marry simultaneous sipper I mean duh who wouldn't so uh let's let's turn this into something okay let's turn it into something where if you get a request from the simultaneous sipper you take it seriously because that's somebody who's got it going on all right let's talk about some things I have two entertainment related recommendations which I know you love because who doesn't want to know what I think is entertaining so that that can inform you everybody everybody cares what I find entertaining don't they I hope I'm not wrong about that well all right I have sampled for you two pieces of content both from Netflix one is comedy stand up by comedian Neil Brennan recommended Neil Brennan the the magical part of it is a uh identifies strongly as a Democrat left-leaning kind of a guy but he goes right at his own people so he he's explaining the difficulty of being a lefty in a world where sometimes you're not left enough so he's continually frightened about whether whether he's liberal enough because he's being judged by his own people you have to see it right I can't you can't possibly explain it in a way that makes it sound effective I would just tell you that you would love it whether you're left leading or right leading just because he does it really well he's just really good at it I wish I had known him before I guess he's been around a while um the second piece of content do you remember the old Adams Family TV show they spelled it with two D's but it was the bane of my existence because I was a child when The Adams Family was a big TV show do you think anybody ever accused me of being Uncle Festus or Fester or whoever he was oh yeah they did oh yeah yeah I heard I heard a few Gomez references um however there's a new show called Wednesday Adams and Wednesday is the the young daughter and I'll give you some good things about it and then I'll tell you why you should not watch it whatsoever but you'll probably will anyway because there's not much on one reason to watch it is that the young actress who plays the part really good they the casting was really good great job and I love the look of it in the feel of it and the vibe of it it's all really well done but here's why you probably should never watch this piece of it's just it's anti-male porn it's about a young girl who does horrible things to adult white men and that's the whole show the in the in the first scene and she has the balls ripped off a man for you know being part of some men who threatened her she has his balls ripped off and that's like a joke that he got his nuts chewed off by some fish that she put in there that actually is played for laughs the how much she can destroy the lives of white Bales who by the way in the movie all have it coming right so they're all terrible people these white men the the whole show is just anti-white male porn and I would watch it as porn if I were a woman who hated men so if you ate man it's a really good show so yeah and if you want to see if you want to see how Hollywood is completely destroying itself it's worth watching it for that because I don't see how they can survive really I mean what other group imagine if you just changed the genders you know this is the old I hate doing this but it kind of screams for in this case imagine there were a movie it was just completely straight movie somebody just made a movie in which there was a young man who crippled and decapitated just adult women and then the whole movie was how the women were horrible Karens but she she killed them all or um the the young man killed them all that wouldn't be on TV would it would never be on TV but as long as it's a young woman destroying the lives of men who totally deserve it according to the movie fine no problem all right well Hollywood is dead um so I updated the hoax quiz used to be 16 elements now it's up to 17.

and the new the new hoax is that Trump invited uh Nick Fuentes and Myla the the truth seems to be and axios reports this was not just Trump saying it the truth seems to be that he didn't didn't know Fuentes was coming now that doesn't mean that Trump is in the clear right I'm not giving him a pass I'm just saying that it's a hoax that he invited him and that's you know what uh the the Rob reiners are saying today how could you invite him well he didn't it was a trick uh but Trump made a statement and I think this uh Trump's statement um fixed everything uh because you know how Trump is good at smoothing things over you know you take a provocative situation and you can count on Trump to say something that'll just completely take the energy out of it and and make you not care about it anymore so here's the beginning of his statement he said quote so I help a seriously troubled man who just happens to be black yay Kanye West who has been who has been decimated in his business and virtually everything else who has always been good to me by allowing his request for a meeting at Mar-A-Lago alone and then he goes on to say some other stuff so uh do you think Grandpa Trump could have sounded any more like your racist Grandpa a man who just happens to be black was there somebody out there who didn't know that Kanye was black holy are you telling me yay is black that changes everything yeah you know you always you always joke people always joke when people say I have a black friend you know say oh great you have one black friend you racist and Trump does the most grandfatherly uh sounding thing oh I I was helping this guy who just who just happens to be black like I'm not saying I'm not racist but I helped a guy who just happens to be black it just happens to be black I don't think you could have said that any worse yeah I'm black too I just happened to not look at them I identified that way though so um I'm not sure that made anything better laughs but of course the the way the Democrats are playing it is they're playing it hard you know Republicans would have done the same thing if if some democrat did something awkward um and so now the play is to see if you can make the Republicans uh disavow that dinner with Trump and if they don't disavow it quickly enough and you know aggressively enough then they're racist too so now because De.

Santis has not disavowed it strongly enough or I don't think he's commented then he must be part of it and then Mc.

Carthy hasn't said anything about Marjorie Taylor green who once uh attended some Nick Fuentes event and spoke at it so that that's the game is to make everybody respond now eventually those people will have to respond won't they because the journalists will just Peck them to death until they say something and then once they respond what will they what will the journalist say well not until we force them to respond so that was a pretty weak response so so basically they'd just get another bite of the Apple no matter what these guys say um so that's the play and it's a good play politically politically it's pretty powerful um so I thought the best comment about this came from Ben Shapiro who said of trump the best way to make sure you don't accidentally have a uh anti-semite attend your dinner is to not invite somebody that you already know is an anti-semite now it's not my claim necessarily that yay is an anti-semite but clearly he said things which Jewish people say nope that's anti-Semitic so uh you know Ben benkin play that team he's he's got all the credentials he needs that wasn't a bad comment if you invite somebody who's already nationally accused of being anti-semitic you can't be too surprised if he brings a friend I think he nailed it all right now here's here's the layout you know Fox News is trying to freeze Trump out by not talking about him right so Fox News is not going to back him um which means you know other Rupert Murdoch properties probably won't back up you know that Breitbart went hard at this situation so Breitbart seems anti-trump and now the daily wire if we can judge from Ben Shapiro's point so are those the three biggest conservative news outlets who's left I would say they are the most influential and also the biggest how in the world would Trump win without Fox News without Breitbart and without the daily wire like how how does he win we shall see we shall see yeah now remember my idea that Trump instead of doing a normal campaign he should just create his own podcast and then he should ask ask people to be on it so instead of being the gas station you should be interviewing the guests imagine imagine Trump hosting his own podcast and inviting yay and Fuentes to be on after Trump knows that they screwed him after Trump knows that he screwed him invite him on to explain themselves would you watch that how would you watch anything else are you kidding me because do you think Trump is happy about either of those guys if there's one thing that Trump doesn't like it's somebody who pretends to be his friend and then stabs him in the back in public which is what he aided yeast abdomen the back how much do you think how much do you think Trump thinks of yay when when Trump has been Pro yay from the beginning and yay just stabs him in the back I would love to see that interview I think Trump would just rip his head off you know verbally and you know and yay wouldn't back down what would happen I mean it would be the most interesting thing I'd ever seen in my life so I don't know that Trump can become president under this cloud and other clouds but he could have the best podcast anybody ever had it would be the biggest thing ever am I right does anybody disagree with me that if you started a podcast where he interviews the most provocative people you would have to watch it you couldn't you couldn't not watch it yeah he could fund his entire campaign with a pay-per-view oh my God pay-per-view pay-per-view Trump interviews Kanye and Fuentes at the same time pay-per-view I would pay for that I would totally pay for that yeah you say it's a non-story but you don't get to you don't get to say that because the Press decides what's the story it's not it's not your interest there are plenty of interesting things that are not in the news because the news decided that's not a story for you so what do you say it's not a story that means nothing you're not in charge of making a story there and they made it a story so it is a story because the people who make stories say this all right um is it true that Mc.

Carthy is considering Marjorie Taylor green as Speaker of the House I'm saying that on social media but that doesn't sound true that's not true is it I haven't seen a news story on it that sounds like just something that Dems are saying to scare the country right yeah it doesn't sound right all right um how many of you think that yay and Fuentes set up Trump and that the the purpose of it was to sabotage Trump how many of you think that you don't think it was sabotage you think that yay thought that bringing Fuentes to Mar-A-Lago would be perfectly non-controversial no of course he knew what he was doing how could he not yay isn't mentally incompetent like he he knows how to address himself and he he knows how the world works and stuff he's not crazy in that way he knows how the world works of course of course it was I don't think there's any question about that and if by the way if Trump doesn't destroy yea for this then he's not Trump don't you think I I think Trump is going to absolutely destroy you I think he's just going to completely destroy him do you think so I think he should he should if anybody ever had it coming and you know maybe maybe that's the fight that yay wants yay might want that fight maybe that helps him more energy who knows so this will get interesting but you did not see uh Trump you know forcefully uh disavow Fuentes because I assume because there are too many people who vote for Trump who like Fuentes so now that's consistent Trump does not typically he doesn't criticize people who support him now there's some question about whether Fuentes really supports De.

