00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization, the thing that
00:00:09.300 makes everything better in a hundred different ways, at least. I've counted them. Would you
00:00:15.460 like to take it up to a new level, an amazing level, a level that, I don't know, I don't
00:00:20.300 know if humans have ever even experienced this, but we're going to take it up now. And all you
00:00:25.520 need, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or gel. It's a dine, a canteen jug or
00:00:30.420 a flask of vessel of any kind. Wow, that's the best I've ever said that. Fill it with
00:00:35.600 your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the
00:00:41.000 dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous
00:00:44.340 sipping. It's going to happen right now. Go.
00:00:47.680 Oh, somebody's in the gym and can't sip now. We're not going to wait, but it's good that
00:01:00.360 you're in the gym. That's a very good thing to do at the same time that you are consuming
00:01:06.520 coffee with Scott Adams. Well, there's so much news today, I can hardly begin. Greta Thunberg
00:01:15.360 says that she thinks that Germany should keep its nuclear power plants on because the alternative
00:01:23.020 is burning coal. Why did it take Greta until now to say that? And the story went on to say
00:01:35.520 that she's feeling good and, you know, she's in a good place. Sort of mentally and emotionally,
00:01:40.680 she's in a good place now. I'm really happy that Greta destroyed planet Earth, but then
00:01:47.700 she's feeling good because that's why we do it, right? That's why you destroy the planet,
00:01:52.500 to feel a little better about yourself. And she is, and so that's good. On one hand, planet
00:01:57.940 Earth has been destroyed. On the other hand, Greta is feeling a little bit better about herself.
00:02:02.800 And I think that counts. You've got to balance out the positive and the minus. Honestly, I wonder
00:02:10.480 how she rationalizes this. Does she not look at the state of the world and know that that
00:02:19.920 was her? I mean, not all of it, but a big part. How does she not know her culpability in all
00:02:29.580 of this badness? I don't think that her brain can process that, right? In her mind, she'd
00:02:34.640 probably move things forward and then other people just do other things. All right. I've
00:02:44.320 heard some people say that one way to save the nuclear marriage is to make it harder to
00:02:50.080 get a divorce. How many of you think that's a good idea, to make it really, really hard
00:02:56.940 to get a divorce? Anybody think that's a good idea? That sounds like the advice you
00:03:05.060 give to people who have never been in a marriage where they wanted to get a divorce. I don't
00:03:10.740 think there's anybody who ever wanted a divorce who ever thought that was a good idea. So my
00:03:18.220 take is that there was a time in history when making it hard to get a divorce probably was
00:03:23.640 a good strategy because people didn't have a lot of options. You know, you married somebody
00:03:30.080 you knew. That's it. Well, I know somebody. I know the farmer's daughter next door, so I
00:03:38.160 guess I'll marry her. And I'm the only one she knows that's the right age, so I guess we'll
00:03:43.800 get married. I think in those days when people had very few options, maybe marriage was good
00:03:52.380 to lock in. But today, people are exposed to some of the alternatives. You know, they've
00:03:58.680 had a hundred lovers before they get married sometimes. All kinds of stuff. I just don't
00:04:04.320 think people's brains can be happy with one option for 60 years. I just don't think we're
00:04:11.880 that kind of people. It's unrealistic in terms of who we've become. It wasn't unrealistic in
00:04:18.220 the 1800s. In the 1800s, it might have been a survival necessity. But at the moment, we've
00:04:24.560 really changed in terms of what we've been exposed to and what we care about and, you
00:04:29.800 know, how specific our preferences are. So I don't know if that's the answer. I saw a tweet
00:04:37.280 by Joshua Lysak yesterday that kind of stuck with me. I saw it again today, so I thought
00:04:44.180 I'd share it. He was saying that he heard a podcaster saying the following thing the other
00:04:49.940 day. Quote, I can't get behind person A because they like to tweet from person B. That tells
00:04:56.160 me everything I need to know about person A, and none of it's good. And Joshua goes on to
00:05:02.040 say, imagine admitting you think this way in public. Imagine thinking that you know everything
00:05:13.240 about somebody based on who they tweeted. And I agree with Joshua so much on this point
00:05:20.280 because you've seen me make a point before that I sometimes, maybe once or twice a year,
00:05:25.840 I declare in public my right to associate with people you don't like aggressively. I'm not
00:05:34.260 just going to associate with people you condemn. I'm going to be all over them. I'm going to
00:05:40.880 slobber all over them. Because fuck you. I have no tolerance for people telling me who I
00:05:47.680 can and cannot associate with. No tolerance. There's no wiggle room there whatsoever. It's
00:05:53.780 like free speech, right? I mean, I'll give you shouting fire in the crowd at theater. But there's
00:05:59.880 some things you don't negotiate on. And I don't negotiate who I can talk to. I'm not going to
00:06:05.980 negotiate that. To prove my point, to prove that I will associate with people I don't even agree with,
00:06:15.140 I retweeted Aaron Rupar today, who was criticizing Sean Hannity. Yeah, I did that. I did that. I just,
00:06:27.220 I just retweeted Aaron Rupar because I agreed with his tweet. How do you feel about that?
00:06:35.060 Knowing my audience, if you know who he is, you're saying to yourself, what could he have possibly said
00:06:42.580 that you agreed with? Apparently, Hannity played an audio on his show of Joe Biden trying to
00:06:53.060 talk to Hunter about his drug addiction and saying that he didn't know what to do, but he loved him,
00:07:01.860 etc. Now, if you've heard about the video, but you haven't heard it, you don't know the story.
00:07:08.500 So that's the first thing you need to know. If you read that there was an audio, but you haven't
00:07:14.820 heard it, you really don't understand the story. The hearing, it changes everything, right? When you
00:07:21.620 hear the genuine concern and the genuine love and the genuine helplessness of that call,
00:07:32.180 he humanizes both of them. First of all, he humanizes them. So I feel much closer to both Joe Biden and to
00:07:43.860 Hunter Biden because of that call. Now, I have, you know, most of you know, I have some personal
00:07:49.780 connection to the topic of fentanyl. Not mine, but my stepson who passed away. So I really felt that.
00:08:02.580 And I asked myself, what was the point of Hannity running that? I didn't see the whole segment,
00:08:09.300 but was there any redeeming purpose of that? Because what I saw was a grotesque violation of privacy.
00:08:18.660 Just grotesque. Did you see something else? Did you see something that was newsworthy?
00:08:27.460 Because that was, because just reading about it and then listening to it and a context,
00:08:31.700 because remember, I saw it out of context. Was there any context that makes that okay?
00:08:35.380 Okay. Somebody says it's a war. Sorry. Not good enough. Yeah.
