00:00:00.000 It's the other way around, but I have a little technical problem.
00:00:02.560 So you're going to watch me turn on the locals platform.
00:00:06.180 Usually they're on first watching it the other way.
00:00:12.280 Hold on.
00:00:13.340 This is me adding a title with voice texting.
00:00:17.520 Coffee with Scott Adams, July 11th, 2022.
00:00:25.400 Come join me to celebrate 7-Eleven.
00:00:30.000 Period.
00:00:37.480 And we're live.
00:00:46.200 Okay.
00:00:52.020 So this morning I woke up extra, extra early to make sure I wouldn't be late.
00:01:00.000 It didn't really work.
00:01:02.780 It didn't work out at all, it turns out.
00:01:06.700 But how would you like to reset and make this turn out just right?
00:01:13.620 There's a part that I have to go back to and redo.
00:01:17.000 It goes like this.
00:01:18.020 There we go.
00:01:28.080 There we go.
00:01:29.200 Good morning, everybody.
00:01:30.860 And welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:01:33.800 The finest thing that's ever happened to you in your entire life.
00:01:38.300 Highlight of civilization itself.
00:01:40.140 And we're going to take it up a level.
00:01:41.400 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of Tegra Chelsea Stein, a canteen drug class,
00:01:46.460 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:48.640 I like coffee.
00:01:52.620 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:01:54.920 It's the top of me at the end of the day.
00:01:56.120 I think it makes everything better.
00:01:58.420 Go.
00:01:58.660 Ah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:04.960 That's good.
00:02:05.760 That's good.
00:02:07.500 Well, how many of you saw my doorbell video of my DoorDash delivery guy stealing a package
00:02:17.140 from my front door?
00:02:19.020 I posted it on Twitter.
00:02:21.240 And, you know, it's interesting.
00:02:23.400 So, it's a package from Amazon, but it's a DoorDash guy stealing it.
00:02:30.300 Now, the value of the package, I can tell you since I figured out what was in it, was
00:02:35.640 maybe $10.
00:02:37.860 Approximately a $10 value.
00:02:39.620 A very, in fact, it was just a, you know, female product for some cosmetic beauty purpose. 1.00
00:02:47.840 Completely useless.
00:02:48.680 Now, how much work am I going to put into correcting this $10 loss?
00:02:57.140 So, I've already invested like a couple hours looking through the video cameras and, you
00:03:02.360 know, I've got redundant video.
00:03:05.360 But I'll tell you my favorite part of the video that you haven't seen, because the video I
00:03:11.140 posted is a view from behind, so you don't see the face of the perpetrator.
00:03:16.720 But I have one from the other angle that's a complete video, so I can see the whole thing.
00:03:22.080 So, here's the funniest part.
00:03:25.080 Do you think that somebody who walks up to a house like mine expects there to be a security,
00:03:31.600 a video security there?
00:03:34.460 They should.
00:03:36.100 There are probably zero houses like mine, you know, sort of in a certain neighborhood,
00:03:41.880 that don't have video security.
00:03:44.460 I mean, they all do.
00:03:45.200 My neighborhood has so many cameras.
00:03:49.300 We're all organized on a WhatsApp chat.
00:03:55.020 So, if there's even the least suspicious car or person in the neighborhood, all of our phones
00:04:00.840 light up, and then everybody goes to their video cameras, and all of a sudden you've got
00:04:05.780 video of like every angle of this guy, you know, this person walking through the neighborhood.
00:04:10.460 We've got so much video footage of anybody who comes within, you know, a mile of our community.
00:04:17.900 But here's the funny part.
00:04:19.380 He had to know, the guy who stole my package, he had to know I had a video camera there.
00:04:24.060 And the funny part is he's looking for it.
00:04:27.740 So, you don't see that in the video I posted, but he backs up.
00:04:31.600 He's got the package in his hand, and then he realizes that he still has a chance to put
00:04:36.080 it down if he sees a video camera, right?
00:04:39.360 Then it's not quite a crime yet.
00:04:41.400 So, you see him holding the package, and he has that thought, and then he does this.
00:04:50.320 And then he leaves because he doesn't see the cameras.
00:04:57.040 Let's just say he missed more than one.
00:05:02.640 I'm not going to have one video camera on my front door.
00:05:05.480 I got cameras, I got cameras, even I don't know where they are.
00:05:11.600 I can see anything on my house.
00:05:14.900 So, anyway, I sent it to AP, and they asked for some stuff that's hard for me to find,
00:05:20.880 and I probably won't follow up, but we'll see.
00:05:24.020 And by the way, have you ever had trouble with customer support?
00:05:29.740 You know, you try to get them on the phone or the chat thing, and it just takes forever
00:05:33.160 and doesn't work.
00:05:34.040 I find that if you have a certain amount of followers on Twitter, you don't need to use
00:05:41.100 customer support anymore.
00:05:42.880 You just tweet it.
00:05:46.280 And honestly, I feel bad when I do it, because I know not everybody can do it.
00:05:50.520 It's just sort of a special situation.
00:05:53.300 But when I tweet something like this, it takes about five minutes for the corporate office
00:05:58.740 to, you know, stop what they're doing.
00:06:02.060 So, I always laugh.
00:06:03.480 There's somebody who stopped what they're doing today at DoorDash.
00:06:08.720 Somebody's schedule is a little bit different today.
00:06:11.040 All right.
00:06:12.140 AP has a story out.
00:06:14.140 They say that public trust has eroded.
00:06:18.520 Public trust, especially in the news.
00:06:22.060 And what do you think that's, what's that about?
00:06:24.020 Here's what the AP said.
00:06:25.900 They said, for experts who study misinformation, it's good to know that there are experts who
00:06:31.100 study misinformation.
00:06:32.940 Experts.
00:06:33.660 Huh.
00:06:34.580 Where does misinformation come from?
00:06:37.720 Well, that's another story.
00:06:40.280 But the experts who study misinformation and human cognition, they say the fraying of trust,
00:06:45.900 this is the AP tweet, the fraying of trust is in part tied to the rise of the Internet
00:06:52.000 and the way it can be exploited on contentious issues of social and economic change.
00:06:57.760 So, there you have it.
00:07:00.000 So, the reason for the change in trust is something about the Internet and the way it can be exploited.
00:07:08.480 I guess that's one way to frame it.
00:07:10.880 That's one way.
00:07:11.740 What would be, can anybody, let's brainstorm a little bit.
00:07:15.340 Can anybody think of another reason the public would not have trust in the news?
00:07:20.540 What would it be?
00:07:22.980 Would it be, would it be because the news stopped even trying to report news and just
00:07:28.740 started making up bullshit?
00:07:32.380 I'm just going to throw that out as a hypothesis.
00:07:35.640 Could it be that the public noticed that the news is not true?
00:07:41.120 But not only did we notice that it's not true, because I think we could have been okay with
00:07:45.680 that, because that would just look like a mistake.
00:07:47.560 We all understand that the news gets updated, so I don't think people would have a problem
00:07:53.260 with it just being a mistake.
00:07:56.320 Am I right?
00:07:57.820 I mean, we'd complain about it, but we'd get over that.
00:08:01.120 Mistake's a mistake.
00:08:02.200 Everybody makes it.
00:08:03.880 But when you realize that the news is intentionally fake, intentionally fake, then the correct response
00:08:14.320 is to not trust it.
00:08:15.440 Now, shouldn't this story be the public has finally wised up that the news is intentionally
00:08:23.100 fake, and now they're reacting completely rationally and appropriately, and it's good news that
00:08:29.940 they don't believe this anymore.
00:08:32.040 Isn't it good news?
00:08:34.140 Why are they reporting it like there's something wrong with the public, and there's something
00:08:39.660 wrong with some bad characters and maybe something about the internet, when really it's just people
00:08:46.160 like the AP?
00:08:47.820 Isn't it?
00:08:49.660 Isn't it just the news literally and obviously making up shit that is the problem?
00:08:56.620 Am I wrong about that?
00:08:58.480 Now, imagine if you will, I would imagine the AP and their experts would argue something
00:09:02.900 like this.
00:09:03.440 I'm just speculating, because I don't know what they would say, but I think they would
00:09:07.380 argue something like this.
00:09:09.240 They would say, but we're not talking about the news reports.
00:09:13.500 We're talking about the crap that you see on the internet.
00:09:16.720 Yeah, no, this isn't the topic.
