Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2058 Scott Adams： Looking For ＂Good＂ Trump Indictment, Race Grifter Democrats, TikTok

00:00:00.920 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization.

00:00:05.980 It's Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:07.260 There's never been a finer or more valuable time.

00:00:11.540 And if you'd like to enjoy this moment at the maximum potential,

00:00:16.760 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chelsea stein,

00:00:20.020 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:23.580 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:25.720 I like coffee.

00:00:26.720 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine.

00:00:29.700 At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:31.280 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen now.

00:00:34.820 Go.

00:00:38.700 That was good.

00:00:39.980 Yeah.

00:00:40.380 Well done.

00:00:41.180 Your simultaneity is better than ever.

00:00:47.900 Well, in case you were wondering,

00:00:51.240 some of you heard there were some technical problems on the locals' platform.

00:00:56.720 Here's the good news.

00:00:58.640 Apparently, the cause of the technical problems is unprecedented traffic.

00:01:04.500 So the locals and rumble, now that locals and rumble are combined,

00:01:09.540 apparently they're just getting crushed with new traffic.

00:01:12.280 Steven Crowder is a big part of that.

00:01:14.760 Probably has to do with Russell Brand.

00:01:18.460 And probably has to do with, you know,

00:01:20.920 this show got a lot more attention lately for obvious reasons.

00:01:23.840 So that's the good news.

00:01:26.560 Tons of traffic are flowing into the free speech parts of the world.

00:01:31.220 This is how the free market is supposed to work, right?

00:01:36.780 This is one of the most breathtaking examples

00:01:39.380 of a free market correction I've ever seen.

00:01:42.460 Because it was maybe three years ago

00:01:47.420 that if you got cancelled, you were just dead.

00:01:50.680 Cancelled, men cancelled.

00:01:52.380 You were just off the field.

00:01:54.620 And now cancelled means that you simply go to another ecosystem.

00:01:58.780 And the other ecosystem can be bigger than the one you left,

00:02:02.260 or at least, you know, more interesting and more dynamic for you.

00:02:05.580 So, I mean, I feel like a standing ovation for, you know, Rick Rubin

00:02:12.700 and, you know, everybody who's, or Dave, I'm sorry, Dave Rubin.

00:02:18.820 For Dave Rubin, I give my Rubin's mix-up.

00:02:24.240 This is really an amazing thing that he did.

00:02:27.020 I'm not sure history will quite capture the size

00:02:30.900 of what this is to freedom of speech.

00:02:34.860 I mean, it's just, it's impressive.

00:02:39.160 Yeah, all right.

00:02:43.120 Peggy Noonan, who you might know as one of the best writers,

00:02:47.100 well, just one of the best writers,

00:02:49.120 but more noted for politics than other things.

00:02:52.020 And do you have the same feeling

00:02:56.180 that when dumb people mock Trump,

00:03:00.900 it's just sort of annoying and interesting,

00:03:03.580 but when really smart people get a bad case of TDS,

00:03:08.760 it's much more interesting

00:03:10.340 because the smart people have to work harder

00:03:13.400 to make sure that their cognitive distance

00:03:16.760 is fitting in with their worldview.

00:03:18.540 So, as we're seeing the Manhattan charges against Trump

00:03:24.900 just disappear under the light,

00:03:28.020 as soon as you shine a light on,

00:03:29.620 well, what is it that this Alvin Bragg is trying to do?

00:03:33.760 Can you explain exactly the charge?

00:03:36.900 And as soon as you shine light on it,

00:03:38.460 it just goes, shh, it just disappears.

00:03:41.320 There's just nothing there.

00:03:43.800 But here's what Peggy Noonan has retreated to.

00:03:48.540 All right?

00:03:49.480 So that they still have hope

00:03:51.400 and that you can always stay with your base assumption

00:03:54.700 that orange man bad.

00:03:56.760 And as long as that's true,

00:03:58.180 that orange man's bad,

00:03:59.640 you can change all of the interpretations

00:04:02.960 and the filters around it,

00:04:04.380 just as long as you don't change the base assumption

00:04:07.380 that orange man is bad.

00:04:09.260 And here's how I'm seeing people doing it.

00:04:11.700 Peggy Noonan says in the Wall Street Journal,

00:04:15.720 the question is,

00:04:16.960 are we doing the wise thing?

00:04:18.980 In other words, chasing this Manhattan Alvin Bragg thing?

00:04:22.460 No.

00:04:23.020 Hold your fire.

00:04:24.620 Save the mugshot for Georgia.

00:04:26.700 The handcuffs for January 6th.

00:04:28.900 Those were real offenses against the country,

00:04:31.320 not Stormy Daniels,

00:04:32.780 which was an offense against his wife.

00:04:34.600 Now, has nobody mentioned to the Democrats,

00:04:41.940 including Peggy,

00:04:43.740 well, I don't think she's a Democrat,

00:04:45.520 but has nobody mentioned to the anti-Trumpers

00:04:48.260 that these other charges are even weaker?

00:04:52.920 Even weaker?

00:04:53.600 Do you think Trump is going to be blamed

00:04:57.140 for violence on January 6th

00:04:59.600 when the only evidence,

00:05:01.260 only evidence, as he said,

00:05:03.040 protests peacefully?

00:05:05.380 Protests peacefully?

00:05:06.920 That's the only thing he said in public

00:05:08.800 about the protests,

00:05:10.460 to do it peacefully.

00:05:12.220 How in the world is that going to be a crime?

00:05:15.240 They think that's a bigger crime

00:05:16.560 than some money that went to Stormy Daniels?

00:05:19.780 They're both nothings.

00:05:21.780 They're complete nothings.

00:05:22.700 How about the Georgia case

00:05:24.280 where he, quote,

00:05:27.020 pressured people to rig the election?

00:05:30.940 There's nothing like that in the evidence.

00:05:34.760 There's only evidence he asked him to find votes,

00:05:37.960 clearly suggesting that everything he said before then,

00:05:41.980 everything he said after that,

00:05:43.380 is the same page.

00:05:44.760 He believes that the votes were miscounted

00:05:47.380 or there were irregularities.

00:05:49.320 So given that his entire consistent theme,

00:05:53.780 which he's never once let up on,

00:05:56.520 is that it was rigged,

00:05:58.500 find votes does not sound like cheat.

00:06:02.140 If you're a jury,

00:06:03.440 are you possibly going to find

00:06:04.800 that in his mind,

00:06:06.940 he only meant to cheat?

00:06:09.160 When every bit of evidence in public

00:06:11.620 suggests he really, really believes

00:06:13.540 the election was rigged

00:06:15.060 and there might be some votes sitting around

00:06:17.160 that haven't been counted.

00:06:19.380 Now, you could argue,

00:06:21.120 but Scott, you don't know what he was thinking.

00:06:23.700 But that's my point.

00:06:25.600 That's my point.

00:06:26.940 If you don't know what he's thinking,

00:06:29.220 he's not guilty of anything.

00:06:31.440 That's the way the system works.

00:06:32.940 You can't be guilty of thinking stuff.

00:06:36.100 Or you can't be guilty

00:06:37.640 because people imagine

00:06:38.720 you were thinking something.

00:06:40.500 There's no standard for that.

00:06:43.500 So you would have to say,

00:06:44.860 what did he actually say or do

00:06:47.320 that suggests that his state of mind

00:06:50.180 was he wants you to cheat

00:06:51.660 to make him win.

00:06:52.720 And there's no evidence of that.

00:06:54.480 There's not a single bit of evidence

00:06:56.420 consistent with the theory

00:06:58.300 that he wanted people to cheat.

00:06:59.680 And there's every evidence

00:07:01.880 that he wanted them to find out

00:07:04.280 if there had been cheating.

00:07:06.440 So, am I wrong?

00:07:09.980 Am I suffering for some kind of reverse TDS

00:07:13.320 where I'm excusing

00:07:15.060 or putting the best spin on things?

00:07:18.300 Because I don't think so.

00:07:20.560 I think if you ask any independent person,

00:07:23.740 let's say if you ask Jonathan Turley

00:07:26.120 or Alan Dershowitz,

00:07:27.400 I guess you can decide

00:07:29.340 how independent they are.

00:07:31.060 But they typically are the ones

00:07:32.880 who don't seem to be affected

00:07:35.640 by the politics of the legal opinions.

