Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of civilization. It's called
00:00:05.240 Coffee with Scott Adams. There's never been a finer moment in your life and
00:00:10.160 it's probably just gonna get better. And if you'd like to take it up to levels
00:00:16.180 that the simulation can only imagine, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a
00:00:21.780 tank or chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it
00:00:26.460 with your favorite liquid I like, coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled
00:00:31.620 pleasure, the dopamine to the day the thing makes everything better. It's called
00:00:37.640 the simultaneous sip and it happens now. Go.
00:00:47.760 Well, big news out of California. There's some proposed legislation to legalize
00:00:56.460 psychedelics. Not all of them, but they're looking to legalize psilocybin, psilocin, so
00:01:07.700 mushrooms basically, DMT, mescaline, including peyote, and one I never heard of, ibogaine,
00:01:15.060 ibogaine. Has anybody ever heard of that one? How could there be an awesome drug I
00:01:20.600 haven't heard of? Ibogaine? Anyway, the politician who's proposing this is a Democrat named Scott
00:01:32.420 Weiner. Scott Weiner. Now, just clarification, Scott Weiner is an entirely, it's a complete
00:01:42.040 other person. Some people think it's referring to one of my body parts, but no. He's actually a
00:01:49.500 separate, like a complete human with all of his parts. His name is Scott Weiner. I know, it's
00:01:56.760 confusing. It seems like it's about my Weiner, but it's not. That's actually his name. He's a real
00:02:02.980 person. Clarifying. So, I've been laughing about this for two days. Does anybody follow on Twitter
00:02:14.040 Jake Shields? Jake Shields, who's a former UFC MMA fighter, five-time world champion? Does anybody
00:02:24.020 follow him? All right. So, I don't know the whole backstory. All I saw was one few tweets and video,
00:02:35.820 but based on what I can understand, there's somebody named Mike Jackson, who must have been calling Jake
00:02:44.160 Shields a Nazi over social media. So, that's, I'm intuiting that's the concept here. Not intuiting,
00:02:54.280 but, and then the video shows Jake Shields on top of him in a gym, you know, totally subduing him
00:03:05.740 while people are trying to pull Jake off him. And then Jake just tweets this, finally ran into the
00:03:13.520 bitch Mike Jackson. And then he says, he quickly discovered the difference between calling people
00:03:20.320 Nazis in person versus on Twitter. He quickly discovered the difference.
00:03:30.420 Now, as I said when I retweeted it, I disavow all violence. I'm not in favor of violence,
00:03:38.220 but I can't help it when it's funny. I feel like that has to be called out. This is funny violence.
00:03:45.560 Some of the funniest violence you'll see today. So, totally against violence. Don't do any violence.
00:03:54.780 But if you do funny violence, I'm very likely to tweet it.
00:03:59.900 All right. I saw a tweet read by Cabot Phillips about male fertility, saying that in the last 50 years,
00:04:08.340 the average male sperm count has dropped 62%, and testosterone rates are down over 30%.
00:04:15.860 And then he says, we know what's causing the drop, but a few leaders seem interested in talking about it.
00:04:22.720 Do we? Do you think we know what's causing the drop in testosterone?
00:04:27.480 Well, when he says we, I suppose he means doctors or the medical community.
00:04:34.960 But I feel like they might have left down a few, I feel like it's a few notes short of a symphony.
00:04:41.940 So, let me tell you which things he mentions. I see your comments.
00:04:45.560 I'll tell you which things he mentions as clearly related, all right?
00:04:50.180 So, male obesity, would you agree? Male obesity lowers your testosterone.
00:04:56.740 You all knew that, right? And definitely, obesity's up. Okay.
00:05:01.340 So, we'll accept that. Let's see. There's also, what is it?
00:05:11.460 Oh, forever chemicals. I've been hearing this phrase, forever chemicals.
00:05:16.480 Some kinds of plastics and other chemicals, apparently just never disintegrate.
00:05:23.220 And it's getting into our bodies and probably having some suppressive effect on our fertility.
00:05:31.160 So, that's scary.
00:05:34.660 All right. So, we've got the men are getting fat, and there's more anxiety.
00:05:43.200 That sounds right, doesn't it? More anxiety.
00:05:46.480 So, men with anxiety might produce less sperm and have less testosterone.
00:05:52.000 So, those are three things.
00:05:53.260 So, forever chemicals, and maybe just chemicals in general.
00:05:57.600 Obesity of the men and anxiety are lowering their testosterone.
00:06:02.980 Can you think of anything else?
00:06:08.480 Is there anything left off the list?
00:06:10.200 For example, I saw somebody mention, Fauci.
00:06:17.720 Fauci. That was funny.
00:06:20.520 Fauci.
00:06:23.560 Let's blame that fucking guy for everything.
00:06:26.700 Inflation? Fauci.
00:06:28.140 All right.
00:06:30.120 Some of you are saying soy.
00:06:31.260 And I don't know if that's scientifically demonstrated.
00:06:36.380 So, I'm not going to say that science supports that.
00:06:39.540 I think the science says, not that it lowers your testosterone,
00:06:44.800 but doesn't it mimic some female hormones is the claim.
00:06:49.840 Right?
00:06:50.080 I want to make sure I don't get sued.
00:06:51.340 But the claim is that it mimics female hormones,
00:06:56.020 not that it detracts from your testosterone.
00:07:01.400 Or is that necessarily always the same?
00:07:04.360 I don't know the answer to that question.
00:07:06.000 But would you agree that it's notably missing,
00:07:13.160 even if only to mention that, you know,
00:07:15.620 you would expect it to be mentioned, right?
00:07:18.060 Even if the mention was,
00:07:19.700 some people think it's this,
00:07:21.160 but the science doesn't quite support it.
00:07:23.980 You'd think it'd be mentioned.
00:07:26.780 Vaping.
00:07:27.800 Vaping not mentioned,
00:07:28.940 but that would be another example of chemicals getting into you.
00:07:31.840 How about pharmaceuticals in general?
00:07:34.320 Well, I saw your comment earlier.
00:07:37.380 Yeah, pharmaceuticals in general.
00:07:39.920 Now, the vaccinations are largely,
00:07:43.340 are largely,
00:07:46.980 how do I say this best?
00:07:48.600 The vaccinations happened well after the trend.
00:07:52.220 So, the trend was really solidly in place
00:07:55.000 way before the vaccinations.
00:07:57.840 Now, if the vaccinations made it worse,
00:08:00.480 I don't think the data could tell you
00:08:03.660 one way or the other at this point.
00:08:05.380 But maybe.
00:08:06.600 I mean, who knows?
00:08:08.940 What else?
00:08:10.280 I want to see how far I can get
00:08:12.380 before the most obvious answer
00:08:14.840 appears to you.
00:08:17.760 There's a way more obvious answer.
00:08:20.420 And it's just hilarious
00:08:21.480 that nobody thinks of it.
00:08:23.020 Because there's like a magic trick going on.
00:08:24.820 The magic trick
00:08:26.160 is diverting you.
00:08:31.260 And I don't mean to be unkind
00:08:34.280 in the following thing.
00:08:35.620 I'm going to stick to what I think is just factual.
00:08:38.920 I'm not trying to make fun of anybody, right?
00:08:42.760 They mentioned obese men.
00:08:46.860 So men are getting fatter.
00:08:49.020 Do you think it makes any fucking difference
00:08:51.420 that the women are getting fatter too?
00:08:53.120 Because nobody doubts that, right?
00:08:56.200 It's not just men getting fatter.
00:08:59.600 The women are getting fatter too.
00:09:02.520 And let me ask you this.
00:09:03.920 I hate to be brutal.
00:09:05.380 Do you think men are going to have
00:09:06.600 as much of a testosterone,
00:09:08.880 let's say, response to
00:09:10.720 a lesser attractive woman?
00:09:16.220 Well, I don't know.
00:09:17.840 I'm no scientist.
00:09:18.780 But I'm guessing.
00:09:22.180 Did you know that
00:09:23.300 when a man gets married,
00:09:25.420 his testosterone drops?
00:09:27.640 How many of you knew that?
00:09:29.360 When you get married,
00:09:30.220 your testosterone just will blow.
00:09:32.560 Why?
00:09:33.760 It's because, presumably,
00:09:36.880 your attraction to the woman you married,
00:09:39.760 in just the normal reasons of life,
00:09:42.880 would decrease.
00:09:43.620 So you get married to the one person
00:09:47.460 who's going to become less attractive over time,
00:09:50.800 not for any fault of their own.
00:09:52.760 It could be just age and familiarity
00:09:55.500 and all that stuff.
00:09:57.160 So does anybody believe
00:10:00.280 that men's testosterone
00:10:02.140 is unrelated to female stimulation?
00:10:06.940 Am I too far into the non-scientific
00:10:10.900 or am I still scientifically valid?
00:10:13.620 That's well understood, right?
00:10:15.960 That if you put a man around attractive women,
00:10:18.880 attractive to him,
00:10:20.320 again, we won't make a judgment call.
00:10:22.860 So we're not doing any fat shaming.
00:10:25.280 Everybody clear on that?
00:10:26.760 This is not fat shaming.
00:10:28.780 This is just talking about science, right?
00:10:31.160 And weight is a big part.
00:10:33.060 So, why is that left out?
00:10:39.300 Like, how can you leave that out?
00:10:42.680 Now, let me tell you something I noticed.
00:10:46.200 Since I've recently transitioned,
00:10:48.600 no, not that way.
00:10:49.740 Not that way.
00:10:50.920 From being married to not married,
00:10:54.620 I can feel the testosterone difference.
00:10:59.120 I can feel it.
00:11:01.260 And I said the other day
00:11:02.420 that I haven't had a bad day in two months.
00:11:05.360 And now I know what it is.
00:11:07.200 My voice is deeper.
00:11:08.760 My muscle gain was instant.
00:11:13.320 My overall feeling of well-being.
00:11:18.000 Like yesterday,
00:11:18.680 I was just standing there,
00:11:21.660 feeling good.
00:11:23.380 I was literally just standing there
00:11:25.040 in my kitchen,
00:11:25.660 and I thought,
00:11:26.900 my God, I feel good.
00:11:29.760 Just all over.
00:11:31.180 And it took me a while
00:11:33.440 to figure out what it was.
00:11:34.360 Now, I'd been doing everything right
00:11:35.800 from, you know,
00:11:37.040 exercise to sleep
00:11:38.180 to, you know,
00:11:39.220 diet and everything.
00:11:40.100 So, I'd been getting everything right
00:11:41.500 health-wise.
00:11:42.880 But I could actually feel
00:11:44.560 the testosterone
00:11:46.860 being higher.
00:11:49.540 I mean,
00:11:49.780 I don't have any doubt
00:11:50.740 that it's higher.
00:11:51.520 It just feels higher.
00:11:52.900 Like, my whole
00:11:53.960 attitude of life,
00:11:56.160 the way I see everything.
00:11:57.100 And the other way
00:11:58.640 that you can feel it
00:11:59.520 is
00:11:59.820 I'm afraid
00:12:02.480 of almost nothing.
00:12:04.740 Is there any
00:12:05.460 men here
00:12:05.880 who can back me up
00:12:06.780 on this?
00:12:07.840 Do you ever
00:12:08.520 the feeling
00:12:09.280 that you can tell
00:12:10.100 your testosterone
00:12:10.860 is high?
00:12:12.240 That might be
00:12:12.960 just my impression.
00:12:14.400 Because I feel like
00:12:15.360 I can tell.
00:12:17.680 It's because
00:12:18.400 when you walk
00:12:19.040 into a room,
00:12:19.720 you either own it
00:12:20.680 or you're
00:12:22.220 part of it.
00:12:23.600 That's the difference.
00:12:25.360 When your testosterone
00:12:26.360 is high
00:12:27.000 and you walk
00:12:28.180 into a room,
00:12:29.740 you own the room.
00:12:31.720 You just own it.
00:12:33.120 You know it,
00:12:33.820 you act like it,
00:12:34.980 and everybody else
00:12:35.720 can tell too.
00:12:37.260 Now, that part's
00:12:38.380 in my head.
00:12:39.240 I feel like
00:12:40.080 other people can tell.
00:12:42.000 But when I walk
00:12:42.800 into a room
00:12:43.440 and my chemistry
00:12:44.800 is right,
00:12:45.700 I just own the room.
00:12:48.020 And the room
00:12:49.180 is helpless.
00:12:50.220 Like, that's the way
00:12:50.780 it feels, right?
00:12:51.700 That's just the impression.
00:12:52.620 And other men
00:12:55.300 say the same thing, right?
00:12:57.160 Yeah.
00:12:57.780 And the scariest part
00:12:59.280 is that you lose fear.
00:13:01.660 Because fear
00:13:02.500 is actually pretty useful.
00:13:04.400 Right?
00:13:04.640 Keeps you out of trouble.
00:13:06.080 And sometimes
00:13:07.480 when my testosterone
00:13:08.960 feels high,
00:13:10.580 I feel that I'm losing
00:13:12.020 too much fear.
00:13:13.580 And then I start
00:13:14.200 to be concerned,
00:13:15.400 but not afraid.
00:13:17.120 Concerned
00:13:17.600 that I'm not afraid enough.
00:13:19.420 That I'm,
00:13:20.040 you know,
00:13:20.500 I'm in dangerous territory.
00:13:22.480 It's a very male thing.
00:13:23.760 I don't think
00:13:24.100 a woman could
00:13:24.620 quite relate to it.
00:13:26.320 Who knows?
00:13:27.200 Some of it's in my head.
00:13:29.140 All right,
00:13:29.480 how about some other things?
00:13:30.480 How about just the way
00:13:31.980 men are treated
00:13:33.880 in society?
00:13:35.460 The value of a man,
00:13:37.180 at least in terms
00:13:38.000 of society's
00:13:39.000 average opinion,
00:13:39.880 is way down.
00:13:41.640 So,
00:13:42.360 men are losing,
00:13:44.160 like they're losing
00:13:45.020 at life.
00:13:46.180 When you're losing
00:13:47.060 at life,
00:13:47.680 when you're losing
00:13:50.540 at life,
00:13:51.560 your testosterone
00:13:52.240 goes lower.
00:13:53.260 And men are losing
00:13:54.100 at life,
00:13:54.700 because there are
00:13:55.100 too many of them,
00:13:55.980 and they're not
00:13:56.940 getting dates,
00:13:57.720 and they're not
00:13:58.300 succeeding in their
00:13:59.660 careers.
00:14:00.700 All right,
00:14:01.080 somebody brought up
00:14:01.780 earlier,
00:14:02.160 how about masturbation?
00:14:03.980 Without checking,
00:14:05.920 does it lower
00:14:06.700 a man's testosterone?
00:14:09.520 Masturbation,
00:14:10.020 yes or no?
00:14:11.680 Seems obvious,
00:14:12.540 right?
00:14:13.240 The most obvious
00:14:14.100 thing is that
00:14:14.820 masturbation would
00:14:15.540 lower your
00:14:15.900 testosterone,
00:14:17.140 except that you're
00:14:17.780 wrong.
00:14:19.660 Google it.
00:14:20.960 I wasn't sure,
00:14:21.860 I just Googled it
00:14:22.580 a minute ago.
00:14:24.460 According to
00:14:25.220 Google's top answer,
00:14:27.000 you know,
00:14:27.200 where they sort of
00:14:28.040 summarize the answers,
00:14:29.160 no difference.
00:14:30.940 No difference at all.
00:14:32.680 Like there's no
00:14:33.300 statistical difference.
00:14:34.940 Do you believe that?
00:14:36.820 You know,
00:14:37.300 you can definitely
00:14:37.880 feel that it lowers
00:14:39.640 your energy,
00:14:40.920 and maybe it feels
00:14:42.020 like it lowers it
00:14:43.180 at some point
00:14:45.480 in the process,
00:14:46.760 but I would say
00:14:47.880 I don't feel
00:14:48.840 that it lowers
00:14:49.660 it overall.
00:14:51.660 So I would say
00:14:52.460 that,
00:14:53.140 I would say
00:14:55.460 that sex,
00:14:57.180 or that
00:14:57.880 orgasms in general
00:15:00.200 don't lower
00:15:01.260 your testosterone,
00:15:02.560 except maybe
00:15:03.160 some short-term
00:15:03.940 thing.
