00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody. It's time. It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams, the best time of every single day.
00:00:14.280 No doubt about it, the argument is over. It's just the best time.
00:00:18.880 And today, I have for you, look at these notes. Yeah, content. Good content for the first time.
00:00:27.760 It's going to be the best content you've ever heard, and all you need to enjoy it to its maximum potential is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker, a chels, a stein, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:39.020 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:49.860 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to rock the entire world like a 5.8 earthquake in California. Go.
00:00:57.760 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:01:03.220 Well, as some of you have been following my saga of trying to be a dumb guy who learns how to do smart stuff, meaning that I was trying to learn how to do the proper sound engineering for this live stream.
00:01:18.220 Now, if you've been with me from the beginning, you knew it started with me just holding up my phone and talking to it.
00:01:23.740 And over time, I try to chip away at it to make all the elements a little bit better.
00:01:30.680 You know, I'm always A-B testing.
00:01:32.280 Let me tell you what happened recently.
00:01:34.400 So I asked on social media, how do I get two sound signals to go through my Rodecaster Pro mixer so that my iPad and my laptop or two iPads can have the same sound with one microphone?
00:01:47.300 And many, many people gave me suggestions.
00:01:51.320 Do you know what happens when you get lots of good suggestions and they're all different?
00:01:58.640 Worthless.
00:01:59.940 It turns out that if you get lots and lots of help, you can't tell what is the good help because it's all different.
00:02:06.700 If I got lots of advice and it was largely the same or there was one, let's say, one approach that people seem to favor, then I'd say, well, there we go.
00:02:16.580 Got something to try.
00:02:17.980 But if 100 people give you technical advice and all 100 are different, you have nothing because you've got to try all 100 things and it's basically the same as guessing.
00:02:29.040 So most recently, somebody gave me a full diagram with details of what cables to buy to make this connection, which I don't think the equipment is exactly made to do this.
00:02:41.100 But you start with these.
00:02:43.300 All right.
00:02:43.720 So you've got this going into the speaker holes and then it goes into one connection.
00:02:48.180 But then the one connection goes back into a splitter.
00:02:52.300 So you've got your coming out analog, right, into the splitter.
00:02:57.540 And then the splitter goes into these cables and then these cables go into these little devices, into the microphone part, which I think is trying to change it from analog back to digital.
00:03:10.560 And then it goes back into this and then it goes into your devices.
00:03:14.960 Now, how impressive was this?
00:03:17.700 Somebody had to figure out all of these cable types and all of the different transfers and redirections to make all this work.
00:03:29.980 And I plugged it in and I'll be damned.
00:03:33.660 It actually worked.
00:03:35.020 The sound actually went from my microphone all the way into the device.
00:03:39.320 But how many engineers are already laughing?
00:03:42.840 Come on, tell me.
00:03:45.620 Those of you who actually know what you're doing, how many of you are laughing now?
00:03:50.560 Some of you are.
00:03:51.840 I know it.
00:03:53.180 You got punked, somebody says.
00:03:56.600 No.
00:03:57.600 Yeah.
00:03:58.200 It worked.
00:03:59.400 But the noise was so extreme it wasn't usable.
00:04:03.500 So you could tell somebody was talking.
00:04:05.500 But there was so much interference it wasn't a useful thing.
00:04:08.840 So that was another week of work and ordering things and putting things together.
00:04:14.180 And there's one more thing that did not work.
00:04:17.560 Will I be discouraged by this?
00:04:21.380 Nope.
00:04:22.120 Nope.
00:04:22.800 Because every time I do something that doesn't work, I learn a new thing about engineering.
00:04:28.500 Which is, if you've got too many connections and changes, it's probably not going to work.
00:04:34.620 I know what you're saying.
00:04:36.500 I hear you.
00:04:37.420 You're all saying hire an engineer, hire a producer, and even if you don't want them
00:04:42.160 sitting there with you, at least have them show you how to set it up once.
00:04:47.520 That's good advice from people who have never worked with an engineer.
00:04:51.900 Have you ever worked with an engineer?
00:04:54.900 Let me show you how it goes.
00:04:57.320 All right.
00:04:57.980 We're going to make this work, and I'll show you how to do this.
00:05:01.200 Here's the device you're going to use.
00:05:02.860 You want to come in, and you want to do this.
00:05:04.600 That's it.
00:05:06.680 That's it.
00:05:07.180 Just this.
00:05:08.380 Hit these three buttons in that order.
00:05:10.160 You're done.
00:05:10.580 It's going to work every time.
00:05:12.020 All right.
00:05:12.480 Give me my paycheck.
00:05:13.420 I'm out of here.
00:05:14.620 First day you turn it on.
00:05:18.920 Nothing.
00:05:21.060 Nothing.
00:05:21.420 You call the engineer, and he says, oh, did I forget to tell you that you also have this
00:05:26.880 setting that has to be set?
00:05:28.540 You're, oh, okay.
00:05:29.200 Now I've got to change the setting.
00:05:30.980 It works.
00:05:32.140 Yay.
00:05:33.400 Next day, put on the setting.
00:05:37.400 Doesn't work.
00:05:39.140 So you call up the engineer.
00:05:40.380 He goes, oh, did I tell you that sometimes in this situation you have to have the setting
00:05:45.580 on and then do this, but do it in a different order.
00:05:48.660 You go, okay, got it now.
00:05:50.240 I have all the situations.
00:05:51.400 So you do that.
00:05:53.520 What happens the next day?
00:05:55.440 Yeah, the next day it doesn't work.
00:05:57.400 So one of the things you can count on an engineer to do is to find a perfect solution that never
00:06:03.760 works twice because it's the nature of audio engineering that you can set it up once and
00:06:09.100 it just doesn't work the next time.
00:06:10.940 It's very common across all the products.
00:06:13.920 And I know you're going to say, get OBS and get all these things that combine things.
00:06:19.960 They all have that problem.
00:06:21.520 They don't work twice.
00:06:22.860 So I've tried them all.
00:06:24.340 All right.
00:06:24.700 Moving on.
00:06:26.180 At the billionaire summer camp in Sun Valley where Bill Gates gave a speech to the other
00:06:31.720 billionaires who were assembled there for fun, he gave a speech on climate change.
00:06:38.540 So he's talking about climate change to all the billionaires so they can do something
00:06:41.940 about it.
00:06:43.700 In a related news, this is the Daily Mail reported this.
00:06:47.700 So many of the attendees flew in on private jets to hear the climate change talk that the
00:06:54.180 airspace as far afield as Michigan and Canada had to be temporarily closed.
00:07:01.720 Let me put it in my own words.
00:07:04.940 There were so many private jets flying to the speech about climate change that it blocked out
00:07:11.500 the sun.
00:07:12.000 And for a moment, the sun couldn't get through to the earth, and it actually cooled the earth.
00:07:18.500 There were so many private jets in the air.
00:07:21.040 Mostly it was shady from Michigan to Sun Valley.
00:07:24.760 So that's the good news.
00:07:26.420 That's the good news.
00:07:28.480 All right.
00:07:29.140 Here's something.
00:07:30.540 I often recommend that you do things.
00:07:33.460 Wouldn't you say?
00:07:34.180 Sometimes I give you advice.
00:07:35.980 Sometimes I say, you know, you should read this article, or you should look at this tweet,
00:07:40.000 or you should maybe follow this person on Twitter.
00:07:42.940 You hear me say that a lot, right?
00:07:45.000 Here's what I don't often say, but I'm going to say it today.
00:07:49.460 Stop everything you're doing, except this.
00:07:52.540 As soon as you're done with this, or actually, I will give you permission to stop this.
00:07:57.460 That's how good this thing is that I'm going to recommend.
00:08:00.280 You could actually stop the live stream right now, and just go listen to this content.
00:08:05.740 It's pinned at the top of my Twitter page.
00:08:08.440 And it's Tucker Carlson reading an article, or I don't know if it's a tweet thread or article,
00:08:13.660 from Daryl Cooper, who I don't know, but he's a tremendous writer.
00:08:19.500 So whoever Daryl Cooper is, oh my God, can he write?
00:08:23.580 Let me say that again.
00:08:25.400 Oh my God, can he write?
00:08:27.640 And the reason that Tucker is reading his piece on TV is that you've almost never seen anything like this.
00:08:37.840 It is so well written that your brain just does something.
00:08:42.740 I mean, it's weird.
00:08:44.020 And here's what he pulled off that is very hard to do,
00:08:46.560 and it's sort of the, in some ways, it's the holy grail of all writers.
00:08:50.660 So he does what all writers are trying to do,
00:08:53.100 but not many have ever pulled it off in the history of writing,
00:08:58.100 which is to take this big, complicated thing that we all experience,
00:09:02.120 in this case he's writing about the 2020 election,
00:09:05.600 and the fact that Republicans are doubters about the outcome.
00:09:09.600 And the story is pretty big, because there are a lot of moving parts.
00:09:12.820 And what Daryl does, which Tucker Carlson recognized and saw its value, as do I,
00:09:20.640 is that somehow he managed to put all that into a logical framework.
00:09:27.380 It was crazy.
00:09:29.260 It was so good.
00:09:30.860 So here's my recommendation.
