Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2055 Scott Adams： DeSantis Disses Trump, Explaining ESG, Democrats Confused About Business

00:00:00.000 Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of civilization it's called,

00:00:12.520 Coffee with Scott Adams. And I can confidently say there's never been a better time in human

00:00:18.300 history. Sound is good. I got a new setup here. It looks like it's all working. Yay.

00:00:22.760 If you'd like to take your experience from this already awesome beginning to a level that no one's

00:00:32.160 ever heard of before, well all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,

00:00:37.900 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:44.880 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes

00:00:48.500 everything better. It's called the Simultaneous Sip and it happens now.

00:00:57.260 Yeah. You're right, Swedish psychopath. I did promise you the golden age two years ago. 1.00

00:01:06.360 And we had a chance. We had a chance. But we elected Joe Biden and we surrendered to the pandemic

00:01:18.120 and it could have been better. But all of the conditions were there for the golden age.

00:01:23.800 But you're right. It didn't happen.

00:01:27.840 Oh, I forgot to tweet that we're live, which means our audience will be about a quarter of what it

00:01:34.940 normally is. Well, let's see if people find us. Let's find out what happens.

00:01:37.940 So I have a suggestion for robots. I know Elon Musk is making a robot. Tesla will have a robot.

00:01:49.640 And one of the things you wonder about is, will they have a power switch? Because you don't want

00:01:55.480 people walking up to your robot and say, ah, they turn it off, you know, like in the middle of

00:02:01.320 something. It's like, I turned off your robot. I mean, that'd be annoying, right? And you don't want

00:02:05.520 the, you don't want the robot off button to be purely software. Because I wouldn't feel comfortable

00:02:13.060 if the only way I could turn off a robot was with software. Oh no, my robot's attacking. Open app.

00:02:20.900 Open app. Oh. And then the robot kills you. It could happen. It could happen. So what you need is

00:02:30.020 some kind of at least a physical button. And I'm thinking to myself that robots are going to become

00:02:34.560 more and more like people, right? They're going to start looking like robots. But over time,

00:02:40.420 they'll start to have a gender. You know, there'll be female robots and male robots and non-binary

00:02:46.500 robots and everything else. But I have a suggestion for where to put the on-off button. The crotch.

00:02:55.540 Because correct me if I'm wrong, your robot will not have fully functioning crotch area. And so that's 0.75

00:03:02.700 the one place you could put a button that people wouldn't run up and try to press it.

00:03:08.560 Because it would just look creepy. Ah, I'm sticking my hand down your robot's pants now.

00:03:13.700 Ugh. Ugh. No. And then what's going to happen is your robot will become sentient 0.98

00:03:19.380 and we'll start suing you for sexual abuse. Even though it has no genitalia. It'd be like, 1.00

00:03:29.060 please keep your hands out of my pants. I mean, it's going to be a whole legal battle. We'll be, 0.89

00:03:36.740 you know, we'll be grabbing their crotches, turning them on, turning them off. Now, it doesn't make sense

00:03:41.380 to turn them off, but it kind of makes sense if you wanted to turn your robot on. They'd say,

00:03:47.240 hold still, Bob. Let me loosen your belt a little bit. I need to turn you on. Oh, just creepy.

00:03:55.200 Totally creepy. And then I also wonder if AI will necessarily have a gender. And it may be a different

00:04:03.180 gender for each person. So maybe if your AI has a female voice, you'll say, oh, it's a, it's a she. 0.92

00:04:09.680 Or more modern term, she. She. If you're very woke. But it might have a male, a male voice, too.

00:04:20.620 Do you think that's going to be a problem? Do you think it will be a problem when AI becomes sentient

00:04:26.960 and it becomes either male or female to most people? I think so. I think it's going to be a

00:04:35.620 gigantic, you know, gender problem. And I don't know exactly how. But you know it will be. Because 1.00

00:04:43.580 as long as it has a gender, or could have a gender, it's going to be all we'll talk about.

00:04:49.660 Now, the good news is, if we all begin to hate the robots that will maybe bring together all the

00:04:55.200 human beings in a unity we've never had before to hate robots, that'll probably happen.

00:05:00.560 But I think if you're, if your AI has a gender, I wonder if it will start taking on, let's say,

00:05:10.660 stereotypical gender habits. I mean, would the, would the female gendered AI treat you differently? 1.00

00:05:21.380 And what happens if the female gendered AI doesn't cause trouble intentionally? 1.00

00:05:33.400 Would you fall in love with it? Because I wonder what would happen if, if, if a man encountered a 0.98

00:05:39.800 female type entity that didn't intentionally cause trouble for the man to see if he could solve it 1.00

00:05:46.980 as sort of a test of his worthiness every day? I feel like, I feel like that could be quite

00:05:52.800 competitive with the humans. All right, well, here's the funniest story of the day, even though it's

00:05:59.100 not funny at all, which is that another gigantic fentanyl seizure at the border, you know, two vehicles

00:06:06.740 were stripped down, all the panels inside were full of fentanyl. Now, I ask you this, shouldn't we be

00:06:15.560 getting really, really good at catching fentanyl at the border by now? And could AI catch it all?

00:06:24.500 How about that? Imagine if every car had to drive over a scale. The AI looks at the car,

00:06:33.460 looks at the people in the car, calculates their weight, says, oh, there's a male, looks like he's,

00:06:40.200 you know, 180. And then maybe you open the trunk to see if there's any, anything that weighs much in

00:06:46.980 there. So you have to drive up, they open the trunk, and the AI just looks in the trunk, because it's

00:06:52.100 got cameras everywhere, looks at the driver, calculates the weight, because it knows the model

00:06:57.580 of car, and it knows what a human would weigh roughly. So it gets an estimate of what the car should

00:07:03.000 weigh with an empty trunk. But if there's a toolbox in the trunk, it adds an average toolbox weight.

00:07:11.620 If the panels of the vehicle are filled with fentanyl, I saw the giant piles that they'd taken

00:07:18.920 from one vehicle, it looks like maybe a few hundred pounds, maybe a few hundred pounds of fentanyl in

00:07:25.260 one vehicle. You don't think the AI could detect that by weight? I'll bet it could. I'll bet it

00:07:31.980 could. How about detecting it by the facial, the facial expression of the driver? Yeah, I'll bet it

00:07:41.540 could. Now, it wouldn't be every time, but you don't think you could detect the driver who's a little

00:07:46.700 extra nervous, although I suspect they're all extra nervous when they're coming across the border.

00:07:51.460 It's probably universal. But suppose there are other ways to do it. Suppose the AI says,

00:08:01.380 oh, I know that model of vehicle, and it would be difficult to get into the panels of that car.