Santis or Trump I don't know I don't know I I think maybe that's an open question somebody says who's Fuentes let me explain him Nick Fuentes is a hispanic white supremacist he's a hispanic white his supremacist it's just a weird thing that you can say that in public and that everybody's okay one of those hispanic white supremacists does that even make sense I think his father's Mexican descent that's why his name is Fuentes but but I wonder how many of his followers followers even understand that the whole white supremacy thing you know is not exactly what you think it is now I was reading up a little bit of Fuentes and the funniest thing that he says because here's the main thing I think you have to treat Fuentes as a an Entertainer but also a political force so a little a little bit like Trump in that sense within the entertainment part one of the things he says that women shouldn't have the vote and he doesn't want women working you know that it's more like it's more like you should go back to the old days where the women stay home and they raise babies and he says that out loud and you know completely without any reservations and I'm seeing somebody here saying well I agree and I'm saying even uh even Erica is saying I don't disagree yeah there there are in fact women who say that women shouldn't have the vote I don't think anybody should have the vote it's not like men are nailing it yeah if you took a woman out of the vote do you think you'd get a better result doubt it you'll get a different result probably different but would it be better I don't know who knows so um this whole thing worked really really well for whoever was behind it now here's the first question I think you need to answer how do yay and Fuentes know each other wouldn't you like to know that story do you think they just ran into each other do you think that yay was just a fan or vice versa and or or that Milo did it do you think that oh you think it was Milo then do you think Milo was trying to destroy yay because could you imagine Milo sort of wouldn't know how this would turn out of course he would know of course he would both free basins all right let me uh let me just throw a little conspiracy theory uh juice into the mix you like your conspiracy theories don't you in 2017 Chuck Schumer said of trump it's the dumbest thing in the world to insult the intelligence Community because they have a thousand ways from Sunday to get back to you so Chuck Schumer who definitely knows how things work behind the curtains said the intelligence agencies are going to come for Trump and then and then we saw that 50 former and current Intel people signed a thing that said that Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation which probably had a big impact on the election they came for Trump no question about it they came for Trump now let me ask you this were you surprised that those uh let's see the Whitmer kidnap uh people that there were FBI informants in that extremist group were you surprised by that probably not because they try to infiltrate any extremist group how about the proud boys I guess the number one or maybe the number two people in the proud boys might have been a FBI informant or something I forget what the details are was that surprising big surprise you shouldn't be a surprise because that's exactly who the intelligence people would want to co-opt right now how about Nick Fuentes do you think Nick Fuentes works for himself and has no contact whatsoever with the groups who have a great incentive to contact him and co-opt him do you think that the intelligence agencies would miss this opportunity to do the most obvious thing that they routinely do which is to get the top racist sort of working on their team if you were if you were the government and you wanted to find out where all the racists were in the country how would you do it how would you find all the races well you might find somebody who appeals to that group of people and then get close to them and find out who's on their list and then once you have the mailing list and the people who watch Nick Fuentes the most you have an entire database of people with a certain certain philosophy and they're the ones you want to watch if you're if you're the government so you don't think that intelligence and FBI law enforcement you don't think they've tried to penetrate the the Nick Fuentes organization the the gripers I have no I have no information that they have right there's no evidence that has happened but you don't think they tried why wouldn't they it's it's literally what they do for a living they literally tried to infiltrate groups exactly like that so they know what's happening and wouldn't you want them to don't you want them to penetrate all those groups well you don't want them to you know be inciting violence within those groups but you'd want them to penetrate them just to keep an eye on things just in case in case there's something going on there that's going to get dangerous so what are the odds that yea and Fuentes met each other organically somebody somebody says I'm FBI um what are the odds they met each other organically the first thing I would do is I would ask them because you know there isn't yay and Fuentes they're both accessible to the Press are they not can't you just reach them and ask them a question then they would answer you I would ask them how they met now if it turns out it's Milo that still doesn't settle the question does it because you don't know what Milo's up to but if you wanted to follow the money and take the most obvious straightforward assumption based on pattern recognition it would look like this and I'm not saying this is true I'm saying that all of our experience and pattern recognition should tell you the following that it was not an OP it was an Intel opt to make sure Trump doesn't get reelected and the Fuentes may or may not be aware of it I mean he might be he might have just gotten an invitation and thought oh of course I'll go I mean it doesn't mean he's part of the plotting but that doesn't happen by accident it doesn't happen by accident that he got in there so somebody with a little weight was was uh suggesting behind the scenes there's a little suggesting going on there now how worried are you about the EA plus Fuentes uh connection it's real weird because because they're both considered you know I guess anti-semites at this point but they're uh it's a weird it's a weird group to be called racists and anti-semites so I mean one's black one's last name is Fuentes so it's a weird white supremacist group isn't um now wouldn't you like to know how they met that's all just just find somebody on that list of 50 Intel people who knows both of them and maybe you'd find something else all right just speculating meanwhile over in China apparently the protests in China about the the newest uh crackdowns are getting pretty pretty active so apparently the at least some part of the Chinese public the young people are actually chanting for the overthrow of the government imagine how Brave you have to be to be a Chinese citizen in public chanting against the government do you know one reason that they can do it just by weird coincidence they have to wear masks so China wants to control them at the same time they want them to wear masks how do you just game that out oh we're going to make you do a very very unpleasant things for a long time but also you have to wear a mask so we can't identify you in public how did they think that was going to turn out like did you have to be some political expert to know that if you tell everybody to wear a mask and then you make then you oppress them in ways that they couldn't possibly tolerate there might be some demonstrations on the street and they might be wearing masks they just might be so the experts and I saw a tweet by uh oh who was it Baloo um yes Professor Francois Balu I think pronounce it correctly and he's showing that uh China has two options and both of them are paths to Doom right so they can keep their cat they're locked down in place but the lockdown won't ever make their risk go away because as long as covet is circulating around every time they do a lockdown they just make themselves less immune and eventually they're going to have to unlock down and then it just gets them so so here's the problem the Chinese success of doing the hard lockdown initially did look like a success for a while didn't it as brutal as it was to their citizens it kind of looked like it sort of kind of almost worked I wasn't quite sure but in my mind and I think all of you had the same thing what happens when they stop doing this like don't you eventually all get infected and are you really better off now I thought they had won because I thought that they had stalled until Omicron was here and then Omicron would just act like a practice like like a vaccination but I did see some experts saying that if you didn't have any immunity Omicron would rip through your billion people or so and you you're you'd have some so much massive death especially because China China has an older population right but not as much obesity um and it looks like their Health Care System would be overwhelmed fairly quickly so China has uh Choice one they keep with the lockdowns but the lockdowns can't work and they also can't end because as soon as you end one you know there's gonna be another virus and it pops right back up again so that would cause social upheaval and a massive scale but if they end the lockdowns they would admit that their lockdowns were a failure and there's some thought that they could not they could not survive the government could not survive confessing that big a failure so I don't know I kind of disagree I disagree with the level of risk that China is experiencing I think China could have protests all day long for months and just ride it out because nothing's happening it's just talk as long as the protesters are just talking they'll just you know jail a few play it out you know maybe wait for winter so it's too cold they can just they can just ride it out as long as they don't care about the you know the interim damage of the protests themselves they can ride it out and so I don't see anything that looks like a risk to the government do you does this look like it's genuinely a risk to the government because I don't I don't see it some of you say yes well I would agree that things could turn in a minute but so so far the protesters are not doing anything that's physically um aggressive right the protester is not taking over buildings are they as long as they stay in the street they're not burning anything they're not looting I know but why does the government have to listen to them at all just let him run around and they'll get tired and then they'll run out of food and and they'll have to do something else now this brings us to the protest in Iran did you know that for whatever reason I don't really know why our media isn't really taking the Iran protests very seriously is that my imagination because if you know anybody who has Iranian connections as I do the the word inside of Iran is very different from what we're hearing inside Iran it looks like a real Revolution that might actually topple the government and the thinking at least from one smart person the thinking is that what's different is that it's the women this time and this is sort of like inside inside Iranian culture so this is not me saying this this is someone who knows Iran and knows the women of Iran and the thinking is that you could piss off all the men in Iran forever and it wouldn't change the government but you just pissed off the weapon and when the women are mad and it looks like they're not going to back down you can't really mow down the women does that work does that work anywhere does it work anywhere where you could like mass murder women and then the men would be okay with that I don't think so so I feel like the the pressure in Iran has everything to do with how far the women want to take it if the women take it all the way probably they could they probably could topple the government but uh it would require getting the men involved right because there's a there's a certain amount of violence that's required and the women are going to do the violence at a scale they need the women to jump the men to jump in to do that now why is it that our press is sort of ignoring it what's up with that do you know like it seems to be our press would be all rah-rah-rah let's overthrow Iran but the pr the U.S press is basically quiet about it right showed a few pictures basically quiet somebody says the BBC's on it now I guess the question is maybe if the United States uh looked like it was active you know looked like it was organizing to help the protests that that would help the regime because then Iran would look like he had an enemy from the outside maybe I that doesn't seem like a good enough reason not to cover it so I don't really know why could it be that it's not that big a deal or could it be that our press just doesn't have good information about Iran could it be that they want the nuclear deal could be I don't know um so I saw a quote by Naval tweet and he said that uh losing their privilege status on Twitter is the beginning of the end for mainstream media now that thought takes a little you have to you have to sort of like bounce that around your head a little bit before it makes sense like the first time I read it was like I don't know but then you bounce it around a little bit you're like oh yeah I can say it now I can see it now which is a typical Naval comment like he's a little bit ahead of where your brain is so it takes you there and I can see that because the thing that the the public doesn't understand is how important Twitter is to journalists Twitter is really the journalist's social media wouldn't you say you know Facebook is the mom social media you know Linked.

In is the business person's Instagram is for narcissists and people who would like like to be narcissists and want to be narcissists but Twitter is basically the uh the news journalist place and if the journalists lose their if they lose their rank within Twitter what will they do would they become less important I don't know I feel like here's what I think here's my prediction that the blue check if it goes away and becomes anything that people can buy then people will just look at your follower account instead and it ends up being the same thing am I wrong how many of you look at the follower account to decide how to interpret the tweet I'm not the only one who does that right I definitely do that yeah yeah so I think that I was just speaking for myself and maybe some of you too the blue check was only a proxy for the the follower count now it wasn't a perfect proxy because you know sometimes somebody knew would be building an audience and they're not there yet but you could tell if it's a building audience I feel like the the user account is the only thing that mattered anyway because that's a that's a measure of influence so am I wrong that we don't need the blue check the blue check was just saving you a click and now I'll just do the click see the follower account which makes me wonder if uh has Twitter ever considered getting rid of the follower account imagine that like it would it would change the service to me to the point where I'd be I'd be much less likely to use it because I'm very incentivized by anything I can measure here here's like a a persuasion trick for you people care more about things that can be measured so that's why the things that can be measured end up being dominant over the things that are what you're worried about and they might even be more important but whatever's measured gets the most attention so if you can measure the number of followers then I'm all in I'm like oh I can compete for influence and I can tell how I'm doing by my number of followers so that that's very incentivizing for me I'm like oh I'm in I like I like I like a good competition so every day if I get new followers I look at it I feel good if I get new followers I get a little like boost of dopamine so I'm I'm like part of the machine now so the machine is like treating me like the the chicken that gets a pellet it's like oh look at the pellets you got 500 new users and I'm like oh pellet give me another pellet I want another pellet tomorrow all right predictions prediction is that the internet dads will become the dominant um influence in the country the internet dads and that includes women who are sort of fulfilling the role of Being the adult in the room uh I think it's going to be the internet dads so so and part of that is because the media's influence is being you know deluded by a lot of things and the the internet dad types are adding too much value to be ignored right yeah or the stepdads right the internet's stepdads uh so that's what I think so let's talk about Stephen King um I don't know if I've ever mentioned but people who are professional artists sometimes don't have the best grasp of business and Science and other domains but they think they do boy do they think they do so Stephen King was giving some uh I guess a business criticism to Elon Musk so here's what Stephen King said uh he started out good he goes I think Elon and this is in a tweet I think Elon Musk is a Visionary almost single-handedly he's changed the way Americans think about automobiles I have a Tesla and love it that said he's been a terrible fit for Twitter he appears to be making it up as he goes along and then later I guess you got some responses to that and later he tweeted but Twitter ain't cars and Twitter ain't Rockets so Stephen King with all of his analytical writers ability has decided that uh Elon Musk who didn't know anything about electric cars until he made the biggest electric car company didn't know anything about satellites until they launched his network of satellites didn't know anything about rocket ships to Mars until he became the head of engineering because he couldn't Hire One didn't know anything about uh neural links to your brains until he formed neural link didn't know anything about digital payments until he was part of the Pay.

