Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1747 Scott Adams： Let's Talk About All The Headlines And Figure Out What's Going On

00:00:00.240 Live on YouTube, live on Locals, coming to you from beautiful Hawaii, where I'll be leaving in a few hours, and I'll be back in the right time zone.

00:00:12.040 Not the wrong time zone, the right time zone.

00:00:14.800 And when I get there, wow, things will be even better than they are now.

00:00:21.460 Yeah, time is an illusion. That is right, Bob. Or Don, whoever said that.

00:00:27.260 All right. Now, you may hear my coffee brewing, but do you hear the baby birds crying?

00:00:37.240 No, because I kept the window closed, because I know it drives you crazy.

00:00:42.720 And as soon as you hear that noise, stop.

00:00:47.220 I'm getting my simultaneous sip ready for you, but I thought I'd come in approximately on time.

00:00:53.200 I did not kill them. No, I did not kill the birds.

00:00:56.200 But they were noisy and awesome.

00:00:59.040 Is there any story that you especially want me to talk about today?

00:01:03.420 Because I think I'll hit all the headlines.

00:01:06.580 Did I feed them? I did not.

00:01:08.440 We will not talk about the birds anymore.

00:01:10.380 We're done with the birds.

00:01:12.160 All right.

00:01:12.520 Yeah, we'll be talking about the Project Veritas, or as it was called on the film, Project Veritas.

00:01:26.320 What is that?

00:01:27.480 Said the undercover Project Veritas person, which was awesome.

00:01:33.280 All right.

00:01:34.140 Stay there.

00:01:34.860 I'll let you come with me, but only if you're nice.

00:01:41.820 Come with me.

00:01:42.860 Now, so if you'd like to know how my day is starting out, let me give you a visual demonstration.

00:02:07.900 As you know, I just brewed some coffee.

00:02:14.900 Here's how to not brew coffee, in case you'd like a little lesson on that.

00:02:19.660 Don't do it without the coffee in the coffee maker.

00:02:23.740 Because if you brew coffee, but you do what I just did, and don't put the coffee in the coffee maker,

00:02:32.720 you will be ready for your live live stream, and you'll have a glass of water.

00:02:37.700 It's warm water, which I understand some people drink.

00:02:41.860 And if I have specified anything, it's that any beverage is allowed.

00:02:45.820 Any beverage.

00:02:47.280 And so let's do the simultaneous sip, and I guess I'll drink warm water.

00:02:51.360 Here's to you.

00:02:52.360 Go.

00:02:52.620 Oh, God.

00:02:59.040 It tastes like plastic coffee maker.

00:03:01.460 I hope it was better on your end.

00:03:03.980 All right, let's talk about what's going on.

00:03:05.960 So Project Veritas is at it again.

00:03:08.420 They've got another Twitter employee who believed he was on a date with some young man

00:03:15.600 who was a Project Veritas undercover agent.

00:03:20.880 And you have to watch it just because the whole thing is kind of funny to watch him talk.

00:03:28.220 But here are the highlights from this Twitter employee.

00:03:30.960 He said, and this is some of the things he said, that their woke ideology is basically why they can't make any money.

00:03:43.240 He was saying that Twitter doesn't make money, but that's not true, is it?

00:03:46.420 Isn't Twitter profitable at the moment?

00:03:50.880 He was acting like they don't make money, but I don't think that's true, is it?

00:03:54.200 Yeah.

00:03:56.980 And he was saying that Twitter's not there to give people free speech.

00:04:03.500 Now, of course, it's not.

00:04:07.760 So what he was saying was, you know, technically exactly right.

00:04:11.020 But it's interesting just to hear him say it, you know, that they, let's say he was saying he valued getting the information right over free speech.

00:04:23.820 And that if they didn't edit and censor things, they wouldn't know they were getting things right.

00:04:32.240 And then as he was talking, he talked himself out of his own opinion.

00:04:37.040 It's the most awesome thing.

00:04:39.460 He starts talking and he realizes that if somebody is deciding what's right, which is exactly what he just promoted,

00:04:47.020 that somebody, Twitter, would decide what's true, you can see him realizing that he had ended civilization.

00:04:58.480 I may be exaggerating a little bit, but as he's talking, he's realizing that if there's anybody, anybody who gets to control what is true,

00:05:08.580 you can see almost like a light going on as he was talking that that would sort of end civilization.

00:05:15.560 It seems like a good idea in the short run because you get more accurate information according to us.

00:05:22.080 In the long run, if that's your standard, it's the end of civilization.

00:05:27.140 Free speech is gone.

00:05:28.720 Everything goes with it.

00:05:31.580 But the funniest part was, well, I don't know.

00:05:36.940 There were two funniest parts.

00:05:38.240 The funniest part at the end was when he mentioned, the Twitter employee mentioned Project Veritas.

00:05:48.760 And I think he showed something to the person who was actually the Project Veritas undercover agent who was filming him at that moment.

00:05:57.880 And the guy who was being filmed was like, it's a good thing we met organically because otherwise I would suspect that you were on Project Veritas.

00:06:06.880 But the funny part was when he showed, when the Twitter employee showed the Project Veritas undercover guy this Project Veritas document or whatever it was.

00:06:16.240 And the Project Veritas guy intentionally reads it, reads the name wrong.

00:06:22.380 He goes, what is this Project Veritas?

00:06:28.880 That was good undercover work.

00:06:31.600 Veritas?

00:06:32.280 What is this Project Veritas I've never heard of?

00:06:34.440 But I'd like to nominate this employee for the most fired person on the planet because he went on to say that they don't take, basically he was mocking Elon Musk for having Asperger's.

00:06:57.440 Do I need to finish the rest of the story?

00:06:59.920 If anybody was more fired than this guy, he's the most fired person in the history of humankind.

00:07:11.140 Nobody could be more fired than him.

00:07:13.540 And I don't know if Twitter will fire him before Elon Musk buys it or Musk will fire him when he buys it, but he's very fired.

00:07:23.740 He's more fired than anybody's ever been fired.

00:07:26.200 So my understanding would be that Twitter's internal woke policy would require firing him, right?

00:07:36.680 Because the problem is that he was mocking a disability, if you can call it that.

00:07:48.020 Now, it doesn't look like much of a disability if you're the richest man in the world and, you know, you have it.

00:07:54.320 It sounds like an advantage, not a disability.

00:07:57.260 But he's the most fired person in the world.

00:08:01.520 So I don't care too much about local politics or state stuff, but Dr. Oz, I guess he's in a runoff.

00:08:09.800 And Madison Cawthorne lost his primary, so he's out of it.

00:08:13.940 And when I saw Madison Cawthorne go down, I thought to myself, what would happen if the Democrats were successful in taking out the most, let's say, provocative Republicans?

