Transcript

00:00:00.660 Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to what I think will be sort of the dopamine high of your entire day.
00:00:09.220 Or, or, have you learned enough from Coffee with Scott Adams that the rest of your day will be even better?
00:00:17.220 Maybe. Maybe so.
00:00:19.520 Because, you know, the people who watch this live stream, science has shown they are sexier, smarter, and more capable of success.
00:00:27.500 It's true. And if you don't believe it, well, you argue with science, not with me.
00:00:33.660 And if you want to take it up a notch, and I know you do, how about a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind filled with your favorite liquid, what would that be?
00:00:44.120 Well, in my case, coffee.
00:00:47.140 Now join me, please, for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:00:52.460 This will be the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:55.780 This is really going to get you going.
00:00:57.980 Get that dopamine pump working.
00:01:01.200 Pump, pump, pump, pump.
00:01:02.560 Go.
00:01:06.700 Oh, yeah.
00:01:08.080 Oh, yeah.
00:01:09.500 Would you like me to teach you now a hypnosis trick for rewiring your own brain for more dopamine?
00:01:18.560 I can do that.
00:01:21.660 Some of you will now have a, oh, in the next two minutes, are you going to have a life skill that will serve you forever?
00:01:30.760 It goes like this.
00:01:34.060 Imagine that you have a dopamine pump in your head.
00:01:39.260 Visualize it like it's some kind of little device.
00:01:41.720 You can visualize the device any way your mind wants to see it, with details, without details, any color, any size.
00:01:50.500 But imagine it's a pump, and it's pumping dopamine out.
00:01:54.260 And when the pump is not working, you don't have any.
00:01:57.780 And when the pump is working really hard, you've got lots of it.
00:02:02.240 So imagine that dopamine pump whenever you're doing something that gives you a little lift.
00:02:09.040 For example, when I have my first sip of coffee, I know it gives me, like, just a tiny little lift.
00:02:19.580 I mean, it's not, like, the best thing that ever happened to you in your life, but it's a lift, and you feel it.
00:02:25.920 And so, when you take that sip, or you do whatever the other activity is, and you know it's going to pump some dopamine into you,
00:02:34.000 imagine that little pump in your head, and just see the pump pumping out the dopamine.
00:02:39.040 And if you do that every time you know that you're actually getting real dopamine, in the normal way,
00:02:45.440 then you'll have this connection.
00:02:47.340 You'll have this visual connection, that you'll start to harden with practice of an actual pump pumping out dopamine.
00:02:55.120 And you should get to the point over time when imagining the pump just by itself will actually trigger the dopamine.
00:03:06.640 Now, what I just gave you is the key to unlock your own brain and reprogram it,
00:03:16.200 because you can generalize from this example.
00:03:19.740 All you have to do is focus and reinforce any two connections that you would like to have a shared experience with.
00:03:29.840 So if there's something you like, for example, after I work out, I always have a protein shake,
00:03:36.060 which I really, really enjoy, because it's the closest thing to a treat that I give myself,
00:03:42.980 because I eat fairly healthy.
00:03:45.200 So it's the most tasty, sort of dessert-y thing, that's the wrong word for it.
00:03:51.320 But I really enjoy it, better than most things that I imbibe.
00:03:55.180 So I do it every time I'm done exercising, when I can.
00:04:01.140 And that little hit is now associated with the exercise.
00:04:04.900 And I do it over and over and over, every day.
00:04:08.240 When I exercise, there's protein in it, so there's a purpose to it.
00:04:12.900 I get a little pleasure.
00:04:15.480 Now, do you think that makes me more likely to exercise,
00:04:18.740 because I've trained myself with like a little dog treat every time I do it?
00:04:23.620 What do you think?
00:04:24.200 Do you think that that literally makes it more likely I'll exercise,
00:04:28.720 that little habit, just giving myself a treat?
00:04:32.200 And the answer is yes, yes.
00:04:34.480 It's a tiny little impact that if you did it every day for a week,
00:04:39.800 you wouldn't notice a difference.
00:04:41.880 If you did it every day for, I don't know, a month or two,
00:04:44.820 you probably wouldn't notice a difference.
00:04:47.400 But if you do it every day for three years,
00:04:49.640 you're just going to be addicted to exercise.
00:04:52.720 You could actually make yourself addicted to good behaviors.
00:04:56.480 There's a whole book on that, The Power of Habit.
00:04:59.740 It's a good one to read.
00:05:00.860 If you want to learn how to program your own brain the same way a hypnotist
00:05:05.520 or an advertising executive would,
00:05:08.640 just know it's attention, repetition,
00:05:12.160 and then connecting two things that you want to connect.
00:05:16.480 Now, it could be two things that you like.
00:05:19.300 You're trying to bleed the qualities of one into the other.
00:05:22.120 But it could be the other way, too.
00:05:23.780 You can create aversions to things.
00:05:27.140 You can create an aversion to things by pairing it with a negative.
00:05:30.660 For example, I don't want to be a drinker of alcohol.
00:05:37.780 I used to be.
00:05:38.620 I liked it a lot.
00:05:39.660 It was great.
00:05:40.520 But I don't think it's good for me.
00:05:42.720 So now whenever the subject of alcohol comes up,
00:05:46.520 I repeat in my mind,
00:05:48.220 alcohol is poison.
00:05:50.180 Sometimes I say that loud.
00:05:52.420 Sometimes I just repeat it in my mind.
00:05:54.200 Over time, those two things are just paired.
00:06:00.100 Now, there's an irrational pairing of them.
00:06:02.340 It's just that they happen at the same time.
00:06:04.380 And I make them happen at the same time.
00:06:07.140 So you can program yourself by these little connections.
00:06:10.940 Remember, focus, repetition.
00:06:14.200 And that repetition should be over years.
00:06:17.540 Think of repetition as a multiple-year process.
00:06:22.120 It's not this week, next month.
00:06:25.040 But if you do this sort of repetition with your brain,
00:06:27.780 you can program it over time for almost anything.
00:06:30.760 It's an amazing way you can get it done.
00:06:32.960 And you don't have to be a hypnotist.
00:06:34.400 You just use those simple principles.
00:06:36.940 Well, what is new?
00:06:40.340 I'm announcing the untimely death of Boo the cat.
00:06:45.820 Many of you knew my cat, Boo,
00:06:47.720 who would join us here on these live streams.
00:06:49.620 She was about seven years old.
00:06:51.860 She had a terrible cancer that couldn't be fixed.
00:06:56.080 And so I tried to keep her comfortable to her final days,
00:06:59.340 which was yesterday.
00:07:00.000 And let me tell you something that's positive about this.
00:07:06.060 You can imagine that I went through a very bad day yesterday.
00:07:11.420 I'll keep it together for you today,
00:07:14.520 just out of respect for the job, I guess.
00:07:17.820 But there were some things that I learned
00:07:20.880 that were kind of amazing, kind of amazing.
00:07:24.980 One of them is that there's somebody whose job it is.
00:07:28.660 Now they come to your house to do it.
00:07:30.780 It used to...
00:07:31.480 Prior animals, I always took them to the vet,
00:07:34.120 and, you know, you did it there.
00:07:35.640 So the newer model, I don't know how widespread this is,
00:07:42.220 but where I live,
00:07:43.420 you can ask somebody to come to your house
00:07:45.860 within several hours,
00:07:47.920 and there's somebody's job.
00:07:51.080 There's a woman who's a doctor,
00:07:53.460 so she's apparently a trained veterinarian.
00:07:55.640 And her job is just this,
00:07:59.600 to come to your house
00:08:01.440 and help you, not just the animal,
00:08:04.820 but help you through it.
00:08:06.340 And, you know, it's very peaceful.
00:08:07.980 There's a sedative that the animal barely notices.
00:08:11.500 The animal falls asleep,
00:08:13.680 and then they follow it up with the kill shot,
00:08:16.700 so to speak, literally.
00:08:19.080 And the entire process is so respectful
00:08:23.880 that it's really special.
00:08:27.860 But I'm mostly impressed by the person.
00:08:32.580 So there's actually somebody whose job
00:08:35.560 is to do that all day long.
00:08:38.320 You know, I don't know how many she would do in a day.
00:08:40.140 Maybe five.
00:08:41.760 Maybe more.
00:08:43.240 Can you even imagine that?
00:08:45.160 That somebody has stepped into that job.
00:08:51.260 The amazing thing about human beings
00:08:54.860 is that we will do any job.
00:08:57.680 Not every person will do every job, of course.
00:09:01.000 But, man, when something needs to get done,
00:09:03.720 you can find somebody who will do it.
00:09:05.860 It's just the most amazing thing.
00:09:07.660 So I found it inspirational.
00:09:08.880 Well, you know,
00:09:12.760 as far as the cat's death itself,
00:09:14.860 it's very tough on me, you can imagine.
00:09:16.940 Because the same thing that I explained earlier
00:09:19.440 about the connecting a positive thing to your habit,
00:09:22.940 well, the cat was very attached to my habits.
00:09:26.260 So that part's going to be really tough to break.
00:09:30.080 But let's talk about other things that are more fun.
00:09:32.080 Is there anything that's true anymore?
00:09:38.040 Pretty much all of the news
00:09:40.300 is a question of whether the news itself is true.
00:09:44.720 Like, that's the news.
00:09:46.400 The news isn't really the news anymore.
00:09:48.440 And then what do you think about the news
00:09:49.860 and how do you interpret it?
00:09:51.320 The news is, well, I don't know if that's true.
00:09:54.420 That doesn't sound true to me.
00:09:56.860 That's completely different, isn't it?
00:09:58.440 Now, was everything always fake?
00:10:01.860 I feel like maybe it was.
00:10:04.560 Don't you?
00:10:05.700 Maybe we just didn't know about it
00:10:07.200 or were more keyed into it.
00:10:09.220 Thank you, Trump, for that.
00:10:11.180 But let's talk about the Amber Turd trial.
00:10:14.340 So Amber Turd got to testify
00:10:16.480 and now she'll say some terrible things about Johnny Depp.
00:10:20.000 But getting back to my main theme,
00:10:23.420 who would believe her?
00:10:25.560 Why would you possibly believe
00:10:28.720 anything that Amber Turd said?
00:10:31.360 I mean, now that she's been actually
00:10:33.120 diagnosed by a professional on the stand
00:10:36.540 who said, I've looked into this
00:10:38.480 and she looks like one of these
00:10:39.700 class B personality types
00:10:42.720 and one of the main characteristics is
00:10:45.180 nothing they say is true.
00:10:49.040 What's the point of even having a testimony?
00:10:50.980 You know, if I were Johnny Depp's attorney
00:10:56.940 and I got to have the final say,
00:11:00.320 I'd say, well, you heard Amber Turd testify,
00:11:03.460 but you also heard somebody testify
00:11:05.380 that everything she says is probably a lie.
00:11:09.100 Medically.
00:11:10.700 It's not even a character insult.
00:11:14.540 I'm not disparaging her.
00:11:16.600 It's not being disrespectful.
00:11:17.880 It's a medical diagnosis that she lies.
00:11:21.220 She's one of those people
00:11:22.460 who is in the lying category
00:11:24.020 and not just a little bit.
00:11:26.240 Because, you know, everybody lies, right?
00:11:29.040 Like, you want to be the one who doesn't.
00:11:32.400 But everybody lies in some situation.
00:11:36.020 You know, we all choose our shots differently,
00:11:38.100 I suppose.
00:11:39.540 But, you know, it's a universal, unfortunately.
00:11:43.120 But some worse than others.
00:11:45.460 And we're not all medically required to lie.
00:11:48.360 That's different.
00:11:50.320 Did you see the video?
00:11:51.500 I saw Mike Sertovich tweeted this,
00:11:53.160 the little video of Amber on the witness stand
00:11:58.400 appearing to snort something
00:12:01.960 that was in a tissue
00:12:05.040 and then go, you know,
00:12:08.440 as if she had snorted cocaine.
00:12:09.820 Now, let me be very clear.
00:12:13.260 I didn't see any cocaine.
00:12:15.880 Right?
00:12:16.240 I didn't see proof of that.
00:12:18.200 So I'm not saying that happened.
00:12:19.880 I'm saying there's a video
00:12:21.000 that looks exactly like it happened.
00:12:24.840 But let's go back to our main theme.
00:12:28.260 Main theme of the live stream today?
00:12:31.040 Nothing's real.
00:12:32.280 You just can't believe anything.
00:12:34.320 Yes, it looked exactly like
00:12:36.360 she was doing cocaine on the witness stand.
00:12:38.560 It looked exactly like it.
00:12:41.640 But do you think that really was true?
00:12:45.300 I kind of doubt it.
00:12:47.640 I sort of doubt it.
00:12:49.480 But it looked like it.
00:12:50.860 So back to the original theme.
00:12:52.900 Nothing's, you can't believe anything.
00:12:55.280 There's just nothing you can believe.
00:12:56.780 You can look right at the video
00:12:57.940 and say, well...
00:12:59.560 All right.
00:13:07.000 So Dinesh D'Souza's film,
00:13:10.000 I guess it's got allegations
00:13:11.200 of voter irregularity in 2020,
00:13:15.300 has been, I guess the account's been banned by Twitter.
00:13:18.800 I don't know the specifics of why they banned it.
00:13:20.960 And I think YouTube has banned it now.
00:13:24.940 Correct?
00:13:25.840 Give me some fact checks on this
00:13:27.820 in case I'm out of date
00:13:29.740 on my information.
00:13:32.000 So now Twitter and YouTube banned it,
00:13:33.980 but you can still see it on Rumble.
00:13:36.360 Correct?
00:13:37.460 Rumble still has it.
00:13:39.280 Is that the only place?
00:13:40.360 Somebody says 1 p.m. today?
00:13:42.380 What's that mean?
00:13:44.020 But it's out, right?
00:13:45.500 It's released?
00:13:48.820 All right.
00:13:49.660 And somebody says Locals has it,
00:13:51.320 but I haven't confirmed that.
00:13:53.060 All right, so here's my story about that.
00:13:55.960 This is just banned enough.
00:13:59.860 There's a thing which is too banned,
00:14:02.420 like you can't find it anywhere,
00:14:03.840 like Hunter's laptop.
00:14:05.700 And then there's not banned at all,
00:14:07.740 and that could be great too.
00:14:09.660 But this is perfectly banned,
00:14:12.000 meaning all it did was make me
00:14:13.400 really kind of want to see it
00:14:14.600 more than I naturally would have.
00:14:16.840 I'm like, really?
00:14:18.260 This is going to be a little hard to get.
00:14:20.840 Are you serious?
00:14:22.800 Oh boy.
00:14:24.560 How good is this thing?