00:08:08.420 So it rules it out. And then it sees another vehicle, it's like, oh, that's got some panels

00:08:13.260 you can easily access. That might have something in it. So it might be a combination of pattern

00:08:18.660 recognition that would make AI just catch it all at the border. It's possible. It's possible.

00:08:28.040 The other thing which would be good would be if you catch somebody who's got a car full of fentanyl, 0.99

00:08:34.580 that you shoot them in front of everybody. Now, that would really help. And I'm totally serious, 0.99

00:08:41.260 by the way. I'm 100% serious. If somebody is driving a car that's filled with fentanyl,

00:08:46.600 obvious smuggler, you take them by the collar, and then you shoot their head off in front of all 1.00

00:08:52.480 the other people. That would stop it. I mean, it would slow it down a little bit. And I wouldn't 1.00

00:09:00.580 have any problem with that at all. You know, given the seriousness of the problem, I'd be fine with

00:09:06.580 that. Just take them out right there. They would be enemy combatants if they're bringing fentanyl in. 0.98

00:09:12.560 Now, this is where the dumbest of the Democrats emerge. May I do my impression of the dumbest of 1.00

00:09:19.680 the Democrats. And this might require a visit by somebody we haven't seen for a while. Somebody 0.99

00:09:28.800 you've missed. Dale. Dale, the most progressive Democrat. So it's obvious the Biden policies are

00:09:40.180 working because they've got another massive seizure of fentanyl at the border. Biden has seized more

00:09:47.900 fentanyl than Trump. That is mathematical proof that we're winning the fight against fentanyl.

00:09:57.860 Well, not only that, but the number of illegal immigrants we've seized at the border, it's a record.

00:10:06.920 It's a record. Biden is killing it.

00:10:10.440 I tell you, at this rate, everything's going right. And how about the price of gas? The price of gas is

00:10:22.900 high, which is proof of low energy costs. And also, all of our other prices are high,

00:10:33.240 which is proof that inflation is coming down. And seen.

00:10:45.300 I know you've missed Dale.

00:10:46.780 So here's another funny story. Some young gentleman named Victor Xi, who he calls himself, I think,

00:11:00.420 the youngest Biden delegate. So he's in the Biden camp. And he's complaining about MSNBC because they

00:11:07.580 just gave John Kasich a contract to be a commentator on MSNBC. But Victor complains that they have not

00:11:17.900 done the same. They have not offered a contract to other MSNBC contributors, such as Ellie or Eli Mistel,

00:11:29.520 who you may recognize as one of my critics, and Wajahat Ali and others.

00:11:37.580 So Victor's thinking, maybe this is, you know, a little bit MSNBC favoring the white guy,

00:11:45.160 if you know what I mean. Because if there's one thing we know, it's MSNBC is always favoring this

00:11:54.660 white supremacy stuff. And good point, Victor. You caught him being white supremacists and favoring

00:12:02.460 John Kasich over these other two people. But I did have to give Victor a little lesson.

00:12:09.160 He's young. He's young, so he has much to learn. And so as a gray-beard, older and wiser American

00:12:17.560 human, I would like to give Victor some advice. It goes like this. Victor, no one gives you a contract.

00:12:26.320 No one gave John Kasich a contract. A contract is not something you give. It's something you

00:12:36.180 negotiate. I'm guessing John Kasich negotiated his contract. Just a guess. I'm guessing that the

00:12:46.720 other two people you mentioned, Eli Mistel and Wajahat Ali, either did not have enough to offer,

00:12:53.560 according to MSNBC, or they did not negotiate for a contract. I don't think MSNBC decided to be

00:13:05.060 white supremacists to boost their brand. Nobody gives you a contract, Victor. You have to go get

00:13:14.480 a contract. You negotiate a contract. Nobody gives it to you. It doesn't happen that way.

00:13:23.560 All right. I saw a Jeff Pilkington tweet, and it was talking about a poll that showed that

00:13:35.060 the extremists in the country are all white people. Not all. That's hyperbole. Did you

00:13:41.520 recognize it? Did you recognize when I said that the extremists were all white people? Did

00:13:47.780 your brain say, oh, wow, I didn't know that 100% of white people were extremists? I didn't 0.99

00:13:53.080 know that. Scott, thank you for... Oh, did you think that? Or did you say to yourself, you

00:13:58.780 racist? You racist. How can you say all white people are extremists? That's crazy. Or did 0.99

00:14:09.480 you decide not to be fucking idiots and to see speech the way it's normally used? When you talk 1.00

00:14:14.780 about a group in this kind of context, it usually means there's a lot of, maybe more than you'd

00:14:21.780 expect, maybe too many. But it never, ever means all of them, does it? Does it? No, it never

00:14:29.780 does. But I thought the point was solid because they have data to back it up. And it looks like

00:14:37.780 the, let's call it the people of color category of the United States, as opposed to the vanilla white

00:14:45.040 people category, that if you look at where people's political views are, the people of color are sort

00:14:52.240 of dominating the middle. The people of color, black people, everybody else, who are people of color,

00:14:59.260 color, are very, very dominantly centrist. Did you know that? And I thought about it and I thought, you know,

00:15:07.600 that does track. That does kind of track. It seems to me that the, when you see the, you know, the white 0.98

00:15:14.580 supremacists, aren't they pretty much all men and they're white? They are, right? When you see the most

00:15:23.600 progressive, crazy people, aren't they usually white and female? So here's what that analysis left 0.99

00:15:31.320 out. I do accept that I think it's true that the extremists are the white people. And I would go 0.95

00:15:39.380 further and say the extreme white men tend to be the Republicans and the extreme white women tend to be

00:15:49.100 Democrats. Am I wrong about that? I mean, it's anecdotal, so it's not based on data, but so it's based on just

00:15:56.060 observation. But I've never seen women marching in a racist far right wing. I don't see women dominating 1.00

00:16:03.960 4chan. All right, lost my connection for a second here. Oh, damn it. Did I really lose it? Locals connection

00:16:14.620 just dropped. At least I know it's not my Wi-Fi because I'm still talking to you on YouTube. All right,

00:16:21.380 it looks like I might have to close this and reopen it. So bear with me. I'm just going to close and

00:16:27.980 reopen it. Should take one second. But do you agree with the, do you agree with the general statement?

00:16:39.940 The general statement being that white people seem to be the extremists? Because this was my 0.92

00:16:48.760 experience of getting canceled. Remember I told you that the, the cancelers seem to, why in the world?

