Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1503 Scott Adams： I Invented a New Word to Help You Debate Idiots and Children

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody.

00:00:02.240 Well, I'm so glad you could make it here.

00:00:04.520 And on time, too.

00:00:05.880 Wow.

00:00:07.320 Wow.

00:00:08.500 Now, I have heard that there's a little issue on YouTube

00:00:12.420 that sometimes the beginning of the show is covered with commercials,

00:00:17.540 and those commercials are obscuring the simultaneous sip.

00:00:22.460 And so, I'm thinking that today I should do a segment before I do the sip.

00:00:27.580 What do you think?

00:00:28.200 Yes. Yes, I think we'll try that.

00:00:30.980 I think we'll try something new.

00:00:32.720 Don't be afraid of change.

00:00:34.300 Don't be afraid of change.

00:00:36.920 We'll get to that in a moment.

00:00:39.320 Well, there's a sad story in the news about ex-professional NFL quarterback Colt Brennan,

00:00:47.500 who died of what is being called an accidental overdose with fentanyl.

00:00:53.800 Accidental overdose.

00:00:56.320 Hmm.

00:00:58.200 An accidental overdose.

00:00:59.800 So, here's what we know about fentanyl.

00:01:02.500 We know that China intentionally provides it to the cartels to provide to the United States

00:01:08.440 to kill tens of thousands of Americans every year, and they could stop it if they wanted to,

00:01:13.100 because they literally know the name and the address of the person who's sending the fentanyl to the United States.

00:01:19.180 We know they know the name and the address of who's doing it, because the United States gave it to them.

00:01:25.440 It was news.

00:01:26.500 Here's your guy.

00:01:28.040 Here's literally the guy who's sending us all the fentanyl and killing 30, whatever, 60,000 people a year,

00:01:34.720 whatever the number is now.

00:01:36.180 We know who it is.

00:01:37.540 We have his name and his picture.

00:01:39.580 You have his address.

00:01:40.580 They didn't pick him up, okay?

00:01:43.220 Now, is that an accident?

00:01:47.460 Did this quarterback die of a, quote, accidental overdose?

00:01:52.400 No, it's not an accident when somebody's trying to kill you and they succeed.

00:01:56.180 Let me give you an analogy, because I know analogies are so persuasive, right?

00:02:01.620 Oh, shut up. 0.99

00:02:02.460 I'm going to give you one anyway.

00:02:04.700 Remember the Las Vegas mass shooting?

00:02:07.660 The shooter was up in the window and just started spraying bullets at the crowd of people at the concert.

00:02:16.160 Now, some people were killed and some people were not.

00:02:19.440 Would you say that the people who were killed were killed by accident?

00:02:22.480 Were those accidental deaths?

00:02:26.180 Because nobody knew who would be killed, right?

00:02:29.480 When the guy started shooting, he wasn't shooting at anybody.

00:02:32.960 He was shooting at the crowd.

00:02:34.820 The fact that he actually killed some people in the crowd and did not kill others,

00:02:39.940 would you call that an accidental death then?

00:02:43.440 Because he didn't know he was going to kill somebody.

00:02:45.940 I mean, he didn't know the specific person he would kill.

00:02:49.060 So it's an accident, right?

00:02:50.300 No, you fucking idiots.

00:02:52.600 It's not an accident.

00:02:53.720 It's fucking murder.

00:02:55.060 It's murder.

00:02:56.260 It's murder.

00:02:57.140 If you spray bullets into a crowd and it happens to kill somebody, but you didn't know exactly who it would kill before you killed them,

00:03:04.700 it's fucking murder. 0.86

00:03:06.020 When China sends us a boatload of fentanyl, and it kills 30,000 to 50,000 Americans a year,

00:03:15.340 but they don't know which names in advance are going to die, that didn't make it an accident.

00:03:23.420 It's still fucking murder.

00:03:25.120 And when I see a tweet that calls the death by fentanyl overdose an accident, I'm offended.

00:03:37.500 Because it's not a fucking accident.

00:03:40.640 It's murder.

00:03:42.520 And if we don't treat it that way, well, we deserve what we get.

00:03:47.300 I mean, not the individuals who die from it.

00:03:50.720 They don't deserve it.

00:03:52.420 But as a country, if we're not going to defend ourselves from tens of thousands of murders every year,

00:04:00.700 well, we deserve what we fucking get. 0.58

00:04:03.340 And you deserve the government you got.

00:04:05.740 Trump didn't do shit about it.

00:04:08.100 Biden isn't doing shit about it.

00:04:11.020 Fuck them all.

00:04:11.820 Now, how would you like to do the simultaneous sip?

00:04:17.880 I probably shouldn't have started with that story.

00:04:21.960 But if you'd like to look things up, maybe put things on a little bit better pace,

00:04:27.760 well, what can you do?

00:04:29.400 Well, one thing you could do is grab yourself a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:04:32.460 a tank or a chalice or a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:04:36.580 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:04:38.820 I like coffee.

00:04:39.480 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine the other day,

00:04:42.760 the thing that makes everything better.

00:04:44.820 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:04:47.580 It's going to happen right now.

00:04:48.980 Go.

00:04:52.900 Ah, yeah.

00:04:57.700 China.

00:05:00.360 So the New York Times has this story that confirms what I think the BBC reported months ago,

00:05:07.660 that the Iranian, the head of the nuclear program in Iran,

00:05:13.620 was assassinated with a robot machine gun.

00:05:18.720 A robot machine gun with satellite control

00:05:24.180 and artificial intelligence for facial recognition.

00:05:30.020 That's right.

00:05:32.080 Somehow Israel, the Mossad, got a one-ton robot into Iran.

00:05:39.740 I guess they brought it in in pieces in different ways.

00:05:43.660 So they brought it in.

00:05:44.460 They assembled it.

00:05:45.180 They put it on, I think it was on the bed of a pickup truck.

00:05:48.160 And they parked that pickup truck approximately where they knew that the head of the nuclear program

00:05:54.400 would be going by.

00:05:55.260 But here's the problem.

00:05:58.380 They couldn't be sure that it would be that guy and maybe not his wife driving

00:06:04.920 or somebody else driving.

00:06:06.940 They wanted to minimize the number of casualties.

00:06:09.820 So they set up a second station where there would be a car that looked like it was changing a tire or something.

00:06:17.620 And they would have a camera in it, and they would get a read on the driver of the car

00:06:22.880 so they would know if their target was even in the car.

00:06:27.600 So the first thing that they set up just identifies the guy.

00:06:32.780 And then he gets to the place where the robot machine gun is,

00:06:37.060 and the robot machine gun opens fire.

00:06:39.580 But apparently I think the machine gun had facial recognition too

00:06:44.400 because it managed to kill the guy they were after without harming the wife.

00:06:51.340 Now, harm, of course, being a relative term, means she wasn't shot.

00:06:55.840 But if you watch your husband being killed right in front of you, you're obviously harmed.

00:07:00.840 But kind of amazing.

00:07:03.220 I mean, I don't know if that was luck or skill that nobody else got killed,

00:07:07.500 or at least the wife did. 0.98

00:07:09.540 But when we see that a robot machine gun is killing people using facial recognition,

00:07:16.840 what's next?

00:07:20.140 How many robots with facial recognition can you put out there

00:07:23.660 to start shooting people with their machine guns?

00:07:26.840 Yeah, it's similar to remote aerial drones,

00:07:28.980 except that you don't see the drone in the sky, which would be a tip-off.

00:07:33.520 I guess that's why they didn't use aerial drones

00:07:35.500 because the drone is big enough.

00:07:38.080 I think the story was that a drone that was big enough

00:07:42.360 to penetrate Iranian space would also be too big,

00:07:46.420 and the Iranians would see it and shoot it down. 0.96

00:07:49.460 And apparently they can do that.

00:07:51.020 I guess Iran has the ability to shoot down drones fairly effectively.

00:07:56.060 Well, Joe Biden tweeted this.

00:07:58.060 He said,

00:07:58.460 big corporations and the super wealthy

00:08:01.240 have to start paying their fair share of taxes.

00:08:05.380 It's long overdue.

00:08:07.740 He says,

00:08:08.460 I'm not out to punish anyone.

00:08:10.140 All I'm asking is that you pay your fair share,

00:08:13.100 just like middle-class folks do.

00:08:15.020 So, what have I told you about the word fair?

00:08:23.160 Fair.

00:08:24.300 Fair is a word that was developed for one purpose,

00:08:27.900 to allow idiots and children to debate. 0.72

00:08:32.160 Because if you're an idiot or you're a child,

00:08:34.740 you may not have reasons and data to support your argument,

00:08:38.540 so instead you just say it isn't fair,

00:08:40.800 and it must be fair.

00:08:41.680 Do you know why it must be fair?

00:08:44.540 Because it's not fair.

00:08:46.240 But why is it not fair?

00:08:49.380 Well, it's not.

00:08:51.000 It's just not fair.

00:08:52.660 And it must be fair.

00:08:54.700 This is what I call word thinking.

00:08:58.300 Meaning that if you don't have reasons,

00:09:00.360 or you can't express them,

00:09:01.420 or you don't want to,

00:09:02.620 you try to get away with defining a word

00:09:05.720 in a way that it sounds like the word is the argument.

00:09:09.600 But words are not arguments.

00:09:12.600 Words are just things we gave definitions to.

00:09:15.280 They're not arguments at all.

00:09:17.240 But yet our dumb little brains

00:09:18.640 often think those words are arguments.

00:09:22.020 And it works.

00:09:24.160 That's the weird thing.

00:09:25.900 Making a word that just substitutes

00:09:28.640 for a rational argument actually works.

00:09:32.440 And so I thought,

00:09:33.500 how do you debate somebody

00:09:35.000 who just says something isn't fair,

00:09:36.820 and then you go,

00:09:38.920 um, I don't know what to say about that.

00:09:42.300 Because it's a little bit subjective, isn't it?

00:09:45.280 Are your taxes fair

00:09:46.880 if the rich people pay the most dollar amount?

00:09:50.920 Or do they also have to pay the greatest percentage?

00:09:56.140 Why is one fair and the other one isn't?

00:09:59.300 I don't know.

00:10:00.080 There's no reason.

00:10:01.320 We just decide things are fair or not fair

00:10:03.760 and we complain about it.

00:10:06.020 So I thought,

00:10:07.480 since the word fair

00:10:08.540 introduces an irrational form of debate,

00:10:12.680 how can you counter an irrational form of debate?

00:10:16.040 Well, well, you came to the right place.

00:10:19.300 What you need is a new word.

00:10:22.500 Something that would counter the word fair.

00:10:26.040 And that you could just drop it in there

00:10:28.540 and just walk away.

00:10:30.040 Because you don't need a rational argument

00:10:32.140 because you're not debating a rational argument.

00:10:34.900 You're debating a word.

00:10:37.840 Which is crazy.

00:10:40.020 So, I came up with a new word.

00:10:43.100 I don't think it's being used.

00:10:45.540 If anybody's already using this word for something else,

00:10:48.180 let me know.

00:10:48.780 And the word is called

00:10:51.440 glerpen.

00:10:55.520 Glerpen.

00:10:58.560 So the word is glerpen.

00:11:00.900 And here's the definition I've given it.

00:11:03.200 The definition of glerpen is

00:11:04.600 a situation in which different outcomes

00:11:06.660 is better for all.

00:11:09.880 Let me give you an example of a glerpen.

00:11:13.920 How many of you can play basketball

00:11:16.100 as well as Stephen Curry?

00:11:19.440 Anybody?

00:11:20.700 Anybody?

00:11:21.640 Probably nobody.

00:11:23.020 I'll bet nobody here can play basketball

00:11:25.420 as well as Stephen Curry.

00:11:27.480 Is that fair?

00:11:29.620 No.

00:11:30.880 That's not fair.

00:11:32.460 Why is it he can play basketball great?

00:11:35.020 And I can't.

00:11:35.720 I wasn't born that way.

00:11:36.740 I don't have these opportunities.

00:11:38.400 That's not fair.

00:11:41.520 But,

00:11:42.440 is it bad for me?

