Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1565 Scott Adams： I Don't Think I'll Be Standing For the National Anthem While My Government is Hunting Citizens

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best thing that will ever happen to you ever, ever in the rest of your life.

00:00:13.980 Somebody's saying that I kneel for the National Anthem.

00:00:16.520 No, no, I don't kneel for anything, just to be clear.

00:00:22.020 I'm not going to kneel for the National Anthem, and I'm not going to kneel for the Black National Anthem or any other anthem.

00:00:30.000 Because I'm not going to kneel for anything, period.

00:00:33.800 I might not stand up, but that's different. Not standing up is different.

00:00:39.180 Well, we'll get into all of that.

00:00:41.500 Let's say that on a controversy level, today will be a 10 out of 10.

00:00:46.040 Do you like your controversy and your news? Do you like it? I know you do.

00:00:50.440 You love it. You love it. Savor it. Savor it.

00:00:56.200 All right, if you wanted to make this day special, more special than it already is, and it's already pretty great.

00:01:03.280 All you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:09.820 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:01:14.400 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Hold on. I'm getting a report.

00:01:18.440 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. This from Ben Greenfield, a tweet says,

00:01:23.340 A study of the Japanese adults found that higher intakes of coffee were associated with a 51% lower risk of dementia.

00:01:30.280 Yeah, and green tea didn't help a bit.

00:01:33.800 Well, screw your green tea. Coffee will take your dementia down to nothing. 0.96

00:01:39.940 And now, a simultaneous sip. Go.

00:01:47.720 I don't know about you, but I do feel my dementia going down a little bit.

00:01:53.960 Approximately 51%, 51%. That's what it feels like.

00:02:01.280 Ooh, antibodies. Antibodies. Coming online. Going hot.

00:02:06.020 All right. You know, most topics in the United States end up coming down to left and right.

00:02:13.960 You've got your Democrats and you've got your liberals.

00:02:17.020 You've got your conservatives and your Republicans on the other side.

00:02:21.180 But there is one topic that does not seem to line up by party.

00:02:27.540 It's the topic of federal legalization of weed.

00:02:30.780 It's the only topic that is lined up by smart people on one side and then stupid fucking idiots on the other side.

00:02:40.600 Am I wrong?

00:02:42.280 Because on the side that wants, you know, to legalize and stuff like that,

00:02:46.660 you've got your Rand Pauls, Republican.

00:02:49.080 He's in favor of loosening up on the federal stuff.

00:02:51.940 But you also have lots of Democrats.

00:02:55.960 And I would guess that if you took all the Republicans who were in favor of loosening up

00:03:00.840 and all the Democrats who were in favor of loosening up, you'd probably have something pretty good.

00:03:05.740 Why is anybody on the other side?

00:03:09.000 Yeah, the libertarians too.

00:03:11.180 Who's on the other side?

00:03:13.580 Because Chuck Schumer is, and I guess some Republican leadership is.

00:03:17.720 This is not about left or right, is it?

00:03:22.940 This is not about.

00:03:28.820 That's the weirdest comment I've ever seen.

00:03:30.700 I'm not going to read it.

00:03:32.260 I totally threw off my game.

00:03:36.160 You bastard.

00:03:37.780 You bastard.

00:03:38.740 You know who you are.

00:03:41.460 That's pretty funny.

00:03:42.860 All right.

00:03:43.300 I'm not going to share that with you.

00:03:44.400 But in the topic of weed legalization, really, let's stop calling this political.

00:03:53.040 There are well-informed people who think we should loosen up.

00:03:57.440 And there are fucking idiots who think we shouldn't.

00:04:01.360 That's it.

00:04:02.500 This is the one topic where it's just smart people and idiots.

00:04:05.700 And it's the cleanest, it is the cleanest topic I've ever seen on this.

00:04:09.840 Are there any other topics you've ever seen in which it broke down not by political party?

00:04:16.840 It broke down by smart people and fucking idiots?

00:04:20.380 Can you think of anything else like that?

00:04:22.260 Honestly, is there any other topic like that?

00:04:27.440 Yeah, term limits, I don't know.

00:04:29.280 Term limits sort of, I think that can be all over the place.

00:04:32.840 Bill Barr continues to be the most interesting person in political commentating because he's

00:04:48.220 doing this, something fairly heroic, which he's trying to turn the ship on his side.

00:04:56.760 But I swear to God, he's doing it single-handedly.

00:04:59.600 It's like he doesn't have any help at all.

00:05:01.200 And what I mean is he's the only person with one eye in the land of the blind.

00:05:07.340 And he's realizing what the left is doing.

00:05:09.960 He can see the overreach.

00:05:12.600 I guess that's the best way to say it.

00:05:14.800 He can see that he still likes the left in terms of general politics.

00:05:19.880 But he can see the overreach.

00:05:22.280 And he's trying to push back about that using his platform.

00:05:26.200 And he had an interview with Chris Cuomo that I definitely recommend you watch.

00:05:33.020 Because, and I hope I can do this justice.

00:05:38.340 But you have to see Bill Maher correct Cuomo in the gentlest way I've ever seen anybody corrected on anything.

00:05:47.500 And it's kind of brilliant.

00:05:51.980 I mean, my instinct was he should have gone harder at it.

00:05:55.640 But when I think about it a little bit more, I think the pacing and the leading are important.

00:06:01.180 So here's the setup.

00:06:03.240 Cuomo says that nobody even understands what CRT means, much less do we teach it in school.

00:06:09.480 It's not being taught in school, and nobody even knows what it means.

00:06:14.500 But it's definitely not being taught in schools.

00:06:17.020 So that's what Cuomo says on CNN, your trusted news source station.

00:06:22.300 He says this to Bill Maher.

00:06:24.080 Bill Maher, of course, knows this is a lie.

00:06:28.060 In kind, right?

00:06:29.840 It's not a direct lie, but it is intended to mislead.

00:06:33.700 It's not, clearly.

00:06:35.540 Because the answer is that the CRT ideas are baked into the curriculum in a lot of schools.

00:06:44.780 And they just don't call it CRT.

00:06:47.100 Because they're not teaching the theory.

00:06:49.060 They're just taking parts of it and embedding it in the curriculum.

00:06:53.280 So that gives CNN enough cover to say it doesn't exist.

00:06:59.400 But it does exist.

00:07:01.640 Bill Maher knows it exists.

00:07:03.160 He says he read up on it.

00:07:04.800 There it is.

00:07:06.100 It's on himself.

00:07:07.840 There's no question it exists.

00:07:09.660 It just isn't called that.

00:07:11.480 It's just embedded.

00:07:13.400 And you have to see how gently Bill Maher, without actually disagreeing with him, corrects him.

00:07:22.340 It's actually really, in terms of quality of communication, it's really good.

00:07:29.500 I don't know.

00:07:30.180 I was just impressed with how he did it.

00:07:32.200 That you could see somebody totally fact-checked.

00:07:35.960 And I guess here's the frame that makes it interesting.

00:07:39.500 CNN is supposed to be the news.

00:07:42.800 So CNN is the one that's supposed to be bringing the facts.

00:07:45.100 Their guest fact-checked them on live TV and didn't even get any pushback.

00:07:53.360 Because he did it so cleverly, there was nothing to push back.

00:07:58.800 It was really done well.

00:08:00.660 All right.

00:08:03.480 Nuclear energy is the new solar panels.

00:08:05.940 That's me talking.

00:08:07.800 Nuclear energy is the new solar panels.

00:08:10.540 Meaning it's the new thing.

00:08:13.480 It thing.

00:08:14.600 Indonesian government said they plan to replace their coal plants with nuclear.

00:08:18.580 Because they have some questions about the viability of solar and wind and geothermal.

00:08:25.040 Now, almost every story you've seen about nuclear energy in the past six months, all positive, right?

00:08:35.120 Any exception?

00:08:36.200 A hundred percent of the news coverage of nuclear energy for the last six months is positive.

00:08:45.500 You've never seen that before.

00:08:47.720 Right?

00:08:48.860 I'm not wrong, am I?

00:08:50.140 It just all turned positive all at once.

00:08:52.260 And not only did it turn positive, but people are getting that it's the replacement for solar power.

00:08:57.940 Or an alternative or an addition.

00:09:00.980 I wouldn't say replacement.

00:09:01.940 This is gigantic.

00:09:05.820 And I have to ask, how much did Mark Schneider's influence on this topic matter?

00:09:13.420 Because he influenced a lot.

00:09:15.920 How much did Michael Schellenberger's influence on this topic matter?

00:09:20.300 Yeah, because I think Schellenberger and Mark Schneider were the two voices that I heard the most.

00:09:26.220 And I tried to boost their signal as much as possible.

00:09:29.380 In my case, I'm just a booster.

00:09:31.940 But I feel like there was this giant battleship that was going in one direction.

00:09:38.080 And there were just a few little tugboats, like, trying to move it a little bit.

00:09:44.020 And I think it changed directions.

00:09:47.020 Yeah, Bill Gates invested in a nuclear power company.

00:09:50.240 That's true.

00:09:53.680 How much did the China Syndrome poison perception?

00:09:56.860 Probably a lot.

00:09:57.940 Because movies make a big difference.

00:10:00.160 Probably a lot.

00:10:00.820 All right, so that's good news.

00:10:03.160 Nuclear is moving in all the right direction.

00:10:05.080 So that's your golden age coming.

00:10:07.660 As Joe Concha noted in a tweet today,

00:10:11.840 Ron DeSantis is holding a press conference today,

00:10:15.460 which is not the interesting part.

00:10:16.920 The interesting part is he chose to do it in a town in Florida called Brandon.

00:10:21.960 And he's going to be at a Honda dealership called Brandon Honda.

00:10:29.700 Good job, Ron DeSantis.

00:10:31.740 I doubt it's a coincidence.

00:10:33.700 Probably not a coincidence.

00:10:35.760 So good job, trolling-wise.

00:10:37.740 Rasmussen Polls has a poll result today that says 55% of people who are asked to voters, I guess,

00:10:48.160 say Bannon prosecution is politically motivated.

00:10:51.420 55% of the country thinks that they just watched a man be arrested without a crime and that the government is doing it to punish him for political reasons.

00:11:08.860 Now, I don't know if there's a crime or not.

