  1. Don't ever bring a child into a protest. Making them participate in any type of protest is horrible. Don't make your kid hold a Trump flag, don't have them hold a rainbow flag, let them grow up and make their own decisions.

  2. There's zero chance this person was just living their life and going to work and the grocery store and hanging out with friends when they suddenly got death threats that necessitated an evacuation.

  3. I don’t think that should be a dealbreaker. What the dealbreaker is, is that they would never allow a rebuttal. They would never allow the other side of that debate. I’m all for wacky people saying stupid things, but not in isolation.

  4. Amen. When he said that to Jordan Peterson and called him and angry white man I couldn't believe it. What a disgusting hypocrite.

  5. I can't imagine, as a Canadian, moving to China, and finding a little community of Canadians, and only hanging out with Canadians, and trying to change China to be the way I think it should be. The arrogance is astounding.

  6. Of Thomas had ANY humility whatsoever he would’ve called her up and at least talked about it or something. I would feel bad if I tied with somebody and then I got the trophy. That would feel wrong to me. I would certainly want the other person in the official photo, holding the trophy as well at the same time.

  7. I lose respect for entertainers as soon as they get political. The worst are hypocrites like Bruce Springsteen who specifically endorse one side of the aisle and then have the stones, right after their guy wins the election, to go on TV talking about how we all need to come together and heal. It's so disgusting. There's zero chance he would've done that if Trump won a second term.

  8. I know how that would work out. It happens with Justin Trudeau in Canada when parliament will sometimes ask him the same question over and over and over and he literally just stands up and the look on his face gets more and more smug each time and he gives an answer that is completely non sequitur. This one time, opposition party members, one by one, got up and asked him when a member of his cabinet found something out, and he just kept standing up and saying that the Liberals are working for middle-class Canadians. The fact his smirk got wider and wider each time made me want to throttle him. Actually it made me want to throttled the rest of Canadians who keep voting that sock puppet in.

  9. And not on home turf. She gets extra points for willing to walk into the enemies house and do it.

  10. This one has the same motivations as Jen, but she's not half as smart. Unfortunately Jen wasn't half as smart as the lady she replaced.

  11. I love TS to death but I think he drastically oversimplified the antisemitism there. So many people like to make it seem like there's literally no reason besides sheer jealousy that anybody could possibly have any other factors involved in their hate towards this same group of people all over the world for thousands of years. That's pretty low resolution thinking. Reminds me of the free Palestine marches these days where they don't want to acknowledge that this round of fighting is because they legit indiscriminately slaughtered people in the streets on purpose.

  12. What's unbelievable is that the statement is literally textbook racist in every way, yet these clowns keep getting away with it over and over and over. It's some full 1984 shit. They use racism to accuse you of racism, and they have the power to compel you as far as getting the corporation you work for to introduce a mandatory racist race training like Walmart does.

  13. The stones on this guy to get angry that someone says he owns a private plane, to call it a lie, when he did go on it, and it was owned by his spouse. Good Lord
    15
  14. Everybody has that one thing that makes them lose all objectivity. I think we can figure out what that is when it comes to the daily wire.
    14
  15. It's like how Bill Mahar said people should stop whining and things aren't that bad. Easy to say when you're worth 10's of millions.
    13
  16. There's absolutely nothing humble about at least his public persona. He's very frustrating to watch because he doesn't seem open minded at all. He just talked about releasing a book where he basically gives his view on damn near everything. He has strayed far outside of his field of expertise.

  17. I worked outside in the prairies for years, including Ft Mac. Blue collar folk who grew up as working poor don't know hardship. We can't because we're.....white?!

  18. As a Canadian I got recruited by an American company to do videography in action sports back in the day and I got denied a simple work visa in America. I know a guy whose parents were both American and he was born in Canada and 25 he got denied a work visa in Portland despite being recruited, straight out of college.

  19. The media kept talking about how 90% of the truckers were vaccinated, as if that meant they were on board. I had to get vaccinated to have a job but I went to all the trucker protest I could. Not even just for work though, I also wanted to see a movie or get on an airplane or any other of the things you do to participate in society. Go to restaurants. Given that the unvaccinated turned out to be right, it's incredible to me the amount of freedoms that most of the population were OK with losing, especially when you consider that all along, we knew that there was a 99%+ survival rate. You can't make this stuff up.

  20.  @michaelmasserang8922  the melting pot all the way. In Canada, we’ve always embraced “multiculturalism” and even as a little kid, it didn’t make sense to me. Now we’re starting to see where that leads, and I don’t think it ever could’ve led in any different direction.

  21. Academic achievement is more about how well your memory works and how hard you're willing to study then it does overall intelligence

  22. Yes, Jon Stewart 100% gets credit for going on Bill O'Reilly's show. They are actually sorta friends so it's not exactly the same as Anna and Ben but it's still a good thing. @DoctorPhileasFragg 
    9
  23. Haha, perfect.
    9
  24.  James Scalzo  I think Ben is saying the whole country went completely ape shit for absolutely no reason. Governments used the opportunity to gain greater control, and all the hysteria was for nothing. Seal teams can take the fight to the bad guys, and the FBI or CIA can try to uncover plots, and that's about it. There were no more attacks. Average Joe had zero reason to change their lives at all, yet people went completely ape shit. The chance of someone dying in a terrorist attack are unbelievably small, but you'd never think that based on reactions. That cheeseburger has a 50% chance of eventually killing you. Nobody cares.

  25. Exactly. Everybody on that board should have to testify before a Senate committee. Although we know that won’t lead anywhere anyway.

  26. The she/they thing was supposed to be comedy? A comedy show can make political points but they better be funny and clever. This was just a rant. I'm amazed SNL still exists.

  27. What's weird is that what he advocates directly produces this end result and he's weirded out that it's being even thought about.
    7
  28. And look at all the hate in the comments. People want a halftime show instead of a measured politician. It's sad.

  29. I wish I could be as zen as you. As a fellow Canadian, I'm livid I had to get the jab in order to be employed. I guess where I'm at is I'm down to forgive anyone who comes to their senses and owns up to what they did. Until then, I hate them. I'm sorry. To me it's like running red lights all day long because "I just didn't know any better". It doesn't take combing through research papers to figure out that what you are seeing with your own eyes is insane. Literally day one I thought our response was nuts. 2 weeks to flatten the curve? I laughed my ass off at the time, because obviously in two weeks, we would be exactly in the same position and that wouldn't solve anything. I simply can't believe that the majority of humanity is so stupid that they can't see the unbelievably illogical and hypocritical things that were coming from every single authority. This has all actually helped me because I've always been a cynical person, but I held onto some semblance that the world was somewhat logical but now I understand the true depths of how corrupt the world is and I'm better off for it. And I mean, corrupt all the way down to the busy family member who doesn't have time to look into the news. This stuff was so blatantly obviously wrong that it didn't require anything but looking around you when you went to Walmart. I think humanity isn't ready for our brain power yet. We are still essentially idiotically, lizards. There's not a single quote, busy parent" out there who didn't see at least a few things that didn't add up. If that happens and you ignore it.(by the billions), and it hurts the world, then to hell with you. You're part of the problem. If there were more trucker protest, I would go to them too.

  30. They never have an actual end goal. Discriminate against these people because they are "on top" then discriminate against these people because they're "on top" and it will never end. Ask them exactly what we need to take place for this all to end and they won't have an answer for you that isn't so vague and nebulous as to be meaningless.

  31. Depends on the mask. Masks that fit properly and filter out particles the size of viruses exist, are inexpensive, and they absolutely do work.

  32. On behalf of Canada I'd like to formally apologize for Howie Mandel. Here's the thing: Howie is a legit germophobe. Has been for years and years so I get where he's coming from. Initially I was paranoid of Covid, but then we got some data and very early on I adjusted my thinking. I reluctantly got the jab because my job depended on it. This time I'm not getting it come hell or high water because now he have not only data that most people don't need it, but that it's overall actually harmful. FYI I'm still a germophobe.

  33. Melissa - That's so sad because from what I gather, Evergreen has the potential to be awesome. Don't send her to Canada either because if you believe what Jordan Peterson has to say, it's infected here too (though I'm a west coaster so I don't know if it applies more to the east of if it's all over and again, I'm in construction so if you come at a jobsite talking about equality of outcome or installing a 3rd porta potty for transgendered people you'll get laughed off site. Jobsites aren't the most liberal of places, but if you were a flaming pansexual with blue hair and lipstick but you busted your ass on site and got shit done, you'd be accepted and respected in very short order).
    6
  34. That's very interesting. I wish I was American. I'd love to enrol just to witness the insanity first hand. It's fascinating to me because I work in construction and this SJW stuff is so far removed from my daily life.
    6
  35. If I would've said, the exact same words, Trudeau just said, a couple years ago, my social media accounts would've been flagged, and or taken away from me. To be honest, I mostly hate my fellow citizens who allow this guy to get voted in three times.
    6
  36. I hope so. I hope some of that comes north of the border because up here in Canada we aren’t looking too good right now. Our truckers were awesome and now I hope our university students can be awesome.
    6
  37. The only thing I can think is that maybe as a drinking buddy Gavin is awesome and Bill is looking at him as his buddy, not as a competent leader

  38. California literally has it all. You can snowboard and surf there. It has mountains and lakes and the ocean. San Diego has the best weather imaginable yet people are still leaving in droves.

  39. Every time they ask for donations, I told them that I used to donate religiously until they sided with the monkey in the monkey selfie case, and then how they went biased on an epic level that’s literally beyond belief. I make sure I tell them why I’m not donating every single time now.
    6
  40. I spend a lot of time paying attention to this stuff, and somebody who can actually think objectively is so unbelievably rare and precious. And the sad part is that you are being embraced by a “community” within this space, and you will be viciously attacked for even talking to them. The only advice I could offer is to never go down the path where you’re trying to please anyone or anything other than your desire for true critical, thinking. Do not become partisan. Do not ever bow to the tribe. Ever. Do not sell your soul to either side. Always give the devil his do, and always try to honestly look at things from all angles. You will be tempted, so tempted to sell just a tiny piece of your soul to gain this or that, but that’s a slippery slope. Stay absolutely true who you are. I really hope this works out for you and you blow up because the world desperately needs more people like you.
    6
  41.  @privacyfig  that was one of my biggest takeaways. The fact that a man who is trying to speak so honestly, and objectively has to be that careful with his words is so sad
    6
  42.  @DeflatingAtheism  "When in doubt, bring up the person's race!" My favourite is when those stories come out where somebody rips somebody else about their white privilege or whatever and it turns out the person isn't white and they have to walk back their statement, but even then they usually only walk it back halfway because they have no humility nor self-awareness.

  43. I would like to ask him for the mechanism the right wing extremists are using. These people just talk about this right wing bogeyman, but they never ever ever ever ever ever actually say what the right wing bogeyman is doing.

