Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best thing that's ever happened.
00:00:11.320 Today I plan to solve all of the problems that you knew you had,
00:00:16.360 at least seven to nine problems you didn't even know you had.
00:00:20.920 They'll be solved before they even become part of your conscious mind.
00:00:24.440 Yeah. And the way to do that is via something called the simultaneous sip.
00:00:33.060 Now, you don't have to participate to get the benefits, but just knowing that it exists, that's enough.
00:00:39.720 And all you need if you want to participate is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein,
00:00:44.460 a canteen, jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:50.020 I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:00:58.760 The dopamine to the other day, the thing that makes everything better. Everything.
00:01:04.160 It's called the simultaneous sip, but it happens now. Go.
00:01:10.840 Oh.
00:01:11.520 I didn't think it was possible, but I think I undersold it.
00:01:19.880 I undersold it.
00:01:23.440 Once again, better than I could have ever imagined.
00:01:28.900 Well, I told you in the title to this live stream that it was going to be a perfect news day.
00:01:35.620 What would the perfect news item sound like?
00:01:41.200 If you were going to be the designer of news and you said,
00:01:45.820 all right, let's sit down today.
00:01:48.120 I'm going to concoct some news.
00:01:51.180 It won't even be something that's new.
00:01:54.220 So it doesn't even have to be about something that's just happening right away.
00:01:59.300 Could be some longer term story, but we're going to concoct it into news.
00:02:05.420 What would be the perfect one?
00:02:07.780 Well, it turns out we don't have to wonder because the perfect news item has come to us thanks to the simulation.
00:02:18.520 And what would the perfect news item be?
00:02:21.260 Here it is.
00:02:22.820 The ultimate, and of course it's better on Fox News, but the ultimate Fox News story.
00:02:28.180 This is real, by the way.
00:02:30.500 I'm not making this up.
00:02:32.200 This next part is real.
00:02:35.060 Elon Musk's child, Xavier Alexander Musk, has asked for both a name change and a new birth certificate reflecting a new gender identity.
00:02:47.780 That is a perfect news story.
00:02:51.460 Now, to top it off, to make it more perfect.
00:02:58.180 Elon Musk has said publicly that he's very pro-trans.
00:03:04.340 So, so far, so far the news doesn't have any bite because the famous person in the news, the richest man in the world,
00:03:13.680 is, you know, his personal view is compatible with what's happening in his family, so that's all good.
00:03:18.840 So, you know, I'm glad about that.
00:03:22.000 But he did say, Elon Musk did say, that the pronoun thing is an aesthetic mess, meaning that it's just hard to navigate the different pronouns.
00:03:34.800 And I think most of us would agree at least that far.
00:03:40.440 Can we at least all agree that even, you know, no matter what you think about what pronouns should be used,
00:03:47.360 I think we'd all agree that it could be a little confusing, a little awkward.
00:03:51.840 Yeah, it's a little extra work.
00:03:53.340 A little extra work.
00:03:54.220 So, imagine being the richest man in the world because you are also one of the smartest, best inventors.
00:04:04.860 You know, I think of Elon Musk as sort of an inventor entrepreneur.
00:04:09.100 So imagine being an inventor by nature,
00:04:12.380 and you see that the way the trans community has decided to handle the pronoun stuff,
00:04:18.420 and the supporters and other people as well,
00:04:22.340 is picking one of the few words, they and them,
00:04:27.400 that is confusing.
00:04:30.500 Because it refers to multiple people instead of one.
00:04:34.660 Of all the ways you could have solved this,
00:04:38.700 why did you have to pick words
00:04:40.480 that are confusing in terms of the number of people involved?
00:04:46.520 Of all the solutions,
00:04:48.420 now imagine being the, you know,
00:04:50.620 Elon Musk,
00:04:52.140 and you're thinking,
00:04:53.000 all right,
00:04:54.000 so you've got this situation where the pronoun could be confusing.
00:04:57.520 So maybe we should stop using he and she,
00:05:00.820 and her and him,
00:05:02.260 because now, you know,
00:05:03.240 there's some ambiguity with those words.
00:05:05.920 So why would you add an extra ambiguity
00:05:08.460 when you're trying to deal with the other ambiguity?
00:05:14.000 Why would you create a new ambiguity of the number of people involved?
00:05:19.100 Now, it's not real ambiguity,
00:05:20.640 because usually you can tell in context.
00:05:23.100 But at least your brain is still going,
00:05:24.940 wait, multiple?
00:05:25.960 Oh, single.
00:05:26.900 Oh, okay.
00:05:27.960 And then it has to go on.
00:05:29.380 So it's like this little speed bump for your brain.
00:05:32.020 Very, very unnecessary.
00:05:34.420 Now, let me ask you this.
00:05:35.640 You don't think that out of the 7 billion of us,
00:05:39.280 if we did a little brainstorming,
00:05:41.620 we could come up with a new pronoun
00:05:43.520 for a single person,
00:05:45.740 an individual.
00:05:48.580 We can't do that?
00:05:49.800 Of all the things the humans on this planet would like to do,
00:05:55.100 now, it's something better than it.
00:06:00.360 You know, you're making my point.
00:06:02.260 There are 7 billion of us.
00:06:03.880 I'm sure,
00:06:05.320 I'm sure we can come up with a non-insulting name,
00:06:10.280 pronoun,
00:06:11.500 a non-insulting pronoun
00:06:13.200 that doesn't also confuse you about the number of people involved.
00:06:16.800 Do you think that's too big of a hurdle?
00:06:20.500 Do you think that we've become such a divided country
00:06:23.500 that we couldn't do that?
00:06:26.900 I honestly can't think of an easier problem to solve.
00:06:33.380 We just come up with a word that hasn't been used before.
00:06:38.680 May I suggest that whatever our new word is,
00:06:42.600 let me add a specification here.
00:06:44.600 Let me suggest that whatever the new word is,
00:06:47.400 it can't add ambiguity, number one,
00:06:49.960 but it should not be a word we already use for something else.
00:06:54.360 Can we at least fucking agree on that?
00:06:58.760 Why?
00:06:59.500 Why?
00:07:00.760 Why?
00:07:01.380 Why would you use a word that's being used for something else?
00:07:05.680 Of all the letters,
00:07:07.540 you've got a lot of letter combinations.
00:07:10.100 You could make up a new word
00:07:12.680 that hadn't been used and abused
00:07:15.560 and burdened by other purposes.
00:07:20.260 How in the world can we not solve this?
00:07:24.260 Is it just me?
00:07:27.000 It honestly seems like the world's simplest problem,
00:07:30.580 and we can't figure it out.
00:07:32.480 All right.
00:07:33.340 We like to fight.
00:07:34.480 I'm going to give CNN more credit today.
00:07:40.180 They ran a major opinion piece
00:07:42.000 from an anti-abortion proponent.
00:07:47.680 Does that seem like a change in mission for CNN?
00:07:52.220 Because I'm not sure that I've, you know,
00:07:56.640 tracked this particular topic
00:07:58.300 and how they've handled it before,
00:08:00.300 but the thing I'm looking for
00:08:02.420 is that CNN has, at least the new boss,
00:08:06.020 has said that they're going to be more balanced.
00:08:09.440 Is this an example of that?
00:08:11.620 Because it surprised me.
00:08:13.480 It looked like something you would see
00:08:15.200 on Fox News' opinion site,
00:08:17.680 but it was on CNN's opinion site.
00:08:19.580 So, can we agree,
00:08:23.260 in the spirit of togetherness
00:08:26.700 and good intentions,
00:08:30.580 could we agree that CNN did this well
00:08:33.440 in the sense that they showed an opinion
00:08:36.440 that is less common for their base supporters?
00:08:42.660 I don't know.
00:08:43.220 I think you have to give this to them, I think.
00:08:46.540 Now, whether this helps their profitability,
00:08:50.480 that's a big question.
00:08:52.100 I'm not sure it will.
00:08:54.460 I'd love to say that I advise them to do this
00:08:57.960 from a business perspective,
00:09:00.720 but I don't know how they can make money
00:09:03.460 by being unbiased.
00:09:04.940 I honestly don't.
00:09:06.740 If anybody knew that,
00:09:08.100 they'd already be doing it.
00:09:10.020 But I hope it works out.
00:09:12.280 All right, here I'm going to solve
00:09:13.820 just about all the problems in the world,
00:09:15.380 if you don't mind.
00:09:17.120 See, we'll solve everything from
00:09:18.960 food shortages,
00:09:21.640 water shortages,
00:09:23.640 we're going to take on climate change,
00:09:30.280 you know, a lot of employment problems,
00:09:32.600 poverty,
00:09:34.200 and we're going to do it all
00:09:38.160 with one idea.
00:09:38.960 I've got one word for you.
00:09:44.180 Trenches.
00:09:46.300 Trenches.
00:09:48.140 Now, you know that Elon Musk,
00:09:50.420 and by the way,
00:09:51.480 I'm not sure if you know this,
00:09:52.560 but there was a rule change recently.
00:09:56.960 You know the old rule last year?
00:09:59.460 If there was anything you wanted to talk about,
00:10:02.020 it had to have a Joe Rogan connection.
00:10:04.220 That was sort of a 2021,
00:10:08.520 maybe early 2022 thing.
00:10:10.580 But the rule has changed now.
00:10:11.940 Everything has to have some kind of
00:10:13.200 an Elon Musk reference.
00:10:15.460 Or else it's just not worth saying.
00:10:17.920 I mean, what's the point?
00:10:19.840 So the Elon Musk reference for this story
00:10:22.680 is that you know he owns a company
00:10:24.640 called the Boring Company
00:10:26.240 that literally bores tunnels.
00:10:28.520 It's a tunnel-making giant device.
00:10:32.800 But here's the problem.
00:10:34.880 When you make a tunnel,
00:10:36.800 you need to reinforce it,
00:10:39.500 and there are a whole bunch
00:10:40.580 of other considerations.
00:10:43.420 But if you were to make a trench
00:10:45.120 and you intended to cover it,
00:10:50.600 it would be much easier.
00:10:52.020 So imagine this.
00:10:53.380 Imagine a gigantic device,
00:10:55.740 perhaps so gigantic
00:10:56.760 and even is powered by
00:10:58.080 a small nuclear module.
00:11:02.500 Because now, you know,
00:11:03.500 something like a nuclear submarine has.
00:11:05.920 Or a nuclear warship of some kind.
00:11:09.300 So imagine it's a gigantic
00:11:11.640 earth-moving trencher
00:11:14.160 with a gigantic nuclear engine
00:11:17.020 so it can just like build trenches like crazy.
00:11:19.820 And it just builds a trench
00:11:21.080 that's exactly the right dimension
00:11:24.140 that when you put mirrored walls on the side
00:11:27.920 and you cover it
00:11:29.240 with some kind of standardized,
00:11:31.560 you know, let's say 20-foot metal crossbars
00:11:35.920 with some kind of a plastic
00:11:38.240 or see-through hothouse top,
00:11:42.260 that you could create
00:11:43.760 these infinite indoor gardens
00:11:45.680 and also create some bricks
00:11:48.340 at the same time.
00:11:49.180 Because one of the things that Elon Musk,
00:11:51.380 you know, again,
00:11:52.240 this is a double Musk reference,
00:11:55.100 because you really can't understand anything
00:11:56.740 until you know how it relates
00:11:58.120 to something Elon Musk has said or done.
00:12:01.200 And so Elon Musk has said
00:12:02.340 that his tunnel-making company
00:12:05.240 will also have some kind of a brick-making company
00:12:08.760 so they can turn the extra dirt
00:12:10.940 into bricks on site.
00:12:13.020 So imagine that this thing
00:12:15.280 is a gigantic robotic tunnel or trencher.
00:12:20.200 It goes out where people need more food
00:12:22.760 and it just trenches the heck out of it
00:12:25.320 and puts it indoors.
00:12:26.240 Now, what benefits do you get
00:12:27.680 by moving it indoors?
00:12:30.540 Number one,
00:12:32.000 because it's mostly below the ground
00:12:34.100 and you could control, you know,
00:12:37.000 somewhat the top and other factors,
00:12:39.940 you could control the temperature
00:12:41.640 like nobody's business.
00:12:44.280 You could also have mirrored walls
00:12:46.200 such that a 20-foot trench
00:12:49.200 would always have sun from every direction
00:12:51.720 because there would be enough mirrors
00:12:54.400 to plants that no matter where the sun is,
00:12:57.440 it's getting sun.
00:13:00.360 So now you've controlled temperature,
00:13:02.440 you could control for bugs
00:13:03.840 because it's indoors,
00:13:05.400 you could control for water
00:13:07.240 because your evaporation,
00:13:09.620 I believe you could control for that, right?
00:13:11.640 and just recapture the evaporation.
00:13:14.620 So now you've got water, food,
00:13:16.720 of course it would create employment
00:13:17.980 because it's, you know,
00:13:18.940 you still need humans.
