Good morning everybody welcome. To another highlight of civilization, is called coffee was got homes and I don't wanna, get you too excited, but today double whiteboard as right, not just one double sided. It's almost too much they handle, but will we'll do it together? together? We will handle this awesomeness and I think we can climb this mountain, but first we need some for difficult And all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker chelsea side, a canteen, jug or flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid, like coffee, enjoy

for the unparalleled pleasure it's the dopamine the other day. It's the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it's happening now go oh sublime. ooh so good. Alright, we're going to do a little test, a little intelligence test here, let's see if the locals people can beat the people on youtube platform who are watching now, all right. That's a question for all. Of you schemes based on erasmus and bold, And people were if they agreed with this statement,. This was something that trumpet set at one point he said quote: the group of politicized thugs at the top.

the fbi or using the fbi? As Joe Biden is personal gestapo? What percentage of people strongly disagreed with trump strongly disagreed? Whoa whoa you're pretty kurt precluded. The answer is, no, Twenty six was strongly disagree. Six strongly disagree that Joe Biden is using the f b. I, as his personal gestapo. I don't have an opinion. I'm just say less with the numbers are better: the other. if you added together the ones who strongly agree and the ones who agree. You gotta much bigger number. policy who doesn't agree. A majority should see a merger.

Now agree. Fifty three percent with that statement I that I am sorry that wasn't troms quote there was roger stones, quote. So roger stone is on record. As I said, it was drop. It was stone, but the fifty three percent voters now agree that the fbi run by a Joe Biden personally to stop that That means that there are a lot of independence, or at least a smattering of democrats, who are now in the and are now on the side of thinking the f b. I is true, but his personal gestapo Anyway, Is this

did you say who came under a great deal of criticism for their handling of the pandemic, how do you think the cdc is going to respond to all the criticism so they're gonna take action now they're responding to the fact that they, I guess they confessed, they didn't do as good a job as they'd like to do. What do you think they're going to do about What what word dilbert boss do about it? What would they do about it. like literally and dilber comic? What would they do about it. There would reorganise. So it appeared that they had done something. That's exactly what my comic would do, now. Do you remember the the rules?

you learn moscow for tesla, don't do something that could show up and the Dilber comic I've never done a comic about tussle. Just think about that. I've never done comic Anything happened atossa, so apparently they take this issue seriously. The cdc The soon are they're criticized. They decide that the responses to reorganise Thinking to myself, that is exactly my comic. That's exactly like theirs? I wouldn't do that either the sledge up there, sir, oh good job there cdc and making it worse aright. yesterday, based on a smaller suggestion. I decided to grab the domain hoax quiz dot com. Now I own that domain hoax quiz

calm. It seems to me that what we need is some kind of a competitor to slopes and the other factors. And so I started with my list of you- know the the top ten hoaxes which is now up to fourteen people have added to it. So we've got fourteen. What I would consider confirmed. Hoaxes one of them's, not quite confirmed but looks like it will be by here- my problem here? Is my problem now willing to put the hoax quiz up unless I can do conservative hoaxes to your care of that if I say Seth rich, being murdered, Hillary Clinton has a hoax you'll, be ok with that, William. Because, if I don't do it, there's no point in doing it at all is her if I

I have a conservative hoaxes on their there's, no point in doing it at all, it'd be a complete waste of time, but if I were both of them on their. What position does that? Put me in a bullet is puts me above the news. now could I pull that off, probably not probably not guilty pretty tough. But imagine you could create a place where people go look and find out. If the news is promoting a hoax Let's say you actually were convinced that he showed hoaxes on both sides who showed the conservative ones as well as the left, leaning once would that be. you more likely to find a credible before you answer know for sure that I'm gonna tell

tell you things that you believe our true or hoaxes. I can't help it. I can't help it because we have different opinions. so there are going to be things on that list- that you think are real. That I think are a hoax. So you have to be okay with that, can you handle it Say the trouble as this is not the sort of thing you can do right get. Can we agree on that? You can do maybe good enough and good enough would be It's kind of a maybe a guard rail on the fake news of the fake news doesn't get too far out of control, but I wouldn't be it wouldn't be possible for me to be right every time, no matter how how I judge it or who I bring in to help me judge. It is not really possible that I'd be right,

at the time. Should I do it anyway, knowing that I would be wrong on some notable, probably some big examples too. I dunno what that would be, but should I do it if I know I'm going to be wrong. We already have getting push back in the suffrage. Here's what say about Seth rich. There are rumors, there are rumors that this happened, but there's no evidence of it or no proof of it. Something like that. I'd probably say: there's no proof of it. now? Would you be ok with that saturn? I could call that a hoax, I could just say I don't know one way or the other, so I feel like I did another category. I wanted to do hopes or no hawks and keep it simple. I didn't want to do the slightly true slightly, not true thing, but you probably have forced into it. Don't you.

