Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1938 Scott Adams： Ye Visits Trump. You Thought The News Would Be Boring Today？

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Highlight of Civilization.

00:00:08.140 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and today is a special Black Friday edition.

00:00:14.380 And if you'd like to take your Black Friday up to, oh, levels we've never seen before,

00:00:21.120 all you need is, you know what you need, all you need is a cupper mug or a glass,

00:00:26.660 a tanker, chalice, or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:31.000 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:34.960 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine here, the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:41.260 It's called the Simultaneous Sip. It happens now. Go.

00:00:49.860 Yeah, that's the good stuff right there.

00:00:52.020 Wow. So today is, as you know, Black Friday.

00:01:00.660 It's a little bit racist because when do white people get to shop? 0.56

00:01:07.120 I mean, how come white people don't have a day to shop? 0.62

00:01:10.280 Why is it only black? What? Oh, oh, black. I'm sorry. 1.00

00:01:14.320 It turns out that Black Friday has nothing to do with race.

00:01:17.820 I'm just so tuned to everything being about race.

00:01:21.860 I just think a white sale is for white people and Black Friday is for black people. 0.97

00:01:27.480 And if you try to shop at the black and white store, you better not go on the day that isn't your day.

00:01:32.860 Let me tell you. Do you shop at the black and white store?

00:01:36.400 Yeah. Wednesday is white people. 0.77

00:01:38.800 Thursday is black people. 0.98

00:01:39.780 Every other day, you have to make sure you don't go in the wrong day.

00:01:43.580 No, I'm making that up. It's not true.

00:01:46.220 None of that is true.

00:01:47.880 Everything I said is not true.

00:01:50.020 And that's how we play the holidays.

00:01:54.240 Well, there may be a story that you noticed.

00:01:58.340 Was anybody smart enough not to check the news before you came on?

00:02:02.020 Is there anybody who doesn't know the news about Mar-a-Lago and Trump?

00:02:08.860 Oh, perfect. Oh, perfect.

00:02:11.420 I'm so happy there's somebody who doesn't know the news.

00:02:14.340 Because I'm not sure you're going to believe it.

00:02:17.500 You might actually not even believe the news.

00:02:19.960 I'm going to tell you what is reported to have happened.

00:02:25.000 What's reported to happen is that Ye visited Mar-a-Lago and had dinner with Trump.

00:02:29.960 That part seems to be true.

00:02:32.620 So Ye reports it and reports details about it.

00:02:36.500 Now, apparently, the reporting, and credit to Tim Pool.

00:02:43.340 I think TimCast probably got the exclusive on this.

00:02:49.280 So check that out.

00:02:50.660 So check Tim Pool's, the TimCast website.

00:02:54.740 So give him some credit for the scoop.

00:02:57.700 I think it's a scoop.

00:03:00.420 I think it's a good one, too.

00:03:02.740 So here's what we know.

00:03:05.320 Kanye did not go alone.

00:03:08.040 He brought Milo Yiannopoulos and Nick Fuentes.

00:03:14.360 And somebody I didn't know before who worked on Trump's election in 2016 for Florida,

00:03:20.980 I guess did a good job for Trump's campaign, Karen Giorno.

00:03:24.240 Now, it's very important to the story that you know the cast of characters to try to figure out what's going on here.

00:03:34.620 And then I'll tell you what happened at the dinner.

00:03:36.420 The dinner didn't go well, according to Ye.

00:03:39.080 All right.

00:03:41.920 So by Ye bringing this Karen Giorno, the thinking is that he's signaling his seriousness for running for president.

00:03:51.760 Because she's a serious player. 0.71

00:03:53.580 People respect her for campaigns.

00:03:55.760 So that's the first part of the play.

00:03:57.560 The second part of the play is the two people who brought Milo Yiannopoulos as potentially his campaign manager.

00:04:06.920 I don't know if that's confirmed or just something he said.

00:04:10.140 And you're going to have to look up Nick Fuentes on your own.

00:04:14.520 Can you do that for me?

00:04:16.020 This story doesn't make sense unless you do your own research.

00:04:20.500 Now, the reason I'm not going to describe him to you is that I don't want to be on record describing him.

00:04:29.400 And if you do enough research, you'll know why.

00:04:32.940 All right.

00:04:34.180 He has a lot of supporters.

00:04:37.040 So if I were to describe him in a way that they did not like, they swarm you.

00:04:42.880 They're called Groypers. 1.00

00:04:43.920 So he actually has a very active community of people who will visit you in an aggressive way, in a variety of ways, if you said something that was not to their liking.

00:04:56.440 So instead of saying that, I would ask you to do your own research.

00:05:02.020 So whatever you want to think about him.

00:05:03.740 The only clue I'll give you is if Kanye had two choices.

00:05:11.720 No, I can't do it.

00:05:13.940 I can't do it.

00:05:15.880 Okay.

00:05:16.420 This is the only clue I'm going to give you.

00:05:19.680 If Kanye wanted to get rid of the impression that he was anti-Semitic, this would be the worst way you would do it.

00:05:31.140 Which is not a statement about Fuentes.

00:05:33.740 So I'm not making a statement about Fuentes.

00:05:36.940 I'm saying that if Ye's intention was to someday get rid of that anti-Semitism claim, this would be the very worst way you could do it.

00:05:47.120 The very worst way.

00:05:48.180 In fact, most people hearing the story would say, oh, I guess we were totally right about what we were thinking about Ye.

00:05:57.680 So let's assume there's more to the story than we know so far.

00:06:02.020 Because I'm pretty sure that's true.

00:06:04.860 We're still in that fog of war phrase.

00:06:06.920 There's going to be some more surprises coming out of this.

00:06:09.480 But what you need to know is that if Trump had known, if Trump had known who Ye was bringing with him, and I think the reporting is a little unclear, he may not have known and may not have actually been sitting with or having dinner with Fuentes.

00:06:25.980 I'm not sure, because there were multiple tables there, so I'm not sure if he even talked to Fuentes, Trump himself.

00:06:33.320 So the first question is, was Jared there?

00:06:41.280 That's a good question.

00:06:42.920 He wasn't at the table, but that's a good question.

00:06:47.220 Now, apparently halfway through the meal, or halfway through the meeting or whatever, Trump was called away, took a phone call, and then came back, and the entire tone of the meeting changed.

00:06:59.140 And it was clear that Trump was just trying to get them the hell out of there.

00:07:03.480 And I guess Trump said something about Kim Kardashian that was a little nasty.

00:07:10.260 And Ye took that wrong, because he was like, uh, that's the mother of my children.

00:07:16.520 That didn't go well.

00:07:18.020 Ye says he asked Trump to be his vice presidential running mate.

00:07:22.940 Ye says that didn't go well.

00:07:24.560 Well, but, you know, presumably Trump took that as not serious.

00:07:29.860 Here's what I think.

00:07:31.360 I think that somebody called Trump out of the room to tell him that Fuentes was in the room.

00:07:38.780 Maybe.

00:07:40.360 So somebody may have said, you just got sandbagged by who's in your room.

00:07:45.720 So you've got some people there that you need to disassociate with.

00:07:49.020 So somebody might have clued in Trump that there was somebody else in the associated area he wasn't aware of.

00:07:56.400 Maybe.

00:07:57.640 Maybe.

00:07:58.180 So that's just speculation.

00:08:00.400 All right.

00:08:01.480 So, uh,

00:08:04.520 so what do you make of the fact that Ye is acting seriously enough about his run

00:08:12.020 that he, he actually convinced a serious Florida campaign manager to attend with him,

00:08:18.800 and that she was also convinced to attend with Milo,

00:08:24.320 who, if you don't know Milo Yiannopoulos' background,

00:08:27.720 I'd ask you to do a little research on him as well.

00:08:32.360 Because I'm not going to,

00:08:34.940 I'm not going to insult or defend any of these characters.

00:08:38.720 I'll just tell you that if you wanted to be president,

00:08:42.400 those would be your two most interesting choices.

00:08:46.380 Like you,

00:08:46.880 it's almost like you would almost think Ye was trying to make sure he never had a good reputation again.

00:08:55.980 Right?

00:08:56.640 Now that's not a comment about who he brought.

00:09:00.140 That's a comment about how it will be seen.

00:09:04.220 Right?

00:09:04.420 So I'm not going to give you my opinion on any of it.

00:09:06.720 I'll just say that's how it will be seen.

00:09:08.180 It will be seen as almost mental illness, somebody said in the comments.

00:09:12.920 It almost looks like mental illness.

00:09:15.060 Except how do you,

00:09:16.060 how does the mental ill guy get all those three people to go to Mar-a-Locco?

00:09:22.200 There's something else going on.

00:09:24.880 All right.

00:09:25.320 Here's what I think.

00:09:27.220 I think,

00:09:28.420 I think,

00:09:30.740 Ye just decapitated Trump.

00:09:33.340 Because even though the reporting might come out that Trump didn't really know who was going to show up,

00:09:40.660 it will always be reported that Trump had some kind of dinner with these folks.

00:09:47.240 So the left has the perfect take Trump angle.

00:09:53.800 This is basically the fine people hoax.

00:09:59.040 It's just that.

00:10:00.140 Because all you have to do is tell the story out of context, and he's over.

00:10:04.640 And the out of context is, did he know that who was in the room?

00:10:08.400 My guess is there's very little chance he would have allowed that.

00:10:13.600 If he knew,

00:10:14.380 because I think he did know,

00:10:16.240 you know,

00:10:16.920 he did know the characters.

00:10:18.020 He probably knew who the people.

00:10:19.300 I don't think he would have allowed it.