00:09:32.120 I don't want to ruin the content by, you know, summarizing it too much,
00:09:35.880 but let me tell you, if you're wondering why it is that Republicans are more doubtful
00:09:41.640 about the outcome of the election,
00:09:43.620 you're probably saying, well, that's kind of obvious.
00:09:45.460 I can think of ten reasons.
00:09:47.380 You have to see his description.
00:09:50.580 It's just crazy.
00:09:51.820 It's so good.
00:09:53.100 And honestly, honestly, stop what you're doing to absorb it.
00:09:58.420 It's at the top of my Twitter feed.
00:09:59.860 You'll know where to find it.
00:10:00.900 There's a TikTok star who's in trouble because he had some exotic snakes,
00:10:07.500 and one of them was a zebra cobra.
00:10:11.040 And he let it escape, but he didn't tell anybody for months,
00:10:14.600 and I guess authorities found it and captured it.
00:10:18.260 But here are some fun snake facts that I just found.
00:10:23.600 All right, are you ready for fun snake facts?
00:10:26.800 Number one, a zebra cobra can spit venom nine feet,
00:10:33.580 and the venom actually burns you like acid.
00:10:38.520 Oh, my God, that's the scariest snake I've ever heard of.
00:10:41.920 First of all, I don't like to get within nine feet of anything called a cobra,
00:10:46.460 but if you do get within nine feet, you're still not too safe,
00:10:50.600 even at nine feet, because of that spitting venom.
00:10:53.400 So we had this spitting venom zebra snake in some neighborhood,
00:10:58.800 and they finally got it.
00:10:59.920 But here are some other things that we learned.
00:11:01.980 Number one, if you have a zebra cobra or other lethal snake and it gets out,
00:11:09.740 apparently you are legally obliged to inform law enforcement
00:11:13.220 that your lethal snake is in the neighborhood.
00:11:16.840 This TikTok star did not do that, so he's in trouble for that.
00:11:20.180 How many of you would have known that?
00:11:21.600 Would you have known that it was a legal requirement?
00:11:26.420 No, obviously it was a moral and ethical requirement
00:11:29.240 to let people know there's a deadly snake in the neighborhood.
00:11:32.540 So I think we all agree on the moral ethical part.
00:11:35.640 But did you know there was a legal requirement?
00:11:38.160 I wouldn't have known that.
00:11:39.620 Here's another one that's weird.
00:11:41.300 Apparently he's also in trouble for mislabeling the containers of snakes.
00:11:47.180 Did you know if you put the wrong label on your snake container?
00:11:52.160 You can get in legal trouble?
00:11:54.920 I'm not really good at labeling things.
00:11:57.320 I'm not good with details.
00:11:58.980 So I feel like I would not be a good snake farmer,
00:12:01.720 because I'd be mislabeling all my containers.
00:12:03.720 Mine would be like the snake, and then there would be like the other snake,
00:12:08.540 because I don't really know much about snakes.
00:12:10.300 So if I put a bunch of snakes in the container,
00:12:13.120 I probably wouldn't spend too much time figuring out the correct label.
00:12:17.460 I'd be like snake number two, snake number three.
00:12:20.420 Don't touch the snake.
00:12:23.000 All right.
00:12:24.720 CNN, and I didn't think I'd ever live to see this,
00:12:28.820 and listen carefully, because you're going to think I'm misspeaking.
00:12:32.160 So hear my words clearly.
00:12:36.280 CNN today reported real news.
00:12:40.920 Let me say it again, because you probably don't believe it.
00:12:44.000 CNN reported real news today.
00:12:46.760 It's talking about the city of Charlottesville,
00:12:49.300 and they're taking down their Confederate statutes.
00:12:53.120 Apparently that's actually a real thing that's happening.
00:12:55.900 Now here's the part that's shocking.
00:12:58.820 They did a story about Charlottesville and Confederate statues.
00:13:03.140 They mentioned the Unite the Right event,
00:13:07.480 and they did not mention, not one mention,
00:13:12.220 to the Fine People hoax,
00:13:14.180 which normally they had always reported as fact.
00:13:17.100 Think about that.
00:13:19.420 CNN did a story about Charlottesville
00:13:22.860 and removing Confederate statues,
00:13:25.900 and the Unite the Right rally
00:13:28.180 that sort of was the predecessor of it all.
00:13:32.720 And they didn't mention at all,
00:13:35.600 not any mention,
00:13:37.500 of the Fine People hoax.
00:13:41.640 You're welcome.
00:13:43.940 And shout-out to Steve Cortez and Joel Pollack
00:13:46.800 for pounding on that hoax since 2018, right?
00:13:52.520 And we have been pounding that thing and pounding it,
00:13:56.840 and many of you have been helping on that
00:13:59.660 by retweeting the tweets and the articles and stuff.
00:14:03.220 Now, I'm not going to say we won,
00:14:05.600 but I will say that Joe Biden stopped saying
00:14:07.920 the Fine People hoax,
00:14:09.360 and this is the first time I've seen
00:14:11.680 the CNN reported it without the hoax reported
00:14:14.860 as if it were true.
00:14:16.740 Maybe it's progress.
00:14:19.680 Well, happy July 10th.
00:14:21.740 Today is sort of an important day, July 10th.
00:14:25.440 It's a day when some of you will have a great day today.
00:14:29.020 I guarantee it.
00:14:31.140 Many of you watching this are going to go out
00:14:32.760 and have just a great day.
00:14:34.280 Other people, my enemies,
00:14:37.100 will be choking on their own bile today,
00:14:39.780 but they know who they are,
00:14:42.720 and I'll leave that to their imaginations
00:14:45.060 about what's going to happen today, July 10th.
00:14:48.820 Some days will be good.
00:14:51.280 Some days will not.
00:14:53.000 All right.
00:14:54.480 Biden reversed another Trump policy
00:14:57.400 on pregnant aliens.
00:14:59.880 Now, these are not my words.
00:15:03.480 I'm using the words from the news.
00:15:06.600 They're referring to the topic here
00:15:09.240 as a policy on pregnant aliens.
00:15:13.360 I assume this is something about the UFOs.
00:15:17.640 I didn't read all the details,
00:15:19.820 but apparently Trump had a policy
00:15:22.620 that if you were pregnant
00:15:24.760 and you were an alien
00:15:25.960 and you came to the United States,
00:15:28.340 that they would detain you or not
00:15:31.440 on a case-by-case basis.
00:15:35.700 But now, Biden has reversed that
00:15:38.320 because it was cruel and evil, they say,
00:15:40.840 and instead,
00:15:43.120 anybody who's pregnant and or nursing
00:15:45.700 will not be detained.
00:15:48.440 So no detaining for anybody who's pregnant.
00:15:53.000 So no pregnant aliens will be detained.
00:15:55.500 So if you see a lot of pregnant aliens,
00:15:59.800 and you can usually tell them
00:16:01.480 because they have antennae
00:16:03.240 and they might be green, for example,
00:16:07.620 possibly have a different number of eyes or features,
00:16:11.940 but you also notice them very pregnant
00:16:13.920 and you want to stay away from them.
00:16:16.260 If you've ever seen a pregnant alien,
00:16:21.360 and here I'm assuming we're talking about space aliens
00:16:23.740 because I didn't read the article,
00:16:25.500 but it seems obvious with all the UFOs,
00:16:27.880 this must be what it's about.
00:16:29.480 Let me do my impression of a pregnant alien.
00:16:32.760 I'm going to say that wasn't my best impression,
00:16:47.400 but that was what a pregnant alien looks like.
00:16:52.960 Let's see.
00:16:54.940 How about that?
00:16:57.460 Sorry about that.
00:16:59.140 I just got so excited.
00:17:00.620 All right.
00:17:05.760 Here's some disappearing news stories.
00:17:09.720 All right.
00:17:10.080 I'm going to build a little theme here
00:17:11.860 about disappearing news.
00:17:13.800 And it starts with a story about
00:17:17.880 the Washington Post editorial board
00:17:21.940 is writing, had a piece that said,
00:17:26.520 why are unions and Democrats so opposed
00:17:28.820 to giving poor children a choice in schooling?
00:17:32.860 And I thought to myself,
00:17:34.440 the reason that this was being tweeted around
00:17:37.000 is that it's rare.
00:17:40.400 That it's rare.
00:17:41.260 It's rare that the Washington Post,
00:17:45.280 especially a left-leaning publication,
00:17:47.720 would even have the topic.
00:17:50.040 You know, it looks like an opinion piece,
00:17:52.040 but would even have this topic
00:17:53.600 about opposing school choice
00:17:56.440 and it's bad for poor children.
00:17:58.960 And here's what I ask you.
00:18:01.460 Doesn't it seem like the left-leaning news,
00:18:04.320 which is the main news,
00:18:05.600 we'll get to the Mike Sernovich part of this,
00:18:07.320 doesn't it seem that the news
00:18:09.620 has disappeared the story of school choice?
00:18:14.240 Right?
00:18:15.640 The news has just disappeared that story.
00:18:19.200 And you don't realize
00:18:22.080 until somebody plays it,
00:18:25.160 you don't realize just,
00:18:26.500 Jesus fucking Christ,
00:18:30.140 you fucking bastards.
00:18:33.040 All right, I'm going to fix my microphone a little bit,
00:18:35.920 but don't fucking talk about the audio anymore.
