Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody.
00:00:05.220 Congratulations on making it to the finest moment of all civilization.
00:00:11.500 Yes, it's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and there's no better place in the world to be.
00:00:16.380 In fact, this is a show that's been enjoyed by, well, let's see, humans.
00:00:24.040 Raise your hand if you're a human.
00:00:26.200 Good, good.
00:00:27.080 I see a lot of humans.
00:00:27.920 How many of you are birds?
00:00:31.180 Are there any birds out there?
00:00:33.240 I understand that there's a cockatoo named Kaylee, or Casey, Casey.
00:00:40.420 Casey, right?
00:00:42.100 Yes, Casey.
00:00:43.480 So I'd like to speak directly to Casey the cockatoo for a moment, because I know Casey is watching.
00:00:50.760 So if you could bear with me.
00:00:53.280 Casey, Casey, good bird.
00:00:56.360 Good bird.
00:00:58.480 Good bird.
00:00:59.860 Casey, want a treat?
00:01:01.520 Casey, want a treat?
00:01:03.100 Good bird.
00:01:04.280 All right.
00:01:04.600 That was just for the cockatoo.
00:01:06.420 Now, there may be other cockatoos watching.
00:01:09.340 If I didn't mention your name, I am talking to you, too.
00:01:13.220 All of the cockatoos.
00:01:14.420 And some of you I know have had a good morning already, and maybe you've had a cockatoo, too.
00:01:23.340 But let's do something that we call the simultaneous sip.
00:01:27.500 It goes well with terrible puns.
00:01:29.720 And all you need is a cup or mug, or a glass, or a tank, or a chalice, or a stein, a canteen jug, or a flask.
00:01:35.120 A vessel of any kind.
00:01:37.500 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:39.820 I like coffee.
00:01:41.680 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better, the thing that will make your bird talk.
00:01:49.460 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:01:51.620 Put your beak in it and enjoy.
00:01:53.260 Anyway, now, yeah, yeah, every time I'm surprised at how good that is.
00:02:06.120 Well, the airlines, the CEOs, a bunch of them have asked the government to drop the mask mandate.
00:02:11.520 And the only reason they're giving is that there's no reason not to, since people are huddling in bars and restaurants every day.
00:02:27.220 And do you know what's the difference between an airplane and a bar and a restaurant?
00:02:32.500 An airplane actually has good ventilation, unlike your restaurant and bar.
00:02:37.140 So the CEOs have just said, why are we waiting another, what, month or so to drop these mask requirements?
00:02:46.860 And I have a hypothesis, which maybe somebody has some data to validate.
00:02:54.360 Why would anybody book a trip between now and the time that the masks are non-mandated?
00:03:01.660 If you're planning a trip, why in the world would you book a flight in the month before the mask mandate drops, if you have a choice?
00:03:11.920 You're going to wait until the mask mandates drop, are you not?
00:03:15.280 Now, business people may have less choice, but even they have a lot of flexibility.
00:03:19.280 I mean, most people, yeah, most people can move their vacation a week or so, you know, a few weeks.
00:03:24.360 So my guess is that the airlines are getting crushed in the current period because everybody's saying, you know, if I just wait three weeks, I don't need a mask or whatever it is.
00:03:36.640 Yeah, and I'm seeing in the comments people say they're intentionally waiting for the mask mandate.
00:03:42.560 So I think finance, follow the money, guarantees where things are going.
00:03:47.460 The airlines will get their mask thing dropped.
00:03:49.820 I believe now all 50 states have dropped mask mandates.
00:03:53.160 I saw that, but I don't believe that's true.
00:03:56.980 Is it true that all state mandates are dropped and all that's left is federal?
00:04:03.060 Because I thought that mask transportation was always masked no matter who owns it.
00:04:10.160 Is that right?
00:04:12.960 Hawaii hasn't.
00:04:14.200 Hawaii hasn't?
00:04:16.520 But has Hawaii announced when they will?
00:04:21.520 Yeah.
00:04:22.040 Well, I don't believe that all 50 states have dropped all mask mandates.
00:04:27.660 I don't think that's true, but they will.
00:04:30.160 All right.
00:04:31.060 Let me check in with you.
00:04:33.680 I think you know that since the beginning, I've been saying that you don't have to worry about the mandates being permanent.
00:04:41.280 Now, some of you said, Scott, you don't know when the government gets some power, they never release it.
00:04:47.180 Well, that's true, but this wasn't like any other situation, right?
00:04:51.860 And the United States is not like other countries.
00:04:55.860 We are a little bit more rebellious, often in a productive way.
00:05:00.160 And it didn't seem to me that the United States could keep mandates.
00:05:06.140 I don't know if anybody can, but I don't think it's going to happen here.
00:05:09.340 So if you, it did take them too long.
00:05:12.480 Yeah, you could argue that for sure.
00:05:14.440 But, you know, the government takes too long for everything.
00:05:17.880 So check your thinking.
00:05:19.020 If you believe that this was going to be masked forever, it was part of a larger global conspiracy, maybe that won't happen.
00:05:27.760 We hope.
00:05:28.200 Dental office tools create particles that easily penetrate N95.
00:05:35.300 Well, that's a weird, specific comment, but I'll bet you're right.
00:05:39.980 All right.
00:05:42.300 I have a proposal, and I was reading about that Congress has a plan.
00:05:49.140 They're thinking about mailing out stimulus checks to people to help them pay for gasoline because gas prices are so high.
00:05:58.200 And I thought, you know, that's not going to work because if you send out stimulus checks in the short term, that might help them buy gas.
00:06:08.100 But in the long term, it's going to increase inflation, right?
00:06:11.800 Because the stimulus checks will not be paid for, so it has to be borrowing.
00:06:18.140 And so therefore, I don't think that's a good plan.
00:06:20.260 But sometimes a bad plan will suggest a good plan.
00:06:25.280 You'll hear somebody's bad plan.
00:06:26.680 And you go, that won't work, but you know, if you just made one tweak to it.
00:06:30.720 So the problem with their plan is that it's not funded.
00:06:33.900 So I propose a new federal tax on gasoline.
00:06:38.980 We'll put a new federal tax on top of whatever taxes there are.
00:06:42.360 And the new federal tax will fund the stimulus payments that will go to the public to help them buy the gas that was funded by the tax on the gas.
00:06:54.320 Now, then you have a closed system.
00:06:58.300 Now, I don't...
00:06:59.460 Please, please...
00:07:00.560 On locals, people are calling me brilliant.
00:07:02.800 And I don't think I deserve it.
00:07:05.060 I don't.
00:07:05.840 I can see objectively, this does seem kind of genius.
00:07:10.580 I can see how you'd think that.
00:07:12.060 But please, you're embarrassing me.
00:07:13.740 You're embarrassing me.
00:07:15.900 Anybody could have come up with this idea, I think.
00:07:18.460 I mean, sure, it was me.
00:07:20.540 This time it was me.
00:07:21.540 But I like to think it's not about me.
00:07:24.580 It's we.
00:07:25.740 It's we.
00:07:28.420 There's no I in team.
00:07:29.740 But as Kobe Bryant once said to Shaq O'Neal,
00:07:37.880 yeah, there is no I in team, but there isn't me in that motherfucker.
00:07:44.160 All right.
00:07:47.000 So that's my idea.
00:07:49.480 I did a tweet yesterday to cause some trouble, a little provocation.
00:07:54.440 I did a little bit too well.
00:07:55.960 Well, sometimes when I try to provoke, I overshoot the mark a little bit,
00:08:01.640 and I did it again, creating yet again another rumor about my opinions
00:08:06.420 that will haunt me to the end of days.
00:08:10.220 And here's my mistake slash funny tweet.
00:08:15.440 Are you all aware that the word decimated is almost always misused in popular use?
00:08:23.160 Does everybody know that?
00:08:24.180 Most people use the word decimated to mean almost completely destroyed something.
00:08:30.560 Oh, you decimated that city.
00:08:32.760 Oh, it's 90% destroyed.
00:08:35.600 The actual definition, historically, of decimated,
00:08:39.780 and that's where the des part, the DEC part comes from, which means 10.
00:08:44.800 Decimated means you defeated or you destroyed 10% of something.
00:08:50.720 10%.
00:08:51.400 Now, I did look up the definition before I talked about this
00:08:54.840 because I wanted to see if popular use had shifted the definition,
00:08:59.020 and it has, actually.
00:08:59.940 It has.
00:09:00.320 So now it's a substantial or significant destruction of an army or something else.
00:09:09.240 So it's not limited to 10%, but it's any substantial.
00:09:14.720 So I would say 15% would be substantial.
00:09:19.640 You know, that would be decimated according to the modern thing.
00:09:21.900 So there was a report from U.S. officials, I don't know who it was, Pentagon or somebody,
00:09:27.960 and nothing you could trust.
00:09:30.080 So when I say this information came from the government,
00:09:33.640 and I don't specify which part of the government,
00:09:36.840 it doesn't matter what part of the government said it
00:09:40.000 because it's not something you should believe anyway.
00:09:42.880 It wouldn't matter who said it.
00:09:43.860 It's not believable in a time of war,
00:09:46.940 which is how many people have died on the other side.
00:09:51.140 We don't know how many Russians have died.
00:09:53.940 We don't really know that.
00:09:56.720 So you shouldn't believe it.
00:09:58.320 But the report was that as much as 10% of the military,
00:10:02.540 let's say full capacity, not just people,
00:10:05.480 but the capacity of the Russian military has been degraded by 10%.
00:10:09.200 So I tweeted, oh, they've literally been decimated,
00:10:15.020 which caused many people to say,
00:10:16.980 Scott, how could you fall for that Ukrainian propaganda?
00:10:21.480 To which I said, uh-oh, I've done it again.
00:10:23.720 Now there's a permanent record on the Internet,
00:10:26.660 since I keep the tweet up,
00:10:29.060 that seems to indicate to some people
00:10:30.800 that I believe the Ukrainian propaganda.
00:10:34.620 Now, is there anything I believe less
00:10:37.720 than Ukrainian propaganda?
00:10:40.520 I don't know.
00:10:42.160 If you were to make a list of all the things I believe,
00:10:46.280 I'm pretty sure that near the bottom of it
00:10:48.880 would be Ukrainian war propaganda.
00:10:52.720 That might be just about the least likely thing
00:10:55.800 I'm going to believe.
00:10:56.860 But I did make a tweet that led people to believe that.
00:11:00.140 So forever I will be hounded by the belief
00:11:02.260 that I believe the opposite of what I believed.
00:11:05.060 And now you know, decimated is about 10%.
00:11:09.380 Now, I think I saw a tweet by Jeff Pilkington
00:11:14.620 suggesting that the match-up for a president
00:11:18.740 that would make the most sense for both parties
00:11:21.240 would be Gavin Newsom against Ron DeSantis.
00:11:25.840 The theory being that they are two people
00:11:28.540 who, let's say, proved themselves during the pandemic.
00:11:31.880 Now, Democrats would say that Newsom did a good job.
00:11:37.220 Maybe you wouldn't.
