Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1924 Scott Adams： Trump Alienates His Base, And Elon Musk Tries To Turn Twitter Around

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody. Wow. Do you look good? I don't know. You've probably been exercising a

00:00:11.320 little extra, maybe doing your breathing exercises. I don't know. After we do the

00:00:16.600 simultaneous sip, I'm going to give you a reframe that will change your life. That's my challenge.

00:00:24.900 Do you think I can do that? Do you think I can give you, like, two sentences that will change

00:00:31.000 your life? I think I can, actually. Like, actually, I think I can. Truly. All right. But before we do

00:00:39.900 that, we're going to take it up a notch. You ready? Here we go. All you need is a cup or mug or a glass

00:00:45.840 or a tank or a chalice or a canteen jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite

00:00:50.500 liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the

00:00:56.080 day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go.

00:01:06.420 Ah, savor it. Savor it. Good. Good. All right. Are you ready for the reframe in just a few sentences

00:01:16.880 that will change your life? Ready? Here it comes. You're not waiting in line. You're doing

00:01:27.400 breathing exercises. That's it. So I've been trying to figure out some way that I could work

00:01:34.160 the habit of breathing exercises into my daily life. It turns out that every day I spend at least

00:01:42.540 some time standing in line. Right? Grocery store or Starbucks or gas station or something.

00:01:50.960 So you're always standing in line. So you could take out your phone, which is what I used to do,

00:01:57.980 take out my phone. And then I would probably make myself more anxious. I would enjoy it. That's why

00:02:05.180 I look at my phone. But it makes you a little anxious, doesn't it? So instead, I'm having really

00:02:13.380 good success with that Andrew Huberman, two inhales and one long exhale. You know, you do one big sniff

00:02:21.920 in with your nose. And then before you exhale, you do a second, you know, aggressive sniff. So you fill

00:02:28.920 your lungs with two nose sniffs and then you do one long exhale. And I could actually feel the,

00:02:35.880 like the extra energy that causes anxiety. I like to say it that way. I can actually just feel it

00:02:42.460 go away instantly. But it doesn't stay away. You know, but if you keep doing the breathing thing,

00:02:48.680 it does feel like it lasts a while. So I've been doing the breathing exercises, got off all of my

00:02:54.900 blood pressure meds. Yesterday I checked my blood pressure. It was 118 over 78 on no meds. And the

00:03:04.260 only thing I've been doing differently is the breathing exercises. But I have been, you know,

00:03:08.440 walking and exercising and doing all the right stuff. So, and let me check in with you.

00:03:17.600 Honestly, I've always believed that I could get a lot of benefit out of breathing exercises

00:03:23.060 because all of the science, everybody who's tried it, it's very consistent, right? It's one of the

00:03:28.380 things you've been hearing for years, but it's hard to actually work it into your life. And the part

00:03:34.640 that I couldn't figure out is how to carve out, you know, a little breathing time or a little meditation

00:03:40.520 time. And I just realized I don't need to. Just whenever I'm bored, instead of my phone, I'll just do

00:03:47.980 some breathing exercises. It's been great so far. Wait till you see how that changes your life.

00:03:55.040 You know, interestingly, on a similar topic, I guess, Dr. Huberman, who is the, you know, the person

00:04:03.580 promoting this breathing exercise, and other things, he did some big live event at the Beacon

00:04:11.220 Theater in New York City. It was packed. I saw a picture of it. And I saw a tweet from Adam Dopamine,

00:04:18.720 who says, you'll know it's the golden age when educators are celebrities. And I thought, whoa, that's

00:04:26.480 kind of happening. Jordan Peterson is a celebrity educator, wouldn't you say? Yeah. You know, weirdly,

00:04:35.900 Joe Rogan's a celebrity educator, you know, in his own way, through guests. But, yeah, Andrew

00:04:42.960 Huberman is exactly that. He's famous for being somebody educating people. Yeah, Lex Friedman.

00:04:51.200 I think Tim Ferriss, maybe the original. But VD Hanson, right? So I like that. Now, I've used

00:05:04.080 other descriptors like internet dads and stuff. But I try to do the same thing. You know, I'm

00:05:10.980 trying to give you useful things and see if it helps your life. The best Fetterman joke

00:05:20.440 so far from Twitter user Blake Bee, or Bay, B-E-Y-E. And he tweeted this today. Biden slash

00:05:31.380 Federman 2024. It's a no-brainer. Yeah, that would be, that's the bumper sticker I want to

00:05:39.280 see. Biden Federman 2024. It's a no-brainer. It's tough to top that joke. I've been waiting

00:05:49.900 for somebody to capture just the right spirit of it. There it was. There it was. Now, many

00:05:58.940 of you probably saying to yourself, and I heard this a lot on social media, Federman, how can

00:06:04.860 those Democrats elect somebody who performed so poorly in public? And that was actually

00:06:14.900 my digital assistant talking to me for some reason. Anyway, so, but here's what I would

00:06:21.500 counter through that. Have you had that same feeling? That Federman doesn't look like he's

00:06:27.240 up to the job of being a senator? You've had that feeling, right? Let me give you some context.

00:06:32.440 Think about how many people are in Congress, okay? It's a lot. Add the Senate to the House.

00:06:41.720 How many are there? If you add them together, 535? Or is that just the House? 435 plus 100, yeah.

00:06:51.280 So there are 535 of them, all right? Now, here's the question that's going to mess with your head.

00:06:56.540 How many do you regularly see on TV? It's the same 12 or so, right? And do you know why you

00:07:08.460 see those same 12? And think about that on the Democrat side, that 12 would include Adam Schiff

00:07:17.120 and Eric Swalwell. It's the best we have. The 12 that you see, it's the best we have. Now, I think

00:07:31.500 some of those 12 were actually very strong, right? Tom Cotton, you see him a lot. Very strong

00:07:38.400 politician. Rand Paul, yeah, very strong. Ted Cruz, very strong. But I'm thinking that the fact that we

00:07:48.700 only see about six Republicans and about six Democrats, I have a theory that most of the rest

00:07:57.060 of them would be sort of a John Fetterman if you put him on TV. A little bit more of a John Fetterman

00:08:03.060 situation, if you know what I mean. Now, I'm only partially joking, but not really. There's a reason

00:08:12.780 you only see 12 of them. It's because they're the only ones who can do it or they're interested or

00:08:18.000 they come off well on TV. I feel like the rest of the senators are a generic guy and a generic woman,

00:08:25.220 right? Like all the rest of them are the guy with the, he has the right hair. That's about it. He's got

00:08:34.860 the voice and the hair. I'm the senator. I've got the right hair and I've got the right voice. And I'm

00:08:40.620 the senator from the great state of, I don't know, one of the ones you never hear about. I'm the

00:08:46.780 senator. I'm the great senator. And then if it's a woman, it just looks like a real estate agent who

00:08:52.220 aged out of the real estate job. All right. So Fetterman can't be any worse than the average.

