00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and I'm so proud of you for making it here on time, because last night was, of course, a big party night, but you managed to rally.
00:00:17.500 You managed to rally. Good for you.
00:00:19.360 If you'd like to take it up a notch, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:27.040 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:30.940 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine today, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:36.780 It's called the simultaneous sip. Go.
00:00:43.560 Ah, so good stuff.
00:00:46.780 Yes, if you hadn't noticed, I am wearing my Voldemort Zelensky, president of Ukraine, disguise.
00:00:56.660 Some of you thought you were watching the actual president of Ukraine.
00:01:01.320 No, it's me.
00:01:02.480 It's me. It's Scott. It's Scott.
00:01:05.120 I know. It looks exactly like him.
00:01:08.160 But let me tell you the weirdest thing that happened.
00:01:11.720 How many of you have noticed that the advertisements that you're fed are based on things you've said?
00:01:21.240 How many people have noticed that you were talking about something out loud, and the next thing you know, you get fed that?
00:01:27.840 Okay. You've all seen that.
00:01:29.620 Okay. All right.
00:01:31.300 I see your answers. Good.
00:01:33.360 All right. Now, next question.
00:01:35.280 So stop answering that. Here's your next question.
00:01:37.780 Has anybody had the experience of only thinking about something and then seeing the ad serve to you?
00:01:47.440 Has anybody yet thinking about it?
00:01:49.960 Okay. Let me give you my example from yesterday.
00:01:56.740 Now, I assume it's a coincidence, but let me give you my example, which is not that unusual.
00:02:04.060 All right.
00:02:04.720 So yesterday, I gave Snickers a bath.
00:02:08.420 I was all alone, and I don't know if I said anything out loud that would have suggested bath or anything else.
00:02:19.900 And then I dried her off with a towel.
00:02:22.520 But you know how hard it is to dry off a dog with a towel?
00:02:26.020 Even if you have infinite towels, for some reason, they don't dry off.
00:02:30.800 Right?
00:02:31.400 You just can't get the water off them.
00:02:32.980 And then I said to myself, wouldn't it be great if there were some kind of air dryer just for the dog?
00:02:41.880 Because if I use a hair dryer, it's going to be loud and, you know, scare the dog.
00:02:46.600 But I thought, somebody should make some kind of a hair dryer just for the dog.
00:02:53.860 Today, I open up my Instagram.
00:02:57.400 Somebody has developed a dryer for a cat.
00:03:01.000 Not a dog, but a cat.
00:03:05.440 And that actual advertisement was, it's a little sort of a box with fans.
00:03:11.600 And you put your cat in the box, and it dries the cat off after the cat gets a bath.
00:03:16.700 Have you ever seen those before?
00:03:19.100 Well, let me ask this.
00:03:20.480 Have you ever seen an advertisement for it in your feed?
00:03:24.340 Has anybody ever seen that advertisement in their feed?
00:03:29.220 I've never seen it.
00:03:30.340 And the one day I was saying to myself, wouldn't it be great if there was some way to dry my dog off?
00:03:36.940 There's a freaking cat dryer that shows up in my feed.
00:03:40.460 I've never seen that.
00:03:42.460 I am positive I would remember if I'd ever seen that even once.
00:03:48.400 Now, here's my question.
00:03:49.740 Is social media actually able to figure out my intentions?
00:03:58.020 Like, did it somehow pick up that I was washing an animal and that was enough?
00:04:04.820 Maybe it did.
00:04:06.600 I don't know.
00:04:07.920 I'm actually just, I don't have a theory about why it happens.
00:04:11.540 It could be just reticular activation, if you've ever heard of that term.
00:04:18.300 Reticular activation is where, if something's on your mind, you notice it in the environment.
00:04:24.240 Such as, when you buy a new car, then you notice everybody has that same car, but you've never noticed before.
00:04:31.300 It could be just that.
00:04:33.140 All right.
00:04:33.520 I'd like to give a shout-out for Best Prediction I've seen recently from Twitter account Unhoodwinked, which is a good follow.
00:04:45.360 Unhoodwinked is the name of the account.
00:04:46.940 And after noticing that three people who took the, what's the name of that therapeutic that people take, I think it's the Pfizer therapeutic for COVID,
00:05:00.220 Pavloxid, Paxlovid, Paxlovid, right.
00:05:07.520 So Unhoodwinked, after noticing that Joe Biden, Dr. Fauci, and Professor Peter Hotez all took that therapeutic and he noticed that they all got a second round of COVID, sort of, what do they call it, the bounce back or the, there's some name for it, but you get a second case.
00:05:29.200 And based on that pattern, Unhoodwinked predicted that the following people would all have bounce back COVID.
00:05:36.000 He actually predicted in advance that Jill Biden, the CEO of Pfizer, and the CDC head Walensky, he accurately predicted every one of them would get rebound, I'm sorry.
00:05:51.820 He accurately predicted all three of them would get rebound COVID.
00:05:56.160 He predicted that in public.
00:05:59.440 He got all three.
00:06:00.720 Now, do you know what was the best health care that I got this year?
00:06:10.480 The best health care I received was that it was so hard for me to contact my own health care provider and get Paxlovid when I got COVID that I didn't get it.
00:06:21.640 It was just too much work.
00:06:23.120 It was too hard.
00:06:23.820 So, if I could have gotten it easily, I'm pretty sure I would have taken it.
00:06:30.300 I'm pretty sure I would have taken it.
00:06:31.960 Now, let me ask you, is there anybody here who would have been comfortable with the vaccination, but uncomfortable with Paxlovid?
00:06:42.960 Is there anybody here who thinks the vaccination would be bad, but the therapeutic would be safer?
00:06:48.940 Is that a thing?
00:06:51.800 Because they're both, you know, two untested, not untested.
00:06:55.300 They're two drugs which everybody, including the people who made them, would wish they were more tested if we had more time.
00:07:03.960 Yeah, I don't know.
00:07:05.220 So, it turns out the smartest thing I did was have a health care provider who couldn't provide any health care.
00:07:13.060 Am I wrong?
00:07:13.880 You know, here's an update on my blood pressure.
00:07:18.940 So, I got off, I quit cold turkey blood pressure medication, which I want to say very carefully, you are not supposed to do.
00:07:29.280 You are not supposed to go cold turkey on your blood pressure meds.
00:07:33.640 That is a very not recommended thing.
00:07:36.080 So, I want to say that as clearly as possible.
00:07:37.680 Don't be like me.
00:07:39.320 Nobody copied me.
00:07:40.540 Don't do it.
00:07:41.180 I was just pissed off.
00:07:44.800 Because the day that I stopped taking it, I felt perfectly good after months of pain.
00:07:49.760 And I thought, I'm not fucking putting that in my body again.
00:07:53.760 Do you know what my health care provider recommended?
00:07:58.180 After I found out that the blood pressure meds were literally killing me?
00:08:02.680 And I mean literally, because they made me suicidal.
00:08:07.040 And if something makes you suicidal, and it makes you not able to exercise, it's killing you.
00:08:14.580 So, that's not too strong a statement, right?
00:08:17.200 It tried.
00:08:18.100 It just didn't succeed.
00:08:19.380 It tried to kill me.
00:08:20.580 Do you know what my doctor recommended?
00:08:23.440 Double the dose.
00:08:25.360 Double the dose.
00:08:26.160 Because my blood pressure had not been adequately controlled.
00:08:33.440 Because I gave some readings, and they weren't controlled enough.
00:08:37.560 So, I was asked to double the dose.
00:08:40.440 What do you think I'm doing?
00:08:42.200 Do you think I'm going to double the dose?
00:08:44.700 No fucking way.
00:08:46.240 No.
00:08:46.880 Now, I'm having a little issue with my health care provider, because my doctor is on leave.
00:08:51.800 So, there's a whole communication problem that's not normal.
00:08:54.480 My actual doctor is great.
00:08:57.120 So, let me be clear.
00:08:59.060 There's no way my doctor would have made that recommendation.
00:09:02.400 What happened is it went through a third party.
00:09:05.440 And by the time it got to me, the communication had been lost.
00:09:08.320 That instead of trying to get more of it, I was trying to get rid of it entirely.
00:09:11.760 So, just a communication problem.
00:09:14.640 But that's my current health care.
00:09:17.140 My current health care is too inconvenient to use it.
00:09:21.180 Literally.
00:09:22.060 It's too inconvenient to actually use it.
00:09:24.000 I actually choose to treat myself.
00:09:28.420 And so far, I've done better.
00:09:31.080 That's a fact.
00:09:32.960 So far, I've beat my health care provider in performance by ignoring them.
00:09:39.180 I hate to say it, but it's true.
00:09:41.640 All right.
00:09:41.860 So, yesterday, I took my blood pressure.
00:09:45.280 This is after a week of no blood pressure meds.
00:09:48.780 Pretty dangerous, right?
00:09:49.980 How do you think I did after a week of no blood pressure meds?
00:09:57.020 There you go.
00:09:58.860 Oops.
00:10:00.720 Damn it.
00:10:01.680 There's my readings.
00:10:04.620 How did I do after having no blood pressure meds?
00:10:08.520 115 over 79 and 120 over 77.
00:10:15.320 Do you know what I did instead of taking blood pressure meds?
00:10:18.820 Ask me how I did it.
00:10:20.840 I took a 20-minute walk.
00:10:22.200 And I cut down on coffee.
00:10:25.960 That's it.
00:10:27.620 I read somewhere that if you take two 30-minute walks a day, you're basically fine.
00:10:32.460 And I wondered if that's actually true.
00:10:36.760 And so I thought, okay, I won't do, like, a full exercise.
00:10:40.320 I'll do a nice, nice little, slightly challenging, you know, just a brisk walk.
00:10:47.380 And then I sit down and test my blood pressure.
00:10:50.360 And I got perfectly normal after a week with no blood pressure meds.
00:10:56.580 Now, let me be clear.
00:10:59.260 This, I probably hit a low point.
00:11:01.180 You know, this might have been my low for the day.
00:11:03.240 I do think I have a problem of a spiking during the day.
00:11:08.240 But let me ask you this.
00:11:11.640 Can you refer to the science and tell me if that puts me in danger?
00:11:17.820 Look at the science and tell me if you know that, you know,
00:11:21.540 I can get down to good blood pressure some part of the day,
00:11:24.720 but it might be spiking other parts of the day.
00:11:27.660 What is my risk?
00:11:29.920 Nobody knows.
00:11:31.600 Nobody knows that.
00:11:33.140 There's no science that could tell you that at all.
00:11:36.600 But if you talk to your doctor,
00:11:39.120 I'm sure they'll tell you that they have some firm ideas about that,
00:11:43.780 but they'd be guessing, I think.
00:11:46.760 So I know I'm setting myself up for karma to give me some health problem
00:11:51.440 because of my high blood pressure.
00:11:52.780 We all know that, right?
00:11:53.600 But I feel like I'm doing some kind of a public good here
00:11:59.100 that's a little bit bigger than me,
00:12:01.520 which is if I don't die
00:12:03.980 and I successfully manage my blood pressure into a healthy zone
00:12:08.040 just with lifestyle,
00:12:10.360 wouldn't you like to know that?
00:12:12.880 Wouldn't you like to know if that's a thing that works?
00:12:15.960 I mean, I'll just be one person,
00:12:17.280 so it's not like a study or something,
00:12:19.400 but wouldn't you be curious?
00:12:20.780 And I figure I'm going to take the chance for all of us, right?
00:12:24.920 I mean, I probably would do it for myself,
00:12:26.980 but it has a bigger value to you.
00:12:29.160 Maybe.
00:12:30.580 We'll see.
00:12:31.280 If you were on the Locos platform,
00:12:36.520 you would be seeing my naughtier cartoon called Robots Read News,
00:12:41.400 in which robots read the news.
00:12:44.820 Now, normally, you on YouTube could not see these comics,
00:12:48.420 but this particular one that I published yesterday,
00:12:51.540 which features just a robot reading the news,
00:12:53.660 has a humor technique in it I would like to teach you.
00:12:59.460 And this is one that's really easy.
00:13:02.340 This is one you could all incorporate immediately and become funnier.
00:13:07.060 You all want to be funnier, right?
00:13:09.120 It's called the list of three.
00:13:13.200 List of three.
00:13:15.060 There is something about a list of three concepts or things
00:13:20.820 that if you pick the right three, it's funny.
00:13:24.200 And you know it when you see it, right?
00:13:26.900 So what makes it funny is three things
00:13:29.240 that don't normally belong together, usually.
00:13:32.820 And there's something about the bleed over of one item into the other
00:13:37.500 that isn't part of the point, but it bleeds over,
00:13:40.500 that makes it funny because your brain is trying to make it make sense,
00:13:45.240 and it's not quite making sense for you, right?
00:13:47.920 So I'm going to read you the joke,
00:13:50.220 and then I'm going to explain what I did so you can see it.
00:13:54.560 So look for the list of three.
00:13:56.560 Three things that don't belong together,
00:13:58.780 but it's funny when you put them together, all right?
00:14:01.440 So the first two panels are one joke,
00:14:03.520 and then I just do a completely separate joke in the third panel.
00:14:07.380 So the robot says,
00:14:08.540 the government released a new COVID advisory today.
00:14:11.760 It says, quote,
00:14:12.840 to stay one mile from CDC Director Rochelle Walensky.
00:14:15.960 Because she got COVID yet again.
00:14:21.320 And then the third panel is just a new joke,
00:14:24.120 and the robot says,
00:14:25.960 in our Tips for Humans segment,
00:14:29.020 tonight's tip is,
00:14:30.460 never sleep in your underpants if your gun is a hammer.
00:14:34.800 Never sleep in your underpants if your gun is a hammer.
00:14:39.760 All right, now here's why this works.
00:14:41.700 Underpants, gun, hammer.