00:11:39.040 Maybe you wouldn't, but that's not the point.
00:11:42.040 Right?
00:11:42.440 They only have to get enough votes to be elected.
00:11:44.440 They don't need your vote, per se.
00:11:46.740 And Democrats, of course, would say that Ron DeSantis
00:11:49.700 did everything wrong.
00:11:51.680 Republicans would say he did everything right.
00:11:53.500 So forget about whether you like him or not.
00:11:55.200 Do you buy the concept that,
00:11:59.360 let's just talk about the Democrat side,
00:12:02.420 do you buy the concept that Newsom is their best shot?
00:12:06.380 Let me see.
00:12:07.280 Now, forget about whether you think he'd win,
00:12:09.720 and forget about whether you think he's good
00:12:11.520 in an absolute sense.
00:12:13.540 In a competitive sense,
00:12:15.260 since they have a pretty weak bench,
00:12:17.800 do you think he'd have the best chance of winning,
00:12:20.820 even if he couldn't win?
00:12:22.180 Yeah, I see a lot of people saying yes.
00:12:26.000 Yeah.
00:12:26.720 I mean, it's split like everything.
00:12:28.460 But there are more people saying yes than no.
00:12:30.180 And a lot of it has to do with the fact
00:12:31.380 that he's got the act.
00:12:33.060 He's got the look.
00:12:34.100 He's got the mannerisms.
00:12:36.560 Now he's got serious credentials
00:12:39.060 for his background.
00:12:42.760 He's got the hair.
00:12:43.720 He's got the look.
00:12:45.260 He's got sort of the surface package.
00:12:48.380 But here's something that I read about him today.
00:12:50.300 I assume this will pass the fact check.
00:12:54.760 The L.A. robberies that involve firearms.
00:12:59.100 So in Los Angeles,
00:13:00.520 robberies that involve firearms
00:13:01.920 have increased 44% this year,
00:13:04.800 according to the city's top cop.
00:13:10.040 How do you get elected president
00:13:11.940 when crime in one of your biggest areas of your state
00:13:17.180 increased 44%?
00:13:18.680 Do you know how easy it would be to beat him?
00:13:23.400 Every time somebody asks you a question,
00:13:25.360 let's say it's either Trump or DeSantis
00:13:27.380 running for president on the Republican side.
00:13:30.300 Every time they're asking a question
00:13:31.740 about the other side,
00:13:32.840 just say,
00:13:34.420 I want you to fact check this.
00:13:37.100 Did armed robbery
00:13:38.900 really go up 44% under Newsom?
00:13:41.760 And then they'll say,
00:13:43.700 but Mr. Trump,
00:13:45.920 we're asking you about Ukraine.
00:13:49.120 And then if I were Trump,
00:13:50.360 I'd say,
00:13:50.900 I understand what you're asking me.
00:13:53.320 But do you understand
00:13:54.580 that you're asking me to comment
00:13:56.340 on somebody whose leadership
00:13:58.340 rose armed robbery
00:14:00.320 by 44% in a year?
00:14:02.940 Why would I even talk about
00:14:04.280 any of his other opinions?
00:14:05.420 How could it possibly matter
00:14:07.800 what he thinks about world events?
00:14:11.480 Because if you elect him,
00:14:13.620 you're going to get exactly
00:14:15.000 what the package told you you were getting.
00:14:18.560 If you get Newsom,
00:14:20.560 read the ingredients.
00:14:22.480 Part of the ingredients are
00:14:23.760 increased armed robbery 44% in one year.
00:14:28.080 That's what you're buying.
00:14:29.200 So, you know,
00:14:32.260 no politician would ever do
00:14:33.660 what I recommended,
00:14:34.620 which is only talk about
00:14:35.700 one thing about the competitor
00:14:37.120 the whole time.
00:14:38.580 But it'd probably work.
00:14:40.440 It would probably work.
00:14:42.180 You know,
00:14:42.360 nobody's ever going to do that
00:14:43.500 because it would be boring.
00:14:44.960 But it'd work.
00:14:47.260 All right.
00:14:51.040 Here's your daily propaganda warning.
00:14:54.100 This one comes from Glenn Greenwald.
00:14:56.380 Now, I feel like
00:14:57.680 it's actually useful
00:14:59.120 to repeat this
00:15:00.400 every day or two,
00:15:01.820 which is to remind you
00:15:03.440 that your side
00:15:05.460 is lying to you too.
00:15:08.000 That's really hard to
00:15:09.620 kind of really incorporate
00:15:11.620 into your thinking
00:15:12.420 because we're just sort of
00:15:14.000 biased toward thinking
00:15:15.100 our side is
00:15:15.880 maybe not right all the time,
00:15:18.140 but it's more right
00:15:19.800 than the other side,
00:15:21.260 isn't it?
00:15:22.680 How do we know?
00:15:23.780 We have no way to know that.
00:15:25.200 And Glenn reminds us.
00:15:27.480 He tweets,
00:15:28.040 if you're in the U.S.
00:15:29.140 or a NATO country,
00:15:30.440 you're in a radically
00:15:31.460 closed propaganda system.
00:15:33.500 Much dissent has been banned
00:15:34.840 or demonized
00:15:35.540 to the point of invisibility.
00:15:37.760 And maybe you're still
00:15:38.780 100% right,
00:15:40.560 but at least recognize
00:15:42.100 that everyone in war
00:15:43.220 is propagandized,
00:15:44.960 warranting skepticism.
00:15:46.840 In other words,
00:15:47.340 don't trust your own side.
00:15:49.720 Good advice.
00:15:50.660 Don't trust your own side.
00:15:51.760 And in fact,
00:15:52.840 don't trust the pundits.
00:15:54.960 In a time of war,
00:15:56.020 I don't think you can
00:15:56.640 trust anybody
00:15:57.280 because everybody's got
00:15:59.340 an agenda.
00:16:01.820 And that includes me,
00:16:03.160 but at least I've told you
00:16:04.320 what my bias is.
00:16:06.100 The best you can do,
00:16:07.200 I think,
00:16:07.560 is tell people
00:16:08.340 what your bias is.
00:16:10.160 You know,
00:16:10.500 you can't...
00:16:10.760 You can't do much
00:16:15.040 better than that.
00:16:15.560 So here's a story.
00:16:25.240 And this is a narrative
00:16:26.940 diversion story.
00:16:30.540 So why is it that Ukraine
00:16:33.000 is doing such a good job
00:16:34.340 of defending?
00:16:36.120 We've heard several reasons,
00:16:37.580 have we not?
00:16:38.700 Here are some of the reasons
00:16:39.760 we've heard.
00:16:40.280 We've heard that the Russians
00:16:41.260 have low morale
00:16:42.060 and the Ukrainians
00:16:43.980 have high morale.
00:16:45.560 Did I just tell you
00:16:47.760 that everything
00:16:48.600 from your own side
00:16:49.940 is propaganda
00:16:51.720 as well as the other side?
00:16:54.760 Right?
00:16:55.180 So when your side,
00:16:56.480 your own side,
00:16:57.180 tells you,
00:16:57.580 here's one of the reasons.
00:16:58.960 It's because the Ukrainians
00:17:00.320 have high morale
00:17:01.000 and the Russians
00:17:01.600 have low morale.
00:17:02.800 Now, it could be true
00:17:03.800 because it certainly
00:17:05.420 feels like it might be true.
00:17:07.700 Doesn't it?
00:17:08.920 It kind of feels
00:17:09.480 like it might be.
00:17:10.700 But I don't know
00:17:11.560 that it's true.
00:17:13.480 I don't know.
00:17:14.340 And I don't know
00:17:14.900 that it makes a difference.
00:17:16.400 It might not make a difference,
00:17:18.380 but it could also be true.
00:17:21.940 Here's another thing
00:17:23.100 that we're hearing
00:17:23.620 is that the Russians
00:17:24.300 are using bad tactics
00:17:25.600 and bad equipment.
00:17:27.620 You know,
00:17:27.780 bad maintenance,
00:17:28.780 bad tactics.
00:17:30.400 Now,
00:17:30.840 is that true?
00:17:32.360 Is that true?
00:17:32.900 Is it a coincidence
00:17:34.860 that the enemy,
00:17:36.280 let's say Russia
00:17:37.020 is sort of the enemy
00:17:37.780 for propaganda purposes,
00:17:39.480 is it true
00:17:39.940 that the enemy
00:17:40.520 is always incompetent
00:17:41.620 and, you know,
00:17:42.720 they can't maintain
00:17:43.500 their equipment?
00:17:44.540 It might be.
00:17:45.740 I mean,
00:17:46.060 it might be a little bit true.
00:17:47.580 But how would you know?
00:17:49.560 You wouldn't know.
00:17:51.200 You wouldn't know that at all.
00:17:53.580 You have no way
00:17:54.460 of knowing that.
00:17:55.220 Somebody told you that.
00:17:57.580 Now,
00:17:58.400 here's my question,
00:17:59.640 and it's sort of,
00:18:00.580 it's not quite the dog
00:18:01.740 not barking,
00:18:02.580 but maybe you can figure out
00:18:03.620 how to label this.
00:18:04.400 what's left out.
00:18:08.840 Is there not
00:18:09.860 something that's
00:18:11.300 a little left out?
00:18:12.820 Well,
00:18:13.520 this narrative
00:18:14.360 was boosted again
00:18:16.460 by a story that says
00:18:17.460 the Green Beret,
00:18:18.460 the American Green Beret forces,
00:18:20.680 have been training
00:18:21.600 the Ukrainians
00:18:22.800 quite seriously
00:18:24.000 since Russia took Crimea.
00:18:27.140 Now,
00:18:27.760 if your Green Beret
00:18:29.340 are training you
00:18:30.920 to create
00:18:32.960 an armed resistance,
00:18:34.400 which is what they do,
00:18:36.100 apparently they're
00:18:36.940 really good at it,
00:18:38.680 according to our own government,
00:18:41.160 who
00:18:42.060 can't really believe,
00:18:43.640 can you?
00:18:44.640 But
00:18:45.120 I feel as if people
00:18:46.760 who have been involved
00:18:47.600 in the Green Beret
00:18:48.340 could confirm this,
00:18:50.060 and maybe some of you have.
00:18:51.040 Is there anybody here
00:18:51.660 who's been involved
00:18:52.320 in the Green Beret?
00:18:53.560 Because I do think,
00:18:55.540 even though you can't believe,
00:18:58.160 you can't believe
00:18:58.900 you're a government,
00:19:00.060 I do think it's likely
00:19:01.200 that the Green Beret
00:19:02.240 do a solid job.
00:19:03.520 Can anybody confirm that?
00:19:05.160 Has there anybody
00:19:05.680 been in the Green Beret
00:19:06.800 who's watching this
00:19:07.640 who would say,
00:19:08.040 yeah, yeah,
00:19:08.420 this is real.
00:19:11.740 Yeah,
00:19:12.300 their primary mission
00:19:13.320 is training other forces,
00:19:14.760 right?