00:15:05.660 It may be
00:15:06.080 temporary.
00:15:08.500 So anyway,
00:15:09.500 this is a
00:15:10.200 scientific bunk.
00:15:12.020 New York Times
00:15:13.040 magazine is
00:15:13.840 writing a story
00:15:14.360 about TikTok,
00:15:15.840 which suggests
00:15:16.760 that the
00:15:17.500 illegitimate press
00:15:20.520 has finally
00:15:21.560 figured out
00:15:22.060 that they better
00:15:22.560 get on the right
00:15:23.140 side of the
00:15:23.620 TikTok thing,
00:15:24.860 because there's
00:15:25.260 basically nobody
00:15:26.180 on the other
00:15:26.700 side,
00:15:27.900 literally nobody,
00:15:29.280 unless they're
00:15:29.980 actually just
00:15:30.560 bought off.
00:15:32.800 So here's
00:15:34.260 what they say.
00:15:34.920 47% of likely
00:15:36.160 U.S. voters
00:15:36.720 believe that,
00:15:38.320 oh wait,
00:15:41.060 has Biden
00:15:41.500 made the
00:15:42.900 country worse?
00:15:43.940 I got my
00:15:44.520 titles worse.
00:15:46.880 So this is
00:15:47.560 Rasmussen.
00:15:48.640 Rasmussen said
00:15:49.500 47% of the
00:15:50.480 voters think
00:15:51.020 Biden has made
00:15:52.220 things worse.
00:15:53.240 That's not what
00:15:53.820 I'm talking about.
00:15:54.340 I'm talking about
00:15:54.960 TikTok.
00:15:57.760 So here's how
00:16:00.080 the New York
00:16:00.640 Times magazine
00:16:01.900 talks about
00:16:03.820 TikTok.
00:16:04.400 damn it.
00:16:09.840 They had a
00:16:10.620 really good
00:16:11.320 quote there
00:16:12.160 that I
00:16:13.720 apparently wrote
00:16:14.460 over with
00:16:14.900 another quote.
00:16:15.840 So you won't
00:16:16.360 hear that,
00:16:16.840 but here's the
00:16:17.900 general point of
00:16:19.600 it.
00:16:20.220 The general
00:16:21.000 point of it
00:16:21.480 is that the
00:16:22.700 New York
00:16:22.980 Times is
00:16:24.560 trying to
00:16:25.540 find a way
00:16:26.320 to describe
00:16:28.420 TikTok as
00:16:29.340 not the
00:16:30.540 obvious worst
00:16:31.280 thing in the
00:16:31.660 world and
00:16:32.040 needs to be
00:16:32.480 removed immediately.
00:16:33.340 So listen to
00:16:34.840 one of the
00:16:35.160 ways that they
00:16:35.740 excuse the
00:16:36.600 Biden
00:16:36.860 administration.
00:16:38.980 The Biden
00:16:39.440 administration has
00:16:40.340 been negotiating
00:16:41.220 with ByteDance
00:16:42.060 for a year
00:16:42.660 about how to
00:16:44.800 handle the
00:16:46.680 TikTok situation.
00:16:48.640 Now, is that
00:16:49.380 the way you
00:16:49.720 would have
00:16:49.940 characterized it?
00:16:51.520 Would you
00:16:51.900 characterize a
00:16:53.520 year has gone
00:16:54.300 by with
00:16:55.980 fuck nothing
00:16:56.640 happening?
00:16:57.860 Well, there's
00:16:58.560 a major
00:16:59.580 security concern
00:17:02.140 and no
00:17:03.040 argument on
00:17:03.640 the other
00:17:03.900 side.
00:17:05.320 See, the
00:17:05.720 no argument
00:17:06.260 on the
00:17:06.620 other side
00:17:07.160 part is
00:17:07.620 really
00:17:07.880 important.
00:17:09.660 Why would
00:17:10.260 it take a
00:17:10.740 year to
00:17:12.080 negotiate
00:17:12.540 something when
00:17:14.080 there's nothing
00:17:14.560 to negotiate?
00:17:16.200 There's nothing
00:17:16.860 to negotiate.
00:17:18.120 You just
00:17:18.520 say, we
00:17:19.780 ban you and
00:17:20.500 then they're
00:17:20.760 not in the
00:17:21.220 app stores and
00:17:21.980 it's over.
00:17:22.840 There's nothing
00:17:23.340 to negotiate.
00:17:24.800 The fact that
00:17:25.740 the New York
00:17:26.120 Times has to
00:17:27.280 give cover to
00:17:28.200 Biden and
00:17:28.840 saying they're
00:17:29.240 negotiating for
00:17:30.040 a year, there's
00:17:31.100 no negotiating
00:17:31.920 going on.
00:17:33.060 Who thinks
00:17:33.540 that's real?
00:17:34.760 Does anybody
00:17:35.220 think they're
00:17:35.600 actually negotiating
00:17:37.060 for a year?
00:17:38.580 Of course not.
00:17:40.260 That's the most
00:17:41.000 ridiculous lie
00:17:41.960 I've ever seen.
00:17:43.740 Well, maybe
00:17:44.500 not the most
00:17:45.020 ridiculous.
00:17:47.460 So, yeah, we
00:17:48.640 have some real
00:17:49.320 questions there.
00:17:50.500 And we have to
00:17:51.380 assume that the
00:17:51.920 government is
00:17:52.400 corrupt because
00:17:53.580 the TikTok thing,
00:17:55.180 like I say, it
00:17:55.820 doesn't have an
00:17:56.360 argument on the
00:17:56.960 other side.
00:17:57.980 And when you
00:17:58.320 see them not
00:17:59.360 able to act
00:18:00.260 when there's
00:18:01.520 no argument,
00:18:02.980 that's got to
00:18:04.120 be corruption.
00:18:06.180 Right?
00:18:06.540 Because even
00:18:07.080 incompetence doesn't
00:18:08.120 explain it because
00:18:09.280 it's just an
00:18:09.820 executive order.
00:18:11.540 Like, it would
00:18:12.120 be the easiest
00:18:12.780 thing you could
00:18:13.400 ever do.
00:18:14.580 Like, you don't
00:18:15.160 even have to do
00:18:15.760 work.
00:18:16.240 Biden could just
00:18:16.860 say, write an
00:18:17.760 executive order
00:18:18.500 and ban TikTok.
00:18:20.920 You know, I'm
00:18:21.900 the head of the
00:18:23.200 military, so just
00:18:24.560 go do it.
00:18:25.560 That would be
00:18:26.020 it.
00:18:26.220 You know, it
00:18:29.780 couldn't be more
00:18:30.360 obviously corruption
00:18:31.600 related.
00:18:33.000 Speaking of
00:18:33.680 corruption, the
00:18:35.920 theme for the
00:18:36.860 rest of this is
00:18:37.720 that the whole
00:18:39.560 government is
00:18:40.060 corrupt in
00:18:40.940 various ways.
00:18:42.380 And it
00:18:43.480 occurred to me
00:18:44.120 today that if
00:18:44.840 Trump takes the
00:18:46.580 crooked Hillary
00:18:47.480 concept and just
00:18:50.540 applies it to the
00:18:51.360 entire FBI,
00:18:52.900 Department of
00:18:53.340 Justice, CIA, and
00:18:55.280 if he just
00:18:55.740 says, look, I'm
00:18:57.440 just going to
00:18:57.860 fire the top
00:18:58.660 several layers of
00:19:00.000 management in all
00:19:00.860 of these
00:19:01.160 organizations, I
00:19:03.460 don't even know
00:19:04.000 which ones are
00:19:04.500 good and which
00:19:05.000 ones are bad, and
00:19:05.820 I can't tell, but
00:19:07.420 I'm going to get
00:19:07.880 rid of two levels
00:19:08.680 of management from
00:19:09.660 the top down in
00:19:11.220 all of these
00:19:11.820 organizations.
00:19:12.240 I'm just going to
00:19:12.720 give them all a
00:19:13.140 haircut.
00:19:14.500 I'm just going to
00:19:15.080 mow the lawn.
00:19:16.560 And I'm sorry, I
00:19:17.820 don't know which
00:19:18.240 ones are good and
00:19:18.880 which ones are bad,
00:19:20.220 and this will be
00:19:20.900 bad for the ones
00:19:21.640 who are good and
00:19:22.320 got taken out.
00:19:23.200 But for the
00:19:24.020 good of the
00:19:24.360 country, these
00:19:25.680 organizations have
00:19:27.080 lost our trust.
00:19:28.400 We just have to
00:19:29.040 mow the lawn.
00:19:30.180 Time to do
00:19:30.640 maintenance.
00:19:31.520 It's just basic
00:19:32.100 maintenance.
00:19:33.240 It's like not
00:19:34.020 personal, it's just
00:19:35.700 you've got to, you
00:19:37.500 just got to shore up
00:19:38.580 the republic.
00:19:40.600 Now, what if I
00:19:43.200 taught you is the
00:19:44.400 best, most powerful
00:19:46.440 form of persuasion?
00:19:48.740 Go.
00:19:49.120 Fear, correct.
00:19:52.120 Got it on the
00:19:52.600 first try.
00:19:53.580 Fear.
00:19:55.360 Don't you think
00:19:56.260 that the entire
00:19:57.360 government being
00:19:58.160 corrupt scares
00:20:01.160 people?
00:20:02.080 Now, I don't know
00:20:03.140 if it scares people
00:20:03.960 on the left yet,
00:20:05.440 because they may be
00:20:06.700 getting such fake
00:20:07.520 news that they
00:20:08.200 have no idea what's
00:20:09.160 going on.
00:20:10.020 But between the
00:20:10.920 concern about the
00:20:12.500 vaccinations, whether
00:20:14.560 that whole thing was
00:20:15.520 handled honestly,
00:20:17.040 the concern about
00:20:19.060 the FBI, which is
00:20:20.620 now going beyond
00:20:21.620 concern, is proof
00:20:23.780 that they were
00:20:25.020 working against the
00:20:26.000 legally elected
00:20:26.920 government.
00:20:28.400 That's just now in
00:20:29.540 evidence.
00:20:30.700 And I think Trump
00:20:32.880 could make a case
00:20:33.980 that if he goes
00:20:36.380 with draining the
00:20:37.180 swamp, nobody's
00:20:38.100 going to listen to
00:20:38.860 that, because he
00:20:39.880 didn't do any
00:20:40.420 draining the swamp.
00:20:41.660 It has to be more
00:20:42.460 specific.
00:20:43.680 I'm going to fire
00:20:44.420 two layers of all
00:20:46.140 of these organizations
00:20:47.080 and just going to
00:20:48.160 replace all the
00:20:48.960 management that's
00:20:49.640 been there for more
00:20:51.060 than a year, or
00:20:52.240 something like that.
00:20:55.140 Anyway, I think
00:20:55.860 you could do that.
00:20:56.760 Here are the
00:20:57.280 fellow things that
00:20:58.680 are, oh, and I
00:21:00.200 would also call it a
00:21:01.220 tourniquet strategy.
00:21:02.940 So imagine if Trump
00:21:03.920 went after all the
00:21:05.060 corrupt organizations,
00:21:06.680 but also in every
00:21:08.100 rally he went
00:21:09.200 through the hoaxes
00:21:10.300 that the country has
00:21:11.820 suffered because of
00:21:12.700 the media, right?
00:21:13.920 Like, there's at
00:21:15.140 least 20 of them
00:21:16.060 that he could
00:21:16.500 mention.
00:21:17.280 He could throw in
00:21:18.200 a new one in every
00:21:20.000 rally.
00:21:21.560 All right, here's my
00:21:22.600 third rally, hoax
00:21:23.940 number three, and
00:21:25.640 there's just speak
00:21:26.560 about the hoax, and
00:21:27.680 then it becomes like
00:21:28.320 a little news bite,
00:21:29.740 and he just hit every
00:21:30.620 hoax until the news
00:21:32.920 can summarize them.
00:21:34.300 All right, here are
00:21:34.720 all the hoaxes that,
00:21:36.720 you know, Trump has
00:21:37.400 debunked.
00:21:39.820 Anyway, the January
00:21:40.700 6th hoax committee,
00:21:41.740 I call them a hoax
00:21:42.880 because I can't take
00:21:44.700 the January 6th
00:21:45.540 committee seriously.
00:21:47.460 There are four things
00:21:48.660 they have recommended
00:21:49.400 to the Department of
00:21:51.260 Justice.
00:21:52.280 Their recommendations
00:21:53.280 have no weight, no
00:21:54.700 standing, and no
00:21:55.740 functional purpose
00:21:56.740 whatsoever because the
00:21:58.820 Department of Justice
00:21:59.600 is already investigating
00:22:01.640 everything they care
00:22:02.520 about.
00:22:03.800 Like, they weren't
00:22:04.380 waiting.
00:22:05.760 The Department of
00:22:06.420 Justice wasn't waiting
00:22:07.460 for this public
00:22:08.240 information to be
00:22:09.260 packaged up.
00:22:10.060 like, it doesn't
00:22:11.300 have any, it's just
00:22:12.680 not part of any
00:22:13.760 justice system process.
00:22:17.420 It's literally just
00:22:18.540 for the news, so they
00:22:19.940 have something to talk
00:22:20.780 about and, you know,
00:22:22.180 propaganda.
00:22:23.260 So here are the four
00:22:24.040 things.
00:22:25.120 The question I want
00:22:26.320 to ask you is, if you
00:22:28.220 know what projection
00:22:29.240 means, where you blame
00:22:31.980 somebody for doing the
00:22:32.860 exact crime that you're
00:22:34.260 doing, see if this
00:22:36.020 sounds like projection.
00:22:36.920 Because the committee
00:22:38.920 did seem like a bunch
00:22:39.900 of toxic narcissists, and
00:22:42.440 they project.
00:22:44.220 So just ask yourself, if
00:22:46.120 the things that they're
00:22:46.940 saying that Trump did, is
00:22:49.360 there anything in the
00:22:50.500 past few years that you
00:22:52.980 would say would apply to
00:22:55.180 the Democrats?
00:22:56.880 For example, number one,
00:22:58.440 obstruction of an
00:22:59.420 official proceeding.
00:23:01.160 Is there anything that any
00:23:03.200 Democrats have done in the
00:23:04.480 past several years that
00:23:06.120 would look like obstruction
00:23:07.260 of an official proceeding?
00:23:11.340 Yes.
00:23:13.780 Lots.
00:23:14.880 How about conspiracy to
00:23:16.800 defraud the U.S.?
00:23:17.820 I don't even know what
00:23:18.520 that refers to.
00:23:20.060 I watched this whole thing
00:23:21.260 and I don't even know
00:23:21.840 what that is.
00:23:22.880 What exactly would be the
00:23:24.500 conspiracy to defraud
00:23:25.860 something?
00:23:27.080 The election?
00:23:28.700 By saying the election
00:23:31.220 wasn't fair according to
00:23:32.940 him?
00:23:33.100 All right.
00:23:36.000 Have the Democrats ever
00:23:37.580 done a conspiracy to
00:23:38.900 defraud the U.S.?
00:23:40.400 Russia collusion hoax.
00:23:43.260 Of course they have.
00:23:44.720 Yeah.
00:23:45.160 The Democrats run one
00:23:46.620 conspiracy after another to
00:23:48.220 defraud the U.S.
00:23:49.800 It's nonstop.
00:23:51.740 How about making a false
00:23:53.440 statement?
00:23:55.060 Can you believe that?
00:23:56.200 They want the Department of
00:24:00.140 Justice to prosecute Trump
00:24:02.640 for making a false
00:24:03.760 statement.
00:24:05.420 Could you be more
00:24:06.640 specific?
00:24:08.420 Could you be less
00:24:09.380 specific?
00:24:12.120 All the Democrats do is
00:24:13.780 make false statements.
00:24:15.760 That's like Schiff's entire
00:24:17.180 job.
00:24:18.200 The laptop was
00:24:20.300 disinformation.
00:24:21.300 It's all false statements.
00:24:23.000 How about inciting an
00:24:24.180 insurrection?
00:24:26.200 Who do you think incited
00:24:27.500 the insurrection?
00:24:30.000 Well, I mean, all of
00:24:31.340 these are so subjective
00:24:32.340 at the FBI.
00:24:35.160 So, to me, to me it
00:24:38.520 looks like just
00:24:39.120 projection.
