why I'm going to make the locals platform private right now because I'll tell them some secret stuff later well well well um how would you like to take today's amazing moment that you're about to experience elevate it to the best thing that's ever happened to anybody everywhere in the entire history of civilization well you'd like that and all you need is a cup of mug or a glass a tanker cellos or Stein a canteen Joker flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine the other day the thing that makes everything better everything it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now go and a special welcome to any club Birds who still don't know they were the victims of a hoax a double hoax you got hooks by once by 4chan and Reddit and then once by me you got double host you're the most hoaxed group in America double hoaxed good for you um here's a trivia question for you during the time when slavery was legal in America named two presidents who did not own slaves did not own slaves while it was still legal so prior to Abraham Lincoln both of them were named Adams right John Adams and John Quincy Adams the two presidents who did not own slaves back when it was legal in fact John Adams famously defended a Slave as his free attorney yes so my cousins have always been on the side of the right um now there's a video of me that's going around in which I said in no uncertain terms uh that based on opinion polls um Rasmussen uh about half of black Americans don't think it's cool to be white it's just not okay to be white so since I've designated that to be a hate group black Americans a hate group collectively not every individual obviously anything I say about a group you're all smart enough to know that doesn't apply to all individuals right you know that right if I say that most of the presidents until Obama or all of my guests were white that doesn't mean I was the president you get that right you can talk about groups and it doesn't mean anything about any individual so if I say that black Americans are a hate group does that mean I don't like my neighbor who is black and a doctor oh he's great I love that guy that has nothing to do with individuals I've made no comment about individuals I love black individuals right so and all kinds of individuals so as an individual I'm always going to you know treat you as an individual whether I want to date you have sex with you hire you work with you talk to you it's always going to be who the individual is I've never had any I don't think I've ever had any negative interactions with any black American in my life or any black you know any nationality but it is nonetheless true that white people trying to help Black America for decades and decades has completely failed I wish you just stopped doing it because all we got all we got is called racists basically there was no payoff I I think what finally pushed me over the edge was finding out that the school systems in our you know a lot of our you know inner cities they're graduating zero people who could read and do math zero and you know as I've said before the only strategy that works for any group in America is focusing on education if that's not your top Focus I don't want to help you let me say that as clearly as possible if if education is not your primary focus now I get that it's hard to do but if it's not your primary focus I don't want to have anything to do with you helping you improve helping you succeed reparations nothing I don't even want to have a conversation like who who was the who is the most notable black leader pushing education as a way to improve the life of black Americans who is that person somebody said Ben Carson maybe yeah probably probably somebody said Bill Bill Cosby okay I hate the fact that that's true I hate the fact that that's true I think it's true that Bill Cosby was big on education wasn't he yeah Tim Scott good but you know you're also you're mentioning politicians who are more famous just for being you know generally politicians but but who's the who's the black leader who just is known as the education person now you're mentioning a lot of people like Thomas Soule who is excellent um Ben Carson Obama yeah they all say it but it's not really a focus is it if you tell me that any of them are famous as making it their focus I would say maybe famous to a very small number of people but there's nobody who's really you know the brand for that yeah Larry Elder I mean I'm sure every every black leader has talked about education but it's not really talked about like a focus is it how much did we talk about um George Floyd versus education I'm just not even close right so anybody who doesn't focus on education I I don't want to help them amount completely out but just just to be completely clear has nothing to do with individuals right I love individuals of all types I always have that that's not changing it's just if we're going to treat groups as groups uh I'm going to say well here let me say this the LGBT group if it's sort of weird to throw such different people in the same group but LGBT people in America huge success am I right have you ever said to yourself I don't want to go into that gay neighborhood because of all the of all the crime and littering you've never heard that you've never heard that nope not at all so you know you can talk about groups and say some things that maybe you're a little bit useful but you know doesn't have anything to do with individuals all right have you been to Atlanta all right so uh you and you know how the world works because I said something provocative that literally everyone agrees with which is if you're white don't live in a black neighborhood it's too dangerous and half of the people there will think it's not okay to be white according to the recent poll that would be crazy so here predictably a white a white man comes after me on Twitter and says oh you're telling me I should get away from my black family members does that sound like something I would say that you should get away from your black family members I'm assuming in-laws I don't know that's stupid that's stupid and then I asked him do you live in the mostly black neighborhood I didn't wait for the answer because I don't have to because the people who are going to come after me all agree with me there's not a single one of those white people who are going to be you know what do you call it signaling socially signaling they're going to come after me to socially signal but they don't live in black neighborhoods they're taking my advice that's all I'm saying am I saying that you know this one individual's probably a sister-in-law or something like that am I saying that his sister-in-law sister-in-law sucks because she's black no no I don't even know your sister-in-law don't even know her of course not I'll even go further I'm not sure that black women are even part of the question because you know I don't see a a ton of danger from black women I mean you see videos of them fighting and stuff usually it's women fighting with other women most of the time but and it's not it's not old black people it's not senior citizens it's not it's not toddlers so it's not even about Black Americans it's about youngish black males for whatever reason and I'm no longer interested in finding out it's a dangerous situation you should just stay away but if any individual young black man comes to it asks for a job should be fully considered with no bias if you can manage it so yeah don't don't discriminate against the individuals don't do that by helping as a group would be ridiculous at this point did you see the video of Biden falling up the stairs of Air Force One he was going up the stairs and suddenly he goes down to all fours but fairly quickly he got back up now I believe that's been misinterpreted because what I saw was it looked like he was starting to change into a werewolf you know how that works right you'll be walking along and all of a sudden and you get onto all fours but then I think he caught himself because he realized he wasn't at the entrance to the plane yet he's like oh and then once he gets back on the jetty back into werewolf mode I mean that's just a guess I wouldn't put any money on it but that's just my interpretation I don't know like that's just what I saw all right um Rasmussen did some polling about uh Nikki Haley see how she would do in the presidential race if she ran against Biden and also how she would do in primaries interestingly she would beat Biden and I had to how about that uh so interestingly I think I lost the signal here for a moment but according to erasmussen polls uh in a three-way contest for the GOP nomination between Trump Haley and De.

Santis now it won't be a three-way probably but yeah it might be toward the end as possible um let's see uh 52 percent of Republicans would choose Trump if it were a three-way between De.

Santis and Nikki hilley and when I say a three-way I will allow you to think naughty thoughts that's not what I intend but once I said it I realized okay that's what you're thinking so you're allowed you may think naughty sexual thoughts when I say three-way competition go ahead do it you know you want to uh anyway so yeah Trump would give 52 percent in the primary 28 would say Haley and 24 would say De.

Santis did you see that coming now that I assume that's because the Trump votes and the De.

Santis votes are a little bit fungible like those are the ones that can go either way more easily whereas the Nikki Haley votes are probably an anti-trump vote does that make sense so under that Dynamic you can see how Haley would be slightly more than De.

Santis if it were a three-way it doesn't mean it would be that if it were a two-way if it were a two-way between uh Nikki Haley and De.

Santis I think the Trump votes would go mostly to De.

Santis I think I think it would be two to one probably two to one De.

Santis but I don't know because I was actually surprised by this result and it's also super early you know you can't make too much of the polls at this point all right but more interestingly if Nikki Haley went up against Joe Biden had to Ed in a hypothetical matchup um according to Rasmussen uh 45 percent of likely U.S voters would vote for Haley and 41 for Biden what do you think of that does that sound legitimate because I wonder if Nikki Haley would pick up some of the uh you know the person of color or woman vote just automatically because that's how it works right no matter what you are you sort of pick up that group at least some of them automatically and we we don't we don't typically have Republicans running for office who can sort of automatically get any Democrat votes just by being who they are it doesn't work that way so it would be interesting to have a a person of color uh running as a republican speaking of which we'll talk about uh um ramaswamy in a bit all right I could not be more amused or interested and the latest Joe Rogan uh conversation with Eric Weinstein how many of you saw that talking about UFOs that was one of the most interesting conversations it was super interesting well I'll give you I'll give you the part that I loved so according to Eric there is some governmental group top secret governmental group who has as long ago as three years ago I believe started offering to Eric and also to Sam Harris that they could personally be taken to a secret government facility to see what Eric supposes might be something in the UFO domain but you know that the the actual topic of what the government wants to show them is not disclosed so there's there's an assumption happening here that it's about aliens but I think that's just short of being confirmed now here's the funny part apparently there have been a number of back and forths in which the offer was made hey we'll take you to see this top secret stuff and then it would fall apart and then they'd come back oh we mean it this time we're really going to show you this stuff and then they say yes and they'd be planning to do it and then something would change and they'd delay it for three years so they've never seen anything but for three years I've been teased now here's the funny part Sam Harris bow down after the third one so after the third time they said they were going to do it they changed their minds or they delayed Sam Harris said I think he just called BS on it yeah now uh Eric is still interested and I don't know it would be hard not to be interested because if they ever come through and actually show them something it'd be interesting but here's my question to you just on the surface you don't know anything about the situation except what I tell you and here's what I'm going to tell you of all the people on the planet Earth that the top secret organization wanted to show their UFOs they chose Sam Harris in the Eric Weinstein can you explain that how is that not funny just on his surface just and by the way I'm not making fun of the two individuals the two individuals I like a lot right I like Sam Harris I like Brett Weinstein even if I don't agree with them on different things they're vote they're both very serious you know American patriotic uh you know good citizens they're good people very smart meanwhile yeah I have only positive thoughts about both of them but I think it's hilarious that the two of them entertained the concept that they would be allowed the secret Peak at the UFOs well let me tell you this do you know how a prank like the best prank is organized do you know how to do that let me tell you I think I've explained this before the best kind of prank is the one that wouldn't be believed by anybody except the subject of the prank the target so let me give you an example let's say you had a friend who believed he or she to be quite beautiful but the rest of you not so much you were thinking well maybe you think you're beautiful and it's good that you have a good high opinion of yourself but maybe not now if there were a person in your life like that who believed they were beautiful but objectively didn't seem like it a prank on that person would be um a model agency is calling you because although you do not have standard Beauty you have exactly the kind of beauty that's in Vogue and we want to make a major a major magazine you know pictorial love you now what would make this a funny prank is that nobody in the world would believe it's true except the one who got pranked they're the only one who thinks that's plausible now take this back to Sam Harris and Brad Weinstein uh and by the way this prank would have worked on me so easily right I'm glad I'm glad it didn't happen to me but imagine coming to me it's the same problem right it's an ego problem imagine coming to me some government agency and they say Scott you're the only person in the country we trust to show you our UFOs and I'd say why why would I be that person and they'd say well we've been listening to you on social media and you say such smart and unbiased things that we think you're the best Messenger to tell the world about it what would I do in that situation if that were a prank what would I do oh I would fall for that so hard I I would fall through the floor for that prank why because it's right on the nose of what I would want to believe right yes sir it's sort of like it makes me look good so of course I want to believe it well that makes perfect sense of all the people in the United States they've been watching me on Twitter yes yes that that's got to be it and and all of my wise tweets have have finally put me in a position where I alone can see the secrets of the UFOs when do I buy my plane ticket when do I buy my plane ticket I want to go now now if it turns out that we have captured alien spaceships or dead aliens or Betty at alive in cages and it turns out their Erica sees them and take some pictures and tells the world about them then I'm wrong about everything however this has all the Hallmarks of a very good prank I don't know I don't know but if I had to if I had to choose between we have a UFO in custody and the two people that the government wanted to see at first were Sam and Eric I think I'm going to go with prank as being a little bit more likely there is however one other possibility and I can't tell you the details but I will tell you that years ago a person in a sensitive government um Department I guess you call it oh I'll be vague I'll call it a department in the area of the government uh asked if I wanted to have a preview of the government's most secret knowledge about a topic that I won't mention all right so I won't mention the topic but I was I was asked if I wanted to see the the biggest secrets of the government the things that you would love to know trust me you would love to know and it was all because I did say yes and I did go look and it was all in my opinion now that the person who was in charge of it did not think it was the person in charge believed that they had found something of value and I listened to it and I listened to the evidence and I said to myself so the other possibility is that it's not a prank on Sam Harris and Brett Weinstein it's possible that the government has something and they don't know what it is like it could be like a you know a piece of metal that they can't identify and and that in their minds they've built it up to be more than it is which is just something they can't identify so my guess is they keep thinking they have a UFO and then they're going to show some people but the more they think about it maybe they just have a piece of metal that they can't identify right it might it might be just something like that where they think they have something but they don't so again we're just speculating can't read minds but I'll tell you what I would not bet on I would not bet on we have any captured UFOs and the government wanted Sam Harris and Brett Weinstein to see it first that feels unlikely do you know why that's unlikely because obviously they would have asked me to see it first am I right all right that was sarcasm all right um I love that story that's so good speaking Sam Harris he uh he he's getting a lot of trouble by saying something that I say so of course I'm going to defend him on this because he says exactly what I say and he's getting all kinds of Internet trouble so he's even he's even trending Sam Harris is on Twitter today and he quit Twitter so so one way to trend on Twitter is to quit Twitter so here's what he said this is a well I think he said this it's it's it's a quote I didn't see it on video but it sounds like he would have said it so I believe it's true uh so here's a quote from Sam Harris during the pandemic we witnessed the birth of a new religion of contrarianism and conspiracy thinking the first sacrament of which is to quote do your own research does that sound familiar it goes on the problem is that very few people are qualified to do this research and the result is a society driven by strongly held unfounded opinions on everything from vaccine safety to the war in Ukraine agree or disagree that's not word salad you kidding you're in cognitive dissonance if it sounds like word salad this is completely clear this is very clear all right here's why I agree with him he did not exclude himself from the category of people who can't do their own research and get a good answer right he did not say this is a skill I have but you don't have it now if he had then we'd have something to quibble with but if you say none of us have that you know except very rarely somebody in the field then then I'm on board with that completely yeah no nobody has that skill and even the most uh the most qualified people in the field often don't have it we see this all the time yeah so does that sound like I might have influenced that opinion I'm just asking because you know I've been saying exactly this for like three years I've said it out loud a bunch of times yeah it's common sense so that would be the argument that I did not influence it but the wording of it feels a little Scottish so to speak all right um I'm going to try to introduce a new uh phrase to politics I'm going to call them uh political gooners have you ever heard that phrase a gooner it comes from another context uh all right I want to see if anybody knows what it is before I explain it those of you who know what it is you're revealing too much about yourselves all right let me tell you in the uh in the naughty world of adult entertainment when usually a man is so interested in his own self-pleasure that he takes on sort of a zombie appearance I would give you an impression but it would be the biggest meme that ever that you ever saw so I can't give you an impression but imagine a zombie face well the one of the hands is is busy and you know what a gooder is like oh you know that sort of thing so but I feel like there's a political gooner class and that's the people who believe hoaxes they're obviously not true before you research them now I agree with Sam Harrison nobody's good at research even if they think they are they're not uh but sometimes you don't need to research things to know it's true am I right let me give you an example um if you heard a story on social media that said that Joe Biden was an actual cannibal and we're just finding out and that he eats children every night for dinner like actual living children kills him and eats them would you need to research that that's a serious question would you need to research that no no you don't need to research that who would believe that only a political guter somebody who is so busy masturbating to their own team that they could no longer think in any coherent way right now let me give you an example that's almost like that the gooners actually believe they believe that the president of the United States wants premeditatedly and with full intention got in front of the country and said that neo-nazis are fine people did you have to research that did he have to go and really look at the transcript I mean I did but not because I needed to know is because I was trying to unprogram the gooners but the gooners can't hear it because you know their hand is going furiously and the brain is just turned off uh my team my team okay I'm gonna give you the meme I'm sorry I have to give you the meme it goes like this oh my team my team my team my team okay there's Your Meme have fun with it have fun with it I I release it to the universe all right so how about if you heard that a president suggested drinking bleach as a solution to covet did you need to research that no you didn't you did not need to research that you should not have had to research that that was clearly and obviously something that didn't happen and if you say oh but Scott maybe it wasn't bleach but it was a liquid disinfectant no no you don't have to research whether he thought Listerine was okay no you don't you don't have to research that the only people who would be confused by that would be those people You couldn't possibly see this you know on the surface and believe that you have to look into it you don't you don't have to look into it all right political guters um I also love the fact that the people who believe all the Trump hoaxes they start with the assumption that they're smarter than Trump and yet they fall for every hoax it's a weird assumption if you start with the Assumption you're smarter than him then anything he says that isn't what you say you say oh well it must be racist who thinks you should drink bleach or something no no but if you start with the assumption that he's an intelligent person who might who might in some cases know more than you do we've seen examples of that if you start with that assumption The hoax just disappears you have to assume that Trump has an IQ of 70.

