Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time. This is going to be an amazing morning for you, full of intrigue, interest, special interest, human interest, every kind of interest.

If you'd like to take this up to a level that, well, humans can barely even understand, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tankard, a chalice, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

Very good, very good. Top 10. One of the best sips ever.

Hey, let's talk about the news. I don't know why this is news, but Fox News has reportedly pulled the pillow advertisements for MyPillow and Mike Lindell. Now there was no reason given, but there's a coincidence involved that apparently Mike Lindell has his own network. Is that true? Mike Lindell started his own network for news, and apparently Mike Lindell hired an ex-Fox News guy. Mike, um, what's his name? Why am I forgetting his name? The one who used to work at Fox. Lou Dobbs.

So Mike Lindell hires Lou Dobbs, who used to work for Fox News. I think they had similar opinions about the accuracy of the last election. And Fox News pulled the advertisements. In other words, Fox News was no longer willing to take money from Mike Lindell. That's pretty radical, isn't it? That you're no longer willing to take money from one of your biggest advertisers. Interesting.

But they got plenty of TikTok money, because TikTok's an advertiser now. No problem. What could possibly be the problem here? Yeah, no problem. So that's probably exactly what it looks like. Fox News would be a competitor, I guess, with Mike Lindell, so they just wanted to cut connections. That's not actually too surprising. Once he becomes their competitor, you know, can't expect him to play along.

All right. NBC has a news story today about what science has discovered about a giant 10-foot ape that lived 200,000 years ago in China. They found some bones, I guess, but they figured out what killed the 10-foot huge apes. Can you guess? Do you want to take a guess? Climate change. That's right.

According to NBC News, our science is now so good that we can tell what a monkey was thinking 200,000 years ago. They actually make that claim. They say that the climate made it difficult for them to get their normal food source, and unlike the other apes — okay, it's an ape, not a monkey — but unlike the other apes who adjusted and just found other food sources, these big old apes, they were too dumb and they decided not to diversify the food sources, so they died. So climate change killed the big apes.

Now remember I told you that you can't understand any of the news unless you know the players. Now allegedly — I don't have confirmation of this myself — but people who seem to know more than I do claim that NBC is a big old CIA propaganda operation. Is it? How would I know? I wouldn't know. But I'll tell you what, if they were, that would act exactly like this.

What do you think it does to you when you hear that something that's a little bit like you — you know, an upright walking probably 10-foot ape — don't you say to yourself, huh, if climate change killed that big ape, aren't we in danger? Yes. Now obviously there's not a direct connection between the 200,000-year-old apes and humans, but your brain doesn't know that. Your brain will say, uh oh, it killed a big ape just like me. It must be ready to kill me too.

So this is the kind of story that you would only expect from somebody who's trying to brainwash you. Now how many of you think the science actually knows why these apes died 200,000 years ago? Do you think they really know that? Do you think this science can figure out what the apes were thinking and why they died 200,000 years ago? The absurdity that they would want us to believe that that's something they can do or they can know — it's pretty funny actually.

You're saying to yourself, Scott, can you move that microphone because it's putting an annoying shadow on your chin? How many of you were thinking that just now? Yeah, you were thinking that, but now it's all better. You're welcome.

All right. Well, are all of you as puzzled as I am why the following story is not being carried by all the major news organizations? Is there something I missed, or do I have a date wrong or something?

Here's what I think happened. I think that Representative Tim Burchett and a couple other people in Congress had access to a SCIF, the top secret, most secretive place you could ever go to look at materials that are so secretive you can't even make a copy. So you have to go see the originals in a special little secure building because that's our top, top, top secret. Nothing is more secret than stuff that's in a SCIF.

So of course the representatives can't tell us what they saw because they get to see it but it's top secret. So what did Tim Burchett say after he saw this stuff? He said that it was obvious to the people who were with him and to him that David Grusch, the whistleblower about the UFOs, is legit.

Now David Grusch says that the US has in its possession numerous downed UFOs and what he calls biologics — in other words, parts of the aliens themselves — and we got them in big warehouses and that's well known. It's been going on for years. And according to Tim Burchett and the top secret information, which he can't be more specific about, he can tell us that everybody who was in the SCIF believes that the whistleblower is legit and that Earth is being visited by some kind of advanced intelligence, either from outer space or from the inner Earth or possibly the ocean or possibly North Korea, because we don't know what's going on up there.

What do you think about that? There was another representative who I didn't get his name, but he had a great answer for why Congress can't get better answers from the government about the UFOs or UAPs as they like to call them. And what he said was you can ask these guys questions but everybody is only allowed to answer in their little domain.

So it's actually possible — this is hilarious to me as the author of Dilbert — it's possible that the government is so incompetent that every part of the government only knows one thing and that the government collectively doesn't know if the aliens are real or if they have them. That's right. I actually believe that the government as an entity doesn't know if it has in its possession aliens.

Now I know that sounds ridiculous. What I mean is that if we had any aliens, which I'm super skeptical of — I don't think we have any aliens or any spaceships and I'm going to say that forever. Like you, I'd have to touch it myself to believe there's an alien spaceship. No, I don't think there are any ETs. But I think it's fascinating that the information in the government is so compartmentalized.

And of course every government employee knows I can only talk about the thing I know. I'll get fired if I talk about anything else. It may be that you can't ask enough questions to find out what's going on because there's nobody who could tell you not only what they do but how it connects to other people. And without that you wouldn't know what's going on.

And the politician who was on yesterday said if you don't know to ask the exact question they're not going to help you because they're only going to answer the exact question. So if you said to them, the whistleblower says you have — I'll just make this up — but the whistleblower says you have 10 alien UFOs, is that true? No, it's not true. What did you learn? You didn't learn whether or not there's aliens because you didn't ask the question right. You should have asked, are there any? Do we have any ships?

So that I'm just making up that example, but the point is it might be that the government is so ineffective and distributed and bureaucratic that almost nobody in the government can even answer the question, do we have any aliens? So presumably there would be a very small number of people who knew the real answer if we had real aliens. But I don't think we have real aliens.

Do you know what I think? I think it's a CIA op and I think the op is being played on these members of Congress. I think Tim Burchett is being played. I think that they've identified him as a gullible. I hate to say it because I kind of like him. You know, when I see him on TV, I see him a lot, I say to myself, oh I'd like that guy. Like he'd be somebody you'd hang out with and have a beer. Like he just looks like a real nice guy and he looks like he's actually trying to do the right thing. You know, he gives off the vibe of an actual citizen who got elected who wants to help. And I think that they're using him. I think that his sincerity is what makes him a little bit vulnerable.

Now I'm just speculating. I have no information to directly say that. But I'm pretty sure we don't have any aliens. So if there was anything in a SCIF that suggested we absolutely have some aliens, that had to be our intelligence people distracting us, right? Because while this was happening —

And then now here's the other thing. I saw a video clip about this topic yesterday and I said to myself, oh I'd better catch up on this story. Must be a big story in the press because if members of Congress are talking about it and they had this experience and they had this revelation that these aliens are real, that's like the biggest story, isn't it?

Did you see that story anywhere in the press? Did you see it written anywhere? I did a Google search and there were a bunch of videos that probably all pointed to the same video. Why would there be a YouTube video or two but nobody wrote a story? Members of our government just confirmed that our government has alien spaceships and bodies. Now confirmed — I don't mean it's true because I'm sure it's not true, but they thought so. There are members of our government who saw secret information from our government and then told the public, yeah it's true. And it's not on CNN. There's no written article about it.

What does that tell you? What does that tell you? I mean to me it tells me the press knows it's not true. What else could you conclude? It would be the biggest story not just of the week, of the year, of the decade, of the century, of the entire history of humanity. It would be the biggest story of all. There wouldn't be no bigger story, right? And it disappeared. The biggest story in the history of humankind if it were true. But CNN decided that wasn't newsworthy.

Here's what I think. I think at the top of the news pile they know it's not true and so they don't want to be the embarrassed ones who write about it. So maybe everybody's hoping somebody else will cover it. It's like, well I hope you guys cover it because this one doesn't seem too true to us.

I just think about the fact that Tim Burchett is a Republican and I'm pretty sure that Fox News didn't cover the story, did they? Did Fox News cover it in let's say written form? They may have had a video like others did. It's weird that it exists only in video because they're making it disappear pretty well anyway. So it might be some kind of a Dilbert situation cover-up that's accidental or intentional. Who knows?

Trump lost a lawsuit. I guess he was pressing a lawsuit against the New York Times over reporting about his financials and he lost. So he's going to pay the legal fees, $400,000. So does that tell you that Trump lost because he has to pay $400,000? Depends what you call winning.

If I were these reporters I would say to myself, I sure hated my last year. I just spent a year defending myself in court and buying lawyers and borrowing money. And yeah that's great that I'll get reimbursed but I just lost a year of my life. Do you think Trump is happy with the outcome? $400,000 to send a warning signal to anyone else who would use what I'm guessing was maybe not the most confirmed information or maybe they didn't put it in quite the right context that showed both sides. I don't know what the claim is exactly.

But don't you think it sends a chilling message to other reporters that if you're going to write about Trump maybe you better stick to the facts that you're really sure about? Know what you think? So I would call it a success for $400,000 at his level of wealth to send this warning shot across the bow of reporters who might be looking at more let's say speculative stories about him. Yeah, it's a brushback pitch. I think he got his money's worth if that's the end of the story. It just cost him $400,000. He got his money's worth.

So I guess on Monday Iowa goes to vote in the primary for the Republicans. And the big stories about that are number one the weather. So apparently the snow is just insane. So the ability of old people especially to even get to the polling places and or the caucus places I guess would be very limited.

Now what does this tell you? I'll tell you the message I'm getting from this. Every time you think you're in a system where the system is working to express the will of the people so that the people can see for example that their vote counted and they picked the people that they want, I feel like there's always — it's like Charlie Brown's football — there's always something that's like pulling the football back just before you kick it. And I feel like the Iowa results are going to be based on the weather. Does it feel like that to you?

Basically just think about this. Vivek just absolutely blanketed that state like nobody's ever done before. Not only did he cover more of the precincts, he covered every one, which is called the full Grassley. He did a double Grassley and then it kept going. He did a double Grassley. He visited every precinct that I know twice. Twice. Never been done before. Just absolutely was just all over the state. And then it snows. It could be that none of his work will make any difference just because it snowed. Like that's our system. That's how we pick a president, by the snow basically.

So I don't know if the snow suppresses Democrats the same amount as it suppresses Republicans, but don't Republicans skew older? I think they do, don't they? Republicans tend to be a little older. And if I saw a snowstorm I'd say fewer older people are going to go outside on the ice and in the snow. So good luck with that.

Now Vivek is confidently predicting a surprise. Now I don't know what a surprise looks like. First place or strong showing? I don't know what that would be. But he might be right. And this would be a good test of the polling. I think there's a good chance that the people that Vivek is attracting to show up are exactly — see if you think this is true — the people he's attracting are very much exactly the people who don't show up in polling. Am I right?

Because the pollers, you know, they got a problem because they've got landlines that they're polling and then they do online polls but young people don't bother to even read them. And a general poll of people who don't care about politics is completely different than the poll of people who might actually show up on a primary or a caucus. I mean those are pretty dedicated people. So is it possible that Vivek is reading the room correctly? Because he did have big crowds. He had big crowds.

If the size of the crowds was the predictor and you didn't believe that they could dig down deep enough to find his supporters specifically, he might have a surprise. He might actually pull this off.

You know what's a fun party game? I was playing this yesterday. Some of you heard me. It's to imagine the founders of our country, America, you know the famous ones, your Ben Franklins and your George Washingtons and Jeffersons and Hamiltons and whatnot, and then map yourself into one of the founders. Just ask yourself, all right, which one would I be? You get one free pass to be a founder yourself.

I chose John Adams. So you know, might as well pick my cousin because I felt a little like John Adams in this current situation. Because we feel like we're in a new American Revolution, especially with Vivek but also with Trump, in that in order for many of us to get the president we want we have to know or understand is there some big uniparty power behind politics that we don't see directly? Like you need to know that, right?

But doesn't it feel as though both Vivek and Trump are a new American Revolution against these hidden powers that maybe we don't even know who they are? I don't know if that even exists. I don't even know if it exists. I know there are a lot of people pretty sure it does but I don't hear names and I don't see facts. But it feels exactly like that, doesn't it?

And we'll talk about that a little bit more. But it does feel by coincidence that we have something like the founders have lined up. The maps into Thomas Jefferson really easily because they're both bigger than big and smarter than smart and more patriotic than patriots. Like that's Thomas Jefferson. You know there were a lot of smart people but Jefferson was smarter than the smart ones. That's Vivek. He's not just smart, he's smarter than the smart people.

And Jefferson did the Louisiana Purchase, the American Revolution, and that's about the size of the change that Vivek is saying he'll do. 75% cut in the government, get us out of wars, basically huge changes. So that's very Jeffersonian.

And then it does seem like maybe Trump feels a lot like George Washington, doesn't it? Because Trump seems like the one who's going into battle. He's actually fighting. He's literally fighting the lawfare, the cannons of the system. So George Washington is marshalling the army, you know the MAGA army or whatever it is, against the Tories or whoever it is we're fighting.

Then it seems very much like Elon Musk is the modern version of Ben Franklin. Now does he fit the model of a revolutionary? Well let's ask the Wall Street Journal because the Wall Street Journal just wrote the most stupid article you'll ever see that decides that really whenever you think of Elon Musk you should think of Donald Trump because they're the same person. You goddamn pieces of shit in the Wall Street Journal, what are you doing with this article? What are you educating us on? What news is this?

This is pure propaganda. This is disgusting. You should really be ashamed of yourself, Wall Street Journal. This is not up to your standard. I usually have a lot of respect for the Wall Street Journal but this is not up to your standard. This to me looks like a pure hit piece that they're trying to disguise as some kind of opinion journalism important story. It's not important. It's not journalism. It's not news. It's a hit piece on one of the most useful Americans in the history of the Republic.

Why? Because Elon Musk runs a platform that doesn't always hate Donald Trump. And that's why it exists or at least that's why it got published. I can't read the mind of the writer but I can tell you it doesn't have news value. So you do the math, right? Amazing. Amazing.

And how do they say he's the same? Because they both use Twitter really well. That was one of the biggest evidences that they're populists who use Twitter really well. How exactly do you write a hit piece about a populist? Doesn't that sound almost like that's backwards? What the hell is a populist except somebody that the people really like once they get to know him and they really agree with him once they get to know him? That's what a populist is. Somebody who's popular because they're doing the right things according to the public.

So they've got to make populism look bad because Trump does it. Trump's the best populist ever. I don't know, maybe of all time. But Elon Musk is definitely a populist as well in the sense that he's trying to do things that make sense and are popular. I don't think he does it because they're popular. That's obvious. But he does seem to be very dedicated to what would be good and make sense such as population increase instead of decrease. So got that going on.

How many of you saw the AI-created George Carlin stand-up comedy? How many of you saw or listened to that clip? Anybody see that? So the story was that AI had finally done what I said couldn't be done, which is write humor. There was high quality humor and in fact as good as the real George Carlin.

So there was a video that was going around and people were impressed because the writing seemed to be almost humanlike quality. And I think I tweeted it before I listened to it. I listened to one joke or something and I thought the joke was so — I thought well you know it's word play so probably AI did write it. So I spent the time to listen to more of it and about five minutes in it was super obvious that AI did not make that. AI didn't make that.

How many of you thought the AI really made it? That that was your AI hoax of the week? All right. So it was confirmed by the way that it wasn't real. Yeah it wasn't AI. But here's — I'm going to give you, well I guess I'm giving myself a pat on the back. It took me just a few minutes of listening to it to know it couldn't be AI because AI can't do that. AI can't do that. So I was pretty sure the AI can't do that and sure enough it didn't. It didn't even come close.

So here's what it did that was my tip off. Part of the comedy was that George Carlin was insulting God for creating us and then creating all these diseases to kill us. Now on one hand that's very George Carlinish. It's right in his sweet spot. On the other hand there is no AI that will ever insult God. AI is not going to insult God and it's certainly not going to mock people who have diseases. It's not going to do that.

Yes, as soon as I heard the God part I was like come on, there's no way this is AI. But then the story was okay it was written by a human and we know the name of the human. They admit it. I think at the end of the video it actually says it. Actually somebody said at the end of the video which I didn't get to. It reveals that it's not real. But the claim is that the impersonation of George Carlin was AI. Even the impersonation didn't sound like him. There wasn't one thing that sounded like George Carlin. It didn't sound like his voice. The writing actually was pretty close but it sounded like a human imitating George Carlin. And I picked it out immediately.

Now the only reason I watched it, let me give a little credit here, is that Greg Gutfeld had watched it and he sent me a message and said I probably shouldn't tell you what private messages people send but he wouldn't mind I don't think. He said this doesn't look real, does it? So Greg, who writes jokes for a living and understands writing of course, you bestselling author, it took him two minutes to say this can't be real. And then I looked at it and was like this can't be real, right?

So anybody who's a professional writer and professional humorist especially, you see it right away. Yeah this did not fool anybody who is in the business.

All right. There's No Labels. It's a third-party group and they've got this big PAC and they're going to be raising money to run some third-party person in 2024 who is not yet selected.

Now what have I told you about how to understand news stories? What I always tell you is if the only thing you know is the story you don't know anything. You have to know the players in the story and how they're connected and then you understand the story.