00:19:15.440 The Green Beret
00:19:16.180 mostly goes in
00:19:17.080 and trains the locals
00:19:18.220 to be a force multiplier.
00:19:21.640 I mean,
00:19:21.960 I'm seeing some people
00:19:22.660 confirm that it's real,
00:19:23.780 but
00:19:23.960 let's say it is real.
00:19:25.680 So now we have
00:19:28.100 these three reasons
00:19:29.180 so far
00:19:30.060 why Ukraine
00:19:31.200 is doing better
00:19:31.840 than most expected.
00:19:33.440 High morale,
00:19:34.820 bad Russian tactics
00:19:35.900 and equipment,
00:19:36.820 I guess,
00:19:37.320 and then the Green Beret
00:19:38.640 trained the Ukrainians
00:19:40.340 to be effective fighters,
00:19:41.620 especially in their local terrain.
00:19:44.600 There's still something missing.
00:19:47.840 Now,
00:19:48.460 of course,
00:19:48.840 there have been
00:19:49.080 lots of stories
00:19:49.760 about the high-tech equipment
00:19:51.000 that we've given them,
00:19:51.920 but here's what I think.
00:19:55.340 I think the high-tech weapons
00:19:58.320 are the actual main story.
00:20:01.080 This other stuff is important.
00:20:02.940 The Green Beret
00:20:03.600 probably made a big difference.
00:20:05.600 But I think
00:20:06.320 that the narrative
00:20:07.620 is trying to
00:20:09.320 shift us away
00:20:10.820 from the equipment aspect.
00:20:12.740 It's trying to shift us
00:20:13.920 onto the human aspect.
00:20:15.760 So the human aspect is,
00:20:17.220 do you have high morale?
00:20:18.500 Are you well-trained?
00:20:19.640 Do you know
00:20:22.200 how to maintain things?
00:20:24.160 Do you have good tactics?
00:20:26.260 Isn't it interesting
00:20:27.200 that all of the propaganda
00:20:29.360 that we're being subjected to
00:20:32.260 is telling us
00:20:33.980 that it has,
00:20:34.840 really,
00:20:35.440 don't look at the drones.
00:20:37.480 No, no.
00:20:38.040 Yeah,
00:20:38.280 we are sending drones.
00:20:39.700 We're definitely sending them
00:20:41.020 shoulder-mounted rockets.
00:20:43.180 But, you know,
00:20:43.600 that's not the reason.
00:20:46.300 That's not the reason
00:20:47.500 the Ukrainians are winning.
00:20:48.500 No, it's not
00:20:49.720 that they have
00:20:50.560 thousands and thousands
00:20:51.680 of easy-to-operate
00:20:53.120 deadly weapons
00:20:55.180 that are designed
00:20:56.440 exactly to destroy
00:20:57.680 the things
00:20:58.120 that are destroying.
00:20:59.380 No, it's not the weaponry.
00:21:01.280 It's all about
00:21:02.300 the human part.
00:21:05.880 Correct me
00:21:06.360 if I've gone too far.
00:21:09.200 But here's my hypothesis.
00:21:11.800 If Russia said,
00:21:13.720 who trained these guys,
00:21:15.360 and we found out
00:21:16.000 it was the Green Beret,
00:21:16.780 let's say the Americans
00:21:17.700 had trained the Ukrainians,
00:21:19.660 would you say
00:21:20.440 that America's in the war?
00:21:23.280 No,
00:21:23.740 because the training
00:21:24.360 is something that happened
00:21:25.600 but may not be happening
00:21:27.340 at the moment.
00:21:29.260 So we're not in the war.
00:21:31.140 We simply did some things
00:21:32.700 that Ukraine found useful
00:21:34.140 to be in the war.
00:21:35.700 So if you're talking
00:21:36.580 about the human part,
00:21:38.440 it's really easy
00:21:39.180 to make the argument
00:21:39.880 that the United States
00:21:40.800 is not in the war.
00:21:42.240 We're not in the war.
00:21:43.080 We're not in that war.
00:21:46.760 But suppose I said
00:21:48.800 to you this.
00:21:50.160 The reason that Ukraine
00:21:51.580 is winning
00:21:52.020 is that they have
00:21:52.840 American weapons.
00:21:55.700 And that we didn't
00:21:56.900 even sell them to them.
00:21:58.460 We gave them to them.
00:22:00.400 We gave them the weapons.
00:22:02.460 I think, right?
00:22:03.360 Don't we give them
00:22:03.960 the weapons?
00:22:04.340 That sounds like
00:22:08.900 you're in the war.
00:22:10.580 Because when the Russian
00:22:11.620 gets shot,
00:22:12.820 or when the Russian
00:22:13.580 gets killed,
00:22:14.940 it's being killed
00:22:16.000 by a weapon
00:22:16.760 that's right there
00:22:18.000 right now.
00:22:19.460 That's current.
00:22:21.100 That's not,
00:22:21.720 you used to train us
00:22:22.760 and now we're good
00:22:23.460 on our own.
00:22:24.800 That was the past.
00:22:26.060 But the weapon
00:22:26.820 that killed you,
00:22:27.440 that's sort of today.
00:22:29.420 And I have a feeling
00:22:30.380 that because
00:22:32.380 giving any country
00:22:34.960 high-tech weaponry
00:22:36.180 can change
00:22:37.260 the course of the war.
00:22:38.940 More so than
00:22:39.940 almost anything, right?
00:22:45.480 Erica, you're too nice.
00:22:47.140 Thank you.
00:22:49.120 So I have a feeling
00:22:50.560 that the propaganda
00:22:51.760 we're seeing
00:22:52.640 is diverting us
00:22:53.620 from the hardware
00:22:54.660 part of the story.
00:22:55.940 And I'm going to
00:22:57.080 reaffirm my
00:22:58.320 prediction
00:23:00.440 that when this
00:23:01.760 is all over,
00:23:02.920 we're going to learn
00:23:04.160 that the Ukrainian
00:23:05.600 fighters
00:23:06.320 had more than
00:23:07.440 just the weapons
00:23:08.220 we know about.
00:23:10.600 That they had
00:23:11.500 what I'm calling
00:23:13.220 the good stuff.
00:23:14.940 There might be
00:23:15.820 some new weapons
00:23:16.680 you have not heard of
00:23:17.880 that might be
00:23:19.220 getting a little test.
00:23:21.420 That's what I think.
00:23:22.480 Now, I don't know
00:23:22.980 if those weapons
00:23:23.660 will be the majority
00:23:24.860 of the reason,
00:23:25.600 but certainly
00:23:26.080 the high-tech weapons
00:23:27.060 is the story
00:23:27.760 in my opinion.
00:23:28.440 I think the high-tech
00:23:30.360 weapons are the story.
00:23:34.120 All right.
00:23:37.600 CNN may have
00:23:40.080 assassinated
00:23:40.800 a Russian general.
00:23:42.760 Now, we always
00:23:44.260 tease CNN about being
00:23:45.620 deep state-owned
00:23:47.280 and CIA-controlled
00:23:50.220 and stuff like that.
00:23:51.340 We don't know.
00:23:52.240 It's hard to validate
00:23:53.280 any of that stuff.
00:23:54.660 But CNN is running
00:23:56.240 a story that goes
00:23:57.940 roughly like this.
00:23:58.780 So there was a rare
00:23:59.660 face-to-face meeting
00:24:01.240 between Russian
00:24:02.300 and U.S. military.
00:24:04.420 Now, apparently
00:24:05.060 that hasn't happened
00:24:06.020 in a while
00:24:06.540 and it's sort of rare.
00:24:08.320 And doing it
00:24:09.680 during the Ukraine war
00:24:10.580 was doubly rare.
00:24:13.040 And the way CNN
00:24:14.160 reports this
00:24:15.000 is that the Russian
00:24:16.540 general,
00:24:17.620 doesn't matter who he is,
00:24:18.640 you all remember
00:24:19.160 his name anyway,
00:24:19.680 who is normally
00:24:21.120 stoic,
00:24:22.700 doesn't show much emotion,
00:24:23.900 was asked about
00:24:25.580 his Ukrainian ties
00:24:28.180 because I guess
00:24:28.760 he was born in Ukraine.
00:24:30.520 So there's a Russian
00:24:31.420 general fighting a war
00:24:34.080 against his own
00:24:35.620 home country.
00:24:38.420 And the report is
00:24:39.880 that he was,
00:24:41.440 he sort of lost
00:24:42.240 his composure,
00:24:43.140 which is uncharacteristic,
00:24:44.740 and that they saw
00:24:46.440 a break in his,
00:24:47.540 let's say, morale
00:24:48.820 or that,
00:24:50.560 or his,
00:24:52.040 this seemed to indicate
00:24:53.060 that he was not
00:24:53.920 totally on board
00:24:54.800 with the war.
00:24:57.720 They just killed him.
00:25:01.580 Think about it.
00:25:03.180 CNN is reporting
00:25:04.280 a direct anecdote
00:25:05.920 of Putin's general
00:25:07.920 being not so up
00:25:10.360 for the war.
00:25:11.840 And then that
00:25:12.400 became a news story
00:25:13.380 and there's a risk
00:25:14.480 that the soldiers
00:25:15.400 and the Russian army
00:25:16.700 could actually hear
00:25:17.820 that story.
00:25:19.420 I mean, it's hard
00:25:20.160 because they're
00:25:21.080 kind of sheltered.
00:25:21.860 But do you think
00:25:22.860 Putin wants a story
00:25:23.780 about one of his
00:25:24.460 generals,
00:25:25.720 one of his generals
00:25:27.260 saying he's not so
00:25:28.500 hot about the war
00:25:29.220 and he was born
00:25:29.780 in Ukraine?
00:25:31.580 Looked like he,
00:25:32.780 right?
00:25:33.760 Now, tell me I'm wrong.
00:25:35.960 Did CNN just
00:25:37.080 assassinate a Russian
00:25:38.280 general?
00:25:40.100 Am I wrong?
00:25:42.640 I'm not wrong.
00:25:44.460 They just,
00:25:44.960 they just took out
00:25:45.660 a general.
00:25:46.600 Do you think
00:25:47.260 that CNN did this
00:25:48.540 story without prompting?
00:25:51.220 Do you think
00:25:51.900 the CIA
00:25:52.500 or somebody
00:25:53.520 in the military
00:25:54.120 or the government
00:25:54.760 said to CNN,
00:25:56.400 I got a story
00:25:57.040 for you
00:25:57.500 and I've got
00:25:59.780 some inside
00:26:00.400 information.
00:26:01.500 We don't usually
00:26:02.220 provide the notes
00:26:03.920 of a meeting
00:26:04.400 like this.
00:26:05.540 But we're going
00:26:06.240 to provide you
00:26:06.920 the notes this time
00:26:07.900 if you write
00:26:09.200 this narrative
00:26:09.860 because we're
00:26:11.360 going to kill,
00:26:11.940 we're going to kill
00:26:12.680 a general with news.
00:26:13.680 I think CNN
00:26:16.160 took him out.