00:07:38.660 Their legal opinions always seem to me

00:07:40.440 like just legal opinions.

00:07:43.440 Do you think that either of them

00:07:44.600 think he's in trouble?

00:07:46.000 I mean, he might be in trouble

00:07:46.880 because anything could go wrong.

00:07:48.780 But the case is a nothing.

00:07:51.120 They're all nothings.

00:07:52.420 So we actually have this weird situation

00:07:54.260 where the smartest anti-Trumpers

00:07:56.380 have found three turds.

00:07:59.800 You know, the Stormy Daniels payment,

00:08:01.580 the Georgia find the votes,

00:08:03.400 and they protest peacefully.

00:08:05.660 They've got three legal turds,

00:08:07.500 and they're trying to decide

00:08:08.520 which is the good one.

00:08:11.920 Let's see.

00:08:13.380 These are three delicious-looking turds here.

00:08:15.560 But let's...

00:08:17.560 No.

00:08:20.180 Try this one.

00:08:22.900 Maybe.

00:08:25.860 Ah.

00:08:28.300 There's the good one.

00:08:31.320 So let me make a prediction.

00:08:34.980 We want to hear a prediction?

00:08:35.820 In whatever order

00:08:38.480 the three turds are adjudicated,

00:08:42.240 you know, I don't know

00:08:43.120 if one will start and finish

00:08:44.860 before another one is done,

00:08:46.300 but no matter what order

00:08:47.660 they finish in,

00:08:49.760 the Democrats will say

00:08:50.980 that whatever is the third one

00:08:52.460 that is not yet settled,

00:08:54.260 that's the good one.

00:08:56.020 That's the good turd.

00:08:57.880 Oh.

00:08:58.880 Oh, it looks like the January 6th thing

00:09:01.120 will be the last thing decided.

00:09:02.780 So, well, it's a good thing

00:09:04.680 that's the good turd.

00:09:06.440 Because all the other ones,

00:09:07.720 well, sure, they were...

00:09:09.140 We felt good about them for a while,

00:09:10.980 but they weren't as good

00:09:12.660 as we thought.

00:09:13.800 But that third turd,

00:09:16.380 turd three,

00:09:17.540 mmm, delicious.

00:09:19.600 We can live forever on this one.

00:09:21.600 Mmm.

00:09:24.240 Turd time's a charm.

00:09:26.420 Somebody said.

00:09:30.380 All right.

00:09:31.600 The three illegal turds.

00:09:33.860 That's my...

00:09:35.060 I would like to offer that

00:09:36.220 as my reframing for the day.

00:09:42.120 So,

00:09:42.880 here's a, like,

00:09:44.660 permanent headline.

00:09:47.180 I'm going to add this

00:09:48.120 to my other permanent headline,

00:09:49.640 which did not happen,

00:09:51.060 but it could have.

00:09:52.180 This could have happened today.

00:09:54.120 So here's a imaginary headline

00:09:56.680 that could have happened today.

00:09:58.080 The Pope speaks out against war.

00:10:03.000 Yeah.

00:10:03.800 Could have happened.

00:10:05.060 It could have happened,

00:10:06.140 and it would have been a headline.

00:10:09.180 But here's another one like that.

00:10:11.040 There's fighting in Syria.

00:10:12.700 Of course there's fighting in Syria.

00:10:20.600 So some Iranian-backed forces

00:10:24.140 struck some American forces,

00:10:25.900 and then the American forces

00:10:28.300 are striking back,

00:10:29.600 and I guess we've got to show

00:10:31.240 we're still the important force there.

00:10:33.940 Now, what gets interesting

00:10:36.300 is Russia.

00:10:38.840 Because Russia's involved in Syria,

00:10:40.900 but they don't really want Iran

00:10:42.320 to control.

00:10:43.900 But yet,

00:10:45.300 Russia needs Iran

00:10:46.260 to give them drones.

00:10:48.500 So Russia needs to

00:10:49.640 control Iran and Syria,

00:10:51.900 but work with them.

00:10:54.500 It's getting pretty dicey

00:10:55.680 to be cancelled

00:10:57.680 on the world stage.

00:10:58.720 You don't have many people

00:10:59.400 to work with.

00:11:00.480 Lots of bad choices.

00:11:01.520 And it also makes me wonder

00:11:05.160 if part of our war strategy

00:11:07.720 is not to make Iran

00:11:11.120 look like they're already,

00:11:12.940 like they're on the brink of war.

00:11:15.800 All right?

00:11:16.860 Now, I haven't heard anybody

00:11:17.860 say this strategy yet,

00:11:19.100 so maybe you can correct me.

00:11:20.480 Is there anybody

00:11:20.900 who's already on to this point?

00:11:22.380 So the point is this.

00:11:24.020 Wouldn't it make sense

00:11:25.400 to put pressure on Iran

00:11:28.020 so they thought there was

00:11:28.960 going to be a war

00:11:29.660 in which Iran would be

00:11:30.900 fighting the war

00:11:31.680 really soon?

00:11:34.920 Because that would make them

00:11:36.100 keep all their weapons

00:11:36.980 and not sell them to Russia.

00:11:39.920 Has anybody come up

00:11:41.580 with that theory yet?

00:11:43.040 Now, the most likely thing

00:11:44.780 is that we're just responding

00:11:45.800 to their attack.

00:11:47.580 Probably just responding

00:11:48.580 to attack.

00:11:49.240 That's all it is.

00:11:50.480 But on the other hand,

00:11:51.740 from a military perspective,

00:11:53.900 do you think they'd be

00:11:54.680 less likely to sell

00:11:56.060 all their drones

00:11:57.000 if they thought they might

00:11:58.920 need them for their own war?

00:11:59.960 I think we might be

00:12:03.460 getting a twofer.

00:12:05.160 It's probably not

00:12:06.140 a big plan,

00:12:07.260 but I think the twofer

00:12:08.200 might be that we're

00:12:09.560 responding to this

00:12:10.780 Iran-backed entity,

00:12:12.240 but we might want to

00:12:13.560 make a bigger deal of it

00:12:14.780 than we ordinarily

00:12:15.700 would have.

00:12:16.760 Because if you make

00:12:17.540 a bigger deal of it,

00:12:19.420 Iran's going to think

00:12:20.300 twice about giving away

00:12:21.420 any of their weapons

00:12:22.220 or selling any of their

00:12:23.200 weapons.

00:12:23.600 They're going to need them.

00:12:24.160 So, it might be.

00:12:27.280 We might be cleverly

00:12:29.760 playing that.

00:12:34.240 Can we now conclude,

00:12:36.760 as the month of March

00:12:38.180 is drawing to a close,

00:12:40.360 are you all willing

00:12:42.380 to conclude that Europe

00:12:43.740 got through the winter

00:12:44.560 without freezing?

00:12:46.800 Can you say that out loud

00:12:48.460 now in full voice?

00:12:49.740 Yes, Scott,

00:12:51.760 your prediction

00:12:52.920 was the correct one.

00:12:55.720 Despite lots of challenges,

00:12:58.460 Europe survived the winter

00:12:59.900 such that we did not

00:13:02.140 have to surrender

00:13:03.080 to Russia.

00:13:05.380 I might be the only person

00:13:06.880 who said that.

00:13:07.980 Can you think of anybody

00:13:08.900 else who said

00:13:09.480 we'll be fine?

00:13:10.480 Not fine,

00:13:11.940 but that Europe

00:13:12.820 would get through the winter.

00:13:14.120 There would be adjustments.

00:13:15.700 And I was just reading

00:13:16.420 about some of the adjustments.

00:13:17.380 One Wall Street Journal

00:13:19.480 was talking about

00:13:20.080 one German company

00:13:21.040 that managed to cut

00:13:23.160 their, I think,

00:13:24.640 gas use by 30%

00:13:26.700 just by re-engineering

00:13:29.860 their processes.

00:13:31.540 How many other

00:13:32.920 European companies

00:13:35.440 do you think

00:13:36.560 did something like that

00:13:37.720 where they said,

00:13:39.020 well, we weren't going

00:13:39.700 to do this

00:13:40.220 because energy was cheap,

00:13:41.420 but we'll re-engineer things

00:13:42.840 so we never use

00:13:43.640 that much energy?

00:13:45.100 Probably a lot.

