Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1382 Scott Adams： OMG the News is Delicious This Morning. The Big Lie Just Collided With the Big Truth

00:00:00.000 Oh, wow. What a day today is. It is so good. Delicious, really.

00:00:11.920 Wait till I tell you about it, because it's not obvious.

00:00:15.080 You need a little bit of framing to see it.

00:00:19.600 But if you would like to enjoy today to the maximum potential,

00:00:25.200 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen,

00:00:28.820 a glass, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:32.820 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:36.420 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:38.340 Wait, wait, wait.

00:00:40.060 Those of you who are listening in real time,

00:00:42.260 we're going to play a trick on the people who are watching this in recorded time

00:00:47.540 and fast-forwarding past the simultaneous sip.

00:00:51.420 The first one's going to be a fake out.

00:00:53.220 Don't go for it. Don't go for it.

00:00:54.880 If you're watching this live, it's a trick.

00:00:57.120 Don't go for it.

00:00:58.100 It looks like I'm sipping, but I'm not.

00:01:00.820 Ah, now it looks like I'm done.

00:01:02.680 If you're playing this on fast-forward,

00:01:04.920 it looks like you fast-forwarded through the simultaneous sip, doesn't it?

00:01:09.140 Now you think this is where the content happens.

00:01:11.760 Gotcha!

00:01:12.840 This is the simultaneous sip.

00:01:14.400 This is the real one.

00:01:15.780 Go!

00:01:19.980 Ah, yeah, all you fast-forwarders,

00:01:22.400 you think you beat the system?

00:01:23.800 But no, sometimes the system's got a little bit of fight left in it.

00:01:28.260 And you will someday be part of the simultaneous sip.

00:01:32.020 You don't know it yet.

00:01:33.800 No, you don't know it yet.

00:01:35.620 But it's coming.

00:01:37.180 Oh, is it coming?

00:01:39.020 Speaking of that,

00:01:39.860 my book,

00:01:40.360 my book,

00:01:40.440 Had a Failed Almost Everything and Still Win Big,

00:01:42.880 has been re-recorded in my own voice for the first time.

00:01:47.820 It was a professional actor.

00:01:50.060 But by popular demand,

00:01:51.920 people,

00:01:52.380 especially people who watch the live stream,

00:01:54.800 said,

00:01:55.180 it bothers us because it's not your voice.

00:01:57.960 But now it is.

00:01:59.240 So,

00:02:00.140 ask and you shall receive.

00:02:01.700 It's available now

00:02:02.580 at Amazon and wherever you buy audiobooks.

00:02:07.360 So,

00:02:08.040 I would like to update

00:02:10.600 some things which I've said in the past

00:02:13.220 which were totally, totally wrong.

00:02:16.280 So,

00:02:16.780 this will be the section where

00:02:18.460 Scott eats crow,

00:02:21.480 like lots of it.

00:02:23.180 Three crows,

00:02:24.220 at least.

00:02:25.180 This is a three crow morning,

00:02:27.140 so you might enjoy this.

00:02:28.600 Here are three things I've said in the past

00:02:31.000 that I know now to not be true.

00:02:35.180 Number one,

00:02:36.180 I've said,

00:02:37.160 narcissism isn't real.

00:02:39.100 It's just people who think well of themselves.

00:02:41.040 What's wrong with that?

00:02:42.620 I'm going to tell you why I'm wrong about that.

00:02:45.700 Projection.

00:02:46.940 I've said,

00:02:47.680 projection isn't real.

00:02:49.520 People don't actually blame other people

00:02:51.660 for the crimes they're committing at the moment.

00:02:54.180 That's not a real thing.

00:02:57.100 That's a real thing.

00:02:59.700 Number three,

00:03:00.500 gaslighting.

00:03:01.920 I told you,

00:03:03.060 there's no such thing as gaslighting.

00:03:05.420 That's just something that happened in a movie.

00:03:07.420 Sure,

00:03:07.720 some people are wrong about things.

00:03:09.900 Some people are crazy.

00:03:11.000 But there's no gaslighting.

00:03:13.760 That's not a real thing.

00:03:16.620 Gaslighting is a real thing.

00:03:18.980 Here's why I was wrong.

00:03:21.220 And in learning why I was wrong,

00:03:25.780 you're going to learn something

00:03:27.220 maybe kind of important.

00:03:30.120 It goes like this.

00:03:32.180 First of all,

00:03:32.860 narcissism,

00:03:33.800 when I was saying it's not real,

00:03:35.840 it's just people who have a good opinion of themselves,

00:03:38.420 and it might actually

00:03:39.220 help them perform better,

00:03:41.500 it turns out that narcissism

00:03:43.480 is not just thinking you're pretty great.

00:03:46.980 because if that's all it was,

00:03:50.800 a lot of people would be narcissists.

00:03:53.180 But it turns out that like addiction,

00:03:55.900 have you ever been around anybody who was addicted,

00:03:58.160 let's say an alcoholic?

00:04:00.280 And have you ever been amazed

00:04:02.500 that when you start reading the literature,

00:04:05.980 that somebody who's an alcoholic

00:04:07.540 fits a whole bunch of behavior predictions

00:04:12.660 that are so specific,

00:04:15.520 you think,

00:04:16.720 well, that can't be so predictive.

00:04:20.460 Couldn't it be that just all kinds of different people,

00:04:23.340 they like alcohol more than other people,

00:04:26.540 and that's all it is?

00:04:28.520 Why would it be that the people

00:04:30.080 who seem to be alcoholics

00:04:31.640 have behavior in common?

00:04:34.540 Like, that doesn't make sense, right?

00:04:36.560 But it's true.

00:04:37.560 I mean, anybody who's been around addicts

00:04:39.940 knows there's a certain set of behaviors

00:04:42.140 that you can pretty much rely on

00:04:44.200 for this group of people.

00:04:46.840 Now, it turns out

00:04:47.880 that narcissism is this sort of catch-all category

00:04:51.820 for a bunch of behaviors.

00:04:54.220 And there's more than one kind of narcissism, etc.

00:04:57.100 The kind which I was speaking to

00:04:59.420 when I said it's not real,

00:05:01.820 I maintained that same opinion,

00:05:04.660 but I was using the word wrong.

00:05:06.900 So my opinion didn't change,

00:05:08.520 but my definition of what that word means

00:05:11.000 is now modified.

00:05:13.080 So my opinion that if somebody's only problem is

00:05:15.680 they think they're a little bit better

00:05:17.120 than they really are,

00:05:19.300 that's not a mental health problem.

00:05:22.380 Because I live in that world all the time,

00:05:25.400 and it just helps me perform better.

00:05:27.720 I mean, let me give you an example.

00:05:30.300 When I was a kid,

00:05:31.380 I believed that with no training whatsoever,

00:05:34.940 I could someday become

00:05:37.080 one of the most famous cartoonists in the world.

00:05:41.140 Am I a narcissist?

00:05:43.680 Yeah.

00:05:44.680 Yeah, that's a completely

00:05:45.780 unreasonable,

00:05:48.360 imaginary hallucination

00:05:51.400 of what I could do.

00:05:52.960 Now, it turns out I did that.

00:05:54.500 When I wrote my first book,

00:05:57.720 I said to myself,

00:05:58.640 I've never even taken a class in writing

00:06:00.920 except one workshop on business writing.

00:06:04.980 And I thought,

00:06:06.020 but I'll bet I could write a best-selling book

00:06:08.060 on my first try.

00:06:12.140 Narcissist.

00:06:13.040 I mean, what else would you call that, really?

00:06:15.300 How many people say,

00:06:17.000 hey, I think I could write a best-selling book

00:06:18.780 even though I've never written anything like a book?

00:06:21.240 Well, I said that.

00:06:25.360 Wouldn't you diagnose that

00:06:26.740 as a little bit

00:06:27.480 not quite right?

00:06:30.360 Right?

00:06:31.340 So I wrote my first book,

00:06:32.860 The Dilber Principle,

00:06:33.760 and it was a number one bestseller for weeks.

00:06:37.500 What do you do with that?

00:06:40.060 Right?

00:06:41.260 My longest fantasy that I've ever had

00:06:43.940 from childhood

00:06:45.940 is that someday my opinions

00:06:48.700 would be so valued

00:06:50.480 that I would be invited

00:06:51.560 to the White House

00:06:53.020 to talk to the president

00:06:54.220 in the Oval Office.

00:06:56.280 An actual, literal,

00:06:58.460 continuous,

00:07:00.360 I guess, fantasy, if you will,

00:07:03.560 that someday

00:07:04.100 I would just be recognized

00:07:06.140 as having opinions

00:07:07.400 worthy of the president

00:07:09.280 inviting me over just to chat.

00:07:12.420 And then that happened.

00:07:14.140 That literally exactly happened.

00:07:17.060 Now what do I do with that?

00:07:18.880 Right?

00:07:19.080 Should I check myself

00:07:21.560 into a mental health clinic?

00:07:23.540 Because I've had thoughts

00:07:25.100 about my own potential success

00:07:27.200 that are really unreasonable.

00:07:29.860 I mean, by any measure...

00:07:32.620 Well, thank you, Mike.

00:07:34.340 That is far too kind.

00:07:37.000 By any measure,

00:07:38.620 I fit the definition, right?

00:07:40.600 But it's not mental health

00:07:43.540 in terms of it being an issue

00:07:45.420 because it actually seems

00:07:47.140 to motivate me

00:07:47.980 to work harder

00:07:49.340 and accomplish things.

00:07:51.500 So here's the point.

00:07:53.240 When I was saying

00:07:54.040 that narcissism

00:07:55.000 is not a problem,

00:07:56.920 it's not a mental health problem,

00:07:58.840 the mental health professionals

00:08:00.080 actually agree with that.

00:08:02.380 Okay?

00:08:03.480 The kind I was just describing,

00:08:05.660 the very narrow kind

00:08:06.900 where you just have

00:08:08.080 a pretty good opinion

00:08:08.860 of your abilities,

00:08:10.240 probably not a problem

00:08:11.520 because it makes you happy.

00:08:13.540 It might bother other people,

00:08:15.060 but that's sort of

00:08:15.780 their problem, right?

00:08:17.360 So I'm going to stick

00:08:18.600 with my opinion

00:08:19.380 that if you were to

00:08:20.940 very narrowly

00:08:22.380 and incorrectly,

00:08:23.500 by the way,

00:08:24.040 if you were to incorrectly

00:08:25.380 use narcissism

00:08:27.220 just for a high opinion

00:08:28.200 of yourself,

00:08:29.000 that's not a mental problem.

00:08:30.540 So I keep that opinion.

00:08:32.440 Professionals agree with me.

00:08:34.840 What I didn't know

00:08:35.860 is that there's

00:08:36.540 this whole set

00:08:37.160 of other behaviors

00:08:38.060 that come with it.

00:08:39.180 One of them is projection

00:08:40.460 that only the narcissists do.

00:08:44.060 So when I said,

00:08:45.260 that's not real,

00:08:46.640 people don't literally

00:08:47.980 accuse you

00:08:48.840 of the thing they're doing.

00:08:50.860 Like that would just be

00:08:51.860 so on the nose.

00:08:54.260 But, and it is true

00:08:55.660 that people don't do that.

00:08:58.120 Your average person

00:08:59.380 doesn't do projection.

00:09:00.640 I mean, not much.

00:09:01.760 Maybe they do a little.

00:09:03.160 But the narcissists

00:09:04.160 do it only.

00:09:05.800 They do it continuously.

00:09:08.180 So that's just part

00:09:09.300 of the personality trait

00:09:10.400 that comes with the package.

00:09:12.300 The other is

00:09:13.200 the gaslighting question,

00:09:15.120 which I said,

00:09:15.820 there's no such thing

00:09:16.600 as gaslighting.

00:09:18.020 I was correct

00:09:19.320 in the definition

00:09:21.480 I was using,

00:09:22.200 which was the original definition.

00:09:24.280 Where I'm incorrect,

00:09:26.400 100% incorrect,

00:09:28.360 and by the way,

00:09:29.940 when I'm done with this,

00:09:31.000 I know from experience

00:09:32.220 that I can say a sentence like,

00:09:34.800 I was 100% incorrect,

00:09:37.680 and somebody later will say,

00:09:39.320 why don't you admit

00:09:39.940 you were wrong?

00:09:41.460 And I'll say,

00:09:42.320 what does 100% incorrect

00:09:44.580 sound like

00:09:45.760 if not admitting you're wrong?

00:09:48.100 But watch,

00:09:48.980 it's going to happen

00:09:49.500 in the comments.

00:09:50.060 And here's the difference.

00:09:53.060 Gaslighting the way

00:09:53.780 it was originally invented,

00:09:55.860 shall we say,

00:09:57.060 was making somebody

00:09:58.420 doubt their sanity,

00:10:01.380 but that's your point.

00:10:02.840 You're trying to make somebody

00:10:04.140 think they're crazy.

00:10:05.540 The way it's been used

00:10:06.940 in popular use

00:10:08.240 is not like that.

00:10:10.200 So the original definition,

00:10:12.380 I still say,

00:10:13.680 it's not a thing.

00:10:14.700 People aren't doing that.

00:10:15.800 Nobody's doing that.

00:10:16.660 But the way it's used

00:10:18.660 in popular discussion,

00:10:21.260 and now I would say

00:10:22.220 it's common usage,

00:10:23.220 so I would say

00:10:23.900 that the definition,

00:10:25.520 I will respect that definition

00:10:27.240 because it's common usage now,

00:10:28.840 which is that

00:10:29.940 there's so much lying going on

00:10:32.160 that you start thinking

00:10:33.720 you're crazy,

00:10:35.000 but it has nothing to do

00:10:36.640 with the intention

00:10:37.300 of the person doing it.

00:10:38.720 The person doing it

00:10:39.760 is just lying.

00:10:41.480 That's it.

00:10:42.200 They're just lying.

00:10:42.820 The effect

00:10:44.680 is that you think

00:10:45.700 you're crazy,

00:10:46.460 but nobody's intentionally

00:10:48.180 making you crazy.

00:10:49.700 That's where I had a difference

00:10:51.080 with the definition,

00:10:52.900 but given that gaslighting

00:10:54.280 is apparently something

00:10:55.840 that every narcissist does,

00:10:57.460 along with projection,

00:10:59.180 along with lying,

00:11:00.340 and here's,

00:11:01.560 you want to hear

00:11:02.280 the freakiest part?

00:11:04.680 All right,

00:11:04.980 here's the part

00:11:05.660 I'm not sure

00:11:06.380 you're going to believe,

00:11:08.560 but it goes like this.

00:11:10.840 The narcissist,

00:11:13.440 in order to protect

00:11:14.580 their fragile ego,

00:11:16.060 which is apparently

00:11:16.780 the source

00:11:17.920 of all the other behavior,

00:11:19.980 will have instant

00:11:21.340 memory loss

00:11:23.260 when they are caught

00:11:25.220 in a lie,

00:11:26.320 and it will look to you

00:11:28.000 like they're just lying again,

00:11:30.060 but it's not.

00:11:31.320 It's freakier than that.

00:11:32.980 It's instant rewriting

00:11:34.460 of memories,

00:11:35.500 and when you see it

00:11:36.660 in person,

00:11:37.220 it's like,

00:11:37.700 you won't even believe it.

