Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1815 Scott Adams： The January 6 Hearings Have Cleared Trump. Will News Report It That Way？

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization, the thing that's

00:00:10.560 going to get your day off to a good start. It's the positive vibe that you can't find

00:00:16.380 anywhere else. Today's the day that you're going to feel a little bit better about, well,

00:00:21.560 just about everything, because that's the way it goes on Coffee with Scott Adams. And

00:00:26.180 all you need to guarantee this good day is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or Chelsea

00:00:31.300 Stein, a canteen jug or flask. It's a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:35.620 I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure. That's the dopamine hit of the day.

00:00:46.540 Okay. Somebody's showing me a meme of a stamp of the simultaneous sip in a text. I don't

00:00:57.560 think that's real. But, you ready? Go.

00:01:01.320 Oh, yeah. Yep. I don't know about you, but I felt it. I would like to make a media

00:01:14.140 recommendation. Recommendation for some content. You need to watch the Bill Burr stand-up special

00:01:22.300 on Netflix. He's got several of them. It's the newest one from Red Rocks. I'm about three-quarters

00:01:29.540 through it. And, oh, my God, is it good. It's so good. There are points within it where he's just

00:01:38.360 pissing off the audience, and you're not sure he could ever recover. And then he does. And then it

00:01:44.480 looks like he couldn't possibly recover from the thing he's saying now. And then he does. It's really

00:01:49.860 amazing. Watching him fly that close to the sun and not get burned up is really amazing. He goes

00:01:58.300 after everything and everybody. I think the real secret of it is that he is unrelenting. I think if

00:02:09.100 he went at these topics in a half-assed way, it wouldn't work. But the fact that he's just so

00:02:14.020 completely all in, you just say, all right, all right, and just entertain us.

00:02:21.500 Did you see the alleged Nazis who were protesting in favor of DeSantis in Florida? Yeah. Allegedly,

00:02:29.080 they were pro-DeSantis Nazis. Now, and of course, the Democrats fell for it. Do you know what the

00:02:38.280 budget is to get some fake Nazis or even some real ones to demonstrate in favor of your political

00:02:45.500 opponent to make your opponent look bad? What do you suppose would be the budget for that sort of

00:02:50.240 thing? Real expensive? Pretty sure you could get it under $1,000. You could get several people

00:02:58.900 for about $1,000 probably. Yeah, somewhere in that neighborhood. If you paid $5,000, you probably

00:03:04.660 should have negotiated better. But for a very low price, you could get people to dress up as Nazis

00:03:11.200 or actual Nazis, you know, neo-Nazis or whatever, and they'll stand there and hold a sign for your

00:03:16.540 opponent. Now, I have a suggestion. Since you know this Nazi trick is going to be used over and over 0.78

00:03:23.040 against the Republicans, the Republicans should form, or maybe, you know, not the politicians, but maybe

00:03:29.840 some PAC or interest group, form a Nazi dancing troupe. People who dress like Nazis, but they present 0.73

00:03:40.000 themselves as entertainment. So they're not trying to pretend to be Nazis. They're only actors who are

00:03:47.280 telling you they're actors, and it's a Nazi dancing troupe. And then you send them to every event that the 0.73

00:03:53.500 Democrats do. Now, even though they would be clearly labeled as entertainment, you know, they would not

00:03:59.960 be trying to present themselves as actual neo-Nazis, how many times do the Democrats have to see the

00:04:06.220 dancing Nazis attend their events before they feel uncomfortable with the whole idea?

00:04:12.260 I think that I think the Republicans could completely take this, you know, ridiculous political trick off

00:04:22.400 the map by going really hard at it themselves. Just just have a Nazi dancing troupe at every single 0.99

00:04:29.080 Democrat. You know, they'd have signs and they'd have like really good costumes, you know, like actual

00:04:36.060 actual like World War II Nazi costumes and shit. You know, maybe they'd do the goose step, maybe some

00:04:43.720 kind of a goose step dance, like Mel Brooks, yes. Very much like the Mel Brooks play. All right.

00:04:52.820 I'd like to remind you of bad shit, crazy things I've said that ended up being actually the general

00:05:01.020 understanding in the country after a certain point. Now, you can probably come up with several

00:05:06.280 examples yourselves of things I've said or predicted that were just batshit crazy. And then you wait a

00:05:13.040 year or two or maybe several, and it's the standard of thinking. Here's another one. Nobody understands

00:05:20.600 economics. Do you remember the first time I said that? And you probably heard it and you're like,

00:05:26.560 okay, that's a little hyperbole. Like, what's that mean? Or are you talking about something

00:05:31.120 specific? Now it's the headline. The headline in CNN is that the economists don't understand the

00:05:37.700 economy. It's the fucking headline, right? How many people thought it was ridiculous when I said that

00:05:45.580 the experts don't understand the economy? It sounded ridiculous, didn't it? But now it's common

00:05:52.320 understanding. How many times have I done that? Do you remember in 2015, I told you that Trump was

00:05:58.760 persuasive? And do you remember the response I got to that? He's not persuasive. Come on. He has,

00:06:09.120 what, 13% support even among Republicans, right? 13%. Come on. He's anything but persuasive. He's a big,

00:06:19.640 crazy clown. He doesn't know what he's doing. And now what's the headline today? The headline is that

00:06:26.880 Trump is so persuasive that he may have accidentally triggered something like an insurrection because he's

00:06:36.420 so persuasive and that the entire, more than half of the country believes the election was sketchy.

00:06:42.560 More than half of the country. That number has never been achieved or even close. That's all

00:06:50.200 Trump. That's all Trump. He is literally proven to be the most persuasive human in modern civilization,

00:07:01.860 I think. And people laughed at me when I said, you have no idea what's coming here in 2015.

00:07:08.060 You don't see this coming. Trust me. I have just the right skill set that I can, you know, I can look

00:07:14.960 through this little window. There it is. All right. So nobody understands economics. Specifically,

00:07:24.280 and this is one of those things you can do when you have no shame. Just try to imagine yourself doing

00:07:30.460 this. This is something that I did in public, in the most public way I did. I have a degree in economics

00:07:38.820 and I have an MBA. And I'm an adult who's lived in the world and watched the news closely for decades.

00:07:47.060 And the other day I tweeted that I don't understand the unemployment number. I don't even understand that.

00:07:54.520 What the hell is going on? How in the world could the economy be having so many problems and the

00:08:00.660 employment looks great? Now, many of you said, Scott, Scott, Scott, everybody knows it's because

00:08:05.920 people left the employment pool. I know that. That's not the part I don't understand. I get that

00:08:13.820 the employment is only of the people who are looking for a job. So fewer people say they're looking for

00:08:19.360 one. Well, you've got full employment. Yeah, I get that. That doesn't come close to explaining what

00:08:24.720 we're seeing. If that explained it, like fully, it's part of the story, of course. Of course it's part.

00:08:31.600 But there's something else going on here. And I don't know what it is. And I have a hypothesis.

00:08:37.880 And I would expect to win the Nobel for economics for the following hypothesis. And by the way,

00:08:45.200 I'm not even kidding. I'm not joking. I'm going to add a hypothesis to the body of economics

00:08:51.900 that I don't think you've seen that will explain all the things that don't make sense right now.

00:08:57.780 It goes like this. Economics assumes a, let's say, a small range of change. Economics assumes

00:09:10.280 that the world changes at a somewhat predictable, regular pace, or at least it's the same as it

00:09:16.980 was the last 10 years, right? Maybe modern days change faster than old days. But if the last 10

00:09:23.940 years would be a pretty good proxy for change. So everything that you know about economics,

00:09:30.280 every common assumption, is assumed that the base of, you know, all of our assumptions about

00:09:36.140 everything stay about the same. And that economics is just running on top of those assumptions.

00:09:42.380 But the pandemic, and I'm going to give Naval Ravikant the credit for, I think the first person 0.76

00:09:49.860 who observed this, his prediction was that the pandemic would make everything that was going

00:09:55.660 to happen anyway happen faster. And we're seeing it, right? So right now we have legacy systems,

00:10:05.960 companies that are operating at the same time as the replacement system for a short period of time.

00:10:12.880 What happens to employment numbers when you still have the old system, but you're bringing

00:10:19.200 up the new system? You need twice as many people because you still have the old system, but you've

00:10:24.880 now added the new system. For example, before the pandemic, mostly you got your food from the

00:10:32.540 grocery store. Is the grocery store still there? Yes, it is. Grocery store is still there. Still

00:10:39.800 employees about the same number of people. But on top of that, because it was so hard to go anywhere

00:10:45.680 during the pandemic, the food delivery business exploded. So now you have the entire grocery

00:10:53.200 industry just the way it was. But on top of it, you have what I think will be the long term

00:10:58.200 replacement industry, which is the food comes to you. Do you buy it? So that that would be an

00:11:05.000 explanation of why things could be falling apart. We could have, you know, recession, inflation, we

00:11:09.800 could have supply chain problems, we could have every problem that you're seeing. But at the same time,

00:11:16.740 we're in this weird situation where the pandemic said, wait, everything you're doing is fucked up. 0.69

00:11:21.040 You better start putting the new plan in place right away. And then we did. We did. So at least

00:11:28.380 part of it, I think, is the rapid acceleration of the baseline world. What do you think? Will

00:11:38.740 anybody accept that? And will you nominate me for the Nobel for economics? Do I have to do some

00:11:46.580 math to get that Nobel? I want the Nobel. I already invented, by the way, how many of you know, I

00:11:52.940 invented the concept of the confusopoly, which is now standard part of economic thought?

00:12:01.640 How many of you knew that? That I'm actually part of the economic literature? Now, a confusopoly

00:12:08.860 is a word I invented years ago. And it refers to the fact that businesses such as, let's say,

00:12:15.380 cell phone companies, and insurance companies, banks, to some extent, lots of businesses,

00:12:21.160 the reason that they don't need to compete with each other is that they've made their products

00:12:26.100 too complicated for you to know who's doing a better job. Imagine going to get your cell phone

00:12:32.260 if you knew for sure which was the better deal. You would just walk in and get the better deal.