Pal team didn't know anything about building gigantic machines that bore through the Earth efficiently until he formed the boring company Stephen King do you see a pattern here you see a pattern you know that every one of those things he didn't know how to do until he did them right if you could find the pattern the pattern is he's the guy who knows how to do the things that other people don't know how to do because he figures it out and then he does it that's who he is the most basic description of Elon Musk is the guy who can figure out how to do the thing that other people couldn't figure out how to do that's like his entire brand is doing the thing that Stephen King hasn't noticed he's good at the entire situation is that he can do that over and over again how many times does he have to prove it and and and uh Stephen King hasn't noticed that Tesla can do some things also what do all these things have in common except for um the boring machine the boring machine is the exception what do they all have in common they all require software they're all software driven I'm pretty sure that the reason that that uh that the uh the Rockets can land back on Earth without and be reused isn't that mostly software it is right for the for the engines to fire at just the right degree to bring a Long Tall thing down back on its base that's got to be all software so the software is driving the cars uh must just said they did some huge self-driving test with their uh their new trucks the the big trucks for carrying goods and it worked it's all software so if there's somebody I would trust to fix Twitter which is software I literally there's nobody or person in the world you'd be the first person you'd pick but Stephen King all right um Gavin Newsom is reportedly all in for Biden and we'll wait his turn and will not run for president if Biden is now here's how I interpret that I think Newsom is playing it smart which is not surprising he's a smart politician and there are two things that are possible Biden actually does run in which case it really would be a bad idea to rub against them because primary you're you're sitting president's a bad luck and you'd you know be pissing off some fundraisers and stuff like that so it probably wouldn't work for him in the long run to run against Biden but what are the odds Biden's really going to run versus maybe running a little and dropping out early I feel like Newsom wants to make sure he's as friendly as possible with the Biden team so he can take them over don't you think the number one thing Newsome would want would be for Biden to drop out on his own without being primaries and then for to have his infrastructure just move over to Gavin because apparently it's a good infrastructure for fundraising and stuff like that so I think that's the right play but here's the fun part who really is deciding if Biden's going to run again for for real I mean he says he's running but we don't know do you think it's Biden right you say it's Jill but I don't believe it I don't believe it I don't believe that the president of the United States ever really listens to a wife it doesn't matter who the president is do you know why just imagine yourself as president of the United States and then your wife wants to give you some advice how would you take that here's how I would take it this might be just revealing a personality defect on my part I would see the lips move blah blah blah but then my brain would be saying one of us and only one of us in this room Rose from absolutely nothing to the president of the United States the leader of the most powerful military in the history of humanity one of us did that and then you're the other one blah blah blah blah blah I'm not even going to listen to your blabber and by the way this is not a sexist you can reverse a sexist same thing right if it's Hillary and she's got her opinions and somebody's telling him not Bill obviously his opinions would be valuable but if somebody who's never done anything never accomplished anything except getting married is like blah blah blah Hillary this is what she did what should Hillary do Hillary should say all right I became Hillary Clinton you became whatever you are in the room and I'm not going to listen to that I can't listen to that we have a request for a second sip and I being responsive to my audience I've decided to grant you that privilege it's a privilege for me as well it's a privilege for all of us secondary simultaneous sip on the way hope that was enough warning go I don't know why I'm thinking this something in the comments made me think it I saw a video on Instagram of a woman eating popcorn off her dog's stomach she had a little Chihuahua and a chihuahua was sort of in her arms and you know it was like sleeping and she had put her popcorn on the stomach of the dog and she was just eating a popcorn with the dog it was the best thing I'd seen in a week come on the dog licks your face all day long eating a little popcorn off the dog's stomach isn't going to kill you all right the news as you might expect on a Sunday on a Thanksgiving long weekend the news is sort of shooting blanks so we don't have a lot to work with today uh do you think Hunter is waiting for hunter hearing without some plan you know it could be that Joe Biden needs to remain president long enough to Pardon Hunter has anybody said that out loud because remember the president has lost one adult son and if you've lost one adult son for any reason you become probably a maniac to protect the remaining Sun wouldn't you I mean I imagine that would just like mess with your head so badly so I feel as if Biden will never leave the job voluntarily as long as there's some possibility you'll have to Pardon Hunter because imagine if Biden left the job and then a week later a hunter gets prosecuted imagine that imagine what Joe Biden would think if he thought all I had to do was run for re-election and this wouldn't that be happening yeah so it could be it could be that Joe can't take anybody's advice on this it could be that Biden says the only way to protect my son and maybe myself and maybe the whole family is to just be president until I die I think that might be the play does that ring true is that the best is that the best speculation you've seen so far because I'm not wrong only the president could pardon Hunter right and and only Biden would do it I mean I can't I suppose yeah I suppose in a different Democrat president could do it but you couldn't guarantee that you can never guarantee that you don't want to be really interesting is for Trump to say that he would pardon Hunter but we still have to find out what went on and then say he would he hopes hunter gets some drug treatment yeah I know what you're saying I gather that's not Trump trump is all Predator all the time and that's why you like him so I'm not saying he's ever going to change or that he necessarily should but just imagine what a gigantic mind F that would be because it would remove Joe Biden's reasons for running for president right he could he could take Biden out of the race just promise that we do need to understand the hunter Biden thing so we do need to do the investigation but for the good of the country it doesn't rise to the level where prosecution makes sense it would just so it would screw with your mind so much you wouldn't know what to do with it you just wouldn't know what to do with it imagine if uh Trump showed compassion to Hunter for his drug addiction just imagine that right no thanks yeah yeah it would it would make his base angry you're right but I think I think uh Trump has trapped himself because he has he has such a well-defined base that anything he does that's outside of that little well-defined Channel looks like it's a problem so I think Trump has been painted into a corner a little bit by who supports him and who doesn't uh yeah all right um big Fu to those who suffer under the law yeah you know the whole thing with presidential pardons is that they're all unfair you get that right I don't think there's any I don't think there's ever been a presidential pardon that was fair they don't try to be that's not that's not an objective of presidential pardons the presidential pardon is the one thing that you can't question and and we want it that way we want it to be on an unquestioned right and and so that's what we got uh there's a Rob Reiner impersonator over here who invented the pardon I don't know that's a good question but I I'm reluctantly in favor of the pardon because even though I think the pardon is you know 95 just letting guilty people out of prison um I think you need that five percent to feel like just that little extra safety because you know you might be the one who ends up in prison right it could be you you'd like you'd like to know that there's that little bit of chance that you if you were wrongly convicted you could uh so yesterday you left us with a conversational debunk on the clogs blood clots they are not yeah by the way is anybody uh done the debunk work on that blood clot uh died suddenly film documentary if you do your own research you very quickly find people who say oh that can be explained away it's it's just refrigerated dead people they all have that blood clot stuff like that but there's been a debunk on the debunk there's always a debunk on the debunk that's why basically you just have to make up your own mind is not like we have information that works anymore we don't you have to make up your own mind uh what I say about doing your own research is that you should you should always hear both sides if doing your own research means as a scientist then that usually doesn't work because we're not good scientists even the scientists can't do that but you should always see both sides seeing both sides is just being aware of the argument that's I would say that's different from doing your own research I mean that's the smallest version of doing your own research is simply being aware what the other side says that's a that's that's as far as I would go just be aware of it what you do with it is up to you yeah morticians found the rubbery clots to be anomaly um how much would you want to bet that if you did interviews with uh people in that field you would find people who disagree with you and say no this is normal that's just a refrigerated corpse they all look like that how much would you bet you could find somebody to say who does that job who says no it's obviously faked easily now that doesn't mean it's faked but I'll bet you can find somebody in that industry who says it's fake I don't know who knows now let me uh I did hear from I'm not going to name names but I did hear from a a documentarian who who wanted to clarify that although I said documentaries are by their nature the least credible form of information that does not mean they're incorrect you all get that right I I have to talk about this all the time when I say something has no credibility that doesn't mean it's false there was a completely different topics something could be true or false and you just don't know one way or the other but if the person who has the least has a history of lying all the time is your only source then you'd say well I don't know there's no credibility there name names uh freedom is what is true I don't know yeah I said that yesterday but I have to say it a lot because it's hard to hear yeah I think the rubbery clots are just the refrigerated corpses they have rubbery clots that's what I've been told by doctors um Biden pardons Fuentes for what uh it's easy to find them to discredit then why haven't you done the work oh good question if if it's easy to find the morticians who would discredit it why have I not done the work would anybody like to answer the question before I go off on this person if you answer the question well enough I won't go off on them otherwise I'm just going to go off on on them right now would you would you like to take a moment to possibly stop me from doing that do you know I haven't looked into it I don't work for you do you know how many things I haven't looked into how many things that I could do that I haven't done I have a lot of things to do why don't you looking through it why don't you look into it and then tell me how it went because I'm not going to mow your lawn I'm not washing your dishes I'm not doing your laundry I know you'd like to know well why don't you go do it yourself it's not my job to do every piece of research that you need do you think that's what I'm doing here I do the best I can with the time I have and the and the priorities that make sense to me yeah you go look it up do you know what you're going to find do you know why do you know why I don't look up things when I already know the answer because it's a waste of my time all right if you came to me and said oh we discovered that alcohol makes you immortal and live forever and I say well I don't think so that doesn't sound credible are you going to say to me Scott you haven't taken the time to do a deep dive on this claim that alcohol can make you immortal no I'm not going to do a Deep dive on that is so obviously not true do you know it's also obviously not true I didn't want to say it because I didn't want to insult my audience but I'm just going to do it anyway that blood clot thing is so obviously false if you believe that you're okay I don't want to insult you don't believe that don't it's the most obviously false looking thing I've ever seen if you even feel you need to look into it I don't know I mean go ahead but I'm not going to bother it's so obviously false do you know why it would be the top news story because it's so easy to check like you said I could do a deep dive you don't think the New York Times and other places looked at that and said uh we maybe ought to talk to at least one mortician you don't think anybody did that the of all the of all the media big media people who are looking for a story and would love to have a story because they're conservative ones who would love this to be true right there are conservative ones who get a lot of clicks If This Were true and they could they could confirm it the fact that nobody can confirm this thing should be a big big flag to you that you don't need to research it now the only reason I tell you that you should look into it is because I'm being polite right if you had a little bit of sophistication about looking at the news you wouldn't have to look at that at all it's so obviously false like this one you should have seen from the jump the day I saw that I didn't even give it a moment's thought I just said well that's the most obviously false thing I've ever seen and then people started believing and I'm like oh God they'll believe any thing don't make it my job to debunk the obvious okay maybe I'll debunk things that are a little bit you know on the edge or not so sure but don't maybe debunk things that are so obviously fake so obviously fake all right I really didn't want to do that but you forced my hand Counterpoint why didn't you take any boosters because it was Omicron and I didn't need to travel so anybody who confuses decisions in a state of uncertainty with decisions in a state of certainty you should not be talking in public so is there anybody here who knows why I got the original two uh vaccinations okay can you answer the question why did I for sex yeah I did it for sex and so far I'm healthy and I had lots of good sex so for those of you who are criticizing me you did not go to Bora Bora and have amazing sex in a in a tropical Paradise I did I did I took the chance now if you say Scott if you drop dead from that shot the joke's on you do you know what I'd say I'm ready to go I wouldn't have a special problem with that I'm absolutely ready no I'm not I'm not suicidal right everything's fine my mental state is actually very very good I'm just saying that I I took a chance I I weighed the the pluses and the minuses in a state of not knowing really what was true I didn't know if the at that point I didn't have any sense of whether the vaccination or the covet itself would be more dangerous or even how well the vaccination worked those were all unknowns but I knew for sure that I like high quality sex in tropical locations that was the only thing I knew for sure and that if I got that second Jab I could go to a tropical location and be my brains out while you were laying on your couch with a mask on so all of you Geniuses who laid on the couch with your mask on good for you you're the Smart Ones all right this is this is the other thing that I think is funny I just saw a comment on locals how many of you think that a rich male in America in 2022 somebody who is Rich and has pretty much perfect body mass index body do you think I calculate does anybody think that's like beyond my it's beyond my reach what world do you live in yeah what world do you live in that a rich healthy guy can't get laid in America like how how bad would your game have to be well you couldn't make that work what age do you target doesn't matter so one of the comments was what age do you target again Rich healthy band in America no you have lots of options have lots of options yeah I don't go full Epstein that would be too far and I'm not terribly interested in anybody who's too young still legal but Too Young Too Young meaning let's say in their 20s 20s is kind of tough um anyway somebody says the older you get the more you have to fight them off that is totally true the the old the closer I get to death the more valuable I am you get that right it's true it's like absolutely true the closer I am to death the better I am as a marriage potential because you get at least you get the money even if you don't get the guy yeah anyway so um I guess I don't have much to talk about today because the news is a little uninteresting by tomorrow it'll be all interesting again are you seeing any difference in Twitter lately I thought the trolls went away for a while but I think they're back so I I had a troll Resurgence recently Dave I see a troll Resurgence recently you know it could be an individual thing I don't know it could be just what I said but some people who just clearly look like trolls came after me and I thought for a while I hadn't been seeing any now here's the other thing that's happening my number of likes and retweets is just through the roof recently is anybody noticing that like like an average just pretty good tweet we'll get a thousand likes and before before musk would be like 500.

so I must just showed us the slides you showed to the Twitter internally uh internal group and musk is saying that the um Twitter use is just way up way up so maybe it's just that just Twitter uses way up just looking at your comments for a moment yeah it does feel like I was being throttled and to me the most interesting thing that musk has said so far is that we have no idea how bad it was like he's actually dug down to the point where he's telling us some version of this everything you suspected was true and it might even be worse than you thought now that does feel believable doesn't it I I think it's exactly what it looked like that people on the left didn't want to give up their narrative and they had a tool that would help them hold on to it and so they used the tool I think that's the whole story I haven't seen anybody address The hoax list who was a prominent person wouldn't you love to see Trump um have a podcast where the guest was any any critic of his a Democrat who believes the hoax all the hoaxes and then a second guest was me and then Trump says all right you say this is true you say this is a hoax fight it out seriously that would be a hundred million views I'm not joking if Trump had a podcast where interviewed me about the hoax list and a Democrat who believed them a hundred million hits well unless it got suppressed by the I guess it would be suppressed yeah am I right that would be a hundred million hits I think it would be it would actually be maybe the biggest content ever produced am I wrong I mean that's a pretty big I'm making a big claim I'm saying it would be the most watched content of all time on the entire internet it would be number one of all time I think so unless it was suppressed if it got suppressed then nobody sees it and I think it probably would be expressed yeah You.

Tube would suppress it of course yeah I don't think You.

Tube could allow the list to get much play foreign by the way one of the reasons that I avoid cancellation is by keeping my audience intentionally small did you ever wonder why I don't do more to grow my audience has anybody ever wondered about that does it seem suspicious to you that I haven't you know increased my production values and done marketing and tweeted and appear on other broad on other podcasts to sell this one it's because I don't want it any bigger if it gets bigger I'll be a Target and my current size I have crazy influence because it's just the nature of the people who watch this it's sort of a small it's like a boutique content can I use that word does this feel like Boutique content because there's a certain small group of people who are going to love it but it won't be necessarily even on the awareness of anybody else and I think that's the way it works best because if I had the size audience of let's say Alex Jones or Ben Shapiro I think that I would have to get canceled but here's here's the here's how this works if you're a Democrat you would have no idea how much influence I have would you give me a fact check on that true or false there's probably no Democrat anywhere who has any idea what kind of influence I have on events in the world wouldn't you agree I don't think they're ready I bet you literally would not be able to find one now is that true of conservatives do you think conservatives know how much influence I have on events they have a much better idea but nobody nobody knows the full catalog you know that right just like every famous person you think you know their story but the real story is always different right you think you know everything about Elon Musk well you don't like there's a version of Elon Musk that only he knows only he knows nobody else knows it and never will and that's true of all of all famous people the real story nobody will never know that so I think that Republicans have a sense that you know things I say sometimes get repeated so that they can see that level of influence but there's nobody in the world who knows my full catalog of things I've influenced I'm the only one I'm literally the only one and if I told you you wouldn't believe it so it just stays with me I'll go to my grave being the only one who ever knew and that gives me tremendous power tremendous power because if people knew how much influence they had they'd try to stop it the Democrats are completely oblivious the Republicans think it's a little bit of influence but you know they generally like the way I influence things so they're like okay he's got a little bit of influence just like other people so we like it uh the only reason I could operate is because people don't know what I'm doing and how much do you love the fact that I can say it publicly I can tell you directly but it's a it's it's in this category of things which can't be communicated I can say it but uh Democrat can't hear it right I can stand in front of my building and say do you have any idea what I'm doing and I could tell them and then they would say a crazy guy in the building and go on with their day it can't be communicated it's completely a non-transferable knowledge it's it's weird what about Bill Maher um cake recipes what uh people I know of you but truly don't know how much yeah and one of the things that protects me is that I'm famous as a Cartoonist what do you think Democrats think when they hear you know I said something in public about politics the first thing they think is the way you think of Stephen King I assume they go well we don't have to listen to Stephen King he's he's a writer and when they hear from me they're like ah cartoonist uh um yeah cartoon boy so that works in my favor because I'm not taken seriously and that's exactly that's exactly where I like to hide what one of the things that I can't fully teach you is how to use psychology to make things invisible but I do it all the time and the News does it all the time usually redirection but um I I basically made myself invisible and I could just hide here forever like I'm in public and invisible at the same time right I mean you're watching it in real time I'm in public but also invisible I do it because the psychology allowed it to happen so I I just inserted myself where I could hide so as long as I'm famous for cartooning and Democrats are living mostly in their bubble and they just get like a little bit of a little bit of a taste of what's happening in the other bubbles but that's it as long as they only get a taste and that's not going to change there's nothing that's going to change that they're always going to see me as the the Garfield guy when they joke that they forget what cartoon I do and I'll never be taken seriously that's exactly where I want to be ah desert Ferry check you would be right except that I don't have bad intentions if I were trying to enrich myself in this process it would be obvious wouldn't it would be pretty obvious um do you know how I could make more money I do just agree with one side all the time right it could not be more obvious if I wanted to make money I would just agree with the Republicans whatever they said and then I would have the same audience as your biggest people who talk about this stuff but I don't want that but I also prefer a more honest approach so well that's enough about me um then you would not be worth as much yeah yeah there's there's something about overexposure that diminishes you so I'm trying to stay below that now um I've also said that I'm not going to appear on any other podcasts or media at least for the next year or so do you know why I'm doing that other than time management do you know why I'm not appearing on other podcasts it's because if I appear on other podcasts the Democrats will see me I'd rather just they don't yeah yeah my it doesn't benefit me to get more attention that would actually make me worse off I I now have just the right attention because I have um I have almost a hundred thousand Twitter followers I told you if I get to a million which looks like it'll happen before 2024.

if I get to a million followers if I ever given you my equation for power the equation is uh your persuasion skill times your reach so if you're the most persuasive person in the world but you only have one friend you're not going to have much influence except on one person but if you have a big platform then your influence gets to all those people so the two things that matter is how good you are at persuading and how many people are paying attention so Trump had you know uh top grades in both Trump had the best power of persuasion and then he also had a big platform yeah Andrew Tate same thing power of persuasion big platform that's what you want I I have nearly a million followers and as good as tatus he's very good at persuasion As Good As Trump is very good at persuasion I'm better than both of them so if I get to a million probably can run everything now of course that's an exaggeration but it's a directionally correct exaggeration meaning that I would have influence over some big topics just by number of followers yeah you haven't heard many positive things about ESG lately have you how many of you thought I could kill the ESG by the end of the year when I told you that I was going to do it how many how many thought that would happen would you agree it happened would you agree that that was an accomplished goal even I don't know because you don't know what would have happened you know if he hadn't been here what would have happened here's what I think I think that when Dilbert mocks it as it becomes nearly impossible to be in public and not know that everybody knows what you talk about is and it makes it really uncomfortable to be on the side that dilber says is you thought I would need more cartoons to do it uh somebody says the groipers love me I don't know if that's true ESG was not financially feasible right but a lot of a lot of things that live forever are not financially beneficial so that wasn't enough to kill it by itself it only mattered that somebody was making money on it right as long as Black.

