Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1878 Scott Adams： Join Me For The Finest News Commentary That Ever Got A Cartoonist Canceled

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best thing that ever happened to anybody.

00:00:10.900 It's Scotland Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:12.560 It's a highlight of civilization, and aren't you glad you're here?

00:00:16.140 Yeah, yeah, you are.

00:00:18.500 How'd you like to take it up a notch?

00:00:20.840 Everybody, everybody, hold hands and repeat after me.

00:00:26.480 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chelsea stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:33.780 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:36.680 I like coffee.

00:00:38.160 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:41.040 It's the dopamine of the day.

00:00:42.460 The thing that makes everything better.

00:00:45.500 Everything.

00:00:46.540 Everything.

00:00:48.000 It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now.

00:00:50.200 Go.

00:00:54.960 Savor it.

00:00:56.880 Savor it.

00:00:58.660 Okay.

00:01:03.720 Well, is there a setting on Twitter that allows you to see the people you follow?

00:01:11.940 Has anybody found that yet?

00:01:13.460 Any kind of feature?

00:01:15.480 Because I used to think that Twitter was something you followed up, you followed people.

00:01:19.700 And then when they tweeted, you'd see their tweets.

00:01:25.680 When did they change that?

00:01:28.080 Because now I just see sort of nothing.

00:01:31.320 Or random people I don't know.

00:01:33.160 Did Jack Posobiec stop tweeting?

00:01:38.340 Did Mike Cernovich just stop tweeting?

00:01:42.300 Used to see them every day.

00:01:44.260 Every day.

00:01:45.540 Now?

00:01:46.300 Nope.

00:01:47.220 Nope.

00:01:47.480 All gone.

00:01:47.980 All gone.

00:01:49.360 All gone.

00:01:52.940 Now I know what you're going to tell me.

00:01:54.840 You're going to say, Scott, Elon Musk told you how to solve that problem.

00:01:59.160 You go to the interface where there's the three little dots, three little stars, and you hit

00:02:05.800 that, and then you set it to show everybody in order instead of using the algorithm.

00:02:10.900 Oh, I did that.

00:02:13.220 I did that.

00:02:15.060 Do you think that worked?

00:02:18.520 They changed it back.

00:02:22.520 Wouldn't you expect that if I'd signed up and had a setting, that that setting would just

00:02:29.440 stay there?

00:02:31.100 Would you ever expect that the setting would change itself?

00:02:34.780 It did.

00:02:36.060 It did.

00:02:37.640 Because I would never change it myself.

00:02:40.900 And so when people said, you know, I thought, oh, I'll go back and change that a second time.

00:02:47.300 So I thought, I'll go back and change that a second time.

00:02:51.360 So I tried to find that menu again. 0.99

00:02:55.100 Do you know how well they hide that fucking thing? 0.99

00:02:59.300 Now, to be fair, if I'm looking in the refrigerator for a condiment, I'm not going to find it. 0.99

00:03:07.800 If you tell me to look for my car in the parking lot, and I don't remember where I parked it,

00:03:14.780 we're going to be here a while.

00:03:17.040 Yep.

00:03:18.020 If you tell me to find something in my room that's not where I thought I left it,

00:03:23.260 well, I'll be looking for a while.

00:03:25.100 Because I'm not the guy who's good at searching for things in difficult to find places.

00:03:30.620 So I spent some time, and I don't even think it's on both interfaces, right?

00:03:36.980 Is it, and I've already forgotten, is it on only the browser interface but not the app?

00:03:44.140 Or is it only on the app but not the browser interface?

00:03:48.580 It's not on both, right?

00:03:49.700 Can you tell me?

00:03:53.740 It's on both.

00:03:55.220 It's on both.

00:03:57.140 All right.

00:03:58.360 So if I picked up my app right now, like just an average user, just call up Twitter,

00:04:06.500 and we'll see how quickly I can find it.

00:04:08.960 Now, keep in mind, I'm looking for something that I know exactly what I'm looking for,

00:04:13.660 and I generally know where to look for it.

00:04:18.220 All right.

00:04:18.720 So it looks like you'd have to be in the home page.

00:04:24.280 Yeah.

00:04:25.560 See, part of my problem is I live on the notifications.

00:04:33.280 And then they put those three little dots.

00:04:34.960 Okay.

00:04:35.260 It was too easy because I knew where it was.

00:04:36.920 I'd just done it.

00:04:38.860 But I would swear I've spent a lot of time looking for that thing

00:04:43.100 and not finding it. 1.00

00:04:43.960 God fucking damn it. 1.00

00:04:46.020 All right. 1.00

00:04:46.340 Sorry.

00:04:47.640 I'm going to have to.

00:04:50.160 I've got a technical problem on the locals thing I'm going to fix right now.

00:04:57.140 Or not.

00:05:02.500 Nope.

00:05:03.320 It looks like that would be.

00:05:05.340 So here I'm going to try to fix my screen control

00:05:09.900 because I'm using my phone instead of my iPad

00:05:11.980 because I've got a technical problem there, too.

00:05:15.940 Unless, because locals took away the live streaming on the iPad

00:05:20.820 or they hid the menu because I can't find it.

00:05:27.240 So somebody said brightness.

00:05:30.760 Display and brightness.

00:05:34.660 Auto lock.

00:05:35.940 Ah, there we go.

00:05:36.620 Auto lock.

00:05:37.660 Never.

00:05:38.000 All right.

00:05:42.600 All right.

00:05:51.240 All right.

00:05:51.740 Let's get back to the show.

00:05:54.580 Going back to locals.

00:05:56.280 You know, if I hadn't fixed this,

00:05:58.620 I wouldn't be able to concentrate,

00:06:00.300 so it would bother me too much.

00:06:02.840 Let's see if I can get the locals people back.

00:06:04.920 Locals, are you back?

00:06:05.840 If you're back, I fixed your technical problem.

00:06:10.380 All right.

00:06:13.680 You know, you could make a real good argument

00:06:15.500 that Hollywood is destroying the world.

00:06:19.420 Now, not in an obvious way.

00:06:22.020 It's like a tired old argument everybody said.

00:06:24.220 But in a real way,

00:06:27.680 Hollywood is the reason that nuclear energy

00:06:31.700 is not already everywhere.

00:06:34.180 Am I right?

00:06:36.780 Imagine everything in the world,

00:06:38.820 how different it would be

00:06:40.400 if we had nuclear power everywhere.

00:06:45.180 Would the Ukraine war look the way it does now?

00:06:47.780 Not so much.

00:06:50.420 Not so much.

00:06:52.160 No, it wouldn't.

00:06:53.600 Would anybody be worried about losing energy?

00:06:56.540 You know, would California have blackouts?

00:06:58.860 Would we be talking about climate change?

00:07:01.360 Would we be changing the entire economy

00:07:03.540 to service climate change

00:07:05.820 if we had nuclear energy everywhere?

00:07:08.400 We wouldn't.

00:07:09.660 And do you know what the argument

00:07:10.760 against nuclear energy is?

00:07:12.480 Let me tell you the whole argument

00:07:15.020 about nuclear energy.

00:07:16.960 I saw a movie and it scared me.

00:07:19.500 That's it.

00:07:20.640 I saw a movie and it scared me.

00:07:22.500 I saw Silkwood or the China Syndrome 0.99

00:07:25.420 or Chernobyl or some damn thing 0.99

00:07:27.240 and it scared me. 0.99

00:07:29.620 And then on top of that,

00:07:31.060 I would have a bunch of illusions that I'm under.

00:07:35.060 It's like the illusions would be,

00:07:36.740 we don't know what to do with the nuclear waste.

00:07:39.580 Yes, we do.

00:07:40.260 You just store it in barrels on site.

00:07:46.040 It's totally solved.

00:07:47.840 It's not even a little bit not solved.

00:07:50.040 There's nothing left to solve.

00:07:52.120 It's 100% solved.

00:07:54.260 And then say,

00:07:54.940 well, what about the danger of meltdown?

00:07:58.080 The types of nuclear energy

00:08:02.760 that is built today

00:08:03.840 has never had a meltdown.

00:08:07.560 Nobody's ever died

00:08:08.540 with the current versions.

00:08:10.920 I think Chernobyl was like version one 0.91

00:08:13.400 and we're on version three.

00:08:15.600 Never had a problem.

00:08:17.120 Version three, never had a problem.

00:08:18.860 Never had a death

00:08:19.980 or a meltdown, I think.

00:08:23.360 So everything we know about nuclear is wrong

00:08:26.000 and most of that comes from Hollywood.

00:08:28.780 Hollywood actually is destroying the world.

00:08:33.400 Like actually, causing a war.

00:08:37.140 I mean, we're very close to nuclear war

00:08:39.040 because of movies.

00:08:40.840 That's not an exaggeration, is it?

00:08:44.100 You tell me, am I exaggerating?

00:08:46.360 The popular view of nuclear power

00:08:50.140 that has kept it from being the main thing

00:08:52.100 is that people have wrong opinions about its danger.

00:08:54.960 That's entirely from Hollywood

00:08:57.380 and people who are in that domain.

00:09:01.820 Completely.

00:09:03.120 It has nothing to do with science.

00:09:06.580 Oh my God.

00:09:08.180 So here, you know,

00:09:09.240 we always look in the wrong places

00:09:10.840 for where the problem is.

00:09:12.840 The problem is literally Hollywood.

00:09:15.820 It's literally.

00:09:17.140 Most of our operating system

00:09:19.100 for how we think about our world,

00:09:21.440 all of our filters on life

00:09:23.360 come from entertainment.

00:09:26.160 And the problem is

00:09:27.180 that the entertainment industry

00:09:28.520 is not trying to set your filter

00:09:30.200 in a productive way.

00:09:32.260 It's not trying to make you smarter.

00:09:34.940 It's trying to get you to buy a ticket.

00:09:37.440 It's entertainment.

00:09:38.960 So if your education,

00:09:41.400 and that's what it really is,

00:09:43.040 you don't think of it that way,

00:09:44.600 but you're being miseducated,

00:09:46.400 if your education is being given to you

00:09:49.040 by people who don't want you educated,

00:09:51.460 and they don't,

00:09:52.720 it has nothing to do with their intentions.

00:09:54.860 They just want to make money

00:09:56.240 and entertain you.

00:09:58.680 So, I mean,

00:09:59.400 it's pretty obvious how we got here.

00:10:00.780 We're being educated

00:10:02.600 by people who don't want to educate us.

00:10:06.260 They want to trick us

00:10:07.500 into doing what they want to do.

00:10:10.360 Anyway.

00:10:10.600 I saw Ron Klain

00:10:14.720 of the Biden administration

00:10:16.540 touting U.S. manufacturing jobs

00:10:20.000 went way up,

00:10:21.300 like, quite a bit,

00:10:22.500 over 600,000 manufacturing jobs.

00:10:26.220 Now,

00:10:27.380 is that real?

00:10:30.720 Do you think that's real?

00:10:32.660 Do you think a lot of manufacturing jobs

00:10:35.380 are returning to the United States?

00:10:36.840 I didn't read the article

00:10:38.460 because he didn't link to it.

00:10:40.120 Cleverly,

00:10:40.640 he didn't link to the article.

00:10:42.420 He took a phone picture

00:10:43.600 of a newspaper headline.

00:10:46.660 Okay.

00:10:47.760 I'm guessing

00:10:48.580 if he had linked to the article,

00:10:50.420 there would have been something there

00:10:51.680 about,

00:10:52.080 well, you know,

00:10:53.580 don't get so happy

00:10:54.960 because maybe it means this or that,

00:10:56.820 or maybe it's just,

00:10:58.080 it's purely recovery

00:10:59.220 from the pandemic.

00:11:00.100 I mean,

00:11:02.360 it might be just pandemic recovery,

00:11:04.120 which would mean

00:11:04.640 it's basically nothing.

00:11:06.060 It's just what we expected.

00:11:07.540 It's baseline.

00:11:09.100 I don't know.

00:11:10.000 But is it possible

00:11:11.060 that actual manufacturing

00:11:12.380 is coming back

00:11:13.120 to the United States?

00:11:15.860 Has anybody heard of a,

00:11:17.680 I've heard of lots of plans,

00:11:20.440 but have you heard

00:11:22.220 of any actual factory

00:11:23.800 that got built

00:11:24.740 where somebody can point

00:11:26.540 to the factory and say,

00:11:27.720 this factory

00:11:28.740 is replacing stuff

00:11:30.500 we got from China?

00:11:32.780 Is there an actual example

00:11:34.200 in the real world

00:11:35.080 of that yet?

00:11:36.200 Because I think

00:11:36.920 lots of people

00:11:37.400 are making plans to do it.

00:11:38.620 I think it's going to happen.

00:11:40.360 But I don't think

00:11:41.420 any manufacturing jobs

00:11:42.980 have come back

00:11:43.720 because of decoupling.

00:11:47.040 Have they?

00:11:48.780 Or is it like,

00:11:50.820 you know,

00:11:51.200 a big part of it

00:11:51.960 is just the Tesla

00:11:53.860 giga plants or something.

00:11:55.760 I don't know

00:11:56.100 how much they employ.

00:11:57.940 They've got a lot

00:11:58.420 of our robots.

00:11:59.600 I guess the Tesla robots

00:12:01.240 are being rolled out

00:12:02.060 primarily for

00:12:03.600 industrial use.

00:12:08.280 Now,

00:12:08.960 what?

00:12:10.640 Why is somebody

00:12:11.320 swearing at me?

00:12:13.460 Why are you

00:12:14.220 effing at me?

00:12:15.600 What did I do?

00:12:18.920 I must have done something.

00:12:21.380 Made somebody mad.

00:12:22.260 All right.

00:12:24.000 Apparently China

00:12:27.980 is conducting a survey

00:12:29.480 to find out

00:12:30.100 why its citizens

00:12:31.200 are unwilling

00:12:31.880 to get married

00:12:32.580 and have children.

00:12:34.800 Why do you think

00:12:35.460 Chinese

00:12:36.340 citizens

00:12:38.780 are less willing

00:12:40.180 to get married

00:12:40.860 and have children?

00:12:42.500 What do you think

00:12:43.240 is the reason?

00:12:45.980 Bleak future.

00:12:47.180 Yeah.

00:12:47.560 Bleak future.

00:12:49.440 Right.

00:12:49.820 But there's also

00:12:51.400 I saw

00:12:52.520 a tweet

00:12:53.780 from

00:12:54.400 Naomi Wu

00:12:58.120 who's a good

00:12:59.740 follow on Twitter.

00:13:02.020 Naomi Wu.

00:13:03.080 She goes by the

00:13:03.940 Twitter handle

00:13:04.620 RealSexyCyborg.

00:13:07.000 If you don't like

00:13:08.100 your Twitter

00:13:08.640 follows to be

00:13:10.120 sexy

00:13:10.620 this would not

00:13:12.180 be one for you.

00:13:12.900 So she's a 0.88

00:13:16.640 real interesting

00:13:17.180 follow.

00:13:18.500 Don't be thrown

00:13:19.480 off

00:13:19.860 by the fact

00:13:21.340 that she has 1.00

00:13:21.800 gigantic tits. 1.00

00:13:24.340 All right. 0.99

00:13:25.360 And I think

00:13:26.220 I can say

00:13:26.860 she has 1.00

00:13:27.740 gigantic tits 1.00

00:13:28.800 because it's 1.00

00:13:29.600 sort of her

00:13:29.980 brand.

00:13:31.360 Like it's

00:13:32.040 something

00:13:32.340 that it's

00:13:33.420 a topic

00:13:33.900 right?

00:13:34.360 Something she

00:13:34.900 talks about.

00:13:35.900 I don't know

00:13:36.340 why.

00:13:37.640 I'm not sure

00:13:38.400 there's some

00:13:39.360 story behind it.

00:13:40.820 I think there's

00:13:41.340 a story behind

00:13:42.220 it.

00:13:42.460 I don't know

00:13:42.760 what it is.