00:14:46.140 Underpants, gun, hammer.
00:14:49.760 You put those three together,
00:14:51.640 I don't care what else you say about them.
00:14:54.960 Do you see it?
00:14:56.640 You can't put those three words together and not laugh.
00:15:00.660 Right?
00:15:01.520 As soon as you hear them, you're like,
00:15:03.500 okay, underpants, gun, hammer, I'm done.
00:15:06.560 Underpants, gun, hammer.
00:15:08.080 There's nothing else you need to say.
00:15:09.620 All right, that's it.
00:15:12.080 Right?
00:15:12.420 You can make your own joke.
00:15:14.260 You can put any other words around them.
00:15:17.080 There are about a hundred different ways
00:15:18.500 you can make them funny.
00:15:19.620 I just picked one.
00:15:20.940 Right?
00:15:21.480 So there's your tip.
00:15:23.660 Now, if you're saying to yourself,
00:15:25.180 but Scott,
00:15:26.420 how would I know that those three went together
00:15:28.560 and were funny?
00:15:29.740 That's not the way it works.
00:15:32.380 What you do is you just cycle
00:15:33.940 a bunch of words through your head
00:15:35.360 until one of them makes you laugh.
00:15:36.900 One combination makes you laugh.
00:15:38.300 And when it makes you laugh,
00:15:39.820 it'll probably make other people laugh.
00:15:42.080 So here's why it's hard
00:15:43.940 for AI to write humor.
00:15:47.080 This is a perfect example.
00:15:49.060 The way I wrote this joke
00:15:50.560 is the first time I thought of it,
00:15:53.360 it made me laugh in my head.
00:15:55.860 As soon as I thought of those three words together,
00:15:58.080 I was like, okay,
00:15:58.740 these three words are one of those,
00:16:00.300 that's one of those three word combos.
00:16:01.920 But the only way I knew it worked for you
00:16:05.100 is that it made me laugh.
00:16:07.880 And the AI can't do that.
00:16:09.840 So the AI can't test its own joke on itself
00:16:12.860 because it doesn't have a sense of humor yet.
00:16:16.080 So that's the only advantage I have right now
00:16:19.180 is that I can A-B test faster
00:16:21.820 than the fastest computer.
00:16:23.960 How long is that going to last?
00:16:25.500 Because the computer will eventually beat me
00:16:29.580 by testing with lots of humans fairly quickly.
00:16:35.180 Just send out a query.
00:16:36.940 What's funnier, this or that?
00:16:39.100 And you're like, that one.
00:16:41.020 And then it knows what people think is funnier.
00:16:44.500 So that's your tip for the day.
00:16:46.800 All right.
00:16:51.860 So when did Twitter get an edit button?
00:16:55.860 Because I saw one today.
00:16:57.380 That's only for the special people, right?
00:16:59.320 Some people testing it.
00:17:01.520 Can you confirm that?
00:17:03.360 Because the edit button worked exactly the way I would have.
00:17:07.500 It's not for blue checks.
00:17:09.000 You have to be on Twitter blue,
00:17:10.660 meaning you're paying money for it, right?
00:17:13.060 Yeah, you don't have an edit button.
00:17:14.560 So it's the first time I saw one today.
00:17:16.840 And I don't know if you remember,
00:17:18.300 but I was describing how I would have designed it.
00:17:21.740 It turns out they designed it exactly like I would have,
00:17:25.180 which I assume is a coincidence.
00:17:27.200 But the way I would have done it is
00:17:28.800 you have to show the history.
00:17:32.000 So it just shows a little tag that says
00:17:33.980 it's an edited tweet.
00:17:35.820 And as soon as I saw the tag, which was notable,
00:17:38.440 I mean, it was easy to see the tag,
00:17:41.240 I clicked on it,
00:17:43.180 and it showed me that there was a typo
00:17:44.940 in the first tweet.
00:17:46.860 And then I was all happy.
00:17:48.720 I was totally happy.
00:17:50.200 Because it was my choice to look at the edit.
00:17:52.460 I didn't have to.
00:17:53.820 And when I looked, I said,
00:17:54.880 oh, he used it for this reason.
00:17:56.740 It was a typo.
00:17:58.760 Perfect.
00:17:59.080 To me, that was perfect.
00:18:01.280 How would you improve on that?
00:18:05.200 You can't improve on that.
00:18:06.900 That's as good as the edit button can be designed.
00:18:09.760 So I think you'll see that.
00:18:12.080 I'd be surprised if they don't roll that out for the rest of us.
00:18:15.200 So did you see there was a tweet by Stephen King,
00:18:21.200 author Stephen King.
00:18:22.660 And he said it had been floated,
00:18:26.200 the idea of charging blue check people $20 a month.
00:18:29.400 And King tweeted,
00:18:32.180 $20 a month to keep my blue check.
00:18:34.880 Fuck that.
00:18:35.860 They should pay me.
00:18:37.180 If that gets instituted, I'm going like Enron.
00:18:40.960 Now, here's what I just absolutely love
00:18:44.800 about Twitter and about this time in our world.
00:18:51.080 So Stephen King tweets this tweet about Twitter,
00:18:54.460 and he gets an almost immediate reply from Elon Musk.
00:18:59.300 Now, so probably the most prolific
00:19:02.200 or, I don't know, financially successful author in America
00:19:06.340 of all time, I'm guessing, probably.
00:19:10.960 Gets a direct tweet from the richest man in the world,
00:19:14.900 and then we can all watch it.
00:19:17.400 The transparency of all this is just amazing.
00:19:20.100 But what Musk tweets back is, he goes,
00:19:22.860 we need to pay the bills somehow.
00:19:25.180 He goes, Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers.
00:19:28.920 Then he goes, how about $8?
00:19:31.140 Now, how awesome is that?
00:19:33.740 That you actually watched the richest man in the world,
00:19:36.580 the most successful entrepreneur we've ever seen,
00:19:39.100 negotiating in public with our most famous,
00:19:44.000 prolific author of fiction,
00:19:47.220 and something could come of it.
00:19:51.920 You know, if King actually gave his opinion,
00:19:54.060 it could actually matter.
00:19:56.040 Like if King said, you know,
00:19:58.020 I could do $8.
00:19:59.140 But you know what's the funniest thing about this?
00:20:04.620 You lose sight of the fact
00:20:06.140 that the richest man in the world
00:20:08.320 and the richest author in the world
00:20:10.600 are arguing whether $8 a month or $20 a month
00:20:13.560 is the right price.
00:20:15.460 There are no two people in the world
00:20:17.300 who could care less about the difference
00:20:18.980 between $8 and $20.
00:20:21.180 But yet it's happening.
00:20:23.280 I mean, everything about this is interesting.
00:20:24.960 Just the fact that we can observe it in real time.
00:20:29.620 Have you ever seen a famous person that accessible?
00:20:33.940 I mean, Musk is so accessible.
00:20:36.320 I mean, he's responded to my tweets a few times.
00:20:40.020 He's responded to people I know several times.
00:20:44.600 You know, it feels like if you make a tweet
00:20:46.420 that actually has merit,
00:20:48.600 he actually sees it and responds to it.
00:20:50.700 It's kind of a phenomenal time in history.
00:20:55.460 I saw something that confused me at first,
00:20:58.560 but then it all made sense.
00:21:00.680 And let me explain it to you.
00:21:02.640 Do you know how,
00:21:04.000 I think Dan Bongino was pointing out recently,
00:21:06.880 how Biden hadn't been fact-checked all summer.
00:21:11.360 We went like a whole summer
00:21:12.520 and CNN's fact-checker just disappeared.
00:21:15.080 And then it became a little embarrassing
00:21:17.120 because people noticed that they just stopped fact-checking.
00:21:21.180 And then today, I looked at CNN's page,
00:21:24.540 and there down in sort of a hard-to-find place
00:21:27.720 was a fact-check of Joe Biden.
00:21:31.040 And it was Daniel Dale, the fact-checker for CNN,
00:21:34.980 and he fact-checked Biden's lie
00:21:37.880 about what gas prices were on average
00:21:41.100 when he took over from Trump.
00:21:42.700 So I guess Biden had been saying
00:21:46.360 that gas prices were $5 on average
00:21:50.160 when he took over from Trump,
00:21:51.780 which is not even close to true.
00:21:55.080 It's not even in the neighborhood of true.
00:21:58.980 It's just like an amazing lie.
00:22:01.920 So were you surprised
00:22:03.800 that CNN would fact-check
00:22:06.900 Biden's claim about gas
00:22:09.320 now when apparently they've been
00:22:12.020 not fact-checking anything for months?
00:22:13.860 Does that surprise you?
00:22:15.100 That suddenly, even when we're closer to the midterms,
00:22:18.480 we're closer to the midterms,
00:22:19.780 he's fact-checking it.
00:22:21.260 Does that surprise you at all?
00:22:23.940 Let me give you a related story
00:22:26.200 that will explain to you
00:22:28.440 why CNN's fact-checker
00:22:30.680 suddenly is on the job.
00:22:34.160 All right?
00:22:34.780 Now watch me tie these two unrelated stories together
00:22:37.600 and see if you'd make the connection without my help.
00:22:39.860 I think you will.
00:22:40.980 I think this wasn't an easy one.
00:22:42.860 Okay?
00:22:43.600 Totally unrelated story.
00:22:46.320 Did you hear that Paul Pelosi
00:22:48.180 was hit by a crazy guy with a hammer?
00:22:51.860 Yeah?
00:22:52.340 And have you heard that the political right
00:22:55.340 is creating a bunch of stories
00:22:59.480 that, let's say, don't have factual proof,
00:23:02.100 suggesting that Paul Pelosi
00:23:04.220 was maybe in a gay relationship
00:23:07.780 with the attacker.
00:23:10.240 Now, is that the sort of story
00:23:12.000 that the Democrats want to stay out there
00:23:14.320 as something that might have been true?
00:23:17.160 No, no.
00:23:18.140 No, that's the sort of story
00:23:19.340 that you might want...
00:23:21.620 What's the word, the phrase?
00:23:23.520 Two words.
00:23:24.380 What do you think the Democrats
00:23:25.740 would want to do with a story like that?
00:23:27.940 They'd want to fact-check it?
00:23:33.900 Would they want to fact-check it?
00:23:38.640 Now, how do you fact-check something
00:23:40.780 when your fact-checker's gone?
00:23:43.180 How do you do that?
00:23:45.080 Huh.
00:23:45.960 Wouldn't it be great,
00:23:47.160 in a situation like this,
00:23:48.480 if you were CNN,
00:23:49.540 wouldn't it be great to have a fact-checker
00:23:51.240 who could come in here
00:23:52.760 and fact-check that thing away,
00:23:54.240 make sure that gay rumor goes away?
00:23:56.980 Well, as luck would have it,
00:23:59.540 Daniel Dale has made a big appearance
00:24:01.440 and in a major piece,
00:24:03.440 he's fact-checking this Paul Pelosi stuff
00:24:05.880 and says it's all unfounded.
00:24:10.620 Now, could Daniel Dale come back
00:24:13.560 and do a big fact-check on the Pelosi story
00:24:16.700 while completely ignoring everything
00:24:19.160 that Biden's done all summer?
00:24:22.560 Nope.
00:24:23.740 That would be a little bit obvious, wouldn't it?
00:24:26.060 So he's got a little bit of a fact-check
00:24:30.520 on Biden, just a little one.
00:24:34.940 Yeah, just gas prices, just a little one.
00:24:38.900 So that gives him cover
00:24:40.360 for doing the big one
00:24:42.140 that they really need to get done, right?
00:24:44.220 They can bury the Pelosi thing, right?
00:24:47.660 Now, is it a coincidence that he just appeared
00:24:49.800 and he fact-checks Biden
00:24:51.720 after months of no fact-checking
00:24:54.120 at just the right time
00:24:56.160 when they needed that other fact-check?
00:25:00.420 Now, how many of you would have noticed that?
00:25:04.000 Would you have noticed the pattern?
00:25:07.060 Somebody did, right.
00:25:08.000 I think that many of you
00:25:11.780 are now so sophisticated in watching the news
00:25:15.460 that you can see the pattern
00:25:17.980 even before you can see the fake news.
00:25:22.560 We all know the wrap-up smear now, right?
00:25:26.100 We know how the wrap-up smear works.
00:25:28.360 We know how the Democrats will release something
00:25:32.600 like to a news entity that's friendly
00:25:35.820 and then they'll refer to the news entity
00:25:38.260 to prove the thing that was the rumor they made up,
00:25:41.180 you know, the wrap-up smear.
00:25:42.420 So once you understand the patterns,
00:25:45.600 everything just is so much more clear.
00:25:48.740 Now, here's what's interesting.
00:25:51.580 With that little move,
00:25:53.860 they made it impossible for Biden to become president
00:25:56.620 if whoever runs against him
00:25:58.900 decides to be even a little bit smart.
00:26:03.040 Here's how it goes.
00:26:06.520 And I'm doing the media's job for him,
00:26:08.760 but you can imagine a candidate taking this attack, too.
00:26:11.800 So imagine Peter Doocy asking the president's spokesperson this.
00:26:17.540 The president ran for office
00:26:19.380 promising to remove a liar from office.
00:26:23.320 So Biden ran for office
00:26:24.640 to remove that liar from office.
00:26:28.180 That was a major theme.
00:26:30.060 But he also says the price of gas
00:26:32.020 was more than $5 when he took office,
00:26:35.480 which has been fact-checked as false
00:26:38.520 by CNN.
00:26:42.720 So I would ask the question,
00:26:44.280 which one of those is true?
00:26:46.180 Did he really run for office
00:26:48.080 to remove a liar from office,
00:26:49.600 or is he lying now
00:26:51.760 about the gas price?
00:26:55.700 And I would ask that question.
