Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1746 Scott Adams： Headlines and Coffee. UFOs And Ukraine. More

00:00:00.000 And then we will be back to normal schedule. Won't you be happy? I know I will be. Sleeping is pretty hard on here.

00:00:09.000 Now, how about the simultaneous sip? Anybody? Anybody? All you need is a paper cup and a vessel of any kind. Fill me with your favorite liquid, because I like coffee.

00:00:24.000 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure. The dopamine for the day thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Go.

00:00:38.000 Yeah, that's better. And Monica, go take care of yourself. Don't wait for this. 0.99

00:00:47.000 So, yeah, the baby birds outside that sound like screaming babies is quite a big thing.

00:00:55.000 And we're going to talk about the news. I just started looking at it, but it's very newsy today.

00:01:02.000 So, Congress is holding a, or did, a presentation about UFOs, which they haven't done since the 60s.

00:01:11.000 What do you think? Do you think UFOs are real or just something that's a visual sighting, but there's nothing real there?

00:01:20.000 What do you think? How many say UFOs are real? Now, real could be either aliens or some other entity, but are they actually ships?

00:01:33.000 What do you think? I'm going to say strong no. Strong no for me.

00:01:41.000 And here's why. Apparently, Adam Schiff was involved in this Congressional UFO thing.

00:01:51.000 I was sort of leaning pro-UFO until I saw that Adam Schiff might think they're real.

00:01:58.000 And then I started thinking, I think this is a setup. There's a little foreshadowing going on here.

00:02:04.000 Because it's possible that Russia will be, let's say, taken out of the 2024 election in America.

00:02:14.000 Because the war might just occupy them, and who knows if Putin will even be there.

00:02:19.000 So they need a new Russia. 0.97

00:02:22.000 Now, the thing Russia had going for it is that you could blame them of bad stuff.

00:02:26.000 And even when they said, no, we didn't do it, you wouldn't believe them, and you couldn't check.

00:02:32.000 You see where I'm going?

00:02:34.000 Blaming Russia, like the Russia collusion hoax.

00:02:38.000 You could blame Russia, and people would think, yeah, Russia would do something like that.

00:02:44.000 But they're denying it. But they lie.

00:02:47.000 So maybe they did.

00:02:49.000 It's sort of the perfect entity to blame.

00:02:51.000 There's only one better.

00:02:52.000 If Russia isn't available for the Democrats to blame?

00:02:56.000 UFOs.

00:02:58.000 Yeah, do you think that we're going to have a UFOs affect the voting machines problem in 2024?

00:03:06.000 Okay, not really, but it's funny to think about it.

00:03:10.000 You put Adam Schiff on the UFO committee, and I start to think he's going to come up with a UFO collusion hoax.

00:03:17.000 You know what I mean?

00:03:18.000 Well, here's my argument.

00:03:23.000 I don't care how many sensors see a UFO.

00:03:27.000 I don't care how many eyewitnesses.

00:03:30.000 If you can't get a clear picture, there's no UFO.

00:03:35.000 No, if your only picture is a smudge, there's no UFO.

00:03:39.000 There's another one that's hilariously, quite obviously, some kind of a fast-forward button on an interface that's just a perfect triangle.

00:03:52.000 And it's lit up.

00:03:53.000 I'm looking at it, and I think, that's not a UFO.

00:03:56.000 That's clearly a component from an American user interface.

00:04:00.000 It's just a triangle that's glowing.

00:04:04.000 I have, I'm pretty sure I have glowing triangles on several of my devices.

00:04:09.000 It's called fast-forward.

00:04:11.000 Yeah, it seems like all these cameras would get a better picture than the smudge.

00:04:19.000 Well, most of the news is about Elon Musk today.

00:04:23.000 He's like the new Trump in terms of drawing all of our attention.

00:04:26.000 So, here are some of the things that Elon Musk did just yesterday.

00:04:32.000 Alright, so this is just one day of Elon Musk.

00:04:35.000 He gave some kind of an interview and a podcast.

00:04:39.000 And he said, although he's voted overwhelmingly for Democrats, Musk has,

00:04:44.000 he slammed the Democratic Party and Biden in particular.

00:04:47.000 And he actually called Biden, you know, basically he was saying that Biden was sort of an empty suit.

00:04:54.000 And he said, quote, the real president is whoever controls the teleprompter.

00:04:59.000 The Tesla CEO said, the path to power is the path to the teleprompter.

00:05:05.000 And he, quote, I do want someone to accidentally lean on the teleprompter.

00:05:12.000 It's going to be like Anchorman, you know, the movie Anchorman.

00:05:15.000 The CEO added, referencing the 2004 film, the Ron Burgundy movie.

00:05:19.000 Now, how awesome is that, that Elon Musk was just dumping on the president?

00:05:27.000 But he says he's, you know, he's voted overwhelmingly Democrat.

00:05:31.000 He is, however, not Republican.

00:05:33.000 And he wants you to know that he's a moderate.

00:05:36.000 He's neither, he's neither too Republican nor too Democrat.

00:05:39.000 And he also said that that might be the perfect situation for buying Twitter.

00:05:45.000 Because he's neither too left nor too right.

00:05:48.000 How many of you saw the Project Veritas, the newest film of Twitter employees?

00:05:55.000 There's a brand new one yesterday.

00:05:57.000 How many of you saw that?

00:05:58.000 You know, I didn't think that Project Veritas exactly had limits on Twitter with their prior stuff.

00:06:09.000 The prior stuff was good.

00:06:11.000 And it definitely raised lots of questions.

00:06:14.000 But this one's just a whole new level.

00:06:16.000 Now, somebody who's seen it, do a fact check on me in the comments.

00:06:21.000 And make sure that I'm characterizing this correctly.

00:06:24.000 Because it's like, it's simple and confusing at the same time.

00:06:28.000 I believe that the employee who was talking, a Twitter employee who was on the hidden camera, Project Veritas,

00:06:37.000 said that they do consciously censor or suppress the Republican or the right.

00:06:48.000 And he said that the reason that they do that intentionally is the following.

00:06:54.000 If they don't suppress the right, the people on the left will complain like crazy.

00:07:00.000 And it'll be a problem.

00:07:01.000 They'll leave the platform.

00:07:03.000 But if you suppress...

00:07:07.000 Wait, yeah.

00:07:08.000 So if you suppress the right, the left will stay on the platform.

00:07:12.000 If you suppress the left, the left will leave the platform.

00:07:16.000 So they're saying that the right can take a punch.

00:07:20.000 So that their idea of fairness is to double punish the people who are already getting punished.

00:07:30.000 Is that right?

00:07:33.000 They're going to double punish the people who are already punished or something like that?

00:07:36.000 Like, it absolutely didn't make sense because it all just boiled down to we're biased against the right.

00:07:44.000 But the reasoning that they gave was sort of a business reason that doesn't feel too good when you try to say it in your own mouth.

00:07:53.000 You're like, okay, I sort of understood that, kind of, not really.

00:07:56.000 What?

00:07:58.000 And you can tell that muddy thinking is a real tell.

00:08:03.000 That they can't even explain it in any way that can be justified, basically.

00:08:06.000 It's just pure bias.

00:08:09.000 So, that happened.

00:08:12.000 Now, imagine that happening and Twitter's right in the middle of this acquisition.

00:08:19.000 Now, you may know that Elon Musk also questioned the number of bots.

00:08:25.000 Now, I think the CEO of Twitter refers to it as spam, as opposed to, so they're bots and they're spam.

00:08:32.000 And I don't know if those are exactly the same category, but in both cases they're things that shouldn't be on the platform.

00:08:39.000 And if advertisers are paying for the number of users who are seeing their content, you have to subtract out, you know, fake accounts.

00:08:49.000 Because those don't count.

00:08:51.000 So, I guess Twitter is claiming 5%, or under 5%.

00:08:55.000 And they've got a whole system and they, you know, they remove a zillion accounts a day.

00:09:00.000 So, they're working really hard to reduce them.

00:09:03.000 And they say they've succeeded to under 5%.

00:09:05.000 Elon has challenged them in public by saying he thinks it's at least 20%.

00:09:12.000 Now, what's happening?

00:09:17.000 So, Twitter says 5%.

00:09:20.000 Elon Musk is trying to buy the company.

00:09:22.000 And he says 20%.

00:09:24.000 What's happening?

00:09:26.000 They're negotiating.

00:09:28.000 And Elon Musk is negotiating in public.

00:09:31.000 I saw some people, I'll get into a further story about this.

00:09:35.000 Some upstanding citizens, some blue check people saying that, oh, don't do this.

00:09:40.000 You know, don't be talking like this in public.

00:09:43.000 Because he had an exchange with the Twitter CEO on Twitter.

00:09:46.000 And they felt it was like, sort of icky and seamless.

00:09:50.000 Not seamless, but it was just not a good look.

00:09:54.000 To which I said, it's a really good rule to not take your business, your business laundry out and show it to everybody.

00:10:06.000 Right?

00:10:07.000 That's a good rule.

00:10:08.000 So you can see where they're coming from.

00:10:10.000 There is one exception.

00:10:12.000 The one exception to the don't drag your business laundry in front of everybody would be, what's the one exception?

00:10:19.000 The one exception, just one.

00:10:22.000 One exception.

00:10:24.000 If you can pull it off.

00:10:26.000 That's it.

00:10:27.000 You know, I know you're going to say, if it's negotiating or if it's Elon Musk, those are good answers.

00:10:33.000 But I'm going to say, the only time you should do that is if you can pull it off.

00:10:38.000 Now, how many people could pull that off?

00:10:40.000 Trump.

00:10:42.000 Right?

00:10:43.000 Trump could pull it off.

