Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1822 Scott Adams： Most Of The News Today Is Fake And Kind Of Funny

00:00:00.220 Well, once again, let me inform you, I do not have monkeypox, but if you want to know

00:00:06.460 what a bad luck looks like, bad luck looks like injuring your lip during a monkeypox.

00:00:15.100 I know, it looks like I put my lip in the wrong place, doesn't it?

00:00:18.820 But no, no, just a burn.

00:00:21.980 All right, you seem like you're in Texas, somebody says.

00:00:25.760 Good morning, everybody. How would you like to enjoy today's show more than any show you've ever enjoyed?

00:00:35.920 I know, pretty good stuff coming.

00:00:38.960 And all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a canteen jug or a glass.

00:00:43.000 Hold on, canteen jug or flask.

00:00:49.420 I'm going to get this right. I'm trying to remember my own stuff.

00:00:52.520 And all you need, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a canteen jug or a flask.

00:01:00.340 You can't take your chalice or stein, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:04.840 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:07.340 I like coffee.

00:01:09.440 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:01:12.220 the dopamine to end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:16.120 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:01:19.840 Go.

00:01:22.520 I apologize for my dainty cup.

00:01:27.440 This is no way to drink coffee.

00:01:29.900 No, coffee does not go in a dainty cup unless you're visiting the Queen.

00:01:34.320 And even then, you should be drinking tea.

00:01:36.400 So there's no right time for a little teacup.

00:01:40.200 Well, I have a question about the Democrat strategy.

00:01:44.020 I feel as if the strategy is not to remove Biden from office for incompetence,

00:01:52.080 but rather to make him slowly disappear.

00:01:55.740 I feel like that's the strategy.

00:01:59.400 For example, first he got COVID, and then he had to quarantine.

00:02:05.060 So that was good.

00:02:06.260 But then he got out, and then they said, well, we're going to have to give him COVID again.

00:02:11.440 So he gets COVID back to back.

00:02:13.320 But what I'm expecting is somewhere around the end of this next quarantine period,

00:02:19.340 I think we're going to hear that he has something called serial COVID.

00:02:24.420 Serial COVID.

00:02:25.740 It just keeps coming back.

00:02:27.180 And he's probably got a comorbidity of TDS.

00:02:31.580 So if you add the comorbidity of TDS to the serial repeating COVID,

00:02:38.420 well, Joe Biden is just going to have to hide in his basement forever.

00:02:42.260 Now, I'm not sure about this next part, but does it seem to you he's getting thinner?

00:02:48.460 Has anybody noticed he seems to be getting thinner?

00:02:50.660 He was always quite fit.

00:02:52.680 He seems to be getting thinner.

00:02:53.540 I think they're feeding him less.

00:02:54.880 Yeah, I think they're slowly trying to make him disappear.

00:02:59.380 Like they'll feed him a little less, and he'll just get a little smaller.

00:03:02.560 And one day you'll see a video of him in his basement.

00:03:05.960 He'll be like 85 pounds.

00:03:08.380 And, you know, it's not until you get down to like 65 pounds that you can, you know,

00:03:12.140 say he's actually gone.

00:03:13.520 But I think the cat is on the roof.

00:03:15.940 They're slowly trying to disappear him.

00:03:18.740 You know, first his public persona, and then they'll shrink him with lack of food

00:03:22.940 until he's a little ball about this big, and they'll have, you know, just keep him alive

00:03:27.680 with tubes and stuff.

00:03:28.920 I feel like that's the strategy.

00:03:31.040 I don't know.

00:03:31.440 I'm just guessing.

00:03:33.820 Well, what do you think would happen in a hypothetical matchup for president between Biden and Trump

00:03:39.060 if it were to happen today?

00:03:41.060 What do you think a Rasmussen poll showed?

00:03:43.280 Let's see if you're smart.

00:03:45.620 Who do you think would win as of today?

00:03:50.260 Well, according to Rasmussen, if the election were held today, 40% of likely voters would

00:03:55.440 vote for Biden, and 46% would vote for Trump.

00:03:59.680 But another 10% would choose some other candidate if it were just those two and somebody else.

00:04:06.900 10% for another candidate.

00:04:08.580 So what do you think of Yang's new political party?

00:04:15.860 Who is he going to take votes away from?

00:04:21.120 Yeah, I think I heard somebody say he would take votes away from Republicans, but it was

00:04:27.100 the Republicans who were going to vote for a Democrat anyway.

00:04:30.580 I don't know.

00:04:31.260 Maybe.

00:04:34.160 Yang will yank votes. 0.97

00:04:35.500 Yeah, I don't...

00:04:39.520 It's hard to see how it's helpful, but maybe.

00:04:43.140 You know, if Yang can control 10% of the vote, he's a kingmaker, right?

00:04:49.400 So it's not a bad strategy.

00:04:51.540 If, you know, you've got all these sort of in-between confused people.

00:04:55.980 What if?

00:04:56.760 Let's just do a what if.

00:04:58.040 What if Yang's real play is to only try to control the sensible people?

00:05:06.120 Because there aren't that many of them.

00:05:07.700 I'd say about 10%, maybe.

00:05:09.920 If 10% of the country identify with a political party, but they're willing to listen to a better

00:05:16.820 argument, it's about 10%.

00:05:20.420 He could control the whole country like Joe Manchin.

00:05:24.740 So everybody who says this Yang thing is just, you know, a sideshow and no importance, it's

00:05:29.720 not a sideshow.

00:05:30.800 It's an insurrection.

00:05:34.040 Legally.

00:05:34.960 But it's an insurrection in concept.

00:05:37.120 In the sense that if he succeeds, he will be effectively the president, just by having

00:05:43.200 a third party that actually makes sense.

00:05:46.080 And here's something that I think Andrew Yang could do that so far nobody else was able to do.

00:05:53.820 Be reasonable.

00:05:56.180 Nobody tried that yet, right?

00:05:58.920 Nobody really tried being reasonable yet.

00:06:02.100 There have been third party attempts, but they always seem, you know, sort of,

00:06:06.120 ideologically driven.

00:06:09.020 So what would happen if you had a third party where the only thing they're trying to do is

00:06:13.680 figure out what makes sense?

00:06:16.120 You know, follow the science.

00:06:17.900 What if you had, how about this?

00:06:19.820 What if you had to follow the science party?

00:06:22.940 You know, I guess the Democrats think they are that, but evidence suggests maybe not so much.

00:06:29.320 I don't know.

00:06:30.680 So I think if you ignore this Yang situation, you do it at your peril. 0.95

00:06:34.900 Because if he gets just 10% of people on board, and it's the reasonable people who could switch

00:06:40.220 sides in a situation, that's real power.

00:06:45.120 That's real power.

00:06:46.260 Define science.

00:06:47.440 Yeah.

00:06:48.200 Good question.

00:06:51.000 Well, how would you like a story about how I'm so right?

00:06:55.880 That's your favorite story, isn't it?

00:06:57.220 No, your favorite story is when I'm wrong, and I admit it.

00:07:01.960 I know.

00:07:02.600 I know.

00:07:03.240 I know how you are.

00:07:04.800 You'd rather me be wrong.

00:07:06.440 But I'm sorry.

00:07:07.820 I'm as right as right can be.

00:07:09.260 Because it turns out that there's a new Harvard University study, and they tried to look into

00:07:14.640 the motivations of the Capitol rioters.

00:07:18.660 Now, they used an interesting term here, rioters.

00:07:23.120 So I don't know if that excludes people that they thought were just protesting.

00:07:27.880 So I have a little question about how they defined that.

00:07:31.720 But they found out that only 8% of the people who they called rioters believed they were there

00:07:37.520 for an insurrection.

00:07:38.460 And 92% of them believed they were there to save the democracy.

00:07:44.280 Save the republic.

00:07:45.260 Now, is there anybody you know who said, hey, I think that J-6 committee is making us think 1.00

00:07:54.100 past the sale?

00:07:55.820 The sale is what did the people who were at the event believe?

00:07:59.540 Because they started with they want an insurrection, and then let's look at all the facts.

00:08:04.140 No, you don't start with they want an insurrection.

00:08:07.380 You have to demonstrate that.

00:08:09.480 And when anybody did, well, I guess this is probably the first one.

00:08:13.300 I don't think there's been another.

00:08:15.260 Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:08:17.380 But I don't think there's been another study, and certainly not from Harvard University,

00:08:21.920 which at least the left would be inclined to believe, that says that basically 92% of

00:08:27.560 their people believed Trump, that there was some sketchiness to the election, and that

00:08:34.040 they were there to fix the sketchiness.

00:08:36.400 They were not there to overthrow the government.

00:08:39.000 They were there to fix it.

00:08:40.020 Now, what does the January 6th committee and all of the mainstream news do with the fact

00:08:46.220 that the very foundation, the most important part of their narrative, has collapsed, and

00:08:53.400 it was destroyed by their own side?

00:08:55.220 If you call anything coming out of Harvard left-leaning, and I think you could make that assumption.

00:09:02.020 Now, even the person involved in the study said he was quite surprised.

00:09:09.800 He was surprised.

00:09:11.100 And the results were that, quote, many believed they were defending democracy from, quote, imminent

00:09:19.480 existential danger, unquote, unquote.

00:09:22.700 How does the news handle this?

00:09:32.760 The only way the mainstream news can handle this new information is by completely disappearing

00:09:38.360 it.

00:09:39.520 It will be disappeared right in front of you.

00:09:43.080 Do you think there's any way that if Harvard University did a study, and it came out showing

00:09:48.640 that 92% of the attendees wanted a literal insurrection to install a dictator?

00:09:55.920 Suppose it had gone that way.

00:09:58.320 Do you think the news would cover it?

00:10:01.620 I think so.

00:10:03.660 Yeah.

00:10:04.460 I think they might.

00:10:05.780 I think they might cover it if the people said they were there for an insurrection.

00:10:09.400 But what if the people say that they were not there for an insurrection, they were there

00:10:13.560 to fix the republic, exactly what it looked like?

00:10:16.720 To me, I mean, that's exactly what it looked like to me.

00:10:20.700 Is there anybody who even doubted that, who's watching this?

00:10:24.240 Is there anybody here who didn't have the same impression that they were there for good

00:10:30.920 intentions, even if they had bad information?

00:10:33.860 We don't know if they had bad information, but if they did.

00:10:39.740 So this is fascinating.

00:10:42.160 The degree to which the fake news no longer needs to pretend is sort of stunning, isn't

00:10:48.220 it?

00:10:49.740 Are you surprised that the fake news doesn't need to pretend anymore?

