Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1931 Scott Adams： Let's Talk About The Death Of ESG, FTX And Biased Fact-Checking On Twitter

00:00:00.000 For the highlight of civilization, I call it Coffee with Scott Adams because, well, there'll be some of that.

00:00:07.660 And if you'd like today's experience to be something you will never forget,

00:00:13.560 all you need is a cuppa or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask,

00:00:18.740 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:23.620 I like coffee.

00:00:25.460 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:28.720 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:30.740 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:33.940 And it happens now.

00:00:34.780 Go.

00:00:40.780 Yeah.

00:00:42.240 Savor it.

00:00:43.240 Savor it.

00:00:47.520 All right.

00:00:48.240 Well, I saw on Twitter today, so it must be true,

00:00:53.680 that close to 80 million Americans are on psychiatric drugs.

00:00:58.720 Does that sound right?

00:01:02.040 Audio's looking good.

00:01:03.400 Thanks, Paul.

00:01:06.000 Does that even sound possible?

00:01:08.580 80 million people?

00:01:10.740 Now, 80 million is the number that voted for Trump, right?

00:01:16.500 Right?

00:01:16.560 Hey, funny is funny.

00:01:25.560 It doesn't matter who I'm making fun of.

00:01:27.920 Funny is funny.

00:01:29.700 I think it's funny that there are 80 million people on psychiatric drugs,

00:01:33.020 and that's the same number of people who supported Trump.

00:01:35.760 I don't know.

00:01:36.240 I just think that's funny.

00:01:39.380 Yeah, it's not the same people, but it's funny.

00:01:41.340 Except, is there any doubt who owns us?

00:01:48.160 I don't think there's any doubt who owns us at this point.

00:01:50.760 The pharma companies just own us.

00:01:53.420 They can make you take anything they want.

00:01:57.040 Try saying this to your doctor the next time you get a prescription.

00:02:01.300 Is there any data that proves that this will help me?

00:02:03.800 Because I don't believe any scientific data about drugs anymore.

00:02:08.860 Of course, if you take my advice, you'll all die from bad medical advice from a cartoonist.

00:02:14.220 Don't take my medical advice.

00:02:16.340 Also, don't take my financial advice.

00:02:19.160 So the two things you should seriously ignore me about, finances and health.

00:02:25.320 At least medical, you know, medical stuff.

00:02:28.400 But I'll still talk about it.

00:02:29.740 I'll just know that, oh, 81 is for Biden?

00:02:35.520 But weren't there also 80 million for Trump?

00:02:42.380 Oh, 74 million for Trump.

00:02:45.120 Oh, that's way funnier then.

00:02:47.980 Thank you for that correction.

00:02:49.580 All right, well, it looks like we have a cleaner joke now.

00:02:52.820 Cleaner in terms of it fits together better.

00:02:55.460 So it's funnier if it's the Democrats.

00:02:57.780 That actually is funnier.

00:02:59.740 And not because, you know, just taking sides.

00:03:02.660 But it does seem funnier. 0.97

00:03:05.080 Because I think the Democrats are far more likely to be on psychiatric drugs.

00:03:10.360 Can somebody give me a fact check on that?

00:03:15.500 I'm going to assume that this is true. 0.92

00:03:18.440 And I'm not saying there aren't plenty of crazy people on the right. 0.98

00:03:30.860 There are crazy people everywhere. 0.84

00:03:32.820 But I feel like there's probably a significant difference.

00:03:37.040 Should be.

00:03:37.540 I mean, everything I know about everything suggests there would be.

00:03:41.920 But we'll see.

00:03:43.120 Anyway, so don't take my financial advice.

00:03:45.640 But it's hard to imagine a better time to own American stocks.

00:03:50.480 But don't take my financial advice, seriously.

00:03:56.440 I'm not good at calling bottoms or anything.

00:03:58.700 But I would definitely not want to be out of the stock market.

00:04:02.000 Because where are you going to put your money?

00:04:04.400 Crypto?

00:04:04.840 Real estate?

00:04:09.520 I don't know.

00:04:10.880 It feels like there's no place else to put it.

00:04:13.900 And the stock market, in theory, should handle some of your inflation, right?

00:04:20.120 Because those companies need to raise their prices.

00:04:23.480 It gets baked into their earnings.

00:04:24.800 So, in theory, if you own stocks, they will adjust for inflation on their own.

00:04:30.920 The market forces.

00:04:33.240 You should be okay.

00:04:34.680 It's not that I think stocks will go up.

00:04:37.720 Let me be clear about this.

00:04:39.600 It's not that I think there's going to be some big run on stocks.

00:04:43.820 There might be.

00:04:45.040 There's a pretty good chance there will be, actually, in the next two years.

00:04:48.880 Because of the election upcoming, etc.

00:04:50.700 But I just think it's a safe place to be.

00:04:55.260 American stocks.

00:04:57.800 Ask Warren Buffett.

00:04:58.860 He would say the same thing.

00:05:01.120 Somebody said that Cary Lake visited Mar-a-Lago.

00:05:04.180 Do I have a confirmation on that?

00:05:07.520 Has somebody seen that in the actual news?

00:05:14.380 Because that would just be awesome.

00:05:16.500 It's in the Wall Street Journal.

00:05:17.420 Yeah, it doesn't mean anything, necessarily.

00:05:21.100 But it's hard to imagine it doesn't mean anything.

00:05:25.140 So, at the very least, Trump is probably asking her to have some role.

00:05:30.960 You know, maybe on his campaign.

00:05:33.140 Imagine her running his campaign. 0.75

00:05:36.140 That would be interesting.

00:05:39.160 And then picking her as vice president later or something.

00:05:43.060 Very interesting.

00:05:43.940 All right.

00:05:46.880 Let's talk about Twitter.

00:05:48.860 So, you know, Elon Musk sent out the email that says he wants only the hardcore, you know, work late hours kind of people to stay.

00:05:57.080 And he invited everybody else to quit.

00:05:59.580 Well, it turns out there weren't, as a percentage, there weren't that many people who wanted to work hard, who already worked at Twitter.

00:06:06.300 I guess they'd been accustomed to not working hard, and it sounded pretty scary to them.

00:06:12.060 Now, so I guess there were mass resignations.

00:06:15.140 One estimate is that Twitter would go from 7,500 employees down to 1,000.

00:06:21.200 You know, that he might be at 1,000 employees.

00:06:23.300 And that they're going to have trouble keeping the lights on.

00:06:27.000 What's your experience so far?

00:06:30.180 So far, my experience is that Twitter is better.

00:06:33.380 Does anybody have a different experience?

00:06:36.040 To me, it's just better.

00:06:37.780 It's already better.

00:06:40.440 Right.

00:06:41.180 It's substantially better already.

00:06:44.000 And it hasn't gone down.

00:06:45.840 I haven't seen an error.

00:06:47.040 Do you know how many people run WhatsApp?

00:06:52.820 You know, gigantic, multi-billion dollar thing.

00:06:55.660 I saw a report there were 55 of them.

00:06:58.920 You know, one of my friends here locally used to be the WhatsApp guy who made sure that the servers were balanced.

00:07:05.940 I think that's what he did.

00:07:07.020 He balanced the server loads.

00:07:09.720 And he was just my neighbor.

00:07:12.560 He's a billionaire now.

00:07:13.700 It really pays to be one of 55 people running a company that's going to go public.

00:07:20.600 But how many people do you think it takes to run Twitter?

00:07:26.240 If you've got payroll, which could be an external company, right?

00:07:32.240 So it's probably an external company.

00:07:34.480 So you've got a little HR to process the people coming and going.

00:07:38.840 And then you've got, I don't know, 100 engineers.

00:07:44.060 Would it take more than 100 engineers to keep Twitter running?

00:07:47.940 I can't believe that more than 100 are doing anything important.

00:07:51.880 100 engineers is like a lot of engineers.

00:07:55.220 So how many of them are doing load balancing and how many of them?

00:07:58.720 Because I would think a lot of them are doing, you know, ESG-related things and diversity and making sure the employee experience is good and, you know, marketing and sales and, you know, mostly stuff that Musk kind of doesn't need at the moment.

