Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2047 Scott Adams： Bank Shenanigans, Hunter Finances Malarkey, Fauci Sketchiness, Climate

00:00:00.120 Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:05.340 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization.

00:00:09.620 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:11.680 There's never been a fight in time.

00:00:13.600 If you'd like to enjoy it in the way that people like you enjoy things,

00:00:19.040 all you need is a little extra.

00:00:20.620 And all that extra is a cup or mug or a glass, a tankard, chalice or stein,

00:00:24.180 a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:26.660 And you'd fill that vessel with your favorite liquid.

00:00:30.120 I like coffee.

00:00:31.660 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine here of the day,

00:00:34.480 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:35.720 And don't you wish I talked this fast for the rest of the podcast,

00:00:38.600 because sometimes when I talk, some people say it's not fast enough.

00:00:41.280 But if I talk faster, it'd be like this.

00:00:43.000 Sip.

00:00:46.800 Yeah, that's good.

00:00:49.920 Well, we're going to start with the important stories first

00:00:53.240 and then get to the nonsense.

00:00:54.980 Important story first.

00:00:58.360 A zebra attacked a man in Ohio and bit his arm.

00:01:03.840 Police were called and police put down the zebra.

00:01:07.980 You might think it's a race crime,

00:01:10.760 but zebras are almost perfectly striped white and black.

00:01:15.540 So it's a little ambiguous whether that's a race crime or not.

00:01:18.740 But so the zebra was killed by the police

00:01:21.020 and they speculated that the zebra was being aggressive

00:01:24.740 because it was protecting some of the other female zebras. 1.00

00:01:29.380 And this raises a big question.

00:01:34.480 How many zebras are there in Ohio? 0.73

00:01:38.020 Because apparently it was at somebody's home.

00:01:40.920 How many zebras did that one person have? 0.98

00:01:45.040 Makes you wonder.

00:01:46.380 What is the maximum number of zebras you could have in Ohio?

00:01:50.160 And how many of the zebras died from toxic water from a train wreck?

00:01:55.260 These are many questions that are not answered in this story.

00:01:58.580 But in maybe related news, I don't know, this is on Fox News,

00:02:03.820 a moose attacked a snowmobiler in Idaho.

00:02:07.680 A snowmobiler lived.

00:02:09.080 And I'm starting to think it's connected.

00:02:14.640 Do you think the animals are just pissed?

00:02:17.460 They've had enough?

00:02:19.260 I feel like it's a...

00:02:20.300 Yeah, it's an uprising.

00:02:21.800 This feels like an insurrection, if I may use that word.

00:02:25.620 It's like January 6th all over again.

00:02:28.540 I think it's some kind of a takeover attempt.

00:02:31.380 Now, if the animals do organize,

00:02:33.920 and here I'm assuming that they'll bring in their allies,

00:02:36.820 the fish and the birds,

00:02:38.360 the animals will have not only ground forces,

00:02:42.800 but a navy and an air force.

00:02:46.640 Yeah.

00:02:47.240 So I'm a little worried about the animals organizing.

00:02:50.360 With any luck, AI will form a robot army

00:02:53.300 and destroy all the animals.

00:02:56.120 So, I mean, it might be a fair fight.

00:02:59.840 Let me suggest a following theme

00:03:02.460 that you're going to see more of in the future.

00:03:04.880 Art that is supported by advertising is corrupt.

00:03:13.260 That's my statement.

00:03:14.700 Art, of any kind of art,

00:03:16.300 whether it's writing or comics or even music,

00:03:20.460 if you depend on advertisers,

00:03:23.320 it's corrupt art.

00:03:24.580 And corrupt, by corrupt,

00:03:27.060 I mean it's not the artist's idea

00:03:29.080 of what it should be.

00:03:30.920 It's the artist's best attempt

00:03:32.920 to stay within the narrow lines.

00:03:35.720 So I believe that if you're watching

00:03:37.580 advertiser-supported art

00:03:39.400 of any kind,

00:03:41.200 it's corrupt.

00:03:42.540 I mean, it might still be entertaining,

00:03:44.540 but it's corrupt in the sense

00:03:46.020 that it's not art.

00:03:46.860 It's just commerce

00:03:48.960 because it's got to paint

00:03:50.760 between the narrow lines

00:03:51.900 of what's available.

00:03:53.580 Now, art is supposed to challenge you.

00:03:57.000 Not always.

00:03:57.720 I mean, some art can be benign.

00:04:00.160 But one of the greatest values of art

00:04:02.580 is shocking you,

00:04:04.840 moving you to where you're not,

00:04:06.460 stretching your ideas of things.

00:04:08.240 Nobody's going to do that

00:04:09.380 in an advertiser-supported world

00:04:11.280 because you'll be canceled.

00:04:12.700 But in the subscription world,

00:04:15.820 people are there

00:04:17.680 because they want to be there.

00:04:19.240 So Dilbert being moved

00:04:20.860 from newspapers,

00:04:21.820 which were advertiser-supported,

00:04:24.280 mostly,

00:04:25.100 to a world on the locals' platform

00:04:27.680 where I can do what I want,

00:04:29.640 I have to tell you

00:04:30.480 the creative freedom

00:04:32.680 that I'm feeling

00:04:34.040 is the best feeling I've had

00:04:35.940 actually ever creatively.

00:04:38.880 Because even when I began

00:04:40.360 in the early days of the comic,

00:04:42.060 I was always thinking,

00:04:43.500 uh-oh,

00:04:44.160 I can't go too far

00:04:45.340 because the comics

00:04:46.800 have to be for everybody.

00:04:47.940 It's for children 0.53

00:04:48.540 and adults and everything.

00:04:50.440 So I was always self-censoring.

00:04:53.560 And then, you know,

00:04:54.280 by the time I got canceled,

00:04:55.620 they were censoring me.

00:04:57.360 But now on Locals,

00:04:59.220 the only thing that censors me

00:05:01.000 is my own sense

00:05:02.800 of what people would want

00:05:04.140 to enjoy as art.

00:05:06.160 That's my only limit.

00:05:07.780 I say to myself,

00:05:08.680 would you enjoy this?

00:05:10.520 Does this look like

00:05:11.340 something you'd laugh at?

00:05:13.160 And then it's good.

00:05:15.180 So, you know,

00:05:16.400 I'm not going to go crazy

00:05:17.420 and do a bunch of, like,

00:05:18.760 bathroom humor. 0.93

00:05:19.920 It's not going to be like that.

00:05:21.460 It's just that I can do it.

00:05:23.640 You know,

00:05:23.800 if something was unusually funny,

00:05:26.020 I might say,

00:05:26.860 well, I don't usually do that,

00:05:28.260 but I can.

00:05:29.140 I can add a fourth panel.

00:05:30.380 I can change.

00:05:31.540 I can edit it

00:05:32.500 after it's published.

00:05:33.280 I can publish it

00:05:35.060 and then edit it

00:05:36.280 and change it.

00:05:36.900 I can do two comics.

00:05:38.420 I mean,

00:05:38.640 the freedom is insane.

00:05:40.020 It's just the best feeling.

00:05:42.140 So thanks to all the,

00:05:43.300 anybody who signed up

00:05:44.300 for the subscription site.

00:05:45.820 I appreciate it immensely.

00:05:48.100 Well,

00:05:48.540 here's another important story.

00:05:49.820 I guess British jails

00:05:51.280 have female guards 0.99

00:05:52.540 for the male prisons.

00:05:54.720 Did you know that?

00:05:56.080 Do we do that in America?

00:05:58.180 Do we have female prison guards 1.00

00:05:59.880 in all male?

00:06:01.600 We do.

00:06:03.960 Does that sound like

00:06:04.960 the worst idea in the world?

00:06:08.200 All right,

00:06:08.760 here's what's happening

00:06:09.480 in Great Britain.

00:06:12.780 Now,

00:06:13.340 this is,

00:06:13.700 this is correlated

00:06:14.560 to my theory

00:06:15.360 that over time,

00:06:17.260 the only people

00:06:17.980 who will be shoe salesmen

00:06:19.560 are men with a foot fetish

00:06:21.680 because the free market

00:06:24.760 should make it

00:06:26.900 so that people

00:06:27.680 are getting an extra benefit

00:06:29.160 from working that job,

00:06:30.360 would take a lower salary

00:06:31.660 to do it

00:06:32.240 because they get

00:06:32.980 the extra benefit

00:06:33.720 of the excitement.

00:06:34.960 So I always think

00:06:35.660 that if you wait long enough,

00:06:37.360 all shoe salesmen

00:06:38.420 will have foot fetishes

00:06:39.400 because they're the ones

00:06:40.540 who would work

00:06:40.980 for the least amount of money

00:06:42.060 and still do the best job.

00:06:44.720 But apparently,

00:06:46.140 if you hire women 0.99

00:06:47.840 for an all-male jail,

00:06:52.200 it turns out

00:06:52.960 that at least in Great Britain,

00:06:54.660 they're not all there

00:06:55.800 for the right reason.

00:06:56.640 So apparently,

00:07:00.480 the female guards

00:07:01.500 have been banging

00:07:02.160 the prisoners like crazy.

00:07:05.940 And since,

00:07:07.060 since 2019,

00:07:09.120 a total of 31 women 0.98

00:07:10.680 across England and Wales

00:07:11.820 have been fired from jails

00:07:13.060 for intimate relationships

00:07:14.300 with inmates.

00:07:15.480 Now,

00:07:15.820 that's the ones

00:07:16.360 who got caught.

00:07:18.220 That's just the ones

00:07:19.480 who got caught.

00:07:20.220 And now,

00:07:22.520 how many female guards 1.00

00:07:24.620 are there

00:07:25.060 in Great Britain and Wales?

00:07:26.740 I mean,

00:07:26.920 I don't know

00:07:27.300 what the total population is,

00:07:28.900 but this is just

00:07:29.800 the ones who got caught.

00:07:31.960 I would think

00:07:32.800 that over time,

00:07:34.420 the only female guards 0.79

00:07:35.840 you would have

00:07:36.240 working in prisons

00:07:36.900 are ones that are there

00:07:37.960 because they want

00:07:38.520 to bang the prisoners.

00:07:40.900 Like,

00:07:41.240 have a boyfriend

00:07:41.920 who can't,

00:07:43.640 you want a boyfriend

00:07:44.600 who probably won't

00:07:45.980 cheat on you? 0.64

00:07:47.400 But even,

00:07:48.120 they probably do too.

00:07:48.880 So,

00:07:50.360 anyway,

00:07:51.620 I don't know.

00:07:53.780 I don't think anybody

00:07:54.420 got hurt

00:07:55.060 by any of these

00:07:56.260 so-called crimes.