00:09:04.320 And really, they mostly vote for their own team. So what's the difference? He'll be fine.

00:09:10.800 I continue to watch CNN for its indications. It's really moving to the middle and it's going to stay

00:09:18.120 there. And sure enough, sure enough. So I watched a clip on Don Lemon's morning show. And I know,

00:09:27.320 I know, as soon as I said Don Lemon, you said, well, okay, CNN's not moving to the middle there,

00:09:33.340 right? But watch me surprise you. Don Lemon actually said something I totally agree with.

00:09:41.500 All right. Here it comes. It's kind of mind-boggling too. This is actually mind-boggling.

00:09:47.380 Like, not only did Don Lemon say something that I agreed with, but you will too. You will too.

00:09:55.060 And it's going to make you angry, you know, if you're not a Don Lemon fan. You're going to be

00:10:00.780 angry how much you agree with him. Do you think I can do that? Do you think I can say something I can

00:10:06.860 quote Don Lemon from this morning and that my audience will agree with him? Do you think that's

00:10:13.260 possible? All right. They were talking, he and some others were talking about a clip of Lindsey

00:10:21.140 Graham giving a weirdly emotional plea for Herschel Walker. And Lindsey Graham looked like he was going

00:10:30.080 to cry. You know, some people were teasing him, looked like he was drunk in the morning. I don't think

00:10:34.780 he was drunk. But he was weirdly emotional. I mean, he's for, I didn't understand it, honestly.

00:10:44.080 I didn't really understand why Lindsey Graham was so emotional. But here's what he was selling.

00:10:50.660 He said that a vote for Herschel Walker would be, here I'm paraphrasing, would be inspirational for

00:10:58.400 black conservatives. And so voting for Herschel Walker is a much bigger importance because it

00:11:05.940 could help bring black conservatives into the conservative movement. And so it's much bigger

00:11:11.720 than, you know, Herschel Walker. And Van Jones said, you know, not a big fan of Herschel Walker.

00:11:23.920 And Van Jones says, if you're a black, if you're a black conservative and you want somebody to

00:11:31.560 admire, admire Tim Scott. And I thought, that's why I like Van Jones. Right? I've always liked Van

00:11:38.900 Jones. Because he at least, he at least puts things in a attempt to see both sides. You know,

00:11:46.920 he takes the side. He takes the side. That's okay. Everybody takes the side. But at least he shows the

00:11:52.720 other side. Right? When he talks about it. So he actually gave an example of a conservative that

00:11:59.040 black voters should look up to. And here's the thing. He didn't hedge it. Right? You'd expect

00:12:06.960 to hedge. It's like, well, you know, Tim Scott, that's the best you can do. Or just some kind of

00:12:12.280 hedge. But no. He just said, there's one you can look up to. So I said, okay, that's CNN looking

00:12:17.580 pretty open-minded. You know, at the same time, he was slamming Herschel Walker. And then Don

00:12:24.100 Lemon busts Lindsey Graham's appeal to Herschel Walker as being an inspiration to black voters.

00:12:31.500 And here's what Don Lemon said. Isn't that identity politics? Isn't that race, race politics?

00:12:40.760 Yup. Yup. Yup. That's what it was. That was exactly race politics. And now, how blown away are

00:12:53.780 you? How blown away are you that you're agreeing with Don Lemon right now on CNN? Now, he's pointing

00:13:02.360 out as a criticism, right? It's hypocritical. But as soon as I heard it, as soon as I heard

00:13:11.540 it, I said, ah, well, why am I agreeing with you? Because he's right. Yeah, it's actually

00:13:17.860 easy to agree with Don Lemon when he's right. Turns out it wasn't hard at all. He just had

00:13:22.640 to be right. Um, so Twitter, the Twitter situation is just so interesting. I, what a time to be

00:13:32.920 alive. So Twitter, depending on who you listen to, Twitter is either, you know, blowing up

00:13:39.420 or it's going to be the biggest thing ever. And I think it's totally a, you know, a Schrodinger's

00:13:45.980 cat situation where it's sort of both. Uh, and if you look at, um, Musk's pattern with

00:13:53.420 his other companies, they were all close to failure. I mean, really dire situation before

00:13:59.800 they became huge, you know, Tesla and space, SpaceX. Uh, and now he's, he's doing the same

00:14:07.120 play with Twitter. So he's told the employees, it's a dire situation using that word dire. Um,

00:14:14.360 it's reported today. He's even said bankruptcy is possible. And, you know, advertisers are

00:14:20.720 leaving and, and they're bleeding money, $4 million a day. And, uh, the executives are

00:14:26.600 quitting and, uh, allegedly fired one of them for being disrespectful. And, you know, now

00:14:32.220 all the executive is gone. So let me ask you this. Have you ever heard of a tech company

00:14:40.720 that didn't operate well because the executives left? Will it make any difference? Well, what

00:14:48.140 were they doing? I'll bet those executives weren't doing anything but bitching for the

00:14:52.380 last week. There's probably no difference. You know, as long as you have enough of the

00:14:57.960 technical people coming to work, you're pretty good. Now, uh, the head of sales left and I think

00:15:05.420 the marketing all get fired. So what happens when you fire everybody in marketing? Well,

00:15:11.780 if you're Elon Musk, uh, he reports that, uh, Twitter usage is at an all-time high. It's

00:15:18.860 at an all-time high. So he's getting all the interest he wants and who knows how much of

00:15:25.560 that will last. But people are bitching like crazy about feature changes and, you know, buying,

00:15:31.520 buying your little, uh, you know, Twitter, um, verification. And now there's going to be

00:15:38.220 a new thing where you're not only verified, which means you're a real person, but you're

00:15:42.540 also some kind of a notable person, uh, or something. I don't know. So, uh, people like

00:15:49.400 me, we, we got slammed back at level. I think it's going to stay that way. So in other words,

