Greed by a larger number, but fifty three percent of guys don't want Hillary Clinton. Ok, but is it worse? Yes, it's worse than that,. see it reports and by far this is What's entertaining part of the news, it wouldn't notice it Lisha, dug in a little bit to get really funny part, but this is seen as reporting. they have their own pole in which, say the biggest ships are that democratic independence stopped believing in the credibility of our elections Let me say that again, you probably seller did you think I miss spoke.
The since twenty twenty one there's been a big shift in the public's belief about the credibility of the election. The shift is the Democrats when, from largely believing elections, were credible to not Two Democrats did you think I set a wrong again? Did you think I said rippling you did you think I meant republicans when you said that Now let me say it again clearly, democrats, given the numbers. in early twenty twenty one. This is cnn reporting remember this is important. This cnn in early twenty twenty one. Ninety percent of Democrats There are at least some more confident that elections reflected the will of the people, What in one year they went from ninety percent. Democrats saying that they, the elections, were valid.
You think that is now forever Democrats did you think I'd misspoke said when it met republic has now I'm only talking democrats only, that's one from ninety percent thinking they trusted the election to currently fifty seven percent. Fifty seven percent democrats in one year. Democrats, one from ninety percent, trusting their own election to fifty seven percent and they want they won the election Did I mentioned that they want and they were from? Ninety, I already know what to say about this. What do you think I have a hypothesis?
Those like this, the january six hearings are making democrats trust elections less I'll. Tell you why it's a hypnosis theory and they had not thought this through They did not think it through. Let me give you an example, you ve heard this example before don't think of an elephant right now, don't do it don't do it don't think of an elephant? Do not I give a giant background was big ears. Trunk That's my elephant impression dont, do it. How do you do, Then you succeeded not thinking about that elephant. Ok, so the first with the first, role of hypnosis is, you cannot think about things. If it's in your face, you thinkin about you, get on think things. So that's the first rule sinkings automatic
Second, rule is european If what matters is what you hear about the most? Not because it matters most, What you think matters most is just what you hear about. I keep hearing about other mismanagement, What did the january six hearings do? Well, the logical pointed them was to make a logical case that republicans or bad people that there was a political show trial still is, but that's a concept. Do people remember concepts I mean, if you gave him a test on later, they might get the right answer, but they really remember how you make him feel. and so this is what the january six event has done. Those elections were not rig, we're not rigged, elections were not stolen.
All those many many many claims of evidence of elections are not real. Two thousand mules didn't go to those drop boxes. All you he'll. All you here is that the elections are sketchy. No matter how many times they tell you that the republic is wrong or lying about the elections, what you here is: why are we about elections being sketchy We're still talking about elections being sketchy right. Walk up today is a new day and democrats are still talking about elections being sketchy. the concept is: are blaming other people, but it feels like all there. ok about is elections being unreliable. there's the pay off. I've been to republic in opinion about them.
Liability of the twenty twenty election or elections in general, I think it's elections and general republican confidence in the elections went up in the same period. Republican confidence in the elections went up in the same period. It went from a low rate, was twenty three percent were confident after the trump experience in twenty twenty, but is up to twenty nine percent, so republicans have watched the same news and via a smaller margin, but they have come to be convinced. Ok, maybe we're in better shape than I thought. Because a news showed the republicans that no courts have found anything in time This by and all these crazy crack and claims that comes
some number republicans just said I, you know I had my questions, but maybe it will release on that for now so. am I am I wrong that that's the best hypothesis for what's happening, because I don't what else would be happening If cnn is nonstop, MSNBC nonstop telling their base that the elections are fine. How do you explain it How do you explain a gigantic drop and confidence of the Democrats when their own side, just Tell him everything is fine. It's gotta be the hypnotist thing right. It's gotta be just that the topic itself is poison because you can't talk about. much fraud all day long and then up then than people things there is none. So the entire thing is about look at all this smoke. Oh look
smoke, there's no fire there. Oh look at this other smoke. Well, it's very smoky is very smoking, but the time we looked for the source of the smoke is not there. But did I tell ya smokey this well, there's another mother smoke. Others are more smoke but so far all the smoke we found is another. Boy there's a lot of smoke. My selling my point I dont know: This was going on, but it looks like they sold the opposite of what they were selling right. At least at least you have to throw my hypothesis into the mix at the very least hi possibility that this work just the way it should have worked. If you ask me what would be the likely outcome of this, we somehow you could describe it to be before happened. I would have said whoa. I don't know if you want to spend so much time. Talking about the thing you said didn't happen,
What why does russia collusion persist? Russia, Lucian persists in the minds of democrats, not because they followed the followed the case and found them. It wasn't true. They still believe because they heard of so many times this up If you say russia collusion enough times it doesn't matter. If the outcome was there wasn't on, it matters. I heard a lot so I would really different, though the democratic Basically, I heard it allowed machine. you say the same thing over and over again and ages here, right, so the with the allegations of the election rigging are that the people making the allegations were the republicans. if the situation was Allegations were being made by the Democrats than giving attend.