00:08:28.220 And so, you know, there's one more down.

00:08:32.180 He's taken out.

00:08:33.240 But what happens if they just succeed and they take out all the provocative Republicans?

00:08:39.800 Is that going to hurt the Republicans or help them?

00:08:43.380 I feel like if you take out the provocative ones, the Republicans look more popular, not less.

00:08:48.740 I feel like they should leave the provocative ones in place and don't cancel them, if they can do that.

00:08:56.500 But the atmosphere looks a lot different than it did under 2016, didn't it?

00:09:03.760 All right, here's maybe my favorite story of the day.

00:09:07.920 So Amber Heard is getting her day in court now, so she gets to put on testimony from her side. 0.87

00:09:16.860 Here's my favorite story.

00:09:18.740 So this is from, I think, was this a Fox News site?

00:09:25.880 Yeah.

00:09:27.000 Throughout Heard's testimony, she referred to Pennington.

00:09:29.740 So this is someone who testified on Amber Heard's behalf.

00:09:35.440 So this is somebody who she's happy to have on the stand, saying good things.

00:09:39.620 This Pennington person.

00:09:41.680 Throughout Heard's testimony, she referred to Pennington as her, quote, best friend.

00:09:45.760 So Pennington was called by Amber Heard her best friend.

00:09:52.320 Here's how her best friend described himself.

00:09:55.440 Quote,

00:09:55.680 That was her best friend talking.

00:10:07.360 Let me say it again.

00:10:09.280 This is Amber Heard's best friend.

00:10:11.940 It's her best friend.

00:10:13.720 Quote,

00:10:14.020 I wouldn't consider her not a friend.

00:10:17.660 We don't speak.

00:10:19.780 We're not enemies.

00:10:21.080 Now, can I teach you something?

00:10:26.500 Here's a lesson.

00:10:27.360 People with Amber Heard's personality type, they literally don't have friends.

00:10:35.100 They don't have any.

00:10:36.280 Like, actually none.

00:10:38.960 And that's one of the ways you can identify them.

00:10:41.760 And they will call their best friend somebody who doesn't even know that they're a friend.

00:10:46.920 Because it's all they got.

00:10:48.780 And do you know why that they don't have friends?

00:10:51.820 It's not because people don't like them.

00:10:54.680 It's not because people don't like them.

00:10:57.340 Do you know why?

00:10:58.920 Why do they not have friends?

00:11:02.340 Does anybody know?

00:11:04.180 There's a specific strategic reason they can't have friends.

00:11:09.020 Not because they're toxic.

00:11:11.360 Which they are.

00:11:12.480 But that's not why.

00:11:14.220 Not because of trust?

00:11:15.840 Nope.

00:11:16.680 Lack of empathy?

00:11:17.660 Nope.

00:11:18.300 Nope.

00:11:19.580 Don't care?

00:11:20.760 Nope.

00:11:21.600 Don't want friends?

00:11:22.440 Nope.

00:11:23.360 Nope.

00:11:24.340 Inauthentic?

00:11:24.900 Nope.

00:11:26.180 Nobody got the right answer yet.

00:11:28.940 It's because if they have more than one friend, they're going to get different stories.

00:11:36.140 So she's in a personality type that lies about everything. 1.00

00:11:39.860 And if you have friends, the friends figure out the lies and they talk to each other.

00:11:44.380 They go, wait, what did she tell you?

00:11:46.980 Well, she told me completely the opposite.

00:11:49.460 This is on the checklist.

00:11:51.900 So one of the things on the checklist to figure out that somebody's in this personality type

00:11:56.320 is that they don't have actual friends.

00:11:58.840 But they might say they have a best friend.

00:12:00.460 But they wouldn't have any actual friends.

00:12:02.120 So that was her best friend who barely knows her, basically.

00:12:08.160 I guess he knows her, but he doesn't consider her a friend.

00:12:12.720 Now, I don't think that Johnny Depp is going to come out of this looking too great.

00:12:19.220 But I think he will have accomplished his goal of destroying her, if that's what he was trying to do.

00:12:27.160 I can't read his mind.

00:12:28.340 I think he was trying to get his own career back.

00:12:30.280 He might accomplish that.

00:12:32.940 He might actually accomplish that.

00:12:34.300 What do you think?

00:12:35.440 Do you think he'll get his career back and will he have essentially outed her for whatever kind of monster she is? 0.81

00:12:42.820 It looks like it's going to work to me.

00:12:45.760 I mean, I don't think it even matters so much the result of the trial, does it?

00:12:50.920 I feel like he made his point.

00:12:53.440 You know, the legal system will do what the legal system does. 0.96

00:12:56.740 But the court of public opinion pretty much settled at this point, I think.

00:13:02.340 So, here's a surprising story for you.

00:13:05.260 Let's see what your first reaction is.

00:13:06.800 American women's soccer has agreed that the women will get equal pay with the men playing soccer.

00:13:15.800 How do you feel about that?

00:13:17.960 So, a lot of you are conservative types.

00:13:22.740 Do you have a problem with that?

00:13:24.900 Do you have a problem with the women soccer players, the professionals, making as much money as the men? 1.00

00:13:31.940 All you sexists, do you have a problem with that?

00:13:37.680 Oh, something sounds subsidized, you say.

00:13:40.900 Oh, so you're saying that if the men get more audience, that that's not fair,

00:13:49.760 because then the men would be basically subsidizing the women in a sense, right?

00:13:55.120 Is that what you think? 1.00

00:13:56.000 Well, you're all wrong, you sexist, sexist, misogynist bastards, because women's soccer makes more money. 1.00

00:14:07.960 That's something I learned today. 1.00

00:14:10.340 Did you know that?

00:14:12.000 That women's soccer earns more money. 1.00

00:14:15.740 They have more, they just have, they're more popular.

00:14:18.240 And, you know, somebody's saying, no way, but remember, it's girls and women who are watching women's soccer, more likely.

00:14:27.400 And maybe you just don't have visibility on that world.

00:14:31.680 So, apparently their audience is pretty good.

00:14:37.780 Now, there's some difficulty in sorting out who makes much money,

00:14:42.300 but apparently there's no argument on the side of them earning less money for the team and therefore being underpaid.

00:14:49.980 There's no argument for it.

00:14:52.700 So, somebody says they can't fill stadiums, but I think they do.

00:14:57.480 That's not the only source of revenue.

00:14:59.800 So, they got the TV time and the tickets, etc.

00:15:02.560 Personally, I like watching women's soccer as much as men's soccer.

00:15:10.820 And I actually enjoy watching both.

00:15:13.020 So, soccer is, people like to watch games they've played.

00:15:17.000 Right?

