Episode 2177 Scott Adams - Most Of The Summer News Is Fake & That means Fun Mocking & Sipping Coffee
Mocking summer news while sipping coffee
Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. And if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that I don't think anybody can even imagine, well all you need is a mug or a glass, a tankard, a chalice, a stein, a jug or flask, vessel, libation, and

View segment →Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. And if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that I don't think anybody can even imagine, well all you need is a mug or a glass, a tankard, a chalice, a stein, a jug or flask, vessel, libation, and fill it with your favorite liquid.

Go. Ah yes. Let's go private over here.
Well there's a lot of fun things to talk about. And let's see, first of all there's an AI-created clip of South Park. So AI wrote, directed, and animated a little South Park episode. I saw a tweet saying that this was looking like the beginning of the end of humans creating. Well I didn't say it that way but it looked like the beginning of one person being able to create an animated series. Just tell it what topic and create a little show for you.
However I watched that little show just to see how good an AI was and it can't write. It can't write at all. I consider it ad agency quality writing. Now if you're a professional writer that's like the deepest insult because ad agencies are the worst writers. Have you seen a commercial? They don't hire humorists to write the commercial. If you're an ad agency you think you use skills so people who studied some advertising think they can write jokes. So that's why all of your insurance commercials are so lame.
I've got a good idea for a joke. How about I don't know, let me think, come up with something original. Original. I'm working for the ad agency. Something nobody's seen on a commercial. I've got it. We're going to make a white male look like an idiot. Has anybody done that yet on an insurance commercial? I feel like that'll be groundbreaking. A dull white male who's incompetent in everything. I think that will be shocking and amazing. People will be talking about it. They could go viral. That's what ad agencies think. What has everybody already done before that wasn't good and maybe we should do some more of that.
So the writing is terrible. Now AI of course can never write South Park for an obvious reason. Do you know the obvious reason? Because the only thing that makes South Park funny is that it's inappropriate. That's all. That's the whole joke. I mean you're extremely clever and well written and yeah it's a national treasure so South Park is amazing but it wouldn't be funny if they could never be inappropriate. So AI only can be appropriate and South Park is only funny if it's inappropriate. How could it ever solve that? It has nothing to do with how good AI could be. It's limited by humans to never be good. It's designed to be bad. It's actually designed not to be funny.
So here's the other thing that I'm going to add that you just won't see anywhere else as far as I know. This is just my own personal theory that I've never seen anybody else say. Part of what makes you enjoy humor writing is imagining that the people who wrote it or in some cases performed it are going to get in trouble. Now you don't think of it that way but if you don't feel danger for the writer or the presenter then it doesn't really trigger you. It doesn't become viral. It doesn't become anything. It's the sense of danger of a human being that makes it interesting to us, right?
Because if you said to me, "Hey Scott, there's something dangerous happening to a toaster a block away," I'd say, "What?" "Yeah there's something to a toaster a block away." And I'd say, "Is it my toaster?" "No, a toaster." "Well it's somebody's good toaster. They're rooting." "No it's not even really a new toaster. It's actually a broken toaster that somebody's abusing." Would you care? No, because it's a toaster. You wouldn't care at all.
So when AI writes something even if it could say something at the moment it can, but you could easily imagine they could teach it to do that. If they taught it to be dangerous you would say to yourself, "So what? There's a toaster in danger." So AI is putting itself in danger by just repeating some patterns that we take as provocative but nobody's in danger.
Yeah you'll never want to watch AI art because you'll know it didn't come from a person. Because the amazing thing about art is that a human made it. If you've ever been confused and thought that the amazing thing about art is that you enjoy looking at it, do you think that? Do you think the reason that you look at the great masters, the Da Vincis, you think it's because you like how the picture looks? Literally nobody likes how those pictures look. You wouldn't buy that photo if it were not made by Da Vinci. It's the fact that a human made it. That's the entire art. It's not art without that. It's not the picture. It has no value.
Even the greatest artists in the world, you know the Jackson Pollocks, depending on the impressionists, it doesn't even matter what genre you're in. The only thing that makes it art is that a human being made it. And if you don't think that's going to be true for music as well then I don't think you understand music either. Music is interesting because your brain says, "Wow, people made that. I would like to meet those people." That's it.
If you're the greatest composition and song that took any trick that you could make a hit song and put it all in one song so it had everything but you knew AI made it, you'd listen to it once. You'd say, "Oh that was actually a pretty good song the AI made." There you'd never be interested again because it wasn't from a human. People are interested in themselves, period. If you don't understand that then you don't understand really anything about why people are about to care about themselves and that's the end of the analysis.
Now you say, "Scott, Scott that's crazy. They care about their family." That's caring about themselves. Their family is just an extension of themselves, right? If somebody in your family dies that hurts you, right? They're not just separate entities although they're also that. They are you, right? When you see somebody who looks like you getting hurt that's you. That's you. The reason you care less, it's terrible to say it, you care less if somebody looks the least like you if they get hurt. I hate to say it but it's just the way we're all wired. The more somebody's like you the more they are you in your mind and the more you care about them. And AI is the most unlike you that it could be. It just doesn't matter.
Stuff that looks like you. If you had a photograph, a photograph of a person, would you like love it and want to fall in love with it? No it's just a photograph. It's just an image. So I think all of the technologists are missing maybe the biggest part of what AI is trying to master. The biggest part is that we will never be interested in a machine's work. We will use AI to do functional stuff that makes things faster, you know does things faster, basically just better or faster, more convenient. That would be great but no it's not going to do art. It's not going to do art because it can't under any condition. You can't do it because you never wanted to look at the picture and you never wanted to hear the song if you don't understand that. And you never wanted to hear the joke. You don't care about the joke, the song, or the picture. You care that a human made them and you wonder about the human. You put yourself in position. You know you couldn't make those things. They impress you. You want to meet that. But without that understanding the whole field of AI, at least the art-related part of it, is just absurd. It's just demonstrations of things that will never be real. But AI still has lots of useful purposes but I don't think art right away is going to be part of that.
All right. So Rand Paul's office in Kentucky was destroyed by a fire. I don't know if they figured out the cause of that yet. Do we know if that was arson? Is there a climate change? All right you got me. I was not expecting to laugh at that. Climate change. That was kind of perfect. That's like the old joke about typing. The comments showed up. I think it was the timing of the comment. It was just like the moment I said climate change. All right that was pretty funny. It wasn't climate change but I'm seeing the comments. We don't know what it was, right?
So is there some suggestion that it might have been intentional? Is that still a possibility or not? Well I'd like to say that Rand Paul, he seems unkillable. So far he survived a mass shooting during the softball game. He was a survivor. He survived being attacked, viciously attacked by his neighbor. Survived that. And sort of survived COVID somehow. Somehow he survived COVID. I'm not even sure he ever double masked and somehow he lived anyway. But now his office is destroyed by fire. You have to ask yourself, you know, and of course there were coincidental things. He was going to go after Fauci and he doesn't like the war in Ukraine. So there's always a reason. There's always a political reason. That would be true of most of the prominent senators at any time.
I would just like to say he's maybe one of the bravest people who's ever worked in government. I mean he's a brave mofo. I'd just like to take a moment to acknowledge that when people take these jobs it's not always for the power. Sometimes they're patriots. Rand Paul as far as I can tell isn't doing it for the money. As far as I can tell I don't see any indications to that. And he takes difficult stands which I believe are completely principle driven even when I don't agree with them. When I disagree with them generally he'll state his principle and I'll go, "Okay well that's consistent." So even when I don't like his opinions I like his opinions. Can you say that about everybody? You can't.
I would say it about RFK Jr. When I don't like his opinions or don't agree with him still totally respected because he shows his work, right? He says it's this study. This is why I believe it. That's all I'll ask of anybody. I don't ask you to be right all the time. That would be unreasonable. So Rand Paul's in my sort of highest level of government credibility. He puts his life on the line, doesn't walk away, doesn't appear to be lying about anything. Can you even think of a time he was accused of lying? I don't think he's even been ever accused. It doesn't seem to be part of his deal. He's just trying to make something better it looks like to me. So just kudos to one politician who while I don't agree with everything he says, that's not really mentioning Thomas Massie who is somebody I also often call out for extra respect because of the rational approach he's bringing. Again not somebody I'll agree with every time but he always brings the goods, always brings the argument, right? And it's never silly. It's never stupid. Sometimes you just don't agree. Priority is different or something but smart people, good patriots. I'm glad we have them.
All right let's talk about summer news. You know what summer news is? It's the kind that's mostly made up just so we have something to talk about in the summer. Well along those lines are probably drunken vice president. I'll just say probably because she acts like she's drunk in public but that's all I know for sure, right? I don't know if she is. I just know she acts like a drunk. And if you're not asking the question is she actually drunk I believe you're not doing your job as a good citizen, as a citizen who's you know has any interest in the country. I feel like it's a fair question. Are you drunk right now?
In fact in 2023 it's the most reasonable question you can ask. As soon as you get into a disagreement on social media I've taught you this before. If a troll comes after you in the comments and you're sure they're just, it's like they don't want to understand, they're probably drunk. Like actually literally if you looked at the population of the planet at any given time from the afternoon to the evening what percentage of people who drive by you on the highway are drunk? Probably 10 percent. Probably 10. What percentage of people on social media are the ones who are the terrible trolls? No different. It's probably not a coincidence you know that the amount of alcoholics, the amount of trolls seems to be similar. So it won't bother you as much to see a troll comment if you just say to yourself probably drunk. You wouldn't be wrong a lot.
But drug Kamala Harris was railing about the state of Florida allegedly having in their new curriculum something that is insulting to black people and anybody who cares about black people because it said, quote, let's see how she, I want to see how she paraphrased it. She said quote, "Just yesterday in the state of Florida they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery." Now do you think that that was true? Do you need me to do an extended explanation of why that didn't happen? Why Florida isn't actually teaching people that slavery was sometimes good? Do I need to get into any of the details or will you stipulate that it's obvious on the surface that nothing like that happened? You know nothing like that happened, right?
All right so here's the closest thing that did happen. So this is summer news. This is somebody misinterpreting something in a really obvious way like a real obvious misinterpretation and then getting really angry about it. So first comes the misinterpretation and then there's the mock anger. Do you think she's really angry? Do you think she woke up and thought oh I'm so angry about this? No no she's not angry and nobody who's talking about it cares. It's just summer news. It's just something to talk about.
Here here's the actual statement from part of the curriculum I guess. It says quote instruction, so I guess the teachers are being instructed how to teach the history. Instruction includes how slaves develop skills in which in some instances could be applied for their personal benefit. So slaves developing skills that could be applied for their personal benefit turned into why is Florida saying that slavery was good for slaves?
Do you know what this personal benefit means in context if you keep it in context? Do you know what personal benefit means? It means, I'll give you an example. This is my understanding. It means that if you were a slave working in the field which you can imagine would be among the worst of these slave jobs, if you could figure out a way to let's say learn how to repair wagons or to shoe a horse, put horseshoes on a horse, probably better work. So that would be a case where a slave could go from the worst thing you could possibly do to something a little less worse. Still a slave. Nobody thinks that. Literally nobody thinks that and Kamala Harris doesn't think it. Nobody who agrees with her and claps like say a lot, none of them believe it. They might act like they believe it. They might argue with you with stern looks but they don't believe it. This is just summer news.
How about that Jason Aldean song that people are calling racist? How many of them do you think actually believe there's something in the song that's racist? Probably nobody. No I've said that even I like got the vibe but when you look at it you're looking for the racist stuff it's just clearly not there. But I can see why it's provocative. So if somebody said hey the media has primed us to have a bad reaction to material that's a good take. That's a good take. But if you say it was racist and yet there's not a single image you could point to that would back that or song or there's nothing in the words or the imagery that would suggest that this is just summer news.
If you got even a little bit worked up about the Jason Aldean situation you were getting worked up by drunken trolls and people who just need something to talk about. None of this stuff is real. It just isn't.
All right I told you that I agreed to talk to Roseanne on her upcoming podcast. I was thinking about Roseanne the other day so thinking about what she got canceled for and I don't need to go into the specifics because you probably remember them anyway. But do you think that in the real world there's even one person who believed honestly that Roseanne was bigoted? I think they accused her of being anti-semitic and at one point of offending a black woman that she didn't know was black. Nobody. But you couldn't find one person in the entire world and certainly nobody knows her. You're like I'll bet you couldn't find one person who would back that. Oh yeah in private. Oh yeah you should see what she says in private.
And I said the same thing about myself when I got canceled. The first thing that happens when you get canceled, you all know this, they look through your entire history to find out all the supporting bad things you did that for some reason nobody noticed until now. And when you sum them all up, oh my God this new thing must really be indicative of your nature. Did you notice that there was none of that for her? None of that for me? None. You don't think that people poured over everything we did as soon as we got canceled? Of course they did. And what did they find? Decades of the opposite. Decades. Decades of consistently being the opposite of the accusation. And still that fact doesn't alter the story. Don't you think the story should be well after 40 years of being this way there was this one thing that people thought might invalidate that 40 years? None of this is real. There's nobody who cares about Roseanne's opinion or mine.
Do you think there's anybody who woke up and it's like you know I was gonna have a good day but there was this cartoonist who said that thing that I took out of context and now I can't have a good day? No nobody cares about my opinion. They use the opinions of famous people as just a focus point to put their own views into it. So it's never about the person. They're just a conduit for people's opinions and that's about it. Don't take any of it seriously unless you get canceled and then you all know this.
All right so as you know Vivek Ramaswamy is getting a lot of attention for a great campaign. A lot of people who like Trump probably are liking him as well. Maybe not as much, right? Maybe they still prefer Trump but the Venn diagram of people who think you know they like Trump's vibe or at least what he's offering policy wise they're liking Vivek for similar reasons. But if you want to hear the best reason, yeah this might be the moment when I went from liking Vivek a lot to loving him. I think I've crossed over to some kind of man love.
All right here's what he tweeted after there was yet another embarrassing Kamala Harris video. So Vivek tweets that Kamala Harris makes the most powerful case I'll see in my lifetime against race and gender quotas in government if only she knew it. Wow. I don't think has anybody except Trump ever said something that direct. That's really direct. Yeah standing ovation right now.
This tweet didn't make much of an impact when he did it. Was it two days ago? Can you imagine in any other world that two days ago he could say this? That Kamala Harris is the best argument in his whole lifetime against race and gender quotas in government. He said it as directly as you could say it. You know why there was no controversy or pushback? Everybody agreed. Yeah.