  44. We are glad you came. You are the exact type of person we want immigrating.

  45. I can’t believe nobody else pointed that out. His eyes are the size of dinner rolls.

  46. "can't name EXACTLY what it is about Trump that they object to!" I have this problem all the time with people. In Canada we have Justin Trudeau and I can't stand him and I keep an actual list, a long list, a very specific things he has done, policy wise, that break my brain. I wanna make sure that when somebody asks me what I don't like, I can counter with substance because there's nothing worse than when somebody doesn't like someone just because "they are a big jerk face".

  47. Babylon Bee's channel has really good cartoons about this.

  49. I miss Conan. He just wanted to be silly and make people laugh.

  50.  @ScottCleve33  I disagree. The original Colbert show was hilarious. It was witty and charming and funny. And Jimmy Kimmel used to host The Man Show. That show was funny as hell. both of them start out awesome. Along the way, they sold their souls to The System.

  51. It's every Western nation. I'm from Canada. Pray for me.

  52. The statement was a statement of opinion to even if the student decided that it was still bigoted, but they came to it honestly through their own conclusions, then, fair enough. I don’t care what someone’s conclusion is in any matter of opinion, so long as they come to it honestly.

  53. RFK Jr is by far the best candidate for POTUS. It's not even close. I don't agree with him on all his policies but I know a good man when I see one. He's also humble enough to admit when he's wrong, like he was about the border crisis. He went there and got educated and changed his mind. I think he's the real deal.

  54. BC still requires an injection for a staff? Yeah, it's insane. That people were denied EI even though ungodly numbers of people got the CERB illegally and nothing is coming of it.

  55. What the boy said has gone viral, but I'd like to hear what his parents think about this.

  56.  @GhostSal  People are capable of justifying damn near anything that helps them.

  57. I think everyone accuses everyone they don't like of being a grifter. I'm not buying it. I think these people have drunk their own Kool-Aid and are so deep inside their bubbles that they believe what they are saying. You can't come up with words salads like that off the cuff if you are purposely putting on a con.

  58. Vivek Vs RFK Jr is what the election should be in America. Two actual good, decent people with different views running for president.

  60.  @TrekBeatTK  The Babylon Bee needs SNL's budget.

  61. Him refusing to answer questions during question period, with that smug look of his, should be banned. You should be forced to answer questions. Anybody who sees this type of behaviour and still supports it is lacking integrity.

  62. That’s literally no different than saying you would only hire students from there. That’s what interviews are for. Denying somebody specifically because they graduated from Harvard or somewhere is just as ideologically driven and insane.

  63. As a guy who just moved from Sask, it’s fucked that the premier fully admits that the restrictions were about public sentiment and not safety or science. I’m very happy he’s making a decision but I still want him to explain why they were there in the first place.

  64. Almost all people who are very wealthy, are clueless about it. It's understandable. If you've had no contact with some thing for 30 years, you're not really gonna be able to understand it on a visceral level.

  65.  @killazilla44  "Jobless is the biggest factor of homelessness you don't need to be a genius to figure that one out since money is the key factor." Vancouver's homeless problem has gone from a "traditional" few small blocks on the east side of downtown to an overwhelming spread in that area that's many, many times bigger than it was 20 years ago. The main street downtown, Granville, used to be vibrant and now every night it's filled with homeless people chillin in front in little encampments all over. Right now in Vancouver, as has been the case for years now, stores give poor service because they can't find workers. Stores are desperate for people to fill vacancies. When the Canadian gov't was giving out checks to people during Covid, there were places offering good money and nobody wanted to go. It is not a lack of jobs. At least not here where I live. There are nothing but jobs to be had here. They aren't 6 figure jobs but for damn sure there's full time employment for anyone who wants it. I'd say it's a good parallel because Vancouver is a sister city to SF. They are as close as two cities can get and have roughly the same feel. Vancouver is also very progressive, and also has growing homeless problem so if jobs are certainly not the problem here, then I question if they are for SF.

  66. That's like how I once had a meeting with a guy from an investment firm wanting me to invest in a startup. He looked me dead in the eye and in all seriousness leaned in and said "My philosophy is to buy low, and sell high". Gee, thanks tips.

  67.  @tamarleahh.2150  The moderates of any religion are usually pretty good people.

  68. What's funny is I guarantee they see formal education as a 1:1 with overall intelligence, as if a degree in linguistics means you understand foreign policy better.
    4
  69.  @douglasjones2570  the comment was about white guilt and colonial guilt etc. How white people are expected to give reparations or atone for things that happened 100 years before they were born.
    4
  70. The soft bigotry of low expectations.

  71. I'm so jealous. I'm Canadian and I'd leave here in a second if I was able to. It's surprisingly hard for Canadians to move to America.

  72. If Trump was in office and Hamas held Americans all he would have to do is get on TV, look directly in the camera and say “You have 48 hrs to release those hostages or else”.

  73. How else can the war machine feed?

  74. What's interesting is that what you wrote goes both ways. I could easily see your exact comment being used by someone who is very enthusiastic about the vaccine.
    4
  75. Yeah, out of touch that people aren't down for someone spreading a message of measured positivity. How everyone can be shitting on him is beyond me. This was the first interview of a politician in ages that hasn't pissed me off. I'm pro weed (well I hate the stuff personally but I get why legalization is fine) and I'm not religeous but overall this guy gave me a great impression. I guess people want sound bites and outrageous promises. That's how you ended with the last two tire fires in your election. You get what you deserve.
    4
  76. 100%. I'm in Vancouver which is SF lite, and I work in the worst part of town (Hastings St) and things don't get reported all the damn time simply because we know the cops will come and do nothing. Sometimes they literally don't come at all. A guy tried to stab a security guard and then spray pepper spray into his little shack to flush him out. When that didn't work the guy tried to kick the door in. They called the cops who said "That sounds like someone with mental health issues. There's not much we can do. The guard asked if they could come by anyway just to take the statement. They never showed up.

  77. Are you telling me that every time someone has an opinion you agree with talks about something that you check up on, then judge them based on their academic credentials? I doubt it. It goes both ways, DG. That doesn't make you a "bigot", but it does kinda make you hypocritically closed minded. I don't mean that in a harsh way at all, I'm sure you're a good person, I'm just trying to make you aware of your own biases before calling others out on theirs.

  78.  @gregg6398  Sadly no, Pepsi is not any different at all. They own Frito-Lay which owns Doritos and they said, regarding BLM "There's never been a community that needs a megaphone more than now". Really? Nobody has ever needed a voice more than black people in 2021? They also announced a 7 figure donation to the cause. You can't avoid it man. Boycotts are basically impossible since almost all major corps do it and they own friggin everything. I stopped my personal boycotts for this reason. It's like trying to stop a waterslide with a beach towel.

  79.  @officialWWM  he’s one of the most respected scientists in that field, and he’s one of the authors of The Great Barrington Declaration which Fauci himself vilified in the media. He has taken his lumps for standing up for everyone during Covid. I will defer to his world-class expertise.

  80. It's because he has an army of robots who are programmed just like he is.

  81. 2:20. I love ya Dave, but this is your most off-base video I've seen by far. Don't get me wrong, I hate Bill Gates with a passion. I think he's evil, but in this clip he's trying to decrease mortality rates. When you do that, people have less kids. When they know that both of their kids will probably live to be adults, they don't have 4 or 5 just in case. That's how it's been all over the world. He's correct in everything he says there. Dude, seriously, chill out. Bill is a lizard person, but in this particular clip he's advocating for the exact opposite of what you're saying. He's saying that these countries already have a hard time feeding the kids, so if people have less of them there's more food to go around and there are more resources to educate them etc. I never thought I'd be on the side of Bill Gates vs Dave Rubin but in this case I'm 100% will Bill because he is empirically correct. Also, I've been a Mac guy for 25 years now but saying everyone left Windows is nuts. They have 75% of the market, Mac has about 15%.

  82. Do "they/them" count as more than one person each, since they are referred to in plural?
    3
  83. Not just segregation, but an outright vilification of frontline workers who were literally called heroes by the same people for months earlier. Those Frontline workers didn't change a single thing about their lives. From the time they were called heroes, till the time they were called villains. They lost their jobs, and in many places lost their ability to get any sort of unemployment benefits. I don't think people have really sat down and deeply thought about how dystopian that is.

  84.  @mdleweight  exactly. I can't believe Dave never mention the fact that every one of us has a document scanner in our pocket. That was painful.
    3
  85.  @davidhaas6258  I'm not American so I'm wondering the same thing. And if it's about something you have to do before you get to the polls, then all of us have a scanner in our pocket. I'm confused.

  86. Canada got it's independence by asking. America used guns. Just saying.

  87. Where do you live? Not wearing them was not an option where I am in Canada unless I ordered literally everything I may need to purchase online because every single store was required by law to make you wear one. You would also need to be able to work from home or be independently wealthy.

  88.  @EveIsJustMyBlogName  it sucks that they get incredibly overprescribed, because it overshadows stories like yours. These drugs absolutely do have a place and they do help some people. On a lark, I went to see a psychiatrist, and literally within 15 minutes he diagnosed me with anxiety disorder and tried to get me on medication. If you knew me, you know, I certainly don't have an anxiety disorder. At all. He seemed to ask a bunch of follow-up questions that were there to confirm his original guess. I filled out no questionnaires, and he asked me very little about my life. It blew my mind how quickly he came to that conclusion and he seemed to ask question after question trying to purposely find validation for the idea that I should be medicated. It was the strangest thing. It's like how doctors always try to get me to take drugs, and I refuse, and the issue usually goes away on its own anyway.

  89. People need to be directly impacted by something. Soon as it comes around to them they suddenly get it. It's sad that it has to come to that.

  90. Not sure who first said it, but the idea that the person who can best articulate the other side of an argument is probably right. You have to be able to play devil's advocate against yourself before arguing against someone else.

  91. I want the whole story. This was not a good video because it was such a tiny clip. Does the kid amit he did it for literally no reason? Why hug the guy after? So many questions, and I reserve judgement until I know more. Edit: I just did a 2 second google search and the kid is 19. Dave, at least make SOME effort to find out what is what before posting. The kid also tried to rob the man at gunpoint, then after the assault laughed at him. This kid is an absolute monster, and so is the buddy who filmed it.

  92. Not to go racial, but why is it almost always white women behind this stuff? White educated elite women cause more damage than anything.
    3
  93. Bingo. The right mostly just sort of rolls their eyes at the left whereas the left really does seem to think the right is made up of inherently bad ideas.
    3
  94. Everyone wants to paint these MSM people as being grifters. Phoney. They aren't. They believe the ends justify the means. They really do. He avoided addressing any of what the kid said because he thinks any ground ceded to the other side is morally wrong. It's so gross. How Brian has been paid millions is beyond me. What's his appeal? How is he better and more appealing to viewers than anybody off the street? He has zero charisma.
    3
  95.  @lm3049  In Canada the PM does a daily briefing that take ages. Not a goddman thing gets said, and the majority of the questions come from the publicly funded media, so of course they are going to lob absolute softballs every time. It's so gross.
    3
  96. He's not irrelevant. That's just ridiculous. He's relevant enough to get a mention on the Rubin Report and you damn sure know who he is, and he currently hosts one of the "major" late night talk shows. He's a douchebag but he's certainly not irrelevant.
    3
  97. It would be hilarious if the Dems decided on a cis white man like Biden, and the Republicans countered with a lesbian black woman. Their heads would explode a the polls.
    3
  98. The reason this bothers me so much is because we are playing a game of good versus evil, right versus wrong. Nuance has gone right out the window, just like it has with Ukraine. Obviously killing innocent people is wrong. Duh. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't take a step back and ask some questions. We need to look at this holistically as opposed to "these guys did something bad in a vacuum, and we need to go after them with everything we've got. Take religion out of this and look at it as strictly a terrorist attack and we'd be much more level headed about it all. It's now basically just tribalism and each side thinks they have the moral upper hand.
    3
  99. The Vietnam war was justified by the same reasoning. Everybody is a threat. In the case of Vietnam, it was the domino effect. But the domino effect theory is ridiculous because it should work in reverse as well. And America lost that war and communism didn't take over. We need to stay out of this conflict. Terrorists and Israel should not concern America whatsoever. Only get involved if armies try to invade and take over Israel, We need an ally in the region because oil..

