Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1749 Scott Adams： Talking About #Elongate, DeSantis, And Climate Change Misdirection

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to what will no doubt be the highlight of your life

00:00:09.480 and of civilization in general.

00:00:11.140 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:13.680 It's filled with content plus sipping.

00:00:16.880 And today, the news has served up delicious content, sometimes, oh, maybe better than

00:00:25.440 you've ever seen before.

00:00:26.900 It's the good stuff.

00:00:27.920 But if you want to enjoy the good stuff, even more than usual, all you need is a cup or

00:00:33.400 a mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:38.120 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:40.580 I like coffee.

00:00:42.600 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:46.920 It's the dopamine hit of the day.

00:00:48.540 The thing makes everything better.

00:00:50.480 We're going to add a little oxytocin today.

00:00:52.940 And it's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:54.560 Go.

00:00:57.920 Well, I've been prompted by a comment over there on YouTube to remind you that sunshine

00:01:10.500 is the best disinfectant.

00:01:14.120 Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

00:01:16.520 Or, as CNN likes to say it, don't drink bleach, you idiot.

00:01:24.000 That's their interpretation.

00:01:25.840 Speaking of fake news from CNN, apparently everybody who is smart is predicting that the

00:01:33.140 U.S. power grid is going to have some serious trouble this summer.

00:01:37.780 And CNN is telling us what is the root cause of the energy shortage to come.

00:01:45.860 What do you think is the root cause, according to CNN, of why there will be energy shortages,

00:01:51.500 electricity, and blackouts?

00:01:54.200 What would be the cause?

00:01:57.240 Russia? 0.61

00:01:57.840 No.

00:01:58.180 No, not Russia.

00:02:00.760 Climate change.

00:02:02.520 Climate change, yes.

00:02:03.560 There will be the severe droughts because the temperatures will be higher, and there will

00:02:08.380 be ongoing droughts.

00:02:10.700 I'm assuming the drought part has to do with how much water could be released from hydroelectric

00:02:16.660 dams, presumably.

00:02:19.600 So, yes, the problem is not that we've underinvested.

00:02:23.240 The problem is not that we're closing perfectly good nuclear power plants too early.

00:02:27.600 The problem is not that every single rule that has changed in, let's say, California,

00:02:34.780 as a highly impacted state, goes against the interests of the people in terms of keeping

00:02:40.720 the lights on.

00:02:42.040 No, no.

00:02:42.760 It's climate change.

00:02:45.360 CNN has the balls, and we're going to be talking about genitalia a lot today, by the way.

00:02:51.240 CNN has the balls to full-throatedly put the entire blame of this on climate change.

00:02:59.980 Now, what would you do if you believed that climate change was a problem?

00:03:04.560 You would probably reduce the amount of fossil fuels that you're using as quickly as you could.

00:03:11.880 Thank you, Greta Thunberg.

00:03:14.920 And would that make the problem better because you're working hard at solving the climate change?

00:03:20.120 Would it?

00:03:21.680 Would that make the price of energy go down and the availability be greater?

00:03:28.060 No.

00:03:29.480 No, no, it wouldn't.

00:03:31.940 Hello, Adam.

00:03:34.360 And so watch CNN try to turn the energy crisis not into a Democrat governor's destroying everything,

00:03:44.100 but rather it's about the climate change.

00:03:47.100 Sounds like something that Republicans have broken, doesn't it?

00:03:50.120 Yes, the Republicans have broken the climate, which has a cascading effect all the way to your electricity going off in California.

00:04:00.460 That is the narrative that you will be abused with over the coming year.

00:04:05.900 Well, I have a question about Governor DeSantis.

00:04:11.780 So Governor DeSantis signed a bill that will increase punishments for fentanyl tracking.

00:04:20.000 He is one of how many governors?

00:04:23.660 50.

00:04:24.180 Why is he the only one doing this?

00:04:29.260 And wasn't this free money just sitting on the table?

00:04:34.180 It's the biggest problem.

00:04:35.640 It's killed the most people between, what, 18 and 49?

00:04:38.640 The leading cause of death.

00:04:40.260 More than the pandemic.

00:04:42.320 More than everything.

00:04:43.820 The leading cause of death is overdose and fentanyl being the biggest part of that.

00:04:50.460 And so Ron DeSantis is acting directly on that problem.

00:04:56.220 He acknowledges that we have to reduce the demand for it,

00:04:59.960 so he's not ignoring the fact that it's half a demand problem and half a supply problem.

00:05:04.880 Well, maybe it's 75% demand and 25% supply, but you have to attack both.

00:05:11.700 And so he's saying, yes, got to do something about the demand,

00:05:16.180 but we're going to do everything we can about this supply.

00:05:20.760 Now, what he has done, and he said it explicitly,

00:05:24.520 is instead of treating the dealer who gives you an overdose level as a dealer,

00:05:31.120 you treat them like a murderer, because they are.

00:05:35.740 If you're a fentanyl dealer, you're killing people, right?

00:05:40.460 Unless you've sold it once to one person and they lived.

00:05:44.160 But if you're a regular fentanyl dealer, you're killing people.

00:05:47.120 You're a murderer.

00:05:48.620 And so DeSantis, the only governor who's figured out that that's murder,

00:05:54.700 changes the laws to increase the penalties,

00:05:57.600 consistent with the fact that it's fucking murder, right?

00:06:02.920 It's murder.

00:06:04.420 So here's my question.

00:06:08.040 Am I the only one who thinks that every time Ron DeSantis does anything,

00:06:12.600 he makes all the other politicians look like chimpanzees?

00:06:17.440 Is it just my imagination?

00:06:19.820 Or does he just one time after another

00:06:22.200 hit the right note at the right time?

00:06:24.880 It's like he's composing the symphony

00:06:27.780 where every note is right,

00:06:30.860 and he's competing against people who aren't trying.

00:06:34.080 He makes the other leaders look like they're not trying.

00:06:37.640 And I don't mean that in hyperbolic terms.

00:06:41.840 Actually, literally, with no exaggeration whatsoever.

00:06:45.960 No, take the politics out of it.

00:06:48.080 And by the way, do I agree with everything

00:06:49.900 that Ron DeSantis wants to do?

00:06:52.000 Nope.

00:06:52.940 Nope.

00:06:53.280 I want to be very clear.

00:06:54.800 I'm not a fan of his specific policies in every case, right?

00:06:59.120 Some I like, some I don't.

00:07:00.660 So I'm picking and choosing.

00:07:02.440 I'm not like Team DeSantis, give me your policies.

00:07:06.460 Same with Trump.

00:07:08.020 There was a lot that Trump did that I liked,

00:07:10.180 which I said loudly and often,

00:07:12.440 but there were a whole bunch of things he did

00:07:14.180 that I don't think were, you know, first rate.

00:07:17.800 So I'm going to say the same thing about DeSantis, right?

00:07:21.580 Some stuff I didn't like, and I've said.

00:07:24.100 But overall, if you were just to evaluate him

00:07:26.920 on a skills basis, forget about policy,

00:07:30.380 because that more has to do with your political leaning,

00:07:33.520 but just skill.

00:07:35.860 I'm going to say that there's nobody in his class anymore.

00:07:40.340 He's basically operating completely alone.

00:07:44.900 There's nobody in his class.

00:07:47.880 The next best governor would have to be compared to other people.

00:07:53.480 That's how bad it is.

00:07:55.080 The second best governor, whoever you think that is,

00:07:58.080 shouldn't even be compared to him,

00:07:59.540 because they're not in the same weight class.

00:08:00.800 It's like Conor McGregor, you know,

00:08:03.840 great, great fighter, right?

00:08:06.260 But if you put him against the heavyweight champion

00:08:08.780 of the boxing world, you know, that's a mismatch.

00:08:12.960 So it doesn't matter how great your little governor is.

00:08:16.040 They're a completely different weight class at this point.

00:08:18.920 DeSantis is completely alone in that class of leader

00:08:22.980 that even if you don't like the policies,

00:08:26.460 the class of leadership is completely alone now.

00:08:29.500 So there's not a Republican,

00:08:31.660 there's not a Democrat in that category.

00:08:35.960 Now, here's what's interesting.

00:08:37.380 If you're looking for trends,

00:08:39.920 there's another person who could be this person,

00:08:42.940 who's Michael Schellenberger,

00:08:44.480 running for governor as an independent in California.

00:08:47.940 Now, Schellenberger, like DeSantis,

00:08:50.800 a completely different political animal, right?

00:08:53.380 I'm not going to make a comparison in terms of their policies.

00:08:56.220 But in terms of effectiveness,

00:08:59.500 completely alone.

00:09:02.420 Schellenberger running for governor

00:09:04.060 is in a class by himself,

00:09:07.300 and whoever is the second best candidate,

00:09:10.920 let's say, let's say it's Newsom.