into the allegations, even if their false is a good play, because you just giving attention to thing, you want to give attention to, they made a big take by giving attention to a republican claim, so you can't talk about it. False without talking about it, they claim the election is rigged, they claim the election is rigged, they claimed the election is rick. I think I think they convinced their own base that the election was rigged. He asked directly from my book right. I mean what I'm saying that was from my book of the same topic. It's not like I made it up now to you know, fit the facts to it or something. I've been saying this for long It's a well understood concept, not nothing new here. I love citizens the way they they gaslight with words. so they ve been saying that republicans clay Twenty twenty was rigged
and then they use this phrase. Despite the lack of evidence. Do you think that's a true statement. That that their claim is the election, people are saying the election of two thousand and twenty was rig quote despite the lack of evidence. Well, it turns out turns out that the word evidence can be used in two ways. I had to check just in short, one way is the evidence is used sort of intervention. jubilee with proof, as one definition. In that case, the evidence is not really evidence. Like is not actual evidence. A lesson actually supports the truth. So by that definition it wouldn't be evident sufficient. Misleading, so misleading evidence wouldn't be evidence, will just be somebody misleading by that definition, so they
use, evidence and proof, sort of interchangeably and the english language allows them to do that. do you know what else the english language allows you to do. It allows you to treat the word evidence as not being proof So the word could go either way. Evidence can mean proof or lack of proof when they say no evidence, or it can mean the opposite and they and since the public can't tell the difference they can Aware of that, but they ve they stretch there somewhere. If stretching the two, despite the lack of evidence, therefore? They get away with those of the grey area of the word evidence, but then they go all the way to this. Despite that trump continues to push. The quote: falsehood that the election was stolen, he's pushing the falsehood.
Falsehood, how do you know something false because you proved it? That's not a thing Oh you know, is you don't have proof? That is true. There's no proof there's this false! So I see now labels as a falsehood. That's just the lie. This is the line is a lie. There could be true because nobody knows is a widow, an knowledgeable, fully audible system, but. It's like they. They do. There's little word tricksters to move you from. A grey area, word evidence they could, taken either way all the way. The falsehood. The care be taken away. You see that the verbal trickery where they can get you from a maybe word to a definite word, making, not notice. The difference is very clever.
Here is a question that also might get to why the Democrats are maybe having little differences of agreement about january six, and let me let me put this after democrats, don't like republicans with me so far generally smee democrats are not lovers of republicans in sort of a general way Lots of exceptions- and wouldn't you say the Democrats are always looking for the worst spin to put on whatever republicans and vice versa. Republicans are looking at the worst spin to put the demo. Isn't that started our general situation? But let me ask you this: They thought any Democrats who were under the impression that any republicans are not pages.
you think. Even even if the Democrats don't like republicans, do you think that they believe those are not patriots? I don't think so. I think that they think that republicans are dumb. They think republicans are anti science. They think republicans are. You know immoral for various reasons, whether that's all true, but I think that anybody like even want even one disease there's even one democratic anywhere. Who believes that republicans are not patriots, meaning that their country first, I don't think so. I think they now you, you see rhetoric. This says that they don't think that's just twitter rhetoric greatness is trolls. The average democrat. Does believes that the average republican cares about the constitution. even more than self, sometimes.
