00:00:00.000 And welcome to a highlight of human civilization.

00:00:03.880 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:05.760 There's never been a finer moment or a finer place or a finer time.

00:00:09.760 And we'll be doing the best live stream you've ever seen in your entire life pretty soon.

00:00:17.680 And how would you like to take it to another level, a higher dimension,

00:00:21.000 a range in which few people have ever experienced this kind of joy?

00:00:27.180 Well, all you need to do that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,

00:00:31.760 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:35.400 Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:39.160 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:42.060 It's the dopamine here of the day.

00:00:43.200 The thing that makes everything better.

00:00:44.540 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:48.160 It happens now.

00:00:49.600 Go.

00:00:49.820 I feel like I felt that in all of my extremities.

00:01:07.960 All of them.

00:01:09.540 I mean all of them.

00:01:11.880 Well, let's talk about the funny news first.

00:01:14.360 Andrew Tate has converted to Islam.

00:01:22.700 Now, I didn't think that was true.

00:01:28.600 And I had to actually research it.

00:01:32.060 It's actually true.

00:01:35.360 No, it's true.

00:01:36.620 He actually did.

00:01:37.280 And there's a video of him prior to converting.

00:01:46.140 There's a video of him going around saying that ISIS was the only true Islam

00:01:52.080 because they meant what they said. 0.56

00:01:54.780 They would actually kill you if you didn't take the religion seriously. 0.88

00:01:59.340 So he's on record saying the real Islam is ISIS.

00:02:03.280 Now, to be fair, I'm pretty sure that opinion came before the decision to actually convert.

00:02:14.480 I feel as if he may have modified his opinion since then.

00:02:19.060 But is it my imagination?

00:02:22.580 Let me just ask you this.

00:02:24.420 Is it my imagination that there are some characters who when they burst on the scene,

00:02:29.240 you can say on day one that this is, that it's going to end up on the rocks?

00:02:36.200 Like, yeah, yeah, that...

00:02:39.240 Do I?

00:02:43.000 That was a good trick.

00:02:44.700 All right.

00:02:45.580 So you can look at some people and say,

00:02:47.580 I feel like this is not going to end well.

00:02:52.240 Now, who knows?

00:02:54.860 You know, who knows?

00:02:56.340 You know, maybe he'll make it work.

00:02:58.280 Who knows?

00:02:59.960 But since he's one of my mascots, I like to keep track of him.

00:03:09.120 There's not really much to say about that, is there?

00:03:12.480 Because now that he's in, he can't really leave.

00:03:15.340 Because I think he get, you know,

00:03:17.240 you get a little pressure on you if you try to leave Islam.

00:03:19.580 So he's in there.

00:03:20.480 Now, at the same time, he's also building some kind of a, I don't know, men's organization movement.

00:03:29.020 And some people call it a pyramid scheme.

00:03:32.600 I don't know.

00:03:33.580 I haven't looked into it.

00:03:35.180 But I have a feeling that that's going to hurt recruitment.

00:03:38.480 It might hurt recruitment.

00:03:41.720 All right.

00:03:43.440 Well, I'm seeing in the popular press that conservative people have been making jokes about Paul Pelosi.

00:03:49.800 And let me tell you, there's, the popular press says, there's nothing funny about the Paul Pelosi situation.

00:03:59.140 There's nothing funny about that.

00:04:00.560 So, uh, do you agree with that?

00:04:08.940 All right.

00:04:09.660 Here is an edge case for the golden rule.

00:04:14.620 All right.

00:04:15.340 Now, I try to live by the golden rule.

00:04:18.120 Not entirely, because sometimes you have to modify it a little bit for people being different.

00:04:23.200 But my golden rule says I wouldn't laugh at somebody else unless I would be comfortable, if the situation were reversed, that they would be laughing at me.

00:04:36.900 And in the Paul Pelosi situation, of course, it's a tragedy.

00:04:41.220 And first, we think of the human element, right?

00:04:43.600 First, we're happy that he's going to fully recover, as far as we know.

00:04:47.780 And it's horrible.

00:04:48.900 He had to go through with it.

00:04:49.780 And by the way, I don't think there's any such thing as fully recovered.

00:04:52.920 Do you?

00:04:53.200 If you're 82 and you get a fractured skull from a home invasion, you don't fully recover.

00:05:01.140 You don't.

00:05:01.920 That's not a thing.

00:05:02.700 He's, whatever the mental PTSD part of that is, you know, good luck getting rid of that.

00:05:10.480 So, I'm not sure full recovery is even a real thing, except in some, you know, strict medical sense.

00:05:17.680 So, we, of course, care about the person.

00:05:19.780 However, having said that, if I were to put myself in this situation, and let me commit to this, I'm going to commit to this publicly.

00:05:30.340 Should I ever be attacked by somebody with a hammer, and both the attacker and I are wearing underpants at the time of the attack, and there's no one else in my home?

00:05:45.120 I give you full permission and authority to have fun with that.

00:05:51.500 I would want you to enjoy that.

00:05:53.340 Why?

00:05:54.340 Because I love you.

00:05:56.240 I love you.

00:05:57.380 Do you think I'm going to give you a gift like that and tell you not to open it?

00:06:01.320 No.

00:06:01.680 No.

00:06:02.960 If somebody gives you a gift like that, a hammer attack in your underpants, if you get a gift like that, you get to open it.

00:06:12.680 I would never deny you that laugh.

00:06:14.660 So, let me say, if anything like that ever happens to me, and let's be honest, if you were going to guess a second person who might die or be attacked by a hammer attack, and is also in his underwear as well as the attacker, if you tried to guess, gosh, that seems really unlikely that that would happen twice.

00:06:37.640 But if it did, who would you guess would be a likely candidate for the second person that would happen to?

00:06:44.460 Well, probably me.

00:06:45.880 Probably me.

00:06:47.900 I don't know.

00:06:48.940 Probably me.

00:06:50.040 Just thinking.

00:06:51.840 And so I tell you in advance, if anything bad happens to me that is also funny, you get my permission.

00:07:01.440 Have fun with it.

00:07:03.300 Please, have fun with it.

00:07:04.820 Now, I do think it's going a little too far, you know, with the allegations of the gay sex and stuff, which I don't think has any backing whatsoever, in my opinion.

00:07:16.660 But that's a different matter.

00:07:18.420 But have fun with it.

00:07:19.880 I think that we should be allowed to have fun with funny things.

00:07:23.960 And I can't help it.

00:07:25.640 If it's funny, if it's funny, it's funny.

00:07:28.320 It's not my, I don't make the rules.

00:07:29.900 All right, Tim Ryan, who is a politician running for governor, Senate, against, he's running against J.D. Vance for Ohio.

00:07:50.820 Exactly.

00:07:53.340 Have I revealed just how much I follow state politics in other states?

00:07:59.040 I feel I have.

00:08:00.740 I feel you know now.

00:08:02.160 What percentage of the American public could have answered that question?

00:08:06.960 How many people could have told you the two candidates running for Senate in Ohio?

00:08:12.760 You say 25%?

00:08:14.140 No way.

00:08:14.580 I'll bet it's 3% to 5%, maybe?

00:08:20.740 3% to 5%.

00:08:21.640 But most of you, if you're watching this live stream, you're probably in the top 5% of people who pay attention to politics.

00:08:29.600 Yeah.

00:08:30.200 Anyway, so what's interesting about it is there was a Fox News town hall,

00:08:34.820 and Tim Ryan was talking about January 6th and said that a police officer was killed on January 6th,

00:08:44.980 a Capitol Police officer, which every one of us knows is not true.

00:08:49.700 Would you agree?

00:08:51.060 100% of the people on this live stream know that that didn't happen, right?

00:08:56.160 100% of you.

00:08:57.060 I'll bet there's not one person who doesn't know that's a lie.

00:09:01.600 But do you think Tim Ryan knew?

00:09:03.180 What do you think?

00:09:05.640 Do you think he knew that that was a lie?

00:09:09.200 I actually think he didn't.

00:09:12.560 I actually think he didn't.

00:09:15.500 And the only reason I think that is because it was an unnecessary thing to say.

00:09:20.600 And here's what happened.

00:09:21.980 He said that in front of a live Fox News audience.

00:09:26.300 How do you think that went?

00:09:27.500 If you didn't see it, how do you think it went when in front of a live Fox News audience,

00:09:33.400 he claimed that a Capitol Police officer was killed on January 6th?

00:09:37.480 The audience went nuts.

00:09:40.720 They basically just, you know, they just went nuts.

00:09:44.680 Now, he pretended like he was just being heckled.

00:09:47.780 And, you know, it was just generic heckling.

00:09:49.380 But that wasn't generic heckling.

00:09:52.860 That was the case.

00:09:54.440 Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:09:56.160 But do you think that he knew?

00:09:59.960 Give me your answers.

00:10:01.020 Do you think he knew that he was lying or that it was a lie?

00:10:04.320 Do you think he knew it was wrong?

00:10:05.680 Well, some of you say yes, and I applaud your skepticism.

00:10:13.600 And I don't know that you're wrong.

00:10:16.080 But I'll tell you, he looked like he believed it.

00:10:19.200 In my opinion, which isn't worth much in this particular case.

00:10:24.020 But my read of the man is he wouldn't have said it in that crowd.

00:10:28.200 He wouldn't have said it there if he knew it was untrue.

00:10:32.020 Because it was a live crowd.

00:10:33.820 That would have been an obvious mistake.

00:10:35.360 And he could have ignored that one detail.

00:10:38.220 His point didn't require it.

00:10:40.900 So I feel like he actually thought it was true.

00:10:44.820 Now, how many times have you seen an entire audience

00:10:50.440 being better informed than the politician that they came to see?

00:10:54.520 When was the last time that ever happened?

00:10:58.840 Probably every time a Democrat is in front of a Fox News audience.

00:11:04.380 All the time.

00:11:05.360 Now, you don't have that situation a lot.

00:11:07.860 But about 100% of the politicians who come before a Fox News live audience

00:11:13.400 know less about what's happening in the country than the audience.

00:11:18.420 And I mean that.

00:11:19.420 I mean that literally.

00:11:20.720 And I mean that with confidence.

00:11:22.780 Because when you see that even a major politician doesn't know what the news is,

00:11:27.700 it's because they follow a certain set of news that doesn't tell them the news.

00:11:31.580 How would they know the news?

00:11:32.840 If you don't read the news, you don't know the news, right?

00:11:35.880 It doesn't come to you.

00:11:37.780 I mean most of the time.

00:11:38.780 So, there's something like some kind of a sign of the times or like an indicator or a canary in the coal mine.

00:11:48.880 There's something about the fact that the entire audience knew more than the Senate candidate that feels important.

00:11:56.200 Doesn't it?

00:11:56.700 Is it just me?

00:11:58.460 Like that feels like a sign of something.

00:12:02.780 Right?

00:12:03.480 This should be the point where everybody realizes, wait a minute.

00:12:06.760 Are you telling me that the information bubble is so bad that you could run for Senate

00:12:12.420 and not know a basic fact about the most important story for the last year?

00:12:16.920 I mean January 6th was treated as the most important story.

00:12:20.140 And one of the most basic facts about it, he didn't know.

00:12:24.140 That's incredible.

00:12:25.860 All right?

00:12:26.200 That's really telling us something.

00:12:28.480 Like however you think something's gone too far,

00:12:31.580 it's one thing when the public is confused.

00:12:35.160 But when the politicians themselves don't know what's true,

00:12:39.020 you've got a whole other problem.

00:12:41.120 That's where we're at.

00:12:42.420 That's where we're at.

00:12:46.260 Here's just an update, a persuasion update, something I've said before.

00:12:51.340 So it's not a new thought,

00:12:52.840 but whenever I think of a new persuasive way to frame things,

00:12:56.740 I like to share it with you just to teach you the persuasion part of it.

00:13:00.520 All right?

00:13:01.220 Now, in my opinion, there are two types of racism.

00:13:05.820 The old-timey racism where somebody would say,

00:13:09.060 my people are better than your people. 0.58

00:13:11.000 I'll call that the old-timey Ku Klux Klan kind of direct racism.

00:13:16.220 And then there's the systemic racism where it's sort of embedded in the system.

00:13:19.820 I think the teachers' unions being the top example of that.

00:13:24.320 All right?

00:13:24.480 You could argue what is and what is not in there,

00:13:27.040 but you probably would not argue that whatever is or is not in the systemic part

00:13:31.980 is different from the part that was just in people's minds and souls and hearts.

00:13:36.460 Now, I think there's very little of the old-timey racism left,

00:13:43.480 meaning I don't know if I ever see it.

00:13:47.320 Like, I live in Northern California, so maybe it's real different here.

00:13:50.860 Other people have said they live in the South, and they say,

00:13:53.600 oh, yeah, oh, yeah, there's like the old kind is there.

00:13:57.140 Like, there are definitely people just saying,

00:13:58.960 all of my people are better than all of your people. 0.98

00:14:00.780 That's a real thing.

00:14:02.200 I don't think I've seen it almost ever as an adult.

00:14:07.700 It's very rare.

00:14:09.360 And believe me, people would tell me, right?

00:14:12.020 People would tell me.

00:14:15.180 If you're alone in a room with me, you know you can say anything.

00:14:19.600 People know they can say anything to me alone in a room.

00:14:22.680 So I would know what they were really thinking.

00:14:25.160 Nobody would hold back.

00:14:27.100 But here's my new framing.

00:14:28.320 This is just about the old-timey racism, not about the systemic stuff.

00:14:35.980 It's stolen valor.

00:14:38.640 Stolen valor.

00:14:40.480 If you think you're awesome because you're white, 1.00

00:14:43.660 you're kind of saying you're awesome because Ben Franklin invented something.

00:14:47.940 All right, I'm simplifying.

00:14:49.420 Just say there are other people who did awesome stuff.

00:14:52.680 I'm not Ben Franklin.

00:14:54.140 I don't get any credit for Ben Franklin inventing a light bulb or whatever.

00:14:59.520 No, I'm sorry.

00:15:00.120 Not Ben Franklin.

00:15:01.560 But, you know, I don't get credit for anything any white person did.

00:15:06.820 Do I?

00:15:07.940 And if I took credit for that, it would be stolen valor.

00:15:11.340 You know, the term we use for people who claim military service but were not actually in the military.

00:15:16.740 It's stolen valor.

00:15:17.760 And I think that stolen valor is strong enough that what's left of that old-timey racism,

00:15:26.260 maybe that's enough to stamp it out.

00:15:29.340 Because if you said to, you know, if you could actually get one of these old-timey racists in a room

00:15:34.720 and you said, you know, that's kind of stolen valor,

00:15:37.920 you're kind of taking credit for other people's accomplishments there.

00:15:40.860 Like, what have you done?

00:15:41.600 Do black people get credit because Michael Jordan is really good at basketball or was?

00:15:48.080 No.

00:15:48.820 No, because they're not him.

00:15:50.540 Right?

00:15:50.780 They can't do what he did.

00:15:52.660 So they don't get credit.

00:15:55.180 Anyway.

00:15:57.460 Then I thought, suppose you were going to deal with the systemic racism.

00:16:01.380 And let's say you wanted to do something that was practical and doable and both sides could agree on.

00:16:11.860 Here's how I'd do it.

00:16:13.780 I'd say, Democrats, make a list, a ranked list, of where you think systemic racism is the worst

00:16:21.920 so we know what to focus on first.

00:16:25.160 And then the Republicans would make their own list of systemic racism problems.

00:16:29.980 Now, the Republican list would have at the top teachers' unions.

00:16:36.540 The teachers' unions prevent competition in schools.

00:16:40.200 Lack of competition in schools keeps black students at the bottom 1.00

00:16:44.960 because they're already in bad schools overall, you know, in general, 0.83

00:16:50.360 and nothing's changing that.

00:16:53.340 So that's what would be at the top of the Republican list.

00:16:56.660 What would be at the top of the Democrat list?

00:16:58.600 What would it be?

00:17:01.760 What would be at the top of the Democrat list?

00:17:04.420 No, for a system that needs to be changed.

00:17:07.160 Because we're talking about systemic racism.

00:17:09.240 Not talking about people.

00:17:10.620 Don't talk about Trump.

00:17:11.740 We're not talking about people.

00:17:13.380 No people.

00:17:14.840 I think they'd put education at the top.

00:17:17.540 Am I wrong?

00:17:18.140 So, what would happen to prisons?

00:17:22.620 Interesting.

00:17:23.580 You know, prisons would be near the top two, but guess what?

00:17:26.980 If you put prisons and education at the top of things that need to be fixed,

00:17:35.060 and even maybe police,

00:17:36.680 you could get Republicans and Democrats to largely agree.

00:17:39.640 Think about it.

00:17:43.840 Suppose your lists were largely different.

00:17:47.300 Let's say three out of five of the things on your list of the top five things you'd work on were different.

00:17:53.600 But I'll bet the top two were the same.

00:17:55.300 Or at least there's top two you could work on.

00:17:59.220 So, if the left and the right wanted to work on things productively,

00:18:03.580 which, by the way, I don't think that's the case.

00:18:06.680 But if they wanted to, the way you would do it is say,

00:18:09.760 make your top five list.

00:18:11.340 Compare it to our top five list and say,

00:18:13.040 oh, wow.

00:18:14.020 Even though the lists are different three out of five,

00:18:17.400 we both have the same two on there.

00:18:18.940 We both have prisons and, you know, let's say the justice system and education.

00:18:25.520 Work on those.

00:18:26.960 Work on those.

00:18:27.720 You've got something to agree on.

00:18:29.740 So, today's overall theme is that the golden age may not be upon us,

00:18:36.920 but it is accessible, meaning it's within reach.

00:18:41.960 We just got to see it.

00:18:44.160 Just got to see it and grab it.

00:18:46.700 There's going to be some more stories on that.