Rock or somebody was making money there'd be more of it so I think I think what's happening is not just that people realize it's not a good investment strategy but it's just mocked into into ridiculous territory uh groupers are the followers of Nick Fuentes somebody asked me what's a griper um know more about Colorado for no I don't do the mass shooters and I think everybody's okay with that right you're you're okay with me not doing the math Shooters now by the way here's another example the mass Shooters are of interest to people and if I wanted to make more money I would talk about them I just don't think it's good for the world you know it's good that you know that it happened and that's it I want to be aware of it you know want to be able to give as much support to the you know the survivors and families and stuff but the less we talk about it the better and I feel like I have to model that right so I to be that to me making money on the back of that would put me in Alex Jones territory you know what I mean if I try to monetize that knowing that I'd be monetizing it knowing I would be contributing to making them more of it by making it more of top of mind and crazy people don't need bad ideas top of mind hey Scott did you hear Kanye was hanging out with a white supremacist no I hadn't heard uh yeah so here's the question has Trump lost his Edge what do you think it feels like it doesn't it it feels like it now predictably he should because the experience he's been through plus the normal effect of being the age that he is he should be losing a step exactly the way we see Biden losing his step like this is exactly the way we saw Reagan lose a step right we shouldn't be surprised if he loses a step that's that's just going to happen uh Twitter gave him his Edge yeah in a very real way Shapiro and Fuentes need to debate no no no they don't bad idea bad idea now Ben Shapiro's reputation is as solid as it could be you don't want him to sit in the chair with somebody who could affect his reputation that way now even though I'd love to see him interviewing you know some real disagreeable people that wouldn't be good for him I would recommend against it but Trump could do it uh yeah will Biden keep Kamala no uh robocops no they're not really robocops or the the robots are controlled by people the San Francisco police robots um I I just had this thought from prior topic my understanding is that Iran is planning to do a public hanging of one of the protesters can can you get a fact check on that what would happen if Iran is ready to like boil over and Iran goes ahead with a public hanging because I think that's the plan that's what I heard yesterday public hanging of a protester do you would that not make the whole country explode wouldn't it I mean imagine if you're a protester and then you see one of you just hanging from a rope and you knew that the regime did that just to make you see it that would I think I'd become I would become dangerous at that point at that point there's probably nothing I wouldn't do to the regime do you feel the same way like it's one thing to have the you know cops trying to stop you from protesting and blah blah but if you take somebody from that group and you hang them from a public scaffold I'm ready to do whatever it takes at that point all of my risk reward calculation just goes to zero have you ever had that happen by the way this this is probably what makes me the most dangerous not not things I say on Twitter uh the thing that makes me most dangerous which even I'm afraid of is that there are moments when um I lose all fear of any consequences now it doesn't happen often but it only happens in the in the situation where I've just made a decision you know as opposed to wanting something oh I want this protest to go my way but when I decide there's this thing that happens that I could feel in real time I just feel every every risk or fear just disappear and I go into this calm um executioner mode where I could do anything they could actually do anything so if I had to like murder you know a member of the regime with my bare hands yes I could do it without even worrying about it like like that's just what something that happens but now but to be clear it's a rare situation I'll tell you one time it happened uh some of you heard the story back when smoking was legal in offices and I I asked you know could I be moved to a cubicle that's away from the smokers and it couldn't be done and so I staged a protest and I felt before I did it because I was obviously going to risk my job that I was going to take down the whole company like I wasn't just gonna it wasn't going to be about smoking once I realized that they weren't going to help me and that my health was at my health was at risk such arrogance Scott yes a little bit once I realized they weren't going to help me and then they coincidentally they they set around a thing where he had to sign a document that said you understood the workplace dangers and it listed a bunch of types of dangers and one of the things that listed was secondhand smoke so the company asked me to sign the document to say I understood that being near second hand smoke was dangerous at the same time they were making me agree that if I saw danger in the workplace it was my responsibility to stop it right they made me sign that document at the same time they said you have to sit next to the second degree second-hand smoke well at that point what do you think happened remember that thing I said where all fear goes away disappeared at that point I was going to take down the little company which by the way I could have done I was already hypnotist by then probably could have done it I would just have to go to the media and tell the story that would be damaging to them and I could have done that so I was willing to actually throw away my entire career potential for the rest of my life not wisely it wasn't really the fight I should have died at you know 22 or whatever it was 25.

and I shouldn't that shouldn't have been the play but instead I just told my bosses well I'll stay home until you solve the workplace Danger and the first day they thought I was joking didn't come to work the boss called in and said really you're really not coming to work anymore I go I'm not quitting I'm doing what you asked me to do which is to escape from a workplace danger alert my immediate alert my managers and when it's when that's rectified I'll come back to work and by the third or fourth day that I didn't go to work well they still paid me um it started going up the up the management ranks until it got to somebody who said uh we're going to change the smoking situation so they they changed the smoking situation they moved me I moved me to a place in the building that didn't have a smokers which they could have done the whole time but here's the thing when you get to that point where you've decided there's no fear there's no fear once you decide there's fear when you want I'd want it to go this way but not so much that I'm going to do something about it so I don't know if anybody else has that experience have you ever been in an experience where all of your fear went away and you could feel it in real time and you just became almost Godlike because when you have no fear do you know how scary you are have you ever had to had a conflict with somebody who clearly had no fear about anything don't get yourself in that situation the last thing you want is to be in a confrontation with something that has no fear and I become that person not in any it's not planned it just happens because once I've decided we're done the decision is the decision it's just going to happen thirty percent THC is healthy says the government what I haven't heard that like someone on Beth here um how do you think Trump has withstood all the hoaxes and without quitting well he has weirdly thick skin and he's also an optimist so I think Trump thinks that things will work out in the long one and they usually do I should do MMA now because MMA I would just be wanting to fight so I'd get killed but you wouldn't want to get in a fight with me if I decided to win there's no way you would survive that nobody would ever survive that if I decided right um Adam and kringler is a cloud chaser okay so I'm seeing somebody some people say that Ann Coulter is who was behind the the meeting with Trump I don't see any evidence of that um you were a tennis player that says it all well I don't play tennis anymore um all right I don't have anything else to say Scott I'm hearing cognitive dissonance about what yeah insane people have no fear that's what makes them scary uh if if Biden gets rid of the black VP now because the black community doesn't like uh his vice president either so oh that cloud chasing was to someone else okay does yay become the king maker if he takes down the current King maker kinda yeah um good morning San Diego uh huh give me six and then I could carry your home state right Biden and yay I don't think so when you have no fear do you still have the voice that you had yes yes I do I still hear the voice in my head but the voice of my head has just made a decision and then I'm then I'm just it's mechanical after that it's like I'm a robot um vax mandates were upheld by the ninth circuit yes I hear a voice in my head so we talked about that yesterday I guess 30 of the country hears a voice in their head continuously I'm one of them I hear myself thinking in full sentences as if I'm listening and that's how I arranged my thoughts have you ever noticed that if you ask some people a question about let's say a topic that they've thought about some people have like an instant answer I'm one of those people you could ask me almost anything that's been in the news even before I was doing this publicly and I would have an instant answer for you because I've already thought of it in terms of the words I would describe it to someone else that's how I think I think in terms of how I would describe it to someone else do you do that uh all of my mental conversation is me describing what I think is true to an invisible listener and then if I can describe it well to the imaginary person then it's a thought I keep and if I try to explain it to somebody but I can't then I discard it so the voice is just my filter for deciding what is reasonable if you can't put it in a sentence that makes sense then it probably wasn't reasonable hahaha in the old days they thought it was uh demons you don't do that is that you realize that that's also the same technique for why you do a business case for something that you know you wanted to do so I used to be my job in Corporate America for a while if we if the boss wanted to do something let's say invest in some kind of new technology then it would be my job to do the numbers and and make sure it made sense uh so I've got a big background in that but one of the things you learned is that even if you're pretty sure something makes sense but then you try to write it down and explain it to somebody you realize you can't do it like you read the words you're like why is it that it makes sense to me but I can't write it down in a way to explain it to somebody else in a way that makes sense and the answer is it doesn't make sense that's how you learn that your thought process is irrational when you try to explain it to the imaginary person then you can't do it Craig says his internal voice speaks Esperanto so annoying I know sometimes my internal voice is just signing but it's one of those frauds there's nothing funnier than the people who are fraudulent sign language people there have been a few of them you've seen them right the videos I don't know how how it happened but somebody somehow got the job and the politician will be talking and they'll be like and you're looking at them you're like no I haven't seen any of that signing before I'm no expert but it doesn't look like signing to me somebody on on local says you want a hot Android companion more than you want anything else yeah ditto I'm with you on that I think I would be completely happy being an 80 year old guy living with an Android because someday I'll probably be an 80 year old guy who has to live somehow I think I think that an Android companion would be 100 acceptable to me and I would enjoy having conversations with it so long as the hot Android could clean itself after you finish that was an actual comment on locals yeah you definitely want the self-cleaning sex robot like if there's one thing yeah got to be self-cleaning all right we've gone too far all right we've gone too far so we're gonna uh we're gonna say goodbye to the You.

Tube people I'll talk to locals a little bit more and bye for now tomorrow will be much better news