So how does the average democrat explain all of these patriots marching on January six, it's hard to explain to yourself hasn't because, no matter what they think about these people, you have to go pretty far into crazy land. To imagine that they're, not patriots, at least in terms in terms of their internal thinking, they can be wrong. They can be patriots, have bad information. They can be patriots within within the group, some of them. Criminal, that's all possible, but I don't think there's any Democrat who really believes like in a private moment. Do you think there's any Democrat like a serious person, not not a troll but a serious person who thinks that the the republicans are not patriots at at the base know. Somebody said bill Maher, believes that
Now you think he does about not only said but about if you talk to him privately, you said I Well, do you seriously think the republicans in general are not really patriot. Oriented like protect the congress, protect not congress protect the constitution, I think they think that so I think there's something that bugging democrats, this unspoken. And I think that was something cause. They know they're being gas lighted, but they don't know exactly what's going on. I feel like Democrats have to have some suspicion that the most basic thing about republicans that they're patriots first seems to be the opposite of what the january six the hearings are trying to present and I dont know how they can notice that,
You could notice a lot of things, but you couldn't notice that now I didn't. I didn't ask my quote re democrat friend, who I often mentioned. I did not, and I did not ask him that question because it didn't occur, until recently, because I you know, one of the things I wanted to do was excuse me. I wanted to make a list of things you would have to believe in order to agree with your own team and it could work for both Democrats and river, Look it's so one of the things you have to believe to believe the january six situation, as you would have to believe there are elections, are both transparent, fully honourable and that we can do is somewhat instantly. Am I right you'd have to believe that otherwise, asking for more information about the audit would make perfect sense. It would look like any kind of a crime
unless you thought it had already been done or could easily be done our best. But here's another. In order for you to believe the january six narrative as a Democrat, you would have to believe that republicans, early fake patriots, that's only pretending to be patriots, but what they really want is their dictator in power. That you'd have to believe. in order to believe any of the narrative, because what I believe is its there's another, public alive would have let trump to stay in office if he had lost. That's what I believe now as an exaggeration, there will always be some lawyer or something who says: yes, they there there'll always be somebody, but the celebrate back that up to less of an absolute because it just makes people crazy. When I talk in absolutes and probably should try to avoid it. Yeah yeah, I just liked democratic pro.
What will are noticing that there's something fishy about the january. Six So unless something changes, your future looks like this trump Wednesday election and the Democrats throw away everything they believed it or they say they believe right now, and they say these elections we'd better fix these because they don't look or religion. apple. Now now, of course, what they're going to say is that the vote was suppressed and I'm sure that'll be thing. Finally, waking up, maybe a little bit Am I wrong that all the news looks good, so stock market was up yesterday? I think the futures were down, so it's probably down today the market down. Let's take a look.
Market down, then it's almost flat. Some up, some doubt kind of flat. Some happened was tussle, cartoonists, says Biden, getting covered is good news as more like the nothing news, Scott? Are you buying crypto? No, no, no, I'm, not a crypto investor, I'm a crypto, diversify or slight difference.
You could argue that not different, but I would never invest in a crypto. I would only hold some of the big ones just in case you know little bit in your portfolio just in case you never know in case civilization falls apart and you just got have the bitcoin for something your dad grew up with Biden never heard of the oil on the winch had Biden's hair sniffing. Finally, caught up with, he got oh it you call coma from a little girl's, hair test and evaluation way off the mark and what that means. We have to look at your stock everyday than you shouldn't. Have it that's a good rule, by rule, as I look at my stocks every day the market is up and every day the market is down. I don't look in
because looking at it is only made to make you feel good or bad doesn't have an investment purpose that which business support the point at issue by of an old them, So when I look at it, it's just purely for psychological gain. So when they're up, I look at them when they're down, I don't look at him. That's my advice. Yeah, look at it for the entertainment value. Exactly that's perfectly good. Oh bill gates, shorting tesla, so bill gates, shorted tesla. What so? What does that tell me anything? Aren't there a lot of people? Shorting tesla, I think that's a is that that's not like a
obscure position, they sat a familiar battle. A u s open, confirms novak, can't play unless he's vaccinated seriously. Really I will pass that, but it looks like it looks like a com is coming back room. you wonder if by this could be taken out, because the covered Let me ask you this: if, if bided guess long covered, but would tell me what it is, if, if abide guess long covert, he's not gonna be cable, At what point does couple hers have to take over now?
you have my head if he has not had covered or united bad case like I did. you don't know how bad this is. I gather a man from anybody who had covered and says I wouldn't want to be. President will issue in my hand. I haven't how many of you think you could have made presidential decisions under cold. I got my decision. Making was absolutely degraded, absolutely degraded, and let me ask you this. Are you comfortable? They had already been removed? I don't wanna. Symptoms are, but you so fragile. The. over the long term. Covert alone should activate the vice president. Am I right, covered alone should activate devices, and let me double down.
Nope, alright, I'm gonna go where you don't want me to go. If this were trump same thing, if trump gets covered in office and he had it right, but if come if trump gets it again at whatever his you know future ages, but he did, but he was a little bit younger but if trump guess at his new age in office, let's say election plus two years, what what would trump be in four years will say: for years. Trump would be eighty two eighty to to them ass. For me, I will do a chumby in four years. We have been told me how this drop. You be eighty in four years. Your baby? Do you think that an eighty year old president should stay?
in office when they have covered? I don't. and I'm sixty five and there's no way I could have made good decisions. While I go with no way. You take it, you take me a eighty and give me cut you. Can the same code that I had at sixty five and eighty. You did not want me making any decisions. Trust me and I feel, like I'm pretty mentally sound and you would not want me making decisions. Under those conditions, so I think we need to trigger the vice president right away. If it's true that he has coven now I get it that the doctor's going to look at it and if there's no symptoms or no symptoms, maybe Maybe, but if there are symptoms that brain fog, stuff is really bad stuff, you know what that. So, I think we need to train the vice muslim broadway.