00:13:20.480 Maybe you have some robots
00:13:22.340 eventually harvesting stuff.
00:13:24.740 But you would solve everything
00:13:27.420 from fertilizers to what?
00:13:32.080 To whatever.
00:13:34.280 Mirrors would burn it up.
00:13:35.500 Now, mirrors would be adjustable
00:13:38.140 so that you would be able
00:13:40.220 to adjust the reflectivity of the mirrors
00:13:43.140 for whatever you were trying to accomplish.
00:13:46.280 So you would be able to take down
00:13:47.800 the reflectivity or take it up,
00:13:49.760 possibly with nets or some kind of screen,
00:13:53.380 maybe with technology, I don't know.
00:13:55.640 But now let's take it to the next level.
00:13:58.340 Imagine if this trenching device
00:14:00.640 was also an enormous robot
00:14:03.800 because, remember,
00:14:05.240 it's got a nuclear-powered engine
00:14:07.060 so it can do anything until it breaks.
00:14:10.480 And it's got big arms
00:14:12.200 and it's creating bricks out of the dirt
00:14:14.640 so it's building the walls as it goes
00:14:16.660 and reinforcing it.
00:14:17.620 But on the back of the machine as it goes,
00:14:20.720 it's also creating,
00:14:22.080 it's a big robot that's creating the roof.
00:14:25.180 And you just take that out there
00:14:27.940 and you turn it on
00:14:29.560 and it just creates infinite trenched farm stuff.
00:14:37.060 And it would, you know,
00:14:37.780 you'd probably have to add in your own irrigation
00:14:41.780 and some other stuff.
00:14:43.200 But it can do that too.
00:14:44.540 So you can imagine a giant robot
00:14:46.340 that effectively was building
00:14:48.920 a farming trench for any community.
00:14:55.120 You know, just keep on going.
00:14:57.100 And people could just build houses
00:14:58.620 near where the trench is.
00:15:00.960 You know, build a house and wait a year
00:15:02.600 and everybody's got food.
00:15:05.060 Now, could you do the same thing
00:15:07.800 with fish farms?
00:15:12.520 Is there a way to have a giant robot,
00:15:15.820 nuclear-powered, of course,
00:15:17.240 that a giant robot
00:15:19.600 that would make fish farms?
00:15:22.720 Because I don't think it costs much
00:15:24.480 to add the fish, you know,
00:15:28.200 the fish eggs, right?
00:15:30.380 So the product doesn't cost much.
00:15:32.220 It probably just costs a lot
00:15:33.320 to create the facility, I would imagine.
00:15:35.780 I would think that's where all the expenses, right?
00:15:38.260 So could you take the cost of that now?
00:15:41.620 Anyway, I think that you're going to see
00:15:43.400 stuff like that in the future.
00:15:44.260 Why can't we tell good news from bad news?
00:15:49.420 How can I make this story about the economy
00:15:51.800 more about Elon Musk?
00:15:55.260 Okay, I got it.
00:15:56.900 There's an Elon Musk quote
00:15:58.420 talking about the upcoming probable recession,
00:16:02.780 everybody's saying,
00:16:03.640 all the smart people are saying,
00:16:05.480 but the administration is saying,
00:16:07.120 not necessarily.
00:16:08.960 Not necessarily.
00:16:10.560 Not guaranteed.
00:16:12.280 But all the smart people
00:16:13.360 are saying it looks like a recession is coming.
00:16:16.660 And Elon Musk tweeted this.
00:16:20.080 This is actually a good thing.
00:16:22.640 It has been raining money on fools for too long.
00:16:26.300 Some bankruptcies need to happen.
00:16:28.500 Also, all the COVID stay-at-home stuff
00:16:30.960 has tricked people into thinking
00:16:32.400 that you don't actually need to work hard.
00:16:34.240 Rude Awakening inbound.
00:16:37.780 Now, I agree with every word of that.
00:16:42.060 Now, the reason that this seems
00:16:44.500 sort of shocking in newsmaking
00:16:46.540 is that he just takes the emotion out of it.
00:16:50.040 If you just take all the romanticism
00:16:52.140 out of everything,
00:16:54.780 here it is.
00:16:55.540 It is absolutely, necessarily true
00:16:59.940 that we had to suck some of the excess
00:17:04.060 out of the system.
00:17:06.060 So, we as humans actually can't tell the difference
00:17:09.800 between good news and bad news.
00:17:12.200 Mark Twain said something like that.
00:17:14.340 And here's the perfect example.
00:17:18.120 You remember what I told you?
00:17:19.280 The stock market was pulling back
00:17:21.260 and, you know, it looked like a,
00:17:24.500 you know, there was some bubbles
00:17:25.840 were going to pop.
00:17:27.540 And I told you,
00:17:29.040 same thing Elon Musk said.
00:17:30.860 You have to have that.
00:17:32.300 So, it's sort of like having dentistry.
00:17:35.280 Is it bad news that dentistry got invented?
00:17:39.240 Because it really hurts to go to the dentist.
00:17:41.400 No, it's good news.
00:17:42.740 It's good news.
00:17:43.780 Modern dentistry just got invented.
00:17:45.900 So, this is sort of like modern dentistry.
00:17:48.200 It's like the pain that your economy has to have,
00:17:52.220 but it has to have it.
00:17:53.920 If it's something you have to have,
00:17:56.240 in order to, basically,
00:17:58.160 nothing would work if you didn't have it.
00:18:00.300 If you didn't have the pullbacks,
00:18:02.100 the whole thing would, you know,
00:18:03.220 just, you know,
00:18:04.800 hurtle out of control.
00:18:07.480 So, we really can't tell the difference
00:18:09.440 between good news and bad news.
00:18:10.980 But, we can tell that it's going to hurt for a while.
00:18:14.380 Like, sometimes dentistry.
00:18:18.200 So, here's all the smart economists saying,
00:18:22.940 so, Larry Summers,
00:18:24.820 now, I warn you that economists are not great
00:18:27.960 at predicting the future.
00:18:30.480 It's also their only job.
00:18:35.280 That's one of the things that discouraged me about economics.
00:18:38.480 If you think about it,
00:18:40.240 the only point of understanding economics,
00:18:43.020 the only point,
00:18:44.880 is so you can predict what's going to happen next.
00:18:47.160 Do you know what economists can't do?
00:18:51.080 Eh, they're not really good
00:18:52.020 at predicting what happens next.
00:18:54.080 And it's their only point.
00:18:56.400 They don't have any other purpose.
00:18:58.560 And they can't do the thing that they exist to do.
00:19:01.780 Tell you what's going to happen next.
00:19:04.160 All right.
00:19:04.520 The best you can do is diversify.
00:19:07.680 Because, well, all right.
00:19:10.380 So, finance, of course,
00:19:11.460 is slightly different than economics.
00:19:13.020 But you get the point.
00:19:15.640 So, the economists are telling us
00:19:17.660 that you'd need something like a 5% jobless rate
00:19:20.260 for five years
00:19:21.260 to get past the inflation.
00:19:28.480 So, we're at 3.6% now,
00:19:31.980 which is sort of a really, really good point.
00:19:35.260 5% is not terrible.
00:19:42.140 Right?
00:19:43.180 Because right now,
00:19:44.220 we have tons of, you know,
00:19:46.260 help wanted signs.
00:19:47.280 Everywhere I go,
00:19:48.220 there's help wanted.
00:19:49.460 Still.
00:19:50.300 You know, even though we're anticipating
00:19:51.900 the recession.
00:19:53.320 I have a feeling
00:19:54.480 that 5% unemployment
00:19:59.300 won't feel like it might have
00:20:01.740 at some other time.
00:20:02.700 I feel like we're not going to notice.
00:20:06.240 It's almost like
00:20:07.200 what we have to absorb
00:20:08.760 in unemployment
00:20:11.420 will just be that
00:20:14.320 the people in, you know,
00:20:15.680 the hardest jobs
00:20:16.480 to find employment, I guess,
00:20:18.460 whatever that is
00:20:19.640 during that time,
00:20:20.640 will probably have to, you know,
00:20:22.060 work a little harder
00:20:22.980 or change professions.
00:20:25.700 But probably we'll adjust.
00:20:29.520 So, it feels like
00:20:30.340 the kind of problem
00:20:30.980 that will be crushing
00:20:32.200 for some number of people
00:20:33.680 but not necessarily
00:20:35.700 anybody you know.
00:20:38.120 I mean, it could be
00:20:38.700 the kind of problem
00:20:39.360 that's so, you know,
00:20:41.320 distributed.
00:20:42.100 The difference between
00:20:42.860 3.6% employment
00:20:44.940 and 5%
00:20:46.940 in a context
00:20:48.700 where there are plenty of signs
00:20:50.420 that say help needed
00:20:51.540 and things are breaking
00:20:53.640 because there aren't enough
00:20:54.600 people to work.
00:20:56.360 I don't know.
00:20:56.960 It just doesn't look like
00:20:59.420 this is a hard solution.
00:21:01.840 It's one of these things
00:21:02.840 where it looks impossible
00:21:04.300 at first
00:21:04.960 but then you say to yourself,
00:21:07.920 well, you know,
00:21:09.100 suppose we had
00:21:10.240 5% inflation
00:21:11.540 for five years.
00:21:14.480 That would take down
00:21:15.480 the debt quite a bit.
00:21:17.600 You know,
00:21:18.100 you wouldn't like it.
00:21:19.340 Suppose we had
00:21:20.000 5% unemployment
00:21:21.520 for five years.
00:21:23.000 Would you notice?
00:21:26.540 I don't know.
00:21:27.660 It's almost
00:21:28.420 small enough
00:21:30.400 that it might be
00:21:31.240 something most of you
00:21:32.420 didn't notice
00:21:33.160 but some of you
00:21:34.680 would be crushed by it
00:21:35.680 because you just
00:21:36.440 couldn't get another job.
00:21:38.820 I don't know.
00:21:39.440 I wonder about that.
00:21:41.460 Nuclear energy,
00:21:42.580 we've got a golden age
00:21:43.420 coming.
00:21:43.880 The company
00:21:44.520 NuScale
00:21:45.300 and you
00:21:46.040 scale.
00:21:47.780 So they've been
00:21:48.660 developing these
00:21:49.400 small modular
00:21:50.260 nuclear reactors.
00:21:51.840 I think the idea
00:21:52.660 is you build them
00:21:53.280 in a factory
00:21:53.900 and you build them
00:21:55.180 all the same way
00:21:55.940 so they're all approved
00:21:57.120 and you don't have
00:21:58.140 to go through
00:21:58.480 that lengthy approval
00:21:59.400 process.
00:22:00.980 And then you put them
00:22:01.580 on trucks
00:22:02.260 or however you
00:22:03.060 transport them,
00:22:04.000 whatever it takes
00:22:04.900 to move them.
00:22:06.520 And you get
00:22:08.300 lots of economic gains
00:22:10.040 and safety gains
00:22:11.260 and speed gains
00:22:14.060 and basically
00:22:14.800 every kind of gain
00:22:16.000 you would want
00:22:16.760 you would get
00:22:18.100 onto this model.
00:22:19.300 And the news is
00:22:20.080 that they're moving
00:22:20.720 to commercialize it now.
00:22:22.660 So they're
00:22:23.600 starting their
00:22:24.460 divisions that will
00:22:25.360 be selling
00:22:26.220 and supporting it.
00:22:27.820 So they're actually
00:22:28.700 moving out of R&D
00:22:30.100 into commercialization.
00:22:32.920 Now they're not
00:22:33.300 quite there
00:22:33.860 so maybe they're
00:22:35.180 a little bit ahead
00:22:35.820 of it but they need
00:22:36.520 to have the
00:22:37.540 infrastructure there
00:22:38.360 when they're ready.
00:22:39.360 So they must be
00:22:40.120 close enough
00:22:40.860 that they've got
00:22:42.060 to build the
00:22:42.500 infrastructure.
00:22:44.320 This is the sort
00:22:45.320 of story we're
00:22:45.940 hearing almost
00:22:46.460 every day now.
00:22:48.280 Almost every day
00:22:49.140 we're hearing
00:22:49.580 Rolls-Royce
00:22:51.340 is going to be
00:22:51.920 creating small
00:22:52.600 nuclear reactors.
00:22:54.500 We're hearing
00:22:55.000 that China is
00:22:56.000 developing some
00:22:56.820 new nuclear
00:22:57.820 reactor technology.
00:22:59.280 It's just on
00:23:00.900 fire right now.
00:23:02.980 And do you know
00:23:03.420 the reason why?
00:23:05.200 Because it's
00:23:05.960 literally the only
00:23:06.700 solution.
00:23:09.820 Climate change
00:23:10.980 as well as just
00:23:12.000 having enough
00:23:12.620 electricity without
00:23:13.700 polluting the world,
00:23:15.020 there's literally
00:23:15.760 only one solution.
00:23:18.040 And the
00:23:18.540 interesting thing
00:23:19.160 was that for a
00:23:22.020 long time it
00:23:23.260 hasn't been a
00:23:23.860 technical problem.
