Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of your life.
00:00:08.940 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I know, I know, it doesn't get better than this.
00:00:15.500 That's what you were thinking. I just picked up on it.
00:00:18.900 Looks like our volume is good, our sound is good, our picture is good.
00:00:23.380 It's an amazing day, and let's take it up a notch.
00:00:26.180 All you need is our cupper mugger, a glass of tanker gels, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind,
00:00:31.740 fill it with your favorite liquid, I like coffee, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:00:37.760 It's the dopamine at the end of the day.
00:00:40.300 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it does everything, including stopping a Russian military convoy 40 miles long.
00:00:48.520 Yeah, that's the simultaneous sip. Go.
00:00:56.180 All right. Well, let's talk about all the things.
00:01:03.500 You know, do you ever wonder if whenever there's a big story going on, such as Ukraine,
00:01:10.520 does anybody ever try to slip a big story past the filter?
00:01:17.320 Try to just slip a big story past the people watching when everybody's looking the other direction?
00:01:22.900 Yeah, nothing like that happened. Nothing like that happened.
00:01:27.840 There was a little story about Mark Zuckerberg's money that was funneled into the Wisconsin state elections,
00:01:38.280 well, the national elections, but the state was running them in Wisconsin.
00:01:41.860 There was a little story about apparently the way the money was used to get out the vote
00:01:49.720 was actually bribery and illegal.
00:01:52.900 That's right.
00:01:56.120 Wisconsin.
00:01:58.960 I can't use the words to describe what happened there, apparently, or reportedly,
00:02:05.200 because I would get kicked off of social media.
00:02:09.460 Seriously.
00:02:10.480 I can't even tell you what the news is.
00:02:12.420 I think I would get kicked off of social media.
00:02:14.440 And I'm being serious.
00:02:16.060 It's the news.
00:02:18.000 It's not something I'm making up.
00:02:19.720 I'm just reporting what the news is saying.
00:02:23.640 And the news is reporting that Wisconsin found that the Zuckerberg money that went in to allegedly help get out the vote
00:02:32.880 was, in several cases, breaking the law, and really important laws, it turns out.
00:02:39.080 And, no surprise, do you know why there are laws against that sort of thing?
00:02:46.220 So that this doesn't happen.
00:02:49.240 That's why they have those laws.
00:02:51.300 They have those laws so that exactly this doesn't happen.
00:02:55.160 It's not like, I just want to be, you know, very specific here.
00:03:00.260 It's not like the Zuckerberg money did something that somebody discovered after the fact, wow, it technically violated a law.
00:03:10.100 It technically violated it.
00:03:12.840 No, it wasn't that.
00:03:14.520 It was just violated.
00:03:16.380 It was exactly violated.
00:03:18.240 It was, here's the law, here's the offense.
00:03:21.720 Yep, that fits exactly.
00:03:24.960 Now, at this point, can you make a definitive conclusion about the, let's say, the credibility of the 2022 election?
00:03:39.300 Yes, you can.
00:03:40.240 I'm not going to say it out loud, because I'll be kicked off of social media.
00:03:47.580 But I think if one of the key swing states can show that their local laws were broken by the sound side money,
00:03:56.000 and pretty much everybody thinks the sound side money did make a difference.
00:04:00.520 Let's see.
00:04:01.300 The money made a difference in the election.
00:04:03.700 It was illegal.
00:04:04.860 You know what word somebody would use for that kind of situation?
00:04:11.080 It would start with an R, and it would end with an Iggd.
00:04:17.000 But I wouldn't say it.
00:04:19.020 Because, as you know, no court, no court, has found any fraud.
00:04:26.340 Well, until now.
00:04:28.500 Now, the courts haven't found it yet.
00:04:31.060 But I'm pretty sure they're going to find it.
00:04:33.720 If I had to guess.
00:04:36.960 Well, so that's interesting.
00:04:40.040 Rasmussen has a poll about impressions of NATO, U.S. impressions.
00:04:46.080 And people in the U.S. had a 65% favorable opinion of NATO, which is pretty high for the United States.
00:04:55.580 And another question was, should the U.S. continue to give more money to NATO than other countries?
00:05:01.840 Because I guess we give about a quarter of the budget.
00:05:04.740 53% said, no, we shouldn't give more money.
00:05:08.500 32% said, yes, we should give more money to NATO than other countries.
00:05:12.280 Now, isn't it your first impression?
00:05:17.360 Who would be against the United States paying less and the other countries paying more?
00:05:24.540 How would you be against that?
00:05:26.560 And the answer is, I don't think you'd have as much influence on NATO if you only spend 2%.
00:05:32.500 But if you're 25% of the budget, then you get to decide what NATO does, which is sort of a bargain, you could say.
00:05:43.800 But I wouldn't compare it just dollar to dollar.
00:05:46.620 There's influence in there.
00:05:48.560 All right.
00:05:49.400 So let's talk about Ukraine and try to guess what's happening through the fog of war and the haze of reality.
00:05:58.560 How much of what's coming out of Ukraine do you think is true?
00:06:04.000 I'm going to say that nearly 100% of the things that are pro-Ukraine are bullshit.
00:06:12.280 Nearly.
00:06:12.760 I mean, some of it might be accidentally true.
00:06:15.520 For example, Zelensky is probably still alive.
00:06:19.580 That's probably true.
00:06:21.340 But do you believe the stories of great heroism and how the Russian army has been stopped and running out of gas
00:06:29.040 and all their conscripts don't even know what war they're in and all of that stuff?
00:06:34.700 Well, maybe some of the individual stories are true, especially about the Russian conscripts.
00:06:41.040 But we have debunked most of it by now, right?
00:06:45.240 The 13 Ukrainians bravely telling Russian Navy to F you.
00:06:51.280 Well, that didn't happen.
00:06:53.300 They were just captured.
00:06:55.060 They weren't killed.
00:06:55.920 So pretty much a lot of this stuff you're seeing from pro-Ukraine is part of a very sophisticated persuasion campaign that's working perfectly.
00:07:09.220 It's really working well.
00:07:10.800 Because the West has galvanized and it's all persuasion.
00:07:16.740 Because think about the argument on the other side, which was expressed by, let's see, Colonel McGregor.
00:07:27.420 He was on Trey Gowdy's show on Fox News.
00:07:29.880 And he was basically saying, I'm going to paraphrase, so this isn't exactly what he said, just to be clear.
00:07:38.360 Like, approximately, the idea is that Ukraine has basically been traditionally Russia.
00:07:45.480 Russia told us forever that if we looked to put missiles there, it'd be a problem.
00:07:50.900 He did exactly what he's been saying you would do for 15 years.
00:07:53.760 It's just history, it's fate.
00:07:56.560 There's nothing you can do about it.
00:07:57.960 Stop sending weapons to Ukraine.
00:07:59.540 You'll just get more people killed.
00:08:01.420 You should hope that they surrender as fast as possible because it's just one corrupt government being replaced by another corrupt government.
00:08:09.660 So you don't really buy anything.
00:08:11.340 And there's Zelensky, he's not George Washington.
00:08:14.040 He's just another corrupt guy who's trying to keep his job.
00:08:17.620 So that would be one point of view.
00:08:18.720 Now, what part of that point of view could you debunk?
00:08:23.760 Well, I don't know that you could debunk any of it, could you?
00:08:30.300 If you phrase it right and you frame it right, it looks like the West provoked a war it didn't need to provoke.
00:08:39.340 It looked like the West was the aggressor by trying to turn a country that could have been neutral, could have been neutral.
00:08:47.840 You know, if we'd push for that, it could have been neutral and we pushed for it to be more aggressively NATO.
00:08:54.660 Who exactly started this war?
00:08:56.420 I think NATO did.
00:09:00.120 I think NATO started the war by crossing a line they knew would start a war.
00:09:09.160 I mean, if somebody says, if you do this for 15 years in a row, says if you do this, it's going to be a big problem and then you do it.
00:09:16.200 Well, you can't say you were surprised, right?
00:09:20.280 So I would say that there's a solid argument that NATO, the United States, the West provoked it.
00:09:27.720 But here's the counter argument.
00:09:29.020 If, let's say, Hitler, no, I won't use Hitler.
00:09:40.060 Let's say, let's say there was, let's say, what would be, no, I'm not going to use an example.
00:09:48.240 As soon as I use an analogy, you'll just argue about the analogy, so I won't do that.
00:09:52.460 I'll resist the temptation to use an analogy.
00:09:55.160 But let me just say that there is a way to frame this story in which Ukraine is not a good guy whatsoever.
00:10:02.820 That Ukraine is just using the United States, has persuaded us that they're the good guys,
00:10:07.520 they're a bunch of kleptocrats, replacing them with Putin wouldn't make any difference to the people in Ukraine
00:10:13.940 because they would just go about their day with another illegitimate government.
00:10:18.560 So that's one version.
00:10:22.500 And then the other version is that, you know, Putin is basically Hitler,
00:10:27.500 and if he doesn't conquer, if he conquers Ukraine, he'll keep on going.
00:10:32.680 How true is that?
00:10:34.820 How true is it that Putin, if he got away with taking over countries, more of it, he's already gotten away with it,
00:10:42.280 but if he keeps getting away with it, he would keep doing it?
00:10:45.160 True or false?
00:10:46.780 I feel like that's kind of true.
00:10:48.500 It feels pretty true, because Russia is a power-based philosophy, right?
00:10:55.320 If they have the power, they use it.
00:10:58.460 And when they don't have the power, they don't use it.
00:11:01.820 And maybe that's it.
00:11:03.580 There's no other nuance whatsoever.
00:11:06.540 When they have the power, they use it.
00:11:08.260 Because they think, you know, Russia is a big, strong, powerful country,
00:11:11.700 and if they have the power, they use it.
00:11:14.120 So both of those narratives, I think, are 100% accurate.
00:11:21.200 So we're basically looking at two sides that are somewhat unredeemable in terms of the governments,
00:11:27.840 not the people, of course.
00:11:29.020 But the governments of both sides are completely irredeemable.
00:11:35.020 So you could take either side you wanted.
00:11:37.660 I think the United States is just taking a strategic side.
00:11:40.480 Here's what I think happened.
00:11:43.800 And a little bit of this is informed by a tweet I saw by Camille Ghalive.
00:11:51.880 He seems to know something about this situation.
00:11:54.640 But he talks about, you know, how Russia operates.
00:11:56.960 And he had this observation that there's some kind of a philosophy that countries can optimize their land-based army
00:12:08.720 or their sea-based military, but they can't optimize both.
00:12:15.300 It's just too difficult.