00:10:53.800 They're really not trying to hide this.

00:10:57.280 This is not hidden at all.

00:10:59.000 Well, it's hidden in the sense that you'd have to go to Breitbart in this case.

00:11:03.380 So I found out about the Harvard study by looking at Joel Pollack's article in Breitbart.

00:11:12.360 And Jonathan Turley's been on this point as well.

00:11:15.760 Now, let me ask you this.

00:11:17.960 Who in the country of, let's say, a political public figure?

00:11:23.740 What political public figure has been telling you, and I haven't heard one other person

00:11:30.340 say it, of political, you know, let's say public figures.

00:11:35.120 What other public figure told you that they were thinking past the sale and that the most

00:11:40.020 important question is this?

00:11:42.180 What were they thinking when they did it?

00:11:44.160 It was only me.

00:11:46.700 Right?

00:11:47.760 I'm not wrong, am I?

00:11:48.840 But I believe it was only me. 0.98

00:11:52.440 In the whole fucking world, I think it was only me. 0.99

00:11:55.680 That's why you watch me. 0.99

00:11:58.960 All right.

00:11:59.920 And then I've got a second question about the 8% who did think they were there for an insurrection.

00:12:05.860 Do you think that if you really drilled down with the 8% that you would find out that they 1.00

00:12:09.880 really wanted an insurrection?

00:12:12.920 Maybe.

00:12:13.900 Yeah, I know some of you are saying the 8% are feds.

00:12:16.100 That's funny.

00:12:17.360 There might be some feds in that. 1.00

00:12:18.840 Who knows?

00:12:19.420 I doubt that's who got interviewed.

00:12:21.940 But, for the poll.

00:12:25.260 But what do you think they wanted?

00:12:26.720 Do you think that if you had asked them, they would have said, well, our end goal is to

00:12:31.160 destroy the country?

00:12:33.720 Some might.

00:12:34.660 You know, they might be anarchists.

00:12:36.320 Do you think they would have said their end goal is to install Trump as an actual dictator?

00:12:42.560 I doubt it.

00:12:43.460 I doubt it, because he wouldn't want the job.

00:12:46.740 I mean, I've seen no indication that he would want to be the dictator.

00:12:51.660 I mean, in the sense that it's impractical.

00:12:55.520 If it were practical, maybe that's another conversation.

00:12:58.420 But given that it's so obviously impractical, who did they think was going to be the dictator?

00:13:03.840 Or were they going to overthrow it for some other form of democracy?

00:13:08.480 See, if you drill down on the insurrectionists, I think you would find out that they're either

00:13:12.320 literally crazy, or what they wanted was a little bit closer to fixing the republic after all.

00:13:17.780 It's just they had a different view of what that looks like.

00:13:21.120 I feel like the insurrectionists were probably closer to the regular people than we think.

00:13:26.740 They just like to use more hyperbole, and maybe they're in militias, and they just talk that way.

00:13:31.800 And the other thing that I've been saying forever, that the Democrats don't seem to recognize,

00:13:39.140 is that there's a way that Republicans talk about overthrowing their government

00:13:44.320 that is, first of all, very healthy, because Republicans are always on the verge of,

00:13:51.640 don't push us, don't push us.

00:13:54.060 That's a healthy tension.

00:13:57.240 But it's never that serious, in my opinion.

00:14:00.000 They're not really that serious about overthrowing the government.

00:14:02.880 They're just making it clear that there's a line.

00:14:06.460 Don't cross that line.

00:14:09.540 All right, here's my next fake news story from Newsweek.

00:14:14.960 I'm not sure if this is, yeah, I'll call it fake news.

00:14:17.560 It's in the category of fake news.

00:14:19.140 So here's the title of the story.

00:14:20.600 Tell me what you think the story would be about if you saw this headline in Newsweek.

00:14:26.300 Fentanyl surge started and peaked under Trump, despite the GOP blaming Biden.

00:14:33.000 Wow, the fentanyl surge started and peaked.

00:14:38.180 It was the highest under Trump.

00:14:39.840 Wow.

00:14:41.040 So what do you think that story says?

00:14:43.360 Do you think the story says, if you're coming in late, it's a burn?

00:14:48.420 I burned myself on twice-heated soup and a piece of spinach that wouldn't leave my lip.

00:14:54.900 It was quite painful.

00:14:56.180 But no, it's not monkeypox or anything else.

00:15:01.420 Sorry for that diversion.

00:15:03.380 So the Newsweek story about fentanyl surge under Trump,

00:15:06.940 when you dig down into the story,

00:15:08.820 it says that Trump seized more fentanyl coming across the border than Biden did.

00:15:14.280 Just let that sink in.

00:15:19.660 Just let it...

00:15:20.760 Let that sink in.

00:15:23.060 This is Newsweek.

00:15:25.560 It's Newsweek.

00:15:26.980 They are a discredited organization, I give you that.

00:15:30.240 But not everybody knows it.

00:15:32.160 If you're 75 and you grew up reading Newsweek,

00:15:35.420 and you see a Newsweek headline,

00:15:37.400 do you think that Newsweek is a discredited news organization?

00:15:40.240 Maybe you don't know that.

00:15:43.780 I mean, those of us who are a little more sophisticated in our knowledge,

00:15:47.840 we know that.

00:15:48.960 But not everybody knows that.

00:15:51.140 So I think that when they see a fentanyl surge,

00:15:53.660 they're going to think it's a surge in overdose deaths, don't you?

00:15:57.520 But in fact, the overdose death rate is the highest under Biden.

00:16:01.940 So not only did Trump do a stronger job of seizing fentanyl at the border,

00:16:09.140 according to Newsweek,

00:16:10.860 but there were also more overdose deaths under Biden.

00:16:15.060 Both of the facts in the story are pro-Trump.

00:16:17.940 And they made them look like they were negative.

00:16:22.000 And this is right in front of you,

00:16:24.440 because the title simply just doesn't match the content.

00:16:28.100 And they'll do this over and over again.

00:16:30.160 Title doesn't match the content.

00:16:31.620 Title doesn't match the content.

00:16:34.420 All right, here's another fake news out of CNN.

00:16:37.820 So I love learning who the opinion hit piece people are.

00:16:44.140 So there's this guy, Dean Obadila,

00:16:47.100 I might be pronouncing it wrong, not intentionally,

00:16:50.340 who does opinion pieces for CNN.

00:16:52.480 And he's often a Trump attack dog.

00:16:56.860 You know, he'll just attack Trump for anything, and Republicans.

00:16:59.480 And CNN and all of the fake news had a little trouble yesterday,

00:17:05.180 because their fake news was that the GOP doesn't like veterans

00:17:10.020 and vetoed or didn't vote for a bill to protect them and their health

00:17:16.080 from the so-called burn pits danger.

00:17:18.640 And of course, because Jon Stewart was saying that the GOP voted against something

00:17:25.640 that they had recently voted for,

00:17:27.900 it looked like it was all political, 1.00

00:17:30.000 and they were painting the GOP as a bunch of political bastards 0.99

00:17:33.160 who didn't really care about veterans. 0.98

00:17:34.840 What do you think the real story was?

00:17:38.920 The real story, of course, was that the Democrats put a whole bunch of pork,

00:17:43.380 like 400 billion or some gigantic number, I don't know what it was,

00:17:47.140 some big number, of pork in the bill,

00:17:50.340 and the Republicans said,

00:17:51.540 I don't care how good the bill is, you can't do that.

00:17:53.980 Yeah, it was a poison pill.

00:17:54.940 So do you think that Dean Obadiah,

00:17:58.980 who is their, I would say he's among their lowest level attack dogs,

00:18:03.640 and by lowest level, I mean,

00:18:05.180 I feel like he gets the assignment that you can't win unless you just lie.

00:18:11.080 Like you can't make your case

00:18:12.660 unless you're willing to stretch or lie or omit,

00:18:16.420 you know, leave out context.

00:18:17.660 It's the only way you can get it done.

00:18:19.720 So apparently there are some people

00:18:21.360 who do opinion pieces for CNN

00:18:23.620 who are consistently willing to, let's say,

00:18:28.200 test the outer boundaries of fake news.

00:18:34.880 But Dean completely leaves out the context

00:18:37.960 that's the only context that matters,

00:18:40.480 which is the Republicans didn't like all the pork in the bill.

00:18:44.060 Do me a fact check.

00:18:45.520 I'm right about that, right?

00:18:47.300 Am I correct?

00:18:48.320 The only thing the Republicans didn't like

00:18:50.560 was the extra stuff that got added on,

00:18:53.620 as a nerdy trick, basically.

00:18:56.860 So if you don't mention that,

00:18:59.880 you have so little respect for your readers.

00:19:02.940 So little respect.

00:19:05.000 It was, and in fact,

00:19:08.000 Dean Obadiah characterized the GOP's action as,

00:19:12.660 quote,

00:19:12.980 the GOP is trying to score political points

00:19:16.360 by delaying this vital piece of legislation.

00:19:19.720 Is that what they're doing?

00:19:21.260 They're trying to score political points

00:19:23.760 by making themselves look bad

00:19:26.380 by stopping pork.

00:19:29.440 It looks like it's exactly the opposite of that.

00:19:32.560 What this looks like is that

00:19:34.360 politicians put their own benefit

00:19:37.380 lower than the country's.

00:19:41.300 Now, it's hard to imagine anybody would do that,

00:19:45.160 so I'm not sure that we could read their minds

00:19:47.340 and conclude that they were just operating out of principle,

00:19:51.000 but it looks like it.

00:19:53.280 It looks like it.

00:19:54.380 Again, I can't read their minds,

00:19:56.480 but if you're a Republican,

00:19:57.920 would you want to turn down something

00:20:00.060 that was a veteran health bill?

00:20:02.900 A Republican.

00:20:04.440 What Republican thinks it's good

00:20:06.080 to vote against a veteran health bill,

00:20:10.400 even if there's a reason that's technical

00:20:13.540 that has to do with the pork?

00:20:15.280 That never looks good.

00:20:16.780 That never looks good.

00:20:17.460 But a lot of Republicans did it, apparently,

00:20:20.580 or are going to do it or whatever.

00:20:24.020 Did it.

00:20:26.180 So are we mad at Republicans

00:20:30.120 for standing on principle

00:20:31.660 against their own self-interest?

00:20:34.340 Because that kind of looks like what happened.

00:20:37.400 I feel that they were not exactly

00:20:39.460 pursuing their own self-interest.

00:20:42.180 Because here's what would have looked good

00:20:44.480 for the politician.