00:13:44.300 But don't

00:13:45.320 be thrown

00:13:46.220 off.

00:13:48.800 No,

00:13:49.300 she's female. 1.00

00:13:50.540 Don't be

00:13:51.040 thrown off

00:13:51.480 by the fact

00:13:52.020 that she

00:13:53.040 is

00:13:53.320 voluptuous.

00:13:56.120 Is that

00:13:56.340 the right

00:13:56.600 word?

00:13:57.480 Her Twitter

00:13:58.240 account is

00:13:58.680 actually quite

00:13:59.160 valuable and

00:14:00.300 I like it.

00:14:01.800 So one of

00:14:02.200 the things

00:14:02.380 she's saying

00:14:02.800 because she

00:14:03.100 has lots

00:14:04.460 of connections

00:14:05.120 back in

00:14:05.520 China,

00:14:06.620 that there's

00:14:07.300 something

00:14:07.540 called

00:14:08.380 Hukowa,

00:14:11.620 H-U-K-O-K-O-K-O-K-O-K-O-K. 1.00

00:14:12.320 H-U-K-O-K-O-K-O-K-O-K-O-K. 1.00

00:14:14.860 There's some

00:14:15.340 kind of a

00:14:15.940 tradition

00:14:17.260 in China

00:14:18.600 where you

00:14:20.260 register your

00:14:21.100 household and

00:14:21.980 that gives you

00:14:22.460 access to

00:14:23.060 services,

00:14:23.560 and something

00:14:24.960 about that

00:14:25.860 system is

00:14:26.900 suboptimal.

00:14:28.880 I don't know

00:14:29.760 the exact

00:14:30.320 story here,

00:14:32.100 but there's

00:14:32.800 something built

00:14:33.440 into the

00:14:33.940 Chinese system

00:14:34.760 which makes

00:14:35.340 it very

00:14:35.660 difficult to

00:14:36.980 get your own

00:14:37.580 place and have

00:14:38.280 a family.

00:14:39.320 Just something in the system.

00:14:42.120 But I think it might be more that

00:14:45.680 high income always reduces population growth, right?

00:14:53.240 Have we seen that everywhere?

00:14:55.420 Wherever there's high income, there's low population.

00:14:58.840 Then you add that to growing up in a...

00:15:03.360 Maybe the nature of things there

00:15:06.240 is that people don't want to bring a kid into that world.

00:15:08.720 But I doubt that's true.

00:15:10.780 I would imagine if you were a young professional in China,

00:15:14.040 you would have just as much interest as every other country

00:15:17.460 in having a kid or not.

00:15:19.900 I mean, it's not like Ukraine.

00:15:21.960 If you're in Ukraine, you could reasonably say,

00:15:24.300 maybe not have a kid this year.

00:15:26.680 But, I mean, China's stable enough

00:15:29.260 that I don't know what the real story is there,

00:15:31.560 but they've got a big problem.

00:15:34.320 All right, here's a question.

00:15:35.420 Let me ask you.

00:15:39.180 This before I give you my answer.

00:15:41.800 The United States has a lot of diversity

00:15:43.740 compared to other countries,

00:15:46.980 compared to most countries, right?

00:15:49.400 There might be some that are better.

00:15:51.920 Is our diversity our strength or our weakness?

00:15:55.180 Go.

00:15:56.840 Is diversity a strength or a weakness?

00:15:59.740 I'm saying answers all over the place.

00:16:06.260 But both is the correct answer.

00:16:07.920 Yes, both.

00:16:10.140 Now, if you don't think diversity is a strength,

00:16:15.180 are you enjoying watching the Japanese-American basketball teams

00:16:20.720 that are dominating?

00:16:21.640 So, just take one country, Japan.

00:16:29.980 So, Japan has low diversity.

00:16:33.220 Can Japan compete with the United States on high tech?

00:16:36.400 Pretty well.

00:16:37.660 Pretty well.

00:16:38.740 How's their basketball team?

00:16:40.860 Not so good.

00:16:42.240 So, we can compete on high tech,

00:16:44.600 even beat them,

00:16:45.320 and then we can beat them in sports.

00:16:48.540 Now, sounds a little racist, doesn't it?

00:16:52.460 Did your racist antenna go up and go, 0.97

00:16:54.880 Scott, are you saying black people are just good for sports? 0.95

00:16:59.920 Or what kind of racist thing are you saying there?

00:17:01.660 No, I'm not saying that.

00:17:03.280 I'm saying the very opposite of that.

00:17:05.700 I'm saying that the more diversity you have,

00:17:08.480 the more likely you're going to have people

00:17:11.320 who will fit any particular need,

00:17:14.060 be it sports, be it art,

00:17:16.180 be it singing, be it fashion,

00:17:18.260 be it you name it.

00:17:19.580 I don't think it's an accident

00:17:20.840 that the United States dominates

00:17:22.980 in a bunch of different ways.

00:17:25.580 I think we have entire populations

00:17:28.260 which, for whatever reason,

00:17:31.500 tend to excel at various different things.

00:17:33.580 So, we've always got somebody

00:17:34.700 who's going to be great at anything.

00:17:35.880 And I feel as if,

00:17:39.120 if you add that to the fact

00:17:40.980 that we're the ultimate talent-skimming country,

00:17:45.280 if you were in another country,

00:17:49.860 it doesn't matter what country you're in,

00:17:52.100 let's just say you're you.

00:17:53.620 Let's just start with you.

00:17:55.260 And you were contemplating going to another country

00:17:58.080 because you wanted to improve your life.

00:18:00.300 Maybe you didn't like whatever country you're in.

00:18:03.260 Wouldn't you hesitate to go to a country

00:18:05.180 where everybody was different from you?

00:18:09.100 Like, I try to imagine myself moving to,

00:18:11.460 let's say, Pakistan.

00:18:14.300 And I'm the only, like, white guy walking around.

00:18:18.220 I'd feel pretty uncomfortable.

00:18:20.340 I don't think I'd do it.

00:18:21.660 If I imagine moving to, let's say, Switzerland,

00:18:28.540 fairly diverse,

00:18:29.700 but mostly diverse within the white-looking people,

00:18:33.560 and I'd say to myself,

00:18:34.660 oh, you know, maybe I could fit in better there

00:18:37.440 because now I'm not talking about myself.

00:18:39.720 I'm talking about a person talking about their selves.

00:18:43.740 But then you look at the United States.

00:18:45.540 What do you see when you see the United States from the outside?

00:18:49.960 Don't you see in the United States

00:18:51.520 that it doesn't matter what you look like,

00:18:53.180 you still got a good shot?

00:18:55.460 Oh, you'll be discriminated against.

00:18:57.580 Sure.

00:18:59.260 We have plenty of racists. 0.98

00:19:01.560 Everybody does.

00:19:02.860 You'll be discriminated against,

00:19:04.380 but you can make it in the United States.

00:19:07.400 You'll be able to find plenty of people like yourself.

00:19:10.620 Not all of them,

00:19:11.720 but you can find a pocket like yourself

00:19:14.080 and get a little support there and then branch out,

00:19:17.240 and next thing you know, you're living in my neighborhood,

00:19:19.840 which has got a little bit of everything.

00:19:23.720 So here's my argument.

00:19:26.240 I think the United States has a dominant advantage

00:19:28.900 in having somebody who's good at anything,

00:19:32.240 and I really think that makes us special.

00:19:34.940 Number two, we are the ultimate talent skimmers

00:19:38.820 from other countries,

00:19:40.540 and Trump was smart about this.

00:19:43.660 Trump understood that we're the ultimate talent skimmers.

00:19:46.700 We can get the best talent from every diverse group.

00:19:50.660 We don't have to get their low performers.

00:19:53.480 We can just get the highest performers,

00:19:55.900 and we get the best of everything.

00:19:57.680 If you get the highest performers from every group, 1.00

00:20:01.700 racism is just stupid. 1.00

00:20:04.480 It's just stupid at that point, 1.00

00:20:06.020 because you'd be like, 1.00

00:20:07.900 okay, even if you imagine

00:20:10.540 there's some average difference between groups,

00:20:13.620 even if you imagine there is,

00:20:16.020 and I'm not saying there is,

00:20:17.020 even if you imagine it,

00:20:18.920 if you get just the best people from each group,

00:20:21.740 you're in pretty good shape.

00:20:23.800 Now here's my more controversial statement.

00:20:27.060 I think we already do.

00:20:31.960 And it doesn't mean the best

00:20:33.380 as in highest educational achievement.

00:20:37.720 I am absolutely in love

00:20:41.600 with the fact that we're a pirate ship. 0.63

00:20:45.900 We're a pirate ship, the United States is.

00:20:49.420 We let everybody in,

00:20:50.940 you just got to be a pirate.

00:20:53.100 All right?

00:20:53.760 Now, correct me if I'm wrong.

00:20:55.880 I might be making this up

00:20:56.980 just to make up a good analogy.

00:20:59.700 But weren't actual pirate ships kind of diverse?

00:21:02.700 Am I wrong about that?

00:21:05.020 Does anybody know enough about actual pirate ships?

00:21:08.640 Were they diverse?

00:21:11.140 Because I thought they were.

00:21:13.720 It doesn't matter.

00:21:14.820 I mean, it would be an interesting point if they were.

00:21:16.740 Well, no women, okay. 1.00

00:21:17.900 No women. 1.00

00:21:18.940 Yeah.

00:21:19.060 But the United States,

00:21:23.000 and I've always described Trump this way,

00:21:25.500 Trump's personal life is like a pirate ship. 0.94

00:21:28.160 And his supporters are like a pirate ship.

00:21:31.020 Do you know what it takes to be a Trump supporter?

00:21:34.560 It doesn't take your skin color.

00:21:37.160 You just have to want to be a pirate.

00:21:39.740 That's all. 0.95

00:21:40.200 What do MAGA people think of black Republicans

00:21:48.280 who are compatible with the Trump movement?

00:21:54.060 Love them.

00:21:55.620 Love them unambiguously.

00:21:58.140 Love them.

00:21:59.360 Because they're pirates.

00:22:01.120 Right?

00:22:01.720 Who doesn't love a pirate? 0.88

00:22:03.600 Come on.

00:22:04.760 You know that teacher in Canada

00:22:06.240 who's got the allegedly is transitioned to a woman.

00:22:11.840 But probably is a prank.

00:22:15.080 Probably is a prank. 0.97

00:22:16.480 It's the one wearing the enormous prosthetic breasts 1.00

00:22:18.900 and going to school. 0.98

00:22:21.260 That's a pirate. 0.98

00:22:22.920 That's a pirate. 0.98

00:22:25.140 I want that pirate.

00:22:27.180 If Canada will give us that pirate,

00:22:29.040 I want that one.

00:22:30.820 Now, here I'm making an assumption that it's a prank.

00:22:33.580 I feel confident in that.

00:22:35.280 I could be wrong,

00:22:37.280 but I'm just using it as an example.

00:22:39.920 So give us all the pirates.

00:22:41.320 We'll take them.

00:22:42.480 Pirates are great.

00:22:45.320 And by pirates,

00:22:46.320 I mean people who are willing to break the law to get here.

00:22:49.520 You know, not real pirates.

00:22:50.920 Not the kind who are going to kill people.

00:22:52.800 But the kind who say,

00:22:53.940 you know,

00:22:55.360 I want to be American

00:22:56.840 and I'm going to break a law to get there.

00:22:59.080 And by the way,

00:23:01.500 I respect anybody who says

00:23:03.360 they are lawbreakers

00:23:05.200 and therefore I disagree with you, Scott, completely.

00:23:08.720 I respect that opinion.

00:23:10.620 That is a completely,

00:23:11.660 completely respectable opinion.

00:23:14.920 I just like pirates.

00:23:17.140 I'm not saying I have a

00:23:18.320 super good reason for it.

00:23:20.360 All right.

00:23:26.320 And I would say that we have less chance of war

00:23:28.960 because of our diversity.

00:23:33.020 Because you can't get enough of anything

00:23:34.640 to get a proper civil war.

00:23:38.160 Right?

00:23:38.600 If we had sort of two types

00:23:41.600 and, you know,

00:23:43.080 the two types were even whatever,

00:23:45.120 you know,

00:23:45.380 Republican or Democrat

00:23:46.380 or only black

00:23:48.580 and only white,

00:23:49.520 something like that,

00:23:50.460 that would be a problem.

00:23:52.960 But you can't even find

00:23:54.760 families that aren't diverse anymore.

00:23:58.940 Is there anybody here

00:24:00.020 who has a family

00:24:00.900 that's all white?

00:24:03.660 Like your,

00:24:04.360 you know,

00:24:04.960 your cousin, 0.65

00:24:05.560 nobody married anybody black.

00:24:07.840 You know, 0.95

00:24:08.020 nobody married Hispanic.

00:24:10.760 Oh,

00:24:11.240 some of you do.

00:24:14.940 Well,

00:24:15.340 how extended

00:24:16.060 are you talking about?

00:24:17.220 Like even your cousins.

00:24:18.600 There's nobody

00:24:19.240 in your whole family

00:24:20.040 who married anybody 0.74

00:24:20.720 who isn't white.

00:24:22.080 Your whole family.

00:24:24.960 Well,

00:24:25.380 that tells me

00:24:25.820 what kind of a bubble

00:24:26.500 I live in California, right?

00:24:28.380 In California,

00:24:29.220 it's almost unheard of.

00:24:31.520 In California,

00:24:32.500 the,

00:24:33.020 you know,

00:24:34.680 the racial,

00:24:35.540 ethnic

00:24:35.980 mixing

00:24:37.060 is just so,

00:24:38.360 it's so thorough

00:24:39.240 that you can't really

00:24:41.380 go to a party

00:24:42.220 and it's going to be

00:24:43.680 just a bunch 0.77

00:24:44.140 of white people.

00:24:45.320 I don't know

00:24:45.760 if I've ever seen that.

00:24:47.160 In California.

00:24:48.760 In New York,

00:24:49.400 yes.

00:24:50.160 Upstate New York,

00:24:50.960 yes.

00:24:52.580 All right.

00:24:53.300 All right,

00:24:53.620 well,

00:24:53.760 that was a little

00:24:54.160 wake-up call for me.

00:24:55.720 Thank you.

00:24:57.140 All right.

00:24:57.480 Well,

00:25:00.880 are we still,

00:25:03.400 every day,

00:25:07.020 I go to Fox News

00:25:08.300 and I turn it on

00:25:09.780 and there will be

00:25:10.240 a new video

00:25:11.180 of young black people,

00:25:13.760 usually young,

00:25:14.600 well,

00:25:14.800 not even young,

00:25:15.860 but black men

00:25:17.040 and sometimes black women 1.00

00:25:18.960 beating up on people 0.99

00:25:20.680 who are not black. 1.00

00:25:21.400 Now, 0.96

00:25:23.640 I'm starting to worry

00:25:26.180 about Fox News

00:25:26.960 a little bit

00:25:27.520 because

00:25:29.060 on one hand,

00:25:33.180 it's getting hard

00:25:33.960 not to notice

00:25:34.800 that when the

00:25:36.240 Wawa was overcome

00:25:37.600 and there was

00:25:38.240 a riot there,

00:25:39.880 that all of the faces 0.68

00:25:40.920 on camera were black.

00:25:43.100 Am I supposed

00:25:43.860 to ignore that?

00:25:45.480 We are supposed to,

00:25:46.560 right?

00:25:47.320 Because it would be

00:25:47.940 racist to point out

00:25:48.960 that the inner-city

00:25:50.260 violence is

00:25:51.080 if you believe

00:25:52.780 what is on film,

00:25:53.820 it's entirely

00:25:54.340 a black problem. 0.94

00:25:57.220 Can I say that? 0.99

00:25:59.200 It's 2022.

00:26:00.340 Can I say out loud

00:26:01.500 that no smart person

00:26:03.660 would ever go live

00:26:04.800 where there are

00:26:05.800 a lot of low-income

00:26:06.660 black people

00:26:07.360 already living?