00:12:38.900 Because cell phone coverage is kind of like every other cell phone coverage. But you don't.

00:12:43.380 When you go to buy a cell phone, it's like, well, this one's a plan. But this one has rollover

00:12:48.440 minutes. But this one, I can add a family member. You have no way to compare it. That's a confusopoly.

00:12:55.980 The way economics was supposed to work is that the free market would drive all the weak competitors

00:13:02.600 out of business. And eventually, you'd have one strong competitor. But that's not happening.

00:13:07.580 You have lots of competition, insurance and everything. And the way they compete is they

00:13:12.180 confuse the consumer so the consumer can't tell which product is better. And I believe

00:13:19.380 that they do it intentionally. Meaning that they're all quite intentionally making sure

00:13:24.080 that nobody can compare their products. I mean, I know that's the case. I'm not guessing.

00:13:29.360 That's definitely the case. So, before I explain that, that concept didn't exist in economics.

00:13:36.920 But if you Google it now, confusopoly, you'll see it's a standard concept.

00:13:43.360 So, how many of you thought that I would be famous for adding a concept to economics?

00:13:49.300 See, you didn't see that coming, did you? But it happened.

00:13:51.760 All right. Rasmussen did some polling on American voters and energy independence.

00:14:00.100 And found out that only 19% of those polled oppose a policy of encouraging U.S. energy independence.

00:14:07.560 In other words, 81% would like more of a Trump approach, you know, going for energy independence.

00:14:14.400 And only 19%, and remember, this includes Democrats.

00:14:19.440 Only 19% of the public wants something like what we have now, where we're not encouraging domestic energy.

00:14:33.060 And let's see.

00:14:35.100 53% of voters, and remember, this includes Democrats and independents and everybody else,

00:14:41.000 trust Republicans more to encourage U.S. oil and gas production.

00:14:45.580 Well, that makes sense, right?

00:14:46.960 But why is it only 53%?

00:14:49.440 If you took the assumption, even if you don't assume that you want that,

00:14:57.440 even if you said to yourself, I don't want more domestic energy production,

00:15:01.420 I don't know why you'd say that, but suppose you did,

00:15:04.400 wouldn't you still at least recognize that Republicans would do more of it?

00:15:08.780 How could you be so dumb that you think the Republicans and the Democrats would be roughly the same

00:15:16.820 when it comes to encouraging domestic energy production?

00:15:21.400 That's a pretty weird opinion.

00:15:23.500 I mean, it would fly against literally 100% of all reporting from both sides.

00:15:27.060 18% of the public thinks there's not much difference between the two parties on the issue of energy.

00:15:38.360 18%.

00:15:38.720 Feels a little low.

00:15:41.200 That's a number I would have expected closer to, I don't know, maybe north of 20%.

00:15:45.180 Closer to a quarter.

00:15:47.600 I would have expected that closer to a quarter.

00:15:50.920 Just saying.

00:15:52.980 All right.

00:15:55.960 And 71% of likely U.S. voters think the U.S. government should encourage increased oil and gas production in the U.S.

00:16:04.820 71%.

00:16:05.300 How in the world does a Democrat get elected president in this atmosphere?

00:16:13.440 There's a really dangerous situation shaping up here, and I think you all see it, right?

00:16:18.820 Everything in the news and the polling suggests that there's no way a Democrat could win the presidency.

00:16:24.080 Against anybody, basically.

00:16:26.480 What if they do?

00:16:28.860 What if they do?

00:16:32.960 I don't know.

00:16:33.780 I mean, if it happened in this atmosphere, where every indicator is pointing toward, you know, a strong Republican win,

00:16:42.000 if it doesn't happen, and all these indicators stay so strongly in the other direction,

00:16:48.000 that could be a problem.

00:16:50.100 That could be a problem.

00:16:51.820 So we'll see if that happens.

00:16:55.620 So as you know, the January 6th hearings have completely cleared Trump of any criminal behavior.

00:17:02.460 by showing that there's no evidence of it.

00:17:05.800 They have completely eviscerated the encouraged an insurrection narrative, completely gone.

00:17:11.880 Because I don't think anybody believes that there was a planned insurrection in which Don Jr. wasn't let in on it.

00:17:19.780 Or Ivanka.

00:17:20.480 To me, that's just funny.

00:17:23.880 Not only did they disprove their own contention, that there was some planned insurrection,

00:17:28.820 but they disproved it in a way that's actually funny.

00:17:31.720 It's like, hmm, really?

00:17:33.920 Somebody should have checked to see if Don Jr. was at least informed about this alleged insurrection.

00:17:39.000 Because if he had not been, and the evidence clearly shows that he didn't know anything about any planned insurrection,

00:17:46.440 there's nothing else to talk about.

00:17:49.180 None of the other evidence is even worth looking at.

00:17:52.260 You know, once you see that his own family didn't know anything about it, that's sort of it.

00:17:56.720 And then you say, but, but, but, but, but, Scott, but, but, but, but,

00:18:00.400 what about all those people in the administration who are helping him try to, you know, game the rules to take over?

00:18:06.940 What about them?

00:18:08.000 To which I say, what about them?

00:18:11.040 Do you notice anything in common with those people who have been named,

00:18:15.040 who are, like, trying to find some scheme for him to keep power?

00:18:18.420 You know, playing with the electoral, the electors and stuff like that.

00:18:22.400 They're all fucking lawyers.

00:18:24.880 They're all lawyers.

00:18:26.340 Don't you think the Democrats owe it to the United States to say,

00:18:29.220 well, there's one thing we should point out,

00:18:32.280 that the people who did seem to be supporting the idea that there might be some legal challenge here

00:18:38.340 were all lawyers, and that's what they do.

00:18:41.020 It's not their job to tell you what Trump should do ethically or morally or what's right for the country.

00:18:48.180 They are there to say, is there a legal argument, yes or no?

00:18:52.440 And they did their job.

00:18:54.460 You could argue they did it well.

00:18:55.900 Because if the boss who's paying them says, is there a legal way that I could find this,

00:19:01.800 their job is to go find the best argument to support your preferences.

00:19:07.880 They came up with the best argument they could, but it was weak.

00:19:12.940 Would you all agree with that?

00:19:14.660 The best argument they came up with about, you know, changing electors or whatever,

00:19:18.960 was a little weak.

00:19:20.420 I mean, it didn't even convince Pence.

00:19:22.140 If you can't convince Pence, that's a weak argument.

00:19:25.360 But that doesn't mean they shouldn't have done that.

00:19:28.260 And it doesn't mean that Trump shouldn't have asked.

00:19:31.120 Because in the process of leadership, you ask all the questions.

00:19:35.280 In fact, one of the biggest, I guess, criticisms of Trump

00:19:38.980 is we keep hearing stories where he asks crazy shit. 0.56

00:19:42.720 Like, can you stop a hurricane with a nuclear weapon?

00:19:45.400 And I doubt he ever said that, by the way.

00:19:49.080 I don't think he ever actually said that.

00:19:51.240 But what was the other one?

00:19:52.820 Can you nuke?

00:19:53.840 Or no, can we send a missile into the cartels, basically?

00:19:57.960 Can we attack the cartels?

00:19:59.580 Now, the answer he got back was, no, don't do that.

00:20:01.860 I think that's the wrong answer.

00:20:03.160 I think he could attack them.

00:20:04.700 But you see that he always asks the edge question.

00:20:08.940 If you're a leader, and you're not asking the edge question,

00:20:13.680 you're not doing your job.

00:20:16.060 You need a president who says, all right,

00:20:18.360 here are all the standard things we've talked about.

00:20:21.560 Now, you better tell me why I can't do a non-standard thing.

00:20:25.300 Why can't I do something outside this box of options?

00:20:28.480 Tell me, if I go outside this box, tell me what's going to happen.

00:20:32.320 That's what Trump does all the time.

00:20:35.240 His most basic way of managing is,

00:20:37.560 OK, now I'm thinking of something that's outside that box.

00:20:42.360 How much trouble would I get in if I do that?

00:20:45.220 It is the question you're supposed to ask.

00:20:47.680 If the answer comes back, if you get outside this box,

00:20:50.180 you're going to get creamed.

00:20:52.180 And then he says, OK, thank you.

00:20:54.100 And then he stays in his box.

00:20:56.080 Wasn't that exactly what you want?

00:20:59.160 Somehow the Democrats have made good, basic leadership,

00:21:04.100 which is asking all the questions,

00:21:06.260 the questions inside the box,

00:21:08.400 but importantly, the ones outside the box.

00:21:11.320 Those might be the important ones.

00:21:13.680 And every time they describe Trump doing exactly what I want my leader to do,

00:21:17.880 as if it's a mistake, I always say the same thing.

00:21:21.280 Do Democrats know anything about leadership?

00:21:23.460 It's as if they don't even know what it is.

00:21:27.380 Like it's some weird concept.

00:21:29.520 Right?

00:21:30.000 Yeah.

00:21:30.520 They don't understand human motivation.

00:21:32.940 If you don't understand human motivation,

00:21:35.080 and you can see that in a number of examples of the systems they prefer.

00:21:39.220 If you don't understand the human motivation,

00:21:41.900 how could you possibly understand leadership?

00:21:45.620 Right?

00:21:46.840 Those two are linked.

00:21:47.880 There's no such thing as leadership without a big variable about human motivation,

00:21:54.680 because that's what the leader tweaks.

00:21:57.400 That's what they work on.

00:21:58.560 They work on your motivation to motivate you to do what they want.

00:22:02.760 All right.

00:22:05.240 So now that the January 6th hearings have shown that Trump clearly was not trying to do an illegal insurrection,

00:22:12.960 and clearly it was not planned, or at least there's no evidence of it.

00:22:17.760 And so what are the people who have bet everything on this and now lost the bet,

00:22:25.040 because there was nothing there?

00:22:26.420 How do they act?

00:22:28.320 Do they say, wow, well, we looked, and I'm glad we looked.

00:22:31.800 There were some flags there.

00:22:33.780 There were some red flags.

00:22:35.020 And by the way, I agree there were some red flags.

00:22:37.920 Would anybody disagree with that?

00:22:40.300 I do think this was worth looking into.

