Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1832 Scott Adams： Time's Up. Phase 2 Begins

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Highlight of Civilization.

00:00:05.540 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:07.060 It's the best thing that's ever happened to you in your whole damn life.

00:00:11.960 And, oh my God, my phone just stopped working.

00:00:15.640 What is going on?

00:00:18.820 Holy cow. 0.89

00:00:20.320 Really?

00:00:21.480 My phone just blew up.

00:00:25.060 All right, I'm going to play something for you in a minute,

00:00:27.240 but I've got to get it fired up here.

00:00:30.000 Yeah, you'll be glad I did.

00:00:33.480 Boy, will you be happy.

00:00:35.160 Happiest day of your life.

00:00:39.040 Here it comes. Here it comes.

00:00:42.780 Ladies and gentlemen,

00:00:45.140 today will be one of the best days of your entire life,

00:00:50.280 because you're here with us.

00:00:52.540 And if you'd like to take it up a notch,

00:00:54.900 and I think you do, I think you do,

00:00:56.860 all you need is

00:00:58.760 a cup or mug or a glass of tank of chalice,

00:01:01.900 a kinteen jug or a flask,

00:01:03.700 a vessel of any kind,

00:01:05.040 fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:01:08.880 And join me now

00:01:09.740 for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:01:12.420 It's the dopamine of the day.

00:01:14.220 The thing that makes everything better,

00:01:15.760 the simultaneous sip.

00:01:17.260 But it's coming at you now.

00:01:18.340 Go.

00:01:25.500 See, that makes my technology all work better now.

00:01:30.420 So I wanted to play for you a dramatic reading.

00:01:34.740 Staff, it is my belief that you were doing great

00:01:36.660 and irreparable.

00:01:37.560 By Jack Basavik of Mark Milley's resignation letter.

00:01:43.840 Did you read Mark Milley's resignation letter?

00:01:48.380 So apparently he wrote a resignation letter

00:01:50.980 when he was in the Trump administration.

00:01:54.780 And he did not deliver it, so he didn't resign.

00:01:58.060 But we have access to the letter.

00:02:00.720 It is the funniest letter.

00:02:02.260 Because the first thing we learned

00:02:06.500 is he's a terrible writer. 0.61

00:02:09.300 He doesn't look like a good general, frankly,

00:02:11.700 but he's a terrible writer.

00:02:13.560 But Jack Basavik takes it to the next level.

00:02:16.420 And he did a dramatic reading

00:02:18.260 of Mark Milley's resignation letter.

00:02:21.260 I'm just going to play for you

00:02:22.200 just a small clip from that.

00:02:25.540 ...arm to my country.

00:02:27.380 I believe that you have made a concerted effort

00:02:29.260 over time to politicize

00:02:31.100 the United States military.

00:02:32.580 I thought that I could change that.

00:02:34.520 But I've come to the realization

00:02:36.020 that I cannot,

00:02:37.180 and I need to step aside

00:02:38.420 and let someone else try.

00:02:40.200 I'm dead serious.

00:02:41.360 This is exact.

00:02:42.040 I'm reading it verbatim.

00:02:44.500 Mr. President,

00:02:45.340 you are using the military

00:02:46.400 to create fear in the minds of people,

00:02:48.780 and we are trying to protect

00:02:49.800 the American people.

00:02:50.680 I cannot stand idly by

00:02:51.900 and participate in that attack,

00:02:54.020 verbally or otherwise,

00:02:55.260 on the American people.

00:02:56.640 The American people trust their military.

00:02:58.420 We cannot turn back.

00:02:59.440 It continues.

00:03:00.020 All right.

00:03:04.080 I won't play the whole thing

00:03:05.280 because you have to go see it.

00:03:08.420 But you can see it

00:03:09.440 in Jack Posobiec's Twitter feed,

00:03:12.020 or I retweeted it this morning.

00:03:13.800 You can find it at the top of my feed.

00:03:16.640 That's really funny.

00:03:19.120 I wish I'd thought of doing that

00:03:21.040 because that worked perfectly.

00:03:25.560 All right.

00:03:26.400 Well, let's talk about the good news

00:03:27.520 before we get to the FBI raid stuff.

00:03:30.120 Of course we'll be talking about that.

00:03:31.540 Of course we will.

00:03:33.980 I mentioned this before,

00:03:35.300 but I think this is going to be

00:03:36.220 the biggest deal in the world.

00:03:38.320 Like, actually,

00:03:39.120 the biggest thing that's going to happen

00:03:41.900 in the world over the next 50 years,

00:03:44.040 which is building cities from scratch,

00:03:46.540 largely because our existing cities are legacy

00:03:50.260 and it's too hard to change them

00:03:52.860 into something better.

00:03:54.360 They're all car-centric and polluted and blah.

00:03:58.040 But Saudi Arabia is building 0.86

00:04:01.160 this many miles long city.

00:04:05.860 It's like an enclosed structure

00:04:08.280 that will go for miles and miles

00:04:10.540 in like a straight line.

00:04:12.600 And each little square within it

00:04:14.760 would be a living place

00:04:16.640 where everybody could walk

00:04:17.600 to get everything they need.

00:04:19.040 So there'd be no cars,

00:04:20.880 no pollution,

00:04:22.880 probably no crime.

00:04:24.080 I mean, I'm guessing there'll be

00:04:26.100 lots of security cameras and stuff,

00:04:28.300 probably no crime.

00:04:29.940 And everything will be convenient

00:04:31.580 and clean.

00:04:34.000 Now, you know, skeptics say

00:04:36.220 they'll never build this thing,

00:04:37.400 but apparently they already have approval.

00:04:39.420 And it's one of 10 cities,

00:04:42.300 modern cities,

00:04:42.980 that are being designed around the world.

00:04:45.500 So in 10 different places,

00:04:47.800 people are trying to build

00:04:48.860 a city from scratch

00:04:50.100 where you do everything right.

00:04:52.140 Now, one of the things

00:04:52.920 that I think they're doing,

00:04:53.820 the Saudi version,

00:04:55.480 is that the parts to build it

00:04:58.280 will be designed in the factory

00:04:59.820 so that you don't have to cut it

00:05:02.180 when it gets there.

00:05:02.920 I think that's what they're saying.

00:05:04.120 I'm reading between the lines.

00:05:05.720 But to me, that's the biggest deal.

00:05:07.660 The biggest deal is

00:05:08.740 if you could make one little part

00:05:10.840 of this many miles long city,

00:05:13.900 if you could make one little part

00:05:15.140 of it work perfectly,

00:05:16.600 you just reproduce it.

00:05:19.000 So I would think the economics

00:05:20.580 of this would be terrific.

00:05:22.160 I don't know.

00:05:22.820 We'll wait and see.

00:05:23.820 Maybe one of the 10

00:05:25.040 will get it right.

00:05:27.560 Well, Rasmussen asked

00:05:28.880 the American public

00:05:29.760 what they thought about

00:05:30.960 reinstituting the military draft.

00:05:35.180 Military draft.

00:05:38.340 I'm going to test my audience

00:05:39.760 because I know that you're

00:05:41.140 smarter than the average audience.

00:05:44.000 So most of you have not seen

00:05:45.420 the results of this survey.

00:05:46.580 So I want to see how close you can get

00:05:48.820 to guessing what percentage

00:05:51.220 of the American adults

00:05:53.100 think that it would be a good idea

00:05:55.820 to reinstitute the military draft.

00:05:59.120 Oh, my God!

00:06:00.920 How do you do it?

00:06:03.040 How do you do it?

00:06:04.000 Yeah, you're so close.

00:06:07.740 23%.

00:06:08.260 And 23% is nearly,

00:06:10.740 that's nearly a quarter,

00:06:14.060 which sometimes is expressed as 25%.

00:06:17.000 Now, if you're new to my live streams,

00:06:21.680 you may be impressed

00:06:22.620 at this feat of mental acuity.

00:06:27.220 You should stay around

00:06:28.520 if you're new.

00:06:29.940 Everybody who watches my live stream

00:06:32.160 long enough

00:06:32.780 could have gotten that answer right

00:06:34.720 without knowing anything

00:06:36.040 about the survey itself.

00:06:37.740 Every one of you could have gotten

00:06:38.880 that answer right.

00:06:39.580 So the newcomers,

00:06:42.000 stick around.

00:06:43.040 That's the sort of thing

00:06:43.840 you're going to learn.

00:06:46.200 All right.

00:06:49.340 The funniest tweet I've ever tweeted

00:06:51.620 was completely ignored.

00:06:55.160 So I'm going to tell you about it

00:06:57.820 because I don't like my best work

00:06:59.940 to be ignored.

00:07:01.680 Now, I'm going to ask you

00:07:03.620 after I explain it,

00:07:06.580 you tell me this isn't my best work.

00:07:09.580 But maybe it was too subtle.

00:07:13.560 All right.

00:07:13.800 So there's a tweet

00:07:14.480 by Randy Weingarten.

00:07:17.240 You might know her

00:07:18.260 as the head

00:07:19.200 of the biggest teachers union.

00:07:21.480 And here's what she tweeted.

00:07:23.360 She said,

00:07:23.960 the teacher shortage was bad

00:07:25.560 before this year,

00:07:27.100 but it's been made worse

00:07:28.540 by culture wars,

00:07:30.960 the mask wars,

00:07:32.500 the fabrication of CRT,

00:07:34.880 the shenanigans of politicians

00:07:36.520 like Governor Abbott in Texas

00:07:38.200 and Governor DeSantis

00:07:39.460 and Florida.

00:07:40.800 So the head of the biggest teachers union

00:07:42.740 is noting that there's just

00:07:44.520 all kinds of problems

00:07:45.800 related to schools.

00:07:47.980 You've got your teacher shortages,

00:07:49.940 you know,

00:07:50.120 teachers don't want to teach,

00:07:51.500 and mask wars,

00:07:53.220 and culture wars,

00:07:54.940 and CRT wars,

00:07:56.520 and then politics.

00:07:57.900 And here's what I tweeted.

00:08:04.360 I said that

00:08:05.420 one person can make a difference.

00:08:12.220 That's all.

00:08:13.680 One person can make a difference.

00:08:17.500 Absolutely nobody got the joke.

00:08:19.340 And I don't think you would have

00:08:22.680 gotten it necessarily

00:08:23.480 except I queued it up

00:08:24.580 so you knew what to look for.

00:08:26.280 But I started to tweet

00:08:30.480 find the common variable

00:08:32.720 because she's tweeting

00:08:34.620 about all these things going wrong,

00:08:36.280 and I'm thinking,

00:08:36.820 what do they all have in common?

00:08:41.160 Her.

00:08:42.280 The only thing they all have

00:08:43.720 in common is her.

00:08:45.300 They're completely different topics.

00:08:47.100 Masks,

00:08:48.460 masks,

00:08:49.320 culture wars,

00:08:50.360 it's all different topics.

00:08:51.780 Teachers don't want to teach.

00:08:53.360 It's all her.

00:08:55.400 It's all her.

00:08:57.320 It's systemic racism.

00:08:59.100 It's her.

00:09:00.840 We're not doing enough

00:09:02.120 about climate change.

00:09:04.220 It's her.

00:09:05.940 Do you know why

00:09:06.340 we're not doing enough

00:09:07.280 about climate change?

00:09:08.640 Because an entire,

00:09:09.980 an entire,

00:09:12.880 I don't know,

00:09:13.440 several generations of kids

00:09:15.020 have been trained

00:09:15.920 to think that nuclear

00:09:17.240 would kill them.

00:09:19.040 She's basically

00:09:19.840 the one person

00:09:20.820 who has more to do

00:09:22.440 with destroying

00:09:23.120 the United States

00:09:24.240 than anybody ever has.

00:09:26.920 And so when you ask,

00:09:28.320 can one person

00:09:29.000 make a difference

00:09:29.660 in this world?

00:09:31.880 Yeah.

00:09:33.220 Yeah.

00:09:33.660 Apparently,

00:09:34.240 apparently one person

00:09:35.080 can make a difference.

00:09:37.460 All right.

00:09:39.380 That was my best work.

00:09:42.980 All right.

00:09:43.660 So I tweeted today,

00:09:45.940 Time's Up.

00:09:47.780 Now,

00:09:48.240 most people who follow me

00:09:49.580 recognize that

00:09:50.320 to be a follow-up

00:09:51.120 to my tweet.

00:09:52.740 After the FBI raid

00:09:54.240 and we were still

00:09:54.820 in the fog of war,

00:09:55.840 I said,

00:09:56.520 you know,

00:09:56.760 I give my government

00:09:57.560 48 hours

00:09:58.660 to explain

00:10:00.360 why it did something

00:10:02.280 that needs an explanation.

00:10:04.440 You know,

00:10:04.560 why did the FBI

00:10:05.260 raid a former president?

00:10:06.800 Because it looks like

00:10:08.020 a political act.

00:10:10.800 Don't know for sure,

00:10:12.640 but it looks like it.

00:10:14.300 So in a case

00:10:15.060 where it looks

00:10:15.860 so much like

00:10:16.500 a political act,

00:10:17.460 which would be

00:10:17.860 the worst thing ever,

00:10:19.820 well,

00:10:21.260 maybe not ever,

00:10:22.160 but we deserve

00:10:25.720 an explanation,

00:10:26.860 do we not?

00:10:27.900 Now,

00:10:28.180 48 hours went by

00:10:29.460 and I have not heard

00:10:30.540 what I would consider

00:10:32.220 an adequate explanation.

00:10:34.180 I do understand

00:10:34.960 that he's accused

00:10:35.840 of doing something

00:10:36.600 illegal with documents.

00:10:38.360 I do understand

00:10:39.220 that if he did something

00:10:40.700 within a certain category,

00:10:42.320 it would be a felony.

00:10:44.360 And I do understand

00:10:45.480 that our law enforcement people

00:10:47.060 are supposed to act

00:10:47.980 on stuff like that.

00:10:49.700 But of course,

00:10:51.020 you have precedent,

00:10:51.880 you have other people

00:10:52.620 where the FBI didn't act.

00:10:54.160 Maybe it wasn't,

00:10:54.840 it was a misdemeanor then,

00:10:56.020 so maybe it's different.

00:10:57.160 But there's lots to explain.

00:10:59.440 Now,

00:10:59.980 for 48 hours,

00:11:01.080 I was open to the possibility

00:11:02.560 that they might have

00:11:04.080 an explanation.

00:11:06.100 Maybe.

00:11:06.720 Just because I couldn't

00:11:07.680 imagine one,

00:11:08.820 that doesn't mean

00:11:10.240 it didn't exist.

00:11:11.560 Because it could be

00:11:12.400 just a lack of imagination.

00:11:14.700 I can't imagine

00:11:15.920 any reason

00:11:16.500 why this would be

00:11:17.420 appropriate,

00:11:18.660 but maybe.

00:11:19.700 So you wait two days.

00:11:22.240 Of course,

00:11:22.820 the country

00:11:23.360 is, you know,

00:11:24.640 is complaining.

00:11:26.080 Of course,

00:11:26.840 the FBI

00:11:27.340 and Department of Justice

00:11:28.320 know

00:11:28.840 that the country

00:11:30.140 is not happy about this.

00:11:32.260 So where's our response?

00:11:34.720 Has anybody seen

00:11:35.480 any kind of

00:11:35.980 official response?

00:11:39.340 I haven't.

00:11:40.980 Right?

00:11:41.680 And so,

00:11:42.480 what do you do

00:11:43.120 when you have

00:11:44.040 a completely

00:11:44.720 reasonable expectation?

00:11:46.880 Not a requirement.

00:11:47.720 I mean,

00:11:48.200 I can't impose

00:11:49.440 a deadline

00:11:49.940 on the government.

00:11:51.220 But wouldn't you say

00:11:51.980 that 48 hours

00:11:52.880 is a perfectly

00:11:53.720 reasonable standard

00:11:54.920 for somebody

00:11:56.360 to say something?

00:11:57.840 I would even allow

00:11:58.880 that maybe

00:11:59.300 they could follow up

00:12:00.100 later

00:12:00.420 and add some details

00:12:01.900 they forgot,

00:12:02.660 but something.

00:12:05.160 Now,

00:12:05.600 what do you do

00:12:06.200 in the absence

00:12:07.560 of that something?

00:12:09.900 Phase two.

00:12:11.840 So phase two

00:12:12.960 has begun.

00:12:14.560 Phase one

00:12:15.240 was waiting

00:12:15.940 for the fog

00:12:16.580 of war

00:12:16.900 to clear up

00:12:17.540 and just see

00:12:18.060 what they said.

00:12:19.180 Just, you know,

00:12:19.840 be open to

00:12:20.460 there might be

00:12:20.920 some other side

00:12:21.640 to the story.

