Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1871 Scott Adams： The Government Is Doing Nothing About Fentanyl, More

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the happiest place in the world.

00:00:09.860 No, not Disneyland. No. No, it's Coffee with Scott Adams, and it's the best thing that's

00:00:15.260 ever happened to anybody. And let's take it up to stratospheric levels. In order to do that,

00:00:23.020 we'll need something. You'll need something. Something to hold your beverage, and all you

00:00:27.860 need is a cupper mug or a glass of tank or a chalice of stein, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:00:31.700 a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for

00:00:39.700 the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything

00:00:45.120 better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go.

00:00:51.180 Oh, that's so good. 0.89

00:01:06.020 Pardon my caffeine orgasm. It was good for me. Well, I continue my quest to fly as close to 0.85

00:01:13.300 the sun as I can. The Dilbert comic has only been partially canceled so far, meaning that

00:01:21.220 some of the large newspaper chains have stopped running it. I don't know if they're canceling

00:01:28.480 it or just now running it because of the content. But I continue to hit this theme of ESG. Today's

00:01:34.940 comic will feature the CEO talking to Katbert, the head of HR, having a little conversation

00:01:41.980 there. And I'll read it to you. The CEO says to Katbert, our ESG score will drop if we open

00:01:51.080 a new factory that adds CO2 to the atmosphere. The CEO goes on, but we can balance that out

00:01:57.700 by adding more diversity to our board. And Katbert says, how much CO2 do you plan to add? And

00:02:04.960 the CEO says, one non-binary board member's worth. That's right. If you're measuring ESG, 0.98

00:02:15.060 you've got a score for environment and social things and governance and diversity and all that

00:02:22.080 stuff. And it seems to me that if you're feeling a little weak in one, you could balance that out by

00:02:30.460 being a little stronger than the other, right? Now, in reality, they probably give individual

00:02:35.140 grades for all that stuff. But I thought it was funnier to treat it like it was one grade.

00:02:39.560 Because in effect, it will be. Now, how many of you have been involved in any kind of a large

00:02:47.580 organization that had any kind of data that it needed to track and report to people? Is anybody

00:02:54.960 involved in that situation? A large organization where you had to collect data. Now, ESG is something

00:03:03.160 that large organizations are doing that is being sort of imposed from the outside, these standards

00:03:08.940 for their environmental policies and their social policies and their governance. So you've got all

00:03:15.960 these outside forces. What happens in a situation where you have outside forces telling you to measure

00:03:23.800 something that is very subjective? Well, it's not subjective conceptually. That's not subjective at all.

00:03:32.920 But if you're going to decide what data counts and what doesn't, it starts getting really subjective.

00:03:39.660 So you've got the most subjective situation you could. You know, for example, if you looked at a company's

00:03:47.400 environmental impact, should you also consider their suppliers?

00:03:53.100 How do you decide that? Now, I think the answer is yes. You do consider their suppliers because the

00:04:01.800 suppliers are part of the larger environmental thing. So the answer is yes. All right. Now, that's easy,

00:04:07.660 right? Very objective. But what if one of the suppliers has no alternative? What if you can't make the thing

00:04:17.160 you make without using that supplier? And that supplier is a little bit of a problem? And what

00:04:23.180 if the thing you make is just essential for the country? It's not like an iPhone. It's food or energy

00:04:29.800 or something. So you have all these situations where you might find that the only way to do something

00:04:35.420 that's essential for the world is to put off a little more CO2 than you want to in one little area.

00:04:43.300 So what does a company do when they've got a bad score? And the only people who have access to

00:04:51.560 the raw data is the company itself. So only the company itself really knows all of its inputs and

00:05:00.060 outputs. And it gets to self-report what it's doing. How in the world could these numbers be useful

00:05:09.100 and really comparable to anything else? They couldn't possibly be. By design, this is a system

00:05:15.220 that's designed, it's designed to create liars out of everybody. That's what it's designed to do.

00:05:22.180 Now, not intentionally, but the design of it will force people to lie just to get through the day.

00:05:28.160 Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That wasn't our CO2. That was a vendor. But we don't use that vendor anymore.

00:05:38.340 You know, it's going to be, there's going to be all, yeah, greenwashing will be the name for it.

00:05:43.960 So I'm still, still after ESG. Remember, I promised you that I would kill it by the end of the year. 0.89

00:05:51.140 Now, of course, it's not the sort of thing that could ever be completely killed. But by the end of 0.98

00:05:57.240 the year, I want everybody to know that the popular view of it is that it's bullshit. Meaning the view 0.99

00:06:07.900 not from the top is that it's bullshit. And the Dilbert comic does that. It kind of sends that message 0.99

00:06:14.760 that the common view of it is that it's bullshit. So we'll see if that makes a difference. 0.99

00:06:21.140 Biden continues to divide the country successfully. So there's a new Harvard-Harris poll that says

00:06:29.520 73% of Democrats and even 20% of Republicans, which is shocking when you hear this. So 73% of

00:06:37.000 Democrats and even 20% of Republicans and even 42% of independents believe the following statement

00:06:43.740 is true. That there are tens of millions of dangerous MAGA Republicans backing violence and

00:06:50.080 trying to overthrow the Constitution. Tens of millions. What? Our president, President

00:07:02.540 Dumbfuck Biden, managed to convince the country that there are tens of millions of dangerous 0.98

00:07:09.580 MAGA Republicans who are looking to use violence to overthrow the Constitution. 0.99

00:07:14.760 Do you know what MAGA Republicans don't do? Overthrow the Constitution is literally the opposite

00:07:27.240 of what they do. Like, how can you convince, well, I guess it's easy, 73% of Democrats that wet

00:07:37.000 is dry, up is down, you know, blue is orange. I mean, literally, if you were to define what

00:07:46.240 a MAGA Republican is, wouldn't you start with, don't change the Constitution? That's where

00:07:56.280 you start. That's the most basic assumption is don't, you know, don't, uh, all right, we'll hide you.

00:08:12.260 So most basic assumption.

00:08:16.800 And what do you do with a president who convinces the country that it's having an imaginary civil war?

00:08:23.340 I feel like that's the worst president you could possibly have.

00:08:29.980 Somebody who convinces you that you're at a civil war when you're not.

00:08:35.840 Has anybody walked outside in the last few weeks?

00:08:40.360 How was the war?

00:08:43.360 Was it dangerous?

00:08:45.220 Did you run into any of the tens of millions of dangerous MAGA

00:08:48.580 Republicans looking to overthrow your Constitution?

00:08:53.340 You know, when I joke about the fact that we're having an imaginary civil war,

00:08:59.260 that's not a joke.

00:09:01.480 We are literally, literally experiencing the mental equivalent of an imaginary civil war,

00:09:10.980 which apparently 73% of Democrats believe they're right in the middle of it.

00:09:15.380 Like the war, the imaginary war is blazing away, and people have taken sides, and, you know,

00:09:22.180 all kinds of dangerous MAGA Republicans backing violence to overthrow the Constitution.

00:09:27.660 Now, I guess that's the weirdest part.

00:09:29.800 If you had told me, if you had told me that Democrats have, uh, persuaded the country that MAGA Republicans

00:09:37.720 were just bad, just, let's say, just generically bad in whatever way,

00:09:43.980 I would say, all right, well, okay, maybe, maybe from your point of view,

00:09:49.800 they're bad, and there are tens of millions of MAGA Republicans.

00:09:54.360 So I think if it was a general, a general kind of insult, I'd say, okay, that's just politics.

00:10:01.200 But when you say that they are the opposite of what they are, I don't even know what that is.

00:10:08.000 To say that MAGA Republicans want to overthrow the Constitution,

00:10:12.320 when it's literally the definition of the opposite of what they are.

00:10:15.880 And yet, 73% of Democrats are like, uh-huh.

00:10:21.300 And 20% of Republicans also believe

00:10:25.380 that all these imaginary, mega, anti-constitutional people exist.

00:10:33.380 It's really mind-boggling that something that lied this big could be so successful.

00:10:39.420 But, here we are.

00:10:41.520 Well, here's the good news.

00:10:42.800 Apparently, there's a company that is completing a one-year test

00:10:47.700 to see if they can make energy out of the ocean,

00:10:51.660 the ocean waves, specifically.

00:10:53.960 And they created some kind of an artificial blowhole.

00:10:57.920 Did you ever see a blowhole?

00:10:59.080 There's one in Maui that's kind of cool.

00:11:01.160 Every time the wave comes in, it creates a little pressure thing

00:11:05.640 that shoots water up in the sky from the hole.

00:11:08.100 Well, they've created an artificial one that uses the wave action

00:11:13.140 to create an artificial blowhole to move a generator.

00:11:17.440 And apparently, it worked.

00:11:19.000 It worked.

00:11:19.520 It's off the coast of Australia.

00:11:22.180 Now, the beauty...

00:11:23.520 Now, it's not really refined yet.

00:11:25.620 The design apparently works,

00:11:28.260 but it's not super efficient compared to other things.

00:11:31.180 And not even super reliable compared to other things.

00:11:33.900 But it's getting there.

00:11:34.740 So, I've always wondered why we couldn't harness ocean movement

00:11:41.120 given that ocean movement is pretty predictable, right?

00:11:45.260 And pretty dramatic.

00:11:47.440 I mean, the ocean's pretty heavy.

00:11:49.340 It can move a lot of stuff.

00:11:51.280 So, it always seemed to me that ocean power was the obvious way to go.

00:11:55.560 And I was always a little surprised we hadn't gotten there yet.

00:11:58.220 Yeah, tides and whatnot.

00:11:59.200 It kills sea life, does it?

00:12:04.340 I don't think it has to, but I see your point.

00:12:07.320 It seems like if you put a big noisy mechanical thing in the ocean,

00:12:10.980 that couldn't possibly be good for the sea life.

00:12:13.640 That's a good point.

00:12:15.380 But it does seem to me that...

00:12:17.580 Now, the design that I imagined was simpler.

00:12:19.880 The design I imagined was that sitting on the top, there'd be a buoy.

00:12:26.640 And as the waves go up and down, the buoy would go up and down.

00:12:29.760 And the buoy would be attached to some kind of a generator

00:12:33.120 that the up and down motion generates something.

00:12:37.080 Now, it seems to me that'd be the most obvious.

00:12:39.400 But it's probably pretty hard to engineer.

00:12:42.380 Maintenance nightmare.

00:12:43.180 Yeah, you're right.

00:12:43.660 Yeah, it's probably really hard to engineer something

00:12:46.420 where the exact motion is super variable.

00:12:51.900 Yeah.

00:12:53.120 Title generators are a thing, but I expected them to be much bigger.

00:12:57.880 All right.

00:13:00.280 Anyway, that's a little good news.

00:13:03.440 I'm so happy to see that the political right,

00:13:06.400 especially the media, has picked up a trick from the left.

00:13:11.440 Let's see if you notice the trick.

00:13:13.660 I think it was in the Washington Examiner, was it?

00:13:18.380 There was a report of an anonymous FBI source,

00:13:23.420 anonymous source,

00:13:25.480 who says that the FBI is trying too hard

00:13:29.840 to find white supremacists

00:13:32.000 and that the supply of white supremacists

00:13:35.940 is too low for the demand.

00:13:38.540 The demand for white supremacists is higher than the supply.

00:13:41.500 And it's from an anonymous source within the FBI.

00:13:50.160 Huh.

00:13:51.100 An anonymous source

00:13:52.900 who is saying exactly what one political side says.

00:13:58.560 It's right on the nose, isn't it?

00:14:01.100 Right on the nose.

00:14:02.560 Not only do they say what you want to hear,

00:14:05.920 but they even use the same language.

00:14:09.020 How many times have you heard the...

00:14:11.540 And it's a clever and true statement

00:14:13.480 that the supply of white supremacists

00:14:17.020 is too low for the demand.

00:14:20.680 That is way too non-credible.

00:14:23.540 Now, let's make you feel ashamed.

00:14:28.840 How many of you automatically believed the story was true

00:14:32.220 because it agreed with exactly what you think is true?

00:14:36.860 Did anybody just like automatically believe that story?

00:14:41.300 Some of you did.