00:22:42.960 You know, I had, I wish it had been done better, you know, in a different way.

00:22:49.160 But I think the Republicans ended up, they pursued what I would say is a risky strategy

00:22:54.920 by not supporting the, you know, members of the thing.

00:22:59.600 So, you know, McConnell withdrew their support because they didn't get the people on the committee

00:23:05.300 that they wanted, but those people were also implicated in the actual allegations.

00:23:11.200 So that was a little gamesmanship, right?

00:23:15.080 So it was mostly gamesmanship and politics that Mitch McConnell decided not to participate.

00:23:22.580 So it was a show trial, and then the show showed that Trump basically was not guilty of the primary allegations.

00:23:30.900 So now they're backing up from, well, we didn't mean he planned an insurrection.

00:23:37.620 Did it sound like that?

00:23:39.740 Oh, well, McCarthy, I'm sorry, let me correct that, being corrected.

00:23:44.900 It was McCarthy, not McConnell, who pulled down or participated in the hearings.

00:23:50.040 So, do you all get that correction?

00:23:53.300 It wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't McConnell.

00:23:56.320 But whenever I see a clever political thing, I think I'm biased toward thinking it was McConnell.

00:24:01.200 I mean, you can hate that fucker as much as you want, but he knows how to do this stuff.

00:24:06.220 Same with Pelosi, right?

00:24:07.980 No matter what you think of Pelosi, don't you ever have this feeling,

00:24:11.820 God damn it, she does get some stuff done for her side, right?

00:24:20.220 As old as they are, they do get stuff done, for their team anyway, even if you wish they wouldn't.

00:24:27.420 So now, since the main insurrection, planning an insurrection thing has been completely debunked,

00:24:34.400 does the news go back and say, well, we checked it out, they were serious allegations,

00:24:40.200 and there were some red flags there, we checked it out, we found nothing.

00:24:45.200 So, let's go on with our lives, glad we checked.

00:24:48.220 Is that what they'll say?

00:24:50.120 No.

00:24:51.240 No, they won't.

00:24:52.840 They will show you no evidence until you saw it.

00:24:56.960 Same with Russia collusion.

00:24:59.280 They will prove by looking for it and not finding it, if you can call that proof.

00:25:03.840 They will show that there's no evidence whatsoever of their allegations,

00:25:07.300 and then at the same time, they'll tell you that they found them,

00:25:11.380 and there were plenty of them, and oh my God, there's so many, I can't even get into them.

00:25:15.520 And their base will actually believe that.

00:25:19.580 Now, we don't have to guess if that can happen, because we watched it.

00:25:24.640 And it's happening right in front of us in real time.

00:25:27.560 It happened with the Russia collusion.

00:25:29.280 When it was shown that there was no evidence for Russia collusion,

00:25:33.780 instead of just saying, whoops, you know, there were some signals there,

00:25:36.940 but I'm glad there's none there, glad we checked.

00:25:39.900 Instead, they made it sound like Russia interference in the election

00:25:44.500 was really sort of the same story, and really it's been proven to be true,

00:25:48.580 so it's really the same as collusion.

00:25:51.320 And they sold that.

00:25:52.500 Ask a Democrat if Trump was colluding with Russia,

00:25:57.540 and they'll say yes, and it was shown, it was proven.

00:26:01.100 And then you ask them, like, what?

00:26:03.520 And then they'll describe that the Russians had some memes,

00:26:08.860 and that's it.

00:26:10.220 $100,000 worth of memes that nobody saw.

00:26:13.060 That's it.

00:26:13.920 And then they'll say that Russia collusion was...

00:26:15.600 Now, as batshit crazy as that sounds,

00:26:18.420 that's standard cognitive dissonance.

00:26:20.200 If you didn't know what cognitive dissonance is,

00:26:24.760 that would make no sense to you.

00:26:26.340 You would think they were lying, right?

00:26:28.960 Some of them are.

00:26:30.620 But mostly, they actually believe their own story,

00:26:33.820 because the brain can't hold the fact that they were that wrong

00:26:37.260 about something that important.

00:26:39.140 So the brain allows them to be right by just redefining stuff.

00:26:43.580 Now, correct me if I'm wrong,

00:26:46.680 but I've decided that if America ever split up,

00:26:50.560 you know, we're talking about red state, blue state kind of thing,

00:26:53.120 I don't think it's going to happen.

00:26:54.460 But if it ever did happen,

00:26:56.840 you would have the Republican part of the country

00:26:59.240 would continue to follow the Constitution.

00:27:04.080 Right?

00:27:04.980 I think that's a fair prediction.

00:27:07.500 The red part would just say,

00:27:08.680 well, we'll keep the Constitution,

00:27:09.900 and this will be the country.

00:27:10.540 The blue part, I believe, would start a new system

00:27:14.340 that would focus less on the Constitution

00:27:16.960 and more on their primary way of operating,

00:27:20.860 which is to change the definition of normal words

00:27:24.200 until they can put you in jail.

00:27:28.080 And that sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?

00:27:31.100 That they would have a system of governing

00:27:32.980 of which the operating system,

00:27:35.580 the basic prevailing, you know,

00:27:37.500 the biggest theme that goes across all of it

00:27:39.800 is that they can change the definition

00:27:42.060 of a standard word that's been used forever,

00:27:44.640 and that by changing the definition of that word,

00:27:47.800 they can make you a criminal.

00:27:50.840 Right?

00:27:51.560 So they can look at Trump and say,

00:27:53.900 all right, we saw you do a bunch of things,

00:27:55.620 and we're going to change the definition of insurrection

00:27:58.300 to be what you're doing there.

00:28:02.560 That's it.

00:28:03.360 All they did is change the definition of an insurrection

00:28:06.080 to make it look like it fit.

00:28:08.500 Now, you say to yourself, well, that's a one-off.

00:28:11.440 That's a one-off, right?

00:28:13.640 But it isn't.

00:28:15.060 Because, right, as I'm being prompted in the comments,

00:28:18.160 remember when he talked to Raffzenberger,

00:28:20.000 and he said, in the context of an audit,

00:28:23.500 he said you only need to find 11,000 votes

00:28:26.000 to change the outcome.

00:28:27.080 And the Democrats changed the word find

00:28:30.700 into lie and cheat,

00:28:33.900 which was the opposite of what was in evidence.

00:28:38.060 What was in evidence is they were talking about an audit.

00:28:40.680 The person talking believed that the votes

00:28:43.680 had been miscounted,

00:28:45.180 and miscounted against him,

00:28:47.440 and that all that Raffzenberger needed to do

00:28:49.540 is find the votes that Trump believed existed

00:28:53.420 and had not been counted.

00:28:55.440 That's it.

00:28:56.300 Or vice versa, find some votes were counted

00:28:58.560 that they shouldn't have been.

00:29:00.220 And the Democrats turned that into lying and cheating.

00:29:04.480 A common word, find.

00:29:07.360 And how about protests got turned into insurrection?

00:29:11.180 And now, believe it or fucking not,

00:29:14.900 they are literally trying to convince you

00:29:17.060 that the standard definition

00:29:19.080 that has served us forever

00:29:20.800 of a recession,

00:29:23.300 which is two consecutive quarters of negative growth,

00:29:26.300 is no longer the definition of a recession,

00:29:30.460 and that it must be looked at in a holistic way

00:29:32.860 for the first time.

00:29:34.860 We never did before.

00:29:36.800 But now they need to change the definition of recession

00:29:39.520 so that the thing we're going to experience

00:29:42.060 and observe with our own eyes

00:29:43.500 and our own bodies

00:29:44.720 isn't what it used to be.

00:29:46.860 Now it's something else.

00:29:49.280 And a CNN headline,

00:29:51.600 and I'm not making this up.

00:29:53.100 This is going to sound like a joke.

00:29:54.360 This will sound like it came from

00:29:57.160 the Babylon Bee parody website.

00:30:01.020 Swear to God, I'm not making this up.

00:30:03.480 An actual fucking headline

00:30:05.020 from CNN today.

00:30:09.340 This is a CNN headline.

00:30:12.600 Who decides if the U.S. is in a recession?

00:30:16.040 Eight white economists you've never heard of.

00:30:18.300 Eight white economists you've never heard of.

00:30:24.360 Can you all join me in just a heavy sigh?

00:30:29.840 I don't even feel like I need to talk about it, do I?

00:30:33.100 Because anything I say, your head is already there.

00:30:35.840 So join me.

00:30:36.620 I will read it again,

00:30:37.620 and I'd like to get a simultaneous sigh.

00:30:40.080 This will be our first simultaneous heavy sigh.

00:30:43.060 Okay?

00:30:43.880 And wait for the prompt.

00:30:47.160 CNN headline.

00:30:48.000 Who decides if the U.S. is in a recession?

00:30:51.880 Eight white economists you've never heard of.

00:31:02.000 Moving on.

00:31:07.360 I think I saw this in The Hill.

00:31:09.260 There was some publication.

00:31:11.780 There was some study that says a new poll.

00:31:14.640 A majority of Americans say the U.S. government is corrupt.

00:31:21.000 And almost a third of Americans

00:31:22.960 say it may soon be necessary to take up arms against it.

00:31:28.700 So one third of the...

00:31:31.120 Now remember, that includes Democrats.

00:31:34.720 So one third means something like 80% of...

00:31:38.340 Actually, they had the number.

00:31:40.600 Some gigantic percent of Republicans, obviously, are saying that.

00:31:43.540 Now, again, here's the context that the news always leaves out.

00:31:49.900 When was the last time you were in a group of Republicans

00:31:53.040 who did not say they might have to take up arms against the government?

00:31:58.540 I think the proper context for a study like this is,

00:32:02.860 and we should note,

00:32:04.440 that 100% of Republicans 100% of the time

00:32:08.060 say we might be getting close to needing to take up arms

00:32:11.560 against our own government.

00:32:12.460 Again, it's the operating system of Republicans.

00:32:18.180 It's not a fucking poll.

00:32:20.920 It's a definition of a Republican.