00:11:40.840 So these are behaviors

00:11:42.880 that are very specific

00:11:44.080 to a certain type

00:11:45.680 of person.

00:11:47.800 So let's talk

00:11:48.820 about Joe Scarborough.

00:11:52.220 You may have seen

00:11:53.220 this morning

00:11:53.760 that he had a big rant

00:11:54.960 where he was yelling,

00:11:57.360 and, you know,

00:11:58.100 of course,

00:11:58.600 some of it was theatrical,

00:12:00.240 but it looked like

00:12:01.160 he was actually

00:12:01.840 a little bit

00:12:02.400 out of control.

00:12:04.080 You can't tell

00:12:04.760 how much was

00:12:05.420 for the camera.

00:12:06.240 But

00:12:07.960 is there anything

00:12:10.240 that would trigger

00:12:11.880 Joe Scarborough

00:12:13.560 into rage?

00:12:15.560 Anything

00:12:16.060 that would look like,

00:12:17.600 oh,

00:12:17.860 did I mention

00:12:18.540 that there's another term

00:12:20.680 that's called

00:12:21.260 the narcissistic rage?

00:12:23.240 Have you ever heard of it?

00:12:25.520 Narcissistic rage

00:12:26.440 happens when you

00:12:27.440 catch somebody lying

00:12:28.780 who is a narcissist.

00:12:30.880 So,

00:12:31.620 let's say,

00:12:32.200 for example,

00:12:32.660 the narcissist

00:12:35.340 said,

00:12:35.900 there's nothing

00:12:36.320 in my hand.

00:12:38.040 But yet,

00:12:38.820 you could point to it

00:12:40.180 and say,

00:12:40.580 um,

00:12:41.300 there's something

00:12:42.180 in your hand.

00:12:43.320 Right there.

00:12:44.460 Right there.

00:12:45.780 And the narcissist

00:12:46.460 will say,

00:12:47.120 no,

00:12:47.600 there isn't.

00:12:48.660 No,

00:12:49.020 there's nothing

00:12:49.440 in my hand.

00:12:50.720 And you'll say,

00:12:51.740 let me get

00:12:52.440 a hundred scientists

00:12:54.380 and they do a study.

00:12:55.780 Yeah,

00:12:56.000 that's,

00:12:56.580 we're all looking at it.

00:12:57.640 It's right in your hand.

00:12:59.300 But if you catch

00:13:00.600 a narcissist

00:13:02.080 cold,

00:13:03.440 like,

00:13:03.760 like there's just

00:13:04.420 no way out,

00:13:05.680 they have a very

00:13:07.120 predictable path

00:13:08.540 next.

00:13:09.680 Do you know what it is?

00:13:11.260 Rage.

00:13:12.540 Yeah,

00:13:13.160 if you catch a narcissist

00:13:14.360 and a lie,

00:13:15.660 they won't just

00:13:16.940 lie again,

00:13:18.220 although they might

00:13:18.880 try that first.

00:13:19.760 But when they know

00:13:20.520 they can't get out

00:13:21.240 of the lie,

00:13:22.240 they go into a rage

00:13:23.600 and the problem is you

00:13:24.920 and things that you've

00:13:26.280 done in the past.

00:13:28.120 Apparently,

00:13:28.800 that is so predictable

00:13:30.100 within this

00:13:31.400 personality set

00:13:32.440 of traits

00:13:32.920 that you can just say,

00:13:34.060 okay,

00:13:34.300 this is going to

00:13:34.820 happen next.

00:13:36.000 Caught you in a lie,

00:13:37.760 narcissistic rage

00:13:38.880 comes next,

00:13:40.160 after that will be

00:13:41.240 blaming me

00:13:42.180 for something

00:13:43.560 that happened

00:13:44.020 a long time ago.

00:13:46.280 And look how

00:13:47.160 specific that is.

00:13:48.800 Blaming you

00:13:49.640 for something

00:13:50.300 that happened

00:13:50.820 a long time ago

00:13:51.960 to get the,

00:13:53.260 to divert you

00:13:53.880 from what's

00:13:54.300 happening to today.

00:13:56.020 That's very specific.

00:13:57.520 And it's part

00:13:59.460 of the personality

00:14:00.720 trait,

00:14:01.400 which is weird.

00:14:03.440 So was there

00:14:04.240 anything that would

00:14:04.880 have triggered

00:14:05.580 Joe Scarborough,

00:14:07.740 anything that would

00:14:08.780 have made him

00:14:10.280 look embarrassed,

00:14:12.480 meaning wrong,

00:14:14.480 in public?

00:14:16.340 Was there anything

00:14:17.520 that would make

00:14:18.060 Joe Scarborough

00:14:19.340 feel wrong

00:14:20.480 about something

00:14:21.100 really important

00:14:22.020 in public?

00:14:23.620 Well,

00:14:24.240 while he was

00:14:24.760 having the rant,

00:14:25.520 there was a chyron,

00:14:27.280 or the words

00:14:28.080 that appear

00:14:28.540 in the bottom

00:14:28.920 of the screen,

00:14:30.200 put there by

00:14:30.800 his producers

00:14:31.520 that was talking

00:14:32.520 about how

00:14:33.860 the Arizona

00:14:35.520 Secretary of State

00:14:36.920 says that the

00:14:38.560 audit that's

00:14:39.200 happening in

00:14:39.720 Maricopa County

00:14:40.720 is a problem

00:14:43.260 because apparently

00:14:44.560 the Republicans

00:14:45.320 took control

00:14:46.320 of the voting

00:14:47.100 machines that

00:14:47.760 have been used

00:14:48.240 in 2020,

00:14:49.520 and the chain

00:14:50.540 of custody

00:14:51.120 and the control

00:14:52.180 is sloppy.

00:14:53.120 And so the

00:14:54.620 Arizona Secretary

00:14:55.880 of State

00:14:56.520 says that they

00:14:58.080 should replace

00:14:59.060 every voting

00:15:00.560 machine that

00:15:02.640 was under the

00:15:03.300 control of the

00:15:04.000 Republicans for

00:15:04.800 a time because

00:15:06.160 the fear is,

00:15:08.100 are you ahead

00:15:09.000 of me yet?

00:15:10.760 Did you get

00:15:11.860 there yet?

00:15:12.820 All right,

00:15:13.020 for those of you

00:15:13.560 who aren't at the

00:15:14.780 finish line yet,

00:15:15.580 I'll just complete

00:15:16.340 this.

00:15:17.660 So the Arizona

00:15:18.780 Secretary of State

00:15:19.980 has confirmed

00:15:22.080 that voting

00:15:25.700 machines which

00:15:26.480 are not

00:15:27.020 connected to

00:15:27.820 the Internet

00:15:28.340 are so

00:15:30.800 vulnerable to

00:15:32.280 hacking,

00:15:33.640 they should be

00:15:34.880 replaced

00:15:35.800 physically.

00:15:38.580 Not just

00:15:40.020 reset them,

00:15:42.080 not just

00:15:42.680 erase the

00:15:43.300 memory,

00:15:44.580 but physically

00:15:45.960 throw them

00:15:46.960 away.

00:15:47.520 Now,

00:15:50.140 wasn't a

00:15:51.660 big part

00:15:52.320 of the

00:15:52.580 big lie

00:15:53.320 that if

00:15:55.600 something

00:15:55.920 wasn't

00:15:56.420 connected to

00:15:57.060 the Internet,

00:15:58.520 it couldn't

00:16:00.560 be hacked?

00:16:03.100 But now

00:16:04.140 we see

00:16:04.700 from the

00:16:05.640 Democrats,

00:16:06.880 they're saying

00:16:08.860 if you have

00:16:09.620 our machines

00:16:10.400 not connected

00:16:11.800 to the Internet

00:16:12.500 and you've

00:16:13.960 ever touched

00:16:14.860 them,

00:16:15.400 they're not

00:16:17.180 secure.

00:16:19.020 Now,

00:16:19.640 imagine being

00:16:20.420 Joe Scarborough

00:16:21.640 and you've

00:16:22.940 been selling

00:16:23.460 to the world

00:16:24.240 that not

00:16:25.520 only was

00:16:26.460 there no

00:16:26.960 fraud,

00:16:27.800 but there

00:16:28.500 couldn't be

00:16:29.320 and you'd

00:16:29.980 be a

00:16:30.420 fucking

00:16:30.740 idiot if

00:16:31.520 you thought

00:16:31.920 it was

00:16:32.220 even

00:16:32.600 possible.

00:16:34.460 Do you

00:16:35.160 see it

00:16:35.460 now?

00:16:37.920 What would

00:16:38.720 happen if

00:16:39.800 the biggest

00:16:40.480 claim you've

00:16:41.280 been making

00:16:41.700 on television

00:16:42.360 for months

00:16:43.080 that there's

00:16:44.320 just no

00:16:45.040 way that

00:16:45.500 any of

00:16:45.860 this could

00:16:46.240 have been

00:16:46.560 insecure

00:16:47.120 and you

00:16:49.120 just proved

00:16:49.840 that it

00:16:50.140 was insecure

00:16:51.340 because your

00:16:52.400 own team

00:16:53.260 just said

00:16:54.260 so?

00:16:56.920 What's that

00:16:57.740 make you do?

00:16:59.180 Well,

00:16:59.960 the theory

00:17:00.540 is if you

00:17:02.200 imagine that

00:17:02.900 he was a

00:17:04.440 narcissist,

00:17:05.400 I'm not

00:17:05.720 saying he

00:17:06.120 is because

00:17:06.540 I certainly

00:17:07.960 can't read

00:17:08.640 minds and

00:17:09.180 I can't

00:17:09.460 diagnose people

00:17:10.180 at a

00:17:11.400 distance.

00:17:12.660 But as

00:17:13.120 a mental

00:17:13.660 model for

00:17:14.340 you to

00:17:14.580 keep in

00:17:14.880 your mind

00:17:15.420 to simply

00:17:16.140 explain the

00:17:16.960 world,

00:17:18.480 ask yourself

00:17:19.160 this,

00:17:20.680 does Joe

00:17:21.560 Scarborough

00:17:22.080 ever think

00:17:22.740 that his

00:17:23.120 opinions are

00:17:23.900 say better

00:17:24.580 than other

00:17:24.960 people's?

00:17:26.940 We would

00:17:27.220 say yes.

00:17:28.380 Everybody in

00:17:29.160 that job has

00:17:29.800 that opinion

00:17:30.240 including me.

00:17:32.580 Does he

00:17:33.340 ever say

00:17:35.360 condescending

00:17:36.220 things about

00:17:37.000 people who

00:17:37.460 disagree with

00:17:38.100 him?

00:17:38.400 That's his

00:17:38.840 whole show.

00:17:40.040 His whole

00:17:40.440 show is

00:17:40.820 saying

00:17:41.040 condescending

00:17:41.660 things about

00:17:42.280 people he

00:17:42.740 thinks he's

00:17:43.120 better than.

00:17:44.260 They're

00:17:44.500 called

00:17:44.760 Republicans.

00:17:47.620 So he

00:17:48.380 certainly

00:17:48.800 fits at

00:17:49.700 least the

00:17:50.280 description

00:17:50.900 of somebody

00:17:52.460 who would

00:17:52.780 be in

00:17:52.980 that category.

00:17:53.600 That's not

00:17:53.940 a diagnosis.

00:17:55.120 It would

00:17:55.360 be totally

00:17:55.920 irresponsible

00:17:57.320 for me to

00:17:57.980 make a

00:17:58.600 diagnosis of

00:17:59.400 somebody that

00:18:00.080 I've never

00:18:00.420 met in

00:18:00.760 person.

00:18:03.520 But

00:18:04.040 watching this

00:18:04.940 is so

00:18:05.760 delicious.

00:18:06.740 And I'm

00:18:06.940 not sure

00:18:07.520 that the

00:18:09.240 public at

00:18:09.760 large has

00:18:10.240 connected the

00:18:10.920 dots yet.

00:18:12.800 I think

00:18:13.560 that by

00:18:13.940 this afternoon

00:18:14.780 at least

00:18:15.920 Fox News

00:18:16.720 will have

00:18:17.160 realized that

00:18:18.540 the Democrats

00:18:19.300 have proven

00:18:19.940 their case

00:18:20.600 that the

00:18:21.680 system wasn't

00:18:22.360 secure because

00:18:23.380 it can't be.

00:18:24.880 There's no

00:18:25.300 such thing as

00:18:25.860 a secure

00:18:26.380 system when

00:18:27.040 you have

00:18:27.380 technology

00:18:28.640 involved because

00:18:29.980 it just

00:18:30.260 requires one

00:18:31.000 bad actor to

00:18:31.740 have access

00:18:32.180 to it.

00:18:33.460 That's it.

00:18:34.040 Have I

00:18:36.560 ever told

00:18:36.960 you that

00:18:37.280 the way

00:18:37.640 to destroy

00:18:38.440 an illusion

00:18:39.060 is to

00:18:39.660 embrace it?

00:18:41.200 How many

00:18:41.740 times have

00:18:42.180 I told

00:18:42.480 you that?

00:18:43.200 Every time

00:18:43.760 I show

00:18:44.100 you a new

00:18:44.540 example,

00:18:45.780 that point

00:18:46.520 will get a

00:18:47.000 little bit

00:18:47.280 stronger in

00:18:48.000 your mind

00:18:48.520 and will

00:18:48.920 be more

00:18:49.260 useful to

00:18:49.800 you.

00:18:50.500 If you

00:18:51.600 were to

00:18:51.900 say,

00:18:53.040 hey,

00:18:53.520 I think

00:18:54.320 that it's

00:18:55.260 impossible to

00:18:56.180 totally secure

00:18:57.180 voting machines,

00:18:58.600 so therefore

00:18:59.320 it might be

00:19:00.100 a problem.

00:19:01.900 And then

00:19:02.520 the Democrats

00:19:03.580 say,

00:19:04.320 you fool.

00:19:06.120 Thank you,

00:19:06.980 Patrick.

00:19:07.500 You are too

00:19:08.360 nice.

00:19:09.640 And then

00:19:10.180 the Democrats

00:19:10.640 say,

00:19:11.040 you fool.

00:19:12.160 The courts

00:19:12.820 have shown

00:19:13.520 no evidence

00:19:15.060 of widespread

00:19:15.760 fraud.

00:19:17.060 There's no

00:19:18.160 proof of

00:19:19.100 anything,

00:19:19.740 therefore you're

00:19:20.980 all foolish

00:19:21.680 and you're

00:19:22.360 conspiracy

00:19:23.020 believers,

00:19:24.060 et cetera.

00:19:24.920 But instead

00:19:25.900 of that,

00:19:27.200 what the

00:19:27.740 Arizona audit

00:19:28.600 did accidentally

00:19:29.940 was take

00:19:35.840 control of

00:19:36.480 the voting

00:19:36.840 machines and

00:19:38.580 make the

00:19:38.980 Democrats

00:19:39.580 complain that

00:19:41.480 the voting

00:19:41.900 machines are

00:19:43.280 too insecure.

00:19:46.040 They actually

00:19:47.240 embraced the

00:19:48.420 Democrats'

00:19:49.140 own belief

00:19:50.020 that,

00:19:52.240 hey,

00:19:52.660 who can

00:19:53.340 hack a

00:19:53.720 machine?

