Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1979 Scott Adams： UFC President Dana White Attacked By His Wife But Survives. More Like That

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization.

00:00:08.960 It gets better every time, and I know that seems impossible, but it does.

00:00:13.840 It's physics.

00:00:15.380 And if you'd like to take this up to the next level,

00:00:18.440 to be one of the first who has ever achieved this level of awesomeness,

00:00:22.960 well, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or jealous of stein,

00:00:26.640 a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:29.340 Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:33.620 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine

00:00:36.540 the other day thing that makes everything better.

00:00:38.740 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:00:47.540 Is there any way I could do the Simultaneous Sip in a wrap?

00:00:56.080 What would it sound like in a wrap?

00:00:59.340 A cup or mug or a glass?

00:01:01.620 Tank or...

00:01:02.460 No, can't do it.

00:01:03.980 Can't do it.

00:01:05.580 Apparently, I do not have the hip-hop gene.

00:01:08.940 I am...

00:01:10.340 soul-free.

00:01:13.120 All right.

00:01:15.580 Let's put that away.

00:01:16.480 We have so much news.

00:01:19.040 So there's more on the Twitter files, and Matt Taibbi, he summarized it this way on Tucker Carlson's show.

00:01:29.240 He said that Twitter took suggestions from a wide variety of government entities on who to ban and who to...

00:01:40.480 Well, basically who to ban.

00:01:41.460 Now, is that a censorship?

00:01:45.560 Apparently, it wasn't just the federal government.

00:01:48.540 It was like all kinds of agencies.

00:01:51.140 They all had access to Twitter one way or another.

00:01:53.840 And they all had given them lists.

00:01:56.520 Not all of them, but, you know, many different agencies, including local police, probably CIA.

00:02:03.060 Matt Taibbi speculates.

00:02:04.440 Now, here's the context.

00:02:10.140 Lots of different entities suggested censorship for certain accounts.

00:02:16.660 But did any of them demand it?

00:02:19.320 And does that matter?

00:02:21.600 My understanding is that nobody demanded it because there was no law that required it.

00:02:26.280 And also that Twitter was, in some cases, accepting very little of a large list.

00:02:34.180 So they might have, you know, they might have had a large list.

00:02:37.240 Please ban these people or look into them.

00:02:40.480 And Twitter would look into them and say, well, a few of these maybe, but mostly not.

00:02:47.060 Is that censorship?

00:02:48.080 Censorship.

00:02:48.280 To me, it just looks like a really bad system.

00:02:55.960 Yeah.

00:02:56.700 To me, it looks like a bad system.

00:02:58.380 It looks like something that transparency could fix.

00:03:03.060 And if transparency could fix it, I don't know if it's censorship.

00:03:06.840 Because here's what I'd like to know.

00:03:09.020 I'd like to know what did the government ask and who did they ask it about.

00:03:13.620 Well, if I only knew that, and then I saw what Twitter actually did, and then if I saw

00:03:20.220 that Twitter held to their standards, if Twitter just held to their own standards, but the government

00:03:28.080 was asking them for bans, but we could see them.

00:03:32.300 It's just transparent.

00:03:33.660 They say why they want a band, and then Twitter looks into it and makes a decision.

00:03:38.840 Would that be censorship?

00:03:40.740 Or would that just be your government helping private enterprise do what private enterprise

00:03:47.720 wanted to do anyway?

00:03:49.620 Because remember, if all they do, in my hypothetical, this is not what happened.

00:03:54.240 So I'm not claiming this is what happened.

00:03:56.560 I'm saying in a hypothetical.

00:03:59.040 If it were all transparent, and if Twitter only stayed to its own rules, I don't know.

00:04:06.760 I'm not entirely positive I'd have a problem with that.

00:04:10.740 I understand the argument, and I don't disagree with it.

00:04:15.400 I don't disagree at all if you define that as censorship.

00:04:20.860 It's pretty close.

00:04:22.320 Would you all agree it's sort of in the neighborhood?

00:04:25.020 So if you want to call that censorship, I'll give you that.

00:04:27.440 I will stipulate that.

00:04:29.480 But would it bother you?

00:04:31.520 Would it bother you if it were all transparent?

00:04:34.360 Would it bother you if it were all transparent?

00:04:36.360 It wouldn't.

00:04:38.340 Now, you realize that Twitter takes, it takes recommendations from everybody, doesn't it?

00:04:45.480 It'll take a recommendation from you, won't it?

00:04:49.080 It might ignore it, but.

00:04:51.000 Now, it could be that because the government has more, let's say, power,

00:04:56.360 they're more organized, they have a whole system for doing it,

00:04:59.100 but certainly the government would have more impact than any individual.

00:05:04.800 So that's a little censorship-y.

00:05:07.160 I'm not sure that I care that much, though.

00:05:10.100 I'm not sure that I care.

00:05:11.960 Because the public is not powerless.

00:05:15.100 They are just sometimes information-free.

00:05:19.140 When you arm the public with actual information, that's reliable.

00:05:23.220 That's the problem.

00:05:24.460 Lots of times their information is bad.

00:05:26.620 But if the government, if the people had actual good information,

00:05:30.500 they pretty much always get what they want.

00:05:33.280 It's the information problem that's the problem.

00:05:36.920 Yeah.

00:05:37.660 I don't know.

00:05:38.880 I think I can agree with you totally.

00:05:41.260 If you say, it's too close to government censorship, so don't take a chance.

00:05:47.820 That feels reasonable.

00:05:49.980 Do you accept that?

00:05:51.060 Do you accept that opinion?

00:05:53.120 It's a gray area, but you don't want a gray area.

00:05:56.160 How about that?

00:05:57.620 It's a little bit of a gray area, but I would say, how about no gray areas?

00:06:03.260 Everybody okay?

00:06:04.200 No gray areas when it comes to free speech.

00:06:07.420 Just get rid of all the gray.

00:06:08.480 That seems like a good standard, doesn't it?

00:06:12.700 So we'll see if that happens.

00:06:16.200 But on the other hand, the government also has freedom of speech, too.

00:06:20.500 Don't they?

00:06:22.320 Don't all the people in the government, and I guess it's just the people, right?

00:06:26.860 But the people in the government have freedom of speech.

00:06:30.200 So what would stop them from exercising it and talking to Twitter?

00:06:36.320 Yeah, nothing.

00:06:37.040 So basically, if Twitter doesn't stop it or do something, it'll just keep happening, right?

00:06:47.460 Let's talk about the Speaker of the House, and McCarthy's fighting to get those last votes if he can.

00:06:54.300 And ex-president Trump has endorsed McCarthy, and Matt Gaetz and his band of rogues is trying to stop it.

00:07:03.720 And so you know all that's happening, and they're still at a deadlock.

00:07:06.900 Here's my opinion on that.

00:07:08.680 I don't care who is Speaker of the House.

00:07:11.800 Because so far, nobody has a plan for fentanyl or for banning TikTok.

00:07:19.660 And without that, I don't really care who does it.

00:07:22.940 It's all just moving chairs if you're not going to do the work.

00:07:26.140 So I made my point a little bit more provocatively, a little bit more provocatively on Twitter, and I said this.

00:07:35.020 If Matt Gaetz, the one who's holding, you know, one of the ones who's holding up the whole business there,

00:07:42.160 if Matt Gaetz comes up with a reasonable-looking fentanyl plan and a TikTok ban,

00:07:51.300 I would back him for Speaker of the House.

00:07:56.700 But you didn't see that coming.

00:07:58.880 Yeah.

00:07:59.060 That's all it would take.

00:08:00.500 That's all it would take.

00:08:01.560 Now, do you have any other problems with Matt Gaetz?

00:08:03.740 Probably.

00:08:05.120 Probably.

00:08:06.260 But I wouldn't care.

00:08:08.120 Right?

00:08:08.560 Because in this hypothetical situation, you'd be the only one doing the work.

00:08:13.900 So if one of them wants to work, I would consider rewarding them with the speakership.

00:08:20.260 It obviously has nothing to do with me.

00:08:22.420 But if any of them does the work, I'd say maybe we should consider the person who actually works as their leader,

00:08:33.140 not the ones who are doing what?

00:08:35.400 I don't know, collecting money, doing speeches.

00:08:39.040 Do some work.

00:08:40.940 Put yourself out there.

00:08:42.520 Now, that's also what I like about Matt Gaetz lately.

00:08:46.460 So Matt Gaetz was pushed into a nothing-to-lose situation, you know,

00:08:50.140 by all the allegations he had to fight recently.

00:08:52.420 And also by the fact that he was so close to Trump, and Trump had a bad January 6th.

00:08:58.000 So Matt Gaetz is basically, you know, the up-and-comer who got totally smacked down.

00:09:05.020 Nothing to lose.

00:09:06.420 Nothing to lose.

00:09:07.880 So when you have nothing to lose, it really frees you up to do the things that need to be done

00:09:13.000 that other people wouldn't risk.

00:09:14.840 So if somebody could come up with a fentanyl plan and a TikTok ban plan, it would be somebody like him.

00:09:21.740 Somebody who didn't have anything to lose and was willing to, you know, take more of a long-shot approach to things.

00:09:29.080 Who is Ben Garrison?

00:09:33.440 It sounds like Sticks and Hammer was talking about idiot Ben Garrison.

00:09:37.940 So Ben Garrison is a low IQ, low character kind of a person who also draws cartoons.

00:09:47.120 So he's, I can't tell if he's dumb or just low character, but it's one of those things.

00:09:54.760 One of those things.

00:09:57.460 Anyway.

00:09:57.980 So we don't care about that.

00:10:03.620 Anyway, I was listening to a Twitter Spaces conversation by Mario Narwal.

00:10:11.460 Is that his name?

00:10:12.920 And I got to recommend it.

00:10:14.840 It is so entertaining.

00:10:16.460 I didn't think the Spaces thing would actually be anything I would ever spend much time with

00:10:23.080 because I've sampled lots of them.

00:10:24.860 And they're usually just the usual dumb people talking instead of tweeting.

00:10:31.660 And I just don't need that.

00:10:33.480 Like taking people who are already not saying anything useful on tweets

00:10:38.100 and then allowing them to speak in an audio setting doesn't really upgrade my situation.

00:10:45.320 But what did is Mario apparently has organized, you know, a, let's say, a sort of a business

00:10:54.820 within the technology that's really entertaining.

00:10:58.660 Like I couldn't, I couldn't stop listening.

00:11:00.840 I had other things to do and I just couldn't stop.

00:11:02.900 It was just too interesting.

00:11:03.620 But he was talking about, yeah, he was talking about the Andrew Tate situation.

00:11:14.320 So I listened to this conversation for, I don't know, maybe an hour or so.

00:11:17.840 And there's one really big thing, context-wise.

00:11:24.040 There's one really big thing that I tried to raise my hand to be a speaker,

00:11:31.420 but there were too many speakers or they weren't interested, I don't know.

00:11:34.780 But I didn't get to add my context.

00:11:36.800 So if there's anybody there who ends up being a speaker at some point,

00:11:40.080 here's a context that you need to know about the Romanian Andrew Tate accusations.

00:11:49.460 For famous people only, and he would be a famous person,

00:11:54.020 for famous people only, stories like this,

00:11:58.680 and I'll say like this where there's accusations and complexity

00:12:02.800 and it's a fog of war, right?

00:12:05.120 So for situations like this,

00:12:08.240 what percentage of the total things you hear are true and in the proper context?

00:12:14.260 What would you say?

00:12:15.780 What's your experience tell you?

00:12:18.080 Of all the things you've heard, what percent is true?

00:12:21.780 Yeah, 25% is my guess.

00:12:24.280 Yeah, 20, 25%.

00:12:25.740 That's right.

00:12:26.840 And so it was a very long conversation

00:12:30.020 with very smart, well-informed people

00:12:32.720 who I thought failed in a really big way

00:12:37.060 because they didn't acknowledge

00:12:39.200 or maybe often enough

00:12:41.260 that the quality of the information

00:12:44.600 is closer to 80% wrong

00:12:46.740 than 80% right.

00:12:49.420 And I think the sort of common,

00:12:51.100 this is me doing mind reading,

00:12:53.100 but I feel as if the

00:12:54.260 common feeling of the participants

00:12:56.520 is that there would be some surprises,

00:12:59.460 you know, maybe 20%.

00:13:00.600 But that 80% of the stuff they had a bead on.

00:13:04.820 For example, they know

00:13:05.960 that the prosecutors are holding Andrew Tate

00:13:10.000 for the purpose of looking into the allegations.

00:13:15.200 Do you think that's true?

00:13:16.940 It's the most basic part of the story

00:13:18.680 that the authorities are detaining Andrew Tate

00:13:22.500 while they're looking for the crime.

00:13:24.600 Well, I'm not even sure that's true.

00:13:28.340 It might be.

00:13:29.680 I mean, I'm not ruling it out.

00:13:31.220 But I would say I wouldn't even put credibility in that,

00:13:33.640 the most basic part of the story.

00:13:35.880 Because you know what the other possibilities are?

00:13:38.860 The other possibilities is

00:13:40.260 he's being held for his protection.

00:13:42.820 It could be that a member of the mafia

00:13:44.480 dropped the dime on him.

00:13:46.680 Right?

00:13:46.960 It could be that, you know,

00:13:51.440 the mafia, you know, was after him

00:13:55.000 and maybe his friends picked him up.

00:13:57.080 Because he'd bragged at one point

00:13:58.760 that he was bribing the local police.

00:14:01.180 If the local police knew the mafia was after him,

00:14:04.840 they might stage an intervention to protect him.

00:14:07.940 He could easily be in police protective custody

00:14:10.520 and they're all on the take.

00:14:12.920 Now, I'm not saying that's the case.

00:14:14.240 There's no evidence of that, right?

00:14:17.160 I'm just saying that in a case like this,

00:14:20.460 the reality is going to be so far

00:14:23.360 from whatever it is you think you know now,

00:14:26.740 it won't be recognizable.

00:14:29.140 It won't even be recognizable.

00:14:31.740 Now, one of the other debates

00:14:35.020 that I heard online

00:14:38.180 is somebody said that

00:14:40.360 most of what we know about

00:14:42.720 Andrew Tate's alleged crimes

00:14:44.940 are things that he admitted himself

00:14:48.020 on video.

00:14:50.140 He admitted them.

00:14:51.360 Clearly.

00:14:52.400 And then there was somebody else who said,

00:14:54.600 I talked to him personally

00:14:55.900 and he admitted these things to me personally.

00:14:58.980 He said this to me in person.

00:15:01.320 Is that persuasive?

00:15:03.340 Is it persuasive that somebody

00:15:05.440 quite believable

00:15:07.000 says he told me in person

00:15:09.220 and now I'm telling you?

00:15:10.220 And then,

00:15:12.720 yeah.

00:15:15.360 And then what about the stuff

00:15:16.620 he said in public?

00:15:17.600 Because we all heard that.

00:15:19.220 We don't have to wonder

00:15:20.160 if he said it.

00:15:20.760 It's on video.

00:15:22.100 What about that?

00:15:23.380 Is that persuasive?

00:15:26.020 Not even a little.

00:15:27.700 Not even a little.

00:15:29.160 Because the videos,

00:15:30.340 you can pretty much count

00:15:31.320 on being out of context, right?