00:08:47.540 All right. Well, you got a little quiet on that one. So I'm going to back Aaron Rupar on this
00:08:53.460 against Hannity. And I don't really care what you think about it. Just in case, in case you wondered.
00:08:58.740 Here's the thing. I blame conservatives for the ongoing fentanyl problem. I blame conservatives.
00:09:13.460 Here's why. Because conservatives have a fantasy of what can be done about it. And I think Hannity
00:09:19.540 displayed that fantasy. I don't think Hannity would play that unless he believed that there was something
00:09:27.620 like having better character could have helped Hunter. Like if he tried harder or, you know, did the right
00:09:35.860 thing, he'd be better off. I feel like you wouldn't run that video. Now, this is mind reading, right?
00:09:43.780 But I feel, yeah, exactly. It's mind reading. But we don't have an alternate explanation of why you did it,
00:09:49.060 right? We're missing an alternate explanation, so we'd have to speculate. But it would be speculation.
00:09:55.860 Yeah. I don't know. This whole thing was super creepy to me and I didn't like it that one bit.
00:10:03.060 And I think that conservatives don't understand that addiction is not a choice. Do you get that?
00:10:09.540 How many of you understand that addiction is not a choice? I mean, there's certainly a choice when you
00:10:15.700 first got into it. That was a choice. But you know that once you're addicted, the choice goes away.
00:10:22.820 It's just a medical problem after that. So, all right. And then also conservatives think that
00:10:30.580 building a fence is going to stop fentanyl. Maybe five percent.
00:10:38.500 All right. So there's a group of former Trump officials, they're called. I'll name them in a second.
00:10:47.380 We're proposing that the U.S. declare war on Mexican cartels.
00:10:53.540 So that's a thing now. Who was the first person who told you we should declare war on the cartels?
00:11:01.220 Where have you heard that before? Yeah. Yeah, that was me. Do you know why these four people can say this out loud?
00:11:11.700 So the four people were named are Russ Vogt, Ken Cuccinelli, Cash Patel, and Mark Paoletta.
00:11:20.260 So it's a problem. They're proposing it so that they can shut down legal ports of entry
00:11:27.860 and if needed and basically give them a little more leverage.
00:11:34.420 Now, here's what I think I do for the country. I don't know for sure, but it looks like it.
00:11:42.020 Can you give me a sanity check on this? And usually when people say, give me a sanity check,
00:11:48.900 they don't mean it literally. This time, I actually mean it literally.
00:11:52.820 This is literally a sanity check. Am I crazy? Because it looks like this and another story I'm going to tell later.
00:12:03.540 It looks like I've been playing the role accidentally of the canary in the coal mine.
00:12:10.020 Meaning if I don't die, then somebody else can say it out loud.
00:12:14.180 And I believe I said out loud, we should attack militarily the cartels in Mexico, even if it requires occupying Mexico.
00:12:25.140 Whatever it takes. Now, did you notice that I didn't get canceled for saying that? Right?
00:12:32.900 Not only did I not get canceled, but I didn't get as much pushback as you would imagine I would get.
00:12:38.500 Did I? And then when the news came out that Trump had mentioned it in a private conversation when he was president,
00:12:48.180 he just floated the idea. And whoever told the story said that they dismissed it. Ah, dismissed it.
00:12:55.540 But it got in your head, didn't it? It was in your head.
00:12:59.500 Once you start thinking about it, wild ideas don't sound so wild anymore.
00:13:04.500 Everything's wild the first time you hear it, you know, if it's outside the box.
00:13:09.960 But I think that my talking about it made it easier for somebody else to talk about it.
00:13:16.420 Am I crazy? You tell me.
00:13:19.320 Am I crazy, or did I prove that you could say that in public and survive it?
00:13:23.220 I don't know. I mean, literally I can't tell.
00:13:30.240 Because I might be just imagining any kind of connection to this.
00:13:36.100 I don't know. Hard to know.
00:13:38.260 Anyway, I think that if they get this pushed through,
00:13:43.720 which, you know, the odds are against it,
00:13:45.800 but maybe if there's a Republican president someday, they will have more success.
00:13:50.500 But I think this would set the stage for a direct military attack on the cartels.
00:13:56.160 That's not why they say they're doing it.
00:13:59.240 They're not saying they're doing it for military direct action.
00:14:03.300 But that's what a war is.
00:14:05.180 If you declare it a war, you've effectively authorized military action.
00:14:11.900 So, good work on that, all the ones working on that.
00:14:15.720 Question, if the draft were ever reinstated in the United States,
00:14:24.360 and let's say the threat was one you didn't think was worthy of your time,
00:14:29.000 such as something like the Vietnam War,
00:14:31.780 where people of good conscience could say,
00:14:34.400 I don't think this is in our self-interest.
00:14:36.120 Would you ever consider, if you were male,
00:14:41.240 identifying as a woman so that you would not have to register for the draft?
00:14:45.780 Would anybody consider doing that?
00:14:48.540 Would you consider identifying as a woman so you don't get drafted?
00:14:53.360 Oh, I would.
00:14:55.200 I'd do that in a heartbeat.
00:14:57.160 Of course I would.
00:15:00.220 I wouldn't hesitate for a second.
00:15:02.700 Why?
00:15:03.140 Embrace and amplify, my friends.
00:15:06.980 Embrace and amplify.
00:15:09.280 Those are the rules.
00:15:11.140 I did not make up the rules.
00:15:13.920 Moreover, if you're applying for a college scholarship
00:15:18.140 or, let's say, a job at a corporation,
00:15:22.280 why would you identify as white?
00:15:25.240 Or a white male?
00:15:26.760 Why would you do that?
00:15:29.260 I suppose you might try a few times as a white male and see how it goes.
00:15:33.600 Maybe if you get your job, you're fine.
00:15:35.300 You might have a special talent or something.
00:15:37.780 But if you were competing with the rest of the world,
00:15:41.000 why would you identify as white if you don't have to?
00:15:44.360 The rules are very clear.
00:15:45.940 You can identify whatever you want.
00:15:47.980 So why would you identify as the one that gives you fewer rights
00:15:50.640 as an American citizen?
00:15:53.360 Effectively.
00:15:54.140 It would be crazy.
00:15:54.900 You know, a lot of people think that I joke
00:15:58.640 when I say I identify as black for the benefits.
00:16:03.220 That's not a joke.
00:16:04.980 I identify as black for the benefits.
00:16:07.540 And should people think I'm white
00:16:10.700 and give me some benefits for looking white,
00:16:14.720 I will take those benefits.
00:16:16.740 Thank you.
00:16:18.600 So I can get benefits both ways.