Because it gives me too many grey areas, alright. Well, I have the domain and all maybe the packet that a little bit and see if see if it gained some energy to, by the way. This is a little trip. Navigate motivated zimbabwe. Getting motivated to do something they know they need to do here is a tip I start lots of things that I know would be interesting are good to do and I take the first step. And then sometimes I'll take the next small step, but I am looking for the project to start pulling me. Right so the energy I have on day one I don't know if that's the same energy owed have. If I started going on the broad. sometimes you get excited than it was boring. So you ve got to find a project Where, if you see that you're, just just give it a nudge.

It takes on its own energy and then source Paul you. I don't know this one will pull me, I know I had enough energy to register the domain and I know, I have enough energy to think about. How do I put the question on on the locals platform the same, but we want to help. but I dunno, if I'll yet have enough energy for it to like pull me to completion. So I've got a number of projects right now that are in that state. I've done something a little bit, but I'm see which ones are going to start pulling me right now, my book, I'm writing. I was pushing that until just recently like. I was just work, but more recently it got to the point where the is shaping up nicely and so, as it starts to shape up it brings it's own energy. It's like oh wow. This would be good to finish this book cause. It looks

it's going to be pretty good so now now it's starting to pull me in I wake up this morning and think I hope I have time to write up to spend some time writing, because I can't wait to cant wait to fill it out a little bit. Well, Alex Jones is off the trump train, as people are saying, he's gonna, I guess he wants to centres to be president. You prefer I don't know what Alex Jones will do if dissenters doesn't run what, if the only republican choice is trump will uncle Alex Jones, be back. I dunno yeah, we'll talk about SAM Harrison So her elder rivera made a bold statement on twitter. Now I know a lot of you or serve enter it geraldo rivera

but I'm so pro her, although I'm just totally programme, although which is different from a great with them, can can we make that distinction? I love the fact that he puts himself out there. I love the fact that he doesn't appear to be afraid of anything. He doesn't seem d physically afraid of anything. It doesn't seem to be embarrassment, wise afraid of anything he ate of rubbish. I heard at age seventy or whatever it was. He was my role model yeah yeah geraldo is absolutely my role model and again it has nothing to do with whether I agree or disagree with any opinions his. I guess his approach to life is one. I think you should all emulate. If you could be us as Theo was less a unafraid as he is, your life would look a lot better really would so

Oh, let's try to separate whether we hate his opinion on any particular topic, because I disagree with him on this particular one I'm going to talk about, but I just love the fact. I just love the fact that he expresses himself with no remorse, Here's what he said in twitter elder did. You said Every year politics we should all recognise liz chinese, selfless courage in standing up to tromp tidal, wave. why only republicans are going to end congressional career today. I guess it was yesterday, but They will wash away the role she played standing up for democracy and the constitution. Now I like the fact that he knew he would get absolutely crackdown today, for What opinion, as you still put it out, there still put it out there. I love that he shows his work. It gives us reasons, shows his work

That's all I ask of anybody. If we could learn to appreciate, Somebody who acts the way he does even one disagree that we would so far ahead, so forehead, But here's what I think about list janey I would I by into the the selfless courage part. This is real. Those characterisation. I would, by into it being a selfless actual the country under the following conditions. that's the way she had acted had presented some kind of balance, though she was for example, to less I. into an argument for both sides, and acted in ways that her rhetoric showed. Openness to know what

find out what happened as opposed to a captain ahab mission to kill a white well or an orange? Well, in this case,. At what point did lose jane? You say we don't know the motivation of the protesters, but However, does study just said that the vast majority of them believed that they were saving the republic not overthrow it? Now, if tromp was the primary persuade her of the group and the group had been persuaded that they're trying to save the republic, Isn't that completely different than the way she has presented is so far independent of what evidence specific evidence gets presented if he don't start with the context being right, you're, not an honest

