t was just a free punch and they took it. Iran said no damage. Yeah I saw the videos of the no damage. It was a pretty big fireball for no damage. But on the other hand they could come back and get them on YouTube. Somebody's comparing me to Bill Kristol. Yeah yeah that's a good comparison. Bill Kristol and me we're like that. Same opinions on everything. Same simulation. They could have their o…

But what he doesn't understand is if you're Conor McGregor and somebody takes out your bicycle on the highway and you acrobatically survive, that was a good day. That wasn't a bad day. It was a good day. He got a great story out of it. Yeah I think he scratched his ass or something. That was the worst of it. Got a great story out of it. Did exactly what you would want to hope two people would do in that situation, right? The guy who hit him didn't seem like it was his fault because it was a blind spot there and even Conor said that. So the two of them completely reached a non-angry resolution in which they were helping each other. It was just the coolest story. Just the coolest story. Yeah anyway I liked it.
I saw Jesse Watters talking about Hunter and I don't know is there something new on this story or was he just recapping it because this is in the news today. I'm not sure why it was new but the FBI has recordings of Hunter talking to the what Hunter called the effing spy chief of China. And there was this one guy who they thought was a spy called Patrick Ho. And this Patrick Ho was part of the money making scheme in which Hunter and presumably Joe Biden made money from China going through this Patrick Ho. And I read the whole story and the only commentary I have on it is, you know Joe Biden said that Hunter Biden was the smartest person he knew and you doubted that, right? You doubted it. But he's the only person I've ever heard of who ever made money from a ho. That's all I have to say. He might be the smartest person I know too. I don't know anybody who ever made money on a ho unless they were a pimp but he wasn't a pimp. So smartest person I know.
But it makes you wonder if we have these recordings and we know every part of the story how is it Joe Biden still the president? It's so weird that he's still the president. And I wonder if we're, or most of us are living in the same kind of cognitive dissonance that the TDS people were, you know the Trump derangement syndrome. Because the thing that surprises the Trump haters the most is that Trump is not in jail right now. The reason Trump is not in jail is the total lack of committing crimes that are jailable. Maybe has something to do with not committing any jailable offenses, right? But they can't see that. To them he was a traitor, ran an insurrection, did all kinds of things. Are we doing the same thing with Biden or is that how they get away with it? They make you think well maybe you're not right because we're acting like it's not right. We're treating it like it doesn't exist so maybe you're not right. Maybe you've got a little derangement syndrome there Scott.
I don't even know if, if I'm being dead honest I don't know because that's the nature of confirmation bias, right? The nature of cognitive dissonance is the person who has it doesn't know. So what if I have it? What if the Bidens didn't do anything shady and it just looks exactly like that in every way to me and people who saw the same stuff I saw? Is that possible? Because you trust me there's nobody who has Trump derangement syndrome who thinks they have Trump derangement syndrome. They all think they're just looking at the facts and reaching a decision. Well that's what I think I'm doing. Well why am I right and they're wrong? Remember my rule about knowing who's g

ot cognitive dissonance. You look for someone who has the trigger and you know they exhibit the tells. I'm not sure I see any but then maybe I wouldn't. Yeah the word salad. Have I exhibited any word salad about Biden? Well you wouldn't know because if you're on the same page it would look like it made sense to you. Yeah anyway we'll keep an eye on that because it looks like nobody cares. So Trum…