00:18:48.940 I've told you about the Adams Law of Slow-Moving Disasters,

00:18:52.760 which I developed decades ago and so far keeps working.

00:18:57.960 And the law goes like this.

00:19:00.000 If humans can see a disaster coming from far away,

00:19:04.760 we always find a way to survive it and make it no problem.

00:19:10.460 It's only the sudden problems, like the pandemic.

00:19:14.320 The pandemic is just, whoa, whoa, sudden problem.

00:19:16.500 Now, arguably, Bill Gates warned us years in advance that we should have been ready for it,

00:19:21.200 but you can't be ready for a specific virus.

00:19:23.660 It's hard to be ready for a specific one.

00:19:26.280 So, those are the ones that are really dangerous.

00:19:28.600 But how are we doing on the ones we could see coming for a while?

00:19:33.820 Number one would be climate change.

00:19:36.120 You might agree or disagree the extent of the problem,

00:19:39.260 but would you agree that nuclear energy is now favored by almost everybody who matters?

00:19:46.420 And that, largely, that's going to be part of the solution.

00:19:51.320 Would you agree?

00:19:52.840 I told you a story.

00:19:53.820 Well, you don't have to agree with this.

00:19:55.220 I told you a story that one of the biggest problems with solar panels

00:19:58.920 is the recycling of the old ones.

00:20:01.560 And there's an entity which has figured out how to recycle 98% of it,

00:20:08.420 which would be a huge solution.

00:20:11.340 Likewise, on batteries, battery storage, there are these huge developments,

00:20:17.060 and some of them don't require rare earth minerals.

00:20:20.260 So, there are battery designs that don't require rare anything.

00:20:23.960 Now, of course, Elon Musk has noted that those rare minerals exist basically everywhere.

00:20:30.600 So, they're the least rare thing that they are,

00:20:33.100 but we call them rare because they're hard to mine.

00:20:36.580 But they exist everywhere.

00:20:38.940 So, would you say that the Adams Law of slow-moving disasters

00:20:43.260 is going to take care of climate change

00:20:45.700 if you assume that that's the problem that we've been told it is?

00:20:49.660 And I say yes.

00:20:50.720 I say that everything we're doing from developing CO2 scrubbers

00:20:56.340 to developing every kind of alternative power,

00:21:00.720 it does look like we're in good shape.

00:21:03.280 Now, will the temperature go up? Yes.

00:21:05.540 Will it? I mean, who knows why?

00:21:08.420 I mean, you could argue that some is natural, some is not.

00:21:11.260 But yeah, it'll probably go up.

00:21:12.740 Will it wipe out humanity? Probably not.

00:21:15.780 Probably will survive better every year than the year before.

00:21:21.720 Now, the pandemic set us back a little bit.

00:21:23.840 But generally, the lifespan of humans and our ability to survive

00:21:26.900 just gets better every year, no matter what else is going on.

00:21:31.100 All right.

00:21:31.640 So, climate, I think, is okay.

00:21:33.520 We were running out of fertilizer,

00:21:35.020 but now there's some stories.

00:21:36.680 At least one big fertilizer maker

00:21:38.700 is ramping up their fertilizer production

00:21:41.780 because the price of gas has come down enough to make that worthwhile.

00:21:46.240 So, I'm still worried about fertilizer.

00:21:49.200 That's the one that's so unsexy.

00:21:51.840 We don't talk about it at all.

00:21:53.900 But it's really, really, really, really a big problem.

00:21:58.600 Like, it's as big of a problem

00:22:00.520 as you could possibly imagine in the human existence.

00:22:04.840 But I also think we'll solve it.

00:22:07.480 I think the right people are working on it.

00:22:11.620 Because it seems to me that if you knew your yield was going to go down,

00:22:16.460 correct me if I'm wrong,

00:22:17.580 are there not plenty of fields that could be planted

00:22:21.300 that you wouldn't normally plant?

00:22:24.060 That's true, right?

00:22:25.820 Even in America, I don't know about other countries,

00:22:27.900 but in America, don't we have fields that we don't plant that we could, right?

00:22:34.240 So, we could kind of ramp up.

00:22:35.900 Let's say two or three years,

00:22:38.540 couldn't we ramp up quite a bit

00:22:40.000 even if the yield went down per acre?

00:22:45.480 I don't know.

00:22:46.700 But I think we could.

00:22:48.540 How about the supply chain?

00:22:50.200 When was the last time somebody complained

00:22:52.140 about the collapsing supply chain?

00:22:54.820 Is it fixed?

00:22:56.120 I can't remember the last time I had a problem

00:22:59.540 because of the supply chain.

00:23:01.800 It feels like it's sort of...

00:23:04.180 It's not fixed.

00:23:05.780 Right, I understand it's not fixed.

00:23:07.320 But when was the last time it made a difference?

00:23:11.640 Somebody says diesel is close to collapse.

00:23:14.780 Diesel fuel is running low.

00:23:17.540 Now, that could be an example of something that snuck up on us.

00:23:21.340 I haven't even heard of that until then.

00:23:23.980 Baby formula, cars are expensive.

00:23:25.900 But the system stretched, didn't it?

00:23:30.340 The system didn't collapse.

00:23:33.280 It just adjusted in a million ways.

00:23:37.400 What about food shortages?

00:23:39.800 Today we learned that Russia is back on board 1.00

00:23:42.020 with shipping grain out of Ukraine,

00:23:45.320 which should help a great deal.

00:23:47.440 Well, I think we're probably going to make it

00:23:50.140 through the year or two

00:23:51.320 without starving in a mass way.

00:23:54.820 And I also think that Europe's energy shortages,

00:23:58.080 they'll find a way.

00:24:00.060 Apparently, Germany already has enough stockpiled gas

00:24:02.820 to get through the winter.

00:24:03.540 So, it looks like all of our long-term obvious problems

00:24:09.920 are heading more toward a solution than not.

00:24:14.820 Now, fentanyl, fentanyl is still an out-of-control problem.

00:24:23.280 But, what would it take for everything to change with fentanyl?

00:24:27.840 What would it take?

00:24:35.220 Well, probably...

00:24:37.840 Now, somebody told me that there's a popular video game

00:24:41.620 that just came out

00:24:42.560 that features American forces

00:24:45.200 attacking the cartels directly in Mexico.

00:24:47.520 Can you confirm that?

00:24:49.220 What's the name of the game?

00:24:51.740 I'm sure somebody knows it.

00:24:53.860 Is it Destiny 2?

00:24:58.960 What's it called?

00:24:59.700 Is it Call of Duty?

00:25:01.280 Or Modern Warfare?

00:25:04.180 I don't know which one it is.

00:25:05.380 I don't do gaming.

00:25:07.560 There are more people saying Modern Warfare 2

00:25:10.320 than other things, it looks like.

00:25:12.020 No, it's Destiny 2.

00:25:13.520 All right, well, there's a...

00:25:14.520 We have a disagreement.

00:25:15.960 There's slightly more people saying...

00:25:20.120 I don't know.

00:25:21.520 I'm getting five different answers here.

00:25:23.340 Anyway, you can find it pretty easily with a Google search.

00:25:25.880 But my point is this.

00:25:28.020 When a video game features America attacking the cartels,

00:25:31.880 what do we know?

00:25:33.580 What's that tell you?

00:25:35.320 What's it tell you

00:25:36.280 when there could be a video game attacking Mexico?

00:25:42.720 I'll tell you what it tells you.

00:25:45.960 There's one thing I might be telling you

00:25:48.580 that I don't know.

00:25:50.060 Do you remember in the bad old days,

00:25:51.620 it's now confirmed,

00:25:53.440 that the intelligence agencies of the U.S.

00:25:56.380 and the government

00:25:57.300 was definitely influencing movies

00:26:00.960 to make them propaganda,

00:26:03.800 to make people more patriotic

00:26:06.080 and join the military and all that.

00:26:07.640 So, you would agree that in the past,

00:26:11.240 movies and TV were used by the government

00:26:14.700 to do propaganda on the public.

00:26:19.180 Agreed?

00:26:20.120 That's a fact that nobody doubts.

00:26:23.980 There's nobody who's questioning that.

00:26:25.640 That's within the record.

00:26:27.320 Okay?

00:26:28.200 Now, if the government were trying to influence

00:26:31.340 modern kids,

00:26:35.100 how would they do it?

00:26:35.920 Well, they might try to do it on social media,

00:26:40.040 but the trouble is,

00:26:40.740 the social media companies,

00:26:42.480 that's a little bit more of a Wild West

00:26:44.540 and there's not much they can do with TikTok

00:26:46.640 and, you know, there's a limit

00:26:48.540 to what you can do,

00:26:50.120 but I'm sure they would try social media.

00:26:52.160 Yeah, they would use education, for example,

00:26:54.040 but I think they would use video games.

00:26:57.040 I think they would have to influence

00:26:58.720 the video game industry.

00:27:00.740 Now, I'm not claiming this happened,

00:27:02.480 but is it a coincidence

00:27:04.600 that we're getting close to having a decision,

00:27:08.540 a national decision about attacking Mexico,

00:27:11.040 the cartels?

00:27:12.240 We're getting close to having to make that decision

00:27:14.420 and then suddenly a popular game pops up

00:27:17.220 in which they treat it as a matter of fact.

00:27:20.800 By matter of fact,

00:27:21.720 I mean they normalized attacking Mexico. 0.72

00:27:24.520 Is it a coincidence

00:27:26.320 that a popular American video game

00:27:29.140 just normalized attacking Mexico?

00:27:32.740 You think that's a coincidence?

00:27:34.480 It could be.

00:27:36.140 Right?

00:27:36.600 It totally could be.

00:27:39.520 I'm just saying that

00:27:40.840 if American history

00:27:42.660 is telling us what's happening now,

00:27:45.960 and I'm not sure it is,

00:27:47.400 right?

00:27:47.740 I don't think that history repeats

00:27:49.220 the way historians want to tell us it does.

00:27:51.520 I just don't think it does.

00:27:52.660 But this is where you would look

00:27:55.460 if you expected some bad behavior

00:27:57.980 by your government

00:27:58.900 to do propaganda on its own citizens.

00:28:02.540 Where would you look first?

00:28:04.680 Video games.

00:28:06.040 That should be the first place you look, right?

00:28:08.600 Am I wrong?

00:28:09.380 Because video games are so absorbing,

00:28:12.060 I would imagine,

00:28:13.580 everything I know about persuasion tells me,

00:28:16.260 that they would be more influential

00:28:17.720 than other types of media

00:28:19.160 because you don't get immersed.

00:28:21.580 You know, TikTok's super influential.

00:28:26.200 Anyway.

00:28:30.900 Benjamin Netanyahu

00:28:32.180 is apparently heading for

00:28:34.440 likely victory in Israel,

00:28:36.220 so he would take the top job again.

00:28:39.800 Does that feel like

00:28:41.500 foreshadowing?

00:28:44.320 Does anybody see the return of Netanyahu

00:28:47.940 as feeling like,

00:28:50.580 it's going to be 2016 all over again?

00:28:55.500 If Netanyahu gets back in office,

00:28:58.460 is there any chance Trump won't as well?

00:29:00.980 I feel like Israel's maybe having the same experience

00:29:07.780 that America had.

00:29:09.720 And it goes like this.

00:29:12.160 We hate that leader. 0.99

00:29:14.020 That leader is so obnoxious. 0.99

00:29:16.160 That leader is so provocative. 1.00

00:29:18.380 Ah, we hate that leader.

00:29:20.020 Ah, good, we got rid of that leader.

00:29:22.080 We sure hated that leader.

00:29:23.280 And then you realize that

00:29:25.000 the stuff the leader did

00:29:26.720 was the kind of stuff you liked.

00:29:30.320 It's just you didn't like the leader.

00:29:32.800 You know, there was a personality problem

00:29:34.560 or something.

00:29:35.600 Or the news,

00:29:37.240 it framed them in a way that was terrible.

00:29:39.400 But I feel like

00:29:40.100 Trump and Netanyahu

00:29:41.740 have that same thing.

00:29:42.860 Remember when Trump left office,

00:29:44.620 I told you,

00:29:45.840 Trump would be more popular

00:29:47.220 every day he was gone.

00:29:48.800 Because once his personality

00:29:51.360 like fades into your mind,

00:29:53.220 then you just get to see what he did.

00:29:55.460 And what he did was strong.

00:29:57.840 Very strong, in my opinion.

00:30:00.880 Yeah.

00:30:01.840 So, I don't know,

00:30:03.160 it feels like a return

00:30:04.400 return to something.

00:30:12.240 So, Greta Thunberg,

00:30:14.600 Michael Schellenberger had a tweet thread.

00:30:16.520 Apparently, Greta Thunberg

00:30:18.480 is not happy

00:30:20.220 with almost destroying the planet

00:30:21.940 with her climate change activism.

00:30:25.220 But now she'd like to get rid

00:30:27.500 of the whole capitalist system.

00:30:30.020 In her words,

00:30:31.180 quote,

00:30:31.500 the whole capitalist system.

00:30:33.580 Which she says is responsible

00:30:35.040 for the, quote,

00:30:36.380 imperialism, oppression, genocide,

00:30:38.360 racist, oppressive, 0.75

00:30:39.980 extractism,

00:30:41.760 extractionism.

00:30:42.940 I guess that's

00:30:43.980 mining other countries

00:30:45.280 would be the extractionism,

00:30:46.920 I'm guessing.

00:30:48.420 And, what do you think?

00:30:50.020 Is she correct

00:30:50.980 that the capitalist system

00:30:52.500 is responsible

00:30:53.100 for imperialism,

00:30:54.960 oppression, genocide,

00:30:56.020 racist, oppressiveism?

00:30:57.140 I'd say yes.

00:30:59.160 I'd say yes.

00:31:02.000 Yeah.

00:31:04.120 Now,

00:31:04.840 I love my capitalist system.

00:31:07.980 So, let me be clear.

00:31:09.220 I'm pro-capitalist.

00:31:10.660 But, if you say,

00:31:12.340 does it also create

00:31:13.480 the opportunity

00:31:14.080 for these other things,

00:31:16.020 imperialism,

00:31:16.760 oppression,

00:31:17.260 genocide,

00:31:17.920 racism?

00:31:18.920 Yeah.

00:31:19.680 Yeah.

00:31:20.580 Yeah.

00:31:21.260 Do you know what else

00:31:22.180 creates the situation

00:31:23.240 for those things?

00:31:25.400 Everything else.

00:31:27.740 Right.

00:31:28.460 Everything else.

00:31:30.040 Because, you know why?

00:31:31.880 Imperialism,

00:31:32.560 oppression,

00:31:33.040 genocide,

00:31:33.600 racism,

00:31:34.540 and oppressive extractionism,

00:31:36.060 those are qualities

00:31:37.280 of humans.

00:31:39.220 That's not quality

00:31:40.160 of a system.

00:31:41.440 You could put

00:31:42.040 any human

00:31:42.620 in any system

00:31:43.380 and they still

00:31:43.860 want to do

00:31:44.200 all this stuff.

00:31:45.260 And, they'd still

00:31:46.020 be able to do it.

00:31:47.320 It would look different.

00:31:48.840 But, it's still

00:31:49.320 all this stuff.

00:31:51.040 So, Greta,

00:31:52.740 probably the most

00:31:55.040 destructive person 0.80

00:31:56.080 since Hitler. 0.93

00:31:58.100 Would that be fair

00:31:59.020 to say?

00:31:59.760 Is Greta Thunberg

00:32:00.760 the most destructive

00:32:01.980 global personality

00:32:04.240 since Hitler? 0.92

00:32:04.940 I'm not comparing

00:32:06.100 her to Hitler

00:32:06.580 because I have

00:32:08.240 a rule against that

00:32:09.280 because, you know,

00:32:10.960 nothing's compared

00:32:11.600 to Hitler. 0.68

00:32:12.280 But, I would say

00:32:12.780 second.

00:32:14.000 Second place.

00:32:16.660 Pol Pot only 1.00

00:32:17.440 had six million.

00:32:18.400 I think Greta

00:32:18.820 will have a bigger,

00:32:21.100 there's a good chance

00:32:21.800 Greta's body count

00:32:23.860 will be bigger.

00:32:25.000 Bigger than Stalin?

00:32:26.240 Hmm.

00:32:27.760 Yeah, Stalin

00:32:28.580 and Mao.

00:32:30.720 Okay, Stalin

00:32:31.400 and Mao

00:32:31.780 had tens of millions.

00:32:33.280 Do you think

00:32:33.700 Greta will get 0.73

00:32:34.340 over tens of millions?

00:32:38.120 I think so.

00:32:40.120 I mean, she could.

00:32:42.180 You know,

00:32:42.400 we hope that

00:32:43.160 we have time

00:32:43.660 to correct.

00:32:44.380 But, in terms

00:32:45.540 of her impact,

00:32:47.760 it does have

00:32:48.380 the potential

00:32:49.820 to kill

00:32:50.220 a hundred million people. 1.00

00:32:51.860 Would you agree

00:32:52.380 with that?

00:32:53.180 I'm not predicting

00:32:53.980 it will.

00:32:55.000 I think we'll adjust

00:32:56.020 because the Adams

00:32:56.740 law of slow-moving

00:32:58.280 disasters, etc.

00:32:59.200 But, she's a risky 1.00

00:33:00.980 personality.

00:33:02.580 She's a pretty 0.58

00:33:03.300 risky personality.

00:33:04.900 Alright, here's

00:33:05.680 the scary story.

00:33:07.620 Do you know

00:33:08.100 the online

00:33:08.880 betting app

00:33:10.900 Predict It?

00:33:12.320 I used it

00:33:13.320 when I bet

00:33:13.960 on Trump

00:33:14.440 for 2016.

00:33:16.120 And,

00:33:16.620 apparently,

00:33:18.200 the Commodities

00:33:20.480 Futures Trading

00:33:21.260 Commission

00:33:21.660 is moving

00:33:22.320 to shut it

00:33:22.920 down

00:33:23.300 for political

00:33:25.180 bets.