00:15:17.320 I totally agree with you if you say soccer is bad to watch.

00:15:20.760 Like, it's really not made for TV.

00:15:24.220 Yeah, they should make bigger goals.

00:15:26.060 They should fix it if they're going to play it on TV.

00:15:27.980 But, if you've played it, if it's a game you've enjoyed, then you watch it differently.

00:15:34.400 You know, you're watching not just the scoring, but the, you know, more of the details.

00:15:38.860 And I like, I enjoy watching women's soccer. 1.00

00:15:42.300 I think it's completely entertaining.

00:15:45.900 Same with women's basketball. 1.00

00:15:48.420 I enjoy watching women's basketball. 0.84

00:15:52.280 I don't think that I, as long as the teams are, like, highly skilled and somewhat,

00:15:57.200 matched.

00:15:58.700 I'm pretty happy with it.

00:16:01.000 Alright, so, I'm all, I'm all super woke on that.

00:16:05.620 Let's give everybody the same amount of pay.

00:16:09.120 Because they earned it, right?

00:16:10.760 It's not really a woke argument.

00:16:12.460 It's an economic argument.

00:16:13.940 It's not even, there's no wokeness necessary.

00:16:15.840 Well, let's talk about that Buffalo white supremacist shooter whose name is, I think we've all told 0.97

00:16:24.720 you his name, Fuckwad Nick Jerkface, I think was his technical name. 0.98

00:16:31.340 And, here's my problem with all this white supremacist stuff. 1.00

00:16:36.320 Isn't it just mental illness? 1.00

00:16:41.640 Isn't it just mental illness?

00:16:44.500 Let me ask you this. 0.98

00:16:45.680 If this white supremacist, if you could ask him these following questions, and he could

00:16:50.740 answer honestly, how would this conversation go? 0.97

00:16:55.760 If you said to him, for example, hey, you Buffalo white supremacist shooter who shot a bunch 0.94

00:17:02.200 of mostly black people at a grocery store, you know, what's your philosophy? 0.99

00:17:10.380 And he'd probably say something, like if he's a white supremacist, and he apparently is. 0.61

00:17:15.360 And he would probably say something like, oh, the white people are awesome. 0.92

00:17:19.140 And, you know, we're bringing in all these people that he doesn't like because they're brown or whatever.

00:17:27.460 Now, here's the second question that I would ask him.

00:17:30.060 Okay, okay.

00:17:31.220 So, if I understand you, your white supremacist philosophy is that the people in your group

00:17:39.060 are the superior ones.

00:17:41.340 Is that what you're saying?

00:17:42.500 And that you don't want to water it down with what you think are lesser people.

00:17:46.760 And presumably, he'd say, yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

00:17:51.080 And then I would ask the follow-up question.

00:17:53.520 Okay, okay.

00:17:54.720 Where would you rank people who are racist mass murderers?

00:18:02.260 You know, let's say you were going to rank all the people because that's what you're doing, 0.99

00:18:05.780 white supremacist.

00:18:06.880 You're saying that you're up here and, you know, other people are down here.

00:18:11.580 So, you've literally ranked people by value, I guess.

00:18:15.280 Where do you put yourself in that rank?

00:18:18.320 The mass murderers of American citizens. 0.65

00:18:21.980 You know, where are you in that rank?

00:18:23.800 Now, would he say, oh, I'm pretty good.

00:18:26.540 I'm near the top.

00:18:28.340 Mass murder of American citizens who did absolutely nothing to Vernon.

00:18:32.640 What exactly is his argument for superiority, right?

00:18:40.140 Now, I get that he's just one guy, but does that guy get credit for the invention of the

00:18:46.180 light bulb?

00:18:47.900 Is that his argument?

00:18:48.920 That there's somebody who's completely different from him, that he never had any interaction

00:18:54.480 with, who once invented the light bulb, and that person was white.

00:19:00.400 So, does the white supremacist, who is not an inventor of a light bulb at all, but rather 1.00

00:19:05.040 a mentally ill murderer. 0.98

00:19:07.660 Does he imagine that he's awesome because there's somebody also white that he never met, isn't related 0.99

00:19:14.300 to, who invented a light bulb once?

00:19:17.520 Is that his argument?

00:19:21.220 Or, and so, here's my point.

00:19:26.400 Aren't we completely missing the, we're missing the lead, right? 0.98

00:19:32.880 But, he's mentally ill first, and then once you're mentally ill, it doesn't matter what 0.91

00:19:39.760 the hell weird thing you believe, if it's, you know, dangerous. 0.68

00:19:43.820 Like, that's almost secondary. 1.00

00:19:45.960 We're treating him like he's got a fucking philosophy. 1.00

00:19:49.440 He doesn't have a philosophy. 1.00

00:19:51.940 He has no philosophy.

00:19:55.040 We're acting like we better stop this philosophy. 0.99

00:19:57.800 No, the philosophy is mental illness. 0.64

00:19:59.400 Here's somebody who's, even his worldview doesn't make any sense.

00:20:05.380 If you sat down with him for two minutes, he would talk himself out of his own worldview.

00:20:10.940 Well, actually, would you like to see me do that?

00:20:14.780 Wouldn't you love to see me talk to somebody who had his crazy worldview, and was arguing 0.83

00:20:20.260 that he was superior because of his whiteness? 0.85

00:20:24.520 How do you think that would go?

00:20:26.540 Like, in a conversation with me, right?

00:20:29.160 Because we'd both be white. 0.89

00:20:31.080 But I'd say, all right, so, I did some good stuff, right?

00:20:35.640 I invented Dilbert.

00:20:37.580 I don't remember you helping on that. 0.99

00:20:40.420 So, why the fuck do you get credit for my accomplishment? 1.00

00:20:43.620 Explain that, you piece of shit, murderer, white supremacist asshole. 1.00

00:20:47.220 And then he'd say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, why are you being so mean to me? 1.00

00:20:51.920 You know, aren't we white people?

00:20:53.880 We should be on the same side. 0.57

00:20:55.880 And I'm like, no, I think you're just ruining my brand and murdering people that I would love,

00:21:02.380 I'm sure, if I met them. 1.00

00:21:03.820 You're a worthless piece of shit, and I wouldn't want anybody associating you with my brand whatsoever. 1.00

00:21:12.440 So, please associate with the crazy fucking murderer brand and get away from me. 1.00

00:21:19.360 Now, I'd start the conversation that way. 0.99

00:21:23.000 Then I would get him to argue that he gets credit for the accomplishments of complete strangers,

00:21:28.480 because that is completely his philosophy, that he gets credit for my accomplishments.

00:21:37.980 Sorry.

00:21:39.360 You get to go to jail.

00:21:41.040 That's what you get.