00:10:45.000 Elon Musk.

00:10:47.000 Right?

00:10:48.000 But they're not the only ones.

00:10:49.000 You know, Jeff Bezos could pull it off.

00:10:51.000 Mark Cuban could pull it off.

00:10:53.000 You know, there are a lot of people.

00:10:55.000 Yeah, Jeff Toobin can pull it off.

00:10:57.000 I saw that comment.

00:11:00.000 So I'm completely in favor of this.

00:11:03.000 Because it is full transparency, which is exactly what Musk said he was bringing to Twitter.

00:11:09.000 Why is it that you like, if you do, why is it that you like Musk buying Twitter?

00:11:14.000 Transparency.

00:11:15.000 That's what you want.

00:11:17.000 You just want to find out what's in there.

00:11:19.000 What are they doing to you?

00:11:21.000 And Elon Musk is taking his transparency to the public.

00:11:24.000 Putting it right on Twitter.

00:11:26.000 To which I say, good job.

00:11:29.000 That's exactly what I wanted.

00:11:30.000 I wanted to see this in public.

00:11:32.000 And the negotiation, I think, is solid.

00:11:35.000 So, here's where it gets fun.

00:11:38.000 It's sort of the way he's negotiating, too, that makes it extra spicy.

00:11:41.000 So, the Twitter CEO, I guess he felt he needed to do a long thread explaining why it is that they can't easily tell you how many people are spam or bots.

00:11:55.000 And so he goes through this long thread.

00:11:58.000 I think there might have been 20 tweets or something like that.

00:12:02.000 Very long.

00:12:03.000 Very detailed.

00:12:04.000 And the essence of the tweet was that it takes a combination of external information and proprietary internal information.

00:12:10.000 You have to put them together to find out how many bots and spam you have.

00:12:16.000 And unfortunately, they'd love to show people how they do it.

00:12:19.000 But the internal stuff is proprietary and they can't show you.

00:12:22.000 So, you can see some of the external stuff, but not the internal stuff.

00:12:25.000 So, you wouldn't really be able to determine anything they can't show you either.

00:12:30.000 What was Elon Musk's comment to a 20 thread tweet from the CEO of Twitter?

00:12:39.000 Now, remember, Twitter's company is buying.

00:12:42.000 So, he's also buying the CEO in a way, right?

00:12:45.000 If he stays there.

00:12:47.000 I doubt he will.

00:12:49.000 But if he does, he's buying that CEO.

00:12:51.000 And after that CEO gives a 20 or so tweet thread about all the complicated reasons that they can't show you the data,

00:13:02.000 Elon Musk retweets a turd.

00:13:07.000 A turd.

00:13:09.000 That's it.

00:13:12.000 Now, could that be more perfect?

00:13:18.000 Yes.

00:13:19.000 Yes, it could.

00:13:20.000 No, that wasn't the end. 0.99

00:13:22.000 He retweets a turd to a 20 tweet thread of bullshit from the CEO of Twitter, 1.00

00:13:30.000 which every single person who read it knew was bullshit. 0.99

00:13:33.000 100% of everybody who read that said, 0.99

00:13:36.000 well, that's not true.

00:13:38.000 I mean, I'm no expert on technology, but even I know that's not true.

00:13:42.000 And here's why Elon followed up with his turd.

00:13:46.000 After the CEO said, we cannot show you for sure how we know how many people are real followers,

00:13:54.000 Elon Musk, who is buying Twitter, said this.

00:13:58.000 If you can't confirm how many users you really have, how do your advertisers know what they're buying?

00:14:08.000 Boom.

00:14:09.000 I don't think I've ever seen a CEO dissected like that.

00:14:18.000 I mean, he was just disemboweled right in public.

00:14:22.000 I mean, Musk just slid him from, you know, from neck to belly button and just removed his bowels and threw it on the internet.

00:14:34.000 I've never seen anybody be destroyed that hard.

00:14:38.000 And I don't think he even answered.

00:14:40.000 Because what exactly is the answer to that?

00:14:44.000 Nothing. 0.98

00:14:46.000 There is no fucking answer to that. 0.99

00:14:49.000 If you can't confirm to your advertisers how many people are watching, you don't have a business. 1.00

00:15:01.000 So apparently their business is based on literally bullshit. 0.99

00:15:04.000 Now, what is all of this? 0.99

00:15:09.000 What would you call all of that exchange?

00:15:12.000 Negotiating.

00:15:14.000 It's negotiating.

00:15:16.000 He's just doing it in public.

00:15:18.000 And he's doing it in a funny way.

00:15:20.000 Honestly, it's just hilarious.

00:15:22.000 And do you know why it's funny?

00:15:24.000 Because it's just true.

00:15:25.000 And it's simple.

00:15:27.000 Do you know, do you know what is the trick to writing a good comic strip?

00:15:33.000 Or a good joke?

00:15:35.000 Well, there are a few elements you have to get right to make a joke work.

00:15:39.000 But the most basic part is, it has to be simple.

00:15:42.000 And it has to come across as true. 0.67

00:15:45.000 Or true in a funny way.

00:15:47.000 And he does that sort of reflexively.

00:15:50.000 So the reason that a lot of what Musk does is funny is because it's simple and true.

00:15:57.000 And you don't expect either one.

00:15:59.000 Nobody expects simple.

00:16:01.000 And nobody expects true.

00:16:02.000 But if you give both of you, it makes you laugh.

00:16:05.000 Because you're like, ah, that's simple and true.

00:16:09.000 So the turn was just perfect.

00:16:12.000 There was nothing else to say that was better than that.

00:16:14.000 All right.

00:16:16.000 Musk has also said that, you know, he says the reality is that Twitter at this point has a very far left bias.

00:16:23.000 And that he said, quote, I would trust myself as a moderate and neither Republican or Democrat.

00:16:30.000 So he's putting himself out there as having enough of a history of being on both sides.

00:16:36.000 He said he loved Obama.

00:16:37.000 Not loved him, but he thought Obama was solid.

00:16:43.000 And that Biden is beholden to the unions.

00:16:50.000 That feels about right, doesn't it?

00:16:54.000 He's definitely beholden to the school unions or the teachers unions.

00:16:58.000 So I think that sounds about right.

00:17:00.000 Again, that would be Elon Musk saying something that's both simple and true.

00:17:07.000 That Biden is just beholden to the unions and so therefore he's not effective.

00:17:13.000 That's it.

00:17:17.000 All right.

00:17:19.000 Now, here's the part where I always tell you.

00:17:22.000 Have I ever mentioned that I get dragged into the headlines a lot?

00:17:26.000 I've told you that, right?

00:17:27.000 In the weirdest possible ways.

00:17:30.000 I'm just minding my own business.

00:17:31.000 The next thing I'm in some kind of, I'm in some kind of story, national story.

00:17:35.000 I'm like, what?

00:17:37.000 Or I'll be reading an article about the news and suddenly it'll be about me. 0.97

00:17:42.000 It's the weirdest damn thing. 0.62

00:17:44.000 Well, this whole story I told you about, Elon Musk tweeting at the CEO of Twitter. 0.97

00:17:50.000 Somebody printed a Dilbert comic in the middle of that exchange.

00:17:54.000 It was a Dilbert comic in which Dilbert was telling his boss, roughly speaking, if I can paraphrase myself.

00:18:01.000 Dilbert was saying that the data is all useless because he can tweak the data with small changes of assumptions and it completely changes the results.

00:18:12.000 So since the data is completely dependent on his assumptions, which are just guesses, the data can't be used for anything and it's worthless.

00:18:22.000 And the boss replies, don't mention any of that stuff when you show it to the board.

00:18:27.000 Now, Elon actually responded to that with a, with a laughing happy face.

00:18:35.000 So suddenly I'm in the middle of that.

00:18:38.000 And then somebody else printed a Dilbert comic from a photograph of Elon Musk's office.

00:18:43.000 I guess he had a Dilbert comic on the wall.

00:18:45.000 So suddenly, oh, there's, there's the actual comic somebody's putting on the locals.

00:18:52.000 Over on locals you can paste images into the, uh, comments.

00:18:57.000 And I gotta tell you the comments are way more interesting.

00:19:00.000 Cause they got memes and when I talk about some, something somebody will show everybody else.

00:19:04.000 So as I'm talking, it's like they're seeing a slideshow from the other users of what it is I'm talking about.

00:19:11.000 It's a much better experience.

00:19:13.000 Um, that's a subscription, subscription service called locals.

00:19:17.000 You can find me there.

00:19:19.000 All right.

00:19:22.000 Let's talk about something else.

00:19:25.000 So there is, I just tweeted before I got on.

00:19:29.000 Uh, I think David Boxenhorn saw this on Twitter.

00:19:32.000 And there is a translated speech of a Russian general, I believe,

00:19:37.000 on some kind of a news program in Russia,

00:19:40.000 who is, uh, giving the Russian public a dose of truth

00:19:45.000 that I don't think anybody was ready for.

00:19:47.000 And you have to, you have to watch the whole thing.

00:19:49.000 It's worth, it's worth, almost everything he says is jaw dropping.

00:19:53.000 Because he's just giving the Russian people a military truth that they've never heard before.

00:19:59.000 And among the things he says are that the, uh, that the Ukrainians are about to, um, get a massive amount of weapons.

00:20:11.000 And that they will have one million armed fighters in Ukraine fairly soon.

00:20:17.000 Now, I don't know what soon means in this context, but, uh, this, this general clearly thought that soon was soon enough.

00:20:27.000 Meaning that the war would still be going on and those million people would be armed.

00:20:31.000 Now, the pushback is, well, these are, you know, volunteers and they'd be like conscripts.