00:20:45.800 I voted for that bill.

00:20:47.880 Because I like veterans.

00:20:49.860 By the time you got, you know,

00:20:51.540 campaigning for re-election,

00:20:53.220 you could just say that

00:20:54.440 and people would believe it.

00:20:55.780 I'm one of the few Republicans

00:20:57.080 who voted for helping veterans.

00:21:00.920 Nobody's going to look into that pork

00:21:02.520 part of the problem.

00:21:04.780 Yeah, go read the bill, somebody says.

00:21:09.060 So I floated the idea

00:21:10.600 that every bill should have

00:21:11.980 a list of ingredients.

00:21:16.340 So you can see what's in the bill,

00:21:17.800 good and bad.

00:21:19.260 Like the bad might be,

00:21:20.580 might raise taxes on some people. 0.83

00:21:23.360 The good might,

00:21:24.120 you'd need the, I don't know,

00:21:25.320 somebody to score that,

00:21:26.500 the OMB or something.

00:21:27.660 But the good would be,

00:21:28.740 here are the things we want to accomplish.

00:21:30.920 And then here's the price.

00:21:32.960 The price is,

00:21:34.000 this might cost more,

00:21:35.480 this might cause inflation,

00:21:37.000 this might raise the debt.

00:21:38.000 Just list the ingredients,

00:21:41.180 the good stuff and the bad stuff.

00:21:43.160 And then somebody else mentioned

00:21:44.960 that there should be a requirement

00:21:46.740 for a one-page executive summary.

00:21:49.920 I like it.

00:21:51.440 A requirement for a one-page executive summary.

00:21:54.520 Now you might need,

00:21:55.940 you know,

00:21:56.780 a paragraph or two

00:21:58.160 for each part of the bill

00:21:59.860 and there might be lots of them.

00:22:01.220 So, you know,

00:22:02.020 maybe really it's more like

00:22:03.360 a paragraph for each component

00:22:05.240 or something like that.

00:22:06.580 But it needs to be readable

00:22:08.140 by the public.

00:22:09.840 And I would say that

00:22:10.760 if the public,

00:22:12.040 if the average voter

00:22:13.280 can't understand the bill,

00:22:15.300 then it should not be voted on.

00:22:17.980 In fact,

00:22:18.700 I'd love to see each bill

00:22:20.740 be scored for,

00:22:22.100 let's say,

00:22:23.320 clarity.

00:22:25.040 Scored for clarity.

00:22:26.440 Give some independent group

00:22:27.520 to say,

00:22:28.520 all right,

00:22:28.960 we talked about this bill

00:22:31.460 with, let's say,

00:22:32.420 a group of volunteers

00:22:34.100 and they couldn't understand it.

00:22:37.160 So we score this,

00:22:38.300 you cannot vote on this.

00:22:40.020 I think the Congress

00:22:41.140 should be prevented

00:22:42.280 from voting on anything

00:22:44.160 the public doesn't understand.

00:22:46.540 You know,

00:22:46.980 by a majority anyway.

00:22:48.720 What do you think?

00:22:49.940 The Congress wouldn't be allowed

00:22:52.100 to vote for anything

00:22:53.180 the public doesn't understand.

00:22:58.040 Yeah,

00:22:58.580 if you're joining late,

00:23:00.300 I'll just tell everybody,

00:23:01.520 this is a burn

00:23:02.540 on my lip.

00:23:04.100 If you think it's more,

00:23:05.760 something more exciting,

00:23:07.020 I kind of wish it were.

00:23:09.220 But it's just a burn.

00:23:13.020 A score for readability

00:23:14.500 would be something

00:23:15.900 that AI could do.

00:23:17.140 There you go.

00:23:18.520 Artificial intelligence

00:23:19.600 could write a summary

00:23:20.500 of every bill.

00:23:22.520 How about that?

00:23:23.900 How about that?

00:23:25.360 Those are pretty good ideas.

00:23:26.360 All right.

00:23:30.140 Here's a provocative idea

00:23:32.560 that I don't think

00:23:33.600 that I'm quite in favor of,

00:23:36.160 but I want to share it with you.

00:23:38.160 And it comes from a doctor.

00:23:40.420 All right.

00:23:40.740 So this is not from me.

00:23:41.820 This is from a doctor.

00:23:44.360 On Twitter,

00:23:45.600 he goes by Doc Anarchy.

00:23:47.580 He's got a sub stack

00:23:48.680 you might be interested in as well.

00:23:50.360 It has lots of interesting

00:23:51.820 and provocative ideas

00:23:54.020 that are not quite

00:23:55.700 the normal point of view

00:23:58.000 that you see.

00:23:58.600 So it's worth seeing it

00:23:59.660 even if you disagree with him.

00:24:01.560 I love seeing an actual medical doctor

00:24:03.800 who's thinking through things critically.

00:24:05.840 So that alone,

00:24:08.040 that alone is worth doing.

00:24:10.860 All right.

00:24:11.280 So if you want somebody to follow

00:24:12.700 that you're not following,

00:24:13.660 follow

00:24:13.960 at

00:24:15.600 Dr. Anarchist

00:24:17.160 for interesting points of view.

00:24:20.400 Not ones you're all going to agree with.

00:24:22.620 All right.

00:24:22.780 So it's not about agreeing.

00:24:24.360 They're just interesting points of view.

00:24:29.040 All right.

00:24:30.300 Here it is.

00:24:31.120 His interesting points of view.

00:24:32.800 Nobody overdoses on prescription opioids.

00:24:35.160 I don't know if that's true completely.

00:24:37.880 This sounds like a little bit of an overclaim.

00:24:40.340 But he's a doctor.

00:24:43.100 So let's say it might be hyperbole,

00:24:45.540 but don't get too caught up

00:24:46.960 on whether that's 100% true.

00:24:49.340 Let's say it's 95% true.

00:24:52.420 It's probably closer to 95% true.

00:24:55.340 But we'll allow a little hyperbole.

00:24:57.740 Okay.

00:24:58.380 And then he goes on,

00:24:59.500 eliminate the black market for opioids

00:25:01.440 and you'll eliminate 99% of overdoses.

00:25:03.820 Now, remember,

00:25:05.500 he's a doctor.

00:25:07.280 He's a doctor.

00:25:08.680 So at least anecdotally,

00:25:10.660 and probably he's looked at studies too,

00:25:13.580 that it's hard to overdose

00:25:15.360 on a prescription med

00:25:16.940 because you would know

00:25:18.900 what the overdose amount would be.

00:25:23.220 Now, don't...

00:25:24.320 Before you question him,

00:25:26.640 you should do your research

00:25:27.800 because the addicts themselves

00:25:30.660 will tell you

00:25:31.280 that the real danger

00:25:32.140 is the fake stuff.

00:25:34.080 Now, again,

00:25:35.020 I'm operating purely anecdotally

00:25:36.940 right here, right?

00:25:38.260 But my own stepson

00:25:40.040 told me in direct language

00:25:42.960 that he wouldn't take counterfeit pills

00:25:44.760 because they probably have fentanyl in them

00:25:47.220 and you can't know what you're getting.

00:25:49.040 And then he died of an overdose.

00:25:51.680 So he probably did exactly

00:25:53.100 what he said he wouldn't do

00:25:54.000 the week before,

00:25:54.780 which is why I question

00:25:55.700 whether this would work.

00:25:56.620 But anyway, let's get to that.

00:26:00.140 So if you eliminated

00:26:01.100 the black market for opioids,

00:26:02.620 you wouldn't get the fake stuff.

00:26:05.040 If you could give legal,

00:26:07.720 well-known entities to the addicts,

00:26:11.320 would they take these legal,

00:26:13.240 well-known things

00:26:13.940 and not have overdose deaths?

00:26:17.980 Now, some of you are going to say,

00:26:21.380 yeah, we're talking about

00:26:23.980 unintentional overdoses.

00:26:25.460 We're not talking about suicide.

00:26:26.620 So, can you compare this

00:26:33.040 to the San Francisco outdoor drug thing

00:26:35.880 that looked like a huge failure?

00:26:37.600 And Michael Schellenberger

00:26:38.620 talks about that a lot.

00:26:41.080 Do you think what he's talking about

00:26:42.940 is similar to this outdoor

00:26:44.760 free drug clinics?

00:26:47.600 No.

00:26:48.620 No, he didn't say that.

00:26:50.160 You're conflating two stories.

00:26:52.320 That's the problem here.

00:26:53.380 You're conflating the homeless problem,

00:26:55.500 which he's not even talking about.

00:26:57.080 That's not his topic.

00:26:59.200 Giving free drugs to homeless people

00:27:01.220 doesn't make them be less homeless.

00:27:02.920 So, if you're trying to clean up San Francisco,

00:27:07.160 which is all the homeless people

00:27:08.940 walking around and taking over the city,

00:27:12.160 giving them free drugs

00:27:13.380 is not going to make them

00:27:14.420 leave the streets or go away or anything.

00:27:16.920 So, it doesn't do anything about homeless.

00:27:19.760 But what I don't know

00:27:20.900 is if it reduced the number of

00:27:23.220 overdoses.

00:27:26.540 I haven't heard one way or the other,

00:27:28.100 so I don't know.

00:27:29.120 But what Doc Anarchy is talking about

00:27:32.020 is really just a narrow point

00:27:34.740 that if the only kind of opioid

00:27:37.140 that was available,

00:27:38.120 and let's say there was some way

00:27:39.080 to make that happen,

00:27:40.100 if the only kind available

00:27:41.300 was high-quality control,

00:27:45.300 that that alone would

00:27:46.520 eliminate 99% of overdose deaths.

00:27:50.240 What do you think?

00:27:50.720 Now, let me be

00:27:56.000 coldly analytical here.

00:27:59.740 What would happen

00:28:00.400 if you stopped 100,000 addicts

00:28:03.400 per year from dying?

00:28:06.920 Now, this is going to come back to me.

00:28:09.640 So, do not think I'm exempting myself

00:28:13.760 from the following point.

00:28:15.120 I'm not.

00:28:15.940 I'm in this point.

00:28:17.600 If you let 100,000 addicts live

00:28:20.220 every year,

00:28:21.220 are you better off?

00:28:23.400 Now, I obviously would like

00:28:25.040 my stepson to still be alive.

00:28:27.300 But are you better off?

00:28:29.440 I hate to say it,

00:28:30.340 but you're not better off.

00:28:31.860 I might have been better off

00:28:33.160 because I love him, right?

00:28:34.660 So I loved him.