00:15:55.820 my, my sort of prestige, uh, for being a blue check person on Twitter, I think will be taken

00:16:03.680 away in the sense that I'll, you know, I'll fit in with anybody who's verified now. Is that good or

00:16:09.440 bad? What do you think? So not from my point of view, but from your point of view, from your point

00:16:16.300 of view, is it good or bad that I'm brought down to same level as everybody else? Most of you say

00:16:23.540 good. All right, I'm going to take, I'll take, I'll take your view, right? Obviously, obviously

00:16:29.520 it's not my self-interest. You can see that, right? It's not to my self-interest. I don't

00:16:36.160 like it. Don't like it. But I'm not going to stop using Twitter. And the fact that you all

00:16:41.520 like it, that's good enough for me. If it's good enough for all of you, that's good enough

00:16:47.140 for me. You know, I don't have to win every, like I don't have to win every game, right? Sometimes

00:16:52.680 you can win. That's okay. You win this one. That's all right with me. All right. Some

00:17:02.120 more interesting things. Did you hear that Biden was asked, and it looked like a planted

00:17:10.900 question from Bloomberg, the Bloomberg company, if Biden thinks that Musk's foreign business

00:17:20.900 connection should be investigated by the government? And then Biden gives this squinty, like evil

00:17:29.400 look, and then he takes a long time to answer, I think that might be worth looking into. Now,

00:17:36.980 of course, you know, he's got his own foreign connection problems that are well reported.

00:17:42.740 So there's the hypocrisy angle, but it's really chilling, isn't it? Because on one hand,

00:17:53.180 on one hand, I'm glad that my government would at least be, you know, sensitive to a billionaire,

00:18:00.440 you know, who owns a major communication platform. And if they have any foreign ties, there's a

00:18:06.800 Saudi investor who's part of the deal. So I don't mind that that gets looked into, but it doesn't

00:18:13.580 look like they're looking into it because it's a good thing to do. It really looks like they just

00:18:18.580 want to take him out, doesn't it? Like it doesn't feel like your government doing the government's job,

00:18:26.200 which I wouldn't mind at all if they were a little bit vigilant about a billionaire with a

00:18:31.800 major communication platform. That's not the worst thing in the world. But I think you need

00:18:38.340 something, I think you need something a little solid to, you know, maybe hang your hat out before

00:18:45.200 you scare the, and even saying it in public is, is super douchebaggy. What do you think of that?

00:18:53.000 Even if Biden believed that it should have happened, given that there's no specific claim of

00:18:58.960 impropriety, shouldn't he have shut the fuck up like a, like a citizen of the United States would

00:19:05.780 do, like any good citizen would do? If you only had a suspicion that there might be something wrong

00:19:14.340 without any, any actual, you know, detailed allegation, and you're the president of the United

00:19:20.920 States, you should shut the fuck up about a private citizen may or may not have done something

00:19:27.900 illegal. That's not cool at all. You know, maybe if he were a political foe, that's different.

00:19:33.720 But he's a private citizen. Yeah, you don't accuse him of maybe being associated with something

00:19:42.540 unsavory from the, literally from the lectern of the presidency. That's not cool. Not cool at all.

00:19:51.500 But I don't mind that the government is in fact looking into it. All right. So apparently Musk had

00:20:00.660 an all-hands meeting he called this morning, and he's telling them that one of the things he wants

00:20:05.120 to do with Twitter, you've heard before, is turn it into a peer-to-peer payment system.

00:20:11.040 Now, if you say to yourself, I don't think that Elon Musk can save Twitter because not enough people

00:20:20.360 will pay $8, apparently the math agrees with you. It doesn't look like that would work. If you say

00:20:27.540 you can't save Twitter because there won't be enough advertising revenue, it looks like you're

00:20:32.480 right. So it looks like if you added his subscriptions to his advertising fees, it doesn't come close to

00:20:39.580 paying the bills, even after the layoffs. Now, I'm open to a fact check on that, but I think that's

00:20:48.660 true, right? That it's not really close. Am I right? Now, how much money could he make as a payment system?

00:20:57.740 What would a brand new payment system be worth if you're already using it every day? It's got hundreds

00:21:10.100 of millions of users who are already the base. It's created by Elon Musk, who is one of the PayPal

00:21:16.500 creators. So clearly this is an industry that he has connections and probably more, he's probably as

00:21:24.980 qualified as anybody on the planet to build a payment system on top of Twitter. I mean, who else would

00:21:31.560 you pick for that, right? Now, imagine all of the things that you might want to use a payment system

00:21:38.460 for, such as everything you see on Twitter. Let me tell you what my experience is on Instagram.

00:21:47.160 So Instagram shows me an ad every day that I want to buy. Every day. Every single day I see an ad,

00:21:55.700 because they're really good at matching the ad. I mean, so it's like they're reading my mind.

00:22:01.820 And do you know why I don't buy it through Instagram? Because I don't have a payment system

00:22:08.000 that's like automatically connected. I don't know. Do they have even Google payment connected? I don't

00:22:13.160 know. But it looks like it takes me to the individual company's own payment system. And

00:22:20.480 then I have to put in all my information. So you know what I do? I go to Instagram, I see an ad for

00:22:25.700 something I want. And then I go to Amazon and I buy it. And Instagram loses that transaction.

00:22:34.300 Right? If Instagram let me click on the ad and pay it with a payment system that was built into

00:22:39.680 Instagram. And I already have, I have Google, what is it, Google Pay or whatever it is. I have that.

00:22:46.920 Right? So some kind of other system to connect in there. Now, do they, I'm surprised, yeah, the,

00:22:55.780 the Apple doesn't work on the individual payment sites though. Like if you go to the company's own

00:23:03.220 site, Apple payment doesn't seem to work all the time. Right? Anyway, so here's my point. The potential

00:23:12.880 for Twitter as a digital payment site is way bigger than its potential as social media. You get that,

00:23:22.020 right? Now, here's the next part. If you could use Venmo, but you think Venmo,

00:23:33.100 might turn you off for your political opinions, or you could use the Twitter payment system and

00:23:40.440 you're pretty sure you won't get turned off for your political opinions, which one are you

00:23:45.340 going to use? Do you see it yet? A Twitter payment system would be almost automatic for anybody who

00:23:58.140 didn't want to use a system that was going to penalize you for being a conservative. Do you know

00:24:03.380 how much money Elon Musk could make with a payment system that wasn't going to kick you off for your

00:24:10.240 opinion? Nobody else is making one, are they? Now, now let, let me take you a little further.

