Summary

The dad who said "Let's go, Joe Biden" on a phone call to his son is the most ordinary guy name I've ever heard, and he did it in a rather clever way that got him in trouble with the White House.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best thing that's ever happened.
00:00:04.420 Better than Christmas? Yeah, yeah.
00:00:07.680 And Christmas was pretty good for a lot of you.
00:00:10.540 Not for everybody.
00:00:14.200 That's funnier to the people who saw me a minute ago on Locals.
00:00:19.400 I always give the Locals people a little extra time.
00:00:22.460 So they always have a little more backstory than you do on YouTube.
00:00:25.340 But anyway, if you'd like to take your peak experience up to a new level,
00:00:30.200 and I think you do.
00:00:32.100 Yeah, I think you do.
00:00:33.180 All you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,
00:00:35.920 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:39.840 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:44.420 I like coffee.
00:00:46.540 And join me now.
00:00:48.000 I'm trying to ignore a meme that's playing on the Locals platform
00:00:51.960 because they can plug memes into their comments.
00:00:55.440 I'm trying not to see that Santa Claus.
00:00:57.500 But it is funny.
00:01:00.880 Anyway, join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:01:05.660 The dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:08.100 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.
00:01:10.080 Go!
00:01:10.220 Jack, you finally made it for the live sip.
00:01:17.520 It's about damn time.
00:01:19.920 Everybody say hi to Jack Posobiec over on YouTube.
00:01:23.340 Jack, you saved me yesterday.
00:01:28.820 I was in the middle of a pitched troll battle.
00:01:34.720 And Jack sent me some information, Jack Posobiec,
00:01:38.720 sent me some information that helped me in my struggle.
00:01:43.540 So we'll talk about that in a minute.
00:01:47.800 So you're all following, I know, the story of the dad who said,
00:01:52.900 let's go, Brandon, on the phone call to Biden, right?
00:01:56.440 Everybody knows that story.
00:01:57.520 I don't have to give any more background on it.
00:01:59.140 And now the man who said it, Jared Schmeck, which is just the best name.
00:02:06.760 If there had to be somebody in this story, you know,
00:02:10.580 who's basically just an ordinary guy.
00:02:13.740 So it's a story about an ordinary guy doing something that made national attention.
00:02:18.220 And if you're going to do a story about an ordinary guy,
00:02:21.120 his name should be Jared Schmeck.
00:02:23.000 That's the most ordinary guy name I've ever heard.
00:02:29.760 Anyway, he said that although he believes Biden could be doing a better job,
00:02:35.780 he did not intend any disrespect.
00:02:41.280 He did not intend any disrespect.
00:02:44.600 Have we reached a point where it doesn't matter what you see with your own eyes,
00:02:51.260 people could just say anything.
00:02:53.980 No, I'm not sitting here talking to you right now.
00:02:57.520 I know it seems like it, but I'm not.
00:03:01.140 I know, I know.
00:03:02.860 You hear me, you see me.
00:03:04.900 It's a live stream.
00:03:06.320 You would naturally think that I'm here talking to you.
00:03:08.880 But no, I'm actually elsewhere.
00:03:11.860 You can just, you can literally say anything now.
00:03:15.320 There is no limitation to what you can say in public with a straight face.
00:03:21.260 Yeah, I'm actually a lizard man from the planet Kalapakabaka.
00:03:26.900 Sure.
00:03:28.480 Can't prove it isn't true.
00:03:31.160 So yes, he actually said,
00:03:34.520 F you, Joe Biden, in the clever, let's go Brandon way,
00:03:40.600 on a phone call that was publicized,
00:03:42.860 and I didn't intend any disrespect.
00:03:44.820 There was no disrespect intended there at all.
00:03:52.360 Well, as other people have noted,
00:03:54.980 this is the least important story in the world,
00:03:57.200 but there's not much else going on.
00:03:59.160 So we might as well talk about this.
00:04:02.860 I don't think there's any importance to this story whatsoever.
00:04:05.920 It was a prank.
00:04:07.160 It would be, to me, it would be boring if other people did it in the future.
00:04:10.860 The fact that one guy did it once in this rather clever way,
00:04:16.480 that's a good story.
00:04:18.800 It doesn't mean anything, you know,
00:04:20.580 and it was disrespectful, but, you know,
00:04:24.260 in a funny way it was disrespectful, but it was disrespectful.
00:04:29.000 Anyway, there's nothing to say about it.
00:04:30.940 So there's, you've heard about these 3D printed homes
00:04:34.900 where they bring in a big 3D printer that's got a big arm,
00:04:38.440 and the arm will go around and print you up a home.
00:04:41.880 Apparently you can make a home in 12 hours
00:04:44.300 compared to months for construction.
00:04:47.880 And now there's a 1,200-square-foot home
00:04:50.120 that was just built, two full baths,
00:04:53.640 and it was built from concrete with a 3D printer.
00:04:56.660 And it's a Habitat for Humanity home.
00:05:00.260 I think it's the first one that they've done with 3D printing.
00:05:02.860 Now, I guess they 3D print it,
00:05:04.320 but then they, you know, they have to run in and add a few things.
00:05:07.060 But I'm not so sure that this is a story about 3D printing.
00:05:14.520 Because the 3D printing is really a simplifier, right?
00:05:18.300 What it does is simplify.
00:05:20.220 But what happens when you want to change a wall?
00:05:24.540 How do you do that when it's concrete?
00:05:27.080 Can you do that?
00:05:27.740 Chuck Haney over on YouTube is yelling at me in caps.
00:05:38.380 There is a lot to say about that phone call.
00:05:41.460 That's how you pronounce caps.
00:05:43.480 Either they keep Biden in the dark,
00:05:45.140 or his memory is really bad.
00:05:47.040 Stop shilling, Scott!
00:05:48.860 Stop shilling!
00:05:50.200 So now there's somebody on YouTube
00:05:51.460 who thinks I'm shilling for Biden.
00:05:53.100 Really?
00:05:56.740 Does anybody else think that?
00:06:02.820 And Chuck says, in all caps,
00:06:05.320 You saw it, didn't you?
00:06:07.060 Question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark.
00:06:10.440 Yes, Chuck, I saw it.
00:06:12.700 Is it news that President Biden
00:06:15.200 sometimes says confusing things in public?
00:06:18.620 Is that what I missed?
00:06:20.260 Brand new?
00:06:20.800 It's like the first time we've been exposed to this concept
00:06:24.600 that the President sometimes will be confused in public?
00:06:28.940 Is that why you're shouting at me, Chuck, in all caps?
00:06:34.360 Mike Zervich.
00:06:36.420 Wake up, bro.
00:06:40.260 All right.
00:06:41.180 Yes, we all know,
00:06:42.440 I think everybody knows that Biden is a bit degraded.
00:06:46.260 I'm not sure that that's a real story.
00:06:47.720 Anyway, these 3D printed houses.
00:06:52.600 Here's what houses should be.
00:06:55.060 Are you ready for this?
00:06:56.480 All of your parts should be one square foot
00:06:59.120 or something that is divisible,
00:07:01.700 you know, evenly into one foot components.
00:07:05.380 Why?
00:07:06.700 Because, because if you could build a house
00:07:10.040 without having to cut anything,
00:07:12.240 you could probably build it in 12 hours.
00:07:14.000 Don't you think you could build a house in 12 hours
00:07:17.980 if you didn't have to cut anything?
00:07:21.020 You just snapped it together?
00:07:22.840 The reason that modern homes are so expensive
00:07:25.760 is that everything's made,
00:07:27.880 like, even when they're building a bunch of models,
00:07:30.840 each model still requires a lot of cutting
00:07:32.920 for no particular reason.
00:07:36.220 I don't know, to make work for carpenters or something.
00:07:38.620 If you just shipped the components the size that they ought to be
00:07:42.760 in one square, you know, that are one square foot,
00:07:45.900 you want to build a wall?
00:07:47.680 Put up one square foot tiles
00:07:49.340 until you've got a wall that's exactly 9 or 10 feet tall.
00:07:54.500 So you shouldn't ever have to cut anything.
00:07:57.100 And you also shouldn't have to worry about your building codes
00:07:59.680 if you build, you know, to a kit specification.
00:08:03.320 So I think the real story here is that if you make homes
00:08:07.520 that can be built quickly,
00:08:09.800 then you will build them quickly.
00:08:12.660 If you make them so that they can't be built quickly,
00:08:15.400 meaning you have to cut every piece of wood,
00:08:17.880 and you've got to...
00:08:18.960 Also, anything that requires you to add a liquid,
00:08:22.380 such as a concrete,
00:08:24.540 you're already harder than it needs to be.
00:08:27.660 Anyway.
00:08:27.980 So I think homes will be customized and turned into kits
00:08:33.560 that people can make their own home
00:08:36.240 in 12 hours without a 3D printer.
00:08:38.840 It'll be much more flexible
00:08:40.040 because then you can unassemble it
00:08:42.440 and move a wall if you need to
00:08:43.740 because it's just a kit.
00:08:46.040 Someday.
00:08:47.880 Do this.
00:08:48.880 Here's an experiment.
00:08:49.820 Click on the first story about COVID you see.
00:08:52.980 Just do a search engine,
00:08:54.640 doesn't matter which search engine,
00:08:55.760 and search for COVID.
00:08:58.780 And then look at the stories
00:09:00.340 that come up on the front page.
00:09:02.300 And then read them
00:09:03.400 and see if they mention death rates.
00:09:07.540 They don't.
00:09:09.740 The stories about COVID
00:09:11.360 completely ignore death rates now.
00:09:13.660 They might mention them
00:09:14.680 like they're going up or down,
00:09:16.040 but they don't report it anymore.