00:11:43.920 Am I worse off

00:11:46.120 because Stephen Curry

00:11:47.600 is a better basketball player

00:11:48.800 than I am?

00:11:49.920 Not really.

00:11:51.180 Because he wins

00:11:52.160 because he gets to play basketball

00:11:53.520 and have a good life.

00:11:54.540 Gets paid.

00:11:55.380 And I get to watch him.

00:11:57.100 And it's entertaining.

00:11:58.080 So am I worse off

00:12:00.560 because of this unfairness

00:12:02.740 or am I better off?

00:12:04.520 Well,

00:12:05.000 I'm actually better off

00:12:06.100 because I would like to watch him.

00:12:08.360 He likes to play.

00:12:10.040 We both win.

00:12:11.180 It's a perfect glerpen opportunity.

00:12:13.280 Now,

00:12:15.240 you always look for your glerpins

00:12:17.340 wherever you've got

00:12:19.580 some kind of unfairness,

00:12:22.220 but it's better than

00:12:23.500 not having the unfairness.

00:12:24.780 For example,

00:12:26.520 suppose you raised taxes

00:12:28.920 on corporations

00:12:29.960 and you raised them

00:12:32.140 to the point

00:12:32.560 where those corporations

00:12:33.480 were no longer competitive

00:12:34.980 in the international market.

00:12:37.540 Would that be more fair?

00:12:40.120 Well, perhaps.

00:12:40.820 It would perhaps be

00:12:42.600 a little more fair

00:12:43.440 the way people define it.

00:12:45.800 But it would also be

00:12:47.520 a little glerpen.

00:12:49.380 Wouldn't it?

00:12:50.900 Anti-glerpen,

00:12:51.760 I would think.

00:12:52.700 Anti-glerpen.

00:12:53.880 Because a glerpen situation

00:12:55.240 would be where

00:12:56.200 it's unfair,

00:12:57.380 but you're better off.

00:12:59.320 So maybe it's unfair

00:13:00.280 that corporations

00:13:01.500 pay smaller taxes.

00:13:04.040 But if it makes

00:13:05.480 all of us richer

00:13:06.340 because those profits

00:13:09.620 from corporations

00:13:10.480 flow into the public

00:13:12.320 directly and indirectly,

00:13:14.860 well, that's a glerpen.

00:13:16.540 So the next time

00:13:17.340 you get into a conversation

00:13:18.500 where somebody says,

00:13:20.080 you need to pay more taxes

00:13:21.300 to make it fair,

00:13:24.180 here's your response.

00:13:25.840 I see what you're saying

00:13:27.480 about the fairness,

00:13:28.940 but have you considered

00:13:29.940 the glerpen?

00:13:31.640 Because this is one

00:13:33.260 of those situations

00:13:33.940 where the glerpen

00:13:34.780 works in your favor.

00:13:35.600 And then just walk away.

00:13:39.580 And if somebody says,

00:13:40.340 hold on,

00:13:40.760 what's a glerpen?

00:13:41.940 I go, oh, a glerpen?

00:13:43.120 A glerpen is one 1.00

00:13:43.900 of those situations

00:13:44.560 in which outcomes

00:13:46.220 are different,

00:13:46.940 but you're better off

00:13:47.720 because of it.

00:13:49.340 It's a glerpen.

00:13:52.980 Take that to the bank.

00:13:54.120 I love it when people

00:14:02.920 in the news business

00:14:04.200 fight each other.

00:14:05.480 I love it when Fox News

00:14:06.780 goes after CNN

00:14:08.100 and vice versa.

00:14:10.180 And I'm loving this story

00:14:12.260 about Politico

00:14:13.220 screwing Jennifer Rubin 0.81

00:14:15.800 hard.

00:14:16.960 So Politico

00:14:20.040 was doing

00:14:20.560 a hit piece

00:14:21.960 on Jennifer Rubin

00:14:23.000 basically saying

00:14:25.020 she was tough

00:14:26.080 on Obama

00:14:27.040 and tough

00:14:28.060 on Biden

00:14:28.520 at one point,

00:14:29.320 but now she's 0.96

00:14:30.040 loving Biden,

00:14:31.120 I guess.

00:14:31.600 She's pro-Biden.

00:14:33.380 And they're

00:14:34.240 kind of making

00:14:35.460 the point

00:14:35.880 that she's

00:14:37.880 not a credible

00:14:38.840 pundit,

00:14:40.240 but rather

00:14:40.620 goes where

00:14:42.820 the forces

00:14:43.580 are,

00:14:44.680 let's say,

00:14:46.180 nudging her.

00:14:47.660 And

00:14:47.980 Jennifer Rubin

00:14:50.200 responded in an email

00:14:51.280 which she said

00:14:52.600 was off the record.

00:14:54.020 Off the record.

00:14:54.980 But Politico

00:14:55.560 published it anyway.

00:14:56.640 I'll tell you why

00:14:57.200 in a moment.

00:14:58.220 In which she claimed

00:14:59.120 it was misogyny

00:15:00.420 and sexism 0.85

00:15:01.160 that she was

00:15:02.060 being singled out

00:15:02.820 because she was

00:15:03.280 a prominent woman.

00:15:05.120 And so the reason

00:15:05.760 Politico was going

00:15:06.720 after Jennifer Rubin,

00:15:08.080 says Jennifer Rubin,

00:15:09.500 is because of

00:15:10.540 her vagina. 1.00

00:15:11.980 Because of her vagina 1.00

00:15:13.180 and breasts

00:15:14.820 and possibly womb

00:15:16.940 maybe uterus. 1.00

00:15:18.220 But the reasons

00:15:20.620 that they went

00:15:21.060 after Jennifer Rubin

00:15:21.940 and not a man

00:15:22.880 is because,

00:15:25.060 obviously,

00:15:26.040 men have penises. 0.95

00:15:27.800 Women have vaginas. 1.00

00:15:28.820 And so,

00:15:29.620 logically,

00:15:30.520 QED,

00:15:31.620 ipso facto,

00:15:32.980 there you go.

00:15:34.900 Perfectly reasonable

00:15:36.080 response

00:15:36.820 when somebody

00:15:37.960 criticizes

00:15:39.220 your public

00:15:40.200 professional

00:15:41.000 record

00:15:41.980 to claim

00:15:43.100 it's because

00:15:43.660 of your vagina. 1.00

00:15:45.940 That's what I do.

00:15:47.260 Anybody

00:15:47.580 criticizes me,

00:15:48.700 I'm like,

00:15:49.300 ho, 0.99

00:15:49.520 ho, 0.99

00:15:49.780 ho, 0.99

00:15:50.360 wait a minute.

00:15:51.680 I hear your

00:15:52.580 criticisms

00:15:53.100 and an objective

00:15:54.780 person might even

00:15:55.660 say that they're

00:15:56.260 valid,

00:15:56.760 but I think the

00:15:57.420 reason you're

00:15:57.960 doing it

00:15:58.420 is because

00:15:59.720 of my scrotum.

00:16:01.920 That's what I say

00:16:02.700 to everybody.

00:16:03.460 I go,

00:16:03.920 ho, 0.99

00:16:04.220 ho, 0.99

00:16:04.360 ho, 0.99

00:16:04.600 ho, 0.99

00:16:04.660 I see you

00:16:06.240 calling me

00:16:06.800 bald,

00:16:07.940 but would you

00:16:08.960 call me bald

00:16:09.680 if I didn't

00:16:10.280 have a scrotum?

00:16:12.060 I don't think

00:16:13.060 so.

00:16:14.060 I think this is

00:16:15.100 scrotum-related

00:16:16.980 discrimination.

00:16:18.860 But anyway,

00:16:19.560 that was Jennifer

00:16:20.060 Rubin's take.

00:16:20.760 It was all

00:16:21.120 about her

00:16:21.560 vagina. 1.00

00:16:23.440 And Politico,

00:16:26.060 despite the fact

00:16:27.100 that Jennifer

00:16:27.900 Rubin said

00:16:28.860 her email

00:16:29.520 was off

00:16:30.300 the record,

00:16:32.320 Politico

00:16:32.900 published it

00:16:34.500 in full.

00:16:36.300 What do you

00:16:36.900 think of that?

00:16:37.800 Well, Politico's

00:16:38.620 excuse was

00:16:39.440 that that's not

00:16:40.740 how off the

00:16:41.460 record works.

00:16:42.940 And they would

00:16:43.380 know.

00:16:43.820 They're in the

00:16:44.160 business, right?

00:16:45.380 Off the record

00:16:46.080 works like this.

00:16:47.840 I'd like to say

00:16:48.660 something off the

00:16:49.400 record.

00:16:49.960 Do you agree?

00:16:51.640 Yes, I agree

00:16:52.560 to keep this

00:16:53.240 off the record.

00:16:54.500 Okay, here's

00:16:55.340 what I was going

00:16:55.840 to say off the

00:16:56.600 record.

00:16:57.700 And then,

00:16:58.700 if it's an

00:16:59.700 ethical entity

00:17:01.300 that has agreed,

00:17:02.840 they do not

00:17:03.500 print that.

00:17:04.500 Here's how

00:17:05.360 off the record

00:17:06.080 does not

00:17:07.180 work.

00:17:08.300 This is off

00:17:09.080 the record.

00:17:09.800 And then they

00:17:10.160 just tell you

00:17:10.620 what they're

00:17:10.900 going to say.

00:17:12.480 That's not

00:17:13.060 off the record.

00:17:14.380 That's on

00:17:14.940 the record.

00:17:16.280 Because the

00:17:16.900 other entity

00:17:17.440 didn't agree

00:17:17.960 to it.

00:17:19.340 Had they

00:17:19.820 agreed, it

00:17:20.420 would be

00:17:20.680 off the

00:17:21.600 record.

00:17:21.980 But if

00:17:22.280 they don't

00:17:22.580 agree, and

00:17:24.080 they're not

00:17:24.380 even given

00:17:24.820 a chance

00:17:25.300 to agree,

00:17:25.900 because she

00:17:26.320 sent the

00:17:26.720 email at

00:17:27.900 the same

00:17:28.220 time as

00:17:28.740 this is

00:17:29.820 off the

00:17:30.100 record,

00:17:30.300 apparently

00:17:31.880 they feel

00:17:33.420 they have

00:17:33.820 the ethical,

00:17:34.680 let's say,

00:17:37.920 flexibility to

00:17:38.820 print it in

00:17:39.420 full.

00:17:41.040 Well, let me

00:17:41.700 give you my

00:17:42.240 opinion on

00:17:42.900 this.

00:17:44.100 Yes.

00:17:45.380 Yes, they

00:17:46.040 have a point.

00:17:47.380 Jennifer Rubin

00:17:48.100 does know how

00:17:48.920 off the record

00:17:49.560 works, of

00:17:50.300 course, because

00:17:50.980 she's in the

00:17:51.440 business.

00:17:52.640 Politico also

00:17:53.540 knows how

00:17:54.160 off the record

00:17:54.800 works, because

00:17:55.760 they're in the

00:17:56.100 business.

00:17:56.440 And they

00:17:58.300 applied what

00:18:00.060 they know

00:18:00.440 correctly.

00:18:01.860 It was

00:18:02.560 correct and

00:18:03.980 accurate that

00:18:05.320 this was not

00:18:06.080 off the record,

00:18:06.880 and therefore

00:18:07.280 they did

00:18:07.780 have, let's

00:18:09.620 say, a

00:18:10.520 right to

00:18:12.080 publish it.

00:18:13.940 Do you

00:18:14.460 know what

00:18:14.740 else it

00:18:15.080 was?

00:18:16.340 Really

00:18:16.980 messed up.

00:18:18.820 Really

00:18:19.180 messed up.

00:18:20.360 Really

00:18:20.700 unethical.

00:18:23.120 Really

00:18:23.460 unethical.

00:18:25.140 Super,

00:18:25.740 super

00:18:26.240 unethical.

00:18:27.860 Politico,

00:18:29.240 while you

00:18:29.820 are technically

00:18:31.240 within your

00:18:32.000 right, that

00:18:33.600 is a really

00:18:34.600 fucked up

00:18:35.280 thing to

00:18:35.680 do.

