00:00:00.000 And welcome to another insanely great experience.
00:00:07.540 I don't even call this entertainment.
00:00:09.660 It's not education, it's not entertainment, it's an experience.
00:00:13.100 You're going to feel this from the inside out today.
00:00:16.080 The hair on the back of your neck is going to be tingle, tingle, tingle.
00:00:20.020 And not only that, but you're going to feel like everything's starting to head in the right direction.
00:00:27.840 Why?
00:00:28.260 Why? Because perhaps it is.
00:00:30.760 This might be the beginning of something special that begins with a simultaneous sip.
00:00:37.120 You don't want to miss it because it could be the key to unlocking all of the happiness for the rest of your life.
00:00:42.160 I'm just saying, you might regret it if you miss it.
00:00:45.240 And all you need is a cup of mug, a glass, a tankard, a cellist, or a stein.
00:00:49.440 A canteen jug of a vessel of any kind.
00:00:52.840 Fill it with your favorite beverage.
00:00:56.100 I like coffee.
00:00:57.120 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:01:02.140 It's the dopamine of the day.
00:01:03.440 The thing makes everything better.
00:01:05.620 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:01:08.200 And it happens now.
00:01:08.780 Go!
00:01:08.940 So, yes, the oft-quoted verse.
00:01:15.820 That's correct.
00:01:17.300 Oh, that was so good.
00:01:19.400 What is that?
00:01:20.060 Well, what's happening lately?
00:01:28.240 So, CNN's a streaming service called CNN Plus.
00:01:33.020 CNN Plus, it's not a plus anymore.
00:01:36.900 So, CNN Plus got minused.
00:01:41.840 So, their new owners of the company that bought CNN said, let's get rid of this lame service that only reportedly had 10,000 subscribers.
00:01:50.680 Which is, I think the bad part was not, if you think about it, the bad part is not that, that they didn't get a lot of customers.
00:02:07.880 What?
00:02:13.600 Okay.
00:02:14.300 Somebody paid $50 for the most obtuse comment on YouTube ever.
00:02:18.500 But the problem, I think, with CNN Plus is that as a subscription service, and it was subscription, right?
00:02:28.640 That was the whole point.
00:02:30.500 I think this is where CNN showed the world how much people valued their content.
00:02:37.520 Because nobody would pay for a little extra.
00:02:42.580 Isn't that the real problem?
00:02:43.980 So, the real problem, I don't think, is that it didn't work out as a technology or as a business model.
00:02:50.940 I think what it did is it showed that the flagship of the property, the main TV show, probably isn't something that anybody would pay for.
00:03:01.480 Now, that kind of makes sense, doesn't it?
00:03:03.420 Because you would think that you would see the same news for free somewhere else.
00:03:07.580 But wouldn't you see the same news that's on Fox News for free somewhere else?
00:03:13.980 Because they have a streaming service that is still around, so it must be doing better.
00:03:20.200 If you think about it, CNN actually doesn't have a product.
00:03:24.220 Because their product can be substituted with, how about nothing?
00:03:29.260 I'll just watch MSNBC, and I'll read the New York Times, and I'll look at a website, and I'm going to see the same news.
00:03:36.940 Because the left-leaning news has lots of competition.
00:03:40.720 So, that's really the big story, is that nobody would pay for it.
00:03:43.980 Here's a smallish story becoming a big story.
00:03:50.920 And I wonder if the big corporate press will pick up on this or not.
00:03:56.520 I think they might have to kill this story.
00:03:59.940 But, as you know, Michael Schellenberger is running for governor in California as an independent,
00:04:05.200 which normally would be just sort of the graveyard to losing an election.
00:04:13.340 But he's the most unique candidate.
00:04:17.280 Well, that doesn't make sense.
00:04:18.840 Nothing is the most unique.
00:04:19.980 But he's the first candidate I know of who has tried to run on competence and knowledge.
00:04:27.160 Somebody was going to try it eventually.
00:04:32.100 So, all he does is he's got books that are exactly on topic that he has researched.
00:04:39.760 And so, he has very specific solutions that are exactly tailored for the state.
00:04:47.160 They have wider application, but they're perfectly suited for running for governor.
00:04:51.480 So, he's demonstrated a body of knowledge in great detail, along with solutions to the specific problems of California.
00:04:58.880 And he just won.
00:04:59.680 So, here's the big news.
00:05:01.420 He just won a coveted endorsement from one of the biggest endorsing groups, taxpayer groups in California,
00:05:12.060 whose name I dumbly forgot to copy and paste into my notes.
00:05:16.960 But the point is, he just got a huge endorsement as an independent.
00:05:22.620 And it's not an accident.
00:05:24.860 Before, yeah, it was the Jarvis.
00:05:28.400 Somebody will tell me it's the Jarvis Taxes, somebody, blah, blah, blah.
00:05:32.100 So, it's a very influential group.
00:05:34.920 And the fact that they liked him and their orientation is taxes, that's a pretty strong endorsement,
00:05:45.320 given that he's coming in with lots of solutions for social problems.
00:05:50.860 The fact that the tax people like him also.
00:05:54.480 Like, who does that?
00:05:56.500 Who gets an endorsement?
00:05:58.200 Well, who comes in with specific, proven solutions for social problems,
00:06:05.620 like homelessness and drug addiction, you know, and drug addicts on the street,
00:06:13.420 but also climate change?
00:06:18.200 Not from a panicked perspective, but from a practical perspective of what you can and cannot do
00:06:25.420 and what works and what doesn't.
00:06:26.640 So, he comes in with all these things that fix,
00:06:30.260 they're really designed to fix the problems that the people on the left would also say are big problems.
00:06:36.840 And he gets an endorsement from the people who like low taxes.
00:06:41.760 It just shows you that his solutions don't require a lot of money.
00:06:46.200 And they work.
00:06:48.400 So, apparently, they read all of his books and said,
00:06:51.760 okay, these are practical solutions that don't look like they cost a lot of money.
00:06:56.640 And, boom.
00:06:58.980 I mean, this is a really, really big deal.
00:07:01.960 And it's probably right, it's teetering on the edge of the larger corporate press,
00:07:07.360 noticing that something's going on here that's not like anything else.
00:07:12.100 Yeah, do you know what makes a story?
00:07:13.400 You've heard, it's not a story if a dog bites a man, because that happens all the time,
00:07:19.580 but it's a story if a man bites a dog.
00:07:23.440 So, the news is always looking for somebody who's doing something not just better,
00:07:27.940 because that's not really news,
00:07:29.760 and not really just more of it,
00:07:32.340 because that's why you don't see a lot of reporting on the details of, like, shootings every weekend,
00:07:37.540 because it's sort of the same story, there's more of it.
00:07:40.780 So, that's not as newsworthy as other stuff.
00:07:43.800 But when somebody does something in a completely different way, like AOC,
00:07:48.940 you know, AOC was sort of a story of, you know, the way she did it, wouldn't you say?
00:07:54.180 Because she did things differently, that's what was exciting.
00:07:59.800 She was young, she was young, she just had everything going on to make it something that was different.
00:08:05.180 But Schellenberger's doing the same thing in a far more directed way, like directed solutions way.
00:08:11.640 And nobody's done this.
00:08:14.060 And correct me if I'm wrong, but nobody's even tried this.
00:08:17.200 Nobody's tried to demonstrate great mastery of content with specific solutions,
00:08:24.480 and then run for office.
00:08:27.360 Am I wrong?
00:08:28.600 I don't think it's ever been done.
00:08:30.060 And if it has been done, I doubt it's been done this well,
00:08:32.720 because it's so directed at things that Californians care about.
00:08:37.140 Anyway, it's going to get big.
