00:00:00.000 Well, good morning, everybody, and welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams, the overslept version.
00:00:12.140 Do you ever have one of those days where you wake up and for some reason it's an hour later
00:00:18.660 than it's supposed to be, and it has nothing to do with what your brain decided, your body
00:00:24.680 just decided while you're sleeping, you know what, I'm not going to let you in.
00:00:30.380 I'm just not going to let you wake up.
00:00:33.100 So after, I don't know, something like, I think at least a week, maybe more than a week, where
00:00:41.380 I haven't gotten more than three to four hours a night.
00:00:45.080 Now, I normally don't sleep a lot.
00:00:48.260 Five is usually good.
00:00:50.100 If I get five or six, I'm oversleeping.
00:00:54.660 But around four or three, I start getting a little crazy.
00:01:00.780 And I was getting a little bit crazy because I had to do the cat feedings every six hours
00:01:07.020 and everything.
00:01:07.380 But this morning, this morning, my brain and my body decided, you know, your alarm is going
00:01:16.340 to go off and you're just not going to get up today.
00:01:19.940 I'm just not going to let you.
00:01:21.320 So my body and my brain just didn't let me get up.
00:01:24.660 So I'm a little less prepared than normal.
00:01:26.660 But is it going to matter?
00:01:27.980 No, no, because already you're feeling better, aren't you?
00:01:33.400 Right?
00:01:34.320 As soon as I was a little bit late, did you say to yourself, oh, no, oh, no, it's a little
00:01:40.780 bit late.
00:01:42.080 What's going on?
00:01:43.380 But don't worry.
00:01:44.820 I'm here.
00:01:45.800 And that means that you are about to experience the unparalleled pleasure.
00:01:50.680 And all you need is a cover mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug
00:01:55.200 or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:57.200 Now, when I say stein, it does not include Mark stein.
00:02:02.080 Now, you have to have a vessel that you can put liquid in that you can drink out of.
00:02:06.720 If you try to put liquid into Mark stein, well, you'll get it in.
00:02:11.840 But good luck getting it out in a form you want to drink, if you know what I mean.
00:02:15.540 So don't do that.
00:02:16.420 Get the handheld kind of a stein.
00:02:19.320 And then fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:02:20.960 I like coffee.
00:02:23.040 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day.
00:02:27.680 The thing that makes everything better.
00:02:29.320 And you know it does.
00:02:30.720 You know it does.
00:02:32.560 You know it.
00:02:33.780 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it's going to happen now.
00:02:36.800 Go.
00:02:41.900 Oh.
00:02:44.440 I can feel the coffee now flowing into all of my corbustles.
00:02:51.480 Yeah, every one of my corbustles.
00:02:54.840 And I've got a lot of corbustles.
00:02:57.200 Well, the most fun story today is that William Shatner will be on the Jeff Bezos Blue Origin spaceship to visit space.
00:03:08.260 Is that the coolest story ever?
00:03:10.820 That William Shatner, famous, of course, from Star Trek.
00:03:14.040 He's 90 years old, and he's going to space.
00:03:19.100 He's actually going to space.
00:03:21.220 William Shatner.
00:03:22.100 Everything about that story I like.
00:03:25.100 But can I take a point of personal privilege for a moment?
00:03:31.140 Can I talk about something that has nothing to do with you?
00:03:34.320 It's just about me.
00:03:39.700 If you're in my age range, you know, give or take a lot of different years,
00:03:45.820 William Shatner is one of your main, I don't know, main icons from your childhood.
00:03:51.480 One of the most important people that I've ever, you know, cared about in terms of a celebrity.
00:03:59.100 And one day on Twitter, somebody tweeted something at him,
00:04:02.080 and he referred to me as Dilbert's dad.
00:04:06.380 And I said to myself, what?
00:04:11.380 William Shatner knows who I am?
00:04:14.360 I don't know if I've had a cooler professional moment than seeing on Twitter a reference to the fact that William Shatner somehow knew who I was.
00:04:26.480 I've never been so happy in my life.
00:04:30.040 You know, and you've observed enough to know that I have an interesting life.
00:04:34.680 So it's not like I haven't met lots of famous people.
00:04:37.880 But for some reason, the fact that William Shatner knew my name, or knew what I did for a living anyway,
00:04:46.120 was just mind-blowing to me.
00:04:48.140 So that's just about me.
00:04:49.680 I'm sorry, that wasn't about any of you.
00:04:51.620 Let's get back to you.
00:04:53.660 Enough about me.
00:04:55.280 Let's talk about you some more.
00:04:58.060 So I didn't see this on 60 Minutes, but apparently there's a Facebook whistleblower
00:05:02.180 who's saying some pretty damning stuff.
00:05:06.040 Pretty damning stuff.
00:05:09.940 Apparently, let's see, apparently on January 6th-ish,
00:05:14.760 Facebook made a conscious decision to turn off the filters on fake news.
00:05:22.520 What?
00:05:23.120 They turned it off.
00:05:26.760 So apparently, or at least the accusation is, that January 6th might not have happened,
00:05:33.000 or at least maybe it was accelerated or worsened in some way,
00:05:37.240 by the fact that Facebook stopped monitoring what it was presenting.
00:05:46.560 Now, shouldn't it have been off all the time?
00:05:50.180 Why was it ever on?
00:05:54.460 If it was okay to turn it off, why was it ever on?
00:05:59.680 Right?
00:06:01.220 What's the difference between after the election and before the election?
00:06:06.360 Who won?
00:06:07.940 That's the difference.
00:06:09.480 The difference is who won.
00:06:13.380 Isn't this telling us that Facebook rigged the election
00:06:16.080 by changing the algorithm to one thing before you voted
00:06:19.540 and then immediately changing it to whatever made them the most money after?
00:06:24.580 Did they, and it looks like the whistleblower is suggesting this,
00:06:29.000 did they give up some large amount of revenue intentionally
00:06:34.980 to change the results of the election?
00:06:37.880 It looks like that's exactly what they did.
00:06:41.500 It looks, now they may have, you know, conceived it differently
00:06:45.820 the way that they, you know, thought about it themselves.
00:06:49.180 They might have just said, hey, it's an election,
00:06:51.460 we better get rid of the fake news.
00:06:53.400 I mean, maybe.
00:06:54.020 If you give them the most generous interpretation,
00:06:57.000 it's that the election was important,
00:06:59.420 they didn't want it to be, you know, all fake news elections,
00:07:01.960 so they tried to get rid of the fake news
00:07:03.700 so you'd have a better, your reason to vote, you know, accurately.
00:07:07.740 But why does that thinking change after the vote?
00:07:13.680 Well, why did fake news become good for us
00:07:16.540 the moment the election was over?
00:07:20.300 Shouldn't fake news either always be bad,
00:07:23.940 or even if it's bad, we just always get to see it anyway
00:07:27.460 because of freedom of whatever?
00:07:30.640 This is pretty damning.
00:07:32.660 This is pretty damning.
00:07:34.020 You know, you've seen the Project Veritas stuff,
00:07:38.480 and that can be pretty damning,
00:07:39.720 but this does look worse.
00:07:42.760 You know, if these whistleblower complaints pan out,
00:07:46.240 I don't know if we could ever prove them,
00:07:48.440 but it's pretty bad.
00:07:51.200 So, and her allegation is that the Facebook executives
00:07:54.820 explicitly decided to make more clicks
00:07:58.580 by selling you fake news that would get you all worked up.
00:08:01.940 Intentionally, like an actual conversation,
00:08:05.320 and then they decided to make more money
00:08:07.640 instead of making you happy and having a good life.
00:08:13.440 It's almost too, it's almost hard to believe.
00:08:18.720 And what she said was specifically,
00:08:20.620 her name is Haugen, I guess, H-A-U-G-E-N. 0.97
00:08:23.660 She said the version of Facebook that exists today
00:08:27.520 is tearing our societies apart
00:08:29.860 and causing ethnic violence around the world.
00:08:33.940 That's pretty bad.
00:08:35.980 Now let me ask you this.
00:08:38.480 Why do we regulate medicine and drugs? 0.74
00:08:44.640 Why does the government regulate medicine and drugs? 0.95
00:08:48.600 It's to prevent harm, right?
00:08:50.580 I mean, that's the only reason.
00:08:51.420 They do it to prevent harm.
00:08:54.960 Why don't they regulate social media algorithms? 0.94
00:09:01.220 Does the social media algorithm have the potential
00:09:04.220 to create harm, specifically death and revolutions
00:09:08.420 and January 6th protests and everything else?
00:09:12.300 Can they do that with an algorithm?
00:09:14.860 Can an algorithm change an election?
00:09:17.760 Can an algorithm change your mind?
00:09:19.400 Can it cause a fight?
00:09:20.500 Can it cause ethnic cleansing? 0.67
00:09:22.400 Can it do all those things?
00:09:23.740 An algorithm.
00:09:25.940 Yeah, it can.
00:09:27.700 Yeah.
00:09:28.900 Is there anybody here who thinks it can't?
00:09:31.300 If you think it can't, you haven't been paying attention.
00:09:35.640 Brainwashing is really sophisticated now.
00:09:38.800 I mean, it used to be.
00:09:40.300 I mean, it always existed.
00:09:41.560 There were always people trying to fool you one way or another
00:09:43.560 or con you one way or another.
00:09:44.720 But they weren't good at it.
00:09:46.620 You need the technical power of zillions of messages
00:09:51.680 and being able to test it in real time and all that
00:09:54.740 to get to a really commercial-grade AI
00:09:58.660 that really affects your brain,
00:10:00.720 at least affects it in a specific way.
00:10:03.360 So, I feel like we have to have the conversation
00:10:09.560 about regulating algorithms, right?
00:10:14.340 Just for consistency.
00:10:16.100 If we regulate drugs,
00:10:18.640 usually because the drugs affect your brain or body, right?
00:10:22.920 But if there were a drug that made you vote differently,
00:10:29.080 would it be legal?
00:10:31.660 Suppose a pharmaceutical developed a drug
00:10:35.260 that could turn a Republican into a Democrat.
00:10:40.020 Number one, is it technically possible?
00:10:45.300 I mean, there's a question for you.
00:10:47.100 So, scientifically speaking,
00:10:51.160 would it be technically possible
00:10:53.060 to develop a pill
00:10:54.840 that would turn a Republican into a Democrat?
00:11:00.800 Yes.
00:11:04.020 Undoubtedly, yes.
00:11:05.720 No doubt about it.
00:11:07.460 Now, I'm not saying it would work on every person, right?
00:11:10.800 The same way an algorithm
00:11:11.940 doesn't influence every person the same way.
00:11:13.840 The same way every drug
00:11:14.980 doesn't influence people the same way.
00:11:17.100 Some people just don't respond to some drugs.
00:11:20.020 But, yeah, you could do some damage.
00:11:27.300 So, I think we have to look at
00:11:29.740 the question of regulating algorithms
00:11:32.280 because they do reprogram our brains.
00:11:35.340 And if the exact thing that an algorithm can do,
00:11:39.720 which is maybe change your vote,
00:11:41.420 if you had a pill that did that,
00:11:44.900 and you could,
00:11:45.840 pretty sure you could,
00:11:48.220 it wouldn't be legal.
00:11:51.760 It wouldn't be legal.
00:11:53.840 If that's all it did.
00:11:55.440 Now, let me go further
00:11:56.540 and really get provocative.
00:12:00.560 Don't you think that,
00:12:01.840 let's say Democrats sweep everything
00:12:05.640 and they own the Congress and the presidency
00:12:07.760 and they even take over the Supreme Court
00:12:10.380 in terms of the majority someday.
00:12:14.140 Could they ever tell you
00:12:15.760 that being a Republican
00:12:17.580 is a medical problem?
00:12:23.280 Is that possible?
00:12:24.820 Is it possible that there would ever be
00:12:26.980 an administration
00:12:28.820 that would treat Republicanism
00:12:31.760 as a mental disorder
00:12:33.440 that could be treated with a pill?
00:12:37.060 Totally yes.
00:12:38.640 Totally yes.
00:12:40.860 Yes with capital Y,
00:12:42.640 capital E, capital E.
00:12:43.600 Absolutely.
00:12:45.940 Absolutely could do that.
00:12:48.200 So,
00:12:49.140 I'm just asking the question.
00:12:51.500 I mean, we have to look at,
00:12:52.660 I think, FDA regulation
00:12:54.260 of anything that can program your brain.
00:12:57.020 If something can program your brain,
00:13:00.660 you need somebody to be looking at that.