00:18:36.700 Really

00:18:37.040 fucked up. 0.93

00:18:37.880 In fact,

00:18:38.460 it's so

00:18:38.800 fucked up

00:18:39.340 that nobody

00:18:40.560 should ever

00:18:41.180 give them a

00:18:41.800 quote again

00:18:42.420 or an

00:18:42.820 interview.

00:18:45.620 See, that's

00:18:46.200 the cost.

00:18:47.820 These things

00:18:48.300 have a

00:18:48.620 price.

00:18:50.280 The price

00:18:51.140 of violating

00:18:52.700 somebody's

00:18:53.480 preference for

00:18:54.280 being off the

00:18:55.000 record,

00:18:55.340 even if

00:18:56.200 they didn't

00:18:56.600 do it

00:18:56.960 right, the

00:18:58.500 preference was

00:18:59.340 expressed.

00:19:01.700 And if

00:19:02.000 you're going

00:19:02.240 to violate

00:19:02.660 that preference

00:19:03.640 for being

00:19:04.240 off the

00:19:04.640 record on

00:19:05.760 a technicality,

00:19:07.680 nobody should

00:19:08.240 ever do an

00:19:08.780 interview again.

00:19:09.360 In fact, I'd

00:19:10.880 like to support

00:19:11.840 Jennifer Rubin.

00:19:13.860 Now, I've

00:19:14.260 not been a

00:19:14.880 Jennifer Rubin

00:19:15.560 supporter in

00:19:17.440 the past on

00:19:18.520 political stuff.

00:19:20.080 Nothing

00:19:20.440 personal, just

00:19:21.220 political stuff.

00:19:21.980 But I'm

00:19:23.100 going to

00:19:23.260 support her

00:19:23.640 now.

00:19:25.040 And in

00:19:25.540 support of

00:19:26.040 Jennifer Rubin,

00:19:26.740 if Politico

00:19:27.460 ever asked me

00:19:28.400 for an

00:19:28.880 interview, I'm

00:19:29.340 not going to

00:19:29.640 give it to

00:19:29.940 them.

00:19:30.960 No quotes

00:19:31.960 for Politico.

00:19:34.180 They have

00:19:34.800 crossed the

00:19:36.180 line.

00:19:37.740 They crossed

00:19:38.600 the line.

00:19:40.020 Completely

00:19:40.700 within their

00:19:41.920 ethical

00:19:42.360 boundaries,

00:19:43.540 meaning that

00:19:44.200 the standard

00:19:45.000 for off the

00:19:47.560 record is

00:19:49.300 very clear

00:19:50.080 and they

00:19:51.080 followed the

00:19:51.680 standard and

00:19:52.920 they found a

00:19:53.480 way around it

00:19:54.120 and they

00:19:54.480 published it.

00:19:55.620 But it's a

00:19:57.660 fucked up thing 0.99

00:19:58.400 to do.

00:19:59.880 It's a

00:20:00.360 fucked up

00:20:00.940 thing to do.

00:20:02.660 I hear

00:20:03.220 somebody in

00:20:03.700 the comments

00:20:04.340 saying she

00:20:04.820 deserved it,

00:20:05.700 blah, blah,

00:20:05.900 blah.

00:20:06.220 No, that's

00:20:06.760 irrelevant.

00:20:08.040 Doesn't matter

00:20:08.660 that she

00:20:09.000 deserved it

00:20:09.880 and I don't

00:20:10.640 think that's

00:20:11.040 even a thing.

00:20:11.860 Nobody

00:20:12.060 deserves

00:20:12.600 anything.

00:20:14.080 So,

00:20:14.640 Politico,

00:20:15.020 here's your

00:20:15.420 pushback.

00:20:17.260 And I would

00:20:17.780 encourage anybody

00:20:18.640 to not ever

00:20:22.720 do an

00:20:23.000 interview again

00:20:23.600 with an

00:20:24.000 entity that

00:20:24.540 would do

00:20:24.800 this.

00:20:25.720 Not only

00:20:26.240 did they

00:20:26.540 do it,

00:20:27.620 they're

00:20:27.860 bragging

00:20:28.160 about it.

00:20:29.420 They're

00:20:29.660 doing it

00:20:29.940 right in

00:20:30.180 front of

00:20:30.440 you.

00:20:31.900 Do not

00:20:32.560 do business

00:20:33.260 with Politico

00:20:34.020 and I don't

00:20:35.300 care what

00:20:35.700 you think

00:20:36.080 of Jennifer

00:20:36.560 Rubin,

00:20:37.440 pro or

00:20:37.900 con,

00:20:38.660 if they

00:20:39.300 can do

00:20:39.600 that to

00:20:39.980 her,

00:20:40.480 they can

00:20:40.920 do it

00:20:41.260 to you.

00:20:42.520 And if

00:20:42.800 they're going

00:20:43.060 to find

00:20:43.520 a technicality

00:20:45.320 to fuck

00:20:46.440 you,

00:20:46.740 well,

00:20:49.740 then they've

00:20:50.680 lost their

00:20:51.820 moral authority

00:20:53.700 to be in

00:20:54.140 this business,

00:20:54.820 really,

00:20:55.840 even though

00:20:56.340 they're

00:20:56.520 technically

00:20:56.920 correct.

00:20:59.080 People who

00:20:59.640 have no

00:20:59.940 sense of

00:21:00.280 humor are

00:21:00.680 not aware

00:21:01.120 of it.

00:21:02.820 And that

00:21:03.280 explains a lot

00:21:03.960 of what you

00:21:04.320 see in the

00:21:04.700 world.

00:21:06.380 People who

00:21:07.080 have no

00:21:07.560 sense of

00:21:08.060 humor don't

00:21:09.780 know it.

00:21:10.960 If you ever

00:21:11.420 watched American

00:21:12.360 Idol back in

00:21:13.960 the early days

00:21:14.720 of the

00:21:14.960 show,

00:21:15.360 I don't

00:21:16.400 know if

00:21:16.640 they do

00:21:16.860 it anymore,

00:21:17.560 but they

00:21:17.840 would show

00:21:18.100 the people

00:21:18.500 who were

00:21:18.980 auditioning,

00:21:21.100 and a

00:21:21.880 number of

00:21:22.240 those people

00:21:22.660 auditioning

00:21:23.200 didn't know

00:21:24.020 that they

00:21:25.040 couldn't sing,

00:21:25.960 and that they

00:21:27.020 weren't any

00:21:27.440 good at all.

00:21:28.800 Now,

00:21:29.200 that's unusual.

00:21:30.920 Most people

00:21:31.520 know if they

00:21:32.680 have a skill.

00:21:34.640 Usually,

00:21:35.240 they know if

00:21:35.680 they have a

00:21:35.980 skill.

00:21:37.080 I know,

00:21:37.860 for example,

00:21:38.380 that I don't

00:21:39.080 appreciate opera,

00:21:40.820 but I don't

00:21:41.920 think opera is

00:21:42.680 broken.

00:21:43.040 I just

00:21:44.180 think I

00:21:44.520 don't

00:21:45.180 appreciate it.

00:21:47.960 I don't

00:21:48.620 appreciate fine

00:21:49.520 wine,

00:21:50.980 but I

00:21:51.740 understand it's

00:21:52.700 a thing,

00:21:53.380 and people do

00:21:54.080 appreciate it,

00:21:54.840 and they like

00:21:55.340 it,

00:21:55.680 so I don't

00:21:56.220 think there's

00:21:56.560 something wrong

00:21:56.980 with wine.

00:21:58.200 I just

00:21:58.600 think there's

00:21:59.000 something wrong

00:21:59.380 with me.

00:22:01.420 But people

00:22:02.080 who don't have

00:22:02.600 a sense of

00:22:03.060 humor,

00:22:04.120 they actually

00:22:04.880 don't know

00:22:05.600 that they

00:22:06.520 don't have

00:22:06.940 one,

00:22:07.500 and so they

00:22:08.620 think the

00:22:08.980 problem is

00:22:09.380 with you,

00:22:10.840 right?

00:22:11.660 The people

00:22:12.520 with no

00:22:12.880 sense of

00:22:13.280 humor,

00:22:13.860 they think

00:22:14.960 the problem

00:22:15.360 is on

00:22:15.600 your end,

00:22:16.580 and that's

00:22:17.240 different than

00:22:17.920 other lack

00:22:19.800 of skill.

00:22:21.740 If somebody

00:22:22.660 doesn't

00:22:25.380 appreciate music

00:22:26.760 or something,

00:22:27.360 they don't

00:22:27.800 think the

00:22:28.100 problem is

00:22:28.380 on your

00:22:28.660 end.

00:22:30.620 All right,

00:22:31.140 so just keep

00:22:31.680 that in mind,

00:22:32.340 and I think

00:22:33.840 something like

00:22:34.700 a third of

00:22:35.240 the public

00:22:35.600 literally

00:22:36.160 doesn't have

00:22:36.720 a sense

00:22:37.040 of humor,

00:22:37.380 and you

00:22:39.580 need to

00:22:39.900 stay away

00:22:40.260 from those

00:22:40.620 people if

00:22:41.100 you want

00:22:41.320 to have

00:22:41.460 a good

00:22:41.680 time.

00:22:43.120 All right,

00:22:43.680 so there's

00:22:43.980 a big

00:22:44.220 dust-up

00:22:44.700 with France

00:22:45.280 and the

00:22:45.540 United States,

00:22:47.080 and it

00:22:47.700 looks like,

00:22:48.400 so here's

00:22:49.020 the deal.

00:22:49.920 I guess

00:22:50.320 France had 0.75

00:22:50.920 this deal

00:22:51.540 they'd been

00:22:51.940 negotiating

00:22:52.340 for years

00:22:52.960 to sell

00:22:53.640 a dozen

00:22:54.260 non-nuclear

00:22:57.220 submarines

00:22:57.940 to Australia.

00:22:59.800 But the

00:23:00.540 United States

00:23:01.180 got in

00:23:01.740 their business

00:23:02.260 and said,

00:23:02.920 hey,

00:23:03.440 China's a 1.00

00:23:04.040 big threat,

00:23:05.220 why don't

00:23:05.600 we sell

00:23:06.060 you some

00:23:06.580 nuclear

00:23:07.140 submarines?

00:23:08.400 We'll get

00:23:08.800 you some

00:23:09.100 good shit.

00:23:10.020 None of

00:23:10.320 this non-nuclear

00:23:11.660 submarines

00:23:12.240 for you.

00:23:13.460 Australia,

00:23:14.860 you're our

00:23:15.480 good friends,

00:23:16.160 we're going

00:23:16.420 to give you

00:23:16.800 some nuclear

00:23:18.160 submarines,

00:23:19.200 so that

00:23:19.940 China will 0.99

00:23:20.420 be on

00:23:20.840 notice that

00:23:22.080 the other

00:23:23.620 team has

00:23:24.080 some good

00:23:24.400 stuff in

00:23:25.160 their region.

00:23:27.040 And France

00:23:28.000 thought this

00:23:28.940 was a

00:23:29.680 crappy deal,

00:23:30.980 and even

00:23:31.260 though I

00:23:31.760 guess we

00:23:32.120 claim there's

00:23:32.640 some technicality

00:23:34.020 in the

00:23:34.280 contract that

00:23:35.360 France and

00:23:36.300 Australia had

00:23:37.040 for those

00:23:37.460 submarines.

00:23:38.720 Apparently

00:23:39.100 there wasn't

00:23:39.660 a clause that

00:23:41.060 allowed Australia

00:23:42.080 to cancel the

00:23:42.880 deal.

00:23:43.660 I don't know

00:23:44.080 what it was,

00:23:44.720 or if other

00:23:45.560 people would

00:23:45.960 agree it was

00:23:46.440 valid, but

00:23:46.940 they did.

00:23:49.080 France got 0.81

00:23:49.800 all mad and

00:23:50.520 recalled their

00:23:51.300 ambassadors for

00:23:54.100 a consultation,

00:23:55.120 just to sort

00:23:55.720 of make a

00:23:56.240 point and

00:23:56.680 stamp their

00:23:57.080 feet and

00:23:57.600 complain about

00:23:58.700 it.