00:32:23.680 If I were going to define Republican,

00:32:26.600 you know, like a funny summary,

00:32:29.340 it would be someone who thinks that at any minute

00:32:31.520 they're going to have to shoot their own government

00:32:33.820 to keep them in line.

00:32:35.640 Am I wrong?

00:32:37.640 A Republican, by definition,

00:32:39.360 is somebody who thinks at any moment

00:32:41.020 I might need to shoot a government official

00:32:43.600 to keep them in line.

00:32:47.780 I'm not talking about an insurrection.

00:32:50.400 I'm talking about keeping the government

00:32:52.100 from abusing you.

00:32:53.860 There's nothing more basic to the Republican personality

00:32:58.040 than, yeah, I gave my government some power.

00:33:01.380 I'm not comfortable with it.

00:33:03.040 But I did keep one right.

00:33:06.560 Am I right?

00:33:08.340 What does a Republican hate worse

00:33:10.640 than giving rights to the government,

00:33:13.020 you know, powers to the government?

00:33:14.140 Nothing.

00:33:14.360 There's nothing they hate worse than that.

00:33:16.520 But they did keep one right for themselves,

00:33:19.720 the right to shoot those fucking assholes 0.94

00:33:21.640 if they go too far.

00:33:24.160 I mean, it's really the right to own a gun,

00:33:26.140 but it ends up being the same thing.

00:33:29.240 So I'm not sure that we should do polls

00:33:31.260 when all you're really doing

00:33:32.860 is finding out the definition of a Republican

00:33:34.860 and reporting it like something changed.

00:33:37.900 I don't think anything changed.

00:33:40.580 All right.

00:33:40.880 All right.

00:33:44.360 I would like to thank the January 6th Committee

00:33:48.100 for my victory.

00:33:51.040 You know, I've been saying since the beginning

00:33:52.700 there's no evidence of Trump

00:33:54.900 forming any kind of an insurrection,

00:33:56.840 but I don't think I could have

00:33:58.440 operated in society successfully

00:34:02.320 unless the hearings had shown me correct.

00:34:04.920 And now, as Mark Levin has pointed out

00:34:07.580 on his show, I think last night,

00:34:09.520 Mark Levin was saying the same thing I said,

00:34:12.180 which is nothing happened.

00:34:15.280 There's no evidence whatsoever.

00:34:16.760 And all the evidence we did get,

00:34:18.260 the stuff that's new,

00:34:19.780 such as the knowledge certain

00:34:21.380 that Don Jr. didn't know about

00:34:23.020 any insurrection plan, that's for sure,

00:34:26.460 we now know that there was no evidence

00:34:29.020 and that I've been exonerated

00:34:31.100 by the January 6th Committee.

00:34:33.820 So I would like to thank them all

00:34:35.600 for their service.

00:34:36.420 I think they have some more.

00:34:37.240 Special thanks to our representatives

00:34:39.980 Kinzinger and Cheney,

00:34:43.540 who I have to admit,

00:34:44.740 I had a negative initial thought

00:34:46.760 about their participation.

00:34:49.540 But now that they've exonerated me

00:34:51.500 and President Trump,

00:34:53.560 I would like to thank them for their service

00:34:55.620 because there were some red flags there.

00:34:58.380 I think we need to be smarter

00:35:00.040 about agreeing when there's a red flag,

00:35:03.480 but understanding that doesn't mean

00:35:05.780 there's really a crime.

00:35:07.920 It just means there's something

00:35:08.780 to look into.

00:35:10.180 I'm kind of glad we looked

00:35:11.500 into the Russia collusion thing,

00:35:14.020 you know, given that unfortunately

00:35:15.320 it was an allegation that was out there.

00:35:18.540 We kind of had to look into it

00:35:20.020 as much as I hated it.

00:35:22.300 So I respect their service

00:35:25.020 and thank you for clearing me

00:35:27.440 and exonerating the president,

00:35:28.980 opening up his path to the presidency.

00:35:31.620 Trump, that is.

00:35:32.420 So I think they've pretty much

00:35:34.060 guaranteed his win.

00:35:35.140 I don't think Trump could have won

00:35:36.700 without the January 6th hearings.

00:35:39.860 I think this is the key to his comeback.

00:35:42.920 And I think that McCarthy not participating

00:35:45.560 in the long run is going to look like

00:35:48.360 one of the smartest political plays

00:35:51.140 of all times.

00:35:52.200 Because imagine if the Republicans

00:35:53.740 had participated.

00:35:55.100 I mean, in a meaningful way,

00:35:56.400 not Kinzinger and Cheney.

00:35:58.080 Um, if they had participated,

00:36:01.520 it would look like they had

00:36:04.020 to defend themselves.

00:36:05.940 What does it look like

00:36:07.160 when you don't even bother

00:36:08.200 to defend yourself?

00:36:10.280 It looks like you didn't need to.

00:36:12.720 You know, one of the baller plays

00:36:15.780 that your defense attorney can do

00:36:17.700 is to not present a case in rebuttal.

00:36:21.760 That's like a pretty baller move

00:36:23.340 if you get away with it.

00:36:24.720 Basically, the move is,

00:36:25.820 well, you just watched

00:36:26.500 the entire prosecution

00:36:27.620 and they didn't have anything.

00:36:30.040 I'm not going to waste your time,

00:36:31.660 ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

00:36:33.520 given that right in front of you,

00:36:35.040 you saw that there was no case.

00:36:36.860 I don't need to present a case

00:36:38.460 that there's no case

00:36:39.440 because the prosecution just did it.

00:36:42.360 They just did my work for me.

00:36:44.300 All of their discovery,

00:36:45.460 all of their testimony

00:36:46.220 goes to the innocence of my victim,

00:36:49.040 of my victim, of my client.

00:36:51.560 And so, with your, with respect

00:36:53.300 and with your permission,

00:36:54.660 ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

00:36:56.100 I'd like to leave this

00:36:56.980 to your decision-making.

00:36:58.260 I think you've seen enough.

00:36:59.920 There's nothing I can add to this.

00:37:01.880 The case is over.

00:37:03.580 And in effect, that's what McCarthy did.

00:37:06.140 Now, I don't know if that was his intention

00:37:07.940 or what forces were operating on him,

00:37:09.940 but I'll tell you this,

00:37:11.580 probably it had to do with Trump

00:37:15.000 more than McCarthy.

00:37:17.040 Am I right?

00:37:18.860 Do you think McCarthy

00:37:19.580 made that decision himself?

00:37:21.540 Or do you think it was Trump?

00:37:24.000 And if Trump made the decision

00:37:25.640 to not have a defense,

00:37:29.280 and he pulled this off,

00:37:32.060 it's the play of the year.

00:37:34.420 I don't know.

00:37:35.140 It's premature.

00:37:36.880 I don't know that Trump was behind it,

00:37:38.700 and I don't know that

00:37:39.640 that's the outcome exactly yet.

00:37:41.320 But it looks like it.

00:37:42.620 At this point,

00:37:43.280 it looks like he took

00:37:44.120 a very high-risk play,

00:37:45.880 not defending himself,

00:37:47.960 and it worked perfectly.

00:37:51.760 Because there wasn't anything,

00:37:53.100 there was no evidence of his crime.

00:37:54.960 Now, Trump is the only person

00:37:57.120 who could have known

00:37:59.140 that play would work.

00:38:01.640 Because he's the only person

00:38:03.280 who knows exactly what he did

00:38:04.920 and did not do.

00:38:06.320 Nobody else knew.

00:38:07.340 Even the people closest to Trump

00:38:09.720 don't know every conversation

00:38:11.020 he's ever had.

00:38:12.400 Even though I joke that,

00:38:13.900 obviously, Don Jr.

00:38:14.960 would have to be in on a coup,

00:38:16.640 even Don Jr. doesn't know

00:38:17.960 what Trump is doing all day long,

00:38:20.060 who he talked to,

00:38:21.080 what calls him,

00:38:21.620 but nobody knows that.

00:38:22.520 There's literally one person

00:38:23.840 in the world

00:38:24.400 who could have known

00:38:26.300 that not putting on a defense

00:38:28.880 would work.

00:38:30.200 Only the person who knew

00:38:33.320 he didn't do anything wrong.

00:38:35.520 He's the only person

00:38:36.480 who could have known that for sure.

00:38:38.480 And I think this was his play.

00:38:41.380 And I think it worked.

00:38:43.820 It looks like it worked.

00:38:45.860 Now, of course,

00:38:46.760 half the country will say

00:38:48.240 it didn't work

00:38:48.820 and he's been proven guilty

00:38:49.980 because that's the way it works.

00:38:52.000 But it looks like it worked.

00:38:54.240 It looks like it worked.

00:38:55.280 And once again,

00:38:58.760 you'll see that

00:39:00.380 the things have gotten so bad

00:39:02.500 in terms of the gaslighting

00:39:03.640 in this country

00:39:04.160 that we won't know

00:39:05.560 the difference between

00:39:06.380 the thing and the opposite

00:39:07.520 of the thing.

00:39:08.800 We are observing in real time

00:39:10.580 that there's no evidence

00:39:11.540 for the allegations

00:39:12.380 of a planned insurrection.

00:39:15.340 We're seeing it

00:39:15.960 right in front of us.

00:39:17.360 But half of the country

00:39:18.140 will literally look

00:39:18.920 at the same thing

00:39:19.700 you're looking at

00:39:20.340 and say,

00:39:21.780 I saw plenty of evidence.

00:39:24.360 And so I would

00:39:25.100 offer you,

00:39:26.220 and I tweeted this earlier,

00:39:27.880 if you want to see

00:39:29.020 what cognitive dissonance

00:39:30.480 looks like and practice,

00:39:32.960 this is actually,

00:39:33.980 this will sound like a joke,

00:39:35.220 but it's not a joke.

00:39:36.560 You should practice

00:39:37.940 identifying cognitive dissonance

00:39:40.100 in those rare situations

00:39:41.820 where you know

00:39:42.460 you can produce it.

00:39:44.200 Sometimes it just pops up

00:39:45.540 in the wild

00:39:47.160 and you don't know

00:39:48.500 there was any trigger,

00:39:49.400 so you don't know

00:39:49.900 if that's really

00:39:50.360 cognitive dissonance

00:39:51.300 or it's just somebody

00:39:52.080 acting weird.