00:11:11.780 I'm no expert on that.

00:11:13.500 But it does look like it's a political prosecution.

00:11:17.220 I mean, I guess technically it's a crime because he's not showing up to testify.

00:11:23.040 Also, Rasmussen asked about the O'Keefe raid, you know, the Project Veritas stuff.

00:11:31.900 And 52% of the public say that's politically motivated.

00:11:36.540 Bannon and O'Keefe, two people associated with the political right, and over half of the country.

00:11:43.240 So that's more than just Republicans, right?

00:11:46.140 This is over half of the country in both cases, say this looks politically motivated.

00:11:53.040 There's something happening.

00:11:55.540 Do you feel it?

00:11:58.160 This is part of the story.

00:11:59.700 I'm going to piece together the whole tapestry as we go.

00:12:03.620 But this is important.

00:12:05.320 That it's not just the right who notices now that the government has overreached.

00:12:11.040 Because at 55%, you're way past the number of Republicans.

00:12:16.480 You're into the Bill Maher territory, where even the reasonable people on the left are saying,

00:12:22.060 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

00:12:24.040 That's a little too far.

00:12:26.540 Let's keep going.

00:12:28.960 You heard that Jacob Chansley, he was the so-called QAnon shaman,

00:12:34.160 the guy who was part of the January 6th protest.

00:12:37.620 I call it a protest.

00:12:39.360 He got 41 months in federal prison.

00:12:41.520 One of the longest sentences handed down so far in connection with the event.

00:12:48.440 So he got one of the longest sentences, did nothing violent.

00:12:53.700 Didn't threaten anything violent.

00:12:56.520 Didn't do anything violent.

00:12:59.220 They said that his little flag thing was a weapon, because it had a flagpole.

00:13:03.220 Well, this is a political prosecution.

00:13:10.620 So now we've got Bannon, O'Keefe, and Jacob Chansley.

00:13:14.200 Now, I'm not saying he didn't break a law.

00:13:16.180 I'm saying that the penalty is clearly to make an example of him.

00:13:19.720 And let me say this as clearly as I can.

00:13:21.680 I can't stand for the National Anthem anymore.

00:13:29.380 Just a personal thing.

00:13:30.780 You can do whatever you want.

00:13:32.200 I'm not trying to convince you.

00:13:34.160 And I'm not siding with Black Lives Matter, 0.84

00:13:37.340 and I'm definitely not going to kneel for the National Anthem,

00:13:39.860 because I don't kneel for anything.

00:13:42.840 I just don't kneel for things.

00:13:44.600 It doesn't matter what it is.

00:13:46.180 So I'm not going to be kneeling for anything.

00:13:47.920 But I don't think I can stand for a government

00:13:51.540 and I realize the National Anthem is not the government, per se.

00:13:55.080 But you get the point.

00:13:56.660 You know, our national symbols, they have two purposes.

00:14:02.960 One is to unite the country,

00:14:04.460 but the other is it gives us a protest focus.

00:14:08.400 So they're kind of handy in two directions that way.

00:14:11.940 And personally, I don't want to show respect

00:14:15.400 for a country that would use somebody as an example.

00:14:19.520 If you say right out loud,

00:14:22.680 we're going to make an example of somebody,

00:14:24.820 I'm done with you.

00:14:27.600 That's not a government I support.

00:14:30.620 Nope.

00:14:31.460 You can put somebody in jail because they committed a crime.

00:14:34.960 Cool.

00:14:36.300 But if you put somebody in jail extra long

00:14:38.780 to make an example of him,

00:14:41.040 not cool.

00:14:42.760 Not cool.

00:14:43.420 No respect for that.

00:14:44.980 So going forward,

00:14:46.980 I won't be standing for the National Anthem.

00:14:49.220 And again,

00:14:50.160 I don't care what you think about it,

00:14:52.600 and I'm not trying to convince you.

00:14:54.120 I'm just saying that my personal standard

00:14:55.960 for respecting my government

00:14:58.200 has been surpassed.

00:14:59.860 I can't respect this government anymore.

00:15:02.580 Now, I got lots of complaints about lots of things,

00:15:04.680 as we all do.

00:15:05.940 The government gives you lots of stuff to complain about.

00:15:08.440 But this is different.

00:15:09.360 Yeah, I...

00:15:13.860 Dude, I understand the government is not the country.

00:15:18.060 Fucking listen for a second, huh?

00:15:20.240 Like, some people are already flipping out.

00:15:22.780 Can you fucking understand

00:15:24.020 that I said that directly before you did?

00:15:27.000 All right?

00:15:27.540 So to disagree with me,

00:15:29.340 say something that's fucking different 0.84

00:15:31.040 than what I just said.

00:15:32.900 All right?

00:15:33.280 This guy's going to turn it off.

00:15:34.660 Oh, I'm done with you,

00:15:35.640 because you don't understand

00:15:36.860 the government is different than the country.

00:15:38.180 Just fucking said that.

00:15:40.060 I just fucking said that.

00:15:42.720 Jesus Christ.

00:15:46.000 All right.

00:15:47.100 Go off and be against weed legalization.

00:15:52.680 I think you're on that team.

00:15:54.540 All right.

00:15:56.580 Do I seem to have an attitude today?

00:16:00.120 I don't know.

00:16:00.880 I think it's going to get worse.

00:16:03.500 Stay with me.

00:16:05.880 All right.

00:16:06.480 All right.

00:16:08.180 As long as the government

00:16:10.020 is making examples of conservatives,

00:16:12.320 I'm done with the government.

00:16:13.880 Speaking of the government,

00:16:16.380 there's a national Quinnipiac poll

00:16:19.600 that gives the GOP a plus eight

00:16:23.000 on a generic ballot.

00:16:24.500 What that means is

00:16:25.360 if a generic Republican

00:16:27.100 ran against a generic Democrat,

00:16:30.000 which, of course,

00:16:30.780 doesn't happen in the real world,

00:16:32.200 the Republican would win solidly.

00:16:36.620 Now, of course,

00:16:39.500 gerrymandering and all that

00:16:40.840 doesn't make that a real thing,

00:16:42.680 but it does show you

00:16:43.560 where the public is at.

00:16:45.260 And according to Quinnipiac,

00:16:46.260 Biden's approval is only a 36 percent.

00:16:49.520 And his approval on the economy

00:16:50.860 is 34 percent.

00:16:52.740 And do I need to remind you,

00:16:54.100 it's the economy, stupid.

00:16:55.300 If you're 34 percent on the economy,

00:16:58.800 you can't get reelected.

00:17:00.660 And nobody could.

00:17:02.300 All right.

00:17:02.900 But it doesn't matter.

00:17:03.560 He's not going to run anyway.

00:17:05.920 However, I should remind you,

00:17:07.380 I told you that Rasmussen was plus 13

00:17:09.720 on a similar question, right?

00:17:13.120 That's a pretty big difference.

00:17:14.780 Plus 13 versus plus eight.

00:17:17.080 But they're so,

00:17:18.260 they're both so solidly

00:17:19.720 in the same direction.

00:17:20.580 That means something.

00:17:23.340 I should mention

00:17:24.040 that the Rasmussen poll,

00:17:25.480 which has the higher number,

00:17:26.800 13 point difference,

00:17:29.580 they have classically done

00:17:31.720 a better job

00:17:32.880 of taking a representative sample of voters.

00:17:36.220 Other polls tend to be Democrat heavy

00:17:38.380 for whatever reason.

00:17:40.360 And so I would lean towards

00:17:42.580 Rasmussen's number of 13

00:17:44.340 as more credible than the eight.

00:17:46.260 But they're both in the same direction.

00:17:48.360 So they both say the same thing.

00:17:50.580 So the government will fall,

00:17:52.340 it appears.

00:17:53.780 And it has to.

00:17:55.920 It has to.

00:17:57.380 The government has to fall.

00:17:59.520 It has disappointed us greatly.

00:18:03.800 You want to hear some more disappointment?

00:18:06.220 I saw this in a tweet by Aaron,

00:18:08.980 and I can't say his last name.

00:18:10.540 Who has a last name

00:18:13.120 that I can't say in public?

00:18:16.800 And do you know why?

00:18:17.860 It's a last name

00:18:20.180 that I can't say in public.

00:18:25.380 I can't say it

00:18:28.960 because the last name

00:18:29.920 is spelled S-I-R-I.

00:18:33.280 And if I say his last name,

00:18:34.960 it will activate all your iPhones.

00:18:37.960 So I can't say it.

00:18:39.920 But somebody named Aaron,

00:18:42.960 with the last name

00:18:43.920 that's an iPhone digital assistant,

00:18:45.560 he tweets this,

00:18:48.840 that the FDA,

00:18:50.140 now this is the FDA

00:18:51.160 is asking this.

00:18:52.860 This is it.

00:18:53.440 This is a key part of the story.

00:18:55.420 The FDA is asking this.

00:18:58.760 Is asking a federal judge

00:19:00.180 to grant it until the year 2076.

00:19:03.620 That's a long time from now.

00:19:04.980 To fully release

00:19:06.440 Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccination data?

00:19:09.840 What?

00:19:14.820 Wait, what?

00:19:15.900 I have to read that again.

00:19:17.360 The FDA asked federal judge

00:19:18.840 to grant it until the year 2076

00:19:21.120 to fully release

00:19:23.140 Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine data.

00:19:26.160 You fucking motherfuckers. 0.64

00:19:28.760 You fucking motherfuckers. 0.64

00:19:31.500 The FDA is corrupt, obviously.

00:19:34.940 If you had any doubt,

00:19:38.080 you don't have any doubt now, do you?

00:19:42.160 I have said from the first,

00:19:44.020 and again, this was a personal opinion,

00:19:46.900 that the benefit of a doubt

00:19:48.760 or maybe the presumption

00:19:50.100 would be in favor

00:19:51.620 of the vaccines being safe.

00:19:54.760 The presumption,

00:19:56.060 without definite knowledge,

00:19:59.020 but my personal presumption

00:20:00.780 was that the vaccines

00:20:03.120 were probably safe enough.

00:20:05.640 This changes my assumption.

00:20:09.560 Presumption.

00:20:10.840 It changes my presumption.