00:20:40.000 So they wouldn't be very effective or they wouldn't be very professional.

00:20:44.000 And here's the thing that just blew my mind.

00:20:46.000 The general said, they're, basically said, they're fighting for their home country.

00:20:50.000 That's as professional as you can get, basically.

00:20:56.000 I have something on my mouth.

00:21:01.000 I don't, I, I can't tell if that was a comment about my content or my actual look.

00:21:06.000 Um, so his statement is that the Ukrainians are about to get massive amount of weapons and it's guaranteed because it's already in process. 0.99

00:21:19.000 And that modern weaponry will hit these Ukrainians who are fighting for their homeland.

00:21:23.000 And basically there's Russian is telling the, he's telling the Russian public that Ukraine is going to win this thing.

00:21:29.000 Now, he didn't say that exactly, but he said it.

00:21:34.000 He basically said Ukraine is going to win.

00:21:36.000 And he said there's, you can't beat them because they're going to be armed to the teeth.

00:21:40.000 There's going to be a million of them and they're fighting for their homeland and you can't beat them.

00:21:45.000 Basically.

00:21:47.000 You have to hear it.

00:21:48.000 It's jaw dropping.

00:21:50.000 Now, I don't know if that guy will be alive tomorrow.

00:21:55.000 Because he was so honest about what's going on there.

00:22:00.000 I don't know.

00:22:01.000 I don't know how he can survive that, honestly.

00:22:03.000 I mean, I think he'll be in jail by tomorrow.

00:22:06.000 Um, but at the same time, CNN is, and I think Fox News too, is reporting that the Ukrainians are moving out of Mariupol.

00:22:14.000 They're, they're surrendering there.

00:22:16.000 And their steel plant, the ones who are trapped there are in bad shape.

00:22:20.000 So it does look like Russia is making some, you know, mopping up their victory there. 0.52

00:22:26.000 Um, and they're shelling in the West.

00:22:29.000 So if you were to read the headlines today, it would look like Russia's winning.

00:22:35.000 Just based on the very little stuff that we're hearing, it looks like Russia's winning.

00:22:39.000 And then you hear this Russian general on Russian TV saying,

00:22:44.000 there's no way we can beat that, basically.

00:22:47.000 There's no way we can beat them.

00:22:49.000 It's just amazing.

00:22:51.000 Um, so who knows if that's true.

00:22:55.000 So I looked at what, uh, Fox is covering versus what CNN is covering.

00:23:01.000 And every now and then the news will be similar.

00:23:04.000 Have you noticed that?

00:23:06.000 The news will be similar on, uh, CNN and on Fox News.

00:23:10.000 Not today.

00:23:12.000 It's like there are two different worlds that are being reported on.

00:23:15.000 Over on CNN, the only things that matter are the Buffalo mass shooting.

00:23:19.000 Huh, why is that so important? 0.95

00:23:21.000 Oh, could it be because it's a white supremacist?

00:23:24.000 And it fits into their Republicans or a white supremacist narrative?

00:23:28.000 Yes, that's why.

00:23:30.000 So I think the top, uh, ten stories are all about the Buffalo shooting.

00:23:35.000 How many of the top ten stories on, uh, Fox News are about the Buffalo shooting?

00:23:40.000 I don't think any.

00:23:42.000 So there's an entirely different news world on CNN today.

00:23:45.000 Completely different.

00:23:47.000 Um, Fox News has the UFO story.

00:23:50.000 And then the rest of CNN is about abortion law.

00:23:54.000 So the two topics that would be best for Democrats to win elections would be the mass shooting, because they don't have much.

00:24:04.000 They don't have accomplishments to work on.

00:24:06.000 So they have to work on Republican problems.

00:24:09.000 Right?

00:24:11.000 They have no accomplishments.

00:24:13.000 They have to focus on criticizing Republicans.

00:24:15.000 Now, has there ever been a sitting administration?

00:24:20.000 This will blow your mind, by the way.

00:24:22.000 Here, here's another thought that I would expect to be on the mainstream media pretty soon.

00:24:27.000 Uh, have you ever seen an incumbent running for office without talking about accomplishments and only talking about how the other team is bad and you better elect us so that you don't get that bad stuff? 1.00

00:24:40.000 And the argument is, you asshole, we elected you and we still got a white supremacist blowing up a grocery store with guns. 1.00

00:24:50.000 Right? 1.00

00:24:52.000 Isn't the argument for the incumbent, I've done a good job, look at my accomplishments, wouldn't you like more of these?

00:24:59.000 That's how it's supposed to work, right?

00:25:01.000 And then the one who's challenging doesn't have any accomplishments.

00:25:06.000 So the challenger has to simply criticize.

00:25:09.000 That's always the way it is, right?

00:25:12.000 I'm not wrong about that.

00:25:14.000 You should have the, the challenger should be a criticizer.

00:25:17.000 The incumbent should be an accomplishment person.

00:25:19.000 But because Biden has no accomplishments, CNN is trying to give them a boost by talking only about the shooting, which they would say is a gun control problem.

00:25:30.000 So they would, that's their narrative against the Republicans.

00:25:34.000 And the abortion law thing, which is just another narrative against the Republicans.

00:25:37.000 Both of these are Democrat failures, aren't they?

00:25:43.000 Because the Democrats wanted to keep abortion the way it was, but it's not.

00:25:48.000 So that's a Democrat failure, even though there's nothing they could do about it because they don't have the majority.

00:25:52.000 But it's a failure in terms of policy.

00:25:54.000 And then the, the shooting happened, you know, a year into Biden's administration, and I don't believe there are any laws that he's passed that would have changed it.

00:26:07.000 Am I right?

00:26:09.000 Did Biden do anything?

00:26:11.000 That, let's say, did he even attempt anything?

00:26:14.000 That if he had succeeded, would have stopped this shooting?

00:26:17.000 Nothing, right?

00:26:19.000 So why are they blaming this on the Republicans when they have control of everything and they didn't do a damn thing?

00:26:25.000 So this is the weakest, the weakest administration I've ever seen, by far, I think.

00:26:33.000 I mean, certainly in my life, it's the weakest administration.

00:26:36.000 Where if you can literally have the richest man in the world say,

00:26:40.000 I think whoever runs the teleprompter is in charge, and even his own side will say, yeah, that's not, that's not too far.

00:26:47.000 Even if you disagree with that statement, that whoever runs the teleprompter controls the country right now, even if you disagree, you do not say to yourself, that's taking it too far.

00:26:59.000 Right?

00:27:00.000 The most you can disagree with that is a little bit.

00:27:05.000 That's it.

00:27:06.000 That's all that's left.

00:27:07.000 All right.

00:27:08.000 All right.

00:27:09.000 And I guess I saw in the five yesterday that the NBC poll has Biden at the lowest historic point.

00:27:20.000 It's one of the worst, one of the worst approval ratings for a president of all time, I guess.

00:27:24.000 They ended energy independence.

00:27:30.000 Yeah, they did some things.

00:27:32.000 They did some things.

00:27:36.000 All right.

00:27:38.000 The FBI is 0 and 20 on stopping actual terrorists.

00:27:42.000 Well, I do wonder why we have not had more foreign terrorists on our soil in a long time. 0.99

00:27:49.000 Does anybody understand that?

00:27:50.000 How do you explain that?

00:27:55.000 Seriously.

00:27:57.000 How is it that with all the people and all the access to the country and all the technology and all the, you know, the size of things that you need to bring in to be bad is, you know, small.

00:28:10.000 Right?

00:28:11.000 I mean, 9-11 happened with box cutters, right?

00:28:14.000 So, it's not like they have to smuggle anything in and it's easy to get people in again.

00:28:20.000 So, why are we not seeing terrorists acts like crazy?

00:28:25.000 Is it because the terrorists don't want to do it?

00:28:28.000 Because they think we'll be too tough on them back in their home country or something?

00:28:33.000 Is that why?

00:28:35.000 Or, where are we so good at monitoring communication that we find them all?

00:28:41.000 I feel like it's that second one.

00:28:42.000 Because it seems like there would always be somebody who wanted and have the means to do a terrorist attack.

00:28:53.000 You know, you don't really run out of people who want to do it, do you?

00:28:57.000 I don't think so.

00:28:58.000 I feel as though we must be able to catch them all.

00:29:02.000 And the only way that's possible is if we're monitoring all communications basically everywhere with our foreign entities, foreign partners.

00:29:12.000 And that our AI can catch everybody.

00:29:16.000 Let me say that again.

00:29:18.000 I don't believe it would be any possibility that we would be so terrorism-free, relatively speaking, from foreign terrorists, the domestic ones we still have for some reason. 0.96

00:29:30.000 No, not for some reason.

00:29:31.000 Let's be honest. 0.99

00:29:32.000 The reason that this asshole shot up a buffalo store is that the authorities decided not to do anything about it. 0.99

00:29:42.000 Because he had been reported as a danger. 0.99

00:29:46.000 Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but this is yet again another case where people had all the warning in the world.

00:29:52.000 But they couldn't do anything about it. 0.98

00:29:54.000 Because he was mentally ill. 0.75

00:29:56.000 So here's why we can stop a foreign terrorist. 1.00

00:29:59.000 Because there's nothing to stop us from stopping them.

00:30:03.000 There's no law that says, no, don't stop that foreign terrorist. 0.99

00:30:08.000 But what happens if it's a domestic terrorist?

00:30:11.000 We actually have laws that won't let you do anything about it.

00:30:16.000 Because they're going to say, well, it's free speech, legal gun ownership, and we don't put mentally ill people in any kind of institution against their will.