00:26:58.740 Now, isn't that fair?
00:27:00.420 That's a fair question, right?
00:27:01.920 A major theme of his campaign
00:27:03.720 was, I will get rid of that liar,
00:27:07.580 but a major theme of his current governing
00:27:10.980 is that gas was $5 a gallon
00:27:14.080 when he took over.
00:27:16.180 Now, that's an easily debunkable fact,
00:27:19.580 but it's also unique.
00:27:22.040 You know what's unique about the gas price claim?
00:27:25.240 What's unique about it
00:27:26.440 is that it's the most debunkable thing
00:27:28.880 you could debunk.
00:27:30.420 There's nothing that would be easier to debunk,
00:27:32.540 because it's just like a statistical fact
00:27:35.700 that anybody can look up, basically.
00:27:38.140 So here's what I'd do
00:27:40.200 if I were debating Biden.
00:27:42.300 I'd say the same thing.
00:27:43.740 You ran for office
00:27:44.860 because you wanted to put honesty in the office.
00:27:48.240 You're also, your major claim in your office
00:27:50.260 is that gas was $5 when you took over.
00:27:53.040 Pick one.
00:27:55.000 Either you care about the truth,
00:27:57.700 or there's something wrong
00:28:00.120 with this gas price thing.
00:28:01.340 I would make Biden...
00:28:05.240 See, the trouble is,
00:28:06.140 if you go for the fine people hoax,
00:28:08.100 which would be another example of him lying,
00:28:10.400 you can't fact-check that,
00:28:12.520 because the fact-checkers would say
00:28:13.920 it didn't happen, which they do.
00:28:16.960 Of course, they're lying.
00:28:18.480 It obviously did happen.
00:28:19.960 You can watch it yourself.
00:28:21.080 You don't have to even rely on the fact-checkers.
00:28:23.600 But because Daniel Dale fact-checked
00:28:26.980 the gas price thing,
00:28:28.680 you can use it.
00:28:29.520 That's sort of like a lawyer knows
00:28:32.700 not to ask a question
00:28:33.920 and he doesn't already know the answer.
00:28:35.840 And you don't want something introduced
00:28:37.420 into the trial during the trial,
00:28:39.740 because you're not ready for that.
00:28:41.540 You don't want to accidentally introduce
00:28:43.100 a thing that you're not ready to deal with.
00:28:45.260 So I think that Daniel Dale
00:28:46.600 accidentally put this into evidence,
00:28:49.020 that the president is in fact lying
00:28:51.700 about something that would be easy to fact-check.
00:28:54.280 It's a major point.
00:28:56.380 I mean, it's a big point, right?
00:28:58.780 And it's the opposite of the biggest claim
00:29:01.080 he made during his presidency,
00:29:02.480 that he would bring you the truth.
00:29:05.100 So I would make him answer to that
00:29:07.280 and only that,
00:29:08.360 and I wouldn't even bring up anything else.
00:29:10.560 I'd just say, look,
00:29:12.400 just tell us if you're real.
00:29:15.400 Now, you might say to yourself,
00:29:16.720 how is that going to work
00:29:17.620 if he's running against Trump?
00:29:18.840 Because he's just going to say,
00:29:20.800 but Trump had, you know,
00:29:22.260 10 million fact-check problems.
00:29:25.520 But you know what's different?
00:29:29.140 Trump actually ran telling you
00:29:32.700 that he likes to use hyperbole
00:29:34.100 to get the job done.
00:29:36.620 He told you he would be a cheerleader
00:29:38.340 for the country.
00:29:39.820 He didn't tell you he was going to be
00:29:40.960 the most honest president you ever had.
00:29:43.260 He never once made that claim.
00:29:45.260 Did he?
00:29:46.400 Did Trump ever say,
00:29:47.400 I'm going to bring honesty
00:29:49.320 and fact-checking to the presidency?
00:29:51.500 He absolutely did not.
00:29:53.180 He did not.
00:29:54.140 But Biden did.
00:29:55.540 So if you're going to compare the two,
00:29:57.680 you've got one person who says,
00:29:59.060 of course I use hyperbole all the time.
00:30:01.100 It works really well.
00:30:02.460 And I'm going to use it for you.
00:30:04.080 I'll use it on your benefit.
00:30:05.840 I'll run the country using hyperbole,
00:30:08.420 just the way I did my business.
00:30:10.300 And then you look at what he did,
00:30:11.520 and it's like, sure enough.
00:30:12.940 Sure enough.
00:30:13.880 He ran the country on hyperbole,
00:30:15.580 and it worked pretty well.
00:30:17.400 Just like he said it would.
00:30:19.460 Biden said he'd run it on honesty,
00:30:21.420 but used lying instead.
00:30:23.980 You can call him on that.
00:30:26.420 You can call him on that.
00:30:29.600 All right.
00:30:33.180 Let me test a claim with you.
00:30:36.280 I don't believe that people on the right
00:30:38.360 actually believe that Paul Pelosi
00:30:40.000 was maybe engaged in a gay tryst.
00:30:43.280 You're just having fun, right?
00:30:46.500 You don't actually believe that, do you?
00:30:49.440 Can somebody tell you?
00:30:50.540 Is there anybody who actually believes that?
00:30:52.700 Or is it you're just having fun?
00:30:58.840 Okay.
00:30:59.480 Oh, somebody says they do.
00:31:01.860 All right.
00:31:02.320 Very, I think very few people
00:31:04.500 actually entertain that as a probability.
00:31:08.480 You know, I suppose I'd put it in the category
00:31:10.740 of anything's possible, right?
00:31:12.920 But pretty unlikely.
00:31:14.840 Pretty darn unlikely.
00:31:17.060 Now, you have to be careful,
00:31:18.600 because here's where you need to be careful.
00:31:20.900 Because this now becomes a famous
00:31:23.180 conservative hoax.
00:31:26.300 And you've given the ammunition
00:31:28.400 to the Democrats.
00:31:30.760 So what you got out of it
00:31:32.360 was a funny story
00:31:33.480 with no political value whatsoever, right?
00:31:37.060 There's nobody in the world
00:31:38.360 who would vote differently
00:31:39.540 based on the Paul Pelosi story, right?
00:31:43.240 Nobody would vote differently.
00:31:44.560 If anything, they would have some empathy for him,
00:31:47.000 I would think.
00:31:48.480 So there's no benefit to
00:31:50.520 this conspiracy theory,
00:31:53.260 if you want to call it that.
00:31:54.360 But there's definitely a downside.
00:31:56.580 The downside is that the other side says,
00:31:58.280 look, you're a bunch of liars.
00:32:00.100 You know, don't be on that team.
00:32:01.180 It's a bunch of liars.
00:32:03.220 But at some point,
00:32:04.880 I think the conservatives need to admit
00:32:07.420 they're just having fun.
00:32:10.700 And I think at some point,
00:32:13.120 you know, you might need to admit that collectively,
00:32:16.260 not you specifically,
00:32:17.660 in order to get past it.
00:32:19.660 Because you've created a problem for yourself,
00:32:22.200 you conservatives.
00:32:23.200 Conservatives.
00:32:24.220 Because now you've painted yourself
00:32:26.300 as conspiracy theorists,
00:32:29.440 when in fact,
00:32:30.180 I think you were just having fun.
00:32:32.560 Like, fun is somebody's expense,
00:32:34.820 so we could argue how ethical that was.
00:32:38.860 But you can't argue that it wasn't fun.
00:32:43.320 Unfortunately, we're complicated people.
00:32:45.180 Does anybody have a problem holding in their head
00:32:48.820 simultaneously that you have genuine empathy
00:32:52.000 for Paul Pelosi?
00:32:54.020 I know I do.
00:32:55.400 At the same time, it's funny.
00:32:58.080 You could have both of those feelings.
00:33:00.260 And you could have them fully, I think.
00:33:02.300 I think you can be fully human
00:33:05.220 and have empathy.
00:33:06.860 At the same time,
00:33:08.080 if it makes you laugh,
00:33:09.080 it makes you laugh.
00:33:09.740 I wouldn't be laughing if he hadn't survived.
00:33:13.240 And I wouldn't be laughing
00:33:13.980 if he'd been permanently crippled.
00:33:16.480 That wouldn't be.
00:33:17.280 There's nothing I could find in that.
00:33:19.100 But he is tragic as it was,
00:33:22.040 and traumatic,
00:33:23.520 and wish it hadn't happened.
00:33:25.920 I can't help the fact that people are normal
00:33:27.940 and they laugh at funny things
00:33:30.640 like underpants and hammers.
00:33:32.780 All right.
00:33:37.020 So, but just if you hadn't heard the whole,
00:33:41.640 are you trying to understand why
00:33:43.600 the story said that Paul Pelosi called them a friend?
00:33:49.720 Are you trying to understand why that could be true
00:33:52.400 at the same time it's true
00:33:53.600 that they didn't know each other?
00:33:56.040 Because Paul Pelosi is not on record as saying that.
00:33:59.160 Only one of the dispatchers
00:34:02.120 had that characterization.
00:34:04.160 But there's no record of Paul Pelosi saying that,
00:34:07.180 and both he,
00:34:08.540 both Pelosi and the other person with the hammer,
00:34:12.900 they both say they didn't know each other.
00:34:15.520 And they both have the same story.
00:34:17.840 Now, that would be pretty rare
00:34:19.140 because they're not exactly on the same team, right?
00:34:22.540 But they both have a consistent story
00:34:24.380 that it was an invasion,
00:34:26.520 it was about something about Nancy.
00:34:28.320 Now, here's the second part you need to know.
00:34:31.180 It was definitely political.
00:34:34.360 Do you agree with that yet?
00:34:36.240 I don't know what news you've seen or not seen,
00:34:38.680 but it was definitely political.
00:34:40.820 I see the right trying to explain it away as crazy.
00:34:44.860 Well, he's crazy too,
00:34:47.080 but he left a very clear path
00:34:49.180 that it was a, you know,
00:34:50.860 it was a political act.
00:34:52.400 There's no doubt about it.
00:34:53.320 All right, so I'm happy that almost all of you
00:34:59.800 are on the same page on this
00:35:01.100 because I would be a little worried.
00:35:05.780 Somebody's saying I'm a boomer
00:35:07.440 because I believe the narrative.
00:35:09.480 No, what I think is that
00:35:11.480 the thing that's most likely is most likely.
00:35:14.800 That's all.
00:35:15.360 If it turns out I'm wrong,
00:35:18.180 that wouldn't be the first time.
00:35:20.240 But I'm saying that the ordinary explanation
00:35:22.700 is completely available to you.
00:35:25.480 You don't need an extraordinary explanation
00:35:27.300 for something that's ordinary.
00:35:29.000 Now, I would say there's one thing left,
00:35:32.160 which is why it was the glass
00:35:36.600 on the outside of the window.
00:35:37.720 And I could give you several ways
00:35:41.920 that that might be explained.
00:35:45.320 Now, I'm not saying these are the actual reasons.
00:35:47.720 I'm only going to give you an example
00:35:49.020 of how you could understand it
00:35:51.300 without actually knowing what the explanation is.
00:35:53.880 All right?
00:35:55.060 Number one,
00:35:56.540 how many times have you seen a story like this
00:35:58.460 where, you know, you saw a picture of the break-in
00:36:01.460 and then you found out later
00:36:02.920 it wasn't even the right house?
00:36:05.040 That's like an ordinary thing.
00:36:06.400 Like the news might have shown a picture
00:36:08.580 of the wrong house.
00:36:10.380 Now, I don't think that happened,
00:36:12.360 but that's in the category of these things, right?
00:36:16.000 That wouldn't even be, right,
00:36:18.340 it wouldn't even be unusual.
00:36:19.940 It could have been photoshopped, right?
00:36:22.960 So you don't even know if the photo is real.
00:36:24.880 Would you agree?
00:36:25.900 I think the photo is real, right, if I had to guess.
00:36:28.660 But would you agree
00:36:29.660 that you can't rule out a fake photo?
00:36:32.840 You can't rule it out
00:36:33.720 because it's actually so ordinary
00:36:35.200 and so common
00:36:36.720 that in the initial fog of war,
00:36:40.720 how often is it in Ukraine, for example,
00:36:42.840 that they ran military actions from other wars?
00:36:47.020 You saw a bunch of that.
00:36:48.120 Very common.
00:36:49.520 All right, here's another way it could happen.
00:36:51.980 There was a breakthrough that caused,
00:36:56.460 that allowed him to get in,
00:36:57.500 and then there was just something else that happened
00:37:00.820 that also sent some glass.
00:37:04.480 All right, here's another one.
00:37:07.340 Let's say you've got a claw hammer
00:37:10.160 and you're trying to break in.
00:37:12.340 You break through with a hammer,
00:37:14.640 but the hammer leaves, you know,
00:37:16.880 a discreet hole.
00:37:18.880 Is the next thing you do to keep hammering it,
00:37:21.900 or would the next thing you do
00:37:23.720 grab the claw into the weakened glass
00:37:27.400 and pull it toward you?
00:37:29.500 Which would you do?
00:37:32.220 You could imagine
00:37:33.280 that if there was like a hole at the hammer hole,
00:37:37.060 but you saw the glass was weakened,
00:37:38.960 you could imagine
00:37:39.640 that you would just pull in the claw
00:37:40.900 and pull an arrow, right?
00:37:43.080 Now, I'm not saying that happened.
00:37:44.880 I'm not making that claim.
00:37:46.540 I'm just saying there are probably
00:37:47.880 five different ways this could happen.
00:37:51.960 All right, here's another one.
00:37:53.560 You break the window
00:37:54.760 and it doesn't get rid of all the glass in the pane.
00:37:59.900 And then you yank open the window
00:38:02.620 and the rest of the glass falls out
00:38:05.580 after you've already opened it.
00:38:08.320 You've opened the door.