player, so I don't know what was happening in loose chinese head. I try to be consistent about saying I dont know what people are thinking. But we can say for sure that her actions did not display any balance. Who disagree did her Sean's show that she was open to an argument and discovery, or did it look like she had an opinion she was trying to disprove, no matter what. So here I get her all those point there It takes a lot of courage to go across the go against the major, and she had no should pay for it. She had to go. There would be a price right,

so I would get. I would accept the fact that its courage, so I will accept courage, but I'm not so sure, about selfless, because I feel as though her actions strongly suggested that it was a personal. It look, personal, Now again, we can without notice thinking, but if you act in the way that doesn't have balance in a situation that just screams for a balance, Yeah, you should have balance of that situation more than any situation, especially if you're a republican looking at a republican. If you can't have balance in that situation, one has to assume that there's something else going on and- and I do. I would like to revisit this idea. So Edward edward

twitter- this autonomy as based somewhere twitter, it winter there is a reporter such good I have covered, three bosom and violent ideologies around the world. Over my career, never come across a political force. More nihilistic, dangerous and contemptible than today's republicans. Nothing close really. Nihilistic would be people who don't worry follow the rules. Don't want to follow the rules would republicans be agreed. That doesn't want to follow the laws and the constitution of the united states.

There's someone who actually is smart enough to raise sentences and use twitter who believes that the most essential thing about Republicans that their rule followers constitution, bible, the law, the lad, there's nothing that defines republicans more than wanting to follow the rules and making sure other people do as well. Nothing defines a more periods that that's almost baked into the definition of conservative right conservative listed the way we ve been doing, follow the rules, but anyway, this is what this one person's view that that the republicans or opposite of what it looks to me and their dangerous and contemptible, ok now clearly, some republicans or dangerous, as some of every group are

But here is a shocking part: general michael, hidden ex cia director agreed with sweet. And he said I agree, and I was cia, director, so the guy see, I director believes that republicans today are more nihilistic, dangerous and contemptible, then they also around the world, such as Al Qaeda Taliban. Just to pick a couple of examples, I'm not going to disagree with his characterisation possess, not the point, the point, we finally got a direct concession, its direct conversion. They, in his opinion, the republicans are as bad as this. And that would be a complete, a complete explanation.

Why the cia and the fbi apparently colluded for the russia collusion oaks and probably their colluding again. He says directly that he believes that the threat of the republicans was greater than external threats. So if you would be willing to assassinate Al Qaeda. Why would you be willing to do to a greater threat than Al Qaeda? He doesn't say, but I appreciate the transparency you say. Incomplete is basically saying that there would be nothing if you read between the lines is pests that there's nothing you wouldn't do now. Let me say, let me say, there's nothing wrong with that.

And a little bit, I'm gonna agree with sam harris ask and make your had just below up. I agree with general aid that if, in this one narrow I agree if you, if you really believes that this group was, dangerous as as apparently says he. Thus then you break some rules to stop, because you would murder Heller what're you. I would I would break a rule to murder heller So he is basically saying you that the the publicans or worse than al Qaeda worsen, external threats so he doesn't say that he would break a rule to stop them, but I think that's perfectly implied if you're the director of the cia and there's something like a mortal threat to your country I feel like is obliged that you might bender rule to stop it and if you wouldn't what's wrong with you.

Why would you want anybody, wouldn't bend a rule? In that case, I wouldn't want to be around somebody who wouldn't bend the rules in that case, but here's the problem of the fake news is what our main problem and we're being distracted, I'm going to go to the whiteboard and I'm going to tie it all together, ready for this tying it all together you're. So I see the world, I see fake news, crazed extremism and then the f- I encourages the extremists and then not in every case, but in some notable cases, such as russia collusion and then maybe something worthy-

