Summary
Florida is the most capable and competent state in the country in the wake of the devastating storm that devastated the area, and it s not because of Ron DeSantis. It s because of the actions of the governor, Rick Scott, and his team in responding to the massive storm that ravaged the area.

00:00:00.000
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to what many will consider the finest day of all the
00:00:10.580
days that have ever happened. Today is awesome. Not for any particular reason, but we're going
00:00:18.100
to take it up a notch anyway, and all you need to do that is the right tools. All you need is
00:00:24.500
a cuppa mug or a glass, a tanker gel, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill
00:00:31.220
it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure
00:00:36.520
that doped me to the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous
00:00:44.480
All right. And if you didn't know, the official Coffee with Scott Adams mug, that's not this
00:00:55.680
one, but it's going to be cooler than this one, is available for pre-order. See my Twitter
00:01:02.680
feed at the top, my pinned post, and you can get yours too. Yes. Yeah. You can get a mug.
00:01:11.580
It's true. All right. Well, good job, Florida. Am I right? So DeSantis continues to show competence
00:01:23.820
in all realms. It's kind of impressive, I got to admit. And I feel like I'd say the same
00:01:30.120
thing if he were a Democrat. I feel like I would. I mean, he would have different policies.
00:01:35.640
But there's something that's just simply capable about him that is jumping off the page. Now,
00:01:44.720
some of it is because it's pure politics and he's doing things that look good. But it also
00:01:53.320
seems like he's not making errors. Am I right? So we're looking at the things he's doing in
00:01:59.300
the positive sense. But I don't, I can't think of like a giant error he's made, which is also
00:02:04.940
notable, given how much scrutiny he's under. So Florida looks like maybe they mounted the
00:02:10.660
most capable and competent disaster response of all time. Oh yeah, he's military, somebody
00:02:18.880
said. Yeah, that might make a difference. You're right. Because when you think military,
00:02:23.300
you think logistics. And this was a logistics success so far. Now, Florida's got a lot of
00:02:30.840
recovery, but it's the most capable place around. So there we go. And as I tweeted yesterday,
00:02:40.680
and I'm sure I know I wasn't the first person to tweet this, but did you notice that yesterday
00:02:47.420
there weren't any Democrats or Republicans in Florida? I mean, there were plenty of Democrats
00:02:52.820
and Republicans talking about Florida, you know, sitting outside of Florida. But the people
00:03:00.160
who were up to their knees in water, they were not Democrats or Republicans. They were just
00:03:07.000
Floridians, just people, just citizens. And there are a lot of photos of people being
00:03:16.280
let's say pulled down of danger and taken to safety. And do you know what a lot of those
00:03:25.040
pictures had in common? You couldn't really tell for sure just by looking at a picture.
00:03:32.820
But let me just say this. The Republicans didn't stay home. I mean, they were out pulling
00:03:40.660
people out of cars. And the Democrats too, of course. I'm not showing favorites. I'm just
00:03:49.160
saying that maybe this is one of those times where you can just look at the good stuff and
00:03:59.360
Thomas Massey had a wonderful moment in Congress here. He was talking to the CEO of Amtrak.
00:04:05.520
Amtrak. And Amtrak still has a COVID vaccination mandate for its employees.
00:04:13.200
And Thomas Massey said, would they qualify if they got their two vaccinations 20 months ago?
00:04:22.200
And the CEO said, yes, that would qualify. That would be vaccinated.
00:04:26.560
And then Thomas Massey walked through the CDC's scientific data or opinion, I guess, that
00:04:37.780
basically there would be no point in having the vaccination that's 20 months old.
00:04:43.360
Because the current variants plus the fact that the vaccination wears off takes it down
00:04:48.500
to basically zero effectiveness for all practical purposes.
00:04:51.580
And the CEO, the CEO, when presented with what you're doing doesn't make any sense according
00:04:59.500
to the government of the United States and the most, the most, at least on paper, the
00:05:06.000
most qualified to answer the question. And the CEO, bless his heart, instead of doing what
00:05:13.680
he should have done, do you know what he should have done? At the very moment he got called out
00:05:17.520
and he was just dead. I mean, I mean, I mean, because Massey's actually reading the CDC's
00:05:22.360
guidelines. He says after eight months, you're down to less than 20% effectiveness.
00:05:28.800
You know, where do you think you are at 20 months? At 20 months. It's ridiculous to have
00:05:35.460
a mandate for a vaccination. But the CEO, instead of instead of doing what he should have done,
00:05:41.040
here's what he should have done. There was only one way out and he didn't take it. Here's what
00:05:47.520
he should have done. You know, I think you make a good point. And I'm going to look at that as soon
00:05:52.580
as I get back. If he had done that, hero. I mean, he could have walked out of there completely
00:06:00.980
unscathed. Yeah, you make a good point. Let me, I'll take a look at that. Because we would love to get
00:06:07.140
rid of the mandates as soon as possible. Love to get rid of the mandates, but only when it's
00:06:11.520
scientifically solid. And what you're saying makes sense to me, but I haven't looked into it at that
00:06:17.800
detail. Let me look into that. And if a change is necessary, we'll make a change. Now, imagine if
00:06:24.420
the CEO had said that. You would even accept that he had been wrong up to that point, wouldn't you?
00:06:30.100
You would completely forgive that CEO for having been wrong up to that very moment. The very moment
00:06:37.320
that said, you know, that's a good point. I'll look into that. And if that makes sense, we'll make that
00:06:41.220
change right away. You would completely forgive it. But instead, the CEO went with generics. He went
00:06:50.060
with, well, we really care about our people and we want to do everything we can. Then Massey would point
00:06:56.180
out, but this wouldn't make any difference. It's just basically annoying your employees with no
00:07:02.440
benefit whatsoever. Well, you know, but the important thing is we've done a good job. We like
00:07:07.520
to protect people. And Massey's like, this has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. Like these
00:07:14.160
generic statements about awesomeness don't really get to the question.
00:07:18.360
What do you make of Jordan Peterson's critics? And I think critic is too strong a word for most of
00:07:29.760
them. I guess there are two kinds. So Jordan Peterson has some critics who are actually smart
00:07:38.100
people who have good opinions and just have some philosophical differences. But mostly it's just
00:07:46.080
people who want to tear him down. Have you noticed that? It doesn't, yeah, it seems entirely based on
00:07:54.560
jealousy or the need to hurt anybody who succeeded. Because I, you know, I feel like I get that. I feel
00:08:01.820
like anybody who's in the public eye gets the, I want to hurt you because you're successful. That's it.
