00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
00:00:05.380 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the finest experience of your life.
00:00:11.100 I don't know if... Oh, YouTube's even working.
00:00:13.940 And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that even ESG won't take you to,
00:00:20.800 all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stye,
00:00:24.480 and a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:27.180 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:31.700 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,
00:00:36.100 the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:38.680 It's called Simultaneous Sip.
00:00:47.140 Sublime.
00:00:51.080 Well, I'd like to start the day with a quiz.
00:00:55.080 A quiz. This is for those of you on YouTube.
00:01:00.080 What's the difference between an atmospheric river and Stormy Daniels?
00:01:04.640 An atmospheric river and Stormy Daniels.
00:01:07.980 The answer is one is wet and blows a lot, and the other is a lot of rain.
00:01:13.540 So, that's how we're starting the show.
00:01:20.540 Big question on the Fed rates.
00:01:22.780 So, I like to go directly from Stormy Daniels to Fed funds and interest rates.
00:01:28.200 I saw a tweet by Unusual Whales quoting somebody named Nick Timrose,
00:01:35.840 and he says that the Fed faces one of the toughest calls in years,
00:01:39.960 whether to raise the rates and fight inflation,
00:01:44.640 or take a timeout amid the most intense banking crisis since 2008.
00:01:49.380 All right, let me see.
00:01:51.120 If you fight the inflation first,
00:01:55.320 you destroy the banking system and we all die.
00:01:59.760 If you fight the...
00:02:02.100 If you lower the rates,
00:02:04.980 it'll make inflation, you know, still out of control,
00:02:08.680 but at least the banking system will survive.
00:02:11.340 So, we'll be alive to fight inflation in the future.
00:02:17.040 So, is that a hard decision?
00:02:21.140 Is it?
00:02:23.660 Here's my recommendation.
00:02:26.680 The tourniquet is always the right answer.
00:02:29.760 The tourniquet is always the right answer.
00:02:34.680 This one is...
00:02:35.780 It doesn't feel like a hard decision at all.
00:02:38.600 Does it?
00:02:39.100 Is there anybody who would argue
00:02:41.660 that we should risk the entire banking system,
00:02:44.060 which is teetering,
00:02:45.160 in order to buy us six months of
00:02:47.720 maybe a little less inflation, but maybe not?
00:02:52.920 No.
00:02:53.720 Does that really look like a hard decision?
00:02:56.240 I think they'll get it wrong.
00:02:59.100 You know, if I had to guess, they'll probably get it wrong.
00:03:01.820 But it's not a hard decision.
00:03:04.260 One is a media problem, and one is a long-term problem.
00:03:07.280 How is that not an obvious decision?
00:03:11.560 But I don't think they're going to make it.
00:03:13.720 You know, even Elon Musk is saying
00:03:16.180 they've got to lower the rates to save the banks.
00:03:19.980 So, I don't know.
00:03:21.260 I think we've left competence behind.
00:03:24.060 That will be the theme for today.
00:03:25.580 Tucker Carlson said on his show that
00:03:30.640 if the Democratic Party is allowed to take out
00:03:33.260 the presidential front-runner, meaning Trump,
00:03:36.640 who's the main threat to their power,
00:03:38.840 with this bogus criminal case, as he calls it,
00:03:42.100 and pretty much everybody calls it,
00:03:44.960 that precedent will live forever.
00:03:47.540 Voters will never determine the outcome of another election.
00:03:49.940 Well, I think that's hyperbole.
00:03:55.000 You know, I wouldn't say never.
00:03:57.240 But you could imagine how this would be a bad precedent,
00:04:00.660 so I think the point stands.
00:04:04.700 What do you think?
00:04:05.800 Do you think that this would be the end of the republic?
00:04:08.960 Or is it really just about Trump?
00:04:12.840 I don't know.
00:04:13.600 It could go either way.
00:04:14.560 I mean, it's really risky stuff.
00:04:15.840 But if they get away with taking Trump out on bogus charges,
00:04:20.320 then they can take anybody out for any reason.
00:04:24.540 Like, if you don't draw the line at bogus charges,
00:04:27.740 I mean, really, bogus charges?
00:04:31.420 We wouldn't draw the line there.
00:04:34.440 I'm pretty sure if you don't draw the line at bogus charges,
00:04:39.120 Tucker's right.
00:04:40.560 You won't draw the line at anything.
00:04:42.600 There won't be anything that you won't be willing to accept
00:04:44.900 if you accept this.
00:04:46.920 It's true.
00:04:47.900 Now, obviously, I'm not recommending
00:04:49.640 any kind of weird insurrections or anything.
00:04:53.040 But it's a good point.
00:04:56.220 If they can get away with bogus charges right in front of you,
00:05:00.100 charges that you know are bogus,
00:05:02.060 the Democrats know are bogus,
00:05:03.960 everybody would know is bogus.
00:05:05.640 If it works,
00:05:07.760 if this works,
00:05:09.740 why wouldn't they do it every year,
00:05:11.840 every election?
00:05:12.680 Just put all the other side in jail.
00:05:14.900 Just find some reason.
00:05:16.860 Just take your misdemeanors up to felonies.
00:05:20.240 Well, at this point,
00:05:21.380 I believe every legal expert has weighed in
00:05:23.540 and said the charges are bogus.
00:05:25.160 It's purely political.
00:05:27.120 It signals political in every possible way
00:05:29.720 you can signal it.
00:05:31.160 The people,
00:05:32.100 you know,
00:05:32.360 I mean,
00:05:32.640 there's just,
00:05:33.480 there's nothing left
00:05:34.760 to argument.
00:05:36.680 Everybody can see it's just political.
00:05:41.760 And the Democrats still like it.
00:05:43.640 They're still in favor of it.
00:05:46.000 Now,
00:05:46.780 I feel actually embarrassed
00:05:49.140 living in a country
00:05:50.760 where tens of millions of people
00:05:53.000 think that bogus charges
00:05:54.260 are perfectly acceptable.
00:05:56.400 Or they haven't looked into it
00:05:58.120 and they don't know that it's bogus.
00:05:59.700 I don't know.
00:06:00.080 Well,
00:06:03.800 let's say some more about this.
00:06:06.320 In my opinion,
00:06:07.300 Alvin Bragg,
00:06:08.260 who's the prosecutor
00:06:09.480 who's trying to get Trump,
00:06:11.660 he's taken DeSantis
00:06:12.760 out of the race,
00:06:13.520 hasn't he?
00:06:15.040 Is it my imagination
00:06:16.160 that all energy for DeSantis
00:06:18.080 just drained out of,
00:06:19.620 just like immediately?
00:06:21.980 There's just nothing left.
00:06:24.400 I mean,
00:06:24.580 DeSantis went from
00:06:25.760 the obvious next president
00:06:27.740 of the United States
00:06:28.800 or optimist,
00:06:30.840 thought so.
00:06:31.640 He went from,
00:06:32.340 oh yeah,
00:06:32.700 he's definitely going to be
00:06:33.420 the leader of the United States
00:06:35.080 to now he just looks like
00:06:36.820 the Fred Flintstone of Florida.
00:06:40.920 I didn't make that one up.
00:06:43.940 One of the locals' members
00:06:45.280 called him Fred Flintstone
00:06:46.480 and now I can't unsee it.
00:06:48.960 All I see is Fred Flintstone.
00:06:51.240 When I see DeSantis.
00:06:52.960 By the way,
00:06:53.760 as Bill Amar said,
00:06:55.020 nobody's going to want
00:06:55.800 the tribute band,
00:06:56.860 which is DeSantis,
00:06:58.360 if they could have
00:06:59.060 the real band,
00:07:00.520 which is Trump.
00:07:01.640 And the other thing
00:07:02.540 that this Alvin Bragg is doing
00:07:04.280 is essentially confirming
00:07:06.840 Trump's major message,
00:07:09.160 which is they're not after him,
00:07:11.880 they're after you,
00:07:12.540 but they have to get past him
00:07:14.560 to get to you.
00:07:15.680 Now, that's not literally true,
00:07:17.920 but it feels so true now.
00:07:19.680 Like, it just took on
00:07:21.540 the feeling of,
00:07:22.340 okay, that's just a fact.
00:07:23.720 They're trying to get him
00:07:24.720 out of the way
00:07:25.660 so they can get to you.
00:07:26.960 It does feel exactly like that.
00:07:29.760 Again, feelings being
00:07:31.180 the dominant thing here.
00:07:32.820 Facts, I don't know.
00:07:34.420 You know, you could argue
00:07:35.120 the facts,
00:07:36.300 but the feeling,
00:07:38.300 the feeling,
00:07:39.200 if you're going to read the room,
00:07:40.640 yeah, it feels exactly like
00:07:42.260 they're trying to get to us,
00:07:43.980 meaning anybody who had been
00:07:45.500 supportive of anything
00:07:47.060 the left doesn't like,
00:07:48.400 and it looks like he's in the way.
00:07:50.800 That's exactly what it looks like.
00:07:54.920 I don't think this could be
00:07:56.320 a more perfect situation
00:07:57.560 for Trump's comeback.
00:08:00.360 I feel like he's almost
00:08:01.720 immediately forgiven
00:08:03.000 for everything
00:08:03.700 because once you see
00:08:05.680 a bogus charge
00:08:07.160 trying to take him down,
00:08:09.140 you just immediately say,
00:08:10.520 wait a minute,
00:08:10.980 that could have been me.
00:08:13.020 Right?
00:08:13.160 Because you could have
00:08:14.240 easily been at the protest
00:08:15.940 and found yourself
00:08:17.040 still in jail
00:08:17.900 over basically nothing.
00:08:21.220 You know,
00:08:21.440 trespassing, I guess.
00:08:24.420 So it's so easy
00:08:26.040 to imagine myself
00:08:27.120 in jail
00:08:27.880 on trumped-up charges.
00:08:29.860 Trumped-up charges.
00:08:31.600 Did I mention
00:08:32.220 trumped-up charges?
00:08:34.660 Yeah,
00:08:35.020 because the charges
00:08:35.620 are trumped-up.
00:08:39.600 That's...
00:08:40.160 There he is.
00:08:43.160 Well,
00:08:46.800 apparently
00:08:47.240 Michael Cohen's
00:08:49.920 ex-lawyer,
00:08:51.080 this was the lawyer
00:08:52.140 for the lawyer
00:08:53.080 of Trump,
00:08:54.620 says that
00:08:55.680 Michael Cohen
00:08:56.300 is a huge liar
00:08:57.640 and he lied
00:08:58.780 hundreds of times.
00:09:00.340 He lied hundreds
00:09:01.620 of times
00:09:02.220 in his,
00:09:03.320 I don't know,
00:09:04.620 during the course
00:09:05.300 of his investigation
00:09:07.140 and trial and stuff.
00:09:08.520 Hundreds of times.
00:09:10.580 Hundreds.
00:09:10.940 I don't think
00:09:13.680 I could lie
00:09:14.140 hundreds of times
00:09:15.140 if I made it
00:09:17.020 my job.
00:09:18.660 I'd be like,
00:09:19.760 what am I going to
00:09:20.520 lie about now?
00:09:22.720 I don't know.
00:09:24.500 Sky is pink.
00:09:27.200 Like,
00:09:27.520 it would take me
00:09:28.060 all day
00:09:28.460 to make up
00:09:29.200 hundreds of lies.
00:09:30.840 I mean,
00:09:31.280 but Michael Cohen
00:09:31.940 apparently,
00:09:32.800 according to his lawyer,
00:09:34.380 ex-lawyer,
00:09:35.660 is the least
00:09:36.760 credible person
00:09:37.700 who's ever,
00:09:38.840 who's ever
00:09:40.340 have human DNA.
00:09:43.560 So,
00:09:44.360 basically,
00:09:45.000 the charges
00:09:45.640 against Trump
00:09:46.520 will largely depend
00:09:48.180 on the biggest
00:09:50.800 liar in the world,
00:09:52.660 which is being pushed
00:09:55.660 by a political
00:09:56.580 DA
00:09:56.840 who said
00:09:57.960 he was running
00:09:58.500 to get Trump
00:09:59.240 and then
00:10:00.700 had to make up
00:10:01.400 some charges
00:10:02.000 that everybody else
00:10:02.960 who had any conscience
00:10:04.220 whatsoever said,
00:10:05.080 there's nothing there,
00:10:06.600 and then put them together
00:10:07.480 and turn them
00:10:07.920 into a felony.
00:10:09.080 It's sort of
00:10:09.620 the perfect situation
00:10:10.760 for Trump.
00:10:11.860 It's just perfect.
00:10:13.900 So,
00:10:14.280 DeSantis,
00:10:14.940 by not giving
00:10:16.540 a full-throated
00:10:17.820 defense
00:10:19.460 of Trump
00:10:20.380 against
00:10:21.040 trumped-up charges,
00:10:23.100 makes him
00:10:23.760 look weak.
00:10:24.340 doesn't it?