00:07:58.180 Sounds like they all

00:07:59.080 had a good time,

00:07:59.840 but you don't want

00:08:00.420 those prisoners

00:08:00.960 to be too happy.

00:08:02.580 Then,

00:08:02.860 you know,

00:08:03.080 they'll be doing crimes

00:08:04.500 just to get into jail.

00:08:06.480 Imagine being a prisoner

00:08:07.680 and you're dating

00:08:09.480 your guard.

00:08:11.920 I mean,

00:08:12.760 I don't know

00:08:15.060 if you've ever

00:08:16.080 had that fantasy,

00:08:17.680 but

00:08:17.820 it's probably

00:08:20.060 somebody's fantasy.

00:08:21.640 All right,

00:08:21.820 let's talk about UFOs.

00:08:23.240 Yet another

00:08:23.880 military pilot

00:08:26.140 is yet again

00:08:28.100 saying that he

00:08:28.920 and his other

00:08:29.460 pilot friends

00:08:30.200 have seen

00:08:31.080 unidentified

00:08:32.180 objects.

00:08:34.820 He encourages us

00:08:35.900 not to think of them

00:08:36.920 as necessarily

00:08:37.780 alien,

00:08:39.460 but unexplained.

00:08:41.100 And he says,

00:08:42.100 two aircraft

00:08:42.660 from my squadron,

00:08:43.600 this is on Fox News

00:08:44.660 sites,

00:08:45.700 two aircraft

00:08:46.300 from my squadron

00:08:47.140 were flying

00:08:47.620 side by side

00:08:48.360 and one of

00:08:49.140 these objects

00:08:49.700 went right

00:08:50.320 between their

00:08:50.980 aircraft,

00:08:51.620 he added.

00:08:53.880 It looked like

00:08:54.920 a dark cube

00:08:56.900 inside of a

00:08:57.940 plastic bubble

00:08:59.100 or a clear sphere.

00:09:01.080 What did he say?

00:09:01.960 It looked like

00:09:02.420 a dark gray

00:09:02.960 or black cube

00:09:04.000 inside a clear sphere.

00:09:06.080 Do you think

00:09:07.680 the unexplained

00:09:09.560 object

00:09:10.120 was engineered

00:09:12.600 and designed

00:09:13.420 such that

00:09:14.880 it's a

00:09:15.560 dark gray

00:09:16.880 or black

00:09:17.400 cube

00:09:17.840 inside a clear

00:09:18.700 sphere?

00:09:20.100 What are the

00:09:20.940 odds

00:09:22.200 that even

00:09:23.840 an alien

00:09:24.460 or advanced

00:09:25.160 civilization

00:09:25.980 created it

00:09:27.400 to look like

00:09:28.080 some kind

00:09:30.880 of a cube

00:09:31.820 inside a clear

00:09:32.760 sphere?

00:09:33.140 does any

00:09:35.380 of this

00:09:35.720 sound real

00:09:36.560 to you?

00:09:38.300 Now I don't

00:09:39.020 know what

00:09:39.360 is happening

00:09:39.840 especially

00:09:41.060 when there

00:09:41.660 are multiple

00:09:42.300 witnesses.

00:09:44.800 I don't know

00:09:45.220 what's happening

00:09:45.740 but I don't

00:09:46.860 think that

00:09:47.260 they're seeing

00:09:47.840 advanced alien

00:09:49.520 crafts

00:09:50.020 or advanced

00:09:50.880 crafts.

00:09:51.920 I don't know

00:09:52.640 what it is

00:09:53.240 but it seems

00:09:54.780 like the least

00:09:55.440 likely explanation

00:09:56.420 is advanced

00:09:57.460 technology.

00:09:58.800 That feels

00:09:59.360 like the least

00:10:00.080 likely explanation.

00:10:01.660 How about you?

00:10:02.180 Would you say

00:10:03.220 that these

00:10:04.080 sightings

00:10:04.680 would suggest

00:10:05.320 not that

00:10:05.820 they're UFOs

00:10:06.740 or aliens

00:10:07.260 not that

00:10:08.060 they're aliens

00:10:08.540 but it could

00:10:09.340 be some

00:10:09.920 Earth-made

00:10:11.720 technology

00:10:12.360 that we're

00:10:12.720 not aware

00:10:13.120 of?

00:10:13.680 Does anybody

00:10:14.320 think it's

00:10:15.360 real?

00:10:17.140 As in there's

00:10:17.960 a real thing

00:10:19.080 up there that

00:10:19.520 we need to

00:10:19.940 know about?

00:10:21.620 Yeah, I don't

00:10:22.360 think it's real.

00:10:24.360 It has all

00:10:25.340 the tells

00:10:25.880 for not being

00:10:26.580 real.

00:10:27.380 Really all of

00:10:28.060 them.

00:10:28.280 It has every

00:10:28.720 tell for not

00:10:29.260 being real.

00:10:30.240 The part that's

00:10:31.140 convincing

00:10:31.640 is that there

00:10:33.140 are credible

00:10:33.740 people more

00:10:35.340 than one

00:10:35.960 in many

00:10:37.000 cases more

00:10:37.680 than one

00:10:38.160 seeing the

00:10:39.200 same phenomenon

00:10:39.880 and describing

00:10:40.840 it the same.

00:10:42.520 What would

00:10:43.180 that tell you

00:10:43.660 about the

00:10:44.020 credibility?

00:10:45.300 So it's on

00:10:45.740 instruments

00:10:46.360 so they know

00:10:48.360 there's something

00:10:48.740 there.

00:10:49.960 And humans

00:10:50.980 see it too.

00:10:54.200 That isn't

00:10:55.180 even a little

00:10:55.820 bit convincing

00:10:56.440 to me.

00:10:57.420 In the real

00:10:58.020 world that

00:10:58.600 isn't even a

00:10:59.280 little bit

00:10:59.680 convincing.

00:11:00.060 I don't

00:11:00.780 rule it

00:11:01.120 out.

00:11:02.620 So if we

00:11:03.260 find out

00:11:03.700 there's

00:11:03.900 something up

00:11:04.600 there in

00:11:04.860 the future

00:11:05.220 I'll say

00:11:06.600 well I'm

00:11:07.720 let's say

00:11:08.920 I didn't

00:11:09.500 think it

00:11:09.840 was true

00:11:10.280 but I

00:11:11.280 wouldn't

00:11:11.520 rule it

00:11:11.960 out.

00:11:12.580 I'd put it

00:11:13.080 in the

00:11:13.360 10% range

00:11:14.320 maybe 10%

00:11:15.800 likely there's

00:11:16.440 something up

00:11:16.820 there that's

00:11:17.180 real that we

00:11:17.920 care about.

00:11:20.060 All right

00:11:20.780 did anybody

00:11:21.860 see RFK

00:11:23.320 Jr.

00:11:24.000 talking about

00:11:24.680 Dr.

00:11:25.300 Fauci?

00:11:25.620 and I

00:11:26.780 saw some

00:11:27.920 accusations

00:11:28.620 that I've

00:11:29.900 not seen

00:11:30.480 in the

00:11:30.900 regular

00:11:31.220 news.

00:11:32.680 But it's

00:11:33.060 the most

00:11:33.380 disturbing

00:11:33.980 thing I've

00:11:34.500 ever seen

00:11:34.840 in my

00:11:35.140 life.

00:11:36.280 Have you

00:11:36.700 heard the

00:11:37.080 latest

00:11:37.440 RFK?

00:11:38.480 Now I'm

00:11:38.980 not sure I

00:11:39.380 have all

00:11:39.660 the details

00:11:40.280 but it's

00:11:41.320 something like

00:11:42.160 roughly speaking

00:11:43.880 but don't

00:11:45.040 hold me to

00:11:45.800 the details.

00:11:47.160 Roughly

00:11:47.540 speaking

00:11:48.100 Fauci took

00:11:49.540 a

00:11:49.780 sometime in

00:11:51.040 the past

00:11:51.580 took a

00:11:52.620 huge raise

00:11:53.500 to help

00:11:54.400 the military

00:11:55.120 develop

00:11:55.880 some kind

00:11:59.480 of gain

00:11:59.800 of function

00:12:00.360 viruses.

00:12:01.900 And that

00:12:02.280 he had

00:12:02.740 several places

00:12:03.780 he was

00:12:04.220 funding in

00:12:04.980 the United

00:12:05.340 States to

00:12:05.960 do it,

00:12:06.560 bioweapons I

00:12:07.240 guess,

00:12:07.840 and that

00:12:08.980 when the

00:12:09.900 heat was

00:12:10.600 put on

00:12:11.040 him he

00:12:12.120 moved some

00:12:13.080 of it to

00:12:13.580 Wuhan to

00:12:14.700 get it

00:12:14.960 out of

00:12:15.220 the US.

00:12:16.360 Is that

00:12:16.920 even

00:12:17.320 possible?

00:12:19.720 Is there

00:12:20.500 a clear

00:12:21.140 signal that

00:12:22.420 he took

00:12:22.740 a gigantic

00:12:23.360 raise,

00:12:24.120 made a

00:12:24.420 lot of

00:12:24.680 money,

00:12:25.640 did something

00:12:26.200 in the

00:12:26.480 United States

00:12:27.060 that we

00:12:27.340 had to

00:12:27.620 chase out

00:12:28.060 of the

00:12:28.260 country,

00:12:28.700 and then

00:12:28.900 he kept

00:12:29.180 doing it

00:12:29.560 in Wuhan,

00:12:30.360 and then

00:12:30.800 when he

00:12:31.100 got caught,

00:12:32.420 he said

00:12:34.280 none of

00:12:34.620 it happened?

00:12:36.260 Did that

00:12:36.860 really happen?

00:12:38.180 Because here's

00:12:38.700 what's wrong,

00:12:39.600 it's not in

00:12:40.040 the news.

00:12:41.780 It's not in

00:12:42.460 the regular

00:12:42.900 news,

00:12:43.780 even on

00:12:44.260 Fox News,

00:12:45.120 is it?

00:12:46.300 So why is

00:12:46.820 it not even

00:12:47.320 on Fox

00:12:47.940 News?

00:12:49.360 Because

00:12:49.760 RFK Jr.

00:12:51.140 is pretty

00:12:51.500 credible at

00:12:52.180 this point,

00:12:52.680 wouldn't you

00:12:53.000 say?

00:12:54.080 I don't

00:12:54.660 think he

00:12:54.960 makes stuff

00:12:55.600 up.

00:12:57.000 So what's

00:12:57.800 going on

00:12:58.200 here?

00:12:59.360 I don't

00:12:59.920 know what's

00:13:00.180 going on.

