Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1551 Scott Adams： Today I Will Talk About the Complete Self-Annihilation of the Democrat Party, Lots More

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to an experience that I think will be unparalleled,

00:00:10.820 at least until tomorrow, and it's called the Simultaneous Sip and Coffee with Scott Adams,

00:00:16.400 and I don't think there's anything better in this reality or any metaverse whatsoever.

00:00:23.240 But if you'd like to take it up a notch, I think you do.

00:00:26.700 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:34.360 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:38.300 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better

00:00:44.640 except for the Brandon administration.

00:00:48.840 Mwah. Go.

00:00:50.600 Oh, yeah. Yeah, the antibodies just coursing through my body.

00:01:00.220 Whoa, whoa. Got a little extra antibodies in my shoulder.

00:01:04.120 Got to work it out. Work it out. Spread it out. There we go.

00:01:08.480 You don't want all your antibodies in one part.

00:01:11.400 You need to get moving. Shake them around a little bit.

00:01:14.180 Well, you all saw that Ron DeSantis is, once again, following in President Trump's shadow and footsteps,

00:01:24.240 came up with his own sticky nickname.

00:01:28.180 Yes, he calls it the Brandon administration, as I borrowed his joke just a moment ago.

00:01:33.520 The Brandon administration.

00:01:35.940 Always gets a big laugh from the partisans.

00:01:39.880 Well, let's talk about the things that are happening.

00:01:41.700 Things are happening.

00:01:46.200 Let's see. Vaccination mandates going into effect January 4th for big employers, over 100 people.

00:01:57.080 What is there to say about that?

00:02:01.300 You know, I could say I don't like them. You could say you don't like them.

00:02:05.880 But here's the only thing that we could add to this.

00:02:08.300 If you think it's the government that is mandating this, you're completely wrong.

00:02:15.380 That's probably what most of you think.

00:02:16.900 You think the government is mandating it.

00:02:23.420 And I would argue that that's only technically true.

00:02:28.380 It is true that the government is mandating it, and they have rules and whatnot.

00:02:34.240 But I remind you, as Rasmussen reminded me today, they've got a new poll, Rasmussen poll.

00:02:41.820 52% of the public surveyed support workers refusing vaccinations.

00:02:50.880 But that means there's a whole bunch of people who don't.

00:02:56.000 So just slightly more than half of the country is in favor of, you know, not doing these mandates.

00:03:04.060 Here's the thing you need to know.

00:03:06.840 If that were 75, it wouldn't be happening.

00:03:10.860 How many disagree with me?

00:03:12.300 So here's the point.

00:03:14.860 Right now, 52% of workers support not making people have to get vaccinations.

00:03:22.820 So they're opposed to the mandate.

00:03:24.700 But only 52%.

00:03:26.080 Hypothetically, if it were 75, would it be happening?

00:03:31.720 Anybody?

00:03:32.580 Does anybody think it would happen if it were 75% were against it?

00:03:36.320 I don't think so.

00:03:41.180 I don't think so.

00:03:42.180 Now, you could disagree where that number is, 75 or 90 or whatever.

00:03:46.300 But my point is, the only reason the government can do this is because the public, by enough people, are on board.

00:03:55.640 Just barely.

00:03:57.420 It feels like it's sort of a slim majority.

00:04:00.040 But you're not dealing with the government.

00:04:02.400 You're dealing with your fellow citizens.

00:04:03.920 If you could convince half of the remaining people who are for mandates to take your side, you'd have 75% people against mandates, and they just wouldn't happen.

00:04:16.700 Does anybody doubt that?

00:04:19.440 That's my take on it.

00:04:20.900 So I think that we often mistake where power is.

00:04:26.780 Power is with the people completely.

00:04:29.660 In this country, that will just always be the case, at least for anything long term.

00:04:33.280 If we need quick decisions, such as a war situation, then we actually prefer the government to do it because it has to be quick.

00:04:41.940 But for these longer term considered topics, we really have the power, completely.

00:04:50.780 But we have to be on the same side or we have nothing.

00:04:53.620 So that's the difference.

00:04:55.620 I suppose if the government can keep us confused and ignorant, they do have the power.

00:04:59.120 There are effectively three political parties now, would you agree?

00:05:06.180 Two of them are called Democrats.

00:05:08.680 You've got your progressives and then your standard Democrats, I guess.

00:05:13.320 But then Republicans are more of a unified.

00:05:15.680 So it's like three different parties.

00:05:18.260 And let me make a suggestion.

00:05:23.700 This has opened up the door, very much so, for a new party.

00:05:29.860 Maybe for the first time.

00:05:31.380 I don't think that a third party really had a choice or a chance.

00:05:35.500 And maybe they still don't.

00:05:37.040 But it's the biggest opening I've seen.

00:05:39.100 Here's how I would do it.

00:05:40.080 This is me running for president as an independent, starting my own third party or fourth party, depending on how you count them.

00:05:49.100 I would call it the middle party.

00:05:53.480 I would call it the middle party.

00:05:56.960 And I would say I oppose the extreme right and the extreme left.

00:06:00.400 And most people do.

00:06:03.840 Unless you're wed to the name on your registration, consider the middle party.

00:06:11.600 Because I'm going to give you stuff that makes sense.

00:06:14.220 I might raise your taxes, a little, but not a lot.

00:06:17.960 And I would do it with the support of economists and lots of support that it makes sense economically.

00:06:24.940 I might do something that would benefit the black population of this country.

00:06:32.060 But it will make sense.

00:06:33.980 It won't be stupid.

00:06:36.620 So don't you think that the right candidate, you'd have to be the right person,

00:06:42.180 but don't you think that the middle party and the name of it is very important?

00:06:46.260 If you say you're some other party, then people say,

00:06:49.360 why do I want to be that?

00:06:50.660 But if you say you're the middle party, guess what?

00:06:53.480 You can stay Republican.

00:06:56.880 You can stay Democrat.

00:06:58.800 You're just voting for the middle.

00:07:00.940 A lot of people like the middle, but they prefer to be a Republican.

00:07:04.460 They prefer to be a Democrat.

00:07:07.180 But they might vote for the middle.

00:07:10.060 So give them something to vote for.

00:07:13.000 And then every time somebody says, you know, what side are you on?

00:07:16.400 You just stake out the middle, the sensible middle, and say,

00:07:19.940 look, this is where the people are.

00:07:21.680 The people are in the sensible middle.

00:07:24.340 Take any topic.

00:07:26.000 Take any topic.

00:07:28.300 The school system.

00:07:30.600 You can say, yeah, we're going to keep our public schools,

00:07:33.320 but we're going to keep the option open for a competition.

00:07:37.500 Totally in the middle.

00:07:38.780 Totally supported.

00:07:40.520 And, you know, you could just go right down the line on different topics.

00:07:44.280 Now, how about abortion?

00:07:45.020 If you're running for president, you have to talk about it.

00:07:48.900 But here's how I'd handle it if I were the head of the middle party.

00:07:52.800 I'd say it's not a federal government decision.

00:07:56.200 And I'm not going to make it one.

00:07:59.420 Because I think the authority for that should be pushed down to the lowest level you can get at the state level, ideally.

00:08:05.260 And I'd just say I'm out.

00:08:08.060 I'm in the middle.

00:08:09.420 Whatever the country wants, state by state, it's fine with me.

00:08:14.480 I think that could win.

00:08:16.060 You'd have to have exactly the right candidate, though.

00:08:19.660 Everybody's talking about why did Youngkin win?

00:08:21.960 Have you noticed that whenever anything happens, there are lots of explanations?

00:08:28.020 When Trump unexpectedly won in 2016, what was the news all about the next day?

00:08:36.840 It was all about why he won.

00:08:39.120 And all the reasons were different.

00:08:40.660 It was all over the place.

00:08:42.260 I think CNN had 14 different reasons he won.

00:08:46.200 But here's the thing.

00:08:47.160 With a big, complicated thing like an election, it's never one thing.

00:08:53.260 It's all of the things.

00:08:55.040 Every one of the things had to be the way they were for him to get the result he did.

00:08:59.420 If any of those things had been different, we're lost.

00:09:03.560 So is it sensible to say there's one thing?

00:09:07.780 Not really.

00:09:09.300 Because it's sort of the haystack thing.

00:09:12.280 It might be the last straw.

00:09:14.740 But it's just one of the straws.

00:09:16.200 Right?

00:09:17.160 Is the last straw the special one?

00:09:20.740 No, it just came last.

00:09:22.440 So there might be something that breaks the logjam there.

00:09:27.100 But it's not special.

00:09:28.440 There's nothing about that one straw.

00:09:31.460 So here are the things people are saying about Youngkins.

00:09:33.780 Number one, it's just a historical pattern.

00:09:37.240 I said this yesterday.

00:09:38.140 It turns out that this is exactly the result you could have predicted based on historical pattern.

00:09:44.740 That if you have a president in one party, Virginia will go to the other party.

00:09:50.040 And eight times in a row it's happened.

00:09:52.300 So that's one way.

00:09:53.480 The other, of course, is that the focus was on critical race theory.

00:09:57.240 But I have a, and, you know, of course, Youngkin ran a good campaign, et cetera.

00:10:03.360 And I think he did a good job of keeping some distance from Trump, and it helped that he didn't have any history as a politician.

00:10:10.980 So those are all good.

00:10:13.320 Again, you can't say there's one reason you want.

00:10:15.560 It's all of those things had to happen.

00:10:17.580 But I would like to add another variable.

00:10:21.340 Just speculation.

00:10:22.180 I have a hypothesis, and maybe somebody's, I haven't Googled this, maybe it's already been tested.

00:10:28.840 But I feel as if I've seen a study where you can show people who don't know who the candidates are,

00:10:37.040 could be some other country where you're not familiar with the candidates,

00:10:40.220 and that people can guess who would win the election by looking at their photographs.