  100.  @terivandekuilen5378  How exactly is a long running successful late night talk show host on a major network a nobody? That's just ridiculous.

  101. Dumbest? He's got competition. Eric Dyson is way up there too. Both of them are on the Mount Rushmore of cognitive dissonance.

  102. Haha, best comment yet.

  103. You shouldn't love it, it should make you sad. If you "love" it, it's because all you care about is your team, and that your team wins over her team. How about wishing that everybody pulls their heads out of their asses and makes good choices?

  104. Don't confuse seeing though some liberal idiocy with being conservative. Russell is politically homeless, as is Joe Rogan.

  105. I desperately hope the polls are right lately.

  106. It's not all involuntary. 99% of people think there should be a military, and roads and schools. It's just the amounts, and how they're spent that are up for debate. Tax itself is pretty much universally agreed upon as a good thing.
    3
  107. Everyone is bias. Nutritional information is an absolute shitshow because everybody thinks THEY have the answer, completely disregarding the evidence of people who eat totally differently yet live long healthy lives. The human body is insanely adaptable and they vary greatly. I guess it's up to each to find what works best for themselves as individuals.

  108. Yes, but RFK has class. He doesn't want to turn it into standup comedy like Trump. He gets the same message across but like a gentleman.

  109. You have a way, way, way less chance of getting a clot than you do of dying from covid from the most conservative estimates. I'm just saying that logic is a two-way street. So long as you don't go off about how low the risk of dying from covid is, you're good to go. We have to remain completely objective and remain that logic goes both ways.

  110. People that go extreme, one-way, often go extreme in the other. There's a decent chance he will see the error of his ways and really try his best to be close to you once he understands what you did for him.

  111. That mirror has a golden frame and he has legions of people telling him he's a brave hero. That's how.

  112. Wrong on being a software developer? It's #1 with a bullet and it's not even close. For decades. You are objectively wrong there. He's not an a agriculturalist, he's a guy who bought land. As a climatologist, he's agreeing with you here. I don't get your stance. And he really is a legit literal genius. Don't get me wrong, I think the guy is pure evil and we haven't seen the last of it because his daughters husband told my friend that she recently graduated with a degree in public policy so he's not done, but none of that changes the fact he is legitimately a successful genius.

  113. Marty: if your electricity for your electric car comes from coal fired plants, then you are still emitting all kinds of fossil fuels even with your electric vehicle (not to mention the horribly toxic chemicals and things that need to be mined to go into the batteries). Also your argument is just plain fucking stupid because owning physical devices has zero to do with your intimate knowledge of, well...anything about them.
    2
  114. Bang on. It bugs me when people strongly on one side of a debate just spout their side only without really even trying to engage the other. It's like the greed vs hippy fights. The money side says "But jobs and quality of life, you idiots!" and the hippies say "It's the air we all breathe, you idiots!" and never try to find that common ground and build from there. How about the greedy say "When there's more money because of X,Y, and Z that means we have more available funding to help environmental causes and help for the homeless blah blah blah" and the hippies could say "When there's less income disparity, the entire economy does better so even the capitalists benefit because more people have money for their shit, and you will live a longer, happier life with clean air so you can enjoy your yacht with your great grandkids". But they don't. No wonder fuck-all gets solved. People on the whole are not interested in finding solutions, they are interested in getting angry and being "right".
    2
  115. Ad hominem at it's finest. That sucks because I really want to hear reasoned arguments on both sides of this debate but EVERYBODY seems to be an ideologue zealot so I have no fucking idea what to believe.
    2
  116. But you are conflating the indoctrinations of performative narratives on the vanguard of the population with the veracity of a metaphoric tsunami. There, did I say smart? I used lots of words. Hopefully I can be his friend. Maybe he can teach me to be racist too.

  117.  @gregg6398  It's basically impossible to avoid all the companies doing this shit. Coke, Walmart, Disney, B of A, Phizer, Lowe's, Nike, Patagonia, Adidas, Reebok, Pepsi/Frito-Lay, Facebook, PayPal, and let's not forget they very platform you are on. Google/YouTube are some of the worst offenders at all. Believe me I hate what these companies do but it's basically impossible to avoid all of them, and there are many, many more.

  118.  @arvaneret_329 moving away from God? Islam believes in the exact same God Christians do.

  119.  @patrickholland6848  she says "single mom" as if somehow, that means that by definition she didn't have money. Same with student loans. It's so gross.
    2
  120. 4:55 THIS is the crux of the problem. We are playing to delicate egos instead of trying to actually solve problems. Catering to those feelings is literally playing politics with what's supposed to be the most important issue of our time that they claim is existential in nature.
    2
  121.  @BG-mh6pc  They are not at all down for a diversity in appearance. Well, not entirely. You know where I'm going with this.

  122. The mixed race woman that most of the moderate fence sitters and slightly right leaning folks said they've vote for over Trump? That woman? Can't be.
    2
  123. Yup. The next day Jon Stewart started his show by rubbing his hands together and staring at the camera excitedly, not saying a word. Then after some silence he said that sometimes the jokes just write them selves, or something like that. It was funny because we all knew what he was getting at and his reaction was fucking priceless. That's how a real comedian does it. It's like great blues, where it's all about the notes you don't play. He wasn't a gross partisan hack. He was left leaning, but very fair.

  124. Conan was always the shit. He just wanted to do the jokey jokeis and make people laugh. I don't think he gave a fuck about the politics.

  125. Go home.

  126. The saddest part is that many of those professionals only do that because if they don't, then they themselves will get canceled. I've listened to podcasts from psychologists who give specific examples of how the mob was taking away peoples careers for simply doing a deeper dive to see whether the child truly is gender dysphoric, or whether the kid was just going through a phase with their friends.
    2
  127. I'll tell you how: one big city. Toronto. The vast majority of his votes came from one metropolitan area. Outside of that he receives very little in the way of votes. West of Toronto he gets so little as to be irrelevant. Vancouver is a bit silly, as is Victoria, but the west doesn't like him.
    2
  128. The CBC is so stupid. They keep ripping the conservatives even though they know the cons will eventually win power back and then what do you think they'll do? "Uh...sorry guys, were just kidding?". What a terrible strategy. If they'd just stay honest, the CBC would get a bit more funding during Liberal power, and a bit less curing Con power and that would be it. But if the cons win again the CBC will hopefully get their budgets cut right to nothing, and replaced with what the CBC used to be.

  129.  @ecall1771  "Canada elected him twice, Canada deserves this" What's this twice shit? THREE times. It's beyond belief.

  130. Hey, you leave soy out of this. It's delicious goddammit!

  131. Exceedingly few people are in a position where they can play to their morals every time. Do you think the person working at McDonald's wants to deal with that customer? Who's being a jerk? No, they paint a smile on their face because they have to. Go tell that McDonald's worker that they are part of the problem. You must live a very comfortable life.
    2
  132.  @deedeemooreco.2304  You're taking her out of context. She meant "People are going off about this thing. When it passes, you'll get to see what it's all about" meaning she was talking to the general population. She certainly did not mean it as "We won't let you know what's in it unless it's passed"
    2
  133. I wonder how Martha Stewart feels every time Fauci lied to Congress. I wonder how she feels listening to Nancy Pelosi deny insider trading.
    2
  134.  @amostlyreasonableguy  "xactly. All her points are correct. But yes, when you call people sinister overlords and have trouble stringing sentences together you look like a mess." Exactly. This is not at all how we want them to act. We want people that are extremely calm. Never ever name call. Ever. Stick to the facts and try to leave the emotion out of it. I don't care if it was your Twitter account they personally canceled, stick to the cold hard facts, or you will never win over your opponents.
    2
  135. That's the thing. They NEVER call out misinformation from their side with the same vigour. Ever.

  136. Great point. When it was silencing the Hunter Biden story the left were all about private company rights.
    2
  137. Its too bad nobody challenged her at all on all of these clear lies.
    2
  138. I wish Canada had something like the Bill of Rights. All we have is a charter of rights and freedoms and I laughed at the trucker convoy when every protest was selling copies of it because the very first line in it explicitly states that if the government doesn't like what you were doing then they can get rid of it. It's literally the very first line. No I didn't think that even Trudeau would be a big enough scumbag to suspend it, but he did and I don't see why it even had to go through parliamentary procedure because it's written right in it that they can revoke it at any time. It's a joke and I hope nobody ever brings it up again as far as Canadians having rights. We also don't have any free speech laws. In fact quite the opposite. We have the only laws in the western world for compelled speech.
    2
  139.  @StopTheWorld65  I never made the connection with being late because of ADHD and hyper focus but that makes perfect sense. The scariest thing for me is being completely ready to go 35 minutes before I actually have to leave. I inevitably get really into something and end up running out the door and speeding to try and get to my destinations.
    2
  140. I had a dentist actually get mad at me because I refused to take pain killers he handed to me after taking out my wisdom teeth. "What if you wake up at 3AM in pain?" "That'll be MY problem to deal with. Don't worry, you've offered them to me multiple times now. You're covered. I won't come back and blame you for my pain". Pain never really came. It was no big deal.

  141. That teacher should be fired immediately. That's disgusting that a teacher will try to advocate drugs for the kids simply because it would make their own life easier. To hell with them.
    2
  142. Tom's message would've been very well received if he would've left out that one line. It was that one line that made him seem crazy.
    2
  143. They would talk about how what Florida did was a deliberate troll and that he used those people as pawns. I guarantee they would not directly answer the question but would instead turn it into one about how the Republicans are immoral.
    2
  144. You actually have a bit of a point there. It's nice when you can actually point to the bad guy and everybody agrees who the bad guy is. These days it's much more subtle but no less prevalent.
    2
  145. He had his chance. RFK or Vivek would both actually do with Trump claimed he would.
    2
  146. The Don Lemon one is the worst because it clearly identifies the whole problem we're facing these days: the left don't think they have an opinion. They don't think they're on the left. They think they are reality. They think that they are the default in it everything else is bad and right wing. They don't even really believe in a left-wing anymore. They just think that they "are".
    2
  147. RFK should've said "would you say that 99.996% effective vs 99.991% effective is "doubley effective, and worth people losing their careers over and people wish death upon them over?"
    2
  148. Stephen, tread carefully when comparing the views of the populace at large with a those of an internet comment section, haha. I agree though that very few people admit they're wrong. It's so bananas that when I concede a point to the "other side" in an argument, they often stammer and aren't quite sure how to handle it. People seem to get even more upset with me if I don't take a strong stance either for or against them. It's the strangest thing. Having my mind changed by a rational argument is actually one of my favourite things in the world. I think it's fun because I know my opinion is consistent with the most up to date information I have and not based in ideology. I actually got yelled at by a SJW because I asked her if she'd read the entire platform of all of the federal parties (here in Canada) before voting. Then I asked if she'd at least read the platform of the party she voted for. She shouted me down and said nobody has time for that. I said it takes one afternoon every 4 years, or an hour a day for half a week every 4 years. Then she got angry some more and changed the topic.