00:10:21.340 Because it would have been insane.

00:10:23.300 Right?

00:10:23.940 So here's what I think.

00:10:25.020 I think that Ye has a backer who is trying to take Trump out.

00:10:31.740 And he sent a little poison pill into Mar-a-Lago to end Trump's viability.

00:10:40.140 And that Ye may not have been exactly on that page.

00:10:45.720 Ye might just be thinking he's running for president and getting some help from some powerful people behind the curtain.

00:10:51.500 So somebody behind the curtain put him together with those two characters.

00:10:57.660 In a normal world, Ye doesn't meet Milo.

00:11:02.180 Maybe Milo, but he doesn't meet Nick Fuentes.

00:11:04.780 They don't run in the same circles.

00:11:07.360 There's a matchmaker here. 1.00

00:11:09.880 So when you find the matchmaker,

00:11:12.620 find the one person who knows all three of those people.

00:11:16.420 Milo, Fuentes, and Karen Giorno.

00:11:19.600 Well, if you find who knows those three people,

00:11:23.720 you'll probably know more about this situation.

00:11:27.960 But it looks like it was to take out Trump.

00:11:32.600 What do you think?

00:11:34.200 Because I can't see another reason for it.

00:11:36.520 It just looks like he was trying to take him out.

00:11:39.600 Now, suppose Ye actually runs,

00:11:45.900 and he actually gets on the ballot.

00:11:48.720 Who knows?

00:11:49.300 Anything could happen.

00:11:51.020 I don't think he's going to fund it enough to get on the ballots.

00:11:54.240 I don't know.

00:11:55.200 But suppose he does.

00:11:58.100 Could Ye change the vote enough

00:12:00.080 that he becomes the kingmaker?

00:12:03.020 Could Ye be the one who decides who wins

00:12:06.200 by just being one who could siphon off 2% from either side?

00:12:11.900 And could his endorsement in the end,

00:12:14.220 let's assume he gets 5% of the vote or something in polls,

00:12:19.780 and then at the end he has to withdraw,

00:12:23.140 but he puts his support behind somebody.

00:12:25.980 Would that matter?

00:12:27.120 I don't know.

00:12:27.820 Probably not.

00:12:28.840 I don't think his endorsement would make any difference.

00:12:33.820 But it's the most interesting story,

00:12:35.920 and I can't imagine that it happened organically.

00:12:39.080 Now, here's some more speculation.

00:12:41.800 I don't believe that Ye knows much about Nick Fuentes.

00:12:47.560 What do you think?

00:12:50.220 Do you think that Ye was actually fully aware of Nick's background?

00:12:56.120 Because if he did know his background,

00:12:58.840 that would suggest that he's actually intentionally doing

00:13:02.740 an anti-Jewish campaign.

00:13:05.180 Who would do that?

00:13:07.720 But then I would ask,

00:13:09.460 who would say what Ye has already said in public?

00:13:12.520 I don't know anybody who would do that.

00:13:14.840 Well, who's the basketball player who did?

00:13:18.260 I guess there is at least one other person who would do it.

00:13:22.960 Yeah, Fuentes is obscure for now.

00:13:24.800 Somebody's saying Nick Fuentes is obscure.

00:13:27.200 Oh, Kyrie, yeah.

00:13:27.980 So Kyrie Irving's maybe the other person who would do it.

00:13:31.280 But we're in strange territory where you can't rule out things just because it sounds crazy.

00:13:37.680 If you had told me a week ago, yeah, Ye will pick Milo Yiannopoulos as his campaign manager,

00:13:44.940 I would have ruled that out as obviously crazy.

00:13:47.940 Well, that's obviously crazy.

00:13:49.640 But it appears to be happening.

00:13:52.020 If you told me that those three would go together to Mar-a-Lago one week ago,

00:13:55.880 I would have said, no, no, that's not going to happen.

00:14:00.460 That's crazy.

00:14:01.980 But it happened.

00:14:02.980 Apparently it happened.

00:14:04.580 So I'm not sure what you can rule out.

00:14:08.680 What can you rule out and in anymore if that happens?

00:14:11.140 How many of you, let's see, let's take the two hypotheses and let's see, take the temperature of the room.

00:14:17.700 I'm going to read the room a little bit here.

00:14:20.000 How many of you think it was exactly what it looked like and Trump allowed those three people,

00:14:25.880 who he understood were coming, to come to Mar-a-Lago?

00:14:28.900 How many think it's exactly what it looks like on the surface?

00:14:33.020 Mostly no's.

00:14:33.880 There's more to it, right?

00:14:37.400 All right.

00:14:38.260 How many believe that Ye knew exactly the full nature of the people he was bringing with him,

00:14:44.700 or the full accusations against him at least?

00:14:49.800 It's mixed.

00:14:50.720 Some of you think Ye knew, and some of you think he did not know.

00:14:56.000 Yeah.

00:14:56.560 Could be either way.

00:14:58.240 Now there's another possibility here, which is really interesting.

00:15:02.620 Really interesting.

00:15:04.880 If Ye continues with his, maybe it's a strategy, I don't know, but if it's a strategy,

00:15:12.960 suppose Ye just collects everybody who's been canceled, but canceled for different reasons.

00:15:19.220 You know, pick somebody who's like, looks racist against white people,

00:15:23.000 but also pick somebody who's been accused of being racist against somebody else.

00:15:29.220 You know, just all the people who've been accused of the worst things.

00:15:32.020 You know, Milo's been accused of, you know, underage, let's say promotion of underage stuff in the gay community. 0.68

00:15:39.260 I don't know if that's a good way to characterize it.

00:15:41.900 I don't want to care.

00:15:42.800 That's why I don't want to talk about them, because I don't want to get into the accusations.

00:15:46.140 That's the part where I don't want to be.

00:15:53.140 I just saw a funny meme go by on Locals.

00:15:55.160 All right, well, I don't know what to make of this story.

00:15:58.500 In my opinion, you will find out how this matters by watching how Fox News covers it.

00:16:04.980 Now, you've noticed, I think you've seen the reporting that Murdoch owns Fox News and Wall Street Journal and the Post, New York Post,

00:16:16.460 that he's sort of anti-Trump this time.

00:16:19.560 So will they treat the story like it's a big story, because it's got these interesting elements to it,

00:16:25.720 or will they ignore it?

00:16:29.480 Because think of this.

00:16:31.220 If they cover the story, it would probably be for the purpose of taking Trump out.

00:16:37.640 Right?

00:16:38.700 If Fox covers it as, oh, Trump made this huge mistake, and now he's out.

00:16:46.280 He can't possibly win because he associated with people that, you know, will be easy targets for the left.

00:16:53.860 Or will they ignore it?

00:16:56.180 Will they ignore it?

00:16:57.560 And how does Fox News ignore this story?

00:17:01.480 How do you ignore it?

00:17:03.460 Have they ignored it so far?

00:17:05.260 Let's check.

00:17:06.980 All right, let's open the Fox News app.

00:17:11.060 I haven't done this yet.

00:17:13.260 So, we'll see.

00:17:15.280 So, clearly, wouldn't you say it's the biggest story?

00:17:20.580 Yeah, somebody's saying Paul Ryan is on the board of Fox News.

00:17:24.220 All right, so, I'll just look at the headlines.

00:17:30.540 All right, so there's a shooter thing, a lost hiker thing, an Elon Musk thing, more Musk things, another shooting thing.

00:17:40.100 There's something about guns.

00:17:44.560 Nope.

00:17:46.860 I'm going, going, going.

00:17:50.840 It's not a story.

00:17:51.860 So, Fox News is treating it as it doesn't exist.

00:17:58.880 Nope, it's not a story.

00:18:01.280 So, if I hadn't read it on, I guess it's on the Hill, but I think the Hill got it from Tim Poole's reporting.

00:18:07.880 If we didn't have podcasts, or podcasters, well, give me a fact check on this.

00:18:14.960 All right, here's a fact check.

00:18:17.840 Would this even be a story if Cassandra Fairbanks had not written about it on the TimCast website?

00:18:26.880 Because then I think the Hill picked it up, and then Twitter saw it.

00:18:35.160 MTG saying she might be on the ticket?

00:18:37.900 That's interesting.

00:18:38.700 Somebody says, it's yay being yay.

00:18:44.440 Are you sure it happened?

00:18:45.500 No.

00:18:46.440 Yeah, there are photographs of all the people in the room, but it's like a blurry photo.

00:18:52.620 It's possible that they...

00:18:54.900 No, I think there is a reporting that Fuentes was there.

00:18:57.520 I think there's enough reporting to say that happened.

00:19:02.160 Anyway.

00:19:03.940 Milo is working for MTG, you say?

00:19:05.920 I don't know about that.

00:19:07.280 Photoshop, yeah, it could be Photoshop.

00:19:09.960 It could be just somebody else.

00:19:11.120 It was somebody with sunglasses on.

00:19:13.860 Move along.

00:19:14.820 This is nothing.

00:19:16.040 It might be.

00:19:17.120 Maybe it's a whole nothing.

00:19:18.620 One of the things I always liked about Trump is that he ran a pirate ship.

00:19:23.700 You know, his pirate ship was anybody who wants to help support him.

00:19:26.880 It's like, okay, you're a pirate, but you can get on.

00:19:33.880 And where is that?

00:19:35.640 Yeah.

00:19:37.280 Milo was full Trump with Tim Kass just weeks ago.

00:19:46.020 Yeah.

00:19:46.980 All right.

00:19:47.660 Well, let's talk about Twitter, the other most interesting story in the world.

