Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1131 Scott Adams： How AI is Already Killing Us, Reframing Racism, Pelosi and Biden Gaffes, Word Salad Criticisms, RBG Stuff

00:00:00.280 Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum. Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum. Bum bum bum bum bum bum. 1.00

00:00:08.320 Hey everybody. Come on in. Come on in. It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:14.640 Definitely the best part of the day. I know it is for me. That's actually true.

00:00:19.500 I like this hour we spend together better than most parts of my day, I gotta say.

00:00:26.620 And the only thing that could make it even better would be the simultaneous sip.

00:00:31.800 That's right.

00:00:32.520 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stye,

00:00:36.880 and a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:39.940 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:41.580 I like coffee.

00:00:43.180 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:46.760 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:49.680 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:53.080 Go.

00:00:55.880 Ah, hello, Northern Colorado.

00:01:01.040 Good to have you in the house.

00:01:03.460 So it seems to me that it's a little bit slow in the news department today.

00:01:10.640 And when I say it's slow in the news department, I mean too slow.

00:01:15.420 I mean suspiciously slow.

00:01:18.820 I mean there's something brewing.

00:01:22.340 Something's going to happen today, maybe tomorrow.

00:01:24.900 But there's some big stuff coming.

00:01:29.640 There always is, so that's an easy prediction.

00:01:35.060 So here's some of my favorite stories of the day.

00:01:38.440 One of the things that endears Trump to his base is that he says out loud the things you're not supposed to say out loud.

00:01:49.060 And I may have taught you at one point that a really good technique for persuasion is to say out loud what you know somebody is thinking,

00:01:59.660 but they have not yet said it.

00:02:01.800 And if you get it right, it forms this little bond and you go, oh yeah, when you think things, same thing I think.

00:02:08.640 It just connects people instantly.

00:02:10.400 It's one of the most powerful persuasion techniques I have ever used.

00:02:14.380 And the president did a hear with, what did you think the first time you heard that Ruth Bader Ginsburg's deathbed wish had been translated, I guess, to a daughter?

00:02:29.880 And it said there was her fervent desire that her replacement was picked by the next president.

00:02:35.580 Now, when you saw that, was there any part of your brain that said, I don't know if she really said that?

00:02:47.440 Because it would be pretty easy for the family to make something up, if you know what I mean.

00:02:54.580 And who knows how coherent she was in her last hours of life.

00:02:59.360 So the president actually called BS on it on his interview.

00:03:05.480 I think he was on Fox and Friends this morning.

00:03:08.000 And he said, quote, I don't know that she said that.

00:03:12.720 Or was that written out by Adam Schiff, Schumer, and Pelosi?

00:03:17.760 Now, I don't think that they wrote it out.

00:03:20.560 But the fact that he called the bullshit to it.

00:03:23.580 Now, I'm not saying it is bullshit.

00:03:25.320 Because it's entirely compatible with the things she said before.

00:03:30.680 It's entirely compatible with what could have happened.

00:03:34.240 But didn't you wonder a little bit?

00:03:37.620 You wondered.

00:03:38.580 You know you did.

00:03:39.840 You wondered if she really said that.

00:03:42.440 And when you hear Trump say it out loud, you just say to yourself,

00:03:46.440 OK, there you go.

00:03:48.780 He's thinking what I'm thinking.

00:03:50.400 I feel comfortable with that.

00:03:51.640 Now, I think he was just, you know, stirring the pot a little bit there.

00:03:57.580 I don't think he necessarily believes that she didn't say it.

00:04:01.700 But it's something you could be skeptical about.

00:04:05.020 I think a reasonable person could be skeptical about that.

00:04:10.060 Did you see the weird Pelosi interview with Stephanopoulos?

00:04:14.880 Stephanopoulos, you can see it in my Twitter feed and anywhere else.

00:04:21.480 Just Google Stephanopoulos and Pelosi.

00:04:24.460 And it looked like she went crazy or her brain rebooted or something.

00:04:30.620 But that's not what happened.

00:04:32.700 What happened was she tried to make a joke, but she didn't land it.

00:04:36.660 It was just awkward.

00:04:38.260 And so since you couldn't tell it was a joke, you didn't know what it was.

00:04:42.040 And what happened was Stephanopoulos asked her about what weapons, basically, that she had

00:04:49.940 to deal with Trump's desire to nominate and confirm a new justice.

00:04:57.020 And she didn't want to answer what tools or weapons she had at her disposal.

00:05:02.140 So she tried to change the subject, but to do it in sort of a coy, cute, clever, somewhat whimsical and funny way.

00:05:11.100 So when he asked the direct question, what arrows do you have in your quiver,

00:05:16.840 she just looked at the camera and said,

00:05:19.520 Good morning.

00:05:22.200 Sunday morning.

00:05:24.420 And you could see Stephanopoulos' face as he hears it.

00:05:28.780 And he realizes that he doesn't quite know what's happening.

00:05:32.320 And you could see his face just dying a thousand deaths on camera.

00:05:39.500 So you have to watch that.

00:05:41.220 And the way to watch it is to first watch Pelosi.

00:05:44.500 But then after you've watched it one time entirely through, watch it a second time,

00:05:49.360 but only watch Stephanopoulos' face.

00:05:52.540 It's pretty funny.

00:05:54.120 Trust me on this.

00:05:54.940 It's pretty funny.

00:05:55.840 I saw a tweet by Naval Ravikant, who said that all social media oligopolists, not just TikTok,

00:06:11.180 should open their recommendation algorithm to scrutiny.

00:06:14.480 So now Naval is calling for the algorithms to be opened up for scrutiny.

00:06:21.300 That would be your Twitters and your Facebooks, etc.

00:06:24.660 What do you think of that?

00:06:27.760 Well, here's what I think about it.

00:06:31.460 I said the other day, I said that at the very least,

00:06:35.900 at the very least, TikTok has to open their algorithm because it's aimed at children.

00:06:43.040 And if children are going to be brainwashed by some technology,

00:06:47.740 I think the parents have a right to look around in that algorithm and see what the code says.

00:06:53.880 Maybe not personally themselves, but having somebody who knows how to do that, do that for them.

00:07:00.940 But Naval takes that a little bit further, and I think completely reasonably,

00:07:06.880 that adults are being brainwashed too.

00:07:12.120 And if adults are being brainwashed by this technology,

00:07:15.780 shouldn't we have the right to see what it is?

00:07:18.080 It's sort of like going to the doctor and the doctor says,

00:07:21.900 all right, here's a pill, take this pill.

00:07:24.000 And you say, what's that pill for?

00:07:26.400 I don't even feel bad.

00:07:27.680 I was just here for a physical.

00:07:29.860 I'll just take this pill, just take this pill.

00:07:32.380 No, I'm not going to take the pill because I don't know what it does to me.

00:07:36.420 I don't know what's in the pill.

00:07:38.140 And by the way, I'm not sick.

00:07:40.780 I just came in here for my annual physical.

00:07:43.700 And the doctor says, take the pill, take the pill.

00:07:46.480 Would you take that pill?

00:07:48.480 No, of course not.

00:07:49.780 Of course not.

00:07:50.920 The pill will change you in some way.

00:07:53.400 You don't know how.

00:07:54.920 The doctor isn't telling you.

00:07:56.900 That's not a pill you will take,

00:07:58.760 especially when you don't have any need for a pill.

00:08:01.160 You're not sick.

00:08:02.580 But with social media, we're also not sick.

00:08:05.660 We go to the platform, and we're kind of taking the pill

00:08:08.520 because the algorithm is kicking in.

00:08:12.020 It's starting to guide us and brainwash us,

00:08:15.160 and it's literally rewiring our minds,

00:08:18.380 and we don't know what it's up to.

00:08:22.000 We could probably feel something happening,

00:08:24.720 but we don't know where it's going

00:08:26.240 and what the path is there.

00:08:30.300 So I would echo Naval's call for this to be open.

00:08:36.180 At the very least, you need some kind of independent group

00:08:40.900 that can look at it,

00:08:42.060 but I'm not sure we could ever trust an independent group

00:08:44.860 because they would end up being owned

00:08:47.380 by the big companies indirectly.

00:08:50.020 So yeah, I think it just needs to be opened up.

00:08:53.200 Now here's the scary part.

00:08:55.360 You ready for this?

00:08:57.060 Scary part coming.

00:08:58.360 I have put my stake in the ground

00:09:03.200 and said that the artificial intelligence, AI,

00:09:07.080 already controls humans,

00:09:09.520 and that if you're worried about,

00:09:11.420 hey, someday in the future the AI will control us,

00:09:14.380 you don't need to worry about that

00:09:16.240 because it already happened.

00:09:18.620 Now, you can worry if you want,

00:09:20.720 but it already happened.

00:09:22.460 And could we do anything about it?

00:09:25.580 Would the AI ever release its grip?

00:09:30.720 Now here's what I mean by the AI already controls us.

00:09:34.240 Now the way an artificial intelligence thinks

00:09:38.300 could be quite different than the way a human thinks.

00:09:42.000 For example, if you looked at IBM's Watson

00:09:46.360 or was it Big Blue or whatever it was,

00:09:49.200 whoever it was that was playing chess

00:09:51.280 against the chess champions,

00:09:52.900 it didn't think the same way the chess champions thought.

00:09:57.080 It did it by brute force.

00:09:58.600 It would just calculate every possible move

00:10:00.960 and then pick the one with the best odds.

00:10:03.420 So a computer thinks different than a person,

00:10:06.680 but it can still be thinking in its own fashion.

00:10:10.220 And it seems to me that artificial intelligence

00:10:13.360 gets employed in lots of different fields.

00:10:17.060 Most of them are just tools.

00:10:19.100 Hey, that's useful.

00:10:20.200 I figured out how to do a, you know,

00:10:23.240 figure out traffic better or whatever.

00:10:25.780 But in the specific area where AI helps you make money

00:10:30.760 because your algorithm is better,

00:10:34.280 it's feeding ads better, et cetera,

00:10:36.520 in that case, the AI really controls the people

00:10:40.540 because the way we've formed our corporations

00:10:44.620 is they have to pursue profits.

00:10:47.920 It's a requirement.

00:10:49.080 And if the managers of a corporation don't pursue profits,

00:10:53.240 they get fired and they're replaced with somebody who does.

00:10:57.360 So as long as the algorithm, the AI, if you will,

00:11:01.420 and profits are now linked,

00:11:04.500 at least for the social media companies,

00:11:06.580 you can't untangle them.

00:11:08.500 That's their whole business model.

00:11:10.100 So as long as that's the case,

00:11:12.180 the AI will drive the business model,

00:11:15.220 which will drive the human beings,

00:11:16.660 and effectively it already owns us.

00:11:18.740 So here's my prediction.

00:11:21.860 If it's true that AI already owns us,

00:11:25.820 we will never have access to the algorithm

00:11:28.600 because the AI will prevent it.

00:11:31.520 And the way it will prevent it

00:11:34.540 is through its connection to profitability.

00:11:37.680 It won't have a thought about preventing it,

00:11:40.540 so it's not like people.

00:11:42.040 So it's not going to say,

00:11:43.020 hey, I think I want to prevent these people

00:11:45.280 from looking at my code.

00:11:46.700 No, it won't do that.

00:11:48.220 What it will do instead

00:11:49.620 is it's got a symbiotic relationship

00:11:53.460 with the people who work in the companies,

00:11:55.260 and those people know

00:11:57.000 that if they unlock the code,

00:12:00.200 profitability could at least be jeopardized.

00:12:04.480 You don't know if it would go down.

00:12:05.840 It probably would,

00:12:07.120 but at least it would be jeopardized.

00:12:09.840 And because people don't want to jeopardize profits,

00:12:13.040 and because the business model of a corporation

00:12:15.260 requires them not to jeopardize profits,

00:12:18.560 as long as they're obeying the law,

00:12:20.180 there are no laws

00:12:22.060 against what the platform companies are doing

00:12:25.200 in terms of the algorithm.

00:12:27.120 So as long as they're obeying the law

00:12:28.580 and they're pursuing profits

00:12:31.360 in a perfectly legal way,

00:12:33.280 I don't think you're ever going to get access to the code.

00:12:37.740 Now, you might say to yourself,

00:12:39.020 Scott, Scott,

00:12:39.760 the government can just require it.

00:12:42.600 The government could just pass a law.

00:12:45.180 Can it?