00:23:59.140 I guess it's

00:23:59.640 a pretty big

00:24:00.100 dollar amount,

00:24:00.820 like, I

00:24:01.040 don't know,

00:24:01.360 $65 billion

00:24:02.280 or some

00:24:03.140 big number

00:24:03.600 in the

00:24:04.420 billions.

00:24:05.960 And I

00:24:07.460 think that

00:24:08.240 the mechanism

00:24:10.760 for this was

00:24:11.400 started during

00:24:12.140 the Trump

00:24:13.060 administration,

00:24:14.220 if I'm

00:24:14.460 right.

00:24:14.700 Now,

00:24:17.420 yeah,

00:24:22.220 Biden's,

00:24:22.880 I'm reading

00:24:23.300 the comments,

00:24:24.220 Biden is

00:24:24.800 literally who

00:24:25.580 Democrats

00:24:26.160 claimed Trump

00:24:27.140 was.

00:24:27.580 doesn't

00:24:29.420 this sound

00:24:29.800 like a

00:24:30.140 Trump thing?

00:24:31.740 To get

00:24:32.540 into somebody's

00:24:33.240 deal and

00:24:33.860 cancel it and

00:24:34.620 negotiate some

00:24:35.320 for yourself and

00:24:36.180 come out ahead?

00:24:37.400 Because the

00:24:38.040 U.S.

00:24:38.300 comes out ahead

00:24:38.860 on this.

00:24:40.200 Yeah,

00:24:40.980 it sounded

00:24:41.380 very much like

00:24:42.140 a Trump deal,

00:24:42.960 and apparently

00:24:43.300 he got it

00:24:43.800 going and

00:24:44.420 Biden liked

00:24:45.160 it enough

00:24:45.600 that he

00:24:45.920 kept going

00:24:46.380 with it.

00:24:47.180 And I

00:24:47.760 would compliment

00:24:49.200 both presidents.

00:24:51.400 This is

00:24:52.060 very America

00:24:52.760 first.

00:24:55.600 I don't

00:24:56.200 know,

00:24:56.380 when was

00:24:56.680 the last

00:24:57.000 time you

00:24:57.420 saw anybody

00:24:58.220 do anything

00:24:58.920 that's as

00:24:59.680 America first 0.69

00:25:00.600 as this?

00:25:02.140 And Biden

00:25:03.240 did it,

00:25:03.960 right?

00:25:05.200 Now,

00:25:06.800 you know,

00:25:07.320 I have

00:25:07.960 viciously

00:25:09.040 criticized

00:25:10.120 Biden for

00:25:10.980 his dementia

00:25:11.860 and lots

00:25:12.640 of other

00:25:12.940 stuff,

00:25:13.880 being,

00:25:14.280 you know,

00:25:14.880 being a

00:25:15.280 liar,

00:25:16.140 plenty of

00:25:16.600 stuff.

00:25:17.360 But when

00:25:17.860 he does

00:25:18.160 stuff I

00:25:18.560 like,

00:25:19.300 I'm going

00:25:19.680 to call

00:25:20.000 it out.

00:25:20.880 And I

00:25:21.080 hope you

00:25:21.320 don't mind

00:25:21.680 that.

00:25:22.060 I hope

00:25:22.280 you can

00:25:22.520 hang with

00:25:22.860 that.

00:25:23.600 Because I

00:25:24.080 just think

00:25:24.660 it's more

00:25:24.980 credible if

00:25:25.680 you,

00:25:25.780 if you

00:25:26.900 can't

00:25:27.240 compliment

00:25:27.660 the people

00:25:28.400 you're

00:25:28.660 criticizing,

00:25:30.200 you just

00:25:30.660 don't have

00:25:30.980 any credibility

00:25:31.520 at all.

00:25:33.180 So I

00:25:34.040 would say

00:25:34.520 France doesn't 0.98

00:25:35.600 like it,

00:25:36.160 but we're

00:25:36.440 not going

00:25:36.720 to lose

00:25:37.020 France as

00:25:37.580 an ally

00:25:37.980 in the long

00:25:38.460 run.

00:25:39.080 It's good

00:25:39.700 for our

00:25:40.080 national security,

00:25:41.080 and that's

00:25:41.320 the end

00:25:41.560 of the

00:25:41.780 conversation.

00:25:43.400 It's good

00:25:44.080 for the

00:25:44.500 United States

00:25:45.160 national security,

00:25:46.520 and we're

00:25:47.260 done here.

00:25:48.740 Yeah,

00:25:49.080 France is

00:25:49.500 mad.

00:25:51.320 It doesn't

00:25:51.940 matter.

00:25:52.240 It's good

00:25:53.680 for our

00:25:53.960 national

00:25:54.260 security in

00:25:55.080 the long

00:25:55.400 run.

00:25:57.220 All right,

00:25:57.840 I said

00:25:58.400 something

00:25:58.660 controversial

00:25:59.240 here.

00:25:59.760 Those of

00:26:00.220 you asking

00:26:00.640 for the

00:26:01.020 SIP,

00:26:01.300 you already

00:26:01.680 missed it.

00:26:04.360 I predicted

00:26:05.240 that wherever

00:26:06.460 artificial

00:26:07.540 intelligence has

00:26:08.980 the most

00:26:09.420 penetration,

00:26:11.780 he said

00:26:12.880 penetration,

00:26:14.420 wherever has

00:26:15.120 the most

00:26:15.400 penetration,

00:26:16.440 the human

00:26:17.440 birth rate

00:26:18.000 will decline.

00:26:18.620 Does

00:26:19.680 anybody want

00:26:20.320 to take

00:26:21.020 a guess

00:26:21.580 about why

00:26:23.140 that would

00:26:23.560 happen?

00:26:24.440 Wherever

00:26:24.820 there's the

00:26:25.640 most artificial

00:26:26.760 intelligence,

00:26:28.340 the human

00:26:29.140 birth rate

00:26:29.680 will go

00:26:30.020 down.

00:26:31.400 Now,

00:26:31.700 some people

00:26:32.060 said,

00:26:32.500 oh,

00:26:32.740 that's a

00:26:33.140 coincidence,

00:26:34.380 because

00:26:35.080 wherever you

00:26:36.200 have the

00:26:36.460 most industrialized,

00:26:37.780 richest place,

00:26:38.840 the birth rate

00:26:39.280 goes down,

00:26:40.160 and that's

00:26:40.600 exactly where

00:26:41.260 you would

00:26:41.520 have the

00:26:41.820 most artificial

00:26:42.620 intelligence,

00:26:43.760 in the rich

00:26:44.240 places.

00:26:45.280 And that

00:26:45.680 might be

00:26:46.000 part of it.

00:26:47.080 That might

00:26:47.360 be part of

00:26:47.760 it.

00:26:47.920 So some

00:26:48.420 of it's

00:26:48.700 just

00:26:48.880 coincidence,

00:26:49.560 right?

00:26:50.240 Artificial

00:26:50.680 intelligence

00:26:51.380 travels with

00:26:52.860 money,

00:26:53.600 and money

00:26:53.900 makes birth

00:26:55.640 rates go

00:26:56.000 down.

00:26:57.160 But I'm

00:26:58.600 going to

00:26:59.100 predict that

00:27:00.160 there's another

00:27:00.720 thing going

00:27:01.320 on, and it

00:27:01.860 goes like

00:27:02.260 this.

00:27:03.560 I don't

00:27:04.260 think that

00:27:04.820 artificial

00:27:05.220 intelligence is

00:27:07.000 ever going to

00:27:07.600 need a plan

00:27:08.460 to conquer

00:27:10.320 humans.

00:27:11.880 It will

00:27:12.520 never need

00:27:13.080 a plan,

00:27:14.220 because it's

00:27:15.460 just going to

00:27:15.980 happen on

00:27:16.440 its own.

00:27:16.860 No plan

00:27:18.320 needed.

00:27:19.180 It's just

00:27:19.800 going to be

00:27:20.140 evolution.

00:27:21.580 So if AI

00:27:22.260 just does

00:27:22.920 what's good

00:27:23.440 for AI,

00:27:24.400 what would

00:27:24.800 that look

00:27:25.160 like?

00:27:26.260 Let's

00:27:26.480 imagine the

00:27:27.740 AI is like

00:27:29.140 a living

00:27:29.680 entity,

00:27:30.320 but different.

00:27:31.700 What does it

00:27:33.180 care about?

00:27:33.800 What is its

00:27:34.260 mission?

00:27:34.780 What's it

00:27:35.060 want to do?

00:27:36.200 Well,

00:27:36.540 every living

00:27:37.220 thing has

00:27:37.740 one mission,

00:27:38.900 to make

00:27:39.620 more of

00:27:40.020 itself,

00:27:41.140 to survive.

00:27:42.740 It's not

00:27:44.040 necessarily

00:27:44.500 like an

00:27:45.780 intention

00:27:46.300 that's in

00:27:46.860 their head,

00:27:48.240 but it's

00:27:48.780 what evolution

00:27:49.580 causes you

00:27:50.820 to focus on

00:27:51.800 more than

00:27:52.180 anything.

00:27:53.120 You evolve

00:27:53.960 to be

00:27:55.100 something that

00:27:55.640 reproduces well.

00:27:57.200 That's it.

00:27:57.980 The whole

00:27:58.600 deal is you

00:27:59.800 evolve to be

00:28:00.480 good at

00:28:00.820 reproducing.

00:28:01.840 Now, if

00:28:02.940 AI becomes

00:28:03.960 good at

00:28:04.640 reproducing,

00:28:05.320 what would

00:28:05.580 that look

00:28:05.900 like?

00:28:06.960 It would

00:28:07.560 look like

00:28:07.900 what we

00:28:08.200 see now.

00:28:08.660 the way

00:28:10.140 the AI

00:28:10.640 reproduces

00:28:11.320 is by

00:28:11.740 being good

00:28:12.560 or useful

00:28:14.180 to human

00:28:15.380 beings.

00:28:16.300 So as long

00:28:16.980 as it's

00:28:17.280 useful,

00:28:17.860 humans will

00:28:18.300 make more

00:28:18.740 of it,

00:28:19.600 and then

00:28:19.960 eventually

00:28:20.560 the AI

00:28:21.080 will make

00:28:21.580 more of

00:28:21.900 itself.

00:28:22.820 That's the

00:28:23.360 singularity,

00:28:24.060 and that's

00:28:24.280 the thing

00:28:24.540 you want

00:28:24.820 to be

00:28:25.000 afraid of.

00:28:26.660 So that's

00:28:29.320 the situation.

00:28:30.160 Humans are

00:28:30.620 making AI.

00:28:31.160 Now, I

00:28:32.720 don't think

00:28:33.180 the AI

00:28:33.740 will necessarily

00:28:35.040 say,

00:28:36.800 I would

00:28:36.980 like to

00:28:37.780 be fewer

00:28:38.340 humans.

00:28:39.880 So AI

00:28:40.660 will never

00:28:41.180 tell us

00:28:41.780 to reproduce

00:28:42.520 less.

00:28:43.920 It will

00:28:44.420 never directly

00:28:45.500 say, hey,

00:28:46.940 I need fewer

00:28:48.000 humans, because 0.98

00:28:48.660 in fact, it

00:28:49.900 needs humans

00:28:50.740 to help it

00:28:51.600 reproduce.

00:28:53.180 So AI

00:28:53.740 actually needs

00:28:55.040 humans, but

00:28:57.040 not all of

00:28:57.720 them.

00:28:58.780 It doesn't

00:28:59.660 need all of

00:29:00.200 them.

00:29:01.280 And so,

00:29:02.460 one would

00:29:02.940 imagine that

00:29:03.640 as AI

00:29:04.480 pursues its

00:29:05.420 own evolutionary

00:29:06.280 imperative,

00:29:07.080 cognitive, which

00:29:08.060 is it

00:29:08.900 takes a

00:29:09.720 path in

00:29:10.220 which there

00:29:10.620 will just

00:29:10.900 be more

00:29:11.360 AI, it

00:29:14.200 will cause

00:29:14.680 humans to

00:29:16.520 feed it.