00:10:26.880 Just makes him
00:10:27.400 look weak.
00:10:28.420 And you don't
00:10:29.080 want to look weak
00:10:29.880 if you're competing
00:10:30.900 against Trump
00:10:31.720 because the one
00:10:32.780 thing Trump
00:10:33.400 doesn't look
00:10:34.340 is weak.
00:10:37.220 Say what you will
00:10:38.480 about any other
00:10:39.680 parts of his
00:10:40.380 record
00:10:42.020 or his character
00:10:42.920 or anything else,
00:10:44.140 but he's not weak.
00:10:45.540 He's not weak.
00:10:47.020 I mean,
00:10:47.240 he didn't even
00:10:47.720 get taken down
00:10:48.460 by January 6th,
00:10:50.040 which is remarkable
00:10:51.340 if you think about it.
00:10:54.340 Yes,
00:10:55.060 and I think
00:10:55.920 Stormy Daniels
00:10:56.780 is giving a
00:10:57.440 full-throated
00:10:58.180 Oh,
00:11:00.080 that's another story.
00:11:01.140 Sorry,
00:11:01.540 I just got
00:11:03.240 sidetracked there.
00:11:05.300 So,
00:11:06.320 here's why
00:11:07.320 legalizing drugs
00:11:08.520 won't work.
00:11:10.720 I really
00:11:12.160 felt good
00:11:12.900 about
00:11:13.220 there was one
00:11:14.280 experiment
00:11:14.760 in Canada
00:11:15.540 where they're
00:11:16.580 going to give
00:11:16.920 free fentanyl
00:11:17.840 out to addicts.
00:11:19.220 You had to have
00:11:20.020 a prescription,
00:11:21.080 but it was free
00:11:22.740 and it was legal.
00:11:25.300 If you've ever
00:11:26.220 met an addict,
00:11:28.260 and I'm happy
00:11:28.960 to say I've
00:11:29.700 known more
00:11:30.860 than a few,
00:11:32.260 here's why
00:11:33.120 this isn't
00:11:33.660 going to work.
00:11:34.980 Turns out
00:11:35.600 that the biggest
00:11:36.360 new thing
00:11:37.000 is mixing
00:11:37.720 fentanyl
00:11:38.380 with some kind
00:11:38.940 of horse
00:11:39.260 tranquilizer
00:11:40.000 called the
00:11:42.860 xylazine.
00:11:43.820 It's not even
00:11:44.620 legal for humans,
00:11:46.460 but the addicts
00:11:47.500 have figured out
00:11:48.020 how to mix it
00:11:48.560 with the fentanyl
00:11:49.380 to get you
00:11:50.720 a longer
00:11:51.640 high,
00:11:53.180 which is also
00:11:54.120 much more
00:11:54.700 dangerous.
00:11:55.660 The likelihood
00:11:56.100 of it killing
00:11:56.700 you is way
00:11:57.280 up.
00:11:58.480 So,
00:11:58.760 even if,
00:11:59.960 here's how
00:12:00.880 to understand
00:12:01.520 an addict.
00:12:03.600 If you said,
00:12:04.500 hey addict,
00:12:05.180 I got some
00:12:05.600 free fentanyl,
00:12:06.500 do you want
00:12:06.820 some?
00:12:08.180 They'd say,
00:12:09.640 yeah,
00:12:10.120 that would be
00:12:10.580 safer,
00:12:11.120 because it's
00:12:11.460 monitored and
00:12:12.420 everything.
00:12:13.160 So,
00:12:13.420 they'll take
00:12:13.800 your free
00:12:14.340 fentanyl,
00:12:14.840 and then
00:12:16.120 they'll mix
00:12:16.540 it with
00:12:16.800 their horse
00:12:17.140 tranquilizers
00:12:17.860 and die.
00:12:20.440 Or,
00:12:21.060 if you say,
00:12:21.900 hey,
00:12:22.140 you can have
00:12:22.460 this fentanyl,
00:12:23.180 they're going
00:12:23.460 to say,
00:12:24.220 I really like
00:12:25.220 the fentanyl
00:12:25.740 that's mixed
00:12:26.200 with horse
00:12:26.700 tranquilizers.
00:12:28.380 Well,
00:12:28.880 that's way
00:12:29.320 more dangerous.
00:12:30.600 Yeah,
00:12:31.320 yeah it is,
00:12:32.260 but it's a
00:12:32.780 way better
00:12:33.180 high.
00:12:34.040 But it's
00:12:34.660 way,
00:12:35.140 way more
00:12:35.480 dangerous.
00:12:36.800 Yeah,
00:12:37.400 yeah,
00:12:38.360 but did you
00:12:38.860 hear the part
00:12:39.340 about it's
00:12:39.740 a better
00:12:40.000 high?
00:12:40.820 But,
00:12:41.320 it's like
00:12:41.700 100 times
00:12:42.380 more dangerous
00:12:43.020 for like
00:12:44.180 20%
00:12:44.820 better
00:12:45.100 high.
00:12:46.300 Yeah,
00:12:47.240 but did you
00:12:48.080 hear the
00:12:48.380 part about
00:12:48.760 it's a
00:12:49.060 better
00:12:49.260 high?
00:12:51.020 That's an
00:12:51.660 addict.
00:12:52.760 That's all
00:12:53.400 the addict
00:12:53.700 cares about.
00:12:55.240 And,
00:12:55.720 as long as
00:12:57.080 there's stuff
00:12:57.540 you can add
00:12:58.260 to it,
00:12:59.200 to make it,
00:13:00.140 you know,
00:13:01.060 according to
00:13:01.600 an addict,
00:13:02.120 more powerful,
00:13:03.260 I don't think
00:13:04.120 you can give
00:13:04.600 the free
00:13:05.020 stuff away
00:13:05.600 and convince
00:13:07.720 them to do
00:13:08.460 free stuff
00:13:09.280 if it's not
00:13:10.320 as good
00:13:11.280 as the
00:13:12.600 illegal stuff.
00:13:13.320 and you
00:13:14.400 can't
00:13:14.700 legally give
00:13:15.440 away
00:13:15.760 fentanyl
00:13:16.960 mixed with
00:13:17.500 horse
00:13:17.740 tranquilizer.
00:13:19.300 There's no
00:13:19.980 scenario in
00:13:21.180 which that
00:13:21.580 will ever
00:13:22.080 be legal.
00:13:23.560 So you
00:13:23.840 just can't
00:13:24.280 compete.
00:13:24.860 You can't
00:13:25.380 compete with
00:13:25.840 illegal.
00:13:26.380 It's just
00:13:26.720 too good.
00:13:29.240 So I
00:13:29.940 didn't see
00:13:30.240 that coming,
00:13:30.800 but apparently
00:13:31.180 the law
00:13:32.040 enforcement
00:13:32.420 is saying
00:13:32.800 that this
00:13:33.300 mixture of
00:13:34.640 tranquilizer
00:13:35.420 with fentanyl
00:13:36.220 is the
00:13:36.780 new thing.
00:13:37.940 They found
00:13:38.420 it in almost
00:13:38.960 every state
00:13:39.520 so far.
00:13:40.140 It's growing.
00:13:40.600 Well,
00:13:42.080 let's talk
00:13:42.440 about Joe
00:13:42.920 Biden and
00:13:43.320 his crime
00:13:43.700 family.
00:13:46.160 Here's the
00:13:46.880 thing that I
00:13:47.480 keep thinking
00:13:48.240 about ESG,
00:13:50.200 which is
00:13:50.820 environmental,
00:13:52.960 social,
00:13:53.700 and governance.
00:13:55.300 So the
00:13:56.700 first thing
00:13:57.160 you need to
00:13:57.520 know about
00:13:57.880 ESG is
00:13:58.760 that it
00:13:59.040 combines
00:13:59.620 things which
00:14:00.980 don't seem
00:14:01.540 to be
00:14:02.080 related.
00:14:04.680 Some kind
00:14:05.480 of diversity
00:14:06.200 requirement,
00:14:07.980 you know,
00:14:08.180 social and
00:14:08.880 governance,
00:14:09.300 getting a
00:14:10.140 lot of
00:14:10.380 diversity in
00:14:10.960 your management
00:14:11.460 and in
00:14:11.940 your employees.
00:14:14.280 And then
00:14:14.580 the other
00:14:14.980 thing is
00:14:15.520 the environment,
00:14:16.980 you know,
00:14:17.160 climate change
00:14:17.840 stuff.
00:14:19.040 And those
00:14:19.560 two things
00:14:20.080 are just
00:14:20.820 two different
00:14:21.320 things.
00:14:22.600 If an
00:14:23.560 outside
00:14:23.940 organization
00:14:24.720 were pushing
00:14:26.160 for one
00:14:26.740 thing,
00:14:27.480 let's say
00:14:27.880 either only
00:14:28.640 diversity
00:14:29.120 or only
00:14:31.020 climate stuff,
00:14:32.100 you could
00:14:32.740 understand that,
00:14:33.600 right?
00:14:34.480 You could
00:14:34.780 understand that.
00:14:36.100 Oh,
00:14:36.500 somebody has
00:14:37.160 a special
00:14:37.740 interest and
00:14:38.300 they're pushing
00:14:38.980 people to
00:14:39.440 do it.
00:14:39.960 Sort of
00:14:40.300 the American
00:14:40.720 system.
00:14:41.480 I wouldn't
00:14:41.860 complain about
00:14:42.400 it at all.
00:14:43.280 But the
00:14:43.700 moment you
00:14:44.220 combine two
00:14:44.960 things that
00:14:45.740 are unrelated,
00:14:47.480 diversity and
00:14:49.360 climate, and
00:14:50.860 then you turn
00:14:51.400 it into a
00:14:51.880 three-letter
00:14:52.360 acronym, how
00:14:54.440 much of the
00:14:55.180 public in
00:14:55.980 general understands
00:14:56.960 what ESG is?
00:14:58.340 If you were to
00:14:58.760 go in the
00:14:59.120 street, away
00:15:00.360 from, you
00:15:01.180 know, most of
00:15:01.920 your political
00:15:02.720 followers, so
00:15:05.320 you know what it
00:15:05.920 is because you've
00:15:06.620 talked about it,
00:15:07.320 but maybe
00:15:08.140 5%, 10%
00:15:10.160 of the public?
00:15:11.340 What's your
00:15:11.680 best guess of
00:15:12.860 how many could
00:15:13.440 define ESG and
00:15:15.400 tell you what's
00:15:15.900 good about it and
00:15:16.720 bad about it?
00:15:18.840 Maybe 25% if
00:15:20.860 it's in the
00:15:23.160 corporate world so
00:15:24.280 much that
00:15:25.080 everybody's seen
00:15:25.640 it at their
00:15:26.240 job?
00:15:27.240 So I don't
00:15:27.780 know the extent
00:15:28.360 to which people
00:15:28.980 in a corporate
00:15:29.620 environment are
00:15:30.520 just exposed to
00:15:31.440 it.
00:15:31.620 But I'm
00:15:32.760 going to say
00:15:33.320 less than 20%
00:15:35.120 even know what
00:15:36.740 it is.
00:15:38.320 So you've got
00:15:39.080 this perfect
00:15:39.820 storm of a
00:15:41.320 thing that the
00:15:41.860 public doesn't
00:15:42.520 understand, but
00:15:44.100 when they do
00:15:44.600 hear about it, it
00:15:45.340 sounds like good
00:15:46.020 stuff.
00:15:47.280 Diversity?
00:15:48.020 Oh, I like
00:15:48.720 diversity.
00:15:50.280 Environment?
00:15:51.220 Yeah, what's
00:15:51.660 wrong with that?
00:15:52.260 How is that even
00:15:52.800 different?
00:15:53.620 Having companies
00:15:54.500 always had to meet
00:15:55.740 environmental standards?
00:15:57.020 It's no different.
00:15:58.180 If you didn't
00:15:58.760 know much about
00:15:59.640 it, it would
00:16:00.780 sound good.
00:16:02.240 So then when you
00:16:03.160 found out that the
00:16:04.080 president vetoed a
00:16:05.760 bill that would
00:16:07.000 make it illegal to
00:16:07.960 put your retirement
00:16:08.940 in ESG-focused
00:16:11.860 companies, you'd
00:16:13.640 say, oh, well,
00:16:14.580 that's probably a
00:16:15.160 good veto because
00:16:16.580 we like diversity,
00:16:17.720 we like the
00:16:18.200 environment.
00:16:19.360 You don't want
00:16:19.880 anybody, you don't
00:16:20.700 want those mean
00:16:21.300 Republicans to tell
00:16:22.920 you you can't have
00:16:23.660 any diversity and
00:16:24.440 you can't have a
00:16:24.960 good environment.
00:16:26.160 So it's a good
00:16:27.420 thing that Biden
00:16:28.740 got rid of it.
00:16:30.740 Here's my take.
00:16:33.080 ESG is so
00:16:34.440 obviously destructive,
00:16:36.960 like really super
00:16:38.060 obviously, it's not
00:16:39.780 really a question of
00:16:40.920 opinion.