Just just for the risk of it cause. The thing is, I don't know if Biden would tell you he had brain fog. Would he do you have brain fog? Oh no. I don't have any brain fog. Would he know yeah? What do you know? I dunno? I'm not see. That's the thing, I'm not sure that people know how much their brain is degraded. Here's a study, I'd love to see, since we know the brain fog is a thing I mean that's pretty well established, Could you do a test of iq people who are in covert experiencing it like not even long ago just enter and the test of I q for somebody not infected ever and you do enough of the tests to get an average about the. The difference about you will find that the iq of a person with with covered is lower about you. It
temporarily, because it takes your energy way and have you ever tried to take a test when you're tired, it's a big difference So there is no way that the people with governor operating at the same mental capacity capacities but without people have never have no way. I mean I'd be lucky. If I go back to where I was and by the way I dont know, if I have. Well, I was telling you earlier that I was rereading my writing from two thousand and four and if you, if you asked me before yesterday, Scott did the covert and the long covert that gave you the brain fog. Do you think there's a permanent? You know thing that happened with that I'd say no, no. I feel fine. In fact, if you ask me, I feel like at the
top of my mental acuity right now, no no problem at all, and then I read my own writing for two thousand and four modified my opinion a little bit. I dunno. If you know where I'm going on this, but in two hundred two thousand and four I could write a fucking sentence. Let me tell you I could write a good flacket sentence, I'm not so sure they would be just as good today, even though it you'll like I'm allowed represent, but what I read my my younger writing. I looked out and said shit. I don't know if I can do that alone. Maybe I can do better. I don't know But I got a real was a wake up call. I saw how tight my writing was from fifteen years ago. if I write a book today which I'm doing which hopefully will be a gigantic bestseller
But I got my questions. I got my questions, whether I'm just a sharp here's. What I think is happening I think I'm less sharp, but I have more skills in my stack. I think I come out ahead, but I think you would notice the difference. That's why I think I definitely have more skills in my overall skills that so that might come through my writing and give me an advantage, but definitely the quickness is diminished. Definitely Damn that pass a new protocol to make it easier to remove a present leslie investors, what that on recovery and fantasy tests. Tesla definitely has some fantasy elements, but let me give you
the counter argument for tesla. I heard this from Adam townsend, who is a great follow on twitter by the way Adam townsend you should follow. and this is why I actually bought stock in tests, which is unusual for me, I wouldn't normally by an individual company. I normally diversely, but Just because teslas power company- it's not a car company, if you bought it as a car company you look at all the other electric cars and you say: Lou less competition and that doesn't look good But if you see it as an energy company, because the world is going need a whole bunch of batteries as older If you see it as an energy company, all different feeling about it, and that completely refrained my opinion, The cars might be irrelevant and lohmann I mean
your member was a ebay. Ebay started out selling pass dispensers. I think that Tesla automobile might be the pez dispenser for tesla. It's it's just a total fake era of where the company is going. I think cars are the the temporary product that the big the big product is energy and and maybe a I ai and energy. Logistics that sort of thing, probably yeah amazon, started out with books right exactly perfect example They tesla just starting with cars. I don't think it's a car company in the long run.
The pez dispenser was a made up pr story. Yeah! Ok, you got me. The the pez dispensers story about Ebay is a is sort of made up origin story, but it was close enough to my point but you're right. I take that fact check. I accept your factcheck, but it doesn't change the basic point. You don't care for the look so the new truck well, a lot of a lot of people ordered it. Alright, alright, that's all for now. Israeli thing I missed is a topic that you wish. You had my opinion on. I dunno why.
Dealt I airlines started as a crop. Dusty service, I believe, is the golden ages with us. Now I'm not a gamer somebody ask if I'm a gamer and not, and it's only because it's too addictive I'll, tell you my gamer story to save her at once, given at the, dawn of video gaming when I think Sony solely had the best council for a while, I may have the name of it was only. and I was a young man- computers were taken off, I said I've got to have one of those video games where I can shoot shoot aliens outer space inside
at this thing is really hard to get. I forget which one it was and maybe a sega I dunno can't remember, but I got the system and I brought her home. I forget which one. And I played it for about eight hours straight. When I was done, I felt terrible terrible. like I lost eight hours of my life and all I can think of was getting back to do it again and nothing had been better. I wasn't smarter, stronger More successful I just lost eight hours, they said and I felt all nervous, Not only did I lose eight hours, it wasn't fun. anxious making, because I had to shew more aliens more aliens aliens aliens and so after after months of trying to get to think it was hard to get for somebody.