and somehow became president of the United States anyway and apparently that's a real belief I've actually talked to intelligent successful people who believes that Trump has such a low IQ that he only became president by accident just you know a weird conflation of events that's a real opinion how do you have that opinion there's only one way you're a political gooner for your team all right this is funny speaking of doing your own research you're all aware that Brett Stephen Stephens Stevens Brett Stephens from The New York Times did a big article in which he talked about the new study of studies that said that masks don't work you all saw that right so it was a big study of other studies and a paper about other studies wasn't exactly a Meta Meta study but it was a sort of a review of all the science and the the conclusion was Master work well eichenwald also uh at least an ex New York's times writer says in his tweet the New York Times has published an absolutely Reckless and wrong New York Times opinion piece by Brett stefans about a scientific paper he clearly did not read he allows one of the authors to state in the article quote Mass don't work for covet 19.

the paper says no such thing in fact uh you know so he goes on to say that the paper is pure garbage and uh Etc now do you believe that the New York Times article from stefans that looked at all the science about masks and found no evidence that they help do you think do you find that reliable because you did your own research do you know that a lot of the studies were done before covid did you know that they were pre-covered it wasn't even tested covet did you know a lot of the studies were about whether you could contract it versus whether you're gonna you know Breathe It Out yeah yeah we are private basically the research was garbage but the research that says Mass don't work is garbage but so is the research that says they work so do your own research you can find anything you want you can find that they work which I've done by the way I've done my own research and I found huge you know very reliable evidence that mass work I've also done my research and found that they don't you can find both you can you can totally find both how can I tell the difference the only thing I would say for sure is that science has not demonstrated that they work with any data that seems useful if science at this point especially at this point if they can't prove they work well then the question of using them is just easy right it's already a meme yeah it's just easy anyway so I think we're all against masks but this is just a emphasis for Sam Harris's opinion that doing your own research is absolutely useless it's completely useless in fact there are three things that don't work follow the science would you agree following the science didn't work did it I don't think it works for anything anymore how about do your own research well people who did their own research had different answers we know that doesn't work how about listen to The Experts is that working listen to The Experts no no so these are three things we all thought used to work follow the science listen to The Experts but also do your own research just you know for a double check none of those have any evidentiary value at all none let me tell you how to know what's true it's the only way can you engineer a product out of it that's it engineering is the only way you know if something's true it'll take a moment for that to settle in just think about engineering is the only way you know if something's true science doesn't give you that because science is always you know even when it's a fact it's still subject to revision but if you're an engineer and you say okay you claim you claim I can make a satellite right your scientific claim is if I use this science I can make a satellite and I can communicate with Earth and maybe do GPS well let's find out so I'm going to build a satellite I'm going to put it in in the sky and see if it tells me where I am oh that works it's true that's truth the the app is telling me from the satellite that I'm approximately in this room that's truth everything else is tentative everything else is just a maybe so I think this is where we've been fooled forever science is not where you go to find out what's true engineering is engineering tells you what's true let's take you to Medicine science says this pill will work do you know how you know you got to make the pill the only way you know is you you put it out there and see what happens that's engineering I mean it's medical engineering in this case chemistry but I'd call it engineering right uh not only Engineers that is a fellow no I don't mean that only an engineer can determine what's true I'm saying that your way to know if something is true is if somebody can make a product out of it and it works the way it's supposed to now even that isn't 100 percent because you could engineer something that works for the wrong reason for example we talked about this before um if you believe that the wing of your airplane had to have a Bernoulli effect in order to get lift and you built that plane it would fly years later you'd find out that the Bernoulli effect had nothing to do with it so you can test something and engineer it and find out it works but then you have to fly the plane upside down to find out what was true if you fly the plane upside down which you can do and the flies that you know the Bernoulli effect wasn't at least wasn't necessary it might have helped but it wasn't necessary all right let's talk about this Georgia grand jury because the walls are closing in on Trump and this time well this time they got him let me tell you all those other times no no those were just uh that was just play but this time this time they got him and do you know what he did he used the word find for votes yeah just to find this many votes as Alan dershowitz explains last night on I think Hannity as Alan dershowitz explains the word find implies they already exist had he used the word invent or possibly concoct or possibly lie or possibly pretend or possibly cheat or possibly do something illegal then I would say he committed a crime but if you ask somebody to find something that you honestly believe might be there either through a recount or potentially there's a barrel of ballots that didn't get counted somewhere you don't go to jail for that you don't go to jail because you use the word find and other people thought you meant cheat you don't go to jail for what other people thought you meant that's not a crime it doesn't matter how many people think you meant something it still matters what you said it doesn't matter what they what they think you meant nobody goes to jail for that nobody the odds of trump going to jail for that and now I heard that the Georgia or Atlanta whoever it is the prosecutor wants to use Rico because there were a whole bunch of people talking about you know what to do to uh have the election changed basically is it illegal for a bunch of people to talk about uh how to get a political outcome it's not illegal unless you break the law now that there is there is a troubling element to this which is the the so-called fake electors but even the fake electors were operating under a legal Theory am I wrong about that I believe there were lawyers who said and they were minority lawyers in the sense that other people disagreed but I believe there were a few lawyers who said yeah I think we could do this and it would you know maybe pass constitutional muster I don't think anybody thought it was like uh an insurrection I think they thought they were trying to get the right result so you'd have to find somebody who admits that they knew they lost and they did it anyway if you can't find anybody in this whole Ricoh conspiracy who didn't honestly believe that Trump won there's nothing am I wrong wouldn't you need at least one person in this conspiracy to say yeah we knew it wasn't real but we're you know trying to steal the election anyway have you heard of one person even one because usually you have whistled lowers by now but as even one person said you know you know we really didn't believe he won we were just sort of acting like it now the the RICO thing is so ridiculous and the find thing is so ridiculous and once again who believes who believes that Trump broke the law it's obvious it's been demonstrated it's part of the public record and he's going down uh should I give you an impression of the people who believe that how could you believe that I mean seriously how could you believe that he's a he's in legal trouble over this here's another one uh CNN is still talking about how the uh the Dominion lawsuit surfaced all these internal Fox memos um oh I'm not done I'm sorry I'm not done talking about the grand jury I forgot the best part um so apparently this grand jury only recommends to another grand jury I didn't know that was a thing am I getting that right that the grand jury is only making a recommendation to another grand jury and that other grand jury would have to indict is that right two grand juries for one case oh there's an investigative grand jury and then a regular one the indictment grand jury I guess I didn't know how that that worked which is good because it means I haven't been that much legal Jeopardy so so here's what I think we saw the four person who apparently identifies as a witch now as I said on Twitter if I were writing the simulation you know this this thing you think is your reality but it couldn't possibly be real it's just too weird if I were writing it and I saw that there was a Witch Hunt to get Trump who would I make the foreperson of that effort to get Trump The Witch Hunt I'd make it an actual witch or at least somebody who identifies with witchcraft yeah an actual witch and then I would have that actual witch go on every TV show and and and talk about the things that you're not supposed to talk about unless you're a witch I guess I suppose if you're a witch they expect that and then and then laugh and be really really happy act really really happy that you might send uh Trump to jail I've never seen Trump in less legal Jeopardy than he is right now at this moment in time Trump is in the least legal Jeopardy of his entire presidency and maybe his whole life I mean he's been so thoroughly researched all they could find was a witch to claim that the word find means something different than than English that was their case so but maybe there's something with the fake electors that they can pin on Trump but I'd be surprised all right um I I feel like I just have to stop explaining all the hoaxes because they're so obvious at this point here's how CNN says it uh CNN in one of their pieces online said uh that the grand jury investigated former president Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election is that the right way to cut to characterize what happened would you have said that Trump was attempting to overturn the 2020 election sort of like you could imagine that's like technically accurate but it's also fake news if you don't mention the fact that he and half of the country believe the that the election was not legitimate what would you how would you describe trying to correct an illegitimate election now I'm not saying it was illegitimate I'm saying that's what the people seem to have believed I wouldn't call it trying to overturn an election I would call it trying to get a recap I would call it trying to audit it I would try it I would call it trying to make sure we got the right answer but but they're sort of Assuming he's guilty you know they've sort of characterized him as well they have characterized his intentions they've characterized his internal intentions that have never been spoken in this way if his internal attention was simply to get the right answer which would make him happy of course uh let's not try to reverse the election that's trying to get the election right CNN is so weasily anyway uh let's talk about uh Vivek ramaswamy so he tweeted uh this today he said all call president obrador president of Mexico on day one with the message we'll arm you to decimate the drug cartels pumping fentanyl across our border the cartels may be your sugar daddy now but there's a new daddy in town if you don't do it we'll do it for you your choice America 2.0 now I love the energy of that I love the energy like the vibe I like the toughness I like their priorities I like I'm even going I'm now accepting decimate as annihilate I was corrected that apparently common use has already elevated decimate to be equivalent to annihilate I thought that was sort of in the process but it looks like dictionary.com calls them the same anyway um let's see so here's my problem with this Americans believe that the president of Mexico is owned by the cartels do you agree how many of you would say that's a true statement that the government of Mexico is essentially owned by the cartels now whether that's true or not that's what we believe I'm sure it's true but even if it's not this doesn't work because how can Americans get behind arming the cartels because that's what it sounds like to me it sounds like arming Isis because you've got some short-term gains but in the long run arming Isis probably a bad idea probably a bad idea so here's how I would um modify this I wouldn't even talk to the president of Mexico except to tell them what we're doing now we might need to sort of pretend there's a government in Mexico before we do what we need to do so you know maybe he's right with his Instinct they they have to at least give the government a try but I wouldn't give them weapons that sounds like the wrong play um so I don't know maybe maybe he'll uh adjust that messaging a little bit I I would prefer uh to negotiate with the cartels directly and the way I would do it is I would uh I would publish a drone picture every day of a cartel facility now it could be a home owned by somebody who's known to be cartel so just here's the facility and then you say this will disappear tomorrow because the missile is going to drop on it so then you give a chance for all the innocent people to say what I'm in this house I work in this house there's a missile going to drop on it and then you run out the door and you're safe and then we should just continue and never stop every day here's a new picture that's that's a cartel asset in 24 hours it's going to disappear now of course if they had drugs and money in there they would grab it all and they would leave with their junks and money that's okay that's okay blow it up anyway now you'll still try to you know catch them with their money and their drugs and kill them too but just make it a daily occurrence here's the photo here's the the crater the next day here's the new photo do whatever you want all right go nuts you can do anything you want but this is disappearing this won't be here tomorrow and you just make it non-optional non-negotiable this stuff's just going to start disappearing I know maybe or Annex Mexico I would be in favor of that as well yes literally in case you wonder if I'm kidding yes I'm literally in favor of annexing Mexico literally in favor of annexing Mexico yep absolutely yeah not kidding not hedging absolutely in favor of annexing Mexico now if they can stop the drug flow and the immigration flow that no reason to but at the moment there there are more let me in the United States and we should just own it now we could give it back you know maybe you fix it and give it back that'd be cool yeah that would be good I'd love that imagine that we take it over put in some kind of a Effective Government if we can we can't do it in America but let's say we can do it there and then turn it back you know if you get rid of the corruption I don't know if you could anyway so I do like that uh that the candidates are going to compete on Fentanyl and so I like Vivek ramaswamy on that topic now I saw you prompting me in the comments there is apparently he has some history that he was asked to join the world economic forum a number of times when he was successful young entrepreneur and even his name was on the list at one point but he says he flatly turned them down and then there's a story I saw today that when he was a young student he got some kind of funding from a Soros Organization for uh uh not a scholarship but something like a scholarship some kind of money now do any of those things bother you yeah he went to Yale law on it wasn't a scholarship it was a what was it what's the word that sounds like scholarship but isn't I forget what the word is but I don't really care about that a grant Fellowship maybe it was a fellowship or something like that yeah I don't care about that you know if if a student wants to take money for an education they could take her from Satan I don't care I don't care at all um you know if he then became a you know Soros puppet I'd be worried but if all he did is get some funding from a grant that could have gone to any young smart person take take the money no problem so there will be lots of uh stuff coming out about his background you should believe maybe 40 of the tops all right so CNN is giving major coverage to the Ohio chemical spill this is different right isn't it uh this is a change I thought Fox was sort of covering it almost by themselves but maybe you know the fact that Trump visited makes it impossible not to cover it so now it's part of a political horse race not just the story about one town that CNN probably wouldn't care about but now it's political so Trump very wisely visited not only because it's a you know base of support for him but also because uh Biden was in Ukraine and Buddha judge is delaying for reasons that aren't clear so it was a brilliant political move would you agree brilliant political move and would you also agree that every time Trump is doing something like that he's winning but when he's just you know griping at De.

