Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1989 Scott Adams： The Hypnotist Persuasion Filter Applied To Headlines

00:00:00.000 civilization. Nothing's ever been better. Nothing ever will be. But today you're in the perfect

00:00:06.320 place. Everything's coming together today. I promise you today will be one of my best

00:00:11.440 live streams of all time. Sometimes the headlines are just made for me. Today is one of those days.

00:00:19.060 And if you'd like to join me in a peak experience, one of the best things that's ever happened,

00:00:23.860 all you need is a cupper mugger, a glass of tanker, chalice of stein, a canteen, a jug, a flask,

00:00:29.840 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now in the

00:00:37.180 unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:41.300 It's called the simultaneous sip. Go.

00:00:47.880 Well, I love you right back, broker Natalie. We all love each other.

00:00:53.860 Well, have I ever told you that I'm proud of my prediction from 20 years ago or so that even a

00:01:07.360 little bit of alcohol isn't good for you? Well, the New York Times has an article today that I did not

00:01:12.160 bother to read because the headlines agreed with me. That's a good rule of thumb. We know now that

00:01:18.640 the headline of articles don't have much correlation to the actual article.

00:01:23.860 I don't know when that started, but it's definitely a thing that the headline and the article don't

00:01:29.440 match. So when I see a headline that I agree with, I don't read the article because I want to buy into

00:01:38.340 the headline. But if I disagree with the headline, well, I'll read the article to find out the headline

00:01:43.440 is misleading. That's the way I play it. How do you play it? Different. All right. Well, here's an

00:01:49.300 example of that. So we can't trust any scientific study. I think we've all learned that. But according

00:01:54.660 to the New York Times, even a little bit of alcohol can harm your health, research shows.

00:02:01.340 Now, does this mean I'm right because the newer research agrees with what I predicted 20 years ago?

00:02:08.200 No. No, unfortunately. Unfortunately, no. But I do feel as if the tide is turning. Even if it's only

00:02:20.480 the tide of what they're reporting, who knows what the truth is. But it did seem to me that this was an

00:02:26.100 obvious thing that would happen in the future. Now, sometimes you can just predict the future

00:02:31.440 by saying, what is something that everybody believes to be true? And just predict the opposite.

00:02:39.680 And if you wait long enough, somebody's going to have some science that says, you know, everything

00:02:43.980 you believed was true about everything. It was all wrong. I think you'd be right about 80% of the time.

00:02:53.080 You could just pick any topic that science says is definitely true. Oh, we all agree this is true.

00:02:58.760 And just say it isn't. And wait 20 years. See what happens. You'll look like a prophet 80% of the time.

00:03:07.000 20% of the time, maybe smoking is bad for you, and that's never going to change.

00:03:12.680 Everything else, subject to interpretation. Well, I asked this question

00:03:17.120 on social media, on Twitter. I asked, this was a poll just for the men.

00:03:25.340 Just for the men. And he asked if the men had ever, ever met a woman with fewer problems than their own.

00:03:36.900 60% of the respondents said no, that the women they met, all of them, had more problems than they do.

00:03:44.920 All of them. Barely every woman they've ever met.

00:03:47.400 But how many men, we'll just see how good you are here.

00:03:52.840 How many men do you think responded that they have met women who have fewer problems than they do?

00:04:00.980 Oh, wow. You're really close.

00:04:03.880 26%. How do you do it?

00:04:06.380 Without even seeing the poll, you knew the answer to that.

00:04:10.080 So good. So smart.

00:04:12.760 Smartest audience ever.

00:04:13.900 Yeah, 20, 26%.

00:04:16.380 Now, here's my hypothesis behind that.

00:04:21.120 That the way men find happiness and meaning is giving women what they want.

00:04:30.300 Which usually is directly or indirectly revolving around procreation and creating the next generation.

00:04:38.820 Women, however, have a slightly different operating system.

00:04:45.560 And this is based on my observation.

00:04:48.380 That they have to have more problems than the guy they're with, or at least present that they do.

00:04:53.640 Because that's how they get the guy to activate.

00:04:56.200 Because the guy isn't going to activate just on, you know, a casual preference, maybe.

00:05:01.680 But, oh, I'm going to die if I don't, you know, turn up the heat.

00:05:06.120 If I don't eat in 10 minutes, you know, I'll be killing somebody.

00:05:11.680 Right.

00:05:12.440 So, have you ever tried to tell a woman you have a problem?

00:05:15.400 Well, they can top you pretty quickly.

00:05:20.420 Maybe I just don't have many problems.

00:05:21.960 I don't know.

00:05:22.740 I wondered for a while if it was just me.

00:05:25.340 I used to think, I must have an unusually small number of problems.

00:05:32.040 I must have, there must be something about me where I've just solved all my problems.

00:05:37.140 And then it occurred to me, maybe I should ask other men.

00:05:41.020 Because maybe they're having the same experience.

00:05:42.760 That's why I did the poll.

00:05:44.620 Sure enough, men have the impression, and again, it would just be an impression,

00:05:49.580 and there's nothing scientific about the poll.

00:05:52.200 But just the impression that the women have more problems.

00:05:55.140 But I think it has more to do with the fact that the women's operating system

00:05:58.600 is to communicate the problem.

00:06:01.620 And the man's operating system is to look strong and to maybe hide the problem.

00:06:07.180 Now, it probably gets reversed when you go to the doctor.

00:06:10.260 I hear.

00:06:10.700 You know, I hear that men are taken more seriously at the doctor.

00:06:15.920 I mean, maybe.

00:06:17.120 That could be true.

00:06:18.940 But in general, in general, would you agree with the hypothesis?

00:06:23.660 There's no proof here.

00:06:24.800 There's no science.

00:06:25.520 But would you agree that it's a reasonable hypothesis

00:06:28.160 that women need to present themselves as the one with more problems?

00:06:32.580 And there's nothing wrong with it.

00:06:35.740 It's probably the way everything works.

00:06:38.160 You know, it doesn't necessarily mean it's broken.

00:06:39.980 It's just the way it is.

00:06:43.080 All right.

00:06:44.260 Well, that got you quiet.

00:06:45.820 You saw this story.

00:06:49.980 It was a few days ago about the cousin of one of the Black Lives Matter founders

00:06:55.640 was stopped by the police, and he seemed to be pretty hopped up on some drug

00:07:01.300 or combination of drugs.

00:07:02.580 And he resisted arrest, if you can call it that, by trying to sneak away, run away.

00:07:11.780 But he was hallucinating and he was in bad shape.

00:07:15.340 But in the process of resisting arrest, as it has been interpreted by those who watch the

00:07:22.100 body cam photos, that he died.

00:07:25.400 But he got tasered majorly, and he was held down, and some combination of things killed him.

00:07:32.420 Now, I read the comments about it, and besides the obvious irony that he's related to a Black

00:07:39.540 Lives Matter founder, most of the people who saw it said, well, what do you expect?

00:07:45.980 If he was involved in something that looked like a traffic accident or something, maybe

00:07:52.300 criminal, they weren't sure.

00:07:53.340 But he resisted arrest.

00:07:56.160 What are they supposed to do?

00:07:58.440 What are the police supposed to do?

00:08:00.740 Well, I have a suggestion based on persuasion.

00:08:05.700 It looked like the police officer was doing everything he could to take this guy who was

00:08:12.780 obviously in a psychotic episode, whether any part was natural, we don't know.

00:08:18.140 But at the very least, he was probably on drugs.

00:08:20.000 So the police officer was trying to keep this frame of the real world, right?

00:08:26.340 What is real?

00:08:27.700 What is not real?

00:08:28.880 Well, this guy's in full-out hallucination.

00:08:31.660 Are you surprised that a police officer who tried to keep things in the realm of what's

00:08:36.500 real didn't get a good outcome with somebody who was fully hallucinating?

00:08:41.100 That should not be a surprise.

00:08:42.420 What it looked like to me is a gap in training.

00:08:47.580 And I'm not going to say under-trained.

00:08:49.760 I'm not going to say under-trained, because they're probably trained up.

00:08:53.480 But I feel like there's a gap.

00:08:55.480 And here's the gap from the field of hypnosis.

00:08:57.780 How would a hypnotist have handled that same situation?

00:09:02.720 How would I have handled it?

00:09:04.380 I'll tell you.

00:09:05.420 If I had been that police officer, the moment I realized that my frame of what is true and

00:09:11.660 real, according to me, didn't have any impact on the person, what do you do?

00:09:17.700 When you know that you can't bring the person into your frame, what do you do?

00:09:22.960 Here's what a hypnotist does.

00:09:26.440 You join their frame.

00:09:28.800 You join the frame.

00:09:30.940 If you can't get them to your frame, you have to join their frame.

00:09:33.420 Because what you don't want to do is be in different frames.

00:09:36.280 That's how somebody gets killed.

00:09:38.260 Here's how I do it.

00:09:40.080 I'm forgetting some of the crazy stuff he was saying.

00:09:43.120 But he was saying that people were trying to kill him.

00:09:46.620 And he was saying that he needed some water.

00:09:50.040 And he needed things, right?

00:09:52.120 So the police officer was doing what looked like a really professional job of keeping

00:09:59.040 his cool, being consistent and firm, but he didn't get what he wanted, and then things

00:10:05.500 went off the rails.

00:10:08.780 Here's what he could have done.

00:10:10.760 He could have entered the frame.

00:10:12.320 This is what I would have done.

00:10:13.600 And I have done this in lots of situations, not obviously a dangerous one.

00:10:19.180 But in lots of situations, you just enter the frame.

00:10:21.380 Here's how you do it.

00:10:22.780 Somebody's trying to kill you?

00:10:24.780 All right.

00:10:25.220 Here's what we're going to do.

00:10:26.520 I'm going to look like I'm arresting you, and you'll be safe.

00:10:30.600 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:10:31.340 I know.

00:10:31.960 So let's do this as quickly as possible.

00:10:34.600 Get in the car.

00:10:35.600 Get in the car.

00:10:36.560 I think somebody's after you.

00:10:37.900 I think I saw somebody.

00:10:39.720 I believe you.

00:10:40.940 I believe you.

00:10:41.760 Quick.

00:10:42.240 Make it look like you're getting arrested.

00:10:44.160 We'll get you in the car.

00:10:45.100 We'll get you to safety as soon as possible, and then you can talk to us, and we'll help

00:10:49.020 you out.

00:10:50.980 That's how you enter the illusion.

00:10:55.400 Now, let's say you said, but I need water.

00:10:57.400 I need water right now.

00:10:58.420 You say, oh, God.

00:10:59.660 Yeah, you look dehydrated.

00:11:01.680 Let's get you some water as soon as possible.

00:11:03.920 Yeah, yeah.

00:11:04.460 Let's get you some water.

00:11:06.760 We've got some water coming.

00:11:08.760 Can you sit down here and wait for it?

00:11:10.020 The water's coming, right?

00:11:12.180 Now, those are, you know, just the quick, off the top of my head examples.

00:11:17.220 But what it looks to me is that the police officers are not trained with that specific

00:11:22.680 technique, right?

00:11:26.400 Have you ever heard of a police officer trained to enter an illusion?

00:11:30.420 I've never seen it in action, but, you know, I haven't seen every police stop in the world.

00:11:35.880 Yeah.

00:11:36.440 It feels like a gap in the training.

00:11:38.080 And the reason I'm not going to say they're under-trained is because I doubt that's ever

00:11:42.560 been offered.

00:11:44.100 Like, I doubt there's anything in the police curriculum or training that would cover that

00:11:47.680 very specific recommendation.

00:11:51.680 Anyway.

00:11:52.820 So, I'll just put that out there.

00:11:56.240 I saw in a Mike Cervich feed, he was talking about, there's some science.

00:12:02.700 Apparently, this has been well-known for a long time.

00:12:04.800 It's been well-known for a long time that if you get a heart transplant, it's common to

00:12:10.560 take on the personality of the person who donated the heart.

00:12:14.680 What?

00:12:16.460 Did you know that?

00:12:17.360 I didn't know that until just recently.

00:12:21.840 Apparently, it's well-understood by people who do, you know, organ transplants.

00:12:27.880 It's just a known thing.

00:12:30.060 Now, here's what I would like to add to that conversation.

00:12:33.480 If you think that your body or yourself is a mind, that's one thing, does all the thinking,

00:12:44.320 and then a body, that's a separate thing that does the moving.

00:12:47.880 And, of course, they work together.

00:12:49.200 You know, the mind tells the body what to move.

00:12:51.120 If that's your view of a human, it's very incomplete and misleading.

00:12:58.040 Here's my view of a human.

00:13:01.020 All of this is your brain.

00:13:03.000 It's all your brain.

00:13:04.900 Because your personality will completely change based on what's happening to your body.

00:13:10.820 If you're hungry, your brain goes a different way.

00:13:14.340 If you're angry, not angry.

00:13:15.600 If you're cold, if you're horny, if you're sick, if you're like this poor gentleman who died in the traffic stop,

00:13:27.220 if you're agitated, right?

00:13:29.760 And I often tell you that I use my body as a sensor to know how to write humor.

00:13:36.300 And this is the advantage that humans have over AI.

00:13:38.880 When I'm going through the potential jokes I could write, I'm not mentally deciding if they're good.

00:13:47.540 Mentally, I'm just deciding if they have the joke form.

00:13:51.000 But deciding if it's funny, I do with my body.

00:13:55.020 I actually monitor my body and say, okay, did I guffaw?

00:13:59.160 Did I laugh out loud?

00:14:00.620 Did I have a reaction?

00:14:02.000 Did I have any kind of physical experience?

00:14:04.340 So for me, the brain and the body are just always working as one to think.

00:14:11.520 To me, my body is thinking all the time.

00:14:14.920 So when people talk about, you know, I had a gut feeling,

00:14:17.900 I think that actually comes from some kind of, you know, shadow understanding that your body actually is a brain.

00:14:25.440 It's part of your brain.

00:14:26.880 Yeah.

00:14:27.120 In so many ways, the body is the brain.

00:14:29.320 And if you think of it that way, and that would be a reframe, if you think of it that way, I think it explains more.