00:33:26.540 So, they could

00:33:27.060 make it illegal.

00:33:28.040 They'd like to.

00:33:29.120 Make it illegal

00:33:29.960 to, or like

00:33:31.820 they shut it down

00:33:32.520 so you can't

00:33:33.100 make political bets.

00:33:34.100 Now, do you know

00:33:35.440 what reason

00:33:35.820 they gave

00:33:36.800 for getting rid

00:33:37.980 of this

00:33:38.400 popular service

00:33:40.680 that people

00:33:41.180 seem to enjoy?

00:33:43.960 Well, obviously,

00:33:44.980 they gave a reason,

00:33:46.000 right?

00:33:47.420 So, there's

00:33:48.240 a good reason.

00:33:49.260 There's a good reason.

00:33:50.420 So, the reason

00:33:51.220 you'd want to

00:33:51.840 shut down

00:33:52.480 a

00:33:53.200 betting futures

00:33:55.380 market

00:33:55.720 that's working

00:33:56.440 perfectly

00:33:56.980 and bothering

00:33:57.540 nobody.

00:33:58.520 And, by the way,

00:33:59.780 the predictive

00:34:00.360 markets

00:34:00.940 do sometimes

00:34:02.440 a better job

00:34:03.460 of predicting

00:34:04.660 outcomes

00:34:05.180 than even

00:34:05.580 polls, right?

00:34:07.480 But, anyway,

00:34:07.960 the Commodities

00:34:09.060 Futures people 0.97

00:34:09.840 gave a good reason

00:34:10.800 for wanting

00:34:11.200 to shut them

00:34:11.840 down.

00:34:12.140 The reason

00:34:12.460 was,

00:34:13.720 a reason.

00:34:18.060 Oh, no reason.

00:34:19.160 No reason

00:34:19.620 given.

00:34:20.480 No reason

00:34:21.000 given.

00:34:23.200 No reason

00:34:24.000 given.

00:34:25.460 Huh.

00:34:27.100 I guess

00:34:27.740 we're left

00:34:28.120 to speculate.

00:34:29.660 What would

00:34:29.960 be a reason

00:34:30.920 for the

00:34:32.600 government

00:34:33.000 to want

00:34:33.520 to get

00:34:33.800 rid of

00:34:34.700 one of

00:34:35.720 the only

00:34:36.080 independent

00:34:36.620 ways you

00:34:37.160 could check

00:34:37.980 that the

00:34:39.220 polling and

00:34:39.820 the election

00:34:40.280 were not

00:34:40.860 rigged?

00:34:42.060 Why would

00:34:42.640 they want

00:34:42.880 to get rid

00:34:43.200 of that?

00:34:44.840 Huh.

00:34:45.560 I don't know.

00:34:45.860 I can't think

00:34:46.300 of a reason.

00:34:46.760 Can you?

00:34:48.160 Nothing

00:34:48.600 comes to me.

00:34:51.600 So,

00:34:52.180 here is

00:34:52.640 exactly the

00:34:53.300 kind of

00:34:53.640 situation

00:34:54.120 where I

00:34:54.960 say this.

00:34:56.780 If you

00:34:57.360 give me

00:34:57.700 a reason,

00:34:59.500 I like it,

00:35:00.460 I like it.

00:35:01.800 But I

00:35:02.140 would say

00:35:02.380 to myself,

00:35:02.940 well,

00:35:03.680 at least

00:35:04.120 I support

00:35:05.480 the system.

00:35:06.800 So,

00:35:07.120 the system

00:35:07.760 came up

00:35:08.220 with a

00:35:08.500 reason.

00:35:09.000 The system

00:35:09.460 is doing

00:35:09.820 what it's

00:35:10.240 doing.

00:35:10.940 If we

00:35:11.300 need to

00:35:11.600 change it

00:35:11.980 later,

00:35:12.280 we will.

00:35:12.780 But,

00:35:13.020 you know,

00:35:13.660 I don't

00:35:14.360 have to

00:35:14.640 get everything

00:35:15.080 I want.

00:35:16.160 Right?

00:35:16.460 I don't

00:35:17.160 support systems

00:35:18.120 that only

00:35:18.600 give me

00:35:19.080 what I

00:35:19.480 want.

00:35:20.400 I support

00:35:20.900 systems that

00:35:21.620 kind of

00:35:22.260 keep society

00:35:22.820 together.

00:35:23.860 Right?

00:35:24.140 Because that's

00:35:24.460 a bigger

00:35:24.760 goal.

00:35:27.940 But here's

00:35:28.700 the thing.

00:35:29.060 when your

00:35:30.380 system makes

00:35:31.400 a change

00:35:32.020 of this

00:35:32.640 magnitude

00:35:33.600 and doesn't

00:35:34.460 give a

00:35:34.780 reason,

00:35:35.520 you should

00:35:36.040 assume that

00:35:36.940 it's the

00:35:37.280 wrong reason.

00:35:38.880 Fair?

00:35:39.960 You should

00:35:40.600 assume that

00:35:41.800 the Commodities

00:35:42.460 Futures

00:35:42.960 Trading Commission

00:35:43.720 did not

00:35:44.640 simply forget

00:35:45.380 to tell you

00:35:45.960 the reason.

00:35:47.160 I don't

00:35:47.500 think they

00:35:47.840 just forgot

00:35:48.300 to tell you.

00:35:49.900 No.

00:35:50.540 These are 1.00

00:35:51.060 fucking 1.00

00:35:51.640 criminals. 1.00

00:35:53.940 So,

00:35:54.320 let me say

00:35:54.560 it again.

00:35:55.320 As far as I

00:35:55.980 can tell,

00:35:56.340 now this

00:35:56.760 would just

00:35:57.080 be based

00:35:57.500 on their

00:35:57.840 actions

00:35:58.300 that we

00:35:58.640 can see

00:35:58.960 publicly.

00:35:59.860 As far as

00:36:00.320 I can tell,

00:36:00.800 the Commodity

00:36:01.380 Futures

00:36:01.880 Trading Commission 1.00

00:36:02.580 are fucking 1.00

00:36:03.460 corrupt 1.00

00:36:03.960 criminals. 0.99

00:36:05.880 Now,

00:36:06.700 I can't

00:36:08.160 guarantee it,

00:36:09.680 so they

00:36:10.260 can't sue

00:36:10.660 me because

00:36:11.100 I'm not

00:36:11.460 saying I

00:36:12.100 know it

00:36:12.640 or I

00:36:12.940 have some

00:36:13.200 inside

00:36:13.660 information,

00:36:14.500 but that's

00:36:15.000 the signal

00:36:15.440 they've

00:36:15.720 given us.

00:36:17.320 And unless

00:36:17.700 they change

00:36:18.240 the signal,

00:36:18.860 you're welcome

00:36:19.440 to accept

00:36:20.280 the signal

00:36:20.800 that they

00:36:21.180 gave you.

00:36:22.500 If somebody

00:36:23.220 walks up to

00:36:23.800 you and

00:36:24.080 says,

00:36:24.700 I'm a

00:36:25.540 murderer, 0.93

00:36:26.340 and here's

00:36:27.220 my track

00:36:27.740 record,

00:36:28.220 here's my

00:36:28.600 record of

00:36:30.080 you're allowed

00:36:31.040 to believe

00:36:31.480 them.

00:36:32.660 If somebody

00:36:33.160 tells you

00:36:33.600 who they

00:36:33.920 are,

00:36:34.360 believe them

00:36:34.980 the first

00:36:35.340 time,

00:36:35.860 you know

00:36:36.120 that thing.

00:36:37.920 So I

00:36:38.800 think you're

00:36:39.220 allowed to

00:36:39.980 hate every

00:36:41.940 member of 0.87

00:36:42.680 the Commodities

00:36:43.360 Futures

00:36:43.800 Trading Commission

00:36:44.540 because they've

00:36:45.240 done a huge

00:36:46.080 disservice to

00:36:46.920 this country

00:36:47.440 simply by not

00:36:48.760 showing their

00:36:49.340 work.

00:36:50.080 Now let me

00:36:50.460 be clear,

00:36:51.940 I'm not

00:36:52.500 supporting

00:36:53.340 predicted.

00:36:53.900 I'm saying

00:36:55.920 that if you

00:36:56.440 make a change

00:36:57.120 this big,

00:36:57.700 you're the

00:36:57.960 government,

00:36:58.820 if you make

00:36:59.280 a change

00:36:59.700 this big

00:37:00.140 without a

00:37:00.620 reason,

00:37:01.940 we get to

00:37:02.720 assume it's

00:37:03.260 the worst

00:37:03.620 reason.

00:37:05.160 And there's

00:37:05.680 no wiggle

00:37:06.380 room on

00:37:06.820 that.

00:37:07.840 There's no

00:37:08.480 negotiating.

00:37:09.540 You don't

00:37:10.040 give us a

00:37:10.460 reason,

00:37:10.780 we assume

00:37:11.440 the worst

00:37:11.780 reason.

00:37:13.240 Do you

00:37:13.740 remember

00:37:14.020 years ago,

00:37:16.060 I got 0.99

00:37:16.480 shit for 0.99

00:37:17.280 saying that 1.00

00:37:19.560 Obama should

00:37:20.260 be impeached

00:37:21.980 because he

00:37:23.160 changed his

00:37:23.720 opinion on

00:37:24.340 going after

00:37:25.020 weed dispensaries

00:37:26.260 in California.

00:37:27.920 So after he

00:37:28.540 became president,

00:37:29.360 he changed

00:37:29.840 his campaign

00:37:31.520 promise of

00:37:32.140 not going

00:37:32.560 after them

00:37:33.000 and went

00:37:33.480 after them.

00:37:34.640 Now,

00:37:35.300 that alone

00:37:35.940 is not a

00:37:36.440 problem if

00:37:37.660 he had

00:37:37.920 reasons.

00:37:39.120 He didn't

00:37:39.880 give the

00:37:40.240 reason for

00:37:40.720 his change.

00:37:42.060 If you

00:37:42.660 don't give

00:37:43.080 the reason,

00:37:43.600 we have to

00:37:44.020 assume that

00:37:44.480 he was

00:37:44.840 bought off.

00:37:46.520 So I've

00:37:47.180 always assumed

00:37:47.720 that Obama 0.85

00:37:48.260 is a criminal 0.99

00:37:48.980 because he

00:37:50.380 told us he

00:37:50.920 was.

00:37:51.980 He told us

00:37:52.400 he was.

00:37:53.460 Now,

00:37:53.720 he could

00:37:53.920 change his

00:37:54.400 message,

00:37:55.120 and I would

00:37:55.500 listen to it,

00:37:56.040 and I would

00:37:56.340 consider it.

00:37:57.260 But the

00:37:57.680 message he

00:37:58.140 told us

00:37:58.520 directly is

00:38:00.160 that he's 0.98

00:38:00.600 corrupt. 0.95

00:38:02.760 And you 0.71

00:38:03.380 have to hear

00:38:03.780 this every

00:38:04.260 time a

00:38:04.660 politician

00:38:05.380 changes an

00:38:06.660 important

00:38:06.980 policy and

00:38:07.640 won't give

00:38:08.060 you a 0.57

00:38:08.340 reason.

00:38:09.260 If they

00:38:09.640 won't give

00:38:10.100 you a 0.57

00:38:10.340 reason,

00:38:10.620 they are 1.00

00:38:10.940 corrupt. 1.00

00:38:12.960 And that's 0.63

00:38:13.620 the best

00:38:13.980 case.

00:38:14.840 That's the

00:38:15.160 best case.

00:38:16.360 The worst

00:38:16.800 case is they're 1.00

00:38:17.440 so fucking 1.00

00:38:18.240 incompetent that 1.00

00:38:19.060 they don't 0.57

00:38:19.380 know that

00:38:19.720 giving you a

00:38:20.220 reason is part

00:38:20.800 of the

00:38:20.980 process.

00:38:21.980 If they

00:38:22.360 don't even

00:38:22.740 know they're

00:38:23.180 giving a

00:38:23.560 reason is

00:38:23.980 important,

00:38:24.680 that's even

00:38:25.740 worse.

00:38:26.460 I'd rather have a 0.98

00:38:27.220 corrupt, 0.98

00:38:27.720 competent person 1.00

00:38:28.420 in there.

00:38:28.740 At least you

00:38:29.040 know what's

00:38:29.360 going on.

00:38:31.140 So,

00:38:31.840 yes,

00:38:32.600 the Commodity

00:38:33.480 Futures

00:38:33.900 Trading

00:38:34.240 Commission,

00:38:34.840 every member

00:38:35.420 there is a 0.87

00:38:36.300 corrupt piece 1.00

00:38:36.900 of shit. 1.00

00:38:37.760 That's what they 1.00

00:38:38.460 told us.

00:38:40.400 That's not my

00:38:41.180 opinion.

00:38:42.140 That's what they

00:38:42.880 told us to

00:38:44.080 think of them.

00:38:44.700 And so I

00:38:45.780 accept it.

00:38:49.660 You have to

00:38:50.560 see a thread

00:38:52.180 by Doc

00:38:53.100 Anarchy.

00:38:54.500 That's the

00:38:55.500 name he goes

00:38:55.960 by on

00:38:56.680 Twitter,

00:38:57.660 Doc Anarchy.

00:38:59.820 He's also

00:39:00.500 got a

00:39:00.800 substack

00:39:01.300 in which

00:39:05.320 I need an

00:39:07.720 unauthorized

00:39:08.320 SIP.

00:39:08.540 unauthorized

00:39:10.140 SIP.

00:39:14.700 Much better.

00:39:18.600 All right,

00:39:19.240 so among

00:39:20.220 the things

00:39:20.700 that Doc

00:39:21.820 Anarchy 0.55

00:39:22.300 talks about

00:39:23.140 on this

00:39:23.440 thread are

00:39:24.180 the things,

00:39:24.820 a lot of

00:39:25.180 things that

00:39:25.520 you thought

00:39:25.940 were a

00:39:26.280 good science,

00:39:27.720 not so

00:39:28.120 much.

00:39:29.360 It turns out

00:39:30.200 that there

00:39:30.580 are a number

00:39:31.840 of things

00:39:32.240 that you

00:39:32.540 just thought

00:39:33.040 must have

00:39:33.520 been,

00:39:34.280 you just

00:39:34.720 assumed,

00:39:36.140 was long

00:39:37.060 settled

00:39:37.520 medical

00:39:38.060 science.

00:39:39.220 But then

00:39:39.560 you actually

00:39:39.900 look at

00:39:40.300 the science

00:39:40.760 and you're

00:39:41.060 like,

00:39:41.700 maybe not.

00:39:43.720 I'll only

00:39:44.220 talk about

00:39:44.640 one element

00:39:45.460 of the

00:39:45.780 threat,

00:39:46.240 but he

00:39:46.540 talks about

00:39:47.080 a number

00:39:47.360 of other

00:39:47.700 conditions,

00:39:48.520 et cetera.

00:39:50.500 And did

00:39:51.160 you know

00:39:51.660 that blood

00:39:52.800 pressure

00:39:53.180 medication

00:39:53.660 is highly

00:39:55.180 correlated

00:39:55.720 with lowering

00:39:57.320 your blood

00:39:57.740 pressure?

00:39:59.140 So the

00:39:59.560 first thing

00:39:59.980 that everybody

00:40:00.440 agrees on

00:40:01.080 is that the

00:40:01.680 pills do

00:40:02.400 lower your

00:40:02.860 blood pressure.

00:40:04.240 Second thing

00:40:05.060 everybody seems

00:40:05.740 to agree on,

00:40:06.580 no matter

00:40:06.920 what side

00:40:07.440 you're on,

00:40:08.060 that the

00:40:09.340 lowering of

00:40:10.220 your blood

00:40:10.540 pressure is

00:40:11.360 correlated very

00:40:12.480 strongly with

00:40:13.900 lowering of

00:40:14.620 strokes.

00:40:16.820 Everybody

00:40:17.420 agree?

00:40:18.300 So that

00:40:18.740 part of the

00:40:19.320 science,

00:40:20.100 it seems like

00:40:20.580 everybody agrees,

00:40:21.320 including Doc

00:40:22.220 Anarchy and 0.92

00:40:23.440 the studies.

00:40:24.560 But here's the

00:40:25.140 interesting part.

00:40:26.600 Blood pressure

00:40:27.200 medication is not

00:40:28.460 associated with

00:40:29.680 all-cause

00:40:31.180 extended mortality.

00:40:33.680 Did I say that

00:40:34.260 right?

00:40:34.440 It's not

00:40:35.220 associated with

00:40:35.940 living longer.

00:40:38.060 So it

00:40:40.500 seems to

00:40:41.020 stop you

00:40:41.520 from some

00:40:42.340 specific

00:40:42.920 problems,

00:40:44.040 but if you

00:40:44.960 look at

00:40:45.480 the all-cause

00:40:46.640 mortality where

00:40:47.500 all the other

00:40:48.080 possible ways

00:40:49.360 you could die,

00:40:50.220 they end up

00:40:50.800 living about

00:40:51.320 the same

00:40:51.960 length of

00:40:53.900 time as

00:40:54.200 anybody else.

00:40:55.760 Now I don't

00:40:56.180 know if that

00:40:56.520 means that they

00:40:57.000 live with

00:40:57.700 disability.

00:40:59.220 I suppose

00:40:59.720 that's the

00:41:00.100 next question.

00:41:01.260 But here's

00:41:02.340 why I trust

00:41:03.540 that.

00:41:03.940 you all

00:41:05.480 know my

00:41:05.840 story.

00:41:06.260 I've told

00:41:06.540 it too many

00:41:06.900 times.

00:41:07.220 So recently

00:41:07.660 I was on

00:41:08.140 blood pressure

00:41:08.620 meds.