00:23:25.500 For a long time
00:23:26.400 it's been a
00:23:27.480 persuasion problem.
00:23:30.620 And I actually
00:23:31.960 feel pretty happy
00:23:32.900 that all of us
00:23:35.440 were on the right
00:23:36.100 side of history
00:23:36.720 on this.
00:23:37.900 And that many
00:23:39.120 of us participated.
00:23:40.340 I know I put a
00:23:41.600 lot of effort
00:23:42.200 into persuading
00:23:44.060 people to simply
00:23:45.100 understand that
00:23:45.760 that it's not
00:23:47.440 their grandfather's
00:23:48.460 nuclear energy
00:23:49.280 market yet.
00:23:51.180 The Schellenbergers,
00:23:52.780 Mark Schneider,
00:23:56.180 you know,
00:23:56.560 a number of
00:23:57.380 people who
00:23:58.420 were, you
00:23:59.380 know, hugely
00:23:59.900 helpful.
00:24:01.400 And Schellenberger
00:24:02.160 being probably
00:24:03.340 the top of that
00:24:04.020 pile.
00:24:05.720 So, just
00:24:07.300 think about it.
00:24:07.960 You were
00:24:08.460 probably, at
00:24:09.800 least in a
00:24:10.160 small part,
00:24:11.020 part of something
00:24:11.840 that really
00:24:12.500 changed civilization.
00:24:14.240 the persuasion
00:24:16.140 element of
00:24:16.940 moving to
00:24:17.420 nuclear.
00:24:19.440 All right.
00:24:22.660 Here are two
00:24:23.600 takes on
00:24:24.160 inflation
00:24:24.720 that are
00:24:27.620 opposites.
00:24:29.120 So, Ian
00:24:29.640 Bremmer tweeted
00:24:30.540 that there are
00:24:33.340 several governments,
00:24:34.380 he named them,
00:24:34.980 and they all have
00:24:35.500 high inflations.
00:24:36.840 So, the U.S.,
00:24:37.660 the U.K.,
00:24:38.260 Germany, and
00:24:38.860 Italy all have
00:24:39.600 high inflation.
00:24:40.100 And he said
00:24:41.680 that they have
00:24:42.140 different forms
00:24:42.820 of government,
00:24:43.540 and people argued,
00:24:44.520 oh, they're all
00:24:45.300 kind of leftists,
00:24:47.160 blah, blah, blah.
00:24:47.840 But the point was
00:24:48.860 that Ian Bremmer
00:24:50.240 gave four examples
00:24:51.940 of modern economies
00:24:53.380 that all have
00:24:54.580 high inflation.
00:24:56.300 So, as he says,
00:24:58.320 he finishes his tweet,
00:24:59.620 wild gas is not
00:25:00.700 the government's.
00:25:02.040 So, it's not
00:25:02.460 the form of government,
00:25:03.600 it's there's
00:25:04.420 something in the
00:25:04.980 world that's
00:25:06.560 causing inflation
00:25:07.320 in lots of places.
00:25:08.880 not to be
00:25:11.040 undone,
00:25:11.740 Sean Spicer
00:25:12.640 tweeted that
00:25:15.700 the following
00:25:16.300 countries,
00:25:18.160 so this is a
00:25:18.840 Sean Spicer tweet,
00:25:19.800 he said,
00:25:20.860 I think this is
00:25:23.600 a Biden quote,
00:25:25.320 if it's my fault,
00:25:26.540 Biden said,
00:25:27.380 why is it the
00:25:28.280 case that in
00:25:28.800 every other
00:25:29.260 major industrial
00:25:29.940 country in the
00:25:30.660 world that
00:25:31.140 inflation is higher?
00:25:33.260 And then Sean
00:25:33.860 Spicer points out
00:25:35.240 that the inflation
00:25:36.220 in the U.S.
00:25:36.740 is 8.6,
00:25:37.640 but Canada
00:25:39.200 has 6.8,
00:25:41.380 France is 5.2,
00:25:42.740 Switzerland is 2.9,
00:25:44.160 Japan 2.5,
00:25:45.580 Saudi Arabia 2.2,
00:25:47.560 China 2.1.
00:25:50.300 Now, who's right?
00:25:53.400 Because they both
00:25:54.300 gave their examples.
00:25:56.940 Ian Bremmer shows
00:25:57.880 that several major
00:25:58.820 industrial countries
00:25:59.760 have inflation,
00:26:01.040 and they're, you know,
00:26:01.600 different forms of
00:26:02.360 government, or at
00:26:03.120 least different people
00:26:03.940 running them.
00:26:04.560 So, that would
00:26:06.740 suggest there's
00:26:07.380 something international
00:26:08.440 happening, but yet
00:26:10.340 is it also true
00:26:12.040 that there are
00:26:13.700 several major
00:26:14.640 economies that
00:26:15.660 have much less
00:26:17.100 of a problem?
00:26:19.380 Yeah, and the
00:26:20.060 answer is both,
00:26:21.040 right?
00:26:21.500 They're probably
00:26:21.880 both true.
00:26:22.920 It's a mixed bag.
00:26:24.880 So, it's something
00:26:25.860 about what we've
00:26:26.560 done and something
00:26:27.660 about the world
00:26:28.400 at the same time.
00:26:31.180 So, that would
00:26:32.180 account for everything,
00:26:32.920 basically.
00:26:35.300 So, Rasmussen has
00:26:38.180 some new polling
00:26:39.240 on Biden.
00:26:40.560 Only 27% of likely
00:26:42.220 U.S. voters rate
00:26:43.600 Biden excellent or
00:26:44.600 good for handling
00:26:45.420 the economy.
00:26:46.940 27.
00:26:48.200 27.
00:26:49.480 That's about,
00:26:51.260 that's 27%.
00:26:52.220 That's almost a
00:26:53.000 quarter.
00:26:54.440 It's a little more
00:26:55.020 than a quarter,
00:26:55.660 actually.
00:26:56.020 Not almost.
00:26:56.720 It's a little more
00:26:57.200 than a quarter.
00:26:58.340 A quarter is like
00:26:58.980 25% of the public.
00:27:00.600 25.
00:27:01.700 25.
00:27:02.100 Huh.
00:27:05.260 All right.
00:27:05.700 Inside joke alert
00:27:06.620 for those of you
00:27:08.040 who do not understand
00:27:09.040 what's happening
00:27:09.580 right now.
00:27:10.780 This is an inside
00:27:11.660 joke.
00:27:13.140 The subject of
00:27:14.260 the inside joke
00:27:15.020 is that 25%
00:27:16.880 of the public
00:27:17.600 gets every
00:27:19.340 question wrong.
00:27:21.400 Doesn't matter
00:27:22.040 what the question
00:27:22.580 is.
00:27:23.500 Sometimes it's a
00:27:24.360 left-leaning question,
00:27:25.160 sometimes a right-leaning
00:27:25.920 question, but 25%
00:27:27.680 of the public
00:27:28.200 gets every question
00:27:29.780 wrong.
00:27:30.120 It's an exaggeration,
00:27:34.180 but it's a fun one.
00:27:36.260 And Biden's rating
00:27:39.320 is down from 32%
00:27:40.880 in December.
00:27:42.880 And 57%
00:27:44.220 now give Biden
00:27:45.420 a poor rating
00:27:46.020 for his handling
00:27:46.520 of the economy.
00:27:48.440 Now, that's not
00:27:49.460 really something
00:27:49.980 you would want
00:27:50.540 to run for
00:27:51.080 re-election on.
00:27:51.960 But who thinks
00:27:55.880 this is more
00:27:56.960 interesting?
00:27:58.060 This is also
00:27:58.640 Rasmussen.
00:27:59.460 And who's to blame?
00:28:01.540 So people were
00:28:02.280 polled on who's
00:28:03.000 to blame for
00:28:03.820 the rising fuel
00:28:05.940 costs.
00:28:06.680 Only 29% of
00:28:08.080 voters think it's
00:28:08.780 the oil companies
00:28:09.700 bear most
00:28:10.720 responsibility.
00:28:12.600 And only 11%
00:28:14.020 say Putin.
00:28:15.020 Huh.
00:28:15.180 So it seems
00:28:17.160 that the
00:28:19.320 Biden administration
00:28:20.620 play that it's
00:28:22.120 Putin,
00:28:22.840 only 11%
00:28:23.820 are buying
00:28:24.900 their propaganda.
00:28:26.220 So that means
00:28:26.760 even most of the
00:28:27.500 people who are
00:28:28.220 Democrats are
00:28:28.960 saying,
00:28:30.440 okay, that's
00:28:32.140 too far.
00:28:33.400 Let me get this
00:28:34.060 straight.
00:28:34.360 I have this
00:28:35.960 image in my
00:28:37.000 head of
00:28:37.880 millions and
00:28:38.580 millions of
00:28:39.220 Democrats
00:28:39.760 hearing Biden
00:28:40.960 blame inflation
00:28:42.120 on Putin and
00:28:43.080 saying, okay,
00:28:45.200 I'm starting to
00:28:45.900 see a pattern.
00:28:47.320 I'm starting to
00:28:47.940 see a pattern.
00:28:49.240 When Hillary
00:28:50.120 was in office,
00:28:50.940 she was going
00:28:51.400 after Putin.
00:28:53.240 When Trump
00:28:54.240 ran, Hillary
00:28:55.620 and her gang
00:28:56.980 blamed Trump's
00:28:59.920 election victory
00:29:00.900 on Putin.
00:29:01.900 Putin is
00:29:04.560 the one who
00:29:05.000 hacked everything
00:29:05.940 and Putin
00:29:07.160 and it's
00:29:09.180 all Putin,
00:29:09.820 isn't it?
00:29:11.280 Does it seem
00:29:12.060 to you that
00:29:13.400 the Democrats
00:29:13.960 have only one
00:29:14.900 play?
00:29:17.360 What would
00:29:18.480 the Democrats
00:29:19.040 be without
00:29:19.720 Putin?
00:29:22.120 They wouldn't
00:29:23.180 have anything,
00:29:24.260 would they?
00:29:25.600 Like, who
00:29:26.220 would they
00:29:26.520 blame if
00:29:27.100 they're not
00:29:27.460 blaming Putin
00:29:28.500 for something?
00:29:29.880 Because they
00:29:30.400 always get the
00:29:31.080 double dip.
00:29:33.220 I saw a video
00:29:34.860 of Max Boot,
00:29:37.180 Democrat,
00:29:38.180 saying that
00:29:39.140 the war in
00:29:39.720 Ukraine is
00:29:40.560 our war.
00:29:42.080 And the
00:29:42.380 reason it's
00:29:42.760 our war is
00:29:44.420 that the war
00:29:44.920 in Ukraine is
00:29:46.480 a war about
00:29:47.300 the international
00:29:48.340 rule of law.
00:29:50.580 And if we
00:29:51.100 let the rule
00:29:51.880 of law and
00:29:53.460 the international
00:29:54.620 order be
00:29:55.820 upset, that's
00:29:57.040 on us.
00:29:58.540 That's personal.
00:29:59.400 So we are
00:30:00.860 being attacked
00:30:01.540 by Russia.
00:30:02.620 Because when
00:30:03.060 Russia attacks
00:30:03.740 the international
00:30:04.420 order, well,
00:30:06.000 we're part of
00:30:06.540 that.
00:30:07.320 So really,
00:30:08.140 Russia has
00:30:08.640 attacked us,
00:30:09.560 so we're at
00:30:10.680 war with
00:30:11.080 Russia.
00:30:12.400 That's what
00:30:13.200 Max fucking
00:30:14.080 Boot said in
00:30:15.180 public.
00:30:16.540 Now,
00:30:17.620 why do the
00:30:19.600 Democrats have
00:30:20.260 such a hard
00:30:21.800 on about
00:30:22.340 Putin?
00:30:23.980 It's almost
00:30:26.320 like there's
00:30:26.820 something to
00:30:27.300 the story
00:30:27.840 that you
00:30:28.220 don't
00:30:28.420 understand.
00:30:29.940 Did Putin
00:30:31.220 steal somebody's
00:30:33.000 girlfriend or
00:30:33.860 something?
00:30:35.380 Like, I feel
00:30:36.360 like the
00:30:37.380 things that we
00:30:38.020 observe about
00:30:38.780 Russia are
00:30:39.520 plenty terrible.
00:30:41.260 I'll give you
00:30:41.960 that.
00:30:42.340 Plenty terrible.
00:30:44.160 But it feels
00:30:44.920 like there's
00:30:45.340 some other
00:30:46.240 thing going
00:30:46.960 on.
00:30:48.040 Like you
00:30:48.740 would almost
00:30:49.160 have to know
00:30:49.920 some backstory
00:30:51.520 to even
00:30:51.960 understand why
00:30:52.820 they have such
00:30:54.680 a Putin
00:30:55.520 obsession.
00:30:57.220 Doesn't it
00:30:57.720 feel personal?