00:14:42.680 That's how confirmation bias works.

00:14:44.920 Now keep in mind,

00:14:45.820 I'm not telling you it isn't true.

00:14:48.840 How would I know?

00:14:50.200 I don't know that.

00:14:51.300 I'm just saying that

00:14:52.160 if you make it a habit

00:14:53.340 of believing an anonymous source

00:14:56.100 who says something

00:14:57.620 that's exactly what the people

00:14:59.120 who are not anonymous sources are saying,

00:15:02.020 the odds of it being true are very low.

00:15:06.000 Very low.

00:15:07.380 Now let me make sure

00:15:08.800 that I'm being careful here.

00:15:10.480 I definitely believe

00:15:12.020 that what the alleged whistleblower is saying

00:15:14.860 is almost certainly true.

00:15:18.120 I don't believe

00:15:19.300 there's an alleged whistleblower

00:15:21.100 saying it.

00:15:24.200 It just probably is one of those things

00:15:25.800 that's obviously true,

00:15:27.680 but you need somebody to say it

00:15:29.140 so you invent them.

00:15:30.720 Now I'm not saying he was invented.

00:15:32.000 It could be true.

00:15:33.160 Just don't assume

00:15:34.580 there's any credibility

00:15:35.440 to an anonymous source.

00:15:39.760 But it does seem to me

00:15:41.600 that it is almost

00:15:44.300 it's almost got to be true

00:15:46.080 that the FBI is trying hard

00:15:47.760 to turn things into white supremacy, right?

00:15:51.120 Don't you think

00:15:51.700 that the general idea

00:15:53.760 that the government

00:15:55.880 has given directions

00:15:57.020 to make sure you find

00:15:58.580 as much of this white supremacy 0.74

00:15:59.840 as you can, 0.73

00:16:01.040 even if you have to

00:16:02.180 shade it a little bit,

00:16:03.900 you know what I mean?

00:16:05.180 Even if you've got to be

00:16:05.940 a little subjective,

00:16:07.480 a little bit subjective

00:16:08.380 about what you call

00:16:09.200 white supremacists.

00:16:09.960 So that's going on.

00:16:15.420 Elon Musk tweeted

00:16:16.760 that his tweets

00:16:17.920 are being suppressed.

00:16:20.420 And I wondered

00:16:21.240 if he had stopped tweeting

00:16:22.300 because I had noticed

00:16:24.540 he was sort of missing

00:16:25.960 and that he says

00:16:27.400 his tweets are being suppressed.

00:16:28.740 And I looked at his tweets

00:16:29.640 and I thought,

00:16:30.240 oh,

00:16:30.880 I used to see these

00:16:32.260 all the time.

00:16:33.900 Now I don't.

00:16:34.820 So I wonder

00:16:39.620 if this is exactly

00:16:41.220 what it looks like.

00:16:43.020 Because exactly

00:16:43.980 what it looks like

00:16:44.940 is that

00:16:46.860 Elon

00:16:47.700 accused Twitter

00:16:49.620 of

00:16:50.140 messing with the algorithm

00:16:51.860 and then

00:16:53.740 they got mad

00:16:54.460 at Elon Musk

00:16:55.300 and so they messed

00:16:56.100 with the algorithm

00:16:56.780 to suppress him.

00:16:59.500 Now I don't know

00:17:00.460 if that happened

00:17:01.160 because again

00:17:02.660 this is a perfect

00:17:03.800 confirmation bias.

00:17:04.820 trap, right?

00:17:06.840 Isn't this story

00:17:07.940 a little too

00:17:10.000 on the nose?

00:17:12.320 Yeah,

00:17:12.880 you're going to get sick

00:17:13.660 of me saying this

00:17:14.560 but

00:17:15.640 I'm sorry

00:17:17.080 it's a little

00:17:18.820 on the nose.

00:17:20.880 Now I also

00:17:21.820 think it's true.

00:17:23.880 So both

00:17:24.740 things could be true,

00:17:25.940 right?

00:17:26.920 Something could be

00:17:27.680 a little too

00:17:28.140 on the nose

00:17:28.780 because it's true.

00:17:31.560 It doesn't always

00:17:32.520 mean it's false.

00:17:34.820 You know,

00:17:35.380 if we assume

00:17:36.060 that Twitter

00:17:37.000 treats everybody

00:17:37.800 the same

00:17:38.420 then he would

00:17:39.620 probably have

00:17:40.080 some algorithm

00:17:41.520 trouble too.

00:17:43.180 Right.

00:17:43.720 Being on the nose

00:17:44.880 doesn't mean

00:17:45.480 it didn't happen.

00:17:46.840 It just means

00:17:47.460 that that should

00:17:48.080 alert you to

00:17:49.920 a credibility

00:17:51.560 question.

00:17:52.500 That's all it should do.

00:17:54.840 Yeah,

00:17:55.320 I don't know.

00:17:55.660 It seems like

00:17:57.660 my Twitter account

00:17:58.560 is being suppressed

00:17:59.780 so why wouldn't

00:18:00.820 his?

00:18:02.340 So I'm assuming

00:18:02.940 it's true.

00:18:04.260 Sounds true.

00:18:06.200 Here's the part

00:18:07.000 that I doubt.

00:18:08.940 I doubt

00:18:09.520 that somebody

00:18:10.120 did it

00:18:10.780 like as a

00:18:12.500 conscious act.

00:18:14.380 I think maybe

00:18:15.000 the algorithm

00:18:15.520 did it.

00:18:16.860 What do you think?

00:18:18.440 I think the algorithm

00:18:19.520 did it

00:18:20.120 but maybe

00:18:21.720 it was just

00:18:22.200 part of a

00:18:22.880 you know,

00:18:23.220 some larger

00:18:23.880 algorithmic thing.

00:18:25.400 I think it's happening.

00:18:26.980 I just don't know

00:18:27.720 that somebody

00:18:28.120 went in and

00:18:28.600 tweaked the code

00:18:29.360 to suppress

00:18:30.980 Elon Musk

00:18:31.880 specifically.

00:18:33.600 Don't know about that.

00:18:35.480 But it does look

00:18:36.300 like he's

00:18:37.040 being suppressed.

00:18:40.340 All right.

00:18:43.340 Thomas Massey

00:18:44.300 had a tweet here.

00:18:45.800 I guess Biden

00:18:46.320 was on CBS

00:18:47.220 60 Minutes

00:18:48.300 last night

00:18:48.760 and when asked

00:18:50.560 about the

00:18:51.240 so-called

00:18:52.280 secrets

00:18:53.480 from the

00:18:54.020 Mar-a-Lago

00:18:54.500 boxes

00:18:55.020 he said

00:18:57.140 that no one

00:18:57.640 has briefed him

00:18:58.420 on the contents

00:18:59.600 of those

00:19:00.200 national security

00:19:01.380 secrets

00:19:01.940 but he thinks

00:19:05.180 that other people

00:19:06.180 are handling it.

00:19:10.000 Is that a problem?

00:19:12.660 Well,

00:19:13.160 no matter how

00:19:13.900 you interpret this

00:19:14.820 it's very bad.

00:19:16.800 I don't think

00:19:17.440 there's a good way

00:19:18.140 to interpret this.

00:19:19.180 Is there?

00:19:20.420 Can you think

00:19:21.180 of a good way?

00:19:22.280 All right.

00:19:24.020 Number one.

00:19:25.520 If the contents

00:19:26.480 of those boxes

00:19:27.280 are truly important

00:19:28.660 meaning that

00:19:29.480 there are secrets

00:19:30.100 that matter

00:19:30.620 and the president

00:19:32.740 hasn't been told

00:19:33.560 that's a very

00:19:35.940 big problem.

00:19:37.080 Would you agree?

00:19:38.780 That if what's

00:19:39.640 in there is important

00:19:40.520 and it's the number

00:19:42.180 one headline

00:19:42.840 etc.

00:19:43.500 and the president

00:19:44.580 of the United States

00:19:45.460 the keeper of all

00:19:46.400 of our secrets

00:19:46.980 hasn't been told

00:19:47.900 hasn't even been told

00:19:50.180 that's a gigantic

00:19:53.340 gigantic problem.

00:19:55.140 You'd all agree

00:19:55.740 with that, right?

00:19:56.340 I mean that's just

00:19:56.840 obvious.

00:19:58.800 Now what if

00:19:59.600 he has been told

00:20:00.640 and he's lying

00:20:03.400 on 60 Minutes?

00:20:05.560 Well given that

00:20:06.520 the entire

00:20:07.060 reason for running

00:20:08.520 for president

00:20:09.180 was to stop

00:20:10.160 all the lying

00:20:10.940 that's a big problem.

00:20:12.800 it's a really

00:20:14.520 big problem.

00:20:16.240 So if he's

00:20:17.680 telling the truth

00:20:18.480 it's a big problem.

00:20:20.140 If he's lying

00:20:21.280 that's a big problem.

00:20:25.080 What about

00:20:25.820 the other possibility?

00:20:27.620 That there's

00:20:28.460 nothing important

00:20:29.260 in the documents

00:20:30.180 and that's the reason

00:20:31.840 he hasn't been told.

00:20:34.340 That's a big problem.

00:20:36.460 That's a really

00:20:37.300 big problem.

00:20:39.380 Is there a third

00:20:40.360 possibility

00:20:40.940 that's not a really

00:20:41.740 big problem?

00:20:43.520 Because these are all

00:20:44.700 flaming red flags

00:20:46.420 that the country 0.98

00:20:47.760 is being screwed 0.97

00:20:49.000 aggressively 0.98

00:20:51.060 like right in front

00:20:52.260 of you.

00:20:53.580 And it doesn't matter

00:20:54.620 which one of those

00:20:55.300 is true.

00:20:56.120 Or a memory lapse,

00:20:57.200 right?

00:20:57.380 If it's a memory lapse

00:20:58.420 it's a big problem.

00:21:00.940 Every spin

00:21:01.900 you could put on this

00:21:02.780 no matter how you

00:21:03.640 interpret what it means

00:21:04.780 it's a big problem

00:21:06.520 in terms of

00:21:08.860 the quality

00:21:10.220 of our presidenting.

00:21:12.800 So I guess

00:21:15.260 we've just gotten

00:21:15.900 so beaten down

00:21:16.900 by incompetence

00:21:19.360 or the appearance

00:21:20.380 of it

00:21:20.740 that we're willing

00:21:21.820 to accept

00:21:22.280 just about anything

00:21:23.120 now.

00:21:23.640 It's like anything

00:21:24.260 goes at this point.

00:21:25.560 Just crazy stuff.

00:21:26.460 All right,

00:21:28.160 what do you do

00:21:28.700 in a country

00:21:29.500 where everybody's

00:21:30.480 crazy and nothing's

00:21:32.140 getting done

00:21:32.660 it seems like

00:21:33.360 sometimes?

00:21:33.840 Well, I decided

00:21:35.400 to see if I could

00:21:36.180 take control

00:21:36.880 of the country.

00:21:38.960 And here's the

00:21:39.620 funniest part

00:21:40.180 about this.

00:21:43.620 You might think

00:21:44.560 I'm kidding.

00:21:46.720 But here's the thing.

00:21:50.060 It's completely doable.

00:21:52.220 That doesn't mean

00:21:53.180 I'm likely

00:21:54.420 to get it done.

00:21:56.240 The odds

00:21:56.980 would be against me.

00:21:57.820 But there's

00:21:59.600 actually

00:21:59.980 a path

00:22:01.140 for me

00:22:01.600 to take

00:22:01.960 over the country.

00:22:03.460 It's unlikely.

00:22:05.260 It's unlikely.

00:22:06.280 And if it worked

00:22:06.820 I'd probably 0.97

00:22:07.140 get assassinated 0.99

00:22:07.920 in a day. 0.92

00:22:09.260 But the path

00:22:10.120 has opened up.

00:22:11.620 And here's

00:22:12.100 what it looks like.

00:22:13.740 Would you agree

00:22:14.520 that neither

00:22:15.580 candidate,

00:22:17.680 we assume

00:22:18.180 that it's going

00:22:18.620 to be Trump

00:22:19.100 versus Biden

00:22:19.800 starting to look

00:22:20.480 that way.