So if the only thing I told you is there's this third-party group and they're raising money for a third party, what does that tell you? Not really anything actually. Nothing. Because you don't know who they're going to run. You don't know who they are. You don't know if it's legitimate. Don't really know anything.

But now I'm going to tell you the people involved and watch all the gears go click click click click click and form an entire picture for you, right? I don't even need to connect the dots. I will but I don't need to. Listen to this. The person in charge, the group will be led by Kathleen Shanahan who previously served as Chief of Staff to former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Republican, and worked as an aide to former President George Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Any questions? Are there any further questions? Yeah. This is your confirmation that we don't live in a republic. Yeah this is your uniparty confirmation. The Republicans are trying to take Trump out as much as the Democrats. There's only one way that that makes sense. That we don't have a real government. There is no other explanation for this.

Now if they tell you oh it's because we really think this third party is viable, you know that's not true, right? You know they're not trying to actually elect anybody. Nobody thinks a third party can get elected. The only reason for a third party is if you're true believers. Do you think that this ex-chief of staff for these three major Republican establishment people, do you think she's working out of a true belief about helping the Republic? I don't think so. I doubt it.

It just looks like she's working for the establishment Republicans. So why would the establishment Republicans want to run a third party? Do you think they're doing it to help Trump? Do you think that the chief of staff previously of Jeb and George and Dick Cheney, do you think that person has decided to help Trump? No, no, no.

So remember Vivek's warning that the real play is to bump Trump out one way or another whatever it takes, put Haley in because she's the uniparty candidate that will spend our money on wars. Now that sounds pretty conspiratorial, crazy doesn't it? Honestly it sounds a little crazy except every piece of evidence that we can confirm seems to be very compatible with that point of view.

Now I'm open to the argument that there's something in our reality that would tell me that's unlikely. But Vivek's prediction that the election will be rigged by not just the vote necessarily but rigged by who's allowed to run in the end, the final two, it does look like that. It looks exactly like that, right?

So I'm not saying that I'm totally endorsing the prediction that'll happen but Vivek has a hypothesis which fits the facts. If he's right about this, well he probably is.

All right. Yeah that's pretty much confirmed that we are not — whatever you thought about living in a republic I think you could throw that away. I don't know what's going on exactly but this is pretty much proof we're not living in any kind of election Republic, Democrat process. Something else is happening.

All right. Now what else? Biden administration is looking to reclassify marijuana as a level three drug because it's not as dangerous as the level ones according to initial research.

Now this is why I've been promoting that we should have more trans people in government. I mean I say it all the time. You know what we need in government is a lot more trans people and here's why. Here's a perfect example. Rachel Levine, Health and Human Services assistant secretary for health, she wrote a letter to the Drug Enforcement Administration in which she's basically advocating for making marijuana schedule three. So that is good work, Rachel Levine. And all of you haters with your anti-trans stuff, well the joke's on you because Rachel Levine's doing some good work here according to me. You don't have to agree with that by the way.

Can we do some NPC stuff? I like to do the show for NPCs as well as the rest of you who are actually real people because I have NPCs who watch as well and I like to service everybody.

All right. Now if you're an NPC the way to look at the question of marijuana, either legalization or change in the scheduling, is this: assume that everybody who smokes marijuana is injured or nobody who ever smoked marijuana had a bad experience. And also you must believe that marijuana is either completely good for you all the time or completely bad for everybody all the time and then make your argument based on that.

Now the people who are real people, not NPCs, you are still allowed to look at the pluses and the minuses of all issues. So you could say for example, huh it appears as Scott is getting more benefit than cost out of it because he uses it medically and reports many, many benefits and his life appears is no worse for it. But you could also say equally true I know this teenager who is ruining their life because the marijuana is sucking all the joy out of them and turning them into porn addicts. Also true. Also true.

Yeah and it's a tough question in a free society whether I get the freedom to use it in a way that as far as I can tell is entirely productive and makes me happy and I couldn't be happier. At the same time I do know it's going to kill that teenager. I do know that, right? And I don't want that. So what do you do? Well that's why we have governments. But Rachel Levine, good job on that.

Let's talk about the dumbest story in the news. California reparations. Believe it or not this is still a story. You remember the background that Governor Newsom authorized a commission to go study the question of reparations for descendants of slaves. And when the recommendation came back to give $1.2 million to every person who is eligible for reparations, Governor Newsom said I'm not going to endorse that. I don't hate it. I don't criticize it but I'm not accepting it.

And what he said was not that it was wrong or bad. Instead he said you know it's more, it's about more than money. Reparations is about more than money. It's about fixing systemic racism in a variety of ways. But the issue is still there.

And I would like to point out the following. As long as this issue still exists, in other words it's still an active question in California, he can never be elected president. A Republican would bury him on this even though he didn't accept it. He would be forced to say I do not accept reparations even after I formed that commission. Or he's going to say it's still on the table and I haven't decided. Either one of those, he can't win. He cannot win.

Because there are a lot of white people in a lot of states who say what if he gets away with that in California and he does it in my state? It's going to be talking about that tomorrow and I'm going to pay. Because Gavin Newsom did this clever thing in California that is the most disqualifying issue of all issues I've ever seen. I mean he literally would be running for president on a platform that he won't guarantee not taking money from white people to give it to people of other races. Not just taxes but just take their money because they're white and give it to Black people because they're Black. How do you get elected with that? It's impossible. Yeah no there isn't any way he can be elected to national office.

So all those of you who said — and by the way I used to think this too — that he would have a serious shot at getting elected, no he can't. As long as reparations is out there he cannot get elected. There's no way he's going to get enough white votes to make that happen.

Rumble is under attack. Big surprise because you know Rumble's a source of free speech and so you had to know that the government would come after them. Sure enough there's this short seller. This is a claim from the president of Rumble that a short seller put together a report, sent it to the SEC, and the SEC said we're looking into it because somebody had reported it. Then the same person who reported it goes to the press and says hey don't look at me but the SEC says this is serious.

Now what a short seller is is somebody who makes money if they can identify a company whose stock is going to drop like a rock. So one of the dirty tricks they do is create the news that makes the stock drop so that they can make that quick cash. And so Rumble's story is that it's completely illegitimate, will be easily dismissed. The claims against them are something about whether they properly accounted for something financial. The response again not in a legal context but just from the president is that they always anticipated this kind of attack and so they had bulletproof accounting exactly for this reason and all they have to do is show it and it'll go away.

But in the meantime yeah it's like swatting. That's exactly right. In the comments on Locals somebody said it's like swatting a stock. That's exactly right. It's like swatting a company. So is there anything to the claim? Well we don't know. But we do know that the person making the claim according to the president of Rumble is a financially motivated person who would benefit whether it was true or not, right?

So the claim from Rumble is that the source of the accusation is somebody who would make a lot of money even if it's not true. So you should judge its credibility at exactly zero. Does that make sense for a risk management kind of understanding the world basis? It doesn't mean it's not true. It doesn't mean it's not true. But you should judge its credibility actually zero because there's somebody who has a financial motivation, a gigantic one, and they're in the business of doing this very kind of thing. So no, this is not a believable accusation.

But like I say sometimes accusations are true even if they don't seem credible when they're made. So you can't rule anything out but I wouldn't give it any credibility at this stage.

And oh I guess I full disclosure — I'm sorry I should have disclosed this — I am a stockholder in Rumble. So I owned an initial investment, very small one in Locals which got acquired by Rumble which allowed my stock to roll over into Rumble. So I'm a stockholder at a much higher price and the last I saw it was in the threes I think. It went public around 12 and now the short seller drove it down to about three. So the short selling works. I mean it's a dirty trick but it works.

So I'm holding my stock considering doubling it but that is not financial advice. That would be pure gambling. Let me say that again. I'm considering doubling my holding but it would be a super risky play. I do not recommend you do that. It's pure risk, just pure gambling, right?

But the play would be this and again don't follow my advice. Do not follow my financial advice on this or anything else unless I tell you to diversify your portfolio. If I tell you to diversify, listen to that. If I tell you to buy or sell a specific stock, do not listen to that or anybody else. But I'll tell you the thinking.

Investing makes most sense when you think you have special insight that the market doesn't have. You're usually wrong which is why you shouldn't do this. But here's my special insight. It is more likely true that Rumble is being unfairly attacked than it is likely to be true that the accusations are true. Now I don't know what the odds are but it's not 50-50. It is definitely weighted heavily toward it not being true.

Now if it turns out that the SEC goes through it and it's not true you'd expect maybe at least a 25% bump in the stock. So that would be reason that a rich person — only a rich person, don't do this if you're struggling — might gamble. You know just because it's kind of a fun gamble. But I do gamble that the news is wrong when I invest. That's a common method I've used. Don't use that method but it's just one that I use to some effect. I wouldn't say it works all the time.

Well Delta Airline is racist. Robbie Starbuck reports on X platform. He showed a photo of a Delta Airlines training that says they instruct their employees to capitalize the words Black and Brown when talking about people but to lowercase white. That are you okay with that? To capitalize Black and Brown but not white even when used in the same context about talking about people? No that's completely racist and Delta you are despicable.

Yeah if this is true — I mean I saw a photograph of it but you know anything could be faked — if it's true this is pure racism. And by the way that's the definition of racism, treating people differently in an official sense. Individuals are different but a company doing it would be racism. Individuals can do whatever they want. There's no law against that.

All right. You all know probably the story if you're following the news. A lot of an American independent reporter named Gonzalo Lira who is reporting very inconvenient things from Ukraine and he was reporting things that the leadership in Ukraine would not want to see. He was put in jail and reportedly he has died in prison. And some say he died from poor medical care. Some people say he was murdered.

David Sacks points out and I agree, what's the difference? They put him there to take care of him. You know if he died because they gave him bad service or he died because they strangled him, they killed him, right? So the Ukrainian government killed an American. But at least America tried really hard to get him out because he was unfairly accused, right? Nope, nope. It looks like America let him die because he was also saying things inconvenient to America.

He was for example — and I don't know the truth of any of these accusations I'll just say — he's making these accusations that the war in Ukraine was largely Victoria Nuland, American Victoria Nuland being a bully and having bad motivation. I have no independent knowledge of what she did or didn't do but that was his accusation. And a lot of people said this by the way. Tucker Carlson often says Victoria Nuland is the center of the war machine that likes to profit from war. The neocons, the neocons as they say.

Now I don't know about any of that but that's his accusation and a lot of other people's accusations. But he went on — I saw a video of Gonzalo before he died because the videos of him after he died are less interesting really. But before he died he had the following theory that for some reason I didn't know. Now I don't know if it's true but I certainly should have heard about it.

And here's what he said about Ukraine. He said there's this billionaire who funded and he was sort of behind the production company that created a TV show about a Ukrainian guy who became president. And he hired Zelensky and Zelensky was the star of the show. What was the name of the show? Servant of the People. Was that the name of the TV show? Give me confirmation on that. So Servant of the People.

All right so the TV show was called Servant of the People and Zelensky was the star. And part of what Gonzalo Lira reports is that for reasons that are mysterious it was a gigantic hit. Now what makes that mysterious is it wasn't really that good a show but it had massive advertising, some kind of massive support. So it looked like it was sort of artificially pushed to the top of the market by powerful forces.

Now here's the interesting part. Then the same billionaire who funded the TV show allegedly — again none of this is from me, this is from allegations — allegedly created a political party and he called it the same name as the TV show, Servant of the People. And then they needed a candidate so he picked Zelensky who had no political experience but he had made him super popular as an actor pretending to be a president. And then you know nobody believes that elections in Ukraine are true so then Zelensky becomes president.

Did the US help? Probably. What was that, their intention? Were they working with this billionaire? Well I don't know if they were colluding with him but they might have been. They might have had compatible interests at one point. It's unclear. But it gets better. If you think that's the good part of the story you haven't heard the good part.

Now again these are only accusations. The same billionaire owned either a lot of or most of another company you might have heard of. It's called Burisma. That's right. The same billionaire who owned Burisma that was paying Hunter Biden and 10% of that theoretically was going to the big guy was putting Zelensky as a puppet in charge of the Ukrainian government. And maybe the entire operation was a coordinated effort to use Ukraine as a piggy bank, destroy the country, suck its resources out, launder money and also maybe give Putin a hard time which would be just a bonus.

Now is any of that true? I don't know. All I know for sure is that the guy saying it just got killed by Ukraine and America didn't complain. So the suggestion is everything seems to be compatible with it being true. What would be incompatible with this being true? Is there any counterfactual to it? I mean it's hard to prove a negative of course so it doesn't mean it's true just because you don't have an argument against it. But it's feeling really true, right?

Yeah I'm very biased by the fact that everything that we've imagined as a conspiracy theory ends up being pretty close to true. So probably I'll tell you what I believe to be true based on not just this story but the totality of information. It does seem to me that Ukraine was always a piggy bank for the billionaires and the political class. It does seem that American politicians have been wetting their beaks in Ukraine possibly for decades. And it's exactly what it looks like. And that the war was optional. And that killing people to make money is the business of America. And killing our own citizens to make money is a critical part of that. That's what it looks like.

It looks like the Bidens are deeply involved in that part of the world. So I don't know what's true but that's what it looks like. And it looks like that American government and the Ukrainian government conspired to kill an American. So let me say that directly. I don't know that it's true but the evidence strongly suggests that the Biden administration killed an American to keep him quiet. Now killed him by not freeing him which could have been easily done because obviously America can get Zelensky to free anybody we want. Would you agree?

If the president said to Zelensky all right here's the deal I don't care what he's charged with, he's an American, let him go, Zelensky would have put the key in the door five minutes later. Zelensky isn't going to ruin Ukraine over one reporter in jail. Nobody would make that tradeoff, right? So you can know for sure that America wasn't interested in his life or wanted him to die in jail. So I would say it's a case of murder. The evidence suggests that the Biden administration and Joe Biden specifically because he would be the boss, the evidence suggests that Biden was part of a plot to murder an American citizen.

Yeah now maybe murder by statistics. Now what I say by murder by statistics is you put him in a situation where he's probably going to die. A Ukrainian prison, probably going to die. Now you could say well that's not technically murder because you didn't cause that, you just put him in a situation where he's probably going to die. No I call that murder. That's called murder. We got Brittney Griner out of Russia. You don't think we could get an American out of Ukraine?

All right yeah so I would say that the official stories are ridiculous. The accusations are wild but they fit the facts that we know.

All right so let me ask you this. Do you see a lot of news today about the war in Ukraine? Anybody? Did you see the news is just covered with no, no there's a big old war over there and suddenly the news isn't interested? Huh weird isn't it? It's like they're all coordinated or something. Suddenly it just got uninteresting, didn't it?

Yeah how about all the coverage on Gaza today? Gaza it's just wall to wall. What? Nothing? Oh nothing about Gaza, the other war we're in? Yeah how about the war in Yemen? We know that we attacked Yemen and I guess it happened again two days in a row but massive coverage with lots of details, right? Nope, nope.

Why would there be so little media coverage of the United States being in three different wars? Well it might have something to do with some comments that Donald Trump recently made on Truth Social that got promulgated on X. And Trump said that Joe Biden got us into three different wars — Ukraine, Gaza situation, Yemen — and that he's the worst president in the history of the United States.

So Trump is pushing the idea that Joe Biden is a war starter and the news just went silent on three wars right in front of you. Right in front of you, right? It's not like I'm coming up with some conspiracy theory. You know there are three wars and you can look at the news and you can see that they're clearly intentionally underplaying them because it would not work to their narrative.

Now I like Trump's persuasion when he says that Biden is the worst president in the history of the United States. What's he doing there? What persuasion trick is that that I've taught you many times? Yeah he's making you pass the sale. That he's a terrible president. If you're thinking whether he's the worst you've already accepted that he's in the bottom 10% or something and that would be enough.

Right now in my opinion he actually is the worst president in the history of the United States. I do think he surpassed Jimmy Carter. Would you agree? Because Jimmy Carter kind of classically was considered the worst president but I think Biden has now surpassed him.

Now to be fair Biden has some successes. He has some successes but probably Jimmy Carter did too. So it's not about the fact he had some successes. It's also about what you got wrong. And starting three wars plus one on our southern border which you're ignoring, the only one that affects the homeland, the only one that affects the homeland he's ignoring. That is worst president in the history of the United States.

If the only thing I told you was he got us involved in three foreign wars and didn't protect us from the active invasion on the southern border, would you need to know anything about his economic policy to decide who is the worst president? No you would not. Would you need to know his views on LGBTQ to know he's the worst president in the history of the United States? No you would not. You wouldn't need to know that. It wouldn't be relevant to the overall obvious characterization of his presidency which is basically starting wars that probably didn't need to be started, getting us involved, using up our weapons, shipping, using up all our oil and our strategic reserves, giving away all our artillery shells. It just goes on and on. The worst president in the history of the Republic. I think that's just obvious.

Now you know no matter what you think of Trump or anybody else I think he's pretty clearly the worst. And the fact that he's not even really conscious and able to even show up at events. I mean how did we allow that to be normalized? You know I always give this quote from my mother. She always used to say you can get used to anything if you do it long enough. And that explains so much of the world like why things are the way they are.

Did I declare a race war? There's an article. Did Scott Adams declare a race war? Typical election year kind of social media activity anyway. So that's where we're at.