00:26:09.940 Can I say that?

00:26:11.240 Because I believe

00:26:11.860 that would be true

00:26:12.560 for a high-income

00:26:13.880 black person as well.

00:26:15.780 What high-income

00:26:16.620 black person

00:26:17.380 would intentionally 0.99

00:26:18.920 go live

00:26:19.600 where there are

00:26:20.080 a lot of low-income

00:26:20.920 black people living?

00:26:22.920 I mean,

00:26:23.500 I'm sure it's done,

00:26:25.300 but it's got to be rare

00:26:26.440 because it doesn't

00:26:27.200 seem like a good play.

00:26:29.680 Do you think

00:26:30.440 that in 2022

00:26:31.460 you could be

00:26:33.120 a non-racist

00:26:34.200 and do the following

00:26:35.140 thing?

00:26:36.300 Choose the place

00:26:37.180 you live

00:26:37.700 by the fewest 0.99

00:26:38.660 number of black

00:26:39.420 people who live there.

00:26:40.620 Is that racist?

00:26:42.660 In 2022,

00:26:43.960 is it racist

00:26:44.680 to choose

00:26:46.180 where you live

00:26:46.880 to be away from

00:26:49.600 as far as you can 0.99

00:26:50.500 from black people? 0.95

00:26:53.940 It's technically 0.89

00:26:54.800 racist, 0.77

00:26:55.800 but because

00:26:56.640 using that proxy

00:26:59.260 is almost

00:27:01.280 exactly the same

00:27:02.660 thing as

00:27:03.440 staying away

00:27:03.900 from crime,

00:27:04.560 if you're talking

00:27:05.500 about low-income.

00:27:06.660 High-income,

00:27:07.520 everything's different,

00:27:08.300 right?

00:27:08.600 I've got a black 0.94

00:27:09.280 neighbor. 0.87

00:27:10.500 Am I worried 0.85

00:27:11.120 that my black 0.98

00:27:11.740 neighbor is going 0.99

00:27:12.380 to riot my 7-Eleven?

00:27:14.160 No,

00:27:16.480 no,

00:27:16.960 he's well-off.

00:27:18.640 It's a well-off

00:27:19.540 couple.

00:27:19.940 They're doing great.

00:27:21.300 I'm not worried

00:27:21.820 about them.

00:27:23.720 So,

00:27:24.320 I'm not trying

00:27:24.960 to stay away

00:27:25.480 from them.

00:27:26.680 They're awesome.

00:27:28.400 But,

00:27:29.200 yes,

00:27:30.080 I think we should

00:27:30.980 be able

00:27:31.540 in 2022,

00:27:33.360 and here

00:27:33.840 I will fly

00:27:34.600 close to the sun

00:27:35.460 for you

00:27:35.840 so you don't

00:27:36.280 have to.

00:27:37.320 You know how

00:27:38.020 close I am

00:27:38.560 to being canceled

00:27:39.220 right now,

00:27:39.660 right?

00:27:41.360 But I'm doing

00:27:42.080 it because I think

00:27:42.820 the conversation

00:27:44.060 has to be

00:27:44.920 at least a little

00:27:46.000 bit more honest.

00:27:47.860 And I'm kind

00:27:48.360 of in that place

00:27:49.020 in my life

00:27:49.520 where I can be

00:27:50.080 honest on your

00:27:50.800 behalf.

00:27:52.140 We have a black 1.00

00:27:53.200 people problem 1.00

00:27:53.920 in this country

00:27:54.880 with crime

00:27:55.520 in the inner cities.

00:27:57.680 Now,

00:27:57.980 again,

00:27:58.700 if you said,

00:27:59.460 Scott,

00:28:00.100 that's so racist, 0.99

00:28:01.240 you said black 0.99

00:28:01.840 people,

00:28:02.280 and clearly

00:28:02.760 it's not black 0.99

00:28:03.580 people,

00:28:04.440 it's the low-income

00:28:05.440 people in a certain

00:28:06.380 situation.

00:28:07.500 Correct.

00:28:08.360 Correct.

00:28:09.120 Don't be

00:28:09.720 thrown off

00:28:10.960 by shorthand

00:28:12.080 shorthand

00:28:13.660 explanations.

00:28:15.340 We're all on

00:28:16.140 the same side

00:28:16.780 here.

00:28:17.020 Do you think

00:28:18.640 there's any

00:28:19.200 black people 0.98

00:28:19.980 who want 1.00

00:28:20.460 more black 0.99

00:28:21.180 crime? 0.89

00:28:22.080 No.

00:28:23.260 We're all on

00:28:23.620 the same side.

00:28:24.640 Let's just talk

00:28:25.220 about it honestly.

00:28:27.020 And here's a

00:28:27.800 little more honesty

00:28:28.480 for you if this

00:28:29.500 helps.

00:28:30.920 Why?

00:28:32.280 Like,

00:28:32.580 what's the

00:28:34.000 reason?

00:28:36.260 Is the reason 0.94

00:28:36.980 that black 1.00

00:28:38.200 people have

00:28:38.840 some genetic

00:28:39.620 defect?

00:28:41.240 Not as far

00:28:41.940 as I can

00:28:42.360 tell.

00:28:43.040 Because when 0.97

00:28:43.520 black people 0.97

00:28:44.000 have money, 0.99

00:28:44.580 they're not

00:28:44.880 rioting stores.

00:28:46.800 It looks like

00:28:47.580 a money problem,

00:28:48.280 doesn't it?

00:28:49.380 I mean,

00:28:49.660 primarily.

00:28:50.880 I don't know

00:28:51.560 if it's anything

00:28:52.180 else,

00:28:53.340 but the obvious

00:28:54.220 thing is that

00:28:54.860 people with

00:28:55.280 money don't

00:28:55.900 riot.

00:28:57.540 People with

00:28:58.120 jobs,

00:28:59.500 right?

00:29:00.360 Now,

00:29:01.020 you're going

00:29:01.600 back to another

00:29:02.200 level and you're

00:29:02.860 saying fathers.

00:29:05.520 I disagree

00:29:06.360 completely with

00:29:07.740 the father

00:29:08.300 interpretation.

00:29:10.040 Not because

00:29:10.820 you're wrong,

00:29:12.240 all right?

00:29:12.500 There's going

00:29:12.800 to be a nuance

00:29:13.360 here that some

00:29:14.400 of you may not

00:29:15.200 catch.

00:29:16.780 I definitely

00:29:17.740 agree that if

00:29:18.700 you had a

00:29:19.360 mother and a

00:29:19.880 father and

00:29:20.460 they were both

00:29:20.920 functional,

00:29:21.760 that's your

00:29:22.380 best situation.

00:29:23.780 Can we agree

00:29:24.320 on that?

00:29:25.880 Can we agree

00:29:26.500 that best

00:29:27.660 situation is a

00:29:28.920 functional mother

00:29:29.660 and father?

00:29:30.580 No question.

00:29:32.520 But when you

00:29:33.860 say the problem

00:29:34.420 is fathers,

00:29:35.040 you act like

00:29:35.560 that can be

00:29:36.140 fixed.

00:29:36.580 by just

00:29:37.920 saying,

00:29:38.740 well,

00:29:39.800 be better

00:29:40.320 fathers,

00:29:41.620 or what?

00:29:43.180 How do you

00:29:43.660 fix it?

00:29:44.440 No,

00:29:44.700 there's something

00:29:45.200 beyond that.

00:29:46.980 The father

00:29:47.860 thing is also

00:29:48.940 an outcome.

00:29:50.680 That's not

00:29:51.020 the root cause.

00:29:52.700 So,

00:29:53.000 one of the

00:29:54.800 reasons this

00:29:55.240 can't be

00:29:55.660 fixed is

00:29:56.740 that conservatives

00:29:57.420 are obsessed

00:29:58.720 with the

00:29:59.860 father thing.

00:30:02.080 They're right,

00:30:03.720 but it takes

00:30:04.360 you down the

00:30:04.760 wrong path.

00:30:05.380 because you

00:30:06.240 can't fix

00:30:06.680 it.

00:30:07.580 There's no

00:30:08.180 fixing that.

00:30:09.760 How in the

00:30:10.300 world are you

00:30:10.700 going to fix

00:30:11.080 that?

00:30:11.320 There's nothing

00:30:11.940 even close.

00:30:13.580 Nobody even

00:30:13.980 has a suggestion.

00:30:15.880 We've gone

00:30:16.480 decades and

00:30:17.360 nobody's even

00:30:18.000 suggested how

00:30:19.660 that could be

00:30:20.260 fixed.

00:30:20.920 Am I right?

00:30:22.060 But where's

00:30:23.200 the plan?

00:30:24.880 Where's the

00:30:25.660 policy?

00:30:26.920 There is none.

00:30:28.660 Nobody has

00:30:29.340 any idea how

00:30:29.900 to fix that.

00:30:30.620 So if you

00:30:31.080 say to yourself

00:30:31.680 that's the root

00:30:32.480 cause,

00:30:33.020 well then

00:30:34.060 you've just

00:30:34.420 given up

00:30:35.020 because there's

00:30:35.940 no way to

00:30:36.280 fix that.

00:30:37.940 So let's

00:30:38.600 go back

00:30:38.960 further.

00:30:41.680 Systemic

00:30:42.220 racism is

00:30:42.960 the problem.

00:30:45.140 Now some

00:30:45.960 of you may

00:30:46.960 not believe

00:30:47.740 that's the

00:30:48.240 problem,

00:30:48.860 but I'm

00:30:49.300 absolutely

00:30:49.700 convinced

00:30:50.180 systemic

00:30:51.000 racism is

00:30:52.000 the cause

00:30:52.540 for why

00:30:53.720 Fox News

00:30:54.500 can show

00:30:55.100 a video 0.99

00:30:55.640 every fucking 1.00

00:30:56.740 day of 1.00

00:30:58.040 black people 1.00

00:30:58.740 killing non-black 1.00

00:30:59.680 people on the 1.00

00:31:01.140 street.

00:31:01.460 it's not

00:31:03.620 because some

00:31:05.680 weird genetic

00:31:06.480 oddity,

00:31:07.380 it's because

00:31:08.300 somehow we

00:31:08.980 got here.

00:31:10.920 And the way

00:31:11.660 we got here

00:31:12.280 was systemic

00:31:13.040 racism.

00:31:14.700 Specifically,

00:31:16.660 specifically

00:31:19.400 who?

00:31:21.360 You know

00:31:22.320 who,

00:31:23.020 white women. 1.00

00:31:24.560 White women 1.00

00:31:25.260 are the cause. 0.99

00:31:27.100 It's all 0.89

00:31:27.840 white women. 1.00

00:31:29.260 I'm sorry.

00:31:29.740 it's white

00:31:30.940 women who 0.99

00:31:31.400 are teachers

00:31:31.920 and run

00:31:32.700 the teachers

00:31:33.140 unions.

00:31:33.660 That's it.

00:31:35.080 The whole 1.00

00:31:35.580 fucking 1.00

00:31:35.920 problem with 1.00

00:31:36.800 black crime 1.00

00:31:38.180 in America 0.99

00:31:38.720 is white

00:31:40.440 women. 0.81

00:31:41.700 If white 0.64

00:31:42.420 women had 0.99

00:31:44.140 done the

00:31:44.520 job for

00:31:45.220 the people

00:31:45.760 instead of

00:31:47.020 the job

00:31:47.460 for themselves,

00:31:48.920 which is

00:31:49.460 what is good

00:31:49.980 for teachers,

00:31:51.020 that's what

00:31:51.440 teachers unions

00:31:52.040 do.

00:31:52.760 It's not

00:31:53.200 the teachers

00:31:53.680 unions' 0.57

00:31:54.100 job to

00:31:54.800 help you

00:31:56.240 be successful.

00:31:56.980 not at

00:31:58.600 all.

00:31:59.260 The teachers

00:31:59.840 union is

00:32:00.400 to help

00:32:00.640 the teachers

00:32:01.160 be successful.

00:32:02.640 It's not

00:32:02.960 for the

00:32:03.220 kids.

00:32:04.700 So we

00:32:05.400 have a

00:32:05.760 system

00:32:06.140 which

00:32:07.280 rewards

00:32:08.000 people

00:32:09.260 for not

00:32:11.040 doing the

00:32:11.560 work,

00:32:13.300 or rewards

00:32:14.100 them independent

00:32:14.960 of whether

00:32:15.380 they do the

00:32:15.880 work or

00:32:16.220 not.

00:32:17.120 Now,

00:32:17.600 what would

00:32:18.020 be the

00:32:18.280 way to

00:32:18.820 fix that?

00:32:20.580 How do

00:32:21.180 you change

00:32:22.460 the situation

00:32:23.140 where any

00:32:24.360 rational American

00:32:25.380 would stay as

00:32:26.160 far away from 0.99

00:32:26.940 black people 0.99

00:32:27.660 as they 0.58

00:32:28.200 could?

00:32:28.960 Because that's

00:32:29.400 where we

00:32:29.720 are.

00:32:31.880 And again,

00:32:33.320 when I say

00:32:34.240 any rational

00:32:34.880 person,

00:32:35.360 I include

00:32:36.080 black people. 0.56

00:32:39.400 You're telling 0.99

00:32:40.100 me if you're

00:32:40.920 a generic 0.93

00:32:44.500 black citizen

00:32:45.940 of the United 0.84

00:32:46.660 States,

00:32:47.280 you're telling

00:32:47.700 me you want

00:32:48.180 to go to

00:32:48.680 the inner

00:32:49.180 city where

00:32:49.780 it's mostly 0.99

00:32:51.500 black because 1.00

00:32:52.760 there's going 0.98

00:32:53.040 to be a lot

00:32:53.300 of crime there.

00:32:54.280 Nobody wants

00:32:54.940 that.

00:32:55.200 And this

00:32:55.940 isn't as

00:32:56.460 racial as

00:32:57.080 it sounds.

00:32:58.280 And if we

00:32:59.020 can't talk

00:32:59.560 about it as

00:33:00.260 bluntly as

00:33:01.880 I am,

00:33:03.400 about why

00:33:03.880 does it look

00:33:04.320 like the

00:33:04.640 problem is 0.99

00:33:05.040 all black 0.99

00:33:05.440 people and 0.94

00:33:06.420 crime?

00:33:07.560 Why does

00:33:08.080 it look like

00:33:08.640 that?

00:33:09.440 It's white

00:33:09.900 women. 0.81

00:33:11.460 Ultimately,

00:33:12.140 they're the

00:33:12.440 cause of it

00:33:12.900 all.

00:33:13.760 It's just 1.00

00:33:14.280 fucking white 1.00

00:33:14.860 women. 1.00

00:33:16.080 And do you

00:33:16.820 know why

00:33:17.100 white women 1.00

00:33:17.700 can do this

00:33:20.140 and have this

00:33:20.600 much power?

00:33:21.140 because they

00:33:23.960 own white

00:33:24.800 men by the 1.00

00:33:25.440 balls. 1.00

00:33:26.400 White men 0.97

00:33:26.900 don't have 0.99

00:33:27.180 any power

00:33:27.540 over white

00:33:28.000 women. 0.81

00:33:29.360 I'm not

00:33:29.980 saying they

00:33:30.360 necessarily

00:33:30.980 should.

00:33:32.300 I don't

00:33:32.660 know if

00:33:32.940 there's any

00:33:34.300 reason that

00:33:34.980 they should.

00:33:35.840 I'm just

00:33:36.160 saying that's

00:33:36.560 a description

00:33:37.140 of the

00:33:37.460 situation.

00:33:38.820 White women 1.00

00:33:39.480 have all 0.99

00:33:40.320 the power

00:33:40.720 and they've

00:33:42.200 decided to

00:33:43.100 destroy the

00:33:45.420 underpinnings

00:33:48.640 of the

00:33:49.440 nation

00:33:49.740 because it's

00:33:51.820 good for

00:33:52.120 the union.