00:28:35.800 So I might be better off

00:28:37.160 because I would prefer it.

00:28:38.540 But would you be better off

00:28:40.320 with my stepson back in society?

00:28:42.940 Not even close.

00:28:44.400 Sorry.

00:28:45.640 Sorry.

00:28:46.680 If you want to be honest,

00:28:47.960 you would not be better off

00:28:49.280 with him in society.

00:28:50.780 He was not adding.

00:28:52.080 He was just purely subtracting.

00:28:54.300 Sorry.

00:28:55.060 People loved him.

00:28:56.000 I mean, he was very popular

00:28:57.480 and lovable and stuff.

00:28:58.860 But he wasn't going to help.

00:29:01.500 So you have to ask yourself

00:29:03.100 if even if you could get

00:29:04.540 what you wanted,

00:29:05.980 do you really want it?

00:29:08.000 Because that's a fair question.

00:29:11.340 It's a fair question.

00:29:12.760 Now, I do think that

00:29:13.760 some kind of ethical,

00:29:15.740 moral consideration

00:29:16.620 suggests that keeping them alive

00:29:19.020 would be the better alternative.

00:29:20.980 And that would be

00:29:21.480 a reasonable point of view.

00:29:23.300 But you can't ignore the fact

00:29:25.360 that keeping alive

00:29:26.580 100,000 liars

00:29:29.360 has some impact.

00:29:31.580 Because remember, 0.99

00:29:32.300 all addicts are liars. 0.98

00:29:33.640 You know that, right? 0.98

00:29:34.360 If you see somebody

00:29:36.760 who's lying about everything,

00:29:38.420 the first question

00:29:39.560 you should ask yourself is,

00:29:41.140 what drugs are they on?

00:29:43.000 Because often people

00:29:43.920 who are lying about everything

00:29:45.300 are covering a drug pattern.

00:29:49.900 So always look for that.

00:29:51.400 Sometimes lying about everything

00:29:52.640 means you're a narcissist. 0.71

00:29:55.800 And sometimes it means 0.98

00:29:57.060 you have a drug problem.

00:29:58.020 And sometimes it means

00:29:59.260 you're both.

00:30:01.560 I made the point

00:30:02.880 that insurance predicts all.

00:30:05.820 This is a point

00:30:06.520 I've made a number of times.

00:30:08.260 That every time

00:30:08.780 we're arguing

00:30:09.320 in the political realm

00:30:10.900 about what is

00:30:11.920 or what isn't,

00:30:12.600 what's true,

00:30:13.180 what isn't,

00:30:14.060 that you can ignore

00:30:15.120 all of that

00:30:15.840 because that's all political.

00:30:17.700 And just look

00:30:18.340 what the insurance companies do.

00:30:20.480 Because the insurance companies

00:30:21.800 don't have the option

00:30:22.720 of being political.

00:30:24.220 They just have to look

00:30:25.140 at the numbers

00:30:25.620 and say,

00:30:26.020 well,

00:30:26.640 we've got to set our premiums

00:30:28.180 based on this level of death.

00:30:29.800 And we have to adjust it

00:30:33.580 based on what changes, right?

00:30:35.900 So the insurance company

00:30:37.920 is just coldly looking at data.

00:30:40.200 And the other thing

00:30:40.860 that the insurance companies have

00:30:42.400 that you don't have

00:30:44.140 is their internal data.

00:30:46.740 So an insurance company

00:30:48.300 in 2022

00:30:49.040 can tell you the following.

00:30:51.180 It can tell you

00:30:52.060 which zip codes

00:30:53.060 had the most vaccinations,

00:30:55.140 the highest vaccination rates.

00:30:56.500 And it can tell you

00:30:58.160 where there was

00:30:59.340 the biggest change

00:31:00.360 in death rates.

00:31:02.380 Now,

00:31:02.820 what the insurance industry

00:31:04.000 is telling you

00:31:04.740 is that where there were

00:31:06.220 high levels of vaccinations,

00:31:08.140 the death rate

00:31:09.240 did not go up

00:31:10.100 nearly as much

00:31:10.860 as where there was

00:31:11.620 a low level of vaccination.

00:31:13.920 Maybe there's

00:31:14.540 some other factors involved.

00:31:16.540 But their data

00:31:17.860 is very clear

00:31:18.760 that vaccinations

00:31:19.880 saved lives.

00:31:21.520 And so they're going to

00:31:22.120 base their premiums

00:31:25.280 on that.

00:31:26.380 So if you're in a zip code

00:31:27.580 where people are dying

00:31:28.640 because they're unvaccinated,

00:31:30.020 maybe you pay more

00:31:30.860 for insurance.

00:31:32.620 Now,

00:31:33.220 where do you find the data?

00:31:35.360 They have their own data.

00:31:36.860 That's the key.

00:31:37.940 If you say to yourself,

00:31:39.220 why do the insurance companies

00:31:40.980 believe that?

00:31:42.160 Show me the data.

00:31:44.020 They're not going to do that

00:31:45.060 because it's internal data.

00:31:46.600 It's their own customers

00:31:47.580 who are dying, right?

00:31:49.060 They're literally looking

00:31:50.080 at their own customer base

00:31:51.440 and they're saying

00:31:52.320 the ones in this zip code

00:31:53.700 are suddenly dying.

00:31:55.280 The ones in this zip code

00:31:56.560 are also suddenly dying

00:31:57.720 but at a smaller rate.

00:32:01.200 Now,

00:32:01.960 a number of people

00:32:03.800 said to me,

00:32:04.540 Scott, Scott, Scott.

00:32:06.240 What you don't realize

00:32:07.420 is that insurance companies

00:32:08.660 are lying

00:32:09.440 just like all companies.

00:32:11.180 And what they're doing

00:32:12.000 is they're trying

00:32:12.760 to be woke

00:32:13.560 by telling you

00:32:15.100 that vaccinations work.

00:32:16.580 It's really just wokeness.

00:32:18.360 So they're not using data

00:32:19.980 to make decisions.

00:32:20.980 They're not trying

00:32:21.560 to make money.

00:32:22.220 They're trying

00:32:23.340 to be woke

00:32:23.980 because that's more important

00:32:25.120 than profits.

00:32:26.880 Do you know

00:32:27.540 who says that sort of thing?

00:32:28.840 Do you know

00:32:29.380 who says that

00:32:30.160 an insurance company

00:32:31.300 favors wokeness

00:32:33.040 over profits?

00:32:34.600 What kind of person

00:32:35.320 says that?

00:32:37.800 Characterize somebody

00:32:38.660 who would say

00:32:39.320 that they might

00:32:40.800 prefer wokeness

00:32:42.220 over profits. 1.00

00:32:43.220 You're saying idiots 1.00

00:32:46.320 but that's unkind. 1.00

00:32:48.160 I'm going to give

00:32:49.120 the kindest interpretation.

00:32:50.700 It's people

00:32:51.040 with no experience

00:32:51.980 in business whatsoever.

00:32:54.660 You don't have to say 1.00

00:32:55.760 NPC or stupid. 1.00

00:32:57.580 Just say this. 1.00

00:32:58.360 People with no experience 1.00

00:32:59.720 in business whatsoever.

00:33:01.340 I don't believe

00:33:01.980 there are any

00:33:02.400 experienced business people

00:33:03.820 who would say

00:33:05.340 that an insurance company

00:33:06.560 is going to put itself

00:33:07.680 on a business

00:33:08.320 to serve wokeness.

00:33:11.880 I don't think so.

00:33:13.220 Now people said to me

00:33:14.560 but Scott

00:33:15.220 but Scott

00:33:16.120 Disney did exactly that.

00:33:18.680 They made a bad decision

00:33:19.740 for wokeness

00:33:20.600 and it hurt their profitability.

00:33:22.760 So what about that?

00:33:24.060 To which I say

00:33:24.960 that's not what I'm talking about.

00:33:26.520 That's a completely

00:33:27.120 different situation.

00:33:28.920 Yes, companies will

00:33:30.380 make public PR statements

00:33:32.380 that are for wokeness.

00:33:36.900 But that doesn't mean

00:33:38.140 they're intentionally

00:33:38.800 destroying the engine

00:33:40.300 of their economic survival.

00:33:43.220 If an insurance company

00:33:44.480 starts pricing things

00:33:45.760 incorrectly

00:33:46.320 they go into business.

00:33:48.960 They have to price correctly

00:33:50.620 based on their data

00:33:51.540 or they can't stay in business.

00:33:53.540 That is completely different.

00:33:55.360 Staying in business

00:33:56.460 versus saying some things

00:33:58.440 in public

00:33:58.860 you think will sound good

00:34:00.100 but you hope

00:34:00.600 it won't hurt you too much.

00:34:02.500 Disney made a gigantic mistake

00:34:04.340 but they didn't do it

00:34:06.580 intentionally.

00:34:07.320 they did not intentionally

00:34:09.860 destroy their business

00:34:11.160 or degrade it

00:34:12.440 by doing something

00:34:14.260 like that.

00:34:15.060 I don't think

00:34:15.860 they quite saw

00:34:16.460 the DeSantis pushback coming.

00:34:19.220 So to imagine

00:34:20.760 that it's similar

00:34:21.620 that somebody

00:34:22.240 accidentally hurts

00:34:23.640 their business

00:34:24.160 by saying things

00:34:24.880 they think wouldn't hurt

00:34:26.120 but it did

00:34:26.720 that's completely different

00:34:28.460 from an insurance company

00:34:29.560 saying look

00:34:30.060 we'd better make ourselves

00:34:31.900 super unprofitable

00:34:33.380 or else we won't

00:34:35.660 look woke enough.

00:34:37.240 That's not happening.

00:34:39.180 That's not happening

00:34:40.100 anywhere

00:34:40.640 ever.

00:34:42.120 Ever.

00:34:43.200 No insurance company

00:34:44.320 behind the scenes

00:34:46.040 is going to tell you

00:34:47.260 well behind the scenes

00:34:48.620 they're going to make money.

00:34:50.500 They wouldn't be

00:34:51.300 talking out loud

00:34:52.060 to help themselves

00:34:52.900 in this case.

00:34:55.100 Do you think

00:34:55.700 yeah I feel

00:34:57.720 it would just hurt them

00:34:58.580 if you knew

00:34:59.720 what they were doing.

00:35:00.280 They're just trying

00:35:00.720 to make money.

00:35:01.980 Period.

00:35:02.960 Alright.

