Jordan Peterson's Bizarre, Delusional New Joe Rogan Interview
Author and psychologist Jordan Peterson appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast this week and failed to make sense on a number of topics. Peterson has a way of speaking that many find captivating, but when you dig into what he’s actually saying, it’s often just a bunch of nonsense. For example, Peterson said that “there’s no such thing as climate. Climate and everything are the same word.” It appears as though Jordan was making the argument that progressives view climate change to affect other topics, which they undoubtedly do. But he believed this to not be possible because, “if it’s about everything, your models aren’t right. Because your models do not and cannot model everything.” Later on, Rogan and Peterson went back and forth about how white people are actually shades of tan and black people are actually shades of brown in what was a truly childish conversation. So many of the Peterson acolytes say that those who don’t understand him just aren’t smart enough to pick up on what he’s saying. But there’s an alternative explanation, which is that so much of what he says really just doesn’t make any sense, and that he’s just able to deliver it in a pensive and confident way.
BREAKING: DOJ Confirms Probe Into Trump Bogus Elector Scam
The Department of Justice confirmed yesterday that there is an active investigation into the fraudulent electors that tried to vote in the 2020 election on behalf of Donald Trump. Rudy Giuliani and others tried to get an alternative slate of electors to vote for Trump in various states around the country that Joe Biden had won. The idea was to then deliver those alternate votes to the US Capitol so that Mike Pence could accept those instead, or simply choose not to accept either slate of electors in the contested states. Either scenario had the possibility of upending American democracy and delivering Trump the win. US Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco told CNN, “in terms of fraudulent elector certifications . . . our prosecutors are looking at those and I can’t say anything more about ongoing investigations. But more broadly, look — the attorney general has been very very clear. We are going to follow the facts and the law wherever they lead to address conduct of any kind and at any level that is part of an assault on our democracy.” It sounds like “any level” refers to even a former president if applicable and that sounds absolutely appropriate in this case.
From yesterday’s show:
Sarah Palin Has COVID, Would Get Vaccinated "Over Her Dead Body"
Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, caught COVID after proclaiming that she will get a vaccine “over my dead body.” Palin tested positive for the virus, which has forced a judge to delay her civil suit against the New York Times. The case is now set to begin in February. This is the second time Palin has had COVID, with the first time being last March. This previous infection is what led her to believe that she didn’t need to get vaccinated. It’s something she bragged about with Charlie Kirk at a recent Turning Point USA event. The Times reports that Palin dined indoors at a Manhattan Italian restaurant over the weekend. This is something the business should have prevented her from doing, since New York City requires restaurants to check for patrons’ vaccination cards. Apparently, Palin thinks these rules don’t apply to her.
From yesterday’s show:
Newt Gingrich: Republicans Will Jail Trump Riot Committee If We Win 2022
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on Fox News over the weekend that Republicans should look into investigating and imprisoning those who are currently serving on the January 6th committee. Gingrich told Maria Bartiromo, “I think when you have a Republican Congress this is all going to come crashing down. And the wolves are going to find out that they’re now sheep. And they’re the ones who . . . I think face a real risk of jail for the kind of laws they are breaking.” Gingrich is not running for anything in 2022 but he remains an influential figure in the Republican Party. If he got his way, the people looking into why one of the most atrocious events in recent American history happened would be put behind bars. This is just another layer in the authoritarian slide the Republican Party has gone down over the past few years. Not only did many of them want to end democracy in the United States by installing a losing candidate, but now they want to jail those who were successful in putting a stop to it.
