Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2052 Scott Adams： Trump Indictment Absurdity, My Second Rant, Fentanyl Strategy

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the finest live stream in the history of live streams.

00:00:09.140 And today, your experience is going to reach levels which, I don't know if you can even

00:00:14.460 handle it.

00:00:15.400 It'll be so awesome.

00:00:17.000 But if you'd like to take your experience up with the rest of us, join us.

00:00:21.940 Join us.

00:00:22.720 Let's take this experience up.

00:00:24.180 Yes, I almost want to make a joke, but don't ruin my flow.

00:00:31.600 Don't ruin my flow.

00:00:33.280 That was a...

00:00:35.040 Just kidding.

00:00:36.440 But anyway, all you need is a cupper in my eye.

00:00:39.020 Do you know that when my flow gets disturbed, it really does have this ripple effect?

00:00:46.500 I'm going to try to regain my...

00:00:48.980 And here's the way I'm going to do it.

00:00:50.360 As I was saying, if you want to bring this experience up a level, somebody mentioned

00:00:57.340 Stormy Daniels in the comments, and it was just too good.

00:01:02.360 Like, okay, no, don't make a joke about bringing your experience up and mention Stormy Daniels.

00:01:09.120 Do not do it.

00:01:10.300 And then I'm trying to think at the same time, and I'm thinking, no, no Stormy Daniels joke.

00:01:14.840 No.

00:01:15.560 And then I lost my place.

00:01:17.740 So I'm going to have to do the Stormy Daniels joke first before I can even do the simultaneous

00:01:24.100 set.

00:01:24.580 It's just now in my head.

00:01:26.160 You did that to me.

00:01:30.300 If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that only Stormy Daniels could provide,

00:01:37.260 all you need is a cupper, a mug, or a glass, a tanker, a chalice, a tine, a gentee, a jug,

00:01:40.960 a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:42.800 See, much better that were.

00:01:43.680 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine here in the day.

00:01:47.740 The thing makes everything better.

00:01:49.240 It's called a simultaneous sip.

00:01:51.400 Now we're back in the flow.

00:01:53.040 All right, it's working now.

00:01:54.540 Go.

00:01:59.000 All right, now we're on track.

00:02:05.040 Right on track.

00:02:05.860 Do you all know that Dilbert, although canceled worldwide, is running on the Locals platform

00:02:15.200 at scottadams.locals.com?

00:02:18.860 And people have asked me, Scott, these are new comics, but where are all the old ones that

00:02:24.060 used to be on the archive on Dilbert.com?

00:02:25.980 I don't have a solution for that, but I probably will.

00:02:31.520 Please understand that when you get canceled worldwide, it creates extra work.

00:02:37.420 So I'm a little bit busy for the next few weeks, but it's all good stuff.

00:02:42.380 Honestly, being canceled is one of the best things that's ever happened to me.

00:02:45.900 I did not plan it that way.

00:02:47.600 I really didn't.

00:02:48.960 But it could not have worked out better.

00:02:52.280 Honestly, it could not have been better.

00:02:53.720 All right, but enough about me.

00:02:57.940 Elon Musk says he's got a new plan for Twitter, the Twitter feed.

00:03:05.360 So you'll see, the first things you'll see is people you follow.

00:03:10.640 Doesn't it seem like that should have been the first thing you saw before?

00:03:16.660 The people I follow were not the first things I was seeing.

00:03:19.760 Like, I was definitely missing people I was following, but I thought, wouldn't it make

00:03:27.540 perfect sense that the people you follow were the first ones you saw?

00:03:31.060 Is that really different?

00:03:33.040 But I guess it will be different.

00:03:35.540 After the people you follow, next would be verified accounts.

00:03:38.540 So people who paid to be verified.

00:03:40.480 And then third would be unverified accounts.

00:03:42.680 So I don't know what percentage of my trolls are unverified accounts, but at least half.

00:03:52.560 So that'd be good.

00:03:53.780 At least half of them are just, you know, bad people doing bad things.

00:03:58.580 So I think, I think, and Musk says that the verified accounts are a thousand times harder

00:04:04.380 to game by bots and troll armies.

00:04:06.420 So we should see, this will happen in the next few weeks, so we should see some kind of big

00:04:12.760 difference in Twitter.

00:04:15.060 But I do, I do want to make sure that I don't miss people who I don't follow.

00:04:21.220 I mean, the people that I don't follow are sometimes the most interesting ones, simply

00:04:25.720 because they disagree with you.

00:04:27.560 So this is a good thing to try.

00:04:30.360 I think, I think it's the right direction, but we'll see how it works out.

00:04:32.720 How many of you saw my rant yesterday?

00:04:40.220 Was it yesterday?

00:04:42.440 Yeah.

00:04:43.840 How many of you think that that rant will go viral?

00:04:47.780 You think it'll go viral?

00:04:50.000 I don't.

00:04:51.840 You know why it won't go viral?

00:04:54.200 Well, it could, you know, it might go a little viral just among, you know, a certain part of

00:04:59.260 the population, but it won't cross over to the rest.

00:05:02.140 Do you know why?

00:05:03.800 It's too dangerous.

00:05:05.420 It's too dangerous.

00:05:06.480 Yeah.

00:05:06.920 Now, if there's something in there they could take out of context, because all of the, you

00:05:12.360 know, everything's political in this environment.

00:05:15.280 If they could find some political way to tank me, they'll do it.

00:05:20.000 But there's no way that they're going to show the whole rant, because it's too honest.

00:05:25.120 It's just too honest.

00:05:26.200 And there is a degree of honesty that the system can't handle, and that was well beyond

00:05:35.660 the limit they can handle.

00:05:36.880 So you're not going to see that.

00:05:38.420 That will never go viral.

00:05:40.340 I promise you.

00:05:41.160 I've seen more people speculating what I speculate, that the reason Kamala Harris acts the way she 1.00

00:05:49.120 does in public is that she's drunk.

00:05:52.060 Now, have I ever been in trouble before for saying somebody seemed drunk in public?

00:05:57.660 Yes, I have.

00:05:58.500 I would say it about Hillary Clinton, but not every time she spoke.

00:06:04.460 I've never said Hillary was drunk every time she spoke, because it didn't look like it. 0.70

00:06:09.940 It was just that sometimes she looked like maybe she had some wine for lunch or something.

00:06:16.020 But Kamala does look drunk pretty much every time she speaks. 0.99

00:06:21.720 Now, I'm not saying she is, because the story would be just as shocking if she were not.

00:06:27.540 Imagine if she acts like that naturally.

00:06:31.860 I mean, literally, that would be scary.

00:06:34.660 I would be a little more comfortable if I found out she had been drinking, because at least you can stop 1.00

00:06:39.780 drinking, you know, for a few minutes.

00:06:43.820 But here's my current speculation, just speculation.

00:06:50.240 So this is based on, you know, living a life and knowing a lot of people and just sort of being in this

00:06:55.820 world, but here's my speculation.

00:06:58.640 I think she's like Raj on, remember the show, The Big Bang Theory?

00:07:06.660 The Big Bang Theory?

00:07:08.220 There was a character, Raj, who couldn't speak to women unless he was drinking alcohol.

00:07:13.900 He literally just couldn't speak.

00:07:15.280 And I feel like Kamala has fear of public speaking, and that when she thinks she's going to speak,

00:07:24.220 I think she has to drink.

00:07:26.020 That's just my speculation.

00:07:28.260 And here's what it's based on.

00:07:29.680 Very scant clues.

00:07:31.940 Very scant.

00:07:32.980 Number one, she acts drunk quite often when she's talking.

00:07:37.320 Number two, the over-cackling seems to be a fear of public speaking.

00:07:43.500 Do you get that?

00:07:46.640 The laughing too hard is sort of like buying her time in a public situation.

00:07:51.540 So it's not just a speech, but also, you know, she's answering questions.

00:07:56.100 I think the cackle is a delaying tactic because she doesn't want to speak.

00:08:00.880 I think that people who are afraid of speaking in public might sometimes say to themselves,

00:08:07.280 well, you know, after a glass of wine, I'm a lot better.

00:08:11.360 Just one glass of wine.

00:08:12.460 But then you have two because, hey, if one is good, two might be great.

00:08:19.000 And that's my theory, is that she drinks because she's not a comfortable public speaker. 1.00

00:08:26.440 Now, I did a little Googling and found out that in two occasions she's helped people who are bad at public speaking.

00:08:34.000 She gave them advice.

00:08:35.060 One was somebody who was breaking down in public, and she helped him out.

00:08:38.780 And now there were some young girls, and she was giving them some advice about how to be comfortable public speaking.

00:08:45.960 How many other national politicians have ever advised somebody on public speaking?

00:08:56.020 I've never heard of it.

00:08:57.080 It seems like that would be maybe something in her mind or something she cared about.

00:09:02.720 So there's a little bit of a tell that she cares about public speaking and being comfortable.

00:09:09.460 It would also explain my biggest mystery about her.

00:09:13.440 In the beginning of the primary, I thought that she would be the strongest candidate.

00:09:18.020 And that was based entirely upon seeing her performance during congressional hearings, where she'd be one of the people interviewing people.

00:09:27.760 And I thought, wow, she looks really put together.

00:09:32.020 And when she's interviewing people and asking tough questions like a prosecutor, she actually seemed on her game.

00:09:39.600 And then I learned that the only thing she does capably is blaming other people of crimes.

00:09:48.580 That's the only thing she can do.

00:09:50.460 So it actually explains why she was a public prosecutor and, you know, attorney general of the state,

00:09:56.720 is that blaming people of stuff, she can do really well.

00:10:01.000 But as soon as she gets out of the mode of blaming stuff, you know, politicians, criminals,

00:10:06.000 as soon as she's not blaming somebody, she doesn't know what to do.

00:10:09.600 So she has one mode that she's good at.

00:10:12.800 Oh, I'm blaming you of a crime.

00:10:15.080 I'm blaming you of some racism.

00:10:16.960 I'm blaming you of being a bad politician.

00:10:19.280 I blame you, I blame you, I blame you.

00:10:21.340 But as soon as she's out of blame mode, it looks like she can't speak.

00:10:26.500 She's got one mode.

00:10:28.560 So that's on me, because I saw her coincidentally in her prosecutor mode 1.00

00:10:33.420 when she was doing these congressional investigations.

00:10:36.420 And I thought, well, there's somebody who knows how to do this investigating stuff.

00:10:41.760 It looks like that would be a skill that you could transfer into the larger leadership realm.

00:10:47.100 But apparently she doesn't have those skills. 0.81

00:10:49.340 She's just good at blaming people for crimes. 0.99

00:10:53.260 A very narrow skill, but got her to vice president. 0.94

00:10:57.360 And so I'm going to start calling her, instead of Kamala Harris,

00:11:02.160 I think I'll call her Druncula.

00:11:04.660 Sort of like Count Druncula.

00:11:07.340 Druncula Harris.

00:11:08.900 And here's my take.

00:11:10.500 If she's not drunk,

00:11:12.400 that's not the good news.

00:11:16.040 Now, the good news is not that,

00:11:17.920 Scott, you're wrong.