00:24:40.980 That's all I see.
00:24:42.260 Now, of course, it'll
00:24:42.940 work because the
00:24:44.020 Democrats will embrace
00:24:45.920 it.
00:24:47.100 Now, I saw a tweet from
00:24:48.340 Greg Price who says
00:24:49.880 the person who made this
00:24:52.100 announcement, in other
00:24:53.220 words, the four charges
00:24:54.340 against Trump, was
00:24:56.000 Representative Jamie
00:24:57.300 Raskin, who objected to
00:24:59.240 the certification of the
00:25:00.620 2016 election based on
00:25:03.120 the lie that Russia
00:25:04.840 installed Trump as
00:25:06.360 president.
00:25:08.440 Now, knowing as you will
00:25:10.640 that Jamie Raskin is the
00:25:12.500 one who read the four
00:25:14.840 charges and knowing that
00:25:17.080 he was personally involved
00:25:18.620 in basically this crime.
00:25:21.240 So, when Jamie Raskin
00:25:24.460 objected to the
00:25:25.820 certification of the
00:25:26.920 2016 election based on
00:25:29.260 the lie that Russia
00:25:30.840 installed Trump as
00:25:32.040 president, was he
00:25:33.400 obstructing an official
00:25:34.520 proceeding?
00:25:38.020 Sort of.
00:25:39.600 With a bunch of
00:25:40.420 bullshit.
00:25:41.580 Was he, was it a
00:25:42.880 conspiracy to defraud
00:25:44.140 the U.S.?
00:25:44.620 That's exactly what it
00:25:45.520 was.
00:25:46.180 The Russia collusion
00:25:47.040 thing was a conspiracy
00:25:48.120 to defraud the U.S.
00:25:49.080 Was he making a false
00:25:50.760 statement?
00:25:51.500 Yes.
00:25:52.460 And was he inciting an
00:25:53.920 insurrection?
00:25:55.060 He was literally trying to
00:25:56.300 overthrow the government.
00:25:58.440 Like, overtly.
00:26:00.660 He said, this government
00:26:02.040 should be overthrown because
00:26:03.400 it's a Russian, whatever.
00:26:06.820 Now, could this be more
00:26:08.980 obvious?
00:26:10.840 You know, I'm somewhat
00:26:12.940 infamous for saying that I
00:26:15.000 didn't think projection was
00:26:16.280 necessarily even real.
00:26:17.360 I didn't think it was.
00:26:20.120 Honestly.
00:26:20.740 But until you see the real
00:26:21.720 examples of it, it's hard
00:26:24.300 to believe.
00:26:25.500 Like, if you didn't see
00:26:26.480 example after example, you
00:26:27.960 wouldn't believe it on
00:26:28.940 concept.
00:26:30.320 You know, the concept of it
00:26:31.380 is too ridiculous.
00:26:32.620 But there it is.
00:26:34.200 There it is.
00:26:35.580 This could not be a cleaner
00:26:36.900 example than projection.
00:26:38.660 And the Democrats are
00:26:40.700 buying it.
00:26:43.200 All right.
00:26:43.880 So today, I guess the
00:26:45.460 House Ways and Means
00:26:46.140 Committee is going to vote
00:26:47.180 on releasing Trump's tax
00:26:49.760 returns.
00:26:52.320 Has that happened yet?
00:26:54.200 Has the vote happened?
00:26:56.680 Probably not.
00:26:57.740 I would have heard about it.
00:26:59.240 So, what's the dog not
00:27:03.000 barking?
00:27:03.340 Do you hear the biggest dog
00:27:07.040 in the world not barking?
00:27:09.560 Like a really, really big dog
00:27:11.700 not barking?
00:27:12.320 They, Congress has his tax
00:27:17.460 returns.
00:27:18.980 They've looked at them.
00:27:21.060 They have nothing to complain
00:27:22.700 about, apparently.
00:27:25.600 Apparently, there's no crime
00:27:26.940 there.
00:27:28.820 Don't you think if there were
00:27:30.580 anything in the taxes, do you
00:27:32.460 think it would have leaked?
00:27:33.280 That's a, you know, that's not
00:27:36.740 a real question.
00:27:37.700 Of course it would have
00:27:38.500 leaked.
00:27:39.360 A hundred percent chance.
00:27:40.760 That's one of the things you
00:27:41.640 don't have to wonder about.
00:27:43.260 You know, right.
00:27:44.660 Not one leak about his taxes.
00:27:46.700 Do you know what that means?
00:27:48.560 It could only mean one thing.
00:27:50.800 There's only one thing that
00:27:52.240 means.
00:27:53.420 There's nothing there.
00:27:54.420 But what does it mean that
00:27:56.220 they want to release them?
00:27:57.920 What is the second thing it
00:27:58.980 means?
00:28:00.040 It means that they know that
00:28:02.620 the press and the public are
00:28:04.660 not sophisticated at looking at
00:28:06.500 tax returns.
00:28:07.680 And that the press and the
00:28:08.840 public will generate unlimited
00:28:11.240 stories of what bad problems
00:28:13.540 they found that are not real.
00:28:17.280 They'll just take stuff out of
00:28:18.620 context.
00:28:19.860 Right?
00:28:21.540 So, clearly, the only reason
00:28:23.200 they want to release them
00:28:24.140 is to embarrass Trump and make
00:28:26.200 him less electable.
00:28:28.560 Now, if they're not claiming
00:28:30.940 that there are any crimes in
00:28:32.260 there, and so far they're not,
00:28:35.080 if they're not claiming there
00:28:36.300 are any crimes in there, what
00:28:38.320 should be the response to
00:28:43.020 Congress releasing them?
00:28:46.880 If there's no claim of
00:28:48.220 impropriety, and they release
00:28:50.220 them, and they take his
00:28:52.620 his privacy.
00:28:58.500 Well, let me give you my opinion.
00:29:01.920 It should be illegal, and it
00:29:04.520 should be the death penalty.
00:29:07.080 Now, it's not illegal, so I'm not
00:29:09.760 recommending any violence or
00:29:11.100 anything like that.
00:29:11.960 I'm saying that if you were to
00:29:13.420 rate the seriousness of it, they
00:29:17.140 are taking down a president right in
00:29:18.960 front of you, or trying to.
00:29:20.160 They're trying to alter the course
00:29:22.580 of the republic by doing
00:29:24.420 something that apparently doesn't
00:29:26.440 have a legal or country benefit.
00:29:31.280 And they're doing it right in front
00:29:32.700 of you, and they're not even
00:29:34.280 claiming there's a crime in there
00:29:35.620 right in front of you.
00:29:37.620 They're not doing it to Trump.
00:29:39.000 They're doing it to you.
00:29:39.800 Because if this standard falls, then
00:29:45.140 anybody's taxes are fair game for
00:29:47.540 anybody.
00:29:48.740 Why wouldn't they release mine?
00:29:51.360 They say, hey, this guy keeps saying
00:29:52.820 things we don't like.
00:29:53.740 Let's release his taxes.
00:29:55.300 What would stop him?
00:29:57.540 Is it because Trump's president and I'm
00:29:59.520 not?
00:30:00.960 That's not a law, is it?
00:30:03.560 Is there some law that says presidents
00:30:05.320 have to release their taxes?
00:30:06.820 No, it's the opposite.
00:30:07.560 There's no law.
00:30:09.240 There's no law.
00:30:10.520 So if they do it anyway, he's just a
00:30:12.480 citizen whose taxes got released.
00:30:14.400 Because they thought it was, what,
00:30:17.100 politically useful?
00:30:19.820 Of interest to the public?
00:30:22.620 Is that good enough?
00:30:24.400 The public would be interested.
00:30:26.080 So I guess they could show the public
00:30:27.760 my tax returns too, right?
00:30:29.560 Because the public would be
00:30:30.520 interested, wouldn't they?
00:30:32.220 They'd say, oh, he talks about
00:30:33.360 politics.
00:30:33.880 I'd like to see his taxes.
00:30:34.820 Where does that stop?
00:30:37.160 Now, I don't believe in this slippery
00:30:38.780 slope, you know, predicting everything
00:30:40.920 because it doesn't.
00:30:43.040 But in terms of how bad this is, you
00:30:47.000 know, again, without any specific claim
00:30:49.320 of illegality, this is a 10 out of 10.
00:30:54.380 You're watching them, you know, let's
00:30:58.120 say digitally crucify somebody just so he
00:31:01.800 won't run for president.
00:31:03.860 That's all it is.
00:31:05.920 And we're sitting here accepting that,
00:31:07.760 like, well, I guess.
00:31:10.360 I guess they followed the rules.
00:31:14.220 Un-fucking-believable.
00:31:15.260 And what about the whole revelation
00:31:19.220 of the Twitter files?
00:31:21.820 So Michael Schellenberger did another,
00:31:24.580 you know, great Twitter thread yesterday.
00:31:26.980 And at this point, it's very clear,
00:31:29.360 all the evidence suggests,
00:31:31.700 that Jim Baker is the key figure
00:31:34.780 who went from, you know, top legal position
00:31:37.740 at the FBI to Twitter.
00:31:38.960 And it's obvious that Twitter was trying
00:31:41.380 to control, trying to.
00:31:45.540 They did a good job of influencing Twitter.
00:31:49.160 They were even paying Twitter $3 million
00:31:51.420 for Twitter answering their questions.
00:31:54.400 Now, that's not like a big profit center.
00:31:56.900 So I don't think Twitter was influenced
00:31:59.720 by the money.
00:32:01.200 Like, everybody's influenced by money,
00:32:03.080 but that was actually a small amount.
00:32:05.260 And it kind of just covered their expenses.
00:32:07.200 So I don't think that was the motivation.
00:32:09.820 It's the truth.
00:32:10.740 They got money,
00:32:11.380 but I don't think that it was too small
00:32:12.960 to motivate them.
00:32:17.220 Now, we know at this point
00:32:18.620 that the FBI was totally corrupt.
00:32:24.280 I'm going to use corrupt
00:32:25.280 in an expansive sense,
00:32:27.780 not necessarily legal sense,
00:32:29.420 because I don't know if they violated any laws.
00:32:31.560 But what they did was a form of corruption
00:32:35.320 that, as Jordan Peterson tweeted,
00:32:38.280 I think, yesterday,
00:32:39.320 is way worse than Watergate.
00:32:41.660 And you hate to say that, right?
00:32:44.200 Because it's such a punchline.
00:32:46.020 It's worse than Watergate.
00:32:47.800 The walls are closing in.
00:32:49.480 But it would be hard to argue this one.
00:32:52.760 It would be hard to debate
00:32:53.980 what we know for sure,
00:32:57.500 like the things that are not in question at all.
00:32:59.620 Just the things we know for sure
00:33:01.340 are way worse than Watergate.
00:33:04.460 It's not even in the same planet.
00:33:06.900 Am I wrong?
00:33:09.640 Well, it's way worse.
00:33:12.780 And what will happen from all of it?
00:33:15.160 Probably nothing.
00:33:17.020 Probably nobody will be punished
00:33:18.880 for anything,
00:33:21.500 is my guess.
00:33:22.280 All right.
00:33:28.440 So,
00:33:29.920 so the former FBI general counsel,
00:33:34.900 I think this was a,
00:33:36.340 was this Greenwald or Schellenberg?
00:33:38.520 Who said this?
00:33:40.260 Now, do you think it's a total lie
00:33:42.000 that Baker
00:33:44.360 believed it was still a question
00:33:47.840 about whether the laptop was real or not?
00:33:50.400 Because Baker was saying,
00:33:51.480 well, you know,
00:33:52.800 we can't tell for sure
00:33:54.140 whether the laptop is real.
00:33:57.100 So I'm not saying it's not real,
00:33:58.900 but we can't tell for sure.
00:34:01.220 Is that a lie?
00:34:04.000 Is it?
00:34:05.680 Is it a lie that he couldn't tell for sure?
00:34:08.960 How would he know?
00:34:10.660 Because at that point,
00:34:11.720 the FBI had not validated it,
00:34:13.340 only the New York Post had.
00:34:14.980 So as far as he knew,
00:34:17.820 although it was,
00:34:19.580 it could have been validated,
00:34:21.480 like the,
00:34:22.520 the assets and the time to do it
00:34:24.380 were there,
00:34:25.140 but they had not been.
00:34:28.180 Is that a lie?
00:34:29.940 Well,
00:34:30.400 I'd say it's a lawyer lie.
00:34:32.420 It's a legal lie.
00:34:34.880 Like if he said,
00:34:36.080 do you really believe
00:34:37.520 that it hasn't been validated?
00:34:39.500 I think he could get away
00:34:40.920 with it in court
00:34:41.660 and say,
00:34:42.600 yes,
00:34:43.440 the only evidence I am aware of
00:34:45.980 was the New York Post.
00:34:47.400 I don't consider them credible
00:34:48.760 for whatever reason.
00:34:50.360 And the FBI said
00:34:51.420 they had not verified it.
00:34:53.780 So what am I supposed to say?
00:34:55.760 If the FBI says they don't know,
00:34:58.720 what am I supposed to say?
00:35:01.100 So he does have a defense.
00:35:03.340 I'm not sure I would call it a lie,
00:35:05.940 but the odds that he knew
00:35:07.820 exactly what he was doing
00:35:09.200 seem very high.
00:35:11.580 Can we agree?
00:35:14.140 Can we agree that the,
00:35:15.400 the odds that he knew
00:35:16.760 exactly what he was doing
00:35:18.200 are very high.
00:35:20.940 Very, very high.
00:35:23.840 But he has a defense.
00:35:27.200 And now we know
00:35:28.220 that the Department of Justice
00:35:29.700 was reading the emails
00:35:32.460 of Devin Nunes
00:35:33.320 and Kash Patel.
00:35:38.200 What?
00:35:38.760 during the actual
00:35:41.960 period of
00:35:43.860 Devin Nunes
00:35:44.880 trying to
00:35:45.560 get to the bottom
00:35:46.500 of the Russia collusion hoax,
00:35:49.080 the Department of Justice
00:35:50.220 found a clever excuse
00:35:52.580 to read his fucking emails
00:35:55.440 and Kash Patel
00:35:57.000 and maybe some other staffers.
00:36:00.000 Oh,
00:36:00.840 my God.
00:36:04.360 Am I surprised now?
00:36:05.840 Of course not.
00:36:07.220 But,
00:36:07.580 oh,
00:36:09.420 my God.
00:36:11.960 You could take
00:36:12.720 any one of these stories
00:36:13.840 and it was worse
00:36:14.900 than Watergate.
00:36:16.080 We're at like
00:36:16.980 five times worse
00:36:18.140 than Watergate
00:36:18.800 in five different ways.
00:36:22.460 It's,
00:36:22.980 it's almost too much
00:36:24.280 to even,
00:36:25.700 and this is what
00:36:26.300 I worry about.
00:36:27.320 If there had been
00:36:28.280 one like
00:36:29.260 clean little scandal,
00:36:31.800 then the,
00:36:32.280 you know,
00:36:32.520 the Republicans
00:36:33.060 would pounce on it
00:36:34.060 and the media
00:36:34.500 would have to talk
00:36:35.200 about it
00:36:35.700 and maybe like
00:36:36.880 something would happen.
00:36:37.740 Like Watergate.
00:36:38.920 Watergate was
00:36:39.620 pretty much
00:36:40.740 one little story
00:36:41.840 of the break-in
00:36:42.800 and it was like
00:36:44.520 a clean little story.
00:36:46.160 But,
00:36:46.500 there is so much
00:36:47.880 bad going on
00:36:48.900 at the same time
00:36:49.760 that we're finding
00:36:50.580 out about,
00:36:51.400 so much corruption
00:36:52.800 that I wouldn't know
00:36:54.460 where to even focus.
00:36:56.940 Like,
00:36:57.360 I'm actually,
00:36:58.340 was it the OODA loop?
00:37:00.960 What's that called?
00:37:01.760 The OODA loop?
00:37:03.880 I'm saying it wrong.
00:37:05.460 OODA loop?
00:37:06.200 Loop.
00:37:07.620 OODA?
00:37:08.140 OODA.
00:37:09.020 The OODA loop.