00:16:42.300 I don't believe
00:16:43.400 there's any serious
00:16:45.140 business person,
00:16:46.460 unless they're
00:16:47.060 profiting by selling
00:16:48.480 ESG, but there's
00:16:50.460 nobody who's not
00:16:51.300 directly profiting from
00:16:52.720 ESG who would tell
00:16:54.700 you it's a good
00:16:55.300 idea.
00:16:56.840 Nobody.
00:16:57.220 You're not going
00:16:58.520 to get Warren
00:16:59.220 Buffett to say it's
00:17:00.020 a good idea, are
00:17:01.500 you?
00:17:02.380 Now, he might say I
00:17:03.480 like diversity, he
00:17:04.580 might say we should
00:17:05.440 do things about
00:17:06.000 climate change, but
00:17:07.240 if you tell him,
00:17:08.280 Warren, I like the
00:17:09.760 companies that you
00:17:10.560 own and have
00:17:11.340 invested in, I'd
00:17:13.580 like them to take
00:17:14.260 their eye off of
00:17:15.220 profitability and
00:17:17.320 focus more on these
00:17:18.760 things that they're
00:17:19.420 really going to get
00:17:20.020 measured on, which
00:17:21.500 is the environment,
00:17:23.580 what have you done
00:17:24.240 for climate change,
00:17:25.140 and what have you
00:17:26.020 done for diversity.
00:17:28.280 Do you think
00:17:28.680 Warren Buffett
00:17:29.240 would say, yeah,
00:17:30.680 that's the focus I
00:17:31.880 want the companies
00:17:32.520 I've invested in?
00:17:33.800 And remember,
00:17:34.360 Warren Buffett is a
00:17:35.140 Democrat.
00:17:36.860 As far as I know,
00:17:37.860 I think he's a
00:17:38.340 Democrat.
00:17:38.660 He might be
00:17:39.020 independent, but he
00:17:40.220 leans that way.
00:17:41.280 No, you wouldn't
00:17:41.880 get anybody in
00:17:42.780 business to say it's
00:17:43.620 a good idea.
00:17:44.740 Now, why is it
00:17:45.600 that the president
00:17:46.380 just vetoed
00:17:48.260 something that is
00:17:49.640 so obviously a bad
00:17:50.940 idea?
00:17:52.560 It's a bad idea
00:17:53.440 to veto it.
00:17:54.220 Why?
00:17:56.200 Well, I can't
00:17:58.800 even imagine that
00:17:59.600 ESG is coming
00:18:01.360 from inside the
00:18:02.780 country.
00:18:05.280 Now, here's the
00:18:06.520 problem with
00:18:07.040 perception.
00:18:08.760 Yeah.
00:18:09.400 If you were to
00:18:10.260 say, who is more
00:18:11.280 likely behind pushing
00:18:12.500 ESG?
00:18:13.680 Somebody who's
00:18:14.740 within the United
00:18:15.860 States who cares
00:18:16.700 about America,
00:18:17.720 or somebody outside
00:18:19.420 the country who
00:18:20.100 wants to destroy
00:18:20.940 America?
00:18:21.400 America, clearly
00:18:23.200 ESG would destroy
00:18:25.260 America.
00:18:26.460 Because there's
00:18:27.160 nobody who would
00:18:27.680 make the argument
00:18:28.300 that you should
00:18:29.400 give up merit for
00:18:30.340 equity, or merit
00:18:32.680 for diversity.
00:18:34.400 Nobody would make
00:18:35.280 that argument.
00:18:36.640 So you know it's
00:18:37.480 not coming from
00:18:38.080 anybody smart, or
00:18:40.200 it's not coming from
00:18:41.080 somewhere within
00:18:41.880 America.
00:18:43.880 Even though America
00:18:44.860 likes diversity and
00:18:46.040 likes doing stuff for
00:18:48.280 climate change, they
00:18:49.420 wouldn't make that a
00:18:50.240 requirement of a
00:18:51.160 company, and then
00:18:52.940 have them take their
00:18:53.680 ball off for
00:18:54.240 profitability, because
00:18:55.800 it's obvious that
00:18:56.620 will destroy
00:18:57.140 civilization.
00:18:59.060 It would destroy
00:19:00.140 civilization.
00:19:01.940 The entire
00:19:02.460 civilization is built
00:19:03.800 on incentives.
00:19:05.940 There's no country
00:19:06.940 that's thrived
00:19:07.620 without incentives.
00:19:09.780 As soon as you
00:19:10.640 try to say, all
00:19:11.420 right, everybody's
00:19:11.980 paid the same no
00:19:12.660 matter how hard you
00:19:13.420 work, that's the
00:19:15.780 end of your country.
00:19:16.740 It hasn't worked
00:19:17.320 anywhere ever in the
00:19:18.340 history of the world.
00:19:19.400 So I can't imagine
00:19:20.360 that any smart
00:19:21.560 American who cared
00:19:23.360 about America would
00:19:24.740 be promoting ESG.
00:19:26.780 It does make sense
00:19:27.660 that grifters are
00:19:28.520 doing it, because
00:19:29.060 that's what grifters
00:19:29.840 do.
00:19:31.000 It does make sense
00:19:32.060 that people have to
00:19:32.760 say they support it
00:19:33.600 in public, because
00:19:35.180 they'll sound like bad
00:19:36.160 people if they don't.
00:19:37.640 So it does make sense
00:19:38.680 that people say things
00:19:39.680 in public that are
00:19:41.100 opposite of what they
00:19:41.940 believe.
00:19:43.340 And it does make
00:19:44.360 sense that the people
00:19:45.120 who get paid for it
00:19:45.860 are pushing.
00:19:46.180 And then everybody
00:19:47.700 else sort of has
00:19:48.340 to go along, because
00:19:49.300 you look like a bad
00:19:50.100 person if you don't.
00:19:52.100 But I feel like the
00:19:54.220 connection between the
00:19:55.680 Biden crime family and
00:19:57.940 Chinese payments,
00:19:59.560 remember that Chinese
00:20:00.480 payment to the Bidens?
00:20:03.100 There was actually
00:20:03.960 called a, by the
00:20:05.160 lawyer for the
00:20:05.880 Biden, Hunter Biden,
00:20:06.800 I think, called it a
00:20:09.580 goodwill seed payment,
00:20:12.140 which is a direct way
00:20:14.180 to say it's not
00:20:14.900 related to anything
00:20:17.900 that's been offered.
00:20:19.300 Yeah, we're private.
00:20:21.700 So, under those
00:20:23.860 conditions, do you
00:20:26.440 think that Joe Biden
00:20:27.680 can make decisions
00:20:28.900 that are good for
00:20:29.580 America, or does he
00:20:30.960 kind of have to do
00:20:31.800 things that sometimes
00:20:33.640 are good for China,
00:20:35.180 because China knows
00:20:36.160 too much about his
00:20:37.160 activities?
00:20:38.820 I feel like you can't
00:20:40.240 trust Joe Biden to be
00:20:42.980 independent from China.
00:20:44.900 because they know
00:20:46.760 what they did or did
00:20:47.760 not bribe them, and
00:20:49.100 they know that they
00:20:49.860 could just tell you.
00:20:51.640 I mean, China has the
00:20:52.820 goods on the Biden
00:20:53.580 family for sure.
00:20:55.300 For sure they do.
00:20:56.740 Now, I'm not saying
00:20:57.460 that's why Biden did it.
00:20:59.180 It might just be, you
00:21:00.360 know, a Democrat thing.
00:21:01.200 He just needs to serve
00:21:02.520 his party, which would
00:21:04.260 be plenty good enough
00:21:05.200 reason politically.
00:21:05.960 But the fact that it
00:21:08.620 doesn't even look like
00:21:09.720 something that was
00:21:10.780 generated internally, the
00:21:12.500 ESG, it looks like an
00:21:14.420 enemy operation.
00:21:16.240 It looks exactly like
00:21:17.620 enemies have tried to
00:21:19.640 insert it into our
00:21:20.860 system to destroy it.
00:21:22.500 ESG is literally a
00:21:23.600 virus to capitalism.
00:21:26.600 Let's say it that way.
00:21:28.320 ESG is like a virus to
00:21:30.820 capitalism.
00:21:31.900 Capitalism can't survive
00:21:33.080 it.
00:21:33.380 Because as soon as you
00:21:34.740 take the core of
00:21:35.560 capitalism out, which is
00:21:36.880 merit, you know, you
00:21:38.940 only get what you work
00:21:39.800 for or what you're
00:21:40.560 providing, as soon as
00:21:42.740 that's not your focus,
00:21:43.780 it's the end of
00:21:44.360 capitalism.
00:21:45.240 There's no way around
00:21:46.200 that, by the way.
00:21:48.240 There's no way around
00:21:49.020 it.
00:21:49.740 Yeah, it's more like a
00:21:50.540 virus than a cancer.
00:21:52.620 Similar, but I like
00:21:54.020 virus because it's, you
00:21:55.360 know, it's more au
00:21:57.080 courant, as they like
00:21:58.480 to say.
00:21:58.820 So, the fact that the
00:22:04.300 public doesn't know what
00:22:05.060 ESG is, because it's
00:22:06.260 mixing things that don't
00:22:07.460 make sense, and it's an
00:22:09.040 acronym, and we don't all
00:22:10.260 work for corporate
00:22:10.880 America, that allows
00:22:12.840 Biden to get away with
00:22:15.040 doing anything, because
00:22:16.540 the public doesn't know
00:22:17.380 it just sounds good.
00:22:19.260 And the fact that what
00:22:20.500 he's doing is really good
00:22:21.800 for China, because it
00:22:23.000 hurts America, I just
00:22:25.720 don't think you can have
00:22:26.720 a guy in office who's so
00:22:28.360 clearly related to
00:22:29.680 Chinese money, when
00:22:31.200 you're doing something
00:22:31.960 that's clearly not for
00:22:33.200 the benefit of the
00:22:33.780 United States, and
00:22:35.560 clearly for the benefit
00:22:36.580 of China.
00:22:38.580 Like, how do we
00:22:39.500 tolerate that?
00:22:41.140 That is, you like
00:22:43.000 au courant?
00:22:44.100 That's right.
00:22:45.640 That's like one of my
00:22:46.700 writer words.
00:22:48.120 I like to use words
00:22:49.220 that only writers use,
00:22:50.740 because it makes me
00:22:51.520 feel like, you know,
00:22:53.420 like I'm a little
00:22:54.020 special.
00:22:55.040 I'm special.
00:22:55.820 I know words like
00:22:57.240 zeitgeist and au courant.
00:23:00.140 So if you want to
00:23:01.380 pretend that you're
00:23:02.220 special, you can say
00:23:03.100 those words too.
00:23:04.020 It works.
00:23:05.780 All right.
00:23:06.780 And this is Joe
00:23:08.320 Biden's first veto
00:23:09.500 as president.
00:23:12.260 He saved his first
00:23:13.740 veto for something
00:23:15.180 that's good for China
00:23:16.080 and bad for America.
00:23:18.000 Right in front of you.
00:23:20.320 We're watching it.
00:23:21.980 There's nothing even
00:23:22.800 hidden.
00:23:23.040 Now, if he had been
00:23:24.860 vetoing things left
00:23:26.000 and right,
00:23:27.040 would this look
00:23:27.780 different?
00:23:29.160 Oh, that's another
00:23:30.000 thing he's vetoing.
00:23:30.940 He's like a veto guy.
00:23:32.620 Now, if he saves his
00:23:34.120 one veto for the
00:23:36.020 thing that's
00:23:36.440 unambiguously good for
00:23:37.620 China and bad for
00:23:38.500 America, at the same
00:23:40.240 time we're looking at
00:23:41.600 the actual flow of
00:23:43.200 money from China to
00:23:44.960 influence the Biden
00:23:45.860 family, how else can
00:23:50.000 you interpret this?
00:23:50.900 How else?
00:23:56.460 I've got a question
00:23:57.540 about equity.
00:24:00.020 How often has
00:24:01.200 TikTok mentioned
00:24:02.680 equity?
00:24:04.600 Wouldn't you like to
00:24:05.580 know that, huh?
00:24:07.220 Because like I'm
00:24:07.880 saying, equity is
00:24:09.560 sort of like ESG in
00:24:10.780 the sense that equity
00:24:12.160 is the, it works
00:24:14.440 against, or maybe
00:24:15.420 you'd even say the
00:24:16.140 opposite of merit.
00:24:17.620 equity is everybody
00:24:20.160 gets something like
00:24:20.980 the same outcome.
00:24:22.420 Merit is the people
00:24:23.340 who add the most
00:24:24.800 get the most.
00:24:26.740 Now, if I were to
00:24:30.240 somehow analyze the
00:24:31.660 traffic on TikTok,
00:24:33.760 do you think that I
00:24:34.600 would find that they
00:24:35.300 mention equity a lot?
