Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1764 Scott Adams： Let's Talk About All The Awfulness In The News And Make It Funny

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:09.040 Now, you may have seen that there's yet again another study saying that people who drink coffee regularly have longer lifespans.

00:00:20.900 It's true.

00:00:22.540 And on top of that, there's another study.

00:00:25.260 It's a preprint.

00:00:26.380 Preprint.

00:00:26.980 So it has not been peer-reviewed, but it's looking good.

00:00:33.120 And it says that no one has ever died while watching Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:39.600 Zero.

00:00:40.780 That's right.

00:00:41.920 And nobody has ever had anything less than a peak experience while listening to the simultaneous support participating.

00:00:49.240 And all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or a chelsea, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:55.000 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:58.880 I like coffee.

00:01:00.540 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the thing that will extend your lifespan, guaranteed.

00:01:07.600 It's called science.

00:01:09.620 And your favorite beverage will be fine, too.

00:01:12.440 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:01:17.920 Do it now.

00:01:18.680 Go.

00:01:26.900 So good.

00:01:30.640 Well, let me tell you the story that's on my screen so I can turn it off and have it stop shining at me.

00:01:35.600 So, as you may or may not know, people who are way smarter than I am say that NBC News is usually the organ that the CIA uses to get its message out.

00:01:49.620 Have you ever heard that?

00:01:50.800 Now, I don't know if it's true or how true it is, but it looks true. 0.82

00:01:54.820 If you look at the way they cover the news, the things they've done in the past and the people who are talking about them, it looks true.

00:02:03.600 I mean, I can't verify that sort of thing personally.

00:02:07.100 But today there's a story that is just jaw-droppingly, jaw-dropping.

00:02:15.340 I don't know what else to say about it.

00:02:17.040 I'll just tell you the story, and I'm not even sure I can add any commentary for it.

00:02:21.580 Just know that it comes from NBC and that one of the writers here, Ken Delanian, I think he is sometimes named as, you know, one of the people in this context.

00:02:35.420 All right.

00:02:36.340 So there's a story here that the Biden administration, in a break with the past, right, here's the NBC News report,

00:02:44.980 In a break with the past, the U.S. is using intel to fight an info war with Russia, even when the intel isn't rock solid.

00:02:55.080 Now, do you know what they mean when they say, even when the intel isn't rock solid?

00:03:00.900 It means literally making it up.

00:03:02.840 So here's a story in NBC that's putting a positive spin on the fact that the U.S. government is lying, lying intentionally and for a fact, about what Russia's intentions are.

00:03:23.240 And the example they use is that the United States cleverly said that Russia was planning to use chemical warfare.

00:03:33.620 Apparently, there was no indication of that whatsoever.

00:03:38.060 But the United States cleverly, says NBC, put out that story to maybe keep Russia from using chemical warfare.

00:03:46.380 To which I say, I don't think that's what happened.

00:03:51.080 I don't think that's what happened at all.

00:03:53.940 To me, it just looks like we lied about Russia so that, you know, we could get more funding or support Ukraine or support the narrative.

00:04:04.680 I don't really see that as a clever, preemptive CIA lie to prevent Putin from using chemical weapons.

00:04:12.440 Because if that's all it took, well, if that's all it takes, you've just got to say it first.

00:04:19.660 Oh, I hadn't thought of that.

00:04:23.100 That clever military strategy of saying it first.

00:04:29.340 You know, let's try that with nuclear weapons. 0.71

00:04:32.080 I'm going to try it now.

00:04:35.320 Coming up with a lie.

00:04:37.360 Okay, I got it.

00:04:38.420 Putin is going to launch nuclear weapons at the United States for no reason whatsoever.

00:04:46.520 Now, it's not true.

00:04:48.980 It's not true.

00:04:49.520 There's no indication of that.

00:04:52.000 But I may have just prevented him from doing it.

00:04:56.940 Because until recently, I didn't know that lying about ridiculous shit in public was exactly the same as a military defense.

00:05:04.640 We actually stopped a chemical attack in Ukraine by lying about it first.

00:05:12.420 Now, am I right when I told you that there's almost nothing you could add to this story that isn't more outrageous than the story itself, just by itself?

00:05:23.280 I keep trying to exaggerate it to make it more wild, but it's really hard to exaggerate the fact that NBC News, commonly believed to be an organ of the CIA, is telling us that lying to you is good for you because it kept you safe.

00:05:43.720 Am I really reading that?

00:05:49.320 I mean, what do you say?

00:05:52.320 This is, first of all, it's good.

00:05:56.000 You know, in terms of, am I happy that the CIA is capable enough to do something this wildly effective right in your face?

00:06:05.600 To which I say, yeah, I guess I am happy about that.

00:06:09.060 I mean, allegedly, they're on our side, right?

00:06:11.060 You wouldn't want the CIA to be bad at its job, would you?

00:06:18.040 If they're, you know, mostly on your side.

00:06:21.120 So, I don't know, I have mixed feelings about this.

00:06:24.940 Clearly, they're manipulating, you know, world opinion, and they're telling you right to your face.

00:06:30.460 But the fact that it's so bold kind of makes it acceptable, which I assume is exactly what they're trying to do.

00:06:38.500 They're making an awful thing sound like, hey, not only is this not awful, it's pretty good.

00:06:45.860 You should want more of it.

00:06:47.780 In fact, we're going to lie about more of our potential military enemies because the more we lie about them, the less likely they'll do bad things.

00:06:57.560 They're actually selling it, believe it or not.

00:07:04.420 All right.

00:07:05.220 Well, on a different topic, there's a company that came up with a chainless bicycle.

00:07:13.320 49% less friction.

00:07:15.900 Sounds like a big deal, doesn't it?

00:07:17.400 They've got some kind of clever gear situation with ceramic gears that they get rid of the whole chain assembly and reduce the friction by 49%.

00:07:28.740 Now, one of the reasons that I love having a lot of followers who are engineers, do you know how long it took somebody to debunk that claim?

00:07:39.140 If you have, like, tens of thousands of engineers who follow your account, like I do, you can't get away with anything.

00:07:49.760 So here's what they said.

00:07:51.780 Scott, the 49% less friction applies to just the chain assembly part, which is about 3% of the total friction.

00:08:01.160 So you could reduce that by 49% and not even notice a difference, to which I say, I don't know if that's true, but it's a good comment.

00:08:12.700 I love having engineers.

00:08:16.500 Trust me.

00:08:18.020 If you don't have any engineers in your life, just as sort of bystanders, you know, just sort of witnesses to your life, you need to get some.

00:08:27.320 You know, they say that drinking coffee is correlated with longevity.

00:08:37.060 I will bet you, I'll make you a bet on this.

00:08:39.500 I'll bet you that you could do a study.

00:08:41.860 I would bet a lot on this, that the more engineers you know personally, the longer you'll live and the more money you'll make and the healthier you'll be.

00:08:55.040 Would anybody take that bet?

00:08:57.320 Because it has to make a difference that there's somebody anywhere in your circle who will call you out for being irrational.

00:09:09.380 And engineers will always do that, because they can't help it.

00:09:12.640 You know, engineers don't even know how to be quiet.

00:09:15.160 If somebody's being completely irrational or dangerous or stupid,

00:09:19.240 how does an engineer not mention it?

00:09:23.640 You know, it comes up.

00:09:25.400 It comes up.

00:09:27.180 Right.

00:09:28.420 So make friends with an engineer, as many as you can.

00:09:31.600 I tried to watch the documentary, What is a Woman?

00:09:40.220 And correct me if I'm wrong, but I can only watch that if I subscribe, do a monthly subscription to The Daily Wire.

00:09:49.520 Is that correct?

00:09:50.320 Can somebody, I'm saying yes.

00:09:56.600 Okay.

00:09:57.700 Yeah, unfortunately I'm not going to be able to watch it then.

00:10:00.720 Because I'm not going to watch it illegally.

00:10:03.760 Because, you know, I have a, obviously I have a thing about that.

00:10:07.160 But, but I have this, I just have this rule that, cancel other woke streaming services in exchange.

00:10:23.700 Yeah, I have a rule that I'm not going to buy something for the wrong reason.

00:10:28.280 Like, I would pay cash for it.

00:10:29.720 You know, if, if the, if the price were $25, I actually do believe I can get $25 worth of entertainment value out of it.

00:10:41.200 Just based on the trailer, based on the fact people are talking about it, etc.

00:10:44.900 But I, I've talked about simplification versus optimization.

00:10:53.300 The way to optimize this situation is sign up for a subscription, watch the film, then decide if you want to keep the subscription,

00:11:01.740 and then monitor it and cancel as soon as possible if you decide you don't want it.

00:11:06.300 And if you do want it, well, you win twice.

00:11:09.760 I'm not going to do that.

00:11:11.960 I didn't sign up for homework.

00:11:14.900 I, I, I didn't sign up to go on an adventure.

00:11:18.500 I just wanted to see the, I just wanted to see the documentary.

00:11:22.200 Now, part of the reason that it's annoying to me as a consumer, but also a brilliant business move,

00:11:29.380 is that so many people will want to see it.

00:11:31.660 They will sign up and they'll keep their subscriptions.

00:11:34.300 And as a marketing device, it's pretty genius.

00:11:37.340 But I, I feel like I wish I'd known it was a marketing device.

00:11:41.240 Because when I thought it was a documentary, in the ways that I imagined that, you know, you could just stream it or buy it or something.

00:11:50.140 When I thought it was just a documentary, like, I was all over it.

00:11:53.240 I wanted to watch it.

00:11:54.020 But I don't, no, I'm not going to ask for, there's a lot of advice I get that you, how do I say this?

00:12:06.360 There's, there's a lot of advice about what I could do because of my, you know, Dilbert-y powers or whatever.

00:12:15.180 But it's not really good advice to be using it.

00:12:20.360 Being annoying to other people, just because I can, is just not something I want to, you know, include in my repertoire.

00:12:28.540 You know, one of the things that you can do when you're famous is you can meet other famous people.

00:12:32.280 You can, you know, somebody was saying this, I think Jordan Peterson said this recently on some video I saw, that one of the, one of the superpowers is you can call anybody.

00:12:44.180 You know, if Jordan Peterson rings you up, you'll take the call, right?

00:12:48.920 And, and he was saying that.

00:12:50.800 And, well, I have, you know, smaller, smaller superpowers of that nature.

00:12:56.120 I wouldn't use it.

00:12:57.220 I mean, I'd have to have some life and death reason.

00:13:02.660 You know, it's not a license to be annoying.

00:13:05.340 Anyway, have you seen the controversy about David, I don't know how to pronounce his last name, Weigel?

00:13:12.940 Or is it Weigel?

00:13:15.320 Somebody will help me out there.

00:13:16.980 Who writes on politics for the Washington Post.

00:13:19.160 And he, he, he retweeted a, uh, offensive tweet.

00:13:25.640 An offensive tweet.

00:13:28.000 I'm going to read to you the offensive tweet, but I'm going to tell you how I disavow it so deeply.

00:13:35.720 And that's how I can not be banned from social media.

00:13:40.220 Because I disavow this.

00:13:42.040 It's okay to, apparently, the people who are tweeting it in context were fine.

00:13:47.920 But if you tweeted it, you know, as a native joke, not so good.

00:13:53.180 So, when I show it to you, just know that the context is, not that I think it's hilarious.

00:13:59.860 No, no, no.

00:14:02.780 And if I appear to be laughing even when I read it to you, don't be fooled by that.

00:14:08.800 I am disavowing the hell out of this thing.

00:14:12.040 Hard.

00:14:13.040 Hard disavowal.

00:14:14.520 Okay?

00:14:15.280 Are you ready?

00:14:16.580 This is the sick and demented tweet that David Weigel, or possibly Weigel, tweeted and got in trouble and had to apologize for it.

00:14:27.060 And he didn't write the tweet.

00:14:28.520 He just retweeted it.

00:14:30.560 And that tweet, that offensive, terrible tweet, said the following.

00:14:34.120 Quote,

00:14:35.060 Every girl is bi. 1.00

00:14:37.520 You just have to figure out if it's polar or sexual.

00:14:40.740 You just have to figure out if it's bipolar or bisexual.

00:14:57.820 Well, that's not true.

00:15:00.600 That is not technically true.

00:15:03.860 But he eventually, David Weigel, eventually had to issue an apology.

00:15:11.060 And he was, he was, he was sorry, he was sorry if he offended anybody.

00:15:18.120 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:15:22.880 All right, here's a little rule that I think we should all embrace.

00:15:27.240 Yes, we won't, but we should.

00:15:30.240 If something is offensive, but it sounds like, you know, maybe somebody really means it to be offensive, well, then maybe we should do something about that.

00:15:44.640 I don't want to live in a world where people can insult you and hurt you with words without some pushback.

00:15:52.020 It might be words, but some pushback.

00:15:56.680 But I think we should take this as a standard.

00:15:59.180 That if the so-called offense is absurdist, meaning that no reasonable person could take it literally, you've got to be okay with those.

00:16:13.980 Yet you have to learn, I think you have to learn that if you're so far over the line of being close to reality, that nobody should take that seriously.

00:16:23.560 Let me give you an example to show you, I can turn it around on myself.

00:16:29.700 A long time ago, I had a follower on my live streams, who was a, she described herself anyway, as an African-American woman and a pastor.

00:16:40.240 And she interacted with me a lot, and she was a lot of fun.

00:16:45.320 And at one point, she said something about white stereotypes.

00:16:49.460 And I, you know, asked her what would be an example of a white person's stereotype.

00:16:56.900 And I didn't really know what I was going to get.

00:16:59.400 And her answer was that white people like cheese. 1.00

00:17:03.700 And I laughed for about three hours.

00:17:08.180 I laughed for about three hours.

00:17:10.840 Because here's what makes something funny.

00:17:14.780 Something that feels true but isn't.

00:17:17.100 That's the simplest definition of humor.

00:17:22.480 And by the way, you just learned something that's really powerful.

00:17:27.360 The simplest definition of humor, if you're trying to figure out what is funny or how to make a joke,

00:17:33.580 something that feels like it's true, well, you know it isn't true.