around the globe simultaneously sipped

with you

and I would like to offer this this

following offer to all simultaneous

sippers

have you ever heard of people who went

so uh let's let's turn this into

something okay

let's turn it into something where if

you get a request from the simultaneous

sipper you take it seriously because

that's somebody

who's got it going on

all right let's talk about some things

I have two entertainment related

recommendations which I know you love

because who doesn't want to know what I

think is entertaining so that that can

inform you

everybody everybody cares what I find

entertaining don't they

I hope I'm not wrong about that

well all right I have sampled for you

two pieces of content both from Netflix

one is comedy stand up by comedian Neil

Brennan

recommended Neil Brennan

the the magical part of it

is a uh identifies strongly as a

Democrat left-leaning kind of a guy

but he goes right at his own people

so he he's explaining the difficulty of

being a lefty in a world where sometimes

you're not left enough

so he's continually frightened about

whether whether he's liberal enough

because he's being judged by his own

people you have to see it right I can't

you can't possibly explain it in a way

that makes it sound effective I would

just tell you

that you would love it whether you're

left leading or right leading just

because he does it really well he's just

really good at it I wish I had known him

before I guess he's been around a while

um

the second piece of content do you

remember the old Adams Family TV show

they spelled it with two D's but it was

the bane of my existence because I was a

child when The Adams Family was

a big TV show

do you think anybody ever

accused me of being Uncle Festus or

Fester or whoever he was oh yeah they

did oh yeah yeah I heard I heard a few

Gomez references

um however there's a new show called

Wednesday Adams and Wednesday is the the

young daughter

and I'll give you some good things about

it

and then I'll tell you why you should

not watch it whatsoever but you'll

probably will anyway because there's not

much on

one reason to watch it is that the young

actress who plays the part really good

they the casting was really good

great job and I love the look of it in

the feel of it and the vibe of it it's

all really well done

but here's why you probably should never

watch this piece of

it's just it's anti-male porn

it's about a young girl who does

horrible things to adult white men

and that's the whole show

the in the in the first scene and she

has the balls ripped off a man for you

know being part of some men who

threatened her she has his balls ripped

off and that's like a joke

that he got his nuts chewed off by some

fish that she put in there

that actually is played for laughs the

how much she can destroy the lives of

white Bales who by the way in the movie

all have it coming right so they're all

terrible people these white men

the the whole show is just anti-white

male porn and I would watch it as porn

if I were a woman who hated men so if

you ate man it's a really good show

so

yeah and if you want to see if you want

to see how Hollywood is completely

destroying itself it's worth watching it

for that

because I don't see how they can survive

really

I mean what other group

imagine if you just changed the genders

you know this is the old I hate doing

this but it kind of screams for in this

case imagine there were a movie it was

just completely straight movie

somebody just made a movie in which

there was a young man

who crippled and

decapitated just adult women

and then the whole movie was how the

women were horrible Karens but she she

killed them all or um the the young man

killed them all that wouldn't be on TV

would it

would never be on TV

but as long as it's a young woman

destroying the lives of men who totally

deserve it according to the movie

fine no problem

all right well Hollywood is dead

um

so I updated the hoax quiz used to be 16

elements now it's up to 17. and the new

the new hoax is that Trump invited

uh Nick Fuentes and Myla

the the truth seems to be and axios

reports this was not just Trump saying

it the truth seems to be that he didn't

didn't know Fuentes was coming

now that doesn't mean that Trump is in

the clear right I'm not giving him a

pass I'm just saying that it's a hoax

that he invited him and that's you know

what uh the the Rob reiners are saying

today how could you invite him well he

didn't it was a trick

uh but Trump made a statement

and I think this uh Trump's statement

um fixed everything

uh because you know how Trump is good at

smoothing things over you know you take

a provocative situation and you can

count on Trump to say something that'll

just completely take the energy out of

it and and make you not care about it

anymore

so here's the beginning of his statement

he said quote so I help a seriously

troubled man who just happens to be

black

yay Kanye West who has been who has been

decimated in his business and virtually

everything else who has always been good

to me by allowing his request for a

meeting at Mar-A-Lago alone and then he

goes on to say some other stuff

so

uh

do you think Grandpa Trump

could have sounded any more like your

racist Grandpa

a man who just happens to be black

was there somebody out there who didn't

know that Kanye was black

holy are you telling me yay is

black

that changes everything

yeah you know you always you always joke

people always joke when people say I

have a black friend

you know say oh great you have one black

friend you racist

and Trump does the most grandfatherly uh

sounding thing oh I I was helping this

guy who just who just happens to be

black

like I'm not saying I'm not racist but I

helped a guy who just happens to be

black it just happens to be black

I don't think you could have said that

any worse

yeah I'm black too I

just happened to not look at them

I identified that way though

so

um I'm not sure that made anything

better

laughs

but of course the the way the Democrats

are playing it is they're playing it

hard you know Republicans would have

done the same thing if if some democrat

did something awkward

um and so now the play is to see if you

can make the Republicans uh disavow

that dinner with Trump

and if they don't disavow it quickly

enough and you know aggressively enough

then they're racist too

so now because DeSantis has not

disavowed it strongly enough or I don't

think he's commented then he must be

part of it

and then McCarthy hasn't said anything

about

Marjorie Taylor green who once uh

attended some Nick Fuentes event and

spoke at it

so that that's the game is to make

everybody respond now eventually those

people will have to respond won't they

because the journalists will just Peck

them to death until they say something

and then once they respond what will

they what will the journalist say

well

not until we force them to respond so

that was a pretty weak response so so

basically they'd just get another bite

of the Apple no matter what these guys

say

um so that's the play and it's a good

play politically politically it's pretty

powerful

um

so I thought the best comment about this

came from Ben Shapiro

who said of trump the best way to make

sure you don't accidentally have a uh

anti-semite attend your dinner

is to not invite somebody that you

already know is an anti-semite

now

it's not my claim necessarily that yay

is an anti-semite but clearly he said

things which Jewish people say nope

that's anti-Semitic so uh you know Ben

benkin play that team he's he's got all

the credentials he needs

that wasn't a bad comment if you invite

somebody who's already nationally

accused of being anti-semitic you can't

be too surprised if he brings a friend

I think he nailed it all right now

here's here's the layout

you know Fox News is trying to freeze

Trump out by not talking about him right

so Fox News is not going to back him

um which means you know other Rupert

Murdoch properties probably won't back

up you know that Breitbart went hard

at this situation so Breitbart seems

anti-trump

and now the daily wire if we can judge

from Ben Shapiro's point

so are those the three biggest

conservative news outlets

who's left

I would say they are the most

influential

and also the biggest

how in the world would Trump win without

Fox News

without Breitbart

and without the daily wire

like how how does he win

we shall see we shall see yeah now

remember my idea that Trump instead of

doing a normal campaign

he should just create his own podcast

and then he should ask ask people to be

on it so instead of being the gas

station you should be interviewing the

guests

imagine imagine Trump

hosting his own podcast

and inviting yay

and Fuentes to be on

after Trump knows that they screwed him

after Trump knows that he screwed him

invite him on to explain themselves

would you watch that

how would you watch anything else

are you kidding me

because do you think Trump is happy

about either of those guys

if there's one thing that Trump doesn't

like

it's somebody who pretends to be his

friend and then stabs him in the back in

public which is what he aided yeast

abdomen the back

how much do you think

how much do you think Trump

thinks of yay when when Trump has been

Pro yay from the beginning and yay just

stabs him in the back

I would love

to see that interview I think Trump

would just rip his head off you

know verbally

and you know and yay wouldn't back down

what would happen I mean it would be the

most interesting thing I'd ever seen in

my life

so I don't know that Trump can become

president under this cloud and other

clouds but he could have the best

podcast anybody ever had

it would be the biggest thing ever

am I right does anybody disagree with me

that if you started a podcast where he

interviews the most provocative people

you would have to watch it you couldn't

you couldn't not watch it

yeah he could fund his entire campaign

with a pay-per-view

oh my God pay-per-view

pay-per-view

Trump interviews Kanye

and Fuentes at the same time

pay-per-view

I would pay for that

I would totally pay for that

yeah

you say it's a non-story

but you don't get to you don't get to

say that

because the Press decides what's the

story it's not it's not your interest

there are plenty of interesting things

that are not in the news because the

news decided that's not a story for you

so what do you say it's not a story that

means nothing you're not in charge of

making a story there and they made it a

story so it is a story because the

people who make stories say this

all right

um

is it true that McCarthy is considering

Marjorie Taylor green as Speaker of the

House

I'm saying that on social media but that

doesn't sound

true

that's not true is it

I haven't seen a news story on it that

sounds like just something that Dems are

saying to scare the country right yeah

it doesn't sound right

all right

um

how many of you think that yay

and Fuentes set up Trump and that the

the purpose of it was to sabotage Trump

how many of you think that

you don't think it was sabotage

you think that yay

thought that bringing Fuentes to

Mar-A-Lago

would be perfectly

non-controversial

no of course he knew what he was doing

how could he not

yay isn't mentally incompetent like he

he knows how to address himself and he

he knows how the world works and stuff

he's not crazy in that way

he knows how the world works of course

of course it was I don't think there's

any question about that

and if by the way if Trump doesn't

destroy yea for this

then he's not Trump

don't you think I I think Trump is going

to absolutely destroy you I think he's

just going to completely destroy him

do you think so

I think he should

he should if anybody ever had it coming

and you know maybe maybe that's the

fight that yay wants yay might want that

fight maybe that helps him more energy

who knows

so

this will get interesting

but you did not see uh Trump you know

forcefully uh disavow

Fuentes because I assume because there

are too many people who vote for Trump

who like Fuentes

so now that's consistent

Trump does not typically he doesn't

criticize people who support him

now there's some question about whether

Fuentes really supports DeSantis or

Trump

I don't know

I don't know I I think maybe that's an

open question

somebody says who's Fuentes let me

explain him Nick Fuentes is a

hispanic white supremacist

he's a hispanic white his supremacist

it's just a weird thing that you can say

that in public and that everybody's okay

one of those hispanic white supremacists

does that even make sense I think his

father's Mexican descent that's why his

name is Fuentes

but but I wonder how many of his

followers followers even understand

that the whole white supremacy thing you

know is not exactly what you think it is

now I was reading up a little bit of

Fuentes and the funniest thing that he

says

because

here's the main thing I think you have

to treat Fuentes as a an Entertainer

but also a political force

so a little a little bit like Trump in

that sense within the entertainment part

one of the things he says that women

shouldn't have the vote

and he doesn't want women working you

know that it's more like it's more like

you should go back to the old days where

the women stay home and they raise

babies

and he says that out loud and you know

completely without any reservations and

I'm seeing somebody here saying well I

agree

[Laughter]