00:09:18.300 We're not talking about the news.
00:09:20.260 You know, we, that's his problems.
00:09:21.760 But we're talking about rumors on the internet that people believe.
00:09:25.080 That's really the topic we're talking about.
00:09:26.760 To which I say, do you think people would believe rumors on the internet if they had a reliable
00:09:35.640 news source that could tell them if that stuff was true or not?
00:09:41.620 Don't you think it matters that they can't check if it's true?
00:09:45.660 They don't have anybody they trust, like a news organization, to say, you know, that stuff
00:09:49.860 from Q, I'm not sure that's all real.
00:09:53.420 Okay, I guess they did say that.
00:09:56.760 But imagine, imagine if the news were still credible.
00:10:01.380 Imagine if the news was credible, or were credible.
00:10:06.920 If the news told you that Q is all made up and it's not real, but everything else that
00:10:13.580 the news told you sounded pretty credible, except when it was a legitimate mistake, wouldn't
00:10:18.220 you be inclined to believe them?
00:10:20.540 If they had a track record of telling you the truth and doing a pretty good job.
00:10:24.300 But they don't.
00:10:26.560 They don't have any track record.
00:10:28.120 In fact, as I was tweeting this morning, do you remember when you were so innocent that
00:10:36.060 if the news didn't cover a story, what did you assume was true?
00:10:40.820 If the news just ignored a story that you thought was a story, but they don't touch it, what did
00:10:46.360 you assume was true about that, that it wasn't really a story, that they had looked into it
00:10:52.780 and there was nothing there?
00:10:54.780 So they didn't even need to report that it was false.
00:10:57.640 It just wasn't there.
00:10:58.860 So you just ignore it.
00:11:00.440 But do you believe that now?
00:11:02.260 In 2022, do you believe that if the news doesn't cover a story, the reason is they looked into
00:11:06.600 it and there's nothing there?
00:11:07.440 No, you are just as likely to believe they looked into it and found something there and
00:11:14.500 that's why it's not being reported.
00:11:18.680 So here's another example of why we don't trust the press.
00:11:26.660 CNN is now going full-throated, generation four nuclear is a good idea and there's a story 0.99
00:11:33.340 around there about how Bill Gates and his TerraPower is building a plant in Wyoming that will
00:11:38.960 be one of these next generation, cheaper, smaller, safer kinds of nuclear energy.
00:11:45.160 And CNN is treating it like it's just all good news and that the problems of the past
00:11:50.260 may be solved by this new technology.
00:11:54.400 Now, did you expect that?
00:11:56.500 Did you expect that CNN would just go full-throated, hey, this is looking good.
00:12:01.340 We're going to need some of this nuclear energy to solve climate change.
00:12:05.520 It's green.
00:12:06.540 It's all green.
00:12:08.340 Now, some of this may be the change in management leadership at CNN because I've been tracking
00:12:14.340 that, sort of calling it out when they, whenever they do something that doesn't look like it's
00:12:19.000 just complete bullshit, I call it out because I'd like to see, you, that's funny, but bigoted,
00:12:29.440 cut it out, but funny, but funny.
00:12:34.500 So, I want to tell you the joke on YouTube, but I'll get kicked off, so I'm not going to,
00:12:42.180 we'll keep that on Locals.
00:12:43.520 The reason I have a Locals, you know, community, they pay a subscription fee, is because we don't 0.98
00:12:51.020 worry about the, getting offended over there. 1.00
00:12:53.420 You can offend me all you want.
00:12:56.560 Nobody gets offended over there.
00:12:59.140 And it's all good people, so, you know, there's not much to worry about.
00:13:03.320 All right.
00:13:04.220 So, that's a big deal.
00:13:06.860 Now, if you're trying to wonder why the public doesn't trust you, what was it that CNN learned
00:13:13.200 about nuclear energy this month, let's say, that causes them to do a positive story about
00:13:18.760 nuclear energy, what did CNN learn that's new compared to, let's say, two years ago or
00:13:25.620 three years ago?
00:13:26.340 What's new?
00:13:27.600 Well, they've got a story about this power plant, but I think it's been at least five years
00:13:33.320 since this company existed.
00:13:36.000 Longer, I think.
00:13:36.960 Terra Power.
00:13:38.160 So, it's been a story in the news for, I don't know, five years.
00:13:41.400 And the whole time, the story was, it's going to be newer, cheaper, safer, and we're pretty
00:13:47.480 sure we know how to do it.
00:13:49.820 But now it's news.
00:13:51.960 Now, this is why people don't trust the news.
00:13:55.480 Because three years ago, they were reporting the story as the opposite of what they're reporting
00:14:00.900 now.
00:14:01.820 The opposite.
00:14:03.000 Ooh, nuclear energy, it's kind of scary stuff.
00:14:05.840 It's never going to help us.
00:14:07.220 Too slow, too expensive.
00:14:09.320 And now it's just the opposite.
00:14:10.320 And nothing changed, except some years went by, and there's a whole lot of persuading
00:14:16.440 in between.
00:14:18.600 So, that's why people don't trust it.
00:14:22.260 Here's some new, maybe fake news, I don't know.
00:14:25.520 But Democrats in some PAC are accusing Republican Representative Lauren Boebert of having had an
00:14:36.220 abortion, which her spokesperson denies, and also having been a sugar baby escort, which
00:14:43.780 her people deny.
00:14:47.780 So, these are two things that Democrats are saying about her that have no basis in truth
00:14:53.560 according to her side, according to her spokesperson.
00:14:56.720 Now, I was trying to ignore this story, but I realized I couldn't.
00:15:03.000 I tend to reflexively defend anything that has Bert in its name.
00:15:10.180 Whether it's Dilbert, Dogbert, Ratbert, Catbert, or in this case, Boebert.
00:15:18.280 Boebert.
00:15:19.660 So, Lauren Boebert is now, I'm putting her under the umbrella of my protection.
00:15:26.820 Just sort of a random thing.
00:15:29.500 It's just because she has that last name of Bert.
00:15:33.060 No other reason.
00:15:33.940 Do I need another reason?
00:15:35.880 But, I believe her when she says that she was never on a sugar baby website.
00:15:46.520 I'm not going to finish this.
00:15:48.220 Damn it, I had a pretty good joke.
00:15:50.700 But, I don't know.
00:15:52.240 I'm going to bail out on that.
00:15:53.340 Because I just realized there were some implications to that joke that I hadn't thought through.
00:16:00.220 I hadn't entirely thought it through.
00:16:03.280 I'll tell you on Locals.
00:16:07.040 I'll tell you on Locals after we turn off YouTube, okay?
00:16:12.340 It's worth it.
00:16:13.880 All right.
00:16:14.180 I love watching CNN try to spin the fact that the, that not only is Biden's approval at its lowest level, we'll talk about that, but these, the January 6th hearings, in my opinion, are failing.
00:16:32.900 Now, I think that's purely a point of view.
00:16:34.760 You know, the Democrats are saying, succeeding, and the Republicans are saying, it looks like a, just a big clusterfuck there.
00:16:42.380 It looks like, looks like a failure.
00:16:44.160 So, of course, we're all looking at it through our own eyes.
00:16:46.200 But, Stephen Collinson, who is CNN's official attack dog for Trump, he does regular opinion columns in which he just mocks Trump with big sarcastic words, and sometimes reasons.
00:17:01.680 But here's how Stephen Collinson is trying to take a win from the January 6th stuff.
00:17:09.160 Because I think at this point, it's obvious that Trump's not going to jail.
00:17:14.980 Is everybody on the same page there?
00:17:17.160 At this point, it's sort of obvious there's no crime that Trump will be accused of, right?
00:17:23.520 Because we would sort of know by now if they had anything in that area, and it doesn't seem to be.
00:17:28.780 So, Stephen Collinson is trying to create a win out of this, and here's the first sentence of his piece.
00:17:33.940 He goes, whether or not Donald Trump ends up facing criminal charges, the House Committee probing the U.S. Capitol insurrection, so, of course, he has to use the word insurrection, has scored a critical win.
00:17:48.320 What do you think he's going to say?
00:17:50.740 So, the January 6th Committee has scored a critical win.
00:17:55.100 What do you think it is?
00:17:57.100 What would be the critical win that they have so far?
00:18:00.700 Well, the way he puts it is, the critical win over the ex-president, over Trump, is that it's thwarting his effort to cover up the true horror of that day of infamy.