00:11:18.760 She doesn't ever do that. 1.00

00:11:21.380 She was completely sober.

00:11:23.100 That's the bad news.

00:11:25.360 I'm being a little bit kind by saying,

00:11:27.580 I hope she's drunk.

00:11:29.020 Because if she acts like this, 1.00

00:11:30.880 literally,

00:11:31.580 and by the way, this is not hyperbole.

00:11:33.860 Doesn't it sound like it?

00:11:35.340 That difference between, you know,

00:11:37.120 a joke and reality,

00:11:38.660 it's now completely merged.

00:11:40.320 I'm not kidding.

00:11:42.080 If this is her real self,

00:11:44.260 I'm way more afraid

00:11:45.400 than if she has some drinks,

00:11:47.720 and maybe sometimes she can make sober decisions

00:11:49.940 when we're not watching.

00:11:51.480 That would be the best-case scenario.

00:11:53.840 Sort of like Winston Churchill.

00:11:56.800 He drank a lot,

00:11:58.620 but seemed to get the job done.

00:12:02.360 So it's not the drinking that would bother me.

00:12:05.240 It would be if she's not drunk. 0.98

00:12:09.660 Putin is now,

00:12:11.080 I guess he's an accused war criminal 0.80

00:12:14.760 because there's some Rome statue.

00:12:16.780 123 nations are obliged to arrest Putin

00:12:21.340 if he shows up in their country.

00:12:23.920 So remember how Putin was always showing up

00:12:27.320 at all these G20s,

00:12:28.940 and he was always visiting other countries,

00:12:31.860 and he had this really high profile,

00:12:33.800 which I think was really good for Russia.

00:12:36.800 Like, it gave you an impression of Russia

00:12:38.400 as, you know, like a number two

00:12:40.260 or number three on the world stage,

00:12:41.980 and, you know, real involved in world affairs,

00:12:45.260 and, you know,

00:12:45.840 one of the people you should take seriously.

00:12:48.960 But now,

00:12:50.320 but now he can't even travel

00:12:53.680 to most countries

00:12:55.200 without being worried about getting arrested.

00:12:58.760 What do you think would happen

00:12:59.980 if Putin got arrested

00:13:01.060 in another country

00:13:03.000 and actually held?

00:13:06.760 Do you think that over in Russia,

00:13:10.060 his cronies would say,

00:13:11.280 oh, we'd better do everything

00:13:13.500 to get him out of there,

00:13:14.720 threaten war, et cetera,

00:13:16.240 or would the people back in Russia say,

00:13:20.240 well, it looks like we all got a promotion?

00:13:24.820 Am I wrong?

00:13:26.220 I think if some other country

00:13:27.700 picked up Putin,

00:13:30.280 there, of course,

00:13:31.080 would be lots of noise.

00:13:32.400 Oh, stop that.

00:13:34.180 We're going to nuke you. 1.00

00:13:35.620 But do you think that

00:13:36.580 they would actually feel bad?

00:13:39.120 Because whoever is number two in line

00:13:41.060 or thinks they might be number two,

00:13:43.060 there might be a number of people

00:13:44.340 who think they have a shot at it,

00:13:46.100 wouldn't they all be happier

00:13:47.720 if Putin were gone?

00:13:49.300 And it's not their fault?

00:13:51.180 Well, it's not our fault.

00:13:52.380 He's just sort of not available,

00:13:54.320 so I guess the rest of us

00:13:56.500 will have to figure out who's in charge.

00:13:58.060 But it wasn't us.

00:13:59.240 It was that other country.

00:14:00.200 So it feels like

00:14:03.600 it would be the best-case scenario

00:14:05.220 for the Russians themselves.

00:14:06.780 Because even the worst,

00:14:08.300 the worst of the leaders

00:14:09.960 who might try to take over

00:14:11.280 and be their own little, you know, despot, 0.51

00:14:14.080 even they would think,

00:14:15.640 well, I just got promoted one level.

00:14:18.680 I'm a little bit closer to the top today.

00:14:22.060 Yeah.

00:14:22.480 No, that's not mind-reading.

00:14:23.580 That's speculation.

00:14:24.940 That's different.

00:14:25.640 So I enjoy it when somebody says,

00:14:29.540 Scott, are you mind-reading?

00:14:31.000 Because that's actually a good question.

00:14:33.820 Speculation is,

00:14:34.880 I don't know what they're thinking,

00:14:36.740 but I'm imagining

00:14:37.580 what ordinary people would do

00:14:39.340 in this situation.

00:14:40.320 That's just speculation.

00:14:42.060 But if I said,

00:14:43.680 those people are thinking X,

00:14:46.540 that's mind-reading.

00:14:47.980 That's mind-reading.

00:14:49.080 And that would be dumb.

00:14:51.860 All right.

00:14:52.260 So Putin can't go too many places.

00:14:55.860 That's kind of a bummer for him.

00:14:57.980 Over at CNN,

00:14:59.100 the cat's on the roof.

00:15:01.580 And by that,

00:15:02.120 I mean CNN's Erin Burnett

00:15:03.740 was talking to some punta expert

00:15:06.240 about the revelations

00:15:08.320 about the payments

00:15:09.280 from Chinese companies

00:15:11.740 and other companies

00:15:13.240 to the Bidens

00:15:15.160 directly and indirectly.

00:15:17.220 And this is what she said.

00:15:19.840 So this is Erin Burnett

00:15:24.580 and CNN.

00:15:25.500 So again,

00:15:26.480 from a layperson,

00:15:28.020 that doesn't look good.

00:15:29.160 That doesn't look good.

00:15:34.480 That doesn't look good.

00:15:37.260 She continued before asking Goodman,

00:15:39.440 who was her guest,

00:15:40.620 if he found the records

00:15:41.680 to be damaging legally.

00:15:43.380 So apparently the experts said

00:15:46.000 there's probably nothing legally

00:15:49.060 that's illegal.

00:15:51.640 And I agree with that.

00:15:53.180 Probably not.

00:15:54.560 There's probably nothing illegal.

00:15:56.540 But even their experts said,

00:15:58.860 but it certainly looks unethical.

00:16:01.680 Now,

00:16:02.100 if you've got CNN's Erin Burnett

00:16:05.020 stirring to hint,

00:16:07.260 just a little bit of a suggestion

00:16:08.720 of a hint

00:16:09.360 that the Biden crime family

00:16:11.560 is exactly what it looks like,

00:16:13.160 exactly what it looks like.

00:16:15.880 It might not be illegal.

00:16:18.140 It might not be.

00:16:19.120 I don't know.

00:16:20.220 But

00:16:20.740 you don't want it.

00:16:22.740 It's definitely something

00:16:23.780 you don't want.

00:16:25.160 Now,

00:16:25.420 my understanding is

00:16:26.280 there's

00:16:26.520 some

00:16:27.680 Marco Polo document

00:16:30.040 that documents,

00:16:31.580 you know,

00:16:31.960 hundreds of crimes

00:16:33.220 that Hunter Biden did.

00:16:34.860 And that might be true, too.

00:16:36.700 But it also might be

00:16:38.040 hundreds of crimes

00:16:39.400 that are sort of

00:16:40.160 theoretical,

00:16:41.340 like whatever,

00:16:42.960 whatever the hell

00:16:43.800 Trump is being accused of now.

00:16:45.960 Stuff that you wouldn't

00:16:47.060 normally pursue

00:16:48.500 for anybody.

00:16:50.640 But

00:16:51.160 I'm open to the possibility

00:16:53.420 that there are

00:16:54.480 genuine crimes.

00:16:56.140 I mean,

00:16:56.380 certainly with his gun

00:16:57.740 gun situation,

00:16:59.140 there was something

00:16:59.880 that looked like a crime.

00:17:01.860 Well,

00:17:02.180 you know,

00:17:02.900 if you're paying for access,

00:17:05.300 is that a crime?

00:17:11.080 Can you not charge

00:17:12.360 for an introduction?

00:17:14.520 I've never heard of that

00:17:15.600 being a crime.

00:17:17.840 You can?

00:17:18.480 Well,

00:17:18.880 that's if you didn't

00:17:19.760 register as a foreign

00:17:21.860 whatever,

00:17:26.060 lobbyist or something.

00:17:27.680 But even that doesn't get,

00:17:29.340 even that typically

00:17:30.560 doesn't get prosecuted,

00:17:32.220 right?

00:17:32.380 There are lots of people

00:17:34.980 who have done

00:17:35.300 the same thing,

00:17:36.340 but they're

00:17:36.840 sort of,

00:17:38.620 you know,

00:17:39.640 as long as they

00:17:40.640 admit it after the fact,

00:17:42.260 it's not the biggest

00:17:43.060 deal in the world.

00:17:45.420 Yeah.

00:17:46.060 Well,

00:17:46.500 I guess that's

00:17:47.020 selective prosecution,

00:17:48.160 too.

00:17:48.320 Depends how much

00:17:48.900 you like the person.

00:17:50.280 If you like them,

00:17:51.440 it's no big deal.

00:17:52.860 If you don't like them,

00:17:54.860 arrest them.

00:17:56.360 Well,

00:17:56.800 here's what they're

00:17:57.360 not saying on CNN.

00:17:59.280 At least I haven't

00:17:59.820 seen it yet.

00:18:00.440 the walls are closing

00:18:02.220 in on Trump.

00:18:03.980 Have you seen that yet?

00:18:05.840 Has anybody on CNN

00:18:07.080 said the walls

00:18:08.420 are closing in?

00:18:11.340 And I'm pretty sure

00:18:12.340 that they have somebody

00:18:13.220 on retainer

00:18:14.720 whose only job it is

00:18:16.440 to say the walls

00:18:17.100 are closing in.

00:18:18.720 Like one of the

00:18:19.680 anti-Trump

00:18:20.680 opinion writers.

00:18:24.380 You know,

00:18:24.540 they have,

00:18:25.000 their opinion writers

00:18:25.760 are just the anti-Trumper,

00:18:27.240 you know,

00:18:27.480 go-to team.

00:18:29.280 Even they won't do it.

00:18:30.440 But no word yet

00:18:31.800 on MSNBC.

00:18:34.940 MSNBC,

00:18:35.760 I think they're

00:18:36.480 probably still committed.

00:18:38.260 Yeah,

00:18:38.480 they're still committed

00:18:39.160 to being nothing

00:18:40.380 even similar to news.

00:18:42.420 To be as far away

00:18:43.860 from anything

00:18:44.340 that's like a

00:18:45.060 legitimate news

00:18:46.060 entity as you

00:18:47.320 could possibly be.

00:18:48.960 So,

00:18:49.520 if you're making

00:18:50.080 CNN look like

00:18:51.000 the reasonable ones,

00:18:52.760 that's quite a statement.

00:18:54.820 And MSNBC,

00:18:55.900 I think,

00:18:56.260 they're doing it.

00:18:56.640 Well,

00:18:57.560 Jonathan Turley

00:18:58.380 weighed in

00:18:58.960 on these alleged

00:19:00.140 indictments

00:19:01.300 that are coming

00:19:01.860 for Trump

00:19:02.640 out of the

00:19:03.500 Manhattan office

00:19:04.300 and Alvin Bragg,

00:19:05.880 the DA.