00:09:12.940 He's not in the same class.

00:09:15.460 They're in a completely different weight class.

00:09:18.120 All right, Newsom's a middleweight.

00:09:20.820 Schellenberger is a heavyweight.

00:09:22.000 He's coming in with fully developed specific policies

00:09:26.020 for all of the biggest problems in California,

00:09:28.380 exactly the things that we need fixed.

00:09:30.960 What does Ron DeSantis do that puts him in his own class?

00:09:35.720 He solves problems as they happen

00:09:38.660 with the most rational approach available,

00:09:42.280 does it publicly, shows his work.

00:09:45.060 It's a whole different class.

00:09:46.380 All right, that's what Schellenberger's doing

00:09:48.480 with the specificity of his solutions.

00:09:52.400 So there might be something good happening here.

00:09:55.580 If you saw both of them win,

00:09:57.960 and, you know, DeSantis will win,

00:09:59.640 but imagine if he ran for president and won.

00:10:03.420 Now, that depends on what Trump does, I think, mostly.

00:10:06.280 But suppose it happened.

00:10:07.740 And then suppose Schellenberger wins in California.

00:10:10.100 Those two points of people who just decided to lead

00:10:16.240 and just do what the public needs and wants

00:10:19.320 and do it in some rational way,

00:10:21.520 they're really going to stand out.

00:10:24.040 And then they would start getting imitators.

00:10:26.760 And that's what you want.

00:10:28.380 You want the imitators to say,

00:10:30.100 whoa, did that work?

00:10:31.840 Are you telling me they're doing good policies

00:10:33.820 that make sense and have worked in other places?

00:10:36.680 Are you telling me that that gets you elected?

00:10:38.540 Just think about how close we are

00:10:42.620 to the best thing ever.

00:10:45.660 The best thing ever would be to have good leaders.

00:10:49.340 Because we have everything else.

00:10:54.120 Think about that thought.

00:10:55.580 I'm going to say it again.

00:10:57.040 The best thing that could happen in the United States

00:10:58.900 is that we would figure out how to elect good leaders.

00:11:03.880 And we're almost there.

00:11:05.180 If both of those candidates succeed,

00:11:08.540 let's say to the next level,

00:11:10.480 let's say hypothetically DeSantis becomes president,

00:11:13.900 hypothetically Schellenberger becomes governor of California,

00:11:17.080 they would have proved that being a good leader

00:11:22.260 who has good ideas gets you elected.

00:11:25.760 At the moment, that is not the case.

00:11:28.820 Am I right?

00:11:30.320 At the moment, getting elected means being the most outrageous,

00:11:33.960 the most provocative, saying the craziest things,

00:11:37.480 and getting your base all worked up.

00:11:39.760 And the reason that that's been the way

00:11:42.040 is that nobody could figure out a better way.

00:11:45.340 The best they could come up with

00:11:47.040 is exciting their own base.

00:11:49.200 And then we decided that was all you could do.

00:11:53.560 How many times have you heard talk of Trump

00:11:56.800 and say, okay, okay, he's not going to get any Democrats,

00:12:00.060 but he's going to excite the base so much

00:12:02.100 that that's good enough to get him elected?

00:12:04.220 It didn't work this last time for who knows why.

00:12:08.680 But what if, what if that logic has been killing the country?

00:12:13.360 Because it has been.

00:12:14.060 Don't you think that the political consultants

00:12:17.360 have been telling our leaders,

00:12:19.740 no, no, no, don't say smarter things.

00:12:21.720 Nobody likes that.

00:12:23.660 Say whatever just gets the most attention,

00:12:25.960 and it's like red beef for the base.

00:12:28.840 Don't you think that the advisors

00:12:31.980 are all telling the politicians

00:12:33.960 to do bad things to get themselves elected?

00:12:38.680 It feels like it.

00:12:39.920 And it feels like the Schellenbergers of the world 1.00

00:12:42.300 just said, well, what if I don't?

00:12:44.680 What if I don't do this stupid thing

00:12:46.720 to excite some base to get elected?

00:12:49.500 What if I run as an independent,

00:12:51.860 write two best-selling books about exactly what to do

00:12:55.080 about our biggest problems?

00:12:57.520 How about that?

00:12:59.100 How about that?

00:13:01.140 All right.

00:13:02.560 You voters, Californians in particular,

00:13:07.060 and then perhaps, you know,

00:13:08.660 later if there's a DeSantis to vote for

00:13:10.540 for a national office,

00:13:11.560 you get to decide

00:13:13.400 if the country will be run by people 0.98

00:13:16.380 who have ideas

00:13:17.380 that may not always be the right idea,

00:13:20.380 but you can try them,

00:13:21.280 see what happens, right, and adjust.

00:13:23.080 But do you want a country run by leaders

00:13:24.860 who have ideas

00:13:25.780 that sound pretty good

00:13:28.040 or people who want to excite the base?

00:13:31.120 And you get a choice.

00:13:32.460 You get a choice.

00:13:33.920 Now, I don't know if anybody can see past

00:13:35.460 their party affiliation

00:13:36.700 to decide how to get to the Golden Age.

00:13:39.540 But let me say it again.

00:13:41.480 We have everything

00:13:43.260 except leaders in charge

00:13:48.200 like a Michael Schellenberger

00:13:50.160 and, for president,

00:13:52.740 somebody like a DeSantis.

00:13:54.680 We have everything but that.

00:13:57.660 Imagine if we got that, too.

00:13:59.200 Seriously.

00:14:02.640 Imagine if we got the last part.

00:14:06.160 Leaders who actually knew

00:14:07.400 how to, you know,

00:14:09.180 implement things that are common sense

00:14:11.140 definitely will work.

00:14:13.180 Right?

00:14:16.380 Yeah, it's all we need.

00:14:17.740 And it's close.

00:14:19.020 If both of those elections

00:14:20.460 were won by the most competent leader,

00:14:24.100 we'd be...

00:14:26.020 We would have developed a...

00:14:28.660 Basically, it would be like

00:14:30.080 running the four-minute mile.

00:14:32.240 You know, before anybody

00:14:33.080 ran a four-minute mile,

00:14:34.280 it looked like it couldn't be done.

00:14:35.880 But as soon as the first person did it,

00:14:37.840 you know, lots of people could do it

00:14:39.200 because the psychological barrier fell.

00:14:41.800 Actually, I think that's a fake story.

00:14:43.660 I think just the training improved.

00:14:46.320 The whole thing about the

00:14:47.520 four-minute mile psychological barrier,

00:14:50.540 I don't believe anything about that.

00:14:51.960 I think just that the technology

00:14:54.360 of training got better

00:14:55.560 and somebody was going to run

00:14:57.740 the four-minute mile pretty soon

00:14:59.040 and somebody did.

00:15:00.000 I think that's all it was, really.

00:15:02.540 But I like using it as an example.

00:15:06.900 So if these guys get elected,

00:15:08.460 it could change everything.

00:15:11.100 So speaking of people

00:15:14.600 who are not even trying,

00:15:15.620 let's talk about that.

00:15:16.540 NBC News is coming down hard

00:15:23.280 on Hunter Biden,

00:15:24.560 which is a big story.

00:15:27.540 It's not a story that it's

00:15:29.100 something about Hunter Biden.

00:15:30.900 That's part of the story.

00:15:32.460 But the story is that NBC is doing it.

00:15:35.460 Do you know who NBC is?

00:15:37.600 They are the entity most associated

00:15:39.980 with the intelligence agencies

00:15:43.800 and the Democrats.

00:15:45.660 So they have been,

00:15:47.120 allegedly,

00:15:48.620 carrying water for the CIA

00:15:50.420 and for Democrats in particular.

00:15:53.420 And if you see them spinning a story,

00:15:57.060 you have to assume

00:15:57.920 that it's the new preferred narrative

00:16:00.280 from the left.

00:16:02.780 CNN does the same thing,

00:16:04.360 but NBC is even deeper and darker,

00:16:07.240 according to its critics.

00:16:08.480 I don't have any special information

00:16:11.540 about NBC,

00:16:12.340 so I'm just talking about

00:16:13.180 what people say about them.

00:16:15.720 The Glenn Greenwalds,

00:16:17.480 in particular,

00:16:18.280 who watch this stuff.

00:16:20.200 So if NBC News is coming down

00:16:22.140 on Hunter Biden,

00:16:23.380 that's telling you that somewhere

00:16:24.740 at the top of the Democratic leadership,

00:16:27.440 they've decided that Joe Biden

00:16:29.040 should not be president much longer.

00:16:32.520 Am I right?

00:16:34.300 Would everybody agree

00:16:35.320 with that assessment?

00:16:36.060 That if NBC News is coming,

00:16:38.900 and it looks like the gloves are off,

00:16:40.420 they're coming at him very directly,

00:16:42.380 and they're not hedging it at all.

