View segment →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