Now Trump made the arms a little bigger so now you can play inside his space, right? So because Trump is so brutally frank on his opinions it just made it acceptable that you can play within those realms. He's already created. So I don't think Vivek could have said this I don't know six years ago. I think it would be the end of his career but today you can say it not only because it's obviously true but because our conversation has been broadened so you can now say that and you can actually just go on with your life.
Now I'd like to endorse that so I can say it too. Kamala Harris is obviously a diversity hire. Obviously. Now that doesn't mean that all diversity hires are going to be incapable like she is. Literally nobody thinks that. But some, but surely in our weird world where you protect everybody you know pretend to have opinions somebody's going to pretend that I think that if you're a minority hire you could not be qualified. Literally nobody believes that. Literally nobody. Yet that's the way we play it. We act as if there's somebody who actually has that opinion. Have you ever met anybody who had the opinion that you couldn't have a qualified black vice president? It's not even a thing. Literally you couldn't find one functioning brain that would have that opinion. Nobody.
But can you say that Kamala Harris is somewhat obviously not qualified? Yeah you could say that. It's pretty obvious to everybody. I'm sure the Democrats see it as well as we do. I mean the honest ones. So kudos to Vivek for being so direct. This fits perfectly in his policy preferences to get rid of all hiring preferences so it's right on target. And again he's just killing it. He's killing it.
Now the most dickish thing you can say in these situations I'm going to say it anyway because you know all the candidates are running for first place. Nobody's running to be a vice president, right? But it has to be said he would be perfect for Trump. He would be perfect. My microphone is plugged in so if you're hearing it low there's some problem on your end. The YouTube sound is actually better than the other sound.
All right so Trump did a little video about Biden basically. He's saying that Biden is sleepwalking us into World War III and it's all because of a country that gave the Bidens millions of dollars. Now I gotta say again that Trump is the best at simple framing. We've never seen this before. Like a lot of people are good and smart and good at framing. You know Vivek is great at it but this is just like otherworldly, right? It's just he gets right to like that feeling you feel. Like he skips all the intellectual stuff. It goes right at that thing you're feeling in your chest. This is exactly what I feel in my chest that we've got a president who's sleepwalking us into World War III for the benefit of a country that gave him millions of dollars through Burisma primarily. That's exactly what it feels like.
And so Trump is saying the exact thing you're thinking as you're thinking it. Damn he's just so good at that. Just take a moment to appreciate. And again you know I'm not going to be slobbering all over Trump's entire package so to speak. That was poorly worded. I'm going to try to call this as objectively as I can, right? So I'm going to say good things about anybody who's doing good things including Biden if he does some good things. But you can't beat Trump for simple framing.
All right there's a story. My favorite summer story so far is that Hunter Biden went to visit his lawyer and of course wherever he goes the paparazzi are there. And so his lawyer comes out on his balcony and smokes a bong and the photographers are getting a picture of the lawyer smoking a bong while Hunter's inside doing God knows what. Do you know what the funniest part of the story was? This is my favorite part of the story. The press said they didn't know what was in the bong.
Well nobody asked me to be an expert witness in this case but I volunteer. If you'd like you could interview me to see what my feelings are about what was in the bong. In fact I'll ask Dale to do just that. Dale could you interview me and ask me what's in that bong? Well we see it's a bong but we don't have any information whatsoever about the content of what he's smoking. It was a bong. And see no there's not really a second thing you smoke out of a bong. Not really. I mean maybe it's happened once but I don't think it was lettuce. Yeah I don't think he was looking through the ingredients in his kitchen. He was like paprika? I wonder. No I don't think that happened.
Would this be a story if he'd had a glass of wine on the balcony? If he'd been photographed with a glass of wine with dinner nobody would care. Is marijuana illegal in California where this alleged bonging happened? Totally legal. Totally legal. It's a nonsense. And just a personal note if I were Hunter Biden's lawyer I don't know how I would do it without doing bongs. I mean I think there's a way but it's not obvious to me. So yeah it's just personal.
So the boxes trial. The Mar-a-Lago boxes of secrets. Now you remember all the secrets that are in the boxes, right? Do I have to go over it again? All the secrets that they've told us are in the boxes. Oh wait nobody has told us there's anything in the boxes. No nothing at all. We don't have a single piece of information that there's even one thing in a box that anybody would care about. I'm not saying there isn't but isn't that interesting that nobody can even give us a for instance? How about just a for instance? Well we can't but I will tell you there was a detailed battle plan for Iran. Okay don't need to tell me the battle plan. That would be cool but just there's something like that in the box. Anything. Just anything. What's your worst one? You don't even have to tell me everything in the box. Just pick your worst thing. Nuclear secrets? Is it the nuclear secrets? I don't know but the timing is exact.
But generally speaking the Republicans would be done. So we would have a situation where Trump would be the Nazi but also possibly a convicted felon, potentially facing jail time if his appeal failed, right? So you assume if he got convicted there would be an appeal so that he would still become president. There's nothing that would stop him from being president, right? Even if he got convicted. If he were out on bail or he's appealing it. I mean it's not like he's a flight risk, right? Is Trump a flight risk? Where can he hide? He's the least flight risky guy of all time. You wouldn't even need bail would you? I don't think you would. You just say all right everybody's keeping an eye on you.
Well this is my first exposure to the details of this story but can somebody answer this question? Doesn't this give him perfect timing to use the prosecution as part of his campaign to say the government is corrupt and trying to rig the election by taking him out? So wouldn't it help him in the election? At the same time he could just pardon himself after it's done. I would vote for him just to pardon himself. I would. I would vote for him just to pardon himself. Policies? I would just vote for him to pardon himself. That would be the end because I don't see the prosecution as being something that would have happened with another person. I'm not saying he did or did not commit any technical violations. It might have been in fact probably. I just don't think they rise to the level of response.
So I think so far it looks like it could work in his favor because they're never going to tell you what's in the boxes. They're just going to wave their hands. Dangerous boxes. And eventually the longer you go without hearing what's in the box the less likely you think there's anything you care about. Yeah there might be some secrets but do they matter? Does anybody care? I doubt it.
All right Trump has said that there are a lot of passionate voters out there, more passionate than ever, and things would be quote very dangerous if he went to prison. Now I'd like to show you the faces of the people on CNN when they heard Trump say the most obvious thing in the world that it could be dangerous if one of the leading candidates is put in jail on charges that don't look credible. Now CNN decided that that was a threat. So I'd like to show you CNN face when he said it. Oh is that a threat? I love CNN face. I don't think MSNBC is quite the same way but CNN always does the face. You know when I say Joy Reid or any of the people on MSNBC they're on right it seems like versions of their own face but on CNN it's like they're actors who have to act extra disgusted. Like the Jake Tapper face. And then Trump walked to a helicopter you know like they're farting and crying at the same time. So MSNBC has dumb face maybe anyway.
Yeah so they're trying to turn Trump into a dangerous insurrectionist because he pointed out the most obvious and well-known fact in the world that if you illegitimately jail a major political character people might protest. I don't know that might surprise you.
All right Trump's lawyer, his new lawyer, cleverly and smartly is demanding cameras in the courtroom. Can we give a hand for Trump's new lawyer? Cameras in the courtroom. Now should there be cameras in the courtroom? I don't know that's not the point. The point is if you're a new lawyer and you're going to be presenting your case as it's a ridiculous case and it's political, oh yeah whether or not you get cameras is also a second question but the first thing you should say is cameras. Because he just reframed the situation. His new lawyer just successfully framed the situation as an illegitimate government process. One in which you can't trust that unless you better get some cameras in there so the public can protect itself. Get some cameras in there. We want some cameras now.
Does the person who's accused of a crime usually ask for the cameras? Yes or no? The person who's the defendant, when does the defendant ask for cameras? I've never heard of it. Have you? Have you ever heard of it? It's a baller play. Imagine being so confident of your case. Now this is what he would portray. We don't know if he's confident. We know he's portraying confidence. Just to, that's a good lawyer. So first step we see in the public, the innocent man wants cameras in the courtroom. Perfect. Good job.
All right by the way his new attorney is named John Lauro. Normally I wouldn't even care what his lawyer's name is but he's a good lawyer so maybe you should know his name so far anyway. That's a good move.
All right so President Biden has overruled the Pentagon for choosing a new member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. So they recommended some gentleman I don't know his name but Biden picked Admiral Lisa Franchetti to lead the Navy. So she'd be the first woman if she's confirmed to be a Pentagon service chief and the first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. So the Pentagon wanted somebody else. So does that sound like a diversity hire to anybody? Just asking. Does anybody interpret this as she's clearly not the person for the job? Yeah.
Now I feel bad for her. Would she be, she's admiral. She's not a rear admiral. I'm not sure what a rear admiral is but it's probably lucky she isn't one. But it could be that she's actually the best person for the job. I wouldn't rule it out. It's possible. You know maybe Biden is really good at hiring. Maybe she's the best one for the job but nobody's going to believe it. Should you hire people for your Joint Chiefs of Staff if the public assumes that they're unqualified? Now pretend that they think she is but nobody really believes that do they privately? You think somebody privately would say yeah I think they focused on picking the right person? I doubt it. I doubt anybody would think that.
And again this is terribly unfair if it turned out that Admiral Franchetti is actually really great. They're terribly unfair. And did I create the situation? I'm just reading the news. He created the situation where he very overtly and with nothing hidden chose somebody based on gender primarily.
Let me ask you an even more provocative question. Do you think women should be heads of any military service? I want to see if anybody says yes. Somebody says yes if they're gay. Okay that's not fair. All right almost everybody's saying no. Now is that just because you're a conservative? I see one yes. Is that because you're a conservative group or do you think this would be a general feeling? I mean I don't think it would not be among the progressives. I feel the military is the one place where the mission has to be first. I guess that's easy to say and it doesn't look like they're doing that.
So not only is Biden sleepwalking us into World War III but he's consciously, intentionally, and publicly making sure that we don't have the best people running the military. That's what it looks like. Would anybody disagree with that characterization that he's moving us close to war? That part I think you agree. I mean I'm not sure war will happen with Russia but clearly we're creeping that direction at the same time he's degrading the most important part which would be the decision-making and maybe even the trust. I don't know how you could be more incompetent more obviously and more publicly. It would be hard to imagine anybody starting or looking to crawl toward a war that could destroy all civilization while simultaneously promoting somebody who's clearly even according to the Pentagon not the right person.
So apparently we care about making women happy more than we care about defending even the country. Actually the priority is clear. So how in the world could he win re-election? It's just mind-boggling. Like if you just look at the objective facts it just doesn't look like it's possible but yeah we also don't trust the election so anything's possible.
Well I hesitate to bring up this next story but it's a big headline lately so I was a big sigh. RFK Jr. says that ivermectin totally works because there are 99 studies that show it does and that only a few studies that say it doesn't work and they were funded by Bill Gates and they have problems with them. He says further evidence of this is that there are two states in India one that used hydroxychloroquine I think it was. Some people had lots of vaccinations and there's a country in Africa I forget which one where they have a lot of problems with chloroquine and they did well without vaccinations.
Do you like his facts? Did those sound pretty credible? Do you think there's 99 studies that show it works and only a few that show it doesn't? And that Bill Gates funded them and that there are clear examples in the real world of where either hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin because you can just see it. You can see the area worked and you know there are they didn't use they didn't get the good result. Do you think that's true?
All right yes and no are the wrong answers. Yeah yes and no were both the wrong answers. There's no such thing as reliable data about this. There's no such thing. Bill Gates doesn't have reliable data. RFK Jr. doesn't have reliable data. I'm pretty sure that these 99 studies were observational and retrospective or very very small and flawed and that when somebody did a meta study where they sort of sum up all the studies you know they got some kind of an opinion but meta studies are basically astrology. It's not even science. I've said that argument too many times to do it again but it's basically what assumptions you make when you do the analysis the outcome. So it's not a science at all. You pick some assumptions and you're kind of done. It's just what assumptions you picked. So there's nothing about science that should flow from your assumption. It should flow from tests. If it flows directly from your assumptions well I assume this big test over here this is biasing the results. I assume that's worse than some of these little ones so I'll take this one out. It's not a science. It's somebody's assumption about things.
So I would say that RFK Jr.'s take on this would be the same as anybody's take who believed data or what data was accurate and what data was not. It's just not a thing. There's nobody you can look at any data and know anything about it about ivermectin because the topic itself is too politicized. You would just assume that it's distorted by money somehow one way or the other. So I'm not going to say that it works or it doesn't work. I'm going to stick with my opinion from the very beginning. I don't believe the data that says it works or that it doesn't work. I don't believe either one and I don't believe that we have any business.
Now actually let me amend that. We might actually have good data but you might never see it and you wouldn't know what was the good data versus the bad data. So anybody who has something like certainty that's the only wrong opinion. If you said to yourself you know I've looked at these studies I gotta say I'm leaning in RFK Jr.'s direction. I'm leaning in that direction. Perfectly reasonable. Do you get that? And if you said you were leaning the other direction perfectly reasonable. But leaning is as far as you can get, right? We're so far from actually knowing that it's the knowing that bothers me. And so I think RFK Jr. would be more solid if he said that I don't like any of the studies but there are enough studies that show that it was positive that wouldn't it be good to know for sure? Something like that. But the certainty I think is a little off-putting to me because I think that the data supports it. Certainly it might support leaning in one direction or the other.
All right Blaze Media which is no good friend to Fox News I guess broke the story that there's a match donation. Fox News so if you give some to your church I guess they'll match it. You give some money to this or that they'll match it. But apparently there was no limit on at least if it was a charitable entity that you could give to. So they found out that some people are giving to a satanic temple, something called the Trevor Project that must be bad for conservatives, Planned Parenthood the conservatives don't always like, and what else? Southern Law Center which is amazing.
Now is this a real story or is this a summer story? The details are probably right. I mean I would guess somebody did screenshots and it seems like it's well documented so I would say the facts are probably right. Probably right. Do you care? Do you care that there was some troll or even maybe just one person at Fox News who was literally a member of the satanic temple or thought it would be funny and gave a hundred dollars to it just to see if Fox News would match it? None of it matters. Fox News can give its money anywhere it wants. In this case it said we'll match it please want to give it and then they didn't put restrictions on them. Is that good or bad? Is it good or bad that Fox News did not put restrictions on charitable giving? It's good. It's good. It's not bad that the outcomes in this case would be sub-optimal to most people or some people at least. The satanic temple people you know be objectionable to most people but it doesn't really matter. That double donation from Fox News you're probably talking about two hundred dollars. Do you think you're talking about millions? You know that it would have been a flag if there was even one donation to any of these entities.
