I'll even put on my microphone to you, you do people yeah it's gonna guy. I am well good morning and welcome to the place where I can't put my elbow on the desk, because two spanish do you knew that this morning? But let me tell you your day is: look it up. I dont know how it started but pay attention to how it goes, Better starting now right, you can already feel like cancer little bit of a lift your day. Just the moment, you heard my voice yeah because you been trained that this is a

highlight of your day. The simultaneous sip is the best thing that ever happened all morning so far, and all you need to participate is a couple among your glasses, tankard, Palestine, the canteen jirga, flask vessel of what kind of any kind pillar with your favorite liquid. I like coffee join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the Delta media the day, the thing that makes everything better, including Kim's birthday, happy birthday, Kip, Everybody by its Kim's birthday over on Youtube. Everybody for this is for, can simultaneous sip birthday addition happy birthday, Kim. Now I don't want to go out on a limb and say there came who we just met here under a comment on Youtube.

might be the best Bertha you're arrogant enough so next year, a little bit of a disappointment. But this year, while, while used you kicked off just rank well so blue. The cat update, my loving care taboo should be coming home today shows have a little feeding tube than unparalleled can after Sticker Metzinger liquid food into a feeling too for a few more days, but she is barely doing well. I guess they gives the feeling tube in the side of the neck. So it's not like it's up there It's not in the cat's mouth or is it snows? And I guess it's hard to sleep and stick a little thing in their neck and then you can just shove food didn't medicine down at until they feel better, and then they can so amazing technology, but I guess it works well with

now today that you know those those nasal tests that you get and they they take out the cutest, that's the size of a baseball bat and they shut up your nose until hits your brain. You feel like you're, getting tacitly like. I think I'm forgetting my second great experience. I don't remember my friend Bob from is basically giving your brain damage as you're. Getting no its, not know it's not. I should say that somebody's gonna believe it's true. No, it doesn't

if your brain damage, but it turns out they hear the same results from gurgling. So apparently, the other model that they could have done is take a swing, something and spend it into a cup. So for a year and a half, we had sticks shoved up our nose to tickle our brains, good needed to need it. But look up. I will endeavour to so thanks to Adam Dopamine on Twitter, for alerting me to that update So, as I fascinating thread on twitter there, I will call to your attention just look at my twitter feed to see it. I just put it today this morning, so you'll find it is about Africa and alcohol.

And it's a story that I had never heard now: there's little pushed back onto it, her from people who know I have not read norms by a horrible hug. You can stop asking, So it's all a push back about whether this is accurate or maybe it's just anti european racism, reverse racism, kind of thing So I will I will say, and I can't vouch for the historical accuracy on it is presented by somebody who seems to know their due. But the idea was us that apparently the lot of the cold, this- and I don't know how universal or centrally planned that this was- I don't think it was centrally planned, but they

use alcohol to colonise parts of Africa and they were they were doing a couple different ways. One is that there would get the locals enacted. There are just a dictum to alcohol and then, when you are traded your alcohol further, whenever they have, you got to get a good deal because they can they have to give it to you khazar addicted. so they actually turned the locals into alcoholics. But secondly, we did is nonsense. Locals did not have a culture and history of alcohol. There were typically drink too much because you know what just wasn't part of their history and the knowledge about it. And let right there would be little wild as people do on alcohol and then the colonists would use that reportedly

As an excuse to take over because I say well, look at these savages running round all drunk they care on themselves and then it'll help. So part of the scheme for tat. You have over these places enveloped involved alcohol, Currently, the first factory in the in Africa was a distillery. Now the pushback is maybe it wasn't some universal centrally planned. You know white thing to get rid of black people or something it was probably just a People realize that work, and so they did it, but you don't realize that pernicious effect of alcohol in the whole history of humankind. It's a way bigger deal than I think we appreciate how much alcohol and then even you know and stuff.

