Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best thing in civilization.
00:00:06.940 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:08.860 Gets better every day, you've probably noticed.
00:00:11.060 And how would you like to take it up a notch?
00:00:13.260 Because we're going to be talking about Hunter's laptop and all kinds of stuff.
00:00:20.120 And somebody in the comments just said, I think I'm pregnant.
00:00:24.320 Okay.
00:00:26.000 Congratulations.
00:00:27.040 Maybe.
00:00:27.440 But if you'd like to take it up a notch, all you do is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice of dine, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:35.620 Why don't you put your different liquid into it?
00:00:40.860 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:00:44.080 It's the dopamine hit of the day.
00:00:45.900 It's the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:48.440 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:00:51.440 Some call it the sultry sip.
00:00:53.920 But no, it's the simultaneous sip.
00:00:56.100 Go.
00:00:57.440 What's a binger?
00:01:09.360 Somebody's going to do a simultaneous binger?
00:01:12.520 Is that like a, well, I can't even imagine.
00:01:14.560 Well, according to Rasmussen, Republicans have an 11-point lead against a generic Democrat on the congressional ballot, with only 235 days left before the midterms.
00:01:28.920 And if the election were held today, 50% of likely U.S. voters would vote for the Republican, while only 39% would vote for the Democrat.
00:01:40.120 Does that tell you that the Republicans are going to win everything?
00:01:44.260 The trouble with this kind of a survey is that while it accurately captures what people are thinking, it doesn't accurately capture how they act.
00:01:54.700 Because how they act is they say, yeah, all these politicians are terrible.
00:01:59.960 Well, except mine.
00:02:01.620 Mine is good.
00:02:02.960 But all those other ones in the other states, they're bad.
00:02:06.060 So as long as people vote for their own incumbent, which they typically do, I don't know that it's going to make that much difference that there's a big generic lead.
00:02:17.060 Because nobody votes for a generic candidate.
00:02:21.560 So I'm going to say this is highly encouraging for Republicans, but I don't think it's predictive in sort of a straight line.
00:02:31.080 I mean, you could have individual match-ups that are more important than the generic feeling of things.
00:02:37.460 If all the candidates who run are, you know, the best Democrat candidate against a second-tier quality Republican, then the Democrats would win everything.
00:02:49.060 I don't think the polls are going to tell you that.
00:02:52.440 Well, apparently the U.S. is getting close to announcing some kind of Iran deal, which the experts say is worse than the last one.
00:03:02.340 Do you believe it?
00:03:04.660 Maybe.
00:03:05.220 I mean, it's easy to believe things got worse just because we have such, you know, bad attitudes about our government.
00:03:11.480 So that's easy to believe.
00:03:13.200 But I don't think we know anything about it.
00:03:17.120 The Iran deal isn't going to be another one of those big confusing black boxes where everybody will think they know something about it, but they don't.
00:03:24.940 They don't know what's going to happen.
00:03:26.180 They don't know if it'll work.
00:03:27.300 They don't know what the details are.
00:03:31.540 But I can't see lifting their terrorist designation.
00:03:35.220 As long as they're still doing terrorist-y things.
00:03:39.880 How in the world can the sanctions be lifted?
00:03:46.260 And how can we not call them a terrorist organization if they act like it?
00:03:50.620 Or are they not acting like it?
00:03:52.180 Has anything changed in Iran, or by Iran's behavior, since Soleimani was killed?
00:04:03.640 I haven't heard anything of you.
00:04:05.500 So I haven't seen any news stories that says, you know, Iran used to do a lot of adventurous stuff, and they still do.
00:04:12.580 I haven't heard that story.
00:04:15.800 But I also haven't heard the story that they stopped doing it.
00:04:22.100 Is it possible that Soleimani was the terrorist part of it?
00:04:27.500 And maybe we just took him out?
00:04:29.060 And maybe the rest of the government wasn't so big on helping other people do stuff in other countries.
00:04:37.700 Maybe.
00:04:39.020 But have you seen any kind of news either way?
00:04:42.180 Because I can't tell you in the last...
00:04:44.980 They bombed our embassy.
00:04:46.200 Do you believe that?
00:04:46.860 Do you believe that?
00:04:51.180 Do you believe that Iran bombed our embassy?
00:04:54.140 Or, I don't think it was an embassy.
00:04:55.880 It was some sort of official structure, though.
00:04:59.320 Do you believe that they bombed our embassy and we just kept talking to them about this deal?
00:05:04.800 I don't.
00:05:06.660 I don't believe that at all.
00:05:08.800 I don't believe that the U.S. knows they bombed our consulate, I guess it was.
00:05:13.280 You believe that they know Iran bombed our consulate and we're just still talking to them about this deal?
00:05:20.360 That doesn't make sense.
00:05:22.500 Does it?
00:05:24.140 You do believe that.
00:05:25.040 All right.
00:05:25.320 A lot of people say yes.
00:05:26.840 That even though they bombed the consulate, we're still talking to them.
00:05:30.900 I mean, it's possible.
00:05:32.400 It's not impossible.
00:05:34.780 But it seems to me that the first thing they would have done is said,
00:05:37.480 let's back off and this isn't the right time.
00:05:44.020 I mean, I think at the very least they would have said,
00:05:46.240 we're going to wait a month before we get serious about this to see if you can stop doing this sort of thing.
00:05:53.380 You can ask your friend.
00:05:54.800 He's right there.
00:05:57.740 Iran said they did it?
00:06:01.260 Well, probably there's a lot about this story we don't understand.
00:06:04.860 Do you think?
00:06:07.720 In fact, I don't think we know enough about the whole Iranian negotiations, or maybe nobody does,
00:06:13.620 to even have a good opinion on it.
00:06:15.800 Because I don't know what Iran's been doing lately.
00:06:18.080 I don't believe the news, just in general.
00:06:22.000 Do you believe the news?
00:06:23.040 If the news told you that Iran bombed the consulate,
00:06:27.240 do you believe it because it was in the news?
00:06:29.060 I mean, it might be true.
00:06:32.000 But I wouldn't believe it because it's in the news.
00:06:35.300 This is exactly the kind of thing that's not true.
00:06:38.540 If you're going to put it in a category,
00:06:40.720 is it in the category of things that usually pan out to be true?
00:06:44.520 Or is it in the general category of things that later you find out,
00:06:47.720 well, that wasn't exactly right.
00:06:49.660 There was more to it.
00:06:51.000 Might have been a military facility there.
00:06:53.520 Who knows?
00:06:54.020 Might have been an accident.
00:06:56.880 Who knows?
00:06:58.640 Yeah, maybe it's true this time.
00:07:00.980 Maybe this is the one.
00:07:02.060 Maybe this is the first true story we got this year.
00:07:04.840 Could be.
00:07:06.400 Could be.
00:07:11.180 So China is apparently doing this balancing act
00:07:14.620 where they're trying to be friendly to Russia
00:07:17.200 but not help them too overtly.
00:07:19.980 And apparently China's done some things
00:07:22.100 which were not exactly good for Russia.
00:07:26.220 But it looks like China's deal is going to be consistent.
00:07:29.640 And I have to say I respect it.
00:07:32.360 I've got to say that the way China handles,
00:07:36.200 you know, the way they talk about their relations with other countries,
00:07:39.860 they do that well.
00:07:41.380 And they do it consistently.
00:07:43.220 And their message is always the same.
00:07:45.660 We don't want war.
00:07:46.860 We want to be in business.
00:07:47.900 No war.
00:07:50.520 More trade.
00:07:52.140 And am I wrong that China is very consistent about that?
00:07:55.480 It's like, no, we don't want to be involved in this.
00:07:57.200 We just want to sell you stuff and buy stuff.
00:07:58.960 That's it.
00:08:00.240 So I think that they did the usual China good job of saying,
00:08:05.940 hey, don't get us involved.
00:08:07.360 You know, this isn't our fight.
00:08:09.840 But did you think that China was ever going to
00:08:14.340 actually directly help Russia in the war?
00:08:16.520 How many of you thought China was because our news told us
00:08:20.740 that they were thinking about it, right?
00:08:22.840 Now, how did the news know that they were thinking about it?
00:08:25.500 Was it dozens of intel sources?
00:08:29.800 Is that how we heard?
00:08:31.580 Was it all of our intel sources?
00:08:33.480 I never believed that China was thinking of directly helping militarily
00:08:40.040 or even directly backstopping them to the point where it would be effectively a military assistance.
00:08:48.420 And apparently they're not.
00:08:50.160 The indications are that they're not going to do anything too special for Russia.
00:08:54.620 Now, this might explain why.
00:08:59.120 Even though Russia and China do a lot of business,
00:09:04.400 the total amount of business that China does with Russia is about 2% of China's business.
00:09:10.720 So 2% of China's trade is with Russia.
00:09:13.080 A lot of it is with America and the European Union.
00:09:18.380 So what's good for China is to stay friends with whoever is buying most of their stuff
00:09:23.320 and to maybe be a little ambiguous with somebody who's only a 2% impact.
00:09:29.120 So if you ever thought that China would bet its entire economy
00:09:34.240 to help Russia beat Ukraine, which is not even worth doing,
00:09:40.040 at least from China's point of view, it has no benefit,
00:09:43.380 why would China risk its own economy?
00:09:46.140 Because they know that the sanctions would start to move into anti-China stuff if they do that.
00:09:52.580 Why would they do that?
00:09:53.820 To help Russia conquer Ukraine, of all things.
00:09:57.620 They couldn't have less interest than that.
00:10:01.460 So I think that was always fake news,
00:10:04.480 and I'm going to say that the intel, if you can call it that,
00:10:08.560 that said that China was going to help Russia,
00:10:11.020 probably was just fake intel again.
00:10:15.160 How many times have you seen that?
00:10:18.540 All right.
00:10:21.820 So the New York Times has confirmed that Hunter's laptop is real.
00:10:27.620 I was a little surprised that that's still a story.
00:10:34.480 I thought everybody knew it was real, but I guess not.
00:10:39.480 Is it really a story that the New York Times says is real?
00:10:42.220 Because I wasn't aware, I mean, obviously, you know, Jen Psaki and Biden and everybody
00:10:49.080 said it was Russian disinformation, but we know Democrats lie,
00:10:53.100 and we know politicians lie.
00:10:55.600 But didn't the public already know this was real?
00:10:58.580 I haven't seen a poll, but was there anybody in the public who thought it wasn't real?
00:11:06.840 I thought they all knew it was real.
00:11:09.060 But maybe I'm surprised.
00:11:10.740 Maybe the mainstream news was so strong with their brainwashing
00:11:15.020 that they actually convinced the public it wasn't real.
00:11:17.660 Did that happen?
00:11:22.020 Yeah, there is a phenomenon, which is that the news doesn't become real
00:11:28.600 until the New York Times says it's real.
00:11:31.220 That's the thing, by the way.
00:11:32.700 If you don't know how the media landscape works,
00:11:36.960 the paper of record, as they like to call it, is in the New York Times.
00:11:41.700 So when the paper of record says it's true,
00:11:44.420 then everybody else can comfortably say it's true.
00:11:47.420 Well, the paper of record says it's true,
00:11:49.980 so that's basically like a fact check.
00:11:53.600 So now they've said it's true.
00:11:57.500 Yeah, and the story was blocked by Facebook, Twitter, and Google.
00:12:02.720 Everything about this story is everything that's wrong with the world,
00:12:06.320 or the country, maybe.
00:12:07.720 Maybe let's just say the country.
00:12:11.700 Let me deal with the...
00:12:17.340 There's a good comment there I wanted to deal with.
00:12:21.140 But remind me to talk about prednisone
00:12:24.780 after I talk about Hunter's laptop.
00:12:28.600 Now, of course, as we look back
00:12:30.560 on how this was presented to the public,
00:12:33.420 we were told that dozens of former Intel officials,
00:12:36.260 I think 50 of them signed a document
00:12:38.100 saying that it was Russian disinformation
00:12:40.760 and rather obviously so.
00:12:43.080 Rather obviously.
00:12:44.660 According to these 50 people who didn't look at it.
00:12:49.020 And now Richard Grinnell tweeted this.
00:12:52.780 A Republican Senate must, in all caps,
00:12:55.860 a good use of all caps in this case,
00:12:58.220 a Republican Senate must hold hearings
00:13:00.640 with all 50 of the people who signed that letter
00:13:03.600 three weeks before the 2020 campaign.
00:13:06.960 Because the timing...
00:13:08.060 They all said Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation,
00:13:11.940 and they didn't have a single piece of intel to suggest it.
00:13:16.640 That is correct.
00:13:18.240 I do believe that the Republican Senate
00:13:20.660 should talk to every one of those intel people
00:13:23.000 and say,
00:13:24.420 why did you say this with no information?