00:33:53.260 Good for

00:33:53.640 them.

00:33:55.060 Now, I'm

00:33:55.420 oversimplifying

00:33:56.120 everything,

00:33:56.620 right?

00:33:57.320 But sometimes

00:33:57.920 oversimplification

00:33:59.060 can kind of

00:34:00.780 move you down

00:34:01.220 the road a

00:34:01.620 little bit

00:34:02.000 and we can

00:34:03.620 add some

00:34:03.980 nuance from

00:34:04.580 there.

00:34:05.940 And let me

00:34:06.400 say it again.

00:34:08.180 For everybody

00:34:09.080 who is going

00:34:09.860 to white

00:34:12.180 nationalists

00:34:12.820 or something,

00:34:13.500 I know that's

00:34:14.160 going to

00:34:14.340 happen.

00:34:15.420 I'll give

00:34:19.480 you some

00:34:19.740 background.

00:34:23.120 I didn't

00:34:25.400 support his

00:34:25.820 protest,

00:34:26.600 but I

00:34:27.140 supported his

00:34:27.820 protest.

00:34:29.120 You know

00:34:29.720 that I

00:34:30.100 tried to

00:34:30.720 work with

00:34:31.060 Black Lives

00:34:31.580 Matter to

00:34:32.140 actually see

00:34:32.700 if I could

00:34:33.180 write up

00:34:34.420 some of

00:34:34.780 their

00:34:34.980 recommendations

00:34:35.700 for police

00:34:37.140 interactions

00:34:38.340 and see if

00:34:39.500 I could help

00:34:39.860 them.

00:34:40.740 That didn't

00:34:41.140 go anywhere.

00:34:43.040 Do you

00:34:43.560 know why?

00:34:45.420 There wasn't

00:34:46.880 any interest

00:34:47.380 in solutions.

00:34:48.880 And I

00:34:49.080 had to

00:34:49.320 actually do

00:34:50.820 the work

00:34:51.260 to find out

00:34:51.840 that was

00:34:52.200 true.

00:34:53.260 It was

00:34:53.640 really about

00:34:54.220 the organizers

00:34:55.900 just had

00:34:57.680 made jobs

00:34:58.260 for themselves.

00:34:58.980 That's all

00:34:59.260 it was.

00:35:00.140 Black Lives

00:35:00.600 Matter was 0.52

00:35:01.060 basically

00:35:01.580 organizers

00:35:02.240 who created

00:35:02.920 jobs for

00:35:03.520 themselves.

00:35:05.480 That's all.

00:35:07.080 Did you see

00:35:08.340 that no

00:35:08.820 recommendations

00:35:09.440 ever came

00:35:10.040 out of

00:35:10.300 Black Lives

00:35:10.760 Matter?

00:35:11.020 because they

00:35:12.460 didn't need

00:35:13.040 any solutions.

00:35:14.920 They weren't

00:35:15.620 interested.

00:35:16.540 I never saw

00:35:17.180 any interest

00:35:17.780 in solution

00:35:18.320 at all.

00:35:20.440 So

00:35:20.680 that's where

00:35:23.780 we are on

00:35:24.280 that.

00:35:28.480 So the

00:35:29.280 reason I'm

00:35:29.700 reminding you

00:35:30.240 that is

00:35:30.720 that I'm

00:35:32.240 all about

00:35:32.760 the solution

00:35:33.420 and if

00:35:35.880 saying blunt

00:35:37.240 things that

00:35:37.840 make people

00:35:38.320 mad at me

00:35:38.840 so that

00:35:39.260 they'll argue

00:35:39.700 with me

00:35:40.180 gets me

00:35:41.180 more

00:35:41.400 attention

00:35:41.840 then I'm

00:35:43.200 going to

00:35:43.380 use that

00:35:43.880 to help

00:35:44.680 work on

00:35:45.100 solutions.

00:35:46.480 You already

00:35:47.300 know that

00:35:47.880 I've been

00:35:49.020 turning my

00:35:49.740 one book

00:35:50.680 into a

00:35:51.520 teacher's

00:35:52.080 guide.

00:35:53.380 So it'll

00:35:53.800 be a

00:35:54.080 curriculum

00:35:54.440 and teacher's

00:35:55.120 guide.

00:35:55.640 And what

00:35:56.180 it teaches

00:35:56.620 you is

00:35:58.140 how to

00:35:58.480 succeed

00:35:58.880 even if

00:35:59.520 you have

00:35:59.720 a big

00:36:00.040 disadvantage.

00:36:01.800 So it

00:36:02.600 should be

00:36:02.960 exactly

00:36:03.640 what anybody

00:36:05.060 who's low

00:36:05.580 income

00:36:05.860 would need

00:36:06.420 and if

00:36:08.120 there's any

00:36:08.520 way to

00:36:08.960 get that

00:36:09.460 especially

00:36:09.940 into the

00:36:10.480 black

00:36:10.840 population 0.94

00:36:11.880 I would

00:36:12.420 think that

00:36:12.880 strategy

00:36:13.560 would help

00:36:14.180 the most.

00:36:15.260 Did you

00:36:15.480 see what

00:36:15.760 happened the

00:36:16.100 other day

00:36:16.440 when I

00:36:16.740 said in

00:36:17.100 public

00:36:17.420 that a 0.87

00:36:19.620 black

00:36:20.180 candidate 0.58

00:36:20.880 of equal

00:36:21.760 qualifications

00:36:22.840 has a

00:36:24.040 five times

00:36:24.760 advantage

00:36:25.160 over a

00:36:25.580 white

00:36:25.760 candidate?

00:36:27.180 Did you

00:36:27.460 see what

00:36:27.720 happened

00:36:27.940 when I

00:36:28.180 said that

00:36:28.460 in public?

00:36:31.800 Yeah.

00:36:32.680 I got

00:36:33.400 some pushback

00:36:34.800 but very

00:36:36.280 little.

00:36:37.780 It's

00:36:38.040 2022.

00:36:39.020 Things are

00:36:39.640 changing a

00:36:40.200 little bit.

00:36:40.800 The things

00:36:41.140 you can

00:36:41.640 and cannot

00:36:42.060 say are

00:36:43.120 always

00:36:43.480 changing and

00:36:44.540 there's

00:36:44.920 something

00:36:45.160 happening

00:36:45.520 here.

00:36:46.140 There are

00:36:46.380 things I

00:36:46.800 think that

00:36:47.240 at least

00:36:47.480 some of

00:36:47.920 us can

00:36:48.660 now say

00:36:49.100 out loud.

00:36:50.340 You can't

00:36:50.900 yet.

00:36:51.320 You don't

00:36:51.640 have freedom

00:36:52.040 of speech

00:36:52.420 like I

00:36:52.840 do.

00:36:53.820 I have

00:36:54.260 freedom of

00:36:54.660 speech because

00:36:55.080 I'm willing

00:36:55.380 to pay for

00:36:55.920 it.

00:36:56.660 I guess it's

00:36:57.100 not free.

00:36:57.600 The only

00:36:59.820 reason I

00:37:00.160 can do

00:37:00.420 it is I

00:37:00.840 know what

00:37:02.260 the price

00:37:02.620 is.

00:37:04.100 The price

00:37:04.900 is full

00:37:05.400 cancellation

00:37:05.940 and destruction

00:37:06.720 of my

00:37:07.400 reputation.

00:37:10.080 Economic

00:37:10.640 destruction.

00:37:11.840 That's the

00:37:12.300 price.

00:37:13.700 And I

00:37:14.100 say okay

00:37:14.640 because I

00:37:15.820 can afford

00:37:16.220 it.

00:37:16.860 You can't

00:37:17.340 afford it

00:37:17.840 but I

00:37:18.860 can.

00:37:20.600 So I'm

00:37:22.040 going to

00:37:22.240 try to

00:37:22.520 help the 0.81

00:37:23.460 black

00:37:23.800 population 0.86

00:37:24.400 of this

00:37:24.740 country as

00:37:25.620 much as

00:37:26.060 possible.

00:37:26.440 And I

00:37:28.320 do think

00:37:28.840 that going

00:37:30.840 directly as

00:37:31.600 systemic racism

00:37:32.600 as it

00:37:33.640 permeates the

00:37:35.140 education part

00:37:36.200 of our

00:37:36.640 entire structure

00:37:37.640 and really

00:37:38.540 ruins everything

00:37:39.340 above it,

00:37:40.420 that if you're

00:37:41.000 not on that

00:37:41.760 you're not

00:37:42.740 doing anything.

00:37:44.320 Everything

00:37:44.680 else is just

00:37:45.360 blah blah blah

00:37:46.040 blah.

00:37:50.520 Let's talk

00:37:51.220 about fentanyl.

00:37:52.460 I don't want

00:37:53.180 to bore you

00:37:53.660 with the same

00:37:54.660 old fentanyl

00:37:55.420 things.

00:37:55.760 And I

00:37:56.000 know that

00:37:56.380 for most

00:37:56.860 of you

00:37:57.240 it's not

00:37:57.680 really a

00:37:58.100 big issue.

00:37:58.860 It's not

00:37:59.220 like inflation

00:37:59.900 touches everybody.

00:38:01.960 But fentanyl

00:38:02.400 is getting

00:38:02.700 bigger.

00:38:03.960 So with

00:38:04.920 your permission,

00:38:06.460 this will be

00:38:07.100 toward the

00:38:08.780 end of what

00:38:09.580 I'm going to

00:38:09.940 do today.

00:38:11.380 I want to

00:38:12.160 present it

00:38:12.760 as

00:38:13.160 persuasion

00:38:16.480 lessons.

00:38:18.020 Would you

00:38:18.420 find value

00:38:18.980 in that?

00:38:19.760 So I'm

00:38:20.220 telling you

00:38:20.580 how I'm

00:38:21.260 persuading and

00:38:22.520 I'll let you

00:38:22.900 follow along

00:38:23.680 so you can

00:38:24.700 see technique

00:38:25.420 as it

00:38:25.780 happens.

00:38:26.440 Because I

00:38:26.680 think that's

00:38:27.040 useful.

00:38:27.880 So it's

00:38:28.360 one thing to

00:38:28.860 talk about

00:38:29.560 persuasion

00:38:30.340 technique and

00:38:31.640 it's another to

00:38:32.240 see it actually

00:38:32.860 employed in the

00:38:33.760 real world as

00:38:34.660 it's happening.

00:38:36.240 And the one

00:38:36.580 thing, the funny

00:38:37.620 thing about

00:38:38.000 persuasion is you

00:38:38.800 can describe it

00:38:39.840 to the people

00:38:41.240 you're persuading.

00:38:41.940 I'm using this

00:38:43.680 technique right

00:38:45.160 in front of

00:38:45.560 you.

00:38:46.240 It still

00:38:46.640 works.

00:38:47.400 It doesn't

00:38:47.760 make any

00:38:48.100 difference at

00:38:48.520 all.

00:38:49.400 That's the

00:38:49.880 weird thing

00:38:50.240 about

00:38:50.440 persuasion.

00:38:53.140 All right.

00:38:55.720 Number one,

00:38:59.040 Fox News is

00:39:00.720 one of the

00:39:01.180 biggest causes

00:39:02.400 of the

00:39:03.180 fentanyl

00:39:04.460 problem.

00:39:07.360 Fox News

00:39:08.260 is one of

00:39:09.900 the biggest

00:39:10.420 causes of

00:39:12.400 the fentanyl

00:39:13.400 emergency.

00:39:16.440 Ready for

00:39:17.280 this argument?

00:39:19.780 Today, as a

00:39:21.080 perfect example,

00:39:21.840 there's a big

00:39:22.140 article, a major

00:39:23.460 article in Fox

00:39:24.300 News that says

00:39:25.580 that too much

00:39:27.480 fentanyl is

00:39:28.080 getting across

00:39:28.580 the border and

00:39:29.420 that Biden's

00:39:30.240 border policy is

00:39:33.260 worsening the

00:39:34.520 fentanyl crisis.

00:39:37.300 So Fox News

00:39:38.540 reports that the

00:39:39.520 border, the

00:39:41.020 Biden's border

00:39:41.900 crisis, his

00:39:43.380 bad border

00:39:44.020 control, is

00:39:45.820 worsening the

00:39:47.900 fentanyl

00:39:48.480 crisis.

00:39:49.420 How is Fox

00:39:50.300 News the

00:39:50.740 actual cause of

00:39:51.620 the worsening

00:39:52.060 crisis?

00:39:53.280 Tell me.

00:39:54.680 Why is it that

00:39:55.660 Fox News is

00:39:56.380 actually,

00:39:57.140 literally, there's

00:39:58.060 no hyperbole

00:39:58.680 here, literally a

00:39:59.880 major cause of

00:40:00.700 the problem?

00:40:01.080 Is it not

00:40:06.100 obvious?

00:40:08.300 Because they've

00:40:09.100 diverted all of

00:40:10.120 your political

00:40:11.020 energy to the

00:40:11.980 wrong place.

00:40:13.580 They know they

00:40:14.400 can draw you to

00:40:15.060 the wall, right?

00:40:16.320 Wall, wall, wall. 0.97

00:40:18.180 Illegals. 0.98

00:40:19.120 Oh, any good

00:40:20.480 reason for a wall

00:40:21.300 is good with me.

00:40:22.640 Throw fentanyl in

00:40:23.560 there.

00:40:24.240 The wall has

00:40:24.900 almost nothing to

00:40:26.060 do with the

00:40:26.460 fentanyl problem.

00:40:27.200 You could throw

00:40:30.000 a baseball full

00:40:31.760 of fentanyl over

00:40:32.640 the wall, and

00:40:33.920 it's enough to

00:40:34.460 poison all of

00:40:35.340 San Francisco. 0.99

00:40:37.420 If they catch

00:40:38.420 90% of the

00:40:39.260 fentanyl, there's

00:40:40.960 still plenty.

00:40:42.040 10% would be

00:40:42.940 enough to light

00:40:43.800 up the whole

00:40:44.180 country, right?

00:40:45.620 The border wall

00:40:46.620 has nothing,

00:40:47.640 almost nothing.

00:40:48.960 I mean, it

00:40:49.340 helps.

00:40:49.820 I'd still do it

00:40:50.620 because you need

00:40:51.640 to do it for

00:40:52.040 other reasons,

00:40:52.760 too, right?

00:40:53.160 It's not just

00:40:53.920 about fentanyl.

00:40:54.960 So I'm strong

00:40:56.200 on border security.

00:40:58.140 But every day

00:40:59.560 that Fox News

00:41:00.400 tells you that

00:41:01.160 border security

00:41:01.920 and fentanyl

00:41:02.660 are the same

00:41:03.220 topic, you are 1.00

00:41:04.920 being fucked 1.00

00:41:05.620 over badly. 1.00

00:41:07.180 They are 1.00

00:41:07.540 fucking you so 1.00

00:41:08.400 badly. 1.00

00:41:09.380 I mean, they're

00:41:09.760 really doing you

00:41:10.400 a super disservice.

00:41:12.420 If Fox News

00:41:13.560 ever educated

00:41:14.500 itself up to

00:41:15.240 the point, and

00:41:16.160 maybe it does

00:41:16.700 now, it is just

00:41:17.480 choosing to make

00:41:18.320 money this way.

00:41:19.280 This could be

00:41:19.740 just a money-making

00:41:20.420 thing.

00:41:21.560 If they would

00:41:22.380 ever properly

00:41:23.220 educate conservatives,

00:41:24.980 we'd have a

00:41:25.720 chance.

00:41:26.780 But Fox News

00:41:27.660 is telling you

00:41:28.200 all the wrong

00:41:28.820 stuff.

00:41:29.900 And so you're

00:41:30.360 getting all

00:41:30.720 worked up about

00:41:31.400 border stuff and

00:41:32.840 thinking, doesn't

00:41:34.180 it make sense to

00:41:34.860 you that if they

00:41:35.400 fix the border,

00:41:36.380 well, there's your

00:41:37.440 fentanyl problem

00:41:38.200 right there.

