  1. 21:00 What is he talking about? In 1918 there were lockdowns. 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.

  2. That sounds like one of those quotes that's misattributed. I very highly doubt he ever said that to anybody who would've repeated it.

  3. He has both, or at least did with covid. I don't know his views now.

  4. It's OK to have takes that I disagree with, I just don't like how some of these very smart people have takes where they cannot see the other side even though it's an opinion based thing and not a factually based thing.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. At the end of it he talks about meditation and psychedelics that make you love the world, and objective reasoning, but I noticed he never talked about being humble because absolutely nothing about him comes across as humble at all.

  8. Of course he's intelligent enough to know gaslighting. He openly admitted during this interview that he was OK with the media silencing the Hunter Biden thing and calling it fake.

  9. Viruses exist. About every four years we get a new one that has the potential to get big. It's not a matter of if. That part's not some conspiracy.

  10. These are the same people who support the current president who opened his campaign would be easily demonstrably false claim of "very fine people on both sides". I really hope Ron runs for president because the absolute last thing I want is Trump to run/win again and increase all his polarization and nonsense. I think Ron could actually get a lot of people to realize how crazy a lot of this stuff is and maybe get people to settle down a bit.

  11. She says that, but then talks about how black people must this, and black people must that. She kind of talks out of both sides of her mouth a couple times.

  12. Explain Warren Buffet. He has only a small handful of employees. He just buys and sells stocks. He has nobody to "skim".

  13. This is the same Justin Trudeau, who publicly admitted that he doesn't talk to Rebel news because he doesn't like them. He openly refused to talk to you, the only major media outlet in the country, who he didn't give money to. This man is evil, and everyone that supports him needs to give their head a shake.

  14. Justin Trudeau truly believes what he's saying. He's so brainwashed that he has become the brainwasher without even knowing it. He doesn't come across like someone who's playing a role. I honestly think he believes what's coming out of his mouth because he's so stupid. He lacks all ability for critical thinking. I would feel sorry for him if it wasn't messing with my life, making me hate him with the fire of 1000 suns.

  15. Yeah Don, lecture a guy from South Africa about racism. South Africa had REAL racism until much, much more recently. I promise you that Elon Musk understands what racism is.

  16. I think it's way more "infantile" to think that somehow "adults" shouldn't wear baseball hats or watch superhero movies. Why on earth would you deny yourself something that brings you joy and hurts nobody? That's ridiculous. If you want to wear water wings and a pink tutu at the supermarket, then have at it!

  18. Bill is a lot like Piers Morgan. 75% of the time they speak out against the machine and the other 25% of the time they are The exact thing they mock the other 75% of the time. It’s so crazy to me. Hey Bill: you just admitted that Roseann thought she was making a joke about a white person and you still say it was racist? That is a departure from objective reality. That’s not what the word racist means. At all.

  19. 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.

  20. I wanna see the GPA of the person who first thought this up.

  21. So Chicago got a whole bunch of new racists and misogynists since she was last.......DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED?! It's like how people said white supremacists got Trump voted in, as if a half black man didn't win the previous two elections. Were all those racists on vacation both times? And that's ignoring the fact that most immigrants are not white.

  22. I never hit me unitil right this second but having Trudeau lose to a guy named Pierre would be the cherry on top. @sarawinardi6745

  23. And why is that?

  24. I actually think John Stewart was good back then. Are used to go after everybody and I thought he was clever. Now he's an absolute clown show. He got his PP whacked by the left, by his own admission, after he went on, Stephen Colbert show, and said that obviously, the virus came from Wuhan. After getting torched, he has fallin in line with everything. I don't think you're giving old Jon Stewart enough credit though. He didn't go off the rails as bad as Stephen Colbert, but he's still awful now.

  25. Good for you. Changing is what required for us to grow as human beings. Don't ever stop changing when new, better information is presented to you.

  26. But it's a fucked up totem pole because the victim culture WANTS to be on the bottom. It ironically puts them on the top at the same time.

  28. Only 20% of the worlds muslims live in the middle east. The rest of the world has few problems with muslims. Ipso facto: you're talking about a fraction of a fraction. That doesn't mean the whole culture is okay with murder.

  29.  @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!

  30.  @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).

  31. Levitt would rather be golfing. Dubner would show up for sure though. I love all 4 of the people so I'd be all over it.

  32. "We are not that far away from gladly putting to death anyone who no longer wants to live, no matter their personal circumstance.". So you feel you have the right to take away somebody's bodily autonomy? YOU get to decide if they live or die? Talk about playing God.

  33. I"m blown away at how many people bristled at that simply because the bible has a few select kind lines. You all ignore the countless historical examples of Christianity being incredibly oppressive. If I beat you into a coma with a book, I can't turn around and say "But the book I was citing has these lovely words in it"

  34.  @thewhiskeycowboy-official  Not ironic at all. She did talk about it around the 40 minute mark. It's surprising that such a large percentage of the comments are people triggered by the religion talk.
    1
  35. 40:40. Sorry she doesn't talk about exclusively that one topic for a whole hour, but this talk 100% does address it. Just because you are triggered by religion bashing doesn't mean anyone was trying to mislead you.

  36. You mean to say that for the average person, they'd find daily life in a Christian society more tolerant 100 years before the enlightenment vs 100 years after it? Methinks you wouldn't.

  37. You disagree with one thing she says so you cut her off? How open minded of you.

  38. "Just because "the Church" disobeyed scripture doesn't render it null". Yeah it does. Your logic is like when people say communism isn't bad, it's just the people who implemented it who are bad.

  40. Anthony Hopkins in a old role was questioned about putting an untrained women into a CIA sting operation. He says something like "She has to lie, manipulate and steal. She's a woman, she has all the training she needs". I wish I could remember the movie because I want to watch it again.

  41. "Conservatism comes from Absolute Truth, thus "God" being part of that is key. The fact that people such as Heather can take/accept the values/good fruits from that tradition, doesn't change the necessity and existence of those absolute foundational aspects." Except that there are plenty of conservatives who aren't religious. Ipso facto: it's not necessary to be religious to be a conservative. 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.

  44.  @markbrown9765  And it's not like they have the money tucked away in a Scrooge McDuck vault. It's almost entirely in the value of their stock. That exact same share could be sold and bought by me tomorrow. Because I own it the taxes are different on it? Makes zero sense.

  45.  @mambi74  Yeah, he asked for a specific plan broken down by cost. They did not provide so Elon didn't provide. Too bad the MSM didn't cover it like they should've. He straight up exposed what lying grifters they are and the media put on the blinders. Gee, I wonder which side THEY are on.

  46. To be fair, nobody understands the risks of running against, and thus ensuring Donald Trump will get elected than Hillary Clinton.

  47. I've never understood the thing about "they want control over women's bodies" thing for 2 reasons: One, female conservatives (especially the religious) are also largely on board, and two, why the fuck would anyone want to control women's bodies? 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. What's the end game there? Assholes like AOC have been shouting this for ages but never actually say what that agenda might be for.

  50. What's interesting is that some of the same people who claim there are no differences, also say that the trans athletes are taking hormone therapy so that should negate the differences. Which is it?