00:13:46.560 Probably a lot.

00:13:47.080 You know,

00:13:47.580 it might be

00:13:48.020 that there's something

00:13:48.640 like, you know,

00:13:49.700 maybe there's a lasting

00:13:50.580 10% cut in fuel usage

00:13:54.800 just because they're

00:13:55.440 more efficient

00:13:55.920 because they had to be.

00:13:57.300 So I think it was

00:13:57.960 a whole bunch of things.

00:13:58.820 They were getting sources

00:13:59.780 from different places.

00:14:00.980 They were decreasing

00:14:02.180 their use,

00:14:02.820 but they were also

00:14:03.420 optimizing their efficiency.

00:14:05.920 And they did that

00:14:07.180 all in less than one year.

00:14:10.600 Would you say

00:14:11.220 that one year

00:14:12.560 was all the more,

00:14:13.800 because they had

00:14:14.740 about one year

00:14:15.420 to know that there

00:14:16.120 was a big risk.

00:14:17.080 Right?

00:14:18.480 So in one year

00:14:19.480 they did,

00:14:20.280 yeah,

00:14:20.520 the Adams Law

00:14:21.200 of Slow-Moving Disasters.

00:14:23.060 We're finding

00:14:23.820 the edge case.

00:14:25.280 Because remember

00:14:25.620 I told you

00:14:26.040 that was probably

00:14:26.560 an edge situation?

00:14:28.760 I'm not sure

00:14:29.460 if one year

00:14:30.040 really is enough,

00:14:31.460 but it was

00:14:32.040 for something

00:14:32.820 gigantic.

00:14:36.480 Yeah,

00:14:37.020 for something gigantic.

00:14:37.960 so that's good news.

00:14:40.400 So that's good news.

00:14:41.080 And once again,

00:14:42.100 I got the,

00:14:43.240 I was the only one

00:14:43.900 who guessed that right,

00:14:45.660 despite my complete

00:14:46.820 lack of information

00:14:47.680 about the,

00:14:49.240 John Carroll.

00:14:53.360 Did I help you?

00:14:54.860 Oh,

00:14:55.860 well that's very nice.

00:14:57.040 Apparently I've taken

00:14:57.820 the time to help

00:14:58.600 you,

00:15:00.300 and you're grateful.

00:15:01.920 Well,

00:15:02.080 I appreciate that.

00:15:02.740 I try to be helpful

00:15:07.200 when I can,

00:15:09.880 believe it or not.

00:15:13.540 So here's my take

00:15:15.080 on

00:15:16.700 everything is racist.

00:15:19.520 Have you noticed

00:15:20.460 that

00:15:20.880 race

00:15:22.800 just went to the top

00:15:24.860 of the headlines

00:15:25.660 and is just staying there?

00:15:26.740 More so than ever.

00:15:28.140 Have you noticed that

00:15:28.820 just this last week or so?

00:15:30.320 Last couple weeks.

00:15:31.280 In fact,

00:15:32.540 trending on

00:15:33.660 Twitter

00:15:35.140 has been

00:15:36.240 whites.

00:15:37.740 The word

00:15:38.520 whites.

00:15:39.700 And I think

00:15:40.200 at one point

00:15:40.720 black

00:15:41.280 or blacks

00:15:42.520 was trending.

00:15:43.780 So I mean,

00:15:44.180 things are getting

00:15:44.680 really raw on Twitter.

00:15:46.440 The racial

00:15:47.420 conversation

00:15:48.600 is getting

00:15:49.140 clarified,

00:15:50.140 shall we say.

00:15:51.580 And

00:15:52.040 how much of that

00:15:53.340 is because of me?

00:15:55.640 You tell me.

00:15:57.240 How much

00:15:57.780 is this because

00:15:59.120 when I blew up

00:16:00.320 everything blew up?

00:16:01.960 Because it doesn't

00:16:02.980 look like

00:16:03.800 the normal

00:16:04.360 conversation

00:16:05.000 we were having

00:16:05.520 one month ago.

00:16:06.980 It looks like

00:16:07.880 it's up

00:16:08.320 to a level

00:16:10.040 of white

00:16:10.900 acts.

00:16:14.520 In the comments,

00:16:16.060 somebody's

00:16:16.640 suggesting that

00:16:17.360 white people

00:16:18.600 change their

00:16:19.860 label to

00:16:20.520 white acts.

00:16:21.100 so it gets

00:16:22.540 more

00:16:22.840 just to be

00:16:30.500 assholes.

00:16:34.900 Okay.

00:16:35.960 I'm pretty

00:16:36.680 sure I'm going

00:16:37.160 to take that

00:16:37.640 suggestion.

00:16:40.260 I think

00:16:40.940 white people

00:16:41.440 should insist

00:16:43.140 that people

00:16:43.980 call them

00:16:44.460 white acts.

00:16:45.760 Just insist.

00:16:47.420 And just

00:16:47.840 really just

00:16:48.520 be assholes

00:16:49.120 about it.

00:16:50.140 Just every

00:16:51.140 moment you

00:16:51.620 go,

00:16:51.980 wait,

00:16:52.460 what did

00:16:53.040 you call

00:16:53.380 me?

00:16:55.320 White.

00:16:56.880 Oh my

00:16:57.560 God.

00:16:58.560 That is

00:16:59.160 pretty big

00:16:59.960 in it.

00:17:00.760 I'm white

00:17:01.380 ex,

00:17:02.820 which includes

00:17:03.620 all the

00:17:04.060 intersectional

00:17:05.000 white people.

00:17:06.840 I'm part of

00:17:07.520 the people

00:17:08.040 who are

00:17:08.500 white and

00:17:10.020 straight,

00:17:10.620 white and

00:17:11.040 gay,

00:17:12.160 white and

00:17:12.520 LGBTQ in

00:17:13.740 every way.

00:17:14.660 I'm white

00:17:15.360 ex.

00:17:16.140 Do not

00:17:16.740 try to lump

00:17:17.440 me with

00:17:17.740 just white

00:17:18.720 people.

00:17:20.600 Because you

00:17:21.140 know what?

00:17:21.420 White people

00:17:21.860 are racists.

00:17:23.000 I don't

00:17:23.260 want any

00:17:23.520 part of

00:17:23.820 that.

00:17:24.320 I'm

00:17:24.500 white ex.

00:17:26.200 All right,

00:17:26.520 well,

00:17:26.800 I ran a

00:17:28.680 little poll

00:17:29.520 to ask

00:17:30.280 what was

00:17:31.000 the main

00:17:31.580 causes of

00:17:33.520 systemic

00:17:34.040 racism,

00:17:35.100 or just

00:17:35.480 racism.

00:17:36.600 And the

00:17:37.760 choices were

00:17:38.440 Democrats,

00:17:39.200 Republicans,

00:17:40.120 climate change,

00:17:41.080 and teachers

00:17:41.500 unions.

00:17:42.600 And the

00:17:43.140 winner was

00:17:43.520 Democrats

00:17:44.060 by such

00:17:46.760 a large

00:17:47.100 margin that

00:17:47.680 the other

00:17:47.940 ones don't

00:17:48.300 matter.

00:17:49.760 And so

00:17:50.400 I have a

00:17:51.020 reframe for

00:17:53.220 you.

00:17:53.580 You ready?

00:17:54.860 Here's your

00:17:55.340 reframe,

00:17:56.140 second one of

00:17:56.760 the day.

00:17:57.760 Here's your

00:17:58.160 reframe.

00:17:58.880 It's coming

00:17:59.280 at you.

00:18:00.320 You know

00:18:00.680 how a

00:18:02.040 regulated

00:18:02.600 industry ends

00:18:03.880 up being

00:18:04.260 captured?

00:18:05.100 That's the

00:18:05.520 word they

00:18:05.880 use.

00:18:06.380 It's

00:18:06.640 captured.

00:18:07.680 And what

00:18:08.100 they mean

00:18:08.480 is that the

00:18:09.040 people who

00:18:09.460 are supposed

00:18:09.760 to regulate

00:18:10.320 the industry,

00:18:11.520 let's say

00:18:12.000 the FDA

00:18:12.860 or something

00:18:14.340 like that,

00:18:15.140 if you know

00:18:16.060 that they're

00:18:16.480 getting either

00:18:17.180 money from

00:18:18.540 the people

00:18:19.040 that they're

00:18:19.520 regulated from

00:18:20.320 or they're

00:18:21.460 going to have

00:18:21.740 a nice job

00:18:22.540 afterwards with

00:18:23.400 the companies

00:18:23.920 they're regulated

00:18:24.580 with,

00:18:25.260 then the

00:18:25.920 regulators are

00:18:26.700 not really

00:18:27.240 regulating.