00:38:09.920 So now you've got glass on the inside
00:38:11.600 from the initial break
00:38:12.720 plus glass on the outside
00:38:14.600 because when you yanked the door
00:38:16.060 some more glass came down.
00:38:18.780 Now, I'm not saying that happened either.
00:38:21.420 But can you see how easily
00:38:23.600 you could get glass on the outside
00:38:25.300 without being weird, right?
00:38:28.580 Without being weird.
00:38:30.680 It's pretty easy, right?
00:38:33.780 So I don't know if any of those are true,
00:38:35.320 but I would say that everything is explained.
00:38:39.820 The reason he was called a friend
00:38:41.340 Pelosi, there's no evidence he ever said that.
00:38:44.520 There's only evidence that the dispatcher
00:38:46.680 believed he heard it.
00:38:48.980 How often does somebody misquote somebody else?
00:38:52.720 In your experience,
00:38:55.100 how often does somebody accurately quote somebody else
00:38:58.140 in a, let's say, high emotion situation?
00:39:02.120 Almost never.
00:39:03.120 They always get it wrong.
00:39:05.960 The most common thing in the world
00:39:07.600 is for a third party to misinterpret you.
00:39:10.380 How many times does a third party
00:39:12.400 misinterpret me every day?
00:39:16.140 All day long, my Twitter feed
00:39:17.960 is full of people misinterpreting
00:39:20.060 something I said.
00:39:22.380 But they think they're right,
00:39:23.940 as the dispatcher probably thought
00:39:26.600 he or she was right.
00:39:27.360 Yeah.
00:39:30.860 All right.
00:39:31.380 I think I explained most of that.
00:39:36.540 You know, I didn't talk about too much of this story
00:39:38.680 about we know now
00:39:39.900 that the Department of Homeland Security
00:39:42.820 and the FBI
00:39:44.480 were coordinating with the social media platforms
00:39:48.280 to tamp down on disinformation.
00:39:51.320 Now, it's being treated like a new story.
00:39:55.580 I thought we knew this for a long time.
00:39:58.760 All right.
00:39:59.400 Is there anybody who didn't know
00:40:00.920 the social media companies
00:40:02.340 were talking to the government
00:40:03.480 about disinformation?
00:40:06.980 We did, but we forgot.
00:40:09.100 This isn't a new story, right?
00:40:11.820 It's only that we saw it in writing somewhere else.
00:40:15.820 Yeah.
00:40:16.820 Yeah, Zachary admitted it.
00:40:18.220 So I don't understand the story.
00:40:20.280 There's nothing new, right?
00:40:22.000 We all know this is the thing.
00:40:25.640 You know what's hard about this story is
00:40:28.020 I don't know if I don't want it to happen.
00:40:31.980 If the only thing you knew
00:40:33.380 is that the government
00:40:34.180 was talking to social media
00:40:35.640 about how to handle disinformation,
00:40:41.080 if that's the only thing you knew,
00:40:44.300 it's not automatically bad.
00:40:47.300 It becomes bad
00:40:48.420 because the government's involved
00:40:49.640 and everything it touches, it ruins.
00:40:52.280 But at the concept level,
00:40:54.520 is that a problem?
00:40:55.860 That your government is concerned
00:40:57.360 about misinformation
00:40:58.140 during a pandemic?
00:41:03.080 Yeah, it can become a problem.
00:41:05.560 I don't know that the instinct
00:41:06.920 was necessarily 100% evil.
00:41:09.740 You know, there might have been
00:41:11.460 a little bit of good intentions
00:41:13.340 involved there.
00:41:14.840 But, you know,
00:41:15.640 the evil gets in the tent too, right?
00:41:18.340 You know, once the evil gets in,
00:41:20.000 there's nothing to do to get it out.
00:41:21.800 Yeah.
00:41:21.940 So I would agree with you
00:41:23.440 that it's a bad idea.
00:41:24.480 I don't think it's obvious
00:41:26.640 that it was always about bad intentions.
00:41:29.800 But clearly,
00:41:30.600 the bad intentions got wrapped
00:41:31.960 into this concept.
00:41:33.200 Clearly.
00:41:33.440 All right.
00:41:36.920 Yeah.
00:41:37.760 You know,
00:41:38.180 and you could also imagine
00:41:39.220 a good way to handle it
00:41:40.560 and a bad way to handle it.
00:41:44.120 Here's the good way.
00:41:45.580 The good way to handle it
00:41:46.700 is to say,
00:41:47.340 social media companies,
00:41:48.640 you should have a feature
00:41:50.040 where if somebody makes a claim
00:41:51.360 that's false,
00:41:53.280 that you can easily associate it
00:41:55.040 with the correct claim.
00:41:56.100 Would that be a problem to you?
00:42:00.960 Because I've said social media
00:42:02.300 should do exactly that.
00:42:04.100 They should make it easy.
00:42:05.400 Well, actually, no.
00:42:06.400 Let me change it.
00:42:07.540 Not to the correct claim,
00:42:09.040 to the counterclaim.
00:42:10.720 That's where it's different.
00:42:11.840 All right.
00:42:12.080 Here's where we differ.
00:42:13.660 I don't think you should have a service
00:42:15.560 that tells you what's true.
00:42:17.480 I think you should have a service
00:42:18.880 that exposes you to the counterclaim.
00:42:21.140 That's the difference.
00:42:22.540 Would you agree?
00:42:24.100 You don't want the government
00:42:25.160 saying what's true.
00:42:26.840 But if the only thing they did
00:42:28.220 is say make sure
00:42:28.900 that the true information
00:42:31.220 also gets surfaced,
00:42:33.360 true as we think it's true,
00:42:34.860 make sure the counterclaim
00:42:35.920 gets surfaced,
00:42:36.920 that would be okay with me.
00:42:38.740 But that's not what they did,
00:42:39.960 is it?
00:42:41.000 I don't think that's exactly
00:42:42.260 what they did.
00:42:44.160 But there is a good version of it.
00:42:47.900 How many of you have ever heard
00:42:49.460 of something called
00:42:50.080 the fine structure constant?
00:42:51.720 Are there any nerds here,
00:42:54.540 science nerds?
00:42:56.100 The fine structure constant.
00:43:00.060 So somebody directed me to it
00:43:02.660 this morning
00:43:03.200 to break my brain.
00:43:05.920 And it did.
00:43:07.080 It broke my brain a little bit.
00:43:08.740 Now, I don't fully understand it,
00:43:10.380 but I'll tell you
00:43:10.860 the best I can.
00:43:13.720 There's this number 137,
00:43:16.800 which maybe coincidentally,
00:43:18.760 maybe not,
00:43:19.320 is a prime number
00:43:20.080 that pops up in physics too often.
00:43:26.040 And there's another quality to it
00:43:27.860 that I don't understand.
00:43:29.640 There's some kind of
00:43:31.140 measureless quantity thing to it
00:43:35.460 that I don't understand.
00:43:37.480 But it comes up way too often.
00:43:40.120 And scientists don't know why.
00:43:41.860 And why would that be a constant?
00:43:47.380 And to my mind,
00:43:49.920 it's probably proof of the simulation.
00:43:55.100 It's probably proof of the simulation.
00:43:57.560 So let me give you an example
00:43:59.340 of why you would need a constant
00:44:01.300 for a simulation.
00:44:02.540 Years ago,
00:44:04.680 when personal computers
00:44:06.300 were brand new,
00:44:07.800 I tried to learn
00:44:08.660 computing on my own,
00:44:10.140 or programming on my own,
00:44:11.680 because I wanted to see
00:44:12.560 if I could build
00:44:13.080 my own video game.
00:44:14.700 And I did.
00:44:16.040 I succeeded.
00:44:17.100 So I learned enough
00:44:18.120 that I made a video game
00:44:20.040 that featured
00:44:20.520 the space shuttle,
00:44:25.280 but it had laser cannons
00:44:27.400 in the game,
00:44:28.100 and it could shoot down
00:44:28.920 Soviet satellites
00:44:29.860 back when the Soviet Union
00:44:31.080 was a thing.
00:44:31.600 So I actually created a game.
00:44:35.060 Now, here was the problem.
00:44:36.900 I was such a bad programmer
00:44:38.860 that I created a game
00:44:42.200 that worked perfectly
00:44:43.040 on my computer.
00:44:44.440 You see the problem, right?
00:44:46.240 The very next computer
00:44:47.720 I bought was faster.
00:44:49.880 And so the speed of the game
00:44:51.420 became the speed
00:44:53.440 of the processor.
00:44:55.260 What I really needed
00:44:56.520 was that the speed of the game
00:44:57.820 always stayed the same,
00:44:59.200 no matter what processor
00:45:00.700 it was running on.
00:45:01.600 So in other words,
00:45:04.160 I needed a constant.
00:45:06.600 I needed a constant.
00:45:08.180 I needed some number
00:45:09.980 or a constant
00:45:11.320 that no matter
00:45:12.620 what processor
00:45:13.340 I'm running on,
00:45:14.060 the game looked the same.
00:45:15.900 The fact that this
00:45:16.980 137 constant
00:45:18.320 shows up
00:45:19.060 all over the place
00:45:20.060 tells me that
00:45:22.220 we're a game.
00:45:24.080 We've been designed
00:45:25.200 with a constant
00:45:27.140 that would keep,
00:45:28.800 now I don't know
00:45:29.300 if it's keeping
00:45:29.780 the speed constant.
00:45:31.720 Maybe it's that.
00:45:33.140 Because if we're a simulation
00:45:34.520 we may move
00:45:35.720 from one processor
00:45:37.280 to another
00:45:37.900 without even knowing it.
00:45:39.800 And all the processors
00:45:40.680 need to operate
00:45:41.760 in a similar fashion.
00:45:44.060 I feel like the constant
00:45:46.340 is so that
00:45:47.200 the simulation
00:45:48.240 treats everything
00:45:49.700 in the simulation
00:45:50.500 the same
00:45:51.640 at the same time.
00:45:54.320 Just a hypothesis.
00:45:56.220 I'll just put that out there.
00:45:57.280 So, did you hear
00:46:01.460 that Russia
00:46:01.980 exited
00:46:02.640 the grain deal
00:46:04.640 where they were
00:46:05.160 going to allow
00:46:05.600 safe passage
00:46:06.340 of the grain
00:46:06.960 from Ukraine
00:46:07.760 out to,
00:46:09.540 is it the Black Sea?
00:46:10.660 Yeah, the Black Sea.
00:46:12.080 And
00:46:12.520 then Russia
00:46:14.080 pulled out of the deal
00:46:15.720 because Ukraine
00:46:16.640 sent a bunch of
00:46:18.560 I guess
00:46:19.880 water drones
00:46:21.800 and attacked
00:46:22.720 the fleet.
00:46:24.060 So Russia's fleet
00:46:25.020 got a big attack
00:46:25.900 a few days ago
00:46:27.260 based on drones.
00:46:29.800 And there's actually
00:46:30.560 some video
00:46:31.120 from one of the drones
00:46:32.180 which is
00:46:33.900 I can't imagine
00:46:35.380 wanting to be
00:46:36.240 in the water
00:46:37.020 when one of those
00:46:37.880 drones is there
00:46:38.620 because you can see
00:46:39.800 it like speeding
00:46:40.420 toward the boat
00:46:41.180 and then you see
00:46:42.160 the anti-drone
00:46:43.300 defenses
00:46:44.560 and it's like
00:46:45.180 goes around them
00:46:46.000 and stuff
00:46:46.400 and I'm like
00:46:46.780 holy shit.
00:46:48.340 If you had enough
00:46:49.320 of these aquatic drones
00:46:50.380 I think you could
00:46:51.120 take out
00:46:51.580 just about
00:46:52.180 any warship
00:46:53.380 because
00:46:54.920 so here's
00:47:00.040 a guy
00:47:00.640 Smithson says
00:47:02.000 Scott
00:47:02.900 duped again
00:47:03.780 only
00:47:04.880 exited a deal
00:47:06.300 because Ukraine
00:47:07.140 bombing ships.
00:47:09.520 Alright
00:47:09.720 I have to
00:47:11.920 pause again
00:47:12.540 for another
00:47:13.660 fucking idiot.
00:47:15.120 So this is
00:47:15.940 only a message
00:47:16.620 for fucking idiots.
00:47:18.080 Everybody else
00:47:18.660 you can ignore this.
00:47:20.640 Anything I ever
00:47:21.740 say about Ukraine
00:47:22.820 you should assume
00:47:24.620 is very low
00:47:26.140 credibility
00:47:26.680 because all sources
00:47:28.300 Russian and Ukrainian
00:47:30.100 have no credibility.
00:47:33.060 Got it?
00:47:34.320 So if you'd like
00:47:35.300 to send it
00:47:35.820 if you'd like
00:47:36.600 to put a comment
00:47:37.540 in here that says
00:47:38.400 Scott doesn't know
00:47:39.980 information from
00:47:41.680 the Ukraine war
00:47:42.440 is low credibility
00:47:43.580 well you would be
00:47:45.160 wasting your
00:47:45.760 fucking time
00:47:46.540 because we all
00:47:47.900 know that.
00:47:49.960 Guy did nothing wrong.
00:47:51.360 Alright
00:47:53.540 so we're done
00:47:54.120 with you.
00:47:56.060 So again
00:47:56.800 we don't know
00:47:57.340 what's true
00:47:57.780 but the story
00:47:58.720 is
00:47:59.080 that
00:48:00.740 Russia
00:48:01.580 was using
00:48:02.180 the
00:48:02.620 attack
00:48:03.800 as an excuse
00:48:04.660 for saying
00:48:05.760 they're pulling
00:48:06.160 out of the deal
00:48:06.660 and they said
00:48:08.200 we can allow
00:48:09.120 the grain
00:48:09.620 to go out
00:48:10.240 if Ukraine
00:48:11.440 will agree
00:48:12.400 to stop
00:48:13.000 destroying
00:48:13.480 our navy.