00:19:51.440 Apparently, Elon Musk has confirmed that there were no notable leftists who were ever banned on Twitter for anything.

00:20:03.920 And he's confirmed that basically it was a nest of San Francisco and Berkeley opinions that they were imposing themselves on the world.

00:20:12.700 Which is exactly what you thought it was.

00:20:15.880 Have you ever been this right about anything?

00:20:20.880 Like, normally, to me, this is like finding out that the 69 moonwalk was actually faked or something.

00:20:29.160 It would be, you know, there would be a whole bunch of people who would say, that's exactly what it looked like to me.

00:20:35.540 I don't believe it was faked, by the way.

00:20:37.340 That's not my belief.

00:20:38.180 But doesn't it, I don't know, it's almost too on the nose, isn't it?

00:20:45.080 It's so obviously true, and then it's confirmed.

00:20:48.080 I didn't really expect it.

00:20:52.400 I expected what we would find was that there were a few people who had found a way to put their finger on the scales,

00:21:00.540 and maybe the other people were a little bit unaware of it.

00:21:03.700 But it looks like it was a cultural fact that they were just suppressing conservative opinion.

00:21:14.580 Somebody's asking about Jack Dorsey.

00:21:16.040 I think he was just running two corporations, and it was hard to weed out, you know, weed out what was going on below the hood, I think.

00:21:25.700 Probably.

00:21:26.560 I think it was just hard to figure out what was going on there.

00:21:28.960 And maybe hard to fire the people who needed to be fired.

00:21:32.840 But apparently Elon Musk didn't have that problem.

00:21:35.320 He's firing anybody who needs to be fired.

00:21:38.180 And I guess a left-leaning Twitter account has been finally suspended.

00:21:44.620 So a leftist was suspended for essentially death threats against libs of TikTok and Matt Walsh and gays against groomers and some other people.

00:21:58.280 And Tim Poole.

00:21:59.300 Tim Poole's in the news a lot.

00:22:00.840 So I could not be happier about Twitter.

00:22:11.200 Is Twitter the thing that's most going right in the world right now?

00:22:14.920 And, you know, this whole thing we talked about, how Twitter is like a cybernetic brain.

00:22:22.880 If you get your cybernetic brain right, and it looks like Musk is on the way of doing that, like, that fixes a lot, doesn't it?

00:22:31.360 Because I don't think, you know, I've said this before, but it's worth repeating because you're not seeing the full effect yet.

00:22:36.480 When the 2024 race gets under full speed, the mainstream media won't be able to lie like it did.

00:22:46.780 Because as long as Twitter was covering the lie, they could say anything.

00:22:51.480 But now Twitter won't cover the lies.

00:22:54.260 Twitter will be exposing the lies.

00:22:56.700 What will the mainstream media do?

00:22:58.220 Because they've evolved into, you know, a propaganda, propaganda platforms.

00:23:04.120 Can they, can they pivot in time and actually do news?

00:23:09.080 I don't know.

00:23:14.040 So what else we got going on?

00:23:19.940 So I'm watching with, like, weird interest that the, the Democrats who are,

00:23:26.940 experienced what I'm going to call Twitter failure porn.

00:23:32.640 Have you seen it yet?

00:23:34.420 People on the left who are anti-Musk and now anti-Twitter.

00:23:38.180 And they're, they're, they're tweeting with glee about what they see as the potential,

00:23:45.440 you know, complete destruction of Twitter.

00:23:48.360 Oh, it's not going to last.

00:23:50.280 And I, and I watched in the beginning, it started this way.

00:23:53.620 Oh, 75% of the staff is going to quit.

00:23:56.080 But he's in so much trouble.

00:23:59.580 And then you, then slowly it starts dawning on you.

00:24:02.940 Wait a minute.

00:24:03.940 He has successfully replaced the entire marketing department by just tweeting.

00:24:09.620 And business is up.

00:24:11.040 So slowly you say, okay, okay.

00:24:13.560 Granted, there may have been a few too many people at Twitter, like the marketing department.

00:24:19.120 Okay, that's a special case, but that's not like the story of what's happening.

00:24:24.080 That's just one department.

00:24:25.800 Yes, yes, he can replace one whole department just by tweeting, but that's just one department.

00:24:32.140 And then you say to yourself, but, you know, those engineers are leaving too.

00:24:36.020 And then you realize that Twitter upgraded features is rapidly iterating and is already better and has gotten rid of pedophile hashtags.

00:24:47.660 And you say to yourself, okay, okay, it's possible that the engineers who left were not the A-team.

00:24:57.060 It looks like maybe the people who were there had fewer people to get in the way, and they just got some business done really quickly in a hardcore way, just the way Musk said.

00:25:06.300 So, okay, okay, yes, yes, special case, he doesn't need marketing, and I'll give you, I'll give you that he doesn't need every single engineer.

00:25:15.160 But, man, that, you know, what about his debt?

00:25:18.880 I mean, his debt is going to crush him.

00:25:20.360 I mean, there's no way he's going to pay for all that.

00:25:22.420 Okay, if you get rid of half or 75% of your employees, and it is by far the greatest part of your expense base,

00:25:29.220 yes, it turns out you could actually make it a cash faucet by doing the things that Musk is doing.

00:25:37.060 And probably if business stays good, the advertisers will slowly come back.

00:25:44.900 So, okay, maybe it's not a financial mess, right?

00:25:48.560 So, yeah, he doesn't need marketing, I'll give you that.

00:25:50.660 And maybe he's found a way to make it a little bit profitable, but, you know, how is that going to work when all the engineers are leaving?

00:25:57.560 Okay, maybe it was only the bad engineers are leaving.

00:26:01.920 Today, this is where it got all the way to today.

00:26:06.560 As of today, this is all they have left for their Twitter failure porn.

00:26:14.180 Robert Reich tweets this.

00:26:17.660 Here's what Elon Musk fails to understand.

00:26:21.020 Much of a corporation's value lies in their workers, their knowledge, skills, and ideas.

00:26:25.940 When he fired half of Twitter's workforce, he drove off even more.

00:26:31.500 He wasn't, quote, cutting costs.

00:26:33.780 He was actively destroying what he bought.

00:26:37.540 And it's attached to an article about, or at least Wall Street Journal has an article today.

00:26:42.360 I forget if he attached it.

00:26:44.040 But Wall Street Journal has an article that Twitter might be having problem with all of their regulatory compliance,

00:26:51.680 because a lot of the regulatory compliance people left.

00:26:57.900 It's all the way down to, well, we're not sure that the people left in the regulatory compliance group can cover all the work.

00:27:06.680 Have they had a problem so far?

00:27:09.420 No.

00:27:10.960 No.

00:27:13.100 No.

00:27:14.020 No, they have not had a problem that we're aware of.

00:27:16.840 I mean, nobody's suing them or anything like that.

00:27:19.120 So, apparently, you can just get rid of everybody.

00:27:23.400 Now, what about Robert Reich's point?

00:27:27.160 Do you believe that Twitter was really the real value is in the workforce,

00:27:30.520 and now having gutted so much of the workforce, he's removed the hearts from Twitter.

00:27:36.860 The beating heart has been removed from Twitter.

00:27:40.700 All right.

00:27:41.040 Well, Robert Reich, I believe, taught at the business school where I got my business degree at Berkeley.

00:27:48.160 And that's not exactly what I learned in business school.

00:27:54.820 This wasn't exactly the version of business that I learned.

00:27:59.200 The version of business I learned goes like this.

00:28:03.140 You can get rid of half of any group.

00:28:06.740 You can get rid of half of any group.

00:28:08.680 If it's a mature group, you can get rid of half of them.

00:28:12.180 You'll be fine.

00:28:13.860 That's what I learned.

00:28:15.600 I learned that your groups become bloated over time.

00:28:19.680 You know, Jack Dorsey said it directly.

00:28:21.600 He grew too fast.

00:28:23.480 You know, he said it directly.

00:28:24.420 He said that's on him.

00:28:25.220 So all I see is that he cut the dead weight and he's, you know, redoing the business model and everything looks like it's going to be fine.

00:28:34.700 He was actually, Musk was actually mocking people, saying, wasn't Twitter supposed to be dead by now?

00:28:40.160 It was, you know, more traffic than ever.

00:28:42.220 Well, here's a story that it's a good thing.

00:28:47.420 It came out on Black Friday so that it wouldn't get much news coverage.

00:28:52.880 But apparently the Biden administration is very close to approving a Chevron deal in Venezuela to pump a lot of oil in Venezuela.

00:29:03.920 Now, you might say to yourself, Scott, why don't we just pump more oil in the United States because oil is oil and why wouldn't we just keep the money in the United States and pump our own oil?

00:29:18.740 Why would we let somebody who may be a communist, you know, hellhole, why would we help them when we've been sanctioning them?

00:29:27.760 Well, here's what you don't know.

00:29:29.000 Now, that sweet, sweet Venezuelan oil, that's not like American oil.

00:29:34.180 That American oil, that's like climate change-y.

00:29:38.400 Like, you get some of that shit on you, you put that in your car, the entire planet just starts disintegrating.

00:29:45.940 I mean, the atmosphere of the planet would actually, if you could see it from space, you'd see it starting to crinkle in.

00:29:53.620 That's American oil.

00:29:54.940 You put some of that Venezuelan oil, that's green oil.

00:29:57.960 That is green, green oil.

00:30:00.580 You can actually put a straw in it and drink it.

00:30:05.100 It's that green.

00:30:06.440 Now, I don't know if this is confirmed yet, but there are lots of reports of people rubbing the Venezuelan crude oil on their body to cure COVID.

00:30:17.200 COVID.