00:08:40.660 So let's talk about, do you all know the background to the story about,
00:08:45.320 about DeSantis fighting against Disney and taking away Disney's special status,
00:08:52.620 because Disney opposed the so-called don't say gay law,
00:08:57.840 which isn't really a don't say gay law.
00:09:00.660 And are you following this whole story, everybody?
00:09:03.940 So I don't want to give you the whole background,
00:09:06.400 because most of you probably are familiar with it.
00:09:09.200 So you can Google it if you need to.
00:09:12.000 But here's my take on it.
00:09:13.480 So even Fox News uses the word retaliation
00:09:18.340 as for why DeSantis wants to remove from Disney
00:09:21.780 some special status they had where they could control the land
00:09:26.300 and the area that they owned
00:09:28.060 without as much government red tape and interference.
00:09:32.720 Now, my understanding is that when it was first granted to them,
00:09:36.740 it was because it just made everything easier.
00:09:39.080 They just didn't have to go through all the government red tape
00:09:42.820 to do things that, you know, probably made sense.
00:09:46.880 And it was good for the state.
00:09:48.220 And, you know, Florida got lots of tourists,
00:09:52.160 and Disney got their work done cheaper and easier.
00:09:56.200 And I don't know, maybe some tax.
00:09:58.320 Did they have some tax benefits too?
00:10:00.100 Something like that.
00:10:00.740 So I don't know the history of it, but here's the thing.
00:10:04.660 I could not argue that it should or should not exist,
00:10:08.400 because I'd have to look into it more deeply.
00:10:10.560 But I don't care about that at the moment.
00:10:13.840 If you're doing something in the political realm
00:10:17.120 that even the people who are on your side call retaliation,
00:10:21.600 I feel like you should be impeached for that.
00:10:23.820 And otherwise, I think DeSantis is sort of a superstar.
00:10:29.100 I mean, I could easily imagine a DeSantis presidency
00:10:32.440 that would do a lot of good stuff,
00:10:34.020 that would not be crazy,
00:10:36.120 and wouldn't be as divisive as maybe other people,
00:10:39.400 anybody you're thinking of.
00:10:42.420 So I have a very high opinion of DeSantis.
00:10:46.080 And now, hold on, hold on.
00:10:48.960 Have you heard my argument yet?
00:10:50.400 I'm seeing the critics already descend.
00:10:54.900 But I'm going to get to your point of view.
00:10:57.420 I promise you,
00:10:59.340 I will try to characterize your point of view
00:11:03.220 as accurately as possible.
00:11:05.700 If you'll allow me.
00:11:06.960 Just hold off, right?
00:11:08.900 Okay?
00:11:09.420 Because this isn't the place you come to
00:11:11.020 for the reflex opinions
00:11:12.880 that are going to look like everybody else's opinions.
00:11:15.500 You wouldn't be here for that.
00:11:16.560 Now, so the argument in favor of retaliation
00:11:23.660 would go like this.
00:11:25.540 And see if I can characterize this for you
00:11:28.060 as strongly as you'd like.
00:11:30.300 The argument for DeSantis would be
00:11:32.540 you really have to push back every place you can.
00:11:36.980 Otherwise, the left, if they get an inch,
00:11:38.860 they'll take a mile.
00:11:39.760 You've seen it a million times.
00:11:41.800 Nothing matters but power.
00:11:43.600 It's all about power.
00:11:44.680 And if you let them push you
00:11:47.200 and you don't push back,
00:11:49.060 then, you know, the whole thing falls apart.
00:11:52.860 Is that strong enough?
00:11:56.560 Does that capture your general opinion?
00:12:00.980 Okay.
00:12:01.580 Now, I'm also going to start agreeing with you.
00:12:04.920 So now I've described your opinion.
00:12:09.020 Now, somebody called that a straw man.
00:12:10.880 Was that a straw man?
00:12:11.620 I thought that was actually a steel man,
00:12:14.640 but is that a straw man?
00:12:17.420 I feel like that's a strong argument.
00:12:20.580 So I'm going to now agree with it.
00:12:22.340 In my opinion,
00:12:23.660 the argument that you should push back
00:12:26.380 against anybody who's trying to
00:12:28.800 continuously push you,
00:12:30.680 right, we're not talking about
00:12:31.600 like a one-off situation
00:12:32.920 that you might treat differently.
00:12:34.400 I'm talking about like a permanent power situation
00:12:37.100 where one side is always pushing you.
00:12:39.440 They're just always pushing you.
00:12:40.460 I would think that it's a perfectly strong
00:12:43.760 and valid argument
00:12:44.620 based on history
00:12:46.160 and human psychology
00:12:48.420 and motivation
00:12:49.140 and basically every observation
00:12:52.120 in science we know
00:12:53.300 that it makes sense to push back.
00:12:56.560 Are we all on the same page?
00:13:00.460 So far?
00:13:02.760 Is that a straw man?
00:13:04.160 I'm not sure if I can satisfy
00:13:06.480 some of you people.
00:13:08.360 How much more can I agree with you?
00:13:11.120 All right?
00:13:11.460 Here's the but.
00:13:13.520 Do you think there could ever be an exception?
00:13:17.580 Do you think there should ever be an exception?
00:13:20.560 And I would say there should be one exception.
00:13:22.300 It should be if you can't win with your argument
00:13:27.920 in the realm of politics,
00:13:29.820 if your argument isn't strong enough
00:13:32.280 and so you resort to something
00:13:35.380 that's literally called retaliation by your own side
00:13:38.240 for something that's a separate topic,
00:13:41.140 everybody would agree it's a separate topic.
00:13:42.920 So retaliating against Disney
00:13:45.440 right in front of us,
00:13:47.140 right in front of the public.
00:13:48.740 You know, there's nothing being hidden here.
00:13:51.180 A separate topic
00:13:52.420 just for the power balance to push back,
00:13:56.900 I feel is impeachable.
00:13:59.460 Hold on.
00:14:00.560 Let me make my argument.
00:14:02.080 You haven't heard my argument yet.
00:14:04.320 Okay?
00:14:06.000 How many of you liked Ronald Reagan?
00:14:10.500 Pretty good, right?
00:14:11.480 If you're a Republican or you lean right,
00:14:14.160 probably you liked him a lot.
00:14:16.340 Now, what was he really good at?
00:14:20.400 Well, one of the things he was really good at
00:14:22.000 is making his case.
00:14:24.660 So what is a better strategy?
00:14:27.920 Making the better argument
00:14:29.300 or retaliation?
00:14:33.320 Now, if I put Reagan into the example,
00:14:35.760 and I'm not even talking about a specific policy,
00:14:39.100 suppose you had Ronald Reagan
00:14:40.420 and he could just make the better argument
00:14:42.940 or he could get some retaliation
00:14:45.720 in an unrelated area.
00:14:47.920 Which would be the better strategy?
00:14:51.280 Well, I would say the strategy is to win.
00:14:54.700 The strategy is not to retaliate.
00:14:57.660 Do you know what retaliation is in this model?
00:15:00.560 Because all of us are spectators
00:15:02.720 to a spectator sport
00:15:03.980 that we kind of like, don't we?
00:15:05.340 Admit it.
00:15:07.240 If you're watching this live stream,
00:15:08.900 it's probably, for most of you,
00:15:11.340 it's because you sort of like
00:15:12.520 the entertainment element of politics
00:15:14.580 as much as knowing what's going on.
00:15:17.160 And if you like the entertainment element,
00:15:19.820 what is that little reward you get
00:15:22.880 when you watch entertainment?
00:15:24.700 What's the reward
00:15:25.760 for any kind of entertainment?
00:15:28.040 It's dopamine, right?
00:15:29.660 I mean, I might be wrong
00:15:30.880 about the chemical signature,
00:15:32.640 but you get a little chemical hit, right?
00:15:35.260 It's like a reward.
