Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1868 Scott Adams： Find Out Why Republicans and Democrats Are Different

00:00:00.000 Good morning everybody and welcome to one of the highlights of your entire life and I think it'll

00:00:17.520 be special for me too. If you think that yesterday was good well ha ha ha on you. Today even better

00:00:25.040 and wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow? Tomorrow is going to be amazing. But let's think about that while we

00:00:32.480 have a cupper mug or a glass of tanker gel, a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind that we will

00:00:38.640 fill with our favorite liquids. I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the

00:00:45.380 dopamine hit of the day thing that makes everything better. It's called the Simultaneous Sip. It's coming at you now. Go.

00:00:55.040 Ah. It's like knowledge and love all in the same sip.

00:01:06.860 You can barely tell which is the knowledge and which is the sip.

00:01:09.700 Well I was happy yesterday watching on The Five as Greg Gottfeld was talking about and I think didn't

00:01:21.040 Trump say something about this? That the only way to handle the homeless problem is to get them out of

00:01:26.680 the cities. There's plenty of space. There must be government land. There must be a farmer who

00:01:33.060 wouldn't mind you know using the land and just let them camp because the public is largely not under the

00:01:43.220 impression that well the public largely thinks that the problem is they don't have a house but the real

00:01:50.460 problem is they don't want to be in a house. So let them live the life they want to live. Do their

00:01:55.460 drugs, sleep in tents and let them have the life they want but away from the people who want a different

00:02:02.460 life. And it made me wonder is that where we're heading with Democrats and Republicans where we'll

00:02:10.360 just have a country where eventually you have a purely Republican state and a purely Democrat state and

00:02:17.360 they look real different. Are we heading to that? We might be. Anyway, there's literally no other

00:02:26.720 solution for the homeless. Would you agree? Would you agree that there's literally no other solution

00:02:36.840 for the homeless? The ones that want to be outside. You have to keep them outside. Just move them away

00:02:43.620 from the businesses that they're destroying. And yeah, and Trump said that as well. Now, why would

00:02:52.760 that even be controversial? Can you think of a reason? Because I'm assuming that whatever support

00:02:59.620 services exist in the cities could be, you know, poured out. I don't know. I don't really

00:03:05.940 understand. Well, yeah, Chaz was a problem because they tried to take over other people's

00:03:11.540 place. Do you know what would he be? Physicist and astronomer? Neil deGrasse Tyson? Dyson? You

00:03:20.980 all know him. Famous, I guess, astronomer? Scientist. I saw a little reel on him in which he was

00:03:32.200 explaining why he used to believe we were a simulation, like Elon Musk explains, but he's

00:03:38.380 decided that we're not. And I want you to hear a scientist's description of why logically we are not

00:03:47.060 a simulation. And then you have to decide, has he debunked the simulation or has he debunked scientists

00:03:57.060 are smart? One of those two things is going to get debunked now. Are you ready? Either the simulation

00:04:03.420 theory will be just destroyed or I will show that famous scientists are really not that bright, really

00:04:10.500 not that bright. Here's his argument. That the simulation would assume that if ever there was a

00:04:20.000 real civilization that built a simulation, that that simulation would eventually build its own

00:04:27.580 simulation. And so it would be simulation on top of simulation and the odds of us being an original

00:04:34.440 simulation, the original species are very low. So that's the argument for the simulation.

00:04:40.500 Here's Neil deGrasse Tyson's argument why he no longer thinks that's reasonable and he doesn't

00:04:48.080 believe it. Because he says, we can't build a simulation right now. So we must be the original

00:04:56.700 because we can't do it. Or we're the last. Now, if we're the last one, meaning that for some

00:05:07.600 reason we're a simulation that doesn't know how to make a simulation, that still allows

00:05:12.800 that we're a simulation. So the first, the first error in his reasoning is when he says

00:05:17.920 we're either the first, meaning an original species, or we're the last simulation. If we're

00:05:24.340 the last simulation, we're a simulation. So his own argument that he doesn't believe in

00:05:30.660 the simulation, because it's possible that we are one. It doesn't even make sense. There are two

00:05:37.700 possibilities. And we already knew there were two possibilities. We are one or we're not. And then part

00:05:43.500 of his argument is, well, we are one or we're not. Those were the options before. The next one is, and then

00:05:52.940 the other part is, that we can't build a simulation now. Imagine a scientist saying that, that we can't

00:05:59.860 build a simulation that believes it's a simulation. I could write that code myself. Like, actually,

00:06:08.020 literally, I could write code that's a code that describes an entity, a person. And then whenever

00:06:17.360 it's asked the question, are you real, it will say, I'm totally real. Yeah, I'm real. And then I won't

00:06:25.700 be able to tell from the outside whether it has any internal thoughts. But it's going to look like a

00:06:30.560 simulation to me. You tell me we can't build that simulation? Now, what about the better simulation,

00:06:36.540 where the simulation actually believes it's real? We could totally make that. The reason that people

00:06:44.900 think we can't make a simulation where the simulation believes it's real is always based

00:06:51.440 on magic. Humans have magic inside them, and therefore it's impossible to program something

00:06:59.220 that also has magic in it, like free will and a soul and a spirit. Magic, basically. So, no. If you start

00:07:09.220 with the assumption, I'm a scientist who believes in magic, and now let me tell you why we can't be a

00:07:14.460 simulation. That's not a logical argument. And next, he assumes that if we can't make a simulation

00:07:23.800 right now, that we must be an original species. But wouldn't even the simulation have to wait a

00:07:31.520 while before it built a simulation? The day a simulation is created, do we create it at exactly

00:07:38.580 the moment it can make another simulation? Or do we create a simulation that has to evolve the way we

00:07:44.320 evolved, at least a little bit, before it can make a simulation? So none of his argument makes any

00:07:50.660 sense. It does open the possibility that we're not a simulation, but it doesn't, it doesn't,

00:07:56.640 there's no logical cohesion to the argument at all. So what do you think is the answer to the

00:08:03.080 question? And independent from whether we're a simulation, so I'm only talking about whether

00:08:08.240 Martha's argument is good, not whether it's true or false. Is the argument good? It doesn't look like

00:08:14.700 a good argument to me. So that worries me a little bit. So the immigrants being shipped by bus to

00:08:23.160 Martha's Vineyard, so that the lefties can figure out what to do with all the immigrants who are coming

00:08:28.680 in, continues to be hilarious. Continues to be hilarious. And the more you watch the Democrats

00:08:41.140 complain, the funnier it gets. And I don't think they realize that the more they complain,

00:08:47.420 the more the Republicans like it. Because they don't have anything. All they have is you're playing

00:08:55.880 pawns with human lives. You're playing pawns by taking and shipping them to a nice place.

00:09:04.600 Now, Martha's Vineyard says the problem is we don't have a social infrastructure that can handle

00:09:11.200 these people. And then what do the Republicans say? You mean just like Texas? You mean just like

00:09:20.160 Arizona? You mean just like California? That's the whole point. If all of those states had plenty

00:09:27.960 of resources to take care of them, we wouldn't even be talking about it. The whole point is that

00:09:33.280 nobody has the resources. And yeah, we get that you can't handle a busload of 150. And maybe Texas

00:09:40.680 as a state, maybe they can handle thousands or hundreds of thousands. That's true. But in both

00:09:46.760 cases, there's a limit to how many they can take. Maybe Martha's Vineyard's limit is 150. Could be.

00:09:55.480 Maybe Texas's limit is a few hundred thousand per year. But they both have a limit. If you act like

00:10:02.540 there's no limit to what anybody can handle, you're just being a fucking idiot. Everybody's got a limit.

00:10:08.840 So welcome to your limit, Martha's Vineyard. You just found your limit. Just the fact that it's

00:10:14.760 smaller than somebody else's limit doesn't mean anything. It just means you both can't do it.

00:10:20.680 That's all it means.

00:10:25.740 Have you noticed this? It's hard to miss it. But every time Republicans and Democrats disagree,

00:10:33.920 not every time, this isn't complete absolute, but it seems like there's a consistent pattern.

00:10:39.440 The Republicans are focusing on fixing inefficient systems. Let's say the immigration system.

00:10:49.200 And Democrats are focused on killing the messenger.

00:10:56.000 So Republicans are trying to defeat a bad system to replace it with something more efficient,

00:11:03.000 usually something free market, something that has fewer regulations.

00:11:10.440 And while they're trying to do that, which presumably would be good for everybody,

00:11:15.360 the Democrats' entire job is to say that the Republicans are racist, Hitler assholes.

00:11:23.200 It's so different, isn't it?

00:11:25.500 We're not really even talking about what system works well, are we?

00:11:28.920 There's no conversation about what system works better.

00:11:32.600 There's only conversation that one group is Nazis.

00:11:36.780 One group has an idea for fixing things, and the other group says that group is Nazis.

00:11:41.740 That's it.

00:11:43.100 All they have is frightening you about how their character and their preferences are going to be scary for you if they get power.

00:11:50.820 And somehow we act like we can't notice this.

00:11:54.200 Maybe we should notice that only one side is even talking about governing.

00:11:59.880 The other side isn't even talking about governing.

00:12:02.640 I mean, it doesn't seem like it.

00:12:04.300 It's basically, even when they implement a system, the system is to insult the other people.

00:12:12.620 Right?

00:12:13.040 So, critical race theory.

00:12:14.740 You could say to yourself, okay, Scott, that's Democrats trying to improve the system.

00:12:18.740 But they've improved the system with the express point of insulting Republicans.

00:12:25.940 Basically.

00:12:27.340 Right?

00:12:27.900 So, even their systems are built to insult other residents.

00:12:34.440 Really?

00:12:35.360 You're building a system to shoot other messengers and insult other people?

00:12:41.540 Well, the Republicans are just trying to make things efficient so everybody can use it?

00:12:45.440 All right.

00:12:48.740 Likewise, even though nobody says this directly, it seems as if Republicans think that money is created by hard work and smart risk-taking.

00:13:02.420 Is that fair?

00:13:04.080 Republicans believe that money is created out of nothing by hard work.

00:13:10.100 I mean, that's not nothing.

00:13:11.560 Out of hard work and the right kind of risk-taking, you know, entrepreneurial risk-taking.

00:13:16.320 And Democrats believe that all the money that will ever be created has already been made.

00:13:24.600 And somebody has theirs.

00:13:26.500 If they can only get their fair share from the people who worked hard and took intelligent risks,

00:13:32.080 then everybody would be in good shape.

00:13:33.480 And somehow, somehow, the election is close.

00:13:41.960 According to Rasmussen, the midterms are now in dead heat between the generic Republican and the, you know,

00:13:51.100 I think it's like one point difference, but it's lost in the rounding.

00:13:54.620 There's basically no difference now.

00:13:56.280 There's literally one side, their entire message is, let's see how badly we can insult these other people who are in our country.

00:14:05.520 And one side is working on systems improvement.

00:14:09.080 And it's a tie.

00:14:11.960 It's a fucking tie.

00:14:14.940 So there's your country.

00:14:16.200 The funniest story of the day is that Don Lemon is being moved by CNN from his evening program to a morning show.

00:14:26.500 I would like to give you my impression of Don Lemon explaining that his movement from a show in which he would get half a million viewers

00:14:34.460 to a show in which he would be one of three hosts getting 125,000 viewers.

00:14:40.860 And being completely taken out of the political argument by being put on the morning when it's a different audience.

00:14:50.820 Now, here's my impression of Don Lemon explaining last night that it's really a promotion.

00:14:58.440 Well, yeah, I had a choice.