00:12:16.900 It would just be too expensive to have two optimized armies, you know, one in naval and one on land.
00:12:23.860 Now, I'm pretty sure the United States does exactly that.
00:12:27.340 I think we optimize all of it because we can.
00:12:30.500 But a normal country, Russia, just doesn't really have the money to optimize both the navy and the land.
00:12:40.300 Now, here's where it gets interesting.
00:12:43.180 Apparently, the Soviet Union did have the money, so they could have land and sea optimized.
00:12:49.920 Russia doesn't, but they didn't want to give up their, you know, large-ish navy.
00:12:56.460 So they kept a large optimized navy, which meant it became largely impossible to optimize their land-based army.
00:13:05.880 So the hypothesis is that however good you think the Russian army is, you're way off.
00:13:13.420 They're nowhere near as good as you think because they're not optimized.
00:13:16.980 But maybe the navy is.
00:13:19.040 I don't know.
00:13:20.120 I would doubt that, too.
00:13:22.540 So the idea is that there's a little bit of smoke and mirrors going on with the Russian military,
00:13:28.120 and that it might be way weaker than you think.
00:13:31.200 And that the only way that Putin imagined he could win
00:13:35.180 was to go in quickly and scare Ukraine into surrendering, basically.
00:13:39.560 Like, he needed a surrender, but he didn't get one because Zelensky is too good with persuasion.
00:13:48.860 And Zelensky realized, correctly, apparently, that if he used persuasion and, you know,
00:13:54.040 did the George Washington fighting with the troops, you know, leading from the front kind of thing,
00:13:59.460 that he could galvanize the rest of the world, or he had a good chance to.
00:14:02.720 Apparently, he succeeded.
00:14:04.800 And they could hold off long enough that Russia's army couldn't sustain.
00:14:11.460 So the thinking is that Russia doesn't even have an army that could fight an army war.
00:14:18.200 They're just flooding the zone and hoping the bluff works.
00:14:22.900 Now, I do believe that Russia could level any city it wanted.
00:14:27.100 We all agree with that, right?
00:14:28.240 But if they started leveling cities in Ukraine, that's different than Chechnya,
00:14:36.060 meaning that the Russian citizens are going to say,
00:14:38.300 wait a minute, did you just level the city where my grandmother lives?
00:14:42.600 Did you just level the city where my friend lives?
00:14:46.480 Hold on, did you just level the city where my mother-in-law lives?
00:14:50.160 A real example.
00:14:54.100 I don't know that they can.
00:14:55.460 And can you imagine holding the country if you'd leveled Kiev?
00:15:01.760 Imagine holding the country after you did that.
00:15:04.760 Now, what would it take for Russia to hold a country, to occupy it and hold it,
00:15:09.400 if the country didn't want to be in their sphere and was going to resist?
00:15:13.460 What would it take to hold it?
00:15:15.180 Well, a military expert estimated, looking at all the different occupations of different armies across time,
00:15:21.740 that you would need about 20 military in that country for every 1,000 citizens you're trying to suppress.
00:15:30.860 That's a lot.
00:15:32.780 And it's about 20 times more than Russia has.
00:15:36.400 In other words, the Russian military is maybe an order of magnitude, at least,
00:15:43.380 away from being able to hold the country.
00:15:44.880 So in terms of grabbing it and holding it militarily for the long term, not a chance.
00:15:52.740 There isn't any chance.
00:15:54.440 So the only way they could hold Ukraine is to decapitate the leader, put in a puppet,
00:16:00.600 and hope that the citizens follow the puppet.
00:16:03.320 And, you know, that they could put pressure everywhere to make sure that that happened.
00:16:06.760 But they couldn't hold it the old-fashioned way, with power.
00:16:09.160 I'm seeing somebody say, so wrong, in all caps.
00:16:15.440 Hey, you're a so wrong guy.
00:16:17.560 The guy that says, I'm so wrong, in all caps.
00:16:22.880 Russia uses threats and persuasion to hold the areas.
00:16:25.660 Yes, yes.
00:16:26.860 It would be a puppet, plus threats and persuasions and bribes and all those things.
00:16:31.820 That's exactly what I'm saying.
00:16:33.900 So, you know, they wouldn't need an occupying army if they could get that kind of cooperation.
00:16:39.160 But I don't know that Ukraine is cooperative.
00:16:42.760 Ukraine is looking pretty independent.
00:16:46.140 So it could be that Putin has himself in a situation where he can't win,
00:16:51.400 because he doesn't have the right kind of army to sustain a siege.
00:16:56.660 In fact, it would be sort of a race to see who starves to death first.
00:17:00.700 We'll talk about that in a minute.
00:17:01.800 The Russian army, or the people who are under siege.
00:17:05.300 I'm not sure who would starve first, because it's pretty hard to feed an army.
00:17:09.160 And they're already having problems, reportedly.
00:17:11.220 But I don't believe any of the reports.
00:17:14.920 Yeah, how many Russians couldn't hold Afghanistan?
00:17:17.300 Exactly.
00:17:17.740 That's an example.
00:17:19.960 It just can't be done with small numbers.
00:17:22.720 And they have small numbers.
00:17:24.200 So I'm all over the place here on this.
00:17:27.720 So if that was the plan, Russia needs to either negotiate its way out and take what it can get,
00:17:38.260 or it's got to figure something out, you know, find another way to win or something.
00:17:42.520 There are smart people saying the way this probably ends is with a partition of Ukraine,
00:17:49.660 where the most Russian part that's close to the border, Russia keeps with a puppet,
00:17:55.080 and maybe the rest of it becomes a neutral country or something like that.
00:17:59.020 I don't know that that's going to fly.
00:18:01.780 So I can't see that being a thing.
00:18:04.000 But this brings us to that 40-mile convoy, which some say is a four-mile convoy on a 40-mile road.
00:18:15.340 But other reports say it's actually a 40-mile convoy.
00:18:19.260 Now, the reports are that the convoy keeps getting bogged down.
00:18:22.840 So we see reports of, you know, Ukrainian citizens blocking the streets
00:18:30.840 and trying to stop the tanks from coming in.
00:18:34.460 I don't know that that's going to work very long.
00:18:37.400 That sounds like something that would work for an hour.
00:18:41.700 And maybe if you do an hour at a time, it does make a difference.
00:18:45.180 But we're hearing reports that the Russian convoy is running out of food,
00:18:51.380 running out of gas,
00:18:55.280 and maybe even some of these soldiers are sabotaging their own gas tanks
00:18:59.720 to get out of fighting.
00:19:03.000 Now, do you believe any of that?
00:19:06.920 Well, the only thing I believe is that that 40-mile convoy
00:19:09.980 is going slower than you'd expect them for reasons we don't understand.
00:19:14.440 That's the only thing we know.
00:19:15.540 I don't necessarily believe that they're starving or they're out of fuel.
00:19:23.900 That feels like more of the Ukrainian persuasion bullshit, doesn't it?
00:19:28.980 Sounds like propaganda.
00:19:30.940 Could be true.
00:19:32.340 And that's why it works.
00:19:34.080 It works because you think, well, that could be true.
00:19:36.720 Now, why do you think that it could be true
00:19:38.460 that the Russian convoy is running out of food and gas?
00:19:43.200 Why do you think it could be true?
00:19:45.960 Don't say that it is or is not.
00:19:48.000 But why do you think it could be?
00:19:51.000 Because of Ukrainian persuasion.
00:19:53.740 The Ukrainians have given you a bunch of anecdotes
00:19:56.680 of Russian soldier incompetence and lack of training.
00:20:01.860 They're showing the conscripts calling home.
00:20:05.840 They're talking stories about the Russian soldiers
00:20:09.420 asking for directions from the locals.
00:20:12.300 I don't believe any of those stories.
00:20:15.660 But if some of those took hold
00:20:17.840 and you believe that some of those anecdotes were true,
00:20:20.600 then you buy into the Russian army being so incompetent
00:20:23.940 that they may have gone on a long convoy
00:20:26.660 without enough gas and food and no way to get it to them.
00:20:30.900 But I kind of doubt it.
00:20:32.820 I feel like if there's one thing an army can do well,
00:20:36.500 it's get food and gas to the place you need to get it.
00:20:42.020 But when it's an uncontested area,
00:20:46.620 because as far as we know, nobody's attacking the convoy, right?
00:20:50.260 It's literally uncontested on a clear road for miles,
00:20:54.140 a clear, straight, paved road.
00:20:56.440 And you're telling me that the Russians can't get food and gas in there?
00:20:59.140 Again, there's no attack on the convoy.
00:21:04.100 The weather's good enough.
00:21:06.560 It's not great, but it's good enough.
00:21:08.560 It's a paved road.
00:21:10.560 And they can't get provisions in?
00:21:13.920 Does that sound real?
00:21:15.120 That doesn't sound real, does it?
00:21:20.240 It could be that they're just taking their time
00:21:23.200 because there's negotiations going on
00:21:25.040 and they're just part of the negotiation
00:21:26.580 because they don't want to flatten or siege a city.
00:21:31.060 Imagine what would happen to the Russian economy
00:21:33.880 if they lay siege to Kiev.
00:21:35.980 Think about it.
00:21:39.260 Think about...
00:21:40.980 Yeah, think about the daily stories coming out
00:21:48.560 of potentially starvation inside of Kiev.
00:21:53.700 How many days of watching Kiev literally starve to death?
00:21:59.540 How many days like that would we go by
00:22:01.680 before Europe and the rest of the country,
00:22:03.960 maybe even China, just says,
00:22:06.540 look, Russia, we're going to turn off your lights now.
00:22:10.300 Like, seriously?
00:22:12.020 We're just going to turn off your lights.
00:22:14.740 So I don't think...
00:22:15.480 Here's the things I think that Putin can't do.
00:22:17.560 He's sort of in a trap.
00:22:19.040 I don't think he can crush Kiev.
00:22:21.820 I don't think he can hold the country
00:22:23.440 with just an occupation.
00:22:26.480 I don't think it's going to work to put in a puppet.
00:22:30.340 I think only negotiating works at this point.
00:22:33.000 And I don't know that the Ukrainians
00:22:36.040 are going to agree to anything.
00:22:40.220 Scott, is deep state talking points
00:22:42.260 match all they want to say?
00:22:45.440 Well, Sabong...
00:22:47.000 Sabong, let me talk to you.
00:22:49.780 Sabong here on the comments on YouTube
00:22:51.780 says that I have deep state talking points.
00:22:55.020 Well, Sabong...
00:22:58.060 Let me say something about you
00:23:03.580 since you've said something about me.