00:08:08.600
And I so wonder what it would be like to talk to somebody in person because you only see these
00:08:16.880
people on Twitter. People don't act the same in person exactly. But I'd love, I'd love to just have
00:08:22.480
a conversation and say, how did Jordan Peterson hurt you? How are you damaged by the fact that Jordan
00:08:30.580
Peterson has millions and millions of fans and that he says things that people find value in?
00:08:36.500
How does that hurt you? Like, why are people so butthurt about somebody they don't know who's doing a
00:08:44.820
valuable service to other people they don't know? It has nothing to do with them because they're
00:08:49.640
completely unrelated to it in any way. Anyway, so that's sort of the worst of humanity. But I feel
00:08:57.360
like calling them critics when what they're doing has nothing to do with criticism, does it? And haters is
00:09:05.700
too simplistic. I think that you need some kind of new word for somebody who's just angry at your
00:09:11.580
success. And I'm thinking dingleberries. Because you can't take them seriously, right? Just dingleberries.
00:09:22.020
They're just dingleberries. But what about that thing they said? Who cares?
00:09:27.280
What? I'm not going to answer a dingleberry. If your dingleberries could talk, would you have a
00:09:35.840
conversation with them? Even if they could talk? No. No, you would not. So, well, I'm just going to call
00:09:43.680
them dingleberries. Speaking of dingleberries, here's news from my mascot, Keith Olbermann. Now,
00:09:50.740
as you know, I convert all the people who are my dingleberries into mascots. If they become notable
00:09:57.620
enough, they get promoted to mascot. So Keith Olbermann has come after me enough times that he's
00:10:02.740
promoted to mascot. And I learned in a tweet of his, he was complaining about Kirsten, Kirsten Sinema.
00:10:09.780
And in his complaint about her, he mentioned that he dated her. So Keith Olbermann actually dated
00:10:19.540
Kirsten Sinema back in, I don't know, a while ago. And immediately I wondered, was that, did he date her
00:10:28.120
before or after she became bisexual? Because she's the first person in Congress who's openly bisexual,
00:10:34.500
right? And I thought, I'll bet she was totally into men until she dated Keith Olbermann.
00:10:41.700
And then when she was done, she was like, I'm not completely done with men, but
00:10:46.740
I think I could give women a try for a while. Just see what that's all about. Because whatever this
1.00
00:10:55.100
was, it didn't work out. So you try some of that other stuff for a little while. I can see it.
00:11:00.860
I can see it. I once dated somebody when I was young who, well, never mind. You don't care about
00:11:11.460
that story. So Trevor Noah decided he's going to leave The Daily Show. And I think he decided to
00:11:19.660
leave The Daily Show before the ratings went to completely zero. So I guess under Jon Stewart,
00:11:26.320
the Daily Show ratings were like 1.5 million per show. And Trevor Noah was down into the
00:11:32.740
300,000s. So he lost 80% of Jon Stewart's audience. 80%. And now he's leaving after his seven successful
00:11:44.960
years of reducing the show by 80%. So there's that. But I saw a tweet that noted that James Corden has
00:11:58.500
also quit his late night show. Samantha Bee, she's out. And Brian Williams is out. And Don Lemon's moved
00:12:06.340
on. And now Noah, Trevor Noah is moving on. And it all coincides with, coincidentally, the rise of
00:12:16.180
Gottfeld. So Gottfeld, exclamation, hit that time slot, became the number one show in the time slot,
00:12:25.980
and then basically just took out all the low performers. So basically, he just wiped out the whole swath
00:12:34.280
of the low, low-hanging fruit there. Yeah, so quite a powerhouse, exactly, quite a powerhouse.
00:12:43.460
I had this conversation with a Democrat on Twitter, who said that, who believes that conservatives
00:12:53.320
dominate the media? And the argument was that the number one entities are conservative. You know,
00:13:03.240
Fox News, number one entity. And any conservative can get on TV and have a giant audience. Yeah,
00:13:10.940
Gottfeld, number one show. And I have these conversations with people who can't do math,
00:13:17.660
and you can't win a conversation with somebody who can't do math. And I'm trying to explain. All right,
00:13:23.480
right. You understand, have you ever heard the word plurality compared to majority? You know,
00:13:31.980
do you understand this concept? That you could be the biggest one and still way less than half.
00:13:38.800
You get that if there are a lot of people in the field, the biggest one could have 20%.
00:13:43.000
You know, Trump had 13% support when he was in the primaries in the beginning. 13%. But that was more
00:13:51.360
than the other people had. So that was enough. So yeah, I can't even believe I have that argument.
00:13:58.800
It was like, and it didn't end in one or two tweets. It just kept going. And I kept thinking,
00:14:04.540
I don't know, I feel like I've made this point. My worst prediction I've ever made, and I've had
00:14:15.040
some real clunkers. I mean, won't you agree? I've had some bad, bad predictions. But here's the worst
00:14:21.120
one. Can't believe it. Before the election, this last election, I actually said, predicted,
00:14:28.960
if Biden gets elected, there's a good chance you'll be dead in a year. It took two years. So I missed it
00:14:37.540
by 100%. So I basically said, there's a good chance to be dead in one year. But it took two years to get
00:14:45.720
the point where crime is out of control. We're talking about mass starvation, excess mortality that
00:14:51.280
we don't understand. And maybe nuclear Armageddon. Maybe nuclear Armageddon. But I'm going to say
00:14:58.860
that's my worst prediction, because I missed it by a year. Like I said, in a year. But it's been two
00:15:06.800
years. And now, that's 100% miss. So I apologize for being so off on that crazy, crazy prediction.
00:15:14.120
So I asked on Twitter for people to tell me my best and worst predictions. And what I noted is that
00:15:21.840
people don't remember either my best or worst predictions. Apparently, you don't spend all of
00:15:28.500
your time memorizing what I do. But people remember maybe one or two of them. So the people who remember
00:15:37.960
the ones that were wrong believe I'm always wrong. And the people who remember the, you know, two that
00:15:44.640
I got right, but don't remember anything else, they believe that I'm right all the time, or most of the
00:15:51.940
time. Now, it's amazing how quickly people can form opinions. If I said, make a total list of all the
00:15:58.920
things I predicted and how I did, most of you could not do more than five items. Would I be right?