00:37:10.800 So basically,
00:37:11.640 if you just keep
00:37:12.360 being pushed
00:37:14.640 by the new information,
00:37:15.980 you can never deal
00:37:16.700 with the information
00:37:17.380 that you had before.
00:37:19.000 In other words,
00:37:19.500 new information
00:37:20.120 is just pushing you forward
00:37:21.360 and you're like,
00:37:22.320 hey,
00:37:22.580 what about that other thing?
00:37:23.840 Okay,
00:37:24.340 on to the new thing.
00:37:25.700 So as long as you
00:37:26.480 just keep getting pushed
00:37:27.620 by the new headlines,
00:37:29.440 you can't really
00:37:30.260 deal with
00:37:32.240 any of the
00:37:34.040 individual badness.
00:37:35.540 It's just too big
00:37:36.560 and too spread out
00:37:38.020 and too complicated.
00:37:40.540 I think they get away
00:37:41.560 with everything.
00:37:43.400 That's what I think.
00:37:44.440 I think they will
00:37:45.520 get away with everything
00:37:46.400 because they know
00:37:47.360 how to do it.
00:37:48.060 They know how to just
00:37:48.840 make the environment
00:37:52.240 impossible
00:37:53.000 to come after them.
00:37:58.020 All right,
00:37:58.520 here's another scandal.
00:38:00.200 Like,
00:38:00.600 I don't know,
00:38:01.220 forget if I mentioned this,
00:38:02.160 I think I did,
00:38:03.180 that the Biden administration
00:38:04.340 said they created
00:38:05.380 a million jobs
00:38:06.380 right before the election.
00:38:09.500 It was just
00:38:10.020 a complete lie.
00:38:11.660 The real number
00:38:12.400 rounds to zero.
00:38:14.820 The difference between,
00:38:16.140 you know,
00:38:16.740 10,000,
00:38:17.360 I think,
00:38:17.920 and a million.
00:38:20.480 Just an obvious,
00:38:22.540 clean lie.
00:38:23.680 Do you think
00:38:24.100 it would have affected
00:38:24.900 the election
00:38:25.680 to know that
00:38:26.860 the jobs president,
00:38:28.200 as he would like
00:38:28.900 to call himself,
00:38:30.100 created,
00:38:30.580 you know,
00:38:30.800 basically no jobs?
00:38:34.460 Unbelievable.
00:38:34.940 Unbelievable.
00:38:36.220 Unbelievable.
00:38:37.380 And I'm trying to think,
00:38:38.660 what is anything
00:38:40.120 that the Trump
00:38:40.780 administration ever did
00:38:42.300 that would be
00:38:43.460 in this class
00:38:44.840 of badness?
00:38:46.800 Like,
00:38:47.320 there's plenty of stuff
00:38:47.980 you didn't like,
00:38:49.900 right?
00:38:50.280 There are things
00:38:50.720 you didn't like
00:38:51.560 that Trump did,
00:38:53.980 but did he do
00:38:54.740 anything like this?
00:38:56.320 That just, like,
00:38:57.040 is, like,
00:38:57.900 obvious corruption?
00:38:58.840 Well, you know,
00:39:01.860 we'll never agree
00:39:02.600 on the vaccination
00:39:03.680 thing.
00:39:05.040 But you have to
00:39:06.220 judge Trump
00:39:07.100 by what he knew
00:39:08.320 at the time.
00:39:10.460 So,
00:39:11.040 that's going to be
00:39:11.820 tough,
00:39:12.180 because our brains
00:39:12.780 don't work that way.
00:39:14.280 You know,
00:39:14.440 we're going to judge
00:39:15.040 by what we know now.
00:39:16.360 We're not going to
00:39:17.100 judge him by what
00:39:17.900 he knew and what
00:39:18.840 everybody knew
00:39:19.400 at the time.
00:39:20.180 We simply don't
00:39:21.380 have the ability
00:39:22.000 to do it.
00:39:23.200 Like,
00:39:23.420 I love that we
00:39:24.360 were smart enough
00:39:25.220 and wise enough
00:39:26.700 and, you know,
00:39:28.040 mature enough
00:39:28.920 to say,
00:39:29.820 well,
00:39:30.900 he acted on what
00:39:31.720 he knew at the time.
00:39:33.060 Well, we're not.
00:39:34.520 As you can see
00:39:35.940 at the comments,
00:39:36.580 we're definitely not.
00:39:40.300 All right.
00:39:43.620 So,
00:39:44.500 here's what reality
00:39:46.240 has done.
00:39:47.240 There are two realities
00:39:48.280 about the COVID shots.
00:39:50.800 In one reality,
00:39:52.000 they were a huge
00:39:55.200 success,
00:39:56.120 but there's some
00:39:57.600 question about
00:39:58.380 whether they make
00:39:59.160 sense for younger
00:39:59.980 people,
00:40:00.620 especially men.
00:40:03.260 So,
00:40:03.580 that's one movie
00:40:04.460 that maybe,
00:40:06.460 I don't know,
00:40:06.800 half of the country
00:40:07.360 has.
00:40:08.640 I'm not saying
00:40:09.160 what's true
00:40:09.640 and what's false.
00:40:10.320 I'm just saying
00:40:10.720 what their reality is.
00:40:12.460 So,
00:40:12.660 the reality is
00:40:13.320 that the shots
00:40:14.260 were a huge success.
00:40:15.620 They're glad they got
00:40:16.520 them,
00:40:16.880 saved millions of lives.
00:40:18.840 But maybe,
00:40:19.620 but maybe because
00:40:20.580 of Omicron,
00:40:22.000 we should rethink
00:40:22.820 younger people
00:40:23.560 and especially
00:40:24.640 younger males.
00:40:26.180 In the other movie,
00:40:28.580 the shots were
00:40:29.840 simply more harm
00:40:31.140 than good
00:40:31.660 and that that has
00:40:32.940 been so well
00:40:33.760 demonstrated
00:40:34.320 that that's just
00:40:35.060 true.
00:40:36.320 That we already know
00:40:37.560 without having to
00:40:38.980 wait any further,
00:40:40.100 we don't have to
00:40:40.700 wait for the future,
00:40:41.740 we already know
00:40:43.100 what the future
00:40:44.440 looks like.
00:40:46.040 And that we
00:40:47.040 already know
00:40:47.760 that there will
00:40:48.840 be more harm
00:40:49.740 in the future
00:40:50.660 than benefit
00:40:51.920 from the
00:40:52.400 vaccinations.
00:40:53.600 Now,
00:40:53.780 again,
00:40:54.020 I'm not saying
00:40:54.480 what's true
00:40:54.880 or false.
00:40:55.660 I'm saying
00:40:56.280 that these
00:40:56.680 two realities
00:40:57.640 live completely
00:40:59.580 and they're
00:41:01.780 opposites,
00:41:02.340 right?
00:41:02.540 They can't
00:41:02.960 both be true.
00:41:04.380 Now,
00:41:04.660 would you agree
00:41:05.080 that's our
00:41:05.960 current situation?
00:41:07.500 Again,
00:41:08.140 don't tell me
00:41:08.920 what's true
00:41:09.380 or what's false.
00:41:10.760 Is that our
00:41:11.360 current situation
00:41:12.200 that we have
00:41:13.280 two realities?
00:41:14.920 Okay.
00:41:15.700 Here's what
00:41:16.200 I'm going to add
00:41:17.200 to this.
00:41:18.160 It will never
00:41:18.780 be resolved.
00:41:20.700 Do you know
00:41:21.400 why?
00:41:22.740 Why will it
00:41:23.560 never be resolved
00:41:24.580 into one reality?
00:41:28.120 Because that's
00:41:28.820 not how anything
00:41:29.400 works.
00:41:31.240 Here's why.
00:41:32.760 As long as
00:41:33.540 those two realities
00:41:34.300 can operate,
00:41:36.200 they will.
00:41:38.140 As long as
00:41:38.680 they can,
00:41:39.140 they will.
00:41:39.780 And there's
00:41:40.200 nothing that's
00:41:40.740 going to happen
00:41:41.180 that will make
00:41:41.660 them have to
00:41:42.400 merge.
00:41:43.820 Now,
00:41:44.080 you say to
00:41:44.400 yourself,
00:41:44.820 but Scott,
00:41:45.700 what about
00:41:46.360 the new data
00:41:47.440 that will come
00:41:48.000 in later?
00:41:49.140 To which I say,
00:41:50.160 who's going
00:41:50.560 to believe data?
00:41:52.120 You don't believe
00:41:52.940 the data you had.
00:41:54.600 Why would you
00:41:55.280 believe the new
00:41:55.800 data?
00:41:56.780 So if you can't
00:41:57.500 prove it with
00:41:57.960 science and
00:41:59.240 data,
00:41:59.920 because we just
00:42:00.460 won't believe
00:42:01.020 them,
00:42:02.340 how would it
00:42:02.940 ever be resolved?
00:42:04.620 Now,
00:42:04.940 one way would
00:42:05.540 be if one
00:42:07.800 side predicts
00:42:08.740 well and the
00:42:09.880 other doesn't.
00:42:11.280 That's a good
00:42:12.000 sign of who's
00:42:12.620 right, right?
00:42:13.460 If one,
00:42:14.120 with one
00:42:14.620 worldview,
00:42:15.040 predicts and
00:42:17.020 it just keeps
00:42:17.520 getting the
00:42:17.900 predictions right,
00:42:19.340 well,
00:42:19.920 maybe that's
00:42:20.520 the good one.
00:42:22.120 But what will
00:42:23.000 the two worldviews
00:42:24.000 predict?
00:42:25.560 One worldview
00:42:26.920 will predict
00:42:27.620 that the
00:42:29.900 vaccinations
00:42:30.380 worked and
00:42:31.020 there won't
00:42:31.260 be much
00:42:31.640 trouble from
00:42:32.740 the vaccinations.
00:42:33.820 The other
00:42:34.360 one says that
00:42:35.100 there'll be
00:42:35.560 mass problems
00:42:36.500 from the
00:42:36.900 vaccinations.
00:42:38.260 And then
00:42:39.000 which prediction
00:42:39.740 will be correct?
00:42:41.180 Whose prediction
00:42:41.800 will be correct?
00:42:42.600 The mass
00:42:43.180 problems or
00:42:43.980 the, hey,
00:42:44.840 it worked
00:42:45.060 out fine.
00:42:46.440 In the future,
00:42:47.160 who will be
00:42:47.520 predicted?
00:42:48.980 You won't
00:42:49.640 know.
00:42:50.200 Both, right?
00:42:51.420 They will
00:42:51.800 both be
00:42:52.320 completely
00:42:52.720 supported by
00:42:53.440 the data.
00:42:54.960 They can't
00:42:55.680 both be
00:42:56.060 true.
00:42:57.240 Can't both
00:42:57.900 be true.
00:42:58.580 But they
00:42:59.120 will be
00:42:59.440 completely
00:42:59.880 supported by
00:43:00.620 data that
00:43:01.240 the side
00:43:02.100 that wants
00:43:02.460 to believe
00:43:02.900 it accepts.
00:43:03.560 us.
00:43:05.400 Now, here's
00:43:07.620 the interesting
00:43:08.060 part.
00:43:09.040 Is this
00:43:09.480 different than
00:43:11.300 the way it
00:43:11.760 has always
00:43:12.260 been for
00:43:13.460 other topics?
00:43:15.320 Do we
00:43:15.700 always retreat
00:43:17.180 into two
00:43:17.740 different worlds?
00:43:18.740 And we just
00:43:19.220 live in them
00:43:19.680 and it never
00:43:20.240 matters.
00:43:21.040 We just
00:43:21.380 forever are
00:43:22.080 in them.
00:43:23.160 Because remember,
00:43:23.800 we've been in
00:43:24.280 the anti-vaccination
00:43:28.940 two worlds for a
00:43:30.880 long time.
00:43:31.480 way before
00:43:32.520 COVID, we
00:43:34.160 already had
00:43:34.820 two movies
00:43:35.360 that lived
00:43:36.080 permanently and
00:43:38.320 they were
00:43:38.560 opposites.
00:43:39.760 That the
00:43:40.200 childhood
00:43:40.580 vaccinations
00:43:41.200 were bad
00:43:42.020 versus the
00:43:42.960 childhood
00:43:43.300 vaccinations
00:43:43.920 were unambiguously
00:43:44.920 good and
00:43:46.060 they lived
00:43:46.600 completely as
00:43:48.080 two realities.
00:43:50.260 All right.
00:43:51.400 Here's my
00:43:51.920 take.
00:43:53.740 Neither of
00:43:54.400 those realities
00:43:54.960 are true.
00:43:57.260 Do you know
00:43:58.140 why I say
00:43:58.540 that?
00:44:00.100 Because none
00:44:01.040 of the realities
00:44:01.580 are true.
00:44:03.140 Everything you
00:44:03.860 see is sort
00:44:04.680 of like a
00:44:05.080 user interface
00:44:06.100 for something
00:44:06.720 you don't
00:44:07.220 understand.
00:44:09.200 So when you
00:44:10.140 use your
00:44:10.500 computer and
00:44:12.180 you're punching
00:44:13.940 an icon,
00:44:15.080 you see the
00:44:16.020 icon, but
00:44:16.760 that's not
00:44:17.200 what the
00:44:17.620 computer is.
00:44:18.520 The computer
00:44:18.940 is zeros
00:44:19.520 and ones
00:44:20.100 organized in
00:44:21.280 ways you
00:44:21.620 don't see
00:44:22.000 and don't
00:44:22.340 understand.
00:44:23.620 You're at
00:44:24.420 the user
00:44:25.220 interface level.
00:44:26.460 At the user
00:44:27.060 interface level,
00:44:28.200 you don't know
00:44:29.160 if what's
00:44:29.820 behind it
00:44:30.380 is Unix
00:44:32.700 or Mac OS
00:44:34.620 or some
00:44:36.260 Windows thing,
00:44:36.940 right?
00:44:37.820 If all you
00:44:38.400 see is a
00:44:38.960 screen,
00:44:39.960 because you
00:44:41.260 can make a
00:44:42.760 browser look
00:44:43.340 like anything.
00:44:45.020 So I don't
00:44:46.100 believe in an
00:44:47.280 objective reality
00:44:48.480 that we have
00:44:49.940 access to.
00:44:50.640 There might be
00:44:51.060 an objective
00:44:51.500 reality, but I
00:44:52.740 believe that
00:44:53.320 whether
00:44:53.760 vaccinations work
00:44:55.560 or don't work
00:44:56.380 is not a
00:44:57.500 base reality.
00:45:01.300 That neither
00:45:02.120 of those are
00:45:02.640 base reality.
00:45:04.660 That base
00:45:05.100 reality is just
00:45:05.760 something you
00:45:06.200 don't understand.
00:45:08.300 But as long
00:45:09.140 as you can
00:45:09.540 live a world
00:45:10.260 where internally
00:45:11.460 everything is
00:45:12.260 consistent, if
00:45:13.620 you're in the
00:45:14.040 world where
00:45:14.480 vaccinations are
00:45:15.320 good or the
00:45:15.980 world where
00:45:16.400 they're bad,
00:45:17.380 as long as
00:45:18.120 you can live
00:45:18.600 your life and
00:45:19.140 reproduce, that's
00:45:21.080 all you need.
00:45:22.280 That's all you
00:45:22.620 need.
00:45:23.180 But neither of
00:45:24.060 you are right.
00:45:24.740 you're just at
00:45:27.000 the user
00:45:27.340 interface level.
00:45:28.520 So here's what
00:45:29.160 you're arguing.
00:45:30.420 You're looking at
00:45:30.960 two buttons on
00:45:31.620 the screen.
00:45:32.660 You're saying,
00:45:33.140 no, this is the
00:45:33.760 button to do
00:45:34.460 the thing.
00:45:35.520 And the other
00:45:35.940 person said, no,
00:45:36.640 this is the
00:45:37.080 button to do
00:45:37.580 the thing.
00:45:38.580 But you're only
00:45:39.380 talking about
00:45:39.840 buttons.
00:45:41.480 You're not
00:45:42.020 talking about
00:45:42.520 anything in
00:45:43.240 base reality
00:45:43.960 because we
00:45:44.640 don't have
00:45:44.940 access to it.
00:45:49.320 Time-lapse
00:45:50.040 charts here.
00:45:50.680 What's the
00:45:51.080 truth?