00:13:27.240 Was this purely to influence the election?
00:13:30.000 Because it looks like it was purely to influence the election,
00:13:33.440 which would mean that the 2020...
00:13:35.760 or the...
00:13:37.140 Yeah, which would mean the 2020 campaign was rigged
00:13:39.620 by our own intel.
00:13:43.320 Is that too...
00:13:44.560 Is that...
00:13:45.240 Is rigged the wrong word?
00:13:48.680 Because it's corruption.
00:13:49.820 I mean, based on what we could tell,
00:13:53.660 I mean, we...
00:13:54.200 You know, maybe if they testify,
00:13:55.980 they've got some story that is not obvious to any of us,
00:13:59.920 that would suggest that maybe they were legitimately fooled.
00:14:04.820 Legitimately fooled.
00:14:06.680 Do you think they could make that case?
00:14:12.040 What is the definition of rigged?
00:14:14.620 Let me look it up right now.
00:14:17.100 Rigged.
00:14:19.820 Rigged.
00:14:22.160 Because I'm not sure if misinformation gets into that.
00:14:29.380 Okay.
00:14:30.140 To rig, as in crime.
00:14:32.380 Okay.
00:14:33.400 To manage or conduct something fraudulently
00:14:36.080 so as to produce a result of a situation
00:14:38.280 that is advantageous to a particular person.
00:14:42.360 So did somebody manage or conduct
00:14:44.540 something fraudulently?
00:14:49.180 Yes.
00:14:49.820 The news.
00:14:52.640 Yes, the news
00:14:53.780 was managed fraudulently
00:14:57.080 right in front of us
00:14:58.200 to create a situation
00:15:00.860 favorable for one candidate,
00:15:03.320 an advantage,
00:15:04.580 in an election which had great consequences.
00:15:08.160 So yeah,
00:15:09.080 actually, according to the New York Times,
00:15:11.700 the 2020 election was rigged.
00:15:13.320 That's kind of big.
00:15:16.260 Trump was right.
00:15:16.860 Trump was right.
00:15:19.800 Now, he wasn't talking about only this.
00:15:23.300 I mean, he had other allegations,
00:15:24.960 which we'll have to wait on some of those,
00:15:27.960 or maybe we'll never know.
00:15:29.020 But if 50 intel people lied to change the result of an election,
00:15:37.040 or at least that would be the presumed intention of that,
00:15:40.760 the 2020 election was rigged,
00:15:44.920 and the paper of record just confirmed it.
00:15:51.300 What do you think of that?
00:15:52.300 But the way I just said it will not be the way the public hears it, right?
00:15:59.080 They're never going to hear that.
00:16:01.880 They're just going to hear
00:16:02.980 with their own team all the time.
00:16:06.120 But yeah, wow.
00:16:07.700 The New York Times confirms that the 2020 election
00:16:10.100 was rigged
00:16:11.080 by the intel,
00:16:13.040 the intel's community.
00:16:17.580 Amazing.
00:16:19.320 But we're so numb to bad behavior
00:16:21.640 at this point,
00:16:22.180 it won't make any difference.
00:16:23.040 Do you remember,
00:16:26.740 speaking of Russian disinformation,
00:16:28.820 or the United States
00:16:30.080 creating disinformation
00:16:31.900 about Russian disinformation,
00:16:34.640 do you remember when Russia
00:16:35.900 spent almost nothing
00:16:37.560 to make a bunch of memes
00:16:40.420 for Facebook
00:16:41.140 that if you saw the memes,
00:16:43.300 and I have,
00:16:44.560 you'd know two things.
00:16:45.720 Number one,
00:16:47.320 you don't know anybody who saw them.
00:16:49.500 They weren't memes you've ever seen.
00:16:51.560 Number two,
00:16:52.100 they looked like were developed
00:16:53.360 by a high school project,
00:16:55.580 meaning that there was nothing
00:16:56.660 about the memes
00:16:57.400 that suggested
00:16:58.100 any kind of persuasion skill whatsoever.
00:17:01.380 Trust me on that.
00:17:02.680 Right?
00:17:02.880 That's sort of my domain.
00:17:04.520 There was no persuasion quality
00:17:06.080 to them whatsoever.
00:17:07.480 And they spent, what,
00:17:08.320 $100,000?
00:17:10.360 Which is nothing.
00:17:12.560 So the whole story
00:17:13.680 about Russian election interference
00:17:15.420 was technically true,
00:17:17.940 but the part they leave out
00:17:19.600 is that it's a little bit
00:17:21.020 like pissing in the ocean.
00:17:23.060 Did Russia piss in the ocean?
00:17:25.440 True.
00:17:27.240 Did the shoreline show any difference?
00:17:33.020 Not so much.
00:17:34.460 No, not so much.
00:17:36.560 Did the sea level rise
00:17:39.820 when Russia pissed in the ocean?
00:17:42.300 Technically, yes.
00:17:45.100 Not enough that you could measure.
00:17:47.980 So that's sort of what
00:17:48.980 the Russian election
00:17:49.720 interference was then.
00:17:50.720 And how do we know
00:17:52.400 there was so much
00:17:52.960 Russian interference then?
00:17:55.540 Well, I believe we heard that
00:17:57.020 from plenty of current
00:17:58.340 and former intel officials.
00:18:00.080 Am I right?
00:18:01.360 Current and past intel officials.
00:18:05.300 So pretty much everything
00:18:07.420 we've heard about Russia
00:18:08.380 is disinformation
00:18:09.680 from our own side,
00:18:11.900 often disinformation
00:18:13.060 about their disinformation.
00:18:15.720 Just to complete the picture.
00:18:18.180 So spot the pattern.
00:18:19.860 It's pretty clear
00:18:20.580 that the United States
00:18:21.520 is now completely
00:18:23.080 controlled by its own intel agencies.
00:18:29.980 I just said that
00:18:31.120 like as a matter of fact.
00:18:32.400 Did you like how I did that?
00:18:35.580 I just said the most provocative thing
00:18:37.280 that's ever been said
00:18:38.080 in the United States.
00:18:39.480 But I said it like a matter of fact.
00:18:41.180 And you just said,
00:18:41.780 yeah, that's true.
00:18:43.700 That the United States government
00:18:45.380 is captured by our intel.
00:18:48.000 Now, I have a theory
00:18:49.000 that all governments
00:18:49.900 eventually are captured
00:18:51.140 by their own intelligence agencies.
00:18:53.760 Because it has to happen.
00:18:55.880 Am I wrong?
00:18:58.520 Am I wrong?
00:19:00.180 That if you just take
00:19:01.600 any situation
00:19:02.400 where there's a strong
00:19:03.320 intelligence entity,
00:19:06.520 that if you wait long enough,
00:19:08.620 that intelligence entity
00:19:09.840 will control the government
00:19:11.100 that hired it.
00:19:12.720 Right?
00:19:13.240 I mean, it can't really
00:19:13.960 go any other way.
00:19:15.580 I mean, there's a reason
00:19:16.280 that Putin's in charge
00:19:17.240 of Russia, right?
00:19:20.300 Going from the intel agency
00:19:21.980 to running the country
00:19:22.960 is a pretty direct path
00:19:24.600 in a dictatorship, for sure.
00:19:26.980 Yeah.
00:19:30.760 Yeah, at this point,
00:19:32.160 it does look like
00:19:33.000 the U.S. government
00:19:35.120 is essentially
00:19:36.020 an intelligence agency
00:19:38.100 cutout,
00:19:39.760 or just a puppet.
00:19:41.860 That's what it looks like.
00:19:43.660 Now, I probably get kicked
00:19:45.640 off of social media
00:19:46.440 if I say,
00:19:47.040 I have proof.
00:19:48.340 That's what it is.
00:19:49.360 I'm just saying that
00:19:50.120 based on everything
00:19:50.760 we've seen
00:19:51.320 just in the public domain,
00:19:53.140 that would be
00:19:53.800 the reasonable interpretation.
00:19:57.180 Am I wrong?
00:19:59.340 Who disagrees with me?
00:20:00.900 It's a reasonable interpretation
00:20:02.460 based on public information,
00:20:04.420 no special research needed,
00:20:05.980 that our intel agencies
00:20:08.000 are running the government.
00:20:10.080 Effectively.
00:20:10.920 You know,
00:20:11.120 on anything important.
00:20:13.080 Certainly on anything
00:20:14.060 that involves foreign countries.
00:20:15.800 Maybe far less
00:20:16.820 for domestic stuff.
00:20:18.080 Yeah, let me modify that.
00:20:19.460 I doubt our intel agencies
00:20:20.800 are having much impact,
00:20:22.260 if any,
00:20:22.600 on any domestic policy.
00:20:25.160 Because they don't care.
00:20:27.200 But I think they have
00:20:27.900 a lot of impact,
00:20:28.820 maybe it's the only impact,
00:20:30.620 on foreign relations.
00:20:33.440 So that's my take.
00:20:35.760 All right.
00:20:37.880 So,
00:20:38.740 Trump is right again.
00:20:42.820 Starting to become
00:20:44.060 my best prediction
00:20:44.920 that Trump would look better
00:20:46.140 every day he was out of office.
00:20:48.380 Do you all believe it yet?
00:20:50.160 How many believed me
00:20:51.000 when I said it?
00:20:51.740 Do you remember
00:20:52.840 when I said it
00:20:53.480 in the beginning?
00:20:54.400 I said he would look better
00:20:55.320 every day he's out of office.
00:20:57.760 I'll bet you didn't believe it, right?
00:20:59.920 All right.
00:21:00.340 Let me talk about Predizone.
00:21:03.240 There was a Mike Cernovich tweet today
00:21:05.720 that said,
00:21:06.620 among other things,
00:21:07.800 that Putin has a world view.
00:21:10.340 So if you're just looking at him
00:21:12.420 as a crazy person,
00:21:14.500 you may have been hypnotized
00:21:16.340 or brainwashed by the media.
00:21:17.860 I'm adding that last part.
00:21:19.380 But the point being
00:21:22.280 that listening to Putin,
00:21:26.900 you don't get the sense
00:21:28.120 that he's insane necessarily.
00:21:30.280 He was obviously stressed.
00:21:31.500 But he has a world view
00:21:33.960 that holds together
00:21:35.300 even if you disagree with it.
00:21:37.600 And therefore,
00:21:38.320 he's not operating from insanity.
00:21:40.420 He's operating from
00:21:41.560 a different set of priorities
00:21:43.360 or, you know,
00:21:45.000 a sense of what's important.
00:21:47.960 Now,
00:21:48.640 when Mike Cernovich said
00:21:50.620 in that tweet,
00:21:51.560 he said that
00:21:52.160 if you're thinking
00:21:53.020 that prednisone
00:21:53.840 is the explanation,
00:21:55.600 then you're not
00:21:56.280 a serious person.
00:21:57.620 And I've said
00:21:58.960 that he looks like somebody
00:22:00.040 who could be
00:22:00.640 on some kind of drug
00:22:02.480 and that prednisone
00:22:03.640 would be a good guess.
00:22:06.400 Because prednisone,
00:22:07.780 my experience with it
00:22:08.980 is because I took
00:22:09.860 too much of it
00:22:10.560 in 20,
00:22:11.820 whatever,
00:22:12.500 19.
00:22:13.440 And it just changed
00:22:16.380 my personality.
00:22:17.940 I mean,
00:22:18.160 I could feel it
00:22:18.840 in real time.
00:22:19.780 Those of you
00:22:20.360 who are watching me
00:22:21.020 on live stream,
00:22:21.740 can you confirm,
00:22:23.080 I think you can,
00:22:24.260 can you confirm
00:22:25.020 that when you knew
00:22:25.720 I was on prednisone,
00:22:26.700 because I told you
00:22:27.260 publicly,
00:22:27.620 that I was more
00:22:29.120 aggressive?
00:22:31.500 Can you confirm
00:22:32.920 that?
00:22:34.340 Based on just
00:22:35.040 observation.
00:22:36.100 I mean,
00:22:36.340 you don't know
00:22:36.700 what I'm thinking.
00:22:38.640 But I want to,
00:22:39.280 you know,
00:22:39.460 I know a number
00:22:39.960 of you are going
00:22:40.320 to say yes,
00:22:40.820 but I want those
00:22:41.780 of you who didn't
00:22:42.680 witness it
00:22:43.380 to hear from
00:22:44.660 the ones who did.
00:22:46.020 You saw me every day
00:22:47.320 and you saw me
00:22:47.940 on prednisone
00:22:48.700 and you saw me off
00:22:49.540 and I don't think
00:22:50.500 you could miss
00:22:51.820 the difference.
00:22:53.520 Am I right?