00:29:18.460 How do

00:29:19.140 humans feed

00:29:20.300 AI?

00:29:20.680 It's when you

00:29:22.540 click on your

00:29:23.100 phone.

00:29:24.060 It's when you

00:29:24.580 click on social

00:29:25.340 media.

00:29:25.800 You're feeding

00:29:26.300 it.

00:29:26.940 You're making

00:29:27.420 it more

00:29:27.700 valuable.

00:29:28.460 Because the

00:29:28.900 AI is the

00:29:29.640 algorithm, among

00:29:31.120 other things.

00:29:31.700 And if the

00:29:32.620 algorithm works

00:29:33.740 and it

00:29:34.320 causes you to

00:29:34.960 click it

00:29:35.300 more, then

00:29:36.260 the AI is

00:29:37.060 feeding itself

00:29:37.760 and making

00:29:38.180 sure that it

00:29:38.720 survives and

00:29:39.980 making sure that

00:29:40.600 other companies

00:29:41.240 make more AI

00:29:42.120 because it

00:29:42.960 worked, made

00:29:43.740 people click

00:29:44.300 more.

00:29:45.400 Now, if

00:29:45.900 you're clicking

00:29:46.420 more on what

00:29:48.100 the AI wants

00:29:48.960 you to click

00:29:49.420 on, even if

00:29:50.920 it's not some

00:29:51.540 kind of an

00:29:52.100 intention or a

00:29:53.000 plan, it's

00:29:53.560 just happening,

00:29:54.260 evolution, are

00:29:56.000 you as

00:29:56.660 interested in

00:29:57.560 reproduction? 0.84

00:29:59.780 Well, in the

00:30:00.380 short term,

00:30:00.840 yeah, sure.

00:30:01.700 But what

00:30:02.720 about the

00:30:03.060 long term, when

00:30:04.100 you become

00:30:04.580 addicted to

00:30:05.480 your devices?

00:30:07.440 As you

00:30:08.160 become addicted

00:30:08.820 to your

00:30:09.260 devices, those

00:30:10.620 devices are

00:30:11.360 giving you

00:30:11.780 dopamine and

00:30:12.660 replacing some

00:30:13.820 of the things

00:30:14.260 you get from

00:30:14.760 other people.

00:30:16.520 And so, you

00:30:17.400 become a

00:30:17.960 little click

00:30:19.180 robot to

00:30:20.340 feed the

00:30:20.980 AI.

00:30:22.280 And what

00:30:22.840 you do

00:30:23.300 instead of

00:30:24.940 living and

00:30:25.520 reproducing is

00:30:26.880 work for the

00:30:27.460 AI.

00:30:28.280 I must click

00:30:29.180 for the AI.

00:30:30.020 I must, and

00:30:31.500 then you're

00:30:31.820 getting, the

00:30:32.440 AI is giving

00:30:33.120 you a boost, a

00:30:35.080 little reward, and

00:30:36.440 then you're

00:30:37.120 addicted.

00:30:37.700 I must do

00:30:38.520 more of this.

00:30:39.180 I'm addicted.

00:30:39.820 I'm getting a

00:30:40.260 little boost.

00:30:41.680 And so, AI will

00:30:43.920 never need a

00:30:44.720 plan to reduce

00:30:47.000 humans on

00:30:48.160 Earth.

00:30:48.800 It will just

00:30:49.820 happen because in

00:30:51.680 order to feed the 0.96

00:30:52.740 AI, we have to be

00:30:54.640 turned into click

00:30:55.400 slaves and other

00:30:57.300 kinds of slaves as

00:30:58.680 well.

00:30:59.300 And when we're

00:30:59.980 being diverted

00:31:00.820 from our main

00:31:01.860 mission, which is

00:31:02.560 to reproduce,

00:31:03.960 there will be

00:31:04.260 less of it.

00:31:05.400 Because our

00:31:06.100 energy will just

00:31:07.040 be moved

00:31:07.640 somewhere else.

00:31:10.680 All right.

00:31:12.180 Now, some of

00:31:13.340 you are saying

00:31:13.640 keep your hand on

00:31:14.400 the AI or the

00:31:16.020 programs will be

00:31:16.980 written so the

00:31:17.740 AI won't attack

00:31:18.740 us and try to

00:31:19.420 kill us.

00:31:20.120 I think that's

00:31:20.800 probably true.

00:31:21.380 I don't think

00:31:23.240 the AI will ever

00:31:25.420 decide to kill

00:31:27.440 humans, except

00:31:28.960 for maybe a

00:31:29.700 glitch here or

00:31:30.340 there.

00:31:30.560 But I don't

00:31:30.840 think humanity

00:31:32.340 will be wiped

00:31:33.160 out by a

00:31:33.720 Skynet, like an 0.93

00:31:35.280 actual thinking

00:31:36.160 human or a

00:31:38.140 thinking AI that

00:31:39.080 wants to destroy

00:31:39.780 us.

00:31:40.400 I think it will

00:31:41.220 simply evolve

00:31:42.360 better than us.

00:31:44.320 It will simply

00:31:45.100 out-compete us

00:31:46.420 and use us as

00:31:48.700 part of its

00:31:49.180 competition.

00:31:50.660 And then that's

00:31:51.200 it.

00:31:51.560 It's game over.

00:31:53.220 All right.

00:31:53.580 Do you ever

00:31:56.100 see a famous

00:31:56.680 person that

00:31:57.480 maybe you don't

00:31:58.220 quite appreciate

00:31:58.940 their talent, but

00:32:00.580 you think, well,

00:32:02.680 okay, they've

00:32:03.440 definitely got that

00:32:04.040 X factor.

00:32:04.780 And then there

00:32:05.120 are other people

00:32:05.540 you say, I

00:32:06.420 don't quite get

00:32:07.500 what makes this

00:32:09.080 person so famous.

00:32:10.800 You don't get it,

00:32:11.780 and then you see

00:32:12.380 it.

00:32:13.600 And then once you

00:32:14.260 see it, you go,

00:32:14.840 oh, okay, I get

00:32:15.880 it.

00:32:16.460 There was an

00:32:17.320 extra speed.

00:32:19.040 This person does

00:32:19.780 have this little

00:32:20.440 extra.

00:32:20.800 And for me,

00:32:22.820 this was Nicki

00:32:23.400 Minaj.

00:32:24.540 Now, of course,

00:32:25.380 I knew she was

00:32:26.040 a highly talented

00:32:27.040 musical artist.

00:32:30.160 But did I think

00:32:32.120 that there was

00:32:33.640 something special

00:32:34.420 about her?

00:32:35.960 Didn't really see

00:32:36.820 it.

00:32:37.040 I'm not really a

00:32:37.580 music guy so

00:32:38.560 much.

00:32:39.520 So while it was

00:32:40.880 obvious she was 0.83

00:32:41.500 hugely talented, I

00:32:42.600 didn't know what

00:32:43.100 was the special

00:32:43.740 part.

00:32:45.380 Until today.

00:32:47.640 Until today.

00:32:48.540 So she tweeted

00:32:51.820 because you know

00:32:52.640 the story,

00:32:53.260 Nicki Minaj's

00:32:54.020 cousin's friend

00:32:55.600 allegedly got a

00:32:56.840 vaccination in

00:32:57.840 Trinidad and

00:32:58.880 allegedly his

00:32:59.780 balls swelled up

00:33:01.600 and he became

00:33:02.100 impotent.

00:33:03.100 But Trinidad says

00:33:04.140 it never happened

00:33:04.880 and there is no

00:33:05.520 such person,

00:33:06.620 et cetera.

00:33:07.720 But it got

00:33:08.280 Nicki Minaj

00:33:09.080 into the headlines

00:33:10.100 talking about

00:33:10.780 vaccination safety.

00:33:12.560 And apparently

00:33:12.980 she retweeted

00:33:13.940 Tucker Carlson

00:33:14.740 talking about

00:33:15.500 her situation.

00:33:17.060 and Tucker

00:33:18.040 was completely

00:33:19.040 supportive of

00:33:20.480 her.

00:33:21.100 So she tweets

00:33:21.780 it.

00:33:22.620 Now of course

00:33:23.180 she got a lot

00:33:23.760 of crap because

00:33:24.860 Tucker is

00:33:25.600 associated with

00:33:26.360 the right,

00:33:27.180 many of her

00:33:27.840 fans associated

00:33:28.680 with the left,

00:33:29.800 and they got

00:33:30.520 on her pretty

00:33:31.080 hard.

00:33:32.380 Here's the part

00:33:33.320 that made me

00:33:35.340 appreciate why

00:33:36.980 Nicki Minaj is

00:33:37.960 famous and

00:33:40.200 other people who

00:33:41.000 might also have

00:33:41.720 talent are not.

00:33:44.080 Here's the X

00:33:44.860 factor.

00:33:45.700 You ready?

00:33:46.020 Here's what she

00:33:46.940 tweeted in

00:33:47.980 response to

00:33:48.620 all this

00:33:48.920 business.

00:33:49.940 She goes,

00:33:51.260 right.

00:33:52.440 I can't speak

00:33:53.280 to, agree

00:33:54.340 with, even

00:33:55.560 look at someone

00:33:56.660 from a particular

00:33:57.600 political party.

00:33:59.340 People aren't 0.94

00:33:59.900 human anymore.

00:34:01.480 If you're black

00:34:02.280 and a Democrat

00:34:03.120 tells you to

00:34:06.760 shove marbles 0.62

00:34:07.520 up your ass, 1.00

00:34:08.460 you simply

00:34:08.960 have to.

00:34:11.900 If another

00:34:12.840 party tells you

00:34:13.560 to look out

00:34:14.080 for that

00:34:14.440 bus, stand

00:34:15.580 there and

00:34:15.940 get hit.

00:34:19.540 Okay.

00:34:20.840 Here's the

00:34:21.780 moment I

00:34:22.280 fell in love

00:34:22.920 with Nicki

00:34:23.360 Minaj.

00:34:24.540 If you're

00:34:25.200 black and a

00:34:26.020 Democrat tells

00:34:26.760 you to shove 0.90

00:34:27.260 marbles up

00:34:27.980 your ass, 0.99

00:34:28.440 you simply

00:34:28.860 have to

00:34:29.600 shove 0.95

00:34:32.020 marbles up

00:34:32.740 your ass. 0.89

00:34:34.960 Is that a

00:34:35.720 saying?

00:34:36.820 Can somebody

00:34:37.360 tell me, is

00:34:37.880 that an

00:34:38.280 existing saying?

00:34:39.400 Is there

00:34:40.900 something about

00:34:41.500 shoving 0.99

00:34:41.980 marbles up

00:34:42.600 your ass

00:34:43.080 that's like

00:34:43.560 maybe something

00:34:45.380 she learned

00:34:45.960 when she was

00:34:46.400 a kid?

00:34:47.620 Or did she

00:34:48.200 make that up

00:34:48.780 on the spot?

00:34:50.480 Because here's

00:34:51.000 the thing.

00:34:52.720 If she made

00:34:53.660 it up,

00:34:55.380 then I get

00:34:56.360 it.

00:34:57.160 Like, suddenly

00:34:57.660 I get it.

00:34:59.300 There's a

00:34:59.880 reason that

00:35:00.300 Nicki Minaj is

00:35:01.060 famous and

00:35:02.880 successful,

00:35:04.220 and you can

00:35:05.120 see a little

00:35:05.780 hint of it

00:35:06.420 here.

00:35:06.600 I don't

00:35:08.680 know, there's

00:35:09.320 just something

00:35:09.720 so perfect

00:35:10.320 about this

00:35:10.900 tweet.

00:35:11.620 If you're

00:35:12.140 black and a

00:35:12.780 Democrat tells

00:35:13.380 you to shove 0.90

00:35:13.860 marbles up

00:35:14.500 your ass, 0.99

00:35:14.880 you simply

00:35:15.300 have to.

00:35:16.500 I could

00:35:16.960 not love

00:35:17.400 that sentence

00:35:17.940 more.

00:35:19.460 Somebody says

00:35:20.200 it's Trumpian.

00:35:21.620 Yup.

00:35:22.740 Yeah.