00:30:29.000 If it were a foreign person who also happened to be mentally ill, we would lock them up right away. 1.00

00:30:39.000 Am I right? 0.99

00:30:41.000 If it were a foreign terrorist, they would just get locked up or killed right away. 0.83

00:30:44.000 The domestic ones can slip through, not because they're undetected. 0.97

00:30:51.000 They slip through detected.

00:30:54.000 Detected.

00:30:55.000 So this is telling me the following.

00:30:58.000 That our AI and our digital surveillance of basically everything must be so good that the AI can catch 100% of foreign terrorists. 0.98

00:31:11.000 It's got to be true. 0.62

00:31:14.000 It's got to be true. 0.62

00:31:16.000 No, it's not.

00:31:17.000 That's too far.

00:31:18.000 It doesn't have to be true.

00:31:20.000 I'm saying that I can't think of another explanation.

00:31:23.000 But remember, I'm also an author of a book in which I warn you, just because you can't think of another explanation, that has nothing to do with whether there's another explanation.

00:31:36.000 It has everything to do with your inability to imagine other things.

00:31:41.000 So if you can't imagine any other possibility, it might be a problem with your imagination.

00:31:48.000 That's the UFO thing.

00:31:49.000 The reason that I'm not a believer in these UFOs is because the argument is we can't imagine what else they would be.

00:31:59.000 That's the argument.

00:32:01.000 It's not that we've confirmed it.

00:32:03.000 We simply have the failure of imagination to imagine what it could be given our observation.

00:32:10.000 It's just a failure of imagination.

00:32:11.000 So when I see a UFO story, I don't see UFOs, I go, oh, there's a bunch of people who have an imagination failure.

00:32:18.000 Right?

00:32:20.000 Because if it were a UFO problem, we'd have a frickin' photograph by now.

00:32:25.000 It wouldn't look like a smudge. 0.98

00:32:27.000 It'd look like a damn UFO by now. 0.99

00:32:32.000 Right? 0.99

00:32:33.000 Now, what did I do?

00:32:34.000 I just did it again.

00:32:35.000 I just basically told you I couldn't imagine a situation where there wouldn't be a clear photo by now.

00:32:42.000 But could there be a situation in which there would not be a clear photo and yet there could be real UFOs?

00:32:48.000 Yes.

00:32:49.000 And that situation could be the UFOs don't want to be seen.

00:32:52.000 So they either move fast or they move at night or they have some technology that makes it difficult.

00:32:59.000 You know, whatever.

00:33:00.000 So sure.

00:33:01.000 Yeah.

00:33:02.000 So if you accept that they're alien visitors with high tech, then anything's in play.

00:33:09.000 Right?

00:33:10.000 Oh, they're high tech and baffle your cameras.

00:33:14.000 So I guess anything's possible.

00:33:21.000 Could be hidden from us.

00:33:23.000 You never know.

00:33:24.000 It's the Romulans. 0.71

00:33:31.000 I think it's the Romulans. 0.69

00:33:35.000 So how many of you have been convinced?

00:33:38.000 Maybe either from something I said or something somebody else said.

00:33:42.000 That we do, let's say, I'm going to say, you're at least open to the possibility.

00:33:48.000 So you don't have to have decided.

00:33:50.000 How many of you are open to the possibility that this reality is actually a simulation created by another civilization?

00:33:59.000 How many are open to it as of today?

00:34:02.000 Over on Locals?

00:34:05.000 Yes, yes, yes.

00:34:06.000 And open, open, open, open.

00:34:09.000 Unbelievable.

00:34:11.000 I would not have imagined that.

00:34:13.000 Oh, my goodness.

00:34:15.000 I'm seeing those.

00:34:18.000 Yeah, we're definitely seeing those.

00:34:21.000 Amazing.

00:34:22.000 The vast majority of you are actually open to the possibility.

00:34:28.000 May I compliment you?

00:34:30.000 May I compliment you?

00:34:32.000 That is exactly, intellectually, where you should be.

00:34:35.000 Because the trouble with the theory, or the advantage of it, is that you can't really rule it out easily.

00:34:42.000 It's based on statistics, and the argument is so simple that everybody can understand the argument.

00:34:49.000 So if you have an appreciation for statistics, that's all you need.

00:34:54.000 If you're aware of the fact that 10 to 1 is more likely than 2 to 1, that's all you need.

00:35:02.000 It doesn't require any other physical understanding of anything.

00:35:10.000 No blood in a sin?

00:35:12.000 No, no, no.

00:35:13.000 You said Neil, who was it?

00:35:21.000 Degrassi?

00:35:23.000 You ruled it out?

00:35:24.000 You can't rule it out.

00:35:26.000 That's not a thing.

00:35:28.000 All right.

00:35:32.000 So, statistics may be shaped by the simulation.

00:35:37.000 It could be that math and statistics are the only things you can't tweak within the simulation.

00:35:44.000 But I suppose you could.

00:35:45.000 I mean, you could make it seem like the odds of things are different than they are.

00:35:49.000 That's just software.

00:35:52.000 He has an explanation that makes it unlikely.

00:35:55.000 No, he doesn't.

00:35:56.000 I mean, I'm sure he, I believe he would say he said that.

00:36:00.000 But I do not believe that if you read a counter to this simulation theory that it would look like anything but word salad.

00:36:08.000 I think it would look like word salad.

00:36:11.000 But that's why I want to say it.

00:36:12.000 So send it to me.

00:36:14.000 All right.

00:36:15.000 Simulation theory isn't useful because it's not falsifiable.

00:36:24.000 Let me deal with that.

00:36:27.000 If we are a simulation, would it be useful to know it?

00:36:33.000 It could be.

00:36:35.000 There's no way to know.

00:36:36.000 But it could be.

00:36:37.000 And here's why.

00:36:39.000 I'm trying to understand why affirmations seem to work.

00:36:42.000 I'm trying to understand why I seem to have the ability to move the entire planet.

00:36:51.000 Because I can't tell you everything I've ever done, but I have moved the whole planet a number of times.

00:36:58.000 And some of them you saw, but mostly you haven't.

00:37:02.000 And I can't understand that.

00:37:04.000 You know, am I one in a billion people who have some ability to make crazy things happen in reality?

00:37:13.000 I don't know.

00:37:15.000 Can't rule it out.

00:37:17.000 But it seems unlikely.

00:37:18.000 A billion to one.

00:37:20.000 So, I can't explain it unless the simulation allows you to steer your reality within the game.

00:37:28.000 Look at the people who believe in the simulation, not the people who are open to it.

00:37:34.000 I'm talking about the people who buy into it.

00:37:36.000 I buy into it.

00:37:38.000 It is my reality for all practical purposes.

00:37:42.000 Meaning that I see it, I perceive it, I live it like it's a simulation.

00:37:46.000 Here's one of the things that I can do in a simulation that I can't do in the real world.

00:37:55.000 Change the real world.

00:37:57.000 Change something big in politics.

00:38:01.000 But you've seen me do it a number of times, if you're paying attention, you've seen it.

00:38:05.000 And just trust me that the big stuff, I can never tell you about.

00:38:09.000 You know.

00:38:11.000 But there are far bigger things that I've been involved with that you could ever imagine.

00:38:16.000 Well, maybe you can imagine.

00:38:18.000 But I can't explain it.

00:38:20.000 Now, let's take somebody who's not me.

00:38:22.000 Let's take Elon Musk, because he's the example of everything, it turns out.

00:38:28.000 Elon Musk apparently believes the simulation.

00:38:33.000 That's what he tells us.

00:38:34.000 Somebody's asking, then why did you mail it?

00:38:38.000 Marriage fail?

00:38:40.000 Did it?

00:38:42.000 Well, let me ask you this.

00:38:44.000 I'm writing a book on reframing, so I tend to see things in reframes now.

00:38:49.000 I've just tuned my mind to that.

00:38:51.000 If you have a marriage, and it lasts several years, and it was good, 0.75

00:38:57.000 it was good enough that you stayed in it several years and had, you know, tons of good things happen.

00:39:02.000 And then it ends.

00:39:05.000 Is that a failure?

00:39:07.000 Suppose you started a company and it operated for a hundred years.

00:39:11.000 And then it went out of business.

00:39:13.000 Is the company a failure?

00:39:15.000 Suppose you had a child.

00:39:18.000 The child grew up, had a career, raised kids.

00:39:22.000 But then the child got old, became a senior citizen.

00:39:26.000 And when the child is 90 years old, the child dies.

00:39:29.000 No longer a child.

00:39:30.000 Is that life a loss?

00:39:34.000 I mean, in a sense, was it a failure?

00:39:36.000 No.

00:39:38.000 I mean, it was successful until it wasn't.

00:39:40.000 So, you know, having had two marriages in my background now, I can tell you that both of them were amazing while they were happening.

00:39:51.000 They were amazing while they were happening.

00:39:54.000 But then things change.

00:39:56.000 Situation changes for whatever reason.

00:39:59.000 Who knows?

00:40:00.000 Things change.

00:40:01.000 And then it doesn't work.

00:40:03.000 And then when something doesn't work, what are you supposed to do about it?

00:40:07.000 Are you supposed to just stay with it?

00:40:09.000 Or, you know, just because you don't want to lose or quit?

00:40:15.000 You don't want to fail?

00:40:17.000 No.

00:40:19.000 Life is about change.

00:40:21.000 Life is about change.

00:40:22.000 Continuous change.

00:40:23.000 Life is about change.

00:40:24.000 So when things change, you adjust.

00:40:27.000 And it's painful.

00:40:29.000 Because almost all change has some pain with it, right?

00:40:31.000 There's friction.

00:40:33.000 So if you're saying to yourself,

00:40:34.000 Scott, did the end of your either marriage, either one of them, was it sad?