00:23:10.040 I would say that
00:23:11.380 maybe you're a good mind reader,
00:23:14.460 but you're not.
00:23:16.140 You're not.
00:23:16.740 Could it be
00:23:18.440 that this is a story
00:23:20.760 that is not
00:23:21.520 simple?
00:23:23.800 Like your
00:23:24.480 simple,
00:23:26.300 shiny,
00:23:27.000 smooth,
00:23:27.840 marble-like brain,
00:23:29.380 which is probably
00:23:30.540 rolling around in your skull right now,
00:23:33.720 thinking,
00:23:34.340 what the hell is going on?
00:23:35.780 I don't know what's going on now.
00:23:37.200 I thought I could just insult this guy,
00:23:39.280 and he wouldn't even notice.
00:23:41.240 But I did notice.
00:23:42.200 And so,
00:23:44.140 let me tell you,
00:23:45.420 if the depth
00:23:46.340 of your political analysis
00:23:47.960 is that in a complicated story,
00:23:51.660 I sometimes agree
00:23:52.940 with other people,
00:23:54.740 you
00:23:55.040 are a fucking idiot.
00:23:58.240 Now,
00:23:59.560 fucking idiots
00:24:00.340 are invited
00:24:01.180 to be on
00:24:01.780 the show.
00:24:03.080 I invite everybody.
00:24:04.120 It's a free country.
00:24:06.340 But,
00:24:07.000 just some advice.
00:24:09.460 If somebody,
00:24:10.820 and I'm guessing,
00:24:11.640 I'm just going to take a guess here,
00:24:13.680 Sabang,
00:24:14.540 I'm probably not the first person
00:24:16.960 who told you
00:24:17.460 you're a fucking idiot,
00:24:18.500 am I?
00:24:19.440 Am I?
00:24:20.500 I mean,
00:24:20.820 I feel like,
00:24:21.380 I feel like maybe your friends
00:24:22.500 have mentioned that a few times.
00:24:23.980 Because you've got that
00:24:24.920 fucking idiot vibe.
00:24:26.880 You know,
00:24:27.100 fucking idiot energy.
00:24:28.600 You know what I mean?
00:24:29.520 You know what I mean?
00:24:30.940 So,
00:24:31.660 yes,
00:24:32.580 Sabang,
00:24:33.280 I will sometimes agree
00:24:35.040 with other people.
00:24:36.700 You know what,
00:24:37.780 Sabang?
00:24:38.560 Do you drink water?
00:24:40.480 Sometimes?
00:24:41.640 Because Hitler did.
00:24:43.580 Hitler did.
00:24:44.940 Oh,
00:24:45.340 so you're just a
00:24:45.980 Hitler copycat,
00:24:47.160 Sabang?
00:24:48.140 Drinking water all the time?
00:24:49.660 Just like Hitler?
00:24:50.840 Boo.
00:24:52.520 I do like to,
00:24:54.920 yeah,
00:24:56.620 quit hitting the Sabang,
00:24:57.980 Sabang.
00:24:58.980 All right,
00:24:59.400 enough on you.
00:25:00.000 You're not important.
00:25:03.220 So,
00:25:03.760 Putin's trapped.
00:25:04.460 He can't really hold the city.
00:25:05.680 He can't siege it
00:25:06.460 and starve it.
00:25:07.120 He can't crush it.
00:25:07.980 What's he going to do?
00:25:10.040 I think he has to negotiate.
00:25:13.140 Now,
00:25:14.180 here's a situation
00:25:15.960 where I wonder
00:25:16.720 how Machiavellian
00:25:18.540 are
00:25:20.040 the United States
00:25:21.800 people
00:25:23.040 who are in charge
00:25:23.740 of stuff.
00:25:25.280 And let me ask you this.
00:25:27.400 Don't you think
00:25:28.160 that our smartest people
00:25:29.460 in our government
00:25:30.200 and our military geniuses,
00:25:32.540 don't we know
00:25:33.360 that the worst possible thing
00:25:34.740 Putin could do
00:25:35.420 is keep attacking Ukraine?
00:25:36.840 It's the worst thing
00:25:38.160 he could do for Russia.
00:25:40.180 Don't you think
00:25:40.840 maybe on some level
00:25:43.200 we didn't exactly
00:25:45.180 trick him into doing it?
00:25:48.860 But didn't we let this happen?
00:25:50.480 Am I wrong?
00:25:53.180 I feel like we tricked him
00:25:55.300 into attacking his own country.
00:26:00.600 Putin says that Ukraine is Russia.
00:26:02.720 We tricked Putin
00:26:05.660 into attacking his own country
00:26:07.940 and destroying it.
00:26:11.080 It looks like he's going to destroy Russia
00:26:13.120 and Ukraine at the same time,
00:26:14.720 which is all the same country.
00:26:16.940 So,
00:26:17.900 again,
00:26:18.700 I ask the question,
00:26:20.620 are the U.S.
00:26:22.320 and maybe European
00:26:23.220 military
00:26:24.700 and political minds,
00:26:27.140 are they so Machiavellian
00:26:28.680 that they know
00:26:29.780 that they knew
00:26:30.460 that by supporting Ukraine
00:26:32.020 going into NATO,
00:26:33.640 they could cause Russia
00:26:35.180 to start a war with itself?
00:26:39.040 They might even nuke themselves.
00:26:43.000 Think about it.
00:26:44.560 I mean,
00:26:44.800 if they used a nuke,
00:26:45.780 it could probably be in Ukraine,
00:26:47.600 right?
00:26:48.400 I mean,
00:26:48.760 if they were losing the war.
00:26:49.960 I suppose they could threaten
00:26:51.140 other NATO countries
00:26:52.140 with their nukes.
00:26:52.740 But I think we tricked Russia
00:26:55.620 into nuking itself.
00:26:57.640 And that's not even a joke.
00:26:59.220 That's literally what's happening.
00:27:01.500 I think we tricked Russia
00:27:04.020 into nuking itself.
00:27:05.720 We definitely tricked Russia
00:27:07.600 into giving up
00:27:08.820 its future control of energy.
00:27:13.060 At the moment,
00:27:14.140 they still are selling a lot.
00:27:16.080 But I think we tricked them
00:27:17.220 into destroying their entire economy.
00:27:20.600 Or was it a trick?
00:27:21.860 Did we blunder into this
00:27:23.720 by luck?
00:27:24.860 Or bad luck?
00:27:25.940 I don't know.
00:27:26.260 Because we don't know
00:27:26.800 how it's going to work out.
00:27:28.420 But, you know,
00:27:29.840 we have all these Russian spies.
00:27:32.440 You know,
00:27:32.760 our CIA has a lot
00:27:34.040 of Russian experts,
00:27:35.120 probably too many of them.
00:27:36.840 So they focus on Russia too much.
00:27:39.280 I just have a feeling
00:27:40.600 this might have been a trap.
00:27:44.040 I have a second feeling
00:27:45.460 that that Russian convoy
00:27:49.180 probably has resupply
00:27:51.780 issues.
00:27:52.280 I don't think it's as bad
00:27:53.680 as reported, probably.
00:27:55.740 But let me ask you this.
00:27:58.640 If you had this 40-mile convoy
00:28:00.900 and you take out
00:28:03.440 their fuel trucks,
00:28:05.240 that would be bad.
00:28:07.860 But the other thing
00:28:08.880 you have to do,
00:28:09.580 that you could do,
00:28:11.020 you could take out
00:28:12.020 no fuel trucks,
00:28:13.860 let them drive
00:28:14.700 until the fuel trucks
00:28:15.740 that they have are empty,
00:28:16.840 and then what are they
00:28:18.520 going to have to do?
00:28:20.200 They're going to have
00:28:20.800 to send another fuel truck.
00:28:23.040 But the next fuel truck
00:28:24.280 will not be hidden
00:28:25.380 in a 40-mile convoy.
00:28:27.700 The next fuel truck
00:28:28.900 will be, you know,
00:28:29.760 maybe with some,
00:28:30.500 some, you know,
00:28:32.280 armed vehicles around it.
00:28:34.740 But it's going to be
00:28:35.600 a small unit
00:28:36.440 that will be obviously
00:28:39.000 full of gas.
00:28:40.220 Do you think the Ukrainians
00:28:43.100 have some facility
00:28:44.200 in taking out
00:28:45.520 small units of Russians?
00:28:49.300 Apparently, they do.
00:28:51.120 Apparently, if it's
00:28:51.980 a small group of Russians,
00:28:54.260 as you would imagine
00:28:55.620 guarding a truck full of fuel,
00:28:59.200 it would be a smallish group.
00:29:02.460 Ukraine can take them
00:29:03.580 out all day long.
00:29:05.020 They just fly their drone
00:29:06.100 over there,
00:29:06.800 wait for the truck,
00:29:07.960 bam.
00:29:08.700 And they don't even have
00:29:09.600 to shoo all of the trucks
00:29:10.740 in the convoy.
00:29:11.860 Just take out the fuel truck
00:29:13.340 and the fuel truck
00:29:13.980 takes out all the rest.
00:29:16.240 So, could it be
00:29:18.340 that the Ukrainians
00:29:19.660 are so smart
00:29:20.540 that they said
00:29:21.800 the smartest thing
00:29:22.540 we could do
00:29:22.980 is let this entire convoy
00:29:24.540 get into the country?
00:29:26.500 Let their fuel,
00:29:27.580 let their supply line stretch.
00:29:29.300 By the way,
00:29:30.940 who is the first military
00:29:32.260 genius who told you
00:29:34.560 they might be
00:29:35.920 intentionally stretching
00:29:36.940 the Russian supply lines?
00:29:38.900 Me.
00:29:39.600 I still don't know
00:29:40.360 that's true,
00:29:41.020 but in case it is,
00:29:42.280 I want to put it out there.
00:29:44.040 It could be that
00:29:44.960 the Ukrainians
00:29:45.980 are so smart,
00:29:46.940 they knew that
00:29:47.520 all they had to do
00:29:48.160 is pick off
00:29:48.800 the supply chains
00:29:50.180 coming in
00:29:50.760 and they don't even
00:29:51.700 have to touch
00:29:52.280 the rest.
00:29:54.420 Now, you say to yourself,
00:29:55.380 yes, Scott,
00:29:56.720 but they're still
00:29:57.640 going to have
00:29:58.060 so many military assets
00:30:00.840 right next to Kiev
00:30:02.800 that they don't even
00:30:04.380 need gas,
00:30:05.520 basically.
