Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1811 Scott Adams： Fun Times Ahead. I Will Follow The Money And Tell You The Future

00:00:00.000 Da-da-da.

00:00:01.760 Da-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-da.

00:00:04.240 Ta-da!

00:00:05.640 Good morning, everybody.

00:00:07.520 Whoa, let me put my microphone on.

00:00:10.080 You can hear me and everything.

00:00:11.660 There you go. There you go.

00:00:14.300 It's all better now.

00:00:16.420 Now,

00:00:18.180 the book was called The Religion War.

00:00:20.220 That's an answer to the people on Locals

00:00:22.180 who asked the question.

00:00:23.480 But that's not why you're here. You're here because this is

00:00:25.940 the highlight of civilization

00:00:28.200 every single day.

00:00:30.000 And today, nothing but optimism.

00:00:32.880 Can you handle it?

00:00:34.560 Can you handle nothing but good news?

00:00:37.280 It's going to be like that.

00:00:38.400 We have entered the golden age.

00:00:41.300 And if you'd like to

00:00:42.660 take it up a notch and

00:00:44.160 join the dimension of

00:00:46.120 people vibrating just right,

00:00:48.900 all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank

00:00:51.040 or a glass of tank.

00:00:53.160 Hold on.

00:00:54.500 Take it here from the top.

00:00:56.120 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or a chalice of time,

00:00:58.320 a canteen, a jug and a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:00.460 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:01.360 I like coffee.

00:01:02.320 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day that makes everything better.

00:01:05.700 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:01:08.960 And it's amazing.

00:01:11.640 It's going to happen now.

00:01:13.300 Go.

00:01:21.520 Well, I was telling the people on the locals' platform before you joined here on YouTube and Spotify

00:01:27.160 that, well, first of all, I saw a news story that drinking three cups of coffee will make you live longer.

00:01:34.080 I haven't read it, but since the headline agrees with me, good enough.

00:01:39.600 That's the way I evaluate studies.

00:01:42.020 If you're trying to figure out which scientific studies to trust,

00:01:46.620 here's a good tip.

00:01:48.200 Trust the ones that confirm your suspicions

00:01:51.640 and reject everything else.

00:01:54.280 That's how I do it.

00:01:55.060 It's called science.

00:01:57.440 Well, what I was going to talk about is

00:01:58.940 I wrote a book back in 2004,

00:02:03.560 at least that's when it was published,

00:02:05.620 that was a prequel

00:02:06.640 to my book, God's Debris.

00:02:09.580 Now, some of you are saying,

00:02:10.980 ooh, my favorite topic.

00:02:13.340 And others of you are saying,

00:02:15.820 God's Debris?

00:02:17.040 That's a weird book.

00:02:18.120 I never knew a cartoonist wrote a book named that.

00:02:20.240 Well, if you don't know what I'm talking about,

00:02:22.960 it was written in 2001,

00:02:24.720 God's Debris was,

00:02:26.140 and it's still a worldwide phenomenon.

00:02:29.320 It's just that

00:02:30.100 there's a certain type of person who's reading it

00:02:34.080 and has ever since it came out.

00:02:36.100 And they formed almost like a secret society at this point,

00:02:39.640 like the people who have read that book.

00:02:42.320 And they talk to me about it all the time.

00:02:45.440 It's one of the biggest topics in my life.

00:02:47.240 This is weird, probably.

00:02:49.660 If you're familiar with my work,

00:02:53.360 it would probably sound weird to you

00:02:54.760 that one of the biggest topics people talk to me about

00:02:57.400 has nothing to do with Dilbert,

00:02:59.020 nothing to do with politics or Trump or any of that stuff.

00:03:02.640 It's a little book I wrote in 2001

00:03:04.800 called God's Debris.

00:03:07.040 Now, it can't be described.

00:03:09.460 You'd have to look into it.

00:03:11.720 It's beyond description.

00:03:13.540 But here's the funny part.

00:03:14.540 So I wrote a prequel

00:03:16.420 because God's Debris did so well.

00:03:20.160 And it got very little notice.

00:03:22.560 I don't remember why.

00:03:23.760 Maybe I didn't promote it or something.

00:03:26.620 And I called it a sequel,

00:03:28.180 but it was actually a prequel.

00:03:30.260 And I hadn't read it for 15 years myself.

00:03:34.620 So when Erica so nicely sent me a copy of my own book,

00:03:38.780 because I didn't have a copy,

00:03:39.760 I wanted to look at it,

00:03:41.860 but I didn't have a copy.

00:03:43.580 So Erica sent me a copy of my own book,

00:03:46.880 and I started reading it yesterday.

00:03:49.260 And it is way, way stronger than it was in 2004.

00:03:56.420 And the reason is that it held a number of predictions

00:04:00.100 about what was going to happen.

00:04:01.280 And the predictions are close enough to reality

00:04:04.720 that it's going to freak you out.

00:04:07.180 It freaked me out just reading it

00:04:08.640 because I didn't remember all the things I'd done.

00:04:11.300 And as I read it, I thought,

00:04:12.440 oh, geez, its relevance just increased.

00:04:17.020 So I might read it, I don't know,

00:04:19.180 I have the digital rights to it,

00:04:20.580 so I might read it into YouTube or Locals or something

00:04:23.820 at some point.

00:04:24.440 That was self-indulgent.

00:04:27.800 That had nothing to do with you whatsoever.

00:04:29.480 Why would you come here to listen to me talk about myself?

00:04:33.440 Here's the coolest news of the day.

00:04:35.860 NASA's Perseverance rover,

00:04:38.620 they've got a really clear picture

00:04:40.140 of something that's sitting on the Mars surface

00:04:43.480 right by the rover.

00:04:45.960 And it's a bundle of string.

00:04:51.480 Wait, what?

00:04:54.440 No, seriously.

00:04:56.060 It's a real, very clear picture

00:04:58.220 of a bundle of string.

00:05:01.120 I'm not making that up.

00:05:03.080 And do you know what NASA said

00:05:04.380 was the explanation?

00:05:08.840 The explanation was it was some kind of debris

00:05:11.280 that fell off the rover itself.

00:05:16.120 And so they say it's something about, you know,

00:05:17.900 the device itself.

00:05:20.160 Now, I'm no engineer,

00:05:22.920 but I'm trying to think

00:05:25.060 what could possibly fall off a spacecraft

00:05:28.020 that is also string.

00:05:33.060 Was there some point during the building of the rover

00:05:35.680 where they said,

00:05:37.020 hmm, we've been using rivets for this.

00:05:40.800 We've been using rivets.

00:05:42.480 But on this one component,

00:05:44.040 I think we should wrap it

00:05:45.440 with a string.

00:05:49.480 How in the world

00:05:50.440 is there any string

00:05:52.060 that's part of the rover?

00:05:54.520 Please.

00:05:55.400 Can anybody explain

00:05:56.580 how string

00:05:58.040 is part of any part of this?

00:06:00.700 Here's my theory.

00:06:03.000 As you know,

00:06:03.980 the moon landing was faked

00:06:06.180 with puppets.

00:06:08.200 Most of you know that by now, right?

00:06:09.680 The moon landing never really happened in 1969.

00:06:12.280 That was faked with puppets.

00:06:14.380 It was actually an elaborate puppet show.

00:06:17.220 And now I think we're seeing evidence

00:06:18.800 that the Mars rover is not real.

00:06:22.060 It has never been real.

00:06:24.220 Clearly, it's just another puppet show.

00:06:27.180 And one of the strings fell off the puppets

00:06:29.580 and then got captured on camera.

00:06:31.740 And now they're doing this scramble.

00:06:34.560 You know, NASA's like,

00:06:35.280 God, what are we going to do?

00:06:36.140 They got our string.

00:06:36.900 And so now they're trying to sell you

00:06:39.920 that some of your finest Mars missions

00:06:43.960 do involve a string

00:06:46.600 as part of an important part

00:06:47.940 of the engineering.

00:06:49.840 So note to Elon Musk,

00:06:52.620 note to Elon Musk,

00:06:53.560 if you're building rockets

00:06:54.600 to colonize Mars

00:06:56.040 and you have no string,

00:06:59.500 well, maybe you should work

00:07:01.000 on better materials

00:07:01.840 because this string

00:07:03.220 made it all the way to Mars.

00:07:04.980 It's good string.

00:07:06.900 So there's that story.

00:07:10.080 Are you noticing

00:07:11.360 that there's a sort of a,

00:07:13.400 oh, let's say a gap

00:07:15.460 or something missing

00:07:17.200 in the headlines

00:07:18.080 of some of the news,

00:07:19.620 but not all of it?

00:07:21.100 Because I looked on Fox News

00:07:22.720 and I saw this fairly,

00:07:24.700 what I would consider,

00:07:26.240 pretty major story of importance.

00:07:29.000 And then I looked for it

00:07:30.400 in other news sources.

00:07:31.700 I didn't see it.

00:07:32.700 I didn't see it.

00:07:33.320 Now, see if you can come up

00:07:35.640 with any kind of a theory

00:07:36.820 why this story,

00:07:38.780 which I believe is true,

00:07:40.320 looks like a true story,

00:07:41.880 why would it only be on Fox News?

00:07:45.960 Here's the story.

00:07:47.600 There was some kind of a shooting incident

00:07:49.840 not too long ago

00:07:50.700 in an Indiana mall,

00:07:51.900 and there was a fellow

00:07:55.020 named Elisha Dickens

00:07:57.020 who was in the restroom

00:07:58.880 when it all started

00:07:59.820 and he happened to be armed.

00:08:03.000 So he was just a customer

00:08:05.100 at the mall.

00:08:06.040 He did not have military

00:08:07.460 or police training,

00:08:09.360 but he was armed.

00:08:10.420 I guess he had a concealed weapon.

00:08:11.960 And he steps out of the restroom

00:08:15.320 to find that there's

00:08:16.360 a shooting in progress.

00:08:18.940 From a distance,

00:08:20.280 I didn't hear what the distance was,

00:08:22.780 from a distance,

00:08:24.580 this guy put 8 out of 10 shots

00:08:27.560 into the shooter

00:08:28.340 with a pistol.

00:08:30.360 From distance.

00:08:32.120 I don't know what the distance was,

00:08:34.300 but you don't have to get

00:08:35.320 too far away.

00:08:36.560 Somebody said 40 or 50 yards.

00:08:38.260 50 yards?

00:08:42.620 Are you serious?

00:08:44.620 40 yards.

00:08:46.760 All right,

00:08:47.160 trying to visualize that.

00:08:49.360 100 yards is a football field, right?

00:08:53.940 So,

00:08:55.220 40 yards of a 100-yard football field.

00:08:58.680 Do you think you could shoot somebody

00:09:00.180 8 out of 10 times

00:09:01.500 from 40 yards?

00:09:03.680 Somebody says feet?

00:09:06.500 I don't think it was feet.

00:09:08.860 If it was feet,

00:09:09.880 he would have been outgunned, right?

00:09:11.480 Because the guy had

00:09:12.100 two rifles and stuff.

00:09:14.360 40 yards?

00:09:14.940 All right.

00:09:15.320 But it was a good distance.

00:09:17.180 But here's the thing.

00:09:19.340 Apparently,

00:09:19.920 this guy was tactically correct.

00:09:22.060 Like,

00:09:22.500 he was getting bystanders

00:09:24.260 behind him,

00:09:24.980 and he was closed.

00:09:25.760 He closed.

00:09:26.820 He actually closed

00:09:27.800 on the shooter.

00:09:29.380 And here's the fun part.

00:09:31.360 He neutralized the shooter

00:09:33.100 with 8 out of 10 bullets

00:09:34.620 into the body of the shooter

00:09:35.880 in 15 seconds.

00:09:38.260 It took him 15 seconds

00:09:40.360 to leave the restroom,

00:09:42.840 assess the risk properly,

00:09:45.140 assess the risk properly,

00:09:47.180 and neutralize it

00:09:48.260 in 15 seconds.

00:09:50.600 Oh, my God.

00:09:53.320 Now,

00:09:54.620 how Republican was he?

00:09:58.400 I mean,

00:09:59.200 it's not reported.

00:10:00.820 Nobody reported

00:10:01.860 his political leanings.

00:10:03.100 but

00:10:04.020 how Republican was he?

00:10:06.500 Am I right?

00:10:08.580 I mean,

00:10:09.700 if we find out

00:10:10.420 it was a Democrat,

00:10:11.920 I will publicly,

00:10:13.500 you know,

00:10:14.760 embarrass myself

00:10:16.420 by saying,

00:10:16.940 well,

00:10:17.280 no,

00:10:18.960 I was totally wrong.

00:10:20.620 But if that guy

00:10:21.360 isn't a Republican,

00:10:22.320 I'll be amazed.

00:10:23.640 I'll be amazed.

00:10:24.380 And so I tweeted

00:10:25.680 that the safest place

00:10:27.380 in America

00:10:27.880 is next to an

00:10:28.720 armed Republican.

00:10:31.040 That's true,

00:10:32.040 isn't it?

00:10:33.100 The safest place

00:10:34.220 in America

00:10:34.780 is near

00:10:36.820 an armed Republican.

00:10:41.320 Now,

00:10:42.120 I suppose

00:10:44.300 January 6th

00:10:45.840 was a glaring

00:10:46.840 exception to that.

00:10:48.540 But generally speaking,

00:10:49.780 you couldn't be safer

00:10:51.920 than next to an

00:10:52.600 armed Republican.

00:10:55.560 So,

00:10:56.180 I mean,

00:10:56.480 that's a real thing.

00:10:59.440 All right,

00:11:00.200 here's a hypothetical

00:11:01.980 question for you.

00:11:03.900 I don't think

00:11:04.660 this is going to happen,

00:11:05.780 but just hypothetically.

00:11:07.520 Let's say

00:11:08.120 Trump runs for

00:11:08.920 re-election

00:11:09.380 and he wins

00:11:10.000 with 75%

00:11:11.400 of the popular vote.

00:11:12.620 Again,

00:11:12.900 it's not going to happen.

00:11:14.520 This is not a prediction.

00:11:16.200 But what if he did?

00:11:17.500 You know,

00:11:17.720 let's say

00:11:18.080 the other candidate

00:11:18.900 had some scandal.

00:11:19.780 It was just

00:11:21.220 a blowout.

00:11:24.260 At the end

00:11:25.060 of the election,

00:11:25.840 if Trump got

00:11:26.500 75% of the vote,

00:11:27.860 do you think

00:11:28.120 the Democrats

00:11:28.680 would say,

00:11:29.880 wow,

00:11:30.340 good race.

00:11:32.260 Nicely done.

00:11:34.080 Or,

00:11:34.740 do you think

00:11:35.140 that they would

00:11:36.220 say that the election

00:11:37.200 was rigged?

00:11:38.420 What do you think?

00:11:40.300 Do you think

00:11:41.040 they'd say

00:11:41.400 it was rigged

00:11:42.120 despite having

00:11:43.460 no court-certified

00:11:45.780 evidence?

00:11:48.080 I believe

00:11:48.880 they would.

00:11:50.100 Now,

00:11:50.740 let us predict

00:11:51.420 the future,

00:11:52.340 shall we?

00:11:53.500 What is the most

00:11:54.740 likely outcome

00:11:55.740 of Trump

00:11:56.700 in 2024?

00:11:58.480 The most likely outcome

00:11:59.800 is that he runs,

00:12:01.080 right?

00:12:02.020 I'm not predicting it yet.

00:12:04.940 I think things

00:12:05.800 could go either way

00:12:06.580 still.

00:12:07.700 But probably

00:12:08.900 Trump runs,

00:12:09.900 right?

00:12:10.900 Probably he runs.

00:12:12.060 So that's the most likely.

00:12:12.920 If he runs,

00:12:14.480 what is most likely

00:12:15.760 to happen

00:12:16.320 in terms of who wins?

00:12:18.380 He'll probably win,

00:12:20.080 don't you think?

00:12:21.800 I think he'll probably run

00:12:23.180 and he'll probably win.

00:12:25.780 Now,

00:12:26.340 what would the Democrats

00:12:27.340 say if that happens,

00:12:28.740 the most probable outcome?

00:12:31.520 They're going to say

00:12:32.360 the election was rigged,

00:12:33.560 aren't they?

00:12:34.700 And they're not going to have

00:12:35.840 any court-approved

00:12:37.300 evidence of it.

00:12:38.100 And I don't know

00:12:40.880 how much

00:12:41.400 I'm going to enjoy this,

00:12:43.180 but I'm already

00:12:44.280 getting ready for it.