So am I angry that there's somebody at Fox News who's donating to Planned Parenthood? No. All that tells me is that Fox News is willing to hire people who have different opinions than some of them do. How is that even a problem? Now I get that there are customers and most of the hosts would be on one side of that issue but the fact that they're willing to hire you if you're on the other side of that issue is not a weakness. Does that feel like a weakness? It's totally a strength. So I'm going to back Fox News on this. I think Blaze Media is a little over their competitive skis. It's just a summer story again. It's a summersity. Nobody cares. Literally nobody cares.
All right here's another one. Did you know that DEI which had been diversity equity and inclusion now has an A at the end. They're sort of going the LGBTQ plus direction where you keep having to add letters. So they've added A to the end for accessibility. So that's DEIA anyway. The Wall Street Journal editorial board was talking about California community colleges are required to take into consideration you know the principles of DEI. And here are the bullet points from The Wall Street Journal of these specific things that these community colleges should do.
All right this is how seriously they take it. So the bullet points are promotes and incorporates DEI and anti-racist pedagogy. Pedagogy. Literally have never said that word out loud. Do you know why I've never said pedagogy? Pedagogy. Do you know I have never said that out loud? Because it's a douchebag word and I'm not a douchebag. Well maybe I am but I don't use that word. I had to correct myself. Maybe I am. I'm a bit of a douchebag but never use that word. Who are you writing for? Do you think that half of the readers of The Wall Street Journal know what that means? Pedagogy. They're probably no more than half. I'd guess 25 percent anyway.
So they're gonna promote and incorporate it. So promoting and incorporating so far so good, right? Because we knew that was happening. Promoting and incorporating. But let's see if it goes further. Develops and influences a pedagogy or a curriculum that promotes a race conscious and intersectional lens. That's bad. A race conscious teaching that should be exactly what you don't do. So that should be illegal but it so that would be illegal in Florida, right? The thing that's being recommended or actually required, the thing that's being required in California is literally illegal in Florida. Is that true? Is required here and illegal there? Can you think of any other law that's required in one state and illegal in another? Give me another example. Required in one state and illegal in another. Go.
Now guns are not required. Looting. Abortion is not required. Well I suppose it would be required to offer. You might be right about that. Income tax. Well you know state tax that's reaching. License to drive. No it's required everywhere. Pre-arranged crapping. Photo ID. It's not illegal to have photo ID. It's not illegal to put on a seat belt. It's not. Pot is not required anywhere. Yeah there's no other example is there, right? There are lots of examples of things that are legal in one and not legal in another but you can't come up with an example of something that is required, government required in one state and government illegal in another state. I want to see if you now voter ID. If you walk into the voter ID place and show your ID nobody's going to arrest you if it's not required. I think this is unique. That is required in one state and illegal in another but that should tell you something.
Contributes to DEI and anti-racism research and scholarship. Contributes to it. You have to contribute to the research and scholarship. What's that mean? You have to contribute to it like financially or you have to work toward it? A big deal. Advocates for and advances it. Most of these bullet points are just saying you got to work on it in different ways. I assume these bullet points were written by an unqualified person. Participates in a continuous cycle of self-assessment of one's growth and commitment to DEI and an acknowledgment of any internalized personal biases and racial superiority or inferiority. It's literally just mind control.
Based on this I would recommend that nobody go to college in California. Like you should just skip community college. This is the most absurdly inappropriate thing you could ever put in a college. Absurdly inappropriate but there we are.
All right lately there's been a bunch of stories about DEI professionals who have been fired or quit or downsized whatever and they usually show their picture. Have you noticed anything common or similar about the photos of the people working in that field? Actually a lot of them are white. Yeah yeah your first impression was it's going to be people of color but now there's actually a healthy number of them are white women. Mostly women. Have they all been women? Not all of them. Ninety percent. It's like 90 women isn't it? Yeah 90 women but that's not what I'm going for. You're talking about body weight? No I don't think the body weight. I haven't seen anybody overweight who's doing that job. In fact they all look normal weight. No it's not that. It's crazy faces. Crazy eyes. They are people with crazy eyes and crazy smiles. And the first few times I saw it I thought well that's just my imagination playing tricks with me or maybe it's just a coincidence but the more stories I see and the more of those pictures I'm starting to think it's like some other issues we talk about whereas it's mental illness that's just been systemized. It's systemic mental illness.
So we're fighting systemic racism which I believe is a real thing and important with systemic craziness. We're actually hiring the craziest people to work on an important issue. Now do you believe that you can tell if somebody is batshit crazy by looking at them? How many of you think you can tell by looking at them if somebody's crazy? As we evolved so that we can tell if somebody is sick or crazy or lying. Not every time but where we've evolved and need that skill you can spot them right away. And the DEI photos look like pictures of very unhealthy people, mentally unhealthy people.
Now so I'm just going to say it has nothing to do with race or gender. They do look like disturbed people who were drawn to a profession partly because of whatever is bothering them. That's what it looks like. Now I can't read minds. I have no poll information. There's no science behind it but I'm tired of ignoring it. I mean if every time I see pictures of DEI people and they look crazy how am I going to, how long do I have to ignore that? When can I point it out? Are we there? I mean I can do it. You can probably because I got free speech in a way you do not. So I asked myself if you were looking through all your photos you're looking for a good profile picture and as you're scrolling through your selfies you realize that you can't find one that doesn't have crazy eyes what's your best play?
I did a poll on this on Twitter. I gave people two choices. If all of your selfies have crazy eyes your two choices are hide all of your photos or become a DEI professional because apparently that's the one place where a crazy eye photo is perfectly acceptable. Oh yeah we'll hire this one. All right 88 said become a DEI professional and 12 said hide their photos.
All right here's an Ukraine update. Fairly early on in the Ukraine situation a lot of people were pro-Ukraine. They put their Ukrainian flags in their profiles and stuff. It was still literally fog of war. Things were just developing. Ukraine was an ally. Russia was not. You know so it made sense if the US and NATO were going in on a side that people would kind of take the side of the leaders. But a lot of time has transpired. We see now that so far we've not got a good result. The latest thinking is that nobody's going to do any counter-offensive or offensive to walk on land mines until the end of time and basically keep their borders the way they are.
So under these situations and the times going by and what we've learned about the Bidens taking money from Burisma allegedly etc. can we conclude that if you still have a Ukraine flag in your profile and you're not actually Ukrainian there's probably something wrong with you and probably you're deeply brainwashed? And somebody said today on Twitter you've heard it before but you know that they don't take seriously a thing that's said by anybody with a Ukraine flag in the profile. Now when people started saying that my first reaction was well that's a little bigoted or I don't know stereotyped or that's a little crazy but standing from today's perspective with what we know about the whole situation and lots of time has transpired and it doesn't look like we're getting any closer to a result kind of embarrassing to have that. And if you still have that in your profile I swear to God I can't take you seriously because it's almost like a tattoo on your forehead. This has brainwashed me. Brainwash me please. Hello could I please be brainwashed a little bit? Do believe whatever you're telling me as long as it costs a lot of money to buy a lot of weapons. The most important thing is we're buying weapons. Lots and lots of weapons. So that's what the Ukraine flag to me just looks like you're lost.
And again I think that you could be a reasonable person and have nuanced and different views on whether we should or should not be helping Ukraine. I think a reasonable person could be on either side of that even if I strongly disagree. Reasonable people are on both sides. But I wouldn't believe anybody was reasonable if they had a Ukraine flag in their profile. The first thing I think is oh I can't talk to you. But I'm sure there are equal things that people say about other people same kind of thing. That's just where I am at it that I can't take anybody seriously with that flag.
All right well the latest on the Ukraine situation is they're completely bogged down. The counter-offensive is not working. Russia is in no risk whatsoever of folding or falling apart. There are more stories about internal dissension and people being rounded up and all that stuff. I'm sure that's true but we haven't seen progression lately. And I don't think Russia is in trouble of any kind of coup. Does anybody think Russia actually is falling apart? As long as they have money they're not falling apart. Putin's firmly in control it looks like.
What's that? Elijah Wood talking about Zelensky's addiction? Is that on the news? It's not on serious drugs then I'd have to question his capability. If he's not at least on meth or some version of it, Adderall or something, if he's not on a performance-enhancing upper then he's the wrong person for the job. I'm just going to say that directly. I don't care how illegal those drugs are. If the guy who's in charge of saving your country isn't getting the energy he needs he better go get it. I just assume anybody in this situation is on some kind of meth or Adderall or some version of it. Don't you? You say cocaine but I don't know. Meth would be smarter in his case. I don't know if he's snorting anything but I would say for sure a person in that situation I would if I were him I would be on some kind of stimulant because there's no way he's ever going to go to sleep thinking he did enough work. Remember his life and death. You don't want somebody to say you know I'm going to get a good eight hours of sleep tonight. That's the last thing you want to hear from your war leader.
You know what I want to hear from my war leader? I've been up for three days. I'm still doing well. I don't feel like I need any sleep yet. And I say to myself okay well you're on meth. And then the second thing I say to myself is thank God I've got a leader who's awake. Do you want a sleepy Joe making your war decisions? Well yeah we'll send you some bombs.
Foreign. Good for him. Just means he loves his country and he doesn't want to sleep through a war. But I don't recommend drugs to you because keep in mind that if he's doing drugs and I just assume he is, I mean he would be smart enough to be on stimulants but I just wouldn't trust him if he's not. Yeah so you could have, there's a downside. Duh there's a downside to drugs. So he could get addicted. It could be really bad later in his life. He could die even. Overdose. You know he could have some. It's like all bad. I get it. But in terms of the risk reward I doubt anybody in this situation would not be on stimulants. Probably it's probably pretty common.
All right that's all ladies and gentlemen for YouTube. I'm gonna say bye to YouTube. Thanks for joining the best live stream of all time.
foreign good morning everybody and welcome to the high light of human civilization and uh if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that I don't think anybody can even imagine well all you need is a mug or a glass a tank of Chelsea style and the canteen Joker flask vessel levitic eye and fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee enjoy being now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dope means of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go ah yes let's go private over here well there's a lot of fun things to talk about um and uh let's see first of all there's an AI created clip of South Park so AI wrote directed and animated a little South Park episode I saw Brian romelli tweet saying that this was you know looking like the beginning of the end of Hughes creating well I didn't say it that way but it looked like the beginning of one person being able to create an animated series just tell it what topic and create some crease a little show for you however I watched that little show just to see how good a y a I was and uh it can't write it can't write at all right yeah I I consider it Ad Agency quality writing now if you're a professional writer that's like the deepest insult because ad agencies are the worst writers have you seen a commercial they don't hire humorists to write the commercial if you're an AJ Ad Agency you think you use skills so people who studied some I don't know advertising think they can write jokes so that's why all of your insurance commercials are so lame uh I've got a good idea for a joke how about I don't know let me think uh come up with something original original I'm working for the Ad Agency something nobody's seen on a commercial I've got it we're going to make a white male look like an idiot has anybody done that yet on an insurance commercial I feel like that'll be groundbreaking adult white male who's incompetent in everything I think that will be shocking and amazing uh people will be talking about it they could go viral that's what Ad Agency I think the ad agencies think what is everybody already done before that wasn't good and maybe we should do some more of that so the writing is terrible now ai of course can never write South Park for an obvious reason do you know the obvious reason because the only thing that makes South Park funny is that it's inappropriate that's all that's the whole joke I mean you're extremely clever and well written and yeah it's a it's a national treasure so South Park is amazing but it wouldn't be funny if they if they could never be inappropriate so so AI only can be appropriate and South Park is only funny if it's inappropriate how could it ever solve that it has nothing to do with how good AI could be it's limited by humans to never be good it's designed to be bad is actually designed not to be funny so that here's the other thing that I'm going to add that you just you won't see anywhere else as far as I know this is just my own personal theory that I've never seen anybody else say part of what makes you enjoy humor writing is imagining that the people who wrote it or in some cases performed it are going to get in trouble now you don't think of it that way but if you don't feel danger for the writer or the presenter then it doesn't it doesn't really uh trigger you it doesn't become viral it doesn't become anything it's the sense of danger of a human being that makes it interesting to us right because if you said to me you Scott there's something dangerous happening to a toaster a block away I'd say what yeah there's something to a toaster a block away and I'd say is it my toaster no a toaster well it's somebody's good toaster they're rooting no it's it's not even really a new toaster it's actually a broken toaster that somebody's abusing would you care no because it's a toaster you wouldn't care at all so when AI writes something even if it could say something at the moment it can but you could easily imagine you know they could teach it to do that if they taught it to be dangerous you would say to yourself so what there's a toaster in danger so AI is putting itself in danger by just repeating some patterns that we we take as provocative but nobody's in danger yeah you'll never want to watch AI art because you'll know it didn't come from a person because the amazing thing about art is that a human made it if you've ever been confused and thought that the amazing thing about art is that you enjoy looking at it do you think that do you think the reason that you look at the great Masters The Da Vinci's you think it's because you like how the picture looks literally nobody likes how those pictures look you you would you wouldn't buy that photo if it were if it were not made by da Vinci it's the fact that a human made it that's the entire art it's not art without that it's not the picture has no value even the greatest artists in the world you know the the Jackson Pollux you know depending the impressionist it doesn't even matter what what genre you're in the only thing that makes it art is that a human being made it and if you don't think that's going to be true for music as well that I don't think you understand music either music is interesting because your brain says wow people made that I would like to meet with those people that's it if you're the greatest composition and song that took any trick that you could make a hit song and put it all in one song so it had everything but you knew I ate it you'd listen to it once you say oh that was actually a pretty good song the AI made there you'd never be interested again because it because it wasn't from a human people are interested in themselves period if you don't understand that then then you don't understand really anything about your people about to care about themselves and that's that's the end of the analysis now you say Scott Scott that's crazy they care about their that's caring about themselves their family is just an extension of themselves right if somebody in your family dies that hurts you right they're not just separate entities although they're also that they are you right when you see somebody who looks like you getting hurt that's you that's you the reason you care less it's terrible to say it you care less if somebody looks the least like you if they get hurt I hate to say it but it's just the way we're all wired the more somebody's like you the more they are you in your mind and the more you care about them and a is the the most unlike you that it could be it just doesn't matter stuff that looks like you if you had a photograph a photograph of a person would you like love it and want to fall in love with it no it's just a photograph it's just an image so I think all of the technologists are missing the maybe the biggest part of what AI is trying to master the biggest part is that we will never be interested in a machine's work we will use AI to do functional stuff that makes things faster you know does things faster basically just you know better or faster more convenient that would be great but no it's not going to do art it's not going to do art because it can't under any condition you can't do it because you never wanted to look at the picture and you never wanted to hear the song if if you don't understand that and you never wanted to hear the joke you don't care about the joke the song or the picture you care that a human made them and you wonder about the human you put yourself in position you know you couldn't make those things they impress you you want to make that's but without that understanding the whole field of AI at least the art related part of it is just absurd it's just demonstrations of things that will never be real but AI still has lots of useful purposes but I don't think art right away is going to be part of that all right um so Rand Paul's office in Kentucky was destroyed by a fire I don't know if they figure out the cause of that yet do we know if that was arson is there a climate change all right you got me I was not expecting to laugh at that climate change that was kind of perfect that's like the old joke about typing the the comments showed up I think it was the timing of the comment it was just like the moment I said climate change all right that was pretty funny uh it wasn't climate change but I'm seeing the comments we don't know what it was right so there's is there some suggestion that it might have been intentional is that still there's still a possibility or not well I'd like to say that um Rand Paul he seems unkillable so so far he survived a mass shooting right during the softball game he was a Survivor that he survived being attacked by his viciously attacked by his neighbor survive that and sort of survive coven somehow somehow we survived covet I'm not I don't even think he ever double massed and somehow he lived anyway but um and now his office is destroyed by