00:48:14.320 And as other
00:48:16.480 people have
00:48:17.000 pointed out
00:48:17.620 we've come
00:48:19.600 a long way
00:48:20.180 from
00:48:20.540 Russia is
00:48:21.680 going to
00:48:22.020 conquer
00:48:22.340 Ukraine
00:48:22.840 in 24 hours
00:48:23.880 or whatever
00:48:24.500 the hell
00:48:24.760 it was
00:48:25.060 they've gone
00:48:26.300 all the way
00:48:26.760 to
00:48:26.980 please don't
00:48:27.880 destroy
00:48:28.200 our navy
00:48:28.680 that actually
00:48:30.700 is happening.
00:48:32.300 Russia is
00:48:33.040 basically
00:48:33.460 trying to
00:48:34.880 negotiate
00:48:35.340 to not
00:48:35.960 have their
00:48:36.380 navy
00:48:36.680 destroyed
00:48:37.400 because it
00:48:38.880 looks like
00:48:39.380 Ukraine
00:48:40.200 could just
00:48:40.640 use these
00:48:41.300 drones
00:48:42.600 I don't know
00:48:43.960 how fast
00:48:44.380 we can
00:48:44.680 make drones
00:48:45.200 and ship
00:48:45.600 them to
00:48:45.880 them
00:48:46.040 but I bet
00:48:46.840 we can
00:48:47.160 make them
00:48:47.660 and ship
00:48:48.080 them to
00:48:48.380 them faster
00:48:48.840 than they
00:48:49.260 can make
00:48:49.620 battleships
00:48:50.300 or destroyers
00:48:51.660 or whatever
00:48:52.000 we're blowing
00:48:53.040 up.
00:48:54.660 So I think
00:48:56.420 that Russia's
00:48:58.140 naval superiority
00:48:59.060 is over
00:48:59.700 and it turns
00:49:01.560 out I didn't
00:49:02.080 know this
00:49:02.420 until today
00:49:02.960 but apparently
00:49:03.820 Turkey has
00:49:04.660 a massive
00:49:05.160 naval force
00:49:06.500 there
00:49:06.780 as you know
00:49:08.120 makes sense
00:49:08.680 it's their
00:49:09.260 backyard
00:49:09.600 so apparently
00:49:11.240 Turkey just
00:49:12.260 said
00:49:12.440 well we
00:49:12.900 are going
00:49:13.260 to ship
00:49:14.800 this grain
00:49:15.300 so Turkey
00:49:16.200 and Ukraine
00:49:16.720 just decided
00:49:17.400 they're going
00:49:17.700 to ship
00:49:18.000 some grain
00:49:18.440 whether Russia
00:49:19.000 likes it
00:49:19.400 or not
00:49:19.760 and Russia
00:49:21.000 decided to
00:49:21.620 let it go
00:49:22.120 because they
00:49:23.160 don't want to
00:49:23.520 fuck with
00:49:23.920 the Turkish
00:49:24.960 navy
00:49:25.340 apparently
00:49:25.800 now I don't
00:49:27.100 know if
00:49:27.340 that's true
00:49:27.780 remember
00:49:28.880 every part
00:49:29.700 of this
00:49:30.060 is low
00:49:31.240 credibility
00:49:31.640 but that's
00:49:32.760 the story
00:49:33.120 of today
00:49:33.580 right
00:49:35.760 yeah
00:49:38.400 so it's
00:49:39.820 funny how
00:49:40.200 the news
00:49:40.860 continues
00:49:41.860 to describe
00:49:43.060 Russia as
00:49:45.880 poor and
00:49:46.840 incompetent
00:49:47.680 and you
00:49:48.300 know
00:49:48.480 paper tiger
00:49:49.320 and all that
00:49:50.000 stuff
00:49:50.280 I don't know
00:49:51.320 if any of
00:49:51.680 that's true
00:49:52.040 I really
00:49:53.360 don't
00:49:54.700 all right
00:49:55.700 what else
00:49:57.480 is fun
00:49:57.920 so
00:50:00.620 I'm going to
00:50:02.700 file this
00:50:03.260 under
00:50:03.580 everything that
00:50:04.920 they told you
00:50:05.520 was bullshit
00:50:06.540 and whoever
00:50:07.740 they is
00:50:08.400 anybody in
00:50:09.200 charge
00:50:09.520 any expert
00:50:11.220 everything
00:50:12.380 they told you
00:50:12.920 is bullshit
00:50:13.300 here's the
00:50:14.180 here's one
00:50:14.700 for today
00:50:15.240 did you
00:50:16.940 know that
00:50:17.500 plastic
00:50:19.160 isn't really
00:50:19.760 recycled
00:50:20.220 I can't
00:50:23.760 believe I'm
00:50:24.180 saying that
00:50:24.900 you know
00:50:26.060 all those
00:50:26.320 plastic bottles
00:50:27.200 I carefully
00:50:30.080 separate them
00:50:30.840 and recycle
00:50:31.380 them
00:50:31.740 not
00:50:34.120 recycled
00:50:34.560 nope
00:50:36.420 not
00:50:37.280 recycled
00:50:37.740 and in
00:50:38.800 fact
00:50:39.120 they end
00:50:39.960 up in
00:50:40.300 garbage
00:50:40.620 in
00:50:41.140 Asian
00:50:42.400 countries
00:50:42.840 I think
00:50:43.300 and then it
00:50:44.260 gets into the
00:50:44.720 water supply
00:50:45.200 and it
00:50:45.440 kills us
00:50:45.800 all
00:50:46.020 so apparently
00:50:47.740 the worst
00:50:48.200 thing you can
00:50:48.660 do is
00:50:48.980 recycle your
00:50:49.640 plastic bottles
00:50:50.400 you should
00:50:50.840 throw them
00:50:51.140 in the
00:50:51.340 regular
00:50:51.620 trash
00:50:52.100 I learned
00:50:52.860 this from
00:50:53.340 Michael
00:50:53.680 Schellenberger
00:50:54.240 in a tweet
00:50:54.800 today
00:50:55.080 I'd never
00:50:55.600 heard this
00:50:56.020 before
00:50:56.340 now I'll
00:50:57.400 tell you
00:50:57.620 what I
00:50:57.860 had heard
00:50:58.320 I remember
00:51:00.340 years ago
00:51:01.000 there was
00:51:01.320 an expose
00:51:01.880 where they
00:51:03.060 showed a
00:51:03.420 video of
00:51:04.760 all of the
00:51:05.320 recycling stuff
00:51:06.300 taken to
00:51:06.860 a central
00:51:07.440 place
00:51:07.880 and it
00:51:08.800 all got
00:51:09.260 ended up
00:51:10.440 in the same
00:51:10.820 garbage
00:51:11.180 with everything
00:51:11.640 else
00:51:12.000 but I
00:51:13.080 remember
00:51:13.700 thinking
00:51:14.140 well that's
00:51:14.500 probably
00:51:14.780 an exception
00:51:16.100 or maybe
00:51:17.940 it's early
00:51:18.500 in the
00:51:18.800 recycling
00:51:19.220 phase
00:51:19.800 but
00:51:20.080 eventually
00:51:20.960 we will
00:51:22.300 in fact
00:51:22.720 be recycling
00:51:23.440 everything
00:51:23.900 because
00:51:24.620 everybody's
00:51:26.120 trying so
00:51:26.560 hard to do
00:51:27.000 it
00:51:27.200 but apparently
00:51:28.460 we never
00:51:28.920 got there
00:51:29.400 I think
00:51:30.740 only 2%
00:51:31.460 or something
00:51:32.020 of plastic
00:51:32.500 gets recycled
00:51:33.220 because it
00:51:34.000 must be
00:51:34.280 hard to do
00:51:34.800 and it
00:51:36.600 just gets
00:51:36.900 thrown away
00:51:37.360 so Schellenberger
00:51:38.320 says the
00:51:38.940 worst thing
00:51:39.360 you can do
00:51:39.740 is recycle
00:51:40.280 your plastic
00:51:40.840 you should
00:51:41.260 throw it
00:51:41.620 in the
00:51:41.820 regular
00:51:42.080 garbage
00:51:42.460 and let
00:51:43.600 it get
00:51:43.860 incinerated
00:51:44.560 or whatever
00:51:45.020 the hell
00:51:45.280 happens to
00:51:45.740 it
00:51:45.940 I don't know
00:51:47.180 but I can't
00:51:47.720 even imagine
00:51:48.140 that's better
00:51:48.660 I don't know
00:51:49.520 how anything
00:51:49.920 is better
00:51:50.400 it sounds
00:51:51.280 like plastic
00:51:51.800 is just
00:51:52.160 poison
00:51:52.500 alright
00:51:54.280 so don't
00:51:54.920 believe anything
00:51:55.420 anybody
00:51:55.700 tells you
00:51:56.180 alright
00:51:57.100 here's some
00:51:57.520 Rasmussen
00:51:58.000 polling
00:51:58.720 information
00:51:59.220 so we're
00:51:59.920 a week
00:52:00.220 before election
00:52:00.800 day
00:52:01.000 for the
00:52:01.240 midterms
00:52:01.660 and
00:52:03.140 half of
00:52:04.080 voters
00:52:04.360 say inflation
00:52:05.120 and the
00:52:05.580 economy
00:52:05.980 are the
00:52:06.360 most important
00:52:06.860 issues
00:52:07.240 alright
00:52:08.260 so 26%
00:52:09.680 of likely
00:52:10.680 voters
00:52:11.080 say inflation
00:52:11.820 is the
00:52:12.160 most important
00:52:12.640 issue
00:52:12.940 and
00:52:14.480 22%
00:52:16.920 coming in
00:52:18.340 a strong
00:52:18.700 second
00:52:19.060 say the
00:52:19.480 economy
00:52:19.900 is the
00:52:20.240 top
00:52:20.440 issue
00:52:20.740 that's
00:52:22.420 right
00:52:22.640 so we're
00:52:24.320 separating
00:52:24.800 inflation
00:52:25.440 from the
00:52:26.820 economy
00:52:27.280 in this
00:52:28.220 polling
00:52:30.360 situation
00:52:30.980 here
00:52:31.260 now
00:52:32.900 should
00:52:34.800 people
00:52:35.200 who can't
00:52:35.780 tell
00:52:36.100 that
00:52:36.820 inflation
00:52:37.300 is part
00:52:37.720 of the
00:52:37.920 economy
00:52:38.340 should
00:52:39.040 they be
00:52:39.380 allowed
00:52:39.660 to answer
00:52:40.020 polls
00:52:40.420 maybe
00:52:42.120 people
00:52:42.720 who can't
00:52:43.160 tell
00:52:43.300 that
00:52:43.500 inflation
00:52:43.900 really
00:52:44.300 is
00:52:44.580 the
00:52:44.920 economy
00:52:45.320 maybe
00:52:47.040 they
00:52:47.280 shouldn't
00:52:47.520 be
00:52:47.640 allowed
00:52:47.860 to
00:52:48.020 answer
00:52:48.180 polls
00:52:48.580 I'm
00:52:51.500 just
00:52:51.680 kidding
00:52:51.920 so
00:52:52.160 actually
00:52:52.520 the way
00:52:52.860 the poll
00:52:53.200 was
00:52:53.400 answered
00:52:53.920 it was
00:52:54.520 a reasonable
00:52:54.980 way to
00:52:55.300 answer it
00:52:55.800 it was
00:52:56.460 actually
00:52:56.700 reasonable
00:52:57.120 because
00:52:57.360 it's based
00:52:58.580 on asking
00:52:59.200 what's
00:52:59.480 the top
00:53:00.480 issue
00:53:00.800 and so
00:53:02.300 if some
00:53:02.700 people
00:53:02.980 pulled
00:53:03.320 inflation
00:53:03.780 out of
00:53:04.060 the economy
00:53:04.480 and said
00:53:04.740 that's
00:53:05.000 the top
00:53:05.300 issue
00:53:05.560 that's
00:53:06.220 not
00:53:06.380 crazy
00:53:06.740 but
00:53:07.980 it does
00:53:09.220 tell you
00:53:09.580 that it's
00:53:10.040 basically
00:53:10.400 the economy
00:53:11.080 right
00:53:11.920 the economy
00:53:13.180 is all
00:53:13.480 anybody cares
00:53:13.980 about
00:53:14.320 not anybody
00:53:15.480 I'm
00:53:15.680 exaggerating
00:53:16.120 but here's
00:53:17.140 a number
00:53:17.580 that surprised
00:53:18.280 me
00:53:18.580 now this
00:53:24.100 is a
00:53:24.380 ranking
00:53:24.720 of what
00:53:25.300 people
00:53:25.540 think
00:53:25.760 is most
00:53:26.120 important
00:53:26.480 only 19%
00:53:28.340 say abortion
00:53:28.980 rights
00:53:29.480 19%
00:53:32.580 that's
00:53:33.220 still a
00:53:33.560 lot
00:53:33.920 that does
00:53:34.960 seem like
00:53:35.340 enough
00:53:35.580 to move
00:53:36.180 an election
00:53:36.640 8%
00:53:38.020 say climate
00:53:39.000 change
00:53:39.520 8%
00:53:40.980 say violent
00:53:41.620 crime
00:53:42.120 does that
00:53:43.400 seem right
00:53:43.940 now 8%
00:53:45.940 say violent
00:53:46.580 crime
00:53:46.940 actually