00:16:06.800
If I said, tell me all the things I've predicted, and then tell me if I got them right or wrong,
00:16:12.480
probably about five items, wouldn't you say? About five. Would you like to hear a list of the actual
00:16:20.640
correct predictions? Or would that be too self-referential? Because I know too much about
00:16:27.660
myself is not what you came here to hear. All right, I'm going to just read them fast, okay?
00:16:33.500
I'll just do it fast. I predicted Trump would win in 2015, before just about anybody. I predicted
00:16:42.480
that Trump would not change just politics, but he would change reality itself. The most awesome,
00:16:48.680
the most awesome prediction anyone ever made that was correct, that he would change reality.
00:16:56.680
I mean, just think about the enormity of that, just the enormity of that to prediction. And it was
00:17:04.100
right. All right. I predicted that Trump's policies would look better and better the further we got
00:17:11.940
away from his presidency. Correct? Correct. I predicted the shy Trump voter phenomenon. Now, other people
00:17:20.560
predicted some of these things. So I'm not claiming I'm the only person who predicted them. I'm just
00:17:25.580
saying that there were unusual predictions and correct. So I got this shy voter, shy Trump voter
00:17:30.740
thing. Everybody, all the experts said, no, that's not real. But at the moment, everybody accepts that
00:17:36.540
it was real. I predicted that Jeb Bush was done the same day I heard low energy as his kill shot. The same
00:17:46.160
day I predicted he was done. And he was. Nobody predicted that but me. I'm the only one in the world.
00:17:52.900
Um, I predicted Carly Fiorini's peak popularity the day that her polls were the highest and would never
00:18:02.440
be that high again. I hit it like, I think to the weak. Um, I predicted the Las Vegas shooter was not
00:18:11.060
ISIS even after ISIS, even after ISIS claimed credit. Even after they claimed credit. I said it
0.81
00:18:17.020
wasn't ISIS. And it wasn't. Um, I predicted the vaccinations would not work. Same. But you remember
00:18:26.180
that, right? I predicted that the vaccinations would not work. And they didn't. But I did predict the
00:18:33.700
therapeutics would probably save us. And they probably did. That plus the virus attenuating.
00:18:40.440
I predicted that Fauci was lying when he said that the N95s wouldn't protect you. And I said
00:18:47.260
specifically he was lying because he is protecting the supply. And I was right. Now, I'm not arguing
00:18:55.500
about whether masks work. That's a different conversation. I'm arguing whether Fauci lied and
00:19:00.100
he admitted he lied. I predicted the secret sonic weapon at the embassies would never be confirmed
00:19:06.640
as a weapon. Certainly not a sonic weapon. And so far, no sign of a weapon. I said that Ukraine
0.96
00:19:16.020
would be too hard to conquer because of the modern military stuff that they had. I believe I'm the only
00:19:22.260
person in the world who got that right. Prove me wrong. The only person in the world who got that
00:19:28.860
right. And that was a pretty bold prediction, since everyone in the world was on the other
00:19:33.800
side. I'll tell you the ones I got wrong in a minute, too. And I know what you're thinking.
00:19:40.360
I said Republicans would be hunted. People mocked me. How does that one look? Does it look like
00:19:46.240
they're looking for Republicans? It looks like that to me. All right. I talked about good chance
00:19:54.760
you'd be dead in the air. In 2018, I started saying that the U.S. needed to decouple its economy
00:20:02.560
from China. What did everybody say in 2018 when I said, we have to decouple our industry from China?
00:20:09.980
Everybody said, you're fucking crazy. That's never going to happen. Here we are, decoupling from China.
00:20:16.640
Probably the craziest thing I ever predicted. And it's happening. I predicted in 2018 that there was
00:20:27.820
a good chance of a Middle East peace deal when most people, almost everybody, thought that was
00:20:33.600
impossible. But I predicted a Middle East peace deal not counting Iran. And then the Abraham Accords
0.83
00:20:40.280
happened. And that was based on a prediction that there were so many dealmakers in office at the
00:20:45.000
same time. So it was just sort of a coincidence of timing that I thought that could be possible.
00:20:52.080
I predicted that Trump alone could calm tensions with North Korea by befriending Kim Jong-un. And he did.
00:21:01.360
I'm the only one. I'm pretty sure nobody else predicted that, you know, when I did.
00:21:08.860
I predicted that Russia collusion was a hoax. You all predicted that too. But that was correct.
00:21:15.000
I predicted probably a dozen other legal charges against Trump would evaporate. They all did.
00:21:21.940
So far, nothing. I predicted that alcohol, we someday find out that the whole thing that
00:21:28.880
moderate drinking is good for your health. I predicted that someday that would be debunked.
00:21:34.380
Now, I'm not sure that's totally debunked, but the science is now more mixed on that.
00:21:38.480
All right, here are the wrong predictions, right?
00:21:44.460
So you can see the people who are damaged. You can see them in the comments. So one of them
00:21:52.240
is saying, is commenting that this is an exercise in the ego. There's something wrong with you,
00:22:00.400
isn't there? Like, do you have an issue? Because if you're watching somebody who predicts
00:22:08.420
for a living, and then that person who predicts for a living, this is what I do. I tell you what
00:22:15.320
I think is going to happen. If I don't check my work, I'm not really doing a good job of predicting,
00:22:20.860
and I haven't done a good job of keeping my list. So now I'm going to tell you the ones I got wrong.
00:22:28.080
Will you have just as much of a discomfort when I tell you what I did wrong as when I told you what
00:22:35.620
was right? All right. All right. Everybody who thinks that what's happening now is me talking about
00:22:42.840
my ego, you have something wrong with you. You really do. You should be saying to yourself,
00:22:49.400
is the record good or not? And therefore, your credibility that you apply to me should be
00:22:56.140
adjusted based on my record. So I'm talking about you. Right? I'm talking about how you can have a
00:23:04.820
better idea of what the future would look like by judging whether I'm good at predicting it.
00:23:13.540
So here's the ones I got wrong. All right. I predicted that Trump would win in 2020.
00:23:19.400
The reason that was wrong is I did not see that the pandemic changes would have as much
00:23:26.780
change as they did, and maybe some other reasons, but it was wrong. Whatever reason, it was wrong.
