A vaccine against Alzheimer's has been developed in mice, and it could be the next big thing in memory loss treatment, but what does it actually work like? Plus, I swear a lot, which is probably not a good thing.

00:00:00.200 Good morning, everybody.
00:00:02.420 By the way, do you know why I always open a drawer
00:00:04.920 and take out my notes before I do the simultaneous ep?
00:00:09.220 It's not because, just because I don't remember it.
00:00:13.460 That's part of it.
00:00:14.840 But it's also...
00:00:16.600 I'm seeing funny memes go by on the Locals platform.
00:00:21.300 By the way, Locals has in their comments,
00:00:23.860 you can embed memes and pictures.
00:00:26.460 So the Locals' comment stream is freaking hilarious
00:00:31.580 compared to the YouTube stream, which is just text.
00:00:36.540 But when you look at the Locals' feed, it's hard not to laugh.
00:00:41.800 All right, so the reason that I always do this,
00:00:45.560 sometimes YouTube clips off this part,
00:00:49.160 but let me tell you why I do it.
00:00:52.280 So listen to it again, see if you can hear it.
00:00:56.460 It's basically an introduction.
00:01:01.800 So it's also a trigger, or a key, as we say in hypnosis.
00:01:06.500 If you hear it every time, it should,
00:01:09.560 if you like the content from prior shows,
00:01:12.700 it should put you immediately in the headspace.
00:01:15.680 So it's sort of a trick
00:01:16.900 to put you in the right frame of mind by repetition.
00:01:20.840 Same as really any theme music for any show.
00:01:24.820 It's the same idea.
00:01:26.520 So all kinds of stuff going on today.
00:01:30.580 I'm going to be cursing a little bit.
00:01:34.220 There will be some cursing coming up.
00:01:36.880 So this would not be the one that you want to share
00:01:39.400 with your sensitive friends and or children.
00:01:44.400 Well, let's say children who are not familiar with swear words.
00:01:51.220 I'm pretty sure any kid under 14 or older is going to be fine.
00:01:55.920 And you probably shouldn't show this to anybody who's under 14.
00:01:59.580 But anybody over 14 has heard all the words, right?
00:02:02.860 By the way, have you ever heard 14-year-olds talk to each other?
00:02:05.560 It's a lot worse than what I say.
00:02:09.600 So they're not going to be damaged by it.
00:02:11.640 But anyway, that's just your warning.
00:02:13.360 But first topic is, I'll be swearing on the very next topic,
00:02:17.600 in case you're wondering.
00:02:19.640 The very next topic, we'll have some anger and cursing. 0.99
00:02:23.440 And then we'll get back into the fun stuff.
00:02:25.780 But first, there might be an Alzheimer vaccination.
00:02:29.680 According to the Telegraph,
00:02:31.540 there's a vaccine against Alzheimer's disease.
00:02:34.200 It could be on the horizon, because it's worked in mice.
00:02:37.620 They actually...
00:02:40.200 Yeah, I see your comment, Carpe.
00:02:44.800 I'll get back to that.
00:02:48.000 And it actually reversed memory loss in mice.
00:02:53.060 What?
00:02:53.900 How do you reverse memory loss?
00:02:56.460 How do you even do that?
00:02:58.420 Apparently, that's the thing.
00:03:01.080 Oh, oh, there's something wrong.
00:03:02.900 I have done something very bad.
00:03:07.900 You know what it is, right?
00:03:10.000 Yes, you do.
00:03:12.800 Let's fix this.
00:03:14.100 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,
00:03:16.000 a tank or a gel, just a dine, a canteen jug or a flask,
00:03:18.380 a vessel of any kind.
00:03:20.900 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:03:22.820 I like coffee.
00:03:24.460 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,
00:03:27.140 the dopamine hit of the day,
00:03:29.060 the thing that makes everything better,
00:03:30.520 except your memory, apparently.
00:03:32.940 It's called the simultaneous sip,
00:03:35.280 and it happens now.
00:03:35.880 Go.
00:03:36.040 Go.
00:03:40.420 Oh.
00:03:42.960 I don't know how I went so long without that.
00:03:47.460 But now all systems are operating 100%.
00:03:51.740 So, yes, there's this vaccination, allegedly,
00:03:56.760 that works on animals that gives them their memory back.
00:04:00.880 Now, and the story goes on to describe exactly how they do it,
00:04:05.400 and it actually sounds like something that works.
00:04:08.500 They found the exact problem with the memory,
00:04:10.820 and they reproduced a, well, they created a vaccine
00:04:13.820 that operates directly against that memory loss element.
00:04:19.980 Well, here are a few thoughts on this.
00:04:24.200 Number one, why are we calling this a vaccination?
00:04:29.460 Anybody?
00:04:31.280 Did you notice I slipped that in?
00:04:33.080 Did you uncritically accept that this was a vaccination?
00:04:40.380 Did any of you say, vaccination?
00:04:43.620 That doesn't sound like a vaccination, does it?
00:04:49.060 All right.
00:04:49.920 Well, I guess it could be used as a preventive,
00:04:52.880 so it could be a prophylactic.
00:04:54.480 If you get the shot,
00:04:55.760 they're thinking that maybe it might actually be a vaccination.
00:04:59.420 It might actually be an actual vaccination.
00:05:02.320 that prevents you from getting Alzheimer's,
00:05:04.620 but I don't think so.
00:05:06.440 I think what they're looking at
00:05:07.760 is something that makes it a lot better.
00:05:10.840 Right?
00:05:12.300 Because I don't think they're saying
00:05:14.080 that we think if you take this vaccination,
00:05:16.480 you'll never get Alzheimer's.
00:05:18.620 I think they're saying if you get the vaccination,
00:05:20.820 it might not affect you as much.
00:05:23.460 So you've noticed that the definition of a vaccination
00:05:26.200 has just completely changed.
00:05:28.200 Now, vaccination and therapeutic
00:05:29.980 are basically the same thing.
00:05:32.320 At this point, what makes it a vaccination
00:05:34.260 is that they give it to you in a shot.
00:05:37.920 Am I wrong?
00:05:39.380 I think at this point,
00:05:40.480 we're going to call anything in a shot
00:05:42.320 a vaccination,
00:05:44.060 if it helps at all.
00:05:46.580 So I don't know if that's meaningful or not,
00:05:49.480 but words have just started to drift in meaning,
00:05:53.480 maybe more than usual.
00:05:55.340 Here's the funniest comment
00:05:56.480 on this Alzheimer vaccination article
00:05:58.980 from James Feffery.
00:06:02.820 Or Pefeffery.
00:06:04.260 I don't know how to...
00:06:05.740 His last name starts with PF.
00:06:09.020 Which one is silent?
00:06:10.220 The F or the P?
00:06:10.920 P-F-E-F-F-E-R-L-E. 1.00
00:06:17.380 Pfefferly?
00:06:19.940 Pfefferly?
00:06:20.960 Well, anyway, James Pfefferly
00:06:23.440 says that about the Alzheimer vaccination,
00:06:27.900 Biden gets his mind back.
00:06:29.440 Hilarity soon follows.
00:06:31.760 I did what?
00:06:32.720 This is a pretty funny comment.
00:06:38.460 You can imagine Biden getting the shot
00:06:41.140 two years from now or something. 0.93
00:06:43.580 He gets the shot,
00:06:44.860 and you see Biden sitting there,
00:06:45.980 he gets the shot,
00:06:46.660 and he goes,
00:06:48.100 wait, I did what?
00:06:53.740 Now, if I've taught you,
00:06:57.280 and I think I've taught many of you
00:06:58.800 how to write jokes, right?
00:07:00.180 How many of you have seen any of my tutorials
00:07:02.140 about writing humor?
00:07:03.840 I guess most of them have been
00:07:04.960 on the locals' platform,
00:07:06.320 so I don't think the YouTubers have seen them.
00:07:08.600 But one of the tricks of writing humor
00:07:10.200 is that you create a situation
00:07:12.480 where people can fill out
00:07:14.880 the punchline in their mind.
00:07:17.140 So you give them the boost,
00:07:18.560 you know, the little,
00:07:19.700 you know, imagining Biden saying,
00:07:21.840 quote, I did what?
00:07:23.700 But the beauty of that punchline
00:07:25.460 is that it makes you imagine
00:07:27.660 the full scene, right?
00:07:29.800 So the scene that you put in there
00:07:31.420 is in your own mind.
00:07:32.340 It's not in the joke.
00:07:33.980 The joke is just this one line.
00:07:35.400 I did what?
00:07:35.980 And then you just imagine
00:07:37.040 the fullness of the scene.
00:07:38.440 That is a good joke.
00:07:41.760 Right?
00:07:42.080 You can't beat that form of humor
00:07:43.920 where somebody has to recreate
00:07:45.580 the details in their head
00:07:46.580 from your punchline.
00:07:47.340 So there's your humor writing trick
00:07:51.320 for the day.
00:07:52.860 I'd like to get into
00:07:54.000 a little bit of swearing next.
00:07:58.320 Have you heard of a book
00:07:59.900 called White Fragility?
00:08:03.600 White Fragility? 0.99
00:08:04.960 And you've heard the term, right? 0.91
00:08:06.040 White Fragility. 0.99
00:08:07.960 I think it has to do with, you know, 0.98
00:08:09.440 white people feeling bad
00:08:10.840 if anybody else gets some good stuff.
00:08:14.080 Something like that.
00:08:14.700 You know that's racist, right? 0.99
00:08:20.540 White Fragility. 0.99
00:08:21.820 You couldn't say that 0.90
00:08:22.540 about anybody else.
00:08:24.120 That's purely racist.
00:08:26.420 It's not even a little bit racist.
00:08:28.880 This is like the old school,
00:08:30.680 you know,
00:08:30.920 no systemic anything here.
00:08:33.240 Direct racism.
00:08:36.080 Well, apparently,
00:08:37.180 since we haven't,
00:08:38.260 we meaning anybody
00:08:39.700 anybody who doesn't like that
00:08:41.680 has not pushed back on that.
00:08:44.480 I got a comment today
00:08:45.980 on Twitter.
00:08:48.100 It doesn't even matter
00:08:49.260 what the topic was.
00:08:50.580 But the comment to me
00:08:52.040 was that
00:08:52.780 white eggs
00:08:54.560 have the softest shells.
00:08:57.980 It was a comment
00:08:58.960 about my
00:08:59.820 ethnicity
00:09:01.960 and a suggestion
00:09:04.420 that I'm
00:09:05.200 extra sensitive
00:09:06.580 because I'm white.
00:09:10.120 So I responded back, 0.98
00:09:12.680 you racist 1.00
00:09:13.340 piece of shit. 1.00
00:09:15.280 You know, 1.00
00:09:16.160 I don't know
00:09:17.660 what too far
00:09:18.640 looks like.
00:09:20.440 Right?
00:09:20.880 You know that
00:09:21.320 I identify as black
00:09:22.520 because I've been
00:09:23.360 discriminated against
00:09:24.460 so severely
00:09:25.260 in my life.
00:09:26.380 That's not a joke.
00:09:27.280 If anybody's new to me,
00:09:29.360 none of that's a joke.
00:09:30.300 I literally identify
00:09:32.020 as black
00:09:32.620 because I can. 0.52
00:09:33.440 Those are the rules.
00:09:35.260 The rules are
00:09:36.120 I can identify
00:09:36.940 anyone I want
00:09:37.820 and that's who
00:09:38.280 I identify with the most.
00:09:39.560 And also,
00:09:40.000 I like to be
00:09:40.400 on the winning team.
00:09:43.080 If I have a choice
00:09:44.400 of being on the winning team
00:09:46.440 or the losing team,
00:09:47.540 why would you pick
00:09:49.000 the losing team?
00:09:50.400 So I pick
00:09:50.920 the winning team.
00:09:52.480 I think black Americans
00:09:53.720 are ascending,
00:09:54.660 white Americans
00:09:55.240 are descending,
00:09:56.360 and I like to get
00:09:57.340 some of those benefits.
00:09:58.320 I'm allowed.
00:10:01.060 The rules allow me
00:10:02.320 to do that,
00:10:02.920 so I'd like to get
00:10:03.560 some of those benefits.
00:10:05.420 And you should too
00:10:06.400 because it's available
00:10:07.440 to everybody
00:10:08.060 and nobody is excluded
00:10:09.820 from defining
00:10:10.880 their own situation.
00:10:14.640 But I would like
00:10:16.720 to say this
00:10:17.360 to all the people
00:10:18.320 who would like
00:10:19.060 to get away
00:10:19.920 with calling
00:10:20.400 white people
00:10:21.040 who I don't identify with,
00:10:22.720 but I still support
00:10:23.820 their struggle.