00:35:03.380 There is something called

00:35:06.200 and I don't know

00:35:06.900 too much about it

00:35:07.760 some kind of

00:35:08.720 the QPARQ

00:35:10.980 Q-P-A-R-Q 1.00

00:35:12.980 framework

00:35:14.300 for

00:35:15.060 having rational discussions

00:35:17.440 without all the

00:35:18.460 crazy stuff that happens.

00:35:20.640 I saw Brett Weinstein

00:35:21.980 talking about it

00:35:23.120 and I think he invited

00:35:24.160 Sam Harris

00:35:24.780 to be part of it

00:35:25.520 and the idea is

00:35:26.560 there's this

00:35:27.040 useful framework

00:35:28.800 for debating

00:35:30.700 and if you use

00:35:31.660 the framework

00:35:32.160 and I think there's

00:35:32.960 some software

00:35:33.800 that helps you

00:35:34.320 work through it

00:35:34.800 or something

00:35:35.140 I don't know

00:35:35.780 all the details

00:35:36.300 but the idea is

00:35:37.620 that you could use

00:35:38.400 some third party

00:35:39.800 format

00:35:41.200 to keep two people

00:35:43.720 on a sane

00:35:44.580 and reasonable

00:35:45.240 debate.

00:35:47.380 What do you think

00:35:48.140 of that?

00:35:48.620 Suppose the technology

00:35:49.600 works

00:35:50.060 so let's take

00:35:51.420 an assumption

00:35:51.880 I don't know

00:35:52.480 that that's true

00:35:52.960 but let's say

00:35:53.440 the technology works

00:35:54.640 will this change

00:35:56.140 everything?

00:35:56.480 because now

00:35:58.720 you'd have a way

00:35:59.280 for people

00:36:00.020 to debate

00:36:00.680 getting rid 0.96

00:36:01.540 of all the crazy

00:36:02.140 parts

00:36:02.500 so you could

00:36:02.920 actually see

00:36:03.360 the debate

00:36:03.760 no it won't

00:36:05.960 do you know

00:36:06.420 what's wrong

00:36:06.820 with this problem?