00:18:39.120 The problem's on your side
00:18:40.280 if you've got an audio problem.
00:18:41.680 All right, so enough about that.
00:18:43.100 So we're seeing a situation
00:18:47.080 in which the whole school choice debate
00:18:49.480 is basically treated as not an issue
00:18:52.300 when it might be the best issue,
00:18:55.260 the most important issue in the country.
00:18:57.220 In my opinion,
00:18:58.580 if you were to pick the one most important thing,
00:19:00.920 it would be school choice.
00:19:03.000 Certainly fixing the options for black Americans
00:19:07.680 and anybody who's low income
00:19:09.780 who doesn't have a good school.
00:19:10.840 But we don't really see much debate on that
00:19:14.000 in the news, do we?
00:19:17.140 We don't have much debate on that.
00:19:19.080 And so you can see that the news decides
00:19:20.880 not only what is news,
00:19:22.920 but what we even debate on.
00:19:24.840 They just keep it out of the news
00:19:26.060 and it's just not a story.
00:19:28.480 So we're going to tie some stories together here,
00:19:31.800 but let me do the stories first.
00:19:35.400 Let's say you wanted to follow the science,
00:19:38.020 because that's a good idea, right?
00:19:39.420 And let's say you were in California
00:19:41.600 and you read that today.
00:19:43.800 The CDC said on Friday, I guess yesterday,
00:19:47.720 that fully vaccinated teachers and students
00:19:49.720 do not need to wear masks.
00:19:52.460 So that's what the CDC says.
00:19:54.400 Now, do you think that the CDC
00:19:55.660 is using science to make their decisions?
00:20:00.380 Well, I think they are, right?
00:20:02.340 It's the CDC, probably using science.
00:20:04.860 So what did California do
00:20:07.500 when the CDC said you don't need masks
00:20:10.240 if you're fully vaccinated?
00:20:12.520 California followed the science
00:20:14.960 in the opposite direction
00:20:16.040 and said, oh, you totally are going to need masks
00:20:19.120 to go back to school.
00:20:22.160 Fuck you.
00:20:24.180 Fuck you.
00:20:26.560 Fuck, fuck you.
00:20:29.340 Governor Newsom.
00:20:30.260 Now, I've got to say,
00:20:32.300 I have not been too engaged
00:20:33.940 in the recall Newsom saga.
00:20:38.420 You know, I prefer it.
00:20:40.020 I think that, you know, he's worthy of recall.
00:20:42.560 But I don't know what the odds are.
00:20:44.260 The odds are low, I think,
00:20:45.400 that he actually gets recalled.
00:20:46.840 But that process is underway.
00:20:49.920 And when I see that California
00:20:52.280 is ignoring science,
00:20:53.740 or at least CDC's version of science,
00:20:56.120 which actually is people-friendly,
00:20:57.500 I say to myself, why is that?
00:21:00.340 Can you give me some reason, California,
00:21:03.080 in which your guidelines would be different?
00:21:05.360 And it turns out there is a reason.
00:21:07.720 All right, so now the CDC says
00:21:09.200 you don't need masks if you're vaccinated
00:21:10.840 to go back to school.
00:21:12.760 California says you do.
00:21:14.440 And here's California's reason
00:21:15.960 that they're disagreeing with the CDC, okay?
00:21:19.420 Here's California's reason.
00:21:23.800 At the outset of the new year,
00:21:25.680 students should be able to walk into school
00:21:28.000 without worrying about whether
00:21:30.360 they will feel different or singled out
00:21:32.980 for being vaccinated or unvaccinated.
00:21:37.080 Treating all kids the same
00:21:38.540 will support a calm and supportive
00:21:41.000 school environment.
00:21:45.520 Are you fucking kidding me?
00:21:49.340 Really?
00:21:50.320 Are you fucking kidding me?
00:21:51.840 California is saying directly
00:21:54.140 that they're going to ignore the science
00:21:56.680 because it will make kids feel better
00:21:59.180 and not tease each other
00:22:00.300 about being vaccinated or not vaccinated.
00:22:03.160 Are you fucking kidding me?
00:22:05.340 You fucking idiots.
00:22:07.400 You're going to send kids
00:22:09.140 who are fully vaccinated into school
00:22:11.160 and make them wear a fucking mask all day.
00:22:13.980 Really?
00:22:14.880 You've gone too far.
00:22:16.720 Too far.
00:22:18.620 Too fucking far.
00:22:20.160 So I'm going to give you
00:22:22.620 in a little bit
00:22:23.460 a plan for how to beat Newsom
00:22:27.100 in the recall.
00:22:29.560 Now, I hadn't been, like I said,
00:22:30.900 I haven't been involved in any way.
00:22:33.020 But there is a very clear path
00:22:35.020 to beat him,
00:22:36.160 especially with this mask thing.
00:22:38.300 The mask stuff alone
00:22:39.320 should be enough to kick him out of office.
00:22:41.460 Right?
00:22:41.720 Unless the governor comes out against that
00:22:43.540 and I don't think it's going to happen,
00:22:45.060 that should be the end of him.
00:22:46.740 As soon as you go against
00:22:47.980 the CDC's recommendation for masks,
00:22:50.240 that should be it.
00:22:51.760 You don't even need to talk
00:22:53.000 about other fucking things.
00:22:54.140 Really.
00:22:54.720 That's it.
00:22:57.040 Because you're going to piss off
00:22:58.280 kids and their moms.
00:23:02.440 Forget about the dads
00:23:03.600 because nobody cares about dads.
00:23:05.040 But you're going to piss off
00:23:06.540 the kids and their moms.
00:23:08.160 And this is going to be some trouble.
00:23:10.300 And I'm going to add to this trouble
00:23:11.920 in a little bit.
00:23:12.580 But here's my plan
00:23:16.280 for beating Governor Newsom.
00:23:18.300 Now this requires a good candidate.
00:23:21.180 Right?
00:23:21.680 So I'm going to tell you
00:23:22.620 what a good candidate could do
00:23:24.480 to win the election.
00:23:26.380 The perfect candidate
00:23:27.660 would be a socially liberal Republican.
00:23:32.520 So that's the first start.
00:23:34.220 You have to be socially liberal
00:23:35.860 because it's California.
00:23:37.680 There's just no way around it.
00:23:39.460 You know, you're not going to get elected
00:23:40.520 unless you're socially on the right page.
00:23:42.980 And Arnold Schwarzenegger
00:23:44.800 was a good example.
00:23:46.380 So Schwarzenegger was clearly
00:23:48.360 socially liberal.
00:23:51.940 But he was a Republican otherwise
00:23:53.680 on the hard-headed stuff.
00:23:55.420 And that's kind of what you're going to need.
00:23:57.280 But here's the specific plan
00:23:59.680 that would win the governorship
00:24:01.500 in California.
00:24:03.080 Number one,
00:24:03.760 propose pairing nuclear power plants,
00:24:08.380 small ones,
00:24:09.280 the new designs that are safer,
00:24:10.600 with desalinization
00:24:12.560 and build a lot of them.
00:24:15.520 Now you say to yourself,
00:24:16.580 but Scott,
00:24:17.100 that would take 20 years
00:24:18.280 and everybody opposes nuclear
00:24:19.880 and desalinization takes so much energy
00:24:22.760 that it's not cost-effective.
00:24:24.280 Well, it's more cost-effective
00:24:25.960 if you put it next to a nuclear power plant.
00:24:28.780 And here's the thing.
00:24:31.780 Much like build the wall,
00:24:34.200 feel the visual.
00:24:35.960 I want to put a nuclear power plant
00:24:38.060 next to a desalinization plant,
00:24:40.380 and we want to do this pair of things
00:24:42.020 all over California
00:24:43.040 so that we have enough water
00:24:44.720 and enough energy forever,
00:24:46.520 and we've also dealt with climate change,
00:24:48.560 and we've done it in the most scientific way.
00:24:50.520 Now, that message is really visual,
00:24:56.500 and it's also a complete solution,
00:24:59.540 but you're going to have to beat the fact
00:25:01.420 that it takes 20 years to do it.
00:25:03.700 So you're going to have to lead
00:25:05.520 with a Republican message
00:25:06.980 that you've got to get rid of the regulations
00:25:09.240 and the NAMBA stuff,
00:25:11.380 and you're going to have to really educate the public
00:25:13.440 on why they need this.
00:25:15.260 So you would say,
00:25:16.080 number one,
00:25:16.740 I've got to educate the public
00:25:18.040 that they think that the old nuclear
00:25:20.220 is the dangerous stuff,
00:25:21.780 and it's not going to be the old nuclear
00:25:23.500 that we're proposing.
00:25:24.840 We're proposing the newer,
00:25:26.680 you know, at least Generation 3,
00:25:28.520 but probably Generation 4.
00:25:30.380 We're proposing that we go hard
00:25:33.200 at getting rid of regulations,
00:25:35.720 maybe get the federal government involved
00:25:37.360 in some way.
00:25:39.080 But the visual of nuclear plus desalinization,
00:25:42.540 even if it takes longer than you think,
00:25:45.620 is a solution.
00:25:46.420 And it would be the first time
00:25:48.420 anybody had one, right?
00:25:52.360 Even if it's hard,
00:25:54.440 at least it's a solution.
00:25:56.100 What is the other solution?
00:25:57.840 More solar panels?