00:16:21.100 Why would you do it the other way?
00:16:23.100 Why would you identify in the way that gets you the least stuff?
00:16:27.480 I don't make the rules.
00:16:28.820 I just play them.
00:16:30.380 Right?
00:16:30.520 If it were illegal to identify as some other thing than how I feel,
00:16:36.240 then I wouldn't do it.
00:16:38.180 I'm big on following the law.
00:16:40.340 But if the law encourages me to identify in the way
00:16:43.820 that makes my life the most fulfilled and meaningful,
00:16:49.000 then I'm going to do it any time I want for any reason whatsoever
00:16:52.020 as long as there's a benefit.
00:16:54.200 So that's my take.
00:16:55.220 So Tulsi Gabbard has announced she's leaving the Democrat Party.
00:17:02.100 And here's what she says in her statement.
00:17:05.500 I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party
00:17:07.880 that is now under the complete control
00:17:10.040 of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness.
00:17:15.600 It gets better.
00:17:17.460 Here's the money shot.
00:17:18.700 Who divide us by racializing every issue
00:17:22.840 and stoke anti-white racism
00:17:25.340 actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms.
00:17:29.960 And then she goes on.
00:17:33.280 Tulsi Gabbard actually said in public, out loud, full-throated,
00:17:39.820 that she's leaving the Democrat Party
00:17:42.000 because they're anti-white racists.
00:17:47.460 Got to stand up for that.
00:17:48.700 I'm standing ovation.
00:18:02.480 All right.
00:18:05.180 Now, here's my next question.
00:18:09.720 Did I make it safer for her to say that?
00:18:15.380 Have you been watching me for the last month?
00:18:18.700 I feel like I canaried that coal mine, did I not?
00:18:24.540 I feel like this is the second coal mine I canaried.
00:18:27.540 And I can't tell if there's any connection.
00:18:30.080 It feels like there's a connection, doesn't it?
00:18:32.800 But it could just be the zeitgeist.
00:18:34.560 It could, you know what the zeitgeist is?
00:18:38.320 The zeitgeist is this sort of non-scientific idea
00:18:43.480 that people suddenly reach the same conclusions
00:18:47.720 at about the same time in different places for their own reasons,
00:18:51.680 but there's something about society that made us all decide at the same time.
00:18:55.920 So I guess in some sense there's a scientific hypothesis, at least.
00:19:01.340 And it could be that.
00:19:02.760 It could be just everybody reached the same point at the same time.
00:19:07.600 But I think it helps to see somebody not get killed for saying it out loud.
00:19:13.760 And I hope I was useful.
00:19:19.520 But it's not something I can claim credit for.
00:19:23.800 Who's texting me?
00:19:26.200 Oh, good.
00:19:28.340 All right.
00:19:30.200 So that's really interesting.
00:19:31.780 Now, I think nobody's surprised that Tulsi had some problems with the Democrats.
00:19:39.880 But the fact that she left them stating anti-white racism as one of the key reasons,
00:19:47.320 that is one of the gutsiest things I've ever seen.
00:19:51.460 Have you ever seen anything that gutsy?
00:19:53.340 Like, what was the last thing you saw that was that brave?
00:19:58.760 I actually can't think of anything right now.
00:20:00.620 Well, yeah, Trump, maybe.
00:20:04.300 Kanye, maybe.
00:20:05.060 Yeah, okay, Kanye.
00:20:07.260 But, you know, here's the difference.
00:20:09.240 Kanye's an entertainer.
00:20:11.220 And provoking is his job.
00:20:13.980 He provokes for a living.
00:20:16.140 Where politicians are typically not that kind of thing.
00:20:19.900 Yeah, okay.
00:20:21.500 Yeah, maybe Matt Gase.
00:20:23.040 So there are a few people who have bucked the system.
00:20:30.620 I wonder if Kanye made a difference to Tulsi being able to say that out loud in a full-throated way.
00:20:44.380 I mean, where he goes, white lives matter.
00:20:46.360 I think maybe all of this is in the mix.
00:20:50.540 Here is the least surprising story of all time.
00:20:54.420 What would be the least surprising thing you could ever hear in the news?
00:20:59.300 Schiff lied.
00:21:01.960 Adam Schiff lied.
00:21:04.220 Or specifically, he's being accused of doctoring evidence of an email on January 6th.
00:21:12.080 Apparently, Schiff actually attributed a lawyer's email to Jordan, Representative Jordan.
00:21:22.540 Now, if you see an email that comes from a lawyer, clearly it's a whole different frame of reference than a politician.
00:21:31.800 So imagine how damning that would be, to imagine that the politician said what the lawyer said in confidence.
00:21:41.560 And that is messed up.
00:21:43.820 I mean, you don't even need to know the details, do you?
00:21:46.060 That is messed up.
00:21:48.440 And he also changed some of the words, apparently.
00:21:51.060 So I think the email was changed, and then the author of the email was changed.
00:21:56.520 And he presented this to the American public as part of the January 6th thing.
00:22:03.220 Now, do you think there will be any penalty for that?
00:22:09.180 Because I think not.
00:22:11.000 Because he's been getting away with it for now years, right?
00:22:14.340 He literally can just make stuff up, present it to the public, and there's no blowback at all.
00:22:19.780 It doesn't cost him anything.
00:22:24.040 It's amazing.
00:22:25.700 You know, and Mark Levin, and people are saying he should be disbarred.
00:22:30.340 Disbarred?
00:22:31.400 He should be impeached.
00:22:33.560 You can impeach House of Representatives, right?
00:22:37.680 Right?
00:22:38.660 Can somebody give me a fact check on that?
00:22:41.460 I'm seeing a no and a yes.
00:22:43.740 No, but similar.
00:22:44.540 There's some kind of sanctioning, censured thing.
00:22:48.600 You can be censured.
00:22:50.420 Censored?
00:22:50.980 Yes, censured, not censored.
00:22:53.780 Yeah.
00:22:54.160 Okay.
00:22:55.200 Well, Republicans are going to have no time to govern if they become the power.
00:23:01.700 They're just going to be having hearings about all these Democrats.
00:23:04.100 Rasmussen did a poll to see how much people trusted electronic voting machines.
00:23:11.260 What do you think, before I tell you the answer?
00:23:14.300 Do you think that an electronic voting machine is more or less secure than manual paper ballots?
00:23:21.400 Is a voting machine more or less secure?
00:23:24.740 More or less?
00:23:27.280 Same.
00:23:28.020 Less.
00:23:28.640 Less.
00:23:29.200 Less.
00:23:30.280 Depends.
00:23:31.140 Less.
00:23:32.880 Less.