00:18:28.540 They're sort

00:18:29.140 of doing

00:18:29.440 whatever the

00:18:30.060 regulated

00:18:31.120 industry wants

00:18:31.940 them to do

00:18:32.420 because that's

00:18:32.940 their personal

00:18:33.420 interest to do

00:18:34.060 that.

00:18:34.940 Now that

00:18:35.240 would be

00:18:35.500 called

00:18:35.780 captured.

00:18:37.300 So they

00:18:37.700 would be

00:18:38.020 captured

00:18:38.620 regulators.

00:18:40.320 So I

00:18:41.360 just like

00:18:41.700 that word

00:18:42.040 captured

00:18:42.540 because it

00:18:44.000 really tells

00:18:44.520 the story

00:18:44.900 they're

00:18:45.120 captured.

00:18:45.940 So I'm

00:18:46.460 going to

00:18:46.560 use that

00:18:47.000 phrase in

00:18:47.520 a slightly

00:18:48.020 different

00:18:48.320 sense.

00:18:49.540 In my

00:18:49.820 opinion,

00:18:50.960 the problem

00:18:51.560 with the

00:18:53.120 whole country

00:18:53.740 is that the

00:18:55.400 Democrat Party

00:18:56.240 has been

00:18:56.660 captured by

00:18:57.400 race grifters.

00:18:59.680 The

00:18:59.840 Democrats are

00:19:00.560 not even

00:19:01.020 free to be

00:19:01.840 Democrats

00:19:02.300 anymore.

00:19:03.580 You know,

00:19:03.920 I feel like

00:19:04.700 it's unfair

00:19:05.400 at this point

00:19:06.140 to say

00:19:06.940 Democrats are

00:19:08.400 a basket

00:19:08.940 case because

00:19:10.260 it's not

00:19:10.680 all of

00:19:11.020 them.

00:19:12.580 That's weird

00:19:13.360 coming from

00:19:13.880 me, but

00:19:14.940 have I told

00:19:15.600 you before

00:19:16.060 that when

00:19:16.420 you talk

00:19:16.780 about a

00:19:17.100 group of

00:19:17.480 people, you

00:19:17.880 never really

00:19:18.460 mean all

00:19:18.880 of them.

00:19:20.200 Nobody ever

00:19:20.940 means all

00:19:21.460 of them.

00:19:22.480 When you

00:19:22.980 say black

00:19:23.600 people like

00:19:24.220 hip-hop

00:19:24.580 music, it

00:19:25.120 doesn't mean

00:19:25.580 all of them.

00:19:26.600 It never

00:19:26.980 means all

00:19:27.460 of them.

00:19:28.380 When you

00:19:28.660 say white

00:19:29.100 people are

00:19:29.720 racist, it

00:19:31.340 never means

00:19:31.820 all of them.

00:19:32.680 Ever.

00:19:33.580 Ever.

00:19:34.560 Ever.

00:19:35.800 I guess I'll

00:19:36.300 say that too

00:19:36.780 many times.

00:19:37.840 So Democrats

00:19:38.720 are mostly

00:19:39.620 good people,

00:19:40.880 in my

00:19:41.520 opinion, as

00:19:42.960 Republicans are

00:19:43.780 mostly good

00:19:44.300 people, but

00:19:45.540 the Democrat

00:19:46.560 Party is

00:19:47.360 captured by

00:19:49.420 race grifters.

00:19:51.480 And once

00:19:52.440 you're captured,

00:19:53.940 everybody has to

00:19:54.540 act like a

00:19:55.020 race grifter.

00:19:56.420 Here's the

00:19:57.060 proof of it.

00:19:58.800 There's nothing

00:19:59.360 more racist than

00:20:00.400 climate policy,

00:20:02.400 climate change

00:20:03.260 policy.

00:20:04.360 There's nothing

00:20:05.060 more racist.

00:20:05.740 Because it's

00:20:06.560 the single

00:20:07.120 biggest thing

00:20:08.540 that would

00:20:08.820 affect race

00:20:09.520 throughout the

00:20:10.140 world, which

00:20:11.400 is you cut

00:20:12.220 down on the

00:20:12.760 fossil fuels and

00:20:13.720 all the people

00:20:14.840 who are less

00:20:15.680 white have the

00:20:17.300 worst time of

00:20:17.960 it.

00:20:18.560 There's no

00:20:18.980 question about

00:20:20.020 it.

00:20:20.600 It's the

00:20:21.060 single biggest

00:20:22.040 racist thing

00:20:22.920 we've ever

00:20:23.480 considered in

00:20:24.620 the history of

00:20:25.320 humankind,

00:20:26.400 including slavery.

00:20:28.560 Because as bad

00:20:29.740 as slavery is,

00:20:30.580 obviously, most

00:20:32.880 people were not

00:20:33.660 slaves.

00:20:34.640 Am I right?

00:20:35.740 Most people

00:20:36.600 were not

00:20:37.060 slaves.

00:20:38.640 But most

00:20:39.520 people will be

00:20:40.160 affected by

00:20:40.820 climate policy.

00:20:42.560 Most people

00:20:43.260 will have to

00:20:43.700 buy gas.

00:20:45.260 Most people

00:20:45.780 need electricity.

00:20:47.480 So climate

00:20:48.880 change is by

00:20:49.660 far, at least

00:20:51.240 the policy, not

00:20:52.060 the climate

00:20:52.760 change itself,

00:20:53.580 but the

00:20:54.000 policies about

00:20:54.940 it that are

00:20:55.360 anti-fossil

00:20:56.200 fuel are just

00:20:57.600 death to

00:20:58.280 developing

00:20:58.740 countries.

00:20:59.800 Because they

00:21:00.280 can't afford

00:21:00.920 this fancy new

00:21:02.260 green fuel that

00:21:03.200 costs more and

00:21:03.960 all that.

00:21:06.260 So I feel

00:21:07.660 like the

00:21:08.180 Republicans

00:21:08.840 would get

00:21:09.500 some, they

00:21:11.140 would get a

00:21:11.500 lot of, I

00:21:13.660 think, maybe

00:21:15.600 traction is the

00:21:16.480 right word, by

00:21:17.600 just continually

00:21:18.660 labeling the

00:21:19.460 Democrats as

00:21:20.160 captured by

00:21:20.920 race grifters.

00:21:22.120 And not really

00:21:23.060 even dealing with

00:21:23.820 their arguments

00:21:24.320 about race,

00:21:25.100 everything's racist.

00:21:25.920 So whenever you

00:21:28.120 get accused of

00:21:29.180 being a racist

00:21:29.800 because you're

00:21:30.240 Republican, you

00:21:30.940 know you will,

00:21:31.940 just say, you

00:21:32.660 know, it's

00:21:33.080 terrible that the

00:21:33.820 Democrats' party,

00:21:35.500 the party, has

00:21:36.820 been captured by

00:21:37.760 race grifters.

00:21:41.100 They're not

00:21:41.760 working for you.

00:21:42.840 If they were

00:21:43.480 working to make

00:21:44.220 things better for

00:21:44.860 race, they would

00:21:45.980 have a different

00:21:46.500 opinion on

00:21:47.260 everything from

00:21:48.220 nuclear energy to

00:21:50.080 teachers' unions and

00:21:53.280 school choice and

00:21:54.240 all that, because

00:21:55.460 it's obvious where

00:21:56.260 the biggest risks

00:21:56.960 are.

00:21:57.880 Yeah.

00:21:59.000 The teachers'

00:21:59.900 unions are the

00:22:00.460 biggest form of

00:22:01.120 systemic racism, by

00:22:03.340 far, and then

00:22:04.420 climate change

00:22:05.320 policies would be

00:22:06.360 the 10x of all

00:22:08.820 of that, ten times

00:22:09.940 that big.

00:22:11.320 But what we end

00:22:12.520 up talking about is

00:22:13.420 little stuff, right?

00:22:15.060 It's all the little

00:22:15.620 stuff.