00:26:17.220 Now, he may not
00:26:18.200 die, die,
00:26:19.580 but he's going
00:26:20.180 to be off the job,
00:26:21.700 is he not?
00:26:23.000 Won't he be locked
00:26:23.800 up by today?
00:26:25.380 And if he's not,
00:26:26.460 it only means
00:26:26.920 Putin hasn't
00:26:27.440 heard about it,
00:26:28.240 right?
00:26:30.320 Does anybody
00:26:31.060 disagree with me
00:26:31.900 that CNN
00:26:32.420 just took out
00:26:33.040 a general
00:26:33.460 and almost certainly
00:26:34.960 was a war-related
00:26:36.340 move,
00:26:36.980 almost certainly
00:26:37.680 guided by
00:26:38.360 whoever fed
00:26:39.500 them the information?
00:26:42.380 I'm not wrong.
00:26:43.680 I don't think
00:26:45.180 I'm wrong.
00:26:46.060 I think they just
00:26:46.900 assassinated a Russian
00:26:48.420 general with the media.
00:26:51.480 I think.
00:26:52.580 I think that just
00:26:53.400 happened.
00:26:55.520 How many of you
00:26:56.460 noticed?
00:26:59.040 That's the weird
00:26:59.940 part.
00:27:00.840 If I hadn't
00:27:01.440 mentioned it,
00:27:02.660 you wouldn't have
00:27:03.280 noticed CNN
00:27:04.200 assassinating a top
00:27:05.500 general.
00:27:06.600 It just happened.
00:27:08.720 In effect.
00:27:11.000 All right.
00:27:12.140 The Supreme Court
00:27:13.260 nominee
00:27:13.660 had at least
00:27:15.400 one interesting
00:27:16.080 moment
00:27:16.860 in which
00:27:19.040 she was asked
00:27:20.640 to define
00:27:21.460 a woman
00:27:21.840 and then she
00:27:22.480 said,
00:27:23.260 well,
00:27:23.540 I'm not a
00:27:24.000 biologist.
00:27:25.160 And then
00:27:25.700 everybody
00:27:26.120 pounced.
00:27:27.660 They said,
00:27:27.960 wait a minute,
00:27:28.280 wait a minute.
00:27:29.220 If you have to
00:27:30.060 be a biologist,
00:27:31.980 wouldn't that
00:27:32.700 suggest there's
00:27:33.400 a biological
00:27:34.080 basis for
00:27:35.300 male and
00:27:35.920 female?
00:27:36.160 And that's,
00:27:37.940 of course,
00:27:38.200 counter to the
00:27:38.840 left's hypothesis
00:27:40.060 hypothesis or
00:27:41.140 maybe philosophy
00:27:42.220 that people
00:27:43.980 can choose
00:27:44.540 their gender
00:27:45.120 or that,
00:27:46.040 let's say,
00:27:46.840 let me say it
00:27:47.880 better,
00:27:48.580 that your
00:27:48.940 genitalia or
00:27:50.020 your reproductive
00:27:50.740 ability does
00:27:52.380 not define if
00:27:53.880 you're male or
00:27:54.380 female.
00:27:55.020 That would be
00:27:55.540 their point of
00:27:56.020 view.
00:27:56.120 Now,
00:27:58.200 the weirdest
00:27:59.380 thing,
00:28:01.780 the weirdest
00:28:04.280 thing about
00:28:04.740 this is,
00:28:08.680 I was
00:28:11.920 watching,
00:28:12.320 I thought I
00:28:12.680 made a note
00:28:13.020 about it,
00:28:13.380 Dershowitz?
00:28:14.720 Did anybody
00:28:15.260 see Dershowitz
00:28:16.080 talk about
00:28:16.820 his old
00:28:17.960 student,
00:28:19.380 Cruz,
00:28:19.780 artist?
00:28:20.560 So,
00:28:21.020 Ted Cruz
00:28:21.440 asked what
00:28:23.280 Dershowitz
00:28:23.920 called an
00:28:24.540 absurd question.
00:28:26.120 So,
00:28:26.840 it was Ted
00:28:27.140 Cruz who
00:28:27.660 was asking
00:28:28.220 if somebody
00:28:31.660 who was
00:28:31.960 born with,
00:28:32.880 let's say,
00:28:33.520 male or
00:28:33.880 female genitalia
00:28:34.940 could change
00:28:36.700 their gender,
00:28:39.000 why couldn't
00:28:39.480 he as a,
00:28:41.740 what do you
00:28:42.260 say,
00:28:42.520 Latino,
00:28:43.960 could he
00:28:44.380 change his
00:28:44.880 identity to
00:28:45.520 black?
00:28:46.920 Now,
00:28:47.520 forget about
00:28:48.180 what the
00:28:50.280 Supreme Court
00:28:50.920 nominee Jackson
00:28:51.880 said.
00:28:52.680 This is what
00:28:53.360 Alan Dershowitz
00:28:54.200 said about
00:28:54.720 this.
00:28:55.040 He acted
00:28:56.280 like he
00:28:56.580 was a little
00:28:56.920 embarrassed
00:28:57.400 because Ted
00:28:57.860 Cruz had
00:28:58.260 been his
00:28:58.640 student at
00:28:59.220 Harvard.
00:29:00.380 And Dershowitz,
00:29:01.020 I've been
00:29:01.220 watching for a
00:29:01.860 long time,
00:29:02.520 and I've
00:29:02.880 been quite a
00:29:03.520 supporter of
00:29:04.200 his logic.
00:29:06.440 You can make
00:29:07.520 your own
00:29:07.780 opinions about
00:29:08.340 his personal
00:29:08.860 life and what
00:29:09.520 he has or
00:29:10.000 has not done.
00:29:10.900 I'm not
00:29:11.300 talking about
00:29:11.760 that.
00:29:12.620 You're all
00:29:13.140 welcome to
00:29:13.580 that opinion.
00:29:14.620 I won't even
00:29:15.120 try to influence
00:29:15.760 you.
00:29:16.040 Just have your
00:29:16.540 own opinion
00:29:16.940 about his,
00:29:17.840 you know,
00:29:18.140 his own
00:29:18.440 life.
00:29:18.860 But this
00:29:20.940 is the
00:29:21.240 first time
00:29:21.900 I've seen
00:29:23.000 him be
00:29:23.540 outrageously
00:29:25.380 illogical in
00:29:26.280 public.
00:29:28.360 It's the
00:29:28.880 first time.
00:29:29.540 So even
00:29:30.060 when I would
00:29:30.620 disagree with
00:29:31.280 him on a
00:29:31.680 topic,
00:29:32.180 which would
00:29:32.580 happen now
00:29:33.120 and then,
00:29:34.200 when I'd
00:29:34.560 hear his
00:29:34.880 logic,
00:29:35.400 I'd say,
00:29:35.600 ah,
00:29:35.860 damn it,
00:29:36.160 that's good
00:29:36.520 logic.
00:29:37.860 Here he
00:29:38.300 has no
00:29:38.640 logic.
00:29:39.060 Let me
00:29:39.260 walk through
00:29:39.680 it.
00:29:39.840 So he
00:29:41.080 claimed
00:29:41.540 that he
00:29:44.980 agreed with
00:29:45.580 the notion
00:29:46.040 that you
00:29:46.660 can choose
00:29:47.200 your gender
00:29:47.760 regardless of
00:29:49.880 your genitalia.
00:29:50.820 So Dershowitz
00:29:51.780 says that's
00:29:52.400 a fact,
00:29:53.320 but it's
00:29:53.700 ridiculous to
00:29:54.580 say that
00:29:55.540 you could
00:29:55.840 choose your
00:29:56.320 race.
00:29:58.280 Do you
00:29:58.560 know why?
00:29:58.980 Do you
00:29:59.400 know why
00:29:59.680 it makes
00:30:01.120 sense that
00:30:01.980 you could
00:30:02.240 choose your
00:30:02.680 gender,
00:30:03.740 but it
00:30:04.460 doesn't make
00:30:04.980 sense that
00:30:05.420 you could
00:30:05.880 choose your
00:30:07.220 ethnicity?
00:30:07.960 Here's the
00:30:08.500 reason he
00:30:08.880 gave you.
00:30:10.020 I'm going
00:30:10.460 to paraphrase.
00:30:11.180 This is
00:30:11.400 not exactly
00:30:11.900 what he
00:30:12.200 said.
00:30:13.160 But it's
00:30:13.460 something like
00:30:13.880 this.
00:30:14.780 Well,
00:30:15.220 of course
00:30:15.820 you can
00:30:16.200 change
00:30:16.520 your
00:30:16.680 gender
00:30:17.020 because
00:30:18.220 people
00:30:18.600 do it.
00:30:20.120 And of
00:30:20.520 course it's
00:30:21.280 absurd that
00:30:21.860 you could
00:30:22.100 change your
00:30:22.520 race.
00:30:24.160 That was
00:30:24.840 his argument.
00:30:26.040 That's not
00:30:26.440 an argument.
00:30:28.000 That's
00:30:28.520 nothing.
00:30:30.120 He couldn't
00:30:30.980 even wave
00:30:31.920 his arm at
00:30:32.480 him.
00:30:33.340 He was
00:30:33.660 absolutely
00:30:34.360 stumped.
00:30:36.640 And this
00:30:36.940 is Alan
00:30:37.540 fucking
00:30:37.960 Dershowitz.
00:30:39.900 Right?
00:30:40.620 Dershowitz
00:30:41.040 Dershowitz is
00:30:41.400 not somebody
00:30:41.980 who doesn't
00:30:42.460 have an
00:30:42.800 argument.
00:30:44.320 And he
00:30:44.660 didn't have
00:30:45.040 an argument.
00:30:45.420 He didn't
00:30:45.620 have anything.
00:30:46.500 He basically
00:30:47.160 wanted to
00:30:47.740 mock it
00:30:48.300 away.
00:30:49.840 Let me
00:30:50.580 do the
00:30:50.920 argument in
00:30:51.740 more of
00:30:52.280 my own
00:30:52.660 style.
00:30:54.000 So I'll
00:30:54.580 try his
00:30:54.960 argument again
00:30:55.540 but more
00:30:56.000 my presentation
00:30:58.800 of it.
00:30:59.340 Of course
00:31:01.540 you can
00:31:01.900 change your
00:31:02.400 gender.
00:31:03.240 Look at
00:31:03.580 all the
00:31:03.780 people who
00:31:04.120 have done
00:31:04.300 it.
00:31:05.200 And he
00:31:05.600 actually
00:31:05.900 argued that
00:31:06.860 the people
00:31:07.200 who have
00:31:07.540 done gender
00:31:09.180 reassignment
00:31:09.700 surgery.
00:31:10.840 He says he
00:31:11.300 knows two
00:31:11.760 of them
00:31:12.020 very well
00:31:12.580 and that
00:31:13.780 they're
00:31:14.000 unambiguously
00:31:14.700 happier
00:31:15.240 because they
00:31:16.160 made the
00:31:16.500 change.