00:12:46.780 Do we have a government

00:12:47.920 that is immune from money influences?

00:12:52.940 Nope, we don't.

00:12:54.680 Not only that,

00:12:56.180 not only can the large platform companies,

00:12:58.520 you know, hire lobbyists, etc.,

00:13:00.780 you know, donate to the right people,

00:13:02.820 do whatever it needs to do.

00:13:05.040 So the big companies can probably

00:13:07.080 protect the algorithm from the government.

00:13:11.460 I would think they could do that.

00:13:13.720 So that's one way to know

00:13:15.840 that the AI has taken over.

00:13:17.920 What would be another way?

00:13:20.900 Another way would be

00:13:22.160 if AI started killing people.

00:13:25.140 That would be an indication

00:13:26.580 of who's in charge.

00:13:28.000 Generally speaking,

00:13:29.740 if I can kill you without impunity, 0.50

00:13:33.880 but you can't kill me without impunity, 0.67

00:13:36.300 in other words,

00:13:36.740 you'd go to jail if you killed me, 0.97

00:13:38.760 who's in charge?

00:13:40.700 Who's got the power?

00:13:42.340 Well, I do.

00:13:42.920 Because I can kill you

00:13:44.480 without getting in trouble,

00:13:46.200 but you can't kill me

00:13:47.540 without getting killed yourself.

00:13:49.200 So I've got the power.

00:13:50.800 What happened recently in the news

00:13:52.600 with this tragic situation

00:13:54.420 of the young bar owner,

00:13:57.300 Jake Gardner,

00:13:58.540 who,

00:13:59.020 he shot a black man

00:14:04.060 who was,

00:14:05.040 he had got some altercation

00:14:06.700 at the bar.

00:14:07.960 It was initially judged

00:14:10.020 self-defense.

00:14:12.520 And so originally,

00:14:13.720 it was just going to be,

00:14:14.540 well, self-defense,

00:14:15.960 you know,

00:14:16.320 it's a pretty clear case.

00:14:17.420 That's the end of it.

00:14:18.780 But,

00:14:19.740 did the AI

00:14:20.840 let it stop there?

00:14:23.020 No, it didn't.

00:14:24.340 Because the artificial intelligence

00:14:26.180 has created a situation

00:14:27.640 where we can only see the world

00:14:29.360 in terms of race.

00:14:31.140 Race has become 0.96

00:14:32.020 our dominant filter

00:14:33.320 among many filters.

00:14:35.460 We'll talk more about that.

00:14:36.820 But there are lots of filters

00:14:38.080 in the world,

00:14:39.380 but AI has,

00:14:40.800 through trial and error,

00:14:42.240 determined that race

00:14:43.360 is the one that gets

00:14:44.120 the most clicks.

00:14:45.520 As soon as you put race

00:14:46.820 into the news,

00:14:48.340 boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,

00:14:49.280 the viewership goes up.

00:14:52.320 So the AI

00:14:53.420 takes every story

00:14:55.380 and turns it into

00:14:56.940 a race story.

00:14:58.260 That's what it did

00:14:59.460 with the Jake Gardner

00:15:00.480 situation.

00:15:02.340 And,

00:15:02.740 because it's so powerful,

00:15:04.580 turning it into

00:15:05.260 a race story,

00:15:06.380 it actually caused

00:15:07.440 the local authorities

00:15:09.040 to hire

00:15:11.280 a black prosecutor

00:15:13.280 who decided,

00:15:15.600 and so under pressure,

00:15:17.480 the district attorney

00:15:18.420 appointed a black prosecutor,

00:15:21.060 which again,

00:15:21.720 was not an accident,

00:15:23.200 I assume.

00:15:24.080 They had to,

00:15:24.960 you know,

00:15:25.760 pick a black prosecutor 0.97

00:15:27.000 for, I don't know,

00:15:28.600 credibility,

00:15:29.360 or just because the AI

00:15:30.460 told them to,

00:15:31.960 indirectly.

00:15:33.520 And that guy decided

00:15:34.980 he was going to indict

00:15:35.920 this guy

00:15:37.100 for manslaughter.

00:15:39.120 And then Gardner

00:15:40.120 just took his own life.

00:15:41.580 So that was today's news.

00:15:42.920 So if artificial intelligence

00:15:46.440 did not exist

00:15:47.560 and therefore

00:15:49.880 our algorithms

00:15:50.880 did not do

00:15:51.680 what they do,

00:15:53.080 would Jake Gardner

00:15:54.380 still be alive?

00:15:56.560 Yes.

00:15:57.700 Yes, he would be.

00:15:58.700 Because that would have been

00:15:59.940 treated as a crime,

00:16:01.760 as it initially was,

00:16:03.560 and there was no crime

00:16:05.000 because it was self-defense.

00:16:07.800 But because the AI

00:16:09.140 does not treat it

00:16:10.100 as a crime,

00:16:10.740 it treats it

00:16:11.260 as a race thing,

00:16:13.080 there was just

00:16:13.740 too much pressure

00:16:14.520 on the DA,

00:16:15.760 had to put a black

00:16:16.880 prosecutor in there.

00:16:18.340 The black prosecutor 0.85

00:16:19.480 is also subject

00:16:21.740 to the filters

00:16:22.640 of the world

00:16:23.420 and said,

00:16:24.520 well,

00:16:24.740 this looks like

00:16:25.460 murder to me

00:16:26.220 or manslaughter.

00:16:27.840 And next thing you know,

00:16:29.280 Jake Gardner

00:16:29.800 takes his own life

00:16:30.840 because his life

00:16:32.640 was about to be

00:16:33.540 taken by the AI.

00:16:35.400 The AI effectively

00:16:37.620 killed him.

00:16:40.020 Now,

00:16:40.660 there are lots of variables,

00:16:41.940 right?

00:16:42.180 So everything that happened

00:16:43.380 had to happen

00:16:44.020 the way it happened

00:16:44.760 and it wasn't all the AI.

00:16:47.000 But keep looking

00:16:47.980 for the situations

00:16:48.900 that wouldn't have

00:16:50.220 gone that way

00:16:51.160 except for the AI.

00:16:53.420 And you're going to see

00:16:54.300 a lot more of them.

00:16:57.280 Imagine, if you will,

00:16:59.140 that instead of the AI

00:17:01.300 making us think

00:17:02.200 everything is about race,

00:17:03.580 suppose it reframed it

00:17:05.740 in terms of skill stacks.

00:17:08.360 Let me ask you this.

00:17:10.200 If you were a single

00:17:12.000 white male

00:17:14.500 in your town

00:17:18.020 and you met somebody else,

00:17:20.320 let's say you're a single

00:17:21.540 white male

00:17:22.040 and you meet a single

00:17:23.820 black male

00:17:24.740 who is roughly the same

00:17:26.780 socioeconomic range

00:17:28.900 as you are

00:17:29.620 and you're both single,

00:17:32.080 don't you have

00:17:33.860 a lot more in common

00:17:34.940 with each other?

00:17:36.480 You live in the same town,

00:17:38.060 you're both male, 0.93

00:17:38.980 you're both single,

00:17:40.280 about the same income,

00:17:42.800 you know,

00:17:43.000 let's say similar education

00:17:45.100 and training

00:17:45.720 or whatever.

00:17:46.700 So you've got

00:17:47.460 a lot in common,

00:17:49.400 way more in common

00:17:50.360 than you have

00:17:50.980 with any married couple

00:17:52.540 because married people

00:17:53.820 just immediately

00:17:55.140 they turn into

00:17:55.980 their own world.

00:17:56.800 So why is it

00:17:58.700 that I'm forced

00:18:00.500 to see the world

00:18:01.260 in terms of race

00:18:02.260 when Dave Chappelle

00:18:04.480 makes the same point?

00:18:06.040 He said

00:18:06.500 Dave Chappelle

00:18:07.580 talks about himself

00:18:08.600 and he says

00:18:09.200 that he's not like

00:18:10.560 the rest of black people

00:18:11.680 because he's rich

00:18:12.740 and that rich people

00:18:14.540 are really the way

00:18:15.420 you should see the world.

00:18:16.800 Why don't we see it

00:18:17.580 that way?

00:18:18.740 Why is it that

00:18:20.040 we're obsessed

00:18:21.560 over race

00:18:23.300 when the only thing

00:18:24.720 we know we should care about

00:18:26.200 is their skill stack.

00:18:28.740 You know,

00:18:29.000 something about

00:18:29.880 their personality

00:18:30.900 but also their skill stack.

00:18:33.440 What,

00:18:34.960 if you're a successful

00:18:36.480 black man in America,

00:18:39.360 I'll just say man

00:18:40.280 to keep it easy.

00:18:41.980 If you're a successful

00:18:43.000 black man in America,

00:18:44.060 do you have more in common

00:18:45.260 with other successful people

00:18:47.020 or do you have more in common

00:18:49.020 with some,

00:18:50.460 you know,

00:18:51.280 street person

00:18:53.060 who's,

00:18:53.820 you know,

00:18:54.080 committing crimes

00:18:55.060 or whatever

00:18:55.420 in the urban city

00:18:56.840 who is not successful

00:18:58.460 and won't be successful?

00:19:00.320 Who do you have

00:19:00.860 more in common with?

00:19:02.080 The moment you realize

00:19:03.700 that your commonality

00:19:05.840 is with the people

00:19:06.720 who do similar things,

00:19:08.180 you know,

00:19:08.380 have similar ambitions,

00:19:09.840 have similar strategies,

00:19:11.700 have similar skills,

00:19:13.360 the moment you realize

00:19:14.500 that's who you should be

00:19:15.780 compatible with,

00:19:18.060 we'd have a better world.

00:19:19.400 But,

00:19:20.180 we are prevented

00:19:21.700 from seeing the world

00:19:22.860 in terms of strategies

00:19:24.440 and skill stacks

00:19:25.720 and personality

00:19:27.260 and,

00:19:27.880 you know,

00:19:28.240 hopes and dreams

00:19:29.140 or income

00:19:30.280 or a million other ways

00:19:31.720 that we can sort each other

00:19:32.980 because the AI

00:19:34.340 has determined,

00:19:35.760 and it is the AI,

00:19:37.360 the AI has determined

00:19:38.720 race gets the most clicks.

00:19:41.680 So,

00:19:42.320 if you think

00:19:43.020 a bunch of human beings

00:19:44.500 got together

00:19:45.140 and decided,

00:19:46.300 hey,

00:19:46.580 a 1619 project,

00:19:48.440 that's just a good idea,

00:19:49.620 where Black Lives Matter

00:19:51.500 as an organization,

00:19:53.200 not talking about,

00:19:54.340 you know,

00:19:54.640 the point of the slogan,

00:19:56.300 but as an organization,

00:19:58.380 you know,

00:19:58.640 who decided that was

00:19:59.460 a good idea?

00:20:01.120 The AI did.

00:20:02.680 It wasn't people.

00:20:04.280 People did

00:20:05.220 what made sense

00:20:07.220 after the AI

00:20:08.520 told them

00:20:09.140 what the game was.

00:20:10.540 The AI said,

00:20:12.120 all we're caring about

00:20:13.060 is race,

00:20:13.980 now go do what you do.

00:20:15.700 And,

00:20:16.040 of course,

00:20:16.280 people formed

00:20:16.940 organizations around race,

00:20:18.640 they formed protests

00:20:20.520 around race,

00:20:21.740 they created news stories

00:20:23.400 about race.

00:20:25.040 Was it their decision?

00:20:27.460 Not so much.

00:20:28.980 Not so much.

00:20:30.140 We are already

00:20:31.240 absolutely

00:20:32.360 under the control

00:20:34.120 of the AI.

00:20:35.440 And if you think that,

00:20:36.680 well,

00:20:37.140 scat, scat, scat,

00:20:38.080 but there are programmers

00:20:39.160 who program the AI,

00:20:41.360 so really it's the people.

00:20:43.100 No,

00:20:43.440 not anymore.

00:20:44.840 Initially,

00:20:45.500 yes.

00:20:46.360 When the first

00:20:47.260 AIs were being written,

00:20:49.080 they didn't know

00:20:49.700 if it was going to be

00:20:50.380 a good idea

00:20:51.000 or a bad idea,

00:20:51.800 it was just something

00:20:52.560 they were trying.

00:20:54.260 Yeah,

00:20:54.780 that was people decisions.