Joe Biden laptop? So basically, every time we see the people in charge who should be protecting us doing sketchy stuff. The extreme is worse, doesn't not so two in the fake news and the fact that we don't trust the people who are supposed to be protecting us? This creates a feedback loop that creates more effect news more money. Etc, so this is the answer to the question: why don't they ask me, would you kill hitler question the question that the media won't ask because they make money. By not asking it is. If you believe the fake news If you believe what the news saying, why wouldn't you murder about republicans, if you believe the news, so? The news care asked the question because, though the problem so

everybody who thinks that the extremists on the left are the problem have been duped by the fake news, Everyone who believes that the extremists on the right are the problem have been duped by the fake news, so general, hidden and we'll talk about sooner or later. Balsam duped at the fake news now I don't think that either of them seemed to quite grok how strong the news is. It's persuasive ability, in other words his ability to make you believe something that absolutely couldn't be true. The news is good. That I believe I I believe yesterday alone, I believed to hoaxes. Until until I got corrected that just yesterday I fell for two years. today, not just one day, and I fell for two hoaxes another were on social media. They were in the regular news

What is so easy to fall for ox any too? If you ever see me marking somebody from falling for a hoax, you should correct me, because you shouldn't marked the person for falling for a hoax, should be mad at the hoaxer, because the reason the hoaxes are satan is that they work. It's not always the fault of the person who believed it we can get better at believing stuff, but is not really the fault of the personal believed. That is more of the person who created jobs. So we have this system in which the people are causing. The problem are telling us that its other people and we're believing. And the tell for that is that they will ask the only question that matters. The only question that matters hated, like if you believe what you're saying about republicans, would you

break all the rules, including an election rule, to stop them from power, and let me say clearly that I would. I would if I believe, the faint news about job. I would break a law to stop him when you. If you believe that now the difference between me and generally than them, sam paris will talk about them, Is there, though, I dont believe what they believe, but if I did, I wouldn't acting the way they would act. I would add pretty aggressively. So they have this weird dichotomy where their actions, in the words are not aligned or at least they're, not willing to admit it. Although I think SAM Harris came pretty close, we'll talk about that in a minute, I had something on the other side of this tie it all together.

So the software sam harrison and will give you my test for rough caused in the distance. What will work up to it. So here's a jeff gives a tweet. He asked me onto it, this question, how would you rank the following forces based on their impact and today's political discord, so which of these things do you think, is causing the most political division media trust, social media algorithms for until operations, perverse political incentives, specific corrupt political, actors polarization effective of the fed federal bureaucracy and economic shifts.

There are all of those have an impact, but the, but the main one is left off the list. The one that's left off the list is not it's not media mistrust. Our problem is not media mistrust or problems, the media It's not that I don't trust them is that they are not trust. The ball is not my fault. What did I do something wrong by not trusting people who lie to me? What? How is that my fault, I feel like I'm doing it right the not trusting people who have a track record of lying to. You feels like that's right. That's right in the sweet spot right there. So is interesting: how blind we can be it was happening. Does I don't mean to make fun of yo Jeff because he's a smart observer. In fact, you should follow these good follow unto her It's just that no matter who you are is so

easy to lose sight that the media is actually just manipulating and hypnotizing us for their own benefit, not yours as justice ways to lose sight of it. Somehow it's the public, as were extremists and. but following the news and we're not doing their own research, it is not our problem, it might be our problem to fix, but it's not. We didn't cause it we're just being people, So, in my opinion, the fake news is what makes us fight and if you next the fake news extremism would disappear. Disappear. Have have you seen lately what the left, who thinks about me personally. Have you seen any my social traffic lately think about the things that people have said about me? Almost? or maybe a hundred percent of it is based on incorrect information

So there were really bad bad feelings about me. But I think the zero of them actually know my opinion. They've heard it from somebody else or heard it from somebody else. So, basically we're all suffering under insanely bad information. it is causing us they hate each other. Where does this Information come from. Well, case a lot of us on social media. But do you think people was social media would be coming after me every day if they did not believe fake news. Explain if they knew what my actual opinions were, they wouldn't have much problem. Early stage, you disagree with an assumption, but they wouldn't think I was the inhaler myself and thus largely true of of all of us. I believe. If you put me in a room with a left us lefty and the right is ready,