00:40:41.000 I would say, well, I'm not even sure.

00:40:44.000 Yes.

00:40:45.000 I mean, you know, you have bad emotions associated with it.

00:40:48.000 You're angry, you're sad, whatever you are.

00:40:50.000 And that's temporary.

00:40:52.000 And then something else happens.

00:40:54.000 Right?

00:40:55.000 So I don't feel as if these are pass-fail courses.

00:40:59.000 Life is not pass-fail.

00:41:02.000 Life is managing change.

00:41:05.000 So the question you should have asked is,

00:41:07.000 Scott, how well did you manage the change?

00:41:13.000 That might be a...

00:41:14.000 I think I might have to make that a chapter in my book.

00:41:16.000 How well did I manage the change?

00:41:19.000 And the answer is, pretty well.

00:41:21.000 Pretty well.

00:41:23.000 I mean, I'm intact.

00:41:25.000 I feel like all my limbs are here.

00:41:29.000 You know, I still have a job.

00:41:31.000 I'm in good shape.

00:41:34.000 I'm literally in good shape.

00:41:35.000 I'm actually physically fit more than any time in my life.

00:41:40.000 As I'm...

00:41:41.000 I'm approaching...

00:41:43.000 What's today?

00:41:44.000 Like three weeks or so, I'll be 65.

00:41:48.000 And I'm literally the fittest I've ever been.

00:41:51.000 Well, at least visually, yeah.

00:41:52.000 I can't run as far, probably.

00:41:54.000 But...

00:41:55.000 I don't know.

00:41:56.000 I'm not really suffering.

00:41:59.000 Does it look like I'm suffering?

00:42:01.000 So, when you say to me,

00:42:03.000 Scott, you did not succeed in maintaining your marriage.

00:42:06.000 I say,

00:42:09.000 I'm not sure that that was the right frame.

00:42:13.000 The frame should have been,

00:42:14.000 how did you manage...

00:42:18.000 Let me just say something.

00:42:19.000 Some of you won't recognize this story.

00:42:21.000 But there's a factoid I'd like to drop into the conversation

00:42:24.000 for the few of you who do.

00:42:27.000 There's something that happened with a cult leader

00:42:31.000 that what you don't know...

00:42:34.000 Basically, he messaged Christina at some point.

00:42:38.000 And she responded with a kissy face. 0.91

00:42:41.000 Which she showed me, by the way.

00:42:42.000 It wasn't a secret.

00:42:44.000 Do you know how many times Christina has responded with a kissy face

00:42:49.000 to a man who flirted with her online?

00:42:52.000 Just guess how many times that's happened.

00:42:56.000 Just go to her feed and look at her feed. 0.91

00:42:59.000 It's the primary response she does.

00:43:02.000 I've seen her give a kissy face response to a man flirting with her. 0.99

00:43:07.000 A thousand times?

00:43:09.000 Maybe?

00:43:10.000 I don't think that's an exaggeration.

00:43:12.000 I think I've seen her do it a thousand times.

00:43:15.000 Now, this guy Tate, who's some kind of weirdo.

00:43:21.000 He's decided that that means he stole my wife.

00:43:24.000 There are two things that he is unaware of.

00:43:28.000 Number one, it's a generic response.

00:43:32.000 Number two, it was six months after our relationship had ended.

00:43:37.000 It's just that I wasn't talking about it in public.

00:43:40.000 So he thought it happened during the relationship, but it was well after she and I were beyond saving the marriage.

00:43:50.000 So it wasn't anything that bothered me.

00:43:51.000 So in other words, had she responded any way she wanted, it would have been fine with me, because at that time anything was fair game.

00:44:00.000 All right, so I'll just put that out there.

00:44:04.000 Can you not ask me about that anymore?

00:44:11.000 Yeah, no more hypothetical questions.

00:44:13.000 No more, no more of that.

00:44:15.000 That's all we need to say about that.

00:44:17.000 All right.

00:44:19.000 Is there any other news that I'm missing?

00:44:24.000 Why did you like her posting sexy pictures? 1.00

00:44:28.000 What are you basing that on?

00:44:30.000 When did you say, when did you hear me say I liked her?

00:44:36.000 Why would you even make that assumption?

00:44:40.000 No, my take is that if that's who she was when I met her, 0.84

00:44:47.000 you know, it wasn't really up to me to change it.

00:44:51.000 It was either up to me to be okay with it or to, or to move on, I guess.

00:45:01.000 Oh, what is this?

00:45:03.000 Neil deGrasse is back to believing the simulation after he recently interviewed Nick Bostrom.

00:45:12.000 Okay, so that explains it.

00:45:13.000 So I couldn't quite understand why Neil deGrasse Tyson, who clearly is smart enough to be a physicist,

00:45:22.000 how he could not understand the argument enough to at least think it's possible.

00:45:26.000 But I guess he talked to the father of the argument, Nick Bostrom,

00:45:30.000 and now he's open to it, it sounds like, based on the comment I saw on Locals just now.

00:45:37.000 The crying birds are still there.

00:45:38.000 I've got one window closed here that's closest to me, so you don't hear them as well.

00:45:44.000 Can you believe that Maui weed is not legal, except if you have a prescription from Hawaii?

00:45:52.000 Of all places, of all places, Hawaii is probably the most marijuana-smoking place on earth,

00:46:01.000 and it's not legal recreation.

00:46:03.000 It's weird.

00:46:04.000 All right.

00:46:05.000 Yeah, I saw Tucker referred to, who was it?

00:46:15.000 He was talking to about Crawford.

00:46:17.000 He called them Eyepatch Macomb, or no, Eyepatch McCain.

00:46:23.000 Eyepatch McCain.

00:46:25.000 I do not endorse that nickname.

00:46:29.000 So let me give you a, let me give you a little tip.

00:46:35.000 Making fun of a veteran's disability, no matter how clever, doesn't really fly very well.

00:46:49.000 I didn't love it.

00:46:50.000 I didn't love it.

00:46:52.000 It was, it was deliciously provocative, which he intended it to be.

00:46:58.000 But I'm not, I'm not on that train, so I'm not with Tucker on that.

00:47:03.000 I, I didn't say it's not funny.

00:47:07.000 You know, let, let me be clear.

00:47:10.000 I can appreciate the humor of it, it's very clever.

00:47:13.000 It's dismissive and everything, so it's everything he wants it to be.

00:47:17.000 And, and he's referring to another, uh, wounded veteran, right?

00:47:22.000 So, I, I'm not sure if that's why he's referring to it.

00:47:25.000 Is, is, is he, is he referring to him as Eyepatch McCain because of his politics?

00:47:33.000 Or is it also because he's a wounded veteran and that gives him some extra, extra juice?

00:47:42.000 Is his slap worthy?

00:47:46.000 Yeah.

00:47:47.000 I don't know.

00:47:50.000 Um, I think the assault on Tucker is going to get really, really hard between now and 2024.

00:47:58.000 What do you think?

00:48:00.000 Is it my imagination or does Tucker seem like, uh, he's like the, I don't know what, how would you describe him now?

00:48:12.000 Because his role is very important to the ecosystem on the right.

00:48:19.000 So, would you say he's like the, the tent pole, um, conservative?

00:48:26.000 Does he even call himself, by the way, does Tucker call himself a conservative or is he independent?

00:48:31.000 I think he's independent, right?

00:48:32.000 But, since his, his audience is right-leaning, conservative, um, he's a foil, somebody says.

00:48:43.000 National treasurer, right?

00:48:46.000 Well, he could be all of those things.

00:48:48.000 You know, Tucker's a complicated guy.

00:48:53.000 Um, yeah, I, I think Tucker's going to be on the serious assault.

00:48:59.000 And if it's played the way it's usually played, they will make up something that he didn't say and treat it as though he said.

00:49:08.000 And that would, that's the way the left attacks most things, right?

00:49:13.000 The primary leftist attack is to literally make up something that almost happened but didn't.

00:49:19.000 You know, something you can convince people happened but didn't really happen.

00:49:23.000 And that that's your whole attack.

00:49:24.000 So, they're going to look, so Tucker's going to be the, uh, painted as the, the white supremacist, you know, Graham, Kegel or whatever.

00:49:34.000 And they're going to try to go after him for that.

00:49:37.000 But the one thing that Tucker has consistently done, uh, let's say, correct from a strategic and career perspective.

00:49:46.000 He's always laughed off criticism.

00:49:50.000 And he's never shied away from it.

00:49:52.000 So he doesn't apologize.

00:49:53.000 He doesn't back up.

00:49:55.000 I mean, I, he may have apologized for something, but it was of his own doing, I think.

00:50:00.000 I don't think he's ever been forced to apologize for anything.

00:50:01.000 Um, and I think because his audience just goes up, no matter how hard he is attacked, that he's created a good situation.

00:50:13.000 So he's, he's as close to uncancellable as you can get, but he's not, right?

00:50:20.000 He's as uncancellable as maybe Hannity in the sense that, you know, he's a, he's a big profit source for the network.

00:50:30.000 And he's so popular that it would just cause a, you know, can you imagine if either of those two got canceled in some way?

00:50:37.000 Now, again, I'm not saying that I agree with their, uh, opinions or politics.

00:50:42.000 That's a completely different subject.

00:50:44.000 But if, if the two tentpoles of conservative thought, at least popular conservative thought, um, you know, if they got canceled in some way, that'd be a pretty big deal.

00:50:58.000 All right. Um, more Democrats watched Tucker than anyone else. Is that true?

00:51:08.000 Uh, what happened to the Matt Gaetz scandal?

00:51:11.000 Well, let's go back to that Matt Gaetz so-called scandal.