00:09:18.460 What was the current death rate per day
00:09:21.680 of COVID deaths in the United States yesterday?
00:09:25.760 Used to be on the,
00:09:29.400 right on CNN's page there all the time, right?
00:09:37.740 Yeah.
00:09:38.920 So here's the related story.
00:09:41.940 Apparently South Africa has dropped quarantine
00:09:44.480 for people who have tested positive.
00:09:48.500 I need to say that again
00:09:50.180 because that's such a big statement
00:09:52.120 that you're going to think you misheard it.
00:09:56.220 South Africa,
00:09:57.260 which has already gone through its Omicron wave,
00:10:00.940 South Africa
00:10:01.680 just officially
00:10:03.700 dropped quarantines
00:10:06.340 for people who even test positive.
00:10:10.300 You can go to work
00:10:11.800 tested positive in South Africa.
00:10:14.860 It's over.
00:10:18.040 It's over.
00:10:19.620 In South Africa.
00:10:21.420 And, you know,
00:10:22.000 we're probably three weeks away
00:10:23.740 from being at a place
00:10:24.840 where we can make that decision.
00:10:26.780 What would three weeks put us?
00:10:29.320 Pretty close to February 1st.
00:10:31.820 February 1st is actually,
00:10:33.400 I don't know if you realize
00:10:34.680 that that's a well-chosen date,
00:10:36.960 as in Feb 1,
00:10:38.120 the public is done.
00:10:39.520 Done with the limitations
00:10:41.660 and the quarantines and stuff.
00:10:43.700 And I feel like that date
00:10:46.160 is well-chosen, don't you?
00:10:48.120 And I feel like we could be helpful,
00:10:51.020 we the public.
00:10:52.140 I believe that we could be helpful
00:10:54.160 in helping our government
00:10:56.120 just focus on a time specific.
00:11:00.220 Because if you don't focus
00:11:01.580 on a time specific,
00:11:02.760 you just don't ever do anything.
00:11:05.020 It's the most well-known management concept
00:11:08.560 is if you don't have
00:11:10.100 a specific direction
00:11:11.260 that everybody knows,
00:11:12.400 you're not going to go there.
00:11:14.580 Everybody has to know
00:11:15.500 where you're going
00:11:16.060 or you don't get there.
00:11:17.740 So if we're not picking a date
00:11:19.780 and trying to manage to it,
00:11:22.140 now it's okay if you change the date,
00:11:24.440 if you have reasons.
00:11:26.120 Then you just change to a new date,
00:11:27.560 but then you're always managing to a date.
00:11:29.960 You know, the government's
00:11:31.060 a terrible tool for this stuff
00:11:32.780 because if they get embarrassed once,
00:11:34.700 they can't do it that way again.
00:11:36.600 So if the government
00:11:37.320 ever picks a date for anything,
00:11:39.240 you know, like two weeks
00:11:40.200 to slow the spread,
00:11:41.340 and they become embarrassed by it,
00:11:44.000 they can't do it again.
00:11:45.780 But a corporation
00:11:46.720 is just going to do what made sense.
00:11:49.000 Right?
00:11:49.180 They're not going to worry
00:11:49.840 that it was embarrassing last time.
00:11:51.580 It either makes sense
00:11:53.080 or it doesn't.
00:11:53.800 Right?
00:11:54.420 So in a corporation,
00:11:55.420 it would get done.
00:11:59.660 All right.
00:12:00.820 So sort of a weird
00:12:02.120 low news day here today,
00:12:03.700 so we'll talk about
00:12:04.340 a few things that...
00:12:06.220 So South Africa
00:12:07.000 is not doing quarantines,
00:12:08.920 not doing contact tracing,
00:12:11.420 and they're not even doing
00:12:12.780 COVID tests
00:12:14.560 for asymptomatic people.
00:12:16.180 Why?
00:12:17.160 In other words,
00:12:17.960 if you don't have
00:12:18.640 obvious symptoms,
00:12:20.220 you don't even get a test.
00:12:22.080 So they're not preemptively
00:12:23.520 testing people
00:12:24.220 just in case.
00:12:26.140 It's over.
00:12:27.680 Now, for those of you
00:12:28.920 who believe
00:12:29.480 that we're entering
00:12:30.320 some kind of a permanent,
00:12:32.880 I don't know what,
00:12:33.660 authoritarian control situation,
00:12:37.480 I've always predicted
00:12:38.800 that when it was over,
00:12:39.920 it would be over.
00:12:41.400 It just isn't over yet.
00:12:43.280 In South Africa,
00:12:44.380 it looks like it's over.
00:12:45.840 And I think they're
00:12:46.440 three weeks ahead of us.
00:12:48.820 I think we're in
00:12:49.880 really good shape.
00:12:51.920 Really good shape.
00:12:53.260 What about Australia,
00:12:54.440 you say?
00:12:54.740 Well, Australia will have to deal
00:12:56.300 with the same Omicron situation.
00:12:59.200 If Omicron sweeps
00:13:00.320 through Australia,
00:13:01.120 they're going to be
00:13:01.540 just like South Africa,
00:13:02.580 I would think.
00:13:03.640 So everybody who thought
00:13:04.700 that these things
00:13:05.420 were permanent,
00:13:06.600 I've always thought
00:13:07.560 that was
00:13:08.100 just a fear-based opinion.
00:13:12.900 I don't think
00:13:13.660 there's any history
00:13:15.020 of anything
00:13:15.880 that would suggest
00:13:16.620 this stuff
00:13:17.320 wouldn't be permanent.
00:13:18.460 Now, there may be
00:13:19.080 permanent elements
00:13:19.920 of policy, I suppose,
00:13:21.140 but you're not going
00:13:21.780 to be wearing a mask forever
00:13:22.980 or you're not going
00:13:23.580 to be quarantining
00:13:24.400 because you have a virus.
00:13:26.240 So all that stuff
00:13:27.080 is going to go away.
00:13:28.000 We just don't know
00:13:29.180 the exact date yet.
00:13:30.980 So Edward Snowden
00:13:33.140 tweeted
00:13:33.600 that this Christmas
00:13:35.700 may well be the last
00:13:37.000 that WikiLeaks founder
00:13:38.280 Julian Assange
00:13:39.320 will spend outside
00:13:40.820 the pit
00:13:41.380 of an American dungeon.
00:13:43.660 How many of you
00:13:44.680 agree with that?
00:13:45.540 So now that Assange
00:13:46.540 is being
00:13:47.040 what's the legal word,
00:13:50.640 whatever he is,
00:13:51.180 he's being brought
00:13:53.580 to America
00:13:54.140 to face charges.
00:13:55.960 Do you think
00:13:57.700 this is the beginning
00:13:58.820 of the end
00:13:59.660 of Assange?
00:14:03.160 Extradition.
00:14:04.100 Is it rendition
00:14:05.060 or extradition?
00:14:06.640 Extradition
00:14:07.200 is the word
00:14:07.640 I was looking for.
00:14:09.000 Yeah, so it was
00:14:09.480 extradition.
00:14:10.240 I don't know
00:14:12.400 if this is
00:14:13.000 the genetic optimist
00:14:15.980 in me.
00:14:16.280 there's something
00:14:18.740 about this story
00:14:19.860 that we don't know.
00:14:22.680 Well, first of all,
00:14:23.340 would you agree
00:14:23.820 with that?
00:14:24.820 Would you agree
00:14:25.340 with the statement
00:14:25.860 there's something big
00:14:26.980 about the Julian Assange
00:14:29.100 story that the public
00:14:30.160 doesn't know?
00:14:32.180 Right?
00:14:32.660 There's some
00:14:33.520 other variable here
00:14:34.700 that's making this
00:14:36.420 hard to understand
00:14:37.200 from the outside.
00:14:40.400 We might find
00:14:41.500 that out
00:14:42.100 when he gets
00:14:42.820 on American soil.
00:14:44.620 In other words,
00:14:45.280 it might change
00:14:46.060 incentives
00:14:46.840 and focus
00:14:48.320 and how people
00:14:49.140 are thinking about it.
00:14:50.180 So we might learn
00:14:50.900 about it.
00:14:51.700 But I'm going to give
00:14:52.600 you a surprising
00:14:53.320 prediction.
00:14:56.920 I think Assange
00:14:58.080 is going to go free.
00:15:01.540 And
00:15:02.020 I can't give you
00:15:04.500 a reason for it.
00:15:07.280 And I'm aware
00:15:08.200 of that.
00:15:09.520 There's something
00:15:10.320 in my intuition
00:15:11.360 that is just
00:15:12.600 kicking me
00:15:14.660 in the brain.
00:15:15.280 that says
00:15:16.840 this is the beginning
00:15:17.840 of a process
00:15:18.860 in which he
00:15:19.740 ends up free.
00:15:23.160 I'll try
00:15:23.920 to explain
00:15:24.580 maybe why I'm
00:15:25.460 thinking it,
00:15:25.940 but this sounds
00:15:26.460 like a rationalization
00:15:27.600 even when it
00:15:28.320 comes out of my mind.
00:15:29.380 It may be just
00:15:30.060 that I'm an optimist
00:15:31.100 and
00:15:31.280 you know,
00:15:33.060 so I tend
00:15:33.700 to lean in that
00:15:34.340 direction.
00:15:35.440 But
00:15:35.660 I feel as if
00:15:37.580 when Assange
00:15:39.100 gets to America,
00:15:41.260 what's the best
00:15:42.140 way to say it?
00:15:42.860 when Assange
00:15:45.040 was in another
00:15:45.740 country,
00:15:46.320 it felt like
00:15:48.480 that other
00:15:49.060 country's
00:15:49.640 responsibility.
00:15:52.240 Right?