Extremists on both sides that I could find out what information we differed on and probably brigham together. The leftist left and the right is right. I believe, like if If nobody else who were in the room- and I was allowed to give them accurate information, I actually think I can get him on the same page, no matter how left and about our right now the now the exception would be, if they're, just being crazy if they have an interest. they're, not indeed cognitive dissonance. If they have an interest, I could do it now. Lab is of some reason, cognitive dissonance, How do they know and how do you know what I'm gonna give you

also sent harrison was on the triggered nominally triggered nava tree pod gas, which is big, big, very good progress, and he said directly that tromp was such a menace and especially the trump university. With such an example of something that was far worse than anything Biden is accused of not only not only worsen. What Biden may have done for sure. but even worse than what by is accused of accused of maybe some bad dealings with ukraine, for example, and ended so Harris's view

media suppressing the hunter laptops story to get Biden elected was legitimate and he agrees that the news facing the news to keep jump out of office literally faking the news it was justified because trump is such a risk. When you think of that Here's the problem, did you just say to yourself damn that SAM Harris that frickin sam harris guys or some wrong with that guy right. Ok, you disagree with all of you Do you know what's wrong with SAM Harris? Nothing, nothing is a victim of the news is a victim of the news. He actually believes the news, or, I believe some subset of the news

got him to this point. So if you think the problems with SAM Harris again you're being diverted the problem is the news: if the news told him the truth,. I'm pretty sure his opinion would be there, so I do. I give him a plus for intellectual honesty. We so basically I'm ok with breaking the rules if you're stopping a mortal threat. I totally agree with I will break a rule all day, long stop somebody from getting killed. Now, of course you know you got a slippery slope if everybody's, if everybody Breaking the rules blah blah blah, but I don't think that counts. If you're talking about killing hitler, nobody thinks that killing hitler is a slippery slope. Do that

if you can kill killer next thing, you know you're gonna be murdering toddlers. Oh no special case. I think we can handle special cases without worrying about the slippery slope every single time. So, the real problem is, is is sam harris experience and cognitive dissonance, or am I, and in this case I'll, be a proxy for many of you in the audience? Am I an EU experiencing cognitive, this about trump and uneasy, maybe like that of the heller that some are afraid of, or is SAM Harrison people would agree with them. Suffer here's your test to find out here's your desk Can you argue the other side? Does it

Can you argue the other side if you can take the other person's perspective and and argue it in a full throated balanced way? Then you probably do not have cognitive dissonance. If you can't do it and you change the subject or used are going off on the person you we do so, if I said you, ok, I'll just use amis might experiment. I I am you ve made a claim that the trump university thing is worse than anything by as done or is even accused of doing take your point of view and I'm going argue it here's my argument trumpeted something with trump university, which shows that cannot be trusted and so but who is? Who would do something so blame should never be president and

Therefore, that gives us cause to doubt anything She ever does because that example gives us a clear pattern of his personality and his priorities. What did I take your point of view and argue it. In a way that shows, I understand the argument. I must say you did to agree with the argument. That's not the point about trying to convince you. I'm just saying. Can I take that argument and argue it did a delay succeed. though I had a problem with the trump university to, but remember what trump promised us. You remember his promise: I'm no age of do for you. What I've been doing for myself, which is maybe break some rules and make stuff work. That's what he said

and when I, when I supported him, I thought wow he's going to be expensive, he's going to break a whole bunch of stuff, but he might do some some things that can't be done otherwise, so I've always characterized trump as being someone who can't new easy things such as staying, trouble, but he can do some impossible things such as the abraham accords and shaking hands with Kim jong moon until that problem. Basically one way, So there's some things I can do that just other people couldn't do and that's what I was buying. I thought that's what I was buying and I thought of the expensive, because I thought there would be some division in the country and I thought of it spencer. So I got what I thought I was buying an imperfect person. A set of skills that were right for the times in some very specific ways.

now. Do you think the same harris could take my argument and and argue it back to me- I don't know, but that would be the test if he could take my argument and presented in in a full throat- then I would say to them: ok, alright! Well, that looks like you've looked at all the facts and maybe our priorities are different, but you know I see where you're coming from, but his current argument that the trump university thing is worse than maybe colluding with ukraine or you know being victim of potentially, blackmail of ukraine or something like that. That's been honest surface. It looks like cognitive dissonance to do this on some sure, but I don't think you can be sure the cognitive dissonance is not in europe, Can you, how do you know read you read by definition, you dont know out.