00:24:18.140 If you're one of the richest people in the world, one of the things you should own

00:24:22.420 would be a satellite network that does internet. Check. Got it. Got that. You also need a media,

00:24:34.420 a media platform. That's Twitter. What's the, what's the last thing you need that you really,

00:24:42.200 really need? Not Mars. No, not Neuralink, although Neuralink would be important. No,

00:24:48.380 not an army. No, you need a bank. Elon Musk, I think, is going to be your bank. Now, I don't

00:25:02.420 know that, but I don't think he'd be happy with just being another peer-to-peer payment company.

00:25:07.720 I think he would, he would just go full bank. If he goes full bank, there is no limit to how

00:25:14.380 much money he can make. Yeah. Now you're talking a trillion. You're talking like as, as big a,

00:25:23.060 you know, a Wells Fargo size valuation. So the, the, the part that the average non-business person

00:25:32.160 sees here is that he's in total trouble. You know, he's bleeding money and people are quitting and

00:25:38.320 they're all mad at him and the features aren't working and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:25:44.340 But you're blinded to the fact that combining Twitter with a payment system might be one of the

00:25:49.720 biggest, most valuable companies ever created in the history of civilization. So there's that.

00:25:58.520 There's that. All right. So apparently on CBS, uh, on a show called The Good Fight, which I've never

00:26:08.020 seen, um, there was a plot line in which the real governor DeSantis is accused, falsely accused.

00:26:17.940 So even, even in the show, even in the show, it's treated as a false accusation, but you don't find

00:26:23.800 out and it's false for a while that there was some like sexual impropriety. And the fact that a TV show

00:26:30.640 would do a fictional story about an accusation of a real person with a sexual accusation is probably

00:26:38.540 one of the worst things you'll ever see. Now they do treat it as a character made it up. That doesn't

00:26:46.020 help. That doesn't help. No, because once that's in your head, it's paired, it's paired in your head

00:26:53.240 with, that's just not cool. That's not cool. So I guess people were complaining about that and

00:27:00.220 should. I saw a, uh, somebody referred to, uh, Biden's idea that he would, uh, uh, do a student

00:27:08.520 loan. Uh, I guess Fox News calls it a handout. What's it called? Debt forgiveness, but it's not

00:27:15.760 really that. It's just moving the debt to somebody else. So, so Fox News calls it a student loan

00:27:21.900 handout. All right, let's call it a handout. Um, but it was the perfect bait and switch, wasn't

00:27:30.020 it? The, the only thing better than buying votes is buying votes and not paying for it

00:27:38.240 or buying votes with, uh, the money from your, your opponents or something. Biden actually

00:27:46.420 found a way to convince idiots that he was going to cancel the debt, even though everybody

00:27:51.220 told them it was illegal and couldn't happen. And he just, oh, well, I'm doing it anyway.

00:27:56.460 And then all the people's like, oh, vote for that free money. And then he gets a lot of

00:28:00.320 young people votes who are like trying to get their debt canceled. I'll bet that's a big

00:28:04.120 story. Part of the, uh, young female. Oh, has anybody said this yet? Uh, young single

00:28:11.120 women are more likely to have worthless college degrees than any other group. Am I right?

00:28:16.980 Let me say it again. The, the segment that is most likely to have a worthless college degree,

00:28:24.740 in other words, somebody who can't pay back their debt is single women because they don't

00:28:30.600 have a husband to help. You know, that's not sexist. You have just a partner to help. And,

00:28:36.620 uh, they're, they're more likely to have, you know, taken a less useful commercial, uh, kind

00:28:44.620 of a major. By the way, I, uh, I, I might be operating from ignorance and bigotry, but

00:28:52.800 wouldn't the, wouldn't the data back me on this? I'm just spitballing here, but, and has

00:28:59.180 anybody mentioned that yet? Have you heard anybody in the news yet mentioned the connection

00:29:04.200 that the young, young women are the most likely to have, um, debt that they can't pay back from

00:29:10.120 college? So this was really kind of a brilliant play by the Democrats to promise this thing.

00:29:16.200 And then they get the credit for trying, even though they had to know it couldn't work.

00:29:22.580 You know what, when I say that the Democrats outplayed the Republicans, they really did.

00:29:27.980 They really did. The, the Democrats outperformed in the, the weasel tricks and the persuasion and

00:29:34.140 stuff. And, and let me, let me say if, if the Republicans had done the same thing, I'd still

00:29:39.920 say it's a weasel play, but effective. It worked. So there's that. A good bait and switch.

00:29:50.120 All right. I know what you want to, do you want me to talk about, uh, Trump?

00:29:55.860 All right. So here's the basic story. Uh, Trump did a lengthy, uh, attack on DeSantis.

00:30:02.780 This, if you want to call it an attack on truth, social, and it, you know, bleeds over into the

00:30:09.160 other, uh, platforms and Trump's story. I'll, I'll just summarize it is that Trump is the reason

00:30:17.300 DeSantis is successful because sometime in the past when DeSantis was struggling to get elected

00:30:23.860 for some lower office, I guess, uh, Trump, uh, Trump backed him. And that was the difference

00:30:30.300 according to Trump. And now, uh, Ron DeSanctimonious, as he calls him yet again, uh, is being sort

00:30:38.040 of a disloyal traitor to Trump for, I think, not ruling out a run for presidency. Right.

00:30:46.000 And I think that's all it is. And then, all right. So you've got, uh, Trump's turning on

00:30:52.020 DeSantis. And then, uh, Trump also turned on Governor Youngkin. And so today he, he mocked,

00:31:01.200 uh, Governor Youngkin. And he said, he, he printed his name as two parts, Young and then K-I-N-kin.

00:31:08.560 And then in parentheses, he said, sounds like a Chinese name. And that's when I tweeted, I'm out.

00:31:16.740 I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm not going to do this again. Not going to do it again. Nope. Not

00:31:28.840 going to do that. Um, here, here's my personal thinking, right? And this is purely personal.

00:31:36.540 I, I lost about a third of my income for years and probably forever for backing Trump. Backing

00:31:45.180 Trump was really fucking expensive, both socially and economically. I mean, it was just disaster.

00:31:52.800 But I also thought it was something the country needed. And so I thought, well, I can afford it.