00:15:00.520 I totally could have said no.

00:15:03.500 And it looks like a great opportunity.

00:15:06.680 And I'm totally, no, people are saying I'm being demoted.

00:15:09.500 No, no, no, no.

00:15:12.500 Not being demoted.

00:15:14.080 It's like I'm being promoted, in a way, if you think about it.

00:15:18.060 Like, in a way, it's like a promotion.

00:15:20.120 Can I get that morning show that I've always been wanting but I never mentioned before?

00:15:24.860 And watching him do it was fucking hilarious.

00:15:29.220 But here's the best part.

00:15:30.860 You ready for the best part?

00:15:31.840 I'm trying to imagine the new CEO, Chris Light, I think.

00:15:38.900 I don't know how to pronounce his name.

00:15:40.760 L-I-C-H-T.

00:15:41.880 Licked Light.

00:15:43.340 Don't know.

00:15:45.500 But I'm trying to imagine the new CEO planning how he's going to tell Don Lemon that he'd like to move him to the morning.

00:15:55.320 And then he realizes, the CEO realizes, oh, wait.

00:16:01.640 Don Lemon's the guy who believes every hoax that's ever been offered.

00:16:05.680 He literally believes anything.

00:16:09.160 So the CEO told him he was getting promoted.

00:16:16.200 And he believed it.

00:16:17.560 So how do you demote somebody who believes every hoax?

00:16:26.620 Every hoax.

00:16:27.800 You tell them they got promoted.

00:16:30.900 And he can't tell the fucking difference.

00:16:33.520 The entire reason he's getting demoted is he can't tell the difference between good news and bad news.

00:16:38.680 Am I right?

00:16:39.160 He's a guy who, by our observation, it is clearly obvious that he can't tell what's true and what isn't.

00:16:47.960 He doesn't know the difference between good news and bad.

00:16:50.900 So if you have an employee who doesn't know the difference between good news and bad news,

00:16:55.820 you don't really need to worry about demoting them.

00:16:59.440 Because they'll think it was a promotion if you tell them it was.

00:17:03.720 I don't think anything could be funnier than that.

00:17:06.080 Using Don Lemon's own gullibility to demote him into thinking he got promoted.

00:17:12.920 I'm sorry.

00:17:14.600 I will never be more entertained than by that story.

00:17:19.380 All right.

00:17:25.200 Apparently Politico has new German ownership that wants it to shift toward actual news

00:17:32.260 and away from being hyper-partisan left.

00:17:36.080 So now Politico is moving to the center and CNN is trying to move to the center.

00:17:41.360 We'll see.

00:17:42.080 Is that some kind of a shift?

00:17:44.560 We'll see.

00:17:46.500 Biden trotted out the fine people hoax again.

00:17:50.260 And he's highlighting it again.

00:17:52.180 He didn't just trot it out.

00:17:53.600 He's highlighting it.

00:17:55.460 The most easily debunked hoax of all hoaxes.

00:17:59.420 You simply have to just read the transcript.

00:18:02.440 That's it.

00:18:03.720 And it's debunked.

00:18:04.700 There's no extra explanation needed.

00:18:07.000 Nothing.

00:18:07.920 Just look at the transcript.

00:18:09.160 Oh, okay.

00:18:10.020 They left out that part.

00:18:11.420 If you don't leave it out, it says the opposite of what you said.

00:18:14.960 That's it.

00:18:15.440 And the Democrats have so thoroughly succeeded in brainwashing, at least their people, that

00:18:25.360 they can highlight it as a central theme years after it's been debunked thoroughly.

00:18:30.960 And their viewers can't tell the difference.

00:18:35.900 The Democrat base actually has no access to anything like reality.

00:18:41.760 Because otherwise, you couldn't do this.

00:18:43.800 You could never get away with this if Democrats had access to the news.

00:18:49.480 Am I right?

00:18:50.840 How could you possibly get away with this if Democrats had access to the news?

00:18:58.520 Now, here's the real test, CNN.

00:19:00.960 Because I know you're watching.

00:19:03.480 There's definitely somebody from CNN watching this.

00:19:07.020 If you didn't know that the find people thing was a hoax, go look at the full transcript,

00:19:11.920 and it's easy to see yourself.

00:19:13.540 Or you can just Google find people hoax, and you'll see lots of people debunking it, including

00:19:18.580 me.

00:19:20.260 Now, CNN says that it's pivoting toward real news.

00:19:25.280 Do you think that those remaining of CNN would be able to debunk the find people hoax under

00:19:33.320 the new management?

00:19:35.500 Could they just say, he didn't say that?

00:19:39.100 Here's what he actually said.

00:19:40.520 And then just read his actual quote.

00:19:43.420 Could they do it?

00:19:44.340 Could Politico do it?

00:19:46.620 Or maybe they have.

00:19:47.680 I don't know.

00:19:48.360 Politico might have.

00:19:49.160 So this is a question for CNN.

00:19:53.940 If CNN wants to prove that they're serious, they have to debunk the find people hoax.

00:20:02.300 Anything short of debunking that means that CNN was never serious.

00:20:07.500 Never serious about finding the middle.

00:20:09.880 Because that's just a fact that that was a hoax.

00:20:15.440 Yeah, and the bleach thing, too.

00:20:17.860 But the bleach thing, at least they have some tortured argument why they're really right,

00:20:23.100 even though they're obviously wrong.

00:20:25.100 But with the find people hoax, you just have to read the transcript.

00:20:28.060 It's right there in plain language.

00:20:30.820 If they can't debunk that one, they're not serious about being a real news network.

00:20:35.440 Well, over in Ukraine, five Russian-installed officials, meaning, I guess that means probably

00:20:46.580 Ukrainian people that were Russian puppets, but five of them were killed in the occupied

00:20:54.340 Ukrainian territory.

00:20:55.540 Now, they weren't all together, so there were five different assassinations of people working

00:21:01.660 with Russia to keep occupied.

00:21:05.440 And let me read to you about the Russian military successes on the ground.

00:21:12.680 You've heard that Russia's sent some missiles and taken out a bunch of infrastructure in

00:21:17.920 Ukraine, but have you heard about the news about the Russian military on the ground and

00:21:23.700 all of their successful military actions in the last couple of weeks?

00:21:29.200 What?

00:21:31.200 What?

00:21:31.540 No?

00:21:32.520 You haven't heard the news about the Russian successes on the ground?

00:21:37.780 There haven't been any.

00:21:40.440 As far as I can tell, has it been how many weeks?

00:21:46.540 When was the last time Russians had anything like an increase in territory?

00:21:51.080 Three weeks?

00:21:54.840 Five weeks?

00:21:56.740 But they've been losing territory for two weeks?

00:22:01.100 Oh, today?

00:22:02.540 Is there something happening today?

00:22:06.420 Oh, the Wagner group is surrounding Bakhmut in Donbass.

00:22:10.640 Are you saying that the Ukrainians are in the Donbass?

00:22:15.880 That would mean that they've already pushed into there.

00:22:20.940 The entire Ukrainian offensive is now trapped behind floodwaters from the dam.

00:22:26.020 Oh, now that would be interesting.

00:22:27.660 Because part of the news was that Russia took on a dam.

00:22:30.220 Was that strategic?

00:22:33.360 Was that a battlefield strategy or just punishing?

00:22:36.640 If that was a battlefield strategy and it trapped the Ukrainian, wow.

00:22:43.440 It's both.

00:22:49.740 Wow.

00:22:50.900 Did the dam take out any military when it broke?

00:22:54.100 Forces are now stranded on the East Bank.

00:23:02.440 Oh, my goodness.

00:23:04.020 So that's today's news, right?

00:23:06.400 I didn't see that.

00:23:07.500 I didn't see that news.

00:23:08.960 So I guess the only place you can get news like that is Twitter and Telegram, right?

00:23:16.080 Interesting.

00:23:17.300 So now things are going to get interesting.

00:23:19.460 But have the Russians retaken any territory?

00:23:26.940 So it sounds like they're trying.

00:23:29.460 They swept away the pontoon bridges.

00:23:35.320 The Donbass is like the south in the USA.

00:23:39.700 It's been news for a few days.

00:23:42.700 Does it seem like the regular news has a little blackout on Ukraine?

00:23:46.480 Or they just don't know what's happening?

00:23:49.940 Is that what's happening?

00:23:50.640 They don't have as much original reporting?

00:23:53.360 Because I'm not sure we can believe anything.

00:23:56.500 All right.

00:23:56.820 Well, I'll go read up on the updates in Ukraine.

00:24:00.440 But I'm going to stick with my prior statement

00:24:03.620 that although the Russians may have done something strategically good,

00:24:08.240 they have not yet changed the nature of the war.

00:24:12.120 So we'll see.

00:24:14.220 Maybe they will.

00:24:16.480 I saw the story about the, maybe it was the Wagner Group,

00:24:20.980 who were using Russian prisoners as recruits

00:24:25.020 and saying, you know, there's a video, I don't know if it's real,

00:24:29.440 it looked realish, but they were saying,

00:24:33.260 hey, you Russian prisoners, you can get out of jail

00:24:35.400 if you go fight for six months.

00:24:40.200 And this raises an interesting question.

00:24:42.440 Are not all of the military in the Russian army at the moment prisoners?

00:24:49.140 Because what does it mean to be a prisoner?

00:24:50.980 You're still a prisoner if you're working in the chain gang, right?

00:24:55.480 If you're doing cleanup on the side of the highway, you're still a prisoner,

00:24:59.520 even though you're not in the cell at that moment.

00:25:01.860 But if you don't have a choice, and you're not fighting for anything that's to your benefit,

00:25:08.340 such as defending your own country,

00:25:11.820 aren't you just a prisoner if you're in the military?

00:25:15.860 Because if you don't want to be in the military, but you can't leave,

00:25:19.580 and you're not fighting for something that's in your benefit,

00:25:24.160 you know, just like the prisoners cleaning up the trash on the road,

00:25:26.960 they have to go back to jail.

00:25:29.160 They're not going to be driving that road, so it's not for their benefit.

00:25:32.860 To me, I don't really see the difference between the Russian military

00:25:36.760 and prisoners who are forced to work.

00:25:41.600 And I wonder if the Russian military is starting to see that themselves,

00:25:46.180 meaning that, you know, once you get past the officer level,

00:25:49.980 you know, which is a career,

00:25:51.500 when you get to the actual fighting people,

00:25:53.340 are they not saying to each other, why are we here?

00:25:57.440 Like, what's in it for us?

00:26:01.720 Now, of course, they know that if they try to, you know, desert,

00:26:04.920 they'll be killed by their own team.

00:26:06.800 So they don't want to do that.

00:26:08.260 So they're in prison.

00:26:09.720 They can't leave, and there's nothing in it for them.

00:26:13.220 What do you call that?

00:26:15.060 Okay, do they get a paycheck?

00:26:17.320 Maybe they do.

00:26:18.860 But they're still in prison.

00:26:23.160 All right.

00:26:26.960 I talked to a woman born in Russia yesterday,

00:26:33.920 and she still has, you know, family in Russia,

00:26:36.520 and so I asked her, what's the mood in Russia?

00:26:39.940 Have any of you done that?

00:26:42.020 Because most of you probably know somebody who knows somebody who lives in Russia, right?

00:26:46.480 Have you gotten...

00:26:48.180 So let me tell you what I heard,

00:26:50.020 and then you tell me what you're hearing.

00:26:53.480 Number one, the older Russians are more supportive of Putin.

