Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody. Are you ready for the peak experience of your entire existence?
00:00:08.900 Well, I hope you're ready, because it's coming at you right now.
00:00:11.940 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it is renowned around the entire solar system
00:00:17.280 as the best thing that's ever happened to anybody.
00:00:19.820 And if you'd like to take it up to the next level, and you're the kind of people who do that,
00:00:24.440 you know who you are. You do. And may I add, you look extra sexy today.
00:00:32.900 And if you'd like to take that up a notch, too, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,
00:00:37.100 a tank or a gel, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:43.180 I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine here today,
00:00:48.120 the thing that makes everything better. It's called the Simultaneous Sip,
00:00:52.480 and it can stop a Russian invasion. If you don't think so, watch this. Go.
00:01:02.680 All right, take the sip. Now look around. Look around the room.
00:01:07.480 Do you see any Russians invading you? No. No, you don't. And that's what I promised you.
00:01:14.440 I promised you that would be the case.
00:01:16.280 Never break a promise.
00:01:20.600 Well, there's a new TV series on Amazon Prime that I didn't think you could even make a show like this.
00:01:32.020 Talk about provocative.
00:01:34.620 You know, you've seen some provocative content lately, but wow.
00:01:38.100 Let me describe this, and you tell me if you think this would...
00:01:43.220 Honestly, I didn't think you could even put something like this on any kind of a streaming service in 2022.
00:01:51.180 Because it's not like these are backward times when we were less awake and aware.
00:01:57.240 I mean, this is 2022, damn it.
00:01:58.900 And there's a streaming service who thought this would be okay to stream to the American public.
00:02:06.740 Now let's see if you're as disgusted by this as I am.
00:02:10.060 It's called Reacher, and it involves a man who plays the role of a hero.
00:02:19.400 Ugh!
00:02:19.780 It's 2022, people.
00:02:24.340 You do not have this kind of a show with a man as the main character doing heroic things like beating people up who deserve it.
00:02:34.180 That, my friends, is a 90s kind of attitude.
00:02:38.400 This character should be played by a black woman who weighs no more than 95 pounds.
00:02:44.700 And that 95-pound black woman, if she were in the role that she was born to play, of Reacher,
00:02:54.380 she would be beating up 10, 12 people simultaneously.
00:02:59.300 Because that's what you can do when you have skills, and you weigh 95 pounds.
00:03:04.500 So, I'm a little shocked that there could be this muscular white guy starring in a series.
00:03:13.920 And that doesn't seem right.
00:03:17.000 Anyway, Rasmussen has a poll that says that 66%, roughly two-thirds of people polled in America,
00:03:26.120 say Biden should take a cognitive test.
00:03:30.240 But more interesting is the percentage that say Biden is mentally and physically up to the job of president.
00:03:37.500 Does anybody want to take a guess about the approximate?
00:03:44.360 You don't have to get the exact number.
00:03:46.900 But approximately, just off the top of your head,
00:03:50.080 how many people do you think would say, as a percentage,
00:03:53.700 that Biden is mentally and physically up to the job of president?
00:03:56.620 Oh, wow, your guessing is excellent.
00:04:00.340 May I compliment you on your guessing?
00:04:03.360 It's 27%.
00:04:04.880 Look how many of you are within 2%.
00:04:07.960 Give yourselves a pat on the back.
00:04:10.900 When I told you that you were sexier than normal,
00:04:15.660 what I left out was smarter than normal.
00:04:19.180 And I think you can see it clearly in these answers.
00:04:21.700 Yes, without the benefit of any scientific polling,
00:04:25.080 each of you knew that approximately a quarter of the public
00:04:27.680 would say that Biden is cognitively just fine.
00:04:33.460 Speaking of cognitive things,
00:04:36.080 I absolutely loved a Twitter thread.
00:04:39.580 You can find it in my feed.
00:04:42.640 From a cognitive scientist, Scott Barry Kaufman,
00:04:46.380 who you should follow anyway.
00:04:48.460 He has some great content.
00:04:51.000 But Scott Barry Kaufman tells the story of...
00:04:53.880 He says he likes to do edibles.
00:05:00.240 So here's his tweet that starts it off.
00:05:02.240 He goes,
00:05:02.580 I love edibles, meaning marijuana edibles.
00:05:05.260 But the edibles I do are usually only about 5 to 10 milligrams of THC content.
00:05:10.780 I accidentally purchased a snickerdoodle
00:05:13.800 with abnormally high THC content.
00:05:16.260 I didn't realize until a second after I ate most of it
00:05:19.680 that the single cookie was at 100 milligrams.
00:05:23.920 So it was 10 to 20 times the power of what he would normally experience.
00:05:29.780 Now here's the fun part,
00:05:30.840 and I won't read you the whole thread because it's worth looking at.
00:05:33.660 So he decides before he starts losing his, let's say, powers of judgment,
00:05:40.940 he realizes that in a few minutes he's just going to be tripping balls.
00:05:44.340 I mean, he's just going to be in an interesting situation.
00:05:50.720 So being a cognitive scientist,
00:05:53.540 which is what makes this whole thing interesting,
00:05:55.920 is he decided to sort of play it out,
00:05:59.720 and I guess at some point he decided to document his experience.
00:06:03.680 So he decides to take an Uber to the emergency room
00:06:07.360 so that whatever is about to happen to him,
00:06:10.240 he can ride it out with professionals around in case something goes.
00:06:13.760 And I guess they took his pulse, and they're like,
00:06:16.860 holy crap, now that's a pulse.
00:06:20.720 And so as I expected with my complete lack of medical training,
00:06:28.780 he wasn't in, it didn't look like he was actually going to die.
00:06:32.320 He was just going to have a real interesting mental experience.
00:06:35.460 Now he describes it as hallucinating, basically, like a trip.
00:06:40.480 Now, you might be aware,
00:06:43.920 I don't know if any of you are aware of this,
00:06:45.900 but I've had experience with this drug.
00:06:52.140 Yes, I have.
00:06:53.500 And I've never had an experience of anything
00:06:55.520 that I would describe as hallucinating.
00:06:58.580 Has anybody else ever had that?
00:07:00.360 Now, I don't know if it's the way I do it,
00:07:02.140 or maybe I'm just too acclimated to it or something,
00:07:05.500 but I've never had anything even close to that.
00:07:08.560 But I will accept that if you took ten times your normal amount,
00:07:13.040 in the form of an edible in particular,
00:07:15.560 that maybe you could have something like that.
00:07:17.860 So anyway, the net of it is that this cognitive scientist
00:07:21.240 got a real look behind the curtain.
00:07:24.640 Do you know what I mean?
00:07:26.140 If you're a cognitive scientist
00:07:27.560 and you've never had a hallucination experience,
00:07:31.000 like a hallucinogen,
00:07:31.940 if you've never had that experience,
00:07:34.080 you're working on the other side of the curtain,
00:07:36.440 you know, the part where everybody can see stuff.
00:07:39.080 But as soon as you take that trip,
00:07:43.560 you see behind the curtain
00:07:44.960 all the stuff you couldn't see on the other side.
00:07:47.860 And that's what happened to, I think, Scott Barry Kaufman.
00:07:51.140 But he's got an interesting experience in front of him, I believe.
00:07:56.040 Now, I can't read his mind,
00:07:57.760 so this is just me speculating.
00:07:59.340 There's no way he could go through the experience he did
00:08:02.840 and ended up with a good story to tell and some insights
00:08:06.060 without wanting to do a mushroom trip.
00:08:09.800 You can't come out of that not wanting to be a little curious.
00:08:13.960 What if I took it up a level?
00:08:16.100 And here's what I would say to Scott Barry Kaufman
00:08:19.260 if he's thinking about that.
00:08:21.100 Whatever he experienced with this overdose of the cookie,
00:08:27.420 well, every experience with that is not in any way
00:08:30.740 roughly similar to what a mushroom experience would be.
00:08:35.320 It's just not.
00:08:36.780 And I didn't experience what he experienced,
00:08:38.520 but I can still say that with some confidence.
00:08:41.120 Anybody on here would agree with me, I think,
00:08:43.220 if you've had that experience.
00:08:45.580 But the most important part of this question was
00:08:47.760 he said he ate most of that snickerdoodle,
00:08:51.700 and I sent him a message to see if I could get the rest of it
00:08:55.920 for myself, but, I don't know,
00:08:58.160 that seemed like a pretty awesome cookie.
00:09:00.720 I also wonder how much of that cookie I could have eaten
00:09:04.380 without feeling anything.
00:09:07.920 You know, I'm pretty sure I could have polished off half a box
00:09:14.340 before I noticed anything was amiss.
00:09:16.980 Anyway, here's a story that I didn't talk about when it was newer
00:09:22.020 because I didn't believe it.
00:09:25.360 You see stuff on Twitter and you say,
00:09:27.400 I'm not sure that's true.
00:09:28.980 That looks a little bit too on the nose.
00:09:31.380 But I think this is true,
00:09:33.500 that when Elon Musk was challenged by,
00:09:36.840 I guess, the world food program
00:09:39.340 that just $6 billion of his wealth
00:09:42.800 could solve world hunger,
00:09:44.520 which they later walked back a little bit and said,
00:09:47.680 well, $6 billion would help a lot
00:09:49.300 with the infrastructure to get people fed.
00:09:52.020 It wouldn't feed everybody.
00:09:54.440 But Elon Musk apparently took the challenge
00:09:57.600 and quietly sold or donated $6 billion worth of stock
00:10:02.100 to some kind of charities
00:10:04.480 that presumably have something to do with feeding people.
00:10:07.000 So we don't know the details of where it went,
00:10:09.280 but as someone else said on Twitter,
00:10:11.720 is that the most baller thing you've ever heard in your life?
00:10:16.500 That somebody said,
00:10:17.360 if you give $6 billion, we could cure world hunger,
00:10:20.300 which was hyperbole.
00:10:21.920 Nobody believed that, literally.
00:10:24.180 But then he challenged that assumption,
00:10:27.360 you know, that that math could even make sense.
00:10:29.420 And then he gave $6 billion.
00:10:34.060 How do you beat that?