00:10:25.640 When you say
00:10:28.880 white eggs
00:10:29.460 are the softest shells, 1.00
00:10:30.760 fuck you. 1.00
00:10:32.120 Fuck you. 1.00
00:10:33.680 Fuck your family. 1.00
00:10:35.900 Fuck you. 1.00
00:10:36.840 Every article, 1.00
00:10:37.920 every particle 1.00
00:10:38.620 in your fucking 1.00
00:10:39.700 racist piece 1.00
00:10:40.600 of shit body. 1.00
00:10:42.300 Fuck you completely. 1.00
00:10:44.480 Drop dead. 1.00
00:10:46.100 All right? 1.00
00:10:46.500 If you can go
00:10:47.480 in public 1.00
00:10:48.080 and say racist bullshit 1.00
00:10:50.140 directly, 1.00
00:10:51.440 not even hinting at it, 1.00
00:10:53.380 fuck you. 1.00
00:10:54.300 And if you want 1.00
00:10:55.620 to see how
00:10:56.460 fragile
00:10:59.080 my shell is, 0.99
00:11:02.140 don't fucking push me 0.99
00:11:05.360 because you're 1.00
00:11:06.400 going to find out.
00:11:08.400 So anytime you see this,
00:11:10.680 you know,
00:11:11.180 the white fragility 0.95
00:11:12.440 and, you know, 0.68
00:11:13.920 white people 0.84
00:11:14.380 are sensitive 0.93
00:11:14.920 and even the Karen stuff.
00:11:16.920 By the way,
00:11:17.520 I think white people
00:11:18.300 should be able
00:11:18.860 to call white women
00:11:20.520 Karens.
00:11:22.160 Nobody else.
00:11:24.300 Nobody else.
00:11:26.340 Who's with me?
00:11:27.840 And again,
00:11:28.300 I don't identify
00:11:29.500 as a white person,
00:11:30.420 so I'm just supporting
00:11:31.880 the struggle
00:11:32.760 of the people
00:11:33.380 who are.
00:11:35.200 I'm going to start
00:11:35.980 using the N-word.
00:11:37.960 I'm going to start
00:11:38.720 using the N-word
00:11:39.440 because, first of all,
00:11:40.460 I identify as black.
00:11:42.020 But secondly,
00:11:42.980 if white women 1.00
00:11:45.080 can be called Karens,
00:11:47.440 and that's okay
00:11:48.100 with everybody,
00:11:49.300 everybody's okay
00:11:49.980 with that,
00:11:50.380 don't push it.
00:11:54.580 Now,
00:11:55.040 I've been very much
00:11:55.920 in favor of the N-word
00:11:57.040 being excluded
00:11:58.260 from civilized society.
00:12:01.120 It's a horrible word.
00:12:02.940 It should be banned forever.
00:12:04.940 Now,
00:12:05.160 of course,
00:12:05.680 you know,
00:12:05.900 free speech,
00:12:06.500 of course,
00:12:06.780 can't ban it.
00:12:08.020 But in terms of
00:12:09.120 what feels right
00:12:10.260 as, you know,
00:12:11.020 a human being,
00:12:12.260 like,
00:12:12.520 I don't ever want
00:12:13.160 to hear that word.
00:12:16.040 So I'm okay
00:12:16.920 with that
00:12:17.200 as an exception,
00:12:18.220 right?
00:12:18.440 It's like a minor exception.
00:12:21.280 But I feel like
00:12:22.960 there's a little bit
00:12:24.160 of taking advantage
00:12:25.000 going on here,
00:12:26.000 don't you think?
00:12:28.080 So,
00:12:28.900 for those of you
00:12:29.900 who'd like to call
00:12:30.660 white people Karens
00:12:31.940 and fragile, 1.00
00:12:33.060 fuck you, 1.00
00:12:33.680 you pieces of racist shit. 1.00
00:12:37.680 Moving on. 1.00
00:12:40.360 Biden's slogan,
00:12:41.560 Build Back Better,
00:12:43.920 there was an observation
00:12:46.240 by Spike Cohen
00:12:47.480 on Twitter
00:12:48.820 who makes this observation.
00:12:51.700 So Build Back Better.
00:12:53.880 Build,
00:12:54.480 what would be
00:12:54.900 another word for build?
00:12:56.600 To build something.
00:12:58.260 Make, right?
00:12:59.200 You make something
00:13:00.000 or you build it.
00:13:01.420 Kind of similar.
00:13:03.040 What would be
00:13:03.780 another word for back
00:13:05.580 as it's used in this?
00:13:06.820 We're not talking
00:13:07.460 about the back
00:13:08.020 on your body,
00:13:09.220 but back in this context
00:13:10.840 means historically back.
00:13:13.940 You know,
00:13:14.160 to take us back
00:13:15.160 to something.
00:13:16.940 Sort of like again.
00:13:19.280 Yeah,
00:13:19.620 it's sort of like again.
00:13:21.440 We'll do back.
00:13:22.780 It's like again.
00:13:24.360 And then better,
00:13:26.520 what would be
00:13:26.980 another word for better?
00:13:30.260 Sort of a synonym
00:13:31.480 for better.
00:13:32.640 Oh, great.
00:13:33.800 If you did something
00:13:34.760 better than it was,
00:13:35.800 it's probably great.
00:13:36.540 So literally,
00:13:39.400 Build Back Better
00:13:40.060 is just make
00:13:41.060 America great again.
00:13:46.120 I mean,
00:13:46.700 it leaves out
00:13:47.100 the America part
00:13:47.920 because the Dems
00:13:48.880 don't like America
00:13:49.880 as much.
00:13:50.980 But
00:13:51.220 all it is
00:13:53.280 is just a copy of,
00:13:54.820 it's literally
00:13:55.340 just a copy of
00:13:56.520 Make America Great Again.
00:13:58.420 They just changed
00:13:58.980 the words.
00:14:00.060 And somehow
00:14:00.560 I didn't notice.
00:14:01.340 How did I go
00:14:03.400 this long
00:14:03.880 without noticing
00:14:04.640 that it's just
00:14:05.640 it's just MAGA?
00:14:07.680 How did we do that?
00:14:09.100 Did any of you
00:14:09.660 notice before this?
00:14:11.440 How in the world
00:14:12.400 did we not notice this?
00:14:15.000 Isn't that freaky?
00:14:18.240 It's freaky.
00:14:19.660 Like,
00:14:19.880 it's my job
00:14:20.600 to notice this stuff,
00:14:21.880 right?
00:14:22.100 Because I'm a word guy.
00:14:23.980 It's literally
00:14:24.680 my job to notice.
00:14:25.680 I didn't see it.
00:14:27.260 So good,
00:14:27.860 good observation,
00:14:29.060 Spike Cohen.
00:14:29.840 All right,
00:14:32.980 because I'm
00:14:33.700 fair and balanced,
00:14:34.960 I will tell you
00:14:35.660 the fake news
00:14:36.340 on CNN,
00:14:37.640 but I will also
00:14:38.720 tell you the fake news
00:14:39.660 on Fox News.
00:14:41.480 Do you think
00:14:42.280 that Fox News
00:14:42.980 ever has any fake news?
00:14:46.760 Well,
00:14:47.440 you be the judge.
00:14:48.960 So here's
00:14:49.520 a Fox News headline.
00:14:52.180 So,
00:14:52.780 first of all,
00:14:53.320 some background.
00:14:54.260 So Kamala Harris
00:14:55.060 appeared at an event
00:14:56.320 with Biden
00:14:56.960 and
00:14:57.540 some other
00:14:59.580 person was introduced
00:15:00.780 as Kamala Harris
00:15:02.560 goes to the lectern.
00:15:04.760 So Kamala
00:15:05.340 walks up to the lectern
00:15:06.900 and then the voice
00:15:08.660 of God,
00:15:09.240 you know,
00:15:09.460 the announcer says,
00:15:11.480 introducing,
00:15:12.740 and then it was
00:15:13.220 just some other person
00:15:14.100 that they were going
00:15:15.300 to introduce after her.
00:15:17.200 Now,
00:15:18.880 I saw Kamala Harris
00:15:20.020 getting mocked
00:15:20.720 by the conservatives
00:15:21.880 for,
00:15:22.540 you know,
00:15:23.140 being dissed
00:15:24.500 and being,
00:15:25.500 you know,
00:15:25.800 in this awkward situation.
00:15:27.020 But I had a completely
00:15:28.740 different take on it.
00:15:30.640 And I'm not sure why.
00:15:31.620 I mean,
00:15:31.840 obviously it's subjective.
00:15:33.560 But my take on it
00:15:34.640 is that she handled it perfectly.
00:15:36.600 Actually,
00:15:37.040 one of the best things
00:15:37.800 I've seen her do in public.
00:15:40.660 Do you disagree?
00:15:42.260 Here's what I saw.
00:15:43.560 So,
00:15:43.940 she didn't create 1.00
00:15:45.020 the situation,
00:15:45.860 right?
00:15:46.340 She was cast
00:15:47.240 into the situation.
00:15:48.580 She gets up there,
00:15:49.400 she's ready to talk,
00:15:50.340 and then the voice
00:15:50.980 introduces a different person.
00:15:52.460 Instead of looking shook up,
00:15:56.620 she smiled,
00:15:58.340 and here's a little
00:15:59.620 public speaking tip for you.
00:16:02.740 The pause.
00:16:04.740 The pause.
00:16:06.460 There is nothing harder
00:16:08.060 than pausing for two seconds
00:16:11.480 when something like that happens.
00:16:13.840 Because the pause
00:16:14.800 gives you time to think.
00:16:16.660 But you don't give yourself
00:16:18.380 that pause
00:16:18.980 when you're in front of a crowd.
00:16:20.560 Usually you just start talking, 0.94
00:16:21.720 and something silly comes out. 0.74
00:16:23.820 But she paused. 0.94
00:16:25.720 Now,
00:16:26.060 that's the first time
00:16:27.280 I've seen poise
00:16:30.160 of the professional kind
00:16:33.220 that you'd expect
00:16:33.800 from a top-level politician.
00:16:36.560 She paused,
00:16:38.520 and then what was her,
00:16:40.400 then her quote was, 0.97
00:16:41.560 she goes,
00:16:42.200 she smiles and she goes,
00:16:43.660 in a moment.
00:16:45.360 And then she goes on
00:16:46.360 with the thing.
00:16:47.900 It was kind of perfect.
00:16:49.820 Kind of perfect.
00:16:51.140 Right?
00:16:51.280 Now,
00:16:51.720 if you're not familiar
00:16:53.900 with my commentary,
00:16:56.760 I've been just brutal
00:16:58.780 about Kamala Harris's
00:17:00.880 public persona.
00:17:02.780 It's just so cringey.
00:17:04.240 Just horrible,
00:17:05.200 most of the time.
00:17:05.800 Worst I've ever seen,
00:17:06.760 honestly.
00:17:07.480 It's honestly the worst
00:17:08.420 I've ever seen.
00:17:09.340 But in this moment,
00:17:10.840 I thought she handled it
00:17:12.720 as well as that could be handled.
00:17:14.840 I don't think that could have been better.
00:17:15.920 Anyway,
00:17:18.200 here's how Fox News
00:17:19.300 writes about it.
00:17:22.100 Now,
00:17:22.360 you should also know
00:17:23.080 that CNN had a
00:17:24.300 really critical report
00:17:26.360 of Kamala Harris yesterday.
00:17:28.020 All right?
00:17:28.280 So,
00:17:28.920 that's your background.
00:17:30.360 Here's Fox News headline.
00:17:32.300 White House announcer
00:17:33.140 appears to skip
00:17:34.520 Kamala Harris
00:17:35.420 at infrastructure bill signing
00:17:37.460 after disastrous
00:17:38.980 CNN report.
00:17:39.920 So,
00:17:41.440 the White House announcer
00:17:42.240 appears to skip her
00:17:43.600 after the disastrous
00:17:45.520 CNN report.
00:17:47.760 Do you think
00:17:48.740 that these things
00:17:49.600 are connected?
00:17:51.040 Do you think
00:17:51.620 there's a connection
00:17:52.380 between the CNN report
00:17:53.780 and the White House
00:17:55.360 announcer skipping her? 0.80
00:17:57.600 No.
00:17:58.900 No.
00:17:59.780 There's no connection.
00:18:01.800 And then you get
00:18:03.160 to the bottom
00:18:03.660 of the article
00:18:04.220 and it even says,
00:18:05.840 well,
00:18:05.980 there's probably
00:18:06.300 no connection.
00:18:07.600 It's probably
00:18:08.080 just a mistake
00:18:08.900 in the announcer
00:18:10.360 and there's nothing
00:18:10.960 else there.