00:19:07.540 And,

00:19:08.100 here's how

00:19:11.420 Jonathan Turley

00:19:12.220 puts it.

00:19:15.640 He says,

00:19:16.960 Trump faces

00:19:17.860 serious legal threats,

00:19:19.280 blah, blah, blah,

00:19:19.680 but the New York case

00:19:21.140 could be easily

00:19:22.180 dismissed

00:19:22.780 outside of a

00:19:23.880 jurisdiction

00:19:24.420 like New York

00:19:25.440 where Bragg

00:19:26.660 could count

00:19:27.220 on highly

00:19:27.720 motivated judges

00:19:28.740 and jurors.

00:19:30.340 So,

00:19:30.840 Turley,

00:19:31.380 who knows

00:19:31.920 what he's talking

00:19:32.480 about,

00:19:33.520 he's one of the

00:19:34.300 reasonable people

00:19:34.960 in the world,

00:19:36.120 says basically

00:19:36.960 it's only going

00:19:38.040 forward because

00:19:39.000 New York

00:19:39.600 is not a

00:19:41.020 reasonable place.

00:19:43.420 That's your

00:19:44.080 starting point,

00:19:44.940 that this wouldn't

00:19:46.080 work in a

00:19:46.580 reasonable state.

00:19:47.620 It's only that

00:19:48.300 New York is broken

00:19:49.240 that it's even

00:19:50.680 happening.

00:19:51.800 Now,

00:19:51.960 that's a good

00:19:52.360 starting place

00:19:53.340 for the

00:19:53.600 conversation.

00:19:54.420 Turley's branding

00:19:57.180 this America's

00:19:58.440 got Trump.

00:20:01.160 That's the funny

00:20:02.080 version of the

00:20:02.700 walls are closing

00:20:03.440 in,

00:20:04.220 like from the

00:20:05.180 people who can

00:20:06.100 see what's

00:20:06.500 happening.

00:20:07.660 It's like,

00:20:08.380 America's got

00:20:09.380 Trump.

00:20:10.520 And apparently,

00:20:11.920 could any of

00:20:12.860 this be televised?

00:20:17.600 Is it possible

00:20:18.620 that this would

00:20:19.240 be televised

00:20:19.940 and it would

00:20:20.360 actually be like

00:20:21.160 a reality show

00:20:23.180 America's got

00:20:23.940 Trump?

00:20:24.860 We got him

00:20:25.460 this time.

00:20:26.480 We got you

00:20:27.040 Trump.

00:20:28.920 I would kind

00:20:29.700 of enjoy that.

00:20:31.580 I would sort

00:20:32.180 of like to see

00:20:32.760 it.

00:20:33.900 Honestly,

00:20:34.820 I'd like to see

00:20:35.720 it.

00:20:36.220 I don't think

00:20:36.740 there's any

00:20:37.140 chance that

00:20:37.640 Trump will be

00:20:38.140 handcuffed

00:20:38.660 because that

00:20:39.220 would be just

00:20:39.680 handing him

00:20:40.140 the election.

00:20:41.440 But anything

00:20:42.320 is possible.

00:20:45.260 And apparently

00:20:45.740 the Hillary

00:20:46.380 Clinton campaign,

00:20:47.440 I'm reminded,

00:20:48.280 again by

00:20:48.740 Jonathan Turley

00:20:49.640 and writing

00:20:50.420 in the Hill

00:20:51.560 or at least

00:20:52.600 it's printed

00:20:53.100 in the Hill,

00:20:54.260 that the

00:20:56.260 Hillary Clinton

00:20:56.820 campaign hid

00:20:57.980 the Steele

00:20:58.520 dossier payments,

00:21:00.200 in other words,

00:21:00.800 they paid to have

00:21:01.840 the Steele dossier

00:21:02.680 created,

00:21:03.120 but they

00:21:04.260 laundered those

00:21:05.020 payments as

00:21:05.880 legal expenses

00:21:06.880 as opposed to a

00:21:08.560 campaign expense,

00:21:09.540 which it clearly

00:21:10.180 was.

00:21:10.600 Do you think

00:21:12.380 anybody was saying

00:21:13.100 that Hillary 1.00

00:21:14.600 should be picked

00:21:15.240 up and

00:21:15.560 handcuffed?

00:21:16.740 Of course not.

00:21:17.860 She just paid a

00:21:18.560 fine.

00:21:19.940 She paid a

00:21:20.500 fine.

00:21:20.840 That was it.

00:21:22.780 Now, it's not

00:21:24.140 exactly the same

00:21:25.240 situation, but on

00:21:28.120 the other hand,

00:21:29.100 it's exactly the

00:21:30.120 same situation, if

00:21:32.140 you know what I

00:21:32.600 mean.

00:21:33.040 It's different, but

00:21:34.480 it's exactly the

00:21:35.420 same, meaning that

00:21:36.780 they're both being

00:21:38.040 treated politically,

00:21:39.440 in my opinion.

00:21:40.720 Now, I think the

00:21:41.380 right way to treat

00:21:42.120 it is politically,

00:21:43.640 by the way.

00:21:44.920 And the right

00:21:45.460 way is the way

00:21:46.040 Hillary was 0.59

00:21:46.560 treated.

00:21:47.880 I'm actually glad

00:21:49.020 that Hillary was 0.83

00:21:49.700 not put in jail

00:21:50.780 for that Steele

00:21:51.620 dossier, because

00:21:53.660 if you start

00:21:55.240 going down that

00:21:56.000 road, then a

00:21:57.580 lot of political

00:21:58.260 stuff is going to

00:21:58.980 be a jailable 0.98

00:21:59.700 offense, and I'm

00:22:00.700 not sure that's

00:22:02.000 in our best

00:22:02.440 interest.

00:22:03.880 If you catch

00:22:05.620 them and you

00:22:06.080 make it news and

00:22:07.000 it's part of the

00:22:07.520 campaign, and

00:22:08.560 maybe information

00:22:10.480 is the better way

00:22:11.180 to go, I'm not

00:22:12.040 really in favor of

00:22:13.640 going hard against

00:22:14.540 candidates.

00:22:15.460 Especially losing

00:22:16.580 candidates.

00:22:17.880 That's not a good

00:22:18.640 look for the

00:22:20.020 republic.

00:22:21.280 So I would go

00:22:22.200 easy on politicians

00:22:23.660 at the highest

00:22:24.320 level, anyway.

00:22:25.240 I would go easy

00:22:25.980 on them for what I

00:22:27.400 call the technical

00:22:28.240 violations.

00:22:30.100 They're skeevy and

00:22:31.320 they're sketchy and

00:22:32.300 they're unethical, but

00:22:34.740 if you put them in

00:22:36.000 jail, it's just a

00:22:36.980 whole different game.

00:22:37.820 So let me say as

00:22:40.820 clearly as possible, I

00:22:42.200 do not believe in

00:22:43.060 equal justice for

00:22:43.940 all.

00:22:44.760 I believe that our

00:22:45.640 leaders should be

00:22:46.260 treated better than

00:22:48.100 the rest of us.

00:22:50.400 Has anybody ever

00:22:51.320 said that?

00:22:52.960 As long as I apply

00:22:54.060 it to both sides, I

00:22:55.640 feel like it's a

00:22:56.300 completely reasonable

00:22:58.320 thing to say.

00:22:59.560 Yeah, the whole

00:23:00.100 nobody's above the

00:23:02.420 law, I get that.

00:23:04.740 Nobody's above the

00:23:05.600 law, but you

00:23:06.440 still have to run

00:23:07.140 the law for the

00:23:07.820 benefit of the

00:23:08.380 citizens.

00:23:14.080 No, people should

00:23:16.320 not pull their

00:23:17.060 money from banks

00:23:18.040 because of the

00:23:18.840 January 6th thing.

00:23:20.560 Do not crash the

00:23:21.540 economy of the

00:23:22.200 United States over

00:23:23.140 a protest.

00:23:24.100 That's not the way

00:23:24.840 to go.

00:23:25.120 I'm seeing that

00:23:25.600 suggestion.

00:23:26.940 That's not a good

00:23:27.740 suggestion.

00:23:28.800 Yeah, you should

00:23:29.800 drop that right away.

00:23:31.620 I'm okay with

00:23:32.340 protests, but don't

00:23:34.340 destroy your own

00:23:35.240 economy.

00:23:35.800 That sounds like

00:23:36.360 China talking.

00:23:38.120 I mean, seriously,

00:23:39.400 if I had to guess,

00:23:40.260 I'd say you were a

00:23:40.900 Chinese agent with

00:23:41.940 that idea.

00:23:43.160 That's not any kind

00:23:44.180 of a patriotic idea.

00:23:46.460 It's the worst idea

00:23:47.580 of all time.

00:23:49.540 Protests, good.

00:23:51.300 Protests, good.

00:23:53.400 Safe protest.

00:23:54.860 Crashing the economy,

00:23:56.100 no, absolutely not.

00:23:58.160 Worst idea ever.

00:24:00.820 I don't care who's 0.99

00:24:01.520 pushing it.

00:24:02.460 It's a dumb fuck

00:24:03.380 idea.

00:24:03.760 It's like really

00:24:04.580 bad idea.

00:24:05.860 Really bad idea.

00:24:07.280 Worst idea I've ever

00:24:08.220 heard.

00:24:09.380 In the history of

00:24:10.300 ideas, it's the worst

00:24:11.300 one.

00:24:13.380 All right, here's the

00:24:14.760 other thing we're not

00:24:15.340 talking about.

00:24:16.660 Why is this not a

00:24:17.720 race story?

00:24:18.840 Because the prosecutor

00:24:19.880 is Elvin Bragg.

00:24:21.860 He's a black man.

00:24:23.720 Trump is usually

00:24:26.100 unfairly accused of

00:24:27.500 being a giant racist.

00:24:28.900 You don't think race

00:24:29.740 has anything to do

00:24:30.540 with this?

00:24:31.860 You don't think if

00:24:32.680 the roles were

00:24:33.520 reversed, that's all

00:24:34.800 we'd be talking about?

00:24:36.060 Of course we would.

00:24:37.560 Of course we would.

00:24:38.560 And of course it's

00:24:39.320 racial.

00:24:40.000 It's not entirely

00:24:40.860 racial.

00:24:41.420 It's more political

00:24:42.220 than racial.

00:24:43.200 But it's also racial.

00:24:45.640 It's also racial.

00:24:48.280 So Soros indirectly

00:24:50.260 funded Elvin Bragg and

00:24:52.620 other so-called

00:24:54.000 progressive prosecutors.

00:24:55.720 And I guess the way

00:24:57.120 it's done is, at least

00:24:58.640 in part, is through an

00:24:59.880 organization called

00:25:01.160 Color of Change.

00:25:03.660 Color of Change.

00:25:05.080 So I read that today

00:25:06.360 and I thought, well,

00:25:07.080 who are they?

00:25:08.160 So Color of Change is

00:25:09.600 a group who has both

00:25:13.400 white and black

00:25:14.100 numbers and they're

00:25:15.460 fighting for a variety

00:25:17.440 of social improvements

00:25:19.240 that could broadly be

00:25:21.320 called systemic racism.