Yesterday as a public service — and I know that sounds like a joke but actually it was as a public service — I spent hours putting together a debunk of the drinking bleach hoax. The reason I did it is because it just hadn't been done and nobody in the news had ever done it. And it was one of the biggest stories of all time and nobody had ever covered the story. Let me say that again. One of the biggest stories of the Trump presidency that he said hey you should drink bleach which of course never happened. It was a hoax. And the major media has never covered the story. Just think about that. Is that all you need to know about the uniparty?

Do you ever remember Fox News doing the investigative report showing exactly what happened and how the hoax was created? Nope. Nobody else ever did it either. So I did it. So you can see it on Locals but I link to it on X. So look at my feed of the drinking bleach hoax.

Now I'll tell you what's there so you'll see the entire transcript but I highlighted so that you don't have to go through the whole thing the parts where he mentioned light. So when you see the whole thing it's so super clear what happened. And of course people are still denying it even after they read it. But here's what you need to know.

When he teased his guest and said you know I've got this guest, he said there's like really exciting news. And then the guest came out and said we tried various things to kill the virus on external surfaces. We tried some bleach, we tried some isopropyl but let me tell you compared to those things what really worked is light. So light was really the topic. Light was mentioned 21 times by either Trump or somebody else as the main topic of the event. Were you aware of that?

How many of you knew that the main theme was about light as a disinfectant? Did the news tell you that? No, no. And what did the experts say about bleach and isopropyl and liquid disinfectants? The only thing they said about them is that they don't work anywhere near as good as light.

Now do you remember the part where Trump talked to Dr. Birx at the same event in public and he said will the light work on porous surfaces meaning skin? And the doctor said well probably works better on non-porous surfaces but yes you know you would expect it would work a little bit but maybe not as good. So now we have clarification that when Trump said something really exciting is going to be revealed he did not mean bleach and he did not mean isopropyl because you know what? Every person already knew that those things kill viruses. Am I right? Everybody already knew. The whole country, every citizen, every person knew that disinfectants killed viruses on surfaces.

The only thing new that was presented was that light was a superstar. The whole point of the thing. Light is a superstar. Did you know that? The news didn't tell you that. It was all about light as a superstar. So the news didn't tell you that there was a trial of light and that the Wall Street Journal talked about it after that event that there was a company, UV Biosciences, that said yes that's us. We're putting light in a catheter, putting it down the throat i.e. injecting it into a body to see if it works. Turns out it didn't work as well as they wanted but it was being trialed at the time and Trump knew about it.

How do I know that Trump knew about it? Because I was tweeting it two days before the event and other people were retweeting it and we know that his staff and he looked at that news. And we also know that he's drawn to things that are good news. He's especially drawn to hearing this. There might be a solution. There might be some good news. So did his staff tell him about something that would be exciting and might be good news? Probably. Probably they told him because it's exactly what he wants to hear. Tell me some good news about something that might be working so I can tell that story. And so that's why he was excited.

Now you want some more confirmation that he was only talking about light because people still say he wasn't. Here it is. When the experts said we tried the bleach and the isopropyl it did kill the virus but it would take you know a while, several minutes. But when we tried light, boom, two minutes, gone. So light was the two-minute one. The other ones take much longer.

So when Trump was talking about disinfectant he said and look and it could kill it in one minute. And he repeated one minute more than once. There was only one topic of one disinfectant that could work in the, you know the experts said two minutes and Trump did his usual Trumpian thing of making it one minute. But there was only one thing that was ever discussed that could be that quick. It was always light.

And if you look at all the references Trump made to light he never once talked about anything that wasn't light. Not once. But he did however use the word disinfectant in the middle of a discussion about light. So people put that one word out.

Now how did the hoax get created when he very clearly was talking about only light? Jim Acosta asks a question of one of the experts. He says well you wouldn't put these you know bleach and isopropyl and disinfectants into your body would you? Or I'm paraphrasing, something like that. And the expert said no no no you wouldn't do that. So Jim Acosta started the hoax by pretending he didn't understand that it was always about light. That's how the hoax was created.

So once he pretended that he thought he heard that it was about these other things then the rest of the news just picked it up and it became the hoax. Yeah so that's how it happened.

Now what you should learn from it is how hoaxes are created. You know we can't go back in time. It doesn't really matter at this point. But if you learn that they can so easily create a hoax and here are the mechanics. The first mechanic is you take something out of context. So they had to cut off his many references to light and they had to completely remove his conversation with Birx, same event on the stage in public. They had to remove the whole Birx conversation because that would be so obvious that he was talking about skin the whole time. I mean really obvious. So they had to just get rid of it.

So they get rid of it and then if you want to see the transcript they'll show you just the parts that are edited and you think you actually saw the transcript but you didn't. Or they'll show you the entire transcript which is 35 pages and it's just too much work to pick out what happened. So I did that for you. So I took the whole transcript but you don't need to read it because I've highlighted just the half dozen places that matter so you could just read those.

So for the first time in the history of America somebody explained how the drinking bleach hoax started in great detail. You can see it yourself. There's no question about it. But what you should learn is that they can do a selective edit. That's how the fine people hoax started. It's how the Covington kids thing was pushed. It's how the overfeeding the coyotes hoax was pushed. Yeah it's called a rupar because it's a selective edit.

But then the second part of it is that somebody takes it out of context and then all the rest of the media pretends that was a reasonable interpretation. So it's the repetition over and over that turns it into the hoax. It's not just the misinterpretation, it's the repetition. Yeah a wrap-up smear. I don't know if that's a wrap-up smear but it's in the same category.

All right so yeah we don't know about Yemen. It's all fog of war stuff so I don't have much to say about that. Don't you think — do you think we're being suckers because it seemed pretty obvious that Yemen was begging us to attack? If you attack somebody who very clearly wants you to attack like Hamas and Gaza, are you really winning? Makes you wonder. Makes you wonder what winning looks like if you're killing people who wanted you to attack them and kill them at least a little bit. I don't know. So I don't know if we're winning or not.

But let me ask you a question that nobody's asked. Since we know for sure that these are all Iranian proxies — so Hamas is Iranian proxy, Hezbollah is, the Houthis, and the attacks in Syria and Iraq on American forces, all are — do the Iranians not have any ships? What am I missing? Not one Iranian ship have we blown out of the water? Yeah can you tell me that this would be hard to solve if Vivek or Trump were president?

Let me solve it for you. Hey Iran, you use the Red Sea too. If I see one more missile come from your proxies in Yemen we're going to take out your biggest tanker. And if it happens again we're going to take out your second biggest tanker. Oh but we will retaliate. We will retaliate so hard. Yep did you hear the part about if you take out our Iranian tanker but we'll retaliate really hard? Yep. And then you're done. It was that hard.

No instead we've got bedridden Lloyd Austin like attack. I feel so confident. Well at least we don't have the dementia patient making the military decisions. Instead we have the guy in the hospital bed. So fear us. Fear us. Our hospitalized guy and our dementia guy are coming for you. Don't worry about our lack of artillery. At least we don't need any artillery in this case. Or do we? Maybe we will.

All right so the Biden campaign has told CNN to tell the rest of you that what they expect is that the undecided voters have not been paying attention and that as soon as they realize that the race will actually be Biden versus Trump then all those undecided people are going to go what what and they'll line up for Biden and then Biden will win.

Do you see the play? So there's a narrative forming for why everything's going to change at the last minute. That's literally happening right in front of you. What would you do if you were going to rig elections and you knew it? You would start about now to tell a story about how all the people who haven't quite shown up in the polling are going to show up and there's a good reason why it'll be toward the end. Well that's convenient.

But they're not wrong. I don't think they're wrong. Do you know how many people in the general public have heard of just heard of Vivek Ramaswamy? Have you tried asking your normie friends what they think about Vivek? What do they say? Every person I've asked who isn't like a real political person, every person who's just a normie, they say the same thing. Who? Vivek Ramaswamy running for president, Republican? He's all over social media. And they say yeah it doesn't ring a bell.

What do you think causes that? Well some of it is the media coverage but a lot of it is that the undecideds really are not paying attention. The undecideds know they can just kind of wait till the end and make a decision the week of election day if they want to. There's no rule against that. So you do have to remember how uninvolved the public is. And I agree that if the anti-Trump people realize that he's the guy they might form up on the other side. That's possible.

It's a little bit more possible that Joe Biden's obvious decline will be so bad in less than a year that he will literally be a vegetable and he's still going to win probably.

All right. A Biden spokesperson, Michael Tyler, who's the Biden communications director, Michael Tyler, he said this and I want to see if this sounds like the scariest thing any American has ever said in any context. That's a big claim, right? The scariest thing that any American has ever said in any context. I'm going to see if I can meet that. Do you think I can meet that? The scariest thing any human has said in any context.

Here it is. Direct quote, talking about Biden, he says quote the president looks forward to spending the next 10 months reminding the American people how dangerous Donald Trump and his MAGA agenda are for Americans' pocketbooks, their freedoms, and their democracy.

You know I don't mind when our presidential candidates lie. You know I kind of expect it. I don't mind some exaggeration, some hyperbole, kind of expected. I don't even mind when they try to scare you because usually they're scaring you about something real. I didn't mind when Trump said you should be scared about the border. I didn't think I should be that scared but I thought that was just good politicking because the border was a real problem obviously and it did bring in real crime etc. along with good people. But that was fair because it was a dangerous situation. Maybe he exaggerated it, some would say, maybe not if you look at current events. But fear does make sense when you're a leader and there's something you need to be afraid of so you can act on it. I get that.

But you know what you don't need to be afraid of? The MAGA agenda. The MAGA agenda is literally about keeping you safer. That's almost the entire thing. How can I keep you safer? How can we avoid being a dictatorship? How can we keep America as some kind of republic if it ever was? So the fact that the way Biden is framing this is in revolutionary Civil War terms is actually the scariest thing I've ever heard an American say. That is the scariest thing I've ever heard. And it's scary because it's not true. If it were true it might also be scary but it would at least be in the service of some benefit and I'd be like okay. But to actually say this when it's very obviously not true that democracy is at stake, that's some dangerous, dangerous stuff to put into the American world.

All right let me tell you my current thinking, very biased by all the stuff I see. My current thinking is it's very unlikely that America has been a real republic probably for a long time if ever. If ever. To me it seems sort of obvious that the pretend stuff we do, voting for things, is not how anything happens. Now I don't know who's in charge or if it changes or if it's some billionaires fighting it out and then we just find out who wins later. I don't know exactly what's happening but I do know there's very little evidence that we live in a genuine republic where the citizens become informed and then choose their leader. I don't think that's happened maybe for a long time.

And when you look at the lack of interest from both parties in fixing our election system — now there are members who do ask for it a lot but as a group neither the Republican Party nor the Democrats seem to show any real interest in fixing it because each of them controls states and one has to assume that they like controlling their state and winning in their state every time because they control the election so they don't want to give it up.

And maybe it would. So I think under that situation the working assumption is that we don't live in a republic. We live in a kleptocracy in which there's some group of billionaires who have figured out how to game the system to make more billions of dollars. That's what it seems like. So I would say that I don't feel like I've ever been part of a republic. That's my current opinion.

Now again I can't say that that's truth. I like to use the phrase a working assumption because it fits the facts better. If the facts were more compatible with us being a real democratically driven republic then I would favor that. I would take that as my view. But the facts really strongly argue against it. You know the entire situation with Trump, I don't think it could be much more clear than that.

All right so that ladies and gentlemen is my amazing show for today. Thanks for joining on YouTube and Rumble and X. You're all wonderful. Hope you enjoyed yourself and I will see you same time tomorrow.

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and pretty sure you've never had a better time this is going to be an amazing morning for you full of intrigue interest special interest human interest every kind of interest if you'd like to take this up to a level that well humans can barely even understand all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass a tanker chal toin a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go very good very good top 10 one of the best sips ever hey let's talk about the news I don't know why this is news but uh Fox News has reportedly pilled pilled pulled pulled not pilled they pulled the pillow advertisements for my pillow and Mike Lindell now there were no reason given but there's a coincidence involved that apparently Mike Lindell has his own network is that true Mike Lindell started his own network for news and apparently Mike Lindell hired um an X Fox News guy Mike um what's his name why am I forgetting his name the one who used to work in lbs yeah so he so Mike Lindell hires lbs who used to work for Fox News I think they had similar opinions about the accuracy of the last election and Fox News pulled the advertisements in other words Fox News was no longer willing to take money from Mike Lindell that's pretty radical isn't it that you're no no no longer willing to take money from your one of your biggest advertisers interesting but they got plenty of ticktock money because Tik tok's an advertised now no problem what what could possibly be the problem here yeah no problem so that's probably exactly what it looks like um Fox News would be a competitor I guess with Mike Lindell so they just wanted to cut connections that's not actually too surprising you know once once he becomes their competitor you know can't can't expect him to play along all right uh NBC has a news story today about uh what science has discovered about a giant 10-ft ape that that lived 200,000 years ago uh in China they found some bones I guess but they figured out what killed the 10- foot huge Apes can you guess do you want to take a guess climate change that's right yeah according to NBC news our science is now so good that we can tell what a monkey was thinking 200,000 years ago they actually make that claim they say that the uh climate made it difficult for them to get their normal food source and unlike the other Apes okay it's an ape not a monkey but unlike the other Apes who adjusted and you know just found other food sources uh these big old Apes uh they were too dumb and they decided not to diversify the food sources so they they died so climate change killed the big the big Apes now remember I told you that you can't understand any of the news unless you know the players now allegedly I don't I don't have confirmation of this myself but people who seem to know more than I do claim that NBC is a big old CIA propaganda you know operation is it how would I know I wouldn't know but I'll tell you what if they were that would act exactly like this what what do you think it does to you when you hear that something that's in a little bit like you you know an upright walking probably 10 foot ape don't you say to yourself huh if climate change killed that Big Ape aren't we in danger yes now obviously there's not a direct connection between the 200,000 year old apes and and humans but your brain doesn't know that your your brain will say uhoh it killed a Big Ape just like me it must be ready to kill me too so this is the kind of story that you would only expect from somebody who's tried to brainwash you right now how many of you think the science actually knows why these Apes died to 100,000 years ago do you think you really know that do you think this science can figure out what the Apes were thinking and why they died 200,000 years ago the the absurdity that they would want us to believe that that's something they can do or they can know it's pretty funny actually you're saying to yourself Scott can you move that microphone because it's putting an annoying Shadow on your chin how many of you were thinking that just now yeah you were thinking that but now it's all better you're welcome all right well uh are all of you uh as puzzled as I am why the following story is not being carried by all the major news organizations is there something I missed or do I have a a date wrong or something here's what I think happened I think I think that uh representative Tim berett and a couple other of uh people Congress had access to a skiff the top secret most secretive place you could ever go to look at materials that are so secretive you can't even make a copy so you have to go see the originals in a special little secure building because that's our top top top secret nothing is more secret than stuff that's in a skiff so of course the representatives can't tell us what they saw because they get to see it but it's top secret so what did Tim Brett say after uh he saw this stuff he said that uh it was obvious to the people who were with him and to him that uh David grush The Whistleblower about the UFOs is legit now David grush says that the US has in his possession numerous downed UFOs and Al what he calls biologics in other words parts of the aliens themselves and we got them in big warehouses and that's well known it's been going on for years and according to Tim bersett and the top secret information which he can't be more specific about he can tell us that everybody who was in the skiff believes that the Whistleblower is legit and that Earth is being visited by some kind of advanced intelligence either for manner space or for the inner core or possibly the ocean or possibly North Korea because we don't know what's going on up there oh what do you think about that there was another representative who uh I didn't get his name but he he had a a great answer for why um Congress can't get better answers from the government about the UFOs or uaps as they like to call them and what he said was you can ask these guys questions but everybody is only allowed to answer in their little domain so it's actually possible this is hilarious to me as the author of Dilbert it's possible that the government is so incompetent that every part of the government only knows one thing and that the government collectively doesn't know if the aliens are real or if they have them that's right I actually believe that the government as an entity doesn't know if it has in its possession aliens now I know that sounds ridiculous now that would now what I mean is that if we had any aliens which I'm super skeptical of I don't think we have any aliens or any spaceships and I'm going to I'm going to say that forever like you I'd have to touch it myself to believe there's an alien spaceship no I don't think there are any ens but I think it's fascinating that the information in the government is so compartmentalized and of course every government employee knows I can only talk about the thing I know I'll get fired if I talk about anything else it may be that you can't ask enough questions to find out what's going on because there's nobody who could tell you not only what they do but how it connects to other people and without that you wouldn't know what's going on so and the I figure which politician was was yesterday said if you don't know to ask the exact question they're not going to help you because they could only going to answer the exact question so if you said to them uh The Whistleblower says you have I'll just make make this up but the Whistleblower says you have 10 Alon UFOs is that true no it's not true what did you learn you didn't learn whether or not there's aliens because you didn't ask the question right you should have asked are there any do we have any ship so that I'm just making up that example but the point is it might be that the government is so ineffective and distributed and bureaucratic that almost nobody in the government can even answer the question do we have any aliens so presumably there would be a very small number of people who knew the real answer if we had real aliens but I don't think we have real aliens do you know what I think I think it's a CIA op and I think the op is being played on these members of Congress I think Tim Beret is being uh played I I think that they they've identified him as a gullible I hate to say it because I kind of like him you know when I when I see him on TV I see him a lot I say to myself oh I'd like that guy like he'd be somebody you'd hang out with and have a beer like he just looks like a real nice guy and he looks like he's actually treding to do the right thing you know he gives off the vibe of an actual citizen who got elected who wants to help and I think that they're using him I think that his sincerity is what makes him uh a little bit vulnerable now I'm just speculating I don't have any I have no information you know to directly say that but I'm pretty sure we don't have any aliens so if there was anything in a skiff that suggested we all we abs abolutely have some aliens that had to be our intelligence people distracting us right because while this was happening and then now here's the other thing I looked um I saw a video clip about this this topic yesterday and I said to myself oh i' better catch up on this story must be a big story in the Press because if Cong if members of Congress are talking about it and they had this experience and they had this Revelation that these aliens are real that's like the biggest story isn't it did you see that story anywhere in the Press did you see it written anywhere I saw I did a Google Search and there were a bunch of videos that probably all appointed to the same video why why would there be like a You.