00:15:53.680 Because he was
00:15:54.700 literally,
00:15:57.040 you know,
00:15:58.240 in the embrace
00:15:59.220 of a foreign
00:15:59.900 country.
00:16:01.060 So that didn't
00:16:02.260 feel like my
00:16:02.880 problem
00:16:03.420 so much,
00:16:06.020 even though it is
00:16:06.920 all of our
00:16:07.380 problems.
00:16:08.260 It didn't feel
00:16:08.920 like it.
00:16:09.340 But when you
00:16:10.780 bring Assange
00:16:11.440 onto American
00:16:12.320 soil,
00:16:13.960 suddenly all
00:16:14.800 of my instincts
00:16:15.660 about what it
00:16:16.680 is to be
00:16:17.200 American
00:16:17.760 just gets
00:16:19.720 triggered in a
00:16:20.720 way that him
00:16:21.240 being in another
00:16:21.840 country didn't.
00:16:22.800 Because he's
00:16:23.600 from another
00:16:24.340 country and he
00:16:25.040 was in yet
00:16:25.880 another country.
00:16:26.940 It just felt
00:16:27.600 like somebody
00:16:28.140 else's problem.
00:16:29.860 But you bring
00:16:30.720 it into my
00:16:31.280 house,
00:16:31.660 which is what's
00:16:33.540 happening,
00:16:33.960 right?
00:16:35.000 Assange is
00:16:35.600 being brought
00:16:36.140 into your
00:16:36.520 house now.
00:16:37.100 And in
00:16:38.940 my house,
00:16:39.520 the rules
00:16:39.860 are different.
00:16:41.520 Do you feel
00:16:42.300 it?
00:16:43.980 If he's in
00:16:44.780 somebody else's
00:16:45.520 house,
00:16:47.160 then maybe
00:16:47.680 somebody else
00:16:48.720 has some
00:16:49.880 responsibilities and
00:16:50.980 some rights,
00:16:51.620 et cetera.
00:16:52.140 But you bring
00:16:52.820 him into my
00:16:53.360 house?
00:16:54.960 You bring him
00:16:55.620 into my house
00:16:56.360 now, at your
00:16:57.020 house, if you're
00:16:57.840 American.
00:16:58.920 If you bring him
00:16:59.780 into my house,
00:17:00.440 my rules apply.
00:17:02.580 Right?
00:17:03.280 Or at least I'm
00:17:04.020 going to try to
00:17:04.460 make them apply.
00:17:06.000 And my rules
00:17:06.700 say, I'm not
00:17:07.460 so sure this
00:17:08.080 guy needs to
00:17:08.660 be in jail.
00:17:10.520 Those are my
00:17:11.300 rules.
00:17:13.200 And I feel
00:17:14.520 like Americans
00:17:16.640 are going to
00:17:17.620 get activated
00:17:18.840 in a way that
00:17:20.580 they weren't
00:17:21.080 when it was
00:17:21.620 a foreigner
00:17:22.560 in some
00:17:23.400 other country's
00:17:24.140 prison.
00:17:25.840 There's going
00:17:26.380 to be some
00:17:26.740 activation going
00:17:27.560 on here.
00:17:28.180 There's also
00:17:28.680 going to be a
00:17:29.440 lot of attention
00:17:30.360 that wasn't
00:17:31.880 the case before.
00:17:33.400 So this could
00:17:34.000 go from a
00:17:34.820 B story,
00:17:35.640 because it
00:17:36.400 was in
00:17:36.660 another
00:17:36.940 country,
00:17:37.820 to an
00:17:38.260 A story
00:17:38.820 very quickly.
00:17:40.520 Now, how
00:17:40.880 much do you
00:17:41.340 want to see
00:17:41.740 a trial?
00:17:44.820 Don't you
00:17:45.360 want to see
00:17:45.720 a trial?
00:17:47.680 You do,
00:17:48.400 don't you?
00:17:49.260 What would
00:17:49.760 happen if
00:17:50.180 they closed
00:17:51.100 the trial
00:17:51.580 to the
00:17:51.900 public?
00:17:53.260 Is that
00:17:53.680 going to
00:17:53.900 happen?
00:17:55.380 Feels like
00:17:56.000 it could
00:17:56.420 because you've
00:17:56.920 got all
00:17:57.160 this secret
00:17:58.220 stuff going
00:17:58.820 on.
00:17:59.080 I feel
00:18:02.640 like the
00:18:03.020 American
00:18:03.400 public is
00:18:05.520 maybe less
00:18:06.560 willing to
00:18:07.240 listen to
00:18:08.000 corrupt officials
00:18:09.020 than at any
00:18:09.900 time in our
00:18:10.880 history.
00:18:13.120 America is
00:18:14.380 kind of fed
00:18:15.500 up with
00:18:16.920 being told
00:18:17.500 what we
00:18:17.940 must do
00:18:18.600 that is
00:18:19.240 against our
00:18:20.060 sense of
00:18:23.460 freedom and
00:18:24.200 our sense
00:18:24.640 of who we
00:18:25.180 are.
00:18:25.440 One of the
00:18:28.000 things about
00:18:28.460 living in
00:18:28.920 America is
00:18:29.940 it makes
00:18:30.300 you American.
00:18:32.300 It sort of
00:18:33.160 turns you
00:18:33.620 into a
00:18:34.040 creature.
00:18:34.940 Same for
00:18:35.440 other countries
00:18:35.980 I'm sure.
00:18:37.060 But part of
00:18:37.660 the American
00:18:38.140 experience is
00:18:38.980 it brainwashes
00:18:40.940 us or
00:18:42.340 persuades us
00:18:43.240 or puts us
00:18:44.220 in a frame
00:18:44.960 of mind.
00:18:46.220 And we're
00:18:46.880 in a frame
00:18:47.360 of mind
00:18:47.780 right now.
00:18:49.720 America is
00:18:50.420 definitely in
00:18:50.980 a frame of
00:18:51.540 mind.
00:18:52.840 And that
00:18:53.140 frame of
00:18:53.600 mind is
00:18:54.240 we don't
00:18:55.160 trust our
00:18:55.660 politicians.
00:18:56.680 We don't
00:18:56.920 trust our
00:18:57.420 experts.
00:18:58.040 We don't
00:18:58.280 trust our
00:18:58.720 intelligence
00:18:59.140 agencies.
00:19:00.320 But we do
00:19:01.200 trust each
00:19:01.720 other a
00:19:02.120 little bit.
00:19:03.340 More than
00:19:04.040 we trust
00:19:04.580 the people
00:19:05.760 in charge.
00:19:07.480 And Assange
00:19:08.380 is a special
00:19:09.980 case because
00:19:11.760 you could
00:19:12.540 certainly make
00:19:13.080 the argument
00:19:13.560 that what he
00:19:14.380 was doing
00:19:14.840 was for the
00:19:15.440 benefit of
00:19:16.160 the American
00:19:16.680 public.
00:19:19.260 With or
00:19:19.960 without some
00:19:20.580 crime involved.
00:19:21.580 That's the
00:19:21.940 question for
00:19:22.360 the courts.
00:19:23.760 But was
00:19:24.640 he acting
00:19:25.220 in what
00:19:26.040 was clearly
00:19:26.760 in the best
00:19:27.500 interest of
00:19:28.080 the American
00:19:28.560 public?
00:19:30.740 Certainly
00:19:31.300 not in the
00:19:31.900 best interest
00:19:32.440 of the
00:19:32.760 intelligence
00:19:33.160 agencies who
00:19:34.740 presumably are
00:19:35.980 behind the
00:19:37.200 tough stance
00:19:37.740 on him.
00:19:38.660 But you
00:19:41.200 put this guy
00:19:41.900 on trial in
00:19:42.580 America and
00:19:44.020 he tells his
00:19:44.760 story about
00:19:45.340 what he did
00:19:45.820 for the
00:19:46.160 American people
00:19:46.920 and for the
00:19:47.860 people of the
00:19:48.340 world.
00:19:48.620 and my
00:19:51.480 intuition says
00:19:52.540 he doesn't
00:19:55.300 go to jail
00:19:56.420 at the end
00:19:57.040 of the
00:19:57.300 process.
00:19:59.320 How do you
00:20:00.080 feel?
00:20:01.000 Am I being
00:20:01.680 irrational?
00:20:02.420 Because I feel
00:20:03.260 irrational.
00:20:04.160 It doesn't feel
00:20:04.880 like it's any
00:20:05.840 kind of a
00:20:06.460 logical opinion.
00:20:08.720 It just feels
00:20:09.720 like you get
00:20:10.720 him in the
00:20:11.240 American embrace
00:20:12.340 and our rules
00:20:14.200 start to apply.
00:20:15.060 And that's
00:20:16.320 going to change
00:20:16.740 everything.
00:20:17.940 Might not
00:20:18.740 change the
00:20:19.260 final outcome
00:20:20.180 but it's
00:20:21.020 going to change
00:20:21.440 everything about
00:20:22.060 how we feel
00:20:22.580 about it.
00:20:23.600 I think.
00:20:25.360 So let me
00:20:26.300 say that again.
00:20:28.140 Once Julian
00:20:29.220 Assange is in
00:20:30.420 our house
00:20:31.980 our rules
00:20:34.060 apply.
00:20:35.240 And remember
00:20:35.680 your government
00:20:36.220 doesn't own you.
00:20:37.920 This is America
00:20:38.720 for those of you
00:20:39.640 who are American.
00:20:40.400 I know there are
00:20:40.780 a lot of people
00:20:41.200 watching from
00:20:41.780 other countries.
00:20:43.400 But American
00:20:44.980 Americans, we
00:20:45.760 run this
00:20:46.280 country.