00:39:53.260 But if you know

00:39:54.480 you can trigger it,

00:39:56.320 then you get

00:39:56.820 to watch the face

00:39:57.780 and then you can

00:39:59.120 recognize the look

00:40:00.160 because there's a look.

00:40:02.340 The best way

00:40:02.940 I can describe it

00:40:03.700 is a person

00:40:05.100 who looks like

00:40:05.760 their eyes have light

00:40:07.020 and there's some intelligence,

00:40:08.840 they will suddenly

00:40:09.420 turn into an NPC

00:40:10.600 for about half a minute.

00:40:14.140 So let me give you,

00:40:15.540 this won't help

00:40:16.200 if you're listening

00:40:16.760 on Spotify,

00:40:17.920 but I'm going to give you

00:40:18.740 my visual representation

00:40:20.300 of somebody being triggered

00:40:21.580 into cognitive dissonance.

00:40:22.820 They'll start like I am.

00:40:25.200 You can see that I have

00:40:26.040 the light of intelligence

00:40:27.600 in my eyes,

00:40:28.420 I hope,

00:40:29.040 unless I'm an NPC.

00:40:30.960 But it looks like

00:40:31.580 if you looked in my eyes

00:40:32.720 you'd say,

00:40:33.120 oh, he's thinking,

00:40:34.300 there's stuff going on there.

00:40:35.380 The moment cognitive dissonance

00:40:36.880 goes in,

00:40:38.000 the eyes change

00:40:39.140 and they get...

00:40:39.820 and then things

00:40:44.740 come out of their mouth

00:40:45.820 that seem disconnected

00:40:48.200 with the light of intelligence

00:40:49.600 that used to be

00:40:50.460 in the eyes.

00:40:51.380 The light of intelligence

00:40:52.480 just clicks off.

00:40:55.400 Yeah,

00:40:55.620 and you'll see word salad,

00:40:57.280 you'll see word salad,

00:40:58.680 you'll see anger,

00:41:00.360 you'll see completely

00:41:01.740 irrational arguments

00:41:03.140 that something proves

00:41:04.420 something that doesn't

00:41:05.540 even make sense.

00:41:06.180 and shark eyes,

00:41:09.000 somebody says,

00:41:09.460 they'll have shark eyes.

00:41:10.840 Confusion,

00:41:11.400 word salad,

00:41:11.940 yeah.

00:41:12.480 So the way you can

00:41:13.180 trigger that

00:41:13.700 is to say

00:41:14.340 that the January 6th

00:41:16.540 committee was a big success

00:41:17.900 because it cleared

00:41:18.900 Trump

00:41:19.460 of insurrection charges

00:41:21.820 and opened his path

00:41:24.140 to the White House.

00:41:26.200 Say that to a Democrat

00:41:27.520 and then look at the eyes.

00:41:31.900 Seriously.

00:41:32.600 No,

00:41:32.880 there's no joke here.

00:41:33.600 Seriously?

00:41:34.720 I sounded like Joe Biden there.

00:41:37.900 No,

00:41:38.280 no joke.

00:41:41.100 Yeah.

00:41:42.540 All right.

00:41:43.520 So try that.

00:41:46.840 Let's see.

00:41:49.520 So there's a,

00:41:50.720 the Wall Street Journal

00:41:51.480 did some kind of a weird

00:41:52.760 hit piece on Musk.

00:41:55.540 Here's the story

00:41:56.540 which I think

00:41:57.460 has been completely debunked.

00:41:59.940 Musk says

00:42:00.880 that there's no truth to it

00:42:02.140 and there's evidence

00:42:03.400 that there's no truth to it.

00:42:05.060 But apparently

00:42:06.120 the Wall Street Journal

00:42:06.900 is reporting

00:42:07.920 that one of the founders

00:42:09.920 of Google,

00:42:10.800 Sergi Brin,

00:42:12.180 broke up with his wife

00:42:13.640 because his wife

00:42:14.460 had an affair

00:42:15.020 with Elon Musk.

00:42:17.140 Elon Musk says

00:42:18.140 he's never even

00:42:18.780 been alone with her.

00:42:20.060 Like he's only met her

00:42:20.840 in some places

00:42:21.520 with,

00:42:22.120 you know,

00:42:22.280 where other people

00:42:23.060 were there.

00:42:23.980 A few times,

00:42:24.640 that's it.

00:42:25.100 He doesn't even know her

00:42:25.780 basically.

00:42:27.080 Except for those few,

00:42:28.420 you know,

00:42:28.680 public events.

00:42:29.480 And then here's

00:42:31.580 the funny part.

00:42:33.280 Oh,

00:42:33.540 and the story says

00:42:34.380 that Musk got caught

00:42:36.320 in the affair

00:42:37.020 and allegedly

00:42:38.040 got down on one knee

00:42:39.300 and begged

00:42:39.900 Sergi Brin

00:42:40.740 for forgiveness.

00:42:44.680 Can I get

00:42:45.760 a simultaneous sigh?

00:42:48.520 Can I?

00:42:49.600 Yeah,

00:42:49.980 this is a little bit

00:42:51.120 too on the nose.

00:42:53.220 Right?

00:42:54.020 Do you have to wonder

00:42:55.220 if this is fucking true?

00:42:56.760 It's not fucking true.

00:43:01.100 As soon as you see

00:43:02.180 this part,

00:43:02.880 he got down

00:43:03.360 on one knee

00:43:03.900 and begged

00:43:04.320 Brin for forgiveness.

00:43:06.260 Please,

00:43:07.380 please,

00:43:08.620 who thinks

00:43:09.360 that happened?

00:43:10.600 Really?

00:43:11.900 Really?

00:43:13.840 Come on.

00:43:15.360 And,

00:43:17.000 so,

00:43:17.420 but here's

00:43:17.940 the funniest part.

00:43:19.060 So,

00:43:19.280 Musk responded 0.93

00:43:20.300 by showing a selfie

00:43:21.500 that he just took

00:43:22.900 partying with

00:43:23.560 Sergi Brin.

00:43:24.700 So,

00:43:25.000 apparently,

00:43:25.380 those two

00:43:25.720 don't have any issues.

00:43:26.760 So,

00:43:27.460 that part

00:43:27.960 seems to be

00:43:28.480 demonstrated.

00:43:29.580 But then,

00:43:30.000 Musk said this

00:43:30.780 in a tweet.

00:43:33.740 I'll let you

00:43:34.700 wrestle with this

00:43:35.560 yourself.

00:43:37.160 He said that he

00:43:37.800 hasn't,

00:43:38.320 in fact,

00:43:39.060 he hasn't had

00:43:39.640 sex in months

00:43:40.420 because he's

00:43:40.880 too busy.

00:43:45.780 I'd like to

00:43:46.800 introduce

00:43:47.520 the world's

00:43:49.580 first

00:43:50.060 simultaneous

00:43:53.200 scoff.

00:43:54.180 Now,

00:43:56.680 I'm going to

00:43:56.960 combine this

00:43:57.540 with a

00:43:57.880 simultaneous

00:43:58.420 sip.

00:43:59.900 And I'd like

00:44:00.320 you all to

00:44:00.760 join me.

00:44:01.900 And again,

00:44:02.320 I'll prompt

00:44:02.740 you,

00:44:03.620 but it's

00:44:03.980 going to

00:44:04.140 go like

00:44:04.500 this.

00:44:06.960 In this

00:44:07.580 case,

00:44:08.220 the beverage

00:44:09.640 will just

00:44:10.160 be a prop.

00:44:11.920 And so,

00:44:12.300 once I read

00:44:12.860 you the

00:44:13.600 lead-in,

00:44:14.440 I want you

00:44:15.400 to do

00:44:15.660 this.

00:44:15.940 You have

00:44:22.940 to do it

00:44:23.260 just like

00:44:23.640 that.

00:44:24.680 Right?

00:44:24.840 So,

00:44:25.100 remember,

00:44:25.580 the sip

00:44:25.900 is just

00:44:26.260 a prompt.

00:44:27.300 It's just

00:44:27.900 a prop.

00:44:29.200 All right?

00:44:29.860 So,

00:44:30.320 I'm going to

00:44:30.560 read the

00:44:31.500 news story

00:44:32.060 again.

00:44:34.580 And then,

00:44:35.140 you give me

00:44:35.600 the simultaneous

00:44:36.640 scoff.

00:44:37.680 But I'm

00:44:38.280 going to

00:44:38.480 add a little

00:44:38.960 to it,

00:44:39.340 okay?

00:44:40.180 So,

00:44:40.500 I'll enhance

00:44:41.540 it a little

00:44:41.840 bit.

00:44:42.660 So,

00:44:42.900 according to

00:44:43.260 the Wall

00:44:43.520 Street Journal,

00:44:44.020 the richest

00:44:44.760 man in

00:44:45.280 the world,

00:44:46.020 who is

00:44:46.480 single,

00:44:48.280 and flies

00:44:49.960 around anywhere

00:44:50.660 he wants and

00:44:51.360 does anything

00:44:51.820 he wants in

00:44:52.340 his private

00:44:52.720 jet,

00:44:53.580 according to

00:44:54.160 them,

00:44:54.680 or according

00:44:55.080 to Musk,

00:44:56.280 he hasn't

00:44:57.160 had sex

00:44:57.740 in months.

00:45:09.820 Okay.

00:45:14.020 Now,

00:45:15.760 you have to

00:45:17.600 love Elon

00:45:18.960 Musk for 0.60

00:45:19.500 that.

00:45:20.720 Because,

00:45:22.080 first of all,

00:45:22.800 here's a

00:45:23.100 question.

00:45:24.560 Is it a

00:45:25.120 lie if you

00:45:25.900 know it's

00:45:26.380 not true?

00:45:29.080 It's sort

00:45:29.680 of a weird

00:45:30.000 question,

00:45:30.420 right?

00:45:31.060 Is it a

00:45:31.660 lie if you

00:45:32.800 know it's

00:45:33.180 not true?

00:45:34.580 That couldn't

00:45:35.280 possibly be

00:45:35.940 true.