00:18:13.980 But why do we care about that?
00:18:17.140 Does anybody really care about thwarting his effort to cover up a true horror on that day of infamy?
00:18:24.860 No, I agree it would be better to know the accurate story.
00:18:27.480 And so, therefore, it would be bad to cover up anything that the public has an interest in.
00:18:34.400 But I'm not so sure that he isn't just saying it worked politically.
00:18:43.840 Because I think, I feel like what he wanted to say, Stephen Colson, and this, I can't read his mind, so this would just be speculation.
00:18:52.320 I feel like he wanted to say something different.
00:18:58.420 I think he wanted to say that, you know, something horrible happened to Trump, and that from a political perspective, it's a disaster and will keep Trump from regaining the presidency.
00:19:10.840 But you can't say that, because that would be admitting this is just a political process, right?
00:19:17.320 So you can't admit it's just a political process.
00:19:19.620 So the way he words it is that it's a critical win.
00:19:23.060 It's not a political win.
00:19:25.960 Because if you called it a political win, the entire public would say,
00:19:28.900 you mean you wasted all of our time and our money over something that's just politics?
00:19:36.040 Because that's what happened.
00:19:37.840 If there had been any kind of a criminal indictment, or even anything close to it, for Trump himself,
00:19:44.440 then people would say, oh, I see why we did this.
00:19:47.580 Now it makes sense.
00:19:48.960 There was either a crime or a potential crime.
00:19:51.300 Yeah, you've got to look into that stuff.
00:19:52.900 If it's president, of course.
00:19:54.380 But nothing like that happened.
00:19:57.120 So now they're going to try to turn it into a critical win.
00:20:00.940 Do you know why they call it a critical win, as opposed to a political win or a legal win?
00:20:06.560 Do you know why they use the term?
00:20:08.060 Critical win.
00:20:09.160 Not a political win.
00:20:10.640 And not a legal win.
00:20:13.400 It's because it's an undefined term.
00:20:16.260 Here he is trying to score a win, but the only way he can describe the win is with an undefined term.
00:20:21.860 Critical.
00:20:22.220 Now, he tries to define it by saying, you know, there's thwarting his effort to cover up the true horror.
00:20:30.060 But is that critical?
00:20:31.680 What is critical about having a little more clarity over something?
00:20:35.300 I think we all understood the basic idea, right?
00:20:38.460 Was there anybody who thought all of the protesters were bad?
00:20:42.760 No.
00:20:43.900 Was there anybody who thought that none of the protesters were bad?
00:20:48.160 No.
00:20:48.480 Everybody said some bad people, most of them not.
00:20:53.200 We're all on the same page.
00:20:54.920 But to call it a critical win is clearly signaling that they didn't get what they wanted.
00:21:01.280 Because if you got what you wanted, do you know what you say?
00:21:04.480 Here's what we won.
00:21:06.520 You just, here it is.
00:21:08.700 We won an election.
00:21:10.840 We moved the poll numbers one way or the other.
00:21:14.320 We made money.
00:21:15.360 We lost money.
00:21:16.300 We changed the opinion of the public.
00:21:17.820 Anything.
00:21:18.380 They didn't do anything.
00:21:19.300 There was literally nothing that happened.
00:21:21.680 Nobody's opinion got changed.
00:21:23.200 I don't think so.
00:21:25.580 All right.
00:21:25.900 So Biden's now polling, according to the New York Times poll, a 33% approval.
00:21:35.000 Have we ever seen a president at 33%?
00:21:40.180 Is there anybody who's got access to Carter or...
00:21:44.780 I'm sorry.
00:21:45.540 I read the name Carter going by in the comments.
00:21:47.740 Does anybody have access to Google?
00:21:51.360 Was somebody at 28%?
00:21:52.940 I don't know.
00:21:57.920 But there's another poll, even lower.
00:22:01.020 An interactive poll, it's called.
00:22:03.360 The IA polls.
00:22:05.260 And on that, Biden hit an all-time low of 29%.
00:22:08.500 29%.
00:22:11.500 Have we ever seen a president in the 20s?
00:22:15.820 Now, that's not an official 20s because the other pollsters are going to be higher.
00:22:20.020 But we've never seen that, right?
00:22:21.260 Now, I saw the tweet by Adam, MD, that he notes that if 29% is the right number of approval for Biden, there are only 4% from the floor.
00:22:36.620 It's an inside joke.
00:22:38.520 The inside joke is, I've noted that 25% of people will, it might be a different 25%, but we'll get every question wrong.
00:22:47.240 You can guarantee that 25% of the public will get any question wrong, no matter how simple.
00:22:54.020 And here's another one.
00:22:55.740 So Biden's going to be hitting the theoretical lowest number of approval that our society can produce.
00:23:05.160 Because I don't think you can produce lower than 25.
00:23:07.580 And the reason is that 25% will get every question wrong, just reliably.
00:23:14.340 I mean, it's just a joke, but it seems true. 1.00
00:23:19.920 Is 81 million votes really 25% of the United States?
00:23:25.140 It's kind of close.
00:23:26.640 Hey, somebody do the math for me.
00:23:28.540 Is 81 million, how many people are in the United States?
00:23:36.800 How many people are in the United States?
00:23:40.860 380.
00:23:43.220 Or 350, somebody says.
00:23:45.960 So it's a proclamation.
00:23:47.260 He got approximately 25% of the public.
00:23:51.200 Now, not everybody votes, right?
00:23:53.240 So, that's a funny coincidence.
00:24:01.300 All right.
00:24:01.720 So now that Biden's down in the 20s or maybe the low 30s in approval, I want to revisit something.
00:24:08.520 So, like many of you, I lost a good friend over politics, over Trump specifically.
00:24:14.920 And I'm wondering if this is the time to maybe reach out to him.
00:24:19.180 Now, a number of people said, well, he can't really be a friend if he unfriended you because of politics.
00:24:26.920 And I think I was misleading.
00:24:28.400 He didn't unfriend me over politics.
00:24:30.520 That didn't happen.
00:24:32.120 I unfriended him over politics because he couldn't leave me alone.
00:24:37.500 Every day, it seemed like every day I'd get some lengthy message telling me that I was a monster for supporting Trump.
00:24:44.800 And, you know, I get the point.
00:24:46.140 You know, I caught on to his opinion fairly early on.
00:24:50.920 But hearing it every day, it was more than I could handle.
00:24:55.120 So I had to just basically ghost him.
00:24:58.120 So I'm wondering, should I reach out?
00:25:02.800 Because once he's, now that he's seen Biden as the alternative to Trump,
00:25:07.620 I'm wondering if he would say, well, I'm sure glad we don't have Trump in there.
00:25:14.040 Or would he say, well, okay, it's better than having Trump.
00:25:18.460 He has a disaster.
00:25:19.480 I don't know what he would say.
00:25:21.580 I don't know what he would say.
00:25:22.620 I don't think I would do a told you so victory dance.
00:25:25.660 I think that would be a little over the top.
00:25:28.700 But I think he should have developed some humility about his opinion by now.
00:25:34.440 And I'm wondering if that would help us have a productive conversation.
00:25:37.940 But I'm just thinking about it.
00:25:39.760 If you're thinking about reaching out to any of your friends you lost, this might be a good time.
00:25:44.340 I think the timing is good to make your friends back.
00:25:47.980 Do any of you live in a fake news personal life that's as bad as the fake news politics?
00:26:03.600 I'm just wondering.
00:26:05.080 Have any of you had an experience where your actual life turned out to be a fake life?
00:26:14.160 I'd say yes.
00:26:15.300 I wouldn't expect many of you to say that.
00:26:18.560 Yes.
00:26:20.340 Explain.
00:26:20.980 Yes.
00:26:22.440 That your actual life turned out to be a fake life.
00:26:26.020 Well, I don't like to get too deeply into my personal life.
00:26:30.300 But I'll just tell you one thing that happened to me that just reminded me that we don't live in the same reality.
00:26:37.320 All right.
00:26:38.580 So most of you know, because I'm a public figure, that I'm going through completing a divorce.
00:26:44.280 Now, it's newer news for you, but it's older news for me.
00:26:48.800 So it's like a year in the process.
00:26:50.920 So I'm kind of beyond all the ugly part.
00:26:53.580 I'm in the reflection part.
00:26:56.080 No, stop saying you're sorry.