00:19:54.840 Does it

00:19:55.280 matter if

00:19:55.720 we have

00:19:56.080 these controls?

00:19:57.140 Why would

00:19:57.460 it?

00:19:57.640 Why would

00:19:59.540 it possibly

00:20:00.040 matter if

00:20:00.960 we have

00:20:01.380 full control

00:20:02.000 of these

00:20:02.360 machines in

00:20:03.020 a locked

00:20:03.480 room with

00:20:04.520 people doing

00:20:05.100 stuff that

00:20:05.580 you can't

00:20:05.980 see?

00:20:06.200 Why would

00:20:06.460 it matter?

00:20:08.340 Why would

00:20:08.720 it matter?

00:20:09.420 We embrace

00:20:10.200 your point.

00:20:11.600 Yes,

00:20:11.900 Democrats,

00:20:12.440 everything you've

00:20:12.980 said about

00:20:13.360 this is true.

00:20:14.720 So,

00:20:15.320 if you don't

00:20:16.200 mind,

00:20:17.100 we're just

00:20:17.600 going to spend

00:20:18.020 a few minutes

00:20:18.580 with these

00:20:18.960 voting machines

00:20:19.700 behind closed

00:20:20.840 doors doing

00:20:22.020 things that

00:20:22.660 couldn't possibly

00:20:23.420 make a difference.

00:20:25.280 Right?

00:20:25.480 things that

00:20:28.280 couldn't make

00:20:28.640 any difference.

00:20:29.920 We've all

00:20:31.260 agreed on

00:20:31.800 that.

00:20:32.820 And do you

00:20:33.140 know why

00:20:33.680 those machines

00:20:34.960 are completely

00:20:36.160 safe to be

00:20:37.200 behind closed

00:20:38.020 doors with

00:20:38.720 just Republicans?

00:20:40.940 Because the

00:20:42.000 courts have

00:20:43.300 found no

00:20:44.640 evidence of

00:20:46.560 widespread fraud

00:20:47.740 of any

00:20:49.240 voting machines

00:20:50.120 controlled by

00:20:50.860 Republicans

00:20:51.360 behind closed

00:20:52.220 doors.

00:20:52.560 100%

00:20:55.040 no

00:20:57.520 finding of

00:20:58.960 a problem.

00:21:01.260 Do you

00:21:01.940 think I'm

00:21:02.360 demonetized

00:21:03.760 yet?

00:21:05.300 Do you

00:21:05.900 think this

00:21:06.360 live stream

00:21:07.000 is going to

00:21:08.700 be monetized

00:21:09.500 by the time

00:21:10.480 I'm done?

00:21:11.620 Nope.

00:21:12.520 No way.

00:21:13.560 There's somebody

00:21:14.080 watching this

00:21:14.700 right now

00:21:15.280 who has an

00:21:16.360 official job

00:21:17.120 with YouTube

00:21:17.800 who is saying

00:21:19.120 to themselves,

00:21:20.340 holy shit,

00:21:21.240 I've got to

00:21:21.880 demonetize

00:21:22.540 this fucking

00:21:23.180 thing right

00:21:23.680 away.

00:21:26.500 Now, I'm

00:21:27.360 giving them

00:21:27.820 I'm intentionally

00:21:28.780 making it a

00:21:29.400 little hard

00:21:29.860 because nothing

00:21:31.100 I said is

00:21:32.140 anything but

00:21:32.680 completely

00:21:33.160 reasonable and

00:21:34.020 obvious and

00:21:35.360 a headline.

00:21:42.540 Well, thank

00:21:43.400 you, Matt,

00:21:43.860 for making

00:21:44.400 that observation.

00:21:46.460 So that

00:21:47.440 was the best

00:21:48.180 part of

00:21:48.700 today's news,

00:21:49.720 but we've got

00:21:50.180 some more.

00:21:51.220 How about

00:21:51.580 Chris Cuomo?

00:21:52.600 He's being

00:21:53.020 criticized for

00:21:54.100 giving advice

00:21:55.320 to his

00:21:55.780 brother, the

00:21:56.340 governor,

00:21:56.840 because Chris

00:21:57.880 Cuomo works

00:21:58.540 for CNN and

00:21:59.420 CNN reports

00:22:00.440 on the

00:22:00.740 governor.

00:22:01.820 And I

00:22:02.500 say,

00:22:03.400 leave him

00:22:04.880 alone.

00:22:06.320 Come on.

00:22:08.260 Leave him

00:22:08.920 alone.

00:22:10.760 You know,

00:22:11.500 I get the

00:22:12.880 point, right?

00:22:14.040 You know,

00:22:14.320 one works

00:22:15.060 for the news

00:22:15.540 organization and

00:22:16.600 they cover the

00:22:17.260 governor.

00:22:17.700 Everybody gets

00:22:18.240 the point.

00:22:18.680 But nobody

00:22:19.860 doesn't know

00:22:20.460 they're

00:22:20.680 brothers.

00:22:21.900 Like, we

00:22:22.340 can handle

00:22:23.080 this.

00:22:24.080 We can

00:22:24.620 adjust a little

00:22:25.360 bit in our

00:22:25.720 brains and

00:22:26.240 say, oh,

00:22:26.580 they're

00:22:26.800 brothers.

00:22:27.800 We can

00:22:28.360 handle this.

00:22:30.000 Do you

00:22:30.340 really want to

00:22:31.100 live in a

00:22:31.480 world where

00:22:31.940 you can't

00:22:32.380 talk to

00:22:32.720 your own

00:22:33.100 goddamn

00:22:33.640 brother and

00:22:34.940 give him

00:22:35.280 advice?

00:22:36.380 No.

00:22:37.300 No.

00:22:37.920 We've got

00:22:38.360 lots of

00:22:38.820 things to

00:22:39.300 criticize people

00:22:40.180 for, right?

00:22:41.440 Plenty of

00:22:42.120 things to

00:22:42.620 criticize either

00:22:44.160 Cuomo.

00:22:45.440 You know,

00:22:45.780 you've got

00:22:46.140 stuff.

00:22:47.380 Don't

00:22:47.820 criticize them

00:22:48.560 for talking

00:22:49.200 to each

00:22:49.600 other.

00:22:49.920 They're

00:22:50.120 freaking

00:22:50.480 brothers.

00:22:51.880 Giving

00:22:52.360 advice?

00:22:53.020 Of course.

00:22:54.620 Of course

00:22:55.720 he should

00:22:56.180 give advice.

00:22:57.600 Should he

00:22:57.980 do it on

00:22:58.440 air,

00:22:58.820 somebody says?

00:22:59.380 What's the

00:22:59.680 difference?

00:23:01.020 They're

00:23:01.320 brothers.

00:23:02.680 The last

00:23:03.260 thing you

00:23:03.660 want is to

00:23:04.480 criminalize

00:23:05.180 brothers talking

00:23:06.120 to each

00:23:06.500 other, or

00:23:06.920 at least

00:23:07.240 even discourage

00:23:08.300 it.

00:23:09.000 Of course

00:23:09.700 they can

00:23:10.140 talk to

00:23:10.560 each other.

00:23:11.120 My

00:23:11.340 goodness.

00:23:12.460 If we're

00:23:12.900 complaining about

00:23:13.580 that, we've

00:23:14.120 really gone

00:23:15.020 off the

00:23:15.380 rails.

00:23:17.600 Let's

00:23:18.200 talk about

00:23:18.620 Meghan

00:23:18.900 Markle.

00:23:20.860 So Prince

00:23:21.860 Harry and

00:23:22.960 Meghan Markle

00:23:23.700 are making

00:23:24.200 a spectacle

00:23:24.860 of their

00:23:25.500 mental health

00:23:26.480 problems.

00:23:27.740 And it

00:23:29.060 turns out

00:23:29.660 Meghan

00:23:31.640 Markle is

00:23:32.260 being accused

00:23:32.860 of being a

00:23:33.880 narcissist.

00:23:36.780 And so I

00:23:37.660 looked up

00:23:38.180 what the

00:23:38.720 accusations

00:23:39.360 about her

00:23:40.040 are to

00:23:41.240 see if she

00:23:41.960 fits into

00:23:42.520 any of

00:23:42.880 these categories

00:23:44.420 of really

00:23:45.240 specific

00:23:46.000 personality

00:23:46.760 traits.

00:23:47.820 And there

00:23:48.020 are about

00:23:48.300 30 of

00:23:48.920 them, so

00:23:49.240 I haven't

00:23:49.480 mentioned

00:23:49.780 them all.

00:23:50.820 But one

00:23:51.160 of them

00:23:51.480 is habitual

00:23:53.660 liar.

00:23:55.540 People say

00:23:56.340 she is.

00:23:57.340 I don't

00:23:57.920 have any

00:23:58.240 evidence of

00:23:58.680 that.

00:23:59.780 She would

00:24:00.480 marry for

00:24:00.980 fame.

00:24:01.620 Okay.

00:24:02.320 Center of

00:24:02.700 attention.

00:24:03.260 Yeah.

00:24:04.240 Always

00:24:04.780 plays the

00:24:05.320 victim.

00:24:06.160 Yeah.

00:24:08.620 Is

00:24:09.180 vindictive.

00:24:10.900 Apparently.

00:24:11.460 and the

00:24:15.280 other one

00:24:15.640 that is

00:24:15.900 really

00:24:16.180 specific

00:24:16.740 for a

00:24:18.420 narcissist,

00:24:19.480 a dangerous

00:24:20.420 narcissist

00:24:20.900 now, is

00:24:22.020 they try to

00:24:22.560 separate you

00:24:23.280 from all

00:24:23.680 your friends

00:24:24.300 because your

00:24:25.080 friends will

00:24:25.560 talk you out

00:24:26.200 of listening

00:24:26.600 to the

00:24:26.960 narcissist.

00:24:28.500 And

00:24:28.780 indeed,

00:24:29.900 Meghan

00:24:30.160 Markle

00:24:30.540 apparently

00:24:30.900 got Harry

00:24:31.380 to move

00:24:31.700 out of his

00:24:32.260 entire

00:24:32.700 country and

00:24:33.840 leave the

00:24:34.280 royal family.

00:24:36.240 Nobody but

00:24:37.060 narcissists does

00:24:37.940 that.

00:24:38.240 That's

00:24:39.420 like the

00:24:40.620 narcissist

00:24:41.360 playbook,

00:24:42.320 you know,

00:24:43.920 step one.

00:24:45.300 Get them

00:24:45.640 away from

00:24:46.140 all of their

00:24:46.680 other friends

00:24:47.280 who can tell

00:24:47.820 them what's

00:24:48.960 happening.

00:24:50.640 So I guess

00:24:51.220 Meghan Markle,

00:24:52.060 a lot of her

00:24:52.500 staff quit.

00:24:54.140 She's caused

00:24:54.860 every problem.

00:24:56.080 She controls

00:24:57.200 Harry by telling

00:24:58.220 him that she's

00:24:58.920 suicidal, so

00:24:59.820 he's going to

00:25:00.280 have to...

00:25:01.600 And because

00:25:02.160 Harry lost

00:25:02.960 his mother,

00:25:04.020 famously,

00:25:05.680 when his

00:25:06.240 wife says

00:25:07.040 I'm going

00:25:08.540 to kill

00:25:08.820 myself unless

00:25:09.800 you do

00:25:10.580 everything I

00:25:11.240 want, what's

00:25:12.520 Harry going

00:25:12.900 to do?

00:25:13.840 Is Harry going

00:25:14.640 to lose the

00:25:15.380 second most

00:25:16.060 important woman

00:25:16.760 in his life

00:25:17.480 because he

00:25:19.200 could have

00:25:19.480 done something?

00:25:20.900 No.

00:25:21.800 No, he's

00:25:22.320 going to do

00:25:22.700 absolutely

00:25:23.400 anything that

00:25:24.280 Meghan Markle

00:25:25.020 asks him to

00:25:25.760 do because

00:25:27.200 she said

00:25:27.800 she'll kill

00:25:28.460 herself otherwise.

00:25:31.960 Now, there

00:25:33.560 are a lot of

00:25:33.880 people in

00:25:34.300 Great Britain

00:25:34.840 who are not

00:25:35.720 so happy about

00:25:36.560 Meghan Markle

00:25:37.560 and have

00:25:37.960 some bad

00:25:38.320 things to

00:25:38.740 say about

00:25:39.120 her, and

00:25:40.720 I didn't

00:25:40.980 really understand

00:25:41.620 that until

00:25:43.580 I looked

00:25:43.920 into it.

00:25:46.620 Oh, my

00:25:47.440 God.

00:25:48.420 Somebody needs

00:25:49.220 to save

00:25:50.240 poor Harry

00:25:50.940 because he

00:25:51.640 doesn't know

00:25:52.160 what's going

00:25:52.680 on, but I

00:25:54.300 think everybody

00:25:54.880 else does.

00:25:56.560 He is

00:25:57.380 basically just

00:25:58.340 a victim.

00:25:59.900 So there's

00:26:00.280 this thing

00:26:00.660 called, what's

00:26:02.740 it called,

00:26:03.360 narcissistic

00:26:04.220 abuse.

00:26:04.680 narcissistic

00:26:06.620 abuse, just

00:26:08.460 read the

00:26:08.960 Harry and

00:26:09.520 Meghan story,

00:26:11.900 that's it.

00:26:13.360 It's all

00:26:13.760 there, every

00:26:14.540 part of it.

00:26:15.640 So it's the

00:26:16.420 clearest case

00:26:17.080 you'll ever

00:26:17.400 see.

00:26:18.160 But I'm

00:26:19.080 no professional,

00:26:20.420 so I

00:26:21.060 certainly am

00:26:21.560 not diagnosing

00:26:24.340 anybody with

00:26:25.460 either a

00:26:26.680 personality

00:26:27.080 disorder or a

00:26:28.160 mental health

00:26:28.560 problem.

00:26:29.460 I'm just

00:26:30.080 saying that

00:26:30.620 some people

00:26:31.220 fit into a

00:26:32.640 pattern that

00:26:33.580 makes them

00:26:34.100 predictable.

00:26:35.240 So here's the

00:26:35.900 only takeaway.

00:26:38.500 If there's

00:26:39.360 somebody in

00:26:39.880 your life who

00:26:41.380 looks like

00:26:41.840 Meghan Markle

00:26:42.540 or looks like

00:26:44.500 maybe Joe

00:26:45.180 Scarborough,

00:26:46.160 and you're

00:26:46.780 saying to

00:26:47.140 yourself, I

00:26:47.960 don't understand

00:26:48.920 why they do

00:26:50.440 what they do,

00:26:51.960 do some

00:26:52.820 research on

00:26:54.600 all of the

00:26:55.160 personality traits

00:26:56.200 that go with

00:26:57.180 the certain

00:26:58.380 characteristics or

00:27:01.120 a certain

00:27:01.380 personality, I

00:27:02.160 guess, and

00:27:03.160 then you can

00:27:03.900 actually predict

00:27:04.760 next steps.

00:27:06.920 You can actually

00:27:07.660 write it on a

00:27:08.400 card and say,

00:27:09.980 oh, checklist,

00:27:11.260 oh, checklist,

00:27:12.300 oh, checklist,

00:27:13.660 and you just

00:27:14.380 look for it.