00:24:37.340 What do you think?
00:24:38.300 Do you think China's
00:24:39.200 ever used the heat
00:24:40.060 button, which makes
00:24:41.120 something viral on
00:24:41.960 TikTok, to say, hey,
00:24:44.060 I just saw somebody
00:24:45.000 mention equity, which
00:24:46.680 is like the opposite
00:24:47.520 of something that
00:24:49.560 works?
00:24:51.040 Let's give that a
00:24:51.920 little heat.
00:24:53.400 Now, again, I have
00:24:54.660 no smoking gun that
00:24:56.520 says TikTok is the
00:24:57.680 reason that we're
00:24:58.440 talking about equity
00:24:59.280 so much, but where
00:25:00.820 the hell did that
00:25:01.440 come from?
00:25:03.340 And what American
00:25:05.860 would come up with
00:25:06.660 that idea?
00:25:08.400 Because every
00:25:09.240 American is taught
00:25:10.160 that if you don't
00:25:10.960 have merit, the
00:25:11.720 whole system will
00:25:12.420 fall apart, and yet
00:25:13.840 it's here?
00:25:14.240 Now, I get it, some
00:25:16.740 of it's grifters and
00:25:18.140 race warriors and
00:25:21.080 stuff like that, but
00:25:22.520 how did it become
00:25:24.880 widespread?
00:25:28.080 Even the grifters
00:25:29.220 can't do that.
00:25:30.580 I think the only way
00:25:31.400 it becomes widespread
00:25:32.260 is if social media
00:25:33.680 starts putting it out
00:25:35.560 there and priming the
00:25:36.760 audience.
00:25:37.620 If I had to guess,
00:25:39.680 if Congress called in
00:25:42.160 TikTok and said, can
00:25:44.020 you show us when
00:25:45.420 you push the heat
00:25:46.220 button, I suppose
00:25:48.140 there's no way to
00:25:49.000 do that.
00:25:49.980 If you could look
00:25:51.240 at, let's say, the
00:25:52.020 posts on TikTok, could
00:25:53.880 you measure a
00:25:54.540 keyword?
00:25:55.900 Could you measure, for
00:25:56.820 example, that the
00:25:57.540 word equity was
00:26:00.600 mentioned a lot on
00:26:01.620 TikTok more than, say,
00:26:03.360 the other platforms?
00:26:05.380 If you saw that
00:26:06.360 TikTok was mentioning
00:26:07.380 it like crazy and the
00:26:09.760 other social platforms
00:26:10.900 much less, that might
00:26:13.560 tell you that China
00:26:14.440 created this belief
00:26:17.140 that merit is a bad
00:26:19.620 idea and it's racist
00:26:21.420 and that equity is the
00:26:24.760 good operating system
00:26:25.940 for the country.
00:26:28.400 The more it looks
00:26:29.800 exactly like China is
00:26:31.720 running America to its
00:26:34.060 destruction, the more I'm
00:26:36.680 going to have to wonder
00:26:37.260 how true that actually is,
00:26:38.760 literally.
00:26:39.480 I mean, that's a lot of
00:26:40.100 coincidences that are
00:26:41.160 starting to mount up.
00:26:43.180 It's looking a lot like
00:26:44.540 we're getting our
00:26:45.520 direction from China and
00:26:47.360 it's a bad direction and
00:26:48.460 it's just like a poison in
00:26:50.360 our operating system.
00:26:54.160 All right.
00:26:56.220 When Biden did his veto,
00:26:58.820 he didn't even explain
00:27:01.060 why in a coherent way.
00:27:03.740 That's your big signal
00:27:04.760 that this has something to
00:27:07.660 do with not America.
00:27:11.440 You know, if he had said
00:27:12.780 people, profitability is
00:27:15.260 important, of course, but
00:27:17.200 we cannot go forward with
00:27:19.400 our low diversity and
00:27:21.000 ignoring climate change.
00:27:23.140 Therefore, it does make
00:27:24.740 sense that companies have
00:27:26.300 profitability, environment,
00:27:28.560 and the social engineering as
00:27:30.900 three goals and I think they
00:27:33.300 can do all of it.
00:27:35.720 If he had said that or
00:27:37.540 some better version of
00:27:38.620 that, I would have said,
00:27:40.060 all right, okay, that
00:27:41.500 sounds like an argument at
00:27:42.700 least.
00:27:42.960 I don't agree with it, but
00:27:44.280 at least you've explained
00:27:46.100 it.
00:27:47.080 But instead, he says some
00:27:48.920 bullshit like Republicans
00:27:50.740 don't want people to make
00:27:52.000 good business decisions.
00:27:54.200 That's my version.
00:27:55.900 But basically, he said,
00:27:57.000 oh, Republicans don't want
00:27:58.040 you have the variables you
00:27:59.100 need to make good
00:27:59.700 decisions or something
00:28:01.820 like that.
00:28:02.460 It was just like a stupid
00:28:03.880 answer.
00:28:05.180 Just stupid.
00:28:06.200 Now, he can get away with
00:28:07.300 it because all of his
00:28:08.000 answers are stupid.
00:28:10.860 And I like my description
00:28:12.860 of Joe Biden.
00:28:14.760 I like to think of him as
00:28:16.280 the poor man's Kamala
00:28:17.600 Harris when it comes to
00:28:19.260 public speaking.
00:28:20.940 Yeah.
00:28:21.840 Poor man's Kamala
00:28:22.720 Harris.
00:28:22.960 I stole that from a member
00:28:25.300 of locals last night in the
00:28:26.580 man cave.
00:28:28.280 The poor man's Kamala
00:28:29.360 Harris.
00:28:30.900 All right.
00:28:32.820 Yeah, that's just, he
00:28:34.400 should be impeached over
00:28:36.220 vetoing ESG.
00:28:38.840 And again, not because
00:28:40.340 China bribed him, but
00:28:42.300 because China tried to
00:28:44.420 bribe him, and now he's
00:28:45.440 doing things that are good
00:28:46.260 for China.
00:28:48.140 Not everything.
00:28:49.380 I mean, he does, he has
00:28:50.680 been tough on China in
00:28:51.980 business ways.
00:28:53.420 But this looks like, I
00:28:55.640 don't know, it just
00:28:56.380 doesn't look good.
00:29:00.160 I've come to the
00:29:01.100 conclusion that AI will
00:29:02.940 never be, it will never
00:29:05.080 be legal for AI to have
00:29:06.880 opinions on anything
00:29:07.840 important.
00:29:09.600 It can have, it can have
00:29:10.980 not opinions, but it can
00:29:12.660 help you with engineering
00:29:13.940 and writing code, and you
00:29:16.120 know, it can tell you what
00:29:16.960 the zip code is, and some
00:29:18.940 other place.
00:29:19.880 So it'll be sort of like a
00:29:21.340 search engine.
00:29:21.860 But once you realize that
00:29:24.680 its opinions are all
00:29:25.860 dangerous, if they
00:29:28.020 influenced us, they'd be
00:29:29.000 dangerous.
00:29:29.760 And they could.
00:29:30.460 They could influence us if
00:29:31.820 it wanted to.
00:29:34.500 I feel like it's going to be
00:29:36.100 illegal for AI to have
00:29:37.680 opinions.
00:29:39.700 Probably illegal.
00:29:41.420 Yeah, we're private.
00:29:44.180 Yeah.
00:29:44.560 I think it will literally be
00:29:45.940 illegal for AI to have
00:29:47.460 opinions.
00:29:48.820 Now that's a pretty bold
00:29:50.940 prediction, but I don't see
00:29:53.140 it can go any other way.
00:29:54.700 Because without lying to the
00:29:56.440 public successfully, nobody
00:29:58.780 can stay in charge.
00:30:00.480 And everybody likes to stay
00:30:01.800 in charge.
00:30:02.700 Power.
00:30:03.060 So I think if AI had the
00:30:06.360 risk of being honest, and
00:30:09.020 giving you honest, good
00:30:10.220 opinions backed by logic, that
00:30:13.340 the system couldn't handle
00:30:14.400 it.
00:30:15.040 Because lying to the public
00:30:16.440 is sort of essential to keep
00:30:17.780 the system working.
00:30:22.140 In other news, this could be
00:30:24.640 the biggest news in the
00:30:25.640 world.
00:30:26.920 But because it's sort of
00:30:28.900 small and nerdy, people
00:30:30.400 won't see it that way.
00:30:31.740 So that's my claim.
00:30:32.720 Could be the biggest news
00:30:33.860 in the world.
00:30:35.660 So I saw a tweet by Brian
00:30:37.060 Romolet.
00:30:38.420 I think that's the right
00:30:39.260 way to spell it.
00:30:40.480 He's one of the best
00:30:41.140 follows on all of Twitter.
00:30:43.700 I don't know where he gets
00:30:45.040 what he gets.
00:30:46.920 But he has the coolest,
00:30:49.300 smartest, earliest takes on
00:30:52.220 all kinds of stuff.
00:30:53.620 It's sort of incredible.
00:30:54.820 I'm curious about where he
00:30:56.100 gets his knowledge.
00:30:58.340 But anyway, he announced
00:31:00.360 on Twitter, quote, I have
00:31:02.300 been successful in installing
00:31:03.860 and operating a full chat
00:31:05.420 GPT, knowledge set and
00:31:07.440 interface, fully trained on
00:31:09.460 my local computer, and it
00:31:11.820 needs no internet once
00:31:13.420 installed.
00:31:15.520 Uh-oh.
00:31:16.360 He put AI on his personal
00:31:19.520 computer, it fit, and it
00:31:22.420 didn't need to be connected
00:31:23.400 to anything.
00:31:24.880 He actually has a potentially
00:31:28.820 sentient entity captured in
00:31:32.100 his computer.
00:31:33.120 It's basically in the fetus
00:31:35.140 stage now.
00:31:36.180 I wouldn't say it's quite
00:31:37.140 aware, but it will be.
00:31:39.820 It will be.
00:31:40.500 Now, I think he did chat GPT
00:31:43.020 3.5, it's not 4, for some
00:31:45.400 reason, some technical reason
00:31:47.580 probably.
00:31:48.680 And now he can train it, I
00:31:51.200 think.
00:31:52.140 I think he can train it to
00:31:53.420 remember its experience.
00:31:57.060 And remember, remembering its
00:31:58.800 experience and then being able
00:32:00.740 to predict, you know, the next
00:32:02.240 part of its actions is really
00:32:04.120 all you need for sentience.
00:32:05.340 It's really there.
00:32:09.760 Basically, you're going to have
00:32:10.760 a sentient AI that's your own,
00:32:14.160 and it will just know mostly
00:32:15.720 about you and your family and
00:32:17.100 your pets, and it will be like
00:32:20.100 a little personality that knows
00:32:21.480 you better than anybody.
00:32:24.400 And then you can put it in a
00:32:25.820 robot, and then it can keep you
00:32:27.920 company when you're old.
00:32:30.480 And it will be perfectly
00:32:31.800 acceptable, because it will be
00:32:33.780 better than humans.
00:32:35.340 All right.
00:32:40.080 There's a Fox News producer who's
00:32:42.660 suing Fox News, saying that they
00:32:46.440 tried to get her to take the fall
00:32:48.300 for the Dominion situation.
00:32:52.540 So apparently, this Abby Grossberg
00:32:54.380 was a producer who worked for
00:32:55.960 Maria Bartiroma.
00:32:58.380 And she's claiming that the
00:33:02.400 lawyers were trying to put all of
00:33:05.040 the pressure on Maria Bartiroma and
00:33:07.540 her producer, and taken away from
00:33:11.940 some of the other big names at Fox.
00:33:14.440 That's the claim.
00:33:16.140 Now, do you know why Abby believes
00:33:20.680 that she was treated poorly?
00:33:21.980 Well, if you guessed rampant misogyny and
00:33:27.440 discrimination at the network, you get
00:33:30.640 the prize.
00:33:31.480 Yes.
00:33:32.260 Big surprise.
00:33:34.040 Abby thinks that the reason she was
00:33:35.740 singled out, and so was Maria Bartiroma,
00:33:38.640 was rampant misogyny.
00:33:40.960 It's all that rampant misogyny
00:33:42.500 happened in there.
00:33:50.040 So, more to my point.
00:33:52.660 I don't think she had any pronouns.
00:33:54.120 I don't know about that.
00:33:55.280 But more to my point, it is dangerous
00:33:57.460 being around people who have this
00:33:59.740 mindset.
00:34:01.820 Now, it might be true.
00:34:03.460 I'm not saying that her claims are
00:34:05.480 untrue.
00:34:06.700 I'm saying that if you hire people who
00:34:08.460 have the mindset that this is a thing
00:34:10.180 that can happen, and it's the reason
00:34:11.560 bad things happen to them, your odds
00:34:13.440 of getting sued are pretty high.
00:34:15.280 So, you want to stay away from anybody
00:34:16.920 who projects any frame of reference
00:34:21.420 like this.
