the 90s Dilbert was big. I was giving a speech in Washington DC just a Dilbert speech for money and some of the administration found out that I was in town the Clinton administration and I got invited into the White House to just kind of look around and meet some of the staff of Al Gore's staff his speech writing staff and I guess Al Gore found out I was in the building so somebody said hey that D…
← Previous segment →something and we don't know what that meant and then assume that she was banging it out with the Obamas. That's a little too far for me. So maybe I mean you can't rule it out anything anything's possible I suppose but I don't think that we have something like evidence of that. I think we have confirmation bias like our brains are primed for that kind of interpretation and then that comes along and then you say oh there's more of that. Probably not probably not but you never know anyway.
I saw that Elon Musk I think he retweeted something that said that X is not just a social media network it's a crime scene. So when people delete all of their social media it does look like a crime scene. So also with Usher I have no evidence whatsoever that Usher was involved in anything inappropriate. The confirmation bias is enormous and sometimes the simulation tries to give you a hint as well but I'm not saying that Usher did anything that involved gay sex. I'm just saying that they wouldn't call him Usher unless he showed a lot of people to his seat. I'll just let that one sink in a little bit. Yeah you wonder why nobody else said that first. That's why you have me is for this.
Well there's another sex related scandal you heard about a journalist named Olivia Nuzzi allegedly was sexting RFK Jr but we only have confirmation that she was sexting we do not have confirmation that he said anything inappropriate but there are reports that his wife had her wedding ring off you know where she wherever she was overseas I guess and there are reports that Olivia Nuzzi who was engaged to also journalist Ryan Lizza that that's been broken off because of whatever this was. So poor Ryan Lizza left his wife and kids to be with Olivia Nuzzi he was 50 she's 31 and then the 31 year old may have cheated on him by sexting with somebody who was closer to 70 and now to be fair the person she was allegedly sexting was far more alpha than her fiance but I think he's maybe the biggest victim in all this. You know RFK Jr probably can handle this like it's just a Tuesday but I mean because he's handled basically everything you could handle but this poor guy Ryan Lizza imagine like it's in the news oh my God it's terrible anyway.
I would say that there's no evidence that RFK Jr did anything inappropriate there's definitely evidence that she did but we haven't seen any texts from him to suggest that he went too far. I'm going to say innocent till proven guilty so I'm just going to ignore it. Also you never know what the situation is with anybody else's relationship you never know so trying to assume you know it's just like you would act and you know that never works in these situations.
Well meanwhile in Lebanon the US State Department is calling on its citizens to get out of Lebanon. What do you think that means? It means exactly what you think it means. It means that Lebanon is going to get a lot of bombing and of course it's already started. So the Hezbollah up in Lebanon they've been launching rockets into Israel they say in response to the pagers and walkie-talkies blowing up and of course Israel is attacking and so Israel is selling this to the media that they're attacking to prevent an imminent attack. Oh sure yeah okay yeah all right yeah they're going to attack any minute now so you bomb them first. That might be true but you know what else is true? Hezbollah has been sending rockets pretty much non-stop for years. They don't need a reason. You don't need a reason. You don't need to tell me that you're doing it because they're ready to launch an attack. They've got 100,000 rockets aimed at you and you have not threatened them whatsoever at least you know except in defense and they don't need a reason.

You just don't need a reason. If somebody's got 100,000 rockets pointed at you and they're sending some of them at your residential places on a regular basis for years you don't need a reason. I'm glad that you said it I mean maybe it's better than not saying it but don't think you need to justify it. Nobody needs to justify that. If we had 100,000 rockets pointed at us from Canada and they've bee…