00:23:34.640
And let's see. What else? I was wrong about that. I was wrong about Russia not invading,
00:23:40.200
because I thought that Putin would be at least as smart as I was, but he wasn't. So I was 100%
00:23:48.140
wrong about Putin not invading. I said that Kamala Harris would be the toughest Democrat opponent,
00:23:54.160
so I thought she would get the nomination instead of Biden, and Kamala instead was the first one that
0.57
00:24:00.020
got dropped down for being terrible. So that's as wrong as you can be, although she did become
00:24:05.720
president for two hours, but that doesn't make me right. I was wrong about Trump's VP choice.
00:24:12.040
He picked Pence. I forget who I imagined it would be. And then a bunch of... I asked on Twitter
00:24:20.840
for people to tell me what I got wrong, and most of the answers were that I was wrong about everything
00:24:26.640
I predicted about the pandemic. But there aren't any examples of that. So there's a widespread belief
00:24:36.000
that I got everything wrong about the pandemic. There's no example of that. I got everything right
00:24:41.120
about the pandemic. I was the most right about the pandemic by far. And you can see I put the full
00:24:48.180
description in my bio. So look at my profile on... look at my profile on... I know, you don't believe
00:24:55.380
it. But look at my profile, and there's a link there where there's a full description of what I said was,
00:25:01.860
you know, what I believed, and what happened. You can see for yourself.
00:25:07.700
So all the people who are talking about my ego, you really do have some kind of mental disorder.
00:25:13.380
And I'm going to talk more about that. Because there's a group of people who simply hate anybody
00:25:20.580
who is right, or anybody who is successful at anything. And what is it about it that makes
00:25:27.860
that so distasteful to you? Those of you who are concerned about my ego right now,
00:25:34.900
what is it that makes this such an unpleasant experience for you?
00:25:38.820
Yeah, I mean, I think you probably need to think about some therapy or something. Because if somebody
00:25:46.340
telling you what they got right and what they got wrong is a problem, you really need to look into
00:25:53.700
that. Because I would think that that's really holding you back. You know, if you think that my success
00:26:00.900
is offensive, how the fuck are you ever going to succeed? Seriously? You must think that if you
00:26:08.900
became successful like me, you'd be an asshole too, right? Is that what you think? Wouldn't it be
00:26:14.180
dangerous for you to do a bunch of successful things? It would be dangerous, wouldn't it? Because
00:26:20.420
that would be a blow to what you think is good. Because then you'd be like me. Oh, oh my god,
00:26:25.940
you got some things right. You got some things wrong too, but I can't deal with the fact that
00:26:32.100
you got some things right, even if you got a bunch of things wrong. Even if you got 10 times things
00:26:37.380
more wrong than right, which is approximately my actual record, 10 times more wrong than right.
00:26:45.380
If you count businesses and, you know, romance and everything else, if you count everything I've ever
00:26:50.020
done, I fail about 10 times for every one time I succeed. And I've always said that. I wrote a book
00:26:56.980
about it, about failing 10 times. And if that's threatening to you, it's threatening to you that
00:27:04.180
somebody could fail 10 times, succeed once, and you're like, fuck an asshole. Oh my god,
0.75
00:27:10.580
the ego on that guy. The ego on that guy, he succeeded one out of 10 times. I can't believe it.
00:27:24.020
What do you think is happening to the matchup between the generic Republican and the generic
00:27:29.700
Democrat for the midterms? You remember, it was only a few short months ago that the GOP
00:27:35.380
had a pretty big lead in the generic contest, which is a generic Democrat against a generic Republican.
00:27:43.860
Where do you think it is now, according to the Rasmussen polling organization?
00:27:49.780
It's a tie. Yeah, there's a one point difference, basically a tie.
00:28:01.380
This is exactly what it was supposed to do, right? It always says this. Yeah, we're not surprised.
00:28:07.060
So every poll you saw six months ago that said there was a big gap, you knew that gap was going
00:28:14.500
to disappear. And also, you knew that gap was going to disappear. And here's the real,
00:28:20.260
you know, mind spinner. You knew it wouldn't matter what happened, right?
00:28:27.220
You knew, didn't matter what happened with COVID, didn't matter what happened in Ukraine, didn't
00:28:32.500
matter what happened in the economy, didn't matter what happened with abortion. It didn't matter.
00:28:40.100
Nothing in the policy or the outcomes mattered. What mattered was people just went to their team.
00:28:47.380
That's it. Yeah, they just voted for their team. But why they didn't vote for their team earlier,
00:28:55.540
probably because it wasn't serious, right? When it gets serious and you actually can like
00:29:01.060
visualize, oh God, maybe the other team could win. I don't want that. Then suddenly your team
00:29:07.060
Somebody's saying, notice this is about me. Notice every time I get owned that I move on quickly
00:29:16.980
or I get angry and switch the topic. Who exactly was owning me back then?
00:29:23.860
Did somebody see me get owned? What kind of weird hallucination are you having now?
00:29:30.980
Somebody's asking me to explain the tennis ball incident. So there's a story on Twitter and I
00:29:41.700
don't know anything about it, but there's a story on Twitter that I once claimed that a tennis ball
00:29:48.820
disappeared and I had my ex-wife, I don't know which one according to this story, had to drive me,
00:29:56.180
me, had to drive me to the emergency room because I thought a tennis ball disappeared.
00:30:02.500
That's the story I saw on Twitter about myself today. Now, I'm pretty sure that didn't happen.
00:30:11.700
Pretty sure. That's actually true. There's somebody here who is telling me that I don't know my own
00:30:19.380
life well enough that I believe that there was a tennis ball that disappeared
00:30:26.100
and that I went to the emergency room because of it.
00:30:32.980
SB says, name one thing you got right about the pandemic.
00:30:37.540
I'll do better than that. Go to my profile and look at the document. There's an entire document
00:30:44.020
of all of my opinions. You can see both what I got right and what I got wrong.
00:30:48.100
And after you read that, I'd like you to come back and say, oh, I didn't realize that you were so right.
00:30:54.340
I was the most right about the pandemic period. All right. Now, is that ego?
00:31:01.380
I don't know. If I win a contest because I have a higher score,
00:31:05.700
I don't think it's ego to say I won the contest. Here's my score. I mean, you can score it yourself.
00:31:12.100
If you find anybody who did better, let me know.
00:31:23.700
The only comment I have about Lizzo and the flute is that it makes me wonder if Republicans should be
00:31:30.740
added to the LGBTQ. So I decided I'm going to add the R there. So for me, it's going to be LGBTQ R.