00:17:38.340 Right?

00:17:38.520 So, when you see the joke, well, first of all, if somebody says that, you know, white people like cheese,

00:17:48.380 it just feels true.

00:17:49.640 Because I've been with so many groups of, you know, people of all types.

00:17:56.220 And I'm pretty sure all white people are eating cheese.

00:17:59.180 I feel like if you're white, you eat cheese almost all the time.

00:18:02.760 And I never thought about it.

00:18:04.840 But the moment that I thought about it, it was hilarious to me.

00:18:08.180 Because if I think of all the, every encounter I've ever had with anybody black, 0.56

00:18:17.560 like none of my memories involve them eating cheese.

00:18:20.100 Now, that doesn't mean they don't eat cheese.

00:18:27.600 In fact, if you did a study, I don't know if there'd be any difference at all.

00:18:32.220 I have no idea if there'd be any difference in cheese eating among ethnicities.

00:18:37.160 No idea.

00:18:37.580 But the fact that it struck me as true, because just my, you know, selective observation about the world,

00:18:46.140 was hilarious to me, because I'd never thought about it.

00:18:50.700 Now, in the same way that I am not offended by somebody saying that white people like cheese,

00:18:56.300 it's just absurdist and sort of sounds true but isn't true, so it's funny.

00:19:01.440 When I see that every girl is bi, you just have to figure out if it's bipolar or bisexual, 1.00

00:19:07.260 clearly he doesn't mean that to be literally true.

00:19:09.580 But there's something about it that at least to men, sorry, at least to men, sounds true while we know it's not actually true.

00:19:24.160 So that's the perfect joke.

00:19:26.540 It feels true, but you know it isn't.

00:19:28.940 It's absurdist.

00:19:31.960 So you've got to be able to let that one go.

00:19:33.880 So I can see humor being, you know, not funny and just cruel,

00:19:40.200 and maybe those deserve apologies or not.

00:19:42.800 You could have that argument.

00:19:44.380 But if it's absurdist, I don't know.

00:19:46.900 So here's what I recommend as a standard.

00:19:50.000 And I would like to tell you, here's sort of an insider thing,

00:19:53.800 so you can say you heard it here.

00:19:56.200 If I am ever forced to apologize for something I retweeted,

00:20:00.880 retweeted, and you see me apologize,

00:20:05.100 just know that my apology is part of the joke.

00:20:11.620 You got that?

00:20:13.520 Because it's going to sound a little bit too sincere.

00:20:17.880 I'm going to tweak it 10%.

00:20:19.800 If I tweak it 20%, people are going to say,

00:20:22.840 wait a minute, that's not a sincere apology.

00:20:25.060 I think he's just yanking our chain.

00:20:27.280 So I'm not going to tweak it 20%.

00:20:29.320 I'm going to dial it back.

00:20:32.400 It's going to be a 110% apology.

00:20:35.660 So that you know, I'm just fucking with you.

00:20:41.360 So if I ever have to give that apology,

00:20:45.200 just know, just between us,

00:20:48.860 the apology is part of the joke.

00:20:52.480 All right.

00:20:53.080 So that Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial

00:20:58.160 is rocking civilization in so many ways.

00:21:01.580 Here's what we should have learned.

00:21:04.780 And I thought we would.

00:21:06.640 I thought we were going to learn about defamation laws

00:21:11.120 and who can lie about somebody in what way.

00:21:15.400 And I thought that would be good for the public to know, right?

00:21:17.620 Wouldn't you like to know more about that?

00:21:21.000 Like, who can sue for what

00:21:22.460 and what would it take to win defamation?

00:21:25.100 So I thought we'd learn a lot about that from that trial.

00:21:29.880 I thought we'd,

00:21:31.340 people who have not been subjected to the,

00:21:35.380 let's say, the addiction lifestyle,

00:21:37.740 might have learned something about the depth of addiction

00:21:41.240 and how bad that is,

00:21:43.560 you know, listening to Johnny Depp's story.

00:21:47.440 And then I thought the most important part

00:21:49.300 was that we heard, you know,

00:21:50.800 experts talk about this so-called

00:21:53.400 cluster B personality disorders

00:21:55.760 that allegedly Amber Heard was part of,

00:21:59.460 according to at least one psychiatrist.

00:22:01.220 And I thought, wow,

00:22:03.420 if the public learned all of that,

00:22:06.520 that would be a lot.

00:22:08.660 Imagine how much better off we'd be

00:22:10.420 if we understood what kind of lies

00:22:13.000 you cannot get away with

00:22:14.560 or should not get away with.

00:22:16.320 Imagine if people were more critical

00:22:20.360 about what they hear

00:22:21.660 about accusations of other people

00:22:23.460 and more understanding

00:22:25.640 that things in the headlines

00:22:26.980 can be completely made up.

00:22:29.600 So I would say that

00:22:30.380 that would have been a good lesson.

00:22:32.980 And knowing about addiction,

00:22:35.560 that would be good.

00:22:36.440 And knowing about these cluster B things.

00:22:38.440 But the media has turned this into a story

00:22:40.340 about men versus women.

00:22:42.760 What?

00:22:44.760 Do you know what the Amber Heard

00:22:46.300 and Johnny Depp trial was not about?

00:22:49.820 The thing it was least about

00:22:51.720 was men versus women.

00:22:53.980 That's what it was least about.

00:22:56.520 And somehow the media just turned it into that

00:22:58.520 because that's the cash cow.

00:23:00.240 It's got to be men versus women. 1.00

00:23:01.660 And here's why I say it wasn't.

00:23:04.760 Because you could have reversed the story

00:23:06.860 and just run through the same way.

00:23:11.340 You could have reversed who said what about who

00:23:13.500 and it would have turned out about the same, wouldn't it?

00:23:16.760 Because it was about an addict

00:23:21.740 who was in a dysfunctional relationship

00:23:25.880 with somebody who, according to experts,

00:23:29.440 had cluster B personality disorder.

00:23:31.920 So you should have been learning about an addict

00:23:34.260 and a cluster B personality disorder.

00:23:36.840 And if you put them together,

00:23:38.500 what are you going to get?

00:23:40.000 The fact that that turns into man versus woman? 0.88

00:23:43.640 What?

00:23:45.100 Their genders had nothing to do with it. 1.00

00:23:48.360 You have to actually, like, reach.

00:23:52.000 Even in terms of the physicality

00:23:54.660 and even in terms of who was able to hurt who the most,

00:24:00.320 that wasn't even male versus female.

00:24:02.840 Because I don't think anybody was saying

00:24:04.660 that Amber Heard was the one who was afraid of Johnny Depp.

00:24:10.340 They were probably afraid of each other at some points.

00:24:12.900 But it didn't feel like there was, like, a physicality thing.

00:24:16.300 You know, at one point it was a power-related thing

00:24:18.720 because he hired her and she was younger and he was older.

00:24:21.960 But it wasn't really that by the time it got to this trial.

00:24:27.000 I mean, that was history by then.

00:24:28.500 So somehow we managed to avoid the important lessons here

00:24:33.800 that there are people with these cluster B personality disorders

00:24:39.420 and if you run into one, you're going to get this.

00:24:44.980 The cluster B personality disorder, they're destroyers.

00:24:48.600 They destroy everybody and everything they touch,

00:24:51.080 including themselves.

00:24:51.820 So if you didn't learn that,

00:24:55.960 you learned absolutely the wrong thing.

00:24:58.980 If you learned this was about...

00:25:00.500 I was reading today that this is the pushback

00:25:04.260 to the Me Too movement,

00:25:06.120 to which I say, no, it wasn't at all.

00:25:11.020 It was about these two very specific people

00:25:13.480 who had very specific personality characteristics.

00:25:18.820 One was addicted.

00:25:21.640 The other was allegedly a cluster B personality disorder.

00:25:25.880 That's what the story is.

00:25:28.060 The gender stuff's a misdirection.

00:25:30.660 So I told you my county,

00:25:32.140 alone among over 3,000 counties in the United States,

00:25:35.480 decided to reinstitute indoor mask mandates yesterday.

00:25:42.200 The good news is the locals,

00:25:45.900 a lot of them are just ignoring it.

00:25:48.820 So I'm not sure if the word hasn't gotten around,

00:25:52.000 but there's a lot of ignoring it I've heard.

00:25:55.080 So I'm not directly witnessing it yet,

00:25:58.260 but we'll see.

00:26:02.060 Here is an update on long COVID personal experience.

00:26:06.960 So a week ago, I had my first symptoms.

00:26:11.460 And the first few days were rugged of Omicron, I guess, Omicron.

00:26:17.180 And then I thought by the third day,

00:26:20.140 oh, I'm fine.

00:26:22.140 Fourth day, I actually felt better than normal

00:26:24.240 because it was like a bounce back, I guess.

00:26:27.720 I didn't feel bad anymore, so I felt good.

00:26:29.500 But let me tell you,

00:26:33.180 I don't know if the exhaustion is because of this or something else,

00:26:39.240 but I've never dealt with anything like this.

00:26:42.420 The fatigue part.

00:26:44.760 And here's what I'm going to add to this.

00:26:48.220 Describing that as exhaustion or fatigue are misleading.

00:26:51.700 And I have a suspicion that it's a dopamine shortage.

00:26:57.680 Here's why.

00:26:59.460 I told you in a prior live stream a while ago

00:27:02.200 that I learned that dopamine is associated with two things.

00:27:08.440 One is your mood, how happy you are, how good you feel.

00:27:12.040 Now, that's the part you knew.

00:27:13.580 Lots of dopamine, you feel good.

00:27:15.700 What I didn't know, and I learned more recently,

00:27:17.800 is that dopamine is attached to your movement.

00:27:22.700 And if you don't have the right dopamine levels,

00:27:25.840 your movement is off.

00:27:27.700 So Parkinson's is a shortage of dopamine.

00:27:32.320 So you get the shakes.

00:27:33.800 To fix it, they add some fake dopamine in,

00:27:36.880 L-doper or whatever it is, to compensate that.

00:27:40.680 So there's this connection between your mood and your movement.

00:27:46.000 They're inseparable.

00:27:48.300 Your mood and your ability to move are inseparable.

00:27:52.600 And when you first think about that, you think to yourself,

00:27:55.040 well, that's very inefficient.

00:27:56.560 Like, why are they even connected?

00:27:59.140 And then you think about it.

00:28:01.000 Why do you do anything?

00:28:03.420 Because you think it'll pay off.

00:28:05.920 That's it.

00:28:07.000 That's why you do anything.

00:28:08.760 The reason you stand up.

00:28:10.440 The reason you walk into the next room.

00:28:12.580 The reason you turn on the light when you walk into a dark room.

00:28:15.200 Everything you do is because you think there'll be a payoff.

00:28:20.040 And payoff, the currency of payoff is dopamine.

00:28:24.140 That's like the internal cryptocurrency in your brain.

00:28:27.500 It's like, oh, do this thing.

00:28:28.800 Here's your payoff.

00:28:30.200 Here's your payoff.

00:28:31.420 Here's your payoff.

00:28:32.000 But what happens when the payoff, like the blockchain for your payoffs, disappears for a while?

00:28:39.880 Because let me describe what the fatigue feels like to me.

00:28:44.920 Because I was experiencing it yesterday like a mofo.

00:28:50.240 And what it feels like is like nothing I've ever experienced.

00:28:54.120 You know what it's like to be tired.

00:28:56.100 And you know what it's like to be fatigued.

00:28:58.740 Normally, right?

00:28:59.640 If you're actually just physically exhausted.

00:29:02.760 But let me ask you this.

00:29:04.240 Because even when you're really, really tired, like really tired, you can still get up and do something you want, can't you?

00:29:13.640 Like you wouldn't want to get up and get yourself a cold glass of water.

00:29:19.120 But if you were thirsty, you could be just exhausted and you'd still be alright.

00:29:24.620 Because it'd be a payoff.

00:29:26.460 You'd get a little dopamine hit.

00:29:27.540 What it feels like when you have this COVID, long COVID thing, you feel like your dopamine is gone.

00:29:36.320 I don't know if that's what's happening.

00:29:38.460 But I'll tell you on the inside, it feels like the reason to move left.

00:29:44.440 That's different.

00:29:46.280 That doesn't feel like just being exhausted.

00:29:49.720 My arms and legs would be like just dead weights.

00:29:52.900 But the brain part that says do it anyway was turned off.

00:29:59.520 It was just turned off.

00:30:01.700 I could not connect needing to do something.

00:30:05.080 And my brain would say, alright, you obviously need to do this.

00:30:08.660 You need to eat this food or walk in this next room or feed the dog.

00:30:12.640 You just need to do this.

00:30:14.920 And the need to do it was disconnected from my body.

00:30:19.040 And I think the dopamine feedback connection was just gone.

00:30:25.280 And you know how sometimes you can feel just empty?

00:30:28.740 That emptiness feels to me like the dopamine blockchain just broke.

00:30:36.240 Like I can't get any reward for anything.

00:30:38.200 So, I immediately googled dopamine and COVID.

00:30:45.100 And of course, there are articles suggesting there's some kind of connection.

00:30:50.440 Now, it might be serotonin.

00:30:52.280 I might have my chemistry wrong.

00:30:54.840 But we're talking about happy chemicals versus less happy.

00:30:58.360 And I think the dopamine specifically is the movement one.

00:31:01.120 So, here's what's interesting.

00:31:08.980 I upgraded my cannabis last night.

00:31:12.400 Because I got a bad batch that was really nasty.

00:31:17.040 It was a bad batch that was too strong.

00:31:20.240 It was like just banging yourself with a hammer.

00:31:23.600 So, I got something that would do nothing but boost my dopamine.

00:31:27.940 What happened as soon as I boosted my dopamine?

00:31:34.160 My physical body was willing to move.

00:31:40.800 So, it didn't give me...

00:31:42.740 I didn't feel like it gave me energy.

00:31:45.020 I feel like it connected the blockchain.

00:31:47.260 And now my dopamine rewards were connected to my movement.

00:31:50.400 Even for the smallest stuff.

00:31:52.780 Like it feels good just to stand up.