00:30:58.860 It actually
00:30:59.360 just feels
00:30:59.840 personal on
00:31:00.460 some level.
00:31:01.540 Like the
00:31:02.160 Clintons and
00:31:02.820 Putin have
00:31:03.640 some kind
00:31:04.060 of thing
00:31:04.980 going on?
00:31:05.660 I don't
00:31:05.860 know.
00:31:06.940 What is it?
00:31:08.440 Did Bill
00:31:08.900 Clinton sleep
00:31:10.220 with Putin's
00:31:10.880 mistress?
00:31:12.340 Caused a
00:31:12.780 problem?
00:31:14.000 Just guessing?
00:31:14.820 I don't
00:31:15.020 know.
00:31:19.100 Here's an
00:31:19.720 update on
00:31:20.260 the 2,000
00:31:21.100 mules video.
00:31:22.820 So I
00:31:24.040 teasingly
00:31:24.880 tweeted that
00:31:26.160 if it turns
00:31:27.300 out that
00:31:27.720 all those
00:31:28.240 alleged 2,000
00:31:29.120 mules do
00:31:30.680 not show up
00:31:31.380 on any
00:31:31.760 videos,
00:31:33.180 the only
00:31:35.320 explanation I
00:31:36.200 can think
00:31:36.580 of is
00:31:36.960 invisibility
00:31:37.800 cloaks.
00:31:39.060 And if the
00:31:39.460 2,000 mules
00:31:40.420 have invisibility
00:31:42.400 cloaks,
00:31:43.640 whatever the
00:31:44.400 problem here
00:31:45.040 is, it's
00:31:46.180 way worse
00:31:46.860 than you
00:31:47.160 thought.
00:31:48.440 Because they've
00:31:49.260 got invisibility
00:31:50.180 cloaks.
00:31:50.680 so I'm
00:31:53.200 a little
00:31:53.540 worried that
00:31:54.720 this mule
00:31:55.240 story could
00:31:56.600 be even
00:31:57.080 bigger.
00:31:58.880 I mean,
00:31:59.320 we'd be
00:31:59.620 talking alien
00:32:00.440 invasion,
00:32:01.800 possibly we'd
00:32:03.320 be finding out
00:32:04.040 that we're
00:32:04.460 muggles,
00:32:05.900 and wouldn't
00:32:06.340 that suck?
00:32:07.580 You just
00:32:08.200 found out
00:32:08.620 you're a
00:32:08.960 muggle.
00:32:09.700 What?
00:32:10.740 You're a
00:32:11.320 muggle.
00:32:11.980 I don't
00:32:12.340 even know
00:32:12.580 what that
00:32:12.860 word means.
00:32:14.140 Watch a
00:32:14.620 movie, read
00:32:15.120 a book.
00:32:16.520 What's a
00:32:16.980 muggle?
00:32:17.220 So I
00:32:22.580 said that
00:32:23.040 because it's
00:32:24.120 been a
00:32:24.480 while since
00:32:24.920 we had an
00:32:25.380 update,
00:32:26.560 because
00:32:27.160 Dinesh
00:32:28.120 D'Souza,
00:32:29.120 the producer
00:32:29.840 of the
00:32:30.720 movie,
00:32:31.400 had promised
00:32:32.380 that they're
00:32:32.800 looking into
00:32:33.440 getting some
00:32:34.680 video evidence
00:32:35.640 or some
00:32:36.280 other
00:32:36.540 corroborating
00:32:37.600 evidence.
00:32:38.320 Because the
00:32:38.700 movie is
00:32:39.040 based on
00:32:39.480 the primary
00:32:40.700 evidence,
00:32:41.260 the GPS
00:32:42.140 information that
00:32:44.260 looks like
00:32:44.660 there were a
00:32:45.140 certain number
00:32:45.580 of people who
00:32:46.200 were next to
00:32:46.740 ballot boxes a
00:32:48.620 ridiculous number
00:32:49.720 of times.
00:32:50.940 More than
00:32:51.680 ten times in
00:32:52.820 some period,
00:32:54.300 and also went
00:32:55.160 between some
00:32:56.140 other specific
00:33:00.120 sites.
00:33:01.580 So the
00:33:03.260 data is very
00:33:03.940 compelling, or
00:33:04.800 let's say the
00:33:05.800 documentary is
00:33:06.660 very compelling.
00:33:08.160 If you watch
00:33:09.280 it without
00:33:10.660 context, you'd
00:33:12.240 say to
00:33:12.500 yourself,
00:33:13.520 if this GPS
00:33:15.300 data is
00:33:15.900 accurate,
00:33:16.740 they've
00:33:17.720 definitely got
00:33:18.420 some kind
00:33:19.220 of almost
00:33:20.520 smoking gun
00:33:21.540 situation here.
00:33:23.740 But most
00:33:25.260 of us would
00:33:25.760 say you
00:33:26.560 need just
00:33:27.560 like a
00:33:28.200 little more
00:33:28.760 because you're
00:33:30.840 still in the
00:33:31.380 realm of
00:33:31.820 something that
00:33:32.360 could be
00:33:32.900 explained by
00:33:33.480 something else.
00:33:34.940 The data is
00:33:35.840 wrong, or
00:33:36.760 there are
00:33:39.060 different ways
00:33:39.620 to analyze the
00:33:40.660 data.
00:33:40.980 there are
00:33:42.200 some people
00:33:42.640 whose job
00:33:43.220 it is, like
00:33:43.900 bicycle
00:33:44.400 messengers or
00:33:45.440 something, that
00:33:46.580 they always go
00:33:47.660 into the
00:33:48.080 same address.
00:33:50.600 It could be
00:33:51.140 like a bicycle
00:33:52.460 messenger who
00:33:53.380 went to the
00:33:54.140 same office
00:33:56.000 building ten
00:33:56.720 times.
00:33:57.800 And each
00:33:58.240 time he
00:33:58.820 leaned his
00:33:59.900 bicycle against
00:34:00.840 the bicycle
00:34:03.380 lock place
00:34:06.040 that's next
00:34:06.540 to the
00:34:07.040 you'd have
00:34:09.120 to have
00:34:09.360 lots of
00:34:09.780 millions and
00:34:10.300 millions of
00:34:10.680 people doing
00:34:11.180 millions and
00:34:11.680 millions of
00:34:12.020 things, but
00:34:13.340 you would end
00:34:14.540 up with lots
00:34:15.160 of coincidences
00:34:15.900 that you
00:34:16.300 didn't understand.
00:34:18.260 Now, let me
00:34:19.460 be clear.
00:34:20.320 I'm not saying
00:34:20.980 that that
00:34:21.360 example is a
00:34:22.200 good one.
00:34:23.600 That's not a
00:34:24.360 good example.
00:34:25.300 I'm just trying
00:34:25.900 to open your
00:34:26.660 mind to this
00:34:27.660 concept.
00:34:28.140 If you
00:34:29.240 can't imagine
00:34:30.220 another
00:34:30.960 explanation for
00:34:32.420 that GPS
00:34:33.040 data, there
00:34:35.420 are two
00:34:35.680 reasons for
00:34:36.240 that.
00:34:37.560 One would
00:34:38.700 be it's
00:34:39.100 exactly what
00:34:39.720 it looks
00:34:39.980 like.
00:34:40.720 It looks
00:34:41.100 like a
00:34:41.400 bunch of
00:34:41.700 mules were
00:34:42.760 delivering too
00:34:43.900 many ballots
00:34:44.380 to too many
00:34:44.940 ballot boxes,
00:34:45.940 and it's
00:34:46.300 suspicious.
00:34:47.380 That is one
00:34:47.980 explanation.
00:34:49.880 Do we
00:34:50.520 agree on
00:34:50.880 that?
00:34:51.800 The video
00:34:52.680 absolutely,
00:34:55.020 you know,
00:34:55.240 there were
00:34:55.520 the 2,000
00:34:57.000 mules that
00:34:57.820 movie,
00:34:59.640 absolutely is
00:35:00.660 consistent with
00:35:01.620 that interpretation.
00:35:03.440 But, is it
00:35:04.660 the only one?
00:35:06.400 Because the
00:35:06.960 other interpretation
00:35:07.760 is the one
00:35:08.240 that is most
00:35:09.000 often the one
00:35:10.700 in these
00:35:11.320 situations.
00:35:13.260 What is the
00:35:14.460 most often
00:35:15.240 explanation in
00:35:17.940 these situations?
00:35:20.140 And I'm
00:35:20.460 saying these
00:35:20.960 situations, not
00:35:21.780 about voting,
00:35:23.200 but about where
00:35:24.060 you've got some
00:35:24.700 data that suggests
00:35:25.720 something, just
00:35:26.700 in general.
00:35:28.540 Data that
00:35:29.200 suggests something
00:35:29.880 and you don't
00:35:30.340 know what the
00:35:30.680 answer is.
00:35:31.600 So you say,
00:35:32.040 well, there's
00:35:32.260 only one answer.
00:35:33.100 There's some
00:35:33.780 crime here.
00:35:34.880 What's the
00:35:35.440 most usual
00:35:36.600 thing that you
00:35:37.380 find out later?
00:35:39.640 There was
00:35:40.160 something you
00:35:40.580 didn't imagine.
00:35:42.720 Yeah.
00:35:43.240 It turns out
00:35:43.940 we're terrible
00:35:44.480 at imagining
00:35:45.080 stuff.
00:35:45.520 if you give
00:35:47.560 me that same
00:35:48.260 set of data
00:35:48.960 and you say,
00:35:50.800 all right, I'm
00:35:51.320 going to take
00:35:51.760 the most
00:35:52.820 creative, smart,
00:35:54.620 experienced people
00:35:55.480 I know, and I'm
00:35:56.800 going to put them
00:35:57.220 in a room, and
00:35:58.460 we're going to
00:35:58.840 brainstorm all
00:35:59.840 the ways that
00:36:00.520 that data could
00:36:01.260 look that way
00:36:02.020 that are
00:36:04.300 legitimate.
00:36:05.860 How many do
00:36:06.600 you think we'd
00:36:07.080 come up with?
00:36:08.080 I don't know.
00:36:09.460 Because I'm
00:36:11.060 not a room full
00:36:12.120 of the smartest,
00:36:12.920 most creative
00:36:13.400 person.
00:36:13.860 I'm just one
00:36:14.320 person.
00:36:15.160 But if you put
00:36:15.780 the smartest,
00:36:16.520 most creative
00:36:17.000 people in the
00:36:18.000 room, even
00:36:19.120 with Dinesh's
00:36:20.480 very strict
00:36:21.380 criteria for
00:36:22.220 the data, that
00:36:23.460 it had to be
00:36:23.840 the same box
00:36:24.720 within a certain
00:36:25.440 time period,
00:36:26.700 like, I think,
00:36:27.440 ten times,
00:36:29.040 which is a
00:36:29.660 ridiculously high
00:36:30.760 standard.
00:36:32.180 So I think
00:36:33.240 we'd agree that
00:36:34.040 the standard
00:36:35.280 feels high
00:36:35.940 enough.
00:36:36.960 I mean,
00:36:37.260 common sense
00:36:37.840 says that
00:36:38.840 seems like a
00:36:39.460 pretty good
00:36:39.820 standard.
00:36:41.340 But how
00:36:42.440 good is our
00:36:43.020 common sense?
00:36:44.420 Terrible.
00:36:45.500 Our common
00:36:45.920 sense is
00:36:46.320 terrible.
00:36:46.980 The most
00:36:47.540 likely explanation
00:36:48.720 for anything
00:36:49.640 you can't
00:36:50.280 explain is
00:36:52.280 not going
00:36:52.660 to be
00:36:52.860 Bigfoot.
00:36:55.340 It's not
00:36:56.120 going to be
00:36:57.380 an extraordinary,
00:37:00.440 complicated scheme
00:37:02.000 with no
00:37:02.840 witnesses coming
00:37:03.680 forward and no
00:37:04.480 whistleblowers.
00:37:05.740 Because that
00:37:06.360 would be sort
00:37:06.820 of an unusual
00:37:07.560 situation.
00:37:09.300 It's possible,
00:37:10.540 completely
00:37:11.160 consistent with
00:37:11.920 the data,
00:37:12.680 but it would
00:37:13.340 be unusual.
00:37:14.460 It would be
00:37:14.940 counter to
00:37:16.120 what you
00:37:16.420 would expect
00:37:16.920 in this
00:37:17.260 situation.
00:37:20.060 So,
00:37:20.660 would you
00:37:22.740 give me
00:37:23.120 this one
00:37:24.220 concession?
00:37:25.280 This is all
00:37:25.820 I'm going to
00:37:26.100 ask for.