00:36:09.280 It solves

00:36:10.180 the non-existing

00:36:10.860 problem

00:36:11.460 because the reason

00:36:13.640 that people

00:36:14.080 say crazy things

00:36:17.300 during debates

00:36:17.920 is that they don't

00:36:18.580 want to say

00:36:19.060 the real thing

00:36:19.600 the real thing

00:36:20.900 doesn't help them

00:36:21.620 the reason

00:36:22.940 people lie

00:36:23.540 is that the truth

00:36:24.220 doesn't give them

00:36:24.880 power or entertainment

00:36:26.040 people want to

00:36:28.660 watch the news

00:36:29.360 or interpret the news

00:36:31.200 or get their

00:36:31.800 preferred interpretation

00:36:32.840 to the news

00:36:33.440 they want to win

00:36:34.380 debates because

00:36:35.080 they want power

00:36:35.800 and we watch them

00:36:37.800 because we want

00:36:38.400 entertainment

00:36:38.940 as soon as you

00:36:40.760 imagine that people's

00:36:41.860 main motivation

00:36:42.700 is to get something

00:36:43.580 right

00:36:43.980 you're completely

00:36:45.860 lost

00:36:46.380 nobody's main

00:36:48.640 motivation is to

00:36:49.480 get the right answer

00:36:50.340 the main motivation

00:36:52.560 is to be right

00:36:53.480 and to get power

00:36:54.260 now people think

00:36:55.580 that if they had

00:36:56.160 power they would

00:36:56.800 do the right things

00:36:57.680 in some way

00:36:58.220 that's the right

00:36:58.720 thing too

00:36:59.080 but nobody cares

00:37:00.600 about the logic

00:37:01.680 of a debate

00:37:02.380 so you're solving

00:37:04.180 a problem

00:37:04.680 that isn't a problem

00:37:05.900 because debates

00:37:07.300 are intentionally 0.99

00:37:08.260 bullshit 0.96

00:37:08.760 if anybody 1.00

00:37:10.660 wanted to

00:37:11.260 debate

00:37:12.880 in a reasonable

00:37:13.780 way

00:37:14.160 they already

00:37:14.860 know how to

00:37:15.340 do it

00:37:15.760 do you think

00:37:18.180 that Brett

00:37:18.780 Weinstein

00:37:19.400 and Sam

00:37:20.060 Harrison

00:37:20.360 don't have

00:37:21.320 the intellectual

00:37:22.000 tools

00:37:22.760 to have

00:37:24.140 a rational

00:37:24.920 discussion

00:37:26.620 of course

00:37:27.740 they do

00:37:28.200 of course

00:37:28.980 they do

00:37:29.380 but would

00:37:30.620 they do it

00:37:31.820 I don't know

00:37:34.540 those might be

00:37:36.260 two of the most

00:37:36.940 famously rational

00:37:38.120 people

00:37:38.600 in the public

00:37:40.380 discussions

00:37:40.940 and I don't

00:37:42.480 even think

00:37:42.820 they could do it

00:37:43.480 and I have

00:37:44.740 very high opinion

00:37:45.460 of both of them

00:37:46.080 in terms of

00:37:46.660 their intellectual

00:37:47.580 academic credentials

00:37:49.340 I just don't

00:37:50.640 know it's

00:37:50.960 something people

00:37:51.600 can do

00:37:52.120 because

00:37:53.840 I had a

00:37:55.280 conversation

00:37:55.740 with Sam

00:37:56.220 Harris

00:37:56.500 and it was

00:37:57.520 not my

00:37:57.980 opinion

00:37:58.280 that logic

00:37:58.900 was guiding

00:37:59.520 his

00:37:59.980 opinion

00:38:02.040 some of

00:38:03.520 some of you

00:38:03.640 saw it

00:38:03.960 too

00:38:04.100 did you

00:38:05.440 have a

00:38:05.700 sense

00:38:05.940 that

00:38:06.260 he

00:38:07.460 preferred

00:38:08.220 logic

00:38:09.380 I didn't

00:38:11.200 get the

00:38:11.940 sense

00:38:12.180 that it

00:38:12.480 was even

00:38:12.800 a preference

00:38:13.460 it felt

00:38:14.880 like a

00:38:15.700 strong

00:38:16.040 preference

00:38:16.420 to avoid

00:38:17.140 being

00:38:18.380 rational

00:38:18.780 about

00:38:19.080 Trump

00:38:19.380 that's

00:38:21.620 how it

00:38:21.840 felt

00:38:22.020 now again

00:38:22.600 I can't

00:38:23.160 read his

00:38:23.460 mind

00:38:23.880 I don't

00:38:24.280 know what

00:38:24.540 Sam Harris

00:38:25.060 is thinking

00:38:25.800 privately

00:38:26.740 about

00:38:27.140 anything

00:38:27.480 so it's

00:38:28.440 just

00:38:28.620 it's

00:38:28.920 just

00:38:29.100 a reaction

00:38:29.780 you know

00:38:30.900 basically a reaction

00:38:32.080 on my end

00:38:32.600 it's not

00:38:32.920 about him

00:38:33.300 all right

00:38:35.280 so

00:38:36.620 I love

00:38:38.180 the fact

00:38:38.540 that somebody

00:38:39.060 is working

00:38:39.480 on that

00:38:39.920 trying to

00:38:40.600 get our

00:38:40.960 our

00:38:41.980 conversations

00:38:42.700 realistic

00:38:44.040 but I think

00:38:45.060 AI is going

00:38:45.760 to solve

00:38:46.020 this problem

00:38:46.460 for us

00:38:46.980 and here's

00:38:47.880 how

00:38:48.080 I think

00:38:49.080 AI is going

00:38:49.960 to take

00:38:50.220 any story

00:38:50.860 and add

00:38:51.660 the context

00:38:52.340 that is

00:38:53.200 missing

00:38:53.500 and it's

00:38:55.160 going to

00:38:55.380 rewrite it

00:38:55.880 in simpler

00:38:56.320 terms

00:38:56.740 and make

00:38:58.280 the misleading

00:38:58.940 headlines

00:38:59.440 go away

00:38:59.940 it should

00:39:01.440 not be

00:39:01.860 hard

00:39:02.160 for AI

00:39:02.820 to dismantle

00:39:04.580 fake news

00:39:05.320 and tell you

00:39:06.740 what was fake

00:39:07.360 about it

00:39:07.740 just like I

00:39:08.280 did basically

00:39:08.780 so what I

00:39:09.760 did was I

00:39:10.360 said hey

00:39:10.980 this title

00:39:11.500 doesn't match

00:39:12.220 or is misleading

00:39:13.040 compared to

00:39:14.540 the content

00:39:15.020 I think AI

00:39:15.860 could do that

00:39:16.420 most of the

00:39:16.800 time

00:39:17.080 and I think

00:39:18.240 they could

00:39:18.520 summarize better

00:39:19.320 and I think

00:39:20.900 they could

00:39:21.460 basically solve

00:39:23.040 fake news

00:39:23.740 I mean

00:39:24.580 they could

00:39:24.820 come close

00:39:25.520 is Google

00:39:30.040 the top AI

00:39:30.780 I actually

00:39:31.340 don't know

00:39:31.700 that

00:39:31.980 and I

00:39:33.940 believe I

00:39:34.420 credited the

00:39:35.820 wrong person

00:39:36.480 with saying

00:39:36.900 that AI

00:39:37.360 was conscious

00:39:38.480 so I

00:39:40.160 saw a

00:39:40.640 follow up

00:39:41.100 I saw a

00:39:44.840 follow up

00:39:45.220 saying that

00:39:45.620 I may have

00:39:46.100 credited the

00:39:46.980 top Google

00:39:47.620 researcher

00:39:48.160 for saying

00:39:49.080 that AI

00:39:50.360 was conscious

00:39:51.140 but

00:39:51.840 at least

00:39:53.200 somebody who

00:39:53.680 knows what

00:39:54.000 they're talking

00:39:54.340 about thinks

00:39:54.900 I was

00:39:55.340 crediting the

00:39:56.040 wrong person

00:39:56.620 because I

00:39:57.160 think the

00:39:57.520 actual Google

00:39:58.200 head does

00:39:59.280 not say

00:39:59.680 that

00:39:59.960 so somebody

00:40:01.860 who's

00:40:02.320 high up in

00:40:04.540 that world

00:40:04.920 did say

00:40:05.340 it

00:40:05.840 alright

00:40:12.760 he was

00:40:13.860 considered

00:40:14.340 one of the

00:40:14.840 four horsemen

00:40:15.340 of atheism

00:40:15.940 yeah

00:40:16.200 code of

00:40:20.860 the

00:40:20.980 life

00:40:21.180 maker

00:40:21.600 alright

00:40:22.100 just

00:40:22.300 looking

00:40:22.520 at

00:40:22.660 your

00:40:22.920 your

00:40:24.640 comments

00:40:25.020 well

00:40:25.560 that's

00:40:25.800 all I

00:40:26.000 had to

00:40:26.240 do

00:40:26.600 to talk

00:40:27.680 about

00:40:27.880 today

00:40:28.220 I

00:40:28.680 noticed

00:40:28.960 Greg

00:40:29.420 Guffeld

00:40:29.840 was

00:40:30.220 trending

00:40:32.380 today

00:40:32.820 his

00:40:34.260 show

00:40:34.860 has

00:40:35.000 continued

00:40:35.380 to be

00:40:35.900 gigantically

00:40:36.840 popular

00:40:37.840 it was

00:40:42.180 weird

00:40:42.420 that weirdo

00:40:43.040 hired a

00:40:43.480 lawyer

00:40:43.700 for the

00:40:44.000 AI

00:40:44.260 I don't

00:40:45.820 know that

00:40:46.120 story

00:40:46.460 oh let's

00:40:50.080 talk about

00:40:50.700 Pelosi going

00:40:52.200 to Taiwan

00:40:52.800 I don't know

00:40:53.940 is that really

00:40:54.380 a story

00:40:54.800 I think it

00:40:56.900 would be a

00:40:57.300 story if

00:40:57.760 Pelosi didn't

00:40:58.500 go to

00:40:58.840 Taiwan

00:40:59.840 if you know

00:41:00.760 she had

00:41:01.000 wanted to

00:41:01.400 and changed

00:41:01.900 her mind

00:41:02.300 or something

00:41:02.660 but

00:41:03.660 I feel

00:41:06.620 as though

00:41:07.200 it's sort

00:41:08.900 of a

00:41:09.100 nothing

00:41:09.400 it's

00:41:12.660 absolutely

00:41:13.060 a story

00:41:13.720 because we'll

00:41:14.240 talk about

00:41:14.820 it

00:41:15.060 but what

00:41:15.820 do you

00:41:15.960 think

00:41:16.100 China is 0.85

00:41:16.500 going to

00:41:16.740 do

00:41:17.020 do you

00:41:17.780 think

00:41:17.940 China is 0.85

00:41:18.400 going to

00:41:18.740 punish

00:41:19.120 the

00:41:19.300 United

00:41:19.540 States

00:41:19.860 in some

00:41:20.240 way

00:41:20.420 for an

00:41:21.300 American

00:41:21.560 citizen

00:41:22.100 who is

00:41:23.060 a free

00:41:23.360 citizen

00:41:23.760 going to

00:41:24.260 another

00:41:24.520 free

00:41:24.780 country

00:41:25.080 to

00:41:25.260 visit

00:41:25.460 you

00:41:26.240 think

00:41:26.440 they're

00:41:26.620 going to

00:41:26.780 punish

00:41:27.020 us

00:41:27.220 for that

00:41:27.560 I

00:41:28.720 hope

00:41:28.980 so

00:41:29.300 boy do

00:41:34.320 I hope

00:41:34.640 China tries

00:41:35.260 to punish

00:41:35.700 us for

00:41:36.320 Pelosi

00:41:36.740 visiting

00:41:37.200 Taiwan

00:41:37.600 yeah

00:41:38.780 I hope

00:41:39.260 so

00:41:39.640 because

00:41:42.220 we definitely

00:41:44.060 need to be 0.99

00:41:44.760 murdering 0.56

00:41:45.380 their 0.99

00:41:45.700 fentanyl

00:41:47.220 dealers

00:41:50.520 there's

00:41:51.080 something

00:41:51.300 they're

00:41:51.540 doing

00:41:51.680 to us

00:41:52.080 let's

00:41:52.940 ratchet

00:41:54.200 it up

00:41:54.500 on our

00:41:54.780 side

00:42:02.140 a

00:42:02.600 I tweeted

00:42:04.380 this but

00:42:04.940 I forgot

00:42:05.380 to put

00:42:05.820 it in

00:42:05.960 my notes

00:42:06.320 there's

00:42:07.680 a

00:42:07.960 candidate

00:42:09.280 for

00:42:09.660 Arizona

00:42:10.200 attorney

00:42:10.660 general

00:42:12.980 find his

00:42:13.380 name so

00:42:13.900 I can

00:42:14.380 a little

00:42:14.720 shout out

00:42:15.840 here

00:42:16.100 probably

00:42:18.840 didn't

00:42:19.120 write it

00:42:19.440 down 1.00

00:42:20.080 damn 1.00

00:42:21.000 me 0.99

00:42:21.180 for not

00:42:21.520 writing

00:42:21.800 that

00:42:21.980 down

00:42:22.240 somebody

00:42:23.560 will

00:42:23.740 give me

00:42:24.700 the name

00:42:25.040 here in

00:42:25.320 the comments

00:42:25.760 but

00:42:26.800 there's

00:42:27.240 a

00:42:27.780 candidate

00:42:28.220 for

00:42:28.680 attorney

00:42:29.340 general

00:42:29.940 in

00:42:30.840 Arizona

00:42:33.740 who

00:42:35.540 says we

00:42:36.480 should

00:42:36.780 at least

00:42:37.600 that Arizona

00:42:38.220 should treat

00:42:38.860 the or

00:42:39.540 label the

00:42:40.240 cartels as

00:42:40.880 terrorist

00:42:41.180 organizations

00:42:41.800 so if the

00:42:44.160 federal government

00:42:44.820 will not

00:42:45.620 label

00:42:46.320 the cartels as

00:42:49.240 terrorist

00:42:49.520 organizations

00:42:50.160 Arizona

00:42:50.780 might do

00:42:52.200 it if

00:42:53.020 they elect

00:42:53.520 this

00:42:53.820 attorney

00:42:55.060 general

00:42:55.460 and if

00:42:56.020 he gets

00:42:56.340 his way

00:42:56.720 and

00:42:57.780 apparently

00:42:58.140 there's

00:42:58.780 some

00:42:59.360 constitutional

00:43:00.980 allowance

00:43:01.860 I've never

00:43:02.440 heard this

00:43:02.780 before

00:43:03.100 but have

00:43:03.820 you heard

00:43:04.140 that states

00:43:04.800 can create

00:43:05.420 their own

00:43:05.980 national

00:43:06.480 like a

00:43:07.520 state guard

00:43:08.000 not a

00:43:08.340 national

00:43:08.580 guard

00:43:08.840 have you

00:43:09.800 heard that

00:43:10.080 states

00:43:10.400 can form

00:43:10.880 their own

00:43:11.600 armies

00:43:12.660 basically

00:43:13.120 apparently

00:43:14.880 that's a

00:43:15.300 thing

00:43:15.600 yeah

00:43:16.600 so

00:43:17.520 the

00:43:18.280 Arizona

00:43:18.720 potential

00:43:20.540 AG

00:43:33.580 don't want

00:43:33.820 to not

00:43:34.060 mention

00:43:34.300 his name

00:44:07.620 see why

00:44:08.100 there's a

00:44:10.920 July 25th

00:44:12.040 Glenn Greenwald

00:44:12.960 tweet about

00:44:14.320 the Gottfeld

00:44:14.800 show how

00:44:15.300 it's basically

00:44:16.060 mopping up

00:44:16.620 the competition

00:44:17.260 now

00:44:18.420 so it's

00:44:24.140 fun to

00:44:27.040 enjoying it

00:44:27.500 as much

00:44:28.560 all right

00:44:32.700 here's

00:44:34.640 a

00:44:34.940 huh

00:44:37.640 all right

00:44:39.320 here's a

00:44:39.780 little

00:44:41.000 information on

00:44:42.060 fentanyl

00:44:42.680 and the

00:44:43.360 Dr.

00:44:43.880 Anarchy 0.55

00:44:44.240 comment

00:44:45.740 I don't

00:44:46.820 want to

00:44:47.060 attribute this

00:44:47.720 yet but let's

00:44:48.220 just say it's

00:44:48.660 from another

00:44:49.100 doctor

00:44:49.440 and

00:44:50.780 Doc Anarchy

00:44:51.880 I better read

00:44:53.080 it to myself

00:44:53.560 before I read

00:44:54.120 it out loud

00:44:54.520 oh okay

00:44:58.860 so it's

00:45:00.180 hard to

00:45:00.740 overdose on

00:45:01.820 oral

00:45:03.340 opiates

00:45:04.000 so I think

00:45:05.340 that's what

00:45:05.720 Dr.