Tube video or two but nobody wrote a story members of our government just confirmed that our government has alien spaceships and bodies now confirmed I don't mean it's true because I'm sure it's not true but they thought so there are members of our government who saw secret information from our government and then told the public yeah it's true and it's not on CNN there's no written article about it what does that tell you what do does that tell you I mean to me it tells me the Press knows it's not true what else could you conclude it would be the biggest story not just of the week of the year of the decade of the century of the entire history of humanity it would be the biggest story of all there wouldn't be no bigger story right and a disappeared the biggest story in the history of humankind if it were true but CNN decided that wasn't newsworthy here's what I think I think at the top of the news uh pile they know it's not true and so they don't want to be the embarrassed ones who write about it so that there're maybe everybody's hoping somebody else will cover it it's like well I hope you guys cover it cuz this one doesn't seem too true to us I just think about the fact that Tim brette is a Republican and I'm pretty sure that Fox News didn't cover the story did they did Fox News cover it in let's say written form they may have had a video like others did it's weird that it exists only in video because they're making it disappear pretty well anyway so it might be some kind of a dilber situation cover up that's accidental or intentional who knows uh Trump lost a lawsuit I guess he was pressing a lawsuit against the New York Times over reporting about his financials and he lost so he's going to pay the legal fees $400,000 so does that tell you that Trump lost because he has to pay $400,000 depends what you call winning if I were these reporters I would say to myself I sure hated my last year I I just spent a year defending myself in court and buying lawyers and borrowing money and and yeah that's great that's great that I'll get reimbursed but I just lost a year of my life do you think Trump is happy with the outcome $400,000 to send a warning signal to anyone else who would use what I'm guessing was maybe not the most confirmed or information or maybe they didn't put it in the quite the right context that showed both sides I don't know what the claim is exactly but don't you think it sends a chilling message to other reporters that if you're going to write about Trump maybe you better stick to the facts that you're really sure about know what you think I so I would call it a success for $400,000 at his level of wealth to send this uh warning shot across the bow of reporters who might be looking at more let's say speculative stories about him yeah it's a brushback pitch I think he got his money worth if that's if that's the end of the uh the story it just cost him $400,000 he got his money's worth yeah so I guess on Monday uh Iowa goes to vote for in the primary for the Republicans and the big stories about that are number one the weather so apparently the snow is just insane so the the ability of old people especially to even get to the polling places and or the caucus places I guess uh would be very limited now what does this tell you I'll tell you I'll tell you the message I'm getting from this every time you think you're in a system where the system is you know working to uh Express the will of the people so that the people can see for example uh that their vote counted and they picked the people that they want I feel like there's always it's like Charlie Brown's football there's always something that that's like pulling the football back just before you kick it and I feel like the Idaho results are going to be based on the weather does it feel like that to you ba basically Ju Just think about this V just absolutely blanketed that state like nobody's ever done before not only did he cover more of the precincts um he covered every one which which is called the full grassly he did a double grassly and then it kept going he did a double grassly he he visited every Precinct that I know twice twice never been done before just absolutely uh just absolutely was just all over uh the state and then it snows it it could be it could be that none of his work will make any difference just because it snowed like that's our system that's how we pick a president by the snow basically so I don't know if the snow suppresses Democrats the same amount as it suppresses Republicans but don't rep Republic Republicans skew older I think they do don't they Republicans tend to be a little older and if I saw a snowstorm I'd say fewer older people are going to go outside on the ice and in the snow so so good luck with that now V is uh confidently predicting a surprise now I don't know what a surprise looks like first place or strong strong showing I don't know what that would be but but he might be right and this would be a good test of the polling um I think there's a good chance that the people that V is attracting to show up are exactly see see if you think this is true the people he's attracting are very much exactly the people who don't show up in polling am I right because the pollers you know they got a problem because they're they got landlines that they're polling and then they do online polls by young people don't bother to even read them and you know a general poll of people who don't care about politics is completely different than the poll of people might actually show up on a primary or or a caucus right I mean those are pretty dedicated people so is it possible that V is reading the room correctly because he did have big crowds he had big crowds if the size of the crowds was the predictor and you didn't believe that the could you know dig down deep enough to find his supporters specifically he might have a surprise he he might actually he might actually pull this off yeah you know what's a fun uh party game uh I was playing this yesterday some of you heard me is to imagine the the founders of our country America you know the the famous ones your Ben Franklin's and your George Washingtons and Jeffersons and Hamilton and whatnot and then map yourself into one of the founders just ask yourself all right which one would I be you which one's closer and then fill out the other ones all right so so you get one free pass to be a Founder yourself uh I chose John Adams so you know might as well pick my cousin because I because I felt a little like John Adams in this current situation because we feel like we're in a new American Revolution especially with vake but also with Trump in that in order for many of us to get the president we want um we have to know or understand is there some big uni party power behind politics that we don't see directly like you need to know that right but doesn't it feel as though both V and Trump are a new American Revolution against these hidden powers that maybe we don't even know who they are I don't know if that even exists I don't even know if it exists I know there are a lot of people pretty sure it does but I don't hear names and you know I don't I don't see facts but it feels exactly like that doesn't it and we'll talk about that a little bit more but it does feel by coincidence that we have something like the founders have lined up the maps into Thomas Jefferson really easily because they're both bigger than big and smarter than smart and more patriotic than Patriots like that's Thomas Jefferson you know there were there were a lot of smart people but Jefferson was smarter than the Smart Ones that's faake he's not just smart he's smarter than the smart people and Jefferson did the you know Louisiana Purchase the American Revolution and that's about the size of the change the V is saying he'll do 75% cut in the government you know get us out of Wars basically huge changes so that's that's very Jeffersonian and then it does seem like uh maybe Trump feels a lot like uh George Washington doesn't it because Trump seems like the one who's going into battle he's actually fighting he's literally fighting the lawfare the the Cannons of the uh the system so George wa so George Washington is he's marshalling the Army you know the the magga army or whatever it is against the uh the Tories or whoever it is we're fighting H then it seems very much like Elon Musk is the the modern version of Ben Franklin now does he fit the the does he fit the model of a revolutionary well let's ask the Wall Street Journal because the Wall Street Journal just wrote the most stupid article you'll ever see that that decides that really whenever you think of uh Elon Musk you should think of Donald Trump because of the same same person you you goddamn pieces of in the Wall Street Journal what are you doing with this article what what are you educating us on what news is this this is pure propaganda this is disgusting you should really be ashamed of yourself Wall Street Journal this is not this is not up to your standard I usually have a lot of respect for the Wall Street Journal but this is not up to your standard this to me looks like a pure hip piece that they're trying to disguise as some kind of opinion journalism important story it's not important it's not journalism it's not news it's a hitpiece on one of the most useful Americans in the history of the Republic why because Elon Musk runs a platform that doesn't always hate Donald Trump and that's that's why it exists or at least that's why it got published I can't read the mind of the writer but I can tell you it doesn't have news value so you do the math right amazing amazing and how do they say he's the same because they both use Twitter really well that was one of the biggest evidences that they're populists who use Twitter really well how exactly do you write a HIIT piece about a populist does doesn't that sound almost like that's backwards what the hell is a populist except somebody that the people really like once they get to know him and they really agree with them once they get to know that's what a populist is somebody who's popular because they're doing the right things according to the public so they they've got to make populism look bad because Trump does it Trump's the best populist ever I don't know maybe of all time but Elon Musk is definitely a populist as well in the sense that he's trying to do things that make sense and are popular I don't think he does it because they're popular you that's obvious but he does seem to be very dedicated to what would be good and make sense such as population increase instead of decrease um so got that going on um how many of you saw the uh the AI created George Carlin standup comedy how many of you saw or listen to that clip anybody see that so the story was that AI had finally done what I said couldn't be done which is right humor there was high quality humor and in fact as good as the real George Carlin so there was a video that was going around and people were impressed because this uh the writing seemed to be almost humanlike quality and uh I think I tweeted it before I listened to it I listened to one joke or something and I thought the joke was so I thought well you know it's word play so probably AI did write it so I I spent the time to listen to more of it and about five minutes in it was super obvious that AI did not make that AI didn't make that how many you thought the AI really made it that that was your AI hoax of the weeks all right so it was confirmed by the way that it wasn't real yeah it it wasn't AI but here's um I'm going to give you well I guess I'm giving myself a pad on the back it took me just a few minutes of listening to it to know it couldn't be AI because AI can't do that AI can't do that so I was pretty sure the AI can't do that and sure enough it didn't it didn't even came it can't even come close so here's what it did that was my tip off uh part of the comedy was that George Carlin uh was insulting God for creating us and then creating all these diseases to kill us now on one hand that's said oh that's very George carinish it's right right in his sweet spot on the other hand there is no AI that will ever insult God AI is not going to insult God and it's certainly not going to mock people who have diseases it's not going to do that yes as soon as I heard the god part I was like come on there's no way this is AI but then then the story was okay it was written it was written by a human and we know the name of the human they admit it I think at the end of the video it actually says it actually somebody said at the end of the video which I didn't get to it reveals that it's not real um but the claim is that the the impersonation of George Carlin was AI even the impersonation didn't sound like him there wasn't one thing that sounded like George Carlin it didn't sound like his voice the writing actually was pretty close but it sounded like a it sounded like a human imitating George Carlin and I picked it out immediately now uh the only reason I watched it let me give a little credit here is that uh Greg geld had watched it and he sent me a message and said I probably shouldn't tell you what private messages people s but he wouldn't mind I don't think um you said this doesn't look real does it so Greg who writes jokes for a living and understands your writing of course you bestselling author uh it took him two minutes to say this can't be real and then I look I looked at it and was like this can't be real right so anybody who's a professional professional writer and professional humorist especially you see it right away yeah this did not fool anybody who is in the business all right there's uh no labels it's a third- party group and they've got this big pack and uh they're going to be raising money to run some third party person in 2024 who is not yet selected now what have I told you about how to understand news stories what I always tell you is if the only thing you know is the story you don't know anything you have to know the players in the story and how they're connected and then you understand the story so if the only thing I told you is there's this thirdparty group and they're raising money for a third party what does that tell you not really anything actually nothing because uh you don't know who they're going to run you don't know who they are you don't know if it's legitimate don't really know anything but now I'm going to tell you the people involved and watch watch all the gears go click click click click click and form a an entire picture for you right I want I don't even need to connect the dots I will but I don't need to listen to this uh let's see the person in charge the group will be led by Kathleen Shanahan who previously served as Chief of Staff to former Florida Governor Jeb Bush Republican and worked as an aid to former President George Bush and former Vice President Dick J any questions are are there any further questions yeah um this is your confirmation that we don't live in a republic yeah this is your unip party confirmation the Republicans are trying to take Trump out as much as the Democrats there's only one way that that makes sense that we don't have a real government there is no other explanation for this now if they tell you oh it's because we really think this third party is viable you know that's not true right you know they're not trying trying to actually elect anybody nobody thinks a third party can get elected the only reason for a third party is if you're True Believers do you think that uh this ex-chief of staff for these three major Republican establishment people do you think she's she's working out of a true belief about helping the Republic I don't think so I doubt it it just looks like she's working for the establishment Republicans so why would the establishment Republicans want to run a third party do you think they're doing it to help Trump do you think that the chief of staff previously of George of both Jeb and George and Dick Shady do you think that person has decided to help Trump no no no so remember A's uh warning that the real play is to uh bump Trump out one way or another whatever it takes uh put Haley in because she's the unip Party candidate that will spend our money on Wars now that sounds pretty conspirator crazy doesn't it honestly it sounds a little crazy except every piece of evidence that we can confirm seems to be very compatible with that point of view now I'm open to the argument that there's something in our reality that would tell me that's unlikely where the VES prediction that the election will be rigged by uh not just the vote necessarily but rigged by who's allowed to run in the end you the the final two it does look like that it looks exactly like that right so I'm not saying that I'm totally endorsing the uh the prediction that'll happen but the has a hypothesis which fits the facts if he's right about this well he probably is um all right yeah that's pretty much confirmed that we are not what whatever you thought about living in a republic I think you could throw that away I don't know what's going on exactly but this is pretty much proof we're not living in any kind of election you know Republic Democrat process something else is happening all right now what else um Biden Administration is looking to reclassify marijuana as a level three drug because it's not as dangerous as the level ones according to initial research um now this is why I've been promoting that we should have more trans people in government I mean I say it all the time you know what we need in government is a lot more trans people and here's why here's a perfect example uh Rachel La.

Vine uh Health and Human Services assistant secretary for health uh she wrote a letter to The Drug Enforcement Administration in which she's basically uh advocating for making marijuana schedule three so that is good work Rachel La.

Vine and all of you haters with your anti-r stuff well the jok's on you because Rachel lavine's doing some good work here according to me you don't have to agree with that by the way no uh can we can we do some NPC stuff I like to do the show for NPCs as well as the rest of you who are actually real people because I have NPCs who watch as well and I like to service everybody all right now uh if you're an NPC the way to look at the question of marijuana either legalization or change in the scheduling is this uh assume that everybody who smokes marijuana is injured or or nobody whoever smoked at marijuana had a bad experience and also you must believe that marijuana is either completely good for you all the time or completely bad for everybody all the time and then make your argument based on that now the people who are um real people not NPCs you are still allowed to look at the pluses and the minuses of all issues so you could say for example huh it appears as Scott is getting more benefit than cost and of it because he uses it medically and reports many many benefits and his life appears is no worse for it but you could also say equally true I know this teenager who is ruining their life because the marijuana is sucking all the joy out of them and turning them into porn addicts also true also true yeah and it's a tough question in a free Society whether I get the freedom to use it in a way that as far as I can tell is all entirely productive and makes me happy and I couldn't be happier at the same time I do know it's going to kill that teenager I do know that right and I don't want that so what do you do well that's why we have governments but uh Rachel La.