00:13:01.580 This is

00:13:02.080 like two

00:13:03.760 things that

00:13:04.300 can't be

00:13:04.740 true at

00:13:05.040 the same

00:13:05.340 time.

00:13:06.260 It can't

00:13:06.700 be true

00:13:07.020 that RFK

00:13:07.960 Jr.

00:13:08.280 is making

00:13:08.660 that up,

00:13:09.560 but it

00:13:10.360 can't be

00:13:10.720 true that

00:13:11.080 it's true,

00:13:12.000 because it

00:13:12.500 would be

00:13:12.700 in the

00:13:12.920 regular

00:13:13.180 news.

00:13:13.760 It would

00:13:13.940 be like

00:13:14.240 the biggest

00:13:14.580 story.

00:13:15.320 So what's

00:13:15.680 going on?

00:13:17.860 Does anybody

00:13:18.560 have any

00:13:19.000 idea?

00:13:19.680 It's in

00:13:19.980 his book.

00:13:21.360 So that's

00:13:21.820 in his

00:13:22.140 book, which

00:13:22.600 means it's

00:13:23.040 probably

00:13:23.420 documented and

00:13:24.320 researched, and

00:13:25.100 it's just not

00:13:25.580 in the news.

00:13:27.160 What's going

00:13:27.800 on?

00:13:29.840 I don't

00:13:30.400 know.

00:13:30.740 I guess I'm

00:13:31.420 just going to

00:13:31.780 leave it as

00:13:32.320 I have no

00:13:33.080 idea what

00:13:34.420 is happening

00:13:34.820 here.

00:13:35.600 I don't

00:13:36.220 know if

00:13:37.260 the news

00:13:37.740 has gathered

00:13:38.300 around suppressing

00:13:39.820 the story,

00:13:40.960 or maybe the

00:13:42.780 way the story

00:13:43.380 is told has

00:13:44.180 got an element

00:13:45.460 in it that

00:13:46.060 the regular

00:13:47.500 news doesn't

00:13:48.120 think is

00:13:48.460 quite true.

00:13:50.300 I can't

00:13:50.660 tell.

00:13:51.860 All right,

00:13:52.440 well, that's

00:13:52.780 disturbing.

00:13:54.040 Here's a

00:13:54.540 story you

00:13:55.080 were waiting

00:13:55.420 for.

00:13:55.800 Hunter's

00:13:56.320 financial

00:13:57.240 transactions

00:13:58.040 are going

00:13:58.440 to be

00:13:58.600 looked at.

00:13:59.600 Apparently,

00:14:00.180 the House

00:14:00.480 Oversight

00:14:00.920 Committee

00:14:01.200 has been

00:14:01.460 trying to

00:14:01.820 get Hunter

00:14:02.880 Biden's

00:14:03.400 finance

00:14:03.900 banking

00:14:04.400 records,

00:14:05.200 because there's

00:14:05.720 stuff in

00:14:06.060 the laptop

00:14:06.520 that suggests

00:14:07.240 some sketchy

00:14:08.480 transactions.

00:14:09.000 And I

00:14:10.560 guess whoever

00:14:12.480 it was in

00:14:13.180 the Biden

00:14:13.480 administration

00:14:13.980 was stalling,

00:14:14.820 of course.

00:14:16.120 But it

00:14:16.640 looks like

00:14:16.940 they're finally

00:14:17.320 going to get

00:14:17.720 it, because

00:14:18.140 they turned

00:14:19.600 up the heat

00:14:20.180 and they said

00:14:20.580 they were going

00:14:20.860 to bring in

00:14:21.380 the people

00:14:21.760 who were

00:14:21.980 stalling and

00:14:23.320 questioned

00:14:24.080 them under

00:14:24.580 oath, which

00:14:27.360 freed it up.

00:14:28.500 So now we're

00:14:29.020 going to see

00:14:29.780 something about

00:14:30.980 the allegations

00:14:32.000 that the

00:14:34.720 Biden associates

00:14:35.640 received a

00:14:36.780 $3 million

00:14:37.400 wire from a

00:14:38.540 Chinese energy

00:14:39.200 company, two

00:14:40.440 months after

00:14:40.960 Joe Biden

00:14:41.400 left the

00:14:42.160 vice-presidency,

00:14:43.840 blah, blah,

00:14:44.200 blah, soon

00:14:44.660 after hundreds

00:14:45.200 of thousands

00:14:45.680 of dollars

00:14:46.100 in payouts

00:14:46.760 went to

00:14:47.620 members of

00:14:48.180 the Biden

00:14:48.560 family.

00:14:49.000 So that's

00:14:49.240 an accusation

00:14:50.000 and it's an

00:14:51.580 allegation.

00:14:52.880 So let's

00:14:53.260 just say

00:14:53.560 that's an

00:14:53.920 allegation and

00:14:55.500 not a fact

00:14:56.660 yet.

00:14:58.420 I mean,

00:14:58.620 it's not an

00:14:59.080 established fact,

00:15:00.000 but it might

00:15:00.440 be, but it's

00:15:01.280 an allegation.

00:15:04.300 And I think

00:15:05.120 we're going to

00:15:05.520 actually find

00:15:06.220 out.

00:15:06.620 What do

00:15:08.700 you think?

00:15:12.080 Do you

00:15:12.740 think we're

00:15:13.660 actually going

00:15:14.120 to find out

00:15:14.800 what Hunter

00:15:15.960 Biden actually

00:15:16.760 did before

00:15:17.480 the next

00:15:18.260 presidential

00:15:18.780 election?

00:15:20.600 It doesn't

00:15:21.380 feel like it,

00:15:22.480 does it?

00:15:23.560 It feels like

00:15:24.580 it's going to

00:15:24.900 be more of

00:15:25.660 nothing, even

00:15:26.800 though every

00:15:27.360 part of it

00:15:27.820 looks like it

00:15:28.340 should be

00:15:28.680 something and

00:15:29.240 something big.

00:15:30.320 So here's the

00:15:31.080 funniest part of

00:15:31.660 the story.

00:15:32.040 I don't

00:15:34.600 know if

00:15:34.840 it's still

00:15:35.200 there, but

00:15:36.280 the way Fox

00:15:36.920 News covered

00:15:37.520 this, so I'm

00:15:38.220 talking about

00:15:38.800 Fox's coverage,

00:15:39.700 of course it's

00:15:40.200 not on CNN,

00:15:42.120 in case you

00:15:42.820 wondered.

00:15:43.400 Yeah, it's

00:15:43.700 not covered

00:15:44.120 on CNN.

00:15:46.600 A gigantic

00:15:47.640 potential story.

00:15:49.460 I don't even

00:15:49.940 think it's

00:15:50.320 mentioned.

00:15:52.180 You can

00:15:52.600 check for

00:15:52.920 yourself, but

00:15:53.500 I think it's

00:15:54.020 not mentioned.

00:15:55.440 This seems

00:15:56.180 like really,

00:15:57.360 really big,

00:15:57.920 but here's the

00:15:58.340 best part of

00:15:58.800 the story.

00:15:59.180 The best

00:16:00.980 part of the

00:16:01.340 story is that

00:16:01.880 whoever does

00:16:02.360 the headlines

00:16:02.960 for Fox

00:16:03.600 News, they

00:16:04.940 caption the

00:16:05.900 story, the

00:16:06.420 walls are

00:16:06.800 closing in.

00:16:09.260 Now that's

00:16:10.180 funny.

00:16:11.280 That is

00:16:11.800 funny.

00:16:12.660 Whoever does

00:16:13.420 the little

00:16:13.720 captions that

00:16:14.440 are over the

00:16:14.900 stories, obviously

00:16:17.300 tongue-in-cheek,

00:16:18.980 and I believe

00:16:19.560 that they're

00:16:20.340 making reference

00:16:21.820 to the walls

00:16:22.840 are always

00:16:23.180 closing in on

00:16:23.840 Trump, but

00:16:24.980 Hunter Biden

00:16:25.660 is the

00:16:27.340 right's

00:16:27.820 Trump.

00:16:29.180 The left

00:16:30.700 are like,

00:16:31.080 oh, we

00:16:31.500 got Trump

00:16:31.960 now, we

00:16:32.520 got his

00:16:32.800 taxes.

00:16:34.060 What?

00:16:34.740 There's

00:16:35.080 nothing in

00:16:35.600 the taxes?

00:16:36.800 All right,

00:16:37.240 well, I'm

00:16:37.920 sure we

00:16:38.300 have him

00:16:38.620 with Stormy

00:16:39.260 Daniels.

00:16:40.280 What?

00:16:40.820 It's such a

00:16:41.420 small crime

00:16:42.080 that nobody

00:16:43.240 even cares?

00:16:44.400 What?

00:16:44.860 Let's try

00:16:45.320 something else.

00:16:46.720 And they're

00:16:48.280 just waiting

00:16:48.880 for Trump

00:16:49.380 to go down.

00:16:50.220 The walls

00:16:50.620 are closing

00:16:51.060 in.

00:16:51.740 But I feel

00:16:52.220 like that's

00:16:52.640 exactly what

00:16:53.740 the right is

00:16:55.060 feeling about

00:16:55.740 Hunter.

00:16:56.680 Oh, we

00:16:57.380 got his

00:16:57.720 laptop.

00:16:58.040 He's

00:16:59.080 going down

00:16:59.620 now.

00:17:00.840 Okay, he

00:17:01.280 didn't go

00:17:01.580 down because

00:17:02.020 of the

00:17:02.200 laptop.

00:17:02.860 But once

00:17:03.540 we get

00:17:03.980 these financial

00:17:04.780 records,

00:17:06.020 once we

00:17:07.580 get these,

00:17:08.400 the walls

00:17:08.940 are closing

00:17:09.400 in.

00:17:10.480 I feel

00:17:11.260 like I

00:17:11.620 would bet

00:17:11.940 against it.

00:17:13.520 Wouldn't

00:17:14.040 you?

00:17:15.020 Now, I'm

00:17:15.360 not saying

00:17:15.780 that Hunter

00:17:16.440 did nothing

00:17:17.140 sketchy.

00:17:18.240 I'm saying

00:17:18.680 that whether

00:17:19.100 he did

00:17:19.500 something

00:17:19.840 completely

00:17:20.460 illegally

00:17:21.040 or not,

00:17:22.520 or anything

00:17:23.060 in the gray

00:17:23.520 area, that

00:17:24.460 nothing's going

00:17:25.100 to change.

00:17:25.600 I don't

00:17:26.920 know why,

00:17:27.640 I mean, other

00:17:28.060 than political

00:17:29.520 connections, but

00:17:31.000 there'll be some

00:17:31.680 reason why it

00:17:32.400 doesn't matter.