0.75
00:31:40.420
Because I know there were a lot of Republicans who probably watched Lizzo playing the flute,
00:31:45.300
James Madison's flute, and said to themselves, because of how you are. I'm not a Republican,
00:31:50.580
by the way. So just so you know, I'm not a Republican. But I bet a lot of Republicans watched
00:31:55.380
that, and they saw Lizzo, and they said to themselves, I do not want to have sex with her.
00:32:00.980
Which would be sort of a minority weird opinion. And so I think that any time that you have a
00:32:08.260
non-standard sexual opinion, that that kind of puts you into the non-standard group. Now, when I say
00:32:18.500
non-standard, I'm not insulting. Because I prefer non-standard people. That's why I love my LGBTQ
0.99
00:32:25.620
people. Because anybody who's just, you know, completely out and non-standard, love them.
00:32:35.060
Be as non-standard as you want. As long as it doesn't hurt me. I mean, I don't want to be
00:32:39.780
disadvantaged by it. But be yourself. Go wild. Be as LGBTQ as you could possibly be. I love it all.
00:32:48.660
But I would like to add to it. I like it so much. I love it so much. That I think we should add
00:32:56.820
Republicans to it. And probably incels as well. Because if incels are not a distinct sexual group,
00:33:03.620
I don't know who is. Now, some of you are going to say, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott. You fucking bigot.
00:33:10.580
You're going to say that. Some of you. You're going to say the big difference is being a Republican is a
00:33:15.660
choice. Whereas being gay is, you know, genetic. So you can't compare a choice to genetic. Do you
0.91
00:33:24.380
know what I say to you? If you were to say that? I'd say you fucking bigot. There is plenty of science
00:33:31.660
to suggest that whether you're conservative or liberal is baked in, it is in fact genetically
00:33:37.900
at least influenced. I don't know to what extent. So yes, it's very much genetically influenced,
00:33:44.940
your political stuff. And so I would suggest that all of the things that are genetically,
00:33:53.740
and I would say I think the incels are in a situation where their genetic situation
00:33:58.380
probably has a lot to do with their, you know, their outcomes. So I think if your genetics are
00:34:05.740
the primary driver of it, and it puts you into a sexual preference category that's non-majority,
00:34:13.980
then I think you belong on the LGBTQRI train, and not with the regular people who would
1.00
00:34:22.300
obviously be attracted to Lizzo. Now, and I want to be clear, I'm not saying that
00:34:31.420
most people in the world would want to have sex with Lizzo. The largest group of Americans would look
1.00
00:34:40.220
at Lizzo and say, I want to get me that. It would be the smaller groups that we, you know, individually,
00:34:45.900
that you'd lump together in the LGBTQRI category. Now, if you're fighting against these special
1.00
00:34:57.500
privileges that you think are given to some categories, but not you, then why you're not
00:35:04.220
joining those categories, I don't know. You know, we've speculated that the teacher who has the wig and
00:35:12.140
the gigantic prosthetic breasts may in fact be playing a prank and not actually identifying as
00:35:18.540
a woman, right? We've all said that. If you worked in, if I worked in corporate America tomorrow, like
00:35:25.580
let's say I lost everything and have to go get a real job. If I, if I got a job in corporate America,
00:35:31.100
I would identify as black and I would never change my mind and I would make them have to deal with that.
1.00
00:35:39.420
I would be my character Dave in, in my Dilbert comic, except, you know, the reverse of that.
00:35:45.580
Uh, and I would never change my mind because if you, if you're not joining the team that gets the advantages,
00:35:53.740
why not? So I've got two teams. Scott, you can join this team or this team. I go, what's the difference?
00:36:00.460
Well, if you join this team, you get advantages. Oh, okay. Well, why do people join the other team?
00:36:05.420
Um, I don't know, but they do. Well, let me understand. I think I'm missing something.
00:36:13.180
You've got two teams. One has disadvantages and one has advantages. You can join either team. There's
00:36:19.420
no rule that says you can't join the other team. And yet people will stay on the team with the
00:36:24.540
disadvantages. Yes, they will. Because they identify with that team. To which I say, screw that. I identify
00:36:34.380
with the team that's winning. I don't care who it is. If you, if you told me tomorrow that the,
00:36:41.900
I don't know, the radical gay Hispanics had all the power in society, but there was nothing to stop
1.00
00:36:50.380
you from identifying as a radical gay Hispanic, I would be a, I would identify as a radical gay Hispanic
00:36:57.500
in one minute. If there were no rule to prevent it. If society says, here's the rules and you,
00:37:04.460
and there's complete fluidity, there's no friction to move from one to the other. There is nothing
00:37:09.500
that would keep me from identifying as black in corporate America. And if you think that's a joke,
00:37:14.860
does anybody think I'm kidding? Do you think that that's hyperbole? That's not hyperbole. I would
00:37:20.860
literally, physically identify as black in corporate America. And I would never look back.
00:37:30.700
And I would say it with a straight face to anybody who asked. And I would never ever back up,
00:37:37.180
back off of that. I would never back off. And in fact, if you don't like your situation,
00:37:42.540
because you feel like you're being discriminated against, and you haven't joined the winning team,
00:37:47.100
I can't explain that. I honestly can't. Like what, what are you doing? What are you doing?
00:37:56.940
Why, why in the world would you identify as the group that gets less stuff? Oh, I'd like to,
00:38:03.180
I get identify with the people who are, who are going to be discriminated against overtly. Nobody,
00:38:10.300
it's not even maybe. It's overtly. I mean, seriously, grow up. Join the winning team. There's
00:38:20.060
nothing to stop you. And if you want all the nonsense to stop, that's how you do it. Just
00:38:26.060
all join the same team. Because they can't discriminate against you when you join their team.
00:38:32.220
Can they? You know, this seems related, but it's not. This is a completely unrelated thought.
00:38:39.500
Have you ever noted that Democrat women believe that Republican men
00:38:47.900
discriminate against women or have some, I don't know, sexist beliefs about women? And that's
0.98
00:38:54.140
probably true because everybody has sexist beliefs, men and women. But have you ever noticed that when
00:38:59.580
there's a, um, a powerful female Republican candidate that no Republican ever criticizes them
1.00
00:39:10.380
for being a woman? Have you noticed that? I've never heard it once. And I, I'm like immersed in
00:39:18.300
Republican-y conservative conversation. Never once have I heard anybody say something like,
00:39:24.780
oh, Carrie Lake, uh, we, we can't have her because what if she's on her period?