00:10:46.000 Did you know that?

00:10:46.720 That the public, and I need a fact check on this, but I read this a long time ago.

00:10:53.340 I think that people can tell who's going to win an election by looking at the photographs,

00:10:59.060 even without even knowing the names of the candidates or what they're running for.

00:11:03.020 Can somebody confirm that's true?

00:11:04.660 I think that's true.

00:11:06.740 Now, I would add a second factor.

00:11:09.920 I would bet that I, now I don't know if this is generalizable, but probably it is.

00:11:15.120 But I'm just going to say it about myself.

00:11:18.040 I believe that if you gave me audio clips of each candidate in a close-ish race,

00:11:24.900 so it'd have to be a race where you think that both have at least a chance of winning,

00:11:29.420 you know, not blowouts.

00:11:31.240 But in a close race, if you gave me just the audio of each of their speeches for 10 to 15 seconds,

00:11:41.300 it wouldn't matter what part of the, what topic it was.

00:11:45.120 10 to 15 seconds of just hearing them talk, I can pick the winner.

00:11:50.860 That's my claim.

00:11:52.340 Now, not every time, of course, but all that I could get it 75% of the time, plus.

00:11:58.880 What do you think?

00:11:59.980 Do you think I could get that right 75% of the time?

00:12:03.060 I don't know.

00:12:06.180 But if you heard Obama talking and compared him to whoever he ran against,

00:12:10.540 I think you could have picked him.

00:12:13.020 And when I heard an audio of Youngkin talking compared to Terry McAuliffe talking,

00:12:21.840 I said to myself, if this is close, Youngkin's going to win.

00:12:27.500 Because there's something in his voice or his presentation or his confidence or I don't know what it is.

00:12:34.280 I don't know.

00:12:34.760 I don't exactly know what it is.

00:12:36.360 But there's definitely such a thing as command voice, wouldn't you say?

00:12:42.240 Nobody's going to argue with that, right?

00:12:44.180 There is such a thing as command voice.

00:12:48.000 And women have it too, right? 1.00

00:12:49.640 It's not a gender thing. 1.00

00:12:51.300 Women can have a command voice. 1.00

00:12:52.920 If you've ever worked for a really good female boss, oh, they have it. 1.00

00:12:59.620 They have command voice.

00:13:00.940 It's just the female version of it. 1.00

00:13:03.060 But it's command voice.

00:13:05.020 And I thought Youngkin had command voice.

00:13:07.480 And I thought McAuliffe was weak there.

00:13:09.600 So when I heard it, I thought, whoa, that doesn't even sound close to me.

00:13:12.860 It looks like one good candidate and one not so good.

00:13:16.180 Just on that.

00:13:17.320 15 seconds of voice.

00:13:19.480 And I said to myself, I think this guy's going to win.

00:13:21.880 And I wasn't even following the race.

00:13:24.580 Command presence.

00:13:25.700 I guess that's the better phrase for it, right?

00:13:30.340 All right.

00:13:31.500 We have some more fun stuff going on.

00:13:34.800 AP did a fact check today.

00:13:38.360 See if you agree with this fact check.

00:13:40.860 What do you think?

00:13:42.340 AP says posts continue to circulate online falsely claiming that COVID-19 survivors

00:13:49.800 don't need vaccines because of natural immunity.

00:13:53.140 In fact, says the AP fact checkers, that protection is variable and not long-lasting.

00:14:00.500 So vaccines are still recommended.

00:14:03.020 Here's our recent look at the blah, blah, blah.

00:14:04.440 So here's my take on that.

00:14:08.460 Here's the exact claim that if you've already been infected and recovered, that your protection

00:14:17.920 is variable and not long-lasting.

00:14:21.340 Is that true?

00:14:22.280 So before we get to all of it, the bigger picture, is the limited claim correct that natural

00:14:30.000 immunity is variable?

00:14:32.740 Well, first of all, we'll just ask you, is it variable?

00:14:35.300 Do you think there are people with good natural immunity and some with not so good?

00:14:39.260 It's true, right?

00:14:40.400 So I would say that's true.

00:14:41.960 People have variable.

00:14:43.820 It's variable.

00:14:44.380 And it's also not long-lasting.

00:14:49.340 Well, what's that mean?

00:14:51.160 What does not long-lasting mean?

00:14:53.780 Well, it means anything they want it to.

00:14:55.580 So I'm not going to say it's false, because wouldn't you like your immunity to last forever?

00:15:01.380 You would, right?

00:15:02.260 So the standard that would make you happy is it will last forever, because there are other

00:15:06.160 immunities that seem to last forever.

00:15:08.140 And they're saying that this doesn't do that.

00:15:10.220 So it's not long enough to make us happy.

00:15:14.360 Is that fair?

00:15:15.220 Is it fair to say that unlike other types of natural immunity, it wouldn't be as good?

00:15:25.280 All right.

00:15:26.180 But now let's talk about the vaccination itself.

00:15:29.080 Yeah, you're getting ahead of me.

00:15:30.580 The vaccination itself, is that variable?

00:15:34.780 Yes, it is.

00:15:36.160 Same as natural immunity.

00:15:37.520 Is everybody on the same page so far that there's great individual variability, both

00:15:43.380 in natural immunity and in vaccine immunity?

00:15:46.720 We're all on the same page on that, right?

00:15:48.680 Variability.

00:15:49.500 So no difference there, in the sense that they're both variable.

00:15:53.860 It might be a different variability, but plenty enough to say that they're similar.

00:15:59.100 How about whether vaccinations themselves are long-lasting?

00:16:04.240 Well, no.

00:16:05.280 That's why we get boosters.

00:16:06.320 So you've got vaccinations that are not, that are very variable.

00:16:11.440 They're variable, let's say.

00:16:13.540 Vaccinations are variable and not long-lasting.

00:16:16.220 Natural immunity is also variable and not long-lasting.

00:16:19.740 So do you say to yourself, therefore, therefore I should not get a vaccination?

00:16:25.860 Because these are two things that are the same.

00:16:28.060 They're both variable and they're both not long-lasting.

00:16:32.780 Is that good thinking?

00:16:33.860 Now, we're going to talk about vaccine side effects, but for the moment, is that good thinking?

00:16:43.080 It's not good thinking, right?

00:16:45.220 So I'm going to just help you on the thinking part of it here, right?

00:16:50.200 Your opinion is your own, and none of us are going to have enough really information for,

00:16:54.640 in my opinion, to have an informed opinion.

00:16:58.720 There's a little bit of guessing.

00:16:59.860 All right, here's what the difference is.

00:17:02.540 If you get the vaccination, do you have the option of giving yourself natural immunity on top of it?

00:17:10.020 Well, accidentally, or I suppose you could, but generally that's not going to happen, right?

00:17:13.960 You're not going to intentionally get infected.

00:17:16.920 Most people aren't.

00:17:18.540 Some might.

00:17:19.960 Whereas if you get natural immunity, you could make the decision to get vaccinated or not.

00:17:25.240 So they don't work equally in both directions.

00:17:28.000 Are we okay so far?

00:17:29.860 They're not equivalent, because in one case you can get both in a logical, rational way.

00:17:36.380 In the other case, you wouldn't get both, because you got your natural immunity, and you say,

00:17:42.940 no, no more.

00:17:44.260 I don't need any more.

00:17:46.080 Okay?

00:17:46.840 So there's a little bit of difference.

00:17:49.260 But here's my argument.

00:17:52.060 When it comes to antibodies, aren't more better?

00:17:55.460 Does anybody disagree with that, that having more antibodies would be better?

00:18:00.540 Now, we will talk about the risks, so hold that.

00:18:03.860 I'm not going to forget about them.

00:18:04.900 But when you say more antibodies, they're better than fewer.

00:18:08.880 So what would be the argument not to have both?

00:18:13.800 Both gives you more antibodies, right?

00:18:15.960 So whether you have good natural protection or not, you get a little extra, a little turbo boost.

00:18:23.160 So is the government wrong in saying that being naturally immune, since they can't tell if it's a good one,

00:18:30.180 a good immunity or a weak immunity, and they can't tell how long it'll last, would it not be good risk management?

00:18:37.780 If the vaccines were perfectly safe, and we'll talk about the risk, but if they were perfectly safe, wouldn't it make sense to do both?

00:18:47.680 And that's not the case.

00:18:51.240 There's no such thing as a vaccine that's perfectly safe.

00:18:54.580 But if it were, wouldn't you say that getting a little extra would help you?

00:19:00.440 I would say that's just math.

00:19:03.080 That's just addition.

00:19:03.880 You can't argue that this much immunity is better than this much immunity plus a little extra, right?

00:19:12.340 There's no argument for that.

00:19:14.060 That's just math.

00:19:14.740 It's like money.

00:19:16.400 What's better, $20 or $100?

00:19:18.800 There's no argument $100 is better than $20.

00:19:22.840 With antibodies, I don't think there's an argument, is there?

00:19:26.920 I mean, I'm open to it, but I haven't heard one.

00:19:29.140 Isn't more antibodies better?

00:19:32.320 Right?

00:19:32.560 So it really comes down to the extra risk, doesn't it, wouldn't you say?

00:19:37.740 The extra risk of the vaccination.

00:19:41.380 And I would think that a person who has natural immunity should make their own fucking decision about whether they get vaccinated.

00:19:53.400 Because the government can't tell you what your extra risk is,

00:19:56.800 nor can they tell you if you have enough immunity that you're in good shape with or without a vaccination.

00:20:02.560 They're not testing your antibodies or how long they're going to last.

00:20:05.460 They don't know.

00:20:06.340 And you don't know either.