00:12:23.480 We're beyond

00:12:24.480 that now.

00:12:26.860 It's obvious

00:12:27.620 at this point

00:12:28.360 that whatever

00:12:29.380 we hear

00:12:29.920 will be just

00:12:30.400 cooked up bullshit

00:12:31.620 because it doesn't

00:12:33.700 take that long

00:12:34.300 to tell the truth.

00:12:36.160 It doesn't take

00:12:37.180 long to tell the truth.

00:12:38.900 If the people

00:12:39.780 who were in charge

00:12:41.120 or believed

00:12:41.660 that this was

00:12:42.280 a good play,

00:12:43.560 that they had

00:12:44.200 done something

00:12:44.760 that the country

00:12:45.460 would be happy with,

00:12:47.000 they'd be talking

00:12:47.820 about it all day long.

00:12:49.560 Would they not?

00:12:51.200 Can you think

00:12:51.760 of a reason

00:12:52.180 that the government

00:12:53.020 would not tell you

00:12:54.280 more information

00:12:55.060 if they were proud

00:12:56.560 of what they had done?

00:12:58.360 If they thought

00:12:59.140 they did good work,

00:13:00.560 you don't think

00:13:01.180 they'd be telling it?

00:13:02.940 Who doesn't tell you

00:13:04.060 they did good work?

00:13:05.580 Especially a,

00:13:06.320 you know,

00:13:06.580 government organization.

00:13:07.840 Of course.

00:13:08.260 So while we still

00:13:11.020 don't know

00:13:11.580 the whole situation,

00:13:13.820 we can move

00:13:14.580 to phase two.

00:13:16.280 And phase two

00:13:17.240 is where you

00:13:18.100 lock in an assumption

00:13:19.260 that there has been

00:13:21.360 criminal

00:13:22.480 or inappropriate

00:13:23.300 activity.

00:13:25.020 So at this point

00:13:26.020 we should,

00:13:26.940 as reasonable

00:13:27.640 consumers of the news

00:13:29.000 and as reasonable

00:13:30.560 watch dogs

00:13:32.420 of our own government,

00:13:33.940 we can move

00:13:34.700 to phase two.

00:13:35.420 And phase two

00:13:36.940 is the assumption

00:13:37.720 of guilt.

00:13:39.240 Now they can still

00:13:40.080 defend themselves.

00:13:41.980 There's nothing

00:13:42.480 to stop them

00:13:43.120 from tomorrow

00:13:44.080 giving me

00:13:45.200 a good set of reasons

00:13:46.140 where I say,

00:13:46.900 oh, I wish you

00:13:47.820 said that earlier,

00:13:49.440 but I understand

00:13:50.280 why you waited

00:13:50.880 and those are

00:13:51.460 pretty good reasons.

00:13:53.180 I'd be open to that.

00:13:54.960 Totally open to it.

00:13:56.260 But phase two

00:13:56.960 we have entered.

00:13:57.780 Phase two

00:13:58.160 is the assumption

00:13:59.480 of guilt

00:14:00.000 by the FBI,

00:14:02.120 Department of Justice

00:14:02.880 and the White House.

00:14:04.180 Now there are

00:14:04.660 some denials

00:14:05.320 about whether

00:14:05.880 the White House

00:14:06.460 knew about it.

00:14:07.920 I don't care.

00:14:09.420 Do you?

00:14:10.360 I don't think

00:14:11.020 it's relevant

00:14:11.640 that they denied it.

00:14:13.980 Because we're

00:14:14.660 in a mode

00:14:15.060 where just people

00:14:15.760 are going to

00:14:16.160 deny anything.

00:14:17.220 So denials

00:14:17.780 don't mean anything

00:14:18.540 at this point.

00:14:20.200 48 hours

00:14:21.060 without a statement,

00:14:23.940 nothing they say

00:14:24.780 after this

00:14:25.260 is going to hold

00:14:25.840 too much credibility.

00:14:28.120 Now,

00:14:29.080 what should you do

00:14:32.280 like actually do

00:14:34.940 in a world

00:14:36.400 in which

00:14:36.980 it appears

00:14:39.300 that the FBI

00:14:40.140 and the Department

00:14:40.780 of Justice

00:14:41.200 have weaponized

00:14:42.160 against a segment

00:14:43.720 of the population?

00:14:45.200 What is the proper

00:14:46.200 response to that?

00:14:48.380 Well,

00:14:49.020 when I tweeted

00:14:50.260 that we had entered

00:14:51.100 phase two,

00:14:52.720 I got two reactions,

00:14:55.540 pretty excited reactions

00:14:56.700 from my critics.

00:14:57.980 and they were opposites,

00:15:00.580 which is weird.

00:15:02.320 So there was

00:15:02.820 a whole bunch

00:15:03.280 of critics

00:15:03.740 who come in

00:15:04.200 and I think

00:15:05.120 these group

00:15:05.920 are maybe

00:15:07.500 paid trolls

00:15:08.520 because there's

00:15:09.460 something that

00:15:09.940 a certain group

00:15:10.680 of critics

00:15:11.140 always say

00:15:12.060 that sounds like

00:15:13.860 it's a cookie cutter,

00:15:14.960 like they have

00:15:15.380 instructions

00:15:15.940 of what to say.

00:15:17.160 And they usually

00:15:17.820 pile in and say

00:15:18.880 something about

00:15:19.480 Garfield

00:15:20.060 or some other comic

00:15:21.420 to minimize

00:15:24.240 any impact they have.

00:15:26.040 So part of my critics

00:15:27.680 are saying

00:15:28.320 hey cartoon boy

00:15:30.120 go draw Garfield,

00:15:32.780 which of course

00:15:33.740 I don't draw.

00:15:35.440 And the point of it

00:15:36.680 is that

00:15:37.240 I have no influence

00:15:40.260 on anything,

00:15:41.080 I'm just a cartoonist

00:15:42.100 and so I should

00:15:43.360 be dismissed.

00:15:44.340 You've seen those,

00:15:45.060 right?

00:15:45.360 Some of you

00:15:45.700 following me on Twitter.

00:15:47.060 And there's a lot

00:15:47.840 of those.

00:15:48.920 At the same time

00:15:49.780 that my critics

00:15:50.520 are telling me

00:15:51.120 that I'm

00:15:51.940 toothless

00:15:54.740 and over the hill

00:15:55.880 and irrelevant,

00:15:58.040 I got

00:15:59.140 an excited comment

00:16:00.580 from this guy,

00:16:02.800 what's his name?

00:16:04.780 Schwab.

00:16:07.540 Walter,

00:16:08.440 no,

00:16:08.900 Schaub.

00:16:09.920 Walter Schaub.

00:16:11.260 And he's

00:16:12.060 a senior ethics fellow

00:16:13.740 and a former director

00:16:15.700 of the Office

00:16:16.520 of Government Ethics.

00:16:17.580 So he was

00:16:20.500 quite concerned.

00:16:21.880 This is what he said

00:16:22.760 about my statement

00:16:23.780 that Time's Up.

00:16:26.000 He said,

00:16:26.840 you're trying to

00:16:27.380 incite violence,

00:16:28.580 but you're too much

00:16:30.660 of a coward

00:16:31.160 to say it.

00:16:32.220 You'll hint and hint

00:16:33.340 and then when

00:16:34.340 the violence starts,

00:16:35.700 you'll pretend

00:16:36.340 to condemn it.

00:16:37.880 That's cowardice.

00:16:39.320 No need to argue,

00:16:40.600 just embrace

00:16:41.260 the cowardice.

00:16:42.580 To which I say,

00:16:43.420 would it be cowardice

00:16:46.380 to incite a revolution

00:16:47.700 in public?

00:16:50.260 I feel like

00:16:51.280 the word coward

00:16:52.780 doesn't mean

00:16:53.480 what it used to mean.

00:16:57.200 Because I'm not

00:16:58.040 exactly hiding,

00:16:59.820 am I?

00:17:01.380 So what kind

00:17:02.600 of weird accusation

00:17:04.460 is it that I'm

00:17:05.100 a coward?

00:17:06.560 So I tried

00:17:07.840 to explain

00:17:08.400 to him the following.

00:17:09.880 I tried to explain

00:17:11.120 that the implied

00:17:14.480 risk of violence

00:17:15.600 is what makes

00:17:17.720 everything work.

00:17:20.080 Everything.

00:17:21.240 The reason

00:17:21.680 the legal system

00:17:22.900 works when it does,

00:17:24.500 you know,

00:17:24.820 the justice system,

00:17:26.100 is because

00:17:26.600 of the implied

00:17:27.220 threat of violence.

00:17:28.760 If you don't

00:17:29.300 go to court,

00:17:30.320 somebody with a gun

00:17:31.240 is going to go

00:17:32.040 get you.

00:17:33.580 The military

00:17:34.680 works because

00:17:35.620 of the implied

00:17:36.240 threat of violence

00:17:37.020 or actual violence.

00:17:39.000 And I would argue

00:17:39.840 that every human

00:17:40.640 interaction

00:17:41.380 with another man

00:17:42.660 is gated

00:17:45.760 by the threat

00:17:46.520 of violence.

00:17:47.600 Even if you don't

00:17:48.440 talk about it,

00:17:49.080 even if it's not

00:17:49.700 on your mind.

00:17:50.820 And somebody

00:17:51.300 complained to me

00:17:53.180 and said,

00:17:53.920 Scott,

00:17:54.360 Scott,

00:17:54.620 Scott,

00:17:55.580 when I talk

00:17:56.400 to my father,

00:17:58.280 I'm not

00:17:59.320 concerned about

00:18:01.040 violence.

00:18:03.560 To which I say,

00:18:05.080 really?

00:18:06.380 Try pulling

00:18:07.740 your father's

00:18:08.320 pants off 0.81

00:18:08.820 and shoving 1.00

00:18:09.460 your fingers

00:18:09.900 up his ass. 0.99

00:18:12.700 Does he

00:18:13.280 complain or

00:18:13.840 does he

00:18:14.080 hit you?

00:18:15.500 No,

00:18:15.980 he hits you.

00:18:17.240 Because all

00:18:18.140 of the things

00:18:18.620 that you're

00:18:18.960 allowed to do

00:18:19.720 are the things

00:18:20.320 that your father

00:18:20.840 allows you to do

00:18:21.840 before he's

00:18:23.060 willing to

00:18:23.560 punch the 0.99

00:18:24.000 shit out of

00:18:24.460 you.

00:18:25.460 You are

00:18:25.980 always,

00:18:26.840 always gated

00:18:28.160 in your actions

00:18:28.920 by the implied

00:18:30.500 threat of

00:18:31.040 violence.

00:18:32.400 This is no

00:18:33.160 different.

00:18:34.240 This is just

00:18:34.780 business as

00:18:35.360 usual.

00:18:35.680 Am I

00:18:36.640 inciting

00:18:37.380 violence?

00:18:39.060 No.

00:18:40.400 No.

00:18:42.360 I'm simply

00:18:43.120 saying that

00:18:43.580 all options

00:18:44.180 are on the

00:18:44.600 table because

00:18:46.080 they always

00:18:46.540 are.

00:18:47.720 If you say

00:18:48.440 all options

00:18:49.020 are on the

00:18:49.360 table,

00:18:49.780 are you

00:18:50.020 saying go

00:18:50.560 be violent?

00:18:51.220 No.

00:18:51.500 You're just

00:18:51.800 saying it's

00:18:52.660 always there.

00:18:54.360 Not only is

00:18:55.120 it always

00:18:55.440 there,

00:18:55.760 I couldn't

00:18:56.140 take it

00:18:56.460 back if I

00:18:56.960 wanted to.

00:18:58.200 Could I

00:18:58.700 remove my

00:19:00.140 threat of

00:19:00.640 violence if

00:19:02.140 I wanted

00:19:02.560 to?

00:19:03.840 No.

00:19:05.100 You could

00:19:05.480 not.

00:19:05.880 It's not

00:19:06.280 removable.

00:19:07.780 Why?

00:19:09.940 Because if

00:19:10.600 you piss me

00:19:11.140 off enough,

00:19:12.040 I'm going

00:19:12.640 to be

00:19:12.860 violent.

00:19:15.200 There's no,

00:19:16.020 you can't

00:19:16.400 take that

00:19:16.740 back.

00:19:17.700 What am I

00:19:18.180 going to

00:19:18.340 do,

00:19:18.460 change my

00:19:18.960 nature?

00:19:21.260 I'm

00:19:21.700 born this

00:19:22.180 way.

00:19:23.620 And I

00:19:24.240 would think

00:19:24.600 that almost

00:19:25.240 all of you

00:19:25.920 are born

00:19:26.260 the same

00:19:26.640 way.

00:19:27.220 Yeah,

00:19:27.380 Jordan

00:19:27.640 Peterson

00:19:28.000 does a

00:19:28.540 much better

00:19:28.940 job of

00:19:29.520 explaining

00:19:30.060 this point

00:19:30.700 of view.

00:19:31.620 So I'm

00:19:32.460 not,

00:19:32.620 copying his

00:19:34.080 point of

00:19:34.480 view,

00:19:35.160 but I'm

00:19:35.840 inspired by

00:19:36.600 it.

00:19:36.820 So don't

00:19:37.240 blame him

00:19:37.780 if I say

00:19:38.300 something he

00:19:38.840 doesn't say.

00:19:39.580 That's all.

00:19:40.920 But he

00:19:41.320 is my

00:19:42.460 influence in

00:19:43.060 this point

00:19:43.700 of view.

00:19:47.300 So,

00:19:48.220 here's what I

00:19:49.660 think about

00:19:50.100 the risk of

00:19:50.880 an armed

00:19:51.560 revolution.

00:19:54.120 No way.

00:19:55.460 We're not

00:19:55.820 even close.

00:19:57.400 You can

00:19:58.000 completely

00:19:58.580 stop worrying

00:19:59.340 about it,

00:19:59.900 in my

00:20:00.180 opinion.

00:20:01.080 But,

00:20:01.520 is it

00:20:02.740 useful

00:20:03.140 that people

00:20:04.920 who might

00:20:05.720 want to

00:20:06.080 try to

00:20:06.400 push the

00:20:07.080 boundaries

00:20:07.480 of your

00:20:08.240 flexibility,

00:20:10.480 is it

00:20:10.900 useful that

00:20:11.500 they know

00:20:11.880 it's always

00:20:12.300 there?

00:20:13.640 I think

00:20:14.300 it is.

00:20:15.400 I think

00:20:15.940 it's useful

00:20:16.420 to know

00:20:16.820 that there

00:20:17.160 is a

00:20:17.520 line,

00:20:18.600 and that

00:20:18.980 if you

00:20:19.260 cross it,

00:20:19.900 there will

00:20:20.340 be violence.

00:20:22.160 Now,

00:20:22.660 I don't

00:20:22.900 think that

00:20:23.260 line has

00:20:23.660 been crossed.

00:20:24.940 That's my

00:20:25.540 opinion.

00:20:26.420 And I

00:20:26.760 don't think

00:20:27.040 it's close.

00:20:27.980 I don't

00:20:28.280 think it's a

00:20:28.660 close call.

00:20:30.520 But,

00:20:31.280 it's always

00:20:31.940 there,

00:20:32.840 and I'm

00:20:33.720 not going

00:20:34.020 to apologize

00:20:34.500 for it,

00:20:35.180 and I'm

00:20:35.420 not going

00:20:35.700 to take

00:20:36.000 it back.

00:20:37.700 Here's a

00:20:38.460 little advice.

00:20:40.280 Much of

00:20:40.740 my audience

00:20:41.520 is conservative

00:20:42.480 and Republican.

00:20:43.880 Let me give

00:20:44.560 some advice

00:20:45.160 to any

00:20:45.940 Democrats

00:20:46.580 who might

00:20:46.960 have wandered

00:20:47.460 in.

00:20:49.440 If the

00:20:50.120 Republicans

00:20:50.540 and the

00:20:51.260 conservatives

00:20:51.720 are still

00:20:52.380 complaining,

00:20:53.760 you're fine.

00:20:54.280 you're

00:20:56.320 fine.

00:20:57.000 As long

00:20:57.500 as you

00:20:57.700 hear the

00:20:57.960 Republicans

00:20:58.380 and

00:20:58.740 conservatives

00:20:59.200 just yap,

00:20:59.860 yap,

00:21:00.120 yap,

00:21:00.380 yap,

00:21:01.140 complain, 0.54

00:21:01.940 complain, 0.54

00:21:02.680 complain, 0.54

00:21:03.580 you're

00:21:03.860 fine.

00:21:04.260 There's

00:21:04.420 not going

00:21:04.680 to be

00:21:04.780 any

00:21:04.940 revolution.