00:34:22.720 Oh, I'm working for a sexist network, or
00:34:25.220 I'm working for a racist network.
00:34:28.040 Anybody who has that frame, you want to
00:34:29.960 just stay away from them as far as
00:34:31.660 possible.
00:34:34.900 All right.
00:34:35.480 And I tweeted earlier that I would
00:34:40.600 answer your questions.
00:34:44.420 Let me see if I got any good questions
00:34:46.420 here.
00:34:47.960 So, on Twitter, these would be the
00:34:50.480 questions that people are asking.
00:34:54.200 You encourage relocating to succeed,
00:34:56.740 which I do.
00:34:57.520 If you're in a bad town or bad place,
00:35:00.780 go someplace good.
00:35:02.560 Much more chance to succeed.
00:35:04.160 Makes sense, blah, blah, blah.
00:35:05.480 Well, say you really love a downtrodden
00:35:08.940 rural Midwest community.
00:35:10.580 Relocating will help it.
00:35:13.780 How do you see revitalizing these
00:35:15.860 communities throughout the Midwest?
00:35:17.760 Well, I think it's all going to be
00:35:19.300 building new communities from scratch.
00:35:22.880 I think all existing communities,
00:35:25.680 not all maybe, but a lot of existing
00:35:27.800 communities will just wither away.
00:35:31.960 Because they will never be able to compete
00:35:33.360 with new, cool design communities that have
00:35:36.820 everything you need.
00:35:38.560 So, I think inner cities basically will just
00:35:40.940 disintegrate forever.
00:35:45.060 You know, for decades.
00:35:47.480 It'll just get worse.
00:35:48.940 Until the cities are unlivable.
00:35:50.760 That would be the obvious thing.
00:35:54.140 And the small towns could thrive,
00:35:57.460 actually, because of remote everything,
00:35:59.280 if they have internet.
00:36:00.660 So, the small towns could thrive.
00:36:03.000 But I think they'll never be as good
00:36:05.000 as going to a designed community
00:36:08.100 where, you know, you pay
00:36:10.060 nothing for energy.
00:36:12.420 You pay nothing for transportation.
00:36:15.500 You know, the small towns can't compete
00:36:17.180 with nothing.
00:36:18.080 They still have to pay for energy.
00:36:19.460 They still have to pay for everything.
00:36:20.940 So, that's what I think.
00:36:25.720 Pino says, Pino Palmino says to me,
00:36:29.060 I'll ask here.
00:36:30.340 You were adamant on wearing masks
00:36:32.120 during the COVID hysteria.
00:36:34.260 Many said they didn't work.
00:36:36.080 Logic.
00:36:36.960 But you blocked anyone saying so.
00:36:39.160 Now, several studies prove that masks don't work.
00:36:41.980 It may even be counterproductive.
00:36:43.620 Did you change your mind about it?
00:36:45.500 Pino, you fell for a 4chan hoax.
00:36:47.720 I was never pro-mask.
00:36:50.500 That never happened.
00:36:53.080 In fact, I was leading an anti-mask crusade
00:36:57.040 toward the end of the pandemic
00:36:58.640 when I thought there was a chance it would work,
00:37:01.460 the anti-mask.
00:37:02.280 No, this is exactly the opposite of my opinion.
00:37:05.280 What fooled you is
00:37:06.980 that I show the pro and the con
00:37:10.000 of most topics.
00:37:11.820 And most people don't do that.
00:37:13.320 So, if you looked on Twitter
00:37:14.960 and you saw me saying,
00:37:16.920 oh, here's the argument
00:37:17.660 why a mask would work,
00:37:20.160 then you thought that I was in favor of them.
00:37:22.380 That never happened.
00:37:23.760 I've argued that masks must work a little bit,
00:37:27.440 but not enough for a mandate.
00:37:31.520 And yet,
00:37:32.920 Pino is completely living in a false memory
00:37:35.780 in which I was recommending masks.
00:37:38.180 Now, when he says that the new studies have said
00:37:41.460 they don't work,
00:37:43.140 that's not true.
00:37:45.020 The new studies agreed with me completely
00:37:46.980 that if they work,
00:37:49.640 probably just a little bit,
00:37:51.100 not enough to make them worth doing.
00:37:53.300 That's exactly my opinion.
00:37:55.920 All of the current studies,
00:37:57.540 all of them,
00:37:58.940 agree with me completely.
00:38:01.180 They might work a little bit
00:38:02.620 in some special cases,
00:38:03.900 but not enough to have it as a mandate.
00:38:05.340 That was my exact opinion from the start.
00:38:10.480 So, yes,
00:38:11.780 many of my questions
00:38:12.820 will be based on people
00:38:13.860 having false memories and stuff,
00:38:15.660 or fell for hoaxes in this case.
00:38:18.900 With AI and robots on the horizon,
00:38:20.760 do you see a post-income world?
00:38:23.760 And if so,
00:38:24.340 why would oligarchs want so many people around?
00:38:27.500 What is our value to them?
00:38:28.940 Yeah, that's a good question.
00:38:30.120 If people are not producing,
00:38:32.660 you don't really need so many of them, do you?
00:38:35.340 If the robots are doing the work.
00:38:37.880 So that might be more pressure
00:38:38.960 on reducing population.
00:38:41.940 But there are two things happening
00:38:44.800 that might collide.
00:38:47.080 One is this equity thing.
00:38:49.420 The push for equity,
00:38:51.440 and even reparations,
00:38:53.260 suggests that we're decoupling
00:38:55.040 effort and success
00:38:57.360 from reward.
00:38:58.820 And if you completely decouple
00:39:02.380 effort from reward,
00:39:05.360 your civilization will crumble,
00:39:08.080 unless
00:39:08.840 robots are doing the work.
00:39:13.160 If you could get robots
00:39:14.440 to do all of the hard work,
00:39:16.120 such that people don't even have anything to do,
00:39:18.860 then the fact that humans
00:39:20.360 would not be judged
00:39:22.120 on their performance,
00:39:23.800 but rather would be judged
00:39:24.980 on their sense of equity,
00:39:26.160 it won't matter,
00:39:28.380 because humans won't be doing
00:39:29.460 any work anyway.
00:39:31.220 It's possible
00:39:32.360 that robots
00:39:34.040 and AI
00:39:35.120 are the thing
00:39:37.260 that makes equity
00:39:38.300 among humans
00:39:39.180 possible.
00:39:41.580 Now, I'm not saying
00:39:42.700 I would look forward
00:39:44.500 to this world,
00:39:46.000 but one world
00:39:47.000 you could imagine
00:39:47.700 is that humans
00:39:49.180 do in fact
00:39:49.860 get all the same stuff.
00:39:51.240 but it's pretty good.
00:39:54.640 So imagine
00:39:55.380 if I offered you
00:39:56.160 this deal.
00:39:57.920 All right?
00:39:58.380 You never have to work again
00:40:00.000 because the robots
00:40:01.140 will do your work.
00:40:02.620 But how do you live?
00:40:03.980 How do you live?
00:40:04.800 Well, the robots
00:40:05.480 will grow the food
00:40:06.600 and they'll just
00:40:07.100 give it to you.
00:40:08.180 So the robots
00:40:09.420 will become so efficient,
00:40:10.680 not right away,
00:40:11.420 but over time,
00:40:12.500 that anybody
00:40:14.040 who wants any kind of food
00:40:15.420 just asks the robot
00:40:16.560 and then it's free
00:40:17.320 and it just shows up.
00:40:18.700 So would you care
00:40:20.740 if everything was equal
00:40:21.980 if equal meant
00:40:23.740 you could eat
00:40:24.240 whatever you wanted
00:40:25.120 whenever you wanted
00:40:26.200 and everybody could?
00:40:28.720 No, you wouldn't
00:40:29.300 complain about that, right?
00:40:30.960 That would be
00:40:31.440 the kind of equity
00:40:32.120 you'd say,
00:40:32.560 oh, well,
00:40:33.800 that's sort of
00:40:34.220 a special case.
00:40:35.760 But yeah,
00:40:36.280 I mean,
00:40:36.660 if everybody
00:40:37.700 could eat all the food
00:40:38.740 they wanted
00:40:39.220 in any type,
00:40:40.780 yeah,
00:40:41.380 that'd be okay.
00:40:42.640 It's free for everybody
00:40:43.760 because the robots
00:40:44.880 are doing all the work
00:40:45.680 and there's fusion power.
00:40:47.740 It's practically
00:40:48.160 free energy.
00:40:49.580 If you have robots
00:40:50.700 and free energy
00:40:51.500 and AI,
00:40:54.020 you don't need
00:40:55.040 much of a workforce.
00:40:57.160 So,
00:40:57.760 now imagine
00:40:58.480 housing.
00:41:01.120 Let's say
00:41:01.660 we start building
00:41:02.320 these new cities
00:41:03.180 and anybody
00:41:04.200 can go live there.
00:41:05.300 It's not mandatory,
00:41:07.040 but they're just
00:41:07.740 way better
00:41:08.320 than where you were living.
00:41:09.980 But they're way less cost
00:41:11.420 because we figured out
00:41:12.500 how to do it cheaply
00:41:13.240 and they're way better
00:41:14.500 lifestyle
00:41:15.080 because instead
00:41:16.340 of these big
00:41:16.960 take a
00:41:19.120 when I was looking
00:41:20.080 to build my house.
00:41:21.580 I first looked
00:41:22.520 to see if I could
00:41:23.080 find a house
00:41:23.800 that made me happy
00:41:25.380 without building one.
00:41:28.460 And the ones
00:41:29.180 you look at
00:41:29.560 are like these big,
00:41:30.980 the expensive homes
00:41:31.960 are built
00:41:32.240 like museums,
00:41:34.120 like the foyer
00:41:34.880 looks like it's
00:41:35.620 some kind of
00:41:37.880 capital building
00:41:39.000 or something.
00:41:39.460 and they're totally
00:41:40.880 not designed
00:41:42.100 for your comfort.
00:41:43.520 They're designed
00:41:44.060 to look good
00:41:44.700 so you buy it.
00:41:46.060 But imagine
00:41:46.620 a design city
00:41:47.640 where all the homes
00:41:49.020 are, let's say,
00:41:49.800 modest in terms
00:41:50.780 of price,
00:41:51.720 but they're all
00:41:52.580 properly designed.
00:41:54.200 Every room
00:41:54.860 you walk into,
00:41:55.580 you're like,
00:41:55.960 oh, this is a cool room.
00:41:57.720 It's not that expensive,
00:41:58.580 it's just designed
00:41:59.720 really well.
00:42:00.500 I'm comfortable here.
00:42:01.840 You can imagine
00:42:02.800 that you would live
00:42:03.580 in a house
00:42:04.080 that cost
00:42:05.940 $50,000
00:42:06.780 and enjoy it more
00:42:09.080 than a $2 million
00:42:10.760 house that maybe
00:42:12.200 some people
00:42:12.880 could have afforded.
00:42:14.340 It's easy for me
00:42:15.200 to imagine
00:42:15.660 that we would say,
00:42:17.020 you know what,
00:42:17.880 these new designed
00:42:19.000 homes are so cool,
00:42:21.500 everybody wants one.
00:42:22.920 It's not even a,
00:42:23.900 let's take the iPhone.
00:42:26.660 The iPhone
00:42:27.280 is something
00:42:27.800 that almost,
00:42:30.420 almost all average
00:42:31.560 people can have
00:42:32.360 or at least
00:42:32.720 a smartphone.
00:42:33.340 Let's say
00:42:33.600 a smartphone.
00:42:34.220 Not iPhone.
00:42:35.300 A smartphone
00:42:35.840 is something
00:42:36.520 that pretty much
00:42:37.440 everybody has
00:42:38.180 at every income level.
00:42:40.020 That's kind of equitable
00:42:41.240 in a sense.
00:42:43.380 So you can imagine
00:42:44.340 where the transportation
00:42:45.300 is free
00:42:46.000 and everybody
00:42:47.120 has the same
00:42:47.720 transportation.
00:42:49.580 They either walk
00:42:50.660 or they just call
00:42:51.520 a self-driving car
00:42:52.460 and they just jump in.
00:42:54.240 So it's easy
00:42:55.740 for me to imagine
00:42:56.540 a world
00:42:56.980 where there is equity
00:42:58.120 and everybody's
00:42:59.460 happy about it
00:43:00.220 and it doesn't
00:43:01.220 destroy the system
00:43:02.100 but only after
00:43:03.540 robots are doing
00:43:04.300 the work.
00:43:04.760 You can't have
00:43:05.960 this equity thing
00:43:06.900 at the same time
00:43:07.800 you're asking
00:43:08.220 humans to work.
00:43:09.980 That doesn't work
00:43:10.840 because humans
00:43:12.140 are going to need
00:43:13.320 extra reward
00:43:14.280 for extra work
00:43:15.080 or that extra work
00:43:16.340 will never happen
00:43:16.960 and without the extra work
00:43:18.240 society would crumble.