00:14:26.460 They're banning it?
00:14:28.080 That's the best review
00:14:29.240 I've ever seen for a movie.
00:14:31.560 Can I get a list of all the banned stuff?
00:14:33.760 I'd like to binge watch it all.
00:14:36.140 Like, please give me some banned content.
00:14:39.980 I'm just hungry for banned content now.
00:14:42.260 So, I think Dinesh got almost the perfect level of banning
00:14:49.800 that should make this a huge hit.
00:14:52.000 We'll see.
00:14:52.640 Now, I don't have any opinion about the content.
00:14:54.900 I haven't seen it.
00:14:55.680 My understanding
00:14:57.740 is that it makes a good case
00:15:00.200 for further looking into it.
00:15:03.540 I think that's as far as the claim goes, isn't it?
00:15:06.540 You know, it obviously strongly suggests
00:15:09.440 there's evidence of irregularity,
00:15:11.740 but it stops short of claiming that it's proven.
00:15:14.600 And it suggests further research
00:15:20.420 which would tell us for sure
00:15:22.300 whether anything was there or not.
00:15:25.020 So, to me, that doesn't sound like a bannable content,
00:15:29.200 but maybe I'd be surprised if I looked at it.
00:15:32.060 I suppose that's why we look at it.
00:15:33.740 I have a hypothesis about why Netflix traffic is down.
00:15:41.280 I want to see if this sounds at all
00:15:43.220 like any experience you've had.
00:15:46.760 Prior to the pandemic,
00:15:48.920 we might have had one streaming service,
00:15:52.100 and it might have been Netflix.
00:15:52.980 And the process for watching a Netflix movie,
00:15:57.060 often on your television,
00:15:59.180 would be you just fire it up.
00:16:02.820 Your password's probably already in there.
00:16:05.760 And you even pick up where you left off
00:16:09.820 so you don't even have to search for anything
00:16:11.560 because maybe you're binge-watching already.
00:16:13.840 And there's lots of stuff there you like
00:16:15.600 and a whole bunch of good content.
00:16:17.780 So you pick one,
00:16:19.000 and it's a really simple, easy interface.
00:16:21.380 It's a really clean experience, right?
00:16:24.880 That was before the pandemic.
00:16:27.500 Would you say that that explains
00:16:30.680 the user experience for Netflix?
00:16:33.500 Was that fair?
00:16:34.860 Clean, easy, lots of stuff to binge-watch,
00:16:38.260 real easy to pick up where you left off.
00:16:40.940 Right.
00:16:41.980 Okay, now the pandemic happens.
00:16:44.960 Okay?
00:16:45.840 The pandemic happens,
00:16:47.280 and then you think,
00:16:48.460 you know, I've seen everything on Netflix.
00:16:50.280 I'm going to need some more streaming services.
00:16:53.560 So if you're like me,
00:16:54.860 you said to yourself,
00:16:55.720 all right,
00:16:56.780 you know, eight bucks a month,
00:16:58.320 I'm stuck inside.
00:17:00.140 It's the same money I would have spent,
00:17:01.720 it was way less,
00:17:03.120 than I would have spent if I'd gone somewhere.
00:17:05.660 So I'll just give several streaming services
00:17:08.060 to get me through the pandemic
00:17:09.780 because it's a real good,
00:17:11.600 cost-effective entertainment.
00:17:12.880 So then you have the experience
00:17:16.600 like I had yesterday.
00:17:18.740 Let me explain my experience
00:17:20.180 to watch a show
00:17:22.120 because now I have lots of options.
00:17:24.380 I've got iPads and phones
00:17:25.780 and different apps on different things,
00:17:27.960 different accounts,
00:17:28.900 and I also have an Apple TV
00:17:32.360 connected to my TV,
00:17:34.520 so I've got all kinds of options now,
00:17:36.220 great options.
00:17:36.760 So I saw there was a notice
00:17:38.940 for a movie that I wanted to watch.
00:17:42.220 I saw an advertisement for it.
00:17:43.700 I'm like,
00:17:43.900 oh, I'm going to watch that.
00:17:45.440 And then the next thing I thought was,
00:17:47.560 is that on Amazon Prime?
00:17:51.360 Or did I see that on Netflix?
00:17:53.540 Is that a Disney thing?
00:17:55.680 HBO Max.
00:17:57.100 No.
00:17:58.480 No, it's Hulu.
00:18:00.280 It's probably Hulu.
00:18:02.680 So the first thing I do
00:18:04.040 is I've got to figure out
00:18:05.400 where the damn thing is.
00:18:06.880 But I'm like,
00:18:07.340 okay, that's not that much work.
00:18:09.780 I could Google it.
00:18:11.500 That's not that much work, right?
00:18:14.060 So I turn on the TV
00:18:15.360 and it doesn't come on
00:18:16.340 because the first problem is
00:18:19.100 that I have several pieces of technology
00:18:21.400 that have all rotted
00:18:22.840 since the last time I used them.
00:18:24.960 I don't know why.
00:18:26.620 The TV no longer turned on
00:18:28.300 at the same time as the Apple TV,
00:18:30.460 but it used to.
00:18:31.740 It's the wrong.
00:18:33.040 Now the channel's wrong
00:18:34.340 and there was a cable unplugged.
00:18:37.200 I don't know why.
00:18:39.500 So it took me, I think, 15 minutes
00:18:42.120 to work out the cabling,
00:18:44.400 the HDMI,
00:18:45.840 and why the TV
00:18:46.800 and the box weren't turning on,
00:18:48.460 the remote wasn't working.
00:18:50.560 And then I finally got it on.
00:18:52.440 Then I went to look for it.
00:18:54.060 Do you know what happens next?
00:18:56.140 So you say,
00:18:57.300 oh, it's on this service.
00:18:58.760 But it doesn't work for some reason
00:19:00.320 because my Wi-Fi
00:19:01.620 was no longer connected
00:19:02.760 to my Apple TV.
00:19:04.820 So I had to go through
00:19:05.680 and figure out how to reset it
00:19:07.740 to my new Wi-Fi.
00:19:09.540 Then, of course,
00:19:10.220 my streaming services
00:19:11.260 were turned off
00:19:12.580 because I had a credit card problem,
00:19:16.080 lost credit card.
00:19:17.480 So then they were trying to renew
00:19:19.840 and they were going to nothing
00:19:21.760 because the credit card was dead.
00:19:23.580 So I had to fix my credit cards,
00:19:27.520 which means getting my wallet
00:19:28.700 to look at my credit card number,
00:19:30.160 to put in a new credit card,
00:19:31.620 and then test it.
00:19:33.300 Then it's going to call my phone
00:19:35.160 and it's going to test my phone
00:19:36.460 and put in the password.
00:19:38.060 It's going to send it to a device.
00:19:39.960 And you know that thing
00:19:40.880 where you recover the password
00:19:42.120 that you're sure you knew
00:19:43.020 but for some reason
00:19:43.740 it's not working anymore?
00:19:45.740 And they're going to email you
00:19:47.160 the new password?
00:19:47.880 They don't email you
00:19:51.260 the new password.
00:19:53.260 I don't want to be a spoiler.
00:19:55.660 Sometimes they do.
00:19:56.800 It's happened.
00:19:58.060 But usually,
00:19:59.140 they really don't send you anything.
00:20:01.540 And you're waiting for the text
00:20:02.700 or the email.
00:20:04.900 And it just doesn't come.
00:20:06.960 And they know it doesn't come.
00:20:08.420 Do you know how I know
00:20:09.160 they know it doesn't come?
00:20:10.700 Because they put a button there
00:20:11.840 that says retry.
00:20:13.420 Did you not get it?
00:20:15.520 They're telling you it's not coming.
00:20:17.880 Otherwise,
00:20:18.520 it wouldn't be a try again button
00:20:19.800 if you know what I mean.
00:20:21.400 So I try again.
00:20:22.800 And I wait again.
00:20:24.500 Now 45 minutes has gone by.
00:20:26.740 I barely remember
00:20:27.640 the name of the movie.
00:20:29.100 I'm almost there.
00:20:30.920 Finally,
00:20:31.740 I get my password straightened out.
00:20:33.280 I get my credit card straightened out.
00:20:34.900 I've got my Wi-Fi working.
00:20:36.640 My TV and my Apple TV
00:20:38.260 are now paired.
00:20:39.420 The remote control is working.
00:20:41.420 Now I just have to find it.
00:20:43.880 So I'm searching
00:20:44.800 through the various things
00:20:45.960 because I'm too lazy
00:20:47.460 to Google it
00:20:48.640 because, you know,
00:20:50.540 I've got...
00:20:52.420 Because when I...
00:20:53.120 Usually when I search for things,
00:20:54.340 I do it by voice.
00:20:56.200 And so I pick up my phone
00:20:57.780 and I say...
00:20:59.120 I don't want to say it too loud,
00:21:01.220 but A-L-E-X-A.
00:21:03.600 And then I realize,
00:21:04.760 no, that's not for the phone.
00:21:06.980 That's for the other device.
00:21:08.760 But then I started saying,
00:21:10.460 hey, S-I-R-I,
00:21:12.560 but it can't hear me
00:21:13.500 because the A-L-E-X-A
00:21:15.480 is talking.
00:21:16.520 And I'm like,
00:21:16.900 shut up!
00:21:17.900 I'm trying to talk
00:21:18.840 to my other device
00:21:19.840 to search for
00:21:21.240 where that movie is
00:21:22.380 whose name I can't remember now,
00:21:24.240 but I can remember
00:21:24.840 one of the actors.
00:21:25.660 If I look up the actor,
00:21:26.920 I could go to his IMDb page
00:21:28.760 and I could figure out
00:21:30.100 what movie he's in recently.
00:21:31.440 That'll give me
00:21:32.000 the name of the movie.
00:21:33.140 And I can search
00:21:33.680 for the movie on Google
00:21:34.520 and find out
00:21:35.500 which subscription service
00:21:36.640 is on.
00:21:37.440 I can go to that
00:21:38.200 subscription service
00:21:39.080 and that will be the one
00:21:40.380 that doesn't accept
00:21:41.380 the credit card
00:21:42.020 or can't get me in.
00:21:44.980 But I figure it out.
00:21:47.140 I solve that one.
00:21:48.100 I get in.
00:21:48.660 I'm in.
00:21:49.620 I find the movie.
00:21:52.600 I've succeeded.
00:21:54.500 I'm in the right service.
00:21:56.080 The technology is working.
00:21:57.340 All of my passwords,
00:21:58.180 my credit cards.
00:21:59.280 There's the movie.
00:22:00.160 I click on it.
00:22:01.820 And it says,
00:22:03.040 what's it say?
00:22:05.220 What's it say
00:22:06.100 when I click on it?
00:22:07.220 Available next week.
00:22:11.020 Yeah.
00:22:11.600 Available next week.
00:22:12.560 That's the part
00:22:13.000 I didn't see
00:22:13.460 in the advertisement.
00:22:15.560 Available next week.
00:22:19.820 Now,
00:22:22.360 in the comments,
00:22:24.080 in the comments,
00:22:25.460 how many of you feel me?
00:22:28.480 Do you feel me?
00:22:29.820 Maybe not that exact experience,
00:22:32.280 but how hard is it
00:22:33.420 just to watch a show?
00:22:35.460 Now, add on top of that,
00:22:36.720 watching it with another person.
00:22:40.360 Try to watch that show
00:22:41.420 with another person.
00:22:42.740 You can't find two people
00:22:43.920 who want to watch
00:22:44.460 the same thing
00:22:44.980 at the same time.
00:22:46.520 Can't be done.
00:22:48.240 So we went from a time
00:22:49.780 when I was a kid
00:22:50.640 where there was only
00:22:51.380 one thing on,
00:22:52.520 or three,
00:22:54.300 and you just sat down
00:22:55.800 and you just watch everything,
00:22:57.480 and you were reasonably
00:22:58.500 happy about it.
00:22:59.760 Now everybody's so fussy,
00:23:01.720 and there are so many choices,
00:23:02.860 you just can't watch anything.
00:23:04.680 Here's my take.
00:23:06.560 Before the pandemic,
00:23:07.940 watching Netflix
00:23:08.760 was a good user experience.
00:23:12.100 After the pandemic,
00:23:13.700 and it's no fault of Netflix,
00:23:15.840 Netflix is fine.
00:23:17.300 Netflix might even be
00:23:18.260 better than usual.
00:23:19.620 But all the other stuff
00:23:21.100 came in
00:23:21.960 and made it impossible
00:23:22.920 just to use Netflix.
00:23:24.720 Because then Netflix
00:23:25.480 became part of the problem
00:23:26.680 when in fact
00:23:28.160 it was a solution
00:23:28.980 before the pandemic.
00:23:29.880 It went from a solution
00:23:31.600 to part of the problem.
00:23:33.660 And talk to somebody
00:23:35.300 these days
00:23:35.820 about watching
00:23:36.420 a movie together.
00:23:37.920 They're going to say,
00:23:38.500 ah, that's a lot of work.
00:23:41.540 It's harder than...
00:23:43.440 This is no joke.
00:23:46.320 When I consider
00:23:47.120 driving to a movie theater
00:23:48.580 to watch a movie
00:23:49.380 versus live streaming it,
00:23:51.720 I think driving
00:23:52.860 to the movie theater
00:23:53.680 is easier.
00:23:54.200 So there's your reason.
00:24:00.700 I think Netflix
00:24:01.600 is suffering
00:24:02.200 from the fact
00:24:02.820 that the concept
00:24:04.240 of live streaming
00:24:05.100 got too hard.
00:24:06.400 Just too many variables.
00:24:09.040 All right.
00:24:10.780 Here is...
00:24:11.800 I'm going to give credit
00:24:12.620 to the Biden administration.
00:24:14.000 Full-throated credit.
00:24:15.780 There's no...
00:24:17.200 This next compliment
00:24:18.600 is to show you
00:24:21.360 that I can be objective.
00:24:22.720 because I'm no big fan
00:24:24.980 of the Biden administration.
00:24:27.100 But they're doing a push
00:24:29.220 to promote 3D printing,
00:24:33.160 manufacturing,
00:24:34.380 in the United States
00:24:35.340 as part of the supply chain
00:24:36.820 solution.
00:24:38.720 To which I say,
00:24:41.020 whoa,
00:24:41.840 that's really good.
00:24:44.120 That's really good.
00:24:45.820 Like, that's really,
00:24:47.000 really, really good.
00:24:47.960 because I'm not sure
00:24:49.620 how far you can go
00:24:50.640 with the 3D printing
00:24:52.700 of parts
00:24:53.220 as opposed to
00:24:54.040 shipping them
00:24:54.520 from China.