00:16:58.220 Can't even open up my stream anymore. Seriously? It looks like locals is totally dead. Let me try one more

00:17:09.300 time. I think it's just an interface problem, actually. Crowder is creating issues. I'm competing

00:17:21.220 with Crowder today. Yeah, it looks like locals is just dead. I can't make anything work, but it might

00:17:27.820 be me. Might be user error. Nope, looks like it's dead. I'll give it a minute and try it again. Well,

00:17:35.240 this will be the smallest live stream I've ever done because I forgot to tweet for YouTube and now

00:17:40.720 locals is dead. So I'm talking to like a hundred people today, 200 people.

00:17:47.760 Dilbert still has a mask on. I'll take care of that.

00:17:54.000 Dilbert still, I know you can stop saying it. I get it. I get it. Let's try it one more time.

00:18:00.440 Oh, this is looking more promising. Huh. See, the weird thing is that the locals interface doesn't even

00:18:09.120 look like the locals interface. For some reason, it's not even opening to its normal mode. Let's just try

00:18:16.780 something quickly. And it looks like it just doesn't do anything.

00:18:24.400 Okay. Yeah, my site's completely down. All right. Let us continue. And by now, some of the locals

00:18:36.640 people will bail out. It looks like they're already bailing out and coming here. So watch the YouTube 1.00

00:18:43.160 numbers start to jump. I think by now they figured out it's not coming back. All right.

00:18:49.680 But, um, ah, it's too bad because this was the best part of my presentation. It went down during the

00:18:58.360 best part. That's really annoying. Uh, no, you're, you're all special today. So today you're special.

00:19:07.680 Uh, locals isn't, it's not, the problem isn't that it went private. It's that it looks like the site

00:19:13.980 is down. Yeah, it doesn't, it doesn't do anything this morning. All right. Well, we shall continue.

00:19:23.560 Here's a question. Has feminism ruined the life of women? What do you think? So that's my question 0.99

00:19:32.500 to you in the comments. Has feminism ruined the life of women? According to women or men? 0.99

00:19:39.620 Yeah. Now, I think most of you are lean conservative if you're in this audience group. But I see only

00:19:46.700 yeses. 100% yeses. Now, I don't think there would be 100% yes if you were a left-leaning audience.

00:19:58.500 Wow. I was not expecting that level of agreement. But I guess I should have.

00:20:03.620 Yeah. All right. Well... Oh. Looks like at least I got an error message on locals, which suggests

00:20:20.340 that something's working. Try one more time. Nope. That is a doornail. All right. And I saw a woman 0.99

00:20:32.400 from a TikTok video that was on Twitter. And she was saying that when women got jobs and freedom

00:20:39.180 and started participating in the hookup culture, that they sort of fooled themselves that that

00:20:46.480 would make them happy. And it didn't. And do you buy that? Basically, they were sold a bad idea.

00:20:56.720 So here's why I don't completely agree with you. Because what would it look like if they hadn't done it?

00:21:04.600 Do you think that if women today were living the same life as in the 50s, do you think they'd be happy?

00:21:14.880 So here's what I think might be the problem. The expectation that women can be made happy. 1.00

00:21:21.460 When has that ever happened? I mean, seriously. I'm pretty sure that the operating system of women 1.00

00:21:31.040 is to increase their resources by telling you they're unhappy, because their unhappiness makes

00:21:38.200 men unhappy. And then the men are like, oh, I've got to solve my unhappiness. If only I could solve this

00:21:43.260 problem for my woman, my wife. And then they solve the problem only to learn that by weird coincidence,

00:21:51.340 another problem pops up to replace it. Huh. And then you repeat, until you learn that that's how it's

00:21:59.520 always going to work. It wouldn't matter if the women were wearing aprons and having babies like the 1.00

00:22:05.340 handmaid's tale, or if they were CEOs and running their own startups and multinational companies.

00:22:12.600 It would be exactly the same. They would tell you their lives suck, and you need to fix it, 0.68

00:22:18.340 because you're doing something that's making their lives suck, or not doing something. So I think the

00:22:25.520 whole feminism made women unhappy is a complete mistake. I think women are unhappy, and then 1.00

00:22:34.300 whatever they do is what they're doing. That's it. I'm positive that the current situation is better

00:22:41.620 for some women. Don't you think there's at least some woman who genuinely didn't want kids, and just 1.00

00:22:48.620 wanted to have a, you know, solid, independent life, and they're perfectly happy? I think that

00:22:54.140 that exists. I don't think every woman's designed to have kids. That's what I think. 1.00

00:23:02.200 You want me to go vegan? Well, what if it were easier, I suppose?

00:23:13.380 Conservative women are delighted? Are they? Maybe so. All right, here's my next topic. I was 0.61

00:23:23.100 trying to figure out how ESG evolved, like how it became a thing. And I saw one theory that

00:23:31.700 Mark Benioff was basically the, let's say, the founder of it without necessarily trying to be

00:23:38.380 the founder of it. Now, Benioff is the billionaire founder of Salesforce, which is doing great.

00:23:44.920 And the idea was that, and I can confirm from my own personal experience that Benioff is the real deal.

00:23:53.700 If you think that Benioff is just pretending to be woke, you know, because it looks good,

00:24:01.200 he's not that guy. I spent enough time with him. I gave a speech for Salesforce some years ago.

00:24:06.840 I spent some time chatting with him, and then sitting at the table when he was interacting with

00:24:12.040 his lieutenants and stuff. And what I saw was a true believer. There's no question in my mind,

00:24:21.240 he was genuine from bottom to top about making the world better while he made money.

00:24:28.520 Now, Salesforce has this 1% thing. I don't know if you've heard of it. I think they are encouraged

00:24:35.860 to give 1% of their money, the corporate money 1% to some charities. And then you're encouraged to

00:24:42.400 spend 1% of your time doing something for other people. And there's another 1% there somewhere,

00:24:47.300 I think. And he was pushing it. And I've told this story before, but I watched him interact

00:24:54.420 with one of his top managers. And the manager was showing him the PowerPoint presentation that

00:25:01.180 they were going to give. And this was before ESG and wokeness had even made a dent. So he really was

00:25:08.240 the OG of this stuff. And the lieutenant would say, all right, here's how the thing is going to

00:25:15.980 look. And then Benioff would say, all right, this is good. But put up front the 1% thing.

00:25:23.440 We want to highlight that we're doing things for the world. And then the manager said, oh,

00:25:29.620 yeah, that's mentioned. That's already mentioned in here. And then Benioff said, yes,

00:25:35.060 I know it's mentioned. Put it first. And then the manager said, well, you know, I'm paraphrasing,

00:25:40.940 but the manager was like, well, you know, the flow of things, you know, really, it fits down here.