I would propose this test and see if you can do it see if you can make an argument that agrees with SAM Harris. even though you don't believe it see. If you could make the argument, if he can, if you can then maybe you're looking at it objectively, if you count, there's no chance, you're being objective no chance now, of course, there are some people whose arguments are just so crazy. You can't you can't even make an argument on the other side, but I don't think that's the case with sam. I think sam shows you his work.

And I can reproduce it yeah. The character of this person is such it's been demonstrated by these past things, which we have some confirmation of. Why would you trust such a person in such an important job? It's a very easy argument to make alright. So there is a good test for you see if you can argue the other side, And all this stuff about this big fake enemies. Now here's! I think this is sort of related to this, and so I asked- and I did a little twitter paul, and I said I had predicted that the republicans would be hunted if binding, that elected or predict than twenty twenty, and I asked people if they thought that that protection have been

I realized and eighty percent of the people who answer who are probably mostly right, leaning, said that indeed it appears to them. Republicans are being hunted in a variety of different ways. From january six, on. now she'll bumper, who I believe, rights for washington, post postman. He who wanted to mock me and then there were two tweets and with two separate but related predictions. One was that you'd be hunted, but the related to it in the same thread said that there is a good chance. You be dead in a year, if binding dialectic now the trouble is, with a that, there's a good chance What are you interpret as a good chance of being death? Go if I

but what is a minimum percentage of the chance? The usa fits a good chance, some would say fifty one, some would say ten, some say fifty twenty five. Fifty fifty now remember this is a good chance of being dead. If you talk about the chances of being dead, at present percentage seems like too much does so. In this context, I was thinking more like five or ten percent chance of being dead, two percent somewhere that what did Biden do susie get elected it a little longer than the year, but the So you know we're talking about nuclear war with russia, that was all Biden. I actually got us into a serious conversation about nuclear or with a nuclear superpower. Now I don't think it was a close, but it was close enough to talk.

I it so when I say there was a good chance. I was thinking five percent. You know it would be ridiculous to think that you are most likely going to be dead of the year what what is it about anybody on the left? who would believe that I thought that would anybody interpreted as I thought it was greater than fifty percent chancellor, you individually would be dead in a year, because If who got elected, who who would believe that, I would actually predict that, but it's provocative enough to say that there's a good chance, five percent yeah, so yeah, so open borders, fentanyl deaths.

yeah correct, but I was thinking in terms of civil war as well. So phil decides to be my personal critic and he's he's got an argument he wants you to see, but to me it looks like cognitive dissonance as well. And here's my here's, my guide, for. identifying an npc I bet using the npc thing as sort of a metaphor from what it is that the right word. Is it a metaphor for the simulation that some people are just I- and I don't mean that literally I could beat your literally, but I don't mean it literally. What I mean is that there are certain number of people who will always say the most obvious thing that you say and the situation for example. If I were to tweet

I believe that the same, I believe that will never make it a venus recycling whenever something What is the most obvious thing? The somebody would tweet. The most obvious thing would be. Oh, the dilber guy disagrees with science That'd be the most obvious thing, so that would be an embassy kind of approach, The other thing is a personal attack, just as or some wrong with you. I mean that these are both personal attacks, but it doesn't have to be a comic reference. So if somebody says to rob writer was say, rob writer does a tweet. What is the most obvious thing, this somebody's gonna say if they disagree with his point of view the say: oh, I guess that's why they call them meet head when they play that character years ago.

The most obvious thing. You would say how many people say the most obvious thing. Every time he tweets a lot every time he tweets people go into the comments and say: well, I guess that's why they call them mad that it now the people who tweet that are you unaware. That is the most obvious thing to say, because I don't know the answer that or are you just trying to be? First with the most obvious thing, I don't really know what's going through their minds, The other is a If I say I have a technical problem as I did today. What's the most obvious thing to say, if I specifically me, if I have a technical problem with the most obvious thing to say: well: reboot yeah, boomer, yeah, oh boomer, boomer right now,

