Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1740 Scott Adams： Early Show Today, Talking About 2000 Mules and Disney copyrights

00:00:00.800 Good morning, everybody. It's an early show today. It's a travel day for me. I'm going

00:00:06.500 to go take a week and just write on my new book. I'm going to go where the scenery is

00:00:12.020 better to my top secret location. And you'll watch on YouTube later. Okay. So we'll be

00:00:21.240 at a different time today. And all you need to make this special is a copper mug or a

00:00:24.640 glass of tanker, gel, cider, canteen, jugger, flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with

00:00:28.540 your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the

00:00:33.320 dope being the other day that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. I

00:00:38.120 might be a little quick today because I got to get ready. Go. All right, you early birds.

00:00:49.060 You are the birds who always get that worm because you're up early. Sorry messing with your schedule. 0.51

00:00:55.160 It's only today. Only today. All right. I tried out my new technique of when somebody responds to my

00:01:03.060 tweets with a personal attack on me instead of responding to the personal attack, which is a

00:01:09.320 habit, a bad habit that I have developed. Because sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's just work.

00:01:15.940 So I just call everybody who does that Keith Olbermann. And I just say, okay, Keith. And I tried it out

00:01:24.040 today and it took a personal attack and just turned it into confusion. And I thought, well, that's an

00:01:30.600 upgrade. Somebody was attacking me personally. And I said, okay, Keith. And the person said, who's Keith?

00:01:37.120 Diffuse the entire thing. So try it. If we could make Keith Olbermann a joke, I mean, more than Keith

00:01:46.860 Olbermann has already made himself a joke, then we should do it. So remember. Okay, Keith. All right,

00:01:56.140 here's the dad joke of the day. You ready? Dad joke of the day from Twitter user Frank Scaramillo.

00:02:03.180 Talking about the Kentucky Derby winner. Did you see the video of the Kentucky Derby and the horse

00:02:10.520 called Rich Strike coming from behind and winning at the last minute? Now, let me tell you that your

00:02:19.200 first thought is I could not be less interested in horse racing, right? I mean, I've never watched a

00:02:25.760 horse race, like a complete horse race, just for fun. I've never watched one. But the video of this

00:02:32.580 horse, an 80 to one shot, coming from the back of the pack in the Kentucky Derby and winning it all,

00:02:39.920 was really breathtaking. It was really fun to watch. And I have lots of questions. Like, my question is,

00:02:47.720 could that horse always do that? What's up with that? Like, why did that one horse have that amazing

00:02:54.200 one day? Was it that the, a better jockey? Was it, somebody says drugs, but I think they test for

00:03:03.680 that. I don't know. So it was amazing. Anyway, here's the joke from Frank Scaramillo. He says,

00:03:11.480 Breaking Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike turns down a meeting with Joe Biden. Asked why. They said,

00:03:18.740 if I wanted to see a horse's ass, I would have come in second. Not bad. Not bad. Good dad joke. 1.00

00:03:28.500 All right. My Twitter growth has slipped back to baseline levels. Do you remember when we all

00:03:36.460 thought that the algorithm had changed? And now all the conservative accounts were going to have a lot

00:03:42.220 of uptick? Because they did for a while. Well, that uptick is over. Does anybody else have the same

00:03:49.660 experience? That you were getting tons of users for like two weeks and then poop back to normal?

00:03:57.740 Because that was my experience. So remember, Elon Musk, his opinion of why the follower count went up

00:04:04.760 is just because Twitter was in the news and Musk was trying to buy it. And it looks like maybe that

00:04:12.560 was the reason. So I think maybe the most obvious reason is the reason. It got a lot of attention.

00:04:19.680 People said, hey, we can go back now, see what all the noise is about. And then they were done.

00:04:24.800 So probably it wasn't so much about Twitter, you know, trying to burn the records and change the

00:04:33.340 algorithms before Elon Musk found out what they were up to. Probably wasn't that.

00:04:38.180 It probably was just they got a lot of attention. And that's all it was.

00:04:43.520 Well, I got, there was a hit piece on me put together by some group called LGBTQ Nation. 1.00

00:04:50.840 And they're quite, quite angry about my treatment of the trans community in my comic in which the

00:04:59.720 trans community was not mentioned directly or indirectly, or even contemplated in any way by

00:05:05.160 the person who wrote it. But they're quite mad. And so this article accused me of three things.

00:05:11.360 One, being a right winger. Incorrect. I'm left to Bernie. Two, making a trans joke. Incorrect. 0.93

00:05:19.180 It was a joke about a guy named Dave, who is black and an engineer, had nothing to do with trans whatsoever.

00:05:26.380 Not even a little, not slightly, not glancing, not indirectly, not, not in any way.

00:05:33.620 But they're pretty mad because they just saw themselves. Now, remember this story, will you?

00:05:39.960 Because in a moment, I'm going to tell you an unrelated story that connects to this story in such a clean way,

00:05:47.040 it's going to amaze you. Right? It was just a coincidence these two stories happened at the same time.

00:05:52.720 But just remember this story that, that people were, that this group were absolutely sure that this was all about them.

00:06:02.080 My joke. And it was nothing about them. Nothing at all. Not even slightly. Not, and I don't know, maybe,

00:06:08.980 maybe some people don't believe me. Maybe you think, maybe you think cleverly in my mind it really was about them.

00:06:14.080 No. No. Not, not cleverly in my mind. Not in the back of my mind. Not my subconscious.

00:06:20.200 It just was nothing about them. And yet they believed it was about them.

00:06:25.180 Who does that? What kind of person does that?

00:06:30.120 There's nothing about them, but they think it's all about them.

00:06:32.760 Hold that thought. Hold that thought. We'll get back to it.

00:06:39.740 They also said in the article, they just threw this in, that in one of my prior tweets,

00:06:44.120 I had insulted Pete Buttigieg and suggested that he liked to touch young children.

00:06:50.380 And then they showed my tweet that didn't do anything like that.

00:06:54.780 So they actually showed my tweet that clearly debunked what they said about the tweet.

00:07:01.420 It was like they said, you're saying that snow is purple.

00:07:06.220 And then they showed the tweet that says, I say, snow is white.

00:07:10.480 And then they say, see? What's that? What is that?

00:07:15.840 I don't even know what that is. How do you even explain that?

00:07:20.380 I mean, they show their work, and the work clearly shows the opposite of what they say it shows.

00:07:24.280 I don't even know how to interpret that.

00:07:29.600 Behold this thought. It's going to circle back.

00:07:32.520 And then, when I responded to it, telling them that every single fact in it was literally and obviously incorrect,

00:07:43.460 what do you think they did?