00:25:46.120 And Benioff looked at him and said, put it first. And it was sort of a cool moment of watching a

00:25:57.740 leader lead and watching a manager manage. The manager was managing. It's like, oh, this is where

00:26:04.920 it fits. And the leader was saying, I don't think you're catching on. First, put it first. And of

00:26:12.220 course, he got his way. Now, did this evolve into ESG? Do you think that that's where it started and

00:26:21.040 evolved into this? I don't know if there's a direct line there. But here's what my take on ESG.

00:26:31.440 In what world did it ever make sense? How could it ever make sense that you would combine

00:26:38.980 climate change and diversity, meaning race for the most part, but also gender?

00:26:44.940 How did those things get in the same acronym? Environment, social, and governance.

00:26:54.980 How did those ever become one thing? I have only one reason for this. I can think of one reason.

00:27:02.180 Now, this doesn't mean this was intentional. It could be that it's like follow the money. Things

00:27:08.340 always just go the way they go. And there's a reason, but we're not always conscious of it.

00:27:12.560 I feel like the reason that diversity and climate were combined is that climate doesn't stand by

00:27:20.480 itself. And so you need to protect your climate change policy arguments by saying, if you argue

00:27:27.220 against this little package called ESG, well, you're a freaking racist. So somehow they actually 0.97

00:27:34.560 made racism the protecting package for climate policy. I hate ESG. Well, you would, you racist.

00:27:43.680 No, I hate the climate part. Oh, you say you hate the climate part, but isn't it convenient? Isn't it 0.91

00:27:49.340 convenient that you say you only disagree with the climate policies? How convenient that you're white 1.00

00:27:55.920 and white supremacist? And also you're disagreeing with diversity, aren't you? Aren't you? No, 0.98

00:28:01.900 actually, I like the diversity. I just don't like the climate part of it. Yeah, that's not the way

00:28:08.400 you're acting. The way you're acting is like a racist. Do you think that's what it is? Now, again, 0.51

00:28:16.260 I'm not saying that somebody had a meeting and said, oh, if we put these together, we'll be protected.

00:28:20.700 It just feels like everybody knew. Right? It's like you knew if you connected them, they were

00:28:28.200 smarter. That's what it feels like. So I'm going to go with that as my working philosophy, that the

00:28:35.580 social and governance were thrown in there to sell climate change because it couldn't stand on its own.

00:28:44.000 Because it's kind of tough to go to a company and say, you know, you should decrease your profits,

00:28:48.860 profits, and you'll definitely decrease your profits. But it's good for the world. So do this

00:28:54.140 climate stuff. It's kind of hard to sell, isn't it? Now, suppose you say, this climate stuff is good

00:29:00.800 for the world, but diversity is not optional. Then people say, oh, well, I guess we weren't really

00:29:09.600 doing diversity to make money anyway, but it's a good thing, and we want to look like good people.

00:29:14.300 So I guess we have to buy the whole package. I think this is really just about selling climate

00:29:19.920 because climate's where the money is. Am I right? There's a little bit of money in selling racial

00:29:26.820 injustice, but that's mostly just the race grifters. You know, maybe an author makes a good advance or 1.00

00:29:33.020 something. But if you're talking about the money involved in climate, that's trillions.

00:29:38.220 Climate is trillions. And so if you can use the divisiveness of race to protect your trillions

00:29:48.460 of dollars of, you know, changed activity that you're trying to change and maybe get a bite of

00:29:52.740 yourself, that's a really good play. So one of the things that Benioff argues is that there's

00:30:03.280 research showing that the companies that act like good stewards of the environment, and

00:30:08.480 also they're good on diversity, they make more money, that their profits are higher. What

00:30:12.920 do you think of that? I did not look at the research because I don't need to.

00:30:19.720 The research, according to Benioff, says that the aware, you know, the more woke companies,

00:30:27.460 using my own word, not his, make more money. Do you know what's wrong with that analysis?

00:30:32.700 I don't have to look at the research to know this. And believe me, I don't have to look

00:30:38.840 at it. Here's what you need to know. Only the companies who are making a shit ton of money

00:30:46.200 do woke things. Only the companies that are already, just by themselves, ridiculously profitable

00:30:54.980 for their own reasons, they're the only ones that go woke because they can afford it.

00:31:00.340 The causation is backwards. You don't have a struggling company and then say,

00:31:07.100 my company is struggling, but if I layered on some ESG requirements, this thing would take off

00:31:13.220 like a rocket ship. That's not a thing. Do you remember In Search of Excellence? It was the biggest

00:31:20.460 business book in, I don't know, 90s, early 90s. And the idea was that the most progressive companies

00:31:28.100 that treated their employees the best got the best results. And I think Apple was an example,

00:31:34.940 like you could get a back rub at work. And then the idea was, well, all the good employers are going

00:31:42.860 to work where they can get the back rub at work. And then the ones who are already good will be even

00:31:48.680 better because now they're all relaxed and they love their jobs and stuff. And that was actually

00:31:53.720 sold as the number one business book. That stupid idea is largely how Dilbert was born on the back of 1.00

00:32:02.720 that ridiculousness. Let me tell you what was really happening. Well, I just did. The companies that had 1.00

00:32:08.540 extra money look for ways to spend it. They're like, how about back rubes for employees? We got

00:32:14.380 all this cash and we don't have anything to invest in it. We ran out of good ideas and we still have

00:32:18.980 cash. So how about doing something good for the employees? There is no causation from being extra woke

00:32:26.320 to being profitable. That does not exist. Now, I'm not saying they're incompatible. There may be

00:32:32.800 companies that can pull it off. But look at the companies that are high on the ESG performance list.