00:20:07.300 If the government doesn't know what's up with you, and you don't know what's up with you,

00:20:12.120 because you don't know if your natural immunity is the good kind or the bad kind.

00:20:15.820 You don't really know if those extra vaccinations would give you any protection.

00:20:19.640 But you do know there's a risk.

00:20:21.740 You don't know how big it is, because nobody knows.

00:20:24.520 But you've got to risk.

00:20:27.660 Right?

00:20:30.260 All right.

00:20:31.740 So I would say that the argument is squarely on the side of letting people with natural immunity decide for themselves whether they want vaccinations.

00:20:41.220 And AP Fact Check might be technically true, but I feel like it's leaving out some variables here.

00:20:50.380 All right.

00:20:54.400 So there was a Twitter user, Ward QNormal.

00:21:00.100 I don't think that's his real name.

00:21:01.780 Maybe it is.

00:21:02.300 I don't know.

00:21:03.040 But he says, I will pay you $1,000.

00:21:05.920 He was replying to somebody else.

00:21:07.600 If you can define critical race theory and point to a single K-12 school in Virginia that has ever taught it.

00:21:16.260 So there's $1,000.

00:21:18.260 If you can define critical race theory and point to a single time it's been taught, do you think you could do that?

00:21:25.500 Well, every Republican thinks they can do that and get that $1,000 you think he'll pay?

00:21:30.720 No, he will not.

00:21:32.140 Because no matter what you point to, what's he going to say?

00:21:35.500 That's not critical race theory.

00:21:39.380 And you'll say, well, but look at this.

00:21:42.820 Here's the book.

00:21:43.680 It's like totally based on critical race theory.

00:21:46.660 And what would Ward QNormal say when you asked for your $1,000 having proven it beyond a shadow of a doubt?

00:21:54.060 Ward QNormal would say, no, that's not critical race theory.

00:21:58.300 No.

00:21:59.160 No, you're mistaken.

00:22:00.080 That's just history.

00:22:01.720 You're just reading history.

00:22:02.660 So we have this weird situation where we have this thing that can't be defined by ordinary people.

00:22:10.540 I do believe experts could probably define it if they study this thing.

00:22:14.640 But for ordinary people, they seem to be confused.

00:22:18.220 And therefore, there seems to be some issue that the Democrats are arguing, no, no, it's imaginary.

00:22:24.380 It's not really there.

00:22:25.080 Well, let me tell you what people are really good at identifying.

00:22:30.780 People are not really good at identifying if something fits a definition.

00:22:35.960 So we're kind of arguing the definition of critical race theory.

00:22:38.840 We're not good at that.

00:22:40.220 But I'll tell you what we are good at.

00:22:42.080 We are good at knowing if the curriculum is anti-white. 0.94

00:22:45.720 I think we'd be good at knowing if it was anti-anything.

00:22:50.160 Because that's pretty easy to spot.

00:22:52.560 I don't care what it's called.

00:22:54.860 You can call it critical race theory if you want.

00:22:58.920 Call it anything you want.

00:23:00.660 But if it's anti-any ethnicity, doesn't matter which one, you've got to get rid of it.

00:23:06.580 There's no wiggle room there.

00:23:11.080 If it's racist, doesn't matter which race you're targeting, you've got to get rid of it.

00:23:16.540 That's not debatable.

00:23:19.020 So here's how CNN refers to it.

00:23:25.720 They say the term critical race theory refers to the academic concept that racism has been

00:23:31.400 systematically ingrained in American society following centuries of slavery.

00:23:36.580 And I would say that most people would agree that that's what critical race theory is.

00:23:41.560 Would you agree?

00:23:43.000 That the big picture, that's what it is.

00:23:45.040 But the issue is, when they try to break it down into its lessons, what's it turn into?

00:23:51.660 And what it turns into is something else when you turn it into action.

00:24:03.300 And conservatives are claiming that critical race theory...

00:24:06.300 teaches children to think the United States is racist.

00:24:09.600 Now, isn't that true?

00:24:12.680 These are two sentences, both from an opinion piece on CNN today, by Manu Raju, Alex Rogers, and Melanie Zanona.

00:24:21.860 And see if these two sentences, and they're both right together, make sense to you.

00:24:26.740 They say the term critical race theory, blah, blah, blah, blah, means that racism has been systematically

00:24:34.080 ingrained in American society.

00:24:36.620 And then they say, but conservatives are claiming it teaches children to think the United States

00:24:42.160 is racist. 0.81

00:24:44.040 But isn't that what they just said?

00:24:45.540 They just said that critical race theory says that we have systemic racism.

00:24:52.380 And then they're blaming, acting like conservatives are dumb, for saying it teaches you that the

00:24:57.840 United States is racist.

00:25:00.180 Isn't that exactly what they just said?

00:25:02.000 I mean, you could say it's the system, but then that's the United States.

00:25:11.140 It doesn't mean every person is necessarily racist, but...

00:25:14.660 All right.

00:25:16.000 We'll get back to that in a minute.

00:25:17.300 So Biden doesn't think he influences gas prices.

00:25:21.100 Or no, Paul Krugman.

00:25:22.760 So Nobel winner, Nobel economic, Nobel in economics.

00:25:27.860 Winner Paul Krugman says, voters shouldn't be mad at Biden because he has no control over

00:25:32.760 the price of gasoline.

00:25:36.660 What?

00:25:38.340 You think the president has no control over our energy policy?

00:25:42.820 Pretty sure he does.

00:25:44.120 As Michael Schellenberger noted, the U.S. is the world's largest producer of oil, and

00:25:52.560 Biden froze new oil and gas leases in January, and he may be opening the strategic petroleum

00:25:59.220 reserve to lower prices.

00:26:01.600 So he certainly has control, some control, not complete control, of course.

00:26:08.160 And then I would think that any push toward green and penalizing oil would be a good 0.84

00:26:14.100 you know, have an impact, et cetera.

00:26:16.920 Well, we got a great, I think it's a drunk tweet from Cher, performer Cher.

00:26:22.640 I want to show you, you can see her, these are the all caps craziness.

00:26:27.840 And I'm going to read her tweet that, again, is in all caps.

00:26:31.640 But I'm going to read it in the character of a drunk person.

00:26:35.000 Because I don't think you can read this sober.

00:26:38.540 I think it needs to be drunk.

00:26:42.540 Allow me to get in character for a moment.

00:26:44.400 And now, I read this as Cher after five martinis, tweeting in all caps,

00:26:54.800 Joe works tireless to, to, number two, work with Kong and Pespils to help everyday Americans. 0.97

00:27:02.520 And he's, yeah, from right, left, they cause gridlock.

00:27:06.900 Well, GOP says some plans, how to pick our bones clean if we fail GOP or Nazis and lockstep. 0.85

00:27:15.980 It's different between them and from...

00:27:17.940 I assume she passed down toward the end of that.

00:27:23.180 I don't know.

00:27:23.680 But never, never drink and tweet.

00:27:27.280 Don't be a Cher.

00:27:30.420 Here's some fake news that you think is true.

00:27:34.340 And it turns on the word considering.

00:27:37.980 Let me give you a little primer story.

00:27:41.960 One day, in the context of dealing with some medical issue of no consequence,

00:27:48.540 my doctor just somewhat routinely asked me if I ever had thoughts of suicide

00:27:56.120 or had I ever considered suicide.

00:28:00.000 And I said, sure, every day.

00:28:03.260 And I didn't realize that was the wrong answer.

00:28:06.580 Because it turns out if you say that, which, of course, is true,

00:28:11.620 I do consider it every day.

00:28:13.140 And then I rule it out.

00:28:15.280 Do you know what else I consider?

00:28:16.440 I consider jumping off the roof just to see if I can fly under my own power.

00:28:22.380 I think about that every day.

00:28:24.580 And then I rule it out.

00:28:26.980 I consider everything.

00:28:29.200 What the hell do you not consider?

00:28:31.820 Do you remember when Trump famously was asked if he was considering

00:28:36.240 firing somebody in his administration at some press release?

00:28:40.440 And Trump quite accurately said, I consider firing everybody.

00:28:44.940 That's the right answer.

00:28:46.440 It's a perfect answer, by the way.

00:28:48.260 Trump does not get nearly enough credit for the answers that he does that are perfect.

00:28:53.780 Because, you know, the ones that are provocative and more fun.

00:28:56.460 But that's a perfect answer.

00:28:58.020 Yes.

00:28:58.740 I consider firing every person on my staff every day.

00:29:02.520 That's the only right answer.

00:29:03.660 So, here's the fake news.

00:29:07.020 That the government, or I guess the DOJ, is considering, considering, I say, based on the ACLU talking to the DOJ,

00:29:19.540 they considered or discussed paying $450,000 apiece to every immigrant separated from their families at the border under Trump.

00:29:29.180 Now, do you think that's true news or fake news, that it was considered true news or fake?

00:29:38.620 Well, when Biden was asked by Fox News if it was true, Biden says, it's garbage.

00:29:46.180 He says, no, it's not true, it's garbage.

00:29:49.680 Now, the ACLU immediately said, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:29:52.500 We are literally talking to the Department of Justice right now, and we are literally, right now, discussing $450,000 payments.

00:30:03.920 So, who's right?

00:30:05.520 Biden or the ACLU?

00:30:08.160 Go.

00:30:09.340 Who's right?

00:30:10.740 Which one has the right take on it?

00:30:15.960 Both.

00:30:17.240 They're both right.

00:30:18.160 Biden is 100% right, because he's looking at it politically, I assume.

00:30:24.360 And he is quite correctly saying there's no frickin' way this is going to happen.

00:30:28.780 Do you know why it's not going to happen?

00:30:31.460 Because it would destroy the Democratic Party forever.

00:30:35.440 It would be the end.

00:30:36.880 Do you think Biden doesn't know that?

