False Prophet Alert: How Gibberish Tool Jordan Peterson Gaslit a Generation
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Excuse me.
Let's wake up.
Everybody get up.
Get up!
Friday morning, 1225.
Come on, everybody!
Get your ass up.
Get on over here.
Hope everybody's doing groovy.
I'm gonna talk about some people who just I don't call it gossiping.
I call it...
Sometimes I think there are people, interestingly enough, whose life, whose presence brings me great joy by virtue of the fact that I, and I use the word hate too much, but I despise.
And when I despise people, it's a good feeling.
It's not a negative feeling.
It's not a bad feeling.
It's not a, I don't know what the word is.
It's just, it's fun.
And this morning I was looking through my various things and I get reacquainted every now and then with Facebook.
Facebook is such a strange thing because it's there and I don't really follow it.
but in any event, I'm looking through Facebook and lo and behold I see somebody I used to work with who is a complete and total asshole.
I mean he is just such an idiot and we never He's not really a boss in any event.
So, he is an absolute jerk.
Let me see.
He is a jerk.
Okay, there we go.
And I haven't seen him in a long time.
And when I looked at him, It made me feel like, what an asshole.
Still this smug and arrogant and one of the most stupid people I've ever met.
And interestingly enough, I thought to myself, you know, I know theoretically I'm supposed to say that that's negative and, you know, I shouldn't be thinking that.
But in a very strange way, it brings me a great source of happiness.
It makes me happy.
I get a sense of happiness by pointing out what a jerk this fellow is and what a complete and total asshole he is.
And, how do I say this?
It's important for us sometimes to realize, just like Gore Vidal did it, that there's a certain degree of happiness, a certain degree of...
Does that make any sense to you?
It is okay to hate.
And we're going to use that word hate.
You know, despise, abhor.
But do you hate somebody?
Do you have somebody?
When I say hate, somebody whose presence makes you crazy.
For example, mine is, of all people, Jordan Peterson.
Jordan Peterson.
As always, and I've said, is so full of shit.
And FOS is a different category.
There are stupid people.
Piers Morgan, he's the clown.
He's the person who kind of figures out how things work.
There are people who are seemingly smart, but act stupid.
Kim Kardashian, she is as smart as it gets by virtue of how they have parlayed this.
There's Sal Angelo, Jordan Peterson, Cedrullo.
He's a Cedrullo.
Absolutely.
But what I'm trying to say, perhaps circuitously, is that it gives me a great sense of happiness for me to sometimes revel in how I despise him.
And some would say, no, that's negative.
No, it's not.
First of all, he's a phony.
And there are people that I hate more than anything else.
People who are full of shit.
It's the worst.
It means full of shit, bullshitter.
I have an entire piece.
I've taken every version of the word full of shit and the like.
shoulder shit, shoulder ape shit, bat, whatever it is.
And they've put them all, And they're the most wonderful gradations of whatever.
So Jordan Peterson comes across.
And he is a phony.
And he's also, as my friend loves to say, he is a suedo intellect.
He's somebody who, for whatever particular reason, has just slipped through the cracks.
And has bamboozled people into thinking that he is possessed of something by virtue.
Of this gibberish nonsense, this absolute nonsense that he has been able to portray for the longest time.
And I don't know how it works.
I don't know how he ever fooled anybody.
And now he's into either he is an atheist or he's not.
And there are these wonderful people that I have followed who I think are very, very smart and very, very interesting.
And they are, um, They're very, very fascinating.
I want to bring you to one...
He's very, very good.
And his name is...
And I'm going to bring this to your attention.
His name is Oh, this is good.
Jordan Peterson.
I was just watching him today.
I was also watching my good friend Roseanne on Piers Morgan.
That doesn't come through very well.
Here's a fellow I like.
Cosmic Skeptic.
Have you seen him?
Cosmic Skeptic is terrific.
His name is Alex O 'Connor.
And Alex O 'Connor is very, very smart, but he is full of shit.
And he is brilliant.
But he uses and parlays that British accent stuff into this false sense of British language.
So he just destroys, and I agree with him 100%, destroys our friend, what's his name, Jordan.
And the reason why is because...
It's one thing I've learned about radio.
You meet some of the craziest people in this business.
That's all I'm going to say.
I'm not going to name anybody in particular.
So, I find this fascinating.
So, anyway, on the way over in the car, I was in a car.
You know that old car smell?
Have you ever smelled it?