Vine good job on that um let's talk about the dumbest story in the news California reparations believe it or not this is still a story uh you remember the background that Governor Nome uh authorized a commission to go study the question of reparations for descendants of slaves and when the recommendation came back to give $1.2 million to every uh person who is eligible for reparations Governor Nome said I'm not going to endorse that I don't hate it I don't hate it I don't criticize it but I'm not accepting it and uh what he said was not that it was wrong or bad instead he said you know it's more it's about more than money reparations is about more than money it's about you know fixing systemic racism in a variety of ways yeah but the issue is still there and I would like to point out the following as long as this issue still exists in other words it's still an active question in California he can he can never be elected president a republican would bury him on this even though he didn't accept it they he would be forced to say I do not accept reparations even after I formed that commission or he's going to say it's still on the table and I haven't decided either one of those he can't win he cannot win because there are a lot of white people in a lot of States who say what if he gets away with that in California and he does it my state is going to be talking about that tomorrow and I'm going to pay because hair gel Hitler you know did this clever thing in California that is the most disqualifying issue of all issues I've ever seen I mean he literally would be running for president uh on a platform that he won't guarantee taking money from white people to give it to people of other races not just taxes but just take their money because they're white because they're white and give it to black people because they're black how do you get elected with that it's impossible yeah no there isn't any way he can be elected at to national office so all those of you who said and by the way I used to think this too that he would have a serious shot at getting elected no he can't as long as reparations out there he cannot get elected there there's no way he's going to get enough white votes to make that happen uh Rumble is under attack big surprise because you know rumble's a source of free speech and uh so you you you had to know that the government would come after them sure enough there's this short seller uh this is a claim from the president of Rumble that a short seller put together a report of sent it to the secc and the SEC said we're looking into it because somebody had reported there's some then the same person who reported it goes to the press and says hey don't look at me but the SEC is is says this is serious now what a short seller is is somebody who makes money if they can identify a company whose stock is going to drop like a rock so one of the dirty tricks they do is create the news that makes the stock drop so that they can make that you know quick cash uh okay and so uh so rumble's story is that it's completely illegitimate will be easily dismissed you know the the claims against them are something about the claims have something to do with whether they properly accounted for something Financial the response again not in a legal context but just from the president is that they always anticipated this kind of attack and so they had a bulletproof accounting exactly for this reason and all they have to do is show it and that's it'll go away but in the meantime yeah it's like swatting that's that's exactly right in the comments on locals somebody said it's like swatting a stock that's exactly right it's like swatting a company so is there anything to the claim well we don't know but we do know that the person making the claim according to the president of Rumble is a financial motivated person who would benefit whether it was true or not right so the claim from Rumble is that the source of the accusation is somebody who would make a lot of money even if it's not true so that so you should judge its credibility at exactly zero does that make sense for a riskmanagement kind of understanding the world um basis it doesn't mean it's not true doesn't mean mean it's not true but you should judge its credibility actually zero because there somebody has a a financial motivation a gigantic one and they're in the business of doing this very kind of thing so no this is not this is not a believable accusation but like I say sometimes accusations are true even if they don't seem credible when they're made so you can't rule anything out but I wouldn't give it any credibility at this at this stage and um oh I guess I I full disclosure uh I'm sorry I should have disclosed this uh I am a stockholder in Rumble so I owned an initial investment very small one in locals which got acquired by Rumble which allowed my stock to roll over into Rumble so I'm a stockholder at a much higher price and the last I saw it was in the 3es I think it went public around 12 and now the short seller drove it down down to about three so the short selling works I mean it's a dirty trick but it works so I'm holding my stock considering doubling it but that is not Financial advice that would be pure gambling let me say that again I'm considering doubling my holding but it would be a super risky play I do not recommend you do that that it's pure risk just pure gambling right but the play would be this and again don't follow my advice do not follow my financial advice on this or anything else unless I tell you to diversify your portfolio if I tell you to diversify listen to that right if I tell you to buy or sell a specific stock do not listen to that or anybody else right but I'll tell you the thinking uh investing investing makes most sense when you think you have special Insight that the market doesn't have you're usually wrong which is why you shouldn't do this but here's my special Insight it is more likely true that Rumble is being unfairly attacked than it is likely to be true that the accusations are true now I don't know what the odds are but it's not 5050 it is definitely you know weighted heavily toward it not being true now if it turns out that the SEC goes through it and it's not true you'd expect maybe a at least a 25% bump in the stock so that would be reason that a rich person only a rich person don't do this if you're struggling might gamble you know just because it's kind of a fun gamble but I do gamble that the news is wrong when I invest that's a common method I've used don't don't use that method it but it's just one that I use to some effect I wouldn't say it works all the time well Delta Airline is racist uh Robbie Starbuck reports on xplatform um he showed a photo of a Delta Airlines training that says they instruct their employees to capitalize the words black and brown when talking about people uh but to lowercase white that are you okay with that to capitalize black and brown but not white even when used in the same context about talking about people no that's completely racist and Delta you are despicable yeah if this is true I mean I saw a photograph of it but you know anything could be faked if it's true this is pure racism and by the way that's the definition of racism treating people differently in a in a official sense right individuals are different but a company doing it would be racism yeah individuals can do whatever they want there's no law against that all right uh you all know probably the story if you're following the news a lot of an American Independent reporter named gonzala lra who is reporting very inconvenient things from Ukraine and he was reporting things that the leadership Ukraine would not want to see he was put in jail and reportedly he has died in prison and some say he died from poor Medical Care some people say he was murdered uh David saaks points out and I agree what's the difference they put him there to take care of him you know if he died because they gave him bad service or he died because they strangled him they killed him right so the Ukrainian government killed an American but at least uh America tried really hard to get him out uh because he was unfairly accused right nope nope it looks like America let him die because he was also saying things inconvenient to America he was for example and I don't know the truth of any of these accusations I'll just say he's making he made these accusations that the war in Ukraine was largely uh Victoria nuland American Victoria nuland uh being a bully and having you know bad motivation I have no independent you know knowledge of what she did or didn't do but that was his accusation and a lot of people said this by the way the Tucker Carlson um often says Victoria nuland is you know the the center of the uh the war machine that likes to profit from war the neocons the neocons as they say now I don't know about any of that but that's his accusation and a lot of other people's accusations but he went on I saw a video of gonzala before he died because the videos of him after he died or less interesting really but before he died he was uh he had the following theory that I for some reason I didn't know now I don't know if it's true but I certainly should have heard about it and here's um yeah here here's what he said about Ukraine he said there's this uh billionaire who um funded and he was sort of behind the production company that created a TV show about a Ukrainian guy who became president and he hired zalinski and zalinski was the star of the show uh what was the name of the show something of the people servant of the people was that the name of the the TV show give me give me a confirmation on that so servant of the people all right so the TV show was called servant of the people and zalinsky was a star and um part of what uh Gonzalo lero reports is that for reasons that are mysterious it was a gigantic hit now what makes that mysterious is it wasn't really that good a show but it had massive like advertising some some kind of massive support so it looked like it was sort of artificially pushed to the top of the market by powerful forces now here's the interesting part then the same billionaire who funded the TV show allegedly again none of this is from me this is from allegations uh allegedly created a political party and he called it the same name as the TV show servant of the people and then they needed a candidate so he picked zinsky who had no political experience but he had made him super popular as an actor pretending to be a president and then you know nobody believes that elections in Ukraine are true so then zilinsky becomes president did the US help probably what was that their intention were they working with this billionaire well I don't know if they were colluding with him but they might have been they might have had compatible interests at one point it's unclear um but it gets better if you if you think that's the good part of the story you haven't heard the good star now again these are only accusations the same billionaire um owned either a lot of or most of another company you might have heard of it's called Uh bisma that's right the same billionaire who owned barisma that was paying Hunter Biden and 10% of that theoretically was going to the boss was putting zalinski as a puppet in charge of the Ukrainian government and maybe the entire operation was a coordinated effort to use Ukraine as a piggy bank destroy the country suck its resources out La money and also maybe give Putin a hard time which would be just a bonus now is any of that true I don't know all I know for sure is that the guy saying it just got killed by Ukraine and America didn't complain so the suggestion is everything seems to be compatible with it being true what would be incompatible with this being true is there any counterfactual to it I mean it's hard to prove a negative of course so it doesn't mean it's doesn't mean it's true just because you don't have an argument against it but it's feeling really true right yeah I'm it's I'm very biased by the fact that everything that we've imagined as a conspiracy theory ends up being pretty close to true so probably I'll tell you what I believe to be true you know based on not just this story but the the totality of information it does seem to me that Ukraine was always a piggy bank for the billionaires and the political class it does seem that American politicians have been wetting their beaks in Ukraine possibly for decades and uh it's exactly what it looks like and that the war was optional and that um killing people to make money is the business of America and killing our own citizens to make money is a critical part of that that that's what it looks like it looks like the bidens are uh deeply involved in that part of the world so I don't know what true but that's what it looks like and it looks like that American government and the Ukrainian government conspired to kill an American so let me let me say that directly I don't know that it's true but the evidence strongly suggests that the Biden Administration killed an American to keep him quiet now killed him by not ref freeing him which could have been easily done because obviously American can get zalinsky to free anybody we want would you agree if the president said to zilinski all right here's the deal I don't care what he's charged with he's an American let him go zinsky would have put the key in the door five minutes later zilinski isn't going to ruin Ukraine over one reporter in jail nobody would make that tradeoff right so you can know for sure that America wasn't interested in his life or wanted him to die in jail so I would say it's a case of murder the the evidence suggests that the Biden Administration and Joe Biden specifically because he would be the boss the the evidence suggests that Biden was part of a plot to murder an American citizens yeah now maybe Murder By statistics now what I say by Murder By statistics is you put him in a situation where he's probably going to die a Ukrainian prison probably going to die now you could say well that's not technically murder because you didn't cause that you just put him in a situation where he's probably going to die no I call that murder that's called Murder yeah we got Britany grinds out wait we got Britany grinder out of Russia you don't think we could get an American out of Ukraine all right yeah so I would say that the official stories are ridiculous the accusations are wild but they fit the facts that we know all right so um let me ask you this uh do you see a lot of uh news today about the war in Ukraine anybody did did you see the the news is just covered with no no there's a big old war over there and suddenly the news isn't interested huh weird isn't it it's like they're all coordinated or something suddenly it just got uninteresting didn't it yeah how about uh all the coverage on Gaza today Gaza it's just wall to wall what nothing oh nothing about Gaza the other War we're in yeah how about the war in Yemen we we know that we attacked Yemen and I guess it happened again you know two days in a row but massive coverage with lots of details s right nope nope why would there be so little media coverage of the United States being in three different Wars well it might have something to do with some comments that Donald Trump recently made on true social that got promulgated on acts he and uh Trump said that Joe Biden got us into three different Wars Ukraine you know Gaza situation Yemen uh and that he's the worst president in the history of the United States so Trump is pushing the idea that uh that Joe Biden is a war starter and the news just went silent on three Wars right in front of you they right in front of you right it it's not like I'm coming up with some conspiracy theory you know there are three Wars and you can look at the news and you can see that they're clearly intentionally underplaying them because it would not work to their narrative now I like uh Trump's persuasion when he says that Biden is the worst president in the history of the United States what's he doing there what persuasion trick is that that I've taught you many times yeah he's making you think pass the sale that he's a terrible president if you're thinking whether he's the worst you've already accepted that he's in the you know the bottom 10% or something and that would be enough right now in my opinion he actually is the worst president in the history of the United States I do think he surpassed Jimmy Carter would you agree because Jimmy Carter kind of classically was considered the worst president but I think Biden has now surpassed him now to be be fair Biden has some successes he has some successes but probably Jimmy Carter did too so it's not about the fact he had some successes it's also about what you got wrong and starting three Wars plus one on our Southern border which you're ignoring the the only one that affects the Homeland the only one that affects the Homeland he's ignoring that is worst president in the history of the United States if the only thing I told you was he got us involved in three Foreign Wars and didn't protect us from the active Invasion on their southern border would you need to know anything about his economic policy to decide who is the worst president no you not would you need to know his views on lgbtq to know he's the worst president in the history of the United States no you would not you wouldn't need to know that it wouldn't be relevant to the overall all obvious characterization of his presidency which is basically starting Wars that probably didn't need to be started uh getting us involved using up our weapons shipping using up all our oil and our strategic reserves giving away all our artillery shells it just goes on and on the worst president in the history of the Republic I I think that's just obvious now you know no matter what you think of trump or anybody else I think he's pretty clearly the worst and the fact that he's not even really conscious and able to even show up at events I mean how did we allow that to be normalized you know I I always give this quote from my mother she always used to say you can get used to anything if you do it long enough and that explains so much of the world like why things are doing the thing doing what they are did I declare a race war there's a article did Scott Adams declare a race war um typical uh election year kind of social media activity anyway um that's where we're at um yesterday as a public service and uh I know that sounds like a joke but actually was uh as a public service I spent uh hours putting together a debunk of the F of the drinking bleach hoax the reason I did it is because it just hadn't been done and nobody in the news had ever done it and it was one of the biggest stories of all time and nobody had ever covered it let me say that again one of the biggest stories of the Trump presidency that he said hey you should drink bleach which of course never happened it was a hoax and the major media has never covered the story just think about that is that all you need to know about the uni party do you ever remember uh Fox News doing the investigative report uh showing exactly what happened and how the hoax was created nope nobody else ever did it either so I did it so you can see it on locals but um I I link to it on X so look at my feed of the uh the drinking bleach hoax now I'll give you I'll tell you what's there so you'll see the entire transcript but I highlighted so that you don't have to go through the whole thing the parts where he mentioned light so when you see the whole thing it's so super clear what happened and of course people are still denying it even after they read it but here's what you need to know when he when he teased his guest and said you know I've got the this guest he said there's like a really exciting exciting news and then the guest came out and said we tried various things to kill the virus on external surfaces we tried some bleach we tried some isopropyl but let me tell you compared to those things what really worked is light so light was really the topic light was mentioned 21 Times by either Trump or somebody else as the main topic of the event were you aware of that how many of you knew that the main theme was about light as a disinfectant did the news tell you that no no and and what did the experts say about bleach and isopropyl and liquid disinfectants the only thing they said about them is that that they don't work anywhere near as good as light now do you remember the part where Trump talked to Dr.

Burks at the same event in public and he said will the light work on porous surfaces meaning skin and the doctor said well probably works better on non-porous servfaces but yes you know you would expect it would work a little bit but maybe not as good so now we have clarification that when PR when Trump said something really exciting is going to be revealed he did not mean bleach and he did not mean isopropyl because you know what every person already knew that those things kill viruses am I right everybody already knew the whole country every citizen every person knew that disinfectants killed viruses on surfaces the only thing new that was presented was that light was a superstar the whole point of the thing light is a superstar did you know that the news didn't tell you that it was all about about light as a superstar so the news didn't tell you that there was a trial of light and that the Wall Street Journal talked about it after that event that there was a company IU bioscience that said yes that's us we're putting light in a catheter putting it down the throat I.E injecting it into a body to see if it works turns out it didn't work as well as they wanted but it was being trialed at the time and Trump knew about it how do I know that Trump knew about it because I was tweeting it two days before the event and other people were retweeting it and we know that his staff and he looked at that news and we also know that he's drawn to things that are good news he he's especially drawn to hearing this there might be a solution there might be some good news so did his staff tell him about something that would be exciting and might be good news probably probably they told them because it's exactly what he wants to hear tell me some good news about something that might be working so I can tell that story and so that's why he was excited now you want some more confirmation that he was only talking about light because people still say he wasn't here it is when the experts said we tried the the bleach and the isopropyl it did Kill the virus but it would take you know a while several minutes but when we tried light boom two minutes gone so light was the two-minute one the other ones take much longer so when Trump was talking about disinfectant he said and look and it could kill it in one minute and he repeated one minute more than once there was only one topic of one disinfectant that could work in the know the experts said two minutes and Trump did his usual trumpian thing of making one minute but there was only one thing that was ever discussed that could be that quick it was always light and and if you look at all the references Trump made to light he never once talked about anything that was wasn't light not once but he did however use the word disinfectant in the middle of a discussion about light so people put that one word out now how did the hoax get created when he very clearly was talking about only light Jim aosta asks a question of one of the experts he says well you wouldn't put these you know bleach and isopropyl and disinfectants into your body would you or I'm paraphrasing something like that and the expert said no no no you wouldn't do that so Jim aosta started the hoax by pretending he didn't understand that it was always about light that's how the hoax was created so once he pretended that he he thought he heard that it was about these other things then the rest of the news just picked it up and it became became the hoax yeah so that's how it happened now what you should learn from it is how hoaxes are creative you know we can't go back in time it doesn't really matter at this point but if you learn that they can so easily create a hoax and here are the mechanics the first mechanic is you take something and a context so they had to cut off his many references to light and they had to completely remove his conversation with Burks same event on the stage in public they to remove the whole bur's conversation because that would be so obvious that he was talking about skin the whole time I mean really obvious so they had to just get rid of it so they get rid of it and then if you want to see the transcript they'll show you just the parts that are edited and you think you actually saw the transcript but you didn't or they'll show you the entire transcript which is 35 pages and you it's just too much work to pick out what happened so I did that for you so I took the whole transcript but you don't need to read it because I've highlighted just the half dozen places that matter so you could just read those so for the first time in the history of America somebody explained how the fine how the drinking bleach hoax started in great detail you can see it yourself there's no question about it but what you should learn is that they can do a selective edit that's how the fine people hoax started it's how the Covington kids thing was pushed it's how the overfeeding the koish hoax was pushed yeah it's called a rupar because it's a selective edit but then the second part of it is that somebody takes it out of context and then all the rest of the media pretends that was a reasonable interpretation so it's the repetition over and over that turns it into the hoax it's not just the misinterpretation it's the repetition yeah a wrap-up smear I don't know if that's a wrap-up smear but it's in the same category all right um so yeah we don't know about Yemen it's all fog of War stuff so I don't have much to say about that um don't you think do you think we're being suckers because it seemed pretty obvious that Yemen was begging us to attack if you attack somebody who very clearly wants you to attack like Hamas and Gaza are you really winning makes you wonder makes you wonder what winning looks like if you're killing people who wanted you to attack them and kill them at least a little bit I don't know so I don't know if we're winning or not but let me ask you a question that nobody's asked since we know for sure that these are all Iranian proxies so Hamas is Iranian proxy Hezbollah is the hoodies hoodies in the blow ship the and the the attacks in Syria and Iraq and American forces all r do the Iranians not have any ships what am I missing not one Iranian ship have we blown out of the water yeah can you tell me that this would be hard to solve if uh V or Trump were president let me let me solve it for you hey Iran you use the Red Sea too if I see one more missile come from your proxies in Yemen we're going to take out your biggest tanker and if it happens again we're going to take out your second biggest tanker oh but we will retaliate we will retaliate so hard yep did you hear the part about if you take out our Iranian tanker but we'll retaliate really hard yep and then you're done it was that hard no instead we've got bedridden Lloyd Austin like attack I feel so confident well at least we don't have the dementia patient making the military uh decisions instead we have the guy uh in the hospital bed so fear us fear us our hospitalized guy and our dementia guy are coming for you uh don't worry about our lack of artillery at least we don't need any artillery in this case or do we maybe we will um all right so the Biden campaign uh has told CNN to tell the rest of you that uh what they expect is that the undecided voters have not been paying attention and that as soon as they realize that the race will actually be Biden versus Trump Trump then all those undecided people are going to go what what and they'll they'll line up for Biden and then Biden will win do you see the play so there's a narrative forming for why everything's going to change at the last minute that's literally happening right in front of you what would you do if you were going to rig elections and you knew it you would start about now to tell a story about how all the people who haven't quite shown up in the polling are going to show up and there's a good reason why it'll be toward the end well that's convenient but they're not wrong I don't think they're wrong do you know how many people in the general public have heard of just heard of f ramaswami have you tried asking your Normie friends what they think about V what do they say every person I've asked who isn't like a real political person every person who's just a normie they say the same thing who you know aake ramaswami running for president Republican he's all over social media and they say yeah it doesn't ring a bell what do you think causes that well some of it is the media coverage but a lot of it is that the uh the undecided really are not paying attention the undecideds no they can just kind of wait till the end and make a decision the week of election day if they want to there there's no rule against that so you do have to remember how uninvolved the public is and I agree that if the anti-trump people realize that he's the guy they might form up on the other side that's possible it's a little bit more possible that Joe Biden's obvious decline will be so bad in less than a year that he will literally be a vegetable and he's still going to win probably all right um a Biden spokesperson Michael Tyler who's the uh let's see he a Biden communications director Michael Tyler he said this and I want to see if this sounds like the iest thing any American has ever said in any context that's a big claim right the scariest thing that any American has ever said in any context I'm going to see if I can meet that do you think I can meet that the scariest thing any human has said in any context here it is direct quote uh talking about Biden he says quote the president looks looks forward to spending the next 10 months reminding the American people how dangerous Donald Trump and his Mega agenda are for Americans pocketbooks their freedoms and their democracy you know I don't mind when our presidential candidates lie you know kind of expect it I don't mind some exaggeration some hyperbole kind of expected I don't even mind when they try to scare you because usually they're scaring you about something real I didn't mind when Trump said uh you should be scared about the Border I didn't think I should be that scared but I thought that was just good politicking because the Border was a real problem obviously and it did bring in real real crime Etc along with good people but um that was fair because it was a dangerous situation maybe he exaggerated it some would say maybe not if You' look at current events but fear does make sense when you're a leader and there's something you need to be afraid of so you can act on it I get that but you know what you don't need to be afraid of the mega agenda the mega agenda is literally about keeping you safer that's almost the entire thing how can I keep you safer how can we avoid you know being a dictatorship how can we you know keep America as some kind of Republic if it ever was so the fact that the way um Biden is forming this is in Revolutionary Civil War terms is actually the scariest thing I've ever heard an American say that is the scariest thing I've ever heard and it's scary because it's not true if it were true it it might also be scary but it would at least be in the service of you know some some benefit and I'd be like okay but to actually say this when it's very obviously not true uh that democracy is at stake that's that's some dangerous dangerous stuff to put into the American World all right let me tell you my current thinking very biased by all the stuff I see um my current thinking is it's very unlikely that America has been a real Republic probably for a long time if ever if ever to me it seems sort of obvious that the pretend stuff we do voting for things is not how anything happens now I don't know who's in charge or if it changes or you know if it's some billionaires fighting it out and then we just find out who wins later I don't know exactly what's happening but I do know there's very little evidence that we live in a genuine Republic where the where the citizens become informed and then choose their leader I don't think that's happened maybe for a long time and when you look at the lack of interest from both parties in fixing our election system now there are members who who do ask for it a lot but as a group neither the Republican Party nor the Democrats seem to show any real interest in fixing it because each of them controls States and one has to assume that they like controlling the their state and winning in their state every time because they control the election so they don't want to give it up and maybe it would you know so I think under that situation the working assumption is that we don't live in a republic we live in a a kleptocracy in which there's some group of billionaires who have figured out how to game the system to make more billions of dollars that's what it seems like so I I would say that um I don't feel like I've ever been part of uh a republic that's my current opinion now again I can't say that that's truth I I like to use the phrase a working assumption because it it fits the facts better if if the facts were more compatible with us being a real you know democratically driven Republic then I would favor that you know I would take that as my view but the facts really strongly argue against it you know the entire situation with Trump I don't think it could be much more clear than that yeah all right so that ladies and gentlemen is my amazing show for today thanks for joining on You.