Change civilization, and so this conversation caused at least one person to fine day study suggests that moderate drinking of alcohol is good for you. Do you believe that? How many people here in the comments, you ve all see the studies and they ve been repeated number of studies and the same thing? How many of you believe the moderate drinking is good for you? Actually, it's actually not just neutral, essentially good for you haven't you believe it, because the study say that right how many of you seen the studies is a little bit of alcohol too good for moderation, and why do you believe it? Who did those studies? You get really quiet here in a moment who do you think those studies, anything funded, I'm just a guess. What what's your best guess about who funded the stuff

Is this as alcohol is good for you just take it s now. Are you aware? Let me just give you some context. First. Are you aware that there was a time in our history in which the advertisements said cigarettes were good for you? Are you aware of that? Just as context? There was a time in our history where we were told that cigarettes we're healthy their good for you who do you think, funded those studies or even if there were studies, There were well probably the cigarette companies right. If you see a study this as our alcohol is good for you, somebody directly or indirectly, probably with the alcohol industry, had something to do with now. We ask you this: do the studies essay alcohol seems to be associated with better health? Do they show the causation in the comments?

Do you believe that there is any science that demonstrates causation, not just correlation cause? A correlation, I think is pretty well established. Modern drinkers do are healthier. I think might actually be true, but do you believe the science in any study as established? That is a cause nope? Even I see somebody refer to resume natural or whatever. It is the chemistry this in wine. Yes, there has been. And shown to have a healthy benefit that one chemical, but there is so little of it in the amount that you drink, that it wouldn't have any effect. Even the sides doesnt claim that drinking would give you that affect extreme moderation is good.

Oh Ilium baby says I find a new study proving that giving blowjobs your husband extends your life, your wife's life and those bonds. I feel like that signs a little sceptical about this alcohol stuff, but this study and that's something I can. I can believe so- here's my prediction ready. Contrary prediction some day, you will learn

alcohol in moderation is not good for you and then it never was, and there was always bullshit. Here's the reason that it should. You should expect studies which show a strong correlation between moderate drinking and healthy this, because the people who are capable of moderate drinking are all healthier and they're. The ones who are friends, they socialize That's what the moderate genius socializing with their friends, these things are all correlated with good health, so yes, of course, is correlated, but there's no evidence of causation and the other. Think there's any reasonably. There would be some day. You will see that this prediction will come true, that that was always always bullshit, that alcohol is poison and is just poison, is not good for you at any amount.

It's fun I say, wasn't fun, it's just not good. For you, health was Should I got from many people is ok, Scott, so you cleverly I think that the simulation is really describing reality in that and that the math of it in the statistics are that we're probably a simulation, not an original species. Now: does not eliminate the possibility of God it does not cause you could ever God who created the first species and then the first species created all the rest of the simulations of which we are more likely to be a simulation original does are always be more simulations than rituals right, but somebody asked me well somebody had to get it all going right

There had to be something first right, so they had to be something before the simulation right. Nope, you have your brave explode nope. It is not logical that threat be something first, because time space time was a space time to make it so little more science, but the time version of that is infinite. Essentially, how can you have something start when time? Essentially there can't be their logically, there can't be a beginning, because it would have been something before that. So I dont think that is logical, that somebody had to get it all going. Cause is not logical to think it ever started. Probably was no start

It's time is infinite, it also didn't have a beginning, so you don't need a god to get things going because things were always going now. You say to yourself: I dont know if that makes any sense at all right does that it does not kind. It makes sense that things can just always beer right. That's the point here: human brain doesn't have a chance of understanding, infinity. Not a chance. Your brain doesn't have. The capability is like your brain can move along this just to brave young unless it tells you Bobby to get a lot more, but your brain doesn't have the capability to understand infinity.

stuff like that. So when you say well, logically, there had to be a start, nope nope. Logically, the most likely explanation is that there is something that happens or happened or happening there. You don't understand, that's it. Just some! You don't understand collaborators and built to do that, but now does not make sense that there had to be a beginning. Might about doesn't have to be Bite and is continuing to blame Trump foresaw of his bed first year performance, and I feel like that was a pretty good play at one point right when Biden first took over pretty good play to blame the Previous president, how long can you play that play I, how many more