00:07:46.060 Apparently, and I don't know the details, there's some way that you can use an ad sign,

00:07:50.320 and you delete your tweet, and then you repost it,

00:07:53.560 and somehow it doesn't show up in your timeline, but it's still searchable.

00:07:56.960 Somehow they managed to take down my comment that their tweet was completely wrong in every factual way.

00:08:04.380 And they got to retweet it without my comment,

00:08:06.900 and somehow cleverly made my comment disappear from connection to the tweet.

00:08:12.720 Now, do you think it's because they felt they were right?

00:08:16.140 No. No.

00:08:17.780 They disconnected my comment from their tweet because I'm the one who knows what's right.

00:08:22.400 Obviously, I'd know if I'm a right-winger, right?

00:08:26.440 I'd know what I was thinking when I made the comic.

00:08:29.300 Like, I don't have to wonder.

00:08:30.920 I'm the one who knows.

00:08:32.320 So they took the only person who knows the actual reality of it,

00:08:35.780 and they dismissed me from the conversation.

00:08:39.580 Does that make them look guilty?

00:08:41.740 A little bit.

00:08:43.140 Hold that thought. Hold that thought.

00:08:45.840 The people trying to suppress your thought without a counter-argument?

00:08:49.300 That looks pretty guilty, doesn't it?

00:08:50.840 Well, that topic's going to come back around.

00:08:53.280 You just wait for it.

00:08:57.760 All right.

00:08:59.980 The other thing that people kept asking me when I said I'm not a right-winger,

00:09:03.420 people said, when do you ever disagree with conservatives?

00:09:06.320 Give me one example, Scott.

00:09:09.080 Give me one example where you disagree with conservatives. 1.00

00:09:12.300 To which my answer is, fuck you. 1.00

00:09:14.420 I'm not your bookkeeper. 1.00

00:09:15.840 It's not my job to go figure out everything I've said

00:09:20.160 and present it to you in a nice form. 0.99

00:09:22.420 If you wonder what my opinion is, just fucking ask me. 0.99

00:09:25.520 I'll tell you. 0.99

00:09:26.280 You don't have to look at three things I've done and a 50,000

00:09:29.280 and form an opinion.

00:09:31.220 And you don't need to tell me to go back and research my entire life

00:09:34.760 to tell you who I am.

00:09:36.560 You can just ask me.

00:09:38.480 Just ask.

00:09:39.600 I'll tell you.

00:09:40.180 You don't have to do the research at all.

00:09:43.520 I'll just tell you.

00:09:45.900 And there are plenty of people who have watched so much of my content

00:09:49.980 that they can confirm it.

00:09:52.460 So just ask anybody who's watched me for years to confirm it.

00:09:56.300 That's all.

00:09:57.400 All right.

00:09:57.660 Here's an example of me criticizing conservative opinion, I guess.

00:10:03.760 So Republican Josh Hawley is introduced to Bill to strip Disney

00:10:09.820 of some of its copyrights.

00:10:12.340 Now, I vehemently disagree with that.

00:10:15.340 It's a political retaliation, and it changes a deal.

00:10:20.260 And I have a real, real, like, I don't know,

00:10:25.280 it's almost irrational emotional response to anybody changing a deal.

00:10:30.820 I don't like changed deals.

00:10:34.000 I'll give you the philosophical reason.

00:10:36.620 The philosophical reason is that the economy works best

00:10:40.200 when it's predictable.

00:10:42.760 People will invest because they can predict,

00:10:45.520 at least they think they can, a little bit what would happen if they invest.

00:10:48.880 If you take away all the ability to predict,

00:10:51.540 because anything could happen, then people don't invest.

00:10:55.140 The economy suffers.

00:10:56.480 So the first thing is, don't change a deal.

00:11:02.380 And somebody said to me,

00:11:03.760 Scott, the government changes deals all the time.

00:11:07.100 They change your tax rates.

00:11:08.360 They change the laws.

00:11:09.960 The government is changing deals all the time.

00:11:12.080 Why do you pick this one?

00:11:14.180 Like, why is this the one thing you're going to pick on?

00:11:16.780 To which I say, okay, you're wrong again.

00:11:19.040 I pick on it every time something is changed.

00:11:22.860 It's a very basic economic rule that you don't change stuff.

00:11:27.920 The economy will adapt even to inefficiencies.

00:11:32.020 But once it's adapted, you don't want to mess with it.

00:11:35.700 Right?

00:11:35.940 You don't want to make it have to readapt unless you have to.

00:11:39.320 Now, there are reasons why you would change things intentionally.

00:11:42.340 But if you're just changing something for political payback,

00:11:45.740 that is not the reason to change something.

00:11:47.920 So let me say as full-throatedly as I can,

00:11:53.480 and this is not a defense of Disney, by the way.

00:11:56.060 This is not a defense of Disney.

00:11:58.240 This is a defense of systems that work.

00:12:03.440 A system that works is that you don't randomly, not randomly,

00:12:06.780 but you don't target a company, if you're the government,

00:12:10.560 for special rule changes to punish them.

00:12:13.160 You just don't do that. 0.99

00:12:14.640 And basically, this is fucked up. 1.00

00:12:16.480 This is just fucked up. 1.00

00:12:18.340 And Josh Hawley, I think, is just a fucking idiot, really. 1.00

00:12:22.400 I mean, this is such a bad idea. 1.00

00:12:24.700 Now, it might be politically good.

00:12:26.620 It might be good for his team.

00:12:28.200 You know, it's popular.

00:12:29.420 But what it looks like is somebody trying to be Ron DeSantis and failing.

00:12:34.160 That's what it looks like.

00:12:35.020 It looks like Ron DeSantis is the genuine item.

00:12:38.440 Like, he knows how to surf the headlines and take advantage of the news

00:12:42.980 and do little things that really get him attention in just the right way.

00:12:47.080 So Ron DeSantis is, you know, he's batting 1,000, basically.

00:12:50.980 He's just hitting every note consistently.

00:12:54.160 I think Josh Hawley is trying to be like that,

00:12:57.000 and this is just not the right way to do it.

00:12:59.960 This just looks cheap.

00:13:01.480 It looks like a cheap shot to me.

00:13:03.080 All right, here is the most interesting tweet thread that I have seen in a long time.

00:13:09.200 Now, I wouldn't normally read the whole thread, but it's so good,

00:13:12.600 and it might explain so many things that we're seeing that I'm going to read it.

00:13:17.820 Now, I want to warn you in advance.

00:13:20.340 There's one example that's used within the thread about the trans community.

00:13:26.820 I disavow that comment because I think it's a more complicated situation.

00:13:32.200 But the comment does fit within his thesis so well that I'm going to read it anyway.