00:30:06.020 They can just sit there
00:30:06.820 and shoot
00:30:07.220 and just put the army
00:30:09.140 and flood the zone.
00:30:10.200 Have you seen
00:30:11.780 what the Ukrainians
00:30:12.600 are doing
00:30:12.940 to their own streets?
00:30:14.920 They have a barricade
00:30:16.220 on every street.
00:30:18.340 The Russian army
00:30:19.580 would have to stop
00:30:20.600 to clear a barricade
00:30:22.300 in an area
00:30:23.580 that's the biggest
00:30:24.300 kill zone
00:30:24.940 anybody ever invented,
00:30:26.340 which is high-rise buildings
00:30:28.120 filled with people
00:30:29.640 who are armed
00:30:30.360 to the teeth
00:30:30.940 with Molotov cocktails
00:30:33.200 and guns
00:30:33.860 that were handed out,
00:30:34.920 you know, AKs.
00:30:36.800 And they're going
00:30:37.560 to have to pause
00:30:38.360 to clear every obstacle.
00:30:41.220 I don't know
00:30:42.020 that that city
00:30:42.600 can be taken.
00:30:44.480 It can be starved,
00:30:45.880 so that might happen.
00:30:49.800 What is Putin's objective?
00:30:52.420 Well, there are two versions
00:30:53.660 of Putin's objective.
00:30:54.720 Somebody's asking me here.
00:30:57.520 Scott is a clown.
00:30:59.540 Sonia.
00:31:01.020 Sonia.
00:31:01.460 Do you know
00:31:02.600 when men
00:31:04.500 say in all caps
00:31:06.460 something like you said,
00:31:08.200 Scott is a clown?
00:31:09.440 When men say that,
00:31:10.620 do you know
00:31:10.800 what I call them?
00:31:13.240 I might call them a dick.
00:31:15.900 I might call them an asshole.
00:31:17.900 Bastard sometimes.
00:31:18.820 Those are sort of names
00:31:19.580 that people typically
00:31:20.660 use for men.
00:31:22.040 When women say
00:31:23.120 things like that,
00:31:24.880 I sometimes use
00:31:26.380 a different word,
00:31:27.600 which I get demonetized for.
00:31:29.280 So I'm just going
00:31:33.620 to say you're
00:31:34.020 a control freak.
00:31:36.860 That's all.
00:31:38.260 You're just
00:31:38.740 a control freak.
00:31:41.860 A stupid
00:31:43.700 control freak.
00:31:47.500 That's all I'm going
00:31:48.280 to say about that.
00:31:48.760 So
00:31:51.720 I'm always impressed
00:31:55.020 by Russia's
00:31:56.120 long game.
00:31:57.400 Apparently,
00:31:57.880 they planned
00:31:58.700 things for decades.
00:32:01.080 They planned
00:32:01.820 things for decades,
00:32:02.640 and one of the things
00:32:03.760 that they apparently
00:32:04.460 succeeded at
00:32:05.400 was persuading
00:32:07.520 the West,
00:32:08.900 or the United States
00:32:09.780 especially,
00:32:10.380 not to use
00:32:11.080 nuclear energy.
00:32:13.820 And they also
00:32:14.320 persuaded Germany
00:32:15.100 not to use
00:32:15.720 as much nuclear energy.
00:32:16.960 so that Russia
00:32:18.440 could control them
00:32:19.660 by selling them
00:32:20.600 energy and make
00:32:21.780 a lot of money.
00:32:24.300 So
00:32:24.940 do you believe
00:32:26.360 that?
00:32:26.800 First of all,
00:32:27.340 do you believe
00:32:27.760 that the reason
00:32:28.580 that nuclear energy
00:32:30.460 was demonized
00:32:31.340 in this country
00:32:32.020 is not because
00:32:33.320 our left-leaning
00:32:34.420 people were
00:32:35.960 concerned about it,
00:32:37.040 not because
00:32:37.740 they had looked
00:32:39.460 into it,
00:32:40.100 but entirely
00:32:41.040 because of
00:32:41.760 Russian persuasion?
00:32:44.260 The evidence
00:32:45.340 is mounting
00:32:45.900 that the entire
00:32:47.720 Russian opinion
00:32:48.760 about nuclear
00:32:51.720 in this country
00:32:52.400 was driven
00:32:52.900 by Russian
00:32:53.460 propaganda
00:32:53.860 for years.
00:32:55.720 That's like
00:32:56.240 actually probable.
00:32:57.720 I mean,
00:32:58.100 you have to doubt
00:32:59.140 every story
00:32:59.720 at this point,
00:33:00.500 but the evidence
00:33:01.380 suggests it.
00:33:03.060 Now,
00:33:04.360 what do you do
00:33:05.440 if Russian
00:33:06.220 propaganda
00:33:07.180 is destroying
00:33:09.980 your country
00:33:10.960 by making you
00:33:12.020 do the wrong
00:33:12.680 things?
00:33:13.060 Well,
00:33:14.360 a very interesting
00:33:15.160 thing happened
00:33:15.760 in this country,
00:33:16.560 didn't it?
00:33:18.300 We've talked
00:33:19.020 about how
00:33:19.420 the opinion
00:33:19.940 about nuclear
00:33:20.820 energy,
00:33:21.380 even before
00:33:22.020 the Ukraine
00:33:22.660 situation,
00:33:23.660 the opinion
00:33:24.120 about nuclear
00:33:24.780 energy was
00:33:25.540 negative,
00:33:26.460 negative,
00:33:26.820 negative,
00:33:27.200 negative,
00:33:27.600 negative,
00:33:28.060 boom,
00:33:28.680 positive.
00:33:30.300 And it happened
00:33:31.120 all in about
00:33:31.780 one or two years,
00:33:33.760 it seems like.
00:33:34.620 Like it just
00:33:35.200 ramped and went
00:33:36.160 up.
00:33:37.100 Why'd that
00:33:37.660 happen?
00:33:39.280 Do you know
00:33:39.700 why?
00:33:39.960 I think
00:33:43.100 it's persuasion.
00:33:44.340 I think that
00:33:45.080 there were
00:33:45.480 people in
00:33:46.020 the United
00:33:46.380 States,
00:33:47.420 Michael
00:33:47.680 Schellenberg,
00:33:49.440 right?
00:33:50.180 And,
00:33:51.100 you know,
00:33:55.380 so I think
00:33:56.160 that people
00:33:56.480 like that,
00:33:57.480 and Mark
00:33:58.000 Schneider,
00:33:58.800 of course,
00:34:00.000 I think
00:34:01.640 that they,
00:34:02.420 they influenced
00:34:03.960 me,
00:34:05.220 and I used
00:34:05.820 my powers
00:34:06.500 of influence
00:34:07.040 to spread
00:34:08.120 their message
00:34:08.640 as much
00:34:09.020 as possible,
00:34:09.960 and I
00:34:10.320 think that
00:34:10.700 between
00:34:11.080 the knowledge
00:34:13.300 that they
00:34:13.820 had,
00:34:15.020 and then,
00:34:16.280 if I may
00:34:17.240 say modestly,
00:34:18.800 I feel like
00:34:19.580 I've trained
00:34:20.200 an army
00:34:20.800 of persuaders.
00:34:24.220 Would you
00:34:24.880 say that's
00:34:25.300 true?
00:34:26.760 So give me
00:34:27.740 an ego
00:34:28.680 check here
00:34:29.260 in case I'm
00:34:29.760 over-claiming.
00:34:31.100 I feel like
00:34:32.000 by doing this
00:34:32.700 show for the
00:34:33.180 last several
00:34:33.600 years,
00:34:34.040 I've trained
00:34:34.520 people to
00:34:35.220 recognize
00:34:36.260 propaganda
00:34:36.840 better,
00:34:38.400 recognize
00:34:39.200 fake news
00:34:39.700 better,
00:34:40.320 but also
00:34:41.000 to persuade
00:34:41.660 better.
00:34:42.800 And I
00:34:43.040 think that
00:34:43.480 the sort
00:34:44.660 of collective
00:34:45.300 energy from
00:34:46.240 that may
00:34:48.380 have made
00:34:48.680 a difference.
00:34:49.740 You know,
00:34:49.940 maybe,
00:34:50.560 maybe Russia
00:34:52.180 propaganda for
00:34:53.360 20 years
00:34:53.900 got broken
00:34:54.580 just by
00:34:56.200 some citizens
00:34:57.840 who could see
00:34:59.480 past it
00:35:00.080 and could
00:35:00.740 penetrate it.
00:35:02.000 Now,
00:35:02.260 I'm not saying
00:35:02.620 like,
00:35:02.940 you know,
00:35:03.240 three people
00:35:04.180 I mentioned
00:35:04.660 did it all.
00:35:06.640 But they
00:35:06.960 did a lot.
00:35:08.400 They did a lot.
00:35:09.580 I think it
00:35:10.280 could have been
00:35:10.620 the difference.
00:35:11.760 It could have
00:35:12.180 easily been
00:35:12.680 the difference.
00:35:13.440 Because remember,
00:35:14.020 these are people
00:35:14.600 whose influence
00:35:16.080 reached all the
00:35:16.700 way to Congress.
00:35:18.140 Right?
00:35:18.400 I mean,
00:35:18.720 they literally
00:35:19.580 talked to Congress,
00:35:21.260 Michael Schellenberger
00:35:21.920 in particular.
00:35:23.820 So,
00:35:24.520 I think they
00:35:26.080 made a difference.
00:35:27.780 So when you're
00:35:28.400 looking at the
00:35:28.940 military,
00:35:30.920 you're looking
00:35:31.340 at national
00:35:31.960 defense,
00:35:33.020 we always
00:35:33.800 make the
00:35:34.220 mistake of
00:35:35.200 ignoring economics
00:35:36.400 and now
00:35:37.280 energy.
00:35:38.600 We should have
00:35:39.480 always been
00:35:39.980 thinking that
00:35:40.780 our economy
00:35:41.420 and our energy
00:35:42.280 production are
00:35:43.020 just part of
00:35:44.420 the defense
00:35:44.880 program.
00:35:45.920 And I would
00:35:46.620 argue that
00:35:47.220 space needs
00:35:49.260 to be in that
00:35:49.800 category, too.
00:35:51.500 All of our
00:35:52.260 space stuff is
00:35:53.240 really national
00:35:53.920 defense in
00:35:54.760 disguise.
00:35:55.460 That's all it
00:35:55.920 is.
00:35:56.720 So I think if
00:35:57.560 we were clear-eyed,
00:35:59.260 we would have
00:35:59.780 known from the
00:36:00.380 beginning that
00:36:00.920 nuclear energy
00:36:01.900 had some
00:36:02.460 risks.