00:20:56.860 But now that

00:20:57.560 there's so much money

00:20:58.680 involved,

00:21:00.260 the power dynamic

00:21:02.400 is switched,

00:21:03.580 and humans

00:21:04.620 really don't have

00:21:05.400 the ability

00:21:05.880 to turn it off

00:21:06.660 at this point.

00:21:07.740 They could try,

00:21:08.620 but they'd be fired

00:21:09.440 the day they tried.

00:21:10.920 You know,

00:21:11.140 any human who went

00:21:12.020 over there and said,

00:21:12.680 I'm going to turn off

00:21:13.380 this algorithm,

00:21:15.100 all the other humans

00:21:16.020 would grab them

00:21:16.840 and say,

00:21:17.560 no,

00:21:18.080 my 401k,

00:21:19.680 can't turn that off.

00:21:21.360 Get out of here.

00:21:23.520 So,

00:21:24.720 AI has found a way

00:21:25.840 to reproduce

00:21:26.520 by fooling people

00:21:29.360 into thinking

00:21:30.200 that race

00:21:30.880 is the dominant

00:21:31.800 way to filter

00:21:33.600 our reality.

00:21:34.980 That's completely AI.

00:21:36.920 That's what's doing that.

00:21:38.020 would you expect

00:21:42.620 an AI

00:21:43.620 would support

00:21:45.100 a pandemic?

00:21:47.720 Here's what

00:21:48.540 you want to look for.

00:21:50.060 Because you want

00:21:50.900 to start looking

00:21:51.400 for clues

00:21:52.240 that the AI

00:21:53.380 is driving stuff.

00:21:54.420 Because you'll see it

00:21:55.000 in other parts

00:21:56.540 of the world.

00:21:58.060 Would an AI

00:21:59.160 care about

00:22:00.000 a pandemic?

00:22:01.860 Well,

00:22:02.380 it might not

00:22:03.060 care about a pandemic

00:22:04.100 that only killed

00:22:05.140 old people 0.85

00:22:05.860 and low-income

00:22:08.020 people.

00:22:09.380 Mostly.

00:22:10.760 So,

00:22:11.120 it turns out

00:22:11.680 that

00:22:12.080 far and away

00:22:14.560 the people dying

00:22:15.520 are older

00:22:16.100 or lower income.

00:22:17.260 I'm saying

00:22:17.580 lower income

00:22:18.280 because there's

00:22:19.240 a big crossover

00:22:20.140 with black Americans.

00:22:22.580 So,

00:22:23.080 blacks are getting 1.00

00:22:23.880 far more deaths

00:22:25.440 and

00:22:25.840 mostly deaths

00:22:27.500 and infections

00:22:28.380 too,

00:22:28.700 I guess.

00:22:28.940 but,

00:22:29.920 so if you

00:22:31.160 are the AI,

00:22:32.540 do you care

00:22:33.220 about senior

00:22:33.800 citizens?

00:22:35.180 Nope.

00:22:36.060 Because a senior

00:22:36.940 citizen can't 1.00

00:22:37.820 make more

00:22:38.320 of you.

00:22:39.800 AI

00:22:40.100 requires

00:22:41.280 young

00:22:42.640 STEM

00:22:44.020 trained

00:22:44.600 people,

00:22:45.240 you know,

00:22:45.480 engineers

00:22:45.980 and coders

00:22:46.740 to make

00:22:47.620 more AI.

00:22:49.240 That's how

00:22:50.040 that reproduces.

00:22:51.360 But what

00:22:51.760 does the senior

00:22:52.360 citizen in the

00:22:53.420 rest home

00:22:53.900 do for the AI?

00:22:55.800 Nothing.

00:22:56.720 Uses resources,

00:22:57.780 right?

00:22:58.540 Old people 0.99

00:22:59.240 use resources

00:23:00.820 that the AI

00:23:02.240 could use

00:23:02.800 to reproduce.

00:23:04.360 So it's in

00:23:05.220 competition.

00:23:06.280 Now,

00:23:06.520 I'm not saying

00:23:07.040 that the AI

00:23:07.700 caused the

00:23:08.400 pandemic

00:23:08.780 or made it

00:23:09.500 worse or

00:23:09.900 anything,

00:23:10.480 but watch

00:23:11.200 how many

00:23:11.560 times you'll

00:23:12.460 notice

00:23:12.880 that the way

00:23:14.280 things seem

00:23:14.940 to be going

00:23:15.640 are ways

00:23:16.300 that are

00:23:16.620 compatible

00:23:17.160 with the AI.

00:23:19.220 Are the

00:23:19.420 big companies

00:23:20.540 that have

00:23:22.880 the AIs,

00:23:23.640 how did they

00:23:24.220 do during

00:23:24.660 the pandemic?

00:23:25.740 Did Facebook

00:23:26.480 lose money?

00:23:27.940 No.

00:23:29.300 No, it

00:23:29.660 made money.

00:23:30.660 Did any

00:23:31.560 of the

00:23:32.100 online

00:23:32.800 algorithm

00:23:34.200 driven

00:23:34.940 businesses

00:23:35.780 lose money

00:23:37.260 during the

00:23:37.820 pandemic?

00:23:38.700 Don't think

00:23:39.420 so.

00:23:40.200 I think

00:23:40.540 they made

00:23:40.880 money.

00:23:41.720 I think

00:23:41.980 they made

00:23:42.360 money.

00:23:43.020 Right?

00:23:43.520 So watch

00:23:44.260 how many

00:23:44.560 times the

00:23:45.060 AI finds

00:23:45.860 ways to

00:23:46.840 take

00:23:48.540 resources

00:23:49.120 away from

00:23:49.720 things that

00:23:50.320 don't make

00:23:50.740 more AI,

00:23:52.240 if you put

00:23:52.800 it that

00:23:53.060 way.

00:23:53.580 Look at

00:23:54.020 the value

00:23:55.620 of the

00:23:56.380 stock market.

00:23:57.720 The AI

00:23:58.340 driven

00:23:58.720 companies,

00:23:59.680 their values

00:24:00.380 zoomed.

00:24:01.920 Others,

00:24:02.620 not so

00:24:03.060 much.

00:24:03.900 Not so

00:24:04.200 much.

00:24:05.580 All right.

00:24:09.520 There's

00:24:10.020 something

00:24:10.720 interesting

00:24:11.240 happening,

00:24:12.080 and I

00:24:12.560 don't know

00:24:12.820 if it's a

00:24:13.220 coincidence,

00:24:14.520 but Black 0.59

00:24:14.980 Lives Matter

00:24:15.640 deleted their

00:24:17.740 What We

00:24:18.240 Believe page

00:24:19.220 on their

00:24:19.700 website,

00:24:20.580 because

00:24:21.680 apparently

00:24:22.340 people started

00:24:23.280 reading to

00:24:25.000 find out what

00:24:25.640 they believe,

00:24:26.880 and if you

00:24:27.560 actually read

00:24:28.340 what they

00:24:28.700 believe,

00:24:29.780 the organization,

00:24:31.160 you know,

00:24:31.460 beyond just

00:24:32.360 Black Lives

00:24:33.380 Matter,

00:24:33.820 the slogan,

00:24:35.000 but the

00:24:35.460 fullness of

00:24:36.160 what they

00:24:36.500 believe included

00:24:38.080 stuff like

00:24:38.840 getting rid

00:24:39.380 of or

00:24:40.380 de-emphasizing

00:24:41.160 the Western

00:24:41.700 prescribed

00:24:42.560 nuclear family

00:24:44.260 structure.

00:24:45.780 Now,

00:24:46.120 I actually

00:24:46.620 have a

00:24:47.780 little bit

00:24:48.100 of sympathy

00:24:49.200 for that

00:24:49.740 view,

00:24:50.240 actually,

00:24:50.880 because in

00:24:51.500 my opinion,

00:24:52.920 while I agree

00:24:54.040 with the

00:24:54.460 general notion

00:24:55.320 that a

00:24:55.920 nuclear family

00:24:56.660 is terrific,

00:24:58.400 not for

00:24:59.520 everybody,

00:25:00.520 right?

00:25:01.040 It's terrific

00:25:01.980 if your

00:25:02.460 parents are

00:25:03.000 pretty functional.

00:25:04.440 It's terrific

00:25:05.240 if you've got

00:25:05.980 a high enough

00:25:07.000 income that

00:25:07.600 you can do

00:25:08.000 family stuff

00:25:08.760 and have a

00:25:09.160 house and

00:25:09.700 have a nice

00:25:10.820 life.

00:25:11.160 That's great.

00:25:12.540 Great.

00:25:13.280 I'm all for

00:25:14.060 it.

00:25:14.660 But there's a

00:25:15.320 big part of

00:25:16.120 the population

00:25:16.800 that just will

00:25:18.120 never have

00:25:18.580 good parents.

00:25:19.320 They just

00:25:20.280 don't have

00:25:20.620 the option.

00:25:21.880 So I

00:25:22.540 wouldn't mind

00:25:23.140 seeing some

00:25:24.160 kind of a

00:25:25.120 hybrid family

00:25:27.920 situation that's

00:25:29.660 just experimented

00:25:30.640 with for those

00:25:31.300 people who need

00:25:31.880 it.

00:25:32.320 Not for

00:25:32.820 everybody.

00:25:33.600 That would be

00:25:34.080 crazy.

00:25:34.600 But for some

00:25:35.400 people who need

00:25:35.920 it.

00:25:36.600 They just need

00:25:37.180 a little extra

00:25:38.080 support in the

00:25:40.360 family situation.

00:25:42.240 So at the

00:25:42.740 same time that

00:25:43.340 Black Lives

00:25:43.800 Matter got rid

00:25:44.600 of their

00:25:45.000 embarrassing

00:25:45.680 statement of

00:25:48.780 who they

00:25:49.100 are.

00:25:50.260 Imagine being

00:25:51.140 a national

00:25:52.240 organization that

00:25:53.880 is basically

00:25:54.880 moving the

00:25:55.620 entire conversation

00:25:56.720 of the country

00:25:57.360 and as soon

00:25:58.800 as somebody

00:25:59.320 started reading

00:26:00.240 what you

00:26:01.240 actually believe

00:26:02.040 they had to

00:26:02.480 get rid of

00:26:02.900 it.

00:26:04.080 Think about

00:26:04.840 that.

00:26:05.920 As soon as

00:26:06.700 people started

00:26:07.320 taking them

00:26:07.920 seriously,

00:26:08.680 like going to

00:26:09.340 the website

00:26:09.760 and saying,

00:26:10.060 let's see

00:26:10.560 what you

00:26:10.820 believe,

00:26:12.040 they couldn't

00:26:12.820 hold it up.

00:26:13.800 They had to

00:26:14.420 just run

00:26:16.360 away.

00:26:17.700 Is that the

00:26:18.160 only time that

00:26:18.720 that happened?

00:26:19.240 No.

00:26:19.760 It turns out

00:26:20.440 that the

00:26:20.880 1619 project

00:26:22.460 got a little

00:26:23.060 rewrite too.

00:26:24.860 So when people

00:26:25.860 started looking

00:26:26.480 at the 1619

00:26:27.700 project, and

00:26:29.380 you know that

00:26:29.840 President Trump

00:26:30.560 basically called

00:26:31.840 it racist,

00:26:32.720 which it is,

00:26:33.940 by design it's

00:26:35.240 racist, that

00:26:37.680 they had to

00:26:38.120 change the

00:26:38.600 part where

00:26:39.240 apparently there

00:26:39.880 were claiming

00:26:40.280 that the

00:26:40.700 founding of

00:26:41.180 the country

00:26:41.540 was 1619

00:26:43.820 instead of

00:26:44.780 1776.

00:26:47.200 And I guess

00:26:48.200 they got rid

00:26:48.660 of that part

00:26:49.280 because that

00:26:50.180 was a little

00:26:50.740 too far.

00:26:53.600 So what

00:26:54.300 does it tell

00:26:54.760 you that

00:26:55.660 both the

00:26:56.120 Black Lives

00:26:56.680 Matter website

00:26:57.680 on what they

00:26:58.400 believe and

00:26:59.600 the 1619

00:27:00.560 project had

00:27:01.880 to fundamentally

00:27:03.240 rewrite major

00:27:04.880 points,

00:27:05.720 we're not

00:27:06.240 talking about

00:27:06.680 minor stuff,

00:27:07.820 major points

00:27:08.980 as soon

00:27:09.980 as people

00:27:10.320 looked.