00:13:38.580 Normally, I would consider it not really the content I would share with you.

00:13:42.680 But because the larger opinion is so solid,

00:13:46.060 that I'm going to take a little discomfort with that part of it.

00:13:50.900 Here's what a user named P-E-G, just three letters, P-E-G.

00:14:00.000 And he says this.

00:14:02.380 He starts his thread.

00:14:03.880 He says,

00:14:04.180 What leftists describe as empathy or compassion is really narcissism.

00:14:09.360 Now, this is his theme,

00:14:11.000 that the left is not really full of empathy or compassion.

00:14:14.040 They're really just narcissists.

00:14:15.600 He says the feeling of being a good person and having power over the punitive victims they so solicitously help.

00:14:24.760 Then he goes on.

00:14:25.940 The tell is that there is no reconsideration when their empathy causes harm to the people it's directed to. 1.00

00:14:33.060 Holy shit. 1.00

00:14:36.280 Holy shit. 1.00

00:14:37.300 This is the part where I said, 0.99

00:14:41.880 I think he's on to something here.

00:14:44.720 All right.

00:14:45.700 Let me, and then he gives examples.

00:14:48.320 He says,

00:14:48.900 If they actually cared,

00:14:50.100 he's talking about leftists,

00:14:51.460 if they actually cared and were just misguided,

00:14:54.420 they would go, 1.00

00:14:55.220 Oh, shit. 1.00

00:14:56.280 Turns out defunding the police leads to lots and lots more black people being shot. 1.00

00:15:01.820 Or pick another example, 0.89

00:15:03.540 or pick another out of literally hundreds of examples.

00:15:06.000 But they never ever do.

00:15:09.980 In other words,

00:15:10.420 they never reconsider that they're hurting their victims.

00:15:14.680 They just double down that it's what they want.

00:15:19.980 Who does that?

00:15:22.640 Narcissists.

00:15:24.460 That's who doesn't.

00:15:26.040 And I thought,

00:15:26.860 Huh.

00:15:27.340 He's on to something.

00:15:29.140 The other tell,

00:15:30.400 he says,

00:15:31.240 is a total lack of interest and other perspectives.

00:15:33.760 Well, I think you could blame both sides for that.

00:15:38.180 All right.

00:15:39.580 But it does seem,

00:15:41.560 it seems,

00:15:42.440 that the left have more,

00:15:44.320 let's say,

00:15:44.780 less interest in listening to the right

00:15:46.380 than the right has in listening to the left.

00:15:50.020 But that could be subjective.

00:15:51.380 Maybe it is just that the right is always subjected to the left's opinion

00:15:56.340 and it's easy to understand.

00:15:59.500 So,

00:16:00.260 then he goes on in this thread.

00:16:02.960 He said,

00:16:03.720 Imagine this.

00:16:04.900 I meant well,

00:16:05.760 but I guess most Hispanics don't want to be called Latinx.

00:16:08.680 And since I believe in centering,

00:16:10.900 you know,

00:16:12.860 BIPOC voices,

00:16:14.620 he goes,

00:16:15.180 Nope,

00:16:15.500 never,

00:16:15.800 not once.

00:16:16.160 So,

00:16:16.320 he's giving an example of somebody who would change their mind

00:16:18.680 because their prescription for other people didn't work.

00:16:23.620 In other words,

00:16:24.160 the people that are trying to help by being more respectful

00:16:26.900 and calling them Latinx didn't want it.

00:16:29.320 So,

00:16:29.820 they never say,

00:16:30.300 Oh,

00:16:30.520 sorry.

00:16:31.400 I guess you didn't want that,

00:16:32.500 so we'll just stop doing it.

00:16:33.940 Nope,

00:16:34.380 just keep doing it.

00:16:35.800 Because it doesn't matter if they want it or not.

00:16:37.880 Who does that?

00:16:42.080 And then he goes on.

00:16:43.100 Again,

00:16:43.420 it's not just that they disagree,

00:16:45.280 which would be legitimate and human.

00:16:47.660 It's that it doesn't even register for them.

00:16:50.760 Because for them,

00:16:51.680 it's all about me,

00:16:52.880 me,

00:16:53.060 me,

00:16:53.280 and the theater inside their own head when they're a white knight,

00:16:57.160 where they are a white knight.

00:16:58.600 In many ways,

00:16:59.520 they're the,

00:16:59.920 okay,

00:17:00.220 here's the part where I'm uncomfortable with this.

00:17:03.520 And I'm just going to read it because it completes the picture.

00:17:07.020 But this is not,

00:17:08.820 this does not match my own opinion of the trans community.

00:17:11.800 All right.

00:17:14.280 He says,

00:17:15.480 in many ways,

00:17:18.700 they're the prototype of the abusive parent,

00:17:21.020 which is why the acme of lib brain is Munchausen by proxy,

00:17:26.420 where you castrate your own child for their own good,

00:17:30.440 you see.

00:17:31.720 Okay,

00:17:31.940 here's the part where he's going too far for my comfort.

00:17:33.920 But then he says,

00:17:35.440 the deranged Munchausen by proxy, 0.98

00:17:37.220 trans mom, 0.92

00:17:38.540 is just the micro version of how they see all problems.

00:17:41.840 Munchausen by proxy government.

00:17:46.200 The point here is not the vaguely police related word.

00:17:50.440 Oh,

00:17:50.980 I'm sorry.

00:17:54.060 Oh,

00:17:54.600 and he gives an example of AOC where she talks about herself.

00:17:57.740 And you sort of don't notice it until he mentions it.

00:18:01.200 But here's an AOC tweet he used as an example.

00:18:03.780 So the beginning of her tweet started out this way.

00:18:06.500 Tired of having to collectively stress out about what explosion of hate crimes,

00:18:10.540 blah,

00:18:10.680 blah.

00:18:11.300 So he points out that AOC begins her tweet by talking about how tired she is.

00:18:17.080 That the problem is about her being tired.

00:18:18.920 And I'd never noticed this before.

00:18:26.040 And then he,

00:18:26.960 when he talks about AOC's tweet,

00:18:28.360 he says that the point here is not the vaguely policy related word salad.

00:18:33.560 It's that AOC is so tired and stressed.

00:18:36.680 It's the first thing she mentions.

00:18:38.520 It's what she cares about.

00:18:40.020 It's what she wants you to know about her.

00:18:43.100 And then he says,

00:18:43.860 guess what Tucker Carlson never talks about on his show?

00:18:47.600 Himself.

00:18:53.000 Did you ever think about that?

00:18:55.200 Does Tucker Carlson ever talk about himself?

00:18:58.260 I don't know.