00:22:54.620 The difference
00:22:55.200 wasn't small,
00:22:57.620 the difference
00:22:59.300 was striking
00:23:00.040 and I could feel
00:23:02.240 it in myself.
00:23:03.100 So while you were
00:23:04.200 observing I was
00:23:05.700 different,
00:23:06.320 I could feel it too.
00:23:07.940 I felt it maybe
00:23:09.080 even more strongly
00:23:09.880 than you could
00:23:10.420 observe it.
00:23:11.440 I felt fundamentally
00:23:12.760 like a different
00:23:13.480 person.
00:23:14.420 In other words,
00:23:15.320 even,
00:23:16.960 you know,
00:23:17.180 if I always had
00:23:18.220 that personality
00:23:19.040 that I had
00:23:20.000 under prednisone,
00:23:20.780 I would think
00:23:21.160 I was a different
00:23:21.680 person.
00:23:22.040 But of course,
00:23:24.140 the prednisone
00:23:24.740 goes away
00:23:25.260 and I go back
00:23:26.060 to my normal
00:23:26.700 situation.
00:23:28.920 So I'm going
00:23:30.280 to agree
00:23:32.060 with Cernovich,
00:23:34.400 but I'm going
00:23:36.760 to say this.
00:23:37.940 If you think
00:23:38.740 the entire story
00:23:39.980 is prednisone,
00:23:41.080 you're wrong.
00:23:42.400 So I agree
00:23:42.920 with him on that.
00:23:44.300 It's not the
00:23:44.880 entire story.
00:23:46.660 You know,
00:23:46.960 I'm not saying
00:23:47.440 that he doesn't
00:23:48.000 have,
00:23:48.760 or that Russia
00:23:49.240 doesn't have
00:23:49.760 some historical
00:23:50.520 claim,
00:23:52.020 you know,
00:23:53.380 claim or interest
00:23:54.500 to Ukraine.
00:23:55.180 That's true.
00:23:55.800 They do.
00:23:56.680 And I'm not going
00:23:57.300 to say that they
00:23:57.800 don't have any
00:23:58.540 military or defense
00:24:00.100 incentive,
00:24:02.100 because they do.
00:24:03.920 Right?
00:24:04.300 I mean,
00:24:04.660 you could,
00:24:05.220 if you were to
00:24:05.880 write on paper,
00:24:07.320 write an essay,
00:24:09.100 try to write it
00:24:10.200 from Putin's
00:24:10.900 point of view,
00:24:12.460 does he have
00:24:13.000 good reasons
00:24:13.700 or just reasons
00:24:14.500 to do what he's
00:24:15.600 doing?
00:24:15.820 I think you could
00:24:17.260 make a case for it.
00:24:18.180 You could make
00:24:19.440 a non-crazy case
00:24:21.180 for what he's
00:24:21.660 doing.
00:24:22.400 It's not working
00:24:23.220 out,
00:24:23.820 so you could say
00:24:24.860 that he's failing.
00:24:25.780 That's a separate
00:24:26.480 question.
00:24:27.460 But he had a reason.
00:24:30.180 Here's the question.
00:24:32.720 If you have a reason
00:24:34.040 to punch somebody,
00:24:35.860 do you always do it?
00:24:38.620 If you have a reason
00:24:39.940 to punch somebody,
00:24:41.440 do you always do it?
00:24:43.300 The answer is no.
00:24:45.220 Now I put you
00:24:46.180 on prednisone,
00:24:46.980 and I give you
00:24:47.980 too much of it.
00:24:49.580 Now you still have
00:24:50.320 the same reason
00:24:50.920 to punch somebody.
00:24:51.680 There's no change.
00:24:53.200 You had the same
00:24:53.840 reason to punch somebody.
00:24:55.400 Now do you take
00:24:55.980 the punch?
00:24:57.940 Maybe.
00:24:59.340 Maybe you do.
00:25:00.980 So definitely
00:25:01.960 I agree with
00:25:03.380 Cernovich that you
00:25:04.320 can't say this is
00:25:05.160 a prednisone only
00:25:07.060 or any drug.
00:25:08.100 You can't say
00:25:08.620 it's a drug only
00:25:09.720 situation.
00:25:10.360 It's not,
00:25:10.920 of course.
00:25:12.200 It's Russia
00:25:13.320 has a good point.
00:25:15.280 Ukraine has
00:25:15.900 a good point.
00:25:16.640 That's why
00:25:17.040 there's a war.
00:25:18.220 If they didn't
00:25:19.360 both have
00:25:19.920 a good point,
00:25:21.400 it wouldn't
00:25:22.300 look like this.
00:25:23.680 Now I'm not saying
00:25:24.460 I agree with
00:25:25.120 Russia's point
00:25:25.800 or agree with
00:25:26.500 Ukraine's.
00:25:27.100 I'm saying that
00:25:27.540 from their
00:25:27.940 points of view,
00:25:29.120 they can make
00:25:29.700 an argument
00:25:30.100 that holds
00:25:30.600 together on paper.
00:25:32.460 Not everybody
00:25:33.160 can do that.
00:25:34.760 I'm just saying
00:25:35.640 that if you add
00:25:36.440 prednisone to
00:25:37.200 any situation
00:25:38.020 that's already
00:25:38.640 tense,
00:25:39.580 it's going to
00:25:40.460 get tenser.
00:25:41.760 It's not going to
00:25:42.580 get more relaxed.
00:25:44.380 So it is
00:25:45.460 possible,
00:25:46.440 but there is
00:25:47.560 no direct
00:25:50.080 evidence that
00:25:50.720 I've seen,
00:25:52.380 it's possible
00:25:53.220 that prednisone
00:25:53.900 is a variable.
00:25:56.040 I would go
00:25:57.200 as high as
00:25:58.280 20%
00:25:59.520 possibility
00:26:00.440 that it's
00:26:01.940 either prednisone
00:26:02.780 or some
00:26:03.500 medication
00:26:04.620 is changing
00:26:06.420 Putin's
00:26:07.140 personality
00:26:08.860 in his judgment.
00:26:09.960 I'd give
00:26:10.720 it a 20%
00:26:11.440 chance.
00:26:12.720 But I'll tell
00:26:13.420 you,
00:26:13.560 he looks like
00:26:14.240 he's a guy
00:26:14.820 who's different.
00:26:18.480 Yeah,
00:26:18.960 he looks like
00:26:19.860 a guy who's
00:26:20.460 changed.
00:26:21.140 Now,
00:26:21.380 when I say
00:26:22.020 that,
00:26:22.480 I'm not
00:26:22.920 saying that,
00:26:23.620 well,
00:26:24.240 let me be
00:26:25.100 as careful
00:26:25.740 as I can
00:26:26.160 with my
00:26:26.500 words.
00:26:27.140 I'm not
00:26:27.880 intentionally
00:26:28.700 telling you
00:26:30.720 something
00:26:31.080 that I don't
00:26:32.120 believe to be
00:26:32.680 true.
00:26:34.760 In other
00:26:35.360 words,
00:26:35.640 I could be
00:26:36.140 wrong that
00:26:36.860 Putin is on
00:26:37.520 some kind
00:26:37.920 of drug.
00:26:38.360 I could easily
00:26:38.860 be wrong.
00:26:39.960 But I honestly
00:26:40.980 think he is.
00:26:42.500 And I have a
00:26:43.240 strong feeling
00:26:43.880 about it.
00:26:44.880 I have a
00:26:45.240 strong feeling
00:26:46.200 that he's
00:26:47.340 on drugs
00:26:47.920 of some
00:26:48.300 kind that's
00:26:49.360 affecting his
00:26:49.980 behavior and
00:26:51.320 that I can
00:26:51.800 identify it
00:26:52.880 just by his
00:26:53.780 mannerisms and
00:26:54.560 his look.
00:26:55.920 Now,
00:26:56.400 you know that
00:26:56.780 there's a lot
00:26:57.180 of science
00:26:57.760 that says that
00:26:59.500 people can
00:26:59.940 identify people
00:27:00.820 who are sick
00:27:01.380 just by looking
00:27:02.480 at their face.
00:27:03.720 Did you know
00:27:04.120 that?
00:27:05.200 That's an
00:27:05.700 actual thing.
00:27:06.260 It can be
00:27:06.600 tested.
00:27:07.440 Now,
00:27:07.640 people don't
00:27:08.000 get it right
00:27:08.360 every time.
00:27:08.960 But if you
00:27:10.340 showed two
00:27:10.840 faces and
00:27:11.520 one was
00:27:12.160 sick and
00:27:12.560 one wasn't,
00:27:13.860 the humans
00:27:14.820 can pick it
00:27:15.300 up like that
00:27:15.820 because we're
00:27:16.360 designed to
00:27:18.380 identify other
00:27:20.200 humans who are
00:27:20.780 good for
00:27:21.100 reproduction.
00:27:22.480 And you're
00:27:23.060 going to be
00:27:23.300 less likely to
00:27:24.400 want to
00:27:24.800 reproduce with
00:27:25.400 somebody who
00:27:25.760 looks sick
00:27:26.280 than someone
00:27:27.200 who looks
00:27:27.520 healthy.
00:27:27.940 So we
00:27:28.380 can pick
00:27:28.680 out healthy
00:27:29.120 just like
00:27:29.540 that.
00:27:30.140 We're
00:27:30.340 really good
00:27:30.720 at it.
00:27:31.480 And I
00:27:31.800 look at
00:27:32.180 Putin and
00:27:33.380 I say,
00:27:33.980 I don't see
00:27:34.880 health.
00:27:35.160 I see
00:27:36.440 bad
00:27:36.700 health.
00:27:38.380 Doesn't
00:27:38.900 mean I'm
00:27:39.180 right,
00:27:39.980 but humans
00:27:40.520 are good
00:27:40.860 at this.
00:27:41.980 That's the
00:27:42.660 only case
00:27:43.100 I'll make
00:27:43.460 is that we
00:27:44.260 are good
00:27:44.720 at it
00:27:45.160 and he
00:27:45.920 does look
00:27:46.380 sick or
00:27:47.520 something's
00:27:48.540 going on.
00:27:50.860 All right.
00:27:55.400 Why did
00:27:56.200 our intel
00:27:57.040 know that
00:27:57.560 Putin would
00:27:58.040 invade long
00:27:59.160 before he had
00:28:00.820 150,000 people
00:28:02.240 surrounding the
00:28:02.920 country?
00:28:03.540 At that point,
00:28:04.140 it was a
00:28:04.440 little more
00:28:04.740 obvious.
00:28:07.340 But how
00:28:08.820 did our
00:28:09.160 intel get
00:28:09.640 that one
00:28:09.980 so right
00:28:10.660 when they
00:28:11.840 got so
00:28:12.220 many other
00:28:12.600 things wrong?
00:28:14.280 What do
00:28:14.640 you think
00:28:14.820 that is?
00:28:16.600 Now,
00:28:17.280 you're going
00:28:17.940 to say it
00:28:18.620 wasn't hard
00:28:19.280 because Russia
00:28:20.360 had said
00:28:21.900 enough things
00:28:22.740 to indicate
00:28:23.300 it and they
00:28:23.920 had started
00:28:24.560 massing troops.
00:28:25.820 So really,
00:28:26.400 they were just
00:28:26.740 looking at what
00:28:27.220 was happening.
00:28:28.300 So it wasn't
00:28:28.800 that much of a
00:28:29.560 prediction.
00:28:30.880 But I want
00:28:32.000 to give you at
00:28:32.500 least one other
00:28:33.120 possibility.
00:28:34.140 Without
00:28:34.700 evidence,
00:28:36.360 so that there's
00:28:36.960 not any evidence
00:28:37.780 to what I'm
00:28:38.200 going to say,
00:28:39.100 it's just in
00:28:39.700 the possibility
00:28:40.420 set because we
00:28:41.500 don't know
00:28:41.840 what's going
00:28:42.220 on.
00:28:43.260 One of the
00:28:43.680 possibilities is
00:28:45.200 the reason our
00:28:45.880 intel people knew
00:28:46.900 that Russia was
00:28:47.780 going to invade is
00:28:48.660 that they caused
00:28:49.240 it.
00:28:49.440 Do you know
00:28:51.160 it's a lot
00:28:51.520 easier to predict
00:28:52.660 things that you
00:28:53.520 cause on your
00:28:54.220 own?
00:28:55.340 Have you ever
00:28:55.640 seen me do
00:28:56.120 that?
00:28:57.760 All right,
00:28:58.020 here's an
00:28:58.300 interesting question.
00:28:59.480 For those of you
00:29:00.160 who have been
00:29:00.380 watching me for a
00:29:01.160 long time,
00:29:01.680 have you ever
00:29:03.140 seen me predict
00:29:04.060 something?