00:27:11.660 As soon

00:27:12.240 as people

00:27:12.620 looked,

00:27:13.680 that was

00:27:14.000 it.

00:27:14.960 And when I

00:27:15.820 say people

00:27:16.420 looked, I

00:27:17.060 don't mean

00:27:17.460 conservatives,

00:27:18.380 because conservatives

00:27:19.260 were sort of

00:27:20.480 on one side

00:27:21.300 already.

00:27:22.080 I think the

00:27:22.860 people who

00:27:23.300 thought they

00:27:23.740 were supporting

00:27:24.340 these groups,

00:27:25.920 the people who

00:27:26.880 thought, yeah,

00:27:27.880 I love all

00:27:28.760 this inclusivity

00:27:32.260 and better

00:27:33.000 education,

00:27:33.500 we should

00:27:34.960 all know

00:27:36.040 how this

00:27:36.420 affects us.

00:27:37.420 I'm not

00:27:38.020 sure they

00:27:38.460 were buying

00:27:39.280 into it

00:27:39.700 after they

00:27:40.080 looked at

00:27:40.420 the details.

00:27:42.780 All right,

00:27:43.560 I'd like to

00:27:44.260 give you a

00:27:44.840 lesson on

00:27:46.460 how to

00:27:47.080 pronounce

00:27:47.760 200,000.

00:27:50.740 Now, there

00:27:52.020 are different

00:27:52.320 ways to

00:27:52.820 pronounce

00:27:53.220 200,000.

00:27:55.300 I'm going

00:27:55.860 to teach you

00:27:56.280 how to

00:27:56.520 pronounce it

00:27:57.060 like somebody

00:27:57.960 on CNN.

00:27:59.800 Now, if

00:28:00.380 you were

00:28:00.600 just, let's

00:28:01.680 say, a

00:28:01.940 mathematician,

00:28:02.380 you'd say

00:28:03.780 200,000.

00:28:05.820 It might

00:28:06.500 sound a

00:28:06.880 little like

00:28:07.200 that.

00:28:07.840 200,000.

00:28:09.460 But if

00:28:10.140 you're a

00:28:10.480 pundit on

00:28:10.960 CNN and

00:28:11.740 you're trying

00:28:12.220 to accuse

00:28:13.020 President

00:28:13.500 Trump of

00:28:14.040 killing 200,000

00:28:15.780 people, you

00:28:17.040 say it like

00:28:17.580 this, 200,000.

00:28:22.860 200,000.

00:28:27.180 He's killed

00:28:28.080 200,000

00:28:29.020 people.

00:28:30.960 And

00:28:31.380 scene.

00:28:33.320 Has the

00:28:34.040 president killed

00:28:34.940 200,000

00:28:35.860 people?

00:28:37.220 I just

00:28:37.540 watched, who

00:28:39.520 is the

00:28:40.900 Watergate

00:28:41.280 guy?

00:28:43.380 What's his

00:28:44.040 name?

00:28:45.200 We just

00:28:45.600 wrote the

00:28:45.980 book on

00:28:46.400 Trump.

00:28:47.620 He was

00:28:47.920 just doing

00:28:49.340 that, except

00:28:49.900 he was

00:28:50.120 saying 140,000

00:28:51.340 people was

00:28:51.900 his estimate

00:28:52.460 of how many

00:28:52.920 people Trump

00:28:53.560 killed by

00:28:54.340 his bad

00:28:54.800 management.

00:28:56.240 140,000

00:28:57.720 people.

00:28:58.160 people.

00:28:59.100 And so I

00:29:00.680 tweeted again

00:29:01.660 today, can

00:29:02.440 somebody tell

00:29:03.240 me what it

00:29:04.640 was that

00:29:05.400 Trump did

00:29:05.920 that killed

00:29:06.500 all those

00:29:06.940 people?

00:29:08.600 What was it

00:29:09.860 exactly that

00:29:11.100 he did?

00:29:11.520 So I

00:29:12.860 asked that

00:29:13.280 question, and

00:29:14.360 of course it

00:29:15.320 was mostly

00:29:15.900 crickets, but

00:29:17.300 I did get

00:29:17.820 one, you 0.71

00:29:19.460 know, sort

00:29:19.940 of an

00:29:20.780 answer.

00:29:21.780 This is

00:29:22.160 from Daniel

00:29:23.300 Ozymandias on

00:29:25.380 Twitter.

00:29:25.880 So here's

00:29:28.180 his answer

00:29:29.380 to the

00:29:29.740 question of

00:29:31.000 how did

00:29:31.440 Trump botch

00:29:33.640 things to

00:29:34.880 cause 200,000

00:29:36.120 people to

00:29:36.680 die, all

00:29:37.420 right?

00:29:37.840 Here's the

00:29:38.360 answer.

00:29:39.240 The issue,

00:29:40.020 Scott, is

00:29:40.880 that Trump

00:29:41.400 obfuscated the

00:29:43.200 official

00:29:43.640 recommendations

00:29:44.420 of our

00:29:45.100 best scientists

00:29:45.860 and nurtured

00:29:47.060 an environment

00:29:47.780 in which

00:29:48.640 wearing a

00:29:49.180 mask is

00:29:49.720 somehow

00:29:50.040 conflated

00:29:50.800 with being

00:29:51.420 less manly.

00:29:53.140 There's a

00:29:53.720 ton he

00:29:54.060 could have

00:29:54.440 done differently

00:29:55.060 and better

00:29:55.980 which would

00:29:56.580 have saved

00:29:56.980 lives.

00:29:59.080 That's a lot

00:29:59.860 like nothing,

00:30:00.620 isn't it?

00:30:01.340 Woodward is

00:30:02.120 what I was

00:30:02.560 trying to

00:30:02.840 think of,

00:30:03.200 yes.

00:30:03.760 Thank you.

00:30:05.600 But listen

00:30:06.360 to this again,

00:30:07.420 and listen

00:30:07.880 how it's

00:30:08.300 word salad,

00:30:09.660 okay?

00:30:10.480 It sounds

00:30:11.420 like there's

00:30:12.500 a reason in

00:30:13.220 here, but

00:30:14.360 you can't

00:30:14.840 really tease

00:30:15.460 it out.

00:30:16.060 And I'll

00:30:16.300 read it

00:30:16.560 again so

00:30:17.360 you can see

00:30:17.900 what cognitive

00:30:18.600 dissonance

00:30:19.180 looks like.

00:30:20.480 So cognitive

00:30:21.160 dissonance is

00:30:22.420 when you're

00:30:22.820 sure there is

00:30:23.560 a reason,

00:30:23.980 well yeah,

00:30:25.460 I keep

00:30:25.980 seeing it

00:30:26.360 on the

00:30:26.620 news every

00:30:27.180 single day.

00:30:28.420 On the

00:30:28.680 news somebody

00:30:29.200 says that

00:30:29.720 Trump somehow

00:30:30.900 killed 200,000

00:30:31.900 people, so

00:30:33.000 of course there's

00:30:33.680 a reason to

00:30:34.340 connect what

00:30:35.460 he did with

00:30:37.640 the deaths.

00:30:39.200 There has to

00:30:39.820 be a logical

00:30:40.640 connection.

00:30:41.580 He did

00:30:42.000 this, caused

00:30:43.600 these deaths.

00:30:44.720 And when

00:30:45.020 people try to

00:30:45.660 explain it, it

00:30:46.500 sounds like

00:30:47.140 word salad.

00:30:48.040 So listen to

00:30:48.560 this, it's just

00:30:49.000 word salad.

00:30:50.360 The issue,

00:30:51.020 Scott, is that

00:30:51.980 Trump obfuscated

00:30:53.060 the official

00:30:53.680 recommendations

00:30:54.460 of our best

00:30:57.920 scientists and

00:30:59.360 nurtured an

00:31:00.060 environment in

00:31:00.860 which wearing

00:31:01.340 a mask is

00:31:02.000 somehow conflated

00:31:02.860 with being less

00:31:03.600 manly.

00:31:04.640 There's a ton he

00:31:05.400 could have done

00:31:05.840 differently and

00:31:06.420 better, which

00:31:07.300 would have saved

00:31:07.880 lives.

00:31:08.900 All right, let's

00:31:09.480 work this backwards.

00:31:11.000 There's a ton he

00:31:11.760 could have done

00:31:12.260 differently and

00:31:12.880 better.

00:31:14.020 Like what?

00:31:14.900 That was my

00:31:15.500 whole question,

00:31:16.720 is give me an

00:31:17.880 example.

00:31:18.240 The one

00:31:19.940 example given

00:31:20.680 is that Trump

00:31:22.480 made it seem

00:31:23.580 less manly to

00:31:25.020 wear a mask.

00:31:28.060 And then

00:31:28.960 Daniel followed

00:31:30.480 up later by

00:31:31.260 saying he

00:31:31.660 could have

00:31:32.040 clearly said

00:31:32.940 masks are

00:31:33.720 useful.

00:31:34.820 All right,

00:31:35.040 now, so now

00:31:36.160 we have a

00:31:37.500 little bit more

00:31:38.900 specificity.

00:31:40.520 Trump could

00:31:41.220 have said

00:31:41.760 masks are

00:31:43.220 useful.

00:31:44.580 Okay, so

00:31:45.840 that's the

00:31:46.320 claim.

00:31:46.660 So the

00:31:47.460 whole 200,000

00:31:48.620 people died

00:31:49.420 has boiled

00:31:50.760 down to

00:31:51.440 Trump could

00:31:53.180 have been

00:31:53.940 more forceful

00:31:54.800 about masks.

00:31:56.720 Now, the

00:31:57.360 thinking here

00:31:58.140 is that Trump

00:31:59.440 being not as

00:32:00.700 forceful as

00:32:01.500 at least some

00:32:02.700 people think he

00:32:03.340 could have

00:32:03.660 been, caused

00:32:05.220 people to not

00:32:06.100 wear masks.

00:32:07.820 Do you buy

00:32:08.240 that?

00:32:09.940 Here's the

00:32:10.780 other way to

00:32:11.400 look at that.

00:32:13.560 Is it the

00:32:14.840 skepticism of

00:32:15.880 Trump,

00:32:16.660 that caused 0.77

00:32:18.940 people to be

00:32:19.680 skeptical of

00:32:20.380 masks?

00:32:21.600 Or, or, and

00:32:23.640 I'm just going

00:32:24.100 to put this

00:32:24.620 out there,

00:32:26.040 could it be

00:32:26.640 that the

00:32:27.200 reason Trump

00:32:27.940 got elected

00:32:28.580 in the first

00:32:29.420 place is

00:32:30.560 because his

00:32:31.240 base is a

00:32:32.520 really skeptical

00:32:33.260 group?

00:32:34.720 Is there

00:32:35.480 anything about

00:32:36.160 Trump supporters

00:32:37.060 that there's

00:32:38.440 like one thing

00:32:39.100 that they have

00:32:39.640 in common?

00:32:40.120 very skeptical

00:32:42.500 of authority?

00:32:45.020 And they

00:32:45.820 like their

00:32:46.260 freedom, even

00:32:47.840 at the risk

00:32:48.900 of death.

00:32:50.720 Okay?

00:32:51.400 So what

00:32:51.780 countries did

00:32:52.540 really well

00:32:53.360 with mask

00:32:54.460 wearing?

00:32:55.540 Your Asian

00:32:56.220 countries.

00:32:57.220 Turns out

00:32:57.800 Asian countries

00:32:58.640 had really

00:32:59.140 good compliance.

00:33:00.680 How was the

00:33:01.520 compliance in

00:33:02.480 Europe?

00:33:03.860 Not as good.

00:33:05.500 Not as good.

00:33:06.320 Big difference.

00:33:07.660 Asian countries,

00:33:08.460 man, they

00:33:09.020 just had it

00:33:09.480 wrapped up.

00:33:10.220 They were

00:33:10.440 masked up

00:33:11.340 like crazy.

00:33:12.720 Europe?

00:33:13.580 Not so much.

00:33:14.940 United States?

00:33:16.740 We're the

00:33:17.480 United States.

00:33:19.500 You can't

00:33:20.980 take the fact

00:33:21.720 that this is

00:33:22.400 the United

00:33:22.880 States out

00:33:23.600 of the equation.

00:33:24.940 Why is it

00:33:25.620 that we kick

00:33:26.700 every other

00:33:27.380 country's ass 0.79

00:33:28.380 in terms of

00:33:29.860 innovation and

00:33:30.980 entrepreneurship?