00:30:18.640 Yeah, COVID is completely cured.

00:30:20.320 Now, this is not, it wasn't a randomized controlled trial, but observationally, I think there was some strong observational data that if you rub, and you have to get it all over your body.

00:30:30.680 Some people would make the mistake of, it's like, oh, I'll rub a little of that Venezuelan crude on my back or my chest, and then I'll cure my COVID. 1.00

00:30:38.180 But no, you have to practically dunk yourself in it.

00:30:42.800 You've got to get it all the way under the fingernails.

00:30:45.020 You've got to, because the COVID, the COVID can get in and out, you know, from the smallest hole.

00:30:50.340 So you've got to completely cover yourself with crude, and so far there's, I don't know if you've heard this, but there has not been one COVID death in Venezuela from someone who covered their body with crude oil.

00:31:08.020 Zero.

00:31:09.580 Now, if you tell me that's a coincidence, I'll tell you, what have you been smoking?

00:31:15.720 Because that is something called science.

00:31:18.600 Science.

00:31:19.000 If a lot of people had covered themselves with crude oil and then also died from COVID, I'd say, well, I'm not going to trust that as a COVID cure.

00:31:28.280 But zero people have covered themselves entirely with Venezuelan oil, died of COVID, I'd say that's, well, that's science. 0.50

00:31:38.700 Occam's razor, right there.

00:31:41.560 So that's all good news.

00:31:42.920 At the same time, weirdly, apparently there's this massive oil refinery that got approved 30 miles off the coast of Texas that would add 2 million barrels per day of export capacity for the U.S.

00:31:58.760 Now, if you're following your energy stories, you have Biden not allowing Americans to drill more oil, but maybe approving the Venezuelans to create oil, but we're building a massive export refinery to export the massive amount of oil that we can't drill for.

00:32:26.040 All right, it's all confusing.

00:32:28.040 All right, it's all, like, confusing.

00:32:29.060 It's all confusing.

00:32:30.240 Yeah, it's actually for export.

00:32:33.120 All right, here's what I really think.

00:32:34.680 I think the Ukraine war has always largely been a war to steal Russia's energy business.

00:32:44.940 That's what I think.

00:32:46.360 I think this was always a pickpocket war.

00:32:50.520 Russia was too strong with their energy business.

00:32:53.700 They were too strong economically.

00:32:56.320 And they were too strong militarily because they were strong economically.

00:33:00.000 And I think that between the fact that our energy companies would like that business and the fact that Russia was getting too strong, but they had one point of failure.

00:33:10.700 Russia's one point of failure is they had one business, one main business.

00:33:15.980 So some people said Russia is a gas station with nuclear weapons.

00:33:21.160 That's sort of all they are, a military and an energy business.

00:33:23.800 Well, if you can't beat them militarily, you can take them out of business, and then they can't fund their military.

00:33:30.840 So I think what you're seeing is a long-term, you know, maybe a neocon play to simply take Russia off the geopolitical map.

00:33:40.500 And it looks like it might work.

00:33:42.940 The only thing...

00:33:46.340 Scott has given 10 different explanations for different reasons for the war.

00:33:51.500 Have I?

00:33:53.780 Have I?

00:33:58.420 What was my other reason?

00:34:01.800 I don't believe I have.

00:34:03.960 Now, I've reported that other people have speculated Ukraine is a big money laundering thing and, you know...

00:34:10.780 Oh, lithium. Lithium.

00:34:12.500 Lithium could be part of it.

00:34:13.820 But remember, lithium would be part of the American energy companies wanting to control energy.

00:34:21.500 So it's very similar to wanting to put Russia out of the energy business.

00:34:26.400 It's all related.

00:34:29.560 And, yeah, it may be about laundering money.

00:34:31.800 I think corruption and laundering money may be a big part of the story.

00:34:34.560 That's possible.

00:34:35.080 So, I feel as though for...

00:34:42.380 How much have we spent so far in Ukraine?

00:34:45.000 What's our cumulative price tag?

00:34:47.720 Is it...

00:34:48.500 I remember seeing $56 billion, but somebody said $200 billion, $40 billion, $70 billion now?

00:34:55.460 Yeah, we're probably going to pass $200 billion, wouldn't you think?

00:35:01.200 Because eventually we end up, you know, reconstruction and all that.

00:35:05.540 All right, let's say it's $200 billion.

00:35:07.420 Do you think if you knew in advance that $200 billion would take Russia just off the map in terms of something we have to worry about,

00:35:17.240 do you think that would be worth $200 billion?

00:35:21.660 Now, it's also, of course, destroying Ukraine, so that's a separate question. 0.76

00:35:25.900 It can't be ignored.

00:35:28.060 I don't know.

00:35:29.240 I think that a lot of people would argue that it's a good investment.

00:35:33.400 My economics degree tells me it's a good investment if it works.

00:35:41.120 If it doesn't work, it's the dumbest thing anybody ever did, right?

00:35:44.660 Because if it becomes nuclear war, it's the worst thing anybody ever did.

00:35:48.260 But there is a scenario where the Biden administration took Russia completely off of the geopolitical map

00:35:55.560 and replaced their energy business with American energy at some point.

00:36:00.900 And we end up paying for it.

00:36:05.600 In other words, if American energy replaced Russian energy or some big portion of it,

00:36:12.020 that would be enough of a stimulus to the American economy forever, forever,

00:36:17.900 that it would pay for the $200 billion.

00:36:19.900 I'll bet our tax collections over time would pay for it.

00:36:27.380 It actually looks like a reasonable investment.

00:36:29.440 Now, that's not a reason to do it.

00:36:32.080 I'm not saying, you know, go Ukraine and go buy us some energy business.

00:36:37.380 I'm not saying I approve it.

00:36:39.160 I'm saying it looks like it could work.

00:36:42.960 I know.

00:36:43.900 I'm not sure I would have said that at the beginning.

00:36:46.720 Did not see that coming.

00:36:48.140 I'm not even sure anybody saw it coming.

00:36:50.200 But I do, more and more I'm convinced that the Russian military is at the point of total collapse.

00:36:55.640 Now, that might not be enough for Ukraine to take back territory.

00:37:00.500 But it looks, you know, and before you say it, yes, I understand all of the reporting out of the area is suspect.

00:37:08.820 Nobody believes anything out of the area.

00:37:10.460 But if Russia were not at the point of collapse, I would expect them to be doing offensive moves, wouldn't you?

00:37:21.760 Can you imagine the Russian military being still effective but only playing defense?

00:37:27.640 And actually, I believe somebody was mocking them for saying that their only successes that they've claimed lately are how quickly they retreated.

00:37:40.920 That Russia actually reported as a success how rapidly they retreated from a Ukrainian onslaught.

00:37:48.880 Like, that really happened.

00:37:50.400 That's all they had.

00:37:51.480 Well, we got a lot of people out.

00:37:52.680 So, if you don't hear about any Russian offense except taking out energy plants, that all sort of suggests that their military just stopped working.

00:38:05.620 They might not have any offensive capabilities at all except, you know, shelling and drones and stuff.

00:38:13.200 The Russians don't engage in winter offensives.

00:38:16.720 I'll give you that.

00:38:18.660 But I'll bet it's more than that.

00:38:19.980 I think at the end of the winter, there won't be much left.

00:38:22.680 Because apparently the Ukrainian weapons are more accurate.

00:38:28.680 So, they're just picking off.

00:38:30.100 Have you seen the videos of the small drones dropping little bombs on troops?

00:38:39.120 Imagine being there dug in for the winter as a Russian troop. 0.94

00:38:42.680 You know, you're freezing all winter long.

00:38:44.640 You don't have enough to eat.

00:38:46.440 You know, the bathroom is outdoors probably.

00:38:49.260 And every day, like every day, there's a drone that comes over and drops the equivalent of a hand grenade into every little group of you standing around.

00:39:02.700 Those are the videos we're seeing now.

00:39:04.540 Now, I don't know how many drones they have that can drop a hand grenade or a little bomblet.

00:39:08.460 But they have them.

00:39:10.420 I can't imagine anything that would be more destructive to morale.

00:39:16.040 Do you?

00:39:16.340 Like, if you're being shelled, that's pretty scary. 1.00

00:39:21.320 But you hide until the shelling stops.

00:39:23.700 So, if you have a good hole, you're thinking, well, I'll probably not be killed because I'm in this hole and I know the shelling's happening.

00:39:30.540 But if you don't know, anytime you walk outside, if this little hand grenade is going to drop from the sky, that would be super, super scary.

00:39:40.820 Wouldn't it?

00:39:41.940 Like, the psychological impact of the drones dropping bombs on every little collection of Russian conscripts.

00:39:50.100 I don't know.

00:39:50.540 I don't think there's going to be much left of the Russian army.

00:39:52.400 So, China is in trouble still, their economy.

00:39:59.380 They've got, they're going into more shutdowns.

00:40:03.180 And that's going to create more, maybe, supply chain problems.

00:40:08.400 So, Russia's economy is in the toilet.

00:40:12.980 So, Russia's doing poorly.

00:40:14.760 China's doing poorly.

00:40:16.140 How's the United States doing?

00:40:17.320 So, here's the thing that I'm not sure anybody has caught.

00:40:23.320 When it comes to military defense and everything else that matters, whoever has the best economy usually comes out ahead.

00:40:32.920 Because that's expensive stuff.

00:40:35.100 The only thing the United States has to do is do better than China and Russia. 0.95

00:40:42.460 That's what we have to do.

00:40:43.720 Our economy just has to be stronger than those two.

00:40:47.640 And we end up still being the dominant economy of the world.