00:17:34.160 Am I

00:17:34.460 wrong?

00:17:35.220 You can

00:17:35.640 predict it so

00:17:36.380 easily.

00:17:37.040 That's why that

00:17:37.560 comment, the

00:17:38.120 walls are closing

00:17:38.780 in, I just

00:17:39.300 thought that was

00:17:39.700 hilarious.

00:17:40.760 So kudos to

00:17:42.880 whoever is the

00:17:44.180 editor who put

00:17:44.920 that on that

00:17:45.440 page.

00:17:45.860 That was

00:17:46.160 funny.

00:17:48.800 All right.

00:17:50.240 As I saw in

00:17:51.120 the comments,

00:17:51.620 we're talking

00:17:52.340 about a mass

00:17:53.480 awakening.

00:17:55.600 people becoming

00:17:57.240 more aware of

00:17:58.100 the actual

00:17:58.640 world they

00:17:59.160 live in, in

00:17:59.840 a way that

00:18:00.260 we've never

00:18:00.720 experienced

00:18:01.280 before.

00:18:02.560 And boy, is

00:18:03.660 that going to

00:18:04.080 accelerate.

00:18:05.460 You think

00:18:05.980 you've seen

00:18:06.460 some stuff

00:18:07.000 now?

00:18:08.320 The stuff

00:18:08.800 that's right

00:18:09.600 ahead of us

00:18:10.300 is going to

00:18:11.460 really be

00:18:11.940 disturbing.

00:18:12.920 Maybe in a

00:18:13.640 good way.

00:18:14.200 I don't know.

00:18:14.940 We're going to

00:18:15.320 wake up to

00:18:15.760 the reality.

00:18:16.520 But just

00:18:16.820 take a

00:18:18.540 stroll through

00:18:20.280 some of the

00:18:20.980 things that

00:18:21.340 have changed

00:18:21.760 lately.

00:18:22.060 In my

00:18:24.660 opinion, the

00:18:25.620 introduction of

00:18:26.360 simulation theory,

00:18:27.700 the idea that

00:18:28.220 we're a

00:18:28.480 simulation, and

00:18:29.740 even having

00:18:30.180 somebody like

00:18:30.680 Elon Musk

00:18:31.340 endorse it as

00:18:32.600 a legitimate

00:18:33.240 view, and I

00:18:34.680 certainly do.

00:18:35.220 It's my

00:18:35.600 preferred view

00:18:36.700 of reality.

00:18:38.340 That's sort of

00:18:39.060 a big mind

00:18:40.340 effort, isn't

00:18:41.080 it?

00:18:42.100 But that's just

00:18:42.960 one thing.

00:18:43.700 There's a bunch

00:18:44.440 of things

00:18:44.760 happening.

00:18:45.180 Let me take

00:18:45.700 you a little

00:18:46.040 tour through

00:18:47.340 them.

00:18:47.540 I think

00:18:49.360 that we're

00:18:49.920 more aware

00:18:50.580 than we

00:18:50.960 ever have

00:18:51.360 been that

00:18:52.620 reality is a

00:18:53.560 subjective

00:18:54.000 experience.

00:18:55.480 Would you

00:18:55.880 agree?

00:18:57.000 It's never

00:18:57.660 been more

00:18:58.140 obvious, and

00:18:58.700 I think the

00:18:59.200 bubbles and

00:19:00.940 the news

00:19:01.600 that's different

00:19:02.080 on the left

00:19:02.580 and the right

00:19:03.020 just make

00:19:03.760 that so

00:19:04.400 clear in a

00:19:05.440 way that

00:19:05.880 maybe 20

00:19:06.800 years ago

00:19:07.260 was less

00:19:07.760 clear.

00:19:08.740 20 years

00:19:09.320 ago, if

00:19:09.640 somebody said

00:19:10.080 reality was

00:19:10.780 subjective,

00:19:11.420 you'd laugh

00:19:11.880 at them.

00:19:13.660 You would.

00:19:14.260 You'd say,

00:19:14.740 well, come

00:19:15.240 on.

00:19:16.080 Reality is

00:19:16.700 reality.

00:19:17.540 Let me

00:19:26.440 turn off

00:19:26.800 my phone.

00:19:29.100 So I

00:19:30.520 think in

00:19:31.000 today's

00:19:31.780 world, people

00:19:32.400 see that the

00:19:33.100 news is

00:19:33.780 creating our

00:19:36.180 realities.

00:19:36.800 Wouldn't you

00:19:37.120 say that

00:19:37.460 that's obvious

00:19:38.520 and true

00:19:39.140 now in a

00:19:40.280 way that 20

00:19:40.840 years ago

00:19:41.260 it was not?

00:19:42.600 Because if

00:19:43.000 20 years ago

00:19:43.660 the news was

00:19:44.400 all sort of

00:19:45.120 the same

00:19:45.660 generic news,

00:19:47.020 news, I

00:19:47.620 think people

00:19:48.060 thought it

00:19:48.420 was generally

00:19:48.900 just true

00:19:49.440 news.

00:19:50.440 But now

00:19:50.780 that you

00:19:51.040 see our

00:19:51.380 opinions are

00:19:51.980 entirely

00:19:52.580 assigned to

00:19:53.380 us by the

00:19:53.900 news, it's

00:19:54.780 hard to

00:19:55.140 miss.

00:19:55.920 So not

00:19:56.760 everybody sees

00:19:57.400 it yet, but

00:19:57.940 you can see

00:19:58.240 people waking

00:19:58.780 up to it.

00:19:59.880 Then we've

00:20:00.360 got AI.

00:20:01.640 GPT-4 will

00:20:02.680 be coming

00:20:03.080 online.

00:20:03.800 And GPT-4,

00:20:05.720 I don't want

00:20:06.880 to say it's

00:20:07.280 going to change

00:20:07.780 everything, but

00:20:09.400 it sure

00:20:09.680 looks like

00:20:10.180 it.

00:20:11.620 Whatever you

00:20:12.920 think GPT-3

00:20:14.060 was, forget

00:20:15.960 it.

00:20:17.340 I'm pretty

00:20:18.000 sure that

00:20:18.360 GPT-4 is

00:20:20.100 not going to

00:20:20.620 look like

00:20:21.080 GPT-3.

00:20:22.320 It's going

00:20:22.840 to be just

00:20:23.860 a leap, I

00:20:25.180 think, based

00:20:25.960 on early

00:20:26.420 descriptions.

00:20:28.000 So that's

00:20:28.560 going to make

00:20:28.900 you even

00:20:29.380 question the

00:20:30.280 specialness of

00:20:31.340 consciousness.

00:20:34.000 Consciousness

00:20:34.560 and the

00:20:35.740 special human

00:20:37.660 identity, it's

00:20:39.700 all in play

00:20:40.220 now.

00:20:41.320 The whole

00:20:41.880 idea that we

00:20:42.440 have this

00:20:42.760 special thing

00:20:43.500 called

00:20:43.760 consciousness is

00:20:44.960 going to go

00:20:45.300 right out the

00:20:45.860 window as soon

00:20:46.460 as the machine

00:20:46.920 has one.

00:20:48.000 I would argue

00:20:48.580 that it has a

00:20:49.200 proto-consciousness,

00:20:50.940 so it's not

00:20:51.420 there yet, but

00:20:52.840 maybe GPT-4, and

00:20:55.420 if it's not

00:20:55.820 four, maybe

00:20:56.780 five, but

00:20:58.380 we're going to

00:20:58.880 see it.

00:20:59.360 It's going to

00:20:59.720 be in your

00:21:00.060 lifetime for

00:21:00.700 sure.

00:21:01.800 So what

00:21:02.080 happens when

00:21:02.580 machines do

00:21:03.200 have something

00:21:03.780 that the

00:21:04.300 experts say

00:21:04.920 is consciousness.

00:21:06.780 It's going to

00:21:07.440 change your

00:21:07.820 whole belief

00:21:09.080 about reality,

00:21:10.220 or it could

00:21:10.780 for some

00:21:11.200 people.

00:21:12.160 How about

00:21:12.540 the fact that

00:21:13.180 we as a

00:21:14.640 society have

00:21:15.580 learned that

00:21:16.500 all of our

00:21:17.180 experts are

00:21:17.780 empty, that

00:21:19.780 all of our

00:21:20.360 data is

00:21:21.540 manipulated, that

00:21:23.360 all of our

00:21:24.020 news is

00:21:24.520 narrative, that

00:21:26.480 our polls can

00:21:28.020 be dependent

00:21:28.760 on sometimes,

00:21:30.360 but we don't

00:21:30.940 know when.

00:21:31.400 sometimes they're

00:21:34.360 right on, but

00:21:35.400 we don't know

00:21:35.900 when, and

00:21:36.860 if they

00:21:37.120 disagree, we

00:21:37.840 don't know

00:21:38.120 which ones

00:21:38.480 are the

00:21:38.660 good ones.

00:21:39.920 So our

00:21:40.620 whole sense

00:21:41.200 of what you

00:21:41.780 could know

00:21:42.420 and be

00:21:43.740 confident about

00:21:44.520 is completely

00:21:45.360 in play right

00:21:46.520 now.

00:21:47.320 It looks like

00:21:47.960 nothing is

00:21:48.680 believable.

00:21:49.820 We don't

00:21:50.380 believe experts,

00:21:51.320 data, anything,

00:21:53.580 and maybe that's

00:21:54.540 more accurate.

00:21:56.360 Remember, it

00:21:57.100 was not

00:21:58.520 too long

00:21:59.060 ago when

00:21:59.900 you would

00:22:01.600 quote Ben

00:22:02.300 Shapiro saying

00:22:03.140 that facts

00:22:03.620 don't care

00:22:04.100 about your

00:22:04.460 feelings?

00:22:05.900 How does

00:22:06.160 that sit

00:22:07.460 with you

00:22:07.780 today?

00:22:08.720 The facts

00:22:09.180 don't care

00:22:09.680 about your

00:22:10.060 feelings?

00:22:11.440 Sorry, it's

00:22:13.000 your feelings

00:22:13.480 don't care

00:22:13.940 about your

00:22:14.360 facts.

00:22:15.380 There's

00:22:15.880 nothing in

00:22:16.380 the news

00:22:16.840 or even

00:22:17.320 science at

00:22:18.080 the moment

00:22:18.520 that would

00:22:19.220 suggest that

00:22:19.840 facts even

00:22:20.400 matter.

00:22:21.900 It's like

00:22:22.400 facts don't

00:22:23.080 even matter.

00:22:24.300 The feelings

00:22:24.820 are the only

00:22:25.240 thing that

00:22:25.560 matters, and

00:22:26.040 it's not the

00:22:26.560 other side.

