00:00:04.880 Good morning, everybody.

00:00:06.840 And welcome to the finest program in all the land.

00:00:11.640 Dare I say, a highlight of human civilization.

00:00:14.920 I don't think it gets any better than coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:19.340 Today, the coffee will be black.

00:00:22.200 The best kind.

00:00:23.540 And if you'd like to take it up another level,

00:00:26.300 all you need is a copper mug or a glass,

00:00:28.040 a tankard chalicers dine, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:00:31.220 a vessel of any kind.

00:00:33.040 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:35.940 I like coffee.

00:00:38.040 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:40.520 the dopamine to the day,

00:00:41.760 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:44.080 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:47.540 And it happens now,

00:00:48.840 in which all of us come together in unity.

00:00:52.840 Go.

00:00:53.120 Go.

00:00:53.160 Oh, yeah.

00:00:58.580 Mm-hmm, yeah.

00:00:59.880 That's good.

00:01:01.720 I'm seeing more AI art of me.

00:01:06.440 Over the Locals platform,

00:01:08.340 they're showing me art

00:01:09.340 that the artificial intelligence made,

00:01:12.780 usually of me.

00:01:14.440 And I'm pretty scary looking,

00:01:16.440 according to artificial intelligence.

00:01:18.640 Very scary looking.

00:01:19.860 Would you like to talk about the news?

00:01:25.120 We've got some interesting news.

00:01:27.460 We will talk about Kanye,

00:01:28.880 but we'll wait for some more people

00:01:30.120 to stream into the live stream.

00:01:33.640 Are you following the story?

00:01:35.400 It's a small story,

00:01:37.620 but maybe it should be a big one.

00:01:40.380 And the small story is about

00:01:41.900 NXIVM and Keith Rennari.

00:01:44.440 Now, you all remember the story.

00:01:45.900 So the alleged story was

00:01:48.660 that Keith Rennari

00:01:50.220 was a cult leader.

00:01:54.440 This is the story.

00:01:55.940 I'm not saying this is my interpretation.

00:01:58.760 He was a cult leader.

00:02:00.720 And part of that cult,

00:02:02.560 it was a subcult.

00:02:04.340 And in his subcult,

00:02:06.740 it was a sex cult.

00:02:09.020 And he had his sex slaves branded.

00:02:12.160 This is what they said.

00:02:13.140 And, I don't know,

00:02:16.060 controlled them in various ways.

00:02:18.500 But then he was convicted of,

00:02:20.940 among other things,

00:02:22.200 I think,

00:02:22.700 sex with an underage girl.

00:02:26.000 The biggest part of the evidence of that,

00:02:28.000 or a key part of the evidence,

00:02:29.060 was a photograph

00:02:29.740 of the underage girl

00:02:32.220 on his computer.

00:02:33.540 Now, since the photograph had a date,

00:02:37.660 and it was a picture of the girl,

00:02:39.060 and clearly the photo

00:02:40.500 indicated in context

00:02:43.100 that there was

00:02:43.780 an underage thing going on.

00:02:47.780 Now, I don't know the truth of the story.

00:02:51.120 So,

00:02:51.700 so don't ask me to tell you

00:02:53.500 what really went,

00:02:54.920 what really happened.

00:02:56.440 I do not know

00:02:57.620 if Keith Rennari did anything wrong,

00:03:00.500 or if he did,

00:03:02.100 what it was.

00:03:03.100 Don't know.

00:03:04.360 I will tell you

00:03:05.380 that Alan Dershowitz

00:03:06.480 is working

00:03:07.280 on the Keith Rennari defense.

00:03:11.520 So that should be

00:03:12.620 a little flag

00:03:13.220 that goes up

00:03:13.840 and you go,

00:03:14.540 what?

00:03:15.860 What?

00:03:16.860 Why would he be working on that?

00:03:19.420 Well, let me tell you.

00:03:21.060 It turns out

00:03:21.680 that they've produced

00:03:22.460 several ex-FBI employees

00:03:24.500 and forensic experts

00:03:26.560 who all seem to say

00:03:28.320 the same thing.

00:03:29.700 The photograph

00:03:30.640 which was key

00:03:31.500 to the prosecution

00:03:32.360 was faked

00:03:33.440 by the FBI.

00:03:36.220 That's what it looks like.

00:03:38.340 So the forensic people say,

00:03:40.760 ah, it's really obvious.

00:03:42.200 This is totally faked.

00:03:44.480 It was a key piece

00:03:45.260 of the prosecution.

00:03:46.500 A key piece.

00:03:47.800 Because it gave,

00:03:48.800 it basically put a date

00:03:49.900 on things.

00:03:50.400 I think that was

00:03:50.940 the main thing.

00:03:52.640 And according to Dershowitz,

00:03:54.680 now Dershowitz is not saying

00:03:56.560 we've proven it's faked.

00:03:59.720 He's still saying alleged.

00:04:02.060 Which, you know,

00:04:02.880 you should say.

00:04:03.560 At this point

00:04:04.100 you should say alleged.

00:04:05.820 But if you see

00:04:07.940 the little snippets

00:04:08.900 of the actual experts

00:04:10.440 talking about it,

00:04:12.080 they're not saying probably.

00:04:14.920 The experts are not saying,

00:04:17.480 oh, this could be faked

00:04:18.780 or maybe not.

00:04:20.140 They're saying,

00:04:20.840 oh, this is definitely faked.

00:04:22.940 Oh, absolutely.

00:04:23.800 This is just fake.

00:04:26.040 Now think about that.

00:04:27.600 Do you remember a time

00:04:28.580 when you would have said

00:04:29.380 to yourself,

00:04:29.960 that's just,

00:04:30.840 that's just what

00:04:31.520 the guilty people say.

00:04:33.340 That's just what

00:04:34.300 any defense would say.

00:04:36.580 Right?

00:04:37.700 You don't think that now,

00:04:39.000 do you?

00:04:40.260 Do you believe

00:04:41.120 that the FBI

00:04:41.840 could have been part

00:04:42.840 of a conspiracy

00:04:43.660 to convict him?

00:04:46.840 What do you believe?

00:04:48.140 Just without any evidence.

00:04:50.720 You don't have any evidence.

00:04:51.780 You just have some claims.

00:04:53.800 Right?

00:04:54.320 All you have are claims.

00:04:55.560 You don't have any evidence.

00:04:56.740 You have only claims.

00:04:58.520 Based on the claims themselves,

00:05:00.880 do you think that the FBI

00:05:02.000 was part of a plot

00:05:03.840 to put him in prison?

00:05:07.500 I think more likely

00:05:08.600 yes than no.

00:05:09.980 Yeah.

00:05:10.540 I think that the presumption

00:05:12.080 of guilt

00:05:12.480 is on the FBI.

00:05:15.600 Now, I've said this

00:05:16.520 a number of times.

00:05:17.300 If the FBI were

00:05:18.880 an individual citizen,

00:05:21.040 let's say one person

00:05:22.200 at the FBI

00:05:22.940 is being accused.

00:05:25.200 If it's one person,

00:05:27.260 I'd say presumption

00:05:28.240 of innocence.

00:05:29.700 Because whenever you have

00:05:30.720 one person,

00:05:31.860 like a citizen,

00:05:33.460 presumption of innocence,

00:05:34.460 that's just got to be

00:05:35.840 the way.

00:05:36.840 No, there's no wiggle room

00:05:38.060 there whatsoever.

00:05:39.340 But if you're talking

00:05:40.020 about the whole organization,

00:05:42.060 yeah, they're guilty.

00:05:42.800 You better prove

00:05:45.040 you're not guilty

00:05:45.800 when the evidence

00:05:46.900 suggests you are.

00:05:48.680 Like, that's their problem.

00:05:50.240 Yeah, they need to fix that.

00:05:51.600 Not me.

00:05:52.600 That's not my problem.

00:05:54.260 The presumption of guilt

00:05:55.340 is on them.

00:05:56.720 Is that my fault?

00:05:59.320 Should I take

00:06:00.180 any responsibility

00:06:01.220 for the fact

00:06:02.940 that I presume guilt

00:06:04.460 on the FBI

00:06:05.300 in this specific case?

00:06:06.980 I say no.

00:06:08.500 I say I'm completely free

00:06:10.040 of any bad feelings

00:06:11.180 about that.

00:06:11.700 that is the brand

00:06:13.480 that they've created.

00:06:15.080 It's the brand

00:06:16.040 that they've presented

00:06:16.820 to the public.

00:06:18.180 And I'm just responding

00:06:19.100 to their brand.

00:06:21.680 If that's who

00:06:22.460 they tell us they are,

00:06:23.980 why am I going to

00:06:25.040 mind-read

00:06:25.820 and come up with

00:06:26.460 some different hypothesis?

00:06:29.140 I'm going to take

00:06:29.820 the brand

00:06:30.940 that they present

00:06:31.640 and just say,

00:06:32.760 if that's who you are,

00:06:33.920 that's who you are.

00:06:35.540 So keep an eye on that.

00:06:37.220 I have no idea

00:06:38.280 what Keith Ranieri

00:06:39.560 did or did not do.

00:06:41.000 I will tell you

00:06:41.780 that the branding

00:06:43.520 part of it

00:06:44.180 was bullshit.

00:06:45.720 That part I can say

00:06:46.920 for sure.

00:06:48.640 That was willing adults

00:06:50.820 doing willing adult stuff,

00:06:53.320 period.

00:06:54.540 And everything about that

00:06:55.720 was just taken

00:06:56.640 out of context.

00:06:58.380 That part I can say

00:06:59.500 was with some confidence.

00:07:02.220 I saw a survey

00:07:03.040 that said that

00:07:03.920 when asked the question

00:07:06.540 of whether

00:07:07.180 the black Americans

00:07:08.820 should be given

00:07:10.340 any extra help

00:07:12.440 to succeed

00:07:13.900 because other ethnic groups

00:07:16.460 did not get

00:07:17.200 any extra help

00:07:18.920 in their histories.

00:07:20.440 But of course,

00:07:21.300 you can't compare, right?

00:07:22.480 There's nothing like

00:07:23.320 the legacy of slavery

00:07:25.460 doesn't really compare

00:07:27.120 to Irish people

00:07:28.680 being discriminated against.

00:07:29.960 right?

00:07:30.540 So these are not

00:07:31.720 the same thing.

00:07:33.440 But the question

00:07:35.220 was asked,

00:07:36.520 the question was asked

00:07:37.920 of black people

00:07:38.940 and non-black people,

00:07:41.240 do you think

00:07:42.480 that black Americans

00:07:43.680 should get

00:07:44.200 a little extra boost

00:07:45.560 to compensate

00:07:46.960 for past injustices?

00:07:49.900 And surprisingly,

00:07:51.900 guess what black people 1.00

00:07:53.320 said about themselves

00:07:54.380 versus what white liberals

00:07:56.900 said about black people?

00:07:59.880 Black people said 0.94

00:08:01.140 about themselves,

00:08:02.500 we don't need

00:08:04.560 that much help,

00:08:05.660 you know,

00:08:05.920 we're fine.

00:08:08.740 So black people

00:08:09.940 were far more likely

00:08:11.160 to say we don't need

00:08:12.340 any extra help

00:08:13.260 than white liberals were.

00:08:16.360 White liberals said

00:08:17.620 black people need

00:08:18.540 extra help to succeed.

00:08:21.220 Black people themselves,

00:08:22.900 not so much.

00:08:24.220 No, we got what we need.

00:08:26.900 That is,

00:08:29.120 there's no other thing,

00:08:30.640 how do you,

00:08:32.060 how could you possibly

00:08:33.140 label this

00:08:33.900 except racist?

00:08:35.960 Is this not

00:08:36.880 the most racist thing

00:08:37.840 you've ever seen?

00:08:40.220 I don't know

00:08:40.940 how else to interpret it,

00:08:42.100 do you?

00:08:42.860 If it's white liberals

00:08:44.140 who think black people

00:08:45.220 can't succeed

00:08:46.100 without help,

00:08:48.100 but the black people

00:08:49.040 themselves,

00:08:49.960 again,

00:08:50.260 these are averages,

00:08:51.140 right?

00:08:51.360 We're not talking

00:08:51.900 every person

00:08:52.660 in every group.

00:08:53.860 But on average,

00:08:54.800 there's a big difference.

00:08:55.700 a pretty big difference.

00:08:58.440 The black people

00:08:59.120 think that they

00:08:59.680 can succeed

00:09:00.340 and white liberals

00:09:02.180 think maybe not.

00:09:06.160 Now,

00:09:07.000 I've always suspected

00:09:09.080 that the real racists

00:09:12.200 were the liberals

00:09:12.980 who had this

00:09:14.340 point of view

00:09:15.040 because it's hard

00:09:15.960 to hold the point of view

00:09:16.900 that some group

00:09:18.480 needs extra help

00:09:19.980 unless you're also

00:09:21.360 making some assumptions

00:09:22.360 about the people

00:09:23.140 in the group.

00:09:23.700 Now,

00:09:25.560 they would say

00:09:26.340 it's not about

00:09:27.560 the people in the group,

00:09:28.340 it's about the circumstances

00:09:29.980 which they're in,

00:09:31.220 which would be

00:09:32.140 a perfectly good argument.

00:09:33.900 It's just interesting

00:09:34.760 how the biases

00:09:36.460 of the two different groups

00:09:37.680 are not lining up

00:09:38.660 the way you would

00:09:39.180 imagine they would,

00:09:40.860 right?

00:09:41.100 It's kind of opposite

00:09:41.920 of how you imagine.

00:09:42.840 And to the credit,

00:09:45.180 to the credit

00:09:47.040 of black Americans,

00:09:48.140 I do appreciate

00:09:50.780 the fact that

00:09:51.500 black Americans

00:09:52.220 are not putting off

00:09:54.200 responsibility

00:09:54.880 on other people.

00:09:57.200 That's a good sign.

00:09:58.980 That's who you want 0.78

00:09:59.800 in your America.

00:10:00.860 You want Americans 0.61

00:10:01.700 who say,

00:10:02.540 wait a minute,

00:10:03.220 stop telling me

00:10:04.080 you need to help me.

00:10:05.200 How about I figure this

00:10:07.380 out on my own?

00:10:08.580 I don't need your help.

00:10:10.200 That's what I want.

00:10:12.420 Give me some more

00:10:13.280 of those Americans,

00:10:14.580 please.

00:10:14.940 Well, speaking of

00:10:18.080 Ye,

00:10:20.140 the artist

00:10:22.140 who used to be

00:10:22.800 called Kanye,

00:10:24.800 the part two

00:10:25.780 of his interview

00:10:26.380 with Tucker

00:10:26.940 was on,

00:10:27.540 and my goodness,

00:10:30.440 does this man

00:10:31.560 know how to get attention

00:10:32.560 in the best possible way?

00:10:36.760 I've said before,

00:10:37.840 but there are a few people

00:10:39.900 in our culture

00:10:40.760 that you can just

00:10:42.500 feel really confident

00:10:43.740 in calling them

00:10:45.160 a genius.

00:10:46.660 Elon Musk,

00:10:47.940 I feel comfortable

00:10:49.540 calling him a genius.

00:10:52.380 Kanye,

00:10:53.220 I feel very comfortable

00:10:54.340 calling him a genius

00:10:55.300 because his intelligence

00:10:58.820 does expand beyond art.

00:11:01.880 He's a much bigger

00:11:03.000 cultural character.

00:11:05.620 But his importance,

00:11:06.620 I don't think,

00:11:07.060 can be understated.

00:11:09.500 Do you remember when,

00:11:10.480 well,

00:11:12.860 most of you don't,

00:11:13.780 you're not old enough,

00:11:14.780 in the 60s,

00:11:16.800 can you remember

00:11:17.520 if any of you

00:11:18.140 are old enough,

00:11:19.160 the peace sign

00:11:19.980 was political

00:11:21.160 because of the

00:11:22.680 Vietnam War,

00:11:23.400 right?

00:11:23.980 So if you were

00:11:24.580 doing the peace sign

00:11:25.540 or you showed

00:11:26.400 the little peace sign,

00:11:28.000 it was a political

00:11:29.300 statement.

00:11:31.180 And if you were

00:11:32.120 a conservative,

00:11:33.120 you wouldn't want to,

00:11:34.280 maybe you wouldn't

00:11:34.880 want to use it

00:11:35.640 because that would

00:11:36.620 indicate you were

00:11:37.520 maybe on the left.

00:11:41.120 Right?

00:11:41.580 But over time,

00:11:43.340 over time,

00:11:44.440 the Vietnam War

00:11:45.180 fades in our memory

00:11:47.220 and the peace symbol

00:11:48.680 just turns into,

00:11:50.120 well,

00:11:50.260 who doesn't like peace?

00:11:52.180 And plus,

00:11:52.760 the symbol itself

00:11:53.560 is sort of attractive

00:11:55.100 to look at.

00:11:56.580 So,

00:11:57.540 you know,

00:11:57.840 the peace symbol

00:11:58.420 becomes more of

00:11:59.080 just a generic,

00:12:00.320 you know,

00:12:01.300 positive thing.

00:12:02.020 I feel as if

00:12:04.160 that's what

00:12:04.980 Ye did

00:12:06.200 with Black Lives Matter

00:12:07.840 as a slogan

00:12:09.760 and as a visual element.

00:12:14.180 I think Kanye

00:12:15.020 marked the point

00:12:16.780 where it's no longer

00:12:19.080 a political statement.

00:12:22.900 I believe he made it

00:12:24.880 possible

00:12:25.700 that somebody like me

00:12:27.740 could wear this shirt

00:12:30.060 unironically.