00:40:50.660 And then we're in fine shape.

00:40:52.220 And it looks like we have gained compared to both of them.

00:40:55.500 It looks like Russia will be degraded forever.

00:40:58.480 But I don't see that for America.

00:41:00.800 America is going to have an inflation problem for a long time.

00:41:04.040 But we can work through it.

00:41:06.060 It's something we know how to handle, basically.

00:41:09.420 You know, with great hardship.

00:41:11.040 But we know how to do it.

00:41:11.840 And we have a lot of debt.

00:41:14.380 But we also have the strongest country.

00:41:17.200 Right.

00:41:17.600 If the United States went, I don't know, what's the equivalent of bankrupt or whatever countries do, it would destroy the world.

00:41:26.540 So, you need somebody who wants to collect your money and put you out of business before it can happen.

00:41:32.820 And default, yeah.

00:41:33.840 I think the United States could default and it would barely change its credit because nobody else would be better.

00:41:43.680 You know, you'd still be better off with a shaky American debt situation than with somebody else's better debt situation.

00:41:51.240 All right.

00:41:53.520 So, I don't know.

00:41:59.840 We could be on the verge of some complete dominance by America in a way that we've never seen before.

00:42:08.900 At one point, we used to think America was the one superpower, but, you know, at least two others have some, they've got some nukes that we have to worry about that are not on our side.

00:42:20.560 But I think we're going to go back to, I think we're going to go back to America as the only superpower.

00:42:25.360 Because it looks like China's in big trouble.

00:42:29.040 All right.

00:42:29.600 Here's what I need from my government.

00:42:32.660 I need from my government something like this.

00:42:38.100 Some kind of a matrix that shows me what industries have their manufacturing in China.

00:42:45.240 And something to tell me what percentage, you know, is flowing back to somewhere else.

00:42:50.660 Could be to Vietnam.

00:42:51.640 It doesn't have to be back to America.

00:42:52.880 I would like to know how exposed we are and specifically for our key industries.

00:42:59.260 So, I'd like to see, for example, I'd like to see China has 80% of our big pharma production.

00:43:08.800 But we've already brought back 10% in the past two years because, you know, we're trying to be less at risk.

00:43:17.720 Have we?

00:43:19.320 What if we brought back 10% already?

00:43:22.880 That would give me hope that we have this under control.

00:43:26.500 Like maybe it'll be 20% next year, etc.

00:43:29.340 What if it's nothing?

00:43:32.680 What if we've actually increased reliance on China?

00:43:36.360 I wouldn't know.

00:43:37.500 Would you know?

00:43:38.120 I don't know any reporting or metric that says what percentage of our total manufacturing is ending up in China and whether it's even flowing in our direction.

00:43:50.140 Don't you think that's like a super important number?

00:43:52.700 Has anybody ever seen that number?

00:43:56.320 Have you ever seen any reporting on that or any attempt to report it?

00:44:02.120 I feel as if the federal government should maybe make that a reporting requirement.

00:44:09.860 I hate government requirements for reporting.

00:44:12.340 But given that this is the most important number, other than employment, you know, maybe GDP, employment, and then this.

00:44:19.040 That's like third most important number, probably.

00:44:22.280 Maybe debt.

00:44:28.600 But wouldn't you like to know if something is...

00:44:30.840 Because remember, Biden made a big deal about how he was bringing manufacturing back.

00:44:37.200 So, is he?

00:44:39.900 Is he?

00:44:41.040 And if the Republicans could find that number and find out it isn't happening quickly, that would be a good avenue of attack.

00:44:49.140 I'd love to see the Republicans and Democrats compete.

00:44:53.240 Compete on the question of, you know, who could do a better job of repatriating manufacturing.

00:44:59.920 Or at least moving it to another shore.

00:45:04.680 We're taking Germany's business.

00:45:07.200 I don't know.

00:45:10.740 And I'd love also to see more reporting on local manufacturing methods, especially 3D printing.

00:45:20.600 Because in theory, we should be getting to the point where the only thing you have to move is the printing materials.

00:45:26.920 You know, the raw material that gets printed into something.

00:45:31.060 Eventually, that's the only thing you should have to move.

00:45:33.380 Everything else just gets made on site.

00:45:35.060 So, are we anywhere near that happening?

00:45:40.200 Yeah.

00:45:40.620 What about chips?

00:45:42.280 Does it make sense to you that we move our chip manufacturing to Taiwan?

00:45:46.860 I mean, I realize we don't have a lot of options, but wouldn't that be the worst place to move them?

00:45:54.100 Like if you said, all right, entire world, entire world, where would, if we need to, you know, have less reliance on China for those chips, and we want to take the chips out of China, where would be the worst place in the world to put them?

00:46:15.100 Well, how about in the worst place in China?

00:46:16.100 Well, how about in the place that China plans to conquer in a year or two? 0.81

00:46:20.540 How about that?

00:46:22.420 How about that?

00:46:23.560 I don't even understand that.

00:46:25.680 I mean, it has to do with, probably has to do with the fact that Taiwan was the only one who could do something quickly.

00:46:30.160 Right.

00:46:31.000 See, Mike Rowe's series on how America works.

00:46:38.880 Sounds interesting.

00:46:41.360 Sounds interesting.

00:46:43.400 All right.

00:46:47.740 Stop calling for Mosa Taiwan. 0.99

00:46:52.140 Are you a Chinese agent?

00:46:54.700 Oh, do you know my favorite nemesis, Chen?

00:46:58.580 Chen, so Chen, I forget his last name, tweets on, he's on Twitter, and he's always listed by Twitter as associated, like a government-associated news media or something.

00:47:15.660 And so that, so every time he tweets, everybody gets his tweet, sees that he's, according to Twitter, maybe associated with the Chinese government and therefore not just an individual tweeting.

00:47:27.140 But he is so damn good.

00:47:30.140 Like, he is so good at tweeting in an American, in a way that works in America.

00:47:37.820 Like, I got to give it to him.

00:47:39.400 He's just the best at this.

00:47:41.100 And even when I see him working against the interests of my country, he does it so well that I'm like, oh, damn it, that was a good one.

00:47:48.920 That was a good one, Chen.

00:47:49.980 And mostly what he does is he adds context, and the context is often true.

00:47:56.600 So when America is criticizing, you know, China for something, he'll just drop in some context about America to show that we're now so clean.

00:48:06.080 And usually I read it and I go, eh, yeah, well, that's a good point.

00:48:10.140 Good point, Chen.

00:48:11.360 So he's my favorite nemesis.

00:48:13.360 Yeah, he's pretty smart.

00:48:22.680 Oh, so he says, reframe the Trump meeting.

00:48:25.440 Trump took a meeting with a black man, a gay, a Hispanic, and a woman.

00:48:29.480 It was a diversity meeting.

00:48:31.640 You know, Trump could completely explain it away.

00:48:36.580 Do you know how Trump could completely explain it away?

00:48:38.600 I was actually going to say that, but you beat me to it, so I'll give you credit for the idea.

00:48:45.080 Like I said, the thing I liked about Trump is he ran a pirate ship.

00:48:50.940 Everybody was allowed to come in.

00:48:53.140 And it's a weirdly unsettling feeling to watch your president be open to all the citizens.

00:49:01.780 Think about it.

00:49:03.080 You've never seen it before.

00:49:04.260 He's the only president who will take a meeting with Kim Jong-un to Alice, the woman who got into jail early.

00:49:13.080 I forget her name.

00:49:13.440 Alice Johnson.

00:49:15.340 So Trump enthusiastically embraces 100% of all Americans.

00:49:23.540 He can actually spin that as, you should be more like me.

00:49:28.760 Or how about, why don't you spend some time talking to people you don't agree with?

00:49:33.000 It'd be good for you.

00:49:34.260 Imagine him saying that.

00:49:37.080 You make the whole thing go away.

00:49:38.760 Say, you know what?

00:49:39.980 I feel like America would be better if we all spent a little bit more time with people we don't agree with.

00:49:45.320 How about you do a little bit more of it instead of asking me to do a little less of it?

00:49:49.340 Because I'll tell you, if I'm a president of the United States, or even a candidate,

00:49:53.480 and somebody comes to me and says, I've got something to say, I'm going to listen.

00:50:00.080 I'm going to listen.

00:50:00.900 I'm not going to say, I reject you for things you did in the past.

00:50:04.060 I won't listen to your concerns.

00:50:05.820 Because then I'm calling favorites.

00:50:07.740 And America is my favorite.

00:50:09.220 So, yes, you can have your opinions about anybody who visits me.

00:50:14.680 But, you know, if AOC wants a meeting, I'll take it.

00:50:18.060 If, you know, if Ilhan Omar wants, well, that's a bad example.

00:50:22.120 You know, that's a bad example.

00:50:23.780 But he could just say, I meet with Nancy Pelosi.

00:50:28.140 What do you think of her?

00:50:29.620 I met with Chuck Schumer.

00:50:32.720 I would meet with Adam Schiff.

00:50:35.580 Yeah.

00:50:36.120 If Eric Swalwell wants a meeting, I will meet with him.

00:50:42.200 And you just equate the top Democrat leaders with Ye's party of people. 0.96

00:50:49.180 And just say, yeah, if you would simply remove everybody from your understanding of the world,

00:50:59.360 you're not going to have a good understanding of the world.

00:51:03.060 I would also say, here's one I plan to use.

00:51:08.520 Sooner or later, I'm going to be in this situation where I get photographed with,

00:51:14.080 or, like, there's some horrible person I get photographed with.