00:14:38.100 Right?

00:14:38.340 It'll explain more of your observations of life.

00:14:41.840 All right.

00:14:42.460 That was interesting.

00:14:44.320 Here's another persuasion-related suggestion.

00:14:49.660 You know, obviously, drug addiction is a huge problem in this country.

00:14:53.800 And we don't have any way to deal with it.

00:14:55.900 We have lots of rehabs and programs, but they're unfortunately not that successful.

00:15:03.260 Like, a really good success rate for rehab would be, you tell me, what would any one rehab facility,

00:15:12.560 what percentage of people leave the rehab and then never drink?

00:15:16.540 It's really low, right?

00:15:17.980 Ten.

00:15:18.740 I'm thinking ten, twenty percent.

00:15:20.700 Tops, ten, twenty percent.

00:15:23.380 Some are saying seventy-five, but I don't think so.

00:15:25.140 I think it's seventy-five when they walk out the door, but it doesn't take long to fall back into it.

00:15:31.880 Yeah.

00:15:32.200 I'm feeling this in the twenty percent range.

00:15:34.760 Now, here's what I think they get wrong.

00:15:37.880 When you try to make a drug addict recover, you take them to a terrible environment, rehab.

00:15:44.980 You take away all their entertainment, their phones or iPads and stuff.

00:15:50.160 You take away all their access to their friends and their loved ones.

00:15:53.980 And you give them a boring little room that might be worse than the one they have at home.

00:15:59.480 So basically, you take away all their sources of pleasure as well as the drugs.

00:16:03.680 And then you say, hey, how do you like that?

00:16:07.100 How do you like it without the drugs, but also, also, without any other form of pleasure?

00:16:12.400 How do we think that would ever work?

00:16:17.300 To me, that is how you would design the system to make somebody an addict.

00:16:23.060 If you wanted to turn somebody into an addict, I would say, all right, here's your life without the drugs.

00:16:31.900 We take away all your fun.

00:16:34.080 And here's your life with the drugs.

00:16:36.160 Not only do you have the drug fun, but all the other fun, if you have any fun.

00:16:42.900 So here's what I would do instead.

00:16:45.580 I wouldn't do a rehab building, like a one house.

00:16:50.760 I think you need to build a town, a rehab town.

00:16:55.780 It needs to be walled off, and absolutely nothing gets in.

00:16:59.840 And you would literally have to be watching for drones and people throwing stuff over them.

00:17:03.720 So you'd have to drug test everybody once a week.

00:17:07.180 And if you get drugs inside those city walls, you've got to be gone.

00:17:12.040 Like, that's got to be, you know, no mercy if you don't pass the drug test.

00:17:16.440 So you have a little town, but you make the town way better than normal people's life.

00:17:23.760 It's just beautiful.

00:17:25.780 There's something to do.

00:17:27.340 There's a place to walk.

00:17:28.760 There's a nice, maybe a nice gym.

00:17:31.060 You get people organized so that they're doing things with each other.

00:17:34.640 They're meeting some people, making some connections.

00:17:37.200 And they get a taste of what it could be if they did everything right and didn't have alcohol.

00:17:45.460 Now, in theory, it should make you say, you know, the best year of my life was in a rehab town.

00:17:54.220 You know, whatever that's called.

00:17:55.820 The best year of my life.

00:17:56.800 I remember Mike Tyson.

00:18:01.480 He said that the best years of his life were in prison because it cleared his mind for the first time ever.

00:18:08.780 Now, I don't think he literally meant that, but there's something to it.

00:18:13.560 You know, there's something to having an environment that's right for the situation.

00:18:18.960 So here's my, so Catherine says, unrealistic.

00:18:24.360 So I don't disagree with that.

00:18:27.760 All of the treatments for everything you can do about drug addiction is unfeasible.

00:18:34.960 That's the problem.

00:18:36.400 We don't have any ideas that we know work.

00:18:39.120 So what I would do is try everything.

00:18:41.460 Try everything.

00:18:43.300 I know Michael Schellenberger and others have said, you really have to, you know, force people into treatment.

00:18:52.420 It's the only thing we know that works.

00:18:54.360 And what doesn't work is giving them open-air, free drugs.

00:18:59.740 I think there's still stuff to test in the domain of legalization.

00:19:05.320 I think there's probably a right way and a wrong way to do it.

00:19:08.500 The wrong way to do it is to have a place where everybody hangs out.

00:19:13.240 That feels like exactly the wrong way to do it.

00:19:17.360 Potentially a right way to do it would be to say, all right, you're a drug addict at risk, but you also hold down a job and you have a family.

00:19:27.560 So we're not going to treat you like everybody else.

00:19:30.900 We're going to say, for you, let's try this.

00:19:34.320 For you, it's going to be legal and we're going to give you a clean source of supply and also all the resources for breaking the addiction if you want to.

00:19:44.120 But you're going to have to do it on your own.

00:19:46.460 You have to do it on your own.

00:19:47.400 We're not even going to try to get you into rehab, but we will make sure that you don't get any bad drugs.

00:19:53.000 We'll just make sure you've got a clean supply.

00:19:55.100 Just see what happens.

00:19:56.720 Now, if you say, Scott, Scott, Scott, you don't understand anything about lives or addicts or something, that wouldn't work.

00:20:05.260 I'm saying you're answering the wrong question.

00:20:07.620 The question is not yes or no, will it work?

00:20:09.820 The question is, are we really that smart that we know in advance everything that will work?

00:20:16.360 It's not about how you implemented it.

00:20:18.320 It's always about the idea and it's obvious.

00:20:20.380 No, you have to test stuff.

00:20:22.760 You might surprise yourself.

00:20:24.520 And you might surprise yourself because you're testing one thing and maybe it doesn't work out.

00:20:29.480 But somebody involved is smart and they try, like, something within the thing.

00:20:33.620 And then accidentally you've discovered something that worked.

00:20:36.960 You know, that's how life works.

00:20:37.960 You've got to do something, right?

00:20:39.700 You're not going to solve it by not doing anything because you don't know what to do.

00:20:43.380 Just try some stuff.

00:20:45.060 Try legalization in a variety of forms.

00:20:48.400 The open air thing looks crazy.

00:20:50.340 I wouldn't try that again.

00:20:52.140 But I'm glad it was tried.

00:20:54.400 I'm glad it was tried and I'm glad that Michael Schellenberger shot it down when it didn't work.

00:20:59.020 You know, largely.

00:20:59.820 He was the biggest part of that.

00:21:02.020 So I don't mind trying stuff that doesn't work.

00:21:05.600 Because we don't know what works.

00:21:08.340 All right.

00:21:09.920 Here's some more persuasion theme.

00:21:13.060 And part of my theme of defending people who can't defend themselves.

00:21:17.680 Right?

00:21:18.080 I'm now going to defend yet another person that most of you are really mad at.

00:21:24.060 And then I'm going to do it again.

00:21:26.080 At least two of them today.

00:21:27.220 And I'm going to defend the first one because he does not have Twitter access at the moment.

00:21:33.600 Sam Harris.

00:21:34.180 Now, I was alerted to a Sam Harris video in which the person tweeting it said,

00:21:41.640 Oh, my God, there he is saying that he wishes more kids had died from COVID.

00:21:46.700 So we take COVID more seriously.

00:21:49.220 And then people would get the vaccinations.

00:21:51.500 If only children were dying.

00:21:53.600 Okay.

00:21:54.620 Now, here's the first question.

00:21:56.640 This is the persuasion filter.

00:21:59.640 If the only thing you heard was that Sam Harris said he wishes more children had died,

00:22:05.900 what should be your first reaction to that?

00:22:11.280 Horror?

00:22:12.420 Would horror be your first reaction?

00:22:14.100 Or would your first reaction be, obviously, that never happened?

00:22:20.880 Like, obviously, obviously, that never happened.

00:22:25.300 But there was the video.

00:22:27.540 There was the video.

00:22:28.860 And there was the summary of it.

00:22:31.420 And there were all the comments saying, yeah, there it is.

00:22:35.380 So he said it, right?

00:22:37.920 He must have said it because all those people heard it.

00:22:40.980 I mean, a lot of people saw it.

00:22:42.200 And it wasn't edited.

00:22:44.020 It didn't look like.

00:22:45.700 It looked like he really said it.

00:22:48.260 So I read it myself.

00:22:50.940 Nothing like that was in the article, in the video.

00:22:54.580 Absolutely nothing like that.

00:22:56.880 Not even close.

00:22:59.180 And so I called it out and said, the video doesn't have anything like that in it.

00:23:04.600 And then people said, yes, it does.

00:23:06.520 What, are you crazy?

00:23:08.040 Yes, it does.

00:23:10.420 But it doesn't.

00:23:12.200 It doesn't.

00:23:14.020 Here's what he said.

00:23:15.620 Now, I'm going to paraphrase it.

00:23:16.980 So these are my words.

00:23:18.260 But this is what I heard.

00:23:20.260 What I heard, again, this is just me paraphrasing what I think he said.

00:23:23.820 What I heard was the nature of the virus makes it especially difficult to manage in a public way.

00:23:34.220 And here's why.

00:23:35.780 Because the group that is most targeted, the virus targets old people.

00:23:42.000 And so you can never be sure, was it the virus or was it not?

00:23:46.360 And therefore, public discourse gets confused.

00:23:51.280 Because some people say, well, maybe they're just dying anyway.

00:23:56.160 Maybe it's not COVID.

00:23:58.060 You're not really sure.

00:23:59.620 So it's really hard to create a public policy because there's some ambiguity about who's at risk.

00:24:06.420 Are they counting the numbers right?

00:24:08.260 And all that.

00:24:08.860 Now, here was his point.

00:24:11.380 Hypothetically, and it wasn't a preference for God's sakes.

00:24:15.500 He said, hypothetically, if this virus had been preferentially killing children, how would we treat it?

00:24:22.860 We would say we don't care if the science is right or wrong.

00:24:28.300 We would not care about the science.

00:24:30.680 If you saw children dying at the rate that the older people were dying, we would have just done whatever we had to do.

00:24:39.660 And his argument was that a lot of people who are anti-vax, to save grandma, if you said, all right, do you want to take this vaccination that you don't feel is fully trustworthy?

00:24:52.860 Do you want to take a, you know, a sketchy thing to save grandma who's 80?

00:24:58.300 What does a reasonable person say?

00:25:01.160 A reasonable person says maybe not, right?

00:25:04.380 Some say yes, and that's also reasonable.

00:25:07.440 But you could certainly be reasonable and say, you know, grandma's only got two more years.

00:25:13.040 But that's a big thing to put in me and have me worry about it for the rest of my life, right?

00:25:18.540 Because here's what people forget.

00:25:20.020 People forget that your mental state is part of your health because, again, they separate brain and body like they're two different things.

00:25:28.420 It's just one machine.

00:25:29.700 They're just the same thing.

00:25:31.160 If you have a serious, serious concern about your own safety from a vaccination, so-called vaccination, that is part of your health.

00:25:42.700 Right, why would I want to give you a mental problem to have you less chance of a, you know, a serious virus?

00:25:51.240 I'm not even sure that would make sense medically, would it?

00:25:54.200 And here's what the medical community gets totally wrong about what I'll call the anti-vaxxers.

00:25:58.860 They're completely ignoring the fact that their mental state, you know, what they feel about the risk, what they feel about being abused, what they feel about having their rights taken away, what they feel about having something put in their arm they don't want.

00:26:15.920 Like, that is also their health.

00:26:17.800 It's not just their body.

00:26:21.660 So the moment you say your health is just your body and what happens to grandma, you've ignored a huge, huge part of the medical decision, which is what's it going to do to your brain?

00:26:34.340 I mean, psychologically, not even spike protein-wise.

00:26:38.920 So, I think that Sam Harris made an interesting point that I found was added value in a philosophical way, but has no bearing on what's happening today, right?

00:26:55.400 It doesn't tell you to do anything differently.

00:26:57.520 It's sort of an interesting point.

00:26:59.500 But nowhere, nowhere did he say he had some preference for children dying from the virus.

00:27:05.320 If you really had to listen to it, to know he didn't say that, you have to ask yourself, have you been too hypnotized by the narrative?

00:27:17.360 Like, to imagine he actually said that in public, one of the most, let's say, careful speakers and best communicators of our time,

00:27:27.380 somebody who's totally tapped into, you know, what things sound like when you say them, there's no way he said that.

00:27:35.520 It's crazy.

00:27:36.880 But people saw it, because people see what they're primed to see.

00:27:40.320 So, that's your persuasion lesson.

00:27:44.440 You know who's having a great week?

00:27:47.200 Matt Gaetz and, weirdly, Kevin McCarthy at the same time.

00:27:52.520 I cannot be, I don't think I could tell you how impressed I am that Matt Gaetz turned the ship around for his own political fortunes.

00:28:03.180 I did not see that coming.

00:28:05.780 Honestly, I thought he was done.

00:28:08.720 But not only is he cleared of all the accusations, you know, at least in a legal sense, he's cleared of all accusations.

00:28:16.380 But his move to force McCarthy to give, you know, some Republicans what they wanted totally was successful.

00:28:26.200 And then what do we have now?

00:28:28.280 Gates was on Tucker talking about how happy he was that Kevin McCarthy had decided to release all of the January 6 footage,

00:28:37.520 which is something Republicans have been asking for for a long time.

00:28:40.200 And apparently that wasn't even part of what they negotiated.

00:28:44.100 So, Matt Gaetz is on Tucker Carlson saying Kevin McCarthy is doing a great job.

00:28:53.020 Apparently they're friends now, or at least, you know, working colleagues.

00:28:56.480 So, I don't think it gets better than that, if you're a Republican.

00:29:02.280 Have you ever been happier with your party than to watch the, you know, the Gates group fight McCarthy?

00:29:10.040 All transparent.

00:29:12.060 You got to watch it all.

00:29:14.360 It was a serious fight over serious things.

00:29:17.620 The net outcome was an improvement, according to Republicans.

00:29:21.800 And then they became friends again, and they started working like colleagues.