00:15:36.660 If your team wins,
00:15:38.660 you get a little chemical boost.
00:15:40.820 It might be testosterone,
00:15:42.360 but it's like a little high, right?
00:15:44.560 A little testosterone
00:15:45.700 when your team wins, especially.
00:15:48.020 So when you see your team retaliate,
00:15:52.240 how does that feel?
00:15:54.180 How does it feel?
00:15:55.700 Just forget about the strategy.
00:15:57.160 We're not talking whether it's a good idea.
00:15:59.380 Forget about the policy.
00:16:00.340 Forget about the specific topic.
00:16:01.840 But how does it feel?
00:16:04.440 It feels pretty good, doesn't it?
00:16:06.580 It feels pretty good.
00:16:09.100 So, if you like to feel good,
00:16:13.940 then DeSantis' retaliation
00:16:16.820 is exactly what you wanted.
00:16:20.120 And if that's what you want,
00:16:22.480 I guess I would support you with that.
00:16:26.160 If you like it because it's delicious,
00:16:28.540 and you know what you like,
00:16:29.720 and it's an entertainment sport,
00:16:31.000 and you just say, you know,
00:16:32.700 it would just really feel good
00:16:34.120 to see DeSantis kick some ass,
00:16:36.640 wouldn't it?
00:16:37.800 It would feel kind of good.
00:16:40.320 All right?
00:16:40.920 So you can get what you want
00:16:42.500 with the retaliation.
00:16:45.340 Now, personally,
00:16:46.220 I just have a different preference
00:16:47.680 because I didn't get the dopamine hit.
00:16:52.580 I don't know why.
00:16:54.600 Don't know why.
00:16:55.820 But I'm watching the same story you are,
00:16:57.980 but I didn't get a dopamine hit.
00:17:00.300 Like, when I heard that he was using it,
00:17:02.700 retaliation,
00:17:04.120 that word just triggered the fuck out of me.
00:17:07.100 Like, I don't know,
00:17:07.900 just something in my brain just went,
00:17:09.280 what?
00:17:10.240 What?
00:17:11.580 I'm paying somebody?
00:17:12.800 Meaning, not me,
00:17:13.820 I'm not paying DeSantis,
00:17:14.920 but taxpayers.
00:17:17.800 Taxpayers hired a guy,
00:17:20.140 a person,
00:17:21.680 and that person is telling us
00:17:24.100 right in front of us
00:17:25.020 that on our dime,
00:17:29.420 he's getting retaliation.
00:17:33.360 Fired.
00:17:34.600 You're fucking fired.
00:17:37.300 You know,
00:17:37.860 I'm sorry.
00:17:39.060 I didn't hire you
00:17:40.340 to give me a dopamine hit.
00:17:41.860 You're not my fucking drug dealer.
00:17:45.040 I want you to win.
00:17:47.120 How about winning?
00:17:48.360 I hired you to fucking win.
00:17:50.700 All right?
00:17:50.980 If I care about this issue,
00:17:52.520 the law and the school,
00:17:54.060 let's win the fucking thing.
00:17:55.660 Let's do it right.
00:17:56.540 Let's do it like Reagan would do it.
00:17:58.080 Let's do it like Clinton would do it.
00:17:59.900 Let's do it like fucking Obama would do it.
00:18:02.400 Do you know how Obama would do it?
00:18:04.280 He'd argue it better.
00:18:06.080 He'd do a better job.
00:18:07.420 Do you know how Reagan would do it?
00:18:09.500 He'd argue better.
00:18:11.100 He'd do a better job.
00:18:13.020 Do you know how Trump would do it?
00:18:14.800 He'd argue better.
00:18:16.120 He'd do a better fucking job.
00:18:18.200 DeSantis just apparently whiffed on this
00:18:21.480 or something
00:18:22.080 because he didn't feel like he was winning,
00:18:24.420 and so he's going to retaliation.
00:18:26.400 That's weak.
00:18:27.940 That's weak.
00:18:29.860 He can't win his own argument.
00:18:31.780 That's weak.
00:18:33.920 So to me, it looks weak,
00:18:35.040 and I wouldn't hire a guy to retaliate.
00:18:38.780 If he were your employee,
00:18:40.860 let's say he was your,
00:18:42.400 let's say you were an owner
00:18:44.000 of a plumbing contract company,
00:18:46.840 and one of your employees
00:18:48.600 told you straight out,
00:18:52.340 I decided to retaliate
00:18:53.860 against one of my customers
00:18:55.140 because then word will get around
00:18:57.800 and maybe the next customer
00:18:59.240 won't treat me the same way.
00:19:00.940 Would you say,
00:19:03.580 well, good job.
00:19:04.780 You really have to retaliate
00:19:06.060 against customers
00:19:06.920 because if you don't retaliate
00:19:09.720 against a customer,
00:19:10.940 the next one's not going to respect you.
00:19:13.180 No.
00:19:13.920 You would fucking fire him
00:19:15.740 on the spot
00:19:17.020 because you don't hire people
00:19:18.880 to retaliate.
00:19:20.240 It's not a good strategy.
00:19:21.760 It's not a winning strategy.
00:19:23.380 It's a dopamine drug strategy.
00:19:26.500 You don't hire him
00:19:27.660 to be your drug dealer.
00:19:28.920 DeSantis is your governor.
00:19:31.680 He's not your drug dealer.
00:19:33.880 He's not there
00:19:34.700 to make you feel good.
00:19:36.340 He's there to win.
00:19:38.460 Now, winning should feel good.
00:19:40.160 But win the right battle.
00:19:41.860 Like, don't win the bullshit.
00:19:44.760 All right.
00:19:45.160 So, let me say again.
00:19:48.540 If you like it
00:19:49.520 because it feels good,
00:19:51.080 but you're also aware
00:19:52.300 that that's what you're on about,
00:19:55.220 that's okay.
00:19:57.500 I mean, that's okay.
00:19:58.480 If you know exactly
00:19:59.560 what you're in it for,
00:20:02.280 then that's cool.
00:20:04.360 And let me say again
00:20:05.360 that I think that
00:20:06.240 DeSantis is a superstar.
00:20:08.760 I could easily support him
00:20:10.460 for president.
00:20:12.200 Because I think he's just,
00:20:13.740 he's more commonsensical
00:20:15.020 than anybody else.
00:20:15.960 I feel like he got bad advice
00:20:17.640 on this one thing.
00:20:19.680 unless it's purely political.
00:20:23.600 And I'd hate to see him,
00:20:28.560 you know,
00:20:28.860 of course he's a political animal
00:20:30.200 and, you know,
00:20:30.980 there's no denying that.
00:20:33.280 But I feel like this is just
00:20:34.760 putting dopamine over winning.
00:20:39.120 And I just never want to do that.
00:20:41.500 So, let me ask you this.
00:20:46.780 If we all accept the idea
00:20:48.920 that you should push back
00:20:50.060 on people who are pushing you,
00:20:52.340 would you accept
00:20:53.140 that there could ever be
00:20:54.640 an exception
00:20:56.160 where the strategy
00:20:57.560 is more important
00:20:58.480 than the dopamine hit?
00:21:01.620 Do you buy that frame?
00:21:03.060 And if not,
00:21:07.080 what would be a...
00:21:11.060 No, don't just say
00:21:13.900 something bad about me
00:21:15.360 or that DeSantis is good.
00:21:18.180 These are just generic things.
00:21:19.740 Give me...
00:21:21.240 No, stop saying generic things.
00:21:23.780 Be specific.
00:21:25.500 What would be wrong
00:21:26.400 with that frame?
00:21:26.940 I get way too many comments to...
00:21:35.940 Scott is triggered
00:21:38.460 by a word meant to trigger.
00:21:40.460 Well, remember,
00:21:42.600 the word came from
00:21:44.080 the entity that likes
00:21:46.400 DeSantis the most.