00:25:59.560 No.
00:26:00.540 There isn't really any other solution.
00:26:02.600 So you would be the only governor
00:26:03.820 who's even proposing a frickin' plan.
00:26:06.480 How about this?
00:26:07.760 You're a Republican,
00:26:09.140 and you say,
00:26:09.700 we know that California
00:26:10.820 is going to catch on fire any moment now.
00:26:13.100 Apparently it's going to be
00:26:13.880 the worst fire season of all time,
00:26:16.160 because it's the driest.
00:26:18.120 And what is the governor's
00:26:20.720 forest management plan?
00:26:22.840 Do you know?
00:26:23.760 I don't know.
00:26:24.920 I live here.
00:26:26.340 I live in a state
00:26:27.340 that's going to be literally
00:26:28.400 on fire within weeks.
00:26:31.240 Within weeks,
00:26:32.040 I won't be able to go outdoors.
00:26:33.740 Literally,
00:26:34.160 I won't be able to go outdoors
00:26:35.260 because the air quality
00:26:36.280 will be too low.
00:26:38.480 And I don't know
00:26:39.680 what my governor
00:26:41.160 is even doing about it.
00:26:43.000 So if you're going to run against him,
00:26:45.040 come up with a forest management plan
00:26:47.040 and tell us what it is.
00:26:48.640 I just want to hear one.
00:26:50.880 It could be that Newsom has a plan
00:26:52.720 or even that he's working on it
00:26:53.980 or even that he's doing a good job.
00:26:55.480 I don't know.
00:26:55.920 But I'm not hearing about it.
00:26:59.360 So you could beat him on that.
00:27:01.720 Next, of course,
00:27:02.540 you would say
00:27:02.940 no masks for kids in school.
00:27:04.920 That's enough to win the election, really.
00:27:06.900 If you just did that one thing.
00:27:08.760 If you weren't bad on anything else
00:27:11.020 and you said,
00:27:11.780 look,
00:27:12.140 I'll do the same thing
00:27:13.280 Newsom's doing,
00:27:14.180 but no masks in school.
00:27:16.160 I'll just take his entire platform.
00:27:18.260 I'll do everything he's going to do
00:27:19.740 with one change.
00:27:21.860 Just one change.
00:27:22.660 I'm just not going to require masks in schools.
00:27:26.200 You would get elected immediately
00:27:27.580 because people would say,
00:27:28.920 well, we'd like to Newsom,
00:27:30.020 but except for that mask thing,
00:27:31.320 so we'll vote for you.
00:27:32.780 Now I'm exaggerating a little bit
00:27:34.200 to make a point.
00:27:35.580 Of course,
00:27:36.180 you'd want to be strong on crime
00:27:37.580 and also on forcing addicts into treatment.
00:27:41.360 Sort of maybe a Dr. Drew,
00:27:43.560 Michael Schellenberger
00:27:44.400 kind of approach to things
00:27:47.080 that makes sense
00:27:48.060 and basically all the smart people
00:27:50.040 would agree with it, really.
00:27:51.400 And then here's my kicker for you.
00:27:55.820 Are you ready?
00:27:56.820 Here's the really persuasive part
00:27:58.500 because if you want to get attention,
00:28:01.100 you've got to say some controversial things, right?
00:28:04.120 Here's the most controversial thing
00:28:05.980 you'll ever hear from,
00:28:07.720 potentially,
00:28:09.240 from this.
00:28:10.440 Suppose you were a Republican
00:28:12.000 running for governor in California
00:28:14.000 and you knew that the Democrats
00:28:15.960 were going to call you a racist
00:28:17.140 and if you came out against critical race theory,
00:28:20.660 well, then they'd really call you a racist.
00:28:23.580 So how do you come out
00:28:24.580 against critical race theory
00:28:26.460 without being against critical race theory
00:28:29.660 and still get attention
00:28:31.440 and still get elected?
00:28:33.000 Here's how.
00:28:34.240 You favor it.
00:28:36.460 You say,
00:28:37.120 I'm totally in favor
00:28:38.080 of critical race theory
00:28:39.440 as long as
00:28:41.520 there's also school choice.
00:28:43.900 Because it is a world
00:28:47.580 in which parents
00:28:48.260 do get to decide
00:28:49.140 somewhat
00:28:50.000 how their kids are socialized.
00:28:52.780 So if you want your kids
00:28:53.880 to be socialized
00:28:54.840 in a critical race theory,
00:28:56.340 intersectionality kind of thing,
00:28:58.240 there will be options for that.
00:29:00.300 If you want your kids
00:29:01.580 to not be exposed to that,
00:29:03.660 we'll give you some options for that.
00:29:05.320 But we've got to have school choice
00:29:07.060 and we've got to push
00:29:08.700 as hard as we can
00:29:09.400 for school choice.
00:29:10.480 Because if we get that,
00:29:12.260 you and I don't have to argue
00:29:13.460 about what your kids
00:29:14.460 are being taught versus mine.
00:29:16.100 I'll just send my kids
00:29:17.200 where they get taught
00:29:18.240 what I want them to teach.
00:29:19.780 I'm not done yet.
00:29:21.340 Not done yet.
00:29:22.980 I would also say,
00:29:24.200 in addition to critical race theory,
00:29:26.540 which if you would like
00:29:27.460 to teach it to your kids,
00:29:28.460 I'm all for it
00:29:29.320 because it has some good points to it.
00:29:32.000 And you have to say
00:29:33.000 it has good points.
00:29:34.780 So you start with,
00:29:35.760 oh yeah,
00:29:36.140 there's definitely
00:29:36.640 institutional racism,
00:29:38.760 lots of work to be done,
00:29:40.140 critical race theory
00:29:40.980 gives us a good framework for it,
00:29:43.280 but there are legitimate
00:29:44.720 criticisms to it
00:29:45.900 and parents get to decide.
00:29:48.780 I would say this,
00:29:50.280 if you're going to teach
00:29:51.080 critical race theory,
00:29:52.460 which says that you're being,
00:29:54.080 let's say,
00:29:54.640 your progress or your future
00:29:57.980 is being limited by race,
00:30:00.400 if that's what we're going
00:30:01.240 to teach kids,
00:30:01.860 it is only ethical and moral
00:30:04.280 that you also teach them
00:30:07.520 life strategy.
00:30:10.080 Eh?
00:30:11.100 Wouldn't you like it
00:30:12.300 if the kid who learns
00:30:13.640 that race is what's holding him back
00:30:15.360 could simultaneously learn
00:30:17.320 some strategy that says,
00:30:18.580 look,
00:30:19.180 but because of this
00:30:20.920 racial imbalance stuff,
00:30:22.900 you could go to
00:30:23.860 any Fortune 500 company,
00:30:26.040 let's say you're a black woman,
00:30:29.440 you know,
00:30:30.040 whatever,
00:30:30.560 you could go to any
00:30:32.060 Fortune 500 company
00:30:33.220 and say,
00:30:33.620 look,
00:30:34.360 I've got all the qualifications
00:30:35.500 you're looking for,
00:30:37.620 as do the other applicants,
00:30:39.320 right?
00:30:39.640 I might not even be more qualified
00:30:41.400 than the other applicants,
00:30:42.700 but you need some diversity,
00:30:45.040 it's your number one,
00:30:46.220 it's one of your top goals,
00:30:47.960 and I can give you diversity.
00:30:49.820 I'm also just as good
00:30:50.960 as the other applicants,
00:30:51.940 I have all the qualifications.
00:30:53.640 You will get that job
00:30:55.120 basically every time,
00:30:57.140 right?
00:30:58.360 So if you're a Republican,
00:31:00.200 say,
00:31:00.700 I embrace critical race theory
00:31:02.180 and what it teaches,
00:31:03.220 but it's teaching you
00:31:04.300 to be helpless
00:31:05.000 unless you augment it,
00:31:07.560 make it better,
00:31:08.680 improve on it,
00:31:10.200 tell you what to do about it,
00:31:12.200 right?
00:31:12.740 Get some school choice,
00:31:13.920 go to a Fortune 500 company,
00:31:17.160 use their own policies
00:31:18.240 to your advantage,
00:31:19.420 strategy.
00:31:21.160 Would you oppose that?
00:31:22.620 Well, if you do,
00:31:23.640 you've got a school choice.
00:31:26.000 And on intersectionality,
00:31:27.320 as I've said before,
00:31:28.460 I would embrace it
00:31:29.680 as a Republican,
00:31:31.380 and I would say,
00:31:31.940 you know,
00:31:32.980 this is a perfectly
00:31:33.940 good conversation
00:31:34.840 for everybody to understand
00:31:36.420 how people are being
00:31:37.340 discriminated against,
00:31:39.080 but why would we limit it?
00:31:40.620 Let's expand it,
00:31:42.300 embrace it to death,
00:31:43.700 and add Republicans
00:31:44.960 as a category of people
00:31:46.980 who are discriminated against,
00:31:48.940 or let's just say
00:31:50.160 non-Democrats.
00:31:51.120 I'm going to give you
00:31:52.900 an example of a non-Democrat
00:31:54.880 who is being discriminated
00:31:56.840 against right now.
00:31:59.020 It's a real thing.
00:32:00.200 It's in the headlines.
00:32:01.400 Well,
00:32:02.260 it's on Twitter anyway.