00:24:56.040 But that's exactly
00:24:57.900 where I would be
00:24:58.880 putting my focus
00:24:59.840 because we could actually
00:25:01.800 just make a gigantic
00:25:03.520 difference
00:25:04.900 of the supply chain
00:25:05.980 and our vulnerability
00:25:07.660 if the only thing
00:25:09.140 we needed
00:25:09.500 was raw materials
00:25:10.540 that are part
00:25:11.320 of the printer.
00:25:12.800 Now, of course,
00:25:13.980 that's not going
00:25:14.400 to help you
00:25:14.720 with your rare
00:25:15.620 earth minerals.
00:25:18.060 But I suspect
00:25:19.060 we'll get better
00:25:19.680 at recycling
00:25:20.240 that stuff as well.
00:25:22.580 So,
00:25:24.240 you know,
00:25:24.460 maybe 3D printing
00:25:25.820 plus better recycling
00:25:27.320 of rare minerals
00:25:28.960 that are already
00:25:29.620 in a lot of our products.
00:25:31.620 Maybe that's,
00:25:32.720 maybe that's how
00:25:34.000 we get China
00:25:34.580 off our back.
00:25:35.900 This could be
00:25:36.580 a big deal.
00:25:37.660 Now,
00:25:38.960 let me say
00:25:39.640 if Trump had done this,
00:25:42.580 I would be
00:25:43.340 equally complimentary.
00:25:45.800 I would call this
00:25:46.940 the leapfrog
00:25:48.000 strategy.
00:25:51.260 One of the
00:25:52.240 advantages
00:25:52.900 of having
00:25:54.900 your country
00:25:55.440 destroyed,
00:25:56.360 and maybe Ukraine
00:25:57.200 will learn this,
00:25:58.240 is if you get rid
00:25:59.100 of all the legacy
00:25:59.860 stuff,
00:26:00.740 and you can just
00:26:01.300 start from scratch,
00:26:03.660 you can build
00:26:04.700 something awesome
00:26:05.360 that's way better
00:26:06.700 than if you had
00:26:07.300 just incrementally
00:26:08.180 improved whatever
00:26:09.220 you were doing
00:26:09.840 from that point on.
00:26:11.220 So,
00:26:11.480 3D printing
00:26:12.080 is so out
00:26:13.600 of a different
00:26:14.040 field
00:26:14.440 that you could
00:26:16.200 just leapfrog
00:26:17.060 the entire
00:26:18.300 system of making
00:26:19.400 things in another
00:26:20.220 country,
00:26:21.200 putting them
00:26:21.620 on some
00:26:22.840 shipping container
00:26:23.760 and shipping
00:26:24.920 them,
00:26:25.340 putting them
00:26:25.640 on a truck.
00:26:26.800 I mean,
00:26:27.420 if you look
00:26:28.120 at the amount
00:26:28.680 of stuff
00:26:29.120 you would get
00:26:29.580 rid of,
00:26:30.580 that entire
00:26:31.220 process,
00:26:32.540 that's just
00:26:33.700 insane how
00:26:34.500 smart that is
00:26:35.540 that we're
00:26:35.820 looking at that.
00:26:36.460 All right.
00:26:40.220 So,
00:26:41.100 kudos to
00:26:41.920 Biden for that.
00:26:45.720 So,
00:26:46.440 there's stories
00:26:47.180 today,
00:26:47.740 and I think
00:26:48.160 everybody's a
00:26:48.720 little confused.
00:26:49.500 I'm a little
00:26:49.860 confused by this
00:26:50.620 too.
00:26:51.420 But the news
00:26:52.360 is reporting
00:26:52.920 that it's now
00:26:54.300 clear that the
00:26:55.480 U.S.
00:26:56.140 intelligence
00:26:56.520 people helped
00:26:58.240 Ukrainians
00:26:59.280 confirm the
00:27:00.360 big Russian
00:27:02.720 ship that got
00:27:03.560 blown up with
00:27:04.360 a missile,
00:27:04.640 the Moskva.
00:27:07.040 So,
00:27:08.120 we don't
00:27:08.600 really want
00:27:09.200 to be,
00:27:09.620 we,
00:27:10.080 the United
00:27:10.460 States,
00:27:11.060 we don't
00:27:11.460 want to be
00:27:11.860 seen as
00:27:12.540 in the war
00:27:13.320 against Russia,
00:27:14.520 even though
00:27:15.680 it's clear
00:27:16.260 we're supporting
00:27:17.000 someone who's
00:27:17.800 in the war
00:27:18.500 with Russia.
00:27:19.500 But we,
00:27:20.120 you know,
00:27:20.500 we're trying
00:27:20.920 not to blur
00:27:21.460 that line
00:27:22.000 too much.
00:27:22.940 But why
00:27:23.400 is it that
00:27:24.000 even the
00:27:25.480 news on the
00:27:26.060 left,
00:27:26.480 you know,
00:27:26.640 the CNNs,
00:27:27.800 are reporting
00:27:28.360 this story,
00:27:28.860 and it's a
00:27:29.140 major story,
00:27:30.680 but it doesn't
00:27:31.240 really,
00:27:32.020 it doesn't add
00:27:32.740 that much
00:27:33.280 because it,
00:27:33.780 the claim
00:27:35.100 here,
00:27:35.460 at least by
00:27:35.900 America,
00:27:36.800 the claim
00:27:37.280 is that
00:27:37.840 the United
00:27:38.780 States helped
00:27:39.440 confirm the
00:27:41.080 location,
00:27:42.200 confirm that
00:27:43.060 it was the
00:27:43.460 ship they
00:27:43.800 thought it
00:27:44.140 was,
00:27:44.780 but really
00:27:45.440 the Ukrainians
00:27:46.200 had all the
00:27:46.660 intelligence they
00:27:47.340 needed.
00:27:48.060 So it's like
00:27:48.400 barely made
00:27:48.960 any difference.
00:27:50.220 So we're
00:27:50.540 trying to paint
00:27:51.120 it as,
00:27:51.520 yeah,
00:27:51.780 yeah,
00:27:52.120 we did a
00:27:53.380 little confirming,
00:27:54.500 but they have
00:27:55.820 their own
00:27:56.420 ability to do
00:27:57.420 stuff,
00:27:57.820 you know,
00:27:57.980 we didn't help
00:27:58.500 them that much.
00:27:59.220 Now,
00:27:59.400 nobody believes
00:27:59.980 that,
00:28:00.240 right?
00:28:00.400 Whatever the
00:28:02.340 United States
00:28:02.900 is saying
00:28:03.400 about how
00:28:03.880 much we
00:28:04.340 are or
00:28:04.900 are not
00:28:05.300 helping
00:28:05.720 Ukraine,
00:28:06.820 it's obviously
00:28:07.800 more than
00:28:08.280 that.
00:28:09.360 It's obviously,
00:28:10.400 you know,
00:28:10.700 we're helping
00:28:11.740 them with
00:28:12.240 spotting and
00:28:13.400 logistics,
00:28:14.120 not logistics
00:28:14.680 so much,
00:28:15.140 but,
00:28:15.680 you know,
00:28:15.900 all the
00:28:16.340 visual locating
00:28:18.280 of stuff,
00:28:19.040 of course we're
00:28:19.860 helping them
00:28:20.320 with that.
00:28:21.520 Do you think
00:28:22.080 that Russia
00:28:23.280 is reading CNN
00:28:24.180 to find out
00:28:25.020 if the
00:28:26.340 U.S.
00:28:26.640 is helping
00:28:27.040 Ukraine?
00:28:29.460 So I don't
00:28:30.160 really know
00:28:30.620 why this
00:28:32.700 story is
00:28:33.280 out.
00:28:33.920 So it's a
00:28:34.520 story about
00:28:34.920 the story,
00:28:35.440 I guess.
00:28:36.080 Why is this
00:28:36.680 story out?
00:28:38.200 It feels like
00:28:39.120 we're being
00:28:39.460 primed for
00:28:40.180 something,
00:28:40.660 doesn't it?
00:28:42.040 It's like
00:28:42.760 we're being
00:28:43.580 vaccinated for
00:28:44.560 something bigger,
00:28:46.340 possibly.
00:28:47.940 You know,
00:28:48.240 it's just the
00:28:49.880 oddity of this
00:28:51.180 being a story
00:28:51.800 at the same
00:28:52.320 time in
00:28:52.980 multiple places.
00:28:55.020 And the
00:28:56.900 fact that it's
00:28:57.380 not really a
00:28:58.080 story.
00:28:58.760 I guess that's
00:28:59.320 what it is.
00:29:00.480 It became a
00:29:01.760 story out of
00:29:02.300 nothing when
00:29:03.900 there's nothing
00:29:04.640 to it,
00:29:05.240 actually.
00:29:06.340 Because we
00:29:06.940 always assumed
00:29:07.600 that,
00:29:07.980 didn't we?
00:29:08.680 Didn't we
00:29:09.040 always assume
00:29:09.540 that the
00:29:09.840 U.S.
00:29:10.120 was at
00:29:10.820 least a
00:29:11.160 little bit
00:29:11.540 involved in
00:29:12.820 the intelligence
00:29:13.420 situation there?
00:29:14.680 And so this
00:29:15.360 would just be
00:29:15.860 confirming that
00:29:16.620 the U.S.
00:29:17.060 is just a
00:29:17.640 little bit
00:29:17.940 involved in
00:29:18.560 the intelligence
00:29:19.080 service stuff.
00:29:21.040 So it's not
00:29:21.820 really a story
00:29:22.600 because it's
00:29:24.100 everything that
00:29:24.680 everybody would
00:29:25.280 have imagined
00:29:25.760 was exactly
00:29:26.440 the case if
00:29:27.920 they hadn't
00:29:28.280 told us
00:29:28.660 anything.
00:29:29.760 So why is
00:29:30.600 it a story?
00:29:31.240 And why is
00:29:31.660 it suddenly a
00:29:32.320 story?
00:29:33.200 And I'm not
00:29:33.880 sure that there
00:29:34.300 was enough of
00:29:34.820 a trigger in
00:29:35.540 the news to
00:29:36.140 make it a
00:29:36.540 story.
00:29:37.460 It feels
00:29:38.240 planted and it
00:29:39.260 feels part of
00:29:40.040 some kind of
00:29:42.500 an operation.
00:29:43.700 I mean, it
00:29:44.000 just feels like
00:29:44.960 there's something
00:29:45.460 behind this being
00:29:46.400 a story at the
00:29:47.100 moment.
00:29:48.220 As if somebody
00:29:49.160 is trying to
00:29:49.720 push us into a
00:29:50.520 bigger war with
00:29:51.180 Russia, for
00:29:52.300 example.
00:29:52.940 I'm not saying
00:29:53.540 that's the
00:29:53.920 case, but it
00:29:55.600 has that feel
00:29:56.260 to it, like
00:29:56.760 this doesn't
00:29:58.560 feel right.
00:30:01.740 All right.
00:30:04.420 How many of
00:30:05.280 you have
00:30:05.620 followed my
00:30:06.200 series in
00:30:06.960 Dilbert about
00:30:07.780 Dave, the
00:30:08.660 new engineer,
00:30:10.200 who is
00:30:11.400 portrayed
00:30:12.760 visually to
00:30:13.980 look exactly
00:30:14.840 like he's
00:30:15.480 probably black,
00:30:16.840 but he's
00:30:17.520 decided to
00:30:18.360 identify as
00:30:19.240 white, and
00:30:20.740 it's revealed
00:30:21.620 in the
00:30:21.980 series that
00:30:22.620 he may be
00:30:23.580 pranking the
00:30:24.240 boss.
00:30:25.200 So it's
00:30:25.620 sort of a
00:30:25.980 prank.
00:30:26.520 He won't
00:30:26.860 identify as
00:30:27.520 black.
00:30:28.700 And I
00:30:30.900 told you it
00:30:31.400 runs through
00:30:31.740 Thursday, but
00:30:32.280 I'd forgotten
00:30:32.700 there's actually
00:30:33.260 a Friday.
00:30:34.300 So Friday is
00:30:35.020 the last of
00:30:36.300 that series.
00:30:37.960 However, it
00:30:38.760 looks like that
00:30:39.720 one didn't give
00:30:40.440 me any trouble
00:30:41.060 at all.
00:30:42.100 A number of
00:30:42.640 newspapers didn't
00:30:43.700 run it, but
00:30:46.160 that doesn't
00:30:47.180 cost me any
00:30:47.940 money or
00:30:48.260 anything.
00:30:48.440 However, it
00:30:51.120 looks like I'm
00:30:51.600 going to have
00:30:51.840 a slightly
00:30:52.380 larger problem
00:30:53.280 with the one
00:30:53.760 that's upcoming.
00:30:55.180 This one's not
00:30:56.040 about Dave.
00:30:56.980 This is a new
00:30:57.600 topic in which
00:30:59.160 I'll give you a
00:31:00.260 little advance
00:31:01.380 on this.
00:31:03.740 If it gets
00:31:04.640 published, and
00:31:06.240 it's looking kind
00:31:06.960 of iffy at this
00:31:07.620 point, I'll be
00:31:09.980 talking about that
00:31:10.680 with my editor
00:31:12.460 today.
00:31:14.540 If it gets
00:31:15.320 published, it
00:31:15.840 would feature
00:31:16.380 Wally, identifying
00:31:18.840 as a birthing
00:31:20.020 human, and
00:31:22.060 doing that so
00:31:23.600 he could get
00:31:24.000 some benefits.
00:31:26.660 So it would
00:31:27.440 be, he would
00:31:28.700 be clearly
00:31:29.220 stating that he's
00:31:30.120 not actually a
00:31:31.240 birthing person,
00:31:32.020 but he's
00:31:32.480 identifying as
00:31:33.280 him.
00:31:34.720 Now, he
00:31:35.200 would just, and
00:31:35.780 it would be
00:31:36.360 clear that he's
00:31:36.940 just doing it to
00:31:37.640 game the system.
00:31:40.220 Now, I told
00:31:42.780 you that I'm
00:31:43.320 already in trouble
00:31:44.140 with the trans
00:31:44.920 community, because
00:31:46.300 they thought that
00:31:46.980 the series about
00:31:47.960 Dave, the
00:31:48.560 engineer, was
00:31:49.800 about trans, but
00:31:51.300 it wasn't, like
00:31:52.460 it didn't even
00:31:52.900 occur to me that
00:31:53.760 anybody would
00:31:54.580 interpret it that
00:31:55.260 way.