fire you have to ask yourself you know and of course there were coincidental things he was going to go after fauci and he doesn't like the war in Ukraine so there's always a reason there's always a political race that would be true of most of the prominent Senators at any time I would just like to say he's the maybe one of the bravest people who's ever worked in government I mean he's a brave mofo I I just like I'd just like to take a moment acknowledge that when people take these jobs it's not always for the power sometimes they're Patriots Rand Paul as far as I can tell isn't doing it for the money as far as I can tell I don't see any indications to that and he takes difficult stands which I believe are completely um principle driven even when I don't agree with them when I disagree with them generally he'll State his principle and I'll go okay well that's consistent so even even when I don't like his opinions I like his opinions can you say that about everybody you can't I would say it about RFK Jr when I don't like his opinions or don't agree with him still totally respected because he shows his work right he says it's this study this is why I believe it that's all I'll ask of anybody I don't ask you to be right all the time that would be unreasonable so Rand Paul's in my you know sort of highest level of government credibility he puts his life on the line doesn't walk away doesn't appear to be lying about anything can you even think of a time he was accused of blind I don't think he's even been ever accused it's like it doesn't seem to be part of his deal he's just trying to make something better it looks like to me so just uh kudos to one politician who while I don't agree with everything he says that's not really mentioning Thomas Massey who is somebody I also often call out for uh extra respect because of the rational the rational approach he's bringing again now somebody I'll agree with every time but he always brings the goods always brings the argument right and that it's never silly it's never stupid sometimes you just don't agree priority is different or something but smart people good Patriots I'm glad we have them all right let's talk about summer news you know what summer news is it's the kind that's mostly made up just so we have something to talk about in the summer well along that those lines uh are probably drunken vice president I'll just say probably because she acts like she's drunk in public but that's all I know for sure right I don't know she is I just know she acts like a drunk and if you're not asking the question is she actually drunk I I believe you're not doing your job as a good citizen as a citizen who's you know has any interest in the company country I feel like it's a fair question are you drunk right now in fact in 2023 it's the most it's the most reasonable question you can ask as soon as you get into a disagreement on social media I've taught you this before If a troll comes after you in the comments and you're sure they're just it's like they they don't want to understand they're probably drunk like actually literally if you looked at you know the population of the planet at any given time from the afternoon to the evening what percentage of people who drive by you on the highway are drunk probably 10 percent probably 10 what percentage of people on social media are the ones who are the terrible trolls no different it's probably not a coincidence you know that that the the amount of Alcoholics of the amount of trolls seems to be similar so it won't bother you as much to see a troll a comment if you just say to yourself probably drunk you wouldn't be wrong a lot but uh drug Kamala Harris was railing about the State of Florida allegedly having in their new curriculum something that is insulting to black people and anybody who cares about black people because it said quote uh let's see how is she I want to see how she paraphrased it um she said quote just yesterday in the State of Florida they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery now do you do you think that that was true do you need me to do an extended explanation of why that didn't happen why why Florida isn't actually teaching people that slavery was sometimes good do I need to get into any of the details or will you stipulate that it's obvious on the surface that nothing like that happened you know nothing like that happened right all right so here's the closest thing that did happen so this is summer news this is somebody misinterpreting something in a really obvious way like a real obvious misinterpretation and then getting really angry about it so first comes the misinterpretation and then there's the mock anger do you think she's really angry do you think she woke up and thought oh I'm so angry about this no no she's not angry and nobody who's talking about it cares it's just summer news it's just something to talk about here here's the actual statement from part of the curriculum I guess uh it says quote instruction um so I guess the teachers are being instructed how to teach the history instruction includes house slaves develop skills in which in some instances could be applied for their personal benefit so slaves developing skills that could be applied for their personal benefit turned into uh why is Florida saying that the slavery was good for slaves do you know what this personal benefit means in context if you keep it in context do you know what personal benefit means it means I'll give you an example this is my understanding it means that if you were a slave working in the field which you can imagine would be you know among the worst of these slave jobs if you could figure out a way to let's say learn how to repair wagons right or to shoe a horse right put horseshoes on a horse probably better work so that would be a case where a slave could go from the worst thing you could possibly do do something a little less worse still a Slave nobody thinks that literally nobody thinks that and Kamala Harris doesn't think it nobody who agrees with her in claps like say a lot none of them believe it they might act like they believe it they might argue with you yeah with Stern looks but they don't believe it this is just summer news how about that Jason Aldean song that people are calling her a racist how many of them do you think actually believe there's some in the song that's racist probably nobody no I've said that even I like got the vibe but when you look at it you're looking for the racist stuff it's just clearly not there but I can see why it's provocative so if somebody said hey the media has primed us to have a bad reaction material that's that's a good take that's a good take but if you say it was racist and yet there's not a single image you could point to that would back that or song or there's nothing in the in the words or the imagery that would suggest that this is just summer news if you got even a little bit worked up about the Jason Aldean situation you were getting worked up by drunken trolls and people who just need something to talk about none of this stuff is real it just isn't all right I told you that I agreed to talk to Roseanne on her upcoming part podcast I was thinking about Roseanne the other day so thinking about what she got canceled for and I don't I don't need to you know go into this specifics because you probably remember them anyway but do you think that in the real world there's even one person who believed honestly the Roseanne was bigoted I I think they accused her being anti-semitic and at one point of uh offending a black woman that she didn't know was black nobody oh but you couldn't find one person in the entire world and certainly nobody knows her you're like I'll bet you couldn't find one person who would back that oh yeah in private oh yeah you should see what she says in private and I said the same thing about myself when I got canceled the first thing that happens when you get canceled you all know this they look through your entire history to find out all the supporting bad things you did that for some reason nobody noticed until now and when you sum them all up oh my God this new thing must really be indicative of your nature did you notice that there was none of that for her none of that for me none you don't you don't think that people poured over everything we did as soon as we got canceled of course they did and what they find Decades of the opposite decades Decades of consistently being the opposite of the accusation and still that fact doesn't the or the story don't you think the poor the story should be well after 40 years of being this way there was this one thing that people thought might invalidate that 40 years none of this is real there's nobody who cares about Roseanne's opinion or mine do you think there's anybody who woke up and it's like you know I was gonna have a good day but there was this cartoonist who said that thing that I took out of context and now I can't have a good day no nobody cares about my opinion they they use the opinions of famous people as just a focus point to put their own views into it so it's never about the person they're just a conduit for people's opinions and that's about it don't take any of it seriously unless you get canceled in anyone all right um so as you know Vivek ramaswamy is getting a lot of attention for a great campaign a lot of people who like Trump probably are liking him as well maybe not as much right maybe they still prefer Trump but the the Venn diagram of people who think you know they like Trump's Vibe or at least what he's offering policy wise they're liking the fake for similar reasons but if you want if you want to hear the best reason yeah this this might be the moment when I went from uh liking Vivek a lot to loving him I think I've crossed over to some kind of man love all right here's what he tweeted after there was yet another embarrassing Kamala Harris video so Vivek tweets that Kamala Harris makes the most powerful case I'll see in my lifetime against race and gender quotas and government if only she knew it wow I don't think has anybody accept Trump ever said something that Direct that's really direct yeah Standing Ovation right now this this tweet didn't make a much of a impact when he did it was it two days ago can you imagine in any other world that two days ago he could say this that Carmel Harris is a the best argument in his whole lifetime against race and gender quotas in government he said it as directly as you could say it you know why there was no controversy or pushback everybody agreed yeah now Trump trump made the arms a little bigger so now you can play inside his space right so because Trump is so brutally you know Frank on his opinions it just made it acceptable that you can play Within those Realms he's he's already created so I don't think Vivek could have said this I don't know six years ago I think it would be the end of his career but today you can say it not only because it's obviously true but because our conversation has been broadened so you can now say that and you can actually just go on with your life now I'd like to endorse that so I can say it too a couple errors is obviously a diversity higher obviously obviously now that doesn't mean that all diversity hires are going to be incapable like she is literally nobody thinks that but some but surely in our you know weird world where you protect everybody you know pretend to have opinions somebody's going to pretend that I think that if you're a minority hire you could not be qualified literally nobody believes that literally nobody yet that's the way we play it we act as if there's somebody who actually has that opinion have you ever met anybody who had the opinion that you couldn't have a qualified black vice president it's not even a thing literally you couldn't find one functioning brain that would have that opinion nobody but can you say the Kamala Harris is somewhat obviously not qualified yeah you could say that it's pretty obvious to everybody I'm sure I'm sure the Democrats see it as well as we do I mean the honest ones so kudos to Vivek for being so direct this fits perfectly in his uh in his policy preferences to get rid of all hiring preferences so it's right on Target and again he's just killing it he's killing it now um the most dickish thing you can say in these situations I'm going to say it anyway because you know all the candidates are running for first place nobody's running to be a vice president right but it has to be said he would be perfect for Trump you would be perfect uh my microphone is plugged in so if you're hearing it low there's some problem on your end the You.
Tube Sound is actually better than the other sound all right um so Trump was uh did a little video about Biden basically he's saying that Biden is a sleepover sleepwalking us into World War III and it's all because of a country that gave the bidens millions of dollars now I gotta say again the Trump is the best as simple framing we've never seen this before like a lot a lot of people are good in smart and good at framing you know if they're fake is great at it but this is just like other world Leaf right it's just he gets right to like that feeling you feel like he skips all the intellectual stuff it goes right at that thing you're feeling in your chest this is exactly what I feel in my chest that we've got a president who's sleepwalking us into World War III for the benefit of a country that gave him millions of dollars through Barista primarily that's exactly what it feels like and so so Trump is that the exact thing you're thinking as you're thinking it damn he's just so good at that just take a moment to appreciate and again you know I'm not I'm not going to be slobbering all over Trump's you know entire package so to speak that was poorly worded uh I'm gonna I'm gonna try to call um you know the I'm going to call this races objectively as I can right so I'm going to say good things about anybody who's doing good things including Biden if he does some good things all right uh but you can't beat Trump for simple framing all right there's a story my favorite summer story so far is that Hunter Biden went to visit his lawyer and of course wherever he goes that Paparazzi are there and so his lawyer his lawyer comes out on his balcony and smokes a bond in the photographers are getting a picture of the lawyer smoking a bong well a whole Hunter's inside doing God knows what do you know what the funniest part of the story was this is my favorite part of the story the Press said they didn't know what was in the bong well um nobody asked me to be an extra witness in this case but I volunteer uh if you'd like you could interview me to see what my feelings are about what was in the bong in fact I'll ask Dale to do just that Dale could you interview me and ask me what's in that bong well we see it's a bong but uh we don't have any information whatsoever about the content of what he's smoking it was a bong and scene no there's not really a second thing you smoke out of a bong not really I mean maybe it's happened once but I don't think it was lettuce yeah I don't think he was looking through through the ingredients in his kitchen he was like paprika I wonder I wonder no I don't think that happened smoked a bomb would uh would this be a story if he'd had a glass of wine on the balcony anybody if if he'd been photographed with a glass wine with dinner nobody would care is marijuana illegal in California where this alleged bonging happened totally legal totally legal it's a nonsense and uh just a personal note if I were Hunter Biden's lawyer I don't know how I would do it without doing bongs I mean I think there's a way but it's not obvious to me so yeah it's just personal um so the Box trial the Mar-A-Lago boxes oh secrets now you remember all the secrets that are in the boxes right do I do I have to go over it again all the secrets that they've told us are in the boxes oh wait nobody has told us there's anything in the boxes no nothing at all we don't have a single piece of information that there's even one thing in a box that anybody would care about I'm not saying there isn't but isn't that interesting then nobody can even give us a for instance how about just a for instance well we can't but I will tell you there was a detailed battle plan for Iran okay don't need to tell me the battle plan that would be cool but just there's something like that in the Box anything just anything what's your worst one you don't even have to tell me everything in the Box just pick your worst thing nuclear secrets is it the nuclear secrets I don't know but the timing is exact but generally speaking the Republicans would be done so we would have a situation where Trump would be the Nazi but also possibly a convicted felon uh potentially facing jail time if his appeal failed right so you assume if he got convicted there would be an appeal so that he would still become president there's nothing that would stop him from being president right even if he got convicted If he if he were out on Bell or he's appealing it I mean it's not like he's a Flight Risk right is Trump a Flight Risk where can he hide he's the least flight risky guy of all time you wouldn't even need bail would you I don't think you would you just say all right we everybody's keeping an eye on you well um so this is my first exposure to the details of this story but can somebody answer this question doesn't this give him perfect timing to use the prosecution as part of his campaign to to say the government is corrupt and trying to rig the election by taking him out so wouldn't it help him in the election at the same time he could just pardon himself after it's done I would vote for him just to Pardon himself I would I would vote for him just to Pardon himself policies I just vote for him to Pardon himself that would be the end because I don't see the prosecution as being something that would have happened with another person I'm not saying he did or did not commit any technical violations it might have been in fact probably I just don't think they rise to the level the you know response so I think I think so far it looks like it could work in his favor because they're never going to tell you what's in the boxes they're just going to wave their hands dangerous boxes and eventually the longer you go without hearing what's in the box the less likely you think there's anything you care about yeah there might be some secrets but do they matter does anybody care I doubt it all right Trump has said that there are a lot of passionate voters out there more passionate than ever and things would be quote things quote would be very dangerous if you went to prison now I'd like to show you the faces of the people on CNN when they heard Trump say the most obvious thing in the world that it could be dangerous if one of the leading candidates is put in jail on charges that don't look credible now CNN decided that that was a threat so I'd like to show you CNN face when he said it oh is that uh uh a threat I love CNN face I don't think MSNBC is quite the same way but CNN always does the face you know when I say you Joy read or uh any of the people in MSNBC their own right it seems like you know versions of their own face but on CNN it's like they're actors who have to act extra disgusting disgusted like the Jake Tapper face and then Trump walked to a helicopter you know like like they're they're and fart and cloth at the same time so MSNBC has dumb face Maybe anyway um yeah so that trying to turn Trump into a dangerous insurrectionist because he pointed out the most obvious and well-known fact in the world that if you illegitimately jail a major political character people might protest I don't know that might surprise you all right uh Trump's lawyer his new lawyer cleverly and smartly is demanding uh cameras in the courtroom can we give a hand for Trump's new lawyer or play that right cameras in the courtroom now should there be cameras in the courtroom I don't know that's not the point the point is if you're a new lawyer and you and you're going to be presenting your case as it's a it's a ridiculous case and it's political oh yeah whether or not you get cameras is also a second question but the first thing you should say is cameras because he just reframed the situation his new lawyer just successfully framed the situation as an illegitimate government process one in which you can't trust that unless you better get some cameras in there so the public can protect itself get some cameras in there we want some cameras now does the person who's accused of a crime usually asks for the cameras yes or no the person who's the defendant when does the defendant ask for cameras I've never heard of it have you have you ever heard of it it's a baller play imagine imagine being so confident of your case now that this is what he would portray we don't know if he's confident we know he's portraying a confidence just to this uh that's a good lawyer so first step you know the first step we see in the public bullseye the innocent man wants cameras in in the courtroom perfect good job all right uh let's see uh by the way his new attorney is named John lauro normally I wouldn't even care what his lawyer's name is but he's a good lawyer so maybe you should know his name so far anyway that's a good movie all right um so President Biden has overruled the Pentagon for choosing his uh a new member of The Joint Chief staff so they recommended some gentleman I don't know his name uh but Biden picked Admiral Lisa francetti to lead the Navy so she'd be the