00:20:47.660 And if we
00:20:48.100 decide that the
00:20:49.040 legal system is
00:20:50.080 not doing what
00:20:51.560 we want it to
00:20:52.180 do with Julian
00:20:52.900 Assange, I
00:20:54.700 feel like the
00:20:55.240 people will have
00:20:56.260 to have an
00:20:56.620 opinion on this.
00:20:58.060 And the system
00:20:58.820 doesn't want to
00:20:59.840 go against the
00:21:01.200 people too far
00:21:03.380 or too long.
00:21:04.460 It can't handle
00:21:05.120 that.
00:21:06.780 All right.
00:21:07.180 So we'll keep
00:21:07.580 an eye on that.
00:21:09.700 I see a lot of
00:21:10.600 people say that
00:21:11.280 belief in science
00:21:12.120 is like a
00:21:12.760 religion.
00:21:13.140 How many of
00:21:14.880 you would agree
00:21:15.640 with that?
00:21:17.120 That faith in
00:21:18.260 science is
00:21:18.940 basically like a
00:21:20.080 religion?
00:21:20.880 I'm hearing this
00:21:21.580 opinion.
00:21:23.400 See some yeses,
00:21:24.600 some not at
00:21:25.240 alls?
00:21:25.960 Yeah, I would
00:21:26.400 say it's the
00:21:26.800 opposite.
00:21:28.080 If you do it
00:21:28.660 right.
00:21:29.820 If you do it
00:21:30.700 wrong, it's
00:21:31.200 exactly like a
00:21:32.020 religion.
00:21:33.180 Here's how to
00:21:33.860 do it wrong.
00:21:35.300 Dr. Fauci told
00:21:36.540 me it's true.
00:21:38.440 Is that doing
00:21:39.260 it right?
00:21:40.460 No, that's
00:21:41.040 doing it wrong.
00:21:41.680 That would be
00:21:42.600 like a
00:21:42.920 religion.
00:21:43.860 That would be
00:21:44.340 Fauci is
00:21:45.100 Jesus kind
00:21:45.960 of thing.
00:21:47.000 So if you're
00:21:47.940 doing it wrong,
00:21:49.120 yeah, it's
00:21:49.420 exactly like a
00:21:50.200 religion.
00:21:51.120 If you're doing
00:21:51.840 it right, the
00:21:52.700 only thing you
00:21:53.360 would ever
00:21:53.640 trust is what?
00:21:56.000 What's the
00:21:56.660 only thing you
00:21:57.380 would trust if
00:21:59.020 you were doing
00:21:59.440 it right?
00:22:02.060 The third
00:22:03.000 randomized controlled
00:22:04.120 trial on the
00:22:04.840 same topic.
00:22:06.280 Maybe not even
00:22:07.220 the first one.
00:22:08.580 Second one,
00:22:09.320 well, you're
00:22:10.120 a little bit
00:22:10.660 reasonably feeling
00:22:12.480 certain.
00:22:13.660 But by the
00:22:14.260 third one, you
00:22:15.220 can get some
00:22:15.720 confidence that
00:22:16.720 maybe the
00:22:17.180 system itself has
00:22:18.060 taken the
00:22:18.480 bias out.
00:22:19.700 But certainly,
00:22:21.600 if you're not
00:22:22.180 waiting for the
00:22:22.840 randomized controlled
00:22:23.820 trial, and you're
00:22:25.180 making a positive
00:22:26.380 decision based on
00:22:27.500 something less than
00:22:28.940 that, you might be
00:22:31.440 closer to a
00:22:32.140 religion than you
00:22:33.900 ought to be.
00:22:34.320 All right, I
00:22:37.380 saw a good
00:22:37.920 framing here from
00:22:38.920 Dr.
00:22:39.520 Interracial, who
00:22:40.800 is a real good
00:22:41.380 follow on
00:22:42.360 Twitter.
00:22:43.780 Just Google
00:22:44.760 Dr.
00:22:46.040 as in DR
00:22:47.100 period,
00:22:48.460 interracial, and
00:22:49.840 you'll get a lot
00:22:50.360 of good political
00:22:51.600 commentary from
00:22:52.680 that account.
00:22:54.180 So Dr.
00:22:54.760 Interracial, it's
00:22:55.880 a couple, I
00:22:56.480 believe, an
00:22:56.940 interracial couple,
00:22:58.480 said about me,
00:23:01.440 he said, you all
00:23:02.680 know that Politico
00:23:03.480 did a little
00:23:04.700 minor hit piece
00:23:05.820 on me as part
00:23:06.660 of the worst
00:23:07.980 predictions of
00:23:09.020 2021.
00:23:10.800 So they had me
00:23:11.680 on the list of
00:23:12.300 worst predictions,
00:23:13.440 but of course,
00:23:13.960 they misinterpret
00:23:15.220 the prediction to
00:23:16.140 make it look bad.
00:23:17.660 Now, Dr.
00:23:19.020 Interracial notes
00:23:20.140 this in the tweet,
00:23:20.960 Politico and
00:23:22.320 leftist media is
00:23:23.400 trying to QAnon
00:23:24.940 Scott Adams.
00:23:29.840 Because they know
00:23:30.760 he's right about
00:23:31.540 Republicans being
00:23:32.600 hunted and need
00:23:33.700 to make Scott
00:23:34.300 look like a
00:23:34.900 crazy conspiracy
00:23:35.920 theorist.
00:23:37.140 Scott is now
00:23:37.980 being hunted.
00:23:39.480 So do you
00:23:40.140 remember I told
00:23:40.780 you that as we
00:23:42.040 approached the
00:23:43.020 election cycle,
00:23:44.320 2022 and 2024,
00:23:46.280 you could guarantee
00:23:47.400 that I will be
00:23:48.520 targeted by the
00:23:50.700 media.
00:23:52.140 And the reason
00:23:53.000 that they would
00:23:53.440 need to target me
00:23:54.440 is so that from
00:23:55.480 now on, everybody
00:23:56.860 can look at that
00:23:57.620 article and say,
00:23:58.640 oh, oh, your
00:23:59.480 new opinion is
00:24:00.320 useless because
00:24:01.920 you once said
00:24:02.740 and then they'll
00:24:03.280 fill it in with
00:24:03.860 something I never
00:24:04.500 said.
00:24:05.220 But Politico
00:24:05.840 reported I said
00:24:06.720 it.
00:24:07.520 So they'll say,
00:24:08.140 well, Politico
00:24:08.640 said you said it.
00:24:09.440 It's right there.
00:24:11.000 But of course,
00:24:11.780 it was misinterpreted
00:24:12.720 like most stories.
00:24:15.060 So watch this
00:24:18.440 develop.
00:24:19.300 This won't be the
00:24:20.040 end of it.
00:24:20.740 Because there's a
00:24:21.460 weird thing happening
00:24:22.160 on the Republican
00:24:22.900 side.
00:24:23.400 If you were to
00:24:24.460 make a list of
00:24:25.300 all the sort
00:24:26.980 of unprofessional
00:24:29.500 pundit social
00:24:31.540 media voices in
00:24:33.140 2016 for Trump,
00:24:35.340 how many of the
00:24:36.340 voices for Trump
00:24:37.660 in 2016 still
00:24:40.820 exist, have not
00:24:42.920 been canceled, or
00:24:44.620 have not become
00:24:45.400 more anti-Trump?
00:24:49.040 The number of
00:24:50.220 people has shrunk
00:24:50.920 and shrunk and
00:24:51.480 shrunk, right?
00:24:51.960 Now, I'm not all
00:24:53.300 in on Trump for
00:24:54.800 2024.
00:24:56.500 He's got to make
00:24:57.340 his case just like
00:24:58.280 everybody else,
00:24:59.020 right?
00:24:59.620 I would not
00:25:00.480 automatically say,
00:25:01.500 oh, if Trump
00:25:01.960 comes back, I'm on
00:25:03.260 the Trump train,
00:25:04.100 and everything he
00:25:05.180 does is good.
00:25:05.840 Nothing like that.
00:25:07.140 I live in a country
00:25:08.160 where it's a
00:25:08.960 competitive process,
00:25:11.400 and so I'm going
00:25:12.060 to wait for the
00:25:12.800 competitive process
00:25:13.760 to play out a
00:25:14.880 little bit.
00:25:15.880 And I'll tell you
00:25:17.700 directly, if
00:25:18.300 DeSantis runs in
00:25:20.240 the primaries,
00:25:20.880 it would be
00:25:23.160 really hard not
00:25:23.860 to pick him over
00:25:24.580 Trump, because
00:25:25.700 you get a lot of
00:25:26.260 the goodness.
00:25:27.540 What the hell?
00:25:31.740 Oh, I got a
00:25:33.760 Russian comment.
00:25:35.780 I thought it was
00:25:36.240 dollars, but it's
00:25:37.080 rubles.
00:25:38.160 So somebody gave
00:25:38.900 me 4,690 rubles.
00:25:42.460 At first, I thought
00:25:43.120 it was dollar
00:25:43.820 denominations.
00:25:45.160 I was like, what
00:25:45.840 the hell?
00:25:46.620 But I'll read your
00:25:47.200 comment, since you
00:25:47.900 gave me that many
00:25:48.480 rubles.
00:25:49.620 Thanks for the
00:25:50.200 amazing loser to
00:25:50.920 think book from
00:25:51.640 Russia.
00:25:52.320 Your perception of
00:25:53.080 Russia's interests
00:25:53.740 are good, but our
00:25:55.040 government and our
00:25:55.720 people often look
00:25:56.440 differently on the
00:25:57.180 U.S.
00:25:58.020 Best wishes in your
00:25:58.880 new projects?
00:25:59.580 Blah, blah.
00:25:59.960 Simulation is
00:26:00.620 winking.
00:26:01.560 So from Russia,
00:26:02.700 interesting.