00:08:16.740 You know, things you might want a little bit later, not too much later.

00:08:20.300 But probably at the moment, he just wants engineers and HR to make sure they get paid.

00:08:26.320 That's about it.

00:08:27.020 I think he's fine.

00:08:30.480 So he had an exchange with AOC, which is always fun.

00:08:35.580 AOC tweeted, let's see, she said, shout out to all the workers at Twitter.

00:08:41.860 You all built a vital place for connection and deserved so much better.

00:08:46.580 Millions of people appreciate the space you built and the hard work that went into it.

00:08:51.240 Thank you.

00:08:52.560 Elon Musk replies to AOC, you're welcome.

00:08:57.020 His tweeting is so good.

00:09:01.020 He's so on point.

00:09:03.400 Here's something that apparently has changed.

00:09:06.280 And the leftist doesn't like it at all.

00:09:08.520 Apparently, Twitter is fact-checking Democrats.

00:09:12.400 Which apparently was not even a thing.

00:09:16.420 I mean, I can't confirm it wasn't a thing before, but anecdotally, people are reporting it wasn't happening.

00:09:24.020 And now it's happening.

00:09:25.100 So when I say fact-checking, I mean that context is being added to both Democrat and Republican claims that need some context.

00:09:37.080 So now it's happening.

00:09:39.040 And apparently the left doesn't like it at all.

00:09:41.000 Which is hilarious.

00:09:46.840 Some Twitter pranksters, probably ex-employees, put a laser sign thing that points at the Twitter headquarters.

00:09:57.120 And it sprays a message on the headquarters that is a scrolling message.

00:10:02.240 And it's basically a bunch of insults to Elon Musk.

00:10:06.920 So how did that work out?

00:10:09.920 Did that work out for the employees?

00:10:11.620 They made a big deal about showing a light show on the Twitter headquarters that insulted Elon Musk.

00:10:21.840 Well, it became viral, right?

00:10:23.860 Because it's a good visual.

00:10:25.480 So it's all over the Internet.

00:10:29.140 Right.

00:10:29.560 It's just free PR.

00:10:31.700 Basically, Elon Musk managed to turn his fired employees into his marketing department.

00:10:38.700 That's actually happening.

00:10:42.800 That's like a real thing.

00:10:44.740 And Musk pointed out that all the attention he's getting has put Twitter usage at an all-time high.

00:10:53.160 So Twitter has never been healthier in terms of users.

00:10:57.040 If you've never been healthier in terms of users, do you think you can monetize that?

00:11:03.520 Usually.

00:11:04.900 Usually.

00:11:05.880 The thing you have to worry about is do people want to use it?

00:11:09.000 And is it growing?

00:11:10.440 And the answer is people want to use it, and it's growing.

00:11:13.500 If you get that part right, plus you have the most hardcore engineers to this day, you probably have a good shot.

00:11:22.000 I wouldn't put whatever the odds are on it, but he's in seriously, I have a good shot territory at this point.

00:11:28.940 And if he adds these new features, you know, like payment stuff, I think he can make it work.

00:11:35.400 I do.

00:11:36.360 Now, I saw a thread that a lot of people were sending to me.

00:11:39.360 They thought it was deep and insightful.

00:11:41.100 And the point of it was that Musk is doing this high-end business strategy whereby forcing people to out themselves as either people willing to work extra hard or quit.

00:11:56.940 But all the crappy employees are going to quit, and only the people who were valuable in the first place would be willing to stay because they still have a job and they liked your job and all the useless people are out of the way.

00:12:10.480 It might actually be easier for the – imagine the engineers doing their job without anybody giving them any trouble. 0.99

00:12:18.440 You know, there's no corporate bullshit. 0.93

00:12:21.320 There's just nobody to give them trouble. 0.98

00:12:22.720 They just have to do the right job.

00:12:24.680 I don't know.

00:12:25.120 They might get a better outcome.

00:12:27.280 Possible.

00:12:28.720 But, yeah, so far Twitter has free marketing by its fired employees, has far lower payroll costs by – I don't know.

00:12:39.200 They've lowered payroll by 80% or something, or they will after they do the payouts.

00:12:45.740 Fact-checking for both sides.

00:12:48.480 Traffic at an all-time high.

00:12:51.860 And what are the Twitter critics reporting?

00:12:55.980 That Twitter's in trouble.

00:12:58.240 It's going to go down.

00:13:00.360 Literally everything about Twitter is trending positive right now.

00:13:05.940 You get that, right?

00:13:07.100 They got rid of the bad employees, the ones who are, you know, not happy enough to stay.

00:13:13.180 That's not going to hurt them.

00:13:15.520 Most traffic they've ever had.

00:13:17.940 First time they have a plan toward profitability, right?

00:13:22.100 They're building in certain features, et cetera.

00:13:26.800 They've made it unbiased in terms of the fact-checking.

00:13:30.340 Am I wrong that everything is trending positive at Twitter?

00:13:36.620 It's just people who don't understand business maybe think the opposite.

00:13:42.060 All right.

00:13:46.500 Let's see.

00:13:47.300 So Jack Dorsey had an interesting cryptic tweet two days ago.

00:13:54.840 And this was his entire tweet.

00:13:57.460 And there's no context, right?

00:13:59.420 So this is not referring to anything specific.

00:14:02.120 He might be thinking something specific, but it's not in the tweet.

00:14:05.140 This is the entire tweet from Jack Dorsey.

00:14:07.820 Nobody knows anything.

00:14:11.080 Nobody knows anything.

00:14:12.220 Now, imagine being Jack Dorsey this week. 0.95

00:14:19.880 What are the things that Jack Dorsey knows that we don't know because we're just the ignorant public? 0.55

00:14:26.920 Jack Dorsey knows what's really happening at Twitter.

00:14:30.020 Do you?

00:14:31.320 No, of course not.

00:14:32.320 Of course you don't.

00:14:33.860 Do you think he has a better idea of what's happening?

00:14:35.720 Of course he does.

00:14:36.880 From the people quitting, plus his prior insight.

00:14:40.040 Plus, he's talked to Musk recently.

00:14:43.120 I think they appeared together on some event or something.

00:14:46.740 So Jack Dorsey's idea of whatever is happening at Twitter, probably he's the only one who has it.

00:14:55.060 There might be nobody else in the world, including Elon Musk, who knows exactly what Jack Dorsey knows to be true.

00:15:02.480 So when you look at all the stories about Twitter, and he says nobody knows anything, that's probably a pretty accurate statement.

00:15:10.940 Now, what's the other thing that Jack Dorsey is currently famous for?

00:15:16.280 Crypto.

00:15:17.740 Right?

00:15:18.420 He's one of the people you would say, well, okay, that's one of the people who really understands crypto at a level that the average investor doesn't.

00:15:25.800 Because he's creating business in that space.

00:15:30.200 So he's also looking at the FTX thing and probably saying, everybody talking about this doesn't know what they're talking about, which is probably true.

00:15:42.120 Does that sound like nobody knows anything?

00:15:44.780 It does.

00:15:46.780 It sounds exactly like nobody knows anything.

00:15:49.520 How about our medical science?

00:15:52.660 Today, there's another study showing that vitamin D would have been really good for people who had COVID.

00:16:03.640 But I looked at the study, and I said to myself, nope.

00:16:08.800 It is one more study that could be true.

00:16:12.260 I'm not saying vitamin D does or does not work.

00:16:14.820 I'm just saying that I read the study, and I'm like, no, it's a retrospective study.

00:16:19.740 They talk about meta-studies like they're real.

00:16:23.680 Like, I don't even know much about analyzing studies. 0.98

00:16:27.320 And just on the surface, it looked like bullshit to me. 0.98

00:16:32.260 I don't know. 0.95

00:16:32.740 So, and also, I couldn't even determine if the, from reading it, because, you know, they make it as densely complicated as possible to make it all science-y.

00:16:43.700 I couldn't even tell if they were talking about the special kind of vitamin D that only the hospital gives you.

00:16:49.520 Like, you know, it's probably a drip.

00:16:52.760 Could it be an injection?