00:18:58.680 Maybe he does,

00:18:59.440 but I can't think of an example.

00:19:02.220 And then,

00:19:03.060 and then the last part of the thread was a tweet by George Takei.

00:19:09.840 And this is George Takei talking about himself,

00:19:12.460 another leftist.

00:19:13.300 He goes,

00:19:13.740 there's much talk these days of what being a man entails.

00:19:17.040 I'm more of a man than someone like Tucker Carlson,

00:19:19.900 whoever it be,

00:19:20.900 you know,

00:19:21.120 blah,

00:19:21.300 blah,

00:19:21.440 blah,

00:19:21.700 talks about himself.

00:19:22.960 And again,

00:19:24.000 it's another good example of a prominent left leading person who starts by talking about him or herself.

00:19:33.140 Now,

00:19:33.620 what do you think of this hypothesis that leftist politics,

00:19:36.880 at least the aggressive leftists,

00:19:38.640 we're not talking about people who just lead Democrat,

00:19:41.440 right?

00:19:41.820 Can I make sure that you all know,

00:19:45.440 when you talk about generalities,

00:19:47.020 you're not talking about everybody.

00:19:48.340 You're not talking about any of the people in the middle ever.

00:19:50.840 You talk about the,

00:19:51.700 you know,

00:19:52.040 the left and the right extremes,

00:19:54.540 usually.

00:19:54.800 But this is a fairly solid point that it does look like narcissism.

00:20:02.640 Now,

00:20:03.000 I would argue that the all politics is just people talking about themselves.

00:20:09.380 Will you go that far with me?

00:20:14.580 So,

00:20:15.080 I think that user peg,

00:20:17.060 P-E-G, 1.00

00:20:17.680 makes a great point that it looks like narcissism drives the leftist,

00:20:23.280 at least the most headline grabbing stuff.

00:20:26.680 But I'm not so sure that there isn't just as much of a personal projection going on on the right.

00:20:32.620 It just,

00:20:33.300 it just expresses itself differently.

00:20:35.240 Because I think the right mostly wants what's good for them individually,

00:20:40.400 which they then assume would be good for other people individually.

00:20:44.640 For example,

00:20:46.420 gun ownership.

00:20:48.180 If you're on the right,

00:20:50.020 and you're a certain type of person where you're going to take a,

00:20:52.320 you're going to take a gun ownership class,

00:20:54.800 you're going to learn,

00:20:55.520 you know,

00:20:55.800 all the safety elements of a gun,

00:20:57.920 you're going to put a gun lock on it,

00:20:59.200 maybe put it in a safe,

00:21:00.340 you're only going to use it in an emergency for self-defense.

00:21:03.620 Well,

00:21:04.060 in that case,

00:21:05.240 guns are pretty good.

00:21:06.920 More good than bad.

00:21:08.720 But lots of people are not in that situation.

00:21:11.480 And so generalizing your personal preference for security,

00:21:15.360 and imagining that,

00:21:16.740 you know,

00:21:16.980 other people share it,

00:21:18.000 as opposed to being in more danger,

00:21:19.860 because there are more guns in their apartment or house or environment.

00:21:25.240 So,

00:21:25.940 lots of times,

00:21:26.980 I think that all of us are just generalizing from ourselves.

00:21:31.080 And I would argue that everything is that.

00:21:33.440 I would argue that everything we invent is a person.

00:21:40.040 It's an extreme thought.

00:21:41.560 Let me connect that.

00:21:42.860 Everything we invent is an extension of ourselves.

00:21:46.860 For example,

00:21:47.480 the internet is us talking,

00:21:50.260 but we're doing it better.

00:21:51.900 An airplane is us walking,

00:21:54.380 but faster.

00:21:55.740 Right?

00:21:56.000 This is just a conversation,

00:22:00.100 but extended.

00:22:01.680 So everything that we invent is just us.

00:22:03.920 It's just more of it.

00:22:05.260 And I have a theory that it's all we can invent.

00:22:08.820 That you could never invent anything that isn't a projection of yourself.

00:22:13.900 Because you couldn't even think of it.

00:22:16.700 Now,

00:22:17.200 that might be too far.

00:22:18.840 I don't have any way to prove that.

00:22:21.100 But it feels as if we don't even have the ability

00:22:23.400 to see anything that isn't a version of ourselves.

00:22:27.260 We fall in love with something that feels like something about us.

00:22:31.080 You have a pet that feels like something about you.

00:22:34.080 Everything's about you.

00:22:37.080 All right.

00:22:38.140 I asked this question,

00:22:39.580 and I don't...

00:22:40.620 I guess I was just being provocative,

00:22:42.900 but also curious.

00:22:45.380 It's the middle of May,

00:22:47.580 and those of you who have watched me for a long time,

00:22:51.380 you know how I get stuffed up in allergy season?

00:22:54.620 It's actually hard to listen to the...

00:22:56.560 Sometimes it's hard to listen to the live stream,

00:22:59.580 because I'll be so stuffed up.

00:23:02.340 This is the middle of May.

00:23:04.220 I don't have any allergies.

00:23:06.060 At all.

00:23:07.180 This is literally peak season.

00:23:08.680 This week would be the peak of the whole year.

00:23:12.040 Nothing.

00:23:14.220 Why?

00:23:15.660 Now,

00:23:16.240 I'm trying to think what's different.

00:23:18.660 Now,

00:23:19.180 it could be,

00:23:20.140 yeah,

00:23:20.360 somebody said vitamin D,

00:23:21.480 but there doesn't seem to be a strong enough mechanism for that.

00:23:24.620 Some people said,

00:23:25.540 maybe it's your vaccination.

00:23:27.760 But,

00:23:28.480 I asked,

00:23:29.280 on the internet,

00:23:30.300 and people had experiences all over the place.

00:23:32.440 There were people who had never had bad allergies,

00:23:35.220 who had the worst time they've ever had this year.

00:23:38.000 So,

00:23:38.260 there are some people...

00:23:39.340 Oh,

00:23:39.720 that's interesting.

00:23:40.620 Wildfires.

00:23:43.640 I think it's actually early for the wildfire season,

00:23:46.160 though.

00:23:46.780 So,

00:23:47.000 that's not a May thing.

00:23:48.100 That's usually a summer thing.

00:23:50.660 It's not the drought,

00:23:52.040 because

00:23:52.840 the current conditions where I am are completely green and lush.

00:23:57.500 So,

00:23:57.900 it's not the drought.

00:23:58.620 It will be.

00:23:59.900 It would be the drought of the summer.

00:24:01.220 But in the spring,

00:24:02.680 there's still plenty of water.