00:18:11.940 So,
00:18:12.340 they write this whole
00:18:13.020 fake news headline
00:18:14.940 to make you think
00:18:15.880 that maybe
00:18:16.320 the White House
00:18:17.000 has turned against
00:18:17.860 Kamala Harris
00:18:18.560 so much
00:18:19.740 that they're not even
00:18:20.960 going to introduce
00:18:21.660 her right. 0.98
00:18:23.240 That didn't happen.
00:18:25.180 Nothing like that
00:18:26.080 happened.
00:18:27.120 The headline
00:18:27.640 is pure fake news.
00:18:29.880 And if they cover
00:18:30.800 this accurately,
00:18:32.480 they'd say
00:18:32.840 the announcer
00:18:33.380 made a mistake
00:18:34.180 and Harris
00:18:35.540 adeptly
00:18:37.260 handled it.
00:18:38.900 That should have
00:18:40.060 been the news.
00:18:41.420 The news should have
00:18:42.180 been the announcer
00:18:42.780 made a mistake
00:18:43.440 and the Vice
00:18:45.480 President adeptly,
00:18:46.940 adeptly
00:18:48.000 handled it.
00:18:50.260 Now,
00:18:51.360 I saw a tweet
00:18:53.100 from Ed Latimer
00:18:54.960 the other day
00:18:55.860 about steel man
00:18:57.880 arguments.
00:19:00.140 And a steel man
00:19:01.080 argument is when
00:19:01.920 you argue the
00:19:03.080 other side
00:19:04.040 as convincingly
00:19:05.740 as possible
00:19:06.340 before you give
00:19:07.600 your counterpoint.
00:19:09.540 So if you can't
00:19:10.240 describe the other
00:19:11.100 side's argument
00:19:11.940 perfectly,
00:19:13.740 your debate
00:19:14.840 against it
00:19:15.400 really is weak
00:19:16.440 because you're not
00:19:17.300 even debating
00:19:18.040 the right thing.
00:19:19.040 You're debating
00:19:19.560 a straw man.
00:19:20.920 So if you can't
00:19:22.300 say something good
00:19:23.860 legitimately
00:19:25.240 about the other
00:19:26.860 team,
00:19:27.960 nobody should
00:19:28.560 take you seriously.
00:19:29.500 I won't.
00:19:32.300 If I see you
00:19:33.200 say nothing good
00:19:34.000 about the other
00:19:34.500 side ever,
00:19:35.360 I don't take you
00:19:36.160 seriously.
00:19:37.660 Just know that.
00:19:39.360 Just know that I
00:19:40.200 will never take you
00:19:41.040 seriously if you
00:19:41.960 can't say something
00:19:42.980 good about the
00:19:44.320 other side.
00:19:45.420 Something.
00:19:46.280 Because there's
00:19:46.780 always something,
00:19:48.020 right?
00:19:48.840 If you can't say
00:19:49.620 anything good,
00:19:50.980 you're probably an NPC.
00:19:52.280 All right.
00:19:54.420 So that was my
00:19:56.260 saying something
00:19:56.840 good about Harris.
00:19:57.780 So the next time
00:19:58.460 I criticize her,
00:19:59.540 you should put
00:20:00.000 that in context.
00:20:01.440 And I will.
00:20:03.940 Here's a question
00:20:04.740 for you.
00:20:05.540 Name a Biden
00:20:06.200 success,
00:20:07.500 and you know,
00:20:08.060 success is
00:20:08.700 subjective,
00:20:09.620 right?
00:20:10.180 But name a Biden
00:20:11.140 success as president
00:20:12.180 that wouldn't have
00:20:13.700 happened anyway,
00:20:14.820 just on its own,
00:20:15.800 no matter who
00:20:16.480 was president.
00:20:17.820 Name something
00:20:18.300 he did that
00:20:19.040 wouldn't have
00:20:19.420 happened just
00:20:20.080 anyway.
00:20:20.420 Would the
00:20:21.960 stock market
00:20:22.600 have gone up?
00:20:25.120 Probably.
00:20:26.600 Probably.
00:20:28.080 Now, I gave
00:20:28.860 Trump credit
00:20:31.100 for the stock
00:20:31.680 market because
00:20:32.320 he cut taxes
00:20:33.200 or was planning
00:20:33.860 to cut taxes
00:20:34.580 and then did.
00:20:35.760 And he also
00:20:36.700 directly talked
00:20:37.700 it up,
00:20:38.700 which is actually
00:20:39.900 good technique
00:20:40.680 because stock
00:20:41.360 markets and
00:20:42.400 the economy
00:20:42.880 itself work on
00:20:43.960 persuasion and
00:20:45.620 psychology.
00:20:47.500 So there was
00:20:48.020 a reason that
00:20:49.900 you could quite
00:20:50.540 see,
00:20:51.120 you could see
00:20:51.500 the connection.
00:20:52.700 Trump did
00:20:53.240 X,
00:20:53.880 the stock
00:20:54.320 market,
00:20:54.860 you know,
00:20:55.440 responded.
00:20:56.720 So in that
00:20:57.380 case,
00:20:57.660 I think you
00:20:58.120 could say
00:20:58.540 Trump gets
00:20:59.440 some of the
00:21:00.180 credit,
00:21:00.940 but maybe
00:21:01.240 not all of
00:21:01.800 it,
00:21:02.040 right?
00:21:02.700 Because the
00:21:03.280 economy tends
00:21:04.060 to go up
00:21:04.580 over time.
00:21:06.160 But I don't
00:21:06.820 see anything
00:21:07.440 that Biden
00:21:07.900 did that
00:21:08.320 would be
00:21:08.560 good for
00:21:08.860 the stock
00:21:09.280 market,
00:21:09.720 did you?
00:21:10.680 What would
00:21:11.220 be the
00:21:11.520 argument that
00:21:12.220 Biden did
00:21:12.760 something to
00:21:13.260 help the
00:21:13.620 stock market?
00:21:14.680 Anything?
00:21:15.860 The
00:21:16.260 infrastructure bill?
00:21:17.280 Does that
00:21:17.580 help the
00:21:17.960 stock market?
00:21:18.440 I don't
00:21:19.660 know,
00:21:19.860 does it?
00:21:21.420 You're
00:21:21.820 saying
00:21:22.020 infrastructure,
00:21:23.100 but isn't
00:21:23.720 there just
00:21:24.140 as much
00:21:24.520 argument that
00:21:25.220 it hurts
00:21:25.520 the economy
00:21:26.040 because of
00:21:26.780 the spending?
00:21:28.960 I don't
00:21:29.200 know,
00:21:29.480 and that
00:21:29.700 you're
00:21:29.880 spending on
00:21:30.320 the wrong
00:21:30.620 things in
00:21:31.120 some cases.
00:21:32.340 So okay,
00:21:32.880 I'll give
00:21:33.200 you that.
00:21:34.540 I'll give
00:21:35.140 you infrastructure,
00:21:36.140 but here's the
00:21:36.740 second point.
00:21:37.840 Don't you
00:21:38.280 think the
00:21:38.620 infrastructure deal
00:21:39.520 would have
00:21:39.820 happened anyway?
00:21:41.620 I do.
00:21:42.940 See,
00:21:43.220 I think
00:21:43.460 Congress kicked
00:21:44.240 that can down 0.77
00:21:44.940 the road as
00:21:45.460 long as they
00:21:45.900 can kick it,
00:21:46.580 and then
00:21:46.880 something was
00:21:47.560 going to
00:21:47.800 happen.
00:21:49.060 Now,
00:21:49.580 of course,
00:21:50.220 they needed
00:21:50.620 the Democratic
00:21:52.620 majority,
00:21:54.080 but they also
00:21:54.520 needed some
00:21:55.060 Republicans to
00:21:56.040 cross the
00:21:57.420 line.
00:21:57.660 I feel like
00:21:58.840 that just
00:21:59.260 would have
00:21:59.580 happened anyway,
00:22:00.900 because you
00:22:01.180 can't go
00:22:02.660 forever without
00:22:03.560 doing a bill
00:22:04.320 on the most
00:22:05.620 important things
00:22:06.260 in the country.
00:22:07.520 Congress just
00:22:08.300 can't go
00:22:08.740 forever.
00:22:09.800 They've got to
00:22:10.240 do it someday,
00:22:11.640 so it just
00:22:12.340 happened now.
00:22:13.500 How about the
00:22:14.020 employment numbers?
00:22:14.960 I don't think
00:22:16.220 Biden had
00:22:16.660 anything to
00:22:17.160 do with
00:22:17.420 that,
00:22:18.340 so that
00:22:18.780 probably would
00:22:19.320 have been
00:22:19.500 fine.
00:22:20.140 How about
00:22:20.460 vaccinations?
00:22:22.180 I don't
00:22:22.540 know.
00:22:23.480 Are they
00:22:23.940 better or
00:22:24.540 worse?
00:22:25.440 Has Biden
00:22:26.180 handled the
00:22:26.860 pandemic better
00:22:28.240 or worse than
00:22:28.900 Trump?
00:22:29.300 Who knows?
00:22:31.140 How about
00:22:31.920 Afghan pull-out? 0.83
00:22:33.780 It was literally
00:22:34.420 scheduled under
00:22:35.280 Trump's
00:22:35.680 administration.
00:22:37.140 We imagine
00:22:37.980 Trump would
00:22:38.500 have done
00:22:38.760 better, but we
00:22:39.400 don't know.
00:22:41.260 So as far as
00:22:42.380 I can tell,
00:22:42.940 there's nothing
00:22:43.500 really here
00:22:45.920 except you
00:22:46.560 could make an
00:22:47.080 argument for
00:22:47.620 the infrastructure
00:22:48.280 bill, but I
00:22:49.080 think it would
00:22:49.500 have happened
00:22:49.860 anyway.
00:22:51.600 Now, do the
00:22:52.520 same thing
00:22:52.960 with Trump.
00:22:54.580 Did Trump
00:22:55.340 accomplish
00:22:55.980 anything that
00:22:56.920 you say,
00:22:57.340 well, that was
00:22:57.820 going to happen
00:22:58.280 anyway, no
00:22:59.520 matter who was
00:23:00.100 in charge?
00:23:00.980 So Trump was
00:23:01.980 tough on the
00:23:02.580 border.
00:23:03.540 Was that going
00:23:04.040 to happen
00:23:04.360 anyway?
00:23:05.200 No, no, it
00:23:06.100 wasn't going to
00:23:06.520 happen anyway.
00:23:07.520 That was something
00:23:08.000 he did that
00:23:08.680 nobody else was
00:23:09.280 going to do.
00:23:10.580 How about
00:23:11.340 Trump basically
00:23:13.960 calming down
00:23:15.000 the problems
00:23:15.540 with North
00:23:16.040 Korea? 0.70
00:23:17.820 Was Biden
00:23:18.680 going to do
00:23:19.060 that?
00:23:19.960 No.
00:23:20.540 There was no
00:23:20.920 chance Biden
00:23:21.640 was going to
00:23:22.200 have a personal
00:23:23.260 relationship with
00:23:24.200 Kim Jong-un,
00:23:24.900 which would
00:23:25.280 effectively change
00:23:26.360 the entire
00:23:26.880 security situation.
00:23:29.220 No.
00:23:29.680 And I feel
00:23:30.360 like I could
00:23:30.880 go through
00:23:31.320 example after
00:23:32.220 example of
00:23:33.520 something that
00:23:34.120 Trump accomplished
00:23:35.060 that you
00:23:36.120 couldn't really
00:23:36.680 imagine somebody
00:23:37.440 else doing.
00:23:37.940 that, my
00:23:39.720 friends, is
00:23:41.600 why I
00:23:42.420 supported him.
00:23:44.060 Not because
00:23:45.080 everything he
00:23:45.920 does is better
00:23:46.600 than everything
00:23:47.180 anybody else
00:23:47.880 does.
00:23:48.400 I've never
00:23:48.800 believed that.
00:23:50.560 What I believe
00:23:51.420 is that sometimes
00:23:52.100 you need a
00:23:52.720 disruptor and
00:23:54.560 it's just good
00:23:55.060 for the system.
00:23:55.940 Could have
00:23:56.280 been a
00:23:56.520 Democrat,
00:23:57.680 depending on
00:23:58.340 the type of
00:23:58.820 disruption.
00:23:59.920 But sometimes
00:24:00.500 you need
00:24:00.800 somebody to
00:24:01.160 just go and 1.00
00:24:01.580 break shit. 1.00
00:24:03.120 Just go break 1.00
00:24:04.400 everything and
00:24:05.440 then put it
00:24:06.020 back together.
00:24:07.200 Better.
00:24:08.140 Build it back
00:24:08.620 better.
00:24:10.120 So I got
00:24:11.160 what I wanted
00:24:11.840 out of Trump.