00:13:03.560 You just can't let that into the wild,
00:13:05.320 just randomly programming people.
00:13:08.180 All right, well,
00:13:08.660 the CDC came out with some new recommendations
00:13:10.600 about the holidays.
00:13:13.460 And it says,
00:13:14.060 if celebrating indoors,
00:13:15.220 bring in fresh air by opening windows
00:13:17.180 and doors if possible.
00:13:19.360 And you can use a window fan
00:13:20.920 in one of the open windows
00:13:21.980 to blow air out of the windows
00:13:23.640 because it'll pull the fresh air in.
00:13:26.760 Now, this is different
00:13:27.640 than what I was talking about last week.
00:13:29.960 I was talking about a fan
00:13:31.600 even if the window is closed.
00:13:34.260 So my speculation was
00:13:35.640 that just moving the big plumes 0.79
00:13:37.840 of concentrated COVID around
00:13:39.760 would probably, you know,
00:13:42.300 distribute it
00:13:44.220 in a way that might actually reduce
00:13:46.040 the number of infections in the room
00:13:47.980 because you need a certain level
00:13:49.440 before you get there.
00:13:50.560 Now, that probably only helps
00:13:52.360 for short-term occupancy.
00:13:54.880 If you stay in a room long enough
00:13:56.560 and you've got a bunch of COVID
00:13:57.820 in the room,
00:13:59.200 if the windows are closed
00:14:00.380 and you have bad ventilation,
00:14:02.060 I don't know that a fan would help
00:14:03.880 because it's, you know,
00:14:05.220 it would just fill up
00:14:06.780 eventually with virus.
00:14:08.880 But for most situations
00:14:10.740 where people are coming and going
00:14:12.200 and there's a little bit
00:14:13.040 of ventilation,
00:14:14.200 I do wonder if just a regular fan
00:14:16.680 would work.
00:14:18.380 And here's why this is important.
00:14:19.900 We're talking about Christmas.
00:14:22.740 People aren't going to open windows
00:14:24.300 in winter.
00:14:25.900 People are not going to open the window
00:14:27.960 in the middle of the winter,
00:14:30.140 at least in most places.
00:14:31.980 I live in California.
00:14:33.600 I don't open the window
00:14:35.100 on Christmas.
00:14:37.180 I don't think one time in my life
00:14:39.060 it's been, you know,
00:14:41.240 warm enough outside
00:14:42.260 that I would open a window,
00:14:43.820 even in California.
00:14:46.480 Northern California.
00:14:47.620 Southern California, yes.
00:14:48.660 Yeah, I do in Florida.
00:14:50.360 I get that.
00:14:54.060 So,
00:14:54.640 I feel like the CDC
00:14:57.500 might be getting closer
00:14:58.820 to the Scott theory
00:15:00.480 that just moving the air around
00:15:01.740 might do something.
00:15:03.000 Now, of course,
00:15:03.620 that's, as far as I know,
00:15:04.640 untested.
00:15:06.060 So, I'd need to see.
00:15:08.800 Yeah, in Southern California,
00:15:10.160 you open the windows for sure.
00:15:14.780 So, I'd love to see
00:15:15.820 just a fan itself tested.
00:15:18.660 All right.
00:15:21.300 There is a new book coming out
00:15:23.160 and an expert
00:15:23.800 who is behind that book
00:15:26.100 who says that the Havana Syndrome,
00:15:28.820 you know,
00:15:29.040 the idea that our diplomats
00:15:32.860 were being targeted
00:15:33.620 by a secret sonic weapon.
00:15:36.380 This expert has been looking into it
00:15:37.940 for a long time
00:15:38.600 and says,
00:15:40.360 quote,
00:15:40.640 there is more evidence
00:15:41.880 for Bigfoot
00:15:42.920 than there is
00:15:44.640 for Havana Syndrome.
00:15:48.140 The U.S. expatriate
00:15:49.720 who is based,
00:15:50.740 now this is in the Daily Mail,
00:15:52.300 the Daily Mail
00:15:53.520 had this story,
00:15:54.880 is,
00:15:55.460 so he's based
00:15:56.780 in the University of Auckland
00:15:57.880 and so he's in Australia
00:16:00.580 so maybe he's a little more free
00:16:01.780 to talk about this stuff.
00:16:03.300 He said,
00:16:03.660 the evidence
00:16:04.160 overwhelmingly points
00:16:05.340 to mass hysteria
00:16:06.420 or,
00:16:07.860 as it is commonly referred
00:16:09.200 to by scientists,
00:16:11.160 mass psychogenic illness.
00:16:16.300 Havana Syndrome
00:16:17.000 is a result
00:16:17.660 of incompetent government officials
00:16:19.340 and bad science,
00:16:20.840 said this expert.
00:16:21.660 I would go so far
00:16:23.100 as to rename it
00:16:24.260 Havana Syndrome Delusion.
00:16:30.360 The absurd belief
00:16:31.420 in the wake
00:16:31.840 of persistent evidence
00:16:33.140 to the contrary
00:16:34.020 that diplomats
00:16:35.620 are being targeted
00:16:36.340 with an energy weapon.
00:16:38.760 And he said,
00:16:39.420 it is possible
00:16:40.040 to use noise as weapon
00:16:41.240 but not in the way
00:16:42.080 it was used here,
00:16:43.140 blah, blah,
00:16:43.520 because of physics
00:16:44.360 or something.
00:16:46.000 So,
00:16:48.300 are you ready
00:16:50.820 I mean,
00:16:52.180 he's an expert,
00:16:52.980 he wrote a book,
00:16:53.680 he researched it
00:16:54.520 and he said,
00:16:55.000 no,
00:16:55.260 this is just obviously
00:16:56.620 mass suggestion.
00:16:59.740 Who,
00:17:01.340 I have to brag about this.
00:17:03.640 I know you don't like it
00:17:04.800 but since this entire episode
00:17:07.460 is about
00:17:08.100 trying to figure out
00:17:10.380 how to understand the world
00:17:11.500 and predict it.
00:17:14.100 Right?
00:17:14.520 Your worldview works
00:17:16.480 if it predicts.
00:17:18.760 Have you ever heard me say that?
00:17:20.820 That's it.
00:17:22.280 If your worldview
00:17:23.500 predicts
00:17:25.280 better than
00:17:26.520 somebody else's worldview
00:17:27.780 that's as good
00:17:29.600 as you can get.
00:17:31.060 You know,
00:17:31.380 you don't know
00:17:31.740 if you have the right one.
00:17:33.300 I mean,
00:17:33.520 maybe your view of reality
00:17:34.640 is all wrong
00:17:35.300 but it predicts.
00:17:37.240 It predicts.
00:17:38.620 So,
00:17:38.960 on day one
00:17:39.420 of this story
00:17:39.980 of the Havana Syndrome
00:17:41.420 with my,
00:17:43.900 with my,
00:17:44.740 somebody has a picture
00:17:46.180 of my original
00:17:46.900 recording there.
00:17:48.100 So I said
00:17:49.360 on day one
00:17:49.960 and I believe
00:17:50.540 I'm the only public figure
00:17:51.820 who said it.
00:17:52.500 Can anybody confirm that?
00:17:54.700 That on day one,
00:17:56.360 not later,
00:17:57.760 but on day one,
00:17:59.460 I believe there was
00:18:00.120 only one public figure
00:18:01.360 who said
00:18:01.860 this is definitely
00:18:02.680 mass suggestion.
00:18:04.340 I think it was me.
00:18:05.620 I don't know
00:18:06.160 that anybody else
00:18:06.820 in the world
00:18:07.460 who is a public figure.
00:18:08.800 Some of you privately
00:18:09.740 probably said
00:18:10.320 the same thing.
00:18:11.560 Right?
00:18:11.660 Not one person
00:18:13.820 has come forward
00:18:14.500 to say this.
00:18:15.220 Even,
00:18:15.480 even now.
00:18:16.760 Even now,
00:18:17.580 you know,
00:18:17.780 so many months
00:18:18.420 have gone by
00:18:19.060 and people
00:18:19.420 didn't find any weapon.
00:18:21.140 Even now,
00:18:21.820 I don't think anybody
00:18:22.640 who is in public
00:18:23.880 is willing to say this
00:18:24.980 until this guy
00:18:25.520 wrote this book.
00:18:26.780 Now,
00:18:27.360 could the guy
00:18:27.800 who wrote the book
00:18:28.360 be wrong?
00:18:29.120 Sure.
00:18:29.960 Sure.
00:18:30.820 Am I telling you now
00:18:31.820 that we have reached
00:18:33.260 certainty?
00:18:34.980 No.
00:18:35.680 Because the world
00:18:36.340 doesn't work like that.
00:18:37.600 Every time,
00:18:38.420 let me just say
00:18:39.020 this generally.
00:18:40.240 Every time you think,
00:18:41.660 that I have achieved
00:18:42.620 100% certainty
00:18:43.980 on one of these stories
00:18:45.600 where I couldn't have
00:18:46.440 direct information,
00:18:47.740 I don't.
00:18:49.200 I don't.
00:18:49.920 Maybe sometimes
00:18:50.540 I, you know,
00:18:51.640 I give you that impression,
00:18:52.640 but I couldn't have.
00:18:53.840 So never think
00:18:54.540 in terms of 100% anything.
00:18:56.600 Just,
00:18:57.120 at this point,
00:18:58.780 I'm going to say
00:18:59.300 95% odds
00:19:00.680 that I'm right.
00:19:01.680 Maybe 95.
00:19:02.700 Could be higher.
00:19:03.680 98.
00:19:04.660 Something like that.
00:19:05.920 That's what it feels like.
00:19:07.140 I don't have anywhere
00:19:07.740 to measure that.
00:19:10.240 Well,
00:19:10.680 one of the things
00:19:11.420 I predicted-ish,
00:19:13.460 I'm not sure
00:19:13.940 this was a hard prediction,
00:19:15.680 but that the Taliban
00:19:16.920 would be
00:19:18.420 pretty hard
00:19:20.460 on not only
00:19:21.340 ISIS, 0.60
00:19:22.200 but Al-Qaeda,
00:19:23.100 that they would
00:19:23.460 just be enemies.
00:19:24.900 And sure enough,
00:19:25.480 the Taliban
00:19:25.860 completely destroyed
00:19:27.220 an ISIS-K cell.
00:19:29.660 I guess
00:19:30.180 ISIS attacked them
00:19:31.580 and they just
00:19:32.200 sent out a search
00:19:33.280 and kill party
00:19:33.920 and just wiped them out.
00:19:35.860 How much more
00:19:36.800 of that are we going to see?
00:19:37.580 I don't think
00:19:39.680 you're going to see
00:19:42.080 necessarily the Taliban 0.97
00:19:43.660 let anybody
00:19:44.700 get enough power
00:19:46.240 within Afghanistan.
00:19:49.320 Afghanistan would be 1.00
00:19:50.560 attacked again
00:19:51.160 by the United States.
00:19:53.100 My feeling is
00:19:53.980 that the Taliban 0.98
00:19:54.600 leadership has
00:19:55.500 one very big
00:19:58.240 number one priority.
00:20:00.460 Keep the United States
00:20:02.600 out of Afghanistan.
00:20:04.040 That's got to be
00:20:04.740 their top priority.
00:20:05.600 And so if that requires
00:20:07.720 wiping out ISIS
00:20:09.980 and Al-Qaeda
00:20:10.620 to do it,
00:20:11.600 I feel like
00:20:12.440 they're going to do it
00:20:13.120 just for their own
00:20:13.720 self-protection.
00:20:15.200 I don't think
00:20:16.140 that their
00:20:16.520 global ambitions
00:20:18.100 for Islam
00:20:19.800 are quite strong enough
00:20:21.240 of the Taliban
00:20:22.080 themselves
00:20:23.620 that they would let
00:20:24.360 the people
00:20:25.320 who are going to
00:20:25.700 attack America
00:20:26.360 have a strong
00:20:28.160 foothold there
00:20:28.800 if there's anything
00:20:29.440 they can do about it.
00:20:30.600 I do not believe,
00:20:32.680 of course,
00:20:33.460 this is based on
00:20:34.520 me having no
00:20:35.520 experience whatsoever
00:20:36.380 in Afghanistan,
00:20:37.560 obviously.
00:20:38.680 But it seems to me
00:20:39.820 that the Taliban 0.98
00:20:40.560 ironically could be
00:20:43.420 the best
00:20:45.100 prevention
00:20:46.200 against terrorism.
00:20:49.540 Weirdly.
00:20:51.900 So that's the
00:20:52.800 optimistic view.