00:21:06.200 Do you

00:21:06.380 know when

00:21:06.660 you should

00:21:06.940 worry?

00:21:08.980 Does

00:21:09.160 anybody

00:21:09.620 want to

00:21:10.020 fill in

00:21:10.340 the rest

00:21:10.640 of the

00:21:10.840 sentence?

00:21:12.000 Tell the

00:21:12.560 Democrats

00:21:12.980 when they

00:21:13.340 should

00:21:13.480 worry.

00:21:17.620 When

00:21:18.100 the talking

00:21:18.540 stops.

00:21:20.700 Yeah.

00:21:21.920 When the

00:21:22.540 talking

00:21:22.860 stops,

00:21:23.380 you better

00:21:24.360 fucking

00:21:24.780 hide.

00:21:27.280 Or join

00:21:28.780 the team

00:21:29.120 that has

00:21:29.400 all the

00:21:29.680 guns.

00:21:30.460 Because if

00:21:30.900 the talking

00:21:31.380 stops,

00:21:32.980 that's when

00:21:33.620 I'd get

00:21:33.980 fucking

00:21:34.340 worried.

00:21:36.180 But we're

00:21:36.700 nowhere near

00:21:37.100 that.

00:21:37.880 We're not

00:21:38.280 even close

00:21:38.840 to that.

00:21:39.480 We're not

00:21:39.880 in the

00:21:40.080 same solar

00:21:40.840 system as

00:21:42.060 anything like

00:21:42.640 that.

00:21:43.520 But let's

00:21:44.020 be adults

00:21:45.340 about it.

00:21:46.920 The adult

00:21:47.520 opinion is

00:21:48.240 that violence

00:21:48.760 is always

00:21:49.580 an option.

00:21:51.160 And if

00:21:51.620 you want to

00:21:51.940 take the

00:21:52.280 child view,

00:21:53.380 that you

00:21:53.680 can take

00:21:54.120 violence

00:21:54.760 out of

00:21:55.360 civilization

00:21:55.960 and still

00:21:56.540 make it

00:21:56.880 work,

00:21:57.800 explain to

00:21:58.440 me how

00:21:58.680 that works.

00:22:00.240 Explain to

00:22:00.780 me how

00:22:01.020 well San

00:22:01.480 Francisco is

00:22:02.140 working when

00:22:03.160 the threat

00:22:03.740 of jail

00:22:04.940 has gone

00:22:05.360 away.

00:22:06.280 You know,

00:22:06.460 jail is a

00:22:06.920 form of

00:22:07.260 violence.

00:22:07.840 I would

00:22:08.260 argue that

00:22:08.640 jail is

00:22:09.180 violence.

00:22:10.260 It's just

00:22:10.680 a different

00:22:11.020 kind.

00:22:13.580 All right?

00:22:14.220 So let's

00:22:16.060 be clear

00:22:16.580 that we live

00:22:18.300 in a civilization

00:22:18.980 where even

00:22:19.740 if it was

00:22:20.260 your best

00:22:20.720 intention to

00:22:21.480 remove all

00:22:22.420 threat of

00:22:23.480 violence from

00:22:24.100 civilization,

00:22:25.020 you wouldn't

00:22:25.720 do it if

00:22:26.140 you could

00:22:26.540 because everything

00:22:27.720 would fall

00:22:28.080 apart.

00:22:30.780 All right.

00:22:32.860 So what

00:22:34.940 do you do

00:22:35.220 about it?

00:22:36.420 Let me ask

00:22:37.120 you.

00:22:38.320 Do you think

00:22:39.040 one person

00:22:39.600 could make a

00:22:40.120 difference on

00:22:42.720 this topic?

00:22:43.960 Now,

00:22:44.340 obviously,

00:22:44.840 if it's Trump,

00:22:45.360 he makes a

00:22:45.800 difference.

00:22:46.480 Duh.

00:22:46.700 But do

00:22:48.400 you think

00:22:48.680 that one

00:22:49.020 person in

00:22:49.560 the public

00:22:50.360 who is not

00:22:51.520 elected could

00:22:52.860 make a

00:22:53.200 difference?

00:23:00.580 Probably.

00:23:01.680 In my

00:23:02.300 opinion,

00:23:02.700 one person

00:23:03.260 is the only

00:23:03.760 thing that

00:23:04.080 makes a

00:23:04.380 difference.

00:23:05.660 So I

00:23:06.020 think that

00:23:06.340 old saying

00:23:06.860 is, you

00:23:07.380 know,

00:23:07.540 the idea

00:23:08.060 that one

00:23:08.460 person can't

00:23:09.060 make a

00:23:09.360 difference is

00:23:11.280 almost as

00:23:12.240 completely wrong

00:23:13.100 as anything

00:23:13.560 ever has

00:23:14.160 been.

00:23:15.000 I mean,

00:23:15.320 I would

00:23:15.760 argue that

00:23:16.200 Steve Jobs

00:23:17.000 made Apple

00:23:18.000 even though

00:23:19.660 everybody

00:23:20.200 worked on

00:23:21.200 the same

00:23:21.440 projects and

00:23:22.040 stuff.

00:23:22.980 But everything

00:23:24.200 is just one

00:23:24.800 person.

00:23:25.700 Gets something

00:23:26.180 going and

00:23:26.700 then it

00:23:26.940 picks up

00:23:27.280 steam or

00:23:27.660 it doesn't.

00:23:31.800 Jesus is

00:23:33.020 an example.

00:23:34.180 I saw some

00:23:34.760 examples like

00:23:35.500 Mohammed,

00:23:36.840 Jesus,

00:23:37.360 and George

00:23:38.240 Soros. 0.78

00:23:40.340 Elon Musk,

00:23:41.100 yeah.

00:23:41.580 Elon Musk

00:23:42.180 can make a

00:23:42.640 difference.

00:23:43.260 So yeah,

00:23:43.560 there's all

00:23:44.060 kinds of

00:23:44.400 examples where

00:23:45.020 one person

00:23:45.520 can make a

00:23:45.980 difference.

00:23:49.780 How many

00:23:50.420 of you think

00:23:50.960 some kind

00:23:51.440 of a big

00:23:53.120 national

00:23:53.600 breakup is

00:23:54.360 coming?

00:23:56.120 Like an

00:23:56.720 actual armed

00:23:57.460 revolution?

00:23:58.420 Is there

00:23:58.660 anybody here

00:23:59.080 who thinks

00:23:59.400 that's actually

00:24:00.040 like a

00:24:00.940 risk?

00:24:02.340 It really

00:24:03.000 isn't.

00:24:04.340 It really

00:24:04.660 isn't.

00:24:06.240 But have I

00:24:07.860 ever told you

00:24:08.520 that the best

00:24:09.120 way to look

00:24:09.620 at life is

00:24:10.460 energy?

00:24:12.540 You know,

00:24:12.780 watch where

00:24:13.240 the energy

00:24:13.720 goes.

00:24:14.120 the worst

00:24:15.620 way to

00:24:16.000 understand

00:24:16.420 anything

00:24:16.880 is to

00:24:17.920 look at

00:24:18.240 the logic.

00:24:20.500 That's another

00:24:21.180 way to tell

00:24:21.620 you the

00:24:21.860 things I've

00:24:22.200 been telling

00:24:22.500 you forever.

00:24:23.700 If you

00:24:24.700 want to

00:24:24.980 understand

00:24:25.420 what's

00:24:25.820 going to

00:24:26.060 happen

00:24:26.280 next,

00:24:27.380 or even

00:24:28.160 understand

00:24:28.620 what's

00:24:28.880 happening

00:24:29.160 now,

00:24:29.920 the last

00:24:30.800 thing you

00:24:31.100 want to

00:24:31.300 look at

00:24:31.600 is the

00:24:31.960 rational

00:24:32.500 explanation

00:24:33.760 of it.

00:24:35.240 What you

00:24:35.740 want to

00:24:35.960 look for

00:24:36.280 is the

00:24:36.540 energy.

00:24:37.980 Because if

00:24:38.460 the energy

00:24:38.920 builds up

00:24:39.480 somewhere,

00:24:39.860 it's got to

00:24:40.200 go somewhere.

00:24:40.980 Energy

00:24:41.240 doesn't

00:24:41.600 disappear.

00:24:42.740 If there's

00:24:43.140 one thing

00:24:43.500 we know,

00:24:44.560 energy goes

00:24:45.500 somewhere.

00:24:46.600 You're either

00:24:47.220 going to

00:24:47.660 bring it

00:24:48.580 into your

00:24:48.940 body and

00:24:50.020 make yourself

00:24:50.540 sick with

00:24:51.160 stress,

00:24:52.160 or you're

00:24:52.900 going to

00:24:53.060 put it

00:24:53.420 into the

00:24:53.740 world and

00:24:54.260 maybe get

00:24:54.940 yourself

00:24:55.260 beaten up.

00:24:56.620 But it's

00:24:57.200 going somewhere.

00:24:59.080 Where's it

00:24:59.500 going to

00:24:59.700 go?

00:25:00.620 See,

00:25:00.920 the trouble

00:25:01.200 is this

00:25:01.620 FBI raid

00:25:02.360 on Trump

00:25:02.940 gave more

00:25:05.260 energy to

00:25:05.860 an energy

00:25:06.320 monster.

00:25:07.280 Trump eats

00:25:08.200 energy.

00:25:09.080 It's making

00:25:09.700 him stronger,

00:25:10.300 and there's

00:25:10.760 no question

00:25:11.280 about it

00:25:11.680 at this

00:25:11.980 point.

00:25:12.760 Even the

00:25:13.620 left is

00:25:15.320 saying it

00:25:15.800 directly,

00:25:17.120 uh-oh,

00:25:18.240 I think

00:25:18.640 this makes

00:25:19.080 him stronger.

00:25:20.640 Because it

00:25:21.320 does.

00:25:22.000 And he's

00:25:22.460 playing it

00:25:22.840 perfectly,

00:25:23.380 by the way.

00:25:24.020 The entire

00:25:24.520 Trump family

00:25:25.240 is playing

00:25:26.580 the story

00:25:27.180 perfectly.

00:25:28.740 They really

00:25:29.240 are.

00:25:29.840 And that

00:25:30.160 whole thing

00:25:30.560 about Melania's

00:25:31.700 closet,

00:25:33.080 well,

00:25:33.340 that didn't

00:25:33.660 come from

00:25:34.040 the FBI.

00:25:36.580 Whoever

00:25:37.100 started talking

00:25:37.820 about Melania's

00:25:38.780 closet,

00:25:39.200 I have a

00:25:42.100 feeling that

00:25:42.640 what you'd

00:25:43.040 really find

00:25:43.720 out is

00:25:44.780 that there

00:25:45.060 might be a

00:25:46.400 safe in

00:25:46.980 the same

00:25:47.340 closet.

00:25:48.780 Because that's

00:25:49.500 not an

00:25:49.960 uncommon place

00:25:50.740 to put a

00:25:51.140 safe.

00:25:51.920 In a

00:25:52.200 closet.

00:25:53.320 Am I

00:25:53.640 wrong?

00:25:56.080 Does anybody

00:25:56.900 have a safe

00:25:58.840 in a closet?

00:25:59.940 Like a

00:26:00.400 master closet?

00:26:01.500 It's fairly

00:26:01.960 common,

00:26:02.780 right?

00:26:03.020 Jewelry,

00:26:03.720 et cetera.

00:26:04.880 Yeah.

00:26:05.400 So my

00:26:05.840 guess is,

00:26:06.700 my guess is

00:26:07.600 that we'll

00:26:07.880 find out

00:26:08.340 later that

00:26:09.240 they were

00:26:09.580 not rummaging

00:26:10.280 through her

00:26:11.020 underwear drawer.

00:26:12.940 I don't

00:26:13.360 think.

00:26:14.400 Maybe.

00:26:15.240 But I don't

00:26:15.640 think so.

00:26:16.200 I think they're

00:26:16.720 going to find

00:26:17.020 out they

00:26:17.380 went into

00:26:17.780 rooms that

00:26:18.640 there might

00:26:19.480 have been

00:26:19.820 some storage.

00:26:21.120 And that's

00:26:21.380 probably it.

00:26:23.460 But the

00:26:24.760 Trump family

00:26:25.340 is playing it

00:26:25.900 perfectly.

00:26:26.420 Because as

00:26:27.040 soon as you

00:26:27.420 throw in that

00:26:27.960 cross-dressing

00:26:28.940 Edgar J.

00:26:30.460 Hoover,

00:26:31.440 like in your

00:26:32.060 mind suddenly

00:26:32.800 the FBI agents

00:26:34.100 are wearing

00:26:34.560 women's clothing.

00:26:35.280 You tell me

00:26:37.960 you did not

00:26:38.540 imagine the

00:26:39.640 FBI agents

00:26:40.580 wearing women's

00:26:41.420 clothing.

00:26:42.520 You did.

00:26:43.620 You imagined

00:26:44.440 the FBI agents,

00:26:45.840 the men,

00:26:47.000 trying on

00:26:47.880 Melania's 0.70

00:26:48.520 dresses.

00:26:49.460 It's the most

00:26:50.200 visual persuasion

00:26:51.360 of all time.

00:26:53.540 You know,

00:26:53.760 I told you that

00:26:54.460 Trump saying

00:26:55.160 build the wall

00:26:56.060 was good

00:26:56.720 persuasion.

00:26:58.140 Because the

00:26:58.500 wall is a,

00:26:59.400 even in your

00:27:00.200 mind,

00:27:00.720 it's a visual.

00:27:03.100 But there is

00:27:03.800 nothing more

00:27:04.420 visual,

00:27:04.820 than FBI

00:27:06.280 agents trying

00:27:07.140 on Melania's

00:27:07.940 dresses.

00:27:08.760 Now it

00:27:09.060 didn't happen,

00:27:10.120 but your

00:27:10.460 mind can't

00:27:11.180 help it. 0.77

00:27:12.060 You just

00:27:12.400 can't help

00:27:12.880 it.

00:27:13.320 You just

00:27:13.720 put those

00:27:14.100 things together.

00:27:15.360 I'm sorry,

00:27:15.940 I can't help

00:27:16.380 seeing it.

00:27:17.100 And of

00:27:17.340 course,

00:27:17.760 Don Jr.

00:27:19.220 helpfully has,

00:27:20.760 he helpfully

00:27:21.700 tweeted a

00:27:23.180 meme that

00:27:23.920 shows those

00:27:24.620 alleged FBI

00:27:26.660 plants in

00:27:27.900 some earlier

00:27:28.680 protest,

00:27:29.420 but they're

00:27:29.800 dressed in

00:27:30.460 women's

00:27:30.860 clothing.

00:27:32.680 It's a

00:27:33.060 pretty good

00:27:33.340 meme.

00:27:33.540 Yeah,

00:27:34.420 and then

00:27:34.640 you add

00:27:34.900 the J.

00:27:35.320 Edgar

00:27:35.480 Hoover

00:27:35.800 allegation

00:27:36.440 that he

00:27:36.720 liked to

00:27:37.080 dress in

00:27:37.420 women's

00:27:37.820 clothing.

00:27:38.720 Not that

00:27:39.180 there's

00:27:39.380 anything wrong

00:27:39.860 with that,

00:27:40.620 by modern

00:27:41.440 standards,

00:27:42.800 but it

00:27:45.040 all makes

00:27:45.720 the story

00:27:46.140 conflate in

00:27:47.080 your mind.

00:27:48.240 So,

00:27:49.720 I would

00:27:51.580 say that

00:27:52.060 the Trump

00:27:53.600 benefit from

00:27:55.120 this is so

00:27:56.040 obvious and

00:27:56.840 strong that

00:27:58.600 it makes you

00:27:59.340 wonder if

00:28:00.220 there isn't

00:28:01.800 something else

00:28:02.440 to this

00:28:02.800 story.

00:28:05.620 Let's see,

00:28:06.440 is there

00:28:06.600 something else

00:28:07.140 to the

00:28:07.480 story?

00:28:08.520 Oh,

00:28:08.840 it seems

00:28:09.220 that there

00:28:10.560 was some

00:28:10.880 kind of

00:28:11.280 insider that

00:28:12.100 the FBI

00:28:12.720 had inside

00:28:14.660 Mar-a-Lago

00:28:15.240 who had

00:28:16.320 given them

00:28:16.780 information

00:28:17.320 about what

00:28:18.460 alleged

00:28:19.280 confidential

00:28:20.560 documents

00:28:21.140 were there,

00:28:22.800 allegedly

00:28:23.160 hidden from

00:28:25.420 whoever,

00:28:26.560 and

00:28:27.760 allegedly

00:28:28.500 where to

00:28:28.920 get them.