00:31:17.560 And so he
00:31:18.120 argues that
00:31:19.600 because they
00:31:20.400 were happier
00:31:21.120 unambiguously,
00:31:22.540 he knows them
00:31:23.020 well.
00:31:23.540 He has no
00:31:24.580 question that
00:31:25.080 they're happier.
00:31:26.220 They're happier
00:31:27.100 having made the
00:31:27.920 change and
00:31:28.540 therefore that's
00:31:29.960 evidence that
00:31:31.260 you can change
00:31:31.820 your gender
00:31:32.280 because the
00:31:33.740 people who
00:31:34.160 did it
00:31:34.620 are happier.
00:31:37.000 Do you see
00:31:37.680 a problem
00:31:38.180 with the
00:31:38.580 logic?
00:31:41.040 Do you
00:31:41.680 see that he
00:31:42.260 effortlessly
00:31:43.140 changed from
00:31:44.140 is it a
00:31:45.000 fact that
00:31:46.300 you can
00:31:46.600 change your
00:31:47.140 gender,
00:31:48.200 he changed
00:31:48.740 it to
00:31:49.160 people who
00:31:50.140 do it
00:31:50.520 are happier?
00:31:52.900 That's not
00:31:53.640 the argument.
00:31:55.760 Have you
00:31:56.120 heard anybody
00:31:56.840 say there's
00:31:58.180 no example
00:31:58.840 of somebody
00:31:59.340 who did
00:31:59.700 gender
00:32:00.040 surgery and
00:32:00.840 came out
00:32:01.220 happier?
00:32:01.580 Is there
00:32:02.400 anybody on
00:32:03.120 any side
00:32:03.800 of the
00:32:04.040 argument who
00:32:04.560 has ever
00:32:04.820 made that
00:32:05.240 argument?
00:32:06.500 I don't
00:32:07.160 believe so.
00:32:08.480 I believe
00:32:09.080 he was
00:32:09.420 pretending
00:32:10.480 there's an
00:32:11.080 argument that
00:32:12.740 people who
00:32:14.240 do a gender
00:32:14.700 assignment are
00:32:16.180 somehow always
00:32:17.180 unhappy about
00:32:17.880 it.
00:32:18.500 Nobody makes
00:32:19.100 that argument.
00:32:20.520 I think it's
00:32:21.260 observably true
00:32:22.380 that some
00:32:22.940 people make
00:32:23.420 the change
00:32:23.840 and are quite
00:32:24.240 happy about
00:32:24.700 it.
00:32:24.840 I don't
00:32:25.020 know what
00:32:25.240 percentage.
00:32:26.780 Do you
00:32:28.240 doubt it?
00:32:29.060 Is there
00:32:29.300 anybody here
00:32:29.760 who thinks
00:32:30.080 that nobody
00:32:30.720 has ever
00:32:31.100 been happy
00:32:31.640 with a
00:32:32.640 gender
00:32:32.860 reassignment?
00:32:34.540 Does anybody
00:32:34.940 think that?
00:32:35.920 Or do you
00:32:36.260 think in the
00:32:37.760 back of their
00:32:38.440 mind they
00:32:38.900 wish they
00:32:39.180 hadn't done
00:32:39.580 it?
00:32:41.760 Yeah.
00:32:42.460 Some of
00:32:42.940 them have
00:32:43.220 to be
00:32:43.460 happy about
00:32:43.880 it.
00:32:44.060 So this is a
00:32:46.120 complete breakdown
00:32:46.980 in the
00:32:47.820 Dershowitz
00:32:48.360 logic
00:32:49.260 fortress
00:32:51.880 if you
00:32:52.300 will.
00:32:52.740 I mean he's
00:32:53.120 a solid
00:32:53.540 logical guy
00:32:54.340 but he
00:32:54.620 just threw
00:32:56.140 it all
00:32:56.440 away on
00:32:57.380 this.
00:32:58.080 Now I'm
00:32:59.280 going to
00:32:59.460 backtrack
00:33:01.180 now and
00:33:01.500 give him
00:33:01.760 some credit.
00:33:03.320 He also
00:33:04.040 told you
00:33:04.620 exactly why
00:33:05.520 he's biased.
00:33:06.220 If somebody
00:33:08.140 gives an
00:33:08.520 opinion that
00:33:09.020 doesn't make
00:33:09.480 sense and
00:33:11.100 then they
00:33:11.380 tell you
00:33:11.680 why.
00:33:12.780 Okay here's
00:33:13.320 why it
00:33:13.620 doesn't make
00:33:14.040 sense.
00:33:14.560 He kind
00:33:15.180 of did
00:33:15.440 that.
00:33:16.420 The way
00:33:16.920 he did
00:33:17.200 that was
00:33:17.580 by talking
00:33:18.220 about his
00:33:18.740 personal
00:33:19.560 friends that
00:33:21.720 are happier.
00:33:22.880 And when he
00:33:23.360 says it
00:33:24.200 must be true
00:33:24.860 because I
00:33:25.300 have personal
00:33:25.740 friends and
00:33:26.300 they say
00:33:26.620 they're happier
00:33:27.100 and I
00:33:27.440 observe that
00:33:27.860 to be true
00:33:28.360 he's telling
00:33:30.000 you his
00:33:30.360 bias.
00:33:32.040 Right?
00:33:33.060 That's pretty
00:33:33.560 direct.
00:33:34.680 He's not
00:33:35.120 saying I
00:33:35.740 have a bias
00:33:36.400 because but
00:33:37.760 if he says
00:33:38.340 I have these
00:33:40.640 friends and
00:33:41.140 they're happy
00:33:41.620 and that
00:33:42.460 means something
00:33:43.120 he's telling
00:33:44.160 you that's
00:33:44.600 his bias.
00:33:45.820 So I'm
00:33:46.340 going to give
00:33:46.700 him a partial
00:33:47.400 pass for
00:33:49.320 being illogical
00:33:50.160 because he
00:33:50.940 told you why
00:33:51.460 and it was
00:33:52.360 a human
00:33:52.780 reason.
00:33:54.000 It was a
00:33:54.560 human reason.
00:33:56.020 Right?
00:33:56.240 It wasn't a
00:33:56.680 robot reason.
00:33:57.940 He was a
00:33:58.420 human being
00:33:58.960 and he said
00:33:59.340 you know
00:33:59.660 these are
00:34:00.620 my friends
00:34:01.200 it looks
00:34:02.360 like it
00:34:02.700 works for
00:34:03.060 them I'm
00:34:03.440 going to
00:34:03.620 back them.
00:34:04.540 He didn't
00:34:04.880 say that
00:34:05.300 but it
00:34:06.060 looks like
00:34:06.380 he's backing
00:34:06.840 his friends
00:34:07.400 and their
00:34:08.040 choice and
00:34:09.180 it looked
00:34:09.520 like he
00:34:10.120 had departed
00:34:10.640 the law
00:34:11.360 and logic
00:34:12.000 for a
00:34:12.800 human
00:34:13.080 reason.
00:34:14.020 I support
00:34:14.840 that.
00:34:15.840 I support
00:34:16.700 him taking
00:34:17.300 humanity
00:34:18.060 over logic
00:34:19.300 in any
00:34:21.400 time really
00:34:22.240 but in this
00:34:23.020 case that's
00:34:23.520 fine.
00:34:24.300 But he did
00:34:25.020 depart logic
00:34:25.680 entirely because
00:34:26.460 if you can
00:34:27.020 choose your
00:34:28.200 gender you
00:34:28.680 can choose
00:34:29.040 anything.
00:34:29.340 I think
00:34:31.940 most of
00:34:32.240 you would
00:34:32.500 agree with
00:34:32.860 that.
00:34:35.760 Here's
00:34:36.200 how I
00:34:36.560 think
00:34:36.880 oh there's
00:34:38.620 a story
00:34:38.920 about the
00:34:39.280 richest
00:34:39.600 oligarch
00:34:40.240 that still
00:34:42.120 hasn't been
00:34:42.860 put in
00:34:43.200 prison I
00:34:43.580 guess and
00:34:44.560 that he's
00:34:45.080 not being
00:34:45.600 sanctioned
00:34:47.240 because he
00:34:48.340 might be a
00:34:49.200 way to help
00:34:49.800 negotiate with
00:34:50.640 Putin.
00:34:51.840 That would be
00:34:52.280 interesting but
00:34:53.060 I can't see
00:34:53.540 Putin being
00:34:54.400 influenced by
00:34:55.100 any rich
00:34:57.060 Russian.
00:34:58.580 It just
00:34:58.980 doesn't sound
00:34:59.640 like that
00:35:00.360 makes a
00:35:00.780 difference.
00:35:01.900 I wouldn't
00:35:03.020 wait for that
00:35:03.460 to happen.
00:35:04.600 Here's my
00:35:05.480 persuasion
00:35:06.360 suggestion for
00:35:07.240 Ukraine.
00:35:09.020 And you
00:35:09.680 know everything
00:35:10.040 has to be
00:35:10.520 A-B tested.
00:35:11.360 You can never
00:35:11.740 be sure
00:35:12.160 something will
00:35:13.080 work.
00:35:13.900 But here's
00:35:14.440 what I
00:35:15.080 would have
00:35:15.280 been tempted
00:35:15.760 to do.
00:35:17.800 Ukraine has
00:35:18.480 shown lots
00:35:19.120 of pictures
00:35:19.520 of dead
00:35:20.020 Russian
00:35:20.360 soldiers.
00:35:22.200 But correct
00:35:22.920 me if I'm
00:35:23.380 wrong we
00:35:24.380 see usually
00:35:25.000 one or
00:35:26.780 maybe there
00:35:27.280 would be
00:35:27.660 three spread
00:35:29.680 out in a
00:35:30.400 little area
00:35:30.900 that's in a
00:35:31.300 picture or
00:35:31.860 a video.
00:35:34.060 If you see
00:35:34.820 videos of
00:35:35.600 individual
00:35:36.280 soldiers dead
00:35:37.720 does that
00:35:40.020 make you
00:35:40.440 worry about
00:35:41.040 let's say
00:35:41.580 your son
00:35:42.740 who's a
00:35:43.100 soldier?
00:35:43.520 Well yes.
00:35:44.580 But you also
00:35:45.140 tell yourself
00:35:45.740 well that's
00:35:46.080 just one.
00:35:47.620 There are a
00:35:48.080 million soldiers
00:35:48.760 that's one.
00:35:51.140 But suppose
00:35:51.900 Ukraine there's
00:35:52.840 a story of
00:35:53.520 one city
00:35:54.020 that's having
00:35:54.540 a problem
00:35:54.920 with all the
00:35:55.420 corpses.
00:35:55.740 So it
00:35:56.800 was a
00:35:57.000 city that
00:35:57.420 the Russians
00:35:57.780 attacked
00:35:58.260 unsuccessfully.
00:36:00.180 As the
00:36:00.960 snow is
00:36:02.640 thawing
00:36:03.120 there are a
00:36:04.360 whole bunch
00:36:04.640 of bodies
00:36:05.060 they have
00:36:05.360 to deal
00:36:05.620 with.