Can you get away? Was I well? It's really just what was left by the last guy I'd say Time has passed right, so he says two years. I feel our attention spanish just trunk too much, and that at this point you have six months is a really long time, in our lives, but I have a feeling that Biden blaming Trump for any of the stuff, like that, the Haitian Haitians, under a bridge that would have happened with job it feels like there's just a whole bunch of problems that are specifically Biden related to the afghan Afghanistan. Pull out could have been better, etc. How in the world do, let's try for that stuff. What he's doing it? I feel as if it sounds a little bit ridiculous at this point, does it. because it feels like is just a defence by memory or something like by

just say yeah last time I said it was the previous guys just keep saying that it doesn't work for ever and I would argue that it stop working already. I feel like it just makes them look bad at this point in the beginning was reasonable claimed. But at this point to many months have gone by just looks bad. well as the as predicted. The Arizona order has produced two entirely different narratives one. Nothing was found to Colombia. Stuff was found. A kid both be true, Either the Arizona on it didn't find enough to matter or if found so much, they have to throw out the whole election and those stories are in the news today. Just one is left associated, one is right decision, so what do you make of that was re point having on it? If we're just gonna decide,

yeah I did collar and by the way, was that the easiest protection in the world was there but he thought they all. It would give under result that everybody would agree with. Did you really think that we don't live in that world anymore? Here comes. The spin was spent. I guess I'm always insulted when people learn your blame. You blame me for spinning. Because what is spending other than appointed? What's the difference between spinning and having a point of view, is there a difference? Now is just a fucking word: they use because you're, an ignorant, fucking troll and you had nothing to the world. Also sphere- will see a spin thanks for nothin, see your opinion

our colleague spin well, both politico slate, ran feature article about me specifically my association with his Weird Matt Gaetz story, and my part of that. My part of the story is is trivial, but because I guess I'm the Dilber guy, it became a major article, but here's the part that I was involved in somebody I now from twitter. Associations primarily sent me a scoop on the magazine, Jake, no back and and then they got into the newspaper so but the part of what makes people curious is why why anybody would have told me that scoop? Does that make you curious

are you curious as to why somebody would give me those scoop before I had the news? What do you think. does that does seem unusual. One of you said your bike. Curious. Ok, all accept them, except by curious. In the context of this conversation. The others there wasn't anything there wasn't anything even slightly unusual about that. The most common thing that happens for those of us doing this political commenting is that other people who do political commenting tell US telescopes before you here

How many times have I told you that I hear stuff before you hear it? It does not come from Jane. Novak comes from everybody, the most common thing that we newsy talking people do its share scoops before easier than the news is. I wanted the most common things, but when you see just one of em your plucked out of the contacts you like he was calling on here, maybe we need to dig deeper now now. This is the most normal thing that happens to people. In our circle, Sheridan Chairing scoops. So, anyway, that's the soldiers to them still no by an apology for throwing his own border patrol under brass under brush and robust and your boss.

You know the story. The allegedly there was a border patrol person on a horse, allegedly used a whip haitian immigrant, but in fact it was the reins he used to. horse. He wasn't with anybody except he was using the reins. The weather meant to be used on a and Now that everybody knows it's a fake news, I don't think there's any anybody on the Democrats. I do still thinks it's true right, I think, is so thoroughly debunked by the photographer, who took the picture and one under so the people or their there's no person who was there in person who says it happened. So we know it didn't happen. Whereas buyers apology, you know, as the creator of the Dilber Comic Strip. Let me tell you the main theme for all these

here's the Delbert Comic Strip, there's one theme easy over and over and over again and over, and that is that the boss has the power to create the problem and then assigned the blame to an employee is the biggest problem in work that the boss causes the problem and then signs it to you. That was, I guess you failed. Now I didn't fail, you been impossible, bike, because why you didn't write the most common problem and by those doing that by didn't created the problem by imagining it literally imagining it and that he says this, guy's gonna be punished, probably ruins as border patrol guys life, because people are going to believe that he whipped black people. Great try livin with that didn't happen. So.