00:51:16.000 Were you expecting by now that he would be indicted?

00:51:21.000 That didn't happen, did it?

00:51:22.000 Were you expecting by now that, uh, the evidence would show he was guilty of something horrible?

00:51:29.000 Didn't happen, did it?

00:51:31.000 Were you expecting by now that you would hear the name of an accuser?

00:51:35.000 Or at least that there'd be a specific person with a specific description, maybe not the name.

00:51:40.000 If, if said person were under 18.

00:51:44.000 So where's all that story?

00:51:46.000 Where is it?

00:51:47.000 Where is it?

00:51:49.000 Do you think that that was ever real?

00:51:51.000 If you're not hearing about it today?

00:51:54.000 How real could it have been?

00:51:58.000 Yeah.

00:52:00.000 Um, oh, somebody says he's super nice, you chatted with him?

00:52:06.000 Um.

00:52:10.000 Young Democrats dig him, he said.

00:52:11.000 All right.

00:52:13.000 Uh, you were blazing to write in Maui?

00:52:15.000 No.

00:52:16.000 You know, here's the weirdest thing.

00:52:18.000 The whole time I've been here, I've had brain fog.

00:52:21.000 And not for the reasons that you might think.

00:52:23.000 Um, I can't sleep enough here.

00:52:24.000 I don't know why.

00:52:26.000 I haven't been able to, I mean, I wrote 40 pages and I got a good start on the book.

00:52:29.000 But, uh, I fall asleep writing every 10 or 15 minutes unless I've got lots of stimulation around me.

00:52:46.000 So the only place I can write is at a meal.

00:52:49.000 So I just take my laptop and have lots of people around me making noise and stuff so I can't fall asleep.

00:52:56.000 And then I can ignore them real easily and write.

00:53:00.000 So I love to have people to ignore to write.

00:53:03.000 It's my ideal situation.

00:53:05.000 I want lots of people, but I want to be able to ignore them.

00:53:09.000 Because that's how I can stay awake.

00:53:14.000 Um.

00:53:15.000 Okay.

00:53:21.000 All right.

00:53:23.000 Um.

00:53:24.000 You don't like sleep anyway?

00:53:25.000 I hate sleep.

00:53:27.000 Last night was just...

00:53:29.000 Last night, if you put a camera on me trying to sleep.

00:53:34.000 And this is after, I don't know, I probably walked 12 miles on the beach.

00:53:40.000 I did everything you could do to be ready for sleep.

00:53:45.000 And, you know, my bed is like a mess.

00:53:48.000 I was probably up, I don't know, five times last night.

00:53:51.000 Um.

00:53:53.000 I was too hot.

00:53:54.000 I was uncomfortable.

00:53:55.000 I was itchy.

00:53:57.000 Just everything.

00:53:58.000 I just hate to sleep.

00:54:00.000 I hate to sleep.

00:54:01.000 It's not earplugs.

00:54:02.000 It's not about noise.

00:54:07.000 Um.

00:54:10.000 Try binaural beats.

00:54:12.000 I have tried binaural beats.

00:54:15.000 And I, you know, I don't know too much about them, but I can tell you that when I put them on with headphones,

00:54:20.000 it's a certain kind of beat that's supposed to have a mental effect on you.

00:54:25.000 It does feel like something's happening.

00:54:28.000 Has anybody ever tried the binaural beats?

00:54:32.000 I don't know what it's doing.

00:54:34.000 But as soon as you put them on, it's not like regular noise.

00:54:37.000 It feels like something's happening to your brain.

00:54:43.000 Um, let's see.

00:54:44.000 Do you know if Cerno still believes in the simulation?

00:54:49.000 Well, I don't know if he ever believed it.

00:54:52.000 I'm not, I'm not aware that he believed it.

00:54:56.000 But I'm not aware that he ruled it down.

00:54:59.000 So if I had to guess,

00:55:01.000 if I had to guess,

00:55:03.000 he probably puts it in the category of the things that could be,

00:55:06.000 could be one interpretation of the universe.

00:55:09.000 I think he prefers others though.

00:55:10.000 I think he prefers more of a Christian narrative.

00:55:14.000 Is that true?

00:55:16.000 I can't speak for him.

00:55:17.000 So yeah, I'm not,

00:55:19.000 I spend much less time

00:55:22.000 wondering about his religious journey

00:55:25.000 than I do about his other opinions.

00:55:27.000 Because the religious journey is

00:55:29.000 a little bit more about himself.

00:55:31.000 And it's sort of an individual thing,

00:55:34.000 even though he shares it with everybody,

00:55:36.000 which I always appreciate.

00:55:37.000 All right.

00:55:40.000 Um,

00:55:44.000 Fast Company,

00:55:45.000 we're not living in a simulation probably.

00:55:48.000 Who said that in, in 18?

00:55:52.000 Master back in Detroit auto plants?

00:55:54.000 Oh no.

00:55:55.000 Oh.

00:56:05.000 Moon over Maui right now?

00:56:09.000 You watch Netflix to put you to sleep?

00:56:14.000 Um,

00:56:16.000 what's Musk going to say next?

00:56:18.000 Well, who could predict?

00:56:20.000 What could be harder than trying to predict that?

00:56:23.000 That.

00:56:24.000 All right.

00:56:25.000 Um, I believe just before I signed on here,

00:56:28.000 I saw a Rasmussen tweet.

00:56:32.000 So I think there's a new Rasmussen poll.

00:56:34.000 Let's see what they got going on here.

00:56:36.000 Uh, this one.

00:56:38.000 Two thirds of voters favor limits on abortion.

00:56:40.000 Um,

00:56:43.000 so Rasmussen says more voters, uh,

00:56:45.000 describe themselves as pro-choice than pro-life,

00:56:49.000 but they do support state laws that limit how late.

00:56:52.000 So I guess that line between pro-choice and,

00:56:56.000 and pro-life is sort of murky,

00:56:59.000 because people have different,

00:57:01.000 different ideas of where to draw that line.

00:57:02.000 Okay.

00:57:03.000 I guess we knew that.

00:57:05.000 The latest, uh, Rasmussen, blah, blah, blah,

00:57:07.000 survey says 67% of likely U.S. voters believe abortion

00:57:12.000 should not be legal past the first three months.

00:57:15.000 So two thirds of people are in favor of at least not having

00:57:20.000 a past the first three months.

00:57:22.000 That includes 24% who think all abortions should be illegal.

00:57:29.000 24%.

00:57:31.000 I'm not even going to say anything about that,

00:57:33.000 because this is too provocative.

00:57:36.000 Too provocative.

00:57:38.000 Let's just say, you see that third rail?

00:57:42.000 Here's that third rail.

00:57:44.000 Here's me.

00:57:46.000 I see you.

00:57:48.000 I'm not going to get near you.

00:57:49.000 There was a time when I would have gone to the next level

00:57:55.000 in this conversation,

00:57:57.000 and been cancelled immediately by my audience,

00:58:00.000 for good reason.

00:58:02.000 Another 13% say abortion should be legal up to the first six months of pregnancy.

00:58:08.000 13% should be legal up to the first...

00:58:13.000 Wow.

00:58:15.000 Wow.

00:58:16.000 But, see the trouble is with these polls.

00:58:19.000 I believe people are adding their own assumptions.

00:58:23.000 Don't you?

00:58:24.000 Because I think that the 13% who say it should be legal up to the first six months

00:58:30.000 are almost certainly saying only under the condition of.

00:58:34.000 I don't believe there's...

00:58:36.000 It'd be hard to find anybody who thinks you should abort a six month old baby

00:58:41.000 for anything except a health emergency for the mother.

00:58:46.000 Am I right?

00:58:48.000 So, I believe the context is if you have to choose between the life of the mother

00:58:53.000 and the life of the unborn but definitely a baby by six months.

00:58:57.000 If you had to choose,

00:58:59.000 then this number of people would say that the mother should be able to choose her own self-interest. 0.96

00:59:06.000 And that has a little less to do with abortion

00:59:11.000 and more to do with who gets to decide who lives and dies.

00:59:15.000 So, that's a slightly different question in that case.

00:59:20.000 And so, one of my macro takes on abortion is that we're never talking about the same thing

00:59:25.000 even when we think we are.

00:59:27.000 Somebody says killing the baby is not necessary.

00:59:31.000 Well, I would think that would be true in almost every case.

00:59:34.000 But you cannot imagine any case?

00:59:37.000 Can you not imagine any case where there would be a choice between which one lives or dies?

00:59:42.000 Because I think there must be some rare cases where that's true.

00:59:46.000 And I think that these people are talking about the rare case.

00:59:48.000 Somebody says never.

00:59:50.000 You know, with modern technology maybe it is never.

00:59:52.000 Because a six-month-old you could pull out pretty quickly, right?

00:59:59.000 With the cesarean.

01:00:02.000 Somebody says very rare.

01:00:04.000 Yeah.

01:00:06.000 Okay.

01:00:08.000 All right.

01:00:09.000 Well, I don't know enough about the medical part of that to have a good opinion on it.

01:00:12.000 I asked yesterday because one of my biggest problems in life right now is that there's a belief that I was pro-vaccination and pro-mask.

01:00:25.000 Those of you who watch me know that I simply talked about the arguments on both sides.

01:00:31.000 But I was never pro-mask mandate and never pro-vaccine mandate.

01:00:36.000 But, so I asked how many people thought I was pro-vax or pro-mask.

01:00:44.000 And there's a lot of people.

01:00:46.000 So a lot of people have the impression that I was exactly the opposite of my opinion.

01:00:51.000 And I couldn't figure out why.

01:00:53.000 And there seems to be one tweet that was misinterpreted.