00:12:46.020 Like,

00:12:46.320 I don't know

00:12:46.700 if there's a movie

00:12:47.440 or a TV show

00:12:48.340 I've ever wanted

00:12:49.000 to watch more

00:12:49.720 than the day after

00:12:51.120 the 2024 election

00:12:52.440 when the Democrats

00:12:53.820 are screaming

00:12:54.480 that the election

00:12:55.200 was rigged

00:12:55.920 and they need

00:12:56.940 more transparency

00:12:57.820 and they need

00:12:58.920 just a little bit

00:12:59.600 more time

00:13:00.140 to run some audits.

00:13:02.040 How much

00:13:02.840 are you going

00:13:03.340 to enjoy that?

00:13:05.860 It'll be glorious.

00:13:07.000 You remember

00:13:08.380 Elon Musk said

00:13:09.860 and I've said it as well

00:13:11.380 that for some reason

00:13:13.220 reality tends to trend

00:13:15.020 toward the most

00:13:15.760 entertaining outcome,

00:13:17.320 not to the participants

00:13:18.320 but to the observers.

00:13:21.520 Can you imagine

00:13:22.680 a more entertaining outcome

00:13:23.980 than Trump

00:13:25.180 reclaiming the presidency

00:13:26.440 and the Democrats

00:13:27.920 claiming the election

00:13:28.820 was rigged?

00:13:29.980 I can't.

00:13:31.080 I can't.

00:13:32.160 Not only would it be

00:13:33.280 the most entertaining,

00:13:35.080 it's also the most likely

00:13:36.800 probably there's

00:13:39.300 a solid

00:13:40.480 60% chance

00:13:43.020 that exact scenario

00:13:44.220 will happen,

00:13:44.740 don't you think?

00:13:45.940 Would you go with me

00:13:46.980 at 60%?

00:13:48.180 If you take

00:13:48.980 the entire chain

00:13:49.820 of probability

00:13:50.560 from Trump

00:13:52.400 probably running,

00:13:54.180 probably getting

00:13:55.000 the nomination,

00:13:56.620 probably winning

00:13:57.500 the general election,

00:13:59.240 probably the Democrats

00:14:00.600 will say it was rigged,

00:14:01.700 am I wrong?

00:14:03.460 There's at least

00:14:05.960 a 60% chance

00:14:07.500 that we're going to get

00:14:08.600 the most entertaining

00:14:09.420 outcome.

00:14:11.260 It's not even,

00:14:12.060 I wouldn't even say

00:14:12.980 it's the one I want,

00:14:14.640 but it's the most

00:14:15.740 entertaining.

00:14:19.040 We already have

00:14:19.940 video of them

00:14:20.440 saying it about

00:14:20.960 the 2016 election,

00:14:22.300 right?

00:14:22.880 So we know that

00:14:24.460 Dems said it

00:14:25.520 about 2016,

00:14:26.680 what would stop them

00:14:27.380 from saying it

00:14:27.960 about the next election?

00:14:29.560 Nothing.

00:14:29.760 So entertainment,

00:14:32.120 here we come.

00:14:33.260 It's coming.

00:14:37.300 Well,

00:14:38.340 as I've taught you,

00:14:40.260 you can predict

00:14:40.820 the future

00:14:41.240 by following

00:14:42.220 the money.

00:14:44.340 Follow the money.

00:14:45.400 And here's something

00:14:46.040 that you should have

00:14:46.740 seen coming,

00:14:47.680 and you should

00:14:48.840 continue to see coming.

00:14:50.120 And it goes like this.

00:14:51.280 I heard

00:14:51.740 Professor Scott Galloway

00:14:53.600 talk about this first.

00:14:54.880 But it's also

00:14:56.120 kind of a general

00:14:57.380 math-based

00:14:58.980 business concept.

00:15:00.660 It goes like this.

00:15:02.200 If you're a big company,

00:15:04.440 just like every company

00:15:05.680 that's public,

00:15:06.540 you have sort of

00:15:07.180 an obligation to grow,

00:15:08.980 right?

00:15:09.400 If you have stockholders,

00:15:11.020 they're kind of

00:15:11.600 expecting you to grow.

00:15:13.460 So in order to grow,

00:15:15.620 if you're a small company,

00:15:17.740 any new market

00:15:18.560 you get into

00:15:19.160 will help you grow.

00:15:20.360 But if you're

00:15:21.060 an enormous company,

00:15:22.480 like Amazon

00:15:23.200 or Apple,

00:15:24.740 you can't just say,

00:15:25.800 oh, I think

00:15:26.440 we'll make keychains.

00:15:27.460 Because

00:15:28.980 all the keychains

00:15:30.400 in the world

00:15:30.820 wouldn't make you

00:15:31.560 enough money

00:15:31.980 to move your big numbers

00:15:33.940 because you're starting

00:15:34.580 with such a big number.

00:15:36.440 So you have to enter

00:15:37.640 markets that are

00:15:38.720 already gigantic.

00:15:41.000 And there aren't

00:15:41.680 that many gigantic

00:15:42.640 markets left.

00:15:44.500 There's education,

00:15:46.780 which the private sector

00:15:48.660 is not really going

00:15:49.400 big on education,

00:15:50.400 but it's guaranteed

00:15:51.060 because it's such

00:15:52.240 a big market.

00:15:52.980 One of the big companies

00:15:53.780 has to take it on.

00:15:54.640 Self-driving cars.

00:15:57.980 All of the big companies

00:15:59.000 have to be there.

00:16:00.480 They all have to

00:16:01.100 because it's one

00:16:01.600 of the few things

00:16:02.620 that's so big

00:16:03.920 that it can move

00:16:05.100 their numbers.

00:16:07.380 But the other thing

00:16:08.080 is healthcare.

00:16:09.960 The big companies

00:16:10.900 that are not in healthcare

00:16:12.160 almost have to

00:16:13.960 get into it

00:16:15.060 because that's

00:16:15.740 where the money is.

00:16:16.820 There's nothing else

00:16:17.540 that has enough money

00:16:18.360 flowing around

00:16:18.980 that they can

00:16:19.980 really improve

00:16:21.360 their top revenue number.

00:16:23.220 And so we see

00:16:24.720 exactly what

00:16:25.620 you would predict.

00:16:26.840 So the Scott Galloway

00:16:28.160 prediction that

00:16:30.240 big companies

00:16:30.920 have to enter

00:16:31.500 big markets,

00:16:32.360 they have no choice.

00:16:33.800 They literally

00:16:34.300 have no choice.

00:16:35.740 So if you wonder,

00:16:36.620 was Amazon

00:16:37.460 going to go big

00:16:38.320 in the healthcare market?

00:16:40.340 Yes.

00:16:41.660 Yes.

00:16:42.420 Turns out they just

00:16:43.200 bought a big

00:16:45.180 healthcare provider

00:16:46.060 for $3.9 billion.

00:16:47.960 One medical.

00:16:49.200 So they're a primary

00:16:50.260 care provider.

00:16:51.180 So we're talking

00:16:52.600 about the actual

00:16:53.160 doctor who touches you.

00:16:55.380 So Amazon,

00:16:57.000 but the thing

00:16:57.900 that caught my attention

00:16:58.760 is the way

00:16:59.500 Amazon phrased this.

00:17:02.580 And by the way,

00:17:03.180 if you're not catching this,

00:17:04.100 this is one of the

00:17:04.680 biggest stories

00:17:05.220 in the world.

00:17:06.580 It just doesn't have

00:17:07.440 that people dying

00:17:09.000 part of it.

00:17:10.040 You know,

00:17:10.240 there's nobody dying.

00:17:11.780 So, you know,

00:17:12.440 it doesn't look

00:17:12.920 like a big story.

00:17:14.260 But it's big.

00:17:16.160 This is really big.

00:17:18.020 Let me just say

00:17:19.300 the way Amazon's

00:17:20.220 representative described it.

00:17:22.720 Quote,

00:17:23.200 we think healthcare

00:17:24.040 is high on the list

00:17:25.100 of experiences

00:17:26.440 that need reinvention.

00:17:28.360 Oh, here it comes.

00:17:30.040 Booking an appointment,

00:17:31.740 waiting weeks

00:17:32.540 or even months

00:17:33.200 to be seen,

00:17:34.420 taking time off work,

00:17:36.100 driving to a clinic,

00:17:37.680 finding a parking spot,

00:17:39.040 waiting in the waiting room,

00:17:40.120 then the exam room

00:17:41.040 for what is too often

00:17:42.260 a rushed few minutes

00:17:43.180 with a doctor,

00:17:44.060 then making another trip

00:17:45.260 to a pharmacy.

00:17:45.900 And they continue,

00:17:48.340 we see lots of opportunities

00:17:49.560 to both improve

00:17:50.400 the quality

00:17:50.880 and the experience

00:17:51.500 and blah, blah, blah,

00:17:51.940 give back time.

00:17:53.500 This is from

00:17:54.020 Amazon's SVP,

00:17:57.240 Neil Lindsay.

00:17:58.880 Now,

00:17:59.700 is that exactly

00:18:00.840 what you want to hear

00:18:01.620 from your big

00:18:02.380 American company?

00:18:04.400 That is exactly,

00:18:05.760 that is exactly

00:18:07.320 what I wanted to hear.

00:18:09.120 Because they didn't,

00:18:10.520 she didn't even say cost.

00:18:13.420 She didn't even say cost.

00:18:14.940 Or he,

00:18:16.960 he didn't even say cost.

00:18:20.000 It was about the experience

00:18:21.500 being completely broken.

00:18:23.700 And how often

00:18:24.560 have you had a conversation,

00:18:25.900 I had two of them this week,

00:18:28.140 where some just basic

00:18:29.920 health care stuff

00:18:31.140 couldn't get done.

00:18:32.540 No, three of them.

00:18:33.760 I think I've been in

00:18:34.480 three conversations this week.

00:18:37.020 Yeah, just this week,

00:18:37.940 three of them.

00:18:38.900 Where just the process

00:18:40.560 of getting health care

00:18:41.500 was just so broken

00:18:42.500 that a consumer

00:18:44.980 who was paying for it

00:18:46.260 couldn't get a basic feature.

00:18:49.060 Just the most basic thing.

00:18:51.100 And you're paying for it.

00:18:52.480 Like the whole system

00:18:53.260 is pretty fucked up right now.

00:18:54.960 And expensive, yes.

00:18:56.720 But that's not even

00:18:57.560 the big problem.

00:18:58.320 The big problem is

00:18:58.940 I can't get it.

00:19:00.700 The big problem is,

00:19:01.700 okay,

00:19:02.560 depends who you are.

00:19:04.060 If you have money,

00:19:05.500 the big problem

00:19:06.740 isn't the cost.

00:19:08.120 So you can't get it.

00:19:09.120 Like, I struggle

00:19:11.040 at my income level

00:19:12.760 to get basic

00:19:13.840 health care services.

00:19:16.000 I have to fight for it.

00:19:17.980 Like, I have Kaiser.

00:19:19.580 You know, it's an HMO.

00:19:21.240 And they have a set of rules.

00:19:23.380 And sometimes the rules

00:19:24.360 work well.

00:19:25.660 But lots of times

00:19:26.480 they don't.

00:19:27.720 They don't work for me

00:19:28.620 or other people.

00:19:29.580 So I'm like fighting

00:19:30.840 for health care

00:19:31.620 that I pay for.

00:19:33.120 Like, what are the rest

00:19:34.400 of you doing?

00:19:35.380 Right?

00:19:36.040 I mean, I'm in

00:19:36.640 a privileged situation.

00:19:38.120 I have money.

00:19:38.960 I've got health care, right?

00:19:40.120 Best situation you can be in.

00:19:41.660 And I've got to fight for it.

00:19:43.420 Like, they don't just say,

00:19:44.800 here's some health care.

00:19:45.600 Do you want it?

00:19:46.400 No, I've got to fight for it.

00:19:48.320 I've got to change policies.

00:19:49.960 I've got to get exceptions.

00:19:51.500 I've got to get

00:19:52.040 a doctor's approval.

00:19:54.820 What are the rest

00:19:55.520 of you doing?

00:19:56.700 I mean, Jesus.

00:19:57.820 Seriously.

00:19:59.320 I mean, I'm in

00:20:00.040 the best situation.

00:20:01.160 I can barely get

00:20:01.940 health care, it seems like.

00:20:03.480 Even when I pay for it.

00:20:05.140 So, when I see Amazon

00:20:06.760 saying, this thing

00:20:07.720 is just messed up.

00:20:08.680 We're going to go fix this?

00:20:10.200 The first thing I say is,

00:20:12.480 who better?

00:20:14.920 Seriously.

00:20:16.460 Who better?

00:20:18.700 No, nobody better.

00:20:20.380 Amazon is the very best

00:20:21.840 company you'd want

00:20:22.680 to see doing this.

00:20:23.420 Now, Apple, too,

00:20:25.360 apparently,

00:20:26.160 has also announced

00:20:27.740 they've got a 60-page

00:20:28.760 white paper

00:20:29.380 detailing how the

00:20:30.420 Apple Watch

00:20:31.880 will be connected

00:20:32.660 to their health care

00:20:33.600 efforts.

00:20:34.620 So, Apple is going

00:20:36.080 also big into

00:20:36.900 health care.

00:20:38.220 Who better?

00:20:39.940 Who better?

00:20:41.180 Right?

00:20:41.740 Amazon, right?

00:20:43.020 Amazon and Apple

00:20:43.920 just going big

00:20:45.100 on health care.

00:20:45.920 If you don't think

00:20:46.680 this is the biggest

00:20:47.320 story in the world,

00:20:48.160 it's bigger than

00:20:48.740 everything.

00:20:50.880 It's just that

00:20:51.380 it's all good news

00:20:52.140 and nobody died from it,

00:20:53.200 so you're not going

00:20:53.920 to hear much about it.

00:20:56.600 So, that's all changing.

00:20:58.800 Good news.

00:20:59.640 So, apparently,

00:21:03.880 even CNN is reporting,

00:21:06.020 now they're not making

00:21:06.800 a big deal of it,

00:21:07.740 but on their page,

00:21:09.000 they are reporting

00:21:09.700 that the cat is on the roof

00:21:12.400 when it comes to

00:21:13.560 Hunter Biden

00:21:14.220 and various charges

00:21:15.680 that would include,

00:21:17.840 let's see,

00:21:19.020 so there's still

00:21:19.460 being talking about

00:21:20.580 charges that would

00:21:21.560 include tax violations,

00:21:23.600 maybe false statements

00:21:25.360 and connections

00:21:26.080 with buying of firearms,

00:21:28.440 blah, blah.

00:21:28.720 And so,

00:21:30.740 we don't know

00:21:31.240 if there'll be

00:21:31.620 any charges for that,

00:21:32.740 but the investigators,

00:21:36.320 I guess the government

00:21:37.440 has sort of

00:21:38.040 an unwritten rule

00:21:39.320 that they don't like

00:21:40.140 to interfere

00:21:42.840 in politics.

00:21:44.840 So, the FBI,

00:21:46.620 for example,

00:21:47.640 would be less inclined

00:21:48.840 to prosecute

00:21:49.620 Hunter Biden

00:21:50.220 while there's

00:21:50.980 an election coming.

00:21:52.220 You know,

00:21:52.420 they might want to wait

00:21:53.360 so it doesn't bias

00:21:54.160 the election.

00:21:55.540 To which I say,

00:21:57.660 wait a minute,

00:21:58.720 isn't this supposed

00:22:00.320 to bias the election?

00:22:03.140 This is not the bias

00:22:04.400 you're supposed

00:22:04.840 to remove,

00:22:06.120 is it?

00:22:07.160 I feel like this is

00:22:08.280 the bias you're supposed

00:22:09.100 to insert.

00:22:11.420 Does it not make

00:22:12.420 the election,

00:22:13.460 let's say,

00:22:14.180 more credible

00:22:15.040 for us to have

00:22:16.580 more information

00:22:17.440 about what

00:22:18.800 Joe Biden did

00:22:20.240 or did not do

00:22:21.440 regarding China?

00:22:23.280 Wouldn't you like

00:22:23.940 to know if your

00:22:24.560 current president

00:22:25.300 is owned by China?

00:22:27.020 Or do you think

00:22:27.780 it would be good

00:22:28.760 to wait?

00:22:30.200 Ah, I wonder

00:22:31.540 if my current president

00:22:32.860 is in the pocket

00:22:34.380 of China.

00:22:35.580 There sure is

00:22:36.280 a lot of evidence

00:22:37.240 that he made

00:22:38.020 some deals

00:22:38.540 that would make

00:22:39.680 you suspect

00:22:40.440 that China has

00:22:41.600 some pretty good

00:22:42.520 blackmail material

00:22:43.540 on the president

00:22:44.260 of the United States,

00:22:45.100 but you know

00:22:45.820 what you should do

00:22:46.380 with that most

00:22:47.440 important information

00:22:48.580 that you could

00:22:49.180 ever have

00:22:49.760 about your president?