00:22:21.600 Does it look

00:22:22.260 like anybody

00:22:22.780 has a plan

00:22:23.460 to do anything

00:22:24.000 about fentanyl?

00:22:25.860 No, right?

00:22:27.100 It doesn't look

00:22:27.960 like it.

00:22:28.880 I haven't even

00:22:29.440 seen anybody

00:22:29.840 talk about it

00:22:30.520 in a way

00:22:30.940 that even seems

00:22:31.680 a little bit

00:22:32.220 serious.

00:22:33.120 Not at all.

00:22:34.500 And so it might

00:22:35.580 be the biggest

00:22:36.120 problem.

00:22:36.600 You could argue

00:22:37.100 what's the

00:22:37.500 biggest problem.

00:22:39.480 But our

00:22:40.160 government is

00:22:40.700 just missing

00:22:41.120 in action.

00:22:42.600 Now we also

00:22:43.400 have a

00:22:44.160 Joe Manchin

00:22:44.960 government,

00:22:45.720 meaning that

00:22:46.600 things are so

00:22:47.360 close that

00:22:48.800 all it takes

00:22:49.280 is one person

00:22:50.040 who is willing

00:22:50.520 to vote on

00:22:51.140 either side.

00:22:52.520 And that person

00:22:53.120 ends up

00:22:53.520 controlling stuff.

00:22:54.880 So I'm going

00:22:55.660 to do a

00:22:56.040 Joe Manchin

00:22:56.620 play to try

00:22:58.740 to control

00:22:59.260 just enough

00:23:00.100 people who

00:23:01.500 would be

00:23:01.800 willing to

00:23:02.360 say, they

00:23:03.980 don't have to

00:23:04.440 commit to it,

00:23:05.220 there would be

00:23:05.520 no contract,

00:23:07.080 but people

00:23:07.680 would be willing

00:23:08.220 to say that

00:23:09.260 there would be

00:23:09.600 a single issue

00:23:10.740 voter this

00:23:12.040 time.

00:23:13.540 And the single

00:23:14.360 issue would be

00:23:14.940 what the hell 0.93

00:23:15.340 are you doing

00:23:15.660 about fentanyl?

00:23:17.300 And I would

00:23:18.000 take an

00:23:19.360 aggressive plan,

00:23:20.720 even if I

00:23:21.180 didn't know

00:23:21.500 if it would

00:23:21.800 work, but at

00:23:23.300 least be

00:23:23.680 aggressive about

00:23:24.460 it.

00:23:25.440 And so

00:23:25.800 here's the

00:23:26.220 deal.

00:23:26.500 I tweeted

00:23:26.900 that whoever

00:23:28.980 comes up

00:23:29.600 with the

00:23:29.940 best plan,

00:23:31.120 if we can

00:23:31.660 get 10

00:23:32.160 million people

00:23:32.800 to commit,

00:23:34.360 that they

00:23:34.760 will vote

00:23:35.200 for whoever

00:23:35.740 has the

00:23:36.100 best fentanyl

00:23:36.940 plan.

00:23:37.780 Now again,

00:23:38.940 they just

00:23:39.340 have to say

00:23:39.900 they would

00:23:40.220 do it.

00:23:41.140 There's no

00:23:41.560 way to check

00:23:42.240 their intention.

00:23:43.860 And there's

00:23:44.280 no way to

00:23:44.640 check if they

00:23:45.100 voted.

00:23:45.500 It's not a

00:23:45.980 contract,

00:23:46.920 right?

00:23:47.300 You're not

00:23:47.900 agreeing.

00:23:50.400 Nobody's going

00:23:51.000 to say you

00:23:51.900 broke your 0.80

00:23:52.420 word, right?

00:23:53.240 That's not

00:23:53.940 part of

00:23:54.280 this.

00:23:55.120 I'm just

00:23:55.540 saying that

00:23:56.060 if you

00:23:56.340 could get

00:23:56.680 10 million

00:23:57.180 people to

00:23:57.760 say, you

00:23:58.540 know, if

00:23:59.480 one of you 1.00

00:24:00.000 assholes came 1.00

00:24:01.140 up with 1.00

00:24:01.480 something that

00:24:01.920 looked like an

00:24:02.440 actual plan,

00:24:03.940 you might get

00:24:05.160 my vote.

00:24:06.960 If I can get

00:24:07.760 10 million

00:24:08.260 people to

00:24:08.820 say that,

00:24:10.260 then they're

00:24:11.840 going to have

00:24:12.160 to come up

00:24:12.560 with a plan

00:24:13.080 and they're

00:24:13.420 going to have

00:24:13.680 to compete.

00:24:15.280 So I don't

00:24:16.120 want to control

00:24:16.780 the country.

00:24:17.800 I want the

00:24:18.440 people who are

00:24:18.940 running to

00:24:19.400 control the

00:24:19.900 country to give

00:24:21.240 us a plan.

00:24:23.260 And if

00:24:23.780 one of them

00:24:24.280 wants to

00:24:24.960 compete,

00:24:26.360 there's 10

00:24:27.700 million votes

00:24:28.320 that are at

00:24:28.900 least going to

00:24:29.240 be leaning in

00:24:29.900 your direction

00:24:30.400 more than

00:24:31.340 they would

00:24:31.660 have.

00:24:35.000 And, yeah,

00:24:36.140 that's right,

00:24:36.560 I don't vote,

00:24:38.220 but that's a

00:24:38.740 different topic.

00:24:40.160 There's a

00:24:40.440 reason for

00:24:40.800 that.

00:24:42.380 Now,

00:24:43.320 someone pointed

00:24:44.280 out on

00:24:44.940 Twitter,

00:24:45.640 correctly,

00:24:46.620 that I've

00:24:47.120 made this

00:24:47.560 claim before,

00:24:48.500 that I could

00:24:49.600 talk about

00:24:50.300 myself,

00:24:51.100 that I could

00:24:51.600 be a single

00:24:52.120 issue voter,

00:24:53.560 and I've

00:24:53.940 mentioned

00:24:54.420 different things.

00:24:55.280 For example,

00:24:55.720 I could be a

00:24:56.260 single issue

00:24:56.740 voter on a

00:24:58.440 president saying

00:24:59.100 we're going to

00:24:59.500 go gung-ho

00:25:00.220 for nuclear

00:25:00.900 energy.

00:25:02.120 We're just

00:25:02.740 going to get

00:25:03.220 rid of these

00:25:03.660 regulations,

00:25:04.660 we've got to

00:25:05.440 build 20 of

00:25:06.140 these in 10

00:25:06.680 years,

00:25:07.060 whatever it is.

00:25:08.160 And it

00:25:08.400 wouldn't matter

00:25:08.780 if it was

00:25:09.080 Democrat or

00:25:10.500 Republican.

00:25:11.620 If any

00:25:12.500 president said

00:25:13.200 that,

00:25:14.980 I would say,

00:25:16.440 all right,

00:25:16.800 that's probably

00:25:17.860 so important,

00:25:18.860 I'd be willing

00:25:19.560 to put up

00:25:20.040 with your

00:25:20.620 other badness

00:25:21.300 if I don't

00:25:21.660 like it.

00:25:22.740 What about

00:25:23.380 the school

00:25:24.380 boards?

00:25:26.020 If a

00:25:26.660 president said

00:25:27.420 my main

00:25:28.300 thing is I'm

00:25:28.860 going to try

00:25:29.140 to neuter

00:25:29.620 the school

00:25:30.080 boards and

00:25:30.600 give you

00:25:30.840 a school

00:25:31.160 choice,

00:25:32.480 I would

00:25:32.840 say,

00:25:33.440 I'm not

00:25:33.840 even sure,

00:25:34.900 I don't

00:25:35.200 care which

00:25:35.560 president that

00:25:36.220 was.

00:25:37.360 I don't

00:25:37.660 care,

00:25:37.920 Democrat or

00:25:38.460 Republican,

00:25:39.020 if you

00:25:39.320 can do

00:25:39.640 that for

00:25:40.140 me,

00:25:40.960 that would

00:25:41.380 be such

00:25:41.820 a big

00:25:42.100 issue that

00:25:42.660 I might

00:25:43.160 be influenced

00:25:44.340 by that

00:25:44.680 one topic.

00:25:45.960 Now,

00:25:46.420 there are

00:25:46.540 other people

00:25:46.900 who have

00:25:47.100 their own

00:25:47.380 one topic,

00:25:48.320 right?

00:25:48.480 Abortion

00:25:48.920 might be

00:25:49.360 your one

00:25:49.720 topic and

00:25:51.180 I wouldn't

00:25:51.740 argue with

00:25:52.240 you on

00:25:52.480 that,

00:25:53.540 if that's

00:25:54.420 important to

00:25:54.860 you.

00:25:55.740 I'm just

00:25:56.400 saying that

00:25:56.740 we have a

00:25:57.160 system that

00:25:57.680 doesn't work

00:25:58.440 and one

00:26:00.020 solution would

00:26:00.720 be to

00:26:01.800 force our

00:26:02.740 politicians to

00:26:04.400 compete.

00:26:06.180 Because do

00:26:06.860 you think

00:26:07.140 they're really

00:26:07.540 competing on

00:26:08.120 policy?

00:26:09.380 Do you

00:26:09.620 think Biden

00:26:10.140 and Trump,

00:26:10.760 when they run

00:26:11.140 together, run

00:26:11.820 against each

00:26:12.400 other, if

00:26:12.740 they do,

00:26:13.600 do you think

00:26:14.020 that they will

00:26:14.480 compete on

00:26:15.040 policy?

00:26:15.640 They'll

00:26:17.300 talk about

00:26:17.840 it, but

00:26:18.180 not really.

00:26:19.780 Not really.

00:26:20.980 Because Trump

00:26:21.520 will say the

00:26:21.980 same thing he

00:26:22.480 always said.

00:26:23.800 Biden will

00:26:24.280 say the

00:26:24.580 same thing he

00:26:25.100 always said.

00:26:25.820 And then

00:26:26.040 you're going

00:26:26.300 to say,

00:26:26.680 well, what

00:26:27.380 are either of

00:26:27.900 you going

00:26:28.180 to do about

00:26:28.720 the teachers

00:26:30.300 unions?

00:26:31.820 I think I

00:26:32.440 said school

00:26:32.920 boards instead

00:26:33.540 of teachers

00:26:33.920 unions.

00:26:34.500 I meant

00:26:34.720 teachers

00:26:35.040 unions.

00:26:35.960 What are

00:26:36.400 you going

00:26:36.560 to do

00:26:36.680 about teachers

00:26:37.120 unions?

00:26:38.540 Blah,

00:26:39.000 blah,

00:26:39.300 nothing.

00:26:39.980 What are

00:26:40.260 you going

00:26:40.400 to do

00:26:40.520 about

00:26:40.700 fentanyl?

00:26:41.240 nothing.

00:26:44.300 They're not

00:26:44.980 competing.

00:26:46.260 So I think

00:26:47.000 you need to

00:26:47.420 make Trump

00:26:47.880 compete.

00:26:48.400 He's not

00:26:48.740 competing.

00:26:51.100 What has

00:26:51.720 Trump offered? 1.00

00:26:52.880 Fuck 1.00

00:26:53.140 nothing, 1.00

00:26:53.540 right?

00:26:54.340 Nothing.

00:26:55.220 A return to

00:26:55.920 the way we

00:26:56.460 were?

00:26:57.260 That is so

00:26:58.100 lame and 1.00

00:26:58.740 pathetic. 1.00

00:27:00.260 We need 1.00

00:27:00.840 actual

00:27:01.520 aggressive

00:27:03.200 plans for

00:27:04.040 making things

00:27:04.600 better.

00:27:05.480 Yeah, I

00:27:05.720 mean, you

00:27:06.140 assume Trump

00:27:07.160 would tighten

00:27:09.000 up the border

00:27:09.540 and stuff,

00:27:10.320 but that's not

00:27:10.800 going to help

00:27:11.380 you with

00:27:11.700 fentanyl

00:27:12.100 too much.