00:15:33.520 Do you think any of those videos

00:15:34.760 are in context?

00:15:36.320 Of course not.

00:15:37.020 The thing that's happening

00:15:40.960 to Andrew Tate

00:15:41.680 is happening to me

00:15:42.700 on Twitter

00:15:43.180 every day.

00:15:44.700 Every day.

00:15:46.000 Literally,

00:15:46.700 just a moment ago,

00:15:47.980 I had to correct

00:15:49.340 some person

00:15:49.940 who had one of my tweets

00:15:51.160 out of context.

00:15:53.020 That's all it is.

00:15:53.900 It's just out of context stuff.

00:15:55.640 So there's nothing you know

00:15:57.120 about this Tate situation.

00:15:59.200 You don't know anything about it.

00:16:01.640 Nothing.

00:16:02.620 And that's the way

00:16:03.480 you should treat it.

00:16:04.200 You know,

00:16:05.180 could it turn out

00:16:06.040 that it's largely

00:16:07.380 like it was reported?

00:16:09.300 Maybe.

00:16:10.060 But the odds are low.

00:16:11.980 The odds are pretty low.

00:16:14.900 All the clot trolls

00:16:16.600 are over here.

00:16:17.960 I'm going to let

00:16:18.440 the clot trolls go

00:16:19.520 because you all

00:16:21.600 just look like idiots

00:16:22.460 at this point.

00:16:24.600 Cognitive dissonance examples.

00:16:27.280 Dingleberries

00:16:27.720 flying around my ass.

00:16:30.480 That sort of thing.

00:16:31.680 So go nuts today.

00:16:33.060 The clotters.

00:16:35.900 The clot idiots.

00:16:38.500 Clot idiots.

00:16:40.060 Make yourself known.

00:16:41.560 All right.

00:16:43.320 So of course,

00:16:44.340 this will be interpreted

00:16:45.220 as me supporting

00:16:46.180 Andrew Tate,

00:16:47.320 which is not happening

00:16:49.120 because I think

00:16:50.560 he's a bad person

00:16:51.940 just based on my own

00:16:54.280 personal interactions.

00:16:56.780 So my opinion is

00:16:58.900 I hate him.

00:17:00.700 But it is also true

00:17:02.720 that information

00:17:03.460 about anybody

00:17:04.240 who is a celebrity

00:17:04.940 is just terrible.

00:17:06.640 You shouldn't believe

00:17:07.500 any of it.

00:17:09.860 All right.

00:17:10.120 But let me say

00:17:10.740 that you shouldn't

00:17:12.160 put any credibility

00:17:13.060 in anything he said

00:17:13.880 in public.

00:17:15.140 He's literally somebody

00:17:16.720 who uses hyperbole

00:17:19.220 in public

00:17:19.700 for benefit.

00:17:21.680 You don't think

00:17:22.440 he uses hyperbole

00:17:23.400 in private?

00:17:23.840 Do you think

00:17:25.380 he only exaggerates

00:17:26.580 in public?

00:17:28.880 Maybe.

00:17:30.160 But I've got a feeling

00:17:31.280 that he brags

00:17:32.840 and exaggerates

00:17:33.640 to everybody

00:17:34.280 in private as well.

00:17:36.100 It feels like

00:17:37.000 that would be

00:17:37.600 a reasonable assumption.

00:17:39.800 So if you've got

00:17:40.540 somebody

00:17:40.900 who's primary...

00:17:43.940 Now correct me

00:17:44.500 if I'm wrong.

00:17:44.980 I think all

00:17:46.700 of the allegations

00:17:47.380 about him

00:17:48.380 are based on

00:17:50.900 what he said himself

00:17:53.020 which can't be trusted

00:17:54.260 at all

00:17:54.940 and what somebody

00:17:56.600 said he said

00:17:57.540 to somebody

00:17:58.120 which can't be trusted

00:17:59.680 at all.

00:18:02.240 I don't know.

00:18:03.420 We'll see what happens.

00:18:05.340 CNN announced

00:18:06.360 that he has hired

00:18:07.320 a new member,

00:18:09.780 a new senior

00:18:10.360 political commentator.

00:18:12.560 Huh.

00:18:12.840 Who would be

00:18:15.100 the worst

00:18:16.340 possible choice?

00:18:18.420 Let's say

00:18:19.080 I'm an executive

00:18:20.760 of CNN

00:18:21.340 and I want

00:18:22.440 to make sure

00:18:23.020 that if any

00:18:24.620 conservative

00:18:25.440 accidentally

00:18:26.920 was switching

00:18:27.900 through the channels

00:18:28.740 and saw this face

00:18:30.420 I'd want to make sure

00:18:31.700 that they never

00:18:32.420 wanted to watch

00:18:33.180 my show again.

00:18:35.800 Who would that be?

00:18:36.820 Who would it be

00:18:37.400 to guarantee

00:18:38.160 that you never

00:18:39.100 increased

00:18:39.820 the reach

00:18:41.220 of your show

00:18:42.200 because you

00:18:43.300 had insulted

00:18:44.040 conservatives

00:18:44.840 so badly

00:18:45.480 with your choice

00:18:46.820 of people?

00:18:47.180 Who would be

00:18:47.940 good for that?

00:18:50.860 Well,

00:18:51.400 they announced

00:18:51.860 that their new

00:18:52.440 CNN senior

00:18:53.600 political commentator

00:18:54.720 will be

00:18:55.520 Adam Kinzinger.

00:18:57.780 Adam Kinzinger.

00:19:00.700 No,

00:19:01.260 really.

00:19:02.020 I didn't make

00:19:02.540 that up.

00:19:04.740 No,

00:19:05.120 I swear

00:19:05.540 I didn't make it up.

00:19:06.560 That's real.

00:19:07.580 That's an actual

00:19:08.460 real thing

00:19:08.960 that's happening.

00:19:09.440 Now,

00:19:12.300 correct me

00:19:13.260 if I'm wrong.

00:19:15.040 He might be good

00:19:15.880 for their base,

00:19:16.960 you know,

00:19:17.200 the Democrats

00:19:18.160 who like to watch

00:19:18.960 CNN,

00:19:19.760 but do they have

00:19:20.640 no interest

00:19:21.440 whatsoever

00:19:21.980 in attracting

00:19:22.780 a Republican

00:19:24.120 for a few minutes?

00:19:26.540 Like,

00:19:26.780 no interest

00:19:27.260 at all.

00:19:28.780 Or,

00:19:29.420 let me ask you this,

00:19:30.780 do you think

00:19:31.220 CNN doesn't really

00:19:32.480 know what they

00:19:32.940 just did?

00:19:34.140 Because that's

00:19:34.780 possible,

00:19:35.300 isn't it?

00:19:35.620 It's very possible

00:19:37.300 that CNN has

00:19:38.060 no idea

00:19:38.640 how bad this is.

00:19:40.080 I can't think

00:19:41.220 of anything worse.

00:19:43.120 It absolutely

00:19:44.300 ends their chance

00:19:46.100 of having

00:19:46.480 a Republican

00:19:47.100 viewer.

00:19:48.640 Am I wrong?

00:19:50.240 I feel like

00:19:51.300 maybe they just

00:19:52.260 didn't know.

00:19:53.740 Because it's a little

00:19:54.720 off-brand

00:19:55.360 at the moment.

00:19:56.760 They've had a good

00:19:57.720 run under their

00:19:58.580 new leadership

00:19:59.200 of,

00:20:00.960 I think,

00:20:01.640 and I give them

00:20:02.240 quite a lot of

00:20:02.900 credit,

00:20:03.160 that I think

00:20:04.180 they've pivoted

00:20:05.480 closer to the

00:20:06.620 middle.

00:20:07.640 Not all the way

00:20:08.400 maybe,

00:20:08.980 but the movement

00:20:09.940 is worthy

00:20:10.660 of applause.

00:20:11.920 But this is

00:20:12.700 just such a

00:20:13.420 bad decision.

00:20:15.160 Now,

00:20:15.640 maybe I'm wrong.

00:20:16.880 Maybe he's

00:20:17.500 exactly what

00:20:18.220 makes you watch

00:20:18.840 because you

00:20:19.220 want to see

00:20:19.540 how horrible

00:20:20.040 it is.

00:20:20.500 I don't know.

00:20:21.700 But if you're

00:20:22.280 going to get

00:20:23.240 somebody from

00:20:23.880 the Republican

00:20:24.740 side,

00:20:25.840 don't get the

00:20:26.540 one who is

00:20:27.080 hated by

00:20:27.620 Republicans.

00:20:29.300 Shouldn't

00:20:29.660 you get at

00:20:30.080 least one

00:20:30.640 person that

00:20:31.900 a Republican

00:20:32.400 would say,

00:20:33.160 oh,

00:20:34.260 flipping through

00:20:34.860 the channels.

00:20:35.420 Let's see

00:20:35.860 what this

00:20:36.180 one says.

00:20:37.860 Just one?

00:20:39.080 Can't get one

00:20:39.720 Republican that

00:20:40.480 they would

00:20:40.720 actually want

00:20:41.180 to watch.

00:20:43.760 All right,

00:20:44.300 how many of

00:20:44.680 you are up

00:20:45.200 to date on

00:20:45.660 the Dana

00:20:46.080 White

00:20:46.480 situation?

00:20:49.220 President of

00:20:49.800 the UFC?

00:20:52.940 So he was

00:20:53.740 in Mexico

00:20:54.160 with his wife

00:20:54.840 partying at

00:20:55.480 some nightclub

00:20:56.220 and he's

00:20:57.040 caught on

00:20:57.720 video,

00:20:58.560 camera video.

00:20:59.180 It looked

00:21:00.860 like he

00:21:01.180 and his

00:21:01.460 wife were

00:21:02.020 both drunk

00:21:03.140 and they

00:21:05.340 had some

00:21:05.700 conversation

00:21:06.340 which generated

00:21:08.400 her slapping

00:21:09.400 him in the

00:21:09.860 face quite

00:21:10.980 hard and

00:21:12.560 him slapping

00:21:14.080 back, at

00:21:15.300 which point

00:21:15.780 they were

00:21:16.300 broken up.

00:21:17.220 now, how

00:21:18.580 does the

00:21:19.040 news cover

00:21:20.400 a story

00:21:21.000 about two

00:21:22.320 drunk married

00:21:23.040 people who

00:21:24.700 the woman

00:21:25.660 slaps the

00:21:26.780 man first,

00:21:27.520 it's very

00:21:27.840 clear, and

00:21:29.320 then he slaps

00:21:30.180 her back in

00:21:30.660 return immediately,

00:21:32.300 not with his

00:21:33.200 full power.

00:21:34.320 You can tell

00:21:34.920 he's holding

00:21:35.280 back,

00:21:35.760 obviously.

00:21:37.140 And then

00:21:38.180 afterwards,

00:21:39.220 both the

00:21:40.240 husband and

00:21:40.720 wife announce

00:21:42.920 that they've

00:21:43.400 apologized to

00:21:44.200 each other.

00:21:44.560 they've

00:21:45.420 apologized to

00:21:46.440 each other.

00:21:47.780 To each

00:21:48.200 other.

00:21:49.520 Mutual.

00:21:51.040 And they're

00:21:51.920 both okay with

00:21:52.660 it, they've

00:21:53.000 been married 26

00:21:53.780 years, alcohol

00:21:55.160 was involved,

00:21:55.920 they're both

00:21:56.200 sorry about it.

00:21:57.700 Is there

00:21:58.120 anything else

00:21:59.340 that the rest

00:22:01.000 of us need to

00:22:01.720 care about?

00:22:02.960 Is there

00:22:03.580 anything else

00:22:04.520 that we should

00:22:05.480 care about?

00:22:07.920 Oh, I love

00:22:08.680 this one.

00:22:11.260 I don't

00:22:11.900 think so.

00:22:13.400 To me, this

00:22:14.240 looks like a

00:22:14.960 totally private

00:22:16.020 situation.

00:22:18.000 But, we

00:22:19.460 have to talk

00:22:20.100 about how the

00:22:20.560 media covered

00:22:21.220 it, right?

00:22:22.300 So, I say

00:22:23.340 let them

00:22:23.800 alone.

00:22:25.180 Just let

00:22:25.620 them alone.

00:22:27.500 That's their

00:22:28.120 business.

00:22:29.180 But the way

00:22:29.920 we all are

00:22:30.680 treating it,

00:22:31.240 that's the

00:22:31.720 separate story,

00:22:32.500 so let's

00:22:32.860 talk about

00:22:33.280 that.

00:22:40.080 Here's how

00:22:40.740 Ian Miles

00:22:41.600 Chong tweeted

00:22:42.760 about the

00:22:43.260 story.

00:22:43.600 See if

00:22:44.160 you think

00:22:44.540 this sums

00:22:47.000 it up.

00:22:48.020 Dana White

00:22:48.520 has owned

00:22:49.140 up to

00:22:49.500 this and

00:22:50.980 apologized for

00:22:51.940 slapping his

00:22:52.560 wife and

00:22:53.760 says he

00:22:54.240 knows he

00:22:54.720 effed up.

00:22:56.000 Up to you

00:22:56.620 decide if he

00:22:57.320 should be

00:22:57.700 forgiven.

00:22:58.600 But there's

00:22:59.200 still some

00:22:59.660 folks out

00:23:00.120 there defending

00:23:00.780 it.

00:23:01.860 What?

00:23:02.680 Come on,

00:23:03.340 man.

00:23:03.940 Some people

00:23:04.500 will do

00:23:04.840 anything to

00:23:05.420 defend

00:23:05.720 disgusting

00:23:06.320 behavior.

00:23:06.840 are you

00:23:12.800 agreeing with

00:23:13.240 that?

00:23:14.320 Some of

00:23:14.780 you

00:23:14.980 agreeing with

00:23:15.780 that take?

00:23:19.220 Do you

00:23:19.900 see anything

00:23:20.420 missing?

00:23:21.980 Where's the

00:23:22.640 missing part

00:23:23.240 where she

00:23:23.740 apologized for

00:23:24.640 slapping him?

00:23:26.260 Because that's

00:23:26.880 also in the

00:23:27.560 news.

00:23:27.840 how did

00:23:35.880 TMZ

00:23:36.560 headline it?

00:23:37.760 Now, this

00:23:39.280 might surprise

00:23:39.860 you, but I

00:23:41.300 have a ton of

00:23:41.880 respect for

00:23:42.420 TMZ.

00:23:43.580 Have I ever

00:23:44.060 told you

00:23:44.360 that?

00:23:45.220 There was

00:23:45.800 once a nasty

00:23:46.560 rumor about

00:23:47.240 me on the

00:23:47.780 internet, and

00:23:48.840 it made the

00:23:49.480 press, and

00:23:50.620 the press

00:23:51.000 was reporting

00:23:52.440 the rumor as

00:23:53.120 if it were

00:23:53.440 true, and

00:23:53.980 of course it

00:23:54.680 wasn't.

00:23:56.280 Only one

00:23:57.560 press entity

00:23:58.920 contacted me

00:24:00.460 to ask is

00:24:01.480 the rumor

00:24:02.020 true.

00:24:02.760 Only one.

00:24:04.120 TMZ.