00:22:28.100 The moment

00:22:28.700 you think,

00:22:29.200 oh, the

00:22:29.460 other side

00:22:30.100 is using

00:22:30.560 feelings, but

00:22:31.960 we're using

00:22:32.540 our facts.

00:22:34.340 Yeah, we're

00:22:34.820 using facts, but

00:22:35.720 they're using

00:22:36.200 their feelings.

00:22:37.240 Do you know

00:22:37.520 what the

00:22:37.740 other side

00:22:38.220 says about

00:22:38.720 you?

00:22:40.120 Exactly the

00:22:40.880 same thing.

00:22:42.180 Oh, we're

00:22:42.760 using our

00:22:43.300 facts, but

00:22:43.860 they're using

00:22:44.560 their feelings

00:22:45.280 and their

00:22:45.680 racism or

00:22:46.400 whatever they're

00:22:46.840 using.

00:22:47.740 Once you

00:22:48.420 realize it's

00:22:48.960 both, it's

00:22:50.220 both sides,

00:22:51.540 you're a

00:22:52.840 little bit

00:22:53.180 closer to

00:22:53.660 the truth.

00:22:54.700 There's not

00:22:55.140 one side has

00:22:55.900 the facts and

00:22:56.460 one side has

00:22:57.060 feelings.

00:22:57.960 Nothing like

00:22:58.640 that has

00:22:59.000 ever existed.

00:23:00.320 It's all

00:23:00.900 feelings all

00:23:01.940 the way down

00:23:02.580 and always

00:23:03.120 has been.

00:23:04.480 But more

00:23:05.220 people are

00:23:05.580 realizing that.

00:23:06.840 How about,

00:23:08.200 do you remember

00:23:08.680 when we

00:23:09.100 thought we

00:23:09.460 could predict

00:23:09.940 the future?

00:23:10.480 future, with

00:23:12.420 our climate

00:23:13.600 models and

00:23:14.660 our economic

00:23:16.160 models, we

00:23:18.040 can't predict

00:23:18.700 the future.

00:23:20.120 We can't

00:23:20.820 predict tomorrow.

00:23:22.180 We can

00:23:22.500 basically predict

00:23:23.300 nothing.

00:23:24.380 We're very,

00:23:25.300 very bad at

00:23:26.080 predicting.

00:23:27.180 And we're

00:23:28.240 coming to that

00:23:28.960 realization that

00:23:30.480 your financial

00:23:31.280 expert doesn't

00:23:32.220 know where the

00:23:32.640 market is going,

00:23:33.920 your pandemic

00:23:35.400 experts don't know

00:23:36.440 what the hell is

00:23:36.800 going to happen

00:23:37.260 with the pandemic,

00:23:37.920 or at least

00:23:38.520 you can't

00:23:38.940 tell which

00:23:39.260 ones do and

00:23:39.880 which ones

00:23:40.280 don't.

00:23:42.340 And climate

00:23:43.040 models are

00:23:43.580 probably ridiculous.

00:23:45.000 They're useful.

00:23:46.780 Models can be

00:23:47.560 useful even when

00:23:48.320 they're ridiculous.

00:23:49.360 So they're not

00:23:50.000 empty of

00:23:51.740 utility, they're

00:23:53.560 just not really

00:23:54.320 predicting the

00:23:54.880 future.

00:23:56.940 All right.

00:23:57.200 So in that

00:23:59.120 vein, do you

00:24:03.260 think the truth

00:24:03.860 is even good

00:24:04.500 for us?

00:24:05.840 Do you think

00:24:06.420 if humans could

00:24:07.200 just see the

00:24:07.900 truth, here's

00:24:10.100 all the truth?

00:24:12.320 No.

00:24:13.300 We would be

00:24:14.140 totally effed if

00:24:16.100 we saw the

00:24:16.880 truth all the

00:24:17.420 time.

00:24:19.580 Imagination and

00:24:20.680 optimism and

00:24:22.080 hallucinations are

00:24:23.620 what hold us

00:24:24.440 together.

00:24:24.840 If it were not

00:24:26.300 for the shared

00:24:27.240 hallucinations and

00:24:29.160 feelings that hold

00:24:30.460 us together,

00:24:31.200 everything would

00:24:31.800 fall apart.

00:24:33.060 Now some of

00:24:33.520 that shared

00:24:34.020 hallucination is

00:24:34.860 under attack because

00:24:36.600 we're having our

00:24:37.460 ideas of what was

00:24:38.820 real and what

00:24:39.400 wasn't being

00:24:41.100 challenged, which

00:24:42.420 makes people

00:24:42.920 retreat to maybe

00:24:44.060 a different set of

00:24:44.860 hallucinations, not

00:24:46.000 to the truth.

00:24:47.720 We don't retreat to

00:24:48.900 the truth.

00:24:49.480 We're not that kind

00:24:50.120 of creature.

00:24:50.900 We retreat to a

00:24:51.720 different hallucination.

00:24:53.280 Well, the different

00:24:53.900 hallucinations keep

00:24:54.960 society together.

00:24:56.700 Because the feelings

00:24:59.220 that we've had about,

00:25:00.260 let's say, being an

00:25:01.480 American for decades

00:25:04.520 and decades, the

00:25:05.920 feeling that you got

00:25:06.940 about being American

00:25:07.820 was not reality.

00:25:10.620 It was a feeling.

00:25:12.020 And we had been

00:25:12.840 brainwashed in a good

00:25:14.120 way to have positive

00:25:15.820 feelings.

00:25:16.400 But now we're being

00:25:17.420 sort of accidentally

00:25:18.820 brainwashed or not to

00:25:21.140 have less good feelings

00:25:22.880 about the country.

00:25:24.740 Will that cause the

00:25:25.620 country to disintegrate?

00:25:27.020 It could.

00:25:28.240 But keep in mind, the

00:25:29.260 facts will always be a

00:25:31.340 secondary consideration

00:25:32.680 to how we feel about

00:25:33.940 stuff.

00:25:34.740 The economy is entirely

00:25:35.920 about how you feel.

00:25:37.340 A bank run, whether it

00:25:38.980 happens or doesn't

00:25:39.740 happen, is about how

00:25:41.040 you feel.

00:25:42.160 It's not about the

00:25:42.920 facts.

00:25:44.000 So we're kind of slowly

00:25:45.880 getting to the point

00:25:46.600 where the only thing

00:25:47.660 that matters is your

00:25:48.720 subjective opinion,

00:25:50.060 even though there is

00:25:51.760 a base of something

00:25:52.960 like fact that science

00:25:54.700 and finance can find

00:25:55.860 if it looks hard

00:25:56.480 enough.

00:25:57.460 But I think we're

00:25:58.060 being a little more,

00:25:59.080 let's say, aware of

00:26:00.540 our irrational nature

00:26:01.800 that doesn't change.

00:26:06.220 Here's an example.

00:26:07.640 Rasmussen had his poll

00:26:08.600 and asked, I guess,

00:26:10.400 Vivek Ramaswamy has

00:26:11.600 been speaking of climate

00:26:13.360 change as a religion.

00:26:15.380 Sort of a narrative

00:26:16.600 point he's making.

00:26:17.560 But I was surprised

00:26:19.140 how many people

00:26:19.720 agreed with that.

00:26:20.960 So according to

00:26:21.480 Rasmussen, 60% of

00:26:22.880 likely U.S. voters,

00:26:24.220 so that would include

00:26:25.040 all the parties,

00:26:27.580 including 47% who

00:26:29.500 strongly agree with

00:26:30.980 Vivek Ramaswamy's

00:26:32.400 recent statement that

00:26:33.740 climate change has

00:26:34.600 become a religion.

00:26:35.800 Now, no surprise,

00:26:36.880 it's 79% of

00:26:37.900 Republicans and 45%

00:26:40.600 of Democrats.

00:26:41.880 What?

00:26:43.220 What?

00:26:45.160 45% of Democrats?

00:26:47.560 Democrats agree with 0.66

00:26:49.020 a Republican who says

00:26:50.340 that climate change

00:26:51.340 is a religion?

00:26:54.140 45%?

00:26:56.460 Well, then I guess

00:26:57.620 the tiebreaker would

00:26:58.500 be the independents,

00:26:59.500 right?

00:27:01.180 So what do the

00:27:02.120 independents say?

00:27:04.460 60% of unaffiliated

00:27:06.940 voters agree with it.

00:27:09.840 60%.

00:27:10.440 You've got a solid

00:27:12.880 American majority

00:27:13.980 who thinks that

00:27:14.920 climate change

00:27:15.780 is bullshit.

00:27:18.680 I didn't know it

00:27:19.560 was that strong.

00:27:20.620 I thought it was

00:27:21.280 going to line up a

00:27:21.980 little bit more

00:27:22.480 directly by party.

00:27:23.880 I had no idea that

00:27:24.940 Democrats were on

00:27:25.680 board.

00:27:26.480 And I think,

00:27:27.380 here's my guess,

00:27:29.300 I think the way the

00:27:30.240 green people treated

00:27:31.240 nuclear power was

00:27:33.780 the tell that it

00:27:35.460 wasn't real.

00:27:37.640 And I think that

00:27:38.700 45% of Democrats

00:27:40.160 are the smart ones,

00:27:41.720 if I may say.

00:27:43.040 The smart ones

00:27:44.360 always knew that

00:27:45.260 there was something

00:27:46.540 wrong with the

00:27:47.760 discussion of

00:27:48.520 nuclear power.

00:27:49.620 Because they knew

00:27:50.420 that France had

00:27:51.360 nuclear energy and

00:27:52.460 it was working fine.

00:27:54.540 45% of Democrats

00:27:56.240 were smart enough

00:27:57.140 to know that

00:27:58.340 nuclear energy was

00:27:59.460 solving the problem

00:28:00.680 in other countries.

00:28:02.600 And that we just

00:28:03.580 weren't doing it for

00:28:04.500 political reasons,

00:28:05.560 mostly.

00:28:06.360 That's pretty good.

00:28:08.300 Actually, I find that

00:28:09.620 encouraging.

00:28:10.140 because we're not

00:28:12.900 actually that far

00:28:13.820 apart on a question

00:28:15.400 of major importance.

00:28:17.120 So you could argue,

00:28:18.460 well, that's why we

00:28:19.180 have a republic.

00:28:20.780 It's a good thing we

00:28:21.760 have a republic so

00:28:23.060 that these smart

00:28:23.900 politicians we elect

00:28:25.080 can do things that

00:28:26.480 maybe the public

00:28:27.280 would not have known

00:28:28.540 to do.

00:28:29.540 Maybe the public is

00:28:30.500 too backwards to do

00:28:32.340 the things it needs

00:28:33.100 to do.

