hat age, a little bit of COVID. Who's to say he wouldn't come down with some long COVID? I mean if he were to get COVID he might be one of the statistics. You know what I mean? One of the people who gets that long COVID and doesn't know how long it's going to last. But it might be unfair to run for president under those conditions. Nothing is real. Literally nothing is real. You know, the most sh…
← Previous segment →y I said it or what the intention was or why I would say something so obviously out of place? The amount of the entire press, it was a national headline for days and days and days, weeks actually. It was trending for weeks. How many of them asked me why? That's nothing. Not a single one. Not even one. Isn't that the most obvious question? If that were news, don't you think they would ask me why I said it? Like what's up with that? You know, why does this not match anything you've ever done in the past? Nobody asked on that one thing, the national trending story. I'm a public figure. I'm literally the easiest person in the world to find. You could find me a hundred different ways. Nobody asked. Nobody. Not a single part of the media. No.
Now Chris Cuomo asked, but that was in the context of content for the show, right? But nobody asked as a news story, right? If you're actually on a show of course they can ask. But if you're not a guest on the show, nobody cared.
All right. NBC News had a story today and it doesn't matter what the story is but here's one sentence. Remember this is NBC. All right, you all know that NBC is not real news, right? If you listen to Glenn Greenwald he'll tell you directly there's just a CIA organ. They're not really, yeah, or I would say a Democrat organ at this point. They're not really trying to do the news. So but they have this statement. Quote: "Even though House Republicans have not produced evidence of wrongdoing by Biden, there's no evidence of wrongdoing."
Now let me be as clear as possible. Had they said there's no direct evidence of a crime I would say yeah, I think you're right about that. There's plenty of circumstantial evidence but I'm not even sure the circumstantial evidence indicates a crime that Biden himself did. I don't know. I'm no lawyer. But if they'd said something more clear like that I would say well yeah, technically I guess you're right. I guess you're right. But no, they have not produced evidence of wrongdoing.
Now wouldn't wrongdoing include taking money for things you're not providing as a service? As in if they're really not giving anything for these contacts, is that right? Is it right to take money for a product you're not delivering? I don't know. That would be wrong in a different way. What about lying about it the whole time? Is there any wrongdoing about lying that he had no knowledge of his kid's business? Oh never, never met with any of those people. Like yeah, I don't know if there was a technically a law broken but I've never seen more evidence of wrongdoing in my life. Have you ever seen more evidence? Now remember evidence is not proof. But I've never seen more evidence. I mean the evidence seems kind of overwhelming. But no, NBC News. Nope. No evidence of wrongdoing.
And if you thought that NBC News was real news and you read this, wouldn't you adopt that opinion? Oh well, NBC says there's no evidence of wrongdoing so I guess we're done here. Yeah. If you don't know that the news stopped being real a long time ago that would be confusing. If it was ever real. I mean there's a good argument it never was real.
Here's a good rule for you about science. We all love our science, right? Science being probably the single best way to know what's real and true and at least repeatable. That's the closest you can get to reality is what is predictable and repeatable. But I think you need to make a big distinction between science that is the subject of headlines and science that's happening in the lab and nobody knows about it.
Now I would like to make a clear demarcation. Science that nobody hears about because somebody, let's say they're testing a specific hypothesis, is not part

of a product, it's not related to the headlines, has nothing to do with climate change, has nothing to do with race, has nothing to do with anything that we debate about every day. I've got a feeling that's pretty good. Probably pretty good. Meaning that they probably are real scientists who are doing something real and getting real results. Sometimes wrong, sometimes right, but they crawl toward…