00:27:15.540 Yeah, there's

00:27:16.160 the image

00:27:17.320 of the dead

00:27:18.340 people.

00:27:21.260 Make heroin

00:27:21.920 cheaper than

00:27:22.440 fentanyl?

00:27:23.180 You know, let

00:27:23.600 me also say

00:27:24.220 that I don't

00:27:24.720 know what

00:27:24.960 the right

00:27:25.240 answer is.

00:27:26.760 I don't

00:27:27.260 know what

00:27:27.460 the right

00:27:27.720 answer is.

00:27:29.220 You know,

00:27:29.400 some say

00:27:29.960 legalize it

00:27:31.080 all.

00:27:32.300 Maybe.

00:27:33.420 I mean,

00:27:33.860 it might

00:27:34.100 be.

00:27:34.920 Maybe you

00:27:35.720 just test it

00:27:36.480 somewhere.

00:27:37.380 Anything you

00:27:37.940 can test,

00:27:38.500 I'm not

00:27:38.740 going to argue

00:27:39.140 about.

00:27:39.780 I'm going

00:27:40.000 to say,

00:27:40.240 well,

00:27:40.500 then test

00:27:40.920 it.

00:27:41.820 Find out.

00:27:43.280 Might be

00:27:43.800 exactly what

00:27:44.400 you need.

00:27:47.380 Yeah, and

00:27:47.980 the people

00:27:48.300 saying that

00:27:48.820 if you

00:27:49.100 made heroin

00:27:49.680 cheaper and

00:27:50.620 legal,

00:27:51.400 then the

00:27:52.300 fentanyl

00:27:52.680 wouldn't be

00:27:53.100 competitive.

00:27:54.800 But I

00:27:55.380 don't know,

00:27:56.400 is that the

00:27:56.840 best we

00:27:57.220 can do?

00:27:58.460 Is the

00:27:59.060 best we

00:27:59.420 can do

00:27:59.840 to addict

00:28:00.860 people to

00:28:01.380 heroin

00:28:01.680 instead of

00:28:02.280 fentanyl?

00:28:03.980 It might

00:28:04.520 be.

00:28:05.100 That might

00:28:05.520 actually be

00:28:06.000 the best we

00:28:06.480 can do.

00:28:06.800 But I

00:28:08.200 think we

00:28:08.540 could try

00:28:08.860 harder than

00:28:09.280 that.

00:28:12.560 So here's

00:28:13.400 the interesting

00:28:13.900 thing.

00:28:15.120 January 6th

00:28:16.320 is this

00:28:17.620 major headline

00:28:18.500 for however

00:28:20.060 many months

00:28:20.660 now.

00:28:21.480 And it's

00:28:22.440 based on the 0.99

00:28:23.060 ridiculous 0.98

00:28:23.640 assumption 0.99

00:28:24.200 that whatever

00:28:25.720 happened on

00:28:26.220 January 6th

00:28:26.940 was something

00:28:27.460 like an

00:28:28.040 insurrection

00:28:28.540 or a

00:28:29.060 coup.

00:28:29.260 when nobody

00:28:32.040 can explain

00:28:32.720 how people

00:28:33.280 walking into

00:28:34.500 a building

00:28:35.100 overthrows a

00:28:36.420 country.

00:28:37.840 Nobody can

00:28:38.500 explain that.

00:28:40.120 Okay,

00:28:40.800 suppose they'd

00:28:42.940 all gone in

00:28:43.660 the capital

00:28:44.200 and just

00:28:44.580 sort of

00:28:44.920 stayed there.

00:28:46.640 Does that

00:28:47.180 make them

00:28:47.520 own the

00:28:47.820 country?

00:28:48.640 Do they

00:28:48.920 get to

00:28:49.240 make some

00:28:49.700 legislation

00:28:50.260 because they're

00:28:50.840 squatting in

00:28:51.400 the building?

00:28:52.800 Would we

00:28:53.160 just roll

00:28:53.640 over and

00:28:53.980 say,

00:28:54.200 oh,

00:28:54.440 well,

00:28:54.680 they got

00:28:54.960 our

00:28:55.080 building.

00:28:55.940 They got

00:28:56.440 our

00:28:56.580 building.

00:28:57.360 So the 0.92

00:28:58.060 ridiculousness 0.91

00:28:58.960 of the 0.88

00:28:59.780 claim that

00:29:00.660 that was

00:29:00.980 an

00:29:01.140 insurrection

00:29:01.560 attempt is

00:29:03.040 insane.

00:29:04.500 But here

00:29:05.060 I'm doing

00:29:05.480 an insurrection

00:29:06.080 attempt right

00:29:06.880 in front of

00:29:07.320 you and

00:29:08.060 people will

00:29:08.520 just ignore

00:29:09.020 it.

00:29:11.820 Because

00:29:12.380 imagine if

00:29:12.980 this works.

00:29:14.300 Everything I'm

00:29:14.940 doing is

00:29:15.260 legal and

00:29:15.900 transparent,

00:29:16.820 so I don't

00:29:17.220 have any

00:29:17.520 legal risk.

00:29:18.740 But I

00:29:19.240 am,

00:29:19.980 literally,

00:29:21.440 no joke,

00:29:23.060 trying to

00:29:23.480 take control

00:29:24.060 of the

00:29:24.360 government.

00:29:26.240 Because if

00:29:26.980 this works,

00:29:27.720 and it's

00:29:27.920 very

00:29:28.060 low likelihood,

00:29:29.420 right?

00:29:29.740 But if

00:29:30.100 it worked,

00:29:31.440 it would

00:29:32.320 become a

00:29:32.780 model for

00:29:33.220 the next

00:29:33.600 topic.

00:29:34.960 And then I

00:29:35.400 would just

00:29:35.660 do it again.

00:29:36.500 And I

00:29:36.740 would just

00:29:37.020 Joe Manchin

00:29:37.560 this thing

00:29:38.040 until the

00:29:39.020 government

00:29:39.280 had to

00:29:39.680 compete.

00:29:40.620 Now,

00:29:41.080 what I

00:29:41.320 want is

00:29:42.240 to not

00:29:42.580 have power.

00:29:45.120 I know

00:29:45.640 it's hard

00:29:45.900 to believe,

00:29:47.000 but I

00:29:47.660 don't really

00:29:48.000 want a

00:29:48.380 job.

00:29:49.900 I don't

00:29:50.780 want to

00:29:51.020 run the

00:29:51.420 government,

00:29:52.360 make sure 0.98

00:29:52.800 the garbage

00:29:53.260 gets picked 1.00

00:29:53.800 up and shit. 0.99

00:29:54.520 I don't 0.99

00:29:54.760 want to

00:29:54.980 do that.

00:29:56.080 I just

00:29:56.440 want them

00:29:56.840 to compete.

00:29:57.460 But if

00:29:58.180 they're not

00:29:58.480 going to

00:29:58.720 compete,

00:29:59.100 I'm just

00:29:59.400 going to 0.99

00:29:59.620 fucking 1.00

00:29:59.860 try to 1.00

00:30:00.260 take

00:30:00.460 control.

00:30:01.480 So I'm

00:30:01.920 literally

00:30:02.300 going to

00:30:02.620 try to

00:30:02.880 take control

00:30:03.400 of the

00:30:03.640 government

00:30:03.940 policy,

00:30:05.240 for fentanyl,

00:30:06.120 at least.

00:30:07.400 And if it

00:30:08.080 determines who

00:30:08.620 the next

00:30:09.020 president is,

00:30:10.620 so be it.

00:30:11.480 If they don't

00:30:12.080 want to

00:30:12.380 compete,

00:30:13.240 they don't

00:30:13.740 get to win.

00:30:14.920 That's just

00:30:15.420 the way it's

00:30:15.800 supposed to

00:30:16.140 work.

00:30:16.980 Now,

00:30:17.900 what would

00:30:19.460 it take

00:30:20.080 for me to

00:30:21.860 succeed?

00:30:22.320 So I've

00:30:23.940 got three

00:30:24.380 quarters of

00:30:25.020 a million

00:30:25.500 Twitter

00:30:26.580 followers.

00:30:29.000 It probably

00:30:29.800 would take

00:30:30.320 10 million

00:30:30.980 retweets.

00:30:33.000 And then I

00:30:33.800 would actually

00:30:34.240 be in charge

00:30:34.760 of the

00:30:34.980 country.

00:30:39.260 Anybody

00:30:39.700 want to

00:30:40.020 argue with

00:30:40.380 that?

00:30:41.300 10 million

00:30:42.060 retweets on

00:30:42.740 that point,

00:30:43.980 and then people

00:30:44.980 would start

00:30:45.380 following me

00:30:46.200 to see,

00:30:46.840 okay,

00:30:47.200 who do you

00:30:47.600 think has

00:30:48.000 the best

00:30:48.400 fentanyl

00:30:49.080 policy?

00:30:49.500 And I

00:30:50.720 would say,

00:30:51.200 on day

00:30:51.500 one,

00:30:51.780 I'd say,

00:30:52.100 nobody,

00:30:52.860 nobody.

00:30:53.540 There's zero

00:30:54.100 competition.

00:30:55.460 So I

00:30:56.020 wouldn't even

00:30:56.440 recommend,

00:30:57.280 I would make

00:30:57.720 no recommendation

00:30:58.440 based on

00:30:59.340 today's

00:30:59.980 situation.

00:31:01.340 But,

00:31:02.000 if the

00:31:02.940 election heats

00:31:03.560 up and one

00:31:04.080 of them

00:31:04.300 comes up

00:31:04.740 with an

00:31:05.000 actual plan,

00:31:07.320 then I

00:31:07.840 might encourage

00:31:09.120 the 10

00:31:09.540 million to

00:31:10.140 lean in one

00:31:10.800 direction

00:31:11.140 versus the 0.55

00:31:11.740 other.

00:31:13.220 Now,

00:31:14.200 it's just

00:31:14.620 sort of a

00:31:15.060 pressure on

00:31:15.720 our politicians

00:31:17.040 to do better,

00:31:17.900 right?

00:31:18.240 To compete.

00:31:18.880 They're just

00:31:19.560 not competing.

00:31:21.400 And the

00:31:23.540 reason they

00:31:23.940 don't compete

00:31:24.400 is that we

00:31:24.880 don't make

00:31:25.300 it important

00:31:25.960 for them

00:31:26.320 to compete.

00:31:27.400 As long

00:31:28.060 as they

00:31:28.340 have your

00:31:28.700 vote reliably

00:31:29.600 just by

00:31:30.120 making you

00:31:30.600 mad,

00:31:31.420 why would

00:31:31.740 they compete?

00:31:32.900 They could

00:31:33.300 just make

00:31:33.660 you mad,

00:31:34.620 and then 0.93

00:31:34.920 you'll vote

00:31:35.240 for their

00:31:35.500 side.

00:31:36.220 Look at

00:31:36.560 what that

00:31:37.100 other side

00:31:37.660 is doing.

00:31:39.720 You know,

00:31:40.060 if the

00:31:41.360 entire election

00:31:42.140 is about how

00:31:42.760 bad the

00:31:43.220 other team

00:31:43.720 is,

00:31:44.900 that's not

00:31:45.440 even governing.

00:31:46.660 That's

00:31:47.020 nothing.

00:31:47.360 So we've

00:31:49.500 allowed our

00:31:50.000 government to

00:31:50.860 descend into

00:31:51.800 complete

00:31:52.740 uselessness,

00:31:54.680 and maybe

00:31:56.660 there needs

00:31:57.120 to be some

00:31:57.720 counter-pressure.

00:32:00.420 So this is

00:32:01.220 the offer,

00:32:02.560 and I don't

00:32:04.760 think that I

00:32:05.220 can break out

00:32:05.820 of my social

00:32:07.740 media bubble.

00:32:09.500 You know,

00:32:09.740 it would have

00:32:10.400 to penetrate

00:32:11.040 to the Democrats

00:32:12.380 to make any

00:32:12.980 difference at all,

00:32:14.040 which I don't

00:32:14.600 think I can do.