00:29:05.640 And then after
00:29:06.200 it came true,
00:29:07.240 you said to
00:29:07.660 yourself,
00:29:08.660 wait a minute,
00:29:09.280 did he predict
00:29:09.880 that or did he
00:29:10.820 cause that to
00:29:11.420 happen?
00:29:12.720 And he knew he
00:29:13.460 was going to
00:29:13.840 cause it to
00:29:14.300 happen,
00:29:14.580 so he just
00:29:14.980 acted like he
00:29:15.520 was predicting
00:29:16.000 it.
00:29:16.780 Have you ever
00:29:17.100 seen me do
00:29:17.520 that?
00:29:21.020 I'm seeing
00:29:21.620 some yeses.
00:29:23.020 You know,
00:29:23.320 you can't be
00:29:23.780 sure,
00:29:24.160 right?
00:29:24.420 Because you'd
00:29:26.020 have to trust
00:29:26.580 me and,
00:29:28.500 you know,
00:29:28.680 you shouldn't
00:29:29.000 trust anybody
00:29:29.860 really.
00:29:31.460 As a general
00:29:32.260 rule,
00:29:32.940 just don't
00:29:33.460 trust anybody.
00:29:36.340 Okay,
00:29:37.020 so during the
00:29:37.600 2016 election
00:29:39.340 cycle,
00:29:40.780 there were
00:29:41.880 things that I
00:29:42.640 did attempt
00:29:43.240 to directly
00:29:43.980 change,
00:29:45.620 and I know
00:29:47.240 things went
00:29:47.700 my way,
00:29:48.640 but it's hard
00:29:49.060 to know how
00:29:49.480 much effect
00:29:49.920 you had.
00:29:51.960 All right,
00:29:52.540 true or
00:29:54.940 false,
00:29:55.640 Russia,
00:29:56.280 as Wall Street
00:29:57.040 Journal is
00:29:57.560 reporting,
00:29:58.440 is Russia,
00:29:59.740 or at least
00:30:00.920 Ukraine,
00:30:01.540 is it becoming
00:30:02.040 a graveyard for
00:30:02.980 Russian tanks?
00:30:04.820 Do you believe
00:30:05.840 the report that
00:30:06.940 400 Russian
00:30:08.260 tanks have been
00:30:09.000 stopped or
00:30:09.740 destroyed by
00:30:11.160 the Ukrainians?
00:30:12.540 Now,
00:30:13.200 400 is a lot
00:30:13.980 of tanks to
00:30:14.600 destroy.
00:30:16.700 We are told
00:30:17.700 that the Russian
00:30:18.660 military advance
00:30:19.580 has stopped in
00:30:20.740 the last day
00:30:21.560 or so.
00:30:22.540 Two days,
00:30:23.060 I think.
00:30:24.020 Now,
00:30:24.440 again,
00:30:24.860 I'm not even
00:30:25.400 sure if that's
00:30:25.940 true.
00:30:26.480 They could be
00:30:27.000 just regrouping.
00:30:28.220 Maybe they're
00:30:28.720 not bogged
00:30:29.200 down at all.
00:30:30.200 Could be
00:30:30.500 anything.
00:30:31.780 But,
00:30:32.840 so as a
00:30:33.760 general rule,
00:30:34.320 I don't believe
00:30:35.120 any of the
00:30:35.700 reports coming
00:30:36.500 out.
00:30:36.720 The only thing
00:30:37.140 you could
00:30:37.420 believe is
00:30:37.920 that Ukraine
00:30:38.560 is still
00:30:39.160 fighting.
00:30:40.580 Right?
00:30:40.900 They're very
00:30:41.460 basic things
00:30:42.160 you can believe.
00:30:43.200 Yeah,
00:30:43.720 they're still
00:30:44.240 fighting.
00:30:45.380 We know
00:30:45.780 that.
00:30:47.160 I would say
00:30:47.900 at this point
00:30:48.380 that Ukraine
00:30:48.880 is poised to
00:30:49.720 win the war.
00:30:50.260 And I'll
00:30:52.760 go back to
00:30:53.200 my original
00:30:53.780 prediction.
00:30:54.780 Remember,
00:30:55.260 my worst
00:30:55.740 prediction is,
00:30:57.340 and I kept
00:30:58.080 the prediction
00:30:58.640 long after it
00:30:59.640 was obvious it
00:31:00.940 wasn't going to
00:31:01.420 come true,
00:31:02.100 because I just
00:31:02.520 wanted to be
00:31:02.900 consistent.
00:31:03.320 but I
00:31:04.260 predicted that
00:31:04.920 Russia would
00:31:05.560 not invade
00:31:06.300 because it
00:31:07.440 would be
00:31:08.000 the worst
00:31:09.420 decision Putin
00:31:10.660 ever made,
00:31:11.280 and it was
00:31:11.580 obviously a
00:31:12.260 bad decision.
00:31:13.640 Now,
00:31:14.020 I believed it
00:31:14.760 because I
00:31:16.820 thought that
00:31:17.320 Russian tanks
00:31:18.020 couldn't survive
00:31:19.420 American technology,
00:31:22.360 meaning the
00:31:23.020 shoulder-mounted
00:31:24.080 stuff and
00:31:25.360 the drones and
00:31:26.280 whatever else we
00:31:27.300 have that you've
00:31:28.000 never even heard
00:31:28.480 of.
00:31:29.240 So I
00:31:29.820 believed that
00:31:30.460 Ukraine would
00:31:31.200 have enough of
00:31:31.940 the good
00:31:32.320 technology that
00:31:33.580 the Russian
00:31:34.100 tanks would be
00:31:35.400 stopped cold,
00:31:36.380 and that Russia
00:31:37.020 really can't hold
00:31:37.860 the country
00:31:38.260 without tanks.
00:31:39.840 So here are my
00:31:40.720 assumptions.
00:31:42.840 Ukraine would
00:31:43.740 have enough
00:31:44.380 modern technology,
00:31:45.960 so having enough
00:31:46.760 of it counts.
00:31:47.660 It appears that's
00:31:48.380 going to be the
00:31:48.780 case.
00:31:49.660 I said that their
00:31:51.140 technology to defeat
00:31:52.440 a tank would be
00:31:53.320 better than the
00:31:53.980 tank technology.
00:31:55.180 That appears to
00:31:56.060 be the case.
00:31:56.600 And I'm going
00:31:58.220 to add to
00:31:58.660 that, I
00:31:59.180 don't know if
00:31:59.500 I said this
00:31:59.940 originally, but
00:32:00.500 I'll add to
00:32:00.980 it, I don't
00:32:02.160 think you can
00:32:02.680 conquer a
00:32:03.160 country without
00:32:03.680 tanks.
00:32:05.420 So they need
00:32:06.480 tanks and
00:32:07.140 they're not
00:32:07.460 going to have
00:32:07.820 them.
00:32:09.880 That tells me
00:32:10.820 that the
00:32:11.200 Ukrainians will
00:32:11.980 eventually stall
00:32:12.900 their tanks and
00:32:15.740 start picking them
00:32:16.940 off until the
00:32:18.460 Russian army has
00:32:19.200 to dissolve or
00:32:21.540 disappear.
00:32:22.320 So I think
00:32:25.240 that the
00:32:25.840 Ukrainian strategy
00:32:27.760 of going for
00:32:28.460 supply routes and
00:32:30.160 tanks and
00:32:31.520 nothing else, I
00:32:32.580 mean basically you
00:32:33.320 could just go for
00:32:33.880 those, that would
00:32:35.000 be enough to win
00:32:35.600 the war.
00:32:36.980 So they have the
00:32:37.980 morale, they have
00:32:40.120 the strategy, they've
00:32:41.540 got the
00:32:41.880 communication, they've
00:32:43.380 got the
00:32:43.720 coordination, they've
00:32:45.040 got the satellite
00:32:45.640 view so they can
00:32:46.500 find stuff, they've
00:32:47.880 got the modern
00:32:48.460 equipment that's
00:32:49.200 better than the
00:32:49.820 tanks, in other
00:32:50.580 words they can
00:32:51.000 destroy the tanks,
00:32:52.320 what would ever
00:32:54.500 stop them from
00:32:56.640 losing, I mean
00:32:58.480 Russia from
00:32:58.960 losing?
00:32:59.740 How in the
00:33:00.240 world, so I'm
00:33:04.080 seeing Richard, I
00:33:06.140 call him Dick,
00:33:07.320 asking if I went
00:33:08.860 to West Point.
00:33:10.560 And I would like
00:33:11.580 to defend my
00:33:12.400 military opinions
00:33:14.760 this way.
00:33:18.060 Rock always beats
00:33:19.380 scissors.
00:33:19.940 scissors.
00:33:21.700 You don't have to
00:33:22.620 be a military
00:33:23.260 expert to know
00:33:25.080 that rock beats
00:33:25.800 scissors.
00:33:27.660 Right?
00:33:28.020 If one side had
00:33:29.120 nuclear weapons and
00:33:30.180 the other had
00:33:30.760 sticks and stones,
00:33:32.560 would you have to
00:33:33.240 be a military
00:33:33.840 expert to predict
00:33:35.360 who would win if,
00:33:36.540 let's say, they all
00:33:37.180 used all of their
00:33:37.860 weapons?
00:33:38.620 Probably not.
00:33:39.780 You don't have to
00:33:40.440 be a military
00:33:41.060 expert to know
00:33:42.600 that there is
00:33:43.480 some number of
00:33:44.640 handheld anti-tank
00:33:46.160 weapons that is
00:33:48.040 enough to defeat
00:33:49.480 a given quantity
00:33:50.920 of tanks.
00:33:51.840 Wouldn't you
00:33:52.200 agree with that?
00:33:54.080 That given a
00:33:54.840 certain number
00:33:56.000 of tanks,
00:33:57.040 it's only a
00:33:58.200 question of how
00:33:58.780 many people with
00:33:59.600 handheld shoulder
00:34:00.580 mounts there
00:34:01.780 are.
00:34:02.640 That's the only
00:34:03.180 question.
00:34:04.080 If there are
00:34:04.500 enough of them,
00:34:05.060 then the tanks
00:34:05.580 all go away.
00:34:07.140 Now, I've heard
00:34:08.180 much said about
00:34:09.060 the Russians'
00:34:09.920 lack of
00:34:10.660 coordination of
00:34:11.460 forces.
00:34:11.780 So, if you've
00:34:13.800 got a tank
00:34:14.560 formation, you
00:34:16.280 need to support
00:34:16.920 it with, what
00:34:19.360 do you call it,
00:34:19.700 infantry?
00:34:20.840 You need to
00:34:21.520 support it with
00:34:21.960 air cover.
00:34:22.640 And apparently
00:34:23.080 they're not doing
00:34:23.760 a good job of
00:34:24.560 supporting it.
00:34:26.220 I don't know
00:34:27.060 that that's going
00:34:27.720 to help them.
00:34:29.360 How much would
00:34:30.340 air support help
00:34:32.020 to stop two
00:34:33.980 Ukrainians with a
00:34:35.260 shoulder-mounted
00:34:35.960 rocket?
00:34:37.160 Do you stop that
00:34:38.180 with air support?
00:34:38.760 I can't imagine
00:34:42.380 that would be a
00:34:42.880 thing.
00:34:43.840 Can you find two
00:34:44.740 people in a
00:34:45.360 forest with air
00:34:47.060 support?
00:34:50.080 I mean, you can
00:34:50.840 hear the jet
00:34:51.320 coming, so you
00:34:52.060 just stand next to
00:34:52.960 a tree when it
00:34:53.540 goes over, right?
00:34:55.000 It just seems to
00:34:55.940 me that there are
00:34:57.260 some things that
00:34:57.860 are so plainly
00:34:58.600 obvious you don't
00:34:59.280 need to be a
00:34:59.800 military expert to
00:35:00.820 know.
00:35:01.940 If I said to
00:35:02.820 you, the United
00:35:04.020 States is going to
00:35:05.420 enter the war,
00:35:06.820 would you wonder
00:35:07.780 if our warthogs
00:35:10.820 could take out
00:35:11.460 the Russian
00:35:12.700 columns of, no,
00:35:15.020 you wouldn't
00:35:15.400 wonder that.
00:35:16.680 That's just rock
00:35:18.120 beats scissors,
00:35:19.660 right?
00:35:20.300 One weapon is
00:35:21.200 better than the
00:35:21.660 other weapon,
00:35:22.080 that's all it is.
00:35:23.300 So I don't think
00:35:24.180 you have to be
00:35:24.640 much of a
00:35:25.260 military genius to
00:35:26.380 know that rock
00:35:26.880 beats scissors
00:35:28.220 every time.
00:35:29.980 And I think
00:35:30.560 that's what we
00:35:31.060 have.