00:26:58.940 My point is that it's old news to me.
00:27:02.660 So we've both moved on very much.
00:27:06.860 So we've moved on about as much as you can move on.
00:27:09.380 So everything's good.
00:27:10.740 We've worked out the details and stuff.
00:27:12.500 So everything's good.
00:27:14.400 And I saw her the other day, and I thought to ask this question.
00:27:19.260 Did she know why we were getting divorced?
00:27:24.640 And she wasn't sure.
00:27:27.640 And then she described a specific situation in which she thought I had been reacting to a story about us.
00:27:37.220 And she thought that maybe that story that had been on the Internet had influenced me to want a divorce.
00:27:46.760 And I said, what?
00:27:49.540 I'd never even heard of it.
00:27:51.480 I didn't even know what the story was.
00:27:53.380 In fact, when she told me, it was the first time I'd ever heard it.
00:27:55.700 So a year into a divorce, she didn't know why.
00:28:02.200 It wasn't even close.
00:28:04.740 Isn't that weird?
00:28:07.040 Because I didn't even know, like, even in the general ballpark of the reason.
00:28:12.780 And I'm thinking to myself, I'm pretty sure we discussed it.
00:28:16.000 But, now, I don't want to get into, you know, my situation, because that's not really the point.
00:28:23.000 The point is, do you have any situations like that in which somebody who's actually that close to you in your personal life is living, at least in their mind, a completely different life?
00:28:34.560 Yeah, it's fairly common.
00:28:43.780 You know, and I think that once you see it, you can't unsee it, right?
00:28:48.240 Once you start tuning yourself to the fact that we're living in different worlds,
00:28:52.740 because you used to think that people were only temporarily living in different worlds.
00:28:57.800 That if you informed them and you talked to them, you'd end up in the same world.
00:29:02.080 Maybe you had different information.
00:29:03.280 It's not that.
00:29:05.760 It's not that.
00:29:07.000 I think we've gone to a higher level of awareness when we realize that we're all just living in different worlds,
00:29:12.520 and it's not because we're stupid.
00:29:14.340 It's not because we're under-informed.
00:29:16.480 We might be those things, too, but that's not what's causing us to live in different worlds.
00:29:21.200 It's just that we all make up our own world.
00:29:24.720 That is really important to understand.
00:29:27.220 We just make up our own world.
00:29:28.840 It doesn't matter how smart or well-informed you are.
00:29:31.160 Once you get that, everything is easier.
00:29:35.020 Your whole life will be more stress-free when you realize that we're not creatures of reason and thought and data.
00:29:42.900 We try to be, but we're not close.
00:29:45.140 We're nowhere in the neighborhood of being those people, but we'd like to be.
00:29:50.460 All right.
00:29:52.760 I saw a good joke from a user on Twitter, Den Lesks.
00:29:59.540 And he says, now listen to this carefully.
00:30:03.380 It's a clever joke.
00:30:04.400 You have to listen to all the words.
00:30:06.560 He says, at this point, I'd rather Hunter Biden be our president than Joe.
00:30:11.140 Hunter lines his blow and screws prostitutes. 0.67
00:30:15.140 Joe blows his lines and screws us.
00:30:18.980 So Hunter lines his blow and screws prostitutes, but Joe blows his lines and screws us. 0.88
00:30:25.320 Pretty good.
00:30:25.920 Pretty good.
00:30:29.260 All right.
00:30:30.320 Let's talk about wokeness. 0.86
00:30:32.780 So you've heard my opinion that I think calling people what they would like to be called is just good manners.
00:30:40.380 And then I also resist people forcing me to do anything because I'm willing to do it.
00:30:47.100 It's good manners.
00:30:47.760 But I'm not willing to do crazy things, and I'm not willing to get punished if I get one wrong, right, if I use the wrong term.
00:30:54.200 I'm not willing to take any punishment for it because I think manners have to work both ways, right, a little bit of forgiveness both ways.
00:31:02.020 So I saw this criticism of me.
00:31:04.380 It was in response to a Matt Walsh comment.
00:31:08.120 But the comment was about me.
00:31:10.000 It's from RealCamDog, Twitter user.
00:31:12.920 And he says, write on, write on to Matt Walsh about whatever Matt Walsh was saying.
00:31:18.180 And then he refers to me.
00:31:19.160 He goes, Scott Adams says, Scott Adams could learn something from you, meaning Matt Walsh.
00:31:25.240 And then this user says, he has gone full woke now, meaning me.
00:31:30.980 In his show last week, he accepted and used the left's way of using language.
00:31:35.620 I can't even take him serious now.
00:31:37.700 That should be seriously.
00:31:41.820 And it should be, I can't take him seriously.
00:31:46.400 And you should get rid of the even. 1.00
00:31:49.120 Even doesn't add anything.
00:31:50.900 I can't even take him seriously.
00:31:52.080 Take away the even.
00:31:53.460 And then serious should be seriously.
00:31:55.860 And then you can get rid of the now because that's the context.
00:32:01.260 So I just had to take a pause to fix your horrible sentence.
00:32:05.760 But he says, I can't even take him seriously, serious now.
00:32:09.760 And then he says to me, he says, he said at one point, quote, I don't want to dead names.
00:32:15.280 So I'll be clear, blah, blah.
00:32:17.000 So he says that he's sickened by me, basically, because I bought into the left's requirement.
00:32:28.100 Requirement.
00:32:28.380 To which I said to him, the part I don't like is when, I said I like the part of wokeness in which people inform me how they prefer to be addressed.
00:32:41.060 That's good manners.
00:32:42.600 For example, if a woman wanted me to address her as Ms. or Miss or Mrs., would you object to that?
00:32:52.540 Would you object to any of those words?
00:32:54.900 I wouldn't.
00:32:55.340 Suppose somebody asked me, and this happens all the time because I'm a famous person.
00:33:01.440 When people talk to famous people and they've gotten familiar, they'll sometimes say, may I call you Scott?
00:33:10.320 To which I say, of course, that being my name and everything.
00:33:13.760 So we, you know, it's a normal custom that we ask people how they'd like to be addressed, and then we do our best to use it, right?
00:33:24.660 Now, the problem is if you do it wrong.
00:33:27.680 Maybe you have good intentions, but you do it wrong.
00:33:30.300 So here's what I said in my tweet.
00:33:31.840 I said, I like the part of wokeness in which people inform me how they prefer to be addressed.
00:33:35.620 That's just good manners.
00:33:37.180 And then I added, the part I don't like is when people such as this guy, the guy tweeting at me, or the LGBT community tell me there would be penalties if I used the wrong word.
00:33:49.820 Then I ended with, you can all go fuck yourself. 0.99
00:33:52.580 So in my opinion, this guy who's criticizing me for being too woke is the LGBT community.
00:33:57.900 He and the LGBT community are the same fucking people, because both of them are telling me what to say. 1.00
00:34:05.500 And I am happy to use polite terms that people feel comfortable with, always.
00:34:11.640 And I'm completely on board with that.
00:34:14.060 You tell me what you would like to be called, and I will call you that, as best I can.
00:34:19.420 But to the LGBT community, and I've said this many times, if I get it wrong, and you give me a hard time,
00:34:26.480 fuck you, fuck you hard, go fuck yourself with a blunt instrument, just get it out of my face. 1.00
00:34:35.680 Because if you can't give me a little bit of manners in return, well, then you don't deserve any.
00:34:40.620 That's how it works, right?
00:34:42.460 We're polite to polite people.
00:34:44.720 You know, if somebody's not polite to you, you get to shoot back.
00:34:47.540 That's how it works.
00:34:48.760 So would I go any harder on the LGBT community if they came after me for making a mistake, 0.99
00:34:54.500 which is what it would be, because I wouldn't do it intentionally.
00:34:57.660 It would just be a mistake.
00:34:59.340 Would I be as hard as him as this guy, who thinks I shouldn't use their word?
00:35:03.880 These are two fucking groups telling me how to talk.
00:35:06.860 There's no difference.
00:35:08.460 One of them is telling me that he's going to punish me in public by calling me out and never watching me,
00:35:14.240 because I don't use the right fucking words that he wants me to use. 0.89
00:35:17.720 Well, asshole, let me be clear.
00:35:20.200 You are your enemy.
00:35:22.100 You are your enemy.