00:21:47.880 It was a Fox News word.
00:21:49.680 If CNN had said
00:21:50.760 that DeSantis
00:21:51.820 had been retaliating,
00:21:55.420 I'm not sure
00:21:55.900 I would have taken it
00:21:56.540 seriously
00:21:56.980 because I would just say,
00:21:58.700 oh, that's just how
00:21:59.180 they're framing it.
00:22:00.600 But if his own side
00:22:02.040 is framing it that way,
00:22:03.020 it's probably
00:22:03.820 a little closer
00:22:04.520 to the truth.
00:22:08.640 I can laugh
00:22:09.500 at your opinion
00:22:09.980 all I want.
00:22:10.800 Actually, you can.
00:22:12.160 So if you get
00:22:13.200 a dopamine hit
00:22:14.000 by feeling that
00:22:14.800 you're smarter than me
00:22:15.840 on this topic
00:22:16.500 or that your strategy
00:22:18.900 would be more effective,
00:22:21.640 then I'm in favor of that.
00:22:23.940 If you can get
00:22:26.400 a dopamine hit
00:22:27.180 anyway at all,
00:22:29.300 just go ahead
00:22:30.820 and do it.
00:22:31.980 Anyway,
00:22:32.660 I'd rather win
00:22:33.660 than get a dopamine hit,
00:22:34.960 but that's just me.
00:22:36.160 Elon Musk
00:22:36.900 wants to start a city
00:22:38.200 that I think
00:22:39.480 would be called
00:22:40.060 Starbase.
00:22:41.440 And of course,
00:22:42.340 it would have to get
00:22:42.880 the approval
00:22:43.340 of the people
00:22:44.240 who already live there.
00:22:45.920 But the idea
00:22:47.060 would be to
00:22:47.960 have some kind of,
00:22:49.980 I don't know,
00:22:50.420 local control
00:22:51.520 and design
00:22:52.760 and engineer
00:22:54.220 an awesome place
00:22:56.240 to live
00:22:56.740 so that he can attract,
00:22:58.740 I guess,
00:22:59.720 high-quality workers
00:23:00.780 for his own companies.
00:23:03.080 And have I ever told you
00:23:05.480 that that had always
00:23:06.480 been my dream
00:23:07.200 to design a city?
00:23:10.500 Because our cities
00:23:11.460 are all wrong.
00:23:12.340 You know,
00:23:12.880 I keep hearing
00:23:13.480 who's got a good idea
00:23:15.160 for fixing crime
00:23:17.980 in our cities
00:23:18.640 and everything.
00:23:19.280 And I keep saying,
00:23:20.220 why would you fix cities?
00:23:22.520 You can't really
00:23:23.360 fix the cities.
00:23:24.900 You know,
00:23:25.540 you can barely
00:23:26.280 put a tourniquet on them.
00:23:27.500 I think cities
00:23:28.120 are just going to die.
00:23:29.900 Because unless you,
00:23:31.760 you know,
00:23:32.480 start over,
00:23:34.340 there's nothing
00:23:35.020 about a city
00:23:35.640 that works.
00:23:36.140 There's just too much
00:23:36.880 population
00:23:37.640 to transportation
00:23:40.460 to everything's
00:23:41.720 in the wrong place.
00:23:43.440 I don't think
00:23:44.260 you could fix a city.
00:23:45.160 But I've long said
00:23:47.220 that the next phase
00:23:48.520 of, you know,
00:23:49.260 human, let's say,
00:23:50.320 civilization
00:23:50.940 will be to start
00:23:52.400 from scratch
00:23:53.060 and design
00:23:53.920 towns and cities
00:23:55.760 and even blocks
00:23:57.380 and even the house
00:23:58.500 itself
00:23:59.000 in a very
00:24:00.520 A-B tested,
00:24:02.300 human-centric way
00:24:03.660 until you can build
00:24:04.680 an insanely good
00:24:06.320 place to live
00:24:07.100 that
00:24:07.520 doesn't cost much.
00:24:10.280 Now,
00:24:10.820 that might be
00:24:11.340 the thing that
00:24:11.820 Elon Musk
00:24:12.400 could bring
00:24:13.020 into a city
00:24:13.580 design.
00:24:15.240 Imagine any other
00:24:16.340 way to build
00:24:16.880 a city.
00:24:17.640 What happens?
00:24:18.900 You bring in
00:24:19.640 private companies
00:24:20.560 whose job it is
00:24:22.160 to build,
00:24:23.000 let's say,
00:24:23.300 homes.
00:24:24.460 You say,
00:24:24.980 give us the best bid
00:24:26.620 to build the cheapest
00:24:29.060 home.
00:24:29.460 Well,
00:24:29.580 even the best bid
00:24:30.600 is going to try
00:24:31.280 to make the most profit
00:24:32.320 they possibly can.
00:24:33.280 So they're going
00:24:34.300 to build the house
00:24:35.160 that specifically
00:24:37.040 they know how to
00:24:37.920 build and they can
00:24:38.720 already do it
00:24:39.500 and they can just
00:24:40.880 outbid the other
00:24:42.400 people.
00:24:42.920 They're not going
00:24:43.420 to build you
00:24:44.880 the city of tomorrow.
00:24:47.020 You're basically
00:24:47.840 going to get
00:24:48.380 the same houses
00:24:49.320 but somebody's
00:24:50.620 going to give you
00:24:51.080 the cheap one
00:24:51.660 if money is what
00:24:53.020 matters.
00:24:54.640 But Elon Musk
00:24:55.920 and maybe he alone,
00:24:58.460 you know,
00:24:58.720 again,
00:24:59.020 we keep running
00:24:59.560 into situations
00:25:00.320 that only a few
00:25:02.280 people could handle.
00:25:03.960 You know,
00:25:04.180 maybe Jeff Bezos
00:25:07.000 could do it
00:25:07.540 or something
00:25:07.960 but Musk could do it.
00:25:11.480 And imagine
00:25:12.500 starting from scratch
00:25:13.580 and saying,
00:25:14.080 okay,
00:25:14.420 what must a city have?
00:25:17.840 Like,
00:25:18.160 what are the specifications
00:25:19.300 starting with a human being
00:25:21.440 and even starting
00:25:23.320 with, you know,
00:25:24.020 which human beings?
00:25:25.400 Are you going
00:25:25.780 to favor,
00:25:26.460 you know,
00:25:27.160 children or single people
00:25:29.580 or all equal?
00:25:31.320 Do you make
00:25:31.620 different models
00:25:32.260 for each one?
00:25:33.160 So you start
00:25:33.780 with the very specifics
00:25:35.020 of what a person needs
00:25:36.120 and then you design
00:25:37.240 their house
00:25:38.020 or at least
00:25:38.880 their living structure
00:25:39.880 or whatever it looks like.
00:25:41.360 And then from the house,
00:25:43.040 you figure out
00:25:43.780 what type
00:25:44.580 and kinds of houses
00:25:45.740 should be,
00:25:46.280 like,
00:25:46.560 right next to it.
00:25:48.040 And should they be
00:25:48.940 up in a building
00:25:50.280 where you never see
00:25:51.060 anybody except
00:25:51.640 in an elevator?
00:25:53.160 Or should it be
00:25:53.720 arranged in a way
00:25:54.480 that you have
00:25:54.980 some forced
00:25:56.680 but optional,
00:25:58.400 I guess that's,
00:25:59.260 you know,
00:25:59.440 let's say,
00:26:00.500 frequent but optional
00:26:01.880 interaction with
00:26:03.980 your neighbors
00:26:04.500 in some way
00:26:06.080 that is good.
00:26:07.700 And maybe you design
00:26:09.180 types of houses
00:26:10.600 for types of families.