00:32:15.300 But it

00:32:16.280 would only

00:32:16.660 take one

00:32:19.300 prominent

00:32:19.980 Democrat

00:32:21.440 to retweet

00:32:22.560 it,

00:32:23.580 and you're

00:32:24.200 off to the

00:32:24.580 races.

00:32:26.600 Because that

00:32:27.260 would be

00:32:27.520 news of

00:32:28.280 itself.

00:32:29.240 So I

00:32:30.260 can't make

00:32:30.740 this happen.

00:32:31.580 It would

00:32:31.960 require,

00:32:32.720 you know,

00:32:33.160 larger blue

00:32:34.040 checks to

00:32:34.580 say,

00:32:34.860 you know,

00:32:35.840 maybe,

00:32:36.440 let's give

00:32:36.780 it a shot.

00:32:39.940 Twitter

00:32:40.440 isn't

00:32:40.920 God.

00:32:41.380 Okay,

00:32:43.780 that was

00:32:44.020 the most 0.98

00:32:44.300 useless 0.94

00:32:44.620 comment of 0.99

00:32:45.300 the day.

00:32:46.180 Thank you

00:32:46.740 for not

00:32:47.080 understanding

00:32:47.580 anything.

00:32:55.700 You read

00:32:56.400 it,

00:32:56.620 yeah.

00:32:58.180 If they

00:32:58.740 don't address

00:32:59.320 the issue,

00:33:01.320 they're

00:33:01.420 Hitler. 0.57

00:33:01.620 All right.

00:33:09.980 Twitter

00:33:10.420 is a

00:33:10.720 media

00:33:10.880 source.

00:33:11.860 All right,

00:33:12.180 give me

00:33:13.320 a reaction

00:33:15.780 to my

00:33:16.220 plan.

00:33:16.940 Number

00:33:17.160 one,

00:33:18.360 is it

00:33:18.740 feasible

00:33:19.200 that I

00:33:20.240 could ever

00:33:20.920 control a

00:33:21.720 block of

00:33:22.260 voters to

00:33:23.580 help them

00:33:24.040 decide on

00:33:24.860 the one

00:33:25.200 issue which

00:33:27.080 way to

00:33:27.420 lead?

00:33:28.260 Is it

00:33:28.600 feasible?

00:33:29.840 It is,

00:33:30.640 actually.

00:33:31.440 I think it's

00:33:31.940 feasible.

00:33:32.780 Now,

00:33:33.120 that's different

00:33:33.600 than being

00:33:33.940 likely.

00:33:35.180 It's very

00:33:35.700 unlikely,

00:33:37.080 because it

00:33:37.420 would be a

00:33:38.900 remarkable thing

00:33:39.600 if it

00:33:39.760 happened.

00:33:39.980 But it's

00:33:41.220 in the

00:33:41.800 realm of

00:33:42.180 things that

00:33:42.600 can happen.

00:33:43.560 Because

00:33:43.860 remember,

00:33:44.280 the entire

00:33:44.760 friction,

00:33:46.720 here's the

00:33:47.540 entire

00:33:47.860 friction.

00:33:49.940 That might

00:33:51.040 be a good

00:33:51.360 idea.

00:33:51.820 Click.

00:33:53.320 Literally,

00:33:54.020 I'm just

00:33:54.340 trying to get

00:33:54.780 10 million

00:33:55.240 people to

00:33:55.740 move a

00:33:56.100 thumb.

00:33:57.160 Boop.

00:33:58.120 That's it.

00:33:59.160 Just move a

00:33:59.840 thumb.

00:34:00.260 Read it and

00:34:00.680 go, okay.

00:34:02.360 With three

00:34:03.160 quarters of a

00:34:03.780 million people

00:34:04.480 following them,

00:34:05.860 to move their

00:34:08.400 thumb,

00:34:09.520 click,

00:34:09.800 click,

00:34:09.980 there's no

00:34:12.540 downside.

00:34:14.260 Nobody's

00:34:14.780 committing anything.

00:34:15.820 All you're

00:34:16.220 doing is

00:34:16.560 saying, well,

00:34:17.520 if this puts

00:34:18.440 pressure on the

00:34:19.040 government to

00:34:19.520 compete better,

00:34:21.220 everybody wins.

00:34:22.560 Make them

00:34:23.100 compete.

00:34:25.220 So, I put it

00:34:26.660 out there,

00:34:27.160 because I

00:34:27.600 think my

00:34:28.040 odds of

00:34:28.640 controlling the

00:34:30.040 country are

00:34:30.520 greater than

00:34:31.180 the January

00:34:31.680 6th people.

00:34:33.940 How about

00:34:34.280 that comparison?

00:34:35.980 What is

00:34:36.860 more likely

00:34:37.500 that I

00:34:38.060 could wrest

00:34:39.880 control from

00:34:40.740 the government,

00:34:41.420 at least on

00:34:41.960 this topic,

00:34:42.460 or that the

00:34:44.440 January 6th people

00:34:45.320 could take over

00:34:46.040 the government?

00:34:47.020 It's not even

00:34:47.820 close.

00:34:48.960 So, we don't

00:34:49.540 even know the

00:34:50.380 difference between

00:34:51.080 wet and dry,

00:34:52.020 up and down.

00:34:53.340 Here I am

00:34:54.020 literally and

00:34:55.020 publicly putting

00:34:57.240 a legitimate

00:34:57.920 attempt together

00:34:58.760 to take control

00:34:59.940 of the government

00:35:00.640 of the United

00:35:01.200 States, at least

00:35:02.620 on this topic.

00:35:03.380 And people

00:35:06.320 will treat that

00:35:06.920 like it's

00:35:07.880 sort of no

00:35:08.520 big deal.

00:35:09.880 But because the

00:35:10.660 press tells you

00:35:11.580 that January 6th

00:35:12.460 was an insurrection

00:35:13.320 because some

00:35:14.320 people were in

00:35:14.900 a room,

00:35:15.800 that's the

00:35:18.060 story for two

00:35:18.680 years.

00:35:21.380 All right.

00:35:27.620 I should wear

00:35:28.560 a Viking hat

00:35:29.300 that could work.

00:35:29.800 What percent

00:35:32.900 of Americans

00:35:33.540 are not on

00:35:34.260 Twitter?

00:35:35.240 So, that

00:35:36.120 doesn't matter.

00:35:37.720 It doesn't

00:35:38.500 matter how many

00:35:39.140 are not on

00:35:39.980 Twitter because

00:35:41.820 the plan doesn't

00:35:43.320 work if it stays

00:35:44.320 on Twitter,

00:35:45.100 right?

00:35:45.540 So, I agree

00:35:46.060 with that.

00:35:46.860 Twitter by itself

00:35:47.660 is not big

00:35:48.140 enough.

00:35:48.760 But if something

00:35:49.440 trended on

00:35:50.140 Twitter, it

00:35:51.360 would jump over

00:35:51.960 to Facebook,

00:35:52.840 it would jump

00:35:53.220 over to

00:35:53.520 Instagram,

00:35:54.600 it would jump

00:35:55.040 over to

00:35:55.420 TikTok.

00:35:56.740 So, Twitter

00:35:57.480 would just be

00:35:58.060 sort of the

00:35:59.720 starter.

00:36:01.580 But it would

00:36:02.680 have to, you

00:36:03.620 know, get a

00:36:04.620 burn of its

00:36:06.140 own to make

00:36:07.080 a difference.

00:36:11.640 Now, I've

00:36:13.060 been watching

00:36:13.580 your comments

00:36:14.320 go by, and

00:36:15.200 the weirdest

00:36:15.600 thing about

00:36:16.100 this is there

00:36:16.680 doesn't seem

00:36:17.200 to be much

00:36:17.820 doubt that

00:36:18.460 it's possible.

00:36:21.620 So, we'll

00:36:22.260 see.

00:36:23.320 We'll see.

00:36:24.700 You know,

00:36:25.100 it's funny,

00:36:25.720 I was just

00:36:26.280 sitting here

00:36:26.700 yesterday being

00:36:28.240 angry again

00:36:29.060 about the

00:36:29.640 lack of

00:36:30.220 action on

00:36:30.980 fentanyl.

00:36:32.700 And when it

00:36:33.980 occurred to

00:36:34.440 me that I

00:36:35.360 could just

00:36:35.740 change it

00:36:36.120 myself, it

00:36:39.120 was the

00:36:39.400 weirdest

00:36:39.660 thought.

00:36:40.840 I'm just

00:36:41.200 sitting there

00:36:41.560 thinking,

00:36:42.700 I wonder if I

00:36:43.180 could change

00:36:43.600 it.

00:36:44.580 And then I

00:36:45.000 realized, okay,

00:36:46.360 I do have the

00:36:46.960 talent.

00:36:47.980 In other words,

00:36:48.500 I could frame

00:36:49.200 it in a way

00:36:49.640 that was

00:36:49.920 compelling.

00:36:51.420 And I

00:36:52.440 almost have

00:36:53.280 enough attention.

00:36:54.160 I don't have

00:36:54.660 enough attention.

00:36:55.940 So, the

00:36:56.360 size of my

00:36:56.980 platform is

00:36:57.520 not nearly

00:36:58.000 big enough

00:36:58.400 to make

00:36:58.900 this change.

00:36:59.920 So, I

00:37:00.220 would have

00:37:00.460 to leave

00:37:00.800 the platform

00:37:01.300 and other

00:37:02.240 people would

00:37:02.640 have to

00:37:02.880 embrace it

00:37:03.400 at some

00:37:03.840 scale.

00:37:04.640 Otherwise,

00:37:05.100 it doesn't

00:37:05.400 happen.

00:37:11.340 All right,

00:37:11.960 Erica, if

00:37:13.040 your only job

00:37:14.100 over here,

00:37:14.820 you're not the

00:37:15.260 good Erica,

00:37:15.820 you're the

00:37:16.100 bad Erica.

00:37:16.840 There's a

00:37:17.220 bad Erica

00:37:17.680 over here.

00:37:18.940 So, we're

00:37:19.240 going to hide

00:37:19.520 you on that

00:37:20.060 channel.

00:37:21.180 You're now

00:37:21.620 gone, Erica.

00:37:22.260 You can

00:37:23.540 comment all

00:37:24.120 you like.

00:37:24.560 Nobody will

00:37:24.920 see it.

00:37:30.700 Wait, hold

00:37:31.840 on, Geomac.

00:37:33.300 Somebody came

00:37:34.020 in late.

00:37:36.360 Somebody on

00:37:37.020 YouTube came

00:37:37.600 in late and

00:37:38.440 did not catch

00:37:39.100 the simultaneous

00:37:39.760 sip.

00:37:41.220 We're going

00:37:41.760 to do a

00:37:42.000 make-up sip?

00:37:43.180 I don't do

00:37:43.940 this often.

00:37:45.780 You need to

00:37:46.640 be on time.

00:37:48.220 All right,

00:37:48.680 and so I

00:37:49.100 don't want to

00:37:49.440 reward lateness.

00:37:50.300 but I'm

00:37:51.720 going to.

00:37:53.360 How about

00:37:53.920 the interim

00:37:56.920 interstitial

00:37:57.940 simultaneous

00:37:59.720 sip that

00:38:01.460 has never

00:38:01.960 been a

00:38:02.600 thing but

00:38:03.140 could become

00:38:03.720 a thing

00:38:04.060 because it's

00:38:04.560 so awesome.

00:38:05.920 Get ready

00:38:06.400 for the

00:38:07.900 make-up

00:38:08.280 simultaneous

00:38:08.840 sip.

00:38:09.260 Go.

00:38:14.300 Oh.

00:38:16.380 That was

00:38:17.120 50% because

00:38:18.400 I care about

00:38:19.260 my viewers

00:38:20.000 and 50%

00:38:21.080 because I

00:38:21.600 was thirsty.

00:38:23.040 But you

00:38:23.260 put those

00:38:23.660 together,

00:38:24.840 action.

00:38:27.560 All right,

00:38:28.120 I'm going

00:38:28.360 to leave

00:38:28.660 you with

00:38:29.240 one gift.

00:38:32.660 Anybody

00:38:32.980 want a

00:38:33.420 parting gift?