00:45:37.040 Now,

00:45:37.260 if the real

00:45:38.480 story,

00:45:39.020 he has some

00:45:39.520 medical problem,

00:45:40.440 I'd say,

00:45:40.820 oh,

00:45:41.040 okay.

00:45:41.180 But he

00:45:43.800 probably would

00:45:44.280 have mentioned

00:45:44.640 it, you

00:45:45.220 know,

00:45:45.440 because it

00:45:45.900 seems like

00:45:46.260 it would be

00:45:46.600 important to

00:45:47.100 the story.

00:45:48.200 No.

00:45:51.640 Oh,

00:45:52.200 that's funny.

00:45:54.140 All right.

00:45:58.800 I believe

00:45:59.560 I've covered

00:46:00.620 everything.

00:46:02.020 It was a

00:46:02.380 very newsy

00:46:02.960 day.

00:46:04.060 Did I talk

00:46:04.500 about Bob

00:46:05.020 the engineer

00:46:05.500 yet?

00:46:07.060 Or did I

00:46:07.860 imagine it?

00:46:09.140 Did I do

00:46:09.560 that yet?

00:46:11.180 I was

00:46:11.680 talking to

00:46:11.980 the locals

00:46:12.360 people before

00:46:12.980 I came on

00:46:13.580 live here.

00:46:14.320 I don't think

00:46:14.640 I did.

00:46:16.180 All right.

00:46:16.620 Well,

00:46:17.120 so there's a

00:46:17.800 good chance

00:46:18.320 that I will

00:46:18.860 be canceled

00:46:19.420 by the time

00:46:20.040 I'm done

00:46:20.600 here.

00:46:20.920 Not because

00:46:21.480 of something

00:46:21.840 I said

00:46:22.240 today,

00:46:23.520 but because

00:46:24.600 of a comic

00:46:25.100 that ran

00:46:25.560 today in

00:46:26.660 which some

00:46:27.600 of you know

00:46:27.960 I introduced

00:46:28.520 a new

00:46:28.880 character called

00:46:30.300 Bob.

00:46:31.800 I'm sorry,

00:46:32.200 not Bob.

00:46:33.320 Let me talk

00:46:33.800 about Dave.

00:46:35.600 So the

00:46:35.880 character's name

00:46:36.400 is Dave.

00:46:36.860 The reason

00:46:38.440 I said

00:46:38.760 Bob is

00:46:39.560 that I

00:46:39.800 have like

00:46:40.320 a,

00:46:41.200 I always

00:46:41.760 use Bob

00:46:42.240 as my

00:46:42.600 example name

00:46:43.340 if you've

00:46:44.000 noticed that

00:46:44.520 because it's

00:46:45.280 a funny

00:46:45.600 sounding name

00:46:46.200 and it's

00:46:46.460 a short

00:46:46.760 name.

00:46:47.800 So I

00:46:48.720 got

00:46:48.840 confused.

00:46:49.660 So Dave

00:46:49.980 the engineer

00:46:50.480 is a

00:46:51.340 black

00:46:51.720 engineer.

00:46:52.360 He's a

00:46:52.560 new

00:46:52.680 character

00:46:53.020 in

00:46:53.360 Dilbert

00:46:53.860 and the

00:46:55.140 backstory

00:46:55.540 is that

00:46:56.340 I wish

00:46:56.920 I'd

00:46:57.260 introduced

00:46:57.840 more

00:46:58.260 diversity

00:46:59.060 earlier

00:46:59.900 on,

00:47:00.740 but it's

00:47:01.500 a minefield.

00:47:02.120 if you're

00:47:03.100 a white

00:47:03.600 creator

00:47:04.480 and you

00:47:05.040 add a

00:47:05.420 black

00:47:05.660 character

00:47:06.140 or even

00:47:06.960 a female 0.98

00:47:07.360 character

00:47:07.760 anything

00:47:08.120 that isn't

00:47:08.600 you,

00:47:09.580 you're

00:47:09.880 going to

00:47:10.080 get

00:47:10.380 ages.

00:47:14.120 I think

00:47:15.360 he said

00:47:15.640 months

00:47:16.000 actually

00:47:16.340 in a

00:47:18.140 different

00:47:18.480 context.

00:47:20.580 But he

00:47:20.780 did say

00:47:21.100 ages as

00:47:21.660 well.

00:47:22.740 But anyway,

00:47:23.240 ages,

00:47:23.760 months,

00:47:24.020 whatever it

00:47:24.360 is.

00:47:24.540 It's still

00:47:24.820 funny.

00:47:26.740 So here's

00:47:27.460 what happened.

00:47:28.440 So I

00:47:28.920 create the

00:47:29.560 daily comics

00:47:30.420 in black

00:47:31.220 and white

00:47:31.680 line

00:47:32.320 drawings.

00:47:33.320 And then

00:47:33.580 the

00:47:33.780 colorization

00:47:34.460 is done

00:47:35.060 by a

00:47:35.840 third

00:47:36.040 party

00:47:36.380 that I

00:47:37.420 don't

00:47:37.580 know.

00:47:38.620 So somebody

00:47:39.180 I've never

00:47:39.620 met adds

00:47:40.940 the color

00:47:41.360 to the

00:47:41.780 daily comics.

00:47:43.100 Now

00:47:43.300 interestingly,

00:47:44.420 if you

00:47:45.360 like nerdy

00:47:45.980 behind-the-scenes

00:47:47.060 things,

00:47:48.220 I do the

00:47:48.840 color for,

00:47:49.720 or my

00:47:50.300 assistant does,

00:47:51.340 for the

00:47:51.960 Sunday comics.

00:47:53.760 So if you

00:47:54.220 see a

00:47:54.820 colorization

00:47:55.660 problem in

00:47:56.520 the Sunday

00:47:56.980 comic,

00:47:57.620 that's on

00:47:58.160 me.

00:47:59.240 If you

00:47:59.600 see a

00:47:59.920 colorization

00:48:00.540 problem in

00:48:01.160 the daily

00:48:01.600 comics,

00:48:02.180 you know,

00:48:02.400 the three

00:48:02.740 panel ones,

00:48:03.640 that means

00:48:04.080 that somebody

00:48:04.460 else that

00:48:05.180 I've never

00:48:05.520 even met

00:48:06.020 made that

00:48:06.980 problem.

00:48:08.640 So here

00:48:10.240 I did a

00:48:10.680 comic that

00:48:11.400 I only

00:48:12.540 thought was

00:48:13.080 safe enough

00:48:13.620 for me to

00:48:14.120 do because

00:48:15.080 the character

00:48:15.740 doing the

00:48:16.220 talking was

00:48:16.980 a black

00:48:17.540 character.

00:48:19.060 The colorizer

00:48:20.180 turned my

00:48:20.880 black character

00:48:21.680 white,

00:48:23.000 and the

00:48:23.680 backstory

00:48:24.080 would be

00:48:24.540 erased by

00:48:25.140 that,

00:48:26.060 and turned

00:48:27.360 it into

00:48:27.720 something that

00:48:28.240 I wouldn't

00:48:28.560 have published

00:48:29.100 because it

00:48:31.100 would be

00:48:31.620 sounding too

00:48:33.000 insulting.

00:48:34.360 So here's

00:48:35.060 the comic,

00:48:35.620 and you can

00:48:35.960 see my

00:48:37.280 black character

00:48:38.220 Dave has

00:48:39.000 been turned

00:48:39.440 white,

00:48:40.760 against my

00:48:42.180 will.

00:48:43.640 Now,

00:48:44.280 believe it or

00:48:44.740 not, I

00:48:45.140 don't get to

00:48:45.640 see these

00:48:46.080 before they're

00:48:46.600 published.

00:48:47.860 So there

00:48:48.200 was no,

00:48:48.760 there's no

00:48:49.680 part of the

00:48:50.000 process where

00:48:50.540 I see it and

00:48:51.080 approve the

00:48:51.740 coloring.

00:48:52.540 Now, normally

00:48:53.040 there's no

00:48:53.400 problem,

00:48:53.720 right?

00:48:54.920 And here's

00:48:55.540 what Dave

00:48:56.540 the engineer

00:48:57.080 who should

00:48:57.600 have been

00:48:57.840 black should

00:48:58.880 have said

00:48:59.300 to the

00:49:00.460 boss,

00:49:00.820 from now

00:49:01.180 on my

00:49:01.660 pronouns are

00:49:02.420 she and

00:49:03.100 her,

00:49:03.900 and I

00:49:04.300 will report

00:49:04.920 to HR

00:49:05.500 any bigoted

00:49:06.300 use of the

00:49:06.920 wrong pronoun.

00:49:08.300 And then the

00:49:08.740 boss says,

00:49:09.540 is this parody

00:49:10.280 or are you

00:49:10.960 serious?

00:49:12.060 And then Dave

00:49:12.760 says as he's

00:49:13.460 walking away,

00:49:14.260 I think you

00:49:14.800 will find it

00:49:15.280 doesn't matter.

00:49:16.980 Now, if you

00:49:18.540 make this

00:49:18.980 character black,

00:49:21.600 it adds a

00:49:22.360 whole new

00:49:22.760 flavor of

00:49:23.520 you understand

00:49:24.480 he's just

00:49:25.000 messing with

00:49:25.520 the system,

00:49:26.140 right?

00:49:27.180 If you make

00:49:27.960 the character

00:49:28.440 white,

00:49:30.760 you're not

00:49:31.680 really sure

00:49:32.180 if he is

00:49:32.600 serious,

00:49:34.360 right?

00:49:35.240 So I feel

00:49:36.800 like this

00:49:37.160 removed a

00:49:37.860 layer of

00:49:38.300 safety from

00:49:38.920 me in

00:49:39.840 which it

00:49:40.240 makes the

00:49:41.940 intention of

00:49:43.260 the author

00:49:43.700 ambiguous.

00:49:45.980 If the

00:49:46.720 black character

00:49:47.520 who is known

00:49:48.160 for screwing

00:49:48.960 with the

00:49:49.280 system,

00:49:50.640 screwed with

00:49:51.240 the system,

00:49:51.860 then you say,

00:49:52.340 oh, that's

00:49:52.780 what he

00:49:53.440 intended.