Santis and stuff he doesn't seem much like a leader when he does that now he was hilarious in one of his uh truths that made it over to Twitter today in which he was mocking somebody I forget but what he's just mocking somebody he's so funny I mean just the words he chooses are just freaking hilarious all the time so anyway um so Mike dewine the governor of Ohio said he would stay in East Palestine overnight until the toxic train derailment cleanup is done what do you think of that so the governor went there and drank the water in front of people and now he's going to sleep there until it's done now that's some good governing that's some good governing now maybe he should have acted sooner or differently or something but this part this part is strong it's it's maybe one of the strongest leadership moves I can remember because this is well you say it's symbolic but I think it's more than that it looks like he's leading from the front people like that they like it from their leaders you know I don't even know if dewine is Republican or Democrat what is he this dwaran Republican or Democrat he's a Republican like I didn't even know that but there's a Republican yeah well judge it for yourself all right um it's really tough to keep a narrative going if you're CNN show their coverage of the uh what is going to be brutal blizzards including la so I think this week or today Los Angeles is supposed to have a snowstorm so so the articles on the home page of CNN or you know LA to get blizzard freezing freezing everywhere it's freezing there's snow everywhere and then they had to add like the fourth one down was it's never been this warm in February uh here's why that's not a good thing that's the actual title after all the blizzards and hurricanes and record cold there's never been this warm in February that's why that here's why that's not a good thing foreign now I'm not going to say that weather is climate I get it I get it it could be really cold one day and really warm another day and that's not really telling you anything right you'd have to look at the average everywhere over time to know anything so I'm not I'm not saying weather is climate but it's hilarious how CNN has to maintain their narrative they didn't say anything that was wrong as far as I know I mean February might be the warmest it's been very warm where I am I think this is my warmest February so I agree with them you know at least anecdotally but it's just so hard because they can't just say it's really cold you tried to cover the news you're like well it's really cold I'm going to write it's really cold before you write it's really cold we better we better frame this in the narrative and then you say it's the weather report it's just cold today I know I know I know it's just the weather but we'd better make sure this is in the narrative so they did all right CNN continues to claim the fox Executives privately knew that the election was fair but they were allowing their uh on-air people to act as though it was not or at least act as though there was great questions and then I think to myself wow if that's true that's pretty damning and then I say to myself I can't wait to see the quote or the text that demonstrates this claim still waiting as far as I can tell this is just made up am I wrong it looks totally made up I don't believe there's any evidence that the fox Executives knew what the election was because it was unknowable do you knew it was fair and then decided oh we know we know it was good but we're still going to run programming this as it isn't that's that that's what uh the CNN is indicating but there's no evidence of that there's simply evidence that people disagreed is that a crime is it a crime that some of the people have had Fox thought the election was good enough you know fair enough and some thought it wasn't why why is that a crime all they showed is that they don't they're they're not operating in lockstep they showed that there was and here's the part I like best they're criticizing Tucker Carlson for having said that their viewers are good people and they should respect their preferences for what they'd like to see covered in the news is CNN's mocking that like you know we caught you caught them what respecting Their audience behind closed doors behind closed doors Tucker said he respects his audience and wants to give them what what they quite reasonably want to see because Tucker does not think it's unreasonable that people have questions about this election neither do I I believe that nothing's been demonstrated to show it was illegal I believe that I was surprised and I certainly wanted to see more transparency and all that but I'm completely on board with people who had enough questions that they think is still a news story I agree with that completely if even if there's no evidence of anything that went wrong with the voting the fact that a huge portion of the public believes it that does make a news that is news and respecting your audience and and giving them the the news coverage that they most want because it's most important you know if the election had been you know thrown and let's say in the illegal way I think it was rigged in a legal way rigged in the sense that the rule changes because the pandemic were favorable to the Democrats but it was legal right I just have to give a you know a hand to the Democrats and say good work you know if the Republicans could have done something that clever and that effective and also completely legal I think I would applaud them too because you know those are the rules if you follow the rules and you win you won you know it looks rigged but legally if it's legally that's something else all right so uh keep watching the critics of Fox News and demand that they give you an example to represent their opinion because there aren't any they don't have any examples to represent their opinion that Fox News was lying to their customers none at least that I've seen that I've seen CNN talking about Ukraine is now seemingly I don't know I'd call it confirmed but they're reporting that even the head of the Wagner group it says they don't have enough ammunition and it doesn't look like it's going to get fixed now do I need to give you my Universal disclaimer Universal disclaimer any information that you hear about Ukraine is unreliable even if the news guarantees you that they have no ammunition left they might have more ammunition than anybody's ever had in the history of War it's possible it's possible yeah you can't believe any report on Ukraine but I've been following an account for a while that a knowledgeable you know military veteran who knows a lot about a lot of stuff who's going through all the circumstantial evidence that suggests that they're running out of barrels for the artillery because they wear out pretty quickly you just shoot them I don't know for a few days and you got to take the barrel off you can't you can't repair it um you can't repair it in the field it would have to be replaced by a factory Precision barrel and the suggestion is that even though Russia is trying to get ammo from all kinds of different places if you look at the whole picture of everything they're doing and then you listen to the head of the Wagner group say it directly it looks like the round of ammunitions like actually they're out of ammunition like actually the war could end because they're out of ammunition now I'm not going to say that that's true yet remember it's Ukraine and it's Russia and nothing's believable but all of all of the signs are pointing in the right direction they're all pointing that direction and we'll know I think we'll know pretty soon we'll probably know by June I think now Joe says wrong in capital letters now Joe did you need to tell me that one word wrong in capital letters is it because you believe that I think that I believe the news coming out of Ukraine is there anything I can say that would convince you I don't believe everything coming out of Ukraine is there any way I could convince you that's true so that you would stop making comments like that you don't need to disagree about the quality of the information you really don't we all get it we all get it however for fun I'm going to make a prediction I believe they're out of ammo I could be wrong and it wouldn't be that you know I wouldn't even be surprised wouldn't even be surprised but remember that uh Russia is worse at everything than you think is that fair so far Russia is way worse at everything you think they should be able to do Am I Wrong everything literally everything do you think that they're manufacturing capacity is better than you think if it's like every other thing is way worse than you imagine so I don't think that they can make enough ammo and I don't think the ammo that they're getting is high enough quality not to blow up in the gun and I don't think that they can get I don't think that they have a good pipeline of new barrels coming into the front line to replace the barrels that are wearing out I think it's over I think it's over I think I think at this point there's no way Russia can win on the battlefield uh let me acknowledge all the people who are disagreeing in the comments I respect your disagreement right now when I was talking about stuff like the uh uh like the hoaxes honestly I wouldn't respect your disagreement about the hoaxes you know I think I explained that but in this case because we don't none of us know and it's very complicated I totally respect your disagreement that you know Russia will do fine they're they'll find them out somehow I respect that I disagree with it but it's a perfectly reasonable opinion perfectly reasonable yeah I'm going to go with the heuristic that Russia is worse way worse at everything and that that's all you need to know to know that we're going to run out of ammo China has stated their support let's say you're China and the only thing you care about is your own interests because I think that's fair for most countries what is in China's best interest to become a a major player in the Ukraine war or to let Russia and NATO punch themselves out until both are weaker what what is in China's best interest now I suppose maybe they could give them ammo so that the fight goes on longer but China's best interest I think would be to continue buying energy and trade with Russia which seems fine and not to be too directly involved in war because that would make the rest of their customers unhappy so I think China will flirt with uh giving ammo to Russia and and here's like a totally speculative thing because I couldn't possibly know this I think China is yanking Putin's chain I I think I think China is doing to Putin what that secret American lab or whatever it is it was doing to Sam Harrison and Brett Weinstein yeah I feel like she is like so you need me ammo yeah lots of ammo and if we gave you that ammo you'd be in much better shape wouldn't you huh okay so we'll have conversations uh internally about giving you some ammo and then Putin gets back next week all right how'd that go how'd that conversation go can we have some ammo we are we are putting that to uh the let's see the committee of ammo decisions in the CCP and we'll get back to you in a week and Putin calls back in the week we have it now well you know the committee on ammo decided that they also needed an opinion from our uh you know our economic uh interest group and so they're reviewing it and Putin calls back next week and repeat my best guess is that she is yanking Putin along and he hopes that Putin will you know end the war before they give him one bullet because it would be a serious mistake by China to give Putin one bullet we're never going to forget that right explain why because we'll never forget it that's a permanent play there are lots of things that countries do they you know this makes me angry you shouldn't have tested that missile when our president was visiting but those are all like temporary stuff right you get past that pretty easily oh you shouldn't have said that you know blah blah blah but if you give our enemy one bullet that changes everything that changes everything Steve says your laugh at the end betrays your sincerity Steve you're a terrible mind reader betrays my sincerity no I laugh at uh all terrible things the more worse it is and tragic the more likely I will laugh it doesn't have anything to do with my sincerity yeah and by the way I don't apologize for that at all Russia is not our enemy I agree with you in concept but if you give them weapons that shoot NATO people um you can see it both ways let's say let's say all right um what else is going on yeah and I guess this uh Petrosian the guy who's out of the Wagner group he's he's directly naming names in the Russian military who are at fault for him not having enough weapons now if you if you believe that Russia has enough no weapons ammo if you believe Russia has enough ammo you have to explain why the guy who needs it the most says he doesn't have it the guy who needs it the most the Wagner group had he says they don't have it he showed a bunch of uh Russian soldiers of his own men he showed a gigantic pile a disturbing image a huge pile that just goes on for a long time of dead Russian soldiers his own team he showed that he said it's because we don't have enough ammo think about that the head of the Wagner group publicly showed a picture of his own gigantic pile of dead soldiers and said this is because we're not given enough ammo so you still think they have enough ammo do you you think they have enough ammo if they if if this guy did that play no you don't do that play if you have enough ammo or you expect to you do that play when you know you're not getting any ammo now the other possibility is Putin doesn't want the Wagner group to win have you ever thought of that Putin might need this pedrosian guy to lose you know why because Bedrosian is I would assume his biggest competitor to take over petrosians could probably kill Putin maybe even faster than Putin can kill him so I've got a feeling that the last thing Putin wants to do is make pajogjian a huge war hero by having enough assets to to win whatever that looks like winning in Ukraine it's entirely possible Putin is playing to lose it might be his best play because if if Wagner and pedrosian win the war for Putin I think pedrozian's your new leader of Russia or at least he's got a you know he's got a path to it Putin can't live with that Putin I think would rather lose the war than win it and make pajosian the hero of the war because he'd have to kill him immediately maybe that's hard why play it all then well I don't think that Putin expected to be in this position I think he expected to you know knock out Ukraine fairly quickly nobody's a big hero because it was easy only took us a week yeah we'll give you a medal but that's not a big deal right anybody could have done it it only took us a week but once it became nearly impossible once it became nearly impossible all the calculation changes and then Putin's just trying to stay in power staying in power means you don't have somebody who's competitive with you for public opinion so this is an interesting development to me it looks like Russia couldn't possibly win from their current set point so I'll say that again this was clear any time prior to today if you had said yeah it could go either way I would have agreed with you any anytime prior to today you could I would say it was a coin flip I don't know could go either way as of today Putin has a only a losing position I don't think he has any possibility of of anything that looks like a whim now it could be that we started negotiating before you know the Wagner group is completely gone we might but I feel like Ukraine is just going to push Russia out of all that territory now I didn't think that even yesterday even yesterday I didn't believe that but as of today I think they're going to take it all back because they can't here's a comment on locals who's still trying to figure out why Scott is so consistently carries the Deep State's water on this topic you know if you were not a local subscriber I would call you a idiot but I guess I am anyway my God I mean seriously I look like I'm carrying the Deep State's water like that's that's your that's your best opinion on what's Happening Here you should be embarrassed by that that's stupid just stupid and I I have to swear when I have these situations Joe says I'm lying for my world economic Forum Masters at such a low level of analysis oh you're working for Soros now no you're an idiot oh you work for the world economic Forum no nope you're an idiot oh you're working for the Deep State now nope and I hate to repeat myself but you're a idiot right none of that's happening it's the lowest level of understanding right there the lowest level you should quit this platform you're not qualified to be on the locals subscription platform that's just too dumb honestly you should be embarrassed about that all right I think I made my point um I was quite blunt thanks Maddie no I'm not attacking the audience I'm attacking the uh the trolls the audience I love I I will I will pair it um Tucker Carlson I actually respect my audience you can tell right can you tell I don't respect the ridiculous Trolls but I respect the audience a lot yeah I think the audience is amazing and I and I do believe it's the smartest political audience if somebody can tell me who they think is a smarter political audience I'm interested because I'd probably watch that content myself but I'm not aware of any I'm not aware of anybody who understands things better than this group uh uh thoughts on Dr.