00:26:12.240 So let's say
00:26:12.820 a blue house
00:26:13.700 is only for someone
00:26:15.140 who has kids
00:26:15.800 because then you want
00:26:17.580 to put the blue houses
00:26:18.440 together
00:26:18.960 because then the kids
00:26:20.140 could meet each other
00:26:20.880 and everybody's happy.
00:26:21.640 And there's always
00:26:26.060 somebody who says,
00:26:26.740 I hate this.
00:26:27.620 You don't have
00:26:28.460 to live there.
00:26:30.340 I didn't say
00:26:31.320 it's the one place
00:26:32.080 to live.
00:26:34.680 You know,
00:26:35.280 everybody thinks,
00:26:36.100 if you describe
00:26:36.700 a product,
00:26:37.340 they just say,
00:26:38.120 well,
00:26:38.600 I'm not going
00:26:39.460 to use it,
00:26:39.880 so screw that product.
00:26:41.980 It might be good
00:26:42.800 for other people.
00:26:44.160 Anyway,
00:26:44.460 I think you could
00:26:45.060 take the price
00:26:46.460 of living down
00:26:47.300 by 90%,
00:26:48.320 and I think
00:26:49.380 you could take
00:26:49.880 the quality of life
00:26:51.100 up to the point
00:26:52.640 where both
00:26:53.200 drug addiction
00:26:54.060 and loneliness
00:26:56.100 and mental health
00:26:57.060 would be cut in half.
00:26:59.680 I think you could
00:27:00.340 do that
00:27:00.780 with a physical design.
00:27:03.700 I'll say it again.
00:27:04.920 I think
00:27:05.240 a physically
00:27:06.640 engineered city,
00:27:09.440 engineered
00:27:10.060 in a way
00:27:11.440 that Elon Musk
00:27:12.600 would do it,
00:27:13.200 I would imagine.
00:27:14.260 You start
00:27:14.760 with the specifications
00:27:15.640 of the human
00:27:16.280 and then work out
00:27:17.120 what the city
00:27:17.920 looks like
00:27:18.360 to support it.
00:27:19.020 Nobody's ever
00:27:19.960 done that.
00:27:21.020 Nobody's ever
00:27:21.580 even come close
00:27:22.400 to doing that.
00:27:23.840 And I can't even
00:27:24.960 imagine anybody
00:27:25.620 else who could do it.
00:27:27.320 But he could
00:27:27.820 sort of do it
00:27:28.520 easily.
00:27:31.740 I don't even think
00:27:32.620 it would be hard.
00:27:33.580 He'd just
00:27:33.960 pull together
00:27:35.400 the people
00:27:35.840 who know
00:27:36.140 how to do
00:27:36.540 that stuff,
00:27:37.720 throw a few
00:27:38.260 billion at them
00:27:39.000 that he has
00:27:39.480 laying around,
00:27:42.200 do a little,
00:27:43.320 no,
00:27:43.800 nothing like
00:27:44.280 Levittown.
00:27:45.500 Okay.
00:27:47.120 Let me say,
00:27:48.240 if what you
00:27:49.100 thought of
00:27:49.480 was Levittown,
00:27:50.920 you're really,
00:27:52.660 really far
00:27:53.180 from what
00:27:53.800 I'm talking
00:27:54.200 about.
00:27:54.780 I mean,
00:27:55.020 that's like,
00:27:55.800 Levittown
00:27:56.200 was like a
00:27:56.680 two,
00:27:58.420 you know,
00:27:58.700 Elon Musk
00:27:59.280 could design
00:27:59.800 a nine
00:28:00.140 or a ten.
00:28:00.620 They wouldn't
00:28:01.580 be comparable
00:28:02.140 in any way.
00:28:04.180 So,
00:28:05.060 that's coming.
00:28:08.000 Could be
00:28:08.240 interesting.
00:28:10.060 At the beginning
00:28:10.740 of the Ukraine
00:28:12.920 conflict,
00:28:13.620 I said
00:28:14.960 that Ukraine
00:28:15.840 might be
00:28:16.680 better off
00:28:18.460 than people
00:28:19.100 thought because
00:28:19.600 they would
00:28:19.900 have new
00:28:20.440 tech military
00:28:21.820 equipment that
00:28:22.760 NATO and
00:28:23.760 the United
00:28:24.060 States would
00:28:24.500 make available
00:28:25.100 to them.
00:28:25.600 I speculated
00:28:26.360 that it could
00:28:27.740 make a big
00:28:28.160 difference.
00:28:29.260 Now,
00:28:29.520 I'm not so
00:28:30.040 sure that the
00:28:30.820 new,
00:28:32.120 what would
00:28:34.240 you call
00:28:34.560 it,
00:28:35.940 sort of
00:28:38.400 secret stuff,
00:28:40.000 what's the
00:28:41.720 word for
00:28:42.060 secret
00:28:42.560 technology?
00:28:44.600 There's some
00:28:45.140 other word for
00:28:45.700 it that they
00:28:46.060 use.
00:28:46.820 Anyway,
00:28:47.820 but there are
00:28:49.080 two things that
00:28:49.980 we don't know
00:28:50.460 too much about
00:28:51.160 that are being
00:28:51.740 shipped to
00:28:52.160 Ukraine.
00:28:52.600 One is called
00:28:53.100 a ghost
00:28:53.740 drone or
00:28:55.620 Phoenix,
00:28:56.420 Phoenix ghost
00:28:57.460 drone.
00:28:59.300 Now,
00:29:00.140 classified,
00:29:00.840 right?
00:29:01.260 It's classified.
00:29:02.780 I think that's
00:29:03.320 the word.
00:29:03.960 So,
00:29:04.180 I think it's
00:29:04.460 classified,
00:29:05.220 meaning that
00:29:05.820 we don't know
00:29:06.980 what capabilities
00:29:07.840 it has.
00:29:09.020 Also,
00:29:09.360 there's an
00:29:10.240 unmanned
00:29:10.880 boat.
00:29:11.920 I guess you
00:29:12.440 would call
00:29:12.680 that a
00:29:13.020 drone boat,
00:29:13.920 wouldn't you?
00:29:14.780 An unmanned
00:29:15.480 boat would be
00:29:16.020 a drone boat,
00:29:16.800 wouldn't it?
00:29:17.860 So,
00:29:18.920 both of these
00:29:21.540 things are
00:29:21.940 apparently being
00:29:23.780 delivered,
00:29:25.640 and I think
00:29:26.220 the ghost
00:29:27.180 drones were
00:29:28.160 supposedly
00:29:29.220 designed
00:29:30.520 especially for
00:29:31.340 Ukraine,
00:29:32.940 and maybe
00:29:33.540 they're anti-tank
00:29:34.540 and anti-personnel,
00:29:35.800 but I think
00:29:36.100 people are
00:29:36.500 guessing.
00:29:36.780 Yeah,
00:29:39.400 are the
00:29:39.700 drones
00:29:40.060 submersibles?
00:29:41.180 That's a
00:29:41.540 really good
00:29:41.960 question.
00:29:43.260 Really good
00:29:43.880 question.
00:29:45.160 I don't
00:29:45.560 know.
00:29:46.400 So,
00:29:47.080 here's what I
00:29:48.360 had speculated
00:29:49.140 Ukraine would
00:29:50.180 have access to,
00:29:50.980 although maybe
00:29:51.420 it's taken
00:29:52.040 longer than I
00:29:52.960 would have
00:29:53.200 imagined.
00:29:54.120 But they
00:29:54.720 may have
00:29:55.180 now the
00:29:55.720 good stuff,
00:29:57.320 the phrase I
00:29:58.160 used at the
00:29:58.980 beginning,
00:30:00.180 that tech-wise
00:30:01.200 they might have
00:30:01.760 access to the
00:30:02.460 good stuff,
00:30:03.060 in a way that
00:30:03.900 no other
00:30:04.480 military has
00:30:06.580 ever had,
00:30:07.680 like actually
00:30:08.420 weapons that
00:30:09.160 no one's
00:30:09.780 ever used.