00:10:36.420 I mean, seriously.
00:10:37.980 How do you beat that?
00:10:40.320 For just publicity?
00:10:43.400 I don't know.
00:10:45.580 When you can make your real moves in the real world also funny,
00:10:50.400 then you're operating at a different level.
00:10:52.640 You want to know who the real operators are in this world?
00:10:58.840 I'm going to give you a hint.
00:11:01.460 I don't know if this will help you or not.
00:11:03.760 But when you see people do real things
00:11:06.180 that make a real difference,
00:11:07.620 such as donating $6 billion to charity,
00:11:10.480 but it's also in the context of kind of funny,
00:11:15.420 you have somebody operating on a whole different level.
00:11:19.280 A whole different level.
00:11:20.220 And that's sort of like a tell for somebody
00:11:23.160 who is behind the curtain.
00:11:26.360 So much so that looking for the humor in people's moves
00:11:30.840 can really tell you something.
00:11:33.600 All right.
00:11:36.780 One of the more interesting stories,
00:11:39.320 which is interesting because it shouldn't be interesting,
00:11:43.300 which is interesting,
00:11:45.580 which is that Ilhan Omar, Representative Omar,
00:11:50.220 tweeted this.
00:11:51.420 And she was talking about the Canadian government.
00:11:55.600 No, I'll actually talk about the journalists
00:11:57.380 who felt the need to...
00:11:58.780 I'll just read you her twote.
00:12:00.440 Her tweet.
00:12:02.040 Twote?
00:12:02.980 Her quote or a tweet.
00:12:04.400 Her twote.
00:12:05.740 She said,
00:12:06.360 I fail to see why any journalist felt the need
00:12:08.380 to report on a shop owner
00:12:09.880 making such an insignificant donation
00:12:12.460 rather than to get them harassed.
00:12:15.060 It's unconscionable,
00:12:16.220 and journalists need to do better.
00:12:17.700 So while it seems like much of the political right
00:12:22.040 in the United States
00:12:22.940 is in favor of the truck drivers
00:12:24.820 and the trucking protest in Canada,
00:12:29.180 Ilhan Omar,
00:12:29.900 who you would expect to be
00:12:31.020 always on the opposite side
00:12:32.420 of wherever the right was,
00:12:34.240 is coming down solidly
00:12:35.740 on the side of justice.
00:12:37.820 And justice in this case,
00:12:42.280 in my opinion,
00:12:43.120 and hers apparently too,
00:12:44.880 is that you shouldn't be doxing people
00:12:47.500 for small donations to legal activities.
00:12:51.340 That's really too far.
00:12:53.560 And, you know,
00:12:55.100 I saw I think over 1,000 people
00:12:57.460 had quote tweeted her,
00:12:59.500 and most of them were saying something
00:13:01.260 to the effect of,
00:13:02.220 well, when you've lost Omar,
00:13:04.640 you've, you know,
00:13:05.720 you've gone too far,
00:13:07.000 or how unusual it is that,
00:13:09.920 how unusual it is
00:13:11.420 that she would be on the side
00:13:12.420 and everything.
00:13:12.860 And I started to do one of those too,
00:13:15.140 because that just felt like
00:13:16.380 the natural way to handle this.
00:13:17.600 And then I thought,
00:13:18.540 well, maybe I shouldn't.
00:13:21.260 Maybe I shouldn't quote tweet that.
00:13:23.660 Maybe that should just live by itself.
00:13:26.080 Because I feel like
00:13:26.900 that's a more respectful way to treat it,
00:13:28.760 although I suppose talking about it
00:13:30.560 cancels out what I'm saying.
00:13:32.660 But I think that that deserved
00:13:34.300 just a tweet or retweet.
00:13:36.740 Because if you just agree with it,
00:13:39.780 maybe that's the end of the story.
00:13:42.500 Maybe when somebody who sees an injustice
00:13:46.220 and calls it out,
00:13:47.340 maybe you don't need to say anything about that.
00:13:49.920 Maybe that is, maybe that's it.
00:13:52.340 Somebody saw an injustice,
00:13:54.440 they called it out.
00:13:56.320 So we could be on the same side about that.
00:13:58.920 So we're on the same side a little bit,
00:14:00.820 and it seems that the pandemic
00:14:03.360 maybe brought us closer together
00:14:05.100 in a weird way.
00:14:08.900 Somebody thinks I'm high.
00:14:10.880 I hate to inform you that I'm not.
00:14:15.580 I know.
00:14:16.700 Surprise.
00:14:18.340 So what about Florida?
00:14:20.340 Man,
00:14:20.640 I don't know if DeSantis leads a charmed life
00:14:25.660 or he's just the luckiest governor
00:14:28.980 or he's just that good.
00:14:30.980 It's one of those things.
00:14:32.280 Or maybe it's all three.
00:14:33.400 I don't know.
00:14:33.740 But Florida set records in 2021 for tourism.
00:14:39.200 What?
00:14:41.380 During the pandemic,
00:14:43.520 Florida set records for tourism.
00:14:46.220 Now, of course,
00:14:46.860 some of that was helped by the fact
00:14:48.100 that it was a free state.
00:14:49.700 So people didn't really have many choices.
00:14:52.280 During the pandemic,
00:14:52.980 if anybody talked about traveling domestically,
00:14:56.320 where did they say they were going?
00:14:58.360 If they said they were moving,
00:15:01.540 it was either going to be Texas or Florida.
00:15:06.220 If they said they were going for a vacation,
00:15:08.880 it was usually Florida.
00:15:11.860 So Florida actually found a way
00:15:14.280 to make a profit,
00:15:17.280 in a way,
00:15:18.680 at least tourism-wise,
00:15:20.100 on the pandemic.
00:15:22.020 Now, that is a well-managed state.
00:15:24.740 That is a well-managed state.
00:15:26.300 So I'm really fascinated
00:15:31.380 by the Trump versus DeSantis dance
00:15:36.000 that's starting to happen.
00:15:38.880 Because it does seem like Trump
00:15:40.540 probably has the weight
00:15:41.800 that he could get the nomination again
00:15:43.520 if he wants to.
00:15:45.360 But at the same time,
00:15:47.120 I don't know that would get Trump
00:15:48.920 everything he wants.
00:15:51.300 In terms of politics,
00:15:53.860 DeSantis might give Trump
00:15:55.160 more stuff than Trump could get for himself.
00:15:57.660 There would be Trump-like stuff,
00:15:59.960 meaning that, you know,
00:16:00.920 the same philosophy of thought.
00:16:03.180 So,
00:16:04.080 that puts a little pressure on Trump,
00:16:07.360 doesn't it?
00:16:08.660 Because if you're Trump,
00:16:10.120 if you genuinely want the things
00:16:12.100 that you say you want,
00:16:13.900 what happens if you're not
00:16:14.960 the best deliverer of those things?
00:16:17.460 And just because of the provocation
00:16:20.080 that Trump brings with everything,
00:16:21.400 I think he's surfaced all the issues
00:16:25.080 in a way that only Trump can.
00:16:28.800 In other words,
00:16:29.820 I wouldn't assume the stage one
00:16:32.220 in which I think Trump
00:16:33.900 was actually ideally suited.
00:16:36.320 I think Trump was ideally suited
00:16:38.800 for his first term.
00:16:40.240 Because he needed to show us
00:16:42.660 that the news was fake.
00:16:44.100 He did.
00:16:45.200 He needed to show us
00:16:46.920 what was important.
00:16:48.580 China.
00:16:49.500 He did.
00:16:49.980 So, I think that in terms of priorities
00:16:52.260 and, you know,
00:16:52.860 even border security
00:16:53.920 and stuff like that,
00:16:55.160 I think that Trump
00:16:56.280 showed us what works.
00:16:58.460 And then, weirdly,
00:17:00.160 Biden showed us what doesn't.
00:17:02.980 Right?
00:17:04.340 But the only thing
00:17:05.280 that Biden did bring,
00:17:06.840 and I'm going to give him credit
00:17:08.060 for this,
00:17:09.140 is that even though
00:17:09.940 he's made some, you know,
00:17:11.600 I think bad mistakes
00:17:12.540 in terms of demonizing
00:17:14.320 the unvaccinated,
00:17:15.980 I think he generally has
00:17:18.240 kept the provocation low.
00:17:21.460 That was one of the things
00:17:22.660 he promised,
00:17:23.920 to keep the division low.
00:17:25.520 And I think the division
00:17:26.540 that's being sowed
00:17:27.480 is mostly,
00:17:28.360 you know,
00:17:29.800 baseline stuff.
00:17:30.980 It doesn't seem like
00:17:31.760 he's the one
00:17:32.320 who's creating it.
00:17:33.720 Whereas Trump
00:17:34.440 was really the one
00:17:35.180 causing the trouble,
00:17:36.200 if you know what I mean.
00:17:37.320 But I think that Trump
00:17:38.680 caused productive trouble.
00:17:41.520 This is where I depart
00:17:42.920 from a lot of people.
00:17:43.800 I think the trouble
00:17:45.720 that Trump caused
00:17:46.900 was mostly productive
00:17:48.780 because it was the conversations
00:17:50.540 we needed to have.
00:17:52.560 But now that everything
00:17:53.700 surfaced,
00:17:55.420 you know,
00:17:55.840 Trump did, I think,
00:17:58.420 and I probably will
00:18:00.140 always believe this,
00:18:02.420 I think Trump's first term
00:18:03.980 is one of the greatest
00:18:05.640 presidencies
00:18:06.360 and will always be
00:18:07.340 looked that way.
00:18:08.520 I think once historians
00:18:10.660 get some objectivity
00:18:12.140 over time,
00:18:13.800 I think it will look like
00:18:14.680 one of the great
00:18:15.180 presidencies.
00:18:16.460 And when he first ran,
00:18:17.820 I said he should be
00:18:18.440 a first one-term president.
00:18:20.700 Does anybody remember
00:18:21.580 me saying that?
00:18:23.360 That when he first ran,
00:18:24.440 I said, you know,
00:18:25.460 this might make a good
00:18:26.600 first-term situation,
00:18:29.060 one-term president.