00:45:51.540 I want the
00:45:52.020 truth.
00:45:52.800 You're never
00:45:53.440 going to get
00:45:53.920 it.
00:45:54.100 A reality
00:45:54.900 has forked.
00:45:57.900 So I
00:45:58.480 asked on
00:45:59.720 Twitter, I
00:46:00.740 did a poll,
00:46:02.500 and I
00:46:02.840 said, did
00:46:03.680 you fall for
00:46:04.260 the mass
00:46:04.680 hysteria
00:46:05.240 generated by
00:46:07.280 trolls that
00:46:07.860 said I,
00:46:08.620 personally, was
00:46:09.880 pro-vaccine
00:46:10.600 and pro-mask?
00:46:12.440 And I'm
00:46:13.100 going to give
00:46:13.600 you a little
00:46:13.880 test to see
00:46:16.560 how good you
00:46:17.020 are at
00:46:18.360 predicting.
00:46:20.320 Roughly what
00:46:21.060 percentage of
00:46:21.940 the public who
00:46:22.880 answered the
00:46:23.360 poll,
00:46:24.100 believed the
00:46:25.280 mass hysteria
00:46:26.700 that I was
00:46:27.540 pro-vaccine
00:46:28.380 and pro-mask.
00:46:29.840 Very good.
00:46:31.220 Very good
00:46:31.720 guesses, yeah.
00:46:32.500 About a
00:46:32.960 quarter.
00:46:34.340 Yeah, roughly
00:46:34.800 25.
00:46:35.800 About a
00:46:36.300 quarter.
00:46:37.540 Didn't see
00:46:38.260 that coming.
00:46:39.620 Total
00:46:39.940 surprise.
00:46:41.400 When I ran
00:46:42.120 the poll, I
00:46:43.160 could never
00:46:43.660 have anticipated
00:46:44.400 that result.
00:46:45.480 If you're
00:46:47.900 new to the
00:46:48.260 live stream,
00:46:48.840 none of
00:46:49.060 this makes
00:46:49.420 sense.
00:46:50.800 But trust
00:46:51.320 me, it's a
00:46:52.620 very funny
00:46:53.180 inside joke.
00:46:56.360 All right.
00:46:59.080 Somebody
00:46:59.600 called me a
00:47:00.340 fence-sitter
00:47:00.980 on vaccinations.
00:47:04.300 A fence-sitter.
00:47:05.200 isn't that
00:47:07.560 very similar
00:47:09.620 to somebody
00:47:10.120 who's waiting
00:47:10.620 for enough
00:47:11.360 information to
00:47:12.200 have a good
00:47:12.880 decision?
00:47:15.600 Yeah, could
00:47:16.120 you be a
00:47:16.580 fence-sitter?
00:47:16.800 Is it bad to
00:47:18.280 be a fence-sitter
00:47:18.940 when the
00:47:19.560 information's
00:47:20.180 not in?
00:47:21.680 What would be
00:47:22.580 the smarter way
00:47:23.320 to go?
00:47:24.600 Huh.
00:47:25.220 We don't
00:47:25.900 really know what
00:47:26.600 the future holds,
00:47:27.900 therefore, I'll be
00:47:29.120 positive.
00:47:29.600 If you're
00:47:31.840 positive that
00:47:32.500 you can
00:47:32.860 determine the
00:47:33.740 future, I
00:47:35.620 don't think
00:47:36.020 the problem's
00:47:36.600 on my end.
00:47:38.280 I will defend
00:47:39.380 my inability
00:47:40.160 to discern
00:47:41.780 the future.
00:47:42.860 But you
00:47:43.260 need to
00:47:43.680 defend your
00:47:44.260 ability to
00:47:44.900 discern the
00:47:45.440 future, because
00:47:46.480 I don't have
00:47:46.940 that.
00:47:48.540 So Carrie
00:47:49.360 Lake's lawsuits,
00:47:50.500 I guess two
00:47:51.060 of her ten
00:47:51.660 claims are
00:47:52.380 going to go
00:47:52.720 forward.
00:47:53.720 One of them
00:47:54.440 involving the
00:47:55.420 printer's
00:47:56.660 malfunctioning on
00:47:57.540 election day,
00:47:58.060 and the other
00:47:58.340 involving the
00:47:59.260 chain of
00:48:00.260 custody for
00:48:00.860 some of the
00:48:01.300 ballots.
00:48:02.700 But do you
00:48:04.060 have any
00:48:04.460 hope that
00:48:04.920 that will
00:48:05.380 change anything?
00:48:09.320 I feel like
00:48:10.420 all of these
00:48:11.220 complaints of
00:48:12.300 corruption,
00:48:13.920 they get
00:48:14.780 slathered on
00:48:16.800 the bureaucracy,
00:48:18.160 and then the
00:48:19.000 bureaucracy just
00:48:19.880 squirms around
00:48:20.640 for a while,
00:48:21.760 and then
00:48:22.120 nothing happens.
00:48:24.360 Like, I
00:48:24.720 feel like
00:48:25.260 the court is
00:48:27.760 where everything
00:48:28.720 goes to
00:48:29.220 die.
00:48:30.860 Well, if
00:48:31.360 you want
00:48:31.660 nothing to
00:48:32.060 happen,
00:48:32.840 take it to
00:48:33.320 court.
00:48:34.380 You'll get a
00:48:35.580 nothing there.
00:48:37.280 So I don't
00:48:38.480 think anything's
00:48:39.120 going to happen
00:48:39.620 from these.
00:48:41.100 Like, I'm
00:48:41.760 glad she's
00:48:42.600 pressing the
00:48:43.480 case, because
00:48:44.640 wouldn't you
00:48:45.060 like to know
00:48:45.540 more?
00:48:46.040 Of course you
00:48:46.640 would.
00:48:47.100 I'd like to
00:48:47.560 know more
00:48:47.840 about this
00:48:48.220 situation.
00:48:48.880 If a lawsuit's
00:48:49.560 the only way
00:48:50.000 we can get
00:48:50.500 to the next
00:48:51.820 level of
00:48:52.500 understanding,
00:48:53.200 then I'm
00:48:53.460 all for it.
00:48:53.960 But I
00:48:54.460 wouldn't be
00:48:55.240 optimistic.
00:49:00.700 Not at
00:49:01.380 all.
00:49:02.700 All right.
00:49:03.460 Ladies and
00:49:04.020 gentlemen, I
00:49:06.280 believe we've
00:49:06.820 covered all
00:49:08.420 the news that's
00:49:09.180 fit to sip.
00:49:11.380 That should be
00:49:13.040 my new tagline.
00:49:14.740 All the news
00:49:15.480 that's fit to
00:49:16.440 sip.
00:49:17.240 And I think
00:49:17.720 that we need
00:49:18.200 another sip.
00:49:18.940 because as
00:49:21.900 this 2022
00:49:23.060 comes to a
00:49:24.120 close, I
00:49:26.040 feel like we're
00:49:26.660 going to have
00:49:26.900 to spend
00:49:28.000 some days on
00:49:28.800 some, let's
00:49:30.680 say, aggressive
00:49:31.540 positivity.
00:49:33.280 What do you
00:49:33.920 think?
00:49:34.620 I think I'm
00:49:35.520 going to start
00:49:36.400 bending my
00:49:37.700 presentation toward
00:49:39.000 gratitude.
00:49:41.160 Just so we
00:49:41.960 can get a
00:49:42.300 little dose
00:49:42.820 of Christmas
00:49:44.700 spirit, a
00:49:46.760 little bit of
00:49:47.500 appreciating each
00:49:48.820 other maybe.
00:49:50.420 Maybe a
00:49:51.140 little less of
00:49:51.620 the bad.
00:49:52.980 And so I
00:49:54.480 will be
00:49:55.000 complimenting
00:49:55.820 people that
00:49:56.740 maybe I've
00:49:58.280 disagreed with
00:49:59.000 because I
00:49:59.900 think that's
00:50:00.260 good practice.
00:50:02.180 I will be
00:50:04.460 telling all of
00:50:05.080 you how much
00:50:05.580 I appreciate
00:50:06.040 you.
00:50:07.800 Now, well,
00:50:08.780 let me do
00:50:09.100 that now.
00:50:09.920 I mean, I'm
00:50:10.540 sure I've done
00:50:10.940 it before, but
00:50:11.460 you can't get
00:50:11.900 enough of it,
00:50:12.440 can you?
00:50:14.000 I think you
00:50:14.740 kept me alive.
00:50:16.500 I think you
00:50:17.140 just kept me
00:50:17.660 alive.
00:50:17.980 because I
00:50:18.680 had some
00:50:19.180 tough medical
00:50:21.000 stuff to go
00:50:21.580 through this
00:50:21.960 year, you
00:50:22.920 know, on
00:50:23.160 top of
00:50:23.680 personal stuff.
00:50:26.640 But, oh
00:50:27.460 my God, I
00:50:28.040 can't imagine
00:50:28.680 going through
00:50:29.100 this year
00:50:29.520 without this
00:50:31.000 experience.
00:50:32.800 So being
00:50:33.580 connected to
00:50:34.440 you in this
00:50:35.100 way is my
00:50:38.660 fuel.
00:50:40.920 And it
00:50:42.660 also gives me
00:50:43.260 something to
00:50:43.740 look forward
00:50:44.200 to.
00:50:44.480 when I
00:50:46.420 wake up in
00:50:46.960 the morning,
00:50:48.260 the first
00:50:49.240 thing I
00:50:49.560 think is,
00:50:50.140 oh boy, I
00:50:50.880 get to do
00:50:51.340 this.
00:50:53.020 I don't know,
00:50:53.780 I'm not sure
00:50:54.260 how other
00:50:54.760 podcasts feel
00:50:55.640 about what
00:50:56.100 they do.
00:50:58.540 Does Joe
00:50:59.800 Rogan think
00:51:00.380 it's work?
00:51:01.660 Or does he
00:51:02.380 just still love
00:51:03.100 it?
00:51:03.220 I hope he
00:51:03.580 loves it.
00:51:04.460 But I don't
00:51:04.920 think of this
00:51:05.360 as work.
00:51:06.680 Like, it
00:51:07.160 doesn't feel
00:51:07.600 even a little
00:51:08.280 bit workish.
00:51:08.980 And I
00:51:10.000 put more
00:51:10.580 energy into
00:51:11.160 this than
00:51:11.600 anything else
00:51:12.200 I do.
00:51:13.120 And none
00:51:13.640 of it feels
00:51:14.060 like work.
00:51:15.060 And it's
00:51:15.400 because of
00:51:17.000 the interaction.
00:51:17.960 It's because
00:51:18.300 it feels like
00:51:19.420 something important.
00:51:20.960 It feels
00:51:21.340 valuable.
00:51:22.500 It feels
00:51:23.000 like it's
00:51:23.300 helping.
00:51:24.720 And that
00:51:25.220 sort of
00:51:25.900 connects me
00:51:26.500 to my
00:51:28.540 most basic,
00:51:29.820 if you want
00:51:31.220 to say
00:51:31.460 evolutionary,
00:51:32.860 my basic
00:51:33.580 biological
00:51:34.300 need is
00:51:35.940 to be
00:51:36.260 useful.
00:51:36.600 And I
00:51:39.160 wish I
00:51:39.500 could turn
00:51:39.840 it off.
00:51:41.040 If I
00:51:41.580 could turn
00:51:41.960 it off and
00:51:42.440 not need
00:51:43.320 to be
00:51:43.620 useful,
00:51:44.620 I could
00:51:45.000 have a
00:51:45.720 pretty good
00:51:46.200 life.
00:51:47.260 Just go
00:51:47.820 spend my
00:51:48.300 money and
00:51:48.800 sit at the
00:51:49.740 beach or
00:51:50.080 something.
00:51:50.500 I hear
00:51:51.280 people like
00:51:51.800 that.
00:51:52.500 But that's
00:51:52.880 not for
00:51:53.180 me.
00:51:54.200 Like, I
00:51:54.560 just have
00:51:55.000 to be
00:51:55.320 useful or
00:51:56.620 my day
00:51:57.220 doesn't
00:51:57.500 work.
00:51:58.440 So that's
00:51:58.940 why I do
00:51:59.320 this.
00:52:00.720 And it's
00:52:01.040 fun.
00:52:05.000 Yeah, and
00:52:05.560 I do feel
00:52:06.020 like, I
00:52:06.460 do feel
00:52:06.880 like we've
00:52:07.480 formed some
00:52:08.560 kind of
00:52:09.060 mutual
00:52:09.560 responsibility
00:52:10.540 accidentally.
00:52:12.260 I mean,
00:52:13.380 it's certainly
00:52:13.800 voluntary.
00:52:15.260 You know,
00:52:15.460 nobody's making
00:52:16.080 you do
00:52:16.380 anything.
00:52:17.300 But I
00:52:18.600 feel like,
00:52:19.600 at least
00:52:19.880 based on the
00:52:20.440 comments people
00:52:21.080 say, that I've
00:52:22.020 helped some
00:52:22.400 people this
00:52:22.840 year.
00:52:24.000 And wow,
00:52:25.140 have you
00:52:25.340 helped me.
00:52:26.340 You have
00:52:26.700 helped me so
00:52:27.380 much.
00:52:28.500 I can't
00:52:28.860 even tell
00:52:30.260 you.
00:52:30.760 And let me
00:52:31.260 tell you what
00:52:31.660 that does.
00:52:32.780 Let me tell
00:52:33.120 you what that
00:52:33.480 does.
00:52:34.100 So as you
00:52:34.800 know, I just
00:52:35.480 finished a
00:52:36.020 book that
00:52:36.520 won't be
00:52:36.880 out until
00:52:37.240 September.
00:52:38.760 But that
00:52:41.000 book was
00:52:41.720 written primarily
00:52:42.600 for you.
00:52:44.640 Meaning that
00:52:45.540 my interaction
00:52:46.960 surfaced,
00:52:49.980 that the
00:52:50.460 reframes,
00:52:51.360 where I
00:52:51.620 reframe a
00:52:52.220 topic so
00:52:52.720 you just feel
00:52:53.140 better about
00:52:53.620 it or could
00:52:54.400 be more
00:52:54.720 effective,
00:52:55.480 that that
00:52:55.900 really made
00:52:56.360 a difference.
00:52:57.600 And so I
00:52:58.020 put a bunch
00:52:58.900 of them in a
00:52:59.380 book.
00:52:59.660 book and
00:53:00.480 am I
00:53:02.700 dying?
00:53:03.400 No, I'm
00:53:03.760 not dying.
00:53:05.020 I put a
00:53:05.720 bunch of
00:53:07.240 them in a
00:53:07.600 book and
00:53:08.320 mostly because
00:53:09.280 I thought you
00:53:09.860 would like
00:53:10.240 it.
00:53:10.960 Like it in
00:53:11.680 the sense
00:53:12.300 that it
00:53:12.500 would be
00:53:12.660 useful.
00:53:14.320 So, all
00:53:17.300 right.
00:53:19.600 You know,
00:53:20.200 it's also
00:53:20.540 weird.
00:53:21.760 I feel
00:53:22.420 myself getting
00:53:23.180 healthier and
00:53:24.600 stronger every
00:53:25.460 day.
00:53:25.700 and that's
00:53:27.260 not supposed
00:53:27.700 to happen at
00:53:28.200 my age,
00:53:29.400 right?
00:53:30.780 Like I
00:53:31.340 don't think
00:53:31.760 it's true
00:53:32.240 necessarily,
00:53:33.040 but I
00:53:33.880 have a great
00:53:34.600 feeling of
00:53:35.300 things improving.
00:53:39.720 Well, we
00:53:40.400 love you
00:53:40.760 too.
00:53:45.300 Some of
00:53:45.980 you are
00:53:46.260 praying for
00:53:46.780 me.
00:53:47.000 I appreciate
00:53:47.340 that.
00:53:51.260 Mike
00:53:51.700 Malice
00:53:52.040 recommends
00:53:52.460 self-publishing?
00:53:54.140 Yeah, it
00:53:55.280 depends where
00:53:55.880 you are in
00:53:56.640 the publishing
00:53:57.540 world.
00:53:59.360 If you're an
00:54:00.120 established
00:54:00.500 writer, it
00:54:01.920 probably makes
00:54:02.440 sense to use
00:54:03.000 a publisher.