00:24:03.640 Everything's green.

00:24:05.260 So,

00:24:05.740 the plants are not feeling any drought.

00:24:07.880 The plants are well-fed.

00:24:09.080 So,

00:24:09.420 that shouldn't be it.

00:24:12.500 You jinxed yourself.

00:24:14.040 Your cat.

00:24:14.500 Your cat.

00:24:15.500 No,

00:24:15.820 I had the cat until just this week,

00:24:17.300 and I didn't have any allergies.

00:24:19.720 Now,

00:24:20.180 the other thing that I did is I stopped,

00:24:22.000 stopped having things with sulfites in them,

00:24:26.780 because it turns out I do have a severe allergy to a food additive

00:24:30.160 that took me my entire life to discover.

00:24:33.680 There are various sulfite-related chemicals that I have a reaction to.

00:24:37.720 Now,

00:24:38.200 they're usually in wine,

00:24:39.740 so I do have an allergy to alcohol,

00:24:42.960 and they're in salad dressings,

00:24:45.040 and dressings,

00:24:46.160 and I do have a reaction to those.

00:24:48.980 But it's also hidden in a lot of different foods,

00:24:51.300 and you don't notice it on the label.

00:24:53.420 So,

00:24:53.640 it's really hard to avoid.

00:24:55.560 But,

00:24:56.040 this is the first time that I've tried hard to avoid that,

00:24:59.860 and sure enough,

00:25:00.640 I'm having a good spring.

00:25:02.000 So,

00:25:02.240 is it possible I never had allergies?

00:25:04.460 But that doesn't make sense.

00:25:06.820 And I don't really have an answer for it.

00:25:09.380 So,

00:25:09.760 it could be the California's low pollen,

00:25:11.860 it could be just a coincidence,

00:25:13.080 it could be a hundred things.

00:25:14.200 I don't think it's from the vaccinations.

00:25:17.420 So,

00:25:17.780 can I say that clearly?

00:25:19.980 I don't see evidence

00:25:21.180 that the vaccinations had any correlation with anything.

00:25:24.420 Because when I asked online,

00:25:25.640 people were all over the place.

00:25:27.460 Right?

00:25:27.660 There were every combination of,

00:25:29.140 I did or did not get vaxxed,

00:25:30.400 I did or did not have worse allergies.

00:25:32.180 But there's something going on.

00:25:33.940 There's a whole bunch of people

00:25:35.220 who said their allergy situation

00:25:36.600 is completely different

00:25:37.720 than any year in their life.

00:25:39.760 What is that?

00:25:40.820 Is it just confirmation bias?

00:25:42.020 It could be.

00:25:44.440 Yeah,

00:25:44.880 it could be.

00:25:48.640 All right.

00:25:49.240 So,

00:25:49.400 I watched 2,000 Mules last night,

00:25:51.740 as many of you requested.

00:25:54.580 And I was not surprised

00:25:56.460 that it was deeply persuasive.

00:25:59.740 It was deeply persuasive.

00:26:02.160 Now,

00:26:02.800 I knew that before I watched it.

00:26:04.600 And I told you that,

00:26:05.440 right?

00:26:06.560 Because documentaries

00:26:08.120 are the most persuasive form

00:26:10.580 of communication.

00:26:12.560 Because you get,

00:26:13.600 let's say,

00:26:14.020 an hour of one point of view

00:26:15.700 with no counterpoint.

00:26:18.620 Imagine any lawyer

00:26:19.880 who could argue in court

00:26:21.860 for an hour

00:26:22.640 and the other attorney

00:26:24.260 couldn't talk.

00:26:25.640 There would be no evidence

00:26:26.720 presented on the other side.

00:26:28.460 How persuasive would one lawyer

00:26:30.240 talking for an hour

00:26:31.860 and no counterpoint,

00:26:33.480 how persuasive would that be?

00:26:36.420 100%.

00:26:36.980 How persuasive is a documentary

00:26:39.700 that talks for an hour

00:26:40.980 and shows no counterpoint?

00:26:43.960 100%.

00:26:44.520 So remember,

00:26:46.380 being persuasive

00:26:47.560 has nothing to do

00:26:49.120 with being true.

00:26:50.900 Do you all get that?

00:26:51.980 That's really important.

00:26:53.800 This documentary

00:26:54.620 is persuasive as hell.

00:26:57.520 I mean,

00:26:57.940 it's really persuasive.

00:26:58.940 It doesn't mean it's true.

00:27:03.280 It doesn't mean it's true.

00:27:10.000 So,

00:27:10.720 that's the first thing.

00:27:12.600 So I wrote a little thread

00:27:14.360 on my take on it

00:27:15.720 and I saw that

00:27:16.640 Dinesh had retweeted it

00:27:18.460 and said he wishes

00:27:19.520 that other people

00:27:21.220 took the same critical

00:27:22.500 opinion of it.

00:27:24.220 Now,

00:27:24.520 it's notable

00:27:25.040 because I was not

00:27:26.480 entirely positive

00:27:27.340 about the movie.

00:27:28.900 This is notable.

00:27:30.520 I was not entirely

00:27:31.560 positive about the movie

00:27:32.700 and Dinesh still said

00:27:34.280 this is the kind of thinking

00:27:36.100 I want everybody

00:27:36.800 to do about the movie.

00:27:38.980 So his credibility,

00:27:40.620 I think,

00:27:41.360 improved

00:27:41.900 by that statement

00:27:43.760 because he allowed

00:27:45.060 a negative

00:27:45.580 about the movie

00:27:46.400 into the opinion

00:27:48.120 that he tweeted,

00:27:49.260 retweeted.

00:27:51.160 All right,

00:27:51.760 so I'll read

00:27:53.320 what I said

00:27:53.900 in my tweet.

00:27:55.060 I said,

00:27:55.280 I watched 2,000 Mules

00:27:56.220 last night.

00:27:56.740 It makes a persuasive case

00:27:58.140 for major election fraud

00:28:00.100 in 2020.

00:28:01.940 Don't take me

00:28:02.620 off the platform yet

00:28:03.600 because I'm going to

00:28:04.920 soften that a little bit,

00:28:06.160 okay?

00:28:06.840 So before I'm removed

00:28:07.820 from all social media,

00:28:10.980 wait for the rest.

00:28:12.720 So I watched it last night.

00:28:13.780 It was very persuasive.

00:28:14.880 And then I say,

00:28:15.620 most documentaries

00:28:16.260 are persuasive.

00:28:17.560 So are most lawyers.

00:28:18.560 That's why I never

00:28:19.240 trust either one.

00:28:20.400 I recommend you

00:28:21.140 do the same.