00:25:22.560 So some of the things

00:25:24.720 which this group has

00:25:25.600 accomplished is getting

00:25:27.600 NCAA athletes paid in

00:25:29.460 California.

00:25:31.220 Getting them paid for

00:25:32.420 racial justice.

00:25:34.520 Because there are so

00:25:35.620 many black athletes, I

00:25:36.580 guess.

00:25:37.980 That's real important

00:25:39.240 work that I don't think

00:25:41.340 anybody cared about.

00:25:43.160 Nobody.

00:25:44.600 And let's see, what

00:25:46.340 else have they done?

00:25:47.160 Some valuable stuff.

00:25:49.720 They've stopped some

00:25:50.800 apps that were

00:25:51.660 predatory lending.

00:25:54.360 And they've stopped

00:25:55.300 weddings at plantation

00:25:56.500 sites.

00:25:57.680 So no more weddings at

00:25:58.740 places where slavery

00:25:59.780 was a thing.

00:26:01.720 Those are the things

00:26:02.700 that are listed.

00:26:04.280 But then there are

00:26:05.200 also things where

00:26:06.500 they're trying to get

00:26:07.520 progressive candidates

00:26:11.160 elected.

00:26:12.840 So apparently that's

00:26:16.440 happened.

00:26:17.640 Now, how is this not

00:26:21.020 racist?

00:26:22.480 It's racist, right?

00:26:24.200 It's an entire

00:26:24.780 organization working for

00:26:26.500 one group.

00:26:29.780 And I looked at a

00:26:31.400 picture of the people

00:26:32.840 who worked for them.

00:26:33.760 And I was pleased that

00:26:36.000 with the group photo,

00:26:37.200 there were a number of

00:26:37.940 white faces who were

00:26:40.260 also working for justice.

00:26:42.420 And they were working

00:26:43.360 together as a group.

00:26:44.720 And I wondered to

00:26:45.540 myself, huh, if the

00:26:47.840 actual number of people

00:26:48.880 actually had a pretty

00:26:49.960 good number, I don't

00:26:51.100 know, maybe 20% or

00:26:52.160 something.

00:26:53.000 I mean, that's pretty

00:26:53.860 significant.

00:26:55.000 20% looked like they 0.98

00:26:56.260 were white.

00:26:56.940 But then I looked at

00:26:57.940 the official documentation

00:27:00.440 for the group.

00:27:02.020 I don't think there are

00:27:02.940 any white people when

00:27:05.100 they advertise their

00:27:05.980 group.

00:27:07.900 Just sort of a racist

00:27:09.480 thing.

00:27:10.140 They just show the

00:27:11.020 black faces as members

00:27:12.400 of the group.

00:27:12.920 But when they actually do

00:27:13.780 a photograph, they do

00:27:16.040 have a good number of

00:27:17.220 white members.

00:27:19.720 Interesting that they

00:27:20.580 wouldn't focus on them

00:27:21.400 or show that it's a

00:27:23.020 bipartisan group.

00:27:24.720 I mean, you'd think

00:27:25.260 it'd be stronger if it

00:27:26.160 were bipartisan, right?

00:27:27.840 So anyway, it looks

00:27:28.940 like a racist group.

00:27:31.020 But not all racism is

00:27:33.060 poorly intended.

00:27:34.360 It might have good

00:27:35.000 intentions.

00:27:37.040 But a lot of racism

00:27:38.120 happens just sort of

00:27:39.680 because that's the way

00:27:41.300 the world works.

00:27:41.980 All right.

00:27:46.040 Somebody named John

00:27:47.880 Anthony Castro, who

00:27:49.600 apparently has a million

00:27:50.540 dollars to waste, he's

00:27:52.620 talking about the fact

00:27:53.420 that Trump said, asked

00:27:56.100 people to protest his

00:27:58.040 coming election or his

00:27:59.660 coming indictment.

00:28:01.940 Now, is Trump saying

00:28:03.580 protest, just that one

00:28:05.140 word, protest, is that

00:28:07.940 suggesting people should

00:28:09.920 do illegal and dangerous

00:28:11.500 things?

00:28:12.740 When you hear the word

00:28:13.520 protest in the United

00:28:14.680 States, do you just

00:28:15.560 immediately think, oh,

00:28:16.600 danger, violence?

00:28:18.440 Or do you think it's the

00:28:20.320 basis upon which our

00:28:21.760 country is built, the

00:28:23.340 most fundamental right

00:28:24.560 we have, of free speech

00:28:26.320 and protest?

00:28:27.460 Now, I think that calling

00:28:28.740 for protest is entirely

00:28:32.300 fair, whether it's a good

00:28:35.620 idea or not.

00:28:37.160 All right?

00:28:37.460 That's a separate

00:28:38.000 question.

00:28:38.860 It might not be a good

00:28:39.860 idea.

00:28:40.940 I think it would be a bad

00:28:41.900 idea, actually.

00:28:42.520 I think that a good

00:28:43.960 idea would be to let it

00:28:46.300 play out and then Trump

00:28:47.960 wins in the landslide

00:28:48.920 because it's so obvious

00:28:50.040 that the system is corrupt.

00:28:53.540 That would be the way I'd

00:28:54.780 do it.

00:28:55.640 Now, I think protest can

00:28:56.940 also be verbally, meaning

00:28:58.940 that people like me can say,

00:29:01.040 oh, this is clearly, you

00:29:02.760 know, nothing like justice,

00:29:04.520 not even close.

00:29:05.300 So I don't want to, you

00:29:07.480 know, suggest that anybody

00:29:08.500 hits the streets.

00:29:10.060 But I guess there's some

00:29:12.780 concern that they might.

00:29:13.960 So this Twitter user,

00:29:15.560 John Anthony Castro, says,

00:29:17.380 New Yorkers, if they try to

00:29:19.460 January 6th, a New York

00:29:21.400 courthouse, show up with

00:29:23.520 bats.

00:29:24.620 Time to put these MAGA

00:29:26.000 MFers in their place. 0.99

00:29:29.360 I'm donating $1 million

00:29:30.800 toward armed security.

00:29:33.200 No more Fing around. 0.98

00:29:34.940 If we're going to take

00:29:36.340 this prick down, we have

00:29:38.020 to do it together.

00:29:40.500 Now, my first thought

00:29:43.520 about this is that no

00:29:47.400 story that involves bats

00:29:49.260 ever works out just the

00:29:51.880 way you hope it would.

00:29:53.940 First observation.

00:29:55.280 That's more of a

00:29:55.860 simulation thing.

00:29:57.160 As soon as the word bats

00:29:58.940 is part of the story, you

00:30:01.160 know this isn't going to

00:30:02.000 go in a good direction.

00:30:02.900 Nothing good started with

00:30:05.940 bats.

00:30:08.000 Can you think of any

00:30:08.820 happy story that started

00:30:09.980 with bats flew out of a

00:30:12.920 cage and dropped money on

00:30:15.260 everybody?

00:30:16.240 No.

00:30:16.680 No.

00:30:17.100 Never.

00:30:18.660 Bats were used in this

00:30:21.300 battle between...

00:30:22.240 No.

00:30:22.540 No good.

00:30:23.360 No.

00:30:23.680 Nothing with bats.

00:30:25.060 Bats.

00:30:25.320 But I thought this was a

00:30:28.920 great, great idea by the...

00:30:31.920 By probably a Democrat.

00:30:33.740 Because if you're going to

00:30:35.020 take on the greatest

00:30:36.840 supporters of the Second

00:30:37.940 Amendment, the way to do it

00:30:39.700 is with bats.

00:30:42.000 And let me extend that.

00:30:44.260 If ever there comes a civil

00:30:45.740 war between red and blue

00:30:47.600 America, do not take your

00:30:50.700 ARs, if you have them,

00:30:52.240 Democrats.

00:30:52.560 Take your bats.

00:30:55.160 Those bats are really going

00:30:56.680 to be effective against the

00:30:58.040 people who are the biggest

00:30:59.820 proponents of the Second

00:31:00.920 Amendment.

00:31:02.520 So good luck with that.

00:31:04.920 Now, I do not recommend

00:31:06.200 violence with bats or guns

00:31:09.080 or anything else.

00:31:10.200 In fact, I don't even think

00:31:11.220 you should hit the streets

00:31:12.900 about this.

00:31:14.380 But Batman, I'm going to just

00:31:20.060 call him Batman, John

00:31:21.860 Anthony Castro.

00:31:23.360 So Batman has a plan that

00:31:25.220 might be the worst plan I've

00:31:26.500 ever heard, but I do hope he

00:31:27.680 spends a million dollars on

00:31:29.240 armed security, because that

00:31:31.260 would be funny.

00:31:33.080 I'd just like him to spend a

00:31:34.460 million dollars on armed

00:31:35.420 security.

00:31:36.940 All right.

00:31:37.540 Remember I said that maybe

00:31:38.680 the only way to do something

00:31:40.180 about fentanyl demand, just on

00:31:43.180 the demand side, would be to

00:31:45.180 provide fentanyl for free and

00:31:48.500 make it cheaper than the

00:31:49.680 cartels and maybe put them 0.50

00:31:51.800 out of business.

00:31:53.060 Turns out that Vancouver is

00:31:55.240 doing exactly that.

00:31:57.120 So Vancouver is doing some

00:31:58.500 kind of...

00:31:58.820 Oh, there we go.

00:31:59.940 We're back.

00:32:01.120 So the idea would be that if

00:32:03.420 you had a prescription, you

00:32:04.240 could get fentanyl powder, but

00:32:05.960 the quality control and the

00:32:07.460 quantity would be carefully

00:32:09.540 controlled so that the odds of

00:32:12.120 getting an overdose would be

00:32:13.960 much lower.

00:32:18.660 And apparently substituting

00:32:20.600 fentanyl for anything won't

00:32:23.040 work.

00:32:23.920 Do you know why?

00:32:25.180 Do you know why you can't say,

00:32:26.420 hey, hey, we won't give you

00:32:27.500 fentanyl, but here's this free

00:32:29.480 cocaine or free heroin or

00:32:31.880 something like that?

00:32:33.080 Do you know why?

00:32:34.540 It's because the fentanyl is

00:32:35.540 better.

00:32:36.580 So the people who are addicts,

00:32:37.960 they're not going to do the

00:32:40.980 second choice.

00:32:43.160 They're just not going to do

00:32:44.040 that.

00:32:44.860 So they do need the fentanyl or

00:32:46.640 they're just going to get it

00:32:47.560 illegally because the illegal

00:32:48.880 fentanyl would be better than

00:32:50.120 legal heroin or legal anything.

00:32:53.860 So you're going to have to meet

00:32:55.400 them at fentanyl or they're just

00:32:56.760 going to go get it.

00:32:57.560 So all I will say about this is

00:33:06.360 that I'm glad somebody's trying

00:33:08.160 it.

00:33:09.380 I'm glad somebody's trying it.

00:33:11.460 Now, if you ask me, would you bet

00:33:13.620 that this will work?

00:33:15.020 I'd probably bet against it.