00:24:05.360 TMZ is the

00:24:06.240 only one who

00:24:07.240 fact-checked

00:24:07.740 it with me, and

00:24:09.180 then I

00:24:09.480 explained the

00:24:10.060 context, and

00:24:11.280 then TMZ

00:24:11.920 said this.

00:24:13.580 Oh, okay, no

00:24:14.640 story.

00:24:15.860 Because there

00:24:16.300 actually was no

00:24:17.060 story.

00:24:17.520 It was just

00:24:17.860 made-up shit.

00:24:19.460 Only TMZ

00:24:20.340 fact-checked

00:24:21.000 it, and for

00:24:22.120 the rest of

00:24:22.680 my life, I

00:24:24.160 will defend

00:24:24.680 TMZ.

00:24:26.240 Until they do

00:24:27.140 something

00:24:27.420 different, right?

00:24:28.420 If they do

00:24:28.820 something, you

00:24:29.600 know, horrible.

00:24:30.660 But until

00:24:31.620 that day, I

00:24:32.460 want every

00:24:33.100 single person

00:24:33.740 to know that

00:24:34.920 privately, without

00:24:36.660 bragging to

00:24:37.380 you, privately,

00:24:39.420 they acted

00:24:40.020 like exactly

00:24:41.660 how you'd

00:24:42.100 want them

00:24:42.420 to act.

00:24:43.520 So, you

00:24:45.240 know, Harvey,

00:24:46.440 Harvey Levin,

00:24:48.060 am I saying

00:24:48.520 his name

00:24:48.840 right?

00:24:49.400 Congratulations.

00:24:50.820 You've created

00:24:51.760 an ethical

00:24:52.760 group, or at

00:24:55.560 least the person

00:24:55.980 I talked to,

00:24:56.640 a producer.

00:24:57.620 So, good for

00:24:58.400 you.

00:24:59.340 I appreciate

00:25:00.260 that, and I

00:25:00.740 respect it.

00:25:02.000 Here's how TMZ

00:25:03.140 handled this story.

00:25:04.080 This is their

00:25:04.920 headline.

00:25:06.220 Nightclub fight

00:25:07.100 with wife on

00:25:07.940 New Year's

00:25:08.340 Eve.

00:25:10.000 How's that?

00:25:11.880 Nightclub fight

00:25:12.720 with wife.

00:25:13.420 That's a little

00:25:13.920 closer to what

00:25:14.600 happened, isn't

00:25:15.120 it?

00:25:16.040 I'm not sure it

00:25:16.740 was a fight

00:25:17.520 fight.

00:25:19.340 I would have

00:25:19.780 said they

00:25:21.300 slapped each

00:25:21.860 other, maybe.

00:25:23.560 You know, wife

00:25:24.360 slaps him, he

00:25:25.060 slaps back.

00:25:26.280 I think the

00:25:27.160 accurate way to

00:25:27.860 say it is

00:25:28.520 drunken wife

00:25:31.000 slaps him,

00:25:31.760 drunken husband

00:25:32.360 slaps back,

00:25:33.760 neither hurt.

00:25:35.700 I think that

00:25:36.200 would be the

00:25:36.520 way to

00:25:36.760 characterize it.

00:25:44.600 All right.

00:25:47.320 By the way,

00:25:48.140 on the

00:25:48.560 locals platform,

00:25:49.420 you can't

00:25:49.780 tell, but my

00:25:51.080 plan is totally

00:25:52.180 working over

00:25:52.860 here on

00:25:53.520 YouTube.

00:25:55.000 I have all

00:25:55.640 the Klopp

00:25:57.100 people and

00:25:57.840 Ben Garrison

00:25:58.500 supporters.

00:25:59.680 They're going

00:26:00.340 nuts trying to

00:26:01.140 interrupt the

00:26:01.860 program, but

00:26:03.660 you idiots

00:26:04.980 don't know

00:26:05.560 you're all

00:26:06.780 part of my

00:26:07.260 plan.

00:26:08.420 So the

00:26:08.760 more energy

00:26:09.340 you bring

00:26:09.800 me, and

00:26:10.260 the more

00:26:10.480 times you

00:26:10.860 mention

00:26:11.200 idiot Ben

00:26:12.140 Garrison,

00:26:12.860 that's what

00:26:13.660 I want.

00:26:15.600 I want you

00:26:16.640 to be saying

00:26:17.140 Claude Adams

00:26:17.840 and Ben

00:26:18.980 Garrison.

00:26:20.420 I want you

00:26:20.860 to say it

00:26:21.160 often, because

00:26:22.060 you're part of

00:26:22.540 my lawsuit

00:26:23.060 now.

00:26:24.320 Because the

00:26:24.920 lawsuit needs

00:26:26.560 to show that

00:26:27.180 there's damage,

00:26:28.780 and so this

00:26:29.460 is helping me.

00:26:30.060 So the

00:26:30.780 more you

00:26:31.360 say Claude

00:26:33.220 Adams, the

00:26:34.660 more of it I

00:26:35.220 can demonstrate.

00:26:37.000 So keep

00:26:37.880 going.

00:26:39.040 You're working

00:26:39.820 for me now.

00:26:41.480 All right,

00:26:42.120 here's something

00:26:42.940 that tweeter

00:26:43.540 Hyde von

00:26:44.640 Zarevich said.

00:26:46.800 Just somebody

00:26:47.860 on Twitter who

00:26:48.480 said something I

00:26:49.120 think is noteworthy.

00:26:50.620 And he talked

00:26:51.160 about the Dana

00:26:52.840 White thing, and

00:26:54.060 he said, the

00:26:54.720 latent

00:26:55.120 misandry, in

00:26:56.320 other words,

00:26:56.820 hatred of

00:26:58.220 men.

00:26:58.820 The latent

00:26:59.320 misandry on

00:27:00.180 display by the

00:27:00.960 majority of

00:27:01.480 people weighing

00:27:02.080 in on this is

00:27:02.820 just appalling.

00:27:04.440 He says, it's

00:27:05.320 misandry for

00:27:06.100 holding Dana to

00:27:07.300 a unilateral

00:27:08.160 obligation.

00:27:09.920 In other

00:27:10.200 words, saying

00:27:11.120 it's all his

00:27:11.560 fault.

00:27:12.220 And it's

00:27:12.700 misogynistic

00:27:13.620 because it

00:27:14.520 treats his

00:27:14.960 wife as if

00:27:16.180 she lacks

00:27:16.760 all agency.

00:27:19.040 Which is

00:27:19.760 exactly how I

00:27:20.600 see it.

00:27:21.380 It's

00:27:21.620 infantilizing the

00:27:22.600 wife.

00:27:22.880 it's like

00:27:24.860 she doesn't

00:27:25.540 have any

00:27:25.820 responsibility

00:27:26.400 for slapping

00:27:27.160 somebody in

00:27:27.660 public.

00:27:28.860 No

00:27:29.140 responsibility

00:27:29.860 for starting

00:27:30.700 a fight.

00:27:33.160 Now, let me

00:27:33.680 tell you that

00:27:34.320 their situation

00:27:36.440 is theirs.

00:27:37.800 But assuming

00:27:38.520 that the

00:27:38.920 reporting is

00:27:39.500 true, because

00:27:41.020 I think both

00:27:41.820 Dana and his

00:27:43.680 wife have the

00:27:44.400 same version,

00:27:46.320 which is they

00:27:47.740 both apologize

00:27:48.540 to each other.

00:27:50.620 Does that

00:27:51.280 sound good

00:27:51.660 enough?

00:27:53.880 Is something

00:27:54.560 missing there?

00:27:56.320 They both

00:27:56.800 apologize to

00:27:57.580 each other.

00:27:58.900 I feel like

00:27:59.260 there's a little

00:27:59.700 bit missing.

00:28:00.960 Because one of

00:28:01.580 them is

00:28:01.980 apologizing for

00:28:02.840 starting the

00:28:03.460 fight.

00:28:05.340 Yeah.

00:28:06.260 I didn't see

00:28:07.120 apologize for

00:28:07.980 starting the

00:28:08.540 fight.

00:28:10.240 That's what I

00:28:10.960 want to see.

00:28:11.800 Well, again,

00:28:12.680 it's not my

00:28:13.240 marriage, so I

00:28:15.360 don't need or

00:28:15.980 want anything out

00:28:16.860 of it.

00:28:17.420 Right?

00:28:17.680 It's their

00:28:18.280 business, and it

00:28:19.120 needs to stay

00:28:19.600 their business.

00:28:20.740 But I would

00:28:21.460 just point out

00:28:22.620 that I would

00:28:23.080 never respect

00:28:23.780 anybody who

00:28:25.320 didn't apologize

00:28:26.020 for starting

00:28:26.780 the fight.

00:28:27.820 I wouldn't

00:28:28.580 respect that.

00:28:29.680 But it's not

00:28:30.480 mine to respect,

00:28:31.420 right?

00:28:32.060 It's theirs.

00:28:33.260 So I'll let

00:28:33.700 them work it

00:28:34.080 out.

00:28:34.940 There's a new

00:28:35.400 study that says

00:28:36.120 ugly people are

00:28:37.300 more likely to

00:28:38.140 want to wear

00:28:38.600 masks in public.

00:28:40.820 Are you

00:28:41.420 surprised?

00:28:43.560 The less

00:28:44.360 attractive you

00:28:45.080 are, the more

00:28:47.000 happy you are to

00:28:47.680 hide your face.

00:28:48.920 Well, that's a

00:28:49.680 surprise.

00:28:51.140 Now, do you

00:28:53.960 see any problem

00:28:54.680 with the study

00:28:55.400 right off the

00:28:56.820 bat, without

00:28:58.300 knowing anything

00:28:59.360 else about this

00:29:00.080 study, just that

00:29:01.540 it seems to

00:29:02.300 indicate ugly

00:29:02.940 people are more

00:29:03.800 likely to mask?

00:29:05.400 Is there anything

00:29:06.180 else about that?

00:29:09.220 All right, let me

00:29:10.000 give you a few

00:29:10.680 little problems.

00:29:12.300 Number one, do

00:29:14.100 you think ugly

00:29:14.720 people and attractive

00:29:15.580 people have the

00:29:16.200 same IQ?

00:29:18.960 Nope.

00:29:20.480 I doubt it.

00:29:22.060 I doubt it.

00:29:23.020 For the simple

00:29:23.680 reason that smart

00:29:24.820 people don't need

00:29:25.580 to develop their

00:29:26.220 minds.

00:29:27.340 There's not really

00:29:28.080 much benefit to

00:29:28.880 it.

00:29:29.740 And ugly people

00:29:30.620 like me, like at

00:29:32.440 the age of like

00:29:33.060 five, I looked in

00:29:33.980 the mirror and I

00:29:35.040 said, I'm not

00:29:36.540 going to focus on

00:29:37.240 my athletic ability.

00:29:39.540 True story.

00:29:41.540 Yeah, I've told

00:29:42.160 you that I plan

00:29:43.300 60 years in

00:29:44.200 advance.

00:29:44.580 That's not a

00:29:45.620 joke.

00:29:46.780 At age five, I

00:29:47.760 looked in the

00:29:48.220 mirror and I

00:29:49.240 said, all right,

00:29:50.200 basketball is not

00:29:51.080 your future.

00:29:52.380 You better work on

00:29:53.100 the schooling

00:29:53.600 stuff.

00:29:54.760 You better develop

00:29:56.080 a set of skills

00:29:57.660 because you're not

00:29:58.980 going to get by

00:29:59.460 in your looks.

00:30:00.680 I totally did

00:30:01.420 that.

00:30:02.400 So you don't

00:30:03.060 think that made

00:30:03.620 a difference in

00:30:04.360 my academic

00:30:05.120 performance?

00:30:06.040 Of course it

00:30:06.620 did.

00:30:07.140 I knew it was

00:30:07.880 survival.

00:30:09.100 For me, academics

00:30:09.900 was survival.

00:30:11.460 I didn't have a

00:30:12.360 fallback plan.

00:30:13.040 So I would

00:30:15.740 imagine, now

00:30:17.240 you're probably

00:30:18.540 thinking ahead and

00:30:19.500 that's no fair.

00:30:20.680 I'm not saying

00:30:21.420 that how smart

00:30:22.640 you are determines

00:30:24.220 whether you wear

00:30:24.900 a mask.

00:30:25.720 I'm saying that if

00:30:26.880 you haven't

00:30:27.580 controlled for

00:30:28.680 that, there's a

00:30:30.280 gigantic variable

00:30:31.220 that's not

00:30:31.960 controlled in the

00:30:32.680 study.

00:30:34.740 Now, how about

00:30:35.220 another one?

00:30:35.940 I bet you didn't

00:30:36.420 see this one

00:30:36.900 coming.

00:30:37.120 Do you think

00:30:38.720 that ugly people

00:30:39.960 and attractive

00:30:40.580 people are,

00:30:42.120 generally speaking,

00:30:43.380 are about equally

00:30:44.220 healthy overall

00:30:46.340 comorbidities?

00:30:47.800 People who are

00:30:48.840 unattractive versus

00:30:49.780 people who are

00:30:50.320 attractive.

00:30:50.800 Who has more

00:30:51.260 comorbidities?

00:30:53.200 Of course it's

00:30:54.220 ugly people.

00:30:55.440 Of course it is.

00:30:57.500 Of course it is.

00:30:59.500 You know, and

00:30:59.980 the reason that

00:31:01.100 people are

00:31:01.500 attractive is

00:31:03.060 because they're

00:31:03.580 symmetrical and

00:31:04.620 they give off a

00:31:05.320 healthy vibe.

00:31:06.640 It's the

00:31:07.220 healthiness that's

00:31:08.980 linked to the

00:31:09.480 attractiveness that's

00:31:10.500 hard to, you can't

00:31:11.380 separate them.

00:31:12.420 You know, nobody

00:31:12.840 looks hot when

00:31:13.680 they're in their

00:31:14.460 deathbed.

00:31:15.940 So you should

00:31:17.240 assume that the

00:31:17.960 people who know

00:31:18.660 they have less

00:31:19.380 health are more

00:31:20.080 likely to say,

00:31:21.600 well, I don't

00:31:22.060 know if masks

00:31:22.680 work or not,

00:31:23.440 but I'm going to

00:31:24.940 do whatever I can

00:31:26.120 because I'm

00:31:26.620 vulnerable.

00:31:28.180 Yeah.

00:31:29.540 And I'd like to

00:31:30.560 thank my mascots,

00:31:32.940 the Clotters.

00:31:34.460 So the Clotters,

00:31:36.400 if you have any

00:31:37.080 kind of an

00:31:37.660 organization I

00:31:38.600 could promote,

00:31:39.120 I'd like to

00:31:41.940 give you some

00:31:42.340 attention, you

00:31:43.360 should organize

00:31:44.100 into more of a

00:31:44.960 formal organization

00:31:46.180 than I could

00:31:46.700 retweet you.

00:31:47.720 You should start

00:31:48.680 your own website,

00:31:50.420 maybe get a

00:31:50.900 Twitter account.

00:31:52.360 Because I think

00:31:52.880 the Clotters are

00:31:53.640 going to be my,

00:31:54.580 they'll be my

00:31:57.380 little army,

00:31:59.460 my Clot army,

00:32:01.700 the Copers.

00:32:02.900 I'll call them

00:32:03.560 the Copers.