00:36:03.200 Everything
00:36:03.480 does.
00:36:04.520 But the
00:36:04.840 new versions,
00:36:06.940 the third
00:36:12.420 version of
00:36:13.160 the nuclear
00:36:14.480 plants that we
00:36:15.340 build now,
00:36:16.220 none of them
00:36:16.740 have ever
00:36:17.100 melted down.
00:36:19.020 Modern
00:36:19.500 technology,
00:36:20.240 even before
00:36:20.700 generation four,
00:36:21.520 generation three,
00:36:23.280 the one that
00:36:23.860 would currently
00:36:24.520 be built,
00:36:25.480 there's a little
00:36:26.000 generation four
00:36:26.720 going on,
00:36:27.680 but even
00:36:28.160 generation three
00:36:28.900 has literally
00:36:29.400 had no
00:36:29.840 meltdowns.
00:36:30.920 They just
00:36:32.020 work.
00:36:33.640 Now, there
00:36:34.000 is some
00:36:34.260 risk that
00:36:35.440 they might,
00:36:36.820 but even
00:36:37.240 generation four
00:36:37.900 will take care
00:36:38.360 of that.
00:36:41.440 All right,
00:36:41.700 energy has
00:36:42.200 always been
00:36:42.540 part of
00:36:42.860 national security,
00:36:43.780 but I think
00:36:44.540 maybe the
00:36:46.020 Ukraine situation
00:36:46.940 takes it to
00:36:48.140 another level.
00:36:49.120 I would agree
00:36:50.060 with you that
00:36:50.520 it's always been
00:36:51.120 in the
00:36:51.600 conversation,
00:36:52.260 but a weak
00:36:52.860 part of the
00:36:53.260 conversation.
00:36:55.700 Does Scott
00:36:56.600 cover for the
00:36:57.480 WEF by
00:36:58.580 attacking anyone
00:36:59.420 who brings
00:36:59.900 it up?
00:37:01.660 Well,
00:37:02.220 Kevin,
00:37:03.340 in all
00:37:04.320 caps,
00:37:06.060 I don't
00:37:08.020 even know
00:37:08.200 what you're
00:37:08.400 talking about.
00:37:10.900 I can't
00:37:11.560 even insult
00:37:12.000 you.
00:37:13.880 Yeah,
00:37:14.300 the WEF
00:37:15.140 wants to
00:37:15.760 have control
00:37:16.260 over our
00:37:16.720 lives.
00:37:17.140 I get
00:37:17.360 that.
00:37:21.700 So,
00:37:22.560 here's what
00:37:23.780 I think is
00:37:24.420 going to happen.
00:37:25.000 In the next
00:37:25.320 two or three
00:37:25.820 days,
00:37:26.200 if Ukraine
00:37:26.780 can hold
00:37:27.320 out,
00:37:28.100 I think
00:37:28.700 we'll have
00:37:29.060 an answer
00:37:29.500 to the
00:37:29.860 question of
00:37:31.500 whether
00:37:32.500 Kiev will
00:37:33.960 starve before
00:37:35.080 the Russian
00:37:35.600 army starves.
00:37:38.520 Now,
00:37:39.060 of course,
00:37:39.420 both of them
00:37:39.940 have the
00:37:40.360 advantage that
00:37:40.980 they could
00:37:41.280 get supplies
00:37:42.360 by air,
00:37:43.600 right?
00:37:44.260 But neither
00:37:45.060 have air
00:37:45.700 superiority,
00:37:46.880 we're told.
00:37:48.380 Could the
00:37:49.000 Ukrainians
00:37:49.640 shoot into
00:37:50.120 the air
00:37:50.520 any,
00:37:51.180 let's say,
00:37:53.100 any airplanes
00:37:54.720 that were
00:37:54.980 trying to
00:37:55.400 deliver food
00:37:56.480 to the
00:37:56.860 army of
00:37:57.540 Russia?
00:37:58.500 You know,
00:37:58.700 the air
00:37:59.040 lifting food?
00:38:00.900 Do you
00:38:01.160 think the
00:38:01.440 Ukrainians
00:38:01.940 could shoot
00:38:02.420 those few
00:38:03.280 transport things,
00:38:05.340 what would
00:38:05.560 you call
00:38:05.840 them,
00:38:06.060 cargo planes?
00:38:07.660 How hard
00:38:08.200 is it to
00:38:08.620 shoot a
00:38:08.960 cargo plane
00:38:09.680 out of
00:38:09.920 the sky?
00:38:11.580 Is it
00:38:12.100 easy?
00:38:13.380 I don't
00:38:13.840 know.
00:38:14.140 I mean,
00:38:14.340 it would
00:38:14.540 have probably
00:38:15.160 a fleet
00:38:15.600 of other
00:38:15.980 planes
00:38:16.280 protecting it
00:38:16.980 and stuff.
00:38:18.400 Somebody
00:38:18.760 says it's
00:38:19.140 not easy.
00:38:20.320 I don't
00:38:20.560 know.
00:38:21.320 Because they
00:38:21.800 would be
00:38:22.020 higher up
00:38:22.560 until they
00:38:23.040 drop their
00:38:23.460 cargo.
00:38:23.860 Is that
00:38:24.040 why?
00:38:25.180 I don't
00:38:25.680 really know.
00:38:26.160 It depends
00:38:26.500 on height,
00:38:27.000 somebody says.
00:38:28.700 So I'm
00:38:29.400 not so
00:38:29.840 sure that
00:38:30.740 Russia can
00:38:31.440 do an
00:38:31.840 airdrop of
00:38:32.660 supplies,
00:38:33.560 at least
00:38:33.900 conveniently,
00:38:34.840 or well
00:38:35.460 enough to
00:38:35.800 make a
00:38:36.060 difference.
00:38:36.880 And I
00:38:37.380 don't know
00:38:37.640 that we
00:38:37.960 could get
00:38:38.300 food into
00:38:38.820 Kiev either.
00:38:41.200 So who's
00:38:41.940 going to,
00:38:42.380 I hate to
00:38:42.920 say it,
00:38:43.240 but this
00:38:43.840 is going
00:38:44.120 to be a
00:38:44.700 question of
00:38:45.120 who starves
00:38:45.680 to death,
00:38:46.120 isn't it?
00:38:47.360 And who
00:38:47.700 freezes.
00:38:49.860 Am I
00:38:50.420 right?
00:38:50.740 that the
00:38:52.400 war is
00:38:52.900 down to
00:38:53.300 who starves
00:38:53.840 to death?
00:38:55.240 Because I
00:38:55.820 think it
00:38:56.140 is.
00:38:57.040 So let
00:38:57.640 me make
00:38:58.400 this my
00:38:58.820 prediction,
00:38:59.660 that this
00:39:00.440 will be a
00:39:01.340 supply chain
00:39:02.600 war in
00:39:03.260 the end,
00:39:04.640 that whichever
00:39:05.600 side has
00:39:06.220 the better
00:39:06.520 supply chain,
00:39:08.720 ironically,
00:39:09.840 the better
00:39:10.440 supply chain
00:39:11.120 is going to
00:39:11.480 be the one
00:39:11.800 that doesn't
00:39:12.220 starve,
00:39:12.660 and they're
00:39:12.860 the ones
00:39:13.120 who are
00:39:13.300 going to
00:39:13.440 wait it
00:39:13.720 out longer.
00:39:14.180 But I
00:39:15.180 think in the
00:39:15.580 meantime,
00:39:16.020 there will
00:39:16.160 probably be
00:39:16.520 some negotiated
00:39:17.160 settlement,
00:39:17.960 I would
00:39:18.240 guess.
00:39:18.520 or somebody
00:39:21.220 will take
00:39:21.700 out Putin
00:39:22.120 in their
00:39:22.420 own country.
00:39:24.060 I would
00:39:24.980 be surprised
00:39:25.660 if there's
00:39:26.880 actually that
00:39:27.480 much pushback
00:39:28.220 within Putin's
00:39:29.540 inner circle,
00:39:30.500 or even
00:39:30.780 the,
00:39:32.060 or even
00:39:32.440 within the
00:39:33.280 I would say
00:39:34.240 that the
00:39:35.720 billionaires are
00:39:36.360 probably pretty
00:39:36.920 mad,
00:39:37.580 because this
00:39:37.980 is costing
00:39:38.480 them serious
00:39:39.000 money.
00:39:40.740 It would
00:39:41.340 be real
00:39:41.660 interesting to
00:39:42.300 see if any
00:39:42.820 of the
00:39:43.080 oligarchs go
00:39:43.900 bankrupt.
00:39:45.460 I don't
00:39:46.000 even know if
00:39:46.300 that's possible.
00:39:46.920 But imagine
00:39:48.460 if one
00:39:49.040 prominent
00:39:49.720 oligarch
00:39:50.320 literally just
00:39:51.280 went bankrupt,
00:39:52.680 lost everything.
00:39:54.700 That would
00:39:55.320 get their
00:39:55.640 attention,
00:39:56.140 wouldn't it?
00:39:57.040 I don't
00:39:57.400 think we're
00:39:57.740 close to
00:39:58.160 that,
00:39:58.460 but maybe.
00:40:02.160 So there
00:40:02.880 is a weird,
00:40:03.800 ironic,
00:40:04.460 if that's the
00:40:05.020 right word,
00:40:05.440 it probably
00:40:05.720 isn't,
00:40:06.380 possibility
00:40:07.040 that Russia
00:40:08.900 will lose
00:40:09.440 the war
00:40:09.860 because of
00:40:10.780 a lack
00:40:12.760 of gas
00:40:13.600 that could
00:40:16.540 actually
00:40:16.840 happen.
00:40:18.200 Russia could
00:40:18.740 lose the
00:40:19.260 war because
00:40:20.820 of a lack
00:40:21.500 of gas.
00:40:23.960 That's a
00:40:24.600 real thing.
00:40:26.700 You know,
00:40:26.940 their entire
00:40:28.020 advantage was
00:40:29.000 that they had
00:40:29.500 fuel that
00:40:30.360 they're the
00:40:30.880 main source
00:40:31.900 to Europe.
00:40:33.280 But it's
00:40:34.000 possible they
00:40:35.360 will lose
00:40:35.900 the war
00:40:36.320 because they
00:40:36.640 don't have
00:40:36.940 enough gas.
00:40:40.100 That would
00:40:40.720 be the
00:40:41.140 sort of
00:40:41.700 perfect movie
00:40:42.300 ending,
00:40:42.700 I guess.