00:28:33.900 That's why you have

00:28:34.500 a republic.

00:28:35.720 Except we no longer

00:28:37.340 believe that we live

00:28:38.120 in that world where

00:28:38.900 well-meaning people

00:28:39.880 do things just for us.

00:28:42.640 Wow, it's a good thing

00:28:43.720 we elected those

00:28:44.520 well-meaning politicians

00:28:46.100 to act on our behalf.

00:28:48.180 Nobody thinks that.

00:28:49.640 That's like an old

00:28:50.660 illusion.

00:28:51.320 Everybody thinks

00:28:51.880 the politicians are

00:28:53.140 serving their party,

00:28:56.000 serving re-election,

00:28:57.700 getting money.

00:28:59.040 It's all those things.

00:29:01.000 So,

00:29:02.040 I have to compliment

00:29:04.820 the Democrats.

00:29:06.640 45% of them

00:29:08.060 saw through

00:29:08.680 the propaganda.

00:29:10.360 That's pretty good.

00:29:11.840 If you could give

00:29:12.500 45% of any population

00:29:14.460 to see through

00:29:15.900 intense,

00:29:17.020 non-stop propaganda,

00:29:18.540 that's pretty good

00:29:19.960 on your part.

00:29:20.820 I'm going to say

00:29:21.220 that's a compliment

00:29:21.900 to the Democrats.

00:29:24.680 Somebody says,

00:29:25.740 I'm wrong.

00:29:27.520 What is it for the...

00:29:28.840 Oh,

00:29:29.160 I'm not saying that...

00:29:30.520 I'm saying that

00:29:31.740 the Rastafism Poll

00:29:32.540 says 45%

00:29:33.600 of Democrats agree

00:29:34.540 that climate

00:29:36.500 changes a religion,

00:29:38.320 meaning that

00:29:38.880 there's some

00:29:39.500 irrational components

00:29:40.700 driving it.

00:29:43.460 All right.

00:29:45.640 More to that point,

00:29:46.980 there's an article

00:29:47.540 in The Atlantic

00:29:48.520 by Shadi Hamid

00:29:49.980 that the truth

00:29:51.300 can make you sick

00:29:52.260 and that,

00:29:54.080 as he says

00:29:55.240 in a tweet,

00:29:55.820 knowledge and information

00:29:56.800 aren't necessarily good.

00:29:58.820 So,

00:29:59.420 if you have

00:30:00.300 more knowledge

00:30:01.060 and more information

00:30:02.080 about reality,

00:30:03.380 it makes you feel bad

00:30:05.120 and can make you

00:30:06.120 depressed and sad

00:30:07.520 and presumably unhealthy

00:30:09.500 because the truth

00:30:12.180 is not good for you.

00:30:15.360 Now,

00:30:15.700 sometimes,

00:30:16.400 it's the only thing

00:30:17.120 that will save your life,

00:30:18.060 right?

00:30:18.520 So,

00:30:19.120 it's not like

00:30:19.660 it's all bad for you.

00:30:21.160 So,

00:30:21.460 of course,

00:30:21.760 you need to know

00:30:22.220 the truth

00:30:22.640 for things that are

00:30:23.360 critical to your life

00:30:24.660 as best you can.

00:30:26.520 But,

00:30:27.000 if you focus

00:30:28.100 on what's true

00:30:29.140 just because it's true,

00:30:31.120 it's bad for your health.

00:30:34.500 Did you know that?

00:30:35.200 Does that surprise you?

00:30:37.400 Does it surprise you

00:30:38.580 that looking at

00:30:39.960 the ugly truth

00:30:41.000 is bad for your

00:30:42.540 mental health?

00:30:43.760 That's pretty

00:30:44.500 straightforward,

00:30:45.400 isn't it?

00:30:45.880 Kind of obvious.

00:30:47.000 Now,

00:30:47.400 would you extend that

00:30:48.320 to say

00:30:48.740 that anybody

00:30:49.760 who's looking at

00:30:50.660 slavery in the past

00:30:52.080 and the legacy

00:30:52.880 of discrimination,

00:30:54.400 if that's where

00:30:55.060 they're focusing,

00:30:56.820 that that would make

00:30:57.540 them unhealthy

00:30:58.220 and unsuccessful

00:30:59.120 and unproductive?

00:31:01.120 Obviously.

00:31:03.280 Obviously.

00:31:04.500 A hundred percent

00:31:05.400 of people

00:31:06.220 who understand

00:31:07.180 the tools

00:31:08.440 of success

00:31:09.200 will tell you

00:31:10.440 that you should

00:31:10.900 be focusing

00:31:11.520 on the truth.

00:31:14.320 The truth?

00:31:16.000 Will people

00:31:16.780 who are,

00:31:18.620 let's say,

00:31:19.180 experts at the

00:31:20.000 tools of success,

00:31:21.100 what you should do

00:31:21.640 to be successful?

00:31:22.640 Would they tell you

00:31:23.360 to focus on the truth?

00:31:25.240 No.

00:31:26.760 No,

00:31:27.240 they wouldn't.

00:31:28.720 Absolutely not.

00:31:29.560 You know what

00:31:30.500 they would tell you

00:31:31.100 to focus on?

00:31:33.920 Let's say,

00:31:34.760 your optimism

00:31:36.480 for the future.

00:31:38.040 Is that the truth?

00:31:40.040 No,

00:31:40.400 optimism is literally

00:31:41.420 an imagination

00:31:42.400 which you try

00:31:44.160 to make true.

00:31:45.720 If you're trying

00:31:46.600 to be successful,

00:31:47.620 you're not dealing

00:31:48.220 with what's true,

00:31:49.440 you're dealing

00:31:50.160 with what you're

00:31:50.820 going to make true.

00:31:52.680 Big difference.

00:31:54.420 It's not what is true,

00:31:55.800 it's what you

00:31:56.600 personally are

00:31:57.400 going to make true.

00:31:58.420 You're going

00:31:59.340 to make yourself

00:32:00.060 have somebody

00:32:00.500 who has a talent stack,

00:32:01.980 therefore you're

00:32:02.740 more hireable.

00:32:04.120 You're going

00:32:04.400 to make yourself

00:32:05.040 smarter,

00:32:05.580 you're going

00:32:05.720 to make yourself

00:32:06.340 kinder,

00:32:07.400 you're going

00:32:07.600 to make yourself

00:32:08.280 have more gratitude.

00:32:10.080 It's about you

00:32:11.140 making the future,

00:32:12.700 but if you focus

00:32:13.600 on the future

00:32:14.200 that is,

00:32:15.520 or the future

00:32:16.260 that was,

00:32:17.700 I'm sorry,

00:32:18.160 the past that was,

00:32:19.480 and you treat

00:32:20.000 them like facts,

00:32:21.500 you say,

00:32:21.920 oh,

00:32:22.160 let's focus

00:32:23.260 on the real history,

00:32:25.180 the real facts,

00:32:26.160 that's really

00:32:27.800 bad for you.

00:32:29.960 It's necessary,

00:32:31.720 I don't think

00:32:32.840 you should forget

00:32:33.500 any of that stuff,

00:32:34.120 it's part of history,

00:32:35.160 it's necessary,

00:32:36.300 but if that's

00:32:36.840 where you're

00:32:37.140 focused in,

00:32:38.360 good luck,

00:32:39.640 that's a path

00:32:40.620 to failure.

00:32:43.360 So,

00:32:44.020 that's more

00:32:44.500 evidence

00:32:44.980 of that theme.

00:32:47.080 Let's talk about

00:32:47.560 Silicon Valley Bank.

00:32:49.200 You know,

00:32:50.020 in the fog of war,

00:32:51.840 it was kind of

00:32:52.500 confusing,

00:32:53.100 wasn't it?

00:32:53.520 Like,

00:32:53.920 what's happening

00:32:54.440 with Silicon Valley Bank?

00:32:56.020 But finally,

00:32:56.740 we know the truth.

00:32:59.200 I'll tell you the truth,

00:33:00.360 but first,

00:33:00.900 I'd like to give

00:33:01.420 a compliment

00:33:02.080 to Megan Kelly.

00:33:04.360 And this is a compliment

00:33:05.380 for something

00:33:05.960 I am unaware of.

00:33:07.980 In other words,

00:33:08.560 I haven't seen it.

00:33:09.760 But I understand

00:33:10.500 she had a very good

00:33:11.700 debate hosting

00:33:13.620 Vivek Ramaswamy

00:33:14.660 and David Sachs,

00:33:15.800 who had very

00:33:16.760 different opinions

00:33:17.460 about what to do

00:33:18.500 with Silicon Valley Bank.

00:33:20.920 Now,

00:33:21.240 that is

00:33:23.380 what I want

00:33:23.940 to see.

00:33:25.360 Thank you.

00:33:27.000 Thank you.

00:33:28.380 You want

00:33:28.900 somebody like

00:33:29.980 Megan Kelly,

00:33:31.540 like she's 0.64

00:33:31.980 sort of a perfect

00:33:32.720 example,

00:33:33.280 somebody who can

00:33:33.880 moderate,

00:33:35.060 you know,

00:33:35.180 somebody who's

00:33:35.620 a strong host

00:33:36.640 who can really

00:33:37.320 know,

00:33:38.100 you know,

00:33:38.300 you talk,

00:33:38.760 you talk,

00:33:39.380 let's get to this.

00:33:41.040 You want

00:33:41.840 to have enough

00:33:42.700 time,

00:33:43.500 you know,

00:33:43.680 not a two-minute

00:33:44.720 TV hit,

00:33:46.100 you want to have

00:33:46.500 enough time,

00:33:47.240 but more importantly,

00:33:48.600 you want to have

00:33:49.000 the right people.

00:33:49.740 They were exactly

00:33:51.680 the right people

00:33:52.600 for exactly that

00:33:54.400 at exactly that

00:33:55.820 point.

00:33:56.660 That is a service

00:33:58.060 to the country.

00:33:59.880 So,

00:34:00.160 Megyn Kelly's,

00:34:01.100 you know,

00:34:01.660 media that she's

00:34:02.900 doing for,

00:34:03.640 you know,

00:34:03.800 everybody is making

00:34:05.480 money and doing

00:34:06.220 their thing.

00:34:07.120 So,

00:34:07.520 I'm not saying

00:34:07.960 everything's,

00:34:08.560 you know,

00:34:09.680 for the good of

00:34:10.920 humankind.

00:34:11.960 There's always a

00:34:12.580 financial aspect to it

00:34:14.560 and should be.

00:34:15.720 That's,

00:34:16.000 you know,

00:34:16.200 good things should

00:34:16.960 be monetized,

00:34:18.080 but thank you.