00:20:13.100 I think this information,

00:20:15.040 you would have to presume

00:20:16.200 it's unsafe

00:20:16.860 or less safe than they're telling you.

00:20:18.940 Let me be clear.

00:20:20.200 I'm not going to say unsafe.

00:20:22.340 That would be too strong

00:20:23.760 because the evidence

00:20:24.400 doesn't suggest that.

00:20:26.180 But it does suggest

00:20:27.380 that it's less safe than reported.

00:20:30.160 Are you with me?

00:20:31.080 Why would they hide information

00:20:33.380 if it's good?

00:20:35.020 Can you think of any reason?

00:20:37.920 Well, there are two reasons

00:20:39.160 to hide information.

00:20:41.580 Well, one reason

00:20:42.780 to hide information

00:20:43.500 if it's good.

00:20:45.120 There are two reasons

00:20:45.820 to hide information.

00:20:46.640 One is it's bad,

00:20:47.960 so you don't want people to know.

00:20:49.780 But the other is

00:20:50.800 that it's not bad,

00:20:52.540 but people might mistakenly

00:20:54.040 think it is.

00:20:55.140 Now, that's the case

00:20:55.920 with Trump's tax returns.

00:20:57.980 We don't know

00:20:59.440 if Trump's tax returns

00:21:00.600 show something bad,

00:21:02.120 and I really doubt it

00:21:03.500 because, you know,

00:21:04.940 he gets audited,

00:21:05.920 he's got professionals

00:21:06.720 doing stuff.

00:21:07.840 But there's a 100% chance

00:21:09.880 people would think

00:21:10.660 it was bad

00:21:11.240 because it's complicated

00:21:12.660 and they don't understand taxes.

00:21:14.640 There would be something there.

00:21:16.600 So the good reason

00:21:17.500 not to release good news

00:21:19.480 is that the good news

00:21:21.320 can be embarrassing

00:21:22.080 because people

00:21:22.800 will misinterpret it.

00:21:23.820 But that wouldn't be a problem

00:21:26.900 until 2076.

00:21:29.500 You could just wait five years.

00:21:32.820 You know,

00:21:33.020 if the problem was

00:21:34.680 you want people

00:21:35.200 to misinterpret the data,

00:21:37.360 just wait two years, right?

00:21:39.480 Because then the pandemic

00:21:40.960 is mostly over five years

00:21:42.240 to be safe.

00:21:43.600 But if you make, you know,

00:21:44.620 50 plus years

00:21:45.760 to release this shit, 0.82

00:21:47.860 you have to assume

00:21:49.000 they're hiding bad news.

00:21:51.080 What else could you assume?

00:21:53.820 You fucking assholes.

00:21:58.000 Now,

00:21:58.980 I'm going to give them

00:22:01.100 a little bit of safety.

00:22:03.200 It is entirely possible

00:22:04.680 that the government

00:22:05.520 lied to you

00:22:06.400 in what they thought

00:22:07.260 was your best interest.

00:22:09.380 Here would be an example

00:22:10.620 of what that would look like.

00:22:12.300 It could be that

00:22:13.020 the vaccines are more dangerous

00:22:14.760 than has been represented,

00:22:16.780 but you're still better off

00:22:18.180 country-wise getting them.

00:22:20.860 Not individually.

00:22:21.920 Individually,

00:22:23.780 you know,

00:22:24.320 all bets are off.

00:22:25.640 But it might be better

00:22:26.680 for the country

00:22:27.300 even if everybody knew

00:22:29.460 these were more dangerous

00:22:30.540 than reported.

00:22:32.480 It's possible.

00:22:34.180 But,

00:22:35.120 does your country,

00:22:36.760 your government,

00:22:38.180 have the right

00:22:39.080 to lie to you

00:22:41.220 for your own benefit?

00:22:42.500 They could do it.

00:22:43.260 Obviously,

00:22:43.700 they can do it

00:22:44.120 and get away with it.

00:22:44.800 But do they have

00:22:45.760 the right

00:22:46.280 to do that?

00:22:49.300 No.

00:22:51.000 No,

00:22:51.620 they don't.

00:22:52.820 They don't have that right.

00:22:54.880 And for this,

00:22:56.460 the government

00:22:56.920 should fall.

00:22:59.240 The FDA

00:23:00.100 needs to answer

00:23:01.060 to this.

00:23:02.080 And if they can't

00:23:02.880 answer for it,

00:23:03.600 the government

00:23:04.100 needs to fall.

00:23:05.700 This is a government

00:23:06.700 ending thing

00:23:08.400 right here.

00:23:09.300 If you lie

00:23:10.120 to the public

00:23:10.700 this badly,

00:23:11.900 even for good intention,

00:23:13.040 and I don't know

00:23:14.520 if there was

00:23:14.780 any bad intention

00:23:15.660 by anybody.

00:23:16.520 But if you lie

00:23:17.140 this badly,

00:23:17.840 the government

00:23:18.380 has to be replaced.

00:23:21.660 And by the way,

00:23:23.060 I have no belief

00:23:24.640 that things

00:23:25.560 would have been

00:23:25.960 different under Trump

00:23:27.400 because it's the FDA,

00:23:28.780 right?

00:23:29.360 It's not really

00:23:29.900 the president

00:23:30.540 who's doing anything

00:23:31.240 on this,

00:23:31.620 I don't think.

00:23:32.160 Not yet.

00:23:33.240 So this probably

00:23:34.200 would have been the same.

00:23:35.160 The FDA probably

00:23:35.960 would have acted

00:23:36.420 the same under Trump.

00:23:37.460 This isn't even political.

00:23:40.880 Next topic.

00:23:41.660 The U.S. has reached

00:23:43.000 100,000 deaths

00:23:43.940 from overdoses.

00:23:45.700 75% of them

00:23:46.980 are some big numbers

00:23:47.700 from fentanyl.

00:23:49.520 Now that's the way

00:23:50.420 the news is reported,

00:23:51.900 but of course

00:23:52.320 the news is reported

00:23:53.220 incorrectly.

00:23:54.760 Here's the way

00:23:55.460 to correctly report

00:23:56.580 this story.

00:23:58.200 The real story

00:23:59.120 is China worked

00:23:59.880 with Mexican cartels

00:24:01.220 to murder

00:24:02.260 over 60,000 Americans

00:24:03.960 just this year,

00:24:05.140 and our government

00:24:06.180 did almost nothing

00:24:07.160 about it.

00:24:08.580 Again.

00:24:09.880 Now when I say

00:24:10.460 again,

00:24:10.880 I mean Trump

00:24:12.340 did almost nothing

00:24:13.460 about it.

00:24:14.320 I mean he was

00:24:14.720 catching stuff

00:24:15.420 at the border

00:24:15.880 a little more

00:24:16.440 aggressively,

00:24:17.120 maybe,

00:24:17.560 I don't know.

00:24:18.940 And he talked

00:24:19.440 to China

00:24:19.900 and China did 0.79

00:24:20.600 nothing.

00:24:21.280 So that's as close

00:24:22.100 to nothing

00:24:22.600 as you could get.

00:24:24.240 I give Trump

00:24:25.640 a failing grade

00:24:27.260 on fentanyl,

00:24:28.420 and I give Biden

00:24:29.280 a failing grade

00:24:30.020 as well.

00:24:31.000 But I give the news

00:24:32.280 an extra failing grade

00:24:33.560 because they're not

00:24:34.120 even reporting

00:24:34.680 the fucking story right. 0.82

00:24:36.460 The story is

00:24:37.200 China is murdering 0.85

00:24:38.220 60,000 fucking

00:24:39.400 Americans a year 0.95

00:24:40.440 through the cartels.

00:24:43.660 They send the drugs

00:24:44.400 to the cartels

00:24:45.060 to get into this country,

00:24:46.020 and our government

00:24:47.200 isn't doing a fucking 0.61

00:24:48.400 thing about it.

00:24:49.960 That's the story.

00:24:51.320 The story is

00:24:52.240 we're being murdered

00:24:53.060 by tens of thousands,

00:24:54.460 and our government

00:24:55.300 isn't doing a fucking 0.61

00:24:56.380 thing about it.

00:24:57.720 The government

00:24:58.340 has to fall.

00:25:00.520 The government

00:25:04.280 has to fall

00:25:06.180 on just this topic.

00:25:09.200 And by the way,

00:25:09.660 I would say the same

00:25:10.300 thing about Trump,

00:25:10.980 I think.

00:25:12.200 If we had gone

00:25:13.140 this long

00:25:13.900 and Trump hadn't

00:25:15.220 done a fucking 0.96

00:25:15.900 thing about fentanyl,

00:25:17.440 I'd want him

00:25:18.060 replaced too.

00:25:20.540 Just to be clear,

00:25:22.260 no politics

00:25:23.040 involved here.

00:25:24.380 No politics.

00:25:25.600 I don't care

00:25:26.200 who it is.

00:25:26.700 If you can't

00:25:28.860 get this done,

00:25:30.140 or at least

00:25:30.620 try hard,

00:25:32.760 fuck you. 0.97

00:25:36.640 What do we do

00:25:37.520 about drug overdoses?

00:25:38.680 Well, it turns out

00:25:39.420 that there's

00:25:39.840 a very clear

00:25:41.720 way to solve it,

00:25:42.780 because the Netherlands

00:25:43.680 has solved it,

00:25:44.820 and other countries

00:25:45.640 have too.

00:25:47.120 So this big old

00:25:48.040 drug problem

00:25:48.700 that we're wrestling

00:25:49.520 with,

00:25:50.200 it does have

00:25:51.100 a known solution.

00:25:52.360 basically you

00:25:55.040 arrest the people 0.93

00:25:56.120 who are doing

00:25:57.020 drugs in the streets,

00:25:58.220 or addicts,

00:25:59.060 basically.

00:25:59.460 You force them

00:26:00.040 into rehab.

00:26:01.080 You give them

00:26:01.760 a choice of jail

00:26:02.720 or rehab,

00:26:03.940 which basically

00:26:05.020 forces them

00:26:05.680 into rehab,

00:26:06.580 and it works.

00:26:08.220 So you keep

00:26:09.120 arresting the dealers,

00:26:10.880 but the people

00:26:12.240 get rehab,

00:26:13.140 it's just forced.