00:29:27.280 Now, I don't know how much they like each other personally, but clearly they can now work together.

00:29:31.980 They've now shown each other the level of respect that both of them earned.

00:29:37.320 I think they both earned the respect that each is giving them.

00:29:40.960 And you're seeing a good outcome at the moment.

00:29:43.340 So, wow.

00:29:44.820 Has anybody had a better week than both McCarthy and Gates?

00:29:49.600 And they had this good week because they fought, but they did it honestly.

00:29:54.960 Right?

00:29:55.140 It was an honest fight.

00:29:56.740 And it was well fought.

00:29:58.600 It was a hard fight.

00:29:59.600 It was everything you want.

00:30:01.720 Now, let's talk about everything you don't want.

00:30:04.720 Mike Pompeo tweeted,

00:30:06.640 Weak border policies are the root cause of our fentanyl crisis.

00:30:10.360 No, Mike Pompeo, that is disqualifying.

00:30:20.740 Assuming he's running for president, that's totally disqualifying.

00:30:25.360 How could he hold the jobs that he's held and know nothing about fentanyl?

00:30:30.260 Or does he understand fentanyl but doesn't want to deal with it seriously?

00:30:35.360 It's all disqualifying.

00:30:36.700 Trump says directly, now, of course, there's a question of whether he'd do it.

00:30:41.760 But Trump says directly he wants to spend the special forces in to kick the shit out of the cartels.

00:30:47.520 And Mike Pompeo is saying, like, let's make that wall a little stronger.

00:30:51.680 It's like he doesn't understand the weight of fentanyl.

00:30:54.900 You can literally just toss it over the wall.

00:30:57.240 It's like the size of a baseball and it's enough to kill a city.

00:31:00.560 So, border security is maybe 10% of it.

00:31:06.240 Maybe 10%.

00:31:07.080 And it's worth doing.

00:31:09.280 I'm 100% behind strong borders.

00:31:12.960 But we can't have a president whose understanding of one of the biggest issues that we have

00:31:19.120 is so thin or that he's, you know, misrepresenting his opinion.

00:31:24.940 Either one of those is disqualifying.

00:31:26.720 So, now do you see the point of being a single issue voter?

00:31:33.240 It's weirdly powerful.

00:31:35.460 Because I can direct fire as something specific.

00:31:39.700 It is now my job to make sure that Mike Pompeo does not get anywhere in the primary.

00:31:45.300 And it's only this issue.

00:31:47.240 Because I actually think he's pretty strong.

00:31:48.860 He seems like a pretty credible, straight shooter.

00:31:54.480 You know, otherwise, I liked him a lot, actually.

00:31:57.900 There would be plenty of things to criticize with all of them.

00:32:00.840 But generally speaking, I saw him as a serious candidate.

00:32:05.780 But now I can't.

00:32:07.140 I can't take him seriously.

00:32:08.620 This was a horrible mistake.

00:32:10.780 Now, it's one that he could correct.

00:32:12.680 Because you saw that Trump also has evolved on this.

00:32:16.120 I think Trump has evolved less on his thinking.

00:32:19.460 Because I think he probably always wanted to be tough on the cartels.

00:32:22.620 But I think he's evolved it in terms of what he's willing to say out loud.

00:32:27.180 So, I think he's got a little cover for saying that now.

00:32:30.780 All right.

00:32:32.000 So, Mike Pompeo.

00:32:33.460 I think, I hope he evolves on that.

00:32:35.420 You know, let me ask you this question.

00:32:42.700 When the stories first came out about the documents that Joe Biden had that were classified, sprinkled around,

00:32:49.580 Am I the first person you heard saying it sounded like a Democrat op to get rid of Joe Biden?

00:32:59.300 Because now a lot of people are saying it.

00:33:01.260 And I'm not saying that I influence the other people.

00:33:04.920 That's not my claim.

00:33:06.000 I didn't influence the people.

00:33:07.480 The people that I see saying it don't look like they're people who had been exposed to me.

00:33:12.560 So, you saw people say it before I said it.

00:33:14.680 So, I'm just wondering, did people spontaneously have the same feeling?

00:33:21.880 How about you personally?

00:33:23.460 Did you spontaneously, even before anybody said it, did you say, oh my God, this looks like an op?

00:33:29.320 A lot of yeses.

00:33:30.380 Okay.

00:33:30.720 All right.

00:33:31.060 Good.

00:33:31.840 Good.

00:33:33.480 Because it seemed to me that this was the sort of thing that a lot of people would have the same reaction.

00:33:38.300 Because you've now been primed.

00:33:40.480 You now know what an op looks like.

00:33:43.620 Right?

00:33:43.980 You know how complicated they could be.

00:33:46.260 You know how common they are.

00:33:48.020 And now you feel like you've seen the pattern, right?

00:33:50.920 There's a bit of a pattern about it.

00:33:53.240 Yeah.

00:33:56.320 But the interesting thing about this is it might be a twofer that I just realized today.

00:34:01.620 Now, tell me if you've heard this before.

00:34:03.960 So, this is a slight spin on that.

00:34:06.500 Just a slight one.

00:34:07.320 That it looks like a Democrat op to get rid of Biden before the primaries.

00:34:13.420 But it also looks like it's designed to protect Trump.

00:34:17.340 So, he's their preferred bogeyman candidate.

00:34:21.880 Right?

00:34:22.360 The twofer is that if Biden is being accused of these document troubles, then there's no way that Trump can get into the maximum trouble himself.

00:34:32.000 Like, it's going to make it all look like, oh, people do this.

00:34:35.360 It's just something that happens.

00:34:37.580 Now, I'm going to stop short of saying that it's a clever plot.

00:34:45.520 I'll just say it looks like one.

00:34:48.500 Would you accept that?

00:34:49.800 We don't really know, you know, who's behind what.

00:34:53.820 But it looks like one.

00:34:56.500 Now, who did I just see?

00:34:59.660 Who just appeared?

00:35:02.520 Help me.

00:35:03.540 Who was just on Smirconish?

00:35:07.240 Some prominent Republican was just on Smirconish.

00:35:11.180 Oh, Gates, right.

00:35:12.280 Yeah, Gates.

00:35:12.880 So, Gates, just think about this.

00:35:17.940 Matt Gates just had a very successful appearance on CNN.

00:35:23.700 He's now the only person who can do CNN and Fox News.

00:35:30.080 I mean, nobody has ever had a week this good that I can remember, like politically.

00:35:35.040 If Gates can do a good job on CNN as well as present a good job on Fox News, and he did both.

00:35:45.480 He did both.

00:35:47.280 This week.

00:35:48.940 No, who else has ever done that?

00:35:51.180 Like, ever.

00:35:53.280 I've never seen it.

00:35:54.880 I've never seen it.

00:35:55.720 Now, Matt Gates, quite wisely, tweeted the interview, and he said that Smirconish was really fair, and that he thinks CNN might be actually changing for the better.

00:36:08.700 But I would like to modify that comment, because you remember I've also said that Smirconish is the most fair interviewer on CNN.

00:36:21.040 I mean, my experience with Smirconish was that he did play it down the middle.

00:36:24.920 I was a little annoyed once when the producer had invited me on, and I said yes, and then they also invited on a critic of mine after I said yes.

00:36:36.520 Not cool.

00:36:38.220 Because the critic just, you know, uses up the time, and you don't have time to respond, so basically they just get slimed on camera.

00:36:46.980 But I have a feeling that had more to do with the producers than Smirconish.

00:36:50.480 Because my feeling about Smirconish is he's actually a good dude who's trying to do the right thing for the country, and he just happens to be on CNN.

00:36:59.180 So I'm not sure that Smirconish is a sign that CNN is improving.

00:37:05.020 It's more of a sign that Smirconish does a good job, I think.

00:37:09.260 But maybe both.

00:37:11.080 Maybe CNN's improving.

00:37:12.860 Because CNN's going pretty hard about this document thing.

00:37:15.780 Wouldn't you agree?

00:37:16.400 So it's either part of the plot to get rid of Biden, or they're just playing the news straight.

00:37:25.280 Might be one of those.

00:37:26.900 They would look the same.

00:37:29.040 All right.

00:37:30.620 I've got an idea.

00:37:32.960 Well, first of all, I have a theory for why so many documents, classified documents, keep being found by Biden.

00:37:39.340 I believe, and this is just speculation, but I believe that Biden, wherever he goes, he likes to leave a trail of classified documents,

00:37:52.220 because sometimes that's the only way he can find his way back.

00:37:55.440 So I think we're going to find, you know, not just documents, but we might find like an ant trail all the way from Delaware to the White House.

00:38:03.060 I'm just speculating.

00:38:03.960 I don't know.

00:38:04.940 I'm just trying to figure out why there's so many of them.

00:38:07.580 That's all.

00:38:07.900 All right.

00:38:10.700 Now, how did we get this far without knowing what the documents are about?

00:38:17.320 Right?

00:38:19.380 How did we...

00:38:20.420 Don't you think that somebody should have said, all right, we can't show you the documents, but we've looked at them, and they're either terrible or they're nothing.

00:38:29.820 So here's what I'd suggest.

00:38:31.000 I think that Biden's classified documents should be collected up and then put them in a skiff.

00:38:36.400 The skiff is that really highly secure place where you can't take a picture, you can't bring your phone in, you can't take a copy, you just have to read it where it is in that little skiff, that building.

00:38:48.300 And I think that they should put those documents in a skiff and then get somebody like Adam Schiff, for example, have Adam Schiff look at them and then tell us if we should be worried.

00:39:00.220 Because I feel like you'd look at them and say, oh, there's nothing here at all, and then everything's fine.

00:39:05.940 Because if you can't believe Adam Schiff, who can you believe?

00:39:14.860 All right.

00:39:17.120 That would be an example of jokes that don't need punchlines.

00:39:23.160 That's a joke that doesn't need a punchline, because Schiff is the punchline, I guess.

00:39:29.500 All right.

00:39:32.260 So here we know now the following things, or maybe we don't.

00:39:36.700 I still think it's a little early to know if all the facts are right.

00:39:40.620 So maybe some of these facts are wrong about Biden and the documents.

00:39:44.380 But here's what we think we know, that he had some of these documents in his garage.

00:39:49.440 And here's the part I need to fact check on, that Hunter Biden was renting the whole home during that period for $49,000 a month.

00:40:02.520 Is that confirmed?

00:40:06.860 Or is that just Internet BS?

00:40:10.960 Is that confirmed that he was renting it during the period those documents were there?

00:40:15.900 I know we've heard it, but is it true?

00:40:19.440 4chan confirmed it.

00:40:25.020 Yeah.

00:40:26.460 I don't know.

00:40:28.640 So here's what, if it's true, and I have a question on that.

00:40:34.020 So if it's true, shouldn't the rental payments be shown on Joe Biden's tax returns?

00:40:43.720 I don't think they are.

00:40:47.020 I don't think they're there.

00:40:49.440 So, he goes to jail, right?

00:40:58.920 Like, what else could it be?

00:41:00.800 If it's true that Hunter was paying $49,000 a month, and it's also true he didn't put it on his tax returns,

00:41:08.680 he goes to jail.

00:41:10.680 Like, actual jail.

00:41:11.860 Like, no doubt about it, jail.

00:41:15.840 Am I wrong?

00:41:18.480 Somebody do a fact check on me.

00:41:21.040 If it's not on his tax returns, and he actually did have a lease agreement and actually collected $49,000 a month,

00:41:29.500 he would have known he was cheating on his taxes, for sure.

00:41:33.840 He'd go to jail.

00:41:34.600 Now, why would he not put it on his tax returns?

00:41:41.820 Because at some point, you'd probably want to, you know, maybe launder it or something,

00:41:45.580 so it's good to get it taxed and keep what you can.

00:41:48.640 Why wouldn't he?

00:41:49.980 Well, I have a possible explanation.

00:41:53.880 And again, just to be clear, none of this is confirmed.

00:41:58.780 I'm not positive there was ever a rental agreement.

00:42:01.680 I'm not positive it happened at the same time as the documents.

00:42:05.000 And I'm not positive it's not on the tax returns.

00:42:08.140 But those are the facts that preliminary, we think, are true.

00:42:11.860 To me, it looks like a major crime.

00:42:15.340 If anybody had put, I got $600,000 a year from renting my house,

00:42:23.260 don't you think that would have been a red flag?

00:42:27.080 If he had put those real numbers, if they were real numbers,

00:42:30.960 I see somebody's got a document there, but tell me what that says so I don't have to open it.

00:42:37.840 If you rent it to your child, it's still taxable.

00:42:42.300 Or if it's not, then it's a gift tax.

00:42:46.340 Right?

00:42:46.940 If you treat it as a gift, and it's over $10,000 a year, or $15,000 I think now,

00:42:52.620 you would still have to record it on your taxes as a gift.

00:42:58.560 Yeah.

00:42:59.260 Yeah, so here's why.

00:43:00.640 I think it could not be on the taxes because we would have already known about it.

00:43:06.020 Right?

00:43:07.740 We would already know about it.

00:43:09.460 So probably not on the taxes.

00:43:11.040 So if this is what it looks like, then the Democrats really did take him down.

00:43:20.720 They really did.

00:43:22.200 I mean, I don't know how you could explain it any other way.

00:43:25.580 But I think we might find...

00:43:29.080 Yeah, imagine being the Biden accountant right now.

00:43:32.100 That would be awkward.

00:43:33.880 So I guess my main thing is, if this is true, then we have found how Hunter Biden launders money to his father,

00:43:43.220 the big guy, and gets him his 10%.

00:43:44.860 I think it's all laid down at this point.

00:43:49.360 It looks like their entire criminal enterprise is now transparent.

00:43:53.720 And it was accidental because we wouldn't have found out about this if it's true.

00:43:59.920 I guess I have to keep saying if it's true.

00:44:02.000 Maybe I should back off.

00:44:04.380 Oh, you know what I'm going to do?

00:44:06.660 I have to be consistent.

00:44:08.400 I have to be a little bit consistent.

00:44:09.900 I told you I'm going to defend people who can't defend themselves.

00:44:13.780 Hunter Biden's not on Twitter, right?