00:37:27.680 I will agree
00:37:28.660 with you that
00:37:29.380 the 2000
00:37:30.620 mules video
00:37:31.560 and the
00:37:32.680 research they
00:37:33.320 did with the
00:37:33.760 GPS is
00:37:35.300 100%
00:37:36.220 consistent
00:37:36.840 with the
00:37:39.280 alleged
00:37:39.780 sketchy
00:37:40.560 behavior
00:37:41.000 that says
00:37:42.960 people were
00:37:43.460 stuffing ballot
00:37:44.120 boxes illegally.
00:37:47.500 Are we
00:37:48.140 good with
00:37:48.480 that?
00:37:49.740 That what it
00:37:50.340 shows is
00:37:50.880 completely
00:37:51.300 consistent with
00:37:51.980 that.
00:37:52.460 So,
00:37:52.840 certainly,
00:37:53.540 we would all
00:37:54.120 be interested
00:37:54.720 in finding out
00:37:55.540 if that's
00:37:55.960 really what's
00:37:56.500 happening.
00:37:57.600 So,
00:37:58.180 we're on the
00:37:58.540 same page on
00:37:59.080 that.
00:38:00.360 Right?
00:38:00.500 So,
00:38:00.940 we agree
00:38:01.340 more than
00:38:01.680 we disagree.
00:38:03.640 I'm just
00:38:04.240 saying that
00:38:04.740 you and I
00:38:05.260 would both
00:38:05.620 like to see
00:38:06.120 some video,
00:38:06.800 wouldn't we?
00:38:08.260 Wouldn't we?
00:38:09.240 Or at least
00:38:09.880 a mule or
00:38:11.360 two saying
00:38:12.780 that,
00:38:13.220 yeah,
00:38:13.700 you caught
00:38:15.100 me.
00:38:15.360 I'm the
00:38:15.680 one on
00:38:16.040 that GPS.
00:38:17.940 It would
00:38:18.840 only take
00:38:19.280 me one
00:38:20.140 convincing
00:38:21.100 whistleblower
00:38:21.980 who said,
00:38:23.500 yeah,
00:38:23.800 if you
00:38:24.200 looked at
00:38:24.620 which box
00:38:25.340 I went
00:38:25.740 to and
00:38:26.820 the times
00:38:27.260 I went
00:38:27.740 and you
00:38:28.260 look at
00:38:28.560 your data
00:38:29.040 on the
00:38:29.360 GPS,
00:38:29.900 that's me.
00:38:30.780 That's
00:38:31.260 actually my
00:38:31.800 phone.
00:38:32.720 I can
00:38:33.300 confirm
00:38:33.680 that.
00:38:36.040 Wouldn't
00:38:36.520 we all
00:38:36.820 want that?
00:38:37.840 I mean,
00:38:38.100 I think
00:38:38.460 Dinesh would
00:38:39.280 want that
00:38:39.680 too,
00:38:39.940 right?
00:38:40.580 So,
00:38:40.960 that's
00:38:41.100 something we
00:38:41.540 can all
00:38:41.900 agree on.
00:38:42.700 It hasn't
00:38:43.380 happened.
00:38:44.560 But the
00:38:45.020 only thing
00:38:45.380 I would
00:38:45.600 ask you
00:38:46.120 to modify
00:38:47.640 in your
00:38:48.040 thinking
00:38:48.400 is the
00:38:48.880 following.
00:38:50.360 If you
00:38:51.000 think that
00:38:51.520 because the
00:38:52.020 only thing
00:38:52.500 you can
00:38:52.960 imagine
00:38:53.760 is that
00:38:55.600 it was
00:38:56.000 mules,
00:38:57.780 just be
00:38:58.520 open to
00:38:59.040 the possibility
00:38:59.740 that your
00:39:02.900 imagination
00:39:03.360 is the
00:39:03.860 problem.
00:39:05.000 You just
00:39:05.320 can't
00:39:05.840 imagine
00:39:06.220 the other
00:39:06.940 possibilities.
00:39:09.440 That's
00:39:09.700 all.
00:39:11.940 Somebody's
00:39:12.500 saying
00:39:12.640 something
00:39:12.940 about
00:39:13.240 Yuma,
00:39:13.900 so there
00:39:14.200 may be,
00:39:14.600 is there
00:39:15.160 some
00:39:15.460 whistleblower
00:39:16.280 or somebody
00:39:17.060 got accused
00:39:17.600 of something
00:39:18.040 in Yuma?
00:39:19.160 Send me
00:39:19.720 that link
00:39:20.120 if there's
00:39:20.480 something I
00:39:20.860 missed.
00:39:21.120 all right.
00:39:26.380 Did you
00:39:26.640 hear about
00:39:27.040 that?
00:39:27.880 So Facebook
00:39:28.460 took down
00:39:29.060 a political
00:39:30.060 ad by a
00:39:30.860 Senate
00:39:31.060 candidate,
00:39:31.740 Eric
00:39:32.100 Greiton,
00:39:34.580 because it
00:39:35.160 showed him
00:39:35.720 and a bunch
00:39:37.380 of people
00:39:37.740 with weapons
00:39:38.920 going,
00:39:40.560 quote,
00:39:40.640 rhino
00:39:41.140 hunting.
00:39:41.940 Rhino as
00:39:42.680 in R-I-N-O,
00:39:44.160 as in
00:39:44.700 Republicans
00:39:46.160 in name
00:39:46.800 only,
00:39:47.320 as in
00:39:47.780 this is a
00:39:48.920 MAGA
00:39:49.300 supporter who
00:39:50.280 is saying
00:39:50.620 that he's
00:39:51.960 trying to
00:39:53.140 take down
00:39:53.700 the
00:39:54.020 Republicans,
00:39:55.460 the fellow
00:39:55.900 Republicans,
00:39:57.100 who are
00:39:57.600 not MAGA
00:39:58.900 enough.
00:40:00.880 Now,
00:40:01.580 somebody said
00:40:02.440 that I get
00:40:03.340 the wind
00:40:03.720 for predicting
00:40:05.760 that Republicans
00:40:06.560 would be
00:40:07.040 hunted if
00:40:07.620 Biden became
00:40:08.520 president.
00:40:09.320 Well,
00:40:09.700 this isn't
00:40:10.060 what I'm
00:40:10.400 talking about.
00:40:11.600 I wasn't
00:40:12.000 talking about
00:40:12.500 this.
00:40:14.660 No.
00:40:15.860 No.
00:40:16.600 I didn't
00:40:16.920 think Republicans
00:40:17.600 would hunt
00:40:18.020 each other.
00:40:18.500 You know,
00:40:21.020 trust me,
00:40:22.020 I love to
00:40:23.360 take credit
00:40:23.940 for anything
00:40:24.780 I get
00:40:25.160 right.
00:40:26.340 I think
00:40:26.780 you know
00:40:27.100 that.
00:40:28.440 But,
00:40:29.260 no,
00:40:29.600 I didn't
00:40:30.200 predict
00:40:30.540 Republicans
00:40:31.340 would hunt
00:40:31.860 each other.
00:40:32.500 That one
00:40:33.440 kind of,
00:40:34.320 I mean,
00:40:34.620 even in,
00:40:35.660 of course,
00:40:36.200 he was doing
00:40:36.600 it facetiously,
00:40:37.980 but it
00:40:39.080 is an
00:40:39.460 alarming
00:40:39.900 way to
00:40:42.280 make a
00:40:42.600 point.
00:40:43.860 But,
00:40:44.400 hey,
00:40:44.680 free speech.
00:40:45.200 I think
00:40:46.980 the way
00:40:47.280 Twitter handled
00:40:48.340 it was
00:40:48.680 better.
00:40:49.620 So,
00:40:49.820 Facebook
00:40:50.120 took it
00:40:50.580 down
00:40:50.940 because it
00:40:52.040 sort of
00:40:52.400 suggested
00:40:53.020 violence.
00:40:54.580 Not
00:40:55.060 suggested,
00:40:55.740 I mean,
00:40:56.620 even though
00:40:57.220 it was a
00:40:57.860 parody,
00:40:58.560 it wasn't
00:40:58.880 serious,
00:41:00.080 it suggested
00:41:00.940 it.
00:41:01.700 So,
00:41:01.980 let's go
00:41:02.780 with
00:41:02.920 suggesting.
00:41:04.340 But,
00:41:04.940 Twitter
00:41:05.200 handled it
00:41:06.120 better.
00:41:06.480 It put a
00:41:06.820 little warning
00:41:07.320 on it that
00:41:07.820 said,
00:41:08.580 you know,
00:41:08.880 this is
00:41:09.700 against our
00:41:10.280 standards,
00:41:11.980 but we
00:41:13.260 think it's
00:41:13.720 important that
00:41:14.220 you see it
00:41:14.640 because there's
00:41:15.080 like a
00:41:15.400 news value
00:41:16.260 to it
00:41:16.600 today.
00:41:20.800 All right.
00:41:24.220 Let me
00:41:24.840 ask you
00:41:25.160 this.
00:41:27.720 How would
00:41:28.500 any of
00:41:28.920 this 2020
00:41:29.700 and January
00:41:30.740 6th stuff
00:41:31.520 be different
00:41:32.680 if we
00:41:34.740 didn't have
00:41:35.360 lawyers?
00:41:37.200 Because think
00:41:37.760 of all the
00:41:38.180 lawyers that
00:41:38.800 caused this.
00:41:39.440 We had
00:41:39.660 first,
00:41:40.780 this is more
00:41:41.600 like allegedly
00:41:42.320 because I
00:41:42.800 don't know
00:41:43.120 what's true
00:41:43.640 and what's
00:41:43.960 not true.
00:41:44.960 But allegedly,
00:41:46.560 Democrat
00:41:47.120 lawyer Mark
00:41:47.900 Elias was
00:41:49.700 part of a
00:41:50.700 big effort
00:41:51.280 to,
00:41:52.160 you know,
00:41:53.340 change things
00:41:54.100 on the ground
00:41:54.760 within legal
00:41:55.720 bounds that
00:41:57.840 caused an
00:41:58.520 election result
00:41:59.660 that was
00:42:00.100 better for the
00:42:00.700 Democrats,
00:42:01.300 perhaps,
00:42:02.180 than people
00:42:02.700 expected.
00:42:04.060 Now,
00:42:04.360 that part's
00:42:04.780 true,
00:42:05.180 right?
00:42:05.760 Can you
00:42:06.280 fact check
00:42:06.760 me on
00:42:07.020 that?
00:42:07.780 That he
00:42:08.020 was part
00:42:08.420 of an
00:42:08.660 effort
00:42:08.980 within
00:42:10.300 completely
00:42:10.960 legal grounds,
00:42:12.060 apparently.
00:42:12.340 I mean,
00:42:13.480 he's not
00:42:13.880 going to
00:42:14.240 jail for
00:42:14.560 anything.
00:42:15.580 So,
00:42:16.560 but he
00:42:16.960 did some
00:42:17.500 rule changes
00:42:18.260 because of
00:42:18.860 the pandemic,
00:42:19.500 basically took
00:42:20.180 advantage and
00:42:21.820 created some
00:42:22.480 weaselly changes
00:42:24.000 that were good
00:42:24.920 for Democrats.
00:42:26.820 Now,
00:42:27.500 so that
00:42:27.920 caused,
00:42:28.880 number one,
00:42:29.500 a surprise
00:42:30.420 outcome.
00:42:31.500 So when a
00:42:32.020 Republican saw
00:42:32.740 the outcome,
00:42:34.580 they were like,
00:42:35.240 wait a minute,
00:42:35.760 this is not
00:42:36.360 normally what we
00:42:37.400 would expect,
00:42:38.040 so we
00:42:39.920 think there's
00:42:40.380 something sketchy
00:42:41.120 going on.
00:42:42.280 Now,
00:42:42.580 it could have
00:42:43.000 been that
00:42:44.640 whether you
00:42:45.140 like it or
00:42:45.720 not,
00:42:46.140 it was all
00:42:46.700 legal and
00:42:47.520 the Republicans
00:42:48.380 should have
00:42:48.880 done something
00:42:49.480 just as
00:42:49.940 clever,
00:42:50.420 but didn't.
00:42:51.240 So,
00:42:52.080 bad on
00:42:52.560 them.
00:42:54.120 So that's
00:42:54.820 one lawyer
00:42:55.280 thing.
00:42:55.960 Now we're
00:42:56.360 hearing that
00:42:57.020 Trump's
00:42:58.020 lawyer,
00:42:58.380 John Eastman,
00:42:59.780 was primarily
00:43:00.560 the person
00:43:01.220 who was
00:43:01.980 saying there
00:43:02.680 was a
00:43:03.480 completely
00:43:03.960 legal path
00:43:05.100 for Trump
00:43:06.520 to do
00:43:07.200 what he
00:43:07.460 was doing
00:43:07.900 around
00:43:08.340 January 6th,
00:43:10.180 which was
00:43:10.940 to support
00:43:11.720 some kind
00:43:12.700 of a delay
00:43:13.340 and maybe
00:43:14.160 fake electors
00:43:15.800 or something
00:43:16.320 like that.
