Well, if you haven't noticed, the crypto news world is getting all excited because millionaire genius Eric Finman, who I believe is watching right now — hi Eric — did a shout-out to the WEB token, my startup's crypto. And now there's Chinese websites talking about it. It's on Yahoo News. It's on a bunch of sites. And one word from Eric makes the world go crazy. So we had one of our biggest days.…
← Previous segment →All right. I'm running a poll right now on Twitter in which I'm asking people: Is the fact that Democrats are favoring Joe Biden and saying that he has the best chance to win — because that's the reason they're favoring him, they say he has the best chance to win — is that not a racist dog whistle? It's sort of a sexist dog whistle, but is it not a racist dog whistle?
I mean, according to the rules — I don't make the rules. The rules are created by the people I'm talking about, not by me, but by their definition — what could it possibly mean to say he has the best chance of winning? Do they know that Cory Booker is running? Do they know that Kamala Harris is running? Do they know that Elizabeth Warren is running?
Here's my question. Is there anybody who thinks that Joe Biden would do a better job in the office than any of the three people I just mentioned? Okay, can anybody say that he would do a better job than one of those three people? I don't think so.
So what is it that makes him the person who could win? Is it because he speaks better in public? Well, that's not true. Is it because he's younger and more energetic? No. Is it because of his experience? Well, unfortunately his experience is sort of negative because he's got things in his past that are opposite of current Democratic thinking. Is it because he's so nimble as a politician? Well, no. He's the gaffe machine.
If you were to look at any one of his qualities, is it because he's the smartest? No. Is it because he has the best policies? Doesn't seem that way. So if he doesn't have any individual quality that's better than the individual qualities of the people who are lower in the polls, what can we determine about Democrats? I think it's racist. And by the way, I'm not joking.
Can you see it any other way? Because once I say it, you can sort of see it. Like it's invisible until the first time you hear it. But the fact that he doesn't have any quality that's better than the other pack, and yet he's clearly the favored one, the only one who can win — I don't know what else he has except he's an old white guy.
Now, I know people are gonna say name recognition. But name recognition is irrelevant in terms of who's going to be running against Trump, because by the time you get to the final run, everybody has name recognition. Whoever Trump runs against is going to be really, really, really well known. So it doesn't matter at this point.
I can see why people would maybe vote for him because they haven't heard of the others at this point. But it's one thing to say that he's getting the most votes because he has name recognition. That's not racist. Would you agree? It's not racist to say somebody has more name recognition. That's just a fact. You can do a poll. You can determine that. There's no racism as part of that.
But to take that to the next level and say he has the best chance of winning based on what? Based on the fact that a lot of Democrats are also racist and sexist? Is that what makes him better than all the people who are smarter, younger, and more nimble and have had policies that are more compatible? I don't know. Feels like racism to me.
So I just put that out there because it's fun.

There's a New York Times article in which they have acknowledged that Google can brainwash citizens at will. Have you seen that? You know, I floated the idea the other day — was it yesterday? — in which you could have the social media platforms identify people who are starting to get radicalized by what they're watching and what they're typing, what they're saying, and what they're responding to.…