00:41:09.000 I'm not at

00:41:09.460 the moment.

00:41:10.580 And the

00:41:11.080 blood pressure

00:41:11.560 meds were

00:41:12.040 killing me.

00:41:13.720 Let me say 0.99

00:41:14.220 it as clearly

00:41:14.880 as I can.

00:41:16.020 They were

00:41:16.520 killing me. 0.78

00:41:17.620 And I 0.58

00:41:18.100 could feel

00:41:18.580 it.

00:41:20.000 I could

00:41:20.600 feel it.

00:41:21.640 And here's

00:41:22.060 what I mean

00:41:22.400 specifically.

00:41:23.960 They made

00:41:24.920 me have

00:41:26.700 almost

00:41:27.840 non-stop

00:41:28.640 thoughts of

00:41:29.160 suicide.

00:41:30.580 The moment

00:41:31.300 I stopped

00:41:31.840 them,

00:41:32.000 completely

00:41:32.600 went away.

00:41:34.160 I haven't

00:41:34.720 even had

00:41:35.140 the slightest

00:41:36.320 inkling of

00:41:37.400 anything like

00:41:38.020 that.

00:41:38.860 It doesn't

00:41:39.480 even make

00:41:39.760 sense.

00:41:40.620 Because my

00:41:41.080 day looks

00:41:41.440 fine.

00:41:42.240 Oh, I'm

00:41:42.520 going to

00:41:42.600 have a

00:41:42.820 good day

00:41:43.160 today.

00:41:44.040 Yesterday

00:41:44.300 was fine.

00:41:45.100 Tomorrow

00:41:45.320 looks good

00:41:45.720 too.

00:41:46.540 And the

00:41:47.120 only difference

00:41:47.840 was I

00:41:49.500 stopped the

00:41:50.000 meds for

00:41:50.500 one day.

00:41:51.760 And then I

00:41:52.140 stayed off.

00:41:52.940 And my

00:41:53.420 mood stayed

00:41:54.080 good the

00:41:54.640 whole time.

00:41:56.900 So when

00:41:58.520 I was on

00:41:59.040 meds, I

00:41:59.620 did not care

00:42:00.280 about the

00:42:00.660 quality of

00:42:01.080 my life.

00:42:01.460 I could

00:42:01.980 not exercise

00:42:02.880 physically.

00:42:04.240 I mean, I

00:42:04.540 tried really,

00:42:05.520 really hard,

00:42:06.020 but I just

00:42:06.440 couldn't.

00:42:07.620 And I

00:42:08.020 felt that my

00:42:09.140 vitality, or

00:42:10.780 what would be

00:42:11.260 the word, I

00:42:12.360 was no longer

00:42:13.000 thriving.

00:42:14.560 What's the

00:42:14.920 word for

00:42:15.220 that?

00:42:15.800 There's like a

00:42:16.280 word for

00:42:16.620 that, right?

00:42:17.140 Where you're

00:42:17.480 not vigor?

00:42:18.840 No, there's

00:42:19.480 another word.

00:42:20.400 Like my

00:42:20.800 vitality, maybe.

00:42:22.520 Vitality?

00:42:23.720 Something like

00:42:24.140 that?

00:42:24.920 Yeah.

00:42:25.440 So my

00:42:26.180 sort of purpose

00:42:27.120 for living,

00:42:27.900 my stamina,

00:42:28.800 my dopamine,

00:42:30.180 mean, all

00:42:30.820 that stuff

00:42:31.240 was gone.

00:42:32.220 Now, I

00:42:33.100 could tell

00:42:33.680 that I

00:42:34.600 would not

00:42:34.940 have lived

00:42:35.340 as long

00:42:35.920 in that

00:42:37.040 condition.

00:42:38.420 And one

00:42:38.840 of the

00:42:39.060 other points

00:42:39.840 on Doc

00:42:40.540 Anarchy 0.55

00:42:41.000 Substack

00:42:41.720 goes to

00:42:43.100 why.

00:42:43.980 It turns

00:42:44.360 out one

00:42:44.660 of the

00:42:44.880 best things

00:42:45.400 you can

00:42:45.700 do for

00:42:46.360 helping your

00:42:47.340 health and

00:42:48.000 longevity is

00:42:49.940 walking

00:42:50.380 every day.

00:42:51.600 Just walking

00:42:52.120 every day.

00:42:53.020 That's all

00:42:53.480 it takes.

00:42:54.640 Do you

00:42:54.860 think I

00:42:55.200 could walk

00:42:55.680 every day

00:42:56.160 when I

00:42:56.620 was on

00:42:56.920 blood pressure

00:42:57.380 meds?

00:42:57.820 Nope.

00:42:58.840 Now, let

00:42:59.380 me be

00:42:59.640 clear.

00:43:00.460 All meds

00:43:00.960 are not

00:43:01.200 alike.

00:43:01.520 There's a

00:43:01.760 whole bunch

00:43:02.080 of different

00:43:02.480 blood pressure

00:43:03.140 meds.

00:43:03.940 I don't know

00:43:04.700 if one of

00:43:05.080 them would

00:43:05.360 have worked

00:43:05.700 without side

00:43:06.280 effects.

00:43:07.260 And I

00:43:07.560 don't know

00:43:07.820 if they

00:43:08.080 do or

00:43:08.440 do not

00:43:08.740 work for

00:43:09.160 you.

00:43:09.440 I'm just

00:43:09.720 telling you

00:43:10.080 my own

00:43:10.400 experience.

00:43:12.020 And so

00:43:13.900 what do you

00:43:14.700 think would

00:43:15.060 be better?

00:43:15.700 To lower

00:43:16.120 your blood

00:43:16.560 pressure,

00:43:17.240 let's say,

00:43:17.680 10 points,

00:43:19.060 from,

00:43:19.460 let's say,

00:43:19.900 140 to,

00:43:21.160 I don't know,

00:43:21.560 let's say,

00:43:22.200 140 to

00:43:23.200 120 or

00:43:24.480 something.

00:43:25.240 Do you

00:43:25.420 think that

00:43:25.740 would be

00:43:26.020 better if

00:43:26.940 you could

00:43:27.380 not have

00:43:27.940 exercise for

00:43:28.700 the rest of

00:43:29.040 your life?

00:43:31.140 I mean,

00:43:31.400 it's not

00:43:31.600 even,

00:43:33.340 there's an

00:43:34.300 obvious reason

00:43:35.240 why people

00:43:37.040 on blood

00:43:37.420 pressure

00:43:37.680 medicine don't 0.95

00:43:38.380 live longer

00:43:38.860 than other

00:43:39.200 people.

00:43:39.500 It's really

00:43:39.800 obvious.

00:43:40.580 You would

00:43:40.980 die of all

00:43:41.640 the other

00:43:42.000 stuff.

00:43:43.580 Like,

00:43:44.180 every other

00:43:44.680 problem should

00:43:45.400 be slightly

00:43:46.200 magnified,

00:43:47.060 because you

00:43:47.720 don't care

00:43:48.220 about living.

00:43:50.100 Do you

00:43:50.740 know what

00:43:50.980 kind of risks

00:43:51.660 I would have

00:43:52.260 taken a

00:43:53.020 month ago

00:43:53.480 that I would

00:43:54.020 not take

00:43:54.500 today?

00:43:54.840 There's a

00:43:55.680 big difference.

00:43:57.220 A month ago

00:43:57.940 I would have

00:43:58.320 done something

00:43:58.780 that I knew

00:43:59.280 could have

00:43:59.800 killed me, 0.99

00:44:00.820 and I 0.95

00:44:01.100 wouldn't have

00:44:01.360 given a 0.99

00:44:01.720 fuck. 1.00

00:44:02.500 I really 1.00

00:44:03.020 wouldn't have.

00:44:04.040 I would not

00:44:04.740 care one 0.99

00:44:05.420 fuck if I 1.00

00:44:06.080 died last 1.00

00:44:06.640 month.

00:44:07.320 Did not

00:44:07.900 care.

00:44:08.880 Today,

00:44:10.120 today I

00:44:10.740 wouldn't do 0.85

00:44:11.060 anything stupid, 0.98

00:44:12.240 because I 0.99

00:44:13.000 feel like,

00:44:13.520 hey,

00:44:13.700 tomorrow will

00:44:14.080 be fun.

00:44:14.960 I don't

00:44:15.240 want to

00:44:15.440 miss tomorrow.

00:44:17.220 Yeah.

00:44:18.100 So I

00:44:19.000 recommend it

00:44:19.560 because coming

00:44:20.240 out of the

00:44:20.760 pandemic,

00:44:21.240 I feel

00:44:22.040 like this

00:44:22.640 is a

00:44:23.240 tweet thread

00:44:25.500 that would

00:44:26.660 have been

00:44:26.880 harder to

00:44:27.520 get away

00:44:27.920 with before

00:44:28.960 the pandemic

00:44:29.560 and also

00:44:30.800 before Elon

00:44:31.780 Musk bought 0.94

00:44:32.840 Twitter,

00:44:33.680 and also

00:44:34.660 before Substack,

00:44:36.060 because he

00:44:36.640 could write

00:44:36.980 on Substack.

00:44:37.800 So, by the

00:44:38.340 way, so let

00:44:39.180 me recommend

00:44:39.780 Dr. Anarchy's

00:44:40.860 Substack,

00:44:42.420 which you can

00:44:43.220 see more

00:44:43.840 stuff like

00:44:44.280 this.

00:44:44.760 Now the

00:44:45.060 reason to

00:44:45.400 read it is

00:44:45.800 you get a

00:44:46.400 lot of

00:44:46.740 contrarian,

00:44:47.560 non-mainstream

00:44:49.700 medical opinions

00:44:50.800 from somebody

00:44:51.460 who's in the

00:44:51.920 mainstream

00:44:52.220 medical world.

00:44:53.740 So it's

00:44:54.060 pretty useful.

00:44:56.440 Yeah,

00:44:56.760 amlopidine

00:44:57.480 was my

00:44:58.560 med.

00:44:59.600 That's right.

00:45:03.240 So,

00:45:04.240 my current

00:45:06.420 blood pressure

00:45:07.260 is exactly

00:45:08.360 perfect without

00:45:09.620 any medications.

00:45:11.620 I have a

00:45:12.600 hypothesis on

00:45:14.460 lowering your

00:45:15.020 blood pressure.

00:45:16.140 You ready?

00:45:17.560 You've seen

00:45:19.280 a number of

00:45:20.000 techniques that

00:45:20.720 lower your

00:45:21.040 breath pressure

00:45:21.480 from taking

00:45:22.120 a walk,

00:45:22.760 exercising,

00:45:24.040 a whole bunch

00:45:24.480 of things.

00:45:25.340 But one of

00:45:25.920 the things that

00:45:26.360 a lot of

00:45:26.680 these things

00:45:27.180 have in

00:45:27.540 common,

00:45:28.480 if you're

00:45:28.820 looking for

00:45:29.180 the pattern,

00:45:31.140 is exhaling.

00:45:34.200 I feel like

00:45:34.940 the exhale

00:45:35.600 is where you

00:45:36.480 get all your

00:45:36.940 benefits.

00:45:38.420 There's one

00:45:39.060 technique,

00:45:39.740 I don't know

00:45:40.100 whose it is,

00:45:41.020 one of you

00:45:41.500 will tell me,

00:45:42.180 where you

00:45:42.460 take a big

00:45:42.960 breath,

00:45:44.320 and then you

00:45:44.820 exhale,

00:45:46.240 and when it's

00:45:46.940 almost done,

00:45:47.840 you exhale

00:45:48.340 again.

00:45:49.380 It's like you

00:45:49.800 really empty it.

00:45:51.620 Try this.

00:45:52.960 Is it

00:45:53.540 Wim Hof? 0.51

00:45:54.960 Is it

00:45:55.280 Wim Hof? 0.51

00:45:56.700 Maybe.

00:45:57.980 But here's

00:45:59.160 what I learned

00:45:59.720 that I feel

00:46:00.440 instantly.

00:46:01.860 When I do

00:46:02.620 that breathing

00:46:03.120 technique,

00:46:03.540 you can do

00:46:04.080 it any time.

00:46:07.440 Yeah,

00:46:08.180 you can do

00:46:08.600 it any time.

00:46:09.580 You could be

00:46:10.000 walking down

00:46:10.500 the street

00:46:11.020 and you

00:46:11.800 can just

00:46:12.460 go,

00:46:12.860 when you

00:46:17.280 feel the

00:46:17.780 second exhale

00:46:18.680 when your

00:46:19.340 lungs are

00:46:19.760 completely

00:46:20.200 empty,

00:46:21.660 feel your

00:46:22.520 sort of

00:46:23.220 anxiety,

00:46:24.460 stress level

00:46:25.760 that's sort

00:46:27.060 of in your

00:46:27.480 chest area.

00:46:29.040 Completely

00:46:29.600 gone.

00:46:31.160 You can

00:46:31.800 actually feel

00:46:32.440 anxiety,

00:46:33.120 can you not?

00:46:33.600 Let me ask

00:46:34.020 you this.

00:46:34.320 I feel like

00:46:34.980 I can.

00:46:35.680 Do you feel

00:46:36.320 anxiety like

00:46:37.320 in your body

00:46:38.460 or just

00:46:38.980 your mind?

00:46:39.960 You feel

00:46:40.340 it in your

00:46:40.580 body,

00:46:40.860 right?

00:46:42.120 You can

00:46:42.720 make that

00:46:43.140 anxiety

00:46:43.700 feeling that

00:46:44.580 sometimes is

00:46:45.160 with you all

00:46:45.640 day long,

00:46:46.500 you can

00:46:46.840 actually make

00:46:47.440 that completely

00:46:48.200 go away

00:46:48.800 with two

00:46:50.400 exhales.

00:46:52.180 Now,

00:46:52.700 it doesn't

00:46:53.140 stay that

00:46:53.620 way,

00:46:54.900 but if you

00:46:55.620 can bring

00:46:56.000 yourself down

00:46:56.560 to zero

00:46:57.100 anxiety

00:46:57.900 any time

00:46:58.520 you want,

00:46:59.660 and I've

00:47:00.120 started doing

00:47:00.580 this multiple

00:47:01.160 times a day,

00:47:02.960 right?

00:47:03.420 So instead

00:47:03.980 of like sitting

00:47:04.700 in one place,

00:47:05.420 I'll just be

00:47:05.880 walking the

00:47:06.440 dog and I'll

00:47:07.800 just do it

00:47:08.380 a few

00:47:08.560 times.

00:47:10.040 And I'll

00:47:10.480 just be

00:47:10.780 sitting at

00:47:11.100 my desk.

00:47:11.840 Sometimes I'll

00:47:12.420 be sitting at

00:47:12.880 my desk and

00:47:13.280 I'll be

00:47:13.440 working.

00:47:14.300 Like take

00:47:14.680 right now,

00:47:15.080 for example.

00:47:16.460 Since I've

00:47:17.020 been sort of

00:47:17.520 concentrating on

00:47:18.320 what I'm

00:47:18.660 doing for a

00:47:19.200 while,

00:47:19.580 if I were

00:47:20.020 to monitor

00:47:20.500 my body

00:47:21.040 right now,

00:47:21.780 I can feel

00:47:22.640 I've got

00:47:23.080 like a bunch

00:47:23.640 of stress

00:47:24.100 up here.

00:47:24.940 Not bad,

00:47:26.060 like pretty

00:47:26.640 mild.

00:47:27.580 And I can

00:47:28.380 feel sort

00:47:29.780 of an elevated,

00:47:31.800 you know,

00:47:32.060 my whole body

00:47:32.580 is elevated

00:47:33.140 because I'm

00:47:33.760 doing this

00:47:34.340 in front of

00:47:34.780 an audience.

00:47:36.100 But I

00:47:37.680 can make

00:47:38.040 that

00:47:38.200 completely

00:47:38.860 go away

00:47:39.480 this fast.

00:47:40.920 Just watch.

00:47:41.480 second exhale.

00:47:58.700 Totally

00:47:59.340 gone.

00:48:00.900 Totally

00:48:01.540 gone.

00:48:02.460 Like my

00:48:02.880 entire body

00:48:03.800 feels completely

00:48:05.640 different than

00:48:06.380 it did

00:48:06.780 30 seconds

00:48:08.540 ago.

00:48:08.840 I have

00:48:12.000 a theory

00:48:12.480 that if

00:48:14.260 you did

00:48:14.600 that alone,

00:48:15.360 you wouldn't

00:48:15.660 need blood

00:48:16.080 pressure meds

00:48:16.860 if you're

00:48:17.720 in that,

00:48:18.220 you know,

00:48:18.540 say the

00:48:19.180 lower end

00:48:20.040 of the

00:48:20.380 high blood

00:48:20.780 pressure range.

00:48:21.900 Just a

00:48:22.360 hypothesis.

00:48:23.860 And I'm

00:48:24.440 trying it

00:48:24.840 myself,

00:48:25.640 but I'll

00:48:26.020 bet you,

00:48:27.320 I'll bet you

00:48:27.780 it would

00:48:27.920 work for

00:48:28.220 all of you.

00:48:29.780 And here's

00:48:30.360 the thing,

00:48:30.640 it works

00:48:31.000 so instantly

00:48:31.840 that it's

00:48:33.060 hard to

00:48:33.380 doubt it.

00:48:34.760 Like it

00:48:35.280 works

00:48:35.460 instantly.

00:48:35.860 All right.

00:48:39.340 And take

00:48:40.180 long walks.

00:48:45.020 So here's

00:48:45.820 some things

00:48:46.360 we've

00:48:46.860 discovered

00:48:47.180 lately.

00:48:47.700 Now we

00:48:48.020 know for

00:48:48.560 sure that

00:48:48.940 our

00:48:49.100 government

00:48:49.400 has colluded

00:48:50.160 with

00:48:52.580 social media

00:48:55.140 and with

00:48:55.620 the media,

00:48:56.100 right?

