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.
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.
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
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.
00:11:52.440 In the whole fucking world, I think it was only me.
00:11:55.680 That's why you watch me.
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
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.
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,
00:17:30.000 and they were painting the GOP as a bunch of political bastards
00:17:33.160 who didn't really care about veterans.
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.
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,
00:29:32.300 all addicts are liars.
00:29:33.640 You know that, right?
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.
00:29:55.800 And sometimes it means
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.
00:32:43.220 You're saying idiots
00:32:46.320 but that's unkind.
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
00:32:55.760 NPC or stupid.
00:32:57.580 Just say this.
00:32:58.360 People with no experience
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
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
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
00:37:08.260 bullshit
00:37:08.760 if anybody
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
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
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
00:41:44.760 murdering
00:41:45.380 their
00:41:45.700 fentanyl
00:41:47.220 dealers
00:41:47.660 in China
00:41:49.480 so if
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
00:41:55.020 too
00:41:55.240 let's
00:41:56.660 go kill
00:41:57.060 their
00:41:57.280 fentanyl
00:41:57.780 dealers
00:41:58.100 where they
00:41:58.460 stand
00:41:58.820 did you
00:42:01.100 see that
00:42:01.700 there's
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
00:42:11.080 let me
00:42:12.980 find his
00:42:13.380 name so
00:42:13.900 I can
00:42:14.140 give him
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
00:42:20.080 damn
00:42:21.000 me
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
00:43:21.360 guy running
00:43:22.120 as a
00:43:22.460 Republican

00:43:24.820 give me
00:43:25.080 his name

00:43:32.080 out in
00:43:32.400 the comments
00:43:33.020 because I
00:43:33.580 don't want
00:43:33.820 to not
00:43:34.060 mention
00:43:34.300 his name
00:43:34.680 he's too

00:44:04.940 trending

00:44:07.620 see why
00:44:08.100 there's a
00:44:10.920 July 25th

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

00:44:26.380 you're
00:44:27.040 enjoying it
00:44:27.500 as much
00:44:27.800 as I

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

00:53:29.500 all-time worst
00:53:30.080 movies I
00:53:32.140 would like to
00:53:32.700 reenact a
00:53:33.520 scene from

00:54:12.140 10 minutes
00:54:12.640 that's my
00:54:17.040 description of
00:54:18.580 2001
00:54:19.120 literally one of
00:54:20.280 the worst
00:54:20.540 movies ever
00:54:21.080 made
00:54:21.360 the other
00:54:24.680 worst movie
00:54:25.240 was
00:54:25.720 Titanic
00:54:27.660 if you
00:54:30.520 if you
00:54:30.940 recommend
00:54:31.300 somebody
00:54:31.800 watch
00:54:32.800 Titanic
00:54:33.280 you're an
00:54:33.660 asshole
00:54:33.980 because no
00:54:36.000 matter how
00:54:36.440 much you like
00:54:37.040 Titanic
00:54:37.500 it's way too
00:54:38.760 long and it
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
00:54:44.320 has an ending
00:54:44.860 that will give
00:54:45.380 you PTSD
00:54:46.120 why are you
00:54:47.940 going to spend
00:54:48.320 three hours to
00:54:49.060 give yourself
00:54:49.520 a lifetime of
00:54:50.460 PTSD
00:54:50.920 dumb
00:54:52.520 don't do it
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
00:55:00.760 fucking god
00:55:01.560 Schindler's
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
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
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
00:55:49.040 that fucking
00:55:50.100 movie gave
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
00:55:54.160 fucking
00:55:54.700 brain
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
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
00:56:58.160 stupid
00:56:58.660 they look
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
00:57:04.140 stupid
00:57:04.600 you know
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
00:57:10.520 sounds stupid
00:57:11.320 because he's
00:57:12.880 not
00:57:13.280 right
00:57:13.840 but Stephen
00:57:16.000 King actually
00:57:16.560 sounds stupid
00:57:17.360 when he
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