00:30:39.380 Do you think he can maintain the black vote if he doesn't do reparations, 0.80

00:30:43.720 but he pays $450,000 to the immigrants coming across?

00:30:47.240 Do you think he can keep the black vote if he does that? 0.97

00:30:50.940 It's the end of the Democratic Party.

00:30:53.440 So, what do you say, Scott?

00:30:55.720 But, it's been confirmed.

00:30:58.960 The ACLU confirmed it.

00:31:01.040 Yeah, they're considering it.

00:31:03.100 They're considering it just like I consider taking my own life every single day.

00:31:08.600 It's things you think about that never happen.

00:31:10.460 So, now, of course, you might say to yourself,

00:31:15.160 well, it might be, you know, a smaller number.

00:31:18.920 Well, they could try.

00:31:21.500 But suppose they talked it down to, let's just pick a number,

00:31:24.760 450,000.

00:31:26.160 I saw somebody on Twitter said,

00:31:28.040 maybe they could get it down to 80,000 apiece.

00:31:31.880 Is that still okay?

00:31:33.240 Do you think Biden's going to want Democrats to run again,

00:31:38.180 knowing that the Democratic government gave people who broke a law in this country

00:31:43.760 $80,000 apiece because we inconvenienced them?

00:31:47.020 I mean, it's more than an inconvenience,

00:31:49.160 but, you know, I'm speaking sort of hyperbolic here.

00:31:53.160 No.

00:31:53.800 No.

00:31:54.180 The Democratic Party would just be out of business completely,

00:31:56.840 even more than they probably are.

00:31:58.460 We'll talk about that.

00:31:59.220 But, in my opinion, it is so completely politically impossible

00:32:04.320 that Biden was telling the absolute truth.

00:32:07.460 I think Biden's answer that it was garbage is the accurate one,

00:32:11.820 politically speaking.

00:32:13.180 Now, of course, the DOJ can act independently, right?

00:32:17.620 But it looks like the Republicans are going to do a bill

00:32:20.160 and maybe stop the payments even if the DOJ wanted to, blah, blah, blah.

00:32:24.860 So there will be plenty of machinations that will stop this from happening.

00:32:30.280 I don't think you have to worry about it.

00:32:32.300 So it's semi-fake news.

00:32:34.300 It's true and false at the same time.

00:32:38.640 Tom Elliott tweeted a little clip

00:32:41.920 in which former Obama campaign manager Stephanie Cutter

00:32:45.700 was talking about the election in Virginia,

00:32:48.680 and she said,

00:32:49.160 the one thing that we need to make sure of

00:32:51.420 is that Republicans in 2022

00:32:53.500 don't become the party of parents 0.79

00:32:56.380 because the Democrats know they're in trouble

00:33:00.280 if the Republicans become obviously

00:33:04.020 the ones who are taking care of children

00:33:05.620 and the Democrats are not.

00:33:08.000 Is she right?

00:33:10.300 Well, too late.

00:33:13.680 Too late.

00:33:14.980 As Mr. Durr noted,

00:33:20.080 the truck driver who won his race,

00:33:22.840 as Mr. Durr notes, Durr,

00:33:27.420 he said that the Democrats went too far

00:33:31.560 because they were messing with our children.

00:33:35.120 So the truck driver,

00:33:36.800 an established incumbent,

00:33:40.140 presumably on the message,

00:33:41.620 stop messing with our children.

00:33:43.740 Now, he said messing.

00:33:45.920 I used the F word.

00:33:47.800 But, again,

00:33:51.100 the Democrats have this blind spot

00:33:53.160 about how Republicans think

00:33:55.100 that I don't know is the same on the other side.

00:33:58.080 It might be.

00:33:58.900 You know, maybe that works both ways.

00:34:01.700 But there's a gigantic blind spot.

00:34:05.500 Let me give you this.

00:34:06.300 There are two blind spots.

00:34:08.440 Number one,

00:34:09.760 and I've talked about this,

00:34:10.940 when Alec Baldwin

00:34:12.940 had his tragic firearms accident there.

00:34:16.360 And people on the left

00:34:18.000 could not understand

00:34:19.060 why people on the right

00:34:20.080 were saying,

00:34:21.120 no, it's Alec Baldwin's responsibility, period,

00:34:24.220 when logical, rational people

00:34:26.100 were saying,

00:34:26.480 wait a minute, rationally?

00:34:28.440 He was part of a system

00:34:29.620 in which that responsibility

00:34:31.280 was delegated.

00:34:32.800 It's a mature system,

00:34:34.240 works all the time.

00:34:35.160 There's a reason they do it.

00:34:37.020 Should have been safe.

00:34:37.880 He made a reasonable decision.

00:34:39.480 There's no liability.

00:34:41.760 Now, what's every gun owner say?

00:34:44.500 Blah, blah, blah.

00:34:45.500 He had the gun in his hand.

00:34:46.560 It's his responsibility, period.

00:34:49.260 Blah, blah, blah.

00:34:50.580 Now, the left can't understand that

00:34:52.600 because they're like,

00:34:53.260 ah, don't you understand

00:34:55.080 that clearly there can be exceptions?

00:34:59.380 Right?

00:34:59.580 You can make an exception.

00:35:01.160 Use your common sense

00:35:02.280 and make an exception.

00:35:03.980 And the exception in this case

00:35:06.200 would be

00:35:06.720 the safety had been delegated

00:35:09.920 to somebody

00:35:10.520 who's a professional

00:35:11.720 to make sure it's safe.

00:35:13.560 That should have been good enough.

00:35:15.160 Common sense.

00:35:16.820 And then the gun owners say,

00:35:19.040 the gun was in his hand,

00:35:20.060 it's his responsibility.

00:35:21.500 That's the end of the conversation.

00:35:23.640 Who's right?

00:35:25.580 Well,

00:35:27.260 there's a weird hybrid going on here.

00:35:29.480 I believe that gun owners

00:35:31.300 are rationally irrational.

00:35:35.740 Here's what I mean.

00:35:37.200 The moment you say,

00:35:38.580 you know,

00:35:39.140 this isn't an absolute.

00:35:41.900 You know,

00:35:42.220 we're going to say

00:35:42.840 there are gun safety rules

00:35:44.560 and responsibilities and stuff,

00:35:46.560 but use your common sense.

00:35:48.740 So what happens

00:35:49.560 the first time you say

00:35:50.520 use your common sense?

00:35:52.280 How does that work out?

00:35:54.000 Well, here's common sense.

00:35:55.300 Don't leave a loaded gun

00:35:56.600 around where there are children.

00:35:59.480 Like you wouldn't leave it

00:36:00.480 on your table loaded

00:36:01.520 if any kids were in the room, right?

00:36:03.680 Common sense.

00:36:04.600 No gun owner 0.92

00:36:05.540 who was responsible

00:36:06.860 would do that.

00:36:07.920 But let's say

00:36:08.460 you use the other standard,

00:36:09.840 common sense.

00:36:11.440 Does everybody have

00:36:12.300 the same amount of common sense?

00:36:15.200 I don't think so.

00:36:16.800 You don't think

00:36:17.400 that that would give permission

00:36:18.760 for somebody to say,

00:36:20.180 yeah, it's available to the kid,

00:36:21.880 but it's not going to happen

00:36:22.760 because I'm closer to the table

00:36:24.700 than the children are.

00:36:26.140 And if I see the children

00:36:27.100 go for the gun, 0.84

00:36:27.920 I'll just get there first.

00:36:29.480 I'm just using my common sense.

00:36:31.060 There's no way

00:36:31.500 they're going to get the gun,

00:36:33.080 even though it's just

00:36:33.820 sitting right out there

00:36:34.660 because I'm closer

00:36:35.640 to the table.

00:36:37.220 Common sense people,

00:36:38.440 if my kid is heading

00:36:39.520 toward the table,

00:36:40.400 I'm going to protect the gun.

00:36:42.600 And then what happens?

00:36:43.860 Boom.

00:36:45.120 Right?

00:36:46.200 You lose your concentration,

00:36:47.680 you walk away,

00:36:48.280 a kid picks up the gun,

00:36:49.320 in trouble.

00:36:49.580 So, I believe gun owners

00:36:52.540 pursue something

00:36:54.080 I would call

00:36:54.740 rational irrationality

00:36:57.440 because it works.

00:36:59.680 It is irrational

00:37:00.960 to say there never

00:37:01.860 can be an exception.

00:37:03.800 The reason they do it

00:37:04.940 is because it works.

00:37:06.400 Right?

00:37:07.980 It's an irrational system

00:37:09.860 that's the only one

00:37:10.680 that works.

00:37:11.560 So, gun owners know that.

00:37:13.300 So, when you argue,

00:37:14.420 no, the responsibility

00:37:15.760 was somebody else,

00:37:17.160 gun owners don't even 0.98

00:37:17.980 want to have the conversation

00:37:18.960 because you don't want

00:37:20.220 to open that door a crack.

00:37:22.120 Not even a crack

00:37:23.340 because as soon as you say

00:37:24.880 common sense is the standard,

00:37:27.740 people get killed.

00:37:29.540 Every gun owner knows that.

00:37:30.980 Now, how many people

00:37:32.340 on the left

00:37:32.940 could have explained it

00:37:34.720 with the nuance

00:37:36.000 that I just explained it?

00:37:37.760 Not many.

00:37:39.020 In fact, I've never heard it.

00:37:41.060 Right?

00:37:44.740 So, let's see.

00:37:46.680 That was going to...

00:37:47.880 Dovetail into a really

00:37:49.560 good point.

00:37:53.860 Probably.

00:37:54.680 Oh, here was the point.

00:37:56.440 The other blind spot

00:37:57.380 that the Democrats have

00:37:58.800 is the flexibility

00:38:01.140 of Republicans.