00:16:44.860 They're basically saying he's a criminal.

00:16:47.920 It may not be illegal,

00:16:49.960 but criminal-like,

00:16:52.280 I'll say criminal-ish

00:16:53.560 without necessarily being illegal.

00:16:57.240 And it's so direct,

00:16:59.400 and they back it up with,

00:17:01.360 you know, their sources,

00:17:02.560 which is the laptop mostly.

00:17:03.660 So apparently Hunter earned,

00:17:09.200 I don't know,

00:17:09.560 $11 million over a five-year period

00:17:13.440 doing deals with Burisma

00:17:17.420 and some Chinese businessman

00:17:21.140 who's accused of doing terrible things.

00:17:24.580 So, and it's not clear

00:17:25.680 what he did for any of that,

00:17:27.120 and then there were some tax issues

00:17:28.660 that they had to pay

00:17:30.080 after the fact and stuff.

00:17:31.300 But the fact that,

00:17:34.080 and then there's the clip

00:17:35.120 of Joe Biden,

00:17:37.120 dad,

00:17:38.540 saying in a,

00:17:39.640 he actually said

00:17:40.340 in his debate with Trump,

00:17:42.400 he denied that

00:17:43.600 Hunter Biden ever did any work

00:17:45.760 for, I think, the Chinese.

00:17:47.300 Is that what he said?

00:17:48.580 Just a complete lie

00:17:49.940 about his son.

00:17:51.160 Just a total lie.

00:17:53.160 And

00:17:53.500 this issue

00:17:55.400 was probably big enough

00:17:56.960 that if it had been reported correctly,

00:17:58.520 it could have changed the election.

00:17:59.460 So,

00:18:02.380 and then

00:18:05.300 GOP congressional sources say

00:18:08.440 that if Republicans

00:18:10.340 take back the House this fall,

00:18:11.700 they'll demand more documents

00:18:13.020 and probe whether any of Biden's income

00:18:15.060 went to his father,

00:18:17.020 President Joe Biden.

00:18:20.000 Is there any doubt

00:18:21.280 that some of Hunter Biden's income

00:18:23.740 went to his father?

00:18:24.540 I feel like,

00:18:27.920 I feel like the emails

00:18:29.980 say that directly.

00:18:31.420 Now,

00:18:31.920 they're talking about

00:18:32.460 specific deals

00:18:33.480 on the 10%.

00:18:34.460 So,

00:18:35.320 it could be

00:18:35.820 that not,

00:18:36.500 not $1 of this

00:18:37.920 $11 million

00:18:38.560 went to his father.

00:18:40.420 It could be.

00:18:41.400 But do you believe that?

00:18:43.680 It seems to me

00:18:44.700 that

00:18:44.980 their business model

00:18:46.520 was established

00:18:47.380 that

00:18:48.640 the big guy

00:18:49.700 gets,

00:18:50.280 gets a taste.

00:18:51.400 Now,

00:18:53.960 again,

00:18:54.480 that doesn't make it illegal.

00:18:57.440 You know,

00:18:57.780 there's just a million ways

00:18:59.160 that you can do things

00:19:00.160 that skirt the law.

00:19:02.020 Because if you're a family member,

00:19:04.200 it's not that unusual

00:19:05.300 that family members

00:19:06.480 finance other family members.

00:19:09.600 Right?

00:19:10.040 So,

00:19:10.580 if Hunter Biden

00:19:11.720 made a big score

00:19:12.660 and bought a house

00:19:14.080 or something

00:19:14.560 for his father,

00:19:16.340 you wouldn't even think

00:19:17.700 that was unusual.

00:19:19.180 Because families do that stuff.

00:19:20.400 I mean,

00:19:20.820 I've,

00:19:21.720 you know,

00:19:21.980 helped my parents

00:19:22.900 get a Florida house,

00:19:24.920 et cetera.

00:19:25.420 So,

00:19:25.740 it's very normal

00:19:26.340 that families

00:19:27.600 move lots of money

00:19:29.000 back and forth

00:19:29.740 for lots of reasons.

00:19:31.960 So,

00:19:32.400 that part might not be illegal

00:19:33.620 or at least

00:19:34.580 you won't be able

00:19:35.340 to find the

00:19:36.000 specific,

00:19:37.420 you know,

00:19:38.300 link to

00:19:38.900 what Hunter did.

00:19:40.760 All right.

00:19:41.580 Here's the next

00:19:42.680 in the

00:19:43.140 not even trying

00:19:44.460 category.

00:19:47.200 Twitter

00:19:47.720 has a

00:19:48.680 head of

00:19:49.620 what they call

00:19:50.140 their

00:19:50.320 crisis

00:19:50.760 misinformation

00:19:51.480 policy.

00:19:53.500 So,

00:19:53.800 it's one

00:19:54.440 individual

00:19:54.920 who's

00:19:56.520 working on

00:19:58.760 labeling

00:19:59.400 misinformation

00:20:01.020 that appears

00:20:01.960 on Twitter.

00:20:03.080 So,

00:20:03.340 if there's,

00:20:03.660 I guess if there's

00:20:04.340 a crisis only,

00:20:06.300 you know,

00:20:06.460 if it's a crisis

00:20:07.100 situation,

00:20:07.820 then they'll get

00:20:08.800 more aggressive

00:20:09.360 about labeling

00:20:10.240 misinformation.

00:20:11.060 information.

00:20:12.440 And,

00:20:13.060 as Chuck

00:20:14.000 Ross reports

00:20:14.980 in the

00:20:15.260 Washington Free

00:20:15.960 Beacon,

00:20:17.020 the person

00:20:17.480 they picked,

00:20:18.140 this fellow

00:20:19.520 named Roth,

00:20:21.480 here are some

00:20:23.300 of the things

00:20:23.720 that he has

00:20:24.180 in his background.

00:20:27.440 He doubted

00:20:28.560 the Hunter

00:20:28.960 Biden laptop

00:20:29.720 story.

00:20:32.340 He said

00:20:33.100 there was

00:20:33.340 no credible

00:20:33.880 evidence

00:20:34.380 that it was

00:20:35.380 hacked or

00:20:35.900 whatever.

00:20:36.120 and in

00:20:39.060 2020,

00:20:40.020 on Twitter,

00:20:40.600 he referred

00:20:41.000 to Trump

00:20:41.480 officials as,

00:20:42.420 quote,

00:20:42.760 actual Nazis.

00:20:45.480 He also

00:20:46.180 called Senate

00:20:46.860 Minority Leader

00:20:47.980 Mitch McConnell,

00:20:49.300 quote,

00:20:49.680 a bag of

00:20:50.340 farts.

00:20:52.080 Okay,

00:20:52.600 I thought for a

00:20:53.200 moment I was

00:20:53.660 going to turn

00:20:54.080 against this

00:20:54.600 guy,

00:20:55.920 but then when

00:20:56.600 he got to

00:20:56.960 the part where

00:20:57.400 he called

00:20:58.240 Senate Minority

00:21:00.440 Leader Mitch

00:21:00.960 McConnell a

00:21:01.860 bag of

00:21:02.280 farts,

00:21:03.160 I said,

00:21:04.680 okay.

00:21:06.120 Okay.

00:21:08.140 If you can be

00:21:09.220 that funny,

00:21:10.540 I'll give you

00:21:11.360 any job you

00:21:11.960 want.

00:21:13.200 You can even

00:21:14.160 be a conspiracy

00:21:15.360 theorist in

00:21:16.840 charge of the

00:21:17.800 misinformation

00:21:18.360 policy.

00:21:19.740 I'll even let

00:21:20.560 you have that.

00:21:21.720 As long as you

00:21:22.620 keep making good

00:21:23.440 jokes, I'm

00:21:25.020 all for it.

00:21:26.140 Yes, Mitch

00:21:26.720 McConnell does

00:21:27.420 remind me of

00:21:28.320 a bag of

00:21:29.020 farts.

00:21:30.080 I'm sorry,

00:21:31.500 it's not

00:21:31.940 political.

00:21:33.120 It's not

00:21:33.600 political.

00:21:34.980 It has

00:21:35.360 nothing to do

00:21:35.960 with Mitch

00:21:36.300 McConnell's

00:21:36.880 performance.

00:21:37.900 It has

00:21:38.400 nothing to do

00:21:39.040 with the

00:21:39.300 policies he

00:21:39.940 has promoted.

00:21:41.640 He just

00:21:42.140 does remind

00:21:43.160 me of a

00:21:43.620 bag of

00:21:44.000 farts.

00:21:44.620 And if I'm

00:21:45.000 going to be

00:21:45.280 honest, I

00:21:45.720 have to give

00:21:46.140 this fellow

00:21:46.540 some credit,

00:21:47.800 this Mr.

00:21:48.320 Roth.

00:21:49.120 So good on

00:21:49.880 you for that.