00:12:30.840 So I want to make it clear,

00:12:33.560 I'm not wearing this

00:12:34.240 ironically.

00:12:36.080 Why?

00:12:37.160 Well,

00:12:37.500 I'm going to just

00:12:38.360 take a page

00:12:39.000 from my spiritual leader.

00:12:43.900 That's my dog snoring.

00:12:46.180 Can you hear my dog snoring?

00:12:48.780 Anyway,

00:12:49.620 so,

00:12:50.760 so Ye,

00:12:53.440 being my

00:12:54.120 spiritual leader,

00:12:58.720 has essentially

00:13:00.280 made it safe

00:13:01.060 for me to just say

00:13:02.960 what is true

00:13:04.240 and obvious,

00:13:05.620 that black lives matter.

00:13:08.940 Nothing needs to be

00:13:09.860 added to that,

00:13:11.140 right?

00:13:11.580 Because now it's

00:13:12.620 sort of taken out

00:13:13.400 of politics.

00:13:15.340 Once you take it

00:13:16.260 out of politics,

00:13:16.880 I can fully embrace it.

00:13:19.200 Fully embrace it.

00:13:20.600 Yeah,

00:13:21.220 black lives matter.

00:13:22.840 Let's make sure

00:13:23.620 we live that,

00:13:24.340 okay?

00:13:25.420 But,

00:13:26.580 before Ye wore his 0.94

00:13:29.840 White Lives Matter 0.90

00:13:30.940 shirt,

00:13:31.700 I would have said,

00:13:32.620 this is purely political

00:13:33.600 and I don't want to wear

00:13:35.320 a shirt that makes

00:13:36.300 a political statement.

00:13:38.440 I just generally

00:13:39.820 don't wear clothes

00:13:40.620 that make political

00:13:41.280 statements.

00:13:41.840 It wouldn't matter

00:13:42.260 what direction it was.

00:13:43.200 I don't wear political

00:13:44.120 clothes.

00:13:44.960 But now he's taking it

00:13:45.880 out of the political.

00:13:47.160 Now it's art.

00:13:48.560 Who else could have

00:13:49.400 done that?

00:13:49.800 Think about it.

00:13:52.840 All right,

00:13:53.160 I've got to go

00:13:53.680 wake up my dog

00:13:54.480 because I can't

00:13:55.420 even hear myself

00:13:55.900 talking.

00:13:56.800 Hold on.

00:13:57.180 Hold on.

00:14:17.860 There you go.

00:14:20.760 There you go.

00:14:22.020 Yeah,

00:14:40.920 she's old.

00:14:41.360 All right,

00:14:52.300 I'm back.

00:14:53.520 I'll put on my

00:14:54.260 microphones.

00:14:55.120 Bear with me

00:14:55.580 for a second.

00:15:00.960 I couldn't even

00:15:01.680 hear myself

00:15:02.320 thinking.

00:15:04.320 As loud as it

00:15:05.220 was where you are,

00:15:07.120 it was like a jet

00:15:08.780 engine in the room.

00:15:09.600 All right.

00:15:15.240 So,

00:15:17.440 let's talk about

00:15:18.000 Kanye some more.

00:15:19.220 I don't know if you

00:15:19.920 caught this,

00:15:20.500 but in one of the

00:15:21.120 clips,

00:15:22.400 he said the

00:15:23.100 following sentence,

00:15:24.120 and there was no

00:15:24.640 follow-up to this,

00:15:25.540 it was just dropped

00:15:26.280 in.

00:15:27.880 Did you catch this?

00:15:30.040 Kanye said at one

00:15:31.040 point,

00:15:31.460 and it was sort of

00:15:32.020 not really even

00:15:32.860 as connected to the

00:15:34.820 question as you

00:15:35.560 thought maybe it

00:15:36.220 should have been,

00:15:36.620 but Kanye said

00:15:38.460 if Trump was the

00:15:39.780 first black

00:15:40.460 president,

00:15:42.400 that he,

00:15:43.060 Kanye,

00:15:43.460 would be the

00:15:43.940 first Hispanic

00:15:45.020 president.

00:15:47.080 Did you hear that?

00:15:48.660 He said he'd be the

00:15:49.760 first Hispanic

00:15:50.520 president,

00:15:51.360 and then he said

00:15:52.220 why?

00:15:53.560 Do you know why?

00:15:54.240 Because he says

00:15:56.080 they,

00:15:56.800 on average,

00:15:57.400 they share his

00:15:58.580 views about God

00:15:59.960 and country

00:16:00.500 and hard work,

00:16:01.920 I guess.

00:16:02.780 So basically,

00:16:03.520 he was saying

00:16:04.040 that,

00:16:05.000 you know,

00:16:05.520 so the jokes

00:16:06.700 on the Democrats

00:16:07.560 that the people

00:16:09.140 coming into the

00:16:09.880 country that they

00:16:11.680 want to bring in,

00:16:12.820 they're all

00:16:13.320 Republicans.

00:16:15.380 They're just

00:16:16.180 Republicans in

00:16:17.120 waiting.

00:16:17.420 And I was the

00:16:21.420 first one to

00:16:22.000 warn you,

00:16:23.020 I think.

00:16:24.380 Tell me if I

00:16:25.000 was.

00:16:25.740 Am I the first

00:16:26.500 one to warn

00:16:27.080 you because I'm

00:16:29.420 marinated in

00:16:30.320 immigrant culture

00:16:31.300 where I live?

00:16:32.880 And I started to

00:16:34.180 notice this a while

00:16:35.040 ago.

00:16:36.360 Whenever I'd be in

00:16:37.340 a private

00:16:37.740 conversation,

00:16:39.080 they'd be pro-Trump.

00:16:40.720 And I'd think to

00:16:41.340 myself,

00:16:42.440 well,

00:16:42.660 that's probably

00:16:43.060 just a one-off.

00:16:45.300 I can't believe

00:16:46.060 that's a common

00:16:47.040 view.

00:16:48.620 And then I

00:16:49.740 think four out

00:16:50.360 of five people

00:16:51.120 born in other

00:16:52.000 countries would

00:16:52.660 I would talk to

00:16:53.180 them privately

00:16:53.740 because they

00:16:54.560 won't say it

00:16:55.000 out loud.

00:16:55.800 They literally

00:16:56.660 whisper.

00:16:58.000 Literally

00:16:58.440 whisper.

00:17:00.460 You know,

00:17:01.320 I do like

00:17:02.780 Trump.

00:17:05.180 So Kanye,

00:17:06.260 of course,

00:17:06.600 has noticed as

00:17:07.340 well.

00:17:09.080 And I think

00:17:10.200 that was a

00:17:10.560 funny comment.

00:17:11.860 All right.

00:17:14.180 The other

00:17:14.800 thing that

00:17:15.180 Kanye was

00:17:15.720 talking about,

00:17:16.420 or yay,

00:17:17.040 is that he

00:17:19.780 couldn't say

00:17:20.440 that he liked

00:17:21.180 Trump for

00:17:21.880 years because

00:17:22.660 he was bullied

00:17:23.300 in Hollywood

00:17:23.860 and he also

00:17:25.340 didn't want to

00:17:26.000 make things

00:17:26.440 worse for his

00:17:27.080 children.

00:17:28.220 And he makes

00:17:29.040 a great point

00:17:29.860 that even as

00:17:31.580 someone who is

00:17:32.560 prominent and

00:17:34.000 successful as he

00:17:34.920 is, and he's an

00:17:36.380 artist, so in

00:17:37.500 theory he could

00:17:38.220 say more than

00:17:39.040 other people

00:17:39.520 could say,

00:17:40.260 even he did

00:17:40.980 not have free

00:17:41.580 speech because

00:17:43.620 he had to worry

00:17:45.000 about the effect

00:17:45.840 of his children

00:17:46.460 just for saying

00:17:47.980 sort of normal

00:17:48.980 political things,

00:17:50.340 not even crazy

00:17:51.340 stuff, just

00:17:52.500 normal political

00:17:53.660 stuff, and he

00:17:54.660 was afraid for

00:17:55.420 his children.

00:17:57.420 Think about

00:17:58.240 that.

00:17:59.240 But apparently

00:17:59.700 now, for

00:18:00.880 whatever reason,

00:18:01.740 he's more open

00:18:03.280 about it.

00:18:04.200 But I can

00:18:04.880 confirm that as

00:18:06.580 an artist,

00:18:07.100 that when I

00:18:10.060 first got

00:18:10.640 married, my

00:18:11.100 first marriage,

00:18:12.500 I had step

00:18:13.060 kids in my

00:18:13.560 first marriage,

00:18:14.600 and the first

00:18:16.040 thing that

00:18:16.380 happened was I

00:18:17.080 couldn't do my

00:18:18.340 job as soon as

00:18:19.940 I got married.

00:18:21.800 I think I can

00:18:23.360 tell you this.

00:18:25.060 Yeah, I don't

00:18:25.520 think there's any

00:18:26.000 reason I can't

00:18:26.540 tell you this.

00:18:27.540 Correct me if I've

00:18:28.520 ever told you this

00:18:29.220 before.

00:18:31.480 So when I got

00:18:33.260 married, my

00:18:34.980 first wife was 0.98

00:18:36.720 at prior

00:18:38.340 marriage, and

00:18:39.700 had two kids,

00:18:40.620 and was

00:18:41.560 finishing up

00:18:42.340 that marriage,

00:18:44.060 part of their

00:18:45.040 legal agreement,

00:18:47.340 which sort of

00:18:48.000 dragged on for

00:18:48.660 a while, was

00:18:49.940 that the judge

00:18:52.400 agreed with her

00:18:53.500 ex-husband that

00:18:55.560 her new husband

00:18:56.460 could not write

00:18:57.500 about his family

00:18:58.280 life if it

00:18:59.120 involved mentioning

00:19:00.120 the children.

00:19:03.100 So just hold

00:19:04.440 this in your

00:19:04.880 head.

00:19:05.140 that two

00:19:06.720 people who

00:19:07.240 were not

00:19:07.660 me, so

00:19:08.820 I'm not

00:19:09.180 involved in

00:19:09.700 this.

00:19:09.960 There's a

00:19:10.320 judge, and

00:19:11.960 there's an

00:19:12.520 ex-husband to

00:19:14.120 my wife, a

00:19:15.900 guy I

00:19:16.260 basically hardly

00:19:17.140 know, right,

00:19:18.300 at the time.

00:19:19.440 And those two

00:19:20.280 could agree what

00:19:21.940 I could write

00:19:22.620 about.

00:19:23.480 Not me.

00:19:24.340 I didn't sign

00:19:24.900 anything.

00:19:27.680 Think about

00:19:28.320 that.

00:19:29.260 I mean, just

00:19:30.080 hold that in

00:19:30.660 your head, how

00:19:32.500 messed up that

00:19:33.180 is.

00:19:34.380 That I was

00:19:35.260 legally barred

00:19:36.220 from doing my

00:19:36.960 job, because

00:19:37.860 you know what

00:19:38.160 my job is?

00:19:39.740 When I'm

00:19:40.320 writing or

00:19:40.840 doing the

00:19:41.180 comic, it's

00:19:41.700 mostly, it's

00:19:42.660 autobiographical.

00:19:44.340 When I write, I

00:19:45.140 write about the

00:19:45.820 things that

00:19:46.220 happened to me.

00:19:47.520 That's what I

00:19:48.040 do for a living.

00:19:49.140 I actually got

00:19:49.780 married, and it

00:19:50.940 closed down my

00:19:51.640 ability to write

00:19:52.440 for several years.

00:19:54.240 And I did not

00:19:55.380 write about the

00:19:56.140 things that were,

00:19:57.240 really would have

00:19:58.080 been good to write

00:19:58.780 about.

00:19:59.100 Like, the

00:19:59.840 things that are

00:20:01.220 salient, and

00:20:02.200 everybody would

00:20:03.880 recognize, you

00:20:04.700 know, family types

00:20:05.860 of interactions

00:20:06.540 and stuff.

00:20:07.140 Couldn't do

00:20:07.460 any of it.

00:20:08.760 It just destroyed

00:20:09.820 my career for

00:20:11.000 years.

00:20:11.980 And I also

00:20:12.600 couldn't be

00:20:13.200 provocative in

00:20:14.020 general, because

00:20:15.820 of the effect it

00:20:16.640 might have on

00:20:17.100 children.

00:20:18.260 True story.

00:20:19.440 And also, when

00:20:20.180 my parents were

00:20:20.940 alive, I also

00:20:22.960 kept myself under

00:20:24.660 the, you know,

00:20:26.120 the trouble level

00:20:27.300 that you wouldn't

00:20:28.020 want your parents

00:20:28.680 ever find out

00:20:29.480 about.

00:20:31.000 But now they're

00:20:32.100 both gone.

00:20:33.640 And the

00:20:34.320 children are old

00:20:34.980 enough that, you

00:20:35.640 know, nothing I

00:20:36.180 do would bother

00:20:36.680 them at this

00:20:37.280 point.

00:20:39.240 So, I'm

00:20:41.460 basically free.

00:20:44.300 If I don't

00:20:45.320 mind getting

00:20:45.820 canceled economically,

00:20:47.540 which is, of

00:20:48.300 course, happening,

00:20:50.000 I'm free.

00:20:51.680 Or close to

00:20:52.340 free.

00:20:53.100 I'm freer than

00:20:53.880 you are.

00:20:55.040 I can say more

00:20:56.080 than you can say.

00:20:58.680 So, here's an

00:20:59.780 interesting story.

00:21:01.860 So, you know,

00:21:02.720 over in Ukraine,

00:21:03.980 there's this area

00:21:04.940 called Crimea

00:21:05.680 that in 20...

00:21:08.640 What year was it

00:21:10.300 that Russia 0.72

00:21:11.460 captured it back

00:21:13.020 from Ukraine?

00:21:14.780 2014?

00:21:16.320 2014.

00:21:17.920 So, the thing

00:21:19.080 you need to know

00:21:19.620 is that Crimea

00:21:20.200 has, you know,

00:21:20.940 gone back and

00:21:21.580 forth between

00:21:22.300 Ukraine and

00:21:23.620 Russia ownership.

00:21:25.500 But, at the

00:21:26.780 moment, Putin

00:21:28.280 owns it.

00:21:29.720 Now, did you

00:21:30.940 think that Putin

00:21:31.800 was a badass

00:21:32.840 before?

00:21:35.300 But, remember

00:21:36.100 John Brennan,

00:21:37.460 who used to

00:21:39.700 head up the

00:21:40.080 CIA, so you

00:21:41.020 know he's

00:21:41.420 totally credible.

00:21:42.520 He wouldn't

00:21:42.860 lie to you.

00:21:43.940 John Brennan

00:21:44.520 told us that

00:21:45.280 it was probably

00:21:46.520 Putin who

00:21:47.220 blew up that

00:21:47.900 pipeline between

00:21:48.780 Russia and

00:21:49.360 Germany.

00:21:50.500 And, even

00:21:50.800 though it was

00:21:51.360 Putin's own

00:21:52.280 asset, in a

00:21:53.140 sense, something

00:21:53.880 that he could

00:21:54.440 use for making

00:21:55.580 money, that he

00:21:57.840 did it to show

00:21:58.600 that his reach

00:21:59.520 could extend

00:22:00.220 anywhere, and

00:22:01.860 that he was a

00:22:03.000 badass and he

00:22:03.680 would blow up

00:22:04.140 anything.

00:22:04.900 Not only would

00:22:05.620 he blow up

00:22:06.140 anything, but

00:22:08.160 he would blow

00:22:09.080 up his own

00:22:10.100 pipeline.

00:22:10.880 He was such a

00:22:11.500 badass. 0.58

00:22:12.620 And I thought

00:22:13.220 to myself,

00:22:13.720 well, that can't

00:22:15.400 be true.

00:22:16.900 I thought to

00:22:17.520 myself, John

00:22:18.300 Brennan, you're

00:22:19.600 so wrong.

00:22:20.980 There's no

00:22:21.740 realistic way

00:22:22.980 that he's

00:22:24.380 blowing up

00:22:24.840 his own

00:22:25.180 asset.

00:22:26.500 And then I

00:22:27.080 saw that the

00:22:27.640 bridge between

00:22:28.380 Crimea and

00:22:29.020 Russia got 0.90

00:22:29.640 taken out.

00:22:31.320 And I

00:22:31.880 thought, my

00:22:32.300 God, it's

00:22:33.840 true.

00:22:34.780 John Brennan

00:22:35.480 was right.

00:22:37.000 Putin is

00:22:37.460 such a

00:22:37.900 badass, he's 0.85

00:22:38.500 now attacking

00:22:39.160 all of his

00:22:39.780 own assets.

00:22:41.280 He might

00:22:41.720 start bombing

00:22:42.300 his own

00:22:42.720 military to

00:22:43.620 scare us

00:22:44.080 pretty soon.

00:22:45.620 I don't

00:22:46.340 know, but

00:22:47.660 I worry that

00:22:49.620 Putin will

00:22:51.100 use a

00:22:52.100 nuclear weapon

00:22:52.800 on Moscow

00:22:53.500 to really

00:22:55.100 show us

00:22:55.560 he's serious.

00:22:57.720 Have you

00:22:58.280 ever seen

00:22:58.700 any of those

00:22:59.560 movies where

00:23:00.380 the bad

00:23:01.680 guy has

00:23:03.120 captured the

00:23:03.720 good guy

00:23:04.200 and the

00:23:06.200 writer wants

00:23:06.920 to show you

00:23:07.420 that the

00:23:07.740 bad guy is

00:23:08.380 really bad?