00:28:22.100 So keep in mind

00:28:22.880 that I just said

00:28:23.580 most documentaries

00:28:24.360 are persuasive,

00:28:25.280 so are most lawyers.

00:28:26.520 That's why I never

00:28:27.280 trust them

00:28:27.920 and you should

00:28:28.880 do the same.

00:28:30.060 So in my tweet thread,

00:28:31.500 I told you

00:28:32.100 you should not trust

00:28:33.220 this documentary

00:28:34.840 to be true.

00:28:36.540 And the person

00:28:37.240 who made the documentary

00:28:38.160 retweeted that

00:28:38.940 because he also says,

00:28:41.940 and I think this is

00:28:42.860 a fair characterization

00:28:43.640 of his opinion,

00:28:44.480 I think,

00:28:45.200 he also says

00:28:46.240 you should not take it

00:28:47.600 as the final answer.

00:28:49.840 It's enough information

00:28:51.600 for you to go

00:28:52.260 to the next step,

00:28:53.320 which I believe

00:28:54.060 is what he would

00:28:54.560 like you to do.

00:28:55.520 Now, if you took

00:28:56.220 the next step

00:28:56.840 and found out

00:28:57.480 that the early indications

00:28:59.300 that are pretty strong signals

00:29:00.580 were false signals,

00:29:03.620 then wouldn't that

00:29:04.240 be good to know?

00:29:05.660 I would really like

00:29:06.680 to know that.

00:29:07.500 If none of this

00:29:08.360 is indicative

00:29:10.340 of a real problem,

00:29:11.540 I'd like to know.

00:29:12.740 That's very important.

00:29:15.120 All right.

00:29:15.360 But then I said,

00:29:19.100 I said,

00:29:19.920 that said,

00:29:20.260 the alleged debunk

00:29:21.340 of the film,

00:29:22.220 so I've seen in writing

00:29:23.220 in some smaller outlets,

00:29:26.380 because the bigger outlets

00:29:27.300 aren't even talking about it,

00:29:28.280 right,

00:29:28.420 but some smaller entities

00:29:29.760 attempted to debunk the film,

00:29:32.580 but their debunk

00:29:33.600 is nothing but hand waving.

00:29:35.760 Let me pause

00:29:36.520 and tell you what it was.

00:29:37.460 The debunk I saw

00:29:38.620 was that the method

00:29:40.160 used in the documentary,

00:29:42.440 2,000 Mules,

00:29:43.520 was that they got a hold

00:29:45.000 of the analyst

00:29:47.340 got a hold

00:29:47.860 of his cell phone

00:29:48.740 tracking geolocation stuff,

00:29:51.380 and that they could find

00:29:52.440 that there were

00:29:52.900 certain people

00:29:53.780 who went between

00:29:55.480 certain organizations,

00:29:56.920 nonprofits,

00:29:58.000 and Dropboxes

00:29:59.160 way more times

00:30:00.740 than anybody

00:30:01.260 would have a normal reason

00:30:02.280 to go in those directions.

00:30:04.560 So they could find

00:30:05.460 that there was

00:30:05.920 an unusually high level

00:30:07.520 of activity

00:30:08.100 of people,

00:30:09.580 the same person,

00:30:10.720 going over and over

00:30:11.600 to a Dropbox

00:30:12.420 in lots of places,

00:30:13.620 in lots of places

00:30:14.400 that the election

00:30:15.600 had an unusual outcome.

00:30:18.240 And there's lots of videos

00:30:19.460 of people putting

00:30:21.020 multiple ballots

00:30:22.580 in boxes.

00:30:23.900 Now, we don't know

00:30:24.620 if those people

00:30:25.320 were maybe legal,

00:30:27.320 maybe they had

00:30:27.940 gigantic families, 0.57

00:30:29.780 and they were taking

00:30:30.440 all of the ballots

00:30:31.080 for their family.

00:30:32.400 That is possible,

00:30:33.740 which would be legal.

00:30:35.960 Or,

00:30:37.100 it's exactly what

00:30:37.840 it looks like,

00:30:38.620 a bunch of mules,

00:30:39.600 in other words,

00:30:40.240 transporters,

00:30:41.540 just taking these ballots

00:30:42.680 from however they got them

00:30:44.260 and shoving them 0.95

00:30:45.540 in boxes,

00:30:46.100 which would be

00:30:46.520 very illegal.

00:30:48.520 So,

00:30:49.920 the pushback

00:30:52.380 is that the

00:30:53.340 cell phone data

00:30:55.120 would not be

00:30:55.780 accurate enough

00:30:56.600 to know that they

00:30:57.860 actually put the ballots

00:30:58.880 in the box.

00:31:02.100 Okay,

00:31:03.120 that's it?

00:31:05.240 That's the debunk?

00:31:06.380 The debunk

00:31:07.820 is that the

00:31:08.740 phone information

00:31:10.800 is not accurate enough

00:31:12.180 to know that they

00:31:13.420 actually put a ballot

00:31:14.320 in a box,

00:31:15.080 just that they were

00:31:15.720 in the neighborhood.

00:31:17.440 Now,

00:31:17.880 if you listen to the movie,

00:31:20.400 whether or not

00:31:21.480 the movie is telling you

00:31:22.520 everything true,

00:31:23.140 I don't know that part.

00:31:24.220 But the way they describe it,

00:31:26.460 their method would be

00:31:27.520 pretty darn persuasive.

00:31:31.320 Now,

00:31:31.580 I don't know if it's wrong.

00:31:33.300 Don't know if it's wrong.

00:31:34.920 I don't know if they

00:31:35.540 analyze it wrong.

00:31:37.060 But,

00:31:37.780 it's very persuasive.

00:31:41.440 All right,

00:31:41.900 so,

00:31:42.100 and,

00:31:42.280 so I said this.

00:31:46.540 A reasonable assumption

00:31:48.200 under these circumstances,

00:31:49.620 the circumstances being

00:31:50.680 that the pushback

00:31:51.620 is weak

00:31:53.360 and the film

00:31:55.620 is massively censored

00:31:56.740 by the alleged

00:31:57.640 guilty team,

00:31:59.160 right?

00:31:59.420 If the team that is being,

00:32:01.860 in this case,

00:32:02.540 the Democrats,

00:32:03.400 if their team is being

00:32:04.600 blamed of something

00:32:05.400 and they're also

00:32:06.100 the ones primarily

00:32:07.020 behind censoring

00:32:08.140 that allegation,

00:32:10.220 well,

00:32:10.560 that's a little

00:32:10.980 suspicious too.