I did a robust renews comic, but it made me think of the best strategy for the border patrol agent. Here is what the border patrol agents should. Do you ready for this? This is real advice. I sound like a joke and it is a joke, but is also a real advice It goes like this that border agents working with the lawyer from perhaps should issue a press release. the press release should say that he takes a forest. Possibility for using an imaginary whip on an immigrant takes, Full responsibility for using it.

I whip, use those words. Yes, I was the man who use the imaginary whip and then, once you ve once you have taken full responsibility for it, offer in the interest of freedom and the interests of fairness offered to have a haitian immigrant with him. In return with the same whip, Lastly, you'd be the same with the imaginary one and so actually stage put it on video. This guy tied to a tree, tie himself dilatory and have have a haitian get actual Haitian, I'm sure you find it actually asian to do it right. You pay a him. To stay. There was nothing in his hand and pretend to weapon on video. and just say. I hope that this makes everything even I take floor, was bully for my imaginary whip with it, and I

I an imaginary whipped en route in return, and I think we're all fair now now we're all gonna right now. This sounds like a joke. If not, I would actually literally do that Because this poor border patrol agent, just scuff, fought by the President of the United States, let me say it again because swear words are necessary for the story. This border patrol agent tried to do his job trying to, Keep the United States safe, just Gov, fought by the commander in chief in the commander in chief, knows it by now, and he isn't apologizing and so this border patrol age- and I hope, takes the opportunity he has two Falk Joe Biden Back- make him a laughing stock, make him a fucking joke, Alessi apologizes, an apology. I think

Should be accepted in this case, because it is an honest mistake, I don't think that Biden meant to misunderstand the situation. thus the stake, if he gives them an apology, I think you should accept it, but if he doesn't apologize, this border patrol Asian should take. The opportunity has been given to just fuck by badly just embarrassing shit out of public because he can't it's is right there for the day, I asked newest station event now he proudly doesn't was, of course the border region probably doesn't want to be famous for this. So maybe maybe that's bad idea is better just lay low as a joke, Pollack noted, Tweet Wall Street Journal has an article about turns out that by saying that China is an adversary, blah blah blah make things in America,

there is. Was its secretary of Commerce is here? The commerce chief is trying to make more business with China, so violent commerce chief believes that the United States is best off by increasing the amount of business we do, which I know increasing. Oh my god, maggots just waited Abbe. Somebody says in the comments or take a look at them.

Yeah. So what are we supposed to make of the fact that Biden says yeah we're going to make stuff in America bubble up, but is commerce chief seems to be doing the opposite? Well, let's, let's agree that our government is probably corrupt in terms of China and certainly incompetent we're watching it right before. since this is just a ranking competence, and so in those situations the public has to take take charge. Now There are very few things that I am perfectly suited for, for example, if you said Scott You sit in with US band and play drums cuz. I know you're you're learning the drums and I was saying you know I'm really bad at that. You really don't want me to try, if you set three Scott I'd like

to say a place centre for our basque multi. I'd say to you not your best choice of personnel. I might not be your first choice to play centre in the possible, but if you need somebody to embarrass the living shit out of some american Corporation, that would dare to start new business in China. Now call me Call me right pick. Somebody else to be here centre on your basque multi pick somebody else to be the general contractor on your house. pick somebody else to be your lawyer in your doctor. I can't do that stuff

but if there is an american company there was to do new business in China, not talk about the ones that are already there. They ve got a different set of problems, but a new company. Just let me know let me now. I will take care of that for you. I will personally make sure that that's a bad idea for whatever company announces that wasn't do business in China. So let me do that you let me do for you. I will handle this worry its promise. You following the three windows from pronouncing rights. Thereat knows case. This was the founder who basing losers of fraudulent company, and they said they would do these cheap blood tests. fine all kinds of things easily and Berlioz all fraud. But yours you There's legal case going on now about that bears what is interesting, Jane