00:48:56.600 So we

00:48:56.880 know the

00:48:57.140 government

00:48:57.440 has colluded

00:48:58.000 with the

00:48:58.300 media.

00:48:59.700 I'm going

00:49:00.040 to build

00:49:00.320 a little

00:49:00.580 case here,

00:49:01.160 so just

00:49:01.480 stick that

00:49:03.600 to the

00:49:03.840 side for

00:49:04.140 a second.

00:49:05.860 Here's

00:49:06.460 a story

00:49:07.100 on CNN

00:49:07.840 who is

00:49:09.100 being what

00:49:09.600 I call 0.99

00:49:10.080 woke silly. 0.94

00:49:11.520 I'm going 0.98

00:49:11.820 to make

00:49:12.020 that one

00:49:12.460 word, 0.99

00:49:13.480 woke silly. 0.99

00:49:15.240 It's more 0.99

00:49:16.100 than woke.

00:49:17.580 It's where

00:49:17.980 you take

00:49:18.340 wokeness all

00:49:18.960 the way to 0.99

00:49:19.320 silly. 0.98

00:49:20.420 Now let's 1.00

00:49:21.060 see if I

00:49:21.480 need to

00:49:22.020 finish the

00:49:23.860 point,

00:49:24.580 all right?

00:49:25.260 So I'm

00:49:25.700 just going

00:49:26.000 to give

00:49:26.240 you the

00:49:26.760 setup,

00:49:27.720 and then

00:49:28.520 I want

00:49:28.820 all of

00:49:29.220 you to

00:49:29.580 complete

00:49:30.040 the

00:49:30.420 hilarious

00:49:30.860 ending

00:49:31.520 of the

00:49:31.920 story,

00:49:32.520 okay?

00:49:33.160 Just the

00:49:33.720 setup,

00:49:34.800 and then

00:49:35.280 I'll be

00:49:35.520 done.

00:49:35.860 CNN is

00:49:38.160 reporting,

00:49:39.420 there's a

00:49:39.860 report by

00:49:40.360 the Institute

00:49:40.960 of Diversity

00:49:41.880 in Ethics

00:49:42.680 and Sports,

00:49:43.720 they found

00:49:44.320 that there

00:49:45.600 are a

00:49:46.180 very low

00:49:46.800 percentage

00:49:47.260 of black

00:49:48.120 major league

00:49:49.020 baseball players,

00:49:50.420 and they're

00:49:51.400 feeling that

00:49:51.880 that might

00:49:52.380 be a case

00:49:52.900 of discrimination.

00:49:55.300 And now,

00:49:57.020 I'd like

00:49:58.040 you to do

00:49:58.380 the rest

00:49:58.780 of it

00:49:59.020 in your

00:49:59.420 minds.

00:50:00.600 Okay,

00:50:01.020 complete it.

00:50:02.420 Oh,

00:50:02.740 that's,

00:50:03.160 oh,

00:50:03.480 oh,

00:50:03.980 God.

00:50:05.140 Oh,

00:50:06.140 I'm doing

00:50:06.900 it too.

00:50:07.560 You can do

00:50:08.080 this at

00:50:08.420 home.

00:50:08.760 Oh,

00:50:08.960 my God.

00:50:09.880 I guess I

00:50:10.660 showed them.

00:50:11.700 Oh,

00:50:11.940 look at this

00:50:12.280 point.

00:50:13.120 How about

00:50:13.480 this counterpoint?

00:50:14.480 Oh,

00:50:15.240 you're all

00:50:15.740 doing it,

00:50:16.060 right?

00:50:18.120 Yes.

00:50:19.200 Yeah,

00:50:19.480 NBA,

00:50:20.240 mostly black.

00:50:21.740 NFL,

00:50:22.660 mostly black. 0.98

00:50:24.000 Prisons, 0.98

00:50:25.440 too much,

00:50:26.040 you know, 0.77

00:50:26.320 black percentage.

00:50:27.740 Right?

00:50:29.040 There are

00:50:29.560 all kinds

00:50:30.060 of things

00:50:30.580 that are

00:50:31.620 like that.

00:50:32.360 Is baseball

00:50:32.920 the one

00:50:33.300 that's the

00:50:33.600 problem?

00:50:37.940 That sounded

00:50:38.800 racist, 0.77

00:50:39.420 but I'm

00:50:39.700 going to

00:50:39.860 allow it

00:50:40.280 as funny.

00:50:41.660 All right,

00:50:41.960 I'm going

00:50:42.160 to tell you

00:50:42.460 the joke.

00:50:43.380 So,

00:50:43.740 over on

00:50:45.840 YouTube,

00:50:47.560 somebody says

00:50:48.060 it's the

00:50:48.500 Jews.

00:50:54.160 That's

00:50:54.600 pretty funny,

00:50:55.160 actually.

00:50:55.440 I love

00:50:57.040 jokes that

00:50:58.360 when you

00:50:59.220 first hear

00:50:59.800 them,

00:51:00.020 you think,

00:51:00.580 well,

00:51:00.760 is that

00:51:01.000 racist?

00:51:02.120 But then

00:51:02.480 you have

00:51:02.700 to think

00:51:03.020 about it

00:51:03.360 and you

00:51:03.540 realize it's

00:51:04.420 the opposite.

00:51:05.100 It's not.

00:51:08.160 All right,

00:51:08.660 it's just

00:51:08.940 kidding.

00:51:09.320 It's not

00:51:09.620 really the

00:51:10.020 Jews.

00:51:12.340 That was

00:51:12.880 pretty funny.

00:51:13.400 That's a

00:51:14.240 yay callback.

00:51:18.260 All right.

00:51:19.400 Well,

00:51:19.920 let me get

00:51:20.360 to the good

00:51:20.820 news.

00:51:21.680 You ready?

00:51:22.080 2016,

00:51:25.940 free speech

00:51:26.680 came under

00:51:27.260 attack from

00:51:28.820 wokeness.

00:51:29.760 Would you

00:51:30.160 agree?

00:51:31.320 Now,

00:51:31.600 you could

00:51:31.860 argue about

00:51:32.340 what year

00:51:32.760 it was,

00:51:33.100 but about

00:51:33.420 2016,

00:51:35.060 wokeness

00:51:35.760 became this

00:51:37.120 big cloud

00:51:38.500 that made

00:51:39.440 free speech

00:51:40.160 basically

00:51:41.460 went away.

00:51:43.140 All right?

00:51:43.540 2016.

00:51:45.160 Let's

00:51:45.800 fast forward

00:51:46.620 from 2016.

00:51:48.840 You've got

00:51:49.620 Dave Rubin

00:51:50.580 creating

00:51:51.020 Locals,

00:51:52.020 a place

00:51:52.480 where people

00:51:52.960 like me

00:51:53.320 can go

00:51:53.800 and not

00:51:54.520 be censored

00:51:55.280 because it's

00:51:56.600 a subscription

00:51:57.280 community.

00:51:58.900 You've got

00:51:59.580 Glenn Greenwald

00:52:00.440 moving over

00:52:01.000 to Substack

00:52:01.740 and suddenly

00:52:03.180 he has

00:52:03.500 complete free

00:52:04.180 speech over

00:52:05.320 at Substack.

00:52:06.400 You've got

00:52:07.180 Elon Musk

00:52:07.920 buying Twitter.

00:52:08.920 Oh,

00:52:09.820 look at that.

00:52:11.240 A little bit

00:52:11.640 of free speech.

00:52:12.700 And Russell Brand

00:52:13.480 has moved over

00:52:14.320 to Rumble.

00:52:15.000 I don't know

00:52:15.280 if he,

00:52:15.520 does he still

00:52:15.960 have a YouTube

00:52:16.580 account or not?

00:52:17.380 But the

00:52:18.300 story is

00:52:19.100 that Rumble

00:52:20.660 is now a

00:52:21.500 serious business

00:52:22.360 obviously

00:52:22.860 because Russell

00:52:23.520 Brand has

00:52:23.980 moved and

00:52:24.420 he's a

00:52:24.920 serious content

00:52:25.620 creator.

00:52:27.120 And what

00:52:28.180 did this

00:52:28.620 do for me?

00:52:31.100 Add it all

00:52:31.900 together.

00:52:32.320 What did it

00:52:32.720 do for me

00:52:33.340 personally?

00:52:34.580 What did it

00:52:34.940 do for me?

00:52:36.540 It returned

00:52:37.060 my free speech.

00:52:38.800 It returned

00:52:39.560 my free speech.

00:52:40.980 I feel

00:52:41.740 already that

00:52:42.420 I can say

00:52:42.880 things I

00:52:43.320 couldn't say

00:52:43.960 last year.

00:52:46.080 Do you

00:52:46.520 know why?

00:52:47.380 Because if I

00:52:48.440 get cancelled

00:52:49.020 I can go

00:52:50.520 to Locals,

00:52:51.320 I can go

00:52:51.880 to Substack,

00:52:52.840 I can go

00:52:53.540 to Twitter,

00:52:54.660 I can go

00:52:55.360 to Rumble.

00:52:58.840 Right?

00:53:00.100 I'm 0.99

00:53:00.640 fucking free. 0.99

00:53:02.260 I'm free. 1.00

00:53:04.100 And you

00:53:04.640 know what

00:53:04.840 did that?

00:53:05.980 The free

00:53:06.640 market.

00:53:07.960 The free

00:53:08.400 market.

00:53:09.100 Now

00:53:09.300 individuals did

00:53:10.340 it, right?

00:53:10.920 Thank you

00:53:11.440 Dave Rubin,

00:53:12.380 thank you

00:53:12.800 Elon Musk,

00:53:14.100 thank you

00:53:14.720 Rumble creators,

00:53:16.260 thank you

00:53:16.840 Substack creators.

00:53:18.620 Right?

00:53:18.860 It was people

00:53:19.480 that did it.

00:53:20.580 But those

00:53:21.140 people were

00:53:21.660 operating in

00:53:22.340 the free

00:53:23.140 market.

00:53:24.540 Just take

00:53:25.280 a moment

00:53:25.780 to savor

00:53:27.860 the beauty

00:53:28.400 of this.

00:53:30.960 In

00:53:31.560 1770

00:53:33.160 whatever,

00:53:34.400 when the

00:53:34.940 founders

00:53:36.560 were building

00:53:37.260 a system,

00:53:37.980 a constitution,

00:53:38.580 and they

00:53:40.180 said,

00:53:40.960 you know,

00:53:41.180 let's have

00:53:42.020 some freedoms

00:53:42.780 in the

00:53:43.060 constitution,

00:53:44.460 free market

00:53:45.120 was sort

00:53:45.880 of,

00:53:46.120 you know,

00:53:46.360 assumed in

00:53:46.960 the system

00:53:47.420 because it

00:53:47.800 wasn't

00:53:48.080 prevented,

00:53:49.040 and they

00:53:50.780 built a

00:53:51.220 system to

00:53:51.780 try to

00:53:52.140 last,

00:53:52.760 you know,

00:53:53.500 the ages.

00:53:55.660 That

00:53:56.220 system,

00:53:57.020 for hundreds

00:53:58.000 of years,

00:53:58.560 supported

00:53:58.900 freedom of

00:53:59.500 speech,

00:53:59.980 you know,

00:54:00.260 with ups

00:54:01.320 and downs,

00:54:02.460 and when

00:54:02.960 it hit a

00:54:03.380 speed bump

00:54:04.020 in 2016,

00:54:06.480 the founders

00:54:07.820 reached through

00:54:09.140 time and

00:54:09.740 space and

00:54:11.440 fixed it

00:54:12.080 because the

00:54:13.200 free market

00:54:13.680 fixed it.

00:54:15.120 The free

00:54:15.820 market fixed

00:54:16.660 free speech.

00:54:18.400 And you

00:54:18.980 know what

00:54:19.200 happens if

00:54:19.720 the free

00:54:20.100 market dies

00:54:20.820 or the

00:54:21.380 free market

00:54:21.820 gets broken?

00:54:23.460 Free speech

00:54:24.300 would fix it.

00:54:25.940 So you

00:54:26.240 got free

00:54:26.640 speech that

00:54:27.220 can fix

00:54:27.660 free markets,

00:54:28.380 you got free

00:54:28.860 markets that

00:54:29.480 can fix

00:54:29.940 free speech.

00:54:30.740 It's a

00:54:31.200 self-healing

00:54:31.720 system.

00:54:32.980 Now I

00:54:33.300 suppose

00:54:33.520 everything

00:54:34.000 could go

00:54:34.380 wrong at

00:54:34.680 the same

00:54:34.980 time,

00:54:35.360 but we

00:54:35.560 haven't seen

00:54:35.940 it yet.

00:54:37.100 The beauty

00:54:37.940 of our

00:54:38.380 system is

00:54:39.640 just

00:54:39.840 breathtaking.

00:54:40.240 breathtaking.

00:54:41.160 It's just

00:54:41.580 breathtaking.

00:54:42.900 This thing

00:54:43.320 reached through

00:54:44.000 hundreds of

00:54:44.620 years and

00:54:46.720 fixed this

00:54:47.360 problem.

00:54:48.720 Right?

00:54:50.580 How about

00:54:51.580 racism at

00:54:52.840 Harvard?

00:54:55.100 Racism at

00:54:56.000 Harvard.

00:54:58.860 If you

00:54:59.700 haven't seen

00:55:00.060 the stats,

00:55:01.380 I had no

00:55:02.480 idea how

00:55:03.180 badly Harvard

00:55:04.140 was discriminating

00:55:06.720 against Asians 1.00

00:55:07.560 and white 0.81

00:55:08.140 people.

00:55:08.440 I knew

00:55:09.820 it was

00:55:10.080 bad,

00:55:11.120 but you

00:55:11.480 should see

00:55:11.940 the

00:55:12.180 statistics.

00:55:13.720 And I'm

00:55:14.120 going to

00:55:14.260 say something

00:55:14.740 that sounds

00:55:15.220 horrible,

00:55:16.260 but I have

00:55:16.820 free speech

00:55:17.300 now so I

00:55:17.780 can say

00:55:18.100 it.

00:55:19.480 Right?

00:55:20.160 I'm not

00:55:20.620 even sure I

00:55:21.020 would say

00:55:21.260 this a

00:55:21.580 year ago,

00:55:22.560 but now I

00:55:23.320 have free

00:55:23.640 speech.

00:55:25.100 If I see a 0.99

00:55:26.000 black guy 0.99

00:55:26.460 with a 0.86

00:55:26.740 Harvard

00:55:27.040 education,

00:55:28.420 I'm going

00:55:29.000 to assume

00:55:29.300 he's not

00:55:29.660 qualified.

00:55:31.980 Sorry.

00:55:33.900 And is

00:55:34.420 that because

00:55:35.280 I'm a

00:55:35.780 racist?

00:55:36.320 Nope.

00:55:37.180 That's

00:55:37.480 because that's

00:55:38.000 what Harvard

00:55:38.420 did.

00:55:39.280 Harvard did

00:55:39.780 that.

00:55:40.860 I didn't

00:55:41.200 do it. 0.77

00:55:42.220 The black 0.97

00:55:42.760 guy didn't 0.95

00:55:43.180 do it.

00:55:44.220 What did 0.90

00:55:44.760 the black

00:55:45.140 guy do in

00:55:45.800 this hypothetical

00:55:46.580 example?

00:55:47.380 Did the black 1.00

00:55:47.900 guy do 0.97

00:55:48.220 anything wrong?

00:55:48.880 No.

00:55:49.960 No, the 0.98

00:55:50.340 black guy did 0.79

00:55:50.800 everything right. 0.94

00:55:52.220 The black 0.94

00:55:52.600 guy had a

00:55:53.040 chance to go

00:55:53.500 to Harvard,

00:55:54.080 which means

00:55:54.600 he did

00:55:55.100 everything right

00:55:55.740 to prepare.

00:55:57.480 And maybe

00:55:58.240 the standards

00:55:58.780 were different,

00:55:59.400 but the black

00:55:59.880 guy did

00:56:00.200 everything right.

00:56:01.360 I have no

00:56:01.860 problem with 0.51

00:56:02.240 the black 0.99

00:56:02.520 guy.

00:56:02.740 I just

00:56:04.500 won't assume

00:56:05.160 that he's

00:56:05.540 competent just

00:56:06.560 because he has

00:56:07.120 a Harvard

00:56:07.440 degree.

00:56:08.000 I would

00:56:08.180 assume the

00:56:08.600 opposite,

00:56:09.040 actually.

00:56:09.760 I would

00:56:10.060 assume that

00:56:10.620 I can't

00:56:11.400 really treat

00:56:11.860 this person

00:56:12.340 like an

00:56:13.360 Ivy League

00:56:14.100 person.

00:56:15.760 Not that I

00:56:16.560 would treat

00:56:16.840 people differently

00:56:17.440 for that.

00:56:18.560 But am I

00:56:21.040 wrong?

00:56:22.760 Harvard has

00:56:23.540 actually degraded

00:56:24.840 their own

00:56:25.860 credentials.

00:56:28.580 And I

00:56:29.260 don't know if

00:56:29.620 I could have

00:56:29.920 said that a

00:56:30.340 year ago with

00:56:31.220 complete freedom.

00:56:33.680 And also

00:56:35.320 this lawsuit,

00:56:36.380 which looks

00:56:36.780 like it will

00:56:37.340 go in the

00:56:37.960 direction

00:56:38.240 everybody thinks,

00:56:39.300 that wouldn't

00:56:39.920 have happened

00:56:40.460 unless Trump

00:56:42.520 had been

00:56:42.860 elected,

00:56:44.340 unless he

00:56:44.840 put conservative

00:56:45.840 justices in

00:56:47.040 there.

00:56:47.680 That's the

00:56:48.180 only way that

00:56:48.700 was going to

00:56:49.620 get revised.