00:31:56.120 So I'm already in
00:31:57.220 trouble with the
00:31:57.700 community for
00:31:59.160 something I didn't
00:31:59.920 do, like I
00:32:00.960 literally didn't do,
00:32:02.040 had nothing to do
00:32:02.800 with anything in
00:32:03.540 that topic, but I
00:32:05.500 do have one that's
00:32:06.600 a little closer to
00:32:07.780 their topic, and
00:32:08.680 now they're all
00:32:09.220 primed.
00:32:09.760 So, kind of
00:32:13.700 asking for it,
00:32:14.500 aren't I, at
00:32:15.360 this point?
00:32:16.220 Now, again, the
00:32:17.540 way I treat the
00:32:18.240 topic is completely
00:32:19.200 respectful, in my
00:32:20.360 opinion.
00:32:22.040 In my opinion, it's
00:32:23.180 respectful, meaning
00:32:24.600 that it doesn't make
00:32:25.480 fun of anybody of
00:32:27.180 any type.
00:32:28.200 It's literally about
00:32:29.080 one guy.
00:32:30.360 It's about a
00:32:31.200 character named
00:32:31.840 Wally, who tries
00:32:33.800 to use every
00:32:34.700 mechanism to avoid
00:32:36.680 work.
00:32:37.740 That's it.
00:32:38.280 That it's only
00:32:39.600 about that.
00:32:40.720 So it's about how
00:32:41.560 people deal with
00:32:42.500 the texture of
00:32:44.920 society.
00:32:45.600 It's not about
00:32:46.120 whether it's right
00:32:46.720 or wrong.
00:32:47.660 It's not about
00:32:48.220 who's good or bad.
00:32:49.240 It's not who's
00:32:49.720 winning or losing.
00:32:50.400 It's nothing.
00:32:51.320 It's literally about
00:32:52.080 one character who
00:32:52.880 doesn't even exist.
00:32:54.620 How much trouble am
00:32:55.520 I going to get into
00:32:56.280 for doing a comic
00:32:57.940 about one character
00:32:59.500 who doesn't even
00:33:00.220 exist?
00:33:01.740 A lot.
00:33:03.500 Let me give you
00:33:04.280 the landscape of
00:33:05.400 my life here.
00:33:08.280 So at this
00:33:09.520 point, I will
00:33:10.160 have the trans
00:33:10.840 community hating
00:33:11.720 me because they
00:33:13.080 thought a comic
00:33:13.720 that had nothing
00:33:14.300 to do with them
00:33:15.060 was about them.
00:33:16.700 That's number
00:33:17.180 one.
00:33:18.120 And by the way,
00:33:20.500 you've watched me
00:33:21.400 long enough to
00:33:22.120 know, is there
00:33:23.200 anybody who's a
00:33:23.920 bigger supporter
00:33:24.620 of the LGBTQ
00:33:25.920 community than
00:33:29.480 me?
00:33:30.760 Probably not.
00:33:32.480 Probably not.
00:33:33.660 You'd have to
00:33:34.160 look pretty hard
00:33:34.960 to find somebody
00:33:36.160 who's more
00:33:36.580 supporting of
00:33:37.380 that community
00:33:38.540 in particular.
00:33:39.780 Like, in
00:33:41.020 particular.
00:33:42.440 It's so much
00:33:42.920 so that my
00:33:43.520 audience often
00:33:44.580 hates me for it.
00:33:47.600 All right.
00:33:48.100 Here's another
00:33:48.560 one.
00:33:49.420 If you were to
00:33:50.180 Google me, you
00:33:51.600 would find out
00:33:52.360 incorrectly, because
00:33:54.100 it was fake news,
00:33:55.280 that I had said
00:33:55.940 something terrible
00:33:56.640 about women.
00:33:57.420 I'm not even
00:33:57.840 going to get into
00:33:58.380 the details, because
00:33:59.800 it didn't really
00:34:00.320 happen.
00:34:00.600 So there's a
00:34:02.180 story taken out
00:34:02.920 of context, which
00:34:04.840 if you see it
00:34:05.460 in a context, would
00:34:06.940 appear that I'm an
00:34:08.400 incredible women-hating
00:34:09.920 sexist, which is
00:34:12.680 exactly the opposite
00:34:13.820 of anything that's
00:34:14.740 ever been in my
00:34:15.340 head or in my
00:34:16.200 life.
00:34:17.600 I was raised by a
00:34:19.100 strong woman, have
00:34:20.500 a strong woman as
00:34:21.460 a sister, have, you
00:34:23.300 know, most of my
00:34:23.880 relationships are with
00:34:24.840 strong women of one
00:34:25.880 type or another.
00:34:26.480 I don't really
00:34:28.980 have whatever it
00:34:30.960 is that people
00:34:31.660 imagine I have in
00:34:32.640 my head, right?
00:34:33.920 So now the trans
00:34:34.680 people hate me for
00:34:36.120 something that
00:34:36.760 didn't happen.
00:34:38.660 Women hate me, if
00:34:40.760 they've Googled me,
00:34:41.820 they hate me for
00:34:42.580 something, again,
00:34:43.400 that literally
00:34:43.820 didn't happen.
00:34:45.200 Literally didn't
00:34:45.840 happen.
00:34:49.020 Minorities hate
00:34:49.780 me because of the
00:34:51.220 fake news about
00:34:51.980 Trump, so to the
00:34:53.260 degree that I'm
00:34:54.020 associated with
00:34:54.920 supporting Trump,
00:34:56.480 people think, well,
00:34:58.900 then you also
00:34:59.420 support these other
00:35:00.240 things, like the
00:35:00.920 fine people comment.
00:35:03.320 No, because that
00:35:04.100 didn't happen.
00:35:05.620 So there are a
00:35:06.100 whole bunch of
00:35:06.600 Trump hoaxes that
00:35:08.840 accrue to me that
00:35:11.860 are things that
00:35:12.340 literally didn't
00:35:12.860 happen.
00:35:14.680 Okay?
00:35:15.380 So now I've got
00:35:16.640 trans hating me for
00:35:17.780 something that
00:35:18.280 didn't happen, women
00:35:19.060 hating me for
00:35:19.660 something that
00:35:20.140 didn't happen,
00:35:21.320 minorities hating me
00:35:22.500 for something that
00:35:23.300 didn't happen with
00:35:23.960 Trump that accrues
00:35:25.100 to me.
00:35:26.480 And here's the
00:35:27.700 last one.
00:35:28.940 A lot of
00:35:29.800 conservatives are
00:35:30.740 turned off to me
00:35:31.620 because they
00:35:32.660 believe I was
00:35:33.240 pushing vaccines,
00:35:34.840 which also never
00:35:36.360 happened.
00:35:37.800 Literally never
00:35:38.540 happened.
00:35:40.180 So I've
00:35:40.920 actually...
00:35:42.420 Somebody says I'm
00:35:45.900 acting like a
00:35:46.620 victim.
00:35:47.860 Am I?
00:35:48.620 I thought this was
00:35:49.460 interesting.
00:35:50.240 Is this not
00:35:50.760 interesting?
00:35:51.120 Don't you find
00:35:53.700 it interesting that
00:35:54.740 my entire public
00:35:57.260 brand is 100%,
00:35:59.700 100% based on
00:36:01.680 things that never
00:36:02.280 happened?
00:36:03.260 All of it.
00:36:04.480 All of it is based
00:36:05.600 on stuff that
00:36:06.120 didn't happen.
00:36:07.180 Every fucking bit
00:36:08.140 of it.
00:36:09.940 Is that not
00:36:10.780 interesting?
00:36:11.700 I think that's
00:36:12.600 interesting.
00:36:14.400 All right.
00:36:14.760 All right.
00:36:14.800 It's hard to
00:36:19.420 know what's
00:36:19.760 interesting to
00:36:20.300 other people.
00:36:22.600 But I suppose
00:36:23.580 that's my job,
00:36:24.380 so I should be...
00:36:25.080 I should know
00:36:25.500 that,
00:36:25.780 shouldn't I?
00:36:27.060 Press on,
00:36:27.820 buddy,
00:36:28.400 Craig says.
00:36:29.800 We're going to
00:36:30.120 press on.
00:36:30.640 Something that's
00:36:31.040 interesting to you.
00:36:32.260 All right.
00:36:32.600 So people are
00:36:34.380 up in arms
00:36:34.900 because there's
00:36:35.520 a left-leaning
00:36:36.600 group that
00:36:37.820 published the
00:36:38.380 home addresses
00:36:39.100 of some of
00:36:39.760 the conservative
00:36:41.600 justices,
00:36:42.940 Supreme Court
00:36:43.460 justices.
00:36:44.400 And this would
00:36:45.180 be so that
00:36:46.080 people would
00:36:46.620 go protest
00:36:47.200 at their
00:36:47.680 homes.
00:36:51.900 How alarming
00:36:52.860 is that
00:36:53.500 compared to,
00:36:55.680 let's say,
00:36:56.080 January 6th?
00:36:56.960 Because everybody
00:36:57.520 is going to
00:36:57.840 compare it to
00:36:58.300 January 6th,
00:36:59.060 right?
00:36:59.620 Hey,
00:37:00.020 if January 6th
00:37:00.820 was so bad,
00:37:02.600 isn't this
00:37:03.300 worse?
00:37:05.020 Well,
00:37:06.100 it's hard to
00:37:06.860 be consistent
00:37:07.540 with all of
00:37:09.040 this stuff,
00:37:09.780 so I'm going
00:37:10.200 to try to
00:37:10.660 be consistent,
00:37:11.480 which is,
00:37:12.680 to the extent
00:37:14.540 that anybody
00:37:15.520 in either group
00:37:16.360 is doing
00:37:16.780 something completely
00:37:17.740 legal,
00:37:19.280 I guess
00:37:20.040 free speech,
00:37:21.580 if it's legal,
00:37:22.960 right?
00:37:23.480 I guess I
00:37:24.060 support it.
00:37:25.060 Or I support
00:37:25.640 the right to
00:37:26.120 do it.
00:37:26.620 That's different.
00:37:27.800 But there is
00:37:28.580 something terribly
00:37:29.700 republic-wracking
00:37:31.460 about a
00:37:32.580 going to
00:37:32.960 the homes
00:37:33.400 of the
00:37:33.820 Supreme
00:37:34.100 Court.
00:37:35.280 Somewhat
00:37:35.720 uniquely.
00:37:37.180 Like,
00:37:37.440 way more
00:37:37.840 than going
00:37:38.700 to the
00:37:39.000 home of
00:37:39.300 a
00:37:39.480 politician,
00:37:40.080 which is
00:37:40.380 bad enough.
00:37:41.500 Right?
00:37:41.680 I don't think
00:37:42.080 anybody should
00:37:42.500 be going
00:37:42.760 to anybody's
00:37:43.180 home.
00:37:43.880 That's like
00:37:44.280 way over
00:37:45.260 the line.
00:37:46.700 But for
00:37:47.200 the Supreme
00:37:47.680 Court,
00:37:48.180 it's way
00:37:48.680 worse,
00:37:49.780 in my
00:37:50.160 opinion.
00:37:51.120 Because,
00:37:51.720 as I've
00:37:51.980 often said,
00:37:52.400 the Supreme
00:37:52.840 Court is
00:37:53.320 the one
00:37:54.220 thing we
00:37:54.660 can sort
00:37:55.160 of almost
00:37:55.720 agree on,
00:37:56.500 even though
00:37:56.840 we're not.
00:37:57.280 at least
00:37:59.240 they have
00:37:59.600 the credibility
00:38:00.460 that they
00:38:00.980 show their
00:38:01.460 work.
00:38:03.060 You know,
00:38:03.280 scholars are
00:38:04.240 going to be
00:38:04.840 poring over
00:38:05.420 it.
00:38:05.760 If it's
00:38:06.060 wrong,
00:38:06.760 maybe there
00:38:07.140 will be a
00:38:07.420 chance to
00:38:07.840 change it
00:38:08.260 in the
00:38:08.480 future.
00:38:09.380 So it
00:38:09.780 is our
00:38:10.100 most
00:38:10.400 credible
00:38:10.900 system,
00:38:11.800 even though
00:38:12.200 we're
00:38:12.480 arguing about
00:38:13.240 it at the
00:38:13.600 moment.
00:38:14.700 So if
00:38:15.560 you have
00:38:15.860 people
00:38:16.220 perverting
00:38:18.160 that in
00:38:18.720 any way,
00:38:20.000 that's the
00:38:20.680 most dangerous
00:38:21.580 thing that
00:38:22.020 could happen
00:38:22.380 to our
00:38:22.700 system.
00:38:23.700 So yeah,
00:38:24.120 it's really
00:38:24.400 dangerous.
00:38:25.540 I'm not
00:38:26.000 going to go
00:38:26.340 so far to
00:38:26.840 call it
00:38:27.620 treason.
00:38:29.040 I feel like
00:38:29.720 that's too
00:38:30.100 far.
00:38:30.660 It's just
00:38:31.020 really bad
00:38:31.740 judgment,
00:38:33.000 and it's
00:38:33.420 really bad
00:38:34.040 patriotism.
00:38:35.660 And it's
00:38:36.300 also not
00:38:36.780 the way to
00:38:37.220 win.
00:38:39.900 You know,
00:38:40.640 I don't
00:38:41.180 think it
00:38:41.460 works so
00:38:42.000 well on
00:38:43.000 a group
00:38:43.400 that knows
00:38:44.020 they're going
00:38:44.340 to be doing
00:38:44.760 controversial
00:38:45.200 things.
00:38:46.400 I doubt
00:38:47.200 there are
00:38:47.660 too many
00:38:47.960 cowards in
00:38:48.660 the Supreme
00:38:49.100 Court.
00:38:50.020 Probably
00:38:50.320 not.
00:38:51.520 And
00:38:51.920 they're
00:38:53.660 appointed for
00:38:54.740 life.
00:38:56.580 So,
00:38:57.320 you know,
00:38:57.580 I've got a
00:38:58.020 feeling that
00:38:58.420 they won't
00:38:59.540 be influenced.
00:39:00.600 It's just
00:39:01.040 all bad.
00:39:02.340 It's just
00:39:02.660 all bad.
00:39:03.880 Well,
00:39:04.220 meanwhile,
00:39:04.660 Elizabeth Warren
00:39:05.280 is going
00:39:06.260 ballistic.
00:39:07.020 She's trying
00:39:07.380 to get
00:39:07.640 most of
00:39:07.960 the headlines
00:39:08.360 here.
00:39:09.140 So I
00:39:09.460 think she's
00:39:09.880 realized this
00:39:10.440 could be
00:39:10.740 her moment.
00:39:12.580 Like,
00:39:12.740 Elizabeth Warren
00:39:14.120 has been out
00:39:14.740 of the headlines
00:39:15.380 for a long
00:39:15.880 time,
00:39:16.260 hasn't she?
