r Minnesota. We've got new allegations about the Uranium One situation and whether or not the Clintons did something illegal. We've got new allegations about the Clinton Foundation. We've got new allegations about whether or not it was appropriate to raid Mar-a-Lago for those documents. We've got new allegations about the Minnesota fraud being tied to the top leaders there. Let's see what else we'…
← Previous segment →llusion was, what they were trying to sell. He was behind the Russia collusion and he's good friends with the heads of, I think, three different heads of the CIA, past heads. Now come on.
Now the other thing that's bugging me a little bit, but because of my current situation I'll probably go easy on it. But isn't it true that we were happy when Bin Laden got killed? Is that not true? And the reason we were happy that Bin Laden got killed is that he was such a bad person. But he had a family. I'll bet he had lots of family members who were not guilty of anything. So why do we draw the line there? If Hitler had been murdered, would we say, "Well, you know, we got to give that a few days because we don't want to upset his family"? We wouldn't, right?
So Trump had the only honest reaction I've seen. If you were Trump, and you're not, so you don't have to respond the same way he would, but if you were Trump and you had just spent years with this guy trying to put you in jail and overthrow the country and literally trying to put you in jail, and he knew it was fake because I'm sure he did, how would you feel? It's never too soon.
But I will give Reiner credit for one thing. I don't think he could have done much more to help his son. If you've had experience with addicts, you know that you can't fix them. It's just not a thing. Addicts will be addicts. And there's no such thing as better parenting. That's just not a thing. Especially if they have mental illness. So when you look at all the work that he put into it to try to fix his son, I always say he did as much as any parent can do. So I disagree with those who say this was a reflection of his bad parenting style. I think he did everything he could have done. That's what I think.
But I also look at my personal situation. Do you think that my life would be the same if the Russia collusion hoax had not happened and all of the other hoaxes? The guy who's the most prominent pusher of Trump hoaxes directly affected my life in a very bad way. At what point do I get to say, "No, you're just a bad person"? Do I not get to have that opinion? And does it matter how soon I have it or how honest I am about it? Nope.
I have to admit, now if I were president, I might not make the same decisions that Trump made about how he did it and when he did it, but I would feel the same. And if the only thing that we're hearing from Trump is the honest reaction, how mad am I supposed to be at an honest reaction? Yeah.
So I'm also disgusted by the pretenders. Have you seen all the pretenders? Allow me to do my impression of a Democrat who is really mad at Trump. Oh, can you believe it? Oh, he couldn't even wait a day. The family, it's all so fake. Every single one of them would be happy if something bad happened to Trump. Now they might not say it for a day or two, but I guarantee they would feel it.
So if the only thing that Trump did is say what we all knew he was thinking, it's not exactly the crime of the century. And then I saw some people say that he'll lose votes. To which I said, how's Trump going to lose votes? He's not running. He's not running for anything. If he was running for something, maybe he would have played it differently. But he has the option of just being honest. Yep.
So I completely reject the fake outrage, but I do give Reiner lots of credit for being incredibly talented and for probably doing as much as he could for his son and having some bad luck about it. So everything's a mixed bag, don't you think?
What's your problem with it? That it's hard for me to read the comments that are zipping by. But I would say that even the fake reaction from the Democrats was insane. It's all fake. You show me one Democrat who would not celebrate if they had the death. Nobody. There's not a single person.
Do you remember when Trump killed Soleimani? Do any of you remember the Democrats saying, "Whoa, you're celebrating too fast"? I don't remember that. Now you might say, "But Scott, Soleimani was literally a terrorist and Rob Reiner was just a citizen who had a different opinion." To which I say, the Russia collusion hoax, if you're one of the main pushers of it, you were trying to overthrow my country and you were trying to put my president in jail and you were trying to destroy my reputation and anybody else who had ever backed Trump. Is that worse than Soleimani? No. Maybe it's not worse, but it's bad enough. It's bad enough.