00:24:12.820 Of course,
00:24:13.180 I did not
00:24:13.660 anticipate the
00:24:14.480 degree of
00:24:15.320 animosity that
00:24:16.320 would be
00:24:17.040 generated.
00:24:17.900 I'm not sure
00:24:18.380 anybody did,
00:24:19.900 which is
00:24:20.780 certainly a
00:24:21.340 negative.
00:24:23.460 All right,
00:24:23.920 let's talk about
00:24:24.420 the Rittenhouse
00:24:24.920 prosecution.
00:24:27.020 Is there any
00:24:27.540 update on that
00:24:28.340 since I started?
00:24:29.940 I thought they
00:24:30.680 were done with
00:24:31.140 the closing
00:24:31.680 arguments.
00:24:32.440 Are they not
00:24:32.860 done with them?
00:24:33.320 I saw a
00:24:34.460 headline that
00:24:35.120 says maybe
00:24:35.540 they were
00:24:35.780 continuing with
00:24:36.560 them.
00:24:38.060 Have we
00:24:38.580 gone to
00:24:38.920 jury yet?
00:24:41.440 Can somebody
00:24:42.120 give me an
00:24:42.620 update?
00:24:43.160 Have they
00:24:43.460 gone to
00:24:43.920 the jury
00:24:44.380 yet?
00:24:46.000 Oh, yes,
00:24:46.780 they have
00:24:47.020 gone.
00:24:47.400 Oh, it's
00:24:47.680 with the
00:24:47.980 jury.
00:24:49.040 Okay, let's
00:24:49.960 talk about
00:24:50.320 this.
00:24:51.780 So the
00:24:52.460 Rittenhouse
00:24:53.080 defense, or
00:24:54.080 I'm sorry,
00:24:54.480 the prosecution
00:24:55.280 has put on
00:24:57.320 a good
00:24:57.580 defense.
00:24:58.480 Now, everybody
00:24:58.980 is saying
00:24:59.320 that, so
00:24:59.680 that's not
00:25:00.000 my clever
00:25:00.540 idea, but
00:25:01.660 it's certainly
00:25:02.080 true.
00:25:02.520 If you
00:25:03.380 look at
00:25:03.740 it, it
00:25:04.020 looks like
00:25:04.480 the prosecution
00:25:05.320 argued the
00:25:07.000 defense's case.
00:25:08.880 But here are
00:25:09.360 some of the
00:25:09.680 crazy things
00:25:10.360 they said in
00:25:11.180 closing, that
00:25:13.100 you don't have
00:25:13.580 a right to
00:25:14.000 self-defense if
00:25:14.820 you're the
00:25:15.120 one with
00:25:15.420 the gun.
00:25:17.580 What?
00:25:19.540 That's just
00:25:20.160 not true.
00:25:21.400 You know, as
00:25:21.880 legal scholars
00:25:22.760 and basically
00:25:23.460 anybody with a
00:25:24.160 brain has 0.82
00:25:25.300 told you,
00:25:26.180 now, if the
00:25:26.760 other person
00:25:27.280 is going to 0.85
00:25:27.760 kill you one 1.00
00:25:28.380 way or the 1.00
00:25:28.780 other, yeah, 0.99
00:25:29.960 you can shoot 1.00
00:25:30.580 them. 1.00
00:25:31.780 Shoot away. 1.00
00:25:32.520 And then 1.00
00:25:34.100 one of the
00:25:35.880 prosecutors in
00:25:36.720 the closing
00:25:37.120 statement said,
00:25:38.300 you know,
00:25:38.640 sometimes we
00:25:39.260 all have to
00:25:39.700 take a 0.98
00:25:40.040 beating. 0.98
00:25:41.620 What?
00:25:42.640 Sometimes we
00:25:43.460 all have to
00:25:44.020 take a 0.98
00:25:44.900 beating.
00:25:48.480 Sometimes we
00:25:49.320 have to punch
00:25:49.780 things.
00:25:50.300 That's true.
00:25:52.660 But it
00:25:55.120 may be true
00:25:55.700 that sometimes
00:25:56.360 people get
00:25:57.200 beatings, but
00:25:58.900 you don't have
00:25:59.460 to take one.
00:26:00.040 If I could
00:26:01.560 give you some
00:26:02.120 advice, if
00:26:03.100 you have a
00:26:03.420 gun and
00:26:03.800 somebody's
00:26:04.280 beating you
00:26:04.960 viciously, 1.00
00:26:06.560 shoot them. 1.00
00:26:07.860 That would 1.00
00:26:08.240 be my
00:26:08.580 advice.
00:26:10.340 And then
00:26:10.940 there was
00:26:11.280 the judge
00:26:12.300 instructions.
00:26:13.540 So here,
00:26:14.080 the judge
00:26:14.640 was, here's
00:26:17.120 my take on
00:26:18.920 the judge's
00:26:19.460 instructions.
00:26:20.020 I don't think
00:26:20.780 you're going to
00:26:21.180 see this take
00:26:21.860 anywhere else.
00:26:23.200 So I want
00:26:23.820 to see if I
00:26:24.260 can convince
00:26:24.840 you that my
00:26:25.320 take is right.
00:26:26.000 Are you ready?
00:26:26.280 All right, so
00:26:27.860 I don't think
00:26:28.500 you've seen
00:26:28.860 this, but I
00:26:29.460 haven't heard
00:26:29.840 every pundit,
00:26:30.560 so maybe
00:26:30.880 somebody's on
00:26:31.480 the same
00:26:31.760 point.
00:26:32.760 So the
00:26:33.140 judge was
00:26:33.540 giving the
00:26:34.200 instructions to
00:26:35.500 the jury and
00:26:36.920 started out by
00:26:37.660 saying that if
00:26:38.820 you find the
00:26:39.500 defendant guilty
00:26:40.180 of the top
00:26:41.160 charge, the
00:26:42.200 most aggressive
00:26:43.100 one, then you
00:26:44.440 don't need to
00:26:45.220 continue because
00:26:46.280 the lesser
00:26:46.780 charges are
00:26:47.480 lesser.
00:26:48.560 So if you
00:26:48.940 find the top
00:26:49.520 charge is
00:26:50.120 valid, you're
00:26:51.020 done.
00:26:52.400 Then he said,
00:26:53.820 but if you
00:26:55.860 find that the
00:26:56.460 top charge is
00:26:57.300 not valid, and
00:26:59.600 you find, here's
00:27:00.320 the key, here's
00:27:01.080 the key phrase, and
00:27:02.600 you find that he
00:27:03.340 acted in self
00:27:04.160 defense, then the
00:27:06.160 judge stopped
00:27:06.720 himself, and he
00:27:08.980 couldn't go on.
00:27:10.760 And he realized he
00:27:11.900 talked himself into
00:27:13.080 a trap, which he
00:27:15.320 admitted.
00:27:15.860 He said, I think I
00:27:16.780 talked myself into
00:27:17.560 a trap.
00:27:18.000 He said it
00:27:18.480 differently, but he
00:27:19.700 admitted he talked
00:27:20.460 himself into a
00:27:21.240 trap.
00:27:21.800 What was the
00:27:22.300 trap?
00:27:23.940 What was the
00:27:24.480 trap?
00:27:25.860 What was the
00:27:26.940 judge realizing he
00:27:28.200 had just done?
00:27:34.860 I think what he
00:27:35.900 had just done is
00:27:37.740 basically told
00:27:40.740 them that if it
00:27:41.560 looked like self
00:27:42.240 defense, there was
00:27:42.960 nothing else to
00:27:43.620 think about.
00:27:45.400 Now, he didn't
00:27:46.120 say that, but it
00:27:48.360 was pretty close to
00:27:49.340 sounding like that.
00:27:50.940 If you thought it
00:27:52.260 was self defense,
00:27:53.100 you're sort of
00:27:53.560 done here.
00:27:53.980 Now, I don't
00:27:55.640 think he meant
00:27:56.180 to say that,
00:27:56.860 right?
00:27:58.160 But it's true.
00:28:05.400 It's true.
00:28:07.500 Meaning that if it
00:28:08.940 looked like self
00:28:09.540 defense, there's
00:28:10.180 really not much
00:28:10.860 else to talk about
00:28:11.600 because the gun
00:28:12.160 charge was thrown
00:28:12.880 out, right?
00:28:13.340 So, I feel as
00:28:16.620 if he biased the
00:28:19.660 jury toward an
00:28:21.020 acquittal in a
00:28:21.780 way that he
00:28:22.240 realized he'd
00:28:22.900 done as he was
00:28:23.600 doing it, and
00:28:24.500 then he tried to
00:28:25.080 back it out.
00:28:26.080 Now, here's the
00:28:26.700 problem.
00:28:28.800 There's no evidence
00:28:29.740 of a crime.
00:28:32.320 So, the judge, in
00:28:33.660 giving his
00:28:34.300 instructions, being
00:28:37.020 completely aware that
00:28:39.120 there's no evidence of
00:28:40.060 a crime at all, was
00:28:42.540 simply being honest.
00:28:44.220 And I think he
00:28:44.700 realized he couldn't
00:28:45.400 be completely honest
00:28:46.480 because he just sat
00:28:48.760 through and presided
00:28:49.740 over a thoroughly
00:28:51.260 corrupt process, which
00:28:53.620 I think is going to
00:28:54.320 give us the right
00:28:55.360 answer.
00:28:56.200 But at least the
00:28:56.820 prosecution part of
00:28:57.740 it was thoroughly
00:28:58.300 corrupt.
00:28:59.800 I mean, I don't know
00:29:00.400 how the prosecutors
00:29:01.140 don't go to jail.
00:29:02.900 Honestly, I don't
00:29:03.780 know.
00:29:04.620 I don't understand the
00:29:06.060 process that the
00:29:07.380 prosecutor doesn't go
00:29:08.420 to jail for this.
00:29:09.980 How do you not go
00:29:10.660 to... 1.00
00:29:11.180 Fuck that 1.00
00:29:12.000 prosecutor. 1.00
00:29:12.640 He belongs in
00:29:13.480 jail.
00:29:17.680 Quality of
00:29:18.360 persuasion of the
00:29:19.120 closing arguments.
00:29:21.700 I didn't watch them
00:29:22.920 enough, but what I
00:29:23.980 did watch looked like
00:29:25.240 none of them were
00:29:26.440 good.
00:29:28.240 So, my take on both
00:29:29.640 the defense and the
00:29:30.700 prosecution is that
00:29:32.280 none of them were
00:29:33.180 especially good at
00:29:34.280 their job.
00:29:35.320 Did you have the
00:29:35.880 same impression?
00:29:37.320 In fact, I would
00:29:38.440 go further.
00:29:40.160 It looked like neither
00:29:41.200 the defense nor the
00:29:42.300 prosecution were even
00:29:43.340 trained in persuasion.
00:29:45.280 Did you see anything
00:29:46.400 that looked like they
00:29:47.160 were trained in
00:29:48.060 persuasion?
00:29:49.380 They're trained in
00:29:50.040 the law, and, you
00:29:51.700 know, there's a little
00:29:52.160 persuasion-y stuff in
00:29:53.260 there, but it doesn't
00:29:54.740 look like they know
00:29:55.460 persuasion.
00:29:57.320 They were just
00:29:58.000 terrible at it.
00:29:58.860 I mean, really
00:29:59.440 terrible.
00:30:00.000 In fact, both the
00:30:00.820 defense and the
00:30:01.800 prosecution kept
00:30:03.360 repeating the other
00:30:04.280 one's case.
00:30:05.140 Now, I know you
00:30:06.600 have to do that for
00:30:07.480 context and stuff, but
00:30:08.880 the way they were
00:30:09.540 doing it, it just
00:30:11.440 seemed like it was
00:30:11.980 reinforcing the other
00:30:12.880 side.
00:30:13.940 I felt like it was
00:30:15.080 terrible in both
00:30:16.360 cases.
00:30:17.040 That was my take.
00:30:24.940 Yeah, and they made
00:30:25.940 it too boring.
00:30:26.620 That's right.
00:30:27.000 So, both sides made
00:30:29.460 their presentations
00:30:30.260 too boring, so there
00:30:31.420 won't be any sticky
00:30:32.220 parts.
00:30:32.620 The secret to
00:30:35.160 having a, you
00:30:37.580 know, good
00:30:37.860 persuasion is that
00:30:40.260 the parts, you
00:30:41.680 have to remember
00:30:42.160 that people are
00:30:42.620 only going to
00:30:42.880 remember 10% of
00:30:43.820 what you say.
00:30:45.380 So you've got to
00:30:46.080 make sure that the
00:30:46.760 10% they remember
00:30:47.760 is really, really
00:30:48.700 important.
00:30:50.240 Right?
00:30:50.620 So I don't think
00:30:51.440 that either side did
00:30:52.700 that.