00:26:14.760 Now, apparently

00:26:15.460 forced rehab

00:26:16.380 works just as well

00:26:17.420 as voluntary.

00:26:18.240 Did you know that?

00:26:20.180 Right?

00:26:20.480 Rehab

00:26:20.860 isn't really

00:26:22.200 a perfect process.

00:26:23.800 It's not very

00:26:24.340 good at all,

00:26:25.200 actually,

00:26:25.780 but it's the best

00:26:26.280 we have.

00:26:28.880 And it doesn't

00:26:29.620 matter if you're

00:26:30.080 forced into it

00:26:30.820 or you do it

00:26:31.200 voluntarily,

00:26:31.900 apparently you get

00:26:32.400 about the same

00:26:33.080 level of success.

00:26:36.680 All right.

00:26:37.520 So given that,

00:26:38.900 as Michael

00:26:39.600 Schellenberger

00:26:40.120 is doing,

00:26:41.680 at this point

00:26:42.700 he's just

00:26:43.160 a national treasure,

00:26:44.680 because the two

00:26:45.580 of our biggest

00:26:46.540 problems in the world,

00:26:47.620 climate change,

00:26:48.920 he's behind

00:26:49.740 the push

00:26:51.160 for nuclear

00:26:52.260 energy.

00:26:53.360 And now

00:26:53.680 the drug

00:26:54.680 overdose problem

00:26:55.460 and the homelessness

00:26:56.040 and all that,

00:26:56.840 he's taken that on,

00:26:58.080 and it turns out

00:26:59.060 that these are

00:26:59.720 problems with

00:27:00.500 solutions.

00:27:02.940 I mean,

00:27:03.240 think about this.

00:27:04.400 We have lots

00:27:05.140 of problems

00:27:05.540 where you can't

00:27:06.100 really know

00:27:06.960 what the solution

00:27:07.600 is,

00:27:08.220 like inflation.

00:27:09.860 I don't know

00:27:10.620 exactly what to

00:27:11.400 do about that.

00:27:12.180 I mean,

00:27:12.380 we could stop

00:27:13.060 wildly spending,

00:27:14.380 but once it's here

00:27:16.400 and we've already

00:27:17.420 done the wild

00:27:18.020 spending,

00:27:18.620 what do you do

00:27:19.140 about it?

00:27:19.880 So there's lots

00:27:20.600 of problems

00:27:21.060 that we don't

00:27:21.500 know what to

00:27:22.000 do about them,

00:27:22.540 but this isn't

00:27:23.080 one of them.

00:27:24.820 Climate change

00:27:25.460 is not a problem

00:27:26.140 we don't know

00:27:26.820 what to do

00:27:27.240 about it.

00:27:27.760 We do.

00:27:28.720 Nuclear energy.

00:27:30.420 This overdose

00:27:31.400 problem is not

00:27:32.180 a problem that

00:27:32.640 we don't know

00:27:33.200 what to do

00:27:33.700 about it.

00:27:34.800 We do.

00:27:35.960 We know

00:27:36.260 exactly what

00:27:36.880 to do about it,

00:27:37.500 because other

00:27:37.940 countries have

00:27:38.540 handled it

00:27:39.080 with great success.

00:27:41.180 We just do

00:27:41.620 what they do.

00:27:42.460 And there's no

00:27:43.060 reason to think

00:27:43.620 that our culture

00:27:44.460 or our situation

00:27:46.900 or society

00:27:47.720 would have a

00:27:48.240 different outcome

00:27:48.880 at all,

00:27:50.520 once you know

00:27:51.200 what the solutions

00:27:51.740 are.

00:27:52.160 I mean,

00:27:52.340 they're just

00:27:52.800 basic stuff.

00:27:56.100 Well,

00:27:57.620 so here's my

00:27:59.700 take on China.

00:28:00.540 So they've got

00:28:00.940 a one-two punch 0.87

00:28:01.820 going on here.

00:28:02.540 So they send

00:28:03.080 fentanyl to kill

00:28:03.940 liberals,

00:28:04.940 mostly.

00:28:06.400 All right.

00:28:06.680 Now that's a

00:28:07.160 gross generalization.

00:28:08.180 There are plenty

00:28:08.660 of conservatives

00:28:09.980 who've died

00:28:10.740 from fentanyl,

00:28:12.180 but it's probably

00:28:13.840 concentrated a little

00:28:15.280 bit more on the

00:28:16.000 left.

00:28:16.300 Now who normally

00:28:17.740 protects the people

00:28:18.580 on the left

00:28:19.180 in this country?

00:28:21.120 The people on the

00:28:21.980 right, right?

00:28:23.780 It's usually the

00:28:24.400 conservatives who

00:28:25.980 are backing, you

00:28:27.020 know, strong

00:28:27.380 police forces,

00:28:28.380 strong defense,

00:28:29.700 you know,

00:28:30.120 protection,

00:28:30.740 basically.

00:28:31.520 But the

00:28:32.300 conservatives are

00:28:33.040 not protecting the

00:28:34.380 people on the

00:28:34.900 left who are

00:28:35.360 dying by tens of

00:28:36.360 thousands.

00:28:37.280 Why not?

00:28:38.740 Why not?

00:28:40.240 Why is this the

00:28:41.420 exception?

00:28:42.680 I mean,

00:28:42.900 generally we have

00:28:43.560 a country where

00:28:44.180 the conservatives

00:28:44.740 are protecting

00:28:45.540 liberals from

00:28:46.460 killing themselves

00:28:47.320 one way or

00:28:47.860 another.

00:28:49.060 But why not

00:28:49.620 this time?

00:28:51.080 It's because our

00:28:52.100 press is preventing

00:28:54.480 it.

00:28:55.200 Because the press

00:28:55.880 decides what we

00:28:56.700 think, right?

00:28:57.460 The public's opinion

00:28:58.860 and what we do is

00:29:00.300 based on the media.

00:29:01.840 So to me it looks

00:29:02.560 like China has 0.98

00:29:03.780 neutered the

00:29:04.920 conservatives because

00:29:05.780 they somehow can

00:29:06.680 control the media.

00:29:08.400 And once the

00:29:10.160 conservatives are

00:29:10.940 off the field,

00:29:11.900 they can just

00:29:12.340 murder the liberals

00:29:13.260 because there's

00:29:14.160 nobody there to

00:29:14.760 protect them.

00:29:16.720 That's what it

00:29:17.340 looks like to me.

00:29:18.860 They just neuter 0.99

00:29:20.440 the conservatives

00:29:21.060 with the media

00:29:21.760 and murder the

00:29:23.240 liberals with

00:29:24.000 fentanyl.

00:29:28.180 Apparently,

00:29:29.000 and this is an

00:29:29.960 unconfirmed report,

00:29:31.220 so put this in the

00:29:32.040 category of things

00:29:33.420 I saw claimed on

00:29:34.760 Twitter.

00:29:36.400 I would need a

00:29:37.020 confirmation on this

00:29:37.880 one.

00:29:38.060 But apparently,

00:29:39.580 according to the

00:29:40.460 story,

00:29:40.680 China is paying 0.95

00:29:43.040 influencers in

00:29:44.020 this country to

00:29:44.960 run a video that

00:29:45.860 says COVID came

00:29:46.680 from the U.S.

00:29:48.280 from a white-tailed

00:29:49.400 deer.

00:29:53.160 That's what China 0.98

00:29:54.120 is doing right

00:29:54.700 now.

00:29:55.800 They're pushing

00:29:56.860 propaganda in

00:29:57.920 this country,

00:29:59.180 in this country,

00:30:00.620 paying influencers.

00:30:02.360 Now this

00:30:02.660 influencer said no,

00:30:04.000 turned him down.

00:30:07.100 But they're pushing

00:30:08.140 the idea that came

00:30:08.900 from the white-tailed

00:30:09.780 deer.

00:30:10.680 Okay.

00:30:14.220 Here's a little bit

00:30:14.980 more on China.

00:30:15.820 Did you know that

00:30:16.660 China, I think it's 0.99

00:30:17.620 the top female player

00:30:18.700 from China,

00:30:21.160 she was a

00:30:22.420 whistleblower and

00:30:23.140 said some powerful

00:30:24.660 Chinese communist

00:30:26.560 guy sexually

00:30:28.360 molested her.

00:30:29.980 I don't know the

00:30:30.460 details of that.

00:30:31.760 But then she

00:30:32.400 disappeared.

00:30:34.240 That's right.

00:30:35.860 Peng Shuai,

00:30:37.260 I hope I'm

00:30:37.840 pronouncing that

00:30:38.340 right,

00:30:38.520 she disappeared

00:30:40.180 and nobody

00:30:40.900 knows where

00:30:41.400 she is,

00:30:41.980 but they've

00:30:42.520 seen one

00:30:43.740 screenshot.

00:30:49.500 Oh, yes,

00:30:50.320 I should note

00:30:52.560 that there are

00:30:53.000 lots of

00:30:53.420 conservatives in,

00:30:54.440 let's say,

00:30:54.780 rural Kentucky

00:30:55.580 who have

00:30:56.800 drug problems.

00:30:58.340 drugs, but

00:30:59.060 the fentanyl

00:31:00.000 part of their

00:31:00.500 drug problem

00:31:01.060 is accidental,

00:31:01.800 as it is for

00:31:03.380 most people,

00:31:03.960 actually.

00:31:04.820 There are people

00:31:05.540 who do it

00:31:05.940 intentionally.

00:31:08.360 But the

00:31:09.020 overdoses are

00:31:09.780 usually the

00:31:10.360 unintentional guys.

00:31:11.320 So this Chinese 1.00

00:31:14.240 tennis player

00:31:15.580 was sexually

00:31:16.760 abused or

00:31:17.660 raped, I

00:31:18.140 think, that

00:31:19.360 is her claim,

00:31:20.200 and then the

00:31:21.080 Chinese government

00:31:21.860 disappeared her. 0.88

00:31:23.840 Now, Rose

00:31:24.300 McGowan tweeted

00:31:25.500 on this, and

00:31:27.180 you know,

00:31:29.780 Rose McGowan

00:31:30.420 got the Me Too

00:31:31.560 movement going

00:31:32.880 in this country.

00:31:34.600 And this is a

00:31:36.860 bigger story than

00:31:38.120 maybe you think.

