nd it would work totally, would work. They could use reading a book that gives them some tips, totally would work. They could say, "Oh, I did it my way. I went to a desert island." That would work. It all works once you've decided. Everything works. But you might want to do something. In other words, don't do nothing. It probably helps that you pick some method you're comfortable with. But the fli…

ed about the advantages and disadvantages? Is that all it is? They're just uninformed? Probably.

All right. So you know this whole Seth Rich thing is bubbling up again because I guess through some Freedom of Information Act we'll soon have access to what his laptop said. Now I don't expect anything interesting to come of that. According to a thing called the news, the idea that Seth Rich had been giving stuff to WikiLeaks and that therefore that's why he got killed, that came literally from a Russian disinformation. That's the first time I heard that. And that the story is that was Russian disinformation, and Sean Hannity on Fox is the primary one who turned it into a thing, and that there was never anything to it. How many of you think that that's a true statement of what happened? That there's no evidence anywhere, there's no document, there's no testimony, no evidence that WikiLeaks ever got anything from Seth Rich? Don't believe it.

But we do live in a world where most of the conspiracy theories have turned out to be real. You know, maybe like 55% of them or something. So it's sort of squarely in the category of anything's possible, isn't it? Yeah, just sort of anything's possible. I don't know. But I'd love to see Hannity respond to the claim that the entire thing was based on one Russian known Russian disinformation, because there was a fake document that they say they chased to Russia. It doesn't exactly sound like you could believe either side of this. Yeah, there's a lot of lack of credibility in this story.

Well, Gallup has a poll about how independent voters are thinking about Biden. I'm going to ask you to see if you can guess. If the independent voters, what percent do you think did not think that Biden's ruining the economy? Very good guess. Yeah, about a quarter. About a quarter. That's correct. All right. How many of the independents thought he's doing a pretty good job in the Middle East? Oh, right again, 25%. Yeah, it's right around 25%. How about what percentage of the public thinks he's doing good in foreign affairs in general? Foreign

affairs in general. Well, how do you keep doing this? You're right again. Yeah, 28%. But you're very, very close. Very close. Wow, you are the smartest audience I've ever seen. And it should be noted that many of you had the right answers before I asked the question. That's something you're not going to see on Alex Jones. No, no. Only here can Steven Crowder have people get the right answer before…