00:18:30.400 Because if you mix
00:18:32.140 things up enough,
00:18:32.960 it's just hard to get elected
00:18:33.900 that second time.
00:18:35.920 In order for Trump
00:18:37.140 to be as effective
00:18:38.340 as he was
00:18:39.200 to bring us as much
00:18:40.360 really truth
00:18:42.160 in a weird way,
00:18:43.520 ironically.
00:18:44.960 I mean,
00:18:45.360 Trump is the one
00:18:46.360 who told us
00:18:46.880 how corrupt everything is
00:18:48.140 in a way that makes
00:18:50.720 us believe it.
00:18:51.700 Because now we can see
00:18:52.740 it with our own eyes.
00:18:55.460 So it seems to me
00:18:56.500 that he was uniquely
00:18:57.400 perfect for the time.
00:18:59.400 He needed to take out
00:19:00.500 the Bush dynasty,
00:19:01.820 he needed to take out
00:19:02.760 the Clinton dynasty.
00:19:04.440 I'm not sure if they're
00:19:05.320 completely taken out.
00:19:06.920 But they were things
00:19:08.100 that only he could do.
00:19:09.020 Could you imagine
00:19:11.000 if you reversed the order
00:19:12.320 and DeSantis
00:19:13.860 had been president first
00:19:15.380 and then, you know,
00:19:19.000 Trump tried to be
00:19:19.780 president later?
00:19:20.380 That wouldn't work
00:19:20.960 nearly as well,
00:19:21.820 would it?
00:19:22.640 You needed Trump
00:19:23.620 to go in there
00:19:24.200 and just shake the box
00:19:25.140 like crazy.
00:19:26.340 Break everything,
00:19:27.380 let us see what's in there,
00:19:29.180 let us fight about it,
00:19:30.520 let us scream about it,
00:19:31.460 let us cry about it
00:19:32.300 a little bit.
00:19:33.280 But then when we're done,
00:19:35.180 when we're done
00:19:36.360 screaming at each other
00:19:37.340 and crying,
00:19:38.940 then you've got to fix it,
00:19:40.800 right?
00:19:41.560 Because shaking the box
00:19:42.560 is just, you know,
00:19:43.740 that's just the demolition stage.
00:19:46.200 So maybe DeSantis
00:19:48.720 is an architect
00:19:49.540 and maybe Trump
00:19:51.860 was a wrecking ball
00:19:52.960 and maybe you needed them
00:19:54.620 in exactly the order
00:19:55.560 you got them.
00:19:57.140 That's what it looks like
00:19:58.080 to me.
00:19:58.380 I think that we might
00:20:01.000 be blessed,
00:20:03.280 maybe,
00:20:04.660 with a wrecking ball
00:20:05.760 followed by
00:20:06.500 a top architect.
00:20:08.600 Can't get better than that.
00:20:10.620 Like, if you're in a hole,
00:20:11.920 well, let me not mix
00:20:13.000 my metaphors here,
00:20:14.200 but if you're in a bad place,
00:20:17.260 what you want
00:20:18.260 is wrecking ball first,
00:20:20.980 master architect second.
00:20:22.600 We might be in line
00:20:25.460 to get that,
00:20:26.900 which would be
00:20:27.760 really interesting.
00:20:28.980 Really interesting.
00:20:33.980 Go exempt
00:20:34.940 and do not file.
00:20:36.300 You don't need
00:20:36.740 to block traffic
00:20:37.640 to protest.
00:20:40.600 Oh.
00:20:41.160 Hmm.
00:20:41.440 Okay.
00:20:43.580 I'm not sure
00:20:44.400 I understand that comment.
00:20:45.360 But in order
00:20:49.280 for the wrecking ball
00:20:50.620 slash master architect
00:20:52.360 model to work,
00:20:53.840 that would require
00:20:55.000 Trump to back
00:20:57.200 the concept.
00:20:58.900 And I think that
00:20:59.840 Trump could not
00:21:00.760 back another person
00:21:02.000 for president
00:21:02.620 until,
00:21:04.460 and if,
00:21:05.860 the truth social network
00:21:07.560 launches and
00:21:08.580 looks like it's
00:21:09.880 going to work.
00:21:11.320 I think if the
00:21:12.560 truth network works,
00:21:14.880 you know,
00:21:15.080 Trump's own
00:21:16.340 social network,
00:21:17.280 if that looks like
00:21:18.180 it's going to work,
00:21:19.620 I think that gives
00:21:20.560 him the freedom
00:21:21.220 to be a
00:21:23.700 DeSantis enabler
00:21:25.580 and still claim
00:21:27.180 credit for
00:21:28.000 anything good
00:21:29.380 that happens
00:21:29.860 during a different
00:21:30.980 administration.
00:21:32.700 And I think
00:21:34.120 that would be
00:21:34.540 as strong as play.
00:21:36.700 I think that would
00:21:37.580 be as strong as play.
00:21:39.040 And by the way,
00:21:39.840 it's the one
00:21:40.180 I'd want to see.
00:21:41.520 Because if I can
00:21:42.500 be honest,
00:21:43.780 I think I can,
00:21:45.080 can I?
00:21:45.960 I can be honest
00:21:46.880 with you,
00:21:47.280 can't I?
00:21:47.780 I act like that
00:21:48.520 would be a surprise.
00:21:49.900 Yes, I can be
00:21:50.560 honest with you.
00:21:51.420 I don't want a
00:21:52.120 president of that
00:21:52.820 age.
00:21:55.500 I love Trump.
00:21:57.240 Like, personally,
00:21:58.660 you know,
00:21:58.940 I got to meet him.
00:22:00.100 Personally,
00:22:00.720 I love the guy.
00:22:02.100 Like, he could not
00:22:02.900 have been more
00:22:03.800 generous and kind
00:22:04.860 in person.
00:22:06.200 So when you have
00:22:06.760 a good personal
00:22:07.580 experience with
00:22:08.180 somebody,
00:22:09.200 it's really hard
00:22:09.880 to get past that
00:22:11.200 into any other
00:22:11.840 kind of consideration.
00:22:13.640 So I'm 100%
00:22:15.800 biased in favor
00:22:16.720 of him.
00:22:17.700 I think his
00:22:18.220 first term was
00:22:19.120 historic.
00:22:21.180 And I think that,
00:22:22.260 you know,
00:22:23.960 more of Trump
00:22:24.680 would be better
00:22:25.280 than less.
00:22:27.400 I like what he
00:22:28.700 brings,
00:22:29.160 even though he
00:22:29.660 brings trouble
00:22:30.200 with it,
00:22:30.620 right?
00:22:30.940 But I like what
00:22:31.640 he brings.
00:22:32.660 I think he could
00:22:33.600 bring it better
00:22:34.260 outside of politics
00:22:36.260 at this point.
00:22:37.820 Before, I think
00:22:39.400 he was better
00:22:39.820 inside of politics.
00:22:40.740 I think he was
00:22:41.180 exactly the right
00:22:41.960 person at the
00:22:42.460 right time.
00:22:43.980 But at this point,
00:22:45.040 I think the system
00:22:45.980 could benefit from
00:22:47.600 a George Washington
00:22:49.000 kind of an approach.
00:22:50.920 And by the way,
00:22:51.460 that's what it is.
00:22:53.200 You know,
00:22:53.400 George Washington,
00:22:54.500 in a way,
00:22:55.260 as narratives go,
00:22:57.320 essentially created
00:22:58.440 this country,
00:22:59.540 not by winning
00:23:00.600 the revolution
00:23:02.220 or the war,
00:23:04.380 but some say
00:23:05.540 he created the
00:23:06.220 country by stepping
00:23:07.060 away from power
00:23:07.920 when he was so
00:23:09.320 popular he could
00:23:10.360 have turned it
00:23:10.840 into a dictatorship
00:23:11.600 if he wanted to.
00:23:13.320 But he didn't.
00:23:14.540 He stepped away.
00:23:16.640 Trump is oddly
00:23:17.780 in a similar situation
00:23:19.100 because the polls
00:23:20.600 are going to show
00:23:21.180 he could win
00:23:21.680 the nomination.
00:23:23.200 And I think the polls
00:23:24.040 are going to show
00:23:24.480 he could win
00:23:24.860 the presidency.
00:23:26.320 And he's going to
00:23:27.100 have to look at
00:23:27.660 his own age
00:23:28.460 and he's going to
00:23:30.000 have to look at
00:23:30.520 his own ego.
00:23:34.060 That's the challenge
00:23:34.940 of his life,
00:23:36.180 if you think about it.
00:23:37.860 The greatest challenge
00:23:38.940 of Trump's life
00:23:40.280 ever,
00:23:41.580 I don't think
00:23:43.460 anything would be
00:23:44.020 second place,
00:23:45.420 the greatest challenge
00:23:46.320 of his life
00:23:47.040 would be to have
00:23:48.820 a commanding lead
00:23:49.920 in a hypothetical
00:23:51.420 matchup
00:23:52.420 and then walk away.
00:23:55.580 That would be
00:23:56.440 one of the greatest
00:23:57.040 things a president
00:23:57.980 ever did
00:23:58.520 because
00:24:00.340 Washington did it.
00:24:03.580 Now,
00:24:04.280 the purpose
00:24:04.880 would be different.
00:24:05.460 he wouldn't be
00:24:06.000 walking away
00:24:06.440 from a dictatorship
00:24:07.160 but he would be
00:24:09.180 walking away
00:24:09.680 from a certain
00:24:10.380 amount of power,
00:24:12.000 revenge,
00:24:13.300 payback,
00:24:14.880 winning,
00:24:16.480 like all the things
00:24:17.500 that his ego
00:24:18.180 want.
00:24:19.920 All the things
00:24:20.840 that he would want
00:24:21.620 as a human
00:24:22.560 entity.
00:24:23.900 Those are all
00:24:24.340 the things you want.
00:24:26.100 But,
00:24:26.660 I don't know.
00:24:27.980 This will be
00:24:28.680 a great test.
00:24:30.700 I don't know
00:24:31.840 if Trump
00:24:33.420 could rise
00:24:34.080 to it.