00:31:59.580 And so it felt like I was on the right side, right? The right side of history and stuff. So you can do

00:32:04.780 a little bit more, take a little bit more pain if you're on the right side. But there are now

00:32:12.260 alternatives to Trump, DeSantis being the obvious one, that make his contribution not essential.

00:32:21.060 In other words, policy-wise, Trump kind of established, you know, what is and is not a

00:32:27.600 reasonable policy. And I think other Republicans are going to follow that example. So you get

00:32:34.020 now Trump policies without Trump. And here's the thing that makes me crazy. I don't know if Trump

00:32:45.280 doesn't know when he says things that people will easily interpret as racist. I don't know if he

00:32:50.960 doesn't know. But whether he knows that he's doing it or not, I don't want to be part of it anymore.

00:32:58.420 Because he's at an age where I can't really endorse a president at that age. And I don't want to be

00:33:06.140 embarrassed by him anymore. Right? I don't want somebody to say, he said that racist thing. What

00:33:11.680 do you say, Scott? I want to say, I don't care. I don't think he's going to be president again.

00:33:18.540 Now, if you've taken the temperature on social media, I've seen people who are saying, bye, they're

00:33:27.860 already checking out. So if you check the temperature on social media, you can see that people have

00:33:32.720 really turned on Trump in a way that we never saw before. Yeah, we never saw before. And if you were

00:33:41.180 the only option, that would be a different conversation. But he's not. Now, here's, so

00:33:48.020 there are two things I don't like him. When he said that young kin sounded like a Chinese name,

00:33:53.380 I think what he was doing is saying that he has some connections to China that, you know,

00:33:58.560 he wants you to worry about or something. But the way it comes off is that other way. It's

00:34:04.440 like somehow ethnicity matters to something, then it shouldn't. So, and then the other thing is that

00:34:12.600 he attacked two governors on his own team who really didn't have it coming. And that's different than

00:34:23.800 what we've seen from Trump before. The thing you liked about Trump was attacking the other team.

00:34:28.440 Now, Trump would say, I'm sure, but you watched me attack all those Republicans in the primaries

00:34:35.920 in 2016, right? He attacked all those Republicans. Nobody complained about that.

00:34:42.080 But that was in the primary. That was in the primary. If DeSantis says he's running for president,

00:34:50.100 oh, yeah, fine. The moment that DeSantis says he's running for president, yeah, whatever he says,

00:34:56.400 fine. That's all part of the process. And same with young kin. But if they're not running against

00:35:02.020 you and they're on the same team, that just doesn't feel right, does it? And I'm not necessarily

00:35:10.640 backing either of those two people. I'm just saying it just doesn't feel the same as it felt

00:35:15.120 in the early days of Trump. Now, here's the only analysis that I think matters for this Trump-DeSantis

00:35:25.320 thing. And I saw a tweet on it from Unhoodwinked, a Twitter account. And Unhoodwinked says this,

00:35:32.600 there's no one who would vote for Trump that would not vote for DeSantis, but that doesn't

00:35:38.020 work the other way around. That's all you need to know. Do you agree? Now, don't treat it as a real

00:35:46.460 absolute, because there are no such things as absolutes like this. But DeSantis doesn't really have

00:35:53.220 any reason to reject him. Does he? If you're a conservative, he has no reason to reject him.

00:36:00.300 But Trump has reasons. Reasons to love him, which I totally get, but reasons to reject him.

00:36:08.700 So now here's the counter argument. I'll give you the counter argument. The counter argument is that

00:36:13.620 Trump won, I think it was white Rust Belt types, and nobody won them before, and you would need

00:36:20.780 them to win. I don't know that that argument works anymore. Because I don't know that those Rust Belt

00:36:27.460 people were voting exactly for his personality. Maybe they were at the beginning. But I think they

00:36:33.880 like the, I think they like the policies. So if they think they can get the Trump policies without being

00:36:40.480 associated with a racist, I feel like that might be a better deal. And I don't think Trump is racist,

00:36:47.500 by the way, but in terms of how he's being framed. All right. So here's some more people turning on

00:36:56.540 people. All right. So Trump says DeSantis turned on Trump. So now Trump's turning on DeSantis.

00:37:02.420 Meanwhile, Rupert Murdoch, according to the news, is allegedly turning on Trump through his media organs of

00:37:13.480 Fox News and Wall Street Journal and The Post, I guess. And yeah, there's some reporting that Murdoch is

00:37:21.640 anti-Trump. New York Post, yeah. Have you seen it? Have you watched Fox News in the last day or two?

00:37:32.420 Would you say that Fox News has gone pro-DeSantis and anti-Trump? Yes or no? In your opinion,

00:37:39.800 has Fox News gone pro-DeSantis and anti-Trump? Yeah. So Tucker Carlson is going strong,

00:37:48.900 DeSantis, and I think Hannity too. It looks like it. Yeah. So I would say that the evidence

00:37:55.440 supports that hypothesis. But we have to speculate because we can't read Murdoch's head.

00:38:02.420 It looks like it. All right. And the buzz is all the conservative commentators are,

00:38:14.620 you know, Trump is dead and Trump is over.

00:38:16.720 So now, Trump has a big announcement coming up. Do you think he'll go ahead and announce that he's

00:38:28.600 running? Or will the feedback that he got this week convince him to not run, which would be the

00:38:37.020 most amazing mind F of all time? I feel like maybe he has to run to keep Truth Social alive. Because who's

00:38:46.980 going to go to Truth Social if Trump doesn't run? That would be a tough business barrier to get past.

00:38:54.380 Yeah. You would? Yeah, we'll see. Now, can I give myself some wiggle room in case I'm wrong about

00:39:05.380 everything? All right. I'm going to give myself some wiggle room. You have to remember I did this

00:39:10.220 so that later when you call me to the woodshed, I'll have that little excuse. Here's my little

00:39:18.460 excuse. Nothing about Trump is predictable. Okay. So if three months from now, Trump is saying all the

00:39:30.260 right things and DeSantis said that he's not running, for example, and it looks like whoever's

00:39:37.880 going to run on the other side is a complete waste of carbon. You know, I might have to say what Trump

00:39:47.060 is doing right. But I don't know if I can say I'm going to be a supporter. But I'm going to be

00:39:52.920 practical. I mean, I'm going to do what makes sense for America as I see it. Wherever that takes me.