00:38:03.580 Am I right?

00:38:05.120 Because, you know,

00:38:06.280 you can poke them forever,

00:38:08.080 it seems like.

00:38:09.220 You know, they'll poke you.

00:38:10.260 Oh, you have to use this word.

00:38:11.860 I hate that word.

00:38:13.160 You have to use it anyway.

00:38:14.620 You have to use this word.

00:38:15.860 Ah, but I don't want to.

00:38:17.360 What?

00:38:17.680 Yeah, I'm poking you

00:38:18.720 a little bit.

00:38:19.600 And then the conservatives

00:38:20.400 say, you know,

00:38:21.800 I've got better things to do.

00:38:23.200 I'm not going to...

00:38:24.240 I'm not going to die

00:38:25.340 on that hill.

00:38:26.560 And then they say,

00:38:27.100 you know,

00:38:27.820 you're going to raise

00:38:28.220 your taxes a little bit.

00:38:29.240 Just a little bit.

00:38:30.100 We're going to raise

00:38:30.500 your taxes.

00:38:31.580 And the Republicans say,

00:38:32.280 hey, we hate that.

00:38:32.820 We hate that.

00:38:33.300 Ah, you know,

00:38:34.660 I've got a lot

00:38:35.260 to work on today.

00:38:36.080 I'm not going to dedicate

00:38:37.860 my life to this

00:38:38.720 one little area of life.

00:38:40.380 And next to you now,

00:38:41.820 they're just pushing,

00:38:42.480 pushing, pushing, pushed. 0.83

00:38:43.460 And that's what's been

00:38:44.120 happening, it seems, lately.

00:38:47.040 But here's the blind spot.

00:38:51.020 Republicans are not flexible

00:38:52.640 about children.

00:38:55.200 That's the red line.

00:38:57.480 Have you heard of abortion?

00:39:00.780 Republicans are not flexible

00:39:03.120 about children

00:39:04.540 and their safety and well-being

00:39:06.800 and their education especially.

00:39:08.860 And as soon as the Democrats

00:39:10.900 crossed that line

00:39:11.840 and said, you know,

00:39:13.140 how about we educate

00:39:14.760 your children the way

00:39:15.560 we want to,

00:39:16.240 and by the way,

00:39:16.800 we're going to turn them

00:39:17.500 against you.

00:39:18.400 We're going to tell your children

00:39:19.560 that you're a racist. 0.78

00:39:21.520 Your parents.

00:39:22.820 We're going to tell

00:39:23.400 your children

00:39:24.260 that you're a racist

00:39:26.180 and you don't understand

00:39:27.140 science and climate change

00:39:28.460 and everything else.

00:39:30.500 That's the red line.

00:39:32.800 Everything on the other side

00:39:33.960 of the red line

00:39:34.580 is different from everything

00:39:35.760 on the other side.

00:39:36.800 Everything on the other side,

00:39:39.420 a little bit flexible

00:39:40.840 or at least maybe

00:39:42.320 not willing to fight for it.

00:39:44.400 Everything on the other

00:39:45.460 side of the line,

00:39:46.780 that's game over.

00:39:49.100 That's game over.

00:39:50.680 So in my opinion,

00:39:51.560 2022 and 2024

00:39:53.340 are largely already decided

00:39:55.660 because the Democrats,

00:39:58.380 you could call it an overreach,

00:40:00.340 but that really would be

00:40:01.700 minimizing how big

00:40:02.680 of a problem this is.

00:40:04.720 The Republicans

00:40:06.400 are now squarely

00:40:07.640 the party that's going

00:40:09.360 to protect your kids

00:40:10.300 as well as their own.

00:40:11.800 There's no question

00:40:12.480 about that now.

00:40:13.680 And not only that,

00:40:14.960 but they have the perfect

00:40:15.960 opening to partner

00:40:17.080 with the black 0.54

00:40:18.100 American public

00:40:19.500 to fix schools

00:40:21.460 because everybody wins

00:40:22.840 then, right?

00:40:23.380 So, you know,

00:40:26.440 of course it's always

00:40:27.440 dangerous to make predictions

00:40:28.500 more than a day in advance,

00:40:30.720 and even that's dangerous.

00:40:32.000 So lots of things could change

00:40:33.360 between now and elections,

00:40:34.760 especially if, you know,

00:40:36.000 Trump makes some big waves

00:40:38.260 somehow.

00:40:38.560 But at this point,

00:40:41.440 the Republicans have

00:40:42.300 a death grip on power.

00:40:44.780 It'll take a while

00:40:45.520 for the elections

00:40:46.120 to, you know,

00:40:46.980 make that happen.

00:40:47.960 But I don't see

00:40:48.820 how a Republican can lose

00:40:50.240 unless they're trying

00:40:51.100 at this point.

00:40:52.480 Because all you have to do

00:40:53.600 is say,

00:40:54.520 they're destroying

00:40:55.240 your children,

00:40:55.860 we're protecting them.

00:40:57.500 What do you care about?

00:40:58.880 It's kind of over.

00:40:59.800 Here's a question.

00:41:06.300 If China wanted 0.91

00:41:07.060 to destroy the West, 0.87

00:41:08.540 but they had lots of patience,

00:41:09.920 how would they do it?

00:41:11.220 Well, there are lots of ways

00:41:12.160 to do it.

00:41:13.740 But I would think

00:41:14.320 the main way they'd do it

00:41:15.460 would be to destroy

00:41:19.140 our most powerful,

00:41:21.320 let's say,

00:41:22.040 social cohesion.

00:41:24.160 And what is the most powerful

00:41:25.760 social cohesion

00:41:27.020 in this country?

00:41:28.180 Well, marriage was

00:41:30.460 for a long time.

00:41:31.720 And we see that

00:41:32.420 falling apart.

00:41:34.760 But the other one

00:41:35.680 is the melting pot idea.

00:41:38.380 You know,

00:41:38.740 when I grew up,

00:41:40.060 and many of you as well,

00:41:41.860 we were really brainwashed

00:41:44.020 into saying that

00:41:45.180 the melting pot

00:41:45.900 was our strength

00:41:46.940 and our power

00:41:47.540 and to respect it.

00:41:49.100 And I think I did.

00:41:50.780 I think the brainwashing worked.

00:41:52.520 I'm happy about that.

00:41:53.520 I mean, I call it brainwashing

00:41:54.660 because children

00:41:55.800 shouldn't be making

00:41:56.580 their own decisions

00:41:57.400 about the big stuff.

00:42:00.160 You kind of have

00:42:01.040 to brainwash them.

00:42:01.860 Later, you hope

00:42:02.580 that they can, you know,

00:42:03.520 think for themselves.

00:42:04.900 Probably not.

00:42:06.120 But there isn't

00:42:06.960 a system better than that

00:42:07.920 because children

00:42:08.420 can't really make

00:42:09.260 big decisions.

00:42:11.320 If I were China

00:42:12.300 and I wanted to ruin

00:42:13.360 the West,

00:42:14.220 I would fund anybody,

00:42:16.600 either secretly

00:42:17.420 or not secretly,

00:42:18.440 who pushed

00:42:19.360 critical race theory.

00:42:20.560 That would be

00:42:22.660 with a way

00:42:23.140 for China

00:42:23.760 to destroy

00:42:24.420 the country

00:42:24.980 because it would

00:42:26.320 destroy the melting pot.

00:42:28.380 You know,

00:42:28.600 we all at least

00:42:29.960 have equal opportunity.

00:42:31.820 Even if you think

00:42:32.660 that's not true,

00:42:33.440 it's a good fiction

00:42:34.620 to hold a country together.

00:42:37.100 And so,

00:42:38.740 I would strongly wonder

00:42:40.020 if China is

00:42:41.680 at all behind it,

00:42:43.380 whether they thought

00:42:44.100 of it.

00:42:45.480 I have to wonder

00:42:46.720 because China

00:42:48.160 is more

00:42:48.700 ethnically similar.

00:42:51.980 Give me a fact check

00:42:52.940 on that.

00:42:53.320 I think so.

00:42:54.660 That feels right.

00:42:56.240 So,

00:42:56.580 it would be an advantage

00:42:57.300 to them

00:42:57.780 if they could get

00:42:58.420 our melting pot

00:42:59.180 to fall apart

00:42:59.940 and it looks like

00:43:00.600 they're working on that

00:43:01.440 or somebody is

00:43:02.300 or it's just happening.

00:43:03.400 I don't know.

00:43:04.000 But it looks like

00:43:04.680 it kind of,

00:43:06.100 it's so corrosive

00:43:07.100 it looks like

00:43:07.580 it's coming from an enemy.

00:43:08.780 It doesn't look like

00:43:09.420 it's coming from within.

00:43:14.520 Rachel Maddow

00:43:15.380 is complaining about

00:43:16.520 Fox News saying

00:43:18.460 they're building

00:43:18.900 a campaign platform

00:43:20.120 talking about CRT

00:43:21.720 as a big topic.

00:43:23.240 They're building

00:43:23.580 a campaign platform

00:43:24.620 for conservative candidates

00:43:26.100 to run on it

00:43:26.740 everywhere.

00:43:28.100 And then she says

00:43:28.740 even though it's not

00:43:29.520 actually taught anywhere.

00:43:32.320 Even though it's

00:43:33.240 not a real thing.

00:43:35.140 Here's the thing.

00:43:36.740 If she has to hide

00:43:37.940 behind the definition

00:43:39.000 of the word,

00:43:39.900 that's her argument.

00:43:41.680 That I define it

00:43:42.640 differently.

00:43:43.600 She's not even

00:43:44.180 talking about the content

00:43:45.160 or the reality of it.