00:53:47.460 makes sense
00:53:48.280 because that's
00:53:49.040 how many
00:53:49.340 people
00:53:49.660 probably
00:53:50.860 are in
00:53:51.280 dangerous
00:53:51.720 places
00:53:52.200 where I
00:53:54.200 live
00:53:54.520 I still
00:53:55.100 don't have
00:53:55.520 a big
00:53:56.880 violent
00:53:57.260 crime
00:53:57.620 problem
00:53:58.060 although
00:53:58.440 it's
00:53:59.000 definitely
00:53:59.240 ticking up
00:53:59.900 even where
00:54:00.900 I live
00:54:01.200 it's
00:54:01.380 ticking up
00:54:02.260 there's
00:54:02.820 some
00:54:02.960 home
00:54:03.160 invasions
00:54:03.720 in the
00:54:04.020 neighborhood
00:54:04.280 and stuff
00:54:04.680 but
00:54:05.640 I don't
00:54:07.420 think
00:54:07.860 about it
00:54:08.280 on a
00:54:08.540 day to
00:54:08.800 day
00:54:08.940 basis
00:54:09.400 like in
00:54:10.660 my
00:54:10.900 daily
00:54:11.400 travels
00:54:11.820 I don't
00:54:12.280 really
00:54:12.520 ever
00:54:12.700 think
00:54:12.920 about
00:54:13.120 crime
00:54:13.580 but
00:54:15.160 probably
00:54:15.480 about
00:54:15.700 8%
00:54:16.140 of the
00:54:16.380 country
00:54:16.640 lives
00:54:16.920 somewhere
00:54:17.240 where
00:54:17.480 it's
00:54:17.620 all
00:54:17.760 they
00:54:17.900 have
00:54:18.060 to
00:54:18.160 think
00:54:18.340 about
00:54:18.640 so
00:54:20.720 and maybe
00:54:21.760 more than
00:54:22.140 that
00:54:22.320 because
00:54:22.480 those
00:54:22.680 are the
00:54:23.020 city
00:54:24.260 centers
00:54:24.620 but it
00:54:25.820 still
00:54:25.960 seems
00:54:26.180 like a
00:54:26.500 low
00:54:26.660 number
00:54:26.960 I'm
00:54:27.480 surprised
00:54:27.780 that's
00:54:28.060 not
00:54:28.200 bigger
00:54:28.440 and
00:54:29.960 only
00:54:30.200 2%
00:54:30.700 of
00:54:31.040 people
00:54:31.980 say
00:54:32.720 that
00:54:33.040 Ukraine
00:54:33.600 or
00:54:33.940 LGBT
00:54:34.400 rights
00:54:34.960 matter
00:54:35.340 to
00:54:35.500 them
00:54:35.680 in
00:54:36.600 terms
00:54:36.880 of
00:54:37.100 ranked
00:54:37.620 at
00:54:37.860 the
00:54:38.020 top
00:54:38.280 so
00:54:40.440 here's
00:54:41.660 the
00:54:41.800 good
00:54:41.980 news
00:54:42.340 I
00:54:43.500 feel
00:54:43.760 like
00:54:43.940 people
00:54:44.200 have
00:54:44.400 their
00:54:44.580 priorities
00:54:45.020 right
00:54:45.440 don't
00:54:46.680 you
00:54:46.900 I
00:54:48.820 would
00:54:49.020 be
00:54:49.180 worried
00:54:49.600 if
00:54:50.460 one
00:54:51.300 of
00:54:51.420 these
00:54:51.740 lesser
00:54:52.220 issues
00:54:52.880 happened
00:54:53.940 to be
00:54:54.160 at
00:54:54.260 the
00:54:54.380 top
00:54:54.700 is
00:54:55.740 that
00:54:55.920 good
00:54:56.220 news
00:54:56.620 it
00:54:57.660 feels
00:54:57.880 like
00:54:58.140 it
00:54:58.240 doesn't
00:54:58.500 it
00:54:59.260 it
00:54:59.560 feels
00:54:59.780 like
00:54:59.980 good
00:55:00.200 news
00:55:00.540 that
00:55:00.900 when
00:55:01.580 we
00:55:01.740 look
00:55:01.960 at
00:55:02.080 the
00:55:02.220 list
00:55:02.440 of
00:55:02.600 priorities
00:55:03.080 we're
00:55:04.320 kind
00:55:04.560 of
00:55:04.660 all
00:55:04.820 on
00:55:04.920 the
00:55:05.000 same
00:55:05.160 page
00:55:05.540 in
00:55:06.160 the
00:55:06.260 country
00:55:06.560 we have
00:55:07.620 different
00:55:07.880 ideas
00:55:08.220 what
00:55:08.440 to
00:55:08.580 do
00:55:08.700 about
00:55:08.920 it
00:55:09.160 but
00:55:09.920 I
00:55:10.200 feel
00:55:10.400 like
00:55:10.580 that's
00:55:10.820 unusual
00:55:11.220 that
00:55:11.500 we're
00:55:11.640 even
00:55:11.840 on
00:55:12.040 the
00:55:12.160 same
00:55:13.460 side
00:55:13.940 of
00:55:16.900 that's
00:55:17.240 a
00:55:17.380 little
00:55:17.800 bit
00:55:18.080 unusual
00:55:18.540 isn't
00:55:18.880 it
00:55:19.520 maybe
00:55:20.840 it
00:55:21.060 maybe
00:55:21.700 it
00:55:21.860 suggests
00:55:22.160 something
00:55:22.480 good
00:55:22.740 is
00:55:22.880 going
00:55:23.080 to
00:55:23.160 happen
00:55:23.400 but
00:55:25.240 illegal
00:55:27.960 immigration
00:55:28.520 was only
00:55:29.120 the most
00:55:29.480 important
00:55:29.800 thing
00:55:30.040 to
00:55:30.200 I guess
00:55:30.500 8%
00:55:31.100 you know
00:55:32.760 what's
00:55:32.920 weird
00:55:33.120 about
00:55:33.380 illegal
00:55:33.860 immigration
00:55:34.360 here's
00:55:35.780 what I
00:55:36.120 can't
00:55:36.440 understand
00:55:36.940 I
00:55:39.140 don't
00:55:39.420 understand
00:55:40.020 why the
00:55:40.880 impact
00:55:41.460 of it
00:55:41.820 on my
00:55:42.220 day to
00:55:42.580 day
00:55:42.720 life
00:55:43.040 is not
00:55:43.460 bigger
00:55:43.840 is
00:55:45.920 anybody
00:55:46.180 else
00:55:46.580 having
00:55:46.820 that
00:55:47.080 or
00:55:47.620 maybe
00:55:48.740 it's
00:55:48.960 like
00:55:49.120 a
00:55:49.280 huge
00:55:49.600 impact
00:55:50.000 in
00:55:50.200 some
00:55:50.400 small
00:55:50.900 areas
00:55:51.620 right
00:55:52.920 now
00:55:53.340 I
00:55:53.460 don't
00:55:53.620 live
00:55:53.800 on
00:55:53.920 the
00:55:54.040 border
00:55:54.320 so
00:55:54.760 if
00:55:54.880 I
00:55:55.000 lived
00:55:55.260 on
00:55:56.080 the
00:55:56.200 border
00:55:56.420 I'd
00:55:56.680 be
00:55:56.880 probably
00:55:57.400 complaining
00:55:57.960 every
00:55:58.240 day
00:55:58.480 but
00:55:59.300 why
00:55:59.680 does
00:55:59.900 that
00:56:00.060 problem
00:56:00.520 not
00:56:01.900 spread
00:56:02.520 faster
00:56:03.120 from
00:56:03.440 the
00:56:03.600 border
00:56:03.920 right
00:56:04.960 I'm
00:56:05.440 in
00:56:05.540 a
00:56:05.720 border
00:56:06.040 state
00:56:07.120 but
00:56:08.080 I'm
00:56:08.280 in
00:56:08.380 the
00:56:08.540 northern
00:56:08.780 part
00:56:09.120 of
00:56:09.220 the
00:56:09.320 border
00:56:09.540 state
00:56:09.860 and
00:56:10.040 here
00:56:10.280 I
00:56:10.980 don't
00:56:11.120 really
00:56:11.360 see
00:56:11.780 I'll
00:56:12.760 tell you
00:56:12.980 the
00:56:13.100 only
00:56:13.260 place
00:56:13.540 I
00:56:13.680 see
00:56:13.920 the
00:56:14.240 impact
00:56:15.360 is
00:56:16.100 there
00:56:16.280 are
00:56:16.520 quite
00:56:17.340 a few
00:56:17.640 students
00:56:18.200 who
00:56:19.540 are
00:56:20.040 shall we
00:56:21.340 say
00:56:21.500 undocumented
00:56:22.160 immigrants
00:56:22.920 so a lot
00:56:24.280 of the
00:56:24.520 students
00:56:24.800 in the
00:56:25.080 schools
00:56:25.500 are
00:56:26.100 clear
00:56:26.380 there
00:56:26.560 but
00:56:27.060 it
00:56:28.080 doesn't
00:56:28.520 affect
00:56:29.000 people
00:56:29.320 too
00:56:29.540 much
00:56:29.920 they
00:56:31.480 make
00:56:31.920 friends
00:56:32.300 they
00:56:32.760 stay
00:56:33.380 with
00:56:33.600 their
00:56:33.820 group
00:56:35.200 doesn't
00:56:37.140 seem to
00:56:37.420 make
00:56:37.540 much
00:56:37.740 difference
00:56:38.180 where
00:56:39.580 I
00:56:40.020 am
00:56:40.240 healthcare
00:56:42.180 is
00:56:42.440 overloaded
00:56:43.140 well
00:56:43.760 maybe
00:56:44.020 that's
00:56:44.280 why
00:56:44.440 I
00:56:44.580 can't
00:56:44.780 get
00:56:44.900 healthcare
00:56:45.280 effectively
00:56:46.340 so
00:56:47.500 that's
00:56:47.720 a good
00:56:47.900 point
00:56:48.160 but
00:56:48.400 I
00:56:48.520 wouldn't
00:56:48.740 know
00:56:48.960 that
00:56:49.140 that's
00:56:49.360 why
00:56:49.540 I
00:56:49.940 think
00:56:50.120 that's
00:56:50.320 more
00:56:50.460 about
00:56:50.640 a
00:56:50.800 staffing
00:56:51.120 problem
00:56:51.520 isn't
00:56:51.760 it
00:56:52.420 I
00:56:52.920 think
00:56:53.360 healthcare
00:56:53.700 is
00:56:53.860 more
00:56:54.020 of
00:56:54.120 a
00:56:54.240 staffing
00:56:54.540 problem
00:56:54.960 but
00:56:55.220 I'm
00:56:55.340 not
00:56:55.540 sure
00:56:55.820 all
00:56:58.220 right
00:56:58.420 so
00:57:00.860 I'm
00:57:01.340 just
00:57:01.500 going
00:57:01.620 to
00:57:01.660 make
00:57:01.820 the
00:57:02.020 comment
00:57:02.420 that
00:57:03.020 everybody
00:57:04.140 feels
00:57:05.560 the
00:57:05.740 economy
00:57:06.040 and
00:57:06.240 everybody
00:57:06.520 feels
00:57:06.840 inflation
00:57:07.260 but
00:57:08.760 the
00:57:09.200 poll
00:57:09.560 I
00:57:09.740 think
00:57:09.920 reflects
00:57:10.440 that
00:57:10.680 not
00:57:10.880 everybody
00:57:11.240 feels
00:57:11.560 anything
00:57:11.940 about
00:57:12.280 immigration
00:57:12.980 most
00:57:15.080 people
00:57:15.400 I
00:57:15.560 think
00:57:15.780 don't
00:57:16.220 feel
00:57:16.460 the
00:57:16.660 direct
00:57:17.040 immigration
00:57:17.600 effect
00:57:18.080 although
00:57:18.460 it's
00:57:18.760 probably
00:57:19.060 affecting
00:57:19.460 us
00:57:19.720 in a
00:57:20.520 big
00:57:20.660 way
00:57:20.960 indirectly
00:57:21.600 and
00:57:21.860 then
00:57:21.980 the
00:57:22.140 fentanyl
00:57:22.500 thing
00:57:22.700 you
00:57:22.840 might
00:57:23.040 connect
00:57:23.640 with
00:57:23.820 that
00:57:23.980 right
00:57:24.220 exactly
00:57:26.120 Supreme
00:57:29.720 Court
00:57:30.240 is
00:57:31.360 listening
00:57:31.740 to
00:57:31.920 this
00:57:32.100 case
00:57:32.400 about
00:57:32.740 racial
00:57:33.260 discrimination
00:57:33.880 in
00:57:34.180 college
00:57:34.640 admissions
00:57:35.160 and
00:57:36.540 I guess
00:57:36.800 Harvard
00:57:37.120 and
00:57:37.560 University
00:57:37.980 of
00:57:38.140 North
00:57:38.320 Carolina
00:57:38.740 are
00:57:39.080 arguing
00:57:39.460 that
00:57:39.760 they
00:57:39.940 should
00:57:40.160 be
00:57:40.320 able
00:57:40.480 to
00:57:40.640 use
00:57:40.960 race
00:57:42.220 in part
00:57:42.920 of their
00:57:43.300 decision
00:57:44.360 making
00:57:44.640 about
00:57:44.880 who
00:57:45.020 to
00:57:45.160 bring
00:57:45.900 in
00:57:46.080 and
00:57:46.600 I guess
00:57:46.840 it's
00:57:47.060 Asian
00:57:47.420 Americans
00:57:47.840 who
00:57:48.300 were
00:57:49.140 the
00:57:49.500 victim
00:57:50.980 class
00:57:51.480 in
00:57:51.660 these
00:57:51.860 lawsuits
00:57:52.260 or
00:57:53.540 these
00:57:53.780 actions
00:57:54.160 and
00:57:55.260 here's
00:57:56.880 something
00:57:57.120 that I
00:57:57.400 didn't
00:57:57.540 know
00:57:57.780 a little
00:57:58.060 background
00:57:58.480 that's
00:57:58.740 very
00:57:59.000 interesting
00:57:59.380 so
00:58:00.600 there
00:58:01.060 was
00:58:01.200 a
00:58:01.360 case
00:58:01.620 in
00:58:01.780 2003
00:58:02.440 Grutter
00:58:03.580 vs.