00:20:54.220 Now,
00:20:54.580 does the optimistic
00:20:55.460 view work out
00:20:56.300 very often
00:20:57.360 when you're talking
00:20:57.880 about the Taliban?
00:20:59.340 Nope.
00:21:00.400 Nope.
00:21:00.660 So I'd say
00:21:01.720 that whenever
00:21:02.060 you get optimistic
00:21:03.240 about,
00:21:03.660 hey,
00:21:04.080 this Taliban 0.98
00:21:04.720 situation could
00:21:05.580 work out pretty well,
00:21:07.480 yeah,
00:21:07.780 let's go,
00:21:08.240 Brandon.
00:21:11.960 Everybody knows
00:21:12.760 what let's go,
00:21:13.480 Brandon means,
00:21:14.380 right?
00:21:15.560 Is there anybody
00:21:16.080 watching this right now
00:21:17.100 who would say,
00:21:17.640 what's that mean?
00:21:18.380 Who's Brandon?
00:21:19.760 What does let's go,
00:21:21.120 Brandon?
00:21:22.500 It's a reference
00:21:23.360 to the fact
00:21:24.960 that when people
00:21:26.260 at stadiums
00:21:27.120 are chanting,
00:21:28.800 F Joe Biden,
00:21:29.900 there was one
00:21:32.500 news person
00:21:34.280 who cheekily
00:21:35.860 said it was
00:21:36.880 let's go,
00:21:37.500 Brandon,
00:21:37.980 because she was
00:21:38.380 interviewing the
00:21:39.640 winner of the race
00:21:40.220 named Brandon.
00:21:41.660 But now we're
00:21:42.320 seeing that
00:21:42.820 let's go,
00:21:43.620 Brandon,
00:21:44.120 as sort of the,
00:21:46.040 what happened is
00:21:47.100 it evolved into
00:21:48.160 the polite way
00:21:49.920 to say F Biden.
00:21:53.440 So now you can
00:21:54.440 say in public,
00:21:55.880 let's go,
00:21:56.460 Brandon.
00:21:57.400 And everybody
00:21:58.200 in their mind
00:21:58.780 is translating
00:21:59.420 into F Joe
00:22:00.260 Biden.
00:22:00.980 It's kind of
00:22:01.340 perfect.
00:22:02.880 Now,
00:22:03.440 don't you think,
00:22:05.640 what do you think
00:22:06.380 are the odds
00:22:06.980 that Donald Trump
00:22:10.000 will say,
00:22:11.340 let's go,
00:22:11.700 Brandon,
00:22:12.720 in a public event?
00:22:14.020 Has he done it yet?
00:22:14.860 I feel like he
00:22:16.480 probably did it already.
00:22:17.440 Didn't he have,
00:22:18.400 has he had,
00:22:19.020 oh,
00:22:19.200 he did.
00:22:19.880 He did.
00:22:22.100 Of course.
00:22:23.040 Oh,
00:22:23.400 he tweeted it?
00:22:24.420 No,
00:22:24.620 well,
00:22:25.700 Trump can't tweet.
00:22:29.800 Oh,
00:22:30.320 did he do it
00:22:31.140 already?
00:22:31.580 Okay.
00:22:32.420 Well,
00:22:32.680 that's the Trump
00:22:33.200 we know.
00:22:36.260 So China 0.92
00:22:37.060 is once again
00:22:38.340 sending just
00:22:40.220 all kinds of
00:22:41.000 fighter jets
00:22:42.340 and bombers
00:22:43.160 over Taiwan,
00:22:44.720 and they're making
00:22:45.520 it real obvious
00:22:46.180 at this point
00:22:46.800 that they're
00:22:47.240 intimidating Taiwan 0.96
00:22:48.420 into basically
00:22:50.020 not fighting
00:22:50.700 and just giving up,
00:22:51.520 I think,
00:22:52.040 is the idea.
00:22:53.540 And they're really
00:22:54.580 putting the pressure
00:22:55.160 on Taiwan,
00:22:56.000 and of course,
00:22:56.860 Joe Biden's doing
00:22:57.760 nothing about it.
00:23:00.180 Nothing.
00:23:01.600 So,
00:23:02.200 what should we do
00:23:02.860 about it?
00:23:03.900 What should the
00:23:04.540 United States do
00:23:05.760 about China
00:23:08.340 clearly making
00:23:09.540 military moves
00:23:11.260 toward Taiwan?
00:23:14.340 Well,
00:23:15.380 personally,
00:23:16.980 I don't see any
00:23:17.540 scenario in which
00:23:18.360 we should fire
00:23:19.180 any bullets at China.
00:23:21.520 I hate to say it,
00:23:23.160 but even if they
00:23:23.920 take over Taiwan.
00:23:26.520 Personally,
00:23:28.040 while Taiwan
00:23:28.720 is an ally,
00:23:30.680 and we don't want
00:23:31.260 to let down an ally,
00:23:32.240 that would be
00:23:32.720 horrible,
00:23:34.780 a military
00:23:35.560 confrontation
00:23:36.100 seems,
00:23:37.760 I just can't see it.
00:23:39.720 Now,
00:23:40.060 a threatening
00:23:40.500 that we might
00:23:41.360 is probably good.
00:23:43.360 So,
00:23:43.640 yeah,
00:23:43.760 we should threaten it.
00:23:44.940 We should act
00:23:45.460 exactly like we're
00:23:46.380 going to do it.
00:23:47.300 Maybe we could
00:23:47.780 surround it with
00:23:48.500 warships if,
00:23:49.440 you know,
00:23:50.040 China gets 0.96
00:23:50.720 too aggressive,
00:23:52.220 something like
00:23:52.580 that.
00:23:53.700 But,
00:23:54.780 shouldn't we at
00:23:55.900 this point put a
00:23:56.580 price tag on it?
00:23:59.380 I feel like
00:24:00.220 Trump would.
00:24:01.780 Don't know for
00:24:02.520 sure,
00:24:03.720 but when they're
00:24:04.840 getting this close
00:24:05.980 to a military
00:24:07.840 move,
00:24:08.540 you know,
00:24:08.740 like a serious
00:24:10.100 military move
00:24:10.920 on Taiwan,
00:24:11.860 when they get
00:24:12.600 this close,
00:24:13.160 I think it's only
00:24:13.800 fair to tell them
00:24:14.420 what the price tag
00:24:15.100 is.
00:24:16.960 The price tag
00:24:17.840 probably isn't
00:24:18.760 nuclear war.
00:24:20.340 I don't think
00:24:21.100 we're going to
00:24:21.460 launch a nuke
00:24:22.180 over Taiwan.
00:24:24.220 Do you?
00:24:24.620 We're not.
00:24:25.440 That's not going
00:24:26.080 to happen.
00:24:26.820 At least,
00:24:27.560 not unless
00:24:28.080 something escalated
00:24:29.120 out of control.
00:24:31.480 But,
00:24:32.100 would we not
00:24:33.740 punish China 0.99
00:24:34.800 economically?
00:24:37.440 Well,
00:24:37.940 I don't know
00:24:38.240 if we can.
00:24:39.780 Don't know
00:24:40.260 if we can.
00:24:42.440 Right away.
00:24:43.200 But I think
00:24:46.080 we could say
00:24:46.780 that's the last
00:24:48.540 American company
00:24:49.360 that will ever
00:24:49.860 go to China 0.65
00:24:50.460 to do business.
00:24:52.340 I think we
00:24:53.160 could raise
00:24:53.780 the taxes
00:24:54.360 substantially
00:24:55.580 on American
00:24:57.520 companies that
00:24:58.220 want to stay
00:24:58.680 there.
00:25:00.660 I think we
00:25:01.580 could
00:25:02.000 make sure
00:25:04.320 that they
00:25:04.740 get sucked 0.95
00:25:05.480 dry,
00:25:06.600 but it's
00:25:06.940 kind of a
00:25:07.760 delicate dance
00:25:09.240 because they
00:25:09.820 have especially
00:25:11.540 rare earth
00:25:12.260 minerals and
00:25:13.020 other things
00:25:13.580 that they
00:25:13.900 can control
00:25:15.040 us with.
00:25:16.160 Now,
00:25:16.720 if we are
00:25:17.180 not trying
00:25:17.700 as hard
00:25:18.100 as we can
00:25:18.600 to find
00:25:19.080 other sources
00:25:19.920 for all
00:25:20.500 that stuff,
00:25:21.700 and some
00:25:22.020 of it's
00:25:22.300 harder than
00:25:22.720 other stuff,
00:25:23.340 you know,
00:25:23.520 pharmaceuticals,
00:25:24.460 you can't
00:25:25.240 just ramp
00:25:25.720 up a
00:25:26.040 pharmaceutical
00:25:26.540 manufacturing
00:25:27.840 plant in a
00:25:28.520 day.
00:25:29.420 But I
00:25:30.540 don't know
00:25:30.940 what our
00:25:31.220 government is
00:25:31.840 doing behind
00:25:32.540 the scenes,
00:25:33.780 but if
00:25:34.900 they're not
00:25:35.280 trying a lot
00:25:35.920 harder behind
00:25:36.640 the scenes
00:25:37.240 to take down
00:25:38.820 China
00:25:39.220 economically,
00:25:40.680 that's a
00:25:41.320 mistake.
00:25:41.820 we know
00:25:43.440 what they're
00:25:43.960 doing publicly
00:25:44.640 trying to
00:25:45.280 make Buy
00:25:46.100 America more
00:25:46.760 of a positive
00:25:47.400 thing than
00:25:47.860 a negative,
00:25:48.800 but we
00:25:50.480 need to
00:25:50.840 give them
00:25:51.260 an invoice.
00:25:53.260 We need
00:25:53.920 to give
00:25:54.200 them a
00:25:54.580 written price
00:25:55.220 tag that
00:25:56.340 says,
00:25:56.760 look,
00:25:57.280 if you
00:25:57.640 take over
00:25:58.140 Taiwan,
00:25:59.520 independent of
00:26:00.420 what we do
00:26:00.880 militarily,
00:26:01.600 which we're
00:26:01.920 not going to
00:26:02.300 say in advance
00:26:02.960 because we
00:26:03.400 don't say
00:26:03.780 in advance
00:26:04.240 what we do
00:26:04.720 militarily,
00:26:05.280 the cost
00:26:07.680 of this
00:26:08.040 is your
00:26:09.300 economy.
00:26:10.480 That's the
00:26:11.040 price tag.
00:26:12.020 The price tag
00:26:12.760 for Taiwan,
00:26:13.500 if you want
00:26:13.900 it,
00:26:14.680 is your
00:26:15.180 economy.
00:26:16.360 And we
00:26:16.800 should make
00:26:17.120 that completely
00:26:18.220 clear.
00:26:19.580 And that it's
00:26:20.340 your economy
00:26:20.840 forever.
00:26:22.060 Like it's not
00:26:22.720 going to change.
00:26:23.520 It's not like
00:26:24.040 we're going to
00:26:24.320 put sanctions
00:26:24.900 on you for
00:26:25.400 five years.
00:26:26.400 It's just
00:26:26.920 permanent.
00:26:27.240 If you cross
00:26:29.000 this line,
00:26:30.840 it's just
00:26:31.260 permanent.
00:26:33.540 Ooh.
00:26:33.980 Azalea says
00:26:35.940 Greenland has
00:26:36.780 rare earth
00:26:37.240 minerals.
00:26:39.860 Well,
00:26:41.180 as long as
00:26:42.320 we have the
00:26:42.680 military and
00:26:43.400 Greenland's
00:26:44.080 pretty close.
00:26:45.660 Sorry,
00:26:46.140 Greenland.
00:26:46.960 No,
00:26:47.340 we're not
00:26:47.580 going to
00:26:47.800 conquer
00:26:48.080 Greenland,
00:26:48.740 but it
00:26:48.920 would be
00:26:49.100 nice if
00:26:49.500 we had
00:26:49.720 alternate
00:26:50.020 sources.
00:26:51.620 You know,
00:26:51.860 Australia is
00:26:52.440 an alternate
00:26:52.800 source.
00:26:54.160 Canada is
00:26:54.720 an alternate
00:26:55.080 source for
00:26:55.880 a lot of
00:26:56.240 this stuff.
00:26:57.860 So we do
00:26:58.500 have allies
00:26:59.200 who have
00:26:59.720 rare earth
00:27:00.300 minerals,
00:27:01.480 right?
00:27:01.700 We've got
00:27:05.480 to give
00:27:05.680 them a
00:27:06.140 price tag.