It's not dirty.
It's somebody, it's their old car.
I don't want to say anything.
Look, take me...
But as I'm in this old car smell, I was just watching and thinking about Jordan Peterson and how he was able to parlay this.
I saw his name on Radio City Musical.
Radio City Musical.
And I cannot believe how anybody would pay money to listen to a word he said.
Especially those people who I think are looking desperately for some kind of Answers to things.
I think there are people who are trying so desperately to find answers.
And they look at him as some kind of a prophet, when in fact he's not.
Now forgive me, my dear friends.
I'm trying to get my iPad coordinated, so I know you were very, very kind in...
So I'm going to try my best to get to this.
Where do we go?
How do I get to this?
Hang on a minute.
Let me see if I can do something here.
I'm going to try my best.
Because I want to jump in on this.
And I can't do it.
I hate when people try to explain to you what they're doing.
But trust me, I know what I'm doing, but I can't explain why I can't.
I can't log it.
I hope everybody's doing great today.
This is my Friday.
This is my weekend.
This is my end of the week.
Isn't that great?
And I am loving every bit of it.
I'm loving this.
It's been a very good week today.
Today, Mrs. L and I have got a big day.
Oh!
We're going to go to Stu Leonard's and pick up some corn.
We're going to go to Costco and pick up some more coffee.
This is my coffee.
I know you're not supposed to like this, but Pike Place.
Pike Place Roast.
The best coffee there is.
It's the only coffee I go for.
I don't like Starbucks.
I can't help it.
Pike Place Roast, we get a box of 72. 72. Can you imagine that?
72. Let me try something.
Maybe it'll work if I try something else here.
Anyway, how's everybody doing?
Peterson is as dangerous as Jim Jones.
I don't think he's dangerous.
Jim Jones was a legitimate cult leader.
Jim Jones did some pretty terrible things.
The point is that many of you, dear folks, need some kind of guidance.
You need guidance.
You need help.
You need somebody to bring up.
You need, kind of like others, and I'm not going to bring this up, but you tend sometimes to need, some people do, the Bible.
Or God.
Or, you know, whatever.
And I'm not, listen, to each his own.
But what he does is, he's a pseudo-intellect.
And he loves to deliberately, Sam Harris does that to an extent too.
People who love to deliberately create the illusion of somebody who is smart.
Now anybody who's smart that I've ever met, you just know they are.
And they don't have to tell you.
And they feel very good about who they are.
And they don't feel the incessant need to repeat the fact that they are smart.
They don't have to tell you this.
You just kind of know it.
Like George Keene who said, Lionel sent you a super chat.
Thank you, George.
I'm still trying my best buddy.
I'm trying to get I thank you for that my friend.
I'm trying to log on because I can't when I put my phone on this I can't go back in and I can't I don't know how to tell you this.
So I'm going to try.
That's why I'm desperately trying to talk to you and do this simultaneously without sounding like an idiot, which is what I'm doing right now.
I sound like a complete and total idiot.
And I don't mean to.
So just bear with me, dear friends.
Bear with me.
Let me see here.
Here's videos.
View all.
There he is.
Sal Angelo says, I've had trouble sending super chats.
Am I being censored?
I don't believe so.
I just saw that one, my friend.
And by the way, Sal, thank you.
You're a good man, Charlie Brown.
Gerald, see I can't, I'm trying desperately to get on this phone because I...
Let me see if I can do this.
Because I can't answer you.
Hang on a minute.
Anyway.
I'm getting to the bottom of this, by God.
By gum!
Let me see this.
It doesn't work.
Home here, it doesn't work either.
You know, I have this...
Let me see this.
YouTube.com.
Let me try this.
Let me see if I can do this.
Let me see if this works out.
Wait a minute.
We might be on to something here.
Let me try something here.
We might be on to something.
If I just go to plain old YouTube.
There we go.
Let's see what happens here.
There we go.
Hang on a minute.
Hang on.
We might have some good news here.
Hang on.
See, I should have done this ahead of time, but I didn't because I was so excited to talk to you that I missed the whole point.
And, hey, hey!
Here we go!
All right!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This is terrific.
There we are.
Well, let's go through this.
This is fantastic.
We're going to go back to the basics.
First of all, Sal Angelo said Jordan Peterson, Thank you for the super chat.
George Keene said, El, you're the catcher from Rye.
Get it?
Get it?
You are so funny.
Thank you.