00:28:30.460 And they're

00:28:30.980 referring to

00:28:31.600 this person,

00:28:32.680 have you heard

00:28:33.540 what they

00:28:33.900 refer to

00:28:34.420 this person,

00:28:35.060 this insider?

00:28:37.520 What do

00:28:38.000 they call

00:28:38.320 this insider?

00:28:39.220 There's another

00:28:39.580 word they're

00:28:40.040 using.

00:28:41.560 The mole.

00:28:44.520 The mole.

00:28:49.000 The mole.

00:28:52.560 Let me

00:28:53.280 wind you

00:28:54.120 back in

00:28:54.580 the way

00:28:54.900 back machine.

00:28:56.560 to roughly

00:28:59.620 2016 or

00:29:02.320 17.

00:29:04.480 When

00:29:05.120 the Hillary

00:29:06.600 Clinton

00:29:07.020 campaign was

00:29:08.120 so incompetent

00:29:09.160 in their

00:29:09.520 messaging and

00:29:10.280 their sloganeering

00:29:11.180 that I

00:29:12.520 suggested there

00:29:13.340 might be

00:29:13.860 a mole

00:29:15.660 working for

00:29:17.160 the Clinton

00:29:18.480 campaign who

00:29:19.900 was pretending

00:29:20.780 to be on

00:29:21.340 their side,

00:29:22.520 but always

00:29:23.100 giving them

00:29:23.580 bad suggestions.

00:29:24.440 for example,

00:29:27.480 you remember

00:29:27.760 Hillary Clinton

00:29:28.540 had the

00:29:29.780 slogan,

00:29:30.880 it's her

00:29:31.540 turn?

00:29:33.100 Now,

00:29:33.620 does that

00:29:34.040 sound like

00:29:34.460 somebody who

00:29:35.100 was really

00:29:35.460 on her

00:29:35.840 side came

00:29:36.520 up with

00:29:36.840 that?

00:29:37.500 It

00:29:37.800 doesn't,

00:29:38.200 does it?

00:29:38.780 It sounds

00:29:39.260 exactly like

00:29:40.000 a prank.

00:29:41.240 It sounded

00:29:41.580 like there

00:29:41.960 was a mole

00:29:42.460 who was in

00:29:43.320 the room

00:29:43.640 and said,

00:29:44.200 I got an

00:29:44.940 idea.

00:29:45.180 You know

00:29:47.460 what they're

00:29:47.720 really going

00:29:48.100 to like?

00:29:49.200 They're going

00:29:49.680 to like if

00:29:50.260 they say

00:29:50.640 your gender

00:29:51.280 is what

00:29:51.740 makes you

00:29:52.400 get elected.

00:29:54.160 Try,

00:29:54.800 it's her

00:29:55.280 turn.

00:29:57.400 That will

00:29:58.300 go over

00:29:58.720 well.

00:29:59.460 People love

00:29:59.880 to hear

00:30:00.280 that it's

00:30:01.240 just your

00:30:01.600 turn.

00:30:02.440 They don't

00:30:03.140 want to

00:30:03.460 hear what

00:30:04.000 you can

00:30:04.360 do for

00:30:04.680 the country

00:30:05.160 or why

00:30:05.620 you're

00:30:05.780 better than

00:30:06.120 the other

00:30:06.400 candidate.

00:30:07.200 They just

00:30:07.720 need to

00:30:08.020 know it's

00:30:08.340 your turn

00:30:08.720 because you're

00:30:09.060 a woman.

00:30:10.100 Try that.

00:30:11.440 Now,

00:30:11.820 you tell me

00:30:12.420 that that

00:30:13.060 doesn't sound

00:30:13.560 exactly like

00:30:14.300 it was a

00:30:14.640 prank.

00:30:15.960 I can't

00:30:16.600 even imagine

00:30:17.340 the room

00:30:18.060 where they

00:30:18.500 thought that

00:30:18.860 was a good

00:30:19.280 idea unless

00:30:20.340 somebody had

00:30:20.800 led them

00:30:21.220 to it in

00:30:21.720 a malicious

00:30:22.900 way.

00:30:25.240 So,

00:30:25.900 now we

00:30:26.340 hear that

00:30:27.440 the mole

00:30:28.600 was at

00:30:33.560 Mar-a-Lago

00:30:34.180 and told

00:30:36.620 the FBI

00:30:37.200 exactly where

00:30:38.220 to look

00:30:38.760 for the

00:30:40.380 hidden

00:30:40.620 documents.

00:30:41.320 let's

00:30:44.860 put two

00:30:45.860 and two

00:30:46.160 together

00:30:46.540 here.

00:30:48.360 If it

00:30:49.020 comes out,

00:30:49.860 if it

00:30:50.460 turns out

00:30:50.880 that the

00:30:51.200 FBI did

00:30:52.180 get

00:30:53.160 documents

00:30:53.900 that are

00:30:54.520 damning

00:30:55.160 in some

00:30:55.640 way,

00:30:56.960 what would

00:30:57.560 we say

00:30:57.900 about the

00:30:58.300 story

00:30:58.520 afterwards?

00:30:59.760 We'd say,

00:31:00.340 well,

00:31:00.480 that mole

00:31:01.020 certainly did

00:31:02.340 not like

00:31:02.820 Donald Trump,

00:31:03.600 that's for

00:31:04.000 sure.

00:31:04.800 That was a

00:31:05.440 mole who

00:31:05.940 did not

00:31:06.440 like that

00:31:06.980 president.

00:31:08.680 That's what

00:31:09.260 I'd say.

00:31:09.600 good job,

00:31:11.220 mole.

00:31:12.140 You

00:31:12.540 mulled

00:31:12.980 just right.

00:31:14.780 But,

00:31:15.780 suppose,

00:31:16.980 just

00:31:17.260 hypothetically,

00:31:18.900 suppose that

00:31:19.520 the FBI

00:31:20.000 ended up

00:31:20.560 with no

00:31:21.080 documents of

00:31:21.820 any

00:31:22.020 consequence

00:31:22.600 whatsoever,

00:31:23.620 except maybe

00:31:24.220 some technical

00:31:25.220 violation of

00:31:26.280 handling

00:31:27.040 documents.

00:31:28.420 Suppose

00:31:28.740 there's a

00:31:29.400 whole big

00:31:30.000 nothing.

00:31:32.080 What would

00:31:32.540 you say

00:31:32.860 then about

00:31:33.420 the mole?

00:31:36.000 Whose

00:31:36.620 team would

00:31:37.280 you assume

00:31:37.800 the mole

00:31:39.260 was on?

00:31:42.020 Because this

00:31:42.820 is working

00:31:43.200 out really

00:31:43.740 well for

00:31:44.340 Trump in

00:31:45.320 a way

00:31:45.600 that's hard

00:31:46.100 to ignore.

00:31:47.880 Am I

00:31:48.300 right?

00:31:51.740 So I'm

00:31:52.380 not going

00:31:52.680 to allege,

00:31:53.680 I do not

00:31:54.300 allege,

00:31:54.860 that the

00:31:55.280 mole is

00:31:56.680 like the

00:31:57.600 real mole,

00:31:58.400 somebody who's

00:31:59.000 actually working

00:31:59.920 for Trump

00:32:01.060 as opposed

00:32:01.500 to against.

00:32:03.480 But I

00:32:04.440 will simply

00:32:04.940 point out

00:32:05.620 that the

00:32:07.480 outcome looks

00:32:08.260 exactly like

00:32:09.120 something a

00:32:09.700 mole would

00:32:10.100 do.

00:32:11.240 Now, do

00:32:12.040 you remember

00:32:12.360 my prediction?

00:32:13.220 Did some

00:32:13.540 of you see

00:32:13.920 my prediction

00:32:14.440 early on

00:32:15.240 in the

00:32:15.960 48-hour

00:32:16.660 period after

00:32:17.460 the raid?

00:32:18.780 Did anybody

00:32:19.220 see my tweet

00:32:19.960 in which I

00:32:20.920 said,

00:32:21.480 the search

00:32:22.440 for an

00:32:22.960 underling

00:32:23.500 to blame

00:32:24.200 has begun?

00:32:24.860 And here

00:32:28.700 we are.

00:32:31.000 So as of

00:32:31.720 today,

00:32:32.360 MSNBC,

00:32:34.000 the news

00:32:35.080 entity you

00:32:35.920 associate most

00:32:37.000 closely with,

00:32:37.880 owned by the

00:32:38.920 Democrats,

00:32:40.180 they explained

00:32:41.740 that Garland,

00:32:44.780 who is a

00:32:45.560 Democrat,

00:32:47.540 so Garland,

00:32:48.400 the head of

00:32:48.680 the Department

00:32:49.020 of Justice,

00:32:49.740 a Democrat,

00:32:50.660 they say he

00:32:51.180 didn't know

00:32:51.480 anything about

00:32:51.980 it.

00:32:52.160 So the

00:32:53.660 Democrat,

00:32:54.400 who was in

00:32:54.920 charge,

00:32:55.600 didn't know

00:32:55.900 anything about

00:32:56.280 it.

00:32:56.820 How about

00:32:57.160 the White

00:32:57.480 House?

00:32:58.400 Didn't know

00:32:58.760 anything about

00:32:59.200 it.

00:32:59.960 No, that's

00:33:01.140 the way it's

00:33:01.460 supposed to

00:33:01.860 work.

00:33:02.400 They're not

00:33:02.900 supposed to

00:33:03.420 tell the

00:33:03.760 White House.

00:33:04.980 Right.

00:33:05.620 They didn't

00:33:06.180 tell the

00:33:06.520 White House

00:33:06.940 they were

00:33:07.860 going to

00:33:08.120 raid Trump.

00:33:09.940 Now, I do

00:33:10.660 understand that

00:33:11.360 you're not

00:33:11.720 supposed to

00:33:12.100 tell the

00:33:12.520 White House

00:33:13.100 in general,

00:33:13.900 but they

00:33:16.860 raided Trump.

00:33:19.180 That's not

00:33:20.140 business as

00:33:20.760 usual.

00:33:22.020 So maybe

00:33:22.680 they didn't

00:33:23.060 tell the

00:33:23.380 White House.

00:33:23.940 It is

00:33:24.240 possible.

00:33:26.460 Do you

00:33:26.980 know who

00:33:27.260 they decided

00:33:27.840 is the one

00:33:28.340 they're going

00:33:28.620 to pin it

00:33:29.420 on?

00:33:31.180 Christopher

00:33:31.580 Wray.

00:33:32.600 Do you

00:33:32.820 know why?

00:33:34.280 He was

00:33:34.640 appointed by

00:33:35.200 Trump.

00:33:36.800 And do you

00:33:37.360 know what

00:33:37.600 the Christopher

00:33:38.260 Wray

00:33:38.620 excuse is

00:33:39.420 going to

00:33:39.660 be?

00:33:41.180 Because you

00:33:41.680 know it's

00:33:42.000 coming.

00:33:42.900 Do you

00:33:43.120 know what

00:33:43.320 it's

00:33:43.440 going to

00:33:43.600 be?

00:33:43.900 It was

00:33:45.260 more like

00:33:45.780 a bureaucratic

00:33:47.160 mess-up.

00:33:50.040 Because what

00:33:50.760 the FBI

00:33:51.240 wanted to

00:33:51.860 do was

00:33:52.880 to make

00:33:53.220 it the

00:33:53.700 lowest

00:33:54.160 profile

00:33:54.940 action

00:33:55.480 they

00:33:55.720 could,

00:33:57.220 you know,

00:33:57.400 get there

00:33:57.780 early in

00:33:58.160 the morning

00:33:58.560 and then

00:33:59.120 be gone.

00:34:00.680 And if

00:34:01.340 they had

00:34:01.640 done it

00:34:02.000 at a

00:34:02.320 low-key,

00:34:03.900 you wouldn't

00:34:04.860 have even

00:34:05.180 noticed.

00:34:06.100 Let me

00:34:06.600 suggest how

00:34:07.240 it could

00:34:07.680 have gone.

00:34:09.160 Keep in

00:34:09.660 mind that

00:34:10.720 Mar-a-Lago

00:34:11.300 was controlled

00:34:11.980 by the

00:34:12.360 Secret Service.

00:34:13.000 give me a

00:34:14.740 fact check,

00:34:15.260 but that's

00:34:15.540 true,

00:34:15.840 right?

00:34:16.680 Because

00:34:17.080 ex-presidents

00:34:17.800 get security.

00:34:19.260 So wouldn't

00:34:19.820 it be true 0.67

00:34:20.400 that Mar-a-Lago

00:34:21.840 is guarded

00:34:22.720 full-time

00:34:23.460 by Secret

00:34:24.200 Service,

00:34:24.740 right?

00:34:25.200 Now the

00:34:25.640 news is that

00:34:26.240 the Secret

00:34:26.640 Service was

00:34:27.240 of course the

00:34:27.840 first to be

00:34:28.660 alerted about

00:34:30.240 the FBI's

00:34:30.940 raid because

00:34:31.780 you want the

00:34:32.240 Secret Service

00:34:32.820 to be coordinating

00:34:34.100 and not be

00:34:35.220 surprised.

00:34:35.680 So we

00:34:40.220 know that

00:34:40.540 they

00:34:40.760 coordinated.

00:34:41.920 So now

00:34:42.220 tell yourself

00:34:42.860 what is the

00:34:43.760 least amount

00:34:45.020 of visibility

00:34:46.280 that the

00:34:46.980 FBI could

00:34:47.660 have applied

00:34:48.140 to this

00:34:48.540 if they

00:34:48.880 wanted to.

00:34:49.860 Remember,

00:34:51.280 Secret Service

00:34:51.940 already controls

00:34:53.440 the premise.

00:34:55.480 They already

00:34:56.200 control it.

00:34:57.500 So all you

00:34:58.120 have to do

00:34:58.460 is get them

00:34:59.000 on your

00:34:59.320 side and

00:35:00.380 you have

00:35:00.700 full access

00:35:01.360 as much

00:35:01.900 as you

00:35:02.120 want.

00:35:02.340 one FBI

00:35:05.340 agent and

00:35:06.020 one safe

00:35:06.520 cracker if

00:35:07.200 he even

00:35:07.480 needed a

00:35:07.860 safe cracker

00:35:08.480 because I

00:35:09.060 feel like

00:35:09.380 you could

00:35:09.640 have asked

00:35:10.080 for the

00:35:10.700 combination.

00:35:12.280 Doesn't it

00:35:12.760 work that

00:35:13.100 way?

00:35:13.780 If you

00:35:14.140 have a

00:35:14.440 warrant,

00:35:15.120 can't you

00:35:15.500 ask the

00:35:15.840 person who

00:35:16.240 knows the

00:35:16.540 combination

00:35:17.020 to just

00:35:17.480 open the

00:35:18.080 safe?

00:35:20.340 There might

00:35:20.860 have been

00:35:21.060 some stalling

00:35:21.860 so maybe

00:35:22.360 they just

00:35:22.800 bring the

00:35:23.140 safe cracker

00:35:23.740 because it's

00:35:24.140 easier.

00:35:25.180 So the

00:35:26.640 smallest number

00:35:27.340 of people

00:35:27.660 they could

00:35:27.980 have done

00:35:28.200 this with

00:35:28.560 is just

00:35:28.900 two.

00:35:30.360 Literally

00:35:30.740 just drive

00:35:31.340 up.

00:35:32.340 Two people

00:35:32.820 in the

00:35:33.080 car.

00:35:33.980 They don't

00:35:34.560 even have

00:35:34.860 to wear

00:35:35.040 special

00:35:35.440 jackets.

00:35:36.800 Two people

00:35:37.260 in the

00:35:37.480 car drive

00:35:38.040 up, talk

00:35:39.520 to the

00:35:40.180 secret service.

00:35:42.200 They say,

00:35:43.060 can you make

00:35:43.740 sure everything's

00:35:44.580 secure in

00:35:45.120 there?

00:35:46.180 And then

00:35:46.520 when you're

00:35:46.860 sure everything's

00:35:47.480 secure, we'd

00:35:48.880 like to go

00:35:49.300 in and we're

00:35:49.800 going to look

00:35:50.120 for these

00:35:50.520 three places.

00:35:52.020 Here's my

00:35:52.440 piece of

00:35:52.760 paper.

00:35:53.540 And then the

00:35:54.120 secret service

00:35:54.780 walks them to

00:35:55.660 the safe.

00:35:56.920 They say,

00:35:57.340 all right,

00:35:57.660 your warrant's

00:35:58.160 safe in

00:35:59.620 master bedroom.

00:36:00.780 Okay, let's

00:36:01.520 go look at

00:36:01.900 that.