00:24:35.740 I don't know
00:24:36.680 because it's
00:24:37.560 asking a lot,
00:24:38.340 really.
00:24:38.900 It's asking
00:24:39.440 somebody
00:24:39.900 to effectively
00:24:42.520 override
00:24:43.260 their most
00:24:43.720 basic
00:24:44.300 operating system
00:24:46.680 that's driven
00:24:48.040 them their
00:24:48.440 entire life.
00:24:49.800 But could he
00:24:50.560 do it?
00:24:51.440 I think he could.
00:24:53.420 I think it would
00:24:54.180 be the hardest
00:24:54.600 thing he ever did.
00:24:55.420 but I think
00:24:56.680 he could do it.
00:24:57.740 We'll see.
00:25:01.440 Do you think
00:25:02.140 Putin's going
00:25:02.740 to invade?
00:25:05.560 It's looking
00:25:06.280 more and more
00:25:06.960 like this is
00:25:08.200 a psychological
00:25:09.740 operation,
00:25:10.760 isn't it?
00:25:12.500 It looks more
00:25:13.300 and more
00:25:13.720 like this
00:25:18.940 is always
00:25:19.380 just to scare
00:25:20.140 them.
00:25:20.840 So the reasons
00:25:21.480 that we have
00:25:22.220 to think that
00:25:22.920 it was not
00:25:23.360 a serious
00:25:23.820 invasion,
00:25:24.760 you've got
00:25:25.200 the Ukrainians
00:25:26.080 saying that
00:25:27.180 they don't
00:25:27.460 have an
00:25:27.820 invasion force.
00:25:29.160 It's not
00:25:29.540 the kind
00:25:29.920 of force
00:25:30.440 you need
00:25:30.880 for an
00:25:31.200 invasion,
00:25:32.020 full-scale
00:25:32.560 invasion.
00:25:34.220 You've got
00:25:34.920 the Chinese
00:25:35.920 embassy that
00:25:36.640 never even
00:25:37.320 stopped its
00:25:38.100 normal operations
00:25:39.140 in Kiev.
00:25:41.680 What does
00:25:42.180 China know
00:25:42.700 that we don't
00:25:43.180 know?
00:25:43.840 They didn't
00:25:44.260 even stop
00:25:44.720 their normal
00:25:45.220 operations
00:25:45.840 when war
00:25:47.360 was supposed
00:25:47.820 to happen
00:25:48.140 that day.
00:25:50.460 So they
00:25:51.140 must know
00:25:51.560 something.
00:25:51.940 And then
00:25:54.760 the funniest
00:25:55.760 part was
00:25:56.400 apparently
00:25:56.880 Russia,
00:25:59.860 who was
00:26:00.640 it?
00:26:00.860 Their
00:26:01.100 entity was
00:26:03.800 it?
00:26:03.900 You know
00:26:04.160 the story
00:26:04.580 probably.
00:26:08.240 Was it
00:26:09.060 their
00:26:09.540 some kind
00:26:14.300 of foreign
00:26:14.740 entity?
00:26:15.480 they announced
00:26:16.960 that they'd
00:26:17.380 like the
00:26:17.660 United States
00:26:18.220 to tell
00:26:18.580 them when
00:26:19.320 Russia plans
00:26:20.480 to attack
00:26:20.920 Ukraine so
00:26:21.540 they can
00:26:21.820 plan their
00:26:22.260 vacations
00:26:22.760 around it?
00:26:24.660 And
00:26:25.180 apparently
00:26:25.540 an official
00:26:26.540 Russian entity
00:26:27.360 actually issued
00:26:28.580 that.
00:26:29.580 Like actually
00:26:30.280 said,
00:26:31.040 hey,
00:26:31.240 can you tell
00:26:31.660 us all the
00:26:32.080 dates that
00:26:32.580 we're going
00:26:32.920 to attack
00:26:33.900 Ukraine so
00:26:34.560 we can plan
00:26:35.020 our diplomatic
00:26:35.700 vacations
00:26:36.840 around that?
00:26:38.680 Now,
00:26:39.220 do you think
00:26:39.900 that Russia,
00:26:40.960 now obviously
00:26:41.660 Putin must have
00:26:42.580 approved that,
00:26:43.180 right?
00:26:43.960 Or they
00:26:44.920 knew that
00:26:45.340 he would
00:26:45.600 approve it.
00:26:46.100 So it was
00:26:46.500 compatible with
00:26:47.440 Putin,
00:26:48.000 we assume.
00:26:49.440 Do you
00:26:49.760 think that
00:26:50.140 Putin would
00:26:51.220 tease about
00:26:52.700 invading if
00:26:55.160 he planned to
00:26:55.640 actually invade?
00:26:57.640 It doesn't
00:26:58.540 really make
00:26:59.200 sense,
00:26:59.640 does it?
00:27:00.540 It's possible.
00:27:01.520 I mean,
00:27:01.660 it could be
00:27:02.460 the cleverness
00:27:04.680 squared where
00:27:05.460 he just kids
00:27:06.240 like he's not
00:27:06.920 and that's
00:27:07.300 really to get
00:27:09.260 your guard
00:27:10.520 down or
00:27:11.140 something like
00:27:11.520 that.
00:27:11.780 but it
00:27:13.680 really does
00:27:14.600 sound to
00:27:15.360 my ear,
00:27:17.860 it sounds
00:27:18.260 like a
00:27:19.100 country that
00:27:19.620 doesn't plan
00:27:20.180 to invade.
00:27:23.760 Now,
00:27:24.800 could I be
00:27:25.500 wrong about
00:27:25.940 that?
00:27:26.200 Of course,
00:27:27.080 of course.
00:27:28.520 But things
00:27:29.980 are very
00:27:30.660 much suggesting
00:27:32.580 that they're
00:27:34.000 not planning
00:27:34.580 yet or he
00:27:35.060 hasn't decided
00:27:35.680 to invade.
00:27:36.460 Let's put it
00:27:36.920 that way.
00:27:37.240 here's what
00:27:39.820 I think is
00:27:40.280 happening.
00:27:40.760 I think that
00:27:41.220 Russia is
00:27:41.860 trying to
00:27:42.300 make Ukraine
00:27:43.820 and NATO
00:27:44.940 and everybody
00:27:45.460 think he's
00:27:46.100 going to
00:27:46.500 invade.
00:27:47.640 Would you
00:27:48.040 agree so
00:27:48.620 far that
00:27:50.140 he's not
00:27:50.560 trying to
00:27:51.020 trick you
00:27:51.720 into thinking
00:27:53.420 he's not
00:27:54.020 invading?
00:27:54.940 He's doing
00:27:55.500 the opposite.
00:27:57.260 It seems
00:27:57.840 like he's
00:27:58.920 giving you
00:27:59.400 all the
00:27:59.840 indications
00:28:00.320 he plans
00:28:01.020 to invade
00:28:01.860 while telling
00:28:03.240 you he's
00:28:04.080 not going
00:28:04.500 to invade.
00:28:04.980 He wants
00:28:06.800 you to
00:28:07.080 think he's
00:28:07.460 going to
00:28:07.680 invade,
00:28:08.120 right?
00:28:08.720 Why would
00:28:09.140 you do
00:28:09.400 that?
00:28:10.860 And why
00:28:11.260 would you
00:28:11.580 stay in
00:28:13.000 that situation
00:28:13.660 so long?
00:28:14.960 Well,
00:28:15.240 one of it
00:28:15.600 is negotiation,
00:28:16.800 right?
00:28:17.160 Apparently,
00:28:17.880 there's still
00:28:18.820 some negotiating
00:28:19.500 going on.
00:28:20.760 But the
00:28:21.300 other part
00:28:21.760 that I think
00:28:22.180 is equally
00:28:22.760 important is
00:28:23.860 the closer
00:28:25.020 you are to
00:28:25.760 actual kinetic
00:28:27.040 war,
00:28:28.460 the more
00:28:29.500 you're going
00:28:29.880 to see what
00:28:30.720 the other
00:28:31.180 side's
00:28:31.580 defenses look
00:28:32.420 like.
00:28:33.700 Am I
00:28:34.020 right?
00:28:34.900 Now,
00:28:35.600 if anybody
00:28:36.240 has military
00:28:36.860 experience,
00:28:37.860 please override
00:28:38.760 my opinion
00:28:39.320 because I
00:28:40.080 don't.
00:28:41.080 But it
00:28:41.480 seems to
00:28:41.820 me the
00:28:42.100 most obvious
00:28:42.840 logical
00:28:43.320 thing you
00:28:43.800 do is
00:28:45.000 if you
00:28:45.420 know that
00:28:45.800 they're going
00:28:46.080 to see
00:28:46.320 the invasion
00:28:46.860 coming anyway,
00:28:48.340 it's not
00:28:48.740 really going
00:28:49.200 to be a
00:28:49.560 secret invasion,
00:28:51.160 you want
00:28:51.900 to keep
00:28:52.200 them on
00:28:52.680 edge as
00:28:53.140 long as
00:28:53.560 possible
00:28:54.040 because you
00:28:55.180 should be
00:28:55.540 able to
00:28:56.220 figure out
00:28:57.840 where all
00:28:58.160 the defensive
00:28:58.720 strategies are
00:28:59.720 because they
00:29:00.560 would be
00:29:00.960 more active.
00:29:02.620 So,
00:29:02.840 for example,
00:29:03.280 if they
00:29:04.680 had a
00:29:05.020 type of
00:29:06.000 missile system
00:29:06.860 defense,
00:29:08.600 you should
00:29:09.080 see them
00:29:09.660 getting a
00:29:10.800 little more
00:29:11.100 active around
00:29:11.900 it and
00:29:13.000 that would
00:29:13.280 tell you
00:29:13.560 where it
00:29:13.800 is.
00:29:14.460 You might
00:29:14.880 see assets
00:29:15.940 being moved
00:29:16.440 into place
00:29:17.220 and it's
00:29:18.060 easier to
00:29:18.560 spot something
00:29:19.120 when it's
00:29:19.460 on the move.