  149. Amen.

  152. Stay politically homeless, my friend. Don't get sucked in by ideology on either side. Take each individual issue as it comes and use your own judgment.

  154. "Tolerance is an elightenment concept". I love this line 9:21, and at 26:55 she nails it on the head. She recognizes that the other side can also say "But THESE are the facts". It's not black and white like people make out. This woman gets it far more than most.
    2
  155. So you disagree that Christianity became WAY more tolerant after the enlightenment?
    2
  156. I just finished watching a Munk debate with Matt Taibbi, Douglas Murray, Malcolm Gladwell. They were arguing if the MSM should be trusted. Malcolm Gladwell I was trying to argue that the mainstream media should be trusted. They didn't even need an hour long debate to prove him wrong, they only needed to show this clip.
    2
  157. Wiki is the worst. Go look up, anyone left doesn't like, and their profile will be all about "controversy" blah blah blah. Then go look up somebody like AOC. Obviously a very controversial figure but you'll see none of that on her bio page. Wikipedia is a disgusting mess, and I only use it for things like finding out the population of a country or how many types of lemur there are.
    2
  158.  @bryceshepardmejia1  thankfully, it looks like the leader of the opposition is going to win the next election, and he seems very pragmatic and reasonable. If he turns out to be what we all think he’s going to be, then our worst days might be behind us.
    2
  159.  @someoneelse1i1i  I was going into a whole diatribe response but then it occured to me we probably agree but are getting caught up in semantics because text is a terrible medium to convey anything, let alone complex issues in a single paragraph.
    2
  160.  Salvatore Luzzatto  I literally see zero difference in the behaviour of the far left and far right. They both operate with the same demeanor, especially online. Just replace the word Trump with AOC or whatever, and the conversations are exactly the same.
    2
  161. I agree with the first part. It's why I'd rather deal with an honest scumbag than a phoney virtue signaller. Hence, I'd prefer Donald Trump to Justin Trudeau.
    2
  162. There are also far fewer hardcore SJW's than we think (and I'm the first to see every problem as a nail in that regard so need to calm down about them too). Just like people whining about "the Jews" (and usually for the stupidest reasons). There are only 14 million Jews on the whole planet. That's such a tiny fraction of the population yet you'd think there were billions of them (and all inherently evil) judging by how much attention they get. Muslims gets painted with the same brush. Only a small fraction of Muslims live in the Middle East yet when you think Muslim you think Arab 10 times out of 10.
    2
  163. That's the scary part. Especially in America where the right wingers are the ones with all the guns and through this whole time they have been largely silent. If they got really pissed off and fight back, it would not be pretty. I hope deep in my heart this never happens and that we return to some sense of reason long before that.
    2
  164. Man, if I had a crazy baby momma I'd for sure set up nanny-cam's in the house she was unaware of and I'd get her abusive behaviour on film. I'd do it for a long, long time and then let the courts see all of the raw footage. If you do that, just make sure to act as your real self though so it you don't come off as some obviously fake guy playing it up for the camera.
    2
  165. Wow. Done the video now and this woman is about as objective and pragmatic as it gets. She's wonderful. I wish more people would take her rational approaches to things. The fact she's Canadian is just bonus fries.
    2
  166.  @pedanpontif  Joe is great. He has all sorts of people on who are all over the map. He has hardcore capitalists on, he's has Bernie Sanders on, he's pretty balanced.
    2
  167. He clearly knows what's up. He's no dummy. These businessmen play the long game so they donate to help themselves. He didn't just give money for no reason. There's much more behind the scenes that goes into political donations.
    2
  168. Imagine having a product that the government pays for, and also pays for all of the advertising for. Actually, they also partially paid for the development of it. That's a tiny little piece of business right there.
    2
  169. She was right, except for the part where she said that they did nothing to provoke it. That's just intellectually dishonest on a level that's beyond belief. Anybody who believes Israel hasn't done anything unjust in their entire history needs to give their head a shake. People want to paint this, on both sides, as good versus evil, as if one side is totally innocent, and the other side is totally guilty. Good versus evil. It's not that simple. The reality is so much more messy and complex but people want simple narratives so they decide to believe the narrative of all of one side or all of the other and it's bananas.

  170. Cent said the quiet part out loud. He just admitted he didn’t want Tim using nuance because right winners might take that the wrong way. And Tim said he doesn’t care and that’s the correct response. Speak your truth and it’s not your problem if other people misinterpret it. You can’t tailor your speech in a disingenuous way in a case of the ends justify the means. That’s my number one complaint about the left. They feel that you can use any tactic in service of your end goal.
    2
  171. Reminds me of those anti-capitalism activists who always make sure they have the latest smart phones and best MacBook Pros while sipping on their Starbucks. And that's just the leaders of BLM who are self-proclaimed Marxists yes stole millions of dollars of donations and bought themselves multiple homes. The world is chock-full of extreme hypocrites.
    2
  172.  @Lisalisa-zt2pw  it blows my mind that's so many companies got together to force censorship on YouTube, yeah they don't seem to have a problem with the view. You're allowed to hate, so long as it's against the right people.
    2
  173. But in Queen Elizabeth's case, it's actually the opposite. She presided over a monarchy that voluntarily gave the colonies their independence. That deserves nothing but praise. She should not be condemned for the sins of her forefathers anymore than you are I should. Education is good but apologies aren't. There is zero chance I would ever apologize for anything I didn't personally do.
    2
  174. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. For ALL sides.
    2
  175. " Austin Katchem 1 hour ago (edited) Democrats love to keep people poor" . Take off the tinfoil hat. Democrats really do believe that their ways will lead go prosperity. They think it's the rising tide effect. You disagree with that point of view and that's fine but that doesn't make them disingenuous. How do you feel when a liberal says that the right just wants to benefit the rich and don't care about the poor?
    2
  176. It's too bad the kid didn't ask him directly about one or two items, or ask him, after providing a few examples "What have you gotten wrong, and when you do, how do you let your viewers know?

  177. Yeah it got a bit nuts when he went down the road talking about Oedipus etc. At the same time I respect him for speaking what came to his mind and not filtering it to pander.

  178.  @RIbigDave  Trump's "crazy" side is absolutely perfect for international negotiations. You want your guy to make their guy a little bit nervous.
    2
  179. RFK would be. He truly wants to drain the swamp.
    2
  180. Saying "they started it" for a middle east conflict is silly. You have to go back millenia to find out who hit who first.
    2
  181. Daily Show alum who I guess has gone on to do other similar things
    2
  182. Yeah, they banned a video urging more research and the carnivore diet. Ted used to be the best. HOW does everything get infected with wokeness? It is absolutely the same as a cancer.
    2
  183. Yeah that was wierd. Call it what it's called on the map.
    2
  184. If Israel wasn't a "holy land" we might be more willing to make rational decisions.
    2
  185. He should've looked her the cameras and said in a soft voice "Yeah, she looks very intimidated by me, doesn't she?" in a Bugs Bunny voice.
    2
  186. She kinda has to. If she admitted she's going with a hoax then she'll be out of a job. She has no choice but to double down on her lie.
    2
  187. This is how virtue signallers migrate towards libertarianism.
    2
  188. That's what true privilege looks like.
    2
  189. Good point. I haven't heard "Grandma" in ages. That used to be the whole thing they'd try to shame you with. Also, what about grandpa?
    2
  190. That sounds good on paper but it's a terrible idea. I read a big thread by an ex army ranger once that explained exactly what that dynamic means and he put up so many really sound points it left no doubt it's an awful idea to arm teachers. I wish I could find it online now but I thought it was a good idea until I read the thread because he brought up what would happen from so many angles a laymen would never consider.
    2
  191. On both sides. It disturbs me to see how many people believe that they were "freethinkers" who basically had the same mentality as those they were fighting so hard against. The virtue, signalling on both sides was disgusting.
    2
  192.  @shadowgray8337  Eww, has he? Dammit, I love his old blue collar music. I found it motivational. Now I see it as a cautionary tale about living in a bubble. He probably honestly thinks that the left is about the working class even though they haven't been for decades.
    2
  193. It’s incredible what percentage of policies hurt the poor the most. I just kills me when those policies are implemented by the people who say that they are the ones who want to help the poor and they call the people who are against those policies are the bad guys who hate the poor.
    2
  194. It's bananas how the media is mostly just an arm of the democrats. It's just as pathetic when a conservative media member fully goes after a liberal. How about just ask questions and record the answers?
    2
  195. Did that seriously happen? Why not debate the guy? Yes that's absolutely taking the cowards way out. If you wanna be president, you should be willing to debate anyone at any given time.
    2
  196. She talks about athletes, getting coaches, and all these different things to give different people a Lyft. Her entire argument basically boils down to "well, those people had an unfair advantage, so why shouldn't I because of my skin color?" That's it. That's the whole argument. It's insane. And because in this case we're specifically speaking about universities University, I would like her to say that to a room full of Asians. Have her tell them that it's OK that she can get in with lower qualifications than them because of her skin color. I double dog dare her.
    2
  197. Ghost Murmur- I listen to and watch as many rational people as I can and I have to say, I can't stand Crowder. I even like Milo but Crowder is too smug for me. Milo is "I enjoy being a shithead", whereas Crowder just comes off like a douchebag who happens to have some good ideas going on in his otherwise douchebag head. It got him attention in the beginning, but he seems more like an ideology 'Murica trumpeter than a rational, objective, evidence based reasoner.

  198. If you found something that works for you, stick with it. Even if you fall off the wagon now and then, get right back on. Congrats on the improved health that came simply from eating better.