00:30:11.260 And Ukraine
00:30:11.720 is going to
00:30:12.040 have access
00:30:12.460 to them,
00:30:13.120 because part
00:30:14.080 of my
00:30:14.380 speculation was
00:30:15.200 that the
00:30:15.620 weapons
00:30:16.140 manufacturers
00:30:16.980 would rush
00:30:18.540 the good
00:30:19.060 stuff into
00:30:19.800 the fight
00:30:20.260 to see how
00:30:20.780 it works,
00:30:22.020 because that
00:30:22.880 would just be
00:30:23.300 great for
00:30:23.700 them if it
00:30:24.140 did work.
00:30:24.820 And if it
00:30:25.120 didn't work,
00:30:25.640 maybe nobody
00:30:26.120 would notice,
00:30:27.180 better than
00:30:27.620 nothing,
00:30:28.180 right?
00:30:28.400 They'd be
00:30:28.680 happier that
00:30:29.120 you tried
00:30:29.500 than if you
00:30:29.900 didn't.
00:30:30.160 So yeah,
00:30:32.260 it could be
00:30:32.540 just a whole
00:30:33.140 gigantic weapons
00:30:34.700 testing ground,
00:30:35.920 and that's the
00:30:37.160 real reason for
00:30:37.860 the war.
00:30:38.740 I wouldn't rule
00:30:40.700 it out that
00:30:42.100 the defense
00:30:43.060 contractors have
00:30:44.100 created a war
00:30:44.820 just to test
00:30:45.420 stuff.
00:30:46.820 Like, as
00:30:47.400 crazy as that
00:30:48.100 sounds,
00:30:49.320 like you would
00:30:50.320 love to say,
00:30:51.100 well, that's
00:30:52.020 not going to
00:30:52.420 happen.
00:30:53.440 Like, that's
00:30:54.040 way over the
00:30:54.660 line.
00:30:55.560 That could
00:30:55.940 never happen.
00:30:57.520 But I think
00:30:58.340 it could.
00:30:59.060 I'm not
00:31:00.380 saying it
00:31:00.760 did, but I
00:31:02.620 think it
00:31:02.980 could.
00:31:06.460 So here's
00:31:07.260 my question
00:31:07.800 about these
00:31:08.540 classified drones.
00:31:10.100 Let's take
00:31:10.440 the one that's
00:31:10.900 in the air.
00:31:12.340 Seems the
00:31:12.820 more important
00:31:13.320 one.
00:31:14.480 Is the one
00:31:14.980 that's in the
00:31:15.400 air, let's
00:31:17.120 say you had
00:31:17.480 a drone that
00:31:18.260 could just
00:31:18.720 fly longer
00:31:20.280 and was
00:31:20.840 stealthier and
00:31:22.180 could hit
00:31:22.560 whatever it
00:31:23.060 wanted, would
00:31:23.720 return to
00:31:24.440 base and
00:31:24.980 just turn
00:31:25.580 around and
00:31:26.220 do it
00:31:26.720 again.
00:31:27.780 Something that
00:31:28.420 could just
00:31:28.760 like do
00:31:29.040 mission after
00:31:29.660 mission and
00:31:30.300 every time it
00:31:31.200 would get
00:31:31.480 away with it
00:31:31.940 and every
00:31:32.200 time it
00:31:32.680 would hit
00:31:33.140 something.
00:31:34.100 What if they
00:31:34.560 have something
00:31:35.000 like that?
00:31:36.680 And how many
00:31:38.000 of those would
00:31:38.480 you need?
00:31:39.960 Because if you've
00:31:40.680 got little
00:31:41.000 switchblades,
00:31:42.000 like they're all
00:31:42.540 suicide things,
00:31:43.960 but what if
00:31:44.420 these are not
00:31:45.000 suicide things
00:31:46.860 and they have
00:31:47.800 enough munitions
00:31:48.660 and it just
00:31:51.240 never gets
00:31:51.740 hit and it
00:31:52.940 can just go
00:31:53.460 out and hit
00:31:53.920 anything it
00:31:54.400 wants?
00:31:55.040 Well, wouldn't
00:31:55.420 it start with
00:31:56.160 whatever is the
00:31:56.900 most important
00:31:58.460 assets that
00:31:59.160 the Russian
00:31:59.500 army has
00:32:00.160 and just
00:32:01.160 take them
00:32:01.580 out?
00:32:03.840 Seems like
00:32:04.520 it would just
00:32:05.660 take out the
00:32:06.340 most important
00:32:06.940 stuff.
00:32:07.740 So it would
00:32:08.120 take out then
00:32:08.780 the anti-drone
00:32:10.120 stuff and then
00:32:11.720 the regular
00:32:12.200 drones could
00:32:13.600 get in there.
00:32:17.260 Sucking more
00:32:18.100 dopamine,
00:32:18.700 fantasizing about
00:32:19.500 a longer war.
00:32:20.940 You know,
00:32:22.340 there's no doubt
00:32:23.440 about the fact
00:32:24.040 that we are
00:32:25.460 sick people
00:32:26.740 who are looking
00:32:27.300 at the war
00:32:27.760 as an
00:32:28.080 entertainment
00:32:28.500 property.
00:32:29.920 If you're
00:32:30.360 far enough
00:32:30.760 away, it's
00:32:32.780 actually
00:32:33.280 interesting in
00:32:34.800 a way that
00:32:35.300 makes you feel
00:32:36.200 icky, but
00:32:37.840 it's interesting.
00:32:39.920 And I don't
00:32:41.820 know how to
00:32:42.120 change that.
00:32:43.720 So there
00:32:44.460 probably is a
00:32:44.980 dopamine hit
00:32:45.600 talking about a
00:32:47.020 war.
00:32:47.340 I wouldn't
00:32:47.640 doubt that at
00:32:48.100 all.
00:32:48.300 But that
00:32:52.520 doesn't mean
00:32:53.080 I should
00:32:53.680 enlist, just
00:32:54.680 to address
00:32:56.660 your comment
00:32:58.660 there.
00:33:01.260 All right.
00:33:04.200 So that's
00:33:05.080 happening.
00:33:08.400 So Jonathan
00:33:09.520 Turley had an
00:33:10.340 interesting
00:33:11.040 article in
00:33:13.140 which he
00:33:13.580 thinks that
00:33:14.240 Elon Musk's
00:33:15.180 bid for
00:33:15.640 Twitter is
00:33:16.780 going to put
00:33:17.160 the board
00:33:17.700 in a tough
00:33:18.960 place because
00:33:19.660 his offer
00:33:20.480 is so good,
00:33:21.640 especially if
00:33:22.280 he were to
00:33:23.780 increase it,
00:33:24.440 which is the
00:33:24.900 rumor.
00:33:26.960 It's going to
00:33:27.660 be hard for
00:33:28.380 the board
00:33:28.920 to justify
00:33:30.440 that they're
00:33:30.940 actually working
00:33:31.680 on behalf of
00:33:32.440 the stockholders.
00:33:34.360 So this is
00:33:35.440 going to get
00:33:35.740 really interesting.
00:33:39.580 Rasmussen had
00:33:40.300 a poll about
00:33:42.120 masks and
00:33:44.780 the airline
00:33:46.480 decisions to
00:33:47.400 drop mask
00:33:48.100 requirements.
00:33:50.660 And 51%
00:33:51.700 said it was a
00:33:52.340 good idea to
00:33:52.980 drop the
00:33:53.460 masks on
00:33:54.200 planes, to
00:33:55.480 which I
00:33:55.820 said, what?