00:22:16.960 Well, let's talk

00:22:17.600 some more about

00:22:18.120 that.

00:22:18.720 Have you noticed,

00:22:19.860 if you're on

00:22:20.620 Twitter, or maybe

00:22:21.680 it's other social

00:22:22.400 media too, have you

00:22:23.560 noticed a huge

00:22:24.300 uptick, and I'm

00:22:26.080 part of the

00:22:26.480 problem?

00:22:28.260 Let me say that

00:22:29.100 clearly.

00:22:30.320 I'm part of the

00:22:31.820 problem.

00:22:33.100 So the next thing

00:22:33.980 that the NPCs will

00:22:35.040 say, but Scott,

00:22:35.820 you're part of the

00:22:36.360 problem.

00:22:37.500 No, I'm part of

00:22:38.420 the problem.

00:22:40.000 Can you hear that,

00:22:40.940 NPCs?

00:22:41.840 I'm just trying to

00:22:42.700 make everybody stop

00:22:43.520 saying, but Scott,

00:22:44.460 you're the cause of

00:22:45.540 this problem.

00:22:46.240 Yes, I'm part of

00:22:47.460 the problem.

00:22:48.740 So now I can tell

00:22:49.740 you what it is, so

00:22:50.340 you settle down a

00:22:51.320 little bit.

00:22:51.640 There's a ton of

00:22:54.780 videos going around

00:22:56.460 on Twitter every

00:22:58.100 day now that

00:22:59.460 seem to show

00:23:02.600 black American

00:23:04.180 citizens beating

00:23:05.140 up on other

00:23:06.420 people, often

00:23:07.840 white, but not

00:23:08.520 always.

00:23:09.720 And they're all

00:23:11.920 one way, at

00:23:13.200 least the ones

00:23:13.800 that we're seeing,

00:23:14.660 the ones that are

00:23:15.140 surfaced.

00:23:15.700 I'm not saying it

00:23:16.400 only goes one way.

00:23:17.300 I'm only saying

00:23:17.680 that the videos are

00:23:18.520 just one way.

00:23:19.060 And does it

00:23:22.160 give you the

00:23:23.320 idea that it's

00:23:25.000 worse than it's

00:23:25.980 ever been?

00:23:27.360 If you've seen

00:23:27.960 the video, how

00:23:28.440 many of you have

00:23:28.860 seen the videos?

00:23:29.920 You know there's

00:23:30.520 an uptick in those

00:23:31.260 videos, right?

00:23:32.620 There's like a

00:23:33.120 sudden uptick.

00:23:34.360 All right, here's

00:23:34.980 the thing you need

00:23:35.520 to know.

00:23:36.560 They're mostly

00:23:37.140 coming from just

00:23:37.920 a few accounts.

00:23:40.600 That's where they

00:23:41.260 originate.

00:23:42.200 Other people are

00:23:42.960 retweeting them

00:23:43.680 because they think

00:23:44.440 they're current and

00:23:46.340 that it looks like

00:23:46.920 a pattern.

00:23:47.300 Many of them,

00:23:48.900 if not most,

00:23:49.480 are not current.

00:23:51.380 Some of them

00:23:51.880 could be 15,

00:23:53.200 20 years ago.

00:23:54.560 But they're being

00:23:55.440 surfaced all at the

00:23:56.540 same time, almost

00:23:58.080 one a day, almost

00:23:59.920 as if it's

00:24:00.760 programmed and

00:24:01.720 there's some

00:24:02.580 kind of a

00:24:03.200 movement going

00:24:04.320 on.

00:24:05.140 It doesn't, it's

00:24:05.920 not organic,

00:24:07.580 right?

00:24:07.900 So the fact

00:24:08.440 you're seeing

00:24:08.880 all those,

00:24:10.820 remind yourself

00:24:11.660 that's not

00:24:12.220 organic and

00:24:13.400 they're not

00:24:13.820 current.

00:24:15.280 They've lumped,

00:24:16.120 you know,

00:24:17.280 probably 20

00:24:18.080 years of

00:24:18.920 possible videos

00:24:20.160 and they're

00:24:20.980 all coming

00:24:21.500 forward at the

00:24:22.200 same time

00:24:22.740 through the

00:24:23.100 same few

00:24:23.560 accounts

00:24:24.060 and it's

00:24:24.820 creating a

00:24:25.340 very dangerous

00:24:26.260 impression.

00:24:28.280 Very dangerous.

00:24:29.300 Now the reason

00:24:29.760 I say I'm part

00:24:30.460 of that is that

00:24:31.040 I tweeted a few

00:24:32.300 of those

00:24:32.760 before I started

00:24:34.380 to sniff out

00:24:35.060 a pattern

00:24:35.540 because I

00:24:36.640 thought it

00:24:36.940 might be

00:24:37.240 organic.

00:24:38.700 I thought,

00:24:39.300 oh, there

00:24:39.720 just is more

00:24:40.360 of this going

00:24:40.920 on.

00:24:41.820 That's alarming.

00:24:42.720 Now there

00:24:43.640 might be

00:24:44.280 more of it

00:24:45.680 going on

00:24:46.260 but you

00:24:47.120 can't tell

00:24:47.560 from the

00:24:47.880 videos.

00:24:49.280 So don't

00:24:49.860 be persuaded

00:24:52.000 by the

00:24:52.620 videos.

00:24:53.840 Those videos

00:24:54.500 are intended

00:24:55.240 to set your

00:24:57.040 brain on fire

00:24:57.860 and create a

00:24:59.180 narrative that

00:25:00.860 might actually

00:25:01.560 be true but

00:25:03.060 the videos

00:25:03.540 aren't telling

00:25:04.020 you if it's

00:25:04.400 true or not

00:25:04.900 true.

00:25:05.840 It's just

00:25:06.400 not something

00:25:07.560 you should

00:25:08.020 base a

00:25:08.560 world view

00:25:08.980 on.

00:25:09.800 Just be

00:25:10.280 very aware

00:25:10.940 that coming

00:25:11.320 from a few

00:25:12.020 accounts that

00:25:13.260 are up to

00:25:13.820 something.

00:25:15.220 Those accounts

00:25:16.160 very much have

00:25:17.020 an agenda.

00:25:19.660 But then

00:25:20.380 people like me

00:25:20.980 get drawn

00:25:21.660 in to my

00:25:23.780 discredit,

00:25:26.500 drawn into

00:25:28.000 thinking that

00:25:28.680 I'm seeing

00:25:29.100 some kind

00:25:29.540 of a modern

00:25:30.100 current pattern.

00:25:32.180 There might

00:25:32.780 be but you

00:25:34.880 can't tell

00:25:35.300 from the

00:25:35.640 videos.

00:25:36.580 You cannot

00:25:37.020 tell.

00:25:37.300 Now I do

00:25:38.220 think that

00:25:39.740 the race

00:25:40.980 grifters

00:25:41.500 in the

00:25:41.840 Democrat

00:25:42.140 Party

00:25:42.580 have

00:25:43.460 increased

00:25:45.360 let's say

00:25:46.100 the bad

00:25:46.640 feelings

00:25:47.200 that I

00:25:48.800 would expect

00:25:49.300 there's

00:25:49.580 more.

00:25:51.620 But that's

00:25:52.500 my bias.

00:25:54.020 I don't

00:25:54.580 know.

00:25:55.480 I don't

00:25:56.080 know if

00:25:56.440 it's worse.

00:25:57.060 It could

00:25:57.400 be just

00:25:57.740 crime is

00:25:58.260 worse.

00:25:59.260 Maybe

00:25:59.520 just

00:25:59.760 everything's

00:26:00.220 worse since

00:26:00.640 the pandemic.

00:26:01.860 But I

00:26:02.520 wouldn't take

00:26:03.020 too much

00:26:03.760 of your

00:26:04.260 world view

00:26:04.700 from those

00:26:05.160 videos.

00:26:05.640 Just be

00:26:05.960 very careful.

00:26:06.960 And the

00:26:07.220 first thing

00:26:07.620 you should

00:26:07.920 ask the

00:26:08.420 next time

00:26:08.820 you see one

00:26:09.300 is when

00:26:09.600 did it

00:26:09.860 happen.

00:26:11.000 You're

00:26:11.280 going to

00:26:11.400 find out

00:26:11.780 they're

00:26:11.920 not

00:26:12.140 current.