00:27:08.940 So as
00:27:10.440 you know,
00:27:10.940 if you're
00:27:11.220 brand new
00:27:11.640 to me,
00:27:12.840 China makes 0.99
00:27:13.720 fentanyl and
00:27:14.480 sends it to
00:27:15.140 the cartels
00:27:15.860 and then the
00:27:16.300 cartels send
00:27:16.980 it up here
00:27:17.460 and then it
00:27:17.860 kills people.
00:27:18.980 And one of
00:27:19.320 the people
00:27:19.660 that fentanyl
00:27:20.560 killed was
00:27:21.100 my stepson.
00:27:22.820 So China 0.92
00:27:23.660 and I
00:27:24.000 have an
00:27:25.240 issue.
00:27:26.520 We have
00:27:27.100 an issue.
00:27:27.660 It's personal.
00:27:28.120 And so I've
00:27:29.860 been looking
00:27:30.160 for ways to
00:27:30.900 take China 0.97
00:27:31.580 down with
00:27:34.580 a persuasion
00:27:36.640 kill shot.
00:27:38.780 And after
00:27:40.700 A-B testing
00:27:41.500 it for about
00:27:42.020 three years,
00:27:43.680 since 2018
00:27:44.440 is when I
00:27:45.020 lost my
00:27:45.420 stepson,
00:27:46.640 I have
00:27:48.240 the kill
00:27:48.540 shot now.
00:27:50.160 So I
00:27:51.120 tested a lot
00:27:51.640 of things,
00:27:52.200 but here's
00:27:52.580 the kill
00:27:52.880 shot.
00:27:53.180 So I tweeted
00:27:54.300 this yesterday
00:27:55.000 and this
00:27:55.600 should get
00:27:58.300 it done.
00:27:59.960 The tweet
00:28:00.520 goes like
00:28:00.920 this.
00:28:01.660 The foundation
00:28:02.280 of economics
00:28:02.960 is trust.
00:28:05.460 Right?
00:28:06.460 You can't
00:28:07.180 do any
00:28:08.100 kind of a
00:28:08.460 business deal
00:28:09.100 without a
00:28:09.620 minimum level
00:28:10.360 of trust.
00:28:11.680 Now, sure,
00:28:12.240 you can trust
00:28:12.880 plus verify,
00:28:14.040 you can have
00:28:14.560 mutually assured
00:28:16.040 destruction and
00:28:17.280 all those other
00:28:17.860 things, but
00:28:18.600 they all get
00:28:19.020 to trust.
00:28:20.320 The trust
00:28:20.840 in the sense
00:28:21.520 that if I
00:28:22.340 give you money
00:28:22.940 you're going
00:28:23.280 to give me
00:28:23.620 some kind
00:28:24.020 of goods
00:28:24.520 or service.
00:28:25.600 you're not
00:28:26.640 just going
00:28:26.980 to take
00:28:27.180 my money
00:28:27.520 and run
00:28:27.880 away.
00:28:29.160 And you
00:28:29.980 have to
00:28:30.260 trust that
00:28:30.680 the money
00:28:31.020 I give
00:28:31.360 you is
00:28:31.640 real money.
00:28:32.900 Right?
00:28:33.160 That I
00:28:33.460 actually have
00:28:33.940 money,
00:28:34.480 you know,
00:28:34.640 my check
00:28:35.020 won't bounce,
00:28:35.720 et cetera.
00:28:36.160 So the
00:28:36.700 economy can't
00:28:37.420 move without
00:28:38.640 some minimum
00:28:39.760 level of trust
00:28:40.640 with the
00:28:41.100 customer and
00:28:41.840 everybody else.
00:28:43.860 So people
00:28:45.340 argued whether
00:28:46.300 that's the
00:28:47.280 foundation of
00:28:47.980 economics because
00:28:48.940 other people
00:28:49.440 said,
00:28:49.680 no, no,
00:28:50.600 the foundation
00:28:51.300 is supply
00:28:54.800 and demand.
00:28:55.600 Okay,
00:28:56.760 don't get
00:28:57.260 caught up
00:28:58.820 with the
00:28:59.580 word
00:28:59.760 foundation.
00:29:01.460 There are
00:29:02.060 bunches of 0.57
00:29:02.820 things.
00:29:05.440 There are
00:29:06.100 bunches of 0.57
00:29:06.680 things
00:29:07.140 which are
00:29:12.400 required for
00:29:13.240 economics.
00:29:14.020 Right?
00:29:14.260 Your economy
00:29:14.980 won't work
00:29:15.500 unless you
00:29:15.800 have resources
00:29:16.940 and currency
00:29:18.320 and oxygen
00:29:19.660 and, you know,
00:29:20.600 there are all
00:29:20.840 kinds of things
00:29:21.320 you need.
00:29:21.660 But I'm
00:29:23.040 just going to
00:29:23.340 say that
00:29:23.840 trust is the
00:29:24.860 thing that
00:29:25.400 makes everything
00:29:26.480 work.
00:29:27.720 Like, it
00:29:28.120 doesn't matter
00:29:28.560 if you have
00:29:28.880 resources, if
00:29:29.840 you don't have
00:29:30.200 trust, et cetera.
00:29:31.400 If you have
00:29:31.880 trust, you're
00:29:37.320 right, Ronnie.
00:29:38.200 I'm going to
00:29:38.680 read Ronnie's
00:29:39.260 comment.
00:29:41.400 Trump got
00:29:41.920 Scott to
00:29:42.440 publicly thank
00:29:43.280 President Xi
00:29:44.080 for lying about
00:29:45.240 stopping fentanyl.
00:29:46.440 True story.
00:29:47.500 Trump made
00:29:48.060 Scott look
00:29:48.600 dumb.
00:29:49.000 True story.
00:29:50.520 True criticism.
00:29:53.140 I know that
00:29:53.900 you're surprised
00:29:54.440 sometimes if I
00:29:55.260 agree with a
00:29:56.060 critic.
00:29:57.480 Sometimes you're
00:29:58.160 just right.
00:29:58.780 Right?
00:29:59.660 I'm not even
00:30:00.280 sure that that's
00:30:00.840 a criticism per
00:30:01.820 se.
00:30:02.260 It's an accurate 1.00
00:30:03.280 description of
00:30:03.940 what happened.
00:30:05.460 So what do I
00:30:06.060 think of Trump's
00:30:07.360 performance on
00:30:08.180 China and
00:30:09.060 fentanyl?
00:30:10.340 Failure.
00:30:11.020 Total failure.
00:30:12.000 F.
00:30:13.020 F.
00:30:14.120 Right?
00:30:14.760 Let me say that
00:30:15.340 as clearly as
00:30:16.060 possible.
00:30:16.940 Trump failed
00:30:18.600 spectacularly on
00:30:20.840 the fentanyl
00:30:21.600 China thing.
00:30:22.620 And I'm not
00:30:23.780 happy about it
00:30:24.520 because it's
00:30:25.320 personal.
00:30:26.540 Biden, of
00:30:27.120 course, is
00:30:27.480 failing too.
00:30:30.900 I guess that's
00:30:31.740 why I felt I
00:30:32.380 had to do
00:30:32.740 something myself.
00:30:34.440 If we had a
00:30:35.320 leadership that
00:30:35.860 was doing
00:30:36.160 something useful,
00:30:37.480 I'd let them
00:30:38.020 do it.
00:30:38.920 But they're not
00:30:39.640 doing it.
00:30:40.660 So I kind of
00:30:41.460 had to do it
00:30:41.920 myself.
00:30:42.960 So here's the
00:30:43.460 rest of the
00:30:43.820 kill shot.
00:30:45.000 So I said the
00:30:45.560 foundation for
00:30:46.220 economics is
00:30:46.840 trust.
00:30:47.260 Everybody who
00:30:47.880 in business
00:30:48.560 understands that
00:30:49.860 you have to
00:30:50.200 have trust for
00:30:51.060 things to work.
00:30:52.440 And I said China 0.60
00:30:53.240 has lost its
00:30:53.960 economic foundation.
00:30:55.080 In other words,
00:30:55.420 it lost its
00:30:55.980 trust.
00:30:57.280 Do you trust
00:30:58.020 China? 0.73
00:30:59.200 Do you trust
00:31:00.040 that if your
00:31:00.680 CEO visits
00:31:02.120 China that they 1.00
00:31:03.600 won't be locked
00:31:04.200 up on fake
00:31:06.000 charges for some
00:31:06.980 kind of leverage
00:31:08.600 over something?
00:31:09.760 No, not really.
00:31:10.880 Do you trust that
00:31:11.620 they won't monitor
00:31:12.400 your communication?
00:31:13.940 Nope.
00:31:14.200 Do you trust
00:31:14.980 they won't steal
00:31:15.640 your IP?
00:31:16.480 Nope.
00:31:17.080 Do you trust
00:31:17.700 that they'll
00:31:19.300 just play fair
00:31:20.200 even if it's
00:31:21.020 bad for China?
00:31:21.860 Nope.
00:31:23.100 Do you think
00:31:23.780 that their data
00:31:24.400 is accurate,
00:31:25.360 the things they
00:31:26.200 say about
00:31:26.660 really everything,
00:31:28.000 their economy?
00:31:29.140 If they tell
00:31:29.760 you that there's
00:31:30.400 enough energy
00:31:30.920 to run your
00:31:31.480 factory, is it
00:31:33.080 true?
00:31:33.340 Do you trust
00:31:33.780 them?
00:31:34.720 Nope.
00:31:36.080 China, through 0.95
00:31:37.440 its own actions,
00:31:39.280 has destroyed
00:31:40.320 its trust.
00:31:41.080 And if you
00:31:43.180 do new
00:31:44.240 business with
00:31:44.900 China, new 0.99
00:31:46.360 business, right,
00:31:47.140 if you're already
00:31:47.680 in business, it's
00:31:49.320 harder to wind it
00:31:50.080 down, and I
00:31:51.240 understand that.
00:31:52.140 You have to be
00:31:52.800 practical, too,
00:31:53.600 right?
00:31:54.600 But, and I
00:31:57.360 said you don't
00:31:57.800 have to be an
00:31:58.320 economist to
00:31:59.040 predict how this
00:31:59.720 will turn out.
00:32:00.580 The only question
00:32:01.340 left is the rate
00:32:02.200 of decline.
00:32:04.220 The only question
00:32:05.420 left is the rate
00:32:06.720 of decline.
00:32:08.260 They have
00:32:08.660 entered a death
00:32:09.380 spiral.
00:32:11.700 Here's another
00:32:12.460 way to say the
00:32:13.340 same thing.
00:32:14.300 When I said the
00:32:14.960 foundation of
00:32:15.620 economics is
00:32:16.360 trust, closely
00:32:19.040 related to that
00:32:19.880 is expectations
00:32:20.900 and psychology.
00:32:23.560 The thing that
00:32:24.400 drives every
00:32:25.100 economy is
00:32:26.020 psychology.
00:32:28.060 Not only about
00:32:29.460 trust, but do
00:32:31.380 you think that
00:32:31.900 next year will
00:32:32.500 be better or
00:32:33.100 worse?
00:32:33.800 If your
00:32:34.440 psychology is that
00:32:35.420 next year will
00:32:35.940 be better, you
00:32:36.560 invest.
00:32:37.800 If your
00:32:38.240 psychology is that
00:32:38.980 next year is
00:32:39.480 going to be
00:32:39.760 terrible, then
00:32:41.060 maybe you
00:32:41.380 hold off.
00:32:43.500 China has 0.91
00:32:44.340 entered a
00:32:45.000 death spiral
00:32:45.640 economically.
00:32:47.620 I don't see
00:32:48.520 the end of it
00:32:49.220 because their
00:32:50.700 adventurism is
00:32:52.760 going to make it
00:32:53.240 harder to do
00:32:53.920 business, not
00:32:54.500 easier, and
00:32:55.620 their energy
00:32:56.120 needs are going
00:32:56.660 to be increasing,
00:32:57.440 not decreasing.
00:32:58.780 Every problem
00:32:59.640 they have is
00:33:01.440 going to get
00:33:01.860 worse because
00:33:03.820 they're going to
00:33:04.480 start building on
00:33:05.200 top of each
00:33:05.740 other.
00:33:05.940 And the
00:33:06.680 psychology of
00:33:07.800 why anybody
00:33:08.420 would do
00:33:08.780 business with
00:33:09.380 China if
00:33:10.080 they could
00:33:10.680 avoid it is
00:33:11.880 completely
00:33:12.580 different now.