first woman if she's confirmed to be a pentagon Service Chief and the first female member of The Joint Chiefs of Staff um so uh the Pentagon wanted somebody else so uh does that sound like a diversity hire to anybody just asking does anybody interpret this as she's clearly not the person for the job yeah uh now I feel bad for um for would she be she's Admiral she's not a rear Admiral I'm not sure what a rear Admiral is but it's probably lucky she isn't one but um it could be that she's actually the best person for the job I wouldn't rule it out it's possible you know maybe Biden is really good at hiring maybe she's the best one for the job but nobody's going to believe it should you hire people for your Joint Chiefs and staff if the public ly assumes that they're unqualified now pretend that they think she is but nobody really believes that do they privately you said you think somebody privately would say yeah I think I think they focused on picking the right person I doubt it I doubt anybody would think that and again this is terribly unfair if it turned out that Admiral franchetti is actually really great they're terribly unfair and did I create the situation I'm just reading the news he created the situation where he very overtly and with nothing hidden chose somebody based on gender primarily let me ask you an even more provocative question do you think women should be heads of any military service I want to see if anybody says yes somebody says yes if they're gay okay that's not fair all right uh almost everybody's saying no now is that just because you're a concern I see one yes is that because you're a conservative group or do you think this would be a general feeling I mean I don't think would not be among the progressives I feel the military is the one place where the mission has to be first I guess that's easy to say and it doesn't look like they're doing that so not only is Biden you you know sleepwalking us into World War III but he's consciously intentionally and publicly making sure that we don't have the best people running the military that's what it looks like would anybody disagree with that characterization that he's moving Us close to war that part I think you agree I mean I'm not sure war will happen with Russia but clearly we're you know creeping that direction at the same time he's degrading the most important part which would be the decision-making and maybe even maybe even the trust I don't know how you could be more incompetent more obviously and more publicly it would be hard to imagine anybody starting you know or looking to crawl toward a war that could destroy all civilization while simultaneously promoting somebody who's clearly even according to the Pentagon not not the right person yeah so um apparently we care about making women happier happy more than we care about defending even the country it actually the priority is clear so how in the world could he win re-election it's just mind-boggling like if you just look at the objective facts it just doesn't look like as possible but yeah we also don't trust the election so anything's possible well I hesitate to bring up this next story but it's a big headline lately so I was a big sigh RFK JR says that Ivermectin totally works because there are 99 studies that show it doesn't the Show does and that only a few studies that say it doesn't work and they were funded by Bill Gates and they have problems with them he says further evidence of this is that there are two states in India one that used uh hydroxychloroquine I think it was did some people had lots of vaccinations and there's a country in Africa I forget which one where they have a lot of problems fireworks chloroquine and they did well without vaccinations uh do you like his facts did those sound pretty credible do you think there's 99 studies the show works and only a few of the show don't it don't it doesn't um and that Bill Gates funded them and that there are clear examples in the real world of where either hydroxychloroquine or I've I've worked because you can just see it you can see the area worked and you know there are they didn't use they didn't get the good result do you think that's true all right yes and no are the wrong answers yeah yes and no we're both the wrong answers there's no such thing as reliable data about this there's no such thing Bill Gates doesn't have reliable data RFK Junior doesn't have reliable data I'm pretty sure that these 99 studies were um observational and retrospective or very very small and flawed and that when somebody did a meta a meta study where they sort of sum up all the studies you know they got some kind of an opinion but meta studies are basically astrology it's not even science I I've said that argument too many times to do it again but is basically what assumptions you make when you do the analysis the outcome so it's not a science at all you pick some assumptions and you're kind of done it's just what assumptions you picked so there's nothing about science that should flow from your assumption right issue from tests if it flows directly from your assumptions well I assume this big test over here this biasing the results I assume that's worse than some of these little ones so I'll take this one out it's not a science it's somebody's assumption about things so um I would say that RFK Juniors take on this would be the same as anybody's take who believed data or what data was accurate and what data was not it's just not a thing there's nobody you can look at any data and know anything about it about ivermected because the the topic itself is too politicize you would just assume that it's distorted by money somehow one word so I'm not going to say that it works or it doesn't work I'm going to stick with my opinion from the very beginning I don't believe the data that says it works or that it doesn't work I don't believe either one and I don't believe that we have any business now actually let me amend that we might actually have good data but you might never see it and you wouldn't know what was the good data versus the bad data so anybody who has something like certainty that's the only wrong opinion if you said to yourself you know I've Loved These studies I gotta say I'm I'm leaning in RFK RK Juniors direction I'm leaning in that direction perfectly reasonable do you get that and if you said you were leaning the other direction perfectly reasonable but leaving is as far as you can get right we're so far from actually knowing that it's the knowing that bothers me and so I think RFK Jr would be more solid if he said that I don't like any of the studies but there's another there are enough studies that show that it was positive that wouldn't it be good to know for sure something like that but the certainty I think is a little off-putting to me because I think that the day supports it certainly it might support leading in One Direction or the other all right uh Blaze media which is no good friend to Fox News I guess um the broken story that there's a matched donation Fox News so if you give some your I know your church I guess they'll match it you give some money to this or that they'll match it but um apparently there was no limit on at least if it was a charitable uh entity that you could give to so they found out that some people are giving to a satanic temple something called the Trevor Project that must be bad for conservatives Planned Parenthood the conservatives don't always like uh and what else Southern Southern Law Center which is amazing now is this a real story or is this a summer story the details are probably right I mean I would guess I somebody somebody did you know screenshots and you know it it seems like it's well documented so I would say the facts of probably right probably right do you care do you care that there was some troll uh or even maybe just one person that Fox News who was literally a member of the satanic temple or thought it would be funny and gave a hundred dollars to him just to see if Fox News would match it none of it matters Fox News can give us money anywhere it wants in this case it said we'll give it please want to give it and then they didn't put restrictions on them is that good or bad is it good or bad that Fox News did not put restrictions on charitable giving it's good it's good it's not bad that the outcomes in this case would be sub-optimal to you know most people or some people at least the satanic temple people you know be objectionable to most people but it doesn't really matter that double donation from Fox News you're probably talking about two hundred dollars do you think you're talking about Millions you know that it would have been a flag if there was even one donation to any of these entities so and am I angry that there's somebody at Fox News who's donating to Planned Parenthood no all that tells me is that Fox News is willing to hire people who have different opinions than some of them do how is that even a problem now I get that there are customers and most of the hosts would be out of one side of that issue but the fact that they're willing to hire you if you're on the other side of that issue is not a weakness does that feel like a weakness it's totally a strike so I'm going to back Fox News on this I think Blaze media is a little over there competitive skis it's just a summer again it's a summersity nobody cares literally nobody cares all right here's another one uh did you know that d d e i which had been diversity equity and inclusion now as an a at the end they're sort of going the lgbtq plus Direction where you keep having to adolescence so they've added a to the end for accessibility so that's uh d-e-i-a anyway the Wall Street Journal editorial board was talking about a uh let's say uh there's California community colleges are required to take into consideration you know the principles of Dei and you're the bullet points from The Wall Street Journal of these specific things that these community colleges should do all right this is how seriously they take it so the bullet points are promotes and incorporates Dei and anti-racist pedagogy pedagogy literally have never said that word out loud do you know why I've never said pedagogy pedagogy do you know I have never said that out loud because it's a douchebag word and I'm not a douchebag well maybe I am but I don't use that word I had to correct myself maybe I am I'm a bit of a douchebag but never use that word who are you writing for do you think that half of the readers of the Wall Street Journal know what that means pedagogy pedagogy they're probably no more than half I'd guess 25 percent anyway so they're gonna let's say promote and incorporate it so promoting and incorporating so far so good right because we knew that was happening promoting and incorporating but let's see if it goes further develops and influence a pedagogy okay you and or a curriculum they're and or curriculum uh that promotes are race conscious and intersectional lens um that's bad a race conscious teaching that should be exactly what you don't do so that should be illegal but it so that would be illegal in Florida right the thing that's being recommended or actually required the thing that's being required in California is literally illegal in Florida is that true is required here and illegal there can you think of any other any other law that's required in one state and illegal in another give me another example required in one statement illegal in another go now guns are not required looting abortion is not required well I suppose it'd be required to offer you might be right about that income tax well you know state tax uh that's that's reaching license to drive now it's required everywhere pre-arrange crapping photo ID it's not illegal to have photo ID it's not illegal to put on a seat belt it's not pot is not required anywhere yeah there's no other example is there right there are lots of examples of things that are legal in one and not legal another but you can't come up with an example of something that is required government required in one state and government illegal in another state I want to see if you now voter ID if you walk into the voter ID place and show your ID nobody's going to arrest you if it's not required I think this is unique that is required in one state and illegal in another but that should tell you something all right um contributes to Dei and anti-racism research and scholarship contributes to it you have to contribute to the in to the research and scholarship what's that mean you have to contribute to it like financially or you have to work toward it a big deal advocates for and advances it most of these bullet points are just saying you got to work on it in different ways I assume these bullet points were written by a unqualified person uh participates in a continuous cycle of self-assessment of one's growth and commitment to Dei an acknowledgment of any internalized personal biases and racial superiority or inferiority it's literally just mind control based on this I would recommend that nobody go to college in California like you should just skip Community College this is the most absurdly inappropriate thing you could ever put in a college absurdly inappropriate but there we are all right um lately there's been a bunch of stories about Dei professionals who have been fired or quit or downsized whatever and they usually show their picture have you noticed anything common or similar about the photos of the people working in that field actually a lot of them are white yeah yeah your your first impression was it's going to be you know people of color but now there's actually you know a healthy number of them are white um women mostly women have have they all been women not all of them ninety percent it's like 90 women isn't it yeah 90 women but that's not what I'm going for you're you're talking about body weight no I don't think the body weight I haven't seen anybody overweight who's doing that job in fact they all look normal weights me no it's not that it's crazy faces crazy eyes they they are people with crazy eyes and crazy smiles and the first the first few times I saw it I thought well that's just my imagination playing tricks with me or or maybe it's uh I don't know you know maybe it's just a coincidence but the more stories I see and the more of those pictures I'm starting to think it's like some other issues we talk about whereas it's mental illness that's just been systemized it's systemic mental illness so we're we're fighting systemic racism which I believe is a real thing and important with systemic craziness we're actually hiring the craziest people to work on an important issue now do you believe that you can tell if somebody is batshit Crazy by looking at them how many of you think you can tell by looking at them if somebody's crazy as as we evolved so that we can tell if somebody is sick or crazy or lying not every time but where we've evolved and need that skill you can spot them right away and the Dei photos look like pictures of very unhealthy people mentally unhealthy people now so I'm just going to say it has nothing to do with race or gender they do look like Disturbed to people who were drawn to they were drawn to a profession partly because of whatever is bothering that's what it looks like now I can't read minds you know I have no poll information there's no science behind it but I don't I'm tired of ignoring it I mean if if every time I see pictures of Dei people and they look crazy how am I gonna how long do I do I have to ignore that when can I point it out are we there I mean I can do it you can probably because I got free speech in a way you do not so I asked myself if if you were looking through all your photos you're looking for a good profile picture and as you're scrolling through your selfies you realize that you can't find one that doesn't have crazy eyes what's your best play I did a poll on this on Twitter I gave people two choices if all of your selfies have crazy eyes your two choices are uh hide all of your photos or become a Dei professional because apparently that's the one place where a crazy eye photo is perfectly acceptable oh yeah we'll hire this one all right uh 88 said become a Dei professional and 12 said hi dear photos all right uh here's an up Ukraine update fairly early on in the Ukraine situation a lot of people were pro-ukraine they put their Ukrainian flags and their profiles and stuff it was still literally fog of War things were just developing Ukraine was an ally Russia was not you know so it made sense if the US and NATO were going in on a side that people would kind of take the side of the leaders but a lot of time has transpired we see now that so far we've not got a good result the latest thinking is that nobody's going to do any counter-offensive or offensive to walk on land mines until the end of time and basically keep their borders the way they are so under these situations and the times going by and what we've learned about the bidens taking money from barisma allegedly Etc can we conclude that if you still have a Ukraine flag in your profile and you're not actually Ukrainian there's probably something wrong with you and probably you're deeply brainwashed and somebody said today on Twitter you've heard it before but you know that they don't take seriously a thing that's said by anybody with a Ukraine flag in the profile now when people started saying that my first reaction was well that's a little that's a little bigoted or I don't know stereotyped or that's a little crazy but standing from today's perspective with what we know about the whole situation and lots of time has transpired and it doesn't look like we're getting any closer to a result kind of embarrassing to have that and if you still have that in your profile I swear to God I can't take you seriously because it's almost like a tattoo on your forehead this has brainwash me brainwash me please hello could I please be brainwashed a little bit do believe whatever you're telling me as long as it costs a lot of money to buy a lot of weapons the most important thing is we're buying weapons lots of lots of weapons so that's what the Ukraine flag to me just looks like you're lost and again I I think that you could be a reasonable person and have nuanced and different views on you know whether we should or should not be helping Ukraine I think a reasonable person could be on either side of that even if I you know strongly disagree reasonable people are on both sides uh but I wouldn't believe anybody was reasonable if they had a Ukraine flag in their profile the first thing I think is oh I can't talk to you but I'm sure that I'm sure there are you know equal things that people say about other people same kind of thing that's just where I am at it that I can't take anybody seriously with that flag all right well the latest on the Ukraine situation is they're completely bogged down the counter-offensive is not working Russia is in no risk whatsoever folding or falling apart there are more stories about um internal dissension and people being rounded up and all that stuff I'm sure that's true but uh we haven't seen progression lately uh and I don't think Russia is in trouble of of any kind of coup does anybody think Russia actually is falling apart as long as they have money they're not falling apart yeah Putin's firmly in control it looks like what's that uh Elijah Wood talking about zelinski's addiction is that on the news it's not on serious drugs then I'd have to question his capability if he's not at least on math or some version of it Adderall or something if he's not on a if he's not on a performance in the end saying upper then he's the wrong person for the job I'm just going to say that directly I don't care how illegal those drugs are if the guy who's in charge of saving your country isn't uh you know getting the energy he needs he better go get it I just assume anybody in this situation is on some kind of meth or Adderall or some version of it don't you you say cocaine but I don't know you know meth would be smarter in his case I don't know if he's snorting anything but I would say for sure a person in that situation I would if I were him I would be on some kind of stimulant because there's no way he's ever going to go to sleep thinking he did enough work remember his life and death you don't want somebody to say you know I'm going to get a good eight hours of sleep tonight that's the last thing you want to hear from your War leader you know what I want to hear from my War leader I've been up for three days I'm still doing well don't I don't feel like I need any sleep yet and I say to myself okay well you're on math and then the second thing I say to myself is thank God I've got leaders awake do you want a sleepy Joe making your award decisions well uh yeah we'll send you some bombs uh foreign good for him just means he loves his country and he doesn't want to sleep through a war but I don't recommend drugs to you because keep in mind that if he's doing drugs and I just assume he is I mean he would be smart enough to be on stimulants but I just wouldn't trust him if he's not yeah so you could have you there's a downside duh there's a downside to drugs so he could get addicted it could be really bad later in his life he could die even overdose you know he could have um if he did too much he could have some it's like like all bad I get it but in terms of the risk reward I doubt anybody in this situation would not be on stimulants probably it's probably pretty common all right that's all ladies and gentlemen for uh You.