01:00:57.000 Now, you could argue that that's my fault, which is a separate situation.

01:01:04.000 But the tweet was that after I got vaccinated, I said that, to paraphrase it now, but I think I said,

01:01:14.000 if you're unvaccinated, you're in a pandemic.

01:01:18.000 And if you're vaccinated, it's just Tuesday.

01:01:20.000 And people said, well, that is telling me that you were pushing the vaccinations.

01:01:26.000 And I can see why they say that.

01:01:28.000 Can't you?

01:01:30.000 I can see why you might interpret it that way.

01:01:33.000 Because I was saying that it's the difference between feeling like you're in a pandemic and feeling like you're not.

01:01:40.000 Does that, to you, feel as though it is promoting vaccinations?

01:01:45.000 Go.

01:01:46.000 Would you say that that statement, that the way you feel after you get vaccinated, you feel you're outside of the pandemic.

01:01:55.000 Does that, does that promote vaccinations?

01:02:01.000 I think I saw the answer I would have said, which is kinda, kinda, you could interpret it that way.

01:02:07.000 So I'm going to put that on me.

01:02:09.000 All right.

01:02:10.000 So clearly this is a problem I brought on myself.

01:02:13.000 Here's what I intended.

01:02:15.000 All right.

01:02:16.000 So I'm going to tell you what I intended.

01:02:18.000 And then you can see how I missed.

01:02:20.000 The intention was to tell you how I felt.

01:02:24.000 Is that telling you what to feel?

01:02:27.000 Do you interpret it that way?

01:02:29.000 If I say, I like this ice cream, am I telling you that you'll like it?

01:02:33.000 I mean, you might, but that's not what I'm telling you.

01:02:36.000 I'm just telling you I like it.

01:02:37.000 If I say, I like bicycles, am I promoting them?

01:02:43.000 Kinda.

01:02:44.000 Kinda.

01:02:45.000 But it's not what's in my mind.

01:02:48.000 Right?

01:02:49.000 My intention is not to promote them.

01:02:52.000 My intention is just to say, I like bicycles.

01:02:55.000 That's it.

01:02:56.000 I like bicycles.

01:02:58.000 So I can definitely see how somebody took it too far.

01:03:01.000 But let me further explain.

01:03:03.000 What I meant when I said, you have to remember the context of when I said it.

01:03:08.000 So it was when mask mandates were dropping the first time before they came back.

01:03:13.000 And it was when, if you were vaccinated, you were a free person.

01:03:17.000 If you were vaccinated, you could go to restaurants and you could travel.

01:03:20.000 And so my comment that if you're vaccinated, you don't feel like you're in a pandemic was literally true. 0.89

01:03:29.000 Because once vaccinated, I could travel.

01:03:32.000 I could go to restaurants.

01:03:33.000 Yeah, I mean, I have to show the little card, but that's one second of my time.

01:03:37.000 So the feeling of getting vaccinated was a feeling of being done with the pandemic.

01:03:43.000 Now it turns out that it ramped up and it got worse.

01:03:46.000 But at the time, that's how I felt.

01:03:48.000 Now, is that telling you to get vaccinated?

01:03:53.000 I'm telling you that I got a card so I can travel.

01:03:57.000 You agree with that, right?

01:04:00.000 You all agree that people who are vaccinated gained more freedom.

01:04:04.000 I mean, they took a risk to get it, right?

01:04:07.000 There's always a risk with everything.

01:04:09.000 But they gained more freedom than other people.

01:04:12.000 So for me, the pandemic was over.

01:04:14.000 I didn't realize it was going to get worse.

01:04:16.000 Then I'd be right back into it.

01:04:17.000 But at the time, it felt like, well, it's over.

01:04:20.000 You guys have a problem.

01:04:23.000 Now, part of that also was that the science seemed to indicate that if you didn't drop dead fairly soon from the vaccination, and I didn't, that you probably were way better off and that your risk of dying from COVID would go from really small, you know, something under, I don't know, one or two percent, to basically forget about even thinking about it.

01:04:47.000 So, I do worry about a two percent risk of dying.

01:04:52.000 Two percent is enough.

01:04:54.000 You know, with my age and asthma, etc.

01:04:56.000 Well, it's hard to estimate anybody's individual risk, but I figure two percent, you know, maybe on the high side, two percent, one percent, on the high side.

01:05:08.000 But a one or two percent chance of death is a lot.

01:05:11.000 I would avoid all two percent chances of dying.

01:05:16.000 Would you?

01:05:17.000 If you get into your car to drive to the store, it's not a two percent chance of dying.

01:05:23.000 It's way less.

01:05:25.000 It's just that you drive a lot, right?

01:05:27.000 And other people do too.

01:05:28.000 Well, is there anything else I do that has a two percent chance of dying?

01:05:34.000 Can you think of anything?

01:05:37.000 Is there any normal thing I do that would get me anywhere in the neighborhood of two percent chance of dying because I did it?

01:05:45.000 I can't think of anything I do.

01:05:48.000 Road rage.

01:05:53.000 Yeah.

01:05:54.000 So anyway, the point of that was how I personally felt and then people interpreted that as being some kind of recommendation, which it clearly was not.

01:06:02.000 Now, the context that other people didn't know is how many times I've said I'm not going to make a medical recommendation.

01:06:10.000 And how many times I said every individual is different.

01:06:13.000 You just need to make up your own mind.

01:06:16.000 If you do that, then you would have seen my tweet as just talking about how I felt at the moment.

01:06:22.000 You know, my freedom had been returned before it was taken away again, but it was returned momentarily.

01:06:28.000 Even mild COVID creates long-term risk.

01:06:37.000 Well, we don't know.

01:06:39.000 Scott's cardio is backpedaling.

01:06:41.000 What's that mean?

01:06:45.000 You stated you're not a doctor.

01:06:47.000 That's correct.

01:06:48.000 That's correct.

01:06:59.000 Prisoner Island.

01:07:00.000 Can every challenge be overcome?

01:07:02.000 No.

01:07:04.000 But most challenges can be overcome if you're willing to pay the price.

01:07:08.000 It's just the price might be too high.

01:07:09.000 Buying pot might be laced with something dangerous.

01:07:15.000 Do you think I have a 2% chance of dying every time I smoke pot?

01:07:19.000 I don't know.

01:07:20.000 I don't think there would be a lot of pot smoking if that were the case.

01:07:25.000 You probably just looked for persuasion and then you saw it.

01:07:28.000 Yeah.

01:07:29.000 Yeah, that's why I'm taking responsibility for that.

01:07:31.000 Because I am a professional communicator.

01:07:35.000 And if I professionally communicate poorly, and I would say that's definitely an example of that.

01:07:44.000 But here's my blind spot.

01:07:48.000 My blind spot was thinking that people knew the context. 0.95

01:07:53.000 And that was ridiculous.

01:07:55.000 Because not everybody would know the context. 0.53

01:08:09.000 No driving at 120, yeah.

01:08:12.000 Any thoughts on Bill Gates backpedaling?

01:08:14.000 Did he backpedal on the vaccinations?

01:08:17.000 Or what?

01:08:22.000 Going to war with China?

01:08:29.000 Yeah.

01:08:30.000 Okay, that's risky.

01:08:32.000 He said COVID was an old person's disease.

01:08:35.000 Well, everybody always said that.

01:08:40.000 Neo says that Scott Adams was very smug about being fully vaccinated.

01:08:45.000 Now he's backpedaling.

01:08:47.000 Nope.

01:08:48.000 I was never smug about it.

01:08:49.000 That never happened, Neo. 1.00

01:08:51.000 You asshole. 1.00

01:08:52.000 So I'm going to be smug about you. 1.00

01:08:54.000 We'll hide you on that channel.

01:08:56.000 So that would be a case of you having an interpretation.

01:09:02.000 Let me tell you what I was smug about.

01:09:05.000 I was definitely smug.

01:09:08.000 But I was smug about the thought process.

01:09:11.000 I was never smug that getting the vaccination would 100% be the best situation for me and not kill me by accident.

01:09:22.000 I was never unaware and I never underplayed that a vaccination that was, let's say, speedily developed would be as safe as one that you had a lot of information about.

01:09:34.000 I was always clear about that.

01:09:35.000 I was always clear about that.

01:09:37.000 So how could you be smug about a guess?

01:09:41.000 I told you 100 times that I didn't know if getting the vaccination was a good decision or not and I put it off as long as possible so there would be as much information as possible of other people taking it.

01:09:52.000 And if there had been a way to avoid it entirely and still be able to fly, I would have done it.

01:10:01.000 Does that sound smug as I talk to you now?

01:10:05.000 I'll tell you what was smug when I debunked your bad arguments.

01:10:10.000 Because there were a lot of people who were on my side, in essence, but I had bad arguments to get there and I couldn't handle that.

01:10:18.000 So I was definitely smug about, let me tell you, let me give you the mask argument.

01:10:24.000 I'm smug that I'm 100% right about masks and always have been.

01:10:30.000 I'm completely, completely sure.

01:10:33.000 Because it's based on logic and plume theory and I doubt there's anybody who could argue against it.

01:10:42.000 Now, if you saw a live stream in which I asked how many people watching the live stream at the moment were engineers.

01:10:49.000 And I said, all right, let me just talk to the engineers and watch me convince them that masks work.

01:10:56.000 And right in front of you, I convinced every engineer who was watching that masks work a little bit.

01:11:02.000 Do you want me to do it again?

01:11:03.000 We know that the more virus you're exposed to in the beginning matters and we know that the masks don't work because they distribute the virus in many ways and they don't stop it.