00:32:04.160 What do you

00:32:05.520 like better,

00:32:06.420 the Copers or

00:32:07.100 the Clotters

00:32:07.600 for my fan base

00:32:10.620 here?

00:32:12.140 Clotters or

00:32:12.920 Copers?

00:32:15.760 Oh, Clotters it

00:32:16.800 is.

00:32:17.840 All right, so

00:32:18.520 it is now

00:32:19.740 official.

00:32:21.300 My fan base,

00:32:22.700 now this is

00:32:23.500 well known,

00:32:24.560 right?

00:32:25.480 Aren't there

00:32:26.020 like famous

00:32:28.060 singers always

00:32:29.280 have a

00:32:30.600 clever name for

00:32:31.380 their groupies?

00:32:32.380 What's it

00:32:32.700 called?

00:32:32.900 Like what is

00:32:33.880 Taylor Swift?

00:32:36.920 There's a name

00:32:37.640 for her fans,

00:32:38.320 right?

00:32:38.500 Are they

00:32:38.780 Swifties or

00:32:39.620 something?

00:32:41.200 Can somebody

00:32:41.700 fact check me

00:32:42.360 on that?

00:32:43.520 The Beavers,

00:32:44.220 yeah, right.

00:32:44.780 The Beliebers,

00:32:46.560 Beliebers.

00:32:51.580 The Parrot

00:32:52.380 Heads, right?

00:32:54.120 The Parrot

00:32:54.720 Heads.

00:32:56.620 The Clot

00:32:57.380 Army or the

00:32:58.020 Clotters?

00:32:58.920 You want to

00:32:59.300 go with

00:32:59.560 Clot Army

00:33:00.200 or Clotters?

00:33:01.140 Clot Heads?

00:33:01.640 Clot Heads.

00:33:04.360 How about

00:33:04.740 Clot Tards?

00:33:07.460 No.

00:33:09.900 Clot Tards,

00:33:11.040 you're liking,

00:33:11.980 but that

00:33:12.240 sounds,

00:33:13.640 I don't think

00:33:14.100 that's good.

00:33:14.840 Clot Berts?

00:33:16.280 Clot Berts?

00:33:17.540 Clot Clan?

00:33:20.360 Clot Berts?

00:33:23.500 I think the

00:33:24.520 Clot Berts,

00:33:25.180 I like that.

00:33:25.840 because they

00:33:27.020 should be

00:33:27.480 associated

00:33:28.140 closely with

00:33:29.000 the cartoon

00:33:29.760 that they

00:33:30.120 think is

00:33:30.640 Garfield.

00:33:32.000 The Clot Berts.

00:33:33.800 I think the

00:33:34.560 Clot Berts is

00:33:35.240 the best

00:33:35.580 owned,

00:33:36.140 don't you?

00:33:37.760 Okay,

00:33:38.140 I'm going to,

00:33:38.680 the locals

00:33:39.160 platform is

00:33:40.000 very clear on

00:33:40.740 this.

00:33:41.440 You're now

00:33:42.000 the Clot Berts

00:33:42.880 and you are

00:33:44.040 welcome to the

00:33:44.700 show and I

00:33:46.120 hope that you're

00:33:46.620 very active

00:33:47.200 because every

00:33:48.320 Clot Bert on

00:33:49.060 here is

00:33:50.160 it's sort

00:33:51.980 of a,

00:33:52.860 I don't know,

00:33:53.420 it's sort

00:33:53.600 of a way

00:33:55.860 to honor me

00:33:56.440 in a weird

00:33:57.100 way.

00:33:57.920 It shows my

00:33:58.580 power and

00:33:59.140 reach and

00:34:01.420 so I think

00:34:02.600 showing my

00:34:03.160 power and

00:34:03.740 reach through

00:34:04.900 the number

00:34:05.320 of Clot Berts

00:34:06.060 is useful.

00:34:08.020 All right,

00:34:08.520 so the Clot Berts

00:34:09.460 are going crazy

00:34:10.260 on YouTube.

00:34:13.280 Clot Pool,

00:34:15.160 Clot Cats,

00:34:15.940 now Clot Berts,

00:34:17.140 we're going to

00:34:17.520 go with Clot Berts.

00:34:20.040 That's a

00:34:20.680 decision.

00:34:22.680 All right.

00:34:27.140 Adam Dopamine

00:34:28.380 on Twitter

00:34:29.000 asked this

00:34:29.600 provocative

00:34:30.060 question.

00:34:31.220 So you know

00:34:31.600 we're all

00:34:31.920 talking about

00:34:32.360 the myocarditis

00:34:33.680 increased risk

00:34:35.880 for young men.

00:34:37.460 You're all

00:34:37.960 aware of that,

00:34:38.520 right?

00:34:38.920 There's disagreement

00:34:39.760 about what's

00:34:40.540 behind it and

00:34:41.240 how bad it is

00:34:41.860 and all that,

00:34:42.320 but we all

00:34:43.080 agree there's

00:34:43.500 some kind of

00:34:43.920 elevated risk

00:34:44.740 in the data

00:34:45.300 for young men

00:34:46.720 and myocarditis.

00:34:49.060 And Adam

00:34:49.780 Dopamine

00:34:50.160 asked this

00:34:50.700 provocative

00:34:51.160 question.

00:34:52.680 Imagine if

00:34:53.400 myocarditis

00:34:54.240 impacted 18

00:34:55.300 to 30

00:34:55.800 year old

00:34:56.160 women.

00:34:58.480 Would it

00:34:59.240 look the

00:34:59.560 same?

00:35:01.040 Would the

00:35:01.800 vaccination

00:35:02.160 still be

00:35:02.960 recommended

00:35:03.460 for women

00:35:04.040 if we knew

00:35:05.540 that women

00:35:06.040 in particular

00:35:06.920 were having

00:35:08.820 more bad

00:35:10.140 outcomes than

00:35:10.900 other groups?

00:35:12.640 Nope.

00:35:13.480 Not a chance.

00:35:15.100 Not a chance.

00:35:15.840 No.

00:35:17.580 The news

00:35:19.220 is full

00:35:19.940 of evidence

00:35:20.680 that males

00:35:23.520 are just

00:35:26.340 sort of

00:35:27.080 not important.

00:35:29.460 So the

00:35:30.080 Dana White

00:35:30.900 situation is

00:35:32.480 a clear

00:35:32.940 example that

00:35:33.600 the women

00:35:33.960 count and

00:35:34.540 the men

00:35:34.820 don't.

00:35:36.800 Now keep

00:35:37.540 in mind,

00:35:38.100 he didn't

00:35:38.480 hit his

00:35:38.800 wife hard.

00:35:39.600 Not that

00:35:40.460 there's any

00:35:40.860 reason to

00:35:41.240 hit anybody.

00:35:42.020 So I'm

00:35:42.280 not promoting

00:35:42.800 hitting.

00:35:43.440 I'm just

00:35:43.940 saying that's

00:35:44.300 part of the

00:35:44.600 context.

00:35:45.020 There was

00:35:45.800 two people

00:35:46.280 who were

00:35:46.600 clearly not

00:35:47.200 trying to

00:35:47.580 hurt each

00:35:47.960 other.

00:35:49.320 So let me

00:35:49.900 say that

00:35:50.220 clearly.

00:35:51.240 It was a

00:35:51.820 fight, but

00:35:53.580 it's two

00:35:53.920 people, when

00:35:54.760 you see the

00:35:55.120 video, it's

00:35:55.540 pretty clear

00:35:56.100 they weren't

00:35:56.460 trying to

00:35:56.840 hurt each

00:35:57.440 other.

00:35:58.280 It was

00:35:58.620 sort of

00:35:59.060 wake each

00:36:00.400 other up,

00:36:01.240 be disrespectful

00:36:02.140 or something,

00:36:02.920 but it didn't

00:36:03.640 look like they

00:36:04.080 were trying to

00:36:04.440 hurt each

00:36:04.760 other at all.

00:36:05.500 And you

00:36:05.820 can tell.

00:36:06.860 You know the

00:36:07.420 difference between

00:36:08.020 somebody trying

00:36:08.580 to hurt

00:36:08.860 somebody.

00:36:10.560 Again, I'm

00:36:11.180 not endorsing

00:36:12.880 it.

00:36:13.140 I'm just

00:36:13.380 saying that's

00:36:13.920 the context.

00:36:15.020 I think this

00:36:15.840 is true.

00:36:16.540 I think if

00:36:17.040 women were the

00:36:17.680 ones having

00:36:18.560 the bad

00:36:18.960 outcomes, and

00:36:21.760 I'm not sure

00:36:22.220 that that's

00:36:22.640 wrong, because

00:36:24.260 the 18 to 30

00:36:25.380 year old women

00:36:25.920 would be the

00:36:26.940 only people who

00:36:28.120 can have

00:36:28.360 babies, right?

00:36:29.380 So from a

00:36:30.300 biological

00:36:30.780 perspective, they

00:36:31.760 are in fact

00:36:32.280 more valuable.

00:36:33.940 Would you

00:36:34.480 agree?

00:36:34.700 from a social

00:36:36.940 perspective, it's

00:36:39.040 better that we

00:36:39.720 try to treat

00:36:40.560 each other with

00:36:41.600 equal reverence.

00:36:43.320 From a

00:36:43.760 biological

00:36:44.200 perspective, young

00:36:45.600 fertile women

00:36:46.920 are the most

00:36:47.580 valuable humans,

00:36:48.960 because they're the

00:36:49.400 only ones who

00:36:49.880 can make more

00:36:50.360 humans.

00:36:51.240 So it does

00:36:51.760 make sense that

00:36:53.360 a risk to that

00:36:54.240 group we would

00:36:54.920 treat as a

00:36:55.380 higher risk.

00:36:56.400 That actually

00:36:57.020 makes sense.

00:36:58.440 It's just more

00:37:00.100 evidence of how

00:37:01.960 we rank people,

00:37:03.020 right?

00:37:04.120 All right, here's

00:37:04.720 another one.

00:37:08.760 The trans

00:37:09.580 question.

00:37:11.460 You are aware

00:37:12.520 that I have

00:37:13.080 largely ignored

00:37:14.240 the trans

00:37:15.740 question.

00:37:16.480 I talked a

00:37:16.960 little bit about

00:37:17.480 the sports, but

00:37:18.640 that's because I

00:37:19.120 think sports are

00:37:19.780 broken, not the

00:37:20.400 trans.

00:37:23.060 But I'm going to

00:37:23.820 weigh into it.

00:37:25.080 I'm going to weigh

00:37:25.620 into it for the

00:37:26.240 first time.

00:37:27.560 And I'm talking

00:37:28.060 specifically about

00:37:28.960 the kids, not the

00:37:30.280 adults, just the

00:37:31.260 kids, and about

00:37:32.220 the kids

00:37:32.600 transitioning.

00:37:34.440 All right.

00:37:35.140 So I haven't

00:37:35.980 talked about this

00:37:36.640 before, so you

00:37:37.320 have no idea

00:37:37.840 where I'm going

00:37:38.300 to go with

00:37:38.660 this, do you?

00:37:40.180 Where do you

00:37:40.600 think I'm going

00:37:41.000 to go with

00:37:41.320 this?

00:37:44.400 Anticipate.

00:37:45.200 Let's see if you

00:37:45.800 know where I'm

00:37:46.220 going with this.

00:37:47.280 What will be my

00:37:48.200 opinion on

00:37:49.080 children transitioning?

00:37:56.760 All right.

00:37:57.200 Well, I'm going

00:37:57.540 to go at it a

00:37:58.120 little bit

00:37:58.380 sideways.

00:37:59.640 All right.

00:38:00.640 First question.

00:38:02.020 I saw a tweet

00:38:03.700 by Dad

00:38:05.240 or something.

00:38:08.720 Oh, Keith

00:38:09.160 Jordan, I think,

00:38:10.000 is the name of

00:38:10.600 the person.

00:38:11.880 And he said,

00:38:12.480 the rise of

00:38:13.000 social media is

00:38:13.800 culpable.

00:38:15.660 First, Tumblr,

00:38:16.620 then Instagram,

00:38:17.220 then TikTok are

00:38:17.880 all riddled with

00:38:18.680 people pushing the

00:38:19.600 idea that one

00:38:20.800 can, quote,

00:38:21.300 identify and of

00:38:22.740 one's reality.

00:38:23.640 Now, of course,

00:38:24.280 that's his opinion

00:38:24.980 of what is

00:38:26.000 reality.

00:38:27.500 And then there's

00:38:29.360 a Twitter thread

00:38:30.900 that goes into

00:38:31.500 it.

00:38:32.620 All right.

00:38:35.120 Who is to

00:38:36.080 blame for

00:38:37.240 kids transitioning?

00:38:40.000 The children,

00:38:42.440 social media,

00:38:44.820 men,

00:38:45.460 or women?

00:38:48.260 Go.

00:38:48.740 children,

00:38:51.180 social media,

00:38:52.460 men,

00:38:53.100 or women.

00:38:57.720 Okay.

00:38:58.760 The...

00:38:59.160 Oh, what a

00:39:01.980 difference between

00:39:02.660 the two platforms.

00:39:06.160 All right.

00:39:06.860 I'll give you my

00:39:07.460 opinion.

00:39:07.980 It's all women.

00:39:09.580 Yeah.

00:39:10.220 This is a

00:39:11.000 woman-driven

00:39:11.960 problem entirely.

00:39:14.520 Entirely.

00:39:15.260 Now, not to say

00:39:16.380 that men

00:39:17.000 aren't on both

00:39:17.800 sides.

00:39:18.240 Of course,

00:39:18.640 they are.

00:39:19.660 Men are on

00:39:20.180 both sides,

00:39:21.020 and women are

00:39:21.640 on both sides

00:39:22.240 as well.

00:39:23.160 But the power

00:39:24.780 of women is

00:39:25.680 very clear in

00:39:26.540 this, because if

00:39:27.960 men had full

00:39:28.740 control of

00:39:29.320 society, it

00:39:30.440 wouldn't be

00:39:30.760 happening.

00:39:32.200 Can you agree

00:39:32.740 with this?

00:39:33.560 If men made

00:39:34.420 all the decisions

00:39:35.200 and just ignored

00:39:36.180 women, this

00:39:38.120 wouldn't even be

00:39:38.760 an issue.

00:39:39.920 This is entirely

00:39:40.980 a woman-generated

00:39:42.980 problem.

00:39:44.820 Right?

00:39:45.200 Now, when I say

00:39:45.980 problem,

00:39:46.480 I want to be

00:39:48.380 very clear,

00:39:49.240 because here's

00:39:50.220 where I always

00:39:50.700 get accused of

00:39:52.300 fencing.

00:39:54.040 But probability

00:39:56.120 is the only way

00:39:57.280 to be smart.

00:39:58.440 If you're sure

00:39:59.200 of things, you

00:40:00.500 know, and

00:40:00.680 everything's cut

00:40:01.320 and dried and

00:40:02.000 black and white,

00:40:02.920 I'm not sure

00:40:03.960 that's smart.

00:40:05.180 In general, it

00:40:05.980 doesn't matter

00:40:06.260 what topic it

00:40:06.860 is.

00:40:08.200 But here's the

00:40:09.820 problem.