Tube and Rumble and X you're all wonderful hope you enjoyed yourself and I will see you same time tomorrow

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams and

pretty sure you've never had a better

time this is going to be an amazing

morning for you full of intrigue

interest special interest human interest

every kind of interest if you'd like to

take this up to a level that well humans

can barely even understand all you need

for that is a cup or mug or a glass a

tanker chal toin a canteen jug or flask

a vessel of any kind fill it with your

favorite liquid I like coffee and join

me now for the unparallel pleasure the

dopamine of the day the thing that makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and it happens now

go very good very good top 10 one of the

best sips

ever hey let's talk about the

news I don't know why this is news but

uh Fox News has reportedly pilled pilled

pulled pulled not pilled they pulled the

pillow advertisements for my pillow and

Mike Lindell now there were no reason

given but there's a coincidence

involved that apparently Mike Lindell

has his own network is that true Mike

Lindell started his own network for

news and apparently Mike Lindell

hired um an X Fox News guy Mike um

what's his name why am I forgetting his

name the one who used to work in lbs

yeah so he so Mike Lindell hires lbs who

used to work for Fox

News I think they had similar opinions

about the accuracy of the last

election and Fox News pulled the

advertisements in other words Fox News

was no longer willing to take money from

Mike

Lindell that's pretty radical isn't it

that you're no no no longer willing to

take money from your one of your biggest

advertisers interesting but they got

plenty of ticktock money because Tik

tok's an advertised

now no problem what what could possibly

be the problem here yeah no

problem so that's probably exactly what

it looks like um Fox News would be a

competitor I guess with Mike Lindell so

they just wanted to cut connections

that's not actually too surprising you

know once once he becomes their

competitor you know can't can't expect

him to play

along all right uh

NBC has a news story today about uh what

science has discovered about a giant

10-ft ape that that lived 200,000 years

ago uh in China they found some bones I

guess but they figured out what

killed the 10-

foot huge Apes can you

guess do you want to take a guess

climate change that's right yeah

according to NBC news our science is now

so good that we can tell what a monkey

was thinking 200,000 years

ago they actually make that claim they

say that the uh climate made it

difficult for them to get their normal

food source and unlike the other Apes

okay it's an ape not a monkey but unlike

the other Apes who adjusted and you know

just found other food

sources uh these big old Apes uh they

were too dumb and they decided not to

diversify the food sources so they they

died so climate change killed the big

the big

Apes now

remember I told you that you can't

understand any of the news unless you

know the

players now allegedly I don't I don't

have confirmation of this myself but

people who seem to know more than I do

claim that NBC is a big old CIA

propaganda you know

operation is

it how would I know I wouldn't know but

I'll tell you what if they were that

would act exactly like

this what what do you think it does to

you when you hear that something that's

in a little bit like

you you know an upright walking probably

10 foot

ape don't you say to yourself huh if

climate change killed that Big Ape

aren't we in danger yes now obviously

there's not a direct connection between

the 200,000 year old apes and and humans

but your brain doesn't know that your

your brain will say uhoh it killed a Big

Ape just like me it must be ready to

kill me

too so this is the kind of story that

you would only expect from somebody

who's tried to brainwash

you right now how many of you think the

science actually knows why these Apes

died to 100,000 years ago do you think

you really know that do you think this

science can figure out what the Apes

were thinking and why they died 200,000

years ago the the absurdity that they

would want us to believe that that's

something they can do or they can

know it's pretty funny actually you're

saying to yourself Scott can you move

that microphone because it's putting an

annoying Shadow on your chin how many of

you were thinking that just now yeah you

were thinking that but now it's all

better you're

welcome all right well

uh are all of you uh as puzzled as I am

why the following story is not being

carried by all the major news

organizations is there something I

missed or do I have a a date wrong or

something here's what I think happened I

think I think that uh representative Tim

berett and a couple other of uh people

Congress had access to a skiff the top

secret most secretive place you could

ever go to look at materials that are so

secretive you can't even make a copy so

you have to go see the originals in a

special little secure building because

that's our top top top secret nothing is

more secret than stuff that's in a

skiff so of course the representatives

can't tell us what they saw because they

get to see it but it's top secret

so what did Tim Brett say after uh he

saw this stuff he said that uh it was

obvious to the people who were with him

and to him that uh David grush The

Whistleblower about the UFOs is

legit now David grush says that the US

has in his possession numerous downed

UFOs and Al what he calls biologics in

other words parts of the aliens

themselves and we got them in big

warehouses and that's well known it's

been going on for years and according to

Tim

bersett and the top secret information

which he can't be more specific about he

can tell us that everybody who was in

the skiff believes that the

Whistleblower is legit and that Earth is

being visited by some kind of advanced

intelligence either for manner space or

for the inner core or possibly the

ocean or possibly North Korea because we

don't know what's going on up

there oh what do you think about

that there was another representative

who uh I didn't get his name but he he

had a a great answer for why um Congress

can't get better answers from the

government about the UFOs or uaps as

they like to call them and what he said

was you can ask these guys

questions but everybody is only allowed

to answer in their little

domain so it's actually

possible this is hilarious to me as the

author of Dilbert it's possible that the

government is so incompetent that every

part of the government only knows one

thing and that the government

collectively doesn't know if the aliens

are real or if they have

them that's right I actually believe

that the government as an entity doesn't

know if it has in its possession

aliens now I know that sounds ridiculous

now that would now what I mean is that

if we had any aliens which I'm super

skeptical of I don't think we have any

aliens or any

spaceships and I'm going to I'm going to

say that forever like you I'd have to

touch it myself to believe there's an

alien spaceship no I don't think there

are any ens

but I think it's fascinating that the

information in the government is so

compartmentalized and of course every

government employee knows I can only

talk about the thing I know I'll get

fired if I talk about anything else it

may be that you can't ask enough

questions to find out what's going on

because there's nobody who could tell

you not only what they do but how it

connects to other people and without

that you wouldn't know what's going on

so and the I figure which politician was

was yesterday said if you don't know to

ask the exact question they're not going

to help you because they could only

going to answer the exact question so if

you said to them uh The Whistleblower

says you have I'll just make make this

up but the Whistleblower says you have

10 Alon UFOs is that

true no it's not

true what did you

learn you didn't learn whether or not

there's aliens because you didn't ask

the question right you should have asked

are there any do we have any ship so

that I'm just making up that example but

the point is it might be that the

government is so ineffective and

distributed and

bureaucratic that almost nobody in the

government can even answer the question

do we have any

aliens so presumably there would be a

very small number of people who knew the

real

answer if we had real aliens but I don't

think we have real aliens do you know

what I think

I think it's a CIA op and I think the op

is being played on these members of

Congress I think Tim Beret is being uh

played I I think that they they've

identified him as a gullible I hate to

say it because I kind of like him you

know when I when I see him on TV I see

him a lot I say to myself oh I'd like

that guy like he'd be somebody you'd

hang out with and have a beer like he

just looks like a real nice guy and he

looks like he's actually treding to do

the right thing you know he gives off

the vibe of an actual citizen who got

elected who wants to

help and I think that they're using

him I think that his sincerity is what

makes him uh a little bit vulnerable now

I'm just speculating I don't have any I

have no information you know to directly

say that but I'm pretty sure we don't

have any

aliens so if there was anything in a

skiff that suggested we all we abs

abolutely have some

aliens that had to be our intelligence

people distracting

us

right because while this was happening

and then now here's the other

thing I looked um I saw a video clip

about this this topic yesterday and I

said to myself oh i' better catch up on

this story must be a big story in the

Press because if Cong if members of

Congress are talking about it and they

had this experience and they had this

Revelation that these aliens are

real that's like the biggest story isn't

it did you see that story anywhere in

the Press did you see it written

anywhere I saw I did a Google Search and

there were a bunch of videos that

probably all appointed to the same

video why why would there be like a

YouTube video or

two but nobody wrote a

story members of our government just

confirmed that our government has alien

spaceships and

bodies now confirmed I don't mean it's

true because I'm sure it's not true but

they thought so there are members of our

government who saw secret information

from our

government and then told the public yeah

it's

true and it's not on

CNN there's no written article about it

what does that tell

you what do does that tell

[Music]