Shiva running for Senate so you know early in was it early in the pandemic or something else I had Dr.

Shiva on my live stream so Dr.

Shiva is very smart yeah multi-discipline education Etc um but I don't trust him that that's it that's my whole opinion don't trust him all right um it happened uh I I don't remember which opinion it was but tweeted yeah now he does claim to have invented email and he has he has some backup for that claim but you know it's sort of a subjective opinion whether he was an inventor or you know one of the people who who was sort of involved in that area at the same time now my take is that his interest in um publicity is a little too high um there's something about the way he presents himself as raising flags with me that's all I don't have a I don't have any specific accusations by the way he uh you know he's he criticized me on Twitter recently did you know that so he came so Dr.

Shiva came after me on Twitter for something I believe it was probably I think he probably fell for the 4chan hoax or something I forget um uh the Viva interview with Shiva was hard to watch yeah I'm a Venus flytrap on Twitter Scott is petty and that's a shame I don't know I I'm not going to defend myself for that because I I like to focus on small things and big things so sometimes the Small Things interest me and I focus on them I'm not going to apologize for that well Rama Swami do better than Yang oh yeah much better the trouble with Yang is he didn't fit into any party what uh Vivek ramaswami is doing well is he's reading the room correctly for for the Republican side of the world so I think his reading of the room is really good so yeah he should do way better I think it's good there's going to be here's the problem if if Vivek ramaswamy ends up saying things that are sort of indistinguishable from Trump at least policy wise not not in style but policy wise what are you going to do what if you add two people that look like they had very similar you know strong Republican approaches both capable both smart one is Rama Swami and one is Trump what do you do pick him as a VP that would be a bold move might be wasted as a VP well here's I'll just throw this into the mix Republicans need to run a Brown candidate do you agree Republicans need to run a Brown candidate and I don't mean for Equity I don't mean for diversity I don't mean for signaling I mean just to get it over with just to get it over with it'd just be a branding thing like I I like that we had one black president already it sort of gets that you know gets that reputation off you that you can't do that now there are also some things that you can do if you're uh Brown and Republican that others can't do so Tim Scott would have the same benefit if Rama uh yeah if Vivek ramaswamy decided to press a war in Mexico would anybody call him a racist now what if Trump does it if Trump starts a war in Mexico against the cartels day one oh he always attacks the brown people doesn't he right so they could have identical policies but one can do it without political blowback of that type and one can do it with all that blow Buck of exactly that type so if Trump is your president and you're a Republican he will give you one more reason to be called a racist even though you didn't do anything and it's not his fault because in this scenario Trump would be doing what Republicans want which is getting tough on the cartels but the Democrats would still say well that's racist but you could take that away from them by having a brown president who just does what makes sense and then people go oh well let's just talk about whether it makes sense because it takes away their go-to yeah they call Candace Owens a white supremacist but but it sounds ridiculous it looks ridiculous so um Vivek has some real advantages he's got youth he's got you know business experience I like that he's an outsider he's smart enough seems to have the right passion the right energy uh there's a lot right about him there's a lot right about him I could easily imagine supporting him I'm not there yet but I could easily imagine foreign that ladies and gentlemen is the best live stream you've ever seen ever and I'm going to say goodbye to the You.