00:43:46.520 Just, you know,

00:43:47.820 can I define this

00:43:49.060 as CRT

00:43:49.620 or is it just

00:43:50.380 stuff we say

00:43:51.560 that happens to be

00:43:52.200 in the same topic

00:43:52.900 and compatible with it?

00:43:55.760 I feel that that's,

00:43:57.220 it's like a sign

00:43:58.640 of knowing

00:43:59.420 you've got nothing.

00:44:00.940 I mean,

00:44:01.180 knowing your gun

00:44:01.780 is empty basically.

00:44:03.540 And all the GOP

00:44:05.820 has to do

00:44:06.560 to prove anybody wrong

00:44:08.460 is point to

00:44:09.040 any example of it.

00:44:10.180 And apparently

00:44:10.600 there are lots of them.

00:44:11.940 You know,

00:44:12.120 you can find

00:44:12.580 the school documents

00:44:13.960 that show pretty clearly

00:44:15.160 things that look

00:44:16.660 like CRT

00:44:17.400 to people

00:44:17.880 who have not

00:44:18.480 studied CRT.

00:44:20.040 So the Republicans

00:44:21.120 have this total

00:44:22.160 winning play here.

00:44:23.820 They can just

00:44:24.380 keep hammering

00:44:25.120 on this CRT thing

00:44:26.340 and I think

00:44:27.940 it's going to work

00:44:28.900 for a long time.

00:44:30.460 Now,

00:44:30.740 there are lots

00:44:31.120 of topics

00:44:31.700 where people

00:44:34.320 are equally

00:44:34.980 incentivized

00:44:36.420 on both sides.

00:44:37.960 Take abortion.

00:44:39.400 The people

00:44:39.860 who are pro

00:44:40.460 or anti-abortion

00:44:41.580 are really worked up

00:44:42.960 about it, right?

00:44:43.540 So I'm not even sure

00:44:44.900 which way that works

00:44:47.740 election-wise

00:44:48.700 because people

00:44:49.680 are equally worked up

00:44:50.860 on both sides.

00:44:51.940 But this is a weird topic

00:44:53.300 because the CRT stuff

00:44:54.620 totally activates

00:44:57.080 the right

00:44:57.620 but on the other side

00:44:59.960 there's not really

00:45:00.920 much traction.

00:45:03.060 In other words,

00:45:03.540 it's an unbalanced

00:45:04.540 topic.

00:45:06.260 It can only be bad

00:45:07.680 for Democrats.

00:45:08.920 That's it.

00:45:10.100 It can only be bad.

00:45:11.620 There's no sense

00:45:12.540 where they can

00:45:13.120 motivate their people

00:45:14.780 to get more CRT

00:45:15.780 in the school.

00:45:17.260 Do you see people

00:45:18.260 marching in the streets?

00:45:19.180 Yes.

00:45:20.120 More critical race

00:45:21.260 training in the schools.

00:45:22.920 Now, of course,

00:45:23.380 there are plenty

00:45:23.720 of advocates.

00:45:24.420 That's why it exists.

00:45:25.660 But in terms

00:45:26.180 of the energy,

00:45:27.640 I would say

00:45:28.080 the advocates

00:45:28.680 are mostly people

00:45:29.480 getting paid

00:45:29.960 to be advocates.

00:45:31.200 I don't know

00:45:31.840 that the public

00:45:32.440 cares that much

00:45:33.220 but the public

00:45:34.620 Republicans

00:45:35.360 sure care

00:45:36.060 that it's there

00:45:36.780 or some version

00:45:37.920 of it

00:45:38.200 they don't like.

00:45:39.600 So in terms

00:45:40.540 of a political topic

00:45:41.660 it could not

00:45:42.480 be more perfect

00:45:43.560 for the Republicans

00:45:46.200 going forward.

00:45:48.000 And I think

00:45:49.520 Rachel Maddow

00:45:50.360 is correct

00:45:50.960 that Fox News

00:45:52.180 either accidentally

00:45:54.260 or wisely

00:45:55.540 decided that this

00:45:57.380 was going to be

00:45:57.920 the winning issue

00:45:58.640 and they basically

00:45:59.640 created a topic

00:46:00.900 that every Republican

00:46:02.580 can win on.

00:46:05.220 And I think

00:46:06.340 that Rachel Maddow

00:46:07.080 is quite correct

00:46:08.000 in calling out

00:46:08.940 Fox News

00:46:09.700 as having created

00:46:10.960 a message

00:46:12.560 and a method

00:46:13.460 that Republicans

00:46:14.400 can use

00:46:15.180 to win.

00:46:16.960 And they would

00:46:17.700 support it

00:46:18.160 with their platform.

00:46:20.240 All right.

00:46:22.260 I read a

00:46:23.240 fascinating story

00:46:24.060 from an experienced

00:46:25.180 trucker

00:46:25.620 about what the

00:46:26.160 real supply chain

00:46:27.120 problem is.

00:46:28.280 And I'm not sure

00:46:28.780 if this is different

00:46:29.660 from what you've heard

00:46:30.560 but he's certainly

00:46:32.700 coming at it

00:46:33.540 a little differently.

00:46:35.040 It goes like this.

00:46:35.960 The reason that

00:46:38.240 there are not

00:46:38.900 enough truckers

00:46:40.400 to take away

00:46:41.980 the stuff

00:46:42.580 is because

00:46:43.600 the job of being

00:46:44.520 a trucker

00:46:45.040 is terrible

00:46:45.720 primarily now

00:46:47.180 because of how

00:46:47.960 long you have

00:46:48.420 to wait

00:46:48.920 for your truck

00:46:50.060 to be loaded

00:46:50.600 or unloaded.

00:46:51.540 So now you have

00:46:52.100 multi-hour waits

00:46:53.340 in which the

00:46:54.100 independent truckers

00:46:55.040 don't get paid.

00:46:55.840 You could have

00:46:56.200 an eight-hour wait

00:46:57.180 to get your

00:46:59.220 container on your truck.

00:47:01.820 On top of that

00:47:02.840 apparently we need

00:47:04.980 something like

00:47:05.540 10,000 specialized

00:47:07.380 chassis that we

00:47:08.500 don't have

00:47:09.120 because not every

00:47:10.360 truck can carry

00:47:11.200 a container.

00:47:12.060 You have to have

00:47:12.460 a special chassis

00:47:13.440 for that.

00:47:14.420 And apparently

00:47:15.080 we're way underwater

00:47:16.340 in the number

00:47:17.240 of chassis.

00:47:18.780 Now why is that?

00:47:21.160 Somebody says

00:47:21.740 I told you this

00:47:22.440 for days.

00:47:25.340 I told you this

00:47:26.520 for days.

00:47:29.420 So why is it

00:47:31.380 that we suddenly

00:47:32.080 don't have chassis?

00:47:33.200 Does anybody know?

00:47:34.840 Well I think it's

00:47:35.900 because as soon

00:47:36.920 as things get

00:47:37.480 bunched up

00:47:38.040 everything breaks

00:47:38.880 at once.

00:47:39.780 We probably had

00:47:40.740 enough chassis

00:47:41.500 when there wasn't

00:47:43.200 a big backlog.

00:47:45.340 But as soon as

00:47:46.100 there's a big

00:47:46.500 backlog you don't

00:47:47.220 have enough chassis.

00:47:48.820 And if you don't

00:47:49.280 have enough chassis

00:47:49.940 the backlog

00:47:50.600 just keeps building

00:47:51.500 up and then

00:47:52.580 you can't do

00:47:53.040 anything.

00:47:53.920 So basically

00:47:54.500 nobody can move

00:47:56.340 because there

00:47:57.220 aren't chassis

00:47:57.700 and there aren't

00:47:58.360 truckers to take

00:47:59.180 things away.

00:47:59.740 but even

00:48:01.360 if there were

00:48:01.980 they'd have to

00:48:04.060 work 24 hours

00:48:05.080 a day to

00:48:05.600 move anything

00:48:06.860 and there are

00:48:07.920 a number of

00:48:08.300 other regulatory

00:48:09.240 problems etc.

00:48:10.640 So the interesting

00:48:11.580 thing about this

00:48:12.400 is it looks like

00:48:13.040 everything broke

00:48:13.760 at the same time.

00:48:16.560 There's something

00:48:17.320 about this we

00:48:18.040 don't understand

00:48:18.820 still.

00:48:20.100 I feel like this

00:48:20.800 got us closer

00:48:21.540 but when you say

00:48:22.740 something like

00:48:23.260 we don't have

00:48:23.720 enough chassis

00:48:24.340 you have to

00:48:25.700 explain why we

00:48:26.400 had enough chassis

00:48:27.180 a month ago

00:48:27.980 or whenever this

00:48:29.040 started.

00:48:29.740 Why did we

00:48:30.440 have enough

00:48:30.840 chassis before

00:48:31.620 and suddenly

00:48:32.080 we don't?

00:48:32.920 It's not

00:48:33.300 chassis right

00:48:34.360 unless we're

00:48:37.220 short just

00:48:37.760 because we

00:48:38.180 have so much

00:48:38.660 backup.

00:48:40.620 Follow the

00:48:41.040 ownership and

00:48:41.560 the money.

00:48:41.980 Alright here's

00:48:42.400 the point.

00:48:43.320 You'd think

00:48:43.940 that the

00:48:44.280 trucking

00:48:44.700 companies would

00:48:45.480 fix this right?

00:48:48.040 Economics

00:48:48.600 should work

00:48:49.300 so the

00:48:50.420 trucking

00:48:50.820 companies should

00:48:51.440 want to fix

00:48:52.080 this by

00:48:52.680 raising the

00:48:54.240 salary of

00:48:54.800 truckers or

00:48:55.620 doing something

00:48:56.740 but here's

00:48:57.560 the problem

00:48:58.080 truckers are

00:48:59.540 the trucking

00:49:00.240 companies are

00:49:00.740 already getting

00:49:01.220 rich because

00:49:01.820 they're doing

00:49:02.160 all the

00:49:02.400 business that

00:49:02.980 they can

00:49:03.360 handle.

