Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1781 Scott Adams： The News Is Perfectly Constructed Today. Come Savor It With Me

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, 1.00

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? 0.91

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 0.73

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, 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.98

00:28:55.620 and her gang 1.00

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 0.96

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 0.88

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 0.59

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? 0.97

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 0.79

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, 1.00

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 0.82

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 0.93

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 0.99

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 0.97

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 1.00

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 0.97

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 0.93

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 0.93

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, 0.91

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 0.72

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 1.00

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 1.00

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.