00:54:04.160 If you're
00:54:05.260 successful, but
00:54:07.860 maybe not a
00:54:08.560 household name
00:54:09.220 yet, maybe
00:54:10.260 that's different.
00:54:15.700 Better all the
00:54:16.520 time, that's
00:54:17.080 right.
00:54:19.020 Well, thank
00:54:19.740 you.
00:54:19.960 You're saying
00:54:20.260 nice things.
00:54:21.780 Yeah, I'm not
00:54:22.400 taking any blood
00:54:23.080 pressure meds.
00:54:25.280 You know, I
00:54:26.840 have such
00:54:27.400 basic questions
00:54:28.500 about science
00:54:29.460 now.
00:54:31.880 I'm not even
00:54:32.800 sure that high
00:54:33.400 blood pressure is
00:54:34.180 bad for me.
00:54:35.960 Now, please
00:54:36.920 don't take any
00:54:37.720 medical advice
00:54:39.360 from me.
00:54:40.140 Don't take any
00:54:40.940 medical advice
00:54:41.620 from me.
00:54:42.300 I just have this
00:54:43.320 open question.
00:54:45.980 I've always
00:54:46.720 believed that I
00:54:47.480 run hot,
00:54:50.160 meaning that
00:54:51.120 when I sleep,
00:54:52.500 when I wake
00:54:53.200 up, I'm like
00:54:53.760 covered with
00:54:54.320 sweat, right?
00:54:55.940 And I just
00:54:57.720 feel I run
00:54:58.200 hot, like I'm
00:54:59.660 just overclocked.
00:55:01.080 I'm not sure
00:55:02.020 that high blood
00:55:02.660 pressure, for me
00:55:04.480 specifically,
00:55:06.700 predicts.
00:55:08.520 Now, that could
00:55:09.220 be the dumbest
00:55:10.000 thing anybody ever
00:55:10.800 said, and I'd be
00:55:11.720 open to correction.
00:55:13.900 If Dr. Drew
00:55:14.860 tells me tomorrow,
00:55:16.860 Scott, Scott,
00:55:17.540 Scott, the science
00:55:19.560 is unambiguous.
00:55:21.140 Above some level,
00:55:22.180 you're definitely
00:55:22.760 in trouble.
00:55:23.320 Now, if I hear
00:55:24.100 that, I will
00:55:25.220 modify my opinion.
00:55:27.200 But I don't
00:55:28.020 trust any of the
00:55:28.940 data anymore.
00:55:30.100 Like, none of it.
00:55:32.180 And I feel as
00:55:34.360 if I do
00:55:35.940 everything else
00:55:36.680 right, like I'm
00:55:38.860 not drinking, I'm
00:55:39.780 not smoking
00:55:40.300 tobacco, my diet
00:55:43.320 is pretty clean.
00:55:44.780 If I'm doing
00:55:45.280 everything else
00:55:46.120 right, is running
00:55:48.720 a little high on
00:55:49.620 blood pressure
00:55:51.560 going to give
00:55:51.960 me a stroke?
00:55:53.560 Like, can
00:55:54.100 anybody know
00:55:54.720 that?
00:55:55.740 Because I feel
00:55:56.620 like they don't
00:55:57.240 study me.
00:55:59.000 Am I right?
00:56:01.040 Like, they
00:56:01.640 didn't study me.
00:56:03.440 Any study they
00:56:04.220 do is going to
00:56:04.700 be like a big
00:56:05.240 group of people,
00:56:06.040 isn't it?
00:56:07.680 Am I right?
00:56:09.580 Now, I realize
00:56:11.060 this is, you
00:56:14.080 know, it's
00:56:14.440 absurd for
00:56:15.080 somebody with,
00:56:16.180 like me, with
00:56:16.880 no medical
00:56:17.480 training whatsoever,
00:56:18.360 to make that
00:56:20.140 kind of a
00:56:20.600 statement.
00:56:21.280 So again, do
00:56:22.760 not make any
00:56:23.660 medical changes
00:56:24.500 based on anything
00:56:25.180 you hear from
00:56:25.640 me.
00:56:26.640 You can take
00:56:27.500 your vitamin
00:56:28.120 D, I feel,
00:56:29.400 you know, I
00:56:30.120 feel if I tell
00:56:30.740 you to lose
00:56:32.320 weight and
00:56:32.840 exercise, I'm
00:56:33.560 on, you
00:56:34.180 know, safe
00:56:35.480 ground.
00:56:36.420 But when it
00:56:37.280 comes to what
00:56:37.760 meds you take,
00:56:38.680 do not listen
00:56:39.340 to me.
00:56:39.980 All right?
00:56:40.520 I'm just saying
00:56:41.340 I don't believe
00:56:42.400 the entire
00:56:43.000 structure.
00:56:44.700 And then when
00:56:45.200 I look at the
00:56:45.900 trade-off, like
00:56:48.040 if the only
00:56:48.560 way I could
00:56:49.040 lower my
00:56:49.700 blood pressure,
00:56:51.620 if it makes
00:56:52.180 a difference,
00:56:52.840 if the only
00:56:53.280 way I could
00:56:53.700 do it was
00:56:54.180 with these
00:56:54.640 meds that
00:56:55.840 totally destroyed
00:56:57.520 my quality of
00:56:58.460 life.
00:56:59.400 Now, I don't
00:56:59.740 know, maybe
00:57:00.100 there's some
00:57:00.440 other med that
00:57:00.980 doesn't, who
00:57:01.580 knows, but I
00:57:02.520 doubt it.
00:57:04.000 I kind of doubt
00:57:04.840 that lowering my
00:57:05.680 blood pressure,
00:57:06.680 no matter what
00:57:07.400 drug I use, I
00:57:09.220 doubt that's
00:57:09.860 good for me.
00:57:12.260 I could be
00:57:13.060 wrong.
00:57:13.980 I'm totally
00:57:14.880 open to being
00:57:15.460 wrong.
00:57:15.820 somebody says
00:57:17.920 it's narcissistic.
00:57:19.060 Is it?
00:57:21.060 Is it
00:57:21.660 narcissistic to
00:57:22.560 say I don't
00:57:22.980 trust medical
00:57:24.160 science within
00:57:25.840 the context of
00:57:26.860 knowing it's
00:57:27.360 been lying to
00:57:27.860 us?
00:57:28.920 It's not like
00:57:29.560 I'm guessing
00:57:30.660 that sometimes
00:57:31.760 they give us
00:57:33.200 bad information.
00:57:35.060 And that's
00:57:35.420 the most
00:57:35.960 established fact
00:57:36.800 you could ever
00:57:37.280 establish.
00:57:37.660 Oh, here's
00:57:44.160 one.
00:57:44.960 Jillian says,
00:57:45.860 really, Scott,
00:57:46.900 regulations would
00:57:47.900 allow houses to
00:57:48.720 be built 150
00:57:49.740 times faster?
00:57:51.860 I can't tell if
00:57:52.740 you're joking.
00:57:54.020 You're not
00:57:54.320 imagining that I
00:57:56.880 think that,
00:57:57.380 right?
00:57:57.540 Right.
00:57:57.620 All right.
00:58:07.260 He's joking.
00:58:09.280 Maybe.
00:58:11.560 Yeah, doctors
00:58:12.180 encouraged smoking
00:58:13.040 at one time,
00:58:13.820 right?
00:58:18.900 Ashley says,
00:58:20.220 when will I
00:58:20.820 release my
00:58:21.400 full power and
00:58:22.400 save the
00:58:22.820 country?
00:58:23.880 Does the
00:58:24.580 country need
00:58:25.060 save it?
00:58:25.500 No.
00:58:27.620 I don't
00:58:28.000 know.
00:58:28.260 I think
00:58:28.460 the country
00:58:28.860 is doing
00:58:29.180 okay.
00:58:32.680 You know,
00:58:33.260 you'd have to
00:58:33.820 be more
00:58:34.180 specific.
00:58:35.720 What is it
00:58:36.280 I'm saving?
00:58:38.600 Or let me
00:58:39.220 ask you this.
00:58:40.620 What is it
00:58:41.300 that I've
00:58:42.580 been persuading
00:58:43.780 that you
00:58:44.280 don't think
00:58:44.720 is going
00:58:45.040 to go my
00:58:45.460 way?
00:58:46.540 So you
00:58:47.040 see me
00:58:47.380 persuading
00:58:48.000 on TikTok.
00:58:49.480 Do you
00:58:49.720 think I'm
00:58:50.040 not going
00:58:50.360 to get
00:58:50.560 my way?
00:58:52.180 Oh, that's
00:58:52.860 going to
00:58:53.040 get banned.
00:58:54.040 It's going
00:58:54.380 to take way
00:58:54.780 longer than
00:58:55.420 I want it
00:58:55.960 to, but
00:58:56.420 TikTok's
00:58:57.520 going to
00:58:57.660 get banned.
00:58:59.720 ESG,
00:59:00.780 already
00:59:01.320 dead man
00:59:02.300 walking.
00:59:04.740 Fentanyl,
00:59:06.000 you don't
00:59:06.360 think we're
00:59:06.740 going to
00:59:06.960 attack the
00:59:07.820 cartels?
00:59:09.980 I mean,
00:59:10.540 nothing happens
00:59:11.100 instantly, but
00:59:11.880 you don't
00:59:12.120 think that's
00:59:12.520 going to
00:59:12.680 happen?
00:59:13.420 Of course
00:59:13.820 we are.
00:59:15.160 Yeah, of
00:59:15.720 course we
00:59:16.080 are.
00:59:17.120 What is it
00:59:17.880 that you
00:59:18.080 want me to
00:59:18.820 persuade that's
00:59:19.740 not going
00:59:20.040 to happen
00:59:20.280 anyway?
00:59:20.600 I mean,
00:59:23.060 I can
00:59:23.900 push
00:59:24.240 things.
00:59:26.180 I think
00:59:26.720 there's a
00:59:28.240 good chance
00:59:28.820 that a
00:59:29.980 Republican
00:59:30.460 president,
00:59:31.120 whoever it
00:59:31.500 is, is
00:59:31.860 just going
00:59:32.220 to fire
00:59:33.360 everybody at
00:59:33.980 the top
00:59:34.340 of all
00:59:34.660 those
00:59:34.860 organizations.
00:59:37.140 DeSantis
00:59:37.500 would,
00:59:38.940 wouldn't
00:59:39.240 he?
00:59:40.600 You know,
00:59:41.840 I think it's
00:59:42.620 somewhat unlikely,
00:59:43.680 but if DeSantis
00:59:44.300 became the
00:59:44.920 candidate,
00:59:45.740 I think he
00:59:46.760 could tell
00:59:47.120 you he
00:59:47.420 was going
00:59:47.680 to fire
00:59:48.700 everybody in
00:59:49.340 those jobs,
00:59:50.280 and you'd
00:59:51.120 believe it.
00:59:51.940 He probably
00:59:52.300 would.
00:59:57.740 Anti-inflammation.
01:00:03.340 Oh,
01:00:04.000 pronouns?
01:00:05.740 So,
01:00:06.680 here's how
01:00:08.020 you should
01:00:08.340 deal with
01:00:08.660 the pronouns
01:00:09.200 part.
01:00:10.740 Obama gave
01:00:11.620 you the
01:00:11.960 formula,
01:00:13.580 and because
01:00:14.380 you don't
01:00:14.800 like Obama,
01:00:15.840 you won't
01:00:16.300 take his
01:00:16.700 advice,
01:00:17.220 right?
01:00:18.540 Obama
01:00:18.940 basically
01:00:19.420 says,
01:00:20.540 it's fine
01:00:21.060 to ask
01:00:22.140 us to
01:00:22.620 use your
01:00:23.020 pronouns,
01:00:24.340 but don't
01:00:24.960 get mad
01:00:25.320 if we
01:00:25.620 don't.
01:00:27.200 I mean,
01:00:27.540 that's a
01:00:28.520 little bit
01:00:28.840 of an
01:00:29.100 oversimplification,
01:00:30.380 but that's
01:00:30.640 pretty close,
01:00:31.200 right?
01:00:31.600 He's basically
01:00:32.220 saying it's
01:00:32.640 fine to
01:00:32.980 ask for
01:00:33.400 it,
01:00:34.120 but don't
01:00:34.960 get mad
01:00:35.340 at us
01:00:35.640 if we
01:00:35.920 get that
01:00:36.240 wrong.
01:00:37.520 That is
01:00:38.180 exactly the
01:00:38.900 right take.
01:00:40.120 You should
01:00:40.700 say you
01:00:41.040 can ask
01:00:41.380 for anything
01:00:41.700 you want,
01:00:43.620 and I'll
01:00:44.420 ask you
01:00:44.820 the same.
01:00:45.440 I'll ask
01:00:45.820 you not
01:00:46.620 to be
01:00:46.960 concerned,
01:00:47.440 if I
01:00:48.400 use it
01:00:48.700 wrong.
01:00:50.700 And they
01:00:51.500 demand,
01:00:52.160 right?
01:00:52.960 And then you
01:00:53.480 demand,
01:00:55.040 but you
01:00:55.660 should allow
01:00:56.020 their demand,
01:00:57.300 because they
01:00:58.060 have a right
01:00:58.420 to demand.
01:01:00.020 You don't
01:01:00.640 have to do
01:01:01.080 it.
01:01:01.980 You have a
01:01:02.600 right to demand
01:01:03.280 that they
01:01:03.900 not care.
01:01:05.820 See,
01:01:06.180 the high
01:01:06.820 ground,
01:01:07.900 the high
01:01:09.080 ground is
01:01:09.720 what Obama
01:01:11.800 found.
01:01:12.600 Obama
01:01:13.100 found the
01:01:13.540 high ground
01:01:13.980 the high
01:01:14.980 ground is
01:01:15.520 you can
01:01:16.080 ask for
01:01:16.380 anything you
01:01:16.720 want.
01:01:16.920 It's a
01:01:17.080 free
01:01:17.240 country.
01:01:19.280 Good.
01:01:19.680 Go ahead
01:01:19.920 and ask.
01:01:20.940 And then
01:01:21.180 when we
01:01:21.540 get it
01:01:21.820 wrong,
01:01:23.620 get over
01:01:24.200 it.
01:01:25.400 Just get
01:01:25.960 over it.
01:01:26.840 It's not
01:01:27.380 that important.
01:01:30.060 I think
01:01:30.640 that was
01:01:30.960 exactly the
01:01:31.580 right take.
01:01:33.480 If you
01:01:34.020 fight it,
01:01:34.500 you just
01:01:34.760 look like
01:01:35.160 you're a
01:01:35.440 bigot.
01:01:35.720 if you
01:01:37.660 tell them
01:01:38.220 don't
01:01:39.160 criticize me
01:01:39.940 if I
01:01:40.320 get some
01:01:41.020 words wrong,
01:01:41.800 then you've
01:01:42.480 turned them
01:01:42.900 into the
01:01:43.260 bigot.
01:01:45.040 You get
01:01:45.660 that?
01:01:46.960 The way
01:01:47.580 you're playing
01:01:48.080 it, you
01:01:48.360 turn yourself
01:01:48.940 into the
01:01:49.360 bigot,
01:01:50.160 because that's
01:01:50.640 just the way
01:01:51.100 they can
01:01:51.440 frame you.
01:01:52.500 The way
01:01:53.120 Obama
01:01:53.640 suggests you
01:01:54.740 play it
01:01:55.220 is to turn
01:01:56.400 those people
01:01:57.100 into the
01:01:57.480 bigot if
01:01:57.980 they have
01:01:58.220 a problem
01:01:58.560 with you,
01:01:59.560 because you
01:01:59.900 didn't have
01:02:00.260 a problem
01:02:00.620 with them.
01:02:02.520 If they
01:02:03.340 want to
01:02:03.660 ask,
01:02:04.660 go ahead.
01:02:05.720 I don't
01:02:06.260 have a
01:02:06.520 problem
01:02:06.700 with anybody
01:02:07.100 asking me
01:02:07.560 for anything.
01:02:09.280 But they
01:02:09.900 should also
01:02:10.320 not have a
01:02:10.800 problem with
01:02:11.180 you.
01:02:12.000 You're simply
01:02:12.500 asking them
01:02:12.960 not to be
01:02:13.400 bigots.
01:02:14.400 I'm not a
01:02:14.940 bigot.