00:27:15.000 And you will be

00:27:15.800 blown away that

00:27:18.480 these personality

00:27:20.020 traits, they move

00:27:22.200 together, meaning

00:27:23.560 that if you've

00:27:25.000 got three of

00:27:25.740 them, you've got

00:27:26.300 six of them, is

00:27:27.120 what I'm saying.

00:27:27.700 that, you

00:27:29.200 know, there's

00:27:29.780 something magical

00:27:30.680 about how they

00:27:31.400 operate together,

00:27:32.520 but it makes

00:27:33.220 them very

00:27:33.500 predictable.

00:27:36.000 How about

00:27:36.640 fake news

00:27:37.420 through history?

00:27:38.480 We're hearing

00:27:38.820 that the BBC

00:27:39.640 had this guy,

00:27:42.340 Martin Bashir,

00:27:43.560 who forged

00:27:44.320 some documents

00:27:45.300 to get an

00:27:45.900 interview with

00:27:46.580 Princess Diana

00:27:47.740 back in the

00:27:48.580 90s.

00:27:49.340 He actually

00:27:50.040 forged bank

00:27:51.400 documents to

00:27:53.080 get her

00:27:53.420 attention.

00:27:54.640 He had some

00:27:55.260 story that she

00:27:56.080 would be

00:27:56.360 interested in,

00:27:57.020 so he could

00:27:57.920 get an

00:27:58.440 interview.

00:28:01.160 This isn't

00:28:01.980 quite fake

00:28:02.580 news, but

00:28:04.160 this was the

00:28:05.960 BBC.

00:28:08.440 This is the

00:28:09.280 BBC.

00:28:11.020 I mean,

00:28:11.480 really, and

00:28:12.780 they've got a

00:28:13.260 guy who's just

00:28:13.960 faking documents

00:28:15.700 to get an

00:28:16.320 interview?

00:28:17.300 That's pretty

00:28:18.140 unethical.

00:28:18.860 You have to

00:28:19.220 wonder what

00:28:19.620 else they're

00:28:20.560 doing that's

00:28:21.140 unethical.

00:28:21.760 Ted Cruz

00:28:24.120 is getting

00:28:24.520 into a

00:28:24.900 little hot

00:28:26.420 water, I

00:28:26.900 think, by

00:28:28.040 mocking the

00:28:28.920 US military's

00:28:30.360 ads for

00:28:31.400 recruitment.

00:28:32.860 And there's

00:28:33.300 a meme

00:28:33.840 going around

00:28:34.420 showing the

00:28:35.000 Russian

00:28:35.440 recruitment

00:28:36.020 ads, which

00:28:37.140 are all

00:28:37.460 manly and

00:28:38.100 like,

00:28:38.340 it's like

00:28:39.480 dark colors

00:28:40.220 and gray,

00:28:41.540 manly men

00:28:42.460 with muscles

00:28:42.980 doing stuff,

00:28:44.060 things like

00:28:44.520 that.

00:28:44.800 But,

00:28:46.000 and then

00:28:47.740 next to it

00:28:48.320 is the

00:28:49.240 American version,

00:28:50.240 which is

00:28:50.680 very woke.

00:28:51.760 very woke.

00:28:54.560 And Ted

00:28:55.620 Cruz actually

00:28:56.360 used the

00:28:57.220 word pansies.

00:28:59.420 I don't

00:29:00.380 know if

00:29:00.800 he's still

00:29:01.180 going to

00:29:01.360 be a

00:29:01.680 senator by

00:29:02.340 the end

00:29:02.780 of the

00:29:03.120 day,

00:29:03.680 because I

00:29:05.560 feel as

00:29:06.260 if the

00:29:06.940 LGBTQ

00:29:07.660 community

00:29:08.720 or anybody

00:29:10.120 who's mad

00:29:11.020 at bad

00:29:11.440 language is

00:29:12.580 going to

00:29:12.840 get on

00:29:13.180 him for

00:29:13.460 using that

00:29:14.040 word.

00:29:14.800 But,

00:29:15.320 we'll see

00:29:15.820 if he

00:29:16.060 survives

00:29:16.460 that in

00:29:18.320 our extra

00:29:18.880 woke world.

00:29:20.740 But I

00:29:21.120 have a

00:29:21.480 contrarian

00:29:22.080 view,

00:29:23.620 that

00:29:24.100 given that

00:29:26.180 the

00:29:26.540 woke

00:29:27.400 army has

00:29:28.720 conquered

00:29:29.280 hetero males

00:29:30.380 in America,

00:29:31.720 what do you

00:29:32.600 think the

00:29:32.960 Russians are

00:29:33.480 afraid of?

00:29:34.580 If you

00:29:35.360 were a

00:29:35.720 Russian

00:29:36.000 hetero male

00:29:36.860 and you

00:29:37.220 just saw

00:29:37.640 that the

00:29:38.600 hetero males

00:29:39.280 in America

00:29:39.840 had been

00:29:40.280 squashed,

00:29:42.020 wouldn't you

00:29:42.500 be a little

00:29:42.900 bit afraid of

00:29:43.440 them with

00:29:43.760 weapons?

00:29:44.500 Whoever did

00:29:45.300 the squashing?

00:29:45.900 because whoever

00:29:47.160 beat all

00:29:47.840 the hetero

00:29:49.260 males in

00:29:50.140 this country

00:29:50.640 into submission,

00:29:52.380 which is

00:29:52.940 largely our

00:29:53.540 current situation,

00:29:55.000 that's a

00:29:56.100 pretty powerful

00:29:56.760 force.

00:29:58.280 I'd be

00:29:58.680 afraid to

00:29:59.160 be on the

00:29:59.520 other side

00:29:59.960 of that

00:30:00.240 group.

00:30:01.140 They seem

00:30:01.580 pretty deadly.

00:30:04.080 Yeah,

00:30:04.840 if we

00:30:05.380 sent an

00:30:05.840 army of

00:30:06.400 women,

00:30:08.300 would,

00:30:11.140 do you

00:30:12.440 think we'd

00:30:12.860 do worse?

00:30:14.120 I don't

00:30:14.540 think so.

00:30:15.800 You know,

00:30:16.020 because,

00:30:17.260 you know,

00:30:17.580 certainly there's

00:30:18.180 a difference

00:30:18.520 about how

00:30:19.140 much weight

00:30:19.760 you can

00:30:20.200 carry if

00:30:20.680 you're on

00:30:20.920 the ground,

00:30:21.700 but if

00:30:22.180 you're flying

00:30:22.800 a jet or

00:30:23.780 controlling a

00:30:24.880 drone or

00:30:25.720 launching a

00:30:26.420 missile,

00:30:27.240 it doesn't

00:30:28.020 seem like

00:30:28.500 you need

00:30:28.780 too many

00:30:29.100 muscles.

00:30:33.980 Wow,

00:30:34.540 BBC

00:30:34.800 arranged for

00:30:35.360 the former

00:30:35.780 most senior

00:30:36.300 judge in

00:30:36.720 England to

00:30:37.180 look into

00:30:37.640 it, the

00:30:38.240 Bashir

00:30:38.620 thing.

00:30:39.000 That's the

00:30:39.280 only reason

00:30:39.600 we know.

00:30:40.460 Yeah,

00:30:40.640 there's so

00:30:40.940 many things

00:30:41.340 that probably

00:30:41.800 people have

00:30:42.240 gotten away

00:30:42.780 with.

00:30:43.340 That we'll

00:30:44.040 never know.

00:30:45.420 Do you

00:30:45.580 remember when

00:30:46.080 I made the

00:30:46.560 prediction that

00:30:47.240 I got

00:30:47.520 mocked for?

00:30:48.860 I said that

00:30:49.400 if Trump

00:30:51.800 lost, that

00:30:53.340 Republicans would

00:30:54.380 be hunted.

00:30:56.200 Well, now

00:30:56.740 apparently 400

00:30:57.900 Republicans have

00:30:58.960 been rounded up

00:30:59.720 as part of

00:31:00.220 this capital

00:31:01.040 protest, which

00:31:02.380 CNN calls an

00:31:03.360 insurrection,

00:31:04.620 because they're

00:31:05.540 not really news.

00:31:07.400 And it

00:31:08.480 seems to me

00:31:09.020 that I've been

00:31:09.680 waiting to find

00:31:10.400 out what will

00:31:10.980 be the new

00:31:11.520 Russia collusion.

00:31:12.460 hoax, because

00:31:14.200 you know that

00:31:14.800 the left and

00:31:15.620 CNN and

00:31:16.180 MSNBC and

00:31:17.280 ABC and

00:31:17.940 NBC, you

00:31:18.900 know that

00:31:19.240 all those

00:31:19.760 entities will

00:31:21.340 eventually land

00:31:22.460 on a new

00:31:23.160 hoax to

00:31:24.300 keep Republicans

00:31:25.300 out of office.

00:31:26.800 It's obvious

00:31:27.480 that we're now

00:31:28.540 in that cycle

00:31:29.240 where we go

00:31:29.920 from hoax to

00:31:30.660 hoax.

00:31:31.420 And I

00:31:31.900 wondered what

00:31:32.300 the new

00:31:32.580 one would

00:31:32.920 be.

00:31:33.740 And apparently

00:31:34.420 the new

00:31:34.800 one is going

00:31:35.320 to be this

00:31:35.720 bipartisan

00:31:36.280 commission to

00:31:37.820 look into

00:31:38.380 exactly what

00:31:40.000 happened on

00:31:41.040 January 6th.

00:31:42.500 Now you

00:31:43.000 notice that

00:31:43.600 January 6th

00:31:44.940 gets a date

00:31:45.880 name, like

00:31:47.520 9-11.

00:31:49.140 As soon as

00:31:49.960 you put a

00:31:50.400 date on it,

00:31:51.920 it's the

00:31:52.300 date that

00:31:52.660 lives in

00:31:53.040 infamy, right?

00:31:54.140 It's like

00:31:54.600 Pearl Harbor

00:31:55.260 Day, 9-11,

00:31:58.400 January 6th.

00:32:00.100 You see the

00:32:00.860 branding

00:32:01.320 cleverness?

00:32:02.400 If you can

00:32:03.040 get the public

00:32:03.780 to talk about

00:32:04.520 it by its

00:32:05.080 date, instead

00:32:06.740 of just saying

00:32:07.320 that thing

00:32:07.740 that happened

00:32:08.180 in 2020,

00:32:10.080 as soon as

00:32:10.480 it's got a

00:32:10.920 date name,

00:32:11.660 it rises in

00:32:12.640 importance in

00:32:13.280 our mind.

00:32:14.180 As soon as

00:32:14.940 you've got a

00:32:15.360 new story about

00:32:16.120 it, it rises

00:32:16.720 in importance

00:32:17.360 in your mind.

00:32:18.420 And the more

00:32:18.900 new stories you

00:32:19.720 have about it,

00:32:20.520 the more angles,

00:32:21.560 thank you,

00:32:22.060 Linda, the more

00:32:23.020 angles you have

00:32:23.940 on it, the

00:32:26.480 more we'll be

00:32:27.100 thinking about it,

00:32:27.780 the more important

00:32:28.340 it will seem

00:32:28.740 in our minds.

00:32:29.760 So it seems

00:32:30.460 that the

00:32:31.100 January 6th

00:32:32.020 thing will be

00:32:32.500 the new Russia

00:32:34.300 collusion hoax.

00:32:35.400 They'll turn it

00:32:36.120 into an

00:32:36.840 insurrection and

00:32:38.160 way more than

00:32:39.300 it was.

00:32:40.600 Part of why,

00:32:42.120 I assume,

00:32:43.180 part of why

00:32:43.760 they're asking

00:32:44.220 for such a

00:32:44.840 gigantic budget

00:32:45.680 to protect

00:32:46.440 the capital

00:32:47.040 has a little

00:32:48.400 bit to do

00:32:48.880 with the fact

00:32:49.340 that they

00:32:49.660 might actually

00:32:50.220 be afraid,

00:32:51.260 and probably

00:32:52.100 a lot to do

00:32:52.740 with the fact

00:32:53.240 that it puts

00:32:53.900 it in the

00:32:54.340 news.

00:32:55.500 How do we

00:32:56.160 put it in

00:32:56.600 the news

00:32:56.940 again?

00:32:57.740 Well, let's

00:32:58.260 have a

00:32:59.420 bipartisan

00:32:59.840 commission,

00:33:00.920 and then the

00:33:01.360 news will have

00:33:01.840 to talk about

00:33:02.360 January 6th.

00:33:04.240 How about

00:33:04.680 basically every

00:33:07.860 angle that they

00:33:08.520 can find to

00:33:09.400 talk about

00:33:09.900 January 6th,

00:33:10.660 they're going

00:33:10.860 to do it.

00:33:11.540 So that's

00:33:11.820 your new

00:33:12.160 hoax for

00:33:13.600 the coming,

00:33:14.660 at least

00:33:15.000 through the

00:33:15.520 midterms.

00:33:16.180 They might

00:33:16.460 have another

00:33:16.860 one after

00:33:17.200 that.

00:33:18.480 Here's another

00:33:19.180 hilarious story.

00:33:21.080 You know,

00:33:21.780 there's an

00:33:22.100 Israel ceasefire,

00:33:23.640 so apparently

00:33:24.320 that's gone

00:33:24.720 into effect,

00:33:25.780 and ABC

00:33:26.360 has accredited

00:33:28.160 Joe Biden's,

00:33:29.620 quote,

00:33:29.820 quiet diplomacy.

00:33:32.600 The quiet

00:33:33.080 diplomacy.

00:33:34.140 That's right.

00:33:35.240 Joe Biden is

00:33:36.000 being credited

00:33:36.640 for the ceasefire

00:33:37.680 with his

00:33:38.680 quiet diplomacy.

00:33:41.220 Do you know

00:33:41.980 what else

00:33:42.440 could be part

00:33:43.360 of Joe Biden's

00:33:44.420 quiet diplomacy?

00:33:47.100 Anything that

00:33:48.080 happens that's

00:33:48.800 good.

00:33:51.920 Lindy, you're

00:33:52.780 way too

00:33:53.120 nice.

00:33:54.580 Yes, so

00:33:56.400 should, let's

00:33:57.300 say, any

00:33:59.000 good thing

00:33:59.500 happened in

00:34:00.000 the world,

00:34:00.600 what do you

00:34:01.120 think the

00:34:01.440 news story

00:34:02.020 will be?

00:34:02.680 Well, there's

00:34:03.280 Joe Biden

00:34:03.820 with that

00:34:04.180 quiet diplomacy

00:34:05.340 again.

00:34:06.520 He's rocking

00:34:07.280 the quiet

00:34:07.860 diplomacy.

00:34:08.780 In fact,

00:34:09.860 he's doing

00:34:10.520 so many

00:34:11.200 things secretively

00:34:12.700 and behind

00:34:13.260 the scenes

00:34:13.940 that you'd

00:34:15.000 be amazed

00:34:15.540 at all

00:34:16.900 the quiet

00:34:18.260 diplomacy.

00:34:19.720 I mean,

00:34:20.100 he's just

00:34:20.580 quietly doing

00:34:21.560 stuff.

00:34:22.700 I know,

00:34:23.300 I know,

00:34:23.600 you'd like

00:34:23.960 to see it.

