So we make this mistake over and over again. We treat people who literally have mental health problems as if it's just a difference of opinion. Probably ought to stop doing that. Joy Reid, somebody just posted a picture of Joy Reid with her new Trump haircut. Joy Reid comes off as a mental health problem. What's her name, what's her co-host there who only works on Monday? What's her name? Rachel.…

Now it could be that the only problem is my low level of understanding of physics. But the more I looked into it, the more obvious it was that the physicists really didn't understand their own field. And I don't know if that's what Eric Weinstein is getting at. I think his point is a little more nuanced and a little more interesting than that. But to me it looks like they don't know their own field. And I've thought that for decades now.
Recently I find out that half of all scientific papers are just BS. You know, people have tested it by making fake papers and seeing if they passed peer review. About half of them do. And that matches the number of peer-reviewed studies that can't be reproduced because they're probably not true. So science is indeed a ridiculous thing that we pumped up to be more important than it is. Because it might be the best we have, but that's a long way from being good.
But you know, even though physics is sort of sketchy, at least climate science is real. Am I right? At least we got climate science completely right. So next story. Michael Shellenberger says there's an author, Dr. Mike Hulme, I think, Cambridge climate scientist. Well, he's going to tell some stuff about climate science and how big of a problem it is. Let's see. He says in his new book, climate emergency is what he calls a noble lie. A noble lie. That feels like an academic way of saying something else. A noble lie. Well, seems like a positive spin on something that somebody with orange hair once said about climate change. What was that word? Oh, a hoax.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's too early to say for sure, but the simulation seems to be very intent on lighting up a third act for Trump that is like nothing you've ever seen. Now I've long predicted that Trump's third act would be proof that the election was rigged. I don't know if we need proof when two-thirds of the country says it's obviously true. I don't know if he needs proof. He got two-thirds of the country to say, "Yeah, I think elections are not real." That's kind of a big win, right? And that was all him. That was all him. One person got two-thirds of the country to not believe our elections are real.
Now you can say to yourself, but all these other Republicans were saying it too. They would have said it if Trump didn't say it. If Trump said, you know what, stand down, I think it was fair, let's accept it, his base would have gone along with it. I mean,

we would have talked about it forever, but we kind of would have accepted it. It was one person who caused two-thirds of the country to think the elections are rigged. Now that's my current belief without the benefit of any proof. Would you like to see my argument for why I believe that climate change is almost certainly a lie, and that our elections are almost certainly a lie, and that the war i…