00:31:55.440 Just walk outside.

00:31:56.220 And...

00:31:58.220 Yeah, I did start drumming, actually.

00:32:02.380 So, somebody says, my Parkinson's was impacted by COVID.

00:32:07.900 Which way?

00:32:09.880 Which way was it impacted?

00:32:12.500 Worsened, right?

00:32:14.280 Because if you had Parkinson's and then you got COVID,

00:32:18.100 you'd be, you know, doubly hit on your dopamine, maybe?

00:32:22.640 I don't know.

00:32:23.820 All right, enough about me.

00:32:25.000 What would you get if Oprah and Donald Trump had a baby? 1.00

00:32:33.160 Here's a quiz.

00:32:34.380 If Oprah and Trump had a baby...

00:32:39.460 Somebody says Candace Owens. 1.00

00:32:42.100 All right, that's funny.

00:32:43.920 That's not where I was going.

00:32:46.340 Alice Sharpton, somebody said...

00:32:48.000 No, Dr. Oz.

00:32:51.620 Dr. Oz.

00:32:54.400 All right, if you follow politics, that's funnier.

00:32:57.780 Yeah, because Oprah was sort of kicked off Dr. Oz's career on TV,

00:33:01.880 and Trump probably is the reason that Dr. Oz won his primary.

00:33:06.380 So, Dr. Oz is the weirdest duck of all ducks,

00:33:13.060 as he's the love child of Oprah and Trump in a weird way.

00:33:16.900 Well, they say, the experts say, summer travel will be a nightmare.

00:33:22.120 I have to admit that when I thought about traveling this summer,

00:33:26.140 I thought to myself, I think that would be a nightmare.

00:33:30.040 I don't know how I'd be willing to do it.

00:33:32.480 It seems like just getting somewhere would be nearly impossible.

00:33:35.580 And who knows if there's going to be more mask mandates everywhere.

00:33:39.000 Who knows?

00:33:40.900 But has anybody canceled travel either because of gas?

00:33:46.480 Yeah, gas prices.

00:33:48.220 How many of you have canceled travel for the summer?

00:33:52.540 Or cut back?

00:33:55.600 Oh, wow, I'm seeing a lot of yeses.

00:34:01.640 All right, a lot of noes, too.

00:34:04.800 Wow.

00:34:05.320 Well, if those numbers are true,

00:34:09.580 maybe we won't have the problem we think.

00:34:12.520 Because there's a self-correcting thing going on here.

00:34:17.900 I remember when the Pope was visiting San Francisco a million years ago,

00:34:24.380 and the advice was, do not drive a car into San Francisco that day.

00:34:28.880 Because the Pope will be here.

00:34:30.620 It will be a mass, just crazy time.

00:34:33.560 Whatever you do, do not get in a car and come to San Francisco on that day.

00:34:39.280 Turns out, I had to get in a car and go to San Francisco that day.

00:34:44.000 I was the only one on the road.

00:34:46.920 It was the easiest travel I've ever had to San Francisco.

00:34:51.280 Because everybody thought it was serious.

00:34:53.720 So everybody left their car home.

00:34:55.560 The streets were empty.

00:34:56.920 It was like the easiest I've ever driven in the city.

00:34:59.140 Maybe enough people will cancel their travel

00:35:03.740 because of the high gas prices and everything else

00:35:06.400 that it won't be that hard.

00:35:10.220 But I don't know.

00:35:11.520 Could go either way.

00:35:12.720 It's dicey.

00:35:18.140 Chris Hayes from MSNBC

00:35:20.920 had this tweet

00:35:22.860 talking about the right to shoot an intruder in your home.

00:35:26.540 And he says,

00:35:29.160 just play out what that means.

00:35:30.660 So it was part of a larger thread.

00:35:32.260 So if it feels like it's in a context,

00:35:35.060 I would invite you to see his larger thread.

00:35:39.180 He says,

00:35:39.940 just play out what that means.

00:35:42.100 So he's talking about

00:35:43.380 the Second Amendment being used

00:35:45.560 to protect people from the government.

00:35:48.460 So one of the arguments

00:35:49.380 for the Second Amendment

00:35:50.360 is it protects the citizens

00:35:51.860 from their own government.

00:35:53.000 So in that context,

00:35:54.780 Chris Hayes says,

00:35:56.660 just play out what that means.

00:35:58.360 You have the right to shoot an intruder

00:36:00.000 to your home

00:36:00.760 and you have the right to

00:36:02.660 dot, dot, dot,

00:36:03.840 put a bullet in the head 0.79

00:36:05.360 of someone from the government

00:36:06.580 who is doing things

00:36:08.100 that are, quote,

00:36:09.220 overly intrusive.

00:36:10.820 So he's saying that

00:36:12.300 if it's okay to shoot somebody

00:36:14.180 who's being overly intrusive

00:36:15.620 in your home,

00:36:16.880 would that apply to the government?

00:36:19.500 To which I said,

00:36:23.560 I replied,

00:36:24.280 the implied threat of violence

00:36:25.560 both ways

00:36:26.260 is the operating system

00:36:27.420 that keeps America free.

00:36:29.960 There is an implied threat of violence

00:36:32.700 not only from the government

00:36:34.400 to its citizens,

00:36:35.520 but from the citizens

00:36:36.360 to its government.

00:36:37.600 And if you took away

00:36:38.520 either of those,

00:36:39.600 the system would fall apart.

00:36:42.100 So Chris Hayes,

00:36:43.400 yes, yes,

00:36:44.640 you do want your government

00:36:45.900 to think

00:36:46.580 that there's some line,

00:36:48.520 I don't know what that line is,

00:36:50.220 but you do want your government

00:36:51.480 to think there's a line.

00:36:53.360 If you cross this line,

00:36:56.360 all bets are off.

00:36:59.100 And if you don't think

00:37:00.660 that keeps the whole country together,

00:37:03.060 you're overlooking

00:37:05.100 the value of violence.

00:37:06.980 Whereas,

00:37:07.800 I think Jordan Peterson

00:37:08.660 says it better,

00:37:10.040 you know,

00:37:10.240 the implied threat of violence,

00:37:12.420 implied threat of male violence

00:37:13.840 is usually the context

00:37:15.120 he's talking about.

00:37:15.900 So, yeah,

00:37:19.420 that's not a situation

00:37:21.740 I would run away from

00:37:22.660 in an imperfect world.

00:37:26.160 We'll talk about Navarro.

00:37:29.700 Bill Maher,

00:37:30.860 on his show,

00:37:32.300 I guess last night,

00:37:34.100 he was worried about

00:37:35.060 the Republicans

00:37:36.720 stealing the pot legalization issue.

00:37:40.220 He was talking to

00:37:41.520 Eric Holder, I guess.

00:37:43.580 And what do you think of that?

00:37:46.540 Are you worried?

00:37:47.580 Not worried,

00:37:48.260 but do you think

00:37:48.780 the Republicans

00:37:50.060 will try to steal

00:37:51.220 the pot legalization issue?

00:37:53.700 Because I guess

00:37:54.280 when the Democrats

00:37:55.800 passed it in the House,

00:37:57.540 they put a bunch

00:37:58.440 of equity things in there,

00:38:00.000 you know,

00:38:00.200 like advantages

00:38:01.000 for African American

00:38:02.260 sellers, I guess.

00:38:05.560 Growers or sellers.

00:38:07.240 And the Republicans

00:38:08.620 said no to that

00:38:09.520 because it was too much

00:38:10.480 about the equity,

00:38:11.160 according to Bill Maher's

00:38:12.780 characterization of it.

00:38:14.720 So, what do you think?

00:38:16.380 Do you think

00:38:16.780 that the Republicans

00:38:17.620 would take the free money

00:38:20.100 that's sitting on the table

00:38:21.100 and just pick it up

00:38:22.580 and say,

00:38:23.040 oh, I'll take this free money.

00:38:24.580 We'll decriminalize this.

00:38:27.380 Nope.

00:38:28.380 No.

00:38:29.020 No, I don't think

00:38:29.980 that the Republicans

00:38:30.720 have that capability.

00:38:34.120 So,

00:38:34.980 sorry.

00:38:36.660 it would be smart

00:38:39.320 to do

00:38:39.740 and it would work

00:38:41.340 but no,

00:38:43.240 the Republicans

00:38:43.660 are not competent

00:38:45.200 enough to do that.

00:38:47.720 I hate to say it

00:38:48.920 but they're not.

00:38:51.480 Am I wrong?

00:38:53.880 And it's not really

00:38:55.080 about what they believe

00:38:57.180 or what they think

00:38:58.000 is right

00:38:58.440 or who's going

00:38:59.280 to be injured by it.

00:39:00.100 It's nothing to do with that.

00:39:01.840 I think the Republicans

00:39:02.800 simply don't have

00:39:03.800 the competence

00:39:04.520 to do it.

00:39:05.260 Now,

00:39:07.240 I think that

00:39:08.000 Republicans have

00:39:08.880 better opinions

00:39:09.680 on some topics

00:39:11.040 so this isn't

00:39:12.240 anti-Republican

00:39:13.320 rhetoric here

00:39:14.080 but on this one topic

00:39:15.800 they're not competent.

00:39:17.980 They're just not capable

00:39:18.780 because this literally

00:39:19.880 is just a pile

00:39:20.620 of free money

00:39:21.180 sitting on a table.

00:39:23.020 If you can't

00:39:24.000 lean over

00:39:24.560 and scoop

00:39:25.620 a gigantic pile

00:39:27.300 of free money

00:39:28.060 into your bag

00:39:29.040 and it's like

00:39:30.180 there's a sign

00:39:30.800 on it that says

00:39:31.240 here's some free money

00:39:32.220 free money

00:39:33.180 it's just this big

00:39:34.260 pile of money.

00:39:36.040 There's no downside.

00:39:37.440 Just scoop it

00:39:38.640 into your bag.

00:39:40.200 Just scoop it in.

00:39:41.760 That's all you have

00:39:42.380 to do.

00:39:43.380 And the Republicans

00:39:44.060 are not capable

00:39:45.040 of doing that.

00:39:47.500 Unfortunately.

00:39:49.080 I don't think

00:39:49.640 it matters.

00:39:54.080 Let me bang

00:39:55.160 one more Republican

00:39:56.100 here and lose

00:39:57.220 half of my audience.

00:39:59.840 Let's see if you

00:40:00.380 can hang in here

00:40:01.060 with me on this.

00:40:01.780 Let me compliment

00:40:04.140 you first.

00:40:05.460 Many of you.

00:40:07.640 You've heard

00:40:08.220 this before,

00:40:08.900 right?

00:40:09.100 A number of people

00:40:09.860 who are not

00:40:10.820 naturally Republicans

00:40:12.100 got support

00:40:14.860 from Republicans.

00:40:16.820 You know,

00:40:17.120 Joe Rogan,

00:40:18.000 for example.

00:40:20.000 Elon Musk.

00:40:21.220 You know,

00:40:21.380 people you don't

00:40:22.280 think of as

00:40:23.060 maybe naturally

00:40:23.840 Republican in any way.

00:40:25.560 But they got

00:40:26.300 so much support

00:40:27.060 from Republicans

00:40:27.840 because Republicans

00:40:30.500 support free speech,

00:40:32.440 you know,

00:40:32.720 among other things.

00:40:34.700 Free enterprise, too.

00:40:36.800 So,

00:40:37.400 that's what draws me

00:40:39.120 to this audience

00:40:39.900 as well.

00:40:41.620 Is that

00:40:42.460 I've sort of,

00:40:44.800 you know,

00:40:45.300 developed an audience

00:40:46.340 of people

00:40:46.780 who are forgiving

00:40:47.820 things I would like

00:40:50.360 to be forgiven for.

00:40:52.400 Which is having

00:40:53.260 a different opinion

00:40:53.940 than you.

00:40:54.320 so it's one

00:40:56.760 of the few places

00:40:57.440 that I actually

00:40:58.660 feel like I can

00:40:59.420 disagree with people

00:41:00.400 that's okay.

00:41:02.220 It's with Republicans.

00:41:03.460 Conservatives.

00:41:04.120 Let's say conservatives.

00:41:05.680 Yeah,

00:41:05.880 I like that framing better.

00:41:06.940 We'll say conservatives.

00:41:08.320 Conservatives are

00:41:09.060 much more likely

00:41:10.060 to be okay

00:41:11.600 with the difference

00:41:12.300 of opinion

00:41:12.880 if,

00:41:14.140 but there's a big if.

00:41:15.460 What's the big if?

00:41:17.620 What's the one thing

00:41:18.600 you have to do,

00:41:20.200 maybe two,

00:41:21.500 in order for a conservative

00:41:22.780 to say,

00:41:23.820 all right,

00:41:24.320 I'm not going

00:41:25.140 to hate you

00:41:25.520 for that opinion.

00:41:27.480 Mutual respect.

00:41:29.320 Exactly.

00:41:30.380 Mutual respect.

00:41:32.060 That's number one.

00:41:33.940 Right?

00:41:34.440 But the other thing

00:41:35.320 is that,

00:41:36.060 show your work.

00:41:38.020 How about that?

00:41:39.320 How about just

00:41:39.700 show your work?

00:41:41.500 You know,

00:41:41.800 I show my assumptions

00:41:42.800 and they might be

00:41:44.180 different than yours.

00:41:45.360 For example,

00:41:46.800 if you've got an opinion

00:41:47.760 that starts with,

00:41:49.420 you know,

00:41:49.700 the Bible tells me

00:41:51.240 to do X,

00:41:52.060 I don't have

00:41:53.880 that same belief.

00:41:55.960 So we might get

00:41:57.040 to a different point.

00:41:58.920 But I have

00:41:59.560 complete respect

00:42:00.340 for anybody

00:42:00.840 who lives a,

00:42:02.040 let's say,

00:42:02.800 a religion-informed

00:42:04.460 lifestyle.

00:42:07.340 Because it works.

00:42:09.060 You don't need

00:42:09.800 a better argument

00:42:10.480 than that.