00:44:16.780 True?

00:44:17.880 Hunter Biden is not on Twitter.

00:44:20.300 I think that's true.

00:44:21.280 Or he's not tweeting much, if he is.

00:44:23.720 I don't like the quality of the information I'm talking about.

00:44:30.980 So I'm going to give him an innocent until proven guilty.

00:44:34.640 I think that has to be the standard.

00:44:36.800 Right?

00:44:37.300 So let's give him that.

00:44:39.500 Now, if the information that has been reported is true,

00:44:44.600 then I would drop the assumption of innocence.

00:44:48.160 To me, that would look obviously guilty.

00:44:50.860 But it has to be, these facts have to be true.

00:44:54.440 Right?

00:44:54.700 There really has to be a lease agreement.

00:44:56.760 There really has to be the transfer of money.

00:44:59.000 And it really has to not be on his taxes.

00:45:01.700 Like, all those things need to be true.

00:45:03.600 And then you can see it all.

00:45:05.680 But I don't know yet.

00:45:07.460 So let's keep an open mind.

00:45:09.480 It's hard to.

00:45:12.240 But it's a good standard to try to maintain.

00:45:16.980 There's more reports of UFOs.

00:45:19.600 So there were 350 reports of unidentified stuff.

00:45:24.080 And something like half of them, they figured out they were balloons and plastic bags that somehow got into the atmosphere.

00:45:31.500 The rest were unexplained.

00:45:35.040 Now, the unexplained ones, over 100 of them, unexplained, 100 recent ones unexplained,

00:45:41.500 they have this weird quality where they can, they'll be moving in one direction and suddenly they'll change directions.

00:45:48.140 And you know, you know that that would be a violation of physics, right?

00:45:54.220 Because if you had a, and it's moving like, I don't know, 100 miles an hour or something,

00:45:59.340 and then suddenly it just like goes in the other direction,

00:46:02.600 obviously that would be violating physics, right?

00:46:07.000 I wonder, I wonder if there's any kind of object that could be in the air,

00:46:14.680 there could be going in one direction within the, within the rules of our existing physics,

00:46:20.440 could be traveling at a high speed in one direction,

00:46:23.420 and then suddenly reverse speed and going the other way.

00:46:28.520 It could be, let's see, let's put together what we know.

00:46:32.400 So the ones they've confirmed are not spacecraft are plastic garbage bags and balloons.

00:46:40.940 If only we could think of something that could change direction quickly in the air

00:46:47.700 without violating any rules of physics.

00:46:52.340 Well, I've got nothing.

00:46:55.920 It's plastic bags, people.

00:46:58.940 It's plastic bags.

00:47:02.120 Clearly.

00:47:06.300 Clearly, it's plastic bags.

00:47:08.440 We think we're being invaded by an advanced species.

00:47:15.000 Or it's just our plastic bags.

00:47:17.680 It's a balloon.

00:47:18.840 Yeah.

00:47:19.500 Now, as soon as I saw that most of them are balloons and bags,

00:47:24.140 and that whole thing about the physics being impossible,

00:47:27.680 I thought, the physics are impossible if you make the assumption it's a spacecraft.

00:47:32.160 If you start with the assumption it's a spacecraft, well, yeah, it can't move that way.

00:47:38.680 If you start with the assumption it's a plastic bag, it can go any direction really quickly.

00:47:44.580 Just have to have a different wind.

00:47:48.720 Why is the military promoting it?

00:47:50.480 Because they believe they're spacecraft.

00:47:51.620 I think the people promoting it believe it.

00:47:56.040 The lights?

00:47:57.580 All the ones that they show, like the sensor readings of, I don't know what you'd call it, cameras, I guess.

00:48:05.460 They don't have lights.

00:48:06.900 The tic-tac ones?

00:48:09.120 No.

00:48:09.460 The ones that look the most convincing?

00:48:11.960 They don't have any lights.

00:48:13.620 The ones that look the least convincing, like their hoaxes or their airplanes or stuff?

00:48:19.180 Those have lights.

00:48:20.040 Those have lights, yeah.

00:48:22.440 Now, I would love for UFOs to be real if they're not here to, you know, use us for food.

00:48:30.620 I don't think so.

00:48:32.800 I'm going to make a really big bet that in my lifetime there will be no confirmation of spaceships.

00:48:40.560 And that would be hard because we've got cameras everywhere.

00:48:44.980 We can't get one clear picture of a UFO,

00:48:48.520 and every time we get a clear picture,

00:48:51.120 oh, it's a bag.

00:48:52.520 It's a balloon.

00:48:54.300 So, let me get this straight.

00:48:56.660 All of the clear photography is a balloon or a bag,

00:49:02.080 and all of the vague photography might be an advanced alien armada coming to Earth.

00:49:13.360 Plastic bag, alien armada.

00:49:18.220 Well, one of those is more likely than the other.

00:49:23.760 More likely.

00:49:26.280 I'm being asked, how do I like my crow?

00:49:29.100 Because I'll be eating some crow.

00:49:33.440 Allow me to commit to you.

00:49:35.560 Commit to you the following.

00:49:36.560 I would be so happy, like if we found out there were space aliens or some kind of aliens who are not dangerous.

00:49:46.420 I would love that.

00:49:48.480 I would love that.

00:49:50.860 And I would eat all the crow you want.

00:49:54.900 No, not Mike Rowe.

00:49:57.140 This sounds like my crow.

00:49:59.680 No, not that.

00:50:00.400 But, yeah, I'd happily eat crow.

00:50:03.860 So, and here's why I say that.

00:50:06.360 One of the things I'll teach you in my new book is that

00:50:08.560 if you commit to who you are too strongly,

00:50:12.020 and then you find out you're wrong about something,

00:50:14.080 that's how you get into cognitive dissonance.

00:50:16.300 Because you're trying to make some compatibility with who you think you are

00:50:19.660 and who you've presented yourself to the public

00:50:22.020 with what is actually happening.

00:50:24.220 So, if I were to present myself as flawless in my predictions,

00:50:30.460 and then I get one wrong,

00:50:31.900 I would be triggered into cognitive dissonance.

00:50:34.780 So I don't do that.

00:50:36.540 I tell you that if I'm wrong about this, I will love it.

00:50:40.440 And that makes me pretty much immune from cognitive dissonance.

00:50:44.340 Because I have a good outcome either way.

00:50:46.740 I would love to find their aliens.

00:50:48.540 Love it.

00:50:49.740 And I also like to be right.

00:50:52.400 Two good things.

00:50:53.200 I win either way.

00:50:55.660 So, as long as I win either way,

00:50:57.500 I don't have any trigger for cognitive dissonance.

00:50:59.980 Maybe a little confirmation bias.

00:51:01.480 Everybody has that.

00:51:02.620 But not cognitive dissonance.

00:51:06.380 All right.

00:51:08.580 Do you remember me saying that winter was going to be tough

00:51:11.780 for the Russian soldiers?

00:51:14.460 Because it seemed to me that the Ukrainians would just fly drones

00:51:19.160 over their battlefield.

00:51:22.220 And the drones would just wait until the Russians had to go back to their barracks

00:51:27.180 because they had to be indoors for the winter or for the night.

00:51:31.000 And I said, isn't the winter going to be a whole bunch of Russians walking into barracks

00:51:37.980 just before the barracks explode?

00:51:39.500 And now we're seeing videos of exactly that.

00:51:45.880 Exactly that.

00:51:47.280 Yeah.

00:51:47.520 You actually see the soldiers, the Russian soldiers, like 20 of them, heading toward a building.

00:51:54.880 One assumes that there are more of them in that building,

00:51:59.160 because that's probably some kind of a barracks or headquarters or something.

00:52:02.660 So the Ukrainians, instead of killing the 20 where they see them,

00:52:06.500 they just follow them with the drone.

00:52:08.460 And you watch them walk into the building, and then they call in the strike,

00:52:13.020 and the building blows up.

00:52:15.980 Now, I've seen two videos of that so far.

00:52:19.120 Now, that's just the videos we've seen, so I'm not sure if we see all of them.

00:52:24.020 But that does appear to be a strategy.

00:52:26.020 Would you agree?

00:52:27.060 Would you agree that that's clearly a strategy at this point?

00:52:32.800 Right?

00:52:34.300 I don't know how that strategy loses.

00:52:37.400 Can't they see troop movements really easily in the winter?

00:52:41.260 There's no leaves.

00:52:44.240 It looks to me that if you have any kind of aerial advantage,

00:52:47.940 you can see everybody moving everywhere.

00:52:50.660 Like at night, bad weather, you know.

00:52:54.080 Like, all you have to wait is for a day your drone can fly,

00:52:57.120 and you know exactly where their barracks are,

00:52:58.860 and then you make it disappear.

00:53:00.540 I don't know how there are going to be any Russians left by the end of the winter.

00:53:04.460 Am I wrong that that was the obvious tactic,

00:53:07.760 and Ukraine is apparently optimizing it?

00:53:11.920 Now, I think it might be different on the Ukrainian side,

00:53:15.420 because I'll bet they're distributed better.

00:53:18.440 And it may be that the Russians have fewer good surveillance tech.

00:53:23.060 I don't know that for sure.

00:53:25.040 Yeah.

00:53:26.820 All right.

00:53:28.040 Now, let me say for the pro-Russia trolls,

00:53:33.500 there is no way to know who will lose or who will win in the long run.

00:53:38.900 Any amount of, you know, temporary Ukrainian victories

00:53:42.500 have to be weighed against the fact that Russia might be willing to take as long as it takes.

00:53:48.180 So, no, you cannot know who will win.

00:53:50.680 Are you happy?

00:53:51.160 And you should also not believe anything that comes out of Ukraine.

00:53:56.460 Are we good?

00:53:58.520 Okay.

00:53:59.400 I don't see much complaining on that.

00:54:00.760 All right.

00:54:02.000 So, Russians took this town called Solidar,

00:54:05.860 and it's a big fight,

00:54:07.820 and part of the story is that the Wagner group is fighting there,

00:54:12.800 and I guess somebody claimed that they had conquered it before they had,

00:54:16.940 so they had to try extra hard to actually conquer it with a lot of losses.

00:54:20.640 Anyway, so whether or not Russia has conquered it, let's say they do.

00:54:28.160 Have you seen pictures of Solidar?

00:54:31.100 There's nothing left.

00:54:33.080 It's just rubble.

00:54:34.160 Does it matter if Russia captures rubble?

00:54:39.780 Because what would Ukraine do?

00:54:42.860 Let me suggest what they would do.

00:54:45.240 So Ukraine, let's say Ukraine pulls out of Solidar.

00:54:48.120 There's nothing left.

00:54:49.560 There's nothing to protect.

00:54:51.200 There's nothing left.

00:54:52.260 What would Russia do?

00:54:54.000 Well, they have to occupy it,

00:54:55.960 or else they didn't really conquer it.

00:54:59.040 How will they occupy it?

00:55:01.280 Will all the Russian soldiers, you know,

00:55:03.900 take like one square mile and sleep alone?

00:55:08.340 Probably not.

00:55:09.760 They're probably going to bunch up in little groups

00:55:11.980 and march toward their barracks,

00:55:14.720 and their barracks will just be rubble,

00:55:18.280 and then the Ukrainians will blow up the rubble,

00:55:21.180 and so Solidar will just turn into a killing field

00:55:24.320 because there's no place to hide,

00:55:26.560 and there's nothing the Ukrainians wouldn't be willing to blow up

00:55:30.200 because there's nothing but rubble.

00:55:33.220 When I say nothing but rubble,

00:55:34.720 I mean actually literally nothing but rubble.

00:55:37.080 There's nothing there.

00:55:39.320 So what does it mean to control that?

00:55:42.520 It just means that you're holding on to a piece of land

00:55:45.460 that makes you just easy targets.

00:55:48.420 Like, there's nothing predictable about any of this stuff.

00:55:50.840 All right.

00:55:56.140 Polish, Polish Ukrainians, yeah.

00:56:02.380 What's that?

00:56:04.100 Newsflash.

00:56:04.580 We won.

00:56:05.160 Yeah, we won the Cold War.

00:56:06.540 We did.

00:56:07.600 Yeah, I think so.

00:56:08.600 All right.

00:56:11.680 Pfizer is seeing a signal in the data

00:56:14.920 for strokes from the boosters,

00:56:17.500 not the first two, but the boosters,

00:56:19.800 for older people.

00:56:22.180 And here's what they said.

00:56:23.500 This is kind of interesting.

00:56:25.540 I assume this is a confidence-building kind of move.

00:56:28.820 They're saying that only one study showed

00:56:30.760 that there might be a signal for a problem,

00:56:33.280 and they said that they don't see the signal

00:56:35.780 in other countries.

00:56:38.000 They don't see it in the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs records,

00:56:41.120 which tend to be pretty good,

00:56:42.320 and they don't see it in the VAERS.

00:56:45.740 So they're actually reporting a risk of their own product

00:56:49.800 that even the VAERS system hasn't picked up.

00:56:54.300 Now, that's either super,

00:56:57.780 let's say, super reasonable on their part,

00:57:04.380 or it's just pure manipulation.

00:57:09.300 It's one of those two things.

00:57:10.660 Because I have a feeling they're going to say,

00:57:12.480 you know, at the first sign,

00:57:15.300 at the first sign of anything wrong,

00:57:17.940 we did the maximum amount of protecting.

00:57:20.780 But then we looked into it deeper

00:57:22.140 and found out there was nothing there.

00:57:25.120 So I think in the end,

00:57:26.360 they're going to magically proclaim they saw nothing,

00:57:29.620 but they're going to say,

00:57:30.620 look, we follow up on every little thing.

00:57:34.800 So if you think there's something we haven't followed up on,

00:57:37.400 just look at this.

00:57:38.560 See, that was something we didn't even need to tell you

00:57:40.600 was so small.

00:57:41.440 Such a small signal.

00:57:42.940 Probably not even real.

00:57:45.160 So I think that's just positioning and persuasion.

00:57:48.140 That's what it looks like.

00:57:50.100 Yeah.