00:21:41.800 You don't get credit for my accomplishments.

00:21:43.760 Go do something, right? 1.00

00:21:48.340 Have you met any black people that you like better than a mass-murdering fucking asshole white supremacist? 1.00

00:21:55.640 Yes, I would say basically all of them. 1.00

00:21:59.960 Basically, every person I've ever met in person is better than this guy.

00:22:04.740 Everyone. 1.00

00:22:06.040 I don't think I've ever met anybody of any color, gender, sexual orientation who is worse than this fucking guy. 1.00

00:22:14.140 So, if he's got some argument about his superiority, that's just mental illness. 1.00

00:22:21.240 That's all that is. 0.94

00:22:22.240 And I feel as though making this political just makes it worse. 0.92

00:22:27.180 I don't think, you know, acting as if he's part of some big thought movement is ridiculous. 0.88

00:22:36.120 All right.

00:22:37.460 There's an Israeli firm who now can 3D print your glasses, and I believe this includes the lenses,

00:22:43.400 the frames and the lenses, to your prescription in minutes.

00:22:51.840 So, you can go into a store, pick out your glasses, I guess, from the samples,

00:22:57.060 and if you've got your prescription, they will actually print them out perfect pair of glasses while you're sitting there.

00:23:05.840 Now, this is the beginning of what should be the end of the need for international trade.

00:23:16.600 You know, if you just make everything look like.

00:23:19.340 Except, except, can somebody here tell me how to get rich on this?

00:23:26.340 Or make money on it.

00:23:27.460 I guess I'm rich enough.

00:23:28.260 Can you tell me how to invest in this?

00:23:32.220 Because I think it would be a mistake to try to pick a winner, unless somebody has emerged as the clear leader.

00:23:37.860 I don't know that that's happened.

00:23:39.600 But there's probably an indirect way to do it, don't you think?

00:23:43.800 Is there some business that is in the, whoever is in the business of, you know, making some common component, if there is one?

00:23:52.500 Yeah, what about the raw materials?

00:23:54.560 That's what I'm wondering.

00:23:57.220 At what point do we pull a CO2 out of the air and use it for your printer material, for some kinds of printing?

00:24:05.180 Someday.

00:24:07.440 The materials in composite.

00:24:09.260 So, where do the raw materials come from?

00:24:11.640 Are we just, are we coming out ahead?

00:24:16.720 I don't know.

00:24:17.420 So, so somebody who knows this industry, can you tell me, give me, give me some ideas of what companies, I feel like it's all startups, so there's nothing to invest in that's sort of above the public stock level, right?

00:24:36.760 Somebody says oil and plastics.

00:24:41.420 Could be.

00:24:42.180 But we wouldn't use more oil and plastics just because we 3D printed it, would we?

00:24:48.140 We'd use the same amount.

00:24:50.120 It would just be done locally.

00:24:53.660 But I don't know.

00:24:54.620 I'm not sure oil is the, I've never wanted to invest in oil for the long run.

00:25:01.220 It seems like a bad, I don't know what the long run is, but it seems like a bad idea.

00:25:08.500 All right.

00:25:09.520 Well, that's amazing.

00:25:10.280 If you could make prescription glasses, what is it you can't make?

00:25:17.220 Maybe somebody can tell me that.

00:25:18.800 I know there are some people on here right now who are 3D printing experts.

00:25:26.280 So, is there any material that can't be printed?

00:25:29.340 Because we can do metals, right?

00:25:33.220 A diamond tiara.

00:25:34.420 Yeah, you can't print a diamond.

00:25:36.500 Yet.

00:25:36.900 Do you think we'll never be able to print a diamond?

00:25:40.380 I'm going to say yes, we will.

00:25:42.580 I mean, it seems impossible, but I'm going to say yes.

00:25:45.320 Somebody will print a diamond someday.

00:25:48.840 The lenses are hard to get that accurate.

00:25:50.700 Yeah, maybe not.

00:25:52.300 Cannot print food?

00:25:53.280 Yes, you can.

00:25:53.800 You can print food.

00:25:55.560 You can print food.

00:26:00.620 Metal.

00:26:00.940 You can do metal.

00:26:03.320 Medicine.

00:26:04.980 I believe that there's...

00:26:08.460 With medicine, it's really just combining things, right?

00:26:13.080 You can print the pill, but you'd have to have the raw materials.

00:26:16.600 The McDonald's ice cream machine problem, what is that?

00:26:23.580 Print is a bad word.

00:26:24.760 Manufacture is better.

00:26:25.620 I agree.

00:26:27.100 I agree.

00:26:28.140 But you need a whole new word so people know what you're talking about.

00:26:35.320 All right.

00:26:38.700 Superman can make diamonds.

00:26:40.120 That's a good addition to the conversation.

00:26:41.980 Thank you.

00:26:43.900 All right.

00:26:44.420 Oh, well.

00:26:44.740 So, we'll keep an eye on that.

00:26:47.080 Let's talk about this so-called replacement theory.

00:26:51.740 It's like...

00:26:53.020 The replacement theory thing, I almost, like, never want to talk about.

00:26:58.160 Because it's like...

00:26:59.100 You know, you look at it, it takes 10 seconds to realize it's just two people talking about different things.

00:27:06.640 Am I right?

00:27:07.200 When CNN talks about it, they talk about it as the idea that it's a bunch of racists who don't want anybody watering down their white privilege.

00:27:21.720 And when somebody like Tucker Carlson or any reasonable Republican talks about how immigration will change the character of this country or at least change the voting patterns, perhaps, that's just math.

00:27:37.920 Isn't one of them just math, and one of them is literally exactly racist?

00:27:46.200 Am I wrong about that?

00:27:47.340 And don't we keep acting like they're the same thing, so you can mock the other side? 0.72

00:27:55.280 We're not even in the same conversation.

00:27:58.020 So, when somebody like Tucker says, if you add a bunch of Democrats to what we already have, won't you get more Democrat policies?

00:28:07.300 How is that racist?

00:28:08.660 If you add Democrats to the existing number of Democrats, don't you get more Democrat stuff?

00:28:17.160 Now, of course, there's some question whether they would all remain Democrats in their second generation or whether they're really even that left-leaning at all.

00:28:27.640 Because I don't know if you've ever met anybody who came from Mexico or South America.

00:28:33.600 Do you know what they're not?

00:28:36.140 They're not left-leaning.

00:28:37.300 I mean, I don't know any that I would identify that way.

00:28:42.100 And what I mean by that is they all just seem to want to work and worship their God and, you know, raise their family, family-oriented, you know, very religious, you know, work-oriented, just want to stay out of the way.

00:28:55.560 Super not woke.

00:28:57.440 Not woke at all.

00:28:58.740 Not even a little bit woke.