00:42:11.800 Somebody chooses

00:42:12.600 a lifestyle

00:42:13.160 that clearly,

00:42:14.220 statistically works,

00:42:15.560 I'm not going

00:42:16.980 to mock that.

00:42:17.680 I'm going to say,

00:42:18.220 good work.

00:42:19.540 You know,

00:42:19.740 you did a good job

00:42:20.480 of picking something

00:42:21.180 that works for you.

00:42:22.160 If it worked for me,

00:42:23.100 I'd pick it too.

00:42:24.600 Because it works.

00:42:25.740 It just doesn't

00:42:26.520 work for me.

00:42:28.280 So,

00:42:29.540 with that in mind,

00:42:31.520 and with your indulgence,

00:42:34.460 there's a report

00:42:36.060 that Ron DeSantis

00:42:36.980 blocked state funding

00:42:38.400 for the Tampa Bay

00:42:39.740 Rays training facility

00:42:41.220 because they had tweeted

00:42:42.960 something he didn't like

00:42:43.920 about gun control.

00:42:47.180 Now,

00:42:47.740 his public reason

00:42:49.200 was that he

00:42:50.720 doesn't want the state

00:42:51.820 to fund sports teams

00:42:53.400 training facilities.

00:42:55.840 Which I think

00:42:56.660 is actually

00:42:57.060 a pretty strong reason.

00:42:58.940 And if that's

00:42:59.460 the only reason,

00:43:00.660 oh, that's fine.

00:43:02.500 I'm not even sure

00:43:03.320 I'd agree

00:43:03.980 or disagree with it,

00:43:04.880 but if his reason

00:43:06.420 is the government

00:43:07.160 should not be

00:43:07.760 in that business,

00:43:09.440 whenever

00:43:09.800 conservatives say that,

00:43:12.440 it doesn't even matter

00:43:13.140 what the topic is.

00:43:14.760 When a conservative

00:43:15.500 says the government

00:43:16.240 shouldn't be

00:43:16.720 in that business,

00:43:17.740 I automatically

00:43:18.840 respect that opinion.

00:43:21.400 Just automatically.

00:43:23.020 Doesn't mean

00:43:23.660 I'm going to agree

00:43:24.320 with it,

00:43:24.920 because there might

00:43:25.520 be an exception.

00:43:26.540 I'm more likely

00:43:27.400 to tolerate

00:43:29.220 an exception

00:43:29.920 than some of you are.

00:43:32.180 But I even

00:43:33.080 understand why

00:43:33.960 you wouldn't

00:43:34.300 tolerate them.

00:43:36.140 Even that's

00:43:36.820 a good argument.

00:43:38.820 So,

00:43:39.080 here's my

00:43:41.200 problem with

00:43:42.020 DeSantis.

00:43:44.080 I like the

00:43:45.060 conservatives

00:43:45.500 who are in

00:43:46.300 favor of

00:43:47.020 free speech.

00:43:49.040 I like the

00:43:50.020 conservatives

00:43:50.500 who are in

00:43:51.080 favor of

00:43:51.640 free speech,

00:43:52.180 because that's

00:43:52.600 also the

00:43:53.060 umbrella with

00:43:53.900 which you

00:43:55.520 accept me.

00:43:58.440 And

00:43:59.000 while I get

00:44:00.960 the argument,

00:44:02.040 and I respect

00:44:02.640 it,

00:44:03.860 I get the

00:44:04.460 argument that

00:44:05.660 if conservatives

00:44:06.400 push back

00:44:07.240 against the

00:44:08.280 corporate

00:44:08.600 entities,

00:44:09.380 it'll take

00:44:09.740 the corporations

00:44:10.420 out of the

00:44:11.000 conversation,

00:44:12.120 and maybe

00:44:12.640 you want

00:44:13.000 that.

00:44:13.760 Maybe you

00:44:14.160 don't want

00:44:14.560 corporations

00:44:15.220 to be

00:44:16.780 influencing

00:44:17.240 these things.

00:44:18.140 Maybe it

00:44:18.400 should just

00:44:18.720 be people

00:44:19.220 in their

00:44:19.540 government

00:44:19.860 and not

00:44:20.300 the

00:44:20.460 corporations.

00:44:21.740 Maybe.

00:44:22.180 I mean,

00:44:23.180 I disagree

00:44:23.700 with that,

00:44:25.080 because I

00:44:25.580 think corporations

00:44:26.180 are just

00:44:26.620 another example

00:44:27.480 of free

00:44:27.860 speech.

00:44:28.540 But I

00:44:29.060 would respect

00:44:29.640 the opinion

00:44:31.080 that you've

00:44:31.420 got to fight

00:44:31.760 back and

00:44:32.400 maintain your

00:44:33.300 rights and

00:44:33.720 stuff.

00:44:34.020 I get it.

00:44:35.400 But I'm

00:44:36.240 going to go

00:44:36.720 that I don't

00:44:38.920 know how I

00:44:39.340 could support

00:44:39.860 somebody running

00:44:41.120 for president

00:44:41.720 who did

00:44:43.200 something that's

00:44:43.840 anti-free

00:44:44.420 speech.

00:44:44.880 that's

00:44:46.700 sort of

00:44:47.960 disqualifying.

00:44:50.080 Can you

00:44:50.460 imagine Trump

00:44:51.300 doing something

00:44:52.320 that was

00:44:52.620 anti-free

00:44:53.240 speech?

00:44:54.820 You can

00:44:55.720 definitely

00:44:56.080 imagine Trump

00:44:57.140 punishing

00:44:57.600 people for

00:44:58.440 not supporting

00:44:59.380 him.

00:45:01.260 He's got a

00:45:02.200 history of

00:45:02.540 that.

00:45:03.660 But would

00:45:04.280 he punish

00:45:05.160 somebody just

00:45:05.820 for anti-free

00:45:08.000 speech?

00:45:09.680 Or for

00:45:10.580 expressing their

00:45:11.600 opinion that

00:45:12.360 way?

00:45:12.920 Would he?

00:45:13.960 I don't

00:45:14.220 know.

00:45:14.880 I wouldn't

00:45:15.760 like it if

00:45:16.280 he did.

00:45:17.840 But I feel

00:45:18.700 like he

00:45:19.020 wouldn't.

00:45:20.380 I feel like

00:45:21.120 this is a

00:45:22.020 rare DeSantis

00:45:22.860 error.

00:45:24.960 And the

00:45:25.740 reason I

00:45:26.040 talk about

00:45:26.440 DeSantis so

00:45:27.080 much is

00:45:27.500 because he

00:45:27.980 is so

00:45:28.340 error-free

00:45:29.020 and is

00:45:29.540 pitch-perfect,

00:45:31.740 at least

00:45:32.260 satisfying his

00:45:33.280 base,

00:45:34.260 pitch-perfect.

00:45:36.020 And maybe

00:45:36.580 this does.

00:45:37.260 Let me ask

00:45:37.680 you, so I'll

00:45:38.420 put it to

00:45:38.780 you.

00:45:40.840 Do you

00:45:41.500 agree with

00:45:42.040 DeSantis

00:45:42.480 pushing back

00:45:43.600 on the

00:45:45.160 Tampa Bay

00:45:45.640 Rays?

00:45:46.600 Do you

00:45:46.880 agree with

00:45:47.320 DeSantis?

00:45:48.600 Yes or

00:45:48.900 no?

00:45:49.620 Do you

00:45:50.000 agree with

00:45:50.480 DeSantis?

00:45:52.660 Looking at

00:45:53.280 your comments,

00:45:54.640 I see lots of

00:45:55.480 agreements, but I

00:45:56.560 see some

00:45:57.020 disagreements.

00:46:01.340 Somebody said

00:46:02.060 if he's not

00:46:02.640 honest about

00:46:03.340 it.

00:46:03.680 Yeah, okay.

00:46:04.980 Okay.

00:46:05.760 So let me

00:46:06.360 throw that in

00:46:07.220 the mix.

00:46:08.980 Suppose you

00:46:09.760 knew he was

00:46:10.400 lying about

00:46:11.100 his reason.

00:46:11.580 Would you

00:46:13.240 be okay

00:46:13.660 with it

00:46:13.960 then?

00:46:15.500 If you

00:46:16.100 knew he

00:46:16.600 was lying,

00:46:17.160 we don't

00:46:17.460 know that,

00:46:17.900 by the way.

00:46:18.540 That's just

00:46:18.960 somebody's

00:46:19.340 allegation.

00:46:19.920 We don't

00:46:20.240 know that.

00:46:21.500 And by

00:46:22.100 the way,

00:46:22.420 if his

00:46:22.840 public

00:46:23.200 reason is

00:46:24.420 actually

00:46:24.800 real,

00:46:26.100 I'm fine

00:46:26.600 with that.

00:46:27.620 If the

00:46:28.240 public

00:46:28.500 reason,

00:46:29.520 he just

00:46:29.880 doesn't

00:46:30.140 want to

00:46:30.380 waste

00:46:30.540 money on

00:46:31.060 sports

00:46:31.520 teams,

00:46:32.560 sure.

00:46:34.020 I'm

00:46:34.240 okay.

00:46:35.800 I just

00:46:36.480 got my

00:46:36.760 questions

00:46:37.160 there.

00:46:39.120 Rasmussen

00:46:39.560 Reports did

00:46:40.400 a poll on

00:46:41.100 people who

00:46:41.720 watched

00:46:42.160 2,000

00:46:42.800 Mules,

00:46:44.120 the

00:46:44.340 documentary

00:46:46.160 that alleges

00:46:47.200 to show

00:46:47.740 these people

00:46:49.040 stuffing ballot

00:46:50.220 boxes.

00:46:51.760 And of

00:46:52.940 those who

00:46:53.360 have seen

00:46:53.740 it,

00:46:55.760 the question

00:46:56.620 was,

00:46:57.020 did the film

00:46:57.380 strengthen or

00:46:58.000 weaken your

00:46:58.460 conviction that

00:46:59.280 there was

00:46:59.600 systemic and

00:47:00.420 widespread election

00:47:01.280 fraud in the

00:47:02.000 2020 election?

00:47:03.780 So 68% of

00:47:05.360 Democrats who

00:47:06.840 watched it

00:47:07.460 were strengthened

00:47:08.620 in their

00:47:09.060 belief that

00:47:09.540 there was

00:47:09.920 fraud in

00:47:10.760 that election.

00:47:12.800 And of

00:47:13.240 course,

00:47:13.560 GOP,

00:47:14.140 85%,

00:47:14.920 blah,

00:47:15.200 blah.

00:47:15.660 So even

00:47:16.520 independents,

00:47:17.160 77%.

00:47:18.040 And somebody

00:47:18.860 asked,

00:47:19.260 who are

00:47:19.500 these Democrats

00:47:20.060 who would

00:47:21.060 watch that

00:47:21.480 movie?

00:47:22.780 How many

00:47:23.420 Democrats at

00:47:24.720 all would

00:47:25.180 watch that

00:47:25.600 movie?

00:47:26.800 How did

00:47:27.340 you even

00:47:27.680 poll this?

00:47:30.480 I'm not

00:47:31.060 even sure if

00:47:31.520 they really

00:47:31.840 watched the

00:47:32.280 movie.

00:47:32.960 Maybe they

00:47:33.280 just said

00:47:33.620 they did.

00:47:34.840 Anyway,

00:47:36.820 the way I

00:47:37.780 read this

00:47:38.160 poll is,

00:47:38.760 if you're

00:47:39.460 a Democrat

00:47:39.900 and you

00:47:40.400 watched that

00:47:40.860 movie at

00:47:41.300 all, you

00:47:42.160 are already

00:47:42.680 open to

00:47:43.200 being persuaded.

00:47:44.960 Am I

00:47:45.280 right?

00:47:46.400 If you

00:47:47.100 were a

00:47:48.300 Democrat who

00:47:49.320 would watch

00:47:49.800 an entire

00:47:50.300 documentary

00:47:50.960 against your

00:47:51.900 own team,

00:47:53.420 you are

00:47:54.140 already open

00:47:54.760 to being

00:47:55.080 persuaded.

00:47:55.960 So it

00:47:56.440 doesn't really

00:47:56.820 tell you

00:47:57.120 anything that

00:47:57.700 it's

00:47:58.300 persuasive.

00:47:59.180 The way

00:47:59.520 you should

00:47:59.780 read this

00:48:00.160 is,

00:48:00.920 documentaries

00:48:01.440 are

00:48:01.840 persuasive.

00:48:03.380 That's all.

00:48:04.560 And I've

00:48:04.920 told you that

00:48:05.300 before.

00:48:05.620 The reason

00:48:06.740 you shouldn't

00:48:07.260 believe a

00:48:07.780 documentary is

00:48:08.580 because it's

00:48:09.180 designed to

00:48:09.900 be believed.

00:48:11.400 It's not

00:48:12.140 designed to

00:48:12.640 be right.

00:48:14.660 Big

00:48:15.240 difference.

00:48:16.720 A

00:48:16.920 documentary is

00:48:17.760 designed to

00:48:18.400 be believed,

00:48:19.660 not designed

00:48:20.620 to be

00:48:20.940 accurate.

00:48:24.520 All

00:48:24.720 right.

00:48:26.280 Peter

00:48:26.880 Navarro was

00:48:27.740 arrested on

00:48:28.820 getting on a

00:48:29.840 flight yesterday,

00:48:31.080 I guess.

00:48:31.360 he was

00:48:32.840 handcuffed,

00:48:34.000 he was

00:48:34.280 put in

00:48:34.700 leg shackles

00:48:36.140 and taken

00:48:37.860 in for,

00:48:38.980 I guess his

00:48:39.480 crime is

00:48:41.060 contempt of

00:48:43.920 Congress for

00:48:44.600 not agreeing

00:48:45.640 to go

00:48:46.520 cooperate with

00:48:47.580 their January

00:48:48.040 6th committee.

00:48:49.380 Now he has

00:48:50.060 his reasons

00:48:50.620 why he's not

00:48:51.860 cooperating,

00:48:53.100 and he doesn't

00:48:53.720 think that the

00:48:54.520 committee is

00:48:55.620 legitimately

00:48:56.760 formed and

00:48:57.940 staffed and

00:48:58.900 therefore has no

00:48:59.720 authority over

00:49:00.540 him.