Also, George Keene says, Lionel sent you a super chat.
Thank you so much.
Sal said, I'm in trouble.
No, we got that one.
George Keene said, I smell funny and have no friends.
Just kidding.
You should have a Phony of the Week segment.
I'm writing this down.
Phony of the Week.
Here's another one too.
You are a thousand percent more prepared than Ted Cruz.
That is true, sir.
I also wanted to show you something which is interesting.
I did this.
I put together this wonderful piece a while back.
And it is an ongoing update.
And it's, I think, and I can say this, and you know me, I'm not gratuitously profane, but I love the word.
I think shit is the most volatile, the most versatile word there is.
Shit is the most versatile word there is.
It is And I have put together a word of a variety of words of just the use of the word.
Now I'm going to read through this and you're going to think that you have...
And I'm going to read you.
All the variations of this.
Shithole.
Bullshit.
Horse shit.
Ape shit.
Bat shit.
Chicken shit.
Jack shit.
No shit.
Dip shit.
Full of shit.
Scared shitless.
Shitstorm.
Shit house.
Brick shit house.
You're shitting me.
Shit head.
Shit for brains.
Dumb shit.
S.O.L.
Shit out of luck.
Shit faced.
I shit you not.
Good shit.
That's Carlin.
Don't know shit from Shinola.
Shit a brick.
Take or give a shit.
You can take a shit.
You can give a shit.
Big difference.
Shit or get off the pot.
I'm the shit.
Shit or wind your watch.
Shit or go blind.
Shits and grins.
Shits and giggles.
Eat shit and die.
In deep shit.
Shit hit the fan.
Shit's going down.
Crazy as a shit house rat.
Shit on a shingle.
Hot or cold as shit.
Hot shit.
Shit's creek.
Shoot the shit.
Shit for brains.

Okay.
Now, believe me, you're going to be writing something right now.
You're going to say, oh, shithole.
And I will have said it.
I don't think I left anything up.
By virtue of what I did just now, by virtue of what I did, I enjoyed this prolific nature of the word.
And I think it is because the F word is to me the most unimaginative.
There's no sheer versatility.
And I love explaining the various gradations.
John Jelaine says, it is a word that is simultaneously an antonym.
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know what you mean by that.
An antonym meaning the opposite of that?
That's very interesting.
I'm going to ask a chat GPT why this is so.
And this is a subject which, by the way, I'm going to tackle on WABC.
But I'm not going to use the word.
Antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word.
Hot, cold, fast, slow, light, dark.
I don't know if it's best in antonym, but that's a very interesting point.
But it is the most prolific word.
And if I were to teach somebody who came to this country And by missing the boat, you're not going to understand what is happening.
George Keene says, Happy to see you are almost at 300,000 versus 176.
Oh, I know!
And I was doing greater.
And then these numbers go up and down.
It's the strangest word.
I just did a piece, George, thank you, with, with, And the numbers went down.
I'm thinking this is weird.
Because he's very, very popular.
And he's coming in on a million.
So I don't understand.
Look, you don't want to push the point too much.
Sin says, one of my pet peeves, the gratuitous use to the point of absurdity of the F word.
Yes.
See here's the thing.
If it Somebody said the other day, we were talking, and I said, hey, are we going to go someplace?
He goes, fucking A. There was nothing gross about that.
That is a legitimate, absolute word.
And I think Jordan Peterson would have a hard time with that.
I started off with this thing of Jordan Peterson.
I don't know if you're ever going to get to it.
Jordan Peterson is just full of shit.
That's where they started.
I don't know.
Don't try to...
Could you get on the gaggle with Pete and George?
I have been.
Yes, indeed.
I have been.
Indeed, I have been.
Recently I was on, I think we did, I think we did Crosstalk.
I think the world of them.
I'm also finding out that people, when it comes to the issue of Palestine, there's such insincerity.
There are people who are going out of their way to explain it.
Let me tell you what I heard the other day, which is very interesting.
If you came along during the time of Slavery.
Would you give slavery a kind of a look, of a perspective?
Would you give slavery a look?
If you were describing, for example, if you were describing,
let's say the time of the end of slavery, would you find yourself Listening to or hearing the point of view of the slave masters?
Or do you think they have anything to do with it?
What people are doing to the Palestinians is just, it's disgusting.
Gordon, I like that George says, Gordon Peterson, you should make a personality the way you want to portray a Jordan person.