00:40:10.120 there's kind

00:40:11.860 of a parallel

00:40:12.380 to gun

00:40:12.960 ownership.

00:40:14.680 The children

00:40:15.560 and trans

00:40:16.740 situation, very

00:40:18.260 similar to gun

00:40:19.020 ownership, or the

00:40:19.780 way I treat gun

00:40:20.600 ownership.

00:40:21.480 And it goes

00:40:21.940 like this.

00:40:23.620 I guarantee you

00:40:24.660 that some people

00:40:25.320 are better off

00:40:26.200 individually owning

00:40:28.300 guns.

00:40:28.940 Would you agree?

00:40:30.600 I guarantee you

00:40:31.300 somebody somewhere

00:40:32.940 is better off for

00:40:34.260 owning a gun.

00:40:35.480 They might protect

00:40:36.220 their family, etc.

00:40:37.080 Right?

00:40:37.460 Guaranteed.

00:40:37.980 Somebody.

00:40:38.760 Now, I don't

00:40:39.100 know what

00:40:39.420 percentage that

00:40:40.060 is.

00:40:41.020 Now, would you

00:40:41.380 also get guaranteed

00:40:42.580 having guns easily

00:40:44.720 available is killing

00:40:45.840 people who didn't

00:40:47.160 need to be killed?

00:40:48.520 Just because the

00:40:49.140 availability and

00:40:50.160 access.

00:40:51.420 You know, somebody's

00:40:52.160 kid gets into it

00:40:53.040 because a parent is

00:40:53.820 irresponsible, etc.

00:40:55.100 So you could say

00:40:56.140 for sure, one thing

00:40:58.580 I don't think anybody

00:40:59.300 could argue with,

00:41:00.580 there are individuals,

00:41:02.540 individuals for whom

00:41:03.660 gun ownership is

00:41:04.600 definitely better,

00:41:05.760 and individuals for

00:41:06.860 whom they're at

00:41:07.820 greater risk.

00:41:09.160 Would you agree

00:41:09.680 with that?

00:41:10.700 Yeah.

00:41:11.380 Now, I think the

00:41:12.300 trans situation for

00:41:14.460 the kids is similar.

00:41:16.600 I guarantee you

00:41:17.580 that some of them

00:41:18.200 are worse off for

00:41:19.780 reassignment surgery.

00:41:22.000 While I also

00:41:23.000 guarantee somebody

00:41:25.520 is glad they did it

00:41:27.260 and will grow up

00:41:28.780 saying, wow, glad I

00:41:30.100 did that early.

00:41:30.840 That totally fit my

00:41:33.260 mind and my body

00:41:34.400 together, and that

00:41:35.420 worked out for me.

00:41:36.160 So it's really tough

00:41:38.800 to have a strong

00:41:40.160 opinion of which

00:41:40.840 way it should go

00:41:41.520 because you're

00:41:42.720 choosing how other

00:41:45.020 people live their

00:41:45.820 lives.

00:41:47.420 You're saying that

00:41:48.400 your assessment of

00:41:49.840 risk should be

00:41:51.200 superior to someone

00:41:53.000 else's assessment of

00:41:54.220 risk.

00:41:55.060 So the way I solve

00:41:56.320 it in the gun

00:41:57.400 ownership is that

00:41:59.640 you just can't serve

00:42:03.960 everybody.

00:42:04.960 You can't make

00:42:05.740 everybody happy.

00:42:06.960 So I default to

00:42:08.320 freedom.

00:42:09.320 If you can't make

00:42:11.700 everybody safer, you

00:42:14.760 default to freedom.

00:42:16.480 And freedom is, it's

00:42:17.980 in the Constitution,

00:42:18.960 you can own your

00:42:19.540 gun.

00:42:20.100 So that's where I

00:42:20.760 come down on it.

00:42:21.940 It's clearly bad for

00:42:23.120 some people.

00:42:23.700 It's clearly good for

00:42:24.680 some people.

00:42:25.860 Freedom.

00:42:26.500 That's the tiebreaker.

00:42:27.240 With the trans, if I

00:42:30.060 were to apply that

00:42:31.120 same standard, it

00:42:32.840 gets really creepy,

00:42:33.780 doesn't it?

00:42:34.880 Which makes me

00:42:35.540 question the

00:42:36.060 standard.

00:42:37.300 So the standard is,

00:42:38.720 I don't know which

00:42:40.620 kids will be better

00:42:41.420 off.

00:42:43.020 I also don't know

00:42:44.140 the percentage.

00:42:45.440 I don't know if 90%

00:42:46.980 of them are worse

00:42:47.720 off or 90% of them

00:42:49.880 are better off in the

00:42:50.680 long run.

00:42:51.180 Do you?

00:42:52.020 Do any of you know

00:42:52.940 what percentage of

00:42:54.580 kids would always be

00:42:55.680 happy that they did it

00:42:56.720 and what percentage

00:42:57.720 would later regret it?

00:42:59.920 Does anybody know

00:43:00.780 that?

00:43:01.180 I think that's

00:43:01.680 unknowable, right?

00:43:03.680 Isn't it completely

00:43:04.560 unknowable?

00:43:05.840 In part, it's

00:43:06.720 unknowable because

00:43:07.480 we've never had this

00:43:08.440 mass group of

00:43:09.940 children who even

00:43:10.780 were making this

00:43:11.780 decision.

00:43:13.180 So my usual default

00:43:15.040 is if you can't

00:43:16.340 tell which way

00:43:17.780 would hurt more

00:43:18.420 children, I default

00:43:21.000 to freedom.

00:43:23.440 Unfortunately, I

00:43:25.300 default to freedom.

00:43:26.720 And the freedom

00:43:27.480 is the parents

00:43:28.840 and the kids

00:43:29.360 and their

00:43:29.700 doctors, free

00:43:31.660 country.

00:43:33.040 It's a free

00:43:33.420 country.

00:43:34.880 Now, would I

00:43:35.960 also be in favor

00:43:36.960 of educating

00:43:38.640 people better

00:43:40.360 or making sure

00:43:42.120 that the bar

00:43:43.000 is higher so

00:43:44.560 that you don't

00:43:45.120 make the decision

00:43:45.820 until you've

00:43:46.320 really, really

00:43:47.140 exhausted all

00:43:48.460 options?

00:43:49.420 Yeah.

00:43:50.200 I think that

00:43:50.800 would be reasonable.

00:43:51.720 The best,

00:43:53.260 that would be

00:43:55.860 reasonable.

00:43:56.620 I also think it

00:43:57.580 would be reasonable

00:43:58.060 to put an age

00:43:59.180 limit on it

00:43:59.960 because there's

00:44:01.600 almost nothing

00:44:02.340 that we don't

00:44:02.840 put age limits

00:44:03.660 on.

00:44:04.760 Right?

00:44:05.840 Yeah.

00:44:06.580 And I have a

00:44:08.600 real problem with

00:44:09.260 parents making the

00:44:10.320 decisions, not

00:44:12.180 because it isn't

00:44:12.940 their right,

00:44:14.380 because you need

00:44:15.020 to give the

00:44:15.420 parents the right,

00:44:16.580 but because they're

00:44:17.320 not qualified.

00:44:17.940 I don't think

00:44:20.260 many parents are

00:44:21.060 qualified to make

00:44:21.980 that decision or

00:44:23.240 even be part of

00:44:23.980 it.

00:44:24.660 They're not even

00:44:25.400 qualified to

00:44:26.120 participate, really,

00:44:27.900 because it's just

00:44:28.740 their feelings.

00:44:30.040 They're just going

00:44:30.540 to be working on

00:44:31.060 their feelings, and

00:44:32.040 that's no way to

00:44:32.820 make that decision.

00:44:34.820 So, definitely

00:44:36.760 children need to be

00:44:37.680 protected better.

00:44:38.640 Everybody agree?

00:44:40.300 Children need to be

00:44:41.280 protected better in a

00:44:42.280 variety of ways.

00:44:43.100 It's not even the

00:44:43.940 only way, but

00:44:45.280 absolutely we need

00:44:46.240 to do better.

00:44:46.760 I think we should

00:44:50.060 be collectively

00:44:51.700 embarrassed and

00:44:54.300 shamed of how

00:44:55.920 we've done as

00:44:57.280 adults.

00:44:58.100 We should be

00:44:58.720 ashamed of how

00:44:59.920 we've done over

00:45:00.580 the last several

00:45:01.620 years.

00:45:02.100 Ashamed.

00:45:03.720 Fentanyl is still

00:45:04.680 pouring in,

00:45:05.920 TikTok hasn't been

00:45:07.000 banned, and the

00:45:08.240 kids are changing

00:45:08.900 their genders.

00:45:11.720 We should be so

00:45:12.940 ashamed that, you

00:45:13.980 know, the schools

00:45:14.560 were closed.

00:45:15.400 I mean, we

00:45:16.600 should be, there's

00:45:17.880 no apology that

00:45:18.840 can be big enough,

00:45:19.940 right?

00:45:20.640 We owe an

00:45:21.820 apology to this

00:45:23.260 generation that is

00:45:24.940 so big that no

00:45:27.020 words could ever

00:45:28.400 possibly handle.

00:45:31.340 And if you don't

00:45:32.400 think there will

00:45:32.940 someday be

00:45:33.540 reparations for

00:45:35.500 this, you're

00:45:36.300 wrong.

00:45:36.620 someday there will

00:45:38.500 be reparations

00:45:39.360 for overly

00:45:41.080 aggressive

00:45:41.660 transgender

00:45:43.100 surgeries.

00:45:44.400 I'm not saying

00:45:45.060 there should be

00:45:45.860 or that they

00:45:46.420 should win.

00:45:47.480 That's all

00:45:48.040 different.

00:45:48.680 I'm just

00:45:49.080 predicting.

00:45:50.660 Guaranteed, there

00:45:51.440 will be reparations

00:45:52.340 conversations in the

00:45:53.400 future.

00:45:54.380 Ten years, 20

00:45:55.080 years.

00:45:55.660 Guaranteed.

00:45:56.640 Because this is so

00:45:57.780 obviously a problem.

00:45:59.780 I don't know what

00:46:00.260 the solution is, but

00:46:01.120 it's so obviously a

00:46:02.620 problem made by

00:46:03.680 adults and the

00:46:04.640 government, I guess.

00:46:05.340 because the

00:46:06.180 government's sort

00:46:06.800 of allowing it to

00:46:07.960 happen.

00:46:09.560 Yeah.

00:46:10.300 And lawsuits,

00:46:11.120 et cetera.

00:46:14.720 There's always

00:46:15.420 reparations if

00:46:16.420 there's one

00:46:16.840 category of

00:46:17.580 humans that is

00:46:19.360 seemingly abused,

00:46:21.300 no matter what

00:46:22.220 the good intentions

00:46:23.000 were at the

00:46:23.500 time.

00:46:26.520 Thank you,

00:46:27.300 Klopp-Bertz.

00:46:28.300 All the

00:46:28.600 Klopp-Bertz are

00:46:29.240 really putting the

00:46:30.360 energy in.

00:46:31.240 You know, I

00:46:31.680 appreciate it.

00:46:32.580 Because when you

00:46:33.100 think about all

00:46:33.800 the things you

00:46:34.320 could spend time

00:46:34.980 on today, you

00:46:36.640 know, you

00:46:36.900 could be working,

00:46:39.240 learning a

00:46:39.860 skill, you

00:46:42.020 could be good to

00:46:42.740 your family and

00:46:43.560 friends, you

00:46:44.680 know, working

00:46:45.000 some kind of

00:46:45.480 charity thing.

00:46:46.300 But I like the

00:46:47.060 fact that there's

00:46:48.320 so many people who

00:46:49.320 would give up all

00:46:50.340 of that.

00:46:51.300 They'd give up,

00:46:52.400 like, any benefit

00:46:53.420 of the world to

00:46:54.940 be part of my

00:46:55.660 fan group, to

00:46:56.640 be the Klopp-Bertz.

00:46:57.460 And that's the

00:46:58.760 kind of dedication

00:47:00.260 that, yeah, the

00:47:02.900 Klopp-Bertz, I

00:47:04.460 think the Klopp-Bertz

00:47:05.240 need a motto about

00:47:07.740 we cope the

00:47:09.060 hardest.

00:47:10.760 How about that?

00:47:12.100 They need a motto.

00:47:12.980 It's like a

00:47:13.420 catchphrase.

00:47:14.200 Klopp-Bertz, we

00:47:15.620 cope the hardest.

00:47:17.560 How about that?

00:47:21.200 Klopp-Bertz, we

00:47:22.540 cope the hardest.

00:47:23.300 I think that's a

00:47:25.000 good catchphrase.

00:47:27.260 Because you're

00:47:28.080 coping really hard

00:47:28.840 today.

00:47:29.800 Good coping.

00:47:32.500 All right.

00:47:33.880 I made this

00:47:34.720 statement yesterday

00:47:35.500 that got the

00:47:36.840 fewest retweets I

00:47:38.040 think I've seen

00:47:38.720 in a long time.

00:47:40.720 And it's because

00:47:41.260 nobody likes it.

00:47:43.680 All right.

00:47:44.100 Here's my opinion

00:47:44.860 that nobody likes.

00:47:46.720 All politics is

00:47:47.920 just fear.

00:47:49.660 Boom.

00:47:51.200 If you are on

00:47:52.220 the other side of

00:47:52.860 politics, you're

00:47:53.280 from somebody, it's

00:47:54.620 because you fear

00:47:55.240 different things.

00:47:57.040 That's it.

00:47:58.200 It's the whole

00:47:58.840 thing.

00:48:00.240 So I'm not one

00:48:03.980 who says we

00:48:04.620 should stop using

00:48:05.380 fossil fuels.

00:48:06.560 Why do I say

00:48:07.240 that?

00:48:08.340 Why am I not

00:48:10.040 like a maniac

00:48:11.460 about stopping

00:48:12.500 those fossil fuels?

00:48:14.080 Is it because

00:48:14.700 my good analytical

00:48:15.980 abilities?

00:48:17.820 Is it because I've

00:48:18.760 researched it

00:48:19.380 better?

00:48:20.580 And I know

00:48:21.140 that you need

00:48:22.080 it for a while,

00:48:22.700 no matter

00:48:23.160 what?

00:48:24.440 Maybe.

00:48:25.880 Maybe.

00:48:27.640 But could it

00:48:28.580 be that I'm just

00:48:29.360 not afraid of

00:48:30.040 climate change?

00:48:31.440 Could it be that

00:48:32.240 I'm just not

00:48:32.800 afraid of the

00:48:33.240 future because I

00:48:33.880 think we'll

00:48:34.180 figure it out?

00:48:35.720 Do you think I

00:48:36.440 really have a

00:48:37.280 logical, rational

00:48:38.180 reason?

00:48:39.080 Or is it a

00:48:39.900 coincidence that

00:48:41.500 I'm not afraid of

00:48:42.300 it?

00:48:42.460 How about mandates

00:48:47.200 and masking and

00:48:48.540 further vaccinations

00:48:50.180 with what we

00:48:50.880 know now?

00:48:52.040 So forget about

00:48:53.120 the past for a

00:48:53.840 moment.

00:48:54.660 With what we

00:48:55.360 know now, am

00:48:57.140 I promoting

00:48:57.920 mandates and

00:48:58.840 masks, mandatory

00:49:00.380 masks and

00:49:01.340 mandatory vaccinations?