00:29:20.920 So,
00:29:21.380 I would
00:29:21.680 expect that
00:29:22.460 part of
00:29:22.800 this is
00:29:23.220 Putin just
00:29:23.740 finding out
00:29:24.300 how hard
00:29:25.340 would it
00:29:25.620 be to
00:29:27.000 invade this
00:29:27.540 country because
00:29:28.380 he probably
00:29:28.720 doesn't
00:29:29.080 know.
00:29:31.200 How many
00:29:31.820 of you
00:29:32.100 have
00:29:32.320 military
00:29:32.740 experience
00:29:33.360 would agree
00:29:33.860 with the
00:29:34.180 following
00:29:34.460 statement?
00:29:35.840 Putin
00:29:36.160 doesn't
00:29:36.560 know what
00:29:36.880 he's in
00:29:37.220 for if
00:29:37.760 he invades.
00:29:38.580 He doesn't
00:29:39.000 know.
00:29:40.020 Because I
00:29:40.540 don't think
00:29:40.840 it could
00:29:41.140 be known.
00:29:43.580 Is it
00:29:45.020 the famous
00:29:46.420 quote by
00:29:47.040 Mike Tyson
00:29:47.680 that when
00:29:49.440 it comes to
00:29:49.880 a boxing
00:29:50.320 match,
00:29:50.820 everybody
00:29:51.060 has a
00:29:51.480 plan until
00:29:52.120 they get
00:29:52.440 punched in
00:29:52.900 the face?
00:29:54.480 And then
00:29:55.100 that's the
00:29:55.440 end of your
00:29:55.740 plan?
00:29:56.060 So here
00:30:01.020 I asked
00:30:01.620 the question
00:30:02.120 about what
00:30:02.700 kind of
00:30:03.280 defensive
00:30:05.560 systems might
00:30:06.780 Ukraine have.
00:30:08.000 Now I would
00:30:08.600 take as a
00:30:09.120 given that
00:30:09.560 the public
00:30:10.880 doesn't know
00:30:11.480 what weapons
00:30:12.040 they have.
00:30:13.700 Is that
00:30:14.080 fair to
00:30:14.460 say?
00:30:15.780 I feel like
00:30:16.740 it should be
00:30:17.320 fair to say
00:30:17.880 but maybe
00:30:18.440 not.
00:30:19.260 Do we
00:30:19.620 publicize
00:30:20.180 every time
00:30:20.680 somebody buys
00:30:21.360 a weapon
00:30:21.800 system?
00:30:23.580 I don't
00:30:24.220 know.
00:30:25.240 Because you
00:30:25.780 do see
00:30:26.160 publicity
00:30:26.580 about
00:30:26.900 weapons
00:30:27.240 systems
00:30:27.620 all the
00:30:27.980 time.
00:30:28.880 As in
00:30:29.440 this country
00:30:30.700 bought this
00:30:31.280 defensive
00:30:31.720 weapon system
00:30:32.840 or whatever.
00:30:33.600 But you
00:30:34.120 would think
00:30:34.460 that the
00:30:34.760 good stuff
00:30:35.240 they wouldn't
00:30:35.580 talk about,
00:30:36.100 right?
00:30:38.640 I assume.
00:30:39.920 Now I
00:30:40.300 ask this
00:30:40.680 question.
00:30:41.140 Is there
00:30:41.360 any kind
00:30:41.780 of, well,
00:30:43.260 how long
00:30:43.820 would a
00:30:44.100 Russian tank
00:30:44.920 last if
00:30:46.520 it got on
00:30:47.000 Ukraine soil?
00:30:49.100 And here's
00:30:49.800 the sort of
00:30:50.860 the bigger
00:30:51.380 answer and
00:30:51.920 then the
00:30:52.200 smaller answer.
00:30:53.020 The bigger
00:30:53.440 answer is,
00:30:54.020 as I
00:30:54.560 understand
00:30:54.940 it, a
00:30:56.380 squadron of
00:30:57.140 tanks would
00:30:58.840 have, in
00:30:59.620 modern warfare,
00:31:01.020 they would
00:31:01.220 have all
00:31:01.560 kinds of
00:31:01.940 air support
00:31:02.720 and ground
00:31:04.100 support, and
00:31:05.400 if you tried
00:31:05.860 to get near
00:31:06.380 them with a
00:31:07.220 missile or a
00:31:08.020 tank or an
00:31:09.280 airplane, there
00:31:10.660 would be a
00:31:11.200 defensive umbrella
00:31:12.520 around the
00:31:13.400 tank squadron.
00:31:15.940 So far, does
00:31:16.900 that sound
00:31:17.280 right?
00:31:18.400 So, in
00:31:19.300 modern warfare,
00:31:20.040 have we ever
00:31:20.680 seen that
00:31:21.320 deployed?
00:31:21.800 I don't
00:31:23.720 think so.
00:31:25.320 I don't
00:31:25.780 think we've
00:31:26.200 ever seen
00:31:26.600 a tank
00:31:27.500 war between
00:31:29.120 modern powers
00:31:30.360 using the
00:31:31.640 technology that
00:31:32.460 would be
00:31:32.740 available today,
00:31:33.720 right?
00:31:34.860 So, nobody's
00:31:35.800 ever seen it.
00:31:36.640 Nobody knows
00:31:37.100 what would
00:31:37.360 happen.
00:31:38.240 My guess is
00:31:39.340 that a big
00:31:40.180 identifiable
00:31:41.540 metal object,
00:31:43.280 such as a
00:31:44.020 troop carrier
00:31:44.660 or a
00:31:45.580 tank,
00:31:47.340 would disappear
00:31:48.720 in the first
00:31:49.380 ten minutes
00:31:49.940 of a modern
00:31:50.540 battle.
00:31:50.920 like ten
00:31:53.020 minutes.
00:31:54.160 That's my
00:31:55.160 non-military
00:31:55.900 mind, without
00:31:56.880 the benefit of
00:31:57.600 any experience
00:31:58.280 whatsoever,
00:31:59.060 because it's
00:31:59.820 too easy to
00:32:00.440 find them.
00:32:01.720 I would think
00:32:02.400 that in modern
00:32:03.020 warfare, the
00:32:03.700 only thing that
00:32:04.280 matters is you
00:32:04.900 can find them.
00:32:06.140 Am I right?
00:32:08.300 That identifying
00:32:09.100 where something
00:32:09.920 is is all it
00:32:10.760 takes, because
00:32:11.900 you have the
00:32:12.320 weapons to
00:32:12.820 destroy anything.
00:32:14.760 They can't
00:32:15.440 stop you from
00:32:16.140 destroying something
00:32:16.840 you can identify.
00:32:19.060 Am I right?
00:32:19.600 If you can see
00:32:20.840 it, you can
00:32:21.240 kill it with
00:32:22.400 today's weapons.
00:32:23.960 So I, one of
00:32:25.620 the weapons that
00:32:26.360 I assumed
00:32:27.620 existed, and I
00:32:29.760 just got a
00:32:30.220 confirmation this
00:32:31.000 morning from
00:32:31.520 several people
00:32:32.340 tweeting at me.
00:32:33.500 Have you ever
00:32:33.980 heard of missiles
00:32:34.840 called ATACMS?
00:32:37.720 And variations
00:32:39.260 therein.
00:32:40.320 So it would be
00:32:40.840 one missile that
00:32:42.280 would be aimed
00:32:43.020 at, say, a
00:32:44.380 squadron of
00:32:45.060 tanks or a big
00:32:46.560 military industrial
00:32:47.760 complex.
00:32:49.040 And the
00:32:49.520 missile would
00:32:50.000 come down, and
00:32:50.840 before it lands,
00:32:52.280 it would start
00:32:53.040 spinning really
00:32:54.340 fast.
00:32:55.540 And while it's
00:32:56.160 spinning, then it
00:32:56.920 would start giving
00:32:57.500 off smaller
00:32:58.220 projectiles.
00:32:59.840 And the smaller
00:33:00.460 projectiles would
00:33:01.300 just be like rain.
00:33:02.820 You know, they
00:33:03.260 would just fill the
00:33:04.080 air with basically
00:33:05.540 deadly projectiles.
00:33:07.120 So that by the
00:33:07.900 time the missile and
00:33:09.060 the projectiles hit
00:33:09.800 the ground, it
00:33:11.080 basically just
00:33:12.180 rips through
00:33:13.940 metal, you know,
00:33:16.480 walls, concrete,
00:33:17.560 it's just going to
00:33:18.040 rip through
00:33:18.340 everything because
00:33:19.080 the kinetic energy
00:33:19.960 is so high.
00:33:21.060 So you could
00:33:22.580 take out an
00:33:23.220 entire squad of
00:33:24.660 tanks with one
00:33:27.460 missile.
00:33:29.100 Now, could the
00:33:30.640 Russians shoot
00:33:31.280 down that one
00:33:31.920 missile?
00:33:33.340 Probably.
00:33:33.980 They have some
00:33:34.520 kind of air, you
00:33:36.320 know, defense.
00:33:37.760 But how many of
00:33:38.940 them could they
00:33:39.420 get?
00:33:40.260 If we shot five
00:33:41.680 of them, I
00:33:42.820 mean, do the
00:33:43.660 Ukrainians have
00:33:44.440 five of them?
00:33:44.980 If they shot
00:33:46.220 five of them,
00:33:46.940 could Russia get
00:33:47.520 all five before
00:33:48.960 they landed?
00:33:49.520 Because only one
00:33:50.140 needs to land
00:33:50.820 before it takes
00:33:51.420 out their whole
00:33:51.980 business there.
00:33:58.020 Scott, why do
00:33:58.800 you accept the
00:33:59.340 globalist premise
00:34:00.280 that Putin
00:34:00.840 initiated the
00:34:01.760 Ukraine invasion
00:34:02.700 hoax?
00:34:05.740 Do I do
00:34:06.520 that?
00:34:08.360 I didn't know
00:34:09.140 I was doing
00:34:09.600 that.
00:34:11.320 So I guess
00:34:12.580 if I thought
00:34:13.420 I was doing
00:34:13.860 that.