00:41:39.300 So why don't we

00:41:39.960 do what we know

00:41:40.660 we should do, fix

00:41:42.000 that border, and

00:41:43.020 then I got the

00:41:44.220 border and I got

00:41:44.880 the fentanyl fixed

00:41:45.740 too.

00:41:46.460 No, Fox News is

00:41:47.580 lying to you or

00:41:48.700 they don't know.

00:41:49.540 But it's a

00:41:51.360 gigantic emergency

00:41:54.240 that they're

00:41:54.880 misinforming you

00:41:55.640 this badly.

00:41:57.140 Now, I don't

00:41:57.600 know if CNN is

00:41:58.680 doing the same

00:41:59.280 thing, but I

00:42:00.560 don't think CNN

00:42:01.500 is saying the

00:42:02.280 border is the

00:42:04.380 big problem.

00:42:05.080 I think CNN is

00:42:05.940 doing a version of

00:42:06.820 this that's almost

00:42:08.260 as bad.

00:42:09.320 Here's the version

00:42:10.140 that's almost as

00:42:10.820 bad.

00:42:12.000 Biden caught

00:42:12.920 more fentanyl

00:42:13.880 at the border

00:42:14.540 than Trump did.

00:42:15.840 So, therefore,

00:42:17.340 Biden's doing

00:42:17.860 okay, right?

00:42:19.160 Because they

00:42:19.560 captured more

00:42:20.360 fentanyl than

00:42:21.500 Trump did.

00:42:23.500 That doesn't

00:42:24.560 tell you anything.

00:42:26.500 There's no

00:42:27.220 information in

00:42:28.320 that.

00:42:29.100 You think there

00:42:29.780 is.

00:42:30.680 Oh, there used

00:42:32.020 to be this much

00:42:32.780 fentanyl, but

00:42:34.040 they capture this

00:42:34.940 much, therefore

00:42:36.300 there's less

00:42:37.220 available.

00:42:38.080 No, nothing

00:42:39.220 like that

00:42:39.620 happened.

00:42:40.880 Nope.

00:42:42.120 No.

00:42:42.920 Let me explain

00:42:43.540 what happened.

00:42:45.160 Yesterday,

00:42:45.840 when fentanyl

00:42:46.680 was, let's

00:42:47.180 say, 100

00:42:47.940 pounds, and

00:42:49.420 they caught,

00:42:50.260 let's say,

00:42:51.520 half of it.

00:42:53.420 So they got

00:42:54.260 50 pounds.

00:42:56.380 And then the

00:42:56.860 next day, there

00:42:57.980 was 10,000 0.99

00:42:58.940 trillion fucking 0.99

00:42:59.800 pounds that 0.99

00:43:00.340 went across, but

00:43:01.080 they only caught

00:43:01.660 1% of it.

00:43:03.500 Was it more or

00:43:04.560 less the second

00:43:05.380 day when they

00:43:06.500 only caught 1%

00:43:07.460 of it?

00:43:07.820 It was more.

00:43:09.080 It was way

00:43:09.580 more.

00:43:10.880 So, have I

00:43:12.000 ever taught you

00:43:12.660 that if they

00:43:13.500 tell you a

00:43:14.440 number without

00:43:15.080 the percentage

00:43:15.920 or the

00:43:17.880 percentage

00:43:18.300 without the

00:43:18.940 number, they're

00:43:19.460 lying to you.

00:43:22.060 If the news

00:43:23.000 tells you the

00:43:23.620 number without

00:43:24.320 the percentage,

00:43:25.360 it's a lie.

00:43:26.400 If they tell you

00:43:27.200 the percentage

00:43:27.760 without the

00:43:28.360 number, it's

00:43:29.380 a lie.

00:43:30.420 It's propaganda.

00:43:32.060 Every day that

00:43:32.960 you see the

00:43:33.920 tons or the

00:43:35.140 number of doses

00:43:36.000 that's captured

00:43:37.200 at the border,

00:43:38.000 that's a lie

00:43:38.960 by the news.

00:43:39.840 And if you

00:43:41.120 think, oh, good

00:43:42.360 news, they've

00:43:43.020 caught a bunch

00:43:43.560 of fentanyl.

00:43:44.440 No, no, that's

00:43:46.000 a lie.

00:43:47.300 Maybe they did

00:43:48.040 catch it.

00:43:48.960 They may have

00:43:49.420 caught this

00:43:50.140 much.

00:43:50.820 But if they

00:43:51.320 don't tell you

00:43:51.900 what percentage

00:43:52.640 that is of the

00:43:53.480 hole, or they 0.83

00:43:54.760 don't tell you

00:43:55.340 how easily it

00:43:56.080 would have been

00:43:57.020 to ship it a

00:43:57.700 different way,

00:43:59.060 do you know

00:43:59.400 why it comes

00:43:59.920 across the

00:44:00.680 border?

00:44:01.660 Because it's

00:44:02.240 easy.

00:44:03.900 If the border

00:44:04.700 were secure, do

00:44:05.480 you know where

00:44:05.740 it would come

00:44:06.160 through?

00:44:07.180 Somewhere

00:44:07.660 else.

00:44:08.960 Just send

00:44:09.380 a FedEx.

00:44:10.920 You tell me

00:44:11.440 you can't mail

00:44:12.020 fentanyl

00:44:12.960 FedEx?

00:44:15.900 Really?

00:44:16.960 You tell me

00:44:17.620 you can't

00:44:18.040 vacuum seal

00:44:18.840 some pills

00:44:19.600 in a FedEx

00:44:22.020 box and

00:44:23.600 wash the

00:44:24.240 vacuum pack

00:44:25.000 so there's

00:44:25.380 no smell,

00:44:27.760 and just

00:44:28.020 put it in

00:44:28.460 a FedEx

00:44:28.920 or whatever

00:44:30.400 the mail is

00:44:30.960 and mail it?

00:44:32.500 Of course

00:44:33.040 you can.

00:44:33.980 You tell me

00:44:34.500 you can't

00:44:34.820 put it in

00:44:35.140 a boat?

00:44:36.420 And drop

00:44:37.320 it off on

00:44:37.860 any kind

00:44:39.620 of boat?

00:44:40.520 Because you

00:44:40.860 don't need

00:44:41.180 a big boat

00:44:41.780 because it's

00:44:42.420 so small.

00:44:44.580 All right,

00:44:45.140 so here's

00:44:45.660 some of the

00:44:46.580 persuasion

00:44:47.540 that I'm

00:44:47.800 using.

00:44:53.820 Which I

00:44:55.360 told myself

00:44:56.040 I was going

00:44:56.620 to have

00:44:58.300 on my

00:44:58.620 notes,

00:44:59.000 but instead

00:44:59.400 I'll be

00:44:59.820 reading them

00:45:00.180 off my

00:45:00.520 tweet.

00:45:01.600 So I

00:45:02.040 did a

00:45:02.360 Twitter

00:45:02.600 thread on

00:45:03.280 all the

00:45:03.760 illusions

00:45:04.540 of

00:45:05.500 fentanyl.

00:45:07.340 Some I've

00:45:07.840 mentioned

00:45:08.100 before,

00:45:08.640 but you're

00:45:08.920 going to

00:45:09.020 want to

00:45:09.180 hear these

00:45:09.480 again.

00:45:11.480 All right,

00:45:12.060 so I

00:45:12.340 started out

00:45:13.320 by saying

00:45:13.700 that fentanyl

00:45:14.300 and nuclear

00:45:14.760 power failures

00:45:16.660 are the same

00:45:17.260 problem.

00:45:18.760 So here's the

00:45:19.600 first persuasion

00:45:20.980 trick.

00:45:22.200 I'm comparing

00:45:22.820 fentanyl to

00:45:23.800 nuclear power,

00:45:24.660 as I did

00:45:25.220 earlier.

00:45:25.820 In both

00:45:26.480 cases,

00:45:27.700 the problem

00:45:28.160 is an

00:45:28.560 education

00:45:29.140 problem that

00:45:29.900 we have been

00:45:30.420 fooled into

00:45:31.060 thinking are

00:45:31.600 policy differences.

00:45:32.600 They're not

00:45:33.680 policy

00:45:34.060 differences.

00:45:35.140 They're

00:45:35.500 education

00:45:35.940 differences.

00:45:36.900 If you

00:45:37.340 educate somebody

00:45:38.220 on nuclear

00:45:39.200 power, the

00:45:40.920 two of you

00:45:41.360 will be on

00:45:41.760 the same

00:45:42.180 side in

00:45:43.580 two minutes,

00:45:45.360 assuming they

00:45:45.960 believe you,

00:45:46.580 right?

00:45:47.980 With

00:45:48.520 fentanyl,

00:45:49.700 same thing.

00:45:51.120 The only

00:45:51.700 people who

00:45:52.160 think they're

00:45:52.620 disagreeing on

00:45:53.280 policy are

00:45:54.580 because they're

00:45:55.000 not educated

00:45:55.680 on it.

00:45:56.420 Everybody

00:45:56.820 who's educated

00:45:57.460 on policy

00:45:57.980 ends up in

00:45:58.480 the same

00:45:58.740 place.

00:45:59.780 I'm sorry,

00:46:00.320 everybody who's

00:46:00.740 educated on

00:46:01.240 fentanyl ends

00:46:01.920 up in the

00:46:02.260 same place.

00:46:02.960 Same with

00:46:03.420 nuclear.

00:46:04.480 So this is

00:46:05.320 purely an

00:46:06.000 education

00:46:06.460 problem,

00:46:07.220 and the

00:46:07.860 thing that

00:46:08.280 keeps us

00:46:08.700 from being

00:46:09.080 educated is

00:46:09.980 a bunch of

00:46:10.720 illusions.

00:46:12.000 So there

00:46:12.560 are illusions

00:46:13.100 about nuclear's

00:46:14.500 risk, and

00:46:15.980 there are

00:46:16.240 illusions about

00:46:17.160 what you can

00:46:17.960 and cannot do

00:46:18.580 about fentanyl.

00:46:19.700 In both

00:46:20.200 cases, these

00:46:21.020 are education

00:46:23.360 problems, but

00:46:24.060 a special

00:46:24.500 kind.

00:46:25.660 Because it's

00:46:26.240 not just

00:46:27.140 telling you

00:46:27.800 stuff, it's

00:46:29.060 removing a

00:46:30.020 hardcore, deep

00:46:31.620 illusion.

00:46:32.980 And education

00:46:33.740 doesn't do

00:46:34.740 that.

00:46:36.120 Let me say

00:46:36.760 that again.

00:46:38.600 If you have

00:46:40.140 no preconceived

00:46:41.060 idea, education

00:46:42.200 works great.

00:46:43.940 Young people

00:46:44.780 come into

00:46:45.220 school, they're

00:46:46.380 told things for

00:46:47.100 the very first

00:46:47.720 time, it works

00:46:48.600 great.

00:46:49.460 But if you've

00:46:50.100 got a deep

00:46:50.640 bias, education

00:46:52.360 doesn't make any

00:46:52.980 difference at all.

00:46:54.300 It doesn't even

00:46:54.940 touch it.

00:46:56.440 So that's the

00:46:57.400 problem with

00:46:57.740 fentanyl, is

00:46:58.680 that the deep

00:46:59.740 biases are not

00:47:00.600 subject to

00:47:01.360 better information.

00:47:02.860 All right, so

00:47:03.320 watch the way I

00:47:06.140 word these.

00:47:08.800 So we're going

00:47:09.820 for the

00:47:10.400 persuasion

00:47:11.640 technique here,

00:47:12.400 right?

00:47:12.960 So first of all,

00:47:13.920 I did a thread

00:47:14.760 in list form,

00:47:16.960 you know, one

00:47:17.420 through whatever.

00:47:19.200 Threads tend to

00:47:20.140 get a lot of

00:47:20.620 attention, and

00:47:22.800 they get

00:47:23.180 retweeted, and

00:47:24.320 they go through

00:47:24.940 thread readers

00:47:25.960 and stuff.

00:47:26.380 So if you

00:47:27.140 want to make

00:47:27.620 a bigger

00:47:28.260 point, a

00:47:29.520 thread gets

00:47:30.120 it done

00:47:30.520 better than

00:47:31.020 one tweet.

00:47:31.920 So that's

00:47:32.180 the first

00:47:32.480 trick.

00:47:37.180 So here's

00:47:37.940 what I said.

00:47:38.580 Number one,

00:47:38.980 people believe

00:47:39.520 demand can be

00:47:40.560 reduced.

00:47:41.980 So people

00:47:42.440 believe that

00:47:42.920 you can reduce

00:47:43.540 the demand

00:47:44.180 for fentanyl.

00:47:45.240 But I said,

00:47:46.180 but no one

00:47:46.620 has ever seen

00:47:47.320 that approach

00:47:47.940 succeed anywhere.

00:47:49.720 We only believe

00:47:50.660 someone else

00:47:51.460 knows how to

00:47:52.040 reduce demand.

00:47:52.800 So here,

00:47:54.800 the trick I

00:47:55.460 use here is

00:47:56.180 anticipating what

00:47:57.260 somebody is going

00:47:57.920 to think and

00:47:59.180 say.

00:48:00.120 If you can

00:48:00.900 anticipate their

00:48:01.820 objection and

00:48:02.580 then cut it

00:48:04.020 off before they

00:48:04.680 say it, that's

00:48:06.100 good technique.

00:48:07.700 And what I

00:48:08.360 anticipate is that

00:48:09.480 many of you are

00:48:10.300 saying it right

00:48:10.860 now, of course

00:48:12.160 there's a way to

00:48:12.780 reduce demand.

00:48:14.600 Of course there

00:48:15.140 is.

00:48:15.820 And then if I

00:48:16.480 asked you to

00:48:17.260 describe it,

00:48:18.140 you'd say,

00:48:18.940 well, there's

00:48:19.300 somebody who

00:48:19.760 knows how to

00:48:20.200 do it.

00:48:21.080 There's a group

00:48:21.760 that does this,

00:48:22.520 there's a group

00:48:23.080 that does

00:48:23.460 rehab, there's

00:48:24.680 an entity that

00:48:25.440 does this, and

00:48:26.660 I say, right,

00:48:27.720 that's what I

00:48:28.220 said.

00:48:28.900 You believe

00:48:29.800 someone else

00:48:30.860 knows how to

00:48:31.420 do it.

00:48:32.640 So do they.

00:48:34.580 Everyone believes

00:48:35.400 someone else

00:48:35.920 knows how to

00:48:36.420 do it.

00:48:37.300 That is the

00:48:38.600 illusion.

00:48:39.600 If anybody

00:48:40.460 knew how to

00:48:41.000 do it, that's

00:48:41.920 all I'd be

00:48:42.380 talking about.

00:48:43.600 If anybody

00:48:44.600 knew how to

00:48:45.260 decrease demand,

00:48:46.920 I wouldn't

00:48:47.600 talk about

00:48:48.060 anything else.

00:48:49.460 That's all I

00:48:50.040 would do.

00:48:50.680 All day long

00:48:51.500 I'd be, hey,

00:48:52.020 let's use

00:48:53.000 this technique

00:48:53.620 that people

00:48:54.360 know how to

00:48:54.840 use, reduce

00:48:55.920 that demand.

00:48:57.380 If it were a

00:48:58.280 case of

00:48:58.700 building more

00:48:59.300 rehab, I'd

00:49:00.940 be trying to

00:49:01.400 give funding

00:49:01.820 for that.

00:49:03.200 But nobody

00:49:04.040 knows how to

00:49:04.600 decrease demand

00:49:05.880 anywhere.

00:49:07.040 No one in

00:49:07.460 the world, no

00:49:07.960 one in the

00:49:08.260 professional world,

00:49:09.120 no one anywhere.

00:49:10.520 If you see it,

00:49:12.580 you are mistaken.

00:49:13.960 It doesn't

00:49:14.680 exist.