00:51:21.480 And somebody's going to say, oh, that person's, you know, you're endorsing them,

00:51:26.540 or that influence, or, you know, somehow their badness is wiping off on you.

00:51:31.380 Here's my response.

00:51:34.000 If you put me in a room with anybody else,

00:51:38.220 do you think I'm going to become more like them,

00:51:40.200 or they will become more like me?

00:51:44.080 It's pretty good, isn't it?

00:51:48.060 And I'm not even going to answer the question.

00:51:50.800 I go, I'm an expert on persuasion.

00:51:53.960 You put me in a room with somebody I disagree with,

00:51:56.480 what's the most likely outcome?

00:51:58.880 They will change.

00:52:00.800 Right.

00:52:01.240 So the person you say you don't like that met with me,

00:52:04.220 just hypothetically,

00:52:05.600 I'll say, would you like them to be different?

00:52:07.260 Would you like them to be maybe a little more open-minded?

00:52:11.800 Because they probably were when they left.

00:52:14.600 So you probably want all the people you don't like to meet with me personally.

00:52:19.620 Because I'll fix them.

00:52:21.160 I'll make them better.

00:52:23.960 Now, the thing is that, what would you do with that?

00:52:28.860 Like, that answer just shuts down the whole thing, doesn't it?

00:52:31.220 You could high ground this situation and say,

00:52:34.440 you all should spend more time with people you disagree with.

00:52:37.940 And don't tell me that one person who visited me is my opinion now.

00:52:42.280 I met with a thousand people this year.

00:52:44.740 Do you think they all agreed with each other?

00:52:46.880 No.

00:52:47.220 Which one is my opinion?

00:52:48.240 Because I met with them.

00:52:49.420 No.

00:52:49.800 I'm listening to everybody.

00:52:51.420 That's my job.

00:52:52.560 I listen to everybody.

00:52:53.340 So, yeah, expect more of it, not less.

00:52:57.300 You're going to see some frightening, frightening meetings.

00:53:00.960 I'll be meeting with leftists you don't like.

00:53:03.180 Just anybody.

00:53:04.760 So they've got something to say.

00:53:05.880 All right, what's that?

00:53:10.140 Trade with China.

00:53:11.000 Oh, there we go.

00:53:12.320 Trade with China by year.

00:53:15.020 It looks like our exports are growing.

00:53:17.480 Our imports fell from 2015 to 2020.

00:53:21.360 But now it looks like they're climbing up again.

00:53:23.640 But I don't know.

00:53:24.480 I don't know.

00:53:25.120 Is the big number the number we want to look at?

00:53:27.060 Or should we be looking at the important industries?

00:53:32.000 I think it's a...

00:53:32.880 You know, there are a whole bunch more trolls in the last few days.

00:53:38.180 Has anybody noticed that?

00:53:39.800 It seemed like there were fewer trolls.

00:53:42.040 But in the last few days, like a couple of tweets,

00:53:44.860 there's just a clear troll activity.

00:53:47.960 The troll activities are the ones who don't do anything

00:53:50.640 except insult you personally.

00:53:53.220 Have you seen that?

00:53:54.640 Because for a while, it seemed like they were gone.

00:53:57.040 And then I had like three of them in one tweet

00:53:59.360 that just came in to insult me personally.

00:54:02.880 And I don't know.

00:54:05.560 Like, what drives that behavior?

00:54:07.940 Is that organized?

00:54:09.700 It always seemed organized.

00:54:15.800 So he says, maybe our plan is to use everybody else's oil

00:54:19.140 until we're the only ones with oil.

00:54:21.240 You know, I've thought about that.

00:54:23.140 That's not crazy.

00:54:24.740 The only reason that I don't think we're doing that

00:54:28.940 is that we're not really that farsighted.

00:54:30.980 Oh, holidays, less tech staff to police the trolls.

00:54:38.480 That's a good theory.

00:54:43.860 Yeah, it's difficult to say anything is a trend

00:54:45.940 because of the pandemic.

00:54:46.980 You're right.

00:54:47.220 It's kids on, oh, that could be, that could be.

00:54:57.900 Yeah, it could be younger people

00:54:59.160 who would normally be in school

00:55:01.680 and so they're just trolling.

00:55:04.260 That could be.

00:55:05.860 But the comments don't look like young people.

00:55:08.160 They look like somebody who knows me well enough

00:55:09.780 to, you know, try to get at me.

00:55:13.220 Maybe.

00:55:15.240 All right, I asked around, I'd heard on Twitter,

00:55:19.720 and I wanted to get a confirmation,

00:55:21.380 that there's a heroin shortage

00:55:23.380 and that the heroin users are basically all using fentanyl.

00:55:29.040 So I did a little bit of research

00:55:30.700 and I found out that at least locally

00:55:32.820 the heroin users have simply formed a preference for fentanyl.

00:55:39.360 So at least locally,

00:55:40.780 the reason that there's less heroin being used

00:55:43.940 is that fentanyl is completely available,

00:55:47.760 easy to get,

00:55:48.460 and it gives you a,

00:55:53.760 here's the phrase,

00:55:54.900 a stronger nod.

00:55:57.780 So I don't know too much about doing heroin or fentanyl,

00:56:01.500 but apparently you want to sit there in a stupor.

00:56:05.200 That's sort of the deal.

00:56:06.860 You just sort of sit there in a stupor that you like,

00:56:09.260 but you get a better stupor from the fentanyl.

00:56:12.720 The risk is that it kills you.

00:56:15.360 So there's far less margin with the fentanyl

00:56:18.040 than with the heroin.

00:56:19.080 Both can kill you,

00:56:20.680 but the fentanyl is more of a hair trigger.

00:56:23.320 But it's a better high.

00:56:25.260 So we've reached the point

00:56:26.520 where there's nothing to compete with it now.

00:56:30.100 You could say,

00:56:31.000 we'll give you free heroin,

00:56:32.420 and the addicts would still say,

00:56:34.040 ah, thank you for that free heroin.

00:56:36.560 I'd rather steal something and get the good stuff.

00:56:39.920 So we may already be past the point

00:56:42.480 where we can deal with it with alternatives.

00:56:45.100 We may have already passed that point.

00:56:46.960 Because once the addicts know the fentanyl is the better high,

00:56:50.480 there's nothing you can do to stop it.

00:56:52.660 They're not going to take the lesser high.

00:56:55.000 That's not a thing.

00:56:58.540 So that's like a big,

00:57:00.340 that's a big F you to me.

00:57:02.940 Because I thought maybe there was some angle in

00:57:05.660 where we could wean people into still deadly,

00:57:09.180 but less deadly stuff.

00:57:10.360 But that doesn't look like a path at the moment.

00:57:15.360 All right.

00:57:16.200 Calling the herd, yeah.

00:57:18.620 Yep.

00:57:19.340 I do think we have to take the assumption

00:57:22.560 that the government is not too serious about fentanyl.

00:57:25.880 And the reason is that they're not the citizens

00:57:27.900 they're trying to protect.

00:57:29.520 I don't think the government wants to protect

00:57:31.320 that class of citizens.

00:57:32.440 And let me say it more directly.

00:57:34.940 If the only people who were dying of fentanyl

00:57:36.820 were young women,

00:57:39.380 we would have already bombed Mexico. 0.96

00:57:43.140 There are plenty of young women dying from fentanyl,

00:57:45.620 but we don't characterize it that way.

00:57:48.100 It's probably still mostly men, isn't it?

00:57:51.820 Can somebody do a quick check?

00:57:53.980 I would bet that the overdose drug rate is 70% male.

00:58:00.400 What do you say?

00:58:01.320 70% male?

00:58:04.020 ODs?

00:58:04.800 Does anybody have a sense for that?

00:58:07.260 So that's just off the top of my head

00:58:08.780 what I imagine it would be.

00:58:11.540 Somebody do a quick check on that. 0.75

00:58:13.040 I'll bet it's 70% to 80% male.

00:58:15.560 So, and at least I conceive of it

00:58:20.180 as more of a male problem.

00:58:22.320 And I think anything that kills mostly young males

00:58:25.220 is not considered that big of a problem.

00:58:30.440 It's just not that big of a problem in America.

00:58:32.860 Because we have plenty of excess young men 0.92

00:58:36.340 who are not going to invent a microchip.

00:58:40.340 I hate to say it.

00:58:41.100 But if you were losing your reproductive group,

00:58:45.440 the women exclusively, 0.55

00:58:46.840 we would have already conquered Mexico.

00:58:49.340 We wouldn't stand for that.

00:58:54.000 Yeah.

00:58:55.360 Now, imagine if Kanye

00:58:57.860 does go ahead and run for president,

00:59:00.880 and imagine he says he'll bomb the cartels.

00:59:04.540 What the hell am I going to do?

00:59:06.960 Vote for him?

00:59:07.800 I'm not going to bother supporting somebody

00:59:11.160 I don't think can win.

00:59:12.720 But I'm going to have a dilemma

00:59:14.040 if he says he's going to bomb the cartels.

00:59:16.340 Do you know what else I would have a dilemma with?

00:59:19.060 If he said he was going to meet

00:59:20.400 with the cartel heads personally.

00:59:24.340 Because Kanye has something that Trump has.

00:59:27.640 And he's the only one.

00:59:29.500 Kanye could actually have a meeting

00:59:32.000 with the heads of the cartels.

00:59:34.340 Am I wrong?

00:59:38.460 He could actually ask for a meeting

00:59:40.800 and actually have a sit-down

00:59:42.860 with the heads of the cartels.

00:59:44.980 I don't think anybody else could.

00:59:48.080 I mean, Trump's the closest you can get.