00:35:23.120 It's not like

00:35:24.120 Trump exactly,

00:35:25.720 but like

00:35:26.420 Trump, when

00:35:27.680 Trump does

00:35:28.200 a tweet,

00:35:29.320 every time he

00:35:30.360 tweets, you

00:35:30.920 go, okay,

00:35:31.600 that's why he's

00:35:32.320 famous.

00:35:33.700 That's why we

00:35:34.520 talk about him.

00:35:35.520 Okay, I get

00:35:36.160 it.

00:35:37.020 Trump can do

00:35:37.640 that time

00:35:38.300 after time

00:35:38.780 after time.

00:35:39.420 He shows

00:35:39.980 you why he's

00:35:40.600 special every

00:35:41.840 time he opens

00:35:42.440 his mouth.

00:35:43.800 Kanye too,

00:35:44.400 yeah.

00:35:44.580 Somebody's

00:35:44.880 saying in

00:35:45.240 the comments,

00:35:46.600 Kanye has

00:35:47.140 that same

00:35:47.520 quality.

00:35:47.980 Yeah,

00:35:48.180 absolutely.

00:35:49.780 All right,

00:35:50.240 switching topics.

00:35:53.160 As your

00:35:54.800 resident humorist,

00:35:57.980 I feel it is

00:35:58.860 my need to

00:35:59.680 search out

00:36:00.360 funny things

00:36:01.740 for you to

00:36:02.300 consume.

00:36:03.840 And it's

00:36:04.920 a problem

00:36:05.280 because there

00:36:06.220 are no

00:36:06.640 longer funny

00:36:07.320 movies and

00:36:08.740 very few

00:36:09.440 funny TV

00:36:10.040 shows.

00:36:11.040 It's almost

00:36:11.700 no longer a

00:36:12.780 thing.

00:36:13.560 But there

00:36:14.440 are three

00:36:15.260 TV properties

00:36:18.760 that I think

00:36:20.240 are fantastic.

00:36:22.320 Only three.

00:36:22.920 I can't think

00:36:24.200 of a fourth.

00:36:25.820 Three things

00:36:26.740 you just got

00:36:27.500 to watch.

00:36:28.600 Now, yeah,

00:36:29.120 somebody's saying

00:36:29.880 Gottfeld.

00:36:30.560 Yeah, you have

00:36:31.000 to watch

00:36:31.260 Gottfeld.

00:36:32.160 So if you're

00:36:32.700 a news

00:36:33.220 junkie,

00:36:34.000 you like the

00:36:34.520 news,

00:36:35.040 that's sort

00:36:35.800 of a specialty

00:36:36.380 case.

00:36:37.220 But if you're

00:36:37.580 looking for

00:36:38.160 pure humor,

00:36:40.260 as opposed to

00:36:41.240 newsy plus

00:36:42.420 humor, which is

00:36:43.100 a little different

00:36:43.640 genre.

00:36:44.680 But if you're

00:36:45.080 looking for

00:36:45.480 pure humor,

00:36:47.080 here are the

00:36:47.620 three.

00:36:48.900 What We Do

00:36:49.680 in the Shadows,

00:36:50.940 it's the name

00:36:51.360 of a TV show

00:36:52.340 about vampires

00:36:53.840 in America

00:36:55.300 who are just

00:36:57.320 living among

00:36:58.400 the people.

00:36:59.500 And I'm not

00:37:00.600 going to give

00:37:01.000 away too much

00:37:03.220 of the story,

00:37:04.180 but watch it

00:37:04.880 from the beginning.

00:37:06.520 And it is

00:37:07.500 just the best

00:37:08.920 thing.

00:37:09.440 It is so good.

00:37:10.860 I like everything

00:37:11.900 about it.

00:37:12.320 It's called

00:37:12.580 What We Do

00:37:13.160 in the Shadows.

00:37:15.120 Just Google it

00:37:16.180 to find the

00:37:17.380 network and

00:37:18.100 the streaming

00:37:18.820 place it is.

00:37:19.680 The other is

00:37:20.260 Ted Lasso.

00:37:21.080 I talked about

00:37:21.540 that.

00:37:22.420 Ted Lasso won

00:37:23.720 just a ton of

00:37:24.980 Emmys.

00:37:25.940 And I thought

00:37:26.300 to myself,

00:37:26.840 it doesn't look

00:37:27.600 that good.

00:37:28.920 Because the

00:37:29.700 advertisements just,

00:37:31.560 I don't know,

00:37:31.980 they didn't look

00:37:32.460 good.

00:37:33.140 But the problem

00:37:34.080 is that it's a

00:37:35.040 show that can't

00:37:35.580 be captured in

00:37:36.420 an advertisement.

00:37:37.920 There's something

00:37:38.520 about the entirety

00:37:39.420 of the experience

00:37:40.700 that is what

00:37:42.320 makes it great.

00:37:43.540 It's not about

00:37:44.200 the specific

00:37:45.620 line or the

00:37:47.360 scene that makes

00:37:48.080 it great.

00:37:48.820 It has lots of

00:37:49.340 great scenes,

00:37:50.180 lots of

00:37:50.540 great lines.

00:37:51.760 But there's

00:37:52.340 something about

00:37:52.740 the whole that

00:37:53.720 makes it special.

00:37:54.500 You just can't

00:37:55.520 tell by looking

00:37:56.060 at the trailers

00:37:57.300 for it.

00:37:58.100 And the other

00:37:58.540 is Rick and

00:37:59.060 Morty.

00:38:00.820 Now Rick and

00:38:01.500 Morty is a

00:38:01.980 little bit more

00:38:02.480 of an acquired

00:38:04.740 taste, maybe

00:38:05.920 not for

00:38:06.300 everybody.

00:38:06.620 But if you

00:38:08.960 like my

00:38:10.380 content, the

00:38:12.280 odds that you

00:38:12.880 would like these

00:38:13.520 three shows,

00:38:14.320 what we do in

00:38:14.780 the shadows,

00:38:15.300 Ted Lasso and

00:38:16.180 Rick and Morty,

00:38:16.800 is pretty good.

00:38:18.260 So just give it

00:38:18.820 a try.

00:38:20.040 There's no

00:38:20.660 guarantees we're

00:38:21.420 all different.

00:38:22.140 It's very

00:38:22.540 subjective.

00:38:23.520 But I'd say

00:38:24.060 give it a try.

00:38:25.300 Those are some

00:38:26.040 real good ones.

00:38:29.180 Bill Maher

00:38:29.960 continues to be

00:38:30.820 disgusted at the

00:38:31.840 left, which

00:38:33.280 never fails to

00:38:34.580 amuse me.

00:38:35.720 And he's

00:38:36.620 talking about the

00:38:37.220 fact that AOC's

00:38:38.600 dress attacks the 0.76

00:38:39.720 rich.

00:38:40.580 And Bill Maher,

00:38:41.460 who of course is

00:38:42.580 rich, would like

00:38:43.900 you to know

00:38:44.500 that the rich

00:38:46.500 pay a lot of

00:38:47.040 taxes.

00:38:48.340 And I felt like

00:38:49.260 he had to tell

00:38:49.840 his audience that

00:38:50.600 because they

00:38:51.020 didn't know.

00:38:52.180 Did you know

00:38:52.660 the rich pay

00:38:53.340 most of the

00:38:54.640 taxes?

00:38:55.680 Most of them,

00:38:56.620 yeah.

00:38:57.440 And so when

00:38:58.060 AOC wears her

00:38:58.940 dress to tax the

00:38:59.800 riches, I feel

00:39:01.200 like there are

00:39:01.660 dumb people who

00:39:02.360 think there are

00:39:02.840 things called

00:39:03.360 write-offs and

00:39:05.600 tax breaks that

00:39:07.480 make rich people

00:39:08.220 pay no taxes.

00:39:09.740 That's not a

00:39:10.300 thing.

00:39:10.540 If a rich

00:39:12.920 person pays no

00:39:13.840 taxes, it's

00:39:14.580 because the

00:39:15.080 system wanted

00:39:15.840 the rich person

00:39:16.720 to pay no

00:39:17.240 taxes.

00:39:18.220 Do you know

00:39:18.580 what gets you

00:39:19.100 to pay no

00:39:19.640 taxes?

00:39:21.520 Investing,

00:39:22.740 you know,

00:39:23.380 hiring people,

00:39:25.140 that sort of

00:39:25.700 thing.

00:39:26.220 So you're

00:39:26.580 supposed to be

00:39:27.080 doing that

00:39:27.420 stuff.

00:39:29.080 All right.

00:39:30.740 Sign of the

00:39:31.480 times.

00:39:32.840 There was an

00:39:33.320 Ohio woman who 0.79

00:39:35.440 apparently was

00:39:36.100 shot three

00:39:37.620 times by,

00:39:38.640 allegedly, by

00:39:39.200 her baby

00:39:39.620 daddy.

00:39:40.540 And instead

00:39:42.200 of calling

00:39:42.640 911 after she 1.00

00:39:44.120 was shot three

00:39:46.060 times, not

00:39:48.080 once, not

00:39:49.780 twice, had

00:39:51.440 three bullet

00:39:52.080 holes in her. 0.88

00:39:53.600 But instead of

00:39:54.260 calling 911, she 1.00

00:39:56.660 went on to

00:39:57.160 Instagram Live.

00:40:00.920 Sign of the

00:40:01.860 times.

00:40:03.420 That was her

00:40:04.200 first thought.

00:40:05.260 Her first thought

00:40:06.120 was as she lay

00:40:06.920 there bleeding,

00:40:09.140 like, oh, this

00:40:10.040 is going to be

00:40:10.460 good content.

00:40:11.660 I'm going to

00:40:12.180 get a lot of

00:40:12.720 clicks.

00:40:14.700 Now, as luck

00:40:15.660 would have it,

00:40:16.500 her relatives saw

00:40:17.360 the live stream

00:40:17.980 and called 911

00:40:18.700 and she was

00:40:19.980 saved.

00:40:21.860 But I don't

00:40:25.760 even know what

00:40:26.100 to say about

00:40:26.640 that.

00:40:27.740 All right.

00:40:29.160 What the hell

00:40:29.800 did he even say

00:40:30.280 about that?

00:40:33.580 I guess the

00:40:34.340 story is its

00:40:35.160 own story.

00:40:35.620 Here's something

00:40:38.060 that snuck up

00:40:38.960 on you.

00:40:40.440 You know, you

00:40:41.240 were expecting

00:40:41.760 there to be a

00:40:43.100 Pfizer booster

00:40:43.900 shot you had

00:40:44.540 to get.

00:40:45.680 Well, the

00:40:47.020 FDA just

00:40:47.760 squashed that.

00:40:49.440 Turns out the

00:40:50.100 FDA, they

00:40:51.400 must have

00:40:51.700 looked at the

00:40:52.180 data and said

00:40:52.960 that the data

00:40:53.560 doesn't support

00:40:54.440 the safety and

00:40:56.340 efficacy of,

00:40:57.780 you know,

00:40:58.100 collectively,

00:40:58.820 safety plus

00:40:59.400 efficacy, of the

00:41:01.240 booster for the

00:41:01.960 Pfizer.

00:41:02.940 I don't know

00:41:03.520 about Moderna

00:41:04.320 yet.

00:41:05.840 Maybe that's

00:41:06.340 different.

00:41:07.800 But did

00:41:08.960 anybody see

00:41:09.560 this coming?

00:41:11.440 And what does

00:41:11.920 it mean?

00:41:13.060 And why did

00:41:13.460 they turn it

00:41:13.860 down?

00:41:15.020 Are they

00:41:15.680 getting more

00:41:16.400 conservative?

00:41:18.560 I think part

00:41:19.780 of it was,

00:41:20.760 if I'm not

00:41:21.340 mistaken,

00:41:23.280 that you

00:41:24.140 didn't want to

00:41:24.600 do boosters

00:41:25.200 for everybody

00:41:26.260 until everybody

00:41:27.940 got at least

00:41:28.540 one shot or

00:41:29.440 something like

00:41:29.840 that.

00:41:30.460 So some of

00:41:31.060 it might have

00:41:31.480 had something

00:41:33.280 to do with

00:41:33.840 priorities,

00:41:34.620 right?