00:35:23.060 If you're telling me how to talk, you're your fucking enemy,
00:35:26.500 because they're the ones who you don't like, because they're telling you how to talk.
00:35:30.080 No, don't tell me how to fucking talk.
00:35:32.940 Not the LGBT community, not this fucking asshole who's apparently not on board with everything the LGBT community wants. 0.98
00:35:40.960 Do not fucking tell me how I should talk, unless you expect this response.
00:35:48.080 You know, it's free speech, so you can tell to say anything you want.
00:35:51.100 But you know you're going to get a response.
00:35:57.380 All right, we'll get rid of you.
00:36:02.760 All right.
00:36:03.360 So, and then, here's what a comment back to me on my comment was.
00:36:16.880 If you're using preferred pronouns instead of reality, this is somebody else's opinion, that's idiocy.
00:36:23.760 Not good manners, not playing pretend with these psychos.
00:36:30.340 So he doesn't want me to, like, depart reality for the purpose of manners.
00:36:36.040 What do you think of that?
00:36:37.000 Do you think that people should depart reality just to be polite?
00:36:42.440 Is that a good idea or a bad idea, to depart reality to be polite?
00:36:50.340 Do you know what manners even are?
00:36:54.100 What do manners have to do with reality?
00:36:56.160 When I go to dinner and the woman I'm with is served first, what's the reason for that? 0.99
00:37:09.120 What would be the functional purpose of the woman gets served first at dinner? 1.00
00:37:15.380 I don't know.
00:37:16.760 What is the purpose for me opening a door for another person who is perfectly able-bodied?
00:37:21.900 I don't know.
00:37:24.880 None of these are really based on reality.
00:37:28.920 Just some shit bothers you and some stuff doesn't.
00:37:32.040 That's it.
00:37:33.360 So, women eat slower. 1.00
00:37:35.420 Somebody says there's a reason.
00:37:36.760 Because women eat slower so they have to get their food first. 1.00
00:37:39.860 Well, nice try. 0.58
00:37:42.620 That was a nicer try than I would have imagined.
00:37:47.240 All right.
00:37:47.960 Aaron Rupar got a little public conversation on Twitter.
00:37:54.280 There's a clip of Governor Youngkin being in Virginia, being interviewed.
00:37:58.860 And Aaron Rupar tweeted it.
00:38:03.380 And his own words that he put on the tweet, Aaron Rupar was,
00:38:07.940 Governor Glenn Runkin on CBS indicates he'd support a full abortion ban in Virginia,
00:38:12.920 with exceptions for rape, incest, and health.
00:38:15.060 And then I saw other people tweeting at him and saying,
00:38:20.500 I just listened to it.
00:38:21.660 He didn't say that.
00:38:23.420 And so I thought, what?
00:38:24.980 Why would you send a clip around and say it says A,
00:38:29.900 when the other people looking at it are saying,
00:38:32.100 I'm listening to it too.
00:38:33.860 He didn't say that.
00:38:35.520 So I listened to it, and he didn't say that.
00:38:38.380 He did not say it.
00:38:39.980 So, what's going on?
00:38:42.840 I mean, it's very clearly he didn't say it.
00:38:44.740 This isn't one of those, you know, Yanni and Laurel things.
00:38:48.100 I just looked at it and go, okay.
00:38:50.460 He didn't even actually even answer a question like that.
00:38:54.340 Right?
00:38:54.760 He just sort of did his political answer that was sort of a dodge.
00:38:58.000 But he didn't answer it one way or the other.
00:39:00.640 And so I said to myself, my God, what's happening?
00:39:03.560 And then I thought, I don't know,
00:39:05.100 it feels like he must really believe what he's saying.
00:39:09.360 Because sometimes you think maybe they're just taken aside
00:39:11.800 and they know it's not true,
00:39:13.720 but if they retweet it, maybe you'll think it's true.
00:39:17.120 But that doesn't look like what's happening.
00:39:20.520 I see what you're saying in the comments.
00:39:22.040 I'll get to that.
00:39:23.400 I don't think that's what's happening.
00:39:24.880 It looked to me like he believed what he said,
00:39:27.040 because he said it publicly and he doubled down
00:39:29.180 and he didn't delete it and said it's right there, blah, blah.
00:39:32.400 And even made fun of people for reading comprehension
00:39:35.160 if they didn't hear it, too.
00:39:37.080 And I didn't hear it.
00:39:39.320 And then I reread his tweet.
00:39:44.480 It says he indicates.
00:39:47.540 And I thought, oh, wait, I was listening to see if he said it.
00:39:51.860 He didn't say it.
00:39:53.600 But if you say he indicates,
00:39:56.660 that does say that it's an opinion, right?
00:39:59.960 So the word indicates, suggests that Aaron Rupar's opinion
00:40:04.740 is that he's revealed his inner thoughts.
00:40:09.180 And on that, I actually agree.
00:40:12.220 I agree with that as an opinion,
00:40:15.420 meaning that you don't know, we don't know his inner thoughts.
00:40:18.060 But I think it's a perfectly reasonable opinion,
00:40:20.420 once you heard the video,
00:40:21.940 that you would say that the governor was avoiding
00:40:24.240 a direct answer to the question,
00:40:26.760 but he was so obviously avoiding the direct answer
00:40:29.940 that it did indicate that maybe he would go there.
00:40:33.180 However, I will add this caveat.
00:40:37.320 There are two reasons he might not want to answer the question.
00:40:43.040 One is that he's signaling that he would, in fact,
00:40:46.640 be in favor of a total ban.
00:40:48.720 But he doesn't want to say it on TV,
00:40:50.660 because it'll hurt him.
00:40:52.500 The other is that he doesn't want to say
00:40:54.820 he wouldn't support it,
00:40:56.560 because he would lose votes either way.
00:40:57.980 So the politician thing is just to not answer a question
00:41:01.740 you don't need to answer.
00:41:03.220 Because if you do answer it,
00:41:04.740 somebody's not going to like it.
00:41:06.640 But if you don't need to answer it at all,
00:41:09.200 you don't give people reason to vote against you.
00:41:13.140 So I think the way he answered it was clever,
00:41:16.080 but it opens up two possibilities.
00:41:18.080 One is that he wasn't answering the question
00:41:19.800 because he doesn't want to say yes,
00:41:21.360 but also because he didn't want to say no.
00:41:23.280 They both would be bad for him politically.
00:41:24.940 So Aaron Rupar's, I guess I'll call it an opinion,
00:41:30.960 that good reading comprehension would suggest
00:41:33.540 that his avoiding of the question
00:41:35.380 is a pretty strong signal of which way he would go.
00:41:41.240 And on that, I would say,
00:41:43.180 that's a fair opinion,
00:41:46.080 but it needs to be clearly an opinion.
00:41:49.880 Because I'm not quite there,
00:41:52.980 but I could see how he'd say it.
00:41:55.120 So had Aaron presented this
00:41:57.420 as purely his opinion
00:41:58.840 of what the other guy's opinion was,
00:42:01.180 I'd be okay with that.
00:42:03.840 So I'm trying to be fair here
00:42:05.640 because I have criticized Aaron Rupar
00:42:08.540 for editing or for tweeting videos
00:42:11.640 that were edited to be misleading.
00:42:13.740 This is not one of those.
00:42:15.140 This is one in which he said exactly what he thought,
00:42:19.040 and if you really take the time
00:42:20.640 to deal with it with the exact words he used,
00:42:25.280 I'm okay with it.
00:42:26.800 I disagreed with it on first exposure,
00:42:30.240 but I think I would allow that his opinion
00:42:33.120 is within the bounds of reasonable opinions,
00:42:35.760 even if wrong.
00:42:37.480 Well, have you all wondered
00:42:39.220 if Elon Musk had a secret plan
00:42:42.040 that was not really revealed to you about Twitter?
00:42:45.140 Has that ever occurred to you?
00:42:47.100 It's like, I feel like there's something missing, right?
00:42:54.060 And I think we just found out what it was.
00:42:57.560 So Elon Musk retweeted a meme or tweeted it,
00:43:03.680 and the meme was four pictures of Elon Musk
00:43:06.960 with four fake quotes, right?
00:43:10.120 So it's not what he actually said,
00:43:11.940 but it's like, you know, lining up with it.
00:43:14.120 On the Locals platform, you can see the meme
00:43:16.300 because they can paste it in the comments,
00:43:18.500 so it's going by right now.
00:43:20.860 So I'll just read what the meme said.