00:16:54.380 I don't know. 1.00

00:16:54.680 But you can't buy the hospital shit over the counter. 0.99

00:17:00.680 Am I wrong about that? 0.99

00:17:02.740 I couldn't even tell if they were saying you should take vitamin D pills at home.

00:17:08.980 It wasn't clear to me at all.

00:17:10.700 So, it's another study that might be true.

00:17:14.100 But how would I know?

00:17:15.720 I have no way to know if that's useful at all.

00:17:19.160 So, would you say that in the case of COVID, nobody knows anything?

00:17:27.440 It's such a big statement, nobody knows anything.

00:17:30.020 But, because it even goes beyond, you know, the fake news and the fact that you're doing your own research doesn't really help you.

00:17:37.260 It goes beyond that.

00:17:38.920 You know, I don't know for sure.

00:17:41.740 But Jack might be all the way to reality is subjective.

00:17:48.020 We're just, we're living in our own little realities and we're happy with it.

00:17:52.140 Nobody knows anything.

00:17:53.840 We just know we're in our little bubble of reality.

00:17:58.980 All right.

00:18:00.340 Oh, I think I was talking about Oliver Campbell had that thread saying that Musk was, you know, intentionally putting pressure on the weak people to leave and the strong people would stay.

00:18:11.520 But you all knew that, right?

00:18:13.620 Wasn't that sort of obvious?

00:18:15.080 Because I thought that was explicitly what he was doing, putting pressure on the weak people to leave.

00:18:22.360 Oh, that looked, it looked obvious to me, but I guess some people thought that was a deep insight.

00:18:28.960 All right.

00:18:32.980 Hunter Biden is going to get investigated if the Republicans have it their way and it looks like they will.

00:18:37.760 Well, what do you think is going to come out of this Hunter Biden thing?

00:18:43.720 Is this going to be like the Trump investigations?

00:18:46.840 See, here's what I wonder.

00:18:48.940 How many times have you watched Trump be investigated and there's all this smoke and then there's nothing there?

00:18:56.300 Right.

00:18:56.540 We just saw it recently again with the Mar-a-Lago documents, those dangerous nuclear secrets that turned out just to be mementos and nothing important.

00:19:07.760 All right.

00:19:09.000 So every time Trump gets, you know, the risk of investigation, it turns into nothing.

00:19:14.600 What do you think are the odds that the Biden laptop, 10% for the big guy?

00:19:21.020 What are the odds that that'll turn into nothing?

00:19:25.340 It's not zero.

00:19:26.980 It is not zero.

00:19:28.620 It's not zero.

00:19:30.840 It's definitely not zero.

00:19:34.760 Here's what it could look like if it turns into nothing.

00:19:38.760 Joe Biden said, I have nothing to do with the business.

00:19:41.600 Is that correct?

00:19:43.060 In order to prove him wrong, they would need to do more than show that he took meetings.

00:19:51.040 Because taking meetings is what he does.

00:19:56.000 Right?

00:19:56.300 Taking meetings.

00:19:56.820 He could easily argue, yeah, I took a meeting with these people, but I also took a meeting with 1,000 people that year, and I'm not in business with the other 1,000.

00:20:08.340 Right?

00:20:08.820 Watch how easily I can defend Joe Biden.

00:20:14.320 It's going to bother you how easy this is.

00:20:17.040 Yes, I took those meetings.

00:20:18.520 I absolutely took those meetings.

00:20:20.200 I took thousands of meetings, and I wasn't working with any of them.

00:20:23.500 People can talk to me.

00:20:25.500 I'm a public figure.

00:20:27.100 When my son says, do you want to take a meeting, I took a meeting.

00:20:31.640 That's it.

00:20:32.560 Yeah, Don Jr. took a meeting.

00:20:34.960 Right?

00:20:35.240 Didn't Don Jr. take a meeting with the Russians?

00:20:39.640 Does that mean that Don Jr. is working with Russians?

00:20:43.580 No, it means he took a meeting.

00:20:45.420 People take meetings.

00:20:47.180 So I think Biden can completely avoid any legal problems.

00:20:52.580 There's no legal problem with taking a meeting, is it?

00:20:56.200 Now, what about, okay, follow the money.

00:20:58.120 Follow the money.

00:20:59.120 We have evidence that Hunter Biden was going to give money to the big guy, which we believe was Biden.

00:21:08.240 Let's say, and I think it's reasonable to assume, that we confirm that the big guy is actually Joe Biden.

00:21:15.440 This is going to piss you off.

00:21:16.980 Are you ready for this?

00:21:18.520 Here's what you can't confirm.

00:21:21.740 That Biden knew he was going to get the money.

00:21:26.520 Sorry.

00:21:28.220 If the only thing you know is that Hunter wanted to give his father money,

00:21:32.360 that doesn't mean that the father knew about it, approved it, or even knew where it was coming from.

00:21:39.200 He may have been just a potential future recipient.

00:21:44.800 Right?

00:21:45.360 Now, you can all say bull, because that's not my argument.

00:21:49.620 My argument is not what's true.

00:21:52.500 Are you ready?

00:21:53.680 I'm not saying what's true.

00:21:55.460 I'm saying what's an easy defense.

00:21:57.680 And the easy defense is Hunter knew everything.

00:22:00.080 The father might have been a recipient of some money, but he didn't necessarily have any involvement in the business.

00:22:09.760 Right?

00:22:14.000 So, you might have this weird situation where it's clear that, or at least you think it's clear that sketchy things happened,

00:22:21.860 but there's no document that shows that Joe Biden was aware of it.

00:22:25.740 So, you might find that Joe Biden lied or exaggerated when he said he had no involvement whatsoever.

00:22:34.960 There might be a little involvement.

00:22:37.200 But if you can't find, like, a plausible record that says Joe Biden knew what he was doing,

00:22:43.740 and he knew that this would benefit him financially, I don't think there's anything illegal.

00:22:51.280 Is there any evidence that Biden actually got his 10%?

00:22:54.960 I've never heard of that.

00:22:56.180 Have you?

00:22:57.200 Have you ever heard that the money actually reached Joe Biden? 1.00

00:23:02.200 Don't call me naive, motherfucker. 1.00

00:23:05.120 Are you even listening? 1.00

00:23:06.060 If you're calling me naive, you don't even know what I'm talking about.

00:23:11.960 You'd be on the wrong topic.

00:23:13.720 I'm not saying what's true.

00:23:15.600 If I were saying what's true, I'd be naive.

00:23:18.920 I'm telling you what facts are in evidence, and what can they prove.

00:23:22.680 Jesus Christ.

00:23:25.060 You know, I hate it when I do these things and somebody says I'm naive. 0.99

00:23:29.020 It's the most fucked up thing you can say, really. 0.99

00:23:31.480 It's the most fucked up thing you can say. 1.00

00:23:33.720 It honestly is. 1.00

00:23:34.620 It's just fucked up. 0.98

00:23:36.060 If you have something to say, like, were you aware of this, then please do it. 0.99

00:23:44.960 You know, were you aware that blah, blah.

00:23:47.400 Yes, I'd love to know that. 1.00

00:23:49.060 But just calling me naive, fuck you. 1.00

00:23:54.320 And I know you're a subscriber, but really, I have no tolerance for that. 1.00

00:23:59.640 Zero.

00:24:00.580 Especially from a subscriber.

00:24:02.760 Right?

00:24:02.940 Why are you even here?

00:24:06.060 All right, I'm done with that.

00:24:09.740 Did you read the laptop from hell?

00:24:12.020 Not all of it.

00:24:12.940 I've seen lots of excerpts.

00:24:14.260 But is there anything on the laptop from hell that confirms Biden actively was involved?

00:24:22.280 We assume he was, right?

00:24:25.020 We're not naive, so we assume that sketchy things happen everywhere.

00:24:30.000 But it's what can you prove.

00:24:33.340 And I don't know that the laptop proves that Joe Biden knew anything.

00:24:38.280 Knew anything illegal.

00:24:40.900 Yeah.

00:24:40.980 So, we'll see.

00:24:44.840 I've got a feeling it's going to end up like the Trump investigations.