  199. I moved to Vancouver during the lockdowns and it's extremely hard to find a family doctor and I had just gotten one during Covid. I really wanted to ask about ivermectin, but I was afraid to bring that up as a new patient. That's where we are at in society now. It's so sad.
    2
  200. Is it that they practice, journalism, or that you just unaware back, then about how things went on? I'm not sure there's much just suggest that corruption in politics in organizations is a recent phenomenon. I'm not saying you're wrong. Perhaps they used to have the utmost integrity, I just noticed that in general, I've been questioning a lot of things lately, and wondering how corrupt they really were back then, just unexposed because we didn't have the Internet.
    2
  201. I was trying to decide what to eat and then went down an interwebs rabbit hole but "cheddar fries" has me right back on track. Thanks!
    2
  202. You can major in this stuff? That’s so wild to me. I never went the academic route, so I’m unfamiliar with it.y entire life I’ve naturally been criplingly objective. all my teachers used to roll their eyes and tell me I should be a lawyer, and my parents were like that as well. I was always taught that the way I thought was a flaw, and that it was pedantic or sneaky or whatever. I never understood it because I always thought that I was trying to see the world as it really was but I was demonized by everybody for it. If I would’ve known, I could get a degree in that, maybe I would’ve gone that route, because been like that since my earliest memories of childhood. What do you study in that course? Methods? People? I don’t even know how you’d study that to me it would be like a fish studying water.

  203. I truly believe Trudeau would be a full out horrible dictator if he lived in a country where that was possible. Thank god we can vote him out here (though somehow we keep not doing that).
    2
  204. I don't know if they just changed their page, but the CDC page as of Oct 7 is actually quite reasonable when it comes to pregnancy. It says there is limited data but so far that data is promising. It does not say anything as "safe". I hate the CDC and WHO and mandates and all of that, but we have to keep a level head about all this. I was actually rather impressed with the CDC page on this (again, as of 2 days after you posted this video).
    1
  205. "Nobody will be safe"? Except the 99+% who survive, I guess.
    1
  206. Same. It's easy to be a tough guy about it when you don't have the literal roof over your head at stake. Some of the other commenters here are no different from the Jimmy Kimmel types. No sense of trying to understand another's predicament. Also back then it was speculation on both sides. Turns out the people against the vaccine were correct but they're way too arrogant about it. We had no way of knowing it was good or bad because there wasn't enough time yet. Now we do. I'm in a way better position this time and now that we have the data there's zero chance I'm getting it again. I'm just thankful that (at least as of today) it hasn't affected me in the slightest. I had mild pain at the injection site for a few hours for the first jab and that was it. I have health problems, but I am extremely thankful that they started a couple months before Covid so I can't have that paranoid part of my brain automatically blame it on the vaccine or the virus.

  207. Even if she means well, covid "misinformation" included many, many things that turned out to be dead right. How does the bill deal with that and most importantly, who gets to decide what that is? How can people not see this is fucking insane? I truly believe these people believe what they are saying. It's beyond belief. She for really reals thinks she can help by banning speech. When has that ever gone well historically? I don't care that she didn't answer this specific question because her answer, if accurate, checks out. If I had a specific bill and someone asked me about something outside of it I'd dodge the question too.

  212. How disrespectful that is to actual slaves (which still exist in 2023). Purposely dedicating your whole life to trying to get into the NFL and make millions of dollars is literally the opposite of slavery. The actual dictionary definition opposite of slavery because slavery is involuntary. I bet he really felt like a slave when he got his first massive payday.

  213. That was my low point. I'm officially out. I don't care about Canada anymore after that. 3rd strike and I'm out. I never ever thought I would say this but I couldn't care less if Canada breaks up as a country. If it does I'm staying in the west. You should look up the voting demographics. The percentage of his vote that came from the greater Toronto area is incredible. Way way way way way higher than Toronto's per capita percentage of the population.

  215. Until very recently us Canadians were laughing how bombastic and crazy American politics was. Now our leader is just as bad as anything you guys have and we are getting polarized. Hey I'm calling the truckers a bunch of Nazis and bigots was absolutely as bad or worse than anything Donald Trump ever said. I'd say worse, actually. Much worse. He's not a good Canadian at all, and we voted for him 3 times, so we aren't good Canadians, at all.
    1
  216. "legally protest"? I hate him with the fire of 10000 suns. He revoked the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to MAKE it illegal. I can't believe Canadians voted for this garbage stain 3 times. I no longer care about my country. If it breaks up, so be it. I have a hard time respecting anybody who voted for this guy. How he can talk about free speech and misinformation, then mention the truckers is breathtaking. He literally pays off the media to be nice to him. He's as close to a dictator as you can get in a democracy. He controls the media which is how most people get their news. He's got his foot on the scale, that's for sure. I wish Canada had term limits. And now he's in bed with Jagmeet Singh and the NDP and they are the only two Canadian politicians who I wouldn't care if they got hit by a truck. I normally would feel sadness if anybody had that happen no matter how much I hated them, but not those two. I feel they are truly evil, evil people and I do not say that lightly. I'm very tolerant with almost all views. I like a lot of people who are very different from me politically, but those two are absolute scumbags. If you listen to him and like what he says, you can go to hell. He's the first person I can think of who I'd lose friends over, just for their opinion. I hope he gets his way, then another party gets in power and silences him and demonizes him into the ground. Now let me be clear: I don't actually want anyone to do any of that stuff, but if it happened to him I would find it beautiful and poetic.

  217. Try finding rational, dispassionate, objective people for both sides of that debate. This guy is as locked into his own ideology as the other side is. I've tried looking into climate change stuff and I can't come to any solid conclusions because both sides come at it with such bias and furor. Ask a climate scientist "How much? What's our percentage of causal? How much of a temperature rise over how long?" and you'll just get yelled at, even though scientists vary wildly in their estimates. If there's that little consensus in what the actual effects will be, don't fucking yell at me when I ask questions.

  219. phjiggs- YES. That's exactly what he's saying. You should never 100% blindly follow anything. Always keep that 0.25% chance they could be wrong in the back of your head. Throughout the ages there have been countless "facts" that have turned out to be dead wrong, and in each of those ages they thought "Our methods are perfect so doubting is heresy". You think in the 21st century we've magically gotten to a place where every single thing we know is "fact" and we will never ever prove any of them wrong? C'mon.
    1
  220. I get what you are saying and I don't think you're 'wrong', but I still disagree. If he pressed people more, he would be creating an entirely different environment. One where people have their feet held to the fire is so different from just giving people a platform and they can have as much rope as they want. The odd time it'll bug me Rubin lets something slide, but then I remind myself that his respectful approach allows more disparate types to want to come on the show because they know they'll be allowed to be themselves, to either lift themselves up or dig themselves a hole. The more I watch the show the more I think his style in the long run leads to the best guests who get to be themselves and let the chips fall where they may. I like he very hands off approach.

  221. "I do wonder though, what value is there to be gleaned from talking to people like this? " -I always want to hear contrarian views to absolutely everything. To deny them is borne of ideology, especially from such a complex topic as climate change. It's not some thing like "Here are 5 bales of hay and if I add 1 bale I'll have 6 bales, and if I add water they'll get wet". It's much more complicated and nuanced than that so yeah, there's a lot of great reasons to have contrarians on. This guy unfortunately didn't really address much and kinda went all ad hominem which sucks because I really want to hear all sides of a debate, and this was almost no sides of the debate because facts were barely discussed.

  222. Desmond - Maybe you need to read his comment again. He's just saying that you can't just go "The other side is wrong and they are stupid and Anti-Human and I am right because I'm right". You have to back your arguments up. Your last sentence is EXACTLY Phil's point.
    1
  223. C'mon man, there's so much evidence that politics plays a major part in science. Just look at all the evidence lately about how so much of published science is not repeatable and in fact, dead wrong. Every scientist will tell you about "what it takes" to get published and by no stretch is it all strictly about "facts". Wins are considered far, far, far more valuable than losses so people will go to great lengths to make sure their study is a "win" so that they'll get published. It's as if people thing scientists are not human and prone to the same human idiocy as everyone else. And what is a "fact"? We have new discoveries that trump old facts all the time. Stop worshipping at the alter of science because that makes you as much of a ideologue as a Bishop.

  224. "Climate scientists are guilty of alarmism" - Thank you! That's why I've never, ever seen a rational, intelligent debate about climate change, and I've looked. A lot. One side says you're an idiot sheep if you believe any of it, and the other side tells you that you're an evil "denier" if you question any of it. That leaves the truly objective in the dark. You never hear both sides. Okay, water levels rise: Is that really "bad" on a planet that is 70% water? The water gets more acidic: do any species benefit from that or do 100% of them suffer? Same question about melting arctic ice. You seldom hear a damn thing about species that are thriving due to it. I honestly kinda think that Mother Nature doesn't give a fuck either way because she abhors a vacuum so she'll fill any voids, and that it's humans who will suffer the most. That makes the whole "We're destroying the planet" argument seem to phoney that I have a hard time getting on board.

How is this even up for debate Dave? You can’t complain about the polarization of society when you make statements like this that actively contribute to it. It’s extremely hypocritical of you because you get really mad when the left does their thing where “you are either 100% with me in every way or you are against me”.

She was getting destroyed in the primaries when she wanted to be the president. There's a reason she didn't make it very far. People don't think she'd be a good leader. She was destroyed by a mixed race female, BTW, a woman who tons of Republicans who were uneasy about Trump said they would vote for. You know, those sexist racists. And according to Jimmy, if Mike Pence has a low approval rating it's because he sucks, or Dick Cheney, but is soon as a Democrat female has a low approval rating or loses an election, it's sexism. Jimmy Kimmel is a gross human being.

And that went away in a day or two. I’m lucky though. Now I’m in a financial position where I can walk away if they mandate it again. It sucks that it has to come to that. I was absolutely not in a position three years ago to say no. I’m Canadian and our garbage Prime Minister had the stones to say that nobody was forced. Well, when they’re literally gonna take away your livelihood and ability to feed yourself, that’s forced. I don’t care. That’s forced.

  242. I'm a safety officer in the construction industry. I 100% with Mike here that the more safety protocols get put in place, the less people are careful. That's why I get so mad when people built ghetto wooden railings in construction. If you have a railing that might not be strong enough to hold you if you fall against it, I'd rather there be no railing at all because then you're more likely to be careful. The more you take responsibility away from the individual, the less likely they are to care in the least about their surroundings.

  256. Supporting him in absolutely inexcusable. I hate politicians in general, but he is the very first one that if you support him I instantly lose respect for you and if you look in depth into what he's like and still support him, like even with this question alone, then I'm done with you and that's not something I ever thought I'd say. I never thought I'd say that I'd lose friends over their opinion of a politician but this is so extreme that it's warranted. I don't want anybody in my life that thinks this is okay. That thinks it's justified to have the PM literally refuse to answer questions to a legit media organization. Even Trump, who hated the media, would answer questions from them all (unless that's wrong and if it is then Trump was a coward too).

  257. Accountable? He was elected 3 times. The Canadian people have unfortunately spoken. I know that in actuality, only 1 in 5 Canadians cast a ballot for him last election but that was still enough to get him in power. It would not shock me if he won again. This country (and by that I mean the city of Toronto) is garbage. Outside of T.O. he received almost no votes.

  258. "they don't come any more evil than Trudeau" Easy now. He froze bank accounts and compelled tow trucks to tow big rigs, he didn't literally line the protesters up and shoot them, as would've happened in countless countries over the last century. (then again I literally wouldn't put it past him if he had the authority to. I do think he's evil deep down but thankfully we live in the democracy so we'll never know).