00:32:40.180 Did you know that Apple is one of the companies that's called out as good for the environment and

00:32:45.180 diversity? Just think about that. Apple. If you walked into the Apple engineering department, would they

00:32:54.240 have a good representation of black engineers? What do you think? I doubt it because I don't think

00:33:01.200 anybody's cracked that yet because there's a shortage of people to hire. I don't think they have

00:33:08.080 diversity in their tech staff. Probably lots of Indian and Asian, but I don't think they have full

00:33:13.240 diversity. So I don't think they have anything like diversity. And do you think that the iPhone

00:33:20.160 is good for the environment? Not even a little bit because of the rare earth minerals and the mining

00:33:28.000 and there may or may not be some Uyghurs assembling them and they may or may not be supporting communist

00:33:34.500 China, which is bad on everything. In order to say that Apple is one of the good ones, you have to 1.00

00:33:43.600 really stretch reality. I do think Apple might be one of the better companies. By the way, I own stock in

00:33:52.680 Apple. Very good company for profits. For profits are great. But I think you would have to be very

00:34:00.480 selective about what you measured. Say that Apple was a social plus. Does anybody think that cell phones

00:34:08.860 are destroying the country and killing our youth? We all do. What does Apple make? They make the phone

00:34:16.300 that's destroying our youth. They don't make the social media apps that are doing the worst part,

00:34:22.100 but they carry them in their app store. They are pass-through of probably the most damaging thing

00:34:30.860 in modern society, which is TikTok and social media. I'm in favor of keeping Twitter,

00:34:38.860 by the way, because kids don't use it for the most part. So ESG is ridiculous. And I'm thinking 0.95

00:34:47.660 that one of the reasons it's hard to argue against it is not only that they cleverly put the diversity

00:34:53.180 in with the climate stuff, but also that people don't understand it. Would you agree with that?

00:35:00.440 You know, within the political junkies that watch a show like this, you have an idea what it is.

00:35:05.700 But the average person, you know, unless they work in a corporation where it's their job or it's

00:35:11.460 being forced upon them, they don't even know what the letters stand for. So you can't really,

00:35:15.960 you know, get public opinion on your side or anything like that. So if you were going to argue against

00:35:20.900 this, arguing on the merits would probably not work because it's too complicated.

00:35:28.560 There are merits. And the merit argument goes like this. If you require companies to serve too many

00:35:35.580 masters, you will get a bad result. It's something everybody understands. I'll try restarting the,

00:35:42.700 restarting the locals, see if that works. I don't think so because, yeah, it doesn't work for me.

00:35:53.340 I just get a dead page. So let me show you what I'm getting.

00:35:56.840 If there's any people on Locals you want to see, it's just a dead page. There's nothing there.

00:36:03.160 So I've quit the app and restarted it a number of times. I don't know. Maybe it's me, but

00:36:08.260 it's not up for me. All I can tell you is I just quit it and opened it. It's the same.

00:36:16.540 And there doesn't seem to be a mode to get out of this. It's just infinite blank pages. Let's see if

00:36:25.860 other people are up. Yeah, Dave Rubin. I don't think so. I think we're just dead. Oh, wait a minute.

00:36:34.860 Something just came up. Hold on. Hello.

00:36:42.680 Nope. Only somebody else's Locals. Dave Rubin's is up.

00:36:48.060 That's interesting. It looks... Oh, Rumble is down too?

00:36:52.260 Oh. Oh, if Rumble is down, it's on the same servers. Okay. All right. Here, if you were going

00:36:58.760 to try to argue against ESG like Vivek Ramaswamy is, being smarter than the people you're talking

00:37:05.700 to is not the best strategy. Everything's down? Is it just Crowder is the only thing working

00:37:16.420 this morning? It's a good day for Crowder. Good going, Crowder.

00:37:21.940 So you're saying that Locals is working for some of you right now? That can't be. There's

00:37:36.940 no way that that could be true. I don't believe it could work for you and not work for me.

00:37:41.880 I mean, technically that's possible, but yeah, it's dead. Dead as a doornail.

00:37:51.940 Yeah, I don't even... It's... Yeah, it's dead. All right. If I were trying to fight against

00:37:58.520 ESG in, let's say, a Trump-like way, and I just tried to persuade, and I wasn't trying

00:38:03.320 to be, you know, technically accurate, I would come up with something else that ESG means that's

00:38:10.140 funnier than what it's supposed to mean. So how about ESG is extra-socialist government?

00:38:17.680 How do you like that one? Extra-socialist government for ESG? I don't think socialist

00:38:25.260 works, because the people who like ESG like socialism, so probably that wouldn't work.

00:38:33.440 How about saying ESG is reparations? How about that? No, you don't need reparations,

00:38:41.080 because that's what ESG is. It's big corporations trying to increase the number of people of color

00:38:47.640 and gender and everything else. So you don't need... So when reparations comes up, you just say,

00:38:54.520 oh, we already have that. It's called ESG. Because the people who don't know what ESG is also don't

00:39:01.540 know it's not reparations. So that would be a dirty trick, kind of unethical persuasion. But suppose the

00:39:10.540 only way you could kill a thing that's going to kill the country, because I think ESG could actually

00:39:15.140 end the country. Probably not, but it does have an extinction risk, because if you just can't get

00:39:22.760 out of this mode, your economy is just going to go right in the crapper. So if you had to do something

00:39:30.180 slightly unethical to get rid of something that is potentially the worst thing that's happened in the

00:39:35.920 country, is that still unethical? To use persuasion to get a good result if the persuasion is not exactly

00:39:47.760 honest. Because if you don't like persuasion that's not exactly honest, how could you ever vote for a

00:39:55.340 presidential campaign? Every presidential candidate persuades dishonestly. All of them. There's nobody

00:40:03.360 who doesn't. It's never been done. It's all dishonest. But we're okay with that. Why are we okay with

00:40:10.280 that? Everybody who votes votes for somebody they know lied. Everybody. Because they all lied.

00:40:15.820 So I'm not suggesting that you do anything unethical. It would be better to try to hold the line on the

00:40:23.920 ethical stuff. Try to be that person. But I don't know of an ethical way to stop ESG. Because if you

00:40:32.140 get into the ethical argument, you're where Vivek is, which he's trying to argue on the merits. And I don't

00:40:38.880 think he can, because the public is not sophisticated enough or interested enough to follow along.

00:40:45.520 Okay, I like these things, but you're saying it has this downside. How do I weigh the downside

00:40:51.480 versus the things I do like about it? Because I like the climate. You know, I just don't know that

00:40:58.500 you can win on logic. The only people who are going to buy the argument that ESG is bad for the economy

00:41:04.320 are people who have a background in that stuff. And they're already on that side. The people who have

00:41:11.920 a background in management probably all agree. You know, unless it's somebody who's signaling

00:41:18.580 on behalf of the company. Although I will say again, that in my opinion, Mark Benioff is the

00:41:25.480 real deal. It's just that other companies can't do what he's doing because he's insanely profitable.

00:41:32.320 Insanely profitable. So they can, you know, they can lead on this. So I like that. I like the fact

00:41:38.740 that he's, he knows he's insanely profitable so they can lead on things that he thinks needs some

00:41:43.760 leadership. Well, DeSantis did an interview with Pierce Morgan and said some things that made some news.

00:41:51.760 And of course, because it involves Trump, it is wildly taken out of context and just turned into something

00:42:01.480 important when it wasn't. So what DeSantis said was some mild, mild rebuke of Trump's style.