00:26:59.320 The reason given, and this is just, you know, by one person's observation,

00:27:04.080 is that Putin has been priming Russia for this move into Ukraine for so many years

00:27:10.120 that the older ones just sort of got used to this being, you know, Russia's fate or something.

00:27:16.800 So the old ones say, okay, Putin made us prosperous,

00:27:21.820 and Putin raised Russia's standing in the international community.

00:27:26.720 True or false?

00:27:27.500 I mean, until Ukraine, true or false?

00:27:30.760 Let's say true.

00:27:32.040 So the older ones are like, okay, we've seen bad times, and we've seen good times,

00:27:36.480 and Putin brought us better times.

00:27:38.960 So they're pretty supportive.

00:27:40.940 The younger ones, less so.

00:27:45.040 So that was the first thing I needed to know.

00:27:48.140 The second thing is that even the older ones

00:27:50.960 seem to now realize

00:27:53.220 that this is going to set Russia back 20 years.

00:27:57.740 They might still support it,

00:27:59.960 but even in supporting it,

00:28:01.620 they know that Russia just got

00:28:03.380 pushed into the biz bag for a long time.

00:28:08.420 So,

00:28:09.400 if everybody understands

00:28:11.700 that Putin is degrading Russia

00:28:14.360 for the next 20 years,

00:28:16.660 that's going to be bad for morale.

00:28:19.880 Really bad for morale.

00:28:22.280 All right.

00:28:23.220 Here's a...

00:28:26.280 This is very surprising.

00:28:28.140 You'll be so surprised by this.

00:28:30.300 Oh, how surprised you will be.

00:28:32.740 Hold on to your chairs,

00:28:34.980 because you might slide right out of your chair

00:28:36.880 in total surprise at this next story.

00:28:40.680 Who would have ever seen this coming?

00:28:42.500 The most unusual, unexpected, surprising thing

00:28:46.280 that could ever happen in America.

00:28:47.640 A former high-level FBI agent

00:28:50.640 who was involved in the Russiagate hoax,

00:28:58.020 so he was a big investigator in that.

00:29:01.660 He's being investigated now

00:29:04.860 for colluding with Russia.

00:29:06.160 Yeah.

00:29:11.120 That's right.

00:29:12.280 A former high-level FBI agent

00:29:14.220 who worked on the Russia collusion hoax

00:29:16.820 to frame,

00:29:18.820 basically to frame

00:29:20.140 Trump for colluding with Russia,

00:29:23.220 is being indicted.

00:29:24.760 He's not guilty.

00:29:26.320 He has not been found guilty.

00:29:27.580 So remember,

00:29:29.020 innocent until proven guilty,

00:29:30.500 even the FBI,

00:29:31.920 even if you're mad at the FBI,

00:29:34.060 innocent until proven guilty,

00:29:35.740 but indicted

00:29:36.460 for colluding

00:29:38.700 with Russia,

00:29:40.840 specifically some Russian billionaire.

00:29:43.540 Don't know the details.

00:29:45.780 Now,

00:29:46.000 are you surprised

00:29:46.840 that a high-ranking member

00:29:48.480 of the FBI

00:29:49.100 was colluding with Russia

00:29:50.640 while working on

00:29:51.980 the Russia collusion hoax?

00:29:55.700 Nope.

00:29:57.060 Nope.

00:29:58.200 That is not surprising at all.

00:30:00.540 I'm sorry.

00:30:01.480 If you think you're going to

00:30:02.620 surprise me with that,

00:30:04.480 you're going to have to work

00:30:05.300 a lot harder.

00:30:07.320 That

00:30:07.840 is right on the fucking nose.

00:30:11.300 Do you know what

00:30:12.200 Republicans always expect?

00:30:14.240 No,

00:30:14.480 I'm not a Republican,

00:30:15.500 but I know what they expect.

00:30:17.860 Do you know what

00:30:18.320 they always expect?

00:30:20.040 That if Republicans

00:30:21.400 are accused of anything,

00:30:24.140 what's that mean?

00:30:26.920 What's it mean

00:30:27.880 when a Republican

00:30:28.660 is accused

00:30:29.360 of a specific crime?

00:30:31.660 It means the Democrats

00:30:32.580 are doing it.

00:30:34.140 Then they're doing it

00:30:34.880 right now.

00:30:36.320 Every fucking time.

00:30:38.960 Boy,

00:30:39.200 the first time

00:30:39.760 I heard that theory,

00:30:41.580 that whatever

00:30:42.080 they accuse you of,

00:30:43.040 I think Tucker

00:30:43.620 probably said it first,

00:30:44.480 whatever they accuse you of

00:30:46.200 is what they're doing.

00:30:47.440 I said to myself,

00:30:48.360 wow,

00:30:49.480 no.

00:30:51.260 I mean,

00:30:51.580 no.

00:30:52.800 That's just,

00:30:54.100 you know,

00:30:54.420 you just notice it

00:30:55.500 because there are

00:30:55.980 a few cases like that.

00:30:57.700 So a few prominent cases

00:30:59.240 don't make any kind

00:31:00.460 of a pattern.

00:31:02.260 Right?

00:31:02.500 It's just,

00:31:03.060 it's confirmation bias.

00:31:05.000 They're not literally

00:31:06.380 accusing you

00:31:07.880 of the crimes

00:31:08.620 they're doing right now.

00:31:09.540 They're not literally

00:31:10.200 doing that.

00:31:10.820 but they are.

00:31:14.320 They are.

00:31:15.780 They're literally

00:31:16.780 accusing the Republicans

00:31:17.900 of the crimes

00:31:18.580 they're doing right now.

00:31:21.100 And the beauty of it

00:31:23.300 is that from

00:31:24.240 a persuasion perspective,

00:31:25.500 it really works well.

00:31:27.640 Probably the single

00:31:28.740 best way you can

00:31:29.700 make yourself

00:31:30.360 look innocent

00:31:30.980 is to preemptively

00:31:33.040 accuse somebody else

00:31:34.320 of the crime

00:31:34.820 you just committed.

00:31:35.520 The best way

00:31:37.800 you could look

00:31:38.380 innocent

00:31:38.760 of starting a fire,

00:31:41.400 well,

00:31:41.900 no,

00:31:42.100 that's not true.

00:31:43.380 Because I think

00:31:44.120 arsonists actually

00:31:45.000 do report the fire,

00:31:46.320 don't they?

00:31:47.320 That's a bad example.

00:31:50.240 They do report it,

00:31:51.420 right?

00:31:52.360 Is that true?

00:31:53.140 Arsonists report,

00:31:54.300 they're the first

00:31:54.800 on the scene,

00:31:56.240 but do they report it?

00:31:58.040 There's also

00:31:58.720 the people who

00:31:59.320 volunteer to help

00:32:00.220 look for the

00:32:01.140 lost little girl,

00:32:04.060 usually the guilty ones.

00:32:05.520 Anyway.

00:32:10.000 So that's happening.

00:32:15.000 There's a poll

00:32:15.840 on Christianity,

00:32:17.600 which used to be

00:32:20.020 90% of the country.

00:32:21.700 I think when I was a kid,

00:32:23.220 90% of the country

00:32:24.380 identified as Christian.

00:32:29.060 And now it's in the 60s.

00:32:31.300 And if the trend continues,

00:32:33.540 and these are not people

00:32:34.580 who are not religious,

00:32:38.200 they're simply not Christian.

00:32:40.240 So many of them

00:32:41.080 are non-denominational.

00:32:42.460 So they might say,

00:32:43.300 I'm spiritual,

00:32:44.420 I believe in God,

00:32:45.760 in Jesus,

00:32:46.420 but I don't have

00:32:47.240 a specific religion.

00:32:49.400 Although I would

00:32:50.240 call that Christian.

00:32:50.880 So it looks like

00:32:54.780 Christianity is going

00:32:56.660 to be a minority

00:32:59.720 of the people

00:33:00.680 in this country

00:33:01.360 if the trend continues.

00:33:03.620 What do you think?

00:33:05.060 You think the trend

00:33:05.740 will continue

00:33:06.380 or reverse?

00:33:09.500 I think it'll continue.

00:33:11.920 Because

00:33:12.460 it's correlated

00:33:14.320 with what?

00:33:16.540 You're going to hate this.

00:33:17.600 What is a decrease

00:33:20.480 in religion

00:33:21.920 correlated with?

00:33:24.060 Yeah,

00:33:24.600 it's correlated

00:33:25.080 with education.

00:33:26.660 Now,

00:33:27.220 I'm pro-religion.

00:33:29.400 Just in case you forgot,

00:33:31.000 I'm very pro-religion.

00:33:33.000 Because it seems to work.

00:33:35.520 My observation is

00:33:36.680 that the people

00:33:37.180 who have a religion

00:33:38.680 and practice it

00:33:39.840 and wrap their

00:33:41.320 life strategy around it

00:33:43.480 do pretty darn good.

00:33:45.700 Pretty darn good.

00:33:46.640 And now,

00:33:47.900 you could argue

00:33:48.380 that it's the

00:33:49.040 liberal education

00:33:51.260 that's causing people

00:33:52.300 to be less religious.

00:33:53.600 Probably.

00:33:54.680 Probably true.

00:33:57.060 But there will be

00:33:58.640 less of it.

00:34:00.260 Now,

00:34:00.640 here's why

00:34:01.560 that worries me.

00:34:04.120 Independent

00:34:04.560 of what religion

00:34:05.820 got it right,

00:34:06.780 we're not arguing that.

00:34:09.780 Christianity

00:34:10.380 works really well

00:34:11.560 with free markets,

00:34:12.560 doesn't it?

00:34:14.120 Have you noticed

00:34:14.720 how well that works?

00:34:15.580 Christianity

00:34:16.800 plus free markets

00:34:18.220 is your best combination.

00:34:20.360 It's not an accident

00:34:21.400 that the United States

00:34:22.700 did well.

00:34:23.900 It's when we combined

00:34:24.660 the two most powerful forces.

00:34:27.000 Christianity

00:34:27.520 plus

00:34:28.560 free markets.

00:34:31.740 Because if you have

00:34:32.640 free markets

00:34:33.240 without the Christianity,

00:34:34.580 what do you get?

00:34:36.820 What do you get?

00:34:38.560 Free market

00:34:39.240 with no Christianity.

00:34:41.080 Massive corruption.

00:34:45.020 How do you do a deal?

00:34:47.400 So the reason

00:34:48.200 that I might do

00:34:49.020 a deal with you

00:34:49.740 is that

00:34:50.220 I know that

00:34:51.320 you're worried

00:34:51.920 that God is watching.

00:34:54.840 It really helps.

00:34:57.240 I would definitely

00:34:58.240 do a deal

00:34:58.860 with somebody

00:34:59.820 who wore their religion

00:35:00.980 on their sleeve,

00:35:02.200 so you can really

00:35:03.060 see that they're religion.

00:35:03.980 I would definitely

00:35:05.040 do a deal

00:35:05.560 with a religious person,

00:35:07.080 Christian,

00:35:07.960 specifically.

00:35:09.800 I'm not ruling out

00:35:10.860 other religions,

00:35:11.580 I'm just talking

00:35:12.080 about Christianity.

00:35:13.540 I would do a deal

00:35:14.580 with a Christian

00:35:15.320 before I would do

00:35:17.800 a deal

00:35:18.060 with a non-Christian.

00:35:20.320 And I'm not a Christian.

00:35:22.520 It's just an observation

00:35:23.540 that they have

00:35:24.320 that little extra

00:35:25.160 God is watching you

00:35:26.880 thing

00:35:27.220 that works

00:35:28.820 to my advantage.