00:35:31.700 They need tanks,
00:35:33.480 they're not going
00:35:34.080 to have them.
00:35:35.660 Am I right?
00:35:36.140 Let's take it
00:35:37.820 down to that
00:35:38.600 level and see
00:35:39.460 if I'm wrong.
00:35:40.460 They can't
00:35:41.240 conquer the
00:35:42.460 cities and hold
00:35:43.440 them without
00:35:43.820 tanks, and
00:35:44.820 they won't have
00:35:45.360 them.
00:35:46.320 I think that's
00:35:47.140 it.
00:35:47.480 That's the end
00:35:47.920 of the war.
00:35:49.460 You know, as
00:35:50.160 long as the
00:35:50.640 Ukrainians have
00:35:51.200 food, and it
00:35:52.740 looks like that's
00:35:54.320 happening, I
00:35:55.660 think they just
00:35:57.280 keep fighting.
00:35:58.360 I think Russia's
00:35:59.060 got to figure out
00:35:59.720 how to get out
00:36:00.480 of there.
00:36:02.700 All right, there
00:36:03.580 was a deep fake
00:36:04.360 Putin.
00:36:04.740 Putin, I'm
00:36:05.620 wondering why
00:36:06.080 there haven't
00:36:06.360 been more of
00:36:06.860 those.
00:36:07.540 Apparently, the
00:36:08.280 deep fake Putin
00:36:10.340 was saying that
00:36:11.120 Russia surrenders
00:36:12.240 or something.
00:36:14.820 So we're not
00:36:15.560 quite at the
00:36:16.200 point where the
00:36:17.100 deep fake isn't
00:36:17.920 a little bit
00:36:18.460 obvious when you
00:36:19.080 look at it, but
00:36:21.040 it's really close.
00:36:23.000 And I would
00:36:23.460 guess that if our
00:36:25.120 government tried to
00:36:26.000 make a deep fake,
00:36:26.900 it would look just
00:36:27.500 like the real
00:36:28.000 thing.
00:36:28.880 Whereas some
00:36:29.980 person with a
00:36:31.080 computer tries to
00:36:31.860 make one, it's
00:36:32.640 still pretty good,
00:36:33.480 but it's not
00:36:35.340 like a
00:36:35.700 counterfeit bill.
00:36:36.920 The United
00:36:37.520 States can make
00:36:38.280 a $20 bill that's
00:36:41.140 got all the
00:36:41.560 technology in it and
00:36:42.720 it's hard to
00:36:43.360 counterfeit.
00:36:44.620 But a person can't
00:36:46.040 usually do that.
00:36:47.360 So what happens
00:36:47.940 when governments
00:36:48.600 get involved making
00:36:49.560 deep fakes?
00:36:51.420 Back in the
00:36:52.200 bin Laden times,
00:36:54.280 when I thought we
00:36:55.240 had enough technology
00:36:56.060 to do it, I
00:36:56.700 thought we should
00:36:57.380 be doing that
00:36:58.040 because nobody
00:36:58.920 knows where bin
00:36:59.760 Laden is.
00:37:00.320 everybody seems
00:37:01.600 to be taking
00:37:02.220 directions from
00:37:04.080 it.
00:37:04.760 We should create
00:37:05.480 a deep fake,
00:37:06.980 and so nobody
00:37:07.720 knows if they're
00:37:08.280 getting the real
00:37:08.780 bin Laden or
00:37:09.380 the deep fake.
00:37:10.660 In fact, we
00:37:11.180 should make more
00:37:11.660 deep fakes than
00:37:12.300 real ones, so
00:37:13.600 every time you
00:37:14.160 got some bin
00:37:15.120 Laden information,
00:37:16.040 you'd be like,
00:37:16.520 I don't know,
00:37:17.920 maybe, can't
00:37:19.660 tell.
00:37:22.340 That's what I
00:37:22.980 would have done,
00:37:23.680 but maybe the
00:37:24.200 technology wasn't
00:37:24.900 there.
00:37:26.700 Well, the
00:37:27.240 hacker group
00:37:27.740 anonymous, as a
00:37:29.320 you know, renewed
00:37:30.580 their call for
00:37:31.520 all hackers to
00:37:32.380 attack Russia
00:37:34.040 for their
00:37:34.600 inhumane war
00:37:35.860 on Ukraine.
00:37:37.640 Are you
00:37:38.440 wondering why
00:37:39.280 the lights are
00:37:40.020 still on in
00:37:40.740 Kiev, and
00:37:41.820 are you
00:37:43.160 wondering why
00:37:43.700 the Russian
00:37:44.380 so-called
00:37:45.300 their great
00:37:46.900 cyber capabilities
00:37:48.580 have made no
00:37:49.280 difference at
00:37:49.780 all?
00:37:50.860 Is it my
00:37:51.780 imagination, or
00:37:53.000 did the cyber
00:37:53.840 abilities of
00:37:54.780 Russia turn out
00:37:56.720 to be completely
00:37:57.620 irrelevant?
00:37:59.320 I think we
00:38:09.500 have a big
00:38:09.800 question mark
00:38:10.380 about all
00:38:10.780 those cyber
00:38:12.820 capabilities that
00:38:13.720 seem to
00:38:14.080 disappear.
00:38:15.920 All right,
00:38:16.420 I believe
00:38:19.620 that is all
00:38:20.540 the fun
00:38:20.900 news, and
00:38:23.220 did I miss
00:38:25.260 anything?
00:38:25.520 you know, I
00:38:27.860 looked at
00:38:28.280 CNN, as
00:38:29.000 soon as I
00:38:29.320 saw on
00:38:29.680 Twitter, all
00:38:30.620 the noise
00:38:31.560 about the
00:38:32.060 laptop being
00:38:32.880 confirmed, I
00:38:34.480 immediately went
00:38:35.080 to CNN to
00:38:36.860 see how they
00:38:37.420 covered the
00:38:38.280 fact that their
00:38:39.040 news had been
00:38:39.660 wrong for
00:38:40.860 years on a
00:38:42.380 really important
00:38:43.180 story.
00:38:45.060 I don't think
00:38:46.080 they mentioned
00:38:46.480 it.
00:38:48.160 Can you
00:38:48.580 confirm that?
00:38:49.500 Does anybody
00:38:49.940 have another
00:38:50.440 page open?
00:38:51.200 go look at
00:38:52.260 CNN.
00:38:54.960 I don't
00:38:55.820 believe that
00:38:57.520 they're even
00:38:57.960 mentioning that
00:38:58.640 the New York
00:38:59.000 Times confirmed
00:38:59.740 it's real.
00:39:04.820 There's a
00:39:05.440 Putin rally.
00:39:10.260 What do I
00:39:10.960 think will
00:39:11.280 happen with
00:39:11.720 the Hunter
00:39:12.020 situation?
00:39:13.120 I think the
00:39:13.780 Hunter situation
00:39:14.560 will be
00:39:15.440 investigated until
00:39:18.880 Joe Biden's
00:39:19.740 end of office.
00:39:21.200 So I think
00:39:21.800 the Biden
00:39:22.220 administration
00:39:22.860 as it stands
00:39:23.640 will never
00:39:24.140 have to
00:39:24.500 answer for
00:39:25.060 it.
00:39:26.760 And then
00:39:27.480 after he's
00:39:28.180 out of
00:39:28.440 office, he'll
00:39:29.140 still have
00:39:29.620 lots of
00:39:30.140 connections.
00:39:31.300 There'll be
00:39:31.640 some kind
00:39:32.280 of a
00:39:33.640 Jussie
00:39:34.720 Smollett
00:39:35.400 kind of a
00:39:36.540 situation
00:39:36.980 where maybe
00:39:38.780 justice acts
00:39:40.000 but when it's
00:39:41.540 done, Hunter
00:39:42.980 serves 10
00:39:43.600 days in jail
00:39:44.280 and suspended
00:39:46.080 sentence or
00:39:46.760 something.
00:39:47.480 I feel like
00:39:48.380 something will
00:39:49.740 happen that's
00:39:50.680 nothing.
00:39:51.920 Because they
00:39:52.460 can't do
00:39:52.780 nothing,
00:39:53.220 nothing.
00:39:53.920 They have to
00:39:54.540 do something.
00:39:55.520 But they
00:39:55.980 can't do
00:39:56.360 something that
00:39:56.880 matters, so
00:39:57.920 they have to
00:39:58.280 do something
00:39:58.740 that's nothing,
00:39:59.680 like with
00:40:00.140 Jussie.
00:40:01.320 Well, you're
00:40:02.500 going to jail.
00:40:03.060 Well, not
00:40:03.380 really going to
00:40:04.080 jail.
00:40:05.300 And by going
00:40:05.820 to jail, I
00:40:06.360 mean you'll
00:40:06.700 not go to
00:40:07.220 jail.
00:40:08.280 That sort of
00:40:08.980 thing.
00:40:09.980 Now, one of
00:40:10.720 the things that
00:40:11.180 Hunter apparently
00:40:11.900 did is he
00:40:13.500 paid a million
00:40:14.120 dollars of
00:40:14.640 taxes after it
00:40:16.440 was due.
00:40:16.820 But you
00:40:17.820 don't really
00:40:18.400 go to jail
00:40:19.060 too often,
00:40:20.540 even for not
00:40:21.260 paying taxes,
00:40:22.600 if you
00:40:23.020 voluntarily paid
00:40:24.020 them before
00:40:24.880 you got to
00:40:26.040 court.
00:40:27.240 So apparently
00:40:27.900 juries and
00:40:29.140 judges, they
00:40:30.440 look more
00:40:31.660 leniently on
00:40:32.520 somebody who
00:40:32.960 has paid their
00:40:33.500 bills.
00:40:34.600 If you
00:40:35.240 haven't paid
00:40:35.740 your bills,
00:40:36.220 then maybe
00:40:36.600 you go to
00:40:36.960 jail.
00:40:37.140 But if you
00:40:37.700 have paid
00:40:38.080 your bills,
00:40:38.800 you just
00:40:39.420 didn't do it
00:40:39.860 on time,
00:40:40.500 that's not
00:40:41.940 too different
00:40:42.900 than a lot
00:40:43.640 of America.
00:40:44.920 So if it
00:40:47.620 turned out his
00:40:48.180 only problem
00:40:48.880 was taxes,
00:40:50.080 he doesn't
00:40:50.580 have a
00:40:50.880 problem.
00:40:52.500 It's the
00:40:53.180 other stuff
00:40:53.740 that might
00:40:54.540 be the
00:40:54.780 problem.
00:40:55.880 And I
00:40:56.180 don't know
00:40:56.440 if there's
00:40:56.740 going to
00:40:56.900 be a
00:40:57.320 smoking gun.
00:40:59.800 Or would
00:41:00.140 you say
00:41:00.420 there's already
00:41:00.940 a smoking
00:41:01.500 gun?
00:41:03.120 I don't
00:41:03.380 know, it's
00:41:03.600 like a
00:41:03.940 pre-smoking
00:41:04.580 gun.
00:41:06.200 It's like I
00:41:06.700 can see how
00:41:07.380 it might be
00:41:08.020 a smoking
00:41:08.460 gun, but
00:41:08.960 it's not
00:41:09.220 quite a
00:41:09.680 smoking gun.
00:41:10.280 If you
00:41:10.580 know what
00:41:10.800 I mean.
00:41:11.680 Because the
00:41:12.260 stuff that
00:41:12.640 I've seen
00:41:13.120 from Hunter
00:41:14.260 is definitely
00:41:16.040 eyebrows go
00:41:17.700 all the way
00:41:18.060 up to your
00:41:18.360 forehead.
00:41:18.880 Like, what?
00:41:20.400 10% for the
00:41:21.440 big guy?
00:41:22.080 What?
00:41:23.240 I mean, it
00:41:23.640 sounds like
00:41:24.540 the worst
00:41:24.980 possible thing.
00:41:27.180 But we'll
00:41:28.100 find out.
00:41:28.960 Or we won't.
00:41:29.920 Maybe we'll
00:41:30.440 never find out.
00:41:32.400 But I'd
00:41:32.860 certainly like
00:41:33.340 to get to
00:41:36.120 the bottom
00:41:36.420 of it.
00:41:38.540 Now,
00:41:38.980 watching how
00:41:40.320 the news
00:41:40.940 handles the
00:41:42.120 fake news,
00:41:43.520 it's probably
00:41:45.300 the most
00:41:45.660 frustrating thing
00:41:46.500 I do.
00:41:47.900 Because if
00:41:49.140 they wait
00:41:49.580 long enough,
00:41:50.280 they can just
00:41:50.980 correct their
00:41:51.720 story, but
00:41:52.960 the story no
00:41:53.640 longer is
00:41:54.160 salient.