00:49:15.580 And there's

00:49:16.040 nobody who's

00:49:16.640 tried to help

00:49:17.200 an addict who

00:49:17.780 thinks it does.

00:49:18.900 they've

00:49:20.440 actually looked.

00:49:21.960 I've spent a

00:49:22.560 lot of time

00:49:22.940 looking.

00:49:23.760 I'm not

00:49:24.140 guessing.

00:49:25.680 It doesn't

00:49:26.160 exist.

00:49:27.420 And as soon

00:49:27.840 as you lose

00:49:28.360 the illusion

00:49:28.800 that you can

00:49:29.340 cut demand,

00:49:30.800 then maybe you

00:49:31.440 can concentrate

00:49:32.020 on something

00:49:32.440 that might

00:49:32.900 work.

00:49:36.200 People believe

00:49:37.040 that if you

00:49:37.540 cut the

00:49:38.000 fentanyl

00:49:38.480 precursors that

00:49:39.480 are flowing

00:49:39.860 in from

00:49:40.280 China, and

00:49:41.280 now India,

00:49:41.900 by the way.

00:49:42.920 So apparently

00:49:43.440 China did put 0.98

00:49:44.380 enough pressure

00:49:45.000 on their

00:49:45.500 dealers that

00:49:46.780 some of that

00:49:47.320 is moving

00:49:47.740 to India.

00:49:48.920 So I don't

00:49:49.540 know if that

00:49:49.980 means China

00:49:50.600 was a little

00:49:51.080 more serious

00:49:51.780 than I gave

00:49:52.280 them credit

00:49:52.700 for, or

00:49:54.480 not.

00:49:55.260 That's a little

00:49:55.920 opaque.

00:49:57.100 But people

00:49:57.660 believe that

00:49:58.140 cutting the

00:49:58.600 fentanyl

00:49:59.040 precursors that

00:50:00.320 come from

00:50:00.700 China and

00:50:01.140 India to

00:50:01.900 the Mexican

00:50:02.460 cartels won't

00:50:03.800 help.

00:50:05.200 They say if

00:50:05.740 you cut the

00:50:06.800 supply from

00:50:07.440 China through 0.87

00:50:08.100 the cartels,

00:50:08.840 it won't

00:50:09.080 help.

00:50:09.720 Because if

00:50:10.280 you do that,

00:50:10.820 they'll just

00:50:11.120 make it in

00:50:11.540 America.

00:50:12.660 Because it's

00:50:13.300 not hard to

00:50:13.840 make, people

00:50:14.460 say.

00:50:15.100 Well, they'll

00:50:15.400 just make it

00:50:15.840 in garages like

00:50:16.640 meth.

00:50:17.320 To which I

00:50:18.720 say, no,

00:50:19.740 that's an

00:50:20.100 illusion.

00:50:21.080 How do I

00:50:21.500 know that's

00:50:21.920 an illusion?

00:50:22.860 Because it'd

00:50:23.540 be happening

00:50:23.940 right now.

00:50:25.640 Why would

00:50:25.980 you get your

00:50:26.440 chemicals from

00:50:29.100 China and

00:50:30.140 India and

00:50:30.820 the cartels if

00:50:31.600 you could make

00:50:32.060 it in a

00:50:32.400 garage?

00:50:33.920 The profit

00:50:35.100 margin on

00:50:36.260 fentanyl is

00:50:37.600 so gigantic

00:50:38.560 that if

00:50:40.180 anybody could

00:50:41.100 make it in

00:50:41.600 a garage,

00:50:42.860 they'd be 1.00

00:50:43.320 fucking making 0.99

00:50:43.920 all kinds of 0.99

00:50:44.540 things like

00:50:45.540 meth?

00:50:45.820 Meth is made

00:50:48.220 in garages 0.96

00:50:48.820 because you

00:50:50.040 can.

00:50:51.760 That's why

00:50:52.320 they do it.

00:50:52.960 Because you

00:50:53.320 can.

00:50:54.840 But you don't

00:50:55.560 see fentanyl

00:50:56.160 made in

00:50:56.520 garages.

00:50:57.080 Do you know

00:50:57.320 why?

00:50:58.520 Well, it has

00:50:59.220 to be because

00:50:59.780 you can't.

00:51:01.440 It has to

00:51:02.120 be.

00:51:02.640 What other

00:51:03.100 reason would

00:51:03.520 it be?

00:51:04.040 There's no

00:51:04.560 economic reason.

00:51:06.100 There's no

00:51:06.480 legal reason,

00:51:07.440 because illegal

00:51:08.180 things are done

00:51:08.820 in garages all

00:51:09.480 the time.

00:51:10.220 But think about

00:51:10.900 it.

00:51:12.000 If it were

00:51:12.720 possible,

00:51:13.300 it'd be

00:51:13.540 happening.

00:51:14.460 Now, what I

00:51:15.120 assume is

00:51:15.700 happening is

00:51:16.880 it's too hard

00:51:17.620 to get the

00:51:18.060 precursors in

00:51:19.280 quantity to

00:51:21.140 anywhere except

00:51:21.840 a lawless

00:51:22.680 place.

00:51:23.860 At least

00:51:24.280 illegal

00:51:24.780 precursors to

00:51:25.600 a lawless

00:51:26.040 place.

00:51:26.700 So I think

00:51:27.220 it has to be

00:51:27.760 manufactured in

00:51:28.660 a lawless

00:51:29.260 place that

00:51:30.440 does not

00:51:30.960 have American

00:51:31.900 surveillance

00:51:32.640 state.

00:51:35.220 Have you

00:51:35.900 noticed there

00:51:36.580 haven't been

00:51:36.940 any major

00:51:37.540 terrorist attacks

00:51:39.380 in the United

00:51:39.880 States?

00:51:41.340 It's got to

00:51:42.220 be the

00:51:42.520 surveillance

00:51:42.920 state.

00:51:44.160 It has to

00:51:44.700 be, because

00:51:45.320 there's nothing

00:51:45.740 else.

00:51:46.540 There's no

00:51:46.920 other possible

00:51:47.660 thing it

00:51:48.040 could be.

00:51:48.980 It has to

00:51:49.700 be that we're

00:51:50.660 catching them

00:51:51.220 fast, because

00:51:52.280 we're just

00:51:52.740 catching every

00:51:53.500 communication.

00:51:55.040 Now, if AI

00:51:56.660 is monitoring

00:51:57.380 communication for

00:51:58.600 terrorist stuff,

00:51:59.960 and you know

00:52:00.600 it is, you

00:52:02.080 don't think they

00:52:02.560 could look for

00:52:03.120 fentanyl-related

00:52:04.280 vocabulary?

00:52:06.880 Of course

00:52:07.440 they could.

00:52:08.320 Now, I

00:52:08.860 don't think

00:52:09.260 that they do

00:52:09.740 that now with

00:52:10.600 meth labs.

00:52:12.660 Do you

00:52:12.940 know why?

00:52:14.560 Why wouldn't

00:52:15.240 they do it

00:52:15.660 with meth labs

00:52:16.440 and just

00:52:16.760 dealers in

00:52:17.420 general, coke

00:52:18.720 and heroin?

00:52:19.400 Do you know

00:52:19.620 why they

00:52:19.900 probably, I

00:52:20.880 don't think

00:52:21.200 they're doing

00:52:21.500 it, do you

00:52:22.020 know why

00:52:22.220 they probably

00:52:22.820 don't?

00:52:24.360 Because the

00:52:24.780 problem's not

00:52:25.360 big enough.

00:52:27.080 The problem

00:52:27.500 is not big

00:52:28.080 enough.

00:52:28.760 But the

00:52:29.160 fentanyl

00:52:29.480 problem is.

00:52:30.320 The fentanyl

00:52:30.820 problem is not

00:52:31.320 a drug

00:52:32.000 problem.

00:52:33.380 The fentanyl

00:52:33.960 problem is a

00:52:34.760 terrorist attack

00:52:35.540 from foreign

00:52:36.820 countries.

00:52:37.220 If you have

00:52:38.580 a terrorist

00:52:39.060 attack from

00:52:39.740 a foreign 0.60

00:52:40.080 country, even

00:52:41.780 if it's being

00:52:42.320 made in a

00:52:43.080 garage in

00:52:44.220 Encino, I

00:52:47.120 believe the

00:52:48.460 surveillance state

00:52:49.300 can turn on

00:52:50.340 that knob and

00:52:51.360 catch those

00:52:52.200 guys, right?

00:52:53.300 So I would

00:52:54.060 think that

00:52:54.540 fentanyl dealers,

00:52:55.740 even small ones,

00:52:56.780 would get picked

00:52:57.480 up by the

00:52:58.000 surveillance state

00:52:58.860 if they were in

00:53:00.440 this country.

00:53:01.400 I don't know.

00:53:02.500 But for some

00:53:03.500 reason, and I

00:53:04.180 might not know the

00:53:04.800 real reason, it

00:53:06.120 doesn't seem to

00:53:06.820 be something you

00:53:07.440 can make in a

00:53:08.100 garage in the

00:53:08.620 United States,

00:53:09.360 or it would be

00:53:10.080 here already.

00:53:14.280 The other myth

00:53:15.120 is that people

00:53:15.640 believe the

00:53:16.340 Portugal experience

00:53:17.720 with, I think

00:53:20.420 they legalized or

00:53:21.500 decriminalized drugs

00:53:22.500 and made it

00:53:23.160 easier to get it,

00:53:23.880 made it safer.

00:53:24.740 A lot of people

00:53:25.300 think that worked,

00:53:26.740 so therefore we

00:53:27.840 should imitate

00:53:28.540 that.

00:53:29.580 That's just an

00:53:30.280 illusion.

00:53:31.760 If that worked,

00:53:32.780 we'd already be

00:53:33.340 doing it.

00:53:33.800 So would

00:53:35.040 everybody else.

00:53:36.500 It obviously

00:53:37.380 didn't work.

00:53:38.760 If it worked,

00:53:39.780 we'd be doing

00:53:40.440 it.

00:53:41.420 So you can

00:53:42.640 find articles

00:53:43.260 that say it

00:53:43.740 worked, but

00:53:45.040 go deeper.

00:53:46.340 Just Google

00:53:47.000 debunked

00:53:48.880 Portugal drug

00:53:50.440 experience.

00:53:51.280 Just put it

00:53:51.800 in debunked,

00:53:53.220 see what pops

00:53:53.960 up, and you'll

00:53:54.420 see what I

00:53:54.780 mean.

00:53:55.180 All right.

00:53:55.840 So obviously

00:53:56.780 it didn't work

00:53:57.440 well enough to

00:53:58.080 spread, so 0.86

00:53:59.920 forget about

00:54:00.400 that one.

00:54:02.120 People believe,

00:54:03.060 here's another

00:54:03.480 illusion, people

00:54:04.260 believe that

00:54:04.760 personal

00:54:05.180 responsibility is

00:54:06.200 sort of the

00:54:06.540 beginning and

00:54:07.040 the end of

00:54:07.380 the story.

00:54:08.160 It's like, hey,

00:54:08.640 just let them 1.00

00:54:09.100 fucking die. 1.00

00:54:10.420 If druggies 1.00

00:54:11.260 want to take

00:54:11.680 drugs and 0.99

00:54:12.140 die, let 1.00

00:54:12.500 them die. 1.00

00:54:13.300 Who cares? 0.99

00:54:14.860 Now, I have

00:54:15.660 some empathy

00:54:17.200 for that point

00:54:18.000 of view.

00:54:18.320 It's not crazy.

00:54:19.800 It's not crazy.

00:54:21.440 But it ignores

00:54:22.560 the fact that if

00:54:23.260 100,000 people

00:54:24.480 are dying, you're

00:54:25.820 affecting about

00:54:26.540 a million Americans

00:54:27.920 a year.

00:54:29.320 It's really

00:54:29.980 expensive, too.

00:54:30.860 This is super

00:54:32.720 impactful on

00:54:33.780 everybody.

00:54:35.100 And if you're

00:54:36.120 not impacted

00:54:36.740 yet, it was

00:54:39.020 50,000 deaths

00:54:40.120 a few years

00:54:40.740 ago.

00:54:41.920 Now it's

00:54:42.660 100.

00:54:43.700 Is it

00:54:44.420 slowing down?

00:54:46.200 Nope.

00:54:47.100 Where do you

00:54:47.500 think it's

00:54:47.800 going to stop?

00:54:49.000 At what point

00:54:49.640 does it get your

00:54:50.280 attention that it

00:54:50.980 becomes your

00:54:51.440 problem, too?

00:54:52.840 5 million?

00:54:54.200 10 million?

00:54:56.240 I mean, we're

00:54:56.720 going to get

00:54:57.120 there.

00:54:57.400 I started

00:54:59.080 yelling at

00:54:59.640 50,000 a

00:55:00.440 year, and

00:55:02.480 it's doubled

00:55:03.000 since I

00:55:03.500 started yelling

00:55:04.080 about it.

00:55:04.840 It's not

00:55:05.260 going down, so

00:55:06.780 it's going to

00:55:07.120 get to you,

00:55:07.620 too.

00:55:10.760 People believe

00:55:11.560 that addicts

00:55:12.200 can make

00:55:12.540 different choices

00:55:13.380 if you provide

00:55:14.600 the right

00:55:14.980 support.

00:55:17.360 No, they 1.00

00:55:17.960 can't.

00:55:18.720 They can't.

00:55:19.960 Addicts can

00:55:20.460 only do what

00:55:20.920 addicts do.

00:55:22.440 They can

00:55:22.840 promise you

00:55:23.400 anything, but

00:55:24.660 all addicts

00:55:25.320 lie.

00:55:27.400 Do you

00:55:27.700 know why

00:55:28.260 I know

00:55:28.540 that all

00:55:28.960 addicts

00:55:29.560 lie?

00:55:30.940 You could

00:55:31.500 just ask

00:55:31.960 them.

00:55:32.880 Hey, addict,

00:55:34.300 do all

00:55:34.780 addicts lie?

00:55:35.540 Yeah, of

00:55:35.840 course.

00:55:36.780 Of course we

00:55:37.340 do.

00:55:38.340 The addict

00:55:38.800 will tell

00:55:39.140 you that

00:55:39.380 themselves.

00:55:39.820 They all

00:55:40.100 lie.

00:55:41.700 And they

00:55:44.560 all lie

00:55:44.920 about

00:55:45.120 some things,

00:55:46.000 right?

00:55:46.240 Not

00:55:46.480 everything.

00:55:50.120 So addicts

00:55:50.900 are only going

00:55:51.300 to do what

00:55:51.640 addicts do.

00:55:52.520 Now, here's

00:55:53.060 why you're

00:55:53.460 fooled by

00:55:53.960 that.

00:55:54.360 You think

00:55:54.720 some people

00:55:55.280 can be helped

00:55:56.120 because you've

00:55:56.740 seen it

00:55:57.020 happen,

00:55:57.260 right?

00:55:57.860 How many

00:55:58.460 of you

00:55:58.760 have seen

00:55:59.180 somebody

00:55:59.600 who used

00:55:59.960 to be

00:56:00.220 an addict,

00:56:00.960 but now

00:56:01.820 they're not?

00:56:02.460 They cleaned

00:56:02.880 up.

00:56:03.420 That exists.

00:56:04.840 So you're

00:56:05.240 saying to

00:56:05.520 yourself,

00:56:06.000 Scott, why

00:56:07.640 are you

00:56:07.820 saying that

00:56:08.240 that doesn't

00:56:08.720 work?

00:56:09.060 I know

00:56:09.380 all kinds

00:56:09.900 of people,

00:56:10.500 all kinds

00:56:11.500 of people

00:56:11.840 that got

00:56:13.060 better from

00:56:13.580 addiction.

00:56:15.180 Here's what

00:56:15.800 you're missing.

00:56:17.480 All the

00:56:18.140 people who

00:56:18.580 decided to

00:56:19.420 get better

00:56:19.820 got better.