00:34:14.100 I am under
00:34:17.100 the understanding
00:34:17.860 that the
00:34:21.140 Ukraine, the
00:34:21.940 history, and
00:34:22.660 Russia is all
00:34:23.340 complicated and
00:34:24.280 it's not as
00:34:24.800 simple as, you
00:34:26.780 know, Putin
00:34:27.280 wants to attack.
00:34:29.780 I get that.
00:34:31.020 Right?
00:34:31.240 So I'm not
00:34:31.680 buying into the
00:34:32.400 simplest explanation.
00:34:35.640 But here's my
00:34:36.260 take.
00:34:36.660 I think that
00:34:37.180 Putin can't
00:34:39.000 take the risk
00:34:39.900 of invading
00:34:41.120 Ukraine and
00:34:41.980 losing.
00:34:42.320 Am I right?
00:34:45.200 The risk of
00:34:46.220 invading Ukraine
00:34:47.200 and finding out
00:34:48.140 that the Russian
00:34:48.680 army can't get
00:34:49.820 10 miles into
00:34:51.060 Ukraine would
00:34:52.920 be catastrophic.
00:34:55.000 So I feel like
00:34:56.060 he can't take the
00:34:56.980 risk.
00:34:58.120 On paper, it
00:34:59.360 looks like, oh
00:34:59.940 yeah, he can make
00:35:00.720 short work of
00:35:01.460 Ukraine because,
00:35:02.480 you know, he's
00:35:03.320 just got all this
00:35:04.000 good military stuff.
00:35:05.680 But I'll bet you
00:35:06.460 that never works in
00:35:07.740 the real world.
00:35:08.740 I'll bet you in the
00:35:09.300 real world there's
00:35:10.040 some weapons that
00:35:10.760 they don't know
00:35:11.220 are coming at
00:35:11.820 them and they
00:35:12.900 would just bog
00:35:13.480 them down and
00:35:14.200 they would look
00:35:14.560 like the weakest
00:35:15.180 army.
00:35:16.320 And so they
00:35:17.120 would end up
00:35:17.560 being economically
00:35:19.040 destroyed without
00:35:21.220 getting Ukraine and
00:35:23.360 while also having
00:35:24.360 their entire military
00:35:25.400 credibility destroyed.
00:35:27.140 And I'm not even
00:35:27.880 sure Putin could
00:35:28.740 survive that kind
00:35:31.080 of an upheaval.
00:35:31.760 He's pretty popular
00:35:32.440 in Russia.
00:35:33.700 But I don't know
00:35:34.340 if he could survive
00:35:35.000 it.
00:35:35.180 We'll see.
00:35:40.180 Wall Street Journal
00:35:41.020 was talking about
00:35:41.700 how hard it is to
00:35:42.540 spy on Putin because
00:35:43.520 it's hard to get a
00:35:44.260 human being who's
00:35:45.800 willing to do it
00:35:46.560 because I imagine
00:35:47.480 getting caught spying
00:35:49.300 on Putin is a bad
00:35:50.200 day.
00:35:51.160 So they can't get
00:35:52.060 people to do it.
00:35:54.080 Wall Street Journal
00:35:54.860 had a bunch of
00:35:55.440 interesting articles
00:35:56.260 today.
00:35:58.240 And one of them
00:35:59.000 was how China
00:36:00.220 suppressed COVID
00:36:01.240 better.
00:36:02.420 Do you know
00:36:02.760 what the biggest
00:36:04.200 trick for suppressing
00:36:06.520 COVID in China
00:36:07.400 was?
00:36:09.280 Rapid testing.
00:36:12.040 They had,
00:36:13.500 apparently they
00:36:14.140 had so many
00:36:14.560 tests that they
00:36:15.420 could do an
00:36:16.480 entire city in
00:36:18.560 five hours.
00:36:20.660 They could test
00:36:21.540 everyone in the
00:36:22.200 city.
00:36:23.620 Let me say that
00:36:24.280 again.
00:36:25.480 They had enough
00:36:26.420 tests that they
00:36:27.600 could test everybody
00:36:28.340 in the city in
00:36:29.060 five hours.
00:36:30.180 Everybody in the
00:36:30.820 city.
00:36:32.120 What?
00:36:33.700 Um,
00:36:34.200 and also when
00:36:36.500 they were doing
00:36:36.860 their lockdowns
00:36:37.600 apparently they
00:36:38.080 would do it by
00:36:38.740 like neighborhood.
00:36:40.440 They wouldn't
00:36:40.700 necessarily close
00:36:41.660 down the whole
00:36:42.180 city.
00:36:43.320 And so far it
00:36:43.960 looks like it's
00:36:44.380 working.
00:36:44.840 Although I did
00:36:45.420 see some pictures
00:36:46.020 from Hong Kong
00:36:46.860 that said they're
00:36:47.800 getting a surge.
00:36:49.320 So we do think the
00:36:50.380 surge is going to
00:36:51.040 happen.
00:36:51.620 I don't know that
00:36:52.260 China could keep it
00:36:53.020 off forever.
00:36:54.360 But they were
00:36:55.380 actually effective.
00:36:57.040 And I think the
00:36:57.620 testing was the
00:36:58.320 biggest part of it.
00:36:59.380 Now when you think
00:37:00.380 about that, what
00:37:02.300 would the United
00:37:02.860 States have looked
00:37:03.600 like if we had
00:37:04.900 had enough tests?
00:37:06.680 And why didn't
00:37:07.880 we?
00:37:09.260 Corruption.
00:37:10.620 I'm almost certain
00:37:11.640 of it.
00:37:12.500 Now I don't have
00:37:12.940 proof, but I am
00:37:15.660 so sure that if you
00:37:17.000 looked into why we
00:37:18.200 didn't have tests and
00:37:19.980 others did, I think
00:37:21.660 you'd find corruption.
00:37:22.940 Because I don't know
00:37:23.620 anything else that
00:37:24.500 would explain it
00:37:25.120 really.
00:37:25.420 Even incompetence
00:37:26.280 couldn't get you
00:37:26.860 there.
00:37:27.060 Rasmussen also had
00:37:31.480 a poll in which
00:37:32.100 they asked about
00:37:33.180 whether the
00:37:35.520 Clinton 2016
00:37:36.680 campaign scandal
00:37:37.960 is bigger than
00:37:40.240 Watergate.
00:37:41.320 Is it worse than
00:37:42.400 Watergate?
00:37:43.540 Now how much do
00:37:44.140 you love the fact
00:37:44.920 that Rasmussen
00:37:46.020 actually asked this
00:37:47.160 poll question?
00:37:48.440 Is the Clinton
00:37:49.600 allegedly hiring
00:37:51.880 lawyers who
00:37:52.960 allegedly spied on
00:37:54.640 Trump's communications
00:37:57.220 traffic?
00:37:58.700 So how much do
00:38:01.520 you love that they
00:38:02.020 even asked the
00:38:02.540 question?
00:38:03.300 But two-thirds of
00:38:04.520 the American public
00:38:05.340 agreed that what
00:38:07.480 we're seeing in the
00:38:08.160 news today that the
00:38:09.820 Clinton campaign did
00:38:10.920 is by two-thirds of
00:38:12.760 the public, worse
00:38:14.900 than Watergate.
00:38:17.900 Worse than
00:38:18.560 Watergate.
00:38:19.720 Two-thirds of the
00:38:20.760 public.
00:38:21.080 Here's a good
00:38:24.900 question.
00:38:25.940 This is to me.
00:38:27.480 Did Trump order
00:38:28.220 you to amass an
00:38:29.220 audience of midwit
00:38:30.240 fence-sitting boomers
00:38:31.340 and persuade them
00:38:32.160 to the right?
00:38:35.460 I appreciate
00:38:36.340 your $50.
00:38:38.100 Thank you for
00:38:39.240 that comment.
00:38:40.100 If you'd like to
00:38:40.840 make more comments
00:38:41.580 of that nature
00:38:42.220 for $50 a piece,
00:38:45.860 I welcome the
00:38:46.600 criticism.
00:38:49.360 All right.
00:38:49.700 So I think the
00:38:52.160 funniest thing
00:38:52.680 about this Clinton
00:38:54.720 campaign being
00:38:55.920 worse than
00:38:56.420 Watergate is that
00:38:57.940 Carl Bernstein,
00:38:59.120 the official CNN
00:39:00.120 worse than
00:39:01.320 Watergate guy,
00:39:02.820 the guy they
00:39:03.500 would bring on
00:39:04.040 to say that
00:39:04.500 whatever Trump
00:39:05.080 was doing that
00:39:05.620 week was worse
00:39:06.320 than Watergate,
00:39:08.120 I believe that
00:39:09.940 Carl Bernstein
00:39:10.720 is now hidden
00:39:12.620 so deeply in a
00:39:13.720 cave that even
00:39:14.600 Jesus himself
00:39:16.060 couldn't find
00:39:16.900 himself out in
00:39:18.060 three days.
00:39:18.580 So that's
00:39:20.320 how hidden
00:39:21.240 Carl Bernstein
00:39:22.080 is.
00:39:23.240 We should do
00:39:23.900 a GoFundMe
00:39:25.140 to see if
00:39:25.580 anybody can
00:39:26.020 find him.
00:39:28.480 Just see if
00:39:29.560 they can find
00:39:30.040 him.
00:39:30.320 Like at
00:39:30.640 Starbucks or
00:39:32.600 something.
00:39:33.900 Just to see if
00:39:34.820 you can find
00:39:35.340 him.
00:39:36.120 I'll bet he
00:39:36.620 is so missing
00:39:37.680 right now.
00:39:39.520 All right.
00:39:40.260 Over at CNN,
00:39:41.840 speaking of CNN,
00:39:43.280 this is of course
00:39:44.600 a Fox News
00:39:45.400 report.
00:39:45.820 Fox News just
00:39:47.640 loves dumping
00:39:48.240 on CNN and
00:39:49.740 vice versa.
00:39:51.100 And according
00:39:51.540 to an insider
00:39:52.220 now, Chris
00:39:52.860 Cuomo is a
00:39:53.640 despised figure
00:39:54.700 within CNN.