1.00
00:39:31.420
Nobody, nobody, like zero, zero people. Uh, or how about, uh, uh, uh, we can't have Kristi Noem
0.94
00:39:39.660
because of, you know, girls make bad, I don't, what, what, what the hell is somebody gonna say?
00:39:44.620
I don't even know what anybody says anymore. Like, what is the stereotype that anybody would even use?
00:39:49.100
Oh, she'll be late and, you know, she'll, she'll have to do her makeup and she'll miss the meeting.
1.00
00:39:54.460
Well, like, what would anybody say? Right? Yeah. Um, and even Marjorie Taylor Greene,
00:40:00.060
you know, you can have your opinions about her, but there's no Republican.
1.00
00:40:04.940
Not once, not once have I ever heard a Republican disparage a Republican woman. Not once.
00:40:12.620
Not once. And I guess that's only useful if you are a woman and you're wondering.
0.99
00:40:20.060
I can tell you that when the men are alone, they might say that one of them is hot.
00:40:26.460
Right? Kristi Noem. They might say that, actually, usually every time. But they'll never say anything
00:40:32.940
bad. You know, they don't say anything bad because she is a woman. It just doesn't happen. Yeah.
00:40:38.460
And it's hard to explain that, isn't it? See, this is, this is why the Republicans have a
00:40:45.980
complete winning argument. If they just say, we'll let the Republican women
1.00
00:40:57.420
You don't understand how brilliant that idea is, do you? Because everybody wants their opinion. I get
00:41:02.940
that. You know, men want to have their opinion and there's, it's a free country. You get to have your
00:41:07.180
opinion. But if Republicans wanted to just sweep the field, if they just wanted to sweep the field,
00:41:14.140
the Republican men should say in unison, you know what, why would we think we could do better than
00:41:21.020
the Republican women? The only reason that a man should be involved in the decision is because you
1.00
00:41:29.740
think that your man decision improves the decision over what women would have decided themselves.
00:41:36.700
I mean, that's sort of what you're thinking. Maybe not expressly. But there's no argument for why men
00:41:43.420
have to be in this at all. Unless you believe that women couldn't make the right decision.
1.00
00:41:49.660
Is there anybody here who thinks that women
1.00
00:41:51.580
couldn't make the right decision? Anybody? If you believe that women can make the right decision,
1.00
00:42:00.940
and especially Republican women, very capable, very, you know, very fully powerful to take the
1.00
00:42:09.180
argument forward, why would men do something that hurts men and doesn't help women? When Republican men
00:42:16.380
become the face of the abortion argument, which they are, which they are, men are the face of the
00:42:23.020
abortion argument for the Republicans. When they do that, they're hurting men, right? That hurts men.
00:42:29.980
Because we get all this criticism for being men in the wrong topic. I don't need that. Like, I get
00:42:37.180
criticized and I have nothing to do with it. I'm literally not in the conversation. And I still get
00:42:42.140
criticized because I'm a man. So men get out of this. So if the Republican men just said, you know,
00:42:48.700
the one thing we're confident of is that Republican women have this. Now, some of you just have a
1.00
00:42:57.820
reflexive problem with men letting go of any kind of power. I get that. But understand, and this has
00:43:06.060
nothing to do with the child support or the money part of it. For the money part,
00:43:10.540
for the money part, for the money part, men need to be part of that conversation, for sure.
00:43:21.660
And I can't tell from the comments, but while I don't think it's possible for it to happen,
00:43:28.220
would you agree that if Republican men said, you know, we have our opinions, you've heard our opinions,
00:43:33.740
but now we're going to let the Republican women carry the ball? You don't think that would work?
1.00
00:43:43.420
You don't think the Democrats would say, whoa, that actually looks pretty good. Why aren't we doing that?
00:43:49.580
Because the Republican men are all over the conversation, aren't they? I'm sorry, the Democrat men.
00:43:54.860
Democrat men are definitely in this conversation. If the Republican men said, why are you in this
00:43:59.980
conversation? We're out. Talk to our women. I mean, that sounds sexist. Talk to our women. It's not our
0.99
00:44:05.980
women. Talk to the women. Let's say talk to the women. All right. That's what I think.
1.00
00:44:15.500
Jonathan Haidt quit the social psychologists, some kind of academic association, because they had a
00:44:27.500
forced diversity statement that you have to sign for your research. So you have to sign a statement that
00:44:34.620
describes how your research will help diversity, or whether or not it does. And he just said, I
00:44:43.340
fucking quit. Now, it's not like he quit his job, or he didn't quit his job. And he's giving them a year
00:44:52.540
to reassess, so he's not immediately quitting. But he's announced that that's an untenable thing to
00:45:00.940
force him to... And his point is that once you put the political into the scientific, you're just
00:45:08.940
getting something that nobody wants. And I think that's a good point. So he's not saying that he disagrees
00:45:14.380
with the politics of it. It's not even relevant. It's just, why did you put your politics in my science?
00:45:21.420
And why did you put your politics in my science is... That's a strong statement. All right. So I'm totally with
00:45:28.060
him. Now, how would you like to have some fun? Would you like to have some fun?
00:45:33.340
Amazon Studios came out with their inclusion policy. So Amazon Studios makes content for Amazon.
00:45:44.380
And I want to read to you from there. It's very extensive. But imagine that you're a creator,
00:45:50.860
and you're trying to get something made at Amazon Studios. They've got some new inclusivity rules.
00:45:58.300
I'd like to read some of the rules. And they're very long.
00:46:00.380
Well, it's just a sample of them. A lot of rules. I just picked out some of them.
00:46:05.340
So this will just be like a taste. All right. Now, I'll just read it fast. So you just sort
00:46:10.700
of get the flavor of it, right? They said, uh, uh, most productions have a multitude of speaking
00:46:17.580
roles from leads to smaller rules, roles, where it doesn't compromise the authenticity of the story.
00:46:23.660
So they're, they're acknowledging that if the nature of the story is about one kind of person,
00:46:30.220
you know, there's going to be mostly that kind of person. So they get that the story might dominate.