00:33:14.120 And as we
00:33:14.580 watch things
00:33:15.140 like the
00:33:15.560 Uyghurs in 1.00
00:33:16.280 prison camps,
00:33:17.540 we see all
00:33:18.620 their bad
00:33:19.020 behavior, two
00:33:19.760 corporations
00:33:20.400 stealing their
00:33:21.100 IP, etc.
00:33:22.000 And when we
00:33:22.800 see them
00:33:24.320 sending war
00:33:24.980 planes to
00:33:25.560 Taiwan, I
00:33:29.400 think you
00:33:29.780 have to say
00:33:30.380 that the
00:33:31.080 prospects for
00:33:32.080 China's 0.76
00:33:32.800 economy are
00:33:34.180 worse in
00:33:35.420 the future,
00:33:35.980 not better,
00:33:36.860 and they're
00:33:37.440 worse to the
00:33:37.920 point where
00:33:38.280 you don't
00:33:38.600 even want to
00:33:39.060 do business
00:33:39.520 over there
00:33:39.860 because you
00:33:40.100 don't know
00:33:40.360 what's going
00:33:40.660 to happen.
00:33:41.500 Because the
00:33:42.080 United States
00:33:42.640 could clamp
00:33:43.600 down on
00:33:44.380 China so 0.99
00:33:45.000 hard, and I
00:33:46.460 think it's
00:33:46.780 heading in
00:33:47.160 that direction,
00:33:48.140 that you
00:33:48.940 just wouldn't
00:33:49.340 be able to
00:33:49.900 do business
00:33:50.720 there.
00:33:51.060 It would
00:33:51.240 just be too
00:33:51.700 dangerous to
00:33:52.260 have a
00:33:52.520 factory there
00:33:53.060 if you're
00:33:53.300 an American.
00:33:54.700 So at
00:33:55.380 this point,
00:33:56.760 the simple
00:33:57.420 knowledge that
00:33:58.320 China is 0.85
00:33:59.480 entering an
00:34:00.020 economic death
00:34:00.780 spiral and
00:34:02.200 that it would
00:34:03.200 be insane
00:34:03.980 for anybody
00:34:04.440 to move
00:34:04.820 business there
00:34:05.420 or to start
00:34:05.980 doing business
00:34:06.480 if they had
00:34:06.960 to, that's
00:34:09.760 enough.
00:34:10.860 That's all
00:34:11.280 it takes.
00:34:13.680 The future
00:34:14.880 of China has
00:34:15.600 now been
00:34:16.140 written.
00:34:16.880 It's as
00:34:17.220 clear as
00:34:17.920 the Havana
00:34:18.560 syndrome.
00:34:20.420 If you
00:34:21.040 have this
00:34:22.080 kind of
00:34:22.400 talent stack,
00:34:23.040 you can see
00:34:23.460 it.
00:34:24.200 Let me put
00:34:24.620 it another
00:34:24.920 way.
00:34:25.960 The reason
00:34:26.640 I can see
00:34:27.080 the Havana
00:34:27.600 syndrome thing
00:34:28.380 as a mass
00:34:28.980 hallucination
00:34:29.800 is because
00:34:30.720 I'm a
00:34:31.160 trained
00:34:31.560 hypnotist
00:34:32.180 and I
00:34:32.520 deal with
00:34:33.160 persuasion
00:34:34.340 and mass
00:34:35.000 persuasion
00:34:37.200 as kind
00:34:38.080 of a
00:34:38.260 hobby.
00:34:39.480 So when
00:34:39.760 I saw it,
00:34:40.240 I said,
00:34:40.460 oh,
00:34:40.700 that's
00:34:40.920 obvious
00:34:41.320 because I
00:34:42.580 have a
00:34:42.760 very specific
00:34:43.580 skill set
00:34:44.240 that can
00:34:44.600 see it.
00:34:45.560 If you
00:34:45.900 have that
00:34:46.200 same skill
00:34:46.740 set,
00:34:47.220 it has
00:34:48.880 nothing to
00:34:49.260 do with
00:34:49.440 IQ or
00:34:50.040 anything
00:34:50.240 else.
00:34:50.720 But if
00:34:51.000 you have
00:34:51.180 that specific
00:34:51.840 experience,
00:34:52.540 you can
00:34:52.760 see it
00:34:53.040 too.
00:34:53.660 It would
00:34:53.880 just be
00:34:54.140 obvious.
00:34:55.660 Likewise,
00:34:56.100 if you
00:34:57.080 had a
00:34:57.260 background in
00:34:57.880 economics and
00:34:58.580 business,
00:34:59.040 as I
00:34:59.620 also do,
00:35:01.200 you can
00:35:01.800 see this.
00:35:03.720 Is there
00:35:04.140 anybody,
00:35:04.840 actually I
00:35:05.700 know there
00:35:06.040 are plenty
00:35:06.340 of economists
00:35:07.020 who are
00:35:07.300 watching this
00:35:07.860 right now.
00:35:09.160 So if
00:35:09.840 you're an
00:35:10.160 economist,
00:35:12.080 give me a
00:35:13.520 shout out,
00:35:14.540 tell me you're
00:35:15.020 an economist
00:35:15.460 in the comments,
00:35:16.360 and then tell
00:35:16.880 me you can
00:35:17.340 see it too,
00:35:18.320 or can't.
00:35:19.360 Either confirm
00:35:20.180 or deny.
00:35:20.540 If you're an 0.51
00:35:21.620 economist in the
00:35:22.400 comments,
00:35:23.100 or even if you
00:35:24.400 just have lots
00:35:24.940 of business
00:35:25.440 experience,
00:35:26.040 let's say,
00:35:27.760 can you
00:35:28.300 see that
00:35:29.240 China just 0.96
00:35:29.760 entered a
00:35:30.220 death spiral?
00:35:35.480 I'm
00:35:36.000 just,
00:35:36.260 I'm
00:35:36.440 saying yeses.
00:35:38.240 Anybody
00:35:38.600 disagree?
00:35:39.560 Anybody who
00:35:40.120 has experience
00:35:41.100 in economics,
00:35:44.240 econ degree,
00:35:45.000 can see it
00:35:46.860 with your
00:35:47.380 framing,
00:35:48.300 yeah?
00:35:48.620 The way I
00:35:49.060 frame it,
00:35:49.400 you can see
00:35:49.740 it.
00:35:53.860 Right,
00:35:54.420 the foundation
00:35:54.940 of economies
00:35:55.580 is trust,
00:35:56.380 so I
00:35:56.720 agree with
00:35:57.060 you on
00:35:57.300 that.
00:35:58.960 I'm an
00:35:59.520 economist.
00:36:00.160 I do see
00:36:00.720 China's 0.76
00:36:01.320 death spiral
00:36:01.880 if the
00:36:02.920 opposition
00:36:03.340 plays their
00:36:03.940 part.
00:36:05.060 That's
00:36:05.500 always true,
00:36:06.000 right?
00:36:07.820 Reliance
00:36:08.260 on domestic
00:36:08.920 investment
00:36:09.580 only?
00:36:12.780 Confirmed
00:36:13.220 from Erwin.
00:36:14.400 Yes,
00:36:14.920 yes.
00:36:16.220 All right,
00:36:16.580 so just
00:36:17.980 keep watching
00:36:18.880 the comments
00:36:19.380 in case there
00:36:19.940 aren't any
00:36:20.260 more,
00:36:20.820 but just
00:36:21.240 hold this
00:36:22.020 in your
00:36:22.260 mind.
00:36:24.360 Everybody
00:36:24.800 who has
00:36:25.360 experience
00:36:25.860 in this
00:36:26.440 field
00:36:26.820 can see
00:36:28.200 it now.
00:36:30.160 Right?
00:36:31.260 That's new.
00:36:33.320 Okay,
00:36:33.660 that's new.
00:36:35.100 I would
00:36:35.660 say even
00:36:36.180 maybe a
00:36:36.620 few months
00:36:37.060 ago,
00:36:38.080 you could
00:36:38.500 be a
00:36:39.060 working
00:36:39.460 economist,
00:36:40.200 have a
00:36:40.400 lot of
00:36:40.600 experience
00:36:40.980 in economics,
00:36:41.840 and not
00:36:42.340 necessarily
00:36:42.800 think China
00:36:43.400 is in
00:36:43.820 trouble.
00:36:44.940 You know,
00:36:45.180 you see
00:36:45.620 the troubles
00:36:46.120 individually,
00:36:46.800 but you
00:36:46.980 wouldn't
00:36:47.080 think,
00:36:47.380 eh,
00:36:47.740 not China
00:36:48.660 as a
00:36:48.940 country.
00:36:49.260 But now
00:36:51.000 you see
00:36:51.300 it.
00:36:52.220 Now you
00:36:52.580 see it
00:36:52.800 pretty
00:36:52.940 clearly.
00:36:53.900 If you
00:36:54.280 add the
00:36:54.580 energy
00:36:54.880 problems,
00:36:55.540 plus the
00:36:55.860 climate
00:36:56.080 change
00:36:56.420 problems,
00:36:57.120 plus the
00:36:57.460 trust
00:36:57.680 problems,
00:36:58.820 plus the
00:37:00.360 decoupling
00:37:00.960 that's going
00:37:01.680 on,
00:37:02.680 plus fentanyl,
00:37:06.000 plus
00:37:06.380 coronavirus,
00:37:09.460 at this
00:37:10.360 moment,
00:37:11.100 anybody with
00:37:11.860 economic
00:37:12.280 training can
00:37:12.860 see it.
00:37:13.460 China just 0.96
00:37:13.920 entered an
00:37:14.400 economic
00:37:14.800 death
00:37:15.100 spiral.
00:37:16.060 Now,
00:37:16.420 how do we
00:37:16.960 avoid going
00:37:18.520 down with
00:37:19.080 them?
00:37:19.220 What keeps
00:37:20.980 the rest
00:37:21.360 of the
00:37:21.560 world from
00:37:22.020 going into
00:37:22.460 this death
00:37:22.960 spiral at
00:37:23.440 the same
00:37:23.740 time?
00:37:25.860 Probably
00:37:26.380 timing,
00:37:28.060 which might
00:37:29.120 be enough.
00:37:30.500 Timing.
00:37:31.540 In other
00:37:31.880 words,
00:37:32.860 let's say
00:37:33.680 Apple doesn't
00:37:34.740 pull out of
00:37:35.600 China because 0.99
00:37:36.340 it would just
00:37:36.800 be too
00:37:37.140 hard,
00:37:38.200 but they
00:37:39.680 do start a
00:37:40.320 long-term
00:37:40.900 process of
00:37:41.740 finding another
00:37:42.620 way to
00:37:43.060 manufacture.
00:37:44.780 So if
00:37:46.060 they can
00:37:46.380 stay in
00:37:46.840 China and
00:37:47.380 keep
00:37:47.560 manufacturing
00:37:48.100 their iPhones,
00:37:49.220 until they've
00:37:50.140 got a proper
00:37:50.860 alternative set
00:37:51.800 up, maybe
00:37:53.300 the impact
00:37:53.780 on the
00:37:54.020 United States
00:37:54.480 isn't so
00:37:54.960 much.
00:37:55.660 Because China 0.94
00:37:56.400 is still
00:37:56.780 going to
00:37:56.960 want to
00:37:57.180 work with
00:37:57.560 American
00:37:57.900 companies as
00:37:58.540 long as
00:37:58.900 they can.
00:38:00.420 Right?
00:38:01.460 As long as
00:38:02.240 they can,
00:38:02.720 they're going
00:38:02.920 to keep
00:38:03.160 taking our
00:38:03.580 money.
00:38:04.620 So I
00:38:05.060 feel like
00:38:05.640 we could
00:38:06.280 phase our
00:38:06.960 way out of
00:38:07.520 there because
00:38:08.580 their incentive
00:38:10.140 is to keep
00:38:10.720 doing business
00:38:11.320 with us even
00:38:12.120 as we're
00:38:12.560 leaving.
00:38:14.240 I'm seeing
00:38:15.000 a disagreement
00:38:15.760 in all caps.
00:38:16.800 You're wrong
00:38:17.500 about China.
00:38:18.100 disagree.
00:38:21.680 May I
00:38:22.240 take a
00:38:22.560 moment?
00:38:24.100 May I
00:38:24.680 take a
00:38:25.000 moment to
00:38:25.500 address the
00:38:26.960 fine person
00:38:28.360 who's watching
00:38:28.920 who's yelling
00:38:29.980 at me in
00:38:30.440 all caps
00:38:30.980 that I'm
00:38:31.960 wrong but
00:38:33.440 does not
00:38:33.880 give any
00:38:34.300 kind of a
00:38:34.780 reason?