01:02:16.340 You can do
01:02:17.120 what you
01:02:17.380 like.
01:02:19.640 But I
01:02:20.240 would like
01:02:20.600 the same
01:02:20.980 consideration.
01:02:22.340 That's all.
01:02:23.280 That is the
01:02:23.980 way to go.
01:02:25.200 That is the
01:02:25.680 way to go.
01:02:29.480 I saw
01:02:30.180 the following
01:02:31.500 argument from
01:02:32.460 Pierce Morgan,
01:02:34.700 who I
01:02:35.700 believe is
01:02:36.400 an illogical
01:02:37.280 argument.
01:02:39.240 He was
01:02:39.900 talking with
01:02:40.780 some pro-trans
01:02:42.900 person, I
01:02:43.620 think.
01:02:45.460 And he
01:02:48.060 was, no,
01:02:48.900 it wasn't
01:02:49.460 pro-trans,
01:02:50.080 it was pro-
01:02:50.680 identification.
01:02:52.160 So it was
01:02:52.480 somebody who
01:02:53.200 was arguing
01:02:53.740 that there are
01:02:54.560 lots of
01:02:54.920 genders and
01:02:55.640 people should
01:02:56.480 be able to
01:02:57.440 identify with
01:02:58.640 whatever gender
01:02:59.500 they like.
01:03:00.760 and then
01:03:03.680 Pierce had
01:03:04.580 apparently tried
01:03:05.260 to identify
01:03:05.820 as a
01:03:07.460 two-souled
01:03:09.240 penguin.
01:03:10.840 A two-souled
01:03:12.020 penguin.
01:03:13.060 And then they
01:03:13.560 said, hey,
01:03:14.000 that's no fair,
01:03:15.200 you can't
01:03:15.660 identify as a
01:03:16.420 penguin.
01:03:17.300 And then
01:03:17.820 Pierce said,
01:03:18.620 why not?
01:03:20.180 If
01:03:20.620 everything's
01:03:21.680 in the
01:03:24.180 conversation,
01:03:25.520 why can't I
01:03:26.200 identify as a
01:03:26.960 penguin?
01:03:27.120 And the
01:03:29.120 answer is,
01:03:30.520 that's not
01:03:30.960 logical.
01:03:32.500 No.
01:03:34.080 You don't
01:03:34.840 see a
01:03:35.140 difference there?
01:03:37.200 You don't
01:03:37.900 see a
01:03:38.200 difference.
01:03:40.460 You're
01:03:41.020 talking about
01:03:41.540 people who
01:03:42.120 actually believe
01:03:43.360 that they,
01:03:45.700 you know,
01:03:46.380 their
01:03:46.720 identification
01:03:47.280 versus someone
01:03:48.720 who doesn't.
01:03:50.380 Does that
01:03:50.720 seem the
01:03:51.060 same to
01:03:51.400 you?
01:03:52.720 Now,
01:03:53.360 certainly the
01:03:54.000 rules have to
01:03:54.640 be the same,
01:03:55.360 like the law
01:03:55.940 has to be the
01:03:56.520 same.
01:03:57.120 So,
01:03:57.660 if the
01:03:57.980 rules are
01:03:58.440 you can
01:03:58.760 identify as
01:03:59.460 anything to
01:04:00.640 get benefits,
01:04:02.080 then Pierce is
01:04:02.720 right.
01:04:03.700 If identifying
01:04:04.400 as a
01:04:04.900 penguin would
01:04:05.500 get you a
01:04:06.200 college degree,
01:04:07.680 absolutely.
01:04:09.020 I encourage
01:04:09.960 you to
01:04:10.420 identify as
01:04:11.060 penguins if
01:04:12.180 you can get
01:04:12.660 money for
01:04:13.180 doing it.
01:04:14.060 Of course.
01:04:15.320 I'm on your
01:04:15.860 side.
01:04:16.640 Be a
01:04:16.900 penguin,
01:04:17.680 if it
01:04:18.340 pays.
01:04:19.680 But I
01:04:20.540 don't think
01:04:20.880 that's the
01:04:21.220 same situation.
01:04:23.120 I do
01:04:23.620 believe that
01:04:24.280 you can
01:04:25.560 characterize
01:04:26.860 it as
01:04:27.820 a mental
01:04:28.820 defect if
01:04:29.480 you want.
01:04:30.620 That's not
01:04:31.320 my position.
01:04:32.940 But would
01:04:34.540 you disagree
01:04:35.140 that the
01:04:35.580 people with
01:04:36.220 these
01:04:36.460 identifications
01:04:37.260 is because
01:04:38.240 they're actually
01:04:38.740 trying to
01:04:39.240 identify themselves
01:04:40.320 in a way they're
01:04:40.920 comfortable with
01:04:41.600 that makes
01:04:42.320 sense.
01:04:43.320 That's
01:04:43.560 completely
01:04:43.980 different than
01:04:44.560 Pierce Morgan
01:04:45.120 being a
01:04:45.580 penguin.
01:04:47.080 That's such
01:04:48.120 a bad
01:04:48.440 argument for
01:04:48.980 Pierce.
01:04:49.260 And I'm
01:04:50.260 surprised that
01:04:50.880 he wasn't
01:04:51.220 called out
01:04:51.620 for it.
01:04:52.680 Because while
01:04:53.600 I think
01:04:55.060 the identifying
01:04:56.600 his stuff
01:04:57.120 probably went
01:04:58.340 too far,
01:04:59.780 but that's
01:05:01.620 not the
01:05:01.940 argument against
01:05:02.620 it.
01:05:05.880 It's a
01:05:06.600 learned
01:05:06.900 ideology.
01:05:08.820 Does that
01:05:09.620 change anything?
01:05:10.800 That doesn't
01:05:11.520 change my
01:05:11.980 point.
01:05:13.340 So I
01:05:13.840 think the
01:05:14.720 pushback
01:05:16.680 here is
01:05:17.700 that people
01:05:18.300 are not
01:05:18.680 necessarily
01:05:19.060 born feeling
01:05:20.080 these
01:05:20.560 confusions
01:05:21.280 or
01:05:21.600 identifications.
01:05:22.860 They may
01:05:23.220 be encouraged
01:05:24.540 into it by
01:05:25.160 the way
01:05:25.440 they're
01:05:26.500 socialized.
01:05:28.840 And that's
01:05:29.240 true.
01:05:29.880 But that
01:05:30.180 doesn't change
01:05:30.660 my point.
01:05:31.520 It doesn't
01:05:31.980 matter how
01:05:32.320 you got
01:05:32.640 there.
01:05:34.180 If you
01:05:35.120 got there
01:05:35.560 because
01:05:35.820 somebody
01:05:36.160 influenced
01:05:36.700 you,
01:05:37.420 or you
01:05:37.760 got there
01:05:38.240 because
01:05:38.780 you're
01:05:39.360 genetically
01:05:39.760 there,
01:05:40.140 you're
01:05:40.280 still there.
01:05:41.660 That's
01:05:42.100 what you
01:05:42.440 feel.
01:05:43.460 And in
01:05:43.740 a free
01:05:44.040 country,
01:05:44.720 should you
01:05:45.920 be able
01:05:46.700 to feel
01:05:47.680 like somebody
01:05:48.240 else's
01:05:48.600 gender and
01:05:49.940 then ask
01:05:51.340 people to
01:05:51.820 treat you
01:05:52.100 that way?
01:05:52.960 Sure.
01:05:54.080 Sure.
01:05:54.700 You can
01:05:55.360 ask.
01:05:56.260 But again,
01:05:57.380 your asking
01:05:58.000 does not
01:05:58.740 obligate me.
01:06:01.000 But asking
01:06:01.520 is fine.
01:06:03.160 I'd like to
01:06:03.920 know what
01:06:04.160 you think.
01:06:05.480 I mean,
01:06:05.860 if nothing
01:06:06.600 else, it
01:06:07.060 tells me what
01:06:07.580 you're thinking.
01:06:08.220 I like that.
01:06:09.600 So I'll
01:06:10.160 tell you what
01:06:10.500 I'm thinking.
01:06:11.100 I mean no
01:06:11.640 harm.
01:06:12.800 Sometimes I'll
01:06:13.420 get the
01:06:13.660 pronouns wrong.
01:06:15.280 Sometimes I
01:06:15.920 just won't
01:06:16.280 accept that
01:06:17.180 that's the
01:06:17.620 right thing
01:06:17.980 to say.
01:06:19.220 But I'm
01:06:19.780 not going
01:06:20.040 to take
01:06:20.300 any
01:06:20.500 criticism
01:06:20.960 about it.
01:06:23.080 Because I'm
01:06:23.660 going to let
01:06:23.940 you live
01:06:24.300 your life.
01:06:25.380 You're
01:06:25.660 going to do
01:06:25.960 the same
01:06:26.300 for me
01:06:26.700 whether you
01:06:27.040 like it
01:06:27.360 or not.
01:06:31.100 It's all
01:06:31.640 clownish
01:06:32.180 and embarrassing
01:06:33.000 behavior that
01:06:33.680 makes society
01:06:34.280 look stupid.
01:06:34.980 good.
01:06:37.980 Is that
01:06:38.540 important?
01:06:41.800 I see
01:06:42.760 your point.
01:06:44.540 I can see
01:06:45.180 why you
01:06:45.420 would see
01:06:45.700 it that
01:06:45.960 way.
01:06:46.960 But is
01:06:47.300 that
01:06:47.400 important?
01:06:49.380 Is it?
01:06:52.020 Because it's
01:06:52.620 not society.
01:06:53.500 It's just
01:06:53.900 individuals,
01:06:55.040 isn't it?
01:06:56.620 Do you
01:06:57.060 think it
01:06:57.360 makes
01:06:57.620 America
01:06:59.480 look bad?
01:07:00.580 maybe to
01:07:02.880 some people.
01:07:04.760 Yeah.
01:07:06.440 But has
01:07:07.280 America
01:07:07.680 looked bad
01:07:08.340 every time
01:07:08.860 it moved
01:07:10.140 toward
01:07:10.460 greater
01:07:11.040 acceptance
01:07:14.120 of people?
01:07:15.120 Did
01:07:15.440 America
01:07:15.780 look bad
01:07:16.460 when it
01:07:16.800 gave women
01:07:17.500 the vote?
01:07:19.020 Probably
01:07:19.580 to a lot
01:07:20.080 of countries.
01:07:21.380 Did it
01:07:21.660 look bad
01:07:22.160 when it
01:07:22.460 freed the
01:07:22.880 slaves?
01:07:24.400 Probably
01:07:24.960 to some
01:07:25.460 countries.
01:07:26.940 So I'm
01:07:27.220 not sure
01:07:27.500 we should
01:07:27.840 be running
01:07:28.220 things based
01:07:28.800 on what
01:07:29.120 looks bad
01:07:29.880 to
01:07:30.560 countries
01:07:30.980 we
01:07:31.240 wouldn't
01:07:31.520 want to
01:07:31.800 be.
01:07:33.160 Oh,
01:07:33.680 we'd hate
01:07:34.680 for Saudi
01:07:35.220 Arabia to
01:07:35.820 have a
01:07:36.100 bad opinion
01:07:36.600 of us,
01:07:37.120 so we
01:07:37.400 better be
01:07:38.900 Muslims.
01:07:40.320 Yeah,
01:07:40.520 other
01:07:40.780 countries'
01:07:41.440 opinions of
01:07:41.960 us have
01:07:43.240 to be
01:07:43.540 put in
01:07:43.900 a little
01:07:44.440 box.
01:07:46.660 We make
01:07:47.160 fun of
01:07:47.620 Trudeau all
01:07:48.420 day long.
01:07:48.940 Does it
01:07:49.140 matter to
01:07:49.520 him?
01:07:50.200 Probably
01:07:50.680 not.
01:07:55.800 Let's
01:07:56.280 see.
01:07:56.620 LB
01:07:56.960 acknowledges
01:07:58.720 sex
01:07:59.440 transition.
01:08:01.360 Don't
01:08:01.620 know what
01:08:01.820 the point
01:08:02.100 is.
01:08:04.240 Did I
01:08:04.720 see Tim
01:08:05.140 Cast last
01:08:06.680 night?
01:08:07.040 I did
01:08:07.300 not.
01:08:07.880 Was there
01:08:08.140 something on
01:08:08.620 Tim Cast
01:08:09.360 that you
01:08:10.500 wanted to
01:08:10.860 call out?
01:08:14.860 Watch Bannon
01:08:15.940 on Tim
01:08:16.620 Poole last
01:08:17.080 night.
01:08:17.360 It was
01:08:17.660 legendary.
01:08:18.840 What was
01:08:19.180 legendary about
01:08:19.880 it?
01:08:20.080 pushback?
01:08:27.980 Oh, yeah.
01:08:29.320 It's funny.
01:08:30.080 Tucker Carlson
01:08:30.920 is saying a
01:08:31.520 couple things
01:08:32.040 on television
01:08:32.640 that it's
01:08:34.240 amazing that
01:08:35.220 there's not
01:08:35.640 more pushback.
01:08:37.100 So he
01:08:39.960 flat out
01:08:40.460 says,
01:08:40.900 F you to
01:08:41.240 the deep
01:08:41.580 state.
01:08:44.720 Oh, you
01:08:45.320 abandoned us?
01:08:45.980 Bannon wore
01:08:53.580 a penguin
01:08:54.000 suit.
01:08:54.440 No, he
01:08:54.720 didn't.
01:08:58.280 What can
01:08:58.980 we do
01:08:59.500 about no
01:09:00.080 accountability?
01:09:02.560 How can
01:09:02.980 we accept
01:09:03.520 the government
01:09:04.380 accountability?
01:09:04.900 Well, you
01:09:12.740 know, the
01:09:13.420 changes at
01:09:15.300 Twitter might
01:09:15.820 be a big
01:09:16.260 part of it,
01:09:17.180 and maybe
01:09:17.640 some of the
01:09:18.080 changes at
01:09:18.820 CNN will
01:09:19.620 be a big
01:09:20.000 part of it.
01:09:22.840 So I do
01:09:23.660 think that
01:09:24.220 ultimately the
01:09:25.180 public can
01:09:26.040 turn the
01:09:26.740 battleship.
01:09:27.300 It's just
01:09:27.520 not fast.
01:09:31.080 Turds talk.
01:09:34.900 So Tucker
01:09:37.220 Carlson was
01:09:37.840 saying that
01:09:38.340 he knows
01:09:39.740 for sure
01:09:40.200 now from
01:09:40.800 his own
01:09:41.180 source that
01:09:41.680 he doesn't
01:09:41.980 tell us that
01:09:43.020 the CIA was
01:09:43.940 involved in
01:09:44.760 killing Kennedy.
01:09:46.700 So basically
01:09:47.320 Tucker Carlson
01:09:49.420 tells you that
01:09:51.280 as a newly
01:09:52.480 discovered fact
01:09:54.560 because he's
01:09:55.300 got a source.
01:09:56.000 But we don't
01:09:56.340 know who the
01:09:56.680 source is, so
01:09:57.380 keep that in
01:09:58.400 mind.
01:10:00.220 Then the
01:10:00.680 other thing
01:10:01.040 he said, he
01:10:01.540 just like
01:10:02.100 dropped it in
01:10:02.740 when he was
01:10:03.140 talking to a
01:10:04.160 guest.
01:10:04.900 He said
01:10:05.600 that he
01:10:05.900 knows that
01:10:06.380 members of
01:10:06.840 Congress are
01:10:07.380 being blackmailed.
01:10:09.700 And he
01:10:10.240 said it like
01:10:10.860 he totally
01:10:11.660 convinced me
01:10:12.260 that he
01:10:12.600 knows members
01:10:13.160 of Congress
01:10:13.640 are being
01:10:14.020 blackmailed.
01:10:15.840 Now by who?
01:10:17.160 I don't know.
01:10:18.280 But blackmailed.
01:10:23.580 The FBI says
01:10:24.800 Tucker is lying.
01:10:25.880 Of course they
01:10:26.380 do.
01:10:33.180 Right.
01:10:34.900 Jillian says
01:10:36.820 in all caps
01:10:38.000 wish Scott
01:10:39.100 would admit
01:10:39.660 he pushed
01:10:40.220 mandates and
01:10:41.080 vaccines,
01:10:41.780 et cetera.