00:56:52.220 I won't say

00:56:52.860 fixed because

00:56:53.560 people have a

00:56:54.040 different idea

00:56:54.580 of what is

00:56:55.660 right, but

00:56:56.120 it will get

00:56:56.400 revised, I

00:56:57.680 think.

00:56:59.240 Now again,

00:57:00.780 look at the

00:57:01.260 beauty of the

00:57:01.740 system.

00:57:02.060 system built

00:57:03.500 hundreds of

00:57:04.200 years ago by

00:57:05.560 people who

00:57:06.060 didn't even

00:57:06.380 know the

00:57:06.700 internet was

00:57:07.200 coming.

00:57:08.640 And it

00:57:09.240 reached through

00:57:09.780 all that

00:57:10.160 space and

00:57:10.620 time and

00:57:11.120 fixed, it

00:57:11.720 looks like,

00:57:12.420 it's going to

00:57:12.860 fix this

00:57:13.360 Harvard

00:57:13.800 weirdness.

00:57:19.420 Pete

00:57:19.900 Hegseth sent

00:57:21.140 their diploma

00:57:22.200 back.

00:57:23.700 I don't know,

00:57:24.520 if I were

00:57:24.920 Pete Hegseth,

00:57:26.660 I'd be pretty

00:57:27.680 proud that I'm a

00:57:29.080 white guy and I

00:57:29.720 still got into

00:57:30.280 Harvard.

00:57:32.360 I don't know if

00:57:33.040 he had any

00:57:33.360 help because he

00:57:34.120 was a veteran

00:57:34.880 or anything.

00:57:35.500 I don't know how

00:57:36.240 that works.

00:57:37.680 Anyway, but

00:57:38.920 free speech has

00:57:39.780 returned and

00:57:40.980 it's breathtaking.

00:57:42.520 Honestly, it is.

00:57:45.340 Here's a small

00:57:46.640 technology that is

00:57:47.920 a giant deal and

00:57:49.380 could change my

00:57:50.520 life entirely.

00:57:52.240 Tiniest little

00:57:53.060 technology.

00:57:53.640 So there's an

00:57:55.400 AI that can

00:57:56.260 now read your

00:57:57.200 podcasts,

00:57:59.000 listen to them,

00:57:59.840 and it can

00:58:00.360 index it

00:58:00.980 immediately so

00:58:02.220 that you can

00:58:02.580 search for a

00:58:03.180 content within a

00:58:04.120 podcast.

00:58:05.060 Now, if I

00:58:05.660 understand it

00:58:06.260 correctly, you

00:58:07.760 could say,

00:58:09.060 hey, AI,

00:58:11.560 show me where

00:58:12.940 Joe Rogan was

00:58:14.540 talking about

00:58:15.540 ivermectin.

00:58:17.260 And it should

00:58:18.100 take you right

00:58:18.660 to that time

00:58:19.260 stamp.

00:58:20.780 Can you

00:58:21.420 imagine that?

00:58:22.000 Because here's

00:58:23.540 the thing.

00:58:24.260 A lot of the

00:58:24.880 most free speech

00:58:26.240 people are doing

00:58:27.140 what I'm doing.

00:58:28.620 I say it in

00:58:29.580 audio and I

00:58:30.720 keep it in of

00:58:31.480 written form

00:58:32.180 somewhat

00:58:33.260 intentionally.

00:58:36.740 Did you know

00:58:37.420 that?

00:58:38.280 Did you know

00:58:38.860 that one of the

00:58:39.340 reasons I do

00:58:39.900 this in audio

00:58:40.580 form is to

00:58:41.160 make it less

00:58:41.800 accessible?

00:58:43.360 I do that

00:58:44.080 intentionally.

00:58:45.580 Because I only

00:58:46.380 want the people

00:58:47.040 who are willing

00:58:47.560 to put in the

00:58:48.080 work to even

00:58:49.200 hear what I

00:58:49.660 have to say.

00:58:51.100 You know,

00:58:51.320 the influential

00:58:52.120 people, the

00:58:52.660 people who

00:58:53.000 care.

00:58:53.500 I don't want

00:58:54.080 the low

00:58:54.520 information people

00:58:55.440 to even have

00:58:55.960 access to my

00:58:57.140 thoughts.

00:58:57.800 Because low

00:58:58.440 information people

00:58:59.200 are only going

00:58:59.800 to cause trouble.

00:59:01.700 They don't

00:59:02.260 boost anything.

00:59:03.920 So at the

00:59:04.660 moment, I'm

00:59:05.320 happy influencing

00:59:06.500 only people who

00:59:07.540 really care enough

00:59:08.280 to find it.

00:59:11.620 But imagine

00:59:12.520 if people like

00:59:13.960 me became

00:59:15.460 instantly

00:59:16.100 indexable.

00:59:16.920 people, you

00:59:18.500 could search

00:59:18.980 for it.

00:59:20.720 Just think

00:59:21.140 about that.

00:59:22.200 Every single

00:59:23.060 day, somebody

00:59:23.700 sends me a

00:59:24.860 YouTube video

00:59:25.740 and says,

00:59:26.720 oh, there's

00:59:27.060 something really

00:59:27.560 important in

00:59:28.080 here, and I

00:59:29.800 don't watch

00:59:30.520 them.

00:59:31.720 Do you know

00:59:32.100 why?

00:59:32.820 Because it's

00:59:33.240 an hour-long

00:59:33.880 video, and I

00:59:34.880 don't know.

00:59:35.440 I don't know

00:59:36.180 where it is in

00:59:36.720 there.

00:59:37.700 But all that

00:59:39.340 information that

00:59:40.180 just hits a

00:59:41.540 brick wall,

00:59:42.460 they'll all be

00:59:42.980 unlocked.

00:59:43.540 The smartest

00:59:44.800 podcasters in

00:59:46.280 the world would

00:59:47.320 have their

00:59:47.660 influence increased

00:59:49.000 by, I don't

00:59:51.100 know, a factor

00:59:51.520 of a hundred.

00:59:52.940 Now, that's

00:59:53.420 going to really

00:59:53.800 change things.

00:59:56.980 Consider my,

00:59:58.160 now here's

00:59:58.560 another technology

00:59:59.760 that I'm sure

01:00:00.500 is available.

01:00:02.840 Imagine telling

01:00:03.720 an AI to

01:00:05.840 look at all

01:00:06.680 of my live

01:00:07.980 streams and

01:00:08.840 write a book.

01:00:11.080 Write a book

01:00:12.000 with my name

01:00:13.300 as the author

01:00:13.800 and just read

01:00:15.740 all of my

01:00:16.380 content and

01:00:17.200 then figure

01:00:17.660 out, you

01:00:18.160 know, get

01:00:18.380 rid of the

01:00:18.720 duplicates, put

01:00:21.500 them in themes

01:00:22.200 and create a

01:00:22.940 book.

01:00:24.180 Totally doable.

01:00:25.940 Totally doable.

01:00:28.180 Soon.

01:00:32.240 Let's see.

01:00:33.280 Oh, here's

01:00:33.980 Joe Moore on

01:00:37.040 Twitter.

01:00:38.260 He's a good

01:00:38.960 follow, Joe

01:00:39.640 Moore.

01:00:41.860 He tweets

01:00:42.680 this.

01:00:43.300 Now, a

01:00:43.860 number of

01:00:44.160 people have

01:00:44.580 been, David

01:00:45.940 Boxhorn is

01:00:46.720 notable, have

01:00:48.560 been pointing

01:00:49.020 out that

01:00:49.480 Israel has 1.00

01:00:51.040 very credible

01:00:51.880 elections and

01:00:52.960 it's because they

01:00:53.480 keep it really

01:00:54.000 simple.

01:00:54.980 My understanding

01:00:55.680 is that one

01:00:56.420 person walks

01:00:57.140 into a room to

01:00:57.980 vote, nobody

01:00:59.020 else is there

01:00:59.560 but that person

01:01:00.280 and a bunch of

01:01:01.120 observers.

01:01:01.540 observers.

01:01:03.180 And it's a

01:01:05.200 paper ballot

01:01:06.540 and the paper

01:01:07.740 ballots never

01:01:08.480 leave the

01:01:09.000 room and

01:01:10.420 they get

01:01:10.740 counted by

01:01:11.420 observers from

01:01:12.900 all sides

01:01:13.640 within the

01:01:14.860 room.

01:01:16.100 So basically

01:01:16.800 they've created

01:01:17.400 a system where

01:01:17.980 it's nearly

01:01:18.560 impossible to

01:01:20.280 cheat.

01:01:21.560 America has 0.83

01:01:22.340 created a

01:01:22.800 system where

01:01:23.480 it's possible

01:01:25.220 to cheat.

01:01:25.700 you might

01:01:27.200 get caught,

01:01:27.940 et cetera, but

01:01:28.380 it's possible.

01:01:30.300 Now, let me

01:01:31.000 ask you this.

01:01:31.700 If we know

01:01:32.400 there's a

01:01:32.860 system that

01:01:33.940 would be easy

01:01:34.600 to reproduce,

01:01:35.700 which is just

01:01:36.380 one person in

01:01:37.360 the room and

01:01:38.020 people witnessing,

01:01:39.140 if we know

01:01:40.100 it's easy to

01:01:40.660 reproduce a

01:01:41.420 nearly foolproof

01:01:42.940 voting system,

01:01:44.100 but we choose

01:01:45.160 not to,

01:01:46.700 we choose

01:01:47.260 not to,

01:01:48.760 what's that

01:01:49.460 tell you?

01:01:50.800 Well, that's a

01:01:51.700 choice.

01:01:52.920 That's a choice.

01:01:54.640 It's not an

01:01:55.280 accident.

01:01:56.460 The only thing

01:01:57.360 you can conclude

01:01:58.160 from this is

01:01:59.320 that both

01:01:59.880 Democrats and

01:02:01.380 Republicans want

01:02:03.320 the option of

01:02:04.000 cheating.

01:02:05.200 There's no

01:02:05.980 other way to

01:02:06.540 interpret that.

01:02:08.180 Am I wrong?

01:02:09.140 That both

01:02:10.060 sides want the

01:02:10.800 option of

01:02:11.320 cheating,

01:02:12.220 because remember

01:02:13.080 that, you

01:02:13.700 know, within a

01:02:14.300 state, if one

01:02:15.760 side has

01:02:17.120 control of the

01:02:17.860 election management,

01:02:18.940 they want to

01:02:19.340 keep it.

01:02:20.160 They want to

01:02:20.580 keep everything

01:02:21.120 the way it is

01:02:21.700 if it's working

01:02:22.440 for them.

01:02:23.560 So we do

01:02:24.560 have a system

01:02:25.080 that's designed

01:02:25.820 for cheating,

01:02:26.860 interestingly.

01:02:28.220 Let's talk

01:02:28.740 about Twitter.

01:02:30.840 Here is the

01:02:31.840 current preliminary

01:02:33.020 thinking from

01:02:34.660 Musk, and I

01:02:36.040 am blown away

01:02:36.960 by the speed

01:02:37.840 of execution.

01:02:39.140 Which again is

01:02:40.020 the new CEO

01:02:40.900 play, where

01:02:42.640 you go in and

01:02:43.340 you make some

01:02:43.820 important changes

01:02:44.680 right away and

01:02:45.280 everybody says,

01:02:46.080 whoa, there's a

01:02:47.600 leader who means

01:02:48.120 business.

01:02:48.760 And that first

01:02:49.360 impression really

01:02:50.020 just stays.

01:02:51.920 So the first

01:02:52.540 impression is just

01:02:53.260 awesome in terms

01:02:55.440 of, let's say,

01:02:57.900 credible management.

01:03:00.220 Here's one thing

01:03:01.000 we haven't seen

01:03:01.580 yet from Elon

01:03:02.740 Musk that you're 1.00

01:03:03.640 seeing with Twitter.

01:03:04.360 we've never

01:03:05.580 watched him

01:03:06.260 build a company

01:03:06.980 because most

01:03:08.380 of it happens

01:03:08.900 in meetings.

01:03:10.520 But he's

01:03:11.200 actually managing

01:03:12.220 Twitter in

01:03:13.800 public, very

01:03:15.880 much in public

01:03:16.600 because he's

01:03:17.380 asking our

01:03:17.860 opinion at

01:03:18.380 every move,

01:03:19.440 which is the

01:03:20.140 most amazing

01:03:20.660 thing I've

01:03:21.120 ever seen.

01:03:21.920 Have you ever

01:03:22.320 seen anybody

01:03:22.780 develop a product

01:03:24.420 in person, in

01:03:25.400 public?

01:03:26.820 What about

01:03:27.460 this?

01:03:28.300 All right, you

01:03:28.760 don't like that,

01:03:29.300 how about this?

01:03:30.540 It's incredible.

01:03:31.300 But here are

01:03:33.040 some of the

01:03:33.320 things that

01:03:33.740 look likely.

01:03:35.640 He's thinking

01:03:36.400 he wants to

01:03:37.140 charge $8 per

01:03:38.080 month to get

01:03:39.300 people a blue

01:03:40.360 check, but a

01:03:41.540 blue check

01:03:41.920 wouldn't mean

01:03:42.520 what it used

01:03:43.060 to be.

01:03:43.920 Under the new

01:03:44.500 world, anybody

01:03:46.000 could pay to

01:03:48.000 get verified,

01:03:48.840 I guess, through

01:03:49.320 some kinds of

01:03:50.080 steps.

01:03:51.000 It would level

01:03:51.940 the playing field

01:03:52.700 more so they're

01:03:53.520 not special

01:03:54.220 blue check

01:03:54.700 people and

01:03:55.700 paupers, I

01:03:56.940 guess he

01:03:57.420 calls it.

01:03:58.480 But here are

01:03:58.900 some of the

01:03:59.140 things you get

01:03:59.560 for your $8 per

01:04:00.440 month.

01:04:01.740 Priority and

01:04:02.460 replies.

01:04:04.040 I don't know

01:04:04.780 what that means,

01:04:06.100 but my guess

01:04:06.800 is that my

01:04:07.500 reply would be

01:04:08.400 at the top

01:04:09.400 of the reply

01:04:09.920 list.

01:04:11.180 Would you

01:04:11.800 guess that's

01:04:12.360 what that

01:04:12.660 means?

01:04:13.420 Because that

01:04:13.980 would make

01:04:14.280 me happy.

01:04:16.500 I'd be happy

01:04:17.320 to be at

01:04:17.880 the top of

01:04:18.340 the reply

01:04:19.640 list, because

01:04:20.400 that means that

01:04:20.940 people who

01:04:21.540 were not

01:04:22.300 verified to

01:04:23.120 be real

01:04:23.540 people, they

01:04:24.680 might be

01:04:25.040 bots, they 0.62

01:04:25.660 might be

01:04:25.940 just

01:04:26.120 troublemakers,

01:04:27.480 would automatically

01:04:28.520 be lower on

01:04:29.220 the list.

01:04:29.620 I would

01:04:30.780 pay $8 a

01:04:31.560 month for

01:04:31.840 that, totally.

01:04:33.960 Because it

01:04:34.460 would, not

01:04:34.920 just for my

01:04:35.420 own comments,

01:04:36.220 but to get

01:04:36.640 rid of other

01:04:37.040 people's comments

01:04:37.740 and get them

01:04:38.400 lower on the

01:04:38.820 list.

01:04:39.460 So if that's

01:04:40.080 what that

01:04:40.400 means, I

01:04:40.760 like it.

01:04:41.560 If it

01:04:42.000 means something

01:04:42.440 else, I

01:04:42.880 might like it

01:04:43.300 as well.

01:04:44.560 He says,

01:04:45.140 ability to

01:04:45.660 post long

01:04:46.240 video and

01:04:46.780 audio.

01:04:48.160 Well, of

01:04:49.140 course, of

01:04:50.700 course.

01:04:51.860 Why can't I

01:04:52.640 already do

01:04:53.060 that?

01:04:54.160 Is there

01:04:54.700 some reason

01:04:55.240 that Twitter

01:04:56.120 limits the

01:04:57.140 length of

01:04:57.520 my audio?

01:04:58.540 Let me ask

01:04:59.020 you, do you

01:04:59.360 know how

01:04:59.580 many times I

01:05:00.340 have tried to

01:05:01.140 post what I

01:05:01.900 thought was a

01:05:02.460 short video to

01:05:04.080 Twitter that I

01:05:05.440 thought was

01:05:05.760 awesome, like

01:05:06.820 something I

01:05:07.260 made myself, and

01:05:08.860 I couldn't do

01:05:09.340 it?

01:05:09.560 Like I hit that

01:05:10.160 limit, like 1.00

01:05:10.660 oh shit, that 1.00

01:05:11.380 limit again. 1.00

01:05:12.300 I would totally

01:05:12.860 pay for that.

01:05:14.320 Absolutely.

01:05:15.280 If you create

01:05:16.100 content, you

01:05:16.700 would pay for

01:05:17.100 that.

01:05:19.000 Half as many

01:05:19.800 ads.

01:05:20.660 Now that's

01:05:21.080 pretty cheeky.

01:05:21.840 Half as many

01:05:23.400 ads.

01:05:24.700 I would

01:05:25.320 definitely pay

01:05:25.940 for no ads,

01:05:27.720 but would I

01:05:28.860 pay for half

01:05:29.480 as many? 0.99

01:05:30.820 Damn it, I 0.99

01:05:31.520 would. 1.00

01:05:33.320 Damn it. 1.00

01:05:34.580 Damn it, I 1.00

01:05:35.320 would. 0.99

01:05:36.420 Yeah, and I

01:05:36.980 hate that, because

01:05:38.020 I'll still see

01:05:38.600 ads.

01:05:39.280 I would prefer

01:05:39.980 being able to,

01:05:41.140 you know, I'd

01:05:41.460 rather pay $9 a

01:05:42.660 month for no

01:05:43.140 ads.