00:22:51.680 How about wait?

00:22:54.140 Ah, let's wait

00:22:55.780 a few years

00:22:56.400 and see how

00:22:56.740 it plays out.

00:22:59.040 What kind of

00:22:59.840 rule is that?

00:23:01.160 Like, I get

00:23:01.900 the general rule

00:23:02.900 that you don't

00:23:03.260 want to prosecute

00:23:04.180 and influence

00:23:05.020 the elections.

00:23:05.640 I get that.

00:23:06.440 And I get why

00:23:07.420 they would wait

00:23:08.400 to try to go

00:23:09.240 after Trump,

00:23:09.900 for example.

00:23:11.420 Now, if we were

00:23:12.080 talking about

00:23:12.560 the president himself,

00:23:14.280 maybe.

00:23:16.060 I'd say maybe wait.

00:23:17.800 But the president's

00:23:18.820 son?

00:23:20.060 What exactly

00:23:21.340 is the reason

00:23:22.300 for waiting

00:23:23.280 on that?

00:23:24.700 I'm not so sure

00:23:25.500 that makes sense,

00:23:26.320 does it?

00:23:31.060 Anyway.

00:23:34.380 And a CNN reporter

00:23:35.860 reveals there's

00:23:36.700 new details.

00:23:39.320 But they also

00:23:40.100 point out that

00:23:40.780 the Republicans

00:23:41.360 are definitely

00:23:42.140 going to look

00:23:42.540 into the

00:23:42.960 Hunter Biden

00:23:43.480 stuff when

00:23:44.020 they get power,

00:23:44.840 which they

00:23:45.140 probably will.

00:23:46.700 So do you

00:23:47.300 think that maybe

00:23:48.260 the Democrats

00:23:48.920 want to make

00:23:49.380 sure that the

00:23:49.900 investigation of

00:23:51.120 Hunter is

00:23:52.300 complete before

00:23:53.860 the Republicans

00:23:54.620 get power and

00:23:56.780 do it right?

00:23:59.520 See where I'm

00:24:00.320 going?

00:24:01.060 If you're going

00:24:01.800 to cover this

00:24:02.460 thing up,

00:24:02.920 you need to get

00:24:03.660 through the entire

00:24:04.320 process and finish

00:24:05.460 it before the

00:24:06.100 Republicans come

00:24:06.880 to power.

00:24:07.980 So what you

00:24:08.840 might be seeing

00:24:09.680 is the Democrats

00:24:12.540 trying to strategize

00:24:14.800 how to handle this

00:24:15.760 and discount it

00:24:17.480 before the election.

00:24:19.260 And they may need

00:24:20.440 to handle it

00:24:21.120 themselves before

00:24:21.960 the Republicans

00:24:22.640 do it, because

00:24:23.500 the Republicans

00:24:24.000 aren't going to

00:24:24.480 be so kind.

00:24:26.960 Yeah.

00:24:27.540 I think it's

00:24:28.020 going to be a

00:24:28.380 quick roll.

00:24:28.920 That's right.

00:24:30.780 You all saw the

00:24:31.740 story yesterday

00:24:32.420 that Joe Biden

00:24:33.560 announced he has

00:24:34.260 cancer.

00:24:36.320 Now, cancer

00:24:37.080 isn't funny,

00:24:38.220 except that I don't

00:24:39.200 think he has

00:24:39.720 cancer, so that's

00:24:40.520 funny.

00:24:40.760 How much did

00:24:45.780 you laugh about

00:24:46.420 that?

00:24:46.700 I couldn't stop

00:24:47.280 tweeting about it

00:24:48.300 because it was

00:24:48.720 just funny.

00:24:50.640 And so let's

00:24:51.940 start with, does

00:24:53.160 he have cancer?

00:24:54.520 I don't think so.

00:24:56.380 I don't think so.

00:24:57.640 Does anybody think

00:24:58.380 he actually has

00:24:58.940 cancer and that

00:25:00.600 it slipped out?

00:25:02.180 It could.

00:25:02.740 It's very possible.

00:25:04.320 Like, I wouldn't

00:25:04.920 rule that out, but

00:25:07.020 I doubt it.

00:25:08.000 Well, prostate

00:25:09.040 doesn't count.

00:25:10.020 Everybody is

00:25:10.500 that he has

00:25:10.860 prostate cancer.

00:25:12.560 You almost don't

00:25:13.420 count that one

00:25:14.000 because that's

00:25:14.400 like a slow

00:25:14.980 grower.

00:25:16.320 Skin stuff, blah,

00:25:17.560 blah, blah.

00:25:18.340 Yeah.

00:25:20.780 All right, so

00:25:21.440 here's my

00:25:21.900 prediction.

00:25:22.920 My prediction is

00:25:23.820 he doesn't have a

00:25:24.520 deadly cancer at

00:25:25.560 the moment.

00:25:26.780 Does anybody

00:25:27.120 disagree?

00:25:29.700 But he

00:25:30.200 definitely said

00:25:30.800 it.

00:25:31.400 He said it in

00:25:32.080 clear words, but

00:25:33.020 it looked like he

00:25:33.940 just maybe mixed

00:25:34.920 up something he

00:25:35.720 was reading on

00:25:36.200 the teleprompter,

00:25:37.080 something like

00:25:37.460 that.

00:25:38.160 And then the

00:25:38.780 White House tries

00:25:39.320 to cover it up by

00:25:40.140 saying it

00:25:40.480 had to do with

00:25:40.980 his past non-malignant

00:25:43.840 skin cancer stuff

00:25:45.400 being, pre-cancer

00:25:46.380 stuff being removed

00:25:47.340 as if that's what

00:25:48.840 he was talking

00:25:49.320 about.

00:25:50.540 And there was

00:25:51.100 oil on his

00:25:52.280 windshield from

00:25:53.000 the...

00:25:54.840 Every part of

00:25:56.000 this story was

00:25:56.600 hilarious.

00:25:59.180 And as I

00:26:00.940 tweeted, imagine

00:26:02.280 this story if

00:26:03.060 Trump had made

00:26:03.740 that little

00:26:04.880 flurb.

00:26:05.340 I think it

00:26:06.520 was just a

00:26:07.020 speaking

00:26:07.860 misstep.

00:26:09.800 Imagine if

00:26:10.500 Trump had

00:26:10.900 done that.

00:26:12.100 And imagine

00:26:12.520 if part of

00:26:13.000 the story

00:26:13.380 had been

00:26:13.720 the oil

00:26:14.220 on his

00:26:14.680 windshield.

00:26:16.300 The news

00:26:17.080 would have

00:26:17.380 said that

00:26:18.380 Trump claims

00:26:19.140 he got

00:26:19.520 cancer by

00:26:20.180 licking his

00:26:20.760 windshield.

00:26:22.040 That's what

00:26:22.300 they say.

00:26:23.020 They say,

00:26:23.480 Trump got

00:26:24.040 cancer from

00:26:24.700 licking his

00:26:25.260 windshield, he

00:26:25.880 claims.

00:26:26.920 That's what

00:26:27.360 they would have

00:26:27.760 said.

00:26:28.000 But they

00:26:32.600 got a

00:26:32.860 different

00:26:33.080 treatment.

00:26:34.300 All right,

00:26:34.660 so kudos

00:26:37.160 to Rand

00:26:38.020 Paul and

00:26:38.740 Cory Booker,

00:26:39.740 who apparently

00:26:40.700 are joining

00:26:41.560 forces with

00:26:42.340 a couple

00:26:42.580 other lawmakers

00:26:43.260 who I will

00:26:43.920 say their

00:26:44.260 names because

00:26:44.760 I'm going to

00:26:45.140 compliment them

00:26:45.860 to, let's

00:26:47.140 see, it's

00:26:47.540 also with

00:26:49.000 representatives

00:26:49.640 Earl Blumenauer,

00:26:52.140 Democrat, and

00:26:53.640 Nancy Mace,

00:26:55.180 Republican.

00:26:56.260 So these

00:26:56.760 four are

00:26:57.500 adding to

00:26:59.220 some existing

00:26:59.860 legislation,

00:27:01.360 laws giving

00:27:02.200 seriously ill

00:27:03.840 patients access

00:27:04.620 to Schedule

00:27:05.500 I drugs,

00:27:06.760 including

00:27:07.200 marijuana and

00:27:07.920 psychedelics like

00:27:08.780 psilocybin and

00:27:09.720 MDMA.

00:27:11.420 Now, thank

00:27:13.600 you.

00:27:14.660 Just thank

00:27:15.180 you.

00:27:16.400 All right, so

00:27:16.840 Cory Booker,

00:27:18.140 somebody he,

00:27:19.100 I have mixed

00:27:19.940 feelings about

00:27:20.440 Cory Booker.

00:27:21.680 I don't think

00:27:22.480 he's quite

00:27:22.960 present material,

00:27:24.760 but he's

00:27:26.020 pretty awesome

00:27:26.560 in a lot of

00:27:27.000 ways.

00:27:27.500 And, yeah,

00:27:29.200 I mean, and

00:27:31.360 I think this

00:27:32.360 is a case

00:27:32.920 where Rand

00:27:33.980 Paul and

00:27:34.480 Cory Booker

00:27:35.040 are just

00:27:35.480 doing something

00:27:36.060 for the

00:27:36.460 country.

00:27:37.160 What do

00:27:37.620 you think?

00:27:39.120 It's hard

00:27:39.840 for me to

00:27:40.880 see this as

00:27:41.520 a political

00:27:42.080 positive for

00:27:43.000 either one of

00:27:43.540 them.

00:27:44.460 Like, I love

00:27:45.200 them.

00:27:45.520 I love

00:27:45.960 them for

00:27:46.240 doing it.

00:27:47.600 So, but I

00:27:48.580 don't know

00:27:48.840 that this

00:27:49.200 would overall

00:27:49.960 help them

00:27:50.500 in an

00:27:51.580 electoral way.

00:27:52.740 I don't feel

00:27:53.460 like either of

00:27:54.080 them is going

00:27:54.520 to be bragging

00:27:55.220 that up as

00:27:56.380 part of

00:27:56.660 their

00:27:56.800 accomplishments

00:27:57.300 because there

00:27:57.780 are too

00:27:57.960 many people

00:27:58.420 who are

00:27:58.620 scared of

00:27:59.240 the whole

00:28:00.440 drug-related

00:28:01.360 space.

00:28:01.860 I don't see

00:28:03.000 this as being

00:28:03.820 politically

00:28:04.780 motivated.

00:28:06.020 Am I wrong?

00:28:07.360 I mean, maybe

00:28:08.060 that's naive that

00:28:08.900 everything's politically

00:28:09.820 motivated because

00:28:10.600 they're politicians.

00:28:11.220 But this just

00:28:12.660 doesn't have the

00:28:13.340 smell of it,

00:28:13.980 does it?

00:28:14.400 I mean, for

00:28:15.040 one thing, it's

00:28:15.560 bipartisan.

00:28:20.640 So, am I

00:28:21.420 right that we

00:28:22.140 could, can

00:28:25.080 you turn on

00:28:25.540 slow mode?

00:28:26.280 I don't know

00:28:26.560 what that

00:28:26.740 means.

00:28:28.980 Is there a

00:28:29.540 slow mode for

00:28:30.100 the comments?

00:28:31.340 Is that what

00:28:31.740 you're saying?

00:28:34.460 Is that a

00:28:35.040 thing?

00:28:35.680 I'm just

00:28:36.140 looking at

00:28:36.500 YouTube.

00:28:37.000 Somebody said

00:28:37.440 turn on slow

00:28:38.180 mode.

00:28:38.560 Do the

00:28:38.780 comments have

00:28:39.300 a slow

00:28:39.660 mode?

00:28:39.960 I don't

00:28:40.140 think that's

00:28:40.500 a thing.

00:28:41.840 It's not a

00:28:42.380 feature, is

00:28:42.800 it?

00:28:43.580 Yes?

00:28:44.420 Maybe.

00:28:44.840 All right, I'll

00:28:45.200 look into

00:28:45.480 that.

00:28:49.180 But I would

00:28:50.080 just like to

00:28:50.640 say publicly

00:28:51.300 thank you to

00:28:52.500 Cory Booker

00:28:53.700 and Rand

00:28:54.240 Paul and

00:28:55.100 Mason

00:28:56.120 Blumenauer

00:28:56.820 because to

00:28:57.840 me it looks

00:28:58.320 like they're

00:28:58.700 doing a

00:28:59.100 non-political

00:28:59.780 thing that

00:29:00.220 is simply

00:29:00.620 good for

00:29:01.260 the world.

00:29:02.540 And

00:29:02.740 probably,

00:29:03.520 I'm just

00:29:03.980 guessing,

00:29:05.120 I'll bet

00:29:05.480 they all had

00:29:05.960 some personal

00:29:06.580 experience with

00:29:08.100 something, some

00:29:08.900 loved one, some

00:29:09.840 family relative or

00:29:10.940 something, because

00:29:11.840 this looks

00:29:12.300 legitimate to

00:29:13.020 me.

00:29:14.320 When was the

00:29:15.000 last time I

00:29:15.560 said, here's a

00:29:16.160 story in the

00:29:16.640 news where

00:29:17.060 everybody's acting

00:29:18.120 appropriately, they're

00:29:20.380 acting according to

00:29:21.400 science, they're

00:29:22.520 bipartisan, and

00:29:23.480 they're just doing

00:29:24.000 something that's good

00:29:24.880 for America?

00:29:26.420 When was the last

00:29:27.500 time I told you

00:29:28.180 that?

00:29:28.560 Ever?

00:29:29.600 Ever?

00:29:31.140 So let's give

00:29:32.820 these guys a big

00:29:33.480 hand.

00:29:34.200 Now, I don't even

00:29:34.720 know if they'll be

00:29:35.180 successful if their

00:29:36.660 attempt at legislation

00:29:38.400 will get through, I

00:29:39.280 don't know, but the

00:29:40.360 fact that they're

00:29:40.880 even doing this is

00:29:42.660 like, you know, big

00:29:43.460 standing ovation for

00:29:44.500 both of them, all

00:29:45.260 four of them,

00:29:45.760 actually.

00:29:47.140 All right, somebody

00:29:48.160 came after me on

00:29:49.100 Twitter again for,

00:29:50.800 you know, allegedly

00:29:51.740 defending Bill Gates,

00:29:53.180 but I, but here's the

00:29:55.080 only thing I'm going to

00:29:55.920 defend.

00:29:57.220 I don't defend his

00:29:58.160 personal life, that's

00:29:59.540 up to him.

00:30:00.880 I just, I can't stand

00:30:02.920 people telling me he's

00:30:04.420 in it for the money.

00:30:06.180 I just can't handle it.

00:30:07.500 Because that's so

00:30:09.140 obviously not true that

00:30:10.920 I just don't know what

00:30:11.600 to do.

00:30:11.900 It just makes my head

00:30:12.620 explode.

00:30:13.540 What could be more

00:30:14.280 obviously not true that

00:30:17.180 he's not in it for the

00:30:18.080 money?

00:30:18.860 He's developing toilets

00:30:20.340 for Africa.

00:30:22.120 Do you think that was

00:30:22.720 like at the top of his

00:30:24.200 making money list?

00:30:26.200 Don't think so.

00:30:27.520 He's literally giving

00:30:28.680 his money away.

00:30:31.300 Do you think he has a,

00:30:32.400 has anybody ever made

00:30:33.560 money through massive

00:30:34.580 philanthropy?

00:30:35.100 Can you think of one

00:30:37.360 example where somebody

00:30:39.080 gave away his money

00:30:40.300 aggressively and made

00:30:41.700 money because of it?

00:30:43.720 No.

00:30:45.300 Please stop saying that

00:30:46.460 he's in it for the

00:30:47.140 money.

00:30:48.540 Now, others are saying

00:30:50.020 he's in it for the

00:30:50.700 power.

00:30:52.920 I don't know.

00:30:54.120 Doesn't look like it.

00:30:55.600 If Bill Gates was in it

00:30:56.820 for the power, is this

00:30:58.520 the way he'd do it?

00:31:00.680 Is that the way he'd do

00:31:01.700 it?

00:31:01.880 If you're the, at some

00:31:03.340 point he was like richest

00:31:04.260 person in America, do

00:31:05.660 you think the richest

00:31:06.280 person in America would

00:31:08.120 try to get power by

00:31:11.020 inventing toilets for

00:31:12.720 Africa?