00:24:50.000 And what that means is other people will get in trouble, but not Joe Biden.

00:24:55.480 Right?

00:24:55.780 In the same way Manafer ended up in jail, and he wasn't the target, Hunter might, might end up in trouble.

00:25:04.960 Or somebody associated with Hunter might, but I'll bet Joe Biden doesn't.

00:25:13.280 But the investigations are going to be fun.

00:25:16.820 All right.

00:25:18.020 I saw some social media still questioning why allegedly Paul Pelosi opened the door himself for the police.

00:25:27.300 And I have no questions about that at all.

00:25:31.000 To me, the whole story is entirely clear.

00:25:34.280 And I don't know why it's even confusing.

00:25:36.180 But let me explain why Paul Pelosi opened the door himself.

00:25:41.380 Now, can you confirm that this is true?

00:25:43.960 Paul Pelosi was holding the hammer when he opened the door.

00:25:49.100 Right?

00:25:50.040 Is that true?

00:25:51.100 That's the reporting, right?

00:25:52.620 So, the guy grabbed the hammer away from Pelosi and then hit him with it.

00:25:56.040 So, people are saying, hey, was Paul Pelosi really gay because he opened the door and it looked like, you know, it might have been something consensual?

00:26:07.540 No.

00:26:08.940 No.

00:26:09.660 Let me tell you exactly what happened.

00:26:12.620 Paul Pelosi encountered a crazy guy, and neither of them were armed at first.

00:26:20.940 Right?

00:26:21.620 Neither of them were armed.

00:26:22.580 And Paul Pelosi realized that the guy was, you know, dangerous, but not being physically dangerous yet.

00:26:32.180 So, at some point, Paul Pelosi managed to call 911 from some phone, and he managed to get us a hold of a hammer.

00:26:41.100 Right?

00:26:41.660 So, now the crazy guy doesn't necessarily know that the police are coming. 0.52

00:26:45.380 He thinks he's having a conversation, and Paul Pelosi is smart enough to keep the crazy guy talking, you know, as if, you know, maybe there's a conversation going, to keep him from being triggered.

00:26:59.380 But by now, Pelosi has the hammer, so who's in charge?

00:27:04.300 At the moment Pelosi opened the door, who had control of the situation?

00:27:09.400 Paul Pelosi did.

00:27:10.200 He had completely taken control.

00:27:13.840 Right?

00:27:14.180 He called the police.

00:27:15.700 They arrived on time.

00:27:17.500 He was the only one with a weapon when they opened the door.

00:27:22.300 Right? 1.00

00:27:23.000 Paul Pelosi handled this like a fucking champ. 1.00

00:27:25.940 And it pisses me off that he's being, you know, accused of some kind of, like, bullshit. 1.00

00:27:33.660 You know, having an affair with this guy or something. 0.99

00:27:35.980 Clearly, clearly, he took control of the situation.

00:27:41.400 What happened next is that because he was 82, and the police didn't do their job, let me say it again, the police clearly didn't do their job.

00:27:50.940 What was the first thing the police do when they opened the door if they'd done their job? 0.99

00:27:54.400 First thing, take the fucking hammer away from somebody. 0.99

00:28:01.860 Right? 0.99

00:28:02.380 Why are we not talking about the police failure to take the hammer from Pelosi the moment they saw it?

00:28:09.460 Right?

00:28:10.160 The first thing you do is take the hammer away.

00:28:13.980 It's the first thing.

00:28:16.240 Am I right?

00:28:17.500 It doesn't matter which one of them was, you know, the victim or the attacker.

00:28:21.200 The first thing is take the weapon away.

00:28:24.400 So there may be a reason that they couldn't get to it in time, right?

00:28:28.520 Maybe the bad guy jumped them too quickly.

00:28:31.260 But my understanding was there was a little bit of a conversation once the police were inside.

00:28:37.920 And they didn't take the hammer away first.

00:28:41.360 So that part's the question.

00:28:42.700 But it has nothing to do with Paul Pelosi at all.

00:28:46.040 That's a question for the police.

00:28:48.940 So everything about what I just told you is speculation, of course.

00:28:54.560 But it also fits all the facts.

00:28:56.640 And it's also the most ordinary explanation.

00:29:00.040 Because what would I have done in that situation?

00:29:02.980 If I were Paul Pelosi, I would have engaged him like I was talking to a friend.

00:29:07.600 When the police came, I would have said, and when I called him, I would have said, my friend.

00:29:13.400 Here's my friend.

00:29:14.760 I would have used that word to keep him from going crazy.

00:29:19.020 And then I would have gotten a weapon if I could.

00:29:23.060 I wouldn't have used it because the police are coming.

00:29:26.140 I would just, you know, have it with me in case I needed it.

00:29:28.680 When the police come, of course I'd open the door.

00:29:31.760 What are you going to do?

00:29:34.020 Because the guy's not crazy.

00:29:35.920 You've got a hammer.

00:29:37.520 So you open your door.

00:29:39.880 What part of this story is confusing anybody?

00:29:43.140 This is the most straightforward story I've ever heard in my life.

00:29:46.500 There's no room for any confusion here.

00:29:50.000 Paul Pelosi was a champ, I think.

00:29:52.900 I think an 82-year-old guy handled a really tough situation in the best way he could.

00:30:00.280 And the only reason it went wrong, as far as I can tell, the only reason it went wrong is the police didn't do their job.

00:30:07.900 They didn't take the hammer from Pelosi, which put it in play.

00:30:13.160 Am I wrong?

00:30:15.780 And I'd like to also end, you know, with my Pelosi's greed here,

00:30:21.460 by saying that congratulations to Nancy Pelosi for a tremendous career on behalf of the people she was working for.

00:30:30.280 Now, you may disagree that she was a monster or whatever.

00:30:33.960 But, you know, when somebody's had that illustrious and impactful career,

00:30:39.500 on the last day of work, I think she was trying to do the country's business.

00:30:46.440 You know, we have our criticisms.

00:30:50.120 But I believe that she is a patriot.

00:30:53.940 You know, she may have done something you don't like as well.

00:30:56.640 But I think she worked hard.

00:30:58.620 She didn't need to.

00:31:00.020 Look how hard she worked and didn't need to. 1.00

00:31:03.560 I always appreciate that.

00:31:05.260 I always appreciate your hard work, especially, you know, into your 80s.

00:31:09.700 Very impressive.

00:31:10.280 So I'm only going to say positive things about Nancy Pelosi because it's just a good time to do that, right?

00:31:17.440 Let's feel a little less divisive at the moment because she's no longer relevant to the process.

00:31:23.800 We don't need to climb on her today.

00:31:27.240 So I just wish all the Pelosi's the best.

00:31:31.620 Yeah, I'll keep it that way.

00:31:32.960 I guess the Biden administration is agreeing that the Saudi crown prince cannot be sued because he's immune, because he's the head of state.

00:31:48.840 Now, do you remember when Biden promised us there would be consequences for the death of Khashoggi?

00:31:57.380 And that's a lie.

00:31:59.200 There were no consequences.

00:32:00.200 Now, I would love to know if either Trump or Biden ever said anything true at any time during either of their campaigns.

00:32:12.080 I'd kind of like to see it like a side-by-side because I don't believe any of it.

00:32:16.620 I don't think either of them said anything true for two years.

00:32:20.460 Right?

00:32:22.160 I don't think so.

00:32:25.840 You know, they may have honestly talked about problems.

00:32:30.200 But, I don't know.

00:32:34.160 I feel like, you know, Trump is a serial exaggerator.

00:32:39.900 Say what you will.

00:32:41.080 You know what you're getting with him.

00:32:43.240 But Biden tries to act like he's a regular politician.

00:32:48.420 It bothers me more when the regular politician lies.

00:32:51.680 It doesn't bother me when the salesperson lies.

00:32:57.940 If he tells you, I'm a salesperson and I'm going to use hyperbole, it works really well.

00:33:02.640 But I'm using it on your behalf.

00:33:05.260 Then I say, oh, you're using it on my behalf.

00:33:07.700 Go ahead.

00:33:08.960 You could argue the same with Biden.

00:33:10.320 But because he's not, you know, putting himself as a salesperson, per se.