and I'm saying even uh even Erica is

saying I don't disagree yeah there there

are in fact women who say that women

shouldn't have the vote

I don't think anybody should have the

vote it's not like men are nailing it

yeah if you took a woman out of the vote

do you think you'd get a better result

doubt it you'll get a different result

probably different but would it be

better I don't know who knows

so

um this whole thing worked really really

well for whoever was behind it now

here's the first question I think you

need to answer

how do yay and Fuentes know each other

wouldn't you like to know that story

do you think they just ran into each

other

do you think that yay was just a fan

or vice versa and or or that Milo did it

do you think that

oh you think it was Milo

then do you think Milo was trying to

destroy yay

because could you imagine Milo sort of

wouldn't know how this would turn out

of course he would know of course he

would

both free basins

all right let me uh let me just throw a

little conspiracy theory uh juice into

the mix you like your conspiracy

theories don't you

in 2017 Chuck Schumer said of trump

it's the dumbest thing in the world to

insult the intelligence Community

because they have a thousand ways from

Sunday to get back to you

so Chuck Schumer who definitely knows

how things work behind the curtains said

the intelligence agencies are going to

come for Trump

and then

and then we saw that 50 former and

current Intel people

signed a thing that said that Hunter's

laptop was Russian disinformation

which probably had a big impact on the

election

they came for Trump

no question about it they came for Trump

now

let me ask you this

were you surprised

that those uh let's see the Whitmer

kidnap uh people that there were FBI

informants in that extremist group were

you surprised by that

probably not because they try to

infiltrate any extremist group how about

the proud boys I guess the number one or

maybe the number two people in the proud

boys might have been a FBI informant or

something I forget what the details are

was that surprising

big surprise

you shouldn't be a surprise because

that's exactly who the intelligence

people would want to co-opt right

now how about Nick Fuentes

do you think Nick Fuentes works for

himself

and has no contact whatsoever with the

groups who have a great incentive to

contact him and co-opt him

do you think that the intelligence

agencies would miss this opportunity to

do the most obvious thing that they

routinely do which is to get the top

racist sort of working on their team

if you were if you were the government

and you wanted to find out where all the

racists were in the country how would

you do it

how would you find all the races

well you might find somebody who appeals

to that group of people

and then get close to them and find out

who's on their list

and then once you have the mailing list

and the people who watch Nick Fuentes

the most you have an entire database of

people with a certain

certain philosophy and they're the ones

you want to watch

if you're if you're the government

so you don't think that intelligence and

FBI law enforcement you don't think

they've tried to penetrate the the Nick

Fuentes organization the the gripers

I have no I have no information that

they have right there's no evidence that

has happened but you don't think they

tried

why wouldn't they it's it's literally

what they do for a living

they literally tried to infiltrate

groups exactly like that so they know

what's happening and wouldn't you want

them to

don't you want them to penetrate all

those groups well you don't want them to

you know be inciting violence within

those groups but you'd want them to

penetrate them just to keep an eye on

things just in case in case there's

something going on there that's going to

get dangerous

so what are the odds that yea and

Fuentes met each other organically

somebody somebody says I'm FBI

um what are the odds they met each other

organically

the first thing I would do is I would

ask them because you know there isn't

yay and Fuentes they're both accessible

to the Press are they not

can't you just reach them and ask them a

question then they would answer you

I would ask them how they met

now if it turns out it's Milo that still

doesn't settle the question does it

because you don't know what Milo's up to

but

if you wanted to follow the money and

take the most obvious

straightforward assumption based on

pattern recognition it would look like

this and I'm not saying this is true I'm

saying that all of our experience and

pattern recognition should tell you the

following

that it was not an OP it was an Intel

opt to make sure Trump doesn't get

reelected and the Fuentes may or may not

be aware of it I mean he might be he

might have just gotten an invitation and

thought oh of course I'll go I mean it

doesn't mean he's part of the plotting

but that doesn't happen by accident

it doesn't happen by accident that he

got in there so somebody with a little

weight

was was uh suggesting behind the scenes

there's a little suggesting going on

there

now

how worried are you about the EA plus

Fuentes uh

connection

it's real weird

because because they're both considered

you know I guess anti-semites at this

point

but they're uh

it's a weird it's a weird group to be

called racists and anti-semites

so I mean one's black one's last name is

Fuentes

so it's a weird white supremacist group

isn't

um

now

wouldn't you like to know how they met

that's all just just find somebody on

that list of 50 Intel people who knows

both of them

and maybe you'd find something else all

right

just speculating

meanwhile over in China apparently the

protests in China about the the newest

uh crackdowns are getting pretty

pretty active

so apparently the at least some part of

the Chinese public the young people

are actually chanting

for the overthrow of the government

imagine how Brave you have to be

to be a Chinese citizen

in public

chanting against the government

do you know one reason that they can do

it

just by weird coincidence they have to

wear masks

so China

wants to control them at the same time

they want them to wear masks how do you

just game that out oh we're going to

make you do a very very unpleasant

things for a long time but also you have

to wear a mask so we can't identify you

in public

how did they think that was going to

turn out

like did you have to be some political

expert to know that if you tell

everybody to wear a mask

and then you make then you oppress them

in ways that they couldn't possibly

tolerate

there might be some demonstrations on

the street and they might be wearing

masks they just might be

so the experts and I saw a tweet by uh

oh who was it Baloo

um yes Professor Francois Balu I think

pronounce it correctly

and he's showing that uh

China has two options

and both of them are

paths to Doom

right so they can keep their cat they're

locked down in place

but the lockdown won't ever make their

risk go away

because as long as covet is circulating

around every time they do a lockdown

they just make themselves less immune

and eventually they're going to have to

unlock down and then it just gets them

so so here's the problem

the Chinese success of doing the hard

lockdown initially did look like a

success for a while didn't it as brutal

as it was to their citizens it kind of

looked like it sort of kind of almost

worked

I wasn't quite sure but in my mind and I

think all of you had the same thing

what happens when they stop doing this

like don't you eventually all get

infected and are you really better off

now I thought they had won

because I thought that they had stalled

until Omicron was here and then Omicron

would just act like a practice like like

a vaccination

but I did see some experts saying that

if you didn't have any immunity Omicron

would rip through your billion people or

so and you you're you'd have some so

much massive death

especially because China China has an

older population right but not as much

obesity

um and it looks like their Health Care

System would be overwhelmed fairly

quickly

so China has uh Choice one they keep

with the lockdowns

but the lockdowns can't work and they

also can't end

because as soon as you end one you know

there's gonna be another virus and it

pops right back up again so that would

cause social upheaval and a massive

scale

but if they end the lockdowns they would

admit that their lockdowns were a

failure

and there's some thought that they could

not they could not survive the

government could not survive confessing

that big a failure

so I don't know I kind of disagree

I disagree with the level of risk that

China is experiencing

I think China could have protests all

day long

for months

and just ride it out

because nothing's happening

it's just talk as long as the protesters

are just talking

they'll just you know jail a few play it

out you know maybe wait for winter so

it's too cold

they can just they can just ride it out

as long as they don't care about the you

know the interim damage of the protests

themselves

they can ride it out

and so I don't see anything that looks

like a risk to the government do you

does this look like it's genuinely a

risk to the government because I don't I

don't see it

some of you say yes well I would agree

that things could turn in a minute but

so so far the protesters are not doing

anything that's physically

um aggressive

right

the protester is not taking over

buildings

are they

as long as they stay in the street

they're not burning anything they're not

looting

I know but why does the government have

to listen to them at all just let him

run around and they'll get tired and

then they'll run out of food and and

they'll have to do something else

now this brings us to the protest in

Iran

did you know that for whatever reason I

don't really know why our media isn't

really taking the Iran protests very

seriously

is that my imagination

because if you know anybody who has

Iranian connections as I do

the the word inside of Iran is very

different from what we're hearing inside

Iran it looks like a real Revolution

that might actually topple the

government

and the thinking at least from one smart

person the thinking is that what's

different is that it's the women this

time

and this is sort of like inside inside

Iranian culture so this is not me saying

this

this is someone who knows Iran

and knows the women of Iran and the

thinking is

that you could piss off all the men in

Iran forever and it wouldn't change the

government

but you just pissed off the weapon

and when the women are mad and it looks

like they're not going to back down you

can't really mow down the women

does that work does that work anywhere

does it work anywhere where you could

like mass murder women

and then the men would be okay with that

I don't think so so I feel like the the

pressure in Iran has everything to do

with how far the women want to take it

if the women take it all the way

probably they could

they probably could topple the

government

but

uh it would require getting the men

involved right because there's a there's

a certain amount of violence that's

required

and the women are going to do the

violence at a scale they need the women

to jump the men to jump in to do that

now why is it that our press is sort of

ignoring it

what's up with that

do you know

like it seems to be our press would be

all rah-rah-rah let's overthrow Iran

but the pr the U.S press is basically

quiet about it

right showed a few pictures basically

quiet somebody says the BBC's on it

now I guess the question is maybe if the

United States uh looked like it was

active you know looked like it was

organizing to help the protests that

that would help the regime

because then Iran would look like he had

an enemy from the outside maybe I that

doesn't seem like a good enough reason

not to cover it so I don't really know

why

could it be that it's not that big a

deal

or could it be that our press just

doesn't have good information about Iran

could it be that they want the nuclear

deal

could be I don't know

um

so

I saw a quote by Naval tweet and he said

that uh losing their privilege status on

Twitter is the beginning of the end for

mainstream media

now that thought takes a little

you have to you have to sort of

like bounce that around your head a

little bit before it makes sense like

the first time I read it was like I

don't know

but then you bounce it around a little

bit you're like oh yeah I can say it now

I can see it now which is a typical

Naval

comment like he's a little bit ahead of

where your brain is so it takes you

there

and

I can see that

because the thing that the the public

doesn't understand is how important

Twitter is to journalists

Twitter is really the journalist's

social media wouldn't you say

you know Facebook is the mom social

media you know LinkedIn is the business

person's Instagram is for

narcissists and people who would like

like to be narcissists

and want to be narcissists

but Twitter is basically the uh the news

journalist place and if the journalists

lose their if they lose their rank

within Twitter what will they do

would they become less important

I don't know

I feel like here's what I think here's

my prediction

that the blue check if it goes away and

becomes anything that people can buy

then people will just look at your

follower account instead

and it ends up being the same thing

am I wrong

how many of you look at the follower

account to decide how to interpret the

tweet

I'm not the only one who does that right

I definitely do that yeah

yeah

so I think that I was just speaking for

myself and maybe some of you too

the blue check was only a proxy for the

the follower count

now it wasn't a perfect proxy because

you know sometimes somebody knew would

be building an audience and they're not

there yet but you could tell if it's a

building audience I feel like the the

user account is the only thing that

mattered anyway because that's a that's

a measure of influence

so

am I wrong that we don't need the blue

check the blue check was just saving you

a click

and now I'll just do the click see the

follower account

which makes me wonder

if uh has Twitter ever considered

getting rid of the follower account

imagine that

like it would it would change the

service to me to the point where

I'd be I'd be much less likely to use it

because I'm very incentivized

by anything I can measure

here here's like a a persuasion trick

for you people care more about things

that can be measured

so that's why the things that can be

measured end up being dominant over the

things that are what you're worried

about and they might even be more

important but whatever's measured gets

the most attention

so if you can measure the number of

followers then I'm all in I'm like oh I

can compete

for influence

and I can tell how I'm doing by my

number of followers

so that that's very incentivizing for me

I'm like oh I'm in I like I like I like

a good competition

so every day if I get new followers I

look at it I feel good if I get new

followers I get a little like boost of

dopamine

so I'm I'm like part of the machine now

so the machine is like treating me like

the the chicken that gets a pellet it's

like oh look at the pellets you got

500 new users and I'm like oh pellet

give me another pellet I want another

pellet tomorrow

all right predictions

prediction is that the internet dads

will become the dominant

um

influence in the country

the internet dads and that includes

women who are sort of fulfilling the

role of Being the adult in the room

uh I think it's going to be the internet

dads so

so and part of that is because the

media's influence is being

you know deluded by a lot of things

and the the internet dad types are

adding too much value to be ignored

right

yeah or the stepdads right the

internet's stepdads

uh so that's what I think

so let's talk about Stephen King

um

I don't know if I've ever mentioned but

people who are professional artists

sometimes don't have the best grasp of

business and Science and other domains

but they think they do boy do they think

they do

so Stephen King was giving some uh I

guess a business criticism to Elon Musk

so here's what Stephen King said uh he

started out good he goes I think Elon

and this is in a tweet I think Elon Musk

is a Visionary almost single-handedly

he's changed the way Americans think

about automobiles I have a Tesla and

love it that said he's been a terrible

fit for Twitter he appears to be making

it up as he goes along

and then later I guess you got some

responses to that and later he tweeted

but Twitter ain't cars and Twitter ain't

Rockets

so Stephen King with all of his

analytical writers ability

has decided that uh

Elon Musk

who didn't know anything about electric

cars until he made the biggest electric

car company didn't know anything about

satellites until they launched his

network of satellites didn't know

anything about rocket ships to Mars

until he became the head of engineering

because he couldn't Hire One

didn't know anything about uh neural

links to your brains until he formed

neural link didn't know anything about

digital payments until he was part of

the PayPal team didn't know anything

about building gigantic machines that

bore through the Earth efficiently until

he formed the boring company

Stephen King

do you see a pattern here

you see a pattern

you know that every one of those things

he didn't know how to do until he did

them right

if you could find the pattern the

pattern is he's the guy who knows how to

do the things that other people don't

know how to do because he figures it out

and then he does it

that's who he is the most basic

description of Elon Musk is the guy who

can figure out how to do the thing that

other people couldn't figure out how to

do

that's like his entire brand is doing

the thing that Stephen King hasn't

noticed he's good at

the entire situation is that he can do

that over and over again how many times

does he have to prove it

and and and uh Stephen King hasn't

noticed that Tesla can do some things

also what do all these things have in

common except for

um the boring machine the boring machine

is the exception what do they all have

in common

they all require software

they're all software driven

I'm pretty sure that the reason that

that uh that the uh the Rockets can land

back on Earth without and be reused

isn't that mostly software

it is right for the for the engines to

fire at just the right degree to bring a

Long Tall thing down back on its base

that's got to be all software so the

software is driving the cars uh must

just said they did some huge

self-driving test with their uh

their new trucks the the big trucks for

carrying goods and it worked it's all

software

so if there's somebody I would trust to

fix Twitter which is software

I literally there's nobody or person in

the world you'd be the first person

you'd pick

but Stephen King all right

um Gavin Newsom is reportedly all in for

Biden and we'll wait his turn and will

not run for president

if Biden is

now here's how I interpret that

I think Newsom is playing it smart

which is not surprising he's a smart

politician and there are two things that

are possible

Biden actually does run in which case it

really would be a bad idea to rub

against them because primary you're

you're sitting president's a bad luck

and you'd you know be pissing off some

fundraisers and stuff like that so it

probably wouldn't work for him in the

long run to run against Biden but

what are the odds Biden's really going

to run

versus maybe running a little and

dropping out early

I feel like Newsom wants to make sure