00:31:38.940 Because, first

00:31:40.820 of all, it

00:31:41.400 seems very

00:31:41.960 clear what

00:31:42.520 happened, that

00:31:43.720 the Chinese

00:31:44.220 government probably

00:31:45.300 raped a tennis 1.00

00:31:46.620 star, she 0.56

00:31:47.860 talked about it,

00:31:48.760 and then they're

00:31:49.540 imprisoning her for

00:31:51.980 just talking about

00:31:52.680 it.

00:31:54.520 That probably is

00:31:56.920 what's happening.

00:31:57.940 And we're not

00:31:58.740 going to get any

00:31:59.240 confirmation or

00:32:00.140 denial that is

00:32:01.240 credible, so we're

00:32:02.040 never going to

00:32:02.440 know what's

00:32:02.780 happening, and I

00:32:03.800 don't think we'll

00:32:04.300 ever see her

00:32:04.780 again.

00:32:06.040 I think she's

00:32:06.960 done.

00:32:07.200 Now, up

00:32:10.260 until now, I

00:32:11.140 have an opinion

00:32:11.920 that China has

00:32:13.180 mostly pissed off

00:32:14.420 the men in the

00:32:15.460 United States.

00:32:16.680 I can't prove

00:32:17.300 that.

00:32:18.340 But when I hear

00:32:19.040 people talking

00:32:19.700 about China, it's

00:32:20.560 almost always men.

00:32:22.220 Am I wrong

00:32:22.720 about that?

00:32:24.540 Give me a fact

00:32:25.400 check.

00:32:25.700 Am I just being

00:32:26.300 a biased, sexist

00:32:27.780 asshole?

00:32:29.060 Or would you

00:32:30.120 agree that when

00:32:30.840 anybody's complaining

00:32:31.760 about China attacking

00:32:32.900 the United States,

00:32:34.420 95% of the time

00:32:35.800 it's a man?

00:32:36.360 Am I right?

00:32:39.400 Now, I'm not

00:32:40.060 saying that there

00:32:40.540 aren't plenty of

00:32:41.060 women who see the 0.98

00:32:42.700 same things.

00:32:43.200 Of course there

00:32:43.700 are.

00:32:44.620 But isn't it like

00:32:45.780 95% male?

00:32:50.580 I'm just looking

00:32:51.340 at your comments to

00:32:52.100 see if I'm way off

00:32:52.920 base here.

00:32:54.500 It's disproportionate

00:32:55.640 at the very last

00:32:56.300 right?

00:32:58.240 Disproportionate,

00:32:58.720 wouldn't you say?

00:33:00.420 All right.

00:33:00.980 So here's what

00:33:02.200 may have happened

00:33:03.760 with this

00:33:04.460 Peng Shui 0.94

00:33:05.860 tennis star

00:33:06.540 disappearing.

00:33:08.920 This might

00:33:09.760 activate

00:33:10.460 American women

00:33:12.040 in a way that

00:33:13.940 they have not

00:33:14.380 been activated

00:33:15.100 against China.

00:33:17.520 It's basically

00:33:18.460 a rape regime. 0.70

00:33:21.200 What do you think

00:33:22.020 is happening to

00:33:22.580 the Uyghurs 1.00

00:33:23.080 right now?

00:33:24.260 Do you think

00:33:24.660 the Uyghurs 1.00

00:33:25.160 are getting raped 0.90

00:33:25.800 by the guards?

00:33:26.600 I would guess

00:33:29.400 yes.

00:33:30.360 I would guess

00:33:30.900 yes.

00:33:31.620 I would guess

00:33:32.360 that state

00:33:33.560 sanctioned rape 0.99

00:33:34.580 is probably a

00:33:35.940 thing.

00:33:37.000 It probably is

00:33:37.580 a thing.

00:33:38.160 I would bet

00:33:38.800 that the

00:33:39.580 Chinese Communist 0.72

00:33:40.540 Party does a

00:33:42.000 lot of raping. 1.00

00:33:44.020 Anybody want to

00:33:44.760 bet against that?

00:33:46.300 Does anyone

00:33:47.580 want to bet

00:33:48.260 that the high

00:33:50.120 members of the

00:33:50.780 Chinese Communist 0.72

00:33:51.500 Party are raping 0.79

00:33:52.500 like crazy?

00:33:53.660 You know they

00:33:54.200 are.

00:33:55.120 It's a rapist

00:33:55.840 regime.

00:33:57.320 And, right?

00:34:00.220 There's nobody

00:34:00.880 who's going to

00:34:01.340 doubt that, right?

00:34:02.840 There's no pushback

00:34:03.740 on that.

00:34:04.700 Is there?

00:34:07.020 You know they're

00:34:08.300 raping like crazy

00:34:08.980 just because they

00:34:09.580 can.

00:34:10.400 There's nothing

00:34:11.080 that would stop

00:34:11.640 them and

00:34:12.080 unfortunately

00:34:13.060 human nature,

00:34:14.100 blah, blah, blah.

00:34:20.760 So I wonder

00:34:22.140 if activating

00:34:23.620 the women 0.97

00:34:24.140 in this country,

00:34:25.040 if that happens,

00:34:25.800 maybe women 1.00

00:34:26.460 will ignore

00:34:27.020 this too.

00:34:27.640 I don't know.

00:34:28.300 But Rose

00:34:28.740 McGowan's on it

00:34:29.600 and that means

00:34:30.200 something.

00:34:31.460 We know she

00:34:32.120 can influence

00:34:32.680 the country.

00:34:34.060 Maybe she'll

00:34:34.520 do it again.

00:34:35.000 So it does look

00:34:42.380 like the Biden

00:34:45.020 regime has

00:34:47.440 turned on the

00:34:48.060 country.

00:34:48.400 and in a way

00:34:52.700 that's hard

00:34:53.100 to explain.

00:34:54.180 But they will

00:34:54.960 be removed

00:34:55.480 from power

00:34:55.940 pretty soon.

00:34:57.280 All right.

00:35:00.020 I saw a tweet

00:35:00.880 from Machiavelli's

00:35:02.960 underbelly.

00:35:04.180 So that's just

00:35:04.920 the name he uses

00:35:05.560 for his account.

00:35:06.980 And he said

00:35:07.480 this.

00:35:07.780 He said,

00:35:08.400 I've been watching

00:35:08.920 behavioral evolution

00:35:10.140 lectures for a few

00:35:11.140 months now and my

00:35:12.560 primary takeaways are,

00:35:13.780 number one,

00:35:14.800 nothing close to

00:35:15.800 free will could

00:35:16.640 possibly make any

00:35:17.660 sense.

00:35:18.780 Number two,

00:35:19.780 nothing we do is

00:35:20.660 rational but is

00:35:22.080 almost always fit.

00:35:23.720 I think he means

00:35:24.520 works to keep us

00:35:26.220 alive.

00:35:27.400 And we are more

00:35:28.320 complex than

00:35:28.940 however complex you

00:35:29.920 think you are.

00:35:30.940 All right.

00:35:31.220 I agree with all

00:35:31.940 these things.

00:35:32.640 But what's

00:35:32.920 interesting is that

00:35:33.760 the way he got

00:35:34.480 there is by

00:35:35.840 watching behavioral

00:35:36.940 evolution lectures

00:35:38.320 for months.

00:35:39.340 and what he

00:35:41.100 was done with

00:35:41.600 it, he thought

00:35:41.980 there can't be

00:35:42.440 anything like

00:35:42.900 free will.

00:35:43.740 It doesn't make

00:35:44.360 sense.

00:35:45.660 Now hypnotists get

00:35:47.260 there a different

00:35:47.720 way.

00:35:48.860 The way hypnotists

00:35:49.580 get there is

00:35:50.160 without all the

00:35:50.760 science.

00:35:52.200 We just do

00:35:53.140 stuff that makes

00:35:54.420 it clear to us

00:35:55.240 that people don't

00:35:56.040 have free will

00:35:56.680 because you can

00:35:58.160 change people's

00:35:58.900 preferences and

00:36:00.400 then they act

00:36:01.060 differently.

00:36:01.800 Like where was

00:36:02.360 the free will?

00:36:02.960 If I can change

00:36:03.640 it, if it gets

00:36:05.760 changed by exterior

00:36:06.760 things and there

00:36:08.340 doesn't seem to be

00:36:09.280 a processing

00:36:09.880 level, to

00:36:11.440 hypnotists this

00:36:12.140 was always

00:36:12.580 obvious.

00:36:13.920 But science

00:36:14.480 takes a while to

00:36:15.180 catch up.

00:36:18.860 All right, let's

00:36:19.440 talk about the

00:36:19.880 Rittenhouse trial.

00:36:20.760 Is there any

00:36:21.080 result yet in the

00:36:21.940 Rittenhouse trial?

00:36:22.600 I haven't seen

00:36:23.100 anything in the

00:36:23.540 comments, so I'm

00:36:24.140 guessing no.

00:36:24.920 Are the jurors

00:36:25.680 still out?

00:36:27.760 So they stayed

00:36:28.400 out?

00:36:29.380 Again, I would

00:36:30.200 like to say that

00:36:31.040 I support the

00:36:32.360 jurors who want

00:36:33.060 to hold out.

00:36:33.940 And I'm going to

00:36:34.400 go further than

00:36:35.080 this.

00:36:36.240 Because we know

00:36:37.000 at this point that

00:36:37.820 the judge and the

00:36:38.840 jury are the

00:36:39.260 are mostly

00:36:39.920 concerned about

00:36:41.480 public reaction.

00:36:43.640 Would you agree

00:36:44.180 with that assumption,

00:36:45.380 first of all?

00:36:46.480 That both the

00:36:47.120 judge and the

00:36:48.820 jury at this

00:36:49.680 point, given that

00:36:51.220 we know there's no

00:36:51.900 evidence of a crime,

00:36:53.340 would everybody agree

00:36:54.180 with that?

00:36:55.420 That both the jury

00:36:56.300 and the judge are

00:36:57.380 completely aware

00:36:58.460 there's no evidence

00:36:59.780 of a crime?

00:37:00.860 We all know that

00:37:01.820 now because we saw

00:37:02.860 the trial.

00:37:03.500 At this point,

00:37:06.300 do you know what

00:37:06.780 the best thing to

00:37:07.860 do would be?