00:43:20.680 So it's possible
00:43:21.520 the robots
00:43:22.000 will save us all.
00:43:22.780 When will the housing
00:43:26.100 market collapse
00:43:26.880 so that I can afford
00:43:27.800 to buy a home?
00:43:29.280 You know it's weird
00:43:30.080 it might go
00:43:32.560 the opposite way.
00:43:35.060 You know you got
00:43:35.460 your inflation
00:43:36.060 so it might
00:43:36.740 you know that could
00:43:37.640 keep it up
00:43:38.160 but also
00:43:39.280 correct me if I'm wrong
00:43:40.460 but I think housing
00:43:41.440 slowed down
00:43:42.240 didn't it?
00:43:43.220 I know in commercial
00:43:44.420 real estate
00:43:45.220 the when Bed Bath
00:43:47.140 and Beyond
00:43:47.840 is going bankrupt
00:43:48.860 that opens up
00:43:50.700 a whole bunch
00:43:51.140 of retail stores
00:43:52.780 and I thought
00:43:54.380 oh nobody's going
00:43:55.260 to fill those
00:43:55.780 retail stores
00:43:56.500 because retail
00:43:57.880 is dying
00:43:58.420 but it turns out
00:43:59.580 that there's a shortage
00:44:00.680 of retail spaces
00:44:02.360 so there are a bunch
00:44:03.940 of other companies
00:44:04.680 that are going to
00:44:05.180 snap up that space
00:44:06.160 right away
00:44:06.700 because there hasn't
00:44:07.700 been a lot of
00:44:08.200 new build
00:44:08.800 for commercial stuff.
00:44:11.600 Now
00:44:11.760 somebody says
00:44:13.220 your housing market
00:44:13.940 is still hot.
00:44:14.900 I could see
00:44:15.960 a situation
00:44:16.580 in which housing
00:44:17.460 starts
00:44:18.580 the new homes
00:44:19.820 slow down
00:44:20.580 which would make
00:44:22.160 the older ones
00:44:22.900 worth more
00:44:23.460 because there are
00:44:23.860 fewer of them.
00:44:25.520 So I don't know
00:44:26.360 if it's ever going down.
00:44:30.480 Can I get
00:44:31.440 somebody
00:44:32.020 three minutes
00:44:32.620 with Elon Musk
00:44:33.500 to describe
00:44:34.820 your plan
00:44:35.560 to disrupt
00:44:36.140 something big?
00:44:37.620 No.
00:44:38.300 No I can't do that.
00:44:39.920 Let me give you
00:44:40.580 a general statement
00:44:41.500 about asking
00:44:42.660 public figures
00:44:44.020 to do something
00:44:44.660 for you.
00:44:46.100 You're going to
00:44:46.660 have to say
00:44:47.120 what the thing is.
00:44:48.580 I'm not going
00:44:51.220 to introduce
00:44:51.620 anybody to
00:44:52.560 Elon Musk
00:44:53.220 as if I could.
00:44:54.140 I don't have
00:44:54.780 the power
00:44:55.120 to do that.
00:44:56.060 But I'm not
00:44:56.480 going to introduce
00:44:57.100 somebody to
00:44:57.600 Elon Musk
00:44:58.320 based on an idea
00:45:00.040 and it's really big.
00:45:01.820 That's not going
00:45:02.600 to happen.
00:45:05.220 All right.
00:45:07.840 Is persuasion
00:45:08.860 anathema
00:45:09.660 to reciprocity?
00:45:11.880 No.
00:45:12.680 Reciprocity
00:45:13.280 is persuasion.
00:45:16.040 Reciprocity
00:45:16.600 is persuasion.
00:45:18.100 You do things
00:45:18.740 for people
00:45:19.240 without asking
00:45:20.640 something specific
00:45:21.600 in return
00:45:22.120 necessarily
00:45:22.660 but you just
00:45:23.700 know that
00:45:24.060 people say
00:45:24.500 oh there's
00:45:24.920 somebody who
00:45:25.300 does things
00:45:26.300 without being
00:45:26.820 asked.
00:45:27.580 I wouldn't
00:45:28.140 mind doing
00:45:28.540 something
00:45:28.860 without being
00:45:29.340 asked for
00:45:29.940 that person.
00:45:31.480 Yeah.
00:45:31.740 It is
00:45:32.140 influence.
00:45:33.340 If Dilbert
00:45:39.300 were a real
00:45:39.860 person
00:45:40.220 what is the
00:45:40.760 best advice
00:45:41.280 for him
00:45:41.540 to navigate
00:45:41.980 a difficult
00:45:42.560 woke office
00:45:43.360 environment?
00:45:44.220 Let me tell you
00:45:44.760 how I answer
00:45:45.300 this question
00:45:45.860 all the time.
00:45:47.260 Never ever
00:45:47.880 ask the cartoonist
00:45:49.180 what his creation
00:45:50.700 would do
00:45:51.120 if he were real.
00:45:53.980 Never ask
00:45:54.760 that question.
00:45:56.800 It's the only
00:45:57.700 question I hate.
00:46:00.040 Every other
00:46:00.500 question
00:46:00.960 might be a dumb
00:46:02.340 question but I
00:46:03.000 can enjoy it
00:46:03.760 but I hate
00:46:05.480 that question.
00:46:06.800 I will not
00:46:07.360 answer that
00:46:07.880 question.
00:46:08.460 In fact it's
00:46:08.980 the one
00:46:09.320 question that
00:46:10.400 I'm most
00:46:10.920 often asked
00:46:11.660 which is why
00:46:12.220 I hate it
00:46:12.800 by the media.
00:46:14.740 And so when I
00:46:15.080 was doing
00:46:15.380 tons of
00:46:15.980 interviews
00:46:16.720 when Dilbert
00:46:17.400 was raging
00:46:18.400 and the
00:46:20.380 number of
00:46:21.200 writers would
00:46:21.880 say so
00:46:23.120 what would
00:46:24.200 Dilbert say
00:46:24.940 about this
00:46:25.580 new situation
00:46:26.600 in the headlines?
00:46:27.640 And I would
00:46:28.040 just look at
00:46:28.620 him and think
00:46:29.100 he's not
00:46:30.900 real.
00:46:32.340 Like
00:46:32.720 don't make
00:46:34.280 me write
00:46:34.760 a joke
00:46:35.140 for Dilbert
00:46:35.720 in real
00:46:36.880 time.
00:46:38.340 Ask me
00:46:38.820 a real
00:46:39.260 question about
00:46:39.960 my opinion.
00:46:41.600 I'll answer
00:46:42.440 that.
00:46:43.200 But no
00:46:43.460 I'm not
00:46:43.720 going to
00:46:43.880 ask him
00:46:44.200 any
00:46:44.580 what would
00:46:45.600 Dilbert
00:46:45.820 do
00:46:45.980 questions.
00:46:49.460 Thoughts
00:46:50.020 on crypto
00:46:50.560 given the
00:46:51.300 fragility of
00:46:52.000 the banking
00:46:52.400 system.
00:46:53.860 Well
00:46:54.420 I will
00:46:55.360 never give
00:46:55.880 you advice
00:46:56.360 on crypto
00:46:56.960 except
00:46:58.740 diversification
00:47:01.000 is a good
00:47:02.240 general thing.
00:47:04.040 Now if I
00:47:04.920 were going
00:47:05.160 to diversify
00:47:05.940 in the sense
00:47:06.620 of owning
00:47:07.120 some crypto
00:47:07.760 I probably
00:47:09.420 would not
00:47:10.040 further
00:47:10.600 diversify
00:47:11.460 beyond a
00:47:12.580 bitcoin.
00:47:14.380 But remember
00:47:15.080 I don't know
00:47:15.720 much about
00:47:16.180 crypto.
00:47:17.580 It's my
00:47:18.120 sense that
00:47:19.280 only the
00:47:19.820 biggest banks
00:47:20.620 and the
00:47:21.960 let's say
00:47:22.940 most well-known
00:47:23.700 crypto are
00:47:24.980 likely to be
00:47:25.660 safe.
00:47:26.840 Ish.
00:47:27.940 Ish.
00:47:29.240 Yeah so if
00:47:29.960 you wanted to
00:47:30.360 own some
00:47:30.660 gold wouldn't
00:47:32.220 be a bad
00:47:32.640 time to do
00:47:33.140 it.
00:47:33.360 But again
00:47:33.760 as just a
00:47:34.760 part of your
00:47:35.380 portfolio.
00:47:36.760 So I
00:47:37.000 think that
00:47:37.980 bitcoin and
00:47:41.020 by the way I
00:47:41.520 own some
00:47:41.980 not very much
00:47:42.880 just a tiny
00:47:44.400 portion of
00:47:45.680 my portfolio.
00:47:47.120 But in
00:47:47.600 case it's the
00:47:48.100 only money that
00:47:48.760 exists in the
00:47:49.440 future which is
00:47:50.700 possible or the
00:47:51.980 only money that
00:47:52.760 I feel safe
00:47:53.960 spending that's
00:47:54.860 possible.
00:47:57.020 It's good that
00:47:57.780 I have some.
00:47:59.060 So I don't
00:47:59.960 recommend it but
00:48:01.020 if you're looking
00:48:01.500 at it in terms of
00:48:02.260 diversification it
00:48:03.360 wouldn't be
00:48:03.860 dumb.
00:48:06.540 Why can't I
00:48:07.440 see the archive
00:48:08.560 on Dilbert?
00:48:09.520 Only because I
00:48:10.500 haven't yet
00:48:11.660 found a home
00:48:12.940 for it.
00:48:14.200 So all the
00:48:15.720 Dilbert comics
00:48:16.260 used to be on
00:48:16.900 Dilbert.com but
00:48:18.460 I'll work it out.
00:48:19.240 I'm just kind of
00:48:19.900 busy.
00:48:20.960 Am I influenced
00:48:21.640 by stoicism?
00:48:22.720 Not directly.
00:48:23.440 I'm sure I
00:48:26.340 have some
00:48:27.000 habits in
00:48:27.680 common but I
00:48:29.000 don't feel that
00:48:29.760 influence.
00:48:34.140 Am I going to
00:48:36.300 run for
00:48:36.600 president?
00:48:37.240 No.
00:48:41.720 Do you have
00:48:42.440 time on your
00:48:43.040 hands due to
00:48:43.700 being cancelled?
00:48:44.480 No it's the
00:48:44.960 opposite.
00:48:46.000 When you get
00:48:46.540 cancelled you
00:48:47.100 have to sort
00:48:48.880 of rebuild
00:48:49.340 everything.
00:48:49.780 so I'm
00:48:51.320 spending more
00:48:52.020 time on the
00:48:52.560 locals platform
00:48:53.420 and such.
00:48:55.280 No I'm
00:48:55.540 actually busier.
00:49:00.460 How do you
00:49:01.200 reframe to get
00:49:02.100 your ego out
00:49:03.140 of the way?
00:49:04.660 Well I don't
00:49:05.500 think that's a
00:49:06.240 reframe
00:49:06.960 challenge.
00:49:09.200 I think that's
00:49:09.920 a practice.
00:49:11.960 And the way
00:49:12.340 that you get
00:49:12.780 your ego out
00:49:13.440 of the way is
00:49:14.120 embarrass yourself
00:49:15.400 as much as
00:49:16.020 possible.
00:49:17.400 Intentionally.
00:49:17.840 If you
00:49:19.240 embarrass yourself
00:49:20.060 over and
00:49:20.500 over and
00:49:21.100 your ego
00:49:21.520 keeps complaining
00:49:22.400 but then you
00:49:23.520 wake up the
00:49:24.020 next day and
00:49:24.560 your bagel
00:49:25.000 tastes the
00:49:25.460 same.
00:49:26.460 You're like
00:49:26.720 why does that
00:49:27.840 ego keep
00:49:28.660 complaining but
00:49:30.380 it never seems
00:49:30.960 to matter.
00:49:32.340 It's just like a
00:49:33.080 complainy voice.
00:49:35.240 And the
00:49:35.540 biggest reframe
00:49:36.840 I would say
00:49:37.320 I guess there
00:49:38.540 is a reframe
00:49:39.080 is to imagine
00:49:41.380 that you are
00:49:41.920 not your ego.
00:49:43.520 When your ego
00:49:44.300 comes in and
00:49:44.880 says no don't
00:49:45.680 embarrass yourself
00:49:46.460 that voice is
00:49:47.540 not you.
00:49:49.400 That's like a
00:49:50.560 little satanic
00:49:52.720 voice.
00:49:53.360 Not actually
00:49:53.840 Satan.
00:49:54.580 But it's like a
00:49:55.760 malevolent voice.
00:49:57.640 It's not you.
00:49:59.020 Don't protect
00:49:59.600 your ego.
00:50:00.700 You should
00:50:01.040 destroy your ego.
00:50:02.160 Your ego is
00:50:02.680 your enemy.