00:36:02.340 You tell

00:36:03.880 me why they

00:36:04.340 couldn't do

00:36:04.660 it with

00:36:04.840 two people.

00:36:06.220 Were they

00:36:06.780 expecting

00:36:07.260 violence?

00:36:08.380 No, because

00:36:09.120 the secret

00:36:09.500 service owns

00:36:10.280 the property

00:36:11.320 for all

00:36:12.420 practical

00:36:12.780 purposes.

00:36:14.240 So there

00:36:14.980 was no

00:36:15.260 risk of

00:36:15.640 violence.

00:36:17.040 It doesn't

00:36:17.560 look like it

00:36:18.080 required a lot

00:36:18.640 of people to

00:36:19.100 carry anything

00:36:19.780 away because

00:36:20.380 they weren't

00:36:21.080 talking about

00:36:21.780 storage of

00:36:23.500 boxes and

00:36:24.080 boxes.

00:36:24.500 They were

00:36:24.640 talking about

00:36:24.980 a few

00:36:25.300 documents,

00:36:25.900 it sounds

00:36:26.160 like.

00:36:26.380 Maybe a

00:36:26.780 box.

00:36:27.120 Now, let's

00:36:29.900 get back to

00:36:30.400 the criticism

00:36:31.320 that it was a

00:36:32.840 bureaucratic

00:36:33.560 fuck-up.

00:36:35.080 It looks like

00:36:35.960 it to me.

00:36:37.240 It does look

00:36:38.040 like if they

00:36:38.620 try to sell

00:36:39.220 this as a

00:36:39.920 bureaucratic

00:36:40.520 mistake, it

00:36:42.120 will look

00:36:42.540 exactly like

00:36:43.300 that.

00:36:43.620 They can

00:36:43.920 sell that.

00:36:44.800 Here's why.

00:36:47.000 It looks like

00:36:47.860 the local

00:36:48.360 office got too

00:36:49.120 many people

00:36:49.580 involved.

00:36:51.060 And then it

00:36:51.500 turned into

00:36:51.980 something it

00:36:52.500 wasn't.

00:36:52.880 Imagine this

00:36:54.160 story if two

00:36:55.180 FBI agents

00:36:56.060 showed up

00:36:56.640 with a

00:36:57.520 warrant,

00:36:58.900 worked with

00:36:59.760 the Secret

00:37:00.180 Service,

00:37:00.880 got everything

00:37:01.420 they wanted,

00:37:02.420 and then left

00:37:03.200 with a little

00:37:04.160 handful of

00:37:04.700 stuff.

00:37:05.480 What would

00:37:05.960 that story

00:37:06.440 look like?

00:37:07.960 That story

00:37:08.620 would look

00:37:09.000 like some

00:37:10.600 people did

00:37:11.040 their job

00:37:11.560 because there

00:37:12.820 does seem

00:37:13.220 to be a

00:37:14.040 credible

00:37:14.560 allegation

00:37:17.120 that he

00:37:17.480 has some

00:37:17.780 documents that

00:37:18.600 legally should

00:37:19.700 be somewhere

00:37:20.120 else.

00:37:21.180 So you

00:37:21.460 wait until

00:37:21.820 the president's

00:37:22.420 not there.

00:37:23.520 You send

00:37:23.920 the smallest

00:37:24.520 number of

00:37:25.000 people because

00:37:25.540 you already

00:37:25.900 control the

00:37:27.720 house.

00:37:29.020 You just

00:37:29.420 get it done.

00:37:30.560 Now, because

00:37:31.440 it was Trump,

00:37:32.240 you end up

00:37:32.820 with the

00:37:33.580 local police

00:37:34.260 force,

00:37:35.420 lights and

00:37:36.660 action and

00:37:37.280 everything else

00:37:37.840 going on.

00:37:38.640 So I

00:37:39.360 think that

00:37:42.300 even if

00:37:42.840 Ray approved

00:37:44.980 it, that

00:37:45.980 what he

00:37:46.420 thought he

00:37:46.920 was approving

00:37:47.500 was something

00:37:48.020 you'd barely

00:37:48.520 notice.

00:37:49.940 I think he

00:37:50.480 may have,

00:37:51.580 this is just

00:37:52.120 speculation,

00:37:52.880 but I

00:37:53.540 think he

00:37:53.900 may have

00:37:54.240 said,

00:37:54.640 all right,

00:37:55.480 if you're

00:37:55.860 going to

00:37:56.000 keep it

00:37:56.280 really small,

00:37:58.260 basically you're

00:37:59.000 just going to

00:37:59.320 go in and

00:37:59.720 get some

00:38:00.040 documents while

00:38:00.740 he's not

00:38:01.060 there, but

00:38:02.540 it's hosted,

00:38:04.520 in and out,

00:38:06.360 clean.

00:38:07.840 But instead,

00:38:09.380 it looks like

00:38:10.060 the bureaucracy

00:38:10.720 had to do

00:38:11.300 what the

00:38:11.560 bureaucracy did.

00:38:12.660 They have a

00:38:13.420 set of rules

00:38:14.120 that they use

00:38:14.700 in every

00:38:15.020 situation,

00:38:15.740 and so they

00:38:16.080 go in big.

00:38:16.680 because I

00:38:17.720 think when

00:38:18.040 you do

00:38:18.300 an FBI

00:38:18.840 raid,

00:38:19.960 you usually

00:38:21.120 go in

00:38:21.560 big so

00:38:22.080 there's no

00:38:22.420 trouble,

00:38:22.880 right?

00:38:24.060 Can

00:38:24.540 somebody

00:38:24.900 confirm

00:38:25.380 that?

00:38:26.200 Wouldn't

00:38:26.600 the strategy

00:38:27.280 of going

00:38:27.800 in big

00:38:28.420 be to

00:38:29.860 suppress

00:38:30.420 any pushback?

00:38:31.980 Like you

00:38:32.320 go in with

00:38:32.840 overwhelming

00:38:33.460 force and

00:38:34.320 lights and

00:38:34.880 people with

00:38:35.720 guns and

00:38:36.180 stuff and

00:38:36.480 everybody just

00:38:37.020 goes,

00:38:37.300 whoa,

00:38:37.440 whoa,

00:38:37.540 whoa,

00:38:37.700 whatever you

00:38:38.340 want.

00:38:39.180 Whatever you

00:38:39.880 want,

00:38:40.340 right?

00:38:41.260 Is that not

00:38:42.020 the point?

00:38:42.860 Yeah.

00:38:43.080 I think

00:38:43.640 that's part

00:38:44.160 of the

00:38:44.360 strategy.

00:38:45.320 So if

00:38:45.700 you have

00:38:45.960 a special

00:38:46.420 case where

00:38:47.120 that's

00:38:47.420 completely

00:38:48.020 unnecessary,

00:38:49.740 because the

00:38:50.280 Secret Service

00:38:50.800 is going

00:38:51.160 to be on

00:38:51.400 your side,

00:38:52.580 it's completely

00:38:53.240 unnecessary,

00:38:54.520 but it might

00:38:55.320 have happened

00:38:55.660 anyway because

00:38:56.300 the bureaucracy

00:38:56.820 required it,

00:38:58.180 right?

00:38:58.460 The bureaucracy

00:38:59.100 is just going

00:38:59.740 to do what

00:39:00.040 it always

00:39:00.360 does.

00:39:01.180 It might

00:39:01.680 not make

00:39:02.060 an exception

00:39:02.540 for this

00:39:03.600 situation.

00:39:04.620 So I

00:39:05.000 think that

00:39:05.380 the Democrats

00:39:05.940 are going

00:39:06.240 to have an

00:39:06.680 actual argument

00:39:07.760 that it

00:39:09.020 was the

00:39:09.400 bureaucracy

00:39:09.940 gone wild

00:39:10.700 and all

00:39:11.200 they were

00:39:11.440 doing is

00:39:11.820 trying to

00:39:12.100 get some

00:39:12.400 documents

00:39:12.840 back.

00:39:14.340 Now,

00:39:15.700 they can

00:39:16.660 sell that.

00:39:17.900 You might

00:39:18.440 not buy

00:39:18.920 it,

00:39:19.900 but it

00:39:20.340 is sellable.

00:39:21.980 So watch

00:39:22.760 for that

00:39:23.120 coming.

00:39:23.720 It seems

00:39:24.260 like that's

00:39:24.660 where it's

00:39:24.880 going to

00:39:25.360 come out.

00:39:28.260 All right.

00:39:31.380 And then

00:39:32.180 here's what

00:39:33.020 I expect.

00:39:33.620 I expect

00:39:34.020 there's

00:39:34.300 nothing

00:39:34.620 damning

00:39:35.100 in those

00:39:35.520 documents.

00:39:37.060 What do

00:39:37.640 you think?

00:39:38.500 I say

00:39:39.200 there's

00:39:39.420 nothing

00:39:39.800 damning

00:39:41.320 in the

00:39:41.680 documents.

00:39:42.400 I don't

00:39:43.540 think

00:39:43.740 anything

00:39:43.980 will be

00:39:44.240 found.

00:39:47.660 The other

00:39:48.360 thing that

00:39:48.720 the Trumps

00:39:49.240 are doing

00:39:49.540 that's

00:39:49.780 brilliant

00:39:50.080 is

00:39:50.660 suggesting

00:39:51.640 that the

00:39:52.240 FBI

00:39:52.620 might be

00:39:53.120 planting

00:39:53.440 evidence.

00:39:55.280 That really

00:39:56.140 is perfect.

00:39:57.500 If this

00:39:58.100 ever happened

00:39:58.620 to you

00:39:59.060 and you

00:40:01.780 weren't there

00:40:02.980 to watch

00:40:03.400 the FBI

00:40:03.880 do the

00:40:04.260 work,

00:40:04.820 the very

00:40:05.260 first thing

00:40:05.720 you should

00:40:05.980 say is

00:40:07.040 that I

00:40:07.720 suspect

00:40:08.040 they planted

00:40:08.560 evidence.

00:40:10.120 As a

00:40:10.820 persuasion

00:40:11.480 and a

00:40:11.920 legal

00:40:12.180 strategy,

00:40:13.520 you do

00:40:14.060 this right

00:40:14.620 away.

00:40:15.980 Right away.

00:40:17.140 The first

00:40:17.600 thing you

00:40:17.900 say is,

00:40:18.480 my God,

00:40:18.980 nobody was

00:40:19.640 there,

00:40:19.980 they could

00:40:20.260 have planted

00:40:20.640 anything.

00:40:22.020 And then

00:40:22.320 you say

00:40:22.640 they have a

00:40:23.080 history of

00:40:23.520 doing exactly

00:40:24.740 this.

00:40:25.520 Do you know

00:40:25.820 why?

00:40:26.380 Because they

00:40:26.760 have a

00:40:26.980 history of

00:40:28.400 using fake

00:40:29.380 information to

00:40:30.080 get what they

00:40:30.500 want.

00:40:31.020 A recent

00:40:31.440 history.

00:40:32.360 You don't

00:40:32.640 have to

00:40:32.960 wonder,

00:40:33.260 I wonder

00:40:34.140 if anybody

00:40:34.620 in the

00:40:34.900 FBI

00:40:35.260 would ever

00:40:35.800 invent

00:40:37.480 any

00:40:37.800 evidence.

00:40:38.580 Yes.

00:40:39.500 The court

00:40:40.300 has demonstrated

00:40:41.040 that's exactly

00:40:41.840 what happened.

00:40:43.020 Exactly what

00:40:43.780 happened.

00:40:44.760 So,

00:40:46.080 Trump is

00:40:48.120 just playing

00:40:48.480 this perfectly.

00:40:50.020 Persuasion

00:40:50.520 wise,

00:40:51.080 I mean,

00:40:51.280 he's just

00:40:51.540 killing it.

00:40:55.040 All right.

00:40:56.720 Is there

00:40:57.320 anything else

00:40:58.080 happening?

00:41:00.260 It feels

00:41:01.000 like this

00:41:01.400 is the

00:41:01.680 only news,

00:41:02.340 right?

00:41:02.500 Now,

00:41:03.620 if it's

00:41:03.940 the only

00:41:04.220 news,

00:41:05.540 now,

00:41:05.780 the one

00:41:06.100 thing I

00:41:06.380 didn't talk

00:41:06.760 about is

00:41:07.220 this attorney

00:41:07.980 and his

00:41:08.540 connection to

00:41:09.460 Epstein.

00:41:10.880 I didn't

00:41:11.120 talk about

00:41:11.520 it enough.

00:41:12.460 The only

00:41:13.940 thing you

00:41:14.380 should take

00:41:14.820 away from

00:41:15.300 the attorney's

00:41:16.160 connection to

00:41:16.820 Epstein is

00:41:18.620 that he

00:41:19.020 would be,

00:41:20.220 in theory,

00:41:21.440 and I'll

00:41:21.780 add in

00:41:22.180 theory so

00:41:22.720 it's not

00:41:23.040 an accusation,

00:41:24.720 in theory,

00:41:26.380 such a

00:41:27.020 person would

00:41:27.540 be the

00:41:27.860 most black

00:41:28.620 mailable

00:41:29.180 person in

00:41:29.740 the world.

00:41:31.480 In

00:41:31.740 theory.

00:41:32.500 Because you

00:41:33.540 would imagine

00:41:34.020 that nobody

00:41:34.500 would help

00:41:34.980 him unless

00:41:35.540 they'd gotten

00:41:36.260 some benefits

00:41:36.840 themselves.

00:41:38.420 You know

00:41:38.860 what I mean?

00:41:39.880 Now, I'm

00:41:40.280 not alleging

00:41:41.000 that.

00:41:41.640 I'm saying

00:41:42.040 that's the

00:41:42.400 first thing

00:41:42.800 you'd assume.

00:41:44.100 It doesn't

00:41:44.460 mean it's

00:41:44.760 true, but

00:41:46.080 your mind

00:41:46.560 goes there

00:41:46.980 immediately.

00:41:48.100 So, is it a

00:41:49.380 coincidence that

00:41:50.600 the most

00:41:51.220 hypothetically

00:41:53.040 blackmailable

00:41:54.240 judge in

00:41:55.160 all the

00:41:56.400 world is

00:41:58.200 the one

00:41:58.560 behind the

00:41:59.340 actual warrant?

00:41:59.980 I don't

00:42:01.320 know.

00:42:01.900 Here's the

00:42:02.400 other thing

00:42:02.880 that you

00:42:03.600 have to

00:42:04.020 ask yourself

00:42:04.720 about.

00:42:05.940 My

00:42:06.380 understanding

00:42:06.900 is that

00:42:07.400 the warrant

00:42:07.880 was showed

00:42:08.720 to the

00:42:10.180 attorneys for

00:42:11.020 Trump, but

00:42:12.100 they were not

00:42:12.660 allowed to

00:42:13.480 hold a

00:42:14.020 copy.

00:42:15.440 Is that

00:42:16.100 what's being

00:42:16.540 reported?

00:42:17.120 I don't

00:42:17.640 know that

00:42:17.940 that's true.

00:42:19.580 I think it's

00:42:20.460 being reported.

00:42:21.060 Now, you

00:42:24.040 don't think

00:42:24.480 that the

00:42:24.820 attorneys got

00:42:25.980 to look at

00:42:26.540 it long

00:42:26.960 enough to

00:42:28.040 have an

00:42:28.340 idea of

00:42:28.780 what it

00:42:29.320 said.

00:42:31.280 Because

00:42:31.720 Trump's

00:42:32.520 attorneys are

00:42:33.060 acting like

00:42:33.560 they don't

00:42:33.880 know what's

00:42:34.240 on it.

00:42:35.800 Am I

00:42:36.140 right?

00:42:36.720 Now, I

00:42:37.260 get that

00:42:37.740 they don't

00:42:38.060 want to

00:42:38.320 paraphrase

00:42:38.820 it.

00:42:39.800 Because if

00:42:40.420 you're an

00:42:40.740 attorney, you

00:42:41.740 might not

00:42:42.140 want to

00:42:42.560 paraphrase it

00:42:43.520 incorrectly or

00:42:44.260 something.

00:42:44.940 You want to

00:42:45.400 be specific.

00:42:46.540 So, attorneys

00:42:47.020 need the

00:42:47.660 document.

00:42:48.420 Like, that's

00:42:48.780 just built

00:42:49.200 into their

00:42:49.760 DNA.

00:42:51.060 Don't

00:42:51.700 talk about

00:42:52.260 a document.

00:42:53.100 Get the

00:42:53.560 document.

00:42:54.640 Somebody

00:42:55.060 talking about

00:42:55.900 a document

00:42:56.340 doesn't mean

00:42:56.980 much.