matters invested. Eighty five thousand dollars in this company was on the board James MAD dog matters. Now correct me. If I'm wrong correct me, if I'm wrong, but didn't Trumbo fire James Madness for being stupid. That happened right I mean just wasn't that give you gimme effect check, Wasn't didn't trump say out loud that matters was dumb. You dead right. So matters the guy there. We trusted to make our most important military decisions invested in the biggest fraudulent companies of last twenty years. I don't think I have a lot of confidence,

Generally feels like the kind of guy who might be duped into a trap. Kind of easily is like. Now, to be fair, Rupert Murdoch also was one of the largest investors say, say: well, if Rupert Murdoch fooled, you know he's more experience. Investor you yo, you should be too surprised if somebody was a general and not really. An investor should be to surprises. If a general is fooled, if a big investor like Rupert Murdoch, he give fooled. Do you think Rupert Murdoch kicked the tyres that this company himself, you think Rupert Murdoch you have as they met with the founder.

Did a deep dive into the financials? No, no, I'm pretty sure they're Rupert Murdoch as people who do startup investments for him probably mentioned the name at a meeting. A were put a little money into this. Wouldn't that wouldn't allow and probably heard the man might have maybe maybe knew what the company did for a living, but I dont think you There were murdered dead for a small investor like that currently also David boys. The attorney you here and allow stories also invested. So I love saying stories of smart people. Investing in fraudulent companies now have I ever invested in a fraudulent company year ever. Have I ever put.

Have I ever put way more than eighty five thousand dollars and to accompany the turned out to be a total fraud. Yeah yeah I've been that do member web that there was a cover, those gonna deliver groceries to your house and the the the managers. saying that the Malo was proven and yet was already worked in one area and there are things were going great. At the same time, there are planted close company, so I got taken on that. One. But it's fun to make fun of other people get taken, but to be honest, it can happen. Davis. There is an article in CNN that I find amusing.

It says that voters, suppression doesn't work basically because it suppresses white votes. So if what you wanted to do was to suppress black votes, you accidentally in the process of attempting to suppress the blackfoot, you end up actually depressing. The waiver two different ways: number one why nobody ever brought this up before you. Now that there are more poor white people that black people right as a percentage. There are more poor black people them poor white people, but in terms of absolute numbers, Am I wrong? That's our away more poor. Why people, and why is it that the poor white people we imagine, can go out and get an idea, no problem, but the poor black people get,

How racist are you to imagine that a poor person have one color, can just go out and get an idea and the poor person of another color can't do it. figured out, while I'm here, to tell you that that probably has more to do with being poor and where you live, then what color you are. I don't think there's any indication that your color determines whether you can get an idea. Anybody claim that Anybody not sure socio economic situation that determines whether it be hard of hearing in lighting right. Everybody agrees with that right, so lodge

clearly want or be way more white people who care vote. If you do anything to reduce the amount of voting shouldn't, you have your wife votes than than black. Now has a percentage as a percentage, maybe more black, but we know elections are not based on percentages based on, haven't voting it. Well, I mean ultimate waste percentage against the competitor, but you need to get the most votes, so wouldn't it be better to use every white vo you could, even if it cost you a few black votes, you couldn't suppressed. If you tried so we Lee Sea, and that is taking both sides of the issue there saying don't do any voters suppression, because it would be bad for black people and by the way, it's not bad for black people nearly as much as is bad for white people cannot have it both ways

right, if sea of others, reporting least reporting in the sense of an opinion. Peace in this case the voters, suppression doesn't work and it just makes Republicans worse off I think that's the other part of it is that if you talk about the system being broken, if it also causes less republican voting, I don't I'm not sure. I believe that, but people are saying that, so I guess I'm confused about whether voters surprise. is good or bad for black people, and it looks like CNN's not quite on one page about it. It's either terrible for black people or it helps them who helps them, because you were white people vote, which means that the percentage of black people would be relatively better. No way am I doing the math right, but it just seems to me that we don't even know if it's good or bad