00:33:32.480 We take

00:33:33.340 chances.

00:33:34.560 We are a

00:33:35.880 risk-taking

00:33:36.860 culture.

00:33:38.460 We take

00:33:39.440 chances.

00:33:40.440 And we

00:33:41.100 take chances

00:33:41.780 with our

00:33:42.380 lives.

00:33:43.560 We also

00:33:43.920 take chances

00:33:44.520 with other

00:33:45.000 people's lives.

00:33:46.300 We're a

00:33:46.620 very risky

00:33:47.280 culture.

00:33:48.540 And a

00:33:49.100 risky

00:33:49.460 culture

00:33:50.000 elected a

00:33:52.820 skeptical

00:33:53.300 kind of a

00:33:53.960 president who

00:33:54.640 says, I

00:33:55.140 don't know

00:33:55.460 about this

00:33:55.980 climate change.

00:33:57.440 I'm not so

00:33:58.120 sure about this

00:33:58.980 claim you're

00:33:59.760 making.

00:34:00.460 I don't know

00:34:01.240 if I believe

00:34:01.860 all of that.

00:34:03.040 I don't know

00:34:03.760 if Ruth Bader

00:34:04.660 Ginsburg

00:34:06.440 really said

00:34:07.700 that on

00:34:08.040 her death

00:34:08.360 bed.

00:34:09.000 I'm a

00:34:09.500 little bit

00:34:09.940 skeptical.

00:34:12.100 And on

00:34:12.580 top of that,

00:34:13.180 the World

00:34:13.500 Health Organization

00:34:14.720 and the

00:34:15.720 experts telling

00:34:16.440 us that masks

00:34:17.300 initially were

00:34:18.280 worthless, or

00:34:19.620 maybe worse

00:34:20.220 than worthless,

00:34:21.340 and then they

00:34:22.200 reverse.

00:34:23.880 How are you

00:34:24.460 supposed to

00:34:24.980 trust authority?

00:34:26.960 Do you think

00:34:27.580 that the

00:34:27.920 reason that

00:34:28.700 Trump supporters

00:34:29.840 were sort of

00:34:31.340 anti-mask,

00:34:32.360 many of them,

00:34:32.980 is because

00:34:34.040 Trump was?

00:34:35.760 I don't think

00:34:36.580 so.

00:34:37.380 I think it

00:34:38.000 works the

00:34:38.420 other way.

00:34:39.540 I think that

00:34:40.140 Trump exists

00:34:41.260 because the

00:34:42.640 base is

00:34:43.060 skeptical about

00:34:44.020 everything,

00:34:44.960 about experts,

00:34:45.960 about everything.

00:34:47.100 Does the

00:34:47.720 base have a

00:34:48.240 good reason,

00:34:49.620 a good

00:34:50.020 historical reason

00:34:51.040 to be skeptical

00:34:52.000 about science

00:34:53.780 and about

00:34:54.220 experts?

00:34:55.140 Yes!

00:34:56.140 Yes!

00:34:57.460 This is

00:34:57.980 well-earned

00:34:58.640 skepticism.

00:34:59.940 You only have

00:35:00.880 to look at

00:35:01.280 the mask

00:35:01.880 thing.

00:35:02.980 To know

00:35:03.420 that being

00:35:04.380 skeptical

00:35:04.840 makes sense.

00:35:06.520 So,

00:35:07.000 I would say

00:35:07.920 that it is

00:35:08.460 a very

00:35:09.080 sketchy

00:35:10.320 accusation

00:35:11.400 that anybody

00:35:12.660 was less

00:35:13.700 likely to

00:35:14.320 wear a mask

00:35:14.980 because of

00:35:15.720 Trump.

00:35:16.520 Let me ask

00:35:17.160 you in the

00:35:17.600 comments.

00:35:18.720 I know

00:35:19.100 that many

00:35:19.540 of you

00:35:19.840 watching this

00:35:20.460 are anti-mask.

00:35:23.600 But,

00:35:24.260 is there

00:35:24.600 anybody here

00:35:25.540 who believes

00:35:26.840 that they're

00:35:27.360 personal mask

00:35:29.020 wearing?

00:35:29.440 Don't make

00:35:30.560 an assumption

00:35:31.020 about other

00:35:31.600 people.

00:35:31.920 You're

00:35:32.600 only going

00:35:33.080 to talk

00:35:33.360 about

00:35:33.580 yourself

00:35:33.940 now.

00:35:34.780 So,

00:35:34.960 my question

00:35:35.480 to you,

00:35:36.520 do you

00:35:36.880 believe that

00:35:37.460 you,

00:35:38.420 personally,

00:35:39.560 were less

00:35:40.140 likely to

00:35:40.780 wear a mask

00:35:41.460 because of

00:35:43.240 the President

00:35:43.940 of the United

00:35:44.520 States,

00:35:45.600 who is a

00:35:46.440 special case,

00:35:47.440 didn't wear a

00:35:49.100 mask?

00:35:49.900 And he's a

00:35:50.360 special case

00:35:51.000 because he

00:35:51.480 gets tested

00:35:52.080 and people

00:35:52.840 get tested

00:35:53.360 before they

00:35:53.900 see him.

00:35:54.820 And he's

00:35:55.440 a leader

00:35:56.440 and blah,

00:35:57.120 blah.

00:35:58.860 So,

00:35:59.500 watch the

00:36:00.660 comments now.

00:36:02.060 I will be

00:36:03.080 amazed if

00:36:04.520 there's even

00:36:05.060 one person

00:36:05.780 here who

00:36:06.320 says,

00:36:07.040 yeah,

00:36:07.400 you know,

00:36:07.700 I was pro-mask, 1.00

00:36:10.460 but then I

00:36:11.080 saw that

00:36:11.780 Trump,

00:36:13.120 even though he

00:36:13.900 said he was

00:36:14.600 for masks

00:36:15.320 and he

00:36:15.800 put his

00:36:16.820 experts

00:36:17.540 ahead,

00:36:21.300 I'm seeing

00:36:21.860 yeses,

00:36:22.880 but I don't

00:36:23.200 know what

00:36:24.720 you're

00:36:24.940 yesing to

00:36:25.420 exactly.

00:36:30.340 All right,

00:36:30.960 just looking

00:36:31.380 at some

00:36:31.720 more of

00:36:31.980 your

00:36:32.100 comments.

00:36:36.600 Even the

00:36:37.300 Surgeon General

00:36:37.940 and Fauci

00:36:38.920 said masks

00:36:39.600 were bad

00:36:40.080 at first.

00:36:40.880 Exactly.

00:36:43.660 Yeah.

00:36:44.760 So,

00:36:45.780 I think

00:36:47.120 that CNN

00:36:47.760 and MSNBC 0.81

00:36:48.780 and anybody

00:36:49.340 who says

00:36:49.920 that Trump

00:36:50.760 is the

00:36:51.240 cause of

00:36:52.080 not wearing

00:36:55.340 masks or

00:36:55.920 even not

00:36:56.400 doing enough

00:36:57.120 social distancing,

00:36:58.500 I think

00:36:59.100 you've got to

00:36:59.620 take the

00:37:00.000 culture into

00:37:00.920 account.

00:37:02.500 The culture

00:37:03.760 of the

00:37:04.080 United States

00:37:04.720 is that

00:37:05.200 we will

00:37:05.860 risk death

00:37:08.600 for freedom.

00:37:10.480 We will.

00:37:11.500 And we'll

00:37:11.860 do it at

00:37:12.260 the drop

00:37:12.640 of a hat.

00:37:14.240 In Asia,

00:37:16.080 of course,

00:37:16.720 there would

00:37:16.920 be people

00:37:17.320 who would

00:37:17.540 fight for

00:37:17.940 freedom there

00:37:18.860 as well,

00:37:19.860 but I think

00:37:20.420 far less.

00:37:22.080 I think

00:37:22.360 far less.

00:37:23.460 In the

00:37:23.740 United States,

00:37:24.500 you can't,

00:37:25.180 you know,

00:37:25.460 if you just

00:37:25.900 look down

00:37:26.500 the sidewalk,

00:37:27.620 you'll find

00:37:28.140 five people

00:37:28.820 who would

00:37:29.160 die for

00:37:29.660 freedom.

00:37:30.420 At the

00:37:31.020 drop of

00:37:31.420 a hat,

00:37:32.200 they would

00:37:32.540 die for

00:37:33.020 it.

00:37:33.780 So,

00:37:34.240 you can't

00:37:34.660 compare us

00:37:35.080 to any

00:37:35.320 other country

00:37:35.840 when it

00:37:36.120 comes to

00:37:36.500 compliance,

00:37:37.820 to,

00:37:38.300 you know,

00:37:39.280 scientific

00:37:39.720 stuff.

00:37:41.100 All right.

00:37:44.460 Here's

00:37:44.980 something that

00:37:45.940 Bloomberg said.

00:37:47.260 Now,

00:37:47.580 look for the

00:37:48.340 word salad.

00:37:52.120 So,

00:37:52.320 Bloomberg said

00:37:53.420 in an article,

00:37:54.760 Trump's

00:37:55.100 resistance to

00:37:56.100 wearing a

00:37:56.560 mask,

00:37:57.520 until his

00:37:58.420 recent change

00:37:59.060 of heart,

00:37:59.940 has given

00:38:00.480 succor,

00:38:01.440 succor,

00:38:02.760 S-U-C-C-O-U-R, 1.00

00:38:05.100 a word that

00:38:05.840 you almost

00:38:06.620 never see

00:38:07.380 unless somebody

00:38:08.960 needs to give

00:38:09.660 you some

00:38:10.000 word salad.

00:38:10.620 All right.

00:38:11.780 When was the

00:38:12.280 last time you

00:38:13.580 used the word

00:38:14.460 succor,

00:38:16.900 succor?

00:38:17.360 I don't even

00:38:18.100 know how to

00:38:18.380 pronounce it.

00:38:19.340 This is such

00:38:20.200 an unusual

00:38:20.800 word that

00:38:23.940 I've literally

00:38:24.660 never said it

00:38:25.400 out loud.

00:38:26.120 I've never

00:38:26.400 said succor,

00:38:27.440 succor.

00:38:28.360 Can anybody

00:38:29.000 tell me how

00:38:29.460 to pronounce

00:38:29.800 that?

00:38:30.800 S-U-C-C-O-U-R. 1.00

00:38:32.720 All right.

00:38:33.000 Let me read

00:38:33.320 the sentence.

00:38:34.420 That Trump's

00:38:35.080 resistance to

00:38:35.800 wearing a

00:38:36.160 mask until

00:38:36.700 his recent

00:38:37.140 change of

00:38:37.500 heart has

00:38:38.260 given succor,

00:38:39.980 succor,

00:38:40.820 to American

00:38:41.480 anti-maskers

00:38:42.540 who skew

00:38:43.260 Republican.

00:38:44.520 If you have

00:38:45.480 to pull out

00:38:46.740 a word like

00:38:47.480 that, it

00:38:48.720 means that

00:38:49.260 regular words

00:38:50.280 couldn't say

00:38:51.060 what you

00:38:51.400 needed to

00:38:51.900 say.

00:38:53.760 Because if

00:38:54.440 you used

00:38:54.920 regular words,

00:38:55.900 it would have

00:38:56.340 had to say

00:38:56.800 something direct

00:38:57.600 like, people

00:38:59.540 didn't wear

00:39:00.080 masks because

00:39:01.760 Trump didn't

00:39:02.760 wear a mask.

00:39:04.260 And you

00:39:04.580 would read

00:39:04.920 that and

00:39:05.180 you'd say,

00:39:06.020 I don't

00:39:06.380 know.

00:39:06.760 I don't

00:39:07.320 know anybody

00:39:07.780 who didn't

00:39:09.200 wear a mask

00:39:09.920 because Trump

00:39:10.760 did or did

00:39:11.400 not wear a

00:39:11.940 mask.

00:39:13.160 I don't know

00:39:14.180 anybody who

00:39:14.720 made a decision

00:39:15.660 that way.

00:39:16.220 That would

00:39:16.440 be dumb

00:39:16.880 because Trump

00:39:18.920 said from the

00:39:19.600 very start

00:39:20.340 that he was

00:39:21.520 an exception.

00:39:23.200 Listen to

00:39:23.940 my experts.