00:38:36.160 You might
00:38:36.540 be new
00:38:36.880 here.
00:38:39.060 You might
00:38:39.720 be new
00:38:40.040 here.
00:38:40.280 China's 0.76
00:38:46.820 response
00:38:47.260 about
00:38:47.480 fentanyl
00:38:48.000 is that
00:38:48.340 systemic
00:38:48.820 racism
00:38:49.260 exists.
00:38:50.720 Sure.
00:38:52.260 I don't
00:38:52.980 care about
00:38:53.500 that for
00:38:54.420 this topic.
00:38:55.320 I care
00:38:55.620 about it
00:38:55.920 but not
00:38:56.320 for this
00:38:56.680 topic.
00:38:59.580 Scott,
00:39:00.300 you could
00:39:00.680 only use
00:39:01.200 50 characters.
00:39:02.620 Tell me
00:39:02.920 why I'm
00:39:03.220 wrong with
00:39:03.640 China.
00:39:04.420 Not in
00:39:04.960 detail but
00:39:06.000 give me
00:39:06.400 sort of
00:39:07.680 an idea.
00:39:09.000 Just give
00:39:11.780 me an idea
00:39:12.220 of what
00:39:12.420 that means.
00:39:13.420 I think
00:39:15.800 I've
00:39:16.100 trained
00:39:16.920 most of
00:39:17.500 you that
00:39:18.780 you get
00:39:19.120 blocked if
00:39:19.840 you just
00:39:20.120 say I'm
00:39:20.440 wrong,
00:39:21.540 especially in
00:39:22.160 caps,
00:39:22.720 if you
00:39:23.720 don't give
00:39:23.980 me any
00:39:24.380 reason.
00:39:24.880 If you
00:39:25.060 have a
00:39:25.260 reason,
00:39:25.560 that's
00:39:25.720 great.
00:39:26.440 If you
00:39:26.700 have a
00:39:26.920 reason,
00:39:27.200 I want
00:39:27.480 to hear
00:39:27.680 it.
00:39:31.900 Key
00:39:32.340 assumption,
00:39:32.980 you're not
00:39:33.260 sure China
00:39:33.740 government cares
00:39:34.700 about its
00:39:35.080 people.
00:39:37.800 You know,
00:39:38.300 I'm going
00:39:38.560 to push
00:39:38.880 back on
00:39:39.320 that.
00:39:40.600 I'm going
00:39:40.960 to push
00:39:41.180 back on
00:39:41.600 that.
00:39:41.920 The suggestion
00:39:43.040 is that
00:39:43.460 China doesn't 1.00
00:39:44.020 care enough
00:39:44.440 about its
00:39:45.000 domestic
00:39:47.040 population,
00:39:49.020 and that
00:39:49.540 gives them
00:39:49.900 flexibility that
00:39:50.900 they can do
00:39:51.440 bad things to
00:39:52.480 other people
00:39:52.920 because they
00:39:53.320 can hurt
00:39:53.660 their own
00:39:53.960 people at
00:39:54.300 the same
00:39:54.540 time.
00:39:54.980 I'm going
00:39:55.280 to push
00:39:55.520 back on
00:39:55.920 that.
00:39:57.140 Honestly,
00:39:57.640 that just
00:39:57.920 sounds racist.
00:39:59.460 Am I
00:39:59.960 wrong?
00:40:01.440 That feels
00:40:02.220 like something
00:40:02.660 I would have
00:40:03.060 heard as a
00:40:03.520 kid.
00:40:04.580 You know,
00:40:04.760 we used to
00:40:05.060 hear that
00:40:05.300 about Japan
00:40:05.920 in World
00:40:07.100 War II.
00:40:07.500 it's like,
00:40:08.320 oh,
00:40:08.600 the advantage
00:40:09.280 the Japanese
00:40:09.880 had is they
00:40:11.000 don't care
00:40:11.400 about people.
00:40:13.060 So,
00:40:13.340 you know,
00:40:13.540 they'll do
00:40:13.900 suicide runs
00:40:14.840 and, you
00:40:15.780 know,
00:40:15.880 they'll fight
00:40:16.300 to the death
00:40:16.740 and stuff
00:40:17.060 because they
00:40:17.320 don't care
00:40:17.600 about people.
00:40:19.060 I feel like
00:40:19.720 that's just
00:40:21.040 racist.
00:40:22.640 I don't think
00:40:23.560 there's anything
00:40:24.040 to that.
00:40:25.400 Is there?
00:40:26.320 I mean,
00:40:26.600 every country
00:40:27.180 sends its
00:40:27.760 people to war
00:40:28.480 knowing they're
00:40:29.020 going to die. 0.95
00:40:30.180 And every
00:40:30.600 country has
00:40:31.080 heroes.
00:40:32.220 People who do
00:40:32.860 suicide missions,
00:40:34.060 sometimes they're
00:40:34.700 ordered to,
00:40:35.280 sometimes they
00:40:36.380 volunteer.
00:40:36.700 I feel
00:40:38.620 that's just
00:40:39.180 plain,
00:40:39.920 plain racism
00:40:41.040 to imagine
00:40:42.060 that some
00:40:42.500 country cares
00:40:43.980 less about
00:40:44.540 its own
00:40:44.880 population.
00:40:45.840 Now,
00:40:45.980 I know
00:40:46.120 you're saying
00:40:46.440 the government.
00:40:47.440 You're not
00:40:47.780 saying anybody
00:40:49.140 but the
00:40:49.520 government.
00:40:50.660 But I don't
00:40:51.380 think that
00:40:52.900 Xi could
00:40:54.540 get away
00:40:55.160 with,
00:40:55.520 even with as
00:40:56.020 much power
00:40:56.540 as they have
00:40:57.000 over the
00:40:57.360 population,
00:40:57.880 I don't
00:40:58.100 think he
00:40:58.400 could get
00:40:58.740 away with
00:40:59.100 abusing
00:40:59.500 the public
00:41:00.100 in a way
00:41:00.940 that everybody
00:41:01.400 could see.
00:41:01.920 I mean,
00:41:04.300 at some
00:41:04.840 scale,
00:41:05.420 he couldn't
00:41:05.700 get away
00:41:06.020 with it.
00:41:06.940 So I
00:41:07.400 reject that.
00:41:09.780 I'm going
00:41:10.220 to say,
00:41:10.580 without having
00:41:11.180 any data
00:41:12.220 to support
00:41:13.440 either of
00:41:13.980 our views,
00:41:14.980 I would say,
00:41:15.540 short of data,
00:41:16.400 that has to be
00:41:16.980 assumed to be
00:41:17.580 a racist
00:41:18.000 point of view.
00:41:20.760 Does anybody
00:41:21.540 disagree with
00:41:22.120 that?
00:41:24.260 And by the
00:41:24.900 way,
00:41:25.260 I used to
00:41:25.740 hold that
00:41:26.100 point of view.
00:41:27.260 I would say
00:41:27.720 when I was a
00:41:28.280 kid, I would
00:41:28.840 have agreed
00:41:29.200 with it.
00:41:29.460 Yeah, it
00:41:30.400 does seem
00:41:30.880 to me that
00:41:31.460 over in
00:41:32.280 those Asian 0.58
00:41:32.760 countries,
00:41:33.520 they must
00:41:34.040 care less
00:41:34.580 about their
00:41:34.960 people because
00:41:35.560 of the way
00:41:35.860 they act.
00:41:36.900 But as a
00:41:37.440 more mature
00:41:38.840 and informed
00:41:39.700 adult, to
00:41:41.060 me that just
00:41:41.680 felt like it
00:41:42.280 was racist. 0.59
00:41:43.680 Like probably
00:41:44.120 there was
00:41:44.380 never anything
00:41:45.180 to it.
00:41:47.520 So Trump
00:41:49.240 says he
00:41:49.740 would beat
00:41:50.100 DeSantis if
00:41:51.140 they had a
00:41:52.600 battle for
00:41:53.040 the primary.
00:41:54.800 What do you
00:41:55.480 think?
00:41:55.880 Would Trump
00:41:56.480 beat DeSantis
00:41:57.660 in the primary?
00:41:59.460 I say
00:42:01.180 yes.
00:42:02.720 I say
00:42:03.340 yes.
00:42:04.700 Because what
00:42:05.540 is DeSantis
00:42:06.180 except boring
00:42:07.360 Trump?
00:42:09.020 Right?
00:42:10.220 DeSantis is
00:42:11.100 just Trump
00:42:11.660 without the
00:42:12.340 sizzle.
00:42:14.600 You know?
00:42:15.100 Policy-wise,
00:42:16.220 they're pretty
00:42:16.900 aligned.
00:42:17.520 And Trump
00:42:17.940 says the
00:42:18.320 same thing.
00:42:18.760 He likes
00:42:19.080 DeSantis.
00:42:19.900 So DeSantis
00:42:20.460 and Trump
00:42:20.900 actually get
00:42:21.380 along and
00:42:21.740 they see
00:42:22.000 each other
00:42:22.300 a lot.
00:42:23.200 Down in
00:42:23.900 Florida there.
00:42:25.760 And I
00:42:26.540 think back
00:42:26.880 in June,
00:42:27.700 Trump was
00:42:28.060 asked if
00:42:28.600 he would
00:42:28.880 consider
00:42:29.220 DeSantis
00:42:29.680 as a
00:42:30.240 vice
00:42:30.480 presidential
00:42:30.940 candidate.
00:42:32.760 What do
00:42:33.300 you think
00:42:33.500 of that?
00:42:34.880 Now,
00:42:35.480 we know
00:42:35.780 that Pence
00:42:36.260 is sort
00:42:37.380 of out of
00:42:37.700 the running,
00:42:38.140 right?
00:42:39.100 What do
00:42:39.640 you think
00:42:39.900 of DeSantis
00:42:40.560 as a
00:42:42.380 vice
00:42:42.620 presidential
00:42:43.120 choice?
00:42:45.840 Honestly,
00:42:46.400 it's the
00:42:46.620 best idea
00:42:47.120 I've ever
00:42:47.460 heard.
00:42:48.720 It's like
00:42:49.280 the best
00:42:49.800 idea I've
00:42:50.320 ever heard.
00:42:51.560 Right?
00:42:52.400 Because what
00:42:52.960 is it that
00:42:53.340 you worry
00:42:53.800 most about
00:42:54.700 Trump?
00:42:56.140 Or you
00:42:56.620 should.
00:42:56.920 The thing
00:42:58.220 you should
00:42:58.480 worry the
00:42:58.840 most about
00:42:59.440 is age,
00:43:01.040 right?
00:43:01.860 Age.
00:43:03.540 And so
00:43:04.240 you need
00:43:04.640 somebody who
00:43:05.180 can really
00:43:05.740 just take
00:43:06.920 over.
00:43:07.900 And you're
00:43:08.440 not going
00:43:08.700 to lose a
00:43:09.100 beat.
00:43:09.860 Could
00:43:10.040 DeSantis
00:43:10.480 just walk
00:43:11.220 into the
00:43:11.720 president's
00:43:12.600 job after
00:43:14.540 a little bit
00:43:15.160 of time as
00:43:15.960 vice president
00:43:16.540 just to know
00:43:17.060 what people's
00:43:17.720 names are in
00:43:18.320 the federal
00:43:18.620 government?
00:43:20.020 I mean,
00:43:20.340 sure,
00:43:20.560 he knows
00:43:20.880 most of them
00:43:21.240 already,
00:43:21.640 but yeah.
00:43:22.940 Yeah,
00:43:23.260 DeSantis
00:43:23.920 would be
00:43:24.760 a just
00:43:25.240 walk
00:43:25.500 into the
00:43:25.800 job.
00:43:27.020 Now,
00:43:28.200 the Democrats
00:43:29.200 tried to do
00:43:29.840 that with
00:43:30.240 Kamala Harris,
00:43:31.000 but they
00:43:31.260 shit the
00:43:33.220 bed so hard.
00:43:34.980 Somehow the
00:43:35.700 Democrats
00:43:36.220 not only
00:43:36.900 found the
00:43:38.000 most degraded
00:43:40.640 biological
00:43:41.900 entity that
00:43:42.980 they could
00:43:43.360 find to
00:43:44.040 run as
00:43:44.400 president,
00:43:45.180 Joe Biden,
00:43:46.080 but then
00:43:46.600 his backup
00:43:47.380 might be
00:43:49.440 the least
00:43:50.000 capable
00:43:50.500 politician
00:43:51.080 we've
00:43:51.460 ever seen
00:43:51.880 in our
00:43:52.180 lifetime.