00:43:17.140 So there
00:43:17.540 was primarily
00:43:18.100 one lawyer
00:43:19.220 close to
00:43:21.020 Trump who
00:43:21.560 was pushing
00:43:22.060 that interpretation.
00:43:24.760 So if that
00:43:25.640 one lawyer
00:43:26.260 had not said,
00:43:27.140 you know,
00:43:27.680 there is a
00:43:28.340 completely legal
00:43:29.160 way to do
00:43:29.660 this,
00:43:30.460 do you think
00:43:30.960 Trump would
00:43:32.880 have acted
00:43:33.340 the way he
00:43:33.840 acted?
00:43:35.100 Let me ask
00:43:35.600 you that.
00:43:36.560 Would Trump
00:43:37.220 have acted
00:43:37.780 the way he
00:43:38.280 acted if
00:43:39.760 not one
00:43:40.600 lawyer,
00:43:41.400 not one
00:43:42.400 lawyer,
00:43:43.220 told him it
00:43:43.760 would be
00:43:44.100 legal to
00:43:44.820 do so,
00:43:45.500 to act
00:43:45.800 the way
00:43:46.020 he acted?
00:43:47.380 I doubt
00:43:48.200 it.
00:43:49.520 Now,
00:43:50.180 I think
00:43:50.580 Trump can
00:43:51.040 overrule a
00:43:51.840 lawyer in
00:43:52.280 some situations
00:43:53.020 because he's
00:43:53.860 a high-end
00:43:54.980 executive.
00:43:55.620 They do
00:43:55.880 that and
00:43:56.820 they shouldn't
00:43:57.140 do that in
00:43:57.680 some situations.
00:43:59.580 But,
00:44:01.520 to me,
00:44:03.920 if you took
00:44:04.980 John Eastman
00:44:05.900 out of the
00:44:06.400 story,
00:44:07.640 a lot would
00:44:08.820 be different
00:44:09.340 about January
00:44:10.160 6th because
00:44:11.380 it was the
00:44:12.020 illusion that
00:44:12.880 there was
00:44:13.120 some kind
00:44:13.580 of totally
00:44:14.400 legal way
00:44:15.060 to do
00:44:15.360 this that
00:44:16.440 probably
00:44:17.220 allowed Trump
00:44:18.720 to say,
00:44:19.260 you know,
00:44:19.960 maybe we
00:44:20.760 should pause
00:44:21.240 and look
00:44:22.500 into this
00:44:22.960 because it
00:44:23.360 looks like
00:44:23.780 maybe there's
00:44:24.720 some legal
00:44:25.200 way to do
00:44:25.700 it.
00:44:25.880 So that's
00:44:27.620 two lawyers
00:44:28.360 that created
00:44:29.680 two things
00:44:30.380 that were
00:44:30.820 like the
00:44:31.260 fuel of
00:44:31.760 this thing.
00:44:32.740 And then
00:44:32.960 you have
00:44:33.220 Sidney
00:44:33.600 Powell
00:44:33.940 coming out
00:44:35.760 and promoting
00:44:36.740 the most
00:44:38.860 outrageous
00:44:39.460 parts,
00:44:40.900 you know,
00:44:41.120 the Venezuelan
00:44:42.740 generals and
00:44:43.900 the crazy
00:44:45.460 allegations against
00:44:46.920 Dominion,
00:44:48.620 the Kraken.
00:44:50.040 So she even
00:44:50.960 got me with
00:44:51.500 her Kraken.
00:44:52.280 At the time,
00:44:52.860 I thought to
00:44:53.240 myself,
00:44:53.600 you know,
00:44:54.300 there's no way
00:44:55.320 she'd say she
00:44:56.020 has the goods
00:44:56.920 unless she
00:44:58.160 has the goods.
00:45:00.380 So that's
00:45:01.220 on me.
00:45:01.640 That's like
00:45:01.940 one of the,
00:45:03.160 I feel like
00:45:04.180 that was a
00:45:04.660 learning experience
00:45:05.360 for me.
00:45:07.120 You know,
00:45:07.440 you can't
00:45:07.800 stop learning.
00:45:09.340 My learning
00:45:10.160 experience was
00:45:11.060 I said to
00:45:12.020 myself,
00:45:12.500 nobody with
00:45:13.180 her reputation,
00:45:14.480 which up to
00:45:15.020 that point
00:45:15.400 was very good.
00:45:17.220 Her reputation
00:45:17.920 was like a,
00:45:18.680 you know,
00:45:19.120 DC power
00:45:20.060 lawyer.
00:45:21.580 And I said,
00:45:22.420 nobody's going
00:45:22.920 to be like
00:45:23.320 the good
00:45:24.240 reputation
00:45:24.860 DC power
00:45:25.820 lawyer and
00:45:26.940 go say they
00:45:27.500 have the goods
00:45:28.280 unless they
00:45:29.660 have the goods.
00:45:30.380 and she
00:45:31.500 didn't have
00:45:31.880 the goods.
00:45:33.080 I did not
00:45:33.780 see that coming.
00:45:34.840 That was
00:45:35.360 surprising to
00:45:36.000 me.
00:45:36.720 All right,
00:45:37.060 now,
00:45:38.240 take those
00:45:39.440 three lawyers
00:45:40.280 out of the
00:45:40.740 story.
00:45:42.060 And now,
00:45:42.800 go further.
00:45:44.020 Go into
00:45:44.480 Congress and
00:45:45.780 remove from
00:45:46.800 Congress anybody
00:45:48.160 who's a lawyer
00:45:48.960 and leave
00:45:50.480 anybody who's
00:45:51.960 not.
00:45:54.160 Does any
00:45:55.140 of this look
00:45:55.680 the same?
00:45:56.140 In my
00:45:57.520 mind,
00:45:58.120 when you
00:45:58.540 elect lawyers,
00:45:59.860 you're
00:46:00.100 electing
00:46:00.500 people who
00:46:01.340 have a
00:46:02.180 hammer and
00:46:03.200 everything looks
00:46:03.820 like a nail.
00:46:05.060 What does a
00:46:06.000 lawyer do
00:46:06.700 when you've
00:46:08.380 got a political
00:46:09.220 problem or
00:46:10.200 something to
00:46:10.720 solve?
00:46:11.600 They cause a
00:46:12.520 hearing,
00:46:13.080 they call a
00:46:13.620 hearing,
00:46:14.680 and they do
00:46:15.380 something that
00:46:15.920 looks like a
00:46:16.500 mock trial,
00:46:17.840 and then they
00:46:18.660 litigate it in
00:46:19.360 front of the
00:46:19.780 public.
00:46:20.680 Why?
00:46:21.720 Because they're
00:46:22.500 lawyers.
00:46:22.920 Because they're
00:46:25.060 lawyers.
00:46:26.160 What would they
00:46:26.900 do if they
00:46:27.340 had been
00:46:27.620 engineers?
00:46:29.120 If Congress
00:46:30.000 had been filled
00:46:30.660 with only
00:46:31.340 people who
00:46:31.940 had worked
00:46:32.440 as engineers
00:46:33.160 before they
00:46:33.800 get elected,
00:46:35.020 do you think
00:46:35.500 that their
00:46:35.840 first instinct
00:46:36.560 would be,
00:46:37.020 you know
00:46:37.180 what we
00:46:37.440 need?
00:46:38.500 Some kind
00:46:39.060 of a
00:46:39.320 show trial.
00:46:41.800 Has any
00:46:42.500 group of
00:46:42.980 engineers ever
00:46:43.800 sat in a
00:46:44.240 room and
00:46:44.560 said,
00:46:45.700 our solution,
00:46:47.080 I'm pretty
00:46:47.580 sure,
00:46:48.780 would be to
00:46:49.380 have some
00:46:49.720 kind of a
00:46:50.160 public hearing
00:46:50.880 where we
00:46:52.100 litigate
00:46:52.620 this thing
00:46:53.120 which is
00:46:53.520 largely fake
00:46:54.120 news,
00:46:54.760 but they
00:46:55.380 won't
00:46:55.580 know.
00:46:57.360 No.
00:46:58.260 No.
00:46:59.320 The reason
00:47:00.200 we're in
00:47:00.580 the situation
00:47:01.220 we're in
00:47:01.800 is lawyers.
00:47:03.800 Lawyers in
00:47:04.480 Congress,
00:47:05.560 lawyers changing
00:47:06.440 the rules
00:47:06.980 about elections
00:47:07.660 which,
00:47:08.920 although totally
00:47:09.580 legally as
00:47:10.260 far as I
00:47:10.660 know,
00:47:11.880 cause a
00:47:12.660 certain reaction
00:47:13.340 in the
00:47:14.000 public.
00:47:15.120 John Eastman
00:47:15.820 made it
00:47:16.480 possible for
00:47:17.240 Trump to
00:47:18.000 follow his
00:47:19.960 worst instincts
00:47:20.820 in this
00:47:21.220 case,
00:47:21.800 maybe.
00:47:22.080 I mean,
00:47:22.820 I don't
00:47:23.060 know what
00:47:23.700 really
00:47:23.960 happened.
00:47:25.460 Then Sidney
00:47:25.960 Powell,
00:47:26.520 I mean,
00:47:26.860 was just
00:47:27.200 the match.
00:47:28.580 By the
00:47:28.860 time Sidney
00:47:29.360 Powell
00:47:29.580 came along,
00:47:30.420 you had
00:47:30.840 all the
00:47:31.320 gasoline,
00:47:32.660 and it
00:47:32.880 was all
00:47:33.160 caused by
00:47:33.680 lawyers.
00:47:34.920 And then
00:47:35.360 one more
00:47:35.920 lawyer came
00:47:36.520 and said,
00:47:37.080 Kraken,
00:47:38.440 I got the
00:47:39.160 Kraken,
00:47:39.640 here it is,
00:47:40.180 and then
00:47:40.480 just torched
00:47:41.460 the gas.
00:47:42.720 if you
00:47:46.000 asked me,
00:47:46.700 this is a
00:47:47.200 story about
00:47:47.740 lawyers,
00:47:49.260 that we're
00:47:50.620 acting as if
00:47:51.440 it's a story
00:47:52.040 about something
00:47:53.800 else.
00:47:55.180 And the
00:47:55.780 reason that
00:47:56.200 we're acting
00:47:56.580 like it's a
00:47:57.160 story about
00:47:57.640 something else
00:47:58.480 is because the
00:48:00.020 lawyers told
00:48:00.620 us to.
00:48:02.500 That's why.
00:48:03.940 The lawyers
00:48:04.560 have convinced
00:48:05.260 us that it's
00:48:06.560 not a story
00:48:07.200 about lawyers.
00:48:07.860 It's just a
00:48:08.920 lawyer fight.
00:48:10.240 It's just
00:48:10.680 lawyer on
00:48:11.320 lawyer,
00:48:11.960 and we're
00:48:12.380 just the
00:48:13.140 victims.
00:48:14.240 Basically,
00:48:15.000 we're the
00:48:15.940 innocent
00:48:16.420 bystanders
00:48:17.320 of a
00:48:18.280 giant
00:48:18.620 lawyer on
00:48:19.400 lawyer battle
00:48:20.240 that is
00:48:21.440 fought because
00:48:22.420 why do
00:48:23.460 lawyers fight?
00:48:25.500 Why do
00:48:25.980 lawyers have
00:48:27.040 conflict?
00:48:29.100 Because they're
00:48:30.120 trained to
00:48:31.240 have conflict.
00:48:33.120 Lawyers are
00:48:33.960 not trained to
00:48:34.600 give away
00:48:35.020 stuff.
00:48:36.300 They're trained
00:48:37.420 to fight.
00:48:39.260 Literally
00:48:39.780 trained to
00:48:40.500 fight.
00:48:41.260 What happens
00:48:42.000 when you put
00:48:42.600 the people
00:48:43.000 who are
00:48:43.320 trained for
00:48:44.280 conflict in
00:48:46.500 charge of
00:48:46.940 everything?
00:48:48.280 What the
00:48:48.960 fuck do you
00:48:49.640 think they're
00:48:50.040 going to do?
00:48:51.260 They're going
00:48:51.800 to do what
00:48:52.160 they've been
00:48:52.500 trained to do
00:48:53.020 all their
00:48:53.300 life.
00:48:54.300 Dispute shit.
00:48:56.380 What do you
00:48:56.820 do if you
00:48:57.460 put, let's
00:48:58.760 say, someone
00:49:01.500 who's more
00:49:01.940 of a deal
00:49:02.400 maker?
00:49:03.880 You're
00:49:04.360 probably going
00:49:04.820 to get
00:49:05.040 deals.
00:49:05.440 So, the
00:49:08.080 one year
00:49:08.900 that we
00:49:09.680 had, or
00:49:10.500 the one
00:49:10.960 term that
00:49:11.840 we had
00:49:12.120 Trump in
00:49:12.540 office, we
00:49:13.380 had a
00:49:13.640 deal maker
00:49:14.080 in office.
00:49:15.240 So, what
00:49:15.800 happened when
00:49:16.220 you put a
00:49:16.600 deal maker
00:49:17.020 in office?