00:59:50.140 I don't think he could.

00:59:51.880 And here's how you would...

00:59:52.980 The only way I think you could get

00:59:54.620 the cartels out of the business

00:59:56.020 is you would have to offer them

00:59:58.260 a cartel retirement plan.

01:00:01.620 Because the problem with being a cartel leader

01:00:03.460 is what?

01:00:04.980 There's no retirement.

01:00:06.760 The moment you say,

01:00:07.860 I'll be less of a brutal killer,

01:00:11.020 some brutal killer kills you.

01:00:13.140 And then they take over your operation.

01:00:14.880 So they can't really get out of the business.

01:00:17.980 So I fantasize,

01:00:19.840 and this is pure fantasy

01:00:20.880 because I can't imagine

01:00:22.580 we can figure out a way to really do it.

01:00:24.200 I fantasize of an exit plan

01:00:26.880 where you say to the cartel leaders,

01:00:29.280 look, you've built this vast organization,

01:00:32.700 but we're going to bomb it into dust.

01:00:36.200 Option two is we actually help you

01:00:39.280 get into a real business.

01:00:42.400 And then the cartel says, what?

01:00:44.400 Yeah, like a real business.

01:00:45.760 Let's say, for example,

01:00:46.900 we help Mexico legalize gambling

01:00:50.980 in one county.

01:00:52.600 And then you can own the casinos.

01:00:54.540 But you have to get out of the other stuff.

01:00:57.040 You can't do the other stuff,

01:00:58.780 but we'll put you in business

01:01:00.040 in a way that you'll be fine.

01:01:02.140 Your family will be fine.

01:01:03.920 And you can essentially

01:01:06.140 launder your criminal past

01:01:09.400 into some kind of a future.

01:01:12.960 Now, I suppose there'd be too many people

01:01:14.460 who would just want to kill them

01:01:15.400 if they lost their iron grip on control.

01:01:17.980 So maybe it can't work.

01:01:19.880 But I feel like you'd have to

01:01:21.780 at least try negotiating with them first.

01:01:24.220 Because if you say you've got two choices,

01:01:27.100 work with us to get into

01:01:28.360 some kind of a legal business

01:01:29.680 and help Mexico become great.

01:01:32.920 Let me give you some context.

01:01:35.920 America was greatly benefited

01:01:39.960 by the transcontinental railroad.

01:01:42.900 So you all learned the story in America

01:01:45.060 that the railroad from coast to coast

01:01:47.500 under Lincoln, right?

01:01:48.960 It was Lincoln who authorized it.

01:01:51.680 And do you know what a bunch of crooks

01:01:54.960 the people doing the railroads were?

01:01:57.840 So the people, you know,

01:01:59.060 the, what do you call them,

01:02:01.220 the richest people,

01:02:03.000 the, there's a name for them,

01:02:05.700 the capitalists who built them.

01:02:07.340 But basically, they were all super crooks.

01:02:11.020 Robber barons.

01:02:11.660 Yeah, the railroad robber barons

01:02:14.240 were absolute criminals.

01:02:16.840 They were just flat-out criminals.

01:02:19.240 But they were rich,

01:02:20.800 and they had lots of political influence.

01:02:23.100 But eventually, those, I think,

01:02:26.760 I'm going to say this without knowing for sure,

01:02:29.060 I believe that the families

01:02:31.280 of all those robber barons

01:02:32.780 are now in completely legal businesses.

01:02:35.620 I used to work for a bank called Crocker Bank.

01:02:39.940 Crocker was the name of one of those robber barons.

01:02:43.060 He just created a bank that was completely legit,

01:02:46.340 you know, was worth a gazillion dollars.

01:02:49.000 Wells Fargo bought it.

01:02:50.860 Completely legitimate business for many decades.

01:02:54.620 So it's not impossible

01:02:56.540 to put robber barons into legitimate businesses.

01:03:01.960 It's not impossible, because we did it.

01:03:04.080 The United States did it.

01:03:05.760 So it's not crazy.

01:03:08.320 You just have to compare it to all the other Kennedys.

01:03:10.680 Okay, perfect.

01:03:11.900 The Kennedy family,

01:03:13.120 the Kennedy fortune was made illegally

01:03:16.020 with bootlegging, right?

01:03:19.280 Now, that's confirmed, right?

01:03:20.760 That's not, I'm not saying something

01:03:22.840 that historians don't agree with, am I?

01:03:25.400 It's confirmed.

01:03:26.700 Yeah, Kennedy's father was a bootlegger.

01:03:29.260 That's how he made his money.

01:03:30.100 But, are any of the Kennedys,

01:03:33.320 is anybody in the Kennedy family

01:03:34.740 running an illegal business today?

01:03:37.160 I don't think so.

01:03:38.960 Not that I'm aware of.

01:03:40.940 Right?

01:03:41.080 So, there are plenty of examples

01:03:43.560 of criminals who went straight.

01:03:47.200 And I believe

01:03:48.540 that if I were the head of a cartel,

01:03:51.120 I'd be saying to myself,

01:03:52.500 you're such an asshole.

01:03:57.880 The trolls here today.

01:03:59.100 You'd legitimize a criminal

01:04:05.020 and they'd just switch bosses.

01:04:07.260 So, here's the second thing

01:04:09.700 you'd have to do.

01:04:10.780 You'd have to work with the cartels

01:04:12.320 to kill their competition.

01:04:15.080 Maybe you pick the strongest cartel

01:04:17.220 and you say,

01:04:18.440 we're going to work with you

01:04:19.320 to destroy your competition

01:04:20.640 and then we're going to turn you

01:04:23.320 into a legitimate business.

01:04:25.300 But first, you have to kill

01:04:26.340 all your competition for us.

01:04:27.700 And we'll tell you where they are.

01:04:30.780 Maybe we'll give you some logistics

01:04:32.260 and some satellite stuff

01:04:33.820 so you know where they are.

01:04:34.820 But just go kill them first

01:04:36.100 so that this all works.

01:04:40.000 Now, I don't think any of those plans

01:04:42.120 are necessarily practical.

01:04:45.600 But I will only sell you on one thought.

01:04:49.000 Ye is the only candidate 0.98

01:04:50.680 who could even try it.

01:04:54.260 He's the only one who could try it.

01:04:55.620 Nobody else could even try it.

01:04:57.700 And I don't know that there's

01:04:58.740 a better way to do it.

01:05:00.300 Nobody has mentioned one.

01:05:04.320 All right, ladies and gentlemen,

01:05:05.560 that's all I have for today.

01:05:10.720 And I've got to tell you,

01:05:13.700 I'm in the itchy season.

01:05:16.720 So, there's like an itch, right?

01:05:18.340 Oh, God.

01:05:19.760 Oh, my God.

01:05:20.500 It's exactly where I can't reach it.

01:05:22.220 Oh, do you know how much better it is

01:05:24.040 when it's in that place you can't reach?

01:05:25.580 Oh.

01:05:27.320 Like, if you had an itch on your arm

01:05:29.740 where you could reach it easily,

01:05:32.440 it would itch.

01:05:33.620 But it wouldn't itch that much, right?

01:05:36.920 But if there's one right in the middle of your back,

01:05:38.960 the only place you can't reach with your hand

01:05:40.740 if you're a guy,

01:05:41.900 you know, women can reach everything, I guess. 1.00

01:05:44.140 But I can't reach the middle of my back.

01:05:46.260 Man, when that thing itches,

01:05:48.400 oh! 0.60

01:05:50.400 I'm like that screen portrait.

01:05:51.760 So, I can never be too far away

01:05:56.980 from my back scratcher.

01:05:59.300 It's got to get to it.

01:06:06.420 There's a fake Rob Ryder over there

01:06:08.280 saying he uses an elephant hose

01:06:09.740 to scratch his back.

01:06:13.160 That was random.

01:06:16.760 All right.

01:06:17.340 Is there any topic I missed?

01:06:22.720 I don't think there's anything else

01:06:23.680 happening today.

01:06:25.960 So, with that,

01:06:28.200 I believe it's time to go

01:06:29.620 enjoy your Black Friday.

01:06:32.260 And I remind you again,

01:06:33.300 you don't have to be black 0.99

01:06:34.520 to enjoy Black Friday.

01:06:36.540 It's for everybody.

01:06:38.460 It's for everybody.

01:06:40.280 And

01:06:40.720 I've got a feeling

01:06:43.960 that 2023

01:06:45.820 it's going to be

01:06:47.840 a cool year.

01:06:49.740 Like, I actually think

01:06:50.560 it's going to be a good year.

01:06:51.440 What do you think?

01:06:52.720 How are you feeling?

01:06:54.220 Optimistic or pessimistic?

01:06:56.580 Give me your

01:06:57.220 just feeling about 2023.

01:07:01.120 I'm seeing

01:07:02.120 both.

01:07:04.480 I'm seeing a mix.

01:07:09.500 Jim Keller

01:07:10.220 mentioned me.

01:07:11.580 Who is Jim Keller?

01:07:13.560 Jordan Peterson

01:07:14.340 interviewed Jim Keller.

01:07:18.620 Who is Jim Keller?

01:07:25.080 You've got the house.

01:07:27.620 All right,

01:07:27.960 Hulk Green.

01:07:28.740 Somebody got a house.

01:07:30.800 So, a lot of pessimism here.

01:07:32.020 All right.

01:07:36.280 Well,

01:07:36.900 here's what I'll do.

01:07:39.040 I'm going to

01:07:39.760 move this battleship

01:07:41.100 for you.

01:07:41.460 I will turn you

01:07:43.380 optimistic

01:07:43.960 by

01:07:46.300 the middle

01:07:48.140 of January.