00:26:13.880 So look

00:26:15.160 for that.

00:26:15.540 All right.

00:26:19.760 Let's see.

00:26:24.620 Let's talk

00:26:25.320 about all

00:26:25.660 the other

00:26:25.960 racist stuff.

00:26:27.820 There are

00:26:28.100 tornadoes in

00:26:28.800 Mississippi.

00:26:29.540 23 dead.

00:26:31.720 I guess it's

00:26:32.320 unclear whether

00:26:32.980 there was one

00:26:33.720 major tornado

00:26:35.080 that got

00:26:35.540 everybody or

00:26:36.360 there are a

00:26:36.820 bunch of

00:26:37.080 little ones

00:26:37.580 but it's

00:26:41.480 hard for me

00:26:41.900 to wrap my

00:26:42.500 head around

00:26:42.940 tornadoes.

00:26:45.040 Do you

00:26:45.520 have that

00:26:45.860 thing where

00:26:46.400 I kind

00:26:49.680 of like

00:26:50.160 earthquakes

00:26:51.540 because you

00:26:53.560 know where

00:26:53.820 the faults

00:26:54.260 are for the

00:26:54.780 most part

00:26:55.240 and you

00:26:56.000 kind of

00:26:56.260 know if

00:26:56.620 you're

00:26:56.780 vulnerable

00:26:57.160 to them

00:26:57.620 so you

00:26:58.540 can do

00:26:58.840 something

00:26:59.080 about it

00:26:59.560 if at

00:27:00.040 least you

00:27:00.360 have

00:27:00.480 resources

00:27:00.920 you can.

00:27:02.160 But I

00:27:02.980 feel like

00:27:03.440 there's

00:27:03.700 just nothing

00:27:04.160 you can do

00:27:04.680 if a

00:27:04.980 tornado is

00:27:05.560 coming your

00:27:05.960 way.

00:27:07.080 Like it

00:27:07.400 just jumps

00:27:08.020 out of

00:27:08.320 nowhere and

00:27:08.980 if it

00:27:09.780 hits your

00:27:10.080 house it

00:27:10.440 hits your

00:27:10.680 house.

00:27:11.980 So this

00:27:12.600 is pretty

00:27:12.920 grim.

00:27:14.400 23 dead.

00:27:15.780 I mean

00:27:15.960 that's huge.

00:27:17.460 Isn't that

00:27:18.040 more dead

00:27:18.600 than we

00:27:19.000 ever have

00:27:19.920 with like

00:27:20.260 a major

00:27:20.620 hurricane?

00:27:22.580 When was

00:27:23.160 last time

00:27:23.580 we had a

00:27:24.000 hurricane that

00:27:24.820 killed more

00:27:25.360 than 20

00:27:25.920 people?

00:27:27.920 Katrina?

00:27:29.260 How many

00:27:29.920 did Katrina

00:27:30.440 kill?

00:27:31.860 Because I

00:27:32.480 thought we

00:27:32.800 got the

00:27:33.160 deaths from

00:27:33.800 the big

00:27:34.240 hurricanes down

00:27:35.040 to like

00:27:35.400 the single

00:27:36.040 digits.

00:27:37.080 Are we

00:27:37.780 not in

00:27:38.780 single

00:27:39.100 digits from

00:27:39.740 major

00:27:40.020 hurricanes

00:27:40.440 yet?

00:27:41.300 It's

00:27:41.620 heading in

00:27:41.920 that

00:27:42.060 direction.

00:27:43.580 3,000?

00:27:45.020 What?

00:27:46.220 That can't

00:27:46.860 be right.

00:27:49.140 How many

00:27:49.460 people, you

00:27:50.180 have to give

00:27:50.540 me a number,

00:27:50.980 how many

00:27:51.180 died from

00:27:51.640 Katrina?

00:27:53.400 Sandy was

00:27:54.040 233,

00:27:55.000 somebody says.

00:27:56.780 1392?

00:27:57.600 Oh, okay.

00:27:59.920 Wow.

00:28:00.400 Wow.

00:28:00.460 I thought we

00:28:05.500 were doing

00:28:05.840 way better

00:28:06.260 than that.

00:28:06.880 1,800 dead?

00:28:08.360 Interesting.

00:28:09.080 Okay.

00:28:09.740 Well, I got

00:28:10.380 schooled on

00:28:11.300 that, but

00:28:12.680 23 dead is

00:28:13.360 pretty awful.

00:28:14.740 All right,

00:28:14.920 let's talk

00:28:15.300 about TikTok

00:28:16.300 and the

00:28:17.280 trick that

00:28:18.180 is being

00:28:19.120 played by

00:28:19.940 TikTok,

00:28:21.940 China,

00:28:23.260 Democrats

00:28:23.960 who don't

00:28:24.800 want to get

00:28:25.120 rid of TikTok,

00:28:25.880 and the

00:28:26.260 media.

00:28:27.540 They're all

00:28:28.240 doing the

00:28:28.680 same thing,

00:28:29.380 and no matter

00:28:30.040 how much I

00:28:30.640 complain about

00:28:31.360 it, it

00:28:32.400 doesn't seem

00:28:32.900 to be making

00:28:33.380 as much

00:28:33.760 difference as

00:28:34.320 I hoped.

00:28:35.320 And it goes

00:28:35.820 like this.

00:28:37.080 TikTok is

00:28:37.720 not one

00:28:38.240 risk.

00:28:38.900 It is two

00:28:39.600 separate,

00:28:40.460 but sort of

00:28:40.920 related risks.

00:28:42.480 One is they

00:28:43.300 could get all

00:28:43.760 the data about

00:28:44.540 the people

00:28:44.900 using it.

00:28:45.860 But as

00:28:46.460 people say,

00:28:47.220 hey, other

00:28:49.140 companies get

00:28:49.820 your data, so

00:28:51.180 what's the

00:28:51.580 difference?

00:28:52.380 The difference

00:28:53.040 is one of

00:28:53.560 them is our

00:28:54.000 adversary.

00:28:55.460 It is not

00:28:56.340 the same if

00:28:57.120 Zuckerberg has

00:28:58.080 your data.

00:28:59.300 You might

00:28:59.840 not like what

00:29:00.500 Zuckerberg does

00:29:01.360 with it, but

00:29:02.300 he's not

00:29:02.680 China.

00:29:04.240 He's not

00:29:04.860 trying to

00:29:05.280 destroy the

00:29:05.840 United States.

00:29:07.780 There's no

00:29:08.420 comparison.

00:29:09.740 And yet,

00:29:10.380 somehow, every

00:29:11.920 single day,

00:29:12.720 somebody says

00:29:13.340 that on social

00:29:14.000 media.

00:29:14.960 And even

00:29:15.480 Republicans are

00:29:17.060 saying it.

00:29:17.920 But Scott,

00:29:18.700 other companies

00:29:19.520 have data,

00:29:20.240 your private

00:29:20.640 data.

00:29:21.000 Why are you

00:29:21.300 so worried

00:29:21.680 about this

00:29:22.020 one?

00:29:22.180 Are you

00:29:22.360 racist?

00:29:23.960 And I

00:29:24.440 don't know

00:29:24.780 how much

00:29:25.640 less you

00:29:26.260 could

00:29:26.420 understand

00:29:26.920 about a

00:29:27.340 topic than

00:29:28.680 not understanding

00:29:29.420 that China

00:29:29.960 is not the

00:29:30.500 same as

00:29:30.920 Facebook or

00:29:31.800 Meta.

00:29:32.820 How in the

00:29:33.660 world is

00:29:34.300 anybody making

00:29:34.920 that argument?

00:29:35.700 Well,

00:29:36.060 other?

00:29:37.560 You give

00:29:38.540 bullets to

00:29:39.060 your friends,

00:29:40.500 so why

00:29:40.960 wouldn't you

00:29:41.300 give bullets

00:29:41.820 to your

00:29:42.240 sworn enemy

00:29:42.860 who wants

00:29:43.280 to kill

00:29:43.660 you?

00:29:44.940 Explain your

00:29:45.720 inconsistency,

00:29:46.780 Scott.

00:29:47.420 Why would

00:29:48.180 you arm

00:29:48.880 your friends,

00:29:50.140 but you

00:29:50.680 wouldn't arm

00:29:51.380 your mortal

00:29:51.880 enemies?