00:31:14.060 That's how he's doing

00:31:14.940 it?

00:31:15.600 Trying to cure malaria?

00:31:19.680 I don't think so.

00:31:21.580 I think he would just buy

00:31:22.600 politicians the way

00:31:23.620 anybody else does.

00:31:25.200 Wouldn't he?

00:31:25.860 He would just buy a

00:31:26.560 politician.

00:31:27.340 And I'm not, have you

00:31:28.460 ever heard that Bill Gates

00:31:29.600 owns a particular

00:31:30.520 politician?

00:31:31.060 There are a lot of

00:31:33.100 people who are owned by

00:31:33.900 billionaires, but I

00:31:34.700 haven't heard of him

00:31:35.200 owning one.

00:31:36.160 He's like the only name

00:31:37.120 I haven't heard in that

00:31:37.860 context.

00:31:39.120 I don't think it could be

00:31:40.560 more obvious that he's not

00:31:42.880 in it for the money.

00:31:44.700 And look at the way he

00:31:45.800 presents himself in public.

00:31:48.320 Do you think his interest

00:31:49.360 isn't looking good to you?

00:31:52.960 Is there anything about the

00:31:54.800 way Bill Gates operates that

00:31:56.700 tells you that his real

00:31:58.120 interest is how you think of

00:31:59.780 him?

00:32:00.960 Everything suggests it's

00:32:02.080 the opposite.

00:32:03.380 He doesn't even dress or

00:32:05.660 exercise or present himself

00:32:08.000 in any way that suggests

00:32:10.360 he's like real interested in

00:32:11.980 the narcissistic perceptions

00:32:13.820 of himself.

00:32:15.740 Now, what about philanthropy

00:32:17.620 in general?

00:32:19.000 Do you think he's doing

00:32:20.000 philanthropy because it's

00:32:21.820 rehabilitating him and that's

00:32:23.540 the reason he's doing it?

00:32:25.060 I don't know.

00:32:25.720 I can't read his mind.

00:32:26.640 But I will tell you that he

00:32:28.320 said, way before he became

00:32:30.820 a philanthropist, he said

00:32:32.360 that the second part of his

00:32:33.440 life was going to be giving

00:32:35.060 away his money.

00:32:36.760 And then he did it.

00:32:38.560 And he would be probably one

00:32:39.900 of the most effective

00:32:40.800 philanthropists because he

00:32:42.980 puts in the work to figure out

00:32:44.060 where the money makes the most

00:32:45.040 difference.

00:32:46.160 Now, why is it that anybody

00:32:48.360 hates him?

00:32:49.300 And what do you think he would

00:32:50.280 do if he bought up a bunch

00:32:51.340 of farmland?

00:32:54.040 There is no scenario in which

00:32:56.920 he can make money from the

00:32:58.080 things he's doing.

00:32:59.820 Like, one exception would be

00:33:01.860 nuclear energy.

00:33:03.640 I do believe that he could

00:33:05.020 make money in Gen 4 nuclear

00:33:06.920 energy if that's the thing

00:33:08.060 that takes off.

00:33:09.080 But he's not really the guy

00:33:10.560 who would make that kind of

00:33:11.520 play.

00:33:12.500 That would just be one of his

00:33:13.580 investments.

00:33:14.460 He's got to be doing that for

00:33:15.700 social reasons.

00:33:16.540 It wouldn't make sense to put

00:33:20.660 that much money in one

00:33:21.760 company, I don't think.

00:33:23.300 If he were betting on nuclear

00:33:24.940 in general, he'd probably

00:33:25.940 spread his money around.

00:33:27.160 Maybe he has.

00:33:27.820 I don't know.

00:33:29.620 But for power reasons.

00:33:33.040 So if you think that Gates is

00:33:37.860 going for power, like his own

00:33:40.520 personal power, then you have

00:33:43.020 to explain why he's doing it

00:33:44.240 the wrong way.

00:33:46.540 And it would be obvious what

00:33:47.680 the right way is, which is just

00:33:49.320 buy some politicians, fund some

00:33:51.560 organizations, the usual way.

00:33:54.000 Does Soros, you know, you don't

00:33:55.720 see George Soros inventing any

00:33:57.300 toilets for Africa, right?

00:34:00.780 He doesn't need to.

00:34:03.240 He just buys organizations.

00:34:06.180 So if you told me that Bill Gates

00:34:09.440 funded some organization and

00:34:11.920 through it he wanted power, I'd

00:34:13.240 say, well, look at that.

00:34:14.280 But if you look at the whole

00:34:16.060 portfolio of what he's doing,

00:34:17.380 there isn't, okay, let's say

00:34:19.360 you go.

00:34:20.640 Let's say Bill Gates is doing it

00:34:22.240 for ego.

00:34:24.160 Do you have a problem with that?

00:34:26.860 Oh, I cured malaria, but I don't

00:34:29.460 get any credit because I just did it

00:34:30.860 to look good.

00:34:32.780 No.

00:34:34.180 That's not how it works.

00:34:35.960 You let him get that credit.

00:34:37.380 But, you know, I label myself a

00:34:41.540 grandiose narcissist.

00:34:44.900 There are a couple of different

00:34:45.680 kinds of narcissists.

00:34:47.080 There's one that's just all bad.

00:34:49.740 The grandiose kind is just trying to

00:34:51.840 get credit for doing good stuff.

00:34:54.080 But they actually try to do good

00:34:55.620 stuff.

00:34:56.480 They're not just lying.

00:34:57.880 They're trying to actually do some

00:34:59.300 good stuff.

00:34:59.820 So when you see me trying to, you

00:35:02.680 know, take any credit for

00:35:03.780 something, it's because I'm trying

00:35:05.260 to do some good stuff.

00:35:07.280 Right?

00:35:08.400 That's not a crime.

00:35:10.480 All right.

00:35:12.180 So I will publicly debate anybody who

00:35:14.660 wants to embarrass themselves by

00:35:16.760 saying that they know so little about

00:35:18.700 how business works that they think

00:35:20.800 what Bill Gates is doing, the

00:35:22.720 portfolio of what he's doing, is to

00:35:24.860 make money.

00:35:26.200 You would have to, well, let me

00:35:27.600 challenge you to this.

00:35:28.960 I challenge you to find anybody

00:35:30.780 with an MBA who holds that

00:35:33.040 opinion.

00:35:34.220 Somebody who has a master's in

00:35:36.160 business, somebody who understands

00:35:37.420 business models, how to make money.

00:35:39.700 Here's your challenge.

00:35:40.980 Find anybody with an MBA, so that

00:35:43.260 would suggest a lot of business

00:35:45.180 education, at least, if not

00:35:47.220 experience.

00:35:48.200 Find anybody with an MBA who agrees

00:35:50.220 with you that he's in it for the

00:35:51.400 money.

00:35:52.500 And if you say the tax write-offs,

00:35:54.240 you really need to talk to somebody

00:35:55.820 who knows what business is.

00:35:57.020 No, you can't make money on tax

00:35:59.540 write-offs.

00:36:01.240 You can only lose less.

00:36:03.700 You can't make money with tax

00:36:05.460 write-offs.

00:36:06.200 That's not a thing.

00:36:09.220 All right.

00:36:13.380 So the Panda Tribune, a Twitter

00:36:16.940 account you should probably follow.

00:36:18.660 So just look for the Panda Tribune.

00:36:21.740 Did a cool analysis of Musk and his

00:36:25.580 purchase of Twitter and what his best

00:36:27.940 options are and what.

00:36:29.400 And the bottom line is that Musk is

00:36:31.580 playing this correctly.

00:36:34.040 So his backing out of the deal and

00:36:37.740 then going to court over it, et cetera,

00:36:40.040 is the right play, no matter how it

00:36:43.100 turns out.

00:36:43.880 So he's played the odds correctly.

00:36:45.400 And here's the argument.

00:36:46.120 Let's say that

00:36:49.580 let's say that

00:36:52.440 let's say that Musk has to pay the

00:36:53.420 $1 billion breakup fee.

00:36:56.940 It's still better than buying a company

00:36:59.100 that used to be worth, you know, he was

00:37:00.940 going to pay $54 billion, but now it's

00:37:02.760 worth only $44 billion, the stock price.

00:37:05.760 So it's better to lose a billion than to

00:37:09.540 waste all that difference between what it's

00:37:11.420 actually worth and what he was actually

00:37:13.780 going to pay, you know, $10 billion or

00:37:15.260 something.

00:37:16.540 So it definitely makes sense to walk away.

00:37:19.420 But here's the thing that's that the

00:37:22.120 Panda Tribune adds.

00:37:23.940 And I've always believed this would be the

00:37:26.780 obvious way things would go, but I don't

00:37:28.180 think I've ever said it.

00:37:29.940 So tell me if I've ever said this in

00:37:32.060 public.

00:37:33.920 The leaders of Twitter have a fiduciary

00:37:37.200 responsibility to get the best deal for

00:37:39.380 Twitter.

00:37:40.200 They can't walk away from the best deal.

00:37:42.180 If there's only one offer for Twitter, and

00:37:47.500 it's Musk, nobody else is offering, that's

00:37:49.640 important.

00:37:50.400 If there's only one offer, and he says he's

00:37:53.620 going to walk away and pay the $1 billion, he

00:37:55.920 hasn't said that, but if he did, what should

00:37:59.380 the Twitter leadership do to do their best job

00:38:04.380 for the stockholders?

00:38:06.100 They should renegotiate the purchase price.

00:38:08.380 And they should try to get something that's

00:38:10.920 between the $54 that he offered, and he's

00:38:13.080 walking away from, and the $44 that it's

00:38:17.000 worth.

00:38:18.260 So if Twitter is smart, they'll make him an

00:38:20.520 offer that's somewhere in the middle.

00:38:23.000 He will have saved, let's say, $5 billion by

00:38:27.380 not paying the highest price.

00:38:29.880 They will have done better than they could

00:38:31.840 have done before.

00:38:32.600 Or, Biden has COVID?

00:38:38.320 Somebody's shouting that Biden has COVID.

00:38:40.060 That's not a news event, is it?

00:38:41.960 That's just somebody shouting that?

00:38:44.300 Oh, it's a news?

00:38:45.200 Oh, it's just announced.

00:38:47.100 Oh, okay.

00:38:48.640 Huh.

00:38:50.540 So, Biden has COVID.

00:38:53.520 I don't know if that means anything.

00:38:55.740 I mean, even at his age, he'll probably be

00:38:57.580 fine, right?

00:38:58.640 He's all boosted and whatever.

00:39:00.140 Interesting.

00:39:03.240 All right.

00:39:03.540 Well, we'll find out more about that.

00:39:08.540 So anyway, it looks at this point that the

00:39:10.840 most likely, if you follow the money, the

00:39:13.300 most likely outcome is that Twitter and

00:39:16.660 Musk will walk away from the current deal,

00:39:19.020 but they will keep negotiating, because

00:39:21.920 there might be a price where they can make

00:39:24.000 the deal.

00:39:24.800 But I don't know that they'll ever be able

00:39:26.480 to make the deal unless they reveal

00:39:28.480 they're bought traffic.

00:39:30.140 So maybe a future deal would have more teeth

00:39:35.660 about proving the bots or something.

00:39:39.400 But the bottom line is that Musk will come

00:39:43.720 out ahead by walking out of the deal.

00:39:46.260 Like, under every scenario, Musk comes out

00:39:48.580 ahead by challenging the deal.

00:39:50.840 Even if he loses a billion dollars, it's

00:39:52.560 better than the alternative.

00:39:53.340 So it looks like Trump is going to be hit with

00:39:59.920 some Rupar videos today by the January 6th

00:40:02.920 people.

00:40:03.780 And by that, I mean outtakes that don't show

00:40:05.960 the full context.

00:40:07.560 And here's how CNN is trying to frame this in

00:40:10.800 advance.

00:40:11.360 So they're prepping you for this.

00:40:12.920 So Adam Schiff and all the usual people that you

00:40:18.940 don't trust are saying, oh, this is going to be

00:40:21.800 really bad.

00:40:22.700 Wait till you see these outtakes.

00:40:24.740 And what they're saying is that there'll be

00:40:26.720 significant, quote, I think Schiff said this,

00:40:32.400 significant in terms of what the president was

00:40:34.620 willing to say and what he wasn't willing to say.

00:40:36.940 What's that mean?

00:40:39.600 So you're going to be shocked by this bombshell

00:40:41.900 that Schiff tells you will be significant.

00:40:45.880 OK, that's general.

00:40:47.560 In terms of what the president was willing to say

00:40:49.780 and what he wasn't willing to say.

00:40:52.200 In other words, they have video of him saying

00:40:55.940 things he wanted to say, but they don't have

00:40:58.620 video of him saying the things he didn't want

00:41:01.180 to say.

00:41:02.960 I think he said nothing, right?

00:41:04.680 It would be significant, that's general,

00:41:08.980 because he wanted to say things and what?

00:41:12.680 So if you read this quickly, it sounds like

00:41:14.840 he's telling you that there's a bombshell coming.

00:41:17.460 But if you read the actual words, there's nothing

00:41:19.220 there.

00:41:20.100 There's just nothing there.

00:41:22.200 And here's what's going to happen.

00:41:26.100 They're going to show these, and here's what

00:41:28.200 they're warning us we will see on these outtakes.

00:41:31.480 You're going to see Trump arguing that he

00:41:34.420 wants to characterize the January 6th protesters

00:41:37.160 as patriots.

00:41:39.320 Oh, no.

00:41:40.960 I didn't see that coming.

00:41:43.340 Bombshell.

00:41:45.080 That's right.

00:41:46.620 Trump wanted to characterize the protests

00:41:49.400 as patriots.

00:41:52.720 Because that's what they are.

00:41:54.960 They could be wrong.

00:41:57.700 They could be wrong about why they were there.

00:42:02.520 But they were patriots.

00:42:05.220 They are.

00:42:06.260 Even the ones in jail.

00:42:08.320 Even the ones that got violent.

00:42:10.500 They were violent.

00:42:11.800 They need to answer for that.

00:42:14.460 But they were patriots.

00:42:16.460 That was the only reason anybody was there,

00:42:18.580 was being a patriot.

00:42:20.020 There was no other reason.

00:42:21.560 No other reason.

00:42:22.300 It was just that.

00:42:24.600 And CNN's reporting that that's like suspicious.

00:42:28.660 Isn't that kind of suspicious that you think

00:42:30.540 all the patriots are called patriots?

00:42:33.180 Why would you call the patriots patriots?

00:42:35.680 Suspicious.

00:42:37.860 The other thing, the other bombshell,

00:42:40.040 is that, what is it?

00:42:42.620 There was some other claim that was like

00:42:46.960 as innocuous as that.

00:42:53.280 All right.

00:42:53.940 Whatever it is.

00:42:55.020 But there are going to be two claims

00:42:57.220 that are absolutely empty.

00:42:59.580 But they're selling us,

00:43:00.880 they're gaslighting us

00:43:01.840 that something's happening

00:43:02.760 while proving to us simultaneously

00:43:05.140 that nothing's happening.

00:43:06.920 They're going to show us nothing

00:43:08.300 and then talk about it

00:43:10.640 like it was something.

00:43:13.280 And it will work.

00:43:14.820 Because it just worked right in front of you.

00:43:16.820 Adam Schiff just talked about literally nothing

00:43:19.000 but made it sound like you saw something.

00:43:22.660 Oh my God, the bombshell.

00:43:25.160 Oh.

00:43:26.180 As regarding the thing

00:43:27.520 about the significance of the importance

00:43:30.300 of the bombshell of the shocking news.

00:43:32.260 All they've done is that

00:43:34.660 they've got rid of all the content now

00:43:36.380 and all they do is the shocking words.

00:43:40.780 Okay, Mr. Schiff,

00:43:42.120 can you give us your read on today's events?

00:43:44.760 Well, it's a shocking, shocking news

00:43:47.940 of a significant event.

00:43:49.340 It's going to be a bombshell.

00:43:51.000 I think you'll be shocked and appalled

00:43:53.080 at the bombshell shocking events

00:43:55.240 that are significant.

00:43:58.820 All the content is gone.

00:44:00.220 All the content is gone.

00:44:03.540 And they can still sell it without the content.

00:44:07.100 Because it was never about the content, was it?

00:44:09.800 If you can sell it without the content,

00:44:13.060 well, that should tell you something.

00:44:14.900 It was always about the feeling.

00:44:16.400 It was never the content.

00:44:19.960 All right.

00:44:24.160 Here's some new news.

00:44:26.700 My favorite story of the day.

00:44:28.280 53%, this is a Rasmussen poll.