00:33:16.480 It just looks different.

00:33:21.200 A serial exaggerator.

00:33:22.780 Is that a compliment?

00:33:23.860 No.

00:33:24.560 No.

00:33:25.280 Yeah.

00:33:25.420 Have I ever defended Trump's accuracy from the fact-checking?

00:33:31.960 Have I ever done that?

00:33:33.940 I don't think I've...

00:33:35.060 I've never said that Trump tells you, you know, the truth every time he talks.

00:33:40.220 That's not something I've ever said. 0.95

00:33:41.720 The thing I like about Trump is that he's the most honest liar you'll ever meet. 0.99

00:33:52.340 He's the most honest liar. 0.97

00:33:55.100 Meaning, he tells you why he's doing it. 0.83

00:33:58.360 Well, I'm doing it for this reason.

00:34:00.700 And you go, oh.

00:34:04.740 He's very transparent.

00:34:05.960 Here is how Trump can win it all.

00:34:14.100 Number one, you have noticed that he's been completely shut out by the mainstream press.

00:34:19.760 The fact that Trump announced and then everything went quiet.

00:34:24.800 It's just so telling.

00:34:26.680 All right.

00:34:27.220 Wait for this idea.

00:34:29.060 This idea is going to hit you like a slap in the face.

00:34:32.960 Because you're going to like it so much.

00:34:35.960 All right.

00:34:36.320 Trump has two years.

00:34:38.360 But I would say for the next few months, it's not like the regular campaign.

00:34:44.280 You know, the final year will be the real campaigning.

00:34:47.800 In the next year, here's what Trump could do to guarantee he wins.

00:34:52.580 You ready for this?

00:34:54.680 Do every large black podcast he can do. 0.95

00:35:00.480 Just do them all.

00:35:01.760 Just start with the biggest one, whatever that is.

00:35:03.580 Whatever that one Kanye was on, the guy, is it in Chicago where they drink, they get drunk and do the interview?

00:35:11.980 It's a pretty good podcast.

00:35:13.960 Drink champs.

00:35:14.740 Drink champs.

00:35:15.760 Yeah.

00:35:16.160 I think that's a big one.

00:35:17.880 Charlemagne the God, for sure.

00:35:20.180 You should do Charlemagne God.

00:35:21.640 And here's why this would work.

00:35:24.980 See, this is having a big impact on you, isn't it?

00:35:27.020 If you knew that the only thing Trump was doing to campaign for, let's say, six months was doing every black podcast, and he took every question. 0.76

00:35:39.380 He just took every question.

00:35:41.740 Do you know what that would do for him?

00:35:44.220 Because here's the part you don't know.

00:35:49.940 What it's like to talk to him in person.

00:35:52.840 I know that.

00:35:54.340 I've experienced that.

00:35:56.300 When you talk to him in person, you like him.

00:36:02.100 Can you imagine him on any of those podcasts?

00:36:05.480 Do you think he would get along with the interviewers?

00:36:09.600 Absolutely.

00:36:10.800 Absolutely.

00:36:11.680 He would instantly connect with them.

00:36:13.400 And they would feel it.

00:36:17.960 And he would completely just mess with that entire market, because they'd be like, I'm not sure what we're seeing here.

00:36:26.280 Why are we seeing this guy that we've been told is this monster, and he's just having a good chat and answering every question?

00:36:35.040 Because there would be no questions on the balance.

00:36:36.900 Can you imagine, you know, black America, like, really, really putting Trump's feet to the fire on a live stream?

00:36:45.000 Like, really, really going at him hard.

00:36:48.000 Could he handle it?

00:36:49.540 Easily?

00:36:50.700 Easily.

00:36:51.380 It's what he does, right?

00:36:53.520 Could he?

00:36:54.500 Now, let me ask you this.

00:36:56.960 Imagine Trump, armed with the 15 or 16, whatever it is, the hoax quiz that I created, all the hoaxes that are mostly about him.

00:37:05.860 Imagine if we updated that so that the hoax quiz document had a link to, you know, more detail, you know, debunking each of the hoaxes.

00:37:15.240 And it's a clickable link.

00:37:18.780 So before Trump goes on any podcast, his team sends that list of hoaxes with the links, and then you say, if you'd like to ask us about any of these things, then you could also show the video of it being debunked.

00:37:35.680 Now, for example, Steve Cortez did some videos debunking the fine people hoax.

00:37:42.640 So just say, you know, no, that was a hoax.

00:37:46.820 Just click this link if you'd like to show your viewers.

00:37:49.700 Here's a video explaining how it was done.

00:37:52.620 The, you know, the drinking bleach hoax?

00:37:56.340 The Wall Street Journal ran an article by the company that was doing the light as a disinfectant study.

00:38:04.040 And they talked about, yeah, that's our study.

00:38:06.300 We're doing that.

00:38:07.200 It's in the Wall Street Journal.

00:38:08.200 You don't have to wonder if Trump was talking about a real thing.

00:38:13.440 So you could have a link that just shows that he mentions light before he talks about disinfectant.

00:38:19.320 And then when he's done talking about it and the other people are done, he goes back to light.

00:38:24.620 You know, yeah, light, maybe light could do this.

00:38:26.400 So if you just put those two pieces of the video together with the actual study that was happening at the time, and maybe even show my tweet if you could find it.

00:38:37.660 So I was tweeting about that study, and we know that Trump watches the, you know, prominent tweets that agree with him anyway.

00:38:45.700 And every one of those could be linked to just the debunk, because they're pretty easy to debunk.

00:38:53.340 What about the one where Trump made fun of the guy with a physical disability?

00:39:00.060 Easy.

00:39:01.040 Linked to the video that shows he does that same impression when he's talking about Ted Cruz and some other people.

00:39:10.520 That's it.

00:39:11.080 It's as easy as, yeah, the coy carp thing.

00:39:13.380 It's as easy as that.

00:39:14.320 And imagine Trump having a no-time-limit conversation with, you know, prominent black leaders with no restrictions.

00:39:28.800 Ask me anything.

00:39:30.660 But, you know, here's what these hoaxes are, and you can see for yourself.

00:39:34.680 Check them out yourself.

00:39:35.840 Now let me ask you this.

00:39:36.960 Is black America primed to believe that everything the news said about Trump was a lie?

00:39:46.220 How primed are they to believe that the news media lied to the entire black community for years? 0.61

00:39:53.960 Super primed.

00:39:55.760 That might be the easiest thing to convince black America. 0.99

00:39:59.400 You could go to black America and say, I don't want to be the one to tell you this, but this is the 4,000th time in a row you got screwed. 0.98

00:40:13.780 Right? 0.97

00:40:14.180 Are they going to say, no, we haven't been screwed 5,000 times in a row?

00:40:18.360 That's never happened.

00:40:19.820 No, they're going to say, okay, what is it?

00:40:22.660 Well, everything about Trump was a lie.

00:40:25.720 Here's the hoax list.

00:40:28.540 And we can prove it.

00:40:29.960 You could just click the link, see for yourself.

00:40:33.000 Do you think that they would believe it?

00:40:35.140 I do.

00:40:36.240 I do.

00:40:36.960 I don't think there's any community who's more primed to believe that the people in charge lied to them.

00:40:45.340 Am I right?

00:40:46.680 Because it's a group who have been lied to consistently forever, basically.

00:40:51.680 So why wouldn't they believe it?

00:40:53.440 It's the easiest thing to believe.

00:40:56.840 Now, imagine also that Trump ignored all the other media, just for, let's say, six months,

00:41:05.220 and did nothing but black podcasts.

00:41:09.040 And then you have somebody in his staff clip the parts of those podcasts that are interesting,

00:41:16.400 and then they become viral.

00:41:20.080 What is it in the old days that politicians did to try to win over the black vote?

00:41:26.160 What was the old-timey thing?

00:41:28.140 And I think Trump probably did this, too.

00:41:30.520 What was the old-timey way?

00:41:32.740 You go to the church, right?

00:41:33.880 You go to a black church, maybe a couple of them, and you get some video of, 0.80

00:41:39.960 oh, look, he's not afraid to go where black people are in large numbers, right? 0.96

00:41:46.340 Which I think is the whole game.