00:38:35.000 I'd like

00:38:35.600 to put this

00:38:36.080 at the end

00:38:36.620 to train

00:38:37.740 you to stay

00:38:38.340 till the end

00:38:38.980 because when

00:38:40.300 there's nuggets,

00:38:41.500 they'll be

00:38:41.780 at the end.

00:38:43.260 Here comes

00:38:43.840 a nugget.

00:38:45.960 I'm going

00:38:46.580 to hypnotize

00:38:47.620 you.

00:38:47.800 So if

00:38:49.840 that's not

00:38:50.320 for you,

00:38:51.360 you should

00:38:52.240 say good

00:38:54.060 day.

00:38:55.060 I'm not

00:38:55.580 going to

00:38:55.760 put you

00:38:56.020 into a

00:38:56.340 trance.

00:38:57.620 This will

00:38:58.080 be a

00:38:58.400 talking

00:38:58.980 hypnosis.

00:39:00.520 I'm

00:39:00.900 simply going

00:39:01.340 to reframe

00:39:02.000 something for

00:39:02.620 you to

00:39:03.980 take some

00:39:04.400 of your

00:39:04.600 problems

00:39:05.000 away.

00:39:07.320 Now,

00:39:07.960 actually,

00:39:08.400 they won't

00:39:08.620 go away. 0.82

00:39:09.120 They'll

00:39:09.300 diminish,

00:39:10.580 which is

00:39:11.240 good.

00:39:11.440 You just

00:39:13.200 want them

00:39:13.520 diminished.

00:39:14.640 Now,

00:39:15.260 this is a

00:39:15.680 topic that

00:39:16.120 you've heard

00:39:16.440 before,

00:39:17.240 but what's

00:39:17.860 powerful about

00:39:18.520 this topic

00:39:19.080 is that each

00:39:19.780 time you

00:39:20.240 hear it,

00:39:21.720 it gets

00:39:22.120 stronger.

00:39:23.760 So it's

00:39:24.460 something that

00:39:25.120 you've thought

00:39:25.920 of on your

00:39:26.420 own,

00:39:27.080 of course,

00:39:28.360 and what I'm

00:39:29.140 going to say

00:39:29.500 will be

00:39:29.960 even obvious.

00:39:32.160 It'll strike

00:39:32.720 you as obvious,

00:39:34.060 but it will

00:39:34.820 still work

00:39:35.580 because it's

00:39:37.120 an obviousness

00:39:38.040 you want to

00:39:38.500 focus on.

00:39:40.080 And what

00:39:40.620 becomes true 0.96

00:39:41.400 are the things

00:39:41.980 you spend

00:39:42.400 your time

00:39:42.780 thinking about.

00:39:43.960 So I'm

00:39:45.040 going to

00:39:45.240 change you

00:39:45.720 from thinking

00:39:46.400 about something

00:39:47.060 else that

00:39:48.220 maybe was

00:39:48.740 bothersome to

00:39:50.300 thinking about

00:39:51.000 something that

00:39:51.720 will make you

00:39:52.320 feel better.

00:39:53.400 And all I'm

00:39:54.320 going to do

00:39:54.640 is change

00:39:55.100 your focus.

00:39:56.600 And that

00:39:56.840 will be

00:39:57.100 good enough.

00:39:59.140 And now

00:39:59.820 I'm going to

00:40:00.140 do it right

00:40:00.600 in front of

00:40:01.020 you.

00:40:02.420 You know

00:40:03.060 those things

00:40:03.720 in your past

00:40:04.540 that are

00:40:05.200 giving you

00:40:05.680 PTSD and

00:40:07.080 trauma and

00:40:08.040 they're haunting

00:40:09.180 your thoughts?

00:40:11.560 They're part

00:40:12.280 of something

00:40:12.660 that doesn't

00:40:13.120 exist.

00:40:14.620 History.

00:40:16.240 History

00:40:16.800 doesn't exist.

00:40:18.860 You can't

00:40:19.720 grab a

00:40:20.140 handful of

00:40:20.700 history.

00:40:22.120 It's something

00:40:22.920 that you've

00:40:23.340 made up in

00:40:23.800 your mind

00:40:24.280 as important.

00:40:25.780 What is

00:40:26.500 true is that

00:40:27.140 you are who

00:40:27.760 you are right

00:40:28.380 now.

00:40:29.520 That's what's

00:40:30.120 true.

00:40:32.120 Release on

00:40:33.040 everything that's

00:40:33.720 happened until

00:40:34.860 this moment.

00:40:36.600 Just imagine

00:40:37.540 that you're

00:40:38.200 reborn.

00:40:40.300 Imagine that

00:40:40.880 you popped

00:40:41.300 into existence

00:40:42.020 now.

00:40:43.880 You'll

00:40:44.400 still have

00:40:44.800 those things

00:40:45.440 that feel

00:40:45.820 like memories

00:40:46.420 but now

00:40:47.420 they're just

00:40:47.880 loose wiring

00:40:48.720 in your

00:40:49.100 brain.

00:40:50.460 They're not

00:40:51.280 about something

00:40:52.060 that was real

00:40:52.860 and happened

00:40:53.420 in the past

00:40:54.160 because the

00:40:54.960 past doesn't

00:40:55.460 exist.

00:40:56.640 They are now

00:40:57.260 nothing but

00:40:57.820 loose wiring

00:40:59.040 in your brain

00:40:59.720 and you just

00:41:00.920 popped into

00:41:01.500 existence and

00:41:02.480 you notice some

00:41:03.160 loose wiring.

00:41:04.480 That's funny.

00:41:06.300 That loose wiring

00:41:06.980 is making me

00:41:07.640 think about

00:41:08.180 something that

00:41:09.380 doesn't even

00:41:09.800 exist because

00:41:11.260 it's the past.

00:41:13.020 So it's not

00:41:13.720 really about the

00:41:14.380 past.

00:41:14.900 It's not about

00:41:15.360 anything that's

00:41:15.880 important.

00:41:16.520 It's about a 0.56

00:41:16.920 few loose wires.

00:41:19.220 And how do

00:41:20.940 you make those

00:41:21.400 loose wires

00:41:22.060 stop bothering

00:41:22.960 you?

00:41:24.500 You're doing it

00:41:25.280 right now.

00:41:27.060 Just move to

00:41:27.900 the present.

00:41:30.000 Pick up any

00:41:30.660 object in front

00:41:32.360 of you.

00:41:33.060 Just anything.

00:41:34.320 I've got my

00:41:34.900 phone here.

00:41:36.200 You might have

00:41:37.000 a pen or a

00:41:37.820 piece of paper.

00:41:38.320 And just look

00:41:39.340 at it.

00:41:40.340 It exists right

00:41:41.280 now.

00:41:42.320 This is who

00:41:42.840 you are right

00:41:43.400 now.

00:41:44.560 You are the

00:41:45.180 person feeling

00:41:45.840 this and

00:41:46.500 experiencing this

00:41:47.440 right now.

00:41:48.560 Your history

00:41:49.160 doesn't exist.

00:41:52.040 Let it go.

00:41:54.240 You are what

00:41:56.160 you are right

00:41:56.700 now.

00:41:58.100 This is you.

00:41:59.780 You just got

00:42:00.780 reborn.

00:42:02.540 Everything that

00:42:03.340 happened before

00:42:03.980 this doesn't

00:42:05.620 count.

00:42:06.860 Unless it was

00:42:07.680 good.

00:42:08.600 If it was

00:42:08.960 good you

00:42:09.280 can take

00:42:09.660 it with

00:42:09.920 you and

00:42:10.160 make yourself

00:42:10.860 feel good.

00:42:11.700 But anything

00:42:12.160 that was

00:42:12.460 bothering you

00:42:13.060 was just

00:42:14.380 an interpretation.

00:42:16.620 It's not

00:42:17.200 real.

00:42:18.940 Your past

00:42:19.660 can't bite

00:42:20.420 you.

00:42:21.220 Can't hurt

00:42:21.720 you.

00:42:22.720 It's gone.

00:42:24.400 In fact,

00:42:25.300 what could

00:42:25.620 be better

00:42:26.100 than something

00:42:27.560 that bothered

00:42:28.180 you being

00:42:29.620 gone?

00:42:31.060 It's gone.

00:42:31.920 You just

00:42:33.540 got reborn.

00:42:35.320 Now,

00:42:35.740 every time

00:42:36.280 you remind

00:42:36.840 yourself of

00:42:37.400 this,

00:42:38.380 just touch

00:42:39.060 yourself,

00:42:39.980 look around,

00:42:41.460 oh,

00:42:41.740 there's nothing

00:42:42.140 in the room

00:42:42.520 here with

00:42:42.860 me.

00:42:43.620 The only

00:42:44.100 thing in

00:42:44.380 the room

00:42:44.620 here with

00:42:45.000 me are

00:42:45.500 objects.

00:42:47.080 And the

00:42:47.620 objects are

00:42:48.080 not hurting

00:42:48.460 me.

00:42:48.700 I like

00:42:48.960 these objects.

00:42:49.660 I bought

00:42:49.940 them myself.

00:42:51.500 It's just

00:42:51.840 objects.

00:42:52.240 objects.

00:42:54.720 Now,

00:42:56.040 having just

00:42:58.240 experienced

00:42:58.660 this for

00:42:59.640 the last

00:43:00.060 few minutes,

00:43:02.080 you can

00:43:03.480 already feel

00:43:04.040 it.

00:43:05.200 You can

00:43:05.880 already feel

00:43:06.440 a little

00:43:06.700 weight come

00:43:07.120 off.

00:43:08.280 And that

00:43:08.800 little feeling

00:43:09.500 you can

00:43:09.840 reinforce.

00:43:11.200 It only

00:43:11.660 has to be

00:43:12.200 a small

00:43:12.880 sensation.

00:43:13.920 It could

00:43:14.300 be even

00:43:14.600 smaller than

00:43:15.200 a feeling.

00:43:16.420 It could

00:43:16.760 be the

00:43:17.640 suggestion of

00:43:18.300 a feeling

00:43:18.700 or maybe

00:43:19.480 you're

00:43:19.680 feeling it.

00:43:20.660 You might

00:43:21.000 say to

00:43:21.280 yourself,

00:43:21.540 I think

00:43:22.420 I felt

00:43:22.740 better.

00:43:23.820 I'm not

00:43:24.160 entirely

00:43:24.540 sure,

00:43:25.020 but I

00:43:25.220 think I

00:43:25.500 did.

00:43:26.380 That's

00:43:26.800 all you

00:43:27.060 needed.

00:43:28.000 Just work

00:43:28.860 with that

00:43:29.240 spark.

00:43:30.680 Remind

00:43:31.100 yourself

00:43:31.500 every time

00:43:32.460 you need

00:43:33.260 to that

00:43:34.600 you are

00:43:35.040 what you

00:43:35.420 are right

00:43:35.820 now.

00:43:36.340 You're

00:43:36.740 born right

00:43:37.260 now.

00:43:37.520 You just

00:43:37.780 came into

00:43:38.180 the world.

00:43:39.280 You came

00:43:39.760 into your

00:43:40.140 world fully

00:43:40.740 formed.

00:43:42.360 And that

00:43:42.720 stuff from

00:43:43.180 your past

00:43:43.700 is nothing

00:43:44.240 but loose

00:43:44.680 wiring.

00:43:46.600 You have

00:43:47.540 a brain 0.53

00:43:48.020 that you

00:43:48.520 can author.

00:43:50.320 It's

00:43:50.800 called

00:43:51.000 neuroplasticity.

00:43:52.880 It's a

00:43:53.340 well-demonstrated

00:43:54.060 thing.

00:43:54.420 There's no

00:43:54.740 new age

00:43:55.240 stuff here.

00:43:56.600 And the

00:43:56.900 well-demonstrated

00:43:57.500 part is

00:43:58.000 that if

00:43:58.400 you,

00:43:59.460 let's say,

00:43:59.980 practice a

00:44:00.680 new skill,

00:44:02.060 your brain

00:44:02.600 actually forms

00:44:03.600 new connections

00:44:04.460 and little

00:44:05.380 highways and

00:44:05.980 stuff to

00:44:06.780 support the

00:44:07.440 skill.