00:44:34.240 53% of Democrat voters say

00:44:36.500 Hillary Clinton should not run for president again in 2024.

00:44:41.380 You would not be surprised

00:44:42.940 that Republicans and independents

00:44:44.480 agree by a larger number.

00:44:46.860 But 53% of Democrats don't want Hillary Clinton.

00:44:51.740 Okay.

00:44:53.740 But is it worse?

00:44:54.940 Yes, it's worse than that.

00:45:00.900 CNN reports,

00:45:02.680 and by far this is the most entertaining part of the news.

00:45:05.500 Like, you wouldn't notice it

00:45:06.620 unless you dug in a little bit

00:45:07.840 to get the really funny part.

00:45:09.640 But this is CNN's reporting.

00:45:12.100 They have their own poll

00:45:13.280 in which they say

00:45:15.280 the biggest shifts

00:45:16.360 are that Democrats and independents

00:45:19.840 stopped believing in the credibility

00:45:23.080 of our elections.

00:45:24.980 Now, let me say that again.

00:45:26.720 You probably said,

00:45:27.420 did you think I misspoke?

00:45:29.980 Since 2021,

00:45:31.840 there's been a big shift

00:45:34.400 in the public's belief

00:45:36.420 about the credibility of the election.

00:45:38.800 The shift is that Democrats

00:45:40.420 went from largely believing elections

00:45:42.680 were credible

00:45:43.320 to not.

00:45:47.460 Democrats.

00:45:48.020 Did you think I said it wrong again?

00:45:50.740 Did you think I said,

00:45:51.860 did you think I meant Republicans

00:45:53.580 when I said that?

00:45:54.680 No, let me say it again clearly.

00:45:56.660 Democrats,

00:45:57.940 I'll give you the numbers.

00:46:00.760 In early 2021,

00:46:02.540 this is CNN's reporting.

00:46:03.880 Remember,

00:46:04.640 this is important.

00:46:06.100 This is CNN.

00:46:06.800 All right.

00:46:09.260 In early 2021,

00:46:10.740 90% of Democrats

00:46:11.960 said they were at least somewhat confident

00:46:13.920 that elections reflected

00:46:15.240 the will of the people.

00:46:16.140 In one year,

00:46:19.440 they went from 90% of Democrats

00:46:21.160 saying that the elections were valid.

00:46:24.600 What do you think that is now

00:46:25.780 for Democrats?

00:46:27.640 Did you think I misspoke

00:46:28.940 and said when I met Republicans?

00:46:31.960 No, I'm only talking Democrats.

00:46:33.580 Only Democrats.

00:46:35.180 Went from 90% thinking

00:46:36.820 they trusted the election

00:46:37.940 to currently 57%.

00:46:41.000 57%.

00:46:44.540 Democrats.

00:46:47.180 In one year,

00:46:49.000 Democrats went from 90%

00:46:50.680 trusting their own election

00:46:51.900 to 57%.

00:46:55.120 And they won.

00:46:58.040 They won the election.

00:47:00.700 Did I mention that they won?

00:47:03.280 And they went from 90...

00:47:05.280 I don't even know

00:47:06.260 what to say about this.

00:47:07.280 What do you think?

00:47:13.300 I have a hypothesis.

00:47:16.220 And it goes like this.

00:47:18.620 The January 6th hearings

00:47:21.220 are making Democrats

00:47:22.420 trust elections less.

00:47:27.260 I'll tell you why.

00:47:29.540 It's a hypnosis theory.

00:47:31.300 And they had not thought this through.

00:47:33.680 They did not think it through.

00:47:34.980 Let me give you an example.

00:47:39.660 You've heard this example before.

00:47:42.160 Don't think of an elephant right now.

00:47:44.560 Don't do it.

00:47:45.980 Don't do it.

00:47:46.880 Don't think of an elephant.

00:47:48.240 Do not think of a giant

00:47:49.620 pachydermen with big ears

00:47:51.040 and a trunk.

00:47:53.120 That's my elephant impression.

00:47:54.920 Don't do it.

00:47:56.980 How do you do?

00:47:58.440 Did you succeed

00:47:59.220 in not thinking about that elephant?

00:48:00.880 Okay.

00:48:01.060 So the first rule of hypnosis is you can't not think about things.

00:48:06.660 If it's in your face, you're thinking about it.

00:48:09.220 You can't unthink things.

00:48:11.120 So that's the first rule.

00:48:12.560 Thinking's automatic.

00:48:14.780 Second rule is your opinion of what matters is what you hear about the most,

00:48:20.800 not because it matters the most.

00:48:23.680 What you think matters the most is just what you hear about.

00:48:27.080 Ah, I keep hearing about that.

00:48:28.200 That must matter.

00:48:28.680 That must matter.

00:48:29.140 What did the January 6th hearings do?

00:48:32.780 Well, the logical point to them was to make a logical case that Republicans are bad people.

00:48:40.660 There was a political show trial.

00:48:42.720 Still is.

00:48:45.300 But that's a concept.

00:48:48.160 Do people remember concepts?

00:48:50.860 Yeah, I mean, if you gave them a test on it later, they might get the right answer.

00:48:54.780 But they really remember how you make them feel.

00:48:59.140 And so this is what the January 6th event has done.

00:49:04.220 Those elections were not rigged.

00:49:06.820 The elections were not rigged.

00:49:09.140 The elections were not stolen.

00:49:10.320 All of those many, many, many claims of evidence of elections are not real.

00:49:15.400 Those 2,000 mules didn't go to those drop boxes.

00:49:19.740 All you hear, all you hear, all you hear is that the elections are sketchy.

00:49:26.480 No matter how many times they tell you that the Republicans are wrong or lying about the

00:49:31.260 elections, what you hear is, why are we talking about elections being sketchy?

00:49:38.260 We're still talking about elections being sketchy, right?

00:49:40.880 I just woke up today and it's a new day and Democrats are still talking about elections being sketchy.

00:49:49.820 Now, the concept is they're blaming other people.

00:49:53.460 But it feels like all they're talking about is elections being unreliable.

00:49:58.160 Now, here's the payoff.

00:50:02.240 What happened to Republican opinion about the reliability of the 2020 election or elections in general?

00:50:09.820 I think it's elections in general.

00:50:13.500 Republican confidence in the elections went up in the same period.

00:50:18.080 It went from low, right?

00:50:28.940 It was 23% were confident after the Trump experience in 2020.

00:50:34.460 But it's up to 29%.

00:50:36.360 So Republicans have watched the same news and by a smaller margin, but they've come to be convinced,

00:50:44.640 okay, maybe we're in better shape than I thought.

00:50:48.080 Right?

00:50:49.080 Because the news showed the Republicans that no courts had found anything and time goes by

00:50:55.080 and, you know, all these crazy Kraken claims didn't come through.

00:50:58.700 Some number of Republicans just said, well, you know, I had my questions, but maybe I'll release on that for now.

00:51:06.880 So am I wrong that that's the best hypothesis for what's happening?

00:51:11.840 Because I don't know what else would be happening.

00:51:13.700 If CNN is nonstop, in MSNBC, nonstop telling their base that the elections are fine, how do you explain it?

00:51:24.920 How do you explain a gigantic drop in confidence of the Democrats when their own side just keeps telling them everything is fine?

00:51:31.900 It's got to be the hypnotist thing, right?

00:51:35.300 It's got to be just that the topic itself is poison, because you can't talk about election fraud all day long and then have people think there is none.

00:51:45.680 So the entire thing is about, look at all this smoke.

00:51:49.860 Oh, look at all this smoke.

00:51:51.360 There's no fire there.

00:51:52.680 Oh, look at this other smoke.

00:51:54.700 Well, it's very smoky.

00:51:56.500 It's very smoky.

00:51:57.520 But every time we look for the source of the smoke, it's not there.

00:52:00.460 But did I tell you how smoky it is?

00:52:02.160 Well, there's another smoke.

00:52:04.220 Oh, there's some more smoke.

00:52:05.480 But so far, all the smoke we've found is nothing.

00:52:07.940 But boy, there's a lot of smoke.

00:52:09.380 Am I selling my point?

00:52:14.380 I don't know that this is what's going on, but it looks like they sold the opposite of what they were selling.

00:52:20.260 Right?

00:52:23.420 At least you have to throw my hypothesis into the mix.

00:52:27.660 At the very least, it's a high possibility that this worked just the way it should have worked.

00:52:34.180 If you had asked me what would be the likely outcome of this, and somehow you could describe it to me before it happened,

00:52:41.240 I would have said, whoa, I don't know if you want to spend so much time talking about the thing you said didn't happen.

00:52:49.300 Why does Russia collusion persist?

00:52:53.640 Russia collusion persists in the minds of Democrats, not because they followed the case and found that it wasn't true.

00:53:01.340 They still believe it because they heard it so many times.

00:53:05.040 That's it.

00:53:06.380 If you say Russia collusion enough times, it doesn't matter if the outcome was there was none.

00:53:11.900 It matters that you heard it a lot.

00:53:14.300 So why would that be any different?

00:53:16.620 The Democrats are basically a heard it a lot machine.

00:53:20.540 You say the same thing over and over again, and they just hear it.

00:53:24.480 Right?

00:53:24.640 So the problem with the allegations of the election rigging are that the people making the allegations were the Republicans.

00:53:35.900 If the situation was that the allegations were being made by the Democrats,

00:53:41.700 then giving attention to the allegations, even if they're false, is a good play.

00:53:46.380 Because you're just giving attention to the thing you want to give attention to.

00:53:49.040 But they made a big mistake by giving attention to a Republican claim.

00:53:55.200 So you can't talk about it being false without talking about it.

00:53:58.520 They claim the election is rigged.

00:54:00.140 They claim the election is rigged.

00:54:01.320 They claim the election is rigged.

00:54:03.760 I think they convinced their own base that the election was rigged.

00:54:10.520 Yeah, it's directly from my book.

00:54:12.880 Right.

00:54:13.080 I mean, what I'm saying now is from my book on this same topic.

00:54:15.840 It's not like I made it up now to, you know, fit the facts to it or something.

00:54:20.380 I've been saying this for a long time.

00:54:22.360 It's a well-understood concept, right?

00:54:24.340 Nothing new here.

00:54:27.300 All right.

00:54:30.620 I love CNNs, the way they gaslight with words.

00:54:35.780 So they've been saying that Republicans claim 2020 was rigged,

00:54:41.340 and then they use this phrase,

00:54:43.900 despite the lack of evidence.

00:54:46.320 Do you think that's a true statement?

00:54:49.320 That their claim is the election,

00:54:53.540 that people are saying the election in 2020 was rigged,

00:54:57.120 quote,

00:54:57.700 despite the lack of evidence.

00:55:00.520 Well, it turns out that the word evidence can be used in two ways.

00:55:05.120 I had to check just to be sure.

00:55:07.300 One way is that evidence is used sort of interchangeably with proof.

00:55:15.840 That's one definition.

00:55:18.420 And in that case,

00:55:19.460 the evidence is not really evidence,

00:55:21.440 like it's not actual evidence,

00:55:23.320 unless it actually supports the truth.

00:55:25.780 So by that definition,

00:55:26.940 it wouldn't be evidence if it was just misleading.

00:55:29.800 So misleading evidence wouldn't be evidence.

00:55:31.860 It would just be something misleading by that definition.

00:55:34.580 So they can use evidence and proof sort of interchangeably.

00:55:39.160 And the English language allows them to do that.

00:55:42.100 Do you know what else the English language allows you to do?

00:55:44.980 It allows you to treat the word evidence as not being proof.

00:55:49.540 So the word could go either way.

00:55:52.860 Evidence can mean proof,

00:55:55.260 or lack of proof when they say no evidence.

00:55:57.720 Or it could mean the opposite.

00:56:00.400 And since the public can't tell the difference,

00:56:02.720 they could get away with that.

00:56:04.120 But they've stretched that somewhere.

00:56:08.980 They've stretched it to,

00:56:10.740 despite the lack of evidence,

00:56:12.700 so that part they get away with

00:56:14.080 because of the gray area of the word evidence,

00:56:15.800 but then they go all the way to this.

00:56:18.880 Despite that,

00:56:20.000 Trump continues to push the, quote,

00:56:23.060 falsehood that the election was stolen.

00:56:26.540 He's pushing the falsehood.

00:56:30.420 Falsehood?

00:56:31.460 How do you know something's false?

00:56:34.140 Because you proved it?

00:56:36.700 That's not a thing.

00:56:39.100 All you know is you don't have proof that it's true.

00:56:43.960 It's not a falsehood.

00:56:45.200 So when CNN labels this a falsehood,

00:56:47.900 that's just a lie.

00:56:50.200 It's just a lie.

00:56:51.040 It's a lie that could be true,

00:56:52.980 because nobody knows,

00:56:54.980 because we don't have an auditable,

00:56:56.420 fully auditable system.

00:56:58.400 But, yeah,

00:57:00.520 it's like they do these little word tricks

00:57:02.780 to move you from a gray area word evidence

00:57:05.980 that could be taken either way,

00:57:08.460 all the way to falsehood

00:57:10.140 that can't be taken either way.

00:57:12.400 So you see the verbal trickery

00:57:15.720 where they can get you from a maybe word

00:57:17.540 to a definite word

00:57:18.520 and make you not notice the difference.

00:57:21.460 It's very clever.

00:57:24.000 All right.

00:57:27.180 Here's a question

00:57:28.160 that also might get to

00:57:29.780 why the Democrats are

00:57:31.860 maybe having little differences of agreement

00:57:35.720 about January 6th.

00:57:36.400 And let me put this out there.

00:57:45.140 Democrats don't like Republicans.

00:57:47.800 Are you with me so far?

00:57:49.160 Generally speaking.

00:57:50.680 Democrats are not lovers of Republicans

00:57:53.200 in sort of a general way.

00:57:55.020 Lots of exceptions.

00:57:55.720 And wouldn't you say

00:57:59.360 that Democrats are always looking

00:58:01.840 for the worst spin

00:58:03.100 to put on whatever Republicans are doing?

00:58:05.200 And vice versa.

00:58:06.440 You know, Republicans are looking

00:58:07.440 at the worst spin

00:58:08.320 to put the Democrats in.

00:58:10.140 That's our general situation, right?

00:58:13.360 But let me ask you this.

00:58:15.460 Do you think there are any Democrats

00:58:17.440 who are under the impression

00:58:19.640 that any Republicans are not patriots?

00:58:23.140 Do you think?

00:58:26.900 Even if their Democrats

00:58:28.440 don't like Republicans,

00:58:30.360 do you think that they believe

00:58:31.440 that they're not patriots?

00:58:34.100 I don't think so.

00:58:36.360 I think that they think

00:58:37.380 that Republicans are dumb.

00:58:39.240 They think Republicans

00:58:40.120 are anti-science.

00:58:41.900 They think Republicans are, you know,

00:58:43.380 immoral for various reasons, whatever.

00:58:45.720 That's all true.

00:58:47.040 But do you think that anybody,

00:58:48.860 like even one, even one,

00:58:51.620 do you think there's even one

00:58:52.640 Democrat anywhere

00:58:53.460 who believes that Republicans

00:58:55.440 are not patriots,

00:58:58.460 meaning that they're country first?

00:59:01.040 I don't think so.

00:59:03.000 Right?

00:59:05.580 I think they...

00:59:06.620 Now, you see rhetoric

00:59:08.140 that says that they don't,

00:59:09.460 but I think that's just

00:59:10.520 Twitter rhetoric, right?

00:59:11.520 That's just trolls.

00:59:12.660 The average Democrat

00:59:13.880 does believe

00:59:15.680 that the average Republican

00:59:16.980 cares about the Constitution

00:59:19.060 even more than self

00:59:22.040 sometimes.

00:59:23.720 So how does the average Democrat

00:59:25.380 explain

00:59:26.080 all of these patriots

00:59:28.580 marching on January 6th?

00:59:32.060 It's a little hard

00:59:32.960 to explain to yourself,

00:59:33.960 isn't it?

00:59:34.860 Because no matter

00:59:35.760 what they think

00:59:36.660 about these people,

00:59:38.280 you have to go

00:59:39.600 pretty far

00:59:40.600 into crazy land

00:59:41.680 to imagine

00:59:42.860 that they're not patriots,

00:59:44.240 at least in terms

00:59:45.540 of their internal thinking.

00:59:47.220 They could be wrong.

00:59:48.720 They could be patriots

00:59:49.540 who have bad information.

00:59:51.560 They could be patriots

00:59:52.580 within the group,

00:59:54.560 some of them criminal.

00:59:56.320 That's all possible.