00:32:03.520 It didn't make it
00:32:04.000 to the headlines.
00:32:05.860 But we'll talk about
00:32:06.700 that in a moment.
00:32:08.340 So,
00:32:08.880 you should add
00:32:09.500 the categories of people
00:32:10.540 who are short,
00:32:11.280 ugly,
00:32:11.780 old,
00:32:12.280 Republican,
00:32:13.280 Christian,
00:32:13.920 and make sure
00:32:15.240 that you know
00:32:15.760 that all the categories
00:32:16.720 that are discriminated against
00:32:18.140 are accounted for,
00:32:19.220 and then just be
00:32:19.800 in favor of it.
00:32:21.120 The candidate
00:32:22.860 that I just described,
00:32:24.360 especially if they said
00:32:25.260 they'll work on
00:32:25.860 lowering your taxes
00:32:26.760 and making it
00:32:27.620 a better business environment,
00:32:29.060 I think would get
00:32:30.300 elected easily.
00:32:32.280 Yeah,
00:32:32.800 in boldness,
00:32:33.400 right?
00:32:33.580 I think that candidate
00:32:35.900 would get elected easily.
00:32:37.140 But it would have to be
00:32:37.860 a Schwarzenegger type of person
00:32:40.060 who is Republican
00:32:41.720 in the hard-nosed stuff
00:32:43.420 but has all the social equality goals
00:32:47.200 of maybe an Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:32:50.540 I won't say that he has goals
00:32:52.080 for that,
00:32:53.120 but he's socially liberal.
00:32:55.520 somebody suggesting Dave Rubin
00:32:59.620 to run for governor.
00:33:03.660 He'd be great,
00:33:04.880 you know,
00:33:05.860 as I'm just thinking about it.
00:33:07.860 If you were,
00:33:08.420 would Dave Rubin
00:33:10.680 be like the best governor?
00:33:12.780 He might actually be
00:33:13.880 because he seems completely
00:33:15.860 immune from the politics of stuff.
00:33:19.880 So what would be better
00:33:22.420 than a married gay man
00:33:24.260 running for governor
00:33:26.120 who is not wed
00:33:28.060 to any political ideology
00:33:31.120 and would just like
00:33:32.820 to make things work?
00:33:35.240 He'd be a really strong candidate.
00:33:37.040 I don't think he has interest in it,
00:33:38.320 but he has all the tools,
00:33:40.560 definitely the communication tools.
00:33:43.000 All right.
00:33:45.380 Here's a trend
00:33:46.540 I've been watching.
00:33:47.320 Just give me an update on it.
00:33:48.580 There's a company called
00:33:49.320 Mighty Homes
00:33:50.240 that do these
00:33:51.660 kit homes.
00:33:53.400 Now, when I say kit,
00:33:54.700 it doesn't mean
00:33:55.200 the homeowner
00:33:55.760 can put it together,
00:33:56.720 but they make,
00:33:57.880 you know,
00:33:58.160 just panels
00:33:59.060 and windows
00:34:00.140 that just,
00:34:01.040 you know,
00:34:01.680 they hook together
00:34:02.760 in order
00:34:03.380 and it's really easy
00:34:05.240 to assemble them.
00:34:06.400 Now, some people say,
00:34:07.420 hey, these are not
00:34:08.160 attractive enough
00:34:09.080 or whatever,
00:34:10.000 and that's something
00:34:11.960 that will,
00:34:12.620 of course,
00:34:13.560 improve in the future,
00:34:14.680 but keep in mind
00:34:15.480 that most homes
00:34:16.060 are not attractive.
00:34:17.620 How often do you
00:34:18.420 drive past a home
00:34:19.280 and say,
00:34:19.660 well, that's an
00:34:20.100 attractive home?
00:34:21.860 Homes are not
00:34:22.500 really attractive.
00:34:23.600 So if you could make
00:34:24.280 the cost lower
00:34:25.240 and make it easier
00:34:26.480 to build,
00:34:27.060 you'd have something.
00:34:28.860 But, as many have
00:34:30.120 pointed out,
00:34:31.760 the local zoning laws
00:34:33.360 make it nearly impossible
00:34:35.000 to do any kind
00:34:35.920 of construction
00:34:36.500 that's not the normal kind.
00:34:37.840 So how do you get past
00:34:39.640 the, really,
00:34:40.840 it's just a total roadblock
00:34:42.780 of all the local ordinances?
00:34:45.680 And I would just say this.
00:34:47.800 There probably isn't anyway.
00:34:49.800 You probably can't get past it
00:34:51.260 without, you know,
00:34:52.220 working every state individually
00:34:53.920 and it'd be a mess.
00:34:55.680 But,
00:34:56.600 imagine, if you will,
00:34:57.800 a President Trump.
00:34:59.580 Somebody who understands,
00:35:01.220 you know,
00:35:01.900 building and construction
00:35:02.980 and knows about
00:35:03.840 all the obstacles to it,
00:35:06.980 do we need
00:35:07.960 a federal
00:35:09.460 set of building guidelines
00:35:12.080 that if you meet them,
00:35:14.620 the federal ones,
00:35:15.940 they would supersede
00:35:16.980 any local ones?
00:35:18.820 Now,
00:35:19.640 I don't know what that,
00:35:20.740 problems that would be
00:35:21.560 constitutionally,
00:35:23.620 you know,
00:35:24.420 it would be,
00:35:24.940 of course,
00:35:25.520 usurping power
00:35:26.380 from the states,
00:35:27.300 but would people mind?
00:35:30.220 Would we be worse off?
00:35:32.560 Would it work?
00:35:34.600 I'm seeing lots of
00:35:35.500 no, no, no,
00:35:36.440 oh God, no.
00:35:37.800 No,
00:35:38.060 keep in mind,
00:35:38.780 what I'm saying is that
00:35:39.840 the states keep their rules
00:35:41.660 just as they are.
00:35:44.320 The states keep their rules
00:35:45.940 but the only exception
00:35:48.260 would be the homes
00:35:49.560 that would have a,
00:35:51.100 sort of a federal blessing
00:35:52.420 if they met certain standards.
00:35:55.340 So I'm seeing people have,
00:35:56.760 in the comments,
00:35:58.060 this is pretty interesting,
00:35:59.060 I'm seeing lots of comments
00:36:00.140 along the lines of
00:36:01.840 you don't want
00:36:03.140 the federal government
00:36:03.960 to have more control.
00:36:05.540 I get that.
00:36:06.820 I get that.
00:36:08.480 Plunging home values,
00:36:09.800 somebody says,
00:36:10.420 really?
00:36:11.740 I don't know.
00:36:12.980 I don't think so.
00:36:14.480 Why would the home values plunge?
00:36:17.020 Because these would be good homes.
00:36:18.460 We're not talking about
00:36:19.420 building trailer parks.
00:36:21.180 I'm talking about
00:36:21.820 attractive homes
00:36:22.700 that just don't cost that much.
00:36:26.760 Oh,
00:36:27.600 building is the most local activity.
00:36:30.920 So you want your control
00:36:32.040 to be driven down
00:36:32.920 to the most local level.
00:36:34.220 I get that.
00:36:35.420 But,
00:36:36.100 we have a very specific problem,
00:36:38.480 which is if you
00:36:39.460 allow the control
00:36:40.720 at the local level,
00:36:42.000 you can never improve
00:36:43.260 your building process.
00:36:45.980 Now let me stop all of you
00:36:50.880 from saying,
00:36:51.760 oh,
00:36:51.960 it's like the Sears Homes kits.
00:36:54.860 No.
00:36:56.600 Nothing like that.
00:36:58.120 And then some of you
00:36:58.760 are going to say,
00:36:59.240 it's like tiny homes.
00:37:00.180 Oh,
00:37:00.320 I get it.
00:37:00.920 Tiny homes.
00:37:02.160 No.
00:37:03.140 I'm not talking about
00:37:04.080 anything like the Sears kits
00:37:06.060 of long ago.
00:37:07.140 I'm not talking about
00:37:08.300 anything like a tiny home.
00:37:09.960 I'm talking about
00:37:10.820 using current technology,
00:37:13.360 not ancient technology,
00:37:14.660 current technology
00:37:15.820 to do something
00:37:17.180 way better or different
00:37:18.320 than anything
00:37:19.540 that's ever been done before.
00:37:20.920 And I'm not talking about
00:37:21.980 making them small.
00:37:23.680 Make them a full-size,
00:37:25.620 regular home,
00:37:27.160 just less expensive.
00:37:30.260 So that's coming,
00:37:31.360 and Mighty Homes
00:37:31.960 is one example of it.
00:37:33.180 And I would say that
00:37:34.340 even the Mighty Homes model,
00:37:37.060 which looks really good,
00:37:38.320 it looks like a pretty
00:37:39.460 well-thought-out model,
00:37:40.980 but it's probably
00:37:42.580 the Model A,
00:37:43.280 you know,
00:37:44.100 if you were going to look
00:37:44.700 at the automobile industry,
00:37:45.960 it's like a Model A.
00:37:49.860 Yes,
00:37:50.300 and there's things
00:37:50.800 called SIPs,
00:37:52.240 Structural Integrated Panels.
00:37:54.560 Is that what SIP stands for?