00:26:03.400 He says, my
00:26:04.420 perceptions of
00:26:05.220 Russia's interests
00:26:06.060 are good, meaning
00:26:07.200 that Russia and the
00:26:08.060 United States, I
00:26:09.000 think this is what
00:26:09.620 he means, that
00:26:11.080 Russia and the
00:26:11.580 United States need
00:26:12.380 to be allies in the
00:26:13.420 long run.
00:26:14.800 It's just
00:26:15.220 inevitable.
00:26:15.700 Russia and the
00:26:17.920 United States will
00:26:18.700 be allies.
00:26:19.900 It's just going to
00:26:20.600 happen.
00:26:21.440 And you can put it
00:26:22.580 off as long as you
00:26:23.300 want, but it's just
00:26:24.160 going to happen.
00:26:25.560 So, at least military
00:26:27.520 allies.
00:26:29.860 Anyway, so I think
00:26:31.620 Dr. Interracial is
00:26:33.220 right.
00:26:33.820 I will be targeted to
00:26:35.300 decrease the number of
00:26:37.020 voices that could make a
00:26:38.160 difference.
00:26:40.040 Let me ask you this.
00:26:42.260 If a, forget who the
00:26:43.680 Republican is.
00:26:44.420 A Republican runs for
00:26:45.620 office, could be Trump,
00:26:47.020 could be DeSantis, could
00:26:48.200 be Tom Cotton, whoever
00:26:49.860 it is.
00:26:51.800 Who are the
00:26:52.840 influential, the
00:26:55.280 key word is
00:26:55.800 influential, who are
00:26:57.000 the influential public
00:26:58.520 voices on social media
00:26:59.880 for the next
00:27:01.340 Republican?
00:27:03.560 Name names.
00:27:05.220 Somebody says Mike
00:27:06.040 Cernovich, but is he
00:27:08.020 going to support Trump?
00:27:09.220 At the moment, he says
00:27:10.380 no.
00:27:12.600 Glenn Beck?
00:27:14.420 You know, Glenn Beck
00:27:16.100 seems to stay within a
00:27:18.180 universe.
00:27:19.580 I don't see much
00:27:20.460 Glenn Beck content if
00:27:22.000 you're not, you know,
00:27:22.820 watching his content.
00:27:25.640 Tucker.
00:27:26.920 Jack Posobiec.
00:27:29.480 Dave Rubin.
00:27:30.700 Yeah, Dave, Dave Rubin,
00:27:33.520 he's a special case because
00:27:34.900 he talks, I mean, that's
00:27:36.800 his job is to be in the
00:27:38.080 middle of all that stuff.
00:27:38.880 Larry Elder.
00:27:42.940 Tim Poole's technically
00:27:44.240 independent, right?
00:27:46.140 Dan Bongino.
00:27:47.220 Yeah, so there are still
00:27:48.360 people on the media.
00:27:49.960 So I'm not talking about
00:27:50.940 people who have a show.
00:27:53.420 Right?
00:27:53.980 So it's not so much about
00:27:55.080 somebody who has, I mean,
00:27:56.480 a network show.
00:27:57.420 I'm talking about people
00:27:58.460 who might have a live
00:27:59.320 stream or are on social
00:28:00.980 media.
00:28:01.300 And then, all right, so
00:28:04.200 who is the most
00:28:04.980 influential person on the
00:28:06.520 right right now?
00:28:09.480 It's got to be Tucker,
00:28:10.400 right?
00:28:11.620 Tucker Carlson.
00:28:13.060 Some people are saying
00:28:13.820 Joe Rogan, but I think
00:28:15.620 that's unfair for us to
00:28:17.060 classify him as being on
00:28:18.860 the right.
00:28:20.060 Wouldn't you say?
00:28:22.640 Because he's got some
00:28:25.340 opinions that don't map
00:28:27.240 to the parties that well,
00:28:29.340 but does that mean you
00:28:30.540 can call him on the right?
00:28:32.260 I don't think so.
00:28:33.740 I think he's just
00:28:34.460 following what makes sense,
00:28:36.000 and some people think that
00:28:37.000 puts him on the right.
00:28:38.880 Candace Owens?
00:28:43.620 Yes.
00:28:46.260 Yeah.
00:28:47.360 But, you know,
00:28:48.120 Candace also has a show.
00:28:50.000 So, I guess I have a show.
00:28:52.520 So, I guess I'm in the
00:28:54.640 same category.
00:28:55.500 But I see the people who
00:28:56.740 are only doing their own
00:28:58.100 thing.
00:28:58.620 They're not part of any
00:28:59.640 entity.
00:29:00.060 So, I'm not part of a
00:29:01.560 larger entity.
00:29:02.360 Anybody who's part of a
00:29:05.300 larger entity is going to
00:29:06.780 be influenced by their
00:29:08.280 boss, right?
00:29:09.380 Everybody's getting a
00:29:10.140 paycheck, or at least is
00:29:11.560 getting access to
00:29:12.440 something.
00:29:14.180 But I don't get a
00:29:15.120 paycheck from a person.
00:29:17.820 I mean, the only money I
00:29:19.040 would make is from having
00:29:19.860 a big audience.
00:29:21.900 The Babylon Bee, yeah.
00:29:23.340 Goffeld, yes.
00:29:26.440 Yeah, I mean, it's easy to
00:29:27.520 pick out the Fox News
00:29:28.800 stars, and, you know, the
00:29:30.740 Blaze stars, and say that
00:29:32.420 they'll be the most
00:29:33.100 effective.
00:29:34.960 But, you notice who's
00:29:37.740 missing, right?
00:29:38.320 Thank you so much.
00:29:46.580 I wish I could pronounce
00:29:47.360 your name.
00:29:47.860 I'm getting some more
00:29:48.920 rubles from Russia there.
00:29:55.140 Yeah, so Alex Jones is
00:29:57.120 sort of, you know, Ben
00:29:59.540 Shapiro, yeah.
00:30:02.120 He's a special case, too,
00:30:03.500 because his platform is at
00:30:06.860 least partly or largely
00:30:07.820 owned by him.
00:30:10.360 Yeah, Rush Limbaugh's
00:30:11.640 off it.
00:30:13.180 So it's, there's an
00:30:14.700 interesting situation.
00:30:15.820 Everybody's trying to
00:30:16.540 neutralize the effective
00:30:17.880 voices on the other side
00:30:19.260 to sort of prime the
00:30:21.020 field for the actual
00:30:21.980 contest.
00:30:23.100 And you should expect
00:30:24.760 there will be more fake
00:30:26.560 news about me.
00:30:28.420 So watch for the
00:30:29.700 additional fake news
00:30:31.040 about me.
00:30:31.580 It's coming.
00:30:35.040 And so specifically the
00:30:36.740 fake news about me is
00:30:37.800 this tweet by Bernie
00:30:40.300 Belvedere.
00:30:41.620 He says that I did this,
00:30:43.740 which, of course, I did
00:30:45.040 not.
00:30:46.120 But it's in the tweet.
00:30:47.820 So now lots of people with
00:30:49.000 blue checks, like, liked it.
00:30:51.420 So all those blue check
00:30:52.680 people think I actually said
00:30:53.840 this.
00:30:54.080 So Bernie says that I
00:30:58.740 prophesied that Biden would
00:31:02.700 pursue the mass
00:31:03.660 extermination of
00:31:04.580 republics, of
00:31:05.740 republicans.
00:31:06.900 Now, do you think that I
00:31:08.020 ever prophesied that
00:31:10.100 Biden would pursue the
00:31:11.300 mass extermination of
00:31:12.640 republicans?
00:31:13.300 Nobody ever said that.
00:31:16.920 The way that you can know
00:31:18.500 that that never happened
00:31:19.620 is just by reading it.
00:31:25.700 Karina's saying, how do you
00:31:26.980 manage that?
00:31:27.940 Well, the way I manage it is
00:31:29.260 I try to put as much
00:31:31.260 counter-factual stuff into the
00:31:33.660 tweets and comments as I can.
00:31:35.540 But that's all you can do.
00:31:37.420 The truth is that the very
00:31:38.920 next time I say something
00:31:40.140 smart in public, the left
00:31:43.160 will say, oh, why should we
00:31:45.160 believe you?
00:31:45.780 Because you thought there
00:31:46.520 would be a mass
00:31:47.200 extermination of
00:31:48.140 republicans, which, of
00:31:49.840 course, I never said.
00:31:51.500 Because that would be dumb.
00:31:54.700 But I did say that
00:31:55.760 republicans would be
00:31:56.700 hunted.
00:31:57.880 And I did a poll, and 80%
00:31:59.620 of the people who answered
00:32:00.540 the poll, very unscientific
00:32:02.460 poll, 80% of them said that
00:32:04.940 republicans are indeed being
00:32:06.220 hunted.
00:32:07.680 So, am I right?
00:32:12.520 Was I right that
00:32:13.360 republicans are being
00:32:14.220 hunted?
00:32:15.060 80% of people who answered
00:32:16.420 the poll said yes.
00:32:17.880 So they see it too.
00:32:20.140 And yet, I was on a list of
00:32:21.880 worst predictions.
00:32:24.260 Do you think it would be
00:32:25.440 fair to do a list of best
00:32:27.340 predictions and put me on
00:32:28.760 that list?
00:32:30.100 Because when I said that,
00:32:31.940 you know, you would be
00:32:33.220 hunted, or republicans would
00:32:34.940 be, I thought that you
00:32:36.660 figure, I think that's one
00:32:37.700 of the best predictions
00:32:38.500 that was made.
00:32:40.720 So why can't I be on
00:32:41.940 somebody's list of best
00:32:43.120 predictions for the year?
00:32:45.900 Somebody's going to make a
00:32:46.740 best predictions list.