00:40:00.240 All right. So Georgia runoff, Walker and Warnock are going to do a runoff. Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:40:10.440 The Georgia race was very close, which is why there's a runoff. And nobody's complaining about

00:40:17.780 irregularities, are they, in Georgia? Did I miss it? Is anybody complaining about election irregularities

00:40:25.100 in Georgia? Because it would be amazing if they're not. Right? Some are. Stacey Abrams was

00:40:35.440 complaining. Is she the only one? I don't know that there are any specifics. I think Stacey Abrams

00:40:42.060 was more complaining about the rules in Georgia, not about anybody cheating. I don't think she made

00:40:48.520 a comment about any specific irregularity. Yeah. Wait, Glenn, Glenn Youngkin has an engineering

00:40:56.300 degree? Hello. I just found my next president. All right. Yeah, what's going on here? Yeah,

00:41:10.860 so I feel like that's good news, isn't it? If Georgia did an election that was that close so far,

00:41:16.080 and people are not, at least no credible people are complaining about it. Now let's talk about

00:41:21.740 Arizona. All right, here's a little knowledge question for you. The reason that Arizona's vote

00:41:28.600 count for governor and senate, and more, I guess, the reason that it's delayed, you all know,

00:41:37.540 the reason it's delayed is that Arizona has different rules than other states. All right. Why? Go.

00:41:44.800 Why does Arizona have different rules than other states? The most obvious question, right?

00:41:53.260 Now, give me real reasons. Not the funny reasons. They're idiots. They're cheaters. Blah, blah, blah.

00:41:58.700 Hobbs. No, corruption. No, no. Those are all the easy reasons. No, not that. Don't give me the easy

00:42:05.620 ones. Give me the real reasons. So it turns out there's actually a real reason. You want to hear

00:42:18.300 the real reason? And this, I want to see if any, if you've even heard it, right? Because this was

00:42:26.300 what was bothering me. I follow the news every day. Like, I follow it pretty closely. I didn't know the

00:42:32.400 reason. I didn't know the reason that Arizona does it differently. But there is a reason. And it's

00:42:38.480 actually pretty good. And so far, not one of you knows the reason. No? Well, signature verification

00:42:47.720 is part of the reason, yes. That's not what I was going for. Here's the reason. They let you vote

00:42:55.420 absentee up until election day so that you don't have to stand in line to vote. They've

00:43:02.820 eliminated the need to stand in line to vote, but you can still vote on election day. You

00:43:07.400 just drop it in a box. Right? Now, is that a good reason? Let me tell you one of the reasons

00:43:16.000 that people don't vote. One of the reasons people don't vote is because they don't want to

00:43:22.440 wait in line. That's actually a pretty good reason. Isn't it? Isn't that a pretty good

00:43:29.280 reason? The trouble is that it makes them, you know, out of line with the rest of the

00:43:33.740 country and everybody complains. But you could almost... Here, let me give you my overall opinion.

00:43:45.680 If I were to engineer the system myself, I would say, let's keep that benefit, but make

00:43:51.760 everybody the same. So we'll have everybody vote on election day, any way they want, with

00:43:57.760 paper ballot or anything else. But you say, nobody gets any results for a week. You just

00:44:03.340 say, we're not going to give you any results for a week. That's our new system. Then you've

00:44:08.240 eliminated waiting in line, which has got to be a big part of the friction. I mean, I wouldn't

00:44:14.280 wait in line. Anyway, so there are some other differences in Arizona. One is that they've

00:44:21.500 got pushback in prior elections, and so they're going really, really extreme to make sure that

00:44:27.680 they're doing signature verification correctly. It takes longer. What do you think of that?

00:44:33.540 What do you think of them doing more aggressive signature verification, but it might take longer?

00:44:38.660 It might be good. It might be good. Like, on paper, that's a pretty good thing. Have I ever told you

00:44:49.680 the concept of malicious compliance? Malicious compliance? You know what I'm talking about?

00:44:57.460 Right? I think that's what's happening. All right, here's the Dilbert filter on the Arizona situation.

00:45:03.780 Take yourself back to the prior election. All right, you're an election worker, and you're just like

00:45:10.940 a, you're not a leader, like you're just, you're a lower level, you know, functionary, and you just got

00:45:17.640 shit on by everybody for not doing a careful enough job of signature verification. I mean, you really,

00:45:25.860 really got beat up on that signature verification thing. Next election comes along, and nothing's changed,

00:45:33.780 except you got in trouble last time for not doing signature verification carefully enough. What

00:45:40.200 you going to do? You're going to maliciously comply, because they probably asked for a lot more

00:45:46.980 resources. Probably, right? Probably got denied. It's now the same fuckers who are pissed off because

00:45:56.480 they got shit on for not doing enough verification are giving people exactly what they asked for.

00:46:03.780 Here's your, here's your careful verification. If you want careful verification, I'll stare at this

00:46:09.700 fucking ballot for an hour. I'm getting paid by the hour. Let me ask you this. Do you think the

00:46:16.340 people who are staring at the signature verifications, do they get paid by the job or by the hour?

00:46:23.720 What would you guess? If you had to guess? Of course, they're being paid by the hour. Of course. Of

00:46:31.440 course they are. They're being paid by the hour. And they'll get in trouble if they go fast. But

00:46:38.200 they'll make their, they'll make all the people who complained about them look like assholes if they go

00:46:43.420 slow. So what are they going to do? Malicious compliance. I've talked about this before.

00:46:49.540 You see it a lot. When people at a lower level get shit on, they start doing the job the way it was

00:46:56.300 designed to be done, which is inefficiently. Because if you follow all the requirements of the job, you

00:47:02.740 can't even do the job. I first learned this when I worked for the bank. I was a bank teller. I've told

00:47:08.300 this story before. And I got in trouble for, I don't know, not checking two IDs or something. I checked

00:47:14.640 one ID for some lower dollar amount. And, you know, I got in trouble. And my, my boss said,

00:47:23.280 you know, you got to follow the rules. Like these rules are here for a reason. It's two IDs. And I

00:47:28.460 argued something along the lines of, this is a regular customer. This is somebody I deal with like

00:47:34.300 once a week for like, you know, months. I know this person. I practically know their account number.

00:47:39.380 So I took one ID in that case. And the boss says, but that's not the rule. The rule is two IDs. You

00:47:46.940 got to follow the rules. So I started following all the bank rules, which resulted in me sending

00:47:53.340 almost every customer to a supervisor because I couldn't handle the transaction. All I had to do

00:48:00.220 was follow the rules and I couldn't do my job. And the line just went out the door. And eventually

00:48:06.480 my boss came over to me and she said, you know, you're like, you're not getting it done. I said,

00:48:12.920 I'm getting it done. I'm doing everything exactly the way you taught me. I'm following every rule.