Sometimes, that might actually be the the full explanation, but has also just the most obvious thing to say. The other thing is people. Imagine that you're saying something dahmer wrong. So if somebody says the spot, She is bad, some is go, say well, why you really be the most, This thing is the doubt that there are thinking was her saying or how about the hypocrisy, one if I say view republican, did a bad thing. Somebody will always come into the comments and say someone completely unrelated thing. Well,. Well tell you. The other team did that too. It's the most obvious thing now, sometimes it's worth saying: oh your team. Did it too? So you know there's value in that, but it's also the most

say, you're gonna, say so, don't always say the most obvious thing it makes you look like an end pc. Even if you not, So I bid just tagging everybody who says the most obvious thing with the and pc hashtag and busy and let me tell you a changes, the conversation immediately when you el somebody, can you try to avoid saying the most obvious thing? They don't know what to say because they they can't get beyond it. most people don't know how to get beyond the most obvious thing, so they re just shut up. Now now. If you're doing a tv show to entertain people in politics, then you always do the hypocrisy thing the bull size, the? What about ism, because that's part of the entertainment, but if you're begging an honest

argument- and you think that was somebody did somewhere else at a different time at a different situation- is relevant to this discussion. Then you just be political. So I think that we are, we ve all become fake enemies. Do you think that I couldn't get along with the left? Yes lefty, if they didn't know or if they never seen my social media easily easily, not not any problem at all I mean I live in california, northern california, of surrounded by the left. The rest of the left is, and I have no problem with it all now. I'm not sure I get invited to has been replaced by ever problem with me,

One on one I never have any difficulty. Do you ever have a any difficulty one on one with any american citizen. I don't. See and and the the news has convinced us that we're at each other's necks, the number of people I've seen suggests that we're close to an actual. You know a violent civil war, just blows my mind We could not be further from that. Do you know how we're not at the cusp of the civil war? Do you want to prove it to you just walk outside so I say either the first person you say to that. Peculiar. They wanted was a high theirs oh anger out there at all about each other, not on an individual basis. Like we'll have this generic anger about the other group, but we don't have individual.

Laughter and we now have a reason for it. we are so far from being divided in reality, were only divided mentally because the news has made us too Why does the news divide us for money? They divide us for money and we go along with because we're entertained by largely you have to turn the hunger up. I don't know what that means, to turn the hunger up to see the revolution so you're saying so, things went wrong. It would turn violent now. Do you know what would happen if the united states go hungry? Are we to band together defeat each other? That's what we do do do you know republicans would do if the Democrats, for some reason, Only Democrats were starving. They would immediately form some gonna help to feed them and hope it works. The other way

less confident about it, but I think it works the other one. Now when it comes down to it, we'll take care of each other. We always have always will the way it works and and this whole division thing is entirely manufactured by the fake news and we're buying into it don't buy into it. You you do not have to dislike anybody. It's just not required. You can just break free If I forget anything, I was gonna talk about this declassified in cetera, I believe I have the best question on this topic and I have not seen it addressed and the best question on the topic of declassifying. The moral logo documents is, can a president declassify things by his actions, meaning it's obvious that he meant it to be declassified, and I think the answer is yes

I'm not the constitutional experts. But this is what I read today. I didn't realize that both george w bush in obama had also the executive orders which are still in force and they saw in it, gave the president's wherever the present is sweeping authority, declassify secrets and whose important part do not have to follow the mandatory classifications de classification procedures that all other government officials do and I'm sorry I took this off a website. I meant to give it credit if somebody knows where I took that from you probably ready to. Could you give credit to over the scheme from? I think there was a good addition to the conversation, but it was

have a right, leaning website somewhere anyway. In my opinion, if a president who has full sweeping authority to declassify, says, take these boxes and put them in my residence, he has declassified them who who there's only if the president who doesn't have to follow the procedure says, take these top sacred things and move them to this non topsecret for solely their declassified. you could say you don't like that. because I don't like it, but how in the world are you gonna get a court of twelve people to think that's not the case. Do you think you can get twelve june Well, gonna say: oh, no, that's that's not declassed vacation. Yes, the president can, Class, why any way was you

you have to use any specific words. Doesn't. have to write it down doesn't have to do. A document does need to tell anybody doesn't need to tell anybody doesn't need to tell em There are no requirements on the president, if you put me on the jury, I'm just going to say I dunno, I mean you can't prove that he didn't declassify him and by his actions it sure looks like he did, and I would say that Thus, in that case, if you can't even know if they're is they're classified or not, why are we even talk about it now, keep in mind when we talk add it in the news. You know we're just people talking about it. We can act like you know. We have some certainty that we don't have. Oh definitely declassified or oh definitely wasn't, but what, if you're during the jury would have to be

under reasonable doubt certain that this had not been declassified. How in the world with any jury, be sure of that is the if needed, when he says you know, he didn't want me to follow any rules and by his actions was obvious. He meant them to be declassified. Would you agree that if somebody takes something out of a top six, Place and intentionally puts it in the low security place that they have changed the young, the de facto declared classification. You: don't need to get all twelve to agree that, but- no way you don't get nine of them to agree. Am I wrong how in the world do you not get at least some of those twelve to say you know that is enough of a gray area that I'm not going to convict somebody on that as looking at this comment.