00:21:51.300 But the

00:21:51.720 ridiculousness of

00:21:52.880 having somebody

00:21:53.480 with his

00:21:53.880 background as

00:21:54.680 the crisis

00:21:55.240 misinformation

00:21:55.980 policy person

00:21:57.040 is wonderful.

00:22:00.540 You know,

00:22:00.900 at some point,

00:22:01.780 it gets so

00:22:02.800 ridiculous that it's

00:22:03.960 more funny

00:22:04.580 than, okay,

00:22:05.880 turtle's good

00:22:06.440 too.

00:22:06.920 It's more

00:22:07.300 funny than

00:22:07.880 bad.

00:22:10.180 All right.

00:22:11.480 Shall we

00:22:11.980 get to the

00:22:12.340 big story of

00:22:12.940 the day?

00:22:14.200 Are you

00:22:14.800 ready for the

00:22:15.380 best spin on

00:22:17.240 the biggest

00:22:17.640 story of the

00:22:18.180 day?

00:22:19.000 I'm going to

00:22:19.620 talk about the

00:22:21.500 Elon Musk

00:22:22.740 accusations, and

00:22:24.800 it will be the

00:22:25.360 best thing you

00:22:25.940 heard all day.

00:22:27.360 Other people

00:22:27.820 will talk about

00:22:28.520 this, but

00:22:29.740 nobody will do

00:22:30.900 it as well as

00:22:31.780 I'm about to

00:22:32.460 do it.

00:22:33.380 Have I

00:22:33.700 oversold it?

00:22:35.120 Well, let's

00:22:35.720 see.

00:22:36.420 Let's see if I

00:22:37.080 can make good

00:22:37.740 on that claim.

00:22:39.160 So the claim

00:22:39.800 is there's a

00:22:40.720 flight attendant

00:22:42.260 for the, I

00:22:43.600 guess, the

00:22:43.900 private jets

00:22:44.560 that Elon

00:22:46.040 rides in, his

00:22:47.060 own company,

00:22:48.120 SpaceX, and

00:22:49.440 apparently one

00:22:50.260 of the flight

00:22:50.960 attendants learned

00:22:53.100 to become a

00:22:53.680 masseuse so

00:22:55.220 that Elon

00:22:55.820 could get a

00:22:56.980 massage while

00:22:59.460 he's flying.

00:22:59.940 Now, you

00:23:01.720 always hear about

00:23:02.300 how hard he's

00:23:02.960 working, but

00:23:04.380 you don't hear

00:23:04.920 about the fact

00:23:05.540 that when he

00:23:06.040 travels, he's

00:23:06.680 being massaged

00:23:07.480 in his private

00:23:08.180 plane.

00:23:09.440 When I travel,

00:23:10.920 I'm doing okay.

00:23:12.900 I'm still sitting

00:23:13.860 in a little seat

00:23:14.560 and I'm

00:23:14.840 uncomfortable.

00:23:16.220 So when I

00:23:17.020 work and I

00:23:18.400 go on a

00:23:18.740 business trip,

00:23:19.760 I'm working.

00:23:21.380 It hurts.

00:23:22.700 I'm in pain.

00:23:23.880 I'm crunched

00:23:24.820 up.

00:23:25.140 I'm not eating

00:23:25.660 right.

00:23:26.080 I'm not sleeping

00:23:26.700 right.

00:23:27.100 I'm in pain.

00:23:28.220 But apparently

00:23:28.940 Elon Musk,

00:23:29.800 is putting

00:23:32.440 everybody on

00:23:33.000 his schedule

00:23:33.580 so he doesn't

00:23:34.080 have to get

00:23:34.480 up or go

00:23:35.000 to sleep at

00:23:35.500 any particular

00:23:35.980 time.

00:23:36.720 So he has

00:23:37.080 meetings at

00:23:37.580 10 o'clock

00:23:38.040 at night and

00:23:38.700 probably, oh

00:23:39.760 God, 100 in

00:23:40.460 the morning.

00:23:41.260 And he's

00:23:41.900 getting massaged

00:23:43.280 on his private

00:23:44.000 jet on the way

00:23:44.720 to a meeting.

00:23:46.240 Now, if that

00:23:47.360 were the way I

00:23:47.960 worked, I

00:23:49.680 could work 18

00:23:50.460 hours a day

00:23:51.160 under those

00:23:52.080 conditions.

00:23:53.440 You would just

00:23:54.160 need your private

00:23:55.620 jet and your

00:23:56.320 private masseur.

00:23:58.000 But this

00:23:58.920 woman who 0.99

00:24:00.440 had been a

00:24:01.600 flight attendant

00:24:02.200 converted to

00:24:03.180 flight attendant

00:24:04.360 slash massage

00:24:05.420 therapist is

00:24:07.620 accusing Elon of

00:24:09.120 whipping out his

00:24:09.940 member and

00:24:11.080 asking for

00:24:11.780 more.

00:24:13.680 And then he

00:24:14.160 allegedly,

00:24:14.960 allegedly, we'll

00:24:16.400 talk about how

00:24:17.080 true this is,

00:24:18.360 allegedly, he

00:24:19.960 offered her a

00:24:21.020 horse because she 0.81

00:24:22.060 had some kind of

00:24:22.880 equestrian hobby.

00:24:23.960 company and

00:24:25.320 eventually there

00:24:26.040 was a $250,000

00:24:27.120 payoff by the

00:24:28.020 company to make

00:24:29.780 her story go

00:24:30.540 away.

00:24:32.560 Now, as others

00:24:33.700 have pointed out,

00:24:34.360 $250,000 is

00:24:35.460 sort of like, is

00:24:37.240 nothing like an

00:24:37.920 admission of guilt.

00:24:39.360 It's more like just

00:24:40.340 making something go

00:24:41.140 away at that level.

00:24:42.860 It doesn't really

00:24:43.460 say anything about

00:24:44.180 guilt.

00:24:46.440 Elon Musk has

00:24:47.280 completely denied

00:24:48.580 the story.

00:24:50.500 Completely denied

00:24:51.420 it.

00:24:51.880 But here's the fun

00:24:52.600 part, more than

00:24:54.980 one.

00:24:55.940 Prior to this

00:24:56.900 accusation, Musk

00:24:58.360 had tweeted that

00:25:00.320 in March of

00:25:02.840 2021, so over a

00:25:04.640 year ago, or

00:25:06.320 almost a year ago,

00:25:07.000 he said, if

00:25:07.860 there's ever a

00:25:08.500 scandal about me,

00:25:09.980 please call it

00:25:11.360 Elon Gate.

00:25:13.760 Elon Gate.

00:25:15.600 And then when this

00:25:16.880 scandal broke, he

00:25:17.760 tweets,

00:25:18.100 finally, we get to

00:25:23.720 use Elon Gate, a

00:25:24.780 scandal name.

00:25:25.620 It's kind of

00:25:26.160 perfect.

00:25:29.640 Okay.

00:25:30.920 Has anybody ever

00:25:31.980 handled a scandal

00:25:32.980 better than that?

00:25:35.140 All right.

00:25:35.580 If that's the only

00:25:36.460 thing he had done,

00:25:37.800 if the only thing

00:25:38.780 he had done is

00:25:39.400 branded his own

00:25:40.380 scandal, it would

00:25:41.940 be the best that

00:25:42.800 anybody had ever

00:25:43.660 handled a scandal.

00:25:44.980 He knew it was

00:25:45.820 coming, he

00:25:47.060 pre-branded it to

00:25:48.400 make it funny, and

00:25:49.860 then because it's

00:25:50.560 funny, the branding

00:25:52.020 of it, and it's

00:25:52.600 coming from him, it's

00:25:54.840 hard to think of the

00:25:55.640 accusation because the

00:25:57.760 way he treated it is

00:25:58.640 so funny.

00:25:59.780 You can't beat

00:26:00.680 that.

00:26:02.560 Now, does anybody

00:26:03.460 think that you could

00:26:04.160 top that?

00:26:05.780 Is there any way to

00:26:06.940 handle a scandal of

00:26:07.880 this nature better

00:26:08.760 than that?

00:26:10.700 No, you're all

00:26:11.480 wrong.

00:26:12.260 You're all wrong.

00:26:13.380 There is a way to

00:26:14.320 do it better than

00:26:15.060 that.

00:26:16.740 And I think he

00:26:17.720 did it.

00:26:19.220 This will be the

00:26:20.100 only place you're

00:26:20.960 ever going to hear

00:26:21.540 the following thing.

00:26:22.640 Are you ready for

00:26:23.240 it?

00:26:26.800 So, then Elon Musk

00:26:28.380 tweets this.

00:26:31.780 There's going to be a

00:26:32.680 standing ovation

00:26:33.500 coming.

00:26:34.780 I hope all of you

00:26:35.640 are ready to help

00:26:36.540 me.