00:49:01.360 And he

00:49:03.280 apparently

00:49:04.140 knows personally

00:49:05.840 some of the

00:49:07.000 FBI people,

00:49:08.360 and he's

00:49:08.740 basically said,

00:49:09.660 hey, if you

00:49:09.980 want me to

00:49:10.360 come in,

00:49:10.740 just let me

00:49:11.180 know.

00:49:11.800 And they

00:49:12.080 still dragged

00:49:13.060 him off an

00:49:13.560 airplane in

00:49:14.100 public,

00:49:15.020 in chains.

00:49:17.300 Now, do you

00:49:18.020 think they did

00:49:18.480 that to

00:49:18.860 Sussman? 0.99

00:49:20.540 Did Sussman

00:49:21.260 have shackles?

00:49:22.440 Did he get

00:49:23.280 arrested in

00:49:23.820 public?

00:49:24.060 public?

00:49:26.340 And so I

00:49:30.380 saw Peter

00:49:30.880 Navarro

00:49:31.340 talking about

00:49:32.160 it after he

00:49:33.120 got released

00:49:33.780 probably on

00:49:34.240 bail, I

00:49:34.600 guess, and

00:49:36.120 did you see

00:49:43.460 this?

00:49:46.080 Can you

00:49:46.680 tell me,

00:49:47.480 can you

00:49:49.340 tell me how

00:49:50.420 this made you

00:49:51.120 feel?

00:49:53.440 Because I

00:49:54.220 felt something,

00:49:56.980 and I didn't

00:49:57.640 like it at

00:49:58.160 all.

00:49:58.420 when it

00:50:01.340 happened to

00:50:01.820 Roger Stone,

00:50:03.480 I said to

00:50:04.680 myself, well,

00:50:05.460 this is a

00:50:05.900 travesty, but

00:50:07.380 it might also

00:50:08.060 be a one-off.

00:50:10.220 It's not

00:50:10.900 one-off.

00:50:12.860 Apparently,

00:50:13.500 there's just a

00:50:14.240 different standard

00:50:15.000 for how the

00:50:15.800 Trump supporters

00:50:16.520 are being

00:50:16.920 treated.

00:50:18.120 This is so

00:50:18.740 clear now.

00:50:20.380 And, I

00:50:21.260 mean, I guess

00:50:21.720 you'll say it

00:50:22.220 was always

00:50:22.540 clear, but

00:50:23.460 I mean, this

00:50:24.360 is just

00:50:24.660 shocking.

00:50:26.160 Now, Peter

00:50:26.700 Navarro also

00:50:27.320 has a new

00:50:27.720 book out,

00:50:28.420 called

00:50:29.120 Taking Back

00:50:30.080 Trump's

00:50:30.560 America, which

00:50:31.260 as of this

00:50:31.960 morning was

00:50:32.440 number four

00:50:33.060 on Amazon.

00:50:34.880 And I've

00:50:35.320 been pumping

00:50:36.460 it up, telling

00:50:37.520 people to buy

00:50:38.160 his book,

00:50:38.720 because it's

00:50:39.040 how he's

00:50:39.320 going to pay

00:50:39.640 for his

00:50:39.940 defense.

00:50:41.380 I don't

00:50:42.240 know if he

00:50:42.560 can even

00:50:42.960 make enough

00:50:43.440 money from

00:50:43.860 the book,

00:50:44.300 even if it's

00:50:44.860 the number

00:50:45.140 one bestseller,

00:50:46.460 to pay for

00:50:47.000 the defense,

00:50:47.720 because the

00:50:48.060 defense is

00:50:48.480 pretty expensive.

00:50:50.040 But I

00:50:50.720 thought, I

00:50:52.240 don't like

00:50:52.800 where this

00:50:54.040 went.

00:50:54.440 I don't like

00:50:54.920 what my

00:50:55.320 government did.

00:50:57.080 And I

00:50:57.660 would like

00:50:57.980 to push

00:50:58.480 a little

00:50:58.760 power back

00:50:59.540 in his

00:50:59.900 direction.

00:51:01.300 So as

00:51:01.940 one small

00:51:03.700 thing that I

00:51:04.240 could do,

00:51:04.640 I've been

00:51:04.980 tweeting

00:51:05.480 support of

00:51:06.880 his book,

00:51:07.700 and I

00:51:08.100 bought it

00:51:08.420 myself, of

00:51:09.020 course.

00:51:09.560 So I

00:51:09.940 preordered it,

00:51:10.760 and I would

00:51:11.200 recommend that

00:51:12.240 you do the

00:51:12.600 same.

00:51:13.200 If it gets

00:51:13.780 to number

00:51:14.180 one, then

00:51:15.980 his defense

00:51:17.320 will be

00:51:17.800 bolstered,

00:51:18.400 both financially

00:51:19.400 and in the

00:51:21.040 public.

00:51:22.160 And I

00:51:22.600 think that

00:51:23.000 that's the

00:51:23.340 appropriate way

00:51:23.880 to handle

00:51:24.160 this.

00:51:25.080 Now, by

00:51:25.380 the way,

00:51:25.660 Mark Meadows

00:51:26.140 and Dan

00:51:26.600 Scavino, who

00:51:27.340 were in

00:51:27.660 similar

00:51:28.060 situations,

00:51:29.080 are not

00:51:29.660 going to be

00:51:30.180 charged.

00:51:31.520 And the

00:51:32.060 reason given

00:51:32.740 is that they

00:51:33.360 cooperated a

00:51:34.540 little bit.

00:51:35.380 So they're

00:51:35.780 not going to

00:51:36.220 agree to

00:51:36.640 testify.

00:51:37.920 But in the

00:51:38.340 case of Mark

00:51:38.820 Meadows, he

00:51:39.520 gave some

00:51:40.220 documents, and

00:51:41.560 Dan Scavino

00:51:42.380 has at least

00:51:42.860 talked to them

00:51:43.500 a few times,

00:51:44.260 or whatever.

00:51:45.620 So I

00:51:47.820 think it was

00:51:48.220 the fact that

00:51:49.020 Navarro was

00:51:49.520 being an

00:51:50.760 absolutist

00:51:51.540 about this

00:51:52.460 that got

00:51:53.240 him in

00:51:53.480 trouble.

00:51:54.980 But I

00:51:57.300 feel as

00:51:57.800 though there

00:51:58.980 were lots

00:51:59.420 of reasons

00:51:59.880 to not

00:52:00.660 support Trump

00:52:01.720 in a

00:52:02.240 re-election,

00:52:03.240 because he's

00:52:03.960 divisive.

00:52:05.440 Am I right?

00:52:06.700 He's

00:52:07.220 divisive.

00:52:08.840 The first

00:52:09.620 time I

00:52:09.980 supported

00:52:10.300 Trump, I

00:52:12.080 don't know

00:52:12.360 how often I've

00:52:12.980 said this

00:52:13.360 directly in

00:52:14.120 public, but

00:52:15.400 let me tell

00:52:15.760 you my real

00:52:16.300 reason I

00:52:16.720 supported

00:52:17.100 Trump for

00:52:17.740 the first

00:52:18.100 time.

00:52:19.660 I

00:52:19.880 wanted to

00:52:20.360 him to

00:52:21.420 break

00:52:21.780 everything,

00:52:23.140 because

00:52:23.780 everything

00:52:24.160 needed to

00:52:24.640 be broken.

00:52:25.840 I wanted

00:52:26.680 demolition,

00:52:28.440 and in a

00:52:30.100 large way, I

00:52:30.900 got what I

00:52:31.440 wanted.

00:52:32.880 He did

00:52:33.560 demolish

00:52:34.120 everything,

00:52:35.480 and not

00:52:37.080 without its

00:52:37.680 cost, right?

00:52:39.340 It's not free

00:52:40.120 to demolish

00:52:40.800 stuff, but I

00:52:42.120 wanted things

00:52:42.760 just broken,

00:52:44.820 because there

00:52:45.200 would be at

00:52:45.640 least a chance

00:52:46.320 we could build

00:52:46.900 them back

00:52:47.500 better, but

00:52:50.860 there wasn't

00:52:51.280 any chance

00:52:51.820 they could

00:52:52.140 keep working

00:52:52.680 the way

00:52:52.960 they were

00:52:53.180 working, so

00:52:54.620 we needed

00:52:55.080 somebody strong

00:52:55.800 enough to

00:52:56.140 just break

00:52:56.620 the system,

00:52:57.300 and I

00:52:58.320 think he

00:52:58.700 did that

00:52:59.100 in a number

00:52:59.560 of ways.

00:53:01.520 He definitely

00:53:02.560 broke the

00:53:03.040 system, Trump

00:53:03.620 did, in the

00:53:04.660 sense that

00:53:05.280 there are

00:53:06.260 things that

00:53:06.680 we think

00:53:07.140 about differently

00:53:07.900 permanently

00:53:08.480 now.

00:53:09.620 That part's

00:53:10.200 completely

00:53:10.560 different.

00:53:12.860 Certainly we

00:53:13.500 want to

00:53:13.820 understand fake

00:53:14.560 news, and

00:53:15.240 we just

00:53:16.080 understand a

00:53:16.640 lot more

00:53:17.040 than we

00:53:17.360 did, but

00:53:19.140 this Peter

00:53:19.600 Navarro

00:53:20.020 thing is

00:53:21.960 almost like

00:53:22.780 a back

00:53:23.300 call for

00:53:23.800 Trump.

00:53:26.300 I suppose

00:53:27.220 I'd want to

00:53:27.880 hear what

00:53:28.220 DeSantis

00:53:28.600 said about

00:53:29.180 the situation

00:53:29.980 if he has

00:53:30.460 anything to

00:53:30.900 say about

00:53:31.240 it, but

00:53:32.180 if Peter

00:53:33.000 Navarro

00:53:33.460 ends up

00:53:34.280 serving jail

00:53:35.360 time or

00:53:35.840 something for

00:53:37.200 this, what

00:53:39.580 appears to be

00:53:40.280 hunting

00:53:40.740 Republicans,

00:53:42.460 the whole

00:53:42.840 January 6th

00:53:43.700 witch hunt

00:53:44.100 sort of

00:53:44.680 thing, which

00:53:45.540 is not to

00:53:46.160 say that

00:53:46.780 there weren't

00:53:47.160 bad people

00:53:47.780 who need

00:53:48.200 to be

00:53:48.720 brought to

00:53:49.280 justice.

00:53:50.400 Everybody

00:53:50.700 understands

00:53:51.380 there were

00:53:51.800 some bad

00:53:52.240 people there

00:53:52.860 who did

00:53:53.220 illegal,

00:53:54.200 dangerous

00:53:54.460 things, so

00:53:55.640 we're not

00:53:55.900 talking about

00:53:56.360 them.

00:53:56.920 We're talking

00:53:57.560 about the

00:53:57.940 people who

00:53:58.560 were just

00:53:59.700 protesting.

00:54:01.720 And I

00:54:03.360 don't know,

00:54:03.720 this Peter

00:54:04.100 Navarro

00:54:04.640 treatment, this

00:54:06.720 feels like it

00:54:07.420 could happen

00:54:07.880 to me, like

00:54:09.880 actually literally

00:54:10.660 me, like

00:54:12.560 actually I saw

00:54:13.400 myself in

00:54:13.980 chains, because 0.80

00:54:16.320 Navarro's, he's

00:54:21.000 pretty close to

00:54:21.660 the inner

00:54:21.960 circle, but

00:54:23.620 the real

00:54:24.000 reason he's

00:54:24.460 being treated

00:54:24.920 like this is

00:54:25.880 because he's

00:54:26.640 effective.

00:54:28.660 It's because

00:54:29.460 he's effective.

00:54:31.620 And I worry

00:54:32.640 that if somebody

00:54:33.900 thinks I'm too

00:54:34.580 effective, I

00:54:35.460 will get taken

00:54:36.160 out too.

00:54:37.440 Now, as you

00:54:38.040 might imagine,

00:54:39.500 I have been

00:54:39.960 warned that

00:54:40.540 that's going

00:54:40.940 to happen.

00:54:43.360 And warned

00:54:44.400 by people who

00:54:45.420 definitely know

00:54:46.020 what they're

00:54:46.260 talking about

00:54:46.860 when they

00:54:48.040 make warnings

00:54:48.660 of that kind.

00:54:49.560 So I know

00:54:50.060 it's coming

00:54:50.540 for me.

00:54:52.700 But we'll

00:54:56.340 see how

00:54:56.740 interesting that

00:54:57.420 gets.

00:54:59.040 So I would

00:54:59.900 say that

00:55:00.380 sometime

00:55:00.720 between now

00:55:01.860 and 2024.

00:55:07.720 Yeah, I'll

00:55:08.540 either get

00:55:08.980 metooed, or

00:55:11.840 there'll be

00:55:12.520 like a big

00:55:13.360 fake news of

00:55:14.260 something I

00:55:14.740 said that's

00:55:15.280 out of

00:55:15.520 context.

00:55:17.200 Something like

00:55:17.940 that.

00:55:21.440 Yeah.

00:55:22.320 But it's

00:55:23.060 definitely coming

00:55:23.600 my way.

00:55:25.580 I don't mind a 1.00

00:55:26.740 good fight, so

00:55:27.400 let's bring that

00:55:29.180 on.

00:55:29.400 bring it

00:55:30.620 on.

00:55:33.240 All right.

00:55:34.860 Did you see

00:55:35.500 the tweet

00:55:35.880 exchange between

00:55:36.700 Elon Musk and

00:55:37.860 the CEO of

00:55:38.920 another electric

00:55:40.900 car company

00:55:41.500 called

00:55:42.300 Atlassian?

00:55:45.040 Atlassian.

00:55:46.140 Terrible name

00:55:46.720 for a company.

00:55:48.340 And their

00:55:49.440 CEO was

00:55:50.080 responding to

00:55:50.740 the fact that

00:55:51.520 Musk said

00:55:52.360 people need

00:55:52.900 to come to

00:55:53.280 the actual

00:55:54.000 office to

00:55:54.560 work at

00:55:55.040 Tesla.