00:35:29.580 So I would definitely

00:35:32.520 discriminate

00:35:33.240 against non-Christians

00:35:34.980 in a business deal.

00:35:37.820 Is that even legal?

00:35:40.480 That's not legal,

00:35:41.460 is it?

00:35:42.360 I just realized

00:35:42.980 that's not legal.

00:35:44.460 But I would definitely

00:35:45.100 do it.

00:35:46.820 You know,

00:35:47.300 I wouldn't do it overtly,

00:35:48.580 but I could see

00:35:49.480 that I would be biased

00:35:50.420 by it.

00:35:51.040 You know what I mean?

00:35:52.160 Like I wouldn't

00:35:52.780 go out of my way

00:35:53.500 to turn somebody down

00:35:54.940 for not being a Christian.

00:35:56.080 I wouldn't do that.

00:35:57.400 But I'm sure

00:35:58.080 I would be biased

00:35:59.220 by a Christian

00:36:02.160 business person

00:36:03.640 because they'd have

00:36:04.680 just that little extra

00:36:05.760 somebody's watching me

00:36:07.120 thing that works

00:36:08.580 for my advantage.

00:36:11.700 Yeah.

00:36:12.840 All right.

00:36:16.140 So scientists

00:36:17.180 are using AI

00:36:18.300 to come up with

00:36:19.280 new proteins.

00:36:21.620 I guess the old way

00:36:23.080 of dreaming up

00:36:24.400 a new protein

00:36:25.040 was, you know,

00:36:26.920 massive trial and error

00:36:28.220 for years.

00:36:30.180 And then if you're lucky,

00:36:32.020 you've got some

00:36:32.860 combination that would

00:36:33.700 be in new protein.

00:36:34.860 Whereas the AI

00:36:35.760 can just say,

00:36:36.680 oh, how about

00:36:37.880 these hundred new proteins

00:36:39.200 I just came up

00:36:40.640 with right now?

00:36:41.800 And they could be

00:36:42.620 awesome.

00:36:43.680 Now, I don't know

00:36:45.580 how big a change

00:36:47.660 that is.

00:36:49.040 Because I'm not

00:36:50.080 scientifically literate

00:36:52.580 enough to know

00:36:53.960 how big a deal

00:36:54.900 it is if you can

00:36:56.060 design your own proteins.

00:36:57.700 But it feels like

00:36:58.860 it's pretty big.

00:37:00.320 Doesn't it?

00:37:02.400 Is there a scientist here?

00:37:05.660 It feels really big.

00:37:08.340 It feels really big.

00:37:10.100 So here are some

00:37:11.040 of the things that

00:37:11.580 AI will change forever

00:37:12.880 that you don't see coming.

00:37:14.860 Right?

00:37:15.920 Number one, energy.

00:37:18.620 Do you understand that one?

00:37:20.300 Do you know why

00:37:20.720 the energy market

00:37:21.640 will be completely

00:37:22.600 transformed by AI?

00:37:23.840 Because AI

00:37:26.440 can design,

00:37:28.760 well, it can operate

00:37:30.000 a new design

00:37:31.280 for a nuclear power plant

00:37:33.520 that will be

00:37:34.840 continuously adjusting

00:37:36.440 to optimize

00:37:37.320 the reaction

00:37:38.340 and reduce

00:37:40.480 the chance

00:37:40.940 of any problems.

00:37:42.280 It's something

00:37:43.140 we couldn't do before.

00:37:44.300 You need AI

00:37:44.900 to really rapidly

00:37:45.940 make changes

00:37:46.600 to keep everything stable.

00:37:48.840 So it probably

00:37:50.200 will be one of

00:37:50.960 the key technologies

00:37:51.920 for solving climate change.

00:37:55.140 It will invent things.

00:37:57.980 In 15 years,

00:38:01.080 there's always people

00:38:02.040 who believe that AI

00:38:02.820 is the next flying car,

00:38:04.800 meaning it's never

00:38:05.400 going to get here.

00:38:06.400 But flying cars

00:38:07.400 are going to get here.

00:38:08.520 By the way,

00:38:10.180 you know that flying cars

00:38:11.320 are guaranteed

00:38:12.020 in the future, right?

00:38:14.500 We're always waiting

00:38:15.360 for them,

00:38:15.760 but they are guaranteed

00:38:16.620 because batteries

00:38:18.460 will just keep getting better

00:38:19.720 and that's all you needed.

00:38:20.600 You just needed

00:38:22.060 an electric flying car

00:38:23.540 because AI

00:38:24.540 can also keep

00:38:26.680 your flying car

00:38:27.540 stable.

00:38:30.100 Right?

00:38:30.920 You can keep

00:38:31.740 your flying car

00:38:32.540 stable with AI

00:38:33.560 and then all you needed

00:38:35.220 was a battery

00:38:35.940 that was light enough

00:38:37.040 and powerful enough

00:38:37.980 and you're done.

00:38:39.220 All the other stuff

00:38:40.020 is just engineering,

00:38:41.100 like basic engineering.

00:38:42.560 The two hard parts

00:38:43.640 are the AI

00:38:44.360 to keep everything stable

00:38:46.480 when there are

00:38:47.800 lots of moving parts

00:38:48.780 and the battery.

00:38:51.560 Solved.

00:38:52.400 They're both solved.

00:38:58.080 So that's the big deal.

00:38:59.560 So we'll be

00:39:00.580 making people,

00:39:02.320 we'll be designing

00:39:03.040 more efficient networks,

00:39:04.460 we'll probably find

00:39:05.540 better ways

00:39:06.120 to keep the lights on,

00:39:07.740 maximize the grid.

00:39:10.140 I mean,

00:39:10.600 the number of things

00:39:11.680 that AI

00:39:12.160 could potentially do

00:39:13.380 is just insane.

00:39:14.880 All right.

00:39:20.420 That may be

00:39:21.460 just about

00:39:23.680 everything

00:39:24.100 I want to talk about.

00:39:30.400 They're just being

00:39:31.280 Christian.

00:39:34.900 So this business

00:39:37.260 of making Democrats

00:39:40.880 face their own

00:39:44.540 policies

00:39:45.260 is really good.

00:39:47.920 It's really good

00:39:48.580 persuasion.

00:39:50.040 But I think

00:39:50.740 the Republicans,

00:39:52.400 here's my basic take.

00:39:55.600 Democrats have opened

00:39:56.820 up this five-lane

00:39:58.020 highway of opportunity

00:39:59.400 for any Republican.

00:40:02.120 What would it take

00:40:03.420 for a Republican

00:40:04.840 to stay on the highway?

00:40:06.500 Just don't make

00:40:10.780 gigantic obvious mistakes.

00:40:13.280 That's it.

00:40:14.900 Just don't make

00:40:16.140 gigantic obvious mistakes.

00:40:19.740 And what are they doing?

00:40:21.760 What are the Republicans

00:40:22.840 doing instead?

00:40:25.040 They're making

00:40:25.740 gigantic obvious mistakes.

00:40:30.980 They're hammering on

00:40:33.100 abortion

00:40:35.960 to make that

00:40:36.720 a key thing

00:40:37.900 that people are

00:40:38.420 thinking about.

00:40:39.020 They can't possibly

00:40:39.740 work for Republicans.

00:40:42.020 I don't care

00:40:42.660 what principle

00:40:43.380 he was operating under.

00:40:45.120 If we're talking

00:40:45.600 strategy,

00:40:47.460 I just don't think

00:40:48.400 that was a strategy.

00:40:53.380 Now,

00:40:55.640 yeah.

00:41:01.200 Doesn't it seem

00:41:02.040 to you

00:41:02.480 that when the

00:41:03.900 whole country

00:41:04.500 appears to be

00:41:05.240 falling apart

00:41:05.980 and when things

00:41:07.980 were working well

00:41:08.800 under a Republican,

00:41:10.200 it should be

00:41:10.780 the easiest thing

00:41:11.780 in the world.

00:41:14.000 But I feel like

00:41:15.720 Republicans

00:41:17.400 can't stop

00:41:18.540 themselves

00:41:19.040 from making

00:41:20.140 crazy arguments.

00:41:22.800 Does anybody

00:41:23.600 feel that?

00:41:24.820 A lot of you

00:41:25.700 are lean right

00:41:26.900 if you're watching

00:41:27.800 this probably.

00:41:28.980 But do you feel

00:41:29.880 that Republicans

00:41:31.620 shoot themselves

00:41:32.480 in the foot?

00:41:33.760 They'll make

00:41:34.400 their strong

00:41:35.060 Republican argument

00:41:36.000 for free markets

00:41:37.060 and getting rid

00:41:38.600 of regulations

00:41:39.840 and stuff.

00:41:40.600 Stuff that sounds

00:41:41.240 pretty solid.

00:41:43.320 And then they'll

00:41:43.820 just throw in

00:41:44.600 something that's

00:41:45.840 batshit crazy.

00:41:49.120 Yeah.

00:41:49.660 Self-sabotage.

00:41:50.640 It looks like it.

00:41:51.540 Just like Trump.

00:41:52.420 Yeah.

00:41:53.060 The only thing

00:41:53.900 that could keep

00:41:54.800 Trump from

00:41:55.540 regaining the

00:41:56.360 presidency is Trump.

00:41:57.440 But Trump is

00:42:00.700 completely lacking

00:42:01.600 a positive message

00:42:02.560 as are the

00:42:03.220 Republicans in general.

00:42:04.620 What is the

00:42:05.080 positive message

00:42:05.860 of the Republicans?

00:42:07.700 We'll take you

00:42:08.500 back to 2020.

00:42:11.540 That's the message,

00:42:12.460 right?

00:42:12.840 For 2019.

00:42:13.900 Yeah, we'll take you

00:42:14.480 back to 2019.

00:42:16.340 Aren't you all

00:42:17.100 fired up about that?

00:42:19.000 Oh, we're going

00:42:20.320 back to 2019.

00:42:22.140 I can't wait.

00:42:23.400 That is the least

00:42:24.360 inspirational message

00:42:25.700 you could ever

00:42:26.900 have.

00:42:28.900 Let me tell you

00:42:29.660 an inspirational

00:42:30.280 message from a

00:42:32.700 Republican.

00:42:34.560 We're going to

00:42:35.200 solve climate

00:42:36.060 change, and I

00:42:39.220 don't even care

00:42:39.760 if it's real,

00:42:40.580 because we need

00:42:41.280 the energy, and

00:42:42.100 we need it to be

00:42:42.780 clean, and I'm

00:42:43.700 going to make

00:42:44.140 nuclear my focus,

00:42:45.960 and I'm going to

00:42:46.600 get rid of the

00:42:47.180 regulations that

00:42:48.400 are blocking the

00:42:49.520 new builds.

00:42:52.040 Just embrace

00:42:53.080 their topic.

00:42:54.640 Just say,

00:42:55.160 look,

00:42:55.700 you guys,

00:42:56.800 you made your

00:42:57.760 sale.

00:42:59.300 We're going to

00:42:59.960 go serious with

00:43:01.100 green energy,

00:43:02.280 but we're not

00:43:03.000 going to do it

00:43:03.520 the stupid way.

00:43:05.020 We're going to

00:43:05.640 do it the smart

00:43:06.260 way, because even

00:43:07.200 Elon Musk says

00:43:08.240 you're not going

00:43:08.840 to get away with

00:43:09.520 getting rid of

00:43:10.800 nuclear.

00:43:11.880 So I'm going to

00:43:12.660 agree with the

00:43:13.300 smartest guy in

00:43:14.020 the world,

00:43:15.180 Musk, about

00:43:16.000 energy probably.