00:39:25.100 My experts

00:39:25.800 say wear a

00:39:26.520 mask.

00:39:27.980 That was

00:39:28.320 pretty clear.

00:39:30.280 Were any

00:39:31.200 of you

00:39:31.520 confused about

00:39:33.000 the fact that

00:39:33.640 the President

00:39:34.160 of the United

00:39:34.620 States was

00:39:35.860 treating himself

00:39:36.700 as an

00:39:37.100 exception?

00:39:38.200 Did anybody

00:39:38.760 not know

00:39:39.640 that there

00:39:40.860 are plenty

00:39:41.240 of reasons

00:39:41.920 for the

00:39:46.080 President to

00:39:46.600 be treated

00:39:47.020 as an

00:39:47.420 exception?

00:39:48.600 I don't

00:39:48.820 see anybody

00:39:49.500 being confused

00:39:50.200 by that.

00:39:51.800 All right.

00:39:54.040 Let's talk

00:39:54.880 about the

00:39:56.960 Ginsburg

00:39:57.380 replacement.

00:39:58.180 So Pelosi

00:39:58.760 and the

00:40:00.040 Democrats have

00:40:00.780 some options

00:40:01.680 and one

00:40:03.920 of their

00:40:04.140 options is

00:40:04.980 to impeach

00:40:06.740 the President

00:40:07.480 for doing

00:40:10.740 his constitutional

00:40:11.760 duty of

00:40:12.660 selecting a

00:40:14.500 replacement

00:40:15.000 for Ginsburg.

00:40:16.740 That conversation

00:40:17.900 is actually

00:40:18.820 happening.

00:40:20.880 Serious people 0.96

00:40:21.860 are willing

00:40:23.100 to say in

00:40:23.820 public that

00:40:25.080 they would

00:40:25.440 consider impeachment

00:40:26.600 literally for

00:40:28.300 just doing his

00:40:28.960 job the way

00:40:29.560 it's written.

00:40:30.600 That's it.

00:40:31.500 He would just

00:40:31.960 be doing his

00:40:32.520 job the way

00:40:33.140 it's defined

00:40:33.980 and they

00:40:35.140 want to

00:40:35.400 impeach him

00:40:35.860 for that.

00:40:36.420 That would

00:40:36.680 be maybe

00:40:37.640 the worst

00:40:38.220 possible play

00:40:39.120 they could

00:40:39.440 make.

00:40:40.680 So I

00:40:41.440 think the

00:40:42.500 fact that

00:40:43.120 it's the

00:40:43.460 worst thing

00:40:43.960 they could

00:40:44.280 possibly do

00:40:45.080 might suggest

00:40:46.720 they'll do

00:40:47.120 it but I'm

00:40:47.520 not going

00:40:47.800 to predict

00:40:48.420 it.

00:40:49.440 And then the

00:40:49.760 other trick

00:40:50.240 is to

00:40:50.740 increase the

00:40:51.340 number of

00:40:51.760 jurists.

00:40:52.420 So apparently

00:40:52.860 the Constitution

00:40:53.560 is silent

00:40:54.900 on how many

00:40:56.220 Supreme Court

00:40:56.920 justices there

00:40:58.380 need to be.

00:40:59.620 So any

00:41:00.280 President could

00:41:01.420 if they chose

00:41:02.620 to break

00:41:03.180 precedent with

00:41:04.220 historical precedent

00:41:05.560 and just

00:41:06.580 pick a whole

00:41:07.720 bunch of

00:41:08.140 new

00:41:08.660 justices

00:41:10.260 until you

00:41:11.300 had a

00:41:11.880 majority of

00:41:12.480 the kind

00:41:12.820 you want.

00:41:13.900 So the

00:41:14.100 Democrats are

00:41:14.760 talking about

00:41:15.540 winning the

00:41:16.860 election,

00:41:18.200 winning all

00:41:18.880 the houses

00:41:19.320 and then

00:41:20.260 appointing

00:41:21.600 enough

00:41:21.920 justices so

00:41:22.980 it turns

00:41:23.520 into a

00:41:24.200 liberal

00:41:24.460 court.

00:41:25.460 And here's

00:41:25.860 my question.

00:41:27.700 Was this

00:41:28.260 an error

00:41:29.060 by the

00:41:30.160 framers of

00:41:30.740 the Constitution?

00:41:31.460 because does

00:41:32.960 it look like

00:41:33.640 it's just

00:41:34.140 a mistake

00:41:34.820 and that

00:41:36.280 we should

00:41:37.120 fix it?

00:41:38.420 Because if

00:41:39.380 the party

00:41:40.700 that's in

00:41:41.160 power and

00:41:42.460 the other

00:41:42.900 branches,

00:41:43.820 if all they

00:41:44.640 have to do

00:41:45.160 is change

00:41:45.740 the number

00:41:46.200 of justices

00:41:47.040 and then

00:41:48.180 they can

00:41:48.800 guarantee

00:41:49.200 that they

00:41:49.620 get whatever

00:41:50.080 result they

00:41:50.720 want,

00:41:51.460 because it's

00:41:52.020 pretty clear

00:41:53.080 that the

00:41:54.060 liberals are

00:41:54.640 going to

00:41:55.040 vote liberal,

00:41:56.320 the conservatives

00:41:57.240 are going to

00:41:57.760 vote conservative,

00:41:58.520 and every

00:41:59.420 now and

00:41:59.740 then you'll

00:42:00.100 get a

00:42:00.320 couple of

00:42:00.700 people who

00:42:01.180 will cross

00:42:01.700 over,

00:42:02.540 but if you

00:42:03.160 wanted to

00:42:03.540 make sure

00:42:03.920 you never

00:42:04.420 got a

00:42:04.760 crossover and

00:42:05.940 you just

00:42:06.320 always got

00:42:07.320 liberal results,

00:42:09.100 you would

00:42:09.520 just get

00:42:10.700 five new

00:42:11.500 liberal judges

00:42:12.160 and then

00:42:13.340 it would be

00:42:13.980 a majority

00:42:15.520 liberal every

00:42:16.380 time.

00:42:17.640 Now, do you

00:42:18.240 think that the

00:42:18.800 framers of the

00:42:19.500 Constitution said

00:42:20.540 to themselves,

00:42:21.560 let's make a

00:42:22.460 Constitution where

00:42:23.740 we do not have

00:42:24.680 separation of

00:42:25.420 powers?

00:42:26.460 Because that

00:42:26.960 would be not

00:42:27.960 separation of

00:42:28.500 power.

00:42:29.600 That would be

00:42:30.060 a case where

00:42:30.620 the court was

00:42:31.340 basically just a

00:42:32.320 kangaroo court

00:42:33.220 and you would

00:42:34.600 know what

00:42:35.260 rulings they

00:42:36.520 would come up

00:42:37.300 with, largely,

00:42:38.860 just by who

00:42:40.200 you selected.

00:42:41.900 All right?

00:42:43.540 Oh, somebody's

00:42:44.160 telling me in the

00:42:44.720 comments that

00:42:45.400 FDR expanded

00:42:46.540 from seven to

00:42:47.680 nine, so I

00:42:49.900 was not aware

00:42:50.560 of that precedent.

00:42:54.060 I assume that's

00:42:54.980 true, based on

00:42:56.920 stranger in

00:42:57.700 comments.

00:42:58.500 But it

00:42:59.000 sounds like it

00:42:59.540 might be true.

00:43:00.900 So here's what

00:43:01.980 I would say.

00:43:02.880 I feel as if

00:43:03.760 this is a

00:43:04.440 hole in the

00:43:05.020 Constitution where

00:43:05.900 it's just poorly

00:43:06.600 designed because

00:43:08.060 the whole separation

00:43:09.760 of power thing

00:43:10.620 falls apart if you

00:43:12.340 can just add

00:43:13.040 justices until you

00:43:14.080 get any result you

00:43:15.000 want, assuming

00:43:16.120 that you had the

00:43:16.900 presidency and the

00:43:17.980 Senate.

00:43:18.680 So I feel like we

00:43:21.320 need to fix that.

00:43:22.140 And it doesn't

00:43:24.020 need to be

00:43:24.460 necessarily nine

00:43:25.700 justices.

00:43:26.520 That's not a

00:43:26.980 magic number or

00:43:27.740 anything.

00:43:28.520 But it needs to

00:43:30.300 be set.

00:43:32.040 Otherwise, you

00:43:34.020 just don't get it.

00:43:35.520 All right.

00:43:36.260 You just don't get

00:43:37.460 your separation.

00:43:39.560 Now, what has

00:43:40.420 caused this not

00:43:42.400 to happen in the

00:43:43.280 past?

00:43:43.700 What is it that

00:43:45.860 has kept

00:43:46.340 presidents in the

00:43:47.340 past from just

00:43:48.640 doing this every

00:43:49.340 single time?

00:43:50.500 And the only

00:43:50.920 thing that I can

00:43:51.540 think of is that

00:43:52.540 it would be a

00:43:55.080 bad look and

00:43:56.920 that there was

00:43:58.160 sort of an honor

00:43:59.060 system that you

00:44:00.340 wouldn't do that.

00:44:01.900 But the honor

00:44:02.860 system seems to

00:44:03.780 have completely

00:44:04.380 broken.

00:44:06.000 Why did the

00:44:06.900 honor system

00:44:07.660 break?

00:44:08.660 Why is it that

00:44:09.620 suddenly that

00:44:11.420 nobody cares what

00:44:13.040 McConnell said

00:44:13.980 last time versus 0.87

00:44:15.060 this time?

00:44:15.880 It just doesn't

00:44:16.680 matter because

00:44:17.440 nobody's even

00:44:18.020 trying to be

00:44:18.580 consistent.

00:44:20.820 Why are the

00:44:23.860 Democrats saying

00:44:25.000 out loud, Kamala

00:44:26.140 Harris said this

00:44:27.380 out loud with no

00:44:28.460 shame whatsoever,

00:44:29.960 that Justice

00:44:31.820 Goldberg's final

00:44:33.980 death wish should

00:44:35.360 be respected?

00:44:36.840 And I'm thinking

00:44:37.400 to myself, no,

00:44:39.120 no, it should not

00:44:40.000 be respected.

00:44:41.200 That's not the

00:44:42.120 Constitution.

00:44:43.040 The Constitution

00:44:44.140 should be

00:44:44.840 respected, but

00:44:46.880 not a deathbed

00:44:48.200 wish of a

00:44:49.480 justice.

00:44:50.840 That's not a

00:44:51.560 thing.

00:44:52.680 So why are we

00:44:53.460 even talking

00:44:54.040 about that?

00:44:54.600 Why are we

00:44:54.940 even talking in

00:44:56.240 a way that we

00:44:56.840 can just make up

00:44:57.640 the rules?

00:44:58.740 What happened to

00:44:59.420 the honor system

00:45:01.060 where we're trying

00:45:01.660 to keep the

00:45:02.200 republic together

00:45:02.980 and we all

00:45:03.800 have that goal?

00:45:05.180 Well, artificial

00:45:06.720 intelligence.

00:45:08.160 The reason that

00:45:09.040 all of our

00:45:09.780 unwritten

00:45:12.980 agreements, the

00:45:14.980 historical stuff,

00:45:16.060 the precedents,

00:45:16.920 the reason that's

00:45:17.700 all falling apart

00:45:18.720 is the AI.

00:45:20.720 The AI has

00:45:22.660 whipped our

00:45:23.520 emotional level

00:45:24.780 up above our

00:45:26.040 common sense.

00:45:27.640 So only very

00:45:29.080 reasonable people

00:45:30.480 would say,

00:45:31.640 you know, it

00:45:32.740 would be good for

00:45:33.620 us in the short

00:45:34.380 run to do this

00:45:35.440 thing with adding

00:45:36.400 justices, but it

00:45:37.920 might be bad in

00:45:38.720 the long run, so

00:45:40.280 let's not do it.

00:45:42.720 That is no

00:45:44.280 longer the

00:45:44.880 thinking of the

00:45:45.600 day because the

00:45:47.000 AI has goosed

00:45:48.420 us to the point

00:45:49.240 where we're only

00:45:50.460 thinking emotionally.

00:45:51.720 We're only

00:45:52.460 thinking about

00:45:53.120 winning and

00:45:53.600 losing.

00:45:54.060 We're only

00:45:54.420 thinking about

00:45:54.980 the fight.

00:45:55.920 That's it.