00:34:25.020 We all

00:34:25.420 would,

00:34:26.120 but give

00:34:26.520 him some

00:34:27.240 space.

00:34:27.740 his quiet

00:34:29.060 diplomacy is

00:34:30.400 fixing lots

00:34:31.100 of things

00:34:31.500 behind the

00:34:32.060 scenes.

00:34:32.540 You just

00:34:32.820 don't see

00:34:33.300 it.

00:34:33.960 But it's

00:34:34.280 quiet,

00:34:35.140 very effective

00:34:35.920 behind the

00:34:36.940 scenes.

00:34:37.840 The other

00:34:38.560 possibility is

00:34:39.500 that Israel

00:34:40.040 just decided

00:34:40.740 to stop

00:34:41.600 firing at

00:34:43.140 Gaza because

00:34:44.300 they had

00:34:44.780 already degraded

00:34:45.700 their tunnels,

00:34:47.200 degraded their

00:34:47.860 missiles,

00:34:48.940 degraded their

00:34:49.620 leadership.

00:34:50.740 Got as much

00:34:51.520 as they could

00:34:52.000 get without a

00:34:52.720 land invasion,

00:34:53.620 which wasn't

00:34:54.100 going to work

00:34:54.480 for them

00:34:54.800 anyway.

00:34:56.220 So was

00:34:56.820 it the

00:34:57.220 quiet

00:34:58.220 diplomacy?

00:34:59.600 Got that

00:34:59.980 quiet

00:35:00.400 diplomacy.

00:35:01.920 Was it

00:35:02.320 that?

00:35:03.220 Or was

00:35:03.880 it the

00:35:04.120 fact that

00:35:04.500 Israel was

00:35:05.060 done?

00:35:06.680 I feel

00:35:07.560 like it

00:35:07.920 had more

00:35:08.340 to do

00:35:08.720 with the

00:35:09.040 fact that

00:35:10.060 they were

00:35:10.300 done.

00:35:13.740 Yeah,

00:35:14.340 soup and

00:35:14.800 fluffy pillows,

00:35:15.840 exactly.

00:35:16.680 That was a

00:35:17.320 comment I'm

00:35:17.820 reading.

00:35:18.160 I'm not

00:35:18.420 just babbling.

00:35:18.960 So I

00:35:22.480 would say

00:35:22.800 that the

00:35:23.320 entire

00:35:24.220 event has

00:35:25.560 been a

00:35:26.020 gigantic

00:35:26.700 public

00:35:27.960 relations

00:35:28.640 victory for

00:35:29.480 Israel.

00:35:30.640 Now,

00:35:31.160 you might

00:35:31.940 disagree,

00:35:32.940 and you

00:35:33.140 might say

00:35:33.480 to yourself,

00:35:33.940 but wait,

00:35:34.340 they got

00:35:34.600 tons of

00:35:35.040 criticism,

00:35:36.440 killing

00:35:36.700 babies,

00:35:37.740 blah,

00:35:37.960 blah,

00:35:38.060 blah.

00:35:38.680 And as

00:35:39.360 I've said

00:35:39.680 before,

00:35:41.080 look for

00:35:41.800 the persuasion.

00:35:43.480 The persuasion

00:35:44.180 will tell you

00:35:44.640 what's really

00:35:45.120 happening.

00:35:46.200 And the

00:35:47.480 photos of

00:35:48.340 the missiles

00:35:48.840 coming into

00:35:49.380 Israel are

00:35:50.280 far more

00:35:50.860 dominant in

00:35:51.600 your mind

00:35:52.220 than the

00:35:53.260 fact that

00:35:53.720 there are

00:35:54.160 innocent people

00:35:55.220 and children

00:35:55.680 being killed

00:35:56.280 in Gaza,

00:35:57.120 because you

00:35:57.600 probably didn't

00:35:58.300 see those

00:35:58.800 pictures.

00:36:00.460 I asked

00:36:01.300 this in a

00:36:02.040 prior live

00:36:03.480 stream,

00:36:04.140 and something

00:36:04.660 like half of

00:36:05.340 you had

00:36:05.600 never even

00:36:06.020 seen a

00:36:06.360 picture of

00:36:06.760 a victim.

00:36:07.800 But every

00:36:08.640 one of you

00:36:09.140 had seen

00:36:09.500 the missiles,

00:36:10.540 lots of

00:36:11.120 them,

00:36:11.880 going into

00:36:12.320 Israel.

00:36:13.260 So Israel

00:36:13.960 not only

00:36:14.700 wins the

00:36:15.800 battle,

00:36:16.900 that's good,

00:36:18.000 shows how

00:36:18.600 much military

00:36:19.560 strength they

00:36:20.200 have,

00:36:20.520 that's good,

00:36:21.380 embarrasses the

00:36:22.720 military leadership

00:36:23.780 of Hamas by

00:36:25.080 tricking them

00:36:25.740 into the

00:36:26.120 tunnels and

00:36:26.620 then bombing

00:36:27.080 them,

00:36:27.820 that's good

00:36:28.420 for Israel.

00:36:29.420 So Israel

00:36:29.980 looks strong,

00:36:31.860 capable,

00:36:32.600 and resolute.

00:36:34.960 I would

00:36:35.540 think even

00:36:36.060 their enemies

00:36:36.540 would say

00:36:36.940 that now,

00:36:37.480 right?

00:36:38.980 Right?

00:36:39.900 It would

00:36:40.420 look like

00:36:40.880 Israel is

00:36:41.420 strong,

00:36:42.340 very capable,

00:36:43.340 and resolute,

00:36:44.760 probably exactly

00:36:46.140 what they

00:36:46.540 want everybody

00:36:47.120 to think.

00:36:48.900 The

00:36:49.380 Abraham

00:36:49.800 Accords

00:36:50.240 held.

00:36:51.860 How big

00:36:52.300 a deal

00:36:52.580 is that?

00:36:54.140 Gigantic.

00:36:55.520 Because didn't

00:36:56.220 you wonder

00:36:56.640 if the

00:36:57.200 Abraham Accords

00:36:58.480 were maybe

00:36:58.940 a little

00:36:59.240 brittle?

00:37:00.600 Did you

00:37:00.980 wonder,

00:37:01.400 I don't

00:37:01.800 know if

00:37:02.000 this will

00:37:02.300 last?

00:37:03.420 Well,

00:37:03.680 it lasted

00:37:04.160 through this

00:37:05.000 with not

00:37:06.060 even a

00:37:06.500 bump.

00:37:07.280 I would

00:37:07.880 say that's

00:37:08.320 gigantic.

00:37:10.160 Gigantic.

00:37:11.220 Thank you,

00:37:11.880 Pam.

00:37:12.000 So I

00:37:15.380 think Israel

00:37:15.960 just won

00:37:16.780 like crazy.

00:37:20.280 Now,

00:37:20.580 of course,

00:37:21.020 the critics

00:37:21.560 emerge,

00:37:23.240 and they're

00:37:23.500 calling Israel

00:37:24.600 an apartheid

00:37:25.580 state,

00:37:26.080 which they

00:37:26.800 absolutely

00:37:27.360 are not.

00:37:28.860 So let

00:37:30.060 me say

00:37:30.340 this as

00:37:30.740 clearly as

00:37:31.300 possible.

00:37:32.680 Israel is

00:37:33.220 not an

00:37:34.200 apartheid

00:37:34.780 state.

00:37:36.380 I'm saying

00:37:37.080 that so I

00:37:37.480 don't get

00:37:37.780 kicked off

00:37:38.220 the live

00:37:38.600 stream.

00:37:40.220 So let's

00:37:41.300 dig in

00:37:41.980 into it

00:37:42.240 a little

00:37:42.420 bit.

00:37:43.820 Now,

00:37:44.080 to be

00:37:44.280 an apartheid

00:37:44.880 state would

00:37:45.580 require that

00:37:47.340 people of

00:37:48.320 different

00:37:48.820 ethnicities

00:37:49.780 were treated

00:37:51.400 differently

00:37:51.940 under the

00:37:52.700 law.

00:37:54.880 Is that

00:37:55.620 a true

00:37:56.260 statement?

00:37:59.640 Oh,

00:38:00.200 thank you.

00:38:00.580 Oh,

00:38:00.820 I see some

00:38:01.440 people are

00:38:02.060 making

00:38:03.520 contributions

00:38:04.240 to counter

00:38:05.760 any demonetization

00:38:06.980 that's coming.

00:38:07.780 You don't

00:38:08.300 need to do

00:38:08.700 that,

00:38:09.260 but I do

00:38:09.700 appreciate it.

00:38:11.420 Just a

00:38:12.180 word on

00:38:12.860 incentive.

00:38:15.000 I don't

00:38:15.820 really need

00:38:16.360 more money,

00:38:17.600 but when

00:38:19.000 people are

00:38:19.820 incentivizing me

00:38:21.280 this way,

00:38:22.080 it totally

00:38:22.700 works.

00:38:24.180 Even if you

00:38:25.040 have money,

00:38:26.280 I don't know

00:38:26.920 why, we're

00:38:27.800 just wired

00:38:28.220 that way.

00:38:28.640 It's like a

00:38:29.200 dog who

00:38:29.660 isn't hungry

00:38:30.160 is still

00:38:30.520 going to

00:38:30.720 do a

00:38:30.980 trick for

00:38:31.360 a treat,

00:38:31.860 right?

00:38:32.480 So when

00:38:33.300 you offer

00:38:33.940 me treats,

00:38:34.960 I do

00:38:35.460 tricks.

00:38:36.760 I'm not

00:38:37.160 too proud.

00:38:37.640 it works.

00:38:39.380 Incentives

00:38:39.880 always work.

00:38:41.320 If there's

00:38:42.240 anything I've

00:38:42.860 ever taught

00:38:43.260 you,

00:38:44.080 incentives

00:38:44.820 always work.

00:38:46.840 They don't

00:38:47.620 always work

00:38:48.100 completely,

00:38:49.100 but they

00:38:49.600 always work

00:38:49.980 a little.

00:38:52.780 All right.

00:38:53.840 So I

00:38:55.100 told you

00:38:55.400 that the

00:38:56.140 best

00:38:56.400 persuaders

00:38:56.980 are the

00:38:57.340 ones who

00:38:57.660 use fear

00:38:58.520 and visuals,

00:39:00.540 right?

00:39:00.900 So there's

00:39:01.260 their pictures.

00:39:01.900 If I

00:39:03.460 were to

00:39:04.080 say,

00:39:06.420 show me

00:39:07.680 a picture

00:39:08.320 of any

00:39:09.960 rules or

00:39:11.000 laws that

00:39:11.540 are different

00:39:11.920 in Israel

00:39:12.460 that treat

00:39:13.180 any of

00:39:13.620 the ethnic

00:39:14.140 groups

00:39:14.480 differently,

00:39:15.320 can you

00:39:15.680 show me

00:39:15.980 a picture?

00:39:17.520 Show me

00:39:17.900 the photo.

00:39:19.000 Show me

00:39:19.340 the photo

00:39:19.980 of this

00:39:20.600 alleged

00:39:21.080 apartheid

00:39:22.380 going on.

00:39:24.200 You can't,

00:39:25.060 right?

00:39:26.640 Thank you,

00:39:27.400 Nikki,

00:39:27.980 and sense

00:39:28.820 of awareness

00:39:29.320 and all of

00:39:30.120 you.

00:39:30.560 But you

00:39:30.900 can't really

00:39:31.480 think of

00:39:31.840 a photo,

00:39:32.660 can you?

00:39:33.460 Think of

00:39:34.060 an image

00:39:34.620 in your

00:39:34.980 mind,

00:39:35.980 any kind

00:39:36.460 of a

00:39:36.740 famous

00:39:37.040 picture

00:39:37.580 or a

00:39:38.680 person

00:39:39.340 maybe.

00:39:40.080 Sometimes

00:39:40.420 if you

00:39:40.820 can associate

00:39:41.380 a living

00:39:42.440 human

00:39:42.860 with something,

00:39:44.140 that becomes

00:39:44.740 like a

00:39:45.100 brand for

00:39:45.700 the thing.

00:39:50.080 Some

00:39:50.680 quiet

00:39:51.120 diplomacy

00:39:51.660 from

00:39:52.220 Canada.

00:39:52.980 Thank you,

00:39:53.380 Victoria.

00:39:56.160 So here's

00:39:57.400 my point.

00:39:58.960 Israel has

00:40:00.140 the

00:40:01.300 persuasion

00:40:02.660 advantage

00:40:03.340 because the

00:40:04.480 complaints

00:40:04.940 against them

00:40:05.580 are not

00:40:05.960 visual

00:40:06.360 and they

00:40:07.300 don't

00:40:07.560 scare

00:40:07.960 you.

00:40:09.620 Are any

00:40:10.100 of you

00:40:10.400 afraid

00:40:10.880 of

00:40:11.880 apartheid

00:40:12.640 in the

00:40:13.560 Middle East?

00:40:14.500 Nope.

00:40:15.520 Nope.

00:40:16.360 Doesn't affect

00:40:17.060 you at all.

00:40:18.020 You're definitely

00:40:18.620 not afraid of

00:40:19.340 it.

00:40:20.160 Like you

00:40:20.560 might complain

00:40:21.240 about it

00:40:21.740 or say

00:40:22.140 things need

00:40:23.160 to change.

00:40:23.860 I get

00:40:24.100 that.

00:40:24.940 But you're

00:40:25.280 probably not

00:40:25.660 afraid.

00:40:27.680 Linda,

00:40:28.360 you are way

00:40:28.880 too nice.

00:40:29.700 Thank you.

00:40:32.800 So here's

00:40:33.700 my observation.

00:40:35.320 For some

00:40:36.040 reason the

00:40:36.580 Palestinians have

00:40:37.460 no persuasion

00:40:38.360 skills whatsoever.

00:40:40.160 Have you

00:40:40.660 noticed that?

00:40:41.860 It's not my

00:40:42.520 imagination,

00:40:43.260 is it?

00:40:44.140 That if you

00:40:44.820 were to say

00:40:45.260 what is good

00:40:46.260 persuasion

00:40:46.920 and like how

00:40:47.980 would you do

00:40:48.840 it and then

00:40:50.180 you look at

00:40:50.700 everything the

00:40:51.940 Palestinians do,

00:40:53.440 they don't even

00:40:54.400 overlap a little

00:40:55.320 bit, do they?

00:40:55.920 It feels like

00:40:57.720 they've never

00:40:58.380 even been

00:40:59.640 exposed to

00:41:00.560 the idea

00:41:01.200 that negotiating

00:41:04.140 and persuasion

00:41:05.080 are like

00:41:05.820 skills.

00:41:06.860 It just feels

00:41:07.640 like flailing

00:41:08.340 and anger

00:41:09.340 and whatever,

00:41:10.420 you know,

00:41:10.680 revenge and

00:41:11.860 religion and

00:41:13.640 all these

00:41:14.240 things.

00:41:14.680 But you don't

00:41:15.160 see anything

00:41:15.560 that looks

00:41:15.880 like technique.

00:41:17.020 But when you

00:41:17.580 look at the

00:41:18.140 Israeli way

00:41:19.700 that they

00:41:20.120 handle the

00:41:21.340 PR part of

00:41:22.320 it, lots

00:41:23.320 of technique.