Tube people thanks for joining

and welcome to the highlight of

civilization it's called coffee with

Scott Adams and Today's Show amazing

I mean I don't like to get you too fired

up for no reason but it will be amazing

and that's why I'm going to make the

locals platform

private right now because I'll tell them

some secret stuff later

well well well

um how would you like to take today's

amazing moment that you're about to

experience elevate it to the best thing

that's ever happened to anybody

everywhere in the entire history of

civilization well you'd like that and

all you need is a cup of mug or a glass

a tanker cellos or Stein a canteen Joker

flask a vessel of any kind fill it with

your favorite liquid I like coffee

and join me now for the unparalleled

pleasure of the dopamine the other day

the thing that makes everything better

everything it's called the simultaneous

sip it happens now

go

and a special welcome to any club Birds

who still don't know they were the

victims of a hoax

a double hoax you got hooks by once by

4chan and Reddit

and then once by me you got double host

you're the most hoaxed group in America

double hoaxed

good for you

um here's a trivia question for you

during the time when slavery was legal

in America

named two presidents who did not own

slaves did not own slaves while it was

still legal

so prior to Abraham Lincoln

both of them were named

Adams right John Adams and John Quincy

Adams the two presidents who did not own

slaves back when it was legal in fact

John Adams famously defended a Slave

as his free attorney

yes so my cousins

have always been on the side of the

right

um

now there's a video of me that's going

around

in which I said in no uncertain terms

uh that based on opinion polls

um Rasmussen

uh about half of black Americans don't

think it's cool to be white it's just

not okay to be white

so since I've designated that to be a

hate group

black Americans a hate group

collectively not every individual

obviously anything I say about a group

you're all smart enough to know that

doesn't apply to all individuals right

you know that right

if I say that most of the presidents

until Obama or all of my guests were

white

that doesn't mean I was the president

you get that right

you can talk about groups and it doesn't

mean anything about any individual

so if I say that black Americans are a

hate group does that mean I don't like

my neighbor

who is black and a doctor

oh he's great

I love that guy that has nothing to do

with individuals I've made no comment

about individuals I love

black individuals

right so and all kinds of individuals so

as an individual I'm always going to you

know treat you as an individual whether

I want to date you have sex with you

hire you work with you talk to you it's

always going to be who the individual is

I've never had any I don't think I've

ever had any negative interactions with

any black American in my life or any

black you know any nationality but it is

nonetheless true that white people

trying to help Black America for decades

and decades has completely failed I wish

you just stopped doing it because all we

got all we got is called racists

basically there was no payoff

I I think what finally pushed me over

the edge

was finding out that the school systems

in our you know a lot of our

you know inner cities

they're graduating zero people who could

read and do math

zero

and you know as I've said before the

only strategy that works for any group

in America is focusing on education

if that's not your top Focus I don't

want to help you

let me say that as clearly as possible

if if education is not your primary

focus now I get that it's hard to do

but if it's not your primary focus I

don't want to have anything to do with

you helping you improve helping you

succeed

reparations nothing I don't even want to

have a conversation

like who who was the who is the most

notable black leader

pushing education as a way to improve

the life of black Americans who is that

person

somebody said Ben Carson maybe yeah

probably probably somebody said Bill

Bill Cosby

okay I hate the fact that that's true

I hate the fact that that's true

I think it's true that Bill Cosby was

big on education wasn't he

yeah

Tim Scott good but you know you're also

you're mentioning politicians who are

more famous just for being

you know generally politicians but but

who's the who's the black leader who

just is known as the education

person now you're mentioning a lot of

people like Thomas Soule who is

excellent

um Ben Carson Obama yeah they all say it

but it's not really a focus is it

if you tell me that any of them are

famous as making it their focus I would

say maybe famous to a very small number

of people

but there's nobody who's really you know

the brand for that

yeah Larry Elder I mean I'm sure every

every black leader has talked about

education

but it's not really talked about like a

focus is it how much did we talk about

um

George Floyd

versus education

I'm just not even close right

so anybody who doesn't focus on

education

I I don't want to help them

amount completely out but just just to

be completely clear

has nothing to do with individuals

right I love individuals of all types I

always have that that's not changing

it's just if we're going to treat groups

as groups

uh I'm going to say well here let me say

this

the LGBT group if it's sort of weird to

throw such different people in the same

group but LGBT people in America

huge success

am I right

have you ever said to yourself I don't

want to go into that gay neighborhood

because of all the of all the crime and

littering

you've never heard that

you've never heard that

nope not at all

so you know you can talk about groups

and say some things that maybe you're a

little bit useful but you know doesn't

have anything to do with individuals

all right have you been to Atlanta

all right so uh you and you know how the

world works because I said something

provocative that literally everyone

agrees with

which is if you're white

don't live in a black neighborhood it's

too dangerous

and half of the people there will think

it's not okay to be white according to

the recent poll

that would be crazy

so here predictably

a white a white man comes after me on

Twitter

and says

oh you're telling me I should get away

from my black family members

does that sound like something I would

say

that you should get away from your black

family members I'm assuming in-laws I

don't know

that's stupid

that's stupid

and then I asked him do you live in the

mostly black neighborhood

I didn't wait for the answer

because I don't have to

because the people who are going to come

after me all agree with me there's not a

single one of those white people who are

going to be you know what do you call it

signaling socially signaling they're

going to come after me to socially

signal

but they don't live in black

neighborhoods

they're taking my advice

that's all I'm saying

am I saying that you know this one

individual's probably a sister-in-law or

something like that am I saying that his

sister-in-law sister-in-law sucks

because she's black no no I don't even

know your sister-in-law don't even know

her of course not

I'll even go further

I'm not sure that black women are even

part of the question

because you know I don't see a a ton of

danger from black women

I mean you see videos of them fighting

and stuff usually it's women fighting

with other women most of the time but

and it's not it's not old black people

it's not senior citizens

it's not it's not toddlers

so it's not even about Black Americans

it's about youngish black males

for whatever reason

and I'm no longer interested in finding

out

it's a dangerous situation you should

just stay away but if any individual

young black man comes to it asks for a

job

should be fully considered with no bias

if you can manage it

so yeah don't don't discriminate against

the individuals don't do that

by helping as a group would be

ridiculous at this point

did you see the video of Biden falling

up the stairs of Air Force One

he was going up the stairs and suddenly

he goes down to all fours but fairly

quickly he got back up

now I believe that's been misinterpreted

because what I saw was it looked like

he was starting to change into a

werewolf you know how that works right

you'll be walking along and all of a

sudden

and you get onto all fours

but then I think he caught himself

because he realized he wasn't at the

entrance to the plane yet he's like oh

and then once he gets back on the jetty

back into werewolf mode I mean that's

just a guess

I wouldn't put any money on it but

that's just my interpretation I don't

know

like that's just what I saw

all right

um

Rasmussen did some polling about uh

Nikki Haley see how she would do in the

presidential race if she ran against

Biden and also how she would do in

primaries

interestingly

she would beat Biden and I had to

how about that

uh so interestingly I think I lost the

signal here for a moment

but according to erasmussen polls uh in

a three-way contest for the GOP

nomination

between Trump Haley and DeSantis now it

won't be a three-way probably but yeah

it might be toward the end as possible

um

let's see uh

52 percent of Republicans would choose

Trump if it were a three-way between

DeSantis and Nikki hilley and when I say

a three-way

I will allow you to think naughty

thoughts that's not what I intend

but once I said it I realized okay

that's what you're thinking so you're

allowed you may think naughty sexual

thoughts when I say three-way

competition

go ahead do it you know you want to

uh anyway so yeah Trump would give 52

percent in the primary

28 would say Haley and 24 would say

DeSantis

did you see that coming

now that I assume that's because the

Trump votes and the DeSantis votes are a

little bit fungible like those are the

ones that can go either way more easily

whereas the Nikki Haley votes are

probably

an anti-trump vote

does that make sense

so under that Dynamic you can see how

Haley would be slightly more than

DeSantis if it were a three-way

it doesn't mean it would be that if it

were a two-way if it were a two-way

between uh Nikki Haley and DeSantis I

think the Trump votes would go mostly to

DeSantis

I think I think it would be two to one

probably two to one DeSantis but I don't

know

because I was actually surprised by this

result

and it's also super early you know you

can't make too much of the polls at this

point all right but more interestingly

if Nikki Haley went up against Joe Biden

had to Ed in a hypothetical matchup

um according to Rasmussen

uh

45 percent of likely U.S voters would

vote for Haley and 41 for Biden

what do you think of that

does that sound legitimate

because I wonder if Nikki Haley would

pick up some of the uh

you know the person of color or woman

vote just automatically

because that's how it works right no

matter what you are you sort of pick up

that group at least some of them

automatically

and we we don't we don't typically have

Republicans running for office

who can sort of automatically get any

Democrat votes just by being who they

are it doesn't work that way

so it would be interesting to have a a

person of color uh running as a

republican speaking of which we'll talk

about uh

um ramaswamy in a bit

all right I could not be more amused or

interested and the latest Joe Rogan uh

conversation with Eric Weinstein

how many of you saw that talking about

UFOs

that was one of the most interesting

conversations it was super interesting

well I'll give you I'll give you the

part that I loved

so according to Eric there is some

governmental group

top secret governmental group

who has as long ago as three years ago I

believe started offering to Eric

and also to Sam Harris

that they could personally be taken to a

secret government facility

to see what Eric supposes might be

something in the UFO domain

but you know that the the actual topic

of what the government wants to show

them

is not disclosed so there's there's an

assumption happening here that it's

about aliens but I think that's just

short of being confirmed

now here's the funny part

apparently there have been a number of

back and forths

in which the offer was made hey we'll

take you to see this top secret stuff

and then it would fall apart

and then they'd come back oh we mean it

this time we're really going to show you

this stuff and then they say yes

and they'd be planning to do it and then

something would change and they'd delay

it

for three years

so they've never seen anything

but for three years I've been teased now

here's the funny part

Sam Harris bow down after the third one

so after the third time they said they

were going to do it they changed their

minds or they delayed Sam Harris said I

think he just called BS on it yeah

now uh Eric is still interested

and I don't know it would be hard not to

be interested because if they ever come

through and actually show them something

it'd be interesting but here's my

question to you

just on the surface you don't know

anything about the situation except what

I tell you

and here's what I'm going to tell you

of all the people on the planet Earth

that the top secret organization wanted

to show their UFOs

they chose Sam Harris in the Eric

Weinstein

can you explain that

how is that not funny just on his

surface

just and by the way I'm not making fun

of the two individuals the two

individuals I like a lot right I like

Sam Harris I like Brett Weinstein even

if I don't agree with them on different

things they're vote they're both very

serious you know American patriotic uh

you know good citizens they're good

people very smart meanwhile yeah I have

only positive thoughts about both of

them but I think it's hilarious

that the two of them entertained the

concept that they would be allowed the

secret Peak at the UFOs

well let me tell you this

do you know how a prank like the best

prank is organized do you know how to do

that

let me tell you I think I've explained

this before

the best kind of prank is the one that

wouldn't be believed by anybody except

the subject of the prank the target

so let me give you an example let's say

you had a friend who believed he or she

to be quite beautiful

but the rest of you not so much you were

thinking well maybe you think you're

beautiful

and it's good that you have a good high

opinion of yourself but maybe not

now if there were a person in your life

like that who believed they were

beautiful but objectively didn't seem

like it

a prank on that person would be

um a model agency is calling you because

although you do not have standard Beauty

you have exactly the kind of beauty

that's in Vogue and we want to make a

major a major magazine you know

pictorial love you

now what would make this a funny prank

is that nobody in the world would

believe it's true except the one who got

pranked they're the only one who thinks

that's plausible

now take this back to Sam Harris and

Brad Weinstein

uh

and by the way this prank would have

worked on me so easily right I'm glad

I'm glad it didn't happen to me but

imagine coming to me

it's the same problem right it's an ego

problem imagine coming to me some

government agency and they say Scott

you're the only person in the country we

trust to show you our UFOs

and I'd say

why why would I be that person and

they'd say well we've been listening to

you on social media and you say such

smart and unbiased things that we think

you're the best Messenger to tell the

world about it

what would I do in that situation

if that were a prank

what would I do oh I would fall for that

so hard

I I would fall through the floor for

that prank

why because it's right on the nose of

what I would want to believe

right yes sir it's sort of like it makes

me look good so of course I want to

believe it well that makes perfect sense

of all the people in the United States

they've been watching me on Twitter yes

yes that that's got to be it and and all

of my wise tweets have have finally put

me in a position where I alone can see

the secrets of the UFOs when do I buy my

plane ticket when do I buy my plane

ticket I want to go now

now

if it turns out that we have captured

alien spaceships or dead aliens or Betty

at alive in cages

and it turns out

their Erica sees them and take some

pictures and tells the world about them

then I'm wrong about everything

however this has all the Hallmarks of a

very good prank

I don't know

I don't know but if I had to if I had to

choose between we have a UFO in custody

and the two people that the government

wanted to see at first were Sam and Eric

I think I'm going to go with prank as

being a little bit more likely

there is however one other possibility

and

I can't tell you the details

but I will tell you that years ago

a person in a sensitive government

um

Department I guess you call it oh I'll

be vague I'll call it a department

in the area of the government

uh asked if I wanted to have a preview

of the government's most secret

knowledge

about a topic that I won't mention

all right so I won't mention the topic

but I was I was asked if I wanted to see

the the biggest secrets of the

government the things that you would

love to know trust me you would love to

know

and it was all

because I did say yes

and I did go look and it was all

in my opinion now that the person who

was in charge of it did not think it was

the person in charge believed

that they had found something of value

and I listened to it and I listened to

the evidence

and I said to myself

[Laughter]

so the other possibility is that it's

not a prank on Sam Harris and Brett

Weinstein it's possible that the

government has something and they don't

know what it is

like it could be like a you know a piece

of metal that they can't identify

and and that in their minds they've

built it up to be more than it is which

is just something they can't identify

so my guess is they keep thinking they

have a UFO

and then they're going to show some

people but the more they think about it

maybe they just have a piece of metal

that they can't identify

right it might it might be just

something like that where they think

they have something but they don't

so again we're just speculating can't

read minds but I'll tell you what I

would not bet on I would not bet on we

have any captured UFOs and the

government wanted Sam Harris and Brett

Weinstein to see it first

that feels unlikely

do you know why that's unlikely

because obviously they would have asked

me to see it first

am I right

[Laughter]