00:23:09.900 The bad

00:23:10.360 guy is not

00:23:10.880 just ordinary

00:23:11.540 bad, the

00:23:12.000 bad guy is

00:23:12.460 really bad.

00:23:12.960 So the

00:23:13.180 bad guy

00:23:13.620 murders his

00:23:14.960 own employee

00:23:16.120 right in front

00:23:17.600 of you.

00:23:18.380 Well, that's

00:23:19.160 bad.

00:23:20.080 That's what

00:23:20.740 Putin's 0.59

00:23:21.060 doing.

00:23:21.980 Same play.

00:23:23.420 So Putin

00:23:23.860 first takes

00:23:24.440 out his

00:23:24.800 own pipeline

00:23:26.400 asset.

00:23:27.240 I don't

00:23:27.520 know the

00:23:27.820 ownership,

00:23:28.520 it doesn't

00:23:28.840 matter, but

00:23:29.320 it was his

00:23:29.740 asset.

00:23:30.860 Takes out

00:23:31.260 that asset,

00:23:31.840 now obviously,

00:23:33.340 I mean, I

00:23:33.840 don't need

00:23:34.200 John Brennan

00:23:34.800 to tell me

00:23:35.320 this, because

00:23:36.480 I can do

00:23:36.920 some of the

00:23:37.420 analysis myself,

00:23:38.520 right?

00:23:38.740 I don't need

00:23:39.220 John Brennan

00:23:39.760 for everything.

00:23:41.340 So it's

00:23:41.900 obvious that

00:23:42.520 Putin is,

00:23:43.700 because really

00:23:44.200 John Brennan

00:23:44.760 actually predicted

00:23:46.000 it, didn't he?

00:23:47.240 Brennan actually

00:23:47.900 said this might

00:23:49.220 not be the end

00:23:49.920 of it, he

00:23:50.280 might keep

00:23:51.480 attacking stuff

00:23:52.260 like this.

00:23:53.260 So it looks

00:23:53.700 like Putin

00:23:54.200 has probably

00:23:55.040 attacked his

00:23:56.520 own most

00:23:57.240 important asset

00:23:58.000 to Crimea,

00:24:00.000 which some

00:24:00.540 people would

00:24:01.280 say would

00:24:01.560 cause him to

00:24:02.140 lose Crimea

00:24:02.920 because they

00:24:03.460 can't resupply

00:24:04.140 it.

00:24:05.120 But I think

00:24:06.340 the bigger

00:24:06.980 point is that

00:24:07.780 he's showing

00:24:08.300 us what a

00:24:09.260 badass he 0.88

00:24:09.940 is.

00:24:11.340 So Putin

00:24:11.820 is now

00:24:12.240 attacking his

00:24:12.900 own assets,

00:24:14.560 and I do

00:24:15.600 worry about

00:24:16.040 him using a

00:24:16.940 tactical nuclear

00:24:17.860 weapon on

00:24:18.500 Moscow.

00:24:18.900 because wouldn't

00:24:20.700 that scare

00:24:21.220 you?

00:24:22.460 I mean, I'd

00:24:22.840 be like, oh,

00:24:23.480 this guy, he's

00:24:25.280 nuking his own

00:24:26.020 city.

00:24:26.900 We need to

00:24:27.680 give him

00:24:27.980 anything he

00:24:28.560 wants.

00:24:29.560 Anything he

00:24:30.080 wants.

00:24:31.200 So, I

00:24:32.540 don't know,

00:24:33.680 you might have

00:24:34.240 to take out a

00:24:35.000 few other

00:24:35.440 Russian cities

00:24:36.220 before Ukraine

00:24:37.140 is willing to

00:24:37.700 negotiate, but

00:24:39.240 I think if he

00:24:40.140 takes out, you 0.96

00:24:42.360 know, it's

00:24:42.540 really just a

00:24:43.040 matter of will

00:24:43.620 at this point.

00:24:44.280 it's a

00:24:45.340 question of

00:24:45.820 how many

00:24:46.460 Russian cities

00:24:47.400 would Putin

00:24:48.700 be willing to

00:24:49.960 nuke before

00:24:52.140 Ukraine surrendered

00:24:53.120 and of fear.

00:24:55.380 I think between

00:24:56.660 four and five.

00:24:58.700 So maybe

00:24:59.180 Moscow, St.

00:25:00.280 Petersburg, and

00:25:01.980 three other

00:25:03.260 Russian cities

00:25:04.220 that I can't

00:25:05.160 think of because

00:25:05.860 I don't know

00:25:06.600 anything about

00:25:07.160 Russian cities.

00:25:07.900 But I think

00:25:09.900 four to five

00:25:10.880 Russian cities

00:25:11.620 after Putin

00:25:12.320 nukes them.

00:25:15.000 If I were

00:25:15.800 Zelensky, I

00:25:16.620 would just

00:25:16.980 surrender at

00:25:17.700 that point.

00:25:18.740 I'd be like,

00:25:19.260 you're crazy. 0.94

00:25:20.360 Surrender.

00:25:22.120 So Russia is 0.77

00:25:23.140 closer to winning

00:25:23.780 this war than

00:25:24.320 you think.

00:25:26.840 Hat tip to

00:25:27.580 Joe Moore,

00:25:29.240 who first

00:25:30.080 noticed this

00:25:30.960 Putin might

00:25:31.980 attack his

00:25:32.500 own bridge

00:25:33.000 idea, which

00:25:33.820 is pretty

00:25:34.120 clever. 0.51

00:25:34.400 Did I, I

00:25:38.340 told you

00:25:38.660 yesterday that

00:25:39.500 apparently

00:25:40.320 Ukraine has 0.72

00:25:41.040 a lot of

00:25:41.460 lithium?

00:25:44.200 Unexploited

00:25:44.720 so far?

00:25:45.560 Like a lot

00:25:46.440 of lithium?

00:25:47.840 Like we

00:25:48.520 really need

00:25:49.000 that lithium?

00:25:51.360 Afghanistan

00:25:51.880 had a lot

00:25:52.440 of lithium.

00:25:54.560 Huh.

00:25:56.360 Do you

00:25:56.940 remember when

00:25:57.440 we always

00:25:57.900 used to get

00:25:58.340 into wars

00:25:58.980 wherever there

00:26:00.260 was oil?

00:26:01.980 It'd be like,

00:26:02.600 oh, there's

00:26:03.120 oil there, we're

00:26:03.780 going to get

00:26:04.060 an ore, and

00:26:06.000 now it's

00:26:06.340 lithium.

00:26:07.920 Apparently

00:26:08.320 lithium's the

00:26:09.100 new oil.

00:26:10.320 Now, there's

00:26:10.740 nobody official

00:26:11.540 or smart,

00:26:13.100 well, I

00:26:13.460 wouldn't say

00:26:13.800 smart, but

00:26:14.780 there's nobody

00:26:15.140 official who's

00:26:16.980 saying that

00:26:17.440 lithium has

00:26:18.000 anything to

00:26:18.620 do with why

00:26:19.100 we're in

00:26:19.520 Ukraine.

00:26:20.780 It's just

00:26:21.400 sort of a

00:26:21.760 lucky coincidence,

00:26:22.700 isn't it?

00:26:23.740 Remember I

00:26:24.360 told you that

00:26:25.080 follow the

00:26:25.960 money works

00:26:26.660 even when it

00:26:27.380 doesn't make

00:26:28.740 any sense,

00:26:30.080 even when it

00:26:30.680 shouldn't?

00:26:31.900 It just

00:26:32.280 always works.

00:26:33.320 Huh.

00:26:34.060 Isn't

00:26:34.380 that weird?

00:26:35.520 Isn't

00:26:35.800 that weird?

00:26:37.000 That there

00:26:38.120 are trillions

00:26:38.680 of dollars

00:26:39.280 worth of

00:26:39.820 lithium that

00:26:40.440 we need to

00:26:41.540 advance society,

00:26:43.200 and it's in

00:26:44.080 Ukraine, and

00:26:45.920 we're putting

00:26:46.440 absolutely

00:26:47.080 everything we

00:26:48.000 can into

00:26:48.520 Ukraine to

00:26:49.480 make sure we

00:26:50.660 still have

00:26:51.060 access to

00:26:51.900 Ukraine.

00:26:54.200 Huh.

00:26:55.320 What a weird

00:26:56.180 coincidence that

00:26:57.040 it's exactly in

00:26:58.020 our financial

00:26:58.660 interest, too.

00:27:00.120 What about

00:27:00.900 that?

00:27:01.460 Huh.

00:27:03.080 Total

00:27:03.560 coincidence.

00:27:09.580 The other

00:27:10.280 thing Kanye

00:27:11.040 was saying is

00:27:11.680 that his kids

00:27:12.200 are being

00:27:12.500 indoctrinated in

00:27:13.600 schools.

00:27:15.460 They're learning

00:27:16.160 that Kwanzaa is

00:27:17.180 a thing but

00:27:17.680 Christmas isn't.

00:27:19.360 I don't know how

00:27:20.440 true that is,

00:27:21.300 but I don't know.

00:27:23.720 So, yeah,

00:27:24.840 I'm hearing Kanye

00:27:25.620 say that the kids

00:27:26.380 are being brainwashed

00:27:27.280 in school.

00:27:28.880 He's right.

00:27:30.060 I mean, he's

00:27:30.380 100% right, but

00:27:32.340 it's more powerful

00:27:33.220 when he says it.

00:27:34.420 Now, there's a

00:27:34.920 story today that

00:27:35.740 PayPal is updating

00:27:36.960 its user

00:27:38.100 agreement, and

00:27:40.600 it would allow

00:27:41.680 them to take up

00:27:42.520 to $2,500 out

00:27:43.940 of your account

00:27:44.720 if you do

00:27:46.940 various bad

00:27:47.660 things, and

00:27:48.980 one of those

00:27:49.440 bad things is

00:27:50.200 spread disinformation.

00:27:53.900 What?

00:27:54.500 What?

00:27:56.600 That's right.

00:27:58.600 PayPal's new

00:27:59.220 agreement says

00:28:00.060 that if they

00:28:01.580 accuse you of

00:28:02.440 spreading disinformation,

00:28:04.220 they can just

00:28:05.340 take money out

00:28:06.060 of your account

00:28:06.600 and keep it

00:28:07.320 because you

00:28:08.380 spread disinformation.

00:28:14.180 I wonder if

00:28:15.080 that is ESG.

00:28:16.540 That's a good

00:28:17.200 question.

00:28:18.020 Do you think

00:28:18.380 that's ESG?

00:28:20.260 Or is that,

00:28:21.160 you know,

00:28:21.540 somehow a cousin

00:28:22.300 of ESG, the

00:28:23.100 forces that are

00:28:24.060 causing this?

00:28:25.720 Now, you

00:28:28.960 want to hear

00:28:29.280 an even better

00:28:29.880 story?

00:28:31.420 Did you know

00:28:32.140 that credit

00:28:32.640 card processing

00:28:33.600 companies that

00:28:35.480 process the

00:28:36.640 various credit

00:28:37.440 cards from

00:28:37.920 different companies,

00:28:38.980 so it's not a

00:28:39.760 credit card

00:28:40.240 company, but a

00:28:41.800 company that

00:28:42.340 credit card

00:28:43.000 companies use

00:28:43.860 between the

00:28:45.540 retailer and

00:28:46.900 them.

00:28:48.440 So there's a

00:28:49.000 processing company

00:28:49.860 that sits between

00:28:50.580 the business and

00:28:51.320 the credit card.

00:28:52.420 The processing

00:28:53.100 company, in

00:28:54.540 some cases,

00:28:56.120 will give you

00:28:56.700 a contract that

00:28:57.900 will have lots

00:28:58.560 of fine print,

00:29:00.040 and some of

00:29:01.140 the fine print

00:29:01.760 says, we can

00:29:03.280 take as much

00:29:05.400 money as we

00:29:06.100 want out of

00:29:07.320 your checking

00:29:07.740 account and

00:29:08.860 not give you

00:29:09.480 a reason.

00:29:10.700 We simply have

00:29:11.540 to say that you

00:29:12.700 did something bad

00:29:13.740 and accuse you.

00:29:15.460 And then we

00:29:15.920 have the right

00:29:16.560 to take as much

00:29:17.860 money as we

00:29:18.520 want out of

00:29:19.060 your account

00:29:19.520 forever.

00:29:22.600 I once owned

00:29:24.240 a business that

00:29:24.880 signed that

00:29:25.380 contract.

00:29:27.300 Because, you

00:29:27.980 know, a credit

00:29:28.900 card processing

00:29:30.100 company, who

00:29:31.160 reads the fine

00:29:32.480 print?

00:29:33.680 Nobody.

00:29:35.040 Like, probably

00:29:35.560 not one person

00:29:36.380 has ever read

00:29:37.120 that fine print.

00:29:38.620 And what do

00:29:39.180 you think

00:29:39.420 happened?

00:29:41.220 Sooner or

00:29:41.860 later, they

00:29:43.260 claimed that

00:29:44.820 something we did

00:29:45.900 caused a

00:29:46.800 vulnerability in

00:29:48.920 the user data

00:29:51.100 or something.

00:29:52.220 And that the

00:29:52.740 vulnerability in

00:29:53.520 our system, in

00:29:54.500 the restaurant as

00:29:55.540 it was, the

00:29:56.340 vulnerability in

00:29:57.040 our system caused

00:29:58.500 a larger

00:29:59.140 vulnerability that

00:30:00.780 caused a six

00:30:01.700 figure loss, and

00:30:02.840 they started to

00:30:03.500 drain six figures,

00:30:05.100 that's over

00:30:05.600 $100,000, I

00:30:07.340 think it was a

00:30:07.760 few hundred

00:30:08.100 thousand dollars,

00:30:09.220 out of my

00:30:09.780 checking account,

00:30:11.040 meaning the

00:30:11.500 business checking

00:30:12.140 account, without

00:30:14.040 notice.

00:30:15.900 so we

00:30:18.500 immediately

00:30:18.880 contact the

00:30:19.640 lawyer and

00:30:20.720 say, uh, uh,

00:30:21.500 what's going on

00:30:22.080 here?

00:30:22.480 Because, you

00:30:22.820 know, they, when

00:30:23.720 we contacted the

00:30:24.580 company, or the

00:30:25.740 bank, or however

00:30:26.440 we found out what

00:30:27.620 was happening,

00:30:28.540 because our

00:30:29.380 checking account

00:30:31.440 went to zero.

00:30:32.560 This is an

00:30:33.220 active business,

00:30:34.740 an active business,

00:30:35.900 and our checking

00:30:36.380 account went to

00:30:36.980 zero.

00:30:37.640 And every time a

00:30:38.640 deposit went in,

00:30:39.880 it immediately came

00:30:40.720 out and went to

00:30:41.420 this company.

00:30:43.520 So they got, I

00:30:44.800 don't know,

00:30:45.900 a few tens of

00:30:46.760 thousands, I

00:30:47.380 think, before we

00:30:49.180 figured out what

00:30:50.020 was going on and

00:30:50.620 shut the account.

00:30:53.120 Then they sued

00:30:54.260 us for six

00:30:56.920 figures, I

00:30:57.580 forget what it

00:30:58.100 was.

00:31:00.540 And they said,

00:31:01.880 basically, there's

00:31:03.160 nothing you can do

00:31:04.000 because you signed

00:31:04.740 the contract, and

00:31:05.540 it's just, it's

00:31:06.040 black and white.

00:31:06.940 You actually signed

00:31:08.140 the contract, which

00:31:09.080 we did, this is

00:31:10.400 true, that said,

00:31:11.740 you can take money

00:31:12.460 out of our account

00:31:13.140 just because you

00:31:13.900 claim something

00:31:14.560 happened with no

00:31:16.080 evidence shown.

00:31:17.040 You just have to

00:31:17.620 claim it.

00:31:20.720 So what do you

00:31:21.400 think happened?

00:31:23.380 Well, I can't

00:31:24.520 tell you exactly

00:31:25.180 what happened

00:31:25.780 because I had to

00:31:26.620 sign an agreement

00:31:27.320 saying that I

00:31:27.980 wouldn't talk about

00:31:28.620 it.

00:31:29.540 It's part of the

00:31:30.340 settlement.

00:31:31.280 So I can't tell

00:31:31.920 you what companies

00:31:33.340 were involved.

00:31:34.800 I can't tell you

00:31:35.540 how it ended.

00:31:36.040 I can tell you

00:31:41.640 that I didn't

00:31:42.180 pay any more

00:31:42.680 money except to

00:31:43.760 my lawyer, and

00:31:45.980 the lawyers did a

00:31:46.700 good job.

00:31:47.860 I can tell you

00:31:48.400 that.

00:31:49.580 But I'll also

00:31:52.760 tell you that

00:31:54.540 sooner or later

00:31:55.120 I'm going to

00:31:55.600 crash that 1.00

00:31:56.140 fucking company.

00:31:58.780 I'm going to

00:31:59.420 destroy them.

00:32:01.100 And it might

00:32:01.860 wait a few years.

00:32:04.240 It might wait a few

00:32:05.060 years, and I'll

00:32:05.800 have to find some

00:32:06.460 way to do it

00:32:06.960 without naming

00:32:07.580 them in this

00:32:08.440 situation since I

00:32:09.640 signed an agreement.

00:32:10.960 But I'm going to

00:32:11.660 find another way to

00:32:12.520 do it.

00:32:13.700 I'm going to

00:32:14.240 find a back door.

00:32:16.120 I'm going to

00:32:16.780 fucking own them

00:32:17.520 however long it

00:32:19.340 takes.

00:32:20.300 But I can't do it

00:32:21.080 yet.

00:32:22.240 But I'm very

00:32:22.860 patient.

