it with your own eyes. Fake videos, fake data, fake graphs, fake politicians. You can't tell. And you can't tell by listening to it because you might not hear it right and other people are interpreting it differently and you might not know the context. So don't believe your eyes and your ears. They're lying to you all day long. So those are the eight things you should not believe in 2021: scienti…

nfluential people. So in the specific sense, yes, but not in some big generic sense. So that's the world we live in.

How about that? Apparently according to Rasmussen is reporting today that Biden's approval is in a free fall since May 31st, which is not that long ago. Thank you, Kevin, I appreciate that. Apparently independents have turned on Biden. So of course Democrats still love him. Republicans have always disliked him. But independents were sort of split and they just turned. They just turned this week.

Yeah, Michael says, remember when Twitter and Facebook would ban you for telling the truth? Well, you know, to be fair, nobody knew what the truth was. To be fair, Twitter and Facebook were also believing scientists. And again I'm going to say that if you believed scientists up until the year, you know, 2020, 21, that was pretty reasonable. Pretty reasonable. But if you believe them from now on, you're just an idiot and you have no credibility whatsoever. Which doesn't mean they're wrong. Obviously many times they'll be right. It's just that you can't tell the difference. Don't pretend you can. And they don't have credibility anymore. Credibility being different than being right or wrong, right? Credible means that if they say something you're predisposed to thinking, well, it's probably true. It's coming from a credible source. But they are no longer a credible source and we need to recognize that.

So I'm wondering what topic was it that made Biden's approval go into free fall with the independents. Do you know what would be your take on this? What is it that caused Biden's approval to suddenly drop in the last week? What do you think it is? Somebody says inflation, masks, gas prices, maybe something about China, Russia, borders. I don't know. The debt, tax rates. I don't know. If I had to guess, I think maybe tax rates. People are starting to worry about cyber security maybe. Is it just everything? Maybe it's just everything. So I don't know too much about that.

Here's a fun topic. M

ost of you are aware that Logan Paul just had a fight with, what's his name? Remind me the name of the fighter he just fought. One of the best. Why am I blanking on who Logan Paul just boxed? What's the name? What's the name of the boxer? Yeah, Floyd Mayweather. Only one of the greatest boxers of all time whose name I could remember. So if you're not into boxing, let me just tell you the basics. L…