00:33:17.100 And the only reason I'd bet against

00:33:18.460 it is that everything we've tried

00:33:20.100 hasn't worked.

00:33:21.460 Am I right?

00:33:22.860 It wouldn't even matter what it

00:33:24.340 was if it sounded like the best

00:33:25.900 idea in the world, the best idea

00:33:28.260 in the world, I'd still say,

00:33:30.620 well, nothing's ever worked

00:33:32.320 before, so probably not this.

00:33:34.140 But you have to try it.

00:33:36.380 Somebody's got to try it.

00:33:37.600 So I say, you know, standing

00:33:40.600 ovation to Vancouver for putting

00:33:42.800 themselves out there trying

00:33:44.120 something.

00:33:45.380 Could work.

00:33:46.640 I wouldn't rule it out.

00:33:48.360 Could work.

00:33:49.880 I was reminded in the comments to

00:33:51.800 back up on the Trump indictment

00:33:54.600 indictment story.

00:33:56.400 So Vivek Ramaswamy is calling

00:33:58.240 for Republican candidates to

00:34:00.900 disavow or to, you know, talk

00:34:04.840 out against this illegal-looking

00:34:07.180 indictment.

00:34:08.540 I won't say illegal-looking.

00:34:10.160 Let me say that it's obviously a

00:34:12.020 political indictment.

00:34:14.080 Obviously a political indictment.

00:34:15.780 Everybody can see it.

00:34:17.260 Well, everybody who pays attention

00:34:18.580 can see it.

00:34:19.220 So, and I was reminded to say that

00:34:23.960 Vivek is picking up free money.

00:34:26.020 Absolutely.

00:34:27.240 Yeah.

00:34:27.580 So that's another smart, just a smart

00:34:30.900 play by Vivek.

00:34:32.320 Because if you're a Republican and

00:34:35.040 you're not speaking out against a

00:34:37.540 political arrest of the most

00:34:39.880 prominent Republican, if you're not

00:34:43.060 talking out about that, you do not

00:34:45.520 deserve to run for office.

00:34:46.760 I'm sorry, the minimum bar for being

00:34:50.920 a, you know, let's say a national

00:34:53.680 credible Republican is to disavow

00:34:57.900 this.

00:34:58.880 If you can't say that out loud and

00:35:00.820 right away, with no hedging

00:35:02.660 whatsoever, you cannot be a

00:35:05.400 president.

00:35:06.240 Or at least you're not going to get

00:35:07.220 votes from Republicans.

00:35:08.660 Now this puts DeSantis in an

00:35:10.400 interesting situation.

00:35:12.860 Because I saw Mike Cernovich say

00:35:15.020 that he could, DeSantis could, you

00:35:17.820 know, try to work against the

00:35:20.120 federal government jurisdiction,

00:35:23.420 you know, try to, try to do some

00:35:24.840 jurisdiction thing.

00:35:26.660 I don't think it would work.

00:35:28.640 And I don't think that, I don't think

00:35:30.760 that Mike Cernovich thinks it would

00:35:32.180 work.

00:35:32.860 But it might be the right look.

00:35:35.180 Might be the right look.

00:35:36.700 You know, it's free money.

00:35:38.260 Just pick it up and say you'll do

00:35:39.720 whatever you can to stop it from

00:35:41.040 happening because it's obviously a

00:35:42.360 political thing.

00:35:43.020 Now, it won't make any difference

00:35:45.780 in the real world, but at least

00:35:47.780 you'd be throwing down your marker

00:35:49.400 and saying, all right, I say this is

00:35:51.460 wrong.

00:35:52.740 And it's stronger.

00:35:54.380 It's stronger because he'd be

00:35:55.920 talking about somebody who's

00:35:56.860 potentially, you know, his

00:35:58.580 strongest competitor to be

00:35:59.920 president.

00:36:01.020 So if DeSantis can't say out loud,

00:36:05.380 strongly, and fairly soon, this

00:36:07.860 isn't right, this is political, it's

00:36:09.840 got to end, whether or not he tries

00:36:12.360 to stop it with some, you know,

00:36:14.000 Florida law that is separate.

00:36:15.300 But if he can't say that full-throated,

00:36:19.300 he's not qualified to be president,

00:36:22.160 in my opinion.

00:36:23.140 That would be disqualifying.

00:36:25.240 And I think that it's just another

00:36:26.640 example where Vivek Ramaswamy is

00:36:30.220 doing smart things right in front of

00:36:33.440 you.

00:36:34.680 I'm not sure you could get elected

00:36:36.120 doing smart things.

00:36:37.600 I hate to say it, but, you know, if

00:36:39.620 you did only smart things, I don't

00:36:41.220 know if the public would get

00:36:44.040 inspired.

00:36:45.020 Sometimes they need a little, you

00:36:46.520 know, red meat.

00:36:49.100 But anyway, good to anybody who's

00:36:51.520 smart enough to take the free money

00:36:52.960 and denounce it on the Republican

00:36:55.260 side.

00:36:56.680 All right, here's another idea for

00:36:58.640 dealing with the cartels, but I'll

00:37:01.600 update you with what Peter Zayen says

00:37:06.040 about the cartels at the moment.

00:37:08.200 Now, I've been asked by members of

00:37:10.020 the audience, and thank you for

00:37:12.320 doing that, that I should see what

00:37:13.920 Peter Zayen says about this whole

00:37:15.540 cartel fentanyl business.

00:37:18.140 And so I did.

00:37:19.540 Now, his point of view, I have not

00:37:21.380 heard anywhere else.

00:37:24.480 But I think he knows what he's

00:37:26.620 talking about.

00:37:27.560 So I'm going to give you the caveat

00:37:28.980 that I don't know that this is true,

00:37:31.640 because it's still a single source.

00:37:33.420 But it is a single source from a

00:37:35.540 smart, connected person I don't

00:37:38.000 think has a reason to lie.

00:37:39.940 And it goes like this.

00:37:41.900 The image that I had of the

00:37:44.780 cartels was that there might be two

00:37:47.060 or three big ones, and they've sort

00:37:49.560 of reached a kind of a sort of a

00:37:52.840 mafia-like agreement about who has

00:37:54.580 what territory.

00:37:55.840 So in effect, one or more of them

00:37:58.280 could control the government and the

00:38:00.520 border and everything else.

00:38:01.560 But basically, the cartels were like

00:38:03.580 this big, well-managed, you know,

00:38:06.240 solid industry.

00:38:08.140 And then there were a few of them,

00:38:09.620 and they'd reached some kind of a

00:38:10.900 balancing point where they weren't

00:38:12.220 fighting each other so much.

00:38:13.740 They were just sort of controlling

00:38:14.940 their domains.

00:38:16.220 Turns out that's all wrong.

00:38:18.360 All wrong.

00:38:19.800 Apparently, and I hope I have this

00:38:22.240 right, that when the U.S.

00:38:24.320 got El Chapo, his cartel sort of

00:38:30.300 disintegrated into warring factions

00:38:32.220 trying to take over what was left.

00:38:34.800 So now the biggest one became a bunch

00:38:36.940 of warring factions.

00:38:38.520 The smaller ones apparently also are

00:38:41.300 more characterized as thugs, you know,

00:38:44.920 warring with each other.

00:38:46.160 And that the reason that the murder rate

00:38:49.180 is currently so high is because the

00:38:51.880 cartels do not have control.

00:38:53.560 Isn't that a, you know, mind effort?

00:38:59.120 I always thought it was because the

00:39:00.940 cartels had control that they were just

00:39:04.100 killing anybody they could kill, you 0.98

00:39:05.520 know, willy-nilly.

00:39:06.500 But apparently when El Chapo was in

00:39:08.720 control, the murder rate went way down

00:39:11.480 because they didn't want trouble.

00:39:13.580 They just wanted to run as business.

00:39:16.500 So apparently the Sinaloa cartel was

00:39:18.280 like a business.

00:39:19.120 What's left is more like gangs.

00:39:23.000 So the situation has degenerated from

00:39:25.460 something like a business of selling

00:39:28.040 drugs to gang selling drugs.

00:39:31.360 And that now it's just violence and

00:39:33.220 inter-fighting.

00:39:35.740 Now, under that situation, you would have

00:39:38.440 to deal with them a little bit

00:39:39.440 differently.

00:39:40.940 I was thinking that if there really are

00:39:43.200 big cartels that you could negotiate

00:39:45.240 with, you could actually negotiate with

00:39:47.360 them, just like a country, and just say,

00:39:50.600 look, we're bigger than you, we are

00:39:52.540 going to crush you, you need to do

00:39:55.020 something different.

00:39:56.720 And then, you know, at least make the

00:39:59.060 offer before you crush them.

00:40:00.800 It seems like the sporting thing to do.

00:40:03.620 But if it's really a bunch of disjoint

00:40:05.980 people fighting for power, that's a

00:40:08.620 whole different deal.

00:40:10.180 So let me suggest a strategy that

00:40:14.600 matches that situation.

00:40:18.240 Instead of invading with the military,

00:40:21.300 you simply put whatever assets in

00:40:24.140 place that you need to, to know what

00:40:26.080 all of the cartel people are doing.

00:40:28.320 And then whenever you see something, you

00:40:29.880 tell the other cartels, hey, looks like

00:40:32.740 this cartel has got a little action going

00:40:34.480 over here, just letting you know.

00:40:37.200 Hey, it looks like there's a big shipment

00:40:40.140 that just came out of the Sinaloa group

00:40:42.820 and it's on this highway, heading

00:40:45.060 toward the border, in case you want to

00:40:47.380 stop it.

00:40:49.080 Somebody says there's a movie called

00:40:50.520 Sicario where they did that.

00:40:52.300 I don't know that movie.

00:40:53.900 Now, I'm not saying this is a good idea.

00:40:57.060 But if you knew that the cartels were

00:41:00.100 breaking into factions and infighting,

00:41:03.300 would you ask yourself, are we already

00:41:06.160 doing that?

00:41:06.840 Are we already doing it?

00:41:11.220 And why wouldn't we?

00:41:13.600 I presume that U.S.

00:41:16.400 intelligence assets are operating in

00:41:18.340 Mexico.

00:41:19.080 Don't you?

00:41:20.200 Don't you think we have some CIA or

00:41:23.080 something going on in Mexico involving

00:41:25.140 the cartels?

00:41:26.220 I assume so.

00:41:27.620 Of course we do, right?

00:41:29.000 Now, what would be the best thing you

00:41:31.220 could do if you couldn't move your own

00:41:32.640 assets in?

00:41:34.020 Well, you don't want the cartels to get

00:41:36.000 so powerful that they are literally

00:41:40.380 like a country, forming their own

00:41:42.420 armies and stuff.

00:41:43.780 So the first thing you do is give them

00:41:45.320 all information about the other ones

00:41:46.880 and just keep it coming.

00:41:48.720 And just make them fight with each

00:41:50.180 other, give them some rumors.

00:41:51.940 Hey, did you know this other faction is

00:41:53.920 planning to move against you?

00:41:55.960 I don't know.

00:41:56.880 Yeah, they're really serious.

00:41:58.680 I don't know.

00:41:59.280 Your best bet might be to move against

00:42:00.800 them first.