you I mean to me it tells me the Press

knows it's not

true what else could you conclude it

would be the biggest story not just of

the

week of the

year of the

decade of the

century of the entire history of

humanity it would be the biggest story

of all there wouldn't be no bigger

story right and a disappeared the

biggest story in the history of

humankind if it were true but CNN

decided that wasn't

newsworthy here's what I think I think

at the top of the

news uh pile they know it's not

true and so they don't want to be the

embarrassed ones who write about it so

that there're maybe everybody's hoping

somebody else will cover it it's like

well I hope you guys cover it cuz this

one doesn't seem too true to

us I just think about the fact that Tim

brette is a Republican and I'm pretty

sure that Fox News didn't cover the

story did they did Fox News cover it in

let's say written form they may have had

a video like others did it's weird that

it exists only in video because they're

making it disappear pretty well

anyway so it might be some kind of a

dilber situation cover up that's

accidental or intentional who

knows uh Trump lost a lawsuit I guess he

was pressing a lawsuit against the New

York Times over reporting about his

financials and he lost so he's going to

pay the legal fees

$400,000 so does that tell you that

Trump

lost because he has to pay

$400,000 depends what you call winning

if I were these reporters I would say to

myself I sure hated my last

year I I just spent a year defending

myself in court and buying lawyers and

borrowing money and and yeah that's

great that's great that I'll get

reimbursed but I just lost a year of my

life do you think Trump is happy with

the outcome $400,000 to send a warning

signal to anyone else who would use what

I'm guessing was maybe not the most

confirmed or information or maybe they

didn't put it in the quite the right

context that showed both sides I don't

know what the claim is exactly but don't

you think it sends a

chilling message to other reporters that

if you're going to write about Trump

maybe you better stick to the facts that

you're really sure about know what you

think I so I would call it a success for

$400,000 at his level of wealth to send

this uh warning shot across the bow of

reporters who might be looking at more

let's say speculative stories about him

yeah it's a brushback pitch I think he

got his money worth if that's if that's

the end of the uh the story it just cost

him $400,000 he got his money's worth

yeah so I guess on Monday uh

Iowa goes to vote for in the primary for

the Republicans and the big stories

about that are number one the weather so

apparently the snow is just insane so

the the ability of old people

especially to even get to the polling

places and or the caucus places I guess

uh would be very

limited now what does this tell you I'll

tell you I'll tell you the message I'm

getting from

this every time you think you're in a

system where the system is you know

working to uh Express the will of the

people so that the people can see for

example uh that their vote counted and

they picked the people that they want I

feel like there's always it's like

Charlie Brown's football there's always

something that that's like pulling the

football back just before you kick it

and I feel like the Idaho results are

going to be based on the

weather does it feel like that to

you ba basically Ju Just think about

this

V just absolutely blanketed that state

like nobody's ever done before not only

did he cover more of the precincts um he

covered every one which which is called

the full grassly he did a double grassly

and then it kept going he did a double

grassly he he visited every Precinct

that I know twice twice never been done

before just

absolutely uh just absolutely was just

all over

uh the

state and then it

snows it it could be it could be that

none of his work will make any

difference just because it snowed like

that's our system that's how we pick a

president by the snow basically so I

don't know if the snow suppresses

Democrats the same amount as it

suppresses Republicans but don't rep

Republic Republicans skew

older I think they do don't they

Republicans tend to be a little older

and if I saw a snowstorm I'd say fewer

older people are going to go outside on

the ice and in the

snow

so so good luck with that now V is

uh confidently predicting a surprise now

I don't know what a surprise looks like

first place or strong strong showing I

don't know what that would be but but he

might be right and this would be a good

test of the

polling um I think there's a good chance

that the people that V is attracting to

show up are exactly see see if you think

this is true the people he's

attracting are very much exactly the

people who don't show up in

polling am I right because the pollers

you know they got a problem because

they're they got landlines that they're

polling and then they do online polls by

young people don't bother to even read

them and you know a general poll of

people who don't care about politics is

completely different than the poll of

people might actually show up on a

primary or or a caucus right I mean

those are pretty dedicated

people so is it possible that V is

reading the room correctly because he

did have big crowds he had big crowds if

the size of the crowds was the

predictor and you didn't believe that

the could you know dig down deep enough

to find his supporters

specifically he might have a surprise he

he might actually he might actually pull

this off

yeah you know what's a fun uh party

game uh I was playing this yesterday

some of you heard me is to imagine the

the founders of our country America you

know the the famous ones your Ben

Franklin's and your George Washingtons

and Jeffersons and Hamilton and whatnot

and then map yourself into one of the

founders just ask yourself all right

which one would I be you which one's

closer and then fill out the other ones

all right so so you get one free pass to

be a Founder yourself uh I chose John

Adams so you know might as well pick my

cousin because I because I felt a little

like John Adams in this current

situation because we feel like we're in

a new American Revolution especially

with vake but also with Trump in that in

order for many of us to get the

president we

want um we have to know or understand is

there some big uni party power behind

politics that we don't see

directly like you need to know that

right but doesn't it feel as though both

V and Trump are a new American

Revolution against these hidden powers

that maybe we don't even know who they

are I don't know if that even exists I

don't even know if it exists I know

there are a lot of people pretty sure it

does but I don't hear names and you know

I don't I don't see

facts but it feels exactly like that

doesn't it and we'll talk about that a

little bit more but it does feel by

coincidence that we have something like

the founders have lined up the maps into

Thomas Jefferson really easily

because they're both bigger than big and

smarter than

smart and more patriotic than

Patriots like that's Thomas Jefferson

you know there were there were a lot of

smart people but Jefferson was smarter

than the Smart Ones that's faake he's

not just smart he's smarter than the

smart

people and Jefferson did the you know

Louisiana Purchase the American

Revolution and that's about the size of

the change the V is saying he'll do 75%

cut in the government you know get us

out of Wars basically huge changes so

that's that's very Jeffersonian and then

it does seem like uh maybe Trump feels a

lot like uh George

Washington doesn't it because Trump

seems like the one who's going into

battle he's actually fighting he's

literally fighting the lawfare the the

Cannons of the uh the system so George

wa so George Washington is he's

marshalling the Army you know the the

magga army or whatever it is against the

uh the Tories or whoever it is we're

fighting H then it seems very much like

Elon Musk is the the modern version of

Ben

Franklin now does he fit the the does he

fit the model of a

revolutionary well let's ask the Wall

Street Journal because the Wall Street

Journal just wrote the most

stupid article you'll ever see

that that decides that really whenever

you think of uh Elon Musk you should

think of Donald Trump because of the

same same

person you you goddamn

pieces of in the Wall Street

Journal what are you doing with this

article what what are you educating us

on what news is this this is pure

propaganda this is disgusting

you should really be ashamed of yourself

Wall Street Journal this is not this is

not up to your standard I usually have a

lot of respect for the Wall Street

Journal but this is not up to your

standard this to me looks like a pure

hip piece that they're trying to

disguise as some kind of opinion

journalism important story it's not

important it's not journalism it's not

news it's a hitpiece on one of

the most useful Americans in the history

of the

Republic why because Elon Musk runs a

platform that doesn't always hate Donald

Trump and that's that's why it exists or

at least that's why it got

published I can't read the mind of the

writer but I can tell

you it doesn't have news value so you do

the math

right amazing amazing and how do they

say he's the same because they both use

Twitter really well

that was one of the biggest evidences

that they're populists who use Twitter

really

well how exactly do you write a HIIT

piece about a

populist does doesn't that sound almost

like that's

backwards what the hell is a populist

except somebody that the people really

like once they get to know

him and they really agree with them once

they get to know that's what a populist

is

somebody who's popular because they're

doing the right things according to the

public so they they've got to make

populism look bad because Trump does it

Trump's the best populist ever I don't

know maybe of all time but Elon Musk is

definitely a populist as well in the

sense that he's trying to do things that

make sense and are popular I don't think

he does it because they're popular you

that's obvious but he does seem to be

very dedicated to what would be good and

make

sense such as population increase

instead of

decrease

um so got that going on um how many of

you saw the uh the AI created George

Carlin standup

comedy how many of you saw or listen to

that

clip anybody see

that so the story was that AI had

finally done what I said couldn't be

done which is right humor there was high

quality humor and in fact as good as the

real George Carlin so there was a video

that was going around and people were

impressed because this uh the writing

seemed to be almost humanlike

quality and uh I think I tweeted it

before I listened to

it I listened to one joke or something

and I thought the joke was so I thought

well you know it's word play so probably

AI did write it so I I spent the time to

listen to more of

it and about five minutes in it was

super obvious that AI did not make

that AI didn't make that how many you

thought the AI really made it that that

was your AI hoax of the weeks all right

so it was confirmed by the way that it

wasn't real yeah it it wasn't AI

but here's um I'm going to give you well

I guess I'm giving myself a pad on the

back it took

me just a few minutes of listening to it

to know it couldn't be AI because AI

can't do

that AI can't do that so I was pretty

sure the AI can't do that and sure

enough it didn't it didn't even came it

can't even come close so here's what it

did that was my tip

off uh part of the comedy was that

George Carlin uh was insulting God for

creating us and then creating all these

diseases to kill us now on one hand

that's said oh that's very George

carinish it's right right in his sweet

spot on the other hand there is no AI

that will ever insult

God AI is not going to insult God and

it's certainly not going to mock people

who have

diseases it's not going to do that

yes as soon as I heard the god part I

was like come on there's no way this is

AI but then then the story was okay it

was written it was written by a human

and we know the name of the human they

admit it I think at the end of the video

it actually says it actually somebody

said at the end of the video which I

didn't get to it reveals that it's not

real um but the claim is that the the

impersonation of George Carlin was

AI

even the impersonation didn't sound like

him there wasn't one thing that sounded

like George Carlin it didn't sound like

his voice the writing actually was

pretty close but it sounded like a it

sounded like a human imitating George

Carlin and I picked it out immediately

now uh the only reason I watched it let

me give a little credit here is that uh

Greg geld had watched it and he sent me

a message and said I probably shouldn't

tell you what private messages people s

but he wouldn't mind I don't think um

you said this doesn't look real does

it so Greg who writes jokes for a living

and understands your writing of course

you bestselling author uh it took him

two minutes to say this can't be real

and then I look I looked at it and was

like this can't be real right so anybody

who's a professional professional writer

and professional humorist especially you

see it right away yeah this did not fool

anybody who is in the

business all right there's uh no labels

it's a third- party group and they've

got this big pack and uh they're going

to be raising money to run some third

party person in 2024 who is not yet

selected now what have I told you about

how to understand news stories what I

always tell you is if the only thing you

know is the story you don't know

anything you have to know the players in

the story and how they're connected and

then you understand the story so if the

only thing I told you is there's this

thirdparty

group and they're raising money for a

third party what does that tell you not

really anything actually nothing

because uh you don't know who they're

going to run you don't know who they are

you don't know if it's legitimate don't

really know anything but now I'm going

to tell you the people

involved and watch watch all the gears

go click click click click click and

form a an entire picture for you right I

want I don't even need to connect the

dots I will but I don't need to listen

to

this uh let's see the person in charge

the group will be led by Kathleen

Shanahan who previously served as Chief

of Staff to former Florida Governor Jeb

Bush Republican

and worked as an aid to former

President George Bush and former Vice

President Dick

J any

questions are are there any further

questions

yeah um this is your

confirmation that we don't live in a

republic yeah this is your unip party

confirmation the Republicans are trying

to take Trump

out as much as the Democrats there's

only one way that that makes sense that

we don't have a real

government there is no other

explanation for

this now if they tell you oh it's

because we really think this third party

is viable you know that's not true

right you know they're not trying trying

to actually elect anybody nobody thinks

a third party can get elected the only

reason for a third party is if you're

True

Believers do you think that uh this

ex-chief of staff for these three major

Republican establishment people do you

think she's she's working out of a true

belief about helping the

Republic I don't think so I doubt it it

just looks like she's working for the

establishment

Republicans so why would the

establishment Republicans want to run a

third

party do you think they're doing it to

help Trump do you think that the chief

of staff previously of George of both

Jeb and George and Dick Shady do you

think that person has decided to help

Trump no

no

no so remember A's uh warning that the

real

play is to uh bump Trump out one way or

another whatever it takes uh put Haley

in because she's the unip Party

candidate that will spend our money on

Wars now that sounds pretty conspirator

crazy doesn't it honestly it sounds a

little

crazy

except every piece of evidence that we

can

confirm seems to be very compatible with

that point of

view now I'm open to the argument that

there's something in our reality that

would tell me that's unlikely where the

VES prediction that the election will be

rigged by uh not just the vote

necessarily but rigged by who's allowed

to run in the end you the the final

two it does look like that it looks

exactly like that

right so I'm not saying that I'm totally

endorsing

the uh the prediction that'll

happen but the has a hypothesis which

fits the

facts if he's right about

this

well he probably is

um all right yeah that's pretty much

confirmed that we are not what whatever

you thought about living in a republic I

think you could throw that away I

don't know what's going on exactly but

this is pretty much proof we're not

living in any kind of election you know

Republic Democrat

process something else is

happening all

right now what else um Biden

Administration is looking to reclassify

marijuana as a level three drug because

it's not as dangerous as the level ones

according to initial

research um now this is why I've been

promoting that we should have more trans

people in

government I mean I say it all the time

you know what we need in government is a

lot more trans people and here's why

here's a perfect example uh Rachel

LaVine uh Health and Human Services

assistant secretary for health uh she

wrote a letter to The Drug Enforcement

Administration in which she's basically

uh advocating for making marijuana

schedule three so that is good work

Rachel LaVine and all of you

haters with your anti-r stuff well the

jok's on you because Rachel lavine's

doing some good work here according to

me you don't have to agree with that by

the way no uh can we can we do some NPC

stuff I like to do the show for NPCs as

well as the rest of you who are actually

real people because I have NPCs who

watch as well and I like to service

everybody all right now uh if you're an

NPC the way to look at the question of

marijuana either legalization or change

in the scheduling is this uh assume that

everybody who smokes marijuana is

injured or or nobody whoever smoked at

marijuana had a bad experience and also

you must believe that marijuana is

either completely good for you all the

time or completely bad for everybody all

the time and then make your argument

based on that now the people who are um

real people not NPCs you are still

allowed to look at the pluses and the

minuses of all issues so you could say

for example huh it appears as Scott is

getting more benefit than cost and of it

because he uses it medically and reports

many many benefits and his life appears

is no worse for it but you could also

say equally true I know this teenager

who is ruining their life because the

marijuana is sucking all the joy out of

them and turning them into porn

addicts also true also true yeah and

it's a tough question in a free Society

whether I get the freedom to use it in a

way that as far as I can tell is all

entirely productive and makes me happy

and I couldn't be

happier at the same time I do know it's

going to kill that teenager I do know

that right and I don't want that so what

do you do well that's why we have

governments but uh Rachel LaVine good

job on that um let's talk about the

dumbest story in the news California

reparations believe it or not this is

still a

story uh you remember the background

that Governor Nome uh authorized a

commission to go

study the question of reparations for

descendants of slaves and when the

recommendation came back to give $1.2

million to every uh person who is

eligible for reparations Governor Nome

said I'm not going to endorse

that I don't hate it I don't hate it I

don't criticize it but I'm not accepting

it and uh what he said was not that it

was wrong or bad instead he said you

know it's more it's about more than

money reparations is about more than

money it's about you know fixing

systemic racism in a variety of ways

yeah but the issue is still there and I

would like to point out the following as

long as this issue still exists in other

words it's still an active question in

California he can he can never be

elected

president a republican would bury him on

this even though he didn't accept it

they he would be forced to say I do not

accept reparations even after I formed

that commission or he's going to say

it's still on the table and I haven't

decided either one of those he can't win

he cannot win because there are a lot of

white people in a lot of States who say

what if he gets away with that in

California and he does it my state is

going to be talking about that

tomorrow and I'm going to pay because

hair gel

Hitler you know did this clever thing in

California that is the most

disqualifying issue of all issues I've

ever

seen I mean he literally would be

running for

president uh on a platform that he won't

guarantee taking money from white people

to give it to people of other

races not just

taxes but just take their money because

they're white

because they're

white and give it to black

people because they're black how do you

get elected with that it's impossible

yeah no there isn't any way he can be

elected at to national office so all

those of you who said and by the way I

used to think this too that he would

have a serious shot at getting elected

no he can't as long as reparations out

there he cannot get elected there

there's no way he's going to get enough

white votes to make that happen

uh Rumble is under attack big surprise

because you know rumble's a source of

free speech and uh so you you you had to

know that the government would come

after them sure enough there's this

short seller uh this is a claim from the

president of Rumble that a short seller

put together a report of sent

it to the secc and the SEC said we're

looking into it because somebody had

reported there's some then the

same person who reported it goes to the

press and says hey don't look at me but

the SEC is is says this is serious now

what a short seller is is somebody who

makes money if they can identify a

company whose stock is going to drop

like a rock so one of the dirty tricks

they do is create the news that makes

the stock drop so that they can make

that you know quick

cash uh

okay

and

so uh so rumble's story is that it's

completely illegitimate will be easily

dismissed you know the the claims

against them are something about the

claims have something to do with whether

they properly accounted for something

Financial the response again not in a

legal context but just from the

president is that they always

anticipated this kind of attack and so

they had a bulletproof accounting

exactly for this reason and all they

have to do is show it and that's it'll

go away but in the

meantime yeah it's like swatting that's

that's exactly right in the comments on

locals somebody said it's like swatting

a stock that's exactly right it's like

swatting a

company so is there anything to the

claim well we don't

know but we do know that the person

making the claim according to the

president of Rumble is a financial

motivated person who would benefit

whether it was true or

not right so the claim from Rumble is

that the source of the accusation is

somebody who would make a lot of money

even if it's not true so that so you

should judge its credibility at exactly

zero does that make sense for a

riskmanagement kind of understanding the

world um basis it doesn't mean it's not

true doesn't mean mean it's not true but

you should judge its

credibility actually zero because there

somebody has a a financial motivation a

gigantic one and they're in the business

of doing this very kind of thing so no

this is not this is not a believable

accusation but like I say sometimes

accusations are true even if they don't

seem credible when they're made so you

can't rule anything out but I wouldn't

give it any credibility at this at this

stage

and um oh I guess I I full

disclosure uh I'm sorry I should have

disclosed this uh I am a stockholder in

Rumble so I owned an initial investment

very small one in locals which got

acquired by Rumble which allowed my

stock to roll over into Rumble so I'm a

stockholder at a much higher price and

the last I saw it was in the 3es I think

it went public around

12 and now the short seller drove it

down down to about

three so the short selling works I mean

it's a dirty trick but it works so I'm

holding my

stock considering doubling it but that

is not Financial advice that would be

pure gambling let me say that again I'm

considering doubling my holding but it

would be a super risky play I do not

recommend you do that that it's pure

risk just pure gambling right but the

play would be this and again don't

follow my advice do not follow my

financial advice on this or anything

else unless I tell you to diversify your

portfolio if I tell you to diversify

listen to that right if I tell you to

buy or sell a specific stock do not

listen to that or anybody else right but

I'll tell you the thinking uh investing

investing makes most sense when you

think you have special Insight that the

market doesn't have you're usually wrong

which is why you shouldn't do this but

here's my special

Insight it is more likely true that

Rumble is being unfairly attacked than

it is likely to be true that the

accusations are

true now I don't know what the odds are

but it's not

5050 it is definitely you know weighted

heavily toward it not being true now if

it turns out that the SEC goes through

it and it's not true you'd expect maybe

a at least a 25% bump in the

stock so that would be reason that a

rich person only a rich person don't do

this if you're

struggling might gamble you know just

because it's kind of a fun gamble but I

do gamble that the news is wrong when I

invest that's a common method I've used

don't don't use that method it but it's

just one that I use to some effect I

wouldn't say it works all the

time well Delta Airline is racist uh

Robbie Starbuck reports on

xplatform um he showed a photo of a

Delta Airlines training that says they

instruct their employees to capitalize

the words black and brown when talking

about people uh but to lowercase

white that are you okay with

that to capitalize black and brown but

not white even when used in the same

context about talking about

people no that's completely racist and

Delta you are

despicable yeah if this is true I mean I

saw a photograph of it but you know

anything could be faked if it's true

this is pure racism and by the way

that's the definition of racism treating

people differently in a in a official

sense right individuals are different

but a company doing it would be racism

yeah individuals can do whatever they

want there's no law against

that all right uh you all know probably