00:23:33.820 So many of you do distrust voting machines.
00:23:37.560 Yeah.
00:23:39.760 I think it's six of one and half a dozen of the other.
00:23:44.420 Here's why.
00:23:45.100 I think your odds of getting caught, if you tried something with electronic machines, might
00:23:52.520 be a little higher under some circumstances.
00:23:55.260 It would depend who did it, right?
00:23:57.180 If it were some insider, maybe that's hard to catch, so that would be the biggest risk.
00:24:02.040 But maybe if some hacker got in, the insiders would catch it.
00:24:06.000 So, I don't know.
00:24:08.220 I don't think we know, but I can see why you could go either way.
00:24:12.160 But here's what the Rasmussen results were.
00:24:14.040 So, 39% of likely U.S. voters think electronic voting machines make it easier to cheat.
00:24:22.040 39%.
00:24:22.560 So, that's basically all the Republicans.
00:24:24.880 So, Republicans, I think, don't like electronic voting machines.
00:24:28.520 I forgot to look at the cross tab, so I'm just making that up.
00:24:32.700 I don't believe it's just Republicans, but probably primarily.
00:24:37.060 That's my guess.
00:24:37.700 All right.
00:24:39.360 Florida is now not recommending vaccines for males 18 to 39.
00:24:48.800 I thought we've known that for a while, haven't we?
00:24:53.340 Haven't we known that for a while?
00:24:55.640 And would you be surprised that a new study or some new information has come out?
00:25:00.000 Now, I have to warn you in advance, I'm going to get really mad at some of you.
00:25:06.360 Okay?
00:25:07.480 Not all of you.
00:25:08.980 But I'm going to get mad at some of you, because this is going to trigger you into mind-reading
00:25:13.140 and accusing me of shit I didn't do.
00:25:15.020 So, when you mind-read me and accuse me of some shit I didn't do, I'm going to go off on you.
00:25:20.960 Are you ready?
00:25:21.940 Because I know you will.
00:25:23.660 Right?
00:25:24.160 Because there's somebody in this group who's going to mind-read and then falsely accuse me of something.
00:25:29.740 Are you ready?
00:25:30.900 So, let's just do this, because I'm feeling a little aggressive today.
00:25:35.620 So, let's just fight this out.
00:25:37.320 So, apparently a Pfizer director has now admitted in public that they did not test the Pfizer vaccination for stopping the spread.
00:25:54.260 Whoa, wait, what?
00:25:58.460 Let me say it again, because you probably thought you heard it wrong.
00:26:01.420 Pfizer's vaccination, which was designed and marketed to stop the spread of COVID, according to a Pfizer director,
00:26:11.360 they did not test whether it works to stop the spread.
00:26:17.360 Does it feel like you're hearing me wrong or something?
00:26:21.500 Right?
00:26:23.000 So, they actually said that.
00:26:25.340 Do you believe that?
00:26:26.440 Do you believe that they did not test to see if a vaccination acts like a vaccination?
00:26:33.500 Do you think that they didn't test the primary purpose of it?
00:26:38.560 Well, Owen Gregorian on Twitter saw that tweet, and he tweets us,
00:26:47.540 even this is a lie.
00:26:49.640 Nobody develops a vaccine and does not test whether it stops transmission.
00:26:54.540 That is correct.
00:26:56.440 That is correct.
00:26:58.860 Nobody develops a vaccine and doesn't test to see if it stops transmission.
00:27:05.420 You can conclude from this, not with 100% certainty,
00:27:10.400 but anybody with business experience,
00:27:13.880 all of you who do not have big business experience,
00:27:18.360 stay quiet for a moment, okay?
00:27:20.780 So, just for a moment, I'm going to ask you,
00:27:22.600 only the people who have big business experience tell me what happened.
00:27:27.960 They did test to see if it spreads.
00:27:30.860 The initial information showed it didn't work,
00:27:33.960 so they stopped looking at it.
00:27:37.420 Tell me I'm wrong.
00:27:38.460 They, of course, tested it.
00:27:41.360 The initial information said it didn't work,
00:27:44.200 and now they're saying they never looked.
00:27:46.880 You know that's what happened.
00:27:50.260 Am I right?
00:27:51.600 And again, everybody with big company experience,
00:27:54.320 do you think they didn't test?
00:27:56.260 You think they didn't run any tests?
00:27:57.840 So, I feel bad because Owen Gregorian basically told me
00:28:07.040 what I should have seen immediately,
00:28:08.800 which is, of course they tested.
00:28:11.020 Of course they did.
00:28:13.340 Now, it's possible that this one director is just wrong or lying
00:28:17.500 or misspoke or something.
00:28:19.260 That's possible, too.
00:28:20.140 But, oh my God.
00:28:22.940 I mean, if this were true, which seems highly unlikely,
00:28:26.700 well, either way, somebody needs to go to jail, don't you think?
00:28:31.420 Based on what we've seen so far,
00:28:35.760 now, you know, of course everybody's innocent until proven guilty,
00:28:38.860 so I'm not accusing any specific person,
00:28:41.240 but what we've seen based on this
00:28:43.900 strongly suggests somebody needs to be in jail for a long time.
00:28:50.140 That won't happen.
00:28:54.460 I saw a tweet by David Maritosko
00:28:58.080 talking about lithium and Ukraine and Russia.
00:29:02.780 And David says that lithium oxide deposits in Ukraine
00:29:06.760 are more important to Russia than some people understand.
00:29:10.620 Because remember, the mystery about lithium
00:29:12.980 is that it's everywhere and also rare.
00:29:17.780 That's why we're all confused about it.
00:29:20.140 Because those two things are both true.
00:29:22.380 It's everywhere, like there are tons of countries
00:29:24.560 that have plenty of lithium, and it's rare.
00:29:28.280 Now, we know it's rare because the price of lithium
00:29:30.680 has gone up, I don't know, 10 times or something.
00:29:33.080 So the price is very clear that it's rare.
00:29:36.140 So how could it be everywhere and still be rare?
00:29:39.600 And the answer is it's hard to mine, apparently.
00:29:42.200 I don't know the details, but between the environmental catastrophe it causes
00:29:46.620 and, you know, how hard it would be to get it approved
00:29:50.780 and maybe even where it is, stuff like that.
00:29:53.740 So it must be just really hard to do.
00:29:56.000 So that's why there's a shortage.
00:29:58.580 But as David Maritosko points out,
00:30:00.740 and I didn't know this, this is good information,
00:30:03.960 Chinese companies have applied this year
00:30:05.660 for exploring and mining permits,
00:30:08.060 especially in Donetsk.