00:26:37.480 Because what you're

00:26:38.360 about to see is

00:26:40.380 maybe the best thing

00:26:41.460 I've ever seen in my

00:26:44.480 whole life.

00:26:45.820 So, you think that

00:26:46.720 naming his scandal

00:26:47.940 elongate before they

00:26:49.260 name it, you think

00:26:50.560 that's good.

00:26:51.780 You haven't seen

00:26:52.520 anything yet.

00:26:54.040 And let me say

00:26:54.740 this.

00:26:55.780 He didn't become the

00:26:57.180 richest person in the

00:26:58.200 world by luck.

00:27:01.100 It turns out he has

00:27:02.340 some game.

00:27:04.280 Watch this.

00:27:05.540 He tweets the

00:27:06.420 following.

00:27:07.400 Having denied that

00:27:08.500 anything like this

00:27:09.380 accusation happened,

00:27:11.100 he says the following

00:27:12.160 in a tweet.

00:27:12.700 But I have a challenge

00:27:14.440 to this liar who 0.85

00:27:15.960 claims their friend

00:27:16.960 saw me, quote,

00:27:17.880 exposed.

00:27:19.260 Describe one thing,

00:27:21.240 anything at all,

00:27:22.440 scars, tattoos,

00:27:24.340 dot, dot, dot,

00:27:25.260 that isn't known by

00:27:26.580 the public.

00:27:27.540 She won't be able to

00:27:28.740 do so because it

00:27:29.900 never happened.

00:27:31.800 Now, is this why I

00:27:34.220 say it's the best

00:27:36.300 thing that ever

00:27:37.080 happened?

00:27:37.440 Is this why?

00:27:39.940 That he actually

00:27:40.700 challenged somebody

00:27:42.440 to describe his

00:27:44.160 intimate parts in a

00:27:46.640 tweet.

00:27:48.960 Now, I'm not done

00:27:50.360 yet.

00:27:51.060 Hold on.

00:27:52.320 I'm not done.

00:27:55.100 And I said to

00:27:56.080 myself, I can think

00:27:58.580 of a couple reasons

00:27:59.380 you might do this.

00:28:01.100 The first reason I

00:28:02.360 thought is, well,

00:28:03.140 maybe she can't do 0.99

00:28:04.080 it.

00:28:05.140 And then, you know,

00:28:05.960 maybe there's

00:28:06.380 something that he has

00:28:07.320 a tattoo or

00:28:08.000 something.

00:28:08.720 And I thought,

00:28:09.320 this is a good

00:28:09.920 strategy because she

00:28:11.600 won't be able to

00:28:12.240 describe it in an

00:28:13.300 accurate way.

00:28:14.900 And then I thought,

00:28:16.640 I need to tweet

00:28:19.120 something.

00:28:20.000 Or no, I need to

00:28:20.660 search for something.

00:28:21.860 It was just a wild

00:28:22.620 thought in the back

00:28:23.300 of my head.

00:28:23.660 And I thought, I

00:28:25.700 wonder, is this

00:28:27.540 just a clever play

00:28:29.020 or is it the best

00:28:32.280 fucking thing I've

00:28:33.300 ever seen in my

00:28:34.080 life?

00:28:35.020 And I needed to

00:28:35.840 know.

00:28:36.100 And so I

00:28:37.440 Google searched

00:28:38.300 for the size

00:28:39.980 of Elon Musk's

00:28:41.200 cock.

00:28:44.060 And I found

00:28:45.120 on a top

00:28:46.220 search that

00:28:48.140 his girlfriend

00:28:49.200 Grimes,

00:28:51.260 apparently in

00:28:52.020 public, has

00:28:52.620 described his

00:28:53.500 cock as very

00:28:55.920 large.

00:28:58.280 Do you see it

00:28:59.340 yet?

00:29:00.840 Elon Musk,

00:29:02.280 the richest man

00:29:03.240 in the world,

00:29:04.460 just got the

00:29:05.640 entire world

00:29:06.540 to figure out

00:29:08.380 what it is that

00:29:09.100 could be special

00:29:10.600 or different,

00:29:12.020 something that the

00:29:12.860 public would not

00:29:13.560 be necessarily

00:29:14.240 aware of,

00:29:15.300 that would be an

00:29:16.060 identifying element

00:29:17.360 of his intimate

00:29:18.960 parts.

00:29:20.500 And he already

00:29:21.500 knows the answer.

00:29:24.620 It's huge.

00:29:25.520 It's huge.

00:29:25.560 he actually did

00:29:32.220 this.

00:29:34.020 May we,

00:29:34.600 may we,

00:29:35.380 can we take a

00:29:36.000 moment?

00:29:37.300 Would you join me

00:29:38.340 in a standing

00:29:39.360 ovation?

00:29:41.060 Would you?

00:29:42.240 Please.

00:29:43.220 Please.

00:29:43.620 And a

00:29:55.460 simultaneous sip

00:29:56.400 for the

00:29:58.960 best reaction

00:30:00.440 to a public

00:30:01.720 scandal

00:30:02.300 of all

00:30:03.580 time.

00:30:04.720 Go.

00:30:05.060 Go.

00:30:09.140 Ah.

00:30:13.620 Now,

00:30:16.700 when Elon Musk

00:30:18.440 challenged her

00:30:19.340 to describe

00:30:20.540 his intimate

00:30:21.000 parts,

00:30:21.580 I tweeted,

00:30:22.680 I wonder if

00:30:23.300 this contest

00:30:24.100 is open

00:30:24.620 to the public

00:30:25.260 because I

00:30:26.940 have some

00:30:27.220 ideas.

00:30:28.220 I mean,

00:30:28.900 I don't have

00:30:29.360 a first-hand

00:30:30.140 knowledge,

00:30:31.500 but I'm just

00:30:32.980 going to go

00:30:33.300 with a guess.

00:30:34.140 And my guess

00:30:34.680 was this.

00:30:35.240 I think that

00:30:36.000 when Musk

00:30:37.880 is in what

00:30:38.400 we'll call

00:30:38.840 the elongate

00:30:39.940 phase of

00:30:40.840 his excitation,

00:30:42.560 that he's

00:30:43.200 somewhere

00:30:43.440 between a

00:30:44.100 Falcon 9

00:30:44.880 and a

00:30:45.940 Falcon XX

00:30:48.460 design.

00:30:50.080 Now,

00:30:50.380 if you see

00:30:50.720 these rockets,

00:30:51.460 there are

00:30:52.060 charts of

00:30:53.380 all the

00:30:53.640 different rockets,

00:30:54.440 the past

00:30:54.920 and future,

00:30:55.720 and they're

00:30:56.200 all slightly

00:30:56.660 different shapes.

00:30:57.480 They're all,

00:30:57.960 of course,

00:30:58.560 phallic-shaped.

00:30:59.800 But if I

00:31:00.460 had to guess,

00:31:01.740 probably somewhere

00:31:02.600 between the

00:31:03.160 Falcon 9

00:31:03.780 and the

00:31:04.820 Falcon Heavy,

00:31:06.140 something like

00:31:06.500 that,

00:31:07.400 that's just

00:31:07.900 a guess.

00:31:09.360 I stress

00:31:10.320 that I'm

00:31:10.860 not speaking

00:31:11.800 from experience.

00:31:13.200 All right.

00:31:16.160 Speaking of

00:31:17.120 people who

00:31:18.140 have had

00:31:18.540 sex with 0.73

00:31:19.920 Elon Musk,

00:31:21.180 the Amber

00:31:21.620 Turd trial

00:31:22.240 continues,

00:31:24.220 and apparently

00:31:24.720 Amber Turd is

00:31:25.460 in trouble

00:31:25.900 with Australian

00:31:27.680 immigration because 0.62

00:31:28.960 in an unrelated

00:31:30.340 case to the

00:31:31.380 stuff she's

00:31:32.620 in the news

00:31:33.020 for,

00:31:33.660 apparently she

00:31:34.440 tried to

00:31:34.980 smuggle her 0.99

00:31:35.580 dogs into

00:31:36.220 Australia during

00:31:37.080 the pandemic,

00:31:37.640 and she lied

00:31:39.160 on a forum

00:31:39.780 that she didn't

00:31:40.440 have anything

00:31:40.880 to declare.

00:31:42.740 Now,

00:31:43.360 let me tell

00:31:44.060 you something

00:31:44.520 about people

00:31:46.160 who have been

00:31:46.720 diagnosed with

00:31:48.540 the psychiatric

00:31:49.480 or personality

00:31:50.380 disorder that

00:31:52.040 Amber Turd has

00:31:52.760 been diagnosed

00:31:53.840 with.