  259. Minimum wage is the area I disagreed with Thomas Sowell the most about. I absolutely feel that if you put in 40 hours a week, you should be able to have a roof over your head and food in your belly in the area you live in. It should be a bare-bones existence, but you should be able to pay for the basic necessities of life if you're putting in a full work week. Going out to restaurants to eat? Nope. Having subscriptions to all of your favourite streaming services? Nope. Having money for vacations? Nope. But I feel that you're putting in enough effort and contributing enough to society that you should be able to at least sustain yourself. Minimum wage should get you a room rental, food, clothing and a bus pass. It should be able to get you that within a few miles of where you work. You shouldn't have to undertake an insane commute to get to work because you can't afford to live in the area. Any business should be able to support the people who live within a few miles of that workplace. You shouldn't have to be stressing out at the end of the month because your bills are higher than your wages. Minimum wage jobs are minimum scale so they should've forward you a minimum existence, but an existence nonetheless. Where they lose Me is when they talk about having to support kids or whatever. Don't have kids if you can't afford them. End of story.

If you are getting paid and I'm not, don't tell me we're in this together.

They wanted you to lose your livelihood or worse, and now they act like nothing happened while they say the same words.

  263. Trudeau in Canada now says nobody was forced. Losing your livelihood, being barred from much of regular society, and not being able to visit your loved ones is not "forced"?

  281. This guy needs to understand that it's not a bad thing that Star Wars is a "brand". If you direct a Star Wars movie, you are not a creator, you are a tool and that's okay. It's not your goddamn story. Creatives often get too precious about their own vision. Write and direct your own thing if your voice is that important to you. What's funny is he sort of contradicts himself because the first guy to come in and try to put his own stamp on it, Rian Johnson, fucked it all up and Bret agrees, so I'm not sure what his point is. Fans want Star Wars, not 75 different takes on it. It's already established. Same with Marvel. They keep making money because people want to see it. That's not a bug, it's a feature.

  297. The craziest thing about all of this woke stuff is that they are half right in that white men really are in most of the positions of power, yet it's these same idiots who are promoting the idea that white men should step aside based on race alone. I've noticed not a single one has offered themselves up as tribute, though. It's like those phoney people who say that humans are a virus and you shouldn't have kids or you shouldn't have too many kids because the planet's overpopulated. They think they are too many humans yet they don't off themselves. Why not? If you are a virus, shouldn't you get rid of yourself lest ye be a hypocrite?

  304. It drives me absolutely insane because I'm a Canadian I got rejected for a work visa many years ago and I've been hearing more and more stories of people with degrees. You get rejected from going to America yet somehow these people get to go in like nothing. It makes my blood boil. I had a job offer from an American company that recruited me out of Canada and I was told no. I have a friend who was born in Canada but both of his parents were American and because they didn't sign a piece of paper for him before he was 25, even he got rejected after being recruited by an American company and he went down and picked out an apartment and everything. I don't see how you can see it is anything else but a purposeful invasion meant to destroy the country. That sounds absolutely completely tinfoil hat crazy but you provide me with another explanation. Tell me why middle-class people with no criminal record who already had a job offer were rejected yet. These people could come in by the literal millions and it's perfectly OK and there are massive efforts to get them work visas, and a path to citizenship. I'm absolutely open to any and all suggestions because the idea of a planned destruction or invasion sounds completely nuts

I’m in the trades and we have to wear proper masks and respirators for things all the time so I’m used to it. I can’t stand cloth masks and I can’t stand mandates but that doesn’t change the facts. The harm done by wearing an N95 went out and about is negligible.

Never had an incident in any capacity. Let kids learn to manage risk instead of being afraid of everything.

As long as he's being honest about it, that's reasonably upstanding to me.

This is the world we are living in in 2023.

Maybe not as wide spread or as deep but absolutely in many places masks were mandatory, and many businesses were forced to stay closed and others had restricted hours etc. He makes it sound like the whole concept of what we are doing now came from some 14 year old and hadn't been thought of before.

  351. I just looked up the Trump University scandal and all I saw were claims of fraud etc but not actual meat. Maybe it was a bit of a scam but so is 1/2 of the university system. I thought it was some crazy scandal involving bribery and sexual abuse and full out fraud or something. That's WORSE than the VPOTUS's son selling daddy's influence? Good grief. The rest of the interview was him talking about how you have to be measured. I kept thinking about his TDS. He even said people think he has it, but offered zero evidence he doesn't. 1-3% of people are literally psychopaths but he said pretty much anybody, anybody at all would be better than Trump? He is a very smart guy but he needs to get a grip. His meditation isn't working. Same with covid. I wish I could hear the questions behind the paywall. I guess I could for a small fee. Perhaps I will because he seems very, very, very "the ends justify the means" when it comes to authoritarianism, yet that's his biggest beef with Trump. I don't get it.

  352. If this interview was shortened to exclude all of the Trump stuff, he totally does come off as intelligent and trustworthy. If that side of him is all people see, then it's not surprising that really like him.

  365. The rape thing is insane. Even rapists aren't OK with rape. I can't imagine there is a rapist out there who would not be bothered at all if their Mom or daughter or sister or grandmother that they liked got raped. They just chose to do the thing that they fundamentally don't like, for their own situation and their own reasons. With the exception of somebody who is absolutely literally insane, I guarantee that if you hooked up a polygraph to rapists and ask them if rape was OK, the results would show "no". What's even stupider, is that I said "for their own situation and their own reasons" and I had that knee jerk reaction of "oh, that is something that could definitely be taken out of context and twisted so maybe I should word it differently". Fuck. That. That is a hill I will die on. Changing my language, even though I'm not actually saying anything wrong, to please the outrage mob is a line I just can't cross.

  375.  @ishanloomba788  "I am wondering, why is that responsible for certain racial disparities?" When the civil rights act passed and many programs came in that created the "Welfare State", single parent households took off in the black community and outcomes became way worse, oddly enough. It's a great example of "No good deed goes unpunished". Thomas Sowell is an old black economist who grew up poor and has such sensible takes on it. I know his very name rattles many people on the left but I don't know why. He's as rational and decent as they come. Look him up. (FYI, I'm completely politically homeless. I couldn't give a rats ass about being left, right, up, down). Cheers!

  376.  @ishanloomba788  "Are mothers not as capable as fathers at raising kids or something? What is the causal relationship between the two?" The biggest factor is simple economics. If mom is able to stay home, there is always a guiding, nurturing figure around. Next best is two parents working and providing for all the necessities, and in both cases the child gets a balanced understanding of masculinity and femininity etc. But when you get to a single working mom who doesn't have the resources nor time to give the kids their best possible environment, plus the missing hole of the masculine side of life, it's so tough. And to go through all that and try to be a positive, happy, caring mom would be unbelievably hard. Kids need security and balance, and it's hard to raise a family on a single income these days. Did you grow up in a household where money was tight, or non existent? I did and it NOT a good environment. Simply put: two parents can provide more resources of time/money/diversity/balance in the household and all 3 of those things are a positive. And it's not a conservative talking point. It's something that's extremely clear when looking at the data. Two parent household provide better outcomes (of course there are plenty of outliers, but they're just that. Outliers).

You only have to be into personal responsibility and you used to have to be into food fiscal policy. That one went out the window though.

To what end? That control doesn't benefit them in any way. How is come hardcore evangelist christian's life improved if they can control a woman's body? They never even try to give an idea.

To be honest I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she just worded that poorly, but it blows my mind that people like Elon Musk talk about how we should have more open free speech, and these leftist media ideologues somehow spin that into Elon musk being a danger for free speech. It's such 1984 doublespeak.

  404. Nobody gets punished for anything. 2008 financial crisis? No accountability. The government leaning on big tech to censor views they don't like during Covid that turned out to be 100% accurate? Nobody cares that it's a violation of the constitution. It's extraordinarily rare that somebody huge actually is held accountable for anything other than sexual misconduct.

  405. I’m not down with it. It’s just a propaganda poster. Unless it is directly threatening someone, leave it up. If it just says something like “free Palestine“ or whatever, you have no right to take it down. The right was furious when people took down the posters of missing Jewish people at the beginning of this, so doing it the other way around is hypocritical. Students are blocking a building? Send in the National Guard and drag them out by their hair, I don’t care. But just making your opinion heard is what free-speech is all about. Don’t be hypocrites. And I wouldn’t even put “from the river to the sea“ posters in that category because we’ve seen enough interviews of people at those rallies and they literally don’t know what that means. Most of the people of these protests honestly think it’s just some Kumbaya message about people not being oppressed. Don’t fall down the trap of “rules for thee but for me.”

  406. Why does nobody ever ask these people if they are specifically OK with murdering innocent people. I mean without letting them get away with saying whataboutisms. Why does nobody ever ask if they specifically support the specific thing that happened? And if you are American, but you don't identify with America, and instead identify with a foreign country, then leave. Get out. Go "home".

  408. I’m in Canada and our immigration is absolutely out of control. It’s a vicious cycle. You bring in more people so there’s more money and more demand for goods and services so then you complain that there’s not enough people to fill the job so you bring in more people to fill the jobs, and that just makes it worse.

  409. I love they convoy and have been to protests and also donated, but I gotta say the little kids in the audio is wrong to me. I don't think little kids should be part of any protest ever. Let them join a protest when they are old enough to decide on their own.

I was wondering why I really liked him sometimes and hated him other times, but that's the only subject. He has any intellectual honesty about. Whenever any of these guests try to get him to be specific, he gets petulant. PBD asked him specifically to name one thing Gavin Newsom did that made California better and Bill couldn't name a single one and got frustrated. I'm losing almost all of the respect I had for Bill as time goes on.

  415.  @darylfoster7944  I've lived near a zillion homeless, and been around them and talked to them. Never met a single straight edge homeless person who wasn't an angst ridden teen who could go get picked up by daddy's Jag at any time. I've often wondered what society would've been like if getting high wasn't a thing, like if human physiology didn't interact with the plant kingdom in a way that messes your brain up temporarily. If getting high wasn't a possibility because it was biologically impossible we'd still have down and out people but I wonder how many. My heart breaks when I encounter homeless who are clearly mentally ill.

They bitch about a lack of housing, but won't make it easy to add supply, and in fact to fight inflation the gov't is purposely crushing the housing market right now so nobody wants to build anyway, yet they still whine about needing more housing. These are highly paid grownups making these decisions. It's unreal.

  424. What's crazy is these people don't believe that they have a point of view. They believe that everything that they believe is reality and everything that everybody else believes is misinformation. As this video shows, they truly don't think that there's anything wrong with the media spouting all the governments talking points. How can they not see how insane that sounds? They would lose it if a right wing government did the same thing. I absolutely guarantee they would call it propaganda. I'd bet my life on it.

  425. What's sad is it has come to the point where I immediately assume that whoever a government like this shits all over is probably correct. You notice they never argue based on empirical data and facts and reason, they always go for the emotional argument about how bad the protesters are in general.