01:10:42.660 Now, Jillian,
01:10:43.880 are you a
01:10:45.840 troll who's
01:10:46.540 just here
01:10:47.120 to make
01:10:48.600 trouble?
01:10:49.240 Are you
01:10:49.680 actually a
01:10:50.380 stupid cunt?
01:10:52.380 Because that
01:10:53.380 would be the
01:10:53.760 most stupid
01:10:54.320 cunt thing
01:10:54.880 anybody ever
01:10:55.700 said on this
01:10:56.400 live stream.
01:10:58.160 Like, are you
01:10:58.740 actually that
01:10:59.580 ignorant and
01:11:01.520 confused?
01:11:02.380 Well, it
01:11:04.140 doesn't matter.
01:11:04.620 We'll hide you
01:11:05.420 on this
01:11:05.700 channel.
01:11:06.540 You're hidden
01:11:06.900 now, Jillian.
01:11:07.920 Goodbye.
01:11:15.120 Yeah.
01:11:16.020 Who isn't?
01:11:21.300 Yeah.
01:11:22.320 Yeah.
01:11:23.180 You're right.
01:11:23.840 Saying that the
01:11:24.720 CIA was involved
01:11:26.320 is a very
01:11:28.260 generic word.
01:11:29.540 So it could
01:11:31.140 be that the
01:11:31.760 CIA is
01:11:32.660 involved in
01:11:34.440 everything you
01:11:35.160 don't like,
01:11:35.780 but not
01:11:36.100 necessarily in
01:11:36.840 a way that
01:11:37.340 is illegal
01:11:38.380 or unethical.
01:11:42.060 Scott
01:11:42.380 critically argues
01:11:43.380 both sides.
01:11:44.940 Well, I show
01:11:45.480 the costs and
01:11:46.060 the benefits.
01:11:46.860 It's amazing
01:11:47.420 how many people
01:11:48.240 believe that
01:11:50.180 you should not
01:11:51.040 consider the
01:11:52.000 costs and the
01:11:52.740 benefits of
01:11:53.300 decisions.
01:11:54.480 Like, actually
01:11:55.260 believe that.
01:11:55.880 Yeah.
01:11:55.940 Yeah.
01:11:55.980 Yeah.
01:11:56.020 Yeah.
01:11:56.080 Yeah.
01:11:59.540 We think
01:12:02.800 everybody's a
01:12:03.600 low-level
01:12:04.880 CIA.
01:12:05.860 You know, I was
01:12:06.580 watching Glenn
01:12:07.740 Grinwald tweeting
01:12:09.280 this morning,
01:12:10.180 and he brings up
01:12:11.200 AOC for her
01:12:13.160 non, let's say,
01:12:15.200 non-criticizing
01:12:16.180 of the CIA.
01:12:17.720 And he's
01:12:18.520 wondering why
01:12:19.280 AOC is not
01:12:20.820 criticizing the
01:12:21.760 CIA.
01:12:23.480 What does that
01:12:24.500 suggest?
01:12:26.100 Why is he
01:12:26.820 calling around
01:12:27.360 by name?
01:12:27.860 What does
01:12:29.660 that suggest?
01:12:34.200 I feel like
01:12:36.900 he's suggesting
01:12:37.600 AOC is a
01:12:38.580 CIA concoction.
01:12:42.180 What do you
01:12:43.000 think?
01:12:44.180 Is AOC a
01:12:47.620 CIA asset?
01:12:51.160 Do you think
01:12:52.080 that they
01:12:52.420 created her?
01:12:54.120 Like, is she
01:12:54.560 a creation?
01:12:55.600 Because she's
01:12:56.220 a media creation,
01:12:57.260 right?
01:12:57.860 And who
01:12:58.320 controls the
01:12:58.960 media?
01:13:00.240 The CIA.
01:13:02.240 So if somebody
01:13:03.160 is a media
01:13:03.820 creation for
01:13:04.680 the Democrats,
01:13:05.800 like a superstar
01:13:07.200 has been created
01:13:08.260 artificially,
01:13:09.360 who did that?
01:13:11.840 Do you think
01:13:12.280 CNN talked
01:13:13.240 to MSNBC,
01:13:14.740 then they
01:13:15.180 talked to
01:13:15.520 ABC,
01:13:16.500 they said,
01:13:17.240 hey, let's
01:13:18.100 get together
01:13:18.560 and push this
01:13:19.200 on our own?
01:13:22.560 Maybe.
01:13:23.760 Do you think
01:13:24.140 they all just
01:13:24.660 thought the same,
01:13:25.580 and that's why
01:13:25.940 it looks like
01:13:26.420 they coordinated?
01:13:27.980 Maybe.
01:13:28.320 Maybe the public
01:13:29.780 was interested,
01:13:30.580 so they just
01:13:31.060 followed the
01:13:31.540 public's interest?
01:13:32.620 Maybe.
01:13:33.880 But when was
01:13:34.840 the last time
01:13:35.380 Glenn Greenwald
01:13:36.080 was wrong about
01:13:37.000 who's coordinating
01:13:38.520 with the CIA?
01:13:41.320 So far,
01:13:42.280 not wrong.
01:13:44.280 So far,
01:13:45.400 not wrong.
01:13:47.240 Now,
01:13:47.600 he doesn't come
01:13:48.200 out and say it,
01:13:48.960 but the context
01:13:51.340 doesn't leave
01:13:52.360 much doubt.
01:13:57.840 Does it seem,
01:13:58.960 let me ask you
01:13:59.700 this,
01:13:59.940 does it seem
01:14:00.500 believable,
01:14:01.780 does it seem
01:14:03.520 believable that
01:14:04.320 AOC would be
01:14:05.120 a CIA
01:14:05.840 preferred
01:14:07.980 candidate or
01:14:09.000 they helped
01:14:09.640 her somehow?
01:14:10.540 Yeah,
01:14:10.840 totally.
01:14:11.880 Yeah,
01:14:12.160 that would be
01:14:12.960 easily within
01:14:13.920 the ordinary
01:14:14.740 line of business.
01:14:16.340 There would be
01:14:16.860 nothing even
01:14:17.480 unordinated about
01:14:18.300 that.
01:14:18.960 That would be
01:14:19.440 just typical
01:14:20.240 business,
01:14:20.880 sure.
01:14:21.920 And if
01:14:22.500 they're not,
01:14:23.360 if they're not
01:14:24.780 trying to
01:14:25.180 influence her,
01:14:25.980 why not?
01:14:27.160 She'd be the
01:14:27.700 obvious one you
01:14:28.340 would try to
01:14:28.740 influence,
01:14:29.280 because she
01:14:29.580 has influence.
01:14:30.660 You're not
01:14:31.100 going to influence
01:14:31.600 people who
01:14:32.000 have no
01:14:32.300 influence.
01:14:33.220 So,
01:14:33.340 yeah.
01:14:35.640 Do you think
01:14:36.520 she's ever met
01:14:37.200 with any
01:14:38.020 agents for
01:14:38.560 the CIA?
01:14:44.280 Do you think
01:14:45.020 they've ever
01:14:45.400 had lunch?
01:14:48.040 Think anybody?
01:14:48.960 associated with
01:14:49.820 the CIA has
01:14:50.500 ever asked
01:14:50.900 their lunch?
01:14:53.980 It's
01:14:54.460 Washington,
01:14:55.040 of course
01:14:55.380 they have.
01:15:02.700 Am I the
01:15:03.600 CIA?
01:15:04.200 Somebody
01:15:04.440 asks.
01:15:04.800 I don't
01:15:11.700 know.
01:15:12.040 I don't
01:15:14.300 know.
01:15:14.580 Is that a
01:15:16.380 scary answer?
01:15:18.760 It's an
01:15:19.400 honest answer.
01:15:20.040 I don't
01:15:20.240 know.
01:15:22.300 Yeah.
01:15:23.480 I can tell
01:15:24.340 you for sure
01:15:25.040 that the
01:15:26.700 CIA or
01:15:27.700 people associated
01:15:28.540 with it have
01:15:29.000 tried to
01:15:29.400 influence me,
01:15:30.160 but I'm
01:15:32.720 not aware
01:15:33.100 of anybody
01:15:33.520 on the
01:15:33.920 CIA payroll
01:15:34.940 who has
01:15:36.400 ever tried
01:15:36.860 to influence
01:15:37.340 me.
01:15:38.420 But don't
01:15:39.040 you think
01:15:39.360 they would?
01:15:40.960 If they're
01:15:41.460 not trying
01:15:41.820 to influence
01:15:42.280 me, what
01:15:42.740 the hell
01:15:42.980 are they
01:15:43.220 doing?
01:15:44.580 Because
01:15:44.820 anybody who
01:15:45.380 works for
01:15:45.700 the CIA
01:15:46.060 can see I
01:15:46.700 can move
01:15:47.040 the needle.
01:15:48.460 It wouldn't
01:15:50.060 take long
01:15:50.500 to figure
01:15:50.900 that out.
01:15:52.160 So,
01:15:53.440 if they're
01:15:54.460 not trying
01:15:54.860 to influence
01:15:55.380 me directly
01:15:56.160 or indirectly,
01:15:56.920 they're not
01:15:58.160 trying hard
01:15:59.100 enough.
01:15:59.580 Now, how
01:15:59.900 would they
01:16:00.160 do it?
01:16:01.540 Do you
01:16:01.800 know?
01:16:02.860 If they
01:16:03.460 were trying
01:16:03.820 to influence
01:16:04.380 me, and
01:16:05.500 let's say it
01:16:05.960 was happening
01:16:06.420 right now,
01:16:07.460 and I was
01:16:07.980 not aware
01:16:08.480 of it, how
01:16:08.840 would it
01:16:09.080 happen?
01:16:10.800 How would
01:16:11.140 it happen?
01:16:15.980 Bribe me?
01:16:16.900 No, if I
01:16:17.800 were not aware
01:16:18.480 of it, if they
01:16:19.860 were influencing
01:16:20.460 me without my
01:16:21.220 awareness, how
01:16:21.760 would it
01:16:21.960 happen?
01:16:26.920 They would
01:16:27.440 send a
01:16:28.080 fake friend.
01:16:29.620 Fake friend.
01:16:30.540 That's how
01:16:30.920 they do it.
01:16:32.200 Yeah, you
01:16:32.480 suddenly would
01:16:33.080 be befriended
01:16:34.040 by somebody
01:16:34.700 who's a
01:16:35.580 little too
01:16:35.960 anxious to
01:16:36.480 be your
01:16:36.720 friend.
01:16:38.400 That's how
01:16:38.920 they do it.
01:16:40.400 So, has
01:16:40.960 that happened
01:16:41.340 to me?
01:16:42.660 Has anybody
01:16:43.340 been a little
01:16:44.360 too anxious
01:16:44.860 to be my
01:16:45.400 friend, and
01:16:45.860 I couldn't
01:16:46.180 figure out
01:16:46.620 why?
01:16:48.320 Yes.
01:16:50.260 Yes, they
01:16:50.840 have.
01:16:52.480 Yes, they
01:16:53.060 have.
01:16:54.620 But do I
01:16:55.360 know that that's
01:16:56.040 part of an
01:16:56.500 op?
01:16:57.160 I don't.
01:16:58.560 No way to
01:16:59.060 know.
01:17:03.160 Yeah.
01:17:04.160 But I
01:17:04.700 assume that
01:17:05.380 the CIA would
01:17:06.680 be trying to
01:17:07.840 influence everybody
01:17:08.620 who is
01:17:09.480 themselves
01:17:10.820 influential.
01:17:12.420 Wouldn't you
01:17:12.880 say?
01:17:14.040 Don't you
01:17:14.360 think anybody
01:17:14.940 who could move
01:17:16.360 the needle,
01:17:17.040 they're looking
01:17:17.420 at and trying
01:17:18.400 to maybe get
01:17:19.760 a friend
01:17:21.200 inserted there,
01:17:22.120 you know what
01:17:22.400 I mean?
01:17:23.360 Friend of the
01:17:23.960 agency, get a
01:17:24.720 little close to
01:17:25.240 you, find out
01:17:25.960 what's going
01:17:26.320 on, maybe
01:17:27.340 put a little
01:17:27.740 something in
01:17:28.400 your ear.
01:17:32.600 What's the
01:17:33.180 CIA's aim?
01:17:34.460 To control
01:17:35.140 the narrative,
01:17:35.840 of course.
01:17:36.980 Now, not
01:17:38.280 to a specific
01:17:39.040 end, necessarily,
01:17:40.640 but always to
01:17:41.840 control it,
01:17:43.560 because it's
01:17:45.140 sort of their
01:17:45.520 job.
01:17:45.840 trolls are
01:17:52.240 used, and
01:17:53.560 the trolls
01:17:54.000 would be
01:17:54.520 doing what?
01:17:55.220 Trying to
01:17:55.740 discourage me
01:17:56.580 from saying
01:17:57.060 some things?
01:17:59.400 Did you also
01:18:00.160 see the story
01:18:00.740 about the
01:18:01.060 Twitter files,
01:18:02.040 that the
01:18:02.620 FBI kept
01:18:03.460 looking for
01:18:04.080 all the
01:18:04.760 foreign
01:18:05.120 interference in
01:18:05.920 the elections,
01:18:06.920 and Twitter
01:18:07.360 kept saying,
01:18:07.980 you know,
01:18:08.180 we're not
01:18:08.440 seeing much.
01:18:10.440 And the
01:18:11.020 FBI was like,
01:18:11.960 no, we're
01:18:12.800 all confused.
01:18:13.300 We know
01:18:13.900 there's got
01:18:14.280 to be a
01:18:14.560 lot of
01:18:14.780 foreign
01:18:15.000 influence
01:18:15.480 there.
01:18:16.320 And Twitter
01:18:16.700 kept saying,
01:18:17.200 yeah, you
01:18:17.540 know, we
01:18:18.660 looked, it
01:18:19.100 doesn't look
01:18:19.460 like there's
01:18:19.800 much.
01:18:21.220 And they
01:18:21.820 just were not
01:18:22.400 happy with
01:18:22.880 that.
01:18:25.320 Does the
01:18:25.920 CIA have
01:18:26.520 good or bad
01:18:27.140 goals?
01:18:27.480 It's probably
01:18:27.800 a mix.
01:18:28.760 Because there are
01:18:29.740 individuals in
01:18:30.560 the CIA, as
01:18:32.140 well as what
01:18:32.680 the CIA itself
01:18:33.700 wants.
01:18:34.340 And then there
01:18:34.700 are probably
01:18:34.940 departments within
01:18:35.820 the CIA who
01:18:36.720 want different
01:18:37.220 things than
01:18:37.800 other departments.
01:18:38.720 It's probably
01:18:39.120 never clear.
01:18:39.740 I mean, it's
01:18:41.500 entirely possible
01:18:42.720 that some
01:18:43.140 people have
01:18:43.740 the CIA
01:18:45.240 helping them
01:18:45.980 at the same
01:18:46.480 time the CIA,
01:18:48.040 a different
01:18:48.560 person, is
01:18:49.840 trying to
01:18:50.240 destroy them.
01:18:51.700 Like, that
01:18:52.100 wouldn't surprise
01:18:52.700 me.
01:18:53.060 It's probably
01:18:53.520 common.
01:18:59.240 Will America
01:19:00.080 self-correct the
01:19:01.040 corruption?
01:19:04.920 Yes, but
01:19:05.920 then it always
01:19:06.400 gets replaced
01:19:07.060 with new
01:19:07.420 corruption.
01:19:07.800 So, I
01:19:10.760 don't know.
01:19:14.960 Huh.
01:19:17.640 Somebody's
01:19:18.080 father was in
01:19:18.700 the CIA and
01:19:19.500 his cover
01:19:20.220 position was in
01:19:21.100 the Department
01:19:21.620 of Agriculture.
01:19:23.780 Okay.
01:19:24.660 All right.
01:19:25.080 I think that's
01:19:25.500 all I have for
01:19:26.020 now, YouTube.
01:19:26.780 I'm going to
01:19:27.120 go do something
01:19:27.960 else, and I
01:19:29.140 will talk to
01:19:29.600 you, YouTube
01:19:30.180 and Spotify
01:19:30.980 and Rumble
01:19:31.860 tomorrow.
01:19:32.800 Bye.