01:11:17.000 But that distribution guarantees that the person that you're standing right in front of is not getting a full dose of virus as much as it could be.

01:11:28.000 Now, no engineer is going to argue with what I just said because they know you can't blow out a candle with a mask on.

01:11:36.000 You could try, but the air is going to come out the side.

01:11:39.000 That's all it needs to do.

01:11:41.000 If all it does is come out the sides, you're reducing the amount of virus that you're shooting into somebody's face.

01:11:48.000 And in those cases, but not in the case where everybody's just sitting in the same room for eight hours.

01:11:54.000 If everybody's just sitting in the same room for eight hours, well, maybe the room is just so full of virus by then it doesn't make much difference.

01:12:02.000 But for general, you know, communication and relationships, if you could remove the firehose of virus directly into my face, even if I get it, even if I get infected, I should have much less of a illness or death.

01:12:19.000 Now, I just convinced 100% of you.

01:12:24.000 That was always the argument.

01:12:26.000 That was always the argument.

01:12:27.000 There's not a single person who could argue with what I just said.

01:12:30.000 Right?

01:12:32.000 The comments just went silent.

01:12:34.000 Everybody in the, every single one of you just said, oh, that's actually a pretty good argument.

01:12:40.000 Every one of you.

01:12:41.000 Every single one of you just agreed with me.

01:12:44.000 So can I be smug?

01:12:46.000 I just, I just convinced every one of you.

01:12:49.000 I think I deserve to be smug.

01:12:51.000 Don't I?

01:12:53.000 If you had done that, I would give you credit.

01:12:56.000 Right?

01:12:58.000 If I watched you do what I just did, I would definitely give you credit for it.

01:13:02.000 I'd say, Jesus, that was pretty good.

01:13:04.000 Yeah, okay.

01:13:05.000 You won.

01:13:06.000 You win.

01:13:07.000 I'm convinced.

01:13:09.000 Now, the only people who are going to push back are going to say stuff like, no, or LOL.

01:13:15.000 But nobody in the comments is going to give a, like a one sentence pushback where, oh, Scott, you're forgetting this part of physics or something like that.

01:13:24.000 Nothing.

01:13:25.000 Because the argument is completely airtight.

01:13:28.000 There's nothing you can say about it.

01:13:30.000 Now, I will say, let me say this as clearly as possible.

01:13:34.000 I don't think you saw the effect of masks in the larger statistics.

01:13:41.000 Everybody okay with that?

01:13:45.000 That, as far as I know, I haven't seen the difference.

01:13:49.000 So that's why I was not in favor of mask mandates.

01:13:51.000 Because while I believe there's a hundred percent chance they make a difference in some situations.

01:13:57.000 A hundred percent chance.

01:13:59.000 There doesn't seem to be enough of a difference, overall, that I would make all the citizens wear masks.

01:14:06.000 So I separate the mandate, which seems ridiculous, because it just doesn't show up in the statistics.

01:14:12.000 With the fact that physics is physics and engineering is engineering, you can't get away from that.

01:14:19.000 All right.

01:14:24.000 So, I try to limit my smugness to situations where nobody would disagree if they hurt my argument.

01:14:33.000 I'm sure I don't do that.

01:14:36.000 But I try to.

01:14:38.000 Like, that's the only time that I'm going to be completely smug is when I know you will agree with me.

01:14:43.000 You will agree with me.

01:14:44.000 Everyone of you agrees with me right now.

01:14:47.000 And if you say no, you're lying.

01:14:49.000 Or you're lying to yourself.

01:14:51.000 Everyone of you agrees with what I just said.

01:14:56.000 All right.

01:14:57.000 You don't leave.

01:15:02.000 They're just, I don't know what that's about.

01:15:06.000 Always wondered if wearing a mask could be negative.

01:15:09.000 I would guess that for some people, the mask is negative.

01:15:12.000 How many times has somebody accidentally picked up the wrong mask and it was the mask of an infected person?

01:15:20.000 Well, just think about it.

01:15:22.000 Just imagine in your mind how many times your family, like, used a mask and then you were going to use it again.

01:15:30.000 And you saw a mask.

01:15:32.000 Have you ever been in your car and you forgot to bring a fresh mask and there is one in the car from a family member that had just used it?

01:15:41.000 Do you ever pick up that mask that your family member used and put it on because it's your only mask and you forgot to bring one?

01:15:49.000 Yes, you have.

01:15:50.000 Yes, you have.

01:15:51.000 So, in a hundred different ways, can you imagine that a mask would make things worse?

01:15:58.000 Yes, I can.

01:16:00.000 Yes.

01:16:01.000 That's not the only example.

01:16:02.000 I'll bet I could come up with all kinds of ways that wearing a mask makes it worse in some cases.

01:16:08.000 In some cases.

01:16:10.000 So that's why I disagree with the mandate, because it's not showing up in the numbers that it matters.

01:16:16.000 But I can't get past engineering and physics.

01:16:21.000 Why did we not see one particle physicist talking about masks or what?

01:16:28.000 You know, even when I saw the experts talking about the masks, they never were smart about it.

01:16:33.000 I don't believe I saw one expert say what I said to you today.

01:16:38.000 Had they said that, everybody would have agreed on masks.

01:16:42.000 Think about that.

01:16:43.000 If the experts had described it to you the way I just did, about just reducing the plumes, everybody would have said, oh, shoot, I guess they do work in some situations, but I don't want to wear them or it's not enough of a difference.

01:17:00.000 But it would have completely changed how you felt about it.

01:17:04.000 You still wouldn't want to do it.

01:17:06.000 But at least you'd say, okay, I get the argument.

01:17:09.000 The argument makes sense.

01:17:13.000 All right.

01:17:14.000 Ask a drywaller if they were.

01:17:18.000 Well, everybody who's making the argument that viruses penetrate masks is making the wrong argument.

01:17:25.000 Because nobody disagrees with that.

01:17:28.000 And that was never the point.

01:17:29.000 God, I never want to talk about masks again.

01:17:40.000 How do you miss a bullet a few microns wide?

01:17:47.000 Yeah, my top two, you're right.

01:17:49.000 People don't understand friction.

01:17:52.000 They don't understand cost-benefit analysis.

01:17:55.000 They don't understand systems versus goals.

01:17:59.000 Those are three things I harp on along.

01:18:04.000 All right.

01:18:06.000 Any new micro-lessons coming up?

01:18:08.000 Yes, but I'm going to have to get home for that.

01:18:15.000 Russell Brand had a video on payments to CDC people.

01:18:19.000 Well, I do assume that our regulators are corrupt.

01:18:27.000 So I don't know which ones or specifically anything.

01:18:31.000 It's not a specific allegation.

01:18:33.000 But if you look at especially the issue of rapid tests,

01:18:38.000 it seems to me just sort of obvious there had to be massive corruption in the FDA.

01:18:43.000 It just seems obvious.

01:18:44.000 Now, I can be convinced it didn't happen.

01:18:47.000 You know, I'm not talking about some specific individual or something.

01:18:51.000 But from the outside, it seems pretty obvious that it was corrupt.

01:18:56.000 And if it's not, they certainly owe us an explanation.

01:19:00.000 And they didn't give us one that made sense. 0.98

01:19:03.000 I mean, they explained it, but not in a way that wasn't stupid. 0.97

01:19:05.000 So I'm pretty sure that the FDA could give us an explanation of why they waited so long that wasn't stupid if it were real. 0.98

01:19:16.000 Right? 1.00

01:19:18.000 But the only thing they've offered us are reasons that are stupid. 1.00

01:19:21.000 And clearly, they're all smarter than the explanation they've given us. 0.99

01:19:26.000 So they don't believe their own explanation, that's for sure.

01:19:28.000 Right?

01:19:29.000 I don't like to read minds, but if you know they're a certain level of smart,

01:19:34.000 but they've given you an explanation that isn't even close to the level of smart that they are,

01:19:39.000 well, there's something fishy going on.

01:19:41.000 Right?

01:19:42.000 That much you can know.

01:19:43.000 Please know that your words are powerful.

01:19:49.000 I do know that.

01:19:51.000 I do know that.

01:19:55.000 It is what it is, that's what I heard.

01:19:58.000 Jenny, you just summed up the entire world.

01:20:01.000 That is what it is.

01:20:05.000 If we didn't get vaxxed, you didn't care if we died.

01:20:07.000 Have I seen Carmen Sandiego? No.

01:20:20.000 Is it possible for Elon Musk not to come up in conversation and social gatherings?

01:20:26.000 I've not experienced it.

01:20:28.000 I've not experienced it.

01:20:29.000 I'm pretty sure 100% of my recent conversations with anybody, he came up.

01:20:40.000 I mean, it used to be Trump, but now it's in for a while.

01:20:44.000 It used to be Joe Rogan in between.

01:20:49.000 Can we call the Democratic Party the projection party?

01:20:52.000 I think you can call them the vulnerable narcissist party.

01:21:01.000 Common cold is 40% of yearly flu deaths.

01:21:04.000 Is it?

01:21:07.000 I don't think this is long.

01:21:09.000 Is this a long live stream?

01:21:11.000 I started late, so I don't think it's that long.

01:21:14.000 Can you do a character based on Kamala?

01:21:17.000 Maybe I could.

01:21:19.000 Oh, okay.

01:21:20.000 All right.

01:21:22.000 Then I guess we're done.

01:21:23.000 And I'm going to go talk to you tomorrow.

01:21:26.000 I'm going to go do some work and maybe walk on the beach and see if I can enjoy my last day here.

01:21:33.000 And I'll be traveling tomorrow, but I think I'll have time to do my show in the morning.

01:21:39.000 And I'll see you then.

01:21:43.000 Bye, YouTube.