00:42:58.040 A document

00:42:58.600 might mean

00:42:59.080 something.

00:43:00.100 So, you

00:43:00.480 can see why

00:43:00.920 the lawyers

00:43:01.360 don't want

00:43:01.760 to talk

00:43:02.300 about a

00:43:02.660 document that

00:43:04.060 could potentially

00:43:05.520 be held in

00:43:06.160 your hand,

00:43:06.720 which would

00:43:07.300 be the

00:43:07.540 better

00:43:07.720 outcome.

00:43:08.940 However,

00:43:11.620 however,

00:43:14.040 if I

00:43:14.500 were,

00:43:16.400 if the

00:43:17.640 warrant said

00:43:18.300 things that

00:43:18.940 I wanted

00:43:19.400 the public

00:43:19.920 to hear,

00:43:21.060 I would

00:43:21.880 tell the

00:43:22.220 public right

00:43:22.700 away,

00:43:23.300 because that's

00:43:23.780 how you

00:43:24.020 manage the

00:43:24.460 public opinion.

00:43:25.860 So, if

00:43:26.340 Trump's lawyers

00:43:27.160 saw something

00:43:27.820 on the

00:43:28.120 warrant that

00:43:28.580 was absurd,

00:43:30.300 I feel

00:43:30.720 like we'd

00:43:31.120 know it

00:43:31.480 by now.

00:43:33.060 Am I

00:43:33.660 right?

00:43:34.860 If something

00:43:35.620 on there

00:43:35.980 said,

00:43:36.840 we need

00:43:37.580 to check

00:43:38.300 under your

00:43:38.720 mattress,

00:43:39.340 or just

00:43:39.580 some dumb

00:43:40.040 ass thing 1.00

00:43:40.560 that made

00:43:41.160 no sense,

00:43:42.120 you'd know

00:43:42.580 that.

00:43:43.500 Somebody

00:43:43.920 would have

00:43:44.240 leaked that.

00:43:44.800 But if

00:43:46.300 all it

00:43:46.640 says is

00:43:47.100 something

00:43:47.340 like,

00:43:47.840 we want

00:43:48.420 to check

00:43:48.760 your safes

00:43:49.340 because we

00:43:49.940 think you

00:43:50.280 have some

00:43:50.640 documents that

00:43:51.700 you shouldn't

00:43:52.000 have,

00:43:53.160 you don't

00:43:53.500 think the

00:43:53.940 lawyers for

00:43:54.520 Trump read

00:43:55.560 that and

00:43:56.060 knew exactly

00:43:56.600 what it

00:43:56.940 meant and

00:43:57.380 there was

00:43:57.600 no ambiguity

00:43:58.660 at all?

00:43:59.700 Oh,

00:44:00.660 you're looking

00:44:01.120 in these

00:44:01.540 three places

00:44:02.200 for these

00:44:03.940 specific

00:44:04.380 documents.

00:44:06.380 You don't

00:44:06.980 think Trump's

00:44:08.040 lawyers know

00:44:09.100 what the

00:44:09.960 warrant said?

00:44:11.440 Of course

00:44:11.920 they do.

00:44:12.960 They were

00:44:13.460 shown the

00:44:13.900 warrant.

00:44:14.980 They read

00:44:15.420 it.

00:44:16.140 They have

00:44:16.520 memories.

00:44:17.160 They're

00:44:17.460 attorneys.

00:44:18.040 They can

00:44:18.280 remember

00:44:18.600 stuff.

00:44:20.040 Now,

00:44:20.620 not telling

00:44:21.180 you what

00:44:22.880 they know

00:44:23.400 is probably

00:44:24.460 a good

00:44:24.720 strategy.

00:44:26.060 It's probably

00:44:26.420 a great

00:44:26.760 strategy.

00:44:27.480 Because if

00:44:27.900 they don't

00:44:28.240 tell you

00:44:28.580 what's on

00:44:28.960 there,

00:44:29.500 your imagination

00:44:30.140 will fill

00:44:30.840 it in with

00:44:31.300 the worst

00:44:31.660 case scenario.

00:44:33.100 Have I ever

00:44:33.560 taught you

00:44:33.880 that,

00:44:34.220 persuasion-wise?

00:44:35.640 Here's a

00:44:36.200 persuasion tip

00:44:37.100 that I'll embed

00:44:38.860 in this

00:44:39.240 live stream.

00:44:40.580 If you can

00:44:41.860 keep people

00:44:42.440 wondering,

00:44:43.800 they will

00:44:44.140 create more

00:44:44.740 energy.

00:44:45.980 Because it's

00:44:46.740 the not

00:44:47.160 knowing that

00:44:48.140 makes your

00:44:48.600 brain spin.

00:44:50.500 Ah,

00:44:50.900 what,

00:44:51.240 what exactly

00:44:52.120 is in that

00:44:52.560 warrant?

00:44:53.320 It must be

00:44:53.840 bad if they're

00:44:54.380 not showing us.

00:44:54.820 Oh my God,

00:44:55.560 it's so bad.

00:44:56.600 Two days have

00:44:57.240 gone by and

00:44:57.720 they're not

00:44:58.000 even showing us

00:44:58.560 the warrant?

00:44:59.180 Wow,

00:44:59.680 that must be

00:45:00.180 so bad.

00:45:01.720 So as long

00:45:02.340 as Trump and

00:45:04.040 the lawyers can

00:45:04.880 maintain the

00:45:05.680 story that

00:45:06.240 nobody knows

00:45:06.820 what's in the

00:45:07.300 warrant,

00:45:08.340 which is

00:45:08.920 obviously false.

00:45:10.580 The Trump

00:45:11.900 team knows

00:45:12.480 exactly what

00:45:13.200 was in the

00:45:13.640 warrant,

00:45:14.320 at least in

00:45:16.000 concept.

00:45:17.100 They still need

00:45:18.300 the document to

00:45:19.160 share it with

00:45:19.740 him, which

00:45:20.160 would make

00:45:20.500 sense.

00:45:21.120 But they

00:45:21.440 know, of

00:45:22.280 course they

00:45:22.560 know.

00:45:25.740 Now, I'm

00:45:27.440 being questioned

00:45:28.040 that there's

00:45:28.520 nothing in the

00:45:29.540 warrant that

00:45:30.640 explains why

00:45:31.500 they're doing

00:45:31.960 it, and I

00:45:32.660 disagree.

00:45:33.800 I agree that

00:45:34.860 that's not the

00:45:35.480 intention of the

00:45:36.360 warrant.

00:45:36.680 So the

00:45:37.940 intention of

00:45:38.540 the warrant is

00:45:39.040 not to tell

00:45:39.520 you why they're

00:45:40.080 doing it.

00:45:40.840 So that part

00:45:41.260 you're correct.

00:45:42.460 But where I

00:45:43.060 disagree is that

00:45:44.000 when they tell

00:45:44.440 you what they're

00:45:45.020 looking for, that

00:45:46.480 tells you why

00:45:47.160 they're there.

00:45:49.420 I need somebody

00:45:50.420 who's a lawyer to

00:45:53.340 disagree with me

00:45:54.160 on this, right?

00:45:55.660 Okay, I agree and

00:45:57.080 I'm a lawyer.

00:45:57.640 Thank you.

00:45:58.360 So for example,

00:45:59.220 if the warrant

00:45:59.780 said we're going

00:46:02.060 to check three

00:46:02.660 places for these

00:46:03.940 documents which we

00:46:04.860 think you shouldn't

00:46:05.460 have and we

00:46:06.440 list the

00:46:06.900 documents, you

00:46:09.340 don't think the

00:46:09.820 lawyers saw that?

00:46:11.260 Probably.

00:46:12.340 If they tell you

00:46:13.140 what they're

00:46:13.480 looking for

00:46:14.040 specifically and

00:46:14.960 where they're

00:46:15.400 looking, that

00:46:16.620 kind of tells you

00:46:17.500 what they're

00:46:17.800 looking for.

00:46:19.220 Now, somebody

00:46:21.060 says the logic

00:46:21.720 is flawed.

00:46:23.120 I'm not done.

00:46:24.440 I'm not done.

00:46:25.780 That does not

00:46:26.500 eliminate the

00:46:27.180 possibility that

00:46:28.500 they say they're

00:46:29.300 looking for one

00:46:30.040 thing, but they're

00:46:31.580 sort of hoping

00:46:32.120 they're going to

00:46:32.500 find another

00:46:33.020 thing, am I

00:46:33.580 right?

00:46:34.320 Is that what you

00:46:34.920 wanted to tell

00:46:35.400 me?

00:46:36.100 That they can

00:46:36.600 pretend they're

00:46:37.160 looking for A,

00:46:37.940 but they're

00:46:38.220 really looking

00:46:38.640 for B, they're

00:46:39.320 just fishing.

00:46:41.220 Right?

00:46:43.500 So those

00:46:44.900 factors all have

00:46:46.580 to go.

00:46:46.960 So here's my

00:46:47.720 assumption.

00:46:48.520 I believe that

00:46:49.540 the Trump team

00:46:51.620 does not want you

00:46:52.640 to know what

00:46:53.180 they're looking

00:46:53.600 for yet, because

00:46:55.140 the longer you

00:46:55.940 are thinking

00:46:56.960 about it, the

00:46:57.840 more energy

00:46:58.440 you're building

00:46:58.960 up in your

00:46:59.380 minds, and

00:47:00.520 they need that

00:47:01.140 energy.

00:47:02.380 Trump wants

00:47:03.120 you to have

00:47:03.540 energy around

00:47:04.560 this question.

00:47:06.300 So if he

00:47:06.860 told you the

00:47:07.360 answer, you'd

00:47:07.940 say, okay,

00:47:08.900 that sounded

00:47:09.260 reasonable, maybe.

00:47:10.700 It might drain 0.76

00:47:11.360 your energy

00:47:11.800 away.

00:47:12.300 So he's

00:47:12.640 keeping it

00:47:12.980 high.

00:47:18.200 They all

00:47:18.760 knew what

00:47:19.140 they were

00:47:19.400 looking for.

00:47:20.760 Yeah, there's

00:47:21.220 a lot of

00:47:21.540 people who

00:47:21.840 knew what

00:47:22.060 they were

00:47:22.260 looking for.

00:47:23.020 But we are

00:47:23.620 told that it's

00:47:24.280 just some

00:47:25.120 documents that

00:47:25.960 are not

00:47:26.300 relevant to

00:47:26.880 any legal

00:47:27.300 case.

00:47:27.760 we're told

00:47:28.820 it's just

00:47:29.200 documents that

00:47:29.940 have some

00:47:30.340 security

00:47:31.300 impact.

00:47:33.160 So here's

00:47:33.900 the question

00:47:34.280 I ask.

00:47:38.440 Is there

00:47:39.040 any reason

00:47:39.520 that the

00:47:39.940 Trump team

00:47:41.060 did not

00:47:41.500 negotiate to

00:47:43.420 keep the

00:47:43.860 originals and

00:47:44.660 let them 0.55

00:47:45.020 take copies?

00:47:48.000 Does the

00:47:48.660 National

00:47:49.020 Archive require

00:47:50.040 the original?

00:47:52.360 Or could

00:47:52.920 you negotiate?

00:47:54.140 So let's

00:47:54.920 say that one

00:47:55.440 of the items

00:47:56.080 was a

00:47:56.560 handwritten

00:47:56.960 letter from

00:47:58.140 Kim Jong-un

00:47:58.980 to Trump.

00:48:01.040 Let's just

00:48:01.640 say that was

00:48:02.140 one of the

00:48:02.560 items.

00:48:03.580 If the

00:48:04.520 archives have

00:48:05.240 a perfect

00:48:06.400 digital image

00:48:07.200 of it,

00:48:08.280 do they need

00:48:08.800 the original?

00:48:10.320 Let's say

00:48:10.900 he just wanted

00:48:11.340 to keep a

00:48:11.760 keepsake.

00:48:14.100 Because,

00:48:14.640 you know,

00:48:14.840 it might be

00:48:15.220 valuable at

00:48:15.780 some point,

00:48:16.240 but it'd

00:48:16.760 certainly be

00:48:17.140 interesting to

00:48:17.720 see it

00:48:17.980 framed.

00:48:20.600 Just

00:48:21.040 wondering.

00:48:21.540 All right.

00:48:23.120 What should

00:48:23.800 you do about

00:48:25.040 this situation?

00:48:27.080 Do any

00:48:28.040 of you feel

00:48:28.540 like you

00:48:28.860 need to

00:48:29.240 act because

00:48:31.420 of this

00:48:31.780 situation?

00:48:34.140 You do

00:48:34.780 know that

00:48:35.240 95% of

00:48:36.260 the people

00:48:36.620 are not

00:48:37.320 even aware

00:48:37.820 of what

00:48:38.100 happened.

00:48:38.640 Like,

00:48:38.920 they've

00:48:39.100 heard there

00:48:39.420 was a

00:48:39.640 raid,

00:48:39.920 but they

00:48:40.100 don't care.

00:48:41.320 Most of

00:48:41.800 the country

00:48:42.100 doesn't care

00:48:42.560 about this

00:48:42.940 at all.

00:48:44.040 This is

00:48:44.500 very much

00:48:45.040 fuel.

00:48:46.200 It's sort

00:48:46.760 of like an

00:48:47.160 August story,

00:48:48.880 slow news

00:48:49.560 month.

00:48:50.600 So we get

00:48:51.560 these manufactured

00:48:52.420 stories in

00:48:53.120 August.

00:48:53.400 So here's

00:48:56.160 what you

00:48:56.440 don't need

00:48:56.840 to do.

00:48:58.360 You don't

00:48:59.500 need to

00:48:59.880 clean your

00:49:00.400 weapons and

00:49:01.120 start marching

00:49:02.200 on the

00:49:02.520 Capitol.

00:49:04.800 Can I say

00:49:05.800 that as

00:49:06.100 clearly as

00:49:06.640 possible?

00:49:07.800 Because there

00:49:08.540 are people

00:49:09.080 who are

00:49:09.980 trying to

00:49:12.140 characterize me

00:49:13.140 as inciting

00:49:13.840 violence.

00:49:14.860 I want to be

00:49:15.500 as clear as

00:49:16.440 I can.

00:49:17.460 There is no

00:49:18.100 cause for

00:49:18.640 violence in

00:49:19.620 what we're

00:49:19.980 seeing.

00:49:20.260 not even

00:49:21.620 close.

00:49:22.520 Not even

00:49:22.940 close.

00:49:23.580 Because we

00:49:24.240 have regular

00:49:24.860 mechanisms to

00:49:25.760 take care of

00:49:26.260 it.

00:49:27.520 We do.

00:49:28.700 We've got

00:49:29.140 elections coming

00:49:29.960 up.

00:49:30.660 You can't do

00:49:31.260 any better than

00:49:31.840 an upcoming

00:49:32.280 election.

00:49:33.340 If you want

00:49:33.880 to change

00:49:34.240 something,

00:49:35.520 the dumbest

00:49:36.180 thing to do

00:49:36.680 would be to

00:49:37.200 get your

00:49:37.540 weapons a

00:49:38.760 month before

00:49:39.280 an election.

00:49:41.040 Nothing would

00:49:41.820 be dumber

00:49:42.220 than to stage

00:49:43.560 an insurrection

00:49:44.460 right before a

00:49:46.080 probable red

00:49:47.320 wave election.

00:49:48.120 election, you

00:49:49.380 could not be

00:49:50.140 dumber than

00:49:50.600 that.

00:49:51.800 So don't be

00:49:52.300 dumb.

00:49:53.840 Now, let's

00:49:55.120 say there was

00:49:56.020 a red wave

00:49:56.860 except the

00:49:58.460 polls show

00:49:59.400 that it was

00:49:59.780 the opposite

00:50:00.240 and the

00:50:00.960 Democrats held

00:50:01.640 power and

00:50:02.820 won everything

00:50:03.400 2022 and

00:50:05.040 2024.

00:50:06.520 Well, I have

00:50:07.520 questions.

00:50:09.480 Then we have

00:50:10.140 questions about

00:50:10.760 our election

00:50:11.220 security.

00:50:12.980 But we might

00:50:14.120 be at a point

00:50:14.940 where Trump

00:50:16.360 could win a

00:50:17.240 re-election

00:50:17.720 by such a

00:50:19.220 margin that

00:50:19.820 cheating would

00:50:20.360 be just too

00:50:21.320 hard.

00:50:22.180 You just

00:50:22.460 couldn't get

00:50:22.780 away with

00:50:23.100 it.

00:50:26.860 All right.

00:50:28.900 And it

00:50:29.480 does seem to

00:50:30.000 me that the

00:50:30.600 swing districts

00:50:32.220 are going to

00:50:32.600 be quite

00:50:33.220 scrutinized.