00:39:17.360 She sort
00:39:18.080 of,
00:39:18.340 you know,
00:39:18.600 will get a
00:39:19.160 quote or
00:39:20.480 something,
00:39:20.900 but she's
00:39:21.240 not really
00:39:22.440 too relevant
00:39:23.080 at the
00:39:23.480 moment.
00:39:23.740 But then
00:39:24.760 this issue
00:39:25.260 comes up
00:39:25.820 and she
00:39:26.340 wants to
00:39:27.320 get on
00:39:27.560 video
00:39:27.900 screaming
00:39:28.480 louder than
00:39:29.260 anybody else
00:39:29.760 is screaming
00:39:30.260 so that it
00:39:31.380 becomes about
00:39:31.980 her and she
00:39:32.820 can harness
00:39:33.520 that energy.
00:39:34.600 Nothing wrong
00:39:35.140 with that,
00:39:35.620 by the way.
00:39:36.100 If I said
00:39:36.640 that like it
00:39:37.060 was a
00:39:37.300 negative,
00:39:38.120 I would have
00:39:38.560 said it as
00:39:39.080 a positive
00:39:39.540 if Trump
00:39:40.220 did it.
00:39:41.460 It's a real
00:39:42.160 good technique
00:39:42.860 to attach
00:39:44.280 yourself to
00:39:44.940 something that
00:39:45.600 already has
00:39:46.200 energy.
00:39:47.600 So she
00:39:48.300 finds something
00:39:48.880 that already
00:39:49.500 has energy,
00:39:51.100 the abortion
00:39:51.560 question,
00:39:51.960 attaches
00:39:52.460 herself to
00:39:53.080 it.
00:39:54.180 And she
00:39:54.860 did it
00:39:55.140 well.
00:39:55.640 So if
00:39:57.020 I'm going
00:39:57.420 to evaluate
00:39:59.180 her on
00:39:59.860 technique,
00:40:01.160 pretty good.
00:40:03.000 Now,
00:40:03.980 I see a lot
00:40:05.120 of you are
00:40:05.400 saying,
00:40:05.640 oh,
00:40:05.780 it's like a
00:40:06.280 John Dean
00:40:06.740 moment where
00:40:07.860 she looks
00:40:08.180 like a
00:40:08.500 crazy person
00:40:09.180 by screaming
00:40:09.820 too much.
00:40:10.700 To which I
00:40:11.500 say,
00:40:12.360 not if you
00:40:13.000 agree with
00:40:13.480 her.
00:40:14.740 She only
00:40:15.360 looks like a
00:40:15.900 crazy person
00:40:16.480 if you
00:40:16.760 disagree with
00:40:17.420 her.
00:40:17.520 If you
00:40:18.260 agree with
00:40:18.740 her,
00:40:18.920 she's the
00:40:19.240 most passionate
00:40:19.860 person and
00:40:21.680 she's going
00:40:22.020 to be fighting
00:40:22.540 on your
00:40:22.880 side and
00:40:23.560 whatever else.
00:40:25.500 So I
00:40:25.800 don't think
00:40:26.120 it was a
00:40:26.440 mistake.
00:40:27.320 I think
00:40:27.540 she probably
00:40:30.220 pulled it
00:40:30.660 off.
00:40:31.660 Yeah,
00:40:31.840 the Howard
00:40:32.180 Dean thing
00:40:32.620 was a
00:40:32.940 mistake,
00:40:33.640 but also
00:40:34.100 because he
00:40:34.760 was male
00:40:35.380 and because
00:40:36.480 there was
00:40:36.740 no topic.
00:40:39.140 Think of
00:40:39.720 the difference.
00:40:41.440 You're
00:40:41.800 allowed to
00:40:42.300 scream as
00:40:42.800 loudly and
00:40:44.080 as crazy
00:40:45.060 as you
00:40:45.440 want if
00:40:46.620 the reason
00:40:47.180 you're
00:40:47.460 shouting
00:40:47.860 deserves
00:40:49.460 it.
00:40:50.700 And she's
00:40:51.240 selling it
00:40:51.820 as it
00:40:52.480 deserves it.
00:40:53.240 So I
00:40:53.580 think she's
00:40:53.980 making the
00:40:54.380 sale.
00:40:54.980 Howard Dean
00:40:55.420 wasn't
00:40:55.720 selling
00:40:56.080 anything.
00:40:56.900 He was
00:40:57.160 just making
00:40:57.820 noise to
00:40:58.320 make noise
00:40:58.840 and it
00:40:59.140 just looked
00:40:59.500 silly.
00:41:00.320 She's
00:41:00.720 selling
00:41:01.060 something
00:41:01.480 that people
00:41:02.100 are buying.
00:41:03.140 That's
00:41:03.400 completely
00:41:03.780 different.
00:41:10.080 So,
00:41:11.420 let's see.
00:41:13.540 Yeah,
00:41:13.760 Jonathan
00:41:14.080 Turley was
00:41:14.700 coming out
00:41:15.100 pretty strongly
00:41:15.680 against
00:41:16.760 these
00:41:18.120 protesting
00:41:18.640 at the
00:41:19.180 justice's
00:41:20.660 house.
00:41:22.540 he does
00:41:26.620 a good
00:41:26.820 job of
00:41:27.200 explaining it.
00:41:28.240 All right,
00:41:28.480 there's
00:41:28.740 two studies
00:41:30.840 here that I
00:41:31.420 think you
00:41:31.780 should be
00:41:32.320 alerted to.
00:41:33.600 So you
00:41:33.840 know we're
00:41:35.480 seeing lots
00:41:35.900 of data
00:41:36.260 recently,
00:41:37.100 so these
00:41:37.500 are not
00:41:37.800 brand new,
00:41:38.440 but in
00:41:38.820 the recent
00:41:39.480 couple of
00:41:40.100 weeks,
00:41:40.960 we've seen
00:41:41.620 a big
00:41:41.920 ivermectin
00:41:42.580 study,
00:41:43.240 we've seen
00:41:43.640 a big
00:41:44.000 study about
00:41:44.700 the
00:41:45.000 vaccinations,
00:41:46.440 Pfizer
00:41:47.120 information,
00:41:48.320 and separately
00:41:48.880 other studies
00:41:49.600 of vaccinations
00:41:50.260 and stuff
00:41:50.720 like that.
00:41:51.580 And there's
00:41:51.920 one thing
00:41:52.280 that we
00:41:52.520 can conclude
00:41:53.160 about all
00:41:53.860 ivermectin
00:41:54.500 studies and
00:41:55.280 all vaccination
00:41:55.960 studies.
00:41:57.080 And what
00:41:57.480 is that?
00:41:59.120 What is it
00:41:59.620 we can
00:42:00.020 conclude,
00:42:00.720 the one
00:42:01.000 thing we
00:42:01.320 know for
00:42:01.620 sure,
00:42:02.940 about
00:42:03.240 vaccinations
00:42:04.200 and ivermectin
00:42:06.160 studies?
00:42:08.520 I'm not
00:42:09.160 talking about
00:42:09.560 the drug,
00:42:10.980 I'm talking
00:42:11.260 about the
00:42:11.640 studies.
00:42:12.180 What do
00:42:12.400 we know
00:42:12.620 about all
00:42:13.060 the studies?
00:42:17.360 Are they
00:42:17.980 crap?
00:42:18.800 No,
00:42:19.100 that's not
00:42:19.420 what we
00:42:19.700 know.
00:42:21.260 That's
00:42:21.700 actually not
00:42:22.220 what we
00:42:22.580 know,
00:42:23.020 believe it
00:42:23.360 or not.
00:42:23.860 So I'm
00:42:24.160 going to
00:42:24.360 fool you
00:42:24.820 because you
00:42:25.500 thought I
00:42:25.920 was going
00:42:26.120 to say
00:42:26.320 all the
00:42:26.580 studies are
00:42:27.100 crap.
00:42:28.680 No,
00:42:29.200 it's worse
00:42:29.620 than that.
00:42:30.600 It's way
00:42:31.140 worse than
00:42:31.540 that.
00:42:32.860 Some of
00:42:33.400 those studies
00:42:33.880 might be
00:42:34.280 right.
00:42:35.980 You don't
00:42:36.600 know which
00:42:36.980 one.
00:42:38.000 That's the
00:42:38.560 problem.
00:42:39.680 The problem
00:42:40.240 is not
00:42:40.640 that 100%
00:42:41.520 of them
00:42:41.880 are crap.
00:42:42.820 The problem
00:42:43.420 is you
00:42:44.240 just can't
00:42:45.020 tell.
00:42:46.160 So here's
00:42:46.780 the one
00:42:47.340 thing we
00:42:47.740 know.
00:42:48.660 The one
00:42:48.980 thing we
00:42:49.280 know is
00:42:49.620 not whether
00:42:50.040 they're all
00:42:50.420 crap.
00:42:51.100 We don't
00:42:51.480 really know
00:42:51.940 that.
00:42:52.960 The one
00:42:53.320 thing we
00:42:53.620 know is
00:42:54.000 that they
00:42:54.280 are Rorschach
00:42:54.920 tests in
00:42:56.100 which everybody
00:42:56.640 will only
00:42:57.140 see what
00:42:57.560 they want
00:42:57.860 to see.
00:42:58.660 We do
00:42:59.020 know that.
00:43:00.300 That's
00:43:00.740 something we
00:43:01.160 know.
00:43:02.020 So the
00:43:02.780 ivermectin
00:43:03.400 study,
00:43:04.480 the people
00:43:05.000 who think
00:43:05.440 ivermectin
00:43:06.000 doesn't work
00:43:06.600 say,
00:43:06.980 well,
00:43:07.100 there it
00:43:07.340 is,
00:43:07.600 the biggest
00:43:08.060 randomized
00:43:08.460 control
00:43:08.980 study says
00:43:09.660 it doesn't
00:43:10.020 work.
00:43:10.900 And then
00:43:11.140 all the
00:43:11.400 people who
00:43:11.740 think it
00:43:12.020 does work
00:43:12.520 say,
00:43:13.300 look at
00:43:14.040 the way
00:43:14.240 they designed
00:43:14.780 it.
00:43:15.220 It was
00:43:15.500 literally
00:43:15.960 designed to
00:43:16.640 fail.
00:43:17.680 And here
00:43:18.080 are our
00:43:18.360 reasons.
00:43:18.900 And then
00:43:19.240 they show
00:43:19.820 their work.
00:43:20.920 And then
00:43:21.120 I say,
00:43:21.820 well,
00:43:23.060 they have
00:43:23.620 an argument.
00:43:24.900 It's not
00:43:25.460 that they
00:43:25.740 don't have
00:43:26.040 an argument.
00:43:26.740 They show
00:43:27.180 their work.
00:43:28.060 Here's their
00:43:28.460 argument.
00:43:29.060 Here's the
00:43:29.420 dose.
00:43:30.320 Here's what
00:43:30.720 would have
00:43:31.020 made sense.
00:43:32.760 Is there a
00:43:33.420 counter-argument
00:43:34.040 to that?
00:43:34.500 I don't
00:43:34.740 know.
00:43:35.760 But that's
00:43:36.280 where I go
00:43:37.040 off the
00:43:37.380 rails.
00:43:38.360 So I
00:43:38.660 end up
00:43:40.760 defaulting to
00:43:42.000 what I
00:43:42.300 thought was
00:43:42.760 true in
00:43:43.260 the first
00:43:43.580 place.
00:43:44.000 So in
00:43:44.240 other words,
00:43:45.280 it's like
00:43:45.640 a Rorschach
00:43:46.180 test.
00:43:46.600 I look at
00:43:46.980 the
00:43:47.100 ivermectin
00:43:47.620 study and
00:43:48.080 I just
00:43:48.340 see what
00:43:48.660 I already
00:43:48.980 thought was
00:43:49.320 true.
00:43:50.240 Whatever
00:43:50.540 that was.
00:43:51.740 Same
00:43:52.020 thing with
00:43:52.360 the vaccination
00:43:53.540 studies.
00:43:54.580 I'm seeing
00:43:55.060 people tweeting
00:43:55.980 all day,
00:43:56.480 well, now
00:43:57.020 there's proof
00:43:57.580 that the
00:43:57.940 vaccinations
00:43:58.400 harmed you.
00:43:59.580 And then
00:43:59.840 people look
00:44:00.280 at the
00:44:00.500 same study
00:44:01.060 and say,
00:44:01.460 well,
00:44:01.800 here's proof
00:44:02.320 that they
00:44:02.660 worked compared
00:44:04.100 to getting
00:44:04.480 COVID.
00:44:04.800 which is
00:44:07.880 true.
00:44:08.420 I don't
00:44:08.720 know.
00:44:09.580 I don't
00:44:10.040 have the
00:44:10.360 skill to
00:44:11.120 know that.
00:44:12.040 And I
00:44:12.240 don't know
00:44:12.540 how I
00:44:12.820 could tell
00:44:13.200 without having
00:44:14.380 the skill
00:44:14.740 myself.
00:44:15.520 I don't
00:44:15.800 know how I
00:44:16.200 could ever
00:44:16.480 know it.
00:44:17.220 The only
00:44:17.640 thing we
00:44:17.940 know for
00:44:18.240 sure is
00:44:18.760 that everybody
00:44:19.120 sees what
00:44:19.560 they want
00:44:19.820 to see in
00:44:20.160 the science.
00:44:22.080 And that
00:44:22.520 feels different.
00:44:23.240 I feel
00:44:25.500 like we've
00:44:25.860 gone to
00:44:26.400 the third
00:44:27.600 layer.
00:44:28.780 So like
00:44:29.120 20 years
00:44:29.920 ago,
00:44:30.980 if the
00:44:31.380 science
00:44:31.700 journals
00:44:32.160 said it
00:44:32.600 was true
00:44:33.040 and the
00:44:33.460 scientists
00:44:33.740 said it
00:44:34.080 was true,
00:44:34.920 we mostly
00:44:35.640 thought it
00:44:36.020 was true.
00:44:37.700 And then
00:44:38.240 it got to
00:44:38.600 the point
00:44:38.900 of, oh,
00:44:39.900 wait a
00:44:40.140 minute,
00:44:40.900 some of
00:44:41.360 these studies
00:44:41.880 are bogus,
00:44:43.060 actually way
00:44:43.660 too many,
00:44:44.100 maybe half
00:44:44.660 of them
00:44:44.980 that got
00:44:45.920 published
00:44:46.400 shouldn't
00:44:46.880 have been
00:44:47.140 published,
00:44:47.740 or they're
00:44:48.040 not repeatable,
00:44:49.020 or they can't
00:44:49.460 be reproduced.