00:56:23.000 It didn't

00:56:23.640 matter what

00:56:24.020 method they

00:56:24.540 used.

00:56:25.520 All the

00:56:25.960 people who

00:56:26.880 wanted to

00:56:27.800 do drugs

00:56:28.300 just kept

00:56:28.760 doing drugs.

00:56:30.300 What do

00:56:30.640 you think

00:56:30.960 is the

00:56:31.360 largest

00:56:31.680 population

00:56:32.500 of people

00:56:33.140 doing drugs?

00:56:34.220 The ones

00:56:34.580 who decided

00:56:35.160 to get

00:56:35.540 off it or

00:56:36.020 the ones

00:56:36.320 who think

00:56:36.720 this is

00:56:37.440 pretty fun.

00:56:37.880 I think

00:56:38.260 I'll keep

00:56:38.560 doing it.

00:56:39.520 The problem

00:56:40.140 is people

00:56:40.480 don't want

00:56:41.000 to.

00:56:42.680 The people

00:56:43.200 who decide

00:56:43.680 to, do.

00:56:45.080 Now, I'm

00:56:46.220 of course

00:56:46.540 using some

00:56:47.120 hyperbole

00:56:47.680 here for

00:56:48.080 effect.

00:56:49.680 I don't

00:56:50.420 want to

00:56:50.640 stop every

00:56:51.300 three seconds

00:56:52.560 and say,

00:56:53.400 but of course

00:56:54.180 there are

00:56:54.580 exceptions.

00:56:55.980 Of course

00:56:56.760 I'm not

00:56:57.160 talking about

00:56:57.720 everybody in

00:56:58.600 all situations.

00:57:00.360 You should

00:57:00.960 have that

00:57:01.300 little recording

00:57:02.020 running in

00:57:02.500 your head.

00:57:03.220 This doesn't

00:57:03.720 mean everybody.

00:57:05.140 I'm just

00:57:05.400 talking about

00:57:05.840 averages.

00:57:06.300 But in

00:57:08.720 general, the

00:57:10.140 people who

00:57:10.600 want to do

00:57:11.200 drugs cannot

00:57:11.800 be talked

00:57:12.400 out of it.

00:57:13.720 The people

00:57:14.120 who have

00:57:14.300 decided on

00:57:14.940 their own

00:57:15.400 for whatever

00:57:15.860 reason, and

00:57:16.740 deciding on

00:57:17.360 your own can

00:57:18.900 be influenced

00:57:19.400 by your

00:57:19.720 family, but

00:57:20.940 it's still

00:57:21.200 your decision.

00:57:22.220 Those are

00:57:22.480 the ones

00:57:22.760 who have

00:57:22.980 decided, they

00:57:24.440 do have

00:57:24.900 good results.

00:57:26.160 Often.

00:57:28.140 People say

00:57:28.800 that the

00:57:29.080 addicts who

00:57:29.540 buy fentanyl

00:57:30.180 know their

00:57:30.620 risks.

00:57:31.260 They know

00:57:31.700 what they're

00:57:31.920 getting.

00:57:32.720 They know

00:57:33.100 the risks

00:57:33.500 they're taking,

00:57:34.060 they die, 1.00

00:57:34.560 fuck them. 1.00

00:57:35.560 That's what 1.00

00:57:35.920 some people

00:57:36.320 say.

00:57:37.900 You say

00:57:38.300 that?

00:57:38.920 So Jenny

00:57:39.320 says that.

00:57:39.820 They know

00:57:40.100 the risk.

00:57:41.520 Jenny, the 0.99

00:57:42.900 people dying

00:57:43.520 are not the

00:57:44.000 people who

00:57:44.420 are taking

00:57:45.200 fentanyl

00:57:45.800 intentionally.

00:57:46.860 You know

00:57:47.160 that, right?

00:57:48.220 The people

00:57:48.620 dying are the

00:57:49.180 ones who

00:57:49.420 didn't know

00:57:49.880 they were

00:57:50.120 taking

00:57:50.360 fentanyl.

00:57:51.600 So that's

00:57:51.960 an illusion

00:57:52.540 that you

00:57:53.980 can reduce

00:57:56.260 it to,

00:57:56.900 well, they

00:57:57.120 knew the

00:57:57.440 risks.

00:57:58.160 They don't

00:57:58.560 know the

00:57:58.880 risks.

00:58:00.080 Now let me

00:58:00.780 explain what

00:58:02.020 an addict

00:58:02.560 brain is. 1.00

00:58:03.220 Hey, addict,

00:58:05.420 the risk of 1.00

00:58:06.320 you dying

00:58:06.800 from this

00:58:07.460 pill I

00:58:07.800 have in

00:58:08.100 my hand

00:58:08.640 is 50%.

00:58:10.560 There's a

00:58:11.920 50% chance

00:58:13.020 if you take

00:58:13.520 this pill

00:58:13.920 you're going 0.93

00:58:14.260 to die.

00:58:15.120 There's also

00:58:15.760 a 50%

00:58:16.660 chance you're

00:58:17.280 going to

00:58:17.340 have a

00:58:17.600 great high.

00:58:19.920 So don't

00:58:20.980 do it,

00:58:21.340 right?

00:58:22.200 Give me

00:58:22.520 that pill.

00:58:23.760 Got it.

00:58:25.200 It's an

00:58:25.620 addict.

00:58:26.440 As soon as

00:58:27.180 you make the

00:58:27.620 mistake of

00:58:28.240 thinking that

00:58:28.820 an addict

00:58:29.360 would think

00:58:29.820 the way you

00:58:30.340 would think,

00:58:30.800 you're gone.

00:58:33.300 You're lost.

00:58:34.600 Yeah, it's

00:58:34.940 Russian roulette.

00:58:36.380 You don't

00:58:37.000 know you're

00:58:37.360 getting fentanyl.

00:58:38.480 You think

00:58:38.960 you're getting

00:58:39.380 something much

00:58:40.040 safer.

00:58:40.940 You think

00:58:41.380 you're getting

00:58:41.720 Xanax, for

00:58:42.440 example, and

00:58:43.060 you're not.

00:58:44.180 You got

00:58:44.520 fentanyl.

00:58:46.320 So while

00:58:47.880 it's true

00:58:48.340 that, and

00:58:49.360 let me give

00:58:50.020 you the exact

00:58:50.920 conversation I

00:58:51.820 had with my

00:58:52.420 stepson right

00:58:53.940 before he died

00:58:54.840 of fentanyl.

00:58:57.240 Stepson, you

00:58:58.280 know that there's

00:58:58.980 fentanyl in all

00:58:59.800 the street drugs.

00:59:01.120 And you

00:59:01.440 can't tell,

00:59:01.980 right?

00:59:02.620 Yes, I do.

00:59:03.980 I would never

00:59:04.680 take a street

00:59:05.400 drug because you

00:59:06.760 don't know what's

00:59:07.340 in them.

00:59:07.760 Could be

00:59:08.180 fentanyl.

00:59:09.060 Yeah, if

00:59:09.480 there's one

00:59:09.920 thing I know

00:59:10.400 for sure, I'm

00:59:11.500 definitely not

00:59:12.060 going to take

00:59:12.440 any sketchy

00:59:14.240 drugs because

00:59:15.200 they might have

00:59:15.720 fentanyl in them.

00:59:16.400 I know the

00:59:16.840 risk.

00:59:18.940 Dead in two

00:59:19.640 weeks.

00:59:20.700 Dead in two

00:59:21.300 weeks of

00:59:21.640 fentanyl.

00:59:22.340 Do you think

00:59:22.760 he knew he

00:59:23.160 was taking

00:59:23.500 fentanyl?

00:59:24.740 Nope.

00:59:25.800 Because I

00:59:26.420 don't think he

00:59:26.940 would have

00:59:27.200 intentionally taken

00:59:28.160 fentanyl.

00:59:29.060 It was probably

00:59:29.960 just in

00:59:30.460 something else

00:59:30.960 he had.

00:59:33.140 And so

00:59:33.860 decisions, all

00:59:35.000 that stuff, none

00:59:35.560 of the thinking,

00:59:37.060 deciding, none

00:59:37.740 of that applies to

00:59:38.480 addicts.

00:59:40.020 He was an 0.96

00:59:40.820 addict. 0.91

00:59:41.140 Yes, he's dead 0.97

00:59:41.720 now.

00:59:44.640 He was very

00:59:45.280 much an

00:59:45.640 addict.

00:59:48.600 And you may

00:59:50.360 have noticed I

00:59:51.440 have resources.

00:59:51.960 so we did

00:59:53.340 everything, like

00:59:54.560 every rehab,

00:59:55.680 everything, just

00:59:57.220 everything.

00:59:57.940 None of it made

00:59:58.600 any difference.

01:00:02.280 I talked about

01:00:03.140 the border wall,

01:00:03.980 then number

01:00:04.460 eight, people

01:00:06.440 believe the U.S.

01:00:07.440 government when

01:00:08.080 they tell us how

01:00:08.880 successful they are

01:00:09.960 at catching

01:00:10.380 fentanyl.

01:00:11.820 Why would you

01:00:12.640 believe the

01:00:13.200 government is

01:00:15.420 catching more

01:00:16.040 fentanyl and

01:00:16.700 they're doing a

01:00:17.180 good job?

01:00:17.520 Why would you

01:00:17.900 believe anything

01:00:18.380 about the

01:00:18.960 government?

01:00:19.280 You know, I

01:00:21.380 talked about it.

01:00:21.900 If they don't

01:00:22.220 tell you the

01:00:22.620 percentage, they're

01:00:23.320 lying to you.

01:00:25.200 All right.

01:00:27.100 People believe the

01:00:28.080 government of

01:00:28.720 Mexico should step 0.61

01:00:29.740 up, and it

01:00:30.180 should be, we

01:00:31.100 should pressure

01:00:31.600 the government of

01:00:32.380 Mexico to handle 0.95

01:00:33.480 those cartels.

01:00:37.580 I had to break

01:00:38.620 it to you.

01:00:40.360 I hope I'm not

01:00:41.260 the first one to

01:00:42.060 tell you this,

01:00:43.360 about the

01:00:44.100 government of

01:00:45.020 Mexico.

01:00:46.960 It is the

01:00:47.800 cartel.

01:00:49.280 Am I the

01:00:51.080 first one to

01:00:51.620 tell you that?

01:00:53.480 Hadn't heard

01:00:53.980 that?

01:00:55.480 Nope.

01:00:56.700 No, the

01:00:57.020 government of

01:00:57.480 Mexico is 0.51

01:00:58.500 controlled by

01:00:59.340 the cartel.

01:01:00.260 They don't

01:01:00.540 have any

01:01:00.840 control over

01:01:01.260 the cartel.

01:01:02.220 The border is

01:01:03.220 controlled by

01:01:03.640 the cartel.

01:01:05.000 The government

01:01:05.440 of Mexico

01:01:05.920 doesn't even,

01:01:06.840 they don't even

01:01:08.020 police their

01:01:08.460 own border.

01:01:09.860 The cartel

01:01:10.420 does.

01:01:12.160 If you didn't

01:01:12.900 know that,

01:01:13.440 you're really

01:01:13.840 confused about

01:01:14.540 fentanyl.

01:01:17.100 People say we

01:01:17.940 don't want to

01:01:18.360 start a war.

01:01:19.280 You know,

01:01:19.860 with Mexico

01:01:20.420 or China

01:01:21.740 especially.

01:01:22.960 We don't

01:01:23.640 want to

01:01:23.920 start a war.

01:01:25.640 That is an

01:01:26.480 illusion.

01:01:27.780 That's an

01:01:28.200 illusion.

01:01:29.300 We're in a

01:01:30.000 war.

01:01:30.920 Our only

01:01:31.600 choice is to

01:01:32.380 fight back

01:01:32.860 or not.

01:01:34.680 That's our

01:01:35.260 only choice.

01:01:36.480 We're not

01:01:37.080 deciding to be

01:01:37.900 in a war or

01:01:38.480 not in a

01:01:39.000 war.

01:01:39.840 We're in a

01:01:40.420 war.

01:01:41.280 We can only

01:01:42.000 win or lose

01:01:42.660 or decide to

01:01:44.100 try.

01:01:44.980 But we can't

01:01:45.700 decide not to

01:01:46.440 be in a war.

01:01:47.800 Who gave you

01:01:48.440 that decision.

01:01:49.880 That's purely

01:01:50.640 imaginary.

01:01:51.360 You don't have

01:01:51.700 any war not

01:01:52.900 war decision

01:01:53.520 when it comes

01:01:53.980 to fentanyl.

01:01:58.420 People believe

01:01:59.200 that legalizing

01:02:00.080 relatively safer

01:02:01.260 drugs would

01:02:03.780 reduce the

01:02:04.460 number of

01:02:05.160 overdoses.

01:02:08.640 Because if the

01:02:09.520 problem is you

01:02:10.020 don't know what

01:02:10.460 you're taking,

01:02:11.780 it wouldn't be

01:02:12.380 great if you

01:02:12.840 did.

01:02:13.120 and then you

01:02:14.360 get some

01:02:14.660 legal drugs.

01:02:19.540 But here's

01:02:21.460 the problem.

01:02:23.340 You could test

01:02:24.400 that in one

01:02:25.080 zip code easily,

01:02:26.020 couldn't you?

01:02:27.140 Just take one

01:02:28.060 zip code and

01:02:28.840 say, all right,

01:02:30.180 if giving

01:02:31.100 everybody free

01:02:32.600 oxycontin or

01:02:34.780 whatever the 0.94

01:02:35.180 fuck it would 0.99

01:02:35.560 be, we'll try 1.00

01:02:37.360 it.

01:02:38.660 It's never

01:02:39.280 going to

01:02:39.500 happen.

01:02:39.760 San Francisco

01:02:42.520 did this crazy

01:02:45.020 needle injection

01:02:47.780 site thing,

01:02:49.440 and that turned

01:02:50.200 out to be a

01:02:50.820 complete cluster 1.00

01:02:51.800 fuck. 1.00

01:02:52.980 But don't you 1.00

01:02:55.400 think that it's

01:02:56.260 possible you

01:02:57.160 could test

01:02:58.100 variations on

01:02:59.280 that theme?

01:03:00.660 Now they did

01:03:01.340 needle injections

01:03:02.220 and everything

01:03:02.700 else.

01:03:03.400 Suppose you

01:03:04.620 just took one

01:03:05.240 zip code and

01:03:06.080 said, anybody

01:03:07.740 here who wants

01:03:08.620 an opioid,

01:03:09.760 in pill

01:03:10.440 form, come

01:03:11.900 get a

01:03:12.380 government

01:03:12.780 opioid pill,

01:03:14.660 and at least

01:03:15.660 you'll know

01:03:16.060 that that

01:03:16.460 won't kill

01:03:16.940 you, and

01:03:17.440 you'll get a

01:03:17.880 pretty good

01:03:18.220 high.

01:03:19.740 Would the

01:03:20.240 addicts take

01:03:21.140 the government

01:03:21.680 pill?

01:03:23.120 What do you

01:03:23.780 think?

01:03:24.680 Would addicts

01:03:25.880 agree to take

01:03:28.080 the government

01:03:28.680 pill to stay

01:03:29.640 safe?

01:03:33.120 What if they

01:03:33.840 had to give

01:03:34.200 their name?

01:03:34.600 What if they

01:03:34.720 had to give

01:03:36.000 their name?

01:03:36.700 I think

01:03:39.980 people would

01:03:40.440 go get

01:03:40.740 free ones

01:03:41.200 and then

01:03:41.500 sell them.

01:03:44.700 Although

01:03:45.180 that wouldn't

01:03:45.660 make things

01:03:46.100 worse.

01:03:47.880 Yeah.

01:03:48.780 So here's

01:03:49.520 the thing.

01:03:49.920 This might

01:03:50.260 work.

01:03:51.520 This might

01:03:51.980 work.