he's as friendly as possible with the

Biden team so he can take them over

don't you think

the number one thing Newsome would want

would be for Biden to drop out on his

own without being primaries and then for

to have his infrastructure just move

over to Gavin because apparently it's a

good infrastructure for fundraising and

stuff like that

so I think that's the right play

but here's the fun part

who really is deciding if Biden's going

to run again for for real I mean he says

he's running but we don't know

do you think it's Biden

right you say it's Jill but I don't

believe it

I don't believe it

I don't believe that the president of

the United States ever really listens to

a wife it doesn't matter who the

president is do you know why

just imagine yourself as president of

the United States

and then your wife wants to give you

some advice

how would you take that

here's how I would take it this might be

just revealing a personality defect on

my part

I would see the lips move blah blah blah

but then my brain would be saying

one of us and only one of us in this

room Rose from absolutely nothing

to the president of the United States

the leader of the most powerful military

in the history of humanity

one of us did that

and then you're the other one

blah blah blah blah blah I'm not even

going to listen to your blabber

and by the way this is not a sexist you

can reverse a sexist same thing

right if it's Hillary and she's got her

opinions and somebody's telling him not

Bill obviously his opinions would be

valuable but if somebody who's never

done anything never accomplished

anything except getting married

is like blah blah blah Hillary this is

what she did what should Hillary do

Hillary should say all right I became

Hillary Clinton

you became whatever you are in the room

and I'm not going to listen to that

I can't listen to that we have a request

for a second sip

and I being responsive to my audience

I've decided to grant you that privilege

it's a privilege for me as well it's a

privilege for all of us

secondary simultaneous sip on the way

hope that was enough warning go

I don't know why I'm thinking this

something in the comments made me think

it I saw a video on Instagram

of a woman eating popcorn off her dog's

stomach

she had a little Chihuahua and a

chihuahua was sort of in her arms and

you know it was like sleeping and she

had put her popcorn on the stomach of

the dog and she was just eating a

popcorn with the dog

it was the best thing I'd seen in a week

come on the dog licks your face all day

long eating a little popcorn off the

dog's stomach isn't going to kill you

all right

the news as you might expect on a Sunday

on a Thanksgiving long weekend the news

is sort of shooting blanks so we don't

have a lot to work with today

uh do you think Hunter is waiting for

hunter hearing without some plan you

know it could be that Joe Biden needs to

remain president long enough to Pardon

Hunter

has anybody said that out loud

because remember the president has lost

one adult son

and if you've lost one adult son for any

reason

you become probably a maniac to protect

the remaining Sun wouldn't you I mean I

imagine that would just like mess with

your head

so badly

so I feel as if Biden will never leave

the job voluntarily as long as there's

some possibility you'll have to Pardon

Hunter because imagine if Biden left the

job and then a week later a hunter gets

prosecuted

imagine that

imagine what Joe Biden would think if he

thought

all I had to do was run for re-election

and this wouldn't that be happening

yeah so it could be it could be that Joe

can't take anybody's advice on this it

could be that Biden says the only way to

protect my son and maybe myself and

maybe the whole family is to just be

president until I die

I think that might be the play

does that ring true

is that the best is that the best

speculation you've seen so far

because I'm not wrong

only the president could pardon Hunter

right

and

and only Biden would do it

I mean I can't I suppose yeah I suppose

in a different Democrat president could

do it but you couldn't guarantee that

you can never guarantee that

you don't want to be really interesting

is for Trump to say that he would pardon

Hunter

but we still have to find out what went

on

and then say he would he hopes hunter

gets some drug treatment

yeah I know what you're saying I gather

that's not Trump trump is all Predator

all the time and that's why you like him

so I'm not saying he's ever going to

change or that he necessarily should but

just imagine what a gigantic mind F that

would be because it would remove Joe

Biden's reasons for running for

president

right he could he could take Biden out

of the race

just promise

that we do need to understand the hunter

Biden thing so we do need to do the

investigation but for the good of the

country

it doesn't rise to the level where

prosecution makes sense

it would just so it would screw with

your mind so much you wouldn't know what

to do with it you just wouldn't know

what to do with it imagine if uh

Trump showed compassion

to Hunter for his drug addiction

just imagine that

right no thanks yeah yeah it would it

would make his base angry you're right

but I think I think uh Trump has trapped

himself because he has he has such a

well-defined base that anything he does

that's outside of that little

well-defined Channel

looks like it's a problem so I think

Trump has been

painted into a corner a little bit by

who supports him and who doesn't

uh

yeah

all right

um

big Fu to those who suffer under the law

yeah you know the whole thing with

presidential pardons is that they're all

unfair

you get that right

I don't think there's any I don't think

there's ever been a presidential pardon

that was fair

they don't try to be that's not that's

not an objective of presidential pardons

the presidential pardon is the one thing

that you can't question

and and we want it that way we want it

to be on an unquestioned right

and and so that's what we got

uh

there's a Rob Reiner impersonator over

here

who invented the pardon I don't know

that's a good question

but I I'm reluctantly in favor of the

pardon because even though I think the

pardon is you know 95 just letting

guilty people out of prison

um

I think you need that five percent to

feel like

just that little extra safety because

you know you might be the one who ends

up in prison

right it could be you you'd like you'd

like to know that there's that little

bit of chance that you if you were

wrongly convicted you could

uh so yesterday you left us with a

conversational debunk on the clogs blood

clots they are not yeah

by the way is anybody uh done the debunk

work on that blood clot uh died suddenly

film documentary

if you do your own research you very

quickly find people who say oh that can

be explained away it's it's just

refrigerated dead people they all have

that blood clot

stuff like that

but there's been a debunk on the debunk

there's always a debunk on the debunk

that's why basically you just have to

make up your own mind is not like we

have information that works anymore we

don't you have to make up your own mind

uh what I say about doing your own

research is that you should you should

always hear both sides

if doing your own research means as a

scientist

then that usually doesn't work because

we're not good scientists even the

scientists can't do that

but you should always see both sides

seeing both sides is just being aware of

the argument that's I would say that's

different from doing your own research I

mean that's the smallest version of

doing your own research is simply being

aware what the other side says that's a

that's that's as far as I would go just

be aware of it what you do with it is up

to you

yeah morticians found the rubbery clots

to be anomaly

um how much would you want to bet

that if you did interviews with uh

people in that field

you would find people who disagree with

you and say no this is normal

that's just a refrigerated corpse they

all look like that

how much would you bet you could find

somebody to say

who does that job

who says no it's obviously faked

easily now that doesn't mean it's faked

but I'll bet you can find somebody in

that industry who says it's fake

I don't know who knows now

let me uh I did hear from I'm not going

to name names but I did hear from a a

documentarian

who who wanted to clarify

that although I said documentaries are

by their nature the least credible form

of information that does not mean

they're incorrect you all get that right

I I have to talk about this all the time

when I say something has no credibility

that doesn't mean it's false

there was a completely different topics

something could be true or false and you

just don't know one way or the other but

if the person who has the least

has a history of lying all the time is

your only source

then you'd say well I don't know there's

no credibility there

name names

uh freedom is what is true I don't know

yeah I said that yesterday

but I have to say it a lot because it's

hard to hear

yeah I think the rubbery clots are just

the refrigerated corpses they have

rubbery clots

that's what I've been told

by doctors

um Biden pardons Fuentes for what

uh it's easy to find them to discredit

then why haven't you done the work

oh

good question

if if it's easy to find the morticians

who would discredit it why have I not

done the work would anybody like to

answer the question

before I go off on this person

if you answer the question well enough I

won't go off on them otherwise I'm just

going to go off on on them right

now

would you would you like to

take a moment to

possibly stop me from doing that

do you know I haven't looked into it

I don't work for you

do you know how many things I haven't

looked into

how many things that I could do that I

haven't done

I have a lot of things to do

why don't you looking through it

why don't you look into it and

then tell me how it went because I'm not

going to mow your lawn I'm not

washing your dishes I'm not doing your

laundry I know you'd like to know well

why don't you go do it yourself

it's not my job to do every

piece of research that you need

do you think that's what I'm doing here

I do the best I can with the time I have

and the and the priorities that make

sense to me yeah you go look it

up

do you know what you're going to find

do you know why do you know why I don't

look up things when I already know the

answer

because it's a waste of my time

all right if you came to me and said oh

we discovered that alcohol makes you

immortal and live forever and I say well

I don't think so that doesn't sound

credible are you going to say to me

Scott you haven't taken the time to do a

deep dive on this claim that alcohol can

make you immortal no I'm not going to do

a Deep dive on that is so

obviously not true

do you know it's also obviously not true

I didn't want to say it because I didn't

want to insult my audience but I'm just

going to do it anyway

that blood clot thing is so obviously

false if you believe that you're

okay I don't want to insult you don't

believe that

don't

it's the most obviously false looking

thing I've ever seen

if you even feel you need to look into

it

I don't know I mean go ahead

but I'm not going to bother

it's so obviously false do you know why

it would be the top news story because

it's so easy to check like you said

I could do a deep dive you don't think

the New York Times and other places

looked at that and said

uh

we maybe ought to talk to at least one

mortician

you don't think anybody did that the of

all the of all the media big media

people who are looking for a story and

would love to have a story

because they're conservative ones who

would love this to be true right

there are conservative ones who get a

lot of clicks If This Were true and they

could they could confirm it

the fact that nobody can confirm this

thing should be a big big flag

to you that you don't need to

research it now the only reason I tell

you that you should look into it is

because I'm being polite right if you

had a little bit of sophistication about

looking at the news you wouldn't have to

look at that at all it's so

obviously false

like this one

you should have seen from the jump

the day I saw that I didn't even give it

a moment's thought I just said well

that's the most obviously

false thing I've ever seen and then

people started believing and I'm like oh

God they'll believe any thing

don't make it my job to debunk the

obvious okay

maybe I'll debunk things that are a

little bit you know on the edge or not

so sure but don't maybe debunk things

that are so obviously fake so obviously

fake

all right I really didn't want to do

that

but you forced my hand

Counterpoint why didn't you take any

boosters

because it was Omicron

and I didn't need to travel

so anybody who confuses decisions in a

state of uncertainty

with decisions in a state of certainty

you should not be talking in public

so is there anybody here who knows why I

got the original two uh vaccinations

okay can you answer the question

why did I

for sex

yeah I did it for sex

and so far I'm healthy

and I had lots of good sex

so for those of you who are criticizing

me

you did not go to Bora Bora and have

amazing sex

in a

in a tropical Paradise

I did

I did

I took the chance

now if you say Scott

if you drop dead from that shot the

joke's on you

do you know what I'd say

I'm ready to go

I wouldn't have a special problem with

that I'm absolutely ready no I'm not I'm

not suicidal right everything's fine my

mental state is actually very very good

I'm just saying

that I I took a chance

I I weighed the the pluses and the

minuses in a state of not knowing really

what was true I didn't know if the at

that point I didn't have any sense of

whether the vaccination or the covet

itself would be more dangerous

or even how well the vaccination worked

those were all unknowns

but I knew for sure

that I like high quality sex

in tropical locations that was the only

thing I knew for sure

and that if I got that second Jab

I could go to a tropical location

and be my brains out while you

were laying on your couch with a mask on

so all of you Geniuses who laid on the

couch with your mask on

good for you

you're the Smart Ones

all right

this is this is the other thing that I

think is funny I just saw a comment on

locals how many of you think

that a rich male in America in 2022

somebody who is Rich and has

pretty much perfect body mass index body

do you think I calculate

does anybody think that's like beyond my

it's beyond my reach

what world do you live in

yeah what world do you live in that a

rich healthy guy can't get laid in

America

like how how bad would your game have to

be

well you couldn't make that work

what age do you target

doesn't matter

so one of the comments was what age do

you target again

Rich healthy band in America

no you have lots of options

have lots of options yeah I don't go

full Epstein that would be too far and

I'm not terribly interested in anybody

who's too young

still legal but Too Young Too Young

meaning let's say in their 20s

20s is kind of tough

um

anyway

somebody says the older you get the more

you have to fight them off that is

totally true

the the old the closer I get to death

the more valuable I am

you get that right

it's true it's like absolutely true the

closer I am to death the better I am as

a marriage potential

because you get at least you get the

money even if you don't get the guy

yeah

anyway so

um I guess I don't have much to talk

about today because the news is a little

uninteresting by tomorrow it'll be all

interesting again

are you seeing any difference in Twitter

lately

I thought the trolls went away for a

while but I think they're back

so I I had a troll Resurgence recently

Dave I see a troll Resurgence recently

you know it could be an individual thing

I don't know it could be just what I

said but some people who just clearly

look like trolls came after me and I

thought for a while I hadn't been seeing

any

now here's the other thing that's

happening my number of likes and

retweets

is just through the roof recently

is anybody noticing that

like like an average just pretty good

tweet we'll get a thousand likes

and before before musk would be like

500. so I must just showed us the slides

you showed to the Twitter internally uh

internal group and musk is saying that

the

um

Twitter use is just way up

way up

so maybe it's just that just Twitter

uses way up

just looking at your comments for a

moment

yeah it does feel like I was being

throttled and to me the most interesting

thing that musk has said so far

is that we have no idea how bad it was

like he's actually dug down to the point

where he's telling us some version of

this

everything you suspected was true

and it might even be worse than you

thought

now that does feel believable doesn't it

I I think it's exactly what it looked

like that people on the left didn't want

to give up their narrative and they had

a tool that would help them hold on to

it and so they used the tool I think

that's the whole story

I haven't seen anybody address The hoax

list who was a prominent person

wouldn't you love to see Trump

um have a podcast

where the guest was any any critic of

his a Democrat who believes the hoax all

the hoaxes and then a second guest was

me

and then Trump says all right you say

this is true

you say this is a hoax

fight it out

seriously

that would be a hundred million views

I'm not joking

if Trump had a podcast where interviewed

me about the hoax list and a Democrat

who believed them a hundred million hits

well unless it got suppressed by the I

guess it would be suppressed

yeah am I right

that would be a hundred million hits I

think it would be it would actually be

maybe the biggest content

ever produced

am I wrong I mean that's a pretty big

I'm making a big claim I'm saying it

would be the most watched content

of all time

on the entire internet

it would be number one of all time

I think so unless it was suppressed if

it got suppressed then nobody sees it

and I think it probably would be

expressed

yeah YouTube would suppress it of course

yeah I don't think YouTube could allow

the list to get much play

foreign

by the way one of the reasons that I

avoid cancellation

is by keeping my audience intentionally

small

did you ever wonder why I don't do more

to grow my audience has anybody ever

wondered about that

does it seem suspicious to you that I

haven't you know increased my production

values and done marketing and tweeted

and appear on other broad on other

podcasts to sell this one

it's because I don't want it any bigger

if it gets bigger I'll be a Target

and my current size

I have crazy influence because it's just

the nature of the people who watch this

it's sort of a small

it's like a boutique content

can I use that word does this feel like

Boutique content because there's a

certain small group of people who are

going to love it

but it won't be necessarily even on the

awareness of anybody else and I think

that's the way it works best because if

I had the size audience of let's say

Alex Jones or Ben Shapiro I think that I

would have to get canceled

but here's here's the here's how this

works

if you're a Democrat

you would have no idea how much

influence I have

would you give me a fact check on that

true or false

there's probably no Democrat anywhere

who has any idea what kind of influence

I have on events in the world wouldn't

you agree I don't think they're ready

I bet you literally would not be able to

find one

now is that true of conservatives

do you think conservatives know how much

influence I have on events