00:55:56.180 And one

00:55:56.920 of their

00:55:57.120 co-founders

00:55:57.760 at Atlassian

00:55:59.360 Scott

00:56:00.180 Farkuhar? 0.96

00:56:03.560 He tweeted

00:56:04.340 a thread.

00:56:05.460 He was

00:56:05.640 mocking Musk

00:56:06.540 and he

00:56:06.820 says,

00:56:07.480 today feels

00:56:08.040 like something

00:56:08.560 out of the

00:56:08.960 1950s.

00:56:10.120 Quote,

00:56:10.660 everyone at

00:56:11.280 Tesla is

00:56:11.760 required to

00:56:12.440 spend a

00:56:12.760 minimum of

00:56:13.240 40 hours in

00:56:13.900 the office

00:56:14.220 per week.

00:56:15.160 Very

00:56:15.460 different

00:56:15.800 approach to

00:56:16.740 what we

00:56:17.120 are taking

00:56:18.000 at Atlassian

00:56:18.940 and here's

00:56:19.500 why.

00:56:20.100 And he

00:56:20.320 goes on to

00:56:20.820 describe their

00:56:22.520 open remote

00:56:23.920 work culture

00:56:24.940 and how

00:56:25.840 successful and

00:56:26.640 economical and

00:56:27.580 awesome it

00:56:28.120 is.

00:56:28.340 And then

00:56:30.160 Elon Musk

00:56:30.880 replies to

00:56:31.700 the entire

00:56:32.140 thread this

00:56:33.280 way.

00:56:34.540 The above

00:56:35.040 set of

00:56:35.420 tweets

00:56:35.720 illustrate why

00:56:36.820 recessions serve

00:56:37.920 a vital

00:56:38.340 economic

00:56:38.980 cleansing

00:56:39.520 function.

00:56:40.060 function.

00:56:48.960 Oh God,

00:56:50.280 that is so

00:56:51.180 funny.

00:56:52.540 So he

00:56:53.020 lets this

00:56:53.400 guy just

00:56:53.820 like,

00:56:54.600 just use

00:56:55.360 all of his

00:56:55.900 ammo,

00:56:56.700 like this

00:56:57.080 big thread

00:56:57.680 of how

00:56:58.020 awesome they

00:56:58.620 are.

00:56:59.280 And when

00:56:59.540 he's all

00:56:59.860 done,

00:57:00.760 well that

00:57:01.240 illustrates why

00:57:01.980 recessions serve

00:57:02.900 a vital

00:57:03.300 economic

00:57:03.820 cleansing

00:57:04.240 function.

00:57:04.840 That is so

00:57:09.340 good.

00:57:10.280 That's just

00:57:10.740 so good.

00:57:17.040 Fuck.

00:57:19.020 All right,

00:57:19.780 well the

00:57:20.220 news of

00:57:20.800 Ukraine is

00:57:22.580 equally

00:57:23.020 ridiculous.

00:57:25.580 That Putin

00:57:26.500 has won

00:57:27.060 everything he

00:57:27.680 wanted.

00:57:29.000 And the

00:57:29.800 big worry

00:57:30.280 is that we

00:57:30.840 don't want to

00:57:31.300 humiliate him

00:57:32.000 before we

00:57:32.740 sue for 0.79

00:57:33.120 peace.

00:57:33.460 now wait

00:57:35.700 a minute.

00:57:36.620 Don't we

00:57:36.980 have to

00:57:37.240 make up

00:57:37.580 our mind?

00:57:39.360 How can

00:57:39.900 it be

00:57:40.220 true that

00:57:41.600 Putin has

00:57:42.140 won everything

00:57:42.700 he really

00:57:43.160 wanted,

00:57:43.840 which is

00:57:44.140 90% of

00:57:44.940 the economic

00:57:46.060 engine of

00:57:47.460 Ukraine,

00:57:48.680 plus a

00:57:49.380 land bridge,

00:57:50.220 plus total

00:57:50.780 control of

00:57:52.000 Ukraine's

00:57:53.160 access to

00:57:54.280 the ocean.

00:57:56.960 Basically,

00:57:58.020 Putin won

00:57:59.480 the war and

00:58:00.140 he's just

00:58:00.540 consolidating it

00:58:01.340 now.

00:58:02.180 At the

00:58:02.560 same time,

00:58:03.460 Putin totally

00:58:04.600 won the

00:58:05.000 war.

00:58:06.460 We're

00:58:07.020 trying to

00:58:07.360 make sure

00:58:07.660 we don't

00:58:08.040 make him

00:58:08.400 feel bad

00:58:08.960 or humiliate

00:58:10.700 him for

00:58:11.180 his gigantic

00:58:11.780 victory.

00:58:13.900 What is

00:58:14.600 happening?

00:58:16.520 What is

00:58:16.900 happening?

00:58:18.660 They can't

00:58:19.480 both be

00:58:20.020 true.

00:58:21.260 Does Putin

00:58:22.400 think that

00:58:22.900 he lost?

00:58:24.580 Are we

00:58:25.000 worried that

00:58:25.500 Putin thinks

00:58:26.020 he lost?

00:58:26.760 Because I

00:58:27.160 think Putin

00:58:27.600 thinks that

00:58:28.960 he will tell

00:58:29.660 the Russian

00:58:30.600 people he

00:58:31.140 won.

00:58:31.420 he will

00:58:32.700 add this

00:58:33.120 gigantic

00:58:33.620 economic

00:58:34.260 engine to

00:58:34.880 Russia.

00:58:36.200 They will

00:58:36.620 adjust to

00:58:37.200 the sanctions

00:58:37.800 and probably

00:58:39.940 come out

00:58:40.500 ahead.

00:58:40.940 If you

00:58:42.720 had to

00:58:43.140 ask me to

00:58:43.860 score this

00:58:44.720 on economics

00:58:46.220 alone,

00:58:47.080 now on evil,

00:58:47.920 it's evil.

00:58:49.220 So, you know,

00:58:49.940 on the evil

00:58:50.640 checklist, evil,

00:58:51.760 yes or no?

00:58:52.680 Oh, yes.

00:58:53.400 Yes, it was

00:58:53.820 evil.

00:58:54.580 So we're not

00:58:55.320 talking evil.

00:58:56.760 That's no

00:58:57.480 contest.

00:58:59.540 But economics,

00:59:01.260 it looks to

00:59:03.040 me like it

00:59:03.540 was a good

00:59:03.920 investment.

00:59:07.060 I hate to

00:59:07.820 say it,

00:59:08.700 because you

00:59:09.480 don't want

00:59:09.860 anybody to

00:59:10.300 be incentivized

00:59:11.600 to do it

00:59:12.000 again.

00:59:12.920 But it

00:59:13.420 does look

00:59:14.100 like it's

00:59:14.520 going to

00:59:14.760 work as

00:59:15.920 of today.

00:59:17.080 What do

00:59:17.560 you think?

00:59:19.200 I mean, it's

00:59:19.800 too hard to

00:59:20.300 predict, but

00:59:20.880 as of today,

00:59:21.840 it looks like

00:59:22.280 it worked.

00:59:22.720 And it

00:59:24.520 looks like

00:59:24.920 Putin's maybe

00:59:25.640 not going to

00:59:26.160 drop dead

00:59:26.640 tomorrow, and

00:59:27.640 it looks like

00:59:28.900 he will be

00:59:29.300 the hero of

00:59:30.020 Russia for

00:59:30.600 consolidating that

00:59:31.580 part of the

00:59:31.940 world, and

00:59:32.540 I don't know.

00:59:34.080 I think he

00:59:34.660 probably gained

00:59:35.560 more than

00:59:36.780 the sanctions

00:59:37.300 will cost him

00:59:38.040 in the long

00:59:38.440 run, assuming

00:59:40.760 he can find

00:59:41.400 workarounds and

00:59:42.360 places to sell

00:59:43.260 his energy, and

00:59:43.960 I think he

00:59:44.400 probably will.

00:59:47.780 Yeah, war

00:59:48.800 was good for

00:59:49.360 business, so

00:59:50.000 that's not

00:59:50.400 exactly what we

00:59:51.260 hope to get

00:59:51.700 out of that,

00:59:52.180 is it?

00:59:53.240 All right,

00:59:53.840 is there

00:59:54.040 anything I

00:59:54.360 didn't talk

00:59:54.720 about that

00:59:55.340 you know I

00:59:56.040 should have?

01:00:07.240 Weed variety,

01:00:08.440 what about it?

01:00:12.620 Who doesn't

01:00:13.360 want to buy

01:00:13.900 oil here?

01:00:19.980 Psychoprovocations

01:00:20.420 is what is

01:00:20.940 evil.

01:00:21.220 So do you

01:00:23.120 think that

01:00:23.700 how does the

01:00:26.700 Biden

01:00:26.940 administration

01:00:27.640 spin the

01:00:28.900 fact that

01:00:29.420 they put

01:00:29.780 $40 billion

01:00:32.080 into losing?

01:00:35.600 Because what

01:00:36.500 is it that

01:00:37.040 we're protecting

01:00:38.720 there exactly?

01:00:41.420 You know, is

01:00:42.300 the Ukraine

01:00:42.880 that's left

01:00:43.540 10% of the

01:00:45.360 economic power

01:00:46.200 of what it

01:00:46.540 had?

01:00:46.800 that's the

01:00:47.680 part we're

01:00:48.040 defending?

01:00:50.280 Because it

01:00:50.860 feels like

01:00:51.220 that's going

01:00:51.560 to just

01:00:52.080 turn into

01:00:52.520 farmland or

01:00:53.220 something.

01:00:54.280 I guess it

01:00:54.860 probably is.

01:00:55.740 It probably

01:00:55.780 is.

01:01:06.080 Navarro

01:01:06.700 persuasion

01:01:07.280 evaluation in

01:01:08.280 future live

01:01:09.140 streams.

01:01:09.480 So the

01:01:10.220 question is,

01:01:10.840 was Navarro

01:01:11.600 persuasive?

01:01:12.800 I would say

01:01:13.280 yes.

01:01:14.380 Because Navarro

01:01:15.280 was visual.

01:01:18.100 He talked

01:01:18.540 about, you

01:01:19.440 know, the

01:01:19.700 actual, you

01:01:20.560 could imagine

01:01:21.060 the visual

01:01:21.640 part of it.

01:01:22.380 I didn't see

01:01:23.280 any pictures.

01:01:24.680 Has anybody

01:01:25.020 seen pictures

01:01:25.760 of him being

01:01:26.460 apprehended?

01:01:27.900 I hate to

01:01:28.280 say apprehended.

01:01:29.000 Now, so he

01:01:33.300 did a good

01:01:33.760 job of

01:01:34.260 describing it,

01:01:35.280 especially with

01:01:36.060 the chains

01:01:37.900 on the

01:01:38.200 legs.

01:01:38.820 He also

01:01:39.440 said that

01:01:39.880 they put

01:01:40.220 him in

01:01:40.680 James

01:01:41.440 Hinckley's

01:01:42.140 cell because

01:01:43.460 they thought

01:01:43.820 it was

01:01:44.040 funny.

01:01:46.840 Or they

01:01:47.500 thought it

01:01:47.780 was funny

01:01:48.060 to mention

01:01:48.480 it to him.

01:01:49.300 Just think

01:01:49.720 about that.

01:01:51.060 Imagine being

01:01:51.700 put in

01:01:52.100 Hinckley's

01:01:53.140 cell.

01:01:55.980 Now,

01:01:56.260 Indica or 0.98

01:02:09.900 Sativa?

01:02:11.500 Both.

01:02:12.180 It depends

01:02:12.460 on the

01:02:12.700 time of

01:02:12.960 day.

01:02:15.920 All right.

01:02:17.200 Yeah, do

01:02:17.820 you think

01:02:18.140 that my

01:02:18.660 prediction

01:02:19.680 that

01:02:20.300 Republicans

01:02:22.000 would be

01:02:22.600 hunted

01:02:22.900 was

01:02:24.600 accurate?

01:02:26.260 You know

01:02:28.160 what I

01:02:28.440 would love

01:02:28.980 is if

01:02:29.460 somebody

01:02:29.760 would put

01:02:30.140 together

01:02:30.560 a meme

01:02:31.460 of all

01:02:32.160 the times

01:02:32.660 that

01:02:33.040 Republicans

01:02:34.000 have been

01:02:34.500 hunted.

01:02:36.780 Has anybody

01:02:37.460 ever done

01:02:37.880 that?

01:02:38.140 Have you

01:02:38.300 ever seen

01:02:38.620 it?

01:02:39.800 Because

01:02:40.120 every time

01:02:40.540 somebody

01:02:40.860 says,

01:02:41.640 one of the

01:02:43.200 things I'm

01:02:43.680 most criticized

01:02:44.420 for,

01:02:46.140 actually,

01:02:47.380 I think

01:02:47.740 the things

01:02:48.140 throughout my

01:02:48.620 life that

01:02:49.020 I've been

01:02:49.300 most criticized

01:02:50.120 for,

01:02:50.940 I was

01:02:51.460 right.

01:02:54.060 I guess

01:02:54.680 it always

01:02:54.980 works that

01:02:55.360 way.

01:02:56.260 It does

01:03:07.640 look like

01:03:08.120 we've

01:03:08.860 been

01:03:09.040 hunted,

01:03:10.520 people say.

01:03:15.660 Yeah,

01:03:16.340 you know,

01:03:17.280 so people

01:03:17.980 think that

01:03:18.500 that's my

01:03:19.020 dumbest

01:03:19.800 thing I've

01:03:20.180 ever said.

01:03:20.760 So when

01:03:21.060 the people

01:03:22.080 on the

01:03:22.340 left

01:03:22.580 want to

01:03:23.100 take my

01:03:24.140 old tweets

01:03:24.700 to embarrass

01:03:25.300 me,

01:03:26.160 which they

01:03:26.920 do if I

01:03:27.380 make a

01:03:27.720 good point

01:03:28.200 in the

01:03:28.960 present,

01:03:29.800 there should

01:03:30.180 be a name

01:03:30.640 for people

01:03:31.200 who try

01:03:33.240 to show

01:03:33.660 your past

01:03:34.320 tweets to

01:03:36.080 criticize your

01:03:36.920 current opinion,

01:03:37.660 because it's

01:03:39.500 ridiculous.