00:49:17.880 You got
00:49:18.440 the Abraham
00:49:19.020 Accords, you
00:49:20.740 just made
00:49:21.520 a deal.
00:49:23.920 You get a
00:49:25.920 meeting with
00:49:26.420 North Korea
00:49:27.020 that completely
00:49:27.780 changed the
00:49:28.480 whole dynamic
00:49:29.160 there, because
00:49:30.800 Trump's not a
00:49:33.160 lawyer.
00:49:33.400 he's just
00:49:34.720 a guy who
00:49:35.300 saw another
00:49:35.760 guy.
00:49:37.360 And the
00:49:38.000 guy who
00:49:38.400 saw another
00:49:38.880 guy said,
00:49:39.640 well, why
00:49:39.960 don't we
00:49:40.220 meet and
00:49:41.340 stop being
00:49:41.880 enemies?
00:49:42.820 And then
00:49:43.160 they met, and
00:49:44.060 things got
00:49:45.080 weird, but
00:49:45.720 they got
00:49:46.540 less dangerous.
00:49:48.080 So, if
00:49:50.040 you only
00:49:51.100 hire hammers,
00:49:53.780 don't be
00:49:54.740 surprised when
00:49:55.460 they treat
00:49:55.820 everything like
00:49:56.400 a nail.
00:49:57.640 I mean, that's
00:49:58.080 sort of on
00:49:58.540 the public.
00:49:59.000 And I
00:50:00.100 would go so
00:50:00.640 far as to
00:50:01.120 say, maybe
00:50:02.680 it should be
00:50:03.340 illegal for
00:50:04.060 lawyers to
00:50:04.660 run for
00:50:04.980 office.
00:50:09.160 What about
00:50:09.880 that?
00:50:10.780 I heard
00:50:11.460 somebody said
00:50:12.000 it used to
00:50:12.400 be illegal,
00:50:13.340 but I don't
00:50:14.200 have any
00:50:14.660 confirmation that
00:50:15.620 that was ever
00:50:16.100 true.
00:50:16.740 Was that
00:50:17.120 ever legal or
00:50:18.380 ever illegal for
00:50:19.440 lawyers to run
00:50:20.120 for office?
00:50:21.640 Can somebody
00:50:22.240 confirm that?
00:50:24.540 It doesn't
00:50:25.280 sound right.
00:50:27.820 Yeah.
00:50:29.000 Yeah, John
00:50:29.960 Adams was a
00:50:30.620 lawyer.
00:50:31.440 True.
00:50:33.040 And John
00:50:33.880 Adams was
00:50:34.340 considered a
00:50:35.140 miserable person
00:50:36.040 to be around,
00:50:36.620 I think.
00:50:38.200 Probably I'm
00:50:39.060 related.
00:50:41.440 I mean, just
00:50:42.500 based on the
00:50:43.000 miserable part.
00:50:45.340 So, Lincoln
00:50:46.300 was a lawyer.
00:50:47.800 Well, look what
00:50:48.380 he did.
00:50:49.460 Caused a civil
00:50:50.180 war.
00:50:50.740 Just kidding.
00:50:51.620 Just kidding.
00:50:52.980 Just kidding.
00:50:55.860 Well, I
00:50:56.640 would argue
00:50:57.120 that the
00:50:58.240 lawyers of
00:50:58.980 old were
00:50:59.940 very different
00:51:00.620 than the
00:51:01.260 lawyers today.
00:51:03.840 And, you
00:51:04.900 know, I'm
00:51:05.180 not sure
00:51:05.560 that they
00:51:08.940 were as
00:51:09.520 conflict-driven
00:51:11.480 as maybe
00:51:12.260 they are
00:51:12.580 today.
00:51:12.980 Maybe they
00:51:13.360 were.
00:51:13.940 Could be.
00:51:15.280 Could be.
00:51:17.440 All right.
00:51:19.300 What else
00:51:19.960 is happening?
00:51:20.840 That's about
00:51:21.320 it.
00:51:23.000 So, here's
00:51:23.880 another one of
00:51:24.360 these.
00:51:24.900 We can't
00:51:25.420 tell what's
00:51:25.900 smart and
00:51:26.340 what's dumb.
00:51:26.860 Lithuania
00:51:29.280 some time
00:51:30.020 ago joined
00:51:30.760 NATO.
00:51:31.900 And, of
00:51:32.100 course, Lithuania
00:51:32.780 is on the
00:51:33.500 border there
00:51:34.400 with Russia.
00:51:36.380 And there
00:51:36.900 was some
00:51:37.260 little
00:51:37.600 stranded, if
00:51:39.140 you don't
00:51:39.400 know the
00:51:39.720 story, there
00:51:40.500 was a
00:51:40.740 little
00:51:40.900 stranded
00:51:41.540 part of
00:51:42.140 Russia that
00:51:43.720 was cut
00:51:44.280 off by what
00:51:45.180 is now
00:51:45.580 considered,
00:51:46.360 well, what
00:51:47.360 is Lithuania.
00:51:48.240 But there
00:51:49.560 was an
00:51:49.820 agreement that
00:51:50.900 I think it
00:51:51.320 was a
00:51:51.620 railway or
00:51:52.180 something, a
00:51:53.460 Russian railway
00:51:54.120 could connect
00:51:54.940 the two, and
00:51:56.320 Lithuania would
00:51:57.920 treat the
00:51:58.400 railway almost
00:52:00.000 as if it
00:52:00.740 were sovereign
00:52:01.500 Russian territory
00:52:02.500 because it
00:52:03.520 just made
00:52:03.880 everybody happy.
00:52:05.540 I mean, there
00:52:06.160 wasn't any
00:52:06.500 reason not
00:52:06.920 to.
00:52:08.540 Lithuania
00:52:09.060 didn't really
00:52:09.500 have any
00:52:09.820 reason to
00:52:10.280 cut Russia
00:52:10.800 off from
00:52:11.300 their own
00:52:12.140 territory.
00:52:13.540 And why
00:52:14.260 cause trouble?
00:52:14.900 So, you
00:52:15.780 know, they
00:52:16.540 just had a
00:52:17.040 little railroad
00:52:17.560 and everything
00:52:18.100 was fine.
00:52:18.940 But now we've
00:52:19.740 got this
00:52:20.060 Ukraine ugliness
00:52:21.060 and Lithuania
00:52:22.120 being part of
00:52:22.980 NATO and
00:52:23.680 influenced by
00:52:24.480 the West has
00:52:25.680 decided to
00:52:26.500 cut off that
00:52:27.940 access to
00:52:29.860 the Russian
00:52:30.260 territory.
00:52:32.200 Now, do you
00:52:33.100 know why they
00:52:33.740 thought they
00:52:34.160 could get away
00:52:34.640 with this without
00:52:35.200 creating any
00:52:37.320 blowback?
00:52:39.160 Because they're
00:52:40.080 in NATO.
00:52:41.620 So the fact
00:52:42.440 that Lithuania
00:52:43.180 is in NATO
00:52:44.120 caused them
00:52:45.740 to be a
00:52:46.400 little bit
00:52:46.740 more adventurous,
00:52:48.260 well, actually
00:52:48.660 a lot, than
00:52:50.260 they would
00:52:50.620 normally be.
00:52:52.680 So here's
00:52:53.540 the thing.
00:52:54.960 Did joining
00:52:55.600 NATO make
00:52:56.940 them more
00:52:57.420 safe or
00:52:58.000 less?
00:52:59.440 Because being
00:53:00.280 in NATO
00:53:00.820 caused, I
00:53:02.240 would assume,
00:53:03.260 NATO and
00:53:03.980 others associated
00:53:04.960 with NATO,
00:53:05.800 to influence
00:53:06.520 Lithuania to
00:53:07.360 do this
00:53:07.780 insanely
00:53:08.400 provocative
00:53:09.060 thing with
00:53:10.960 their neighbouring
00:53:11.660 country.
00:53:12.140 Insanely
00:53:12.700 provocative.
00:53:14.120 It's crazy.
00:53:15.580 It's so
00:53:15.960 provocative.
00:53:18.500 And I don't
00:53:19.360 think they
00:53:19.680 would have
00:53:19.920 done it if
00:53:20.560 they weren't
00:53:20.860 in NATO.
00:53:21.820 Now, do you
00:53:22.160 think Russia
00:53:22.600 is going to
00:53:22.920 let it stand?
00:53:24.680 Or are they
00:53:25.500 going to, or
00:53:26.520 is this the
00:53:27.040 provocation for
00:53:29.300 Russia to
00:53:31.000 attack something
00:53:32.400 that's part of
00:53:33.100 NATO so that
00:53:33.980 NATO can be
00:53:34.800 activated by a
00:53:36.520 technicality
00:53:37.400 because of
00:53:40.000 lawyers?
00:53:40.400 Yeah.
00:53:43.120 Don't you
00:53:43.540 think lawyers
00:53:44.160 get involved
00:53:44.860 when deciding
00:53:45.640 if NATO
00:53:46.940 has been,
00:53:47.840 let's say,
00:53:49.340 activated?
00:53:51.000 What do you
00:53:51.680 think?
00:53:52.220 Now, first
00:53:52.980 it would be
00:53:53.380 generals,
00:53:55.140 right?
00:53:56.260 I mean, because
00:53:56.840 you need the
00:53:57.360 immediate response.
00:53:58.540 They're not
00:53:58.920 going to run
00:53:59.220 things through
00:53:59.820 lawyers on
00:54:00.980 day one.
00:54:02.020 So, on
00:54:02.960 day one, it's
00:54:03.640 going to be the
00:54:04.060 generals.
00:54:04.940 Okay, what do
00:54:05.440 you do?
00:54:06.460 But on day
00:54:07.100 two, the
00:54:07.640 lawyers are
00:54:08.120 going to say,
00:54:08.560 we're kind of
00:54:10.920 watching this,
00:54:12.940 and, yeah, I
00:54:15.300 think this
00:54:15.780 technically is a
00:54:16.780 NATO violation,
00:54:17.740 so go ahead and
00:54:18.520 activate NATO.
00:54:20.100 Don't you think
00:54:20.780 lawyers are part
00:54:22.900 of the decision?
00:54:23.900 I don't know the
00:54:24.500 answer to that.
00:54:24.980 I'm speaking of
00:54:25.760 complete ignorance.
00:54:27.740 But I imagine,
00:54:29.540 I would imagine,
00:54:30.760 if you're talking
00:54:31.420 about a NATO
00:54:33.660 document,
00:54:35.720 who is it
00:54:36.340 who interprets
00:54:37.140 documents?
00:54:39.660 It's lawyers,
00:54:40.340 right?
00:54:41.000 So lawyers would
00:54:41.940 be the ones
00:54:42.400 interpreting whether
00:54:43.220 the rules were
00:54:43.920 being followed
00:54:44.560 in invoking
00:54:46.180 NATO or not.
00:54:48.840 Now, you've
00:54:50.880 heard Max
00:54:51.600 Boot say that
00:54:52.540 this is our
00:54:53.360 war, and
00:54:55.800 you know that
00:54:56.500 the military
00:54:58.860 industrial complex
00:55:00.060 would like it
00:55:00.660 to be even
00:55:02.920 larger.
00:55:03.340 So if you
00:55:05.580 follow the
00:55:06.100 money, it
00:55:07.800 seems that
00:55:08.260 Democrats and
00:55:09.120 the industrial
00:55:09.580 military complex
00:55:10.820 want more war,
00:55:13.320 and now we
00:55:13.960 see a
00:55:14.720 provocation for
00:55:16.100 a technical
00:55:17.080 activation of
00:55:18.940 NATO that
00:55:20.940 doesn't have to
00:55:21.620 happen.
00:55:22.440 It's a completely
00:55:23.180 optional thing.
00:55:25.020 Does it not
00:55:25.880 look like we
00:55:26.680 are goading
00:55:27.240 Putin into
00:55:28.140 activating NATO
00:55:29.140 so that we can
00:55:30.160 enlarge the
00:55:30.820 scope of the
00:55:31.280 war?
00:55:31.500 I mean, I'm
00:55:36.200 not a
00:55:36.760 sophisticated
00:55:37.360 observer of
00:55:39.100 any of this.
00:55:40.680 Like, what do
00:55:41.660 I know about
00:55:42.140 NATO and
00:55:42.920 international
00:55:44.120 relations?
00:55:44.920 I don't know
00:55:45.220 anything.
00:55:45.880 But on the
00:55:46.640 surface, that's
00:55:48.260 exactly what it
00:55:48.960 looks like,
00:55:49.440 right?
00:55:51.100 Now, I'm
00:55:51.820 open to, again,
00:55:52.960 to be consistent
00:55:54.040 with my own
00:55:54.680 philosophy.
00:55:55.460 I'm open that I
00:55:56.380 can't imagine
00:55:57.080 some other
00:55:57.620 explanation.