00:37:10.100 For the judge to

00:37:12.740 declare, I don't

00:37:14.640 know what the

00:37:15.000 legal term would

00:37:15.840 be, but just to

00:37:17.460 cancel the trial.

00:37:20.660 Here's why.

00:37:22.100 If I were the

00:37:22.980 judge, I would

00:37:23.620 simply make this

00:37:24.380 statement.

00:37:25.520 We have this trial

00:37:27.680 and the jurors are

00:37:29.940 justifiably concerned

00:37:31.580 for their safety.

00:37:32.320 And that matters

00:37:34.240 because we're going

00:37:35.580 to protect the

00:37:36.280 system.

00:37:38.120 We're going to

00:37:38.720 protect the system,

00:37:40.100 the legal system.

00:37:41.480 And when you have

00:37:42.180 a situation where

00:37:43.060 the jurors are afraid

00:37:44.100 for their lives,

00:37:45.340 you can't have a

00:37:46.260 verdict.

00:37:47.300 You can't do it.

00:37:48.760 And further, since

00:37:50.880 there is no evidence

00:37:51.800 of any crime that

00:37:52.760 was presented in the

00:37:53.680 trial, I as a judge

00:37:55.380 am just going to

00:37:55.940 cancel it.

00:37:57.200 Not a mistrial.

00:37:58.560 Not a mistrial with

00:37:59.600 prejudice.

00:38:00.680 That's too weak.

00:38:02.940 Just call it a

00:38:04.040 nothing.

00:38:05.380 Don't call it a

00:38:06.200 hung jury.

00:38:07.660 Don't even call it a

00:38:08.860 mistrial.

00:38:10.260 Just say, we're

00:38:11.340 done.

00:38:13.100 Just say, we're

00:38:13.600 done.

00:38:14.380 I'll go home.

00:38:15.920 There's no evidence

00:38:16.820 of a crime.

00:38:18.060 Everybody go home.

00:38:21.940 Tell me that

00:38:22.720 wouldn't work.

00:38:24.480 Wouldn't it?

00:38:26.620 What would be more

00:38:27.920 powerful?

00:38:28.540 See, my problem is

00:38:29.740 that if there's a

00:38:31.200 mistrial, people

00:38:32.280 are going to read

00:38:32.860 it as a

00:38:33.460 technicality, and

00:38:35.160 they're going to

00:38:35.500 think he was

00:38:35.980 really guilty.

00:38:37.560 Am I wrong?

00:38:38.820 That a mistrial

00:38:39.660 would make some

00:38:40.700 percentage of the

00:38:41.400 country think that

00:38:43.780 he was actually

00:38:45.080 guilty but got

00:38:45.760 away with it.

00:38:47.280 But if the judge

00:38:48.420 said there was no

00:38:49.740 evidence of a

00:38:50.440 crime, and we're

00:38:53.540 worried for our

00:38:55.800 lives, which they

00:38:57.060 should be, we're

00:38:58.160 just going to go

00:38:58.660 home.

00:38:58.960 Because there was

00:39:01.000 no evidence of

00:39:01.580 a crime, there's

00:39:02.060 nothing to do

00:39:02.580 here.

00:39:04.340 What do you

00:39:04.860 think?

00:39:06.420 Because that

00:39:07.000 would just rock the

00:39:08.480 whole country,

00:39:09.160 wouldn't it?

00:39:10.380 Because there's no

00:39:11.300 name for that.

00:39:12.780 Like, it's not a

00:39:13.460 mistrial, it's not a

00:39:14.460 hung jury.

00:39:16.740 It's what?

00:39:18.640 It doesn't have a

00:39:19.480 name.

00:39:19.860 That's why it would

00:39:20.420 be brilliant.

00:39:22.200 Oh, is

00:39:22.540 disnissed?

00:39:24.380 Is that a thing?

00:39:25.920 I'm so ignorant of

00:39:27.120 the law that

00:39:27.900 summary dismissal,

00:39:31.000 would that cover

00:39:32.120 what I'm saying?

00:39:33.980 Summary dismissal?

00:39:38.220 Look that up.

00:39:41.960 Summary dismissal,

00:39:43.060 that might be

00:39:43.460 exactly the thing,

00:39:44.260 right?

00:39:48.180 Summary, I guess

00:39:49.260 that just means it's

00:39:50.100 so weak a case, it's

00:39:51.300 ridiculous, right?

00:39:52.300 Somebody's going

00:39:55.020 to paste the

00:39:55.900 summary dismissal.

00:40:06.600 Well, I see it in

00:40:07.540 the context of

00:40:08.780 a job.

00:40:12.980 All right, I only

00:40:13.780 see it in employment.

00:40:16.500 What is summary

00:40:17.340 dismissal by a

00:40:18.540 lawyer?

00:40:19.000 Okay.

00:40:19.120 Yeah, it would

00:40:22.180 be a response of

00:40:22.900 motion for summary

00:40:23.840 judgment.

00:40:26.380 Jury nullification?

00:40:28.060 Now, I wouldn't

00:40:28.640 call it jury

00:40:29.160 nullification.

00:40:30.700 A directed

00:40:31.360 verdict?

00:40:32.900 Yeah, maybe.

00:40:35.060 That would be

00:40:36.000 ballsy, wouldn't

00:40:36.700 it?

00:40:37.540 Imagine the

00:40:38.240 judge, I don't

00:40:39.440 know the legal

00:40:40.860 details or whether

00:40:41.560 that's even

00:40:42.100 possible, but

00:40:43.940 imagine him just

00:40:44.880 doing a directed

00:40:45.740 verdict and say,

00:40:46.580 you know, I

00:40:48.560 didn't see any

00:40:49.100 evidence of

00:40:49.740 the crime and

00:40:50.340 I don't want

00:40:50.740 the jurors to

00:40:52.000 do it for

00:40:53.620 this.

00:40:54.340 I'm a judge, I'll

00:40:55.180 take the hit for

00:40:55.840 it.

00:40:56.480 Dismissed.

00:40:58.580 Dismissed for

00:40:59.080 lack of evidence.

00:40:59.960 So that's the

00:41:00.480 thing, right?

00:41:01.560 Just dismissed

00:41:02.220 for lack of

00:41:02.800 evidence.

00:41:03.460 That would be

00:41:03.900 the best, I

00:41:05.060 feel like that

00:41:05.600 would be the

00:41:05.980 best outcome,

00:41:06.660 don't you?

00:41:12.560 Dismissed.

00:41:13.240 Okay.

00:41:13.860 Now, if it's

00:41:14.740 dismissed, it

00:41:15.540 could still be

00:41:16.000 tried again.

00:41:16.500 I think that's

00:41:17.220 the problem.

00:41:19.360 But since there

00:41:19.860 was no evidence,

00:41:20.660 I don't know

00:41:21.040 that it would

00:41:21.420 be.

00:41:22.900 Here's your

00:41:23.520 lesson on

00:41:24.280 cognitive dissonance

00:41:25.560 for the day.

00:41:26.820 Courtesy of

00:41:27.640 Senk Oyer.

00:41:30.180 How do you

00:41:30.620 say Senk from

00:41:31.880 the Young Turks?

00:41:33.640 How do you

00:41:33.980 pronounce his

00:41:34.420 last name?

00:41:35.160 Because I hate

00:41:36.100 to botch people's

00:41:37.100 names because it

00:41:37.780 sounds like I'm

00:41:38.700 being disrespectful.

00:41:42.180 Oh, it's

00:41:42.800 Cenk?

00:41:43.180 It's not

00:41:45.160 Senk? 0.87

00:41:46.120 Oh, it's

00:41:46.440 Cenk.

00:41:46.940 Okay.

00:41:47.380 Well, I got

00:41:47.660 his first name

00:41:48.100 wrong.

00:41:49.600 Cenk Uger or

00:41:52.300 Weeger? 0.93

00:41:53.240 Uger.

00:41:55.960 Cenk Uger.

00:41:57.120 Okay.

00:41:58.260 All right.

00:41:58.640 With all due

00:41:59.100 respect to

00:42:00.140 Cenk, I did

00:42:01.260 not mean to

00:42:01.740 get his name

00:42:02.140 wrong.

00:42:03.240 And I think

00:42:03.880 I've said his

00:42:04.500 name wrong a

00:42:05.000 bunch of times

00:42:05.420 in the past,

00:42:06.000 so I apologize.

00:42:07.520 Well, here's

00:42:07.900 your lesson in

00:42:08.380 cognitive dissonance.

00:42:09.180 So I think

00:42:10.660 the Young Turks

00:42:11.320 were maybe

00:42:11.900 anti-Rittenhouse

00:42:13.380 when it all

00:42:13.940 started, but

00:42:14.600 they watched

00:42:15.000 the trial, and

00:42:16.280 at least two

00:42:16.780 of them, Cenk

00:42:18.200 and Anna, have

00:42:20.160 decided that they

00:42:20.980 saw self-defense.

00:42:23.300 So my first

00:42:25.000 statement is,

00:42:26.180 good job, Cenk

00:42:28.680 and Anna, for

00:42:30.340 changing your

00:42:31.180 opinions based

00:42:31.980 on evidence.

00:42:34.020 I'm always

00:42:34.880 impressed when

00:42:35.540 people change

00:42:36.200 their opinion

00:42:36.780 based on data.

00:42:39.180 Based on

00:42:39.700 evidence.

00:42:40.400 Because you

00:42:40.700 think it's

00:42:41.080 never going

00:42:41.400 to happen,

00:42:41.820 right?

00:42:42.060 But then

00:42:42.340 what happens

00:42:42.740 is you're

00:42:42.900 like, huh,

00:42:44.260 huh, somebody

00:42:45.060 actually changed

00:42:45.700 their mind

00:42:46.080 based on data.

00:42:47.440 Well, that's

00:42:48.200 not exactly

00:42:49.200 what happened

00:42:49.700 with Cenk.