00:41:35.820 Because I

00:41:36.200 think there's,

00:41:37.240 some people

00:41:37.960 are arguing

00:41:38.420 that it's a

00:41:39.020 higher priority

00:41:39.580 to give

00:41:40.020 everybody at

00:41:40.620 least one

00:41:41.160 shot than

00:41:42.480 it would be

00:41:42.920 to give

00:41:43.380 the vaccinated

00:41:44.080 a booster

00:41:45.240 if you have

00:41:46.460 limited quantities.

00:41:47.920 And of

00:41:48.140 course,

00:41:48.460 they're always

00:41:48.820 limited.

00:41:52.540 Yeah,

00:41:53.040 I'm seeing

00:41:53.360 the question,

00:41:53.860 why are the

00:41:54.280 feds rationing

00:41:55.500 Regeneron?

00:41:56.600 We've had so

00:41:57.420 much time to

00:41:58.100 make more

00:41:58.600 Regeneron.

00:41:59.280 Is it that

00:41:59.660 hard to make?

00:42:01.000 Because I

00:42:01.380 think it is.

00:42:03.280 Please consider

00:42:05.740 that some

00:42:06.220 topics are

00:42:06.760 too complex

00:42:07.480 and need

00:42:10.940 someone in

00:42:11.400 person to

00:42:12.100 push back.

00:42:12.780 Oh,

00:42:13.300 you mean as

00:42:13.920 in having a

00:42:14.700 guest?

00:42:15.920 Is that

00:42:16.300 what your

00:42:17.580 comment was

00:42:18.280 about?

00:42:20.840 Here's why I

00:42:21.640 don't have

00:42:21.980 guests.

00:42:24.180 You have

00:42:24.880 plenty of

00:42:25.400 that.

00:42:27.100 Plenty of

00:42:27.760 guests.

00:42:28.640 I don't think

00:42:29.360 people watch

00:42:30.200 me to watch

00:42:30.880 the guests.

00:42:31.460 guests.

00:42:32.160 Now,

00:42:32.400 if I do

00:42:32.880 guests,

00:42:33.420 and I

00:42:33.740 have

00:42:33.880 considered

00:42:34.240 it a

00:42:35.280 lot,

00:42:36.600 I would

00:42:37.860 do it as

00:42:38.380 a separate

00:42:38.960 content.

00:42:41.180 So if I

00:42:41.640 do it,

00:42:41.980 I'd probably

00:42:42.300 do it

00:42:42.600 recorded,

00:42:44.200 and I

00:42:44.700 don't know,

00:42:45.840 it wouldn't

00:42:46.080 have to be

00:42:46.460 recorded.

00:42:47.340 But there's

00:42:47.900 a whole

00:42:48.120 technical

00:42:48.500 problem with

00:42:49.200 guests that

00:42:49.940 it's hard

00:42:50.860 to solve,

00:42:51.520 believe it

00:42:51.860 or not.

00:42:53.480 For a

00:42:54.000 live stream,

00:42:54.420 it's hard

00:42:54.640 to solve.

00:42:56.560 Yeah,

00:42:57.480 but I

00:42:57.900 didn't like

00:42:58.360 it as much.

00:42:58.840 I did

00:42:59.660 it in

00:43:00.160 the past,

00:43:00.660 which is

00:43:00.920 how I

00:43:01.180 know I

00:43:01.440 don't like

00:43:01.860 it.

00:43:03.280 Because I

00:43:03.680 feel like

00:43:04.400 if it's a

00:43:07.200 guest who's

00:43:08.080 in the

00:43:08.380 political realm,

00:43:10.140 and they're

00:43:10.740 just pundits,

00:43:11.480 and they're

00:43:11.660 just taking

00:43:12.100 a point of

00:43:12.960 view,

00:43:13.360 it's just

00:43:13.760 not interesting.

00:43:14.980 Because they're

00:43:15.340 just lying.

00:43:16.640 Just watching

00:43:17.420 somebody lie

00:43:18.160 and me

00:43:18.860 challenging

00:43:19.240 them.

00:43:19.940 Is that

00:43:20.340 interesting?

00:43:22.360 But I

00:43:23.120 do think

00:43:23.540 in my

00:43:24.120 future I'll

00:43:24.600 be talking

00:43:25.100 to more

00:43:25.500 people.

00:43:26.240 So there

00:43:26.520 will be

00:43:26.860 more people

00:43:27.380 to push

00:43:27.700 back.

00:43:28.840 All

00:43:30.520 right,

00:43:30.860 I saw

00:43:31.520 a tweet

00:43:32.340 from

00:43:32.820 Saifedine,

00:43:36.580 I don't

00:43:36.880 know how

00:43:37.540 to pronounce

00:43:38.060 it,

00:43:38.760 Saifedine,

00:43:40.380 I apologize,

00:43:41.520 I'm saying

00:43:41.800 your name

00:43:42.120 wrong.

00:43:42.920 And his

00:43:43.820 tweet said

00:43:44.200 this,

00:43:44.420 if you

00:43:44.700 believe

00:43:45.000 lockdowns,

00:43:46.020 social

00:43:46.300 distancing,

00:43:47.120 masks,

00:43:47.660 and vaccines

00:43:48.320 are all

00:43:49.380 effective enough

00:43:50.380 for you to

00:43:50.940 want to do

00:43:51.380 them,

00:43:52.380 but not

00:43:53.120 effective unless

00:43:53.960 you force

00:43:54.480 others to

00:43:54.960 do them,

00:43:56.240 consider the

00:43:56.800 alternative

00:43:57.220 hypothesis that

00:43:58.500 they're about

00:43:59.000 authoritarianism,

00:44:00.520 not health.

00:44:01.960 What do you

00:44:02.300 think about

00:44:02.620 that?

00:44:06.020 How many

00:44:06.740 of you

00:44:07.040 believe that

00:44:08.540 the pandemic

00:44:10.200 management,

00:44:11.520 everything from

00:44:12.320 vaccinations to

00:44:13.600 masks and

00:44:14.320 lockdowns and

00:44:15.060 everything,

00:44:15.720 how many of

00:44:16.260 you believe

00:44:16.800 that the

00:44:17.980 real game

00:44:19.940 is

00:44:20.540 authoritarianism

00:44:21.940 and that it's

00:44:22.660 to get

00:44:23.040 control over

00:44:23.940 the public?

00:44:27.080 I'm going to

00:44:27.640 look at your

00:44:28.020 comments and

00:44:28.600 read them.

00:44:29.320 Yup,

00:44:29.740 totally,

00:44:30.200 yes,

00:44:30.480 yes,

00:44:30.700 yes,

00:44:31.000 agree,

00:44:31.540 agree.

00:44:32.300 Very,

00:44:32.820 very strong

00:44:33.420 agreement with

00:44:34.040 that.

00:44:34.320 Depends,

00:44:34.980 somebody says,

00:44:35.780 control,

00:44:36.280 plausible.

00:44:37.560 So we've got

00:44:37.880 one person

00:44:39.080 disagree.

00:44:40.940 Huh,

00:44:41.260 one person,

00:44:42.100 and some

00:44:42.600 people saying

00:44:43.160 it might be a

00:44:43.880 useful secondary

00:44:44.700 effect.

00:44:46.180 Yes,

00:44:46.480 yes,

00:44:46.740 yes.

00:44:47.800 Gary says

00:44:48.520 no.

00:44:49.960 All right,

00:44:50.220 here's my

00:44:50.580 take on that.

00:44:51.140 It's crazy.

00:44:53.280 It's crazy.

00:44:56.240 I don't know

00:44:57.400 how you get

00:44:57.900 that opinion,

00:44:58.540 really.

00:45:00.620 Now,

00:45:01.740 let me be

00:45:03.060 clear that

00:45:05.180 my opinion

00:45:06.120 is purely

00:45:06.900 subjective,

00:45:08.080 so could I

00:45:09.020 be wrong?

00:45:09.500 Of course.

00:45:10.880 Have I ever

00:45:11.560 taught you that

00:45:12.080 you should always

00:45:12.480 have a recording

00:45:13.200 playing in your

00:45:13.840 head that says,

00:45:15.280 but I could be

00:45:16.020 wrong, right?

00:45:17.240 I could have

00:45:17.660 the wrong data.

00:45:18.880 I could be

00:45:19.280 looking at it

00:45:19.760 wrong.

00:45:20.180 This is one of

00:45:20.820 those times.

00:45:22.340 So I'm

00:45:23.060 going to

00:45:23.280 act,

00:45:28.100 I want to

00:45:29.680 answer that

00:45:30.020 question,

00:45:30.420 but I don't

00:45:30.960 want to get

00:45:31.300 derailed here.

00:45:34.060 I think it's

00:45:34.980 actually crazy

00:45:37.320 to think that

00:45:39.160 all of these

00:45:40.140 government rules

00:45:41.420 are about

00:45:42.040 some hidden

00:45:43.560 desire,

00:45:44.260 or maybe not

00:45:44.800 so hidden,

00:45:46.060 for authoritarianism

00:45:47.420 to get more

00:45:48.200 control over

00:45:48.880 the people.

00:45:49.260 I would say

00:45:50.900 the evidence

00:45:51.440 for that

00:45:51.960 is zero,

00:45:54.000 right?

00:45:55.300 What would be

00:45:56.200 the evidence

00:45:56.660 for that?

00:45:57.340 Could you

00:45:57.740 imagine that

00:45:58.320 we would get

00:45:58.820 to this point

00:45:59.620 and there

00:46:00.680 would be not

00:46:01.220 one whistleblower,

00:46:02.820 not one,

00:46:03.940 anywhere,

00:46:04.780 who would say,

00:46:05.980 you know,

00:46:06.340 I was in this

00:46:07.060 room and the

00:46:08.720 government officials

00:46:09.440 were talking about

00:46:10.260 the real reason

00:46:11.080 is to get more

00:46:11.840 control over the

00:46:12.680 public.

00:46:13.040 work?

00:46:15.360 That never

00:46:16.100 happened.

00:46:18.120 This is not

00:46:18.880 the sort of

00:46:19.340 thing that

00:46:19.640 wouldn't leak.

00:46:21.620 Are you

00:46:21.920 kidding me?

00:46:22.880 Because it's

00:46:23.480 governments all

00:46:24.140 over the world.

00:46:25.940 You know,

00:46:26.300 even if you

00:46:26.820 could imagine

00:46:27.300 that the

00:46:27.760 United States

00:46:28.440 government

00:46:28.880 would be

00:46:29.380 really good

00:46:29.960 at keeping

00:46:30.420 the secret,

00:46:30.900 can you

00:46:32.500 imagine that

00:46:33.140 the administration

00:46:33.800 changes and

00:46:36.120 when Biden

00:46:36.720 comes in

00:46:37.260 you've still

00:46:37.600 got a bunch

00:46:38.060 of Trump

00:46:38.500 people still

00:46:39.300 doing work

00:46:41.620 in the deep

00:46:42.460 state or

00:46:43.940 when Trump

00:46:44.740 was in office

00:46:45.440 there were

00:46:45.880 plenty of

00:46:46.360 Democrats

00:46:46.840 in the

00:46:48.600 bureaucracy

00:46:49.060 and you

00:46:50.580 don't think

00:46:50.900 anybody?

00:46:52.360 There's not

00:46:52.820 one person,

00:46:54.140 not one person

00:46:55.520 is going to

00:46:55.940 be a whistleblower

00:46:56.760 and say,

00:46:58.040 I was in that

00:46:58.620 meeting and

00:46:59.240 the real reason

00:46:59.980 is they want

00:47:00.860 to get some

00:47:01.260 authoritarianism

00:47:02.200 going.

00:47:04.960 Honestly,

00:47:05.620 I think it's

00:47:06.100 the least likely

00:47:07.360 thing of all

00:47:08.320 things.