00:58:04.120 Bollinger
00:58:04.480 in
00:58:05.840 which
00:58:06.200 Justice
00:58:07.280 Sandra
00:58:07.680 Day
00:58:07.880 O'Connor
00:58:08.280 wrote
00:58:09.660 and I
00:58:10.160 guess
00:58:10.280 that was
00:58:10.660 the thing
00:58:11.460 that allowed
00:58:12.140 colleges
00:58:13.620 to use
00:58:14.280 race
00:58:14.660 in
00:58:14.960 admissions
00:58:15.340 so
00:58:16.260 in
00:58:16.380 2003
00:58:16.940 there was
00:58:17.240 a case
00:58:17.580 that gave
00:58:18.520 them the
00:58:18.800 cover
00:58:19.080 to use
00:58:19.780 race
00:58:20.080 in
00:58:20.300 admissions
00:58:20.680 and
00:58:21.920 then
00:58:22.220 even
00:58:22.800 when that
00:58:23.240 decision
00:58:23.580 was made
00:58:24.220 25
00:58:25.400 years ago
00:58:26.140 Sandra
00:58:26.580 Day
00:58:26.800 O'Connor
00:58:27.140 said
00:58:27.500 that
00:58:28.300 probably
00:58:28.720 you
00:58:28.940 wouldn't
00:58:29.160 need
00:58:29.400 this
00:58:29.640 in
00:58:29.800 25
00:58:30.220 years
00:58:30.720 you
00:58:31.900 wouldn't
00:58:32.140 need
00:58:32.440 it
00:58:32.560 in
00:58:32.660 25
00:58:33.040 years
00:58:33.500 and
00:58:34.480 it's
00:58:34.900 19
00:58:35.200 years
00:58:35.500 from
00:58:35.680 then
00:58:35.860 that
00:58:37.520 was
00:58:37.700 a
00:58:37.820 pretty
00:58:37.960 good
00:58:38.200 call
00:58:38.580 to
00:58:40.000 talk
00:58:40.480 about
00:58:40.640 a
00:58:40.760 good
00:58:40.920 prediction
00:58:41.400 that
00:58:42.360 was
00:58:42.500 a
00:58:42.600 hell
00:58:42.740 of
00:58:42.860 a
00:58:42.980 prediction
00:58:43.340 and
00:58:44.700 also
00:58:45.080 I
00:58:45.400 would
00:58:45.580 argue
00:58:45.900 that's
00:58:46.780 the
00:58:46.960 best
00:58:47.240 of
00:58:47.440 America
00:58:47.860 right
00:58:48.120 there
00:58:48.340 that's
00:58:49.280 the
00:58:49.420 best
00:58:49.720 of
00:58:49.900 America
00:58:50.300 because
00:58:51.420 that
00:58:51.720 was
00:58:51.860 a
00:58:52.020 25
00:58:52.520 year
00:58:52.960 plan
00:58:53.480 to
00:58:54.260 fix
00:58:54.600 something
00:58:55.060 with
00:58:56.100 an
00:58:56.280 understanding
00:58:56.820 that
00:58:57.100 once
00:58:57.300 it
00:58:57.420 got
00:58:57.560 fixed
00:58:57.880 you
00:58:58.100 needed
00:58:58.340 to
00:58:58.580 adjust
00:58:59.900 again
00:59:00.380 damn
00:59:01.400 damn
00:59:02.780 you know
00:59:04.060 if I'd
00:59:04.600 known
00:59:05.020 that that
00:59:06.160 was a
00:59:06.540 sort of
00:59:07.460 a
00:59:07.600 25
00:59:07.980 year
00:59:08.640 expectation
00:59:09.200 now it's
00:59:09.740 not a
00:59:10.020 binding
00:59:10.380 kind of
00:59:10.900 thing
00:59:11.100 it was
00:59:11.280 just a
00:59:11.640 prediction
00:59:11.980 but that
00:59:13.560 would have
00:59:13.860 felt
00:59:14.140 different
00:59:14.480 to me
00:59:14.920 than
00:59:16.020 imagining
00:59:16.480 it's
00:59:16.760 some
00:59:16.960 permanent
00:59:17.420 condition
00:59:17.960 it would
00:59:19.400 have felt
00:59:19.640 different
00:59:19.940 so good
00:59:21.600 job
00:59:22.000 Sandra Day
00:59:22.600 O'Connor
00:59:23.000 on that
00:59:23.360 prediction
00:59:23.700 but we'll
00:59:24.540 see if it
00:59:24.880 makes any
00:59:25.220 difference
00:59:25.500 we'll see
00:59:25.820 if she's
00:59:26.100 right
00:59:26.300 Harvard
00:59:28.400 apparently
00:59:29.000 wants to
00:59:29.660 use
00:59:30.040 race
00:59:30.440 forever
00:59:31.000 even if
00:59:33.120 they reach
00:59:33.800 some kind
00:59:34.260 of parity
00:59:34.760 they just
00:59:35.920 always want
00:59:36.400 to use
00:59:36.680 it
00:59:36.900 and it
00:59:37.840 sounds like
00:59:38.320 the argument
00:59:39.500 in favor
00:59:40.240 of keeping
00:59:40.680 it is
00:59:41.160 weak
00:59:41.680 so
00:59:43.340 it's hard
00:59:44.340 to know
00:59:44.640 how the
00:59:45.120 court will
00:59:45.920 rule
00:59:46.300 based on
00:59:46.860 the questions
00:59:47.360 they ask
00:59:47.980 but so
00:59:48.900 far it
00:59:49.420 looks like
00:59:50.040 it's going
00:59:51.440 to be
00:59:51.600 overturned
00:59:52.260 and I
00:59:53.400 think race
00:59:53.920 will
00:59:54.260 not be
00:59:55.900 allowed
00:59:57.220 as a
00:59:57.960 tool
00:59:59.700 for
00:59:59.940 admissions
01:00:00.380 overturning
01:00:06.200 is probable
01:00:06.720 yeah
01:00:07.180 now
01:00:08.160 that's
01:00:08.700 what you
01:00:08.960 get with
01:00:09.340 your
01:00:09.680 conservative
01:00:11.600 court
01:00:12.060 right
01:00:12.340 there's
01:00:12.960 no way
01:00:13.300 this would
01:00:13.620 get overturned
01:00:14.420 with a
01:00:14.980 liberal
01:00:15.380 court
01:00:15.840 wouldn't
01:00:16.700 you agree
01:00:17.080 I think
01:00:19.600 so
01:00:19.880 all right
01:00:22.380 well we'll
01:00:23.280 see what
01:00:23.560 happens
01:00:23.840 there
01:00:24.060 all right
01:00:25.020 ladies and
01:00:25.500 gentlemen
01:00:25.780 it's another
01:00:29.040 wonderful day
01:00:29.740 in which
01:00:30.040 we'll be
01:00:30.400 waiting for
01:00:31.100 Elon Musk
01:00:31.820 to make
01:00:32.240 us more
01:00:32.620 news
01:00:33.000 because he's
01:00:34.440 in charge
01:00:34.780 of making
01:00:35.080 news now
01:00:35.580 and if
01:00:37.040 he doesn't
01:00:37.400 tweet today
01:00:37.960 I don't
01:00:38.420 know what
01:00:38.640 I'm going
01:00:38.840 to talk
01:00:39.100 about
01:00:39.400 yeah
01:00:45.820 sunset it
01:00:47.140 exactly
01:00:47.680 you know
01:00:49.360 what I
01:00:49.620 think
01:00:50.220 if you're
01:00:50.680 going to
01:00:50.860 get rid
01:00:51.220 of racial
01:00:51.840 preferences
01:00:52.460 in
01:00:53.980 colleges
01:00:54.420 I feel
01:00:57.600 like it
01:00:57.920 should be
01:00:58.840 accompanied
01:00:59.300 with some
01:00:59.720 kind of
01:01:00.020 like a
01:01:00.520 celebration
01:01:01.080 and like a
01:01:03.560 congratulations
01:01:04.320 to black
01:01:05.040 Americans in
01:01:05.740 particular
01:01:06.200 because
01:01:08.440 correct me
01:01:10.880 if I'm
01:01:11.140 wrong
01:01:11.460 did not
01:01:12.920 black
01:01:13.320 Americans
01:01:13.820 fight for
01:01:14.940 you know
01:01:15.620 exactly this
01:01:16.540 sort of thing
01:01:17.280 for the last
01:01:17.760 19 years
01:01:18.840 and did it
01:01:20.120 not help
01:01:20.560 them
01:01:20.800 probably did
01:01:21.940 probably helped
01:01:23.020 a lot
01:01:23.400 and
01:01:24.800 you know
01:01:26.060 if you reach
01:01:26.560 a point
01:01:26.860 where the
01:01:27.520 help has
01:01:28.180 reached a
01:01:29.020 sufficient
01:01:29.360 level
01:01:29.780 if black
01:01:31.420 Americans
01:01:31.860 were willing
01:01:32.720 to release
01:01:33.420 on that
01:01:33.860 that would
01:01:35.160 go a long
01:01:35.700 way
01:01:36.080 for
01:01:37.520 you know
01:01:38.680 racial
01:01:39.180 harmony
01:01:40.040 wouldn't
01:01:41.340 it
01:01:41.860 this is
01:01:43.820 one of
01:01:44.100 those
01:01:44.280 opportunities
01:01:44.840 where
01:01:46.180 saying the
01:01:46.960 right thing
01:01:47.460 could make
01:01:47.880 such a
01:01:48.260 difference
01:01:48.600 how would
01:01:50.280 you feel
01:01:50.700 about
01:01:51.200 people who
01:01:52.960 use racial
01:01:54.080 preferences
01:01:54.720 to get
01:01:55.920 into college
01:01:56.520 you're probably
01:01:56.880 saying
01:01:57.180 I understand
01:01:59.600 why it
01:02:00.060 exists
01:02:00.560 I understand
01:02:01.780 the history
01:02:02.220 of it
01:02:02.580 but isn't
01:02:03.780 it time
01:02:04.140 to do away
01:02:04.640 with that
01:02:05.040 so you don't
01:02:05.980 like the
01:02:06.300 racial
01:02:06.560 preferences
01:02:07.020 it gives
01:02:08.040 you a bad
01:02:08.460 feeling about
01:02:09.140 maybe people
01:02:10.020 who benefited
01:02:10.520 from it
01:02:11.120 it's sort
01:02:11.880 of automatic
01:02:12.520 but suppose
01:02:13.640 the people
01:02:14.040 who benefited
01:02:14.500 from it
01:02:15.180 said thank
01:02:16.600 you very
01:02:16.960 much
01:02:17.320 we appreciate
01:02:19.500 it
01:02:19.860 and now
01:02:20.740 we can
01:02:21.480 release
01:02:21.860 on it
01:02:22.300 that's
01:02:23.620 George
01:02:23.920 Washington
01:02:24.400 level
01:02:24.880 and it's
01:02:26.120 not going
01:02:26.460 to happen
01:02:26.780 imagine
01:02:27.660 having a
01:02:28.740 really good
01:02:29.840 black leader
01:02:30.560 like a
01:02:31.180 Martin Luther
01:02:31.780 King
01:02:32.080 type
01:02:32.400 imagine
01:02:33.340 Martin
01:02:33.660 Luther
01:02:33.880 King
01:02:34.140 saying
01:02:34.440 you know
01:02:34.700 what
01:02:34.940 thank
01:02:36.040 you
01:02:36.320 damn
01:02:37.880 thank
01:02:38.180 you
01:02:38.380 thank
01:02:39.200 you
01:02:39.360 for
01:02:39.520 19
01:02:39.920 years
01:02:40.380 of
01:02:40.820 helping
01:02:41.140 to
01:02:41.420 make
01:02:42.240 this
01:02:42.440 more
01:02:42.660 even
01:02:42.920 and in
01:02:43.680 return
01:02:44.140 in return
01:02:45.580 we're going
01:02:45.920 to release
01:02:46.340 it
01:02:46.640 we're going
01:02:47.240 to George
01:02:47.940 Washington
01:02:48.440 and we're
01:02:49.560 going to
01:02:49.920 walk away
01:02:51.000 when we
01:02:51.380 didn't need
01:02:51.800 to
01:02:51.980 we could
01:02:52.660 have fought
01:02:52.960 to keep
01:02:53.320 it
01:02:53.520 but we're
01:02:54.440 going to
01:02:54.580 say just
01:02:54.880 say thank
01:02:55.300 you
01:02:55.460 and fight
01:02:57.680 other fights
01:02:58.360 together
01:02:58.800 because the
01:02:59.780 next fight
01:03:00.300 that the
01:03:00.600 black and
01:03:01.240 rest of the
01:03:01.960 world needs
01:03:02.680 to fight
01:03:03.060 is
01:03:04.160 teachers
01:03:04.740 unions
01:03:05.140 so
01:03:07.000 imagine a
01:03:08.380 world in
01:03:08.780 which we
01:03:09.100 declare a
01:03:09.980 collective
01:03:10.400 victory
01:03:10.960 in the
01:03:11.880 college
01:03:12.420 area
01:03:12.800 but don't
01:03:13.740 you know
01:03:14.020 don't
01:03:15.020 don't give
01:03:15.520 up on
01:03:15.860 making sure
01:03:16.320 that everybody's
01:03:17.240 got a chance
01:03:17.700 to go to
01:03:18.020 college
01:03:18.260 right
01:03:18.440 if that
01:03:19.600 even makes
01:03:20.040 sense
01:03:20.220 anymore
01:03:20.500 but say
01:03:21.780 how about
01:03:22.360 that was
01:03:22.940 great
01:03:23.320 how about
01:03:23.940 we work
01:03:24.380 together
01:03:24.700 and we
01:03:24.940 got that
01:03:25.320 done
01:03:25.600 and how
01:03:26.820 about