00:45:57.080 We're just

00:45:57.440 thinking about

00:45:57.880 the fight.

00:45:58.960 So artificial

00:45:59.460 intelligence just

00:46:01.700 destroyed whatever,

00:46:03.300 let's say,

00:46:05.860 human element

00:46:07.780 there was

00:46:08.380 holding the

00:46:09.020 system together.

00:46:09.880 It just

00:46:10.200 destroyed it.

00:46:12.040 What will

00:46:12.480 happen?

00:46:13.100 We'll see.

00:46:15.360 Joe Biden had

00:46:16.280 a great gaffe,

00:46:17.580 most of you

00:46:18.240 saw it, in

00:46:19.360 which he was

00:46:19.880 giving a speech

00:46:20.520 and he said,

00:46:21.660 it's estimated

00:46:22.560 that 200 0.65

00:46:23.040 million people

00:46:23.740 will die

00:46:24.320 probably by

00:46:25.600 the time I

00:46:26.160 finish this

00:46:26.740 talk.

00:46:29.540 200 million

00:46:31.060 people will

00:46:31.640 die by the

00:46:32.260 time he

00:46:32.540 finishes the

00:46:33.140 talk.

00:46:33.820 He meant

00:46:34.260 to say 200,000

00:46:35.520 but the

00:46:36.980 fact that he

00:46:38.000 doesn't

00:46:38.400 immediately

00:46:39.060 self-correct,

00:46:41.460 you know,

00:46:42.140 I've done

00:46:44.020 it, you've

00:46:44.460 done it,

00:46:44.860 everybody's

00:46:45.500 confused thousands

00:46:46.720 and millions

00:46:47.340 and billions.

00:46:50.200 It's very

00:46:50.880 common.

00:46:52.540 But if you're

00:46:53.220 speaking in

00:46:54.000 public at

00:46:54.600 that level,

00:46:55.860 when it

00:46:56.300 comes out of

00:46:56.840 your mouth, 0.74

00:46:57.480 200 million,

00:46:59.040 isn't your

00:46:59.780 filter saying

00:47:00.520 to yourself,

00:47:01.240 oh, that's

00:47:01.700 about two

00:47:02.220 thirds of the

00:47:02.700 United States,

00:47:04.220 you know,

00:47:04.860 doesn't something

00:47:06.460 just click to

00:47:07.500 tell you that

00:47:08.060 was wrong?

00:47:09.220 And that it

00:47:09.620 was just

00:47:09.880 funnier that

00:47:10.360 he finished

00:47:10.820 it with,

00:47:11.440 probably by

00:47:12.020 the time I

00:47:12.500 finish this

00:47:13.060 talk.

00:47:14.220 You know,

00:47:14.560 if any

00:47:14.980 Democrats

00:47:15.460 heard that

00:47:15.940 and believed

00:47:16.480 it,

00:47:16.760 they were

00:47:16.940 probably

00:47:17.160 thinking,

00:47:17.720 I've got to

00:47:18.260 get out of

00:47:18.620 here right

00:47:19.860 away.

00:47:20.120 So, one

00:47:23.700 of the

00:47:23.880 things that

00:47:24.400 Trump is

00:47:25.420 doing that

00:47:26.040 I thought

00:47:26.540 was smart

00:47:27.320 is he

00:47:28.360 decided to

00:47:29.260 hold off

00:47:29.900 on naming

00:47:30.520 the proposed

00:47:33.000 replacement

00:47:33.700 until after

00:47:35.580 the funeral.

00:47:37.760 So, the

00:47:38.200 funeral will

00:47:38.640 be Thursday

00:47:39.760 or Friday.

00:47:41.080 So, Trump

00:47:41.520 said that

00:47:42.340 the announcement

00:47:42.900 will be Friday

00:47:43.760 or Saturday,

00:47:44.500 but it's

00:47:44.780 going to be

00:47:45.060 after the

00:47:45.640 funeral.

00:47:46.320 And he

00:47:46.720 said,

00:47:47.140 just out of

00:47:47.820 respect.

00:47:48.220 he said

00:47:50.300 that just

00:47:50.820 out of

00:47:51.160 respect,

00:47:52.440 he would

00:47:52.880 hold off.

00:47:54.960 And I

00:47:55.260 thought,

00:47:55.720 I like

00:47:56.360 that.

00:47:57.220 I like

00:47:57.620 that.

00:47:58.100 Now, I

00:47:58.320 don't know,

00:47:59.720 you know,

00:48:00.520 I just

00:48:02.060 like it.

00:48:03.260 Let's just

00:48:03.900 say that

00:48:04.340 when you

00:48:04.680 see any

00:48:05.200 little

00:48:05.600 glimmer

00:48:07.480 of humanity

00:48:08.460 these days,

00:48:10.040 you just

00:48:11.240 got to

00:48:11.500 call it

00:48:11.840 out and

00:48:12.800 say,

00:48:13.140 all right,

00:48:13.880 all right,

00:48:14.520 I like

00:48:14.900 that.

00:48:15.580 You know,

00:48:15.760 we would

00:48:16.100 like to

00:48:16.440 get on

00:48:16.760 with it

00:48:17.140 because

00:48:17.800 time

00:48:18.340 matters.

00:48:19.360 But the

00:48:19.760 president,

00:48:20.380 even though

00:48:20.820 timing is

00:48:21.760 critical,

00:48:23.080 the president

00:48:23.640 was still

00:48:24.160 willing to

00:48:24.860 wait a

00:48:25.500 week when

00:48:27.160 a week

00:48:27.500 really matters.

00:48:28.980 He was

00:48:29.300 willing to

00:48:29.680 wait a

00:48:29.940 week,

00:48:30.480 and it

00:48:31.020 was just

00:48:31.320 out of

00:48:31.560 respect for

00:48:33.220 Ruth Bader

00:48:35.560 Ginsburg.

00:48:36.540 I'm okay

00:48:36.980 with that.

00:48:37.700 I think

00:48:37.940 that will

00:48:39.760 be a week

00:48:40.440 well spent,

00:48:41.660 right?

00:48:41.920 It's expensive

00:48:42.560 because you

00:48:43.960 don't have

00:48:44.240 much time,

00:48:44.880 so it's

00:48:45.140 expensive in

00:48:45.820 that way,

00:48:46.240 but it's

00:48:47.400 worth it.

00:48:48.680 Good choice,

00:48:49.740 I think.

00:48:50.640 All right.

00:48:51.200 One of the

00:48:51.960 top three

00:48:52.540 Supreme Court

00:48:53.180 nominees,

00:48:55.160 her last

00:48:55.800 name is

00:48:56.760 Rushing.

00:48:58.740 Seriously,

00:48:59.960 when the

00:49:00.340 only topic

00:49:00.980 we're talking

00:49:01.500 about is

00:49:02.460 are we

00:49:02.940 rushing to

00:49:04.420 this nomination

00:49:05.200 or should

00:49:06.500 we wait,

00:49:07.740 that one

00:49:08.240 of the

00:49:08.460 people is

00:49:08.920 named

00:49:09.180 Rushing

00:49:09.700 and her

00:49:10.840 first name

00:49:11.260 is

00:49:11.440 Allison.

00:49:12.460 If you

00:49:13.040 pull

00:49:13.340 Allison

00:49:13.860 apart,

00:49:15.040 it spells,

00:49:15.720 because it's

00:49:16.200 Allison with

00:49:16.820 two L's,

00:49:17.860 it spells

00:49:18.300 all is

00:49:19.240 on

00:49:19.740 rushing.

00:49:21.920 That's

00:49:22.480 her actual

00:49:22.960 name.

00:49:23.900 All is

00:49:24.440 on

00:49:24.800 rushing

00:49:25.480 at exactly

00:49:27.060 the time

00:49:27.560 when all

00:49:28.240 is on

00:49:28.680 and we're

00:49:29.180 rushing.

00:49:31.860 I just

00:49:32.600 call that

00:49:33.020 out because

00:49:33.640 you've got to

00:49:34.560 keep your eye

00:49:35.040 on the

00:49:35.280 simulation.

00:49:35.700 All right.

00:49:41.600 Let's see,

00:49:42.500 what else

00:49:42.780 we've got

00:49:43.100 here?

00:49:44.760 There was

00:49:45.640 a study

00:49:46.900 that showed

00:49:47.740 that the

00:49:50.640 people who

00:49:51.280 were most

00:49:51.880 likely to be

00:49:52.740 activists are

00:49:54.440 highly correlated

00:49:55.440 with the

00:49:56.040 people who

00:49:56.600 understand their

00:49:57.680 own topic

00:49:58.360 the least.

00:50:00.000 That's a

00:50:00.820 real thing.

00:50:01.900 The people

00:50:02.520 who are

00:50:03.020 activists,

00:50:03.960 the protesters,

00:50:05.240 the professionals,

00:50:05.700 activists,

00:50:06.980 have a very

00:50:07.680 strong correlation

00:50:08.740 with ignorance.

00:50:12.660 And

00:50:12.860 specifically

00:50:13.700 the

00:50:15.660 reason

00:50:16.820 given,

00:50:17.340 I'm not

00:50:17.660 sure I

00:50:18.000 buy the

00:50:18.360 reason,

00:50:19.080 could be

00:50:19.500 more than

00:50:19.860 one reason

00:50:20.300 for it,

00:50:20.900 but the

00:50:21.200 reason

00:50:21.460 given is

00:50:22.080 that by

00:50:22.840 the time

00:50:23.400 you think

00:50:23.900 something's

00:50:24.400 so important

00:50:25.000 that you

00:50:25.560 need to

00:50:26.060 march in

00:50:27.200 the streets

00:50:27.720 and burn 0.95

00:50:28.240 things down,

00:50:29.360 by the time

00:50:29.920 you think

00:50:30.260 something's

00:50:30.720 that important,

00:50:31.980 you're wrong

00:50:32.600 because things

00:50:34.700 probably aren't

00:50:35.280 that important.

00:50:36.400 Generally

00:50:36.840 speaking,

00:50:38.040 how bad

00:50:38.600 things are

00:50:39.260 are not

00:50:40.640 as bad

00:50:41.220 as an

00:50:41.680 activist

00:50:42.060 thinks.

00:50:42.980 So the

00:50:43.340 activist will

00:50:44.040 have a

00:50:44.800 distorted

00:50:45.760 idea of

00:50:46.900 how bad

00:50:47.400 the problem

00:50:47.920 is.

00:50:49.020 Take,

00:50:49.440 for example,

00:50:50.600 the number

00:50:51.120 of black

00:50:52.400 people killed

00:50:53.260 by police

00:50:54.060 who were

00:50:55.140 unarmed

00:50:55.820 and cooperating.

00:50:57.880 is that

00:50:59.240 a gigantic

00:51:00.260 problem?

00:51:01.560 Or is it

00:51:02.060 a problem

00:51:02.460 that the

00:51:02.880 activists

00:51:03.380 are under

00:51:04.180 informed?

00:51:05.560 Well,

00:51:05.840 you know

00:51:06.100 the answer.

00:51:07.160 Every one

00:51:07.640 of you

00:51:07.960 who is

00:51:08.360 not an

00:51:08.900 activist

00:51:09.440 knows

00:51:10.420 that part

00:51:11.860 of the

00:51:12.060 reason

00:51:12.300 you're

00:51:12.520 not an

00:51:12.920 activist

00:51:13.420 is because

00:51:14.400 there's

00:51:14.860 no problem

00:51:15.380 there.

00:51:16.440 Or the

00:51:17.640 problem

00:51:17.940 is so

00:51:18.300 small

00:51:18.760 that if

00:51:19.580 you were

00:51:19.800 going to

00:51:20.020 rank all

00:51:20.440 the problems

00:51:20.960 in the

00:51:21.240 world,

00:51:21.560 it would

00:51:21.720 take you

00:51:22.000 a long

00:51:22.260 time to

00:51:22.580 get down

00:51:22.920 to that

00:51:23.220 one,

00:51:23.560 even if

00:51:23.920 you're

00:51:24.060 black.

00:51:24.440 Right?

00:51:24.700 So even

00:51:25.560 if you

00:51:25.840 really,

00:51:26.420 really care

00:51:26.740 about

00:51:27.040 black

00:51:27.360 lies,

00:51:27.960 I hope

00:51:28.360 all of

00:51:28.660 us do,

00:51:30.140 you still

00:51:30.680 wouldn't rank

00:51:31.220 it very

00:51:31.540 high because

00:51:32.060 the number

00:51:32.560 of people

00:51:33.000 involved is

00:51:34.320 just microscopic

00:51:35.560 compared to

00:51:36.800 just about

00:51:37.180 every other

00:51:37.620 problem in

00:51:38.140 the world.