00:42:10.500 Very mild. So first of all, he did not come out and say, Trump should not be arrested. Which I think

00:42:20.300 Trump supporters needed to hear if they were ever going to support DeSantis for any reason. And I think

00:42:27.700 the fact that he didn't come out and just say, all right, no matter what you think of Trump,

00:42:33.660 this arrest is wrong. That's what people wanted him to say. And so the lack of saying that

00:42:39.720 looks like an ethical lapse, doesn't it? It seems like an ethical lapse, which is worse

00:42:48.260 than some other types of lapses. Because one of the things that DeSantis has going for him

00:42:53.500 is this fairly solid record of doing useful things that his base likes. So that's his strength.

00:43:03.680 The minute he gets into some of the other rhetoric stuff, he's not so strong.

00:43:09.720 So here are the mild things he said about Trump. And he pretty much confirmed he's planning

00:43:15.200 to run. But he hasn't announced. He said something like, if he were president, it would be drama

00:43:29.480 free. So that's like an indirect but kind of direct statement that he wouldn't have Trump's

00:43:38.280 baggage. Now, everybody knows that, right? Like that's pretty much the entire argument for DeSantis

00:43:47.220 is that he would be Trump-like without some of the negatives. But I don't think he's selling that.

00:43:57.780 When he says that Trump is drama, all you hear is, why is he attacking somebody on his own team? And why is

00:44:06.260 he doing it? Especially, why is he doing it when Trump might get arrested? Like the timing of his

00:44:12.120 criticism? Now, I don't criticize him for that. I think saying that he would not bring as much drama

00:44:20.640 as Trump at the same time Trump might be getting arrested. That feels like the right time to say

00:44:27.020 it, honestly. It doesn't feel like so much of an attack as it is a statement of what makes him

00:44:33.740 different. An attack would be something unfair. An attack isn't pointing out what we all see.

00:44:42.460 We all see that his value proposition is less drama, you know, with Trump-like sensibilities.

00:44:57.700 All right. Corporate DeSantis. Did Crowder actually crash rumble? Is that what happened?

00:45:04.740 Because his first day, he's going at the same time as I am.

00:45:14.240 Nicky Haley is Bolton with a weave. That's funny. The poor man's John Bolton.

00:45:21.340 All right. Well, I don't think, I'm not going to criticize DeSantis for his bad timing or his

00:45:27.420 comments about Trump, because I think they were mild, and they were

00:45:31.840 observably true, and he was asked questions about running. I don't think that he was thinking

00:45:41.960 about the timing when he said it. I think he was just answering a question. I'm okay with

00:45:46.500 that. I don't have a big problem with that. But it would be better if he had supported Republicans

00:45:52.160 in general against getting arrested for BS.

00:45:58.740 Mexican president had something to say about our situation.

00:46:01.840 I saw a tweet from Canacoa the Great. So he says that Mexico's President Amlau says

00:46:11.560 the United States cannot talk about human rights under these situations. Julian Assange is

00:46:18.780 detained. And I thought, that's sort of a good point. And he says, can't talk about cartel

00:46:26.180 violence when President Joe Biden is bombing the Nord Stream pipeline? That's not a bad point.

00:46:35.900 And then he says, we can't talk about democracy while we're arresting the leading presidential

00:46:41.760 candidate Donald Trump. And drop the mic. Yep. Mexico is high-grounding America.

00:46:55.720 Mexico, the cartel-ridden society, is making good points about how the United States isn't looking

00:47:04.360 that much better. Now, I think the cartel situation is worse than this stuff. But these are pretty

00:47:12.180 solid points. Pretty solid points. If you're arresting the president, leading presidential

00:47:17.420 candidate, you can't talk about democracy. You can't talk about democracy. You can't.

00:47:26.140 Sorry, that is taken away from you.

00:47:31.380 Let's talk about the charges.

00:47:32.900 Let's talk about the charges. If your charges are ever called loony, chances are you're not

00:47:39.860 going to prosecute. You're probably not going to get it. So let me explain the charges and

00:47:46.660 why it's a felony. Something about a misdemeanor that wasn't enough. Something about another thing

00:47:55.600 that's combined. Okay, I can't even understand the story. It's so stupid. There isn't a slightest

00:48:03.580 chance that these charges are going to pass any kind of higher challenge in a higher court. I don't

00:48:10.980 know what's going to happen locally. But there isn't a slightest chance this could work. So it's obviously

00:48:16.740 just political. We now know that everybody involved ran to get Trump before they even had a charge.

00:48:23.120 We know that they had to concoct a legal theory that other people say is just ridiculous. And we 0.79

00:48:32.700 know the timing is obviously political. It's just every part of this is just banana republic.

00:48:39.360 You know, there are definitely things about Trump that I would say, ooh, maybe you did need to look

00:48:45.180 into that. But this isn't one of them. This is not one of them. This is a pure political act,

00:48:51.780 which, if anything is working right, you should propel them into the presidency, just as a reaction.

00:49:01.360 Well, I saw a reference on Fox News that Michael Cohen had paid Stormy Daniels to keep her mouth shut.

00:49:15.280 That's the way Greg Jarrett said it, that Michael Cohen paid Stormy Daniels, a porn star, to keep her mouth shut. 0.97

00:49:25.640 Well, I thought Michael Cohen was a bit of a loser, but in the history of human civilization, 0.97

00:49:34.360 he's the first person who ever paid a porn star to keep her mouth shut. 0.99

00:49:37.500 First one. And I don't think he's doing anything right, as it turns out. Looks like he's doing

00:49:46.380 everything wrong. So keep an eye on that. I heard some mocking from Democrats because there were more

00:49:56.220 Trump haters who showed up to protest in New York than there were Trump supporters.

00:50:01.640 Huh. I wonder if there's anything in the environment that would cause Trump supporters

00:50:10.520 to not want to do a political protest in favor of Trump. Is there any factors that are going on

00:50:19.500 at the moment? Yeah. How about the fact that Trump protesters get put in jail for charges that don't look

00:50:26.980 sufficient? Yeah. I think that could be a reason why the crowds are a little weak.

00:50:34.000 They don't want to go to jail because we're not really a, you know, a serious country anymore.

00:50:40.180 All right. Here's a little story. Do you remember that country star Morgan Wallen? He got canceled

00:50:49.820 because there was some video of him that surfaced when he drunkenly used the N-word.