00:29:00.020 So, I do think that maybe there will be a big surprise about how they turn out politically over time.

00:29:11.520 And I guess I would agree with most people who say that the immigrant community is sort of naturally Republican.

00:29:18.100 It feels like it.

00:29:21.100 They feel like they're natural Republicans.

00:29:23.500 I'm not saying good or bad.

00:29:25.440 I'm not saying that's a positive or a negative.

00:29:27.380 It just feels like they're more compatible.

00:29:29.540 And Joel Pollack, of course, brought a little heat on himself with this tweet.

00:29:37.340 He said, quote, replacement theory would be less of a problem, meaning a political problem, if it did not offer a compelling explanation of why Democrats are trying to open the southern border to as many migrants as possible and offer them, quote, a path to citizenship and voting.

00:29:57.200 Note, no one ever provides a better explanation.

00:30:02.540 Now, if you read his comment correctly, he's talking about the messaging.

00:30:08.000 So, it's not a comment about good or bad about immigration.

00:30:12.160 It's a comment about how they present it.

00:30:14.980 And the point is, if the people on the left don't want replacement theory to be how Republicans on the right interprets it, perhaps they should offer an alternative view.

00:30:31.220 And we sort of assume there's an alternative view, but I don't know that anybody's articulated it.

00:30:39.780 Like, I ended up filling it in myself.

00:30:41.940 So, like, I'm filling in the left's argument mentally based on what I think it would be because I haven't heard it.

00:30:51.780 So, here's what I think it would be.

00:30:54.820 We need to be kind to all people.

00:30:58.400 And why do we treat Americans as, you know, special?

00:31:04.040 Because there are people starving on both sides of an arbitrary border.

00:31:07.460 And so, why don't we just be as kind as we can to these people who have a tough time?

00:31:13.240 Something like that.

00:31:14.180 I don't know.

00:31:14.840 Is that close?

00:31:17.300 Is that the argument?

00:31:19.180 Because if they do have an argument, I think Joel has made a really good observation

00:31:24.240 that why aren't they saying it directly and cleanly?

00:31:29.680 Here's our argument for immigration.

00:31:31.460 But it's not that.

00:31:33.620 It's sort of like the lack of an argument for a wall or something.

00:31:38.580 Right?

00:31:39.220 It's more they're anti-doing it than pro-not-doing it.

00:31:44.500 It's like they just need to be against something.

00:31:47.620 It's not like they're for something so much.

00:31:50.400 Now, it could be that it's hard to explain and still be elected.

00:31:54.600 It could be that they really are just empathy-related or empathy-driven.

00:32:02.220 It could be.

00:32:03.180 I can't read minds.

00:32:05.180 But when the other side, the Republicans, are imagining that they can see no other explanation,

00:32:17.840 it does leave it opening for people to misinterpret.

00:32:21.680 All right.

00:32:24.280 I saw a good thread from Timothy Snyder.

00:32:28.660 And he argues in a long thread that it's senseless to shelter Putin from the sense that he is losing.

00:32:36.480 He will figure that out for himself, and he will act to protect himself.

00:32:40.500 And in the long thread, he makes this excellent point that people like me,

00:32:45.560 he's not referring to me, but I'll throw myself in the group of misguided people,

00:32:50.240 have been saying that Putin needs an off-ramp, that he needs a way to lose gracefully and say that he won.

00:32:59.360 And Timothy Snyder's point, which seems like a good one, is, no, he doesn't.

00:33:03.440 Why would you think that?

00:33:08.620 It's funny.

00:33:09.420 As soon as there's a little pushback on it, my opinion just fell apart.

00:33:15.000 So my opinion was he needed an off-ramp to avoid embarrassment and still say he won something.

00:33:21.120 And I'll give you more of Timothy Snyder's argument.

00:33:24.840 But the basic argument that just completely derailed my argument is, no, he doesn't.

00:33:30.220 Why would he even think he would need that?

00:33:32.940 Because he controls the media.

00:33:35.100 He just has to tell the Russian media, tell him I won.

00:33:38.780 That's it.

00:33:40.080 He's not responsive to anybody else's opinion of him.

00:33:44.700 He only needs to manage internal opinion.

00:33:47.100 He'll just tell them what to think.

00:33:49.740 And then they'll think it.

00:33:54.740 Right?

00:33:56.020 So, I like this.

00:33:59.280 I like, I mean, it's a good, I think it's a good correction that I will take as correcting me.

00:34:07.000 Andrew says, does Scott believe the as-of Nazis were evacuated or captured?

00:34:16.280 Why would I even have an opinion on that?

00:34:19.720 Like, is that relevant in some way?

00:34:22.080 I feel like somebody's challenging me, in my opinion of the Ukraine situation.

00:34:28.320 And usually it means that you think I've taken sides.

00:34:32.460 Is that what you think? 0.95

00:34:33.200 Do you believe that I think that the Ukrainians are angels and that the Russians are devils? 0.87

00:34:42.320 Is that what you believe, in my opinion?

00:34:44.540 Is there anybody who believes that my opinion is that one of the sides is good and the other side is bad?

00:34:53.360 Andrew, you said Russia was going to lose.

00:34:57.220 Yeah, I'm still saying that, but that's not the question.

00:35:03.200 Andrew, you said Ukraine was actually going to defeat Russia.

00:35:07.200 Andrew, stop saying what I'm saying.

00:35:10.420 Stop it.

00:35:11.760 Okay, I'm saying it.

00:35:12.920 You don't have to tell me what I'm saying.

00:35:14.580 See, see, the point of the comments is not to tell me what I'm saying at the moment I'm saying it.

00:35:21.020 And then to say it like you've made a point.

00:35:23.900 Scott, you said we should drink the simultaneous sip.

00:35:26.640 He said, yeah, I did.

00:35:30.380 That's not helping.

00:35:33.640 All right.

00:35:35.260 So, no, I'm not under any impression that the Ukrainians are, let's say, avoiding war crimes. 0.90

00:35:42.260 Of course they're committing war crimes. 0.94

00:35:44.300 Do you know how I know the Ukrainians are committing war crimes? 1.00

00:35:48.740 Does anybody know?

00:35:49.880 How do I know it?

00:35:51.380 How do I know the Ukrainians are committing war crimes? 0.99

00:35:54.960 Thank you.

00:35:55.600 It's a war.

00:35:56.960 That's all you need.

00:35:58.540 It's a war.

00:36:00.080 Pick a random country and then tell me they're in a war.

00:36:03.860 And then ask me if they're committing any war crimes.

00:36:06.920 Yes.

00:36:08.900 Yes.

00:36:09.880 Because it's a war.

00:36:11.480 Right.

00:36:12.960 Unfortunately.