00:36:06.940 And here's
00:36:07.760 what I
00:36:08.020 would have
00:36:08.220 done as
00:36:08.740 horrible as
00:36:09.440 this sounds.
00:36:10.060 I understand
00:36:10.940 this sounds
00:36:11.700 horrible.
00:36:12.480 But remember
00:36:12.780 it's war.
00:36:14.220 I would
00:36:14.780 collect up as
00:36:15.500 many Russian
00:36:16.080 bodies as I
00:36:16.780 could and I
00:36:18.340 would pile
00:36:18.940 them in a
00:36:19.820 mound.
00:36:21.260 But I
00:36:21.680 might fake it
00:36:23.820 a little bit.
00:36:24.300 I might put
00:36:25.100 something under
00:36:25.700 the pile so
00:36:26.960 it looks like
00:36:27.400 it's all a
00:36:27.940 pile of dead
00:36:28.760 soldiers.
00:36:30.120 But you can
00:36:31.080 tell clearly
00:36:31.660 it's lots of
00:36:32.180 individual dead
00:36:32.940 Russian soldiers.
00:36:34.320 And then
00:36:34.560 don't show the
00:36:35.740 military throwing
00:36:36.660 them on the
00:36:37.120 pile.
00:36:38.680 Show the
00:36:39.340 townspeople
00:36:40.460 collecting them
00:36:42.200 and dragging
00:36:42.740 them up to
00:36:43.480 the pile and
00:36:44.580 throwing them
00:36:45.060 on.
00:36:45.300 And if you
00:36:47.740 were a
00:36:48.260 Russian mother
00:36:48.940 and you
00:36:50.440 watched a
00:36:50.860 video of a
00:36:51.860 pile of
00:36:53.640 Russian dead
00:36:54.280 soldiers and
00:36:55.340 you saw the
00:36:55.900 locals, not
00:36:56.540 the military,
00:36:57.380 not the
00:36:57.780 military, you
00:36:58.680 saw the
00:36:59.100 locals tossing
00:37:00.900 them on a
00:37:01.500 mound like
00:37:02.760 firewood, that
00:37:05.760 will change
00:37:06.240 your fucking
00:37:06.640 mind.
00:37:08.260 Now let me
00:37:09.380 give the
00:37:09.660 Ukrainians some
00:37:10.420 advice.
00:37:11.100 Apparently
00:37:11.440 they've talked
00:37:12.040 to Israel but
00:37:13.600 Israel must
00:37:14.300 have kept
00:37:14.820 from them
00:37:15.260 their best
00:37:15.860 technique.
00:37:18.240 Have you
00:37:18.460 ever seen a
00:37:18.980 Holocaust picture
00:37:19.880 that involved
00:37:20.420 one person?
00:37:24.040 Are we done
00:37:24.860 here?
00:37:25.840 Have you ever
00:37:26.280 seen a
00:37:26.660 Holocaust picture
00:37:27.560 that involved
00:37:28.800 one person?
00:37:29.820 Well, okay,
00:37:30.320 you have.
00:37:30.980 Yes, you
00:37:31.900 have.
00:37:33.000 But, so
00:37:34.160 let me withdraw
00:37:35.260 the question.
00:37:35.900 Of course you
00:37:36.420 have.
00:37:37.460 But, that's
00:37:38.460 not the main
00:37:38.980 persuasion.
00:37:39.600 The main
00:37:39.920 persuasion is
00:37:40.540 groups.
00:37:41.940 The stuff that
00:37:43.000 moved you,
00:37:43.600 the things
00:37:45.280 that moved
00:37:45.740 you, was
00:37:46.800 the group
00:37:47.240 pictures, the
00:37:48.340 group deaths,
00:37:49.440 the group
00:37:49.880 incarceration with
00:37:50.880 multiple starving
00:37:51.720 people, etc.
00:37:52.840 The Ukrainians
00:37:53.880 have somehow not
00:37:54.760 used that
00:37:55.300 technique.
00:37:56.240 Now I suppose
00:37:56.820 there's a risk
00:37:57.360 it could
00:37:57.660 backfire.
00:37:58.880 Could backfire.
00:38:00.100 Because it
00:38:00.480 maybe would
00:38:01.360 make the
00:38:01.700 Russians more
00:38:03.660 willing to
00:38:04.220 fight so they
00:38:04.940 don't meet
00:38:05.580 that fate.
00:38:06.160 I don't know.
00:38:06.900 But it
00:38:07.240 seems to me
00:38:07.800 that the
00:38:09.180 propaganda of
00:38:10.260 visual persuasion
00:38:11.580 is being
00:38:12.880 completely
00:38:13.520 blown by the
00:38:15.400 Ukrainians.
00:38:16.740 Because the
00:38:17.940 onesies and
00:38:18.520 twosies are
00:38:19.120 selling a story
00:38:19.780 of rarity.
00:38:21.400 Let me say it
00:38:21.900 again.
00:38:22.840 If the visual
00:38:23.680 persuasion that
00:38:24.460 they're sending
00:38:24.920 is here's a
00:38:26.120 dead soldier,
00:38:27.600 here's one
00:38:28.100 tank, it
00:38:30.100 sends a
00:38:30.600 message of
00:38:32.220 rarity of
00:38:32.940 those things.
00:38:33.740 If you show
00:38:34.440 piles, it
00:38:36.040 sends a message
00:38:36.640 of volume.
00:38:38.260 They're missing
00:38:38.980 the persuasion
00:38:39.700 here.
00:38:40.040 It's got to
00:38:40.360 be a volume
00:38:41.000 that they've
00:38:42.020 got to sell,
00:38:42.640 not individual
00:38:43.480 anecdotes.
00:38:46.540 There was a
00:38:47.200 Russian warship,
00:38:48.060 I guess it was
00:38:48.660 a transport
00:38:49.920 carrier for,
00:38:50.940 I don't know,
00:38:51.280 troops and
00:38:51.860 tanks and
00:38:52.400 stuff, that
00:38:53.140 got blown up
00:38:53.800 in one of
00:38:54.120 the Ukrainian
00:38:54.560 ports.
00:38:55.820 To which,
00:38:56.480 again, I
00:38:57.160 ask this
00:38:57.680 question.
00:38:59.340 How hard
00:39:00.120 is it to
00:39:00.560 blow up a
00:39:01.160 ship when
00:39:01.600 it's on your
00:39:02.040 shore or in
00:39:03.900 port?
00:39:05.660 I don't know
00:39:06.440 much about
00:39:07.200 war.
00:39:08.980 But wouldn't
00:39:09.780 that be the
00:39:10.400 easiest thing
00:39:11.080 you could do?
00:39:12.720 I mean, if
00:39:13.040 you had the
00:39:13.320 right equipment.
00:39:14.340 I assume you
00:39:15.000 need a
00:39:15.400 shoulder-mounted
00:39:16.440 rocket of
00:39:17.140 some sort.
00:39:18.660 I don't
00:39:19.420 understand why
00:39:20.280 there's no
00:39:20.640 such thing as
00:39:21.480 remote-controlled
00:39:22.500 drone torpedoes.
00:39:25.320 Or are
00:39:26.320 they?
00:39:27.240 And how big
00:39:27.960 would a
00:39:28.960 missile have
00:39:29.360 to be to
00:39:30.580 put a
00:39:31.220 sinking hole
00:39:32.240 in a ship
00:39:32.860 if it hits
00:39:33.300 below the
00:39:33.740 waterline?
00:39:34.760 It doesn't
00:39:35.180 have to be
00:39:35.580 that big,
00:39:36.180 does it?
00:39:37.500 I mean, it
00:39:37.920 would have to
00:39:38.160 be a special
00:39:38.680 type, I
00:39:39.180 think.
00:39:39.420 It would
00:39:39.520 have to
00:39:39.760 stick to
00:39:40.160 the hull
00:39:40.480 and then
00:39:41.720 blow up
00:39:42.640 or something.
00:39:43.320 So it
00:39:43.660 probably needs
00:39:44.120 some science
00:39:44.740 on it.
00:39:46.180 Somebody says
00:39:46.780 radio control
00:39:47.500 doesn't work
00:39:48.020 underwater.
00:39:48.540 Does GPS?
00:39:50.040 Does GPS
00:39:50.640 work underwater?
00:39:52.880 There are
00:39:53.580 drone subs,
00:39:54.440 but we don't
00:39:55.060 have much
00:39:55.440 information on
00:39:56.120 them, somebody
00:39:56.460 said.
00:39:57.220 So here's
00:39:57.660 the question.
00:39:58.880 Are you
00:39:59.220 telling me
00:39:59.620 that America
00:40:00.200 does not
00:40:00.780 have a
00:40:02.040 drone sub
00:40:02.960 that you
00:40:04.120 could carry,
00:40:06.280 that you
00:40:06.640 could actually
00:40:07.000 carry?
00:40:07.340 It might
00:40:07.620 take two
00:40:08.000 people or
00:40:08.460 something.
00:40:09.300 But the
00:40:09.540 you could
00:40:09.800 carry and
00:40:11.780 just drop
00:40:12.400 it in the
00:40:12.740 water and
00:40:13.260 sort of aim
00:40:13.700 it in the
00:40:14.020 right direction
00:40:14.540 and it would
00:40:15.020 just blow up
00:40:15.720 something a
00:40:16.240 mile away?
00:40:17.300 We don't
00:40:17.620 have that?
00:40:19.000 I feel like
00:40:19.780 we do.
00:40:21.600 Is there
00:40:22.120 anybody here
00:40:22.540 who would
00:40:22.800 know if
00:40:23.840 such a thing
00:40:24.400 exists?
00:40:26.500 Somebody says
00:40:27.180 torpedoes go
00:40:28.080 about more
00:40:29.240 than a mile?
00:40:30.120 Okay.
00:40:31.020 But then you've
00:40:31.580 got the aiming
00:40:32.820 and navigation
00:40:33.460 part if it's
00:40:34.120 too far.
00:40:36.160 We do but
00:40:37.020 the Ukrainians
00:40:37.680 don't.
00:40:38.180 Well, that's
00:40:39.420 the question,
00:40:39.960 isn't it?
00:40:40.720 We do but
00:40:41.580 the Ukrainians
00:40:42.420 don't.
00:40:43.980 Do you think
00:40:44.580 they still
00:40:44.980 don't?
00:40:47.040 We are
00:40:47.660 giving them
00:40:48.180 Neptune
00:40:48.700 missiles,
00:40:49.980 shore to
00:40:51.080 ship.
00:40:52.180 Somebody do
00:40:53.340 a Google
00:40:53.760 and tell me
00:40:54.500 what distance
00:40:56.120 a Neptune
00:40:57.060 missile fired
00:40:58.980 from the
00:40:59.420 shore
00:40:59.760 can reach.
00:41:04.120 Germans
00:41:05.320 have a
00:41:05.680 torpedo
00:41:06.220 with 50
00:41:06.900 kilometer
00:41:07.280 range,
00:41:07.720 somebody says.