00:32:23.980 I'm very patient.

00:32:25.360 And I'm going to

00:32:26.220 fucking take their

00:32:27.440 nuts off.

00:32:29.420 Eventually.

00:32:30.500 It's a very big

00:32:31.140 company.

00:32:31.540 It's one you've

00:32:31.940 heard of.

00:32:33.400 But when I'm done

00:32:34.320 with them, maybe

00:32:34.860 you won't hear

00:32:35.760 about them.

00:32:38.260 All right.

00:32:43.080 Chris Silliza,

00:32:44.340 who writes for

00:32:45.340 CNN, was

00:32:48.780 most famous,

00:32:50.400 in my opinion,

00:32:51.140 for doing

00:32:51.900 anti-Trump

00:32:52.660 commentary during

00:32:54.300 the Trump

00:32:54.640 administration.

00:32:55.760 Now, I don't

00:32:56.200 know if this is

00:32:56.880 a sign of the

00:32:58.560 new CNN

00:32:59.160 direction or

00:33:00.140 not.

00:33:00.820 But his

00:33:01.340 opinion piece

00:33:02.020 today, he's

00:33:04.200 talking about

00:33:04.680 how Biden's

00:33:05.420 popularity is

00:33:06.280 genuinely bad.

00:33:08.220 Basically, it's

00:33:08.980 worse than

00:33:09.400 everybody's, except

00:33:11.100 Trump's at some

00:33:11.960 point.

00:33:13.200 And with this

00:33:14.600 bad approval, you'd

00:33:15.920 expect something

00:33:16.540 like losing 37

00:33:18.080 seats or more in

00:33:19.920 the midterms.

00:33:21.200 So, I don't

00:33:22.980 know.

00:33:23.980 Do you think it's

00:33:24.780 going to go exactly

00:33:25.620 the way it looks

00:33:26.400 like it's going to

00:33:27.020 go?

00:33:27.200 that Biden's

00:33:28.840 popularity will

00:33:29.660 cause a massive

00:33:31.100 shift in the

00:33:32.700 House?

00:33:35.520 Everything says

00:33:36.620 it's going to go

00:33:37.220 this way.

00:33:38.560 But are you

00:33:39.420 concerned at all

00:33:40.420 that something

00:33:43.720 who knows what

00:33:45.300 might change

00:33:48.740 this obvious

00:33:49.400 direction?

00:33:50.680 It could be

00:33:51.620 because the

00:33:52.060 elections are so

00:33:52.740 fortified.

00:33:53.640 Yeah.

00:33:53.940 They might be

00:33:54.460 fortified.

00:33:57.380 I don't know.

00:33:58.920 I just don't

00:34:00.140 believe in the

00:34:01.540 obvious happening

00:34:02.400 anymore.

00:34:03.700 Just in general,

00:34:05.380 if every time it

00:34:06.240 was obvious

00:34:06.720 something's going

00:34:07.380 to happen, but

00:34:08.360 it's months away,

00:34:09.940 if you bet

00:34:10.740 against it, how

00:34:11.980 often would you

00:34:12.540 be right?

00:34:14.060 What if you just

00:34:14.800 bet against the

00:34:15.900 obvious every

00:34:16.920 time?

00:34:18.540 You'd be right a

00:34:19.480 lot.

00:34:20.760 You'd be right a

00:34:21.360 lot.

00:34:21.640 Do you know

00:34:24.120 that my most

00:34:24.880 shocking

00:34:27.220 predictions were

00:34:28.680 all the ones

00:34:29.140 where I just

00:34:29.580 bet against the

00:34:30.320 obvious?

00:34:31.740 I bet that

00:34:32.480 Trump would

00:34:32.920 win when

00:34:33.600 everybody bet

00:34:34.240 he was a

00:34:34.640 clown.

00:34:36.960 So I bet

00:34:37.780 that Ukraine 0.91

00:34:38.820 would kick

00:34:39.580 Russia's ass 0.87

00:34:40.440 when it was

00:34:41.760 obvious that

00:34:42.280 wasn't going

00:34:42.700 to happen.

00:34:43.740 Obvious,

00:34:44.340 right?

00:34:44.940 What could be

00:34:45.700 more obvious

00:34:46.440 than the Russian 0.93

00:34:47.680 RB would win

00:34:48.540 against Ukraine?

00:34:49.820 All the experts

00:34:50.480 said so.

00:34:50.980 So I bet

00:34:52.220 against the

00:34:52.620 obvious.

00:34:53.880 Who was

00:34:54.280 right?

00:34:54.940 So far, I'm

00:34:55.700 the only one

00:34:56.220 right.

00:34:57.000 In the whole

00:34:57.720 fucking world, 0.97

00:34:58.660 I'm the only

00:34:59.320 one who got

00:34:59.760 that right.

00:35:01.160 By the way,

00:35:01.840 can you do a

00:35:02.440 fact check?

00:35:03.740 Can you find

00:35:04.440 anybody,

00:35:06.020 anybody,

00:35:07.700 let's say

00:35:08.340 anybody who's a

00:35:09.280 public figure

00:35:10.500 or an expert

00:35:11.200 who said that

00:35:12.960 Ukraine actually

00:35:14.040 would come out

00:35:15.720 well compared to

00:35:16.540 the Russian

00:35:17.000 military in this

00:35:17.980 particular thing?

00:35:19.800 Did anybody

00:35:20.280 else say that?

00:35:21.980 Malcolm

00:35:22.500 Nance.

00:35:24.080 Oh, okay.

00:35:25.660 Well, just

00:35:26.220 Malcolm Nance

00:35:27.080 and me, I

00:35:27.560 guess.

00:35:29.940 All right, but

00:35:30.600 now imagine if

00:35:32.340 you had put no

00:35:33.120 thinking into

00:35:33.920 these predictions

00:35:34.600 and all you did

00:35:36.180 was predict that

00:35:37.140 whatever we think

00:35:37.960 is true will be 0.91

00:35:38.760 the opposite.

00:35:39.260 If you had

00:35:41.840 predicted that

00:35:42.580 the vaccinations

00:35:43.900 would not work,

00:35:46.180 that would be

00:35:47.480 opposite of the

00:35:48.560 experts.

00:35:49.000 that's what I

00:35:50.080 predicted.

00:35:50.800 I predicted the

00:35:51.480 vaccinations would

00:35:53.300 not be

00:35:53.800 vaccinations.

00:35:57.100 That's pretty

00:35:57.760 radical, right?

00:35:59.040 Just pick the

00:35:59.780 opposite of what

00:36:00.460 you think is

00:36:00.880 going to happen

00:36:01.320 and you're

00:36:02.340 probably going to

00:36:02.980 hit it at least

00:36:03.520 half of the time

00:36:04.220 just by betting

00:36:05.780 the opposite of

00:36:06.540 what is obvious.

00:36:08.560 Because we get

00:36:09.320 pretty sold on

00:36:11.260 our own ability

00:36:12.100 to know what's

00:36:13.220 true and what's

00:36:13.780 obvious.

00:36:14.100 All right, was

00:36:15.780 there anything

00:36:16.040 else happening

00:36:16.540 today?

00:36:18.020 How many of

00:36:18.600 you saw the

00:36:19.220 Joe Biden

00:36:21.040 speech?

00:36:22.300 I think he

00:36:22.680 was in

00:36:23.020 Pennsylvania.

00:36:24.900 Pennsylvania,

00:36:25.800 an awesome

00:36:26.280 state.

00:36:29.160 And he

00:36:29.660 says,

00:36:30.380 I've got two

00:36:32.260 words for you.

00:36:33.660 Made in

00:36:34.480 America.

00:36:37.060 Now,

00:36:38.000 how many

00:36:40.060 people would

00:36:41.000 not have

00:36:41.400 corrected that

00:36:42.280 the moment

00:36:43.480 they said

00:36:44.080 made in

00:36:44.580 America?

00:36:47.160 Wouldn't

00:36:47.680 almost anybody

00:36:48.600 with a

00:36:49.040 functioning brain

00:36:49.900 have said,

00:36:51.080 ha ha, I

00:36:51.580 guess that's

00:36:52.020 three words,

00:36:52.720 but you know

00:36:53.240 what I mean.

00:36:53.760 Made in

00:36:54.100 America.

00:36:55.680 Wouldn't

00:36:56.160 everybody

00:36:57.960 catch that?

00:37:01.060 It's hard to

00:37:01.880 even imagine

00:37:02.560 anybody who

00:37:03.220 wouldn't have

00:37:03.560 noticed the

00:37:04.980 made in

00:37:05.460 America's

00:37:06.080 three words.

00:37:08.700 Now, is

00:37:09.220 that an

00:37:10.620 indication of

00:37:11.460 mental

00:37:12.060 instability?

00:37:14.360 I don't

00:37:14.640 know.

00:37:16.300 All right,

00:37:17.160 I would

00:37:17.960 like to do

00:37:18.520 a little

00:37:19.060 exercise now

00:37:19.920 that I

00:37:20.940 sometimes do,

00:37:22.680 which is

00:37:23.480 arguing the

00:37:24.460 opposite of

00:37:25.880 the case I

00:37:26.460 would normally

00:37:26.920 argue.

00:37:27.980 You ready for

00:37:28.680 this?

00:37:30.380 So let me

00:37:31.740 give you the

00:37:32.760 I don't know

00:37:35.500 if this is a

00:37:36.400 counterintuitive

00:37:37.200 or I'm not

00:37:38.620 sure how many

00:37:39.020 people would

00:37:39.440 agree with

00:37:39.780 this.

00:37:39.980 All right,

00:37:40.640 I'm going

00:37:40.900 to give you

00:37:41.260 a following

00:37:41.860 argument that

00:37:43.420 Biden is a

00:37:44.720 genius.

00:37:47.060 Because

00:37:47.540 wouldn't you

00:37:48.620 agree that

00:37:49.140 the standard

00:37:50.040 belief is that

00:37:50.900 even if you

00:37:51.680 support him,

00:37:53.700 even if you

00:37:54.360 support him,

00:37:54.980 you're thinking

00:37:55.420 he's not all

00:37:57.220 there, but

00:37:57.700 maybe his

00:37:58.100 advisors are

00:37:58.840 helping and

00:37:59.580 I'll ride it

00:38:00.780 out.

00:38:01.780 So I'm going

00:38:02.540 to argue that

00:38:03.360 Biden is on

00:38:04.800 the verge of

00:38:05.540 one of the

00:38:06.000 biggest

00:38:06.480 accomplishments in

00:38:07.820 American history.

00:38:10.540 It looks like

00:38:11.460 it.

00:38:12.880 If it's true

00:38:13.860 that our

00:38:14.880 future requires

00:38:15.900 lithium, I

00:38:18.240 don't know if

00:38:18.620 that's true,

00:38:19.280 but there's a

00:38:20.800 good assumption

00:38:21.640 that it might.

00:38:22.980 If it's true,

00:38:24.340 and if it's

00:38:25.200 true that one

00:38:25.780 of the reasons

00:38:26.240 that we're so

00:38:27.060 gung-ho about

00:38:27.920 supporting Ukraine,

00:38:29.320 not the only

00:38:29.900 reason, but one

00:38:31.020 of the big

00:38:31.340 reasons, if one

00:38:32.280 of the big

00:38:32.580 reasons is we

00:38:33.320 need a supply

00:38:34.700 of lithium and

00:38:36.340 the other

00:38:36.780 places don't

00:38:37.660 have enough or

00:38:38.420 they're unfriendly

00:38:39.400 countries, if

00:38:41.440 that's why

00:38:42.040 Biden has

00:38:43.060 been so

00:38:44.480 aggressive in

00:38:45.460 protecting them

00:38:46.240 and Biden

00:38:48.680 knew at some

00:38:49.440 point that he

00:38:50.360 could take out

00:38:51.040 the Russian

00:38:51.620 entire energy

00:38:53.480 infrastructure and

00:38:54.620 replace it with

00:38:55.300 American energy

00:38:56.420 infrastructure, which

00:38:57.820 is happening, and

00:38:59.520 if he knew he

00:39:00.140 could degrade their

00:39:01.260 military for so

00:39:03.520 long that they

00:39:04.080 would not be an

00:39:05.880 international threat,

00:39:09.080 this is one of

00:39:09.740 the greatest, he's

00:39:11.640 on the verge of

00:39:12.400 one of the

00:39:12.720 greatest foreign

00:39:14.000 policy successes in

00:39:16.580 American history.

00:39:20.920 And I'm actually

00:39:22.020 completely serious.

00:39:23.800 The thing we don't

00:39:24.760 know is how much

00:39:25.620 is intentional, right?

00:39:28.760 Am I right?

00:39:29.700 If Trump had done

00:39:31.500 everything that

00:39:32.500 Biden has done

00:39:33.240 about Ukraine,

00:39:34.080 what would I say

00:39:35.880 about it, right?

00:39:37.760 Let's do the shoe

00:39:38.940 and the other foot

00:39:39.540 test.

00:39:40.040 This is the

00:39:40.500 Dershowitz test.

00:39:42.040 Shoe and the

00:39:42.520 other foot. 0.98

00:39:43.880 If Trump had

00:39:45.340 supported Ukraine,

00:39:47.660 and amazingly,

00:39:48.720 against everybody's

00:39:49.920 impression,

00:39:51.500 amazingly, Ukraine

00:39:52.540 came out winning,

00:39:54.640 would I call

00:39:55.860 Trump a genius?

00:39:56.580 genius.

00:39:58.520 Yes.

00:39:59.000 Yes.

00:40:00.620 I know.

00:40:02.040 I know.

00:40:02.800 It hurts for me

00:40:03.580 to say this.

00:40:05.600 But correct me,

00:40:06.780 you're not

00:40:07.800 arguing, right?

00:40:09.040 If Trump had done

00:40:10.240 everything that

00:40:11.000 Biden has done

00:40:11.780 up to this point,

00:40:12.760 I would call

00:40:13.820 Trump a genius.

00:40:16.320 Because he would

00:40:17.180 have known that it

00:40:17.840 could work out.

00:40:19.000 And I didn't know

00:40:19.760 it.

00:40:21.840 Right?

00:40:22.320 So it's possible

00:40:24.540 that one of the

00:40:25.300 outcomes here

00:40:26.520 would be Putin

00:40:28.280 either completely

00:40:29.320 powerless

00:40:31.860 in terms of

00:40:33.500 influencing things

00:40:34.440 we care about,

00:40:36.060 maybe permanently

00:40:37.140 degraded and

00:40:38.280 permanently out of

00:40:39.180 the oil business.

00:40:40.740 All right,

00:40:40.940 here's a frame

00:40:42.140 for you to

00:40:43.280 understand this

00:40:45.200 whole point.

00:40:45.700 whoever has

00:40:48.020 the best

00:40:48.360 energy business

00:40:49.260 wins.

00:40:51.620 That's it.

00:40:52.900 The energy

00:40:53.460 business and

00:40:54.340 your military

00:40:55.260 are pretty

00:40:55.920 connected.

00:40:56.960 The energy

00:40:57.500 business and

00:40:58.200 your economy

00:40:59.640 are pretty

00:41:00.120 connected.

00:41:01.040 Your economy

00:41:01.800 and your

00:41:02.260 military are

00:41:02.880 pretty connected.

00:41:04.040 Your energy

00:41:04.660 business predicts

00:41:06.100 everything.

00:41:07.960 Energy predicts

00:41:09.000 everything.

00:41:10.820 So in one

00:41:12.080 action,

00:41:14.080 the United

00:41:14.640 States,

00:41:15.120 by backing

00:41:15.800 Ukraine,

00:41:17.060 has not only

00:41:17.880 maybe,

00:41:19.140 and again,

00:41:19.700 these are all

00:41:20.260 maybes,

00:41:21.400 has maybe

00:41:21.940 secured one

00:41:22.680 of the biggest

00:41:23.180 supplies of

00:41:23.900 lithium that

00:41:24.420 we could ever

00:41:24.880 secure,

00:41:25.520 because we

00:41:25.780 have a

00:41:26.200 friendly trading

00:41:26.960 partner now,

00:41:28.580 but also

00:41:29.500 replaced Russia 0.77

00:41:32.080 as the energy

00:41:33.400 producer for

00:41:34.300 Europe.

00:41:36.420 How big is

00:41:37.420 that?

00:41:38.360 That's about

00:41:38.940 as big as it

00:41:39.480 gets.

00:41:40.080 And also

00:41:40.680 removed the

00:41:41.460 Russian

00:41:42.020 blackmail threat.

00:41:45.120 I hate to

00:41:47.920 tell you,

00:41:48.980 but the

00:41:49.440 Biden

00:41:49.740 administration,

00:41:50.800 whoever's

00:41:51.320 making all

00:41:52.020 the decisions,

00:41:53.440 may be on

00:41:54.680 the verge

00:41:55.240 of something

00:41:57.000 that's as big

00:41:57.720 as the

00:41:58.180 Louisiana

00:41:58.760 purchase.

00:42:03.060 Did you buy

00:42:03.840 that?

00:42:05.000 In American

00:42:05.820 history,

00:42:06.740 if this works

00:42:07.540 out the way

00:42:07.980 it's going,

00:42:08.680 and that's a

00:42:09.400 big if.

00:42:10.420 That's a really

00:42:11.000 big if.

00:42:11.480 Very big

00:42:13.060 if.

00:42:13.340 I'm not

00:42:13.640 saying it

00:42:13.980 will.

00:42:14.680 But if it

00:42:15.280 goes the way

00:42:15.800 it's going,

00:42:16.420 and that's

00:42:16.740 how it

00:42:17.020 ends up,

00:42:18.780 this will

00:42:19.140 be one of

00:42:19.540 the greatest

00:42:20.100 American

00:42:20.720 foreign policy

00:42:22.040 moves of

00:42:23.700 all time.