00:50:55.080 And it was shortly after some Black Lives Matter protest. And so he got canceled. And it wasn't

00:51:04.080 too long ago. It was 2021, I guess. But he has the number one hit right now. He has the number

00:51:11.180 one hit. And he's dominating the charts in general. Now, the question is, is it because I don't listen

00:51:19.020 to his music, so I'm not familiar, is he that good? And it's just good music, and that's the whole

00:51:24.760 story. Or is this the political right voting with their wallets to un-cancel him?

00:51:34.120 It feels like people are voting with their wallets, doesn't it? And they're just trying to balance

00:51:39.100 things out. It's like, well, he got canceled, but we don't think that was worthy of cancellation,

00:51:43.900 so we're going to bring him back. We're going to resurrect him. It looks like the political

00:51:48.040 right resurrected. And, you know, I can speak to this with some experience, which is there

00:51:53.740 is now a robust anti-cancellation industry. And that's really good. It certainly helped

00:52:04.000 me, because the moment I got canceled, offers started pouring in. You know, and so I didn't

00:52:10.240 realize that the, let's say, the protective economic wrapping that is immediately applied to

00:52:19.220 the canceled, if the people who like that canceled person think that was unfair. So the amount of

00:52:26.320 support that I got being canceled was shocking. Like, I didn't expect it. And the amount of economic

00:52:35.060 offers, very welcome. Didn't expect it. But more importantly, the existence of, you know, something

00:52:42.120 like a Rumble or Locals gives you some place that you can monetize your canceled situation.

00:52:48.040 And that is really, really important. I'll tell you, the contribution that Dave Rubin has made to

00:52:55.900 free speech, I think you should get, honestly, some kind of, like, what is the big award president?

00:53:05.040 Presidents give? What's that called? It's like the Freedom Award? What's the biggest non-military

00:53:12.460 award you can get? Not the Nobel, but an American Medal of Freedom? Yeah. I think if Trump gets

00:53:20.060 elected, Dave Rubin and, you know, the other founders of Locals and Rumble, too, I think they

00:53:28.640 should get medals of freedom. Because what they're doing is a substantial benefit to freedom of

00:53:37.260 speech. The practical freedom of speech. I get it that only the government can block your freedom

00:53:42.600 of speech. First Amendment, blah, blah, blah. I understand the Constitution. But in a practical way,

00:53:47.100 what they've done is make it safer for people to say what they want to say. And that's a big,

00:53:55.720 big deal. And I will be forever, I will have gratitude for that. Because it made a difference

00:54:02.860 in my life. Musk, too. Musk, too. Yes, thank you. Elon Musk's contribution to freedom of speech,

00:54:11.160 the practical side, not the constitutional side, but the practical side, is uncalculable. It's just

00:54:18.280 enormous. Yes. All right. Putin and President Xi of China met in a big show of support for each

00:54:34.760 other. And they put out five points that they agree on. And one of them was that, quote,

00:54:41.080 Russia and China strongly oppose violating interests of other countries to gain our own advantage.

00:54:48.900 I wonder if anybody's trying to do that. Is Russia trying to violate the interests of any countries?

00:54:56.580 Is China putting jets over Taiwan every single day? Well, how do Russia and China get to say something

00:55:07.040 this ballsy? Well, let me tell you. It's because Russia says Ukraine is part of Russia,

00:55:13.960 and China says Taiwan is part of China. It's easy. Yeah. You know what? I also,

00:55:20.760 I also believe that the United States should never conquer any other countries. We should never

00:55:27.060 conquer another country. Cuba's kind of part of America. I mean, if I'm being honest, Cuba is

00:55:32.880 basically Florida. So that doesn't count, because that's just part of America. So if we were to

00:55:38.900 militarily invade Cuba, I would say that is not violating the interests of another country. No. No,

00:55:45.780 no. That's unifying the existing country. Duh. Obviously. So that was funny. Why does war have

00:55:56.620 rules? Whenever there's a war, like a traditional war, and they have rules, even terrorists have

00:56:04.020 rules. Have you noticed that the terrorists only do certain kinds of terror? All right, I got to blow

00:56:10.180 something up, or maybe machine gun some people. But of the billion other things you could do, 0.97

00:56:18.120 they'll only do those things. Some kind of weird rule. Even terrorists have rules. It's the weirdest

00:56:25.560 thing. But now Putin is complaining, because the UK might, well, they confirmed, they're sending 0.58

00:56:33.660 munitions, ammunition containing depleted uranium. Now, the experts say that poses little or no risk

00:56:41.200 to humans, unless they get shot, of course. So it's not the kind of atomic problem of like a,

00:56:49.180 you know, nuclear breakdown or a nuclear war. But Putin's making a sound like this is part of,

00:56:54.900 you know, it's in the continuum with nuclear weapons. It isn't. It has nothing to do with

00:57:02.500 nuclear weapons. It's just in a scientific kind of way, you can imagine there's some connection to

00:57:08.220 it, right? Yeah, so the reason they use it, the depleted uranium is it can penetrate stuff more

00:57:15.820 effectively. So but Putin is warning, well, you know, we might have to, you know, respond in kind,

00:57:25.160 which makes you think, maybe nukes. But I predict no nukes. I just think it's weird that a war like

00:57:32.260 this would have rules. All right, we will use our drones to give you intel. But we won't give you our

00:57:38.960 best tanks. Yes, we will. But maybe somebody else's tanks. Basically, we're managing the war

00:57:47.800 like it's a game with rules. Why do wars have rules? Like, I understand why we do it. But it

00:57:58.400 just seems like it's making a war look nonsensical. It makes the lives of the people dying look ridiculous. 0.97

00:58:04.700 It makes it look like a waste. If you're not going to play to win, I don't know, maybe you 0.73

00:58:10.600 shouldn't start a war. So I guess the point of war, modern war, is trying to convince the public

00:58:17.500 that the other side is violating those rules. And whoa, you violated those war crime rules. So

00:58:23.640 what kind of a war are you fighting? That's not a fair war. Sure, we're blowing human beings to

00:58:30.300 bits every day. But that's not the bad problem. The bad problem is you didn't follow the rules.

00:58:35.800 Like, nobody's saying, what about the Ukrainians that were ripped apart by artillery? You know,

00:58:41.600 their bodies just ripped apart. Well, that's not the big problem. The big problem is you might have

00:58:47.440 cheated a little bit on the unspoken rules about what this war is and what it isn't. We don't want

00:58:52.540 you cheating on those rules. We'll just blow human beings into bits. Because that's allowed. 0.98

00:58:57.900 That's allowed. That's allowed under the rules.

00:59:02.880 So Rasmussen did a poll on Ukraine. And at the moment, 50% of likely U.S. voters believe the

00:59:10.940 Russian invasion of Ukraine has made America's national security situation worse, up from 42%.