01:03:41.100 Either your

01:03:41.540 current opinion

01:03:42.200 makes sense

01:03:42.740 on its own

01:03:43.280 or it

01:03:43.540 doesn't.

01:03:44.020 You don't

01:03:44.300 really need

01:03:44.920 to bring

01:03:45.200 in the

01:03:45.440 past,

01:03:45.880 do you?

01:03:53.100 Yeah,

01:03:54.000 so just

01:03:54.720 finishing my

01:03:55.480 Trump statement

01:03:56.600 about Navarro,

01:03:57.700 if Navarro

01:03:58.500 goes down,

01:04:00.620 as in

01:04:01.760 goes to

01:04:02.540 prison,

01:04:02.840 over this,

01:04:04.660 specifically

01:04:05.160 this,

01:04:07.280 I feel

01:04:08.420 like I'm

01:04:08.840 all in

01:04:09.220 on Trump.

01:04:11.520 And it

01:04:12.120 wouldn't be

01:04:12.640 even based

01:04:13.760 on policy

01:04:14.400 again.

01:04:15.520 It would

01:04:16.520 be based

01:04:17.020 on him

01:04:17.380 breaking

01:04:17.720 the system.

01:04:19.580 So if

01:04:21.720 DeSantis

01:04:22.160 would break

01:04:22.740 the system,

01:04:23.380 maybe I

01:04:24.040 could get

01:04:24.320 behind him

01:04:24.820 if he'd

01:04:25.160 be a

01:04:25.360 little more

01:04:25.680 free speech.

01:04:27.020 That part

01:04:27.700 does bother

01:04:28.160 me.

01:04:29.860 You know,

01:04:30.120 unfortunately,

01:04:30.680 we don't

01:04:30.940 have the

01:04:31.460 option of

01:04:32.420 the politician

01:04:33.120 who gives

01:04:33.580 us everything

01:04:34.060 we want.

01:04:35.480 You've

01:04:35.800 got to

01:04:36.000 pick one

01:04:36.360 who's

01:04:36.660 80%

01:04:37.520 there at

01:04:38.140 best.

01:04:42.680 It

01:04:43.160 can't

01:04:43.500 hinge

01:04:43.860 on

01:04:44.040 electing

01:04:44.460 Trump.

01:04:45.660 Yeah,

01:04:46.320 it's just

01:04:46.660 that Trump's

01:04:47.220 the only

01:04:47.440 one who

01:04:47.720 could break

01:04:48.080 the system

01:04:48.560 at this

01:04:48.920 point.

01:04:50.160 But I

01:04:50.780 think he

01:04:51.240 might over

01:04:51.760 break it.

01:04:52.540 There is

01:04:52.860 a risk.

01:04:58.180 All right.

01:05:00.400 I believe

01:05:01.060 I've done

01:05:01.580 everything I

01:05:02.060 need to

01:05:02.340 do today.

01:05:03.200 My mission

01:05:03.700 is complete.

01:05:04.560 You're all

01:05:05.000 smarter and

01:05:05.520 happier.

01:05:06.600 Some of

01:05:07.060 you are

01:05:07.280 better looking.

01:05:09.260 Have any

01:05:09.820 of you

01:05:10.040 noticed that

01:05:10.580 you get a

01:05:11.000 dopamine hit

01:05:11.660 from watching

01:05:12.280 this live

01:05:12.780 stream?

01:05:14.640 Anybody?

01:05:16.900 Yeah,

01:05:17.640 you do.

01:05:19.000 Is there

01:05:19.460 a point in

01:05:20.340 the live

01:05:20.700 stream where

01:05:21.260 you can

01:05:21.640 feel it

01:05:22.100 the most?

01:05:24.700 It's the

01:05:25.380 caffeine.

01:05:26.680 So here's

01:05:27.360 a little

01:05:27.660 thank you,

01:05:30.020 you do.

01:05:31.060 Now here's

01:05:32.060 a little

01:05:32.380 tip.

01:05:35.140 If you

01:05:35.780 want to

01:05:36.520 train a

01:05:37.840 human,

01:05:38.260 it's the

01:05:38.560 same as

01:05:38.900 training a

01:05:39.360 dog.

01:05:40.800 Now that's

01:05:41.340 not an

01:05:41.720 insult to

01:05:42.220 humans.

01:05:43.900 Right?

01:05:44.620 Are there

01:05:44.980 enough dog

01:05:45.620 lovers here

01:05:46.220 that you

01:05:47.080 get that

01:05:47.540 that's not

01:05:47.980 an insult

01:05:48.400 to humans?

01:05:50.760 That humans

01:05:51.600 and dogs

01:05:52.120 can be

01:05:52.480 trained the

01:05:52.920 same way,

01:05:53.560 with treats.

01:05:54.760 We go

01:05:55.340 toward treats

01:05:56.060 and we go

01:05:56.540 away from

01:05:57.060 pain.

01:05:57.980 So here's

01:06:00.220 the rule.

01:06:02.920 You can

01:06:03.360 train people

01:06:04.040 with treats

01:06:04.580 in two

01:06:05.080 different ways,

01:06:06.960 you know,

01:06:07.180 simplifying.

01:06:08.620 One is a

01:06:10.140 huge,

01:06:10.980 huge single

01:06:12.280 treat and

01:06:13.720 people will

01:06:14.260 work really

01:06:14.720 hard to get

01:06:15.180 it, like a

01:06:16.000 lottery.

01:06:17.120 You know,

01:06:17.280 people will

01:06:17.680 do irrational

01:06:18.600 things to win

01:06:19.340 a lottery,

01:06:20.000 like buy a

01:06:20.540 ticket.

01:06:20.980 So you can

01:06:24.440 train them

01:06:24.820 with a

01:06:25.340 delicious,

01:06:26.200 gigantic

01:06:26.580 treat.

01:06:27.820 But you

01:06:28.180 can also

01:06:28.840 train people

01:06:29.600 with micro

01:06:30.880 doses of

01:06:33.220 treats.

01:06:34.320 Just little

01:06:35.360 imperceptible

01:06:36.540 benefits.

01:06:38.740 And by

01:06:40.060 pairing this

01:06:41.160 show with

01:06:42.380 a sip of

01:06:43.000 coffee, even

01:06:44.120 if you've had

01:06:44.640 several sips

01:06:45.260 already and

01:06:45.980 even if you

01:06:46.440 drink coffee

01:06:46.960 every day,

01:06:47.760 the pairing

01:06:48.400 of the show

01:06:49.060 with the

01:06:49.600 sensation of

01:06:50.280 the coffee,

01:06:51.240 because the

01:06:51.680 coffee gives

01:06:52.140 you a positive

01:06:52.760 feeling,

01:06:53.180 should,

01:06:54.460 should, in

01:06:56.480 theory, over

01:06:57.260 time, even

01:06:59.020 if it's the

01:06:59.520 tiniest, tiniest

01:07:00.360 little micro

01:07:01.100 treat, it

01:07:02.600 should addict

01:07:03.300 you over

01:07:03.820 time in a

01:07:04.780 way that when

01:07:05.500 you come back,

01:07:06.560 it triggers the

01:07:07.260 dopamine.

01:07:08.640 So we're

01:07:09.200 actually setting

01:07:09.880 up a brain

01:07:11.420 hack, and I'm

01:07:13.060 doing this right

01:07:13.800 in front of you

01:07:14.340 intentionally and

01:07:15.500 with your

01:07:16.120 permission, because

01:07:17.500 if you don't

01:07:18.080 like this, all

01:07:19.320 you have to do

01:07:19.720 is not drink

01:07:20.340 coffee or

01:07:21.760 join late, so

01:07:24.160 it's a

01:07:25.620 voluntary

01:07:25.960 experiment.

01:07:28.320 But you can

01:07:29.120 see in the

01:07:29.460 answers that it

01:07:30.060 works.

01:07:31.180 If you just

01:07:32.040 consistently pair

01:07:33.040 the positive

01:07:34.020 thing over

01:07:35.400 time, those

01:07:36.560 little micro

01:07:37.300 benefits add

01:07:38.740 up.

01:07:39.900 So this is

01:07:40.880 one of the

01:07:41.180 things you

01:07:41.560 can do in

01:07:42.080 your social

01:07:42.560 life, or

01:07:44.080 your business

01:07:44.540 life, too.

01:07:45.980 You can give

01:07:47.640 people the

01:07:48.240 smallest, smallest

01:07:49.500 little benefits

01:07:50.440 benefits, as

01:07:51.500 long as

01:07:51.900 they're

01:07:52.060 consistent.

01:07:53.600 So that

01:07:54.200 every time

01:07:54.680 that they

01:07:55.080 see you, they

01:07:56.460 get this

01:07:56.840 little micro

01:07:57.500 treat, and

01:07:59.160 they might

01:07:59.480 not even

01:07:59.880 register it.

01:08:01.260 Don't even

01:08:01.720 know why.

01:08:03.860 When people

01:08:04.560 ask me how

01:08:05.180 I'm doing,

01:08:07.400 well, actually,

01:08:08.380 what do you

01:08:08.800 say?

01:08:09.600 Let me ask

01:08:10.080 you this

01:08:10.320 question.

01:08:10.700 I'll ask

01:08:11.280 you as if I

01:08:11.840 walked past

01:08:12.420 you on the

01:08:12.820 street.

01:08:14.200 Hey, how

01:08:14.860 are you?

01:08:15.980 Answer, please.

01:08:17.220 How are you?

01:08:18.140 Give me your

01:08:18.640 real answer, the

01:08:19.840 one you

01:08:20.180 always use.

01:08:24.040 All right, I'm

01:08:24.780 saying great,

01:08:25.520 good, fantastic,

01:08:26.880 tired, amazing,

01:08:27.900 good, terrific,

01:08:29.360 doing well,

01:08:30.520 fine.

01:08:32.180 Yep.

01:08:32.860 All right.

01:08:34.440 Here's what I

01:08:35.160 like to say.

01:08:36.920 Amazing.

01:08:39.660 Because every

01:08:40.400 time somebody

01:08:41.140 says, how

01:08:41.540 are you doing,

01:08:42.000 and I say

01:08:42.420 amazing, it

01:08:44.280 makes them feel

01:08:44.900 good.

01:08:46.920 It does.

01:08:47.980 Try it.

01:08:48.960 If somebody

01:08:49.420 says, how

01:08:49.820 are you doing,

01:08:50.380 and you

01:08:50.580 just look at

01:08:51.020 them and

01:08:51.220 say, amazing,

01:08:52.580 they will

01:08:54.940 feel good.

01:08:55.800 Because you

01:08:56.220 know what

01:08:56.400 feels good?

01:08:57.860 Hanging

01:08:58.260 around with

01:08:58.780 people who

01:08:59.240 feel good.

01:09:01.020 It's like

01:09:01.580 one of the

01:09:01.900 best feelings

01:09:02.380 in the

01:09:02.660 world.

01:09:03.260 There's

01:09:03.540 nothing that

01:09:04.600 is consistently

01:09:05.940 awesome than

01:09:07.820 just being

01:09:08.340 near somebody

01:09:09.000 who feels

01:09:09.520 good.

01:09:10.500 It just

01:09:10.920 comes off

01:09:12.040 on you.

01:09:13.140 So here's

01:09:14.720 the smallest

01:09:15.540 little life

01:09:16.600 hack that

01:09:17.180 could change

01:09:17.780 your life

01:09:18.260 completely.

01:09:19.340 When somebody

01:09:20.040 asks you,

01:09:20.500 how are you

01:09:20.620 doing,

01:09:21.800 just say,

01:09:22.540 amazing.

01:09:23.960 It doesn't

01:09:24.540 even have to

01:09:24.940 be true.

01:09:26.520 But you

01:09:27.080 will give

01:09:27.360 them a

01:09:27.720 little treat

01:09:28.300 every time

01:09:29.120 they have

01:09:29.560 that interaction

01:09:30.560 with you.

01:09:31.060 And over

01:09:31.360 time, they'll

01:09:32.600 have this

01:09:32.980 positive feeling

01:09:33.780 about you,

01:09:34.220 and they

01:09:34.440 won't even

01:09:34.760 know why.

01:09:36.020 They'll think

01:09:36.500 it's because

01:09:37.000 of your good

01:09:37.600 looks and

01:09:38.080 your sex 0.99

01:09:38.680 appeal.

01:09:38.960 people, but

01:09:39.920 it will be

01:09:40.240 because you

01:09:40.700 literally gave

01:09:41.480 them a

01:09:41.800 treat every

01:09:42.920 time you

01:09:43.320 saw them.

01:09:44.920 And it

01:09:45.240 adds up.

01:09:47.160 So, the

01:09:48.480 hypnotist

01:09:49.120 worldview is

01:09:51.020 that we're

01:09:51.800 continuously

01:09:53.000 engaged in

01:09:54.020 treats and

01:09:55.520 penalties.

01:09:57.060 And that if

01:09:57.700 you don't see

01:09:58.280 the world

01:09:58.600 that way,

01:09:59.420 then you're

01:10:00.100 inadvertently

01:10:01.260 penalizing and 0.54

01:10:02.340 treating people.

01:10:03.500 So you're not

01:10:04.000 getting a result

01:10:04.640 you want,

01:10:05.980 because you're

01:10:06.420 throwing treats

01:10:07.080 into the wind,

01:10:07.880 and you're

01:10:08.760 throwing penalties

01:10:09.400 into the wind.

01:10:10.920 And you're

01:10:11.320 just randomly,

01:10:12.360 and if somebody

01:10:13.100 says, why are

01:10:13.660 you acting that

01:10:14.280 way, you'd

01:10:14.620 say, I'm

01:10:15.200 just being

01:10:15.620 me.

01:10:16.620 I'm just

01:10:17.200 being me.

01:10:18.200 I'm just

01:10:18.580 being honest.