00:30:10.780 And Putin, this is again David saying,
00:30:12.980 Putin knows that if he doesn't get them,
00:30:15.560 meaning the rights to the lithium mining,
00:30:19.420 if Putin knows that if he doesn't get them,
00:30:22.700 China will.
00:30:23.240 So, no, I don't think lithium is the whole reason
00:30:29.420 for the Ukraine problem.
00:30:32.080 Because you've got the, you know,
00:30:33.660 the empire building, the history,
00:30:36.460 the, you know, the all kinds of reasons.
00:30:40.920 But I think lithium is one of them.
00:30:43.560 I think it's one of them.
00:30:49.500 So Europe is doomed.
00:30:53.240 According to Europe.
00:30:58.300 So there was a speech by a European Union top diplomat,
00:31:03.860 this guy, Joseph Borelli.
00:31:08.400 And he was talking about Europe,
00:31:11.600 and he said this,
00:31:13.420 that the Europe's security was provided
00:31:18.380 by the United States,
00:31:19.720 and their prosperity was provided
00:31:22.400 by cheap Russian energy
00:31:23.860 and Chinese goods.
00:31:27.340 And that that world doesn't exist anymore.
00:31:29.920 So that the world that made Europe successful
00:31:32.900 doesn't exist anymore.
00:31:36.000 Because they don't have the U.S. to keep them safe,
00:31:38.780 and they don't have Russian energy,
00:31:40.680 and they don't have cheap Chinese goods,
00:31:43.540 perhaps, in the future.
00:31:44.500 That's a pretty bold and dangerous,
00:31:49.560 but maybe true, statement.
00:31:53.720 I've never, yeah, just the way he framed that
00:31:56.420 is just, wow.
00:31:58.660 So, you know, I told you,
00:32:00.180 I'm writing a book on reframes.
00:32:02.680 How to take something that is a familiar situation
00:32:05.760 and just sort of twist it
00:32:07.620 so you can deal with it better.
00:32:11.220 This was kind of a shockingly,
00:32:13.680 it's like a slap in the face, isn't it?
00:32:15.880 Like, I read this, and I was like,
00:32:17.640 oh, maybe I have to worry about everything over there.
00:32:21.960 Like, they could be in serious trouble.
00:32:23.700 I don't think so.
00:32:25.100 I think that they will adjust.
00:32:26.620 You know, the Adams Law of Slow-Moving Disasters
00:32:29.360 suggests they'll find ways to protect themselves
00:32:32.140 and be prosperous.
00:32:33.860 But they might have a little,
00:32:35.040 might take them a little time.
00:32:40.760 So, Adam Schiff was also getting on in other news.
00:32:47.640 He was saying that Saudi Arabia is being bad
00:32:50.540 by, you know, not giving us more oil.
00:32:54.580 And that we shouldn't depend on Saudi Arabia
00:32:56.920 in the long term for our oil,
00:32:58.880 because, you know, that's a sketchy thing.
00:33:00.980 Now, let me ask you this.
00:33:05.580 You remember the Khashoggi thing, right?
00:33:09.120 So, Saudi Arabia, obviously,
00:33:11.460 murders Khashoggi, a critic,
00:33:14.180 and then cut him up with a bone saw
00:33:16.840 and carried him out in bags,
00:33:20.160 and then denied they did it.
00:33:22.420 And what does President Trump do?
00:33:25.500 He acts like he's taking their word for it.
00:33:28.320 And I say acts like,
00:33:30.480 because obviously he knew what happened.
00:33:32.580 So, Trump goes easy on Saudi Arabia,
00:33:35.040 and then what happened to Trump
00:33:36.100 for going easy on Saudi Arabia?
00:33:39.020 He got just killed for that.
00:33:42.860 He just ate shit for months and months.
00:33:46.600 The critics were just jamming poles up his butt
00:33:50.240 and slapping him in the head.
00:33:51.800 And he really took some abuse.
00:33:55.460 Do you know why he did that?
00:33:57.580 Why did he take all that abuse
00:33:59.260 and be contrarian to most of the rest of the world?
00:34:04.100 Because he wanted Saudi Arabia to owe him a favor.
00:34:09.280 Then why did he do that?
00:34:10.400 And soon after that,
00:34:15.300 he started to make the accords,
00:34:17.140 which required Saudi agreement.
00:34:20.200 Now, imagine if Trump were in power.
00:34:24.360 Saudi Arabia still owes him that favor,
00:34:27.400 because that one doesn't go away.
00:34:29.080 That favor does not go away,
00:34:31.280 because all it would take is Trump to say,
00:34:32.920 you know, maybe he did kill Khashoggi.
00:34:36.400 It would take one truth message from Trump saying,
00:34:42.960 you know, as I think about it,
00:34:45.000 maybe they did kill Khashoggi, right?
00:34:47.500 I mean, they still owe Trump for protecting Saudi Arabia,
00:34:51.840 the crown prince specifically.
00:34:54.940 I think if Trump had been president,
00:34:56.860 he would have gotten a different response
00:34:58.600 when asking the Saudis to pump more oil.
00:35:01.440 What do you think?
00:35:06.400 What do you think?
00:35:09.760 Yeah, Khashoggi was a mother,
00:35:11.700 you know, he wasn't necessarily a good guy.
00:35:15.920 So I'm not saying that Saudi Arabia didn't have a reason.
00:35:20.140 I'm just saying you shouldn't cut people up with bone saws.
00:35:24.800 All right.
00:35:25.340 I think it was 100% Biden's fault that Saudi Arabia said no,
00:35:30.720 because I think Trump would have gotten a yes.
00:35:32.920 We don't know.
00:35:34.200 There's no way to know.
00:35:35.340 But the situation is strongly suggestive
00:35:37.700 that Trump would have gotten a yes.
00:35:41.720 Don't know.
00:35:43.840 All right, ladies and gentlemen,
00:35:45.120 I feel like I forgot something important.
00:35:48.840 Is anything else happening today?
00:35:53.140 Oh, yes.
00:35:55.340 Why did I skip this for some reason?
00:35:59.020 So there's a new study out
00:36:00.280 that supports Florida's recommendation
00:36:05.540 to not vaccinate young men.
00:36:08.400 And the new report suggests
00:36:11.520 that it's dangerous for young men
00:36:15.380 to take the vaccination.
00:36:17.840 How long did it take people to rip up the new study?
00:36:21.920 About 10 seconds.
00:36:23.160 Do you all believe the new study
00:36:26.260 because it agrees with what you already believed
00:36:28.320 about myocarditis?
00:36:30.320 Of course you do.
00:36:31.800 Did you notice the study doesn't have a name on it?