00:41:24.800 Right?

00:41:25.580 Let me ask

00:41:26.320 you this.

00:41:27.680 Most of you

00:41:28.420 believe that

00:41:28.960 there are

00:41:29.460 differences in

00:41:30.280 the laws of

00:41:31.760 how people are

00:41:32.380 treated based

00:41:33.060 on whether

00:41:33.440 they're Jewish

00:41:34.100 or non-Jewish

00:41:35.780 in, let's

00:41:36.980 say, any

00:41:38.360 part of

00:41:38.760 Israel,

00:41:39.360 occupied,

00:41:40.000 unoccupied,

00:41:40.640 et cetera.

00:41:41.220 You believe

00:41:42.060 that there are

00:41:42.500 differences,

00:41:43.040 right?

00:41:44.860 Have you

00:41:45.420 seen the

00:41:45.720 list?

00:41:47.140 Have you

00:41:47.440 ever seen

00:41:47.800 the list of

00:41:49.240 here are all

00:41:49.740 the things

00:41:50.160 that you can

00:41:50.640 do if you

00:41:51.500 are Jewish

00:41:52.960 living in

00:41:53.680 Israel?

00:41:54.040 or any

00:41:55.140 part that

00:41:55.560 they can

00:41:55.840 control?

00:41:57.060 And here

00:41:57.340 are the

00:41:57.560 things you

00:41:57.920 can do

00:41:58.240 if you're

00:41:58.580 non-Jewish

00:41:59.280 but a

00:42:00.040 citizen and

00:42:00.660 you're living

00:42:01.020 in that

00:42:01.320 area.

00:42:02.020 Have you

00:42:02.180 ever seen

00:42:02.520 the list?

00:42:06.160 There are

00:42:06.700 lots of

00:42:07.040 articles,

00:42:07.960 but if you

00:42:08.600 read the

00:42:08.900 articles,

00:42:09.400 it's all

00:42:09.660 hand-waving.

00:42:11.120 Let me

00:42:11.580 read to you

00:42:12.220 an example

00:42:12.900 of an

00:42:13.300 article about

00:42:14.020 the unfair

00:42:14.680 treatment of

00:42:15.340 the Palestinians.

00:42:17.280 I'm reading

00:42:17.980 the article.

00:42:18.980 There is

00:42:19.340 unfair

00:42:19.780 treatment of

00:42:20.360 the Palestinians.

00:42:21.020 Okay,

00:42:23.380 well,

00:42:24.360 I guess

00:42:24.960 there will

00:42:25.080 be some

00:42:25.380 examples.

00:42:26.980 Well,

00:42:27.240 there's some

00:42:27.600 generic

00:42:28.240 statement about

00:42:30.080 something technical

00:42:31.500 about land

00:42:32.520 that's disputed.

00:42:33.660 I don't even

00:42:35.080 know.

00:42:37.100 That's it.

00:42:38.380 No picture,

00:42:39.420 no summary,

00:42:40.540 no list,

00:42:41.800 no article.

00:42:43.740 You really

00:42:44.660 can't find

00:42:45.700 what the

00:42:47.000 point is,

00:42:47.600 can you?

00:42:48.640 So,

00:42:49.320 here's your

00:42:49.740 assignment.

00:42:51.040 Find me a

00:42:51.740 list,

00:42:52.900 a clean,

00:42:53.840 simple list

00:42:54.500 that says

00:42:55.860 these are the

00:42:56.560 things you can

00:42:57.060 do if you're

00:42:57.880 Jewish living

00:42:58.680 in Israel.

00:42:59.680 These are the

00:43:00.380 things that you

00:43:00.900 can do if you're

00:43:01.460 non-Jewish in

00:43:02.180 Israel.

00:43:02.740 Just compare

00:43:03.220 them.

00:43:04.360 Somebody's

00:43:04.840 made the

00:43:05.180 list,

00:43:05.600 right?

00:43:06.700 What happens

00:43:07.440 if it doesn't

00:43:07.960 exist?

00:43:09.480 What would

00:43:10.120 you think

00:43:10.680 if you

00:43:11.740 can't find

00:43:12.240 it?

00:43:16.120 I would

00:43:16.860 say,

00:43:17.600 if you

00:43:18.000 can't find

00:43:18.520 that list,

00:43:19.200 the Palestinians,

00:43:20.800 maybe they're

00:43:21.620 not even

00:43:22.120 interested in

00:43:22.900 persuading.

00:43:24.240 Maybe they

00:43:24.920 don't even

00:43:25.320 care.

00:43:26.160 It's like

00:43:26.560 they wouldn't

00:43:26.900 even know

00:43:27.260 how to do

00:43:27.700 this.

00:43:28.680 You don't

00:43:29.100 think there's

00:43:29.560 anybody in

00:43:30.300 the squad

00:43:30.860 who could

00:43:32.020 produce a

00:43:32.600 list,

00:43:33.020 of what's

00:43:34.660 the problem,

00:43:35.400 like what's

00:43:35.980 the specific

00:43:36.620 complaint.

00:43:40.540 You have

00:43:41.360 to ask

00:43:41.760 why the

00:43:42.680 information is

00:43:44.600 not presented

00:43:46.120 to you in

00:43:46.620 any kind of

00:43:47.060 a clean

00:43:47.380 way.

00:43:47.640 so here's

00:43:54.360 a comment.

00:43:54.960 The only

00:43:55.360 difference is

00:43:55.940 that the

00:43:56.280 Arabs in

00:43:56.800 Israel are

00:43:57.820 not required

00:43:58.460 to do

00:43:58.880 national

00:43:59.340 services in

00:44:00.060 the army,

00:44:00.940 but many

00:44:02.020 Arabs have

00:44:02.500 voluntarily

00:44:02.880 joined.

00:44:03.700 I believe

00:44:04.480 that you are

00:44:06.000 a victim of

00:44:07.040 extreme

00:44:07.660 propaganda.

00:44:08.340 If you

00:44:10.300 think the

00:44:10.740 only difference

00:44:11.760 is whether

00:44:14.440 you're allowed

00:44:15.200 to serve,

00:44:16.120 I think

00:44:16.460 you have

00:44:16.700 to look

00:44:17.020 at the

00:44:17.660 larger

00:44:17.980 picture of

00:44:18.860 all the

00:44:19.260 territories

00:44:19.740 there.

00:44:20.600 So the

00:44:20.840 real question

00:44:21.380 is not

00:44:22.940 just living

00:44:24.560 within Israel

00:44:25.460 proper,

00:44:26.180 but any

00:44:26.620 Gaza or

00:44:27.540 any of the

00:44:27.940 areas that

00:44:28.440 are controlled

00:44:28.860 by Israel.

00:44:30.620 So,

00:44:32.540 that's that.

00:44:35.060 Rasmussen

00:44:35.560 says that

00:44:37.620 52% of

00:44:39.100 conservatives,

00:44:40.200 who are

00:44:40.480 likely U.S.

00:44:41.200 voters,

00:44:41.460 who watch

00:44:43.840 TV news,

00:44:44.600 watch Fox.

00:44:45.640 So about

00:44:46.040 half of

00:44:46.700 conservatives

00:44:47.360 who are

00:44:48.560 likely voters

00:44:49.180 watch Fox

00:44:49.800 news.

00:44:50.660 But there's

00:44:51.340 a growing

00:44:51.940 competition

00:44:52.560 with Newsmax

00:44:53.540 getting 17%

00:44:54.760 and 9%

00:44:56.760 going to

00:44:57.580 OAN.

00:45:00.200 And then

00:45:01.040 20%

00:45:01.740 conservatives

00:45:03.320 prefer some

00:45:04.260 other network.

00:45:05.320 And I guess

00:45:05.880 the only reason

00:45:06.380 I'm pointing

00:45:06.740 this out is

00:45:07.700 that especially

00:45:08.220 if Trump

00:45:09.040 does something,

00:45:09.660 if Trump

00:45:15.060 does something

00:45:15.720 that creates,

00:45:16.520 I don't know,

00:45:16.900 some kind of

00:45:17.320 other conservative

00:45:18.620 platform,

00:45:20.080 the Fox

00:45:20.560 News'

00:45:21.300 stranglehold

00:45:22.460 on conservative

00:45:23.600 thought might

00:45:24.780 be getting a

00:45:25.320 little distributed.

00:45:27.380 I don't know

00:45:27.720 if it'll make

00:45:28.160 any difference.

00:45:29.480 You know,

00:45:29.720 I don't know

00:45:30.220 if the world

00:45:30.680 will be exactly

00:45:31.480 the same

00:45:31.960 because of

00:45:32.380 that.

00:45:33.180 But I

00:45:33.960 always note

00:45:34.620 that if

00:45:35.500 CNN and

00:45:36.200 MSNBC

00:45:37.100 ever joined

00:45:39.080 together as

00:45:39.640 one network,

00:45:41.580 they would

00:45:42.080 be a lot

00:45:42.460 more dominant.

00:45:43.620 And,

00:45:43.860 you know,

00:45:44.120 Fox News

00:45:44.580 had kind

00:45:44.960 of a monopoly

00:45:45.580 there that's

00:45:46.280 fading away.

00:45:48.240 I think

00:45:48.760 they'll still

00:45:49.080 be the dominant

00:45:49.780 voice for a

00:45:50.360 long time,

00:45:50.860 but a little

00:45:51.320 bit is being

00:45:52.100 picked away.

00:45:54.220 Now,

00:45:54.660 here's something

00:45:55.200 I've said

00:45:55.680 before,

00:45:56.260 but man,

00:45:57.000 every day

00:45:57.580 I am reminded

00:45:58.460 that I should

00:45:59.140 tell you this

00:45:59.620 again.

00:46:00.160 If you're not

00:46:00.940 following Glenn

00:46:02.640 Greenwald

00:46:03.540 on Twitter,

00:46:05.020 you're missing

00:46:05.780 one of the

00:46:06.320 best shows,

00:46:08.160 just one of

00:46:09.180 the best shows.

00:46:10.220 You just have

00:46:11.000 to follow him

00:46:11.700 for the

00:46:12.520 entertainment

00:46:13.060 alone,

00:46:14.100 but you're

00:46:14.540 going to

00:46:14.680 learn some

00:46:15.120 things that

00:46:15.580 you're just

00:46:15.900 not seeing

00:46:16.640 in the

00:46:16.920 other press.

00:46:18.540 It's not

00:46:18.860 just that

00:46:20.500 he might

00:46:21.660 have some

00:46:22.080 information

00:46:22.520 that's not

00:46:23.020 available

00:46:23.400 elsewhere

00:46:23.940 in some

00:46:24.540 cases,

00:46:25.300 but he's

00:46:26.400 simply framing

00:46:27.160 things in a

00:46:27.820 way you

00:46:28.060 haven't heard

00:46:28.500 them,

00:46:29.080 and it's

00:46:29.680 shocking

00:46:30.080 when he

00:46:31.400 does it.

00:46:31.800 Here's an

00:46:32.080 example.

00:46:32.420 So,

00:46:33.900 you know

00:46:35.660 economist

00:46:36.540 Paul Krugman,

00:46:38.360 he came

00:46:40.740 out with an

00:46:41.240 article,

00:46:41.720 I guess,

00:46:42.460 recently,

00:46:43.640 basically

00:46:44.340 mocking

00:46:44.920 cryptocurrency.

00:46:46.620 So it's

00:46:47.100 Paul Krugman

00:46:47.880 saying

00:46:48.420 cryptocurrency

00:46:49.200 is sort

00:46:50.000 of an

00:46:50.380 empty

00:46:50.800 nothing

00:46:51.480 that will

00:46:52.020 not likely

00:46:53.200 amount to

00:46:53.820 much.

00:46:55.240 And that's

00:46:55.700 a current

00:46:56.080 opinion based

00:46:56.740 on the

00:46:57.120 current

00:46:57.440 situation.

00:46:59.820 And

00:46:59.900 Glenn

00:47:01.260 Greenwald

00:47:01.800 retweets

00:47:02.880 Krugman

00:47:03.740 and says,

00:47:05.620 Krugman,

00:47:06.260 1998,

00:47:07.500 quote,

00:47:07.980 so he's

00:47:08.360 quoting

00:47:08.640 Krugman

00:47:09.100 in 1998,

00:47:10.400 the growth

00:47:10.900 of the

00:47:11.180 internet

00:47:11.460 will slow

00:47:12.100 drastically

00:47:12.700 as the

00:47:13.580 flaw in

00:47:14.240 Metcalfe's

00:47:14.900 law becomes

00:47:15.600 apparent.

00:47:16.520 Most people

00:47:17.040 have nothing

00:47:17.540 to say to

00:47:18.080 each other.

00:47:20.380 By 2005,

00:47:22.140 he predicted

00:47:22.620 back in

00:47:23.060 1998,

00:47:23.680 it will

00:47:24.360 become clear

00:47:25.000 that the

00:47:25.440 internet's

00:47:25.980 impact on

00:47:26.600 the economy

00:47:27.180 has been

00:47:28.060 no greater

00:47:28.600 than the

00:47:29.020 fax machines.

00:47:29.760 So it's

00:47:34.500 one thing

00:47:34.940 to see

00:47:35.340 Paul Krugman

00:47:36.040 just say

00:47:36.500 cryptocurrency

00:47:37.220 is a

00:47:38.280 big nothing,

00:47:39.580 but it's

00:47:40.260 another thing

00:47:40.800 to see

00:47:41.160 what his

00:47:41.560 last big

00:47:42.940 prediction

00:47:44.280 was.

00:47:46.600 So you

00:47:47.960 really have

00:47:48.460 to watch

00:47:48.860 Greenwald.

00:47:49.500 He does

00:47:49.820 a tweet

00:47:50.620 like this,

00:47:52.000 meaning it's

00:47:52.620 just as

00:47:53.080 savage

00:47:53.540 almost every

00:47:55.020 day.

00:47:56.220 And you

00:47:56.600 think,

00:47:57.360 this is just

00:47:58.800 good stuff.

00:48:00.660 So anyway,

00:48:02.300 that is

00:48:05.940 what I

00:48:06.200 had to

00:48:06.560 say for

00:48:06.920 today.

00:48:07.860 And what

00:48:08.180 are your

00:48:08.400 bets?

00:48:08.880 Did I

00:48:09.160 get demonetized

00:48:10.080 today?

00:48:10.740 If I

00:48:11.280 don't get

00:48:11.640 demonetized

00:48:12.480 today,

00:48:14.500 I'd be

00:48:15.100 really surprised.

00:48:16.520 Really surprised.

00:48:17.780 So I hope

00:48:18.200 you appreciate,

00:48:21.640 and I know

00:48:22.040 the people

00:48:22.420 who are doing

00:48:23.900 the Super

00:48:24.420 Chats

00:48:24.820 payments there,

00:48:26.740 I know you

00:48:27.280 appreciate it.

00:48:27.920 I hope

00:48:28.520 you appreciate

00:48:29.180 how often

00:48:31.040 I will

00:48:31.660 demonetize

00:48:32.380 myself

00:48:32.900 intentionally,

00:48:34.280 because otherwise

00:48:35.460 there's just no

00:48:36.140 way to talk

00:48:36.620 about the

00:48:36.980 news.