  426.  @DM-dk7js  "Wait what’s wrong with the educational institutes?" I'm in Vancouver Canada and I just took a walk through a high school economics room that literally Woke ideology on every wall. It was nuts. An economics classroom should be teaching children about economics, and the different schools of thought on economics (like Austrian versus Keynesian etc). Yet every wall had leftist talking points like there was a poster on privilege and of course it showed white people at the top even though this school was overwhelmingly non-white. Way to alienate a minority population in your school. It had a poster about climate change that was factually incorrect. If you were going to have propaganda, at least have correct information on the wall.

  429. The comments are below is correct. If you took away the metropolitan Toronto area votes Trudeau got, he wouldn't have come within a country mile of getting elected. And even then, our voter turnout isn't the best so literally only one in five adults you see walking down the street actually voted for him. He keeps getting reelected even though he has lost the popular vote. Notice how in America they lose it that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote and lost the election, but you don't hear a peep about how the same thing happened in Canada and nobody on the right was crying foul about it. They just accepted that that's our rules and it is what it is. I live in Vancouver which is pretty far left, and Victoria, which is our provincial capital, is insanely far left. I mean ridiculously. No blue collar area comes anywhere close to voting for him. He gets annihilated everywhere outside the white collar major urban centres. I truly believe that after how he treated the trucker convoy he would've gotten destroyed in an election, but I fear that people will have forgotten about that by the time the next election rolls around. You can call an election whenever you want in Canada so two years into his four year mandate they called a snap election in the middle of a pandemic and won. I think every single person that voted for him isn't absolute scumbag. If you didn't research him, then you shouldn't have voted, and if you did research him and still voted, then I think you are a terrible person. I never ever ever thought I'd say that about somebody just based on their vote, but this guy is literally an insane authoritarian. He suspended our charter of rights and freedoms to combat a peaceful protest that he literally refused to engage in any capacity. The government never once met with anyone. How does that happen in a democracy? Imagine an American president suspending the bill of rights because of unbelievably peaceful protesters? The truckers very deliberately went out of their way to not leave garbage, to clean the streets of ice, and to be good to the neighbourhood other than honking their horns. They want to protest vaccine mandates and the Prime Minister called them racist and misogynist. Even if that was 100% true, but still has nothing to do with their message. The fact Canadians went along with it discussed me and I do not care anymore if this country breaks up. I never thought I would say something like that. I've always been a proud Canadian. Not anymore.

  431. I get what you're saying but these days you and I know that doesn't apply anymore. In America the press secretary literally said in a press conference you can find on YouTube that the American government directly "suggests" to the big tech companies what they should censor. The government is not allowed to do it directly so they tell these giant corporations. In the Netherlands as well as Canada and Australia etc., there also is state run media. England as well. Every one of those is very much left leaning so you can't tell me that this guy really truly is advocating for an actual Free Press, because he is saying this to a room full of people who have the same agenda. He gets by on a technicality as you say, but you can carefully word almost anything if you are shrewd enough to get yourself to the technical get of jail free card. How I back my statement up is the fact that every time a news outlet says something that goes against the government's narrative, they cry "misinformation" and often call for the media to stop doing it..
    1
  432. Absolutely. These days it goes beyond the media. Big corporations and the education system are all in on it as well. Right in their pockets at all times people are still getting their propaganda. The Germans couldn't have imagined such a thing. They couldn't have imagined people being addicted to social media that pushes their message.

  433. I'm Canadian and our CBC and media is insane. Justin Trudeau recently refused to answer a question specifically because Rebel news asked it.. Are you kidding me?

I never thought in my lifetime that the media would turn into what we heard about from the old Soviet union. Literal constant lies, despite what is right in front of our faces. It's the strangest thing.

You're letting your ideology seep in here. I don't care what side of any protest you are on, kids should be on the sidelines watching, learning, forming their own opinions. They are not qualified to tell the grown ups how to act. Would you let her run the economy? Would you even let her run a science department at a university? Of course not. She's not qualified based on simply not being on earth long enough to have a comprehensive understanding of whatever she's talking about. Pro/anti/whatever. I don't care what side of what issue you are on, having someone who's under 25, which means they don't even have a fully formed brain yet, telling you what to do is insane. She can have an opinion, and can be heard, but for that oscar worthy, condescending performance to mean anything she damn sure better have a degree or two and some real world life experience. Otherwise it's just virtue signalling. I feel the exact same way with every complicated issue.

  444. National Geographic had a great article on women in Iran and it did a great job of outlining how it's not so simple. The women there said they want progress, but to do it themselves and slowly. They want to nudge things in the right direction instead of having the west come in and hammer in a "solution" from an outside source. It's a very nuanced thing.

The two that aren't joy, nor Whoopie seemed like they were just reading from a script and didn't care at all about the words coming out of their mouth. Offer me the same cheese and I'd probably sell out until I got mine too. Can't blame them.

Damn sure he was high priced lawyers on retainer. Does he want 100% open borders and open trade? Does he was people to work 75hrs a week in a mine with no safety equipment? Doubtful. Everyone wants SOME governmental intervention. Nobody wants businesses to literally be able to do what they want.

  448. We're already there in Canada. Trudeau froze the bank accounts of people involved in the trucker protest, and during Covid you couldn't say "Hey Canada, you do you. I don't want covid restrictions so I'm going to get on a plane and go to Florida". You couldn't fly on a plane or get on a train etc if you weren't vaccinated, and the US land border was shut down. You couldn't just leave like a normal free citizen. It was absolutely nuts. I NEVER thought I'd see something like that.

  449. Yeah he's a total ideologue. I like him and think on the whole he's good but he has blinders on for the pitfalls of his ideology. He's the type who thinks "My team all good, other team all bad". A digital currency doesn't literally mean America is communist. Coming from a guy who has so much private property, that statement is bananalands. Still, I think move people need to hear what he has to say and Rich Dad was an incredible book.

No smoking, no drinking, no junk food. Peaches are expensive, bananas are not. Prioritize. And the Rich Dad book is $16. Anyone can afford a $20 book if they sacrifice eating out, or they buy rice instead of cheese type deal. How bad do you want it?

  455. He didn't invest in the stock market, so he thinks he's above it? He says he didn't invest in the stock market and says "I didn't have to". Well lots of people have become multimillionaires from the stock market but he makes it sound like it's something for the peasants even though there are lots of people who made their money in the stock market who could buy and sell Robert with the change they find in their couch cushions.

  456. Is Robert a capitalist? It's hard to tell, haha. Man he's in deep. Deep enough that he's an ideologue. Like when Dave said "Money talks, but corporations are losing billions going woke.

The guy with gazilions of dollars of private property claiming the system is communist. Okay bud.

  462. I like the mayor's response, except for the part where she claims complete innocence. That's what disgusts me so much about both sides in this conflict. They paint it as good versus evil is if one side is perfectly virtuous in every way, and the other side is completely evil and they can't figure out why. That's intellectually dishonest. It's gross, and almost everyone is doing it including Dave. Stop it. If you believe that, this is 100% good versus evil, then you have bought a narrative. Full stop. You are a victim of propaganda. Reality is so much more messy and nuanced than you wanna make it out to be.

You've known the size of the airborne particles for a long time. You've known how particles of a given size carry when airborne. This virus isn't something alien that we just have no comprehension of. It's an extension of what we already know but every time things go sideways they're like "Well gee, how were we supposed to know?" as if the virus has changed, or the transmission of viruses has changed on a fundamental level.

  482. Yup, and it was awful. People complained about "The Last Jedi" because an agenda was tossed down our throat. Notice how Rogue One also had an extremely diverse cast, and the bad guys were white, and the protagonist was a girl, and nobody complained? That's because they cast "people" instead of "specific types of people" and it worked. It was seamless and nobody cared. It was an obvious agenda. If they did have one, they hid it well because it didn't hit us over the head with it.

  485. Pride is the worst. If you take pride in something you didn't personally have any hand in, then you're doing it wrong. It's cool to cheer for your country's team at the Olympics blah blah blah, but pride in your skin colour or your country is awful. It's how hatred happens. Be proud of what you've earned. Be happy to be associated with a group of outside people or historical people, but that's different than pride. Pride is the cause of most of the world's problems.

  497. What bothered me about Don lemon was that he used the word back. Paid back. There's not a person alive that was a slave so you can't use the word back. Something has to be taken from you in order to be paid back. And I love how she talks about the soldiers that died fighting to end slavery. Shouldn't those families be paid? Those people made the ultimate sacrifice, on behalf of other people. They were on the side that benefitted and they still went to war and died over it. That's the very definition of hero yet they still are vilified and so are their ancestors because of their skin color. Racist people like Don lemon are so gross, as well as everyone else who believes that racist narrative. How they can get away with overt racism like that is unbelievable.

  501. I’m sorry but I don’t see anything wrong with her original statement. They’re absolutely are tons of people that are only in jail because they can’t afford bail. She’s correct, so what’s the problem? People with money who did that same crime would be out on the streets for the time because they could afford bail. The way it was set up. I was expecting her to be making excuses for crazy, violent criminals or something. and maybe she’s a complete idiot, but that clip is not evidence of that.

She seems to take things personal when question, and just comes off as arrogant and smug, yet with a governmental equivalent of penis-envy. She seems like the type of cartoon supervillain that spreads her arms and looks to the sky and laughs while she collects lighting bolts to shoot out at the masses.

That's exactly the same as saying that all white people hold racict views even if only subconsciously. And Dave, saying that this was an attack on America, because some of the people that were attacked on foreign soil happened to have been. American is completely insane. It's literally incorrect on every level imaginable. Unless they say that they attacked specifically because Americans were there, this is not an attack on America in any capacity whatsoever. These guys are acting like partisan tribalists, nothing more. I scrolled a decent ways down and literally every single commentor is against you hear Dave. I really hope you delve into the comments on this one or look at the fact that it has nearly 100,000 views, and a little more than 5% of people gave this a thumbs up.

  512. I'm on the other side of that one. I simply can't understand how it's bad for someone to say "Let me shut my mouth until I have all the facts". That's not the same as saying "Lemme wait and see if I think targeting innocent people at a festival is okay". We don't need to immediately comment on things we have no control over.

  513. There's no solution when everybody in the region thinks that dirt is "theirs". We need to stay completely out of this conflict.

  514. Biden literally kicked off his campaign with this same claim, which is NUTS because it couldn't be easier to debunk. The video in its entire tea is up on YouTube. Twitter wouldn't allow Scott Adams to post that it was a hoax that he said that there were very fine people on both sides, and in that post he had the link to the actual press conference which proved his point. Yes those words literally came out of trumps mouth, but they also literally come out of the mouth of anyone who quotes him. The fact that words come out of your mouth doesn't mean anything unless you have the context. If Jesse Jackson technically says "I hate black people" but said "....and then you had this racist John Smith who you can hear right here in this clip we are about to show you say "I hate black people" and it sickens me....", you can't turn around and say Jesse Jackson says he hates black people. That's not how logic and reason work.

If you were living paycheque to paycheque and had three children's mouths to feed, it's not about your integrity. It's about feeding your children. The people who look down on those who took the jab through coercion, are most likely the types who didn't have nearly as much to lose. If you had been in the military for 30 years and it's all you knew, and it's where your pension was and we're all your friends were, and you were told you lose all of it. If you don't get a job that the vast majority of people feel no ill effects from? You're taking the jab. The one aspect of the vaccine that's so many don't want to recognize is that for the vast majority of people it was neither here nor there. It's not like it wrecked everyone who got it.