00:46:35.100
But if you can do it, they say, um, they have aspiration goals. The minimum is, uh, for 30%,
00:46:43.340
this is the ratio they want. Unless the story requires a certain mix, the mix that they want to
00:46:48.940
see is 30% white men, 30% white women, uh, and non-binary and non-binary people, 20% men
00:46:58.300
from underrepresented races and ethnicities, 20% women and non-binary people from underrepresented
00:47:04.780
races and ethnicities. And where we can have more people from underrepresented racial ethnic groups,
00:47:10.460
will seek to do that. Um, and we also aspire to cast at least 10% of our roles with people who are
00:47:16.860
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender and non-binder, et cetera. And then 10% with people who
0.52
00:47:22.540
self-identify as a person with a disability. Uh, but you can have one person could be, you know,
00:47:31.740
Now, do you think I'm done? I'm just getting started. I'm just starting. It goes on.
00:47:44.300
Um, let's see. What else? Uh, when the storylines of the top billing characters involve underrepresented
00:47:53.900
communities, and that would include women, underrepresented ethnic, racial groups, sexual
00:47:59.100
orientations, blah, blah, disabilities, we aim to have a minimum of 30% of above the line staff
00:48:05.340
hires. I think an above the line staff means directors, writers, producers, and creators. Okay.
00:48:13.020
So you want 30% of them to be in those categories. And this aspirational goal will increase to 50%
00:48:20.620
by 2024. Um, I read the whole thing and I didn't see anything about Republicans.
00:48:29.100
So apparently Amazon Studio has no, uh, their inclusion policy does not include, uh,
00:48:38.140
the, one of the dominant, you know, philosophies of the country, which is Republicanism.
00:48:45.900
And, and it also doesn't include Democrat specifically.
00:48:51.100
So inclusivity is kind of interesting. Here's what I think Republicans should do.
00:48:55.340
They should buy into DEI, the diversity, um, equality and inclusion, and they should demand
00:49:03.500
that they be included in it. So the problem with that is that Republicans are a minority in this
00:49:09.340
country, 30%, and they're treated, uh, quite disgustingly. And I believe that they should demand
00:49:16.780
equal rights under DEI and they should fight for it. No, I'm not kidding. See, so some of you think I'm
00:49:23.740
joking, right? No, no, I mean actually legally, physically, practically, and for a good purpose,
00:49:33.260
that it would actually be good for the country. Not a prank. I'm not talking about a prank.
00:49:38.940
I'm talking about something good for the country that everybody who feels discriminated against should
00:49:44.380
have their say. Just as everybody with disabilities or racial, ethnic, uh, sexuality difference, they should
00:49:54.060
all have their say. Every one of them. Every one of them. But let's just be complete. See,
00:50:02.940
embrace and amplify. If, if embracing and amplifying a position, uh, strengthens it, then that was a good
00:50:11.900
thing. If embracing it completely destroys it, well, it wasn't a good thing. If embracing it destroys it.
00:50:19.900
So let's embrace it. Let's say, you know, if you can,
00:50:27.500
well, I guess I've made the point. Just embrace it. Yeah, I guess Christians would be the same point.
00:50:31.420
Um, I saw a Republican say that, uh, he was against, uh, gay marriage. There's a Republican candidate
00:50:45.180
for state office in Arizona who says on Twitter that he was opposed to gay marriage because he thinks
00:50:50.860
it opened up, you know, opened up a path to these other things that he doesn't like.
00:50:55.580
And I wonder this, is there anybody who thinks that they lost something because gay marriage is
00:51:01.980
legal? Like, what, what did you lose? Now, before something happens, it's perfectly reasonable to
00:51:09.740
worry that something could go wrong. You know, change is always, it changes always, uh, difficult. But does
00:51:19.580
anybody feel they lost something? Somebody's told me to F off, I think.
00:51:33.180
You lost interest. You lost God's respect. Did you? The concept of marriage, but didn't affect your
00:51:40.700
marriage. Uh, did your marriage get worse because gays got married? Yeah. Now, it seems to me that
0.99
00:51:49.260
um, this should be one of those cases where I think Republicans could say, give me a fact check
00:51:57.980
on this because I, you know, most of you may have had a different opinion than I did from the start.
00:52:02.540
So I've always been in favor of everybody doing whatever they want if it doesn't hurt me.
00:52:07.980
So, you know, I'm happy with everything. But would you say that maybe it was something you worried
00:52:14.620
about, but then it happened and you found out it didn't bother you at all? Is there anybody here
00:52:19.900
who would say they were opposed to gay marriage, but now that they can see it, the gay marriage
0.87
00:52:25.420
itself, no, no slippery slope stuff. That, that's not fair. You, you cannot say that gays can't have
00:52:32.140
equal rights or, you know, that would be the argument. You can't say that gays don't get what they
00:52:36.460
get because somebody else might slippery slope later. That's not fair. You, you have to look
00:52:41.820
at gay marriage by itself. Yes or no. You can't throw in other things that might happen. That's not fair.
0.87
00:52:51.660
Yeah. I don't know. Interesting. I just wondered if anybody, uh, checks their thinking and says,
00:52:57.580
well, I guess I could be wrong sometimes. No, because that's how a case law works. Oh, I
00:53:05.740
understand that. No, I understand that it's a real thing. I'm just saying that you can't treat rights
00:53:11.420
like that because rights, rights are not, you don't, you know what I mean, right? That would be like
00:53:19.900
saying, well, you know, I will end slavery, but we have this good argument for why maybe we should
00:53:26.220
keep a little bit. I mean, no, no, no, no. There's some things that just have to be absolutes.
00:53:34.220
All right. Absolutely. Is there anything that I forgot to mention? Let's talk about Putin.
00:53:46.780
I don't believe that a nuclear war is likely, and I think it's very unlikely. Here's why.
00:53:54.540
Everybody who says that Putin doesn't have a, um, an exit ramp, I don't know what they're talking
00:54:01.740
about because his exit ramp is just right in front of you. It's obvious. Putin's exit ramp is he says,
00:54:08.540
I succeeded in denazifying these areas because he said that was what he was there to do.