00:43:23.840 The first panel said,
00:43:25.260 they said I couldn't buy Twitter.
00:43:26.780 The second one says,
00:43:28.080 now they wouldn't disclose the bot information.
00:43:31.700 Then they wouldn't disclose it.
00:43:33.240 He goes, now they want to force me
00:43:34.880 to buy Twitter in court.
00:43:36.160 So, so far, that's what's happened, right?
00:43:38.820 That just describes what happened.
00:43:40.660 And the fourth one says,
00:43:42.120 now they have to disclose bot info in court.
00:43:49.120 What?
00:43:50.740 Wait, what?
00:43:54.060 Seriously?
00:43:54.540 If they sue him to complete the deal,
00:43:59.700 will he have,
00:44:00.620 will that give him enough,
00:44:02.660 let's say, purchase,
00:44:06.340 well, that's a misleading word in this case,
00:44:08.140 will that give him enough traction
00:44:09.540 that legally he can get their bot information
00:44:12.840 through discovery?
00:44:15.660 But the question is,
00:44:16.800 the discovery has to be relevant to the question, right?
00:44:20.080 I don't know if the discovery
00:44:21.800 would be relevant enough to the question,
00:44:24.060 would it?
00:44:26.220 Because I think you could argue
00:44:27.680 that that's not the point.
00:44:30.160 If Twitter were to argue
00:44:31.920 that it doesn't matter what the reality is,
00:44:33.920 it only matters what contract you signed,
00:44:36.300 and I think they would,
00:44:37.920 then I don't know if they would have to
00:44:39.640 give him that information, would they?
00:44:43.720 His claim is that they didn't provide it,
00:44:47.420 but what if they just don't provide it again?
00:44:51.800 Because what if they give the court
00:44:53.580 the same thing they gave Elon Musk?
00:44:55.880 Because they say that's all they have.
00:44:59.120 Now, the court could put people on,
00:45:01.560 you know,
00:45:02.620 they could put them under oath
00:45:03.980 and say,
00:45:04.900 is that really all you have?
00:45:06.980 You know, really?
00:45:08.060 You know, find an actual programmer
00:45:09.740 who would be in charge of, like,
00:45:11.200 collecting that data,
00:45:12.320 and just put the programmer on the stage,
00:45:14.600 or on the stand,
00:45:15.540 stage,
00:45:16.180 put them on the stand,
00:45:17.580 and say,
00:45:17.960 all right, you're the programmer.
00:45:18.780 Is this really all the information we could get?
00:45:22.140 Are you seriously saying,
00:45:23.780 seriously,
00:45:25.100 that you can't tell how many bots there are
00:45:26.760 with internal information?
00:45:28.440 Now, if the engineer says that we really can't,
00:45:32.080 then I don't know if any discovery is necessary,
00:45:34.400 is it?
00:45:35.580 Because if the person who could give us this information
00:45:37.960 says it's not obtainable,
00:45:40.080 you know,
00:45:40.320 it doesn't matter if you want it,
00:45:41.780 it's not obtainable,
00:45:43.440 well, then nothing happens,
00:45:45.060 and maybe Elon Musk loses.
00:45:47.900 But do you think this is a real thing?
00:45:50.440 That he could actually force them
00:45:52.120 to give him accurate bot informations,
00:45:54.580 and they have it?
00:45:56.300 What if they have it?
00:45:59.800 Because I'm not so sure that they have it.
00:46:02.580 If you've ever worked in a big corporation
00:46:04.980 and you were in charge of data,
00:46:06.780 like I was,
00:46:08.500 I worked for a big corporation,
00:46:09.860 two of them.
00:46:10.680 In both cases,
00:46:11.640 I was one of the data guys, right?
00:46:14.460 If somebody wanted to know what was true,
00:46:17.400 data-wise,
00:46:18.060 they came to me.
00:46:19.600 They asked me,
00:46:20.680 and I would tell them what was true,
00:46:22.240 because I had the data,
00:46:23.240 usually financial data.
00:46:25.380 And how often,
00:46:27.520 how often was my data wrong?
00:46:32.640 What do you think?
00:46:34.800 How often was my data so wrong
00:46:37.480 that it wouldn't help you with a decision?
00:46:41.880 25%.
00:46:42.280 Yeah,
00:46:43.220 all the time.
00:46:44.180 All the time.
00:46:45.240 The data's always wrong.
00:46:46.680 In one way or another.
00:46:47.760 There's always some context missing,
00:46:49.900 timing differences,
00:46:50.920 that sort of thing.
00:46:52.100 So I don't know.
00:46:53.500 But if it turned out
00:46:54.760 that that's what Elon Musk
00:46:56.760 had in mind all along,
00:46:59.160 and I won't say that he had one path all along,
00:47:01.980 because I can't imagine him
00:47:03.220 being a one-path guy.
00:47:05.560 Again,
00:47:06.000 this is mind-reading, right?
00:47:07.000 But I can't imagine
00:47:08.360 that Elon Musk
00:47:09.160 thinks of his strategies
00:47:11.420 in terms of
00:47:12.320 there's one thing I'm going to do
00:47:13.560 and only that,
00:47:14.460 and I'm going to get it done.
00:47:15.400 I feel like
00:47:15.940 he's intellectually flexible
00:47:18.300 so that he has several paths
00:47:20.900 that could work,
00:47:22.220 and he's monitoring them
00:47:23.320 at all times,
00:47:24.040 and oh,
00:47:24.400 this one just opened up,
00:47:25.320 so we'll take this path.
00:47:27.100 So maybe,
00:47:27.940 maybe he thought of this
00:47:29.140 the whole time,
00:47:29.720 and that was the track.
00:47:30.840 Or maybe not.
00:47:32.620 I don't know.
00:47:32.940 And then my last line of notes
00:47:35.920 seems to be something
00:47:36.880 that was left on the printer
00:47:38.000 that has no application
00:47:40.260 to anything we're talking about
00:47:41.560 whatsoever.
00:47:44.480 And so,
00:47:45.360 ladies and gentlemen,
00:47:46.740 even though I was late today,
00:47:49.240 super late,
00:47:51.020 I think I delivered
00:47:52.460 the best live stream
00:47:53.840 you've ever seen
00:47:54.360 in your whole damn life. 0.74
00:48:00.820 What's the matter?
00:48:02.940 Oh,
00:48:04.900 okay.
00:48:06.860 All right,
00:48:07.520 so I'm seeing lots of memes
00:48:08.440 go by.
00:48:12.040 The sip was a bit rushed.
00:48:14.220 You're right.
00:48:17.860 Printers are my worst enemies.
00:48:19.580 The Dutch farmers.
00:48:21.540 I don't know.
00:48:22.500 Is there much to that story?
00:48:24.220 They're protesting.
00:48:25.920 They're not happy.
00:48:28.880 Oh,
00:48:29.320 tell us the joke.
00:48:32.940 Remind me.
00:48:33.480 What was the joke
00:48:34.080 I wasn't going to tell you?
00:48:37.140 Oh,
00:48:37.520 I know.
00:48:37.840 It was the offensive joke
00:48:39.000 over here.
00:48:39.500 All right.
00:48:41.780 All right.
00:48:42.920 That's all for now.
00:48:45.100 Oh,
00:48:45.500 about Boebert.
00:48:46.580 All right.
00:48:46.900 Well,
00:48:47.060 I'm going to tell
00:48:47.480 the locals people
00:48:49.300 what I was going to say.
00:48:51.840 And that's all.
00:48:56.220 Who is
00:48:56.800 Pedo Pete?
00:48:58.140 I don't know.
00:49:03.820 The Uganda gold story.
00:49:06.320 I don't know.
00:49:06.580 What's that?
00:49:08.820 So,
00:49:09.280 there are farmers
00:49:09.960 revolting in more places.
00:49:15.200 Dutch farmers
00:49:15.980 are trying to avoid
00:49:16.920 a Sri Lanka situation.
00:49:18.520 Is that what they're doing?
00:49:22.520 All right.
00:49:23.140 Uganda found 0.96
00:49:25.900 as much gold
00:49:26.600 underground
00:49:27.080 as there is
00:49:27.940 in the entire world.
00:49:29.860 Oh,
00:49:30.220 that's a good story.
00:49:31.060 I'm going to go
00:49:31.460 catch up on that.
00:49:32.140 I didn't see that
00:49:32.640 in the headlines today.