00:57:50.460 Yeah, the PR people told them to admit and apologize

00:57:52.940 so that they would have a small admission

00:57:55.480 and maybe a small apology,

00:57:58.880 and then say,

00:57:59.420 oops, sorry,

00:58:01.240 we were wrong about that being a signal.

00:58:03.600 Turns out it's perfect.

00:58:04.580 So I think that's what's going to happen.

00:58:06.980 Which has nothing to do with whether it's safe or not.

00:58:11.460 I saw some insurance actuary stuff on periocarditis.

00:58:21.680 What's it called?

00:58:25.020 Carditis?

00:58:26.400 Why am I forgetting periocarditis?

00:58:28.660 Anyway.

00:58:31.300 Myocarditis, sorry.

00:58:32.340 Yeah, myocarditis.

00:58:33.720 And now this was one small insurance company's data.

00:58:37.960 I'm not going to mention the insurance company

00:58:39.560 or where I got it for now.

00:58:41.840 But it seemed to indicate,

00:58:44.960 and again, we don't believe data, right?

00:58:48.080 Any data about the pandemic is sketchy.

00:58:51.320 But it seemed to show that young people

00:58:53.680 were having more myocarditis,

00:58:55.980 similar to other information.

00:58:58.320 And it looked pretty,

00:59:00.580 like a pretty big deal.

00:59:02.940 You know,

00:59:03.620 I think the scale of it maybe was misleading.

00:59:06.220 But there did seem to be a clear spike in younger people.

00:59:11.840 But here's the interesting part.

00:59:14.140 At age 65 and older,

00:59:16.860 the spike just disappeared.

00:59:18.800 Like zero.

00:59:20.680 Now, why is that interesting?

00:59:23.000 There's a very small chance,

00:59:25.680 this is very preliminary,

00:59:27.520 that I totally guessed right.

00:59:31.540 Remember I told you from the beginning,

00:59:33.900 we're all guessing,

00:59:34.880 but some of us imagine that we have knowledge

00:59:37.520 of things we can't know.

00:59:38.940 We're all guessing.

00:59:40.320 So if I guess right,

00:59:41.840 I'm not going to take any credit.

00:59:44.160 Because it was a guess.

00:59:46.020 Likewise, if I got it wrong,

00:59:47.580 and I died of a clot,

00:59:48.900 I still won't say I was wrong.

00:59:51.160 I'll say we were all guessing,

00:59:52.440 I guessed wrong.

00:59:54.100 Right?

00:59:54.440 So I either guessed right,

00:59:55.540 or I guessed wrong.

00:59:56.800 But I was definitely guessing.

00:59:59.040 Now, if you would like to say,

01:00:00.980 and many of you did,

01:00:02.380 Scott, I wasn't guessing.

01:00:03.700 Because I wasn't trusting these people,

01:00:06.940 that was right,

01:00:09.400 and here we are.

01:00:11.160 Okay.

01:00:11.940 So I'll just talk about me.

01:00:14.140 I was guessing.

01:00:15.860 Right?

01:00:16.320 But it looks like I guessed the same as

01:00:18.360 Dr. Robert Malone,

01:00:20.340 one of the co-inventors of the mRNA thing.

01:00:23.660 And, oh, I also did not choose

01:00:26.220 which vaccination.

01:00:28.240 Because my healthcare provider

01:00:29.700 didn't give me a choice.

01:00:30.780 They were just like,

01:00:31.300 you're getting vaccinated,

01:00:32.680 don't ask us which one,

01:00:33.980 until they put it into your arm,

01:00:35.460 basically.

01:00:36.820 So I didn't,

01:00:38.400 you know,

01:00:38.860 so I did the same thing

01:00:39.880 Dr. Malone did.

01:00:40.640 I got the first two vaccinations

01:00:42.760 primarily because I wanted

01:00:45.060 to travel internationally.

01:00:46.360 That's why he did it.

01:00:47.880 That's why I did it.

01:00:48.860 Specifically why.

01:00:49.860 I also waited as long as possible

01:00:51.800 because most of the bad outcomes

01:00:54.620 happened soon.

01:00:56.280 So after six months of seeing

01:00:58.140 if there were excess people

01:00:59.420 dropping dead in my age,

01:01:01.760 I took the leap.

01:01:05.140 Now,

01:01:06.660 does that mean that

01:01:08.840 I should get a booster?

01:01:12.020 No.

01:01:12.740 Because everything's changed.

01:01:14.860 Right?

01:01:15.220 Like,

01:01:15.660 it's Omicron now,

01:01:17.120 and, you know,

01:01:18.060 we know that it doesn't have

01:01:19.100 any protective value,

01:01:20.700 and blah, blah, blah.

01:01:21.960 Oh, I'm sorry.

01:01:23.000 We know that it doesn't

01:01:23.900 stop infections.

01:01:25.620 But let's talk about

01:01:26.400 protective value.

01:01:27.600 That's a separate category.

01:01:30.600 In the news,

01:01:32.120 which is totally believable,

01:01:36.480 we all believe the news,

01:01:37.660 according to CNN,

01:01:40.460 largely funded by Big Pharma,

01:01:43.340 more than a quarter of kids

01:01:45.960 who get COVID

01:01:46.760 may develop long-term symptoms.

01:01:52.680 Hmm.

01:01:53.840 Let me see if I can connect the dots.

01:01:56.440 CNN,

01:01:57.060 a news organization

01:01:58.000 that's funded largely by Big Pharma,

01:02:02.080 because all the news is,

01:02:03.380 they've decided that

01:02:07.080 they somehow magically can know

01:02:09.820 how many kids have long COVID

01:02:12.360 when long COVID

01:02:14.780 is a totally vague set of symptoms

01:02:18.520 that is hard to identify.

01:02:22.420 A little sketchy, isn't it?

01:02:24.220 It feels as if the news narrative

01:02:26.600 coincidentally fits exactly

01:02:29.580 what their sponsors

01:02:31.340 would like to hear.

01:02:33.700 Because you can also find

01:02:35.120 on Google,

01:02:35.980 so I went to Google,

01:02:38.100 and yes,

01:02:39.060 we know that the social media platforms

01:02:41.960 are biased on all the medical stuff.

01:02:44.200 So I went there to see

01:02:45.060 what Google would say

01:02:46.060 about the so-called vaccinations.

01:02:48.760 And I asked it,

01:02:51.860 does the so-called vaccination,

01:02:53.900 without the so-called part,

01:02:55.500 does it protect you

01:02:56.460 against long COVID?

01:02:57.920 And do you know what Google says?

01:02:59.860 Oh, yeah.

01:03:01.400 Oh, yeah,

01:03:02.000 that vaccination will protect you

01:03:03.340 against that long COVID.

01:03:05.040 And 25% of kids

01:03:06.480 are getting that long COVID.

01:03:07.940 Oh, it's really bad.

01:03:09.360 It's really bad.

01:03:10.680 Don't you wish you had a vaccination

01:03:11.980 so you wouldn't get that long COVID?

01:03:14.300 Now,

01:03:15.180 how are we supposed to think

01:03:17.620 that's a fucking coincidence?

01:03:20.320 I do not apologize for swearing.

01:03:23.180 You needed that.

01:03:24.800 You needed that.

01:03:25.900 I'm just going to do one.

01:03:27.180 That's up.

01:03:27.540 Then we're done.

01:03:28.780 All right.

01:03:29.820 How in the world

01:03:30.840 are we supposed to believe that?

01:03:33.540 How in the world?

01:03:35.440 Now,

01:03:35.960 I'm not saying it's not true.

01:03:38.380 I'm not saying

01:03:39.240 that the vaccination

01:03:40.000 doesn't protect you

01:03:41.820 from long COVID.

01:03:43.200 I'm just saying

01:03:44.080 that's a big ask.

01:03:46.080 Isn't it?

01:03:47.620 That's a big ask.

01:03:49.360 Because first of all,

01:03:50.260 I don't exactly see the mechanism

01:03:51.920 by which that would be true.

01:03:54.760 I mean,

01:03:55.220 if it doesn't stop infection,

01:03:57.800 if it does keep you

01:03:59.080 from getting the worst of symptoms,

01:04:00.840 which I'm not even sure

01:04:01.640 that's true,

01:04:03.140 maybe that could make sense.

01:04:06.140 If your initial COVID

01:04:08.100 was not as bad

01:04:09.080 as it could have been

01:04:09.920 because of the vaccination,

01:04:12.400 again,

01:04:12.900 that would be something

01:04:14.100 I'm not sure is true.

01:04:15.140 but that would at least

01:04:16.820 give you an explanation

01:04:17.900 of why they might protect you

01:04:19.500 because you don't get it

01:04:20.220 so bad in the first place.

01:04:21.760 Eh,

01:04:22.380 maybe.

01:04:23.920 But

01:04:24.320 it does seem like

01:04:26.000 it's presented to us

01:04:26.920 as a fact.

01:04:28.760 I'm not sure that's a fact.

01:04:30.880 What do you think?

01:04:32.300 Do you think that's a fact?

01:04:33.960 Or do you think

01:04:34.620 it's just pure narrative

01:04:35.620 because it's good

01:04:36.260 for the farmers?

01:04:36.780 And interestingly,

01:04:40.740 they say there's no drug

01:04:42.240 for long COVID.

01:04:45.260 Now,

01:04:45.740 I'm sure that there's drugs

01:04:47.040 in the pipeline,

01:04:48.380 but that's also

01:04:50.160 basically just trying

01:04:51.080 to get you

01:04:51.460 to get vaccinated, right?

01:04:52.820 Oh,

01:04:53.200 you better get vaccinated

01:04:54.040 so you don't get

01:04:55.360 that long COVID.

01:04:56.800 Now,

01:04:58.980 oh,

01:05:00.300 I'm just going to throw

01:05:05.360 this in the mix.

01:05:06.780 I don't believe

01:05:07.500 this is true, right?

01:05:08.960 So here's a fake news

01:05:11.120 that somebody injected

01:05:12.820 into the conversation

01:05:13.860 and it made me laugh

01:05:15.880 because it's just

01:05:16.960 the perfect fake news.

01:05:18.720 Are you ready for this?

01:05:19.880 It's fake news

01:05:20.680 as far as I know.

01:05:22.360 You know all those

01:05:22.940 unexplained deaths

01:05:23.940 that happened about

01:05:25.000 the same time

01:05:25.680 as the vaccinations?

01:05:28.700 Somebody said

01:05:29.400 it happened about

01:05:30.020 the same time

01:05:30.600 people were taking

01:05:31.400 hydroxychloroquine

01:05:33.080 and ivermectin

01:05:35.000 and they're saying

01:05:36.840 it's probably

01:05:37.480 the hydroxychloroquine

01:05:38.800 that killed them.

01:05:39.960 Now,

01:05:42.080 right,

01:05:42.720 right,

01:05:43.040 the odds of that

01:05:43.860 being true

01:05:44.260 are pretty low

01:05:44.800 because those are

01:05:45.920 such well-tolerated,

01:05:47.840 well-tolerated things.

01:05:49.860 But I think it's funny

01:05:51.180 that anybody

01:05:51.680 would even try

01:05:52.400 to inject that

01:05:53.200 into the conversation

01:05:54.220 at this point.

01:05:55.480 To me,

01:05:55.860 that's just funny.

01:05:57.000 I can't take that

01:05:57.760 too seriously.

01:05:58.300 Yeah.

01:06:01.460 All right,

01:06:01.980 so don't take that

01:06:02.600 seriously at all.

01:06:12.640 So here's what

01:06:13.780 the news,

01:06:15.280 CNN said

01:06:15.880 about the long COVID.

01:06:17.860 All right,

01:06:18.220 so there was,

01:06:19.160 I guess,

01:06:19.520 sort of a meta-study,

01:06:21.060 if you could call it that.

01:06:22.180 They don't call it

01:06:22.700 a meta-analysis.

01:06:23.840 So maybe it was

01:06:24.440 just a review,

01:06:25.940 which would be

01:06:26.460 different than

01:06:27.000 a meta-analysis.

01:06:28.300 So seven articles

01:06:29.700 showed an improvement

01:06:31.080 in long COVID symptoms

01:06:32.660 after at least

01:06:34.460 one dose of vaccination.

01:06:35.620 So there's

01:06:35.980 seven articles,

01:06:38.260 articles.

01:06:39.340 Interesting.

01:06:40.540 Not seven studies,

01:06:42.840 but seven articles.

01:06:45.540 What's an article?

01:06:47.540 Somebody wrote

01:06:48.200 about their opinion?

01:06:50.020 Don't we need a study?

01:06:51.820 But there are

01:06:52.480 seven articles

01:06:53.320 showing an improvement

01:06:54.640 in long COVID symptoms

01:06:55.760 from some vaccination.

01:06:57.420 while four studies

01:06:59.400 reported no change

01:07:00.840 or a worsening.

01:07:03.020 All right,

01:07:03.400 so now let's say

01:07:04.420 you're in charge

01:07:05.240 of the analysis.

01:07:07.300 And you see

01:07:08.140 seven articles.

01:07:11.480 Article doesn't mean

01:07:12.580 study,

01:07:13.080 but seven articles

01:07:13.940 that say

01:07:14.440 the vaccination helps.

01:07:17.160 Four that say

01:07:18.100 they don't,

01:07:19.760 of which one says

01:07:20.860 it makes things worse.

01:07:21.760 do you recommend

01:07:24.840 vaccinations

01:07:25.980 for long COVID?

01:07:27.900 If that's what you saw,

01:07:29.840 seven articles

01:07:31.200 say probably yes,

01:07:34.760 four say probably no,

01:07:36.580 and one of them

01:07:37.060 says it might make it worse.

01:07:38.100 I wouldn't call

01:07:42.140 that much

01:07:42.600 of a science.

01:07:44.980 All right.

01:07:45.860 That,

01:07:46.360 at best,

01:07:47.500 at best,

01:07:48.500 it's like a signal.

01:07:50.660 Right?

01:07:50.900 Something,

01:07:51.560 you know,

01:07:51.840 tell you to look

01:07:52.440 into it deeper

01:07:53.260 or something.