00:40:43.600 I guess
00:40:47.060 we've got
00:40:47.280 to talk
00:40:47.540 about the
00:40:47.860 State of
00:40:48.140 the Union
00:40:48.500 that did
00:40:49.460 any of
00:40:49.920 you watch
00:40:50.400 it?
00:40:50.960 I asked
00:40:51.300 on Locals
00:40:51.840 and almost
00:40:52.400 nobody did.
00:40:54.380 All right,
00:40:54.760 so on
00:40:55.120 YouTube
00:40:56.100 and Locals,
00:40:58.320 did anybody
00:40:58.940 watch the
00:40:59.900 Biden speech?
00:41:02.460 Okay,
00:41:02.760 we've got a
00:41:03.080 few yeses.
00:41:04.380 All right.
00:41:05.580 Well,
00:41:05.940 here are the
00:41:06.300 highlights,
00:41:06.860 according to
00:41:07.960 other people.
00:41:10.080 Of course,
00:41:10.740 all the
00:41:11.100 Biden-friendly
00:41:11.940 people like
00:41:12.720 Jake Tapper,
00:41:13.600 and Van
00:41:15.340 Jones
00:41:15.840 were saying
00:41:17.240 things like
00:41:17.860 Jake said
00:41:18.840 it was
00:41:19.100 very solid
00:41:19.720 and Van
00:41:20.700 Jones
00:41:21.060 declared
00:41:21.540 Uncle Joe
00:41:22.140 is back
00:41:22.700 and it
00:41:23.920 was him
00:41:24.240 quote,
00:41:24.720 at his
00:41:25.060 best.
00:41:27.660 How many
00:41:28.480 of you
00:41:28.900 felt that
00:41:30.220 it was
00:41:30.800 Biden
00:41:31.220 at his
00:41:31.780 best?
00:41:33.860 Is
00:41:34.420 Uncle Joe
00:41:34.940 back?
00:41:35.980 Did you get
00:41:36.460 that feeling?
00:41:38.500 No?
00:41:39.060 All right.
00:41:43.200 So,
00:41:44.000 and I
00:41:46.640 guess
00:41:46.960 Jennifer
00:41:47.320 Rubin,
00:41:47.860 who of
00:41:48.100 course is
00:41:48.540 just a
00:41:49.380 pro-Democrat,
00:41:50.780 she said
00:41:51.740 Biden
00:41:52.000 delivered,
00:41:53.140 claiming his
00:41:53.640 speech was
00:41:54.040 more bipartisan
00:41:54.900 than one
00:41:55.520 could have
00:41:55.860 imagined.
00:41:56.660 How many
00:41:57.120 of you
00:41:57.340 thought it
00:41:57.640 was bipartisan?
00:41:58.220 Did anybody
00:42:00.100 hear that and
00:42:00.800 say,
00:42:01.000 you know,
00:42:01.160 that's more
00:42:01.520 bipartisan than
00:42:02.400 I imagined?
00:42:02.900 Not so
00:42:05.020 much.
00:42:08.300 Late show
00:42:09.220 host Stephen
00:42:10.880 Colbert
00:42:11.460 described it
00:42:13.100 as,
00:42:13.480 the State
00:42:14.080 Union speech
00:42:14.620 as,
00:42:15.240 a rollercoaster
00:42:16.180 ride of
00:42:16.940 rip-roaring
00:42:17.580 reasonableness.
00:42:19.840 Did it sound
00:42:20.700 like rip-roaring
00:42:21.480 reasonableness?
00:42:23.500 I don't know.
00:42:24.080 Actually,
00:42:24.520 that is one
00:42:25.540 thing that
00:42:26.100 Biden is
00:42:27.580 good at.
00:42:28.060 Biden is
00:42:28.560 good at
00:42:28.860 sounding
00:42:29.240 reasonable,
00:42:30.160 which is
00:42:30.560 different than
00:42:30.980 being effective.
00:42:32.160 But he's
00:42:32.520 actually good
00:42:33.020 at sounding
00:42:33.420 reasonable,
00:42:34.080 even when
00:42:34.460 he's not.
00:42:35.820 So apparently
00:42:36.580 he came out
00:42:37.300 in a full-throated
00:42:38.640 way to be
00:42:39.560 against defunding
00:42:40.720 the police.
00:42:41.720 That would
00:42:42.400 be bipartisan.
00:42:45.380 Well,
00:42:46.480 sort of
00:42:46.880 bipartisan.
00:42:47.420 His own
00:42:47.720 party doesn't
00:42:48.220 like it as
00:42:48.620 much.
00:42:49.820 But he
00:42:50.360 said it
00:42:50.640 clearly.
00:42:51.140 I'll give
00:42:51.420 him credit
00:42:51.720 for that.
00:42:53.680 He said
00:42:54.380 that inflation
00:42:54.860 is robbing
00:42:55.460 America.
00:42:56.080 Give him
00:42:56.380 credit for
00:42:56.780 that.
00:42:57.160 He didn't
00:42:57.500 use the
00:42:57.880 words build
00:42:58.340 back better
00:42:58.920 because apparently
00:43:01.000 he thinks he
00:43:01.900 might only get
00:43:02.420 some parts of
00:43:03.060 that now.
00:43:04.640 So I guess
00:43:05.400 that went
00:43:06.220 away,
00:43:06.720 partly.
00:43:08.500 And so I
00:43:12.060 guess he
00:43:12.380 announced that
00:43:12.960 we'll be
00:43:13.860 closing U.S.
00:43:14.640 airspace to
00:43:17.200 Russian planes.
00:43:18.580 How many
00:43:19.040 Russian planes
00:43:19.840 were in
00:43:20.640 American airspace
00:43:21.440 in the first
00:43:22.200 place?
00:43:23.300 It was only,
00:43:24.120 I assume it
00:43:24.780 was only
00:43:25.040 flights back
00:43:25.660 and forth to
00:43:26.180 America.
00:43:26.500 so I'm
00:43:30.000 not so
00:43:30.640 sure that
00:43:31.800 that makes
00:43:32.140 a big
00:43:32.460 difference.
00:43:32.780 How many
00:43:33.140 people were
00:43:33.600 traveling back
00:43:34.200 and forth to
00:43:34.780 Russia anyway?
00:43:36.420 But credit
00:43:37.860 card countries
00:43:38.600 and oil
00:43:39.060 companies are
00:43:39.660 pulling out
00:43:40.200 Apple.
00:43:40.800 Apple stopped
00:43:41.460 selling products.
00:43:42.660 Imagine having
00:43:43.280 an Apple phone
00:43:44.280 or Apple
00:43:45.380 products and
00:43:45.980 never being
00:43:46.380 able to get
00:43:46.800 a replacement
00:43:47.300 or a part.
00:43:50.080 That's really
00:43:50.760 going to make
00:43:51.100 the public
00:43:51.500 pretty mad.
00:43:52.040 So I
00:43:55.560 don't think
00:43:55.880 anybody knows
00:43:56.660 if the
00:43:58.180 sanctions are
00:43:58.720 going to be
00:43:58.960 enough.
00:44:00.400 But we've
00:44:01.100 never seen
00:44:01.600 this kind
00:44:02.080 of sanctions
00:44:02.540 have we?
00:44:03.820 I feel as
00:44:04.740 though as
00:44:05.200 long as
00:44:05.580 Putin is
00:44:06.040 in charge
00:44:06.600 the Ukrainian
00:44:08.180 persuasion
00:44:08.860 has just
00:44:09.540 destroyed Russia
00:44:10.560 because the
00:44:11.980 Ukrainians and
00:44:12.920 the U.S.
00:44:13.760 have made
00:44:14.220 Putin look
00:44:15.700 like such a
00:44:16.600 Hitler-like
00:44:17.280 character that
00:44:18.620 I don't know
00:44:19.120 that any big
00:44:19.680 country can go
00:44:20.380 back and do
00:44:20.840 business with
00:44:21.420 him ever
00:44:21.740 again.
00:44:22.940 If Apple is
00:44:24.000 waiting for
00:44:25.880 you know if
00:44:26.880 they're just
00:44:27.160 playing for
00:44:27.600 time and
00:44:29.140 they're thinking
00:44:29.580 oh when this
00:44:30.380 blows over and
00:44:31.380 we consolidate
00:44:32.020 control over
00:44:32.740 Ukraine everybody
00:44:34.380 still needs
00:44:34.960 energy so
00:44:35.740 they're going to
00:44:36.080 do business
00:44:36.540 with us again.
00:44:37.840 I don't think
00:44:38.840 so.
00:44:40.580 I think
00:44:41.280 Russia is
00:44:42.460 actually done
00:44:43.160 as an
00:44:44.940 economically
00:44:45.560 viable entity
00:44:46.680 as long as
00:44:47.840 Putin's there.
00:44:48.960 What do you
00:44:49.500 think?
00:44:49.740 now keep
00:44:52.240 in mind
00:44:52.640 that even
00:44:53.160 you know
00:44:53.900 the top
00:44:54.880 economists
00:44:55.440 don't really
00:44:56.160 know what's
00:44:56.540 going to
00:44:56.720 happen there.
00:44:57.380 It's not
00:44:57.740 knowable.
00:44:59.940 We had
00:45:00.920 similar sanctions
00:45:01.720 against Iran
00:45:02.640 but Iran
00:45:04.840 was already
00:45:05.640 a little bit
00:45:06.220 isolated.
00:45:06.940 It was a
00:45:07.180 different
00:45:07.400 situation.
00:45:07.940 Am I right?
00:45:09.880 I think
00:45:10.220 Russia has
00:45:10.780 way more
00:45:11.400 international
00:45:12.120 connections
00:45:12.820 that they
00:45:13.280 require.
00:45:13.780 might be
00:45:15.420 wrong about
00:45:15.800 that.
00:45:19.100 Are
00:45:19.660 economists
00:45:20.140 ever sure
00:45:20.600 about
00:45:20.800 anything?
00:45:21.220 No.
00:45:22.240 They're not.
00:45:24.360 Yeah we
00:45:25.080 will keep
00:45:25.540 buying oil
00:45:26.160 from them
00:45:26.600 apparently.
00:45:27.460 Now the
00:45:27.720 fact that
00:45:28.140 Biden did
00:45:28.960 not say
00:45:29.520 we were
00:45:29.860 going to
00:45:30.520 get our
00:45:32.480 domestic
00:45:33.120 energy
00:45:33.600 production
00:45:34.060 back online
00:45:34.840 that's like
00:45:37.320 not even
00:45:37.680 trying.
00:45:39.240 That is
00:45:40.000 so not
00:45:40.720 even
00:45:40.960 trying.