00:42:02.160 You know, take the first shot.

00:42:03.900 So there's a part of me that wonders

00:42:05.920 if there's any part of our military or

00:42:08.880 intelligence agencies that are already

00:42:11.160 breaking up the cartels into small parts

00:42:14.260 by rumors and information and

00:42:18.100 narcing on one group versus the other.

00:42:20.420 It kind of looks like it.

00:42:24.260 So I'm not going to say that's what's

00:42:25.800 happening, but why wouldn't it?

00:42:30.060 I mean, why wouldn't it?

00:42:31.080 It's the obvious thing to do, isn't it?

00:42:33.220 It's the most obvious thing to do.

00:42:35.360 So I'm going to say it's not a suggestion.

00:42:39.040 It looks like it's happening.

00:42:41.540 And I don't know where that's going to end

00:42:43.840 up, but it looks like it's happening.

00:42:45.100 And I also heard, let me see if you

00:42:50.980 think this is true.

00:42:53.620 Remember, we always used to hear about

00:42:55.180 the Crips and the Bloods.

00:42:58.680 You know, it was like, you hear about it

00:42:59.980 all the time.

00:43:01.360 And I don't hear about it so much.

00:43:05.080 At least in Southern California, I don't

00:43:06.980 hear about it so much.

00:43:08.520 And there's some speculation that the

00:43:11.020 MS-13 wiped them out and just killed

00:43:13.760 all the people who were competitors.

00:43:16.420 Now, obviously, they still exist, of

00:43:18.300 course.

00:43:19.140 But I wonder if MS-13 actually wiped out

00:43:21.720 their drug competition.

00:43:25.800 Yeah.

00:43:27.560 Now, I would have trouble believing that

00:43:31.160 anything thorough happened, like all the

00:43:34.040 drug business went away.

00:43:35.700 I don't think that.

00:43:36.900 But I wonder if there's anything to that,

00:43:38.400 that the MS-13 got rid of the rival gangs.

00:43:42.480 Because that is the first thing they do.

00:43:44.080 They get rid of the rival gangs so they can

00:43:45.700 take over the business.

00:43:47.600 I don't know.

00:43:48.920 I'm not sure I believe anything about that.

00:43:53.020 Here's a question for you.

00:43:55.480 If someday we have chips in our skulls,

00:43:58.980 you know, microchips or little computers

00:44:00.880 in our skulls, that's what, you know,

00:44:02.820 Neuralink is trying to do.

00:44:04.160 I'm sure others will do it.

00:44:06.660 Will we get to the point where robots

00:44:08.280 can read your mind?

00:44:12.980 I think so.

00:44:14.200 Because robots will have AI in them,

00:44:16.320 eventually.

00:44:17.320 Wouldn't you agree?

00:44:18.840 Of course a robot will have AI.

00:44:21.500 Now, if you have AI,

00:44:24.120 can't you hack any password?

00:44:26.880 If you had AI and maybe a connection

00:44:29.800 to a quantum computer?

00:44:33.780 Yeah, right.

00:44:34.480 If the AI had connection to a quantum computer

00:44:37.320 and also had all full AI,

00:44:40.640 it could kind of crack any password

00:44:42.240 or encryption.

00:44:44.460 And could it pick up a signal

00:44:45.940 from the chip in your head?

00:44:47.580 And could your robot walk up to you,

00:44:49.420 read your signal, and say,

00:44:51.060 Oh, I see you would like a glass of water.

00:44:55.480 I'll get one.

00:44:56.280 Now, that's the good news.

00:44:58.680 But suppose you committed a crime

00:45:02.080 and you died in the commission of the crime.

00:45:06.080 Do you think your chip

00:45:07.300 will remember the memories of what happened?

00:45:11.780 Because we do know now

00:45:13.060 that you can assemble a memory

00:45:15.560 by scanning somebody's brain.

00:45:18.640 You know that's real, right?

00:45:20.000 That's an actual real thing.

00:45:22.520 If you knew how to scan

00:45:24.260 or monitor somebody's brain,

00:45:26.760 you can actually reassemble their memories.

00:45:30.760 Like in picture form.

00:45:33.020 So in theory,

00:45:34.800 you could take a dead guy,

00:45:36.440 take his chip out,

00:45:37.480 and if it had any memory in it,

00:45:38.780 we don't know if they'd have memory,

00:45:40.300 but presumably someday they'll have memory, right?

00:45:43.600 And you could actually read the memories.

00:45:46.820 I believe that's current technology.

00:45:50.000 It's not operational,

00:45:51.880 like not commercialized current technology,

00:45:54.160 but every part of that has been demonstrated,

00:45:56.900 I think.

00:45:59.140 Now, is there any situation

00:46:01.860 where you'd have a chip in your head

00:46:03.280 and the chip in your head

00:46:05.480 did not communicate with the rest of the world?

00:46:07.640 Because that would be its best benefit.

00:46:11.200 It could communicate with the world.

00:46:13.260 So it's got to be sending out some signal.

00:46:15.960 So pretty soon you'll have a signal

00:46:17.760 and an artificial memory in your head.

00:46:20.080 Maybe not, you know, version one, two, or three.

00:46:22.520 But I think you're going to have

00:46:23.940 some kind of memory chip in your head.

00:46:28.660 Yeah.

00:46:29.820 So I don't know what the future looks like.

00:46:32.320 You know, I do agree with,

00:46:34.900 well, I agree with what I imagine

00:46:37.460 Elon Musk is thinking.

00:46:39.940 So this is not mind reading,

00:46:41.280 it's a speculation again.

00:46:43.520 I think that he probably says

00:46:45.160 it's going to happen no matter what,

00:46:47.520 save with AI.

00:46:48.520 It's going to happen no matter what.

00:46:50.520 And if he's involved,

00:46:51.940 maybe he can keep it more ethical.

00:46:54.860 But it's going to happen.

00:46:56.700 So you might as well,

00:46:57.660 if you're not an unethical person,

00:46:59.500 well, maybe it's best

00:47:00.920 that you're the one who's making it happen.

00:47:03.060 At least you have a chance that way.

00:47:05.800 That's what I speculate he thinks.

00:47:07.680 I'm not reading his mind.

00:47:09.920 All right, let's read his mind this time.

00:47:12.880 All right, this time we're going to read his mind.

00:47:15.000 All right.

00:47:16.280 I went from speculating to this time

00:47:18.340 I'm going to read Elon Musk's mind.

00:47:20.480 And you can all join me, just for fun.

00:47:23.140 Here's the story.

00:47:24.580 He just, he tweeted down a meme

00:47:28.060 early this morning.

00:47:29.500 As in the middle of the night.

00:47:31.980 And the meme said,

00:47:33.280 without any explanation,

00:47:35.540 the meme said,

00:47:36.920 falling in love hits different

00:47:38.260 when you know they're a paid actor

00:47:40.160 sent by the CIA

00:47:41.260 to distract you from dedicating your life

00:47:44.020 to dismantling the government.

00:47:48.420 What does that mean?

00:47:52.160 Falling in love hits different

00:47:53.600 when you know they're a paid actor

00:47:56.020 sent by the CIA to distract you

00:47:58.120 from dedicating your life

00:47:59.760 to dismantling the government?

00:48:01.220 First of all,

00:48:03.400 is Elon Musk

00:48:04.380 dismantling the government?

00:48:08.240 I mean,

00:48:08.840 in a way,

00:48:10.180 in a way, yes.

00:48:12.040 In a literal way, no.

00:48:15.000 But in a conceptual way, yes,

00:48:17.180 through the Twitter files.

00:48:18.260 But do you think that he had

00:48:23.260 some recent experience

00:48:24.720 with somebody he thought

00:48:26.100 was sent by the CIA

00:48:27.220 to act like his girlfriend?

00:48:31.720 Of course he did.

00:48:34.040 Of course.

00:48:34.880 Do you think the CIA

00:48:36.820 isn't trying to get into

00:48:37.960 Elon Musk's personal life?

00:48:40.840 Well, I assume they are.

00:48:45.980 Now, I doubt

00:48:46.760 that they would send somebody

00:48:48.440 I doubt they would

00:48:51.180 send somebody

00:48:52.280 who was like

00:48:52.700 on the payroll.

00:48:53.980 I don't think they'd do that.

00:48:55.960 I think it's more like

00:48:56.960 somebody they know

00:48:58.620 would tell them stuff.

00:49:01.420 Yeah, somebody

00:49:02.020 associated with, perhaps,

00:49:04.620 in some way.

00:49:06.560 Yeah.

00:49:07.480 Now, I don't know

00:49:08.580 if that's what he means.

00:49:09.380 Do you think there's

00:49:10.040 another meaning to this?

00:49:11.480 Because it could be

00:49:12.140 just a metaphor

00:49:13.180 for something that's

00:49:14.940 happening in the news.

00:49:16.460 Do you think it's just

00:49:17.120 a metaphor for something

00:49:18.140 happening in the news?

00:49:20.120 Or do you think

00:49:20.940 he's telling you

00:49:21.600 that they sent somebody

00:49:22.600 and he found out?

00:49:24.840 Or he figured it out?

00:49:29.340 What do you think?

00:49:31.480 I don't know.

00:49:32.020 I just love the fact

00:49:33.260 that we don't know.

00:49:35.100 Like, it's open

00:49:36.000 to interpretation.

00:49:39.380 I don't know.

00:49:40.660 But I'd be surprised

00:49:41.600 if they didn't send somebody.

00:49:43.900 Wouldn't you be surprised?

00:49:45.660 Because I would think

00:49:46.520 the CIA would wonder,

00:49:48.400 huh, I hope he's

00:49:49.680 totally on our side.

00:49:51.700 You know, is he ever,

00:49:52.940 is he ever not on our side?

00:49:55.660 I feel like the CIA

00:49:56.980 would want to know

00:49:57.720 as much as they could

00:49:58.640 know about him

00:49:59.780 and his business.

00:50:01.240 Just to, you know,

00:50:02.760 just to be careful.

00:50:03.640 because he has

00:50:04.600 so much influence,

00:50:06.180 you want to make sure

00:50:07.060 that he's not influenced

00:50:08.160 by somebody

00:50:09.700 from outside America.

00:50:12.300 I don't know.

00:50:14.160 I don't know.

00:50:15.160 I guess we'll probably

00:50:15.940 never know the answer

00:50:16.960 to what this is,

00:50:17.800 but it's intriguing.

00:50:19.600 All right.

00:50:21.800 Article in,

00:50:22.660 one of the news,

00:50:24.200 was it CNN?

00:50:25.060 I think,

00:50:27.060 according to Pew Research,

00:50:29.160 63% of men

00:50:30.620 between 18 and 29

00:50:32.000 are single.

00:50:34.100 That means the number

00:50:35.400 of single young men

00:50:36.460 is nearly twice as that

00:50:37.860 of single young women.

00:50:41.200 What?

00:50:44.160 What?

00:50:46.000 How is that possible?

00:50:49.420 Do the math.

00:50:50.540 How is that possible?

00:50:55.080 Lesbianism? 0.99

00:50:55.920 No.