00:41:48.100 You just need some video of this person with lots of black people smiling around them,

00:41:52.100 and then you're done. 0.91

00:41:54.100 Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but the going to black churches 1.00

00:41:57.980 could be completely replaced by black podcasts.

00:42:02.120 And do you think the black community would love to have the most viral content you could ever have

00:42:09.920 exclusively to them for six months?

00:42:13.940 Am I wrong?

00:42:15.980 Imagine Trump just saying, six months, I will appear only on black media,

00:42:22.280 and you can ask me anything.

00:42:23.320 And here's another thing Trump could say.

00:42:27.500 If I can't convince you, I don't deserve to win.

00:42:32.240 If I can't make inroads in the black community, 0.99

00:42:35.380 and if I can't make my case to the black community in the next six months,

00:42:38.660 I probably don't deserve to win.

00:42:40.740 So let's just go right at it.

00:42:43.160 If I lose the black vote, I'm not president, and I don't want to be. 1.00

00:42:47.320 I don't even want to be president if I can't get the black vote. 0.92

00:42:50.920 So I'm going to go hard at the black vote, 1.00

00:42:53.400 harder than anybody's ever gone before.

00:42:56.420 I'm going to listen to everything they say,

00:42:57.960 I'm going to argue with what I don't like,

00:42:59.920 I'm going to agree with what I like,

00:43:02.400 and then let's just go right at it.

00:43:07.260 Because the thing that Trump has done before

00:43:09.780 is try to skirt around the edges of things.

00:43:14.380 He already has.

00:43:15.340 No, he hasn't done what I said.

00:43:17.900 Come on.

00:43:19.480 He already has.

00:43:23.200 He may have appeared with some black interviewers,

00:43:30.740 but nothing like what I'm talking about.

00:43:32.680 I'm talking about literally just saying nobody but six months,

00:43:36.880 I'm available to the black community.

00:43:39.700 Have at it.

00:43:40.320 Now you're saying, what about the Latino community and women? 0.94

00:43:46.260 Well, you can do those next.

00:43:49.020 But the trouble is,

00:43:50.340 it's really hard to argue with somebody

00:43:53.040 who just went full in

00:43:54.940 and just said,

00:43:56.260 six months, black podcasters, 0.79

00:43:59.100 all you want,

00:44:00.120 and full access.

00:44:01.920 I'll do anything you want.

00:44:02.940 And after that,

00:44:04.200 we'll open it up.

00:44:09.360 That would be hard to avoid,

00:44:11.160 hard to ignore, wouldn't it?

00:44:16.620 All right.

00:44:21.600 Adam Silber,

00:44:22.720 I told you,

00:44:23.500 Trump claims his hair is real.

00:44:25.360 I know it's not,

00:44:26.140 because his toupee is the one I sold him.

00:44:28.120 That's not true.

00:44:32.860 Nobody would wear that toupee.

00:44:36.920 I don't think so.

00:44:39.460 Van Jones,

00:44:40.440 Whoopi Goldberg,

00:44:41.220 yes.

00:44:42.200 Yes.

00:44:44.580 Trump should talk to Oprah,

00:44:47.180 Whoopi Goldberg,

00:44:49.120 just anybody who asks.

00:44:55.100 All right.

00:44:56.680 Zuby's easy.

00:44:59.000 Yeah,

00:44:59.520 Zuby would be great,

00:45:00.620 wouldn't he?

00:45:02.220 But,

00:45:02.720 let me ask you this.

00:45:04.260 Have I made my case

00:45:05.380 that the black church technique

00:45:07.800 gives way to the black podcast?

00:45:11.320 Right?

00:45:13.400 Podcasting is the way to go,

00:45:15.040 I think.

00:45:16.420 And I don't think any of them

00:45:17.980 would say no to him,

00:45:18.920 because he's such a ratings bonanza.

00:45:21.740 Like,

00:45:21.940 who would say no

00:45:22.660 if Trump offered to be on your podcast?

00:45:26.480 Nobody says no to that.

00:45:28.120 Right?

00:45:29.100 It's just,

00:45:30.280 I can't imagine it not working,

00:45:32.160 honestly.

00:45:33.060 Can't imagine that.

00:45:35.760 All right.

00:45:36.540 So,

00:45:36.820 and I'll say again,

00:45:37.580 that the part that you can't quite appreciate

00:45:40.380 about this idea

00:45:41.180 is how effective Trump is

00:45:43.140 and how personal he is

00:45:45.120 in person.

00:45:46.520 Because in person,

00:45:47.700 all the bombastic stuff is gone.

00:45:50.940 And he's actually really interested in you.

00:45:53.920 Like,

00:45:54.120 this is the part that nobody will believe.

00:45:56.600 That I sat with Trump in the Oval Office,

00:45:59.800 and did he talk about himself

00:46:01.520 and his accomplishments?

00:46:02.740 Of course.

00:46:03.200 But he probably talked as much

00:46:05.740 asking me about,

00:46:07.520 you know,

00:46:07.720 like,

00:46:07.860 my job

00:46:08.380 and how Dilbert was going

00:46:10.100 and,

00:46:10.840 you know,

00:46:10.980 what were my thoughts on things.

00:46:12.920 That's the part you don't know about.

00:46:15.140 You don't know that

00:46:16.080 when you're with him in person,

00:46:18.240 he treats you like

00:46:19.800 you're the only person in the world.

00:46:22.280 And when you feel that,

00:46:24.180 when you feel the president

00:46:25.260 of the United States

00:46:26.080 or even ex-president

00:46:27.400 running for president,

00:46:28.380 if you feel him

00:46:29.340 giving you his full attention,

00:46:31.520 it's hard to say bad stuff

00:46:34.100 about him

00:46:34.460 when you leave the room.

00:46:36.360 You know what I mean?

00:46:37.760 It's really hard

00:46:38.620 to have a bad feeling about him

00:46:40.040 because he's totally likable.

00:46:42.000 He's totally likable.

00:46:42.900 The public persona

00:46:44.540 is like all those rough parts,

00:46:47.160 they're just not there in person.

00:46:48.760 In person,

00:46:49.320 he's just a really fun,

00:46:50.340 interesting,

00:46:51.560 unusually social guy.

00:46:53.800 That's about it.

00:46:59.780 Yeah,

00:47:00.260 and since I identify as black,

00:47:02.360 I could,

00:47:03.220 probably I wouldn't be

00:47:04.160 in the first phase.

00:47:08.320 Snoop ended up happy with him

00:47:09.860 for pardoning,

00:47:10.980 was it,

00:47:12.340 yeah,

00:47:13.380 what was the rapper

00:47:14.040 in Sweden or Norway

00:47:15.440 or wherever it was?

00:47:16.300 I forget.

00:47:17.420 So I think that Trump

00:47:18.860 has enough credibility,

00:47:22.620 let's say with the rapper community,

00:47:24.820 with Snoop Dogg.

00:47:26.320 I even think Chappelle,

00:47:27.760 I think Dave Chappelle

00:47:30.400 is having a hard time

00:47:31.440 not supporting Trump.

00:47:34.620 Yeah,

00:47:35.340 he's trying to have it both ways,

00:47:38.080 you know,

00:47:38.360 by saying the negative about Trump,

00:47:40.340 but everything that comes out

00:47:43.140 of Chappelle's mouth,

00:47:44.560 to me,

00:47:45.580 sounds like if he could,

00:47:48.040 he would just support him.

00:47:49.560 It feels like it.

00:47:50.560 That's just,

00:47:51.360 and I don't want to put any thoughts

00:47:52.900 in anybody's head.

00:47:53.660 I'm not a mind reader.

00:47:54.500 But just,

00:47:55.660 if you pick up the way

00:47:56.620 he talks about him,

00:47:58.100 his willingness to say

00:47:59.240 that there's anything

00:48:00.060 positive about him,

00:48:01.520 or even supporting the fact

00:48:02.800 that he lives among the,

00:48:03.980 as he says,

00:48:04.660 the poor whites, 0.74

00:48:06.040 and so he gets why 0.83

00:48:07.300 they,

00:48:07.960 you know,

00:48:08.340 they understand Trump.