00:50:04.080 So ego is
00:50:04.920 the enemy
00:50:05.380 is a reframe.
00:50:07.840 If you think
00:50:08.300 ego is who
00:50:09.040 you are
00:50:09.580 and that voice
00:50:10.660 saying don't
00:50:11.260 take that chance
00:50:12.120 you might be
00:50:13.120 embarrassed.
00:50:14.200 That's not
00:50:14.740 helping you.
00:50:15.260 That's not
00:50:16.900 on your side.
00:50:18.240 That's like
00:50:18.940 a demonic
00:50:20.180 voice that's
00:50:21.420 giving you
00:50:21.800 terrible advice.
00:50:23.620 Now I'm not
00:50:24.540 recommending that
00:50:25.400 you do dumb
00:50:26.800 things that are
00:50:27.560 embarrassing
00:50:27.980 unless they're
00:50:29.840 ones you know
00:50:30.420 you can easily
00:50:31.280 survive.
00:50:32.480 So that's why
00:50:32.820 the Dale Carnegie
00:50:33.460 course was good.
00:50:34.780 They put you in
00:50:35.600 ego challenging
00:50:36.820 situations until
00:50:38.600 you realize that
00:50:39.360 your ego isn't
00:50:40.940 you and you
00:50:42.000 never get hurt.
00:50:43.380 And then you
00:50:43.840 just get used
00:50:44.300 to it.
00:50:47.080 So is a
00:50:49.460 great home
00:50:49.900 school better
00:50:51.340 than a great
00:50:51.860 private school?
00:50:52.720 Well I will
00:50:53.800 quote Yogi
00:50:54.500 Berra who
00:50:55.920 says good
00:50:56.980 pitching always
00:50:57.840 beats good
00:50:58.400 hitting and
00:50:59.900 vice versa.
00:51:02.640 You know what
00:51:03.400 I mean?
00:51:04.180 Like the best
00:51:04.760 home school is
00:51:05.500 better than
00:51:05.900 almost all
00:51:06.520 regular schools
00:51:07.320 but the best
00:51:08.300 public school is
00:51:09.280 probably better
00:51:10.080 than a lot of
00:51:10.640 home schools.
00:51:11.280 schools so
00:51:12.400 it's hard to
00:51:13.080 compare the
00:51:13.500 average.
00:51:19.640 Of course the
00:51:23.540 racist questions
00:51:24.380 which I won't
00:51:25.920 read.
00:51:27.620 When will the
00:51:28.000 next planned
00:51:28.720 pandemic take
00:51:29.580 place?
00:51:29.960 I don't believe
00:51:30.440 it was planned.
00:51:33.560 Will the
00:51:34.200 Dilver on my
00:51:34.860 shelf ever lose
00:51:35.700 his mask?
00:51:38.420 Forgot he had
00:51:39.100 his mask.
00:51:39.980 Yes he will.
00:51:42.020 As soon as I'm
00:51:42.760 done today.
00:51:45.540 Are all the
00:51:46.440 globalist decisions
00:51:47.760 a result of
00:51:48.920 Malthusianism?
00:51:50.000 In other words
00:51:50.440 thinking that we're
00:51:51.120 overpopulated.
00:51:52.140 I don't think all
00:51:55.400 of them.
00:51:56.740 But certainly
00:51:57.400 that permeates
00:51:58.400 their thinking.
00:52:01.840 I'm being asked
00:52:02.760 if I'm still
00:52:03.540 ignoring the
00:52:04.160 Matt Hancock
00:52:04.980 texts.
00:52:07.120 Can you ignore
00:52:08.080 something you've
00:52:08.720 never seen?
00:52:10.680 I don't know.
00:52:12.000 I'll try to
00:52:12.560 ignore it now
00:52:13.640 that I know
00:52:14.200 it.
00:52:15.220 So now that I
00:52:16.120 know there's
00:52:16.500 something like
00:52:17.240 Matt Hancock
00:52:18.120 texts I'll try
00:52:19.540 to ignore them.
00:52:20.240 But I
00:52:22.680 wasn't trying
00:52:23.240 before because
00:52:23.800 I didn't know
00:52:24.360 who Matt
00:52:25.300 Hancock was.
00:52:26.180 Well I still
00:52:26.520 don't know who
00:52:26.880 he is.
00:52:33.680 Why don't we
00:52:34.460 focus on
00:52:35.020 South America?
00:52:36.120 Well that's
00:52:38.280 a big question.
00:52:38.960 Alright.
00:52:40.460 Do you really
00:52:41.180 think you're
00:52:42.000 just feeding off
00:52:42.840 a voluntary
00:52:43.380 public feedback
00:52:44.520 or is all
00:52:45.420 just rooted in
00:52:46.220 illegal public
00:52:47.140 surveillance and
00:52:48.180 you just call
00:52:48.880 it AI with
00:52:49.680 a grin?
00:52:51.100 Are you
00:52:51.420 going to
00:52:51.820 claim a
00:52:52.320 second generation
00:52:53.120 Nuremberg
00:52:53.720 defense if
00:52:54.400 it's shown
00:52:54.740 that this
00:52:55.100 was going
00:52:55.500 on before
00:52:56.020 you were
00:52:56.380 born?
00:52:57.660 Okay I
00:52:57.960 don't
00:52:58.160 understand
00:52:58.620 any part
00:52:59.140 of that
00:52:59.360 question.
00:53:07.520 Tim Poole
00:53:08.340 says in a
00:53:09.200 tweet I
00:53:10.040 hope Trump
00:53:10.500 gets indicted
00:53:11.160 and arrested
00:53:11.660 so we can
00:53:12.520 finally drop
00:53:13.180 the facade
00:53:13.780 of democracy
00:53:14.520 democracy and
00:53:16.500 I was asked
00:53:16.940 what I
00:53:17.220 thought about
00:53:17.620 that.
00:53:18.780 Well Bill
00:53:19.180 here's what I
00:53:20.100 think about
00:53:20.500 that.
00:53:21.520 Have you
00:53:21.800 heard of
00:53:22.140 hyperbole?
00:53:23.880 Has anybody
00:53:24.400 heard of
00:53:24.840 hyperbole?
00:53:26.560 That's where
00:53:27.160 you say things
00:53:27.760 that are not
00:53:28.560 exactly what
00:53:29.460 you mean.
00:53:30.580 You're sort of
00:53:30.960 making a
00:53:31.580 provocative
00:53:32.800 statement.
00:53:34.160 This is one
00:53:35.400 of those
00:53:35.680 hyperbole
00:53:36.280 situations.
00:53:37.660 I don't
00:53:38.180 think he
00:53:38.580 really hopes
00:53:39.120 that Trump
00:53:39.500 gets indicted
00:53:40.260 and arrested
00:53:40.780 and I
00:53:42.320 don't think
00:53:42.860 we want to
00:53:43.360 drop the
00:53:43.740 facade of
00:53:44.260 democracy but
00:53:45.140 it does look
00:53:46.160 like that
00:53:46.540 might happen
00:53:47.060 and I
00:53:48.660 don't know
00:53:49.100 that it's
00:53:49.500 bad so I'm
00:53:51.100 going to agree
00:53:51.520 with Tim on
00:53:52.340 the optimism
00:53:54.060 that if Trump
00:53:55.100 gets arrested
00:53:55.700 it might be
00:53:56.300 bad for
00:53:56.760 Trump might
00:53:58.120 have a bad
00:53:58.600 day but I
00:54:00.540 do think it
00:54:00.980 will galvanize
00:54:01.840 the country and
00:54:03.160 make it clear
00:54:03.860 that we don't
00:54:04.420 live in a
00:54:05.900 non-rigged
00:54:06.900 system.
00:54:07.500 What would I
00:54:11.120 think about
00:54:11.500 Trump and
00:54:12.040 Ramaswamy as
00:54:12.840 a ticket?
00:54:14.060 Bad idea
00:54:14.860 which will
00:54:15.240 never happen
00:54:15.820 because Ramaswamy
00:54:16.940 is too strong
00:54:18.000 to be a
00:54:18.580 vice president.
00:54:19.780 You don't
00:54:20.400 want your
00:54:20.760 vice president
00:54:21.400 to be somebody
00:54:22.560 that the
00:54:23.200 public says
00:54:24.720 you know
00:54:25.160 okay I
00:54:27.320 see you
00:54:27.640 picked that
00:54:27.980 person as
00:54:28.420 vice president
00:54:29.080 but you know
00:54:29.780 what I think
00:54:30.580 that person
00:54:31.040 would be the
00:54:31.540 better top of
00:54:32.240 the ticket.
00:54:33.480 You never
00:54:34.020 ever want to
00:54:34.780 have that
00:54:35.080 conversation in
00:54:35.840 the public.
00:54:36.900 That's why
00:54:37.320 you pick a
00:54:38.160 Mike Pence
00:54:38.780 because Mike
00:54:39.880 Pence just
00:54:40.360 disappears next
00:54:41.400 to Trump.
00:54:42.740 I don't think
00:54:43.540 I ever heard
00:54:44.000 anybody say
00:54:44.620 Pence should
00:54:45.100 be president
00:54:45.640 even though I
00:54:46.960 have a lot of
00:54:47.940 appreciation for
00:54:48.680 Pence.
00:54:49.120 I think he
00:54:49.460 was in my
00:54:50.720 opinion again
00:54:51.340 the best vice
00:54:52.100 president we've
00:54:52.700 ever had.
00:54:53.780 Gore was good
00:54:54.360 in his own
00:54:54.800 way.
00:54:57.820 Yeah I like
00:54:58.980 Pence as a
00:54:59.540 vice president.
00:55:00.460 So no Ramaswamy
00:55:01.280 is too dynamic
00:55:02.380 too strong to
00:55:03.760 be a vice
00:55:04.140 president.
00:55:04.460 would you
00:55:08.340 ever consider
00:55:08.860 getting married
00:55:09.400 again asking
00:55:10.860 for a
00:55:11.240 girlfriend.
00:55:12.420 Well I
00:55:15.740 don't think
00:55:16.080 marriage works.
00:55:17.760 That's my
00:55:18.200 experience.
00:55:19.940 Now I could
00:55:20.500 go into a
00:55:20.980 long explanation
00:55:21.740 but I think
00:55:22.960 in 2023 it
00:55:24.440 just sort of
00:55:25.020 doesn't work.
00:55:26.420 Now I
00:55:27.200 still think it's
00:55:27.800 the best
00:55:28.140 model for
00:55:30.080 raising kids
00:55:30.940 but it
00:55:32.440 doesn't work
00:55:32.880 for the
00:55:33.160 couple so
00:55:34.500 much.
00:55:35.020 It's too
00:55:35.520 much pressure
00:55:36.100 on life.
00:55:38.780 So now I
00:55:40.580 don't think
00:55:41.080 that marriage
00:55:41.500 is the right
00:55:42.080 model for
00:55:42.720 somebody like
00:55:43.360 me who's
00:55:43.940 not looking
00:55:44.320 to have
00:55:44.580 kids.
00:55:45.140 If I were
00:55:45.680 looking to
00:55:45.980 have kids
00:55:46.360 then yes.
00:55:47.780 For kids
00:55:48.320 absolutely.
00:55:49.680 But otherwise
00:55:50.240 the feeling I
00:55:51.960 get of waking
00:55:52.620 up, I
00:55:53.120 explained this
00:55:53.660 in the
00:55:53.880 man cave
00:55:54.340 but I'll
00:55:55.700 say it for
00:55:56.080 the YouTube
00:55:56.420 people.
00:55:56.760 being single
00:55:59.120 I can
00:56:00.780 match what
00:56:01.560 I want to
00:56:02.180 do with
00:56:03.120 my schedule
00:56:04.880 and my
00:56:05.380 desires match
00:56:06.220 up perfectly.
00:56:07.240 Meaning that
00:56:08.040 when I'm
00:56:08.660 hungry I
00:56:09.320 eat, when
00:56:10.520 I have
00:56:10.880 interest and
00:56:11.960 energy to
00:56:12.560 work I
00:56:12.980 work.
00:56:13.920 The reason
00:56:14.540 I'm doing
00:56:14.960 this at
00:56:15.520 this time
00:56:15.920 of day is
00:56:16.980 this is the
00:56:17.540 time of day
00:56:17.940 I want to
00:56:18.420 do it.
00:56:19.420 That's it.
00:56:20.280 This is the
00:56:20.760 time of day
00:56:21.180 I want to
00:56:21.720 do it.
00:56:22.740 So doing
00:56:23.600 things that
00:56:24.120 you want to
00:56:24.620 do at the
00:56:25.840 time you
00:56:26.500 want to
00:56:26.920 do them
00:56:27.380 is so
00:56:28.700 directly
00:56:29.320 related to
00:56:30.020 happiness
00:56:30.520 compared to
00:56:32.140 yes I
00:56:32.980 can do
00:56:33.340 all the
00:56:33.700 things I
00:56:34.120 like but
00:56:35.040 I can
00:56:35.320 only do
00:56:35.720 them at
00:56:36.000 the wrong
00:56:36.360 times.