01:05:44.220 But I can't

01:05:45.220 say that the

01:05:45.760 ads on Twitter

01:05:46.360 have ever

01:05:46.740 bothered me, which

01:05:48.260 is why Twitter

01:05:49.000 doesn't make

01:05:49.480 money, right?

01:05:50.500 If Twitter

01:05:51.240 bothered me

01:05:51.820 more with

01:05:52.300 ads the

01:05:52.780 way YouTube

01:05:53.180 would, if

01:05:53.860 you don't

01:05:54.120 have a, you

01:05:54.980 know, the

01:05:55.300 red tube

01:05:56.040 thing.

01:05:57.840 Yeah, I

01:05:58.720 mean, I'm

01:05:58.980 not really

01:05:59.280 bothered by

01:05:59.760 YouTube ads

01:06:00.320 at all.

01:06:01.900 But I'll

01:06:02.840 take less.

01:06:03.740 That'd be

01:06:04.060 good too.

01:06:04.760 Fewer.

01:06:06.720 There would

01:06:07.300 also be,

01:06:08.500 Elon says,

01:06:09.400 an extra tag

01:06:10.380 for public

01:06:10.960 figures, which

01:06:12.520 I think is

01:06:13.020 hilarious.

01:06:14.460 So now,

01:06:15.080 instead of

01:06:15.460 just a blue

01:06:15.980 check, which

01:06:16.760 sort of suggests

01:06:17.460 I'm a public

01:06:18.100 figure, but

01:06:19.400 you know, there

01:06:19.940 are lots of

01:06:20.380 people who are

01:06:20.680 not so public

01:06:21.380 who have blue

01:06:21.800 checks, you'd

01:06:23.260 have the blue

01:06:23.660 check plus an

01:06:24.760 extra tag for a

01:06:25.700 public figure.

01:06:26.860 Question, am I

01:06:28.320 a public figure

01:06:29.200 under this

01:06:30.120 framing of

01:06:32.940 things?

01:06:34.120 It's not just

01:06:34.960 politicians, right?

01:06:37.220 Because politicians

01:06:38.180 was the example

01:06:39.100 given, but I

01:06:39.740 think of a public

01:06:40.780 figure.

01:06:41.720 I think so.

01:06:42.360 So, do you

01:06:44.720 know what this

01:06:45.140 would, all

01:06:47.540 it's going to

01:06:47.940 do is, instead

01:06:48.680 of bragging or

01:06:49.620 feeling good that

01:06:50.360 I have a blue

01:06:50.940 check, I'm

01:06:52.180 just going to

01:06:52.600 brag and feel

01:06:53.660 good that I

01:06:54.120 have a blue

01:06:54.580 check plus an

01:06:55.740 extra tag.

01:06:57.800 So instead of

01:06:58.780 being the blue

01:06:59.480 check douchebags, 0.69

01:07:01.420 of which I'm a 0.94

01:07:02.680 member, I will

01:07:05.940 no longer be a 0.92

01:07:06.800 blue check douchebag, 0.98

01:07:08.680 I'll be a blue 0.97

01:07:09.800 check plus an 0.99

01:07:10.800 extra tag, douchebag, 0.98

01:07:13.460 and I look 0.97

01:07:13.900 forward to

01:07:15.180 joining that

01:07:15.640 crowd.

01:07:17.360 And here's a

01:07:18.560 really good one.

01:07:19.680 He suggests that

01:07:20.880 they're thinking

01:07:22.140 about a paywall

01:07:23.540 bypass for

01:07:24.640 publishers willing

01:07:25.600 to work with

01:07:26.320 Twitter, meaning

01:07:27.700 how many times

01:07:29.200 today have you

01:07:29.860 clicked on a

01:07:30.520 link to a

01:07:31.640 site that you

01:07:32.720 couldn't read

01:07:33.240 because it's a

01:07:33.920 subscription site?

01:07:36.220 Three times

01:07:37.120 today?

01:07:38.060 I think for me.

01:07:39.240 like all day

01:07:41.140 long I'm

01:07:41.600 clicking on

01:07:42.060 things I can't

01:07:42.700 read.

01:07:43.860 Now imagine if

01:07:45.060 all of those

01:07:45.640 publishers could

01:07:46.580 make a deal

01:07:47.140 with Twitter

01:07:47.620 where you can

01:07:49.640 read it if you

01:07:50.280 come from

01:07:50.700 Twitter, but

01:07:52.300 they get a

01:07:53.180 penny and

01:07:54.120 Twitter gets a

01:07:55.080 penny or

01:07:55.500 something like

01:07:55.860 that.

01:07:58.320 I don't know.

01:07:58.940 I feel like the

01:07:59.600 publishers would

01:08:00.240 make more money,

01:08:01.660 wouldn't they?

01:08:03.000 I feel like they

01:08:03.860 would.

01:08:04.660 That seems like a

01:08:05.600 great idea.

01:08:06.060 And I also

01:08:08.020 don't know why

01:08:08.480 it doesn't

01:08:08.780 already exist.

01:08:12.460 And then

01:08:13.040 somebody asked

01:08:13.720 if, asked

01:08:15.080 Musk on

01:08:16.120 Twitter, do

01:08:16.940 you think you

01:08:17.400 could get some

01:08:17.960 scientific journals

01:08:19.000 on board too?

01:08:20.620 And he said, I

01:08:22.120 think so.

01:08:24.080 Now, again, I

01:08:25.420 just have to back

01:08:26.100 up for a moment

01:08:26.680 and just marvel at

01:08:29.000 what we're watching

01:08:29.800 in real time.

01:08:31.280 The person who

01:08:32.140 asked that question

01:08:32.820 is just a Twitter

01:08:33.600 user, like it

01:08:35.180 wasn't some

01:08:36.140 famous person,

01:08:37.100 it was just a

01:08:37.520 Twitter user,

01:08:38.680 says, do you

01:08:39.660 think you could

01:08:40.120 get some

01:08:40.480 scientific journals

01:08:41.440 on board too,

01:08:42.340 so that you

01:08:42.980 could see them

01:08:43.480 past the paywall?

01:08:45.380 And he says, I

01:08:45.960 think so.

01:08:47.760 Since when does

01:08:49.300 the owner of a

01:08:50.360 gigantic company

01:08:51.280 entertain an

01:08:53.100 idea in public

01:08:54.000 and say, I

01:08:54.540 think so?

01:08:55.820 Like the fact

01:08:56.840 that he didn't

01:08:57.260 say, I'll look

01:08:57.760 into it?

01:08:59.360 Look at the

01:08:59.780 difference between

01:09:00.440 I think so and

01:09:01.520 I'll look into

01:09:02.100 it.

01:09:02.360 Do you feel

01:09:04.000 that difference?

01:09:05.480 I think so.

01:09:07.220 Like gives you

01:09:07.880 an actual window

01:09:09.400 into his mind.

01:09:10.840 You know exactly

01:09:11.600 what he knows

01:09:12.540 and where he's

01:09:13.900 going.

01:09:15.100 I love that.

01:09:16.720 The transparency

01:09:19.160 of his thinking

01:09:20.340 process as he

01:09:21.520 does it.

01:09:22.320 Like in real

01:09:23.000 time.

01:09:23.820 You're getting

01:09:24.460 the equivalent

01:09:25.120 of an MBA

01:09:26.800 just by watching

01:09:28.240 Elon Musk work

01:09:29.240 in public.

01:09:30.460 You are.

01:09:31.320 Because you're

01:09:31.780 seeing business

01:09:33.060 model after

01:09:33.720 business model.

01:09:34.960 You're seeing

01:09:35.380 all the constraints

01:09:37.360 being brought

01:09:38.100 into the fore.

01:09:39.260 You're seeing

01:09:39.840 the competitive

01:09:41.120 situation.

01:09:42.060 You're seeing

01:09:42.340 how he deals

01:09:42.800 with the

01:09:43.120 government.

01:09:43.960 You're seeing

01:09:44.360 how he's

01:09:44.700 replacing his

01:09:45.420 marketing department

01:09:46.240 with himself

01:09:46.900 tweeting.

01:09:47.840 You're seeing

01:09:48.320 how he can

01:09:49.200 integrate one

01:09:50.660 company into

01:09:51.280 a group of

01:09:52.040 companies.

01:09:52.820 You see how

01:09:53.300 he manages

01:09:53.720 public opinion.

01:09:54.620 this is an

01:09:58.100 MBA.

01:09:59.060 If you're not

01:09:59.540 watching this

01:10:00.180 you're missing

01:10:00.560 the best show

01:10:01.120 on earth

01:10:01.500 right now.

01:10:02.600 Just the same

01:10:03.240 way that

01:10:03.740 Trump was

01:10:05.220 an advanced

01:10:07.040 degree in

01:10:07.720 persuasion

01:10:08.260 in psychology.

01:10:10.180 Like if you

01:10:10.740 watch Trump

01:10:11.300 you learn

01:10:11.980 stuff.

01:10:12.880 You learned.

01:10:13.760 If you were

01:10:14.560 open to learning

01:10:15.240 you learned.

01:10:16.360 And if you

01:10:16.720 watch Musk

01:10:17.600 you're learning.

01:10:19.520 You're learning

01:10:20.340 how to run a

01:10:21.200 business,

01:10:21.640 how to be an

01:10:22.040 entrepreneur

01:10:22.440 just by

01:10:23.380 watching his

01:10:23.800 thought process.

01:10:24.760 Most amazing

01:10:25.380 thing.

01:10:27.100 It's just

01:10:27.780 amazing.

01:10:28.920 Just amazing.

01:10:30.220 And how much

01:10:31.020 better would the

01:10:31.740 world be if

01:10:33.480 you went to

01:10:34.220 Twitter and you

01:10:34.880 could actually

01:10:35.420 see an actual

01:10:36.940 scientific journal.

01:10:39.280 You know,

01:10:39.800 of course there's

01:10:40.220 a problem whether

01:10:40.780 we trust them.

01:10:41.720 But it's pretty

01:10:43.300 amazing stuff.

01:10:44.860 Anyway, I think

01:10:46.340 that we have

01:10:48.200 proved the

01:10:49.580 genius of the

01:10:50.440 founders of

01:10:51.140 America.

01:10:51.500 America, they've

01:10:52.920 shown us that

01:10:53.540 their system

01:10:54.180 can survive

01:10:55.140 assaults on

01:10:56.740 free speech

01:10:57.400 because free

01:10:59.020 markets have

01:10:59.640 fixed it.

01:11:01.380 And we've

01:11:02.920 seen that the

01:11:03.620 Adams law of

01:11:04.480 slow moving

01:11:04.980 disasters continues

01:11:06.180 to do its

01:11:07.800 thing.

01:11:09.780 And I

01:11:12.720 think we

01:11:15.120 are entering a

01:11:16.060 really good

01:11:16.740 phase.

01:11:18.460 Now, will

01:11:18.940 the stock

01:11:19.400 market take a

01:11:20.320 huge hit?

01:11:22.060 Yes.

01:11:24.340 If that

01:11:25.180 bothers you,

01:11:25.900 then you're in

01:11:26.400 the stock

01:11:26.800 market for the

01:11:27.520 wrong reason or

01:11:28.460 you're nearing

01:11:28.960 retirement, which

01:11:29.780 would be bad

01:11:30.380 timing.

01:11:32.140 The stock

01:11:32.840 market is

01:11:33.380 supposed to

01:11:33.880 take a big

01:11:34.340 hit.

01:11:35.180 That's because

01:11:35.880 everything's

01:11:36.420 working the way

01:11:37.260 it's supposed

01:11:37.640 to.

01:11:38.220 The stock

01:11:38.900 market got

01:11:39.400 way ahead of

01:11:39.980 itself and now

01:11:41.720 it's adjusting to

01:11:42.440 where it needs

01:11:42.820 to be.

01:11:43.500 That's not bad

01:11:44.380 news.

01:11:45.480 That's good

01:11:46.200 news.

01:11:46.520 That's good

01:11:47.940 news.

01:11:49.000 That means

01:11:49.700 everything's

01:11:50.380 working the

01:11:50.820 way it's

01:11:51.060 supposed to.

01:11:52.360 Free markets,

01:11:53.420 the adjustments,

01:11:55.000 everything balancing

01:11:56.280 everything out.

01:11:57.200 You're watching a

01:11:58.420 system correction

01:12:01.160 like you've never

01:12:02.300 seen before.

01:12:03.540 I believe that

01:12:04.520 the fake news,

01:12:06.760 which was a big

01:12:07.380 system problem,

01:12:09.200 was essentially

01:12:10.620 broken by Trump,

01:12:12.800 but then the

01:12:13.520 fake news broke

01:12:14.260 Trump in return.

01:12:16.460 Kicked him out

01:12:16.920 of office.

01:12:18.160 But he's back

01:12:20.440 and Trump is

01:12:22.360 going to come

01:12:22.740 back and finish

01:12:23.960 off fake news,

01:12:24.980 along with Elon

01:12:25.720 Musk and along

01:12:26.480 with Substack and

01:12:27.360 along with locals,

01:12:28.600 along with Rumble,

01:12:29.560 along with Parler

01:12:31.840 and Getter and

01:12:33.620 the other stuff.

01:12:37.320 So,

01:12:38.900 ever notice that

01:12:41.420 Scott's moods

01:12:42.200 track the stock

01:12:43.000 market?

01:12:43.340 A little bit,

01:12:45.440 but not so much,

01:12:46.840 because I think

01:12:47.320 the market is

01:12:48.080 poised to go

01:12:48.700 lower today,

01:12:49.380 but I'm in a

01:12:49.800 very good mood.

01:12:51.120 So that would

01:12:51.560 be a counter

01:12:52.100 example.

01:12:55.160 Love that Trump

01:12:56.000 is being quiet,

01:12:56.920 Linda says.

01:12:58.200 You know,

01:12:58.760 I think Trump

01:12:59.480 may have learned

01:13:00.080 something from

01:13:01.000 Biden,

01:13:02.680 because the only

01:13:03.740 way Trump can

01:13:04.420 lose is by

01:13:05.000 talking.

01:13:06.540 Am I right?

01:13:09.800 Yeah,

01:13:10.340 he can say

01:13:10.960 something that

01:13:11.560 could get him

01:13:11.960 disqualified.

01:13:12.580 But if he just

01:13:13.860 says,

01:13:14.480 I'm going to do

01:13:15.900 exactly what you

01:13:16.780 think I'm going to

01:13:17.340 do,

01:13:18.080 stay tuned.

01:13:20.000 It would be hard

01:13:21.260 for him to lose.

01:13:24.900 All right.

01:13:26.260 So,

01:13:26.680 we're on the right

01:13:27.220 track.

01:13:28.020 America is getting

01:13:29.300 ready to adjust.

01:13:31.540 Would you say

01:13:32.160 that wokeness

01:13:33.140 is on the way

01:13:35.500 out?

01:13:36.800 Yes.

01:13:37.600 But like many

01:13:38.280 things,

01:13:38.580 some of it

01:13:39.060 will be

01:13:39.380 permanent,

01:13:40.480 but not the

01:13:41.440 worst of it.

01:13:42.720 So I think

01:13:43.460 wokeness is on

01:13:44.300 the way out.

01:13:44.880 How about

01:13:45.180 ESG,

01:13:46.020 which is part

01:13:46.760 of wokeness?

01:13:47.860 ESG is

01:13:48.840 being assailed.

01:13:50.340 It's on the

01:13:50.720 ropes.

01:13:52.300 All right.

01:13:53.400 What about

01:13:54.180 defund the

01:13:55.400 police?

01:13:56.920 Dead.

01:13:58.780 Right?

01:13:59.760 Nuclear power,

01:14:00.860 up.

01:14:01.960 At the moment,

01:14:02.880 it's hard to

01:14:03.460 think of anything

01:14:04.020 that's not

01:14:04.500 trending in the

01:14:05.120 right direction.

01:14:05.680 Again,

01:14:07.940 the economy

01:14:08.560 and the

01:14:09.280 inflation,

01:14:10.100 they have to

01:14:10.520 do what they

01:14:10.920 have to do.

01:14:12.200 So think of

01:14:12.800 the economy

01:14:13.220 sort of like

01:14:13.680 a machine,

01:14:15.000 right?

01:14:16.280 When you

01:14:17.040 defrag your

01:14:18.300 computer,

01:14:18.960 I don't think

01:14:19.380 anybody does

01:14:19.840 anymore,

01:14:20.300 but when you

01:14:21.300 do maintenance

01:14:21.780 on your

01:14:22.140 computer,

01:14:23.620 you don't

01:14:23.980 say,

01:14:24.440 my computer

01:14:24.980 is worthless.

01:14:26.340 You say,

01:14:26.960 oh,

01:14:27.200 this is the

01:14:27.640 maintenance I

01:14:28.060 had to do.

01:14:28.640 So our

01:14:29.040 economy is in

01:14:29.720 a maintenance

01:14:30.060 mode.

01:14:31.320 That's the

01:14:31.840 best way to

01:14:32.240 think of it.

01:14:32.740 The economy

01:14:33.220 is in

01:14:33.520 maintenance

01:14:33.840 mode,

01:14:34.680 and it's

01:14:35.100 going to

01:14:35.360 stay a

01:14:36.140 little bit

01:14:36.560 less available

01:14:37.600 for our

01:14:38.240 benefit than

01:14:38.780 we'd like

01:14:39.220 for a

01:14:39.500 while.

01:14:40.300 And then

01:14:40.800 when it

01:14:41.320 gets out

01:14:41.660 of maintenance

01:14:42.020 mode,

01:14:42.580 it will

01:14:43.060 go up

01:14:43.400 again.

01:14:44.320 That's

01:14:44.560 exactly how

01:14:45.160 it's designed

01:14:45.660 to go.