00:49:54.500 That guy

00:49:55.060 always screws

00:49:55.600 with the

00:49:55.880 system, so

00:49:56.980 there he

00:49:57.260 is doing

00:49:57.560 it again.

00:49:58.600 But if

00:49:59.120 it's a

00:49:59.440 different

00:49:59.740 character, you

00:50:00.340 don't know

00:50:00.800 if his

00:50:01.240 background is

00:50:01.920 he screws

00:50:02.420 with the

00:50:02.700 system or

00:50:03.180 if he's

00:50:03.420 serious.

00:50:04.640 So the

00:50:05.180 whole joke

00:50:06.320 falls apart.

00:50:07.660 Now, if

00:50:08.080 I don't get

00:50:10.080 some pushback

00:50:10.720 from this by

00:50:11.420 today, it

00:50:11.940 could mean

00:50:12.320 that people

00:50:12.880 are just

00:50:13.180 tired of the

00:50:13.700 whole pronoun

00:50:14.180 thing, which

00:50:15.360 I feel like

00:50:15.840 that's happening.

00:50:17.260 Does it feel

00:50:17.780 to you like

00:50:18.260 the pronoun

00:50:18.760 thing is

00:50:21.380 going to

00:50:21.960 die out?

00:50:24.420 It feels

00:50:25.000 like it.

00:50:25.880 Yeah, it

00:50:26.260 feels like it

00:50:26.700 lost its

00:50:27.160 energy.

00:50:29.000 But we'll

00:50:29.860 see if I

00:50:30.260 get canceled

00:50:30.760 for this.

00:50:31.860 So this

00:50:33.420 will amuse

00:50:33.940 you.

00:50:35.440 So I did

00:50:35.920 send a message

00:50:36.480 to my

00:50:37.180 editor to

00:50:38.020 ask the

00:50:38.520 person who

00:50:38.900 does the

00:50:39.340 colorizing to

00:50:40.880 give me a

00:50:41.460 call.

00:50:41.680 how worried

00:50:45.680 would you

00:50:46.060 be if

00:50:46.700 you were

00:50:46.920 the person

00:50:47.260 who does

00:50:47.600 the colorizing

00:50:48.360 and instead

00:50:49.880 of just

00:50:50.260 asking them

00:50:50.900 to correct

00:50:53.280 this next

00:50:53.820 time, if I

00:50:55.120 asked you to

00:50:55.600 call me

00:50:55.920 directly, that's

00:50:57.760 sort of a

00:50:58.060 no-shit

00:50:58.400 morning.

00:51:00.160 Now, I'm

00:51:00.740 going to be

00:51:01.020 gentle because

00:51:01.840 mistakes are

00:51:03.280 mistakes.

00:51:04.600 Typically,

00:51:05.680 I'm not going

00:51:06.940 to go off on

00:51:07.880 somebody for a

00:51:08.520 mistake.

00:51:09.920 So I need

00:51:11.020 to put that

00:51:11.440 out there.

00:51:12.280 I don't go

00:51:13.100 off on people

00:51:13.640 for mistakes.

00:51:15.260 I go off on

00:51:16.220 people for doing

00:51:16.820 something intentionally.

00:51:18.660 If you do

00:51:19.360 something intentionally

00:51:20.300 and I don't

00:51:21.560 like it, you're

00:51:22.640 probably going to

00:51:23.040 hear about it.

00:51:24.360 But if you,

00:51:25.200 you know, run

00:51:25.760 over my dog 0.99

00:51:26.720 and I'm

00:51:28.660 genuinely

00:51:29.080 convinced it

00:51:29.740 was an

00:51:30.040 accident, I'm

00:51:31.340 very sad about

00:51:32.100 my dog, but

00:51:34.020 I'm not mad at

00:51:34.640 you because

00:51:35.340 an accident's

00:51:35.960 an accident.

00:51:37.880 So, so

00:51:38.940 whoever did

00:51:40.400 the colorizing

00:51:41.140 probably wasn't

00:51:43.120 aware that I

00:51:44.220 have a standing

00:51:44.840 instructions to

00:51:46.480 make that

00:51:46.800 character black

00:51:47.540 and that it's

00:51:48.260 important.

00:51:49.420 So that would

00:51:50.240 just be a

00:51:50.620 mistake.

00:51:51.780 I'll make sure

00:51:52.520 it doesn't

00:51:52.780 happen again.

00:51:55.140 But I

00:51:55.360 wouldn't want

00:51:56.200 to...

00:51:56.800 All right,

00:52:03.320 so I just

00:52:03.800 got a notice

00:52:04.380 that the

00:52:04.740 correct version

00:52:05.520 is live.

00:52:06.500 Let's see

00:52:06.920 that.

00:52:07.120 let's call

00:52:08.460 that up and

00:52:09.160 see if the

00:52:09.580 correct version

00:52:10.320 is live.

00:52:14.060 It's going to

00:52:14.560 take a moment.

00:52:15.300 Oh, there it

00:52:15.640 is.

00:52:16.440 While I was

00:52:16.940 talking.

00:52:18.340 He got

00:52:18.940 recolorized

00:52:19.720 literally while I

00:52:20.540 was talking.

00:52:22.040 So there's the

00:52:22.860 new one.

00:52:24.760 So, so, but

00:52:28.180 here's the thing.

00:52:29.440 It's already in

00:52:30.420 newspapers.

00:52:30.840 So online,

00:52:33.900 Dave will be

00:52:34.480 black, but in

00:52:35.300 newspapers that

00:52:36.420 run color.

00:52:37.160 They don't all

00:52:37.700 run color on

00:52:38.320 the weekdays.

00:52:39.360 But a lot of

00:52:39.860 the newspapers

00:52:40.300 run color

00:52:40.900 comics on the

00:52:41.460 weekdays, and

00:52:42.180 so this character

00:52:43.420 will be a

00:52:43.880 different ethnicity

00:52:44.740 in those

00:52:45.220 comics.

00:52:46.760 All right.

00:52:49.520 You're going

00:52:50.000 to have to

00:52:50.500 probably refresh

00:52:52.720 the page to

00:52:54.180 get a change,

00:52:55.260 as I did.

00:52:55.780 Was there

00:52:57.460 any other

00:52:58.160 topic?

00:53:04.740 Can you

00:53:05.320 make an NFT

00:53:06.120 of the

00:53:06.740 White Dave? 0.76

00:53:08.440 Well, that

00:53:09.140 would be a

00:53:09.600 copyright violation.

00:53:12.060 But that's an

00:53:12.460 idea.

00:53:13.740 Oh, kids and

00:53:14.400 monkeypox.

00:53:16.040 All right.

00:53:16.780 So I was

00:53:17.740 going to tweet

00:53:18.180 this, but I

00:53:18.960 didn't want to

00:53:19.280 get canceled.

00:53:20.300 So I think I

00:53:21.380 can do this

00:53:21.940 live because

00:53:23.020 I'll add some

00:53:24.180 explanation.

00:53:24.720 Did you see

00:53:26.040 a tweet by

00:53:26.860 Ian Miles

00:53:30.220 Chung? 1.00

00:53:31.840 And it was

00:53:32.980 about the

00:53:33.420 story that

00:53:34.220 there were

00:53:36.020 two children

00:53:37.480 who had

00:53:38.260 monkeypox.

00:53:40.600 And they

00:53:43.620 believe that

00:53:44.240 they contracted

00:53:45.120 it at home.

00:53:47.180 And then

00:53:47.620 there's other

00:53:48.440 reporting that

00:53:49.160 suggests that

00:53:49.820 it might be

00:53:50.240 sexually 0.61

00:53:50.600 transmitted.

00:53:51.160 transmitted.

00:53:52.900 And the

00:53:55.620 tweet was,

00:53:56.800 are we

00:53:58.600 allowed to

00:53:59.060 ask any

00:53:59.520 questions?

00:54:01.140 Are we

00:54:01.840 allowed to

00:54:02.360 ask any

00:54:02.820 questions?

00:54:04.220 It might be

00:54:05.100 sexually 0.61

00:54:05.500 transmitted and

00:54:07.000 two children

00:54:07.680 got it in

00:54:08.280 their own

00:54:08.620 home.

00:54:10.000 And are

00:54:12.540 we allowed to

00:54:13.780 ask any

00:54:14.180 questions?

00:54:15.660 I love that

00:54:16.560 tweet.

00:54:17.240 That summed

00:54:17.940 up the

00:54:19.380 whole last

00:54:19.840 five years,

00:54:20.540 didn't it?

00:54:21.360 Are we

00:54:21.760 allowed to

00:54:22.700 ask any

00:54:23.300 questions?

00:54:25.860 Oh, my

00:54:26.620 God.

00:54:32.480 Any news

00:54:33.380 from behind

00:54:33.920 the curtains?

00:54:36.620 Well, I

00:54:38.900 did give you

00:54:39.400 some, which

00:54:41.280 is it's not

00:54:42.060 hard, that

00:54:45.740 it's not

00:54:46.120 hard to

00:54:48.240 hire some

00:54:48.820 Nazis.

00:54:50.540 So I

00:54:51.060 don't know

00:54:51.240 if you

00:54:51.420 knew that.

00:54:55.460 All

00:54:55.600 right.

00:55:03.440 Sudafed is 0.71

00:55:04.180 great, yeah.

00:55:05.860 So I

00:55:07.700 had an

00:55:08.000 interesting

00:55:08.320 experience.

00:55:09.660 I suspected

00:55:10.560 that I

00:55:12.200 don't have

00:55:12.680 real allergies,

00:55:13.900 even though I

00:55:14.460 appear to have

00:55:15.140 the worst

00:55:15.480 seasonal allergies

00:55:16.260 in the world,

00:55:17.080 and that it

00:55:17.940 was actually

00:55:18.320 food, and

00:55:20.040 that I

00:55:20.420 narrowed it

00:55:20.980 down to

00:55:21.400 cheese, and

00:55:23.920 I thought

00:55:24.320 there was

00:55:24.560 some kind

00:55:24.880 of sulfites

00:55:25.580 in the

00:55:25.900 cheese, because

00:55:27.160 that seems

00:55:27.640 to be my

00:55:28.160 allergy.