00:29:52.600 You're being

00:29:53.360 inconsistent

00:29:53.940 now.

00:29:55.040 How can

00:29:55.560 you even

00:29:55.820 explain

00:29:56.160 yourself?

00:29:56.600 Is it a

00:29:57.120 racist thing?

00:29:58.360 Are you

00:29:58.580 being racist

00:29:59.240 because you

00:30:00.120 want your

00:30:00.480 friends to

00:30:01.200 have weapons,

00:30:02.340 but you

00:30:02.640 don't...

00:30:03.260 Let me see

00:30:03.980 if I get

00:30:04.360 this straight.

00:30:05.100 You want

00:30:05.480 your friends

00:30:05.960 to have

00:30:06.280 weapons,

00:30:07.040 but you

00:30:08.040 don't want

00:30:08.820 your enemies,

00:30:10.180 your sworn

00:30:10.660 enemies.

00:30:11.560 Uh-huh.

00:30:12.320 Uh-huh.

00:30:13.000 Try to

00:30:13.420 explain that

00:30:14.100 without sounding

00:30:14.820 racist,

00:30:15.400 will you,

00:30:15.820 Scott?

00:30:16.240 Huh?

00:30:16.900 Huh?

00:30:17.500 Huh?

00:30:17.900 Huh?

00:30:19.320 I actually

00:30:20.120 have that

00:30:20.520 conversation at

00:30:21.340 least once a

00:30:21.900 day with

00:30:23.420 people who

00:30:23.940 can find

00:30:26.020 their way

00:30:26.360 to work

00:30:26.940 and get

00:30:27.900 married and

00:30:28.480 stuff.

00:30:29.180 They seem

00:30:29.600 to be able

00:30:29.940 to function

00:30:30.520 in the

00:30:30.920 world and

00:30:32.080 yet can't

00:30:32.640 tell the

00:30:32.920 difference

00:30:33.220 between giving

00:30:33.960 bullets to

00:30:34.500 your friends

00:30:34.960 versus giving

00:30:35.580 bullets to

00:30:36.060 your mortal

00:30:36.480 enemies.

00:30:39.360 I don't know

00:30:40.260 what to do

00:30:40.600 with that.

00:30:41.620 Just don't

00:30:42.060 know what

00:30:42.280 to do

00:30:42.520 with it.

00:30:43.480 But here's

00:30:44.060 the other

00:30:44.300 part.

00:30:45.480 Everybody

00:30:45.880 who tells

00:30:46.440 you,

00:30:47.240 but we

00:30:47.600 can protect

00:30:48.260 our data,

00:30:49.580 that would

00:30:49.900 be TikTok,

00:30:50.500 we can

00:30:50.800 protect our

00:30:51.340 data,

00:30:51.680 we have

00:30:51.900 all these

00:30:52.200 data protection

00:30:52.860 things,

00:30:53.360 we'll keep

00:30:53.660 it in

00:30:53.900 America,

00:30:54.700 other companies

00:30:55.340 have data

00:30:55.800 protection.

00:30:57.140 That's all

00:30:57.700 a diversion

00:30:58.320 because data

00:30:59.720 is only one

00:31:00.580 part of the

00:31:01.520 problem and

00:31:02.160 it's the

00:31:02.480 smaller part.

00:31:03.880 They want

00:31:04.540 you not to

00:31:05.160 think about

00:31:05.580 the fact that

00:31:06.160 they literally

00:31:06.720 have a button

00:31:07.420 that they

00:31:08.360 call the

00:31:08.780 heat button,

00:31:10.120 TikTok does,

00:31:10.860 we know this,

00:31:11.640 I'm not

00:31:11.900 speculating,

00:31:12.980 they admit

00:31:13.440 this,

00:31:14.160 where they

00:31:14.500 can make

00:31:14.900 anything

00:31:15.540 viral.

00:31:17.120 Boop,

00:31:18.120 one button.

00:31:19.300 It's viral.

00:31:19.960 with that

00:31:21.320 kind of

00:31:21.720 power,

00:31:22.180 they can

00:31:22.460 reprogram the

00:31:23.300 brains of

00:31:23.820 Americans

00:31:24.280 because

00:31:25.220 persuasion

00:31:25.980 is

00:31:26.700 attention

00:31:28.220 plus,

00:31:30.400 say it,

00:31:32.840 persuasion

00:31:33.560 is attention

00:31:34.520 plus

00:31:35.780 repetition.

00:31:38.940 Attention,

00:31:39.840 get your

00:31:40.300 attention,

00:31:41.200 TikTok does

00:31:41.880 that better

00:31:42.260 than anybody's

00:31:42.980 ever done it,

00:31:44.020 they get your

00:31:44.580 attention,

00:31:45.260 they keep

00:31:45.700 your attention

00:31:46.240 for hours

00:31:47.680 and then

00:31:49.240 they use

00:31:49.660 repetition

00:31:50.200 to make

00:31:51.740 you believe

00:31:52.180 anything they

00:31:52.740 want you to

00:31:53.160 believe.

00:31:54.120 That's all

00:31:54.680 it takes.

00:31:55.700 Attention,

00:31:56.720 they've got

00:31:57.180 that nailed,

00:31:58.400 repetition,

00:31:59.540 that's what

00:31:59.940 the algorithm

00:32:00.420 does.

00:32:01.300 Gives you

00:32:01.700 more of

00:32:02.180 things that

00:32:02.660 you click

00:32:02.980 on.

00:32:03.660 So if

00:32:03.980 they give

00:32:04.280 you something

00:32:04.660 and you

00:32:05.040 click on

00:32:05.480 it,

00:32:05.600 you're

00:32:05.780 going to

00:32:05.880 see a lot

00:32:06.240 more of

00:32:06.580 it and

00:32:06.800 you're

00:32:07.000 going to

00:32:07.080 hypnotize

00:32:07.560 yourself

00:32:07.920 just like

00:32:08.840 they might

00:32:09.300 want you.

00:32:10.180 Now,

00:32:10.580 I don't

00:32:10.880 have any

00:32:11.180 evidence they've

00:32:11.720 ever pushed

00:32:12.260 that button,

00:32:13.120 the heat

00:32:13.460 button,

00:32:13.740 to make

00:32:15.060 politics

00:32:16.300 change.

00:32:17.940 But would

00:32:18.880 you notice

00:32:19.700 if something

00:32:20.240 wasn't

00:32:20.980 viral that

00:32:22.460 maybe could

00:32:22.920 have been?

00:32:23.820 No,

00:32:24.260 you wouldn't

00:32:24.560 notice.

00:32:25.300 You don't

00:32:25.780 notice what

00:32:26.260 they suppress.

00:32:28.040 So do you

00:32:28.840 think they

00:32:29.160 only have a

00:32:29.840 heat button

00:32:30.300 or do you

00:32:31.120 think it's

00:32:31.520 like Twitter

00:32:32.220 where they

00:32:32.660 had ten

00:32:33.100 different

00:32:33.420 buttons for

00:32:34.080 suppressing

00:32:34.660 things?

00:32:35.760 I'm exaggerating

00:32:36.620 but you get

00:32:37.220 the point.

00:32:38.100 Of course

00:32:38.620 they have a

00:32:39.180 button for

00:32:39.600 suppressing

00:32:40.060 things.

00:32:41.460 Yeah,

00:32:41.940 except they

00:32:42.420 would use

00:32:42.780 reasons such

00:32:43.520 as it

00:32:44.400 was

00:32:44.560 inappropriate.

00:32:46.500 They'd say,

00:32:47.160 oh,

00:32:47.280 that violated

00:32:48.860 our terms

00:32:49.420 of service.

00:32:51.040 Or they

00:32:51.340 might say

00:32:51.840 advertisers

00:32:52.980 don't want

00:32:53.560 to associate

00:32:53.960 it with

00:32:54.260 it.

00:32:55.160 Yeah,

00:32:55.460 so we're

00:32:55.940 going to

00:32:56.060 suppress

00:32:56.380 this one

00:32:56.780 because

00:32:57.000 advertisers

00:32:57.540 don't want

00:32:57.980 to associate

00:32:58.360 with it.

00:33:00.000 Yeah,

00:33:00.500 so of course

00:33:01.460 they're already

00:33:02.020 programming us.