00:36:36.860 I'm watching the internet,
00:36:38.640 and people absolutely bought this study,
00:36:42.280 absolutely bought into it.
00:36:43.780 And then somebody else in the comments says,
00:36:45.660 it doesn't even have a name on it.
00:36:47.460 It's not only not peer-reviewed,
00:36:51.200 but the person who wrote it
00:36:52.560 doesn't even want you to know who it is.
00:36:55.640 And apparently the sample group was small,
00:36:58.240 and there were other problems.
00:36:59.320 So I think we've reached a point
00:37:08.360 where we can say with complete confidence
00:37:11.540 there's no such thing as a scientific study on COVID
00:37:14.380 that we can believe.
00:37:17.980 How many would agree with that statement?
00:37:20.360 There's no such thing as a study.
00:37:22.440 And here's going to be the,
00:37:24.340 I'm not against science,
00:37:25.660 because remember science is not about one study.
00:37:29.320 So there's nothing I'm saying against science.
00:37:32.140 I'm saying that science requires lots of studies
00:37:35.200 because it's the lots of studies
00:37:37.320 that get some study to check the bad work
00:37:39.460 of the other study,
00:37:40.400 and then they fight it out.
00:37:41.740 Over time you get close to the truth.
00:37:44.500 But as soon as you say a study helped me,
00:37:47.660 well, you're not in science.
00:37:50.480 Science would say don't believe one study.
00:37:52.780 So I'm pro-science by saying don't believe that study.
00:37:57.980 Everybody agree with that?
00:37:59.720 So if I say don't believe the study
00:38:01.680 that says that the vaccination is dangerous,
00:38:04.340 don't believe it,
00:38:06.240 that's consistent with science.
00:38:08.800 And it doesn't matter what the study said.
00:38:11.180 Could have said it was good for you,
00:38:12.500 could have said it was bad for you,
00:38:13.600 could have been a good study,
00:38:14.600 could have been a bad study.
00:38:15.760 In all of those cases,
00:38:18.060 you should not believe it
00:38:19.640 because that's not how science works.
00:38:22.780 Science doesn't work by believing studies.
00:38:25.960 It's the opposite of that.
00:38:27.380 Actually, it would be closer to say
00:38:29.120 science is about doubting all of your studies.
00:38:32.240 How about that?
00:38:34.060 That kind of works for me.
00:38:35.660 When you say a good, quick definition of science
00:38:38.520 is doubting all of your information,
00:38:41.360 doubting all of your studies all the time,
00:38:43.480 because it's the doubting
00:38:44.840 that allows you to crawl forward.
00:38:47.040 It's not the believing.
00:38:48.160 So it's the doubting
00:38:50.620 that's the active part of science,
00:38:51.960 not the believing part.
00:38:54.660 But I think that's a good way to say it.
00:38:58.360 All right.
00:38:59.500 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:39:01.780 do you feel something's changing?
00:39:05.800 Do you feel like there's just something
00:39:07.800 big-ish changing in the world,
00:39:10.960 and you can't quite put your finger on it?
00:39:13.140 That's what it feels like to me.
00:39:16.980 Yeah.
00:39:17.220 I feel like until the pandemic,
00:39:20.040 every year was sort of a reasonable projection
00:39:23.340 from the year before.
00:39:25.540 You know what I mean?
00:39:27.560 Like, you know, it wasn't 1996
00:39:29.880 pretty close to 1995.
00:39:33.020 It didn't seem that different to me
00:39:34.600 if you were around then.
00:39:36.220 But this year doesn't feel like anything.
00:39:43.360 There's nothing about this year
00:39:45.100 that I can identify with any prior experience.
00:39:49.000 And I've been around a while, right?
00:39:52.680 And remember when...
00:39:54.900 Is it true Trump is back on Twitter?
00:39:58.760 Are you seeing a rumor about that?
00:40:00.540 There's no...
00:40:01.220 If Trump were back on Twitter,
00:40:03.520 my entire feed would be lighting up right now.
00:40:06.040 So I'm going to say that's not true
00:40:07.600 because there's no way
00:40:09.360 that only one person would be asking about it.
00:40:11.960 So I'm guessing that's not true.
00:40:15.520 But I imagine it would be.
00:40:17.020 I imagine it would be
00:40:18.080 if in the moment that the sale is completed,
00:40:22.120 if it is.
00:40:24.520 Are there fake Trump accounts?
00:40:26.280 Probably fake accounts.
00:40:29.580 I see repeated comments
00:40:31.960 that Cernovich retweeted a DeSantis ad
00:40:34.460 that switched you from Trump to DeSantis.
00:40:38.600 Eh.
00:40:39.740 Yeah.
00:40:40.780 You know, I don't think it matters
00:40:42.500 that X number of voters
00:40:44.900 would prefer DeSantis over Trump.
00:40:47.480 How will that ever matter?
00:40:49.520 The only thing that matters
00:40:50.300 is whether Trump is running.
00:40:52.160 If he runs,
00:40:54.600 he'll get nominated.
00:40:55.240 All right.
00:41:00.600 So what feels different
00:41:01.900 is that this is the first time
00:41:03.900 we all understand
00:41:04.780 we can't believe our experts
00:41:06.100 and our science.
00:41:08.480 I believe that we used to walk around
00:41:10.620 in a zombie-like fog of hypnosis
00:41:14.940 in which we thought
00:41:16.580 that when the experts told us something,
00:41:18.100 it was probably true.
00:41:19.540 And when the government told us something,
00:41:21.180 it was probably true.
00:41:22.140 I mean, sometimes not,
00:41:24.500 but probably true.
00:41:25.960 And when the science said,
00:41:27.560 here's our new study,
00:41:28.400 we would say to ourselves,
00:41:29.620 well, it could be wrong.
00:41:31.540 Could be.
00:41:32.400 But probably true.
00:41:34.020 Now what do you say?
00:41:35.700 Probably not true.
00:41:37.480 If I see a scientific study,
00:41:39.300 I say probably not true.
00:41:41.040 At least two-thirds not true.
00:41:43.080 I don't know if that's actually
00:41:44.500 a good number.
00:41:45.300 It just feels like that.
00:41:46.780 And if I see the government
00:41:48.100 say anything,
00:41:49.780 I say not true.
00:41:51.060 It doesn't matter which side.
00:41:53.320 It doesn't matter
00:41:53.740 if it's Democrat or Republican.
00:41:55.400 I just automatically say,
00:41:56.840 oh, you're leaving out context.
00:41:58.000 It's not true.
00:41:59.400 So what do you do
00:42:00.360 in a world where
00:42:00.920 you don't believe anything?
00:42:03.080 You have to rely on your systems.