00:44:50.940 So then we
00:44:51.720 went from,
00:44:52.260 oh, science
00:44:52.860 is good
00:44:53.260 to, whoa,
00:44:54.740 I guess we
00:44:55.360 over-trusted
00:44:56.160 science.
00:44:57.540 So we've
00:44:58.520 got to be
00:44:58.780 careful.
00:44:59.840 Science might
00:45:00.400 be right
00:45:00.720 half the
00:45:01.200 time, but
00:45:02.360 if you do
00:45:02.740 your own
00:45:03.060 research,
00:45:04.320 you can
00:45:05.000 figure out
00:45:05.420 which time
00:45:05.800 they're
00:45:05.980 right.
00:45:07.380 Because
00:45:07.660 humans,
00:45:08.420 non-scientists
00:45:09.300 can do
00:45:09.640 that.
00:45:09.880 That's
00:45:10.020 what we
00:45:10.320 thought.
00:45:12.720 We used
00:45:13.440 to believe
00:45:13.960 that we
00:45:14.380 could do
00:45:14.680 a deep
00:45:15.020 dive and
00:45:16.200 we could
00:45:16.500 figure out
00:45:17.120 which of
00:45:17.580 the scientific
00:45:18.200 studies were
00:45:19.100 the good
00:45:19.400 ones.
00:45:20.620 Now what
00:45:21.140 do you
00:45:21.320 think?
00:45:21.620 I think
00:45:22.920 we've
00:45:23.120 gone to
00:45:23.440 the next
00:45:23.760 level of
00:45:24.280 awareness.
00:45:25.420 The next
00:45:26.080 level of
00:45:26.540 awareness is
00:45:27.240 you can't
00:45:28.620 tell which
00:45:29.000 ones are
00:45:29.400 real,
00:45:30.360 you don't
00:45:31.060 know who's
00:45:31.520 lying,
00:45:31.920 but you do
00:45:33.940 know you're
00:45:34.660 going to see
00:45:35.060 what you
00:45:35.400 expected to
00:45:36.180 see.
00:45:38.140 That,
00:45:39.380 ladies and
00:45:40.020 gentlemen,
00:45:41.020 is the
00:45:42.140 golden age.
00:45:44.480 Welcome.
00:45:45.040 it's
00:45:47.080 about time.
00:45:48.660 It took
00:45:49.080 you a little
00:45:49.380 while to
00:45:49.740 get here.
00:45:51.380 You had
00:45:51.760 to take
00:45:52.040 the long
00:45:52.400 way,
00:45:52.660 didn't
00:45:52.760 you?
00:45:56.000 Some of
00:45:56.560 you are
00:45:56.800 having an
00:45:57.200 experience
00:45:57.660 right now.
00:45:58.740 Not all
00:45:59.260 of you,
00:45:59.620 some of
00:46:00.000 you.
00:46:00.700 And you're
00:46:01.260 realizing that
00:46:01.820 you actually
00:46:02.240 took that
00:46:02.740 path.
00:46:03.780 You went
00:46:04.080 from science
00:46:04.740 probably
00:46:05.080 right,
00:46:05.880 to science
00:46:06.500 you've
00:46:07.040 got to
00:46:07.220 really be
00:46:07.820 careful,
00:46:08.380 but if
00:46:08.620 you do
00:46:08.840 your own
00:46:09.160 research,
00:46:10.220 you can
00:46:10.660 work it
00:46:10.980 out,
00:46:11.620 to you
00:46:12.080 can do
00:46:12.420 your own
00:46:12.700 research.
00:46:13.640 That's
00:46:13.920 not a
00:46:14.180 thing.
00:46:14.880 You're
00:46:15.140 just going
00:46:15.400 to see
00:46:15.620 exactly
00:46:16.100 what you
00:46:16.480 wanted to
00:46:16.900 see,
00:46:17.540 but now
00:46:18.220 you know
00:46:18.580 it.
00:46:19.620 Now when
00:46:20.240 you see
00:46:20.580 what you
00:46:20.960 wanted to
00:46:21.540 see,
00:46:22.840 you'll know
00:46:23.640 it's not
00:46:24.080 necessarily
00:46:24.880 real.
00:46:26.460 You'll
00:46:26.780 just know
00:46:27.120 you see
00:46:27.440 it.
00:46:28.680 You can
00:46:29.260 look at
00:46:29.480 these studies
00:46:29.940 now and
00:46:30.360 say,
00:46:30.700 okay,
00:46:30.920 I see
00:46:31.240 clearly,
00:46:32.360 clear as
00:46:32.920 day,
00:46:34.600 yes or
00:46:35.680 no,
00:46:36.300 doesn't
00:46:36.560 matter what
00:46:36.940 you see,
00:46:37.380 but I
00:46:37.580 see it
00:46:37.800 clear as
00:46:38.140 day,
00:46:38.740 and now,
00:46:39.700 for the
00:46:40.000 first time,
00:46:41.540 for the
00:46:42.100 first time,
00:46:43.100 you can
00:46:44.120 step outside
00:46:44.900 of your
00:46:45.240 own
00:46:45.440 perception,
00:46:46.600 and you
00:46:46.780 can say,
00:46:47.220 you know,
00:46:47.980 that looks
00:46:48.420 exactly like
00:46:49.200 that study
00:46:49.700 is saying
00:46:50.060 something,
00:46:51.220 but I
00:46:51.660 don't know.
00:46:52.740 I really
00:46:53.220 don't know.
00:46:54.140 I really,
00:46:54.860 really don't
00:46:55.300 know.
00:46:58.300 That is
00:47:00.880 where you
00:47:01.260 needed to
00:47:01.720 be.
00:47:03.640 So if you
00:47:04.400 weren't there
00:47:04.760 until today,
00:47:05.920 welcome.
00:47:06.440 and it's
00:47:09.700 going to be
00:47:09.980 a big
00:47:10.240 deal.
00:47:10.940 You just
00:47:11.220 wait and
00:47:11.580 see.
00:47:13.160 I saw
00:47:13.760 a little
00:47:14.080 bit by
00:47:14.760 Pete
00:47:15.060 Buttigieg
00:47:15.580 being
00:47:16.000 quite
00:47:17.220 persuasive,
00:47:18.660 and here's
00:47:19.540 how he was
00:47:20.000 framing the,
00:47:21.140 I guess,
00:47:21.780 the culture
00:47:22.180 war situation,
00:47:23.940 the Disney
00:47:24.440 situation,
00:47:25.480 the Dose
00:47:25.960 Gay stuff,
00:47:27.400 and the way
00:47:28.000 he says it
00:47:28.480 is that the
00:47:29.020 Republicans have
00:47:30.520 no answers
00:47:31.240 for the big
00:47:32.780 problems,
00:47:33.260 and then
00:47:33.940 he lists a
00:47:34.460 bunch of
00:47:34.720 things.
00:47:35.040 He said
00:47:35.320 they have
00:47:36.240 no answer
00:47:36.760 for child
00:47:37.360 care costs
00:47:38.800 and they
00:47:39.180 have no
00:47:39.460 answer for
00:47:40.160 the deficit
00:47:42.160 and taxes.
00:47:43.340 He gives
00:47:43.680 a bunch of
00:47:44.200 things that
00:47:44.660 the Republicans
00:47:46.080 have no
00:47:46.580 answers for,
00:47:47.620 to which I
00:47:48.160 say,
00:47:49.200 actually,
00:47:49.640 those were
00:47:49.940 pretty good
00:47:50.360 examples.
00:47:51.680 They really
00:47:52.140 don't have
00:47:52.540 an answer
00:47:52.840 for health
00:47:53.200 care.
00:47:53.540 That's true.
00:47:54.140 I say the
00:47:54.600 same thing.
00:47:55.760 But he
00:47:56.280 conveniently
00:47:56.880 left out
00:47:57.680 all the
00:47:58.740 things that
00:47:59.160 they do
00:47:59.420 have answers
00:47:59.900 for,
00:48:00.720 because you
00:48:02.000 know this
00:48:02.360 surge in
00:48:03.940 crime.
00:48:06.360 Talk to
00:48:06.960 a Republican.
00:48:08.500 Talk to
00:48:09.040 a Republican.
00:48:09.800 They actually
00:48:10.340 have answers
00:48:11.020 to that.
00:48:12.820 They're
00:48:13.260 actually things
00:48:13.980 you can do
00:48:14.620 to reduce
00:48:15.860 crime.
00:48:17.120 It's well
00:48:17.700 understood.
00:48:19.280 Talk to
00:48:19.640 a Republican.
00:48:21.180 How about
00:48:21.560 the border?
00:48:22.740 Do you
00:48:22.980 think the
00:48:23.300 Republicans
00:48:23.680 have any
00:48:24.220 solutions for
00:48:24.980 the border?
00:48:25.840 Yes,
00:48:26.160 they do.
00:48:26.940 Yes,
00:48:27.240 they do.
00:48:27.780 You might
00:48:28.220 not like
00:48:28.660 them.
00:48:29.540 It would
00:48:29.940 be reasonable
00:48:30.480 to say you
00:48:31.600 don't like
00:48:32.040 them.
00:48:32.740 But to
00:48:33.060 say that
00:48:33.420 they don't
00:48:33.740 have a
00:48:34.000 solution
00:48:34.300 that has
00:48:34.740 worked in
00:48:35.120 the past
00:48:35.560 would not
00:48:36.200 be true.
00:48:37.600 So I'm
00:48:39.140 going to
00:48:39.300 give Buttigieg
00:48:39.920 an A
00:48:40.560 plus for
00:48:41.540 persuasion.
00:48:44.020 But of
00:48:44.600 course,
00:48:45.740 I see what
00:48:46.620 I want to
00:48:47.020 see in
00:48:47.300 Pete Buttigieg.
00:48:49.100 And the
00:48:49.940 people who
00:48:50.320 like him
00:48:50.660 are going
00:48:50.880 to see
00:48:51.160 what they
00:48:51.540 want to
00:48:51.820 see.
00:48:52.660 So does
00:48:53.200 it matter
00:48:53.640 that what
00:48:55.520 he says
00:48:55.900 makes sense
00:48:56.460 or doesn't
00:48:56.840 make sense
00:48:57.280 or he
00:48:57.540 leaves
00:48:57.720 something
00:48:58.000 out?
00:48:58.720 No,
00:48:59.340 not really.
00:49:00.340 It doesn't
00:49:00.820 matter.
00:49:01.100 It only
00:49:01.260 matters if it
00:49:01.880 was persuasive
00:49:02.620 to the
00:49:02.960 people he
00:49:03.300 wanted to
00:49:03.720 persuade.
00:49:04.580 And he's
00:49:04.900 pretty good
00:49:05.260 at it.
00:49:06.260 So his
00:49:07.220 take is that
00:49:08.880 the Republicans
00:49:09.500 are creating
00:49:10.160 these fake
00:49:10.740 targets and
00:49:11.740 demonizing people
00:49:12.720 like the
00:49:13.040 trans community
00:49:13.760 because they
00:49:14.780 don't have any
00:49:15.260 real arguments.
00:49:15.880 arguments.
00:49:17.280 And I thought
00:49:17.760 to myself,
00:49:18.300 okay, it's
00:49:19.820 not true
00:49:20.420 because he's
00:49:22.140 selectively
00:49:23.100 picking the
00:49:23.680 things that
00:49:24.200 they don't
00:49:24.700 have arguments
00:49:25.220 for.
00:49:25.540 I'll give
00:49:25.760 him that.
00:49:26.520 But he's
00:49:26.880 really good
00:49:27.280 at it.
00:49:28.640 He's pretty
00:49:29.220 good at it.
00:49:30.500 I do
00:49:31.280 think he
00:49:32.080 could be
00:49:32.440 president.
00:49:34.420 I'm not
00:49:35.060 endorsing him.
00:49:36.800 Don't worry.
00:49:37.500 Don't worry.
00:49:37.980 I'm not
00:49:38.260 endorsing him.
00:49:39.340 I'm just
00:49:39.760 saying that he
00:49:41.340 needs to be
00:49:42.060 seasoned.
00:49:43.040 He's not
00:49:43.440 ready.
00:49:43.760 I would
00:49:44.980 say he
00:49:45.360 shouldn't be
00:49:45.880 president now.
00:49:48.060 He's just
00:49:48.680 not there.
00:49:49.800 But he has
00:49:50.480 the ability,
00:49:51.600 he has the
00:49:51.960 natural ability
00:49:52.780 to figure out
00:49:54.160 what it is
00:49:54.660 he's not
00:49:55.020 doing right
00:49:55.620 yet and
00:49:56.620 then get
00:49:57.440 there.
00:49:58.760 I think he
00:49:59.400 can Obama
00:50:00.220 his way to
00:50:01.360 the next
00:50:01.720 level.
00:50:02.960 Now, don't
00:50:03.920 be angry at
00:50:04.460 me.
00:50:04.780 I'm not
00:50:05.560 suggesting he
00:50:06.580 should or
00:50:06.880 should not
00:50:07.220 be president.
00:50:07.980 I'm just
00:50:08.380 saying that
00:50:08.780 his skill
00:50:10.440 level is
00:50:11.940 higher than
00:50:12.460 most of the
00:50:13.000 people on
00:50:13.380 the left.
00:50:13.760 left and
00:50:14.600 he only
00:50:14.940 has to be
00:50:15.360 the best
00:50:15.720 one on
00:50:16.080 the left.
00:50:16.780 Am I
00:50:16.980 right?
00:50:18.200 Wait.
00:50:19.240 That sounded
00:50:19.540 confusing.
00:50:20.820 He only
00:50:21.520 needs to be
00:50:22.140 the best
00:50:22.600 one on
00:50:23.200 the left
00:50:23.700 because that's
00:50:25.700 all it
00:50:25.920 takes to
00:50:26.220 be president.
00:50:29.220 Unless he's
00:50:29.920 running against
00:50:30.480 a power like
00:50:34.020 Trump or
00:50:34.600 something like
00:50:35.020 that.
00:50:35.600 But that's
00:50:36.060 all it would
00:50:36.320 take.
00:50:36.560 You only
00:50:36.800 have to be
00:50:37.200 better than
00:50:37.640 the left.
00:50:38.540 You could
00:50:39.180 argue that
00:50:39.720 that bar
00:50:40.140 is low
00:50:40.600 because their
00:50:41.420 bench isn't
00:50:41.940 very good.
00:50:42.420 And I
00:50:43.720 don't think
00:50:44.160 that that's
00:50:44.620 partisan to
00:50:45.320 say that
00:50:45.780 the Republicans
00:50:46.960 have a
00:50:47.520 better bench.