00:43:18.040 We're going to

00:43:18.720 go crazy on the

00:43:20.240 thing that's green

00:43:20.880 energy, the best

00:43:22.000 one, and we're

00:43:23.680 going to solve

00:43:24.180 your climate

00:43:24.700 change for

00:43:25.260 you, even if

00:43:26.900 you don't

00:43:27.220 believe it's

00:43:27.720 real, because I'm

00:43:30.300 going to give you

00:43:30.760 so much cheap

00:43:31.600 energy that's

00:43:32.640 clean that if

00:43:34.120 climate change

00:43:34.820 isn't a problem,

00:43:35.780 you'll forget you're

00:43:36.580 ever worried about

00:43:37.280 it.

00:43:37.920 You're just going to

00:43:38.460 be glad you had

00:43:39.100 your cheap energy.

00:43:40.800 I will make you

00:43:41.700 forget that climate

00:43:42.540 change was a

00:43:43.200 problem, because

00:43:45.200 whether your problem

00:43:46.300 is you don't have

00:43:46.980 enough energy, or

00:43:49.080 your problem is

00:43:49.800 that you're putting

00:43:51.340 too much CO2 in

00:43:52.320 the air, I'll

00:43:53.060 solve both of

00:43:53.780 those problems, and

00:43:54.920 I don't even care

00:43:55.580 if one of them

00:43:56.120 wasn't real.

00:43:57.560 You can argue all

00:43:58.680 day whether climate

00:44:00.620 change is going to

00:44:01.500 destroy us in 80

00:44:02.440 years.

00:44:03.180 I'm going to make

00:44:03.900 sure it's not an

00:44:04.620 option.

00:44:06.680 I don't know if

00:44:07.460 climate change is

00:44:08.200 real.

00:44:08.500 I'm no scientist.

00:44:09.640 I'm going to make

00:44:10.340 sure there's no

00:44:10.940 risk, though, because

00:44:13.620 there's smart people

00:44:14.420 who say it is a

00:44:15.120 risk.

00:44:15.860 So I'm going to

00:44:16.460 make sure there is

00:44:17.020 no risk, and I'm

00:44:17.840 going to do it for

00:44:18.340 free.

00:44:19.680 And what I mean

00:44:20.340 by free is I'm

00:44:21.900 going to do what

00:44:22.480 you wanted me to

00:44:23.140 do anyway, which

00:44:24.380 is give you lots of

00:44:25.400 reliable, clean

00:44:26.280 energy.

00:44:27.500 It's also going to

00:44:28.600 solve your climate

00:44:29.260 change problem, and

00:44:30.700 if you Democrats

00:44:31.360 think that climate

00:44:32.500 change was a hoax,

00:44:34.020 keep thinking it.

00:44:34.880 It doesn't matter.

00:44:36.140 The problem's going

00:44:36.760 to go away either

00:44:37.520 way.

00:44:38.800 I'm going to solve

00:44:39.640 your problem even

00:44:40.380 if it isn't real.

00:44:41.620 I'll solve real

00:44:42.380 problems.

00:44:42.920 I'll solve imaginary

00:44:44.100 problems.

00:44:45.040 You send me a

00:44:45.840 problem, and I'm

00:44:46.420 going to work on

00:44:46.900 solving it.

00:44:47.700 And I'm going to

00:44:48.280 let you work on

00:44:49.100 whether I'm an

00:44:49.760 asshole.

00:44:51.040 How about you

00:44:51.640 guys think about

00:44:52.300 that?

00:44:53.140 Go back to your

00:44:53.760 rooms if you don't

00:44:54.480 want to be part of

00:44:55.080 the useful solutions,

00:44:56.580 if you don't want

00:44:57.180 a system that

00:44:57.900 works, if you don't

00:44:59.140 want a world that

00:44:59.900 works, why don't

00:45:01.100 you go back to

00:45:01.640 your rooms and

00:45:02.300 then think about

00:45:02.900 how big of an

00:45:03.800 asshole I am.

00:45:05.040 Because that's all

00:45:05.600 you're fucking good

00:45:06.380 for.

00:45:07.160 If you're not

00:45:07.840 going to help, go

00:45:09.060 back and complain to

00:45:10.260 each other about how

00:45:11.280 we're all Nazi

00:45:12.020 fucking assholes while

00:45:13.400 we're trying to save

00:45:14.380 your children's lives.

00:45:16.420 All right, I'll be

00:45:17.020 working on that, you

00:45:18.520 work on what a bad

00:45:19.420 character I have, and

00:45:20.760 that thing I tweeted

00:45:21.620 once.

00:45:22.640 All right, you go work

00:45:23.300 on that.

00:45:24.440 Prove to the country

00:45:25.360 that you have no

00:45:26.320 fucking value while

00:45:28.240 I'm working on saving

00:45:29.120 the country.

00:45:30.620 All right?

00:45:31.420 Now, you tell me that

00:45:33.740 Republicans can't win

00:45:34.940 everything.

00:45:36.700 How hard would it be?

00:45:39.320 They would just have to

00:45:40.400 not be stupid.

00:45:41.440 somebody on Locals is

00:45:45.300 saying that what I

00:45:46.340 just said was

00:45:46.900 brilliant.

00:45:47.520 It's not.

00:45:48.300 My whole point is

00:45:49.440 that it's easy.

00:45:50.600 It's not brilliant.

00:45:52.420 You just have to do

00:45:53.620 what Clinton did

00:45:54.540 brilliantly, which is

00:45:56.300 accept the other

00:45:57.480 person's argument and

00:45:58.800 then top it.

00:46:01.020 Rejecting the other

00:46:01.880 person's argument just

00:46:02.980 keeps them over there

00:46:03.800 fighting with you.

00:46:04.980 You have to embrace

00:46:06.140 their argument and

00:46:07.240 then top it.

00:46:08.440 That's what I did

00:46:09.060 with climate change.

00:46:09.880 I embraced it and

00:46:11.640 then I gave you a

00:46:12.360 better solution than

00:46:13.180 they were giving you

00:46:13.860 for the problem that

00:46:15.200 you don't even think

00:46:15.900 is a problem in some

00:46:17.260 cases.

00:46:18.280 By the way, I think

00:46:19.080 climate change is real

00:46:20.220 and I think it

00:46:22.260 doesn't matter because

00:46:24.360 everything you need to

00:46:25.360 do, you need to do

00:46:26.240 anyway.

00:46:27.580 We need some clean,

00:46:30.120 reliable energy.

00:46:31.040 There's only one way

00:46:31.660 to get it.

00:46:32.920 Two ways, if you say

00:46:34.220 solar is part of the

00:46:35.220 answer.

00:46:35.920 I think it is.

00:46:37.120 I think it is.

00:46:37.780 How about this?

00:46:41.440 How about your

00:46:42.260 president?

00:46:43.020 You say, you know

00:46:43.520 what, the only way to

00:46:44.700 solve the network

00:46:46.960 problem is more

00:46:48.520 people have to have

00:46:49.620 a solar battery at

00:46:50.980 their house.

00:46:52.480 Now, I think Musk

00:46:53.580 would agree because

00:46:55.360 I think there's a way

00:46:56.520 if enough homes had

00:46:58.640 their own solar

00:46:59.560 backup power that

00:47:01.940 could feed the grid

00:47:02.880 when the grid needs

00:47:04.260 it, I believe there's

00:47:06.060 a way to protect

00:47:07.800 the grid without

00:47:08.680 completely redoing

00:47:10.100 it.

00:47:10.680 We also need to

00:47:11.840 completely redo it.

00:47:13.560 But in the short run,

00:47:14.720 if you said, hey,

00:47:15.740 let's get everybody who

00:47:17.180 can afford it,

00:47:18.980 these solar batteries.

00:47:20.940 If you're rich enough

00:47:22.080 to get a solar battery,

00:47:23.520 do the country a favor

00:47:24.600 and get one.

00:47:26.380 How about that message?

00:47:28.040 I'm not asking poor

00:47:29.240 people to do anything

00:47:30.040 differently.

00:47:31.060 We're just trying to

00:47:31.900 keep the lights on for

00:47:32.760 you guys.

00:47:33.180 But if you can afford

00:47:34.580 it, the house battery

00:47:37.260 will pay for itself.

00:47:38.380 So I'm not asking you

00:47:39.200 to lose money.

00:47:40.500 I'm asking you to do

00:47:41.560 what makes sense for

00:47:42.420 yourself in a free

00:47:44.280 market.

00:47:45.040 But know that this

00:47:46.520 specific thing that

00:47:47.460 you're doing for

00:47:47.960 yourself, getting a

00:47:48.920 house battery, whether

00:47:50.840 it's Tesla or some

00:47:51.780 other product, there's

00:47:52.600 a bunch of them now,

00:47:53.800 that that thing will

00:47:54.900 be good for you, but

00:47:55.980 it's going to be really

00:47:56.580 good for the poor

00:47:57.200 people because we're

00:47:58.680 keeping everybody's

00:47:59.420 lights on and keeping

00:48:00.240 the prices down.

00:48:01.020 Yeah, like a Tesla

00:48:03.400 Powerwall, but there

00:48:04.320 are competitors to

00:48:05.400 that now.

00:48:08.140 So how easy is it to

00:48:09.660 make these arguments?

00:48:11.940 Now, abortion, here's

00:48:16.340 what the Republicans

00:48:17.040 have done wrong with

00:48:17.980 abortion.

00:48:18.460 Are you ready?

00:48:19.760 Now, and I remind you

00:48:21.340 that you will not hear

00:48:23.000 my opinion of whether

00:48:24.940 abortion should be

00:48:25.840 legal or not because I

00:48:27.620 leave that to women.

00:48:28.420 You can argue with me

00:48:31.400 all day.

00:48:31.800 I just want to make

00:48:32.280 the point that I'm not

00:48:33.140 arguing what should or

00:48:34.360 should not be.

00:48:35.260 Leave it to women.

00:48:37.120 And here's what

00:48:38.900 Republicans have done

00:48:40.220 totally wrong.

00:48:41.720 They've allowed the

00:48:42.560 Democrats to paint it

00:48:44.580 as a male versus

00:48:45.760 female issue.

00:48:49.560 Unbelievable.

00:48:51.800 Unbelievable.

00:48:52.640 The incompetence from

00:48:54.220 the Republicans to

00:48:55.480 allow that to happen,

00:48:56.520 unbelievable.

00:48:59.900 There should never be a

00:49:01.360 Republican male who

00:49:02.500 talks about abortion

00:49:03.500 again.

00:49:04.920 You want to be smart?

00:49:07.280 You want to be smart?

00:49:08.740 The first time Trump

00:49:10.260 says, you know what?

00:49:11.960 How about men just

00:49:12.780 stop talking about it?

00:49:14.120 There are plenty of

00:49:14.840 Republican women.

00:49:16.440 Let's find some

00:49:17.440 Republican women who

00:49:18.460 want to take the

00:49:19.080 argument and just get

00:49:20.620 the fuck out of the

00:49:21.720 argument.

00:49:23.060 Get the men out.

00:49:23.820 You don't think Trump

00:49:26.700 could win the entire

00:49:27.620 election by just

00:49:28.420 saying, you know, I

00:49:29.640 think it's a little

00:49:30.180 distasteful to have men

00:49:31.360 talking about abortion.

00:49:32.980 We have strong

00:49:33.920 feelings, but let's let

00:49:35.900 the women take the

00:49:36.600 lead on this.

00:49:37.600 I think we'll get a

00:49:38.300 better outcome.