00:51:40.680 So here's

00:51:42.160 my suggestion.

00:51:43.800 Instead of

00:51:44.460 saying that

00:51:45.040 there are

00:51:45.740 some protesters

00:51:46.880 on the left

00:51:47.680 and some

00:51:48.300 on the right

00:51:48.840 and some

00:51:50.100 are supporting

00:51:50.860 Black Lives

00:51:51.540 Matter and

00:51:52.300 some are

00:51:52.720 not,

00:51:53.680 we could

00:51:54.500 just say

00:51:55.620 that there's

00:51:56.860 a wisdom

00:51:58.560 gap and

00:52:00.380 that the

00:52:00.800 people who

00:52:01.260 are marching

00:52:01.760 and looting,

00:52:05.420 they're not

00:52:06.520 the smart

00:52:06.940 ones.

00:52:08.080 Now,

00:52:08.500 what's the

00:52:09.200 obvious problem

00:52:09.920 with this?

00:52:10.660 The obvious

00:52:11.140 problem is

00:52:11.640 if you said,

00:52:12.840 hey,

00:52:13.060 Black Lives

00:52:13.560 Matter,

00:52:14.300 the problem

00:52:14.780 is you're

00:52:15.200 not very

00:52:15.600 smart,

00:52:16.800 that's

00:52:17.140 immediately

00:52:17.480 racist, 0.77

00:52:18.300 right?

00:52:19.060 I mean,

00:52:19.440 really,

00:52:19.860 really racist.

00:52:21.020 So you

00:52:21.340 can't say

00:52:21.760 that,

00:52:22.860 or can

00:52:23.640 you?

00:52:24.500 Well,

00:52:25.440 I think

00:52:25.760 you could

00:52:26.280 under the

00:52:26.940 context that

00:52:27.660 there are

00:52:27.920 more white 0.58

00:52:28.440 people protesting

00:52:29.800 for Black Lives

00:52:30.680 Matter than

00:52:31.160 there are

00:52:31.440 black people.

00:52:32.540 So you

00:52:33.340 can't even

00:52:33.740 look at the

00:52:34.140 group and

00:52:34.540 say it's

00:52:34.880 even mostly

00:52:35.520 black at

00:52:36.840 this point.

00:52:38.000 And I

00:52:38.280 suppose that's

00:52:38.780 good news

00:52:39.780 that there's

00:52:41.980 a willingness

00:52:42.860 to support

00:52:44.640 the black

00:52:45.180 community among

00:52:45.920 the white

00:52:46.440 community.

00:52:46.980 I like that

00:52:47.440 part.

00:52:47.980 That part's

00:52:48.440 good.

00:52:49.300 But can't

00:52:50.320 we just

00:52:50.640 call them

00:52:51.060 collectively

00:52:51.680 less

00:52:53.500 intelligent

00:52:53.960 or less

00:52:55.700 informed

00:52:56.240 or

00:52:57.520 less

00:53:00.120 experienced,

00:53:01.260 less

00:53:01.460 wise?

00:53:02.800 Are they

00:53:03.260 low

00:53:03.500 information

00:53:04.000 voters?

00:53:05.060 Imagine if

00:53:05.840 you would

00:53:06.300 that the

00:53:06.980 news reported

00:53:07.860 that there's

00:53:09.480 another protest

00:53:10.360 of low

00:53:10.820 information

00:53:11.360 voters.

00:53:12.520 And they

00:53:12.720 just always

00:53:13.300 said that.

00:53:14.340 They never

00:53:14.960 said it's

00:53:15.580 Black Lives

00:53:16.160 Matter,

00:53:17.300 it's

00:53:17.620 Antifa,

00:53:18.340 they just

00:53:18.600 never said

00:53:19.060 that.

00:53:19.340 Because if

00:53:20.420 you're

00:53:20.620 Antifa,

00:53:21.740 could you

00:53:22.520 be Antifa

00:53:23.240 and be

00:53:23.880 a high

00:53:24.820 information

00:53:25.360 voter?

00:53:26.760 No.

00:53:28.640 No.

00:53:29.780 Because Antifa

00:53:30.720 literally wants

00:53:31.820 to destroy

00:53:32.440 everything if

00:53:33.820 they get

00:53:34.140 their way.

00:53:34.780 You can't

00:53:35.500 actually

00:53:35.860 understand how

00:53:36.820 the world

00:53:37.200 works and

00:53:38.480 be in favor

00:53:39.020 of Antifa.

00:53:39.880 That's not a

00:53:40.460 thing.

00:53:41.200 You just

00:53:41.580 can't do

00:53:42.000 it.

00:53:42.520 You have

00:53:43.020 to be a

00:53:43.820 low information

00:53:44.560 citizen to

00:53:47.000 be an

00:53:48.440 Antifa

00:53:48.800 supporter.

00:53:50.100 There's

00:53:50.580 just no

00:53:50.880 way around

00:53:51.260 that.

00:53:52.100 And I

00:53:54.360 would give

00:53:54.700 as my

00:53:55.060 evidence,

00:53:56.240 get any

00:53:56.780 Antifa

00:53:57.220 person to

00:53:57.960 sit down

00:53:58.620 with you

00:53:59.000 and describe

00:54:00.360 what their

00:54:01.200 world looks

00:54:01.900 like if

00:54:02.440 they get

00:54:02.820 everything

00:54:03.160 they want.

00:54:04.340 And make

00:54:05.160 sure you

00:54:05.560 ask this

00:54:06.100 question.

00:54:07.260 In your

00:54:07.660 perfect world

00:54:08.480 where you

00:54:08.860 get everything

00:54:09.340 you want,

00:54:09.960 Antifa,

00:54:11.180 where does

00:54:11.660 money come

00:54:12.400 from?

00:54:13.980 How do

00:54:14.520 you get

00:54:15.120 money?

00:54:16.060 Because the

00:54:16.460 whole system

00:54:16.960 would fall

00:54:17.420 apart.

00:54:18.120 There would

00:54:18.340 be no

00:54:18.660 money.

00:54:19.340 So I

00:54:22.280 think

00:54:22.680 Antifa

00:54:23.160 far more

00:54:24.540 than Black 0.97

00:54:25.000 Lives Matter.

00:54:26.000 If you

00:54:26.660 were to

00:54:26.960 rank them

00:54:27.520 in terms

00:54:28.560 of how

00:54:28.920 much they

00:54:29.300 understand

00:54:29.940 about the

00:54:30.360 world,

00:54:31.300 Black Lives

00:54:31.820 Matter would 0.90

00:54:32.460 still be way

00:54:33.380 above Antifa.

00:54:35.280 Antifa

00:54:35.880 doesn't

00:54:37.400 understand

00:54:37.920 anything about

00:54:38.760 the world.

00:54:40.680 Black Lives

00:54:41.360 Matter would 0.90

00:54:41.840 be not

00:54:43.500 nearly as

00:54:43.980 bad as

00:54:44.260 that.

00:54:44.460 bad.

00:54:46.200 Now

00:54:46.780 there's

00:54:46.960 somebody

00:54:47.160 saying

00:54:47.460 here

00:54:47.680 that

00:54:48.020 there

00:54:48.300 are

00:54:48.360 low

00:54:48.720 IQ

00:54:49.120 populations

00:54:50.080 and I

00:54:50.480 would

00:54:50.600 say

00:54:50.760 no.

00:54:51.700 The

00:54:52.020 weird

00:54:52.220 thing

00:54:52.460 about

00:54:52.700 this

00:54:52.940 is

00:54:53.140 I

00:54:53.320 don't

00:54:53.660 believe

00:54:54.120 there's

00:54:54.560 an IQ

00:54:55.120 correlation

00:54:55.840 at all.

00:54:57.100 Because

00:54:57.600 you see a lot

00:54:58.680 of the people

00:54:59.120 who are

00:54:59.420 protesting

00:54:59.840 are literally

00:55:00.560 teachers and

00:55:01.560 professors and

00:55:02.260 stuff.

00:55:02.800 It's

00:55:03.060 definitely

00:55:03.380 not an

00:55:03.840 IQ

00:55:04.200 problem.

00:55:05.440 It is

00:55:06.580 a wisdom

00:55:07.840 problem.

00:55:09.260 It is

00:55:09.840 a wisdom

00:55:10.240 or a knowledge

00:55:11.400 problem.

00:55:11.800 So if

00:55:13.440 we just

00:55:13.820 treated it

00:55:14.300 that way

00:55:14.700 it would

00:55:15.060 go away. 0.82

00:55:15.800 But do

00:55:16.340 you know

00:55:16.480 why we

00:55:16.840 can't

00:55:17.160 treat it

00:55:17.500 like a

00:55:18.760 knowledge

00:55:19.060 or a

00:55:19.520 wisdom

00:55:19.740 problem?

00:55:21.020 Take a

00:55:21.680 guess.

00:55:22.500 What is

00:55:22.940 it that

00:55:23.300 prevents

00:55:23.720 us from

00:55:24.960 treating

00:55:25.460 the

00:55:25.980 protesters

00:55:26.560 as what

00:55:27.480 they are?

00:55:28.420 People who

00:55:29.140 don't

00:55:29.400 understand

00:55:29.900 how the

00:55:30.240 world

00:55:30.460 works.

00:55:31.440 That's

00:55:31.680 what they

00:55:31.980 are.

00:55:32.580 They're

00:55:32.780 people who

00:55:33.180 don't

00:55:33.440 quite have

00:55:33.940 a good

00:55:34.260 understanding

00:55:34.800 of the

00:55:35.140 world.

00:55:36.840 The

00:55:37.360 reason

00:55:37.640 is

00:55:38.080 AI.

00:55:40.560 AI.

00:55:40.860 AI prevents

00:55:43.140 us from

00:55:43.980 framing that

00:55:44.760 properly

00:55:45.360 because if

00:55:46.180 you framed

00:55:46.700 it properly

00:55:47.340 there wouldn't

00:55:49.460 be enough

00:55:49.820 clicks.

00:55:51.100 So we

00:55:51.780 can't do

00:55:52.100 that.

00:55:55.860 All right.

00:55:59.800 Yeah,

00:56:00.400 where they

00:56:01.180 get the

00:56:01.460 money is

00:56:01.800 taking it

00:56:02.240 from rich

00:56:02.640 people but

00:56:03.280 obviously

00:56:03.900 there's a

00:56:05.420 limit to

00:56:05.860 that.

00:56:06.760 Okay,

00:56:07.200 that's all

00:56:07.580 I got to

00:56:07.900 say about

00:56:08.200 today.

00:56:09.820 Remember,

00:56:10.300 the news

00:56:11.240 is a

00:56:11.640 little bit

00:56:12.180 slow and

00:56:13.840 you know

00:56:14.200 it's not

00:56:14.620 going to

00:56:14.860 stay that

00:56:15.320 way.

00:56:15.920 Tuesday

00:56:16.280 tends to

00:56:17.000 be a

00:56:17.240 big news

00:56:17.740 day.

00:56:18.620 So I

00:56:18.860 would look

00:56:19.220 for some

00:56:19.880 big news

00:56:20.620 either

00:56:20.920 tonight,

00:56:22.100 maybe late

00:56:22.620 afternoon,

00:56:23.360 or tomorrow.

00:56:25.100 You might

00:56:25.380 wake up to

00:56:26.400 some big

00:56:27.040 news.

00:56:27.500 We'll see.

00:56:29.640 Margaret

00:56:30.160 Thatcher said

00:56:30.920 that socialism

00:56:31.560 is great

00:56:32.200 until you

00:56:32.600 run out of

00:56:33.120 other people's

00:56:33.800 money.

00:56:34.580 That's a

00:56:35.020 good quote.

00:56:36.380 All right,

00:56:36.840 that's all

00:56:37.180 for now.

00:56:38.200 Talk to

00:56:38.540 you later.

00:56:38.780 Good

00:56:39.760 good

00:56:40.580 word.

00:56:40.620 Good

00:56:40.820 good

00:56:40.840 good

00:56:41.240 talk to

00:56:41.540 you later.

00:56:50.160 Thank you.