00:50:49.520 Do you
00:50:49.820 feel that
00:50:50.140 that is
00:50:50.420 subjectively
00:50:51.100 is that
00:50:52.020 too subjective?
00:50:54.400 If you
00:50:54.980 just feel I
00:50:55.600 think both
00:50:56.360 sides say
00:50:56.860 that right?
00:50:58.240 Because you
00:50:58.820 can go I
00:50:59.820 think you
00:51:00.180 can go three
00:51:00.900 or four
00:51:01.300 deep on
00:51:02.420 the Republican
00:51:02.960 side and
00:51:03.540 still have a
00:51:03.980 good candidate
00:51:04.600 but on the
00:51:06.180 left it's a
00:51:06.720 little bit
00:51:06.940 harder because
00:51:08.200 Kamala and
00:51:08.860 Biden are
00:51:09.420 not so
00:51:11.140 strong.
00:51:12.760 All right.
00:51:15.320 China wants
00:51:16.080 to increase
00:51:18.220 its military
00:51:18.920 presence abroad.
00:51:20.840 Nothing to
00:51:21.480 worry about
00:51:21.880 there.
00:51:23.080 Oh my
00:51:23.600 God.
00:51:25.060 What would
00:51:25.680 happen if
00:51:26.100 China ended
00:51:26.740 up with
00:51:27.060 military bases
00:51:27.960 everywhere that
00:51:28.880 they have
00:51:29.200 economic
00:51:29.720 interests and
00:51:31.080 more influence
00:51:31.940 than the
00:51:32.240 United States
00:51:32.860 because it
00:51:33.220 would take
00:51:33.540 that to
00:51:34.280 happen?
00:51:35.480 I don't
00:51:35.780 know.
00:51:36.960 It's pretty
00:51:37.680 scary stuff.
00:51:39.420 It does
00:51:41.660 seem that
00:51:42.200 demographic
00:51:43.100 wise and
00:51:43.940 just number
00:51:44.720 wise eventually
00:51:45.900 we live in
00:51:47.660 the Chinese
00:51:48.100 world, right?
00:51:49.420 Because there
00:51:50.000 are just so
00:51:50.340 many of them
00:51:51.940 and if they
00:51:52.380 spread out and
00:51:53.140 spread their
00:51:53.580 influence,
00:51:54.700 spread their
00:51:55.440 money and
00:51:56.900 continue succeeding
00:51:58.020 as they have,
00:51:59.640 I don't know
00:52:00.860 how we don't
00:52:01.400 live in a
00:52:01.940 China dominated
00:52:02.780 world eventually.
00:52:04.560 I mean 300
00:52:05.560 years from now
00:52:06.280 but not right
00:52:07.940 away.
00:52:09.420 All right.
00:52:12.140 The most
00:52:13.540 interesting story
00:52:14.360 of the day,
00:52:14.940 I don't know
00:52:15.420 why I waited
00:52:15.780 so long for
00:52:16.300 that,
00:52:16.980 is that
00:52:17.580 there's a
00:52:18.360 new book
00:52:18.660 out by
00:52:19.540 Espers.
00:52:20.720 It was
00:52:20.920 Espers.
00:52:21.860 He had been
00:52:23.100 in the Trump
00:52:23.600 administration
00:52:24.100 and said that
00:52:24.740 he was
00:52:25.160 Secretary of
00:52:25.760 Defense,
00:52:26.160 right?
00:52:26.900 And he
00:52:28.060 reports in
00:52:28.560 his new
00:52:28.860 book that
00:52:29.600 Trump had
00:52:29.980 asked him
00:52:30.400 about sending
00:52:31.900 some Patriot
00:52:32.580 missiles in
00:52:33.140 to destroy
00:52:33.820 the drug
00:52:37.620 making
00:52:38.000 operations in
00:52:39.460 Mexico.
00:52:40.980 And the
00:52:41.780 news treated
00:52:42.400 it like that
00:52:43.480 was such a
00:52:43.980 crazy thing.
00:52:46.200 Now, can I
00:52:47.820 ask you a
00:52:48.300 question?
00:52:49.420 Those of you
00:52:50.000 who have
00:52:50.200 watched me for
00:52:51.280 a while and
00:52:51.860 also watched
00:52:52.600 the news in
00:52:53.820 general for a
00:52:54.340 while.
00:52:55.940 Before you
00:52:56.720 read about
00:52:57.180 this, was
00:52:59.000 there anybody
00:52:59.640 else in the
00:53:00.320 public, besides
00:53:02.160 me, who
00:53:03.800 was saying,
00:53:04.500 let's drone
00:53:05.660 the fentanyl
00:53:07.020 labs in
00:53:09.120 Mexico?
00:53:12.140 Was I the
00:53:12.940 only one
00:53:13.400 saying that
00:53:13.860 in public?
00:53:15.400 I think I
00:53:16.140 said it a
00:53:16.580 lot, but I
00:53:18.060 don't remember
00:53:18.500 seeing anybody
00:53:19.320 else say it.
00:53:20.680 Do you have
00:53:21.080 any memory of
00:53:21.680 anybody saying
00:53:22.300 it before I
00:53:22.820 said it?
00:53:24.620 Anybody in
00:53:25.200 the public
00:53:25.640 eye?
00:53:29.420 Huh.
00:53:30.320 But name
00:53:32.220 a name if
00:53:32.760 you can think
00:53:33.200 of anybody,
00:53:34.140 because I
00:53:34.420 want to give
00:53:34.820 credit where
00:53:36.320 credit would
00:53:36.920 be due.
00:53:40.400 Well, okay.
00:53:41.440 So it's
00:53:41.800 blowing my
00:53:42.340 mind a little
00:53:42.880 bit, because
00:53:43.520 as of today,
00:53:44.940 now that
00:53:45.440 Trump said
00:53:46.260 that, or
00:53:47.300 reportedly said
00:53:48.400 it, you
00:53:48.720 have to take
00:53:49.380 it with a
00:53:49.640 grain of
00:53:49.960 salt, and
00:53:51.260 I think it
00:53:51.660 was phrased
00:53:53.200 as a
00:53:53.520 question.
00:53:55.200 My
00:53:55.440 understanding
00:53:55.920 was not
00:53:56.340 that he
00:53:56.620 ordered him
00:53:57.160 to do it
00:53:57.720 or said,
00:53:58.540 you must do
00:53:59.060 this.
00:53:59.380 my
00:54:00.080 understanding,
00:54:00.660 he said,
00:54:01.200 would it
00:54:01.840 be feasible,
00:54:03.180 essential?
00:54:04.580 And then
00:54:04.940 Esper said
00:54:05.480 no, and
00:54:06.540 then it
00:54:06.820 didn't
00:54:07.000 happen.
00:54:09.220 Okay.
00:54:10.380 I'm not
00:54:10.960 sure that
00:54:11.300 that's a,
00:54:12.820 there's
00:54:13.400 something
00:54:13.620 missing in
00:54:14.100 the story,
00:54:14.560 isn't there?
00:54:15.480 The part
00:54:15.900 that's missing
00:54:16.360 in the story
00:54:16.880 is, why
00:54:18.120 isn't it a
00:54:18.580 good idea?
00:54:19.580 Because I
00:54:20.080 don't think
00:54:20.420 that's even
00:54:20.920 been mentioned.
00:54:22.340 And
00:54:22.660 obviously
00:54:23.500 there are
00:54:23.880 risks.
00:54:25.440 You know,
00:54:25.700 obviously we
00:54:26.360 know the
00:54:26.660 whole situation,
00:54:27.620 what is likely
00:54:28.380 to happen,
00:54:28.860 but I've
00:54:29.760 never heard
00:54:30.120 anybody explain
00:54:30.840 the risks.
00:54:32.260 Because to
00:54:32.880 me it
00:54:33.120 doesn't seem
00:54:33.600 like if
00:54:34.440 Mexico is
00:54:35.720 owned by
00:54:36.180 the cartels
00:54:36.920 and you
00:54:38.640 bomb the
00:54:39.100 cartels,
00:54:40.860 I just
00:54:43.140 can't see a
00:54:43.820 moral,
00:54:44.400 legal,
00:54:45.000 or even
00:54:45.940 the homeland
00:54:46.360 security risk
00:54:47.240 in doing
00:54:47.560 that.
00:54:48.220 It just
00:54:48.580 seems like
00:54:49.020 we would
00:54:49.400 show them
00:54:51.200 that having
00:54:51.680 an industry
00:54:52.240 that kills
00:54:52.680 50,000
00:54:53.380 Americans per
00:54:54.600 year is
00:54:55.620 going to get
00:54:56.020 you fucking
00:54:56.420 killed.
00:54:57.680 It would
00:54:58.100 just send
00:54:58.400 a message.
00:54:59.700 Yeah,
00:55:00.220 you can
00:55:01.360 keep sending
00:55:01.960 fentanyl to
00:55:02.620 the United
00:55:02.960 States and
00:55:03.520 kill 50,000
00:55:04.360 Americans.
00:55:05.640 Yeah,
00:55:05.860 and I know
00:55:06.280 it's the
00:55:06.580 addicts'
00:55:07.040 fault.
00:55:07.300 You don't
00:55:07.500 have to
00:55:07.740 make that
00:55:08.080 argument.
00:55:08.500 I get
00:55:08.780 it,
00:55:08.940 I get
00:55:09.200 it.
00:55:09.660 The
00:55:09.900 addicts
00:55:10.280 are the
00:55:10.440 ones
00:55:10.600 that take
00:55:10.880 the drugs.
00:55:11.360 I get
00:55:11.640 it.
00:55:13.540 But that
00:55:14.640 doesn't make
00:55:15.060 them innocent,
00:55:16.320 does it?
00:55:18.000 They're not
00:55:18.640 more innocent
00:55:19.320 because somebody
00:55:20.580 else should have
00:55:21.200 done something
00:55:21.660 different.
00:55:22.960 So I
00:55:25.280 think a lot
00:55:26.000 of people,
00:55:26.540 at least on
00:55:27.000 Twitter,
00:55:27.720 are saying,
00:55:28.400 why don't
00:55:29.640 we take
00:55:30.800 out the
00:55:31.380 fentanyl
00:55:32.340 labs?
00:55:33.620 Why don't
00:55:34.200 we?
00:55:35.280 Now,
00:55:36.920 the first
00:55:37.460 thing you're
00:55:37.860 going to say
00:55:38.100 to yourself
00:55:38.460 is that what
00:55:39.060 difference would
00:55:39.580 it make?
00:55:40.340 Because it
00:55:40.840 would only
00:55:41.080 take them a
00:55:41.640 week to
00:55:42.040 spin up a
00:55:42.540 new lab.
00:55:44.060 Right?
00:55:45.100 And you'd
00:55:45.600 be right.
00:55:47.180 Do you
00:55:47.460 know what
00:55:47.700 also doesn't
00:55:48.420 stop murder?
00:55:50.080 Putting people
00:55:50.800 in jail.
00:55:52.040 It doesn't
00:55:52.940 stop crime.
00:55:54.340 So why
00:55:54.740 do we have
00:55:55.060 jails?
00:55:56.080 What's the
00:55:56.460 point of a
00:55:56.840 jail if it
00:55:57.960 doesn't stop
00:55:58.480 crime?
00:56:00.180 Maybe slows
00:56:01.120 it down a
00:56:01.620 little bit,
00:56:02.400 but it
00:56:02.640 doesn't really
00:56:02.900 stop it,
00:56:03.460 right?
00:56:04.380 So our
00:56:05.900 entire system
00:56:06.760 depends on
00:56:07.720 punishing
00:56:08.500 people that
00:56:09.400 don't completely
00:56:10.240 stop what
00:56:10.800 they're doing.
00:56:12.520 So you
00:56:13.140 don't not
00:56:13.620 do it
00:56:14.120 because it's
00:56:15.400 not 100%
00:56:16.160 fixed.
00:56:16.800 Nothing
00:56:17.020 works that
00:56:17.500 way.
00:56:18.100 You do
00:56:18.540 it to
00:56:19.060 create friction,
00:56:20.880 to make
00:56:21.220 it harder
00:56:21.720 to do
00:56:22.080 it.
00:56:22.960 And then
00:56:23.400 you just
00:56:23.740 keep squeezing.
00:56:25.540 And
00:56:25.720 bombing,
00:56:26.620 you know,
00:56:26.900 literally
00:56:27.340 bombing the
00:56:28.480 labs would
00:56:29.400 only be one
00:56:29.960 thing.
00:56:30.380 It's not the
00:56:30.800 one thing
00:56:31.260 you do.
00:56:32.360 You know,
00:56:32.520 it's just
00:56:32.820 other things
00:56:33.800 you do.
00:56:34.980 So if you
00:56:35.720 just keep
00:56:36.100 squeezing in
00:56:36.760 every possible
00:56:37.400 way you can
00:56:37.880 squeeze,
00:56:38.340 well,
00:56:38.580 maybe you
00:56:38.960 can reach
00:56:39.280 the point
00:56:39.640 where there's
00:56:41.280 less fentanyl
00:56:42.200 coming out.
00:56:43.460 But I
00:56:43.820 wouldn't look
00:56:44.180 at it as,
00:56:44.700 you know,
00:56:44.860 one act.
00:56:46.200 Does that
00:56:46.660 completely solve
00:56:47.420 the problem
00:56:47.820 or not?
00:56:48.580 No.
00:56:49.480 No.
00:56:49.900 It doesn't
00:56:50.300 work like
00:56:50.640 that.
00:56:51.320 You would
00:56:51.640 just put
00:56:52.000 pressure
00:56:52.500 everywhere you
00:56:53.200 could put
00:56:53.500 pressure.
00:56:54.440 And if it
00:56:54.940 were me,
00:56:55.300 I would
00:56:55.540 make those
00:56:55.940 labs explode
00:56:56.800 if we
00:56:57.660 knew where
00:56:58.120 they were.
00:56:59.940 And then
00:57:00.280 somebody says,
00:57:00.900 well,
00:57:01.060 what about
00:57:01.380 the civilian
00:57:02.000 deaths?
00:57:03.240 To which I
00:57:04.000 say,
00:57:04.380 civilians at
00:57:05.340 a fentanyl
00:57:06.060 lab?
00:57:07.580 Are those
00:57:08.000 the deaths
00:57:08.400 you're worried
00:57:08.780 about?
00:57:09.020 If somebody
00:57:10.880 takes their
00:57:11.320 children to
00:57:11.900 work at
00:57:12.380 the fentanyl
00:57:13.220 lab,
00:57:13.980 I'm not
00:57:16.880 going to
00:57:17.060 call that
00:57:17.360 my problem.
00:57:19.240 I'm definitely
00:57:19.720 not going to
00:57:20.120 call that
00:57:20.440 my problem.
