difference in the comments on YouTube versus Locals. For those who said no, I guess it would be hard to ask the question. So I see more yeses than nos but I think the nos may be, yeah I mean I have a theory about the nos. I think the nos are people who don't want this to be useful. I think there are a lot of people who just want their drama. They want their hate. They want their helplessness. You…
← Previous segment →uch later. Now I could be wrong pretty easily but that's what it looks like. And I base this on pattern recognition. If you put me in this situation, you said all right you're Jill and you're gonna have to break the news to him and he's not going to like it. I do it on his summer vacation when he has lots of time away from the regular work to process it. I do it when he's away from everybody else because if he doesn't take it well you don't want a lot of witnesses. And I would do it exactly at this time so there's enough time for a replacement to get in without it being too embarrassing.
What do you think? I think to me it is screamingly obvious that from the, here's the modeling point. If you put a political model in this you can't see it. If it's only a political model it's a little bit invisible. If you put a relationship model on it it's obvious. If you put a relationship filter on this it's obvious. She must have told him. She must have told him in the last two weeks. That's what I think. So we'll test it. So this will be a good test of my predicting. Nothing's 100 but I feel pretty confident about this one. That I think the relationship filter is screamingly obvious on this one. Well we'll see. And also anything could change.
All right, it's all, Ben Shapiro and some other smart people say that the special counsel that's been chosen can't be chosen from the government employee and that's what they did. So did they just sort of decide to ignore the laws or statutes or is there actually a counter argument to this? Because to me it looks pretty cut and dried. You can't pick them from a government employee. He is a government employee. They did pick him. Can somebody explain that to me?
It's not a law, it's a statute. So is it a suggestion but not a requirement? Oh they violated it before. It's a regulation not a requirement. So who can violate a regulation? Anybody who's the boss I don't know. So I don't know if that's a big story or not. Probably not.
Do we need to talk about the Georgia situation and Trump's perfect phone call? Now the perfect phone call to me looks just like the drinking bleach hoax, the fine people hoax. It's entirely based on intentional misreporting, isn't it? They changed the words of what he said and then they changed the context a little bit. If they didn't change his words, his exact words and his context, it looks completely different. So I guess that's all I would say about it. It's the same trick of taking your amount of context.
All right, remember every single day I tell you that Ramaswamy Vivek won the news cycle again. Well here we go again. One of the viral videos is a pansexual LGBTQ reporter for some publication got the conversation or asked Vivek some questions quite politely and Vivek's answer was so perfect and complete and off the cuff, like he wasn't reading from notes or anything. And he talked for a while. I mean so it was a really complete tight little package that it became viral just because it was the best answer anybody's ever seen to that question.
Imagine being so good at answering the question that people make you viral just because your answer was so good. You just look at it and go how did you even do that? That was so good, right? And that was just one thing he did. I mean he was rapping the other day. But then he also makes news by being sort of the only one who's saying, and I think this is him his actual words, Ukrainian state affiliated companies multi-million dollar bribe to the Biden family. So he's calling it a bribe and he's saying somewhat obvious that this should have affected his decisions on support for Ukraine's war. And he says it directly which again makes news.
And I think it's a perfect, perfectly fair framing of the situation. He's not saying that there's a specific any specific decision but this clearly would put you in a conflict, bribery-looking situation which he says is impeachable. It looks impeachable to me. I mean it looks like the most impeachable thing of all time. It's like perfectly impeachable. So there it is again. Vivek day after day after day wins the news cycle.
Now how did DeSantis do in Iowa? DeSantis looks like somebody who already decided to quit the race. Right because the other people, they still have a second bite of the apple because they still have the vice presidency that's sort of up for grabs and then another chance at the presidency. DeSantis is not really a possibility as a vice president, would you agree? I don't see any way that DeSantis would be a vice presidential shortlist.
So if DeSantis thinks he can't make it to the top, it looked like a whole lot of giving up this week. It looked like maybe he's already decided that he's just going through the motions because he has backers and they told him not to quit yet. But of course I suppose everybody's waiting just to see if Trump escapes all of his legal problems. But I think Vivek will be the, if Trump went away I think Vivek would rise to the top immediately as a person who would get the Trump votes.
Trump went after his judge that he's going to have for her alleged bias in her past statements about Trump. And I would agree that her past statements about Trump to me show a bias against it. Has anybody read her comments? Because that one party she talked about other people in January 6 in some public statement and said that yet Trump remains free. Now that statement is chilling because it's a very clear statement that she believes that he should not be a free man before seeing the evidence, just based on what she saw in public.
Now here's the situation. The media spent how many years, like six years, seven years brainwashing the public, mostly Democrats, brainwashing Democrats into believing that Trump is a traitorous racist sexist. Am I right? He's a traitorous racist sexist. The news has been telling everybody, mostly Democrats, this for years. And then the person who is randomly chosen happens to be a female black immigrant. The very groups that the news has been telling everybody should be the most outraged that he even exists.
Now as I said in my tweet, if science were real, and I'm pretty sure it's not at this point, and the scientists were not useless weasels, don't you think there should be some scientist like a cognitive scientist who should say under these specific situations you absolutely cannot have an immigrant black female judging Trump?
Now this is not a comme

nt about her qualifications. You got to hear this clearly. I have no reason to believe she's not a great judge. No indications. I also understand that judges could have bias but still do their job. Do we agree? This is not a comment about her as a judge. Not about her. It's a general statement that if you put anybody in this situation, cognitive scientists, if they were not all frauds and weasels…