00:33:58.360 What kind of
00:33:59.600 bubble have I
00:34:00.160 been in that
00:34:00.660 only 51% were
00:34:01.980 happy that masks
00:34:02.860 are dropped on
00:34:03.520 flights?
00:34:06.680 Are you
00:34:07.360 surprised?
00:34:09.260 34% said it's
00:34:10.780 a bad decision
00:34:11.480 and they would
00:34:12.300 prefer that masks
00:34:13.300 were required on
00:34:14.340 flights?
00:34:15.960 34%?
00:34:18.100 34% is exactly
00:34:19.720 the amount of
00:34:20.920 Americans who
00:34:21.700 don't fly.
00:34:23.920 I don't know if
00:34:24.760 that's true, but
00:34:25.380 I'll bet it's
00:34:25.820 close.
00:34:26.600 All right.
00:34:27.760 Somebody who can
00:34:28.900 Google really
00:34:29.640 fast, find out
00:34:31.580 what percentage of
00:34:32.700 the population
00:34:33.620 actually flies, who
00:34:34.940 would be adults,
00:34:35.940 who would answer a
00:34:36.720 poll.
00:34:37.600 So percentage of
00:34:38.380 adults who fly, I
00:34:40.060 have to think that
00:34:41.960 at least 34% don't
00:34:43.760 ever fly, right?
00:34:47.380 So isn't it the
00:34:48.500 people who don't
00:34:49.160 ever fly who just
00:34:50.480 say, ah, screw
00:34:51.160 them, make them
00:34:51.720 wear masks?
00:34:53.720 With these polls, I
00:34:54.800 never know exactly
00:34:55.620 what's being
00:34:56.160 measured.
00:34:57.120 It could be
00:34:57.540 jealousy.
00:34:59.200 We might be
00:35:00.220 seeing a bunch of
00:35:00.800 jealousy where the
00:35:01.520 people who never
00:35:02.420 are going to be on
00:35:03.140 a flight and they
00:35:04.300 know they're never
00:35:04.860 going to fly because
00:35:05.620 it's just too
00:35:06.080 expensive or for
00:35:07.000 whatever reason
00:35:07.520 they're never
00:35:07.880 going to fly.
00:35:09.000 They're just like,
00:35:09.640 yeah, yeah, they
00:35:10.240 should wear masks on
00:35:10.980 those flights.
00:35:12.120 Totally.
00:35:12.840 They should totally
00:35:13.400 wear masks on
00:35:14.020 those flights.
00:35:16.320 All right.
00:35:18.680 This Johnny Depp
00:35:19.880 story is just
00:35:23.520 so horrible.
00:35:25.120 I can't look
00:35:25.560 away.
00:35:26.100 So Johnny Depp
00:35:27.840 and this, I
00:35:29.180 guess he's suing
00:35:29.880 Amber Heard
00:35:30.540 because she wrote
00:35:31.340 a story that
00:35:33.380 seemed to suggest
00:35:34.220 that he was
00:35:34.860 physically abusive.
00:35:36.080 And so he's
00:35:37.500 suing her for
00:35:38.120 saying that.
00:35:39.340 And so in
00:35:40.080 order for her to
00:35:40.740 win, I guess she
00:35:41.400 would have to
00:35:41.800 show that he
00:35:42.260 was physically
00:35:43.940 abusive.
00:35:45.060 In order for him
00:35:46.000 to win, I guess he
00:35:46.800 has to show that he
00:35:47.500 wasn't and maybe
00:35:48.380 that she was.
00:35:49.500 So he has shown
00:35:50.780 that she was
00:35:52.000 physically abusive.
00:35:53.960 So apparently his
00:35:54.920 audios do make
00:35:56.620 that case.
00:35:57.860 But there's one
00:35:58.340 audio in which
00:35:59.140 he, or was it
00:36:00.520 no, I guess an
00:36:01.560 email message or
00:36:03.460 something, in which
00:36:04.560 he did say
00:36:05.360 something about
00:36:06.300 fantasizing about
00:36:08.520 her burnt body
00:36:10.380 and being dead.
00:36:12.700 And so his
00:36:13.320 fantasizing about
00:36:14.380 her being dead
00:36:15.280 is being used as
00:36:17.760 an indication that
00:36:19.600 maybe he's an
00:36:20.940 abuser too.
00:36:22.940 But having heard
00:36:24.220 what Amber Heard
00:36:25.880 did, this seems
00:36:27.100 well confirmed
00:36:27.940 because she's
00:36:28.980 admitting it on
00:36:29.940 audio, don't
00:36:32.840 you think it
00:36:33.780 would be not
00:36:34.600 entirely out of
00:36:35.580 reason to at
00:36:37.040 least have the
00:36:37.720 fantasy of some
00:36:40.780 bad thing
00:36:41.340 happening to her
00:36:42.080 in return?
00:36:43.200 But there's no
00:36:43.780 indication that he
00:36:44.560 acted on it or
00:36:45.460 planned to act on
00:36:46.260 it.
00:36:47.300 So the best
00:36:48.180 defense, the best
00:36:49.740 defense that Amber
00:36:50.960 Heard could come
00:36:51.900 up with is that
00:36:53.280 Amber Heard was
00:36:54.080 such a monster that
00:36:55.960 in his private
00:36:57.000 thoughts he wished
00:36:57.900 that she would just
00:36:58.640 burned to death.
00:36:59.840 And I'm thinking,
00:37:01.000 I don't know that
00:37:02.340 that's an indictment
00:37:03.220 of Johnny Depp.
00:37:04.940 That sounds like
00:37:05.780 even though Johnny
00:37:07.100 Depp had imbibed a
00:37:08.800 lot of alcohol, he
00:37:10.020 still knew what he
00:37:11.580 was dealing with.
00:37:13.240 And maybe his
00:37:14.260 private thoughts as
00:37:15.840 opposed to his
00:37:16.460 actions, which
00:37:17.860 apparently there's
00:37:18.720 no indication that
00:37:19.580 he did anything
00:37:20.340 abusive that I've
00:37:21.340 seen.
00:37:23.180 I feel as if that
00:37:24.540 wasn't an entirely
00:37:25.620 uncalled for opinion
00:37:27.300 of his.
00:37:28.640 So I'm not sure it
00:37:30.000 worked exactly the
00:37:31.120 way the Heard
00:37:32.400 defense hoped it
00:37:33.280 would.
00:37:34.900 Because I think a
00:37:35.600 lot of people heard
00:37:36.240 the things that she
00:37:37.940 did and said and
00:37:39.180 how she treated him.
00:37:40.780 And when he said
00:37:41.480 something like he
00:37:42.940 would F her burnt
00:37:43.940 corpse just to make
00:37:44.980 sure she was dead,
00:37:46.340 I think a lot of
00:37:47.360 people thought to
00:37:48.220 themselves, well,
00:37:49.500 you've got to do
00:37:50.440 that just to make
00:37:51.060 sure she's dead.
00:37:51.740 So, but, not in
00:37:57.500 real life.
00:37:58.200 We're not talking
00:37:58.840 about real actions.
00:38:00.120 We do not approve
00:38:01.180 of violence.
00:38:03.680 Ever.
00:38:05.220 All right.
00:38:09.500 She put down a
00:38:10.540 cigarette on his
00:38:11.240 face?
00:38:12.280 Has that been
00:38:13.140 proven?
00:38:15.520 Yowzer.
00:38:15.960 I don't know if
00:38:17.720 that's been proven.
00:38:22.320 All right.
00:38:26.960 So what else is
00:38:28.800 going on?
00:38:30.200 Have I completed my
00:38:32.740 mission of the most
00:38:34.600 important live stream
00:38:36.380 in the world?
00:38:36.920 It made some of you
00:38:37.580 mad, but that's why
00:38:39.580 you come back.