01:07:53.740 That's it.

01:07:54.160 That's all.

01:07:55.420 That's a long way

01:07:56.640 from confirming

01:07:57.980 that long COVID

01:07:59.040 can be helped

01:08:00.060 by vaccinations.

01:08:01.500 That's a long ways away.

01:08:03.640 Seven articles

01:08:04.260 about the same study,

01:08:05.440 possibly.

01:08:05.840 Possibly seven articles

01:08:07.900 about the same study.

01:08:09.900 Now,

01:08:10.700 here's what you should

01:08:11.740 have asked

01:08:12.200 about the seven studies

01:08:13.960 versus the four.

01:08:17.040 What if only one of them

01:08:18.460 was a good study?

01:08:22.040 That's very possible,

01:08:23.140 right?

01:08:23.460 What if one of them

01:08:24.320 was a pretty solid study

01:08:25.540 and all the rest

01:08:26.880 of them were weak?

01:08:28.660 Are you supposed

01:08:29.400 to average them?

01:08:31.420 Does that make sense?

01:08:32.520 Or do you throw away

01:08:33.500 all the weak ones

01:08:34.200 and say,

01:08:34.680 well,

01:08:34.820 we only have one

01:08:35.400 good study?

01:08:36.640 So let's emphasize

01:08:37.860 this one.

01:08:39.320 The most basic,

01:08:41.020 basic analytical questions

01:08:43.640 are sort of

01:08:44.960 just ignored.

01:08:46.440 So I would put,

01:08:47.420 I would put zero

01:08:48.300 credibility

01:08:48.940 in any long

01:08:51.100 COVID reporting.

01:08:53.220 Would you agree?

01:08:54.640 Which I don't,

01:08:55.800 I think it might be real.

01:08:57.620 There's a good chance

01:08:58.300 long COVID is real.

01:08:59.940 I just think

01:09:00.700 the reporting

01:09:01.200 is just garbage.

01:09:02.040 All right.

01:09:05.800 Let's talk about

01:09:06.660 Bill Gates.

01:09:08.960 A number of you

01:09:09.920 asked,

01:09:11.100 I guess Mike

01:09:11.920 Surdovich has

01:09:12.640 gone quite negative

01:09:14.060 on Bill Gates,

01:09:15.020 more so than

01:09:15.920 in the past.

01:09:17.440 I don't know

01:09:17.860 what his past views

01:09:18.720 were,

01:09:19.100 but he seems

01:09:20.880 to think that

01:09:21.580 Bill Gates

01:09:22.180 is evil

01:09:23.280 in some ways.

01:09:24.160 So I wanted

01:09:24.860 to look into that

01:09:25.640 and see if there

01:09:27.000 was something new

01:09:27.680 that came out

01:09:28.580 and here's

01:09:30.080 some things

01:09:30.440 I found.

01:09:32.700 One is that

01:09:33.720 you've heard

01:09:35.540 that Bill Gates

01:09:36.120 is buying up

01:09:36.720 all the farmland.

01:09:37.980 He's like the

01:09:38.560 biggest or second

01:09:40.120 biggest owner

01:09:40.740 of farmland.

01:09:41.540 Have you heard that?

01:09:42.920 And you were worried

01:09:43.580 about that, right?

01:09:44.300 Because he's going

01:09:44.760 to like capture

01:09:45.960 the,

01:09:46.360 capture the farming

01:09:48.220 industry.

01:09:50.260 Bill Gates

01:09:50.920 says he owns

01:09:51.920 currently

01:09:52.920 one 4,000th

01:09:56.360 of the farmland

01:09:57.800 in the United States.

01:09:59.200 He owns

01:09:59.620 one 4,000th

01:10:01.760 of it.

01:10:03.400 Now if that's true,

01:10:05.540 are you still

01:10:06.000 worried?

01:10:06.860 You still worried

01:10:07.560 about him?

01:10:09.760 Because you know

01:10:10.580 he couldn't

01:10:11.240 control anything

01:10:12.320 with one 4,000th

01:10:15.120 of the farmland.

01:10:16.940 To me it looks

01:10:17.760 like he's using

01:10:18.380 it to experiment.

01:10:20.840 That's what it

01:10:21.420 looks like to me.

01:10:22.020 It looks like

01:10:23.300 he's probably

01:10:23.680 going to try

01:10:24.180 different water

01:10:25.480 you know

01:10:26.500 watering techniques

01:10:27.580 probably different

01:10:28.360 seeds and shit.

01:10:29.420 You know just

01:10:29.700 try some stuff

01:10:30.340 because that's

01:10:31.100 sort of his deal.

01:10:32.620 His deal right

01:10:33.480 now is

01:10:33.900 trying stuff.

01:10:35.540 See if it works.

01:10:37.940 Oh somebody

01:10:38.400 says to get

01:10:38.880 the water rights.

01:10:40.280 Well if he has

01:10:40.940 one 4,000th

01:10:42.700 of the farmland

01:10:43.800 do you think

01:10:44.920 he has

01:10:45.440 more than that

01:10:47.220 of the water rights?

01:10:50.240 I don't know.

01:10:50.780 Do you think

01:10:51.080 some of this

01:10:51.680 farmland has

01:10:52.400 massive water

01:10:53.720 rights and

01:10:54.180 the other

01:10:54.420 farmers can't

01:10:55.040 get any?

01:10:55.980 I don't know.

01:10:57.340 Alright he's

01:10:58.160 also said that

01:10:58.940 you'll come to

01:10:59.560 like fake meat.

01:11:03.040 It's not so

01:11:03.860 great now but

01:11:04.520 you'll come to

01:11:05.060 like it.

01:11:05.800 Is that a

01:11:06.180 problem?

01:11:08.040 Who has a

01:11:08.760 problem with

01:11:09.500 fake meat

01:11:11.300 probably will

01:11:12.740 continue to

01:11:13.640 improve until

01:11:14.380 people say

01:11:14.900 you know this

01:11:15.300 is pretty good.

01:11:17.760 Now you're

01:11:18.220 answering whether

01:11:19.140 you would think

01:11:19.720 it would be

01:11:20.140 delicious yourself

01:11:21.140 but you don't

01:11:22.900 think

01:11:23.260 but why is

01:11:24.800 that a

01:11:25.000 problem?

01:11:27.180 All he's

01:11:27.860 saying is that

01:11:28.380 you'll have

01:11:28.660 some extra

01:11:29.260 eating options

01:11:30.000 and that's a

01:11:31.360 problem.

01:11:32.900 But what is

01:11:33.660 the problem?

01:11:34.540 People are

01:11:35.140 saying it's a

01:11:35.540 huge problem.

01:11:36.580 Oh it's a

01:11:36.920 huge problem.

01:11:37.820 But what is

01:11:38.440 that problem?

01:11:41.620 Okay.

01:11:44.100 Then I saw

01:11:44.900 Sernovich say

01:11:45.800 something about

01:11:46.500 that the

01:11:48.180 amount of

01:11:48.800 money that

01:11:49.200 Bill Gates

01:11:49.620 has actually

01:11:50.060 given away

01:11:50.760 is roughly

01:11:52.680 amount of

01:11:53.420 the interest

01:11:54.480 he would have

01:11:54.980 earned in

01:11:55.340 that period

01:11:55.800 so that his

01:11:57.100 main fortune

01:11:57.840 is still

01:11:59.040 intact so

01:12:00.300 that he's

01:12:00.820 being disingenuous

01:12:01.860 about giving

01:12:02.360 away his

01:12:02.780 fortune.

01:12:04.000 Do you think

01:12:04.760 that?

01:12:05.680 Do you think

01:12:06.400 that Gates

01:12:07.440 is not actually

01:12:08.300 giving away

01:12:08.780 his money?

01:12:09.100 Well I'm

01:12:13.320 pretty sure

01:12:13.760 he's transferred

01:12:14.500 something like

01:12:15.560 $20 billion

01:12:16.360 from his

01:12:17.840 $100 billion

01:12:18.420 into his

01:12:20.140 charity.

01:12:21.960 That's a

01:12:22.640 fact right?

01:12:23.420 It's a fact

01:12:23.960 that he moved

01:12:24.360 $20 billion in.

01:12:25.740 Now my

01:12:26.780 understanding is

01:12:27.620 he's committed

01:12:28.220 to give it

01:12:28.720 away by

01:12:32.680 or in

01:12:34.040 conjunction

01:12:34.440 with his

01:12:34.880 death.

01:12:36.100 I never

01:12:36.860 heard him

01:12:37.200 say I want

01:12:37.720 to give it

01:12:38.020 away right

01:12:38.460 away.

01:12:39.100 Like all

01:12:39.780 of it?

01:12:40.180 I never

01:12:40.640 heard of

01:12:40.900 that.

01:12:41.460 I always

01:12:41.880 heard that

01:12:42.200 he was

01:12:42.400 going to

01:12:42.700 keep most

01:12:43.400 of it

01:12:43.820 and allocate

01:12:46.680 it as there

01:12:47.520 were good

01:12:47.900 uses for

01:12:48.580 it but

01:12:49.800 that when

01:12:50.200 he died

01:12:50.740 all of it

01:12:52.040 would go

01:12:52.360 to charity

01:12:52.900 except some

01:12:53.500 small amount

01:12:54.080 to his

01:12:54.340 family.

01:12:55.440 So I

01:12:56.340 would say

01:12:56.680 the way

01:12:57.000 to judge

01:12:57.500 his promise

01:12:58.220 is on

01:12:58.760 his death

01:12:59.140 bed or

01:13:00.480 after he

01:13:00.940 dies.

01:13:01.740 I don't

01:13:02.100 know you

01:13:02.440 could judge

01:13:03.000 it.

01:13:03.540 Now if

01:13:03.920 he leaves

01:13:04.300 it to

01:13:04.520 his family

01:13:05.020 and it

01:13:06.180 was all

01:13:06.480 a big

01:13:06.860 scam,

01:13:08.140 well I

01:13:08.620 would complain

01:13:09.160 about that

01:13:09.880 but I

01:13:11.300 actually think

01:13:11.880 he's going

01:13:12.220 to leave

01:13:13.360 it to

01:13:13.820 his foundations.

01:13:17.080 That's what

01:13:17.700 I think.

01:13:18.880 Now here's

01:13:21.640 a guy who's

01:13:22.140 spending a lot

01:13:22.840 of time trying

01:13:23.380 to make better

01:13:23.940 toilets for

01:13:24.700 Africa.

01:13:25.860 It's hard for

01:13:26.760 me to believe

01:13:27.340 that his real

01:13:28.000 intention is

01:13:28.660 bad.

01:13:30.900 Now here's

01:13:31.640 the context.

01:13:35.360 I only do

01:13:36.660 defenses of

01:13:37.820 people who

01:13:38.260 can't defend

01:13:39.620 themselves or

01:13:41.120 aren't for

01:13:41.800 some reason.

01:13:42.800 Bill Gates

01:13:43.220 doesn't defend

01:13:43.900 himself from

01:13:45.140 all the weird

01:13:45.720 rumors.

01:13:48.080 So I'm

01:13:49.320 just sort of

01:13:49.920 being a public

01:13:50.460 defender.

01:13:51.400 My personal

01:13:52.180 opinion is I'm

01:13:53.760 sure Bill Gates

01:13:54.540 has done things

01:13:55.220 that would

01:13:55.500 alarm me.

01:13:57.660 It's hard to

01:13:58.420 know what they

01:13:58.860 are.

01:13:59.060 His personal

01:14:00.700 life is

01:14:02.200 interesting.

01:14:03.500 Now I don't

01:14:03.840 know what he

01:14:04.160 did or did

01:14:04.640 not do with

01:14:05.100 Epstein.

01:14:05.720 So you know

01:14:07.800 my standard.

01:14:08.640 Innocent

01:14:09.000 until proven

01:14:09.440 guilty.

01:14:10.720 Innocent

01:14:11.100 until proven

01:14:11.520 guilty.

01:14:12.500 He has some

01:14:13.080 explaining to

01:14:13.800 you about

01:14:14.500 the Epstein

01:14:14.960 stuff.

01:14:15.860 But isn't

01:14:16.860 there a really

01:14:17.400 long list of

01:14:18.140 people who

01:14:18.540 have gone to

01:14:19.000 Epstein's

01:14:19.480 island?

01:14:20.900 I'm not sure

01:14:21.440 if it was a

01:14:21.860 fake list I

01:14:22.440 saw.

01:14:22.620 But I saw

01:14:22.940 a list once

01:14:23.600 of all the

01:14:24.020 people who

01:14:24.360 went there.

01:14:25.300 There were a

01:14:25.600 lot of famous

01:14:26.160 people who

01:14:26.600 went there.

01:14:27.560 A lot of

01:14:27.960 them were

01:14:28.120 female.

01:14:29.060 And it

01:14:29.820 didn't look

01:14:30.460 like all

01:14:30.880 of them

01:14:31.120 were going

01:14:31.460 there for

01:14:31.740 the wrong

01:14:32.060 reason.

01:14:32.960 If you see

01:14:33.440 the total

01:14:33.920 list, it

01:14:35.620 looks like

01:14:36.080 probably most

01:14:37.040 people went

01:14:37.580 there with

01:14:37.940 no sexual

01:14:38.980 interest.

01:14:41.280 It looks

01:14:41.860 like most

01:14:42.400 of them were

01:14:42.840 just taking

01:14:44.500 a trip to

01:14:46.040 a rich

01:14:46.300 person's

01:14:46.700 island.

01:14:48.280 So innocent

01:14:50.380 until proven

01:14:50.920 guilty, but

01:14:51.740 if you ask

01:14:52.260 me has he

01:14:52.700 done anything

01:14:53.420 ever in his

01:14:54.040 life that

01:14:55.280 would alarm

01:14:55.740 me, I

01:14:56.200 would say

01:14:56.560 probably.

01:14:57.920 Probably.

01:14:58.320 I don't

01:14:59.160 know what

01:14:59.420 it is, but

01:14:59.980 probably.

01:15:01.340 So I'm

01:15:02.060 not defending

01:15:02.560 him of all

01:15:03.060 things.