they have a much better idea but nobody

nobody knows the full catalog you know

that right

just like every famous person

you think you know their story

but the real story is always different

right you think you know everything

about Elon Musk well you don't like

there's a version of Elon Musk that only

he knows

only he knows nobody else knows it and

never will and that's true of all of all

famous people the real story

nobody will never know that

so I think that Republicans have a sense

that you know things I say sometimes get

repeated

so that they can see that level of

influence but there's nobody in the

world who knows my full catalog of

things I've influenced I'm the only one

I'm literally the only one

and if I told you you wouldn't believe

it

so it just stays with me

I'll go to my grave being the only one

who ever knew

and that gives me tremendous power

tremendous power

because if people knew how much

influence they had they'd try to stop it

the Democrats are completely oblivious

the Republicans think it's a little bit

of influence but you know they generally

like the way I influence things so

they're like okay he's got a little bit

of influence

just like other people

so we like it

uh the only reason I could operate is

because people don't know what I'm doing

and how much do you love the fact that I

can say it publicly I can tell you

directly but it's a it's it's in this

category of

things which can't be communicated

I can say it

but uh Democrat can't hear it

right I can stand in front of my

building and say do you have any idea

what I'm doing

and I could tell them

and then they would say a crazy guy in

the building and go on with their day

it can't be communicated

it's completely a non-transferable

knowledge

it's it's weird

what about Bill Maher

um

cake recipes what

uh people I know of you but truly don't

know how much yeah

and one of the things that protects me

is that I'm famous as a Cartoonist

what do you think Democrats think when

they hear you know I said something in

public about politics

the first thing they think is

the way you think of Stephen King

I assume they go well we don't have to

listen to Stephen King he's he's a

writer and when they hear from me

they're like ah cartoonist uh

um yeah cartoon boy so that works in my

favor because I'm not taken seriously

and that's exactly that's exactly where

I like to hide

what one of the things that I can't

fully teach you

is how to use psychology to make things

invisible

but I do it all the time and the News

does it all the time usually redirection

but

um I I basically made myself invisible

and I could just hide here forever

like I'm in public and invisible at the

same time

right

I mean you're watching it in real time

I'm in public but also invisible

I do it because the psychology allowed

it to happen so I I just inserted myself

where I could hide so as long as I'm

famous for cartooning

and Democrats are living mostly in their

bubble and they just get like a little

bit of a little bit of a taste of what's

happening in the other bubbles but

that's it as long as they only get a

taste and that's not going to change

there's nothing that's going to change

that they're always going to see me as

the the Garfield guy when they joke that

they forget what cartoon I do and I'll

never be taken seriously that's exactly

where I want to be

ah

desert Ferry check you would be right

except that I don't have bad intentions

if I were trying to enrich myself in

this process it would be obvious

wouldn't it

would be pretty obvious

um do you know how I could make more

money I do

just agree with one side all the time

right

it could not be more obvious if I wanted

to make money I would just agree with

the Republicans whatever they said and

then I would have the same audience as

your biggest people who talk about this

stuff

but I don't want that but I also prefer

a more honest approach

so

well that's enough about me

um

then you would not be worth as much yeah

yeah there's there's something about

overexposure that diminishes you so I'm

trying to stay below that now

um I've also said that I'm not going to

appear on any other podcasts or media at

least for the next year or so

do you know why I'm doing that other

than time management do you know why I'm

not appearing on other

podcasts

it's because if I appear on other

podcasts the Democrats will see me

I'd rather just they don't

yeah yeah my it doesn't benefit me to

get more attention

that would actually make me worse off I

I now have just the right attention

because I have um I have almost a

hundred thousand Twitter followers

I told you if I get to a million which

looks like it'll happen before 2024. if

I get to a million followers

if I ever given you my equation for

power

the equation is uh your persuasion skill

times your reach

so if you're the most persuasive person

in the world but you only have one

friend

you're not going to have much influence

except on one person

but if you have a big platform

then your influence gets to all those

people so the two things that matter is

how good you are at persuading and how

many people are paying attention

so Trump had you know uh

top grades in both

Trump had the best power of persuasion

and then he also had a big platform yeah

Andrew Tate same thing power of

persuasion

big platform

that's what you want

I I have nearly a million followers and

as good as

tatus he's very good at persuasion As

Good As Trump is very good at persuasion

I'm better than both of them

so if I get to a million

probably can run everything

now of course that's an exaggeration but

it's a directionally correct

exaggeration meaning that I would have

influence over some big topics just by

number of followers

yeah

you haven't heard many positive things

about ESG lately have you

how many of you thought I could kill the

ESG by the end of the year when I told

you that I was going to do it

how many how many thought that would

happen

would you agree it happened

would you agree that that was an

accomplished goal

even I don't know

because you don't know what would have

happened you know if he hadn't been here

what would have happened

here's what I think I think that when

Dilbert

mocks it as

it becomes nearly impossible

to be in public and not know that

everybody knows what you talk about is

and it makes it really

uncomfortable to be on the side that

dilber says is

you thought I would need more cartoons

to do it

uh somebody says the groipers love me I

don't know if that's true

ESG was not financially feasible right

but a lot of a lot of things that live

forever are not financially beneficial

so that wasn't enough to kill it by

itself it only mattered that somebody

was making money on it

right as long as BlackRock or somebody

was making money there'd be more of it

so I think I think what's happening is

not just that people realize it's not a

good investment strategy but it's just

mocked into into ridiculous territory

uh groupers are the followers of Nick

Fuentes

somebody asked me what's a griper

um know more about Colorado for no I

don't do the mass shooters

and I think everybody's okay with that

right

you're you're okay with me not doing the

math Shooters now by the way here's

another example

the mass Shooters are

of interest to people and if I wanted to

make more money

I would talk about them

I just don't think it's good for the

world

you know it's good that you know that it

happened and that's it

I want to be aware of it

you know want to be able to give as much

support to the you know the survivors

and families and stuff

but the less we talk about it the better

and I feel like I have to model that

right

so I to be that to me making money on

the back of that

would put me in Alex Jones territory

you know what I mean

if I try to monetize that

knowing that I'd be monetizing it

knowing I would be contributing to

making them more of it by making it more

of top of mind and crazy people don't

need bad ideas top of mind

hey Scott did you hear Kanye was hanging

out with a white supremacist

no I hadn't heard

uh

yeah so here's the question has Trump

lost his Edge

what do you think

it feels like it doesn't it

it feels like it now predictably he

should

because the experience he's been through

plus the normal effect of being the age

that he is he should be losing a step

exactly the way we see Biden losing his

step

like this is exactly the way we saw

Reagan lose a step

right

we shouldn't be surprised if he loses a

step

that's that's just going to happen

uh

Twitter gave him his Edge yeah in a very

real way

Shapiro and Fuentes need to debate no no

no they don't

bad idea bad idea

now Ben Shapiro's reputation is

as solid as it could be you don't want

him to sit in the chair

with somebody who could affect his

reputation that way now even though I'd

love to see him interviewing you know

some real disagreeable people

that wouldn't be good for him

I would recommend against it

but Trump could do it

uh

yeah

will Biden keep Kamala no

uh robocops no they're not really

robocops or the the robots are

controlled by people the San Francisco

police robots

um

I I just had this thought from prior

topic

my understanding is that Iran is

planning to do a public hanging of one

of the protesters

can can you get a fact check on that

what would happen if Iran is ready to

like boil over

and Iran goes ahead with a public

hanging because I think that's the plan

that's what I heard yesterday

public hanging of a protester

do you would that not make the whole

country explode

wouldn't it

I mean imagine if you're a protester and

then you see one of you just hanging

from a rope

and you knew that the regime did that

just to make you see it

that would I think I'd become I would

become dangerous

at that point

at that point there's probably nothing I

wouldn't do to the regime

do you feel the same way

like it's one thing to have the you know

cops trying to stop you from protesting

and blah blah but if you take somebody

from that group and you hang them from a

public scaffold

I'm ready to

do whatever it takes

at that point all of my risk reward

calculation just goes to zero

have you ever had that happen

by the way this this is probably what

makes me the most dangerous not not

things I say on Twitter uh

the thing that makes me most dangerous

which even I'm afraid of

is that

there are moments when um

I lose all fear

of any consequences

now it doesn't happen often but it only

happens in the in the situation where

I've just made a decision

you know as opposed to wanting something

oh I want this protest to go my way

but when I decide

there's this thing that happens that I

could feel in real time I just feel

every every risk or fear just disappear

and I go into this calm

um

executioner mode

where I could do anything

they could actually do anything

so if I had to like murder you know a

member of the regime with my bare hands

yes

I could do it without even worrying

about it

like like that's just what something

that happens but now but to be clear

it's a rare situation I'll tell you one

time it happened

uh some of you heard the story back when

smoking was legal in offices

and I I asked you know could I be moved

to a cubicle that's away from the

smokers and it couldn't be done

and so I staged a protest

and I felt before I did it because I was

obviously going to risk my job that I

was going to take down the whole

company

like I wasn't just gonna

it wasn't going to be about smoking

once I realized that they weren't going

to help me and that my health was at my

health was at risk

such arrogance Scott

yes a little bit once I realized they

weren't going to help me and then they

coincidentally they they set around a

thing where he had to sign a document

that said you understood the workplace

dangers and it listed a bunch of types

of dangers and one of the things that

listed was secondhand smoke

so the company asked me to sign the

document to say I understood that being

near second hand smoke was dangerous at

the same time they were making me agree

that if I saw danger in the workplace it

was my responsibility to stop it

right they made me sign that document at

the same time they said you have to sit

next to the second degree second-hand

smoke

well at that point

what do you think happened

remember that thing I said where all

fear goes away

disappeared

at that point I was going to take down

the little company

which by the way I could have done

I was already hypnotist by then probably

could have done it I would just have to

go to the media and tell the story that

would be damaging to them and I could

have done that

so I was willing to actually throw away

my entire career potential for the rest

of my life

not wisely

it wasn't really the fight I should have

died at you know 22 or whatever it was

25. and I shouldn't that shouldn't have

been the play

but instead I just told my bosses well

I'll stay home until you solve the

workplace Danger

and the first day they thought I was

joking didn't come to work the boss

called in and said really you're really

not coming to work anymore I go I'm not

quitting I'm doing what you asked me to

do which is

to escape from a workplace danger alert

my immediate alert my managers and when

it's when that's rectified I'll come

back to work

and by the third or fourth day that I

didn't go to work well they still paid

me

um it started going up the up the

management ranks

until it got to somebody who said

uh we're going to change the smoking

situation

so they they changed the smoking

situation they moved me I moved me to a

place in the building that didn't have a

smokers which they could have done the

whole time

but here's the thing

when you get to that point where you've

decided

there's no fear

there's no fear once you decide

there's fear when you want

I'd want it to go this way but not so

much that I'm going to do something

about it so I don't know if anybody else

has that experience have you ever been

in an experience

where all of your fear went away and you

could feel it in real time

and you just became almost Godlike

because when you have no fear

do you know how scary you are

have you ever had to had a conflict with

somebody who clearly had no fear about

anything

don't get yourself in that situation

the last thing you want

is to be in a confrontation with

something that has no fear

and I become that person not in any it's

not planned it just happens

because once I've decided

we're done

the decision is the decision it's just

going to happen

thirty percent THC is healthy says the

government what

I haven't heard that

like someone on Beth here

um

how do you think Trump has withstood all

the hoaxes and without quitting

well he has weirdly thick skin

and he's also an optimist so I think

Trump thinks that things will work out

in the long one and they usually do

I should do MMA now because MMA I would

just be wanting to fight

so I'd get killed

but you wouldn't want to get in a fight

with me if I decided to win

there's no way you would survive that

nobody would ever survive that if I

decided

right

um

Adam and kringler is a cloud chaser okay

so I'm seeing somebody some people say

that Ann Coulter is who was behind the

the meeting

with Trump

I don't see any evidence of that

um

you were a tennis player that says it

all well I don't play tennis anymore

um

all right I don't have anything else to

say

Scott I'm hearing cognitive dissonance

about what

yeah insane people have no fear that's

what makes them scary

uh if if Biden gets rid of the black VP

now because the black community doesn't

like

uh

his vice president either so

oh that cloud chasing was to someone

else okay

does yay become the king maker if he

takes down the current King maker

kinda

yeah

um

good morning San Diego

uh huh

give me six and then I could carry your

home state

right Biden and yay

I don't think so

when you have no fear do you still have

the voice that you had yes

yes I do

I still hear the voice in my head

but the voice of my head has just made a

decision and then I'm then I'm just it's

mechanical after that it's like I'm a

robot

um

vax mandates were upheld by the ninth

circuit

yes I hear a voice in my head so we

talked about that yesterday I guess 30

of the country hears a voice in their

head continuously I'm one of them

I hear myself

thinking in full sentences

as if I'm listening

and that's how I arranged my thoughts

have you ever noticed that if you ask

some people a question about let's say a

topic that they've thought about some

people have like an instant answer

I'm one of those people you could ask me

almost anything

that's been in the news even before I

was doing this publicly and I would have

an instant answer for you

because I've already thought of it in

terms of the words I would describe it

to someone else that's how I think I

think in terms of how I would describe

it to someone else

do you do that

uh all of my mental conversation is me

describing what I think is true to an

invisible listener

and then if I can describe it well to

the imaginary person then it's a thought

I keep

and if I try to explain it to somebody

but I can't then I discard it

so the voice is just my filter for

deciding what is reasonable if you can't

put it in a sentence that makes sense

then it probably wasn't reasonable

hahaha

in the old days they thought it was uh

demons

[Music]

you don't do that

is that

you realize that that's also the same

technique

for why you do a business case

for something that you know you wanted

to do so I used to be my job in

Corporate America for a while if we if

the boss wanted to do something let's

say invest in some kind of new

technology then it would be my job to do

the numbers

and and make sure it made sense

uh

so I've got a big background in that

but one of the things you learned is

that even if you're pretty sure

something makes sense but then you try

to write it down

and explain it to somebody you realize

you can't do it

like you read the words you're like why

is it that it makes sense to me

but I can't write it down in a way to

explain it to somebody else in a way

that makes sense and the answer is it

doesn't make sense

that's how you learn that your thought

process is irrational when you try to

explain it to the imaginary person then

you can't do it

Craig says his internal voice speaks

Esperanto

so annoying

I know

sometimes my internal voice is just

signing but it's one of those frauds

there's nothing funnier than the people

who are fraudulent sign language people

there have been a few of them you've

seen them right the videos I don't know

how how it happened but somebody somehow

got the job and the politician will be

talking and they'll be like

and you're looking at them you're like

no I haven't seen any of that signing

before I'm no expert but

it doesn't look like signing to me

somebody on on local says you want a hot

Android companion more than you want

anything else

yeah ditto

I'm with you on that

I think I would be completely happy

being an 80 year old guy living with an

Android

because someday I'll probably be an 80

year old guy

who has to live somehow

I think I think that

an Android companion

would be 100 acceptable to me

and I would enjoy having conversations

with it

so long as the hot Android could clean

itself after you finish

that was an actual comment on locals

yeah you definitely want the

self-cleaning

sex robot

like if there's one thing

yeah got to be self-cleaning

all right we've gone too far all right

we've gone too far so we're gonna uh

we're gonna say goodbye to the YouTube

people I'll talk to locals a little bit

more and bye for now tomorrow will be

much better news