00:32:12.940 And the fact that

00:32:13.880 the pushback

00:32:14.560 is so weak, 0.88

00:32:15.320 it's just ridiculous. 0.99

00:32:17.120 Now, 0.96

00:32:17.460 that doesn't mean

00:32:17.940 that there isn't

00:32:18.620 a good argument

00:32:19.340 against the movie.

00:32:20.880 I just haven't seen it.

00:32:23.040 Nobody's offered it

00:32:23.960 in any public way

00:32:24.820 that I've seen.

00:32:25.300 And then just to keep

00:32:28.520 myself on social media,

00:32:29.680 I said,

00:32:29.920 to be clear,

00:32:30.520 no court has ruled

00:32:31.300 that the 2020 election

00:32:32.400 had substantial fraud,

00:32:34.140 but lacking full,

00:32:36.260 I capitalized full,

00:32:37.660 election transparency,

00:32:38.880 a responsible citizen

00:32:39.840 can assume fraud

00:32:40.960 because the signals

00:32:42.460 are all there.

00:32:44.600 So,

00:32:45.040 in my opinion,

00:32:45.760 if you made an assumption

00:32:47.500 that 2020 was fraudulent

00:32:49.140 without court evidence,

00:32:51.360 because it's not proven,

00:32:53.560 definitely not proven,

00:32:55.100 but the situation

00:32:57.200 is sufficiently signal-rich

00:33:01.560 that that would be

00:33:03.400 a reasonable assumption,

00:33:04.760 that it was a rigged election.

00:33:07.460 Doesn't mean it's proven,

00:33:09.160 doesn't mean I have

00:33:09.920 evidence of it,

00:33:10.920 but the signals,

00:33:12.580 I would say,

00:33:13.280 are so strong

00:33:14.140 that you could be

00:33:15.700 quite a reasonable citizen.

00:33:17.280 You might be wrong,

00:33:18.540 but you would be reasonable

00:33:19.580 in assuming it was fraudulent.

00:33:21.920 That would be very reasonable.

00:33:24.700 Sorry.

00:33:26.000 If somebody doesn't like that,

00:33:28.340 there's nothing

00:33:29.480 I can do about it.

00:33:32.460 Yes,

00:33:32.960 and as the comments here,

00:33:34.980 I think,

00:33:35.640 I feel like I was

00:33:36.680 the first one to see this,

00:33:37.740 to say this,

00:33:38.740 but I saw Sebastian Gorka

00:33:40.480 say it in the film,

00:33:42.320 and it was in the comments here,

00:33:44.200 that if you thought

00:33:45.120 that Hitler was actually

00:33:46.480 running for president,

00:33:48.420 you would do whatever you could

00:33:49.840 to rig the election,

00:33:51.060 wouldn't you?

00:33:52.140 So to imagine

00:33:53.060 that the Democrats

00:33:53.840 who actually thought

00:33:54.900 Trump was a form of Hitler,

00:33:56.960 to imagine that they 0.94

00:33:57.860 wouldn't try to stop him,

00:33:59.540 is sort of an insult

00:34:00.400 to them,

00:34:00.820 isn't it?

00:34:02.280 It's a pretty big insult

00:34:03.640 to Democrats

00:34:04.260 if they didn't try

00:34:05.340 to rig the election.

00:34:07.220 In fact,

00:34:07.880 I'd hate them.

00:34:09.720 I mean,

00:34:10.200 I think I would have

00:34:11.200 no respect for them all

00:34:12.180 if they didn't try

00:34:12.840 to rig the election,

00:34:14.000 from their assumption

00:34:15.260 that Trump was 0.99

00:34:17.960 like the devil. 0.99

00:34:19.960 Now that part

00:34:20.660 I disagree with,

00:34:21.940 but if that's

00:34:22.720 their starting point,

00:34:24.240 I can't respect them

00:34:25.340 if they didn't 0.99

00:34:25.820 try to kill him. 0.99

00:34:29.300 I guess that was 1.00

00:34:30.640 too provocative.

00:34:31.920 We don't want to

00:34:32.620 recommend any kind

00:34:34.180 of violence,

00:34:34.660 so we're not doing that.

00:34:35.600 I'm just saying

00:34:36.180 that they're not

00:34:36.640 acting consistent.

00:34:37.960 If they really believe

00:34:38.960 that stuff,

00:34:39.940 they should act

00:34:40.860 a lot more aggressively,

00:34:42.000 and they should

00:34:43.060 tell you right up front,

00:34:44.000 yeah,

00:34:44.180 we totally rigged

00:34:44.960 that election

00:34:45.440 because there's no way

00:34:46.380 we're going to let

00:34:46.780 this Hitler in there. 0.62

00:34:48.840 Might as well

00:34:49.340 just admit it.

00:34:51.000 Now,

00:34:51.360 I think that that

00:34:51.960 suggests they don't

00:34:53.140 believe their own

00:34:53.740 arguments.

00:34:54.620 There's something to that.

00:34:56.520 All right.

00:34:58.120 So that's my bottom line

00:34:59.360 on the movie.

00:35:00.000 Very persuasive,

00:35:00.940 but that doesn't mean

00:35:01.560 anything about being true.

00:35:03.980 And ladies and gentlemen,

00:35:05.140 this is my

00:35:06.380 concludes,

00:35:08.380 my shorter,

00:35:09.100 better,

00:35:10.440 amazing live stream.

00:35:12.000 Yeah.

00:35:15.280 Now Biden's after

00:35:16.580 the ultra-megas.

00:35:18.300 Ultra.

00:35:19.520 I'm not just mega.

00:35:21.740 I'm ultra.

00:35:23.180 Ultra.

00:35:25.740 All right.

00:35:27.540 Inflation numbers

00:35:28.340 came out.

00:35:28.880 I imagine they're bad.

00:35:36.540 What do we believe

00:35:38.020 if we can't believe

00:35:38.820 the news

00:35:39.300 and we can't believe

00:35:39.940 our own research?

00:35:42.000 Don't believe anything.

00:35:44.480 So we have to

00:35:46.000 navigate a world

00:35:47.000 in which nothing

00:35:47.640 is credible.

00:35:50.300 There are ways

00:35:51.100 to do it.

00:35:51.940 I mean,

00:35:52.180 there are a number

00:35:52.620 of strategies

00:35:53.200 for making your

00:35:54.620 cost-benefit decisions.

00:35:56.300 but you have to do it

00:35:59.340 with the assumption

00:36:00.280 that you can't

00:36:00.860 trust anything.

00:36:05.340 All right.

00:36:12.160 It's got electrolytes.

00:36:16.420 All right.

00:36:17.480 That's all for now.

00:36:19.780 Disney has a special...

00:36:21.260 All right.