00:42:24.080 It'll be up

00:42:24.480 there with

00:42:24.820 the Marshall

00:42:25.420 Plan.

00:42:27.640 It's going

00:42:28.160 to be up

00:42:28.400 there.

00:42:29.780 Now,

00:42:30.320 those of you

00:42:31.020 who are

00:42:31.360 starting to,

00:42:33.640 and I know

00:42:34.080 it's going

00:42:34.340 to come,

00:42:36.080 if I'm

00:42:36.660 triggering you

00:42:37.500 into cognitive

00:42:38.300 dissonance,

00:42:39.080 the way you'll

00:42:39.660 know is you'll

00:42:40.980 start to

00:42:41.440 insult me

00:42:42.000 personally.

00:42:44.400 And I'm

00:42:45.000 watching for

00:42:45.580 it.

00:42:46.780 Watch for

00:42:47.360 the personal

00:42:47.900 insults.

00:42:48.660 Those are the

00:42:49.120 people who

00:42:49.580 just can't

00:42:50.240 deal with

00:42:50.640 the fact

00:42:51.060 that this

00:42:51.380 might be

00:42:51.760 true.

00:42:53.060 Now,

00:42:53.580 it's also

00:42:54.020 possible that

00:42:54.800 Biden will

00:42:55.340 start a

00:42:56.680 nuclear war.

00:42:58.380 It's also

00:42:59.100 possible that

00:42:59.900 if Trump

00:43:00.320 had been

00:43:00.620 president,

00:43:01.180 there would

00:43:01.380 be no

00:43:01.720 war at

00:43:02.060 all.

00:43:03.200 But if

00:43:03.800 there had

00:43:04.040 been no

00:43:04.400 war at

00:43:04.720 all,

00:43:05.060 you'd

00:43:05.320 still have

00:43:05.700 a powerful

00:43:06.220 Russia,

00:43:06.860 and growing.

00:43:08.140 You'd

00:43:08.580 still have a

00:43:09.040 Europe that's

00:43:09.700 under Russia's 0.94

00:43:10.960 control because

00:43:12.940 they wouldn't

00:43:13.300 have turned

00:43:13.620 off the

00:43:13.960 pipeline just

00:43:14.700 because Trump

00:43:15.160 wanted it.

00:43:17.000 And we

00:43:17.660 wouldn't have

00:43:18.100 a supply of

00:43:18.860 lithium.

00:43:21.460 And we've

00:43:22.200 lost,

00:43:22.700 what,

00:43:23.300 zero military

00:43:25.620 that are

00:43:26.200 American.

00:43:28.180 So if

00:43:29.180 Biden pulls

00:43:29.820 this off,

00:43:30.360 he will

00:43:30.680 spend,

00:43:31.260 whatever is

00:43:31.940 the price

00:43:32.300 tag,

00:43:32.600 is it

00:43:32.840 going to

00:43:32.980 be,

00:43:33.500 I don't

00:43:34.180 know,

00:43:34.340 $20

00:43:34.680 billion?

00:43:36.560 What's it

00:43:37.120 going to

00:43:37.340 cost when

00:43:37.800 we're all

00:43:38.100 done?

00:43:38.340 I'm not

00:43:40.080 really paying

00:43:40.520 it.

00:43:40.700 Is $20

00:43:41.360 billion in

00:43:42.020 the range?

00:43:43.560 Something like

00:43:44.020 that?

00:43:44.960 Or is it

00:43:45.360 way bigger?

00:43:47.140 I don't,

00:43:47.500 well,

00:43:47.740 a trillion is

00:43:48.360 what Afghanistan

00:43:49.100 was.

00:43:51.720 You think it'll

00:43:52.460 be over $100

00:43:52.960 billion?

00:43:53.900 All right,

00:43:54.360 let's say it's

00:43:54.840 over $100

00:43:55.320 billion.

00:43:57.360 The energy

00:43:59.060 that we're

00:43:59.460 going to sell

00:43:59.840 to Europe

00:44:00.320 that replaced

00:44:01.820 Russia,

00:44:02.560 plus the value

00:44:03.720 of the lithium,

00:44:05.680 is trillions.

00:44:07.100 It's trillions.

00:44:07.740 Low trillions.

00:44:09.960 We may be

00:44:10.760 spending,

00:44:11.100 we may be

00:44:12.500 spending $200

00:44:13.400 billion to

00:44:15.300 get back

00:44:15.700 trillions.

00:44:17.220 It's an

00:44:17.840 insanely good

00:44:18.500 investment,

00:44:19.560 unless there's

00:44:20.340 nuclear war,

00:44:21.780 right?

00:44:22.080 If there's

00:44:22.500 nuclear war,

00:44:23.260 everything goes

00:44:23.780 to hell. 0.85

00:44:24.280 So you don't

00:44:24.760 know what,

00:44:25.260 you know,

00:44:25.580 Putin's going

00:44:26.040 to do.

00:44:26.600 Could go

00:44:27.020 anyway.

00:44:29.520 But at

00:44:30.280 the moment,

00:44:31.920 the moment.

00:44:33.340 Now,

00:44:33.700 I saw a

00:44:34.160 clip of

00:44:34.720 Trump

00:44:37.100 back when

00:44:38.100 he was

00:44:38.340 in office

00:44:38.800 saying that

00:44:40.380 it's crazy

00:44:41.160 to not

00:44:41.740 be friends

00:44:42.300 with Russia

00:44:43.140 and that

00:44:44.900 basically we

00:44:45.980 should figure

00:44:46.420 out a way

00:44:46.760 to live

00:44:47.100 with him.

00:44:48.900 Imagine

00:44:49.420 Trump coming

00:44:50.240 into office

00:44:50.840 after Russia's 0.79

00:44:53.680 been beaten

00:44:54.180 down by this

00:44:54.980 war.

00:44:57.040 Trump would

00:44:57.760 be the

00:44:58.180 number one

00:44:58.780 best choice

00:44:59.600 for somebody

00:45:00.960 to say,

00:45:01.440 all right,

00:45:01.680 Russia,

00:45:02.100 you're in

00:45:02.460 bad shape,

00:45:03.080 but we

00:45:04.540 can work

00:45:04.940 with you

00:45:05.240 if you

00:45:05.500 want.

00:45:06.600 It's just

00:45:07.060 not under

00:45:07.640 the old

00:45:08.000 rules.

00:45:08.920 We would

00:45:09.840 like to

00:45:10.260 help you

00:45:11.100 be a

00:45:11.600 stable

00:45:12.060 country

00:45:12.440 because you

00:45:12.760 have nukes,

00:45:13.580 but we

00:45:14.460 don't want

00:45:14.780 you to be

00:45:15.040 trouble to

00:45:15.500 us.

00:45:16.740 I think

00:45:17.100 Trump could

00:45:17.520 make that

00:45:17.880 work.

00:45:19.740 I think

00:45:20.400 Trump could

00:45:21.020 bring Russia 0.99

00:45:23.200 back into

00:45:23.780 some productive

00:45:24.600 arrangement with

00:45:26.320 the rest of

00:45:26.760 the world,

00:45:27.180 I think.

00:45:27.460 Yeah,

00:45:32.180 let me be

00:45:32.880 clear about

00:45:33.380 this.

00:45:34.020 I'm not

00:45:34.480 celebrating

00:45:35.120 that we

00:45:36.180 made a

00:45:37.120 profit at

00:45:38.060 the expense

00:45:38.660 of,

00:45:39.600 you know,

00:45:40.940 100,000

00:45:41.880 dead people

00:45:42.420 in Ukraine,

00:45:43.260 both Russian

00:45:43.800 and Ukrainian.

00:45:44.920 I'm not

00:45:45.340 saying that I

00:45:46.120 would have

00:45:46.320 chosen it.

00:45:47.900 But the

00:45:48.600 Ukrainians were 1.00

00:45:49.360 probably going

00:45:49.860 to fight

00:45:50.180 anyway.

00:45:51.680 The war

00:45:52.540 probably was

00:45:53.740 going to

00:45:53.960 happen one

00:45:54.420 way or the

00:45:54.840 other.

00:45:55.560 So the

00:45:56.160 Ukrainians are 1.00

00:45:56.800 doing what

00:45:57.180 the Ukrainians

00:45:57.780 want to

00:45:58.300 do.

00:45:59.520 I don't

00:46:00.200 know if I

00:46:00.940 call,

00:46:03.140 that's not

00:46:03.700 the same

00:46:04.100 kind of

00:46:04.600 tragedy as

00:46:05.400 something that

00:46:05.800 just happens

00:46:06.300 to you.

00:46:07.200 They're

00:46:07.680 choosing a

00:46:08.800 risky fight

00:46:09.520 for a big

00:46:10.100 game and

00:46:11.800 you know,

00:46:12.980 they're pretty

00:46:13.300 brave and

00:46:13.940 pretty amazing.

00:46:17.000 What happened

00:46:17.840 if we didn't

00:46:18.340 bankroll it?

00:46:19.040 Well,

00:46:20.020 something would

00:46:20.620 have happened

00:46:21.060 and the

00:46:21.920 Ukrainians

00:46:22.440 wouldn't have

00:46:22.840 liked it

00:46:23.240 apparently.

00:46:25.720 All right.

00:46:27.180 I'm very

00:46:27.860 curious about

00:46:29.000 your reaction.

00:46:31.020 If you

00:46:31.660 accept the

00:46:33.160 framing that

00:46:33.820 I gave you

00:46:34.380 as an

00:46:36.460 exercise,

00:46:38.200 if you

00:46:38.520 just take

00:46:39.620 it as an

00:46:40.040 exercise,

00:46:41.140 did I

00:46:42.060 accomplish the

00:46:42.840 shoe on the

00:46:43.280 other foot?

00:46:44.780 Give me that.

00:46:46.020 So your first

00:46:46.680 feedback is,

00:46:47.940 did my shoe

00:46:48.760 on the other

00:46:49.220 foot,

00:46:50.260 did it

00:46:51.520 enlighten you

00:46:52.120 in some way

00:46:52.620 where you

00:46:52.940 said,

00:46:53.140 holy shit?

00:46:53.600 Yeah.

00:46:55.740 All right.

00:46:56.700 So would

00:46:57.400 you say that

00:46:57.900 that is a

00:46:58.420 useful exercise?

00:47:00.140 Is that

00:47:00.460 useful?

00:47:01.440 I feel like

00:47:02.140 it is.

00:47:03.040 I feel like

00:47:03.520 that's useful.

00:47:07.400 Here's a

00:47:07.880 question.

00:47:08.600 I'll always

00:47:09.180 go with this.

00:47:09.660 Do you know

00:47:09.960 anything about

00:47:10.500 Russia? 0.61

00:47:11.020 I'm not

00:47:11.460 asking Rudminer.

00:47:12.720 I just

00:47:13.280 wonder, do

00:47:13.760 you know

00:47:13.960 anything about

00:47:14.480 any, do

00:47:15.060 I know

00:47:15.300 any Russian

00:47:15.720 folks?

00:47:17.180 Well, I

00:47:17.680 have talked

00:47:18.040 to some

00:47:18.440 Russians

00:47:18.880 recently, but

00:47:19.620 I wouldn't

00:47:20.000 say I have

00:47:20.440 any Russian

00:47:21.620 expertise.

00:47:23.600 I would

00:47:24.920 also say

00:47:25.520 that the

00:47:26.620 people who

00:47:27.240 are experts

00:47:28.160 are the

00:47:28.720 least credible

00:47:29.620 people in

00:47:30.380 our world

00:47:31.020 right now.

00:47:33.280 It shouldn't

00:47:34.140 be that way,

00:47:35.440 but it is.

00:47:36.880 It's not my

00:47:37.680 choice.

00:47:39.140 It's just

00:47:39.740 where we are.

00:47:41.100 And what we

00:47:41.880 learned is that

00:47:42.620 experts will

00:47:43.360 lie to you.

00:47:44.540 So it's not a

00:47:45.260 question that I

00:47:45.900 know more than

00:47:46.480 the experts.

00:47:47.340 Of course I

00:47:48.000 don't.

00:47:49.140 Of course I

00:47:49.740 don't.

00:47:50.680 But I can

00:47:51.400 tell when people

00:47:52.000 are lying.

00:47:53.600 So I'm

00:47:55.660 good at

00:47:56.800 detecting

00:47:57.740 liars.

00:47:58.660 I'm good

00:47:59.260 at detecting

00:48:00.040 hoaxes.

00:48:04.260 I'm good

00:48:05.020 at detecting

00:48:05.600 when somebody

00:48:06.280 has missed

00:48:06.660 something obvious.

00:48:08.460 Because sometimes

00:48:09.260 we have

00:48:09.600 cognitive

00:48:10.160 blindness to

00:48:10.940 stuff.

00:48:11.880 And if

00:48:12.140 you're not

00:48:12.620 in that

00:48:13.760 same bias

00:48:14.480 sphere,

00:48:15.900 you can

00:48:16.440 just see

00:48:16.820 stuff that

00:48:17.340 the people

00:48:17.780 who are in

00:48:18.200 the bubble

00:48:18.500 can't see.

00:48:19.040 So when

00:48:20.840 I make a

00:48:21.360 prediction that's

00:48:22.060 opposite of the

00:48:22.840 experts, I'm

00:48:24.600 never saying I

00:48:25.260 know more than

00:48:25.740 the experts.

00:48:27.460 I'm saying I

00:48:28.200 know something

00:48:28.660 different.

00:48:30.120 And what I

00:48:30.640 might know

00:48:31.020 different is I

00:48:32.120 know how to

00:48:32.520 spot a liar.

00:48:33.720 So I don't

00:48:34.320 need to know

00:48:34.760 what you know,

00:48:35.540 I can just

00:48:36.260 tell you're

00:48:36.680 lying.

00:48:38.700 So that's

00:48:39.260 what I do.

00:48:40.240 So what I do

00:48:40.980 is I try to

00:48:41.620 stick to what

00:48:42.220 I know,

00:48:43.680 not what the

00:48:44.280 experts know.

00:48:44.920 Is that

00:48:46.680 fair?

00:48:47.800 I think that's

00:48:48.580 a good way

00:48:48.960 to put it.

00:48:53.940 I'm good at

00:48:54.880 detecting liars

00:48:55.700 and I'm

00:48:56.220 single.

00:48:58.120 You bastard.

00:49:00.260 That was

00:49:00.880 funny.

00:49:03.800 Oh, let's

00:49:04.540 talk about

00:49:04.900 Herschel

00:49:05.380 Walker.

00:49:07.440 So I'm

00:49:08.680 sort of

00:49:09.120 generally

00:49:09.740 sort of

00:49:10.540 half following

00:49:11.220 the story.

00:49:12.060 And I

00:49:12.840 guess he's

00:49:13.320 accused of

00:49:14.340 paying for

00:49:16.660 an abortion

00:49:17.160 for his

00:49:17.660 girlfriend at

00:49:19.360 the same

00:49:19.720 time he's

00:49:20.340 anti-abortion.

00:49:22.500 I don't

00:49:23.040 have any

00:49:23.360 problem with

00:49:23.760 that at

00:49:24.020 all.

00:49:25.900 I don't

00:49:26.420 even know

00:49:26.700 why it's

00:49:27.000 a story.

00:49:29.440 Now, I

00:49:30.000 get that you

00:49:30.500 have a

00:49:30.820 problem with

00:49:31.260 it, but

00:49:32.140 why do I

00:49:32.560 have a

00:49:32.840 problem with

00:49:33.300 it?

00:49:34.360 I can't

00:49:34.900 even figure

00:49:35.280 out why

00:49:35.720 that's even

00:49:36.180 an issue.

00:49:37.500 Number one,

00:49:38.900 that's their

00:49:39.440 business.

00:49:40.800 That's their

00:49:41.280 business.

00:49:42.120 Number two,

00:49:43.080 it was

00:49:43.460 legal.

00:49:44.340 It was

00:49:45.140 legal.

00:49:45.900 It was

00:49:46.420 legal and

00:49:46.960 it was

00:49:47.160 private,

00:49:48.260 and it

00:49:48.500 was their

00:49:48.780 business.

00:49:49.720 Number three,

00:49:51.120 paying for

00:49:52.020 it is

00:49:55.080 sort of

00:49:55.520 an honorable

00:49:57.400 thing to

00:49:57.960 do if it's

00:49:58.860 going to

00:49:59.080 happen anyway.

00:50:01.660 I get

00:50:02.580 that he

00:50:02.960 could have

00:50:03.460 tried to

00:50:04.120 use economic

00:50:05.000 force to

00:50:06.160 force a

00:50:06.740 woman to 0.98

00:50:07.760 do something

00:50:08.180 she didn't

00:50:08.640 want to do.

00:50:09.120 I get that

00:50:09.580 he could have

00:50:09.960 done that.

00:50:10.580 But that

00:50:10.860 would have

00:50:11.300 been less

00:50:13.840 than honorable

00:50:14.560 in my

00:50:15.200 opinion.

00:50:16.000 Now,

00:50:16.280 what is

00:50:16.580 honorable,

00:50:17.400 of course,

00:50:17.740 is subject

00:50:18.180 to personal

00:50:19.900 opinion.

00:50:21.120 So if you

00:50:21.880 have a

00:50:22.140 different

00:50:22.440 opinion about

00:50:23.660 that,

00:50:24.320 I actually

00:50:24.900 wouldn't feel

00:50:25.600 that I

00:50:26.800 needed to

00:50:27.180 attack it

00:50:27.660 at all.