00:32:48.560 And you better put me on
00:32:49.760 it.
00:32:50.160 if you do that.
00:32:53.200 All right.
00:32:56.440 And then a lot of people thought
00:32:57.660 that good chance means a high
00:32:59.040 chance, which it doesn't.
00:33:00.400 So a lot of people didn't know
00:33:01.340 what words mean, but they got
00:33:02.760 pretty bad.
00:33:04.440 All right.
00:33:04.800 Here is my newest list, which I
00:33:09.760 will make available to you as I
00:33:11.320 build it.
00:33:11.760 It's still a work in progress.
00:33:13.600 And it's called, How to Know You
00:33:14.940 Won an Internet Debate.
00:33:17.060 So it's a list of items, numbered
00:33:19.800 items, so that when you're in an
00:33:21.960 internet debate, and if anybody
00:33:23.460 triggers one of these items, you
00:33:25.900 can just say, aha, that's number
00:33:27.380 four.
00:33:28.160 I claim victory.
00:33:29.840 And then you're done.
00:33:31.320 So here are the things which, if
00:33:33.380 you see your troll who's arguing
00:33:36.500 with you on the other side, if
00:33:38.260 they do any of these things, just
00:33:40.200 say, ah, that's number two.
00:33:42.200 I win.
00:33:43.880 All right.
00:33:44.140 So the title is, How to Know You
00:33:45.860 Won an Internet Debate.
00:33:46.900 Number one, the, quote, so you're
00:33:50.040 saying.
00:33:51.860 All right.
00:33:52.420 These are all ones I got yesterday.
00:33:54.440 So every one of these literally
00:33:55.940 happened to me yesterday.
00:33:57.460 Somebody saying, so you're saying.
00:33:59.740 And then they fill it in with
00:34:00.740 something you didn't say, and
00:34:02.000 nobody would say.
00:34:02.840 It would be ridiculous.
00:34:04.380 So if you see that, you just say,
00:34:06.800 well, there's number one, the so
00:34:08.480 you're saying tell.
00:34:09.960 Number two, escaping to an
00:34:11.920 irrelevant analogy.
00:34:14.320 Analogies can have a limited use
00:34:16.780 explaining a new concept.
00:34:19.740 But the way people use them on the
00:34:21.320 internet is if they can't defend
00:34:23.780 their point, they will make up an
00:34:26.020 imaginary point, which they call an
00:34:27.960 analogy, and they'll try to get
00:34:29.660 you to argue the imaginary one
00:34:31.200 that's different.
00:34:32.460 And the reason they do that is
00:34:33.860 that the actual situation can't be
00:34:35.800 defended.
00:34:36.640 So they have to come up with an
00:34:38.020 imaginary situation that they'll
00:34:39.520 call an analogy and say, well,
00:34:41.980 defend this analogy.
00:34:43.120 But it will always be different.
00:34:44.600 It won't relate to the original
00:34:45.920 thing.
00:34:46.800 So if they escape to an irrelevant
00:34:48.180 analogy, that's number two.
00:34:49.520 Number three, changing the argument
00:34:51.400 to something else.
00:34:53.560 You could call that moving the
00:34:54.900 goalposts.
00:34:55.480 But you'll see the people say, well,
00:34:58.080 what I really meant was, and then
00:35:00.840 you can just leave, because that's a
00:35:02.720 whole new argument.
00:35:05.380 The other one is acting as if a tiny
00:35:07.420 minority defines the majority.
00:35:10.060 So that would be on the right.
00:35:12.940 It would be people saying that the
00:35:14.580 left are all Antifa or the left are
00:35:17.180 all AOC, which, of course, they're not.
00:35:19.700 But the other way would be imagining
00:35:22.500 that everybody who protested at the
00:35:25.360 Capitol on January 6th was a criminal.
00:35:29.740 That might be technically criminals
00:35:31.440 because they were unaware that they
00:35:33.600 were trespassing, if you've read the
00:35:35.560 background.
00:35:36.400 A lot of people didn't know that there
00:35:37.580 was even a perimeter that had been
00:35:39.020 set.
00:35:39.820 They didn't know they were even
00:35:40.860 trespassing.
00:35:41.680 They thought they were protesting.
00:35:43.280 But anyway, if you act as if the tiny
00:35:45.780 minority defines the majority,
00:35:47.800 just say, oh, okay, we're done.
00:35:51.540 I didn't realize you were doing a
00:35:52.980 number four.
00:35:55.720 Number five, telling me what I think.
00:35:57.820 The mind-draining thing.
00:35:59.300 But you think, anybody who tells me
00:36:01.800 what I think, and it's wrong, that's
00:36:04.780 the end of the conversation.
00:36:06.920 How about the one-variable thinking,
00:36:09.560 where they talk about the costs of
00:36:10.820 something, but not the benefits, or not
00:36:13.160 the trade-off?
00:36:14.880 If somebody can't mention both the
00:36:16.860 costs and the benefits, that's a one-variable
00:36:21.620 thinking, number six.
00:36:22.820 Number seven, if they turn it into a
00:36:24.920 personal insult, it's like, oh, cartoon
00:36:27.760 boy says, whatever, just say, ah, there
00:36:30.920 you go.
00:36:31.740 There's number eight, I'm out.
00:36:33.180 And number nine, word thinking.
00:36:34.780 If they try to make the debate about
00:36:37.120 the definition of a word, there's
00:36:40.360 nothing to talk about there.
00:36:42.200 So just get out.
00:36:43.320 John says, you're being anti-Semitic.
00:36:47.080 Oh, as one of the tells?
00:36:49.440 Maybe so.
00:36:51.000 So now, whenever somebody is doing one
00:36:54.520 of these things, I'm just going to be
00:36:56.600 pasting this into my response.
00:36:59.980 A similar thing would be, if somebody
00:37:03.780 says, here's another tell for cognitive
00:37:06.020 dissonance.
00:37:07.080 People who say the vaccination doesn't
00:37:09.280 work, that's cognitive dissonance.
00:37:14.160 Anybody want to fight with me?
00:37:16.900 Anybody who says the vaccinations don't
00:37:20.280 work with no explainer to that, just the
00:37:23.080 vaccinations don't work, that is
00:37:25.600 cognitive dissonance.
00:37:30.200 Yeah, they don't last.
00:37:31.880 They don't give you immunity.
00:37:33.200 That's true.
00:37:33.600 But it's not true they don't work.
00:37:38.060 I mean, if you want to change the
00:37:39.340 definition of work to something
00:37:40.740 specific, you can.
00:37:42.540 But in the normal world where we talk
00:37:46.000 about things, if it makes a difference,
00:37:48.120 it works.
00:37:49.940 And 100% of all data says it makes a
00:37:55.080 difference.
00:37:57.380 We don't know if long-term you'll grow
00:37:59.460 a second head.
00:38:00.500 But we can say that it's doing what it
00:38:03.660 was meant to do, which is keep you from
00:38:05.620 dying.
00:38:06.760 I mean, that's the primary thing it was
00:38:08.120 meant to do.
00:38:08.720 The ultimate thing it's meant to do is
00:38:10.400 keep you from dying.
00:38:12.000 It would be great if it kept you from
00:38:14.380 getting infected, too.
00:38:15.660 But it doesn't, so we have to just deal
00:38:17.540 with that.
00:38:19.560 Tom says, in all caps, it's not a
00:38:22.140 vaccine.
00:38:24.280 That is cognitive dissonance.
00:38:26.980 Is there anybody else who wants to shout
00:38:28.360 at me that I'm using the word wrong?
00:38:31.440 Because if I'm using the word wrong, that
00:38:33.460 would be number nine.
00:38:35.240 Word thinking.
00:38:36.280 Replacing debate with definition.
00:38:38.840 If we know that it keeps you from dying, and
00:38:41.560 all the evidence says that, all of it, 100%
00:38:44.800 of it says that, and every expert would
00:38:47.800 agree that it keeps you from dying in the
00:38:50.400 short term, maybe long term, who knows?
00:38:52.540 Why doesn't anyone prove how well they
00:38:57.060 work?
00:38:58.260 Well, they have, and 100% of the data.
00:39:02.240 So that's just cognitive dissonance.
00:39:04.380 So there are a lot of people who, I think,
00:39:06.400 made a public stand that vaccinations
00:39:08.460 wouldn't work or would be a disaster.
00:39:12.680 And you can certainly say that they don't
00:39:14.740 keep you from spreading.
00:39:18.000 That's true.
00:39:18.740 That's true, unfortunately.
00:39:21.060 But is there anybody else who wants to say
00:39:23.680 that the vaccines don't work?
00:39:25.900 Are you willing to say it in public?
00:39:28.920 Define work.
00:39:30.300 Well, the goal of a vaccine should be to
00:39:32.840 keep you alive.
00:39:35.420 I'd say that works.
00:39:38.800 In the short term.
00:39:40.400 If you want to argue that we don't know
00:39:42.300 about the long term, that is true.
00:39:45.640 Why would you trust the data?
00:39:46.920 I didn't say I trusted the data.
00:39:48.380 I said 100% of it is in the same direction.
00:39:51.680 Where do you get your info?
00:39:53.380 Everywhere.
00:39:53.980 Just Google it.
00:39:55.160 I'm telling you, it's 100%.
00:39:56.600 If it were 99, I'd tell you where I got
00:39:59.380 the 99.
00:40:00.740 But I'm telling you, you can look
00:40:01.840 anywhere.
00:40:02.700 Any search engine, any article.
00:40:05.040 There's no article that says the opposite.
00:40:07.820 That vaccines do keep you from dying.
00:40:10.880 There's no argument about that by any
00:40:12.860 expert.
00:40:13.160 So by that definition, ivermectin is a
00:40:17.840 vaccine.