00:41:11.520 Scott,
00:41:12.160 please change
00:41:12.720 the subject.
00:41:13.440 No.
00:41:14.540 No.
00:41:15.400 Because the
00:41:16.100 reason I talk
00:41:16.680 about this
00:41:17.040 stuff is for
00:41:18.180 prediction
00:41:18.640 purposes.
00:41:20.820 If you want
00:41:21.500 to predict
00:41:21.840 where the war
00:41:22.320 is going,
00:41:23.280 knowing the
00:41:23.920 technology,
00:41:25.200 I think,
00:41:26.020 is the key.
00:41:27.380 Because we
00:41:28.040 kind of have a
00:41:28.700 handle on the
00:41:29.200 other stuff.
00:41:29.640 It's clear that
00:41:30.200 the Ukrainians
00:41:30.800 are fighting.
00:41:31.900 It's clear that
00:41:32.440 they're trained.
00:41:33.100 It's clear that
00:41:33.620 they're not
00:41:33.960 giving up.
00:41:35.040 Beyond that,
00:41:35.680 you kind of
00:41:36.060 need to know
00:41:36.820 the weapon.
00:41:37.860 All right.
00:41:41.140 I will change
00:41:42.140 the subject.
00:41:43.900 Lindsey Graham
00:41:44.920 is being
00:41:46.280 theatrical,
00:41:48.160 and he's going
00:41:48.600 to maybe vote
00:41:49.420 against Jackson
00:41:50.540 because he's
00:41:52.260 mad that,
00:41:53.660 let's say,
00:41:54.860 however long
00:41:55.820 ago it was,
00:41:57.100 Janice Rogers
00:41:57.780 Brown, who was
00:41:58.580 a black woman
00:41:59.220 that George
00:41:59.940 Bush nominated,
00:42:01.380 so she was
00:42:02.400 turned down
00:42:02.860 to the Dems
00:42:03.540 and now
00:42:04.240 Graham is
00:42:04.900 saying,
00:42:05.300 hey,
00:42:05.540 I'm just
00:42:06.040 going to
00:42:06.200 return the
00:42:06.660 favor.
00:42:08.120 Because it
00:42:10.320 would have
00:42:10.620 allowed,
00:42:11.320 under Bush,
00:42:12.220 it would have
00:42:12.620 allowed the
00:42:13.060 Republicans to
00:42:14.160 nominate the
00:42:14.920 first black
00:42:15.640 woman for the
00:42:16.300 Supreme Court.
00:42:17.500 And the
00:42:17.800 Democrats didn't
00:42:18.540 want the
00:42:18.900 Republicans to
00:42:19.700 get that
00:42:20.200 win,
00:42:21.600 and so that's
00:42:22.300 the reason they
00:42:22.840 stopped the
00:42:23.280 nomination,
00:42:23.820 not the
00:42:24.120 qualifications of
00:42:24.940 the judge,
00:42:25.840 not the
00:42:26.360 qualifications of
00:42:27.140 the judge.
00:42:27.480 and so
00:42:31.200 Lindsay is
00:42:31.780 deciding to
00:42:32.360 basically pay
00:42:33.080 them back.
00:42:34.380 Now, here's
00:42:34.980 my decision.
00:42:36.520 How does
00:42:37.200 that work?
00:42:39.520 Like, what's
00:42:40.840 his point?
00:42:42.740 So Lindsay
00:42:43.820 does the same
00:42:44.460 thing to them
00:42:45.200 that they did
00:42:45.880 to him,
00:42:47.240 and that will
00:42:47.860 make them less
00:42:49.260 likely to do it
00:42:50.100 in the future?
00:42:51.100 Or would they
00:42:52.020 be more likely
00:42:53.180 to do it?
00:42:53.780 because the
00:42:57.620 other team did
00:42:58.240 it?
00:43:00.840 Now, I
00:43:01.600 understand there's
00:43:03.360 a Republican
00:43:03.960 point of view
00:43:04.720 that I hear a
00:43:07.320 lot.
00:43:11.560 What time is
00:43:12.200 it?
00:43:13.960 How did my
00:43:14.600 phone disappear?
00:43:16.740 That's weird.
00:43:19.500 You're going
00:43:19.920 to have to
00:43:20.140 tell me the
00:43:20.500 time.
00:43:23.780 So somebody's
00:43:25.980 going to have
00:43:27.800 to tell me
00:43:28.420 how the
00:43:29.720 Lindsey Graham
00:43:30.480 strategy works.
00:43:32.500 Just explain it
00:43:33.360 to me in words.
00:43:35.000 So this is
00:43:36.080 what I'm
00:43:36.380 looking for.
00:43:37.560 So the
00:43:37.960 Lindsey Graham
00:43:38.560 strategy is to
00:43:39.560 pay them back
00:43:40.520 for what they
00:43:41.060 act the same
00:43:42.220 way.
00:43:44.060 And so
00:43:44.360 because you
00:43:44.860 did that,
00:43:46.260 probably the
00:43:47.420 judge will
00:43:47.960 still be
00:43:48.360 confirmed,
00:43:48.880 so it
00:43:49.120 probably has
00:43:49.520 nothing to
00:43:49.940 do with
00:43:50.180 this judge.
00:43:51.360 It won't
00:43:51.600 have any
00:43:51.960 impact.
00:43:52.340 What is
00:43:53.900 its point?
00:43:55.720 And I'm
00:43:56.220 not even
00:43:56.520 saying it's
00:43:56.960 a bad
00:43:57.300 idea.
00:43:58.140 I'm not
00:43:58.480 saying it's
00:43:58.820 a bad
00:43:59.100 idea or
00:43:59.460 a good
00:43:59.700 idea.
00:44:00.400 I don't
00:44:01.540 connect the
00:44:02.840 dots.
00:44:04.440 So he
00:44:04.800 does this
00:44:05.580 and then
00:44:06.900 is his
00:44:08.720 theory,
00:44:09.720 is the
00:44:10.080 theory he's
00:44:10.540 working on
00:44:11.100 that the
00:44:12.140 Democrats
00:44:12.620 will then
00:44:13.280 see the
00:44:16.800 light and
00:44:17.580 stop acting
00:44:18.180 that way?
00:44:20.980 Explain it.
00:44:21.820 How does
00:44:22.180 it work?
00:44:23.160 And do
00:44:23.440 you think
00:44:23.740 that any
00:44:24.240 show that
00:44:25.020 Lindsey Graham
00:44:25.660 goes on,
00:44:27.100 which typically
00:44:28.000 will be like
00:44:28.640 a Fox News
00:44:29.300 show, do
00:44:29.840 you think
00:44:30.040 anybody on
00:44:30.540 Fox News
00:44:30.980 is going to
00:44:31.360 ask him
00:44:31.700 that question?
00:44:33.140 How does
00:44:33.580 that work?
00:44:36.360 How does
00:44:36.880 that make
00:44:37.160 the world
00:44:37.540 a better
00:44:37.840 place?
00:44:38.380 How does
00:44:38.620 it make
00:44:38.880 Republicans
00:44:39.460 look better
00:44:40.040 to voters?
00:44:41.380 How does
00:44:41.760 it stop a
00:44:42.340 nomination?
00:44:42.840 How does
00:44:43.020 it do
00:44:43.220 anything?
00:44:44.720 How does
00:44:45.000 it possibly
00:44:45.480 work?
00:44:46.680 And I'll
00:44:47.600 say to you
00:44:47.980 again that
00:44:48.940 the Republicans
00:44:49.540 had free
00:44:50.220 money here.
00:44:50.760 absolutely
00:44:52.060 free money.
00:44:53.440 All they
00:44:54.140 had to do
00:44:54.600 is unanimously
00:44:55.420 put this
00:44:57.220 woman in
00:44:57.760 and imagine
00:44:59.080 the news
00:44:59.660 from that
00:45:00.040 point on.
00:45:01.360 From that
00:45:01.960 point on,
00:45:02.940 and even
00:45:03.560 today I saw
00:45:04.320 the news
00:45:04.880 saying what
00:45:05.780 the votes
00:45:06.160 were.
00:45:06.860 So I guess
00:45:07.200 Scalia got
00:45:08.000 in in like
00:45:08.640 a 90 to
00:45:10.740 nothing vote.
00:45:12.800 And I
00:45:13.040 think,
00:45:14.000 what's her
00:45:15.760 name,
00:45:16.000 Ginsburg,
00:45:17.000 I think she
00:45:17.520 got in on
00:45:18.200 87 to
00:45:20.320 3 or
00:45:20.820 something,
00:45:21.420 like some
00:45:21.840 crazy number.
00:45:23.820 And then
00:45:24.080 more recently,
00:45:25.220 yeah,
00:45:25.540 and Thomas
00:45:26.020 was 52 to
00:45:26.660 48,
00:45:27.200 but more
00:45:27.600 recently,
00:45:28.540 it's been
00:45:28.920 close.
00:45:32.120 Somebody says,
00:45:32.880 wow,
00:45:33.160 you're not
00:45:33.560 aware of
00:45:34.000 human Democrat
00:45:34.880 motivation.
00:45:36.620 And you know
00:45:36.940 what?
00:45:37.540 Somebody just
00:45:38.060 said I'm not
00:45:38.580 aware of
00:45:39.300 Democrat
00:45:40.040 motivation.
00:45:40.640 I'm still
00:45:42.580 not,
00:45:43.980 because that
00:45:44.400 comment didn't
00:45:45.080 help me.
00:45:46.420 But you
00:45:46.740 know what
00:45:47.060 would fit
00:45:47.880 good in
00:45:48.320 that space?
00:45:49.460 A description
00:45:50.340 of the
00:45:50.700 motivation that
00:45:51.380 you think
00:45:51.680 they have
00:45:52.020 that I'm
00:45:52.300 missing.
00:45:53.680 So please,
00:45:55.060 if you think
00:45:56.320 you can
00:45:56.760 describe it
00:45:57.320 in a
00:45:57.540 sentence,
00:45:57.920 I think
00:45:58.220 you can,
00:45:59.840 tell me
00:46:00.240 the Democrat
00:46:00.700 motivation
00:46:01.260 that I'm
00:46:01.560 missing.
00:46:02.520 This is on
00:46:02.980 the locals
00:46:03.400 platform,
00:46:04.300 so you don't
00:46:04.780 see these
00:46:05.120 comments.
00:46:08.160 Yeah.
00:46:09.660 Okay.
00:46:10.800 So here's
00:46:11.580 what the
00:46:12.500 Republicans have
00:46:13.960 missed,
00:46:14.360 but not yet.
00:46:14.940 I mean,
00:46:15.240 they could
00:46:15.500 still grab
00:46:16.040 this.