00:48:10.600 Yeah.

00:48:17.440 He fell for the Russia 0.98

00:48:18.640 collusion hoax.

00:48:19.520 Why does Sam Jackson

00:48:22.420 hate Trump?

00:48:23.160 I don't know,

00:48:23.560 probably the reason

00:48:24.240 a lot of people do,

00:48:25.160 but if he had a podcast,

00:48:27.880 it might be different.

00:48:29.640 All right.

00:48:32.580 Adam Silver,

00:48:33.520 he answered you

00:48:34.320 when he read my reply.

00:48:37.160 Somebody pretending to be,

00:48:39.840 please be,

00:48:41.460 oh, Adam says,

00:48:42.300 please be specific

00:48:43.280 on a few Trump lies.

00:48:46.060 Seriously?

00:48:46.500 Seriously?

00:48:49.100 Seriously?

00:48:52.520 There's somebody here

00:48:53.600 defending that

00:48:54.400 Trump has never lied?

00:48:57.600 Now,

00:48:58.160 maybe,

00:48:59.140 just read

00:49:01.860 Daniel Dale's

00:49:02.780 fact check

00:49:03.400 on

00:49:04.300 Trump's

00:49:05.640 acceptance speech.

00:49:07.760 I think

00:49:08.340 Daniel Dale

00:49:09.000 was right

00:49:09.540 probably

00:49:10.780 on all the

00:49:11.400 fact checks.

00:49:12.840 So,

00:49:13.780 if you're saying

00:49:15.240 that

00:49:15.540 Trump

00:49:16.820 never lies

00:49:17.640 in his

00:49:18.080 public stuff,

00:49:20.140 I mean,

00:49:20.440 even he would say

00:49:21.260 he's using

00:49:21.780 hyperbole.

00:49:23.400 You know,

00:49:23.600 you could call it

00:49:24.240 what you want,

00:49:24.880 but he's not even

00:49:26.360 trying to hide it.

00:49:29.820 Oh,

00:49:30.300 your Coinbase

00:49:30.920 also doesn't work.

00:49:32.460 So,

00:49:32.720 this morning,

00:49:33.560 I don't want to start

00:49:34.500 a run on Coinbase,

00:49:36.300 but I thought,

00:49:37.460 hmm,

00:49:38.400 if that FTX thing

00:49:39.580 went down,

00:49:40.480 maybe I should just see

00:49:41.360 if I have anything

00:49:42.720 left in Coinbase,

00:49:44.300 which is a different exchange.

00:49:45.960 So,

00:49:46.140 I go to log in

00:49:46.840 to Coinbase,

00:49:47.680 and,

00:49:48.040 oh,

00:49:48.460 log in.

00:49:49.900 I'm using the old words,

00:49:52.060 log in.

00:49:53.420 Does anybody still use that?

00:49:54.800 Sign in or log in?

00:49:56.680 Do you use the old words

00:49:57.660 for it?

00:49:59.100 Now,

00:49:59.760 you should be more

00:50:01.000 modern,

00:50:01.900 and say you hacked

00:50:03.360 into your account.

00:50:05.180 Because,

00:50:05.860 these days,

00:50:06.680 in the old days,

00:50:07.280 you could put in

00:50:07.860 your password,

00:50:09.480 and then your account

00:50:10.980 would open.

00:50:11.320 But today,

00:50:12.780 it's more of a,

00:50:14.080 like robbing a bank,

00:50:15.360 or hacking a company.

00:50:17.820 Because if I want to get into,

00:50:19.380 let's say,

00:50:19.940 Coinbase,

00:50:21.160 let me show you

00:50:22.040 what's involved.

00:50:23.840 So,

00:50:24.160 if I want to get into

00:50:24.880 Coinbase,

00:50:25.600 it sends me to a

00:50:26.600 third-party app.

00:50:27.780 The third-party app

00:50:31.380 doesn't exist.

00:50:34.980 It used to.

00:50:37.200 There's an upgraded app

00:50:38.540 that doesn't talk 0.62

00:50:40.000 to the old one.

00:50:41.580 So,

00:50:41.820 now,

00:50:42.460 I can't hack

00:50:45.540 the third-party app,

00:50:46.920 because the new one

00:50:47.880 doesn't seem quite right

00:50:49.300 for what I'm trying to do,

00:50:50.440 but the old one

00:50:51.080 seems not to exist

00:50:52.160 on the App Store anymore,

00:50:53.660 and it's giving me

00:50:54.480 an error,

00:50:55.260 like a tactical error.

00:50:56.460 So,

00:50:57.620 now,

00:50:57.780 what's my other way

00:50:58.880 to get in?

00:50:59.980 I don't know.

00:51:01.100 There might be a way.

00:51:02.640 But,

00:51:02.900 like I said,

00:51:03.560 in the old days,

00:51:04.220 you would just put in

00:51:04.780 your password,

00:51:05.520 and that would be called

00:51:06.320 signing in,

00:51:08.380 or sometimes

00:51:09.100 logging on.

00:51:11.340 That was the old way.

00:51:12.700 Today,

00:51:13.280 you pretty much

00:51:14.220 are put into

00:51:15.760 an escape room.

00:51:17.420 Like,

00:51:17.720 okay,

00:51:18.700 try to get out

00:51:19.300 of the escape room,

00:51:20.420 and if you do,

00:51:21.680 we might give you

00:51:22.440 access to your own data.

00:51:24.180 but you're going

00:51:25.740 to have to solve

00:51:26.500 this puzzle first.

00:51:29.220 That's what 0.99

00:51:29.940 every fucking service 0.99

00:51:31.680 I have is like now. 0.99

00:51:33.400 Try to watch

00:51:34.280 a television show.

00:51:36.280 Well,

00:51:36.600 your streaming service

00:51:37.580 is not working

00:51:38.340 with your Apple TV,

00:51:40.460 your Wi-Fi is down,

00:51:42.920 and your remote

00:51:43.780 isn't working,

00:51:44.520 it's out of a battery.

00:51:45.920 So,

00:51:46.140 it's like,

00:51:47.240 dun,

00:51:47.680 dun,

00:51:48.040 dun,

00:51:48.340 dun,

00:51:48.540 it's like Mission Impossible.

00:51:50.300 Dun,

00:51:50.660 dun,

00:51:51.180 dun,

00:51:51.520 dun,

00:51:51.820 dun,

00:51:52.160 dun.

00:51:52.420 I think if I assemble

00:51:53.640 a team

00:51:54.120 of experts,

00:51:55.520 I can figure out

00:51:56.580 how to hack in

00:51:57.540 through the back door.

00:51:59.300 So,

00:51:59.660 all day long,

00:52:00.180 I'm just hacking

00:52:00.720 into my own accounts.

00:52:03.280 Hacking into my bank.

00:52:05.240 I'm trying to,

00:52:05.640 yeah,

00:52:06.300 like almost 100%

00:52:07.600 of my apps

00:52:08.440 fail every day.

00:52:10.420 I don't know about you.

00:52:18.640 Oh,

00:52:19.140 and also,

00:52:19.740 in case anybody

00:52:20.340 wants an update,

00:52:20.940 I got a,

00:52:21.720 an air fryer,

00:52:25.220 I decided to join

00:52:26.800 the trend,

00:52:27.640 everybody's talking

00:52:28.300 about air fryers,

00:52:29.880 and I'm like,

00:52:30.240 oh,

00:52:30.420 I'm going to get one.

00:52:31.220 So,

00:52:31.400 I got one,

00:52:31.880 and let me tell you,

00:52:33.780 efficiency-wise,

00:52:36.500 this air fryer

00:52:37.360 is the most efficient

00:52:38.640 thing I've ever used.

00:52:40.380 The last three times

00:52:41.360 I've used it,

00:52:42.540 I've completely destroyed

00:52:44.220 three entire meals

00:52:45.860 faster than I've ever

00:52:47.860 destroyed anything.

00:52:48.840 nothing has ever

00:52:50.880 ruined food

00:52:51.500 as efficiently

00:52:52.160 as this thing.