00:39:59.560 Can you
00:40:00.200 imagine what
00:40:00.700 the conversation
00:40:01.400 is like at
00:40:02.080 CNN?
00:40:03.440 What the hell
00:40:04.300 would that be
00:40:04.780 like?
00:40:05.240 Like the actual
00:40:05.960 private conversations
00:40:07.100 among the
00:40:08.400 producers and
00:40:09.260 the on-air
00:40:09.980 talent?
00:40:11.360 It's got to be
00:40:12.200 kind of hilarious,
00:40:13.100 isn't it?
00:40:13.540 Like in a
00:40:14.420 weird way?
00:40:18.480 Are you
00:40:19.160 dismissing the
00:40:19.800 high probability
00:40:20.520 that China is
00:40:21.320 lying?
00:40:22.360 I'm not
00:40:22.940 dismissing the
00:40:23.680 high possibility
00:40:24.660 that China is
00:40:25.360 lying, but the
00:40:26.620 rest of the
00:40:27.020 world would
00:40:27.480 know if they
00:40:28.340 had a massive
00:40:29.040 COVID problem.
00:40:31.860 It would be
00:40:32.580 too hard to
00:40:33.040 lie about it.
00:40:35.600 So anyway,
00:40:37.460 CNN is a
00:40:38.220 festering
00:40:38.940 cesspool of
00:40:39.920 hatred.
00:40:40.560 They all hate
00:40:40.980 each other.
00:40:41.360 But here's
00:40:42.260 the question
00:40:42.700 that I have
00:40:43.800 after all
00:40:44.260 this.
00:40:45.280 Okay, now
00:40:45.680 that we know
00:40:46.220 for sure that
00:40:47.520 the Clinton
00:40:47.960 campaign was
00:40:48.920 behind all
00:40:50.620 of the Russia
00:40:51.180 collusion hoax
00:40:52.040 stuff, now
00:40:53.920 that's just a
00:40:54.480 matter of fact.
00:40:55.580 How many of
00:40:56.560 the on-air
00:40:57.380 people at
00:40:58.180 CNN knew
00:40:59.780 it was
00:41:00.180 bullshit all
00:41:01.020 along and
00:41:02.620 reported it
00:41:03.300 anyway?
00:41:04.520 And how many
00:41:05.340 of them thought
00:41:05.760 it was true?
00:41:07.100 Because here's
00:41:07.820 the thing, if
00:41:08.300 they thought it
00:41:08.760 was true,
00:41:10.320 they're all
00:41:10.860 stupid.
00:41:11.360 Am I
00:41:13.800 right?
00:41:14.340 Is that
00:41:14.660 fair to
00:41:15.000 say?
00:41:15.760 If you
00:41:16.340 thought that
00:41:16.760 was all
00:41:17.140 true from
00:41:17.620 the start,
00:41:18.860 you're kind
00:41:19.520 of not that
00:41:20.000 smart, honestly.
00:41:22.820 Like, it
00:41:23.380 would be one
00:41:23.820 thing to say,
00:41:24.400 well, wait
00:41:24.780 and see.
00:41:26.100 I mean, that
00:41:26.500 would be fair.
00:41:27.560 But if you
00:41:28.340 believed it,
00:41:29.360 if you believed
00:41:30.740 it from the
00:41:31.260 start, you're
00:41:33.480 not very smart,
00:41:34.360 and that's not
00:41:34.760 a good look.
00:41:35.880 But it
00:41:36.480 could be
00:41:36.800 worse.
00:41:37.620 Yeah, and
00:41:37.960 Van Jones
00:41:38.960 said when he
00:41:41.240 was asked
00:41:41.680 that he
00:41:41.900 thought it
00:41:42.100 was a
00:41:42.300 nothing
00:41:42.480 burger.
00:41:42.780 But I
00:41:43.700 don't think
00:41:44.120 he ever
00:41:44.580 varied from
00:41:45.500 that, did
00:41:45.900 he?
00:41:47.380 I think that
00:41:48.340 Van Jones
00:41:48.900 was always
00:41:49.420 consistent.
00:41:51.120 I don't
00:41:51.720 think he
00:41:52.020 made a
00:41:52.320 prediction that
00:41:52.840 it was not
00:41:53.520 a nothing
00:41:53.980 burger at
00:41:54.540 any point.
00:41:55.220 So I think
00:41:55.600 he was always
00:41:56.080 right about
00:41:56.860 that.
00:41:57.640 So the
00:41:57.960 question is,
00:41:59.580 how many
00:42:00.680 people at
00:42:01.320 CNN knew
00:42:02.160 they were
00:42:02.580 lying or
00:42:04.320 misleading,
00:42:05.380 and how many
00:42:06.240 of them were
00:42:06.640 just stupid?
00:42:07.180 Because neither
00:42:08.860 of those is a
00:42:09.540 good look, but
00:42:10.280 it was one of
00:42:10.820 those.
00:42:11.800 It was either
00:42:12.300 stupid or
00:42:12.880 lying, there's
00:42:13.440 no second
00:42:13.900 choice, or
00:42:14.720 third choice,
00:42:15.240 right?
00:42:16.460 And why
00:42:17.040 aren't we even
00:42:17.540 asking that
00:42:18.100 question?
00:42:19.200 Wouldn't you
00:42:19.620 like to see
00:42:20.180 Don Lemon
00:42:20.720 ask the
00:42:21.240 question,
00:42:22.260 did you
00:42:22.780 know you
00:42:23.280 were lying?
00:42:25.900 Or wrong?
00:42:27.680 And what
00:42:28.040 would they
00:42:28.320 say?
00:42:28.700 Would they
00:42:29.060 say, oh,
00:42:29.660 yeah, you
00:42:30.120 know, we
00:42:31.200 did our best,
00:42:31.980 but we
00:42:32.220 thought it
00:42:32.520 was true?
00:42:34.100 Is that
00:42:34.600 what they
00:42:34.940 said?
00:42:35.180 Or would
00:42:36.300 they change
00:42:36.760 the subject
00:42:37.300 to something
00:42:38.100 else that
00:42:38.680 Trump did
00:42:39.720 that they're
00:42:40.400 accusing him
00:42:40.900 of?
00:42:44.840 A Trump
00:42:45.580 supporter
00:42:46.000 bought CNN?
00:42:46.980 I don't know
00:42:47.700 that that's
00:42:48.100 true, but it
00:42:48.520 might be.
00:42:50.240 I don't know
00:42:50.960 if he's a
00:42:51.380 Trump supporter.
00:42:54.660 So there's
00:42:55.440 a terrific
00:42:56.540 thread on
00:42:57.720 how the
00:42:58.280 fake news
00:42:59.560 works that
00:43:00.920 you should
00:43:01.160 read, but
00:43:01.720 first I
00:43:02.860 wanted to
00:43:03.200 call out
00:43:03.660 this odd
00:43:04.980 thing.
00:43:05.980 Can you
00:43:06.340 think of
00:43:06.740 any industry
00:43:07.600 besides
00:43:08.320 CNN and
00:43:09.920 MSNBC and
00:43:10.960 the news,
00:43:11.960 think of
00:43:12.540 any industry
00:43:13.320 where you
00:43:14.660 could deliver
00:43:15.320 to customers
00:43:16.260 the opposite
00:43:17.200 of what they
00:43:17.840 think they're
00:43:18.240 paying for
00:43:18.760 or why
00:43:20.160 they go
00:43:20.460 there, and
00:43:22.180 it works
00:43:22.740 out, and
00:43:23.720 they still
00:43:24.020 make money.
00:43:25.600 Because CNN's
00:43:27.000 job is to
00:43:27.640 give you the
00:43:28.100 news, and
00:43:29.500 instead they
00:43:30.000 gave you
00:43:30.340 fake news.
00:43:31.880 That's the
00:43:32.280 opposite of
00:43:32.820 the news.
00:43:33.120 is literally
00:43:34.060 the opposite
00:43:34.660 of the
00:43:35.040 product you
00:43:35.540 think you're
00:43:35.920 getting.
00:43:37.020 Is there
00:43:37.540 any other
00:43:38.080 industry that
00:43:38.640 can give you
00:43:39.140 literally the
00:43:39.880 opposite of
00:43:40.620 what you
00:43:40.920 thought you
00:43:41.200 were buying
00:43:41.620 and stay
00:43:42.000 in business?
00:43:44.020 I was
00:43:44.560 thinking, what
00:43:44.940 if you went
00:43:45.280 to your
00:43:45.500 doctor, and
00:43:47.260 a doctor
00:43:47.740 diagnoses you
00:43:48.500 and said,
00:43:48.840 all right,
00:43:49.200 take these
00:43:50.220 pills.
00:43:51.820 And so you
00:43:52.220 say to the
00:43:52.540 doctor, will
00:43:53.580 these pills
00:43:54.080 cure me?
00:43:55.520 And the
00:43:55.860 doctor says,
00:43:56.720 no, no,
00:43:58.580 these pills
00:43:58.980 will kill you.
00:43:59.640 Well, that
00:44:01.300 would be the
00:44:01.700 opposite of
00:44:02.300 why you
00:44:02.580 went to
00:44:02.820 the doctor.
00:44:04.100 Would you
00:44:04.520 still pay
00:44:04.900 the doctor?
00:44:05.840 Well, I
00:44:06.080 guess you'd
00:44:06.380 have to pay
00:44:06.720 in advance.
00:44:08.520 But it's
00:44:09.140 really remarkable
00:44:09.880 that the
00:44:10.560 industry can
00:44:11.200 stay alive
00:44:11.900 and vital,
00:44:13.060 the news
00:44:13.480 industry, by
00:44:15.060 delivering exactly
00:44:16.280 the opposite of
00:44:17.460 what they
00:44:17.740 promise you.
00:44:18.840 And you
00:44:19.180 know it.
00:44:20.400 That's the
00:44:20.940 funny thing, is
00:44:21.440 you know it.
00:44:22.480 If you didn't
00:44:23.020 know they were
00:44:23.520 giving you the
00:44:24.020 opposite of what
00:44:24.700 you bought,
00:44:25.160 well, that
00:44:25.800 makes sense,
00:44:26.380 why you would
00:44:26.780 keep consuming
00:44:28.020 it.