Or sesar anywhere about document, if he writes it anywhere about or sets of, documents, had become immediately declassified. So, I don't know if he said something that would also qualify, but maybe that I mean. Both trumpet said- and this is not an evidence. But suppose he had said to the usa, people were packing up, the boxes spoke, I said: hey this is top secret stuff. You know we have to handle it differently, as supposed trump just said. I know just put it in the boxes and said the two were a logo, thus the classification right in my opinion, it would be so I think he's going to be fine on that. I don't think there's any any legal risk at all on that. Alright,.

So even new gingrich pointed out that list cheney said quote: I will do whatever it takes to keep Donald trump out of the oval office and new says. Is it any wonder most of us think the january six committee is a stalinist show trial? is so bitterly ebbtide trump. How can she be trusted? again? Newt is doing a little mind. Really he's looking into her mind and seeing that she is bitterly anti trump, but I feel like that's an evidence. The anti trump part is clearly in evidence and the bitter part. It looks better to me I mean I can't read or mine, but if anybody ever what better thus but is better looking as you can ever look. so pretty sure covered everything I want to cover o one other thing.

So I submitted a comic to mice indication company this way, and it was rejected for content and I had to rewrite it and I believe the rewrite has been accepted. So I completely changed the job. But if you belong to the locals platform and you're subscriber sometime later today, you will see the comic that the rest of the world will not see, because it's too dangerous. Early so you'll see, the original version does not yet published luton its say that death into data september twenty fifth come out, you get to see the one that my editor said: nope nope nope. What was the topic, the topic,

was dilbert company created a robot that looked too much like an attractive woman and it went from there. So I had to rewrite that, but it wasn't sexual. There was not section Yeah, well, what what it was supposed to be what it was supposed to be as a comment on the fact that we will have robots that are more attractive than humans really soon really soon, and that that's going to be a a civilization threatening the situation because, once you like your robot better than people, Why wouldn't you because gave her mind your role

What will eventually look more like an attractive human than the person you're with right? If you pick a human you'd, be really lucky. If you got like super beautiful ones, are super handsome, but the robot's going to be super beautiful or super handsome. If they make it that way, and it's very soon going to look exactly like her. An actual human so very soon weapons if a guy gets into the robot, so I can have a conversation with you just like ay. I can't now And the I will be interested in what you are interested in and it will show interest in you and caring about you. That's better than humans. We're right at the edge, wrote the edge and will definitely go past. It were.

the robot will just be better company and more more rewarding to spend time with we're very close to that. But anyway, that was my point, but the risk was that women would women might take it differently. Now. I don't think my editor was wrong by the way so on. Clear, I think my editor got this one right. Yeah. The job of the editor is not just to make sure that the editor stays out of trouble, but to keep me out of trouble so part of their job is to keep me employed,

keep me from getting cancelled and my editor's opinion, which I trust in this situation, was that this will give me castle so you'll get to see it on locals. I talk about self hypnosis. That makes you more horny for your own mate. I did it and she responded interesting. Well, we'll not talk about that today, but that's a topic we'll revisit alright and the golden age of walking on eggshells. Now I think we are the golden age. I really think we are. It never looks like it when you enter. It is going to look like it in retrospect, or a micro lesson for kids leaving for their freshman year of college lesson for the parents

so as the kids not sure what what you want on that reparations yeah I do. I do have a reparations cupboard coming. I think that's gonna get the. I think that my reparations comic is going, get get, get stopped too. I didn't tell you that I don't plan to retire. I plan to get cancelled that either I thought about. Do I really want to just like fade away. so I think I'm going to make dilbert more and more dangerous and, like a cancel, that's the way I want to go out. I want to go out castle, alright, that's all! For now. I will talk to you tomorrow, youtube and,