00:50:28.800 So if you

00:50:29.400 said to

00:50:29.740 yourself,

00:50:30.140 you know,

00:50:31.580 it's murder,

00:50:32.800 abortion's murder,

00:50:34.180 if you give it

00:50:35.840 any support

00:50:37.960 at all,

00:50:39.200 then you're

00:50:39.840 aiding murder.

00:50:41.320 If that's

00:50:41.780 your view,

00:50:42.980 I respect

00:50:43.740 that.

00:50:44.660 I respect

00:50:45.100 that.

00:50:46.920 But it

00:50:47.560 doesn't bother

00:50:48.220 me that

00:50:49.140 somebody did

00:50:49.720 something that's

00:50:50.400 legal and

00:50:52.760 supported

00:50:53.740 somebody who

00:50:54.680 was in a

00:50:55.160 tough place

00:50:55.860 and was not

00:50:56.720 going to

00:50:57.120 change their

00:50:57.580 mind.

00:50:59.100 If he tried

00:50:59.980 to talk her

00:51:00.480 out of it,

00:51:01.100 I don't know

00:51:01.540 if that

00:51:01.800 happened,

00:51:02.560 but if he

00:51:03.220 tried to

00:51:03.600 talk her 0.66

00:51:03.940 out of it

00:51:04.340 and failed

00:51:04.860 and then

00:51:06.220 paid for

00:51:06.680 it.

00:51:07.780 I don't

00:51:08.340 have a

00:51:08.600 problem

00:51:08.800 with

00:51:09.040 Hershel

00:51:09.340 Walker

00:51:09.580 at all.

00:51:10.940 I mean,

00:51:11.280 you could

00:51:11.620 ask why

00:51:12.160 he didn't

00:51:12.400 wear a

00:51:12.700 condom, 0.53

00:51:13.200 but that's

00:51:14.100 not the

00:51:14.460 level that

00:51:14.940 I'm going

00:51:15.280 to get

00:51:15.460 into.

00:51:16.800 Now,

00:51:17.800 correct me

00:51:18.520 if I'm

00:51:18.700 wrong,

00:51:18.940 did Hershel

00:51:19.360 Walker

00:51:19.640 deny that

00:51:20.440 he paid

00:51:20.740 for it?

00:51:21.820 Is he

00:51:22.140 saying it

00:51:22.520 didn't

00:51:22.700 happen?

00:51:24.660 Give me

00:51:25.140 a fact

00:51:25.480 check on

00:51:25.860 that.

00:51:26.620 I thought

00:51:26.960 I saw

00:51:27.260 something where

00:51:27.780 he was

00:51:28.020 denying

00:51:28.400 something.

00:51:29.080 He denied

00:51:29.500 everything.

00:51:30.560 Did he

00:51:30.940 deny the

00:51:31.400 pregnancy?

00:51:35.120 He has

00:51:35.680 no memory

00:51:36.200 of it.

00:51:36.680 Oh,

00:51:39.100 he denies

00:51:39.580 the money

00:51:39.940 was for

00:51:40.360 the

00:51:40.540 abortion.

00:51:44.400 So there

00:51:45.580 might be

00:51:45.860 more to

00:51:46.140 this story.

00:51:48.500 Have I

00:51:49.120 ever taught

00:51:49.580 you the

00:51:50.880 ratio of

00:51:52.420 celebrity

00:51:53.140 stories that

00:51:53.880 are true?

00:51:55.400 Of all

00:51:56.180 celebrity

00:51:56.620 stories,

00:51:58.960 what

00:51:59.120 percentage of

00:52:00.880 them do

00:52:01.180 you think

00:52:01.440 are accurate?

00:52:02.780 So this

00:52:03.600 would be a

00:52:03.960 celebrity

00:52:04.260 story.

00:52:04.680 maybe

00:52:06.080 20%.

00:52:06.880 20%.

00:52:08.360 About

00:52:09.620 20%.

00:52:10.180 That's just

00:52:11.240 based on

00:52:11.600 my own

00:52:11.920 experience.

00:52:13.500 Now the

00:52:13.780 things they

00:52:14.260 tend to

00:52:14.660 get right

00:52:15.140 are names

00:52:16.060 and dates

00:52:16.600 and anything

00:52:19.420 that's on

00:52:19.860 video.

00:52:21.240 There's some

00:52:21.960 things they

00:52:22.320 get right.

00:52:23.460 Well,

00:52:23.640 actually,

00:52:23.980 even the

00:52:24.240 video stuff

00:52:24.780 would be

00:52:25.040 out of

00:52:25.280 context.

00:52:25.680 So just

00:52:28.300 based on

00:52:28.840 reporting

00:52:29.380 about me,

00:52:31.280 literally the

00:52:32.940 last report

00:52:34.340 about me

00:52:34.880 called me

00:52:35.400 a right

00:52:36.020 wing

00:52:36.360 cartoonist.

00:52:39.080 That's the

00:52:39.820 last thing

00:52:40.300 that the

00:52:40.980 media said

00:52:41.420 about me.

00:52:43.060 Completely

00:52:43.360 here's who

00:52:45.920 the media

00:52:46.380 called the

00:52:48.220 right wing

00:52:48.720 cartoonist.

00:52:51.180 Totally

00:52:51.780 non-ironically

00:52:52.840 wearing this

00:52:53.440 shirt.

00:52:54.480 Because,

00:52:55.260 as Kanye

00:52:55.880 taught us,

00:52:57.920 what is

00:52:59.000 the only

00:52:59.480 correct answer

00:53:00.360 when somebody

00:53:01.420 says,

00:53:01.920 why are you

00:53:02.280 wearing this

00:53:02.740 shirt?

00:53:03.720 The only

00:53:04.500 correct answer

00:53:05.080 is because

00:53:06.340 it's obvious.

00:53:07.960 Because it's

00:53:08.780 true.

00:53:10.900 Yeah,

00:53:11.120 it's obvious.

00:53:13.440 So that

00:53:14.260 should give

00:53:16.120 you an idea

00:53:16.760 what the

00:53:18.320 media's

00:53:21.400 accuracy rate

00:53:22.220 is.

00:53:23.980 Because it's

00:53:24.640 obvious.

00:53:31.760 It's to

00:53:32.400 cover up my

00:53:32.900 abs,

00:53:33.240 yes.

00:53:33.660 I don't

00:53:33.920 want to

00:53:35.280 intimidate

00:53:35.800 anybody.

00:53:37.820 All right,

00:53:38.340 was there

00:53:38.620 any other

00:53:38.960 story that

00:53:39.420 I forgot

00:53:39.720 to talk

00:53:40.080 about?

00:53:42.860 Or you

00:53:43.480 want

00:53:43.720 attention?

00:53:44.120 I always

00:53:45.660 love it

00:53:46.100 when somebody

00:53:47.180 accuses me

00:53:47.900 of seeking

00:53:48.380 attention.

00:53:50.400 Do you

00:53:51.000 know what

00:53:51.260 I do

00:53:51.540 for a

00:53:51.860 living?

00:53:54.400 I seek

00:53:55.380 attention

00:53:55.740 for a

00:53:56.160 living.

00:53:57.540 That's my

00:53:58.160 whole business

00:53:58.700 model.

00:54:01.080 I don't

00:54:01.720 get paid a

00:54:02.280 cent unless

00:54:03.600 I get your

00:54:04.120 attention.

00:54:05.840 That's 100%

00:54:06.960 of what I do

00:54:07.580 all day long,

00:54:08.820 is I try to

00:54:09.460 get your

00:54:09.760 attention.

00:54:11.200 The only way

00:54:11.880 I can get

00:54:12.380 and hold

00:54:12.840 your attention

00:54:13.400 is if it's

00:54:14.500 entertaining

00:54:15.000 or useful.

00:54:16.680 Am I

00:54:17.240 right?

00:54:18.040 If it's

00:54:18.600 not entertaining

00:54:19.400 and it's

00:54:20.180 not useful,

00:54:20.800 I can't

00:54:21.120 hold your

00:54:21.440 attention.

00:54:22.700 So do

00:54:23.240 you have

00:54:23.480 a problem

00:54:24.100 with that?

00:54:25.140 If I try

00:54:25.860 to be

00:54:26.120 useful and

00:54:26.980 or entertaining,

00:54:28.060 I try to

00:54:28.540 be both.

00:54:30.380 But does

00:54:32.120 that sit

00:54:33.260 poorly with

00:54:34.400 you?

00:54:36.200 Of course

00:54:36.920 I'm trying

00:54:37.320 to get your

00:54:37.760 attention.

00:54:39.000 Of course.

00:54:40.080 But I'm

00:54:40.420 pretty transparent

00:54:41.240 about it,

00:54:41.740 aren't I?

00:54:43.060 Yeah.

00:54:44.400 Have I

00:54:45.700 also not

00:54:47.120 admitted to

00:54:47.760 you that I

00:54:48.180 never do

00:54:48.580 things for

00:54:49.060 one reason?

00:54:50.420 I've told

00:54:51.080 you that,

00:54:51.460 right?

00:54:52.860 If anybody

00:54:53.660 ever tells

00:54:54.180 you they

00:54:54.500 did something

00:54:55.040 for one

00:54:55.640 reason,

00:54:56.460 you should

00:54:57.040 automatically

00:54:57.760 be skeptical.

00:54:59.520 I never

00:55:00.280 do anything

00:55:00.700 for one

00:55:01.380 reason.

00:55:03.040 Is there

00:55:03.600 one reason

00:55:04.140 I'm wearing

00:55:04.540 this shirt?

00:55:06.240 No.

00:55:07.380 There are

00:55:08.000 multiple reasons.

00:55:09.500 And one of

00:55:09.920 them is,

00:55:10.300 absolutely,

00:55:11.520 I do

00:55:12.700 for a living,

00:55:13.600 I get

00:55:13.880 attention.

00:55:15.060 So that's

00:55:15.360 absolutely one

00:55:16.000 of the

00:55:16.160 reasons,

00:55:16.460 of course.

00:55:18.660 Of course

00:55:19.400 it is.

00:55:20.780 But it

00:55:21.300 doesn't mean

00:55:21.700 it's not

00:55:22.120 true.

00:55:22.540 I don't have

00:55:24.640 to lie about

00:55:25.300 it.

00:55:26.020 Black lives 0.56

00:55:26.620 matter.

00:55:28.520 There's

00:55:29.040 nothing to

00:55:30.980 add.

00:55:31.220 you're

00:55:33.900 waiting for

00:55:34.300 me to

00:55:34.540 wear

00:55:34.700 white

00:55:34.980 lives

00:55:35.300 matter

00:55:35.620 out in

00:55:36.000 public.

00:55:37.760 Well,

00:55:38.360 you know,

00:55:39.460 here's the

00:55:40.400 thing.

00:55:41.040 That's not

00:55:41.620 exactly a

00:55:42.740 free speech

00:55:43.500 issue,

00:55:44.320 is it?

00:55:45.640 I mean,

00:55:46.040 it's in the

00:55:46.660 neighborhood

00:55:47.020 of free

00:55:47.480 speech.

00:55:48.700 But if

00:55:49.340 you're

00:55:49.720 intentionally

00:55:50.600 provocative,

00:55:52.360 that's sort

00:55:53.440 of what

00:55:53.680 your speech

00:55:54.080 is.

00:55:55.160 So in

00:55:55.720 that case,

00:55:56.180 I would

00:55:56.380 say your

00:55:56.940 speech is

00:55:57.540 not white

00:55:59.000 lives matter.

00:55:59.720 if I

00:56:01.780 were to

00:56:02.060 wear that

00:56:02.360 shirt in

00:56:02.760 public,

00:56:03.580 what I

00:56:04.200 would be

00:56:04.480 saying is

00:56:05.040 punch me.

00:56:07.480 And that's

00:56:08.180 what I

00:56:08.440 would be

00:56:08.700 communicating.

00:56:09.840 I'd like

00:56:10.420 you to

00:56:10.660 punch me.

00:56:12.900 And I

00:56:14.040 wouldn't do

00:56:14.380 that.

00:56:15.520 Now, I

00:56:16.000 wouldn't have

00:56:16.400 worn this

00:56:16.960 shirt until

00:56:18.400 Kanye turned

00:56:19.320 it into

00:56:19.680 art, which

00:56:21.480 is also

00:56:21.940 true, which

00:56:23.820 makes it

00:56:24.260 good art.

00:56:26.420 If it

00:56:26.860 weren't true,

00:56:27.440 I don't think

00:56:28.260 I'd wear it.

00:56:29.720 Well, maybe

00:56:30.400 I would if

00:56:30.800 it were funny

00:56:31.680 or something,

00:56:32.280 but I

00:56:33.200 didn't have

00:56:33.520 to deal

00:56:34.400 with that.

00:56:38.240 In other

00:56:38.920 words, the

00:56:39.520 newspaper comics

00:56:40.400 politically don't

00:56:41.480 show true

00:56:42.160 reality.

00:56:43.360 Well, of

00:56:43.780 course.

00:56:45.120 Of course

00:56:45.560 not.

00:56:49.580 Florida

00:56:50.020 Surgeon

00:56:50.380 General

00:56:50.860 recommending

00:56:53.020 against the

00:56:54.120 mRNA vaccine

00:56:55.220 for men

00:56:55.780 from 18

00:56:56.460 to 39.

00:56:57.100 You know,

00:56:58.040 it's funny,

00:56:58.540 I thought

00:57:00.100 that was

00:57:00.440 already the

00:57:01.020 recommendation.

00:57:05.900 Is 0.88

00:57:06.380 anybody

00:57:06.720 going to

00:57:07.040 ever tell

00:57:07.480 us the

00:57:07.880 truth that

00:57:09.200 the reason

00:57:09.820 vaccinations

00:57:10.860 were required

00:57:11.640 for the

00:57:12.040 young is

00:57:12.980 for the

00:57:13.340 benefit of

00:57:13.860 the old?

00:57:16.740 I mean,

00:57:17.100 that was

00:57:17.560 always why

00:57:18.160 it was,

00:57:18.660 but now

00:57:19.220 that doesn't

00:57:19.780 really even

00:57:20.500 apply,

00:57:20.920 does it?

00:57:21.340 Since it

00:57:21.800 doesn't stop

00:57:22.380 it from

00:57:22.680 spreading,

00:57:23.120 did it

00:57:24.680 ever make

00:57:25.080 sense that

00:57:25.580 young people

00:57:26.100 got the

00:57:26.660 vaccination?

00:57:29.640 If Omicron

00:57:30.480 is, you

00:57:31.000 know, in

00:57:31.320 the context

00:57:32.200 of Omicron,

00:57:33.700 young, healthy

00:57:34.340 people should

00:57:35.000 get vaccinations?

00:57:36.380 I don't

00:57:36.940 know if

00:57:37.240 that, I

00:57:37.800 don't even

00:57:38.080 know if

00:57:38.280 that's news,

00:57:38.880 is it?

00:57:40.020 Is that

00:57:40.320 news?

00:57:41.460 I mean, I'm

00:57:41.900 not even,

00:57:43.400 I'm not

00:57:44.480 under 39 and

00:57:45.700 even I

00:57:46.080 wouldn't get a

00:57:46.540 vaccination

00:57:46.920 now.

00:57:49.800 I'm just

00:57:50.400 sort of

00:57:50.740 surprised that

00:57:51.480 that's even

00:57:52.080 news.

00:57:53.120 Huh?

00:57:59.180 Yeah.

00:58:01.140 Now, here's

00:58:02.280 a question

00:58:03.160 that's really

00:58:04.100 interesting to

00:58:04.700 me.

00:58:06.560 The excess

00:58:07.660 deaths that

00:58:08.360 we keep

00:58:08.680 seeing, do

00:58:11.080 you think

00:58:11.360 we'll ever

00:58:11.920 know if

00:58:13.620 it was

00:58:13.920 caused by

00:58:14.580 the long

00:58:15.200 COVID or

00:58:16.460 the vaccination

00:58:17.180 itself or

00:58:18.740 both or

00:58:19.960 neither?

00:58:20.940 Do you

00:58:21.360 think we'll

00:58:21.620 ever know

00:58:22.060 that?

00:58:23.120 I'm

00:58:23.800 going to

00:58:24.020 bet on

00:58:24.860 never.

00:58:26.360 I'm going

00:58:26.660 to bet

00:58:26.900 on never

00:58:27.360 because I

00:58:28.420 don't believe

00:58:28.940 that our

00:58:29.480 scientists are

00:58:30.160 allowed to

00:58:30.660 study that.

00:58:32.280 Or if they

00:58:32.920 did and

00:58:33.660 they got the

00:58:34.120 wrong answer,

00:58:34.800 I don't

00:58:35.080 believe they'd

00:58:35.760 be allowed

00:58:36.120 to publish

00:58:36.560 it.

00:58:37.100 And if

00:58:37.420 they publish

00:58:37.860 it, the

00:58:38.780 media would

00:58:39.220 ignore it.

00:58:41.020 So I

00:58:41.540 don't know if

00:58:41.880 you could get

00:58:42.360 there from

00:58:42.760 here.

00:58:43.080 it's like

00:58:44.540 there's this

00:58:45.780 and there's

00:58:46.180 this, but

00:58:46.580 there's no

00:58:46.940 path between

00:58:47.600 them.

00:58:48.140 I don't

00:58:48.460 know that

00:58:48.720 we'll ever

00:58:49.100 know the

00:58:49.440 truth of

00:58:49.880 that.

00:58:53.640 That's not

00:58:55.120 a good

00:58:55.960 situation to

00:58:56.580 be in.

00:58:57.760 All right.

