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.
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.
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
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
00:18:08.820 and shoving
00:18:09.460 your fingers
00:18:09.900 up his ass.
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
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,
00:21:01.940 complain,
00:21:02.680 complain,
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