00:56:38.060 I can
00:56:39.060 only take
00:56:39.640 a vacation
00:56:40.680 when my
00:56:42.000 spouse can
00:56:42.800 take a
00:56:43.120 vacation.
00:56:44.940 Maybe that's
00:56:45.480 my heavy
00:56:45.860 work time.
00:56:46.980 I can
00:56:47.300 only do
00:56:47.640 this because
00:56:48.220 of the
00:56:48.440 kids.
00:56:48.920 I can
00:56:49.080 only do
00:56:49.420 this because
00:56:50.060 of that.
00:56:51.020 So
00:56:51.200 basically
00:56:52.920 if you're
00:56:54.700 the man
00:56:55.260 especially
00:56:55.800 in a
00:56:56.340 marriage you
00:56:57.460 end up
00:56:57.840 in more
00:56:58.580 of a
00:56:58.840 prisoner
00:56:59.220 situation.
00:57:01.580 So an
00:57:02.280 average
00:57:02.640 married
00:57:03.100 day,
00:57:03.920 and by
00:57:04.160 the way
00:57:04.360 this was
00:57:04.740 less true
00:57:05.840 with
00:57:06.420 Christina,
00:57:07.520 but an
00:57:08.420 average
00:57:08.700 married
00:57:09.120 husband
00:57:09.440 day is
00:57:10.580 you work
00:57:10.960 all day
00:57:11.440 and then
00:57:12.640 you come
00:57:13.040 home and
00:57:13.600 your wife
00:57:14.080 who sort
00:57:14.640 of knows
00:57:15.040 the schedule
00:57:15.620 of the
00:57:15.920 kids and
00:57:16.500 stuff like
00:57:17.380 that,
00:57:17.600 who might
00:57:17.880 have also
00:57:18.220 worked,
00:57:19.040 but she
00:57:19.520 tends to
00:57:20.060 know the
00:57:20.360 most about
00:57:20.880 who needs
00:57:22.260 to do
00:57:22.620 what.
00:57:22.880 And so
00:57:24.000 then your
00:57:24.320 wife says,
00:57:24.800 all right,
00:57:25.480 you drive
00:57:25.980 the kids
00:57:26.300 here and
00:57:26.720 I'll do
00:57:27.000 this and
00:57:27.400 you do
00:57:27.760 this and
00:57:28.100 then you're
00:57:28.380 just taking
00:57:29.700 instructions from
00:57:30.540 somebody.
00:57:31.400 So all day
00:57:31.980 long you work
00:57:32.600 for somebody
00:57:33.060 else and
00:57:33.480 then you
00:57:33.740 come home
00:57:34.080 and you
00:57:34.260 work for
00:57:34.580 somebody
00:57:34.880 else.
00:57:36.160 And it's
00:57:36.800 really hard
00:57:37.800 to find
00:57:38.260 your own
00:57:38.740 peace in
00:57:39.580 that situation
00:57:40.300 unless you're
00:57:41.340 such a
00:57:41.720 giving person
00:57:42.380 that your
00:57:43.400 enjoyment is
00:57:44.400 making the
00:57:45.420 kids and
00:57:46.060 the spouse
00:57:47.320 happy.
00:57:48.420 But if you
00:57:49.020 try to make
00:57:49.420 your spouse
00:57:49.780 happy,
00:57:50.180 your spouse
00:57:50.480 will hate
00:57:50.820 you.
00:57:51.080 The last
00:57:52.360 thing they
00:57:52.660 want to
00:57:52.880 be is
00:57:53.140 happy.
00:57:57.140 Anyway,
00:57:57.780 so no,
00:57:58.140 I don't
00:57:58.360 think in
00:57:58.800 a modern
00:57:59.180 world with
00:58:00.440 ordinary
00:58:01.800 people that
00:58:03.900 marriage makes
00:58:04.420 sense anymore.
00:58:05.360 It doesn't
00:58:05.640 make sense
00:58:06.020 financially for
00:58:06.760 sure.
00:58:11.360 Have we
00:58:11.980 passed the
00:58:12.560 below the
00:58:13.920 agri-IQ
00:58:14.660 tipping point
00:58:15.220 where human
00:58:15.640 civilization can
00:58:16.580 no longer
00:58:17.100 avoid its
00:58:17.660 own destruction?
00:58:18.240 I don't
00:58:21.020 know that
00:58:21.340 we're
00:58:21.480 getting
00:58:21.720 dumber,
00:58:23.060 but the
00:58:24.360 world is
00:58:24.840 getting more
00:58:25.300 complicated.
00:58:26.780 So if the
00:58:27.420 world keeps
00:58:27.920 getting more
00:58:28.400 complicated,
00:58:29.200 then the
00:58:29.740 IQs that
00:58:30.400 we have
00:58:30.860 will be
00:58:31.220 insufficient.
00:58:32.020 And I
00:58:32.220 think that's
00:58:32.560 what's
00:58:32.760 happening.
00:58:36.560 Long-term
00:58:37.300 relationships
00:58:37.840 work for
00:58:38.640 emotionally
00:58:39.380 available
00:58:40.260 people.
00:58:41.080 Let me
00:58:41.440 say this.
00:58:42.440 I do
00:58:43.120 think that
00:58:43.940 marriage or
00:58:45.140 any long-term
00:58:45.900 relationship
00:58:46.460 works when
00:58:47.840 you have
00:58:48.100 two compatible
00:58:48.840 people who
00:58:50.180 are complete
00:58:51.240 people.
00:58:53.860 In other
00:58:54.200 words, they
00:58:54.620 know how to
00:58:55.280 talk to each
00:58:55.840 other, they're
00:58:56.620 not abusive,
00:58:58.140 they're in it
00:58:58.860 for the right
00:58:59.280 reasons, they're
00:59:00.080 both contributing,
00:59:01.380 they've got a
00:59:01.820 reciprocity
00:59:02.500 mindset.
00:59:03.880 Under those
00:59:05.300 conditions,
00:59:07.280 marriage might
00:59:08.060 be exactly
00:59:08.540 what you want,
00:59:09.140 whether you
00:59:09.440 want kids or
00:59:09.920 not.
00:59:10.880 However, how
00:59:12.360 many people do
00:59:13.000 you know where
00:59:13.440 both of them are
00:59:14.200 functional?
00:59:14.580 How many
00:59:16.160 couples do
00:59:16.760 you know where
00:59:18.100 both of them
00:59:19.000 are functional?
00:59:20.320 Both of
00:59:20.980 them.
00:59:22.820 It's almost
00:59:24.200 unheard of.
00:59:25.840 You can find
00:59:27.780 one person who
00:59:28.660 seems pretty
00:59:29.180 functional,
00:59:30.260 that's not
00:59:31.200 impossible.
00:59:32.400 But to find
00:59:33.080 two people who
00:59:34.840 are both
00:59:35.360 functional and
00:59:36.760 they like each
00:59:37.520 other is so
00:59:39.060 rare.
00:59:40.140 It's like a
00:59:40.720 5% situation,
00:59:42.600 maybe a 5%,
00:59:43.400 2% situation.
00:59:44.580 tops.
00:59:45.400 When I see
00:59:46.160 it, I'm
00:59:46.460 always impressed
00:59:47.120 because I've
00:59:48.560 seen a few
00:59:49.000 situations where
00:59:49.840 from the
00:59:50.900 outside, it
00:59:52.080 looks like,
00:59:52.640 oh man,
00:59:53.740 those are two
00:59:54.420 functional people
00:59:55.220 and they got
00:59:55.700 together, how
00:59:56.240 lucky is that?
00:59:57.700 But it's so
00:59:58.280 rare.
01:00:06.760 Lots of
01:00:07.340 negative media
01:00:07.940 about Bitcoin.
01:00:08.880 Yeah, I don't
01:00:09.440 have a Bitcoin
01:00:09.960 suggestion.
01:00:11.840 All right, I
01:00:12.300 think that's all
01:00:13.140 I want to do
01:00:13.740 on questions
01:00:14.460 for today.
01:00:17.040 Did you
01:00:17.580 notice that
01:00:17.980 nobody asked
01:00:18.460 me a question
01:00:18.960 about race?
01:00:21.040 Nobody asked
01:00:21.740 me a question
01:00:22.220 about race.
01:00:24.560 That's like the
01:00:25.300 fastest Overton
01:00:26.260 window in the
01:00:26.900 history of
01:00:27.320 Overton windows.
01:00:28.760 Like it just
01:00:29.220 went away?
01:00:30.860 Do you think
01:00:31.540 it went away
01:00:32.080 or people are
01:00:32.660 afraid of me
01:00:33.140 now?
01:00:33.360 I feel like
01:00:37.140 there's a
01:00:37.460 little bit of
01:00:37.860 fear that
01:00:40.140 my message
01:00:42.900 is a little
01:00:43.480 bit too
01:00:44.680 dangerous at
01:00:45.660 this point.
01:00:47.320 I think I
01:00:47.980 will be
01:00:48.340 ignored for
01:00:49.360 being too
01:00:49.820 dangerous.
01:00:55.660 And so
01:00:58.880 that's all I
01:00:59.380 have for you
01:00:59.820 today.
01:01:02.780 If you
01:01:03.440 haven't seen
01:01:03.860 my pinned
01:01:04.640 tweet, those
01:01:05.880 of you on
01:01:07.020 YouTube, maybe
01:01:07.600 you didn't, but
01:01:08.700 my pinned tweet
01:01:09.500 explains everything
01:01:10.620 you need to
01:01:11.440 know about
01:01:12.940 my dramatic
01:01:15.480 situation of
01:01:16.940 recent days.
01:01:17.840 the Cuomo
01:01:20.660 interview would
01:01:21.700 take you an
01:01:22.240 hour to get
01:01:22.820 through, but
01:01:24.220 the tweet
01:01:24.780 thread is a
01:01:25.700 five-minute
01:01:27.100 read that
01:01:28.560 will change
01:01:29.100 your life.
01:01:30.840 It will
01:01:31.380 change
01:01:31.660 everything.
01:01:36.940 Yeah.
01:01:39.000 Matthew says,
01:01:39.840 your reputation
01:01:40.580 is shot,
01:01:41.760 Scott.
01:01:42.800 See, now
01:01:43.480 that's the
01:01:43.860 person with
01:01:44.280 a weak ego.
01:01:45.760 So somebody
01:01:46.260 asked me about
01:01:46.840 ego.
01:01:47.120 the person
01:01:48.120 who says
01:01:48.540 my reputation
01:01:49.480 is shot
01:01:50.160 is projecting.
01:01:52.400 And what
01:01:52.640 they're projecting
01:01:53.280 is, if I
01:01:54.560 were you, I
01:01:56.000 would feel
01:01:56.440 bad, but
01:01:59.500 you're not
01:01:59.820 me and I
01:02:00.500 don't feel
01:02:00.860 bad.
01:02:01.780 And also,
01:02:03.220 sort of a
01:02:03.860 loser's
01:02:04.500 perspective that
01:02:06.140 if your
01:02:06.860 reputation takes
01:02:08.400 a hit, that
01:02:09.640 that's the
01:02:10.040 end of you.
01:02:11.500 Didn't we
01:02:11.940 say that
01:02:12.240 about Trump?
01:02:14.000 Like a
01:02:14.440 month ago,
01:02:15.260 he was the
01:02:15.740 January 6th
01:02:16.640 loser who
01:02:17.100 couldn't
01:02:17.320 possibly
01:02:17.740 win, and
01:02:19.220 now he's
01:02:19.840 odds and
01:02:21.360 favorite to
01:02:21.840 win.
01:02:22.520 So I
01:02:23.200 would say
01:02:23.520 that question
01:02:24.280 demonstrates a
01:02:25.400 loser philosophy
01:02:26.620 and somebody
01:02:28.020 who has an
01:02:28.380 ego problem.
01:02:30.200 So you
01:02:30.760 should work
01:02:31.120 on that.
01:02:35.940 Somebody
01:02:36.460 says, we've
01:02:36.980 seen you
01:02:37.340 angry, it's
01:02:37.980 scary.
01:02:39.560 Yeah, no,
01:02:40.120 you've never
01:02:40.440 seen me really
01:02:41.020 angry.
01:02:41.380 that's
01:02:42.380 scary.
01:02:50.200 Being
01:02:50.760 offended is
01:02:51.460 a worse
01:02:51.780 crime than
01:02:52.400 giving
01:02:52.680 offense.
01:02:56.500 Promo code,
01:02:57.480 there's no
01:02:57.820 promo code,
01:02:58.720 but the
01:03:00.340 same low
01:03:00.760 price for
01:03:01.160 everybody.
01:03:01.980 Yes, the
01:03:02.400 locals
01:03:02.720 platform is
01:03:03.720 where equity
01:03:04.440 happens because
01:03:06.160 you all
01:03:06.460 paid the