00:45:06.020 Anarchy was 0.83

00:45:06.740 saying it's

00:45:07.140 hard to

00:45:07.560 it's sort

00:45:08.980 of rare

00:45:09.620 to overdose

00:45:11.000 on prescription

00:45:12.100 pills

00:45:13.400 but if you

00:45:15.340 mix it

00:45:15.840 if you add a

00:45:17.560 second medication

00:45:18.300 called

00:45:19.600 benzodiazepine

00:45:21.440 it becomes

00:45:22.500 very easy

00:45:23.120 oh and

00:45:24.980 90% of

00:45:25.880 prescription

00:45:26.380 opiate

00:45:26.840 overdoses

00:45:27.420 include that

00:45:28.400 drug

00:45:28.840 benzodiazepine

00:45:30.600 oh wow

00:45:33.300 so that's a

00:45:35.660 special case

00:45:36.280 but I don't

00:45:36.840 think that

00:45:37.320 I don't think

00:45:39.140 that takes

00:45:39.760 away from

00:45:40.380 Doc Anarchy's

00:45:41.180 point because

00:45:42.940 you know the

00:45:43.960 people who are

00:45:44.420 not taking

00:45:45.580 this other

00:45:45.980 drug at the

00:45:46.420 same time

00:45:46.820 would get a

00:45:47.540 lot of

00:45:47.700 benefit

00:45:47.960 all right

00:45:49.640 so this is

00:45:50.580 good context

00:45:51.940 all right

00:45:53.480 all right

00:45:57.760 and that

00:45:58.660 that

00:46:03.400 is what I

00:46:05.620 had to talk

00:46:06.000 about today

00:46:06.400 yeah Carrie

00:46:08.540 Lake is tough

00:46:09.320 on the cartels

00:46:10.020 as well

00:46:10.400 also running

00:46:11.240 what is she

00:46:11.700 running for

00:46:12.060 governor of

00:46:12.660 Arizona

00:46:13.000 yes it is a

00:46:15.400 great show

00:46:15.840 it is a great

00:46:16.540 show

00:46:16.800 you know the

00:46:18.380 the larger

00:46:19.480 point is that

00:46:20.200 I'm right about

00:46:21.020 everything today

00:46:23.120 all right

00:46:26.440 how did I

00:46:28.460 determine that

00:46:29.140 the Democrats

00:46:29.660 put a poison

00:46:30.340 bill in the

00:46:31.060 pact bill

00:46:31.920 look

00:46:34.880 well google

00:46:36.020 it and you

00:46:36.680 should find

00:46:37.120 that the

00:46:37.460 bill includes

00:46:38.100 things that

00:46:39.200 are off

00:46:39.600 point and

00:46:41.100 that the

00:46:41.620 Republicans

00:46:42.220 cared about

00:46:43.980 that I

00:46:45.580 feel like

00:46:45.940 there was a

00:46:46.480 story I

00:46:47.120 skipped here

00:46:47.660 that I

00:46:48.240 really wanted

00:46:48.740 to do

00:46:49.160 let's check

00:46:51.820 yeah

00:46:55.420 did you

00:46:58.180 affect the

00:46:58.840 DeSantis

00:46:59.280 ESG move

00:47:00.440 I did not

00:47:01.040 I mean I

00:47:02.220 don't think

00:47:02.520 I did

00:47:02.800 okay

00:47:07.740 what's my

00:47:13.380 prediction for

00:47:14.040 China's 0.76

00:47:14.600 response

00:47:15.120 I don't

00:47:16.780 know I

00:47:17.340 think it's

00:47:17.880 going to be

00:47:18.220 symbolic

00:47:18.840 I don't

00:47:20.960 think China's 0.94

00:47:21.560 response will

00:47:22.240 affect you as

00:47:23.060 a citizen of

00:47:23.740 the United

00:47:24.080 States

00:47:24.460 I feel like

00:47:25.520 they might do

00:47:26.000 something like

00:47:26.500 move some

00:47:27.000 warships around

00:47:27.940 or you know

00:47:29.560 talk differently

00:47:31.800 I don't know

00:47:32.600 I just don't

00:47:33.100 think it's

00:47:33.460 going to be

00:47:33.780 anything

00:47:34.080 they have to

00:47:34.800 push back

00:47:35.480 the famine

00:47:38.860 coming

00:47:39.240 I'm going to

00:47:40.340 vote against

00:47:40.780 the famine

00:47:41.260 based on

00:47:44.300 the Adams

00:47:44.960 law of

00:47:45.560 slow moving

00:47:46.140 disasters

00:47:46.760 now I know

00:47:47.680 this one's

00:47:48.160 special because

00:47:49.460 you can't

00:47:50.040 grow food

00:47:50.620 very quickly

00:47:51.360 so if the

00:47:52.580 food you

00:47:52.980 grew doesn't

00:47:53.960 produce

00:47:54.620 that's not

00:47:55.800 really a

00:47:56.180 quick turnaround

00:47:56.760 fix I get

00:47:57.720 that but I'm

00:47:59.180 going to vote

00:47:59.640 against mass

00:48:00.620 famine

00:48:01.000 now I don't

00:48:03.100 know that I'm

00:48:03.620 right so I'm

00:48:04.900 not going to

00:48:05.200 put 100% on

00:48:06.040 this one

00:48:06.380 I usually

00:48:07.580 don't but

00:48:08.580 I'd say I'm

00:48:09.820 going to put

00:48:10.080 a 90% odds

00:48:11.280 of no famine

00:48:12.380 and the reason

00:48:14.100 is that humans

00:48:16.160 are just really

00:48:17.060 really good at

00:48:18.400 responding to a

00:48:19.420 known problem

00:48:20.160 with enough time

00:48:21.020 to respond

00:48:21.620 and one way

00:48:23.980 or another I

00:48:24.460 feel like we

00:48:25.000 might be able

00:48:25.900 to get by

00:48:27.220 now I don't

00:48:28.120 think the

00:48:28.460 famine is for

00:48:29.760 the first world

00:48:30.500 countries it's

00:48:31.460 going to be for

00:48:32.000 who can't afford

00:48:32.900 to pay massive

00:48:34.240 prices to get

00:48:35.020 the limited

00:48:35.460 food but I

00:48:36.640 feel like we'll

00:48:37.180 figure out how

00:48:37.700 to keep them

00:48:38.100 alive long

00:48:38.640 enough to get

00:48:39.060 the next crop

00:48:39.760 going that's

00:48:41.000 what I feel

00:48:41.440 but we'll see

00:48:42.940 yeah Africa

00:48:44.260 could be tough

00:48:45.080 in Africa

00:48:45.520 I don't want to

00:48:47.000 minimize the

00:48:47.620 risk but I'm

00:48:49.240 confident we'll

00:48:49.960 figure it out

00:48:51.200 micro lessons on

00:48:53.920 how to make a

00:48:54.420 killer tweet I

00:48:55.660 can do that I

00:48:56.520 feel like maybe

00:48:57.180 I have

00:48:57.580 all right

00:49:03.060 and is there

00:49:08.120 any topic I

00:49:09.000 didn't cover

00:49:09.440 that you just

00:49:10.360 desperately need

00:49:11.480 me to

00:49:11.760 where am I

00:49:19.500 I'm at a

00:49:20.080 secret

00:49:20.620 writer's retreat

00:49:22.240 location

00:49:23.480 are you able

00:49:27.660 to smoke

00:49:28.200 while on

00:49:28.560 vacation

00:49:29.000 no comment

00:49:30.620 MTG was

00:49:34.280 acquitted of

00:49:34.900 what I

00:49:35.540 didn't know

00:49:35.880 there was

00:49:36.160 anything going

00:49:36.820 on

00:49:37.420 market index

00:49:39.580 was the market

00:49:40.680 up or down

00:49:41.180 make the sun

00:49:45.080 bigger

00:49:45.360 well I

00:49:51.980 could probably

00:49:52.400 tell you now

00:49:52.880 what makes a

00:49:53.400 killer tweet

00:49:53.980 you want your 0.91

00:49:56.720 killer tweet to

00:49:57.400 be short

00:49:58.220 and something

00:49:59.880 that people

00:50:00.580 would want to

00:50:01.160 say to their

00:50:01.840 friends so they

00:50:02.640 could remember

00:50:03.140 it easily

00:50:03.580 so it has to

00:50:04.600 be short and

00:50:05.140 clever

00:50:05.400 has to be on

00:50:07.300 a something

00:50:08.240 that's in the

00:50:08.720 headlines or

00:50:10.000 people are

00:50:10.440 really thinking

00:50:10.860 about right

00:50:11.320 now

00:50:11.680 I burned my

00:50:14.400 lip it's not

00:50:15.080 it's not a

00:50:16.000 monkeypox or

00:50:17.180 a weird

00:50:17.440 disease

00:50:17.880 it's just

00:50:19.500 a burn

00:50:19.880 and you

00:50:31.060 should always

00:50:31.520 be clever

00:50:32.320 and provocative

00:50:33.140 and ideally

00:50:34.240 say something

00:50:34.860 that's not

00:50:35.300 quite true

00:50:35.980 if you say

00:50:37.600 something that's

00:50:38.140 provocative and

00:50:38.880 sort of almost

00:50:39.820 true but not

00:50:40.900 quite you're

00:50:41.660 going to get

00:50:41.940 more energy

00:50:42.760 because people

00:50:43.680 want to

00:50:44.180 argue

00:50:44.880 you about

00:50:45.300 how true

00:50:45.900 it is

00:50:46.340 yeah

00:50:49.400 all right

00:50:50.200 let's

00:50:50.500 how about

00:50:50.820 less about

00:50:51.220 me

00:50:51.540 maybe

00:50:53.860 let's talk

00:50:54.600 less about

00:50:55.080 me

00:50:55.460 for a while

00:50:58.720 all right

00:51:00.780 talk about

00:51:05.860 Trump's

00:51:06.280 misspelled

00:51:06.680 tweets

00:51:07.100 I think

00:51:08.300 the misspelled

00:51:08.860 tweets are

00:51:09.480 not intentional

00:51:10.300 but I

00:51:12.260 think he

00:51:12.580 leaves them

00:51:13.160 intentionally

00:51:13.680 which is

00:51:14.480 different

00:51:14.840 you know

00:51:15.980 there have

00:51:16.440 been a number

00:51:16.820 of times

00:51:17.160 that I've

00:51:17.640 had a

00:51:18.420 typo

00:51:18.760 and a

00:51:19.000 tweet

00:51:19.240 and I've

00:51:21.180 decided to

00:51:21.780 leave it

00:51:22.220 because it

00:51:22.820 was getting

00:51:23.160 attention

00:51:23.600 so I think

00:51:27.120 that's all

00:51:27.480 that's happening

00:51:27.920 is Japan

00:51:28.800 safe

00:51:29.240 probably

00:51:29.760 give us

00:51:33.260 the women's

00:51:33.840 version of

00:51:34.420 the men's

00:51:34.960 secret lesson

00:51:35.860 I don't

00:51:36.920 know if I

00:51:37.220 could

00:51:37.540 I think

00:51:42.400 covfefe was

00:51:43.060 probably just a

00:51:43.660 pocket dial

00:51:44.280 no hints

00:51:48.300 all right

00:51:50.460 what was your