Tube I'm gonna say bye to You.
Tube thanks for joining the best live stream of all time
foreign
good morning everybody and welcome to
the high light
of human civilization
and uh if you'd like to take your
experience up to levels that I don't
think anybody can even imagine
well all you need is a mug or a glass a
tank of Chelsea style and the canteen
Joker flask vessel levitic eye and fill
it with your favorite liquid I like
coffee enjoy being now for the
unparalleled pleasure of the dope means
of the day the thing that makes
everything better it's called the
simultaneous Sip and it happens now go
ah
yes let's go private over here
well there's a
lot of fun things to talk about
um
and uh let's see first of all there's an
AI created clip of South Park
so AI wrote
directed
and animated a little South Park episode
I saw Brian romelli tweet saying that
this was you know looking like the
beginning of the end of Hughes creating
well I didn't say it that way but it
looked like the beginning of one person
being able to create an animated series
just tell it what topic and create some
crease a little show for you
however
I watched that little show
just to see how good a y a I was and
uh it can't write
it can't write at all
right yeah I I consider it Ad Agency
quality writing
now if you're a professional writer
that's like the deepest insult
because ad agencies are the worst
writers
have you seen a commercial
they don't hire humorists to write the
commercial
if you're an AJ Ad Agency you think you
use skills so people who studied some I
don't know advertising think they can
write jokes
so that's why all of your insurance
commercials are so lame
uh I've got a good idea for a joke how
about I don't know let me think uh come
up with something original original I'm
working for the Ad Agency something
nobody's seen on a commercial
I've got it
we're going to make a white male look
like an idiot has anybody done that yet
on an insurance commercial
I feel like that'll be groundbreaking
adult white male who's incompetent in
everything I think that will be shocking
and amazing uh people will be talking
about it they could go viral
that's what Ad Agency I think
the ad agencies think what is everybody
already done before that wasn't good and
maybe we should do some more of that
so the writing is terrible now ai of
course can never write South Park for an
obvious reason
do you know the obvious reason
because the only thing that makes South
Park
funny is that it's inappropriate
that's all that's the whole joke I mean
you're extremely clever and well written
and yeah it's a it's a national treasure
so South Park is amazing
but it wouldn't be funny if they if they
could never be inappropriate
so so AI only can be appropriate
and South Park is only funny if it's
inappropriate how could it ever solve
that it has nothing to do with how good
AI could be it's limited by humans to
never be good it's designed to be bad
is actually designed not to be funny
so
that here's the other thing that I'm
going to add that you just you won't see
anywhere else
as far as I know this is just my own
personal theory that I've never seen
anybody else say
part of what makes you enjoy
humor writing
is imagining that the people who wrote
it
or in some cases performed it are going
to get in trouble
now you don't think of it that way but
if you don't feel danger for the writer
or the presenter
then it doesn't it doesn't really uh
trigger you it doesn't become viral it
doesn't become anything
it's the sense of danger of a human
being that makes it interesting to us
right because if you said to me you
Scott there's something dangerous
happening to a toaster
a block away
I'd say what yeah there's something to a
toaster a block away and I'd say is it
my toaster
no a toaster
well it's somebody's good toaster
they're rooting no it's it's not even
really a new toaster it's actually a
broken toaster that somebody's abusing
would you care
no because it's a toaster you wouldn't
care at all so when AI writes something
even if it could say something
at the moment it can but you could
easily imagine you know they could teach
it to do that if they taught it to be
dangerous
you would say to yourself so what
there's a toaster in danger
so AI is putting itself in danger by
just repeating some patterns
that we we take as provocative but
nobody's in danger
yeah you'll never want to watch AI art
because you'll know it didn't come from
a person
because the amazing thing about art is
that a human made it
if you've ever been confused and thought
that the amazing thing about art is that
you enjoy looking at it
do you think that do you think the
reason that you look at the great
Masters The Da Vinci's you think it's
because you like how the picture looks
literally nobody likes how those
pictures look
you you would you wouldn't buy that
photo if it were if it were not made by
da Vinci
it's the fact that a human made it
that's the entire art
it's not art without that it's not the
picture has no value
even the greatest artists in the world
you know the the Jackson Pollux you know
depending the impressionist it doesn't
even matter what what genre you're in
the only thing that makes it art
is that a human being made it
and if you don't think that's going to
be true for music as well
that I don't think you understand music
either
music is interesting because your brain
says wow people made that I would like
to meet with those people
that's it
if you're the greatest composition and
song that took any trick that you could
make a hit song and put it all in one
song so it had everything
but you knew I ate it
you'd listen to it once
you say oh that was actually a pretty
good song the AI made there you'd never
be interested again
because it because it wasn't from a
human
people are interested in themselves
period
if you don't understand that then then
you don't understand really anything
about your people about to care about
themselves and that's that's the end of
the analysis now you say Scott Scott
that's crazy they care about their
that's caring about themselves
their family is just an extension of
themselves right if somebody in your
family dies that hurts you right they're
not just separate entities although
they're also that they are you
right when you see somebody who looks
like you getting hurt that's you
that's you the reason you care less
it's terrible to say it you care less if
somebody looks the least like you
if they get hurt I hate to say it but
it's just the way we're all wired the
more somebody's like you the more they
are you in your mind and the more you
care about them
and a is the the most unlike you that it
could be it just doesn't matter stuff
that looks like you if you had a
photograph
a photograph of a person
would you like love it and want to fall
in love with it no it's just a
photograph it's just an image
so
I think all of the technologists
are missing the maybe the biggest part
of what AI is trying to master
the biggest part is that we will never
be interested in a machine's work
we will use AI to do functional stuff
that makes things faster you know does
things faster basically just you know
better or faster more convenient that
would be great
but no it's not going to do art
it's not going to do art because it
can't
under any condition you can't do it
because you never wanted to look at the
picture and you never wanted to hear the
song
if if you don't understand that and you
never wanted to hear the joke
you don't care about the joke the song
or the picture you care that a human
made them and you wonder about the human
you put yourself in position you know
you couldn't make those things they
impress you you want to make
that's
but without that understanding the whole
field of AI at least the art related
part of it is just absurd it's just
demonstrations of things that will never
be real
but AI still has lots of useful purposes
but I don't think art right away is
going to be part of that
all right
um
so Rand Paul's office in Kentucky was
destroyed by a fire I don't know if they
figure out the cause of that yet
do we know if that was arson
is there a climate change
all right you got me I was not expecting
to laugh at that
climate change
that was kind of perfect
that's like the old joke about typing
the the comments showed up I think it
was the timing of the comment it was
just like the moment I said climate
change
all right that was pretty funny uh it
wasn't climate change but I'm seeing the
comments we don't know what it was right
so there's is there some suggestion that
it might have been intentional
is that still there's still a
possibility or not
well I'd like to say that
um Rand Paul
he seems unkillable
so so far he survived a mass shooting
right during the softball game he was a
Survivor that he survived being attacked
by his viciously attacked by his
neighbor
survive that
and sort of survive coven somehow
somehow we survived covet
I'm not I don't even think he ever
double massed and somehow he lived
anyway but
um and now his office is
destroyed by fire
you have to ask yourself
you know and of course there were
coincidental things he was going to go
after fauci and he doesn't like the war
in Ukraine so there's always a reason
there's always a political race that
would be true of most of the prominent
Senators at any time
I would just like to say he's the maybe
one of the bravest people who's ever
worked in government
I mean he's a brave mofo I I just like
I'd just like to take a moment
acknowledge
that when people take these jobs it's
not always for the power
sometimes they're Patriots
Rand Paul as far as I can tell
isn't doing it for the money
as far as I can tell I don't see any
indications to that and he takes
difficult stands
which I believe are completely
um principle driven even when I don't
agree with them when I disagree with
them
generally he'll State his principle and
I'll go
okay well that's consistent
so even even when I don't like his
opinions I like his opinions
can you say that about everybody
you can't I would say it about RFK Jr
when I don't like his opinions or don't
agree with him
still totally respected because he shows
his work
right he says it's this study this is
why I believe it
that's all I'll ask of anybody I don't
ask you to be right all the time that
would be unreasonable so Rand Paul's in
my
you know sort of highest level of
government credibility
he puts his life on the line
doesn't walk away
doesn't appear to be lying about
anything
can you even think of a time he was
accused of blind I don't think he's even
been ever accused
it's like it doesn't seem to be part of
his deal he's just trying to make
something better it looks like to me
so just uh kudos to one
politician who while I don't agree with
everything he says that's not really
mentioning Thomas Massey who is somebody
I also often call out for uh extra
respect
because of the rational the rational
approach he's bringing again now
somebody I'll agree with every time
but he always brings the goods
always brings the argument right and
that it's never silly it's never stupid
sometimes you just don't agree priority
is different or something but smart
people good Patriots
I'm glad we have them all right let's
talk about summer news
you know what summer news is it's the
kind that's mostly made up just so we
have something to talk about in the
summer
well along that those lines uh are
probably drunken vice president I'll
just say probably because she acts like
she's drunk in public
but that's all I know for sure
right I don't know she is
I just know she acts like a drunk and if
you're not asking the question is she
actually drunk
I I believe you're not doing your job as
a good citizen as a citizen who's you
know has any interest in the company
country
I feel like it's a fair question
are you drunk right now
in fact in 2023 it's the most it's the
most reasonable question you can ask
as soon as you get into a disagreement
on social media I've taught you this
before
If a troll comes after you in the
comments and you're sure they're just
it's like they they don't want to
understand
they're probably drunk like actually
literally
if you looked at you know the population
of the planet at any given time from the
afternoon to the evening what percentage
of people who drive by you on the
highway are drunk
probably 10 percent
probably 10 what percentage of people on
social media are the ones who are the
terrible trolls
no different
it's probably not a coincidence
you know that that the the amount of
Alcoholics of the amount of trolls seems
to be similar
so it won't bother you as much to see a
troll a comment if you just say to
yourself
probably drunk
you wouldn't be wrong a lot
but uh drug Kamala Harris was railing
about the State of Florida allegedly
having in their new curriculum something
that is insulting to black people and
anybody who cares about black people
because it said quote uh let's see how
is she I want to see how she paraphrased
it
um
she said quote just yesterday in the
State of Florida they decided middle
school students will be taught that
enslaved people benefited from slavery
now do you do you think that that was
true
do you need me to do an extended
explanation
of why that didn't happen
why why Florida isn't actually teaching
people that slavery was sometimes good
do I need to get into any of the details
or will you stipulate that it's obvious
on the surface that nothing like that
happened
you know nothing like that happened
right
all right so here's the closest thing
that did happen
so this is summer news this is somebody
misinterpreting something in a really
obvious way like a real obvious
misinterpretation and then getting
really angry about it
so first comes the misinterpretation and
then there's the mock anger do you think
she's really angry
do you think she woke up and thought oh
I'm so angry about this
no no she's not angry and nobody who's
talking about it cares
it's just summer news it's just
something to talk about here here's the
actual statement
from part of the curriculum I guess
uh it says quote instruction
um so I guess the teachers are being
instructed how to teach the history
instruction includes house slaves
develop skills in which in some
instances could be applied for their
personal benefit
so slaves developing skills that could
be applied for their personal benefit
turned into uh why is Florida saying
that
the slavery was good for slaves do you
know what this personal benefit means in
context
if you keep it in context do you know
what personal benefit means
it means I'll give you an example
this is my understanding it means that
if you were a slave working in the field
which you can imagine would be you know
among the worst of these slave jobs if
you could figure out a way to let's say
learn how to repair wagons
right or to shoe a horse right put
horseshoes on a horse
probably better work
so that would be a case where a slave
could go from the worst thing you could
possibly do do something a little less
worse still a Slave
nobody thinks that literally nobody
thinks that and Kamala Harris doesn't
think it nobody who agrees with her in
claps like say a lot
none of them believe it
they might act like they believe it they
might argue with you yeah with Stern
looks but they don't believe it this is
just summer news
how about that Jason Aldean song that
people are calling her a racist
how many of them do you think actually
believe there's some in the song that's
racist
probably nobody
no I've said that even I like got the
vibe but when you look at it you're
looking for the racist stuff it's just
clearly not there
but I can see why it's provocative
so if somebody said hey the media has
primed us to have a bad reaction
material that's that's a good take
that's a good take but if you say it was
racist and yet there's not a single
image you could point to that would back
that or song or there's nothing in the
in the words or the imagery that would
suggest that
this is just summer news
if you got even a little bit worked up
about the Jason Aldean situation you
were getting worked up
by drunken trolls and people who just
need something to talk about none of
this stuff is real
it just isn't
all right
I told you that I agreed to talk to
Roseanne on her upcoming part podcast I
was thinking about Roseanne the other
day so thinking about what she got
canceled for and I don't I don't need to
you know go into this specifics because
you probably remember them anyway but do
you think that in the real world there's
even one person
who believed honestly
the Roseanne was bigoted I I think they
accused her being anti-semitic and at
one point of uh offending a black woman
that she didn't know was black
nobody oh but you couldn't find one
person in the entire world and certainly
nobody knows her you're like I'll bet
you couldn't find one person who would
back that oh yeah in private oh yeah you
should see what she says in private and
I said the same thing about myself when
I got canceled
the first thing that happens when you
get canceled you all know this they look
through your entire history
to find out all the supporting bad
things you did that for some reason
nobody noticed until now and when you
sum them all up oh my God this new thing
must really be indicative of your nature
did you notice that there was none of
that for her
none of that for me
none you don't you don't think that
people poured over everything we did as
soon as we got canceled of course they
did and what they find