00:31:54.500 So I think

00:31:55.000 it's that

00:31:55.300 category B

00:31:56.180 or two

00:31:56.720 or whatever

00:31:57.140 it is,

00:31:57.700 where you've

00:31:58.580 got the

00:31:58.840 borderline

00:31:59.280 personality,

00:32:00.340 and it's

00:32:00.580 sort of like

00:32:01.160 a vulnerable

00:32:02.360 narcissist,

00:32:03.320 and it's

00:32:03.600 sort of like

00:32:04.160 hysterical

00:32:05.420 something.

00:32:06.020 So they're

00:32:06.280 like three

00:32:06.620 different names,

00:32:07.340 but they're

00:32:07.560 all in that

00:32:07.900 same area.

00:32:09.080 If you're

00:32:09.740 in that

00:32:10.080 category,

00:32:11.120 you don't

00:32:12.240 just lie

00:32:12.980 about your

00:32:14.200 boyfriend or

00:32:15.960 your husband.

00:32:16.980 You lie

00:32:17.660 about everything

00:32:18.360 all the time.

00:32:20.440 The people

00:32:21.140 of that

00:32:21.420 category just

00:32:22.020 lie about

00:32:22.540 everything.

00:32:23.420 They just

00:32:23.780 can't turn

00:32:24.200 it off.

00:32:24.660 It's just

00:32:25.000 lying all

00:32:26.140 the time.

00:32:27.120 So do

00:32:27.740 you think

00:32:28.060 that she

00:32:28.380 lied on

00:32:28.880 an immigration 0.93

00:32:29.460 forum to

00:32:29.960 get her 0.89

00:32:30.200 dog into

00:32:30.700 Australia?

00:32:33.320 Well,

00:32:33.820 I don't think

00:32:34.120 so.

00:32:35.340 Cluster B

00:32:36.040 is what it's

00:32:36.540 called.

00:32:36.840 Yeah,

00:32:37.000 the Cluster

00:32:37.540 B,

00:32:37.960 personality

00:32:38.460 disorders.

00:32:39.620 When you're

00:32:40.160 in there,

00:32:40.540 you lie

00:32:40.840 about

00:32:41.060 everything.

00:32:42.120 So would

00:32:43.700 you believe

00:32:44.220 anything she

00:32:44.940 said on

00:32:45.400 the trial

00:32:45.900 if you

00:32:46.880 know she's

00:32:47.320 actually been

00:32:48.940 diagnosed as

00:32:51.080 a personality

00:32:51.780 type who

00:32:52.240 lies about

00:32:52.780 basically

00:32:53.240 everything?

00:32:56.020 How could

00:32:56.760 Johnny Depp

00:32:57.300 ever lose

00:32:57.960 this thing

00:32:58.500 when he's

00:32:59.840 competing against

00:33:00.600 somebody who's

00:33:01.200 diagnosed by

00:33:02.040 experts as a

00:33:02.900 person who

00:33:03.280 lies about

00:33:03.720 everything?

00:33:04.660 Everything.

00:33:04.960 Who knows?

00:33:07.880 The jury

00:33:08.420 could do

00:33:08.740 anything,

00:33:09.180 but it

00:33:10.500 should be

00:33:10.920 an easy

00:33:11.240 case.

00:33:12.440 All right,

00:33:12.640 Rasmussen has

00:33:13.340 a poll if

00:33:14.620 a generic

00:33:15.440 Republican ran

00:33:17.160 against a

00:33:17.620 generic Democrat

00:33:18.700 in the midterms,

00:33:19.680 who'd win?

00:33:20.040 and the gap

00:33:21.680 has widened.

00:33:23.320 So it's

00:33:23.960 gone from

00:33:24.360 an 8%

00:33:24.840 gap to

00:33:25.360 9%.

00:33:26.320 48%

00:33:27.620 would vote

00:33:28.180 for the

00:33:28.920 GOP

00:33:29.600 generic

00:33:30.700 candidate,

00:33:31.520 over 39%

00:33:32.740 for the

00:33:33.080 Dems.

00:33:33.600 But that

00:33:34.220 is misleading,

00:33:36.100 isn't it?

00:33:37.360 It's

00:33:37.960 misleading.

00:33:39.140 Because

00:33:39.780 everybody

00:33:41.120 thinks that

00:33:41.780 their

00:33:42.380 incumbent

00:33:43.160 is the

00:33:43.620 good one.

00:33:46.000 People can

00:33:47.000 say,

00:33:47.300 yeah,

00:33:47.680 generally

00:33:48.060 speaking,

00:33:49.780 you know,

00:33:50.240 that I

00:33:51.260 might vote

00:33:51.700 for a

00:33:52.460 Republican.

00:33:53.220 But when

00:33:53.660 it comes

00:33:53.940 to the

00:33:54.220 actual

00:33:54.660 vote for

00:33:55.280 their

00:33:55.460 actual

00:33:56.040 state,

00:33:57.620 they're

00:33:58.200 going to

00:33:58.380 say,

00:33:58.740 oh,

00:33:59.380 well,

00:34:00.060 mine is

00:34:00.580 good.

00:34:01.160 I think

00:34:01.480 other people

00:34:01.960 should get

00:34:02.420 different

00:34:03.440 politicians,

00:34:05.620 but mine's

00:34:06.240 good.

00:34:06.900 I'll keep

00:34:07.220 mine.

00:34:08.440 So don't

00:34:09.440 get too

00:34:09.920 excited about

00:34:10.540 these generic

00:34:11.420 numbers,

00:34:11.980 because people

00:34:12.500 don't vote

00:34:13.000 generically.

00:34:13.480 they vote

00:34:14.440 for specific

00:34:15.440 people.

00:34:17.300 All right.

00:34:19.080 Let me ask

00:34:19.880 you this

00:34:20.100 general

00:34:20.500 question.

00:34:22.080 Apparently

00:34:22.440 this,

00:34:23.000 getting back

00:34:23.440 to this

00:34:23.680 Elon Musk

00:34:24.200 thing,

00:34:24.880 the allegation

00:34:25.640 comes not

00:34:26.200 from the

00:34:26.800 woman who 0.99

00:34:27.720 was allegedly,

00:34:30.400 but we have

00:34:31.240 strong denials,

00:34:32.900 the victim.

00:34:34.820 How often

00:34:35.780 do women 1.00

00:34:36.500 lie to

00:34:37.120 their good

00:34:37.580 friends about

00:34:38.860 a sexual

00:34:39.600 encounter

00:34:40.140 with a

00:34:40.740 man?

00:34:40.960 how often

00:34:44.880 do good

00:34:46.680 friends,

00:34:47.300 women, 1.00

00:34:48.640 lie

00:34:49.400 about,

00:34:51.500 even to

00:34:52.020 their good

00:34:52.460 friend,

00:34:53.600 about exactly

00:34:54.480 what a

00:34:54.840 situation

00:34:55.300 was with

00:34:56.380 a man?

00:35:02.060 How many

00:35:03.060 times have

00:35:03.740 I experienced

00:35:04.660 a female 0.98

00:35:06.060 lying about

00:35:07.420 her relationship

00:35:08.240 with a man

00:35:09.000 to me?

00:35:10.960 just in

00:35:11.920 the last

00:35:12.280 year?

00:35:13.120 Maybe

00:35:13.360 six to

00:35:14.880 ten times?

00:35:17.660 Yeah,

00:35:18.000 probably six

00:35:19.080 to ten times,

00:35:19.860 just me

00:35:20.220 personally,

00:35:21.240 in a variety

00:35:22.080 of contexts,

00:35:23.440 right?

00:35:24.220 Different

00:35:24.640 people have

00:35:26.160 told me,

00:35:26.920 you know,

00:35:27.220 blah,

00:35:27.460 blah,

00:35:27.580 blah,

00:35:27.800 this was

00:35:28.140 my

00:35:28.340 relationship,

00:35:28.800 only to

00:35:29.400 later say,

00:35:30.440 well,

00:35:30.760 I left

00:35:31.180 something out.

00:35:32.680 And it

00:35:32.900 completely

00:35:33.320 reverses the

00:35:34.120 story.

00:35:35.900 Right?

00:35:36.700 All the

00:35:37.340 time.

00:35:37.820 women, 1.00

00:35:39.860 I don't

00:35:40.100 think women 0.63

00:35:40.580 understand,

00:35:41.940 maybe they

00:35:42.400 do,

00:35:42.700 I don't

00:35:42.900 know,

00:35:43.720 how often

00:35:44.500 their best

00:35:45.000 friends lie

00:35:45.600 to them

00:35:45.940 about their

00:35:46.500 sexual

00:35:47.160 activities.

00:35:48.400 It's pretty

00:35:49.260 common.

00:35:51.780 People kind

00:35:52.680 of shade

00:35:53.220 the story,

00:35:54.100 you know,

00:35:54.320 the way that

00:35:54.700 makes them

00:35:55.180 look good

00:35:55.520 to their

00:35:55.820 friend.

00:35:56.840 Yeah.