00:49:02.560 I'm not.

00:49:03.760 Why am I not

00:49:04.960 doing that?

00:49:06.380 Because I'm not

00:49:07.280 afraid of the

00:49:07.700 virus.

00:49:09.140 That's it.

00:49:09.780 If I were afraid

00:49:11.600 of it, I'd be

00:49:12.160 like, oh, do

00:49:12.640 everything.

00:49:13.920 Now, during the

00:49:14.960 initial phases

00:49:17.900 when the images

00:49:19.300 from China made

00:49:20.900 it look like it

00:49:21.500 was a bioweapon

00:49:22.320 because people

00:49:23.160 were allegedly

00:49:23.720 dropping over,

00:49:24.840 we know it's

00:49:25.620 fake now, but

00:49:26.780 at the time we

00:49:27.380 didn't know.

00:49:29.900 Was it reasonable

00:49:30.860 to be afraid of

00:49:31.820 the thing you

00:49:33.340 didn't know but

00:49:34.560 it looked like a

00:49:35.100 bioweapon?

00:49:36.360 Yes.

00:49:37.480 I would say

00:49:37.880 yes.

00:49:38.860 I would say

00:49:39.300 yes because

00:49:39.760 being afraid of

00:49:40.340 it before you

00:49:41.200 knew, based on

00:49:42.920 the information

00:49:43.420 you had that

00:49:43.980 looked really

00:49:44.360 scary, totally

00:49:45.820 reasonable.

00:49:47.160 Okay, totally

00:49:47.640 reasonable.

00:49:49.360 Now, once we

00:49:50.280 learned more, was

00:49:52.400 it reasonable to

00:49:53.280 release on the

00:49:54.080 fear?

00:49:54.960 I think so.

00:49:56.340 Or at least

00:49:56.820 reduce it greatly.

00:49:58.840 So, a lot of

00:49:59.600 people have been

00:50:00.280 the clopperts.

00:50:02.740 The clopperts like

00:50:03.600 to argue that my

00:50:05.760 opinion should have

00:50:06.560 been the same even

00:50:08.740 as the most

00:50:09.960 basic information

00:50:10.980 completely changed,

00:50:12.720 actually reversed.

00:50:14.600 So, the initial

00:50:15.220 information said,

00:50:16.340 you know, get off

00:50:17.580 the planet if you

00:50:18.500 can.

00:50:19.220 We're all going to

00:50:20.120 die.

00:50:20.900 And then, it didn't

00:50:21.940 take long, a few

00:50:22.800 months, before we

00:50:24.260 realized, oh, it's

00:50:25.120 actually the

00:50:26.360 comorbidity problem,

00:50:27.900 et cetera.

00:50:29.240 So, right, and I'm

00:50:31.460 saying right here,

00:50:32.000 there's a clopper who's

00:50:33.980 doing a hard cope.

00:50:35.080 He says, I'm the

00:50:36.300 master of moving the

00:50:37.440 goalposts and

00:50:39.020 flip-flopping.

00:50:41.380 So, changing my

00:50:43.060 opinion as the data

00:50:46.200 and information

00:50:46.880 changed is considered

00:50:48.740 the greatest sin to

00:50:49.940 the clopperts.

00:50:51.520 The clopperts are

00:50:53.080 doing a hard cope

00:50:54.060 because somebody

00:50:55.660 altered or modified

00:50:57.420 their opinion as the

00:50:59.360 information changed.

00:51:01.060 And if you want to,

00:51:01.940 if you want to see

00:51:02.520 something funny on

00:51:03.640 Locals, just open a

00:51:05.400 second window and

00:51:06.080 look at the clopperts.

00:51:07.560 They're all just

00:51:08.160 going nuts.

00:51:11.780 Clopperts, give us

00:51:13.640 some entertainment.

00:51:14.400 Go.

00:51:15.620 I'd like you to say

00:51:16.640 in public, in front

00:51:17.680 of the others, that

00:51:18.960 it's a bad idea to

00:51:20.160 revise your opinion

00:51:21.220 when the information

00:51:22.800 changes.

00:51:24.020 Go.

00:51:27.520 Cope.

00:51:28.800 Projection.

00:51:29.920 There it is.

00:51:30.880 Projection.

00:51:32.520 All right.

00:51:34.500 Let me give you some

00:51:35.560 more examples of why

00:51:36.740 all politics is what

00:51:37.900 you fear.

00:51:39.020 The people who are

00:51:40.620 the purebloods,

00:51:42.220 purebloods.

00:51:43.660 What do the purebloods

00:51:45.540 fear?

00:51:47.280 Do they fear the

00:51:48.260 vaccination?

00:51:49.800 Or do they fear the

00:51:51.000 virus?

00:51:54.340 Yeah, the government

00:51:55.240 slash vaccination.

00:51:57.600 Well, they fear the

00:51:58.660 vaccination.

00:51:59.220 vaccination, right?

00:52:01.840 So, so I would say

00:52:03.940 that the, the, the

00:52:05.700 clopperts and the, the

00:52:08.100 hard copers over here,

00:52:09.740 they're all people who

00:52:11.240 are deathly afraid of

00:52:12.480 the vaccination.

00:52:14.100 Now, I got vaccinated

00:52:16.200 after waiting as long as

00:52:17.520 I could to find out, you

00:52:19.120 know, what the risks

00:52:19.840 were.

00:52:20.900 But then I made the

00:52:22.340 same decision that Dr.

00:52:23.780 Robert Malone did, which

00:52:25.520 is, okay, I've waited

00:52:26.480 months and months.

00:52:27.280 Most of the side effects

00:52:28.740 usually happened in the

00:52:29.620 first months.

00:52:31.680 There was, there was

00:52:32.300 still, there were, there

00:52:34.020 were still, the

00:52:35.120 information, of course,

00:52:36.080 was still, the clopperts

00:52:39.340 are going crazy now.

00:52:40.500 I'm doing this

00:52:41.040 intentionally, by the

00:52:41.840 way.

00:52:42.500 I'm just seeing how much

00:52:43.560 I can spin them up now.

00:52:45.600 The clopperts, no, you

00:52:47.380 promoted it.

00:52:48.700 The clopperts think I

00:52:49.700 promoted it.

00:52:51.640 The clopperts think that I

00:52:53.160 was on the fence.

00:52:53.900 I'm a caver.

00:52:57.360 Yeah.

00:52:58.880 So I made the same

00:52:59.920 decision as their hero,

00:53:01.700 Dr. Robert Malone, and

00:53:03.640 for the same reasons and

00:53:04.660 about the same time.

00:53:06.280 Same decision.

00:53:08.280 Now, that makes the

00:53:09.260 clopperts go crazy, as

00:53:10.620 they are.

00:53:12.440 But, don't you think that

00:53:14.420 the clopperts are deathly

00:53:15.800 afraid of the

00:53:16.960 vaccination?

00:53:18.740 I'm not saying they

00:53:19.520 shouldn't be.

00:53:20.760 I'm not saying, not even

00:53:21.960 saying they shouldn't be.

00:53:22.680 But, don't you think

00:53:24.800 they're deathly afraid?

00:53:26.240 They seem frightened to

00:53:27.240 death.

00:53:33.400 All right.

00:53:36.560 So, that's my, so that's

00:53:40.140 my take.

00:53:41.260 Mostly, we rationalize

00:53:42.900 our fears, and that's

00:53:44.240 what politics is.

00:53:45.740 I do think, it's not

00:53:48.460 mind-reading to say we

00:53:49.900 rationalize our fears,

00:53:50.920 because that's the basic

00:53:52.260 operating system of

00:53:53.360 people.

00:53:53.980 If I said, you're

00:53:55.260 rationalizing your fears,

00:53:56.540 but I'm not, that would

00:53:58.540 be batshit crazy.

00:54:00.440 Don't let me do that.

00:54:02.440 Right?

00:54:02.680 You get that?

00:54:03.680 If I said, if I said, you

00:54:05.520 are rationalizing your

00:54:06.580 fears, but I'm using my

00:54:08.680 rational thought, and I'm

00:54:09.780 not rationalizing my

00:54:10.760 fears, you shouldn't

00:54:11.740 listen to me at all, ever

00:54:13.440 again, for anything.

00:54:14.920 No, we all are, we all

00:54:16.720 have the same operating

00:54:17.520 system.

00:54:17.940 Everything's a

00:54:19.260 rationalization.

00:54:20.800 See, the only reason you

00:54:21.960 would disagree with that

00:54:23.020 statement is that you

00:54:24.440 believe sometimes we act

00:54:25.900 rationally, and sometimes

00:54:27.800 we don't, right?

00:54:29.680 That's what most of you

00:54:30.780 think.

00:54:31.560 Sometimes we're rational,

00:54:32.720 actually most of the time,

00:54:33.980 and then every once in a

00:54:35.100 while we could get crazy.

00:54:36.660 It's the reverse.

00:54:38.940 You are irrational nearly all

00:54:41.220 the time, and you just

00:54:42.620 don't realize it.

00:54:43.300 And again, I don't mean

00:54:45.480 just you, I mean me.

00:54:48.560 Let me explain that.

00:54:49.980 That's the hypnotist

00:54:51.240 reframe.

00:54:52.140 It's in my book that's

00:54:53.820 upcoming as well.

00:54:55.100 The hypnotist reframe is

00:54:57.180 that you're not rational

00:54:58.800 90% of the time, but

00:55:00.100 sometimes you're crazy.

00:55:01.600 Everybody gets a little

00:55:02.420 crazy sometimes.

00:55:03.820 It's really the reverse.

00:55:05.380 90% of the time, you

00:55:06.900 don't know why you do what

00:55:07.880 you do.

00:55:08.280 It's just a

00:55:08.700 rationalization.

00:55:10.180 10% of the time, you're

00:55:11.440 balancing your checkbook.

00:55:13.300 And that might make

00:55:14.380 sense.

00:55:15.560 It's a rational process.

00:55:17.280 But all of your decisions

00:55:18.260 about who you marry, where

00:55:19.460 you live, what job you

00:55:20.720 take, how you feel about

00:55:22.220 politics, that's all fear

00:55:24.460 based stuff that we

00:55:26.220 rationalize as doing deep

00:55:28.500 research.

00:55:30.440 So that's the hypnotist

00:55:32.000 reframe.

00:55:34.860 The Klopberts are saying

00:55:36.300 I'm doing mental

00:55:37.400 gymnastics.

00:55:38.000 physics.

00:55:40.260 Or I'm agreeing with the

00:55:42.660 entire field of psychology.

00:55:44.480 By the way, you know that

00:55:45.580 that agrees with the entire

00:55:47.740 field of psychology and

00:55:48.900 science.

00:55:49.880 There's no disagreement.

00:55:51.620 What I just told you that we

00:55:53.000 decide first and then

00:55:55.320 rationalize it, that's not

00:55:57.520 Scott talking.

00:55:58.480 You know that, right?

00:55:59.840 You know that's science?

00:56:01.480 Did you know that?

00:56:02.280 So it would be interesting

00:56:04.520 to be pro-science.

00:56:06.600 Just think about this

00:56:07.680 irony.

00:56:09.300 The science of psychology

00:56:11.140 and, you know, brain scans and

00:56:14.180 everything else, they know for

00:56:15.680 sure, they know for sure that

00:56:18.700 your rational brain doesn't

00:56:19.860 activate until after the

00:56:20.920 decision.

00:56:21.860 That's been proven for

00:56:22.800 decades.

00:56:23.680 And every time they try to

00:56:24.840 repeat the experiment, they

00:56:26.320 prove it again.

00:56:26.880 So the people who say, you

00:56:29.620 got to use science, are just

00:56:32.900 rationalizing their fear, but

00:56:35.140 selling it to you like they're

00:56:36.380 the logical ones and you're

00:56:37.880 not.

00:56:38.180 Nothing like that's

00:56:38.860 happening.

00:56:39.600 There's nothing like that

00:56:40.480 happening.

00:56:41.400 All of the believed science

00:56:42.760 people are just afraid of

00:56:43.860 something.

00:56:45.540 And the don't believe science

00:56:47.660 are just afraid of something

00:56:48.840 else.

00:56:50.160 Now, that will offend at least

00:56:53.120 all of you.

00:56:54.840 It usually offends everybody.

00:56:56.880 But it should be an equal

00:56:58.920 opportunity offense.

00:57:00.340 Because remember, every bit of

00:57:01.640 this applies to me.

00:57:03.860 You have to keep reminding

00:57:05.080 yourself of that to accept

00:57:06.960 this.

00:57:07.720 Everything I say is a flaw in

00:57:10.300 me because it's a flaw in all

00:57:12.480 of our operating systems.

00:57:13.960 Nobody's exempt.

00:57:15.700 Everybody thinks they are.

00:57:17.500 You think you're exempt.

00:57:18.560 We're not.

00:57:18.920 Nobody's exempt.

00:57:22.300 So the clobberts are deathly

00:57:25.200 afraid of clots and can't

00:57:26.800 really talk about anything

00:57:27.660 else.

00:57:29.920 I mean, I think that's pretty

00:57:31.040 obvious.

00:57:31.820 Do you think that they would

00:57:32.640 talk obsessively about it if

00:57:34.320 they weren't concerned about

00:57:35.760 it?

00:57:36.580 Would they have any care

00:57:38.420 whatsoever about my opinion

00:57:40.300 if they weren't frightened to

00:57:42.080 death of clots?

00:57:44.180 No.

00:57:45.560 It would be completely

00:57:46.580 irrelevant.

00:57:47.600 It's only their immense,

00:57:49.680 petrifying fear that gives

00:57:52.180 them the energy to come over

00:57:54.360 here and spend time doing

00:57:55.460 this because of all the

00:57:57.340 things that they could be

00:57:58.220 doing right now that they

00:57:59.260 decided, a lot of them

00:58:00.900 right now, even at this

00:58:02.860 moment, a lot of them have

00:58:04.180 decided to come over here

00:58:06.520 and do this because they're

00:58:08.380 just frightened to death.

00:58:10.160 I mean, they're just shaking.

00:58:11.080 You can almost see the

00:58:11.720 comments.

00:58:12.160 They're like, shaking.

00:58:13.280 So now they're yelling

00:58:18.000 projecting, first in caps, and

00:58:21.180 now it's in all capitals, with

00:58:23.620 spaces between each of the

00:58:24.880 letters.

00:58:26.340 Projecting.

00:58:27.380 That's a tell for cognitive

00:58:28.540 dissonance, by the way.

00:58:30.720 When you get totally pinned,

00:58:34.940 yeah.

00:58:36.220 So now all the frightened to

00:58:39.080 death clotverts are yelling

00:58:41.820 projection, because they know

00:58:43.800 they've been totally, totally

00:58:46.580 owned.

00:58:48.200 When you get totally owned,

00:58:50.440 then you say projection.

00:58:52.160 That's always the last thing.

00:58:53.960 So I know when the

00:58:54.820 conversation has ended and

00:58:56.060 I've won, when they're

00:58:57.500 yelling projection in all caps

00:58:59.440 with a little space in

00:59:00.520 between.

00:59:01.200 That's like, that's as good

00:59:02.860 as you can win.