00:30:53.800 I think they treated
00:30:54.580 it all like it was
00:30:55.320 just one big soup of
00:30:56.640 stuff, and you'd be
00:30:59.220 lucky if you remembered
00:31:00.280 anything in it.
00:31:02.620 Yeah, Johnny
00:31:03.240 Cochran would be the 0.85
00:31:04.200 standard for
00:31:05.080 persuasion.
00:31:08.740 I saw a clip of
00:31:10.080 Toobin on CNN saying
00:31:12.380 that the judge's
00:31:13.900 instructions to the
00:31:15.060 jury were all
00:31:16.000 terrible, which sort
00:31:18.120 of sets us up for a
00:31:19.300 riot, doesn't it?
00:31:20.620 Because now we have a
00:31:21.660 reason for thinking it
00:31:23.920 was an illegal trial or
00:31:25.340 illegitimate.
00:31:26.580 And he provided the
00:31:27.520 reason.
00:31:27.720 Well, the jury
00:31:28.460 instructions were so
00:31:29.340 bad that the jury
00:31:30.980 didn't know how to
00:31:31.700 come to a good
00:31:32.480 verdict.
00:31:34.040 It feels like CNN is
00:31:35.940 trying to set us up.
00:31:38.280 Now, again, when I say
00:31:39.560 that, I don't mean that
00:31:40.860 they planned that, like
00:31:42.600 they had a meeting and
00:31:43.480 they said, hey, let's
00:31:44.060 try to create a riot.
00:31:45.240 I don't think that.
00:31:46.820 I think that everybody
00:31:47.640 just follows the money,
00:31:49.680 even if they're
00:31:51.100 convincing themselves
00:31:52.020 they're not.
00:31:52.580 So in a situation like
00:31:55.280 this, the hypnotist
00:31:56.380 would say, all the
00:31:57.940 people are telling the
00:31:58.800 truth when they think
00:32:01.820 they're just talking
00:32:02.520 about the news.
00:32:03.780 And if you put them
00:32:04.440 on a lie detector,
00:32:05.260 you'd say, are you
00:32:05.840 trying to create a
00:32:06.560 riot?
00:32:07.460 They would all say no
00:32:08.620 and they would all
00:32:09.640 pass.
00:32:10.600 The lie detector would
00:32:11.580 find no sign of
00:32:14.100 lying.
00:32:16.600 But, as I often
00:32:18.560 tell you, you can
00:32:20.260 always predict where
00:32:21.200 things are going by
00:32:22.160 following the money.
00:32:24.040 So, is it a
00:32:25.240 coincidence that the
00:32:26.480 CNN people say
00:32:27.400 exactly what will
00:32:28.320 make them the most
00:32:29.060 money?
00:32:30.640 I don't think so.
00:32:32.080 It's not a
00:32:32.780 coincidence.
00:32:33.880 Because it happens
00:32:34.460 always.
00:32:35.720 It's 100% of the
00:32:36.640 time.
00:32:37.240 It never goes the
00:32:38.140 other way.
00:32:39.280 If it sometimes
00:32:40.080 went the other way,
00:32:40.820 you'd say, oh, that
00:32:41.460 could be a coincidence.
00:32:43.080 But if it never goes
00:32:43.960 the other way, it
00:32:45.600 just means that
00:32:46.360 following the money
00:32:47.020 works, even when
00:32:48.320 the people don't
00:32:48.860 know they're doing
00:32:49.340 it.
00:32:52.160 What was
00:32:53.020 Carpe Dunctum's
00:32:54.440 MSNBC?
00:32:55.360 Oh, MSNBC
00:32:56.300 apparently showed
00:32:57.160 the prosecutors'
00:32:59.420 closing statements,
00:33:00.520 but not the
00:33:01.160 defense.
00:33:03.440 Now, again, if you
00:33:05.940 were to put a lie
00:33:06.600 detector on the
00:33:07.660 MSNBC producers,
00:33:09.860 and you said, why
00:33:10.540 did you do that?
00:33:12.320 Do you think they'd
00:33:13.220 say, you know, we
00:33:14.500 just thought we'd
00:33:15.300 like to get us a good
00:33:16.980 riot here.
00:33:17.980 We'll just show the
00:33:18.680 prosecution.
00:33:19.060 No, no, I'll bet
00:33:21.300 nobody had that
00:33:22.100 thought.
00:33:23.260 I'll bet everybody
00:33:24.100 at MSNBC simply
00:33:27.140 thought they were
00:33:27.880 making programming
00:33:28.920 decisions.
00:33:30.720 Probably said to
00:33:31.600 themselves, well, when
00:33:32.520 the defense is speaking,
00:33:33.600 that's our highest
00:33:34.200 rated show, so we
00:33:35.820 don't want to put
00:33:36.920 that off, so we'll
00:33:38.260 wait for a lower
00:33:38.980 rated show.
00:33:39.720 Oh, that's just
00:33:40.380 when the prosecution
00:33:41.700 is talking.
00:33:43.820 I'll bet you they
00:33:45.660 could pass a lie
00:33:46.580 detector test saying
00:33:48.500 that they did it
00:33:49.580 for just regular
00:33:50.460 programming interest
00:33:51.800 and had nothing to
00:33:52.660 do with trying to
00:33:54.060 make anything
00:33:54.500 happen.
00:33:55.860 Now, I see some
00:33:56.740 people disagreeing,
00:33:58.440 some saying that
00:33:59.120 they absolutely know
00:34:00.280 what they're doing.
00:34:02.060 Could be.
00:34:03.580 You know, I'm not
00:34:04.180 going to disagree.
00:34:04.780 Actually, I don't
00:34:05.820 think I'll press that
00:34:07.920 point further, because
00:34:09.800 I certainly don't have
00:34:11.880 absolute certainty
00:34:13.400 that nobody knows
00:34:15.300 what they're doing
00:34:15.840 here.
00:34:16.040 So this might be a
00:34:17.900 case where they
00:34:18.420 know exactly what
00:34:19.180 they're doing.
00:34:19.580 I'll give you that.
00:34:21.180 I'll give you that.
00:34:22.940 It might be a case
00:34:23.880 where they know
00:34:24.660 exactly what they're
00:34:25.460 doing.
00:34:26.340 But I'll only say
00:34:27.960 that that's not
00:34:28.900 necessary.
00:34:30.300 It's not necessary
00:34:31.540 that they know
00:34:32.160 they're doing it,
00:34:32.760 because it's going
00:34:33.160 to happen either
00:34:33.600 way.
00:34:34.520 They're going to
00:34:35.200 follow the money
00:34:36.000 either way.
00:34:39.320 Sometimes they know
00:34:40.200 it, sometimes they
00:34:40.940 don't.
00:34:41.540 If you think they
00:34:42.260 know it in this
00:34:42.740 case, I wouldn't say
00:34:44.340 you're wrong,
00:34:44.880 necessarily.
00:34:46.500 All right.
00:34:47.200 I got this comment
00:34:48.280 from Josh Jordan.
00:34:49.620 He's a blue
00:34:50.560 Czech guy on
00:34:51.420 Twitter.
00:34:53.020 And when I said
00:34:53.860 that CNN was
00:34:54.480 trying to maybe
00:34:55.540 start a riot,
00:34:56.960 he said sarcastically,
00:34:58.320 yes, the tiny CNN
00:34:59.540 audience is going
00:35:00.360 to start riots,
00:35:01.060 because Toobin
00:35:01.680 said the instructions
00:35:02.480 were botched.
00:35:03.980 Sarcasm.
00:35:05.200 Now, here's my
00:35:05.980 first response.
00:35:08.120 It's not the tiny
00:35:09.280 CNN audience that
00:35:10.580 matters.
00:35:11.620 It's their online
00:35:12.580 presence, and the
00:35:13.920 fact that they
00:35:14.440 give all the
00:35:15.460 Democrats their
00:35:16.180 talking points.
00:35:17.480 It matters who
00:35:18.460 watches, and it
00:35:19.580 matters who sees
00:35:20.700 the clips and
00:35:21.300 stuff online.
00:35:22.800 So if you think
00:35:24.260 that CNN's reach
00:35:25.600 is based on their
00:35:27.040 live audience, it's
00:35:29.120 not.
00:35:29.860 It's not based on
00:35:30.880 that at all.
00:35:31.660 In fact, I think
00:35:32.360 they use the live
00:35:33.240 program just to
00:35:34.020 create clips for
00:35:35.720 their online content.
00:35:37.760 It's mostly a
00:35:38.540 website at this
00:35:39.800 point.
00:35:40.540 It's basically a
00:35:41.240 website.
00:35:41.480 Does anybody
00:35:42.300 have any data?
00:35:43.080 Maybe you can
00:35:43.460 find it while I'm
00:35:44.160 on here.
00:35:44.960 Find me the
00:35:45.720 number of viewers
00:35:46.860 for the CNN
00:35:48.520 website, or their
00:35:51.120 content, any way
00:35:52.020 you can find it,
00:35:52.780 versus the number
00:35:53.800 of live viewers.
00:35:55.680 Should be a
00:35:56.500 gigantic difference,
00:35:57.440 right?
00:35:58.840 I think there's a
00:35:59.580 gigantic difference.
00:36:00.400 Anyway, so that's
00:36:01.480 my first complaint.
00:36:02.880 Then Josh Jordan
00:36:04.280 went on.
00:36:04.760 He said, just
00:36:05.320 imagine what
00:36:06.040 could happen if
00:36:07.240 someone with a
00:36:07.900 real audience,
00:36:08.820 like the
00:36:09.640 president of the
00:36:10.180 United States,
00:36:11.300 told everyone a
00:36:12.160 national election
00:36:12.960 was rigged.
00:36:14.460 Oh.
00:36:16.040 So what about
00:36:16.700 that?
00:36:18.000 So Trump did
00:36:19.440 tell the nation
00:36:20.100 that the election
00:36:20.700 was rigged.
00:36:22.500 So I asked this
00:36:23.480 question back to
00:36:24.220 Josh.
00:36:24.520 I said, what was
00:36:25.860 he supposed to
00:36:26.680 say if he
00:36:27.800 believed it was
00:36:28.920 true?
00:36:30.140 And I'll ask you
00:36:30.820 the same question.
00:36:32.140 So many of us,
00:36:33.200 and I would
00:36:33.860 include myself,
00:36:35.600 were not impressed
00:36:37.000 with the way Trump
00:36:37.900 handled the laws.
00:36:38.960 Is that fair to
00:36:40.160 say?
00:36:40.820 You know, you
00:36:41.140 could be a
00:36:41.540 supporter and
00:36:42.560 still say you
00:36:43.120 don't like the
00:36:43.600 way he handled
00:36:44.080 the laws.
00:36:44.980 You might not
00:36:45.500 like what he
00:36:46.100 talked about,
00:36:46.880 you know, the
00:36:47.280 January 6th
00:36:47.980 stuff.
00:36:48.760 You might not
00:36:49.440 like that he
00:36:50.360 complained as
00:36:51.320 much as he did
00:36:52.180 about the
00:36:52.860 election being
00:36:53.760 fraudulent in
00:36:55.420 his opinion.
00:36:57.100 But let me ask
00:36:57.960 you this.
00:36:59.280 What if he
00:36:59.880 believed it was
00:37:00.660 true?
00:37:02.520 Well, let me
00:37:03.300 back up.
00:37:04.460 Do you think he
00:37:05.040 believed it's
00:37:05.580 true?
00:37:05.740 Do you
00:37:07.240 think that
00:37:07.620 Trump honestly
00:37:09.460 believes the
00:37:11.500 election was
00:37:12.040 stolen?
00:37:13.020 I do.
00:37:13.960 I think he
00:37:14.480 honestly believes
00:37:15.260 that.
00:37:16.280 Now, if he
00:37:18.100 honestly believes
00:37:18.980 it, and at
00:37:20.900 the time he was
00:37:21.580 still president of
00:37:22.420 the United States,
00:37:24.180 do you want a
00:37:25.160 president who
00:37:25.700 doesn't tell you
00:37:26.560 that?
00:37:27.660 What is the
00:37:28.380 better situation?
00:37:30.340 Is the better
00:37:31.240 situation that he
00:37:32.420 lies to us?
00:37:33.160 Or that he
00:37:35.220 rolls over?
00:37:37.200 Did the
00:37:37.900 Republicans elect
00:37:40.260 a lion or a
00:37:42.620 kitten?
00:37:43.900 If Republicans
00:37:45.620 had elected a
00:37:46.820 kitten, then yes,
00:37:48.880 they'd be quite
00:37:49.380 happy if he
00:37:49.940 rolled over, even
00:37:51.420 if he thought he
00:37:52.060 shouldn't.
00:37:53.200 That's what
00:37:53.700 kittens do.