01:03:27.000 that was
01:03:27.340 just
01:03:27.520 awesome
01:03:27.840 and how
01:03:29.040 about
01:03:29.260 now
01:03:29.600 we've
01:03:30.360 reached
01:03:30.560 a different
01:03:30.900 point
01:03:31.180 in time
01:03:31.540 we both
01:03:32.580 agree
01:03:32.920 that that's
01:03:33.380 just a
01:03:33.720 thank you
01:03:34.080 situation
01:03:34.680 that's
01:03:35.380 that's
01:03:35.680 just
01:03:35.800 thank you
01:03:36.240 and then
01:03:37.440 we work
01:03:38.400 together
01:03:38.780 to solve
01:03:39.220 the next
01:03:39.640 biggest
01:03:40.000 problem
01:03:40.400 which is
01:03:40.900 correct me
01:03:42.520 if I'm
01:03:42.760 wrong
01:03:43.060 if you
01:03:44.160 fix
01:03:44.480 the lower
01:03:45.020 level
01:03:45.340 schools
01:03:45.980 you don't
01:03:47.400 need
01:03:47.820 to have
01:03:49.620 your colleges
01:03:50.240 be biased
01:03:51.220 because then
01:03:52.320 they just
01:03:52.840 accept everybody
01:03:53.580 who did a
01:03:54.020 good job
01:03:54.340 in school
01:03:54.740 and then
01:03:55.540 everybody's
01:03:55.960 happy
01:03:56.220 or close
01:03:57.780 to it
01:03:58.780 yeah
01:04:00.520 in terms
01:04:02.580 of persuasion
01:04:03.460 gratitude
01:04:05.020 is one
01:04:05.680 of the
01:04:05.900 strongest
01:04:06.580 pieces
01:04:08.600 pieces of
01:04:09.100 persuasion
01:04:09.920 you can
01:04:10.200 ever
01:04:10.360 use
01:04:10.640 when
01:04:11.300 somebody
01:04:11.620 shows
01:04:11.960 gratitude
01:04:12.560 it
01:04:13.380 completely
01:04:13.900 changes
01:04:14.440 how you
01:04:15.060 treat
01:04:15.340 them
01:04:15.620 right
01:04:16.500 if somebody
01:04:18.640 just asks
01:04:19.080 for something
01:04:19.620 and they've
01:04:19.960 got an
01:04:20.260 attitude
01:04:20.580 like
01:04:20.960 you owe
01:04:22.040 it to
01:04:22.300 them
01:04:22.460 you're
01:04:23.560 going to
01:04:23.700 do
01:04:23.800 everything
01:04:24.100 you can
01:04:24.440 not to
01:04:24.780 give it
01:04:25.000 to
01:04:25.100 them
01:04:25.260 but if
01:04:26.460 somebody
01:04:26.740 is like
01:04:27.020 really
01:04:27.320 genuinely
01:04:27.940 thankful
01:04:29.460 you actually
01:04:31.200 feel good
01:04:31.720 too
01:04:31.940 they get
01:04:32.940 something
01:04:33.260 and then
01:04:33.600 you get
01:04:33.920 something
01:04:34.240 and then
01:04:34.560 everybody's
01:04:34.940 happy
01:04:35.220 like that's
01:04:36.200 a perfect
01:04:36.540 world
01:04:36.900 so
01:04:38.220 but think
01:04:39.040 about it
01:04:39.380 think about
01:04:39.920 imagine if
01:04:40.800 the court
01:04:41.640 case goes
01:04:42.780 the way
01:04:43.980 I guess
01:04:44.820 it will go
01:04:45.260 and it
01:04:46.760 actually says
01:04:47.340 that was
01:04:47.660 great for
01:04:48.120 19 years
01:04:48.800 but now
01:04:49.140 we need
01:04:49.380 to make
01:04:49.680 an adjustment
01:04:50.160 should we
01:04:51.460 treat that
01:04:51.960 as we
01:04:52.520 lost
01:04:52.880 something
01:04:53.300 because I
01:04:54.340 fear that
01:04:55.060 I fear
01:04:56.380 that we'll
01:04:56.840 treat it
01:04:57.160 like a loss
01:04:57.840 or half the
01:04:58.760 country will
01:04:59.120 treat it
01:04:59.380 a loss
01:04:59.860 that should
01:05:00.900 be treated
01:05:01.280 like wow
01:05:02.740 that really
01:05:03.820 worked now
01:05:04.380 let's work
01:05:04.780 together on
01:05:05.340 the next
01:05:05.700 other problem
01:05:06.340 and then
01:05:07.140 have a victory
01:05:08.680 after that
01:05:09.180 as well
01:05:09.520 so maybe
01:05:11.760 we have
01:05:12.940 some opportunity
01:05:13.640 for the
01:05:14.080 golden age
01:05:14.740 maybe
01:05:15.800 yeah dream
01:05:17.180 on
01:05:17.460 you're right
01:05:18.280 dream on
01:05:18.820 I would argue
01:05:20.240 that the
01:05:20.800 biggest thing
01:05:21.740 that the
01:05:22.320 black community
01:05:23.300 in America
01:05:23.900 lacks
01:05:24.640 is a
01:05:26.140 capable
01:05:26.620 leader
01:05:27.080 would you
01:05:29.220 agree with
01:05:29.520 that
01:05:29.700 if I
01:05:31.320 ask you
01:05:31.600 who's the
01:05:32.140 leader
01:05:32.820 of black
01:05:33.780 America
01:05:34.220 I'm not
01:05:34.700 even sure
01:05:35.400 what names
01:05:36.340 I would
01:05:36.640 put in
01:05:36.900 the top
01:05:37.180 three
01:05:37.480 are you
01:05:39.480 you know
01:05:41.860 somebody says
01:05:42.540 Obama
01:05:42.960 but Obama
01:05:44.160 is successful
01:05:45.740 because he
01:05:46.420 wasn't a
01:05:46.940 black leader
01:05:47.480 like his
01:05:49.180 success
01:05:49.640 entirely
01:05:50.600 depended
01:05:51.120 on him
01:05:51.600 rejecting
01:05:52.200 the idea
01:05:53.700 that he
01:05:54.040 was the
01:05:54.800 black
01:05:55.080 president
01:05:55.460 which he
01:05:56.480 did
01:05:56.680 perfectly
01:05:57.400 he did
01:05:58.580 that
01:05:58.760 perfectly
01:05:59.200 all right
01:06:02.540 what about
01:06:05.040 John Fetterman
01:06:05.840 well I hear
01:06:07.600 the
01:06:08.100 I was going
01:06:11.440 to say
01:06:11.660 it's neck
01:06:12.060 and neck
01:06:12.420 but that
01:06:12.800 just seems
01:06:13.260 so wrong
01:06:14.800 just so wrong
01:06:16.360 Larry Elder
01:06:17.540 yeah there
01:06:18.120 are plenty
01:06:18.700 of black
01:06:19.640 leaders
01:06:20.580 that you
01:06:22.340 could look
01:06:22.720 to to say
01:06:23.360 hey if I
01:06:23.860 want to
01:06:24.180 have somebody
01:06:24.660 have an
01:06:25.200 opinion on
01:06:25.740 TV or
01:06:26.240 something
01:06:26.520 you know
01:06:27.680 you could
01:06:28.000 get plenty
01:06:28.480 of choices
01:06:29.020 but who
01:06:29.800 would be a
01:06:30.560 black leader
01:06:31.240 that the
01:06:33.040 black community
01:06:34.400 looks to as
01:06:35.260 a leader
01:06:35.640 sort of
01:06:36.260 in some
01:06:36.780 no you're
01:06:37.940 you're saying
01:06:38.320 stuff that
01:06:38.960 are clearly
01:06:39.380 just conservative
01:06:40.200 black people
01:06:40.960 right
01:06:42.020 Thomas Sowell
01:06:43.380 is awesome
01:06:44.240 in a lot
01:06:44.860 of ways
01:06:45.260 but he's
01:06:46.460 not a black
01:06:47.000 leader
01:06:47.300 he should
01:06:49.080 be
01:06:49.400 like in
01:06:50.580 my opinion
01:06:51.140 imagine how
01:06:52.800 well off
01:06:53.400 the black
01:06:54.500 world would
01:06:55.360 be
01:06:55.620 if they
01:06:56.620 looked at
01:06:57.340 Thomas Sowell
01:06:57.860 as their
01:06:58.380 guide
01:06:59.340 everything would
01:07:02.040 be fixed
01:07:02.560 honestly
01:07:03.680 Thomas Sowell
01:07:05.160 if he were
01:07:06.060 the leader
01:07:06.540 that they
01:07:07.080 decided to
01:07:07.980 rally around
01:07:08.580 you're one
01:07:10.400 generation away
01:07:11.320 from having
01:07:11.840 everything fixed
01:07:12.600 you couldn't
01:07:13.620 do it in
01:07:13.920 one generation
01:07:14.480 but you're
01:07:14.940 one generation
01:07:15.540 away
01:07:15.840 all right
01:07:19.000 I believe
01:07:22.480 we've done
01:07:22.900 everything we
01:07:23.320 need to do
01:07:23.740 and it's
01:07:24.120 an awesome
01:07:24.560 day
01:07:24.880 and how
01:07:26.440 about you
01:07:26.900 go forward
01:07:27.560 and just
01:07:28.820 have that
01:07:29.300 oh
01:07:30.380 Herschel
01:07:31.240 Walker
01:07:31.620 what are we
01:07:32.180 if you're
01:07:33.400 naming Herschel
01:07:33.940 Walker as
01:07:34.440 our national
01:07:35.140 leader
01:07:35.420 I don't
01:07:36.020 quite think
01:07:36.700 so
01:07:36.960 yeah
01:07:37.900 you know
01:07:38.480 there are
01:07:39.080 some famous
01:07:39.620 people like
01:07:40.180 Denzel and
01:07:41.280 Morgan Freeman
01:07:42.120 and stuff
01:07:42.780 but I don't
01:07:43.200 think anybody
01:07:43.800 Zuby
01:07:45.560 Zuby's not
01:07:47.740 American
01:07:48.160 I think
01:07:51.120 Zuby has
01:07:51.720 done such
01:07:52.320 a good
01:07:52.680 job
01:07:53.120 of
01:07:54.320 having a
01:07:56.300 popular
01:07:56.820 position
01:07:58.160 in the
01:07:58.500 world
01:07:58.660 people love
01:07:59.420 him so much
01:07:59.920 they forget
01:08:00.400 he's not
01:08:00.920 even American
01:08:01.480 I think
01:08:02.580 he could
01:08:03.260 get a lot
01:08:04.660 of votes
01:08:05.020 for president
01:08:05.600 of the
01:08:05.800 United States
01:08:06.360 but he's
01:08:07.520 not American
01:08:08.040 now
01:08:11.940 Zuby is
01:08:13.680 another great
01:08:15.060 example of
01:08:15.820 a talent
01:08:16.600 stack
01:08:17.140 situation
01:08:18.160 right
01:08:18.460 he's a
01:08:21.560 perfect
01:08:21.840 talent stack
01:08:22.520 example
01:08:22.980 there's just
01:08:23.840 a whole bunch
01:08:24.580 of things
01:08:25.120 that he does
01:08:25.940 really well
01:08:26.660 but if you're
01:08:27.840 trying to pick
01:08:28.220 the one thing
01:08:28.940 you say
01:08:29.400 I don't know
01:08:29.800 he just does
01:08:30.580 these whole bunch
01:08:31.240 of things
01:08:31.740 that work
01:08:32.740 together really
01:08:33.420 well
01:08:33.700 and then he
01:08:34.280 engineered them
01:08:35.620 to turn it
01:08:36.200 into something
01:08:36.700 awesome
01:08:37.040 yeah he's
01:08:39.360 impressive in
01:08:40.180 general
01:08:40.420 I would say
01:08:40.780 he's an
01:08:41.460 impressive
01:08:41.780 person
01:08:42.340 that would
01:08:43.040 be a true
01:08:43.380 statement
01:08:43.720 yeah Morgan
01:08:49.100 Freeman's
01:08:49.580 great but
01:08:50.100 he's not
01:08:50.600 really seen
01:08:51.080 as a
01:08:52.540 black leader
01:08:53.120 Lizzo
01:08:54.760 okay
01:08:55.240 Ice Cube
01:08:55.940 yeah you see
01:08:56.880 the problem

01:08:57.720 Wayne Brady

01:09:00.520 the problem
01:09:01.140 right
01:09:02.240 yeah Jason
01:09:03.960 Whitlock's
01:09:04.560 great

01:09:06.980 I can say
01:09:07.620 they're great
01:09:08.280 because you
01:09:09.580 know many
01:09:09.840 of them
01:09:10.100 are like
01:09:10.620 awesome
01:09:10.960 and whatever
01:09:11.340 they do
01:09:11.740 but they're
01:09:13.680 not recognized
01:09:14.240 as a leader
01:09:14.920 you know
01:09:15.320 not yay
01:09:15.880 not anybody
01:09:17.000 right
01:09:19.120 George Floyd
01:09:20.780 I'll bet
01:09:23.400 that's
01:09:23.820 in a weird
01:09:25.100 way that's
01:09:25.540 true
01:09:25.740 George Floyd
01:09:26.740 would be the
01:09:27.240 most recognizable
01:09:28.180 unifying character
01:09:30.160 which is
01:09:31.120 scary
01:09:32.620 alright