Decades of the opposite
decades Decades of consistently being
the opposite of the accusation
and still
that fact doesn't the or the story don't
you think the poor the story should be
well after 40 years of being this way
there was this one thing that people
thought might invalidate that 40 years
none of this is real
there's nobody who cares about
Roseanne's opinion
or mine
do you think there's anybody who woke up
and it's like you know I was gonna have
a good day
but there was this cartoonist
who said that thing that I took out of
context and now I can't have a good day
no nobody cares about my opinion they
they use the opinions of famous people
as just a focus point to put their own
views into it
so it's never about the person they're
just a conduit for people's opinions and
that's about it
don't take any of it seriously unless
you get canceled in anyone all right
um so as you know Vivek ramaswamy is
getting a lot of attention for a great
campaign a lot of people who
like Trump
probably are liking him as well maybe
not as much right maybe they still
prefer Trump but the the Venn diagram of
people who think you know they like
Trump's Vibe or at least what he's
offering policy wise they're liking the
fake for similar reasons
but if you want if you want to hear the
best reason
yeah this this might be the moment when
I went from uh liking Vivek a lot
to loving him
I think I've crossed over to some kind
of man love
all right here's what he tweeted after
there was yet another embarrassing
Kamala Harris video
so Vivek tweets
that Kamala Harris makes the most
powerful case I'll see in my lifetime
against race and gender quotas and
government if only she knew it
wow I don't think
has anybody accept Trump ever said
something that Direct
that's really direct yeah Standing
Ovation right now this this tweet
didn't make a much of a impact when he
did it was it two days ago
can you imagine in any other world that
two days ago he could say this
that Carmel Harris is a the best
argument in his whole lifetime against
race and gender quotas in government
he said it as directly as you could say
it you know why there was no controversy
or pushback
everybody agreed
yeah now Trump trump made the arms a
little bigger so now you can play inside
his space right so because Trump is so
brutally you know Frank on his opinions
it just made it acceptable that you can
play Within those Realms he's he's
already created so I don't think Vivek
could have said this I don't know
six years ago
I think it would be the end of his
career
but today you can say it not only
because it's obviously true but because
our conversation has been broadened so
you can now say that and you can
actually just go on with your life now
I'd like to endorse that
so I can say it too
a couple errors is obviously a diversity
higher
obviously
obviously
now that doesn't mean that all diversity
hires are going to be incapable like she
is
literally nobody thinks that
but some but surely in our you know
weird world where you protect everybody
you know pretend to have opinions
somebody's going to pretend
that I think that if you're a minority
hire you could not be qualified
literally nobody believes that
literally nobody yet that's the way we
play it we act as if there's somebody
who actually has that opinion
have you ever met anybody who had the
opinion that you couldn't have a
qualified black vice president it's not
even a thing literally you couldn't find
one functioning brain that would have
that opinion nobody
but can you say the Kamala Harris is
somewhat obviously not qualified yeah
you could say that it's pretty obvious
to everybody I'm sure I'm sure the
Democrats see it as well as we do I mean
the honest ones
so kudos to Vivek for being so direct
this fits perfectly in his uh
in his policy preferences to get rid of
all hiring preferences so it's right on
Target and again he's just killing it
he's killing it
now um
the most dickish thing you can say in
these situations I'm going to say it
anyway
because you know all the candidates are
running for first place nobody's running
to be a vice president right
but it has to be said
he would be perfect for Trump
you would be perfect
uh my microphone is plugged in so if
you're hearing it low there's some
problem on your end
the YouTube Sound is actually
better
than the other sound all right
um
so Trump was uh did a little video about
Biden basically he's saying that Biden
is a sleepover sleepwalking us into
World War III
and it's all because of a country that
gave the bidens millions of dollars
now I gotta say again
the Trump is the best
as simple framing
we've never seen this before
like a lot a lot of people are good in
smart and good at framing you know if
they're fake is great at it but this is
just like other world Leaf right it's
just he gets right to like that feeling
you feel
like he skips all the intellectual stuff
it goes right at that thing you're
feeling in your chest
this is exactly what I feel in my chest
that we've got a president who's
sleepwalking us into World War III
for the benefit of a country that gave
him millions of dollars through Barista
primarily
that's exactly what it feels like and so
so Trump is that the exact thing you're
thinking as you're thinking it
damn
he's just so good at that
just take a moment to appreciate
and again you know I'm not I'm not going
to be slobbering all over Trump's
you know entire package so to speak that
was poorly worded uh I'm gonna I'm gonna
try to call
um you know the
I'm going to call this races objectively
as I can right so I'm going to say good
things about anybody who's doing good
things including Biden if he does some
good things
all right uh but you can't beat Trump
for simple framing
all right there's a story
my favorite summer story so far is that
Hunter Biden went to visit his lawyer
and of course wherever he goes that
Paparazzi are there and so his lawyer
his lawyer comes out on his balcony and
smokes a bond in the photographers are
getting a picture of the lawyer smoking
a bong well a whole Hunter's inside
doing God knows what
do you know what the funniest part of
the story was this is my favorite part
of the story
the Press said they didn't know what was
in the bong
well
um
nobody asked me to be an extra witness
in this case
but I volunteer
uh
if you'd like you could interview me to
see what my feelings are about what was
in the bong in fact I'll ask Dale to do
just that
Dale
could you interview me and ask me what's
in that bong
well we see it's a bong but uh we don't
have any information whatsoever about
the content
of what he's smoking
it was a bong
and scene
no there's not really a second thing you
smoke out of a bong
[Laughter]
not really I mean maybe it's happened
once but I don't think it was lettuce
yeah I don't think he was looking
through through the ingredients in his
kitchen he was like
paprika
I wonder
I wonder
no I don't think that happened
smoked a bomb
would uh would this be a story if he'd
had a glass of wine on the balcony
anybody if if he'd been photographed
with a glass wine with dinner
nobody would care
is marijuana illegal in California where
this alleged bonging happened totally
legal
totally legal
it's a nonsense
and uh just a personal note
if I were Hunter Biden's lawyer I don't
know how I would do it without doing
bongs
I mean I think there's a way but it's
not obvious to me
so
yeah it's just personal
um so the Box trial the Mar-A-Lago boxes
oh secrets
now you remember all the secrets that
are in the boxes right do I do I have to
go over it again
all the secrets that they've told us are
in the boxes
oh wait
nobody has told us there's anything in
the boxes
no nothing at all we don't have a single
piece of information that there's even
one thing in a box that anybody would
care about
I'm not saying there isn't but isn't
that interesting then nobody can even
give us a for instance
how about just a for instance well we
can't
but I will tell you there was a detailed
battle plan for Iran
okay don't need to tell me the battle
plan
that would be cool but just there's
something like that in the Box
anything just anything what's your worst
one you don't even have to tell me
everything in the Box just pick your
worst thing nuclear secrets is it the
nuclear secrets
I don't know
but the timing is exact but generally
speaking the Republicans would be done
so we would have a situation where Trump
would be the Nazi but also possibly a
convicted felon
uh potentially facing jail time
if his appeal failed right so you assume
if he got convicted there would be an
appeal
so that he would
still become president
there's nothing that would stop him from
being president right even if he got
convicted
If he if he were out on Bell
or he's appealing it
I mean it's not like he's a Flight Risk
right is Trump a Flight Risk where can
he hide he's the least flight risky guy
of all time you wouldn't even need bail
would you
I don't think you would you just say all
right we everybody's keeping an eye on
you
well
um
so this is my first exposure to the
details of this story but can somebody
answer this question
doesn't this give him perfect timing
to use the prosecution as part of his
campaign to to say the government is
corrupt and trying to rig the election
by taking him out so wouldn't it help
him in the election
at the same time he could just pardon
himself after it's done
I would vote for him just to Pardon
himself
I would
I would vote for him just to Pardon
himself
policies
I just vote for him to Pardon himself
that would be the end because I don't
see the prosecution as being something
that would have happened with another
person
I'm not saying he did or did not commit
any technical violations it might have
been
in fact probably I just don't think they
rise to the level
the you know response so
I think I think so far it looks like it
could work in his favor
because they're never going to tell you
what's in the boxes
they're just going to wave their hands
dangerous boxes and eventually the
longer you go without hearing what's in
the box the less likely you think
there's anything you care about
yeah there might be some secrets
but do they matter
does anybody care
I doubt it
all right Trump has said
that there are a lot of passionate
voters out there more passionate than
ever and things would be quote things
quote would be very dangerous if you
went to prison
now I'd like to show you the faces of
the people on CNN when they heard Trump
say the most obvious thing in the world
that it could be dangerous
if one of the leading candidates is put
in jail on charges that don't look
credible
now
CNN decided that that was a threat so
I'd like to show you CNN face
when he said it
oh
is that uh uh
a threat
I love CNN face
I don't think MSNBC is quite the same
way but CNN always does the face
you know when I say you Joy read or uh
any of the people in MSNBC
their own
right
it seems like you know versions of their
own face but on CNN it's like they're
actors who have to act extra disgusting
disgusted
like the Jake Tapper face
and then Trump
walked to a helicopter
you know like like they're they're
and fart and cloth at the same time
so
MSNBC has dumb face
Maybe
anyway
um yeah so that trying to turn Trump
into a dangerous insurrectionist because
he pointed out the most obvious and
well-known fact in the world that if you
illegitimately jail a major political
character
people might protest
I don't know that might surprise you
all right uh Trump's lawyer his new
lawyer cleverly and smartly is demanding
uh cameras in the courtroom
can we give a hand for Trump's new
lawyer or play that right cameras in the
courtroom
now
should there be cameras in the courtroom
I don't know
that's not the point
the point is if you're a new lawyer and
you and you're going to be presenting
your case as it's a it's a ridiculous
case and it's political oh yeah whether
or not you get cameras
is also a second question but the first
thing you should say
is cameras
because he just reframed the situation
his new lawyer just successfully framed
the situation as an illegitimate
government process one in which you
can't trust that unless you better get
some cameras in there so the public can
protect itself get some cameras in there
we want some cameras
now does the person who's accused of a
crime usually asks for the cameras
yes or no the person who's the defendant
when does the defendant ask for cameras
I've never heard of it have you have you
ever heard of it
it's a baller play
imagine imagine being so confident of
your case now that this is what he would
portray we don't know if he's confident
we know he's portraying a confidence
just
to this uh that's a good lawyer so first
step you know the first step we see in
the public
bullseye
the innocent man wants cameras in in the
courtroom
perfect
good job
all right uh let's see uh by the way his
new attorney is named John lauro
normally I wouldn't even care what his
lawyer's name is but he's a good lawyer
so maybe you should know his name
so far anyway that's a good movie all
right um
so President Biden has overruled the
Pentagon
for choosing his
uh
a new member of The Joint Chief staff
so they recommended some gentleman I
don't know his name uh but Biden picked
Admiral Lisa francetti to lead the Navy
so she'd be the first woman if she's
confirmed to be a pentagon Service Chief
and the first female member of The Joint
Chiefs of Staff
um
so uh
the Pentagon wanted somebody else so uh
does that sound like a diversity hire to
anybody
just asking
does anybody interpret this as she's
clearly not the person for the job
yeah
uh
now
I feel bad for
um
for would she be
she's Admiral she's not a rear Admiral
I'm not sure what a rear Admiral is but
it's probably lucky she isn't one but um
it could be that she's actually the best
person for the job I wouldn't rule it
out it's possible
you know maybe Biden is really good at
hiring maybe she's the best one for the
job but nobody's going to believe it
should you hire
people for your Joint Chiefs and staff
if the public
ly assumes that they're unqualified
now
pretend that they think she is but
nobody really believes that do they
privately
you said you think somebody privately
would say yeah I think I think they
focused on picking the right person I
doubt it I doubt anybody would think
that and again this is terribly unfair
if it turned out that Admiral franchetti
is actually really great
they're terribly unfair
and
did I create the situation
I'm just reading the news
he created the situation where he very
overtly and with nothing hidden chose
somebody based on gender primarily
let me ask you an even more provocative
question do you think women should be
heads of any military service
I want to see if anybody says yes
somebody says yes if they're gay okay
that's not fair
all right uh
almost everybody's saying no now is that
just because you're a concern I see one
yes is that because you're a
conservative group
or do you think this would be a general
feeling
I mean I don't think
would not be among the progressives
I feel the military is the one place
where the mission has to be first
I guess that's easy to say and it
doesn't look like they're doing that
so not only is Biden you you know
sleepwalking us into World War III
but he's consciously
intentionally
and publicly making sure that we don't
have the best people running the
military
that's what it looks like
would anybody disagree with that
characterization that he's moving Us
close to war
that part I think you agree I mean I'm
not sure war will happen with Russia but
clearly we're you know creeping that
direction
at the same time he's degrading the most
important part which would be the
decision-making and maybe even maybe
even the trust
I don't know how you could be more
incompetent more obviously and more
publicly
it would be hard to imagine
anybody starting you know or looking to
crawl toward a war that could destroy
all civilization while simultaneously
promoting somebody who's clearly
even according to the Pentagon
not not the right person
yeah
so
um apparently we care about making women
happier happy more than we care about
defending even the country
it actually the priority is clear
so
how in the world could he win
re-election
it's just mind-boggling like if you just
look at the objective facts it just
doesn't look like as possible
but yeah we also don't trust the
election so anything's possible
well I hesitate to bring up this next
story but it's a big headline lately so
I was a big sigh
RFK JR says that Ivermectin totally
works because there are 99 studies that
show it doesn't the Show does and that
only a few studies that say it doesn't
work and they were funded by Bill Gates
and they have problems with them
he says further evidence of this is that
there are two states in India one that
used uh hydroxychloroquine I think it
was did
some people had lots of vaccinations
and there's a country in Africa I forget
which one where they have a lot of
problems fireworks chloroquine and they
did well
without vaccinations
uh do you like his facts did those sound
pretty credible do you think there's 99
studies the show works and only a few of
the show don't
it don't it doesn't
um and that Bill Gates funded them
and that there are clear examples in the
real world
of where either hydroxychloroquine or
I've I've worked because you can just
see it you can see the area worked and
you know there are they didn't use they
didn't get the good result do you think
that's true