00:59:58.000 But I don't think

00:59:58.820 there's any Democrat

00:59:59.620 who really believes,

01:00:00.960 like in a private moment.

01:00:02.780 Do you think

01:00:03.060 there's any Democrat,

01:00:04.220 like a serious person,

01:00:05.400 not a troll,

01:00:06.780 but a serious person,

01:00:07.900 who thinks that

01:00:08.960 the Republicans

01:00:11.020 are not patriots

01:00:12.260 at the base?

01:00:17.320 Somebody said

01:00:18.020 Bill Maher believes that.

01:00:19.100 I don't know.

01:00:19.980 You think he does?

01:00:21.380 I'll bet not.

01:00:22.620 I don't know

01:00:23.140 what he said,

01:00:24.240 but I'll bet

01:00:24.660 if you talk to him privately,

01:00:26.700 you said,

01:00:27.160 all right, Bill,

01:00:28.380 do you seriously think

01:00:29.420 that Republicans

01:00:30.040 in general

01:00:31.240 are not really

01:00:33.260 patriot-oriented,

01:00:34.820 like protect the Congress,

01:00:36.340 you know,

01:00:36.540 protect, not Congress,

01:00:37.840 protect the Constitution?

01:00:39.640 I don't think

01:00:40.360 they think that.

01:00:41.160 So I think

01:00:41.740 there's something

01:00:42.340 that's bugging Democrats

01:00:44.060 that's unspoken.

01:00:47.000 And I think

01:00:47.840 that something

01:00:48.360 is they know

01:00:48.980 they're being gaslighted,

01:00:50.340 but they don't know

01:00:51.020 exactly what's going on.

01:00:53.480 I feel like Democrats

01:00:55.220 have to have

01:00:56.800 some suspicion

01:00:57.560 that the most basic

01:00:59.320 thing about Republicans,

01:01:00.760 that they're patriots first,

01:01:02.920 seems to be

01:01:04.200 opposite of what

01:01:05.440 the January 6th

01:01:06.800 hearings are trying

01:01:07.720 to present.

01:01:08.180 and I don't know

01:01:10.580 how they can't

01:01:11.840 notice that.

01:01:14.000 You could notice

01:01:15.000 a lot of things,

01:01:16.380 but you couldn't

01:01:17.160 notice that.

01:01:18.640 Now, I didn't ask

01:01:19.940 my, quote,

01:01:21.000 Democrat friend,

01:01:22.220 who I often mention,

01:01:23.720 I did not ask him

01:01:25.500 that question,

01:01:26.540 because it didn't occur

01:01:27.300 to me until recently.

01:01:28.920 Because, you know,

01:01:29.780 one of the things

01:01:30.520 I wanted to do

01:01:31.140 was,

01:01:31.540 excuse me,

01:01:34.200 I wanted to make

01:01:36.400 a list of things

01:01:37.460 you would have

01:01:38.040 to believe

01:01:38.780 in order to agree

01:01:40.600 with your own team.

01:01:41.960 And it could work

01:01:42.600 for both Democrats

01:01:43.380 and Republicans.

01:01:45.080 So one of the things

01:01:46.060 you would have to believe

01:01:47.000 to believe the

01:01:47.760 January 6th

01:01:48.880 situation

01:01:50.380 is you would have

01:01:51.100 to believe

01:01:51.480 that our elections

01:01:52.940 are both transparent,

01:01:55.420 fully auditable,

01:01:57.200 and that we can do

01:01:58.160 it somewhat instantly.

01:01:59.100 Am I right?

01:02:01.880 You would have

01:02:02.260 to believe that,

01:02:03.180 otherwise asking

01:02:04.260 for more information

01:02:05.640 about the audit

01:02:06.440 would make perfect sense.

01:02:08.700 It wouldn't look

01:02:09.240 like any kind

01:02:09.760 of a crime,

01:02:11.100 unless you thought

01:02:11.920 it had already

01:02:12.340 been done

01:02:12.780 or could easily

01:02:13.340 be done,

01:02:14.120 you know,

01:02:14.680 that sort of thing.

01:02:17.780 But here's another thing.

01:02:19.680 In order for you

01:02:20.380 to believe

01:02:20.740 the January 6th

01:02:21.720 narrative,

01:02:22.740 as a Democrat,

01:02:23.620 you would have

01:02:24.020 to believe

01:02:24.480 that Republicans

01:02:25.280 are only fake patriots,

01:02:27.580 that they're only

01:02:28.100 pretending to be patriots,

01:02:29.840 but what they really want

01:02:31.020 is their dictator

01:02:31.840 in power.

01:02:34.580 That you'd have

01:02:35.300 to believe that

01:02:35.980 in order to believe

01:02:36.820 any of the narrative.

01:02:38.440 Because what I believe

01:02:39.480 is that there's not

01:02:40.660 a Republican alive

01:02:41.940 who would have let

01:02:42.820 Trump stay in office

01:02:44.200 if he had lost.

01:02:47.060 That's what I believe.

01:02:48.760 Now,

01:02:49.200 that's an exaggeration.

01:02:50.160 There would always be

01:02:50.720 some lawyer or something

01:02:51.620 who says,

01:02:51.980 yeah,

01:02:52.180 stay there.

01:02:53.220 There would always

01:02:53.840 be somebody.

01:02:54.740 But let's only

01:02:55.300 back that up

01:02:56.000 to less of an absolute,

01:02:57.620 because it just

01:02:58.120 makes people crazy

01:02:58.940 when I talk in absolutes.

01:03:00.200 And probably should.

01:03:01.260 I try to avoid it.

01:03:03.140 Yeah.

01:03:06.620 Yeah,

01:03:07.100 I just think Democrats

01:03:08.040 probably are noticing

01:03:09.720 that there's something

01:03:10.540 fishy about the

01:03:11.400 January 6th thing.

01:03:13.660 Probably.

01:03:16.060 All right.

01:03:17.160 So unless something changes,

01:03:18.660 your future looks like this.

01:03:20.840 Trump wins the election,

01:03:22.340 and the Democrats

01:03:23.140 throw away

01:03:24.480 everything they believed,

01:03:25.920 or they say

01:03:27.340 they believe

01:03:27.820 right now.

01:03:28.820 And they say,

01:03:29.480 these elections,

01:03:30.220 we'd better fix these

01:03:31.160 because they don't

01:03:31.780 look reliable now.

01:03:33.680 Now,

01:03:33.940 of course,

01:03:34.220 what they're going to say

01:03:34.860 is that the vote

01:03:35.540 was suppressed.

01:03:38.260 And

01:03:38.660 I'm sure

01:03:40.460 that'll be the thing.

01:03:43.900 They're finally waking up.

01:03:45.740 Maybe a little bit.

01:03:51.120 All right.

01:03:51.720 Am I wrong

01:03:56.160 that all the news

01:03:56.960 looks good?

01:03:58.800 So the stock market

01:03:59.960 was up yesterday.

01:04:01.020 I think the futures

01:04:01.760 were down,

01:04:02.680 so it's probably down today.

01:04:04.720 Is the market down?

01:04:06.280 Let's take a look.

01:04:09.500 The market is

01:04:10.340 down.

01:04:11.960 Yeah,

01:04:12.360 it's almost flat.

01:04:14.560 Some up,

01:04:15.340 some down.

01:04:16.500 Kind of flat.

01:04:17.340 Something happened

01:04:21.540 with Tesla.

01:04:26.180 Cartoonist says

01:04:26.900 Biden getting COVID

01:04:27.820 is good news.

01:04:28.860 That's more like

01:04:29.440 a nothing news.

01:04:32.060 Scott,

01:04:32.640 are you buying crypto?

01:04:33.880 No.

01:04:34.700 No.

01:04:35.280 No,

01:04:35.720 I'm not a crypto investor.

01:04:39.100 I'm a crypto diversifier.

01:04:42.780 Slight difference.

01:04:44.060 All right.

01:04:44.380 You could argue

01:04:44.940 that's not different.

01:04:45.680 But I would never

01:04:47.000 invest in a crypto.

01:04:49.080 I would only

01:04:49.880 hold some of the big ones

01:04:51.420 just in case.

01:04:52.860 You know,

01:04:53.400 a little bit

01:04:54.120 in your portfolio

01:04:54.800 just in case.

01:04:55.940 You never know.

01:04:56.820 In case civilization

01:04:57.980 falls apart

01:04:58.700 and you just

01:04:59.920 got to have a Bitcoin

01:05:00.760 for something.

01:05:05.400 Your dad

01:05:06.240 grew up with Biden

01:05:07.200 and never heard

01:05:07.880 of the oil

01:05:08.380 on the windshield.

01:05:11.380 Biden's hair sniffing

01:05:12.460 finally caught up with him.

01:05:13.540 He got COVID.

01:05:14.300 He caught COVID

01:05:16.160 from a little girl's hair.

01:05:20.000 Tessa,

01:05:20.500 valuation way off the mark.

01:05:22.040 I don't know

01:05:22.320 what that means.

01:05:25.400 If you have to look

01:05:26.300 at your stock every day,

01:05:27.480 then you shouldn't have it.

01:05:29.880 That's a good rule.

01:05:31.320 My rule is

01:05:32.100 I look at my stocks

01:05:32.960 every day

01:05:33.440 the market is up.

01:05:35.260 And every day

01:05:35.860 the market is down,

01:05:36.640 I don't look at them.

01:05:38.260 Because looking at it

01:05:39.260 is only to make you

01:05:40.380 feel good or bad.

01:05:41.280 It doesn't have

01:05:41.720 an investment purpose.

01:05:43.400 Which is the point.

01:05:45.000 The point is

01:05:45.640 you should buy them

01:05:46.300 and hold them.

01:05:47.460 So when I look at them

01:05:48.320 it's just purely

01:05:48.940 for psychological gain.

01:05:51.060 So when they're up

01:05:51.680 I look at them.

01:05:52.380 When they're down

01:05:52.880 I don't look at them.

01:05:53.820 That's my advice.

01:05:56.960 Yeah.

01:05:57.400 Look at it

01:05:57.700 for the entertainment value.

01:05:58.740 Exactly.

01:05:59.140 That's perfectly good.

01:06:00.100 Oh, Bill Gates

01:06:02.980 shorting Tesla.

01:06:04.880 So Bill Gates

01:06:05.520 shorted Tesla?

01:06:08.260 What?

01:06:09.020 So what?

01:06:10.820 I don't know.

01:06:11.560 Does that tell me anything?

01:06:13.140 Aren't there a lot of people

01:06:14.020 shorting Tesla?

01:06:16.180 I think that's a

01:06:17.080 that's not like

01:06:18.300 an obscure position.

01:06:21.080 Oh, they have some

01:06:22.040 billionaire battle.

01:06:23.040 Yeah.

01:06:25.960 The US Open

01:06:26.980 confirms Novak

01:06:28.140 can't play

01:06:28.860 unless he's vaccinated.

01:06:30.100 Seriously.

01:06:33.660 Wow.

01:06:35.560 Really?

01:06:37.340 I thought we were past that.

01:06:39.200 But it looks like

01:06:39.800 it looks like

01:06:40.520 COVID's coming back, right?

01:06:50.320 You wonder if Biden

01:06:51.460 is going to be taken out

01:06:52.480 because of the COVID?

01:06:54.140 Now, let me ask you this.

01:06:55.500 If Biden gets

01:06:56.680 long COVID

01:06:57.620 but won't tell me

01:07:03.240 what it is.

01:07:04.580 Yeah.

01:07:06.360 If

01:07:06.800 if Biden gets

01:07:08.020 long COVID,

01:07:08.820 he's not going to be

01:07:09.760 capable.

01:07:12.180 At what point

01:07:13.080 does Kamala Harris

01:07:13.940 have to take over?

01:07:16.000 Now, if you've not had

01:07:17.500 if you've not had COVID

01:07:18.960 or if you've not

01:07:20.400 had a bad case

01:07:21.140 like I did,

01:07:22.540 you don't know

01:07:23.700 how bad this is.

01:07:24.740 Can I get

01:07:26.200 an amen

01:07:26.680 from anybody

01:07:27.420 who had COVID

01:07:28.040 and says

01:07:28.840 I wouldn't want

01:07:29.660 to be president

01:07:30.260 with this shit

01:07:30.860 in my head?

01:07:32.960 Right?

01:07:33.300 How many of you

01:07:34.140 think you could have

01:07:34.960 made presidential

01:07:35.700 decisions

01:07:36.380 under COVID?

01:07:38.220 I couldn't.

01:07:40.380 My decision making

01:07:41.520 was absolutely

01:07:42.520 degraded.

01:07:43.760 Absolutely degraded.

01:07:44.840 And let me ask

01:07:46.840 you this.

01:07:47.820 Are you comfortable

01:07:48.840 that he hasn't

01:07:49.480 already been removed?

01:07:52.120 I don't know

01:07:52.800 what his symptoms

01:07:53.320 are.

01:07:55.000 But he's so

01:07:56.260 fragile

01:07:56.780 that COVID

01:07:58.560 alone

01:07:59.060 should activate

01:08:01.720 the vice

01:08:02.400 president.

01:08:03.180 Am I right?

01:08:05.460 COVID

01:08:05.940 alone

01:08:06.540 should activate

01:08:07.620 the vice president.

01:08:08.580 And let me double

01:08:09.440 down on that.

01:08:10.960 All right?

01:08:11.200 I'm going to go

01:08:11.720 where you don't want

01:08:12.360 me to go.

01:08:12.760 If this were

01:08:14.380 Trump

01:08:14.840 same thing.

01:08:18.580 Right?

01:08:18.900 If Trump gets

01:08:19.860 COVID in office

01:08:20.880 he had it right.

01:08:25.560 But if Trump

01:08:27.040 gets it again

01:08:27.820 at whatever

01:08:29.380 his future age

01:08:31.000 is.

01:08:31.380 He did but he

01:08:32.120 was a little bit

01:08:32.520 younger.

01:08:33.400 But if Trump

01:08:33.940 gets it at his

01:08:34.660 new age in office

01:08:35.840 let's say

01:08:36.680 election plus

01:08:38.040 two years

01:08:38.660 what would

01:08:39.900 Trump be in

01:08:40.640 four years

01:08:42.140 let's say?

01:08:43.440 Four years

01:08:44.060 Trump would

01:08:44.500 be 82?

01:08:47.460 82?

01:08:49.640 Do the math

01:08:50.420 for me.

01:08:51.040 How old

01:08:51.340 would Trump

01:08:51.720 be in

01:08:52.540 four years?

01:08:55.420 How come

01:08:55.940 you haven't

01:08:56.220 told me yet?

01:08:56.720 How old

01:08:56.960 is Trump?

01:08:57.920 He would

01:08:58.080 be 80

01:08:58.420 in four

01:08:58.760 years?

01:09:01.240 He would

01:09:01.720 be 80.

01:09:02.440 Do you

01:09:02.940 think that

01:09:03.340 an 80

01:09:03.780 year old

01:09:04.140 president

01:09:04.540 should stay

01:09:06.140 in office

01:09:06.540 when they

01:09:06.900 have COVID?

01:09:07.340 I don't.

01:09:10.260 I mean I'm

01:09:10.700 65 and

01:09:12.100 there's no

01:09:12.500 way I could

01:09:13.020 have made

01:09:13.240 good decisions

01:09:13.900 while I

01:09:14.280 had COVID.

01:09:14.880 No way.

01:09:16.360 You take me

01:09:17.320 at 80 and

01:09:18.600 give me the

01:09:19.760 same COVID I

01:09:20.500 had at 65

01:09:22.080 at age 80

01:09:23.720 you do not

01:09:25.140 want me making

01:09:25.780 any decisions.

01:09:26.760 Trust me.

01:09:27.880 And I feel

01:09:28.500 like I'm pretty

01:09:29.020 mentally sound

01:09:29.820 and you would

01:09:30.880 not want me

01:09:31.400 making decisions

01:09:32.200 under those

01:09:32.880 conditions.

01:09:33.300 So I

01:09:34.520 think we

01:09:34.860 need to

01:09:35.340 trigger the

01:09:36.180 vice president

01:09:36.860 right away.

01:09:38.160 If it's

01:09:38.760 true that he

01:09:39.160 has COVID.

01:09:39.980 Now I get

01:09:40.560 it that the

01:09:41.060 doctors are

01:09:41.620 going to

01:09:41.700 look at it

01:09:42.140 and if

01:09:42.340 there's no

01:09:42.680 symptoms there's

01:09:43.320 no symptoms.

01:09:44.420 Maybe.

01:09:45.220 Maybe.

01:09:46.080 But if

01:09:46.720 there are

01:09:47.160 symptoms

01:09:47.680 that brain

01:09:50.520 fog stuff is

01:09:51.340 really bad

01:09:51.980 stuff.