00:34:20.380 I haven't even

00:34:21.320 seen it

00:34:21.960 and I love it.

00:34:23.800 Now,

00:34:23.940 how many of you

00:34:24.400 saw it?

00:34:25.160 Did any of you

00:34:25.540 see it?

00:34:27.600 Yeah,

00:34:27.920 I'm seeing good

00:34:29.000 comments,

00:34:29.640 the people who

00:34:30.100 saw it,

00:34:30.580 right?

00:34:31.420 Look,

00:34:31.760 can we have

00:34:32.220 more of that?

00:34:33.700 Like an actual,

00:34:34.880 honest,

00:34:36.460 well-moderated,

00:34:38.340 timely,

00:34:39.540 perfect people?

00:34:41.520 More of that,

00:34:42.460 please.

00:34:43.040 Good job,

00:34:43.860 Megyn Kelly.

00:34:44.380 All right,

00:34:45.700 but let me tell

00:34:46.180 you what we've

00:34:46.660 learned.

00:34:47.540 I've researched it

00:34:48.560 and what I found

00:34:49.200 for sure is that

00:34:51.780 the failure was

00:34:52.580 Trump's fault for

00:34:54.280 weakening the

00:34:55.000 Dodd-Frank laws

00:34:56.020 or it was the

00:34:58.260 Fed's fault for

00:34:58.960 raising interest

00:35:00.080 rates,

00:35:01.020 possibly Biden's

00:35:02.280 fault because of

00:35:02.900 the election,

00:35:04.320 but also bad

00:35:05.460 management's fault

00:35:06.300 and possibly the

00:35:08.780 World Economic

00:35:09.380 Forum for pushing

00:35:10.260 ESG,

00:35:10.860 which would be a

00:35:11.660 distraction and

00:35:12.660 some say may

00:35:13.360 have caused a

00:35:15.600 quality problem

00:35:16.300 in management.

00:35:18.060 So it's either

00:35:19.180 Trump's fault,

00:35:21.180 the Fed's fault,

00:35:22.320 management's fault,

00:35:23.820 Biden's fault,

00:35:25.000 or the World

00:35:25.820 Economic Forum's

00:35:26.880 fault,

00:35:27.200 but at least we've

00:35:27.780 cleared that up.

00:35:28.980 Now,

00:35:29.380 that's not the

00:35:29.860 only question.

00:35:31.240 There was some

00:35:31.980 concern whether

00:35:32.840 it was a bailout

00:35:33.840 or not a bailout,

00:35:35.020 so we finally have

00:35:36.640 clarity on that.

00:35:37.540 So it's totally a

00:35:40.800 bailout except it's

00:35:41.840 not a bailout because

00:35:43.200 the public pays for

00:35:44.840 it, which is a

00:35:45.340 bailout, except not

00:35:46.720 directly because it's

00:35:47.720 really the FDIC

00:35:48.540 insurance that they've

00:35:50.740 been collecting for

00:35:51.400 banks for a long

00:35:52.140 time.

00:35:52.460 So really it's the

00:35:53.360 FDIC and the bank's

00:35:55.260 insurance which is

00:35:56.040 paying, but really

00:35:57.060 that's kind of the

00:35:57.680 public because if we

00:35:58.820 ran out of that and

00:35:59.620 the other banks fail,

00:36:00.840 once that becomes

00:36:01.640 empty, that deposit,

00:36:03.660 that's the public.

00:36:04.200 So really it's a

00:36:06.200 bailout and the

00:36:07.660 public's paying for

00:36:08.380 it except the

00:36:08.840 public's not paying

00:36:09.480 for it.

00:36:09.740 The banks are

00:36:10.180 paying for it except

00:36:10.800 the public really

00:36:12.000 is paying for it.

00:36:13.200 So did that clear it

00:36:14.420 up?

00:36:14.620 I think it did.

00:36:17.620 But then also it's

00:36:18.820 not the banks that

00:36:19.600 would pay for it and

00:36:20.120 it's not the public

00:36:20.780 that would pay for it

00:36:21.520 because when the

00:36:22.520 Silicon Valley Bank

00:36:23.580 assets are sold,

00:36:24.980 the assets will go

00:36:25.900 to reimburse whoever

00:36:26.780 paid for it, which

00:36:27.640 was either the

00:36:28.320 public or the FDIC

00:36:29.420 depending on how

00:36:30.040 you look at it.

00:36:30.820 But really it's the

00:36:31.500 SBC, SFB assets

00:36:33.900 that are paying for

00:36:34.580 it unless there's

00:36:36.280 not enough because

00:36:37.420 if there's not

00:36:37.980 enough assets then

00:36:38.860 really it's the

00:36:39.380 FDIC who is paying

00:36:40.300 for it but that's

00:36:40.980 not really the

00:36:41.540 case because if

00:36:42.400 they run out of

00:36:42.960 money then it's

00:36:43.480 the public that

00:36:44.000 pays for it so

00:36:44.620 it's the public

00:36:45.080 that pays for it

00:36:45.720 not the FDIC except

00:36:47.240 it's really the

00:36:47.900 assets if they're

00:36:48.700 enough.

00:36:50.160 So and also the

00:36:54.620 good news is that

00:36:55.740 by guaranteeing the

00:36:57.460 assets which is

00:36:58.180 what the government

00:36:58.720 did they totally

00:37:00.760 prevented a run on

00:37:01.980 banks except that

00:37:03.880 that's not why

00:37:04.320 they did it.