00:44:28.280 But they
00:44:29.280 give you the
00:44:29.780 opposite, and
00:44:30.440 you consume
00:44:30.900 it anyway.
00:44:32.540 And there
00:44:33.060 was a great
00:44:33.600 thread on
00:44:35.660 that about
00:44:36.220 why journalists
00:44:37.060 end up
00:44:37.760 printing bullshit,
00:44:39.840 and it's
00:44:40.280 because the
00:44:40.740 system requires
00:44:41.680 it, basically.
00:44:42.980 So the
00:44:43.600 system requires
00:44:44.440 that they
00:44:44.800 work faster
00:44:45.780 than they
00:44:47.080 know it
00:44:47.480 would take
00:44:47.860 to get good
00:44:48.440 sources.
00:44:49.740 So the
00:44:50.160 system requires
00:44:50.900 them to work
00:44:51.360 too fast to
00:44:52.340 do a good
00:44:52.760 job.
00:44:53.600 And then the
00:44:54.200 system rewards
00:44:55.000 them for having
00:44:56.320 provocative content,
00:44:57.460 because those
00:44:58.400 are the ones
00:44:58.760 that get
00:44:59.000 clicks.
00:44:59.840 So the
00:45:00.500 system guarantees
00:45:01.580 that anybody
00:45:02.560 who intends
00:45:03.700 to be honest
00:45:04.480 will eventually
00:45:05.100 be turned.
00:45:07.460 Think about
00:45:08.220 that.
00:45:09.220 The system
00:45:10.000 as it exists,
00:45:10.980 the system
00:45:11.460 of gathering
00:45:12.040 and making
00:45:13.160 money from
00:45:13.720 news dissemination,
00:45:15.200 it guarantees
00:45:16.300 fake news.
00:45:18.620 It guarantees
00:45:19.560 it.
00:45:20.620 And now it
00:45:21.020 doesn't mean
00:45:21.340 every story
00:45:21.980 every time,
00:45:23.200 but over time
00:45:24.260 it guarantees
00:45:24.860 that the news
00:45:26.000 business will
00:45:26.680 only be
00:45:27.260 populated with
00:45:28.140 people who
00:45:28.580 are comfortable
00:45:29.080 lying,
00:45:30.620 and lying
00:45:31.580 makes more
00:45:32.020 money.
00:45:34.080 Am I
00:45:34.680 wrong?
00:45:35.580 The economic
00:45:36.560 incentive to
00:45:38.320 be an honest
00:45:38.960 person in the
00:45:39.660 news business
00:45:40.200 is disappearing.
00:45:41.900 The economic
00:45:42.720 incentive to be
00:45:43.560 a gigantic
00:45:44.100 liar and be
00:45:45.720 in the news
00:45:46.160 business is
00:45:46.760 increasing.
00:45:47.900 It just pays
00:45:48.560 really well and
00:45:49.280 it's not illegal
00:45:49.960 apparently.
00:45:51.720 Maybe it
00:45:52.140 should be.
00:45:53.940 All right.
00:45:56.680 That, to
00:45:59.000 me, is
00:45:59.580 really
00:45:59.940 interesting
00:46:01.580 because we
00:46:03.380 have a system
00:46:03.980 that guarantees
00:46:04.960 we get the
00:46:05.680 wrong answers
00:46:06.340 and it's a
00:46:06.980 system that
00:46:07.420 we depend
00:46:07.840 on.
00:46:09.280 One of our
00:46:10.160 most vital
00:46:10.740 systems is
00:46:12.140 the news.
00:46:14.360 And we've
00:46:15.180 designed the
00:46:15.960 system that's
00:46:16.720 vital.
00:46:17.800 It's actually
00:46:18.520 designed in a
00:46:19.520 way to guarantee
00:46:20.340 it gives us the
00:46:21.500 opposite of what
00:46:22.360 we need.
00:46:23.720 Think about
00:46:24.320 that.
00:46:25.080 It's guaranteed.
00:46:26.420 It's built
00:46:27.180 into the
00:46:27.620 system.
00:46:28.640 The system
00:46:29.160 can only do
00:46:29.800 what the
00:46:30.380 system does.
00:46:33.600 Capitalism
00:46:34.000 doesn't make
00:46:34.540 you lazy.
00:46:36.080 It makes you
00:46:36.820 have to work
00:46:37.260 to get some
00:46:37.740 money.
00:46:42.280 That's not a
00:46:43.020 golden age
00:46:43.500 element, yes.
00:46:44.600 But I do
00:46:45.140 believe I'm
00:46:47.680 being asked to
00:46:48.240 apologize for
00:46:48.980 my Trump
00:46:49.400 comment.
00:46:50.460 Which one
00:46:51.000 should I
00:46:51.260 apologize for?
00:46:51.960 Or are you
00:46:54.660 even talking
00:46:55.100 to me?
00:46:56.040 What did I
00:46:56.800 say about
00:46:57.220 Trump that's
00:46:58.680 anything but
00:46:59.220 a compliment?
00:47:07.080 Yes.
00:47:07.560 So as the
00:47:09.900 imitation Chen
00:47:11.000 on YouTube
00:47:14.060 is saying,
00:47:14.780 that the
00:47:15.420 independent
00:47:15.940 voices are
00:47:17.000 becoming more
00:47:18.740 credible and
00:47:19.380 more important.
00:47:20.280 I think that's
00:47:20.820 true.
00:47:21.000 But we
00:47:22.000 still don't
00:47:22.420 have any
00:47:22.800 near, you
00:47:23.380 know, even
00:47:24.300 Joe Rogan
00:47:24.880 is not
00:47:25.220 really trying
00:47:25.860 to be
00:47:26.220 political.
00:47:28.140 It just
00:47:28.600 ended up
00:47:29.000 that way.
00:47:31.160 Bring
00:47:31.440 Naval back
00:47:32.080 on.
00:47:33.260 I need a
00:47:33.760 better
00:47:34.020 technology for
00:47:35.120 guests.
00:47:38.560 You were
00:47:39.200 discounting
00:47:39.660 news from
00:47:40.260 NOM and
00:47:40.980 MSN.
00:47:41.580 No, I'm
00:47:41.900 not discounting
00:47:42.580 that news.
00:47:43.140 I'm just
00:47:43.460 talking about
00:47:43.920 the platforms.
00:47:47.900 All right.
00:47:48.240 do you
00:47:50.380 have any
00:47:50.920 other questions
00:47:51.620 because that
00:47:52.520 is about
00:47:53.020 what I
00:47:53.260 wanted to
00:47:53.580 talk about
00:47:53.980 today.
00:47:58.560 Am I
00:47:59.140 going to
00:47:59.440 post on
00:48:00.020 Trump's
00:48:00.400 new
00:48:00.600 platform?
00:48:02.820 Well, it's
00:48:03.780 not open
00:48:04.240 yet, right?
00:48:05.160 I don't
00:48:05.500 think the
00:48:05.820 platform is
00:48:06.280 open yet.
00:48:07.820 Scott, are
00:48:08.560 you richer
00:48:08.980 than Joe
00:48:09.500 Rogan?
00:48:09.940 I doubt
00:48:10.840 it.
00:48:16.660 But the
00:48:17.360 answer is
00:48:17.880 I'm sure
00:48:18.560 I'll test
00:48:19.320 it out.
00:48:19.760 Yes.
00:48:22.220 Any
00:48:22.740 truth,
00:48:23.300 social
00:48:23.620 predictions?
00:48:24.900 Well, you
00:48:25.700 know, as
00:48:26.400 you know,
00:48:26.740 there have
00:48:26.900 been a
00:48:27.380 number of
00:48:27.980 alternative
00:48:28.980 platforms
00:48:29.720 designed to
00:48:31.760 allow free
00:48:33.380 speech.
00:48:34.020 But they
00:48:34.520 run into
00:48:34.900 the same
00:48:35.260 problem that
00:48:36.000 if you're
00:48:36.820 doing dangerous
00:48:38.160 free speech
00:48:38.940 that has
00:48:40.040 to be
00:48:40.320 banned
00:48:40.560 everywhere.
00:48:42.500 And then
00:48:43.140 you end up
00:48:43.580 just with
00:48:44.060 one voice
00:48:44.760 on your
00:48:45.100 platform,
00:48:45.600 which is
00:48:45.900 no fun.
00:48:47.220 But the
00:48:48.460 Trump platform
00:48:49.220 might attract
00:48:50.120 enough people
00:48:50.840 on the
00:48:51.200 left just
00:48:53.120 to dunk
00:48:53.580 on him.
00:48:54.800 It could
00:48:55.580 end up
00:48:55.920 working.
00:48:56.880 So as
00:48:57.760 soon as
00:48:58.020 you throw
00:48:58.380 Trump into
00:48:58.940 the mix,
00:48:59.500 all the
00:49:00.040 rules change
00:49:01.280 because he
00:49:03.540 authors the
00:49:04.640 simulation,
00:49:05.560 he doesn't
00:49:05.880 respond to
00:49:06.420 it.
00:49:07.220 So who
00:49:07.800 knows?
00:49:08.940 But I
00:49:09.660 would say
00:49:10.000 that nothing's
00:49:10.580 had a
00:49:10.800 better chance.
00:49:12.640 Nothing's
00:49:13.080 had a
00:49:13.320 better chance
00:49:13.940 than
00:49:14.500 something with
00:49:16.300 Trump's
00:49:16.640 name on
00:49:16.960 it.
00:49:21.220 All right.
00:49:26.240 And any
00:49:26.920 other
00:49:27.340 questions?
00:49:30.720 All right.
00:49:31.320 That's all
00:49:31.660 for now,
00:49:32.100 and I
00:49:32.440 will talk
00:49:32.800 to you
00:49:33.160 tomorrow.
00:49:34.260 now.
00:49:35.000 All right.
00:49:35.880 All right.
00:49:36.100 All right.
00:49:37.080 All right.
00:49:37.960 All right.
00:49:39.660 All right.
00:49:40.380 egan