01:15:03.520 I'm not

01:15:03.760 telling you

01:15:04.080 he's an

01:15:04.340 angel.

01:15:05.080 I'm not

01:15:05.500 telling you

01:15:05.840 he won't

01:15:06.160 do anything

01:15:06.520 to you

01:15:06.760 tomorrow.

01:15:08.120 But at

01:15:08.760 the moment

01:15:09.160 it's hard.

01:15:10.580 The thing

01:15:11.140 I see

01:15:11.520 mostly when

01:15:12.260 people talk

01:15:12.700 about Bill

01:15:13.260 Gates'

01:15:13.700 intention,

01:15:15.840 what I see

01:15:16.580 here from

01:15:17.160 Robert F.

01:15:18.540 Kennedy Jr.

01:15:20.380 He said,

01:15:21.080 anyone who

01:15:21.460 is prepared

01:15:21.940 to allow

01:15:22.360 Bill Gates

01:15:22.960 to dictate

01:15:23.680 world and

01:15:24.280 U.S.

01:15:24.540 health policy

01:15:25.120 should take

01:15:25.940 a long

01:15:26.280 hard look.

01:15:27.580 And he

01:15:27.760 said that

01:15:28.240 perhaps millions

01:15:29.080 of children

01:15:29.540 have died

01:15:30.060 unnecessarily,

01:15:31.500 according to

01:15:32.060 Kennedy Jr.,

01:15:32.980 who shared

01:15:33.600 information with

01:15:34.240 a peer-reviewed

01:15:34.780 publication and

01:15:35.820 blah, blah, blah,

01:15:36.760 something about

01:15:37.780 World Health

01:15:38.820 Organization and

01:15:39.900 vaccinations and

01:15:41.220 a bad outcome in

01:15:42.600 Africa that

01:15:43.580 Gates was

01:15:44.060 involved with.

01:15:45.640 Bill Gates.

01:15:46.480 And he

01:15:50.360 talks about,

01:15:51.340 so here's

01:15:51.860 what Kennedy

01:15:52.280 says about

01:15:52.920 Bill Gates.

01:15:54.280 So,

01:15:56.200 that's funny.

01:16:02.860 I'm going to

01:16:03.520 remove you,

01:16:04.100 but that was

01:16:06.440 funny.

01:16:09.560 So,

01:16:09.840 Robert Kennedy

01:16:11.220 Jr.

01:16:11.660 said about

01:16:12.280 Bill Gates,

01:16:13.900 slammed him

01:16:14.700 in his,

01:16:15.060 quote,

01:16:15.720 messianic

01:16:16.620 conviction that

01:16:18.060 he is ordained

01:16:18.900 to save the

01:16:19.520 world with

01:16:20.020 technology.

01:16:22.060 Is that

01:16:22.660 something Bill

01:16:23.220 Gates has

01:16:23.620 said?

01:16:24.280 Did Bill

01:16:24.700 Gates ever

01:16:25.100 say,

01:16:25.400 you know,

01:16:26.240 I've got

01:16:26.640 this messianic

01:16:27.540 conviction that

01:16:28.200 I need to

01:16:28.620 save the

01:16:28.980 world with

01:16:29.380 technology.

01:16:31.940 This is

01:16:32.600 where I

01:16:34.360 keep wanting

01:16:35.060 to back

01:16:35.920 Kennedy

01:16:38.580 Jr.,

01:16:39.200 Robert

01:16:39.500 Kennedy

01:16:39.780 Jr.,

01:16:40.420 because I

01:16:41.020 like a lot

01:16:41.620 of what he

01:16:42.020 does.

01:16:43.140 But when

01:16:43.540 he does

01:16:43.900 this,

01:16:45.060 then I'm

01:16:45.720 out.

01:16:46.660 Because the

01:16:47.460 mind readers,

01:16:48.360 the people

01:16:48.660 who see

01:16:48.940 intention,

01:16:49.900 that's just

01:16:50.320 crazy shit

01:16:50.980 to me.

01:16:52.740 To me,

01:16:53.060 it seems

01:16:53.340 crazy.

01:16:54.500 Now,

01:16:54.760 if you just

01:16:55.280 stick with

01:16:55.740 what he

01:16:56.040 did,

01:16:57.120 not what

01:16:57.980 his super

01:16:58.900 secret hidden

01:17:00.040 intentions are,

01:17:01.580 I might be

01:17:02.460 willing to say,

01:17:02.960 you know,

01:17:03.180 those things

01:17:03.600 he's doing

01:17:04.340 may not be

01:17:05.800 as good as

01:17:06.380 he wants

01:17:06.940 them to be.

01:17:07.800 That would

01:17:08.260 be a fair

01:17:08.640 conversation.

01:17:10.340 Even Gates

01:17:11.360 would probably

01:17:11.900 welcome that.

01:17:12.560 But as

01:17:13.620 soon as

01:17:13.900 you say,

01:17:14.400 I know

01:17:14.660 his secret

01:17:15.240 motivations

01:17:15.900 and they're

01:17:16.940 evil,

01:17:18.160 I'm out.

01:17:19.560 I'm so

01:17:20.260 out.

01:17:21.200 Now,

01:17:21.680 I get that

01:17:22.360 there are

01:17:22.680 evil people,

01:17:24.480 you know,

01:17:24.800 Hitler and

01:17:25.400 Stalin and

01:17:26.000 stuff,

01:17:26.640 but that

01:17:28.460 is such a

01:17:29.260 leap without

01:17:30.260 evidence.

01:17:31.620 If I look

01:17:32.460 at what

01:17:32.800 everything that

01:17:33.540 Bill Gates

01:17:33.900 has done,

01:17:34.280 it looks

01:17:34.540 like he's

01:17:35.000 trying to

01:17:36.220 salvage his

01:17:37.720 life.

01:17:38.060 to me it

01:17:39.900 looks like

01:17:40.220 he's trying

01:17:40.540 to salvage

01:17:41.320 his life.

01:17:42.720 Because I

01:17:43.160 think that,

01:17:44.360 and this is

01:17:44.900 sort of a

01:17:45.400 rich guy

01:17:46.140 insight,

01:17:48.680 if you're

01:17:49.520 not rich,

01:17:50.900 you haven't

01:17:52.680 experienced

01:17:53.200 this.

01:17:54.600 Which is,

01:17:55.360 the richer

01:17:55.660 you get,

01:17:56.120 the less

01:17:56.440 selfish you

01:17:56.960 get.

01:17:58.120 So a lot

01:17:59.000 of the

01:17:59.200 things that

01:17:59.820 people assume

01:18:01.100 about Bill

01:18:01.780 Gates' inner

01:18:02.400 thoughts of

01:18:03.060 how he's

01:18:03.840 trying to

01:18:04.180 get richer

01:18:04.720 and control

01:18:06.080 the world

01:18:06.540 and stuff,

01:18:06.960 that's

01:18:08.620 very unlikely

01:18:09.640 for somebody

01:18:10.300 that rich.

01:18:11.660 It's far

01:18:12.520 more likely

01:18:13.120 that he

01:18:14.180 wants to

01:18:14.980 not be

01:18:17.320 the guy

01:18:17.640 who made

01:18:18.000 a bunch

01:18:18.300 of money

01:18:18.600 and didn't

01:18:18.920 do anything.

01:18:20.780 Imagine,

01:18:21.400 if you will,

01:18:22.320 that you're

01:18:22.700 like the

01:18:23.260 richest guy

01:18:23.860 at one

01:18:24.260 point,

01:18:24.660 Bill Gates'

01:18:25.120 richest guy.

01:18:25.980 Imagine,

01:18:26.440 if you will,

01:18:26.920 that that's

01:18:27.300 what you've

01:18:28.000 done,

01:18:28.760 and you're

01:18:29.100 feeling real

01:18:29.480 good about

01:18:29.860 yourself,

01:18:30.840 and then

01:18:31.140 everybody in

01:18:31.700 the world

01:18:31.960 says,

01:18:32.600 that's all

01:18:33.080 you did?

01:18:34.500 You just

01:18:35.140 used a

01:18:35.500 monopoly to

01:18:36.040 get super

01:18:36.480 rich?

01:18:37.460 That's all

01:18:38.020 you did.

01:18:38.980 You did

01:18:39.560 nothing for

01:18:40.060 us.

01:18:40.920 You barely

01:18:41.320 paid taxes.

01:18:42.140 I don't

01:18:42.320 know if

01:18:42.520 that's true,

01:18:42.980 but people

01:18:43.660 will say

01:18:43.980 that.

01:18:44.540 That's all

01:18:44.920 you did.

01:18:45.460 You just

01:18:45.780 made a

01:18:46.040 bunch of

01:18:46.280 money and

01:18:46.580 then partied

01:18:47.040 with it.

01:18:50.400 That's

01:18:50.840 no life.

01:18:52.160 That's not

01:18:52.620 a life he

01:18:53.060 would enjoy.

01:18:53.980 Now imagine

01:18:54.460 the alternative.

01:18:55.600 Now imagine

01:18:56.000 the alternative.

01:18:57.000 He's the

01:18:57.380 richest guy,

01:18:58.740 but he

01:19:00.880 puts his

01:19:01.480 work and

01:19:03.740 all of his

01:19:04.440 efforts into

01:19:05.880 fixing

01:19:06.340 sanitation in

01:19:07.940 Africa,

01:19:09.240 curing malaria

01:19:10.160 and polio,

01:19:11.900 and doing

01:19:12.900 the hardest,

01:19:13.860 dirtiest,

01:19:14.380 most thankless

01:19:15.220 stuff.

01:19:16.100 And if he

01:19:16.460 can make

01:19:16.800 that stuff

01:19:17.280 work,

01:19:18.260 then he

01:19:18.740 may have

01:19:19.260 redeemed

01:19:19.660 himself to

01:19:21.220 be worthy

01:19:22.060 of the money

01:19:22.640 that he's

01:19:23.000 made.

01:19:23.940 That's how

01:19:24.720 I would

01:19:25.020 feel.

01:19:26.340 That's how

01:19:27.040 I would

01:19:27.320 feel.

01:19:28.400 Wouldn't

01:19:28.820 you?

01:19:28.980 Put yourself

01:19:30.480 in his

01:19:30.780 position.

01:19:32.080 You make

01:19:32.640 $100

01:19:33.440 billion and

01:19:34.580 you ran

01:19:35.060 out of

01:19:35.300 things to

01:19:35.660 buy for

01:19:36.020 yourself.

01:19:36.760 There's

01:19:37.060 nothing for

01:19:37.700 you with

01:19:38.180 that money.

01:19:39.580 You don't

01:19:39.940 want to leave

01:19:40.300 it to your

01:19:40.580 family.

01:19:40.980 It will

01:19:41.140 just make

01:19:41.480 them crazy.

01:19:42.940 So you

01:19:43.320 don't think

01:19:43.760 that you

01:19:44.080 would try

01:19:44.360 to do

01:19:44.680 good things,

01:19:46.680 like legitimately

01:19:47.320 good things,

01:19:48.160 so that the

01:19:49.320 world is better

01:19:50.000 off and they'll

01:19:50.680 have a better

01:19:51.120 feeling about

01:19:51.680 you, but

01:19:52.540 more importantly

01:19:53.080 you'll feel

01:19:53.500 good about

01:19:53.860 yourself.

01:19:55.020 See,

01:19:55.860 here's what I

01:19:56.720 think people

01:19:57.080 get wrong.

01:19:57.560 if you

01:20:00.680 view a

01:20:02.120 rich person

01:20:02.720 by their

01:20:03.460 pre-rich

01:20:04.540 personality,

01:20:05.720 you're going

01:20:06.360 to miss

01:20:06.640 the biggest

01:20:07.120 thing.

01:20:08.620 People who

01:20:09.300 are not

01:20:09.680 yet rich

01:20:10.260 will do

01:20:10.660 a lot of

01:20:11.080 sketchy

01:20:11.460 things to

01:20:11.860 get rich.

01:20:13.360 Once you

01:20:14.040 are rich

01:20:14.540 and you're

01:20:14.900 going to

01:20:15.000 stay that

01:20:15.380 way,

01:20:17.840 everything

01:20:19.300 that you

01:20:19.720 want in

01:20:20.220 life changes.

01:20:21.640 You'd like

01:20:22.080 people to

01:20:22.640 think you

01:20:23.620 are helping.

01:20:25.520 You'd like

01:20:25.900 people to

01:20:26.300 think you

01:20:26.700 added something.

01:20:28.400 That's very

01:20:29.080 much how I

01:20:29.640 feel.

01:20:30.240 That's my

01:20:30.940 arc.

01:20:31.620 I doubt

01:20:32.100 it feels

01:20:32.440 different for

01:20:32.900 him, but

01:20:33.820 he does a

01:20:34.360 bad job of

01:20:35.220 not looking

01:20:35.720 like a

01:20:36.100 monster.

01:20:38.180 I don't

01:20:38.740 think he's

01:20:39.160 completely

01:20:40.240 seeing the

01:20:42.380 whole field

01:20:43.000 in terms of

01:20:43.920 how he

01:20:44.400 looks when

01:20:45.540 he does

01:20:45.860 this thing.

01:20:46.600 He talks

01:20:47.540 like a

01:20:47.920 robot.

01:20:49.020 He just

01:20:49.360 describes

01:20:49.840 things cold.

01:20:51.720 I don't

01:20:52.280 know what

01:20:52.580 he would

01:20:52.840 say about

01:20:53.260 the

01:20:53.500 vaccination

01:20:54.000 program that

01:20:55.020 apparently had

01:20:55.700 bad outcomes

01:20:56.320 in Africa.

01:20:56.820 and he's

01:20:57.680 getting blamed

01:20:58.340 for pushing

01:20:59.460 some of

01:20:59.820 that.

01:21:00.160 I don't

01:21:00.380 know his

01:21:00.680 involvement.

01:21:01.880 But if I

01:21:02.740 had to

01:21:02.940 guess, he'd

01:21:05.380 probably say

01:21:05.780 something like

01:21:06.380 every new

01:21:08.420 advancement

01:21:08.860 kills people.

