10. That's all you would need to know really. You wouldn't even need to know if it happened. You would only need to know this is a thing. If this is a thing that the adjudicators are getting tons of votes and nobody watches what they changed them to, if that's real the election is just garbage. But is it real? Is there anything about this story that you find unsettling? So turn on your skeptic mo…

telligence professionals also said the Hunter Biden story was Russian information. I guess I was informed that they didn't use the word disinformation but they're saying it's Russian information, sort of assuming that they're playing fast and loose with what information means.

Do you believe that the same intelligence agencies who 50 of them believe that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian information, do you believe that the same class of people can tell you who hacked the software? I don't think that's a thing. Now if there is a hacker out there who actually has experience like a real super experienced hacker who wants to disagree with me I will listen to that. But I'm not going to listen to ordinary people who don't know more than I do, which is not a lot about hacking, tell me that we can always tell where a hack comes from. Because I don't think we can. I don't think that's a thing.

I think that often you can tell. I wouldn't rule out the fact that it's you know there are times when you can tell. That seems reasonable. But are you telling me that Russia, Russia or China, you tell me they don't have the ability to hide the source of the hack? I'm not a hacker but I don't believe that things can't be hidden. Prove me wrong.

There's a story out of Great Britain where unconscious bias training is being scrapped for civil servants. So I guess in England — or just England I guess — you had to take unconscious bias training to find out how much bias you had that you didn't even know about. And apparently after doing it for a while they decided there is no evidence that this makes a difference and there's a little bit of evidence that it makes things worse. So that's in England. I don't know that — I don't think that's gonna happen here. I think over here we'll be doing more of this not less of it. But England decided to go without.

Scott why aren't you talking about Russell Ramsland Jr.? Remind me who Russell Ramsland was. I did read him. I think that's another Russell Ramsland. Who is he? Ramsa? Because I know that's a real story. That's and I remember seeing it and ignoring it. Oh that's a state official. Oh he slams a report on the votes. So is he the one who did the — yeah I just talked about that. Why are you asking me to talk about that? I just got done with that.

Oh Patrick Byrne. So Patrick Byrne who had been the CEO of Overstock — he's no longer I think — but he has a story that the FBI asked him to work on a sting for a bribery of Hillary Clinton. The credibility you should put on that story is zero. Zero unfortunately. Patrick Byrne has a credibility problem. Yeah zero. Now again people can be non-credible but they can be right sometimes. So I'm not saying it didn't happen. I'm just saying that if that's your only source, zero zero.

All right. Talk about Barr. You know I haven't talked a lot about Barr but I'll give you my layperson's opinion. I think he was great honestly. I was looking at the comments from Democrats who were saying that he lied to the country about the Mueller report to which I say did he? Did he lie about the Mueller report? Because I don't think so. I think he handled the Mueller report just right.

Now did he — should he have told us more about Hunter Biden's laptop before the election? Not if he's doing his job. I feel like he should not have tol

d us that even though I wanted to know, even though it would have changed the result. I feel like there are some lines that you just don't cross and that feels like one that should not have been crossed. And I would respect him for not crossing it. I respect him for being good with working for the president. And if there are people not being prosecuted for I don't know the Mueller report origins o…