00:50:56.380 The only way

00:51:02.000 I can see this

00:51:02.640 is possible

00:51:03.180 is that the young women

00:51:04.320 are with older men.

00:51:06.240 They're dating older men.

00:51:08.820 Is that the answer?

00:51:10.960 And why do you think

00:51:11.980 that younger women 1.00

00:51:13.160 are presumably

00:51:15.280 more than ever

00:51:16.380 dating older men?

00:51:20.140 Why do you think

00:51:20.960 that is?

00:51:22.360 Do you think

00:51:23.160 it's because

00:51:23.860 of just money?

00:51:24.980 But that was always true.

00:51:27.280 It was always true

00:51:28.240 that older men 0.97

00:51:28.940 had money.

00:51:29.880 Why would it be

00:51:30.680 so much more now?

00:51:32.540 Because the money thing

00:51:33.380 is exactly the same

00:51:34.360 as the way it's been forever.

00:51:36.300 But why would they

00:51:37.100 be dating them now?

00:51:42.260 Well,

00:51:43.000 here are some theories

00:51:43.980 that the article had.

00:51:46.500 It said dating apps

00:51:47.480 are making it impossible

00:51:48.760 for anyone

00:51:49.380 but the best-looking

00:51:51.120 people to date.

00:51:52.220 So that's true.

00:51:52.900 And then porn

00:51:55.560 is mentioned

00:51:56.120 as something

00:51:56.760 that's draining off

00:51:57.980 the energy

00:51:58.460 of some of the men

00:51:59.440 so they have

00:52:00.460 something that's

00:52:02.220 keeping them

00:52:02.680 from dating.

00:52:04.720 I would add

00:52:05.740 a few more

00:52:06.460 speculative things.

00:52:08.980 A few more.

00:52:10.100 Number one,

00:52:12.580 men between 18 and 29

00:52:14.240 are captives

00:52:15.500 of women.

00:52:17.040 In other words,

00:52:18.360 the young men

00:52:19.120 are basically

00:52:19.980 woke bitches. 1.00

00:52:22.900 And women

00:52:23.420 want two things.

00:52:26.540 Number one,

00:52:27.200 they want their men 0.53

00:52:28.420 to do what they

00:52:29.300 want them to do.

00:52:30.500 Am I right?

00:52:31.560 Women want the men 1.00

00:52:32.820 to do what they

00:52:34.260 want them to do.

00:52:35.640 Number two thing

00:52:36.460 you need to know,

00:52:37.560 no woman 0.99

00:52:38.260 is attracted

00:52:39.080 to a man

00:52:39.700 who does what

00:52:40.400 she tells them to do.

00:52:43.520 There's your whole story.

00:52:45.320 That's your whole story.

00:52:46.980 The men

00:52:47.840 in that age group

00:52:49.520 have been hypnotized

00:52:50.680 into thinking

00:52:51.320 that doing what

00:52:52.860 women want them 1.00

00:52:53.600 to do

00:52:54.100 is their ticket

00:52:55.280 to being liked

00:52:55.980 by women. 0.78

00:52:57.480 Nope.

00:52:59.280 And do you know

00:52:59.960 what?

00:53:00.200 I believe that

00:53:00.960 at that age.

00:53:02.840 What is this age?

00:53:04.100 18 to 29.

00:53:05.580 Between the ages

00:53:06.380 of 18 to 29,

00:53:08.220 I believe that

00:53:09.160 my best strategy

00:53:10.160 with women

00:53:10.780 was to be as woke

00:53:12.520 as I could possibly be.

00:53:13.700 In fact,

00:53:15.040 my first relationship,

00:53:17.060 she used to brag 0.99

00:53:18.140 to other people

00:53:19.340 that her guy

00:53:21.540 was,

00:53:23.780 what word did she use? 0.91

00:53:26.460 Like,

00:53:27.540 something like

00:53:29.840 more open-minded

00:53:30.800 or, you know,

00:53:32.200 less sexist

00:53:33.100 or something.

00:53:33.980 So I tried to be

00:53:34.900 the least sexist

00:53:36.140 person I could be

00:53:37.120 because I thought,

00:53:38.660 well, that's what

00:53:39.620 society wants.

00:53:41.180 And let me tell you,

00:53:42.000 that's sure what

00:53:43.120 women want. 1.00

00:53:43.960 And how did I know

00:53:44.720 that women wanted it

00:53:45.620 at that age?

00:53:46.440 Well, that's what

00:53:46.840 they said.

00:53:48.240 When I did things

00:53:49.280 that were, you know,

00:53:50.260 clearly showing

00:53:51.940 that I was,

00:53:53.560 what was the word

00:53:54.320 we used?

00:53:55.260 Not metrosexual.

00:53:57.060 There was a word

00:53:58.020 that was like

00:53:58.480 a diabolical word

00:53:59.780 because you wanted

00:54:00.820 to be that.

00:54:01.560 It was like,

00:54:02.460 not open-minded,

00:54:03.680 but a word like that.

00:54:06.220 Not whipped.

00:54:07.020 Not chauvinist.

00:54:10.560 Not cock,

00:54:11.440 but good guess.

00:54:12.240 Enlightened.

00:54:12.960 Enlightened.

00:54:13.260 There it was.

00:54:15.480 That was the word

00:54:16.740 that hypnotized me

00:54:19.200 for years.

00:54:21.060 Yeah.

00:54:21.440 I was called

00:54:22.260 enlightened.

00:54:24.520 Enlightened

00:54:25.040 would mean

00:54:25.700 that I would

00:54:26.880 treat my woman 1.00

00:54:28.320 like a

00:54:29.860 proper man.

00:54:31.960 Yeah.

00:54:32.600 Because everybody's

00:54:33.260 the same.

00:54:34.240 So everybody,

00:54:34.720 you treat everybody

00:54:35.600 in an enlightened way.

00:54:37.020 And that is

00:54:38.100 your ticket

00:54:38.580 to, man,

00:54:40.540 you want to get

00:54:41.280 some sex, guys?

00:54:43.060 Be enlightened.

00:54:44.480 There's nothing

00:54:45.240 the ladies like 0.99

00:54:46.040 more than that.

00:54:47.220 Am I right?

00:54:48.680 I actually believed

00:54:49.920 that in my 20s.

00:54:52.240 And, you know,

00:54:53.420 there's this long

00:54:54.120 process of getting

00:54:55.240 red-pilled

00:54:55.940 where you start

00:54:58.120 thinking,

00:54:59.300 well,

00:55:00.240 the people

00:55:01.140 who are doing

00:55:01.580 well don't seem

00:55:02.780 to be doing this.

00:55:04.680 Was that a coincidence?

00:55:05.940 And pretty soon

00:55:07.620 the anecdotal

00:55:08.840 counter-evidence

00:55:10.320 becomes overwhelming.

00:55:12.260 And then

00:55:12.860 at some point

00:55:13.480 in your life

00:55:13.960 you decide

00:55:14.900 to try it.

00:55:16.760 You know what I mean?

00:55:18.140 What if I tried

00:55:19.380 being a little less

00:55:21.840 what they call

00:55:23.600 enlightened?

00:55:26.400 And then you realize

00:55:27.560 it works great.

00:55:29.980 And you say to yourself,

00:55:31.160 I don't know

00:55:32.320 what's going on now.

00:55:34.180 Why does treating

00:55:35.140 people poorly

00:55:36.260 work so well?

00:55:37.940 Well, maybe it's not

00:55:38.800 treating people poorly.

00:55:40.760 Maybe that's not

00:55:41.620 what's happening.

00:55:43.160 Maybe treating people

00:55:44.260 in their biological truth

00:55:46.040 is actually something

00:55:47.760 that has

00:55:49.400 a mating instinct

00:55:50.840 trigger.

00:55:52.480 Maybe it does.

00:55:53.840 Maybe acting like

00:55:54.820 somebody who could

00:55:55.500 protect you

00:55:56.340 is going to be

00:55:58.740 a bigger turn-on

00:55:59.600 than somebody

00:56:00.180 who understands you.

00:56:02.980 All right,

00:56:03.580 you've got two choices,

00:56:04.600 ladies. 0.75

00:56:05.980 You can have somebody

00:56:06.740 who protects you

00:56:07.500 or somebody

00:56:08.060 who understands

00:56:08.840 and listens to your

00:56:10.020 feelings

00:56:11.900 as much as possible.

00:56:14.800 Yeah.

00:56:15.320 Of course,

00:56:16.240 women lie. 1.00

00:56:18.180 You know,

00:56:18.440 men lie too,

00:56:19.060 of course.

00:56:19.280 But women lie 1.00

00:56:20.340 and they tell you

00:56:21.120 that what they want 0.62

00:56:21.940 is an enlightened guy

00:56:23.860 who understands

00:56:25.080 the wokeness

00:56:25.920 and can march

00:56:27.700 with them

00:56:28.160 and paint their hair

00:56:29.200 green

00:56:29.560 and be a proper lady

00:56:31.540 just like they are.

00:56:32.520 That's what they're

00:56:33.020 looking for.

00:56:33.560 That turns them on.

00:56:35.480 No,

00:56:35.780 I think that

00:56:36.400 there's an entire

00:56:37.220 generation

00:56:37.820 who have been

00:56:38.740 turned into women 0.95

00:56:39.780 and the women say,

00:56:41.480 all right,

00:56:42.380 the job is done.

00:56:43.380 We've turned these

00:56:44.000 young men

00:56:44.440 into proper women. 0.92

00:56:46.000 We're not interested

00:56:46.860 in them,

00:56:47.280 of course.

00:56:48.100 But I've noticed

00:56:48.800 this older guy

00:56:49.600 who seems to be

00:56:50.260 killing it.

00:56:52.240 That's what's happening.

00:56:53.860 Now,

00:56:54.480 I have an anecdotal

00:56:56.320 experience

00:56:57.040 that I never believed

00:56:59.160 was worthy

00:57:00.640 of sharing

00:57:01.200 because it's just

00:57:02.540 so specific

00:57:03.500 and anecdotal.

00:57:04.740 It goes like this.

00:57:07.900 I've been more

00:57:08.880 attractive to women 0.99

00:57:09.800 every year I've aged,

00:57:11.780 including now.

00:57:15.340 Explain that.

00:57:16.740 Now,

00:57:17.040 I've been rich

00:57:17.720 for 25 years.

00:57:19.600 So if you're saying,

00:57:20.320 well,

00:57:20.440 it's because you got richer,

00:57:21.860 I would say,

00:57:22.700 no,

00:57:22.940 I did not get richer.

00:57:24.540 In fact,

00:57:25.320 it's probably about

00:57:25.880 the same as it was

00:57:26.580 25 years ago.

00:57:28.780 It had nothing

00:57:29.640 to do with that.

00:57:31.740 It had everything

00:57:32.720 to do with the fact

00:57:33.660 that I just stopped

00:57:35.740 caring about

00:57:36.840 ridiculous things

00:57:37.940 and just started

00:57:39.140 acting more

00:57:40.120 according to my nature,

00:57:42.140 I guess.

00:57:43.240 So you're seeing now

00:57:44.660 probably the most

00:57:46.000 accurate representation

00:57:47.260 of who I am,

00:57:48.680 as scary as that

00:57:50.140 might be.