all right that was sarcasm

all right um I love that story

that's so good

speaking Sam Harris

he uh he he's getting a lot of trouble

by saying something that I say

so of course I'm going to defend him on

this because he says exactly what I say

and he's getting all kinds of Internet

trouble so he's even he's even trending

Sam Harris is on Twitter today and he

quit Twitter

so so one way to trend on Twitter is to

quit Twitter

so here's what he said this is a well I

think he said this it's it's it's a

quote I didn't see it on video but it

sounds like he would have said it so I

believe it's true

uh so here's a quote from Sam Harris

during the pandemic we witnessed the

birth of a new religion of contrarianism

and conspiracy thinking the first

sacrament of which is to quote do your

own research

does that sound familiar

it goes on the problem is that very few

people are qualified to do this research

and the result is a society driven by

strongly held unfounded opinions on

everything from vaccine safety to the

war in Ukraine

agree or disagree

that's not word salad you kidding you're

in cognitive dissonance if it sounds

like word salad this is completely clear

this is very clear

all right here's why I agree with him

he did not exclude himself from the

category of people who can't do their

own research and get a good answer

right

he did not say this is a skill I have

but you don't have it

now if he had then we'd have something

to quibble with but if you say none of

us have that you know except very rarely

somebody in the field

then then I'm on board with that

completely

yeah no nobody has that skill and even

the most uh the most qualified people in

the field often don't have it

we see this all the time yeah

so

does that sound like I might have

influenced that opinion

I'm just asking because you know I've

been saying exactly this for like three

years

I've said it out loud a bunch of times

yeah it's common sense so that would be

the argument that I did not influence it

but the wording of it

feels a little Scottish so to speak

all right

um

I'm going to try to introduce a new uh

phrase to politics

I'm going to call them uh political

gooners

have you ever heard that phrase a gooner

it comes from another context

uh all right I want to see if anybody

knows what it is before I explain it

those of you who know what it is you're

revealing too much about yourselves

all right let me tell you in the uh

in the naughty world of adult

entertainment

when usually a man

is so interested in his own

self-pleasure that he takes on sort of a

zombie appearance

I would give you an impression but it

would be the biggest meme that ever

that you ever saw so I can't give you an

impression but imagine a zombie face

well the one of the hands is is busy and

you know what a gooder is like oh you

know that sort of thing

so but I feel like there's a political

gooner class

and that's the people who believe hoaxes

they're obviously not true before you

research them

now I agree with Sam Harrison nobody's

good at research even if they think they

are they're not

uh but sometimes you don't need to

research things to know it's true am I

right

let me give you an example

um if you heard a story on social media

that said that Joe Biden was an actual

cannibal

and we're just finding out and that he

eats children

every night for dinner like actual

living children kills him and eats them

would you need to research that

that's a serious question would you need

to research that

no no you don't need to research that

who would believe that

only a political guter

somebody who is so busy masturbating to

their own team that they could no longer

think in any coherent way right now let

me give you an example

that's almost like that

the gooners actually believe they

believe that the president of the United

States wants

premeditatedly

and with full intention got in front of

the country and said that neo-nazis are

fine people did you have to research

that

did he have to go and really look at the

transcript I mean I did

but not because I needed to know

is because I was trying to unprogram the

gooners

but the gooners can't hear it

because you know their hand is going

furiously and the brain is just turned

off uh my team my team okay I'm gonna

give you the meme

I'm sorry

I have to give you the meme

it goes like this oh my team my team my

team my team okay there's Your Meme have

fun with it have fun with it

I I release it to the universe

all right so how about if you heard that

a president suggested drinking bleach

as a solution to covet did you need to

research that

no you didn't you did not need to

research that

you should not have had to research that

that was clearly and obviously something

that didn't happen

and if you say oh but Scott maybe it

wasn't bleach but it was a liquid

disinfectant

no no you don't have to research whether

he thought Listerine was okay

no you don't you don't have to research

that the only people who would be

confused by that

would be those people

You couldn't possibly see this

you know on the surface and believe that

you have to look into it

you don't you don't have to look into it

all right

political guters

um

I also love the fact that the people who

believe all the Trump hoaxes

they start with the assumption that

they're smarter than Trump

and yet they fall for every hoax

it's a weird assumption if you start

with the Assumption you're smarter than

him then anything he says that isn't

what you say you say oh well it must be

racist who thinks you should drink

bleach or something no no but if you

start with the assumption that he's an

intelligent person

who might who might in some cases know

more than you do

we've seen examples of that

if you start with that assumption The

hoax just disappears

you have to assume that Trump has an IQ

of 70.

and somehow became president of the

United States anyway

and apparently that's a real belief

I've actually talked to intelligent

successful people

who believes that Trump has such a low

IQ that he only became president by

accident

just you know a weird conflation of

events that's a real opinion

how do you have that opinion

there's only one way

you're a political gooner for your team

all right this is funny speaking of

doing your own research you're all aware

that Brett Stephen Stephens Stevens

Brett Stephens from The New York Times

did a big article in which he talked

about the new study of studies that said

that masks don't work you all saw that

right so it was a big study of other

studies and a paper about other studies

wasn't exactly a Meta Meta study but it

was a sort of a review of all the

science and the the conclusion was

Master work

well

eichenwald also uh at least an ex New

York's times writer says in his tweet

the New York Times has published an

absolutely Reckless and wrong New York

Times opinion piece by Brett stefans

about a scientific paper he clearly did

not read he allows one of the authors to

state in the article quote Mass don't

work for covet 19. the paper says no

such thing in fact uh you know

so he goes on to say that the paper is

pure garbage and uh

Etc now

do you believe

that the New York Times article from

stefans that looked at all the science

about masks and found no evidence that

they help do you think do you find that

reliable

because you did your own research

do you know that a lot of the studies

were done before covid

did you know that

they were pre-covered it wasn't even

tested covet did you know a lot of the

studies were about whether you could

contract it versus whether you're gonna

you know Breathe It Out

yeah yeah we are private

basically the research was garbage

but

the research that says Mass don't work

is garbage but so is the research that

says they work

so do your own research you can find

anything you want

you can find that they work

which I've done by the way I've done my

own research and I found huge you know

very reliable evidence that mass work

I've also done my research and found

that they don't

you can find both

you can you can totally find both

how can I tell the difference the only

thing I would say for sure is that

science has not demonstrated that they

work

with any data that seems useful

if science at this point especially at

this point if they can't prove they work

well then the question of using them is

just easy

right it's already a meme yeah it's just

easy

anyway so I think we're all against

masks but this is just a emphasis for

Sam Harris's opinion that doing your own

research is absolutely useless

it's completely useless in fact there

are three things that don't work

follow the science would you agree

following the science didn't work

did it

I don't think it works for anything

anymore how about do your own research

well people who did their own research

had different answers

we know that doesn't work

how about listen to The Experts

is that working

listen to The Experts no

no

so these are three things we all thought

used to work

follow the science listen to The Experts

but also do your own research just you

know for a double check none of those

have any evidentiary value at all

none

let me tell you how to know what's true

it's the only way

can you engineer a product out of it

that's it

engineering is the only way you know if

something's true

it'll take a moment for that to settle

in just think about engineering is the

only way you know if something's true

science doesn't give you that

because science is always you know even

when it's a fact

it's still subject to revision

but if you're an engineer and you say

okay you claim you claim I can make a

satellite right your scientific claim is

if I use this science I can make a

satellite and I can communicate with

Earth and maybe do GPS well let's find

out

so I'm going to build a satellite I'm

going to put it in in the sky and see if

it tells me where I am

oh that works

it's true

that's truth

the the app is telling me from the

satellite that I'm approximately in this

room

that's truth

everything else

is tentative

everything else is just a maybe

so I think this is where we've been

fooled forever

science is not where you go to find out

what's true

engineering is

engineering tells you what's true

let's take you to Medicine

science says this pill will work

do you know how you know you got to make

the pill the only way you know is you

you put it out there and see what

happens that's engineering I mean it's

medical engineering in this case

chemistry but I'd call it engineering

right

uh not only Engineers that is a fellow

no I don't mean that only an engineer

can determine what's true I'm saying

that your way to know if something is

true is if somebody can make a product

out of it and it works the way it's

supposed to now even that isn't 100

percent

because you could engineer something

that works for the wrong reason

for example we talked about this before

um if you believe that the wing of your

airplane had to have a Bernoulli effect

in order to get lift and you built that

plane it would fly

years later you'd find out that the

Bernoulli effect had nothing to do with

it

so you can test something and engineer

it and find out it works

but then you have to fly the plane

upside down

to find out what was true

if you fly the plane upside down which

you can do and the flies that you know

the Bernoulli effect wasn't at least

wasn't necessary it might have helped

but it wasn't necessary

all right

let's talk about this Georgia grand jury

because the walls are closing in on

Trump and this time well this time they

got him let me tell you all those other

times no no those were just uh that was

just play but this time

this time they got him

and do you know what he did

he used the word find

for votes

yeah just to find this many votes

as Alan dershowitz explains last night

on I think Hannity as Alan dershowitz

explains the word

find

implies they already exist

had he used the word

invent

or possibly concoct or possibly lie or

possibly pretend or possibly cheat or

possibly do something illegal

then I would say he committed a crime

but if you ask somebody to find

something that you honestly believe

might be there either through a recount

or

potentially there's a barrel of ballots

that didn't get counted somewhere

you don't go to jail for that

you don't go to jail because you use the

word find and other people thought you

meant cheat

you don't go to jail for what other

people thought you meant

that's not a crime

it doesn't matter how many people think

you meant something it still matters

what you said

it doesn't matter what they what they

think you meant

nobody goes to jail for that nobody

the odds of trump going to jail for that

and now I heard that the Georgia or

Atlanta whoever it is the prosecutor

wants to use Rico

because there were a whole bunch of

people talking about you know what to do

to uh have the election changed

basically

is it illegal for a bunch of people to

talk about uh how to get a political

outcome

it's not illegal unless you break the

law

now that there is there is a troubling

element to this

which is the the so-called fake electors

but

even the fake electors

were operating under a legal Theory

am I wrong about that

I believe there were lawyers who said

and they were minority lawyers in the

sense that other people disagreed but I

believe there were a few lawyers who

said yeah I think we could do this and

it would you know maybe pass

constitutional muster

I don't think anybody thought it was

like

uh an insurrection

I think they thought they were trying to

get the right result

so you'd have to find somebody who

admits that they knew they lost

and they did it anyway

if you can't find anybody in this whole

Ricoh conspiracy

who didn't honestly believe that Trump

won

there's nothing

am I wrong

wouldn't you need at least one person in

this conspiracy to say yeah we knew it

wasn't real but we're you know trying to

steal the election anyway

have you heard of one person

even one

because usually you have whistled lowers

by now but as even one person said you

know you know we really didn't believe

he won we were just sort of acting like

it

now the the RICO thing is so ridiculous

and the find thing is so ridiculous and

once again

who believes

who believes

that Trump broke the law it's obvious

it's been demonstrated it's part of the

public record and he's going down

uh should I give you an impression of

the people who believe that

[Laughter]