00:50:41.900 Somebody

00:50:42.380 changed their

00:50:43.020 affiliation to

00:50:43.840 Democrat just

00:50:44.960 to be safe.

00:50:46.300 That's not a

00:50:47.020 bad idea.

00:50:47.720 to re-register

00:50:49.520 as Democrat

00:50:50.080 just for

00:50:51.480 safety.

00:50:53.640 That's not a

00:50:54.320 bad idea.

00:50:55.280 It really

00:50:55.620 isn't.

00:50:58.460 Actually, I

00:50:59.060 might do

00:50:59.360 that.

00:51:01.360 That's not a

00:51:02.000 bad idea.

00:51:02.460 I think I

00:51:02.800 might register

00:51:03.280 as Democrat.

00:51:04.040 What would

00:51:04.560 you say?

00:51:06.060 Would anybody

00:51:06.840 object to

00:51:07.420 that?

00:51:08.580 If you

00:51:09.140 heard that I

00:51:09.780 register as a

00:51:10.900 Democrat,

00:51:11.280 but I talk

00:51:14.560 the same,

00:51:15.280 everything's the

00:51:16.000 same.

00:51:16.800 I just

00:51:17.080 register as a

00:51:17.800 Democrat.

00:51:18.260 Because I've

00:51:18.680 actually thought

00:51:19.220 if I ran for

00:51:19.940 office, I would

00:51:21.020 run as a

00:51:21.620 Democrat.

00:51:22.900 Because it

00:51:23.440 would be easy.

00:51:24.960 Running as a

00:51:25.500 Democrat is the 0.96

00:51:26.020 easiest thing in

00:51:26.560 the world.

00:51:28.020 And I could get

00:51:29.520 Republican votes

00:51:30.820 fairly easily.

00:51:31.680 You know, you

00:51:32.580 don't get most,

00:51:33.920 but I could get

00:51:34.940 enough.

00:51:36.100 Do you know how

00:51:36.600 easy it would be to

00:51:37.580 get Republican votes?

00:51:38.780 show them

00:51:41.300 respect.

00:51:43.620 I'm done.

00:51:45.080 I'm done.

00:51:45.860 I just got 20%

00:51:46.820 of Republican votes.

00:51:48.740 Show them

00:51:49.180 respect.

00:51:50.400 That's it.

00:51:51.620 That's it.

00:51:52.020 20% of the vote.

00:51:54.720 Nothing could be

00:51:55.520 easier than winning

00:51:56.200 an election as a

00:51:57.040 Democrat.

00:51:57.920 You literally just

00:51:59.080 have to show a

00:51:59.740 little bit of

00:52:00.120 respect to the

00:52:00.780 other team's

00:52:01.440 opinion.

00:52:02.140 That's it.

00:52:03.200 And they'll let

00:52:03.980 you in.

00:52:04.860 I think that was

00:52:06.260 Bill Clinton's

00:52:07.080 genius.

00:52:07.420 He did the

00:52:08.880 triangulating thing

00:52:09.940 where he tried to

00:52:10.980 be not quite a

00:52:12.060 Democrat, not quite

00:52:12.900 a Republican, so

00:52:13.620 everybody would

00:52:14.100 find something to

00:52:14.840 like.

00:52:15.840 That worked

00:52:16.520 easily.

00:52:17.480 I would say that

00:52:18.220 Bill Clinton

00:52:18.740 showed Republicans

00:52:19.760 respect.

00:52:21.400 Tell me I'm

00:52:22.760 wrong.

00:52:24.280 Yes or no,

00:52:25.360 Bill Clinton

00:52:26.200 showed Republicans

00:52:28.040 respect.

00:52:30.300 I believe he

00:52:31.100 did.

00:52:31.760 I believe he

00:52:32.320 did.

00:52:32.900 Yeah.

00:52:33.720 And I think it

00:52:34.360 was actually

00:52:34.960 honest.

00:52:37.420 Now, I'm not

00:52:38.400 going to call

00:52:38.820 politicians

00:52:39.460 honest, but I

00:52:40.480 think Bill

00:52:41.320 Clinton, coming

00:52:42.760 from a southern

00:52:43.420 state, being

00:52:44.680 more of a

00:52:45.400 conservative

00:52:45.820 Democrat, I

00:52:46.820 think it was an

00:52:47.480 honest respect.

00:52:48.900 I do.

00:52:49.800 And I think it

00:52:50.500 came across that

00:52:51.160 way.

00:52:52.320 Now, compare

00:52:53.660 that to Hillary 0.99

00:52:54.280 Clinton calling

00:52:55.300 the other side

00:52:55.920 deplorables, and

00:52:57.400 anything that, you

00:52:58.800 know, and then

00:52:59.240 there was a, you

00:53:00.600 know, Obama with

00:53:01.860 his clinging to

00:53:02.720 their Bibles and

00:53:03.480 guns, right?

00:53:04.880 The mistakes that

00:53:07.100 the Democrats

00:53:07.600 make are just so

00:53:09.680 obvious.

00:53:11.280 They're like these

00:53:12.300 gigantic, easy-to-avoid

00:53:14.080 mistakes.

00:53:15.140 Oh, all I have to

00:53:16.660 do is treat them

00:53:17.560 with respect the

00:53:19.640 way I would like to

00:53:20.620 be treated.

00:53:22.080 And then I can be

00:53:23.360 president of the

00:53:25.240 United States?

00:53:26.760 Yep.

00:53:27.560 Yep.

00:53:28.160 That's all you have

00:53:28.980 to do.

00:53:29.700 Treat them with a

00:53:30.360 little respect, and

00:53:32.060 then you can be

00:53:32.620 president of the

00:53:33.160 United States.

00:53:33.600 I could absolutely

00:53:35.460 become president as

00:53:36.560 a Democrat.

00:53:37.480 It would be that

00:53:38.060 easy.

00:53:39.360 But I would also

00:53:41.200 have to show

00:53:41.780 complete respect to

00:53:42.900 AOC's point of

00:53:43.900 view, which I do

00:53:44.720 have, believe it

00:53:46.040 or not.

00:53:47.180 I have complete

00:53:48.220 respect for the

00:53:49.580 AOC's and even

00:53:50.840 the Elon Omar's

00:53:51.920 in a way.

00:53:53.240 There's some

00:53:54.720 sketchiness to her

00:53:55.720 opinions.

00:53:56.420 But here's what I

00:53:57.040 like about it.

00:53:58.040 I like the ones

00:53:59.140 who are saying we

00:54:00.280 have to blow up

00:54:00.980 the whole system

00:54:01.760 because it's not

00:54:03.220 working.

00:54:03.600 And I think

00:54:06.880 if you showed

00:54:07.440 them respect and

00:54:08.240 said, you know

00:54:08.600 what, I like that

00:54:09.820 thinking so much.

00:54:11.060 I can't see how

00:54:12.160 you could make

00:54:12.680 that work, but

00:54:14.000 can we come up

00:54:14.820 with a small

00:54:15.340 test of it?

00:54:16.980 Can we see if

00:54:17.660 your idea has

00:54:18.300 some merit?

00:54:18.800 Maybe we'll

00:54:19.200 build a little

00:54:19.800 community, see if

00:54:21.140 it works.

00:54:22.500 Run it your

00:54:23.120 way.

00:54:23.700 If we learn

00:54:24.460 anything, well,

00:54:25.100 we'll take that

00:54:25.600 forward.

00:54:26.400 But if you say,

00:54:27.340 AOC, you're 0.94

00:54:28.080 crazy, everything

00:54:29.560 you say is a

00:54:30.320 bad idea, well,

00:54:32.080 that's no way to

00:54:32.720 be a president.

00:54:33.980 The way to be

00:54:34.480 president is

00:54:35.000 to say, that's

00:54:35.640 more radical than

00:54:37.400 we've thought

00:54:38.260 through, but I

00:54:40.140 can help you get

00:54:41.960 to the other

00:54:42.400 side of this.

00:54:43.600 Let's just test

00:54:44.380 it.

00:54:45.580 Why would you

00:54:46.360 complain about

00:54:47.000 that?

00:54:48.160 It's so easy to

00:54:49.240 win the presidency.

00:54:50.800 If I showed you

00:54:52.540 how easy it would

00:54:53.400 be, you're going

00:54:55.000 to wonder why

00:54:55.520 nobody did it

00:54:56.240 before, I mean,

00:54:57.100 so easily.

00:54:57.580 And I would

00:54:58.520 argue that, oh,

00:54:59.900 here's another

00:55:00.280 one.

00:55:02.980 Did Reagan, and

00:55:04.100 I was maybe not

00:55:05.380 paying attention as

00:55:06.180 much during the

00:55:06.760 Reagan era, did

00:55:08.300 Reagan show

00:55:09.240 respect to the

00:55:11.220 other team?

00:55:13.940 Did Reagan show

00:55:15.080 respect to

00:55:16.740 liberals?

00:55:17.220 Now, he always

00:55:17.740 demonized liberals,

00:55:19.400 but it was more

00:55:21.260 of the liberal

00:55:21.720 point of view,

00:55:22.420 wasn't it?

00:55:22.840 Because I feel

00:55:26.080 like Reagan was

00:55:27.300 more about the

00:55:28.480 philosophy he was

00:55:29.440 attacking than the

00:55:30.300 people, but maybe

00:55:32.580 I just don't

00:55:33.100 remember it right.

00:55:35.400 Yeah, there were

00:55:35.980 Reagan Democrats,

00:55:37.000 exactly.

00:55:38.440 He worked well

00:55:39.080 with Tip O'Neill.

00:55:41.240 Yeah, in those

00:55:41.940 days, things were a

00:55:42.900 little bit more

00:55:43.360 collegiate, so maybe

00:55:44.520 that's a bad

00:55:45.020 comparison.

00:55:47.600 Yeah, he mocked

00:55:48.680 liberals for their

00:55:50.180 point of view, but

00:55:51.820 that's very different

00:55:52.560 than mocking them

00:55:53.400 for being, you

00:55:54.660 know, clinging to

00:55:55.660 Bibles and guns and

00:55:56.860 being deplorable.

00:55:58.740 Like, Reagan never

00:55:59.460 called liberals

00:56:00.120 deplorable, did he?

00:56:04.560 Yeah.

00:56:07.040 All right.

00:56:08.380 Mocking the other

00:56:09.680 side's ideas,

00:56:10.860 perfectly, perfectly

00:56:12.460 good.

00:56:13.880 But going after the

00:56:14.960 people is what the

00:56:15.880 new Democrats have

00:56:16.720 done recently, and

00:56:18.740 that's not a winning

00:56:20.300 combination in the

00:56:21.180 long run.

00:56:23.520 Now, how many of

00:56:25.100 you would accept the

00:56:30.120 following point of

00:56:31.880 view?

00:56:33.080 We've never been

00:56:34.280 stronger as a

00:56:35.140 country.

00:56:37.080 Every generation

00:56:38.200 thinks that

00:56:38.900 everything's falling

00:56:39.560 apart.

00:56:41.020 You know, I was

00:56:41.460 watching, I mentioned

00:56:42.620 this before, but I was

00:56:43.480 watching Newt Gingrich's,

00:56:45.480 he's got a show about

00:56:46.380 Washington, George

00:56:47.240 Washington.

00:56:47.620 It's called the

00:56:48.820 First American, I

00:56:49.900 believe.

00:56:50.220 I forgot to, I

00:56:50.960 didn't know the title

00:56:51.760 the first time I

00:56:52.360 talked about it.

00:56:53.320 So it's called the

00:56:53.980 First American.

00:56:55.580 And when you find

00:56:56.800 out how close

00:56:59.440 Washington was to

00:57:02.500 losing everything,

00:57:03.160 his army at one

00:57:04.360 point was just like

00:57:05.040 2,500 people.

00:57:06.800 2,500 barefoot

00:57:08.360 people with no

00:57:09.060 ammunition.

00:57:09.500 You know, things

00:57:12.700 were pretty grim.

00:57:14.620 But the United

00:57:15.820 States has been

00:57:16.980 teetering on the

00:57:18.280 brink of extinction

00:57:19.160 for those first

00:57:20.720 hundred years.

00:57:22.460 Right?

00:57:22.960 We got your civil

00:57:23.760 wars, et cetera.

00:57:24.700 And the 60s, if

00:57:27.040 you lived through

00:57:27.460 the 60s, it

00:57:28.180 looked like the

00:57:28.700 whole country was

00:57:29.560 coming apart.

00:57:31.060 But it didn't.

00:57:32.540 If you look at

00:57:33.400 anything that we've

00:57:34.200 experienced in our

00:57:35.240 hundreds of years of

00:57:36.700 history, and then

00:57:37.780 you compare it to

00:57:38.380 what's happening

00:57:38.840 today, what's

00:57:40.380 happening today is

00:57:41.080 people getting mad

00:57:42.220 on Twitter.

00:57:44.000 There's literally

00:57:44.560 nothing happening

00:57:45.340 that would get you

00:57:46.140 anywhere near a

00:57:47.020 civil war.

00:57:48.040 When the country

00:57:49.040 talks about, oh,

00:57:50.020 we need a national

00:57:51.480 divorce and

00:57:52.280 everything, that's

00:57:54.340 what the states

00:57:54.920 are.

00:57:55.580 You can go to a

00:57:56.320 state you like, and

00:57:57.780 it'll happen over

00:57:58.440 time, right?

00:57:59.160 So you don't need a

00:58:00.000 national divorce if

00:58:01.940 everybody can just

00:58:02.780 have multiple

00:58:03.520 lovers.

00:58:06.760 Worst analogy ever.

00:58:08.700 The states are like

00:58:09.540 your multiple lovers.

00:58:11.280 If you don't like

00:58:12.160 New Hampshire, you

00:58:13.280 always have Texas.

00:58:14.960 You don't like

00:58:15.760 Florida, well, you

00:58:17.020 got California.

00:58:18.840 So as long as you

00:58:19.860 have diversification

00:58:20.880 and multiple lovers,

00:58:22.040 you don't need to

00:58:23.060 break the whole

00:58:23.580 thing.

00:58:24.340 Just find another

00:58:25.100 lover.

00:58:29.520 Corporations have

00:58:30.180 too much power?

00:58:32.060 Maybe.

00:58:34.060 But I wonder what

00:58:35.200 the world would look

00:58:35.940 like if they didn't.

00:58:37.620 So, you know, I get

00:58:39.000 the idea that

00:58:39.620 corporations have too

00:58:40.460 much power, blah,

00:58:41.460 blah, blah.

00:58:41.760 Everybody agrees on

00:58:42.600 that.

00:58:43.420 But what would it

00:58:44.340 look like if they

00:58:44.940 didn't?

00:58:46.420 Because I don't

00:58:47.040 think we ever count

00:58:47.760 the good things that

00:58:48.560 corporations do, which

00:58:50.880 are amazingly good.

00:58:52.000 You know, we talk

00:58:53.220 about their

00:58:53.580 pollution and

00:58:54.360 their whatever

00:58:55.200 white-collar crimes

00:58:56.700 and stuff.

00:58:57.780 But I think

00:59:00.180 corporations have

00:59:00.900 really moved

00:59:01.320 society forward

00:59:02.140 overall.

00:59:05.640 The transnationals 0.76

00:59:06.920 do not have

00:59:07.580 loyalty.

00:59:08.320 Well, that's true,

00:59:08.900 but they don't

00:59:09.380 need it.

00:59:11.100 Market competition

00:59:12.120 is better than

00:59:12.760 loyalty.

00:59:13.120 Iran sent a hitman 0.98

00:59:19.620 for John Bolton

00:59:20.500 and Mike Pompeo,

00:59:21.860 somebody's saying.

00:59:23.000 Is that in the

00:59:23.500 news?

00:59:25.400 The news isn't

00:59:26.360 reporting that,

00:59:26.960 is it?

00:59:28.000 Really?

00:59:29.600 How did I miss

00:59:30.180 that?

00:59:33.040 Huh.

00:59:34.560 Well,

00:59:35.680 interesting.

00:59:36.760 What would you

00:59:37.660 assume to be true

00:59:38.720 if that news is

00:59:39.980 surfacing now?

00:59:40.780 Well,

00:59:40.860 it feels like a

00:59:44.680 build-up to war,

00:59:45.460 doesn't it?

00:59:48.340 Yeah,

00:59:48.920 that feels like a

00:59:49.620 build-up to war,

00:59:50.540 because I don't

00:59:51.180 know that that

00:59:51.660 information gets

00:59:52.360 out accidentally.

00:59:54.020 That feels like

00:59:54.920 the most top-secret

00:59:56.340 stuff you could

00:59:58.360 ever have.