00:44:08.440 We know

00:44:09.160 that we,

00:44:10.020 through therapy

00:44:10.680 and other

00:44:11.120 things that

00:44:11.520 you can get

00:44:12.000 rid of,

00:44:12.800 traumas and

00:44:13.420 PTSD in

00:44:14.400 some cases,

00:44:15.300 you know

00:44:15.720 that you can

00:44:16.180 reprogram your

00:44:17.040 brain.

00:44:18.160 And we

00:44:18.440 also know

00:44:18.920 now that

00:44:19.260 the brain

00:44:19.600 grows new

00:44:20.500 brain cells.

00:44:22.340 It used to

00:44:22.860 be that we

00:44:23.220 thought you

00:44:23.880 were born

00:44:24.260 with a

00:44:24.600 certain number

00:44:24.980 of brain

00:44:25.260 cells and

00:44:25.720 you just

00:44:26.080 lost them

00:44:26.740 as you

00:44:26.980 aged.

00:44:27.640 Turns out,

00:44:28.220 no, you

00:44:28.520 actually build

00:44:29.100 new brain

00:44:29.500 cells your

00:44:30.260 whole life.

00:44:31.660 And you

00:44:33.400 can reprogram

00:44:35.840 those dangling

00:44:38.000 wires into

00:44:39.340 whatever you

00:44:39.840 want.

00:44:41.260 Let's say

00:44:41.800 they have too

00:44:42.480 much of a

00:44:43.020 charge,

00:44:43.760 and that's

00:44:44.120 the problem.

00:44:45.460 They're

00:44:45.900 around some

00:44:46.560 experience or

00:44:47.480 memory that

00:44:47.980 you didn't

00:44:48.220 like, but

00:44:49.180 they have too

00:44:49.500 much charge.

00:44:50.380 When you

00:44:50.700 think about

00:44:51.080 it, your

00:44:51.320 energy just

00:44:51.900 goes to

00:44:52.240 the roof.

00:44:54.380 Rewire it

00:44:55.040 into your

00:44:55.440 energy parts.

00:44:57.400 Every time

00:44:57.860 you feel

00:44:58.200 energy, there's

00:44:59.100 more energy

00:44:59.620 than you

00:44:59.980 want, just

00:45:01.220 plug that 0.64

00:45:01.880 into your

00:45:02.260 fitness routine.

00:45:04.480 Do you

00:45:04.720 know what a

00:45:05.040 bad day is

00:45:05.760 for me?

00:45:06.760 A good

00:45:07.420 exercise day.

00:45:10.160 There's no

00:45:10.740 such thing as 0.74

00:45:11.320 an entirely

00:45:11.740 bad day.

00:45:12.380 If your

00:45:14.860 day is so

00:45:15.700 bad that it

00:45:16.140 makes you

00:45:16.500 anxious, like

00:45:18.440 you're angry, 0.80

00:45:19.400 and you're

00:45:19.700 ugh, that's

00:45:21.540 your exercise

00:45:22.060 day.

00:45:23.700 Congratulations.

00:45:25.120 You're really

00:45:25.580 going to make a

00:45:26.040 big difference

00:45:26.540 in your

00:45:27.040 exercise.

00:45:28.600 So you

00:45:30.520 need to take

00:45:31.080 that wiring

00:45:31.700 that's dangling,

00:45:32.660 and that's all

00:45:33.140 it is, because

00:45:34.360 the history

00:45:34.800 doesn't exist.

00:45:37.520 To imagine

00:45:38.340 that it was

00:45:38.760 caused by

00:45:39.360 something is

00:45:39.880 useless.

00:45:40.800 It just is 0.99

00:45:41.320 what it is.

00:45:41.760 You were

00:45:42.000 just born

00:45:42.380 with it, as

00:45:43.940 if you were

00:45:44.280 born today.

00:45:46.060 But it's

00:45:47.260 true that it

00:45:47.760 creates energy,

00:45:49.360 and it might

00:45:49.740 even seem like

00:45:50.340 negative energy,

00:45:51.160 that little

00:45:51.540 dangling wire

00:45:52.360 in your head 0.86

00:45:52.840 connected to

00:45:53.540 that memory.

00:45:54.840 So just

00:45:55.280 rewire it.

00:45:56.700 Stick it

00:45:57.160 into your

00:45:57.520 fitness routine,

00:45:58.480 give yourself

00:45:58.860 a little extra

00:45:59.420 energy, run

00:46:00.000 an extra mile,

00:46:01.060 and make it

00:46:01.980 productive.

00:46:05.040 Tomorrow is

00:46:07.300 also a good

00:46:07.960 place to live

00:46:08.780 if you're

00:46:09.320 willing to

00:46:09.720 live there

00:46:10.120 productively.

00:46:11.820 Some people

00:46:12.420 think about

00:46:12.940 tomorrow.

00:46:15.940 Some people

00:46:16.660 think about

00:46:17.140 tomorrow, and

00:46:17.720 then they

00:46:17.940 have an extra

00:46:18.420 thing to

00:46:18.820 worry about.

00:46:20.860 I think

00:46:21.520 about tomorrow,

00:46:22.880 and I

00:46:23.380 replace worry

00:46:24.220 with curiosity.

00:46:28.620 Here's another

00:46:29.300 reframe.

00:46:29.960 By the way,

00:46:30.320 these are also

00:46:31.000 from my book

00:46:31.960 I'm working

00:46:32.380 on now.

00:46:34.760 Curiosity.

00:46:35.240 Curiosity is one

00:46:37.040 of the most

00:46:37.300 powerful forces

00:46:38.380 in human

00:46:39.520 existence.

00:46:40.740 We're designed

00:46:41.520 to be curious,

00:46:42.440 because we

00:46:42.840 would die

00:46:43.280 if we weren't.

00:46:44.500 We need to

00:46:45.360 look into

00:46:45.700 things.

00:46:46.200 What was that

00:46:46.760 noise?

00:46:47.260 Is this a

00:46:47.740 danger?

00:46:48.520 We have to

00:46:49.160 be curious.

00:46:49.720 You can't

00:46:50.040 turn off

00:46:50.340 curious.

00:46:52.300 So if

00:46:52.840 you've got

00:46:53.140 something that

00:46:53.780 worries you

00:46:54.360 tomorrow,

00:46:55.680 try this,

00:46:56.460 reframe.

00:46:56.880 I am so

00:46:58.900 curious how

00:46:59.580 this is going

00:47:00.040 to turn out.

00:47:01.320 It's not

00:47:01.740 going to kill

00:47:02.120 me. 1.00

00:47:03.020 Most things

00:47:03.540 are not going

00:47:03.920 to kill you, 0.98

00:47:04.380 right? 1.00

00:47:04.980 Most things

00:47:05.460 are just going

00:47:05.900 to be annoying

00:47:06.360 or embarrassing

00:47:07.040 or you waste

00:47:08.260 your time

00:47:08.740 or you lose

00:47:09.220 some money,

00:47:10.300 whatever.

00:47:10.920 They don't

00:47:11.220 kill you. 0.99

00:47:12.660 So reframe 1.00

00:47:14.900 your anxiety

00:47:16.020 into curiosity.

00:47:18.940 And here's

00:47:19.440 the second

00:47:19.820 way to do

00:47:20.280 it.

00:47:21.240 Imagine it's

00:47:21.960 your last

00:47:22.380 day on

00:47:22.740 Earth.

00:47:24.680 I just

00:47:25.340 watched a

00:47:25.840 Joe Rogan

00:47:26.520 clip on

00:47:27.400 talking about

00:47:28.040 seeing his

00:47:29.400 grandparent die

00:47:30.720 and reminding

00:47:32.060 him he has a

00:47:33.160 short time on

00:47:33.840 Earth.

00:47:34.200 so it

00:47:35.160 made him

00:47:35.420 more motivated

00:47:36.040 to know

00:47:36.420 that life

00:47:36.820 is limited.

00:47:38.800 You can

00:47:39.360 do that

00:47:39.680 too.

00:47:40.520 Just say,

00:47:41.040 hey,

00:47:41.880 I'm only

00:47:42.480 here for

00:47:42.840 so long.

00:47:44.040 Whatever

00:47:44.400 comes after

00:47:45.120 this,

00:47:45.540 if anything,

00:47:46.460 it's not

00:47:46.920 going to

00:47:47.080 be this.

00:47:48.480 So let's

00:47:48.840 just see

00:47:49.120 what happens.

00:47:50.780 Let's

00:47:51.180 just see

00:47:51.540 if I

00:47:51.840 can play

00:47:52.660 this game,

00:47:54.080 this existence.

00:47:55.400 I'll just

00:47:55.940 play it like

00:47:56.400 a video game.

00:47:57.660 I'll just

00:47:57.920 see what

00:47:58.160 happens tomorrow.

00:47:59.360 What would

00:47:59.720 happen if I

00:48:00.180 do this?

00:48:01.300 I don't

00:48:01.580 know.

00:48:02.340 What would

00:48:02.700 happen if I

00:48:03.160 took that

00:48:03.560 risk I

00:48:04.020 was always

00:48:04.340 afraid of?

00:48:05.020 Not a

00:48:05.580 physical risk,

00:48:06.740 but like a

00:48:07.160 social risk or

00:48:08.040 let's say

00:48:09.440 career risk.

00:48:10.320 What would

00:48:10.620 happen?

00:48:11.420 What would

00:48:11.940 happen if I

00:48:12.500 went up to

00:48:12.900 that person

00:48:13.420 who's a 1.00

00:48:13.940 fucking 1.00

00:48:14.180 asshole and 1.00

00:48:15.260 just said, 1.00

00:48:15.740 you know,

00:48:16.420 I've been

00:48:17.000 putting up

00:48:17.440 with you for

00:48:17.860 so long.

00:48:18.800 You're such 1.00

00:48:19.260 a fucking 1.00

00:48:19.740 asshole. 1.00

00:48:20.300 I don't 1.00

00:48:20.520 care who

00:48:20.860 hears me

00:48:21.240 say that.

00:48:22.420 What would

00:48:22.760 happen?

00:48:24.020 What would

00:48:24.620 happen?

00:48:25.220 Aren't you

00:48:25.560 curious?

00:48:27.340 If you feel

00:48:28.160 that tomorrow

00:48:28.660 is a big

00:48:29.120 problem,

00:48:31.020 try to give

00:48:31.540 yourself an

00:48:32.900 even bigger

00:48:33.380 problem.

00:48:35.680 And you

00:48:36.300 think that

00:48:36.880 sounds like

00:48:37.260 bad advice.

00:48:38.120 But what I

00:48:38.540 mean by a

00:48:38.960 bigger problem

00:48:39.460 is something

00:48:39.860 more interesting.

00:48:42.400 Just more

00:48:43.060 interesting.

00:48:44.420 Make yourself

00:48:45.280 curious.

00:48:46.920 Your curiosity

00:48:47.660 will start to

00:48:49.220 compete with

00:48:49.820 your anxiety.

00:48:51.080 And it could

00:48:51.580 even pass it.

00:48:53.100 If you play it

00:48:53.980 like a game,

00:48:54.940 you're way less

00:48:55.860 interested in losing.

00:48:56.740 If you play

00:48:58.440 it like

00:48:58.740 everything you

00:48:59.480 do tomorrow

00:49:00.000 is the

00:49:00.500 beginning and

00:49:02.160 the end of

00:49:02.500 your death,

00:49:03.500 it's like

00:49:03.980 everything's

00:49:04.420 life and

00:49:04.820 death.

00:49:05.180 It isn't.

00:49:06.220 Almost

00:49:06.620 nothing is.

00:49:07.900 Almost

00:49:08.260 everything can

00:49:08.920 be redone or

00:49:09.640 fixed or

00:49:10.240 corrected or

00:49:10.960 whatever.

00:49:11.620 It kind of

00:49:12.020 doesn't matter

00:49:12.500 if tomorrow

00:49:12.940 doesn't work

00:49:13.520 out.

00:49:14.440 This is the

00:49:15.020 day after.

00:49:16.480 So just get

00:49:17.340 curious.

00:49:18.120 What would

00:49:18.420 happen if I

00:49:18.980 do this?