the story if you're following the news a

lot of an American Independent reporter

named gonzala lra who is reporting very

inconvenient things from Ukraine and he

was reporting things that the leadership

Ukraine would not want to see he was put

in jail and reportedly he has died in

prison and some say he died from poor

Medical Care some people say he was

murdered uh David saaks points out and I

agree what's the

difference they put him there to take

care of him you know if he died because

they gave him bad service or he died

because they strangled him they killed

him right so the Ukrainian government

killed an American but at least uh

America tried really hard to get him out

uh because he was unfairly accused right

nope nope it looks like America let him

die because he was also saying things

inconvenient to

America he was for example and I don't

know the truth of any of these

accusations I'll just say he's making he

made these

accusations that the war in Ukraine was

largely uh Victoria nuland American

Victoria nuland uh being a bully and

having you know bad

motivation I have no independent you

know knowledge of what she did or didn't

do but that was his accusation and a lot

of people said this by the way the

Tucker Carlson um often says Victoria

nuland is you know the the center

of the uh the war machine that likes to

profit from war the neocons the neocons

as they say now I don't know about any

of that but that's his accusation and a

lot of other people's accusations

but he went on I saw a video of

gonzala before he died because the

videos of him after he died

or less interesting really but before he

died he was uh he had the following

theory that I for some reason I didn't

know now I don't know if it's

true but I certainly should have heard

about it and here's

um yeah here here's what he said about

Ukraine he said there's this uh

billionaire who um funded and he was

sort of behind the production company

that created a TV

show about a Ukrainian guy who became

president and he hired

zalinski and zalinski was the star of

the show uh what was the name of the

show something of the people servant of

the people was that the name of the the

TV

show give me give me a confirmation on

that so servant of the people all right

so the TV show was called servant of the

people and zalinsky was a star

and um part of what uh Gonzalo lero

reports is that for reasons that are

mysterious it was a gigantic hit now

what makes that mysterious is it wasn't

really that good a

show but it had massive like

advertising some some kind of massive

support so it looked like it was sort of

artificially pushed to the top of the

market by powerful forces now here's the

interesting

part then the same billionaire who

funded the TV show allegedly again none

of this is from me this is from

allegations uh allegedly created a

political

party and he called it the same name as

the TV

show servant of the people and then they

needed a

candidate so he picked zinsky who had no

political experience but he had made him

super popular as an actor pretending to

be a

president and then you know nobody

believes that elections in Ukraine are

true so then zilinsky becomes

president did the US help probably what

was that their intention were they

working with this billionaire well I

don't know if they were colluding with

him but they might have been they might

have had compatible interests at one

point it's

unclear um but it gets better if you if

you think that's the good part of the

story you haven't heard the good star

now again these are only accusations the

same billionaire um owned either a lot

of or most of another company you might

have heard of it's called Uh

bisma that's right the same billionaire

who owned barisma that was paying Hunter

Biden and 10% of that theoretically was

going to the

boss was putting

zalinski as a puppet in charge of the

Ukrainian government and maybe the

entire operation was a coordinated

effort to use Ukraine as a piggy bank

destroy the country suck its resources

out La money and also maybe give Putin a

hard time which would be just a bonus

now is any of that

true I don't

know all I know for sure is that the guy

saying it just got killed by Ukraine and

America didn't complain so the

suggestion

is everything seems to be compatible

with it being true what would be

incompatible with this being true is

there any counterfactual to it I mean

it's hard to prove a negative of course

so it doesn't mean it's

doesn't mean it's true just because you

don't have an argument against it

but it's feeling really

true right yeah I'm it's I'm very biased

by the fact that everything that we've

imagined as a conspiracy theory ends up

being pretty close to

true

so probably I'll tell you what I believe

to be true you know based on not just

this story but the the totality of

information it does seem to me that

Ukraine was always a piggy bank for the

billionaires and the political class it

does seem that American politicians have

been wetting their beaks in Ukraine

possibly for decades

and uh it's exactly what it looks like

and that the war was optional and that

um killing people to make money is the

business of America and killing our own

citizens to make money is a critical

part of that that that's what it looks

like it looks like the bidens are uh

deeply involved in that part of the

world so I don't know what true but

that's what it looks like and it looks

like that American government and the

Ukrainian government conspired to kill

an

American so let me let me say that

directly I don't know that it's true but

the evidence strongly suggests that the

Biden Administration killed an American

to keep him quiet now killed him by not

ref freeing him which could have been

easily done

because obviously American can get

zalinsky to free anybody we want would

you agree if the president said to

zilinski all right here's the deal I

don't care what he's charged with he's

an American let him

go zinsky would have put the key in the

door five minutes

later zilinski isn't going to ruin

Ukraine over one reporter in

jail nobody would make that tradeoff

right so you can know for sure that

America wasn't interested in his life or

wanted him to die in jail so I would say

it's a case of

murder the the evidence suggests that

the Biden Administration and Joe Biden

specifically because he would be the

boss the the evidence suggests that

Biden was part of a plot to murder an

American

citizens yeah now maybe Murder By

statistics now what I say by Murder By

statistics is you put him in a situation

where he's probably going to die

a Ukrainian prison probably going to die

now you could say well that's not

technically murder because you didn't

cause that you just put him in a

situation where he's probably going to

die no I call that murder that's called

Murder yeah we got Britany grinds out

wait we got Britany grinder out of

Russia you don't think we could get an

American out of

Ukraine all right yeah so I would say

that the official stories are

ridiculous the accusations are wild but

they fit the

facts that we

know all right so um let me ask you

this uh do you see a lot of uh news

today about the war in Ukraine

anybody did did you see the the news is

just covered with no no there's a big

old war over there and suddenly the news

isn't interested huh

weird isn't it it's like they're all

coordinated or something suddenly it

just got uninteresting didn't it yeah

how about uh all the coverage on Gaza

today Gaza it's just wall to wall what

nothing oh nothing about Gaza the other

War we're in yeah how about the war in

Yemen we we know that we attacked Yemen

and I guess it happened again you know

two days in a row but massive coverage

with lots of details s

right

nope nope why would there be so little

media

coverage of the United States being in

three different

Wars well it might have something to do

with some comments that Donald Trump

recently made on true social that got

promulgated on

acts he and uh Trump said that Joe Biden

got us into three different Wars

Ukraine you know Gaza situation

Yemen uh and that he's the worst

president in the history of the United

States so Trump is pushing the idea that

uh that Joe Biden is a war

starter and the news just went silent on

three

Wars right in front of you they right in

front of you right it it's not like I'm

coming up with some conspiracy theory

you know there are three

Wars and you can look at the news and

you can see that they're clearly

intentionally underplaying them because

it would not work to their

narrative now I like uh Trump's

persuasion when he says that Biden is

the worst president in the history of

the United

States what's he doing there what

persuasion trick is that that I've

taught you many times yeah he's making

you think pass the sale that he's a

terrible president if you're thinking

whether he's the worst you've already

accepted that he's in the you know the

bottom 10% or something and that would

be enough right now in my

opinion he actually is the worst

president in the history of the United

States I do think he surpassed Jimmy

Carter would you agree because Jimmy

Carter kind of classically was

considered the worst president but I

think Biden has now surpassed him now to

be be

fair Biden has some

successes he has some successes but

probably Jimmy Carter did

too so it's not about the fact he had

some successes it's also about what you

got wrong and starting three Wars plus

one on our Southern border which you're

ignoring the the only one that affects

the

Homeland the only one that affects the

Homeland he's

ignoring that is worst president in the

history of the United States if the only

thing I told you was he got us involved

in three Foreign Wars and didn't protect

us from the active Invasion on their

southern border would you need to know

anything about his economic policy to

decide who is the worst president no you

not would you need to know his views on

lgbtq to know he's the worst president

in the history of the United States no

you would not you wouldn't need to know

that it wouldn't be relevant to the

overall all obvious characterization of

his presidency which is basically

starting Wars that probably didn't need

to be started uh getting us involved

using up our weapons shipping using up

all our oil and our strategic reserves

giving away all our artillery

shells it just goes on and on the worst

president in the history of the Republic

I I think that's just obvious now you

know no matter what you think of trump

or anybody else I think he's pretty

clearly the worst and the fact that he's

not even really conscious and able to

even show up at events I mean how did we

allow that to be

normalized you know I I always give this

quote from my mother she always used to

say you can get used to anything if you

do it long enough and that explains so

much of the world like why things are

doing the thing doing what they are

did I declare a race

war there's a article did Scott Adams

declare a race war um typical uh

election year kind of social media

activity anyway

um that's where we're at um yesterday as

a public service and uh I know that

sounds like a joke but actually was uh

as a public service I spent uh hours

putting together a debunk of the F of

the drinking bleach hoax the reason I

did it is because it just hadn't been

done and nobody in the news had ever

done it and it was one of the biggest

stories of all time and nobody had ever

covered it let me say that again one of

the biggest stories of the Trump

presidency that he said hey you should

drink bleach which of course never

happened it was a hoax and the major

media

has never covered the story just think

about that is that all you need to know

about the uni

party do you ever remember uh Fox News

doing the investigative report uh

showing exactly what happened and how

the hoax was created nope nobody else

ever did it either so I did it so you

can see it on locals but um I I link to

it on X so look at my feed of the

uh the drinking bleach hoax now I'll

give you I'll tell you what's there so

you'll see the entire transcript but I

highlighted so that you don't have to go

through the whole thing the parts where

he mentioned

light so when you see the whole thing

it's so super clear what

happened and of course people are still

denying it even after they read

it but here's what you need to know when

he when he teased his guest and said you

know I've got the this guest he said

there's like a really exciting exciting

news and then the guest came out and

said we tried various things to kill the

virus on external surfaces we tried some

bleach we tried some isopropyl but let

me tell you compared to those things

what really worked is light so light was

really the topic light was mentioned 21

Times by either Trump or somebody else

as the main topic of the event were you

aware of that

how many of you knew that the main theme

was about light as a disinfectant did

the news tell you

that no no and and what did the experts

say about bleach and isopropyl and

liquid

disinfectants the only thing they said

about them is that that they don't work

anywhere near as good as light now do

you remember the part where Trump talked

to Dr Burks at the same event in public

and he said will the light work on

porous

surfaces meaning

skin and the doctor said well probably

works better on non-porous servfaces but

yes you know you would expect it would

work a little bit but maybe not as good

so now we have clarification that when

PR when Trump said something really

exciting is going to be revealed he did

not mean bleach and he did not mean

isopropyl because you know what every

person already knew that those things

kill viruses am I right everybody

already knew the whole country every

citizen every person knew that

disinfectants killed viruses on surfaces

the only thing new that was presented

was that light was a

superstar the whole point of the thing

light is a

superstar did you know

that the news didn't tell you that it

was all about about light as a superstar

so the news didn't tell you that there

was a trial of light and that the Wall

Street Journal talked about it after

that event that there was a company IU

bioscience that said yes that's us we're

putting light in a catheter putting it

down the throat I.E injecting it into a

body to see if it works turns out it

didn't work as well as they wanted but

it was being trialed at the time and

Trump knew about it how do I know that

Trump knew about it because I was

tweeting it two days before the event

and other people were retweeting it and

we know that his staff and he looked at

that news and we also know that he's

drawn to things that are good news he

he's especially drawn to hearing this

there might be a solution there might be

some good news so did his staff tell him

about something that would be exciting

and might be good news

probably probably they told them because

it's exactly what he wants to hear tell

me some good news about something that

might be working so I can tell that

story and so that's why he was excited

now you want some more confirmation that

he was only talking about light because

people still say he wasn't here it

is when the experts said we tried the

the bleach and the isopropyl it did Kill

the virus but it would take you know a

while several minutes but when we tried

light boom two minutes gone so light was

the two-minute one the other ones take

much longer so when Trump was talking

about disinfectant he said and look and

it could kill it in one minute and he

repeated one minute more than once there

was only one topic of one disinfectant

that could work in the know the experts

said two minutes and Trump did his usual

trumpian thing of making one minute but

there was only one thing that was ever

discussed that could be that quick it

was always

light and and if you look at all the

references Trump made to light he never

once talked about anything that was

wasn't light not once but he did however

use the word disinfectant in the middle

of a discussion about light so people

put that one word out now how did the

hoax get created when he very clearly

was talking about only light Jim aosta

asks a question of one of the experts he

says well you wouldn't put these you

know bleach and isopropyl and

disinfectants into your body would you

or I'm paraphrasing something like that

and the expert said no no no you

wouldn't do

that so Jim aosta started the hoax by

pretending he didn't understand that it

was always about light that's how the

hoax was created so once he pretended

that he he thought he heard that it was

about these other

things then the rest of the news just

picked it up and it became became the

hoax yeah so that's how it happened now

what you should learn from it is how

hoaxes are creative you know we can't go

back in time it doesn't really matter at

this point but if you learn that they

can so easily create a hoax and here are

the mechanics the first mechanic is you

take something and a

context so they had to cut off his many

references to light and they had to

completely remove his conversation with

Burks same event on the stage in public

they to remove the whole bur's

conversation because that would be so

obvious that he was talking about skin

the whole time

I mean really obvious so they had to

just get rid of it so they get rid of it

and then if you want to see the

transcript they'll show you just the

parts that are edited and you think you

actually saw the transcript but you

didn't or they'll show you the entire

transcript which is 35 pages and you

it's just too much work to pick out what

happened so I did that for you so I took

the whole transcript but you don't need

to read it because I've highlighted just

the half dozen places that matter

so you could just read

those so for the first time in the

history of America somebody explained

how the fine how the drinking bleach

hoax started in great detail you can see

it yourself there's no question about

it but what you should learn is that

they can do a selective edit that's how

the fine people hoax started it's how

the Covington kids thing was pushed it's

how the overfeeding the koish hoax was

pushed yeah it's called a rupar because

it's a selective edit but then the

second part of it is that somebody takes

it out of context and then all the rest

of the media pretends that was a

reasonable interpretation so it's the

repetition over and over that turns it

into the hoax it's not just the

misinterpretation it's the

repetition yeah a wrap-up smear I don't

know if that's a wrap-up smear but it's

in the same category

all right

um so yeah we don't know about Yemen

it's all fog of War stuff so I don't

have much to say about

that um don't you

think do you think we're being

suckers because it seemed pretty obvious

that Yemen was begging us to attack if

you attack somebody who very clearly

wants you to attack like Hamas and Gaza

are you really

winning makes you wonder makes you

wonder what winning looks like if you're

killing people who wanted you to attack

them and kill them at least a little bit

I don't know so I don't know if we're

winning or not but let me ask you a

question that nobody's

asked since we know for sure that these

are all Iranian proxies so Hamas is

Iranian proxy Hezbollah is the hoodies

hoodies in the blow ship the and the the

attacks in Syria and Iraq and American

forces all r

do the Iranians not have any

ships what am I

missing not one Iranian ship have we

blown out of the

water yeah can you tell me that this

would be hard to solve if uh V or Trump

were president let me let me solve it

for you hey

Iran you use the Red Sea

too if I see one more missile

come from your proxies in Yemen we're

going to take out your biggest

tanker and if it happens again we're

going to take out your second biggest

tanker oh but we will retaliate we will

retaliate so hard

yep did you hear the part about if you

take out our Iranian tanker but we'll

retaliate really

hard

yep and then you're

done it was that

hard no instead we've got bedridden

Lloyd Austin

like attack I feel so

confident well at least we don't have

the dementia patient making the military

uh decisions instead we have the guy uh

in the hospital

bed so fear us fear us our hospitalized

guy and our dementia guy are coming for

you uh don't worry about our lack of

artillery at least we don't need any

artillery in this

case or do we maybe we

will

um all right so the Biden campaign uh

has told CNN to tell the rest of you

that uh what they expect is that the

undecided voters have not been paying

attention and that as soon as they

realize that the race will actually be

Biden versus Trump Trump then all those

undecided people are going to go what

what and they'll they'll line up for

Biden and then Biden will win do you see

the

play so there's a narrative

forming for why everything's going to

change at the last

minute that's literally happening right

in front of you what would you do if you

were going to rig elections and you knew

it you would start about now

to tell a story about how all the people

who haven't quite shown up in the

polling are going to show up and there's

a good reason why it'll be toward the

end well that's

convenient but they're not

wrong I don't think they're

wrong do you know how many people in the

general public have heard of just heard

of f

ramaswami have you tried asking your

Normie friends what they think about V

what do they

say every person I've asked who isn't

like a real political person every

person who's just a

normie they say the same thing who you

know aake

ramaswami running for president

Republican he's all over social media

and they say yeah it doesn't ring a

bell what do you think causes that well

some of it is the media coverage but a

lot of it is that the uh the undecided

really are not paying attention the

undecideds no they can just kind of wait

till the end and make a decision the

week of election day if they want to

there there's no rule against that so

you do have to remember how uninvolved

the public is and I agree that if the

anti-trump people realize that he's the

guy they might form up on the other side

that's possible it's a little bit more

possible that Joe Biden's obvious

decline will be so bad in less than a

year that he will literally be a

vegetable and he's still going to win

probably all right

um a Biden spokesperson Michael Tyler

who's the uh let's see he a Biden

communications director Michael Tyler he

said this and I want to see if this

sounds like the iest thing any American

has ever said in any context that's a

big claim right the scariest thing that

any American has ever said in any

context I'm going to see if I can meet

that do you think I can meet that the

scariest thing any human has said in any

context here it is direct

quote uh talking about Biden he says

quote the president looks looks forward

to spending the next 10 months reminding

the American people how dangerous Donald

Trump and his Mega agenda are for

Americans pocketbooks their freedoms and

their

democracy you know I don't mind when our

presidential candidates lie you know

kind of expect it I don't mind some

exaggeration some

hyperbole kind of expected I don't even

mind when they try to scare you

because usually they're scaring you

about something real I didn't mind when

Trump said uh you should be scared about

the

Border I didn't think I should be that

scared but I thought that was just good

politicking because the Border was a

real problem

obviously and it did bring in real real

crime Etc along with good people

but um that was fair because it was a

dangerous situation maybe he exaggerated

it some would say maybe not if You' look

at current events but fear does make

sense when you're a leader and there's

something you need to be afraid of so

you can act on it I get that but you

know what you don't need to be afraid of

the mega

agenda the mega agenda is literally

about keeping you safer that's almost

the entire thing how can I keep you

safer how can we avoid you know being a

dictatorship how can we you know keep

America as some kind of Republic if it

ever

was so the fact that the way um Biden is

forming this is in

Revolutionary Civil War terms is

actually the scariest thing I've ever

heard an American

say that is the scariest thing I've ever

heard and it's scary because it's not

true if it were true it it might also be

scary but it would at least be in the

service of you know some some benefit

and I'd be like okay but to actually say

this when it's very obviously not true

uh that democracy is at

stake that's that's some dangerous

dangerous stuff to put into the American

World all right let me tell you my

current thinking very biased by all the

stuff I see um my current thinking is

it's very unlikely that America has been

a real Republic probably for a long time

if ever if ever to me it seems sort of

obvious that the pretend stuff we do

voting for things is not how anything

happens now I don't know who's in charge

or if it changes or you know if it's

some billionaires fighting it out and

then we just find out who wins later I

don't know exactly what's happening but

I do know there's very little evidence

that we live in a genuine Republic where

the where the citizens become informed

and then choose their leader I don't

think that's happened maybe for a long

time and when you look at the lack of

interest from both parties in fixing our

election system now there are members

who who do ask for it a lot but as a

group neither the Republican Party nor

the Democrats seem to show any real

interest in fixing it because each of

them controls States and one has to

assume that they like controlling the

their state and winning in their state

every time because they control the

election so they don't want to give it

up and maybe it would you

know so I think under that situation the

working assumption is that we don't live

in a republic we live in a a kleptocracy

in which there's some group of

billionaires who have figured out how to

game the system to make more billions of

dollars that's what it seems like so I I

would say that um

I don't feel like I've ever been part

of uh a

republic that's my current opinion now

again I can't say that that's

truth I I like to use the phrase a

working

assumption because it it fits the facts

better if if the facts were more

compatible with us being a real you know

democratically driven Republic then I

would favor that you know I would take

that as my view but the facts really

strongly argue against it you know the

entire situation with Trump I don't

think it could be much more clear than

that yeah all right

so that ladies and gentlemen is my

amazing show for today thanks for

joining on YouTube and Rumble and X

you're all wonderful hope you enjoyed

yourself and I will see you same time

tomorrow