00:49:36.640 Not true.
00:49:43.960 All right.
00:49:44.440 So,
00:49:44.940 here's another story
00:49:45.640 that I somehow
00:49:46.360 skipped over.
00:49:48.900 This is older data.
00:49:50.360 It's like seven years old,
00:49:51.360 but it probably
00:49:51.700 hasn't changed that much.
00:49:52.520 29% of adult women
00:49:55.100 are taking drugs
00:49:56.940 to help with
00:49:57.980 mental illness
00:49:58.860 or mental health.
00:50:01.620 29%.
00:50:02.260 That was seven years ago.
00:50:03.980 So,
00:50:05.500 do you believe
00:50:06.660 that number?
00:50:09.500 But here's the problem.
00:50:11.440 If 29%
00:50:12.500 are taking a drug
00:50:13.480 for their mental health,
00:50:15.360 how many of them
00:50:16.320 should be taking a drug
00:50:17.880 and are not?
00:50:20.240 Because there's no way
00:50:21.460 that 100% of the people
00:50:22.780 who have mental health
00:50:23.640 problems are taking drugs,
00:50:24.800 right?
00:50:25.860 It might be
00:50:26.580 half.
00:50:28.720 The other half
00:50:29.420 don't know that a drug
00:50:30.480 could help
00:50:31.020 or they're too degraded
00:50:32.040 to get their own help
00:50:33.020 or they think they're fine
00:50:34.840 or they don't have
00:50:36.460 health insurance
00:50:37.340 or they don't have time.
00:50:38.260 But I feel like
00:50:39.940 I feel like
00:50:41.840 it's close to 50%
00:50:44.140 would either have
00:50:45.880 a mental health problem
00:50:46.840 or need it.
00:50:48.300 Now,
00:50:50.020 actually,
00:50:52.360 let me ask this.
00:50:53.400 I'm going to ask you
00:50:54.140 the two most sexist questions
00:50:56.000 you've ever seen
00:50:56.780 in your life.
00:50:58.100 And this will show me
00:50:59.220 how much of a terrible,
00:51:00.560 terrible person you are. 0.71
00:51:01.920 I'm going to ask you
00:51:02.860 first for women
00:51:03.660 and then for men.
00:51:05.300 Now,
00:51:05.640 forget about
00:51:06.140 what drugs people are taking.
00:51:07.880 So the following questions
00:51:09.160 are not about drugs.
00:51:10.960 They're about
00:51:11.360 what percentage of men
00:51:12.780 and what percentage of women 1.00
00:51:14.040 are actually having
00:51:16.080 mental health issues
00:51:17.580 that are substantial.
00:51:19.140 What percentage of women 1.00
00:51:20.340 in 2022,
00:51:21.400 adult women,
00:51:22.760 do you think have
00:51:23.740 substantial mental health issues?
00:51:27.400 Adult women. 0.80
00:51:28.860 And it has nothing to do
00:51:29.920 with medical treatment,
00:51:30.860 just how many.
00:51:32.060 I'm going to read,
00:51:32.760 I'm seeing half,
00:51:33.680 40%,
00:51:34.340 35%,
00:51:35.300 90%,
00:51:36.240 90%,
00:51:36.880 90%,
00:51:37.860 75%,
00:51:38.620 all over the place.
00:51:39.920 High numbers though.
00:51:41.300 A lot of numbers
00:51:42.120 over 50%.
00:51:43.180 Some of them
00:51:43.920 are low as 20%.
00:51:45.380 Over on YouTube,
00:51:46.960 numbers are really high.
00:51:48.420 Two-thirds,
00:51:49.320 something like that.
00:51:50.000 All right.
00:51:50.600 Now you sexists,
00:51:52.140 stop your answers
00:51:52.920 for a moment
00:51:53.520 because I want to get
00:51:55.280 the same
00:51:55.820 for men.
00:51:59.200 All right.
00:51:59.900 Adult men.
00:52:00.760 What percentage
00:52:01.500 do you think
00:52:02.100 have a mental health issue?
00:52:03.580 everything from zero
00:52:08.360 to 100%
00:52:09.020 I'm seeing.
00:52:09.960 But I'm seeing
00:52:10.600 lower numbers
00:52:11.260 across the board,
00:52:12.360 which is compatible
00:52:13.800 with the study
00:52:14.540 I just told you.
00:52:15.800 The men at least
00:52:16.620 are reporting less.
00:52:18.140 I don't know
00:52:18.380 if they have less,
00:52:19.100 but they report less.
00:52:19.960 All right.
00:52:21.860 I feel it's closer
00:52:23.280 to 80%
00:52:28.240 both male and women.
00:52:30.100 80%.
00:52:30.660 My definition
00:52:32.900 of substantial
00:52:34.480 mental illness
00:52:35.400 is something
00:52:36.300 that really is
00:52:37.180 affecting your life
00:52:38.440 every day.
00:52:39.500 Not something
00:52:40.080 that's just
00:52:40.540 a fleeting thought,
00:52:41.520 but something
00:52:41.700 that just really
00:52:42.340 affects your life
00:52:43.040 every day.
00:52:43.660 I think 80%
00:52:44.440 of both.
00:52:45.520 And the reason
00:52:46.100 is that society
00:52:47.780 has changed
00:52:49.440 to the point
00:52:50.260 where it's not
00:52:50.820 meeting our basic needs.
00:52:53.280 And when society
00:52:54.940 doesn't meet
00:52:55.600 your basic needs,
00:52:56.760 you have a mental 0.51
00:52:58.800 situation
00:52:59.840 that is not healthy.
00:53:03.060 So I think
00:53:03.740 that 80% of us
00:53:05.020 are in a mental health
00:53:06.600 crisis of one way
00:53:07.760 or another.
00:53:09.800 So now that you've
00:53:10.940 made assumptions
00:53:12.820 about other people,
00:53:14.620 we're going to
00:53:15.800 talk about you.
00:53:17.220 Now this might have
00:53:17.920 more to do
00:53:18.480 with my audience.
00:53:20.100 Now here's what
00:53:20.700 I expect.
00:53:21.600 My audience
00:53:22.080 is more male 0.73
00:53:23.160 than female 0.91
00:53:23.700 by quite a bit
00:53:24.500 and more conservative
00:53:26.440 than Democrat
00:53:27.580 by quite a bit.
00:53:29.980 I would guess
00:53:30.860 that if I asked
00:53:31.920 the men
00:53:32.400 if you have
00:53:33.120 mental health
00:53:33.840 issues,
00:53:34.900 that most of you
00:53:35.900 would say no.
00:53:37.160 So I'm going
00:53:37.560 to ask that.
00:53:38.900 So because most
00:53:39.840 of you are men
00:53:40.360 and most of you
00:53:41.140 lean right,
00:53:42.400 how many of you
00:53:43.400 for yourself,
00:53:44.680 you're only going
00:53:45.200 to talk about
00:53:45.600 yourself,
00:53:46.420 do you have
00:53:47.380 mental health
00:53:48.600 issues?
00:53:50.940 Some yeses,
00:53:51.940 noes,
00:53:52.860 a lot of yeses.
00:53:54.500 Yep,
00:53:54.940 yep,
00:53:55.340 yep,
00:53:55.720 noes,
00:53:56.360 noes,
00:53:56.800 yes,
00:53:57.200 noes.
00:53:58.140 A lot more
00:53:58.600 yeses than I
00:53:59.200 expected.
00:53:59.920 But I'm not sure
00:54:00.480 we can know
00:54:01.740 what percentage
00:54:02.260 that is
00:54:02.680 because people
00:54:03.180 would be more
00:54:03.740 likely to say
00:54:04.320 yes if it is
00:54:04.980 yes.
00:54:06.200 A lot of yeses.
00:54:07.560 A lot of yeses.
00:54:08.940 Yeah,
00:54:09.200 and so here's
00:54:09.940 my take.
00:54:10.880 Even the people
00:54:11.600 who say they
00:54:12.140 don't,
00:54:13.480 they actually
00:54:13.900 do.
00:54:15.420 It's just
00:54:16.000 they have not
00:54:16.500 chose to define
00:54:17.340 it as a
00:54:17.780 problem yet.
00:54:19.020 They just
00:54:19.620 think it's
00:54:20.180 something else.