00:37:56.200 So that's been around
00:37:57.560 for a while,
00:37:58.560 but I think the thing
00:37:59.740 that they do wrong
00:38:00.640 is they make these
00:38:01.660 giant panels
00:38:02.460 that you need a crane
00:38:03.580 to put up.
00:38:05.520 Can't you make the panels
00:38:06.700 like one foot by one foot
00:38:08.520 so you just snap them together
00:38:10.340 like Legos,
00:38:11.300 put them on the back
00:38:12.020 of a pickup truck,
00:38:13.480 unload them one at a time,
00:38:14.760 and then the homeowner
00:38:15.440 just snaps them together?
00:38:17.020 Do you really need
00:38:18.040 the whole panel
00:38:19.100 to be delivered
00:38:20.020 by a crane?
00:38:21.460 I don't know.
00:38:22.540 I feel like there's
00:38:23.400 improvement to be made there.
00:38:26.980 I love this story
00:38:28.080 of these Spotify employees
00:38:29.800 who are mad about
00:38:30.600 Joe Rogan's content.
00:38:32.760 Are you following that?
00:38:37.840 Sparky says
00:38:38.580 there are different environments
00:38:39.800 across the U.S.A.
00:38:40.820 Yeah, you would have
00:38:42.160 a different kit
00:38:43.380 for every environment.
00:38:45.320 That's right.
00:38:46.180 So your winter kit
00:38:47.840 and your summer kits
00:38:48.940 or your warm weather kit
00:38:50.500 would look different.
00:38:51.480 But you could work
00:38:52.160 all that out.
00:38:52.920 So you'd just have
00:38:53.580 a set of requirements
00:38:56.060 for all of those options.
00:39:00.040 So the Spotify employees
00:39:01.520 are mad at Joe Rogan.
00:39:02.480 And this story
00:39:03.960 is the most delightfully
00:39:07.220 useless story.
00:39:10.620 Like, none of this matters
00:39:11.440 to any of us.
00:39:12.520 But I love the word
00:39:13.980 still upset.
00:39:16.000 It's the still
00:39:16.920 that makes it funny.
00:39:18.280 Because when I first
00:39:19.280 read the story,
00:39:20.420 Spotify employees
00:39:21.440 are upset
00:39:22.420 with Joe Rogan's podcast.
00:39:24.680 I thought,
00:39:24.960 oh, there's a story.
00:39:26.460 You know,
00:39:26.780 Joe Rogan has done something
00:39:28.400 that makes these employees
00:39:29.800 upset,
00:39:30.420 and that's worth
00:39:31.180 knowing about.
00:39:32.260 Interesting media story.
00:39:34.280 But time goes by,
00:39:37.240 and they add the word
00:39:38.800 still.
00:39:40.120 Spotify employees
00:39:41.340 still upset.
00:39:43.320 They're still upset.
00:39:45.560 And for some reason
00:39:46.660 that's funny.
00:39:47.700 Because they can't find
00:39:49.680 a way to be happy.
00:39:54.360 I can't imagine
00:39:56.460 going to work.
00:39:58.600 And, you know,
00:39:59.420 I can see
00:39:59.920 if somebody
00:40:00.980 had a bad feeling
00:40:02.480 about some specific
00:40:03.520 opinion that Joe Rogan
00:40:04.860 had.
00:40:05.300 I can see that
00:40:06.020 they would express it.
00:40:07.600 And I can even see
00:40:08.460 that they might tell
00:40:09.140 management.
00:40:10.520 But if weeks
00:40:11.400 have gone by,
00:40:12.760 and this is still
00:40:13.500 your biggest problem,
00:40:14.860 is the stuff
00:40:15.460 that Joe Rogan
00:40:16.200 said on the
00:40:16.980 wait for it,
00:40:19.340 stuff that Joe Rogan
00:40:20.500 said on the
00:40:21.160 wait for it,
00:40:23.480 most popular
00:40:25.000 podcast
00:40:25.660 podcast
00:40:25.940 in the fucking
00:40:27.340 world,
00:40:28.220 maybe you should
00:40:30.520 get over it.
00:40:31.760 Because
00:40:32.320 it's the most
00:40:33.540 popular podcast
00:40:34.720 in the world.
00:40:37.720 He's doing
00:40:38.420 something right.
00:40:39.840 Because
00:40:40.340 you couldn't be
00:40:41.960 doing something
00:40:42.620 wrong and
00:40:43.480 also have the
00:40:44.900 most popular
00:40:46.280 podcast
00:40:47.040 in the whole
00:40:48.080 fucking world.
00:40:48.700 world.
00:40:49.860 So he's got
00:40:50.720 that going
00:40:51.120 for him.
00:40:52.320 But these
00:40:52.900 Spotify employees,
00:40:54.300 I would just
00:40:55.280 love to see a
00:40:55.920 photo of the
00:40:56.820 Spotify employees
00:40:57.700 that are upset.
00:40:58.960 Because don't you
00:40:59.640 know that that
00:41:00.080 would be a funny
00:41:00.660 picture?
00:41:01.520 If you just took
00:41:02.320 all the ones that
00:41:02.920 are mad at Joe
00:41:03.620 Rogan,
00:41:04.520 and just said,
00:41:05.520 we'd like a group
00:41:06.560 picture.
00:41:07.720 Oh, no reason.
00:41:08.640 No reason.
00:41:09.240 We just think
00:41:09.800 you're awesome.
00:41:10.880 So we'd just like
00:41:12.200 to take a group
00:41:13.000 picture,
00:41:13.980 see what you
00:41:15.200 look like.
00:41:16.500 Don't you think
00:41:17.180 that would be a
00:41:17.660 funny picture?
00:41:19.680 You know it
00:41:20.500 would.
00:41:21.340 That would be
00:41:22.000 an interesting
00:41:22.860 group of people.
00:41:24.120 But here's the
00:41:24.660 funniest part.
00:41:26.420 What if none
00:41:27.240 of this is true?
00:41:29.440 Or what if it's
00:41:30.440 a little bit
00:41:31.060 true, but it
00:41:32.260 got exaggerated?
00:41:34.020 Have you ever
00:41:34.700 heard of
00:41:35.860 better marketing?
00:41:38.320 Spotify is
00:41:39.440 getting all this
00:41:40.140 national attention
00:41:41.040 about Joe
00:41:41.960 Rogan, who
00:41:42.480 they just
00:41:42.760 paid a hundred
00:41:44.280 million dollars
00:41:44.960 to for his
00:41:45.520 show.
00:41:46.500 So they've
00:41:46.860 got this
00:41:47.160 enormous
00:41:47.520 investment.
00:41:48.700 And they
00:41:49.060 really need
00:41:49.500 to promote
00:41:49.940 it.
00:41:51.060 If they
00:41:51.580 just did
00:41:51.980 advertisements,
00:41:53.040 how effective
00:41:53.660 would that
00:41:54.040 be?
00:41:54.500 It'd help,
00:41:55.520 right?
00:41:55.760 I'm sure they
00:41:56.180 did that.
00:41:57.120 But what
00:41:57.620 could be
00:41:57.940 better than
00:41:59.020 saying Spotify's
00:42:00.140 own employees
00:42:00.840 are trying to
00:42:01.420 get it kicked
00:42:01.860 off the air?
00:42:02.540 And by the way,
00:42:03.000 it's the most
00:42:03.400 popular thing
00:42:04.040 in the country.
00:42:05.300 You couldn't
00:42:06.020 beat that.
00:42:06.960 This is the
00:42:07.640 best marketing
00:42:08.380 I've ever
00:42:08.840 seen.
00:42:10.580 All right.
00:42:12.020 Here's a funny
00:42:12.780 story.
00:42:13.380 True story.
00:42:14.120 There was an
00:42:14.500 internet personality
00:42:16.060 test.
00:42:16.500 You've seen
00:42:16.940 those.
00:42:18.000 Who knows
00:42:18.680 how much
00:42:19.040 science,
00:42:19.780 I doubt
00:42:20.060 there's much
00:42:20.440 of it,
00:42:21.200 behind it.
00:42:22.060 But Christine
00:42:23.700 and I both
00:42:24.320 took the
00:42:24.940 personality test.
00:42:26.580 And one of
00:42:26.940 the things
00:42:27.140 they do,
00:42:27.500 and it's
00:42:27.660 one of
00:42:27.900 these,
00:42:28.340 you know,
00:42:28.940 it comes
00:42:29.340 up with
00:42:29.840 an INTG,
00:42:31.400 whatever,
00:42:32.140 those kinds
00:42:34.120 of personality
00:42:35.080 profiles.
00:42:37.000 So I don't
00:42:37.620 think there's
00:42:37.900 much science
00:42:38.400 to it,
00:42:38.720 but they're
00:42:38.920 fun to do.
00:42:39.380 And I did
00:42:40.620 mine,
00:42:41.220 and both
00:42:42.120 Christine and
00:42:42.700 I answered
00:42:43.100 the same set
00:42:43.680 of questions.
00:42:45.400 So I saw
00:42:47.040 her questions,
00:42:47.840 and I saw
00:42:48.140 her answer,
00:42:48.760 and she saw
00:42:49.320 mine.