00:54:15.180
And then what's Ukraine going to say? Is Ukraine going to say, no, you failed. We still have plenty
00:54:19.900
of Nazis. So it's one of those claims that they could make and the other side is going to be like,
00:54:25.740
whatever. Like they're not going to even debate it. Whatever. So he's going to say, I got rid of
00:54:30.460
all the Nazis. And then he's going to say, and then we held these referendums. And then these people
00:54:36.540
got what they wanted, which was to be part of Russia. Now, I don't know the actual percentages
00:54:41.980
that would have happened. Let's say, let's say you had pulled those people, um, fairly instead
00:54:48.300
of this, obviously it was a rigged election, but I suppose you had asked them fairly, would the
00:54:54.060
people in Crimea have actually voted by majority, maybe just 55% or something, but would Crimea have
00:55:01.180
said we'd like to be part of Russia? Does anybody even know the answer to that? And would all four of
00:55:07.420
those areas? Because I've got a feeling that if you could find at least one of those areas
00:55:15.260
of the four, if you could find one of them where an honest poll of the public would find that they
00:55:21.980
would rather be Ukrainian, there's your exit. You just say, hey, hey, hey, let's, would you agree,
0.97
00:55:29.180
Putin, that we will re-poll the people, because he had that fake, fake vote, we'll re-poll the people,
00:55:39.020
and we'll actually go with the majority. And if, if three out of the four areas say they want to be
00:55:44.300
Russian, you got it. And if one of the four says we'd rather be Ukrainian, then that's your deal. You
0.69
00:55:52.700
get to say you won, you got to keep these Russian speaking places that seem, they want to be Russian.
00:55:57.660
There was one that was contended, that's why there's a little pain both ways. You know,
00:56:02.780
Russia gets a little pain, they give something back. Ukraine gets a little pain, they give,
0.94
00:56:06.860
give away three regions that wanted, wanted to be Russian in a hypothetical. And then Russia claims
00:56:14.700
success, NATO claims success because they, you know, they were a bullwark. How is, how is that not obvious?
00:56:23.900
I mean, to me, to me, the exit ramp is right there. Now, here's why I don't think, now I'm not saying
00:56:32.380
it would be easy, or that, you know, people are just going to take that path and go. What I'm saying
00:56:37.820
is that you're never going to get to nuclear war until that thing has been completely talked about.
00:56:44.700
And it hasn't yet. So there, there's a whole phase that you would have to go through before you'd even
00:56:51.980
start thinking about nuclear war. And that phase is, let's talk about these four regions.
00:56:58.380
And let's talk about making a deal about the four regions. Now, of course, Zelensky says no deal.
00:57:04.620
And Putin says no deal, no way, right? And so the people who are not good at negotiating look at it
00:57:12.300
and say, well, I guess there's no deal. So I guess it's going to be nuclear war. But everybody should
0.88
00:57:18.620
know at this point that both of them are supposed to take the extreme. That's your opening position.
00:57:24.380
Your opening position is the extreme. So if you have to give up anything, it looks like an actual
00:57:30.300
sacrifice. So all they're doing is making sure that if they give something up, it actually feels
00:57:36.060
like pain. Because if they don't both feel like pain, then there's no deal. They have to both paint
00:57:43.260
themselves in a corner that they can only get out of at great pain. That's how you get to a peace deal.
00:57:50.380
And they've done that. They both painted themselves in a corner. There is a way out. It requires both of
00:57:56.380
them to take a little pain. But it's right there. I mean, you don't have to be a rocket science to
00:58:02.460
know what it looks like. It looks like some of the territory goes back to Ukraine and some kind of
00:58:09.260
security guarantees and economic guarantees and blah, blah, blah. So it's one thing to say that
00:58:17.580
those that any negotiations would be successful. All I'm saying is that I'm not even going to think
00:58:23.340
about nuclear war. I'm not even going to think. Moral equivalency? What kind of idiot are you?
00:58:32.460
I have a chapter in one of my books about the moral equivalency idiots.
00:58:39.420
Have you ever had the people who come in and they think they're making the smart comment?
00:58:43.260
Well, you're making a moral equivalency between two things. And you never are.
00:58:48.140
Have you noticed you never are? You're just talking about things?
00:58:51.020
All right. There's this thing and there's this thing. This might cause this thing.
00:58:55.740
This is a variable. And then some fucking idiot comes in and goes,
00:58:59.100
well, you're making a moral equivalency between Satan and ice cream.
00:59:03.180
There's no moral equivalency between Satan and ice cream.
00:59:07.820
And I'll be like, I didn't say there was. Why are you even imagining that I would say that?
00:59:14.620
In fact, I can't even think of somebody who would be less likely to make a moral equivalence.
00:59:22.940
I'm probably the least likely person to do that.
00:59:29.660
Ukraine has always been a vassal state. Why treat them any way differently?
00:59:33.100
That's not thinking. They've always been a vassal state, so why not treat them that way?
0.96
00:59:43.020
Like, you're missing all the logic and the reasons and the facts and all that stuff.
00:59:52.300
You know, it's the most annoying part of my life is that close to 98% of everything that people criticize me about never happened.
01:00:06.780
Do most of you know that? You know, some of you are here just to be my critics,
01:00:10.380
but you do know that 98% of all the criticism about me literally never happened.
01:00:23.580
Or that I think rape is natural and therefore it's okay. No.
01:00:35.820
Literally, I organized a boycott against masks.
01:00:39.520
I literally was trying to organize a national boycott against masks.
01:00:47.460
Like, most of it's not even close, to my opinion.
01:00:58.780
The part of Ukraine that Putin holds makes up 80% of their GDP.
01:01:06.740
Yeah, are you talking about Crimea, specifically?
01:01:09.880
I mean, Crimea is a big part of it, because that's not going anywhere, is it?
01:01:33.040
I don't care that you're on the subscription service.
01:02:08.740
You know very well that I talked about the science of them, but I never promoted them as something you should wear.
01:02:31.340
I suppose that's not the best way to end this live stream.
01:03:32.420
Inflation will have topped, and it will be heading down.
01:03:42.440
The energy situation will be way better, especially because of the Ukraine war winding down.
01:03:50.320
We will be heading into a golden age like you have never seen before.
01:03:56.900
Because our biggest problems look like they're winding down.
01:04:09.960
And I think that even nuclear is likely to start to look good.
01:04:19.440
I'm thinking that plume theory was a bad scientific hypothesis.
01:04:26.740
Now, I'm not predicting a second term for Biden.
01:04:46.480
And I think in order to get there, the winter is going to be rugged.
01:04:51.420
So I am going to predict that the winter will be tough.
01:05:00.820
Because we have to pull together, and Europe especially, people are going to be just, like,
01:05:11.460
There will be more people helping out people than any time since maybe World War II.
01:05:19.100
So you're going to find more cohesion just because we have to.
01:05:24.060
You know, we have a common enemy now, which is lack of energy.
01:05:44.740
So I think everything's going to be great next year.
01:05:48.420
You've got a tough winter, but we will pull together and get through it.