all right yes and no are the wrong
answers
yeah yes and no we're both the wrong
answers
there's no such thing as reliable data
about this there's no such thing Bill
Gates doesn't have reliable data
RFK Junior doesn't have reliable data
I'm pretty sure that these 99 studies
were
um
observational and retrospective or very
very small and flawed
and that when somebody did a meta a meta
study where they sort of sum up all the
studies
you know they got some kind of an
opinion but meta studies are basically
astrology it's not even science
I I've said that argument too many times
to do it again but is basically what
assumptions you make when you do the
analysis the outcome so it's not a
science at all you pick some assumptions
and you're kind of done it's just what
assumptions you picked
so there's nothing about science
that should flow from your assumption
right issue from tests if it flows
directly from your assumptions well I
assume this big test over here this
biasing the results I assume that's
worse than some of these little ones so
I'll take this one out
it's not a science it's somebody's
assumption about things
so
um
I would say that RFK Juniors take on
this
would be the same as anybody's take who
believed data or
what data was accurate and what data was
not it's just not a thing
there's nobody you can look at any data
and know anything about it about
ivermected
because the the topic itself is too
politicize
you would just assume that it's
distorted by money somehow
one word
so I'm not going to say that it works or
it doesn't work I'm going to stick with
my opinion from the very beginning
I don't believe the data that says it
works or that it doesn't work I don't
believe either one and I don't believe
that we have any
business now actually let me amend that
we might actually have good data but you
might never see it and you wouldn't know
what was the good data versus the bad
data so anybody who has something like
certainty
that's the only wrong opinion
if you said to yourself you know I've
Loved These studies I gotta say I'm I'm
leaning in RFK RK Juniors direction I'm
leaning in that direction
perfectly reasonable
do you get that
and if you said you were leaning the
other direction perfectly reasonable
but leaving is as far as you can get
right we're so far from actually knowing
that it's the knowing that bothers me
and so I think RFK Jr would be more
solid
if he said that I don't like any of the
studies but there's another there are
enough studies that show that it was
positive that wouldn't it be good to
know for sure something like that
but the certainty I think is a little
off-putting to me because I think that
the day supports it certainly
it might support leading in One
Direction or the other
all right uh Blaze media
which is no good friend to Fox News I
guess
um the broken story that there's a
matched donation
Fox News so if you give some your I know
your church I guess they'll match it you
give some money to this or that they'll
match it but
um apparently there was no limit
on at least if it was a charitable uh
entity that you could give to
so they found out that some people are
giving to a satanic temple something
called the Trevor Project that must be
bad for conservatives Planned Parenthood
the conservatives don't always like
uh and what else Southern Southern Law
Center which is amazing
now
is this a real story
or is this a summer story
the details are probably right I mean I
would guess I somebody somebody did
you know screenshots and you know it it
seems like it's well documented so I
would say the facts of
probably right
probably right
do you care
do you care that there was some troll
uh or even maybe just one person that
Fox News who was literally a member of
the satanic temple or thought it would
be funny
and gave a hundred dollars to him just
to see if Fox News would match it
none of it matters
Fox News can give us money anywhere it
wants in this case it said we'll give it
please want to give it and then they
didn't put restrictions on them is that
good or bad
is it good or bad that Fox News did not
put restrictions on charitable giving
it's good it's good it's not bad
that the outcomes in this case would be
sub-optimal
to you know most people or some people
at least the satanic temple people you
know be objectionable to most people
but it doesn't really matter that double
donation from Fox News
you're probably talking about two
hundred dollars
do you think you're talking about
Millions you know that it would have
been a flag if there was even one
donation to any of these entities
so
and
am I angry that there's somebody at Fox
News who's donating to Planned
Parenthood
no
all that tells me is that Fox News is
willing to hire people
who have different opinions than some of
them do
how is that even a problem
now I get that there are customers and
most of the hosts would be out of one
side of that issue
but the fact that they're willing to
hire you if you're on the other side of
that issue is not a weakness
does that feel like a weakness
it's totally a strike so I'm going to
back Fox News on this I think Blaze
media is a little over there
competitive skis it's just a summer
again it's a summersity nobody cares
literally nobody cares
all right here's another one uh did you
know that d d e i
which had been diversity equity and
inclusion now as an a at the end
they're sort of going the lgbtq plus
Direction where you keep having to
adolescence so they've added a to the
end for accessibility
so that's uh d-e-i-a
anyway the Wall Street Journal editorial
board was talking about a
uh let's say
uh there's California community colleges
are required to take into consideration
you know the principles of Dei
and you're the bullet points from The
Wall Street Journal of these specific
things that these community colleges
should do
all right this is how seriously they
take it so the bullet points are
promotes and incorporates Dei and
anti-racist pedagogy
pedagogy
literally have never said that word out
loud do you know why I've never said
pedagogy pedagogy do you know I have
never said that out loud
because it's a douchebag word
and I'm not a douchebag well
maybe I am but I don't use that word
I had to correct myself maybe I am I'm a
bit of a douchebag but
never use that word
who are you writing for do you think
that half of the readers of the Wall
Street Journal know what that means
pedagogy pedagogy
they're probably no more than half
I'd guess 25 percent
anyway
so they're gonna let's say promote and
incorporate it so promoting and
incorporating so far so good right
because we knew that was happening
promoting and incorporating but let's
see if it goes further develops and
influence a pedagogy okay you and
or a curriculum they're and or
curriculum
uh that promotes are race conscious and
intersectional lens
um that's bad a race conscious teaching
that should be exactly what you don't do
so that should be illegal but it so that
would be illegal in Florida right
the thing that's being recommended or
actually required the thing that's being
required in California
is literally illegal in Florida is that
true is required here and illegal there
can you think of any other any other law
that's required in one state and illegal
in another
give me another example required in one
statement illegal in another go
now guns are not required
looting
abortion is not required
well I suppose it'd be required to offer
you might be right about that
income tax well you know state tax uh
that's that's reaching license to drive
now it's required everywhere
pre-arrange crapping photo ID it's not
illegal to have photo ID
it's not illegal to put on a seat belt
it's not
pot is not required anywhere yeah
there's no other example is there
right there are lots of examples of
things that are legal in one and not
legal another but you can't come up with
an example of something that is required
government required in one state and
government illegal in another state I
want to see if you now voter ID
if you walk into the voter ID place and
show your ID nobody's going to arrest
you if it's not required
I think this is unique
that is required in one state and
illegal in another
but that should tell you something
all right um
contributes to Dei and anti-racism
research and scholarship contributes to
it
you have to contribute to the in to the
research and scholarship
what's that mean
you have to contribute to it like
financially
or you have to work toward it
a big deal advocates for and advances it
most of these bullet points are just
saying you got to work on it in
different ways
I assume these bullet points were
written by a unqualified person
uh
participates in a continuous cycle of
self-assessment of one's growth and
commitment to Dei an acknowledgment of
any internalized personal biases and
racial superiority or inferiority it's
literally just mind control
based on this I would recommend that
nobody go to college in California
like you should just skip Community
College
this is the most absurdly
inappropriate thing you could ever put
in a college absurdly inappropriate
but there we are all right
um
lately there's been a bunch of stories
about Dei professionals
who have been fired or quit or downsized
whatever and they usually show their
picture
have you noticed anything
common or similar about the photos of
the people working in that field
actually a lot of them are white yeah
yeah your your first impression was it's
going to be you know people of color but
now there's actually you know a healthy
number of them are white
um women mostly women
have have they all been women
not all of them ninety percent
it's like 90 women isn't it
yeah 90 women but that's not what I'm
going for you're you're talking about
body weight no I don't think the body
weight I haven't seen anybody overweight
who's doing that job in fact they all
look normal weights me no it's not that
it's crazy faces crazy eyes
they they are people with crazy eyes
and crazy smiles
and the first the first few times I saw
it I thought well that's just my
imagination
playing tricks with me or or maybe it's
uh
I don't know you know maybe it's just a
coincidence
but the more stories I see and the more
of those pictures
I'm starting to think it's like some
other issues we talk about
whereas it's mental illness
that's just been systemized
it's systemic mental illness
so we're we're fighting systemic racism
which I believe is a real thing and
important
with systemic craziness we're actually
hiring the craziest people to work on
an important issue
now do you believe that you can tell if
somebody is batshit Crazy by looking at
them
how many of you think you can tell by
looking at them if somebody's crazy
as as we evolved so that we can tell if
somebody is sick or crazy or lying not
every time
but where we've evolved and need that
skill
you can spot them right away
and the Dei photos look like pictures of
very unhealthy people mentally unhealthy
people
now so I'm just going to say it
has nothing to do with race or gender
they do look like Disturbed to people
who were drawn to they were drawn to a
profession
partly because of whatever is bothering
that's what it looks like now I can't
read minds you know I have no poll
information there's no science behind it
but
I don't I'm tired of ignoring it I mean
if if every time I see pictures of Dei
people and they look crazy
how am I gonna how long do I do I have
to ignore that
when can I point it out are we there
I mean I can do it you can probably
because I got free speech in a way you
do not
so I asked myself if if you were looking
through all your photos you're looking
for a good profile picture and as you're
scrolling through your selfies
you realize that you can't find one that
doesn't have crazy eyes
what's your best play I did a poll on
this on Twitter I gave people two
choices if all of your selfies have
crazy eyes
your two choices are
uh hide all of your photos
or become a Dei professional because
apparently that's the one place where a
crazy eye photo is perfectly acceptable
oh yeah
we'll hire this one
all right uh 88 said become a Dei
professional and 12 said hi dear photos
all right uh here's an up Ukraine update
fairly early on
in the Ukraine situation a lot of people
were pro-ukraine they put their
Ukrainian flags and their profiles and
stuff
it was still literally fog of War things
were just developing
Ukraine was an ally Russia was not you
know so it made sense if the US and NATO
were going in on a side that people
would kind of take the side of the
leaders
but a lot of time has transpired
we see now that so far we've not got a
good result the latest thinking is that
nobody's going to do any
counter-offensive or offensive
to walk on land mines until the end of
time and basically keep their borders
the way they are
so
under these situations and the times
going by and what we've learned about
the bidens taking money from barisma
allegedly
Etc
can we conclude that if you still have a
Ukraine flag in your profile and you're
not actually Ukrainian
there's probably something wrong with
you
and probably you're deeply brainwashed
and somebody said today on Twitter
you've heard it before but you know that
they don't take seriously a thing that's
said by anybody with a Ukraine flag in
the profile
now when people started saying that
my first reaction was well that's a
little
that's a little bigoted or I don't know
stereotyped or that's a little crazy
but
standing from today's perspective
with what we know about the whole
situation and lots of time has
transpired and it doesn't look like
we're getting any closer to a result
kind of embarrassing to have that
and if you still have that in your
profile I swear to God I can't take you
seriously
because it's almost like a tattoo on
your forehead this has brainwash me
brainwash me please
hello could I please be brainwashed a
little bit do believe whatever you're
telling me as long as it costs a lot of
money to buy a lot of weapons
the most important thing is we're buying
weapons lots of lots of weapons
so that's what the Ukraine flag to me
just looks like you're lost
and again I I think that you could be a
reasonable person and have nuanced and
different views on you know whether we
should or should not be helping Ukraine
I think a reasonable person could be on
either side of that
even if I you know strongly disagree
reasonable people are on both sides
uh but I wouldn't believe anybody was
reasonable if they had a Ukraine flag in
their profile the first thing I think is
oh I can't talk to you
but I'm sure that I'm sure there are you
know equal things that people say about
other people
same kind of thing that's just where I
am at it
that I can't take anybody seriously with
that flag
all right well the latest on the Ukraine
situation is they're completely bogged
down the counter-offensive is not
working Russia is in no risk whatsoever
folding or falling apart there are more
stories about
um
internal dissension and people being
rounded up and all that stuff I'm sure
that's true
but uh
we haven't seen progression lately
uh and I don't think Russia is in
trouble of of any kind of coup does
anybody think Russia actually is falling
apart
as long as they have money they're not
falling apart
yeah Putin's firmly in control it looks
like
what's that
uh
Elijah Wood talking about
zelinski's addiction is that on the news
it's not on serious drugs
then I'd have to question his capability
if he's not at least on math
or some version of it
Adderall or something if he's not on a
if he's not on a performance in the end
saying upper
then he's the wrong person for the job
I'm just going to say that directly I
don't care how illegal those drugs are
if the guy who's in charge of saving
your country
isn't uh you know getting the energy he
needs he better go get it
I just assume anybody in this situation
is on some kind of meth or Adderall or
some version of it
don't you
you say cocaine but I don't know
you know meth would be smarter in his
case
I don't know if he's snorting anything
but I would say for sure a person in
that situation I would if I were him I
would be on some kind of stimulant
because there's no way he's ever going
to go to sleep thinking he did enough
work
remember his life and death
you don't want somebody to say you know
I'm going to get a good eight hours of
sleep tonight
that's the last thing you want to hear
from your War leader you know what I
want to hear from my War leader I've
been up for three days I'm still doing
well
don't I don't feel like I need any sleep
yet
and I say to myself okay well you're on
math
and then the second thing I say to
myself is thank God
I've got leaders awake
do you want a sleepy Joe making your
award decisions
well uh yeah we'll send you some bombs
uh foreign
good for him
just means he loves his country and he
doesn't want to sleep through a war
but I don't recommend drugs to you
because keep in mind that if he's doing
drugs and I just assume he is I mean he
would be smart enough to be on
stimulants
but
I just wouldn't trust him if he's not
yeah so you could have you there's a
downside
duh there's a downside to drugs so he
could get addicted it could be really
bad later in his life he could die even
overdose you know he could have um if he
did too much he could have some it's
like like all bad I get it but in terms
of the risk reward I doubt anybody in
this situation would not be on
stimulants probably
it's probably pretty common
all right that's all ladies and
gentlemen