00:37:54.380 We elected a 0.84
00:37:55.040 kitten.
00:37:56.020 You don't expect
00:37:56.680 a kitten to put
00:37:57.380 up much of a
00:37:57.960 fight.
00:37:59.240 But Republicans
00:38:01.240 elected a lion.
00:38:02.220 And they got
00:38:03.540 one.
00:38:04.460 They got exactly
00:38:05.280 what they
00:38:05.660 elected.
00:38:06.820 Right?
00:38:07.860 And what's a
00:38:08.400 lion supposed to
00:38:09.260 do?
00:38:11.300 A lion is
00:38:12.260 supposed to be
00:38:12.980 a lion.
00:38:14.480 So, Trump, if
00:38:16.740 I had to guess,
00:38:17.560 we can't read his
00:38:18.240 mind, but I'm
00:38:20.020 sure he thinks,
00:38:21.700 I mean, I think
00:38:22.780 the odds are
00:38:23.380 really high that
00:38:24.780 he thinks he
00:38:25.360 won.
00:38:27.020 Now, my
00:38:28.720 opinion is it
00:38:29.420 probably had more
00:38:30.160 to do with the
00:38:31.060 actual legal stuff
00:38:32.840 behind the scenes
00:38:34.460 before the
00:38:35.060 election, probably
00:38:36.500 less to do with
00:38:37.440 how the election
00:38:38.040 was counted.
00:38:40.040 But, it's still
00:38:42.380 a stolen election.
00:38:43.740 It's just stolen
00:38:44.680 legally.
00:38:45.720 So, you can steal
00:38:46.560 an election
00:38:47.200 legally, and I
00:38:49.140 think that's
00:38:49.540 exactly what
00:38:50.080 happened.
00:38:51.120 But, I will
00:38:52.620 also add this
00:38:53.360 to the thought,
00:38:54.240 that the election
00:38:55.200 system is in a
00:38:56.200 category.
00:38:56.740 It's in a
00:38:57.880 category of
00:38:58.480 big, complex
00:38:59.980 things that
00:39:01.720 are somewhat
00:39:02.840 opaque.
00:39:04.420 In other words,
00:39:05.020 you and I have
00:39:05.620 never seen the
00:39:06.300 code for the
00:39:07.560 electronic parts
00:39:09.340 of the system,
00:39:10.660 right?
00:39:11.280 That's invisible
00:39:12.320 to us, and if
00:39:13.060 you asked for the
00:39:13.620 code, they
00:39:13.980 wouldn't give it
00:39:14.380 to you.
00:39:14.960 So, our
00:39:15.560 election system
00:39:16.260 is not
00:39:16.940 transparent, by
00:39:18.400 design.
00:39:19.120 It's not even
00:39:19.900 intended to be
00:39:20.680 transparent.
00:39:21.120 And, there's
00:39:23.760 big money
00:39:24.220 involved, you
00:39:25.160 know, big
00:39:25.620 stakes.
00:39:27.500 So, in that
00:39:28.060 situation, if it's
00:39:29.260 complicated, and
00:39:30.020 it's big, and
00:39:30.540 there's lots of
00:39:30.960 money, and
00:39:31.480 it's not
00:39:32.880 transparent, fraud
00:39:34.920 will happen
00:39:35.320 every time.
00:39:37.820 Fraud will
00:39:38.460 happen every
00:39:39.040 time.
00:39:39.560 The only thing
00:39:40.140 you don't know
00:39:40.740 is how much,
00:39:42.460 and whether
00:39:43.000 there was enough
00:39:43.700 this time.
00:39:45.000 So, I don't
00:39:45.620 have any, I
00:39:46.420 have no proof
00:39:47.120 that there was
00:39:47.900 fraud that
00:39:48.420 changed the
00:39:48.900 election outcome.
00:39:49.980 And, I see
00:39:51.400 a troll over
00:39:52.520 on YouTube 0.75
00:39:54.920 saying that
00:39:56.240 T-Rump
00:39:57.220 lost, in
00:39:58.900 capital letters,
00:39:59.640 lost.
00:40:00.680 Now, I've
00:40:02.340 said that from
00:40:02.880 the start.
00:40:04.400 I said that
00:40:05.320 the system,
00:40:06.600 which we
00:40:07.740 respect, even
00:40:08.860 with its flaws,
00:40:09.720 we respect the
00:40:10.440 system, the
00:40:11.180 system elected
00:40:13.020 Biden.
00:40:14.000 I accepted
00:40:14.600 it on day
00:40:15.140 one, which
00:40:16.000 is different
00:40:16.440 from whether
00:40:17.000 it should
00:40:17.420 have, or
00:40:18.040 whether it
00:40:18.400 was fair,
00:40:19.060 or anything.
00:40:19.280 But, the
00:40:20.060 system, unfortunately
00:40:21.580 we have to
00:40:22.200 support the
00:40:22.680 system over
00:40:23.320 the result,
00:40:24.580 if you want
00:40:25.820 the republic
00:40:26.980 to stay
00:40:27.460 together.
00:40:28.720 Sometimes the
00:40:29.640 system is going
00:40:30.240 to give us
00:40:30.660 the wrong
00:40:30.980 result.
00:40:31.800 Actually, lots
00:40:32.420 of times.
00:40:33.400 But, if you
00:40:34.220 tear down the
00:40:34.760 system, you
00:40:35.280 have more
00:40:35.600 trouble than
00:40:36.180 if you argue
00:40:38.020 with the
00:40:38.360 result.
00:40:40.720 So, in
00:40:42.600 my opinion, it
00:40:43.340 is unknowable,
00:40:44.420 but, and
00:40:45.000 then, of
00:40:45.280 course, Josh
00:40:45.860 came back with
00:40:46.660 the courts,
00:40:47.380 didn't find
00:40:47.880 anything, and
00:40:49.100 then I
00:40:49.420 responded with,
00:40:50.880 the courts
00:40:51.400 are not
00:40:51.760 designed to
00:40:52.340 find fraud
00:40:52.920 in elections.
00:40:54.200 And, in
00:40:54.560 fact, they
00:40:54.900 mostly ruled
00:40:55.580 that they
00:40:55.880 didn't have
00:40:56.220 standing, or
00:40:57.460 that it was
00:40:57.820 too late to
00:40:58.460 ask.
00:40:59.540 So, courts
00:41:00.200 didn't make
00:41:00.940 any rulings
00:41:01.500 about fraud
00:41:02.400 in the
00:41:02.660 election.
00:41:05.940 Politics
00:41:06.340 Insider, which
00:41:07.100 I guess is
00:41:07.500 part of
00:41:07.780 Business
00:41:08.080 Insider, is
00:41:09.940 saying that
00:41:10.320 Buttigieg is
00:41:11.020 the most
00:41:11.340 powerful
00:41:11.720 transportation
00:41:12.400 secretary,
00:41:12.960 because he's
00:41:13.460 got this
00:41:13.860 one-point
00:41:14.920 trillion
00:41:15.320 infrastructure
00:41:15.920 bill that
00:41:16.620 he can
00:41:16.940 dole out.
00:41:18.440 To which
00:41:18.980 I say,
00:41:19.820 did I
00:41:20.180 imagine that
00:41:23.140 Biden
00:41:23.520 appointed a
00:41:25.040 infrastructure
00:41:25.740 czar?
00:41:27.020 Did I just
00:41:27.800 imagine that?
00:41:29.140 And is the
00:41:29.720 infrastructure
00:41:30.380 czar not
00:41:31.460 the one who
00:41:32.100 would make
00:41:32.440 all these
00:41:32.820 decisions that
00:41:33.600 were just
00:41:34.040 attributed to
00:41:35.260 Buttigieg? 0.60
00:41:36.340 What am I
00:41:37.060 missing?
00:41:38.940 I'm just
00:41:39.620 confused by
00:41:40.280 the story.
00:41:40.740 Did I
00:41:43.400 miss a
00:41:43.900 story that
00:41:44.660 somebody else
00:41:45.740 was put in
00:41:46.300 charge of
00:41:46.700 this?
00:41:48.500 And who
00:41:49.120 does that
00:41:49.480 person report
00:41:50.040 to?
00:41:50.240 Maybe they
00:41:50.580 report to
00:41:51.060 Buttigieg.
00:41:52.360 But it's
00:41:53.020 still going to
00:41:53.340 be somebody
00:41:53.800 else doing
00:41:54.580 the hard
00:41:54.900 work,
00:41:55.300 right?
00:41:58.400 Thank you,
00:41:59.100 Goose.
00:42:01.220 Anyway, I'm
00:42:02.040 just confused
00:42:02.580 of that,
00:42:03.040 because it's
00:42:03.400 two stories
00:42:04.560 that are
00:42:04.840 opposites,
00:42:05.500 and they're
00:42:05.680 both in
00:42:06.000 the news
00:42:06.280 at the
00:42:06.520 same time.
00:42:09.120 Have I
00:42:09.680 told you
00:42:10.020 before that
00:42:10.660 you should
00:42:11.000 not reject
00:42:11.600 your
00:42:11.800 opponent's
00:42:12.220 arguments,
00:42:12.740 because that
00:42:13.200 never works.
00:42:14.760 You should
00:42:15.120 get inside
00:42:15.680 them.
00:42:17.620 So here's
00:42:18.180 a persuasion
00:42:18.780 tip again,
00:42:19.500 and I'll
00:42:19.660 give you
00:42:19.860 another
00:42:20.100 example of
00:42:20.820 it.
00:42:21.380 You should
00:42:21.760 get inside
00:42:22.440 your
00:42:23.520 opponent's
00:42:24.940 persuasion.
00:42:25.820 Don't say
00:42:26.160 it's all
00:42:26.400 wrong.
00:42:27.980 Wear it
00:42:28.600 like a
00:42:29.020 suit,
00:42:29.860 and then
00:42:30.440 change it
00:42:31.960 from the
00:42:32.220 inside.
00:42:33.340 Now, when
00:42:33.760 Trump was
00:42:34.300 first running
00:42:34.860 for president,
00:42:37.020 he was
00:42:38.420 accused of
00:42:39.000 not being
00:42:39.420 a Republican
00:42:40.000 enough,
00:42:41.140 right?
00:42:41.760 But instead
00:42:42.380 of just
00:42:43.100 being
00:42:43.380 anti-Republican,
00:42:44.740 which wouldn't
00:42:45.240 have worked,
00:42:46.240 he became
00:42:47.220 more Republican
00:42:47.980 than the
00:42:48.460 Republicans.
00:42:49.120 He basically
00:42:49.600 got inside
00:42:50.400 their argument.
00:42:52.460 Does that
00:42:52.740 make sense?
00:42:53.840 Instead of
00:42:54.480 saying,
00:42:54.880 no, I am
00:42:55.480 one, he'd be
00:42:56.520 outside the
00:42:57.020 argument arguing
00:42:57.740 with people.
00:42:58.560 No, I am
00:42:59.100 Republican.
00:42:59.780 I'm Republican
00:43:00.400 enough.
00:43:01.380 He became
00:43:01.980 more Republican
00:43:02.720 than the
00:43:03.200 Republicans.
00:43:05.140 Right?
00:43:06.220 So as soon as
00:43:07.040 he became more
00:43:07.720 Republican than
00:43:08.460 Republicans, it
00:43:09.140 was hard to
00:43:09.520 say anything
00:43:09.900 about him.
00:43:10.840 Because he
00:43:11.360 was more
00:43:11.700 Republican than
00:43:12.400 they were.
00:43:13.320 He was
00:43:13.860 harder on the
00:43:14.380 border than
00:43:14.860 they were.
00:43:15.860 You know, all
00:43:16.520 that stuff.
00:43:18.100 Harder on, you
00:43:18.980 know, police,
00:43:20.360 wanting police,
00:43:21.540 et cetera.
00:43:22.860 So that's one
00:43:23.700 example of it.
00:43:24.880 Let me give you
00:43:25.800 another one, and
00:43:26.860 I'll use it about
00:43:28.640 critical race
00:43:29.480 theory.
00:43:30.600 Suppose you
00:43:31.280 don't like
00:43:31.680 critical race
00:43:32.300 theory in
00:43:32.820 school, and
00:43:33.340 you're arguing,
00:43:34.300 get that out of 0.99
00:43:35.020 my school.
00:43:36.380 What's the
00:43:36.780 other side say?
00:43:38.440 There's no
00:43:39.080 critical race
00:43:39.940 theory in
00:43:40.600 school.
00:43:41.620 What are you
00:43:41.960 talking about?
00:43:43.060 And you say,
00:43:43.520 yes, there is,
00:43:44.280 yes, there is,
00:43:44.900 get it out of
00:43:45.400 there.