00:52:53.280 So,

00:52:54.000 most of my food

00:52:55.100 goes from the refrigerator

00:52:56.140 into the fryer

00:52:57.080 and then directly

00:52:57.860 into the garbage

00:52:58.560 because it's overcooked,

00:53:00.100 usually.

00:53:01.620 Sometimes it's cooked well,

00:53:02.900 it doesn't taste good,

00:53:04.280 or,

00:53:04.960 I tried to cook salmon

00:53:06.140 and when I touched it

00:53:07.200 with a fork,

00:53:07.760 it just dissolved.

00:53:09.320 Like,

00:53:09.600 I don't think

00:53:10.220 it's supposed

00:53:10.620 to do that.

00:53:12.240 But,

00:53:12.640 I did once

00:53:15.820 create good food,

00:53:18.040 but it was with,

00:53:18.760 you know,

00:53:19.440 an assistant.

00:53:21.420 But 100% of the time

00:53:22.800 I've tried it myself.

00:53:24.700 I guess I got some

00:53:25.640 squash that tastes

00:53:26.900 good once.

00:53:27.720 That was about it.

00:53:29.440 Yeah.

00:53:30.300 It's great for leftovers.

00:53:31.200 leftovers.

00:53:33.760 Well,

00:53:34.300 if you'd like

00:53:34.720 to destroy food

00:53:35.680 faster than you've

00:53:36.540 ever done it before,

00:53:37.940 it's a good way

00:53:38.560 to do it.

00:53:39.340 Now,

00:53:39.760 apparently the problem

00:53:40.760 is that the

00:53:41.520 cooking times

00:53:43.100 in its own guide,

00:53:44.340 the guide that comes

00:53:45.140 with the thing,

00:53:45.840 are not even close.

00:53:48.240 The cooking times

00:53:49.400 are not even close.

00:53:50.700 They're

00:53:50.940 something like

00:53:52.400 twice as long

00:53:53.360 as what will

00:53:54.680 burn it to a crisp.

00:53:55.840 So that's been

00:53:56.740 my problem.

00:53:57.260 I keep believing

00:53:57.860 the manual.

00:53:59.220 Like,

00:53:59.540 well,

00:54:00.240 it's very clear

00:54:01.340 that it's this

00:54:01.920 many minutes.

00:54:03.120 I'll put it at the

00:54:03.820 lowest end,

00:54:06.100 and then it

00:54:06.940 burns it to a crisp.

00:54:09.300 How's the drumming

00:54:10.260 going?

00:54:11.600 Pretty well.

00:54:14.320 Yes,

00:54:14.800 last night

00:54:15.380 for the first time,

00:54:17.180 I got the

00:54:18.000 repeating B

00:54:19.240 for

00:54:19.640 Come As You Are.

00:54:21.520 Come As You Are.

00:54:24.720 It's a

00:54:25.440 Dave Grohl. 0.95

00:54:27.040 That mofo 1.00

00:54:27.980 plays some 0.81

00:54:28.840 complicated drums.

00:54:30.960 Yeah.

00:54:33.060 You know,

00:54:33.740 I thought I knew

00:54:34.620 how to drum,

00:54:35.700 because I could do

00:54:36.360 all the easy stuff,

00:54:37.840 and then I tried

00:54:38.860 to do a Dave Grohl

00:54:40.120 piece,

00:54:41.860 you know,

00:54:42.080 one of the great

00:54:42.760 drummers of all time,

00:54:43.980 and I'm like,

00:54:44.900 wait a minute,

00:54:45.860 how do you get

00:54:46.960 this hand to work

00:54:47.760 that's,

00:54:48.420 wait,

00:54:49.060 it's like all

00:54:49.600 different stuff.

00:54:51.500 But I think I'm there.

00:54:52.620 I think I got my

00:54:53.500 separation working now.

00:54:55.440 All right.

00:55:00.340 Half the time

00:55:01.080 and then turn,

00:55:01.720 yeah.

00:55:02.580 I tried that,

00:55:03.420 doesn't work.

00:55:06.740 Yeah,

00:55:07.200 John Bonham,

00:55:07.960 even harder.

00:55:09.520 You are correct.

00:55:10.440 I've been trying

00:55:10.900 to do Bonham,

00:55:11.600 and it's making me crazy.

00:55:12.820 this video will be

00:55:19.600 taken down.

00:55:20.880 Will it?

00:55:22.660 Your daughter

00:55:23.420 was backstage

00:55:24.060 with Dave Grohl.

00:55:26.760 Well,

00:55:27.040 I hope that worked out.

00:55:31.620 Maybe your daughter

00:55:32.480 didn't tell you

00:55:32.940 the whole story there.

00:55:36.660 Oh,

00:55:37.160 not for sakes.

00:55:37.840 All right.

00:55:44.180 All right.

00:55:44.960 Why would this video

00:55:45.940 be taken down?

00:55:48.900 I haven't said

00:55:49.680 anything controversial

00:55:50.420 today,

00:55:50.960 have I?

00:55:53.400 Portnoy?

00:55:54.020 Mike Portnoy?

00:55:55.240 Yeah,

00:55:55.480 I saw Dave Portnoy,

00:55:57.540 not Mike.

00:55:58.220 Oh,

00:56:05.500 what is the

00:56:06.180 Taylor Swift thing

00:56:07.220 that's happening?

00:56:08.540 Is there some kind

00:56:09.220 of thing about her?

00:56:10.180 Ticket prices are too

00:56:11.300 high or something?

00:56:12.700 Some kind of drama

00:56:13.800 about that?

00:56:15.340 Oh,

00:56:15.580 Mike Portnoy

00:56:16.180 is a great drummer.

00:56:17.880 I don't know him.

00:56:21.460 Oh,

00:56:21.940 because I said

00:56:22.360 Trump.

00:56:25.520 Next book

00:56:26.240 will be about

00:56:27.140 a year from now.

00:56:28.420 So it's,

00:56:29.400 I'm almost done

00:56:30.220 with the first draft,

00:56:31.460 but I won't be in time

00:56:32.620 for the spring cycle.

00:56:34.660 There's a spring release

00:56:35.760 and a fall release.

00:56:36.860 Publishers usually do.

00:56:38.280 So I'm going to

00:56:38.840 slightly miss

00:56:39.540 the spring release,

00:56:41.060 which,

00:56:41.600 you know,

00:56:41.880 adds six months.

00:56:43.540 But,

00:56:44.140 it'll be that much better.

00:56:46.520 I got to admit,

00:56:47.640 as I look over it,

00:56:49.680 so let me explain.

00:56:50.760 It's a book of reframes,

00:56:52.600 which are

00:56:53.080 quick little sentences

00:56:54.340 to just make you

00:56:55.360 think of something

00:56:55.980 differently.

00:56:57.060 And I swear to God,

00:56:57.880 it's turning out

00:56:58.500 to be like a book

00:56:59.420 of Harry Potter spells.

00:57:01.920 Because some of them

00:57:02.840 are just so powerful.

00:57:04.720 But I guess

00:57:05.600 you'll have to wait

00:57:06.060 to see it.

00:57:13.140 Audiobook will be

00:57:14.180 around the same time

00:57:15.100 as a regular book.

00:57:15.900 I should produce

00:57:20.680 these Trump hoax materials.

00:57:22.700 It's just too much work.

00:57:24.120 It's like a full-time job.

00:57:32.820 Dana Carvey

00:57:33.600 is a good drummer.

00:57:35.860 All right.

00:57:36.540 That's all for now.

00:57:37.260 I don't think

00:57:38.720 I have much

00:57:39.200 left to say.

00:57:42.360 I am best qualified,

00:57:43.700 you're right.

00:57:44.400 That is true.

00:57:45.540 But,

00:57:45.920 I don't know.

00:57:46.420 I don't have that kind of time.

00:57:47.820 But anyway,

00:57:48.540 YouTube,

00:57:49.880 I will talk to you

00:57:50.660 later.

00:57:52.960 It's Spotify too.

00:57:54.220 I don't know.

00:57:58.160 I don't know.

00:57:59.740 It's Spotify too.