He works with his own children and even one of his ex wives, and turned his current wife into the First Lady. What a dismal failure. You can't buy your way into the white house, nor can you bully people who are already wealthy because they don't need you. I think you need to rethink your arguments.

  545. "Likewise, is it right to tax same money twice?". Hmmm. You mean because it just sits there and doesn't appreciate or do anything, but then gets taxed again? I see your point because it's not like it was invested in anything, but I guess I'd have to say that from the perspective of the dead person, they've already paid taxes on it so it's free and clear for them, but the recipient just gets a windfall, so for them it's a new windfall gain so it's technically "new" money to them so it's not really being paid twice on the same money. (and for reference, I think gov'ts suck balls and are money grubbing cocksuckers, haha) Speaking of taxing the same money twice, I'm Canadian and here if you buy a brand new car you pay tax on the full value, then you sell it 2 yrs later and that person pays tax on the new depreciated value, and so on down the line. The gov't may get tax money 5 different times on something that's already had the tax paid on it, plus you pay extra fees when transferring ownership so it's for damn sure not meant to cover actual costs. Strictly a money grab. You don't pay taxes on a used air compressor, so why a car?

  546. Conflicted on the "death tax". You're dead. You paid tax on that money, yes, but the person eventually receiving it, just receives it. It's still income to them. It's basically a risk-free capital gain, so why shouldn't you be taxed on it the same? I don't think people have a "right" to the money someone else earned without their help, like your kids or whatever.

Right now you're doing the exact same thing the people who criticize Trump for January 6 we're doing. They were reading into a narrative that may or may not be true.

  552. Talking about it targeting one person was such a gross question. Lots of legislation is in response to what a person did. she answered that very poorly though. She shouldn’t have insulted anyone or went on a rant against the radical left. She should’ve just said that legislation gets enacted in response to things that happen. That’s how legislation works, and we don’t want men in women’s bathrooms. That’s not anything that should be even remotely controversial and controversial wouldn’t have blinked an eye at this 10 years ago.

He allowed Fauci to trample our rights, and if you think all that stimulus, which led to inflation which led to all these problems, wouldn't have happened under Trump, I disagreed.

He banned trans people, yet he's the first president to ever be sworn in supporting same sex marriage. It's a perfect example of what a oddity he is. He has some really good ideas and says some things that needed to be said, but then he'll go off the reservation and say something batshit crazy that even his staffers didn't see coming. He's a super interesting man. I just wish he'd slow down on the idiocy because it completely overshadows the good things and ideas about him. Like all people, he's not all good nor all bad. Oddly enough he was a Democrat most of his life, so there's that too.

  558. 11:50. A zero tolerance policy? That's pretty harsh, and this rhetoric sounds exactly like the Woke people. Yeah you don't want a slow creep and I agree, but his language is so similar to theirs. Extremists only attract other extremists. Also, who decides what's proper progress and what's Social Justice? Gay rights were once considered SJW type territory so it's a blurry line. I hate Wokeism with the fire of 1000 suns but we can't be so hardline about it. 30:50. No Dave, they don't know they are lying. Do you really think DiAngelo literally thinks she's wrong and she's just playing a con? Hell no. She thinks she's on the "right side of history". Even the televangelists didn't think they were wrong. They weren't athiests. They just knew they were being hypocrites. That's different from not believing in the thing itself.

  559. What bothers me the most is not that they want people to get vaccinated. I completely understand why they would. What bothers me is the fact that this is presented as a good versus bad issue. On both sides. Quite frankly Dave I don't think you give them enough credit. You act like the only thing they want to do is control you. I understand the reasoning on both sides, I just wish more people did. I personally come out on the pro freedom side of this because I don't hear them trying to ban fast cars or alcohol, and both of them killed thousands of innocent people a year. I think it's gross over reach to tank the worlds economy etc over a virus with such an incredibly high survival rate, especially since what happens in seven years when a really bad one hits? We've already blown our financial load and are going to be completely fucked.

  560. Not sure how to feel. 12th grade? You can't teach literal adults about all matters sexual? I think sex ed is important because let's be honest, most parents give a pretty shitty birds/bees lesson. It's biology so schools should teach it, and it involves sexuality which does include attraction (obviously). How do you teach that without acknowledging that different people are attracted to different things? I don't think the trick is to ban it for middle and high school students, but to teach it honestly and without it being woke BS propaganda.

I would love to be able to switch provinces to somewhere that more aligned with how I think while remaining in Canada. I can't though.

There's no way to misinterpret that. That's a direct denunciation of both communism and socialism. FFS Dave, what were you hoping to hear? Would nothing short of "Fuck those commie cocksuckers right to hell!" suffice? Man am I severely disappointed in almost all the commenters. You guys act exactly the same as people with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Joe Biden says the very thing you want him to say and you still shit all over him.

  570. To be honest, that was the one thing I wasn't that upset about. I was initially outraged, but then I looked into it, and it turns out that to get these medical procedures. You have to be vaccinated against this, that, and the other and always have. I didn't think it was a big deal that they added one more to that list because it seemed consistent with what they already did. Now that I know about the vaccine injuries and stuff it's a little more nefarious, but I still "get it" in so far as it was consistent. That policy should definitely be dropped because of what we now know. Of course they won't because then that calls into question the entire safety of them, and that's a different story, and all I really was saying was that initially I understood why they would've made that rule, and it didn't really bother me.

  573. The open racism allowed these days is so shocking. An NHL team is donating part of their jersey ads to "local, black owned businesses". It's crazy to me that you are fully allowed to discriminate every race save for one. Publicly and openly. What about the children of Japanese families that were detained in World War II and had their business is stolen from them? Did they get any love? And if they did, where would it stop? It's insane that the people saying "Hey, let's treat everyone the same because we didn't do that before and it was not good" are somehow the racists. I thought all of this type stuff was illegal in most places. Am I wrong about that? Would it be simply controversial, or outright illegal of it was for white owned businesses?

  580. I hate to say it but I don’t think this will work. In fact I’m sure of it. Jordan’s making a fatal mistake with this movement because he fundamentally misunderstands people’s attitude towards religion in the west. He doomed it by linking it so tightly with God. That was a massive massive blunder that I can’t believe he made. He absolutely could give parallels to religious teachings but he put it at a one to one ratio and unless he hasn’t been keeping up on current statistics, the Almighty is not as cherished as He once was. I had high hopes for his conference but I think he doomed it to a niche place where people get their hopes up but little comes of it, not unlike a feel good self-help seminar. I cannot emphasize how gargantuan a mistake that was. It will not work. I assumed he was smart enough to understand that the way to win people over is to meet them on their terms. Meet at the areas of agreement. There are few things where people have less overlap than religion. The percentage of people that will immediately dismiss this because it’s so tightly linked with religion cannot be overstated. I desperately hope that was just for this audience and has nothing to do with the wider message or it absolutely will fail. I’ll bet my bank account that a religiously tied message will never in my lifetime garner widespread adoption in the west.

  581. Is that she went South of the border and gave a speech where she very explicitly told people to not come to America. She told them to not get involved in these caravans and come, yet now that they're here she's acting like it's what she wanted all along? Typical two-faced politician.

  582. The border is secure. 2 million people crossed it illegaly. The border is secure. This person is going to be the leader of the free world if Biden has a stroke. Yikes.

  583. I love this conversation but I have to push back at 41:49 . Of course when you search for straight couples, gay couples come up. That only makes sense because the search for "straight" couples only makes sense in the context of gays. Since hetero is the norm, if you search for "couples", straight couples come up. Nobody is tagging their photos in the metadata with "straight" unless it's a photo from an article about homosexuality. This isn't one of Google's SJW idiocies. It's just logic.

  584. I don't watch MSNBC. Did they at least admit that they are as liberal as fox is conservative? And this is too on the nose. They are literally hiring the mouthpiece, the spin doctor for the sitting president. I can't wait to hear her proclamations on her first broadcast about how she will be fair and honest and objective. Fox should back up the Brinks truck and offer her anything she wants to come on and tell the truth.

  585. JD, meet this man. Seriously. The fact he still has to so careful with his words is so sad. He seems amazing. I hope he goes on to great things.

  586. How are people this dumb? He thinks that in the short term it's best for governments to have dictatorial powers to do. What is "needed", and then they're going to just give up those powers? How was this not laughed out of the room decades ago? That is so patently, absurd, and literally, the entire history of humanity is a testament to how absurd that statement is yet somehow, this guy gets taken seriously by world leaders. Is he the new Epstein? What does he have on people that they pretend to believe this nonsense?

  588. Arrest? For what? He has no official power. Governments go along with his ideas willingly. How can you arrest him for that? Be mad at governments going along with him, but he himself hasn't actually done anything "wrong". He just has stupid ideas that are followed by stupid people as far as I can tell.

  589. 7:43 You're against the high housing prices? That sounds like you want government regulations to come in and do something. That's different from how you normally sound, Dave.

  590. Of course they won't be held accountable. They aren't stupid. They did this with the help of lawyers to make damn sure they did it in a way that can't get them legally in trouble.

  592. 11:25 "blaming israel" is a very different thing from condoning what happened. Both things can be true. I'm getting really irritated that suddenly we're pretending that Israel is some angelic entity that is innocent as a newborn baby holding a kitten under a rainbow. I think it's OK to acknowledge that Israel has also done awful stuff and certainly has done stuff that can justifiably provoke the anger of Palestinians, while also believing that what Hamas did was absolutely reprehensible. I'm getting really sick of every single outlet completely ignoring why Hamas did this. It did not come from nowhere. I understand it core to their belief is that the Israelis should be driven into the sea, but under no stretch, should we pretend that Israel is completely innocent? Just once I want to see an outlet discuss what the actual grievances Hamas had are, even if it's to debunk them totally. I want both sides of every story. I don't care if one side is absolutely righteous. I'm Canadian and I donated money to the trucker protest and I went to several of them. To my core I supported them, but I would never want to see a news article about them that was biased in our favour if it completely ignored what the government position was. Honestly explore all sides to everything.

  593.  @NancyK-cu6xj  It's funny how people argue over which candidate RFK is stealing more votes from. That alone means he's CLEARLY the best choice. Both sides like him. He was an environmental lawyer and is a friggen Kennedy, plus he tells the lefty establishment they are awful. How can you not love the guy?

  594. It’s as stupid as the green new deal. I refuse to take anything even remotely seriously, or anyone who says it, if the thing that’s being proposed is literally impossible. Where are they going to get one dollar homes? Are they willing to go that far into debt that absolutely means certain death for the city? Of course not. They should be left out of the room and never allowed to return. Adults only.

  595. If people in your family tree fought for the north to end slavery, does that factor into it? I’d say if an Ivy League student today can get benefits from something that happened to their ancestors even though they made out just fine in the end, then we have to make adjustments for the people who fought and died. They didn’t even get to have ancestors if they died before having kids.