00:43:46.120 And then the
00:43:46.600 other side says,
00:43:47.880 no, no, there
00:43:48.580 isn't. 0.96
00:43:49.160 You white 1.00
00:43:49.760 supremacist, no, 0.99
00:43:51.200 there's nothing
00:43:51.540 here.
00:43:52.660 So you notice
00:43:53.400 how being
00:43:54.200 outside the
00:43:54.960 argument gets
00:43:55.660 you no
00:43:56.000 traction, right?
00:43:57.360 Now here's the
00:43:58.020 alternative.
00:43:59.500 Get inside the
00:44:00.300 argument.
00:44:01.680 Critical race
00:44:02.380 theory, totally,
00:44:04.980 totally,
00:44:05.680 uh,
00:44:06.460 totally is not
00:44:08.420 happening.
00:44:10.840 But, do you
00:44:12.520 know what is
00:44:12.900 happening?
00:44:14.020 Because the
00:44:14.700 schools are not
00:44:15.420 teaching critical
00:44:16.160 race theory.
00:44:17.240 So I'm going to
00:44:18.500 model my argument
00:44:19.340 here.
00:44:20.140 I agree with you,
00:44:21.920 Democrats, when you
00:44:23.180 say that there's no
00:44:24.280 critical race theory
00:44:25.280 being taught in
00:44:26.340 school, you are
00:44:27.040 100% correct.
00:44:29.400 Now watch what I'm
00:44:30.280 doing.
00:44:30.920 Before you react,
00:44:32.420 watch what I'm
00:44:32.920 doing.
00:44:33.160 I'm entering the
00:44:34.720 argument.
00:44:35.900 I'm not debating
00:44:36.900 it, I'm entering
00:44:37.840 it.
00:44:38.820 Yeah.
00:44:39.940 Critical race
00:44:40.660 theory, no way
00:44:41.420 that's being taught
00:44:42.000 in schools.
00:44:42.920 There are no
00:44:43.600 examples of it.
00:44:44.720 You can't give me
00:44:45.400 one example of
00:44:46.320 critical race theory
00:44:47.360 being taught in
00:44:48.600 schools, because
00:44:49.180 critical race theory
00:44:50.080 is above school
00:44:51.880 level.
00:44:52.220 It's sort of a
00:44:52.700 college level
00:44:53.440 concept, and it
00:44:55.240 is not in, in
00:44:56.660 schools.
00:44:56.980 But you know
00:44:58.600 what is?
00:45:00.120 Do you know what
00:45:00.820 is in schools?
00:45:03.260 Systemic critical
00:45:04.460 race theory.
00:45:05.480 There isn't any
00:45:06.240 direct critical race
00:45:07.340 theory, I totally
00:45:08.160 agree.
00:45:09.220 I'm with you,
00:45:10.020 Democrats.
00:45:10.840 There's no critical
00:45:11.580 race theory, but
00:45:12.500 there is systemic,
00:45:13.940 meaning that if you
00:45:14.960 were to look at how
00:45:15.840 the lessons are being
00:45:16.780 taught, you can see
00:45:17.640 it's embedded in the
00:45:18.520 lessons, without the
00:45:20.140 name.
00:45:22.160 So I started the
00:45:23.880 hashtag, it turns
00:45:25.580 out somebody on the
00:45:26.720 other side was using
00:45:28.180 it already, but
00:45:28.880 that's funny.
00:45:30.140 Systemic CRT.
00:45:32.540 Now, likewise, when
00:45:33.780 the Democrats say,
00:45:37.140 hey, there's lots of
00:45:37.860 systemic racism in the
00:45:39.160 world, do you say,
00:45:40.860 no, there isn't?
00:45:41.500 We're not a racist
00:45:42.180 country?
00:45:43.040 Because if you do,
00:45:44.160 you're losing the
00:45:44.940 argument.
00:45:46.320 That's a terrible
00:45:47.280 argument.
00:45:48.380 The worst argument is,
00:45:50.020 no, there isn't.
00:45:51.660 No, there isn't.
00:45:52.480 There's no critical
00:45:53.100 race theory.
00:45:54.200 Terrible argument.
00:45:55.680 You'll never get an
00:45:56.880 inch with that
00:45:57.600 argument.
00:45:57.920 Instead, get inside
00:46:01.320 it.
00:46:02.440 Get inside it.
00:46:03.960 If you get inside it,
00:46:05.160 you say, yeah, there's
00:46:06.040 systemic racism, it's the 0.77
00:46:07.480 biggest frickin' problem 0.96
00:46:08.380 in the country.
00:46:09.920 And that's honest, because
00:46:11.720 I think that.
00:46:12.660 I think systemic racism is
00:46:14.200 the biggest problem in the
00:46:15.680 country, as it is
00:46:18.200 expressed by the
00:46:19.300 teachers' unions.
00:46:21.000 See what I did there?
00:46:22.900 First, you get inside the
00:46:24.160 argument by agreeing with
00:46:25.260 it totally.
00:46:25.640 You could call it
00:46:26.640 pacing, but I'm going
00:46:27.500 further.
00:46:28.400 It's not just pacing.
00:46:30.320 You have to get inside
00:46:31.340 the argument.
00:46:32.320 You have to wear it like
00:46:33.540 clothes.
00:46:34.700 And then you can do
00:46:35.420 something with it.
00:46:36.620 Like, you have to put it
00:46:37.380 on like a jacket, and
00:46:39.200 then you can move the
00:46:39.880 arms and stuff, right?
00:46:40.980 But until you put the
00:46:41.900 jacket on, you've got
00:46:43.240 nothing.
00:46:44.340 You're shooting blanks.
00:46:46.340 You know, you're just
00:46:46.780 like spitting into the
00:46:47.700 ocean, doing nothing.
00:46:49.460 But as soon as you say,
00:46:50.840 yeah, can I help you get
00:46:52.000 rid of this systemic
00:46:52.760 racism?
00:46:53.220 And if you will agree,
00:46:54.560 we'll work on the
00:46:55.180 biggest problems first.
00:46:57.200 Who says no to that?
00:46:59.140 Who says no to working on
00:47:01.000 the biggest problem first?
00:47:03.980 Nobody.
00:47:05.280 So now you're inside the
00:47:06.560 argument.
00:47:07.400 You're agreeing that
00:47:08.100 systemic racism exists.
00:47:10.080 And you're going to say,
00:47:10.820 are you happy with how
00:47:12.140 black kids and other 0.90
00:47:13.840 people of color are being 1.00
00:47:15.020 taught?
00:47:16.580 Nobody says yes.
00:47:18.180 Nobody.
00:47:18.520 Nobody will say, yeah,
00:47:20.200 it's doing pretty good. 0.93
00:47:22.000 Those black students are
00:47:23.380 getting just as good
00:47:24.120 education as everybody
00:47:25.100 else.
00:47:25.660 Nope.
00:47:26.620 Nope.
00:47:26.980 Nobody's going to say
00:47:27.680 that.
00:47:28.620 So now you're totally
00:47:29.520 inside the argument.
00:47:30.620 You've identified the
00:47:31.600 biggest form of systemic
00:47:32.980 racism.
00:47:33.940 You've got them to agree.
00:47:36.560 Now what can we do
00:47:37.540 about it?
00:47:38.540 It's the teachers'
00:47:39.260 unions, because they're
00:47:40.100 the ones preventing
00:47:40.960 competition in schools.
00:47:44.200 And without competition,
00:47:45.320 nothing works.
00:47:46.360 Nothing works without
00:47:47.220 competition.
00:47:48.420 No exceptions.
00:47:50.980 All right.
00:47:51.480 So that's how you get
00:47:53.160 inside an argument.
00:47:56.640 Here's a provocative, 0.98
00:48:00.020 sexist, disgusting 0.98
00:48:01.840 opinion that might 0.99
00:48:04.300 nonetheless be accurate.
00:48:08.040 Here's where I might
00:48:09.200 get canceled.
00:48:11.060 I might.
00:48:12.480 Let's see.
00:48:12.980 So this is a tweet by a
00:48:17.340 Twitter user named
00:48:18.240 Stephan.
00:48:19.540 Nobody I know.
00:48:21.700 And on this topic, he
00:48:23.060 said, teachers' unions
00:48:24.300 are predominantly
00:48:26.100 female.
00:48:27.520 The problem here is 0.75
00:48:28.580 female do-good-rism, 1.00
00:48:30.580 which is properly
00:48:31.440 channeled through
00:48:32.180 religion and charity,
00:48:33.940 but in this case is
00:48:34.820 being transformed into
00:48:36.020 a political offensive.
00:48:38.260 He said it, not me.
00:48:39.680 Now, somebody else
00:48:41.600 pointed out that this
00:48:42.920 was Hitler's technique 0.96
00:48:44.020 as well, that the
00:48:45.900 Hitler youth was more 1.00
00:48:48.500 about the girls.
00:48:50.020 Have you ever heard
00:48:50.620 that?
00:48:51.180 I've never heard that
00:48:51.880 before, so I can't do
00:48:53.440 a fact check on it.
00:48:55.020 But the idea was that
00:48:56.680 when you convinced the
00:48:57.880 boys to be like a 1.00
00:48:59.040 Hitler youth, that 1.00
00:49:00.340 worked.
00:49:03.440 But convincing the
00:49:04.880 girls was more 0.99
00:49:06.080 important because they
00:49:06.940 would be raising the
00:49:07.680 kids.
00:49:09.420 Convincing the girls was
00:49:10.860 the important point
00:49:11.820 because that gets you
00:49:12.940 forever because they're
00:49:14.520 the ones raising the
00:49:15.320 kids, right?
00:49:17.840 And when we see that
00:49:19.260 women predominate or 1.00
00:49:21.620 are dominating the
00:49:23.340 teachers' unions, and
00:49:24.900 we see that the
00:49:25.500 teachers' unions are
00:49:26.480 used to perpetuate
00:49:29.540 systemic racism and 0.98
00:49:32.040 keep black people down, 1.00
00:49:33.520 especially, it looks like 1.00
00:49:37.040 a woman problem, 1.00
00:49:37.840 doesn't it?
00:49:42.460 Now, let me stop here
00:49:45.800 and say, I'm not
00:49:47.980 buying into the
00:49:48.680 argument totally.
00:49:50.280 So I'm not buying into
00:49:51.400 this argument.
00:49:52.300 I'm telling you what the
00:49:53.200 argument is because I
00:49:54.020 think it's provocative
00:49:56.240 enough that it's worthy
00:49:57.860 to be in the mix.
00:49:59.700 But every time you say
00:50:00.880 it's all about women or 1.00
00:50:02.260 all about men, you're
00:50:03.440 automatically into biased,
00:50:05.620 you know, bigoted
00:50:06.480 territory, right?
00:50:07.780 So I don't want to be in
00:50:08.980 bigoted territory by
00:50:10.260 saying it's a woman
00:50:11.180 problem.
00:50:12.080 But it is true that
00:50:13.260 women mostly are 1.00
00:50:14.300 responsible for raising
00:50:15.280 kids.
00:50:16.540 That's still true.
00:50:17.920 It doesn't need to be,
00:50:19.200 and blah, blah, blah,
00:50:19.980 plenty of men are doing
00:50:20.900 that job, and plenty of 0.93
00:50:22.140 gays are doing it, blah, 1.00
00:50:23.500 blah, blah. 0.55
00:50:23.840 But it's still true in 0.81
00:50:24.980 general, mostly female
00:50:26.520 raising the kids.
00:50:29.100 All right, let's talk
00:50:30.160 about Bannon.
00:50:30.700 So Bannon refused to
00:50:33.120 talk to Congress.
00:50:34.940 They find him in
00:50:35.700 contempt, and he turned
00:50:37.560 himself in.
00:50:39.540 And then he said he
00:50:42.120 vowed to topple the
00:50:43.840 Biden regime, as he 0.99
00:50:45.040 calls it, and to make
00:50:47.420 the charges against him
00:50:48.620 a, quote, misdemeanor
00:50:49.880 from hell for the
00:50:52.660 Democrats.
00:50:53.760 Now, he believes that
00:50:54.720 Biden ordered Merrick
00:50:56.100 to go after Bannon.
00:51:02.060 So he says it's
00:51:02.860 basically a political
00:51:04.060 witch hunt.
00:51:06.320 Now, here's the fun
00:51:08.580 part.
00:51:10.320 Here's the fun part.
00:51:12.920 When the Democrats go
00:51:14.320 after the founder of
00:51:18.080 Barstool Sports, they
00:51:22.380 can take a pretty big
00:51:24.740 bite on him, although
00:51:25.600 he's doing a great job
00:51:26.540 of fighting back.
00:51:27.660 So I don't think he's
00:51:28.440 going to get canceled.
00:51:29.840 But he's mostly in a
00:51:31.980 defensive stance,
00:51:33.320 wouldn't you say?