01:07:50.280 All right?

01:07:50.460 That's my goal.

01:07:51.620 By the middle

01:07:52.220 of January,

01:07:53.580 I'm going to turn

01:07:54.220 some of you

01:07:55.080 pessimists

01:07:55.760 into optimists.

01:07:57.880 That's what I will do.

01:08:01.740 By the way,

01:08:04.280 somebody said

01:08:05.020 quit drinking.

01:08:07.080 And congratulations.

01:08:07.980 Every time I see

01:08:09.240 somebody who quit

01:08:10.220 drinking,

01:08:11.420 I stop everything.

01:08:13.560 And I say,

01:08:14.340 to you,

01:08:15.420 to you who just

01:08:16.280 said you quit

01:08:17.420 drinking,

01:08:17.840 thank you for

01:08:18.340 telling us.

01:08:19.680 I'm really happy

01:08:20.600 that you said

01:08:21.060 that publicly.

01:08:22.220 Seriously,

01:08:22.820 I'm very happy

01:08:23.320 you did.

01:08:23.800 Every single

01:08:24.500 person who says

01:08:25.280 that publicly

01:08:26.040 is adding

01:08:27.700 something to the

01:08:28.640 country.

01:08:29.880 Now,

01:08:30.100 correct me if I'm

01:08:30.760 wrong,

01:08:32.340 is there's some

01:08:34.520 pretty prominent

01:08:35.200 anti-alcohol people

01:08:36.860 now,

01:08:37.160 aren't there?

01:08:38.360 Cernovich,

01:08:38.960 I think,

01:08:39.220 is anti-alcohol.

01:08:41.220 I am.

01:08:43.140 There are some

01:08:43.900 other big names.

01:08:44.900 Well,

01:08:45.100 Trump.

01:08:46.100 Trump is

01:08:46.680 anti-alcohol.

01:08:49.020 Jack Posavik.

01:08:55.120 Is Jordan

01:08:55.980 Peterson

01:08:56.420 Peterson?

01:08:58.020 Yeah,

01:08:58.220 I think I saw

01:08:58.760 something about

01:08:59.440 that.

01:09:01.080 Berenson.

01:09:02.620 Is Berenson

01:09:03.480 anti-alcohol,

01:09:04.280 too?

01:09:04.540 I know he's

01:09:04.980 anti-weed.

01:09:05.520 Joe Rogan,

01:09:07.460 but Rogan

01:09:08.180 drinks sometimes

01:09:09.160 though,

01:09:09.480 right?

01:09:10.860 Is Joe Rogan

01:09:11.740 anti-alcohol now

01:09:12.760 or is that a

01:09:14.500 reason change?

01:09:16.000 Because I know

01:09:16.760 he,

01:09:17.420 not too long

01:09:18.540 ago,

01:09:18.760 he's enjoyed

01:09:19.380 social drinking.

01:09:21.920 Huberman?

01:09:22.860 Andrew Huberman

01:09:23.580 is anti-alcohol?

01:09:25.980 Oh,

01:09:26.160 he drinks whiskey

01:09:26.800 only?

01:09:29.400 Yeah.

01:09:30.240 And I know

01:09:30.640 we're out of

01:09:31.140 sober October,

01:09:32.460 but

01:09:34.540 interesting.

01:09:41.900 Oh,

01:09:42.540 Andrew,

01:09:43.140 Andrew Tate

01:09:44.680 is not

01:09:45.320 opposed to

01:09:46.200 alcohol,

01:09:46.660 is he?

01:09:47.280 I think he,

01:09:49.380 you know,

01:09:49.880 Tate is,

01:09:51.000 yeah,

01:09:52.260 I,

01:09:52.480 I,

01:09:53.080 I don't want

01:09:54.140 to mention him

01:09:54.760 every day,

01:09:55.260 but it's hard,

01:09:56.980 it's hard to

01:09:57.600 ignore what a,

01:09:59.340 what a skillful

01:10:00.720 job he's doing

01:10:01.580 of controlling

01:10:02.460 the media

01:10:03.940 narrative.

01:10:05.100 Like,

01:10:05.420 it's,

01:10:06.000 I just got to

01:10:06.580 give it to him.

01:10:07.600 You know,

01:10:07.860 I dislike him

01:10:08.620 for personal

01:10:09.260 reasons,

01:10:09.760 that's just,

01:10:10.340 you know,

01:10:10.580 between me

01:10:11.180 and him,

01:10:11.660 but he's

01:10:12.900 very abusing.

01:10:13.980 And one of

01:10:14.440 the things

01:10:14.740 he's pulled

01:10:15.180 off is that

01:10:16.980 apparently he's

01:10:17.640 sold the idea

01:10:18.280 that he can be

01:10:18.940 a whiskey

01:10:20.540 drinking,

01:10:21.760 or whatever

01:10:22.560 he drinks,

01:10:23.580 cigar smoking

01:10:24.980 fitness

01:10:27.200 advisor.

01:10:28.180 And he

01:10:31.520 literally sits

01:10:32.140 there surrounded

01:10:32.680 by empty

01:10:33.680 booze,

01:10:34.200 glasses,

01:10:34.960 and,

01:10:34.980 you know,

01:10:35.900 big cigars,

01:10:36.980 and he tells

01:10:37.880 you how to

01:10:38.220 take care of

01:10:38.660 your health,

01:10:39.760 and American

01:10:41.560 men are saying,

01:10:42.380 yep,

01:10:43.240 okay,

01:10:44.540 that looks like

01:10:45.320 a good role

01:10:45.840 model right

01:10:46.280 there.

01:10:48.280 But hey,

01:10:49.900 he,

01:10:50.500 you know,

01:10:50.800 his social

01:10:51.920 media following

01:10:52.900 is through

01:10:53.600 the roof.

01:10:54.860 Yeah,

01:10:55.180 like how in

01:10:56.320 the world he's

01:10:56.820 pulling this

01:10:57.340 off?

01:10:58.180 I gotta give

01:10:59.280 it to him.

01:11:00.160 He is the

01:11:00.840 energy monster

01:11:01.620 of all energy

01:11:02.820 monsters.

01:11:03.740 He's just

01:11:04.160 turning the

01:11:04.580 energy into

01:11:05.240 clicks.

01:11:07.000 So good for

01:11:07.560 him.

01:11:08.820 But just know

01:11:09.420 what you're

01:11:09.720 getting,

01:11:10.060 right?

01:11:11.420 If you're

01:11:12.620 deciding to

01:11:13.960 follow his

01:11:16.100 advice,

01:11:17.840 just know

01:11:18.440 what you're

01:11:18.720 getting.

01:11:20.160 And by the

01:11:20.600 way,

01:11:20.780 a lot of

01:11:21.040 his advice

01:11:21.440 is good.

01:11:23.380 That's the

01:11:23.980 weirdest thing.

01:11:25.440 A lot of

01:11:26.020 Andrew Tate's

01:11:27.480 advice is

01:11:28.100 actually good

01:11:28.600 advice.

01:11:29.880 But it's

01:11:30.380 also stuff

01:11:31.940 you've seen

01:11:32.360 before,

01:11:32.860 right?

01:11:33.360 I don't

01:11:33.880 think,

01:11:34.780 is there

01:11:35.140 anything he

01:11:35.720 says that's

01:11:36.220 original?

01:11:38.580 Can anybody

01:11:39.260 give me an

01:11:39.660 example?

01:11:40.480 Has Andrew Tate

01:11:41.360 ever come up

01:11:42.000 with like an

01:11:42.840 original piece

01:11:43.700 of advice that

01:11:44.420 nobody's heard

01:11:44.960 before?

01:11:45.640 I do like his

01:11:46.520 advice,

01:11:47.200 nobody can

01:11:47.740 follow it,

01:11:48.400 but his

01:11:49.200 advice about

01:11:49.680 having multiple

01:11:50.300 passports to

01:11:51.420 try to become

01:11:52.080 uncancellable.

01:11:53.500 That kind of

01:11:54.160 just works

01:11:54.580 for people

01:11:54.980 like him.

01:11:56.080 It's not

01:11:56.500 really good

01:11:56.880 general advice.

01:11:59.680 But anything

01:12:00.760 that's like a

01:12:01.560 new twist on

01:12:03.340 anything?

01:12:05.960 I feel like

01:12:06.900 he's just a

01:12:08.040 best of kind

01:12:08.800 of guy.

01:12:09.920 I think he's

01:12:10.380 taking the

01:12:10.800 best of pieces

01:12:11.840 from other

01:12:13.080 influential people

01:12:13.940 and he just

01:12:15.000 put it together,

01:12:15.620 but he did it

01:12:16.060 well.

01:12:17.840 Packaging other

01:12:18.580 people's ideas

01:12:19.320 is not nothing.

01:12:20.560 It can be

01:12:20.960 actually the

01:12:21.460 most important

01:12:21.960 part.

01:12:24.160 Yeah, he

01:12:25.400 plays the

01:12:25.780 hits.

01:12:26.680 Yeah, all

01:12:27.280 right.

01:12:27.900 Well, good

01:12:28.280 for him.

01:12:29.220 I wish him a

01:12:29.920 good year.

01:12:31.400 And I'm

01:12:32.000 going to say

01:12:32.260 goodbye to

01:12:32.980 YouTube.

01:12:33.680 I'll stick

01:12:34.040 around and

01:12:34.740 talk to the

01:12:36.020 locals platform.

01:12:37.060 We'll make

01:12:37.640 that private

01:12:38.120 after I say

01:12:38.960 goodbye.