Yes, Jordan P. Cutup says, it seems, folks, I thought sensible on every cider.
Making less sense all at once.
Making insane turnabouts.
Are we witnessing mRNA brain damage?
I don't know.
I don't understand how people can understand that the Palestinians, irrespective of what, have been treated barbarically, barbarically, and absolutely positively deserve to be accorded Human rights and the like.
Fishman says, why don't white Irish people have a special day?
They were still slaves after blacks were freed.
Yes, that's also a very interesting thing.
I asked, I was on last time on WABC, by the way, we're going to be starting in about 12 minutes, on 77 WABC or WABCradio.com.
And there was a fellow I talked to, and he was a black man from Chicago who's gay.
And I said, you're black?
I said, Did you ever get any trouble for sounding white?
And he said, wow.
I said, no, be honest with me.
You know what it's like for people who, I think all of us can relate to this, People who are absolutely, positively, inordinately handsome or beautiful.
If you're...
I've only seen it one time.
He could walk into a place and women would just go crazy.
We were having lunchtime and women would drop off their cards with their phone numbers.
I never even think this existed.
And he was like, yeah.
I said, do you ever get tired of that?
He says, yeah.
Because it's obnoxious.
It sounds at first as though it's great, but then people think you're almost like, you know, like women must feel who are bothered Ooh, I will do this.
Lincoln's cottage.
By the way, do you think President Trump's acting okay?
Be honest with me.
Somebody pointed out the other day, they said, do you think that Melania's holding his arms too much?
And I said, I don't know.
See, the man is entitled to be, you know, if he's pushing 80, he might slow down in certain areas.
Do you think that maybe, did you see the 180 he did regarding Iran?
He goes, oh, you don't want to wait two weeks.
Because I don't want it to go the way of North Africa.
Who's advising you?
Is he okay?
I know I'm all over the place with the questions, but is he okay?
Is he okay?
I mean it.
I know you're going to say, oh, yes, I love him.
I know, I know, I know.
But is he okay?
Do you think he's acting okay?
Or is he acting a little, a little, a little shingat?
Do you notice that?
Sean says, yes, he's okay.
Absolutely okay.
How do you know he's okay?
How would you know he's okay?
They talked about his hands doing bluish.
He has something called purpura, which is for older folks.
George Key says, so concerned about DJT, George W. Bush had team approach.
Yes, he did.
I don't know about Trump's team.
I love the guy.
He's been talking to Jordan.
The question I have is very simply this: Do you think Do you think people would dare say?
I had somebody suggesting maybe there's some stiffness in his gait.
Maybe he has some kind of a brace or something.
I didn't see this.
People were telling me this.
My only concern about him is not his mental capacity, the people around him, the people who claim to be his advisors.
And also, when you get to be 80, look, let me ask you something.
Men and women, What was the first thing you've seen?
Who tells DJT when he is off track?
It's a good question, George.
I don't know.
Answer me a question.
Men and women, what's the latest thing you've seen where all of a sudden you say, hey, I must be getting older.
I'm seeing this.
When you get older, you see things.
I'm at the stage where a lot of my friends joke about not being able to remember names, but...
I'm not at that point yet because I don't know how critical remembering names is.
But have you noticed where all of a sudden you'll see, "Hey, this is sagging.
Hey, I've got a crease here.
Hey, be on the lookout for this thing." This is something that when you get older, everybody gets this to an extent.
This is called platysmal dehiscence.
This is when the platysma, the sheet of muscle here, becomes separated.
In this thing.
People get it.
You want to get upset over it?
Go be upset about it.
Everybody gets it.
How's Judge Jeanine doing as D.C. U.S. Attorney?
I think she's doing very well.
Another one I think was doing very well is Alina Haber in New Jersey.
But what have you noticed?
Don't sell blue meth, please.
I don't know what methylene blue is like.
I have no idea.
Too much pressure plus doesn't trust anyone will drive a person mad.
The skin starts looking weird.
That's right, sin.
Your skin, you will lose an area.
See how your hands start to get that older?
Because you lose this layer of fat underneath.
Yeah!
It happens.
Men, how many men have ear hair?
Do you wash your, do you ever shave your, Don't ever shave, but ever trim your ears?
By the way, I've got to stop this.
Can you believe how much we've talked about so far?
This has been the craziest conversation.
Everything from shit to this to the F-bomb to this to Jordan Peterson to hairy ears to skin.
I love it.
I hope you love this too.