00:42:06.020 You have to hope
00:42:06.820 that your systems get you through
00:42:08.220 because our brains
00:42:09.700 are not capable
00:42:10.480 of navigating
00:42:11.400 our current situation.
00:42:12.960 But our systems might.
00:42:14.880 So one of the systems
00:42:15.840 is the election system.
00:42:17.780 And I'm going to make
00:42:18.600 this point again
00:42:19.540 because this is such
00:42:21.540 a good build-up to it.
00:42:23.280 The point of an election
00:42:24.580 is not to pick
00:42:25.380 the best person.
00:42:27.220 That is an illusion.
00:42:29.540 The point of the election
00:42:30.840 is to be able
00:42:31.560 to move forward.
00:42:34.100 That's the point.
00:42:35.400 Especially when you have
00:42:36.280 elections that end up
00:42:37.120 being close.
00:42:38.460 You know,
00:42:38.700 if somebody's winning,
00:42:39.620 you know,
00:42:40.900 52 to 48,
00:42:42.260 that means the public
00:42:44.320 didn't really know
00:42:45.240 who was going to do
00:42:45.920 the best job.
00:42:47.340 That's a jump ball.
00:42:49.080 And that's what
00:42:49.540 most of our elections are.
00:42:51.140 It's the public
00:42:51.760 not really knowing
00:42:52.620 who would do the best job.
00:42:54.140 They might have
00:42:54.680 some preferences
00:42:55.340 of some policies,
00:42:56.620 but they don't know
00:42:57.240 who's going to pull it off
00:42:58.560 overall,
00:43:00.200 the best job.
00:43:00.840 They don't know.
00:43:01.800 But we do know
00:43:02.880 we need to move on.
00:43:05.000 We can't have a dictator,
00:43:06.140 so we need to get
00:43:06.700 a new president.
00:43:07.680 Our system
00:43:08.420 compensates for
00:43:10.180 a complete inability
00:43:11.200 to reason.
00:43:13.060 And that's what
00:43:13.520 a good system does.
00:43:15.060 Total inability
00:43:15.920 to reason.
00:43:19.020 Tulsi is setting up
00:43:20.100 to be Trump's VP.
00:43:22.140 That's what it looked
00:43:23.040 like, didn't it?
00:43:24.420 It looked like that,
00:43:25.560 didn't it?
00:43:27.200 How much would
00:43:28.180 Trump love
00:43:29.300 Tulsi Gabbard
00:43:31.560 as a VP?
00:43:34.540 I think he'd love it,
00:43:36.000 wouldn't he?
00:43:38.020 Because both of them
00:43:39.100 would have been
00:43:39.620 Democrats who became
00:43:40.720 Republicans.
00:43:42.160 Boom.
00:43:44.420 Trump always says,
00:43:46.060 and you know,
00:43:46.800 this is one of the things
00:43:47.580 I always appreciated
00:43:48.780 about Trump's honesty.
00:43:50.440 Even when he says
00:43:51.400 things that make you
00:43:52.520 cringe,
00:43:53.720 if they're honest,
00:43:55.360 you're still like,
00:43:56.400 okay,
00:43:57.500 at least it was honest.
00:43:58.900 And one of the things
00:43:59.580 he always says
00:44:00.780 that makes most of us
00:44:02.160 cringe,
00:44:03.100 but is honest,
00:44:05.080 is that looks matter.
00:44:06.340 And I know that he
00:44:08.840 would say something
00:44:09.500 about Tulsi being
00:44:11.700 attractive.
00:44:12.820 Because it matters.
00:44:14.240 It does matter.
00:44:15.460 And he likes that
00:44:16.300 central casting
00:44:17.360 kind of thing.
00:44:18.520 It's kind of perfect.
00:44:23.140 Have you tried
00:44:23.640 the Gary Payton
00:44:24.660 strain of weed?
00:44:26.080 I haven't,
00:44:26.680 but it sounds good.
00:44:27.340 She didn't say
00:44:31.440 a party affiliation,
00:44:32.440 that's right.
00:44:33.080 So there's no indication
00:44:34.540 that Tulsi would be
00:44:35.460 a Republican.
00:44:36.540 But there's also
00:44:37.460 no indication
00:44:38.620 that she's rejecting it.
00:44:40.160 One assumes
00:44:41.660 that she's independent.
00:44:43.840 But would there be
00:44:44.800 any reason
00:44:46.040 an independent
00:44:47.500 couldn't be
00:44:48.140 his VP choice?
00:44:50.980 I imagine
00:44:51.780 that would be
00:44:52.160 a problem,
00:44:52.840 but not legally.
00:44:54.320 It wouldn't be
00:44:54.700 a legal problem.
00:44:58.480 Her progressive
00:44:59.540 gun grab rules
00:45:00.800 are out for
00:45:01.360 a Republican ticket.
00:45:02.500 No.
00:45:03.860 No.
00:45:05.280 Not as Vice President.
00:45:07.400 See,
00:45:07.920 that's the magic
00:45:08.800 of Vice President.
00:45:10.160 The Vice President
00:45:10.920 doesn't have to have
00:45:11.620 the same policies
00:45:12.420 exactly as the President.
00:45:14.500 As long as Trump
00:45:15.740 has a policy
00:45:17.200 you're okay with,
00:45:18.340 it'll be like
00:45:19.700 Pence.
00:45:20.680 Pence had some
00:45:21.460 opinions that did
00:45:22.240 not agree with Trump.
00:45:24.060 But as Vice President,
00:45:25.120 he was a great
00:45:25.600 Vice President,
00:45:26.280 in my opinion.
00:45:28.000 I think Pence
00:45:29.360 will never get
00:45:30.040 the credit he deserves
00:45:31.140 for being a great
00:45:31.960 Vice President.
00:45:33.320 I just don't want
00:45:34.040 him to be President.
00:45:36.940 Yeah.
00:45:37.500 One of the great ones.
00:45:38.540 And he was great
00:45:39.240 because of the
00:45:39.760 problems he didn't
00:45:40.520 make.
00:45:42.700 His unforced errors
00:45:45.200 were close to zero.
00:45:47.680 I mean,
00:45:47.900 I don't know how
00:45:48.300 you do that
00:45:48.720 for four years
00:45:49.460 when everybody's
00:45:50.720 watching.
00:45:53.440 Yeah,
00:45:53.640 the VPs
00:45:54.100 can become
00:45:54.700 President,
00:45:56.020 but I think
00:45:56.920 that she would
00:45:58.320 know that
00:45:58.920 to get
00:45:59.940 continued support
00:46:00.900 from her own
00:46:01.480 base,
00:46:01.800 she'd have to be
00:46:02.360 compatible with
00:46:02.980 the base
00:46:03.320 or convince you
00:46:05.120 to change your
00:46:05.620 mind.