00:45:41.340 apparently
00:45:43.240 so there's
00:45:44.320 something
00:45:44.800 happening
00:45:45.200 interesting
00:45:45.800 with
00:45:46.280 Russian
00:45:47.720 oil.
00:45:48.980 Now the
00:45:49.480 price of
00:45:49.920 oil went
00:45:50.320 through the
00:45:50.640 roof and
00:45:52.020 so you
00:45:52.320 say to
00:45:52.580 yourself
00:45:52.900 wait that
00:45:54.180 just enriches
00:45:55.000 Russia
00:45:55.380 because the
00:45:56.680 more expensive
00:45:57.600 the oil is
00:45:58.380 the more
00:45:59.640 they make
00:46:00.240 to fund
00:46:01.640 their army.
00:46:03.280 But I
00:46:04.260 need a fact
00:46:04.780 check on
00:46:05.160 this because
00:46:05.560 I may have
00:46:06.060 read something
00:46:06.580 wrong but
00:46:07.820 it looked to
00:46:08.260 me like
00:46:08.700 nobody is
00:46:09.200 buying the
00:46:09.620 Russian oil
00:46:10.220 and that
00:46:11.300 the price
00:46:11.680 of Russian
00:46:12.380 crude
00:46:13.480 this is not
00:46:14.900 the gas
00:46:15.380 but just
00:46:15.720 the oil
00:46:16.020 the price
00:46:17.120 of Russian
00:46:17.580 crude is
00:46:18.240 actually just
00:46:19.620 falling off a
00:46:20.280 table because
00:46:22.080 nobody wants
00:46:22.740 to take the
00:46:23.160 risk of
00:46:23.540 transporting it.
00:46:25.200 Do you think
00:46:25.580 that's true?
00:46:27.540 I feel like
00:46:28.620 there's so much
00:46:29.400 hunger for oil
00:46:30.300 that they're
00:46:31.360 going to find
00:46:31.800 a place to
00:46:32.360 sell it to.
00:46:34.600 But at the
00:46:35.360 moment whether
00:46:37.040 or not they
00:46:37.500 find a place
00:46:38.080 to sell it
00:46:38.620 at the
00:46:39.360 moment the
00:46:39.820 risk profile
00:46:40.600 is so high
00:46:41.300 that they
00:46:42.960 can't seem
00:46:43.420 to ship
00:46:43.820 it out at
00:46:44.340 a price
00:46:44.740 that people
00:46:45.180 are willing
00:46:45.500 to pay.
00:46:47.500 So they
00:46:48.400 actually are
00:46:48.860 losing money
00:46:49.500 on oil
00:46:50.480 compared to
00:46:51.020 where they
00:46:51.300 were.
00:46:51.520 They didn't
00:46:51.800 gain money
00:46:52.320 they're
00:46:52.560 losing oil.
00:46:53.720 I feel like
00:46:54.620 Russia's
00:46:55.120 economy
00:46:55.600 is
00:46:57.860 just right
00:46:59.460 on the
00:46:59.760 edge
00:47:00.120 and maybe
00:47:01.140 already
00:47:01.660 because again
00:47:03.380 we don't
00:47:03.760 know how
00:47:04.000 strong it
00:47:04.400 was in the
00:47:04.740 first place.
00:47:05.200 It wasn't
00:47:05.400 that's
00:47:05.680 wrong.
00:47:10.660 And like
00:47:11.260 I said
00:47:11.540 Biden said
00:47:12.200 that COVID
00:47:13.040 is not
00:47:13.500 controlling us
00:47:14.280 and get
00:47:15.000 back to
00:47:15.360 work and
00:47:15.760 he wants
00:47:16.340 you to
00:47:16.580 go back
00:47:17.000 and fill
00:47:18.060 out the
00:47:18.860 great
00:47:19.080 downtowns
00:47:19.740 again.
00:47:20.500 To which
00:47:20.880 I say
00:47:21.340 stop telling
00:47:23.220 us to do
00:47:23.740 that.
00:47:25.500 That's not
00:47:26.120 your job.
00:47:28.320 It's not
00:47:28.960 Biden's job
00:47:29.820 to tell me
00:47:30.260 if I should
00:47:30.720 commute or
00:47:31.320 work from
00:47:31.800 home.
00:47:33.000 That is way
00:47:33.780 over the
00:47:34.160 line.
00:47:34.480 How about
00:47:35.660 I will
00:47:36.580 decide where
00:47:37.220 I work
00:47:37.760 and you
00:47:38.960 will just
00:47:39.900 go do
00:47:40.420 whatever you
00:47:40.980 do in
00:47:41.700 your little
00:47:42.200 White House.
00:47:43.440 How about
00:47:43.820 you leave
00:47:44.220 me alone?
00:47:45.640 How about
00:47:45.960 that?
00:47:46.920 How about
00:47:47.340 after this
00:47:48.040 freaking
00:47:48.900 pandemic
00:47:49.520 how about
00:47:50.700 the public
00:47:51.240 doesn't
00:47:51.780 really want
00:47:52.200 to get
00:47:52.400 pushed
00:47:52.660 around
00:47:53.000 anymore?
00:47:54.240 Maybe
00:47:54.480 we're
00:47:55.020 done with
00:47:56.520 the government
00:47:56.900 telling us
00:47:57.460 what to do
00:47:57.980 if it's
00:47:58.300 not strictly
00:47:59.200 on the
00:47:59.660 Constitution.
00:48:01.100 Maybe
00:48:01.460 if every
00:48:02.280 word of
00:48:02.840 it isn't
00:48:03.280 in the
00:48:03.580 Constitution
00:48:04.100 fuck off
00:48:05.400 because we're
00:48:06.840 a little
00:48:07.120 bit tired
00:48:07.560 of being
00:48:07.880 told what
00:48:08.320 to do
00:48:08.700 and I
00:48:09.420 certainly
00:48:09.720 don't want
00:48:10.120 to be
00:48:10.320 told to
00:48:10.720 commute
00:48:11.040 two hours
00:48:11.600 a day
00:48:12.000 for what?
00:48:14.200 For what?
00:48:16.120 Biden?
00:48:17.600 Who's that
00:48:18.100 good for?
00:48:18.580 Scott thinks
00:48:22.360 Russia forgot
00:48:23.100 how to
00:48:23.540 supply an
00:48:24.140 army.
00:48:26.320 Sonia.
00:48:27.700 Sonia in
00:48:28.280 all caps.
00:48:29.640 She says
00:48:30.100 Scott thinks
00:48:30.760 Russia forgot
00:48:31.380 how to
00:48:31.720 supply an
00:48:32.180 army.
00:48:32.880 Does that
00:48:33.560 sound like
00:48:34.040 what I
00:48:34.340 just said?
00:48:35.240 Sonia?
00:48:36.580 Is that
00:48:37.140 what you
00:48:37.400 heard,
00:48:37.700 Sonia?
00:48:40.360 Because
00:48:40.800 I'm pretty
00:48:42.360 sure they
00:48:42.700 do know
00:48:43.080 how.
00:48:44.380 But you
00:48:44.880 know what
00:48:45.160 else?
00:48:45.460 I think
00:48:46.500 the
00:48:46.680 Ukrainians
00:48:47.300 know how
00:48:47.600 to stop
00:48:48.020 it.
00:48:49.060 Of course
00:48:49.400 they know
00:48:49.700 how to
00:48:49.920 supply an
00:48:50.360 army.
00:48:51.200 But nobody
00:48:51.660 knows how
00:48:52.060 to supply
00:48:52.440 an army
00:48:52.820 when their
00:48:53.200 supply line
00:48:53.740 is caught.
00:48:57.540 All right.
00:48:58.120 Yeah, I
00:49:01.800 think a lot
00:49:02.240 of you,
00:49:02.640 like Sonia,
00:49:03.120 are just
00:49:03.340 Russian bots.
00:49:04.080 That's
00:49:04.220 true.
00:49:05.360 Probably.
00:49:06.860 Probably.
00:49:08.160 What will
00:49:08.760 we say
00:49:09.160 when Russia
00:49:09.680 wins Ukraine
00:49:10.480 and Ukraine
00:49:11.660 is crushing?
00:49:12.220 What will
00:49:12.540 we say?
00:49:13.740 Well, we'll
00:49:14.160 say that's
00:49:14.560 what the
00:49:14.840 military told
00:49:15.460 us would
00:49:15.740 happen.
00:49:16.620 Let me
00:49:17.020 ask you
00:49:17.300 something.
00:49:20.920 Let me
00:49:21.440 ask you
00:49:21.740 something.
00:49:21.980 Just
00:49:28.260 looking at
00:49:28.600 your
00:49:28.720 comments
00:49:29.020 for a
00:49:29.280 moment.
00:49:30.580 I think
00:49:31.080 the all
00:49:31.520 caps people
00:49:32.140 are all,
00:49:33.020 you're all,
00:49:34.720 can we
00:49:35.540 have a
00:49:35.920 vote here?
00:49:37.180 Are the
00:49:37.700 people writing
00:49:38.380 at me in
00:49:38.820 all caps,
00:49:40.200 are they
00:49:40.600 all trolls?
00:49:41.500 They're all
00:49:41.820 bots, right?
00:49:43.180 Could we
00:49:43.760 have a
00:49:44.060 filter that
00:49:44.560 just blocked
00:49:45.660 anything that's
00:49:46.420 in all
00:49:46.720 caps?
00:49:48.900 Oh, my
00:49:49.500 God.
00:49:51.980 How much
00:49:52.500 do you
00:49:52.720 want that?
00:49:54.340 There's no
00:49:55.060 filter to
00:49:55.700 block somebody
00:49:56.300 who writes
00:49:56.760 all caps.
00:49:58.000 How much
00:49:58.700 do you
00:49:58.960 want that?
00:50:00.760 I would
00:50:01.420 pay for
00:50:01.860 that.
00:50:03.380 I would
00:50:04.000 actually pay
00:50:04.480 for it.
00:50:05.280 If you
00:50:05.780 said, I'll
00:50:06.260 pay $3 a
00:50:07.980 month, then
00:50:09.680 nobody can
00:50:10.220 write at me
00:50:10.760 with all
00:50:11.200 caps, I'd
00:50:13.900 pay $3 a
00:50:14.620 month.
00:50:16.720 Come on,
00:50:17.580 where's that
00:50:18.000 feature?
00:50:19.120 Now, you
00:50:19.860 don't want
00:50:20.360 to be
00:50:21.460 ignorant
00:50:22.400 that the
00:50:22.840 message was
00:50:23.380 sent.
