unday on a Thanksgiving long weekend, the news is sort of shooting blanks. So we don't have a lot to work with today. Do you think Hunter is waiting for a Hunter hearing without some plan? You know, it could be that Joe Biden needs to remain president long enough to pardon Hunter. Has anybody said that out loud? Because remember the president has lost one adult son, and if you've lost one adult so…

yesterday you left us with a conversational debunk on the clots. Blood clots, they are not. Yeah. By the way, is anybody done the debunk work on that blood clot died suddenly film documentary? If you do your own research, you very quickly find people who say oh that can be explained away. It's just refrigerated dead people. They all have that blood clot stuff like that. But there's been a debunk on the debunk. There's always a debunk on the debunk. That's why basically you just have to make up your own mind. It's not like we have information that works anymore. We don't. You have to make up your own mind.

What I say about doing your own research is that you should always hear both sides. If doing your own research means as a scientist, then that usually doesn't work because we're not good scientists. Even the scientists can't do that. But you should always see both sides. Seeing both sides is just being aware of the argument. That's I would say that's different from doing your own research. I mean that's the smallest version of doing your own research is simply being aware what the other side says. That's as far as I would go. Just be aware of it. What you do with it is up to you.

Yeah, morticians found the rubbery clots to be an anomaly. How much would you want to bet that if you did interviews with people in that field you would find people who disagree with you and say no this is normal. That's just a refrigerated corpse. They all look like that. How much would you bet you could find somebody to say who does that job who says no it's obviously faked? Easily. Now that doesn't mean it's faked, but I'll bet you can find somebody in that industry who says it's fake. I don't know. Who knows?

Now let me, I did hear from, I'm not going to name names, but I did hear from a documentarian who wanted to clarify that although I said documentaries are by their nature the least credible form of information, that does not mean they're incorrect. You all get that, right? I have to talk about this all the time. When I say something has no credibility, that doesn't mean it's false. They're completely different topics. Something could be true or false and you just don't know one way or the other. But if the person who has a history of lying all the time is your only source, then you'd say well I don't know. There's no credibility there.

Name names. Freedom is what is true. I don't know. Yeah, I said that yesterday but I have to say it a lot because it's hard to hear. Yeah, I think the rubbery clots are just the refrigerated corpses. They have rubbery clots. That's what I've been told by doctors.

Biden pardons Fuentes for what? It's easy to find them to discredit. Then why haven't you done the work? Oh, good question. If it's easy to find the morticians who would discredit it, why have I not done the work? Would anybody like to answer the question before I go off on this person? If you answer the question well enough I won't go off on them. Otherwise I'm just going to go off on them right now. Would you like to take a moment to possibly stop me from doing that? Do you know I haven't looked into it? I don't work for you. Do you know how many things I haven't looked into? How many things that I could do that I haven't done? I have a lot of things to do. Why don't you look into it and then tell me how it went? Because I'm not going to mow your lawn. I'm not washing your dishes. I'm not doing your laundry. I know you'd like to know. Well why don't you go do it yourself? It's not my job to do every piece of research that you need. Do you think that's what I'm doing here? I do the best I can with the time I have and the priorities that make sense to me. Yeah, you go look it up. Do you know what you're going to find? Do you know why I don't look up things when I already know the answer? Because it's a waste of my time.

All right. If you came to me and said oh we discovered that alcohol makes you immortal and live forever, and I say well I don't think so. That doesn't sound credible. Are you going to say to me Scott you haven't taken the time to do a deep dive on this claim that alcohol can make you immortal? No, I'm not going to do a deep dive on that. It's so obviously not true. Do you know it's also obviously not true? I didn't want to say it because I didn't want to insult my audience, but I'm just going to do it anyway. That blood clot thing is so obviously false. If you believe that, you're okay. I don't want to insult you. Don't believe that. Don't. It's the most obviously false looking thing I've ever seen. If you even feel you need to look into it, I don't know. I mean go ahead, but I'm not going to bother. It's so obviously false. Do you know why it would be the top news story? Because it's so easy to check. Like you said I could do a deep dive. You don't think the New York Times and other places looked at that and said we maybe ought to talk to at least one mortician? You don't think anybody did that? Of all the media, big media people who are looking for a story and would love to have a story because there are conservative ones who would love this to be true, right? There are conservative ones who get a lot of clicks if this were true and they could confirm it. The fact that nobody can confirm this thing should be a big flag to you that you don't need to research it.

Now the only reason I tell you that you should look into it is because I'm being polite, right? If you had a little bit of sophistication about looking at the news, you wouldn't have to look at that at all. It's so obviously false. Like this one you should have seen from the jump. The day I saw that I didn't even give it a moment's thought. I just said well that's the most obviously false thing I've ever seen. And then people started believing and I'm like oh God they'll believe anything. Don't make it my job to debunk the obvious. Okay, maybe I'll debunk things that are a little bit on the edge or not so sure, but don't make me debunk things that are so obviously fake. So obviously fake. All right, I really didn't want to do that but you forced my hand.

Counterpoint: why didn't you take any boosters? Because it was Omicron and I didn't need to travel. So anybody who confuses decisions in a state of uncertainty with decisions in a state of certainty, you should not be talking in public. So is there anybody here who knows why I got the original two vaccinations? Okay, can you answer the question? Why did I? For sex. Yeah, I did it for sex. And so far I'm healthy and I had lots of good sex. So for those of you who are criticizing me, you did not go to Bora Bora and have amazing sex in a tropical paradise. I did. I did. I took the chance. Now if you say Scott if you drop dead from that shot the joke's on you, do you know what I'd say? I'm ready to go. I wouldn't have a special problem with that. I'm absolutely ready. No I'm not suicidal. Right, everything's fine. My mental state is actually very very good. I'm just saying that I took a chance. I weighed the pluses and the minuses in a state of not knowing really what was true. I didn't know if at that point I didn't have any sense of whether the vaccination or the COVID itself would be more dangerous or even how well the vaccination worked. Those were all unknowns. But I knew for sure that I like high quality sex in tropical locations. That was the only thing I knew for sure. And that if I got that second jab I could go to a tropical location and bang my brains out while you were laying on your couch with a mask on. So all of you geniuses who laid on the couch with your mask on, good for you. You're the smart ones.

All right, this is the other thing that I think is funny. I just saw a comment on Locals. How many of you think that a rich male in America in 2022, somebody who is rich and has pretty much perfect body mass index, do you think I calculate, does anybody think that's beyond my reach? What world do you live in? Yeah, what world do you live in that a rich healthy guy can't get laid in America? Like how bad would your game have to be? Well you couldn't make that work. What age do you target? Doesn't matter. So one of the comments was what age do you target? Again, rich healthy man in America, no you have lots of options. Have lots of options. Yeah, I don't go full Epstein. That would be too far. And I'm not terribly interested in anybody who's too young. Still legal but too young. Too young meaning let's say in their 20s. 20s is kind of tough.

Anyway, somebody says the older you get the more you have to fight them off. That is totally true. The closer I get to death the more valuable I am. You get that, right? It's true. It's like absolutely true. The closer I am to death the better I am

as a marriage potential because you get at least you get the money even if you don't get the guy. Yeah. Anyway, so I guess I don't have much to talk about today because the news is a little uninteresting. By tomorrow it'll be all interesting again. Are you seeing any difference in Twitter lately? I thought the trolls went away for a while but I think they're back. So I had a troll resurgence rec…