00:58:58.700 I believe I've

00:58:59.700 done my

00:59:00.180 one hour of

00:59:01.820 awesome,

00:59:03.340 awesome content.

00:59:04.840 Awesome.

00:59:05.960 Let me just

00:59:06.680 check with you.

00:59:07.240 How many

00:59:08.400 think that

00:59:09.200 it could

00:59:09.760 turn out

00:59:10.340 that history

00:59:10.980 will say

00:59:12.220 that the

00:59:12.960 Biden

00:59:13.240 administration

00:59:13.940 did a

00:59:15.260 good job

00:59:15.700 on Ukraine?

00:59:17.360 How many

00:59:18.020 think that

00:59:18.380 history will

00:59:18.980 judge it

00:59:19.460 positively?

00:59:24.380 But check

00:59:25.960 yourself.

00:59:26.940 Check your

00:59:28.180 bias.

00:59:30.900 How much

00:59:31.520 of your

00:59:31.820 answers do

00:59:32.380 you think

00:59:32.640 are bias

00:59:33.160 based?

00:59:34.780 Now I'm

00:59:35.300 also making

00:59:35.800 a big

00:59:36.120 assumption.

00:59:36.500 that things

00:59:37.740 end well

00:59:38.400 without a

00:59:38.980 nuclear

00:59:39.320 holocaust. 0.61

00:59:40.360 If we get

00:59:41.020 the nuclear

00:59:41.460 holocaust,

00:59:42.180 then of

00:59:42.440 course he'll

00:59:42.820 be judged

00:59:43.340 quite harshly.

00:59:46.980 It depends

00:59:47.800 on the

00:59:48.100 writer.

00:59:48.660 It depends

00:59:49.040 if the

00:59:49.360 writer is

00:59:49.800 a Democrat

00:59:50.200 or Republican

00:59:50.860 probably.

00:59:55.480 Yeah.

00:59:57.740 Anyway,

00:59:58.980 but I hope

01:00:00.000 you at

01:00:00.300 least appreciated

01:00:01.300 the exercise

01:00:02.740 of arguing

01:00:03.680 from the

01:00:04.100 other side.

01:00:05.380 Is anybody

01:00:05.860 bothered by

01:00:06.400 that?

01:00:07.640 Does it

01:00:08.600 bother anybody 0.58

01:00:09.400 when I

01:00:10.580 transparently

01:00:12.180 argue the

01:00:12.840 other side

01:00:13.400 just to see

01:00:14.280 if they've

01:00:14.580 got something

01:00:15.040 there?

01:00:18.800 Yeah.

01:00:20.560 I personally

01:00:21.620 find it fun

01:00:22.560 to learn that

01:00:23.520 everything I knew

01:00:24.260 was wrong

01:00:24.840 or that there's

01:00:25.580 another way to

01:00:26.080 look at it.

01:00:27.040 To me,

01:00:27.680 that's always

01:00:28.060 exciting.

01:00:29.300 But I feel

01:00:29.820 like to some

01:00:30.500 people it's

01:00:31.060 threatening to

01:00:32.680 learn that

01:00:33.100 everything they

01:00:33.620 thought was wrong

01:00:34.280 or could be

01:00:34.900 wrong or

01:00:35.540 that there's

01:00:35.900 another way

01:00:36.300 to look at

01:00:36.680 it.

01:00:38.100 Yeah.

01:00:40.380 It's a good

01:00:41.040 exercise.

01:00:42.080 It's a real

01:00:42.400 good exercise.

01:00:43.840 The other one

01:00:44.840 that's related

01:00:45.400 to that is

01:00:46.020 what if

01:00:46.360 everything's

01:00:46.840 opposite?

01:00:48.480 You know,

01:00:48.660 not just

01:00:49.100 politics,

01:00:50.280 but because I'm

01:00:51.380 a cartoonist,

01:00:52.160 I sort of live

01:00:52.800 in that world

01:00:53.360 where I take

01:00:54.280 everything that

01:00:55.000 I see and

01:00:56.300 then the first

01:00:56.860 thing I do to

01:00:57.500 it is I say,

01:00:58.360 well, what if it

01:00:58.880 was the opposite

01:00:59.400 of that?

01:00:59.860 Because that's

01:01:00.780 how cartoonists

01:01:01.420 think.

01:01:02.620 It's like,

01:01:03.160 the normal

01:01:03.800 situation is

01:01:04.600 your doctor,

01:01:06.220 you know,

01:01:06.580 helps you stay

01:01:07.400 healthy.

01:01:08.860 But the

01:01:09.480 cartoonist goes

01:01:10.240 to the doctor

01:01:10.740 and says,

01:01:11.360 what if it's

01:01:12.080 the other way?

01:01:13.080 What if the

01:01:13.700 doctor's trying

01:01:14.260 to kill me?

01:01:15.220 Would that be

01:01:15.780 funny?

01:01:16.780 And it is a

01:01:17.500 little funny.

01:01:20.480 So my dog

01:01:21.600 moved from

01:01:22.580 her place

01:01:23.980 to be closer

01:01:25.500 to me,

01:01:26.320 and now she's 0.62

01:01:26.980 snoring again.

01:01:30.720 Writers need

01:01:31.540 to do the

01:01:31.980 same.

01:01:33.760 Firemen

01:01:34.200 cause fires.

01:01:36.760 You know,

01:01:37.160 speaking of

01:01:37.640 fires,

01:01:38.140 I realize

01:01:38.600 that the

01:01:39.000 one reason

01:01:39.620 why the

01:01:41.000 idea of

01:01:41.560 taking all

01:01:41.960 the homeless

01:01:42.480 and the

01:01:42.860 drug people

01:01:43.340 and putting

01:01:43.720 them in

01:01:44.140 their own

01:01:44.640 location,

01:01:45.500 you know,

01:01:45.740 put them

01:01:46.100 on a farm

01:01:46.540 somewhere,

01:01:47.340 is they

01:01:48.040 would burn

01:01:48.400 it down.

01:01:50.060 Am I

01:01:50.400 wrong?

01:01:51.580 If you

01:01:52.160 moved the

01:01:52.660 homeless to

01:01:53.300 any, like,

01:01:55.080 you know,

01:01:55.360 beautiful

01:01:55.800 wilderness

01:01:56.320 area or

01:01:57.020 something,

01:01:57.880 wouldn't they

01:01:58.220 just burn

01:01:58.640 it down?

01:01:59.860 Because I

01:02:00.820 don't imagine

01:02:01.720 that they're

01:02:02.060 real careful

01:02:02.560 with fire.

01:02:05.020 I mean,

01:02:05.600 not intentionally,

01:02:06.380 I just think,

01:02:07.420 well, maybe

01:02:07.780 intentionally,

01:02:08.360 because they

01:02:08.620 have mental

01:02:09.100 illness as

01:02:09.660 well in

01:02:09.940 many cases.

01:02:11.600 Yeah.

01:02:12.660 But I'd

01:02:13.260 love to

01:02:13.760 try it.

01:02:15.000 Here's what

01:02:15.480 I believe.

01:02:17.300 I believe

01:02:18.020 that a

01:02:18.400 segment of

01:02:18.900 society will

01:02:19.800 not be able

01:02:20.380 to deal

01:02:21.240 with modern

01:02:21.800 life and

01:02:23.020 will have

01:02:23.480 to be on

01:02:23.920 some kind

01:02:24.340 of drugs

01:02:24.800 permanently

01:02:25.300 and will

01:02:26.600 not be

01:02:27.020 able to

01:02:27.540 integrate with

01:02:28.420 the rest of

01:02:28.820 the world

01:02:29.180 because of

01:02:29.740 the drugs

01:02:30.180 and maybe

01:02:30.600 other things

01:02:31.120 as well.

01:02:32.600 We can't

01:02:33.420 kill them, 0.94

01:02:33.980 we can't

01:02:34.340 live with

01:02:34.760 them.

01:02:36.140 You can't

01:02:36.900 kill them, 0.94

01:02:37.880 I'm not

01:02:38.280 recommending

01:02:38.720 that.

01:02:39.840 You can't

01:02:40.240 kill them

01:02:40.600 and you

01:02:40.860 can't live

01:02:41.240 with them.

01:02:42.280 There is

01:02:43.000 an obvious

01:02:43.560 solution.

01:02:45.120 They have

01:02:45.540 to live

01:02:45.840 in a

01:02:46.060 different

01:02:46.260 place,

01:02:47.360 but not

01:02:48.280 in some

01:02:48.640 places cruel,

01:02:50.280 you know,

01:02:50.460 not locked

01:02:51.200 up in a

01:02:51.820 little room.

01:02:54.000 Can we do

01:02:54.700 anything that's

01:02:55.480 kind and

01:02:56.360 empathetic

01:02:57.520 and maybe

01:02:58.720 even beautiful

01:02:59.440 and just

01:03:00.560 let people

01:03:01.100 who can't

01:03:02.140 live in

01:03:02.440 our world

01:03:03.080 live in

01:03:04.540 their world.

01:03:05.900 Number two,

01:03:07.020 I'd like to

01:03:07.800 test this

01:03:08.620 hypothesis on

01:03:09.720 you.

01:03:10.100 I've mentioned

01:03:10.600 it before,

01:03:12.080 but people

01:03:13.420 who actually

01:03:14.020 do drugs

01:03:15.040 will tell

01:03:17.720 you that

01:03:18.260 the risk

01:03:19.120 of drugs

01:03:19.660 is mostly

01:03:20.480 in the

01:03:21.060 purity

01:03:21.540 or knowing

01:03:23.140 what you

01:03:23.460 have.

01:03:24.600 And that

01:03:24.860 if you

01:03:25.100 solve that,

01:03:26.580 you would

01:03:26.920 have a

01:03:27.220 whole bunch

01:03:27.600 of functional

01:03:28.400 addicts

01:03:29.060 who could

01:03:29.540 integrate

01:03:29.920 with society

01:03:30.660 and you

01:03:31.620 wouldn't

01:03:31.880 even

01:03:32.100 necessarily

01:03:32.620 know

01:03:32.900 they

01:03:33.040 were

01:03:33.180 addicts.

01:03:34.740 You

01:03:35.220 just

01:03:35.340 wouldn't

01:03:35.500 even

01:03:35.660 know.

01:03:37.040 They

01:03:37.300 would

01:03:37.460 just

01:03:37.640 be

01:03:37.960 below

01:03:38.320 the

01:03:38.580 level

01:03:38.840 where

01:03:39.100 it's

01:03:39.400 causing

01:03:39.860 them

01:03:40.200 obvious

01:03:41.300 physical

01:03:41.900 harm.

01:03:42.920 Probably

01:03:43.260 it's

01:03:43.440 always

01:03:43.640 harmful.

01:03:44.780 But

01:03:45.180 they

01:03:45.460 would

01:03:45.600 be

01:03:45.720 happy

01:03:45.980 enough

01:03:46.340 because

01:03:47.460 they

01:03:47.620 need

01:03:47.880 this

01:03:48.120 little

01:03:48.400 extra

01:03:48.700 boost.

01:03:49.760 But

01:03:49.980 they've

01:03:50.240 learned

01:03:50.620 to have

01:03:51.540 the

01:03:51.700 right

01:03:51.900 purity

01:03:52.360 so they

01:03:53.300 get

01:03:53.440 exactly

01:03:53.840 the

01:03:54.080 right

01:03:54.300 boost

01:03:54.620 that

01:03:54.820 they

01:03:54.960 want

01:03:55.280 and

01:03:55.460 they

01:03:55.580 stay

01:03:55.760 within

01:03:56.020 this

01:03:56.240 thin

01:03:56.560 band

01:03:56.980 of

01:03:57.220 not

01:03:57.920 too

01:03:58.260 blown

01:03:59.020 away

01:03:59.420 and

01:03:59.800 still

01:04:00.460 functional.

01:04:02.640 So I

01:04:03.620 feel like

01:04:04.080 we have

01:04:04.420 to do

01:04:04.680 the brave

01:04:05.180 thing.

01:04:06.360 And there's

01:04:06.660 nobody who

01:04:07.120 can say

01:04:07.420 it out

01:04:07.680 loud.

01:04:09.040 We have

01:04:09.740 to figure

01:04:10.100 out how

01:04:10.620 to keep

01:04:10.980 functional

01:04:11.500 addicts

01:04:12.080 in our

01:04:12.960 midst.

01:04:14.160 And those

01:04:14.600 who can't

01:04:15.040 be functional

01:04:15.540 we have

01:04:16.140 to separate

01:04:16.560 them.

01:04:17.760 And

01:04:18.140 probably

01:04:18.440 the only

01:04:18.860 path to

01:04:19.400 that is

01:04:20.040 to test

01:04:20.580 it.

01:04:21.780 Right?

01:04:22.560 If you

01:04:23.140 say it's

01:04:23.440 a good

01:04:23.760 idea or

01:04:24.360 a bad

01:04:24.680 idea,

01:04:25.080 you're

01:04:25.260 wrong.

01:04:27.060 If you

01:04:27.660 say the

01:04:28.020 idea of

01:04:28.520 giving

01:04:28.880 addicts

01:04:29.840 pure

01:04:30.600 drugs

01:04:31.760 with no

01:04:32.200 fentanyl,

01:04:33.260 if you

01:04:33.760 say that's

01:04:34.160 a good

01:04:34.500 idea or

01:04:35.040 a bad

01:04:35.320 idea,

01:04:35.740 you're

01:04:35.920 both

01:04:36.140 wrong.

01:04:37.520 The only

01:04:38.160 thing you

01:04:38.540 can say

01:04:38.940 is that

01:04:39.320 it hasn't

01:04:39.740 been tested

01:04:40.300 in all

01:04:40.720 the ways

01:04:41.020 it could

01:04:41.260 be tested.

01:04:42.660 Maybe

01:04:42.960 it's been

01:04:43.580 tested like

01:04:44.480 San Francisco

01:04:45.460 had a

01:04:45.740 disastrous

01:04:46.560 open-air

01:04:47.460 needle

01:04:48.460 thing.

01:04:49.880 I'm not

01:04:50.480 sure you

01:04:50.840 should be

01:04:51.160 satisfying the

01:04:52.820 needle

01:04:53.080 people.

01:04:54.540 By the

01:04:54.920 time you're

01:04:55.280 putting it

01:04:55.640 in your

01:04:55.980 arm with

01:04:56.760 a needle,

01:04:58.200 I don't

01:04:59.140 know enough

01:04:59.540 about this

01:04:59.980 world,

01:05:01.020 but maybe

01:05:01.480 they're already

01:05:01.980 too far

01:05:02.420 gone.

01:05:03.760 Maybe they're

01:05:04.480 not the

01:05:04.780 ones you

01:05:05.040 can bring

01:05:05.400 back.

01:05:06.200 But the

01:05:06.720 ones who

01:05:07.060 are snorting

01:05:07.700 it,

01:05:08.000 smoking it,

01:05:08.680 or taking

01:05:09.100 the pill,

01:05:10.560 I believe

01:05:11.920 those are

01:05:12.960 people trying

01:05:13.840 to be

01:05:14.240 functional

01:05:14.780 addicts,

01:05:16.100 and maybe

01:05:16.860 succeeding

01:05:17.360 in some

01:05:18.340 cases.

01:05:19.420 So I

01:05:19.900 think we

01:05:20.180 have to

01:05:20.440 do the

01:05:20.720 brave

01:05:20.980 thing and

01:05:21.860 say that

01:05:22.200 some people

01:05:22.660 are going

01:05:22.920 to be

01:05:23.100 functional

01:05:23.480 addicts,

01:05:23.940 how do

01:05:24.140 we keep

01:05:24.460 them alive?

01:05:25.880 And some

01:05:26.400 people can't 0.97

01:05:27.000 be helped,

01:05:28.100 how do we

01:05:28.500 keep them

01:05:28.840 separate from

01:05:29.440 us?

01:05:30.760 Those two

01:05:31.460 questions are

01:05:32.140 the dangerous

01:05:32.680 ones that we

01:05:33.280 can't answer,

01:05:34.800 because you

01:05:35.400 don't want to

01:05:35.820 be a jerk. 0.96

01:05:37.780 It doesn't

01:05:39.060 show empathy,

01:05:40.020 and it

01:05:40.180 doesn't,

01:05:41.660 you know,

01:05:41.920 it just feels

01:05:42.500 like you're

01:05:43.120 being a bad

01:05:43.620 person when

01:05:44.140 you say

01:05:44.440 that.

01:05:45.400 But I

01:05:46.100 think we've

01:05:46.520 got to

01:05:46.760 grow up.

01:05:48.000 We've

01:05:48.260 just got to

01:05:48.620 grow up,

01:05:49.800 and just

01:05:50.180 say we're

01:05:50.940 going to

01:05:51.040 have to

01:05:51.540 legalize.

01:05:53.400 Honestly,

01:05:54.000 I think at

01:05:54.420 this point,

01:05:55.140 because of

01:05:56.920 fentanyl,

01:05:57.980 I would

01:05:58.520 legalize

01:05:59.060 everything.

01:06:02.940 Does

01:06:03.380 anybody

01:06:03.560 disagree?

01:06:05.820 If you

01:06:06.380 take fentanyl

01:06:07.180 out of the

01:06:07.580 equation,

01:06:08.240 I would be

01:06:08.680 tempted to

01:06:09.160 say some

01:06:09.640 things should

01:06:10.060 still be

01:06:10.480 illegal,

01:06:11.560 because we

01:06:11.980 want to

01:06:12.280 keep you

01:06:12.560 off the

01:06:12.840 heroin and

01:06:13.340 the cocaine.