00:36:14.100 Now, that doesn't mean that there's something like policy to have war crimes.

00:36:18.240 But, yeah, of course.

00:36:20.360 You know, are the people who sign up to go kill people the people who are going to make no mistakes?

00:36:25.880 Yeah.

00:36:27.160 Well, I think they're aggressive by nature.

00:36:33.680 The lack of discussion is draining.

00:36:36.280 What does that mean?

00:36:41.920 Right.

00:36:42.320 Yeah, I'm sure there's no country who has avoided any war crimes. 1.00

00:36:46.380 That's not a thing.

00:36:48.140 So, neither of them are angels, but we can look at our predictions.

00:36:52.840 And I'm sticking...

00:36:54.120 Well, let me give you how CNN is treating this.

00:36:58.880 So, if you look at the CNN page, and let's say we believe that CNN is sort of, in most cases, the voice of our intelligence agencies and the Biden administration.

00:37:09.840 Would you accept that as a starting premise that CNN and the Democrats are basically the same team?

00:37:17.220 If you look at how CNN is covering the Ukraine war as of today, here are their stories.

00:37:24.220 There's something about how effective Ukraine's drones are, and all they need is more of them, and they'll definitely win everything. 0.96

00:37:30.740 So, it's a story about how drone technology is already, and it's going to become more so, is already so cost-effective compared to tanks that...

00:37:43.740 And, by the way, who told you this first?

00:37:46.720 Tank warfare might be done.

00:37:49.620 It just might not work anymore.

00:37:51.640 Where was the first place you heard that?

00:37:54.720 Was it the military expert, Scott Adams?

00:37:59.620 Hmm.

00:38:01.240 I think I've been telling you for a while that tanks should be worthless already, but it's certainly soon.

00:38:08.600 And do you remember me saying, so, Russia's going to take all their tanks into Ukraine, and those tanks are going to be okay?

00:38:16.980 So, my prediction from the start is that tanks were already obsolete.

00:38:23.660 Did I...

00:38:24.460 Anyway, let me put this to you.

00:38:26.400 So, those of you who've watched my live streams, can I make that claim that I said tanks were obsolete, and that we would find out?

00:38:36.260 Correct?

00:38:38.460 Correct?

00:38:39.180 Yes.

00:38:40.080 Yes.

00:38:40.940 Okay, I'm getting confirmations from people saying it is that.

00:38:45.540 So, there's at least one person who knows a lot more than I do who's speculating the same thing, that the age of tanks is just over, because they can't defend against drones.

00:38:54.460 And if you're saying, oh, but there's all this anti-drone technology, then you should know that the new drone warfare is you send the first drones in, and then the anti-drone technology lights up, and then from that point, you know what to attack.

00:39:11.180 So, you attack the things that lit up, and then you send your, you know, your full attack drones.

00:39:18.260 So, once you reach the point where they can swarm, and they cost, you know, $10,000 a piece, or $1,000 a piece, it's going to be nothing but drones, pretty much.

00:39:29.060 Somebody says, your ego is showing.

00:39:32.760 You know what I do for a living, right?

00:39:36.240 Well, let me deal with that.

00:39:37.600 You know that this form of media does inform, it requires showing off.

00:39:48.420 That's sort of built into the model.

00:39:50.280 You know that, right?

00:39:52.000 You wouldn't like it if I didn't.

00:39:53.920 It would be conspicuously missing.

00:39:57.080 So, yes, when I get one right, I'm going to drill it into you.

00:40:02.140 And the reason is that I make predictions primarily as the, you know, the base of my entertainment here.

00:40:09.740 The main thing I'm doing is showing you different ways to predict things, sometimes follow the money, sometimes follow the persuasion, sometimes use your BS filter to know what's true or what's not.

00:40:21.420 And then I do it in public, so that when I'm wrong, it's really, really obvious, such as when I very incorrectly said, there's no way Russia is going to attack Ukraine, because Russia must be at least as smart as I am, and I know it won't work.

00:40:39.300 So that was, like, a horrible mistake, because it turns out they weren't.

00:40:47.200 It turns out they were less informed about how this would work than I would, and I was guessing.

00:40:53.280 So that tells you how good their intel is.

00:40:57.260 So CNN's coverage is that the drones are working and definitely will make those tanks obsolete.

00:41:02.660 So that's pro-Ukraine reporting.

00:41:04.880 That the Russians are stalled in some places.

00:41:07.340 That's pro-Ukraine.

00:41:08.460 More about destroyed tanks.

00:41:11.240 That's pro-Ukraine.

00:41:12.880 Europe is trying, is coming up with a scheme to buy less Russian energy.

00:41:18.520 That's pro-Ukraine.

00:41:19.820 And then there's a Russian war criminal confessing some war crimes.

00:41:24.300 That's another story on CNN.

00:41:25.780 So one, two, three, four, five stories on CNN just today, just today, they're all anti-Russia, pro-Ukraine.

00:41:33.120 Now, does that mean that that's actually how the war has turned so that CNN doesn't have any news about Russia succeeding?

00:41:43.680 It's only news about Russia messing up.

00:41:46.220 So, is that even close to what's happening?

00:41:52.440 How would we know?

00:41:54.720 Right?

00:41:55.240 How would we know?

00:41:56.040 Makes you want to root for Russia even more? 0.95

00:42:03.980 Oh, because the CNN's on the Ukraine side?

00:42:07.360 Can you make a tank invisible?

00:42:09.640 No.

00:42:09.920 All right.

00:42:13.820 Somebody says, watch RT Russia today.

00:42:17.380 I don't feel like watching RT would inform me.

00:42:22.120 Right?

00:42:22.700 So, let me say that I don't believe CNN is reporting.

00:42:26.140 I think, it looks like Fox News barely touched it today because they had more political news.

00:42:33.020 And it's about what's happening there.

00:42:37.560 All right.

00:42:39.880 Look at financial markets and you'll know.

00:42:42.460 What will the financial markets tell me?

00:42:45.140 Would that tell me who's winning?

00:42:49.060 I'm looking at your comment, Christian.

00:42:51.660 I don't know that that would tell me who's winning.

00:42:53.300 Because financial markets are not military markets.

00:42:57.580 Do they really know what's happening?

00:43:01.780 No.

00:43:02.520 Hawaii does not have recreational weed.

00:43:05.580 Thanks for asking.

00:43:09.000 The Russians took the steel factory in Mariupol.

00:43:12.460 Right?

00:43:12.840 But that was, they basically had it for a while now.

00:43:16.800 Right?

00:43:17.660 I mean, there was no surrender there.

00:43:20.200 And there was word about trading, trading prisoners.

00:43:23.980 But that was sort of something that they, they just bombed into nothingness.