00:49:04.560 The trucking

00:49:05.400 companies don't

00:49:06.340 need to do

00:49:06.740 anything.

00:49:07.840 They're all so

00:49:08.840 busy making

00:49:09.860 money that they

00:49:11.500 have more

00:49:11.760 business than

00:49:12.240 they can handle.

00:49:13.740 So do they

00:49:14.300 have any incentive

00:49:15.040 to do anything?

00:49:15.760 Well yeah I mean

00:49:16.580 more money is

00:49:17.340 better but if

00:49:18.740 you're making

00:49:19.340 money like crazy

00:49:20.140 and you're fully

00:49:20.760 busy and you

00:49:21.480 can't hire new

00:49:22.100 truckers you're

00:49:23.280 not really thinking

00:49:24.120 in terms of

00:49:24.680 expanding.

00:49:25.400 You're just

00:49:25.620 going to chase

00:49:26.860 the money while

00:49:27.320 you can.

00:49:28.280 So we have

00:49:28.720 this weird set

00:49:30.600 of problems that

00:49:31.360 all happen

00:49:31.860 simultaneously to

00:49:33.200 create an

00:49:33.980 economic incentive

00:49:35.000 where nobody

00:49:35.580 can do anything.

00:49:37.020 Nobody has the

00:49:37.940 economic incentive

00:49:38.880 to change things

00:49:40.980 enough.

00:49:42.300 They all have an

00:49:43.020 economic incentive

00:49:43.820 to make it better

00:49:44.580 but nobody

00:49:45.980 individually,

00:49:47.100 not the

00:49:47.500 trucking companies,

00:49:48.380 not the

00:49:48.680 shippers,

00:49:49.240 not the

00:49:49.540 container makers,

00:49:50.780 nobody has

00:49:51.380 enough economic

00:49:52.440 incentive apparently

00:49:53.420 to do something

00:49:55.220 big and you'd

00:49:56.180 have to do

00:49:56.580 something big.

00:50:03.060 Yeah and I

00:50:03.840 was also

00:50:04.200 wondering,

00:50:04.780 it's kind of a

00:50:05.360 big coincidence

00:50:05.940 that we had

00:50:06.600 this problem

00:50:07.260 at the same

00:50:08.040 time we're

00:50:08.420 talking about

00:50:08.880 decoupling from

00:50:09.640 China.

00:50:10.600 Because that's

00:50:11.280 suspiciously

00:50:12.320 convenient,

00:50:12.960 isn't it?

00:50:14.320 One of the

00:50:14.800 things I tell

00:50:15.260 you about

00:50:15.660 fake news is

00:50:17.320 that it's too

00:50:17.880 convenient.

00:50:18.940 This is a

00:50:19.600 little too

00:50:21.020 convenient to

00:50:21.940 the decoupling

00:50:23.220 story.

00:50:24.540 But it could

00:50:25.180 be a

00:50:25.460 coincidence.

00:50:26.240 I won't

00:50:26.480 rule it

00:50:26.840 out, but

00:50:27.320 it's a

00:50:27.520 little

00:50:27.620 convenient.

00:50:29.220 Alright,

00:50:30.360 climate change

00:50:31.080 summit turned

00:50:32.180 into a joke

00:50:32.860 with their

00:50:33.220 private jets

00:50:34.200 and I guess

00:50:34.720 60% of their

00:50:35.600 meals had

00:50:36.040 beef and

00:50:36.420 dairy,

00:50:37.360 which is not

00:50:38.000 cool apparently

00:50:38.780 if you're

00:50:39.300 attending a

00:50:39.820 climate change

00:50:40.320 summit.

00:50:40.980 China didn't 0.99

00:50:41.520 even go.

00:50:42.700 So what was

00:50:43.360 the point of

00:50:43.820 the climate

00:50:44.200 change summit

00:50:44.960 if China

00:50:46.780 didn't go,

00:50:47.460 Russia didn't 0.97

00:50:47.980 go,

00:50:49.320 the people

00:50:50.000 who attended

00:50:50.660 went in

00:50:51.060 private jets

00:50:52.120 and they

00:50:52.920 ate food

00:50:54.040 that they

00:50:54.400 would not

00:50:54.760 recommend for

00:50:55.400 the world.

00:50:57.020 I think this

00:50:57.900 turned into a

00:50:58.800 complete disaster,

00:50:59.960 right?

00:51:00.840 I think this is

00:51:02.020 the moment that

00:51:03.080 the world realized

00:51:04.040 it's a fraud.

00:51:06.340 When,

00:51:07.180 now,

00:51:07.620 climate change

00:51:08.460 is real,

00:51:09.220 in my opinion,

00:51:10.940 meaning that

00:51:11.620 humans are,

00:51:12.800 you know,

00:51:13.340 making the

00:51:13.740 planet warmer

00:51:14.380 at some rate.

00:51:15.620 I'm less

00:51:16.140 alarmed than

00:51:16.820 other people are,

00:51:17.420 but I think

00:51:17.840 basic science

00:51:18.860 is probably

00:51:19.200 right.

00:51:21.300 So the

00:51:21.900 climate change

00:51:22.500 summit,

00:51:23.200 which I think

00:51:23.920 was supposed

00:51:24.340 to be

00:51:24.680 positive PR

00:51:25.760 for getting

00:51:26.760 something done,

00:51:27.960 turned into

00:51:28.460 the opposite,

00:51:29.160 didn't it?

00:51:32.060 Didn't it show

00:51:32.780 us for sure

00:51:33.480 that it's a

00:51:35.020 hoax?

00:51:35.940 Because if the

00:51:36.560 people who

00:51:37.060 were flying in

00:51:37.640 these private

00:51:38.160 jets were even

00:51:39.680 a little bit

00:51:40.200 serious about it,

00:51:40.940 they'd be

00:51:41.200 living it to

00:51:42.280 model it.

00:51:43.020 You know,

00:51:43.160 they'd be

00:51:43.720 leading us by

00:51:45.400 modeling it.

00:51:46.140 They wouldn't

00:51:46.420 be leading us

00:51:47.040 by taking

00:51:48.120 private jets

00:51:48.720 to talk to

00:51:49.860 each other.

00:51:54.380 Yeah.

00:51:55.200 So I think

00:51:55.840 this is a

00:51:56.480 huge failure.

00:51:58.700 I mean,

00:51:59.040 about as big

00:52:00.160 as you can

00:52:00.520 get.

00:52:03.200 Here's my

00:52:03.880 idea and

00:52:05.000 somebody else's

00:52:06.160 idea for

00:52:06.960 reparations.

00:52:08.260 You ready?

00:52:10.580 First idea

00:52:11.400 is instead

00:52:12.120 of giving

00:52:12.520 $450,000

00:52:13.680 to each

00:52:14.400 immigrant,

00:52:15.740 you could

00:52:16.120 give each

00:52:16.640 immigrant who

00:52:17.460 was separated

00:52:18.020 at the

00:52:18.360 border under

00:52:18.820 Trump

00:52:19.120 one Hunter

00:52:20.420 Biden

00:52:20.740 painting

00:52:21.260 worth

00:52:21.880 $450,000.

00:52:24.700 Anybody have

00:52:25.380 a problem

00:52:25.700 with that

00:52:26.000 plan?

00:52:26.700 Now, I know

00:52:27.240 it would keep

00:52:27.700 Hunter busy

00:52:28.240 for a while,

00:52:28.800 but that's

00:52:29.080 part of the

00:52:29.720 benefit of the

00:52:30.240 plan.

00:52:31.400 Keep him

00:52:31.820 away from

00:52:32.180 the rest of

00:52:32.600 the people,

00:52:32.980 right?

00:52:33.820 Yeah,

00:52:34.320 one Hunter

00:52:35.260 Biden painting

00:52:36.060 to every

00:52:36.660 person who

00:52:37.300 got separated

00:52:38.520 at the

00:52:38.800 border.

00:52:38.980 apparently

00:52:40.600 somebody else

00:52:41.140 had that

00:52:41.440 idea before

00:52:41.980 I did,

00:52:42.380 but I

00:52:42.580 don't know

00:52:42.820 who it

00:52:42.980 was.

00:52:45.820 Here's my

00:52:46.460 idea for

00:52:47.080 reparations.

00:52:49.020 And first

00:52:49.640 I'll give

00:52:50.040 you Raul

00:52:52.160 Davis'

00:52:52.840 idea.

00:52:53.760 So on

00:52:54.160 Twitter,

00:52:54.640 Raul

00:52:54.940 Davis,

00:52:55.440 who you

00:52:56.080 should

00:52:56.360 follow.

00:52:58.160 So look

00:52:59.020 for Raul

00:52:59.700 Davis,

00:53:00.320 CEO

00:53:00.860 branding

00:53:01.500 expert.

00:53:02.200 He'll pop

00:53:02.560 right up.

00:53:03.800 And he

00:53:04.160 said,

00:53:04.620 he tweeted,

00:53:05.200 the government

00:53:05.600 should create

00:53:06.180 an NFT,

00:53:07.160 that's a

00:53:07.580 little digital

00:53:08.180 piece of

00:53:08.640 art,

00:53:09.820 an NFT

00:53:10.640 reparations

00:53:11.300 fund.

00:53:12.260 Half

00:53:12.600 proceeds to

00:53:13.340 go to

00:53:13.580 black

00:53:13.920 reparations.

00:53:15.220 Get

00:53:15.400 together the

00:53:15.960 top white

00:53:16.600 liberal

00:53:17.140 actors,

00:53:17.760 artists,

00:53:18.180 and business

00:53:18.660 leaders.