01:09:53.500 You don't

01:09:54.100 want that.

01:09:55.660 So I

01:09:56.300 think we

01:09:56.580 need to

01:09:56.860 trigger the

01:09:57.260 vice president

01:09:57.740 right away.

01:10:00.500 Just for

01:10:01.380 the risk of

01:10:01.940 it.

01:10:02.800 Because the

01:10:03.180 thing is I

01:10:03.680 don't know if

01:10:04.080 Biden would

01:10:04.580 tell you he

01:10:05.080 had brain

01:10:05.540 fog.

01:10:05.920 Would he?

01:10:06.900 Do you

01:10:07.300 have brain

01:10:07.700 fog?

01:10:08.680 Oh no.

01:10:09.440 I don't have

01:10:09.900 any brain

01:10:10.240 fog.

01:10:12.200 Would he

01:10:12.660 know?

01:10:13.020 Yeah.

01:10:13.360 Would he

01:10:13.620 know?

01:10:13.880 I don't

01:10:14.040 know.

01:10:15.440 I'm not

01:10:15.720 sure that

01:10:17.320 people know

01:10:18.080 how much

01:10:19.060 their brain

01:10:19.600 is degraded.

01:10:20.700 Here's a

01:10:21.120 study I'd

01:10:21.580 love to

01:10:21.860 see.

01:10:22.860 Since we

01:10:23.280 know the

01:10:23.560 brain fog

01:10:24.060 is a

01:10:24.380 thing.

01:10:25.160 I mean

01:10:25.360 that's

01:10:25.720 pretty well

01:10:26.740 established I

01:10:27.400 think.

01:10:28.660 Could you

01:10:29.020 do a test

01:10:29.540 of IQ

01:10:30.260 of people who

01:10:31.920 are in

01:10:32.380 COVID

01:10:32.680 experiencing

01:10:33.740 it like

01:10:34.220 not even

01:10:34.600 long

01:10:34.880 COVID just

01:10:35.340 in it and

01:10:36.520 a test of

01:10:37.240 IQ for

01:10:37.920 somebody not

01:10:38.500 infected ever

01:10:39.280 and you do

01:10:41.240 enough of the

01:10:41.660 tests to get

01:10:42.640 an average.

01:10:43.460 I'll bet there

01:10:43.800 would be a

01:10:44.040 difference.

01:10:45.620 I'll bet you

01:10:46.020 would find that

01:10:46.520 the IQ of a

01:10:47.820 person with

01:10:48.580 COVID is

01:10:50.860 lower.

01:10:52.060 I'll bet you

01:10:52.780 would.

01:10:54.860 Temporarily.

01:10:55.640 Because it takes

01:10:56.380 your energy away.

01:10:58.340 And have you

01:10:58.800 ever tried to

01:10:59.280 take a test

01:10:59.920 when you're

01:11:00.260 tired?

01:11:01.420 It's a big

01:11:02.040 difference.

01:11:03.900 So there's

01:11:04.860 no way that

01:11:06.540 people with

01:11:07.700 COVID are

01:11:08.200 operating at

01:11:08.740 the same

01:11:09.060 mental capacity

01:11:09.820 as people

01:11:10.260 without it.

01:11:10.880 People have

01:11:11.360 never had it.

01:11:12.120 No way.

01:11:13.400 I mean I'd be

01:11:13.940 lucky if I get

01:11:14.640 back to where I

01:11:15.160 was.

01:11:16.380 And by the

01:11:16.760 way, I don't

01:11:18.180 know if I

01:11:18.600 have.

01:11:21.980 I was telling

01:11:23.000 you earlier

01:11:23.520 that I was

01:11:24.380 rereading my

01:11:25.120 writing from

01:11:25.780 2004.

01:11:27.840 And if

01:11:29.060 you asked me

01:11:29.880 before yesterday,

01:11:31.480 Scott, did

01:11:32.260 the COVID and

01:11:33.060 the long COVID

01:11:33.880 that gave you

01:11:34.480 the brain fog,

01:11:35.400 do you think

01:11:35.720 there's any

01:11:36.080 permanent thing

01:11:38.280 that happened

01:11:38.780 with that?

01:11:39.360 I would say

01:11:39.800 no.

01:11:40.700 No, I feel

01:11:41.260 fine.

01:11:41.700 In fact, if

01:11:42.240 you ask me, I

01:11:43.200 feel like at

01:11:43.700 the top of

01:11:44.360 my mental

01:11:44.980 acuity right

01:11:46.040 now.

01:11:46.700 No problem

01:11:47.480 at all.

01:11:48.880 And then I

01:11:49.420 read my own

01:11:50.080 writing for

01:11:50.600 2004.

01:11:53.960 Modified my

01:11:54.600 opinion a little

01:11:55.120 bit.

01:11:57.620 I don't know

01:11:58.220 if you know

01:11:58.540 where I'm

01:11:58.800 going on

01:11:59.200 this, but

01:12:00.100 in 2004, I

01:12:03.440 could write a

01:12:03.980 fucking sentence,

01:12:04.920 let me tell

01:12:05.360 you.

01:12:06.400 I could write a

01:12:07.280 good fucking

01:12:07.760 sentence.

01:12:08.980 I'm not so

01:12:09.780 sure they would

01:12:10.420 be just as

01:12:11.160 good today,

01:12:11.820 even though I

01:12:12.440 feel like I'm

01:12:13.020 at 100%.

01:12:13.740 But when I

01:12:15.040 read my younger

01:12:16.280 writing, I

01:12:17.560 looked at it

01:12:18.080 and said,

01:12:18.800 shit, I

01:12:20.960 don't know if

01:12:21.380 I could do

01:12:21.780 that.

01:12:23.080 I don't know.

01:12:23.800 Maybe I could

01:12:24.240 do better.

01:12:25.120 I don't know

01:12:25.600 for sure.

01:12:26.700 But I got a

01:12:28.400 real, it was

01:12:29.560 a wake-up call

01:12:30.320 when I saw

01:12:31.500 how tight my

01:12:32.240 writing was

01:12:32.880 from 15

01:12:34.120 years ago.

01:12:35.440 If I write

01:12:36.440 a book today,

01:12:37.380 which I'm

01:12:37.660 doing, which

01:12:38.620 hopefully will

01:12:39.120 be a gigantic

01:12:39.820 bestseller, but

01:12:41.460 I got my

01:12:43.040 questions.

01:12:44.260 Yeah, I got

01:12:44.940 my questions

01:12:45.540 whether I'm

01:12:46.200 just as sharp.

01:12:47.320 Here's what I

01:12:47.960 think is

01:12:48.380 happening.

01:12:49.700 I think I'm

01:12:50.580 less sharp, but

01:12:52.320 I have more

01:12:52.860 skills in my

01:12:53.820 stack.

01:12:55.120 I think I

01:12:56.300 come out

01:12:56.660 ahead, but I

01:12:58.560 think you

01:12:58.840 would notice

01:12:59.220 the difference.

01:13:00.340 That's what I

01:13:00.720 think.

01:13:01.400 I definitely

01:13:02.000 have more

01:13:02.380 skills in my

01:13:03.320 overall skill

01:13:04.180 stack, so

01:13:05.380 that might

01:13:06.020 come through

01:13:06.420 in my writing

01:13:06.980 and give me

01:13:07.400 an advantage,

01:13:08.220 but definitely

01:13:08.980 the quickness

01:13:10.400 is diminished.

01:13:12.200 Yeah,

01:13:12.420 definitely.

01:13:15.260 All right.

01:13:18.280 Demzet passed

01:13:19.120 a new protocol

01:13:19.740 to make it

01:13:20.200 easier to

01:13:20.640 remove a

01:13:21.040 president.

01:13:21.340 Tesla

01:13:24.060 investors,

01:13:24.960 what?

01:13:25.520 Bet on

01:13:26.120 recovery and

01:13:26.900 fantasy.

01:13:28.880 Yeah.

01:13:29.920 Tesla definitely

01:13:31.520 has some fantasy

01:13:32.760 elements, but let

01:13:33.520 me give you the

01:13:34.020 counter-argument

01:13:34.660 for Tesla.

01:13:36.080 I heard this

01:13:36.820 from Adam

01:13:37.260 Townsend, who

01:13:39.300 is a great

01:13:39.700 follow on

01:13:40.160 Twitter, by

01:13:40.640 the way.

01:13:41.440 Adam Townsend,

01:13:42.180 you should

01:13:42.440 follow him.

01:13:42.880 And this

01:13:45.400 is why I

01:13:45.920 actually bought

01:13:46.800 stock in

01:13:47.760 Tesla, which

01:13:49.060 is unusual

01:13:49.560 for me.

01:13:50.340 I wouldn't

01:13:50.760 normally buy

01:13:51.320 an individual

01:13:51.880 company.

01:13:52.980 I normally

01:13:53.460 diversify.

01:13:54.800 But it's

01:13:57.000 because Tesla

01:13:57.560 is a power

01:13:58.080 company.

01:13:59.000 It's not a

01:13:59.660 car company.

01:14:00.680 If you bought

01:14:01.460 it as a car

01:14:02.100 company, you

01:14:03.340 would look at

01:14:03.740 all the other

01:14:04.420 electric cars

01:14:06.020 and you'd say,

01:14:06.780 ooh, lots of

01:14:07.400 competition there.

01:14:08.780 And that doesn't

01:14:09.560 look good.

01:14:10.400 But if you see

01:14:11.100 it as an energy

01:14:11.860 company,

01:14:12.880 because the

01:14:14.000 world is going

01:14:14.560 to need a

01:14:15.120 whole bunch

01:14:16.020 of batteries,

01:14:17.240 it's a whole

01:14:17.880 different deal.

01:14:19.100 If you see

01:14:19.800 it as an

01:14:20.160 energy company,

01:14:21.860 you have a

01:14:23.520 whole different

01:14:24.140 feeling about

01:14:24.720 it.

01:14:25.220 And that

01:14:25.740 completely

01:14:26.300 reframed my

01:14:27.380 opinion of

01:14:28.180 it.

01:14:28.820 The cars

01:14:29.680 might be

01:14:30.220 irrelevant in

01:14:30.960 the long run.

01:14:32.420 I mean,

01:14:33.080 you remember,

01:14:34.740 was it

01:14:35.720 eBay?

01:14:37.040 eBay started

01:14:37.800 out selling

01:14:38.580 Pez

01:14:38.960 dispensers.

01:14:40.720 I think the

01:14:41.840 Tesla

01:14:42.220 automobile might

01:14:43.300 be the

01:14:43.900 Pez

01:14:44.420 dispenser for

01:14:45.220 Tesla.

01:14:46.860 It's just a

01:14:47.720 total fake

01:14:48.340 out of where

01:14:48.840 the company

01:14:49.260 is going.

01:14:50.380 I think

01:14:50.680 cars are the

01:14:51.560 temporary product.

01:14:52.960 The big product

01:14:54.160 is energy and

01:14:55.260 maybe AI.

01:14:56.960 AI and energy,

01:14:58.020 probably.

01:14:58.320 Logistics,

01:14:58.920 that sort of

01:14:59.260 thing.

01:15:00.480 Probably.

01:15:01.480 Yeah,

01:15:01.720 Amazon started

01:15:02.440 out with books.

01:15:03.240 Right,

01:15:03.480 exactly.

01:15:04.040 Perfect example.

01:15:05.600 I think Tesla

01:15:06.440 is just starting

01:15:07.040 with cars.

01:15:07.580 I don't

01:15:08.020 think it's a

01:15:08.420 car company

01:15:08.880 in the long

01:15:10.800 run.

01:15:13.600 The Pez

01:15:14.240 dispenser was

01:15:14.920 a made-up

01:15:15.360 PR story.

01:15:16.220 Yeah,

01:15:16.720 okay,

01:15:17.860 you got me.

01:15:19.580 The Pez

01:15:20.420 dispenser story

01:15:21.320 about eBay is

01:15:22.180 sort of a made-up

01:15:23.320 origin story,

01:15:24.700 but it was

01:15:26.040 close enough

01:15:26.820 to my point,

01:15:28.260 but you're

01:15:29.820 right.

01:15:30.420 I take that

01:15:31.340 fact check.

01:15:32.400 I accept your

01:15:33.040 fact check,

01:15:33.980 but it doesn't

01:15:34.520 change the

01:15:34.960 basic point.

01:15:43.040 You don't

01:15:43.640 care for the

01:15:44.120 looks of the

01:15:44.500 new truck?

01:15:45.300 Well,

01:15:45.600 a lot of

01:15:45.840 people ordered

01:15:46.760 it.

01:15:49.740 All right,

01:15:50.380 that's all

01:15:51.100 for now.

01:15:51.900 Is there

01:15:52.140 anything I

01:15:52.520 missed?

01:15:53.400 Is there

01:15:53.660 any topic

01:15:54.160 that you

01:15:54.560 wish you

01:15:55.920 had my

01:15:56.460 opinion on?

01:15:57.680 I don't

01:15:57.940 know why.

01:16:01.220 Delta I

01:16:01.800 Airlines

01:16:02.240 started as

01:16:02.780 a crop

01:16:03.200 dusting

01:16:03.740 service.

01:16:04.520 All right.

01:16:12.200 I believe

01:16:13.100 the golden

01:16:13.680 age is with

01:16:14.300 us.

01:16:16.160 No,

01:16:16.700 I'm not a

01:16:17.080 gamer.

01:16:18.180 Somebody

01:16:18.680 asked if I'm

01:16:19.240 a gamer,

01:16:20.520 and I'm

01:16:21.080 not,

01:16:21.780 and it's

01:16:22.240 only because

01:16:22.940 it's too

01:16:23.600 addictive.

01:16:24.620 I'll tell you

01:16:25.180 my gamer

01:16:25.640 story,

01:16:26.300 just so you've

01:16:26.680 heard it once,

01:16:27.260 in case you

01:16:27.540 haven't.

01:16:28.300 At the

01:16:28.840 dawn of

01:16:29.700 video gaming,

01:16:30.760 when I

01:16:31.020 think Sony

01:16:31.900 had the

01:16:33.620 best console

01:16:35.100 for a

01:16:35.480 while,

01:16:36.440 I may

01:16:37.020 have the

01:16:37.280 name

01:16:37.460 right,

01:16:37.700 I think

01:16:37.860 it was

01:16:38.020 Sony,

01:16:38.740 and I

01:16:39.740 was a

01:16:40.200 young

01:16:40.520 man,

01:16:41.760 computers

01:16:42.120 were just

01:16:42.620 taken off,

01:16:43.900 and I

01:16:44.360 said,

01:16:44.600 I've got to

01:16:44.900 have one

01:16:45.180 of those

01:16:45.420 video games

01:16:45.960 where I

01:16:46.240 can shoot

01:16:46.700 aliens out

01:16:48.280 of space.

01:16:49.180 And so I

01:16:49.600 bought this

01:16:50.040 thing,

01:16:50.280 it was really

01:16:50.620 hard to get,

01:16:51.360 I forget which

01:16:51.940 one it was,

01:16:52.420 and maybe a

01:16:54.480 Sega,

01:16:55.020 I don't know,

01:16:55.960 I can't

01:16:56.220 remember,

01:16:56.860 but I got

01:16:57.400 this system

01:16:58.000 and I

01:16:58.640 brought it

01:16:58.880 home,

01:17:00.220 I forget

01:17:01.360 which one

01:17:01.700 it was,

01:17:02.320 and I

01:17:02.920 played it

01:17:03.460 for about

01:17:04.160 eight hours

01:17:04.680 straight.

01:17:06.340 And when I

01:17:06.800 was done,

01:17:08.180 I felt

01:17:08.740 terrible,

01:17:10.160 terrible.

01:17:12.180 Like,

01:17:12.760 I lost

01:17:13.580 eight hours

01:17:14.100 of my

01:17:14.400 life,

01:17:15.340 and all

01:17:16.260 I could

01:17:16.580 think of

01:17:17.140 was getting

01:17:18.120 back to do

01:17:18.700 it again.

01:17:19.060 and nothing

01:17:20.460 had been

01:17:21.200 better,

01:17:22.240 I wasn't

01:17:22.780 smarter,

01:17:23.680 stronger,

01:17:24.880 more successful,

01:17:26.000 I had just

01:17:26.420 lost eight

01:17:27.220 hours.

01:17:28.400 That's it.

01:17:29.420 And I

01:17:29.860 felt all

01:17:30.440 nervous.

01:17:31.900 Not only

01:17:32.360 did I lose

01:17:32.840 eight hours,

01:17:33.620 it wasn't

01:17:34.100 fun.