00:46:05.880 I doubt
00:46:06.820 that's going
00:46:07.220 to happen.
00:46:09.640 Yeah.
00:46:10.080 Yeah,
00:46:10.480 it's not a big
00:46:10.980 problem if they're
00:46:11.640 not exactly
00:46:12.280 policy aligned.
00:46:14.280 They could be
00:46:15.180 90% and that's
00:46:16.360 good enough.
00:46:21.280 DeSantis is a
00:46:22.140 better choice.
00:46:22.900 DeSantis is not
00:46:23.840 a better choice
00:46:24.420 for a VP.
00:46:26.260 How many think
00:46:27.140 DeSantis is a
00:46:28.320 good choice
00:46:28.780 for a VP?
00:46:29.240 To me,
00:46:30.420 that's the worst
00:46:30.900 idea.
00:46:33.260 Yeah.
00:46:33.840 You never pick
00:46:35.120 a VP that
00:46:36.040 the public
00:46:36.720 will say,
00:46:37.840 you know,
00:46:38.780 I'm just
00:46:40.760 saying,
00:46:41.640 if you reverse
00:46:42.960 that party,
00:46:44.380 if you put
00:46:46.000 DeSantis at
00:46:46.700 the top,
00:46:47.320 you don't want
00:46:47.920 to have that
00:46:48.380 conversation
00:46:49.060 even once.
00:46:50.800 But,
00:46:51.620 imagine
00:46:52.520 Tulsi Gabbard
00:46:54.760 being a
00:46:55.340 vice president
00:46:55.860 for Trump,
00:46:56.960 hypothetically.
00:46:58.400 Would you
00:46:58.880 say to yourself
00:46:59.480 automatically,
00:47:01.040 I think Tulsi
00:47:01.760 should be the
00:47:02.600 actual president
00:47:03.480 candidate?
00:47:04.700 Probably not.
00:47:06.460 Probably not.
00:47:08.440 Some would.
00:47:09.560 Some would,
00:47:10.260 but it wouldn't
00:47:10.620 be a big
00:47:11.140 conversation,
00:47:11.920 would it?
00:47:12.780 I don't think
00:47:13.420 it would be
00:47:13.700 a big conversation.
00:47:15.540 It would be,
00:47:16.000 you know,
00:47:16.440 something you'd
00:47:17.440 yak about.
00:47:19.540 All right.
00:47:21.100 I think that's
00:47:21.840 a good situation.
00:47:23.780 That's a good
00:47:24.460 situation.
00:47:24.900 If Tulsi is
00:47:29.980 VP,
00:47:30.440 what happens
00:47:30.900 next time?
00:47:31.900 Well,
00:47:32.280 VPs don't
00:47:33.440 usually become
00:47:34.120 president,
00:47:34.620 do they?
00:47:36.860 Isn't it?
00:47:38.380 How often
00:47:39.140 does a VP
00:47:39.680 become a
00:47:40.260 president?
00:47:40.920 One in four?
00:47:42.780 One in four,
00:47:43.680 maybe?
00:47:44.660 What's the
00:47:45.100 ratio?
00:47:45.500 of vice
00:47:48.960 presidents
00:47:49.380 becoming
00:47:49.760 presidents?
00:47:50.640 Yeah,
00:47:50.820 so there's
00:47:51.160 Bush Sr.
00:47:55.760 What was
00:47:56.520 the one
00:47:56.780 before Bush
00:47:57.540 Sr.?
00:47:59.160 Four,
00:47:59.760 that's a
00:48:00.160 special case.
00:48:03.120 Well,
00:48:03.820 Biden's,
00:48:04.600 I don't
00:48:05.020 know.
00:48:06.840 Biden's a
00:48:07.480 special case
00:48:08.100 too.
00:48:08.940 Johnson,
00:48:09.960 Johnson's a
00:48:10.680 special case.
00:48:13.920 Okay.
00:48:14.440 Yeah,
00:48:15.400 so it
00:48:15.640 seems like
00:48:16.020 it's more
00:48:16.340 of a
00:48:16.580 special case
00:48:17.340 situation
00:48:18.060 where
00:48:18.340 something
00:48:18.620 happens
00:48:19.020 to the
00:48:19.340 president.
00:48:21.520 Yeah.
00:48:22.680 I don't
00:48:23.480 think you
00:48:23.820 want somebody
00:48:24.380 as strong
00:48:24.800 as DeSantis
00:48:25.360 in the
00:48:25.760 VP spot.
00:48:27.400 You do
00:48:28.060 not.
00:48:29.780 Now,
00:48:30.120 suppose you
00:48:31.140 had DeSantis
00:48:31.700 as chief
00:48:32.380 of staff.
00:48:34.460 How about
00:48:35.080 that?
00:48:36.180 What if
00:48:36.760 DeSantis
00:48:37.260 were chief
00:48:37.920 of staff?
00:48:42.840 That.
00:48:43.320 I don't
00:48:44.440 think he
00:48:44.700 would take
00:48:44.980 that job,
00:48:46.380 but that
00:48:47.120 would be
00:48:47.900 kind of
00:48:48.200 amazing.
00:48:48.920 I can't
00:48:49.320 see him
00:48:49.520 taking that
00:48:49.880 job.
00:48:50.020 He's more
00:48:50.340 of a
00:48:50.560 leader than
00:48:51.060 a chief
00:48:51.900 of staff
00:48:52.260 guy.
00:48:52.720 I think
00:48:53.000 he needs
00:48:53.300 to be
00:48:53.500 a leader.
00:48:55.000 It would
00:48:55.220 be a
00:48:55.400 strong package.
00:48:58.920 Well,
00:48:59.380 Trump can't
00:48:59.940 share the
00:49:00.380 limelight.
00:49:00.900 That's why
00:49:01.220 a chief
00:49:01.580 of staff
00:49:02.000 would be
00:49:02.620 potentially
00:49:03.600 a good
00:49:03.940 way,
00:49:04.240 because the
00:49:05.040 chief of
00:49:05.360 staff doesn't
00:49:05.800 get that
00:49:06.240 much attention.
00:49:06.840 chief of
00:49:14.140 staff is
00:49:14.660 a leader
00:49:15.120 behind the
00:49:16.520 scenes,
00:49:17.100 but not a
00:49:18.080 leader that
00:49:18.500 the public
00:49:18.980 recognizes,
00:49:20.600 unless they
00:49:21.280 really pay
00:49:21.660 attention.
00:49:24.840 All right,
00:49:25.660 that's all for
00:49:26.260 now.