00:48:37.660 You just

00:48:38.100 can't talk

00:48:38.560 about it

00:48:38.940 unless you

00:48:39.460 get demonetized.

00:48:41.640 Now,

00:48:42.140 I have not

00:48:42.540 yet received

00:48:43.120 a warning

00:48:43.740 from YouTube,

00:48:45.360 and my

00:48:45.720 understanding is

00:48:46.720 you don't

00:48:47.000 get banned

00:48:47.440 forever until

00:48:48.180 they've given

00:48:49.240 you some

00:48:49.620 warnings.

00:48:50.160 So I

00:48:50.400 haven't gotten

00:48:50.820 any warnings.

00:48:52.560 So demonetizing

00:48:53.580 is the

00:48:54.140 mildest thing

00:48:55.320 they do.

00:48:55.640 Now,

00:48:56.700 for context,

00:48:58.880 nearly,

00:49:00.240 I don't

00:49:00.680 know the

00:49:00.960 percentage,

00:49:01.620 it's maybe

00:49:02.260 95% or

00:49:04.120 so,

00:49:04.520 of the

00:49:04.860 things they

00:49:05.300 demonetize

00:49:06.160 later will

00:49:07.280 be

00:49:07.480 remonetized.

00:49:08.380 In other

00:49:08.960 words,

00:49:09.260 when we

00:49:09.540 ask for

00:49:10.000 a review,

00:49:11.200 the actual

00:49:12.000 official

00:49:12.480 reviewer

00:49:13.120 will say,

00:49:13.680 no,

00:49:13.840 there was

00:49:14.100 no reason

00:49:14.600 to demonetize

00:49:15.500 it.

00:49:16.820 Think

00:49:17.300 about that.

00:49:18.840 95%

00:49:19.800 of the

00:49:20.080 times I

00:49:20.520 get

00:49:20.720 demonetized,

00:49:21.700 which I

00:49:22.660 assume has

00:49:23.440 the effect

00:49:23.900 of making

00:49:24.340 it less

00:49:24.740 visible to

00:49:25.360 people.

00:49:26.100 Because why

00:49:26.580 would YouTube

00:49:27.560 make more

00:49:29.260 visible something

00:49:30.740 unmonetized?

00:49:31.840 It wouldn't

00:49:32.200 make sense to

00:49:32.780 their business

00:49:33.220 model.

00:49:33.980 So one

00:49:34.440 assumes that

00:49:35.800 demonetizing

00:49:36.540 me is a

00:49:37.180 way to

00:49:37.460 reduce my

00:49:38.040 voice.

00:49:39.180 I don't

00:49:39.720 know if

00:49:39.960 that's the

00:49:40.300 intention,

00:49:41.520 but it's

00:49:41.900 an assumption

00:49:42.380 I make.

00:49:45.780 The ethical

00:49:46.620 skeptic.

00:49:47.320 I think I've

00:49:47.880 read some

00:49:48.560 of his

00:49:48.820 work.

00:49:50.900 Thank you

00:49:51.560 for all

00:49:52.320 of this.

00:49:52.900 Sparky,

00:49:53.460 etc.

00:49:54.240 Dallas is

00:49:54.980 asking me

00:49:55.520 what do I

00:49:55.840 think about

00:49:56.400 Crowder?

00:49:57.360 I usually

00:49:58.120 don't make

00:49:58.720 comments about

00:50:00.540 other individuals

00:50:02.620 who are just

00:50:03.820 doing a job,

00:50:04.940 so to speak.

00:50:07.000 I will note

00:50:08.100 that he's

00:50:08.540 hugely popular,

00:50:09.640 and so he

00:50:10.020 must be

00:50:10.460 producing good

00:50:11.220 content.

00:50:11.920 I've enjoyed

00:50:12.380 a lot of it

00:50:12.900 that I've

00:50:13.220 seen.

00:50:13.980 I don't

00:50:14.220 watch it

00:50:14.560 every day,

00:50:15.500 but what

00:50:15.840 I've seen

00:50:16.200 has been

00:50:16.720 very entertaining.

00:50:19.920 So I

00:50:20.740 would say he's

00:50:21.360 certainly got

00:50:21.880 something that's

00:50:22.660 working out.

00:50:23.160 But of

00:50:23.980 course he

00:50:24.300 crosses the

00:50:25.000 line a

00:50:25.420 little bit

00:50:25.840 more than

00:50:26.580 most people.

00:50:27.240 That's part

00:50:27.540 of his

00:50:27.800 appeal.

00:50:29.000 Part of

00:50:29.540 the reason

00:50:29.900 that you

00:50:30.200 like

00:50:30.580 Crowder is

00:50:32.100 that you

00:50:32.400 think he's

00:50:32.960 going to do

00:50:33.540 something dangerous

00:50:34.320 for himself,

00:50:35.300 and that he

00:50:36.420 does.

00:50:37.040 He does a lot

00:50:37.860 of dangerous

00:50:38.280 stuff for

00:50:38.660 himself.

00:50:40.560 So that

00:50:41.160 makes him

00:50:41.660 popular.

00:50:42.820 The closer

00:50:43.200 you get to

00:50:43.860 danger,

00:50:44.440 the more

00:50:44.740 popular you

00:50:45.460 are.

00:50:45.760 That's just

00:50:46.080 the way it

00:50:46.420 works.

00:50:46.640 is Trump

00:50:48.080 a narcissist,

00:50:49.220 somebody

00:50:49.640 asks.

00:50:50.760 Well, I

00:50:51.220 would say

00:50:51.680 that the

00:50:53.600 finest way

00:50:56.200 to answer

00:50:56.700 that question

00:50:57.300 in terms of

00:50:59.560 surgical

00:51:00.240 precision is

00:51:03.020 that, like I

00:51:04.040 said before,

00:51:05.120 there's a

00:51:05.980 benign

00:51:07.420 narcissist,

00:51:08.620 and then

00:51:09.020 there's a

00:51:09.400 dangerous

00:51:09.740 kind.

00:51:10.140 if Trump's

00:51:12.960 narcissism,

00:51:14.180 let's take

00:51:14.560 the assumption

00:51:15.020 that he

00:51:15.400 has it.

00:51:15.780 I'm not

00:51:16.040 making that

00:51:16.520 claim because

00:51:17.300 I can't

00:51:17.680 diagnose people,

00:51:18.860 but let's

00:51:19.160 assume he

00:51:20.680 thinks that

00:51:21.340 he's better

00:51:22.240 than other

00:51:22.760 people.

00:51:24.220 He did

00:51:25.140 become

00:51:25.540 president of

00:51:26.180 the United

00:51:26.560 States and

00:51:28.040 accomplished,

00:51:28.840 in my opinion,

00:51:29.940 some pretty

00:51:30.620 amazing stuff,

00:51:32.720 in my opinion.

00:51:34.360 You know,

00:51:34.900 Project

00:51:35.460 Warp Speed,

00:51:36.880 Abraham Accords,

00:51:37.800 I mean,

00:51:38.040 really some

00:51:38.620 impossible-looking

00:51:39.600 stuff.

00:51:41.100 So,

00:51:41.620 would it be

00:51:43.160 a mental

00:51:43.700 health problem

00:51:44.700 to have

00:51:45.680 somebody think,

00:51:46.620 oh, I can

00:51:47.080 do things

00:51:47.560 that other

00:51:47.960 people can't

00:51:48.700 do, but

00:51:50.200 then he

00:51:50.500 does them?

00:51:52.200 Like, what

00:51:52.700 do you do

00:51:53.000 with that?

00:51:54.220 Is that a

00:51:54.680 problem?

00:51:56.180 Did anybody

00:51:57.040 get hurt?

00:51:58.820 Well,

00:51:59.820 remember I

00:52:00.580 told you long

00:52:01.300 ago, I had

00:52:01.880 this theory,

00:52:03.080 and I've been

00:52:04.360 using the word

00:52:04.960 bully, that

00:52:06.560 Trump seems

00:52:07.780 to trigger

00:52:08.520 people,

00:52:09.020 people who

00:52:10.360 have had

00:52:10.660 some

00:52:10.880 experience

00:52:11.480 with a

00:52:11.880 bully,

00:52:13.140 but maybe

00:52:13.980 people who

00:52:15.000 have

00:52:15.120 experience

00:52:15.680 with that

00:52:16.380 personality

00:52:17.040 type.

00:52:18.260 You know

00:52:18.460 what I

00:52:18.640 mean?

00:52:19.480 So, if

00:52:20.560 Trump was,

00:52:21.720 let's say,

00:52:22.740 mean to his

00:52:24.000 staff, or he

00:52:25.260 lied a lot,

00:52:27.440 which the

00:52:27.960 fact-checkers

00:52:28.580 would say

00:52:29.020 happened,

00:52:30.080 you'd have to

00:52:30.580 ask yourself,

00:52:31.500 but did it

00:52:31.920 hurt you?

00:52:33.340 Did any of

00:52:34.060 that make a

00:52:35.100 difference?

00:52:36.180 Because the

00:52:37.260 weird thing

00:52:37.760 about having

00:52:38.260 a narcissist

00:52:38.840 as your

00:52:39.560 president is

00:52:41.400 it's the

00:52:41.780 right job.

00:52:43.140 You finally

00:52:43.720 found a

00:52:44.660 personality that

00:52:45.620 fits the

00:52:46.100 job perfectly

00:52:46.860 for some

00:52:48.300 tasks.

00:52:49.720 Now, do

00:52:50.020 you always

00:52:50.660 want somebody

00:52:52.280 with that

00:52:52.780 mindset to

00:52:53.720 be your

00:52:54.000 president?

00:52:54.420 I don't

00:52:54.640 think so.

00:52:55.820 I don't

00:52:56.120 think you

00:52:56.460 want anybody

00:52:57.140 with any

00:52:57.600 mindset to

00:52:58.200 be your

00:52:58.460 president

00:52:58.780 forever.

00:53:00.040 It's good

00:53:00.720 to cycle in

00:53:01.420 different

00:53:01.700 personalities,

00:53:02.320 because they

00:53:02.820 have different

00:53:03.260 traits,

00:53:04.240 different things

00:53:04.920 they can

00:53:05.200 accomplish.

00:53:06.540 Is it

00:53:06.800 possible that

00:53:07.500 Biden got a

00:53:08.160 better result

00:53:08.820 than Trump

00:53:10.140 would have

00:53:10.620 in the

00:53:11.120 Middle East?

00:53:12.020 I don't

00:53:12.380 know.

00:53:13.600 I don't

00:53:13.960 know.

00:53:14.240 There's no

00:53:14.540 way to

00:53:14.740 know.

00:53:18.160 Skip says,

00:53:19.200 Trump's

00:53:19.560 self-esteem is

00:53:20.280 too high for

00:53:20.840 him to be a

00:53:21.360 narcissist.

00:53:22.320 Well, the

00:53:22.760 theory of

00:53:23.220 narcissists is

00:53:24.020 that they

00:53:24.320 secretly have

00:53:25.120 low self-esteem,

00:53:26.460 but what we

00:53:27.420 see of them

00:53:28.120 looks like

00:53:28.720 high self-esteem.

00:53:30.220 So that's

00:53:30.660 the theory.

00:53:32.320 So you

00:53:32.760 wouldn't know

00:53:33.300 what his

00:53:33.760 inner thoughts

00:53:34.880 are.

00:53:35.160 You would

00:53:35.360 only see

00:53:35.760 his external

00:53:36.320 stuff.

00:53:41.700 All right.

00:53:42.440 Let's just

00:53:42.780 look at your

00:53:43.260 comments for a

00:53:43.960 moment here.

00:53:46.100 Yeah, those

00:53:47.260 of you who

00:53:47.680 are saying

00:53:47.960 that Trump

00:53:48.800 can't be a

00:53:49.500 narcissist

00:53:49.880 because he

00:53:50.620 has high

00:53:51.100 self-esteem,

00:53:52.020 you're on

00:53:52.300 the wrong

00:53:52.620 path.

00:53:54.700 The theory

00:53:55.620 is that they

00:53:56.220 look like

00:53:56.940 high self-esteem

00:53:57.900 while secretly

00:53:58.980 in a way that

00:53:59.800 you can't

00:54:00.260 tell have

00:54:01.340 low self-esteem.

00:54:02.320 Now, I'm not

00:54:02.700 saying that

00:54:03.100 is Trump.

00:54:04.360 I'm saying

00:54:04.700 that's the

00:54:05.140 theory of

00:54:05.640 what the

00:54:05.900 word means.

00:54:10.740 I would

00:54:11.340 also point

00:54:11.840 out that

00:54:12.360 everybody in

00:54:13.120 the media,

00:54:14.160 let's say

00:54:14.700 the hosts

00:54:15.980 of CNN,

00:54:17.060 the hosts

00:54:17.480 of MSNBC,

00:54:19.160 are they

00:54:19.880 narcissists?

00:54:22.420 Almost

00:54:22.980 definitely.

00:54:23.740 what happens

00:54:26.360 when a

00:54:28.200 narcissist

00:54:28.780 newsreader

00:54:30.740 person

00:54:31.240 feels that

00:54:33.120 their opponent

00:54:33.780 is a

00:54:34.420 narcissist,

00:54:35.360 let's say

00:54:35.700 Trump?

00:54:37.000 What happens

00:54:37.800 when the

00:54:38.340 narcissists

00:54:39.200 square off

00:54:41.020 against each

00:54:41.580 other?

00:54:42.480 Well, it

00:54:43.060 looks like

00:54:43.520 exactly what

00:54:44.320 you saw.

00:54:45.200 It looks like

00:54:46.000 the fake news

00:54:46.800 acting like

00:54:47.380 they've never

00:54:47.800 made a mistake,

00:54:49.120 projecting all

00:54:50.120 of their flaws

00:54:50.840 onto Trump,

00:54:52.340 while Trump

00:54:53.020 acted like

00:54:53.920 he never

00:54:54.240 made a mistake

00:54:55.000 and projected

00:54:55.760 any flaws

00:54:56.540 he had

00:54:56.900 onto the

00:54:57.320 news.

00:54:59.580 I think

00:55:00.440 it was a

00:55:00.860 battle between

00:55:01.460 narcissists.

00:55:03.120 But the

00:55:03.740 question is,

00:55:04.400 are all

00:55:04.740 narcissists

00:55:05.360 bad all the

00:55:05.960 time,

00:55:06.420 or is there

00:55:06.760 anything that

00:55:07.280 they do for

00:55:07.900 us that's

00:55:08.320 good?

00:55:08.640 And I've

00:55:09.000 always argued

00:55:09.560 that Trump

00:55:10.660 has a

00:55:11.160 productive

00:55:13.300 brand of

00:55:14.820 narcissism,

00:55:15.760 partly because

00:55:16.820 he ties his

00:55:17.680 ego to the

00:55:18.300 country.

00:55:20.240 Right?

00:55:20.400 If you tie

00:55:21.340 your ego to

00:55:21.980 the United

00:55:22.340 States by

00:55:23.280 being president

00:55:24.000 and being

00:55:24.800 associated with

00:55:25.520 patriotism,

00:55:26.280 etc., you

00:55:27.220 really don't

00:55:27.780 have an

00:55:28.180 option of

00:55:28.660 doing a

00:55:29.020 bad job.