01:17:35.140 It was

01:17:35.340 like anxious

01:17:35.880 making,

01:17:36.320 because I

01:17:36.500 had to

01:17:36.720 shoot more

01:17:37.080 aliens.

01:17:38.360 I've got to

01:17:38.820 shoot more

01:17:39.080 aliens,

01:17:39.520 aliens,

01:17:39.960 aliens.

01:17:41.140 And so

01:17:41.620 after

01:17:42.620 months of

01:17:46.460 trying to

01:17:46.800 get this

01:17:47.160 thing,

01:17:47.380 because it

01:17:47.580 was hard

01:17:47.840 to get

01:17:48.160 for some

01:17:48.520 reason,

01:17:48.740 there was

01:17:48.980 some kind

01:17:49.220 of

01:17:49.320 shortage,

01:17:50.180 I finally

01:17:50.740 got one,

01:17:51.340 I packed

01:17:51.800 that thing

01:17:52.220 up,

01:17:53.060 took it

01:17:53.380 back to

01:17:53.700 the store

01:17:54.160 for a

01:17:54.600 full refund,

01:17:56.220 and said,

01:17:57.900 I never

01:17:58.320 want to be

01:17:58.800 close to

01:17:59.220 one of

01:17:59.440 these again.

01:18:00.800 And I

01:18:01.140 haven't.

01:18:02.400 So I've

01:18:03.100 avoided

01:18:03.520 gaming in

01:18:04.340 all its

01:18:04.680 forms,

01:18:05.380 because it

01:18:06.060 was too

01:18:06.320 dangerous.

01:18:07.420 And remember,

01:18:08.000 by that time,

01:18:08.940 I was already

01:18:09.980 a trained

01:18:10.380 hypnotist.

01:18:11.440 As a

01:18:11.920 trained

01:18:12.180 hypnotist,

01:18:13.480 you sample

01:18:14.580 that shit,

01:18:15.220 you run

01:18:15.700 away.

01:18:16.060 And this

01:18:19.260 would be

01:18:19.540 an interesting

01:18:20.620 experiment.

01:18:23.080 I'll give

01:18:23.720 you a

01:18:23.920 hypothesis.

01:18:25.180 My hypothesis

01:18:25.880 is that

01:18:26.540 trained

01:18:26.940 hypnotists

01:18:27.560 don't play

01:18:28.180 video games.

01:18:30.380 Test that.

01:18:32.340 Go do a

01:18:33.260 test on that.

01:18:34.880 Just a

01:18:35.540 claim.

01:18:36.500 Trained

01:18:36.880 hypnotist,

01:18:37.580 and I'll go

01:18:38.100 further,

01:18:39.020 somebody who

01:18:39.640 has a

01:18:40.500 PhD in

01:18:41.180 psychology,

01:18:42.720 they don't

01:18:43.680 play video

01:18:44.140 games.

01:18:45.720 I'll bet

01:18:46.080 you.

01:18:46.840 I'll bet

01:18:47.500 you people

01:18:47.840 with a

01:18:48.160 PhD in

01:18:48.780 psychology

01:18:49.280 do not

01:18:49.940 play video

01:18:50.400 games.

01:18:51.420 I'll bet

01:18:51.860 you medical

01:18:52.620 doctors,

01:18:54.380 let's say

01:18:54.940 young ones,

01:18:55.580 even going

01:18:56.020 through medical

01:18:57.480 school and

01:18:57.920 stuff,

01:18:58.480 probably do,

01:18:59.360 some of

01:18:59.740 them,

01:19:00.340 but I'll

01:19:00.760 bet not

01:19:01.200 nearly as

01:19:02.000 much as

01:19:02.440 the average

01:19:03.000 person.

01:19:04.180 Not nearly

01:19:04.700 as much.

01:19:07.300 And there's

01:19:08.860 a reason.

01:19:10.000 If you have

01:19:10.800 any exposure

01:19:11.540 to that

01:19:12.160 world,

01:19:13.100 the world

01:19:13.820 of psychology

01:19:14.540 and mental

01:19:15.400 health,

01:19:15.980 if you have

01:19:16.380 any exposure

01:19:16.940 to it at

01:19:17.360 all,

01:19:18.060 as soon as

01:19:18.820 you spend

01:19:19.340 a little

01:19:19.600 time playing

01:19:20.160 video games,

01:19:20.840 you know

01:19:21.280 this shit's

01:19:22.420 dangerous,

01:19:23.420 and you

01:19:23.660 just run

01:19:24.020 away.

01:19:26.320 It's good

01:19:27.000 for surgery

01:19:27.520 skills,

01:19:28.020 somebody says.

01:19:28.840 Maybe so.

01:19:31.820 Yeah.

01:19:32.760 So that was

01:19:33.560 my take.

01:19:34.160 It was too

01:19:34.720 addictive.

01:19:35.500 Now,

01:19:36.140 how do I

01:19:38.020 explain not

01:19:38.900 running away

01:19:39.460 from Twitter?

01:19:41.560 Does anybody

01:19:42.080 know my

01:19:42.680 rationalization

01:19:43.520 for that?

01:19:44.520 How do I

01:19:45.160 rationalize

01:19:45.800 spending so

01:19:46.300 much time

01:19:46.740 on Twitter?

01:19:49.320 Because I

01:19:49.880 know it's

01:19:50.180 addictive.

01:19:52.300 Yeah.

01:19:52.900 I rationalize

01:19:53.760 it as a

01:19:54.400 business tool.

01:19:56.840 Right?

01:19:59.160 But at

01:20:00.500 the same time

01:20:01.120 I'm rationalizing

01:20:01.960 it, I'm so

01:20:02.700 aware that it's

01:20:03.440 a rationalization.

01:20:04.840 So aware.

01:20:05.840 Now, it's

01:20:06.140 also true.

01:20:07.960 Like, it's

01:20:08.640 true.

01:20:09.100 It is a

01:20:10.260 business tool.

01:20:11.080 It is sort

01:20:11.820 of essential

01:20:12.340 for what I'm

01:20:12.980 doing here.

01:20:13.720 It would be

01:20:14.280 tough to do

01:20:14.740 without it.

01:20:16.100 But also,

01:20:18.520 it's because I

01:20:18.900 love it.

01:20:21.140 I don't have a

01:20:22.480 time scheduled

01:20:23.200 for the Russell

01:20:24.140 Brand conversation.

01:20:25.580 I see some

01:20:26.000 people asking

01:20:26.560 over here.

01:20:28.600 I believe he's

01:20:29.760 filming.

01:20:32.160 Which, by the

01:20:32.760 way, I wish

01:20:34.300 someday I could

01:20:35.020 say that.

01:20:35.540 Russell Brand's

01:20:37.900 producer said

01:20:39.160 they'll get back

01:20:39.920 to me with

01:20:40.280 scheduling because

01:20:41.300 Russell is off

01:20:42.440 filming.

01:20:44.760 I want to use

01:20:45.760 that as my

01:20:46.380 excuse someday.

01:20:47.760 Oh, I'd love

01:20:49.460 to do that, but

01:20:50.260 I'll be filming

01:20:51.980 that week.

01:20:53.220 Doesn't that

01:20:53.700 sound better than

01:20:54.380 anything you're

01:20:54.980 doing?

01:20:56.040 Because you're

01:20:56.700 working.

01:20:58.300 No, he's not

01:20:58.880 off working.

01:21:00.300 He's off

01:21:00.820 filming.

01:21:02.340 He's filming.

01:21:03.800 Way better than

01:21:04.660 working.

01:21:05.540 How much

01:21:08.200 time do you

01:21:08.560 spend each

01:21:09.040 day on

01:21:09.560 Twitter?

01:21:10.180 Pretty much

01:21:10.760 all of the

01:21:11.420 in-between time.

01:21:13.280 So, I try

01:21:14.200 not to sit

01:21:15.160 down and do

01:21:15.820 Twitter, but

01:21:17.500 you're always

01:21:18.080 waiting for

01:21:18.600 something, aren't

01:21:19.160 you?

01:21:20.040 Like you're

01:21:20.560 walking back

01:21:21.220 and forth, or

01:21:22.020 you're in-between

01:21:23.640 stuff.

01:21:24.120 So, it's my

01:21:24.540 in-between thing.

01:21:25.840 But in-between is

01:21:26.860 most of my day.

01:21:28.880 I probably spend

01:21:29.860 more time between

01:21:30.660 things than I do

01:21:32.300 on any one

01:21:33.120 thing.

01:21:33.440 So, if you

01:21:35.300 were to

01:21:35.960 amass all the

01:21:36.740 actual minutes,

01:21:38.540 good question.

01:21:39.440 I'll give you an

01:21:39.980 estimate as best I

01:21:41.180 can, subjectively.

01:21:43.480 If I imagine my

01:21:45.240 day and how many

01:21:45.960 times I check,

01:21:47.760 one hour.

01:21:49.700 One hour.

01:21:50.880 Best guess,

01:21:51.960 one hour per

01:21:52.860 day.

01:21:54.640 It might be

01:21:55.120 off.

01:21:55.660 That feels like

01:21:56.260 about right.

01:21:57.660 But, because it's

01:21:58.600 in 30-second

01:21:59.300 increments.

01:21:59.820 So, there's

01:22:01.220 probably 120

01:22:02.200 half-minute

01:22:02.940 increments during

01:22:04.660 the day.

01:22:08.760 Yeah, it is a

01:22:09.920 time suck, and

01:22:10.820 it is an

01:22:11.240 addiction, but

01:22:11.980 like I said, I

01:22:12.900 got a

01:22:13.120 rationalization.

01:22:15.660 Max says,

01:22:17.040 are you

01:22:17.400 dating?

01:22:18.620 Max, I don't

01:22:19.200 think you're my

01:22:19.700 type, but

01:22:20.480 thanks for

01:22:20.820 asking.

01:22:23.260 Check your

01:22:23.820 iPhone for

01:22:24.500 time spent on

01:22:25.400 Twitter.

01:22:25.780 Oh, yeah.

01:22:27.940 Let's do

01:22:28.820 that.

01:22:30.560 It's in the

01:22:31.180 settings.

01:22:34.220 Screen time.

01:22:37.140 That's just

01:22:37.660 screen time,

01:22:38.260 right?

01:22:38.940 I don't know.

01:22:40.660 App.

01:22:44.320 I don't want

01:22:44.960 to do tech

01:22:45.580 support while

01:22:46.200 you're live

01:22:46.880 streaming here,

01:22:47.460 but I thought

01:22:47.840 it would be

01:22:48.060 easier to

01:22:48.460 find it.

01:22:51.700 I thought

01:22:52.260 it would be

01:22:52.440 under screen

01:22:53.000 time.

01:22:54.300 That's where

01:22:54.800 I'd put it.

01:22:56.000 Where would

01:22:56.380 you put it?

01:22:56.800 On your

01:22:57.040 phone?

01:22:58.760 See all

01:22:59.460 activity.

01:23:01.880 All

01:23:02.320 activity.

01:23:03.860 Where's

01:23:04.320 that?

01:23:08.020 All right.

01:23:08.740 Thank you,

01:23:09.520 Apple, for

01:23:10.220 making it once

01:23:11.020 again impossible

01:23:11.900 to find

01:23:12.540 anything.

01:23:14.740 Yeah, I can't

01:23:15.300 find it.

01:23:17.300 As usual,

01:23:18.280 there are three

01:23:18.820 ways to get

01:23:19.480 to it.

01:23:20.760 There's always

01:23:21.380 five ways to

01:23:22.120 do it, I

01:23:22.380 think, on

01:23:22.720 your phone.

01:23:23.100 and four

01:23:25.400 of them

01:23:25.620 don't work.

01:23:28.620 Do I

01:23:29.200 like

01:23:29.600 ethnic or

01:23:31.260 spicy food?

01:23:33.000 I thought

01:23:33.640 everybody did.

01:23:35.660 Of course

01:23:36.180 I do.

01:23:41.500 Over on

01:23:42.480 YouTube,

01:23:46.520 somebody's

01:23:47.460 mad at

01:23:47.840 Max for

01:23:48.560 getting

01:23:49.240 noticed in

01:23:49.840 the comments

01:23:50.360 and

01:23:51.140 wasting

01:23:51.520 his

01:23:51.760 question.

01:23:54.540 All right,

01:23:57.880 battery use.

01:23:59.580 Oh, it's a

01:24:00.240 battery use

01:24:00.780 thing?

01:24:02.120 If I look

01:24:02.780 at my

01:24:03.080 battery use,

01:24:03.960 that'll tell

01:24:04.380 me what I'm

01:24:04.780 using it on.

01:24:05.340 There we

01:24:05.640 go.

01:24:07.160 Battery use.

01:24:08.700 Where would

01:24:09.240 I see that?

01:24:09.780 All right,

01:24:16.000 well, I'll

01:24:16.620 figure that

01:24:17.000 out later.

01:24:21.500 I'm just

01:24:22.040 looking at

01:24:22.400 your notes

01:24:23.080 in the

01:24:23.380 settings.

01:24:25.780 Scott,

01:24:26.340 would you

01:24:26.660 date a

01:24:27.080 trans to

01:24:27.960 avoid

01:24:28.440 persecution?

01:24:32.180 I'm not

01:24:32.680 sure I

01:24:33.020 understand the

01:24:33.640 question.

01:24:34.820 Would I

01:24:35.240 date a

01:24:35.780 trans to

01:24:36.500 avoid

01:24:37.000 persecution?

01:24:38.560 I don't

01:24:38.880 know if

01:24:39.140 that's a

01:24:39.560 thing.

01:24:46.200 Count

01:24:46.680 your

01:24:46.880 antennas.

01:24:47.800 What?

01:24:48.920 Your

01:24:49.340 comments are

01:24:49.800 all weird

01:24:50.120 now.

01:24:54.320 Screen

01:24:54.800 time and

01:24:55.480 see all

01:24:55.840 activity, I

01:24:56.460 don't have

01:24:56.720 that option.

01:24:59.060 If I

01:24:59.300 hit the

01:24:59.580 screen, this

01:25:00.840 is like

01:25:01.200 looking for

01:25:01.940 anything on

01:25:02.940 social media.

01:25:06.360 If you

01:25:06.980 try to

01:25:07.320 Google how

01:25:07.840 to do

01:25:08.080 anything,

01:25:08.380 you'll

01:25:09.200 always get

01:25:09.580 an answer

01:25:09.980 and it

01:25:11.140 will be

01:25:11.440 wrong.

01:25:12.620 Have you

01:25:12.900 had that

01:25:13.140 experience?

01:25:13.920 If you

01:25:14.240 have any

01:25:14.580 technical

01:25:15.200 question,

01:25:16.700 except for

01:25:17.360 how to

01:25:17.940 reboot

01:25:19.020 your OS,

01:25:21.220 that's about

01:25:21.520 the only one

01:25:21.920 you get the

01:25:22.240 right answer,

01:25:23.140 but anything

01:25:23.920 that's like a

01:25:24.840 technical

01:25:25.200 question, you'll

01:25:25.880 definitely get

01:25:26.340 an answer and

01:25:27.560 it will be

01:25:27.960 wrong.

01:25:29.020 Every time.

01:25:29.660 90% of

01:25:31.760 the time?

01:25:32.460 I'd say 90%

01:25:33.540 of the

01:25:34.140 technical

01:25:34.700 solutions on

01:25:35.780 Google are

01:25:36.680 absolutely

01:25:37.200 wrong.

01:25:42.160 All right.

01:25:46.760 All right,

01:25:47.480 that's all for

01:25:48.200 now and I

01:25:48.840 will talk to

01:25:49.240 you.

01:25:50.720 The name of

01:25:51.360 the prequel to

01:25:52.340 God's Debris is

01:25:53.140 called The

01:25:53.860 Religion War.

01:25:54.800 I heard

01:25:56.720 earlier that

01:25:57.280 it's so hard

01:25:57.740 to get, it

01:25:58.260 got bid up to

01:25:58.900 $60 on

01:26:00.660 Amazon because

01:26:02.020 it's out of

01:26:02.960 print.

01:26:03.520 It'd be hard

01:26:03.940 to find.

01:26:05.040 But I've got to

01:26:05.580 tell you, it

01:26:06.380 blew me away

01:26:06.980 when I read it.

01:26:07.860 I'm not even

01:26:08.420 sure I could

01:26:08.800 read it without

01:26:09.660 too much of an

01:26:11.280 emotional reaction.

01:26:13.160 That was my

01:26:13.640 plan.

01:26:14.600 All right,

01:26:15.160 that's all for

01:26:15.540 now.

01:26:15.840 Talk to you

01:26:16.140 tomorrow.