00:41:55.820 People have
00:41:56.240 just moved
00:41:56.660 on with what
00:41:57.340 they're interested
00:41:57.900 in.
00:41:58.620 So they can
00:41:59.400 just keep the
00:42:00.080 fake news
00:42:00.540 going for
00:42:01.080 years,
00:42:02.380 reverse it
00:42:02.980 whenever nobody's
00:42:03.980 paying much
00:42:04.520 attention,
00:42:04.940 and get
00:42:06.700 away with
00:42:07.060 it completely.
00:42:11.180 Accused of
00:42:11.720 money laundering.
00:42:12.720 Well, we'll
00:42:13.120 see if they
00:42:13.480 can prove
00:42:13.820 that.
00:42:14.880 You know,
00:42:15.060 remember,
00:42:16.000 for all we
00:42:17.460 want to
00:42:17.860 criticize Hunter
00:42:19.080 for,
00:42:20.460 he was
00:42:21.400 a Yale,
00:42:23.760 was he a
00:42:24.480 Yale-trained
00:42:25.780 lawyer?
00:42:27.020 Do I have
00:42:27.380 that right?
00:42:27.760 Yale?
00:42:29.580 Now, he
00:42:30.180 might have
00:42:30.960 gotten in
00:42:31.420 because his
00:42:31.900 father was
00:42:32.540 Joe Biden
00:42:33.580 or something,
00:42:34.340 but I
00:42:34.820 suspect that
00:42:35.700 Hunter Biden
00:42:36.180 is legitimately
00:42:36.980 quite smart.
00:42:38.880 Do you
00:42:39.400 think that's
00:42:39.760 not true?
00:42:40.420 I mean,
00:42:40.660 he's got his
00:42:41.080 issues,
00:42:42.040 no question,
00:42:43.140 but in
00:42:43.560 terms of
00:42:43.980 if you gave
00:42:44.680 him an IQ
00:42:45.200 test,
00:42:46.400 I think he'd
00:42:46.900 do really
00:42:47.260 well.
00:42:48.600 I think.
00:42:49.380 You don't
00:42:49.880 go to Yale
00:42:50.420 and get a
00:42:51.060 degree without
00:42:52.300 being a little
00:42:52.820 bit smart.
00:42:53.300 and he's
00:43:02.840 an artist
00:43:03.180 of sorts.
00:43:06.280 All right.
00:43:09.340 Anyway,
00:43:10.040 keep an eye
00:43:10.700 on that.
00:43:11.660 Keep an eye
00:43:12.200 on that.
00:43:12.740 All right,
00:43:12.960 here's my
00:43:13.300 favorite story
00:43:13.860 of the day.
00:43:14.700 Arnold,
00:43:15.460 did you see
00:43:16.000 Arnold Schwarzenegger's
00:43:17.040 video in which
00:43:18.040 he tried to
00:43:18.500 talk directly
00:43:19.040 to the Russian
00:43:19.520 people?
00:43:19.840 And I
00:43:21.440 gave it a
00:43:22.200 100% rating
00:43:24.280 for persuasion.
00:43:26.720 I'll tell you,
00:43:28.460 I've always
00:43:29.320 liked Arnold.
00:43:31.420 And Arnold
00:43:32.240 is one of the
00:43:33.020 best communicators,
00:43:34.700 which is ironic
00:43:35.600 because, you know,
00:43:36.280 he's got the
00:43:36.660 accent.
00:43:37.700 But Arnold
00:43:38.660 has been one
00:43:39.180 of the best
00:43:39.660 communicators
00:43:40.520 in political
00:43:42.440 or any life.
00:43:44.440 He's just
00:43:45.040 the best.
00:43:45.940 I mean,
00:43:46.260 really,
00:43:47.540 he's better
00:43:48.260 than Trump.
00:43:49.840 Now,
00:43:50.480 Trump's more
00:43:50.920 provocative,
00:43:51.700 so maybe he
00:43:52.160 can get more
00:43:52.560 attention.
00:43:53.320 But in terms
00:43:53.900 of actual
00:43:55.000 persuasion
00:43:55.720 skill,
00:43:57.740 yeah,
00:43:57.980 he's better
00:43:58.360 than Trump.
00:43:59.120 And I don't
00:43:59.480 say that lightly.
00:44:01.380 That's like
00:44:01.940 a big deal.
00:44:03.720 Here's what
00:44:04.280 he did right.
00:44:05.400 Now,
00:44:05.700 first of all,
00:44:06.180 let me acknowledge
00:44:07.000 I saw some
00:44:07.780 pushback on it
00:44:08.580 when I said
00:44:09.120 it was good.
00:44:10.240 A number
00:44:10.620 of people
00:44:10.920 said I
00:44:11.280 turned it
00:44:11.700 off when
00:44:12.740 he said
00:44:13.100 that the
00:44:13.500 January 6th
00:44:14.360 thing was
00:44:14.960 actually an
00:44:15.700 attempt to
00:44:16.200 overthrow the
00:44:16.700 government.
00:44:18.160 Now,
00:44:18.460 I don't
00:44:18.820 believe
00:44:19.200 January 6th
00:44:20.240 was an
00:44:20.640 attempt to
00:44:21.120 overthrow the
00:44:21.660 government.
00:44:22.320 To me,
00:44:22.640 that's obvious
00:44:23.240 fake news.
00:44:25.100 But Arnold
00:44:27.300 wasn't talking
00:44:28.080 to you.
00:44:29.480 He didn't
00:44:29.820 make the
00:44:30.160 video for
00:44:30.660 you.
00:44:31.840 Arnold made
00:44:32.360 a video in
00:44:33.120 which he
00:44:33.420 wanted to
00:44:34.020 demonstrate his
00:44:35.360 credibility
00:44:36.060 before he told
00:44:37.620 the Russian
00:44:38.020 people something
00:44:38.880 that was hard
00:44:39.780 to understand
00:44:40.600 and hear
00:44:41.080 based on the
00:44:42.440 propaganda
00:44:42.880 they've gotten
00:44:43.440 so far.
00:44:43.920 So what
00:44:45.380 Arnold did
00:44:46.140 was perfect
00:44:46.820 technique.
00:44:48.520 He showed
00:44:49.240 how much
00:44:49.580 he loves
00:44:50.120 the Russian
00:44:50.660 people and
00:44:51.260 is connected
00:44:51.840 to them
00:44:52.260 with a
00:44:52.580 personal
00:44:52.940 anecdote
00:44:53.360 of a
00:44:54.440 Russian
00:44:54.700 weightlifter
00:44:55.180 who changed
00:44:55.740 his life
00:44:56.220 and he
00:44:56.460 still drinks
00:44:56.920 out of the
00:44:57.240 same cup
00:44:57.720 of coffee
00:44:58.640 that this
00:44:59.100 guy gave
00:44:59.540 him years
00:44:59.880 ago.
00:45:00.400 And he
00:45:00.760 actually
00:45:00.980 shows you
00:45:01.440 the cup
00:45:01.780 of coffee,
00:45:02.680 the actual
00:45:03.040 cup.
00:45:04.560 And he
00:45:04.780 says,
00:45:05.000 I've been
00:45:05.200 drinking out
00:45:05.640 of this
00:45:05.820 for years
00:45:06.380 because it
00:45:07.160 was given
00:45:07.420 to me
00:45:07.760 by my
00:45:08.140 good friend.
00:45:08.640 And he
00:45:08.760 shows the
00:45:09.080 pictures of
00:45:09.560 the
00:45:09.660 weightlifter.
00:45:11.260 Have I
00:45:11.880 told you
00:45:12.360 that visual
00:45:13.500 persuasion
00:45:14.140 is the
00:45:14.600 good stuff?
00:45:16.000 Oh my
00:45:16.640 God.
00:45:17.960 Arnold took
00:45:18.680 the visual
00:45:19.220 persuasion
00:45:19.880 from actually
00:45:21.040 showing the
00:45:21.760 bodybuilder.
00:45:23.040 Then he
00:45:23.340 talked about
00:45:23.920 the fight
00:45:25.020 he had
00:45:25.320 with his
00:45:25.660 dad who
00:45:26.760 didn't like
00:45:27.240 Russians
00:45:27.580 because he'd
00:45:28.080 been in
00:45:28.340 World War II
00:45:28.860 and his
00:45:29.900 dad wanted
00:45:30.360 to take
00:45:30.820 the Russian
00:45:31.260 off the
00:45:31.600 wall when
00:45:31.980 Arnold was
00:45:32.880 a kid
00:45:33.140 and Arnold
00:45:33.920 refused.
00:45:35.540 Arnold was
00:45:36.360 going to
00:45:36.580 support the
00:45:37.100 Russian guy.
00:45:38.140 Now you've
00:45:38.400 got the
00:45:38.740 visual
00:45:39.560 of him
00:45:40.300 meeting the
00:45:41.420 bodybuilder
00:45:42.040 and he
00:45:42.240 shows the
00:45:42.600 picture.
00:45:43.620 You've got
00:45:43.980 the visual
00:45:44.600 in your
00:45:45.020 mind of
00:45:45.880 a young
00:45:46.320 Arnold
00:45:46.640 with a
00:45:47.220 poster on
00:45:47.680 the wall
00:45:47.980 and then
00:45:48.820 he ends
00:45:49.200 it with
00:45:49.480 the visual
00:45:49.980 of actually
00:45:50.620 holding the
00:45:51.560 coffee cup
00:45:52.100 that that
00:45:52.460 guy gave
00:45:52.920 him.
00:45:54.820 What do
00:45:55.420 I say
00:45:55.740 about visual
00:45:56.500 persuasion?
00:45:57.960 It's the
00:45:58.320 best.
00:45:58.980 I mean
00:45:59.140 fear is
00:45:59.600 the strongest.
00:46:01.060 If you
00:46:01.380 have fear
00:46:01.880 persuasion
00:46:02.360 you can't
00:46:02.760 beat that.
00:46:03.520 But without
00:46:04.000 that the
00:46:05.380 best one
00:46:05.960 is visual.
00:46:07.820 And man
00:46:08.460 did he
00:46:08.740 nail the
00:46:09.240 visual.
00:46:10.100 He nailed
00:46:10.660 it.
00:46:11.300 Here's the
00:46:11.660 other thing
00:46:12.000 I teach
00:46:12.360 you.
00:46:13.440 You have
00:46:13.900 to pace
00:46:14.480 people before
00:46:15.220 you can
00:46:15.640 lead them.
00:46:16.720 You have
00:46:17.280 to agree
00:46:17.740 with them
00:46:18.200 before you
00:46:18.680 can change
00:46:19.100 their mind.
00:46:20.480 He did
00:46:20.900 it masterfully
00:46:21.880 including,
00:46:23.280 and I know
00:46:23.680 you don't
00:46:23.960 like this,
00:46:25.360 sorry,
00:46:26.720 the January
00:46:27.300 6th part.
00:46:28.780 If you
00:46:29.300 don't think
00:46:29.720 that was
00:46:30.160 good persuasion
00:46:30.980 because it's
00:46:32.280 untrue,
00:46:33.060 you're on
00:46:34.140 the wrong
00:46:34.460 conversation.
00:46:35.040 I'm not
00:46:36.100 saying he
00:46:36.500 was right.
00:46:37.760 I'm saying
00:46:38.240 that if he
00:46:38.800 was talking
00:46:39.160 to a
00:46:39.520 Russian
00:46:39.800 public and
00:46:41.300 he says,
00:46:41.720 look, you
00:46:42.360 can trust
00:46:42.820 me, I'll
00:46:43.620 be even
00:46:43.900 throwing my
00:46:44.400 own party
00:46:44.980 under the
00:46:45.340 bus.
00:46:45.860 Remember, he's
00:46:46.300 a Republican.
00:46:47.820 Arnold's a
00:46:48.300 Republican who's
00:46:49.920 throwing other
00:46:50.520 Republicans under
00:46:51.340 the bus.
00:46:52.160 He's saying,
00:46:52.580 look, I'm
00:46:53.540 throwing Republicans
00:46:54.340 under the bus,
00:46:55.080 you can see me
00:46:55.600 do it right
00:46:55.980 now.
00:46:56.180 Now, that
00:46:59.500 makes him
00:46:59.900 wrong about
00:47:00.500 January 6th,
00:47:01.500 in my opinion.
00:47:02.220 But it
00:47:03.720 does make
00:47:04.180 him a
00:47:04.840 really good
00:47:05.320 persuader.
00:47:06.520 Because he's
00:47:07.120 trying to
00:47:07.620 establish his
00:47:08.400 credibility.
00:47:10.160 And let
00:47:11.140 me ask you
00:47:11.480 another thing.