00:59:08.760 You claimed projection

00:59:10.280 earlier, you midwit.

00:59:11.820 Right, the first person who

00:59:14.580 claims it might be right.

00:59:16.720 The second person who

00:59:17.900 claims it, never.

00:59:24.480 All right, so all the

00:59:26.140 clotverts, you, I'll bet if

00:59:27.740 you were to check the health

00:59:31.240 of all the clotverts compared

00:59:33.580 to regular people, I wonder if

00:59:35.500 it'd be different.

00:59:37.520 I wonder if they'd be any

00:59:38.620 different.

00:59:38.840 You know, the weirdest thing is

00:59:41.340 that I'm in perfect health

00:59:42.340 right now.

00:59:44.340 All the people are sure I made

00:59:45.740 a wrong health care decision.

00:59:48.280 I don't know, doing pretty

00:59:49.660 good.

00:59:54.220 My workouts are better than

00:59:55.460 they've ever been.

00:59:58.300 So there's that.

00:59:59.280 All right.

00:59:59.780 All right.

01:00:01.900 And then we all fear inflation.

01:00:04.740 Inflation is one of those

01:00:05.740 things that isn't bipartisan

01:00:07.740 because it affects everybody.

01:00:10.380 But everybody is about equally

01:00:11.840 afraid of inflation, wouldn't you

01:00:13.280 say?

01:00:14.300 There's nobody, Democrat or

01:00:15.940 Republican, who isn't kind of

01:00:18.920 worried about inflation.

01:00:20.540 So that one ends up not being

01:00:21.920 especially political because we're

01:00:23.700 all afraid of it.

01:00:24.480 But I do think there's a

01:00:26.780 difference in the conservative

01:00:30.040 mind versus the progressive

01:00:36.060 mind.

01:00:37.000 It does seem to me that

01:00:38.380 conservatives see the greatest

01:00:40.260 fear in changing things.

01:00:42.940 Would you agree?

01:00:44.300 I think that's backed up by

01:00:45.580 science, right?

01:00:46.720 That conservatives are more

01:00:48.260 afraid of a change because that

01:00:50.780 change could be bad.

01:00:52.440 Of course I could.

01:00:53.980 I mean, that's reasonable.

01:00:55.360 You should definitely fear

01:00:56.920 change.

01:00:58.020 You know that famous book,

01:01:00.060 Who Moved the Cheese?

01:01:01.480 It's supposed to teach you not

01:01:02.760 to fear change.

01:01:04.080 You should totally fear change.

01:01:07.880 Like, I can't think of anything

01:01:09.280 smarter than fearing change.

01:01:11.960 Don't you fight every day to

01:01:13.800 prevent change because you fear

01:01:15.940 it?

01:01:16.620 It's totally reasonable.

01:01:18.640 But you know what's also

01:01:19.700 reasonable?

01:01:20.140 It's reasonable to change

01:01:22.320 anyway, right?

01:01:24.580 It's reasonable to be frightened

01:01:25.960 to death of change.

01:01:27.380 It's not reasonable to let that

01:01:28.980 be the reason not to change.

01:01:31.040 Completely different.

01:01:32.700 You know, the ideal situation

01:01:34.280 is that you do the things you're

01:01:35.540 afraid of because you know they

01:01:37.080 have to be done.

01:01:38.600 That's your perfect situation.

01:01:40.920 So somewhere between the

01:01:42.820 progressives who are willing to

01:01:44.180 change things because they think

01:01:46.240 that staying the same is the

01:01:47.900 dangerous part.

01:01:49.260 They're afraid of staying the

01:01:50.360 same.

01:01:50.820 It's like, ah, it's going to be

01:01:51.860 more of whatever we don't like.

01:01:54.760 So, I mean, the wokeness thing

01:01:56.580 I think is fear.

01:01:58.620 It's power, but it's also fear.

01:02:02.100 So it's power in the sense that

01:02:03.840 if you can push your wokeness

01:02:05.220 agenda, it gives you power over

01:02:07.040 other people.

01:02:07.680 So power is pretty predictive of

01:02:09.600 what people do.

01:02:10.220 But also, it's base is that they're

01:02:14.620 being discriminated against and

01:02:16.800 their success is based on other

01:02:19.100 people holding them down.

01:02:20.760 It's fear-based.

01:02:23.000 Yeah.

01:02:23.260 I mean, it's victim-based and fear-based

01:02:25.280 and power-based, but there's still

01:02:27.340 fear there.

01:02:28.280 There's something they're afraid of.

01:02:30.560 Sometimes for good reason, sometimes

01:02:32.420 not.

01:02:34.040 Why aren't conservatives afraid of

01:02:35.860 climate change?

01:02:36.660 Because they're afraid of change.

01:02:41.460 And the change is what we would do

01:02:42.960 to ourselves.

01:02:45.580 The change is what we would do to

01:02:46.680 ourselves.

01:02:47.440 The change is not what nature does.

01:02:50.000 Conservatives are afraid of their own

01:02:52.900 initiated changes, like government

01:02:54.880 initiated changes.

01:02:56.440 And that's why they'd be afraid of

01:02:58.460 climate change.

01:02:59.540 I've never seen a conservative who

01:03:02.040 is afraid of the weather.

01:03:04.860 And here I'm doing the conservative

01:03:06.640 framing, where they're going to say,

01:03:08.460 ah, climate change is just weather.

01:03:10.800 I don't say that, by the way.

01:03:12.400 But that's a common framing.

01:03:20.580 Yeah.

01:03:24.280 Not afraid, just alert to change.

01:03:29.580 Well, you know, I think a lot of you

01:03:32.360 are going to try to wiggle out of your

01:03:35.340 own fears.

01:03:37.420 Because I'm not saying that every

01:03:39.160 political fear is like a, in your

01:03:41.420 heart, you know, your stomach is

01:03:43.620 hurt.

01:03:45.120 There's some things that you just

01:03:46.480 think are better than other things.

01:03:48.480 Because you say, you know, if we do

01:03:50.660 this, I'm worried that it'll be a

01:03:53.160 slippery slope.

01:03:54.580 I would call that a fear.

01:03:56.560 If you want to call that a reasoned

01:03:58.480 opinion of what is worse than

01:03:59.920 something else, I would say that's just,

01:04:01.900 that's your interpretation after the

01:04:03.880 fact.

01:04:04.660 You start with the fear, and that's

01:04:06.920 the rationalization you put on it.

01:04:08.520 No, it's not a fear.

01:04:10.060 I did a cost-benefit analysis.

01:04:11.960 It's not a fear.

01:04:13.240 So that's exactly the rationalization.

01:04:14.980 All right.

01:04:18.900 Fear is too broad.

01:04:20.000 Yeah, everything about politics is too

01:04:22.000 broad.

01:04:22.900 True that.

01:04:24.700 All right, that's all I wanted to say

01:04:25.800 today.

01:04:26.760 And already, I think we can guarantee

01:04:28.980 this is the best live stream you've

01:04:31.980 ever seen.

01:04:35.040 Scott is afraid of mockery, they say.

01:04:37.900 Am I?

01:04:41.300 Am I afraid of mockery?

01:04:42.880 Yes or no?

01:04:50.700 It's actually a yes-no.

01:04:54.500 I deal with it by embracing it.

01:04:58.700 But if I suppose there's some kind of

01:05:01.200 mockery, that would be bad for me.

01:05:07.180 Stick's love is greater than clot fear.

01:05:11.100 Yeah, I'm afraid of water.

01:05:12.300 That's true.

01:05:13.060 Afraid of drowning.

01:05:13.920 I'm not afraid of water.

01:05:15.240 I'm afraid of too much of it with too

01:05:18.200 far to the shore.

01:05:24.980 Ben Garrison mockery.

01:05:27.160 Well, Ben Garrison I just use as

01:05:29.120 kindling.

01:05:31.140 So I've had some smart, well-meaning

01:05:33.500 people say, Scott, you seem to be, you

01:05:36.880 know, answering your critics too much.

01:05:38.940 Just let it go.

01:05:39.940 Let it go.

01:05:40.420 Terrible advice.

01:05:42.820 Terrible advice.

01:05:44.320 Really bad advice.

01:05:45.740 Here's why.

01:05:46.460 Here's why I don't let it go.

01:05:48.380 First of all, I do let go 90% of the things.

01:05:52.300 I just don't let go anything that would

01:05:54.200 decrease my credibility.

01:05:57.160 Because my credibility is the only asset I have

01:06:00.040 that's, you know, matters,

01:06:02.000 that allows me to do what I'm doing,

01:06:04.860 which I judge to be useful for other people.

01:06:08.960 So for me to be useful to the tribe,

01:06:12.660 you know, to the country, to the world,

01:06:14.280 for me to be useful,

01:06:15.620 I have to be seen as credible.

01:06:18.940 And there are some kinds of rumors that I have to squash

01:06:23.140 because they go directly toward the credibility.

01:06:25.160 So that's why the clotters who refuse to read the profile link

01:06:30.900 in my Twitter profile,

01:06:33.220 they're all worked up and excitable

01:06:35.740 because they have no idea what my actual opinions are.

01:06:39.060 But I'm using them as kindling and Ben Garrison

01:06:43.020 because the more energy I can attract to the complaints,

01:06:48.860 the more energy I can divert to the explanation

01:06:52.900 that makes the clotberts look silly.

01:06:56.460 So the more clotberts there are now,

01:06:58.400 the better it is for me.

01:06:59.720 In the beginning, they were annoying trolls

01:07:01.600 of no value whatsoever.

01:07:03.800 But when they reach a certain level,

01:07:06.020 then their value starts to be expressed

01:07:08.260 because then as an energy monster,

01:07:10.520 I can start moving their energy where I want it.

01:07:12.600 So that's what's happening now.

01:07:14.380 So we're in the phase where the clotberts

01:07:16.520 have fallen into the trap.

01:07:19.400 I know at this point they're saying,

01:07:21.020 wait a minute, you're just saying that after the fact.

01:07:23.800 This was not, in fact, a cleverly designed trap

01:07:27.500 to attract a bunch of people

01:07:29.340 exactly like is happening right now.

01:07:32.460 No, it was.

01:07:33.600 No, it actually was.

01:07:35.100 It was literally a plan

01:07:37.300 to get as many of you here

01:07:39.340 saying exactly what you're saying

01:07:40.960 as I possibly could.

01:07:43.460 And I wanted to get it into the media.

01:07:46.620 So far it's only some sketchy media.

01:07:49.040 Hasn't gone to the, like, real media.

01:07:51.500 But if I can drive this a little bit further

01:07:53.440 and if the clotberts could maybe make

01:07:56.180 a little bit more noise,

01:07:57.920 we might be able to move this onto regular media.

01:08:01.520 And if I can get it into the major media,

01:08:03.600 then that's my win.

01:08:05.440 That would be my big win.

01:08:06.480 So you guys are helping me out now.

01:08:09.000 You're the NPCs that I needed.

01:08:12.360 You're exactly the NPCs I needed.

01:08:14.760 Because the authors of the reality

01:08:16.340 just use the NPCs for kindling.

01:08:19.120 Right?

01:08:19.220 Do I care about Ben Garrison

01:08:21.160 has a bad opinion of my opinions?

01:08:26.180 No.

01:08:27.180 How could I possibly care about that?

01:08:29.820 It's just electrical activity

01:08:32.680 in the skull of a person I've never met.

01:08:35.300 How in the world would that bother me?

01:08:36.960 Not at all.

01:08:39.540 But acting like it bothers me

01:08:41.580 generates all the activity from the clotberts.

01:08:45.160 And then the clotberts can make me trend

01:08:47.540 if they keep going after me.

01:08:50.040 And if the clotberts make me trend,

01:08:51.980 then it can move to the regular media

01:08:53.560 and then I can exploit it

01:08:55.860 as a proper energy monster.

01:08:58.400 So you're all part of the plan.

01:09:00.880 And the copers are excellent.

01:09:05.900 So the copers and the clotters

01:09:08.120 sort of two groups

01:09:09.680 are exactly who I need to come after me.

01:09:13.260 So if you could do some tweeting,

01:09:16.380 you should see the comments over here.

01:09:19.280 Oh, I'll just show you.

01:09:20.780 I'm going to show the locals people

01:09:22.140 the clotberts.

01:09:25.300 Let's see.

01:09:26.900 Can you see each other?

01:09:30.440 Why is this not working?

01:09:33.840 I don't know why this isn't working.

01:09:35.900 Damn it.

01:09:42.060 The cameras on these two things

01:09:43.560 are not lined up.

01:09:44.840 So let's see.

01:09:45.300 Where's the camera on this one?

01:09:46.380 This camera is over here.

01:09:48.760 Oh my God, this is so hard.

01:09:50.220 It's like quadruple mirrors.

01:09:53.200 I literally can't figure this out.

01:09:56.120 Why is it I can't point to...

01:09:58.240 They're literally just pointing at each other.

01:10:00.060 Why are they not...

01:10:00.680 If I go this way...

01:10:02.680 Why doesn't that help?

01:10:06.500 Interesting.

01:10:07.980 Neither direction improves it.

01:10:11.960 Well, that is a weird little illusion.

01:10:14.300 There's some weird little illusion

01:10:15.600 where if I try to line up those two cameras,

01:10:19.240 moving it to the left makes it worse,

01:10:21.580 and also moving to the right makes it worse.

01:10:25.120 I don't exactly know what's going on.

01:10:27.760 I don't know how that's possible.

01:10:29.600 Because it was literally just two iPads facing each other,

01:10:32.820 but they weren't lined up right.

01:10:34.760 If I move it one way, it makes it worse,

01:10:36.400 but also the other way makes it worse.

01:10:39.020 Moving in didn't help.

01:10:40.260 Moving in didn't help at all.

01:10:41.400 What's up with that?

01:10:43.620 That was weird.

01:10:44.840 I'm sure that's a user error.

01:10:47.060 But anyway, the copers and the clopberts,

01:10:53.820 a little more of that, please.

01:10:56.780 And tomorrow we'll be here at the same time.

01:10:59.220 Tell your friends.

01:11:00.600 Tweet about it.

01:11:01.860 Bring everybody.

01:11:03.560 Bring them all.

01:11:05.740 Why are you so quiet?

01:11:06.840 They all got quiet all of a sudden.

01:11:08.320 No, I know where the camera is located on the iPads,

01:11:13.600 and I was lining up the camera to the screen.

01:11:16.700 It didn't make any difference.

01:11:17.760 I don't know why.

01:11:18.840 It's just weird.

01:11:21.220 Did they all leave at once?

01:11:24.800 Was it showing?

01:11:26.420 I think just turning the...

01:11:28.760 They all disappeared at the same time.

01:11:32.440 Oh, my God, were they all organized so much

01:11:34.900 that they left at the same time?

01:11:36.960 They're completely gone.

01:11:38.320 It was the entire feed until I turned the camera on to show you,

01:11:44.700 and then they literally disappeared.

01:11:46.780 They're all gone.

01:11:50.840 Oh, there we go.

01:11:51.860 Here's another one.

01:11:53.000 Cope clod atoms.

01:11:55.100 Only one left.

01:11:56.980 There we go.

01:11:58.040 See, they're a little bit shy.

01:12:00.200 I guess they're shy.

01:12:01.900 Now they're back.