01:06:15.320 But if

01:06:16.020 moving people

01:06:16.780 to heroin

01:06:17.200 and cocaine

01:06:17.760 is safer,

01:06:19.420 which is

01:06:19.780 the current

01:06:20.160 situation,

01:06:21.560 moving people

01:06:22.280 from fentanyl

01:06:23.040 to heroin

01:06:23.700 will keep

01:06:25.060 them alive.

01:06:27.640 Statistically,

01:06:28.300 that's more

01:06:28.640 likely.

01:06:29.400 Still dangerous.

01:06:31.160 But we're

01:06:31.480 not,

01:06:31.780 this is not

01:06:32.280 your,

01:06:33.180 and you've

01:06:33.700 seen a number

01:06:34.140 of people

01:06:34.400 say this.

01:06:34.880 Geraldo said

01:06:35.420 this yesterday

01:06:35.960 on Fox

01:06:36.440 News.

01:06:37.260 Geraldo was

01:06:37.820 saying,

01:06:38.180 he's obviously

01:06:38.920 seen everything.

01:06:40.160 there's an

01:06:42.060 understatement.

01:06:43.500 Geraldo has

01:06:44.240 seen everything.

01:06:45.540 That's like the

01:06:46.400 truest thing

01:06:47.040 anybody's ever

01:06:47.660 said.

01:06:48.720 I think

01:06:49.140 Geraldo's

01:06:49.680 seen everything.

01:06:51.020 Is there

01:06:51.580 anything that

01:06:52.160 Geraldo hasn't

01:06:52.820 seen?

01:06:53.700 I mean,

01:06:54.180 really.

01:06:55.020 He's literally

01:06:55.660 seen everything.

01:06:57.140 And even

01:06:57.520 Geraldo says,

01:06:58.480 this fentanyl,

01:06:59.440 this is not

01:06:59.920 like anything

01:07:00.500 we've ever

01:07:01.020 seen.

01:07:01.860 This is not

01:07:02.640 like drugs.

01:07:04.100 This is a

01:07:04.760 whole different

01:07:05.760 animal.

01:07:06.120 And in

01:07:07.280 that context,

01:07:09.060 the question

01:07:09.640 of legalizing

01:07:10.400 heroin becomes

01:07:11.380 probably yes.

01:07:13.360 If you take

01:07:14.140 fentanyl away,

01:07:15.440 I'd say,

01:07:16.020 I don't know.

01:07:17.000 I'm leaning

01:07:17.500 toward no.

01:07:18.880 I'm leaning

01:07:19.540 toward no.

01:07:20.680 And I'm

01:07:21.360 pretty soft

01:07:21.980 on drug

01:07:22.460 crimes.

01:07:23.960 And even

01:07:24.460 I would lean

01:07:25.020 toward no.

01:07:26.280 But as soon

01:07:26.940 as you put

01:07:27.360 fentanyl in

01:07:28.160 the mix and

01:07:28.720 it kills

01:07:29.040 100,000 a

01:07:29.740 year,

01:07:30.700 I say,

01:07:31.140 shit,

01:07:31.420 shit,

01:07:31.680 everything's

01:07:32.120 wrong.

01:07:33.040 Everything you

01:07:33.740 know is

01:07:34.120 wrong because

01:07:35.620 of fentanyl.

01:07:36.800 If you

01:07:37.420 don't get

01:07:37.840 the politicians

01:07:38.460 to say the

01:07:39.280 following words,

01:07:40.220 nothing could

01:07:40.640 ever happen.

01:07:41.680 Here's the

01:07:42.140 following words.

01:07:43.820 Because of

01:07:44.680 fentanyl,

01:07:46.020 everything we've

01:07:46.820 ever done with

01:07:47.680 drugs before is

01:07:49.360 wrong.

01:07:50.900 They need to

01:07:51.760 know that.

01:07:52.900 Because here's

01:07:53.480 the other thing

01:07:53.920 they say.

01:07:54.480 If we build

01:07:55.100 the wall,

01:07:56.440 we can reduce

01:07:57.220 fentanyl.

01:07:58.300 Nope.

01:07:59.500 If you build

01:08:00.160 the wall,

01:08:00.560 you can reduce

01:08:01.120 marijuana.

01:08:02.400 You know why?

01:08:03.140 Because marijuana

01:08:03.760 is big.

01:08:05.620 You can't

01:08:06.520 make money

01:08:07.000 shipping like

01:08:07.700 a handful

01:08:08.180 of marijuana.

01:08:09.840 But you

01:08:10.220 could make

01:08:10.740 a million

01:08:12.040 dollars shipping

01:08:13.900 enough fentanyl

01:08:14.880 that I could

01:08:15.300 reach through

01:08:15.780 the fence

01:08:16.280 on the

01:08:17.120 border wall.

01:08:17.840 Because the

01:08:18.240 border wall

01:08:18.720 is a fence.

01:08:20.880 It's got,

01:08:22.220 you know,

01:08:22.540 you can reach

01:08:23.200 your hand

01:08:23.520 through it.

01:08:24.200 Am I wrong?

01:08:25.480 You could

01:08:25.880 take like a

01:08:27.040 million dollars

01:08:27.680 worth of

01:08:28.060 fentanyl and

01:08:28.560 say,

01:08:29.320 hey,

01:08:29.800 Bob,

01:08:31.100 it's Juan

01:08:31.800 over here.

01:08:32.800 Bob,

01:08:33.140 I'm going

01:08:33.760 to reach

01:08:34.080 through with

01:08:34.500 the fentanyl.

01:08:35.460 Why don't

01:08:35.800 you take

01:08:36.120 this and

01:08:36.580 go sell

01:08:37.000 it?

01:08:37.460 It's a

01:08:37.800 million dollars.

01:08:39.660 And then he

01:08:40.440 sells it.

01:08:41.040 A million dollars.

01:08:42.560 So you

01:08:43.260 have the

01:08:44.660 Republicans

01:08:45.240 fighting the

01:08:46.080 last war.

01:08:47.240 There it

01:08:47.580 is.

01:08:49.180 I got it.

01:08:51.100 I got it.

01:08:52.700 You know,

01:08:53.200 there are some

01:08:53.620 phrases that

01:08:54.500 work on

01:08:54.960 everybody.

01:08:56.560 Here's one.

01:08:57.860 You want a

01:08:58.360 phrase that

01:08:58.920 will fix

01:09:00.020 the Republicans?

01:09:01.100 Because the

01:09:01.380 Republicans are

01:09:01.920 just barking up

01:09:02.560 the wrong

01:09:02.900 wall.

01:09:03.820 They're

01:09:04.060 literally

01:09:04.440 looking at

01:09:05.680 they put

01:09:06.440 all their

01:09:06.760 emphasis on

01:09:07.400 the wall

01:09:07.780 and that

01:09:08.140 has no

01:09:08.860 impact.

01:09:09.560 It'll have

01:09:09.860 no impact.

01:09:11.520 So here's

01:09:12.280 what I'm

01:09:12.540 going to say

01:09:12.820 to Republicans

01:09:13.420 on the

01:09:14.160 drug war.

01:09:15.080 If you're

01:09:15.740 building a

01:09:16.440 wall to

01:09:17.460 stop fentanyl,

01:09:18.800 you're fighting

01:09:20.060 the last

01:09:20.900 war.

01:09:22.380 You're fighting

01:09:23.080 the old

01:09:23.460 war.

01:09:24.520 The new

01:09:24.860 war is not

01:09:25.560 fences don't 0.57

01:09:26.740 work on the

01:09:27.220 new war.

01:09:28.600 Might have

01:09:28.960 worked for

01:09:29.360 marijuana.

01:09:30.980 Even

01:09:31.460 cocaine.

01:09:32.560 But we

01:09:35.340 have to

01:09:35.800 convince

01:09:36.220 Republicans

01:09:36.980 that they're

01:09:38.300 fighting the

01:09:38.900 wrong war.

01:09:40.400 The current

01:09:40.980 war might

01:09:41.700 require

01:09:42.400 legalizing

01:09:43.840 stuff they

01:09:44.640 don't want

01:09:45.000 to legalize.

01:09:47.520 It might.

01:09:50.400 Yeah.

01:09:51.480 The other

01:09:52.320 thing would be

01:09:53.620 just to

01:09:54.240 level the

01:09:55.300 cartels.

01:09:56.900 Now,

01:09:57.360 you know how

01:09:57.800 you can tell

01:09:58.540 that your

01:09:58.900 government is

01:09:59.520 not serious

01:10:00.220 about fentanyl?

01:10:01.900 I'm going

01:10:02.360 to say

01:10:02.600 something now

01:10:03.260 and as soon

01:10:03.800 as I say

01:10:04.200 it,

01:10:04.720 your jaw

01:10:05.360 is going

01:10:05.720 to hit

01:10:06.000 the fucking

01:10:06.620 floor.

01:10:08.960 We have

01:10:09.620 never asked

01:10:10.360 the head

01:10:10.700 of the

01:10:10.940 cartels

01:10:11.400 to negotiate.

01:10:14.800 Just pause.

01:10:16.420 Just pause

01:10:16.920 and think

01:10:17.220 about that.

01:10:18.100 We have

01:10:18.360 never,

01:10:18.860 the United

01:10:19.240 States has

01:10:19.880 never asked

01:10:20.400 the head

01:10:20.720 of the

01:10:20.960 cartels

01:10:21.500 to negotiate.

01:10:22.880 And again,

01:10:27.520 why would

01:10:28.080 you ask

01:10:28.420 them to

01:10:28.700 negotiate

01:10:29.160 if they

01:10:29.740 were selling

01:10:30.160 you cocaine

01:10:30.840 and marijuana?

01:10:31.600 Maybe you

01:10:31.940 wouldn't.

01:10:33.040 But that's

01:10:33.520 last war.

01:10:35.140 This is not

01:10:36.000 last war.

01:10:37.060 This war

01:10:37.680 goes like

01:10:38.240 this.

01:10:39.220 Hey,

01:10:39.460 cartels,

01:10:39.960 we want

01:10:40.340 to talk

01:10:40.660 to you.

01:10:41.580 We'd like

01:10:42.320 you to

01:10:42.600 stop

01:10:42.900 everything,

01:10:44.060 like all

01:10:44.500 the illegal

01:10:44.980 stuff.

01:10:46.280 But if

01:10:46.960 you send

01:10:47.320 us one

01:10:47.760 more ounce

01:10:48.620 of fentanyl,

01:10:50.300 we're going

01:10:50.920 to kill

01:10:51.240 all of you.

01:10:52.880 Do you

01:10:53.200 understand

01:10:53.580 that?

01:10:55.900 We're going

01:10:56.380 to kill

01:10:56.620 all of you.

01:10:58.240 And then

01:10:58.820 do it.

01:10:59.680 Just kill

01:11:00.060 all of them.

01:11:01.440 And then

01:11:02.020 when they

01:11:02.380 rebuild,

01:11:02.940 because they

01:11:03.260 would,

01:11:04.360 you kill

01:11:04.700 all of them.

01:11:06.100 And then

01:11:06.680 when they

01:11:07.040 rebuild,

01:11:08.560 kill all

01:11:09.300 of them.

01:11:10.060 And just

01:11:10.480 repeat.

01:11:11.720 Just forever.

01:11:14.120 Now,

01:11:14.900 if they

01:11:15.420 say,

01:11:15.880 oh shit,

01:11:16.920 we're going

01:11:17.300 to get out

01:11:17.640 of the

01:11:17.820 fentanyl

01:11:18.220 business,

01:11:19.320 and we'll

01:11:19.540 go back

01:11:19.940 to our

01:11:20.240 cat and

01:11:20.600 mouse game

01:11:21.160 with,

01:11:21.520 you know,

01:11:21.940 with cocaine

01:11:23.180 and shit, 0.71

01:11:24.700 maybe.

01:11:25.560 Maybe we

01:11:26.620 go back

01:11:27.000 to our

01:11:27.300 old game.

01:11:28.020 Maybe.

01:11:28.980 Don't have

01:11:29.540 to,

01:11:29.960 but maybe.

01:11:31.540 But give

01:11:33.400 me your

01:11:33.720 reaction to

01:11:34.620 that statement.

01:11:35.260 If the

01:11:36.420 United States

01:11:37.100 government is

01:11:37.900 not directly

01:11:38.760 asking for,

01:11:40.540 it's the

01:11:40.920 asking for

01:11:41.440 that's the

01:11:41.800 important part,

01:11:42.700 asking to

01:11:43.400 negotiate with

01:11:44.140 the head

01:11:44.400 of the

01:11:44.660 cartel,

01:11:45.580 we are not

01:11:46.380 serious people.

01:11:48.440 True or

01:11:49.160 false?

01:11:49.500 We're not

01:11:49.960 serious people

01:11:50.720 if we're

01:11:51.120 not asking

01:11:51.620 to negotiate.

01:11:53.500 If you're

01:11:54.200 in a war

01:11:54.800 and you

01:11:55.160 don't at

01:11:55.500 least ask,

01:11:57.040 could we

01:11:57.340 negotiate this

01:11:58.180 away,

01:11:58.760 and you're

01:11:59.480 not going

01:11:59.800 to fight,

01:12:01.240 pick one,

01:12:03.000 government.

01:12:04.580 Negotiate

01:12:05.080 or fight.

01:12:06.960 Or surrender.

01:12:09.560 Negotiate,

01:12:10.280 fight,

01:12:10.600 or surrender.

01:12:11.220 Which of

01:12:11.520 those three

01:12:11.960 things are

01:12:12.400 we doing?

01:12:13.720 Fuck

01:12:14.220 nothing.

01:12:15.540 No.

01:12:16.380 We're not

01:12:16.900 fighting.

01:12:17.980 All we're

01:12:18.320 trying to do

01:12:18.660 is capturing

01:12:19.260 stuff at

01:12:19.720 the border,

01:12:20.620 which makes

01:12:21.260 no difference.

01:12:22.300 We're

01:12:22.520 capturing

01:12:22.860 stuff.

01:12:24.520 How about

01:12:25.040 giving that

01:12:25.540 advice to

01:12:26.160 Ukraine?

01:12:27.460 Hey,

01:12:27.820 you've been

01:12:28.180 invaded by

01:12:29.840 Russia.

01:12:30.920 There are

01:12:31.200 three things

01:12:31.720 we don't

01:12:32.160 want you

01:12:32.460 to do.

01:12:33.500 Don't

01:12:33.860 fight,

01:12:34.440 don't

01:12:34.640 negotiate,

01:12:35.340 and don't

01:12:35.680 surrender.

01:12:37.660 Anything

01:12:38.180 else is

01:12:38.660 fine.

01:12:39.780 But don't

01:12:40.200 do one

01:12:40.520 of those

01:12:40.800 three things.

01:12:42.000 Don't

01:12:42.320 fight,

01:12:42.700 negotiate,

01:12:43.200 or surrender

01:12:43.680 in your

01:12:44.300 war.

01:12:44.720 But that's

01:12:46.640 what we're

01:12:46.900 doing with

01:12:47.240 the cartels.

01:12:47.880 we've

01:12:48.700 eliminated

01:12:49.200 the only

01:12:49.640 three things

01:12:50.220 you do

01:12:50.540 in war.

01:12:51.960 Fight,

01:12:52.520 negotiate,

01:12:53.260 surrender.

01:12:55.040 Those are

01:12:55.700 the only

01:12:56.000 three.

01:12:57.680 We're

01:12:58.220 doing the

01:12:58.660 fourth

01:12:58.980 thing.

01:12:59.780 That's

01:13:00.300 not even

01:13:00.640 a fucking 0.88

01:13:01.140 thing.

01:13:02.940 The

01:13:03.480 fourth

01:13:03.800 thing.

01:13:04.780 Capturing

01:13:05.140 some of

01:13:05.540 your

01:13:05.660 weapons

01:13:05.980 at the

01:13:06.260 border.

01:13:07.800 Jesus

01:13:08.140 Christ.

01:13:10.560 All

01:13:10.800 right,

01:13:11.000 well,

01:13:11.200 enough of

01:13:11.440 that.

01:13:13.160 Black 0.64

01:13:13.680 Lives Matter.

01:13:16.180 Go

01:13:16.700 Ukraine.

01:13:17.880 And I

01:13:20.920 will not

01:13:21.340 be banned

01:13:21.980 from social

01:13:22.520 media

01:13:22.840 today.

01:13:24.360 Not

01:13:24.860 today.

01:13:26.320 I put

01:13:26.760 my

01:13:26.960 pronouns

01:13:27.600 in my

01:13:28.140 profile.

01:13:31.580 And if

01:13:32.380 I get

01:13:32.900 canceled

01:13:33.300 now,

01:13:34.880 there's

01:13:36.340 going to

01:13:36.540 be some

01:13:36.860 explaining

01:13:37.280 to do.

01:13:38.960 Somebody

01:13:39.400 will have

01:13:39.640 some

01:13:39.800 explaining.

01:13:41.660 All

01:13:42.120 right,

01:13:42.700 it is

01:13:43.660 the best

01:13:44.000 show

01:13:44.240 ever.

01:13:45.020 I

01:13:45.220 know.

01:13:46.260 I

01:13:46.740 didn't

01:13:46.900 think I

01:13:47.240 could do

01:13:47.580 it.

01:13:48.160 But

01:13:48.340 there

01:13:49.440 it was.

01:13:49.920 Best

01:13:50.140 show

01:13:50.320 ever.

01:13:51.420 And I'm

01:13:51.780 going to

01:13:51.960 say goodbye

01:13:52.380 to YouTube

01:13:52.960 and Spotify

01:13:53.700 and I'll

01:13:54.180 talk to

01:13:54.500 you tomorrow.

01:13:54.920 Bye.

01:13:54.980 Bye.