00:50:24.760 What you
00:50:25.340 want is
00:50:25.820 for an
00:50:26.120 automatic
00:50:26.700 reply to
00:50:28.720 say,
00:50:29.280 messages in
00:50:31.080 all caps
00:50:31.640 are not
00:50:33.340 taken
00:50:33.620 seriously,
00:50:34.300 you've
00:50:34.460 been
00:50:34.580 blocked.
00:50:37.780 But I
00:50:38.420 guess you
00:50:38.860 couldn't be
00:50:39.180 blocked if
00:50:39.700 you're
00:50:39.920 responding
00:50:40.460 back.
00:50:40.860 Well, you
00:50:41.140 know what
00:50:41.340 I mean,
00:50:41.640 something like
00:50:42.020 that.
00:50:44.460 Ask for it
00:50:45.160 in locals.
00:50:48.380 You've
00:50:48.820 recruited 20
00:50:50.120 people to my
00:50:50.760 like, over
00:50:52.620 on the
00:50:52.940 locals platform,
00:50:53.840 they just
00:50:54.100 went to
00:50:54.380 all
00:50:54.580 capitals.
00:50:56.960 I'm
00:50:57.360 seeing a
00:50:57.740 sea of
00:50:58.060 capital
00:50:58.360 letters on
00:50:58.860 locals.
00:50:59.740 Apparently,
00:51:00.320 all the
00:51:01.480 rogues and
00:51:01.960 the rebels
00:51:02.340 are on
00:51:02.700 locals.
00:51:06.640 So, it
00:51:07.880 turns out
00:51:08.320 that in
00:51:08.720 addition to
00:51:09.460 not wanting
00:51:10.240 Biden to
00:51:10.820 tell you
00:51:11.120 what to
00:51:11.420 do, it
00:51:12.320 turns out
00:51:13.200 that my
00:51:13.520 followers don't
00:51:14.120 want me to
00:51:14.520 tell them
00:51:14.720 what to do
00:51:15.100 either.
00:51:15.300 apparently I'm
00:51:17.960 not telling
00:51:18.320 anybody what
00:51:18.840 to do.
00:51:20.300 I think
00:51:21.220 America is
00:51:21.860 done with
00:51:22.820 being told
00:51:23.260 what to
00:51:23.600 do.
00:51:25.720 And that's
00:51:26.620 why I love
00:51:27.160 America.
00:51:28.600 That's why I
00:51:29.360 love America.
00:51:30.760 Because we're
00:51:31.960 very flexible
00:51:32.820 until we're
00:51:34.200 not.
00:51:37.760 That's how I
00:51:39.900 see the
00:51:40.260 United States.
00:51:41.480 We're very
00:51:42.140 flexible,
00:51:43.160 super flexible,
00:51:44.000 until we're
00:51:45.760 not.
00:51:49.780 All right.
00:51:55.660 The people
00:51:56.640 in lowercase
00:51:57.360 are the
00:51:57.700 rogues now.
00:51:59.080 All right.
00:52:00.620 That needs
00:52:01.200 to be one
00:52:01.540 of our
00:52:01.780 defining
00:52:02.180 features.
00:52:06.680 So,
00:52:07.280 how many
00:52:07.940 mandates are
00:52:09.940 left in the
00:52:10.460 United States
00:52:11.080 from COVID?
00:52:11.940 We've got
00:52:12.500 flying still,
00:52:14.580 right?
00:52:15.700 You still
00:52:16.080 need your
00:52:16.420 mask for
00:52:16.860 flying?
00:52:17.680 Has it
00:52:18.160 been announced
00:52:18.760 that there's
00:52:19.200 an end date
00:52:19.600 to the
00:52:19.920 flying masks?
00:52:22.920 That's
00:52:23.360 crazy,
00:52:23.840 isn't it?
00:52:24.780 That's
00:52:25.040 crazy.
00:52:26.820 Now,
00:52:27.040 I believe,
00:52:27.680 is it,
00:52:28.000 was it in
00:52:30.340 Canada that
00:52:31.280 the health
00:52:31.620 care workers
00:52:32.540 can get
00:52:33.920 their jobs
00:52:34.360 back if
00:52:34.840 they're
00:52:35.000 unvaccinated?
00:52:37.120 And in the
00:52:37.600 United States,
00:52:38.600 we should have
00:52:39.380 a list of
00:52:39.880 the remaining
00:52:40.400 mandates and
00:52:42.000 dates that
00:52:42.480 they're coming
00:52:42.900 off.
00:52:43.780 Now,
00:52:44.140 I predicted
00:52:44.780 that mandates
00:52:46.000 would come
00:52:47.480 off and
00:52:48.140 that it was
00:52:48.480 temporary.
00:52:49.560 And so
00:52:49.980 far,
00:52:50.500 I think I'll
00:52:51.280 be right,
00:52:52.080 but it's
00:52:53.100 taken a lot
00:52:53.600 longer than
00:52:54.000 I thought,
00:52:54.740 so I'm
00:52:55.080 wrong about
00:52:55.440 that.
00:52:56.760 Yeah,
00:52:57.220 public transport
00:52:58.000 still needed.
00:52:59.340 So here's
00:52:59.860 my experience
00:53:01.120 from yesterday.
00:53:03.100 Every place
00:53:03.720 I went
00:53:04.060 yesterday in
00:53:04.680 California,
00:53:05.380 people were
00:53:05.780 wearing masks,
00:53:07.760 except me.
00:53:08.360 my town is
00:53:11.880 still fully
00:53:12.400 masked,
00:53:13.440 except me.
00:53:14.740 Now,
00:53:15.220 I say
00:53:15.440 fully,
00:53:15.940 it's more
00:53:16.180 like half
00:53:17.420 to 50%
00:53:18.160 or something,
00:53:18.760 but there
00:53:19.020 are a lot
00:53:19.500 of masks
00:53:20.020 there in
00:53:21.060 settings that
00:53:21.860 make no
00:53:22.180 sense.
00:53:24.080 All right,
00:53:25.340 that,
00:53:26.260 ladies and
00:53:26.620 gentlemen,
00:53:27.500 is everything
00:53:28.520 I wanted to
00:53:29.080 tell you,
00:53:29.720 except that
00:53:30.440 apparently
00:53:31.040 Biden
00:53:31.560 referred to
00:53:33.120 the Ukrainian
00:53:33.820 people as
00:53:34.600 the Iranian
00:53:35.700 people,
00:53:36.200 not his
00:53:38.340 best moment,
00:53:40.100 or as
00:53:40.900 Chris
00:53:41.200 Eliza said,
00:53:42.500 well,
00:53:42.940 we know
00:53:43.260 what he
00:53:43.440 meant,
00:53:44.180 as he's
00:53:46.540 up there
00:53:46.820 inspiring
00:53:47.300 confidence
00:53:47.900 that he
00:53:48.260 knows
00:53:48.540 which
00:53:48.860 country
00:53:49.280 is at
00:53:50.240 war,
00:53:51.700 and
00:53:52.300 in Russia,
00:53:54.960 pot smokes
00:53:55.480 you,
00:53:56.100 okay?
00:53:59.060 I do
00:53:59.760 live in a
00:54:00.200 very blue
00:54:00.640 city,
00:54:01.700 true thing.
00:54:06.200 so somebody
00:54:09.740 said they
00:54:10.160 took their
00:54:10.640 mask off
00:54:11.360 when they
00:54:12.000 were exiting
00:54:12.700 the airport,
00:54:13.720 you know,
00:54:13.920 before they
00:54:14.360 got to the
00:54:14.760 exit,
00:54:15.600 under the
00:54:16.120 theory,
00:54:16.460 what are
00:54:16.620 they going
00:54:16.860 to do,
00:54:17.180 kick you
00:54:17.520 out of
00:54:17.680 the airport?
00:54:18.840 You're
00:54:19.240 leaving the
00:54:19.800 airport.
00:54:20.920 Actually,
00:54:21.280 that's pretty
00:54:21.640 smart.
00:54:22.780 If you're
00:54:23.420 leaving the
00:54:23.900 airport,
00:54:24.840 let's say
00:54:25.440 you've got
00:54:26.200 your bags
00:54:26.660 already,
00:54:27.680 you should
00:54:28.260 definitely
00:54:28.520 take off
00:54:28.920 your mask.
00:54:31.400 Because,
00:54:31.920 again,
00:54:32.140 what are they
00:54:32.440 going to do?
00:54:33.480 Kick you
00:54:34.040 out?
00:54:34.740 The door's
00:54:35.240 just right
00:54:35.640 over there,
00:54:36.060 you're
00:54:36.200 walking
00:54:36.480 toward it.
00:54:38.560 I mean,
00:54:39.080 at the
00:54:39.600 very least,
00:54:40.320 it would
00:54:40.540 signal to
00:54:41.620 other people
00:54:42.180 that there's
00:54:43.640 not a
00:54:43.980 danger.
00:54:44.960 You know,
00:54:45.180 it would
00:54:45.460 just sort
00:54:45.900 of get
00:54:46.160 them used
00:54:46.560 to it.
00:54:46.920 So it
00:54:47.120 might be
00:54:47.320 a good
00:54:47.520 idea.
00:54:48.400 Actually,
00:54:48.820 it might
00:54:49.020 be a good
00:54:49.340 idea
00:54:49.600 anywhere to
00:54:51.160 take off
00:54:51.580 your mask
00:54:51.980 when you're
00:54:52.240 heading for
00:54:52.560 the exit.
00:54:58.580 Pilots
00:54:58.940 laid off
00:54:59.460 for refusing
00:54:59.980 the vaccination
00:55:00.640 just won a
00:55:01.240 lawsuit and
00:55:01.860 will get
00:55:02.200 back pay,
00:55:02.880 somebody's
00:55:03.240 saying in
00:55:03.500 the comments.
00:55:04.100 I don't
00:55:04.300 have a
00:55:04.640 source for
00:55:05.140 that.
00:55:05.640 All right.
00:55:15.220 Uranium.
00:55:16.220 All right,
00:55:16.600 that's all
00:55:16.800 I got.
00:55:17.160 Yeah,
00:55:17.340 we still
00:55:17.740 need masks
00:55:18.200 and health
00:55:18.560 care,
00:55:18.940 but I
00:55:19.400 don't think
00:55:19.660 that's going
00:55:20.040 to change
00:55:20.340 right away.
00:55:21.860 And I
00:55:22.420 will talk
00:55:22.860 to you,
00:55:23.860 YouTube,
00:55:24.920 tomorrow.
