Musk should take all these shirts and give them to the homeless. Not only that but I think that Republicans should make lots more shirts that also have Democrat slogans on them and also give them to the homeless. In fact I would give the homeless free clothes forever as long as that this is the free clothing had a pro-Democrat statement on it. And by the way I wouldn't have anything anti-Democrat.…
← Previous segment →non like just a nothing tweet. Testing. How long before the spam hits my comments? Because I do wonder if anybody's watching to see if the content of my tweet is one that they want to connect to. So I don't know if it's content related. So I'm going to tweet this and if it's automatic the spam will be there like usually it's the first comment. So let's just test it. Let's test that tweet if any of you are watching it at the same time.
All right. The first two comments are not spam so it's possible that there are humans deciding which ones to attach the spam to. Do you think that's how it works? Do you think a human is doing it? Because it happened so quickly it looks like it's automated. If it doesn't pop up in like a minute then I won't believe it's automated. And let's see. Show more replies. Of course more replies on this one than normal of course. All right well I don't see it so I just I guess I don't know if it's automatic. Erica the excellent has already weighed in on this tweet and you're right. You're correct Erica.
All right. Is there any stories I missed that don't involve mass tragedies affected? What about Kanye's tweet about asking Trump to be his running mate? Oh did he do that? Well.
Oh Alex Berenson and Tom Elliott are in a Twitter argument on weed. So Berenson was sort of anti-weed, right? So there's one statistic that I follow for weed is life expectancy. The only study I've seen comparing frequent weed users with the rest of the public showed that their life expectancy was greater than the regular public. Now I don't trust studies so I'd have to see more but what I don't trust is the ones that say this looks like weed is even worse for your lungs than whatever because it feels like all those things are suggestive of a problem that doesn't show up in total mortality. And it all shows up in total mortality.
Have you ever heard of anybody dying of a weed related problem? Have you ever heard you didn't smoke cigarettes but he died of lung cancer? I've never heard of it. I mean maybe it happens.
Ali is still suspended. Ali Alexander is still suspended somebody says. Yeah he's going to be an edge case too.
Oh I forgot my best joke. Can you mentally go back with me in time? I've got to rewind. All right this will be worth it. Watch this. It'll be just like this it hadn't already happened and you hadn't already watched it.
So Tim Poole has a new mascot Chang or Uyghur I don't know how to pronounce his last name. And you may know him as the poor man's Alex Jones. Okay that's all I wanted to do. Now back where we were. He's the poor man's Alex Jones. Come on that's pretty good.
By the way this is one of my favorite jokes or joke structures. I love the joke structure when you say somebody is the poor man's somebody else because you can do it for almost anybody. You find somebody who just reminds you of them and is worse or better in some way and then you say they're the poor man's. It's always funny.
Somebody says I'm the poor man's Jordan Peterson. See that's perfect. That works. Yeah calling me the poor man's Jordan Peterson is perfect. Yeah that is the exact that's how you do that. Well executed. Well executed.
Now I try to be consistent on the following point. If somebody criticizes me or insults me in a way that's legitimately funny I'm just going to go with the joke. I'll just ignore the criticism because usually it's about the joke not the criticism and I'll just appreciate it. I appreciate a good joke at my expense if it's well formed and you know you're going for the laugh. That's fine.
Yay tweeted to use that bar Lago. Do you think that anything can redeem Kanye when he does the you know I'm Jewish stuff?
Here's how he could redeem himself. Kanye could just deny and say you know all that I'm more Jewish than the Jewish people. You know I did some more research and I found out that that wasn't all it was cracked up to be. You know that the research didn't pan out. And then just say I did more work

and now I changed my mind. Could he do that? If you saw Kanye say you know everybody criticized me I looked into it and I gotta say that was just a mistake. I believe he could pull that off. He could pull though because you know what America really forgives? Well what is it that America is really forgiving for? We forgive honest mistakes when somebody owns it, right? If you own your mistake people…