how could you believe that

I mean seriously

how could you believe that he's a he's

in legal trouble over this

here's another one

uh CNN is still talking about

how the uh the Dominion lawsuit surfaced

all these internal Fox memos

um oh I'm not done I'm sorry I'm not

done talking about the grand jury

I forgot the best part

um so apparently this grand jury only

recommends to another grand jury

I didn't know that was a thing

am I getting that right

that the grand jury is only making a

recommendation to another grand jury

and that other grand jury would have to

indict

is that right

two grand juries for one case

oh there's an investigative grand jury

and then a regular one the indictment

grand jury I guess I didn't know how

that that worked which is good because

it means I haven't been that much legal

Jeopardy so

so here's what I think we saw the four

person who apparently identifies as a

witch

now

as I said on Twitter

if I were writing the simulation you

know this this thing you think is your

reality but it couldn't possibly be real

it's just too weird if I were writing it

and I saw that there was a Witch Hunt to

get Trump

who would I make the foreperson of that

effort to get Trump The Witch Hunt

I'd make it an actual witch

or at least somebody who identifies with

witchcraft

yeah an actual witch

and then I would have that actual witch

go on every TV show and and and talk

about the things that you're not

supposed to talk about unless you're a

witch I guess I suppose if you're a

witch they expect that

and then and then laugh and be really

really happy act really really happy

that you might send uh Trump to jail

I've never seen Trump in less legal

Jeopardy than he is right now

at this moment in time

Trump is in the least legal Jeopardy of

his entire presidency and maybe his

whole life

I mean he's been so thoroughly

researched all they could find

was a witch

to claim that the word find means

something different than than English

that was their case

so but maybe there's something with the

fake electors that they can pin on Trump

but I'd be surprised

all right um

I I feel like I just have to stop

explaining all the hoaxes because

they're so obvious at this point

here's how CNN says it

uh CNN in one of their pieces online

said uh

that the grand jury investigated former

president Trump's attempts to overturn

the 2020 election

is that the right way to cut to

characterize what happened

would you have said that Trump was

attempting to overturn the 2020 election

sort of

like you could imagine that's like

technically accurate

but it's also fake news

if you don't mention the fact that he

and half of the country believe the that

the election was not legitimate

what would you how would you describe

trying to correct

an illegitimate election now I'm not

saying it was illegitimate I'm saying

that's what the people seem to have

believed

I wouldn't call it

trying to overturn an election

I would call it trying to get a recap

I would call it trying to audit it

I would try it I would call it trying to

make sure we got the right answer

but but they're sort of Assuming he's

guilty you know they've sort of

characterized him as well they have

characterized his intentions

they've characterized his internal

intentions that have never been spoken

in this way

if his internal attention was simply to

get the right answer

which would make him happy of course uh

let's not try to reverse the election

that's trying to get the election right

CNN is so weasily

anyway

uh let's talk about uh Vivek ramaswamy

so he tweeted uh this today

he said all call president obrador

president of Mexico on day one with the

message we'll arm you to decimate the

drug cartels pumping fentanyl across our

border the cartels may be your sugar

daddy now but there's a new daddy in

town if you don't do it we'll do it for

you your choice America 2.0

now I love the energy of that

I love the energy like the vibe

I like the toughness I like their

priorities

I like I'm even going I'm now accepting

decimate as annihilate I was corrected

that apparently common use has already

elevated decimate to be equivalent to

annihilate

I thought that was sort of in the

process but it looks like dictionary.com

calls them the same

anyway

um

let's see

so here's my problem with this Americans

believe that the president of Mexico is

owned by the cartels

do you agree

how many of you would say that's a true

statement that the government of Mexico

is essentially owned by the cartels

now whether that's true or not that's

what we believe

I'm sure it's true

but even if it's not

this doesn't work

because how can Americans get behind

arming the cartels because that's what

it sounds like to me it sounds like

arming Isis because you've got some

short-term gains but in the long run

arming Isis probably a bad idea probably

a bad idea

so here's how I would

um

modify this I wouldn't even talk to the

president of Mexico except to tell them

what we're doing

now we might need to sort of pretend

there's a government in Mexico before we

do what we need to do so you know maybe

he's right with his Instinct they they

have to at least give the government a

try but I wouldn't give them weapons

that sounds like the wrong play

um

so I don't know maybe maybe he'll uh

adjust that messaging a little bit I I

would prefer uh to negotiate with the

cartels directly

and the way I would do it is I would uh

I would publish a drone picture every

day of a cartel facility

now it could be a home owned by somebody

who's known to be cartel so just here's

the facility and then you say this will

disappear tomorrow because the missile

is going to drop on it

so then you give a chance for all the

innocent people to say what

I'm in this house I work in this house

there's a missile going to drop on it

and then you run out the door and you're

safe

and then we should just continue and

never stop every day here's a new

picture

that's that's a cartel asset in 24 hours

it's going to disappear

now of course

if they had drugs and money in there

they would grab it all and they would

leave with their junks and money

that's okay

that's okay blow it up anyway

now you'll still try to you know catch

them with their money and their drugs

and kill them too but just make it a

daily occurrence here's the photo

here's the the crater the next day

here's the new photo

do whatever you want all right go nuts

you can do anything you want but this is

disappearing this won't be here tomorrow

and you just make it non-optional

non-negotiable this stuff's just going

to start disappearing

I know

maybe or Annex Mexico I would be in

favor of that as well

yes literally

in case you wonder if I'm kidding yes

I'm literally in favor of annexing

Mexico

literally in favor of annexing Mexico

yep absolutely

yeah not kidding not hedging absolutely

in favor of annexing Mexico now if they

can stop the drug

flow

and the immigration flow that no reason

to

but at the moment there there are more

let me in the United States

and we should just own it

now we could give it back you know maybe

you fix it and give it back that'd be

cool

yeah that would be good I'd love that

imagine that we take it over

put in some kind of a Effective

Government if we can we can't do it in

America but let's say we can do it there

and then turn it back you know if you

get rid of the corruption I don't know

if you could

anyway so I do like that uh that the

candidates are going to compete on

Fentanyl and so

I like Vivek ramaswamy on that topic now

I saw you prompting me in the comments

there is apparently he has some history

that he was asked to join the world

economic forum a number of times when he

was successful young entrepreneur

and even his name was on the list at one

point but he says he flatly turned them

down

and then there's a story I saw today

that when he was a young student

he got some kind of funding from a Soros

Organization for uh

uh not a scholarship but something like

a scholarship

some kind of money

now

do any of those things bother you

yeah he went to Yale law on it wasn't a

scholarship it was a

what was it

what's the word that sounds like

scholarship but isn't

I forget what the word is but I don't

really care about that a grant

Fellowship maybe it was a fellowship or

something like that yeah I don't care

about that

you know if if a student wants to take

money for an education they could take

her from Satan I don't care

I don't care at all

um you know if he then became a you know

Soros puppet I'd be worried

but if all he did is get some funding

from a grant that could have gone to any

young smart person

take take the money

no problem

so there will be lots of uh stuff coming

out about his background you should

believe maybe 40 of the tops all right

so CNN is giving major coverage to the

Ohio chemical spill this is different

right

isn't it uh

this is a change I thought Fox was sort

of covering it almost by themselves but

maybe you know the fact that Trump

visited

makes it impossible not to cover it so

now it's part of a political horse race

not just the story about one town that

CNN probably wouldn't care about but now

it's political

so Trump very wisely visited not only

because it's a you know base of support

for him

but also because uh Biden was in Ukraine

and Buddha judge is delaying for reasons

that aren't clear

so

it was a brilliant political move would

you agree

brilliant political move

and would you also agree that every time

Trump is doing something like that

he's winning

but when he's just you know griping at

DeSantis and stuff

he doesn't seem much like a leader when

he does that now he was hilarious in one

of his uh truths that made it over to

Twitter today in which he was mocking

somebody I forget but what he's just

mocking somebody he's so funny I mean

just the words he chooses are just

freaking hilarious all the time

so anyway

um

so Mike dewine the governor of Ohio said

he would stay in East Palestine

overnight until the toxic train

derailment cleanup is done

what do you think of that

so the governor went there and drank the

water in front of people and now he's

going to sleep there until it's done

now that's some good governing

that's some good governing now maybe he

should have acted sooner or differently

or something but this part

this part is strong

it's it's maybe one of the strongest

leadership moves

I can remember

because this is well you say it's

symbolic but I think it's more than that

it looks like he's leading from the

front

people like that they like it from their

leaders you know I don't even know if

dewine is Republican or Democrat what is

he this dwaran Republican or Democrat

he's a Republican

like I didn't even know that

but there's a Republican

yeah well

judge it for yourself all right

um

it's really tough to keep a narrative

going if you're CNN

show their coverage of the uh what is

going to be brutal blizzards including

la

so I think this week or today Los

Angeles is supposed to have a snowstorm

so so the articles on the home page of

CNN or you know LA to get blizzard

freezing freezing everywhere it's

freezing there's snow everywhere and

then they had to add like the fourth one

down

was it's never been this warm in

February

uh here's why that's not a good thing

that's the actual title after all the

blizzards and hurricanes and record cold

there's never been this warm in February

that's why that here's why that's not a

good thing

foreign

now

I'm not going to say that weather is

climate I get it I get it it could be

really cold one day and really warm

another day and that's not really

telling you anything right you'd have to

look at the average everywhere over time

to know anything so I'm not I'm not

saying weather is climate but it's

hilarious how CNN has to maintain their

narrative

they didn't say anything that was wrong

as far as I know I mean February might

be the warmest it's been very warm where

I am I think this is my warmest February

so I agree with them you know at least

anecdotally but it's just so hard

because they can't just say it's really

cold

you tried to cover the news you're like

well it's really cold I'm going to write

it's really cold

before you write it's really cold

we better we better frame this in the

narrative

and then you say

it's the weather report

it's just cold today I know I know I

know it's just the weather but we'd

better make sure this is in the

narrative so they did

all right CNN continues to claim the fox

Executives privately knew that the

election was fair

but they were allowing their uh on-air

people to act as though it was not

or at least act as though there was

great questions

and then I think to myself wow if that's

true that's pretty damning

and then I say to myself I can't wait to

see the quote or the text that

demonstrates this claim

still waiting

as far as I can tell this is just made

up

am I wrong

it looks totally made up

I don't believe there's any evidence

that the fox Executives knew what the

election was because it was unknowable

do you knew it was fair

and then decided oh we know we know it

was good but we're still going to run

programming this as it isn't

that's that that's what uh the CNN is

indicating but there's no evidence of

that

there's simply evidence that people

disagreed

is that a crime

is it a crime that some of the people

have had Fox thought the election was

good enough you know fair enough and

some thought it wasn't

why why is that a crime

all they showed is that they don't

they're they're not operating in

lockstep

they showed that there was and here's

the part I like best they're criticizing

Tucker Carlson

for having said that their viewers are

good people and they should respect

their preferences for what they'd like

to see covered in the news

is CNN's mocking that like you know we

caught you

caught them what

respecting Their audience behind closed

doors

behind closed doors Tucker said he

respects his audience and wants to give

them what what they quite reasonably

want to see

because Tucker does not think it's

unreasonable that people have questions

about this election

neither do I

I believe that nothing's been

demonstrated to show it was illegal I

believe that I was surprised and I

certainly wanted to see more

transparency

and all that

but I'm completely on board with people

who had enough questions that they think

is still a news story

I agree with that completely if even if

there's no evidence of anything that

went wrong with the voting the fact that

a huge portion of the public believes it

that does make a news that is news

and

respecting your audience and and giving

them the the news coverage that they

most want because it's most important

you know if the election had been

you know thrown and let's say in the

illegal way I think it was rigged in a

legal way

rigged in the sense that the rule

changes because the pandemic were

favorable to the Democrats but it was

legal right I just have to give a you

know a hand to the Democrats and say

good work you know if the Republicans

could have done something that clever

and that effective and also completely

legal

I think I would applaud them too

because you know those are the rules if

you follow the rules and you win you won

you know it looks rigged but legally if

it's legally that's something else

all right so uh keep watching the

critics of Fox News and demand that they

give you an example to represent their

opinion because there aren't any they

don't have any examples to represent

their opinion that Fox News

was lying to their customers none

at least that I've seen that I've seen

CNN

talking about Ukraine is now

seemingly I don't know I'd call it

confirmed but they're reporting

that even the head of the Wagner group

it says they don't have enough

ammunition

and it doesn't look like it's going to

get fixed

now

do I need to give you my Universal