00:57:50.680 And believe me,

00:57:53.660 men,

00:57:54.060 I think you can

00:57:54.840 concur

00:57:56.020 that if men

00:57:57.720 act honest,

00:57:58.640 it's scary.

00:58:00.540 True or false?

00:58:01.680 If men are just honest,

00:58:03.500 just honest,

00:58:04.140 they just represent

00:58:05.480 their biological nature

00:58:07.980 as best they can,

00:58:08.900 yeah,

00:58:09.100 we're scary.

00:58:10.520 There's a reason

00:58:11.300 that society

00:58:12.140 puts a lot of pressure

00:58:14.440 on keeping us

00:58:16.200 under tap.

00:58:17.340 We're just scary people.

00:58:21.600 Yeah.

00:58:23.360 So I don't think

00:58:24.260 there's too much mystery

00:58:25.160 to this millennial man

00:58:26.460 giving up on dating.

00:58:27.940 The women turned them 1.00

00:58:28.980 into women,

00:58:29.620 then the women 0.98

00:58:30.100 looked for men.

00:58:32.460 That's the whole story.

00:58:34.180 The women turned 1.00

00:58:34.940 the people their age

00:58:36.220 into women,

00:58:37.620 were no longer attracted,

00:58:39.580 and then went and found

00:58:41.220 some older men

00:58:42.180 who still acted

00:58:44.940 like something

00:58:46.120 like a biological man.

00:58:48.920 I see no disagreement

00:58:50.260 in this audience.

00:58:52.880 Almost everything

00:58:53.840 I say

00:58:54.300 has somebody

00:58:54.920 disagreeing,

00:58:55.780 and I just got

00:58:56.720 complete agreement.

00:58:57.540 I don't see

00:58:58.760 a single person

00:58:59.520 disagreeing.

00:59:03.920 Older men 0.99

00:59:04.560 know how to be kinder.

00:59:07.180 I don't know

00:59:07.860 if kindness

00:59:08.540 is a variable.

00:59:11.200 Now, Nathan,

00:59:12.560 I always had money

00:59:14.180 for 25 years,

00:59:16.240 but it's different.

00:59:19.340 There's clearly

00:59:20.300 a preference

00:59:23.040 for men

00:59:23.980 who are

00:59:24.520 more biologically

00:59:26.480 true to their nature.

00:59:28.760 That's the best way

00:59:29.560 I can talk about it,

00:59:31.000 I guess.

00:59:32.440 You say,

00:59:33.080 older men

00:59:33.520 seem more confident.

00:59:36.700 You should have

00:59:37.520 met me at 25.

00:59:39.380 Let me

00:59:39.880 challenge that belief.

00:59:43.300 If you believe

00:59:44.200 that my current self

00:59:45.320 is confident

00:59:47.300 because I'm older

00:59:48.160 or something,

00:59:49.380 you had no idea

00:59:50.480 what I was like

00:59:51.080 at 19.

00:59:52.740 If you met me

00:59:53.340 at 19,

00:59:53.900 I did not

00:59:58.120 lack confidence

00:59:59.180 at any time

01:00:00.000 in my life.

01:00:01.280 That's never

01:00:01.940 been a thing.

01:00:04.120 I did not

01:00:05.000 become confident

01:00:05.800 because I succeeded.

01:00:07.360 I was exactly

01:00:08.620 the same.

01:00:09.760 Exactly the same.

01:00:11.180 I just thought

01:00:11.820 I would succeed.

01:00:12.880 I didn't know how.

01:00:14.240 Yeah.

01:00:14.860 But if you're confident

01:00:16.280 and you haven't

01:00:17.000 actually succeeded,

01:00:18.740 then people say

01:00:19.520 you're cocky,

01:00:20.680 you're arrogant,

01:00:22.720 you're all

01:00:23.100 those things,

01:00:23.660 but I'm exactly

01:00:24.760 the same.

01:00:25.980 I have learned

01:00:26.920 that if you

01:00:27.800 actually succeed,

01:00:29.480 you have to dial it down.

01:00:31.320 It took me a while

01:00:31.940 to learn that,

01:00:32.480 by the way,

01:00:33.340 because I took

01:00:33.900 my youthful confidence

01:00:36.360 into my successful years

01:00:39.300 and it was

01:00:40.280 a terrible match

01:00:41.260 because I realized

01:00:43.000 that my sort of

01:00:44.040 cocky

01:00:45.200 presentation

01:00:47.120 of who I was,

01:00:49.400 as soon as you

01:00:50.380 actually succeed,

01:00:51.420 it's really

01:00:52.360 a turn off.

01:00:54.520 Like you have to

01:00:55.060 dial it way down

01:00:55.900 to, okay,

01:00:56.640 I'm just living

01:00:57.220 my life.

01:00:58.040 If you notice

01:00:58.840 I'm successful,

01:00:59.660 that's great,

01:01:00.540 but me,

01:01:01.040 I'm just living

01:01:01.520 my life now.

01:01:03.020 And then people

01:01:03.740 accept that

01:01:04.520 much better.

01:01:05.580 But I really

01:01:06.620 had to turn down

01:01:07.320 the cockiness

01:01:07.940 because I believed

01:01:11.440 I would succeed.

01:01:13.380 It was more

01:01:13.960 than belief.

01:01:14.760 I just,

01:01:15.880 you know,

01:01:16.140 in retrospect,

01:01:17.040 you could say,

01:01:17.580 I knew it,

01:01:18.300 but I didn't really

01:01:18.880 know it.

01:01:19.740 I just assumed it.

01:01:23.140 So,

01:01:23.780 anyway,

01:01:25.880 that,

01:01:28.460 ladies and gentlemen,

01:01:29.900 is what I wanted

01:01:30.580 to talk about.

01:01:31.240 Was there something,

01:01:31.980 I think I reminded

01:01:32.780 the locals people

01:01:34.280 on a separate thing,

01:01:36.100 there was something

01:01:36.640 I wanted to talk about

01:01:37.760 and you reminded me

01:01:38.720 last night

01:01:39.220 in the man cave.

01:01:41.380 Oh,

01:01:41.680 yes.

01:01:42.700 But I think

01:01:43.160 I mentioned this.

01:01:44.480 You're reminding me

01:01:45.340 to mention something

01:01:46.000 that I mentioned.

01:01:46.900 See if I did.

01:01:47.420 All right.

01:01:48.200 YouTube,

01:01:48.740 tell me if I already

01:01:49.340 mentioned this.

01:01:50.920 That Bill Maher

01:01:53.700 referred to,

01:01:55.740 yeah,

01:01:57.120 we're private.

01:01:58.080 That Bill Maher

01:01:58.800 referred to

01:02:00.000 DeSantis

01:02:00.940 as the tribute band.

01:02:04.580 Yeah,

01:02:05.040 I think I mentioned

01:02:05.620 it before,

01:02:06.040 right?

01:02:07.280 No?

01:02:07.980 Yes?

01:02:08.480 Well,

01:02:08.660 I'll just say it again.

01:02:10.400 Apparently,

01:02:10.960 I did mention it,

01:02:11.720 but I'm going to

01:02:12.060 just say it again.

01:02:13.020 That if you think

01:02:13.960 of DeSantis

01:02:14.480 as the tribute band

01:02:15.880 and you think

01:02:16.560 Trump is the real thing,

01:02:18.480 that is such a kill shot

01:02:20.000 that it ends

01:02:21.360 the primaries.

01:02:23.960 If Trump ever said

01:02:25.340 don't vote

01:02:26.000 for the tribute band,

01:02:28.320 it would just be

01:02:29.300 the end of it.

01:02:31.320 And by the way,

01:02:33.120 Trump would know that

01:02:34.140 the moment he heard it.

01:02:37.020 If anybody ever said

01:02:38.260 to Trump,

01:02:39.200 you know,

01:02:39.800 I would consider this.

01:02:41.660 just think about

01:02:43.760 DeSantis

01:02:44.520 as the tribute band.

01:02:46.160 You don't think

01:02:46.860 that Trump

01:02:47.280 would immediately

01:02:48.100 see the power

01:02:49.120 of that?

01:02:49.780 He would.

01:02:50.880 That's his sweet spot.

01:02:52.780 That's what he does well.

01:02:55.100 Yeah.

01:02:55.720 He's the tribute band.

01:02:59.680 All right,

01:03:00.340 so that alone

01:03:01.660 makes me think

01:03:02.440 that DeSantis

01:03:03.300 doesn't have a chance

01:03:04.260 because that play 0.61

01:03:07.720 would just be so strong

01:03:12.160 that I don't see

01:03:14.100 how he could get out

01:03:14.800 from under it.

01:03:17.860 Yeah.

01:03:20.220 There's a support rally

01:03:21.760 Tuesday at 3 p.m.

01:03:24.180 at Mar-a-Lago.

01:03:26.240 Oh, that's interesting.

01:03:27.340 That's the perfect place

01:03:28.480 to have a protest.

01:03:30.480 That's perfect.

01:03:31.620 Because if you,

01:03:32.300 oh, that's so perfect.

01:03:33.380 Let me just take a moment.

01:03:35.640 If we assume

01:03:36.680 that's going to happen,

01:03:38.280 a protest,

01:03:39.440 where would be

01:03:40.340 the perfect place

01:03:41.160 to do it?

01:03:42.380 The perfect place

01:03:43.660 would be at Mar-a-Lago.

01:03:45.360 It's the only place

01:03:46.420 somebody isn't going

01:03:47.200 to worry about violence

01:03:48.980 and nobody's going

01:03:50.400 to worry

01:03:50.840 that it turns

01:03:52.740 into something bad.

01:03:53.980 Well, that's just brilliant.

01:03:57.640 All right.

01:03:57.920 Whoever came up

01:03:58.860 with that,

01:04:00.240 A+.

01:04:00.700 A+.

01:04:02.480 That's good.

01:04:03.020 That's good stuff.

01:04:04.820 Brilliant.

01:04:07.120 All right.

01:04:10.480 Rob Reiner

01:04:11.300 already implies that.

01:04:16.320 Everyone gets

01:04:17.000 a Big Mac after?

01:04:20.240 All right.

01:04:22.000 Better do it early

01:04:22.920 in the morning?

01:04:23.540 Why is that?

01:04:24.200 Oh, because bad things

01:04:25.380 happen at night?

01:04:25.920 All right.

01:04:25.960 All right.

01:04:26.000 All right.

01:04:26.040 All right.

01:04:26.420 All right.

01:04:26.480 All right.

01:04:26.500 All right.

01:04:27.500 All right.

01:04:27.560 All right.

01:04:27.980 All right.

01:04:29.580 All right.

01:04:30.080 All right.

01:04:31.580 That's all for today,

01:04:35.720 YouTube.

01:04:36.480 I'm going to go talk

01:04:37.100 to the locals people

01:04:38.360 privately,

01:04:39.380 give them a little extra,

01:04:41.140 and I'll see you tomorrow.

01:04:42.620 All right.

01:04:42.760 All right.

01:04:43.060 All right.

01:04:43.120 All right.

01:04:43.760 All right.

01:04:43.960 All right.