00:57:21.280 I mean,
00:57:21.520 that would
00:57:21.780 be tragic.
00:57:23.300 But it's
00:57:23.740 also,
00:57:24.520 it's adult
00:57:25.600 business.
00:57:27.820 Everything
00:57:28.320 about this
00:57:28.980 are adult
00:57:29.740 decisions.
00:57:30.800 If you
00:57:31.180 can't handle
00:57:31.680 an adult
00:57:32.260 decision,
00:57:33.300 then don't
00:57:33.780 be part of
00:57:34.180 the conversation.
00:57:35.640 And adult
00:57:36.060 decision does
00:57:36.760 mean killing
00:57:37.240 people.
00:57:38.400 Accidentally,
00:57:39.200 intentionally,
00:57:40.320 no way around
00:57:41.600 it.
00:57:41.780 So,
00:57:43.620 yeah,
00:57:45.140 I would
00:57:45.460 take out
00:57:45.820 the fentanyl
00:57:46.320 labs.
00:57:46.620 If there's
00:57:46.940 a way to
00:57:47.340 find them
00:57:47.800 and know
00:57:48.260 for sure
00:57:48.640 that they're
00:57:49.040 fentanyl
00:57:49.680 labs,
00:57:50.140 I would
00:57:50.520 make them
00:57:50.860 all explode.
00:57:52.900 Definitely.
00:57:54.140 But it's
00:57:54.580 just not the
00:57:55.040 only thing
00:57:55.380 I would
00:57:55.560 do.
00:57:57.400 All right.
00:57:58.460 Let me
00:57:58.860 ask you
00:57:59.160 this.
00:58:01.380 In the
00:58:01.980 comments,
00:58:03.320 would you
00:58:05.360 agree with
00:58:06.100 taking out
00:58:06.820 the fentanyl
00:58:07.780 labs in
00:58:08.540 Mexico?
00:58:09.820 Not
00:58:10.100 necessarily
00:58:10.720 with a
00:58:11.760 specific
00:58:12.320 Patriot
00:58:12.800 missile.
00:58:13.560 Could be
00:58:13.920 drones,
00:58:14.720 could be
00:58:15.060 special
00:58:15.500 operations,
00:58:16.400 whatever works.
00:58:17.500 I don't
00:58:17.680 know.
00:58:18.340 I'm no
00:58:18.680 expert.
00:58:19.780 So,
00:58:20.220 on the
00:58:20.520 locals
00:58:20.780 platform,
00:58:22.080 90%
00:58:23.520 yeses.
00:58:25.160 On
00:58:25.540 YouTube,
00:58:27.860 so far
00:58:28.440 all yeses.
00:58:31.600 Yeah.
00:58:33.280 Now,
00:58:33.560 isn't that
00:58:33.860 interesting?
00:58:35.200 Now,
00:58:36.200 of course,
00:58:36.600 you're
00:58:37.880 probably
00:58:38.320 right-leaning
00:58:39.540 audience,
00:58:40.100 for the
00:58:41.360 most part.
00:58:42.200 So,
00:58:42.400 that's not
00:58:42.700 too surprising.
00:58:44.060 But the
00:58:44.520 way the
00:58:44.860 news treats
00:58:45.440 it is as
00:58:46.680 if you
00:58:47.420 don't even
00:58:47.940 have to
00:58:48.420 debate how
00:58:49.000 crazy it
00:58:49.560 is.
00:58:50.560 To which I
00:58:51.280 would only
00:58:51.600 add this
00:58:51.980 one thing.
00:58:52.780 No,
00:58:53.000 you do need
00:58:53.520 to fucking
00:58:53.940 debate how
00:58:54.540 crazy that
00:58:55.100 is.
00:58:55.480 You do
00:58:55.800 need to.
00:58:56.660 You don't
00:58:57.240 get to say
00:58:57.740 it's crazy
00:58:58.240 and walk
00:58:58.640 away.
00:58:59.440 No,
00:58:59.700 fuck you
00:59:00.160 if you're
00:59:00.500 doing that.
00:59:00.900 You don't
00:59:01.220 get to say
00:59:01.620 it's crazy
00:59:02.020 and walk
00:59:02.360 away.
00:59:02.840 You better
00:59:03.260 stay.
00:59:04.420 You're going
00:59:04.740 to need to
00:59:05.100 tell me why
00:59:05.600 this isn't a
00:59:06.200 good idea.
00:59:06.700 It might not
00:59:07.160 be.
00:59:08.100 By the
00:59:08.440 way,
00:59:08.660 I could
00:59:08.920 easily be
00:59:09.540 convinced.
00:59:10.500 It wouldn't
00:59:10.840 take much
00:59:11.220 to convince
00:59:11.680 me.
00:59:12.420 Just somebody
00:59:12.940 who knows
00:59:13.240 what they're
00:59:13.520 talking about,
00:59:14.720 laying out the
00:59:15.320 reasons and
00:59:15.900 the risks,
00:59:16.960 and then I'd
00:59:17.540 say,
00:59:17.840 oh,
00:59:18.160 this risk
00:59:18.640 looks bigger
00:59:19.180 than the
00:59:19.520 benefit.
00:59:20.460 Don't do
00:59:20.900 it.
00:59:21.840 But if
00:59:22.220 you're not
00:59:22.560 even going
00:59:23.020 to engage
00:59:23.720 in the
00:59:24.000 conversation,
00:59:25.920 well,
00:59:26.300 I'm not
00:59:26.560 going to
00:59:26.720 take you
00:59:27.080 seriously.
00:59:28.260 I'm going
00:59:28.600 to take
00:59:28.840 seriously
00:59:29.280 the person
00:59:29.740 who asked
00:59:30.080 the question,
00:59:31.620 would it
00:59:32.060 work if
00:59:32.920 we missile
00:59:34.840 attack the
00:59:35.500 labs?
00:59:37.160 That was
00:59:38.080 the right
00:59:38.440 question.
00:59:39.720 Even if
00:59:40.420 the answer
00:59:40.760 was hell
00:59:41.400 no,
00:59:42.400 because of
00:59:43.020 X,
00:59:43.300 Y,
00:59:43.500 and Z,
00:59:44.260 it was
00:59:44.620 still the
00:59:45.140 right
00:59:45.480 fucking
00:59:45.960 question.
00:59:47.500 And boy,
00:59:47.900 do I
00:59:48.140 respect Trump
00:59:48.940 for asking
00:59:49.500 it.
00:59:51.620 Now,
00:59:52.140 he couldn't
00:59:52.460 get enough
00:59:52.920 support to
00:59:53.880 do it,
00:59:54.860 and I think
00:59:55.360 he would
00:59:55.600 need the
00:59:55.980 support of
00:59:56.400 his top
00:59:57.400 people,
00:59:58.380 but it
00:59:59.140 was the
00:59:59.380 right
00:59:59.500 question.
01:00:00.320 And I
01:00:00.520 have to
01:00:00.840 say,
01:00:02.100 I'm going
01:00:03.040 to slightly
01:00:03.640 revise
01:00:04.320 my opinion
01:00:06.440 of Trump's
01:00:07.140 performance
01:00:07.680 on fentanyl,
01:00:09.300 because I
01:00:09.940 had given
01:00:10.280 him something
01:00:10.900 like a
01:00:11.580 D minus
01:00:12.380 because nothing
01:00:13.960 changed.
01:00:14.520 It got
01:00:14.740 worse.
01:00:16.360 But,
01:00:17.080 you know,
01:00:17.380 at least he
01:00:17.920 made it a
01:00:18.860 little bit
01:00:19.180 more of a
01:00:19.580 national
01:00:19.980 conversation.
01:00:21.780 He tried
01:00:22.440 to push
01:00:22.820 China a
01:00:23.320 little bit,
01:00:23.820 but it
01:00:24.100 didn't work.
01:00:25.320 And so I
01:00:25.700 was basically,
01:00:26.800 he was this
01:00:27.340 close to a
01:00:27.940 completely
01:00:28.320 failing grade.
01:00:29.200 But now
01:00:30.620 that I
01:00:30.980 know how
01:00:31.400 serious he
01:00:32.040 was about
01:00:32.500 it,
01:00:33.080 that he
01:00:33.340 was willing
01:00:33.780 to risk
01:00:34.260 war with
01:00:34.980 Mexico to
01:00:36.640 kill these
01:00:37.200 motherfuckers,
01:00:38.720 I have a
01:00:39.740 lot more
01:00:40.060 respect for
01:00:40.980 him.
01:00:41.660 I wish he
01:00:42.440 had been
01:00:42.680 successful at
01:00:44.380 something with
01:00:45.700 fentanyl, and
01:00:46.200 he wasn't.
01:00:47.300 So I'm not
01:00:48.360 going to lose
01:00:48.780 sight of that.
01:00:49.980 But at
01:00:50.500 least he was
01:00:50.980 serious about
01:00:51.600 it.
01:00:52.480 He was
01:00:53.100 serious about
01:00:53.800 it, and
01:00:54.740 he obviously
01:00:55.500 was willing to
01:00:56.140 take a risk
01:00:56.760 that would
01:00:57.120 have been a
01:00:57.500 big risk to
01:00:58.120 himself
01:00:58.440 personally.
01:01:00.040 Let me
01:01:00.500 say that
01:01:00.820 again.
01:01:01.740 He would
01:01:02.140 have known
01:01:02.600 that was a
01:01:03.520 big risk to
01:01:04.160 him politically.
01:01:05.280 Of course.
01:01:07.280 Like, you
01:01:07.960 know, he
01:01:08.140 would have
01:01:08.420 hoped it
01:01:08.820 went his
01:01:09.140 way, but
01:01:10.600 he obviously
01:01:11.320 would have
01:01:11.700 known the
01:01:12.180 size of
01:01:12.580 the risk.
01:01:13.640 So if
01:01:14.420 Trump was
01:01:15.100 privately
01:01:15.640 taking a
01:01:17.660 risk that
01:01:18.340 big to
01:01:19.400 himself,
01:01:21.120 privately
01:01:22.060 to himself,
01:01:24.460 that was a
01:01:25.500 personal risk.
01:01:26.880 Even asking
01:01:27.460 the question
01:01:27.960 was a
01:01:28.260 personal risk.
01:01:29.200 So now
01:01:30.280 my respect
01:01:30.860 for Trump
01:01:31.420 on this
01:01:31.880 topic,
01:01:32.600 I'm being
01:01:32.900 very specific
01:01:33.620 here, is
01:01:34.640 now vastly
01:01:35.820 increased.
01:01:37.380 Because we
01:01:38.000 know he
01:01:38.320 was willing to
01:01:38.860 take a
01:01:39.180 personal risk
01:01:39.820 to get it
01:01:40.280 done.
01:01:42.140 It's hard
01:01:42.680 to ask for
01:01:43.180 more than
01:01:43.620 that from a
01:01:45.020 politician, right?
01:01:45.920 He didn't get
01:01:46.440 it done, and
01:01:46.940 that matters.
01:01:48.400 But if this
01:01:49.960 book is correct,
01:01:50.860 he was willing
01:01:51.320 to take a
01:01:51.840 personal risk
01:01:52.600 to get it
01:01:53.060 done, on
01:01:54.560 top of the
01:01:55.080 country risk,
01:01:56.460 etc., which is
01:01:57.860 a separate
01:01:58.200 conversation.
01:02:01.420 All right.
01:02:02.140 Did I
01:02:02.740 discuss this
01:02:03.320 topic with
01:02:03.840 Trump?
01:02:04.160 I did
01:02:04.500 not.
01:02:05.740 No.
01:02:07.040 I did
01:02:07.720 not.
01:02:11.200 Only in
01:02:12.440 the limited
01:02:13.060 sense that I
01:02:13.980 do it
01:02:14.260 publicly.
01:02:14.600 so I've
01:02:16.040 talked about
01:02:16.680 going after
01:02:18.460 the labs
01:02:19.520 publicly.
01:02:27.940 He fought
01:02:28.660 like hell
01:02:29.060 against the
01:02:29.420 deep state.
01:02:31.300 Yeah, I
01:02:32.020 don't know how
01:02:32.440 successful that
01:02:33.300 was either.
01:02:36.060 That's right,
01:02:36.580 Hillary wanted
01:02:37.160 to drone
01:02:37.640 Assange.
01:02:38.200 But I'm
01:02:41.880 going to
01:02:42.020 give Hillary
01:02:42.520 the same,
01:02:43.300 let's say,
01:02:46.320 benefit of a
01:02:47.160 doubt that
01:02:48.520 I give
01:02:49.580 Trump.
01:02:50.400 If Hillary,
01:02:51.660 in her
01:02:51.860 capacity as
01:02:52.720 one of the
01:02:53.320 leaders, was
01:02:53.740 simply asking
01:02:54.460 the question,
01:02:55.700 could we
01:02:56.420 drone this
01:02:56.900 person?
01:02:57.780 Now, I
01:02:58.160 don't think he
01:02:58.600 should be
01:02:58.900 droned.
01:03:00.080 That would
01:03:00.580 be a horrible
01:03:01.060 crime, in
01:03:01.940 my opinion.
01:03:03.060 But I'm
01:03:04.320 never going to
01:03:04.800 get on somebody
01:03:05.380 for asking
01:03:05.860 the question.
01:03:08.200 So, you
01:03:10.280 know, I
01:03:10.740 just don't
01:03:11.240 think that's
01:03:11.640 a standard
01:03:12.160 that we
01:03:12.580 should
01:03:12.880 appreciate.
01:03:14.320 You know,
01:03:14.500 the standard
01:03:15.220 should be,
01:03:16.300 we'll look at
01:03:16.860 their decisions.
01:03:18.040 Not the
01:03:18.460 questions they
01:03:19.120 ask to get
01:03:19.760 there.
01:03:20.860 That's not
01:03:22.840 how you
01:03:23.440 want to
01:03:23.900 judge anybody.
01:03:25.620 You don't
01:03:26.180 want to see
01:03:26.480 the first
01:03:26.900 draft.
01:03:29.960 All right.
01:03:33.100 Assange
01:03:33.620 did not
01:03:34.160 kill
01:03:34.480 millions.
01:03:36.480 True.
01:03:38.200 All right.
01:03:43.260 That's all I
01:03:43.620 got for
01:03:43.860 today.
01:03:44.860 I'm going
01:03:45.380 to go do
01:03:45.680 something else.
01:03:46.940 And thank
01:03:48.380 you for all
01:03:48.840 your good
01:03:49.540 thoughts about
01:03:50.140 my cat.
01:03:51.620 Very much
01:03:52.340 appreciated.
01:03:53.720 And I
01:03:54.820 will talk
01:03:55.220 to you