00:35:57.200 It's probably

00:35:57.660 closer to

00:35:58.320 universally lying

00:35:59.540 than,

00:36:00.620 you know,

00:36:00.900 more often

00:36:01.360 true than

00:36:01.780 not.

00:36:02.640 Now,

00:36:02.920 let me put

00:36:03.820 it this

00:36:04.060 way.

00:36:04.220 Suppose you

00:36:05.360 heard that

00:36:06.040 there was a

00:36:06.440 story about

00:36:06.920 just an

00:36:07.360 ordinary

00:36:07.740 person,

00:36:08.980 and they

00:36:09.880 were being

00:36:10.260 accused by

00:36:11.180 another

00:36:11.600 ordinary

00:36:12.080 person of

00:36:13.180 some kind

00:36:13.560 of sex

00:36:14.440 impropriety.

00:36:16.220 What would

00:36:16.620 be your

00:36:16.920 first thought?

00:36:18.480 One unknown

00:36:19.300 is accusing

00:36:20.100 another unknown

00:36:20.960 of a sexual

00:36:22.220 crime.

00:36:24.500 You'd probably

00:36:25.300 think it's

00:36:25.700 true.

00:36:26.420 Not

00:36:26.680 necessarily.

00:36:28.120 But you'd

00:36:28.620 probably say,

00:36:29.060 eh, that's

00:36:30.160 75% probably

00:36:31.640 true.

00:36:32.200 Because it's

00:36:32.680 the person who

00:36:33.240 was involved,

00:36:34.220 and, you

00:36:35.380 know, people

00:36:35.780 don't make

00:36:36.660 up accusations

00:36:37.580 all the

00:36:38.260 time.

00:36:39.280 So you'd

00:36:39.940 say, well,

00:36:40.460 probably true.

00:36:41.740 Maybe not,

00:36:42.620 but probably

00:36:43.020 true.

00:36:43.920 But what

00:36:44.480 happens if

00:36:45.000 you have a

00:36:45.580 billionaire,

00:36:46.780 and the

00:36:47.420 accusation

00:36:47.960 comes not

00:36:48.580 from the

00:36:48.920 person who

00:36:49.360 was directly

00:36:49.900 involved?

00:36:51.580 So it's

00:36:52.220 a billionaire

00:36:52.700 male, and

00:36:55.240 the accusation

00:36:55.960 is coming

00:36:56.300 from the

00:36:56.880 friend of

00:36:58.080 the alleged

00:36:58.540 victim.

00:36:59.840 What is

00:37:00.500 the level

00:37:00.940 of credibility

00:37:01.580 you would

00:37:02.100 put on

00:37:02.440 that situation?

00:37:04.220 Let me

00:37:04.640 give you

00:37:04.920 some

00:37:05.120 context.

00:37:06.720 How many

00:37:07.100 times do

00:37:07.820 I, Scott

00:37:09.280 Adams, how

00:37:10.260 many times

00:37:10.660 have I been

00:37:11.260 accused of

00:37:12.140 sex crimes

00:37:12.940 from people

00:37:13.940 I've never

00:37:14.380 met?

00:37:16.620 Quite a few

00:37:17.400 times.

00:37:19.380 It happens

00:37:20.220 all the

00:37:20.780 time.

00:37:21.500 If you're a 0.88

00:37:22.020 public figure,

00:37:23.200 getting falsely

00:37:24.620 accused of sex

00:37:25.540 crimes by people

00:37:26.400 you literally

00:37:27.040 haven't met

00:37:27.680 is a routine

00:37:30.240 situation.

00:37:31.420 Routine.

00:37:32.780 So if you

00:37:33.540 give me a

00:37:34.120 single

00:37:34.580 billionaire,

00:37:35.600 and the

00:37:35.900 accusation

00:37:36.420 comes not

00:37:36.940 from the

00:37:37.300 alleged

00:37:37.580 victim,

00:37:38.100 but from

00:37:38.400 the friend

00:37:38.820 of the

00:37:39.060 victim,

00:37:39.860 who you

00:37:40.260 know heard

00:37:40.860 only lies,

00:37:42.140 because that's

00:37:43.040 the way it

00:37:43.300 works,

00:37:44.480 that's the

00:37:45.360 lowest

00:37:45.580 credibility you

00:37:46.400 could ever

00:37:46.800 put on an

00:37:47.300 accusation.

00:37:51.060 And the

00:37:51.760 timing of the

00:37:52.380 accusations is

00:37:53.380 right when you

00:37:54.360 expect it to

00:37:54.940 happen.

00:37:55.180 So right on

00:37:56.680 schedule,

00:37:57.480 wouldn't you

00:37:57.880 say?

00:37:59.880 And we've

00:38:00.720 got a new

00:38:01.300 endorsement for

00:38:02.260 speaking of

00:38:03.560 Michael Schellenberger

00:38:04.520 running for

00:38:05.120 governor in

00:38:05.520 California.

00:38:06.460 Steven Pinker

00:38:07.260 just fully

00:38:08.840 endorsed him.

00:38:10.960 There's a

00:38:11.660 pattern.

00:38:13.620 The Californians

00:38:14.720 who are

00:38:15.060 endorsing

00:38:15.600 Schellenberger

00:38:16.220 are the

00:38:17.580 smart ones,

00:38:18.940 like the

00:38:19.340 ones that

00:38:19.700 everybody agrees

00:38:20.440 is smart.

00:38:22.240 Steven Pinker,

00:38:23.260 you could

00:38:23.520 disagree with

00:38:24.160 him or you

00:38:24.580 could agree

00:38:24.940 with him,

00:38:25.180 but nobody's

00:38:25.780 going to

00:38:25.960 argue that

00:38:28.080 he's not

00:38:28.840 smart, like

00:38:29.860 he's extra

00:38:30.460 smart.

00:38:31.560 So if you

00:38:32.260 look at the

00:38:32.540 people who

00:38:32.880 are endorsing

00:38:33.580 Schellenberger,

00:38:34.860 they're not

00:38:35.200 the normal

00:38:35.720 people.

00:38:37.180 They are

00:38:37.940 the dads

00:38:39.920 of California,

00:38:40.900 if I could

00:38:41.440 put it that

00:38:41.840 way.

00:38:42.540 They are the

00:38:43.240 smart ones.

00:38:45.000 And it's

00:38:45.700 not a

00:38:45.980 coincidence.

00:38:47.280 Because the

00:38:47.660 smart ones

00:38:48.080 are saying,

00:38:48.600 wait a minute,

00:38:49.060 you could

00:38:49.300 actually solve

00:38:49.900 these problems?

00:38:51.380 As soon as

00:38:52.160 you step out

00:38:52.700 of the political

00:38:53.540 frame, we

00:38:55.100 have all

00:38:55.440 kinds of

00:38:55.800 solutions.

00:38:56.980 And you

00:38:57.360 have to

00:38:57.560 have a

00:38:57.820 certain

00:38:58.060 amount of

00:38:58.500 intellectual,

00:39:00.380 let's say,

00:39:00.980 firepower,

00:39:01.940 before you

00:39:02.920 can even

00:39:03.340 entertain that

00:39:04.100 possibility.

00:39:05.580 Wait, there's

00:39:06.120 a candidate who

00:39:06.760 can step out

00:39:07.380 of the narrative

00:39:07.880 and just work

00:39:09.960 on what works?

00:39:11.560 Apparently there

00:39:12.200 is.

00:39:13.200 Maybe for the

00:39:14.040 first time.

00:39:15.540 So watching

00:39:17.100 who is endorsing

00:39:18.260 him is really

00:39:20.720 interesting.

00:39:21.540 Because these

00:39:21.900 are just not

00:39:22.340 the normal

00:39:22.780 people.

00:39:23.520 These are

00:39:24.060 the people

00:39:24.720 who can

00:39:26.000 see the

00:39:26.440 solution.

00:39:26.960 They can

00:39:27.180 smell it.

00:39:28.340 And they

00:39:28.780 think he's

00:39:29.440 onto it.

00:39:30.860 As I do.

00:39:33.840 All right.

00:39:37.500 Can he win?

00:39:39.100 The answer

00:39:39.520 is yes.

00:39:41.160 If the key

00:39:42.880 to Schellenberger's

00:39:43.840 win is to

00:39:44.640 get into the

00:39:45.320 runoff.

00:39:46.420 In other

00:39:46.720 words, he's

00:39:47.320 got to beat

00:39:47.740 the weaker

00:39:48.400 candidates behind

00:39:49.700 Newsom to

00:39:50.820 get into the

00:39:51.320 top two.

00:39:53.100 If he gets

00:39:53.800 in the top

00:39:54.240 two, then I

00:39:54.920 think it's

00:39:55.260 time that we're

00:39:56.320 going to see

00:39:56.600 them side by

00:39:57.600 side on a

00:39:58.220 debate stage.