At what point do we give him a break? Do we say, "Well, he didn't directly kill anybody, but he did try to overthrow the country. He did try to put in jail people who should not have been in jail, and he did try to ruin your career and your reputation indirectly by slamming you as a fascist." He did all of that. That's all true.
You played right into their hands. What? I don't understand that. Now just the fact that he says some nice things about Charlie Kirk after Charlie Kirk's death, that doesn't redeem him. Do you think that redeems the fine people hoax or the Russia collusion? So do you think I'm just doing a little live stream over here? Don't mind me. I'm live streaming, but don't mind. Okay.
So how many of you agree with me that if you're you, maybe you would play it differently, but if you happen to be the person who was in his crosshairs for eight years or however many years it was, totally illegitimate, it doesn't redeem him. Yeah.
And the people in the media are just absolutely cowardly about this. Absolutely cowardly. Because wouldn't you agree that there's a line at some point? At some point somebody is so bad, sort of like Soleimani or Bin Laden or Hitler, at some point you're so bad that it doesn't matter when you celebrate their death.
Now if you say, "But Scott, there's no way that Rob Reiner was that bad," I say he literally was part of a plot to take over the country, was he not? I mean, I just watched the video where it was incredibly clear that he was working with the people who were. So I am completely comfortable with Trump having a strong opinion about what value he had.
Bring back the law when we know if you're acting or advertising the fine people. Yeah. Was he about to roll on Brennan? I doubt it. No, I think it was probably exactly what it looked like. I think his son was troubled and there's some word that they got in a fight the night before, an argument.
So did you see the video of Al Franken many years ago doing a roast of Rob Reiner? And the entire roast was an extended, sort of fictional, I assume it was fictional, description of Rob Reiner being a child rapist raping children. And it wasn't just like one joke. He did an entire thing about it. Now as far as I know there's no evidence they ever did anything like that. But what does Al Franken know? And why would he even try that? Why would he do that approach in front of a bunch of people? Yeah, that was pretty creepy. South Park roasted him too. Yep.
Now did you hear the news that Erica Kirk and Candace Owens spent a few hours together to try to work things out and according to them they've reached some kind of better understanding? Was Rob laughing? He had that laugh like I'm sure he didn't like it. Yep. He was chuckling, but what was he supposed to do? Pretty much had to.
Yeah. I would not say that Trump celebrated his death. He did however characterize his life as a mixed bag. It's not like he said he didn't have talent. He had lots of talent. I have to say his filmography might be the best of all time. I think he's better than Spielberg, better than, you know, if we're just looking at his skill level. Pretty hard to beat. Pretty hard to reach.
Celebrating death. I don't think he celebrated death. That would not be my take. But would you not celebrate Hitler's death? Would you not? Talent does not make you a good person. It's true. But if you want to look at the full picture, what does Scott say? Damn it. I wish I could find a way to look at comments after they go by.
You know, I didn't like Spinal Tap. I'm going to have to rewatch it because a bunch of people said it was their favorite movie of all time. My favorite movie probably wouldn't be Harry met Sally or When Harry Met Sally. The president is supposed to take the high road. No, I disagree. No, but you are absolutely wrong. The president is not supposed to take the high road again. What did Trump do when he killed Soleimani? Did he take the high road and say, "Well, sure, I'm feeling bad for his family, but we had to do it"? Absolutely not. Once you reach a certain point of badness, you can say anything you want. It's not bad form at all. Yeah.
The fake performative. Yeah. A lot of it is performative. People are using it as a way to say how nice they are. Oh, I am so nice that even though he tried to destroy me and put me in jail and destroy my family and destroy my legacy and even though he did all of those things, I would not say anything bad about him right after he died. That would just be a big liar.