00:49:40.580 Seriously, how hard

00:49:41.480 was that?

00:49:43.100 Have I already made

00:49:44.480 myself president?

00:49:46.280 How hard was that?

00:49:47.300 The Republicans

00:49:49.600 completely could turn

00:49:51.280 the conversation

00:49:52.420 around by, now, let

00:49:55.820 me ask you this.

00:49:58.080 Before you heard the

00:49:59.280 Pence rule, about

00:50:00.640 Pence would say he

00:50:01.480 wouldn't go to lunch

00:50:02.360 or a dinner with a

00:50:03.840 woman unless his wife

00:50:04.760 was there as well.

00:50:07.560 When you first heard

00:50:08.580 that, you thought, oh,

00:50:10.280 that's extreme, maybe.

00:50:14.060 Some of you thought it

00:50:14.720 was brilliant from the

00:50:15.540 start, but the more

00:50:16.540 you think about it,

00:50:18.100 it just becomes a

00:50:19.040 better and better

00:50:19.760 system for keeping

00:50:22.360 everybody happy.

00:50:25.500 Right?

00:50:30.300 And you probably

00:50:31.760 thought that you

00:50:32.480 couldn't make that

00:50:33.600 happen, but I'll bet

00:50:35.300 you Republicans all

00:50:36.540 over the world, when

00:50:37.420 they heard that Pence

00:50:38.760 was doing that, I'll

00:50:40.180 bet you, because I

00:50:41.040 did.

00:50:41.380 I'm not a Republican,

00:50:42.340 but even I said, you

00:50:43.160 know, I'm going to

00:50:44.900 adopt that standard,

00:50:46.440 which I have.

00:50:48.420 Except when I'm

00:50:49.300 single, I would

00:50:50.420 never have a meal with

00:50:51.660 just another woman, if

00:50:54.400 that was the only

00:50:54.980 person there.

00:50:56.060 So I adopted Pence's

00:50:58.040 standard as soon as I

00:50:58.940 heard it, because I

00:51:00.000 thought, you know, that

00:51:01.400 does make sense.

00:51:02.860 So now imagine, now

00:51:04.940 imagine Trump or Pence

00:51:06.300 or whoever's running

00:51:07.100 for president as a

00:51:08.240 Republican, imagine

00:51:09.380 them coming out and

00:51:10.160 saying, let's let the

00:51:12.780 women take the lead

00:51:13.560 on this.

00:51:15.140 We have very strong

00:51:16.400 opinions, but for

00:51:18.680 political purposes and

00:51:19.900 really for the benefit

00:51:20.620 of the country, let's

00:51:21.380 just let the women

00:51:22.320 take the lead.

00:51:23.900 You get the same

00:51:24.740 result, right?

00:51:26.000 Because the Republican

00:51:26.880 women are on the same

00:51:27.820 side as the Republican

00:51:28.680 men, mostly.

00:51:33.400 Now, give me another

00:51:34.500 issue.

00:51:35.140 Let me do another

00:51:35.980 one.

00:51:36.200 What's another issue in

00:51:37.700 which Republicans are

00:51:39.880 weak?

00:51:40.260 What's their weakest

00:51:42.940 issue?

00:51:46.000 The border?

00:51:47.460 You think Republicans

00:51:48.340 are weak on the border?

00:51:49.440 No.

00:51:50.280 Republicans have the

00:51:51.080 advantage on the border.

00:51:52.500 So Republicans have the

00:51:53.480 advantage in education,

00:51:55.680 advantage in health care

00:51:57.220 they do not.

00:51:58.660 Health care is a

00:51:59.280 problem.

00:52:00.560 What would you do with

00:52:01.440 health care?

00:52:02.120 I'll tell you what I'd

00:52:02.820 do.

00:52:03.880 I'd say I want health

00:52:04.980 care for everyone and

00:52:05.920 we need a plan for it.

00:52:08.220 Because I would embrace

00:52:09.420 the other side's

00:52:10.180 argument and then I

00:52:11.180 would top it.

00:52:13.060 I'd say we can get

00:52:14.760 there and to be a

00:52:16.080 great country we should

00:52:17.040 have a plan to do it.

00:52:18.620 But it shouldn't be

00:52:19.360 forced.

00:52:20.440 It shouldn't be

00:52:20.960 communism.

00:52:21.640 It shouldn't be

00:52:22.060 socialism.

00:52:22.920 We should have a plan

00:52:24.100 and that plan should be

00:52:25.380 to use technology and

00:52:28.600 AI and maybe telehealth

00:52:31.060 and free markets and

00:52:33.000 less regulations.

00:52:34.660 And basically you make

00:52:35.800 an argument that you

00:52:36.840 need to get to 100%

00:52:38.100 coverage, you need

00:52:39.700 to, and just say we

00:52:42.540 can do it better.

00:52:44.140 We'll get there through

00:52:45.380 free market, that's how

00:52:46.620 you do things.

00:52:47.940 The Democrats also want

00:52:49.580 to cover everybody, but

00:52:51.000 they just want to take

00:52:51.720 the money out of your

00:52:52.420 pocket to do it.

00:52:55.080 It would be easy to win

00:52:56.860 all of these arguments

00:52:57.880 and the technique should

00:52:59.740 always be the same.

00:53:01.140 Instead of rejecting the

00:53:02.580 other person's argument,

00:53:04.140 you embrace it and then

00:53:06.380 you top it.

00:53:07.660 You're absolutely right,

00:53:09.140 but your solution for it

00:53:10.180 is wrong.

00:53:11.080 Here's the solution.

00:53:14.280 Yeah.

00:53:14.920 GOP should say we are

00:53:16.860 the party of solutions.

00:53:20.460 We want better systems

00:53:21.800 for education, better

00:53:23.640 systems for health care,

00:53:25.200 better systems for

00:53:26.160 whatever.

00:53:27.080 And just say the

00:53:28.340 Democrats are the ones

00:53:29.340 who just want to insult

00:53:30.480 us while we're working.

00:53:31.480 And if the Republicans

00:53:34.640 could frame the situation

00:53:36.560 as Republicans have

00:53:38.280 nothing but insults, and

00:53:40.500 then just keep saying

00:53:41.300 that, while saying,

00:53:43.620 here's our plans for how

00:53:45.180 to make things better, and

00:53:46.980 Republicans basically just

00:53:48.120 have insults.

00:53:49.500 Every time the Democrats

00:53:50.780 would insult, then the

00:53:52.840 Republicans would no longer

00:53:54.140 need to address it.

00:53:56.000 They could dismiss it.

00:53:57.480 Say, well, this is why

00:53:59.100 we're running.

00:53:59.540 So here's a typical

00:54:01.520 question that the news

00:54:02.560 would say.

00:54:04.500 The news says that, you

00:54:07.200 know, they're calling you

00:54:08.160 Hitler.

00:54:10.440 So instead of saying, I'm

00:54:11.900 not Hitler, you're Hitler.

00:54:13.340 That's what, don't

00:54:14.440 Republicans usually say

00:54:15.620 that?

00:54:16.220 I'm not Hitler, you're

00:54:17.160 Hitler.

00:54:18.040 How does that work out?

00:54:19.700 It doesn't.

00:54:21.300 How about this?

00:54:22.920 Well, you know, here's our,

00:54:24.400 we're working on this plan

00:54:25.560 to fix this problem, and

00:54:27.500 the Democrats are mostly

00:54:28.560 working on a plan of how

00:54:29.940 to more cleverly insult

00:54:31.800 us.

00:54:33.440 And if you think that

00:54:34.740 working on a plan to more

00:54:35.960 cleverly insult citizens is

00:54:38.400 where you want to put your

00:54:39.300 energy, you have that

00:54:40.900 option.

00:54:41.880 But I hope you'd work with

00:54:44.320 us to improve our plan,

00:54:46.480 which admittedly will never

00:54:48.300 be perfect.

00:54:49.760 You know, we'll have to work

00:54:50.760 on it, do a little A-B

00:54:51.780 testing, a little tweaking.

00:54:53.140 And if you don't like it on

00:54:54.320 day one, work with us.

00:54:56.000 We'll try to improve it.

00:54:57.020 But you have to work within

00:54:58.300 the rules of what makes

00:54:59.800 sense, free markets, you

00:55:02.400 know, less regulation.

00:55:05.940 Do you know why ESG is a,

00:55:10.040 looks like a nightmare to

00:55:11.260 Republicans, but looks like

00:55:13.460 the best thing in the world

00:55:14.680 for Democrats?

00:55:16.580 It's this.

00:55:19.000 Republicans look at the

00:55:20.140 system, and they say,

00:55:21.400 wait a minute, we had a

00:55:22.900 system where there would be

00:55:23.880 a company competing, you

00:55:26.160 know, for its shareholders,

00:55:27.660 and it would do whatever it

00:55:29.180 could as an independent

00:55:30.140 company, you know, within the

00:55:31.800 law to maximize.

00:55:34.920 And then that worked.

00:55:36.240 We had the most dynamic

00:55:37.500 economy.

00:55:39.040 So that's a Republican system.

00:55:41.720 And then the Democrats are

00:55:43.420 people who only exist to

00:55:45.220 insult other people.

00:55:47.040 And they say, we're going to

00:55:48.080 insult you in three different

00:55:49.240 ways.

00:55:49.600 We're going to call you a

00:55:50.440 racist, because you don't

00:55:51.840 have enough equity and

00:55:53.760 inclusion.

00:55:55.440 We're going to call you a

00:55:56.680 science denier, because you're

00:55:58.000 not doing enough about the

00:55:59.100 environment.

00:56:00.780 Basically, we're going to

00:56:02.180 come up with some insults, and

00:56:03.860 then we're going to destroy

00:56:04.940 your system by creating this

00:56:07.660 confusing set of entities that

00:56:10.480 are, you know, judging you,

00:56:12.960 and trying to determine whether

00:56:14.820 you're worthy of investment and

00:56:16.540 buying their products.

00:56:17.580 So basically, all Republicans

00:56:20.580 know that if you add this extra

00:56:23.200 burden of three different

00:56:25.500 preferences, like, it's not even

00:56:27.200 one thing.

00:56:28.360 It's not even just about the

00:56:29.800 environment.

00:56:31.820 It's about government,

00:56:33.100 governance, plus the environment,

00:56:35.460 plus, you know, social

00:56:36.620 responsibility.

00:56:38.040 So there's all these murky

00:56:39.680 things.

00:56:40.160 If you put that on top of free

00:56:41.820 markets, is that a better system

00:56:44.100 or a worse one?

00:56:44.820 Every Republican knows that's

00:56:47.620 worse.

00:56:48.700 Now, it's hard to explain why it's

00:56:50.600 worse to people who don't

00:56:52.600 understand the systems have to be

00:56:55.980 designed to, you know, work with

00:56:58.140 human characteristics, et cetera.

00:57:00.960 So you're always going to have the

00:57:03.320 Democrats saying, let's find a new

00:57:05.820 way to insult people.

00:57:07.480 I got it.

00:57:08.780 We'll say that they don't have

00:57:10.220 enough diversity, therefore they're

00:57:12.120 racist.

00:57:12.440 How else can we insult people?

00:57:14.900 I got it.

00:57:16.080 They're not doing enough for

00:57:17.460 climate change, so therefore

00:57:18.940 they're science deniers.

00:57:21.420 But basically, the Democrats are

00:57:23.260 always looking for the angle to

00:57:24.760 insult you.

00:57:26.560 And the Republicans, if they framed

00:57:28.780 it correctly, would always be

00:57:30.600 looking for the way to make a

00:57:31.920 system that works for everybody.