00:48:17.640 And these customers do not have proper ID. So I'm sending every one of them to you.

00:48:23.040 That is what you asked me to do. That is your, that's your system. And then she basically whispered to

00:48:30.280 me, you see all these customers from Chevron, because we're, we're next to a Chevron headquarters.

00:48:37.020 So we got all the Chevron high paid people. She says, you see that little pin that they're wearing?

00:48:44.300 So I think it was maybe a tie pin or something. So a lot of the people had like a five year,

00:48:48.480 a 10 year, a 20 year pin. You could actually tell how long they'd work for Chevron by their clothing.

00:48:53.860 They'd have a little pin with their length of service. She goes, if you see that little pin,

00:48:59.560 he goes, they're fine. That's like the opposite of, you know, the very opposite of bank rules.

00:49:06.580 So basically she told me to follow the rules or I'd be fired. So I followed the rules and she learned

00:49:12.720 the hard way that no customer was served. And then she said, don't follow the rules. Just,

00:49:19.100 just don't follow the rules. It's the only way we could get this done.

00:49:21.660 So that might be happening in Arizona. That's what it looks like.

00:49:27.600 All right. Um, but it annoys me that the reporting on Arizona is just sort of generically,

00:49:35.640 why don't they do a better job? I feel like you need to dig down at least as far as I dug down,

00:49:42.220 right? Weren't you also wondering what the hell's going on? Turns out there's a reason they don't

00:49:48.620 like lines and it's probably malicious compliance. And I think they had a record number of, uh,

00:49:54.820 ballots that need signature verification too. So it's just a bigger load than normal, which none of

00:50:00.540 the, by the way, to be clear, none of this explains why they can't just do it the way Florida does it.

00:50:07.100 You just have longer lines and, you know, some other trade-offs, but they could do it.

00:50:10.840 All right. Let's talk about Ukraine. It does look like Russia genuinely is pulling back from

00:50:18.300 the Kursan Oblast region, but they're at least, it looks like all they're doing is getting on the

00:50:25.120 other side of the river. So the river, you know, was like a natural defensive point. So it looks like

00:50:31.500 they're just taking a winter defensive posture. So I'm not, I'm not sure we can learn too much

00:50:37.140 about what's happening at the moment. It looks like both sides are making their, their winter

00:50:42.720 strategy setups, you know, so it's hard to know what's going on. Um, but I guess the United States

00:50:51.100 has twisted the arm of Zelensky to at least say what he would accept. Now I'm operating from memory.

00:50:58.760 So Zelensky said he would consider negotiating with Putin, but he would require

00:51:06.180 that at the very least Putin gives back the territory that they, he took this year.

00:51:12.360 Interestingly, that would not include Crimea. And I don't know why I'm not seeing a ton of

00:51:17.900 reporting that Ukraine has apparently given up on trying to get Crimea back. Now, none of us thought

00:51:24.920 that that was, you know, likely to happen. I don't think many people thought it, but, um,

00:51:31.240 isn't that a gigantic change? And fact check me, he did say that, right? He, he said he's happy

00:51:38.180 getting back what they took this year. So they would, Russia would keep Crimea. Yeah. And I think

00:51:45.300 most people thought that's where it would end up anyway. Right. Then I think he's asking for a quote

00:51:51.160 guarantees that it won't happen again. Now that's a good thing to ask for because it's vague.

00:51:56.400 So, you know, there's room to work with that, you know, the guarantees. Now the guarantees could

00:52:03.620 be that Russia says, all right, you can have NATO. Maybe that's the guarantee. Or maybe they'd

00:52:10.960 say we'll remove all, you know, offensive weapons or something. There's probably a way to get

00:52:16.500 it. Then, uh, wasn't there also something about reparations? Can, give me a fact check of

00:52:23.600 that. Did Zelensky say there would have to be reparations? Because if he did, that's the

00:52:29.880 right thing. Yeah, he did. So that's exactly the right thing to ask for. Why? Why should

00:52:34.960 he ask for reparations? Go. Why should he ask for reparations? Well, one reason is that

00:52:44.080 he should get reparations. But what's the other reason? It's something to trade away. Yeah.

00:52:50.540 It's, uh, reparations are a, an invisible, like imaginary asset. So he can imagine them into

00:52:57.460 existence like Trump. Trump was the expert at that. Imagining something into existence and then

00:53:03.180 trading it away. To trade a nothing for something. What Zelensky wants is his territory back.

00:53:10.140 And that would be the win of all wins. I mean, he would be a legend forever if he did that

00:53:15.000 and got a permanent peace. So reparations would be nice. You know, how awesome would reparations

00:53:22.280 be? But that's not going to happen. It just gives them something to give up. So if you were to read

00:53:29.240 the ways Zelensky, um, is responding, that does look exactly like somebody who's serious about peace

00:53:36.140 to me. But as somebody else said, uh, it makes no sense to get, to actually agree to peace while the

00:53:44.700 Ukrainians are gaining territory. However, will they keep gaining territory in the winter?

00:53:52.620 So I'm, I'm not, I don't know enough about the military capabilities in the winter

00:53:57.420 to know the following answer. Are we guaranteed going to have four months of nobody changing anything?

00:54:05.660 Because nobody's going to do much in the winter? So we're kind of guaranteed to a four-month

00:54:10.140 stalemate, right? Yes or no? I see a no. I'm not sure if we're smart enough to know this, are we?

00:54:20.060 A little bit of disagreement? Uh, winter favors Ukraine, somebody says. Favors, okay.

00:54:27.820 But is that enough that they will get any serious territorial gain? I suppose you can just keep

00:54:33.740 shelling in the winter, right? I guess that still works, yeah. So if, if Russia is still within the

00:54:39.900 artillery range, then Ukraine will keep pounding them. Yeah, that makes sense. Now, uh, next question.

00:54:49.340 Are the Russian supply lines for food, especially, are they more, uh, more vulnerable in the winter?

00:54:57.420 It feels like it, right? Is that an obvious question or not obvious? Because I would think

00:55:04.060 that the offensive ability might be limited in some ways, just as everything's limited in the winter.

00:55:09.740 I don't know. But, but I feel like the Ukrainians might be able to starve the Russians out if they

00:55:15.820 have the, the high Mars system that can, you know, hit their, hit their food, uh, shipments.