00:39:59.680 If you see

00:40:00.480 them on a

00:40:00.920 debate stage,

00:40:01.780 Schellenberger is

00:40:02.640 going to

00:40:03.620 annihilate

00:40:05.020 Newsom.

00:40:06.360 It's going to

00:40:06.860 be a slaughter.

00:40:08.760 So yes,

00:40:09.820 there's a very

00:40:10.620 direct way for

00:40:11.500 him to win.

00:40:12.420 He has to

00:40:12.840 get in the

00:40:13.120 top two,

00:40:13.720 very doable,

00:40:15.120 and then he

00:40:15.600 has to debate,

00:40:16.700 very doable,

00:40:17.740 and then he

00:40:18.300 has to win,

00:40:19.540 almost guaranteed.

00:40:21.700 I mean, we're

00:40:22.380 talking about,

00:40:23.700 and by the

00:40:24.240 way, Newsom's

00:40:24.840 good.

00:40:26.260 Newsom's a

00:40:26.760 good debater.

00:40:27.740 He didn't

00:40:28.020 get where he

00:40:28.440 is by luck,

00:40:29.400 right?

00:40:29.640 He's very

00:40:30.100 talented.

00:40:31.180 So he hasn't

00:40:32.140 been a good

00:40:32.900 leader for

00:40:33.380 California, but

00:40:34.000 as a

00:40:34.300 politician, one

00:40:36.280 of the best,

00:40:37.460 if you're just

00:40:37.920 looking at the

00:40:38.380 political skill,

00:40:39.340 not the

00:40:40.100 stuff done

00:40:40.740 skill.

00:40:41.860 But if you

00:40:42.500 put him on

00:40:42.900 a stage with

00:40:43.500 somebody like

00:40:44.400 Schellenberger who

00:40:45.180 actually has the

00:40:46.060 receipts, it's

00:40:47.580 just going to

00:40:47.920 be a bloodbath.

00:40:49.740 So yeah, he

00:40:51.840 absolutely has a

00:40:53.200 path.

00:40:53.860 But he has to

00:40:54.300 get past the

00:40:54.760 first hurdle of

00:40:55.480 getting into the

00:40:56.500 top two.

00:41:05.040 It's rigged,

00:41:06.100 you say?

00:41:10.380 Have I voted

00:41:11.260 for, you know,

00:41:12.560 I'm not a big

00:41:13.120 voter?

00:41:17.040 Where's the

00:41:17.580 Schellenberger

00:41:18.020 smear job?

00:41:19.220 It's funny, the

00:41:19.960 closest they came

00:41:20.820 to a smear job

00:41:21.620 ended up being a

00:41:22.400 compliment.

00:41:24.640 That's about it.

00:41:27.440 You know, I

00:41:28.100 assume everybody's

00:41:29.000 got some stuff

00:41:30.760 they're going to

00:41:31.100 have to explain,

00:41:32.680 but haven't seen

00:41:34.060 it yet.

00:41:34.400 will he be the

00:41:42.240 new face of

00:41:42.920 white supremacy?

00:41:43.860 I doubt it.

00:41:45.080 Because that's

00:41:45.540 the other thing

00:41:46.000 that Schellenberger 0.94

00:41:46.640 has going for

00:41:47.440 him.

00:41:47.600 He doesn't

00:41:47.940 have some

00:41:48.460 history of

00:41:49.040 talking about

00:41:49.520 woke stuff

00:41:50.260 one way or

00:41:50.860 the other.

00:41:51.860 It feels like

00:41:52.680 it just hasn't

00:41:53.280 been on his

00:41:54.120 radar, which

00:41:55.320 is exactly what

00:41:56.240 you want,

00:41:56.960 right?

00:41:57.620 You want

00:41:57.960 somebody who

00:41:58.400 hasn't even

00:41:58.960 been drawn into

00:41:59.700 that conversation.

00:42:00.840 That's what I

00:42:01.440 want.

00:42:01.940 I want somebody

00:42:02.560 who didn't

00:42:02.840 even know it

00:42:03.260 happened.

00:42:04.400 That would

00:42:05.980 be going too

00:42:06.560 far.

00:42:11.900 So he's

00:42:12.620 saying,

00:42:12.860 Sky has a

00:42:13.580 romantic notion

00:42:14.460 that California

00:42:15.340 can make it

00:42:15.960 out of this.

00:42:17.740 I do.

00:42:19.680 Because I

00:42:20.360 think the

00:42:20.940 law of

00:42:22.420 slow-moving

00:42:22.960 disasters has

00:42:24.680 been very

00:42:25.100 consistent.

00:42:26.480 And while

00:42:27.520 California is

00:42:28.220 heading directly

00:42:28.960 in the wrong

00:42:29.500 direction, we

00:42:31.080 do have enough

00:42:31.780 time.

00:42:33.060 We do have

00:42:33.700 enough time to

00:42:34.380 fix it.

00:42:36.640 It's sudden

00:42:37.260 shocks I

00:42:37.880 worry about.

00:42:38.700 I worry

00:42:39.080 about pandemics,

00:42:40.480 things you

00:42:40.940 didn't see

00:42:41.320 coming, or

00:42:42.140 at least not

00:42:43.960 everybody saw

00:42:44.580 coming.

00:42:46.800 Monkeypox is

00:42:47.980 starting to

00:42:48.980 rise, and it

00:42:50.140 feels like there's

00:42:51.780 no way to stop

00:42:52.480 this monkeypox

00:42:53.360 thing.

00:42:54.820 Because

00:42:55.200 independent of

00:42:56.600 the science, I

00:42:57.280 just feel like the

00:42:57.880 news is going to

00:42:58.540 make it the next

00:42:59.140 big thing, and

00:43:00.300 then it will

00:43:00.660 just become the

00:43:01.480 next big thing.

00:43:05.920 Does the

00:43:06.620 Adams law

00:43:07.340 account for

00:43:08.100 irrational

00:43:08.680 California voters?

00:43:09.820 Yes.

00:43:10.600 It accounts for

00:43:11.200 everything.

00:43:12.800 In the long

00:43:13.640 run, we're

00:43:15.400 really, we,

00:43:16.520 meaning humans,

00:43:17.460 are really, really

00:43:18.260 good at solving

00:43:18.940 big problems, in

00:43:20.200 the long run, and

00:43:21.160 no matter the

00:43:21.760 politics, no

00:43:22.500 matter anything.

00:43:23.660 In the long

00:43:24.280 run, we have

00:43:24.780 solved every

00:43:25.640 problem that

00:43:27.680 would have wiped

00:43:28.240 down civilization.

00:43:28.900 We've solved

00:43:30.300 them all.

00:43:33.220 All right.

00:43:34.580 And I

00:43:37.980 believe I've

00:43:40.180 done everything

00:43:40.640 I need to

00:43:41.160 do.

00:43:42.120 Would you

00:43:42.680 agree that

00:43:43.240 this is the

00:43:43.720 best show

00:43:44.500 you've ever

00:43:44.960 seen, and

00:43:45.520 that nobody

00:43:46.040 will treat

00:43:46.600 the Elon

00:43:47.640 Gay scandal 0.94

00:43:48.380 as well as

00:43:50.880 I did?

00:43:51.920 Can we all

00:43:52.460 agree on

00:43:52.880 that?

00:43:53.260 Yes.

00:43:53.720 It's the

00:43:54.020 best ever.

00:43:55.240 Okay.

00:43:56.140 And now,

00:43:56.840 they hid

00:43:59.860 what?

00:44:00.180 His tweets

00:44:00.600 from last

00:44:01.180 night?

00:44:04.120 Really?

00:44:04.960 So there's

00:44:05.480 an accusation

00:44:06.300 here that

00:44:06.980 some of

00:44:09.740 Elon's tweets

00:44:10.820 were hidden

00:44:11.200 by Twitter.

00:44:11.820 I don't

00:44:12.000 know about

00:44:12.360 that.

00:44:13.740 But

00:44:14.100 tomorrow,

00:44:17.180 maybe even

00:44:17.860 better.

00:44:18.560 Who knows?

00:44:19.360 I mean,

00:44:20.260 you didn't

00:44:20.720 think that

00:44:21.180 today would

00:44:21.940 be so good,

00:44:22.620 did you?

00:44:23.400 Nobody knew

00:44:24.160 how good it

00:44:24.640 would be

00:44:24.920 today.

00:44:25.440 But tomorrow,

00:44:26.080 it could

00:44:27.380 be even

00:44:27.740 better.

00:44:28.580 You never

00:44:28.940 know.

00:44:29.860 All right.

00:44:30.760 That's it

00:44:31.200 for now.

00:44:31.940 I'll talk

00:44:32.300 to you later,

00:44:32.820 YouTubers. 0.92

00:44:33.080 I'll talk

00:44:34.320 to you later.