00:49:20.060 What would

00:49:20.440 happen if I

00:49:21.060 don't act the

00:49:21.680 way I always

00:49:22.200 act?

00:49:23.080 What would

00:49:23.440 happen if I

00:49:24.020 dress differently?

00:49:24.680 What would

00:49:25.040 happen if I

00:49:26.240 made a system

00:49:27.500 to go to

00:49:27.860 the gym every

00:49:28.340 day?

00:49:28.560 What would

00:49:28.860 happen if I

00:49:29.900 asked out that

00:49:30.620 person that I

00:49:31.200 thought was

00:49:31.480 too good for

00:49:32.160 me?

00:49:33.660 Who knows?

00:49:35.080 Let's find

00:49:35.560 out.

00:49:36.820 Get curious.

00:49:39.900 I talked to

00:49:40.760 somebody who

00:49:41.320 had used the

00:49:42.500 following reframe.

00:49:43.480 Here's one for

00:49:43.980 you.

00:49:44.720 Imagine you

00:49:47.080 go into a

00:49:47.660 room full of

00:49:48.140 strangers and

00:49:48.820 you have to

00:49:49.240 meet people and

00:49:50.740 make conversation.

00:49:52.420 Very scary for

00:49:53.560 most of us,

00:49:54.220 right?

00:49:54.400 If you don't

00:49:54.860 have those

00:49:55.260 skills, very

00:49:56.020 scary.

00:49:56.920 But now, suppose

00:49:57.560 I told you,

00:49:58.740 right, I'm

00:49:59.120 going to hire

00:49:59.640 you and I'm

00:50:01.080 going to pay

00:50:01.400 you very well.

00:50:02.560 You're going to

00:50:02.920 be really well

00:50:03.600 paid to do

00:50:04.080 this.

00:50:04.680 I want you to

00:50:05.280 go into that

00:50:05.800 party of

00:50:06.260 strangers and

00:50:07.540 pretend, just

00:50:09.620 pretend to have

00:50:10.300 social skills and

00:50:11.940 just meet as many

00:50:12.780 people as you

00:50:13.300 can and I'll

00:50:13.840 even give you

00:50:14.380 a bonus for

00:50:16.400 how many people

00:50:16.980 you meet.

00:50:18.780 Completely

00:50:19.220 sober.

00:50:20.760 Now, how many

00:50:21.360 people would have

00:50:22.220 a much easier

00:50:23.180 time doing it

00:50:24.060 knowing it's

00:50:24.980 not for

00:50:25.360 themselves?

00:50:25.920 They're just

00:50:26.220 doing it as

00:50:26.660 a job.

00:50:27.820 It doesn't

00:50:28.220 even matter if

00:50:28.780 anybody turns

00:50:29.340 you down.

00:50:29.980 Well, I'll

00:50:31.040 just go to the

00:50:31.500 next one.

00:50:31.920 It's just a

00:50:32.300 job.

00:50:33.420 You would take

00:50:34.240 this thing that

00:50:35.340 scares you

00:50:36.820 socially about

00:50:37.620 your embarrassment

00:50:38.260 and it would

00:50:39.440 change it almost

00:50:40.340 instantly into

00:50:41.280 just something

00:50:41.780 you're doing.

00:50:44.120 Just something

00:50:44.780 you're doing.

00:50:45.160 You would

00:50:45.860 instantly change

00:50:46.660 fear into

00:50:47.200 curiosity.

00:50:47.840 I wonder

00:50:49.380 if I can

00:50:49.800 get that

00:50:50.220 one to

00:50:50.560 talk to

00:50:50.880 me.

00:50:51.940 These

00:50:52.280 ones over

00:50:53.360 here look

00:50:53.880 like you're

00:50:54.180 in a group.

00:50:55.620 Watch me

00:50:56.640 go right

00:50:57.420 into the

00:50:57.800 middle of

00:50:58.080 that group,

00:50:59.260 stop their 0.96

00:50:59.740 conversation,

00:51:00.480 just see if

00:51:00.900 I can do

00:51:01.240 it.

00:51:01.920 Just see

00:51:02.140 what happens.

00:51:03.140 Just see

00:51:03.460 what happens.

00:51:05.160 Now, when

00:51:05.680 you went

00:51:05.960 home that

00:51:06.320 night and

00:51:06.780 you thought

00:51:07.060 about all

00:51:07.420 the people

00:51:07.760 who sort

00:51:08.180 of rejected

00:51:08.900 you by

00:51:09.500 not really

00:51:10.120 being open

00:51:10.640 to your

00:51:11.920 contacts,

00:51:12.680 the first

00:51:13.200 thing you

00:51:13.460 noticed is

00:51:13.900 there were

00:51:14.140 almost none

00:51:15.000 of them.

00:51:16.400 The thing

00:51:17.000 you were

00:51:17.220 afraid of

00:51:17.640 was never

00:51:17.980 real.

00:51:18.880 Turns out

00:51:19.320 people were

00:51:19.720 happy to

00:51:20.140 talk to

00:51:20.480 you.

00:51:21.920 Surprise.

00:51:22.680 People were

00:51:23.020 just happy

00:51:23.340 to talk to

00:51:23.780 you because

00:51:24.320 they had

00:51:24.520 the same

00:51:24.800 problem you

00:51:25.200 did.

00:51:25.840 They just

00:51:26.360 wanted somebody

00:51:26.860 to talk to

00:51:27.380 them so

00:51:27.760 they didn't

00:51:28.080 feel awkward.

00:51:30.080 So,

00:51:30.800 here are the

00:51:33.000 reframes that

00:51:33.920 help you the

00:51:34.400 most.

00:51:35.200 History doesn't 0.54

00:51:35.880 exist.

00:51:37.500 You can

00:51:37.880 gamify your

00:51:40.360 daily actions

00:51:41.180 to take the

00:51:42.220 power out of

00:51:42.920 the anxiety.

00:51:44.380 What if it's

00:51:44.860 just a game?

00:51:45.940 What if I

00:51:46.300 just treat

00:51:46.720 these people

00:51:47.200 like they're

00:51:47.600 in my next

00:51:48.560 practice event?

00:51:51.340 I'm just

00:51:51.600 practicing.

00:51:53.160 And I

00:51:53.720 heard from

00:51:54.080 somebody yesterday

00:51:55.120 who tried

00:51:55.860 that reframe

00:51:56.540 and completely

00:51:57.100 worked.

00:51:58.780 Now it's

00:51:59.340 somebody who

00:51:59.700 can walk

00:52:00.080 into a

00:52:00.460 crowded room

00:52:01.220 and just

00:52:02.040 start talking

00:52:02.500 to people.

00:52:03.620 And all

00:52:04.200 they do is

00:52:04.680 just say,

00:52:05.560 well, I'll

00:52:06.560 just gamify

00:52:07.100 it.

00:52:07.840 See how many

00:52:08.280 people I can

00:52:08.840 turn into a

00:52:09.420 friend.

00:52:10.040 Whatever.

00:52:11.080 And it

00:52:11.380 works.

00:52:12.480 So these

00:52:13.100 little reframes

00:52:13.980 are insanely

00:52:14.800 powerful.

00:52:16.180 It just

00:52:16.520 doesn't seem

00:52:17.100 like they

00:52:17.440 would be.

00:52:18.320 And they

00:52:18.620 require some

00:52:19.420 reinforcement.

00:52:21.800 Now I

00:52:22.480 love looking

00:52:22.980 at your

00:52:23.360 comments when

00:52:23.940 you get

00:52:24.340 quiet in

00:52:26.280 terms of

00:52:27.020 saying what

00:52:28.400 I'm saying

00:52:28.760 is either

00:52:29.100 good or

00:52:29.540 bad.

00:52:31.040 When you're

00:52:31.660 telling me

00:52:32.000 that what

00:52:32.260 I'm saying

00:52:32.640 is either

00:52:33.020 good or

00:52:33.460 bad as

00:52:34.040 I'm saying

00:52:34.460 it, I

00:52:36.120 know I'm

00:52:36.460 not having

00:52:36.820 the same

00:52:37.200 impact.

00:52:37.760 Because those

00:52:38.180 are just

00:52:38.460 your reflexive

00:52:39.360 responses.

00:52:40.560 But when

00:52:41.780 you get

00:52:42.100 quiet, I

00:52:43.380 know I'm

00:52:43.660 hitting

00:52:43.860 something.

00:52:45.220 I'm

00:52:45.740 definitely

00:52:46.040 hitting

00:52:46.280 something

00:52:46.600 right now.

00:52:48.100 All right.

00:52:49.640 Feedback

00:52:50.160 time.

00:52:52.500 How many

00:52:52.940 of you feel

00:52:53.520 differently

00:52:53.980 already?

00:52:56.720 Just right

00:52:57.440 now.

00:52:57.880 How many

00:52:58.160 of you feel

00:52:58.640 different

00:52:59.180 right now?

00:53:02.920 On

00:53:03.200 locals are

00:53:03.740 a little

00:53:03.960 faster and

00:53:04.940 it's mostly

00:53:05.720 yeses.

00:53:07.100 It's like a

00:53:07.520 stream of

00:53:07.980 yeses.

00:53:08.380 YouTube

00:53:10.540 catching

00:53:11.020 up?

00:53:12.380 All

00:53:12.620 yeses.

00:53:13.740 Yeah.

00:53:14.500 Now,

00:53:16.680 this is

00:53:17.180 not,

00:53:19.280 there are

00:53:20.300 some no's,

00:53:20.880 of course.

00:53:22.740 But look

00:53:23.340 how easy

00:53:23.640 this was.

00:53:25.580 So that's

00:53:26.220 what the

00:53:26.820 upcoming book

00:53:27.520 will be.

00:53:27.920 It will

00:53:28.040 be a

00:53:28.460 number of

00:53:28.860 reframes

00:53:29.440 so that

00:53:30.220 if you've

00:53:31.020 got a

00:53:31.320 specific

00:53:31.760 problem,

00:53:33.100 you can

00:53:33.420 just go

00:53:33.800 to that

00:53:34.040 chapter and

00:53:34.500 say,

00:53:34.700 all right,

00:53:35.060 what's the

00:53:35.360 reframe for

00:53:35.940 this?

00:53:37.160 And then

00:53:38.020 you just

00:53:38.300 reinforce it

00:53:39.820 and it's

00:53:41.560 going to

00:53:41.760 make a

00:53:42.000 big difference.

00:53:43.080 All right.

00:53:44.200 That,

00:53:44.980 ladies and 0.98

00:53:45.360 gentlemen,

00:53:45.620 is where

00:53:45.920 we're going

00:53:46.140 to end

00:53:46.320 today because

00:53:47.180 I left

00:53:47.920 you in

00:53:48.220 a good

00:53:48.480 place.

00:53:49.700 You've

00:53:49.980 had two

00:53:50.700 simultaneous

00:53:51.320 sips,

00:53:52.000 lucky,

00:53:53.060 lucky you.

00:53:54.220 You've

00:53:54.680 learned to

00:53:55.060 release the

00:53:55.620 history because

00:53:56.200 it doesn't

00:53:56.600 exist.

00:53:57.540 You've

00:53:57.820 learned to

00:53:58.160 gamify your

00:53:58.940 current situation

00:53:59.900 and replace

00:54:00.660 anxiety with

00:54:01.640 curiosity.

00:54:03.780 And you

00:54:04.600 are much

00:54:06.880 better people

00:54:07.540 than you

00:54:07.880 were 15

00:54:09.520 minutes ago.

00:54:11.420 Way more

00:54:12.140 capable,

00:54:13.680 way more

00:54:14.100 connected,

00:54:16.300 way more,

00:54:17.280 say,

00:54:18.620 tool rich.

00:54:20.220 You just

00:54:20.640 gained three

00:54:21.240 tools that

00:54:22.880 other people

00:54:23.340 didn't have.

00:54:24.420 We're going

00:54:24.960 to close it

00:54:25.460 on a closing

00:54:26.460 simultaneous

00:54:27.240 sip, and

00:54:29.040 then I'm

00:54:29.300 going to let

00:54:29.560 the YouTube

00:54:29.880 people go.