00:42:50.200 So same set
00:42:50.820 of questions,
00:42:51.420 and when I
00:42:51.920 answered them
00:42:52.440 just with my
00:42:53.100 own answers,
00:42:54.320 it decided
00:42:55.120 that I'm an
00:42:56.020 advocate
00:42:56.500 personality.
00:42:58.580 So an
00:42:59.240 advocate,
00:42:59.820 according to
00:43:00.180 this personality
00:43:00.780 test,
00:43:01.120 is the rarest
00:43:01.920 of all
00:43:02.240 personality
00:43:02.700 types.
00:43:03.560 And people
00:43:03.960 who share
00:43:04.460 it,
00:43:05.100 the same
00:43:05.540 personality
00:43:06.040 as I have,
00:43:07.080 according to
00:43:07.560 this test,
00:43:08.080 would be
00:43:09.000 Mother Teresa.
00:43:10.880 So Mother
00:43:11.460 Teresa would
00:43:12.320 come out
00:43:12.640 the same
00:43:12.960 on this.
00:43:13.980 Martin Luther
00:43:14.760 King,
00:43:16.600 feeling pretty
00:43:17.340 good,
00:43:17.900 feeling pretty
00:43:18.380 good about
00:43:18.740 that.
00:43:19.560 And Nelson
00:43:20.500 Mandela,
00:43:22.040 look at me.
00:43:24.300 So those
00:43:24.880 are the three
00:43:25.260 people who
00:43:25.840 would have
00:43:26.060 the same
00:43:26.400 personality
00:43:26.880 profile as
00:43:27.560 I do.
00:43:28.060 Mother Teresa,
00:43:28.880 Martin Luther
00:43:29.280 King,
00:43:29.660 and Nelson
00:43:29.980 Mandela.
00:43:31.040 It's just
00:43:31.700 another reason
00:43:32.200 I identify
00:43:32.800 as black,
00:43:34.000 because I'm
00:43:34.640 with two
00:43:35.580 out of three
00:43:35.920 awesome people
00:43:36.580 plus Mother
00:43:37.360 Teresa,
00:43:37.700 who is
00:43:38.600 on the
00:43:42.120 road to
00:43:42.440 sainthood.
00:43:43.920 So I
00:43:45.300 don't know,
00:43:45.780 I'm not
00:43:46.100 really nominated
00:43:46.840 for sainthood
00:43:47.560 yet,
00:43:48.520 but I don't
00:43:49.280 see any
00:43:49.620 reason it
00:43:50.020 was out of
00:43:50.340 my reach.
00:43:52.040 So that's
00:43:52.540 what I came
00:43:53.120 up with.
00:43:53.580 I'm an
00:43:53.840 advocate in
00:43:54.900 the model
00:43:55.820 of those
00:43:56.220 three people.
00:43:57.960 Christina
00:43:58.300 did the
00:43:58.700 same test,
00:43:59.740 and she
00:44:00.200 came out
00:44:00.740 that she
00:44:01.860 has the
00:44:02.160 same
00:44:02.360 personality
00:44:02.940 type that
00:44:03.860 movie bad
00:44:05.680 guys are
00:44:06.180 based on.
00:44:07.700 And she
00:44:09.240 is associated
00:44:09.860 with the
00:44:10.220 personality
00:44:10.640 type of
00:44:11.420 Vladimir
00:44:12.340 Putin.
00:44:16.120 All right,
00:44:17.100 moving on.
00:44:20.460 There's a
00:44:21.320 head of the
00:44:22.340 Social Security
00:44:23.180 Administration.
00:44:24.600 By the way,
00:44:25.120 I don't think
00:44:25.480 these personality
00:44:26.100 tests are
00:44:26.580 scientific,
00:44:27.280 so I'm
00:44:28.220 just joking.
00:44:28.660 the George
00:44:30.940 Costanza
00:44:31.460 strategy looks
00:44:32.620 like it's
00:44:33.000 going to
00:44:33.180 come into
00:44:33.540 play.
00:44:34.820 Do you
00:44:35.000 remember
00:44:35.180 George
00:44:35.520 Costanza
00:44:35.980 from
00:44:36.300 Seinfeld?
00:44:39.260 I guess he
00:44:41.800 quit his job
00:44:42.540 on Seinfeld
00:44:43.160 once,
00:44:43.820 and then
00:44:44.140 he quit his
00:44:45.120 job in the
00:44:45.640 fictional story.
00:44:47.100 And he
00:44:47.960 didn't want
00:44:48.400 to quit.
00:44:48.820 He changed
00:44:49.180 his mind,
00:44:49.640 so he just
00:44:49.980 went back
00:44:50.360 to work
00:44:50.760 and pretended
00:44:51.360 that he
00:44:51.820 had not
00:44:52.120 quit.
00:44:52.360 I'm looking
00:44:55.760 at some
00:44:56.100 funny pictures
00:44:56.740 going by
00:44:57.280 on the
00:44:57.840 locals chat.
00:45:00.280 So if
00:45:01.180 you're
00:45:01.360 chatting on
00:45:01.860 locals,
00:45:02.800 where this
00:45:03.540 live stream
00:45:04.040 is also
00:45:04.420 playing,
00:45:05.240 you can
00:45:05.780 include
00:45:06.740 photos and
00:45:07.860 videos and
00:45:08.400 stuff,
00:45:08.760 so I'm
00:45:09.100 watching those
00:45:09.600 go by.
00:45:11.340 Anyway,
00:45:11.940 the head of
00:45:12.220 the Social
00:45:12.540 Security
00:45:13.020 Administration,
00:45:13.880 this guy
00:45:14.180 Andrew
00:45:14.480 Saul,
00:45:15.400 Biden
00:45:15.960 fired him,
00:45:16.780 but he's
00:45:17.340 refusing to
00:45:18.360 leave his
00:45:18.680 job.
00:45:20.360 He's using
00:45:21.120 the George
00:45:21.600 Costanza
00:45:22.120 strategy.
00:45:23.720 You're
00:45:24.280 fired.
00:45:25.500 Am I?
00:45:26.900 No,
00:45:27.340 you're
00:45:27.500 fired.
00:45:27.960 You're
00:45:28.160 totally
00:45:28.440 fired.
00:45:29.700 Am I?
00:45:31.160 No,
00:45:31.820 really,
00:45:32.580 you're
00:45:32.880 fired.
00:45:33.740 Pack up
00:45:34.320 your stuff.
00:45:35.520 Pack up
00:45:36.020 my stuff.
00:45:37.180 I'm
00:45:37.460 working
00:45:37.820 remotely.
00:45:39.060 Okay,
00:45:39.560 well,
00:45:40.040 in like a
00:45:40.660 virtual sense,
00:45:41.900 pack up
00:45:42.320 your stuff
00:45:42.780 and get
00:45:43.440 out of
00:45:43.680 here.
00:45:43.900 You're
00:45:44.080 fired.
00:45:45.480 I'm
00:45:45.720 going to
00:45:45.880 log in
00:45:46.300 on Monday.
00:45:47.500 No,
00:45:47.900 you're
00:45:48.120 fired.
00:45:48.920 You
00:45:49.100 can't come
00:45:50.260 to work
00:45:50.640 anymore.
00:45:51.160 You're
00:45:51.380 fired.
00:45:52.120 Completely
00:45:52.700 gone.
00:45:53.440 You have
00:45:53.660 nothing to
00:45:54.160 do with
00:45:54.400 this agency
00:45:54.920 anymore.
00:45:56.400 See you
00:45:56.860 Monday.
00:45:59.160 Now,
00:45:59.820 I guess the
00:46:00.220 background of
00:46:00.760 the story is
00:46:01.420 that Trump
00:46:02.860 appointed this
00:46:03.680 person,
00:46:05.000 and I guess
00:46:05.800 he's protected
00:46:06.660 for the term
00:46:08.020 of his
00:46:08.400 appointment,
00:46:09.500 and he's
00:46:10.280 employing his
00:46:11.340 right to stay
00:46:11.880 on the job.
00:46:13.000 But seriously,
00:46:14.880 if the
00:46:15.580 President of
00:46:16.180 the United
00:46:16.600 States fires
00:46:18.100 you,
00:46:19.360 does it
00:46:21.020 matter if
00:46:21.500 your
00:46:21.640 contract or
00:46:22.680 the rules
00:46:23.280 said that
00:46:23.760 you don't
00:46:23.980 have to
00:46:24.300 go?
00:46:25.720 I mean,
00:46:27.480 maybe he's
00:46:28.640 good at
00:46:28.980 his job,
00:46:29.680 maybe he's
00:46:30.100 not.
00:46:30.960 Does that
00:46:31.500 matter?
00:46:32.760 If the
00:46:33.420 President of
00:46:34.020 the United
00:46:34.420 States says
00:46:36.080 you're fired,
00:46:37.420 even if the
00:46:38.740 President of
00:46:39.260 the United
00:46:39.640 States,
00:46:40.260 for some
00:46:40.920 weird reason,
00:46:42.020 doesn't have
00:46:42.700 that power to
00:46:43.460 fire you,
00:46:45.500 shouldn't you
00:46:46.000 leave?
00:46:47.140 I mean,
00:46:47.820 seriously.