00:55:29.480 And sure

00:55:29.860 enough,

00:55:30.620 Parmesan

00:55:31.020 cheese has

00:55:32.120 sulfites.

00:55:33.220 And I've

00:55:33.820 avoided cheese

00:55:34.720 when my voice

00:55:36.280 was clear, and

00:55:37.180 you could tell

00:55:37.540 I didn't have

00:55:38.000 any congestion.

00:55:39.220 Those were

00:55:39.660 days that I'd

00:55:40.240 gone without

00:55:40.760 Parmesan cheese

00:55:41.620 for several

00:55:42.080 days.

00:55:42.400 When I

00:55:44.000 went to

00:55:44.600 an event,

00:55:46.380 really the

00:55:47.400 first event

00:55:48.160 where there

00:55:48.540 were lots

00:55:48.840 of people

00:55:49.200 this weekend,

00:55:50.200 in two

00:55:50.680 years, the

00:55:52.120 only food that

00:55:53.380 was vegetarian

00:55:54.000 had some

00:55:54.540 Parmesan

00:55:54.840 cheese.

00:55:56.440 And so I

00:55:56.800 said to

00:55:57.100 myself,

00:55:57.540 well, no,

00:55:58.320 it's not

00:55:58.600 lactose

00:55:59.020 intolerance.

00:55:59.760 So it

00:55:59.920 has nothing

00:56:00.300 to do with

00:56:00.820 the dairy.

00:56:02.220 It has

00:56:02.560 to do with

00:56:02.960 the additive

00:56:03.520 in one

00:56:04.120 kind of

00:56:04.520 cheese.

00:56:06.560 And

00:56:07.000 Parmesan

00:56:07.720 cheese, it

00:56:08.660 was sprinkled

00:56:09.120 with Parmesan

00:56:09.620 cheese, and

00:56:10.140 for three

00:56:10.580 days I've

00:56:11.220 had allergy

00:56:12.540 like symptoms.

00:56:14.560 And I

00:56:14.800 think if I

00:56:15.300 just go to

00:56:15.680 a couple

00:56:15.960 more days

00:56:16.440 without eating

00:56:17.060 any Parmesan

00:56:17.640 cheese, then

00:56:18.300 I'll be

00:56:18.580 clear again.

00:56:19.880 Now, here's

00:56:21.240 some of the

00:56:21.760 best life

00:56:27.560 advice you

00:56:28.500 could ever

00:56:28.860 get.

00:56:31.060 Some days,

00:56:32.380 if you could

00:56:33.040 pick like a

00:56:33.600 couple of

00:56:34.020 weeks and

00:56:35.240 try to bring

00:56:35.860 your diet

00:56:36.660 down to the

00:56:37.880 most minimum

00:56:38.780 clean diet

00:56:40.400 you can,

00:56:41.220 just for

00:56:41.880 like two

00:56:42.360 weeks as

00:56:43.300 an experiment.

00:56:44.980 And what I

00:56:45.280 mean by that

00:56:45.780 is just

00:56:46.160 eat vegetables

00:56:47.160 and avoid

00:56:49.480 anything with

00:56:50.120 a sauce on

00:56:50.880 it, and

00:56:51.440 just get

00:56:51.780 really, really

00:56:52.520 basic, and

00:56:54.340 see if your

00:56:55.040 allergies go

00:56:55.920 away.

00:56:57.000 Because I

00:56:57.540 have a

00:56:57.820 theory that

00:56:58.380 our food

00:56:58.860 is poisoned,

00:57:01.760 and not

00:57:02.420 every kind.

00:57:03.260 I think if

00:57:03.660 you get a

00:57:04.920 bag of

00:57:05.420 washed broccoli

00:57:06.440 florets,

00:57:07.280 you're probably

00:57:07.680 fine.

00:57:08.320 Probably, as

00:57:09.380 far as I

00:57:09.720 know.

00:57:09.880 But I

00:57:11.080 think everything

00:57:11.540 that's in

00:57:12.000 a can or

00:57:12.980 freezer, they've

00:57:15.020 got additives.

00:57:16.320 And I think

00:57:17.060 we're allergic to

00:57:17.780 the additives,

00:57:18.440 where many of

00:57:18.880 us are.

00:57:20.040 Have you

00:57:20.380 noticed that

00:57:20.780 everybody's

00:57:21.280 anxious, and

00:57:22.120 everybody's got

00:57:23.420 allergies, and

00:57:24.080 everybody's got

00:57:24.660 asthma?

00:57:25.580 There was an

00:57:26.860 epidemic of

00:57:27.580 adult-onset

00:57:28.560 asthma, which

00:57:29.380 was historically

00:57:30.620 unusual.

00:57:32.040 It's in the

00:57:32.560 food.

00:57:34.120 I mean, at

00:57:34.500 this point, we

00:57:35.260 just have to say

00:57:35.960 our food is

00:57:36.520 fucking killing

00:57:37.100 us.

00:57:39.480 Have you

00:57:40.460 gone to a

00:57:41.460 large event

00:57:42.420 for the first

00:57:43.940 time, let's

00:57:44.440 say, after two

00:57:45.140 years of the

00:57:45.660 pandemic?

00:57:46.640 Did you notice

00:57:47.320 anything about

00:57:47.920 the shape and

00:57:50.480 size of the

00:57:51.080 attendees?

00:57:52.960 Oh, man, did

00:57:53.920 people gain weight

00:57:54.680 in the last two

00:57:55.260 years.

00:57:56.080 Oh, man, did

00:57:58.160 people gain weight.

00:57:59.460 A lot of

00:58:00.140 weight.

00:58:00.380 And, you

00:58:04.000 know, so our

00:58:04.420 food is just

00:58:04.900 killing us.

00:58:06.020 It's absolutely

00:58:06.620 killing us.

00:58:07.800 And if you

00:58:08.580 just eat clean

00:58:09.220 for two weeks,

00:58:10.240 tell me how

00:58:11.220 much inflammation

00:58:11.880 you have.

00:58:14.200 There are days

00:58:15.020 when I have so

00:58:15.860 much inflammation

00:58:16.540 that it's hard to

00:58:18.160 walk up and

00:58:18.620 down stairs.

00:58:20.180 Like, actually,

00:58:20.900 it's sort of a

00:58:21.500 struggle.

00:58:22.760 There are other

00:58:23.340 days when it

00:58:25.320 doesn't seem to

00:58:25.860 be related to

00:58:26.700 exercise.

00:58:27.760 I can run up

00:58:28.720 and down the

00:58:29.120 stairs with no

00:58:29.760 inflammation like

00:58:31.060 I'm a teenager.

00:58:32.260 No difference

00:58:32.800 at all.

00:58:34.300 And it's

00:58:34.860 something I'm

00:58:35.320 eating.

00:58:36.400 There are days

00:58:37.080 when I'm eating

00:58:37.560 something that's

00:58:38.180 making me inflamed

00:58:39.020 for 48 hours,

00:58:40.360 and I don't know

00:58:40.800 what it is.

00:58:42.180 It's probably not

00:58:42.800 the sulfites.

00:58:43.500 It might be

00:58:43.740 something else.

00:58:44.740 But there is

00:58:45.540 something that is

00:58:47.600 fucking killing me,

00:58:48.900 and it's in the

00:58:49.740 food, and it's

00:58:50.780 killing you, too. 0.55

00:58:51.820 We just don't

00:58:52.440 know what it is.

00:58:53.500 It's probably more

00:58:54.220 than one thing.

00:58:56.900 I think I actually

00:58:57.980 ate too little

00:58:58.720 salt.

00:58:59.760 Not long ago,

00:59:00.660 because I was

00:59:01.180 eating so clean

00:59:02.100 that my salt,

00:59:03.680 I think,

00:59:03.980 got lower than

00:59:04.580 I needed for

00:59:05.280 the amount of

00:59:06.000 heat and

00:59:06.420 exercise I do.

00:59:12.020 Is it a pot

00:59:12.820 allergy?

00:59:13.420 No, pot actually

00:59:14.340 cleans up my

00:59:15.960 allergies.

00:59:17.420 Pot actually

00:59:17.960 decreases the

00:59:18.920 symptoms.

00:59:21.420 Quality sea

00:59:22.160 salt.

00:59:24.340 Microplastics in

00:59:24.900 the water?

00:59:25.380 It could be.

00:59:26.440 It could be.

00:59:27.580 Microplastics in

00:59:28.160 the water.

00:59:29.680 Yep.

00:59:30.520 Yeah, you

00:59:30.860 need a little

00:59:31.240 salt and fat.

00:59:31.900 That's true.

00:59:32.980 I can overdo it

00:59:33.780 sometimes.

00:59:35.120 Seed oils?

00:59:36.900 Not intentionally.

00:59:38.380 I don't

00:59:38.660 intentionally eat

00:59:39.460 any seed oils.

00:59:42.920 All right.

00:59:49.940 Did I miss a

00:59:50.720 comment you wanted

00:59:51.340 me to see?

00:59:51.720 Yeah, I've

00:59:52.620 tried honey.

00:59:53.360 I don't

00:59:53.600 believe in

00:59:53.980 that.

00:59:59.180 I think

00:59:59.960 soy is

01:00:00.500 probably a

01:00:00.900 problem in

01:00:01.320 our diet.

01:00:04.420 Try the

01:00:05.040 carnivore diet.

01:00:06.040 Well, I'm a

01:00:07.300 pescatarian, so I

01:00:09.760 won't be trying

01:00:10.340 your carnivore

01:00:10.980 diet.

01:00:14.960 Cucumbers are

01:00:15.580 good for

01:00:15.860 inflammation.

01:00:16.540 I know they

01:00:16.920 scare cats.

01:00:18.040 That's their

01:00:18.400 primary use.

01:00:19.420 All right.

01:00:20.740 That's all for

01:00:21.160 now.

01:00:22.140 I'll see you

01:00:22.660 later, YouTube

01:00:23.300 and Spotify.