00:42:53.040 What he said

00:42:53.860 in his tweet

00:42:54.400 is that, yeah,

00:42:55.080 he sees the

00:42:56.660 defense of

00:42:58.360 self-defense

00:42:59.460 being valid

00:43:00.440 in this case,

00:43:01.420 but he still

00:43:02.360 thinks that

00:43:02.980 Rittenhouse

00:43:03.460 is not an

00:43:05.040 angel in the

00:43:05.700 sense that he

00:43:06.260 quote,

00:43:07.260 came there,

00:43:07.980 and this is a

00:43:08.600 quote from

00:43:09.100 Cenk in 0.99

00:43:10.060 hopes he

00:43:10.600 could shoot

00:43:11.000 someone.

00:43:12.860 What?

00:43:14.200 Where's that

00:43:14.940 in evidence?

00:43:16.440 Where's the

00:43:17.040 evidence that

00:43:17.660 Rittenhouse came

00:43:18.420 there in hopes

00:43:19.160 he could shoot

00:43:19.680 someone?

00:43:21.000 If you come

00:43:21.680 with a

00:43:23.540 medical kit

00:43:24.880 and you

00:43:27.540 stated to

00:43:28.180 everybody that

00:43:28.780 you're going

00:43:29.300 to be defending

00:43:29.960 some property,

00:43:31.580 you're cleaning

00:43:32.100 graffiti,

00:43:33.540 which part of

00:43:34.320 that indicates

00:43:35.480 to Cenk that

00:43:36.360 he came with

00:43:36.920 the hopes to

00:43:37.440 shoot someone?

00:43:37.980 That seems

00:43:39.720 like quite the

00:43:40.640 opposite of

00:43:41.420 all the

00:43:41.940 evidence,

00:43:42.440 isn't it?

00:43:43.180 Now, again,

00:43:44.560 no matter how

00:43:45.200 much evidence

00:43:45.840 there is,

00:43:46.600 I can't read

00:43:47.360 his mind

00:43:47.720 any more

00:43:48.160 than Cenk can.

00:43:49.260 So I'm not

00:43:49.940 going to read

00:43:50.340 Rittenhouse's

00:43:50.920 mind and say,

00:43:51.500 oh, I see in

00:43:52.300 there no bad

00:43:54.160 intentions.

00:43:55.820 I can't do

00:43:56.600 that.

00:43:57.200 But the other

00:43:57.860 thing I can't

00:43:58.420 do is I

00:43:59.140 looked into

00:43:59.640 his mind,

00:44:00.780 and although

00:44:01.240 all of his

00:44:01.880 actions looked

00:44:02.900 opposite,

00:44:03.880 I can see that

00:44:04.540 what he's

00:44:04.980 secretly thinking

00:44:05.840 is he'd

00:44:06.320 like to

00:44:06.640 shoot

00:44:06.840 somebody.

00:44:09.500 That's

00:44:09.980 cognitive

00:44:10.420 dissonance.

00:44:11.580 If you have

00:44:12.360 to rely on

00:44:13.320 mind reading

00:44:14.040 in public,

00:44:15.900 your argument

00:44:16.600 is gone,

00:44:17.600 but you

00:44:18.000 can't release

00:44:18.620 it yet.

00:44:19.500 So you

00:44:20.200 sort of

00:44:21.020 shift it

00:44:21.480 to something

00:44:22.040 that's

00:44:23.060 adjacent to

00:44:24.160 your argument

00:44:24.600 that you

00:44:24.980 can hold

00:44:25.380 on to.

00:44:26.120 But there

00:44:26.500 wasn't anything

00:44:27.100 adjacent to

00:44:27.780 his argument

00:44:28.220 he could

00:44:28.520 hold on to

00:44:28.980 either.

00:44:29.800 So he

00:44:30.340 didn't get

00:44:30.620 anything.

00:44:31.360 He just

00:44:31.680 got a whiff.

00:44:33.400 Shot and

00:44:33.920 miss.

00:44:34.160 All right.

00:44:37.800 So the

00:44:38.380 bottom line

00:44:39.500 here is that

00:44:40.180 our government

00:44:40.640 has turned

00:44:41.360 against the

00:44:41.900 people,

00:44:42.920 is not

00:44:44.380 defending us

00:44:45.080 against China

00:44:46.200 whatsoever.

00:44:48.200 They're not

00:44:48.920 helping us

00:44:49.540 with fentanyl

00:44:50.640 at all,

00:44:52.080 not helping

00:44:52.620 us protect

00:44:53.580 the border

00:44:54.100 at all,

00:44:56.180 and they're

00:44:57.420 putting Americans 0.97

00:44:58.340 in jail to

00:44:59.360 make an

00:45:00.300 example.

00:45:02.080 To make

00:45:02.520 an example.

00:45:04.160 As soon

00:45:05.120 as you

00:45:05.340 hear that

00:45:05.780 any

00:45:06.040 American

00:45:06.440 is being

00:45:06.880 put in

00:45:07.420 jail

00:45:07.680 to make

00:45:09.120 an example,

00:45:10.700 you should

00:45:11.080 be done

00:45:11.440 with your

00:45:11.760 government.

00:45:12.820 Because we

00:45:13.320 don't do

00:45:13.680 that.

00:45:14.800 That's not

00:45:15.560 the America

00:45:16.200 I will

00:45:16.640 stand for.

00:45:18.140 Now,

00:45:18.940 again,

00:45:19.580 I get the

00:45:20.440 distinction,

00:45:21.180 the government

00:45:21.660 versus the 0.55

00:45:22.280 people.

00:45:22.720 I love

00:45:23.100 the people.

00:45:24.380 So I'm

00:45:25.020 very pro-

00:45:25.960 American

00:45:26.800 people.

00:45:28.280 And I'm

00:45:28.700 still

00:45:28.900 completely

00:45:29.620 pro-

00:45:30.020 the

00:45:30.200 republic.

00:45:31.480 So I

00:45:32.000 like the

00:45:32.320 republic.

00:45:32.660 I like

00:45:34.020 the people.

00:45:35.080 I think

00:45:35.480 America has 0.83

00:45:36.780 done great

00:45:37.620 things and

00:45:38.040 will do

00:45:38.300 more great

00:45:38.740 things.

00:45:40.040 But the

00:45:41.280 government,

00:45:42.480 current

00:45:42.820 government,

00:45:43.620 has to

00:45:44.480 fail.

00:45:45.520 They have

00:45:45.880 to fall.

00:45:46.920 Because they've

00:45:47.660 gone too

00:45:48.020 far and

00:45:48.780 everybody can

00:45:49.460 see it now.

00:45:50.500 You can see

00:45:51.020 from the

00:45:51.620 poll results,

00:45:52.820 everybody can

00:45:53.300 see it.

00:45:54.300 It's now

00:45:55.020 really obvious.

00:45:56.780 Americans are

00:45:57.500 being hunted

00:45:57.920 just to make

00:45:58.900 a political

00:45:59.320 point.

00:46:00.220 Can't live

00:46:00.700 in that

00:46:00.940 country.

00:46:02.140 So that's

00:46:02.700 not going

00:46:03.000 to stand.

00:46:04.220 We won't

00:46:05.040 have that.

00:46:06.020 We will

00:46:06.420 not be

00:46:06.920 Australia.

00:46:08.200 The Second

00:46:08.720 Amendment

00:46:09.100 exists for

00:46:09.960 a reason.

00:46:11.480 This is

00:46:11.900 it.

00:46:12.760 Now, I'm

00:46:13.200 not saying

00:46:13.580 use guns,

00:46:14.180 of course.

00:46:14.880 I'm saying

00:46:15.360 that the

00:46:16.260 government

00:46:16.600 ultimately is

00:46:17.740 going to

00:46:17.980 do what

00:46:18.340 you tell

00:46:18.680 it to

00:46:18.960 do.

00:46:20.180 Why?

00:46:21.080 Because

00:46:21.320 the Second

00:46:21.720 Amendment.

00:46:23.280 I mean,

00:46:23.860 not entirely

00:46:24.440 because of

00:46:25.360 that.

00:46:25.920 They want

00:46:26.440 to keep

00:46:26.660 their jobs

00:46:27.160 and get

00:46:27.500 good ratings

00:46:28.040 and all

00:46:28.340 that stuff

00:46:28.720 too.

00:46:28.920 But the

00:46:29.780 people have

00:46:30.260 complete power

00:46:31.100 in this

00:46:31.380 country.

00:46:32.240 We're not

00:46:32.720 fucking

00:46:33.040 Australia.

00:46:34.540 In Australia,

00:46:35.260 the government

00:46:35.620 has power

00:46:36.180 over the

00:46:36.500 people.

00:46:37.520 Not here.

00:46:39.020 Not here.

00:46:39.960 Not ever.

00:46:41.460 Not here.

00:46:42.220 Not ever.

00:46:44.080 In America, 0.65

00:46:45.220 the people

00:46:45.600 control the

00:46:46.220 government and

00:46:47.380 it's time to

00:46:49.100 exert that

00:46:49.660 control.

00:46:50.220 Now, probably

00:46:50.680 it will just

00:46:51.020 be the

00:46:51.280 2022 election.

00:46:52.880 Could be

00:46:53.400 protests or

00:46:54.300 something.

00:46:55.000 But we have

00:46:56.060 mechanisms in

00:46:56.820 place.

00:46:57.980 But now

00:46:58.360 it's time.

00:46:59.480 Now, if you

00:47:00.180 think that I'm

00:47:00.620 telling you you

00:47:01.120 should elect

00:47:01.880 Trump, I'm

00:47:03.700 not.

00:47:04.700 I'm not.

00:47:05.620 I'd like to

00:47:06.200 see who's

00:47:06.520 running.

00:47:07.540 If you think

00:47:08.280 that I will

00:47:08.780 uncritically

00:47:09.560 support Trump

00:47:10.720 if he gets

00:47:11.200 into the race,

00:47:11.840 you're wrong. 0.83

00:47:13.280 Because if

00:47:14.000 DeSantis is in

00:47:14.840 the race, I'm

00:47:15.300 probably going

00:47:15.740 to back him.

00:47:17.080 Sorry.

00:47:19.660 Now, if

00:47:20.480 Trump wins

00:47:21.980 the primary,

00:47:22.760 I probably

00:47:23.160 will back

00:47:23.640 him.

00:47:23.800 but Republicans,

00:47:26.940 you need to

00:47:27.780 get your

00:47:28.860 house in

00:47:29.320 order of

00:47:29.660 what you

00:47:29.880 want to

00:47:30.200 do.