00:57:35.460 And invite the Democrats in.

00:57:38.040 Invite the Democrats in.

00:57:39.220 So it would be so easy.

00:57:42.020 All right, give me another one.

00:57:43.580 Give me another place the

00:57:45.300 Republicans are weak.

00:57:50.840 On drugs?

00:57:52.940 No.

00:57:53.460 On pot?

00:57:55.480 Yeah, pot would be easy.

00:57:57.240 All right.

00:57:58.440 Here's me being a better

00:58:00.660 Republican about marijuana.

00:58:02.140 The federal government should get

00:58:04.860 out of that.

00:58:06.640 I'm dumb.

00:58:08.140 All Trump has to do is just say

00:58:10.020 the words.

00:58:11.340 Let the states do that.

00:58:12.720 The federal government should not

00:58:13.860 be making marijuana illegal.

00:58:16.860 So easy.

00:58:19.200 Now, by the way, am I proving to

00:58:21.320 you that the Republicans do have a

00:58:23.740 five-line highway, and they can't

00:58:26.480 seem to find the highway?

00:58:27.980 They're over on the sidewalk over

00:58:32.160 there, talking about abortion laws

00:58:34.820 that won't be passed.

00:58:36.700 It's like they're not even on the

00:58:37.900 highway.

00:58:39.160 How do you not find the whole

00:58:40.700 highway?

00:58:41.700 It could not be easier to win if

00:58:43.560 you're a Republican this time.

00:58:45.000 And they found a way to lose by

00:58:47.980 basically being drawn into the

00:58:49.640 Democrats' frame, right, defending

00:58:52.340 themselves and arguing, you did it

00:58:55.160 too, stuff like that.

00:58:57.980 Although, I do think the shipping of

00:59:00.080 the immigrants is horrible.

00:59:04.360 Now, the Republicans are arguing

00:59:06.100 that these people are being used as

00:59:09.820 pawns in every case.

00:59:14.420 Unfortunately, they're being used as

00:59:17.000 pawns in every case.

00:59:18.360 Secondly, if they're illegal, I have

00:59:21.700 no moral qualms with using them for

00:59:24.860 political purposes.

00:59:26.880 If the political purposes are well

00:59:28.940 intentioned, in this case, I think

00:59:30.520 they are, you know, to have a secure

00:59:32.780 border.

00:59:34.020 So I don't mind that illegal aliens

00:59:36.560 are being used as props to make a

00:59:41.500 political point.

00:59:42.200 I don't have any problem with that at

00:59:43.300 all.

00:59:43.980 Because it doesn't seem especially cruel

00:59:46.400 to the people involved.

00:59:48.840 Do you think that the people who ended

00:59:50.200 up at Martha's Vineyard are going to

00:59:51.920 have a worse time making it than the

00:59:55.460 people who went into, you know, the

00:59:57.220 mess of all the other migrants and

00:59:59.560 everybody's trying to find the few

01:00:01.000 opportunities and stuff?

01:00:03.620 I don't know.

01:00:04.680 I suspect that they'll all have food and a

01:00:07.040 warm place to sleep.

01:00:10.020 You know what would be hilarious?

01:00:12.740 If Obama actually did open up his mansion

01:00:16.720 and let him stay there, that would be such

01:00:20.420 a baller thing to do.

01:00:22.780 Because it would sort of just like change

01:00:24.620 the argument.

01:00:25.240 You'd be like, okay, didn't see that

01:00:27.480 coming.

01:00:28.500 Did not see that coming.

01:00:30.400 He could do it.

01:00:31.680 Because he has multiple houses, right?

01:00:33.400 He could just say, yeah, until the problem

01:00:35.580 is worked out, put those migrants at my

01:00:38.680 Martha's Vineyard house.

01:00:41.160 He could.

01:00:41.820 It's not going to happen.

01:00:42.700 It won't happen.

01:00:45.860 All right.

01:00:46.880 Give me another one.

01:00:48.520 What's another Republican weakness?

01:00:54.240 Guns.

01:00:56.780 I don't know that guns are going to be an

01:01:00.480 issue.

01:01:02.000 I'm trying to remember.

01:01:03.220 I don't think it's in the top five, is it?

01:01:06.180 I don't think guns are in the top five.

01:01:08.820 And I believe that Democrats are buying

01:01:10.640 them as quickly as Republicans are.

01:01:14.920 If you tell me Democrats aren't buying

01:01:16.820 guns at a pretty high rate right now,

01:01:19.260 I don't believe that.

01:01:21.700 I feel like guns could be ignored.

01:01:25.240 Because the Republicans already have the

01:01:27.200 better argument.

01:01:27.800 Although I think that the, here's what the,

01:01:33.420 here's what the Republicans do wrong on

01:01:40.020 guns.

01:01:41.920 They let, they let Biden define it as it

01:01:45.480 would be citizens against the military of

01:01:48.540 the United States.

01:01:50.420 That will never happen.

01:01:51.720 Nobody's talking about citizens with their

01:01:55.820 little, uh, little, little guns taking on the

01:01:59.080 military.

01:02:00.620 But they let, they let Biden define that as the

01:02:03.680 problem.

01:02:04.780 Do you know what it would be more like?

01:02:06.860 Did I tell you that, uh, five Russian-backed

01:02:10.580 officials have, were murdered just yesterday in

01:02:14.280 Russian-dominated territories in Ukraine?

01:02:16.660 That's what happens.

01:02:20.020 What happens is every time the, let's say,

01:02:23.940 illegitimate government, who is trying to

01:02:26.940 take your guns or whatever they were trying

01:02:28.360 to do, that, uh, as soon as they install a

01:02:30.960 puppet, there's not enough security in the

01:02:33.380 world to protect that puppet, like Ukraine.

01:02:37.660 So in Ukraine, every Russian puppet will

01:02:40.780 probably be murdered.

01:02:42.380 Probably every one of them.

01:02:44.000 Eventually.

01:02:45.180 You know, it just takes a while.

01:02:46.660 But it looks like they're just going to kill

01:02:48.320 every one of them, because they can.

01:02:50.540 There would be nothing that could stop them

01:02:52.180 from getting every one of them.

01:02:54.380 Because you're not going to let every

01:02:55.840 official have an underground bunker.

01:02:59.420 Right?

01:03:00.660 So, and you don't have to get the top people.

01:03:03.320 Like, you don't have to use your, your

01:03:04.980 handgun to get to the president of the

01:03:07.540 United States, who's become a dictator and

01:03:09.340 taken over the country.

01:03:10.840 You only have to get to the, like, the

01:03:13.880 mayor.

01:03:14.280 Like, the people who are just sort of keeping

01:03:17.180 the lights on.

01:03:18.060 Just get to them.

01:03:19.560 Kill them all.

01:03:21.000 Which is exactly what would happen if the

01:03:24.160 U.S. tried to turn into some kind of a

01:03:25.920 dictatorship and install, you know, like,

01:03:28.620 puppets everywhere.

01:03:29.920 We would just kill all the puppets.

01:03:32.060 Because it would be easy.

01:03:33.540 Everybody has a gun.

01:03:34.400 So, there's no way that, there's no way our

01:03:41.060 government could, could, let's say, take

01:03:44.980 over and then actually control the public.

01:03:47.640 Because to control the public, you have to

01:03:49.940 at least control, let's say, the chief of

01:03:52.320 police.

01:03:53.520 Right?

01:03:54.680 You'd have to at least get the chief of

01:03:56.420 police.

01:03:57.500 Do you think every chief of police is going

01:03:59.140 to be able to protect their own home?

01:04:01.720 No.

01:04:02.740 Everybody knows where the chief of police

01:04:04.400 lives.

01:04:05.860 Where their family lives.

01:04:07.980 You couldn't possibly be a chief of police

01:04:10.960 and turn against the public in the United

01:04:12.920 States.

01:04:14.320 Maybe you could do it somewhere else.

01:04:16.420 But you can't do it here.

01:04:18.320 Because all we need to know is where you

01:04:20.120 live.

01:04:21.680 They're not going to send, and then, let's

01:04:23.500 say they send the military.

01:04:26.560 Let's say they can get enough military to

01:04:29.040 show up in your little town.

01:04:31.040 I mean, I don't know how that would be

01:04:32.180 possible.

01:04:32.960 There wouldn't be enough of them.

01:04:34.520 But all you'd have to do is see the face of

01:04:36.720 any of the military people, right?

01:04:39.160 Would they all have to wear masks?

01:04:42.580 They better.

01:04:44.080 Because if you see the face of a soldier

01:04:46.780 who has turned on you in the United States,

01:04:49.640 you're going to take his picture.

01:04:52.480 And then his family's in trouble.

01:04:54.060 Because they're going to find the family.

01:04:59.080 So there isn't any way that you can turn

01:05:01.520 against the public on a retail basis.

01:05:04.420 And it's not going to be a war between our

01:05:06.100 guns and their nukes.

01:05:07.480 But somehow, the Republicans have allowed

01:05:09.660 Biden to define it that way.

01:05:12.380 Because it's hard to explain what I just

01:05:14.960 explained, right?

01:05:16.760 But here's the way I'd explain it.

01:05:19.120 The next time Biden says, you know, you're

01:05:21.700 not going to be able to fight against our

01:05:23.140 tanks and our nukes, I would say this.

01:05:25.940 We're not going to be fighting against

01:05:27.200 them.

01:05:28.300 We're going to make sure that the chief of

01:05:29.940 police in our town doesn't go to your

01:05:31.880 side.

01:05:33.500 Right?

01:05:34.960 You only need the chief of police.

01:05:37.480 Because if you get the chief of police,

01:05:40.840 what are they going to do?

01:05:44.080 They're going to send the military into

01:05:45.460 every town in the United States?

01:05:48.340 Couldn't do it.

01:05:49.680 You couldn't do it.

01:05:50.380 You only have to threaten the life of the

01:05:52.920 police chief, which you could very

01:05:56.020 effectively do if all of your citizens had

01:05:58.500 guns.

01:05:59.780 Do you know who else would threaten the

01:06:02.240 life of the police chief?

01:06:04.420 The cops.

01:06:07.660 Why would all the cops just suddenly join

01:06:10.580 the dictator?

01:06:12.020 That's not going to happen.

01:06:13.800 They're patriots, right?

01:06:15.600 So you could install as many puppets as

01:06:18.260 you want, but we'll kill them as fast as

01:06:19.980 you install them.

01:06:22.440 I mean, even I would kill a puppet.

01:06:26.040 If they put a puppet mayor in my little

01:06:28.300 town in Pleasanton, I'd kill them.

01:06:30.920 I mean, if nobody else would.

01:06:33.520 I'll take that job.

01:06:34.560 So, there's just no way you could take over the

01:06:38.860 United States.

01:06:40.340 Too many guns.

01:06:42.300 You got really quiet when I started saying

01:06:44.540 this.

01:06:45.580 By the way, does everybody buy the argument

01:06:47.780 that the guns only need to be useful on the

01:06:52.060 local level?

01:06:53.200 Because that's all you need to control your

01:06:55.060 town.

01:06:56.900 Right?

01:06:57.300 So, somehow, the argument should be the reason

01:07:05.060 that Russia won't be able to control Ukraine in

01:07:08.180 the long run is because there will be enough

01:07:11.040 guns there to kill all of their puppets.

01:07:13.060 So, here's the quick version.

01:07:15.780 We're not going after your nukes, fuckhead.

01:07:19.420 We're going to kill all of your puppets.