00:54:21.740 And,
00:54:22.240 yeah,
00:54:23.460 so the question
00:54:23.940 is what
00:54:24.280 percentage of
00:54:24.960 men who
00:54:26.400 are watching
00:54:26.920 right now
00:54:27.500 believe that
00:54:28.840 they themselves
00:54:29.480 have a mental
00:54:30.120 health issue
00:54:30.680 that's substantial.
00:54:33.920 Now,
00:54:35.020 of course,
00:54:35.900 I generalize
00:54:36.480 everything for
00:54:37.000 myself,
00:54:37.740 as the rest
00:54:38.260 of us do.
00:54:39.340 And I feel
00:54:40.640 like I'm
00:54:41.120 probably more
00:54:42.940 mentally strong
00:54:44.160 than just
00:54:46.000 about anybody.
00:54:47.700 And I don't
00:54:48.640 know if it's
00:54:49.100 because I'm
00:54:50.480 awesome or
00:54:51.080 just because
00:54:52.020 I'm old or
00:54:52.880 I've been shit
00:54:54.980 on more times
00:54:55.640 than other
00:54:55.920 people so I
00:54:56.480 got hardened
00:54:56.920 by it.
00:54:57.560 I don't know.
00:54:58.280 But it just
00:54:58.720 happens to be
00:54:59.180 my situation.
00:55:01.120 I feel I have
00:55:02.200 more mental
00:55:02.660 health than
00:55:03.320 most people.
00:55:04.220 And yet,
00:55:05.180 I feel like I'm
00:55:06.500 always on the
00:55:07.080 edge.
00:55:09.500 I mean,
00:55:09.700 think about
00:55:10.080 that.
00:55:10.880 I mean,
00:55:11.320 in a way,
00:55:12.260 I guess I'm
00:55:14.500 the exception
00:55:15.000 that could prove
00:55:15.620 a point.
00:55:16.540 In order to
00:55:17.260 be the exception
00:55:17.920 and to feel
00:55:18.660 that you have
00:55:19.120 basic,
00:55:20.160 solid mental
00:55:20.780 health,
00:55:21.900 in 2022,
00:55:23.300 you still feel
00:55:24.100 like you're
00:55:24.400 on the edge.
00:55:25.980 I still feel
00:55:26.940 like I'm
00:55:27.420 standing on
00:55:28.220 a ledge.
00:55:29.240 And the
00:55:29.800 ledge is
00:55:30.140 nice and
00:55:30.580 solid.
00:55:31.800 Like my
00:55:32.420 mental health,
00:55:33.200 I'm on a
00:55:33.660 good ledge.
00:55:34.840 But I feel
00:55:35.300 like insanity
00:55:36.460 is just like
00:55:37.060 one step.
00:55:38.940 Do you
00:55:39.160 have anybody
00:55:39.640 feel that?
00:55:40.960 That even
00:55:41.420 if you feel
00:55:41.900 like you're
00:55:42.260 in good shape
00:55:42.880 right now,
00:55:43.380 you're just
00:55:43.600 one step
00:55:44.960 away from
00:55:45.300 falling off
00:55:45.800 the ledge
00:55:46.260 into total
00:55:47.280 mental
00:55:48.680 torment
00:55:49.160 and complete
00:55:51.180 dissolving
00:55:52.820 of yourself.
00:55:55.480 So he
00:55:55.980 says move
00:55:56.340 out of
00:55:56.600 California?
00:55:57.540 Yeah,
00:55:57.720 maybe.
00:55:59.140 Maybe.
00:56:00.580 Now,
00:56:01.260 here's my
00:56:01.980 take on it.
00:56:02.800 I think
00:56:03.240 that society
00:56:04.000 has changed
00:56:05.180 with smartphones
00:56:05.940 and social
00:56:06.460 media and
00:56:06.860 stuff,
00:56:07.360 so it's
00:56:07.840 just unpleasant
00:56:08.500 to be alive.
00:56:10.520 That's what I
00:56:11.240 think.
00:56:11.800 I think it
00:56:12.300 is simply
00:56:12.720 unpleasant to be
00:56:13.560 alive.
00:56:13.900 If you
00:56:15.020 haven't
00:56:15.240 noticed what's
00:56:15.780 happened in
00:56:16.220 the dating
00:56:17.040 situation,
00:56:18.960 there's a
00:56:19.620 dating
00:56:19.920 holocaust 0.90
00:56:20.660 going on
00:56:21.380 that is
00:56:23.580 awful.
00:56:25.080 You don't
00:56:25.720 see it if
00:56:26.280 you're out of
00:56:26.640 the dating
00:56:26.980 game.
00:56:27.780 You don't
00:56:28.180 see it.
00:56:28.600 It goes
00:56:28.940 like this.
00:56:31.360 Everybody
00:56:31.880 who's above
00:56:32.560 a certain
00:56:33.060 level of
00:56:33.620 attractiveness,
00:56:35.620 it's pretty
00:56:36.260 high.
00:56:36.600 Let's say
00:56:37.220 we're going
00:56:37.660 to be cold
00:56:38.380 and callous
00:56:38.940 and say
00:56:39.640 if you're
00:56:40.840 an 8
00:56:41.440 or better
00:56:42.000 out of
00:56:43.160 10.
00:56:44.320 The people
00:56:44.820 who are
00:56:45.200 an 8
00:56:45.560 or better,
00:56:46.040 first of
00:56:46.320 all,
00:56:46.480 what percentage
00:56:47.080 of the
00:56:47.320 population
00:56:47.760 is an
00:56:48.200 8 or
00:56:48.660 better?
00:56:49.840 Not
00:56:50.280 much.
00:56:51.780 Not
00:56:52.240 much.
00:56:53.960 10%,
00:56:54.440 15,
00:56:55.640 tops,
00:56:56.180 yeah,
00:56:56.420 10%,
00:56:56.880 something like
00:56:57.200 that.
00:56:57.880 The top
00:56:58.380 10%
00:56:59.080 are
00:57:01.200 absolute
00:57:01.960 horrors.
00:57:02.520 Now,
00:57:05.820 you might
00:57:06.220 not notice
00:57:06.720 that if
00:57:07.660 you don't
00:57:08.880 know anybody
00:57:09.340 single,
00:57:10.380 but male
00:57:11.260 or female,
00:57:13.040 absolute
00:57:13.640 horrors,
00:57:15.400 complete
00:57:15.960 total
00:57:16.540 slots above
00:57:18.140 a certain
00:57:18.600 level of
00:57:19.140 attractiveness.
00:57:20.260 Now,
00:57:20.520 because I'm
00:57:20.980 not above
00:57:21.460 that level,
00:57:22.700 I only get
00:57:23.260 to hear
00:57:23.560 about it
00:57:24.100 from both
00:57:27.300 men and
00:57:27.760 women. 0.81
00:57:28.740 From both
00:57:29.300 men and
00:57:29.780 women. 0.81
00:57:30.880 And
00:57:31.080 they're
00:57:33.440 all with
00:57:34.120 multiple
00:57:34.440 partners
00:57:35.040 above a
00:57:36.280 certain
00:57:36.460 attractiveness.
00:57:38.000 Now,
00:57:39.120 here's what
00:57:40.700 the problem
00:57:41.040 is.
00:57:43.200 The people
00:57:44.220 who just
00:57:45.060 want to get
00:57:45.440 on a
00:57:45.720 dating app
00:57:46.340 and just
00:57:47.280 meet somebody
00:57:47.780 nice,
00:57:48.660 everybody's
00:57:49.260 trying to
00:57:49.540 find somebody
00:57:50.020 who's a
00:57:50.260 little better
00:57:50.600 than they
00:57:50.960 are.
00:57:52.160 But they're
00:57:52.740 not on
00:57:53.120 dating apps.
00:57:54.040 If you just
00:57:54.480 go to
00:57:54.720 match.com,
00:57:56.400 I'm going
00:57:56.840 to tell you
00:57:57.200 something.
00:58:00.080 I have to
00:58:00.740 turn off
00:58:01.100 YouTube
00:58:01.340 now.
00:58:02.140 So the
00:58:02.460 next part
00:58:02.860 is just
00:58:03.200 for the
00:58:03.640 locals
00:58:04.040 people.
00:58:04.740 But thank
00:58:05.080 you for
00:58:05.340 joining,
00:58:06.340 and I'll
00:58:06.760 talk to
00:58:07.140 you tomorrow.
00:58:07.480 Thank you.