01:00:00.220 Multiple reports.

01:00:03.500 Wow.

01:00:05.780 I don't know.

01:00:06.720 Do you think that

01:00:07.420 Iran would be 1.00

01:00:08.120 dumb enough to do

01:00:08.800 that?

01:00:09.040 Now,

01:00:09.780 granted,

01:00:11.080 we took out

01:00:11.580 their generals,

01:00:13.860 but do you

01:00:15.940 think they would?

01:00:17.220 Maybe.

01:00:17.900 I'm not going to

01:00:18.460 rule it out,

01:00:19.640 but it would be a

01:00:20.460 terrible strategy,

01:00:21.820 because the United

01:00:25.520 States would have

01:00:26.360 to basically change

01:00:29.440 their leadership if

01:00:30.300 that happened.

01:00:30.800 day before yesterday.

01:00:35.120 Huh?

01:00:38.120 Oh,

01:00:38.640 as a

01:00:39.340 payback for

01:00:41.540 a soul of money.

01:00:43.620 Yeah.

01:00:44.900 Oh,

01:00:45.400 so there's a reward

01:00:46.380 out for killing

01:00:47.540 them.

01:00:47.900 That's a little

01:00:48.420 different.

01:00:50.180 A reward

01:00:50.880 out for killing

01:00:51.660 them is a little

01:00:52.320 different than

01:00:53.060 sending a hitman.

01:00:55.020 That's different.

01:00:56.440 It's not good,

01:00:58.000 but it's definitely

01:00:58.620 different.

01:00:59.020 That sounded

01:01:01.800 more like wishful

01:01:02.520 thinking.

01:01:06.560 It would unify

01:01:07.540 their country?

01:01:08.360 Well,

01:01:08.680 it would unify

01:01:09.220 the country,

01:01:09.800 but their

01:01:10.080 government would

01:01:10.700 be vaporized.

01:01:14.340 It's a contract,

01:01:15.540 not a reward.

01:01:17.400 Oh,

01:01:17.660 it's a contract.

01:01:18.500 Okay.

01:01:19.820 Well,

01:01:20.080 if it's a contract

01:01:21.000 for somebody

01:01:21.920 specific to do

01:01:22.940 it,

01:01:24.360 then that's

01:01:24.720 pretty...

01:01:25.360 Four hitmen

01:01:25.940 were identified,

01:01:26.700 four specific

01:01:27.340 ones.

01:01:27.680 I'll be darned.

01:01:35.920 Remember when

01:01:36.580 Ollie North

01:01:37.340 got the

01:01:38.860 government to

01:01:39.440 pay for some

01:01:39.960 security at his

01:01:40.860 home,

01:01:42.020 and there was

01:01:42.400 a big question

01:01:42.880 about that,

01:01:43.520 because he

01:01:44.060 thought Al-Qaeda

01:01:44.920 was going to

01:01:45.380 try to kill

01:01:45.840 him or

01:01:46.100 something?

01:01:46.300 something?

01:01:47.740 And it

01:01:48.000 sounded silly?

01:01:49.700 That wasn't

01:01:50.280 silly.

01:01:55.600 All right.

01:01:57.240 Well,

01:01:57.680 I thought if

01:01:58.180 Iran wanted to 1.00

01:01:59.500 start the

01:02:00.400 end-time

01:02:00.980 war,

01:02:02.300 they would have

01:02:02.980 already done it.

01:02:03.900 So I think that

01:02:04.500 the Iranians,

01:02:05.880 their leadership is

01:02:06.660 probably looking at

01:02:07.240 the same risks

01:02:08.320 as anybody else

01:02:09.020 would.

01:02:09.180 All right.

01:02:15.220 Well,

01:02:15.720 that,

01:02:16.020 ladies and 0.98

01:02:16.380 gentlemen,

01:02:17.680 concludes the

01:02:20.120 best live

01:02:20.680 stream you've

01:02:21.180 ever seen.

01:02:22.040 I'm going to

01:02:22.540 get back to

01:02:23.060 mocking my

01:02:23.940 critics,

01:02:25.700 the ones who

01:02:26.280 are making

01:02:26.640 bad Garfield

01:02:27.420 references to

01:02:28.220 me.

01:02:29.400 I've invited

01:02:30.280 everybody who

01:02:31.220 is a failed

01:02:32.020 writer or an

01:02:33.920 unsuccessful artist

01:02:34.980 to make

01:02:36.040 comments today

01:02:36.860 about my

01:02:37.720 one level

01:02:39.800 of my

01:02:40.280 skill stack.

01:02:41.660 And boy,

01:02:42.100 are they.

01:02:43.620 So whenever

01:02:44.560 I get them

01:02:45.140 today,

01:02:45.560 I'm just going

01:02:46.080 to retweet

01:02:46.680 my invitation

01:02:49.540 for them to

01:02:50.140 do it.

01:02:51.740 Oh,

01:02:52.120 my mascot

01:02:52.840 came back.

01:02:53.920 I was worried

01:02:54.500 that Keith

01:02:55.020 Olbermann maybe

01:02:55.960 was injured

01:02:56.520 or dead,

01:02:57.880 but he came

01:02:58.580 back today.

01:02:59.740 So he's

01:03:01.300 on me again

01:03:02.300 today.

01:03:03.200 And my

01:03:04.340 mascot,

01:03:04.980 is awesome.

01:03:11.140 All right.

01:03:11.780 Well,

01:03:11.960 if I can get

01:03:12.500 Keith Olbermann

01:03:13.200 to be mad

01:03:14.340 at me on

01:03:14.740 Twitter,

01:03:15.920 it's a good

01:03:16.760 day.

01:03:23.400 Okay.

01:03:27.440 The Dilbert

01:03:28.260 you helped

01:03:28.700 with was

01:03:29.600 published today.

01:03:30.540 Good.

01:03:31.700 Oh,

01:03:31.900 about the

01:03:32.700 one about

01:03:33.080 not getting

01:03:33.580 everything back

01:03:34.200 in the

01:03:34.420 packaging?

01:03:35.680 Yeah,

01:03:35.920 that did

01:03:36.220 come from,

01:03:36.840 I think

01:03:37.160 that did

01:03:37.460 come from

01:03:37.800 you.

01:03:40.660 Pardoning

01:03:41.020 would be

01:03:41.360 genius.

01:03:41.920 Pardoning

01:03:42.220 who?

01:03:42.400 Pardoning

01:03:42.500 who?

01:03:49.120 So there's

01:03:50.460 a lot of

01:03:50.800 noise about

01:03:51.320 Andrew Tate.

01:03:53.200 Is anybody

01:03:53.760 watching all

01:03:54.700 the attention

01:03:56.080 the attention

01:03:56.100 he's getting?

01:03:56.560 Andrew Tate?

01:03:59.660 He's kind

01:04:00.440 of fascinating

01:04:00.920 because he's,

01:04:01.820 if you don't

01:04:04.000 know him,

01:04:04.440 just imagine

01:04:05.080 Andrew

01:04:06.100 Dice Clay,

01:04:07.760 but without

01:04:08.460 the creativity,

01:04:11.300 but with

01:04:11.800 the strong

01:04:12.860 homoerotic

01:04:13.940 undertones.

01:04:17.260 Yeah.

01:04:17.420 so just

01:04:18.980 imagine

01:04:19.300 Andrew

01:04:19.820 Dice Clay,

01:04:21.700 but

01:04:21.960 homoerotic.

01:04:23.920 Now,

01:04:24.460 I'm not

01:04:24.740 saying he's

01:04:25.120 gay, 0.74

01:04:25.460 I'm just

01:04:25.700 saying that's

01:04:26.100 how he

01:04:27.160 presents

01:04:28.020 himself.

01:04:29.520 So,

01:04:30.760 he's doing

01:04:32.420 a good job

01:04:32.900 of getting

01:04:33.140 attention,

01:04:34.940 but being

01:04:36.280 the Andrew

01:04:37.780 Dice Clay

01:04:38.440 Jr.

01:04:39.460 with

01:04:39.780 homoerotic

01:04:40.560 overtones,

01:04:42.080 I don't know,

01:04:42.520 I don't know how

01:04:42.940 far that can

01:04:43.480 take him,

01:04:43.860 but it's

01:04:44.140 taken him

01:04:44.480 pretty far

01:04:44.860 so far.

01:04:48.300 The Nation

01:04:49.040 in Decline

01:04:49.580 video,

01:04:50.360 it bored me.

01:04:52.100 I tried to

01:04:52.740 watch the

01:04:53.340 video,

01:04:55.200 I guess Trump

01:04:55.680 did a Nation

01:04:56.240 in Decline,

01:04:57.060 and tried to

01:04:57.960 tie it to

01:04:58.400 the FBI

01:04:58.880 raid,

01:04:59.720 I don't know,

01:05:00.080 it bored me.

01:05:03.580 Did I mention

01:05:04.360 Dark Brandon?

01:05:05.640 Well,

01:05:06.040 it's so weak

01:05:06.760 that,

01:05:07.420 you know,

01:05:07.620 the Democrats

01:05:08.220 tried to do

01:05:09.600 what Republicans

01:05:10.280 do.

01:05:13.860 they tried

01:05:16.000 to take

01:05:16.820 the negative

01:05:17.300 stuff and

01:05:17.820 turn it into

01:05:18.320 positives,

01:05:18.880 because Trump

01:05:19.300 does that

01:05:19.660 all the time,

01:05:20.380 but they

01:05:20.940 can't quite

01:05:21.460 do it.

01:05:22.940 This whole

01:05:23.480 Dark Brandon

01:05:24.540 thing is trying

01:05:25.200 to make

01:05:25.560 Biden look

01:05:26.340 awesome,

01:05:27.100 which is

01:05:27.520 directly copying

01:05:28.480 the MAGA

01:05:29.740 people treating

01:05:31.400 Trump as

01:05:32.180 like a

01:05:32.660 god,

01:05:33.780 warrior kind

01:05:34.400 of thing.

01:05:35.480 They're just

01:05:35.980 not good at

01:05:36.600 it.

01:05:37.680 Oh,

01:05:37.940 the inflation

01:05:38.460 story.

01:05:40.120 The inflation

01:05:40.960 story was

01:05:41.540 hilarious.

01:05:42.760 So,

01:05:43.040 Joe Biden

01:05:43.480 getting up

01:05:43.940 there and

01:05:44.280 saying,

01:05:44.800 I've got

01:05:45.140 one number

01:05:45.660 to tell

01:05:45.980 you about

01:05:46.280 inflation.

01:05:47.280 Zero.

01:05:48.480 We had

01:05:48.980 zero

01:05:49.480 inflation.

01:05:51.540 And then

01:05:52.160 everybody

01:05:52.460 said,

01:05:53.000 uh,

01:05:54.080 inflation

01:05:54.560 is up

01:05:55.080 8.5%.

01:05:56.360 But what

01:05:57.560 he meant

01:05:57.880 is,

01:05:58.260 it didn't

01:05:58.640 get any

01:05:59.020 worse than

01:05:59.500 that.

01:06:00.660 Now,

01:06:01.380 is it

01:06:01.760 technically

01:06:02.380 accurate

01:06:03.080 that if

01:06:04.300 your inflation

01:06:04.880 rate is

01:06:05.360 8.5%

01:06:06.360 and it

01:06:07.600 doesn't get

01:06:08.140 bigger than

01:06:08.700 that,

01:06:09.760 that you've

01:06:10.220 ended

01:06:10.400 inflation?

01:06:10.880 I feel

01:06:14.580 like that

01:06:16.440 was the

01:06:16.860 sort of

01:06:17.440 data that

01:06:18.000 the president

01:06:18.520 should have

01:06:19.300 a little

01:06:19.620 firmer grasp

01:06:20.600 on.

01:06:21.680 Is there

01:06:22.420 inflation or

01:06:23.280 no?

01:06:24.400 Now,

01:06:24.940 here's how I

01:06:25.560 interpret it.

01:06:26.980 If you had

01:06:28.000 a one-time

01:06:28.780 price increase

01:06:29.580 of 8.5%

01:06:30.740 and then

01:06:32.080 nothing ever

01:06:32.660 increased after

01:06:33.380 that,

01:06:34.740 well,

01:06:35.040 then yes,

01:06:35.480 that would be

01:06:35.800 the end of

01:06:36.180 inflation.

01:06:37.260 So I think

01:06:37.800 that's how

01:06:38.180 Biden understood

01:06:39.100 it.

01:06:40.020 I think

01:06:40.360 he understood

01:06:40.920 it as

01:06:41.380 prices went

01:06:42.420 up,

01:06:42.940 but now

01:06:43.480 they're not

01:06:43.800 going up

01:06:44.180 anymore.

01:06:46.580 However,

01:06:47.260 that's not

01:06:47.860 what that

01:06:48.200 8.5%

01:06:49.080 means.

01:06:50.200 What it

01:06:50.520 means is

01:06:50.940 that's a

01:06:51.360 rolling

01:06:51.760 forever,

01:06:52.800 everything's

01:06:53.260 going up

01:06:53.660 8.5%

01:06:54.760 as we

01:06:55.960 go.

01:06:56.460 Now,

01:06:56.760 that gets

01:06:57.020 revised

01:06:57.420 every month

01:06:58.040 when you

01:06:58.380 see your

01:06:58.700 actuals,

01:06:59.920 but yeah,

01:07:01.960 the fact

01:07:02.680 that that

01:07:03.000 8.5%

01:07:04.000 stayed stable

01:07:05.000 is the

01:07:06.020 opposite of

01:07:06.880 not having

01:07:07.360 inflation.

01:07:07.820 That would

01:07:08.740 be having

01:07:09.280 a lot

01:07:09.600 of

01:07:09.700 inflation.

01:07:10.920 Tons of

01:07:11.320 it.

01:07:11.780 8.5%

01:07:12.520 is a lot.

01:07:18.400 Yeah.

01:07:20.700 Please don't

01:07:21.380 get distracted

01:07:22.000 from ESG.

01:07:23.320 So ESG,

01:07:24.220 I've got a

01:07:25.360 week or more

01:07:26.080 of comics

01:07:26.820 coming on

01:07:28.420 that topic.

01:07:29.460 I think

01:07:29.720 that's

01:07:30.040 September,

01:07:30.740 you'll see

01:07:31.000 those.

01:07:31.560 And I'll

01:07:31.840 talk more

01:07:32.220 about that

01:07:32.820 then.

01:07:35.040 Do I

01:07:35.800 ever jam

01:07:36.280 with other

01:07:36.660 musicians?

01:07:37.060 Only my

01:07:37.860 drum

01:07:39.080 teacher who

01:07:39.740 plays the

01:07:40.220 guitar.

01:07:41.360 So we

01:07:41.860 do jam.

01:07:44.300 My lesson

01:07:45.120 is mostly

01:07:45.580 jamming

01:07:46.000 these days.

01:07:54.000 The

01:07:54.520 Inflation

01:07:55.160 Reduction

01:07:55.600 Act is

01:07:56.140 in trouble

01:07:56.480 because of

01:07:56.960 the FBI

01:07:57.360 raid?

01:07:58.000 Is it?

01:07:58.920 I don't

01:07:59.220 know.

01:07:59.400 Have I

01:08:04.300 bought a

01:08:04.600 new guitar?

01:08:05.240 No.

01:08:05.620 Probably for

01:08:06.100 Christmas.

01:08:07.060 All right.

01:08:13.840 I need a

01:08:14.600 bassist,

01:08:15.060 you're right.

01:08:19.520 An open

01:08:22.380 jam.

01:08:24.440 I don't

01:08:25.000 think I'm

01:08:25.340 up to

01:08:25.720 quite jamming

01:08:26.600 with anybody

01:08:27.120 except my

01:08:27.700 music teacher

01:08:29.540 right now.

01:08:30.600 All right,

01:08:31.080 that's all I

01:08:31.420 got for now.

01:08:31.920 and I

01:08:33.720 think you'd

01:08:34.120 agree this

01:08:34.580 is the

01:08:34.940 best

01:08:35.180 live stream

01:08:35.660 you've

01:08:35.860 ever

01:08:36.000 seen.

01:08:37.660 And

01:08:38.100 what about

01:08:40.620 dreams?

01:08:42.600 We'll get

01:08:43.040 to that.

01:08:45.140 And now,

01:08:46.560 I say

01:08:47.280 goodbye to

01:08:47.980 YouTube,

01:08:48.900 and I'm

01:08:49.240 going to

01:08:49.420 talk a

01:08:49.720 little bit

01:08:49.960 more to

01:08:50.260 the locals

01:08:50.600 people.

01:08:50.940 Bye for

01:08:51.800 now.