00:55:30.500 You kind

00:55:31.020 of have to

00:55:31.480 work really

00:55:32.160 hard to do

00:55:32.780 it right,

00:55:33.880 because otherwise

00:55:34.520 you don't

00:55:35.260 look good.

00:55:36.000 That's the

00:55:36.380 whole point.

00:55:37.320 The last

00:55:37.820 thing I want

00:55:38.360 is somebody

00:55:38.760 who has a

00:55:39.180 low self-esteem

00:55:40.220 and says to

00:55:41.400 themselves,

00:55:41.840 you know,

00:55:42.700 Russia is

00:55:43.460 pushing us

00:55:44.080 around a lot,

00:55:44.920 but on the

00:55:45.420 other hand,

00:55:45.860 we do deserve

00:55:46.580 it.

00:55:47.820 You know,

00:55:48.100 China is

00:55:48.660 sending a lot

00:55:49.180 of fentanyl to

00:55:49.900 the United

00:55:50.400 States,

00:55:50.860 but you

00:55:51.100 know,

00:55:51.320 we have

00:55:51.580 to take

00:55:51.840 some

00:55:52.020 responsibility.

00:55:52.720 It's us

00:55:53.200 that's taking

00:55:53.680 the fentanyl.

00:55:55.320 Right?

00:55:55.820 So if you

00:55:56.480 get somebody

00:55:56.940 who has

00:55:57.240 what I

00:55:57.600 would call

00:55:58.000 a healthy

00:55:59.500 personality

00:56:00.260 with no

00:56:01.300 personality

00:56:01.920 disorders,

00:56:02.960 no mental

00:56:04.000 illness

00:56:04.400 whatsoever,

00:56:05.840 I don't

00:56:06.240 know if you

00:56:06.580 want that

00:56:06.920 person for

00:56:07.420 president.

00:56:08.540 They might

00:56:09.200 be a little

00:56:09.780 bit too

00:56:10.240 reasonable

00:56:10.700 for getting

00:56:12.000 the job

00:56:12.440 done.

00:56:12.700 Yeah,

00:56:15.580 Lux Life

00:56:16.060 says all

00:56:16.520 those with

00:56:17.000 presidential

00:56:17.580 aspirations

00:56:18.620 are

00:56:19.240 narcissists.

00:56:20.880 I feel

00:56:21.460 like that's

00:56:22.100 true.

00:56:22.960 I feel

00:56:23.420 like that's

00:56:23.920 true.

00:56:24.620 And some

00:56:25.600 might do a

00:56:26.040 better job

00:56:26.500 of pretending

00:56:27.240 they're not,

00:56:28.340 but it feels

00:56:28.860 like a safe

00:56:29.760 statement.

00:56:30.900 How about

00:56:31.300 people who

00:56:31.720 do what I

00:56:32.140 do?

00:56:33.460 How about

00:56:34.100 people who

00:56:34.580 do podcasts,

00:56:35.660 people who

00:56:36.200 are news

00:56:37.120 readers,

00:56:38.120 et cetera?

00:56:38.640 Are they

00:56:39.100 narcissists?

00:56:40.960 I'd have to

00:56:41.720 say yes.

00:56:43.200 Right?

00:56:44.680 You know,

00:56:45.680 you've watched

00:56:46.540 me for a

00:56:47.000 while.

00:56:47.280 Let me ask

00:56:49.200 you to

00:56:49.500 diagnose me.

00:56:50.300 This will

00:56:50.500 be fun.

00:56:52.660 Those of

00:56:53.260 you who

00:56:53.520 have watched

00:56:53.900 me for a

00:56:54.400 while,

00:56:55.900 you know

00:56:57.080 that it's

00:56:57.400 hard to

00:56:57.720 untangle

00:56:58.280 what is

00:56:58.940 a,

00:56:59.860 somehow a

00:57:00.800 natural

00:57:01.180 narcissist

00:57:01.660 from somebody

00:57:02.460 who is a

00:57:03.180 public

00:57:05.340 personality,

00:57:06.500 you know,

00:57:06.640 a celebrity,

00:57:07.320 if you will.

00:57:08.240 Because

00:57:08.640 celebrities,

00:57:09.400 their job

00:57:09.940 is to

00:57:10.280 show off.

00:57:11.920 And it's

00:57:12.540 what we

00:57:12.820 do.

00:57:13.740 Right?

00:57:14.000 I put

00:57:14.300 myself in

00:57:14.840 that minor

00:57:15.360 celebrity

00:57:15.760 category.

00:57:16.880 So I

00:57:17.380 show off

00:57:18.060 all day

00:57:18.460 long,

00:57:19.280 but I

00:57:20.420 also tell

00:57:20.920 myself it's

00:57:21.500 my job.

00:57:22.880 Am I

00:57:23.480 rationalizing?

00:57:24.900 So diagnose

00:57:25.440 me.

00:57:26.880 Do I have

00:57:28.320 a problem

00:57:30.140 that you

00:57:31.300 would associate

00:57:31.780 with any

00:57:32.260 of those

00:57:32.660 characteristics

00:57:33.900 of narcissism?

00:57:35.240 does Mike

00:57:37.060 Pompeo

00:57:37.580 still have

00:57:38.040 Trump

00:57:38.360 fooled?

00:57:39.160 Sparky

00:57:39.560 asks.

00:57:39.940 Well,

00:57:40.080 I don't

00:57:40.320 know

00:57:40.500 exactly

00:57:40.960 what that

00:57:41.440 means.

00:57:42.360 I'd have

00:57:42.640 to have

00:57:42.860 an example

00:57:45.120 for that.

00:57:49.300 Somebody

00:57:49.820 says a

00:57:50.300 narcissist

00:57:50.720 destroys

00:57:51.760 others.

00:57:53.180 Yeah,

00:57:53.580 I don't

00:57:53.840 feel like

00:57:54.380 I do

00:57:54.660 that,

00:57:55.300 but I

00:57:55.700 don't

00:57:55.900 think

00:57:56.200 also

00:57:56.520 narcissists

00:57:57.200 know

00:57:57.440 they're

00:57:57.640 narcissists.

00:57:58.820 I feel

00:57:59.340 as though

00:57:59.800 one of the

00:58:01.120 characteristics

00:58:01.760 is that

00:58:02.640 you are

00:58:03.560 pretty sure

00:58:04.280 you're

00:58:04.520 not.

00:58:05.560 So if

00:58:06.000 you're

00:58:06.220 open to

00:58:06.720 the

00:58:06.880 possibility,

00:58:07.960 it almost

00:58:08.700 proves you're

00:58:09.280 not.

00:58:10.140 But am I

00:58:11.360 such a

00:58:11.880 narcissist

00:58:12.240 that I

00:58:12.760 know

00:58:13.100 that if

00:58:13.900 I tell

00:58:14.280 you I'm

00:58:15.440 aware of

00:58:15.980 my

00:58:16.160 narcissism,

00:58:16.940 I'm an

00:58:17.260 extra cool

00:58:17.900 narcissist?

00:58:19.140 See,

00:58:19.460 you can't

00:58:19.760 really

00:58:19.940 untangle

00:58:20.400 it.

00:58:21.420 Because it

00:58:22.320 is natural

00:58:22.860 and even

00:58:24.360 desirable,

00:58:25.100 I would

00:58:25.320 say,

00:58:25.600 for people

00:58:26.000 to protect

00:58:26.760 their ego

00:58:27.560 and to

00:58:28.920 protect

00:58:29.340 their image

00:58:30.180 and to

00:58:30.600 protect

00:58:31.020 and even

00:58:32.060 to fight

00:58:32.760 that their

00:58:33.300 point is

00:58:33.760 right and

00:58:34.180 the other

00:58:34.460 side is

00:58:34.840 wrong.

00:58:35.540 I guess

00:58:35.880 it's just

00:58:36.200 a matter

00:58:36.480 of degree.

00:58:41.460 Reverse

00:58:41.900 narcissist

00:58:42.400 is somebody

00:58:43.000 who believes

00:58:43.480 they're the

00:58:43.840 worst.

00:58:44.660 Yeah,

00:58:45.080 which would

00:58:45.840 you prefer?

00:58:48.180 Thank

00:58:48.620 you,

00:58:48.800 Michael.

00:58:53.300 Patrick

00:58:53.740 says,

00:58:54.180 I would

00:58:54.360 be the

00:58:54.680 only

00:58:54.880 narcissist

00:58:55.380 that makes

00:58:55.940 you feel

00:58:56.380 at ease.

00:58:57.440 Well,

00:58:57.840 that is

00:58:58.180 my job,

00:58:58.760 but of

00:58:59.280 course the

00:58:59.780 trouble is

00:59:00.560 what if

00:59:01.860 I'm one

00:59:02.400 of the

00:59:02.580 apparently

00:59:02.920 there's a

00:59:03.400 kind of

00:59:03.840 narcissist

00:59:04.280 who gets

00:59:05.660 their

00:59:06.120 supply,

00:59:08.200 that's the

00:59:08.960 word they

00:59:09.320 use,

00:59:09.940 who gets

00:59:10.380 their

00:59:10.760 benefits

00:59:11.600 from acting

00:59:12.460 like they're

00:59:12.840 not a

00:59:13.160 narcissist.

00:59:14.540 And I

00:59:15.060 think,

00:59:15.400 oh my

00:59:15.660 God,

00:59:15.940 I'm one

00:59:16.240 of those

00:59:16.740 because

00:59:17.700 in public

00:59:18.860 I'm always

00:59:19.340 trying to

00:59:19.720 help people

00:59:20.220 who are

00:59:21.340 not me.

00:59:22.600 So you'd

00:59:23.200 say,

00:59:23.420 well,

00:59:23.580 that's no

00:59:24.280 narcissist.

00:59:25.540 Nobody's

00:59:26.020 going to be

00:59:26.380 continuously

00:59:27.300 trying to

00:59:28.000 help other

00:59:28.460 people if

00:59:29.580 they're a

00:59:29.860 narcissist.

00:59:30.560 But it

00:59:31.920 turns out

00:59:32.800 that's a

00:59:34.120 special

00:59:34.440 kind of

00:59:34.880 narcissist.

00:59:36.360 Somebody who's

00:59:37.280 showing off

00:59:38.120 by trying to

00:59:39.460 help other

00:59:39.880 people,

00:59:40.400 and if they

00:59:40.880 succeed,

00:59:41.960 well,

00:59:42.660 then they

00:59:43.080 get some

00:59:43.420 credit,

00:59:43.860 right?

00:59:44.520 So aren't

00:59:45.120 they really

00:59:45.500 narcissists?

00:59:47.160 But I would

00:59:48.060 say it's

00:59:48.420 productive.

00:59:49.820 Can't there

00:59:50.520 be productive

00:59:51.400 narcissism?

00:59:52.760 Don't you

00:59:53.420 want people

00:59:54.100 who have

00:59:54.640 capabilities and

00:59:55.800 resources to

00:59:57.100 try to help

00:59:57.800 other people,

00:59:58.380 people, and

00:59:59.180 in return,

01:00:00.120 they get

01:00:00.540 credit?

01:00:01.740 They get

01:00:02.480 respect.

01:00:04.460 Do we

01:00:04.920 want that to

01:00:05.560 go away?

01:00:06.400 I don't

01:00:06.740 think so.

01:00:07.340 So I think

01:00:07.680 there are

01:00:07.960 cases,

01:00:08.880 Trump being

01:00:09.440 one, and

01:00:10.140 I try to

01:00:10.840 be in the

01:00:11.960 category of

01:00:12.640 people who

01:00:13.160 I totally

01:00:14.500 love it when

01:00:16.000 people have a

01:00:17.420 good feeling

01:00:17.920 about me.

01:00:18.820 Don't you?

01:00:20.100 Is that

01:00:20.620 wrong?

01:00:22.460 Should I

01:00:23.040 feel guilty

01:00:23.620 that if I

01:00:24.840 do something

01:00:25.480 worthy and

01:00:26.340 people say

01:00:26.800 good things

01:00:27.320 about it,

01:00:27.940 should I

01:00:28.500 feel bad

01:00:29.020 that that

01:00:29.500 makes me

01:00:29.880 feel kind

01:00:31.060 of good

01:00:31.420 when people

01:00:32.060 say good

01:00:32.500 things about

01:00:32.920 me?

01:00:33.860 I don't

01:00:34.440 know.

01:00:34.840 Where's the

01:00:35.420 line?

01:00:36.020 If you

01:00:36.360 show off

01:00:36.880 for a

01:00:37.220 living,

01:00:37.840 which is

01:00:38.220 what I

01:00:38.500 do,

01:00:40.000 where's

01:00:41.320 the line?

01:00:42.140 I think

01:00:42.540 I'm a

01:00:42.900 productive

01:00:43.400 narcissist,

01:00:44.700 meaning I

01:00:45.140 probably,

01:00:46.180 well,

01:00:46.860 I try,

01:00:48.020 I don't

01:00:48.320 know if I

01:00:48.660 do,

01:00:49.300 but I try

01:00:49.880 to add more

01:00:50.460 that I'm

01:00:50.800 subtracting,

01:00:52.280 at least

01:00:52.640 it's my

01:00:53.000 intention,

01:00:53.620 I don't

01:00:53.940 know if

01:00:54.260 I'm

01:00:54.400 pulling it

01:00:54.780 off.

01:00:56.000 All right,

01:00:56.340 Michael says,

01:00:58.280 is narcissist

01:00:59.440 a behavior

01:01:00.120 word or

01:01:00.580 a motivation

01:01:01.020 word?

01:01:01.380 How can

01:01:01.680 we read

01:01:02.160 motivations

01:01:02.800 of others?

01:01:03.960 The

01:01:04.360 motivation

01:01:04.800 of a

01:01:05.180 narcissist,

01:01:06.140 according to

01:01:06.620 the experts,

01:01:07.520 is just

01:01:08.000 to protect

01:01:08.800 their fragile

01:01:10.160 self-esteem,

01:01:11.400 and that

01:01:11.620 everything is

01:01:12.320 an outgrowth

01:01:13.560 of that.

01:01:14.400 So that's

01:01:14.840 the assumed

01:01:15.480 motivation,

01:01:16.380 whether that's

01:01:16.960 accurate or

01:01:17.500 not.

01:01:19.940 Michael

01:01:20.420 says,

01:01:20.780 I'm not a

01:01:21.120 narcissist,

01:01:21.760 but I'm a

01:01:22.180 boomer.

01:01:22.540 close

01:01:23.460 enough.

01:01:24.120 I accept

01:01:24.920 that.

01:01:25.880 I accept

01:01:26.720 that

01:01:27.080 characterization.

01:01:32.600 Well,

01:01:33.180 many of you

01:01:33.920 think I'm

01:01:34.360 not a

01:01:34.720 narcissist,

01:01:35.320 but it

01:01:35.500 probably has

01:01:35.920 to do

01:01:36.260 with the

01:01:36.640 fact that

01:01:36.960 you agree

01:01:37.420 with me.

01:01:39.600 I'm fully

01:01:40.340 hedged on

01:01:40.840 this trade.

01:01:43.040 Thanks.

01:01:44.560 All right,

01:01:45.000 so that's

01:01:45.320 all I have

01:01:45.640 for today,

01:01:46.320 and I