01:10:20.560 Well, you

01:10:21.720 have that

01:10:22.100 option.

01:10:23.020 You can just

01:10:23.640 be you, and

01:10:25.100 you can be

01:10:25.500 honest, and

01:10:26.340 that works for

01:10:27.080 a lot of

01:10:27.340 people.

01:10:28.600 But, if you

01:10:30.020 want to be

01:10:30.360 effective and

01:10:31.020 happy, and

01:10:32.780 have friends and

01:10:33.680 stuff like that,

01:10:34.880 then I would

01:10:35.380 recommend that you

01:10:36.040 don't do that

01:10:36.700 honest thing.

01:10:37.880 that you do

01:10:39.860 what is good

01:10:40.680 for other

01:10:41.120 people, however

01:10:43.220 that feels, because

01:10:44.620 that's how you get

01:10:45.180 the treats, and

01:10:47.060 you build this

01:10:47.960 virtuous feedback

01:10:48.820 thing.

01:10:49.980 So, definitely

01:10:50.680 don't be

01:10:51.200 yourself, and

01:10:52.240 don't be

01:10:52.600 honest.

01:10:53.680 If your

01:10:54.340 alternative is

01:10:56.400 to be nice to

01:10:57.140 people and give

01:10:57.740 them something that

01:10:58.540 can change them

01:11:00.140 in a positive

01:11:00.800 way.

01:11:01.060 somebody says, I

01:11:09.720 expect that

01:11:10.280 retail personnel

01:11:11.020 are trained to

01:11:11.700 ask the

01:11:12.000 customer, how's

01:11:12.660 your day going?

01:11:13.860 But, whenever I

01:11:14.700 ask if that's the

01:11:15.480 case, they always

01:11:16.280 deny it.

01:11:17.480 I don't think it's

01:11:18.220 part of the actual

01:11:19.040 training, though,

01:11:20.500 except that they

01:11:21.440 probably observed

01:11:22.580 whoever trained

01:11:23.400 them doing the

01:11:24.000 same thing.

01:11:24.600 I think it's just

01:11:25.120 what you say

01:11:26.140 when you meet

01:11:26.560 people.

01:11:30.640 All right.

01:11:37.000 What about

01:11:41.020 accusations of

01:11:42.100 what?

01:11:44.640 Of sounding

01:11:45.480 fake?

01:11:48.520 Well, let me

01:11:49.180 ask you this.

01:11:50.140 If you saw me,

01:11:51.260 and you said, how

01:11:51.880 are you doing?

01:11:52.320 And I said, amazing.

01:11:53.300 Would your

01:11:55.160 first thought be,

01:11:56.060 well, this guy's

01:11:56.600 such a fake.

01:11:57.700 I'll bet it's not

01:11:58.280 so amazing.

01:11:59.880 Would you think

01:12:00.420 that?

01:12:03.920 I don't think

01:12:04.600 most of you

01:12:05.040 would.

01:12:05.880 I think most of

01:12:06.740 you would say

01:12:07.220 that I'm saying

01:12:07.840 that for a fact.

01:12:12.440 And I'd rather

01:12:13.460 be around somebody

01:12:14.360 who said positive

01:12:15.320 things.

01:12:17.000 You know, the

01:12:17.720 whole thing

01:12:18.100 about, let

01:12:20.820 me, I'm going

01:12:22.680 to go even

01:12:23.160 further here.

01:12:24.920 All right.

01:12:25.740 This is going

01:12:26.440 to be a little

01:12:26.760 more provocative

01:12:27.520 than you hoped

01:12:28.120 for.

01:12:28.700 I'm going to

01:12:29.000 lose a few

01:12:29.500 of you on

01:12:29.840 this.

01:12:31.600 People who

01:12:32.200 think in that

01:12:32.880 frame of

01:12:34.360 people being

01:12:35.420 fake versus

01:12:36.320 not fake are

01:12:38.000 really disadvantaged

01:12:39.060 in life.

01:12:40.720 It's a very,

01:12:42.140 very nonproductive

01:12:43.960 frame.

01:12:47.260 So, just keep

01:12:49.440 that in mind.

01:13:00.460 Here's why.

01:13:01.760 So, if you're

01:13:02.880 worried about

01:13:03.380 who's fake and

01:13:04.100 who's not,

01:13:05.120 you're losing the

01:13:06.060 fact that it's

01:13:06.620 all fake.

01:13:10.120 That's really

01:13:10.880 important.

01:13:12.600 It's really

01:13:13.300 important.

01:13:13.720 If you think

01:13:14.880 some of it's

01:13:15.620 true, you are

01:13:17.540 going to have a

01:13:18.020 terrible life

01:13:18.720 because you

01:13:19.920 won't be able to

01:13:20.520 navigate that

01:13:21.340 kind of reality,

01:13:22.660 trying to figure

01:13:23.260 out who's being

01:13:24.500 authentic and

01:13:25.980 who's being fake.

01:13:28.180 If you think

01:13:29.080 some people are

01:13:29.800 authentic, you'll

01:13:31.340 never understand

01:13:32.180 anything.

01:13:33.420 There's no such

01:13:34.140 thing as authentic.

01:13:35.820 There's just what

01:13:36.660 people do.

01:13:37.260 whatever reason

01:13:39.780 they do it,

01:13:40.320 they do it.

01:13:41.020 They just do

01:13:41.620 it.

01:13:44.140 So, the whole

01:13:45.040 what is fake

01:13:45.900 and what isn't,

01:13:46.860 as soon as you

01:13:47.880 allow that to be

01:13:48.920 your frame,

01:13:50.040 you're lost.

01:13:51.500 I would never

01:13:52.160 hire somebody

01:13:52.880 who had that

01:13:53.240 frame of view

01:13:53.820 because they'd

01:13:56.740 be lost in it.

01:13:57.460 They wouldn't be

01:13:57.860 able to navigate

01:13:58.400 the real world.

01:13:59.780 I want somebody

01:14:00.520 who says,

01:14:01.420 oh, this guy's

01:14:02.140 acting fake but

01:14:03.000 it's really

01:14:03.320 working well.

01:14:04.960 This one's

01:14:05.440 acting fake but

01:14:06.340 in a way that

01:14:06.880 isn't getting

01:14:07.440 them what they

01:14:07.900 want, so

01:14:09.340 that's not

01:14:09.780 working well.

01:14:11.840 And this one's

01:14:12.620 acting fake in

01:14:13.620 a way that

01:14:14.160 makes me feel

01:14:14.780 good.

01:14:15.840 Oh, I like

01:14:16.300 that.

01:14:18.700 Yeah, you

01:14:19.340 should be

01:14:19.880 choosing among

01:14:20.580 the fakes,

01:14:21.380 the positive

01:14:22.000 fakes, the

01:14:22.560 good fakes.

01:14:24.000 You should not

01:14:24.800 be looking for

01:14:25.500 the truth.

01:14:26.700 If you're

01:14:27.080 looking for

01:14:27.420 that, you

01:14:27.900 are lost.

01:14:35.140 So, there's

01:14:36.020 some personal

01:14:36.520 questions I'm

01:14:37.280 not going to

01:14:37.700 answer, so

01:14:38.500 don't bother

01:14:39.040 asking.

01:14:44.260 People connect

01:14:45.140 to you more

01:14:45.800 when you're

01:14:46.260 genuine.

01:14:49.360 I'm sorry.

01:14:54.580 I'm sorry you

01:14:55.400 believe that.

01:14:55.920 I don't

01:15:02.040 know.

01:15:05.480 There's

01:15:05.960 definitely

01:15:06.260 something to

01:15:06.940 the fact that

01:15:07.660 in a one-to-one

01:15:09.320 personal relationship

01:15:10.400 that people are

01:15:13.400 more likely to

01:15:14.460 fall in love

01:15:15.040 with somebody

01:15:15.520 who shows

01:15:17.320 you their

01:15:17.760 flaws.

01:15:19.880 Are you with

01:15:20.680 me so far?

01:15:21.180 If somebody

01:15:22.580 shows you

01:15:23.300 their flaws,

01:15:24.240 you can be

01:15:24.880 comfortable with

01:15:25.620 them, and

01:15:26.020 maybe you

01:15:26.760 think you

01:15:27.060 know everything

01:15:27.480 about them

01:15:28.000 that you

01:15:28.200 need to

01:15:28.480 know, and

01:15:29.240 then you

01:15:29.480 can really

01:15:29.800 bond.

01:15:32.200 But is

01:15:32.760 that a

01:15:33.660 question of

01:15:34.160 fake or

01:15:34.520 not fake?

01:15:36.140 See, I

01:15:36.480 think somebody

01:15:36.960 who shows

01:15:37.480 you their

01:15:37.880 flaws is

01:15:39.380 also probably

01:15:41.720 aware that

01:15:42.940 they've chosen

01:15:43.660 an approach.

01:15:46.540 See what I'm

01:15:47.200 saying?

01:15:47.780 It's all

01:15:48.380 fake.

01:15:49.620 It's a

01:15:50.220 strategy.

01:15:51.180 The people

01:15:51.540 who say,

01:15:52.140 I'm just

01:15:52.500 going to

01:15:52.700 show you

01:15:54.060 all my

01:15:54.360 flaws, have

01:15:55.420 decided that

01:15:56.360 that's who

01:15:56.740 they are, and

01:15:57.520 then they're

01:15:57.840 going to

01:15:58.040 present

01:15:58.320 themselves that

01:15:59.040 way.

01:16:00.400 Nothing's

01:16:00.880 true.

01:16:01.720 These are

01:16:02.080 just decisions

01:16:02.780 that people

01:16:03.280 made.

01:16:07.440 And they

01:16:08.080 choose

01:16:08.340 innocuous

01:16:08.940 flaws,

01:16:09.500 exactly.

01:16:11.500 Be careful

01:16:12.360 of the people

01:16:12.840 who tell you

01:16:13.320 all their

01:16:13.760 flaws.

01:16:15.180 They might

01:16:15.540 be holding

01:16:15.920 out a few.

01:16:17.060 It might be

01:16:17.640 a few they

01:16:18.000 haven't

01:16:18.200 mentioned.

01:16:19.100 Yeah, that's

01:16:19.520 always something

01:16:20.140 to worry

01:16:20.420 about.

01:16:21.660 But if you

01:16:23.080 tell yourself

01:16:23.600 you live in

01:16:24.100 a world in

01:16:24.600 which everybody

01:16:25.240 is putting

01:16:25.740 on a

01:16:26.980 show, then

01:16:29.620 you can

01:16:31.280 understand

01:16:31.680 everything.

01:16:33.340 And you

01:16:33.700 say to

01:16:33.960 yourself, what

01:16:34.480 is your

01:16:34.800 obligation in

01:16:35.720 a world in

01:16:36.200 which everybody

01:16:36.700 is putting

01:16:37.140 on a show?

01:16:38.780 To put on

01:16:39.460 a show.

01:16:40.980 You're part

01:16:41.560 of the show.

01:16:42.680 So do your

01:16:43.180 part.

01:16:43.620 Put on your

01:16:44.040 show.

01:16:44.980 Just make

01:16:45.400 sure that the

01:16:45.940 show you put

01:16:46.540 on is positive.

01:16:47.340 Like somebody

01:16:48.980 is better

01:16:49.320 off because

01:16:49.900 of it.

01:16:50.700 If I tell

01:16:51.540 you that

01:16:52.060 everything is

01:16:52.760 going to be

01:16:53.120 fine, even

01:16:54.980 if I think

01:16:55.500 it's not, but

01:16:57.200 there's also

01:16:57.620 nothing you

01:16:58.160 can do about

01:16:58.740 it.

01:16:59.800 So you'd

01:17:00.420 be better off

01:17:01.320 not worrying

01:17:01.820 about it because

01:17:02.280 there's nothing

01:17:02.820 you can do

01:17:03.240 about it.

01:17:05.340 That would

01:17:05.860 be dishonest

01:17:07.540 and fake and

01:17:08.260 all that,

01:17:08.700 right?

01:17:09.300 But it

01:17:10.240 would be

01:17:10.480 well-intentioned.

01:17:13.120 And

01:17:13.420 sometimes

01:17:15.140 that's the

01:17:15.560 best you

01:17:15.860 can do.

01:17:16.880 The best

01:17:17.460 you can do

01:17:17.920 is good

01:17:18.800 intentions.

01:17:21.700 And I

01:17:22.340 think the

01:17:22.640 only way

01:17:23.000 anybody ever

01:17:23.540 gets to

01:17:23.940 good intentions

01:17:24.620 is by

01:17:25.900 genuinely

01:17:26.560 believing that

01:17:27.420 that works

01:17:28.160 out for

01:17:28.520 them as

01:17:28.920 well.

01:17:29.840 Which I

01:17:30.440 do.

01:17:31.420 It is my

01:17:32.260 observation

01:17:33.160 that having

01:17:34.960 good intentions

01:17:35.840 usually works

01:17:37.260 out for me.

01:17:38.000 like in a

01:17:38.940 selfish way.

01:17:39.920 It just

01:17:40.340 takes longer.

01:17:41.640 It takes a

01:17:42.080 little bit

01:17:42.440 longer for

01:17:42.980 that impact

01:17:43.940 to work

01:17:44.480 its way

01:17:44.840 around.

01:17:45.360 But I'm

01:17:45.620 willing to

01:17:46.020 wait.

01:17:46.460 I'm patient.

01:17:52.600 Yeah, so

01:17:53.200 don't try to

01:17:53.660 be genuine.

01:17:55.620 Try to put

01:17:56.420 on the show

01:17:57.020 that's the

01:17:57.520 best show

01:17:57.960 you can put

01:17:58.560 on that

01:17:59.500 helps the

01:18:00.300 world and

01:18:00.760 you too.

01:18:08.000 you too.

01:18:09.620 Or do

01:18:09.720 you just

01:18:10.040 see him

01:18:10.380 patient?

01:18:11.420 Yeah.

01:18:12.640 Alright, that's

01:18:13.580 all for now.

01:18:14.640 I'll talk to

01:18:15.280 you tomorrow.

01:18:17.160 Bye, YouTube.
