ybe you come down a little from worse than Watergate in your mind but you're like yeah I'm not sure it's quite worse than Watergate but sounds like it's pretty bad. See? So that's how their brainwashing works. Start with a big offer. It's worse than Watergate. And then it's hard to get you off that no matter how much data comes out later. They use repetition because if they say it enough you'll t…

Now there are some legal reasons it's hard to give them the data but that's a separate story. But if you mind read him none of that's happening. He's just trying to be a dictator.
And then the most important part which is disappearing the debunks. So this video which is debunking it thoroughly will not be highly rated on social media and so anybody who's going to do what I just did will just sort of get disappeared.
Now you might say to yourself well that's CNN right. CNN's crazy. But at least people will go over to Fox News and they'll read the real story. It might even agree with you Scott and they might even be on the same side. So you go over to this Fox News and you look for the story and good luck finding it. Now I don't know what's up with Fox News but I would think this would be like one of the big stories as opposed to not mentioned. So take that for whatever it means. I would think this one would be mentioned but must be a story there. I'm sure Fox News will cover it eventually and the opinion shows later today will cover it of course but it's sort of suspiciously not there at the moment unless it happened in the last hour.
All right here's some more CNN bad behavior. They also say quote legal experts say Trump broke the law by pressuring blah blah blah blah. Well if he pressured him maybe he broke the law. I don't know what law they're talking about. But if he was just talking to him and asking for data is that breaking the law? So here's CNN acting like a law has been broken when you can just listen to the tape and it's obvious no laws are broken.
All right here's another story just because the simulation loves us and gives us lots of code reuse. All six members of the congressional group we call the squad, you know the progressives, AOC etc., they all voted to put Nancy Pelosi over the top as speaker. Unanimous. So Nancy Pelosi must be doing something right. The squad loves her.
Now I have to admit when I first saw that the phrase lizard squad was trending I thought well that's not a nice thing to call AOC and the other people in that squad. I feel it's unkind to call them the lizard squad. But it turns out that lizard squad was a different squad. I got that wrong. Lizard squad was the hackers as opposed to the squad who are also lizards but they go by a different name. Also lizards because they're part of Congress not because they're, see this taken out of context. Imagine that quote becomes the part they take out of my live stream and miss the part where I say no it's because they're in Congress they're lizards. It's not because it's these few people in the squad that are lizards. They're all lizards but you take that part out.
My Twitter friend Zach says that watching the Biden presidency is gonna be like watching a bad spin-off of a TV show. You know the Trump TV show is just so awesome and top-rated show but then you know they do the spin-off of the minor characters. So it's like Trump was the TV show Friends and Biden is going to be like Joey. You know the spin-off show about just Joey. It's like yeah we're gonna watch it by habit and reflex and maybe it'll remind us of Friends but it's not Friends. It's not Friends.
All right here's a little tip for you. I don't know how much backing this has by science but there was a study saying that if you drink alcohol soon after getting the vaccination it will make the vaccination way less effective. There's something about alcohol that makes the meds in the vaccination a little less active. So don't drink alcohol within several days of getting the vaccination. So you have all been made more safe by watching this live stream.
Here's a question for you. Remember Howard Schultz who was the founder of Starbucks and he was running for president for a while? What if he had been elected? Would Howard Schultz, could you trust him to make decisions about whether Starbucks should be open? How do you do that? I feel as if Howard Schultz although I have lots of confidence in him as a smart operator and capable and all that, I have only good thoughts about him, but he would be in quite a bind wouldn't he? Because one of the biggest questions in the pandemic is does a place like Starbucks stay open or just go out of business? How could he make that decision or even be part of it? I don't see how that would have worked. But you know short of having a pandemic he would have been fine. But as soon as it's a pandemic he's the wrong match for the job, right?
Remember I've told you that there's no such thing as bad presidents and good presidents. They're just presidents who coincidentally are matched for a task. Trump perfectly matched for a whole bunch of tasks mostly international. But Howard Schultz would have been a bad match for a pandemic just because you would never know if he w

as doing something because of Starbucks. You just wouldn't be able to know that. And I'm not casting any aspersions on Schultz. Like I said I have only good feelings about him but it'd be a bad position to put him in. Gordon Chang who talks quite a bit about North Korea and China, an expert in that region, is recommending that we cut all ties with China. Think about that. Cut all ties with China.…