00:38:41.000 I had a philosophy
00:38:42.060 teacher who used
00:38:44.300 to talk about when
00:38:46.100 you have a loose
00:38:46.760 tooth.
00:38:48.480 Have you ever had
00:38:48.940 this thing back when
00:38:50.760 you were a kid, and
00:38:51.940 you would be losing
00:38:52.460 a tooth, and so you
00:38:53.740 start playing with it
00:38:54.500 with your tongue, and
00:38:55.880 it would hurt, like
00:38:57.280 you'd push it, and
00:38:58.040 it'd hurt, and you'd
00:38:59.560 just keep pushing it,
00:39:00.380 and it'd just keep
00:39:00.920 hurting, and you'd
00:39:02.120 just keep hurting
00:39:02.580 yourself until it
00:39:03.920 came out.
00:39:05.160 And he would talk
00:39:05.940 about that being,
00:39:06.720 you know, like an
00:39:07.820 analogy for life.
00:39:08.760 Yeah, we're always
00:39:11.280 hurting ourselves, but
00:39:12.120 we're pushing through.
00:39:14.480 Oh, the Mike Tyson.
00:39:15.900 How many of you saw
00:39:16.720 the video of the
00:39:18.340 drunk guy mocking
00:39:21.840 Mike Tyson just
00:39:23.260 mercilessly on a
00:39:24.380 flight until apparently
00:39:26.280 Mike Tyson turned
00:39:27.260 around and punched
00:39:28.740 him in the head
00:39:29.240 several times?
00:39:34.900 Now, unfortunately,
00:39:36.340 the video only shows
00:39:38.760 the mocking part, but
00:39:40.700 I only saw a still
00:39:41.580 picture of Mike
00:39:43.880 Tyson leaning over
00:39:45.200 the, it looks like
00:39:46.480 he's leaning over
00:39:47.200 his seat to punch
00:39:49.680 the other guy.
00:39:51.740 How much I wish I'd
00:39:53.080 seen the video of
00:39:53.920 that, not the still
00:39:54.780 picture, because, oh
00:39:57.200 my God, did that guy
00:39:59.340 have it coming?
00:39:59.960 There is video?
00:40:04.520 Oh, there is video.
00:40:05.580 Okay.
00:40:06.440 Well, I've only seen
00:40:07.520 the still picture.
00:40:08.480 Maybe they didn't want
00:40:09.600 to show the video,
00:40:10.400 because it was too.
00:40:11.900 So, which reminds me
00:40:13.020 of, I just watched a
00:40:15.120 clip of Joe Rogan, I
00:40:17.260 guess he was recently
00:40:18.100 interviewing MMA
00:40:20.120 fighter Jake Shields.
00:40:22.220 And Jake Shields was
00:40:23.300 at some event where
00:40:25.320 there was Antifa, and
00:40:27.240 apparently, as he
00:40:28.500 tells the story, he
00:40:29.840 was pulling some
00:40:30.960 people off, he was
00:40:32.140 pulling some Antifa
00:40:33.100 people off of
00:40:33.980 somebody.
00:40:34.840 So, Antifa was
00:40:35.720 attacking somebody, he
00:40:36.800 was pulling them off,
00:40:38.180 which caused Antifa to
00:40:39.720 turn on him and call
00:40:41.680 him a Nazi.
00:40:43.220 So, they're like, you
00:40:44.100 know, get the Nazis.
00:40:45.120 So, they attacked, they
00:40:46.000 attacked him, but
00:40:46.940 unfortunately, he's a
00:40:49.240 professional MMA
00:40:51.520 fighter.
00:40:52.020 So, as he subtly put
00:40:55.620 it, he dropped two of
00:40:57.040 them.
00:40:57.860 I would love to know
00:40:58.800 what that meant.
00:40:59.880 I think that was the
00:41:00.760 word he used.
00:41:01.320 I think he said he
00:41:02.180 dropped two of them or
00:41:03.220 something like that.
00:41:04.120 Well, whatever the exact
00:41:05.020 word was, he was very
00:41:05.900 unspecific.
00:41:07.080 But I always thought to
00:41:08.100 myself, how much fun
00:41:10.000 would it be to be a
00:41:11.340 professional fighter and
00:41:13.680 to find yourself in a
00:41:14.760 fight that's like a
00:41:16.120 legitimate fight?
00:41:18.040 Just an actual, okay,
00:41:19.520 this is actually a
00:41:20.360 street fight, and I
00:41:21.300 have a complete right
00:41:22.740 to fight back.
00:41:24.840 You know, and I
00:41:25.780 suppose you've got the
00:41:26.620 legal problem that if
00:41:27.800 you hurt somebody,
00:41:28.880 you're a lethal weapon
00:41:31.240 and they're not or
00:41:31.980 something.
00:41:32.720 So, you know, there
00:41:33.380 has to be some limits
00:41:34.260 there.
00:41:35.000 But it had to be fun.
00:41:37.900 Well, it had to be like
00:41:38.580 a good day for him.
00:41:39.900 It's like, oh, my God,
00:41:41.000 I got to knock out two
00:41:43.040 Antifa guys.
00:41:44.240 And I'm thinking, if you
00:41:45.540 knock down people, like,
00:41:47.020 for a living, like, that's
00:41:48.680 your sport, that's
00:41:50.360 that must have been
00:41:50.840 just such a fun day.
00:41:52.460 Talk about dopamine.
00:41:55.340 Yeah, just don't kill
00:41:56.220 him.
00:41:56.620 You don't want to hurt
00:41:57.440 him too badly.
00:41:58.420 And I feel like Mike
00:41:59.380 Tyson knew just how hard
00:42:01.540 enough to punch.
00:42:02.840 Like he's an expert
00:42:03.780 puncher?
00:42:05.260 Maybe not.
00:42:06.580 Maybe he just punched
00:42:07.460 him because he was mad.
00:42:09.720 Who knows?
00:42:13.500 Tyson retaliated.
00:42:14.620 Yeah, now, just to be
00:42:16.460 clear, I'm not opposed
00:42:19.980 to retaliation.
00:42:21.480 You just have to do it
00:42:22.760 when it's your best
00:42:23.760 strategy.
00:42:24.720 If it's not your best
00:42:25.760 strategy, well, then I'm
00:42:27.720 not going to pay somebody
00:42:28.580 to do it.
00:42:29.880 Why would I pay somebody
00:42:30.780 to do a suboptimal
00:42:32.080 strategy?
00:42:33.080 But no, retaliation has
00:42:34.340 its places in the right
00:42:37.200 place.
00:42:37.540 Yeah, he's been in
00:42:41.900 trouble for assault
00:42:44.120 before, so.
00:42:45.880 But I don't think any...
00:42:47.540 Can you imagine a jury
00:42:49.280 seeing that video?
00:42:52.580 If you were on the jury,
00:42:54.040 would you convict Mike
00:42:56.260 Tyson?
00:42:56.660 Let's say the guy
00:42:57.280 recovered.
00:42:57.840 He just had some bad
00:42:59.260 bruising, but he wasn't
00:43:00.380 badly injured.
00:43:02.440 Can you imagine...
00:43:03.540 I can't imagine convicting
00:43:04.980 Mike Tyson for that.
00:43:05.980 I would laugh that off.
00:43:08.660 I would say, nope, nope.
00:43:10.520 Saw the video.
00:43:11.500 Nope.
00:43:12.560 But he technically broke
00:43:13.900 the law.
00:43:14.320 Yeah, I know.
00:43:14.980 It's your job as a sworn
00:43:17.520 juror to follow the law,
00:43:20.040 not how you feel about
00:43:21.440 the case.
00:43:22.060 I know, I know.
00:43:23.400 So what do you vote?
00:43:24.240 Not guilty.