01:14:46.360 Now,

01:14:46.920 there is one

01:14:47.580 thing that

01:14:47.960 is not

01:14:48.300 trending

01:14:48.640 right,

01:14:49.080 which is

01:14:49.500 fentanyl,

01:14:50.720 but do

01:14:51.360 you know

01:14:51.520 what fixes

01:14:51.920 fentanyl?

01:14:53.560 Trump.

01:14:55.140 And if I

01:14:55.860 were Trump,

01:14:57.020 I would run

01:14:58.140 for office

01:14:58.560 saying,

01:14:59.600 the cartels

01:15:00.760 better get

01:15:01.280 into that

01:15:01.700 business

01:15:02.060 before

01:15:02.520 election

01:15:03.420 day.

01:15:03.700 There's

01:15:06.180 a story

01:15:06.620 that I

01:15:06.980 don't

01:15:07.240 believe

01:15:07.680 that goes

01:15:08.320 like this,

01:15:09.500 that when

01:15:09.880 Trump talked

01:15:10.640 to Putin,

01:15:11.880 he told

01:15:12.300 them if

01:15:12.700 Putin got

01:15:15.000 adventurous with

01:15:15.800 Ukraine,

01:15:16.780 that he would

01:15:17.300 attack Moscow. 0.58

01:15:21.080 And,

01:15:21.640 oh wait,

01:15:21.860 it gets

01:15:22.040 better.

01:15:22.360 Now,

01:15:22.560 I'm not

01:15:22.820 saying I

01:15:23.140 believe it,

01:15:23.580 that's just

01:15:23.960 a report.

01:15:25.040 And then

01:15:25.420 there's a

01:15:25.920 report that

01:15:26.580 Trump,

01:15:26.980 when he

01:15:27.180 talked to

01:15:27.680 Xi,

01:15:29.440 he told

01:15:29.920 China that 0.98

01:15:30.540 if they

01:15:30.820 took Taiwan,

01:15:31.560 he'd attack

01:15:33.020 Beijing.

01:15:36.520 Now,

01:15:37.380 I don't

01:15:38.120 think those

01:15:38.860 are credible

01:15:39.560 reports.

01:15:41.040 But,

01:15:41.500 is it

01:15:41.820 believable?

01:15:43.220 Yeah,

01:15:43.540 it is.

01:15:44.360 Yeah,

01:15:44.560 it is.

01:15:45.340 I'm not

01:15:45.940 going to

01:15:46.820 say I

01:15:47.200 believe it,

01:15:48.040 that's going

01:15:48.500 too far,

01:15:49.240 because I

01:15:49.740 don't think

01:15:50.060 anybody has

01:15:50.500 credible

01:15:50.940 reporting from

01:15:51.920 secret

01:15:52.340 conversations.

01:15:53.660 But,

01:15:54.320 it does

01:15:55.300 sound like

01:15:55.700 something he

01:15:56.160 might say,

01:15:57.380 doesn't it?

01:15:58.860 And,

01:15:59.700 if Trump

01:16:00.680 said,

01:16:01.860 cartels,

01:16:03.660 Trump could

01:16:04.480 actually put 0.99

01:16:05.040 a death

01:16:06.160 date on

01:16:06.640 the cartels.

01:16:08.020 He could

01:16:08.320 say,

01:16:09.500 yeah,

01:16:09.700 there's this

01:16:10.080 many days

01:16:10.660 until election

01:16:11.560 and then

01:16:12.080 inauguration.

01:16:13.020 So,

01:16:13.240 pick

01:16:13.420 inauguration

01:16:14.000 date as

01:16:14.540 the date.

01:16:15.880 Inauguration

01:16:16.360 date,

01:16:17.440 2025,

01:16:20.100 if the

01:16:20.940 cartels are

01:16:21.540 not out of

01:16:22.100 the business,

01:16:23.400 I'm going

01:16:23.740 to take

01:16:24.040 them out.

01:16:26.440 What would

01:16:27.040 happen?

01:16:27.960 If you

01:16:28.440 gave the

01:16:28.800 cartels two

01:16:29.560 years to

01:16:30.100 get out of

01:16:30.480 the fentanyl

01:16:31.080 business,

01:16:31.980 but not

01:16:32.340 the other

01:16:32.660 business,

01:16:33.500 right?

01:16:33.720 That's still

01:16:34.040 going to be

01:16:34.280 a cat and

01:16:34.640 mouse game.

01:16:35.520 But,

01:16:35.820 if you

01:16:35.960 said,

01:16:36.480 look,

01:16:36.800 that's a

01:16:37.120 line,

01:16:38.420 you cross

01:16:38.940 that line,

01:16:39.620 we're going

01:16:39.880 to level

01:16:40.620 you.

01:16:42.500 Just give

01:16:43.100 them a

01:16:43.300 two-year

01:16:43.620 notice and

01:16:44.920 say,

01:16:45.280 you're actually

01:16:45.760 just going

01:16:46.180 to disappear

01:16:46.740 in two

01:16:47.120 years.

01:16:47.820 So,

01:16:48.100 you've got

01:16:48.320 time to

01:16:48.740 change

01:16:49.120 things,

01:16:49.800 but you're

01:16:50.320 going to

01:16:50.560 disappear

01:16:51.080 in two

01:16:51.540 years.

01:16:53.680 Yeah.

01:16:55.020 They would

01:16:55.580 assassinate 1.00

01:16:56.160 him.

01:16:57.080 You know,

01:16:57.460 I do

01:16:58.380 worry about

01:16:59.020 Trump's

01:17:00.460 safety.

01:17:02.320 Not when

01:17:02.940 he's out

01:17:03.240 of office,

01:17:04.220 but,

01:17:04.580 yeah,

01:17:05.080 in general,

01:17:05.800 he's one

01:17:06.640 that is

01:17:07.280 provocative,

01:17:08.740 so,

01:17:10.360 you never

01:17:10.700 know.

01:17:11.060 Now,

01:17:11.300 it could be

01:17:11.780 that the

01:17:12.100 reason that

01:17:12.680 our government

01:17:13.320 has never

01:17:13.760 attacked the

01:17:14.280 cartels is

01:17:14.900 that the

01:17:15.280 leaders are

01:17:15.820 afraid.

01:17:17.320 That's

01:17:17.780 possible.

01:17:18.560 I don't

01:17:19.220 know that

01:17:19.560 that would

01:17:19.820 affect Trump,

01:17:20.440 though.

01:17:21.600 Trump might

01:17:22.160 be the one

01:17:22.700 political leader

01:17:23.560 who would say,

01:17:24.440 yeah,

01:17:24.600 they might

01:17:25.520 come after

01:17:25.920 me,

01:17:26.560 and then

01:17:26.860 just do

01:17:27.200 it anyway.

01:17:31.440 All right.

01:17:34.740 Who is

01:17:35.440 Robert Barnes,

01:17:36.640 somebody keeps

01:17:37.500 asking.

01:17:38.420 You don't

01:17:38.860 know who

01:17:39.060 Robert Barnes

01:17:39.660 is?

01:17:40.740 Well,

01:17:41.420 let me

01:17:41.820 introduce you

01:17:42.500 to the

01:17:43.600 left-leaning

01:17:44.200 audience.

01:17:46.500 There are

01:17:47.700 some

01:17:48.000 personalities

01:17:49.920 and content

01:17:51.780 makers of

01:17:52.620 the left

01:17:53.040 that are

01:17:53.920 unusually

01:17:54.760 highly

01:17:55.320 credible.

01:17:56.520 All right?

01:17:58.280 Robert Barnes

01:17:59.100 would be in

01:17:59.560 the highly

01:18:00.120 credible area

01:18:01.840 for a

01:18:02.660 lawyer who's

01:18:04.140 more associated

01:18:05.220 with the

01:18:05.520 right.

01:18:07.320 So you

01:18:10.820 should know,

01:18:11.460 there are

01:18:11.760 some people

01:18:12.120 you should

01:18:12.420 know,

01:18:13.040 and Barnes

01:18:13.780 is one of

01:18:14.240 them.

01:18:16.820 I like

01:18:17.580 the fact

01:18:18.140 that the

01:18:18.960 political

01:18:19.460 right has

01:18:20.340 developed a

01:18:20.980 number of

01:18:21.440 credible

01:18:21.860 people.

01:18:23.260 Have you

01:18:23.440 noticed that?

01:18:24.880 There's a

01:18:25.480 bunch of

01:18:25.900 people on

01:18:26.600 the political

01:18:27.240 right who

01:18:28.540 are not

01:18:28.940 necessarily

01:18:30.320 classically

01:18:31.660 full

01:18:33.400 Republican or

01:18:34.180 anything like

01:18:34.600 that.

01:18:36.140 It's not so

01:18:37.020 much that they're

01:18:37.440 Republican,

01:18:38.240 it's just

01:18:38.560 they're willing

01:18:40.700 to fully

01:18:41.620 evaluate the

01:18:43.260 right's

01:18:43.600 opinions.

01:18:45.140 So I

01:18:45.600 would say

01:18:45.880 Jonathan

01:18:46.300 Turley would

01:18:46.880 be very

01:18:47.340 high up in

01:18:47.840 that category.

01:18:49.300 Very

01:18:49.560 credible.

01:18:50.000 Brit

01:18:51.420 Hume,

01:18:52.020 very

01:18:52.500 credible.

01:18:53.300 Tucker's

01:18:53.660 more

01:18:53.980 provocative,

01:18:55.060 that's a

01:18:55.340 different

01:18:55.820 situation.

01:18:57.160 Tucker's a

01:18:57.800 national

01:18:58.140 treasure,

01:18:59.560 but he's a

01:19:01.960 little more

01:19:02.200 in the

01:19:02.400 political

01:19:02.740 vein.

01:19:04.420 Jordan

01:19:04.800 Peterson is

01:19:05.500 interesting

01:19:05.960 for lots

01:19:08.860 of reasons.

01:19:10.340 Glenn

01:19:10.860 Greenwell,

01:19:11.620 yeah.

01:19:12.580 So there's a

01:19:13.480 number of

01:19:13.760 people that you

01:19:14.340 can follow on

01:19:15.340 the right that

01:19:16.200 would never

01:19:16.620 embarrass you.

01:19:18.280 You know

01:19:18.480 what I mean?

01:19:19.440 Like if there's

01:19:20.180 some characters

01:19:20.780 if you associate

01:19:22.240 with them,

01:19:22.820 you say,

01:19:23.120 oh God,

01:19:23.820 you did that,

01:19:24.840 and then you

01:19:25.400 have to explain

01:19:26.000 away why you

01:19:26.560 ever liked

01:19:27.500 them in the

01:19:27.820 first place.

01:19:28.560 But there's a

01:19:29.260 whole bunch of

01:19:29.980 people on the

01:19:30.420 right who just

01:19:30.960 aren't like

01:19:31.480 that.

01:19:32.860 They're just

01:19:33.480 actually legitimate

01:19:35.720 people.

01:19:39.260 Yeah,

01:19:39.700 Megyn Kelly,

01:19:40.640 I'm seeing other 0.77

01:19:41.120 names go by,

01:19:42.620 Gad Saad,

01:19:43.580 Geraldo,

01:19:44.460 Geraldo's a 0.98

01:19:46.660 I wouldn't

01:19:48.060 call him a

01:19:48.940 voice on the

01:19:50.340 right.

01:19:50.900 He associates

01:19:51.440 with the

01:19:51.760 left.

01:19:52.360 He just

01:19:52.620 likes Trump.

01:19:53.800 And he's

01:19:54.140 also open-minded.

01:19:59.940 Yeah.

01:20:01.460 I saw Dana

01:20:02.460 Perino go by

01:20:03.400 as a name.

01:20:04.160 I saw Greg

01:20:06.340 Gottfeld,

01:20:07.100 famously more

01:20:08.240 open-minded than

01:20:09.100 a lot of the

01:20:10.160 TV people.

01:20:12.540 Victor David

01:20:13.340 Hansen is

01:20:14.640 recommended,

01:20:20.760 of course.

01:20:21.820 So if you

01:20:22.660 wanted to see

01:20:23.920 what the,

01:20:24.500 let's say,

01:20:25.080 most intellectual

01:20:25.860 members of the

01:20:26.860 right are saying,

01:20:28.560 then you'd want

01:20:29.160 to follow Victor

01:20:29.820 David Hansen,

01:20:30.440 yes.

01:20:31.720 I don't know if

01:20:32.760 he's as,

01:20:33.680 let's say,

01:20:35.540 flexible about

01:20:37.420 any benefits

01:20:38.220 that are happening

01:20:38.740 on the left.

01:20:40.020 I don't know if

01:20:40.900 that's the case.

01:20:41.920 So just be aware

01:20:42.600 of that.

01:20:43.640 John Stossel,

01:20:44.620 good example.

01:20:46.080 Open-minded,

01:20:47.020 not associated

01:20:48.040 with one side,

01:20:49.720 you know,

01:20:50.040 in a crazy way.

01:20:51.680 Rick Wilson.

01:20:53.940 Thomas Sowell

01:20:54.740 is another,

01:20:55.720 Thomas Sowell.

01:20:56.420 You know,

01:20:56.740 we should make

01:20:57.260 a list.

01:20:58.980 That would be

01:20:59.540 interesting.

01:20:59.940 I guess we'd

01:21:00.420 never agree on

01:21:01.020 the list.

01:21:01.620 But there should

01:21:02.180 be a list of

01:21:02.980 people you could

01:21:03.740 listen to on

01:21:05.240 the right without 0.72

01:21:06.400 having your head 0.59

01:21:07.420 explode. 0.99

01:21:09.000 How about that?

01:21:10.540 How about that?

01:21:11.160 If you could

01:21:13.100 give people

01:21:13.580 on the left

01:21:14.240 a reading list

01:21:15.640 or a follow list

01:21:17.000 that's like,

01:21:18.220 okay,

01:21:18.620 we get how

01:21:19.440 Trump makes 0.99

01:21:20.220 you crazy, 1.00

01:21:21.560 right? 0.99

01:21:22.520 We get how,

01:21:23.540 you know,

01:21:23.800 Mike Cervich

01:21:24.380 might make you 0.93

01:21:24.940 crazy.

01:21:26.280 But here's a list 0.80

01:21:27.300 of people who

01:21:27.840 won't make you

01:21:28.440 crazy,

01:21:29.100 who just say 0.98

01:21:30.160 things that are

01:21:30.740 compatible with

01:21:31.500 the right.

01:21:32.020 So if you want

01:21:32.740 to see what

01:21:33.080 the reasonable

01:21:33.600 arguments look

01:21:34.280 like,

01:21:35.080 follow this group.

01:21:36.740 That would be

01:21:37.200 really useful,

01:21:37.820 wouldn't it?

01:21:39.280 I don't know

01:21:39.900 if I'd make

01:21:40.300 the list or

01:21:40.760 not.

01:21:41.160 Mike Rowe.

01:21:44.060 Do you know

01:21:44.860 Mike Rowe's

01:21:45.380 politics?

01:21:45.940 I don't.

01:21:47.760 Would you even

01:21:48.660 associate Mike

01:21:49.460 Rowe with the

01:21:49.940 right?

01:21:51.340 I don't think

01:21:52.280 it's fair to say

01:21:53.000 that a guy who

01:21:53.660 thinks that work

01:21:54.800 is respectable

01:21:56.100 is necessarily

01:21:57.080 a Republican.

01:21:58.700 Well,

01:21:58.940 that's gone too

01:21:59.460 far.

01:22:01.800 I'm almost

01:22:02.560 positive there

01:22:03.340 are Democrats

01:22:03.940 who value

01:22:04.620 work.

01:22:06.220 Almost

01:22:06.740 positive.

01:22:07.180 All right.

01:22:11.300 Yeah,

01:22:11.680 Mike Rowe

01:22:12.080 seems more

01:22:12.700 like the

01:22:13.260 common sense

01:22:14.440 middle type

01:22:15.780 of person.

01:22:20.960 Tyrus.

01:22:22.200 Tyrus is an

01:22:23.080 interesting voice.

01:22:25.480 You have to be

01:22:26.500 careful about the

01:22:27.300 people who are

01:22:28.180 not as

01:22:29.520 established yet.

01:22:31.580 So Tyrus is

01:22:32.500 doing a great job

01:22:33.520 managing his career.

01:22:34.540 And if you're

01:22:35.360 watching that,

01:22:35.860 it's real fun

01:22:36.300 to watch.

01:22:36.980 Just watching how

01:22:37.740 he's putting the

01:22:38.840 pieces together

01:22:39.560 and becoming

01:22:40.180 a substantial

01:22:42.120 voice from

01:22:43.800 maybe being more

01:22:45.600 of a stunt

01:22:47.560 casting to

01:22:48.800 actually becoming

01:22:49.540 substantial now

01:22:50.460 and contributing

01:22:51.980 to other shows,

01:22:52.940 et cetera.

01:22:53.620 So that's a real

01:22:54.200 fun, it's real

01:22:55.100 fun to watch

01:22:55.740 that growth.

01:22:58.920 He's doing a

01:22:59.620 great job.

01:23:00.020 like Jesse

01:23:06.720 Waters did.

01:23:11.520 All right.

01:23:12.400 I think that's

01:23:13.000 all I got for

01:23:13.540 today.

01:23:16.060 Sticks and

01:23:16.680 hammers, a

01:23:17.220 good recommendation.

01:23:19.140 Clay Davis,

01:23:20.100 Tulsi, yeah.

01:23:21.680 You could

01:23:22.580 actually have a

01:23:23.180 very long list

01:23:23.980 of reasonable

01:23:24.640 people who

01:23:25.440 lean right,

01:23:26.720 who are not

01:23:27.220 necessarily even

01:23:28.140 Republicans.

01:23:28.820 So, all

01:23:31.300 right.

01:23:31.960 That's all for

01:23:32.400 now.

01:23:32.780 YouTube, I'll

01:23:33.280 talk to you

01:23:33.580 tomorrow.

01:23:33.780 All right.