00:46:16.620 If the
00:46:17.000 Republicans
00:46:17.420 can find
00:46:18.340 a way to
00:46:19.260 give a
00:46:19.640 100%
00:46:20.380 support to
00:46:21.140 a female
00:46:21.980 black
00:46:22.580 qualified
00:46:23.580 candidate,
00:46:24.600 even when
00:46:25.320 they have
00:46:25.620 some questions,
00:46:26.840 because they
00:46:27.160 do have
00:46:27.460 some issues
00:46:27.920 with her,
00:46:28.520 but if
00:46:28.860 they can
00:46:29.100 find a
00:46:29.420 way to
00:46:29.640 do that,
00:46:31.320 the
00:46:32.020 Republicans
00:46:32.460 win,
00:46:33.840 because they'll
00:46:35.120 always have
00:46:35.780 that on
00:46:36.200 their record.
00:46:37.600 And then
00:46:37.820 the next
00:46:38.220 time the
00:46:38.580 Democrats
00:46:38.940 go against
00:46:39.620 the Republican
00:46:40.280 nominee,
00:46:41.800 do you know
00:46:42.080 what every
00:46:43.380 story has to
00:46:44.060 print?
00:46:44.940 Well,
00:46:45.620 you know
00:46:46.060 we gave
00:46:46.600 your
00:46:46.820 candidate
00:46:47.240 100%
00:46:48.240 support.
00:46:50.000 That's the
00:46:50.720 position they
00:46:51.320 should put
00:46:51.620 the Democrats
00:46:52.140 in, to
00:46:53.520 explain why
00:46:54.300 they're not
00:46:54.740 giving 100%
00:46:55.600 support.
00:46:56.620 Because even
00:46:57.300 the news that
00:46:58.320 supports the
00:46:58.920 Democrats would
00:47:00.620 ask that
00:47:01.100 question.
00:47:02.580 Even CNN
00:47:03.300 would make
00:47:04.100 them answer
00:47:04.500 the question.
00:47:05.860 Am I wrong?
00:47:06.380 I think even
00:47:07.820 CNN would
00:47:08.420 say, you
00:47:08.840 know, let's
00:47:10.020 take Jake
00:47:10.460 Tapper.
00:47:12.260 I know, I
00:47:13.080 know, you
00:47:13.400 have your
00:47:13.980 criticisms of
00:47:14.840 Jake Tapper,
00:47:15.680 and that's
00:47:16.720 not the
00:47:17.000 point.
00:47:17.860 You don't
00:47:18.380 think that
00:47:18.800 Jake Tapper
00:47:19.420 would ask
00:47:21.540 the Democrats
00:47:22.720 why they
00:47:23.280 don't do
00:47:23.820 what the
00:47:25.060 Republicans
00:47:25.460 did and
00:47:26.040 say, okay,
00:47:26.540 we know
00:47:26.900 which way
00:47:27.420 this is
00:47:27.760 going to
00:47:27.980 go, so
00:47:29.940 let's just
00:47:30.620 show our
00:47:30.960 support.
00:47:31.300 I think
00:47:33.620 he would
00:47:33.840 ask.
00:47:34.380 I think
00:47:34.600 he would
00:47:34.780 ask.
00:47:35.100 And I
00:47:35.480 think the
00:47:35.900 Democrats
00:47:36.240 would have
00:47:36.580 a tough
00:47:36.880 time wrestling
00:47:38.100 with the
00:47:38.480 question.
00:47:39.780 So I
00:47:40.640 think the
00:47:41.100 Republicans
00:47:41.540 are making
00:47:42.000 a gigantic
00:47:42.660 strategic
00:47:43.300 mistake to
00:47:45.020 die at the
00:47:45.640 altar of
00:47:46.220 fighting instead
00:47:47.980 of fighting
00:47:48.500 smart.
00:47:50.060 Let me give
00:47:50.900 you this
00:47:51.180 advice.
00:47:52.700 Fighting
00:47:53.180 smart,
00:47:54.940 excellent
00:47:55.400 idea.
00:47:56.640 Excellent
00:47:56.960 idea.
00:47:58.380 Fighting
00:47:58.900 because you
00:47:59.540 think fighting
00:48:00.160 is good,
00:48:01.300 bad idea.
00:48:03.920 Bad idea.
00:48:05.560 Let me say
00:48:05.960 it again
00:48:06.340 because I
00:48:06.700 know a lot
00:48:07.000 of people
00:48:07.240 are missing
00:48:07.560 this good
00:48:08.780 point.
00:48:10.340 Fighting
00:48:10.780 when fighting
00:48:11.320 is a good
00:48:11.840 idea and
00:48:12.320 you have a
00:48:12.580 chance to
00:48:12.940 win and
00:48:13.240 you've got
00:48:13.480 a good
00:48:13.700 strategy,
00:48:14.260 good idea.
00:48:15.520 Good idea.
00:48:17.120 Fighting
00:48:17.560 when you
00:48:17.940 know you
00:48:18.280 can't win
00:48:18.740 and it's
00:48:19.140 only going
00:48:19.420 to make
00:48:19.620 everything
00:48:19.980 worse,
00:48:21.420 this will
00:48:21.780 surprise
00:48:22.100 you.
00:48:23.160 Bad
00:48:23.600 idea.
00:48:24.320 Thumbs
00:48:24.600 down.
00:48:26.100 So that's
00:48:26.640 my advice
00:48:27.060 to Republicans.
00:48:27.980 Fight the
00:48:28.340 fights you
00:48:28.680 can win.
00:48:29.060 And the
00:48:31.500 ones you
00:48:31.820 can't
00:48:32.080 win,
00:48:32.480 take a
00:48:32.900 win any
00:48:33.340 way you
00:48:33.620 can get
00:48:33.920 it.
00:48:36.120 All right.
00:48:38.420 That,
00:48:39.020 ladies and
00:48:39.380 gentlemen,
00:48:40.960 is bringing
00:48:42.100 us to the
00:48:42.640 conclusion of
00:48:43.700 the best
00:48:44.580 live stream
00:48:45.260 that has
00:48:46.640 ever been
00:48:47.740 broadcast
00:48:48.260 anywhere in
00:48:48.860 the world
00:48:49.180 at any
00:48:49.660 time to
00:48:50.280 anybody.
00:48:50.640 And I
00:48:56.760 ask you
00:48:57.140 this.
00:48:59.180 So far,
00:49:00.240 I have
00:49:00.600 been
00:49:00.880 completely
00:49:01.540 able to
00:49:02.600 identify
00:49:05.000 as a
00:49:06.660 black
00:49:07.020 citizen.
00:49:09.600 Have you
00:49:10.300 been surprised
00:49:11.020 that I've
00:49:11.620 gotten no
00:49:12.140 pushback
00:49:12.620 from that?
00:49:13.960 Anybody?
00:49:16.580 Because I
00:49:17.260 keep saying
00:49:17.700 it, like,
00:49:18.480 prominently
00:49:19.000 and in
00:49:19.320 public.
00:49:19.560 And by
00:49:20.020 the way,
00:49:20.340 I will
00:49:20.600 say it on
00:49:21.880 national TV
00:49:22.720 if I'm
00:49:23.760 doing a
00:49:24.100 book tour
00:49:24.440 or something,
00:49:24.960 if I get
00:49:25.320 interviewed.
00:49:25.700 I will
00:49:25.920 say it on
00:49:26.260 national TV.
00:49:27.080 And I
00:49:27.520 will say
00:49:27.880 it completely
00:49:29.100 straight.
00:49:31.360 I mean,
00:49:31.880 I'll say the
00:49:32.960 reasons,
00:49:33.720 because there's
00:49:34.100 nothing hidden.
00:49:35.580 The reasons
00:49:36.140 are that it's
00:49:36.700 my option.
00:49:38.220 And I
00:49:38.520 kind of,
00:49:38.980 I like it.
00:49:40.540 I don't
00:49:41.080 need to give
00:49:41.560 you a reason.
00:49:42.520 I just
00:49:42.900 have to
00:49:43.240 prefer it
00:49:43.840 and know
00:49:45.280 it's an
00:49:45.560 option.
00:49:46.380 So I
00:49:46.920 prefer it,
00:49:47.980 I know
00:49:48.340 it's an
00:49:48.640 option.
00:49:49.580 It gives
00:49:49.960 me very
00:49:50.440 discreet
00:49:51.000 benefits if
00:49:51.720 I should
00:49:52.020 choose to
00:49:52.420 take them.
00:49:53.200 So for
00:49:53.500 example,
00:49:54.420 if I were
00:49:54.940 to sign
00:49:55.840 up for
00:49:56.140 some
00:49:56.380 government
00:49:56.740 program or
00:49:57.460 something,
00:49:58.360 let's say it
00:49:59.200 favored minority
00:50:00.740 applicants for
00:50:01.420 loans,
00:50:02.420 I would sign
00:50:03.540 up,
00:50:04.260 identify as
00:50:04.840 black,
00:50:06.200 nobody can
00:50:06.860 question it
00:50:07.380 because those
00:50:07.880 are the rules,
00:50:08.480 and I would
00:50:08.820 get those
00:50:09.160 benefits.
00:50:09.540 Am I
00:50:11.580 wrong?
00:50:11.840 Well, I
00:50:13.400 would.
00:50:14.100 Now, I
00:50:15.040 wouldn't
00:50:15.400 specifically do
00:50:16.440 that because
00:50:17.280 I'm rich and
00:50:18.060 I wouldn't,
00:50:18.740 you know, if
00:50:19.660 you're rich, you
00:50:20.220 don't want to
00:50:20.660 use a weasel
00:50:21.500 way to steal
00:50:22.480 money from
00:50:23.000 black people.
00:50:24.940 That would
00:50:25.400 be like the
00:50:26.140 worst thing you
00:50:26.660 could do.
00:50:27.060 So I wouldn't
00:50:27.420 actually do
00:50:28.000 that.
00:50:28.560 But there
00:50:28.900 have to be
00:50:29.360 situations that
00:50:30.160 will come up
00:50:30.660 in my life in
00:50:32.060 which identifying
00:50:32.880 as black might
00:50:34.020 be an advantage.
00:50:35.600 So I have
00:50:36.320 that option and
00:50:36.980 you don't,
00:50:38.120 unless you're
00:50:38.740 black.
00:50:39.000 Yeah.
00:50:44.180 There's
00:50:44.720 somebody here
00:50:45.180 identifying as
00:50:46.060 a six-foot-two
00:50:47.120 stud.
00:50:48.620 I accept your
00:50:49.700 identification.
00:50:53.540 What?
00:50:55.740 I think
00:50:56.480 there's somebody
00:50:57.040 Italian-American
00:50:58.800 on here who
00:50:59.440 says they're
00:51:00.180 just glad I
00:51:00.800 don't identify
00:51:01.400 as Italian.
00:51:04.160 I can feel
00:51:05.240 that remark.
00:51:06.200 I see where
00:51:06.560 you're going
00:51:07.500 with that.
00:51:09.000 I see your
00:51:09.680 point.
00:51:11.180 All right.
00:51:11.980 That is about
00:51:12.740 all I have to
00:51:13.280 say today.
00:51:14.260 And I would
00:51:14.920 like to leave
00:51:15.500 you with that.
00:51:16.500 YouTube,
00:51:17.040 thanks for
00:51:17.420 joining us.
00:51:18.740 Best show
00:51:19.220 ever.