00:53:19.560 They should

00:53:19.940 all be

00:53:20.240 willing to

00:53:20.700 provide NFT

00:53:21.600 artwork for

00:53:22.660 the government

00:53:23.120 program.

00:53:25.280 It's not a

00:53:26.080 bad idea,

00:53:26.940 is it?

00:53:27.920 All the

00:53:28.340 people who

00:53:28.720 want reparations,

00:53:29.880 the famous

00:53:30.360 ones,

00:53:31.000 they could

00:53:31.520 create a

00:53:31.920 little piece

00:53:32.300 of art and

00:53:33.440 just sell

00:53:33.820 it.

00:53:34.720 And then

00:53:35.280 the proceeds

00:53:35.920 go to

00:53:37.040 some kind

00:53:37.460 of reparations

00:53:38.100 fund.

00:53:38.740 But I'm

00:53:39.020 going to

00:53:39.340 take it

00:53:40.060 one step

00:53:41.360 further.

00:53:42.320 Are you

00:53:42.560 ready to

00:53:42.880 have your

00:53:43.200 mind blown?

00:53:45.160 Ready?

00:53:46.400 I'm going to

00:53:46.840 blow your 0.91

00:53:47.400 mind.

00:53:48.640 We are,

00:53:49.380 and I think

00:53:49.840 you'd agree,

00:53:50.520 and Facebook

00:53:51.140 certainly agrees,

00:53:52.300 transitioning as

00:53:53.380 a species

00:53:54.840 from a

00:53:56.460 sort of

00:53:56.920 organic

00:53:57.380 species

00:53:57.800 into a

00:53:58.540 metaverse

00:53:59.140 digital

00:54:00.340 virtual reality

00:54:01.580 species.

00:54:02.580 True or

00:54:02.940 false?

00:54:03.640 Do you

00:54:03.900 accept the

00:54:04.500 premise?

00:54:05.280 It might be

00:54:05.640 20 years,

00:54:06.340 it might be

00:54:06.640 30 years,

00:54:07.320 but do you

00:54:07.700 accept the

00:54:08.880 premise that

00:54:09.980 we're guaranteed

00:54:10.680 to be spending

00:54:11.340 a lot of

00:54:11.740 time in the

00:54:12.380 multiverse?

00:54:14.140 Maybe not

00:54:14.740 your generation,

00:54:15.740 but the one

00:54:16.140 after.

00:54:16.940 I'm going to

00:54:17.540 say yes.

00:54:18.600 Stay with me

00:54:19.340 here,

00:54:19.640 don't argue

00:54:20.380 the assumptions

00:54:20.920 yet.

00:54:23.020 Now,

00:54:23.980 if we

00:54:24.420 believe that

00:54:25.180 black

00:54:26.380 Americans were

00:54:27.460 highly disadvantaged

00:54:28.640 in the real

00:54:29.400 world because

00:54:30.560 of slavery,

00:54:31.520 and then

00:54:31.900 systemic racism

00:54:32.880 that grows

00:54:33.300 from that,

00:54:34.380 what would

00:54:34.900 be the

00:54:35.240 one time

00:54:36.040 in human

00:54:36.540 history we

00:54:37.160 could fix

00:54:38.080 that?

00:54:40.100 See where

00:54:40.760 I'm going?

00:54:42.160 You could

00:54:42.800 make the

00:54:43.840 reparations in

00:54:46.120 the metaverse.

00:54:49.360 You could

00:54:49.860 give every

00:54:50.820 black American

00:54:52.040 who would

00:54:54.640 be, let's

00:54:55.140 say, the

00:54:55.380 recipient of

00:54:56.120 reparations if

00:54:56.960 we were to

00:54:57.300 do reparations,

00:54:57.940 you could

00:54:58.800 give them

00:54:59.320 digital assets

00:55:01.540 that would

00:55:03.040 have actual

00:55:03.540 monetary value

00:55:04.420 when they

00:55:05.380 entered the

00:55:05.820 metaverse.

00:55:06.960 So every

00:55:07.620 black American

00:55:08.520 who signs up

00:55:09.180 for the

00:55:09.440 metaverse,

00:55:10.060 whether it's

00:55:11.100 Zuckerberg's

00:55:12.020 version or

00:55:12.460 another one,

00:55:13.300 gets automatic

00:55:14.280 a digital

00:55:14.860 payment, and

00:55:15.700 they start

00:55:16.120 with an

00:55:16.440 advantage.

00:55:18.960 What do

00:55:19.520 you think?

00:55:21.220 Here's another

00:55:21.920 way to do it.

00:55:23.080 Now, would

00:55:23.720 this be fair?

00:55:24.440 No, of course

00:55:24.960 not.

00:55:25.380 It wouldn't

00:55:25.680 be fair.

00:55:26.160 But, I'd

00:55:29.120 have a

00:55:29.360 conversation

00:55:29.800 about it.

00:55:30.720 I mean, I'd

00:55:31.160 at least talk

00:55:31.780 about it.

00:55:32.760 Here's another

00:55:33.360 version.

00:55:34.680 Give every

00:55:35.360 black American

00:55:36.580 in the form

00:55:37.600 of reparations

00:55:38.480 some WEN

00:55:40.320 tokens.

00:55:41.980 Now, the

00:55:42.320 WEN is my

00:55:43.200 own and

00:55:44.140 my ex-startup's

00:55:46.480 token.

00:55:47.740 The startup

00:55:48.200 is gone, but

00:55:48.980 the token

00:55:50.880 remains because

00:55:51.580 they live

00:55:51.920 forever on

00:55:52.320 the blockchain.

00:55:53.340 You could

00:55:53.740 give everybody

00:55:54.300 a bunch of

00:55:54.780 WEN tokens or

00:55:55.660 some other

00:55:56.080 crypto, but

00:55:56.660 I'll just

00:55:56.940 pick my

00:55:57.280 own, and

00:55:58.040 then just

00:55:58.360 say to

00:55:58.640 people, hey,

00:55:59.980 if you'd

00:56:01.580 like reparations

00:56:02.860 to be a

00:56:03.260 thing, buy

00:56:04.720 some WEN

00:56:05.180 for yourself.

00:56:06.900 Because if

00:56:07.520 you buy

00:56:07.840 WEN for

00:56:08.240 yourself, just

00:56:09.120 as a

00:56:09.820 speculation or

00:56:10.900 investment, I

00:56:11.780 wouldn't call it

00:56:12.280 an investment,

00:56:12.960 speculation, if

00:56:14.200 you buy it

00:56:14.560 for yourself, you

00:56:15.800 could make

00:56:16.120 some money if

00:56:17.020 it goes up.

00:56:17.980 You could

00:56:18.300 lose some

00:56:18.640 money if it

00:56:18.960 goes down.

00:56:19.720 But if it

00:56:20.280 goes up, and

00:56:21.500 just the fact

00:56:22.000 that you bought

00:56:22.460 it should make

00:56:23.620 the WEN tokens

00:56:24.580 that the

00:56:25.180 black owners

00:56:26.540 of it have

00:56:27.560 go up in

00:56:28.100 value.

00:56:28.980 So you

00:56:29.440 can simply

00:56:29.860 make yourself

00:56:30.520 rich and

00:56:31.180 also black

00:56:32.560 Americans who

00:56:33.220 got reparations

00:56:33.920 rich simply

00:56:34.700 by investing

00:56:35.340 in it.

00:56:36.500 Now, again,

00:56:37.160 it's not really

00:56:37.680 an investment

00:56:38.140 because crypto,

00:56:39.160 I don't

00:56:39.360 consider it

00:56:40.140 an investment.

00:56:41.660 What about

00:56:42.260 it?

00:56:43.280 Who loses?

00:56:45.040 Nobody, right?

00:56:46.140 Nobody loses.

00:56:47.300 Because there's a

00:56:48.020 whole bunch of

00:56:48.520 WEN tokens.

00:56:49.260 You could just

00:56:49.600 give a bunch

00:56:50.100 away and say,

00:56:50.720 all right,

00:56:50.960 everybody gets

00:56:51.520 one WEN,

00:56:52.720 and then say,

00:56:53.580 if you want

00:56:53.960 people to have

00:56:54.440 reparations,

00:56:55.180 buy some WEN,

00:56:56.180 you'll make

00:56:56.680 money too,

00:56:57.700 because yours

00:56:58.040 might go up

00:56:58.560 at the same

00:56:58.920 time.

00:56:59.840 Not guaranteed.

00:57:01.320 But if it

00:57:01.740 does, suddenly

00:57:03.140 black Americans

00:57:03.840 have a nice

00:57:04.440 little pot of

00:57:06.400 crypto that

00:57:07.260 they can turn

00:57:07.700 into real

00:57:08.120 cash.

00:57:09.360 So those

00:57:10.000 are my

00:57:10.240 ideas, and

00:57:11.400 Raul's ideas

00:57:13.200 as well.

00:57:14.080 And I don't

00:57:14.780 know that these

00:57:15.260 are good ideas.

00:57:16.200 I like to put

00:57:16.940 out the bad

00:57:17.480 idea version,

00:57:18.420 and then maybe

00:57:18.900 that makes

00:57:19.760 somebody think,

00:57:20.380 well, that's a

00:57:21.060 bad idea, but

00:57:21.700 if you change

00:57:22.620 this part, it

00:57:23.160 might work.

00:57:24.140 That's usually

00:57:24.840 the philosophy

00:57:26.300 with which I

00:57:26.940 do this.

00:57:27.840 All right.

00:57:29.840 That is all

00:57:30.960 I have to do

00:57:31.560 to talk about

00:57:33.160 today, and

00:57:34.240 I will talk

00:57:34.720 to you.