00:43:31.420 Elon saved crypto again.

00:43:33.100 Did that happen?

00:43:37.120 Financial markets.

00:43:38.380 Yes.

00:43:38.720 We'll show you thoughts about the future.

00:43:41.340 But it won't tell you what's true.

00:43:42.840 It's just what people imagine is going to happen.

00:43:47.420 Has a ton of commodities.

00:43:51.400 Right.

00:43:53.520 Cloaking device.

00:43:54.400 You think that's going to be a thing?

00:43:55.560 Maybe.

00:44:00.760 No.

00:44:02.960 How could you listen to everything I said and then conclude that I just said the opposite of what I said?

00:44:07.360 Okay, on locals, there's somebody who has accused me of believing CNN.

00:44:14.700 Did that just happen?

00:44:16.780 Is there anybody who just watched for the last five minutes and said, I just believe CNN's reporting about Ukraine?

00:44:22.980 Is that what you got out of that?

00:44:24.840 Because I feel like it was the opposite.

00:44:29.780 That's weird.

00:44:30.420 Yeah, you know, the whole thing about the ruble versus the dollar.

00:44:38.020 I admit, I don't know enough about that, you know, field, the currency, you know, field.

00:44:44.660 But I don't feel that we know what's going on there.

00:44:48.900 Does anybody else have a feeling that, you know, just looking at the ruble not collapsing is, I'm not sure that's telling us what you think it's telling you.

00:44:58.260 Because I feel like there might be ways to either lie about it or protect it temporarily.

00:45:04.620 I don't know that it matters.

00:45:08.560 I mean, I don't think that we know what's going on with the ruble.

00:45:13.180 Why not read RT?

00:45:14.620 You suggest looking at both sides.

00:45:17.160 Because I already know what RT says.

00:45:20.020 What would be the point of reading something if you know what it says?

00:45:22.680 If I buy RT, if I read RT, is it going to say Ukrainians are bad, Russia's doing better than you think, there's a perfectly good historical reason why they're doing it, Russia had a perfectly good case because NATO...

00:45:38.540 Do I need to read RT?

00:45:40.900 Tell me one thing that RT is going to tell me that I don't already know.

00:45:45.200 I mean, that I know they say.

00:45:47.020 Give me one thing that they would say that I don't already know.

00:45:49.580 Or anybody doesn't already know.

00:45:50.760 Where does Scott get most of his news?

00:45:55.280 I literally tell you every day that I check both Fox News and CNN.

00:46:00.740 And that gives you sort of the popular sense of where they're going.

00:46:05.120 But Twitter is actually the best place to find out any in-depth news.

00:46:10.580 And people will tweet at me, you know, those stories that they know are in my wheelhouse.

00:46:15.540 So most of what I see is from articles from anywhere.

00:46:21.920 You know, anywhere from blogs to whatever.

00:46:27.960 The front lines is the market price for war.

00:46:32.000 Can you name better than financial?

00:46:34.040 You mean something to look at that would predict where things are going?

00:46:37.620 I think you just have to look at the drone supply chain supply line.

00:46:44.920 If Ukraine is getting enough drones, they definitely win. 1.00

00:46:48.620 If they're not getting enough drones, Russia will at least carve out something.

00:46:53.800 I don't think they're going to take Ukraine at this point.

00:47:01.660 You first heard that tanks were done 20 years ago.

00:47:06.700 But drones are, yeah, drones are a whole different deal.

00:47:10.780 I don't think tanks will go away against maybe non-industrialized enemies.

00:47:22.640 How to get drones in range.

00:47:24.680 Apparently, it's easy.

00:47:26.680 So the military drones are not like the hobby drones.

00:47:30.160 So they've got like 20-mile range, you know.

00:47:34.000 And even the cheap ones, you can be a quarter of a mile away.

00:47:36.900 Drones could be beaten.

00:47:42.100 They said tanks were done in 1939 with bazookas.

00:47:45.520 Well, they were right.

00:47:49.900 Because if we had enough, instead of bazookas,

00:47:56.100 I'm going to say shoulder-mounted rockets.

00:47:58.960 Because that's basically what a bazooka became, right?

00:48:01.920 Shoulder-mounted rocket for tanks.

00:48:04.280 And I think if you have enough shoulder-mounted rockets,

00:48:08.680 tanks are worthless.

00:48:10.020 So it's not that tanks were good or bad.

00:48:15.280 It's just that they couldn't work against an industrialized, well-armed enemy.

00:48:21.180 That's what I think.

00:48:23.500 Why not EMP the drones?

00:48:26.460 Probably because it would take out your own stuff.

00:48:28.520 I don't know.

00:48:28.880 Yeah, I guess the smart people say that it's always going to beat cat and mouse,

00:48:38.760 and that the offense will beat defense until defense beats offense,

00:48:42.860 and then it will reverse again.

00:48:43.940 Yeah, the problem,

00:48:48.660 can drones survive a nuclear blast now?

00:48:53.200 Well, what survives a nuclear blast?

00:48:57.060 Tanks are valuable when protected by infantry.

00:48:59.720 Apparently, that's what's changed.

00:49:01.320 So it used to be true that tanks are valuable when protected by infantry,

00:49:06.680 but the infantry can't stop the drones.

00:49:09.120 So that's what's different.

00:49:10.460 They probably could stop bazookas.

00:49:18.620 All right.

00:49:20.960 Depends on the type of nuclear weapons.

00:49:22.900 All right.

00:49:28.180 Is there any story that I missed?

00:49:30.700 Anything you'd love to hear my opinion on while you have me?

00:49:37.320 Bazookas don't work against new kinds of armor,

00:49:40.340 but the shoulder-mounted missiles do.

00:49:42.480 The disinformation board is paused and Nina Jankiewicz resigned.

00:49:53.940 Did that happen?

00:49:55.680 Is that breaking news?

00:49:58.240 Let's see if the disinformation board... 0.65

00:50:01.180 Did that really happen?

00:50:03.040 Can anybody confirm that?

00:50:04.080 Let's see.

00:50:13.880 Let's see.

00:50:14.260 Disinformation board.

00:50:20.720 I want to find out if that's a rumor.

00:50:26.660 Did anybody...

00:50:28.260 The Dr. Oz thing doesn't interest me, frankly.

00:50:34.080 So it's being reported that the...

00:50:38.860 I'm looking at a Pumpliano.

00:50:42.340 Okay.

00:50:42.880 A bunch of people on Twitter are saying

00:50:45.000 it has been suspended and Nina Jankiewicz has resigned.

00:50:53.820 All right.

00:50:55.200 It looks like...

00:50:56.220 Oh, Washington Post.

00:51:00.300 Hold on.

00:51:01.100 So this looks real.

