y. And so somehow while I was having the best experience of my life travel experience, my critics are telling me that they feel sorry for me for choosing incorrectly. Now my critics were staying home probably not having sex with one of the most beautiful women in the world and they're pretty sure that I'd made all the wrong choices. Now what does the right choice look like if the wrong choice was…
← Previous segment →he took from me because nobody else said it.
And the recommendation was to resist by not wearing masks until you're asked because you're not mad at the security guard you're just trying to overload the system. And so he explained that that was his idea. That actually came from me.
Tate tried to recruit me into his group for about two years through a surrogate and it was so ridiculous that I eventually said something in public. And because I said something in public to slap him down when he was a fan of mine I think he's like a spurned lover now. So he acts like an angry lover the way he treats me because I basically rejected his advances.
If you didn't know that part of the story then you don't know why he's acting so personally worked up about me. And when I strike back I'm not really striking back. I just think it's funny that he got so canceled. And by the way if it were anybody except a personal enemy I'd probably be defending him because I don't agree with canceling people for what he said.
Okay can you handle that incongruity? I'm delighted that he got canceled because I think he's a horrible person and I dislike him personally. He's bad for the world. But the reasons he got canceled were completely illegitimate in my opinion. Does anybody disagree? I believe the reasons he got canceled were 100% illegitimate. Any disagreement?
Because the things he said were just opinions and his opinions were not far from the mainstream. Now somebody's saying beating a woman but that's what you believe happened. That's what you believe happened. I saw a video in which it's unclear. It's unclear whether it was consensual or not. So if it's unclear I give them the benefit of the doubt because video can be very misleading. How many times have you seen video tell the wrong story? Well often, right?
So if you think that he's guilty because you saw a video that's not credible. It could be exactly what you think it is, abusing a woman, in which case I would revise my opinion. But if that's the only thing you have is that video it doesn't look like it's necessarily non-consensual. It doesn't look like it to me.
But and then the other things he said about the role of men versus women that's an opinion and he's not far from the mainstream. The reason he had what four million followers is that he was hitting a note with some number of people.
Oh somebody says she came out and said it was play. Well then somebody's going to say but you know she was threatened or bribed to say that, right? So nothing that we see in the news is credible. But if the woman is not complaining and the video is unclear I would say that's not something you could hold against them based on what you know. You'd have to be guessing to hold that against them.
Yeah so the thing I hate about Tate is him making up stuff to defame me in public. So anybody who makes up stuff to defame me I would like to see die a horrible death. Is that wrong? If somebody makes up something to defame you in public and you wouldn't mind seeing them die a horrible death. I mean I wouldn't do it. I'm not saying that you should do it or anybody should do anything violent. I'm against violence. I'm just saying that like if an accident happened and something bad happened to him I'd be like oh okay I'm pretty happy about that.
I mean I was happy when he got canceled and I don't think the cancellation was right. I think the cancellation was completely wrong but still made me happy. Karma does his thing sometimes.
Probably got you more notoriety and I don't think so. Peter Zeihan and population collapse. We've talked about population collapse. Rumors about Tate and Jordan Peterson's daughter which she denied, right? I believe Jordan Peterson's daughter got pulled into some rumor about Tate. I think they met but she's I think she denied it and I think I would believe her.
Now by the way you don't have to wonder if Tate's a liar because well to the extent that you believe me I suppose but I know he's a liar. I don't have to wonder. Some of you I suppose still have to wonder but I have the luxury of knowing for sure that he's lying. So I have a different opinion.
Yeah why would she go visit him in Romania? Isn't that weird? Like what would inspire you to go do that? No 48 hour rule just kicked in for everything I'm saying. Well that's always true.
Did I talk about this that yeah I did. Did I mention that Trump retweeted my not retweeted about truth my top ten hoax quiz? Did I mention that Trump boosted my hoax quiz? So that happened.
So yesterday let me describe like an actual moment for me. So yesterday I'm sitting in my kitchen and I've got my laptop out and it's the end of the day and I've done everything I need to do so I don't you know I'm just looking at Twitter or something. And I've got a bag of potato chips open which I don't normally do. All right normally I have a pretty controlled diet but salt and pepper potato chips with Ruffles I can't resist.
So I'm eating some potato chips. I'm all alone you know with my dog minding my own business. And you know I get a text that Trump just boosted my hoax quiz. So once again I'm just my actual physical world is so small. It's just me sitting there eating some potato chips. The next thing I know I'm part of a national story. And the number of times that that happens is just so weird. You'd never really get used to it.
Thank you Bill for saying that. Yeah I guess it's always when I'm minding my own business. You're right.
By definition what made you think your marriage would last? I didn't think that. I've never thought a marriage would last. I don't think your marriage will last either. I just bet against it based on statistics. Yeah I think the worst assumption you can make is that marriages usually fail but yours won't. I never made that. I made the assumption that marriages usually fail so mine probably will. So I wasn't surprised.
Why get married? Because you want to get married. There are benefits of marriage especially if kids are involved. If kids are involved it just makes things easier. It's sort of awkward to have a long-term relationship and not be married after a certain age. It's just a problem. It's just

easier to be married after a certain number of years you've been together. Now we were together for five years and it worked great. And if you ask me what changed I don't know and probably will never know but something changed. I mean something major changed at one point but I don't know exactly what it was because people change. I don't know. Maybe will I add the 15th hoax to find votes? That's…