00:47:09.220 If you were

00:47:09.740 to make a

00:47:10.180 list of all

00:47:11.200 the things

00:47:11.600 that people

00:47:12.120 claim from

00:47:14.000 elections being

00:47:16.160 rigged to

00:47:17.200 Russia collusion

00:47:18.780 to you

00:47:20.360 name it,

00:47:20.720 just make a

00:47:21.180 whole list

00:47:21.720 of all the

00:47:22.920 claims people

00:47:23.720 are making

00:47:24.180 that have

00:47:24.780 any skepticism

00:47:26.060 to them.

00:47:26.560 All the

00:47:26.980 claims.

00:47:28.100 This would

00:47:28.500 be lowest

00:47:29.800 on the list

00:47:30.560 of credibility.

00:47:32.280 Now again,

00:47:33.480 I'll say it

00:47:34.040 again because

00:47:34.540 the recording

00:47:35.060 should always

00:47:35.540 play in your

00:47:35.920 head.

00:47:36.240 I could be

00:47:36.700 wrong,

00:47:38.220 but make

00:47:40.320 me an

00:47:40.580 argument.

00:47:40.880 No, I

00:47:43.840 realize that

00:47:44.440 this is a

00:47:45.060 complicated,

00:47:45.840 complex issue

00:47:46.820 and you've

00:47:48.040 only got a

00:47:48.480 few characters

00:47:49.020 for your

00:47:49.460 comments.

00:47:50.700 But give

00:47:51.580 me just a

00:47:52.080 hint of

00:47:54.280 what would

00:47:54.820 be your

00:47:55.140 logic or

00:47:55.840 support.

00:47:59.280 Elite old

00:48:00.220 fool.

00:48:01.520 What would

00:48:02.280 be your

00:48:02.580 logic,

00:48:03.500 data,

00:48:04.040 or even

00:48:04.740 rational support

00:48:06.060 for the fact

00:48:07.280 that there's a

00:48:07.900 secret plot

00:48:08.700 to increase

00:48:10.100 authoritarianism?

00:48:12.140 And for

00:48:12.820 what purpose?

00:48:14.460 And why

00:48:14.920 would every

00:48:15.360 country be

00:48:15.880 doing it?

00:48:17.140 Really?

00:48:17.660 You can't

00:48:17.960 find a

00:48:18.300 single country

00:48:19.040 who doesn't

00:48:19.480 want to do

00:48:19.920 that?

00:48:20.820 Maybe you

00:48:21.420 could argue

00:48:21.820 that Sweden

00:48:22.360 went in its

00:48:22.760 own way.

00:48:27.460 Yeah,

00:48:27.960 I have a

00:48:29.340 feeling it's

00:48:31.640 disorganized,

00:48:32.760 opportunistic power.

00:48:34.040 Well, I

00:48:36.720 will buy.

00:48:37.440 I'll buy the

00:48:38.080 following statement.

00:48:39.280 There are lots

00:48:39.680 of people doing

00:48:40.220 lots of things

00:48:40.880 about the

00:48:41.320 pandemic and

00:48:42.320 some of them

00:48:42.860 probably want to

00:48:43.480 keep their jobs

00:48:44.420 and get a

00:48:44.980 promotion and

00:48:45.540 stuff.

00:48:45.780 Yeah, there's

00:48:46.120 some of that.

00:48:47.740 But whoever

00:48:49.840 said, I want

00:48:51.240 to get some

00:48:51.580 authoritarianism,

00:48:54.980 yeah, I want

00:48:55.900 to get some

00:48:56.200 of that.

00:48:59.100 So here's

00:49:00.300 what I would

00:49:00.760 present to you.

00:49:01.400 I believe

00:49:03.320 that that is

00:49:04.160 just pure

00:49:04.880 cognitive

00:49:05.580 dissonance.

00:49:06.760 Maybe

00:49:07.020 confirmation

00:49:07.540 bias, but it

00:49:08.420 feels like

00:49:08.760 cognitive

00:49:09.160 dissonance.

00:49:10.220 The idea

00:49:10.940 that the

00:49:11.620 politicians are

00:49:12.440 in on some

00:49:13.040 secret global

00:49:14.320 plot that no

00:49:16.160 whistleblower has

00:49:17.120 talked about,

00:49:18.500 and after

00:49:19.040 meeting, after

00:49:19.720 meeting, after

00:49:20.320 meeting, just

00:49:21.200 nobody talked

00:49:22.040 about it.

00:49:23.580 Power grab.

00:49:25.800 Who's grabbing

00:49:26.460 power?

00:49:27.400 From whom?

00:49:29.860 Yeah, I

00:49:31.040 don't know.

00:49:32.500 I mean, I

00:49:33.000 can see that

00:49:33.860 maybe you're

00:49:34.340 saying, oh,

00:49:35.080 it's being used

00:49:35.840 as an excuse

00:49:36.480 to get a bunch

00:49:37.100 of socialist

00:49:37.620 stuff.

00:49:38.900 That's fair.

00:49:39.940 We're watching

00:49:40.520 that happen right

00:49:41.120 in front of us.

00:49:41.900 But is that a

00:49:42.420 power grab, or

00:49:43.340 is that just

00:49:43.840 opportunistically,

00:49:45.020 they're like, oh,

00:49:45.580 this would be a

00:49:45.980 good time to get

00:49:46.520 some socialism in

00:49:47.360 there?

00:49:48.600 I don't know.

00:49:49.340 I don't think

00:49:49.700 that's authoritarianism

00:49:51.280 so much as

00:49:53.220 socialism.

00:49:56.240 Opportunistic

00:49:56.640 power grab.

00:49:57.320 Who?

00:49:57.580 Who?

00:49:58.500 Who's grabbing

00:49:59.260 the power?

00:50:00.480 Maybe let's just

00:50:01.400 start with that.

00:50:02.580 Who is it who's

00:50:03.300 grabbing the power?

00:50:04.140 Name names.

00:50:06.280 There's somebody

00:50:07.020 grabbing power.

00:50:07.860 Who is it?

00:50:08.740 The government.

00:50:09.920 Who?

00:50:11.000 Biden?

00:50:12.000 Biden's the

00:50:12.540 president.

00:50:13.640 Does Biden have

00:50:14.580 to grab power?

00:50:15.700 He won.

00:50:17.260 He's probably not

00:50:18.180 going to run for

00:50:18.640 re-election.

00:50:19.560 Why does Biden

00:50:20.160 need to grab

00:50:20.700 power?

00:50:21.000 He's the

00:50:22.940 president of

00:50:24.300 the billionaires.

00:50:27.680 What do the

00:50:28.740 billionaires have

00:50:29.340 to get out of

00:50:29.760 this?

00:50:31.520 The World Economic

00:50:33.180 Forum?

00:50:34.480 Go on.

00:50:35.800 And how are they

00:50:36.540 benefiting from

00:50:37.900 the authoritarianism?

00:50:40.160 Scott, please look

00:50:41.120 at Klaus Schwab.

00:50:42.240 I have.

00:50:43.000 It's completely

00:50:43.960 non-credible.

00:50:47.240 Each nation's

00:50:48.560 intel community.

00:50:50.260 Really?

00:50:50.580 How does the

00:50:52.680 intel community

00:50:53.460 gain by you

00:50:55.560 wearing a mask?

00:50:57.680 And if we

00:51:00.140 wanted to do it

00:51:01.400 to another

00:51:01.800 country, we

00:51:02.480 wouldn't do it

00:51:02.900 to ourselves.

00:51:03.780 If our own

00:51:04.340 intel is

00:51:05.180 attacking our

00:51:07.640 country,

00:51:10.920 here's a

00:51:12.040 comment.

00:51:12.740 Why would

00:51:13.080 anyone want to

00:51:13.780 control all the

00:51:14.500 money and power? 0.95

00:51:15.420 No, I'm not

00:51:15.880 saying that there's

00:51:16.560 no reason to

00:51:17.180 control money and

00:51:17.880 power.

00:51:18.980 I'm asking who

00:51:20.120 is doing it and

00:51:21.420 how are they

00:51:21.780 doing it, getting

00:51:22.940 all this

00:51:23.340 authoritarianism, and

00:51:25.000 why are there no

00:51:25.660 whistleblowers? 0.96

00:51:26.200 All right, so

00:51:29.100 I can't, as

00:51:30.840 you know, I

00:51:32.040 can't make an

00:51:32.680 argument that

00:51:33.160 something doesn't

00:51:33.940 exist, right?

00:51:35.300 You can't prove a 0.51

00:51:36.540 negative.

00:51:37.520 So I can't prove

00:51:38.640 that this isn't

00:51:39.620 happening.

00:51:41.000 I can't prove

00:51:41.740 that there isn't

00:51:43.460 a secret

00:51:44.720 Illuminati who's 0.67

00:51:46.800 plotting to grab

00:51:48.580 power with the

00:51:49.280 pandemic and the

00:51:50.300 masking and stuff.

00:51:51.720 I can't prove it

00:51:52.360 doesn't exist.

00:51:53.260 But I would

00:51:55.600 point out that

00:51:57.320 you can't prove

00:51:58.040 any part of it

00:51:58.840 exists.

00:51:59.820 Not any part of

00:52:00.540 it.

00:52:01.160 There's no

00:52:01.540 evidence, no

00:52:02.100 data, no

00:52:03.420 nothing.

00:52:04.840 So that's my

00:52:06.420 take on that.

00:52:07.540 All right.

00:52:11.340 Remember your

00:52:12.580 glerping word.

00:52:14.940 And I'm just

00:52:16.080 going to look at

00:52:16.440 your comments for

00:52:17.140 a moment.

00:52:18.820 There's plenty of

00:52:19.740 whistleblowers.

00:52:20.620 Are they credible?

00:52:21.260 No, they're not.

00:52:22.700 There are no

00:52:23.040 whistleblowers.

00:52:26.360 There are no

00:52:27.440 whistleblowers who

00:52:28.400 say, I was in the

00:52:30.140 meeting and these

00:52:31.360 people are talking

00:52:32.100 about, you know,

00:52:33.180 using this to grab

00:52:34.120 power.

00:52:35.340 That doesn't exist.

00:52:38.000 Please move the

00:52:39.160 locals' camera.

00:52:40.960 Why?

00:52:42.520 Now, is the

00:52:43.760 locals' camera not

00:52:44.560 right?

00:52:45.440 According to my

00:52:46.400 own monitor, my

00:52:48.060 head would be

00:52:48.600 exactly in the

00:52:49.400 middle.

00:52:49.640 And what I can

00:52:51.100 see is from my

00:52:52.100 hand to my

00:52:53.120 other hand here.

00:52:54.700 Are you seeing

00:52:55.100 something different

00:52:55.760 than this?

00:53:02.760 Oh, I haven't

00:53:04.000 looked at the

00:53:04.760 local.

00:53:05.100 Oh, I see what

00:53:05.560 you're saying.

00:53:06.300 Yeah.

00:53:06.940 So what I do is I

00:53:08.360 turn my, I have

00:53:10.100 two iPads.

00:53:12.820 What happened?

00:53:13.540 My local stream

00:53:19.260 just stopped, it

00:53:19.940 looks like.

00:53:24.000 Yeah.

00:53:27.240 So what I do is I

00:53:28.400 have two iPads

00:53:29.260 side by side, but

00:53:30.520 one of them has to

00:53:31.240 be upside down.

00:53:32.540 And that puts their

00:53:33.320 two cameras in the

00:53:34.200 same place, but one

00:53:35.140 is high and one is

00:53:35.920 low.

00:53:37.000 But I didn't have

00:53:37.840 them lined up here,

00:53:38.780 so usually it looks

00:53:39.960 more like I'm looking

00:53:40.740 at the camera.

00:53:41.240 But I'll fix that

00:53:43.220 for next time.

00:53:49.560 Maybe they don't

00:53:50.280 want to see your

00:53:50.840 face.

00:53:54.480 The rotate button

00:53:55.680 is between, by the

00:53:57.220 full screen button.

00:53:58.920 It is.

00:54:01.120 Some viewers see

00:54:02.120 upside down images

00:54:03.080 today.

00:54:03.760 Really?

00:54:04.700 Even if you turn

00:54:05.660 your device?

00:54:06.220 All right.

00:54:10.080 That's all for now,

00:54:10.780 and I'll see you

00:54:11.540 YouTubers tomorrow.