00:47:30.820 I'm not

00:47:31.160 a Republican,

00:47:31.880 and I

00:47:32.000 won't advise

00:47:32.480 you.

00:47:33.620 But I'm

00:47:34.800 just saying,

00:47:36.020 DeSantis is

00:47:36.820 looking really

00:47:37.420 strong.

00:47:38.880 Trump is

00:47:39.760 stronger on

00:47:41.840 a lot of

00:47:42.220 things, I

00:47:42.640 think, but

00:47:43.480 also brings

00:47:44.100 some

00:47:44.300 controversy, and

00:47:45.260 he's also

00:47:45.620 of a certain

00:47:46.120 age.

00:47:46.580 maybe change

00:47:49.700 is necessary.

00:47:51.540 But on the

00:47:52.060 other hand,

00:47:52.860 Trump is

00:47:53.300 probably the

00:47:53.920 only personality

00:47:54.980 who can do

00:47:55.520 some of the

00:47:56.160 things that

00:47:56.540 need to get

00:47:56.960 done.

00:47:58.140 He can go

00:47:58.900 further against

00:47:59.760 China, for 0.98

00:48:00.260 example, I

00:48:00.780 think, than

00:48:02.000 maybe somebody

00:48:02.540 else could.

00:48:03.700 So Trump

00:48:04.680 has big

00:48:05.400 benefits, but

00:48:06.760 also big

00:48:07.240 costs.

00:48:08.920 I've always

00:48:09.440 said he's an

00:48:09.940 expensive

00:48:10.400 president, but

00:48:11.260 you get your

00:48:11.840 money's worth.

00:48:13.940 Trump's the

00:48:16.980 better story,

00:48:17.560 that's correct.

00:48:18.420 If you do

00:48:19.220 the prediction

00:48:19.800 that the

00:48:20.220 better story

00:48:20.840 always wins,

00:48:21.500 it's definitely

00:48:22.180 a Trump

00:48:22.620 comeback.

00:48:24.060 Definitely.

00:48:25.180 Now, I

00:48:26.200 could definitely

00:48:26.660 support Trump

00:48:27.520 from the

00:48:29.200 get-go if

00:48:30.160 I thought

00:48:31.320 maybe he'd

00:48:32.020 change some

00:48:32.840 of his

00:48:33.160 approach or

00:48:35.220 change his

00:48:35.760 priorities or

00:48:36.400 something.

00:48:37.060 I could be

00:48:38.440 convinced, but

00:48:40.320 not right now.

00:48:43.940 Yeah, what

00:48:44.960 if Trump

00:48:45.400 pivots to

00:48:46.280 the kinder,

00:48:47.700 nicer, lame

00:48:48.700 duck version

00:48:49.460 of himself?

00:48:50.500 Now, here's

00:48:51.040 another thing.

00:48:51.960 Do you want

00:48:52.440 to elect a

00:48:53.440 lame duck

00:48:54.540 president from

00:48:55.300 the start?

00:48:57.440 And I

00:48:57.880 don't know,

00:48:58.240 that sounded

00:48:58.760 rhetorical, but

00:48:59.420 I don't know

00:48:59.740 the answer.

00:49:00.500 Because normally

00:49:02.160 the second

00:49:02.720 term of a

00:49:03.360 president can

00:49:04.340 be a little

00:49:04.740 dicey, because

00:49:05.500 everybody knows

00:49:06.120 they're on

00:49:06.380 the way out.

00:49:07.540 If Trump

00:49:08.320 is elected,

00:49:08.940 it's his

00:49:09.240 second term.

00:49:10.680 So he's a

00:49:11.460 certain age,

00:49:12.140 and he's

00:49:13.120 sort of, you

00:49:13.820 know, on

00:49:14.640 the way

00:49:14.900 out.

00:49:15.860 DeSantis

00:49:16.300 would be a

00:49:17.200 first-term

00:49:17.760 president with

00:49:18.480 another term

00:49:19.120 to go.

00:49:20.280 So if you

00:49:20.900 wanted to

00:49:21.280 hold power

00:49:22.080 for longer,

00:49:24.600 DeSantis is

00:49:25.540 a better

00:49:25.840 bet.

00:49:27.820 Because Trump

00:49:28.500 could easily

00:49:29.080 turn the

00:49:29.540 country, you

00:49:30.340 know, flip

00:49:30.780 the Congress

00:49:31.480 back the

00:49:31.880 other direction,

00:49:32.620 just because

00:49:33.100 people get

00:49:33.540 worked up

00:49:34.000 about him.

00:49:36.080 No way in

00:49:36.980 hell would I

00:49:37.400 vote for

00:49:37.800 Scott.

00:49:40.480 Am I

00:49:41.120 running?

00:49:43.120 Better to

00:49:44.120 have Trump

00:49:44.480 as vice

00:49:44.940 president.

00:49:45.560 If you

00:49:47.080 want Trump

00:49:47.500 to have

00:49:47.820 a third

00:49:48.840 term, just

00:49:50.440 vote for

00:49:50.860 somebody who

00:49:51.420 will do

00:49:51.680 whatever Trump

00:49:52.200 tells him

00:49:52.560 to do.

00:49:54.220 You could

00:49:54.820 get it that

00:49:55.260 way.

00:49:56.660 Can you

00:49:57.140 talk about

00:49:57.480 how the

00:49:57.700 grocery industry

00:49:58.460 is corrupt?

00:49:59.740 I'll give you

00:50:00.160 one example.

00:50:01.080 When I had

00:50:01.460 my product,

00:50:02.280 it got

00:50:02.700 placed into

00:50:04.100 7-Elevens,

00:50:06.080 which is a

00:50:06.620 gigantic,

00:50:07.680 you know,

00:50:08.600 break for a

00:50:09.380 new food

00:50:10.040 company.

00:50:10.540 We actually

00:50:10.980 got a shelf

00:50:11.440 space on

00:50:12.000 7-Elevens.

00:50:13.280 And then

00:50:13.920 when we

00:50:14.260 went to

00:50:14.680 check to

00:50:15.340 see how

00:50:15.700 it was

00:50:16.080 doing,

00:50:17.160 we couldn't

00:50:17.700 find it

00:50:18.080 anywhere on

00:50:18.540 the shelf.

00:50:20.200 Oh, it

00:50:20.480 was there.

00:50:22.060 But the

00:50:23.160 other food

00:50:23.960 companies,

00:50:25.180 Kraft in

00:50:25.720 particular,

00:50:26.700 they have

00:50:27.140 people on

00:50:27.580 the ground

00:50:27.940 who will

00:50:28.200 come in

00:50:28.520 and put

00:50:28.920 their product

00:50:29.420 in front

00:50:29.840 of your

00:50:30.080 product if

00:50:30.660 it's a

00:50:30.960 competing

00:50:31.260 product.

00:50:32.480 So it's

00:50:33.220 a known

00:50:33.760 thing.

00:50:34.160 It's called

00:50:34.360 burying it

00:50:34.820 on the

00:50:35.060 shelf.

00:50:36.360 So the

00:50:37.080 food business

00:50:38.300 is, and

00:50:39.060 then Safeway,

00:50:40.440 I'll name

00:50:40.900 names,

00:50:41.240 Safeway is

00:50:42.680 essentially a

00:50:43.560 fraudulent

00:50:45.000 operation, the

00:50:47.480 way they

00:50:47.780 treat the

00:50:48.280 vendors who

00:50:49.080 provide food.

00:50:50.240 So they'll

00:50:50.640 sell you some

00:50:51.220 space on the

00:50:51.840 bottom shelf,

00:50:54.640 and when I

00:50:55.140 say sell it

00:50:55.780 to you, I

00:50:56.220 mean they'll,

00:50:56.920 they make you

00:50:57.460 pay to be in

00:50:58.020 the store.

00:50:59.080 And then after

00:50:59.760 you've paid as

00:51:00.360 much as you're

00:51:00.860 going to pay,

00:51:01.320 they say,

00:51:01.720 well, there

00:51:02.020 was another

00:51:02.360 fee.

00:51:03.480 You say,

00:51:04.060 what?

00:51:04.420 We didn't

00:51:04.720 negotiate any

00:51:05.280 other fee.

00:51:06.040 We've paid

00:51:06.480 everything we're

00:51:07.000 going to pay

00:51:07.400 to be on the

00:51:07.860 shelf.

00:51:08.660 They say,

00:51:09.080 well, you

00:51:09.480 know, you

00:51:09.660 don't have

00:51:09.980 to, but

00:51:10.360 we'll take

00:51:10.700 you off the

00:51:11.080 shelf.

00:51:11.960 And you

00:51:12.140 say, okay,

00:51:12.640 okay, I'll

00:51:13.440 pay this

00:51:13.780 extra fee.

00:51:15.000 Just keep

00:51:15.460 us on the

00:51:15.880 shelf.

00:51:16.760 And the

00:51:17.220 next month

00:51:17.760 they give

00:51:18.100 you another

00:51:18.860 extra fee.

00:51:20.380 And you

00:51:20.820 say, wait

00:51:21.140 a minute,

00:51:21.800 this is now

00:51:22.960 an extra fee

00:51:23.640 on top of

00:51:24.120 an extra fee.

00:51:25.360 None of

00:51:25.660 this was

00:51:25.960 ever discussed.

00:51:26.660 And they

00:51:27.680 say, you

00:51:28.720 don't have

00:51:29.060 to pay

00:51:29.380 it.

00:51:30.380 You

00:51:30.560 can just

00:51:30.860 be off

00:51:31.780 the

00:51:31.940 shelf.

00:51:34.060 So, yeah,

00:51:35.240 Safeway,

00:51:36.100 Kraft, those

00:51:37.480 are corrupt

00:51:38.040 corporations.

00:51:40.100 And they run

00:51:41.320 a corrupt

00:51:41.640 business.

00:51:42.700 And the food

00:51:43.380 industry in

00:51:43.880 general is

00:51:44.300 like that,

00:51:44.760 actually.

00:51:49.160 All right, I

00:51:49.980 need to run.

00:51:51.440 Can't stay long

00:51:52.240 today.

00:51:52.720 And I'll

00:51:53.180 talk to you

00:51:53.680 tomorrow.

00:51:53.940 Bye.

00:51:54.960 Bye.