01:07:23.060 You don't think we can get to your puppets?

01:07:25.520 Yeah, we don't have to get to your senators or your

01:07:28.100 secret military army.

01:07:30.680 We don't have to get to that.

01:07:32.100 We don't have to get to your inner circle.

01:07:34.560 We're just going to make sure that if you put

01:07:36.260 somebody in our town, we'll just fucking kill

01:07:38.800 them.

01:07:40.060 Yeah.

01:07:47.160 All right, what else?

01:07:48.100 I think the argument for education is just so

01:07:52.740 strongly Republican now.

01:07:55.080 Race.

01:07:57.200 All right, let's talk about race.

01:07:59.180 What could the Republicans do to own race?

01:08:04.760 Easy?

01:08:06.100 Easy.

01:08:07.540 Easiest one.

01:08:09.500 You ready?

01:08:11.560 First, you embrace the other side's argument.

01:08:16.060 Systemic racism.

01:08:17.660 My God, it's bad.

01:08:19.480 Yeah, that's bad.

01:08:21.140 The systemic racism is really something we need

01:08:24.220 to work on.

01:08:25.000 So, let's get rid of the school, the teachers'

01:08:28.700 unions.

01:08:30.260 Because that's the only way you're going to fix

01:08:32.060 things.

01:08:33.000 And you make the teachers' unions the source of

01:08:36.540 all, the primary source of continuing inequality.

01:08:41.320 And you say, look, Democrats, join with us.

01:08:45.380 We'll work on the biggest problem first.

01:08:47.140 If we can solve the biggest problem, then maybe we'll have some momentum to work together

01:08:52.900 on the second biggest problem.

01:08:54.200 But we could definitely work together on the biggest problem.

01:08:57.760 And the biggest problem is, instead of Republicans ignoring that there is a systemic and built-in

01:09:04.120 disadvantage to the black population, could you just fucking say it?

01:09:08.940 Would it kill you to be a Republican and say, yes, it does look like there's some lasting

01:09:16.820 disadvantage that's, you know, reaching into the black community?

01:09:20.700 Would it kill you to say it?

01:09:22.180 Even if you don't believe it.

01:09:24.580 Because I know the counter-argument would be, other groups have troubles, there are other

01:09:28.940 poor people, you know, some poor people make it out, therefore everybody can make it out.

01:09:34.420 You know, what about the Asian population and the Jewish population?

01:09:38.540 Why are they doing well?

01:09:40.440 You know, so you could argue it away, right?

01:09:42.280 But it's the wrong approach.

01:09:44.160 That's not how you win.

01:09:45.600 You don't win by telling the other side they're wrong.

01:09:48.700 You win by embracing their argument and topping it.

01:09:54.740 Embrace it and top it.

01:09:57.620 You can't be beaten if you do that.

01:09:59.960 That's an unbeatable strategy.

01:10:02.420 Embrace it and top it.

01:10:04.700 Denying the problem loses every time.

01:10:08.540 I think that loses every time.

01:10:10.940 You can only get your own team to deny the problem.

01:10:14.280 You need to accept it, reframe it, and top it.

01:10:19.840 LGBTQ.

01:10:21.800 You're talking about the trans sports things, specifically?

01:10:25.520 I don't think anybody cares about LGBTQ.

01:10:30.620 In terms of the election and the voting, nobody's going to vote on that, are they?

01:10:36.060 They might vote on the young people and the education and the school part.

01:10:43.400 But beyond that, there's no real issue, is there, with the LGBTQ community?

01:10:48.160 I just don't think people care about it enough, except for the children issue yet.

01:10:52.220 So they care about that.

01:10:55.640 All right.

01:10:56.940 The FBI.

01:10:58.860 I don't know.

01:10:59.280 Does anybody trust the FBI anymore?

01:11:00.880 Do you think Democrats really trust them?

01:11:05.020 I don't think so.

01:11:07.200 All right.

01:11:07.940 So, have I made my point?

01:11:10.360 That if a Republican followed my advice of embracing the other argument and topping it,

01:11:18.060 that it's a five-lane highway of just easiness.

01:11:22.860 You could just stroll down the middle of a five-lane highway with no traffic.

01:11:26.220 Do-do-do-do-do-do, going to the White House.

01:11:29.540 La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

01:11:32.580 But what will whoever the Republican president is, what will they do instead of what I just said?

01:11:39.840 Probably tell a bunch of lies.

01:11:42.260 Right?

01:11:43.440 It doesn't matter who it is.

01:11:45.440 You could say it's Trump or somebody else.

01:11:47.320 It'll probably be just a bunch of lies.

01:11:48.820 And it's the worst technique, because then they get fact-checked, and then the other team says you're a bunch of liars,

01:11:55.980 and then they have lots of material to say you're a liar, and then they're happy because they have something to criticize a person about.

01:12:04.280 As soon as you lie, you make it about you, right?

01:12:07.760 Am I right?

01:12:09.080 If you talk about your policies, then they're sort of forced to talk about the policy.

01:12:15.380 But as soon as you stick a lie in there with your policy, the lie is the only thing anybody's going to talk about.

01:12:22.620 And then the lie is about you.

01:12:24.460 And you just took the focus off of your excellent plan and put it on your bad character.

01:12:31.120 Oh, I want to solve the fentanyl crisis right now, if I could.

01:12:38.480 I did this yesterday in the man cave, talking just to the local subscribers.

01:12:42.360 By the way, local subscribers who saw my idea for the fentanyl persuasion, was that persuasive, those of you who saw it?

01:12:52.220 Because I won't repeat it unless you liked it.

01:12:55.000 Did that?

01:12:56.340 Okay.

01:12:57.480 I'm getting yeses there?

01:12:59.140 All right.

01:12:59.900 Here's the problem with fentanyl persuasion so far.

01:13:03.540 Here's me doing a bad job of persuading you that you need to do something about fentanyl, okay?

01:13:08.920 Um, blah, blah, blah, statistics.

01:13:13.140 Blah, blah, blah, big alarming number.

01:13:15.820 Blah, blah, blah, worse than some wars.

01:13:19.100 Blah, blah, blah, coming from Mexico.

01:13:22.160 Blah, blah, blah, comes from China.

01:13:24.620 Now, that gets you right off the couch, doesn't it?

01:13:27.420 Ugh.

01:13:28.380 Statistics.

01:13:29.800 Or how about, I show you a graph.

01:13:31.860 Here's my graph.

01:13:34.480 Look at that line.

01:13:35.840 That line was going like this.

01:13:37.540 But now it's going like this.

01:13:39.400 It's a line.

01:13:40.880 Beware of my line on my graph.

01:13:43.960 Run away.

01:13:44.820 There's a line on a graph.

01:13:46.940 Nothing.

01:13:49.600 Here's how you deal with the problem.

01:13:52.680 You get your AI, which can now make artistic renderings of anything.

01:13:58.240 And you program an AI to create a new visual piece of art every day.

01:14:05.840 And you tell it to make a photorealistic, not an artistic version, but like a photorealistic, like it was a photograph,

01:14:14.000 picture of a pile of 300 dead Americans.

01:14:19.080 Like a different pile of corpses.

01:14:21.340 And you do a different pile every day.

01:14:23.200 You just tweet it.

01:14:23.940 And you say, here are the people killed by fentanyl today.

01:14:28.740 Today.

01:14:30.400 300.

01:14:32.020 Because if you hear onesies and twosies and, you know, my stepson died and, you know, your brother's cousin died,

01:14:39.400 it's horrible on a small level, but it doesn't make you act.

01:14:43.780 Do you know why the Holocaust is such a persuasive part of our being?

01:14:50.020 It's because of the visuals.

01:14:52.440 It's the visuals.

01:14:53.000 Do you know what the other so-called holocausts don't have going for them?

01:14:58.960 Pictures.

01:15:00.600 Pictures.

01:15:02.240 You know, we always hear about the, like, Armenian, wasn't there some Armenian holocaust, right?

01:15:08.100 I've never seen a picture.

01:15:10.760 I've heard statistics and they're alarming, right?

01:15:13.920 But if you don't have the pictures, you're not scaring people.

01:15:17.240 So let's use AI to create a, literally, a pile of corpses every day.

01:15:25.520 Tweet it down.

01:15:26.260 I'll retweet it.

01:15:27.160 I'll retweet it every day.

01:15:28.180 And we will make it a big enough problem so that the United States decides it's, you know, something to do about it.

01:15:38.780 And by the way, if I were a Republican, I would say I would attack the cartels in Mexico.

01:15:43.080 And I would make the Democrats argue that that's a bad idea.

01:15:51.360 Because I don't think they can.

01:15:53.300 The trouble is it would lure them into your frame.

01:15:56.880 They don't want to be there.

01:15:58.000 And I don't, you know, this could backfire because it's pretty radical.

01:16:10.860 They call it racist.

01:16:13.380 They call it everything.

01:16:14.800 And if they call it racist, then what do you do?

01:16:17.060 You say, well, here's another example where Republicans are trying to fix a system

01:16:22.320 and the Democrats are busy trying to figure out what would be the most clever insult

01:16:27.540 for the people who are trying to fix things.

01:16:35.700 Now, let me just check with you because when I'm talking,

01:16:39.880 I'm not reading the comments at the same time so well.

01:16:42.680 Have I proven my point that Republicans have a real easy argument for everything?

01:16:51.100 For everything.

01:16:54.100 Point proven?

01:16:56.060 I see a no.

01:16:59.280 I'd like to know what the no person thinks.

01:17:02.860 All right.

01:17:05.740 And are you angered at how easy it is?

01:17:10.560 Does it piss you off a little bit?

01:17:12.680 Because it is this easy.

01:17:14.700 I'm pretty sure it is this easy.

01:17:16.900 But we don't have anybody executing at that level.

01:17:19.640 And I don't think I'm qualified.

01:17:22.860 I wouldn't be qualified to run for office.

01:17:26.420 But I don't know.

01:17:29.900 It looks easy to me.

01:17:34.640 All right.

01:17:35.480 Yeah, you know, was it, I think it was a Cernovich tweet.

01:17:44.400 I haven't mentioned him the entire live stream, so I think I need to.

01:17:49.140 Cernovich had a tweet about,

01:17:50.780 it's very real that people are afraid of succeeding.

01:17:54.660 I think that's the way he put it.

01:17:55.900 Something like that.

01:17:56.940 That people who seem to choose paths that would guarantee failure,

01:18:01.960 and they seem to be doing it intentionally.

01:18:06.300 Have you noticed that?

01:18:08.060 Is that your impression?

01:18:09.560 That some people will choose a path that's just clearly self-destructive.

01:18:14.420 Yeah.

01:18:14.960 I think that's real.

01:18:16.460 I don't know what's behind it exactly.

01:18:19.420 Afraid of success?

01:18:20.660 Yeah.

01:18:20.860 All right.

01:18:24.340 So, my beloved audience,

01:18:28.600 I'm going to take my leave.

01:18:31.260 I think this was one of the all-time, all-time best live streams.

01:18:37.460 Not only have I changed politics in America

01:18:39.860 by showing the better way to do it,

01:18:42.440 but I believe I've made great strides in solving all of our largest problems

01:18:46.740 by showing that if they're treated as systems problems.

01:18:51.100 And you can swipe away the dingleberries

01:18:53.600 that are doing nothing but insulting you cleverly.

01:18:58.360 America could be awesome.

01:19:02.260 And so, on that note,

01:19:04.560 goodbye to you on YouTube.

01:19:05.640 I'll talk to you tomorrow.

01:19:07.280 You're all awesome.