00:47:13.540 Is Arnold
00:47:14.280 Schwarzenegger
00:47:15.060 famous for
00:47:16.200 telling it
00:47:17.380 straight,
00:47:18.300 or is he
00:47:19.260 famous for
00:47:19.840 lying?
00:47:22.080 What do
00:47:22.820 you think?
00:47:23.540 Just your
00:47:24.080 own opinion.
00:47:25.460 Is Arnold
00:47:26.340 famous for
00:47:27.200 lying, or
00:47:28.560 famous for
00:47:29.140 being pretty
00:47:29.760 much a
00:47:30.080 straight shooter?
00:47:30.580 I think
00:47:32.600 he's famous
00:47:33.020 for being
00:47:33.380 a straight
00:47:33.720 shooter.
00:47:35.380 I mean,
00:47:35.720 maybe some
00:47:37.200 story I don't
00:47:37.820 know about,
00:47:38.800 but I don't
00:47:39.360 think he's
00:47:39.740 ever been
00:47:40.200 accused of
00:47:40.960 not giving
00:47:41.580 you his
00:47:41.900 honest opinion,
00:47:43.520 even if he
00:47:44.240 didn't like
00:47:44.660 it.
00:47:45.400 So even the
00:47:45.940 January 6th
00:47:46.600 stuff, I
00:47:46.960 kind of hate,
00:47:47.960 but I do
00:47:48.380 love his
00:47:48.780 transparency.
00:47:50.960 I love the
00:47:51.760 fact that his
00:47:52.240 opinion is
00:47:52.800 very clear,
00:47:54.200 and he said
00:47:54.960 it, and it
00:47:55.300 was against
00:47:55.680 the grain,
00:47:56.360 and, you
00:47:57.660 know, okay.
00:47:59.220 I don't agree
00:47:59.900 with it, but I
00:48:00.420 respect it
00:48:00.980 completely.
00:48:02.040 Now, I
00:48:02.680 think that
00:48:03.140 this is a
00:48:03.600 bigger deal
00:48:04.140 than maybe
00:48:04.900 you think,
00:48:06.160 because,
00:48:06.960 correct me if
00:48:07.440 I'm wrong,
00:48:07.880 but I'll bet
00:48:08.260 Arnold is
00:48:08.880 really popular
00:48:09.700 in the Russian
00:48:11.080 public, am
00:48:12.040 I right?
00:48:12.520 You know,
00:48:12.800 above a certain
00:48:13.460 age, and
00:48:13.980 that's probably
00:48:15.020 what he's
00:48:15.340 targeting.
00:48:17.240 I would
00:48:17.840 guess, because
00:48:18.540 he's made
00:48:19.000 movies with,
00:48:19.860 you know,
00:48:20.080 Russian elements
00:48:20.880 in it, I
00:48:21.260 think he's,
00:48:21.980 and he's an
00:48:22.380 action figure,
00:48:23.180 so those
00:48:23.520 always play
00:48:24.040 bigger overseas.
00:48:25.520 So I would
00:48:26.300 guess that Arnold
00:48:26.920 is maybe just
00:48:27.900 about the exact
00:48:28.780 perfect person,
00:48:29.860 because he's
00:48:30.420 not just a
00:48:31.140 star, he's
00:48:32.440 also a
00:48:33.120 legitimate
00:48:33.460 political figure
00:48:34.700 in America.
00:48:36.900 And when he
00:48:37.340 talked to the
00:48:37.940 Russian people,
00:48:39.000 he did a
00:48:39.640 really good
00:48:40.380 job of
00:48:41.060 establishing
00:48:41.620 his non-bias
00:48:44.000 and his
00:48:45.120 credibility, a
00:48:46.560 really good
00:48:47.200 job.
00:48:47.880 Some said it
00:48:48.540 lasted too
00:48:49.140 long, but he
00:48:51.000 made it
00:48:51.300 interesting the
00:48:51.920 whole time.
00:48:53.120 I'm not sure
00:48:53.700 if it lasted
00:48:54.220 too long, if
00:48:54.820 it's interesting
00:48:55.520 the whole time.
00:48:56.160 And he
00:48:56.860 made it
00:48:57.180 interesting,
00:48:57.620 because he's
00:48:57.960 a performer.
00:48:59.140 It was a
00:48:59.660 performance.
00:49:00.640 It wasn't a
00:49:01.320 speech, it was a
00:49:01.940 performance, and
00:49:02.620 it was a good
00:49:03.020 one.
00:49:03.780 And by the
00:49:04.140 way, anything
00:49:06.000 you ever thought
00:49:06.780 about Arnold's
00:49:07.620 acting ability?
00:49:09.780 Well, my
00:49:10.380 opinion of it
00:49:10.980 went up,
00:49:11.840 because this
00:49:13.140 was an act,
00:49:14.120 I mean,
00:49:14.920 overtly.
00:49:15.900 He was putting
00:49:16.860 on a show for
00:49:17.720 a purpose, to
00:49:18.540 persuade.
00:49:19.360 I think he
00:49:19.920 nailed it.
00:49:21.020 I mean, I
00:49:21.300 think it's, not
00:49:22.240 only is it
00:49:23.140 persuasion perfect,
00:49:25.100 even though you
00:49:25.780 don't like parts
00:49:26.420 of it, the
00:49:27.020 persuasion part's
00:49:27.720 perfect.
00:49:30.160 And he's the
00:49:30.840 right person at
00:49:31.440 the right time.
00:49:32.600 I think he
00:49:33.180 could actually
00:49:33.600 move the
00:49:34.020 dial.
00:49:34.820 Now, the
00:49:35.100 problem is,
00:49:36.160 will any
00:49:36.660 Russians actually
00:49:37.320 see it?
00:49:37.780 And by the
00:49:38.100 way, there
00:49:38.340 was a
00:49:38.660 translation that
00:49:39.460 came with
00:49:39.800 it, which
00:49:40.880 is good
00:49:41.360 technique.
00:49:45.160 We don't
00:49:45.740 care if he's
00:49:46.200 a rhino.
00:49:47.280 That's not the
00:49:47.960 question today.
00:49:48.660 I mean, you
00:49:48.980 could care about
00:49:49.520 it separately, but
00:49:51.060 it doesn't
00:49:51.400 matter to
00:49:51.860 today's topic.
00:49:52.880 Yeah, it
00:49:55.120 doesn't matter
00:49:55.500 what he did in
00:49:56.000 his personal
00:49:56.400 life, right?
00:50:00.160 Okay.
00:50:01.100 Well, from the
00:50:01.900 Russian perspective,
00:50:03.240 as long as they
00:50:04.300 think he's
00:50:04.940 Republican enough,
00:50:06.900 then it's good
00:50:07.900 persuasion.
00:50:08.500 That's the only
00:50:08.920 point.
00:50:13.880 You used to
00:50:14.780 admire him, but
00:50:15.500 now you don't.
00:50:16.920 Do you think he
00:50:17.540 actually wrote it?
00:50:20.500 That's a good
00:50:21.140 question.
00:50:22.340 It's so good
00:50:23.460 that I suspect
00:50:25.080 he might have.
00:50:26.760 So if he
00:50:27.260 didn't write it,
00:50:27.880 he was obviously
00:50:28.540 deeply involved in
00:50:29.560 editing it.
00:50:30.380 My guess is he
00:50:31.120 probably had a
00:50:31.600 little help, but
00:50:33.620 that there's no
00:50:34.540 word in there
00:50:35.120 that isn't one
00:50:36.520 he wants in
00:50:37.080 there.
00:50:38.020 My guess is that
00:50:38.940 Arnold isn't
00:50:39.460 going to take
00:50:39.820 somebody else's
00:50:40.480 thing and just
00:50:41.000 read it.
00:50:42.740 Is that your
00:50:43.400 take?
00:50:44.300 I mean, Arnold's
00:50:44.960 kind of hands-on,
00:50:45.840 right?
00:50:46.380 He's not going to
00:50:48.240 just say, oh,
00:50:49.060 just go on camera
00:50:49.940 and read this thing
00:50:50.620 and make it
00:50:51.040 convincing.
00:50:51.580 That's not
00:50:51.880 going to
00:50:52.020 happen.
00:50:52.560 It looks like
00:50:53.160 he wrote it.
00:50:54.040 I mean, he's
00:50:54.340 the only one
00:50:54.780 who knew about
00:50:55.340 his connection
00:50:56.880 to the Russian
00:50:57.640 weightlifter and
00:50:59.540 what happened
00:51:00.020 when he was a
00:51:00.520 kid and stuff.
00:51:01.800 So, I don't
00:51:02.440 know.
00:51:02.520 It just seems
00:51:02.960 to me that
00:51:03.500 seeing Hunter
00:51:07.580 Biden memes
00:51:08.200 go by.
00:51:13.540 Scott is
00:51:14.200 working to
00:51:14.700 get into a
00:51:15.200 different set
00:51:15.760 of clubs.
00:51:16.340 You know,
00:51:17.980 everybody who
00:51:18.720 goes tribal
00:51:20.780 on here
00:51:21.200 and your
00:51:23.420 comment is
00:51:24.240 what club
00:51:25.460 I'm trying
00:51:25.900 to join
00:51:26.380 or if I'm
00:51:27.760 trying to
00:51:28.140 make some
00:51:28.800 Democrats
00:51:29.260 happy or
00:51:30.000 sometimes you
00:51:30.900 say, I think
00:51:31.520 he wants to
00:51:31.980 sleep with
00:51:32.440 AOC.
00:51:33.920 All of those
00:51:34.720 comments are
00:51:35.220 the lowest
00:51:35.780 level of
00:51:36.440 analysis.
00:51:37.880 Really.
00:51:38.360 I mean, you're
00:51:39.640 welcome to
00:51:40.300 participate.
00:51:41.700 Of course, you're
00:51:42.180 all welcome.
00:51:43.380 But just know
00:51:44.960 when you say
00:51:45.360 that, that other
00:51:45.920 people read and
00:51:46.540 they're like,
00:51:47.000 if your only
00:51:49.280 take on this
00:51:49.920 is tribal,
00:51:51.400 about how
00:51:52.160 Republican is
00:51:53.300 Arnold, like
00:51:54.840 that's the thing
00:51:55.380 that mattered
00:51:55.700 to you.
00:51:56.800 And is Scott
00:51:57.880 always on the
00:51:58.680 side of the
00:51:59.220 same side?
00:52:00.440 Sometimes does
00:52:01.120 he agree with
00:52:01.580 the other?
00:52:01.900 If any of that
00:52:02.620 matters to you,
00:52:04.020 you're operating
00:52:04.680 at the lowest
00:52:05.480 level of
00:52:06.860 analysis.
00:52:08.360 And I'm,
00:52:12.480 you know, I'm
00:52:13.000 not saying that
00:52:13.700 tribal affiliations
00:52:15.860 don't matter,
00:52:16.580 they do.
00:52:17.700 But if that's
00:52:18.420 what you're
00:52:18.700 obsessed with,
00:52:20.320 you don't have
00:52:21.380 any value.
00:52:23.100 You have no
00:52:24.160 value.
00:52:25.960 Because everybody
00:52:26.860 knows that
00:52:27.780 things are
00:52:28.420 tribal.
00:52:29.400 Like, you're
00:52:29.980 not adding
00:52:30.560 anything.
00:52:37.240 The Russian
00:52:38.120 captions make
00:52:38.900 me think it
00:52:39.300 was produced
00:52:39.840 by a
00:52:40.280 propaganda
00:52:40.660 outfit.
00:52:41.960 Well, here's
00:52:43.900 my question.
00:52:44.800 Do you think
00:52:45.160 the government
00:52:45.680 asked Arnold
00:52:47.180 to do it?
00:52:48.220 Or do you
00:52:48.680 think Arnold
00:52:49.080 just came up
00:52:49.700 with the idea
00:52:50.200 on his own?
00:52:53.560 The existence
00:52:54.400 of the high
00:52:55.940 quality Russian
00:52:56.800 translation that
00:52:57.780 accompanied it
00:52:58.540 suggests he
00:52:59.880 had some
00:53:00.680 help.
00:53:02.900 I mean, I
00:53:03.380 don't think he
00:53:03.820 put the Russian
00:53:04.360 translation on
00:53:05.140 there himself.
00:53:08.600 So I would
00:53:09.460 guess that
00:53:10.060 somebody in
00:53:12.660 the administration
00:53:13.700 may have
00:53:14.820 reached him
00:53:15.260 or in
00:53:15.640 intelligence.
00:53:16.720 Because it
00:53:17.120 looks like a
00:53:17.980 combination of
00:53:18.920 government
00:53:20.660 level and
00:53:23.200 Arnold level.
00:53:24.020 It looks like
00:53:24.480 a combo.