00:36:21.860 Let's talk about

00:36:22.400 the Disney copyright thing

00:36:23.600 in a little more detail.

00:36:26.020 My problem with changing

00:36:28.740 the situation with Disney

00:36:30.260 has nothing to do

00:36:31.200 with whether the deal

00:36:32.160 they had was fair

00:36:33.780 or good.

00:36:35.260 That's not the point.

00:36:37.420 That should be irrelevant.

00:36:39.640 What should be relevant

00:36:40.840 is that you make a deal

00:36:42.280 and you do...

00:36:43.260 One of the reasons

00:36:44.460 you make deals

00:36:45.200 is to create

00:36:46.440 predictability.

00:36:48.140 Economies need

00:36:48.820 predictability.

00:36:50.340 Even if things

00:36:51.200 are inefficient,

00:36:52.480 people will adapt to it.

00:36:54.220 You don't want to

00:36:54.840 change things

00:36:55.480 midstream.

00:36:56.220 That's just a bad

00:36:57.120 economic thing,

00:36:58.920 always.

00:37:00.620 Imagine if you had

00:37:01.460 invested in real estate

00:37:02.600 for years

00:37:03.220 and you were going

00:37:04.140 to retire

00:37:04.580 and you'd done well

00:37:05.420 and then the government

00:37:06.620 says,

00:37:07.060 we're going to take away

00:37:07.820 all of your tax benefits

00:37:09.140 for your life's work.

00:37:12.600 They could do that

00:37:13.560 and it wouldn't even

00:37:15.020 be unfair

00:37:15.600 because you made

00:37:16.780 all your money

00:37:17.240 with an unfair

00:37:18.180 tax benefit.

00:37:20.100 You worked all your life.

00:37:21.540 You used those set

00:37:22.600 of rules that you

00:37:23.380 believed would be stable

00:37:24.420 and then at the end

00:37:25.640 they said,

00:37:26.000 you know,

00:37:26.760 I think you actually

00:37:27.420 owe us all those taxes

00:37:28.540 that we told you

00:37:29.560 you didn't have to pay

00:37:30.360 because we can.

00:37:31.580 We're the government

00:37:32.160 and it wasn't really fair

00:37:33.800 that you got all those

00:37:34.540 breaks in the past

00:37:35.340 so we're going to

00:37:36.000 make you pay it back

00:37:36.740 because other people

00:37:38.160 didn't get those breaks.

00:37:39.760 Would you be okay

00:37:40.380 with that?

00:37:41.960 See,

00:37:42.160 there's a larger

00:37:44.180 economic,

00:37:46.940 let's say,

00:37:49.120 I don't know,

00:37:50.120 I wouldn't call it

00:37:50.580 a guideline

00:37:51.160 but sort of a

00:37:52.400 thing that you

00:37:54.040 can't ignore

00:37:54.660 which is when you

00:37:56.220 make things

00:37:56.760 unpredictable

00:37:57.500 it ruins the economy.

00:37:59.300 Now,

00:37:59.920 this is just

00:38:00.480 one small special case

00:38:02.180 so if you say

00:38:03.460 to yourself,

00:38:04.080 Scott,

00:38:04.440 this is such a special case

00:38:05.820 this isn't going to

00:38:06.560 ruin any economy

00:38:07.400 this is just bad

00:38:08.360 for Disney

00:38:08.800 and you don't like them

00:38:10.600 to which I say

00:38:11.900 you don't want to

00:38:12.480 make this a precedent

00:38:13.360 you know,

00:38:14.660 anytime you can

00:38:15.700 not change a rule

00:38:16.580 that's the way to go

00:38:17.380 right?

00:38:18.720 Anytime you have

00:38:19.440 the option

00:38:19.780 of not changing

00:38:20.420 things,

00:38:20.800 do it.

00:38:21.240 Now,

00:38:21.480 an exception would be

00:38:22.220 if you've got

00:38:22.600 a bunch of

00:38:23.120 health and safety

00:38:23.960 things that don't work

00:38:25.120 of course you want

00:38:26.420 to change those

00:38:26.980 but if something

00:38:28.480 sort of cruising

00:38:29.940 along

00:38:30.520 and I would say

00:38:31.580 that the Disney

00:38:32.260 copyright problem

00:38:33.300 wasn't causing

00:38:34.500 any problem

00:38:35.020 for anybody

00:38:35.560 was it?

00:38:36.540 Like nobody

00:38:37.160 was worse off

00:38:38.120 because Mickey Mouse

00:38:39.260 is a protected

00:38:40.780 copyright.

00:38:41.440 Nobody.

00:38:42.140 Nobody was worse off.

00:38:44.220 It didn't hurt

00:38:44.640 anybody.

00:38:45.840 And it probably

00:38:46.420 allowed Disney

00:38:47.080 to grow into

00:38:47.740 the robust business

00:38:48.720 that probably

00:38:49.940 contributes to

00:38:50.900 Florida in a lot

00:38:51.700 of ways.

00:38:51.980 so changing

00:38:54.300 deals I just

00:38:55.380 have a

00:38:55.940 I admit

00:38:58.440 it's partly

00:38:59.260 emotional.

00:39:00.540 When you change

00:39:01.280 a deal

00:39:01.660 I just get

00:39:02.620 really angry.

00:39:04.000 Just don't like

00:39:04.660 it at all.

00:39:05.220 But some of

00:39:05.640 that's on me,

00:39:06.400 right?

00:39:06.720 So I'm projecting

00:39:07.420 from my personal

00:39:08.820 preferences.

00:39:14.640 A micro lesson

00:39:15.560 on finding the

00:39:16.320 truth.

00:39:17.940 I don't know

00:39:18.660 if I can make

00:39:19.240 that micro but

00:39:20.020 it is a big

00:39:20.600 subject of my

00:39:21.860 book Loser

00:39:22.520 Think.

00:39:23.060 It's sort of

00:39:23.540 the main theme.

00:39:24.500 So it would

00:39:24.920 be hard to

00:39:25.480 summarize that

00:39:26.900 entire body

00:39:27.480 but I might

00:39:27.900 be able to

00:39:28.240 do that.

00:39:29.280 I'll try that.

00:39:33.140 Mickey was

00:39:33.840 around before

00:39:34.820 Disney World

00:39:37.200 but it's a

00:39:38.800 big part of it.

00:39:40.000 Alright,

00:39:40.320 that's all for

00:39:40.700 now.

00:39:41.140 I'll talk to

00:39:42.200 you tomorrow.

00:39:43.920 I'm not sure

00:39:44.580 about the time

00:39:45.420 difference but

00:39:46.060 we'll see how

00:39:46.660 that works.

00:39:47.200 Bye.