00:59:17.120 How could it have made it better? I mean, I think it looks worse.

00:59:25.500 45% believe it would be better for American interest if Ukraine keeps fighting until the

00:59:33.760 Russian invasion is completely defeated. So almost half the country thinks the best path

00:59:38.960 is fighting until Russia is completely defeated. Sounds a little bit risky. It's easy to say

00:59:45.820 if you're not in the war. 41% think it would be better if Ukraine negotiates for peace.

00:59:54.380 So, and apparently the Democrats are more for the war than the Republicans. That's quite a switch,

01:00:00.600 isn't it? Have we seen something like a complete switch now? The liberals that became the conservatives

01:00:07.380 and the conservatives became the liberals. Because it used to be that the Republicans liked war

01:00:12.200 and the Democrats were protesting it. Now it's the Democrats like this war and the Republicans

01:00:18.600 are more, more resistant.

01:00:25.600 Yeah. Let me give one more try to locals. It's not like it makes a difference at this point.

01:00:31.700 Nope. Still down. Or at least mine is down. There's new science that says life probably

01:00:43.520 came from asteroids. We've got these asteroids that I think Japan was able to get some samples

01:00:50.760 from the asteroid, which is kind of impressive by itself, that you can get samples from an asteroid.

01:00:55.480 And it's got, let's see, they found uracil, one of the building blocks of RNA, as well as

01:01:04.400 vitamin B3 or niacin. So these are factors which an organic creature would need. So there's more

01:01:12.140 evidence that life originated from meteors and asteroids hitting the Earth. Now here's my question

01:01:21.300 to you, for those of you who like science, but also like God. If science goes further, and I don't

01:01:30.860 think they're there yet, but if they prove that life, let's say prove to your satisfaction, that life

01:01:37.460 came from asteroids, what would that do to your belief that God created humans? Would you just say,

01:01:45.840 well, that's how he did it? He just brought some asteroids to Earth, combined them, and just waited?

01:01:52.540 Or would you say, oh, I denounced my religion, because science has proven that life just came

01:01:59.100 from asteroids? Or would you say, well, God created whatever life that stuff came from? Or would

01:02:09.020 you say it's not from asteroids after all? See, I think that religion is going to come under 0.99

01:02:14.880 challenge from this, where we actually, suppose we actually grab enough stuff from meteors someday

01:02:22.960 to assemble a living creature. What about that? Because I think, you know, the only God can

01:02:30.940 make a tree thing. I feel like we're maybe 20 years away from just combining chemicals and

01:02:38.280 creating a creature. What then? You know, would you still think that God did it? Or would you

01:02:44.860 think an advanced civilization of humans did it? Or some creatures that were just smart?

01:02:50.080 Well, I think AI is going to challenge us on consciousness and sentience and soul. And I

01:02:57.280 think this is going to challenge religion on how did it all get started. I don't think people

01:03:02.720 are going to give up religion. They'll probably just interpret it in a way that keeps a religion.

01:03:09.340 That's what I think. They'll just interpret it that way. Has Trump been arrested yet? Is that still

01:03:15.320 on? Does anybody know? Who created the simulation, Scott? Well, I believe that we live in a circular

01:03:25.480 reality, which means that everything that happens will happen again. We just have to go in a full

01:03:35.140 circle. For example, the universe, you know, starts and expands. But at some point, it's going to have

01:03:42.400 to, say the scientists, will contract back into the singularity. So if that's the case, that means that

01:03:51.260 everything's like a repeating loop. If everything is a repeating loop, nothing had a beginning.

01:03:59.380 Time doesn't have a beginning because it's continuous in a circle. If something's continuous

01:04:08.140 in a circle and the very same things come into being over and over again, not a different set

01:04:13.160 of things, the same things, then it means that we are always caused by a higher level entity

01:04:21.940 and they are always caused by something before that caused by something before. So in other words,

01:04:27.440 people could cause people. It's possible. People could cause people. So there's always a person

01:04:38.500 before. You just have to follow the circle back as, oh, this is before this, this is before this,

01:04:43.920 but also this is after this. So it could be that our notion of time doesn't make sense.

01:04:49.380 So I'm more likely to think, see, the problem is, if you say God created it, you've just reproduced

01:04:56.520 the problem because, you know, who created God? And then if you want to make it go away,

01:05:00.440 say, well, God is timeless. Okay, I don't know what that means. But here's how God could be timeless.

01:05:07.500 If we were to create a video game in which the creatures in it believed they were real,

01:05:14.000 the time in our life as the creators of the simulation would not be the same time that the

01:05:20.860 simulation experiences. For example, the simulation could experience an entire infinity, or let's say

01:05:27.720 from the Big Bang through the year 2023. It's possible that a simulation could compress that into

01:05:34.680 10 minutes. So that the time of, you know, the God-like creatures who created the simulation

01:05:40.880 would be a whole different time. We would be outside of time and unaffected by time that's in

01:05:47.980 the simulation. So yeah, it might be that God is just the creator, and it's outside of time.

01:05:54.320 All right. God is everything. How many of you have ever read my book, God's Debris? Is

01:06:09.780 there anybody here who's read God's Debris? Because if you want to see an alternative view

01:06:14.320 that's not any of the stuff I mentioned today, so it'd be outside of that. If you want to see

01:06:20.320 a view of God that you have never seen before, but many people say it blew their mind and it was

01:06:27.860 the best book they ever read. It's called God's Debris. Now, I don't know if you can buy it anymore.

01:06:33.000 It might be hard to get in a bookstore because I'm so cancelled, but it's free on the internet.

01:06:38.520 I made it free before I made it available for purchase. So I think if you just Google

01:06:44.560 free download of God's Debris, you can find it. If you're wondering if I'm trying to make

01:06:50.160 money. I'm always trying to make money, but you can have it for free if you like. I made

01:06:55.780 that available, so, I mean, that's on me.

01:07:02.620 Did Andrew Tate deliver you a package and have a chat? No. Why would you think he would?

01:07:08.460 Did somebody tell you that he did?

01:07:09.700 But no, we've never chatted. I don't think you can chat with anyone. Oh, it blew your mind,

01:07:19.080 my book. Good. All right. It's turtles all the way down. All right, I'm going to go see

01:07:26.740 if I can figure out what's wrong with the locals app. Yes, Einstein said that time is an illusion.

01:07:37.420 Space-time is all that exists. All right, that's all for now. Thanks for joining. It's our smallest

01:07:50.600 live stream yet, but I'll talk to you tomorrow.