What will Trump say when Biden dies? Well, I would say the same standard, honestly, because Biden did push the fine people hoax, which I think is unforgivable. I think the fine people hoax, when you know it's a hoax, and he did, that is unforgivable because it's not about just your competitor. It's about all the supporters of the competitor. So Biden threw me under the bus by being a prominent Trump supporter. So would I feel bad when Biden dies? No, I'm not going to feel bad when he dies. I believe that what he did to me personally was so bad that I may not feel happy about it because that would be ghoulish but I'm not going to feel bad about it. I'm not going to feel bad because he did a lot worse to me. He sold out America. I think that's true.
Love thy enemies. No thanks. Yep. Five hundred seventy seven vacation days. Really? Yeah. That old taking the high road is gaslighting, right? Yep.
So now if I'm going to draw a line, which I will. All right, let me draw a line. Who would be, let's say somebody like Chuck Schumer? Let's say something tragic happened to Chuck Schumer. I think I would let that go because he's a lot closer to being a standard politician. But that's not what Reiner was. He was not a standard politician. He was part of a, you know, he very obviously in my opinion was trying to overthrow the country and get rid of Republicans.
The high ground maneuver is really different. That's a whole different use of high ground. Love and hate give power to the receiver. Mhm. Yeah. I wouldn't say that Trump gave him hate. I think he just gave his honest opinion.
Was Reiner aware of the hoax or taken in? Well, the fact that he sat down with the two heads of the CIA who very much knew it was a hoax and that he's buddies with a lot of those top people and he's a Hollywood guy and he put so much work into it. He made it look like a job. Yeah. There are probably a thousand different actors that had similar opinions, but they didn't treat it like it was their job. He treated it like it was a job. So in my opinion he knew exactly what he was doing and he just didn't want Trump to be president. Yeah.
When Schumer said "Go Bills." Incredible. Sometimes silence is the better choice. But you know that wouldn't be Trump, would it? So even though I would agree with you on that statement that it would have been better just to say nothing, Trump has every right to tell us what he really thinks. And I don't mind it at all.
All thoughts are lies. Yeah. Why does he have to love Rob Reiner? Yeah. How could he not be aware that he was promoting hoaxes? Because he does seem pretty smart, Reiner. Nobody ever called him dumb. So pretty sure he knew exactly what he was doing. He literally was one of America's greatest purveyors of fiction, was he not? If you think about it, who were the two most famous purveyors of fiction? Stephen King and Rob Reiner. Nobody was more experienced or skilled at promoting fiction.
Carl Rove abusing and passing around makes you wonder. Well, I wouldn't go that far. I would say there's no hard evidence that he committed any sex crimes. Yeah, George Takei. Yep. I think George Takei probably believed what he was saying. Yeah.
No, don't ask me to say prayers for Rob Reiner. No, you tell me. You tell me if it's true or not that Rob Reiner personally damaged me. Don't you think that he and his band of lying hoaxers damaged me and anybody else who was a prominent Trump supporter? Of course. Do you think I would have been cancelled if not for all the hoaxes? Just ask yourself that question. Would I have been cancelled if not for all the hoaxes about Trump? I don't think so. People might have, you know, it might have been a one day press thing, but I wouldn't have been cancelled. So I feel like I have a perfectly reasonable opinion about him.
Well, being a straight white male certainly made a difference. You got lowered. Well, it's about time you joined. Both symptoms of delusions. Yeah. Yep. I'm not aware of anyone who apologized for the fine people hoax or the Russia collusion hoax and all the damage that they did to conservatives. Bonino might quit. I don't know how anybody does that job for four years.
When do I go home? Maybe never. Don't know. I can't go home until there's a way to take care of me at home. And right now that would require some setting up. But what we don't know is aft

er the treatments are over, I just wait a few weeks to see if it worked. And that will be a very long few weeks because if it doesn't work and I don't get back any mobility, my life will be quite different and probably a lot shorter. Mhm. Yeah. You can stop asking that question, explicit damage. Yeah. I will find out about the blue thing today. So my oncologist will be stopping by in an hour. It…