00:37:04.900 It wasn't to

00:37:05.300 prevent a run on

00:37:06.020 banks and we

00:37:06.560 don't know if the

00:37:07.100 run on banks would

00:37:07.780 have happened anyway

00:37:08.440 and only the weak

00:37:09.180 banks would have

00:37:09.660 had a run on banks

00:37:10.380 and the weak banks

00:37:11.480 probably would have

00:37:12.000 failed anyway no

00:37:12.640 matter what they

00:37:13.100 did but they did

00:37:15.080 it to prevent a

00:37:16.080 run on banks or

00:37:17.640 possibly they did

00:37:18.820 it because it's

00:37:19.380 crony capitalism and

00:37:20.580 the Democrats in

00:37:22.340 Silicon Valley are

00:37:23.380 what CNN calls the

00:37:24.700 ATM for the

00:37:25.520 Democrat Party so

00:37:26.880 really it was just

00:37:27.680 an insider thing with

00:37:28.780 VCs covering their 0.95

00:37:30.660 own backs and their

00:37:31.600 good friends in

00:37:32.380 Silicon Valley had

00:37:33.500 nothing to do with

00:37:34.340 what's good for banks

00:37:35.120 or it stopped the

00:37:36.080 bank run and saved

00:37:36.840 the country but at

00:37:38.540 least we know the

00:37:39.120 answer now and

00:37:42.840 here's the good news

00:37:43.760 that the actions that

00:37:45.160 the government took

00:37:45.960 totally worked totally

00:37:48.320 worked so the bank

00:37:50.040 run is over nothing to

00:37:52.140 worry about or possibly

00:37:53.860 it's the first domino

00:37:54.980 because there are a

00:37:56.040 number of banks have

00:37:57.160 been added to the

00:37:57.740 watch list and the

00:37:58.520 interest rates are still

00:37:59.280 high and many people

00:38:00.100 took the same kind of

00:38:01.500 risk in a different

00:38:02.220 way so really it's

00:38:03.240 just the beginning of

00:38:03.920 the dominoes or it's

00:38:04.840 all over or we're all

00:38:06.900 good so I hope I

00:38:10.840 cleared it up if you've

00:38:11.840 been reading other

00:38:12.880 unclear things it's

00:38:15.840 that's why you come to

00:38:16.740 me well I saw

00:38:19.260 something that

00:38:19.980 impressed me and

00:38:20.760 made me feel good

00:38:21.580 about my country for

00:38:22.720 like a minute and a

00:38:24.100 half and I liked it

00:38:25.340 so representative Jeff

00:38:28.160 Jackson gave a video

00:38:30.220 in which he explained

00:38:31.580 what the government was

00:38:32.740 doing and why and I

00:38:35.740 was impressed as hell

00:38:36.940 here's the most

00:38:38.360 impressive thing about

00:38:39.600 representative Jeff

00:38:41.900 Jackson I listened to

00:38:44.740 his entire video and

00:38:46.680 wow is he good at

00:38:48.480 talking in public so

00:38:50.840 good that I wondered

00:38:51.640 what his background was

00:38:52.640 it almost looked like I

00:38:54.540 don't know I don't

00:38:55.660 even know how you get

00:38:56.380 that good it was just a

00:38:57.780 communication superstar

00:39:00.440 thing was he an actor

00:39:02.920 I mean it looks like he

00:39:04.400 has those skills but it

00:39:05.900 was amazing but here's

00:39:07.420 the part that impressed

00:39:08.200 me most it wasn't

00:39:09.560 amazing because he did a

00:39:10.800 good job communicating

00:39:12.100 when he was done just

00:39:15.580 think about this when he

00:39:17.300 was done I couldn't tell

00:39:19.480 if he was a Democrat or

00:39:21.420 Republican think about

00:39:23.320 that I mean just think

00:39:24.980 about that that's how

00:39:27.000 good he was he was so

00:39:29.280 good I couldn't tell if

00:39:31.800 he was a Democrat or

00:39:32.760 Republican couldn't tell

00:39:36.280 somebody said he's a

00:39:37.360 Democrat I even looked at

00:39:38.580 his profile and he does

00:39:39.660 on his profile he doesn't

00:39:41.960 list his party on his

00:39:44.280 Twitter profile it's not

00:39:46.100 listed yeah and I think he

00:39:48.540 said he's a dad and a

00:39:51.100 military veteran he

00:39:53.240 starts with dad and then

00:39:55.020 he does military veteran

00:39:56.180 is that a Democrat or

00:39:58.140 Republican starts with 0.53

00:40:00.080 dad yeah so I'd keep an

00:40:06.380 eye on that guy I think

00:40:08.080 he's a Democrat but I

00:40:09.120 would keep an eye on him

00:40:10.200 like that's that's some

00:40:12.360 serious skill that guy

00:40:13.420 got

00:40:13.660 and lastly maybe

00:40:18.080 lastly here's a prediction

00:40:20.480 that I made that you all

00:40:22.000 scoffed at maybe not

00:40:24.320 well but you could tell

00:40:25.660 me see if anybody agreed

00:40:27.420 with me when I made this

00:40:28.360 prediction that no matter

00:40:30.060 how the war in Ukraine

00:40:31.080 goes whether Putin wins

00:40:34.560 or Putin is a tie he 0.50

00:40:36.600 negotiates or Putin loses

00:40:38.080 in all situations Putin still

00:40:40.900 has to kill the head of the

00:40:42.060 Wagner group and he has

00:40:44.360 to diminish the Wagner 0.81

00:40:45.320 group's power would you

00:40:47.080 agree how many would

00:40:48.020 agree that no matter how

00:40:49.460 it goes Putin's gonna have

00:40:51.220 to get rid of Purgosian 0.96

00:40:52.740 the head of the Wagner

00:40:53.400 group yeah now that was my

00:40:55.780 prediction and I predicted

00:40:57.520 that you could that it was

00:40:59.020 actually happening that

00:41:00.800 that Russia or Putin was

00:41:04.160 allowing the Wagner group to

00:41:05.500 just waste all their people

00:41:07.040 and resources and sort of

00:41:08.980 losing propositions and

00:41:12.760 that's what the Wagner group

00:41:13.820 is saying now but I want

00:41:15.580 to give you one one quote

00:41:18.720 here I kind of wrapped it

00:41:22.080 up so this is a I think this

00:41:25.320 was in CNN so somebody named

00:41:28.380 Kovalenko I guess that's

00:41:29.700 somebody who knows something

00:41:30.800 about what's going on over

00:41:31.720 there said quote it is

00:41:33.340 difficult to say whether this

00:41:34.840 was a planned destruction of

00:41:36.980 the Wagner PMC but the fact

00:41:39.360 is the Russian military

00:41:40.940 command uses the Wagner

00:41:42.380 rights as living meat it's

00:41:44.920 difficult to say whether

00:41:46.280 this was a planned

00:41:47.460 destruction planned by

00:41:49.720 Putin so now this is an 0.52

00:41:52.140 actual somebody who knows

00:41:53.060 what they're talking about

00:41:54.020 as opposed to me like I

00:41:56.180 don't really know what I'm

00:41:56.860 talking about but it looked

00:41:58.140 like it to me I mean from a

00:41:59.900 distance it looked like oh

00:42:01.160 that Purgosian guy's getting 0.99

00:42:03.260 too much power within Russia

00:42:05.040 he's got to be killed and

00:42:06.900 the best way to do it would

00:42:08.320 be for Putin to just send

00:42:10.180 him and his forces out to

00:42:11.360 get massacred so well then

00:42:13.420 no matter what happens

00:42:14.500 later there are fewer of

00:42:15.720 them they're less powerful

00:42:16.800 so that looks like it looks

00:42:19.000 like other people who know

00:42:20.440 what they're talking about

00:42:21.220 think that's entirely possible

00:42:22.660 and I believe it's what's

00:42:25.080 happening so how many of you

00:42:27.000 would agree with my

00:42:28.000 hypothesis that Russia or

00:42:30.900 Putin wants to degrade the

00:42:33.340 Wagner group whether he wins

00:42:35.180 in Ukraine or not yeah it

00:42:38.800 looks like a lot of people

00:42:39.720 agree so I'm going to count

00:42:41.320 that as one of my best

00:42:42.720 predictions if it comes true

00:42:44.620 I don't know if we'll ever

00:42:45.560 be able to confirm it but I

00:42:47.280 think I'm the first person in

00:42:48.680 the at least in the country

00:42:50.140 who proposed that now I don't

00:42:53.880 know that it's true I'm not

00:42:55.240 claiming it's true right that

00:42:57.220 would be premature I'm saying

00:42:58.960 that people would know what

00:43:00.360 they're talking about which

00:43:01.860 does not include me are

00:43:04.260 saying it's true you saw it

00:43:07.560 on ISW I don't know what

00:43:10.340 that is so has anybody seen

00:43:13.000 that hypothesis in other

00:43:14.360 places yet besides CNN today

00:43:17.920 anybody seen that so somebody

00:43:19.960 says yes yes yes people see

00:43:24.060 that isn't it mind reading it's

00:43:25.820 speculation no it's not mind

00:43:28.540 reading it's it's based on the

00:43:30.460 fact that that's what anybody

00:43:31.700 would do so it doesn't require

00:43:34.220 mind reading it's just how do

00:43:36.340 people act in their best

00:43:37.720 interest yeah now those of you

00:43:40.880 who are saying it's wrong you

00:43:41.800 could be right yeah I wouldn't I

00:43:44.340 wouldn't die on this hill it

00:43:46.600 could be wrong yeah I agree but

00:43:49.720 it has that look now if you think

00:43:52.400 it's wrong is that because you

00:43:54.640 think Putin would feel safe if

00:43:56.540 progression won this war and came

00:43:59.960 home with a huge military that was

00:44:02.320 loyal to him do you think Putin

00:44:04.940 would be okay with that if you think

00:44:07.660 I'm wrong you have to say that Putin

00:44:09.260 would be okay with that now remember

00:44:12.660 I'm a little bit of a student of how

00:44:15.480 dictators stay in in power because I'm

00:44:18.140 always curious it just seems like it'd be

00:44:19.540 impossible and they tend to have this

00:44:21.880 similar kind of approach one part of

00:44:25.620 the dictator approach is a form their

00:44:27.820 own you know private army you know

00:44:30.380 like in Iran the Republican Guard or

00:44:33.320 whatever it is so you need your sort

00:44:34.780 of you know your own private loyal

00:44:36.400 army that's got better weapons than

00:44:38.080 the other army that might try to

00:44:40.040 overthrow you so that's one thing they

00:44:41.980 do but another thing that dictators do 0.92

00:44:44.200 is they kill everybody who's against

00:44:46.060 them right but also everyone who might

00:44:50.740 be against them later if you're a

00:44:53.620 dictator you don't kill only the

00:44:55.720 people who have directly moved against

00:44:57.360 you lately you got to get all the

00:45:00.060 people who might have in any possible

00:45:02.380 in any scenario might have you got to

00:45:06.000 get all the maybes like that that's

00:45:09.080 your basic dictator brutal dictator

00:45:11.120 technique right you got to get all the

00:45:13.180 maybes can't just get the ones who are

00:45:15.600 definitely your enemies and at the very

00:45:18.460 least Purgosian is a maybe enemy you

00:45:23.620 cannot doubt that he's a maybe enemy

00:45:25.700 can you can can anybody here doubt that

00:45:28.440 would anybody doubt that Purgosian is a

00:45:31.280 maybe enemy of Putin no you can't doubt

00:45:34.820 that and there's no dictator like a Putin

00:45:37.320 who is going to let a maybe enemy stay

00:45:39.880 around for long Purgosian's gonna be

00:45:42.600 dead in one year or two there's no way

00:45:45.460 he's gonna survive this unless he leaves

00:45:47.900 the country well even then that poison

00:45:49.640 probably so I don't think Purgosian can

00:45:52.660 survive Putin it would be crazy all right

00:45:57.740 and that ladies and gentlemen is the

00:46:03.700 conclusion of the best live stream you're

00:46:06.220 likely to see today and I remind you

00:46:09.580 again if you haven't if you've been

00:46:11.000 I'm looking for a Dilbert Dilbert is

00:46:12.640 cancelled worldwide but continues daily

00:46:15.560 in the scottadams.locals.com

00:46:19.340 subscription site those who have asked

00:46:23.220 please can we have the free version the

00:46:26.760 free version means I don't get to do

00:46:29.880 this anymore right so everybody needs to

00:46:34.040 pay the bills so part of how I'm gonna

00:46:38.100 pay the bills is Dilbert will be the

00:46:40.620 subscription site but what I give you in

00:46:42.900 return is way more than Dilbert and you

00:46:45.860 if you're a member of locals you can use

00:46:47.860 Dilbert for your own presentations share

00:46:51.140 them with friends just don't do it every

00:46:53.100 day don't don't go nuts with it we have

00:46:56.000 extra rights you get to see robots

00:46:57.840 renews my other comic as well as let's

00:47:00.580 the best memes you've ever seen from the

00:47:02.880 members themselves yeah I do have enough

00:47:07.480 to pay the bills you write but I can do

00:47:11.200 more and better things for the world if

00:47:14.100 I'm protected so let me check in with

00:47:20.860 you has anybody seen my reframe of race

00:47:24.260 where the alternative way to look at it

00:47:28.120 is through the personal success frame has

00:47:32.620 anybody seen that get boosted online or

00:47:35.140 anywhere else yet because that's the test

00:47:37.660 okay I'm seeing seeing a number of yeses

00:47:40.480 the test is whether it it starts to take

00:47:45.460 on a life of its own and I think that

00:47:48.200 because it's a high ground reframe meaning

00:47:51.700 that nobody can disagree with it it's

00:47:53.320 actually impossible to disagree with and

00:47:55.480 once you've seen it you can't get it out of

00:47:56.920 your head right so that that's that's what a

00:48:00.760 good antiviral looks like now I call it an

00:48:05.140 antiviral because there's a mind virus

00:48:09.580 that the best way to deal with the current

00:48:13.540 world is to look backwards at all the

00:48:16.080 the badness that happened and assign blame

00:48:18.760 and then you know get restitution for it

00:48:22.240 that that model of the world is just

00:48:25.340 inferior to a forward-looking model no

00:48:28.920 matter who you are it doesn't matter who

00:48:30.980 you are right looking forward works

00:48:33.960 looking backwards doesn't work and

00:48:36.600 there's no conversation about that

00:48:38.240 looking backwards can work in the short

00:48:40.700 run but you're always going to come out

00:48:42.660 worse than if you look forward what does

00:48:46.480 Elon Musk say oh that's a joke

00:48:47.880 not a joke all right you screenshot the

00:48:55.960 whiteboard to share okay yeah I saw

00:48:58.800 people so so here's how you know if an

00:49:02.100 idea is going to catch on if people do

00:49:04.940 something with the idea such as turn it

00:49:06.780 into a poster somebody said they

00:49:09.060 screenshot it to send it to somebody

00:49:11.720 those are actions when you see people

00:49:14.180 act on what is a reframe that means the

00:49:17.720 reframe is working so this has all of the

00:49:21.040 tells of something that will just

00:49:23.040 continue expanding it because it's sort

00:49:26.300 of an antivirus to the existing virus

00:49:29.080 yeah so I need an antiviral that's also

00:49:32.380 viral that has to reproduce in order to

00:49:35.420 reduce the effect of the virus all right

00:49:40.460 sell posters no I wouldn't sell them I

00:49:43.660 might make one that's a digital one all

00:49:50.040 right so that ladies and gentlemen

00:49:54.120 brings you to the end of the best

00:49:56.020 live stream ever and I'm going to talk

00:49:59.680 to the locals people privately one of the

00:50:01.880 benefits of membership and I will see you

00:50:04.480 tomorrow

00:50:04.760 you