01:21:10.460 That's what

01:21:10.820 Elon Musk

01:21:11.300 says, roughly.

01:21:12.900 Elon Musk

01:21:13.560 says, yeah,

01:21:14.200 we're going to

01:21:14.660 get to Mars,

01:21:15.600 but people

01:21:16.420 will die.

01:21:19.520 Now, that's

01:21:20.540 transparent.

01:21:21.060 if Bill

01:21:23.480 Gates had

01:21:23.940 said the

01:21:24.300 same thing,

01:21:25.040 you might

01:21:25.420 feel

01:21:25.640 different.

01:21:26.880 Smosey

01:21:27.280 said, you

01:21:27.780 know, I

01:21:29.260 think the

01:21:29.600 vaccinations

01:21:30.140 of all

01:21:30.900 types, not

01:21:31.540 just COVID,

01:21:32.220 but all

01:21:32.600 types, I

01:21:33.400 think they're

01:21:33.720 more good

01:21:34.120 than bad,

01:21:34.720 but the

01:21:34.980 fact is,

01:21:35.420 they do

01:21:35.660 kill a

01:21:36.020 lot of

01:21:36.220 people.

01:21:37.380 They do

01:21:37.740 kill a

01:21:38.060 lot of

01:21:38.260 people.

01:21:38.780 And when

01:21:39.120 we do

01:21:39.460 human

01:21:39.860 trials, the

01:21:41.320 only reason

01:21:41.740 we do

01:21:42.040 human

01:21:42.360 trials is

01:21:43.220 to find

01:21:43.560 out if it

01:21:43.920 kills

01:21:44.120 people, and

01:21:44.600 sometimes it

01:21:45.140 does.

01:21:46.400 And, you

01:21:47.200 know, don't

01:21:47.500 want to

01:21:47.720 minimize that.

01:21:49.120 Don't want to

01:21:49.700 minimize that.

01:21:50.240 That's a big

01:21:50.760 deal.

01:21:51.060 You're

01:21:51.200 killing people

01:21:51.660 who didn't

01:21:51.920 need to

01:21:52.220 die.

01:21:52.840 But, there's

01:21:54.140 a reason we

01:21:54.620 do it.

01:21:55.740 You know, the

01:21:56.140 greater good or

01:21:56.760 something.

01:21:57.240 So I think he

01:21:57.820 could explain

01:21:58.400 it, but he's

01:21:59.400 not doing much

01:22:00.620 of a job,

01:22:01.100 though.

01:22:03.200 All right.

01:22:06.100 And then some

01:22:06.760 people think

01:22:07.240 that his

01:22:07.520 philanthropy is

01:22:08.760 a clever way

01:22:10.280 to funnel

01:22:11.280 money in his

01:22:12.080 direction.

01:22:13.120 So really, it's

01:22:14.040 all about, you

01:22:14.680 know, getting

01:22:14.960 more power and

01:22:15.660 stuff.

01:22:18.820 I doubt it.

01:22:20.240 I doubt it.

01:22:21.580 But here's

01:22:23.060 something I

01:22:23.460 learned in the

01:22:23.900 process.

01:22:24.700 So you know

01:22:25.200 TerraPower, which

01:22:26.380 is a new Gen

01:22:27.400 4 nuclear

01:22:29.180 power plant.

01:22:31.200 And TerraPower

01:22:32.900 was ready to

01:22:34.000 spin up their

01:22:35.080 first working

01:22:36.100 Generation 4

01:22:37.700 nuclear power

01:22:38.860 plant.

01:22:39.700 That's a big

01:22:40.540 deal.

01:22:41.860 That's like a

01:22:42.460 really big deal.

01:22:43.600 But it's on

01:22:44.500 hold.

01:22:44.860 because they

01:22:47.220 had to work

01:22:47.700 with Russia to

01:22:48.480 get the, whatever

01:22:50.000 the nuclear

01:22:50.580 materials are.

01:22:52.120 And, of course,

01:22:52.760 the war with

01:22:53.240 Russia.

01:22:54.080 And Ukraine

01:22:54.580 makes that

01:22:55.020 impossible.

01:22:55.820 So TerraPower,

01:22:56.800 one of the things

01:22:57.680 that could have

01:22:58.100 saved a

01:22:59.080 civilization, is

01:23:00.800 on hold.

01:23:02.740 Because of the

01:23:03.400 Ukraine war.

01:23:04.740 Nobody's ever

01:23:05.380 mentioned that.

01:23:07.060 Who has ever

01:23:07.860 mentioned that?

01:23:08.440 I feel like

01:23:12.040 that's a big

01:23:12.580 deal.

01:23:14.200 You know,

01:23:14.660 because climate

01:23:15.480 change is, no

01:23:17.600 matter what you

01:23:18.160 think about the

01:23:18.660 reality of it,

01:23:19.540 it's one of our

01:23:20.200 biggest topics and

01:23:21.240 one of the most

01:23:21.840 expensive things.

01:23:23.000 And if there was

01:23:23.620 something that was

01:23:24.240 happening that was

01:23:25.620 really going to be

01:23:26.480 one of the super

01:23:27.740 important platforms

01:23:29.620 to get us out of

01:23:30.500 the problem, if

01:23:31.160 there is one, and

01:23:32.860 suddenly it's on

01:23:33.500 hold, indefinitely,

01:23:35.960 and there's got to

01:23:36.660 be, I don't

01:23:38.420 there's got to be

01:23:39.500 a better way to

01:23:41.380 do that.

01:23:42.840 All right.

01:23:48.480 And I will allow

01:23:49.560 you to have

01:23:50.280 whatever opinions

01:23:50.980 you want of Bill

01:23:51.500 Gates.

01:23:51.840 I just wanted to

01:23:52.360 give you one

01:23:53.880 alternative view,

01:23:56.360 and then you can

01:23:56.900 make up your own

01:23:57.460 minds.

01:23:59.940 It was interesting

01:24:00.840 though, when I

01:24:01.340 watch Sam Harris

01:24:03.320 and Bill Gates

01:24:04.820 and me, by far

01:24:08.420 we get in the

01:24:09.100 most trouble

01:24:09.640 when we're

01:24:10.040 trying to do

01:24:10.580 something useful.

01:24:13.420 If I'm just

01:24:14.220 dicking around,

01:24:15.500 nobody cares.

01:24:17.840 If I'm just

01:24:18.520 mocking people or

01:24:19.440 whatever, nobody

01:24:19.860 cares.

01:24:20.700 It's just jokes.

01:24:21.740 But as soon as I

01:24:22.460 try to be useful,

01:24:24.120 like help you

01:24:25.720 through decision

01:24:26.440 making and stuff,

01:24:28.200 then all of a

01:24:28.880 sudden I'm Satan.

01:24:30.640 do you remember

01:24:43.220 my prediction about

01:24:44.160 George Soros?

01:24:46.620 I'll remind you.

01:24:48.480 The only way I can

01:24:49.880 understand George

01:24:50.780 Soros is that he

01:24:53.020 doesn't know exactly

01:24:53.900 what he's doing.

01:24:54.500 that there may be

01:24:59.140 entities that are

01:24:59.980 asking for money

01:25:00.800 and they're going

01:25:01.520 through a third

01:25:02.340 party, and the

01:25:03.700 third party who

01:25:04.500 helps make the

01:25:05.360 specific decisions,

01:25:07.020 they're lying to

01:25:08.400 the people they're

01:25:09.400 giving the money

01:25:09.920 to, maybe even

01:25:10.980 taking kickbacks,

01:25:12.340 and they're probably

01:25:13.400 lying to Soros.

01:25:14.840 So I don't think

01:25:15.660 Soros is on the

01:25:17.680 ball enough to

01:25:18.460 know what the

01:25:19.520 people who are

01:25:20.300 downstream from

01:25:21.180 him are actually

01:25:21.800 doing.

01:25:22.060 I think they're

01:25:23.460 telling him, oh,

01:25:24.180 we gave some money

01:25:25.500 to this great

01:25:26.180 organization, it's

01:25:27.000 called Black Lives

01:25:27.760 Matter, and they're

01:25:28.380 going to end

01:25:28.780 discrimination in the

01:25:29.700 United States.

01:25:30.880 And then Soros goes,

01:25:31.720 all right, here's

01:25:32.280 some money, tell me

01:25:33.740 how it's going.

01:25:35.100 And six months

01:25:35.920 later, after there

01:25:36.640 have been riots

01:25:37.460 and shit and

01:25:38.160 everything's bad,

01:25:39.520 they'll come back

01:25:40.060 and say, it looks

01:25:40.660 like it's working.

01:25:42.040 I think we've

01:25:42.600 really made a dent

01:25:43.600 in the public

01:25:44.120 consciousness, the

01:25:44.980 conversation is, you

01:25:46.360 know, on the

01:25:46.840 things we want, it's

01:25:47.680 working, so we need

01:25:48.920 some more money to

01:25:49.780 keep it working.

01:25:51.240 And Soros says,

01:25:51.960 that sounds good,

01:25:53.080 here's some more

01:25:53.600 money.

01:25:54.700 That's what I think

01:25:55.500 is happening.

01:25:56.680 I think that Soros

01:25:57.760 is no longer

01:25:59.120 fully competent,

01:26:00.820 and the people

01:26:01.660 that spend his

01:26:02.900 money or allocate

01:26:04.040 his money now

01:26:05.220 control him.

01:26:06.600 They control him

01:26:07.700 by lying about

01:26:09.240 what they're doing

01:26:09.800 so that they can

01:26:10.780 get a better cut

01:26:11.900 of his money.

01:26:13.320 So I think he's

01:26:14.080 surrounded by

01:26:14.860 grifters and

01:26:16.000 con artists,

01:26:17.360 and that the real

01:26:18.740 story is that he's

01:26:19.640 a victim, even

01:26:22.080 though he's the

01:26:22.820 cause of, you

01:26:24.420 know, most of

01:26:25.220 the energy and

01:26:25.760 the action, he's

01:26:26.300 the cause.

01:26:27.280 So he's the

01:26:27.800 original cause, but

01:26:29.500 I think it's

01:26:30.000 coming back and

01:26:30.860 eating him alive.

01:26:32.440 I think that he

01:26:33.200 tried to do

01:26:34.100 something that he

01:26:35.020 thought was good

01:26:35.740 that you don't,

01:26:38.140 and he dealt

01:26:39.600 with too many

01:26:40.100 evil people, and

01:26:40.820 they're just

01:26:41.540 robbing him at

01:26:42.220 this point.

01:26:42.700 I think he's

01:26:43.040 just getting

01:26:43.360 robbed.

01:26:43.700 He backed

01:26:47.300 down to the

01:26:47.720 Davos meeting?

01:26:48.500 That could be

01:26:49.020 because of

01:26:49.400 health.

01:26:50.140 So he's at

01:26:51.120 an age where

01:26:51.700 you have to

01:26:52.720 assume that

01:26:53.260 there's other

01:26:54.120 stuff going on.

01:26:57.340 Soros has

01:26:57.980 lost the

01:26:58.540 public perception

01:26:59.460 game.

01:26:59.820 Yeah, he's

01:27:00.120 definitely lost

01:27:00.640 that.

01:27:06.440 Robert says,

01:27:07.300 I'd stick up

01:27:08.000 for every rich

01:27:08.660 guy in public

01:27:09.340 too.

01:27:10.060 Do I stand

01:27:10.600 up for every

01:27:11.100 rich guy?

01:27:11.520 Do you

01:27:13.620 remember me

01:27:14.260 defending

01:27:14.900 Epstein?

01:27:15.520 That didn't

01:27:15.920 happen.

01:27:18.360 How about

01:27:19.040 OJ?

01:27:19.840 Was I on

01:27:20.600 Team OJ?

01:27:21.980 How about

01:27:22.380 Weinstein?

01:27:23.760 Was I pro

01:27:24.600 Weinstein?

01:27:25.160 Because he was

01:27:25.500 pretty rich.

01:27:27.680 I'm so not

01:27:28.940 pro rich

01:27:30.540 people.

01:27:31.620 Like, nothing

01:27:32.180 like that.

01:27:33.380 It's crazy.

01:27:37.140 All right.

01:27:40.660 Yeah, I

01:27:41.400 never got an

01:27:42.680 invitation to

01:27:43.740 the island,

01:27:44.280 so therefore

01:27:45.620 he must die.

01:27:47.020 Well, I guess

01:27:47.360 he did.

01:27:48.100 Maybe.

01:27:51.880 Yeah, if I

01:27:52.680 did it from

01:27:53.160 OJ.

01:27:54.280 All right.

01:28:00.360 WEF video.

01:28:01.880 How can we

01:28:02.520 make a world

01:28:03.160 government?

01:28:04.360 You know,

01:28:04.740 one of the

01:28:05.200 problems that

01:28:05.620 the WEF has

01:28:06.820 is that they

01:28:07.980 allow diverse

01:28:10.720 voices to

01:28:12.900 form opinions

01:28:13.980 and, you

01:28:14.960 know, it

01:28:15.240 gets, I

01:28:16.440 guess, published

01:28:17.000 under the

01:28:17.460 WEF banner

01:28:19.520 there.

01:28:20.160 So I feel

01:28:20.840 like they

01:28:21.280 promote a lot

01:28:22.200 of opinions

01:28:22.700 that are not

01:28:23.200 necessarily some

01:28:24.500 kind of a group

01:28:25.100 opinion.

01:28:26.020 So I think

01:28:26.460 that's part of

01:28:27.060 it.

01:28:27.660 You're just

01:28:28.020 seeing some

01:28:28.420 diverse opinions.

01:28:29.220 Well, allow,

01:28:32.940 yeah, it's

01:28:33.240 an organization.

01:28:34.640 They have to

01:28:34.980 allow.

01:28:39.140 You're not

01:28:39.740 worth considering

01:28:40.360 in the same

01:28:40.820 conversation as

01:28:41.600 those guys.

01:28:43.320 All right.

01:28:51.220 All right.

01:28:52.620 Epstein Island

01:28:53.360 was overrated,