yeah we talked about like crazy. Well, the Taliban is bring back public hangings and they're going to do amputations again. So if you steal something, they'll cut off your hand, there are still not deciding whether they do the amputations in public is because the Taliban are not. Old Taliban, you know the old ones that are really cruel. how do you amputate right in public, but I think that maybe considering doing them not in public, so. We are still doing the hangings and public they just at a budget hangings. They killed some kidnappers and hung them from cranes and various cities. As a lesson gather study to hang people in public their stolen. Let me give you some advice that will serve you better in your life than anything you ve ever heard in your whole life. It goes like this. Never trust what,

people say Taliban Sunday, we're not the old, tell them where the new television we're not gonna. Do these horrible horrible things were kinder gentler, never trust what anybody says, not just the Taliban. Here's the part that near you probably said yourself Scot. I wasn't trust in the Taliban you're, not adding anything. No, I'm saying don't trust the Taliban Don't trust the word anyway, but also don't trust somebody else. You know at work and dont trust your best friend or your spouse. Dont trust, any of your friends or any of your family leave anybody out. Don't trust the word the humans humans, don't trust any other words. That's the first part of the advice. There's a second part. There were redeem me.

You said yourself Scot: I can't really live in a world where I don't trust anybody cuz, I'm required to trust people, no dont trust. What people say: here's what you can trust here's the pay off. Here's a reason you watch me on live stream. This Change your life. This little refrain pay attention carefully, never trust what anybody says, always trust the people will be the same as they have been. Stiffened, never trust what anybody says: friends were enemies, friends or enemies. Don't trust him. You always trust that they are the same people that they were yesterday. That's that's it! If that, let me take an example. If I were to ask

weather of my siblings, to do something like the autumn, hold some money or something, and then I would have to completely trust them because I wouldn't know if they still living. I wouldn't care what they said about it. I wouldn't even matter what I would trust this at my siblings are the same people they've. Always been, which means they're not going to steal my money cuz, they never have never. Will there is the same people. The Taliban said they're going to do something different than what they used to do, but is still. The Taliban. Now is a little different, because maybe the members of the Taliban of changed little bit by feel, like the principle still stands. Still the Taliban, at least in the short run, is still there. So watch how many times this rule works. You can ab. we trust somebody had to be the same way. They used to be

If there were a liar yesterday, there a liar tomorrow. if they are honest yesterday and always were tomorrow's looking good too. Ignore what they say. You're the only the only thing you can know with any kind of certainty is that it's the same person that was yesterday. That's it don't trust anything else that this works. For you the first time you here at your thinking to yourself. Let me see if I can guess what you're thinking, I'm not that such a difference right, you're thinking, I see what you say but feels like the same thing. Just the person Joseph they say it's, not it's not when you start you start making that distinction life gets alike cleaner and on some well. You're surprises. Go away, suddenly, no surprises, never this prize to get.

I think that is what I want to talk about it. I heard someone say that met gates, tweeted Abbe will see if that's true or what that's about so you can watch this in real time. See where would that be tweets, slicker meant we'll go to make gates's page will find it easier to do right.

to do outside the gas, not as a magazine just dumping on Jack, no back for a tweet, the Jake made, and you just you just mentioned me as being part of the story, so wasn't so much at me. I was just included. So I've told you before I try to mind my own business and then I end up being in the middle of stories some day some day I'll, tell you what stories I've actually been involved in that might have to wait for some people to die before I can do that.

but there are love story. Is that you have no idea? I had some involvement in mostly. I can't tell you about them, but Sunday when enough time goes by a bill. To tell a story is add, scooby, mind boggling, your believe, any of it. That's all for now, and I will talk to you tomorrow,.