00:55:21.340 But on the other hand, on the other hand, on the other hand, on the other hand, it seems like getting

00:55:25.980 food to soldiers when you're, you know, you're in Russian territory, it feels like that's the most

00:55:32.460 doable thing. You know, maybe they just have to do an airlift or something. I doubt you could starve

00:55:36.780 them, actually. Uh, as long as Russia is a functioning country. All right. Um, I would say that where

00:55:45.740 it's, where it's, where it's heading is they'll probably have some serious negotiations this winter,

00:55:52.220 but nobody's going to, neither side would agree if they think they're going to have the advantage

00:55:56.460 after the winter's over. So would either Ukraine or Russia have a reason to believe

00:56:01.980 that they would have the advantage in the spring? Would that give Russia time to recoup and give them

00:56:10.540 an advantage? So does Russia have the advantage by just waiting and just continuing to turn the lights

00:56:17.500 out in Ukraine and bomb their power stations? I don't know. Probably yes. Uh, I guess, uh, I don't know

00:56:25.900 enough to say yes or no on that. All right. That ladies and gentlemen is the fascinating live stream

00:56:35.260 for today. I think I've delivered on my promise. Not only have I paired waiting in line with breathing

00:56:40.540 exercises, which will change your life. Uh, but I think I've given you some takes you're not going to

00:56:47.580 see anywhere else. All right. And is there any topic I missed? Any topic I missed? Let's see.

00:57:04.140 Oh, let's talk about, uh, the systems. Yesterday I optimistically tweeted that it was sort of

00:57:12.380 breathtaking to watch all of our systems self-correct. And I mean that. So yesterday, the, uh, did we get

00:57:20.220 a good, uh, inflation report or something yesterday? What was it that drove the stock market up? It was a

00:57:26.380 good CPI report. Now I wouldn't believe, you know, one CPI report. I don't know that it was the election

00:57:34.780 because it, the election would have, we would have seen that the day before. Yeah. So we were 7.7,

00:57:42.700 now 7.9. So heading in the right direction. All right. Here's what I think we are. I think our

00:57:48.940 election system had the most transparency we've ever seen, uh, thanks to her meat and her army of lawyers

00:57:57.820 and, and the Republicans having more access to, uh, to be watchers. So I think our election system

00:58:05.100 might be the best it's been. I think that having a, uh, a balanced government is exactly what the

00:58:13.020 public wanted. I think the public self-corrected the government by, by taking its power away. I think

00:58:20.380 that's what happened. So that's good. I think the stock market is seeing the correction. I think our

00:58:27.100 supply chains are working their way, you know, are figuring their way out. I think we are decoupling

00:58:34.220 from China. I think China's in trouble. And almost all of our systems are self-correcting.

00:58:43.820 And it's sort of amazing to watch it. I think the education system is self-correcting. If you saw,

00:58:49.420 Corey DeAngelis was taking a, uh, victory, um, victory lap, and I think he deserved it.

00:58:55.740 Because it turns out that the, uh, pro-education choice people, the school choice people,

00:59:01.900 those candidates did unusually well. Right? And I think he gets credit for that.

00:59:08.620 So, so our education system is self-correcting, slowly. Our inflation is coming down, slowly.

00:59:15.900 Um, the, the Ukraine war, to me, it looks less and less like nuclear war, and more and more like

00:59:24.620 Russia is permanently degraded. Is that a problem? Financially, it is. But if they don't nuke us,

00:59:32.940 I don't know. TikTok revealed that, uh, we don't know that TikTok had any impact on the election,

00:59:39.260 but we can say for sure that the channel is obvious now. That the biggest group of voters,

00:59:45.580 the young women, are also the target market of TikTok. So if China wanted to change an election,

00:59:52.140 they can do it. Here, here's a comment I heard. I won't say where I heard this, but, um, apparently,

00:59:59.820 if you're a TikTok user, you will not see much about the immigration problem. Now, I'd need a

01:00:06.380 confirmation of that. But I don't think TikTok is, is sending a lot of, hey, immigration's problem.

01:00:13.100 Look at all these people streaming across the border. But I'll bet, I'll bet you're seeing plenty

01:00:18.700 on abortion rights. Now, is that because of the algorithm? It could be the algorithm is doing what

01:00:25.780 it's supposed to do, which is, it might be young women are very interested in abortion and much less

01:00:31.820 interested in the border, perhaps, perhaps. So maybe the algorithm is, you know, just doing what

01:00:37.020 it's supposed to do. But the problem is that China can control that algorithm. And if they did or did

01:00:44.060 not do anything to interfere with their elections, they can. If you know they can, and you can see the

01:00:52.140 complete path, then TikTok has revealed its soft underbelly. And now it can be destroyed. But until

01:01:01.180 this election, you couldn't see the direct path of how TikTok is influencing the group that influenced

01:01:07.180 the elections. And if you get caught up on the, on the question of whether that made the difference,

01:01:14.300 I'm not claiming it did. I don't see direct evidence that it did. I'm claiming that there's

01:01:20.220 now direct evidence that it would be easy. It would be simple. And you wouldn't know the difference.

01:01:28.700 Is Scott a narcissist? We've been through that. Of course I am.

01:01:34.780 Can you really do this job and not be a narcissist? I feel, I think everybody who has a, who willingly

01:01:41.260 takes a public exposure type of job at some level must like it, right? So always a little bit.

01:01:50.700 Yeah. But there are two kinds of narcissists. There's a good kind and the bad kind. The good

01:01:54.860 kind tries to get credit for doing things that are good for you. So, you know, there's a reason

01:02:02.860 that people get like awards for things. It's because when people feel good helping other people,

01:02:07.980 they'll do more of it. So if, if being a narcissist and liking to get credit for doing good things,

01:02:16.460 if that allows me to do more good things, then don't complain. But the other kind is more of a

01:02:23.340 destructive narcissist. It's sort of an, everything's about them and there's no conversation after that.

01:02:28.940 Uh, yeah. Andrew Tate is going to fight Jake Paul. Is that true? Interesting.

01:02:50.140 All right. Oh, Atavium, you're too awesome. Um, Tainted Love.

01:03:08.780 All right. I think I've covered everything, right? Andrew Taint. Yeah. All right. Ladies and gentlemen

01:03:17.740 gentlemen of YouTube and Spotify, thanks for joining. Talk to you soon.