00:46:49.300 I'm not the
00:46:50.060 person who's
00:46:50.520 going to
00:46:50.740 argue that
00:46:51.300 Trump-appointed
00:46:52.480 people all
00:46:53.080 need to get
00:46:53.500 fired, so I
00:46:54.760 don't know
00:46:55.020 anything about
00:46:55.580 how he does
00:46:56.080 his job,
00:46:56.600 but if the
00:46:57.940 President fires
00:46:58.740 you, maybe
00:47:00.980 leave.
00:47:02.080 Maybe the
00:47:02.880 right thing to
00:47:03.600 do is just
00:47:04.060 leave.
00:47:05.420 All right.
00:47:06.820 Even though
00:47:07.440 he doesn't
00:47:07.760 have to, I
00:47:08.240 guess.
00:47:11.620 I feel as
00:47:12.640 if this
00:47:13.880 story needs
00:47:14.760 to be part
00:47:15.320 of a
00:47:15.640 class
00:47:16.080 curriculum,
00:47:17.360 some of
00:47:17.880 you have
00:47:18.080 heard this
00:47:18.420 by now.
00:47:19.000 So, Mike
00:47:19.500 Cernovich,
00:47:20.860 independent
00:47:22.180 journalist,
00:47:22.940 author, and
00:47:23.440 filmmaker,
00:47:24.440 Mike Cernovich,
00:47:26.000 which is how
00:47:26.780 he's described
00:47:27.480 on publications
00:47:28.460 that like
00:47:29.080 him.
00:47:30.360 When a
00:47:31.060 publication
00:47:31.520 that doesn't
00:47:32.200 like him
00:47:32.600 describes him,
00:47:33.760 they do not
00:47:34.400 call him an
00:47:35.620 independent
00:47:36.080 journalist,
00:47:37.000 author, and
00:47:37.620 filmmaker,
00:47:38.540 although those
00:47:39.640 are the things
00:47:40.040 he is,
00:47:40.660 among other
00:47:41.240 things.
00:47:43.500 But he
00:47:44.280 did a,
00:47:44.720 I guess he
00:47:45.900 did some
00:47:46.440 investigation and
00:47:47.260 found out
00:47:47.620 there's a
00:47:48.000 link between
00:47:49.180 the far
00:47:50.060 left Southern
00:47:50.840 Poverty Law
00:47:51.780 Center, the
00:47:52.300 SPLC, a
00:47:53.880 group that
00:47:54.200 demonizes and
00:47:55.120 dehumanizes
00:47:56.120 conservatives.
00:47:56.920 Well,
00:47:57.160 according, I
00:47:57.620 think this was
00:47:58.100 in the,
00:47:59.420 where was it?
00:48:00.560 Some article I
00:48:01.540 read.
00:48:02.460 Anyway, he
00:48:03.860 wrote a report
00:48:04.400 and the title of
00:48:05.100 it is how a
00:48:05.820 convicted terrorist
00:48:06.760 used the
00:48:07.940 Southern Poverty
00:48:08.640 Law Center's
00:48:09.340 website to
00:48:10.080 identify targets.
00:48:11.120 So in other
00:48:12.360 words, somebody
00:48:12.940 looked at who
00:48:13.620 this SPLC
00:48:14.660 says is a
00:48:15.740 bad person
00:48:16.340 and decided to
00:48:17.740 go kill that
00:48:18.360 bad person
00:48:18.920 because the
00:48:19.900 SPLC called
00:48:20.780 them out.
00:48:21.740 Now, that
00:48:22.280 feels like an
00:48:24.060 article you want
00:48:24.760 to see,
00:48:25.100 doesn't it?
00:48:25.980 If you found
00:48:26.920 out that some
00:48:27.780 organization that
00:48:29.100 is supposed to
00:48:29.700 be protecting us
00:48:30.800 from bad
00:48:31.460 people, which
00:48:32.760 is the
00:48:33.580 alleged point
00:48:34.620 of the
00:48:34.940 SPLC,
00:48:36.220 to help,
00:48:37.720 they help the
00:48:38.940 social media
00:48:39.920 platforms decide
00:48:41.620 who should be
00:48:42.220 deplatformed or
00:48:44.040 de-boosted, I
00:48:45.700 guess.
00:48:46.720 And so that's
00:48:47.620 their job.
00:48:48.580 Their job is to
00:48:49.980 make sure that we
00:48:51.860 know who the
00:48:52.300 bad people are.
00:48:54.280 Turns out that
00:48:55.500 they helped a
00:48:55.980 bad person find
00:48:57.200 and try to kill
00:48:58.180 somebody.
00:49:00.180 So Cernovich
00:49:00.840 writes this report
00:49:02.340 and here's the
00:49:03.480 story that makes
00:49:04.740 it kind of
00:49:05.320 special.
00:49:06.980 Google erased
00:49:07.940 it.
00:49:08.940 If you do a
00:49:10.000 Google search
00:49:11.660 for the exact
00:49:13.020 title of his,
00:49:15.320 I assume it's
00:49:15.940 on a web page
00:49:16.540 now, called
00:49:18.140 How a Convicted
00:49:19.100 Terrorist Used
00:49:20.020 the Southern
00:49:20.460 Poverty Law
00:49:21.120 Center's website
00:49:21.840 to identify
00:49:22.580 targets, if you
00:49:24.160 put that full
00:49:24.960 search in there,
00:49:26.200 do you know
00:49:26.540 what comes up?
00:49:28.400 Wouldn't you
00:49:29.020 think that his
00:49:29.600 article would
00:49:30.180 come up?
00:49:31.900 Nope.
00:49:33.560 The SPLC
00:49:34.500 comes up.
00:49:36.080 A whole bunch
00:49:36.640 of SPLC stuff
00:49:38.020 that's not about
00:49:38.880 that article.
00:49:40.520 Now, suppose
00:49:41.340 you go to
00:49:41.780 DuckDuckGo
00:49:42.520 and put in
00:49:44.260 that same
00:49:44.920 search.
00:49:46.600 Where does
00:49:47.120 Mike Cernovich,
00:49:48.080 where does his
00:49:49.120 article come up
00:49:49.900 on DuckDuckGo?
00:49:52.180 First.
00:49:54.380 First.
00:49:55.680 Where it
00:49:56.320 should be.
00:49:57.100 Because there
00:49:57.860 is exactly one
00:49:59.040 thing on the
00:49:59.600 internet, only
00:50:00.320 one, that has
00:50:01.820 this title.
00:50:02.340 It's Mike
00:50:03.600 Cernovich's new
00:50:04.800 blockbuster, very
00:50:07.460 important report.
00:50:10.380 Doesn't exist on
00:50:11.660 Google.
00:50:12.940 Think about that.
00:50:14.740 Don't you believe
00:50:15.720 that children
00:50:16.900 should be taught
00:50:17.920 about media
00:50:19.080 brainwashing and
00:50:20.260 manipulation?
00:50:20.660 can you imagine
00:50:23.200 sending a child
00:50:24.520 into the world
00:50:25.300 who still
00:50:26.580 believes that
00:50:27.220 the news
00:50:27.960 is real?
00:50:30.800 That's a real
00:50:31.600 dangerous situation.
00:50:33.200 Do you want
00:50:33.600 to create a bunch
00:50:35.000 of new citizens,
00:50:36.120 the young people
00:50:36.720 coming up,
00:50:37.680 do you want
00:50:38.120 them to think
00:50:38.600 the news is
00:50:39.460 real?
00:50:40.680 That's really,
00:50:41.580 really dangerous.
00:50:42.900 And I think
00:50:43.320 this could be like
00:50:45.640 a case study
00:50:46.480 that high schoolers
00:50:47.920 could look at
00:50:48.760 and say,
00:50:49.380 look, here's an
00:50:49.880 example where
00:50:51.220 a story that
00:50:52.340 was important
00:50:52.960 and true,
00:50:53.920 by the way,
00:50:55.260 did anybody
00:50:55.840 challenge the
00:50:56.640 truth of it?
00:50:58.540 Not so far.
00:51:00.600 All right?
00:51:01.280 Did the SPLC
00:51:02.280 say, oh, the
00:51:03.720 facts in that
00:51:04.440 story are
00:51:05.060 incorrect?
00:51:07.180 I don't think
00:51:08.080 so.
00:51:09.080 It's not being
00:51:09.940 removed for being
00:51:10.760 untrue, and it
00:51:12.340 wasn't removed for
00:51:13.320 being, let's say,
00:51:15.280 violating any
00:51:15.980 kinds of terms
00:51:16.700 of service.
00:51:17.200 they just
00:51:18.660 didn't want it
00:51:19.260 there.
00:51:20.540 They just
00:51:20.920 didn't want it
00:51:22.180 there.
00:51:23.460 And that they
00:51:24.560 changed reality.
00:51:26.880 Right?
00:51:27.280 This needs to be
00:51:28.240 taught in schools.
00:51:29.840 Imagine a high
00:51:30.640 school student
00:51:31.240 thinking that
00:51:31.940 everything that
00:51:32.500 they're told on
00:51:33.140 CNN is true.
00:51:35.040 That would be
00:51:35.820 such a disabling
00:51:37.140 belief.
00:51:39.340 All right.
00:51:43.500 That is my
00:51:45.860 blockbuster.
00:51:47.200 Oh, I've got to
00:51:48.300 run.
00:51:48.760 I've got to
00:51:49.100 run right now.
00:51:50.140 Bye for now.
00:51:50.660 Bye for now.
