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.
00:01:54.780 They would actually kill you if you didn't take the religion seriously.
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,
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.
00:29:14.020 That leader is so obnoxious.
00:29:16.160 That leader is so provocative.
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
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.
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
00:35:51.060 fucking
00:35:51.640 criminals.
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
00:36:02.580 are fucking
00:36:03.460 corrupt
00:36:03.960 criminals.
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
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
00:37:16.480 shit for
00:37:17.280 saying that
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
00:37:48.260 is a criminal
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
00:38:00.600 corrupt.
00:38:02.760 And you
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
00:38:10.940 corrupt.
00:38:12.960 And that's
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
00:38:17.440 so fucking
00:38:18.240 incompetent that
00:38:19.060 they don't
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
00:38:27.220 corrupt,
00:38:27.720 competent person
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
00:38:36.300 corrupt piece
00:38:36.900 of shit.
00:38:37.760 That's what they
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
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.
00:41:17.620 And I
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,
00:44:00.820 and I
00:44:01.100 wouldn't have
00:44:01.360 given a
00:44:01.720 fuck.
00:44:02.500 I really
00:44:03.020 wouldn't have.
00:44:04.040 I would not
00:44:04.740 care one
00:44:05.420 fuck if I
00:44:06.080 died last
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
00:44:11.060 anything stupid, 0.59
00:44:12.240 because I
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
00:49:10.080 woke silly.
00:49:11.520 I'm going
00:49:11.820 to make
00:49:12.020 that one
00:49:12.460 word,
00:49:13.480 woke silly.
00:49:15.240 It's more
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
00:49:19.320 silly.
00:49:20.420 Now let's
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.
00:50:24.000 Prisons,
00:50:25.440 too much,
00:50:26.040 you know,
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
00:53:00.640 fucking free.
00:53:02.260 I'm free.
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
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
00:55:26.000 black guy
00:55:26.460 with a
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.
00:55:42.220 The black 0.94
00:55:42.760 guy didn't
00:55:43.180 do it.
00:55:44.220 What did
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
00:55:48.220 anything wrong?
00:55:48.880 No.
00:55:49.960 No, the
00:55:50.340 black guy did 0.79
00:55:50.800 everything right.
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
00:56:02.240 the black
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
01:05:10.660 oh shit, that
01:05:11.380 limit again.
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?
01:05:30.820 Damn it, I
01:05:31.520 would.
01:05:33.320 Damn it.
01:05:34.580 Damn it, I
01:05:35.320 would.
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, 0.63
01:07:01.420 of which I'm a
01:07:02.680 member, I will
01:07:05.940 no longer be a
01:07:06.800 blue check douchebag, 0.98
01:07:08.680 I'll be a blue
01:07:09.800 check plus an
01:07:10.800 extra tag, douchebag, 0.94
01:07:13.460 and I look
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
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
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
01:21:07.420 explode.
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
01:21:20.220 you crazy,
01:21:21.560 right?
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
01:21:24.940 crazy.
01:21:26.280 But here's a list
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
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.