00:40:18.580 Okay, that's a stupid argument.
00:40:21.060 Because again, it's just word thinking.
00:40:23.260 You're not wrong.
00:40:24.460 It just doesn't add anything.
00:40:27.440 You should be skeptical of the experts.
00:40:29.280 I'll message Scott later about the J6 pressure
00:40:36.980 campaign.
00:40:38.880 Okay.
00:40:42.740 Words do matter.
00:40:43.920 They do.
00:40:46.780 You're word thinking too, buddy.
00:40:49.000 Am I?
00:40:49.420 If I said that something, if the goal of
00:40:54.140 something is to keep you alive, and that it
00:40:57.340 does that, is it irrelevant that I say it
00:41:00.980 works?
00:41:02.220 That seems like just exactly the definition
00:41:04.520 everybody uses for that word.
00:41:06.360 If I were using my own, like, weird special
00:41:08.560 definition, then I would be word thinking.
00:41:11.160 But if I use it the way everyone uses it, that's
00:41:13.700 the opposite.
00:41:14.140 You don't know it does that.
00:41:19.780 Did I say I know?
00:41:21.380 I said 100% of the data says it does that.
00:41:26.300 You are missing the word vaccine.
00:41:28.140 I feel like I'm not getting through.
00:41:42.120 And I don't want to do this with swearing, but
00:41:44.320 sometimes that's the only times you can make
00:41:45.900 a thing.
00:41:47.680 Does everybody understand that I understand that
00:41:53.620 they're calling the things vaccines, but
00:41:56.620 everybody understands, including the people
00:41:58.640 using the words, that it doesn't immunize
00:42:01.120 you from getting infected.
00:42:03.420 We wish it had.
00:42:04.840 It didn't.
00:42:06.500 But here's what you don't need to tell me.
00:42:10.260 That they called them vaccines, but they
00:42:13.460 don't do what you expect a vaccine to do.
00:42:17.260 We all know that.
00:42:19.680 Why did you think that telling me that would
00:42:21.600 be additive?
00:42:23.960 What do you think is going on?
00:42:25.560 You think I didn't know that the word vaccine
00:42:28.960 implies very strongly that it will keep you
00:42:33.000 from getting something, and that that's not
00:42:35.620 the case.
00:42:37.200 You changed the definition of work?
00:42:39.820 No, I didn't.
00:42:41.540 I didn't change the definition of work.
00:42:44.880 There's no other definition.
00:42:46.640 It either does what it was intended to do,
00:42:49.100 keep you alive, or it didn't.
00:42:51.880 Now, as a sub-task to keeping you alive,
00:42:57.500 it was intended to keep you from getting infected,
00:43:01.220 but it doesn't.
00:43:02.300 How could we not get past that?
00:43:04.660 How are you still living in the past?
00:43:07.820 The past, it mattered that they said it would
00:43:12.380 immunize you, but it doesn't.
00:43:14.540 But we're not in the past.
00:43:16.300 We're now in the present, where everybody knows that fact.
00:43:19.400 You don't need to keep saying it.
00:43:21.900 It doesn't add anything.
00:43:25.020 Israel showed that it worked less than anticipated.
00:43:28.440 Yes.
00:43:29.680 We're all not happy that it's not 100% effective.
00:43:35.220 The reduction in death rate is less than the margin of error,
00:43:38.000 somebody says.
00:43:38.700 Absolutely not.
00:43:40.220 That is, there's not any data that shows that.
00:43:43.200 None.
00:43:43.440 You changed the definition of the.
00:43:46.780 Now you're talking.
00:43:49.560 Takes 14 days from shot to immunization.
00:43:53.400 All right.
00:43:54.740 Yeah.
00:43:55.560 Next topic.
00:43:57.000 All right.
00:44:00.540 Well, it turns out that that was my last topic.
00:44:04.920 How many people have you seen today
00:44:06.860 telling you about their one experience
00:44:09.220 and how that one experience should tell you something?
00:44:13.900 How many people did that today?
00:44:15.640 It's all over the Internet today.
00:44:17.900 I had this one experience,
00:44:20.040 and so my one experience should tell you something.
00:44:23.700 No.
00:44:25.440 No.
00:44:25.840 No, your one experience doesn't tell me anything.
00:44:30.120 If it did, we wouldn't need science.
00:44:32.740 So, I know that we all think the world
00:44:37.800 sort of is informed by our own experience,
00:44:40.960 but it really isn't.
00:44:44.800 Why lower the bar for vaccines?
00:44:47.040 I don't know what that means.
00:44:57.600 Rude dude.
00:44:59.260 All right.
00:45:00.440 AIDS and the Fauci history.
00:45:01.920 Well, my understanding of the AIDS strategy
00:45:07.780 was to make it seem scarier than it was
00:45:10.800 for non-gay people
00:45:12.460 because if you really wanted attention and funding,
00:45:16.080 you had to get the non-gay public on board.
00:45:19.740 So my understanding is that
00:45:20.960 that was a well-known intentional strategy
00:45:23.560 to make it look riskier to non-gay people than it was.
00:45:27.600 Now, do we also see the government scaring us in the same way
00:45:34.680 to try to get us to do what maybe somebody thinks is a good idea?
00:45:38.140 I'd say so.
00:45:40.760 I'd say so.
00:45:43.560 All right.
00:45:44.080 You are the all-COVID channel.
00:45:51.240 You know, the problem is that there's nothing else interesting going on.
00:45:54.900 And the interesting thing about the COVID
00:45:56.500 is why people can't think about it correctly.
00:45:59.760 It would be one thing if you had a different opinion.
00:46:03.460 That's fine.
00:46:04.780 People have lots of different opinions.
00:46:06.840 But our inability to think about it clearly
00:46:09.560 is continually fascinating to me.
00:46:12.740 So to me,
00:46:15.440 I'm going to...
00:46:16.620 I'll delete you for saying all COVID channel
00:46:19.800 over and over again.
00:46:20.900 Let's see if we can get somebody
00:46:23.260 who's not an NPC to make some comments.
00:46:26.820 All right.
00:46:27.760 I have this problem all the time.
00:46:29.280 I use a word that's 90% accurate for my point.
00:46:32.240 Everyone knows what I mean.
00:46:34.120 But because it is not 100% the right word,
00:46:36.740 I'm wrong.
00:46:37.580 Yeah.
00:46:38.540 Well, just remember that the word thinkers
00:46:40.720 are not engaging in anything
00:46:42.760 that's a rational process.
00:46:45.020 And so that's why I came up with the term word thinking.
00:46:48.480 Because once you have a word for it,
00:46:50.960 then you can dismiss it more easily.
00:46:54.980 The imprisoned J6 Americans...
00:46:58.120 I don't feel like I know enough about that,
00:47:01.320 which is a big enough problem in itself.
00:47:03.380 Yeah, I mean, I did spend a lot of yesterday
00:47:06.260 defending the fact that it's clear
00:47:09.800 that Republicans are being put in jail with...
00:47:13.480 In a circumstance that doesn't look normal to me,
00:47:17.180 it looks like they got hunted.
00:47:21.080 Yeah, and where is Ray Epps?
00:47:23.060 I keep seeing that question.
00:47:31.800 Mail-in ballots are boring.
00:47:36.020 Publish your list in a micro-lesson.
00:47:37.840 Oh, yeah, maybe I should.
00:47:41.660 The executive order on fentanyl trafficking.
00:47:44.100 I've never seen that.
00:47:45.040 Somebody says there's an executive order
00:47:47.300 on fentanyl trafficking.
00:47:49.060 What does the executive order say?
00:47:56.340 What's that say?
00:47:58.960 Oh, okay.
00:48:00.360 Somebody sent me a link.
00:48:02.360 Let's see what that says about fentanyl.
00:48:05.500 Opposing sanctions on foreign persons
00:48:07.340 involved in the global illicit drug trade.
00:48:09.520 Oh, December 15th.
00:48:10.040 So they're going to sanction
00:48:13.000 people who are involved in it.
00:48:17.420 Well, how is that different?
00:48:19.820 I thought we were always doing that.
00:48:22.020 Authorized to impose sanctions, blah, blah, blah.
00:48:25.920 Anybody engaged in activities for illicit drugs.
00:48:29.380 So it looks like financial and maybe trade sanctions.
00:48:36.260 I don't know.
00:48:37.480 Is that even...
00:48:39.760 I guess I'm open to the question of
00:48:42.200 whether that'll make a difference.
00:48:44.520 You know, we told China who their main dealer was
00:48:47.460 and it didn't make any difference.
00:48:48.700 So as long as China is producing the precursors
00:48:53.100 and they don't care about policing themselves,
00:48:56.200 as long as they're sending it to the cartels,
00:48:58.600 and the cartels, of course,
00:48:59.920 don't care about policing themselves,
00:49:02.140 why would it make a difference
00:49:03.440 if Biden was sanctioning people for illicit drugs?
00:49:10.160 Like, I don't know exactly who would even be there.
00:49:13.680 Who...
00:49:14.680 Can you sanction the politicians?
00:49:18.700 Do you believe anything Liz Warren says?
00:49:22.300 That's an interesting question.
00:49:25.520 That's too...
00:49:26.720 The question's too absolute.
00:49:29.420 Why not go hard on Mexico
00:49:30.840 because Mexico doesn't have any control over the cartels?
00:49:35.740 And the reality is the cartels control the government.
00:49:38.620 It doesn't work the other way around.
00:49:46.600 If I...
00:49:47.560 Well, I'm done with that topic.
00:49:55.380 Did Trump ditch Rudy?
00:49:57.020 I haven't heard about Rudy lately.
00:50:03.160 How do we know the ruble guy isn't a state actor?