00:43:53.920 Kamala Harris
00:43:54.460 might be
00:43:54.820 the least
00:43:55.560 capable
00:43:56.780 politician.
00:43:57.800 Now,
00:43:57.960 she's smart
00:43:58.540 and capable
00:43:59.080 and smart 0.77
00:44:00.280 and experienced
00:44:00.900 and stuff,
00:44:02.080 but in
00:44:02.540 terms of
00:44:03.000 how she
00:44:03.540 handles
00:44:03.960 herself in
00:44:04.540 public
00:44:04.960 as a
00:44:05.960 vice president,
00:44:06.600 it's the
00:44:06.820 worst I've
00:44:07.280 ever seen.
00:44:08.340 I mean,
00:44:08.620 Dan Quayle
00:44:09.340 was,
00:44:10.320 you know,
00:44:11.080 level above.
00:44:13.060 Yeah,
00:44:13.600 she's as bad 0.99
00:44:14.160 as you could
00:44:14.480 be.
00:44:15.940 But,
00:44:16.880 if you saw
00:44:18.040 Trump as a
00:44:18.880 package with
00:44:19.560 DeSantis,
00:44:21.040 DeSantis
00:44:21.540 cures a lot
00:44:23.760 of Trump's
00:44:24.200 problems,
00:44:25.020 doesn't he?
00:44:26.520 Because if
00:44:27.340 DeSantis was
00:44:28.160 the vice
00:44:28.520 president,
00:44:29.080 let's assume
00:44:30.000 that they had
00:44:30.440 some kind
00:44:31.080 of close
00:44:31.480 working
00:44:31.800 relationship,
00:44:33.820 wouldn't
00:44:34.260 you assume
00:44:34.860 that Trump
00:44:36.620 would always
00:44:37.180 hear at
00:44:38.480 least one
00:44:38.940 reasonable
00:44:39.380 person's
00:44:40.040 Republican
00:44:40.540 ideas,
00:44:42.060 right?
00:44:42.860 You would
00:44:43.300 be at
00:44:44.220 least assured
00:44:45.060 that one
00:44:46.740 strong voice
00:44:47.940 that you
00:44:48.500 consider
00:44:48.920 reasonable,
00:44:50.300 DeSantis,
00:44:51.340 would be in
00:44:52.140 Trump's
00:44:52.440 ear.
00:44:53.580 Doesn't
00:44:54.040 that make
00:44:54.360 you feel
00:44:54.620 better?
00:44:55.660 Because even
00:44:56.340 if you love
00:44:56.880 Trump,
00:44:57.280 you think,
00:44:57.640 he can take
00:44:59.380 some risks.
00:45:00.820 But wouldn't
00:45:01.100 you like,
00:45:01.900 you know,
00:45:02.300 the guy who
00:45:02.800 you think
00:45:03.120 is more
00:45:03.880 of a solid
00:45:05.220 reader of
00:45:06.020 the science,
00:45:07.100 which even
00:45:07.740 Bill Maher
00:45:08.740 pointed out
00:45:09.280 that DeSantis,
00:45:10.820 he does
00:45:11.700 do dives.
00:45:12.960 At least
00:45:13.280 that's the
00:45:13.640 story.
00:45:14.460 So he is
00:45:15.280 looking at
00:45:15.660 the science.
00:45:17.100 So,
00:45:18.200 wouldn't
00:45:18.560 you love,
00:45:19.660 I mean,
00:45:19.920 it cures
00:45:20.300 Trump's
00:45:20.900 biggest
00:45:21.400 problems.
00:45:22.220 Age cures 1.00
00:45:23.080 it as a
00:45:25.640 backup plan,
00:45:26.780 and the
00:45:27.900 knowledge
00:45:28.360 certain that
00:45:29.460 Trump is
00:45:29.840 getting the
00:45:30.260 right advice.
00:45:33.680 That's a
00:45:34.400 pretty strong
00:45:34.820 package.
00:45:36.180 Pretty strong
00:45:36.860 package.
00:45:37.820 And starting
00:45:38.840 out an
00:45:39.280 election by
00:45:39.860 having such
00:45:40.460 a strong
00:45:41.060 and popular
00:45:42.340 pick for a
00:45:42.980 vice president
00:45:43.460 candidate,
00:45:45.960 that says
00:45:46.980 a lot for
00:45:47.400 you.
00:45:47.540 Now,
00:45:49.120 what would
00:45:49.540 this set
00:45:50.660 up for
00:45:51.360 after Trump
00:45:52.980 has served
00:45:53.560 two terms?
00:45:55.300 It would
00:45:55.840 set DeSantis
00:45:56.440 up as
00:45:57.000 the heir
00:45:57.380 apparent,
00:45:58.420 which is
00:45:59.160 also good
00:45:59.660 if you're
00:46:00.320 Republican.
00:46:02.740 So,
00:46:03.400 to me,
00:46:03.960 I would
00:46:04.220 say the
00:46:04.640 most likely
00:46:06.360 outcome
00:46:06.780 would be
00:46:08.500 a vice
00:46:09.440 presidential
00:46:09.940 pick of
00:46:10.600 DeSantis
00:46:11.060 and Trump
00:46:12.620 as the
00:46:13.060 nominee.
00:46:14.140 Anything
00:46:14.420 could happen.
00:46:15.680 Still plenty
00:46:16.220 of time.
00:46:20.880 DeSantis's
00:46:21.320 wife has a
00:46:22.020 breast cancer
00:46:22.580 diagnosis,
00:46:23.280 you're saying?
00:46:24.020 I don't
00:46:24.540 know that
00:46:24.820 that would
00:46:25.080 stop his
00:46:25.600 political
00:46:26.120 march.
00:46:29.060 That would
00:46:29.500 be tragic.
00:46:30.640 It would
00:46:30.860 certainly
00:46:31.120 throw him 0.99
00:46:31.580 off his
00:46:31.880 game for
00:46:32.260 a little
00:46:32.460 while.
00:46:33.520 But I
00:46:34.160 feel like
00:46:34.940 they all
00:46:37.080 have problems
00:46:37.680 and they
00:46:38.240 all work
00:46:38.580 through them.
00:46:39.780 That's a
00:46:40.340 pretty big
00:46:40.700 one, but
00:46:41.080 I think
00:46:41.360 he would
00:46:41.600 probably
00:46:41.780 work through
00:46:42.240 that.
00:46:42.480 Here's
00:46:46.200 a story
00:46:46.620 that tells
00:46:48.260 you everything
00:46:48.600 you need
00:46:48.980 to know
00:46:49.240 about human
00:46:49.740 beings.
00:46:51.520 There was
00:46:51.880 a fellow
00:46:52.800 who did
00:46:53.140 an analysis
00:46:55.300 of Stanford
00:46:56.060 students who
00:46:57.300 ride bikes
00:46:58.040 and found
00:46:59.320 out that
00:46:59.740 there were
00:47:00.040 more bicycle
00:47:00.940 riders who
00:47:01.620 had masks
00:47:02.500 but no
00:47:03.680 helmets
00:47:04.180 than there
00:47:05.800 were helmets
00:47:07.180 and no
00:47:07.700 masks.
00:47:09.820 Let me
00:47:10.560 say it
00:47:10.860 again.
00:47:11.140 Stanford
00:47:13.220 students,
00:47:14.240 which if
00:47:14.680 you are
00:47:14.900 not aware,
00:47:16.140 would be
00:47:16.500 among the
00:47:17.080 smartest
00:47:17.480 human beings
00:47:19.120 in the
00:47:20.060 United States.
00:47:21.680 No,
00:47:22.580 the world.
00:47:24.680 Right?
00:47:25.300 If you
00:47:25.840 got into
00:47:26.280 Stanford,
00:47:27.440 you have
00:47:27.800 proven that
00:47:28.340 you're one
00:47:28.660 of the
00:47:28.900 smartest
00:47:29.180 people in
00:47:29.740 the,
00:47:30.040 no,
00:47:30.400 not the
00:47:30.680 United States,
00:47:31.940 the world.
00:47:34.080 So the
00:47:34.840 smartest
00:47:35.220 people in
00:47:37.120 the world
00:47:37.600 among
00:47:38.740 them
00:47:39.060 are more
00:47:42.220 likely to
00:47:43.360 wear a
00:47:43.660 mask
00:47:44.060 outdoors
00:47:44.700 on a
00:47:45.080 bicycle
00:47:45.380 with no
00:47:45.900 helmet
00:47:46.260 than a
00:47:47.420 helmet
00:47:47.660 and no
00:47:48.140 mask.
00:47:51.560 What's
00:47:52.040 happening
00:47:52.480 to us?
00:47:54.320 Well,
00:47:54.860 it's the
00:47:55.280 perfect story
00:47:55.880 to tell you
00:47:56.360 that we're
00:47:56.620 not making
00:47:57.060 our decisions
00:47:57.620 based on
00:47:58.160 data,
00:47:58.540 right?
00:47:59.340 It's not
00:47:59.740 based on
00:48:00.180 thinking,
00:48:01.000 it's not
00:48:01.260 based on
00:48:01.680 common sense,
00:48:02.960 it's not
00:48:03.240 based on
00:48:03.600 your IQ,
00:48:04.800 it's not
00:48:05.280 based on
00:48:05.760 science,
00:48:06.400 it's not
00:48:06.680 based on
00:48:07.080 your
00:48:07.240 political
00:48:07.640 party,
00:48:09.600 although
00:48:10.040 maybe there
00:48:10.660 was some
00:48:10.920 influence of
00:48:11.480 political
00:48:11.800 party,
00:48:12.220 that's
00:48:12.400 possible.
00:48:15.320 Yeah,
00:48:15.580 that's how
00:48:15.900 smart we
00:48:16.360 are.
00:48:17.040 As a
00:48:17.460 species,
00:48:18.020 this is
00:48:18.300 how smart
00:48:18.720 we are.
00:48:19.780 The best
00:48:20.420 of us.
00:48:22.120 The very
00:48:22.860 best of
00:48:23.480 us.
00:48:25.000 That's
00:48:25.180 our best
00:48:27.040 human beings
00:48:27.680 right there,
00:48:28.720 working
00:48:29.080 through the
00:48:29.540 statistics.
00:48:32.220 Well,
00:48:33.720 Dr. Fauci
00:48:35.180 has warned
00:48:35.680 that Christmas
00:48:37.040 might have
00:48:37.580 to be
00:48:37.840 canceled
00:48:38.120 this year,
00:48:39.880 at least
00:48:40.460 in terms
00:48:40.900 of visiting
00:48:41.360 your family.
00:48:42.900 So you
00:48:43.240 might not
00:48:43.620 be able
00:48:43.940 to visit
00:48:44.520 your family
00:48:44.960 for Christmas,
00:48:45.700 Dr. Fauci
00:48:46.240 says.
00:48:47.400 As soon
00:48:47.920 as he
00:48:48.160 said that,
00:48:48.620 his popularity
00:48:49.320 went up
00:48:49.760 35%.
00:48:50.820 No,
00:48:52.720 I'm just
00:48:53.040 joking.
00:48:54.760 But it's
00:48:55.200 kind of
00:48:55.480 funny,
00:48:56.180 because you
00:48:56.980 know,
00:48:57.360 somewhere in
00:48:57.840 the country
00:48:58.220 there's
00:48:58.600 somebody
00:48:58.880 who said,
00:48:59.740 please
00:49:00.220 cancel,
00:49:01.120 please
00:49:01.680 cancel
00:49:02.040 Christmas,
00:49:02.520 I can't
00:49:02.840 do another
00:49:03.320 Christmas with
00:49:04.480 my family.
00:49:05.680 Somewhere
00:49:06.260 somebody's
00:49:06.800 saying,
00:49:07.300 we like
00:49:08.460 that Dr.
00:49:09.020 Fauci.
00:49:09.780 Now,
00:49:09.980 is it a
00:49:10.320 coincidence
00:49:10.620 that Dr.
00:49:11.380 Fauci looks
00:49:13.360 very much
00:49:14.040 like somebody
00:49:15.440 you would
00:49:15.820 cast in
00:49:16.540 the role
00:49:17.000 of the
00:49:19.040 Grinch?
00:49:20.960 Why is it
00:49:21.900 that he is
00:49:22.720 acting like
00:49:23.300 the Grinch
00:49:23.920 and coincidentally
00:49:25.820 looks exactly
00:49:27.900 like the
00:49:28.420 person that
00:49:28.900 you would
00:49:29.400 cast as
00:49:30.340 the Grinch?
00:49:33.080 Just a
00:49:33.800 coincidence.