00:55:58.180 But at the
00:55:59.720 moment, I'm
00:56:00.600 just telling
00:56:00.980 you, I
00:56:01.320 can't imagine
00:56:03.140 another
00:56:03.760 explanation.
00:56:04.940 It looks like
00:56:05.780 the military
00:56:07.420 industrial complex
00:56:08.640 is causing the
00:56:10.560 United States
00:56:11.280 to activate
00:56:12.340 NATO to
00:56:13.520 improve the
00:56:14.160 profits of
00:56:15.580 one industry.
00:56:17.520 I'm not saying
00:56:18.580 that's the only
00:56:19.160 thing happening.
00:56:20.560 I'm saying I
00:56:21.760 don't see another
00:56:22.580 interpretation.
00:56:24.020 It's not obvious
00:56:24.980 to me.
00:56:25.800 So if there is
00:56:26.460 another
00:56:26.740 interpretation,
00:56:28.140 I'd be open
00:56:28.720 to it.
00:56:30.260 But if it
00:56:31.180 quacks like a
00:56:31.920 duck, sometimes
00:56:33.600 it's not a
00:56:34.260 duck, but
00:56:34.840 sometimes it's
00:56:35.680 a duck
00:56:36.000 call.
00:56:38.600 Sometimes if
00:56:39.280 it quacks like
00:56:39.880 a duck, it's
00:56:40.400 a duck
00:56:40.700 hunter.
00:56:42.020 Nobody tells
00:56:42.640 you that, do
00:56:43.160 they?
00:56:43.640 Yeah, yeah.
00:56:44.700 They tell you
00:56:45.200 if it quacks
00:56:45.680 like a duck,
00:56:47.060 well, they also
00:56:47.620 do the looks
00:56:48.340 like a duck.
00:56:49.240 Sometimes it's
00:56:49.900 a decoy
00:56:50.400 with a duck
00:56:51.740 call.
00:56:53.720 So there.
00:56:56.460 And now,
00:56:59.880 having given
00:57:01.280 you these
00:57:01.980 thoughts, I
00:57:04.580 would like to
00:57:05.240 point out the
00:57:06.580 following.
00:57:07.360 I'm very bad
00:57:08.220 at marketing
00:57:09.040 because it,
00:57:12.040 weirdly, even
00:57:12.940 though persuasion
00:57:13.820 is my primary
00:57:15.740 focus lately,
00:57:18.380 it feels
00:57:19.900 manipulative
00:57:20.560 to market.
00:57:21.840 I feel like the
00:57:22.520 most you should
00:57:23.340 do is let
00:57:23.880 people know
00:57:24.360 what's out
00:57:24.720 there, and
00:57:25.080 if they want
00:57:26.320 it, they
00:57:27.740 go get it.
00:57:28.640 And then
00:57:29.020 everybody's
00:57:29.460 happy.
00:57:30.040 I hate to
00:57:30.580 overmarket it
00:57:31.300 because then
00:57:31.600 people get
00:57:32.120 things that
00:57:32.600 they don't
00:57:34.520 like.
00:57:36.780 But I feel
00:57:37.760 it's incumbent
00:57:38.320 upon you to
00:57:39.180 tell you the
00:57:39.560 following.
00:57:40.600 The subscribers
00:57:41.560 to the
00:57:42.140 Locals
00:57:42.520 platform,
00:57:44.060 Locals.com,
00:57:46.260 or no,
00:57:46.960 well, I think
00:57:47.380 it's on
00:57:47.760 Locals.com
00:57:48.560 where you
00:57:48.840 find the
00:57:49.320 page,
00:57:50.400 on Locals.
00:57:51.520 But the
00:57:52.200 subscribers there
00:57:53.020 who see my
00:57:54.080 other content
00:57:54.760 have accessed
00:57:55.620 over 200
00:57:56.960 micro-lessons
00:57:58.160 that would
00:57:59.500 give you
00:57:59.960 either 200
00:58:01.300 life hacks
00:58:03.240 that would
00:58:04.580 make you
00:58:05.000 more effective
00:58:05.580 in life or
00:58:06.180 happier.
00:58:08.400 And you
00:58:09.020 can learn
00:58:09.360 all of them
00:58:09.980 because they're
00:58:10.660 so small,
00:58:11.760 they're little
00:58:12.080 videos,
00:58:12.660 they're like
00:58:12.960 two to four
00:58:13.840 minutes.
00:58:15.220 So in a
00:58:16.060 period of
00:58:16.640 just 10
00:58:18.440 hours,
00:58:18.900 you could
00:58:20.800 learn 200
00:58:21.660 reframes or
00:58:23.560 life hacks
00:58:24.260 that by
00:58:25.300 their design
00:58:25.920 are big
00:58:26.300 ones,
00:58:27.260 like they're
00:58:27.620 not trivial.
00:58:28.500 I'm not
00:58:28.900 telling you
00:58:29.300 how to make
00:58:30.860 sure the
00:58:31.320 mustard in
00:58:32.000 your refrigerator
00:58:33.200 lasts longer.
00:58:34.300 I'm not
00:58:34.620 talking about
00:58:35.040 that.
00:58:36.060 I'm talking
00:58:36.500 about,
00:58:36.820 like,
00:58:37.260 happiness.
00:58:38.920 I'm talking
00:58:39.620 about health.
00:58:42.180 I'm talking
00:58:42.660 about how
00:58:44.200 to have a
00:58:44.840 better
00:58:44.980 relationship,
00:58:46.680 how to
00:58:47.100 talk to
00:58:47.540 strangers,
00:58:49.000 how to
00:58:49.300 be successful,
00:58:50.160 how to
00:58:50.360 build a
00:58:50.700 talent stack.
00:58:51.840 I'm talking
00:58:52.360 about the
00:58:52.860 most basic
00:58:54.120 things you
00:58:54.660 need to be
00:58:55.120 happy.
00:58:56.240 And in,
00:58:57.160 I'd say,
00:58:57.640 10 to 15
00:58:58.340 hours,
00:58:59.520 you could
00:59:00.040 consume them
00:59:02.060 while you're
00:59:02.620 on the
00:59:02.900 toilet.
00:59:04.200 Literally.
00:59:05.960 They're so
00:59:06.620 small,
00:59:07.180 a little video
00:59:07.760 thing,
00:59:08.140 you just put
00:59:08.560 the audio
00:59:09.000 in your ear,
00:59:10.060 just listen
00:59:10.620 to them
00:59:10.940 one at a
00:59:11.340 time.
00:59:12.340 And imagine
00:59:12.880 at the end
00:59:13.600 of a year
00:59:14.100 that you
00:59:15.780 had consumed
00:59:16.460 over 200
00:59:17.480 major life
00:59:19.620 improvement
00:59:20.120 hacks,
00:59:21.040 major ones.
00:59:22.360 None of
00:59:22.760 them are
00:59:23.000 small.
00:59:24.000 I mean,
00:59:24.240 the smallest
00:59:24.660 one would
00:59:25.160 be how
00:59:26.180 to be a
00:59:26.560 better
00:59:26.760 writer.
00:59:29.140 You wouldn't
00:59:29.880 want to be a
00:59:30.340 better writer
00:59:31.020 in five minutes
00:59:33.020 because it does
00:59:34.320 deliver that.
00:59:35.000 It actually
00:59:35.340 delivers that.
00:59:36.060 You would be
00:59:36.480 absolutely a
00:59:37.200 better writer
00:59:37.620 in five minutes
00:59:39.280 and forever.
00:59:41.880 So that's the
00:59:42.800 sort of
00:59:43.160 improvement you
00:59:44.020 could get.
00:59:44.940 Now,
00:59:45.620 I feel
00:59:47.320 like icky
00:59:49.320 when I do
00:59:49.860 marketing like
00:59:50.580 this.
00:59:51.480 But on the
00:59:51.960 other hand,
00:59:52.460 I would feel
00:59:52.920 icky if you
00:59:53.700 didn't know
00:59:54.080 it was there.
00:59:56.260 Because imagine,
00:59:58.480 and if you
00:59:59.960 don't mind,
01:00:00.780 those of you
01:00:01.560 who have seen
01:00:02.120 the micro
01:00:02.500 lessons or at
01:00:03.200 least have been
01:00:03.680 exposed to the
01:00:04.420 same material,
01:00:05.780 can you tell
01:00:06.420 the other people
01:00:07.120 if it made a
01:00:08.060 difference in your
01:00:08.640 life?
01:00:09.680 So some of you,
01:00:10.740 most of you
01:00:11.160 are watching or
01:00:11.740 not familiar with
01:00:12.480 it.
01:00:13.240 Now, most of
01:00:13.760 you, oh, I
01:00:16.340 wonder if I
01:00:16.740 could do this.
01:00:18.040 So the
01:00:18.620 locals platform,
01:00:20.400 I'm going to
01:00:20.740 try something.
01:00:21.360 I think this
01:00:21.800 works.
01:00:23.340 The locals
01:00:24.000 platform is
01:00:24.700 telling you
01:00:25.500 how much
01:00:26.560 benefit they've
01:00:27.160 gotten.
01:00:28.160 And I'm going
01:00:28.560 to turn you
01:00:29.400 toward each
01:00:30.920 other.
01:00:32.680 Let's see if
01:00:33.140 the YouTube
01:00:33.600 people can
01:00:36.280 see the
01:00:36.720 comments from
01:00:37.860 the locals
01:00:38.640 people.
01:00:39.520 I think, oh,
01:00:39.880 I think that's
01:00:40.320 working.
01:00:41.500 Or is it
01:00:42.120 backwards?
01:00:42.920 Is it
01:00:43.180 writing
01:00:43.400 backwards?
01:00:44.600 Because my
01:00:45.200 screen is, I've
01:00:46.400 got backwards
01:00:46.940 screens, so.
01:00:49.940 All right.
01:00:50.780 So you can
01:00:52.460 see what the,
01:00:55.740 okay.
01:00:56.920 So on
01:00:57.560 locals, just
01:00:58.480 tell them if
01:00:59.060 you think the
01:00:59.640 micro lessons
01:01:00.340 have had a
01:01:01.660 substantial impact
01:01:03.720 in your life.
01:01:05.060 And an
01:01:05.780 emphasis on
01:01:06.360 substantial.
01:01:07.320 Like, I'm
01:01:07.640 not talking
01:01:08.040 about how to
01:01:08.920 open jars.
01:01:09.520 numbers.
01:01:11.660 All right.
01:01:12.480 So you
01:01:13.020 get the
01:01:13.280 idea.
01:01:16.120 Thank you.
01:01:18.200 Thank you for
01:01:18.800 doing that.
01:01:19.360 By the way,
01:01:19.780 this is a
01:01:20.220 technique I
01:01:20.860 borrowed from
01:01:21.580 Tony Snow
01:01:22.620 from the
01:01:24.240 Dale Carnegie
01:01:26.000 school.
01:01:27.340 Dale Carnegie
01:01:27.880 just has his
01:01:28.600 students sell
01:01:29.240 the program.
01:01:31.040 He doesn't do
01:01:31.760 it himself.
01:01:32.580 He just has
01:01:33.160 the students
01:01:33.640 do it.
01:01:33.960 Because once
01:01:34.340 you see the
01:01:34.800 students sell
01:01:35.480 it, you
01:01:35.700 go, okay,
01:01:36.480 I've got to
01:01:36.760 have that.
01:01:38.680 It's a
01:01:39.200 completely
01:01:39.520 different level
01:01:40.320 of sales.
01:01:41.640 So I just
01:01:42.140 showed you
01:01:42.480 what the
01:01:42.760 locals people
01:01:43.340 are getting
01:01:43.680 out of it,
01:01:44.240 so you can
01:01:44.760 judge for
01:01:45.140 yourself.
01:01:46.240 All right,
01:01:46.560 that is all
01:01:47.120 for today.
01:01:50.920 I think
01:01:51.680 you'd agree
01:01:52.220 this is the
01:01:53.940 most valuable
01:01:54.620 thing that's
01:01:55.120 happened to
01:01:55.500 you so far
01:01:56.060 today.
01:01:57.300 Probably the
01:01:58.000 best thing.
01:01:59.200 And maybe
01:01:59.780 one of the
01:02:00.080 best things
01:02:00.480 that's ever
01:02:00.840 happened to
01:02:01.220 civilization,
01:02:01.760 because those
01:02:02.420 micro-lessons
01:02:03.160 are going
01:02:03.460 to go from
01:02:03.980 me to
01:02:04.900 locals to
01:02:05.580 you to
01:02:06.640 the world,
01:02:07.340 and I
01:02:07.980 think everything's
01:02:08.660 going to be
01:02:08.920 different in
01:02:09.460 about a year.
01:02:11.120 That's my
01:02:11.800 prediction.
01:02:13.200 So go
01:02:14.380 forward today
01:02:15.060 and have an
01:02:15.560 amazing day.
01:02:17.760 It's a good
01:02:18.300 start.
01:02:19.620 Don't blow it.
01:02:20.940 Bye for now.