00:53:27.000 My perception
00:53:27.860 is that Scott
00:53:28.520 has been got
00:53:29.260 to over
00:53:29.920 Ukraine
00:53:30.460 persuasion.
00:53:33.280 Is there
00:53:34.240 anybody who
00:53:34.700 thinks that
00:53:35.160 the Ukrainians
00:53:35.940 have persuaded
00:53:36.680 me and
00:53:39.000 that I'm
00:53:40.340 believing
00:53:40.700 their propaganda?
00:53:43.520 Who thinks?
00:53:44.880 So he says,
00:53:45.600 yes, clearly.
00:53:47.340 All right,
00:53:47.680 well, let me
00:53:48.220 say as clearly
00:53:48.800 as possible.
00:53:50.220 You shouldn't
00:53:50.740 believe anything
00:53:51.340 that Ukraine
00:53:51.860 says.
00:53:54.060 Is that
00:53:54.740 clear enough?
00:53:55.780 If you believe
00:53:56.760 even one
00:53:57.480 fucking word
00:53:58.340 that the
00:53:59.280 Ukrainians are
00:54:00.080 saying during
00:54:00.680 a war of
00:54:01.480 survival?
00:54:04.180 Why?
00:54:05.560 And why
00:54:06.260 would you
00:54:06.540 think I
00:54:06.900 would believe
00:54:07.320 Ukraine?
00:54:08.480 Ukraine is
00:54:09.320 the most
00:54:09.700 corrupt,
00:54:10.380 one of the
00:54:10.840 most corrupt
00:54:11.340 governments
00:54:11.940 involved in
00:54:13.540 a war.
00:54:15.960 You can't
00:54:16.720 believe anything
00:54:17.240 they say.
00:54:19.100 Somebody says
00:54:19.640 I'm a
00:54:19.940 Zelensky
00:54:20.460 apologist.
00:54:21.680 I've told you
00:54:22.200 an apologist
00:54:22.620 is a sign
00:54:24.020 for you
00:54:24.360 having
00:54:24.620 cognitive
00:54:25.200 dissonance,
00:54:25.800 right?
00:54:25.960 So why
00:54:28.880 do you
00:54:29.100 think that
00:54:29.540 I'm
00:54:29.840 pro-Ukrainian
00:54:31.760 or I'm
00:54:33.740 believing
00:54:34.040 their propaganda
00:54:34.900 when I
00:54:35.700 tell you
00:54:35.960 I don't
00:54:36.180 believe any
00:54:36.580 of it,
00:54:37.140 like zero
00:54:37.580 of it,
00:54:38.680 none of
00:54:39.060 it?
00:54:39.640 And I
00:54:40.160 strongly
00:54:41.100 recommend
00:54:41.700 that you
00:54:42.620 don't
00:54:42.800 believe any
00:54:43.200 of it.
00:54:44.560 The only
00:54:45.080 things you
00:54:45.420 can believe
00:54:45.800 are the
00:54:46.060 things that
00:54:46.360 are sort
00:54:46.640 of obvious.
00:54:47.560 There's a
00:54:48.000 war,
00:54:48.740 it's in
00:54:49.520 Ukraine,
00:54:50.600 just basic
00:54:51.320 stuff,
00:54:51.660 that's all
00:54:51.960 you know.
00:54:52.760 And otherwise
00:54:53.340 we're all
00:54:53.760 just sort
00:54:54.120 of guessing
00:54:54.500 because the
00:54:56.000 news is
00:54:56.480 fake and
00:54:58.000 everybody's
00:54:58.480 lying.
00:54:59.620 So if you
00:55:00.340 don't start
00:55:00.800 from the
00:55:01.160 premise that
00:55:01.640 all the
00:55:02.040 news is
00:55:02.420 fake and
00:55:02.760 everybody's
00:55:03.220 lying,
00:55:04.540 then everything's
00:55:05.340 confusing to
00:55:06.060 you.
00:55:07.000 So when you
00:55:07.840 say that I
00:55:08.620 have been
00:55:08.920 co-opted by
00:55:09.720 propaganda,
00:55:10.920 how exactly
00:55:11.700 do you get
00:55:12.200 co-opted by
00:55:13.400 propaganda that
00:55:14.480 you are
00:55:14.820 absolutely sure
00:55:15.640 is false?
00:55:17.600 I mean,
00:55:17.940 I suppose it
00:55:18.480 could,
00:55:18.880 but if I
00:55:21.560 talk about
00:55:22.200 Ukraine winning
00:55:23.280 the war,
00:55:24.360 it's not
00:55:24.760 because I
00:55:26.960 even,
00:55:27.480 I'm not
00:55:27.860 even sure
00:55:28.240 I'm that
00:55:28.600 invested,
00:55:29.360 honestly.
00:55:30.520 I don't
00:55:31.100 know if I'm
00:55:31.500 that invested
00:55:32.100 because,
00:55:34.740 I don't
00:55:35.720 know,
00:55:36.740 Ukrainians
00:55:37.340 had some
00:55:37.720 issues.
00:55:38.860 I'm not
00:55:39.340 sure that it
00:55:39.880 matters to
00:55:40.480 the United
00:55:40.860 States who
00:55:41.360 owns Ukraine.
00:55:42.660 I just
00:55:43.020 don't know
00:55:43.320 that it
00:55:43.580 matters to
00:55:43.980 us.
00:55:44.700 So I
00:55:45.240 don't think
00:55:45.780 I have
00:55:45.980 that,
00:55:46.200 the personal
00:55:48.060 interest in
00:55:48.660 it.
00:55:49.340 I do have
00:55:49.980 an interest
00:55:50.420 that dictators
00:55:51.440 can't conquer
00:55:52.280 countries.
00:55:54.200 Like,
00:55:54.480 I have an
00:55:54.740 interest in
00:55:55.120 that.
00:55:55.560 Because that,
00:55:56.380 in some ways,
00:55:57.260 you could look
00:55:57.660 at the
00:55:58.000 Ukraine situation
00:55:59.140 as being
00:56:01.820 entirely about
00:56:02.740 China.
00:56:03.700 Have you
00:56:03.980 ever thought
00:56:04.340 of that?
00:56:05.960 Have you
00:56:06.260 ever thought
00:56:06.640 that the
00:56:06.980 situation in
00:56:07.680 Ukraine is
00:56:08.440 not even
00:56:09.080 about Russia?
00:56:10.320 It's just
00:56:10.740 about China?
00:56:12.220 Because whatever
00:56:13.100 happens here is
00:56:14.040 going to tell
00:56:14.500 China what they
00:56:15.200 can get away
00:56:15.700 with, right?
00:56:17.320 So if Ukraine
00:56:18.340 doesn't go well
00:56:19.280 for Russia,
00:56:21.420 Taiwan is safer,
00:56:22.280 right?
00:56:23.000 Remember I
00:56:23.580 told you
00:56:23.980 that if you
00:56:25.980 were to arm
00:56:26.540 the Taiwan
00:56:27.340 population with
00:56:30.240 these same
00:56:30.620 weapons, and
00:56:32.520 China had to
00:56:33.440 get there by
00:56:34.020 sea, for the
00:56:35.780 most part?
00:56:36.780 I don't know.
00:56:37.820 I'm not even
00:56:38.320 sure China could
00:56:39.020 conquer Taiwan
00:56:39.920 without destroying
00:56:40.680 it totally, and
00:56:41.600 I'm not sure
00:56:42.160 that they could
00:56:42.600 do that.
00:56:44.160 So I do
00:56:46.720 think that
00:56:47.120 Ukraine might
00:56:47.680 be entirely
00:56:48.280 about China.
00:56:55.320 Oh, Akira
00:56:56.420 the Don has
00:56:57.040 started up his
00:56:57.680 live streams
00:56:58.280 again, I
00:56:58.640 hear.
00:56:59.100 So check
00:56:59.960 out Akira
00:57:00.560 the Don.
00:57:04.520 What's a
00:57:05.100 corrupted Scott
00:57:05.820 going to do?
00:57:06.340 China gets
00:57:14.740 both Ukraine.
00:57:15.620 Yeah, you
00:57:16.460 know, China
00:57:18.420 might get
00:57:19.300 Ukraine.
00:57:20.320 I heard
00:57:20.820 somebody say
00:57:21.360 that there's
00:57:22.660 no way that
00:57:23.300 Russia's going
00:57:23.920 to starve
00:57:24.440 their army
00:57:25.100 because it's
00:57:26.840 the grain
00:57:27.560 basket of
00:57:28.180 the world.
00:57:29.620 So they're
00:57:30.260 not going to
00:57:30.640 run out of
00:57:31.220 bread because
00:57:32.000 it's the
00:57:33.040 bread basket
00:57:33.500 of the world.
00:57:33.980 to which I
00:57:35.420 say, have
00:57:37.600 you ever
00:57:37.820 tried to
00:57:38.160 eat wheat?
00:57:41.820 What do
00:57:42.620 you do?
00:57:42.920 Just grab a
00:57:43.880 handful in
00:57:45.580 the field?
00:57:47.840 How much
00:57:48.460 wheat is
00:57:48.840 growing in
00:57:49.220 the winter?
00:57:50.780 Where is it
00:57:51.280 stored?
00:57:52.780 Do you
00:57:53.000 think it's
00:57:53.300 just stored
00:57:54.000 where they
00:57:54.340 can go get
00:57:54.840 it and
00:57:55.040 make some
00:57:55.340 bread?
00:57:56.560 I don't
00:57:57.060 think it's
00:57:57.360 that easy
00:57:57.780 to turn
00:57:58.240 the wheat
00:57:58.660 in the
00:57:59.000 field into
00:57:59.540 food.
00:58:01.240 You know,
00:58:01.640 if you're
00:58:02.140 in a country
00:58:02.540 where anything
00:58:03.260 that's a
00:58:03.700 factory is
00:58:04.220 going to
00:58:04.420 get destroyed,
00:58:06.100 how do
00:58:07.000 you turn
00:58:07.280 it into
00:58:07.600 food?
00:58:08.980 It can't
00:58:09.580 be that
00:58:09.860 easy.
00:58:15.720 Yes,
00:58:16.160 we do
00:58:16.420 need
00:58:16.660 fertilizer.
00:58:17.420 Fertilizer is
00:58:17.900 a good
00:58:18.320 question.
00:58:19.660 You've got
00:58:19.940 to mill it.
00:58:20.860 That's right,
00:58:21.240 you've got to
00:58:21.620 mill it.
00:58:24.280 The 13
00:58:25.040 dead on a
00:58:25.660 Ukrainian
00:58:26.060 island was
00:58:26.680 a lie.
00:58:27.000 Yeah,
00:58:27.160 most of
00:58:28.000 what we've
00:58:28.580 heard is
00:58:28.860 a lie or
00:58:29.760 out of
00:58:30.060 context or
00:58:30.680 something.
00:58:32.360 So,
00:58:32.780 anyway,
00:58:33.700 I say
00:58:35.060 Arnold
00:58:35.420 good,
00:58:37.760 Russia
00:58:38.080 bad,
00:58:39.180 and that
00:58:39.980 is your
00:58:40.380 show for
00:58:40.780 today.
00:58:41.640 Possibly the
00:58:42.260 best thing
00:58:42.600 you've ever
00:58:42.900 seen.
00:58:43.720 If you
00:58:44.320 were a
00:58:44.580 subscriber to
00:58:45.500 Locals,
00:58:45.980 you would
00:58:46.280 have seen
00:58:46.580 my micro
00:58:47.460 lesson on
00:58:48.340 how to
00:58:48.940 control all
00:58:49.800 the things
00:58:50.200 you can
00:58:51.140 control.
00:58:52.940 And
00:58:53.420 you can
00:58:57.100 get a
00:58:57.400 countertop
00:58:57.960 and milling
00:58:58.480 machine.
00:58:58.800 well,
00:58:59.680 I agree
00:59:00.420 that you
00:59:00.780 can mill
00:59:01.260 the wheat,
00:59:02.480 but I
00:59:03.020 don't know
00:59:03.260 if you
00:59:03.480 can mill
00:59:03.840 it fast
00:59:04.380 enough and
00:59:04.880 efficiently
00:59:05.320 enough to
00:59:05.820 feed an
00:59:06.200 army,
00:59:07.000 and if
00:59:07.500 your army
00:59:07.860 is eating
00:59:08.220 only bread
00:59:08.900 and melted
00:59:11.040 snow,
00:59:12.000 I don't
00:59:12.300 know.
00:59:13.400 It doesn't
00:59:13.740 seem like a
00:59:14.220 good situation.
00:59:15.900 That's all
00:59:16.400 for now,
00:59:16.860 and I'll
00:59:17.160 talk to you
00:59:17.700 tomorrow.
00:59:18.800 tomorrow.