00:49:34.060 I'm seeing
00:49:36.440 lots of
00:49:36.880 statistics that
00:49:37.800 vaccination rates
00:49:39.160 are totally
00:49:39.980 unrelated to
00:49:40.700 infection rates
00:49:41.580 in various
00:49:42.720 countries and
00:49:43.460 counties.
00:49:43.960 Do you
00:49:44.120 believe that?
00:49:45.400 Do you
00:49:45.960 believe that
00:49:46.600 vaccination rates
00:49:48.440 are completely
00:49:49.180 unrelated,
00:49:50.360 no correlation
00:49:51.100 to how much
00:49:52.140 infections are
00:49:52.940 going on?
00:49:54.080 And therefore,
00:49:55.400 the implication
00:49:55.960 of this,
00:49:56.500 if true,
00:49:57.460 are that
00:49:57.920 vaccinations
00:49:58.460 don't make
00:49:58.960 any difference
00:49:59.660 to infection
00:50:00.200 rates.
00:50:00.580 Do you
00:50:01.920 think that's
00:50:02.420 proven because
00:50:03.120 you saw
00:50:03.580 graphs about
00:50:04.360 it on the
00:50:04.740 internet?
00:50:06.260 Twitter had
00:50:06.920 graphs about
00:50:07.540 it.
00:50:07.960 Is it
00:50:08.220 true?
00:50:09.360 I don't
00:50:09.940 think so.
00:50:11.160 I don't
00:50:11.580 think it's
00:50:11.900 even close
00:50:12.340 to true.
00:50:13.080 But you're
00:50:13.460 seeing these
00:50:13.860 graphs on
00:50:14.340 the internet
00:50:14.640 just like,
00:50:15.240 oh, here's
00:50:15.540 a fact.
00:50:16.740 No, I
00:50:17.220 don't think
00:50:17.480 any of it's
00:50:17.860 true.
00:50:19.720 Definitely
00:50:20.120 there's, so
00:50:21.700 the thing you
00:50:22.140 need to know
00:50:22.520 is that death
00:50:23.000 rates are
00:50:23.520 definitely
00:50:23.920 lower where
00:50:24.540 there are
00:50:24.800 more
00:50:24.960 vaccinations.
00:50:26.760 Death rates
00:50:27.500 definitely
00:50:28.220 lower.
00:50:29.280 But measuring
00:50:29.840 infections,
00:50:30.580 we're just so
00:50:31.000 bad at
00:50:31.380 measuring
00:50:31.680 infections,
00:50:32.360 who knows
00:50:32.680 what's going
00:50:33.080 on there?
00:50:34.160 Who knows?
00:50:35.340 But if death
00:50:35.940 rates are
00:50:36.380 plunging,
00:50:37.040 wherever there
00:50:37.700 are more
00:50:38.020 vaccinations,
00:50:38.940 something's
00:50:40.320 working.
00:50:45.540 All right.
00:50:46.440 Well, how
00:50:47.080 about that?
00:50:48.460 Looks like
00:50:48.960 that was
00:50:49.280 about all
00:50:49.660 I needed
00:50:49.940 to talk
00:50:50.320 about.
00:50:51.180 So this
00:50:51.740 was me
00:50:52.220 sleeping late
00:50:53.160 and having
00:50:53.540 no time
00:50:53.980 to prepare.
00:50:55.360 I think
00:50:55.800 you'll notice
00:50:56.240 that the
00:50:56.620 quality of
00:50:57.180 the product
00:50:57.700 completely
00:50:58.480 unchanged.
00:50:59.720 Completely
00:51:00.080 unchanged.
00:51:01.100 Let me
00:51:01.540 tell you
00:51:01.820 quickly a
00:51:03.400 little story
00:51:04.120 about something
00:51:05.040 I learned
00:51:05.580 that will be
00:51:06.080 a valuable
00:51:06.620 lesson for
00:51:07.240 you.
00:51:07.860 Are you
00:51:08.080 ready?
00:51:09.000 Valuable
00:51:09.400 lesson coming
00:51:10.220 up.
00:51:11.080 When I first
00:51:11.900 started cartooning
00:51:12.740 I was working
00:51:13.260 a day job
00:51:13.900 and I had
00:51:14.840 to do all
00:51:15.320 of my
00:51:15.600 cartooning
00:51:16.260 from 4.30
00:51:17.760 in the
00:51:18.020 morning to
00:51:18.580 roughly
00:51:19.300 6.00ish.
00:51:21.280 And if I
00:51:22.280 didn't finish
00:51:22.760 it, then there
00:51:23.380 wouldn't be a
00:51:23.780 cartoon that
00:51:24.320 day or
00:51:25.120 eventually it
00:51:25.920 wouldn't run.
00:51:26.280 So I
00:51:27.160 had to
00:51:27.460 do one
00:51:27.780 a day
00:51:28.020 no matter
00:51:28.400 what.
00:51:28.800 Some days
00:51:29.280 I would
00:51:29.560 oversleep
00:51:30.060 and have
00:51:30.420 only 30
00:51:31.000 minutes,
00:51:31.960 sometimes 15,
00:51:33.860 to devise
00:51:35.040 and do a
00:51:35.780 first draft
00:51:36.380 of a comic.
00:51:38.600 Sometimes I'd
00:51:39.360 have two
00:51:39.700 hours and
00:51:40.760 write something
00:51:41.240 pretty good.
00:51:42.580 But sometimes
00:51:43.220 I'd have 15
00:51:44.080 minutes or
00:51:44.560 10 minutes
00:51:45.200 and I'd
00:51:46.460 just say,
00:51:46.800 damn it,
00:51:47.400 I've got to
00:51:47.840 make something.
00:51:48.320 So I'd just
00:51:48.620 make something.
00:51:49.580 Just whatever.
00:51:50.720 I'd just
00:51:51.020 vomit something
00:51:52.500 on the
00:51:52.800 page.
00:51:54.760 Wait about
00:51:55.360 two months,
00:51:57.140 both the
00:51:57.740 vomited
00:51:58.540 10-minute
00:51:59.320 comic and
00:52:00.300 the one I
00:52:00.700 really was
00:52:01.140 proud of,
00:52:01.740 worked for
00:52:02.100 hours on
00:52:02.520 this one,
00:52:03.200 they would
00:52:03.560 run in
00:52:03.880 the papers.
00:52:05.380 Which one
00:52:05.960 do you think
00:52:06.260 people liked
00:52:06.740 more?
00:52:07.900 The one I
00:52:08.460 vomited in
00:52:09.160 10 minutes
00:52:09.720 or the one
00:52:11.040 that I was
00:52:11.320 really proud
00:52:11.760 of, put
00:52:12.080 some work
00:52:12.480 into it?
00:52:13.920 Yeah, you
00:52:14.360 know the
00:52:14.640 answer because
00:52:15.080 I'm priming
00:52:15.740 you for the
00:52:16.040 answer.
00:52:16.540 The answer
00:52:16.840 was actually
00:52:18.240 no difference.
00:52:19.720 So there
00:52:20.680 was no
00:52:20.980 difference.
00:52:22.160 Statistically
00:52:22.640 speaking, the
00:52:24.120 response for
00:52:24.880 the one that
00:52:25.300 I vomited in
00:52:26.100 10 minutes
00:52:26.600 exactly as
00:52:27.900 good as
00:52:29.420 the one I
00:52:29.980 spent hours
00:52:30.460 on.
00:52:31.240 The public
00:52:31.960 couldn't tell
00:52:32.340 the difference.
00:52:33.660 I thought I
00:52:34.280 could tell,
00:52:35.180 but it was
00:52:35.820 an illusion.
00:52:36.480 The public
00:52:36.800 couldn't tell
00:52:37.340 at all.
00:52:40.100 Likewise,
00:52:41.380 so when I
00:52:41.980 woke up this
00:52:42.480 morning and
00:52:42.880 said,
00:52:43.160 ugh, I
00:52:44.580 have literally
00:52:45.720 not enough
00:52:46.360 time to
00:52:47.180 prepare for
00:52:47.680 this.
00:52:48.100 It would
00:52:48.440 be
00:52:48.580 impossible.
00:52:50.040 And then
00:52:50.560 I said
00:52:50.860 to myself,
00:52:51.940 oh, that's
00:52:52.300 just an
00:52:52.620 illusion.
00:52:54.140 It's not
00:52:54.700 impossible.
00:52:55.680 In fact,
00:52:56.080 it's probably
00:52:56.380 easy.
00:52:57.520 It's a
00:52:57.820 complete illusion
00:52:58.520 that I
00:52:58.920 needed two
00:52:59.360 hours to
00:52:59.800 get ready
00:53:00.080 for this.
00:53:01.320 And so
00:53:01.640 in 15
00:53:02.220 minutes,
00:53:03.740 put it
00:53:04.480 on a
00:53:04.640 show.
00:53:05.660 If I
00:53:06.160 hadn't
00:53:06.360 told you
00:53:06.700 I
00:53:06.840 overslept,
00:53:07.520 do you
00:53:07.680 think you
00:53:07.960 could have
00:53:08.220 told the
00:53:08.520 difference?
00:53:09.600 Now, I'm
00:53:09.920 not saying
00:53:10.740 this was as
00:53:11.400 good as
00:53:11.740 every other
00:53:12.140 show or
00:53:12.500 anything,
00:53:12.960 right?
00:53:13.460 You all
00:53:13.940 have your
00:53:14.240 own opinions
00:53:14.660 about that.
00:53:15.340 But do you
00:53:15.720 think you
00:53:16.020 would have
00:53:16.260 known that I
00:53:18.440 have 15
00:53:18.680 minutes to
00:53:19.140 prepare?
00:53:20.540 No.
00:53:21.280 No, you
00:53:21.640 can't tell
00:53:22.200 the difference.
00:53:23.280 So, trust
00:53:24.820 me on this.
00:53:25.720 How many
00:53:26.200 of you don't
00:53:27.000 want to start
00:53:27.940 something because
00:53:28.600 you don't think
00:53:29.080 you'll do it
00:53:29.540 well?
00:53:30.300 You're not
00:53:30.620 prepared enough?
00:53:32.060 You're not
00:53:32.460 quite ready?
00:53:33.360 You're not
00:53:33.600 confident?
00:53:35.220 Do it.
00:53:37.180 Surprise
00:53:37.660 yourself.
00:53:38.760 What if it
00:53:39.240 doesn't work?
00:53:40.440 Well, then
00:53:40.820 try it again
00:53:41.200 later.
00:53:42.440 But if the
00:53:43.240 reason you're
00:53:43.700 not going
00:53:44.160 yet is because
00:53:45.360 you didn't
00:53:46.180 have enough
00:53:46.500 time, not
00:53:47.700 prepared,
00:53:48.440 don't think
00:53:49.100 you quite
00:53:49.600 have what
00:53:50.160 it takes,
00:53:51.440 you're not
00:53:53.020 good at
00:53:53.580 knowing when
00:53:54.000 you're ready.
00:53:55.300 You are
00:53:55.940 not good
00:53:56.740 at knowing
00:53:58.080 when you're
00:53:58.460 prepared.
00:53:59.680 Sometimes.
00:54:00.680 But as a
00:54:01.400 general statement,
00:54:02.360 you're not
00:54:02.600 good at it.
00:54:03.580 So sometimes
00:54:04.340 just ignore
00:54:06.020 your own brain
00:54:06.740 saying, I'm
00:54:07.240 not ready, I'm
00:54:07.780 not ready, and
00:54:08.880 just do it.
00:54:10.280 You will be
00:54:11.000 surprised how
00:54:11.800 often that
00:54:12.220 works.
00:54:12.840 And when it
00:54:13.300 doesn't work,
00:54:14.480 what do you
00:54:14.980 do then?
00:54:16.900 You learn
00:54:17.600 something.
00:54:19.020 You get
00:54:19.560 smarter, you
00:54:20.160 get tougher, you
00:54:21.200 take another
00:54:21.640 run at it, and
00:54:22.320 you're smarter
00:54:22.740 this time, and
00:54:23.340 then you get
00:54:23.740 it done.
00:54:24.600 So don't
00:54:25.100 worry about
00:54:25.480 not working.
00:54:27.020 Sometimes it's
00:54:27.980 just part of
00:54:28.440 the process to
00:54:29.060 working.
00:54:29.800 All right, that's
00:54:30.360 it for today, and
00:54:31.900 I will talk to
00:54:32.360 you tomorrow.
00:54:33.160 Got to run
00:54:33.740 and do my
00:54:34.600 thing.