00:51:08.520 It derailed them.

00:51:14.540 They chose...

00:51:15.900 The Washington Post to say that

00:51:17.840 33-year-old Jankiewicz

00:51:19.220 had extensive experience

00:51:21.060 in the field of disinformation.

00:51:24.180 Unfortunately, maybe yes.

00:51:26.860 It's funny that doesn't sound like a positive, does it?

00:51:29.020 All right.

00:51:30.380 So it looks like

00:51:31.020 maybe that disinformation board

00:51:32.880 is falling apart.

00:51:39.900 All right.

00:51:41.040 Well, that's interesting.

00:51:45.260 Oh, I don't know if you saw this

00:51:48.900 from May 13

00:51:50.680 when Jeff Bezos was talking about

00:51:53.380 a Joe Biden tweet from May 13th.

00:51:55.020 And Biden said,

00:51:56.840 you want to bring down inflation?

00:51:58.260 Let's make sure the wealthiest corporations 0.83

00:51:59.960 pay their fair share.

00:52:01.760 And Jeff Bezos tweets that.

00:52:03.260 And he says,

00:52:04.080 the newly created disinformation board

00:52:05.960 should review this tweet.

00:52:07.480 Or maybe they need to form

00:52:08.500 a new non-sequitur board instead

00:52:10.380 because it was a total non-sequitur.

00:52:12.540 Raising corporate taxes

00:52:13.640 is fine to discuss.

00:52:15.360 Taming inflation is critical to discuss.

00:52:17.960 Mushing them together

00:52:18.980 is just misdirection.

00:52:20.280 And I'm thinking,

00:52:21.760 oh my God,

00:52:22.580 they lost Jeff Bezos.

00:52:25.220 Joe Biden and the Democrats

00:52:27.340 lost Jeff Bezos

00:52:29.380 who owns the Washington Post.

00:52:34.860 And this is Bezos.

00:52:37.780 Bezos just slapped, 0.99

00:52:39.920 he just bitch slapped Biden in public. 0.99

00:52:43.280 Bezos didn't just give us 0.99

00:52:45.300 an alternative opinion. 0.99

00:52:46.780 He just bitch slapped Biden 1.00

00:52:50.160 like he was a scarecrow 1.00

00:52:52.860 in a field or something 0.99

00:52:53.860 because that's who you bitch slap, right? 1.00

00:52:55.820 I mix all my metaphors. 0.99

00:53:01.000 Yeah.

00:53:01.840 You still can't get into orbit,

00:53:03.120 somebody says.

00:53:06.040 All right.

00:53:08.560 Wow.

00:53:09.080 So,

00:53:13.900 what do you think

00:53:15.620 about the disinformation board

00:53:17.280 if it does get disbanded?

00:53:18.680 Do you think

00:53:19.340 that

00:53:19.860 the

00:53:20.980 internet dads

00:53:23.700 and the

00:53:24.860 right

00:53:25.760 took it down?

00:53:27.380 If that happened,

00:53:29.000 well,

00:53:29.300 I guess we'll find out.

00:53:30.440 But if it did happen,

00:53:31.380 it does mean that the public

00:53:32.580 made a difference.

00:53:34.840 And that would be

00:53:35.700 that would be a Twitter thing,

00:53:38.600 wouldn't it?

00:53:39.700 Wouldn't that be

00:53:40.640 that because Twitter exists,

00:53:43.220 the disinformation board

00:53:44.320 got taken down?

00:53:45.840 Because I don't know that

00:53:47.160 there was that much energy

00:53:48.820 anywhere else.

00:53:49.480 Maybe Facebook.

00:53:50.300 I don't watch Facebook.

00:53:53.400 Is there something

00:53:54.420 with Durham happening?

00:53:55.460 I haven't seen anything.

00:54:02.420 Somebody thinks

00:54:03.500 I played a big part?

00:54:04.540 No, I don't think it did.

00:54:05.300 I don't think I had any role

00:54:06.720 in anything about

00:54:07.900 the disinformation board.

00:54:09.360 I think that was just

00:54:10.020 everybody had the same reaction

00:54:11.260 at the same time.

00:54:12.700 I don't think you could

00:54:13.740 pick a leader in that.

00:54:15.820 When everybody

00:54:16.600 spontaneously said,

00:54:18.040 what?

00:54:18.800 What the hell is this thing? 0.90

00:54:19.960 Get rid of that. 0.69

00:54:21.020 Yeah, I think

00:54:21.700 that was just everybody.

00:54:23.860 I love to take credit

00:54:24.840 for things,

00:54:25.420 but I had nothing

00:54:26.440 to do with that.

00:54:29.120 Oh, you meant

00:54:29.680 the internet dads, yes.

00:54:31.180 But,

00:54:31.400 so here's what I think.

00:54:33.680 I think that

00:54:34.560 there's a group

00:54:36.080 of people

00:54:36.520 who have to,

00:54:38.420 in a sense,

00:54:39.180 bless opinions.

00:54:41.060 And that if there are

00:54:42.220 too many of those people

00:54:43.060 that you trust

00:54:43.900 for opinions

00:54:44.560 and they disagree with you,

00:54:45.960 it's hard to keep

00:54:46.880 your opinion.

00:54:48.180 You know,

00:54:48.420 you want to conform

00:54:49.440 to the people

00:54:49.940 that you've agreed with

00:54:50.920 in the past.

00:54:52.140 So the so-called

00:54:53.220 internet dads

00:54:53.940 are just people

00:54:54.560 who have the ability

00:54:56.540 to cross lines

00:54:57.660 and say,

00:54:58.980 oh, the other side

00:54:59.640 has a point this time.

00:55:00.900 You know,

00:55:01.160 don't listen to your own side.

00:55:02.420 They're lying to you,

00:55:03.060 whatever.

00:55:03.820 So there's a little bit

00:55:04.980 of credibility there

00:55:05.960 that,

00:55:10.580 yeah.

00:55:14.980 So there is some

00:55:16.060 credibility there.

00:55:16.920 And I do think

00:55:17.520 that this disinformation board

00:55:19.140 couldn't survive

00:55:20.860 rational people

00:55:22.680 looking at it,

00:55:23.580 basically.

00:55:24.260 It just couldn't survive it.

00:55:36.600 Oh, you think

00:55:37.280 they're just going to

00:55:37.780 rebrand it?

00:55:38.680 Maybe.

00:55:39.780 All right,

00:55:40.220 that's all for now.

00:55:41.040 I'm going to go

00:55:41.640 get ready for my flight today.

00:55:43.840 I'll see you in the morning

00:55:45.080 tomorrow.

00:55:46.140 And if anything happens,

00:55:47.700 I'll talk to you then.

00:55:49.480 Bye for now.