00:50:06.160 Well, he probably wouldn't say he's Russian
00:50:09.080 and pay me a tip in rubles.
00:50:11.140 I think if he were...
00:50:13.540 I mean, I don't know that, but...
00:50:19.540 Here it says,
00:50:20.620 Adam Curry and John Dvorak are right.
00:50:22.620 Shark jump.
00:50:23.700 Well, let me tell you about John Dvorak and Adam Curry.
00:50:26.800 I talked to John Dvorak after hearing what they said about me,
00:50:30.680 and John admitted he didn't know what I'd said
00:50:32.840 and is aware that his comments had nothing to do with my actual opinions.
00:50:38.980 So you, being the fucking idiot that you are,
00:50:42.540 listened to one podcast without hearing the other side
00:50:45.760 and came to a decision.
00:50:47.620 Do you know why you came to a decision hearing one side?
00:50:51.300 Do you know why you did that?
00:50:52.300 Because you're a fucking idiot.
00:50:55.420 That's why.
00:50:56.860 You should have at least...
00:50:58.080 You should have at least said to yourself,
00:51:02.160 if these people are saying that Scott said something ridiculous,
00:51:07.100 maybe I should check that.
00:51:09.640 Because maybe people say people said things that are ridiculous,
00:51:13.860 and then it turns out they didn't say that at all.
00:51:16.600 They actually were misinterpreted.
00:51:18.460 So if you really think that I jumped the shark,
00:51:23.160 which is a sign of that you're an NPC,
00:51:25.540 you're a fucking idiot.
00:51:28.120 Go listen to it again,
00:51:30.080 and then you tell me one thing that they said
00:51:32.520 that you think is true,
00:51:34.580 and challenge me on it.
00:51:36.260 I'll tell you it didn't happen.
00:51:38.180 Oh, Kim Potter?
00:51:38.960 Yeah, Kim Potter was racism against white people.
00:51:43.000 So if you watch the Kim Potter,
00:51:45.540 or if you know about the outcome,
00:51:46.660 she's the one who thought she had a taser,
00:51:49.480 but she had her gun,
00:51:50.800 and she shot the guy that she thought she was tasing.
00:51:54.080 Now, apparently she could have shot him
00:51:56.620 if she had intended to shoot him,
00:51:58.180 and there would be no charges,
00:52:00.000 because he was reaching for a weapon.
00:52:03.160 And there was enough reason to believe he would use it.
00:52:05.660 So, Kim Potter goes to jail
00:52:13.780 for what was obviously a mistake.
00:52:18.080 Now, you can go to jail for making a mistake.
00:52:22.620 You know, manslaughter is,
00:52:24.040 you know, you should have known better.
00:52:26.300 You know, anybody would have known this was a problem.
00:52:29.120 You know, any realistic sense of taking care of other people
00:52:33.960 would have made this not a problem, right?
00:52:36.660 That sort of thing.
00:52:37.740 But when you see what she did,
00:52:40.060 the sheer, let's say the,
00:52:45.080 it looks like it's stupid,
00:52:47.100 but it wasn't.
00:52:47.900 It looks like the excitement of the moment
00:52:52.960 scrambled her brain.
00:52:56.900 Now, I'll go further than that.
00:52:58.360 It's obviously that's what happened.
00:52:59.780 It's obvious that the emotions of the moment
00:53:04.400 scrambled her brain.
00:53:05.980 And she didn't have the ability in that moment
00:53:08.220 to discern what she was doing.
00:53:12.360 And that's obvious.
00:53:14.060 Now, how she got convicted
00:53:16.040 for something that was an obvious error
00:53:19.260 that ended in the shooting of somebody
00:53:22.000 who deserved to get shot at that very moment.
00:53:24.440 Somebody says poor training, but I don't think so.
00:53:29.640 I mean, it could be.
00:53:31.120 But I don't think you can train somebody
00:53:33.160 for a specific situation.
00:53:35.580 You can train people for lots of things,
00:53:39.000 but this was so specific.
00:53:41.400 Do you think that they trained people?
00:53:44.560 Well, remember that she said,
00:53:47.520 she was reported to said,
00:53:50.300 taser, taser, taser.
00:53:51.720 Which means that at that moment,
00:53:54.300 she thought she was holding a taser.
00:53:57.820 To me, that would be the end of the trial.
00:54:00.400 If you knew that she yelled,
00:54:01.980 taser, taser, taser,
00:54:03.060 then the only thing you know for sure
00:54:04.400 is that she believed she had that in her hand.
00:54:06.820 Because she probably thought to herself,
00:54:08.960 gunner, taser, gunner, taser, gunner, taser.
00:54:12.660 Right?
00:54:13.820 Before she pulled her taser,
00:54:15.200 don't you think she was thinking to herself,
00:54:17.280 gunner, taser, gunner, taser, gunner, taser.
00:54:19.360 And she picked up something that had a handle
00:54:22.280 and a trigger just like a gun.
00:54:25.560 But also just like a taser.
00:54:28.120 And then yelled, taser, taser, taser,
00:54:30.100 because her brain was still in taser,
00:54:32.080 but she had picked the wrong thing.
00:54:34.640 So to me, that was an obvious case
00:54:36.840 of white people throwing a white person under the bus
00:54:40.160 so they did not look like racists
00:54:42.260 and didn't have to deal with it.
00:54:43.800 So I would say that there's a good chance
00:54:45.860 it'll be overturned.
00:54:47.500 Because to me, I don't think there could be
00:54:49.780 a more obvious case of injustice.
00:54:52.980 That one was pretty obvious.
00:54:54.380 But the public would not allow a white cop
00:54:57.300 to shoot a black person
00:54:58.380 who wasn't actually pointing a weapon right at them.
00:55:01.580 So the public can't handle that.
00:55:03.600 So I think the jurors just said,
00:55:05.220 well, I'm not going to make this my problem.
00:55:07.420 The public can't handle this.
00:55:08.720 We'll throw this cop under the bus.
00:55:10.820 So I believe that it was a massive injustice,
00:55:13.840 and obviously so.
00:55:17.080 But white people always throw white people under the bus
00:55:20.520 to protect themselves.
00:55:23.140 It's the most common thing you'll see.
00:55:25.060 It's the reason I lost two careers.
00:55:27.180 I lost two careers for being white and male
00:55:31.720 because the white male people in senior management
00:55:36.320 didn't want to look like they were a bunch of racists.
00:55:39.620 So they just stopped promoting white males for a while.
00:55:44.940 That's when I left.
00:55:46.020 Twice.
00:55:46.840 Two different careers.
00:55:48.140 So in both cases, it's white people
00:55:49.740 throwing white people under the bus.
00:55:51.500 So when white people are discriminated against for race,
00:55:55.080 it's often from white people.
00:55:58.300 We're just saying,
00:55:58.960 I'm going to throw this white person under a bus
00:56:00.620 to protect myself.
00:56:02.240 We do it all the time.
00:56:05.800 Not proud of it.
00:56:06.840 All right.
00:56:09.220 Let's see your comments here.
00:56:14.680 What do I predict will happen with Alec Baldwin?
00:56:17.460 I think probably there will be
00:56:18.780 private cases against him that might succeed,
00:56:24.240 but I don't think he has a legal risk.
00:56:30.240 Yeah, because Alec Baldwin shot a white person.
00:56:32.920 Shooting a white person isn't especially illegal in this country
00:56:37.880 if it looked accidental.
00:56:40.840 If it was accidental and he had shot a black person,
00:56:44.220 I think he'd go to jail.
00:56:46.320 If the situation were exactly the same,
00:56:50.020 I think he'd go to jail.
00:56:50.960 Is jump the shark an example of name-calling
00:57:00.380 or a bad analogy?
00:57:01.880 Well, it's definitely a tell for cognitive dissonance
00:57:06.440 if there's not also an argument.
00:57:11.160 What's the most interesting way a simulation could go in 2022?
00:57:15.740 Let's see.
00:57:16.240 What's the most interesting thing?
00:57:17.460 Well, Trump running for president would be pretty interesting.
00:57:20.960 Well, that's 2024.
00:57:23.180 The most interesting thing this simulation could bring us.
00:57:26.680 Look at what it's brought us so far.
00:57:29.100 We can build a house in 12 hours, 3D printing.
00:57:33.280 We may have developed platforms that can cure cancer
00:57:36.880 because of the pandemic stuff.
00:57:39.460 We certainly know how to handle the next pandemic better, right?
00:57:43.400 We took one of the biggest risks in the public,
00:57:46.960 which was a pandemic,
00:57:48.120 and because we actually had it,
00:57:50.960 we're probably in a lot better shape for the next time.
00:57:53.660 Because nuclear power is popular again,
00:57:56.100 and fusion looks like it's happening,
00:57:58.080 climate change is probably solved.
00:58:00.600 So this year alone,
00:58:02.000 we probably are on our way to solve climate change,
00:58:05.540 housing,
00:58:06.940 employment's good,
00:58:09.840 cancer may be near treatment,
00:58:12.120 treatment for everything.
00:58:14.020 No, a Trump Speaker of the House would be fun,
00:58:18.700 but I don't think the Republicans would go for that.
00:58:24.640 Cure cancer by inducing heart attacks, maybe.
00:58:27.520 But I think the question is that the platform
00:58:30.120 could be used more generally,
00:58:31.520 that mRNA platform,
00:58:33.360 if it doesn't kill us.
00:58:34.300 Sounds like a golden age, exactly.
00:58:44.620 Was Jesus a programmer that entered the simulation?
00:58:49.420 Maybe.
00:58:51.520 All right, that's all I got for now,
00:58:53.100 and I will talk to you all tomorrow.
00:58:55.320 Maybe there'll be more news,
00:58:56.640 but I doubt it.