disclaimer

Universal disclaimer any information

that you hear about Ukraine is

unreliable even if the news guarantees

you that they have no ammunition left

they might have more ammunition than

anybody's ever had in the history of War

it's possible

it's possible yeah you can't believe any

report on Ukraine

but I've been following an account for a

while that a knowledgeable you know

military veteran who knows a lot about a

lot of stuff who's going through all the

circumstantial evidence that suggests

that they're running out of barrels for

the artillery because they wear out

pretty quickly you just shoot them I

don't know for a few days and you got to

take the barrel off you can't you can't

repair it

um you can't repair it in the field it

would have to be replaced by a factory

Precision barrel and the suggestion is

that even though Russia is trying to get

ammo from all kinds of different places

if you look at the whole picture of

everything they're doing

and then you listen to the head of the

Wagner group say it directly it looks

like the round of ammunitions

like actually they're out of ammunition

like actually the war could end because

they're out of ammunition

now

I'm not going to say that that's true

yet remember it's Ukraine and it's

Russia and nothing's believable but all

of all of the signs are pointing in the

right direction they're all pointing

that direction

and we'll know I think we'll know pretty

soon we'll probably know by June I think

now Joe says wrong in capital letters

now Joe did you need to tell me

that one word wrong in capital letters

is it because you believe that I think

that I believe the news coming out of

Ukraine

is there anything I can say that would

convince you I don't believe everything

coming out of Ukraine is there any way I

could convince you that's true

so that you would stop making comments

like that

you don't need to disagree about the

quality of the information you really

don't we all get it we all get it

however for fun

I'm going to make a prediction

I believe they're out of ammo

I could be wrong and it wouldn't be that

you know I wouldn't even be surprised

wouldn't even be surprised but remember

that uh Russia is worse at everything

than you think

is that fair

so far

Russia is way worse at everything you

think they should be able to do

Am I Wrong everything literally

everything

do you think that they're manufacturing

capacity is better than you think

if it's like every other thing is way

worse than you imagine

so I don't think that they can make

enough ammo and I don't think the ammo

that they're getting is high enough

quality not to blow up in the gun and I

don't think that they can get I don't

think that they have a good pipeline of

new barrels coming into the front line

to replace the barrels that are wearing

out

I think it's over

I think it's over

I think I think at this point there's no

way Russia can win on the battlefield

uh let me acknowledge all the people who

are disagreeing in the comments

I respect your disagreement

right now when I was talking about stuff

like the uh

uh like the hoaxes

honestly I wouldn't respect your

disagreement about the hoaxes

you know I think I explained that but in

this case because we don't none of us

know and it's very complicated I totally

respect your disagreement

that you know Russia will do fine

they're they'll find them out somehow I

respect that

I disagree with it

but it's a perfectly reasonable opinion

perfectly reasonable

yeah I'm going to go with the heuristic

that Russia is worse way worse at

everything

and that that's all you need to know to

know that we're going to run out of ammo

China has stated their support

let's say you're China

and the only thing you care about is

your own interests because I think

that's fair for most countries

what is in China's best interest

to become a

a major player in the Ukraine war

or to let Russia and NATO punch

themselves out until both are weaker

what what is in China's best interest

now

I suppose maybe they could give them

ammo so that the fight goes on longer

but China's best interest I think

would be to continue buying energy and

trade with Russia

which seems fine

and not to be too directly involved in

war

because that would make the rest of

their customers unhappy

so I think China will flirt with uh

giving ammo to Russia and and here's

like a totally speculative thing

because I couldn't possibly know this

I think China is yanking Putin's chain

I I think I think China is doing to

Putin what that secret

American lab or whatever it is it was

doing to Sam Harrison and Brett

Weinstein

yeah I feel like she is like so you need

me ammo yeah lots of ammo and if we gave

you that ammo you'd be in much better

shape wouldn't you huh okay so we'll

have conversations uh internally about

giving you some ammo

and then Putin gets back next week all

right how'd that go how'd that

conversation go can we have some ammo we

are we are putting that to uh the let's

see the committee of ammo decisions in

the CCP and we'll get back to you in a

week

and Putin calls back in the week we have

it now well you know the committee on

ammo decided that they also needed an

opinion from our uh you know our

economic uh interest group and so

they're reviewing it

and Putin calls back next week and

repeat

my best guess is that she is yanking

Putin along

and he hopes that Putin will you know

end the war before they give him one

bullet because it would be a serious

mistake by China

to give Putin one bullet

we're never going to forget that

right explain why because we'll never

forget it

that's a permanent play there are lots

of things that countries do they you

know this makes me angry you shouldn't

have tested that missile when our

president was visiting but those are all

like temporary stuff right you get past

that pretty easily oh you shouldn't have

said that you know blah blah blah but if

you give our enemy

one bullet

that changes everything

that changes everything

Steve says your laugh at the end betrays

your sincerity

Steve you're a terrible mind reader

betrays my sincerity

no I laugh at uh all terrible things

the more worse it is and tragic the more

likely I will laugh

it doesn't have anything to do with my

sincerity

yeah and by the way I don't apologize

for that at all Russia is not our enemy

I agree with you in concept

but if you give them weapons that shoot

NATO people

um

you can see it both ways let's say let's

say

all right

um

what else is going on

yeah and I guess this uh Petrosian the

guy who's out of the Wagner group he's

he's directly naming names in the

Russian military who are at fault for

him not having enough

weapons now if you if you believe that

Russia has enough no weapons ammo if you

believe Russia has enough ammo you have

to explain why the guy who needs it the

most says he doesn't have it

the guy who needs it the most the Wagner

group had he says they don't have it he

showed a bunch of uh Russian soldiers of

his own men

he showed a gigantic pile a disturbing

image a huge pile

that just goes on for a long time of

dead Russian soldiers his own team

he showed that

he said it's because we don't have

enough ammo

think about that

the head of the Wagner group publicly

showed a picture of his own gigantic

pile of dead soldiers and said this is

because we're not given enough ammo

so you still think they have enough ammo

do you you think they have enough ammo

if they if if this guy did that play

no you don't do that play if you have

enough ammo or you expect to

you do that play when you know you're

not getting any ammo

now the other possibility is

Putin doesn't want the Wagner group to

win

have you ever thought of that

Putin might need this pedrosian guy to

lose

you know why because Bedrosian is I

would assume his biggest competitor to

take over

petrosians could probably kill Putin

maybe even faster than Putin can kill

him

so I've got a feeling that the last

thing Putin wants to do is make

pajogjian a huge war hero by having

enough assets

to to win whatever that looks like

winning in Ukraine it's entirely

possible Putin is playing to lose

it might be his best play

because if if Wagner and pedrosian win

the war for Putin I think pedrozian's

your new leader of Russia

or at least he's got a you know he's got

a path to it

Putin can't live with that Putin I think

would rather lose the war than win it

and make pajosian the hero of the war

because he'd have to kill him

immediately maybe that's hard

why play it all then well I don't think

that Putin expected to be in this

position I think he expected to you know

knock out Ukraine fairly quickly

nobody's a big hero because it was easy

only took us a week yeah we'll give you

a medal but that's not a big deal right

anybody could have done it it only took

us a week but once it became nearly

impossible

once it became nearly impossible

all the calculation changes and then

Putin's just trying to stay in power

staying in power means you don't have

somebody who's competitive with you for

public opinion

so this is an interesting development to

me it looks like Russia couldn't

possibly win from their current set

point

so I'll say that again this was clear

any time prior to today

if you had said yeah it could go either

way I would have agreed with you

any anytime prior to today you could I

would say it was a coin flip I don't

know could go either way

as of today

Putin has a only a losing position

I don't think he has any possibility of

of anything that looks like a whim

now it could be that we started

negotiating

before you know

the Wagner group is completely gone

we might

but I feel like Ukraine is just going to

push Russia out of all that territory

now

I didn't think that even yesterday even

yesterday I didn't believe that but as

of today I think they're going to take

it all back

because they can't

here's a comment on locals who's still

trying to figure out why Scott is so

consistently carries the Deep State's

water on this topic

you know if you were not a local

subscriber I would call you a

idiot

but I guess I am anyway

my God

I mean seriously

I look like I'm carrying the Deep

State's water

like that's that's your

that's your best opinion

on what's Happening Here

you should be embarrassed by that that's

stupid

just stupid

and I I have to swear when I have these

situations

Joe says I'm lying for my world economic

Forum Masters at such a low level of

analysis oh you're working for Soros now

no you're an idiot oh you work for the

world economic Forum no nope you're an

idiot oh you're working for the Deep

State now nope and I hate to repeat

myself but you're a idiot right

none of that's happening

it's the lowest level of understanding

right there the lowest level

you should quit this platform you're not

qualified to be on the locals

subscription platform that's just too

dumb honestly you should be

embarrassed about that

all right I think I made my point

um

I was quite blunt

thanks Maddie

no I'm not attacking the audience I'm

attacking the

uh

the trolls

the audience I love I I will I will pair

it

um Tucker Carlson

I actually respect my audience

you can tell right can you tell I don't

respect the ridiculous Trolls but I

respect the audience a lot yeah I think

the audience is amazing and I and I do

believe it's the smartest political

audience

if somebody can tell me who they think

is a smarter political audience

I'm interested because I'd probably

watch that content myself

but I'm not aware of any I'm not aware

of anybody who understands things better

than this group

uh

uh thoughts on Dr Shiva running for

Senate

so you know early in was it early in the

pandemic or something else I had Dr

Shiva on my live stream

so

Dr Shiva is very smart yeah

multi-discipline education Etc

um

but I don't trust him

that that's it that's my whole opinion

don't trust him

all right

um

it happened uh

I I don't remember which opinion it was

but

tweeted

yeah now he does claim to have invented

email and he has he has some backup for

that claim but you know it's sort of a

subjective opinion whether he was an

inventor or you know one of the people

who who was sort of involved in that

area at the same time

now my take is that his interest in

um publicity

is a little too high

um there's something about

the way he presents himself as raising

flags with me

that's all I don't have a I don't have

any specific accusations

by the way he uh you know he's he

criticized me on Twitter recently did

you know that so he came so Dr Shiva

came after me on Twitter for something I

believe it was probably

I think he probably fell for the 4chan

hoax or something I forget

um

uh the Viva interview with Shiva was

hard to watch yeah

I'm a Venus flytrap on Twitter

Scott is petty and that's a shame

I don't know I I'm not going to defend

myself for that

because I I like to focus on small

things and big things

so sometimes the Small Things interest

me and I focus on them I'm not going to

apologize for that

well Rama Swami do better than Yang oh

yeah much better

the trouble with Yang is he didn't fit

into any party

what uh Vivek ramaswami is doing well is

he's reading the room correctly for for

the Republican side of the world so I

think his reading of the room is

really good

so yeah he should do way better

I think it's good there's going to be

here's the problem if if Vivek ramaswamy

ends up saying things that are sort of

indistinguishable from Trump at least

policy wise not not in style but policy

wise what are you going to do

what if you add two people that look

like they had very similar

you know strong Republican approaches

both capable both smart

one is Rama Swami and one is Trump

what do you do

pick him as a VP

that would be a bold move

might be wasted as a VP

well

here's I'll just throw this into the mix

Republicans need to run a Brown

candidate

do you agree

Republicans need to run a Brown

candidate and I don't mean for Equity I

don't mean for diversity I don't mean

for signaling I mean just to get it over

with

just to get it over with it'd just be a

branding thing

like I I like that we had one black

president already

it sort of gets that you know gets that

reputation off you that you can't do

that

now there are also some things that you

can do if you're uh Brown and Republican

that others can't do

so Tim Scott would have the same benefit

if Rama uh yeah if Vivek ramaswamy

decided to press a war in Mexico would

anybody call him a racist

now

what if Trump does it if Trump starts a

war in Mexico against the cartels

day one oh he always attacks the brown

people doesn't he right so they could

have identical policies but one can do

it without political blowback of that

type and one can do it with all that

blow Buck of exactly that type so if

Trump is your president and you're a

Republican

he will give you one more reason to be

called a racist even though you didn't

do anything

and it's not his fault because in this

scenario Trump would be doing what

Republicans want which is getting tough

on the cartels

but the Democrats would still say well

that's racist but you could take that

away from them

by having a brown president who just

does what makes sense and then people go

oh well let's just talk about whether it

makes sense because it takes away their

go-to

yeah they call Candace Owens a white

supremacist but but it sounds ridiculous

it looks ridiculous

so

um Vivek has some real advantages he's

got youth he's got you know business

experience I like that he's an outsider

he's smart enough seems to have the

right passion the right energy

uh there's a lot right about him there's

a lot right about him

I could easily imagine supporting him

I'm not there yet but I could easily

imagine

foreign

that ladies and gentlemen is the best

live stream you've ever seen

ever

and I'm going to say goodbye to the

YouTube people thanks for joining