01:12:02.780 All right, come on, guys.

01:12:04.400 Get those coping clodders back.

01:12:08.000 They're projecting coping clodders.

01:12:09.560 I only engage with the caps lockers.

01:12:16.680 That's probably true.

01:12:18.000 I do engage with the people who yell at me and caps lock,

01:12:21.260 because mocking them is more fun.

01:12:23.720 That's pride.

01:12:24.940 Shy copers.

01:12:25.660 The cringe killed them.

01:12:29.980 So now we have a new theme, the cringe.

01:12:33.480 So now I'm a clodder and a coper,

01:12:37.620 but there might be some cringe in the way I'm dealing with it.

01:12:41.340 A little bit of cringe.

01:12:42.040 Go with that.

01:12:45.620 Go with the cringe, too.

01:12:47.220 So I would add the coping to the cringe and the all caps,

01:12:52.540 and especially you should say,

01:12:54.420 make sure you take this message forward.

01:12:57.080 Make sure you say,

01:12:58.100 I got everything wrong about the pandemic.

01:13:01.200 Don't pick your shots.

01:13:03.580 Say, I got everything wrong about the pandemic,

01:13:06.280 because that works in my favor,

01:13:07.860 because that would be an obviously false claim.

01:13:12.040 But I think I can goad you into it.

01:13:15.060 Just say, I got everything wrong.

01:13:17.580 I'm coping and clotting.

01:13:21.520 How'd you get over your fear of riding a bike?

01:13:24.700 I didn't.

01:13:26.700 I just did it anyway.

01:13:29.320 You know, some of the best advice,

01:13:30.920 you've heard this before,

01:13:31.700 the best advice is not about conquering your fear.

01:13:35.740 Like, I don't know who said this first.

01:13:37.660 Somebody smart.

01:13:39.080 But, um,

01:13:40.580 you're a midnight talk.

01:13:42.040 I'm a clodder.

01:13:42.720 I'm a coper.

01:13:43.820 I'm a midnight toker.

01:13:45.880 Okay, that's good.

01:13:48.780 I'm a clodder.

01:13:50.400 I'm a coper.

01:13:51.920 I'm a midnight toker.

01:13:53.980 Those of you who remember the 70s

01:13:56.520 are laughing at that.

01:13:57.820 Those of you who don't,

01:13:59.040 have no idea what's happening right now.

01:14:01.100 Hold on.

01:14:03.660 Trump just declared war on drug cartels.

01:14:06.000 Stop.

01:14:06.580 Stop the press.

01:14:08.620 Stop the press.

01:14:09.760 Did that just happen?

01:14:11.780 Hello.

01:14:12.980 Stop the press.

01:14:14.120 Open my truth.

01:14:14.860 I don't know if that's true.

01:14:18.380 But we'll see.

01:14:19.900 Truth social,

01:14:21.240 which has clearly demonstrated its value.

01:14:26.760 Let's see what Mr. Trump is saying.

01:14:28.740 I don't see it on truth.

01:14:39.820 Nope.

01:14:40.760 That doesn't look real.

01:14:42.620 So that's not real, right?

01:14:44.100 Trump didn't say anything about the cartels

01:14:47.200 recently.

01:14:51.840 What about April 1st, 2020?

01:14:57.000 Would I ever host a Twitter space?

01:14:59.540 Maybe.

01:15:00.900 Maybe.

01:15:01.360 I don't need another platform.

01:15:10.320 Gets his money on the run.

01:15:12.740 Yeah, okay.

01:15:14.100 Why did I ignore the trans issue for so long?

01:15:19.300 Well, I didn't ignore it on the sports side.

01:15:22.640 I was actually way into it.

01:15:25.300 On the kid side,

01:15:28.420 my thinking was it wasn't my business.

01:15:34.100 And I'm not too far from that.

01:15:38.400 There's some things that,

01:15:39.720 if it looks like a family decision,

01:15:41.500 I also don't weigh in on abortion.

01:15:45.600 You're all aware of that, right?

01:15:46.820 I don't weigh in on abortion,

01:15:49.380 because I think that's a decision

01:15:50.940 between individuals who are in that situation.

01:15:53.360 And I prefer the women to have the primary

01:15:55.280 voice in that.

01:15:56.860 And I also am worried that I'm too influential.

01:15:59.580 And I don't think male influence

01:16:01.940 on the abortion decision is helpful.

01:16:05.600 He said he would attack the cartels,

01:16:07.440 but he didn't say that recently, right?

01:16:08.700 Can you confirm there's nothing recent

01:16:11.280 from Trump about the cartels?

01:16:14.160 You're just looking at old statements, right?

01:16:19.060 What's that?

01:16:21.780 Look over here.

01:16:22.720 Oh, you've got the...

01:16:24.760 There is a video.

01:16:25.840 All right.

01:16:26.320 Let's listen to the video.

01:16:27.440 I'm trying to click it.

01:16:28.720 Come on.

01:16:30.280 Comments are going.

01:16:30.960 All right.

01:16:33.280 Let's see if I can see this.

01:16:34.920 I'm playing it on the...

01:16:39.360 Fentanyl, heroin, meth,

01:16:41.580 and other lethal drugs

01:16:42.900 are pouring across our wide-open border,

01:16:46.200 stealing hundreds of thousands

01:16:47.800 of beautiful American lives.

01:16:49.860 Am I going to have to endorse it?

01:16:51.020 It's happening like never before in our history.

01:16:53.760 Children are being left without parents.

01:16:55.700 Families are being ripped apart.

01:16:58.160 Communities are being decimated.

01:17:00.080 I don't know if you can still hear me on local.

01:17:01.780 Our neighbors and fellow citizens

01:17:02.760 are having their entire worlds destroyed.

01:17:06.580 Destroyed like nobody thought possible.

01:17:09.560 Our country is being poisoned from within

01:17:11.920 by the drugs

01:17:12.800 and by all of the other crime

01:17:14.460 that's taking place.

01:17:15.800 All right.

01:17:15.980 Let's listen to this.

01:17:16.480 The drug cartels are waging war in America,

01:17:19.000 and it's now time for America

01:17:21.120 to wage war on the cartels.

01:17:24.260 In this war,

01:17:25.140 Joe Biden is sided against the United States

01:17:27.760 and with the cartels.

01:17:29.060 They are making more money

01:17:30.880 than they've ever made before times 10.

01:17:34.640 Damn it.

01:17:34.840 There's never been anything like it.

01:17:36.420 They're major, major companies.

01:17:38.280 They're bigger than even some of our biggest companies.

01:17:42.060 Biden's open border policies

01:17:43.820 are a deadly betrayal of our nation.

01:17:46.840 Keep going.

01:17:47.280 When I am president,

01:17:48.280 it will be the policy of the United States

01:17:50.740 to take down the cartels,

01:17:52.480 just as we took down ISIS

01:17:54.760 and the ISIS caliphate,

01:17:56.760 and just as,

01:17:57.620 unlike the situation we're in today,

01:17:59.840 we had a very, very strong border,

01:18:02.200 the strongest border, in fact,

01:18:03.780 in the history of our country,

01:18:05.580 and drugs were at a low of 40...

01:18:10.480 All right.

01:18:11.240 Can you see me again on Locals?

01:18:19.320 Could you hear that?

01:18:22.460 Could you hear the audio?

01:18:24.700 Oh, you could...

01:18:25.240 So if I click a video,

01:18:27.260 you just go dark, right?

01:18:28.460 All right.

01:18:28.800 Sorry about that.

01:18:30.880 All right.

01:18:31.280 So the part that I heard,

01:18:33.140 that the YouTube people heard,

01:18:34.460 is that Trump said

01:18:36.600 he would fight the cartels

01:18:38.040 like he fought ISIS.

01:18:48.900 I hereby endorse President Trump

01:18:52.840 for 2024.

01:18:58.760 I'm in.

01:19:00.560 I only ask for one thing.

01:19:02.980 He's the only one who's offered it.

01:19:05.080 Only one person said it clearly.

01:19:07.760 And that's as clearly

01:19:08.780 as you can say it.

01:19:09.780 And by the way,

01:19:10.340 I give him A plus for that.

01:19:12.180 As clearly as you can say it,

01:19:14.600 he said we're going to treat

01:19:15.720 the cartels like ISIS.

01:19:18.220 There is nothing

01:19:19.520 I wanted to hear more than that.

01:19:22.500 Nothing.

01:19:23.440 Because you know what

01:19:24.020 treat them like ISIS means?

01:19:25.680 Invade fucking...

01:19:26.620 I'm sorry.

01:19:27.580 Invade Mexico.

01:19:30.200 That's what that means.

01:19:31.560 That means that we will not respect

01:19:33.320 the territorial integrity

01:19:34.720 of Mexico.

01:19:35.700 And we're going to take care of business.

01:19:37.200 That's what I wanted to hear.

01:19:38.700 I wanted to hear somebody say,

01:19:40.480 if you put me in charge,

01:19:42.060 I will not respect

01:19:43.120 the territorial integrity

01:19:44.560 of Mexico.

01:19:46.340 Now, he didn't say that directly,

01:19:47.740 but he said we'll treat them

01:19:48.640 like ISIS.

01:19:49.700 I don't know how else

01:19:50.680 you can interpret that.

01:19:51.640 because we're not going to

01:19:53.560 respect anybody's

01:19:54.740 territorial integrity

01:19:55.860 over ISIS.

01:19:59.020 We've proved that.

01:20:00.460 He said everything

01:20:01.360 I wanted to hear.

01:20:03.600 If he had said

01:20:04.900 we're going to bomb them,

01:20:05.740 I'm not sure that would be

01:20:06.540 a complete picture.

01:20:07.900 But when he says

01:20:08.720 we're going to treat them

01:20:09.420 like ISIS,

01:20:11.040 I'm all in.

01:20:12.640 I'm all in.

01:20:14.640 I think I'll tweet it.

01:20:17.940 It caused some trouble today.

01:20:19.300 Yeah, let's make it official.

01:20:24.540 You know, I really wasn't

01:20:25.420 expecting that.

01:20:26.820 I'm not even sure

01:20:27.680 if I like it.

01:20:29.260 Because I don't want

01:20:30.140 a president that age, honestly.

01:20:32.560 But let's cause

01:20:33.920 some trouble here.

01:20:36.360 Where the fuck?

01:20:38.860 All right, we're going to tweet.

01:20:45.260 Endorse.

01:20:47.760 Do I call him

01:20:48.660 President Trump

01:20:49.460 or Trump?

01:20:51.220 What is the

01:20:52.120 Yeah, this is a promise.

01:20:54.240 So I'm keeping my promise.

01:20:56.160 Do we call him

01:20:56.900 President Trump?

01:20:58.200 Even X, right?

01:21:00.640 Okay, we'll do that.

01:21:06.000 For

01:21:06.440 2024.

01:21:11.580 Based solely.

01:21:12.660 I'm going to say solely

01:21:13.840 on

01:21:15.640 on his

01:21:18.640 promise

01:21:21.020 to treat

01:21:25.060 the cartels

01:21:27.900 like

01:21:29.480 ISIS.

01:21:34.300 I endorse

01:21:35.260 President Trump

01:21:35.880 for 2024

01:21:36.600 based solely

01:21:37.960 on his promise

01:21:38.760 to treat the cartels

01:21:39.900 like ISIS.

01:21:40.540 I'm

01:21:42.240 a

01:21:43.340 one

01:21:44.340 issue

01:21:47.000 voter.

01:21:53.040 Boom.

01:21:56.060 Well, there's your

01:21:57.080 headline.

01:21:57.960 now, we

01:22:03.560 already know that

01:22:04.340 Trump wants to

01:22:05.220 ban

01:22:05.460 TikTok.

01:22:06.380 He didn't get it

01:22:07.100 done, but I feel

01:22:08.900 like he could get it

01:22:09.800 done.

01:22:14.760 You know, I

01:22:15.760 said I had one

01:22:17.140 criteria.

01:22:18.100 I'm a single issue

01:22:19.120 voter.

01:22:20.420 That's it.

01:22:21.000 And by the way, I

01:22:22.860 don't think I would

01:22:23.460 believe a Democrat

01:22:24.320 who said the same

01:22:25.100 thing, would you?

01:22:27.340 This was exactly

01:22:28.840 what I wanted.

01:22:30.700 Now it's a fight.

01:22:31.860 Now it's

01:22:32.200 interesting.

01:22:33.320 I'm all in now.

01:22:34.800 I'm all in.

01:22:37.460 Do you know

01:22:38.020 what I care about

01:22:38.640 January 6th?

01:22:40.060 Nothing.

01:22:41.680 Nothing.

01:22:43.880 Suppose Trump

01:22:44.640 did everything

01:22:45.200 he was accused

01:22:45.840 of.

01:22:46.920 Don't care.

01:22:48.620 Suppose there's

01:22:49.420 some new thing

01:22:50.140 that's like a

01:22:50.920 scandal that he

01:22:51.620 did.

01:22:52.400 Don't care.

01:22:53.440 I want to be

01:22:53.880 really clear that

01:22:55.320 I don't care about

01:22:56.120 anything else.

01:22:57.780 Single issue

01:22:58.460 voter.

01:22:59.400 Let's get one

01:23:00.100 thing done.

01:23:01.820 Let's just get

01:23:02.520 one thing done.

01:23:05.560 Yeah, the plan

01:23:06.480 was for Oracle to

01:23:07.380 manage TikTok in

01:23:08.300 the USA.

01:23:10.360 Sorry, that

01:23:11.380 doesn't get it

01:23:11.940 done.

01:23:13.100 Because that

01:23:14.960 would only be the

01:23:15.620 data.

01:23:16.700 The idea for

01:23:17.460 Oracle to manage

01:23:18.920 some data in the

01:23:19.720 United States was

01:23:20.940 only about data

01:23:21.780 security.

01:23:22.580 It wasn't about

01:23:23.200 managing the

01:23:23.820 algorithm.

01:23:24.740 The algorithm is

01:23:25.660 the dangerous

01:23:26.160 part.

01:23:27.520 Anything that

01:23:28.260 protects our

01:23:28.860 data but doesn't

01:23:30.460 affect the

01:23:30.900 algorithm is a

01:23:31.760 non-starter.

01:23:33.140 It's of minimal

01:23:34.340 interest to me.

01:23:36.940 Trump has been

01:23:37.700 searching for an

01:23:38.360 issue to run on.

01:23:39.240 Well, he found

01:23:39.700 one.

01:23:41.060 He got one.

01:23:41.720 I'll tell you,

01:23:44.640 Trump's political

01:23:45.600 instincts are

01:23:48.400 really sharp.

01:23:50.280 Really sharp.

01:23:55.580 They just caught

01:23:56.540 the largest drug

01:23:57.360 lord in Mexico

01:23:58.160 before Biden's

01:23:59.160 visit.

01:24:00.160 Is that true?

01:24:01.660 I doubt it.

01:24:07.660 Boebert nominates

01:24:08.560 Trump today.

01:24:09.180 Are you just

01:24:10.440 guessing or is

01:24:11.340 that happening?

01:24:12.400 Oh, El Chapo's

01:24:13.200 son.

01:24:14.380 What is...

01:24:15.340 Look at how

01:24:22.840 quickly all the

01:24:23.740 clot talk goes