00:51:34.580 I mean, he's going
00:51:35.140 offense against specific
00:51:36.580 media groups that went
00:51:37.940 against him, but mostly
00:51:39.700 he's just trying to
00:51:40.360 survive.
00:51:43.500 Alex Jones is, I guess
00:51:45.080 he lost a lawsuit that
00:51:47.940 could be really bad for
00:51:49.060 Alex Jones, and he
00:51:50.500 might, it might be that
00:51:51.620 the left has taken Alex
00:51:53.300 Jones off the field.
00:51:54.260 I don't know that
00:51:55.760 that's true, but this
00:51:56.800 lawsuit that he lost
00:51:57.920 looks pretty, pretty
00:51:58.920 bad.
00:52:00.120 It might, it might just
00:52:02.220 take him off the field,
00:52:03.220 but I don't know.
00:52:05.600 But do you know what
00:52:07.320 Bannon isn't?
00:52:09.600 He isn't one of those
00:52:10.660 people.
00:52:13.780 Bannon has, let's say,
00:52:19.040 let's say Bannon's game
00:52:20.700 is at a different level.
00:52:24.200 And I think that it's
00:52:27.280 possibly a gigantic
00:52:29.260 mistake to give him
00:52:31.240 this much attention.
00:52:33.260 You know what I mean?
00:52:34.800 Because his power is
00:52:36.100 going up, it's not
00:52:36.880 going down.
00:52:38.200 If they put Bannon in
00:52:39.660 jail for this, he will
00:52:42.820 be the leader of the
00:52:43.860 Democrats, he'll be the 0.97
00:52:44.980 leader of the Republicans.
00:52:45.960 And he's not even
00:52:48.140 asking to be, right?
00:52:49.520 He's not even trying.
00:52:51.260 That's sort of not his
00:52:52.500 deal.
00:52:53.160 He wants to be
00:52:53.720 influential, but he
00:52:54.560 doesn't need to be like
00:52:55.540 the top guy.
00:52:56.460 But you put him in jail
00:52:57.620 and he turns into
00:52:58.320 Nelson Mandela.
00:53:00.940 Do you know who
00:53:01.740 knows that?
00:53:03.400 Bannon.
00:53:04.760 Bannon knows that.
00:53:06.220 Now you can't do that,
00:53:07.160 right?
00:53:07.400 He's an energy monster.
00:53:08.460 That is correct.
00:53:09.900 He learned that from
00:53:10.940 Trump if he didn't
00:53:11.740 already know it.
00:53:12.420 But he is anti-fragile.
00:53:16.840 Now there aren't too
00:53:17.600 many people like that.
00:53:19.460 But if they don't take
00:53:21.740 Bannon out, he's going
00:53:23.160 to take them out.
00:53:25.100 So unlike going after
00:53:27.880 some lesser pundits, if
00:53:31.640 you take a run at Alex
00:53:32.700 Jones and you don't take
00:53:33.740 him out, well, it was
00:53:36.100 worth a shot, right?
00:53:38.060 You didn't take him out,
00:53:39.360 but it was worth a shot.
00:53:40.300 There's no real downside
00:53:41.200 to that.
00:53:41.640 Because he's going to
00:53:42.520 say bad things about
00:53:43.400 Democrats no matter 0.64
00:53:44.200 what, right?
00:53:45.460 But if you don't take
00:53:46.620 Bannon out, you're just
00:53:49.680 making him stronger.
00:53:51.740 And I don't think
00:53:52.700 anybody has quite a good
00:53:54.540 sense of how strong
00:53:55.900 Bannon's game is at
00:53:57.680 this level.
00:53:59.540 You're going to be
00:54:00.360 surprised, is what I
00:54:01.620 think.
00:54:02.460 So Bannon has the
00:54:03.360 surprises.
00:54:05.280 All right.
00:54:06.340 Biden had a Zoom
00:54:08.400 call or something like
00:54:09.680 China's head, Xi, and I
00:54:19.340 don't think he went
00:54:19.980 strong at him.
00:54:20.900 Let's just say that.
00:54:23.200 But it turns out that
00:54:24.400 China has now surpassed 0.96
00:54:26.320 the United States in
00:54:27.180 wealth.
00:54:28.320 China is the wealthiest
00:54:29.920 country now.
00:54:31.560 Now, how do you win a
00:54:33.060 war in 2021?
00:54:34.340 Is it with bombs?
00:54:37.380 Well, if a big power is
00:54:39.000 fighting a tiny power, yes.
00:54:41.260 But what if a superpower is
00:54:43.060 an adversary to another
00:54:44.960 superpower?
00:54:45.840 What is the weapon of
00:54:47.320 choice?
00:54:49.060 It's money.
00:54:50.820 It's money.
00:54:51.900 Whoever has the most money
00:54:53.020 is going to dominate.
00:54:54.600 That's China now. 0.99
00:54:55.500 So as long as China has 0.99
00:54:57.480 the most money, they are
00:54:58.880 the most powerful influence
00:55:00.140 in the world.
00:55:01.140 Because that money can
00:55:02.080 bribe stuff, it can create
00:55:03.600 industries, it can destroy
00:55:04.840 industries, it can do
00:55:06.540 anything.
00:55:07.500 Money is power.
00:55:09.380 So as long as China is 1.00
00:55:11.140 richer, Biden is their 1.00
00:55:13.020 bitch. 1.00
00:55:13.960 And certainly acted that 1.00
00:55:15.280 way.
00:55:17.340 He told Xi, Biden did,
00:55:20.640 that he has concerns over
00:55:22.400 human rights abuses.
00:55:25.500 Uh, really?
00:55:28.000 He has concerns?
00:55:30.140 Wow.
00:55:31.540 I'll bet President Xi was
00:55:33.580 shaken.
00:55:35.160 Oh, no, I didn't know you
00:55:36.260 had concerns about my
00:55:38.400 ethnic cleansing.
00:55:41.380 Do you know what?
00:55:43.220 Concerns about human rights
00:55:44.720 abuses.
00:55:45.780 Somebody needs to tell Xi
00:55:47.420 to his face, we believe
00:55:49.560 you're involved in ethnic
00:55:50.880 cleansing of the Uyghurs 1.00
00:55:52.380 and the fact that you don't
00:55:54.440 let international people
00:55:56.000 come and take a look, we
00:55:57.480 consider proof.
00:56:01.020 Nobody can say that to Xi,
00:56:02.400 can they?
00:56:03.900 Do you know that if Hitler 0.95
00:56:05.280 had been in control of more
00:56:07.840 of the supply chain, he would
00:56:09.180 have gotten away with the
00:56:10.500 Holocaust? 0.83
00:56:14.060 Sorry.
00:56:15.080 It's true.
00:56:15.720 If Germany had the same 0.99
00:56:18.400 control of the supply chain
00:56:21.380 as China does right now,
00:56:23.340 they could have done the
00:56:25.020 Holocaust and just gone on. 0.99
00:56:29.220 You know that's fucking true. 1.00
00:56:31.440 You do. 0.99
00:56:32.660 That's what China's doing. 1.00
00:56:34.220 They're doing their little
00:56:35.300 Holocaust, and they're just 1.00
00:56:37.940 going ahead.
00:56:40.760 Nobody cares.
00:56:42.340 Do you know that saying,
00:56:43.220 never again?
00:56:45.780 Well, perhaps, you know,
00:56:47.480 as people use it, they're
00:56:49.480 referring to the Jewish
00:56:51.200 situation specifically,
00:56:53.240 never again.
00:56:54.580 But clearly it's going to
00:56:56.200 happen again, because it's
00:56:57.200 happening now, and we're
00:56:59.260 letting it happen, and we're
00:57:00.720 okay with it.
00:57:02.280 So that's your government
00:57:04.280 right there.
00:57:05.260 Now, I don't know that Trump
00:57:06.160 would have handled it
00:57:06.860 differently.
00:57:09.000 I'd like to think he would,
00:57:10.280 but I don't know that.
00:57:13.560 And of course, then there
00:57:14.640 was the Taiwan question, and
00:57:16.480 Xi warned against, I guess,
00:57:20.120 Biden warned China against
00:57:22.500 doing anything unilaterally,
00:57:24.260 or blah, blah, blah.
00:57:25.220 No, he warned, no, I guess
00:57:26.540 Xi warned Biden against doing
00:57:28.580 anything unilaterally about
00:57:30.360 the status of Taiwan.
00:57:32.240 A Danish newspaper reported
00:57:34.140 that Biden assured China that
00:57:36.200 U.S. recognizes Taiwan to be a
00:57:37.940 part of China.
00:57:40.640 A Danish newspaper reported
00:57:44.000 this as fact, that Biden
00:57:47.140 said, yeah, China, we
00:57:48.660 recognize Taiwan as part of
00:57:49.920 China.
00:57:50.840 Now, I didn't believe that
00:57:52.120 until I asked somebody on
00:57:54.020 Twitter to send me the
00:57:54.940 headline.
00:57:56.220 Sure enough, I mean, he had
00:57:57.680 translate on Google, and
00:57:59.000 there it is.
00:58:00.400 Yep.
00:58:01.300 The Danes believe that Biden
00:58:04.820 just gave Taiwan to China.
00:58:06.720 I mean, obviously, I'm
00:58:08.360 framing it wrong, but you
00:58:10.100 know what I mean.
00:58:11.620 I'd like a word with the
00:58:12.760 interpreters, because I
00:58:14.680 wonder if there was an
00:58:15.740 interpretation problem.
00:58:18.440 You wonder how they could get
00:58:19.780 to that level of fake news.
00:58:21.000 All right, Rasmussen has a new
00:58:27.420 poll.
00:58:27.940 Did I tell you there was going
00:58:28.840 to be something shocking
00:58:29.920 coming out today?
00:58:31.700 Here's something shocking.
00:58:35.240 In a poll, people were asked if
00:58:39.520 they would favor the GOP or the
00:58:41.560 Democrat candidate for the House
00:58:44.100 and the Senate in the midterm
00:58:45.240 elections.
00:58:45.720 And the GOP is favored by 13
00:58:50.580 points.
00:58:52.600 13 point difference in what
00:58:55.860 voters say they would vote for
00:58:57.760 in 2022.
00:59:01.160 13 points.
00:59:03.080 And that doesn't count the
00:59:04.480 retirements, because there could
00:59:06.260 be a lot of Democrat retirements,
00:59:07.800 apparently, that have been
00:59:08.840 announced or assumed.
00:59:10.860 2022 is just going to be a
00:59:16.240 tsunami, it looks like.
00:59:18.220 Now, I mean, you could say, you
00:59:20.520 know, you can't trust polls and
00:59:21.900 there's plenty of time to go, and
00:59:23.160 that's all true.
00:59:25.380 But then I also saw that in the
00:59:27.060 same poll, that 30 percent of
00:59:28.520 black citizens would vote
00:59:31.280 Republican.
00:59:33.140 30 percent.
00:59:34.540 Does that seem high to you?
00:59:36.440 Apparently, it's been as high as
00:59:37.620 40 percent in the past.
00:59:38.720 But 30 percent seems high,
00:59:41.120 doesn't it?
00:59:45.220 Yeah.
00:59:47.620 So, there's that.
00:59:49.400 All right.
00:59:51.340 I told you that quantum
00:59:52.840 computing might be a problem
00:59:54.020 because it can break
00:59:54.780 encryption, but the smart people
00:59:56.780 in that world told me that we
00:59:59.880 now have encryption that can't be
01:00:02.180 broken by the quantum
01:00:04.020 computers.
01:00:04.600 And even the quantum we have
01:00:07.340 now, it's 100 qubits, it'd have
01:00:09.080 to be 2,000 qubits to break our
01:00:10.780 current stuff, and that's not
01:00:14.020 going to happen right away.
01:00:15.020 So, basically, there's a, you
01:00:17.040 know, there's a continuous war of
01:00:18.580 the encryptors versus the, you
01:00:20.780 know, the people who can break
01:00:21.760 encryption.
01:00:22.500 And so far, the encryptors are
01:00:24.120 ahead.
01:00:25.080 So, we don't have to worry that
01:00:26.640 much about quantum computing
01:00:28.100 breaking encryption.
01:00:29.980 That is my show for the day.
01:00:31.860 I've got to go do other
01:00:32.840 things.
01:00:34.300 I hope you enjoyed this, the,
01:00:35.880 hope you enjoyed the swearing.
01:00:43.300 Overconfidence can be fatal.
01:00:45.020 True.
01:00:47.040 Oh, actually, 50 million qubits,
01:00:49.360 you say.
01:00:50.120 I guess it depends which
01:00:51.020 encryption you're going to try
01:00:52.100 to break.
01:00:52.860 That's all for now.
01:00:53.820 Talk to you later.
01:00:54.380 Thank you.