I know some kind of shortage. I finally got one. I pack that thing up took it back to the store for a full refund and said I never want to be close to one of these again and I haven't so. I've avoided gaming in all it's forms because it was too dangerous and never by that. By that time I was, I was trained hypnotist as a trade? Hypnotist? You? U sample that shit! You run away. this disobey, interesting experiment, I'll, give you a hypothesis my, father, says, is a trained Heaven. Just don't play video games tests that go go do test on that, just a plain trained him.
just an hour ago further somebody who, as a phd in psychology, they don't play video games I'll betcha, I'll betcha people with a phd in psychology do not play video games. I'll bet you, medical doctors leave, it will say young ones even going through better. Probably do some of them bottle that not nearly as much as the average person not nearly as much and there's a reason. If you have any exposure to that world, the world of psychology and mental health exposure to allow, as such as you spend a little time playing video games. You know this is the shits dangerous runaway it's good for surgery, skills somebody says, maybe so yeah, so that was my dick. It was too addictive, now
How do I explained not running away from twitter? I know my rationalization for that Have I rationalize spending so much time on twitter because I know it's addictive. Yeah, I rationalize as a business tool at the same time, on rationalizing I'm so aware that a rationalization, solar now is also true. Like it's true, It is a business to all of this sort of essential for what I'm doing here. It would be tough to do without it, but. also is because I love it, I don't I don't ever time scheduled for the Russell brand conversation. I see some people asking over. I believe he is filming which, by the way,.
I wish some day I could say that Russell brands producer said the will get back to me with scheduling, because rustlers off. Sell me. I want to use that as my excuse someday. Oh, oh I'd love to do that, but I'll be filming that weak. Does it those on better than anything you do? Does your working now he's not off working he's off film he's filming way better than working. How much time do you spend each day on twitter pretty much Levy and between done so I tried not like sit down and do twitter, but you're always waiting for something. Aren't you you know like you're, walking back and forth or you're. You know you're in between stuff. So it's my inbetween thing, but in between is most of them. They are probably spend more time between things than I do.
on any one thing? So if you It would amass all the actual minutes. Good question I'll give you an estimate as best I can subjectively. If I, if I imagined my day and how many times I check one hour, one hour best guess one hour per day. I might be off that feels like about right, but because it's in thirty second increments, so there's probably one hundred and twenty half minute increments during the day yeah it is, it is a time suck.
It is an addiction but, like I said, I got a rationalization max says: are you dating max? I don't think you're my type, but thanks for asking check your iphone for time spent on twitter, oh yeah, let's, let's do that! It's in the settings screen do that's just time right. I dunno app. I don't want to do tech support, while you're livestreaming here, but I thought it'd be easier to find it a month, but I thought it'd be under screentime. That's where I put it. Where would you put it on your phone? See all activity, all activity, where's that.
Thank you apple for making it once again impossible. To finally give As usual, there are three ways to get to it: there's always five ways to do thing on your phone and four of them do work. Do I like ethnic or spicy food? I thought everybody did. Of course I do have a friend over on Youtube somebody's mad at backs for for getting noticed in the comments and wasting his questions.
Alright battery is always a battery use thing. If I look at my battery use that will tell me what I'm using now and there we go battery use, and where would I see that alright, well I'll figure that out later mop up boom. I'm just looking at your notice of the settings. Scott. Would you date a trans to avoid persecution? I'm not sure I understand the question. Would I date a trans to avoid persecution? I dunno. If that's a a thing, I count your antennas. What.
Your comments are all weird, no screen time and see all activity. I don't have that option if I hit the school. This is like looking for anything on social media. If you try to google how to do anything? You'll always get an answer and it will be wrong. Have you had that experience if you have any technical question, except for how to how to reboot your own It's just about the only one you get the right answer, but anything. That's like a technical question. You'll definitely get an answer and it will be wrong every time. Every ninety percent, as a ninety percent of technical solutions on Google are absolutely wrong
This often all now and I'll talk to you. The name of the prequel to Gaza, breeze called the religion war. I heard earlier that it's so hard to get. It got bid up to sixty dollars on amazon, because it's it's an imprint it'd be hard to find but I gotta tell you it blew me away when I read it, I'm not even sure I could read it without too much of an emotional reaction. That was my plan all right. That's all for now I'll talk to you tomorrow.