00:51:52.940 inspiration for

00:51:53.620 writing God's

00:51:54.320 Debris

00:51:54.620 if you don't

00:51:55.200 know I

00:51:55.520 wrote a

00:51:55.960 book called

00:51:56.320 God's

00:51:56.680 Debris

00:51:56.960 came out

00:51:57.620 about the

00:51:59.320 same time

00:51:59.720 the Twin

00:52:00.380 Towers

00:52:00.720 were falling

00:52:01.260 I think

00:52:01.620 but these

00:52:04.800 many years

00:52:05.260 later my

00:52:05.900 book God's

00:52:06.420 Debris is

00:52:06.940 still the

00:52:07.320 thing that

00:52:07.600 people talk

00:52:08.200 about the

00:52:08.600 most

00:52:08.980 when I'm

00:52:09.900 out in

00:52:10.160 public

00:52:10.520 these days

00:52:12.400 they're more

00:52:13.220 I guess

00:52:13.820 they'll more

00:52:14.140 often mention

00:52:15.280 coffee with

00:52:15.980 Scott Adams

00:52:16.480 but God's

00:52:18.940 Debris has

00:52:19.280 really made a

00:52:19.700 big impact

00:52:20.260 on people

00:52:20.680 and the

00:52:21.480 answer of

00:52:21.860 how I

00:52:22.200 came up

00:52:22.600 with it

00:52:22.940 is I

00:52:23.760 was in

00:52:24.040 the shower

00:52:24.420 and one

00:52:25.760 day all

00:52:26.280 of the

00:52:26.520 things I've

00:52:26.920 been thinking

00:52:27.380 about for

00:52:27.900 decades I

00:52:29.280 realized were

00:52:29.960 all connected

00:52:30.580 and that if I

00:52:32.580 put it in a

00:52:33.080 book it would

00:52:34.100 blow your 0.91

00:52:34.520 mind because

00:52:35.860 it was blowing

00:52:36.380 my mind

00:52:36.880 when I

00:52:37.140 thought about

00:52:37.520 it so I

00:52:39.060 thought well

00:52:39.580 if it's

00:52:40.140 blowing my

00:52:40.680 mind maybe

00:52:41.520 it'll blow

00:52:41.940 somebody else's

00:52:42.580 mind so I

00:52:43.320 put it in a

00:52:43.800 book and

00:52:45.340 when you

00:52:45.760 find out how

00:52:46.320 all these

00:52:46.760 things come

00:52:47.280 together you

00:52:48.720 might enjoy

00:52:49.260 it yeah

00:52:50.460 blew your

00:52:51.120 mind good

00:52:51.840 good it is

00:52:54.620 designed to

00:52:55.200 blow your 0.91

00:52:55.520 mind and

00:52:56.060 the the

00:52:58.000 context of

00:52:58.560 that is that

00:52:59.220 I used

00:52:59.680 hypnosis

00:53:00.300 technique in

00:53:01.540 the writing

00:53:01.940 if you use

00:53:04.280 hypnosis

00:53:04.720 technique in

00:53:05.400 the writing

00:53:05.780 you can get

00:53:07.080 some powerful

00:53:08.220 results so

00:53:09.220 that's what

00:53:09.540 I did

00:53:09.880 that's my

00:53:17.440 balcony that's

00:53:18.160 not a

00:53:18.440 fence

00:53:33.520 scene from

00:54:21.360 the other

00:54:24.680 worst movie

00:54:40.140 doesn't have a

00:54:40.740 good ending

00:54:41.220 and not only

00:54:42.200 does it not

00:54:42.760 have a good

00:54:43.240 ending it

00:54:43.780 has a it

00:54:47.940 going to spend

00:54:48.320 three hours to

00:54:52.520 don't do it 1.00

00:54:53.460 Titanic

00:54:54.000 terrible idea

00:54:55.320 for a movie

00:54:55.780 you know

00:54:57.120 what's worse

00:54:57.660 Schindler's

00:54:58.980 List

00:54:59.240 oh my 1.00

00:55:00.760 fucking god 1.00

00:55:01.560 Schindler's 1.00

00:55:03.220 List

00:55:03.500 there's a

00:55:04.100 specific scene

00:55:04.880 in there

00:55:05.160 and I'm

00:55:05.420 not going

00:55:05.660 to mention

00:55:05.940 it

00:55:06.180 that

00:55:07.140 traumatized

00:55:08.020 me for

00:55:08.400 years

00:55:09.180 and still

00:55:10.060 I was

00:55:10.600 actually

00:55:10.840 traumatized

00:55:11.640 now I

00:55:12.840 get that

00:55:13.460 we should

00:55:13.780 all know

00:55:14.060 how bad

00:55:14.440 it was

00:55:14.740 you know

00:55:15.500 you should

00:55:15.780 know the

00:55:16.820 holocaust 0.90

00:55:17.200 was bad

00:55:17.720 and making

00:55:18.840 it emotional

00:55:19.580 and bringing

00:55:20.020 you into

00:55:20.380 it definitely

00:55:20.820 has some

00:55:21.300 some utility

00:55:23.180 but don't

00:55:25.340 watch that

00:55:25.820 for entertainment

00:55:26.500 if you want

00:55:27.800 to give

00:55:28.020 yourself brain 0.50

00:55:28.740 damage

00:55:29.060 watch that

00:55:29.560 movie

00:55:29.860 I got

00:55:30.780 brain

00:55:31.080 damage

00:55:31.460 that's not

00:55:32.700 a joke

00:55:33.140 actual brain

00:55:34.640 damage

00:55:35.020 because it

00:55:36.080 created something

00:55:36.940 in my mind

00:55:37.520 that was unpleasant

00:55:38.300 and didn't go

00:55:39.040 away

00:55:39.360 if somebody

00:55:40.380 puts something

00:55:40.900 in your mind

00:55:41.340 that stays

00:55:41.860 there

00:55:42.180 it stays

00:55:43.180 unpleasant

00:55:43.660 and it never

00:55:44.220 goes away

00:55:44.640 that's brain

00:55:45.120 damage

00:55:45.500 I had a brain

00:55:46.740 that didn't

00:55:47.160 have that

00:55:47.620 and now it

00:55:48.080 does

00:55:48.340 it's brain

00:55:48.700 damage 1.00

00:55:49.040 that fucking 1.00

00:55:50.100 movie gave 1.00

00:55:50.600 me brain

00:55:50.960 damage

00:55:51.260 and that's

00:55:51.640 not

00:55:52.020 hyperbole

00:55:53.000 literal 1.00

00:55:54.160 fucking 1.00

00:55:54.700 brain 1.00

00:55:55.020 damage

00:55:55.420 and people

00:55:56.820 like give

00:55:57.400 it an award

00:55:57.960 why do you

00:55:59.300 give an award

00:55:59.880 to something

00:56:00.300 that gives

00:56:00.640 you brain

00:56:01.020 damage

00:56:01.380 come on

00:56:02.200 I mean

00:56:03.500 well I

00:56:04.180 know why

00:56:04.680 but

00:56:05.080 yeah serenity

00:56:07.960 is excellent

00:56:08.440 I agree

00:56:10.120 what about

00:56:12.440 Stephen King

00:56:13.140 the only thing

00:56:14.920 I can say

00:56:15.380 about Stephen

00:56:15.920 King

00:56:16.220 is that

00:56:16.600 when you

00:56:17.000 when you

00:56:18.280 see him

00:56:18.700 tweet

00:56:19.120 you wonder

00:56:20.660 how he

00:56:21.060 could write

00:56:21.380 a book

00:56:21.800 anybody else

00:56:25.220 have that

00:56:25.620 feeling

00:56:26.260 he tweets

00:56:28.500 like he's

00:56:29.020 somebody who

00:56:29.560 used to

00:56:30.020 know how

00:56:30.360 to write

00:56:30.640 a book

00:56:31.080 but something

00:56:32.360 terrible has

00:56:33.020 happened in

00:56:33.500 the meantime

00:56:33.880 like maybe

00:56:36.180 maybe drugs 0.75

00:56:37.440 some kind of

00:56:39.320 mental decline

00:56:40.080 of some type

00:56:40.920 because if he's

00:56:42.200 always been

00:56:42.660 like this

00:56:43.340 is that smart

00:56:45.220 enough to

00:56:45.580 write a book

00:56:46.080 I don't

00:56:47.400 know

00:56:47.740 it looks

00:56:48.800 like

00:56:49.100 see the

00:56:49.940 problem is

00:56:50.360 that even

00:56:50.780 his

00:56:51.040 criticisms

00:56:51.620 don't seem

00:56:52.300 smart

00:56:52.840 there are

00:56:54.600 lots of

00:56:54.900 people I

00:56:55.220 disagree

00:56:55.620 with

00:56:56.060 but they

00:56:57.160 don't look

00:56:57.560 actually 0.99

00:56:58.160 stupid 1.00

00:56:58.660 they look 1.00

00:56:59.940 like just

00:57:00.320 people who

00:57:01.120 you know

00:57:01.460 maybe they're

00:57:02.000 confused or

00:57:02.860 whatever

00:57:03.100 but they

00:57:03.840 don't look 1.00

00:57:04.140 stupid 1.00

00:57:04.600 you know 1.00

00:57:06.380 if Jake

00:57:07.720 Tamper says

00:57:08.360 something I

00:57:08.840 don't like

00:57:09.420 he never 0.99

00:57:10.520 sounds stupid 0.97

00:57:11.320 because he's 1.00

00:57:12.880 not

00:57:13.280 right

00:57:13.840 but Stephen

00:57:16.000 King actually 1.00

00:57:16.560 sounds stupid 1.00

00:57:17.360 when he 1.00

00:57:17.740 tweets

00:57:18.100 maybe he's

00:57:20.140 just a bad

00:57:20.580 tweeter

00:57:20.920 but it's

00:57:21.660 hard for me

00:57:22.140 to reconcile

00:57:22.780 the tweeting

00:57:23.440 with the fact

00:57:24.500 that he wrote

00:57:24.960 all these

00:57:25.340 popular books

00:57:26.380 maybe Joshua

00:57:31.520 Lysak

00:57:32.000 could explain

00:57:32.820 it to us

00:57:33.580 because I

00:57:36.440 already know

00:57:36.800 the answer

00:57:37.280 but maybe

00:57:38.640 Joshua can

00:57:39.540 explain that

00:57:40.060 to you

00:57:40.400 why is it

00:57:41.980 he's writing

00:57:42.660 all these

00:57:43.020 good books

00:57:43.660 still

00:57:44.580 and yet

00:57:45.060 he seems

00:57:45.500 like he

00:57:46.080 couldn't be

00:57:46.480 capable of

00:57:47.000 that

00:57:47.180 what could

00:57:50.100 possibly be

00:57:50.700 the explanation

00:57:51.280 for that

00:57:51.680 that's one

00:57:53.960 explanation

00:57:54.460 I don't know

00:57:55.720 if it's the

00:57:56.080 only explanation

00:57:56.800 but it's

00:57:57.300 certainly one

00:57:57.900 of them

00:57:58.500 yeah

00:58:01.980 alright

00:58:02.580 that's enough

00:58:03.540 for now

00:58:03.920 no I don't

00:58:05.100 have monkey

00:58:05.500 pox

00:58:05.860 I burned

00:58:06.520 my lip

00:58:07.000 I hope

00:58:08.520 that's the

00:58:08.840 last time

00:58:09.160 I have to

00:58:09.480 say that

00:58:09.820 today

00:58:10.160 and I'll

00:58:11.540 talk to you

00:58:12.060 tomorrow

00:58:12.820 what do I

00:58:13.240 do it

00:58:15.400 soon