01:03:52.900 But I don't

01:03:53.600 know if there

01:03:54.020 would be

01:03:54.520 unintended

01:03:55.420 consequences.

01:03:57.000 And I don't

01:03:57.480 know if it

01:03:58.000 helps the way

01:03:59.740 you hope it

01:04:00.240 would.

01:04:00.440 It might keep

01:04:01.620 people in

01:04:02.260 permanent

01:04:02.620 zombie form.

01:04:04.900 Do we want

01:04:05.780 that as

01:04:06.260 opposed to

01:04:06.760 dead?

01:04:07.780 Do you feel

01:04:08.580 better if

01:04:09.400 your child

01:04:11.200 became an

01:04:12.140 addict and

01:04:12.780 was just a 0.85

01:04:13.420 zombie for

01:04:14.160 30 years

01:04:14.960 versus dying

01:04:16.680 in the first

01:04:17.220 year?

01:04:18.020 Are you

01:04:18.360 happy if

01:04:18.840 they're a

01:04:19.160 zombie for

01:04:19.640 30 years?

01:04:20.980 Does that

01:04:21.480 make you

01:04:21.780 happy?

01:04:22.400 Because now

01:04:23.000 you solved

01:04:23.420 the fentanyl

01:04:23.980 problem,

01:04:24.380 they didn't

01:04:24.660 have an

01:04:24.940 overdose,

01:04:25.820 but they're

01:04:26.420 an addict

01:04:27.140 for 30

01:04:28.160 years.

01:04:29.380 I don't

01:04:29.700 know.

01:04:29.840 I'm not

01:04:30.780 so sure

01:04:31.360 that death

01:04:31.880 is any

01:04:33.180 worse than

01:04:33.540 that.

01:04:36.860 If free

01:04:37.500 will is an

01:04:38.000 illusion,

01:04:38.400 how do you

01:04:38.720 decide?

01:04:40.160 You don't.

01:04:41.820 You do

01:04:42.240 what you

01:04:42.540 do, and

01:04:43.840 then later

01:04:44.280 you said,

01:04:44.720 I decided.

01:04:45.680 That's how

01:04:46.040 brains work.

01:04:47.100 Brains

01:04:47.400 rationalize

01:04:48.080 after decisions.

01:04:49.520 If you don't

01:04:50.200 realize that,

01:04:50.780 everything's

01:04:51.220 confusing.

01:04:52.440 Once you

01:04:52.840 realize that

01:04:53.360 your brain

01:04:53.880 comes up

01:04:54.720 with your

01:04:55.180 explanation

01:04:55.720 after you

01:04:56.240 decide,

01:04:57.260 for important

01:04:58.100 stuff,

01:04:58.560 not for

01:04:58.860 little stuff,

01:04:59.840 then everything

01:05:00.940 makes sense

01:05:01.460 again.

01:05:02.360 If you

01:05:02.760 want a

01:05:03.020 world where

01:05:03.420 everything

01:05:03.700 makes sense,

01:05:04.960 be compatible

01:05:05.900 with science.

01:05:07.000 Science

01:05:07.280 confirms.

01:05:08.660 The rational

01:05:09.640 part of the

01:05:10.020 brain doesn't 0.65

01:05:10.480 even activate

01:05:11.220 until after

01:05:13.280 the decision.

01:05:14.480 We know

01:05:14.960 that for

01:05:15.280 sure.

01:05:19.700 All

01:05:19.940 right.

01:05:21.780 Methadone,

01:05:22.620 somebody

01:05:22.940 says.

01:05:23.220 Narcan

01:05:32.320 encourages more

01:05:33.320 use.

01:05:34.520 I can see

01:05:35.240 that.

01:05:36.580 I can see

01:05:37.100 that.

01:05:38.100 I've heard

01:05:38.680 that the

01:05:39.120 Pfizer

01:05:40.080 antiviral

01:05:41.740 might make

01:05:43.580 it easier

01:05:44.140 for you to

01:05:44.640 catch

01:05:45.020 COVID

01:05:45.820 if you've

01:05:47.100 had the

01:05:47.480 antiviral.

01:05:48.760 There's some

01:05:49.360 speculation on

01:05:50.140 that.

01:05:50.280 I think

01:05:50.540 the data

01:05:50.940 is lacking,

01:05:52.460 but there's

01:05:53.220 some anecdotal

01:05:53.880 reports of

01:05:54.520 people who

01:05:55.180 took the

01:05:56.900 antiviral

01:05:58.020 did not

01:05:59.140 build up

01:05:59.580 enough

01:05:59.840 immunity.

01:06:01.380 Now,

01:06:01.540 I did see,

01:06:02.240 and of course,

01:06:02.800 all data on

01:06:03.800 pandemic stuff

01:06:04.780 is hard to

01:06:06.240 believe,

01:06:07.020 but I did

01:06:07.580 see some

01:06:08.080 statistics

01:06:09.180 suggesting that

01:06:10.420 even if you

01:06:11.560 got the

01:06:11.900 mild Omicron

01:06:13.020 version,

01:06:14.900 and you got

01:06:15.460 it without

01:06:15.880 any therapeutics,

01:06:17.700 which is my

01:06:18.480 case,

01:06:19.600 in theory,

01:06:20.680 I have

01:06:20.980 almost complete

01:06:22.620 immunization for

01:06:23.800 a long time.

01:06:26.960 Did anybody

01:06:27.660 see that story?

01:06:28.680 I think there

01:06:29.040 was a study

01:06:29.600 that said

01:06:29.960 that.

01:06:30.860 So I feel

01:06:33.000 like it's

01:06:34.420 possible I

01:06:35.240 played it

01:06:35.920 just right,

01:06:38.020 by accident.

01:06:38.900 It's not like

01:06:39.360 I was smart

01:06:39.900 or anything.

01:06:40.220 But I

01:06:45.060 think I

01:06:45.480 reduced my

01:06:46.240 chance of

01:06:47.000 serious

01:06:48.120 long-term

01:06:48.900 COVID and

01:06:49.780 death a

01:06:51.040 little bit,

01:06:51.720 getting the

01:06:52.380 initial

01:06:52.740 vaccinations,

01:06:53.620 but that

01:06:53.820 was mostly

01:06:54.240 to travel,

01:06:56.120 and that I

01:06:57.800 didn't get

01:06:58.140 any boosters

01:06:58.560 after that,

01:07:00.020 so that when

01:07:00.520 I got the

01:07:01.120 full Omicron,

01:07:02.980 by the time

01:07:03.540 I got Omicron,

01:07:04.420 I didn't have

01:07:04.920 any vaccination

01:07:05.620 left in me,

01:07:06.740 in terms of

01:07:07.880 protection.

01:07:08.780 So I got

01:07:10.260 the full

01:07:10.780 Omicron and

01:07:11.460 it kicked my 1.00

01:07:11.980 ass. 1.00

01:07:13.360 But if I 0.89

01:07:14.800 recover from

01:07:15.440 it, and I'm

01:07:16.240 not sure I

01:07:16.620 have, actually,

01:07:17.400 I think there

01:07:17.800 might be some

01:07:18.260 long COVID

01:07:18.880 still there,

01:07:20.020 I'm not sure,

01:07:21.580 I should have

01:07:22.380 the best

01:07:23.040 immunity for

01:07:24.200 a while.

01:07:29.740 Yes,

01:07:30.880 my,

01:07:33.100 I have some

01:07:33.780 kind of muscle

01:07:34.700 problem in my

01:07:35.400 legs, but

01:07:36.020 today it was

01:07:37.120 better.

01:07:37.340 you're

01:07:38.540 rationalizing

01:07:39.180 after the

01:07:39.680 decision.

01:07:41.400 Well, except

01:07:42.200 that I told

01:07:42.940 you my

01:07:43.280 decision before

01:07:43.940 I made it.

01:07:45.580 So, rationalizing

01:07:46.640 after the

01:07:46.980 decision in

01:07:47.420 this case, I

01:07:47.880 don't think

01:07:48.220 makes as much

01:07:48.900 sense, because

01:07:49.920 everybody admits

01:07:50.740 they were

01:07:51.080 guessing.

01:07:52.800 If you

01:07:53.420 guess, and

01:07:54.480 then you

01:07:54.780 guess right,

01:07:55.720 that's just

01:07:56.260 lucky.

01:07:57.600 So what I'm

01:07:58.120 suggesting is

01:07:58.840 not that I

01:07:59.280 was smart.

01:08:00.180 I'm not saying

01:08:00.820 that.

01:08:01.600 I'm saying I

01:08:02.280 may have

01:08:02.780 guessed just

01:08:03.740 right, but

01:08:05.180 not, I'm not

01:08:06.440 claiming that

01:08:07.000 was based

01:08:07.400 on my

01:08:07.800 superior

01:08:08.300 knowledge or

01:08:09.000 reason.

01:08:09.600 It may

01:08:09.900 have just

01:08:10.180 been an

01:08:10.500 accident.

01:08:11.700 And to

01:08:13.160 your point,

01:08:14.380 had I

01:08:14.800 gotten a

01:08:15.220 blood clot

01:08:15.940 from the

01:08:18.080 first vaccinations,

01:08:19.540 then I would

01:08:19.960 say I

01:08:20.280 guessed wrong,

01:08:21.920 when it

01:08:22.480 would have

01:08:22.740 nothing to

01:08:23.180 do with my

01:08:23.600 reasoning

01:08:23.980 ability,

01:08:24.600 right?

01:08:25.340 Wouldn't

01:08:25.580 you agree?

01:08:26.880 That if it

01:08:27.440 had gone the

01:08:27.860 other way,

01:08:28.400 I'd say I

01:08:28.920 guessed wrong.

01:08:29.520 I wouldn't

01:08:29.900 say I was

01:08:30.880 really smart,

01:08:31.520 but I

01:08:31.800 got bad

01:08:32.580 luck.

01:08:36.400 Many people

01:08:37.180 did not

01:08:37.640 guess.

01:08:38.240 I'm sorry.

01:08:39.980 The worst

01:08:42.180 take is

01:08:43.720 that some

01:08:44.120 of you

01:08:44.460 knew.

01:08:45.800 That's the

01:08:46.260 worst take

01:08:46.800 in the

01:08:47.060 pandemic.

01:08:48.480 You've

01:08:48.940 watched a

01:08:49.360 world in

01:08:49.760 which there

01:08:50.080 isn't a

01:08:50.440 single thing

01:08:51.140 that's

01:08:51.560 credible.

01:08:52.680 There's

01:08:52.880 not any

01:08:53.440 data.

01:08:54.420 There's

01:08:54.680 not any

01:08:55.260 data.

01:08:58.980 There's

01:08:59.440 no data

01:08:59.960 whatsoever

01:09:00.420 that's

01:09:00.780 credible

01:09:01.140 in the

01:09:01.480 pandemic,

01:09:02.020 especially

01:09:02.300 in the

01:09:02.620 fog of 0.95

01:09:03.000 war.

01:09:03.680 There's

01:09:04.000 still

01:09:04.240 people

01:09:04.660 who

01:09:05.460 will

01:09:05.660 look

01:09:05.860 you

01:09:06.000 in

01:09:06.120 the

01:09:06.220 eye

01:09:06.340 and

01:09:06.480 say,

01:09:06.780 I

01:09:06.900 knew.

01:09:08.200 No,

01:09:08.480 you

01:09:08.560 didn't.

01:09:10.400 Nobody

01:09:10.840 knew.

01:09:11.700 It wasn't

01:09:12.120 knowable.

01:09:13.220 You may

01:09:13.660 have guessed

01:09:14.100 right,

01:09:14.540 too.

01:09:15.760 And if

01:09:16.160 you guessed

01:09:16.580 right,

01:09:16.840 I give

01:09:17.080 you credit.

01:09:18.300 But you

01:09:18.760 guessed.

01:09:19.780 You

01:09:19.980 guessed.

01:09:22.620 New

01:09:23.060 Alzheimer

01:09:23.540 COVID

01:09:23.960 study.

01:09:24.560 Is that

01:09:24.800 the one

01:09:25.000 that said

01:09:25.240 it makes

01:09:25.540 it worse?

01:09:27.660 Is there

01:09:28.240 a study

01:09:28.580 that says

01:09:29.160 COVID

01:09:30.660 made your

01:09:31.220 Alzheimer's

01:09:31.720 worse?

01:09:33.420 I'd like

01:09:34.040 to think

01:09:34.320 it fixed

01:09:34.720 it.

01:09:38.420 Start

01:09:38.900 eating

01:09:39.200 meat

01:09:39.500 now.

01:09:40.740 I don't

01:09:41.320 think that's

01:09:41.760 the answer.

01:09:42.680 Because I do

01:09:43.180 eat fish,

01:09:43.820 so it's not

01:09:44.440 like I'm not

01:09:44.900 getting protein.

01:09:46.960 All right.

01:09:47.880 Makes it

01:09:48.300 worse?

01:09:48.740 Yeah,

01:09:48.940 probably makes

01:09:49.400 it worse.

01:09:52.280 All right,

01:09:52.800 that's all for

01:09:53.240 now.

01:09:54.500 I'm sure I

01:09:54.920 drove everybody

01:09:55.620 away with that

01:09:56.160 last conversation,

01:09:57.100 but did

01:09:58.840 you see

01:09:59.060 that Alan

01:09:59.500 Schiff

01:09:59.840 is doing

01:10:00.440 a make

01:10:01.280 you think

01:10:01.600 past the

01:10:02.080 sale on

01:10:03.200 the January

01:10:03.740 6th stuff?

01:10:05.520 So Adam

01:10:06.820 Schiff

01:10:07.120 says that

01:10:08.600 any decision

01:10:09.480 to turn

01:10:12.560 over the

01:10:13.380 January 6th

01:10:14.320 stuff to

01:10:14.940 prosecution

01:10:15.760 should be

01:10:17.060 made

01:10:17.440 unanimously

01:10:19.040 by the

01:10:19.660 January 6th

01:10:20.480 group.

01:10:21.680 So any

01:10:22.220 recommendation

01:10:22.940 to the

01:10:23.960 Department of

01:10:24.540 Justice

01:10:24.920 should be

01:10:25.980 unanimous.

01:10:26.560 Now,

01:10:27.480 of course,

01:10:27.880 it would

01:10:28.140 be unanimous

01:10:29.740 because they're

01:10:30.120 all on the

01:10:30.420 same side.

01:10:31.920 But do you

01:10:32.820 see how that's

01:10:33.660 making you

01:10:34.080 think past

01:10:34.560 the sale?

01:10:35.760 Do you see

01:10:36.100 how clever

01:10:36.540 that is?

01:10:37.840 He's making

01:10:38.620 you wonder

01:10:39.180 if it would

01:10:39.700 be unanimous,

01:10:41.140 which makes

01:10:42.660 you think

01:10:43.240 that it

01:10:44.860 must exist,

01:10:46.040 which is not

01:10:47.200 demonstrated at

01:10:48.000 all.

01:10:49.880 I've not seen

01:10:50.740 anything that

01:10:51.320 looks like it's

01:10:51.940 even close to

01:10:52.520 a crime for

01:10:53.120 Trump.

01:10:54.620 So Schiff

01:10:55.440 is telling

01:10:55.820 you to

01:10:56.160 think about

01:10:56.820 whether it

01:10:57.720 would be

01:10:58.060 unanimous

01:10:58.980 instead of

01:11:00.600 thinking about

01:11:01.100 whether it

01:11:01.540 exists.

01:11:03.180 That's a good

01:11:03.640 technique.

01:11:04.820 Schiff is

01:11:05.240 shifty.

01:11:06.520 All right,

01:11:06.980 that's enough

01:11:07.380 for now.

01:11:08.360 I'll talk to

01:11:09.080 you tomorrow.

01:11:10.280 tomorrow.

01:11:10.660 I'll talk to you

01:11:11.240 tomorrow.

01:11:11.480 I'll talk to you

01:11:21.720 tomorrow.

01:11:23.060 I'll talk to you

01:11:23.760 tomorrow.