00:33:03.260 Of course

00:33:03.800 they are.

00:33:05.320 They don't

00:33:05.900 have to do

00:33:06.320 it with

00:33:06.560 making

00:33:06.860 something

00:33:07.160 viral,

00:33:07.660 they just

00:33:07.940 make something

00:33:08.440 that could

00:33:08.860 have been

00:33:09.100 viral,

00:33:09.460 not viral.

00:33:10.480 That's

00:33:10.760 all it

00:33:11.000 takes.

00:33:11.860 Whatever

00:33:12.140 you see

00:33:12.520 the most

00:33:12.900 of is

00:33:13.220 what

00:33:13.380 you're

00:33:13.600 going

00:33:13.640 to

00:33:13.720 think

00:33:14.000 is

00:33:14.160 true.

00:33:16.440 So

00:33:16.720 every

00:33:16.960 time,

00:33:17.420 and I'm

00:33:18.040 saying this

00:33:18.360 because China,

00:33:20.120 somebody in the

00:33:21.080 CCP said,

00:33:22.040 oh,

00:33:22.340 we would never

00:33:23.020 ask a company

00:33:24.920 for their

00:33:25.460 private data.

00:33:27.160 Now,

00:33:27.460 first of all,

00:33:28.140 that's a ridiculous

00:33:29.020 and stupid

00:33:29.640 claim because

00:33:31.800 they're adversaries

00:33:33.160 of the United

00:33:33.620 States,

00:33:34.020 and they

00:33:34.320 could.

00:33:35.560 All they

00:33:36.100 have to do

00:33:36.600 is have a

00:33:36.980 reason.

00:33:38.000 They just

00:33:38.580 need a

00:33:38.940 reason,

00:33:39.660 and then

00:33:39.980 they can

00:33:40.280 just ask

00:33:40.720 for it.

00:33:41.600 That's the

00:33:42.000 way their

00:33:42.320 system works.

00:33:43.320 It's also

00:33:43.900 the way

00:33:44.240 ours works.

00:33:45.480 Do you

00:33:45.680 think Twitter

00:33:46.180 can say no

00:33:46.900 if the

00:33:47.200 government

00:33:47.500 says show

00:33:48.080 us your

00:33:48.380 data?

00:33:49.280 No.

00:33:50.160 No,

00:33:50.340 the government

00:33:50.760 just has to

00:33:51.300 have some

00:33:51.720 warrant or

00:33:52.620 whatever they

00:33:53.100 need,

00:33:53.620 which they

00:33:53.960 can get

00:33:54.260 easily.

00:33:54.600 So no,

00:33:56.020 every company

00:33:56.820 is beholden

00:33:57.660 to the

00:33:57.960 government

00:33:58.300 of that

00:33:59.740 country.

00:34:00.620 There's no

00:34:01.200 way around

00:34:02.180 that.

00:34:03.020 It works

00:34:03.440 the same

00:34:03.800 way in

00:34:04.060 our system.

00:34:05.340 So

00:34:05.560 when China

00:34:08.680 or the

00:34:09.140 media or

00:34:09.880 anybody else

00:34:10.520 is talking

00:34:11.040 at all

00:34:12.120 about the

00:34:12.760 data risk,

00:34:14.100 they are

00:34:14.840 misleading

00:34:15.720 you because

00:34:17.440 they're trying

00:34:17.840 to make you

00:34:18.280 not think

00:34:18.780 about the

00:34:19.180 persuasion

00:34:19.660 risk,

00:34:20.480 which is

00:34:20.980 maybe a

00:34:21.480 hundred times

00:34:22.060 more scary.

00:34:23.360 It's not

00:34:23.760 even close.

00:34:25.260 The data

00:34:25.700 risk is,

00:34:26.480 well,

00:34:26.760 there's a

00:34:27.100 risk.

00:34:28.620 Do you

00:34:28.820 think China

00:34:29.320 doesn't have

00:34:29.780 a way to

00:34:30.100 hack our

00:34:30.720 personal data

00:34:31.440 other ways?

00:34:32.700 Of course

00:34:33.240 they do.

00:34:34.580 Of course

00:34:34.960 they do.

00:34:35.420 They probably

00:34:35.840 have hundreds

00:34:36.320 of ways to

00:34:36.800 get our

00:34:37.040 personal data.

00:34:39.520 But they

00:34:40.180 don't have

00:34:40.540 hundreds of

00:34:41.080 ways to

00:34:42.160 program us

00:34:42.920 with one

00:34:43.360 button.

00:34:45.720 TikTok is

00:34:46.320 sort of

00:34:46.740 unique in

00:34:47.500 that.

00:34:48.280 It's more

00:34:49.560 powerful than

00:34:50.220 any other

00:34:50.820 tool they

00:34:51.200 have,

00:34:51.800 other than

00:34:52.240 military and

00:34:53.980 money,

00:34:54.280 I suppose.

00:34:55.820 All right,

00:34:56.120 so the

00:34:56.340 people who

00:34:56.700 get this

00:34:57.120 right,

00:34:57.760 the people

00:34:58.160 who understand

00:34:58.860 that the

00:34:59.360 persuasion

00:35:00.020 risk is

00:35:01.560 bigger than

00:35:04.000 the data

00:35:04.360 risk is

00:35:05.800 Dan Crenshaw.

00:35:07.660 All right,

00:35:07.840 so here's my

00:35:08.440 heroes list.

00:35:09.760 People who

00:35:10.260 actually understand

00:35:11.220 the complicated

00:35:11.820 topic.

00:35:13.240 It turns out

00:35:14.240 the bar should

00:35:15.140 not be this

00:35:15.980 low.

00:35:16.520 I'm just

00:35:18.480 looking for

00:35:18.980 somebody who

00:35:19.540 understands the

00:35:20.400 complicated topic.

00:35:22.160 That's it.

00:35:23.320 Dan Crenshaw,

00:35:24.400 and again,

00:35:25.140 you can keep

00:35:25.900 your opinions

00:35:26.440 of anything

00:35:26.920 else you

00:35:27.320 don't like

00:35:27.720 about him.

00:35:28.780 We're not

00:35:29.360 talking about

00:35:29.900 that.

00:35:30.840 On this

00:35:31.360 topic,

00:35:32.440 he is right

00:35:33.560 on.

00:35:34.000 He's dialed

00:35:34.600 in.

00:35:36.720 He's exactly

00:35:37.720 right on this.

00:35:38.720 Tom Cotton,

00:35:39.840 exactly right

00:35:40.640 on TikTok

00:35:41.380 and China.

00:35:42.600 And Vivek

00:35:43.180 Ramaswamy,

00:35:44.360 he seems to be

00:35:44.960 right about

00:35:45.320 everything lately.

00:35:46.520 I disagreed

00:35:47.320 with him a

00:35:47.700 little bit

00:35:47.960 on the bank

00:35:48.480 stuff,

00:35:49.540 but he

00:35:50.340 always shows

00:35:51.100 his work,

00:35:52.100 so I

00:35:53.520 appreciate

00:35:54.000 that.

00:35:56.700 All right.

00:35:59.740 Apparently

00:36:00.260 there's a

00:36:00.900 Silicon Valley

00:36:01.580 bank connection

00:36:02.480 with China,

00:36:04.300 because I

00:36:04.660 guess,

00:36:04.920 I didn't

00:36:05.200 realize this,

00:36:05.760 but Silicon

00:36:06.180 Valley bank,

00:36:06.820 at least in

00:36:07.740 some ways,

00:36:09.900 was like

00:36:10.340 almost a

00:36:11.000 Chinese sister

00:36:12.100 bank set

00:36:13.200 up to do

00:36:14.000 lots of

00:36:14.460 loans for

00:36:15.820 not

00:36:17.040 exclusively,

00:36:18.580 but with

00:36:19.320 a focus

00:36:19.780 on

00:36:20.200 Chinese

00:36:22.340 startups.

00:36:23.680 So now

00:36:24.580 some

00:36:24.820 Republicans

00:36:25.240 are saying,

00:36:26.120 how much

00:36:27.720 are we

00:36:28.040 backing up

00:36:28.800 Chinese

00:36:29.280 companies?

00:36:30.620 I'm not

00:36:31.400 sure that's

00:36:31.860 the right

00:36:32.300 button to

00:36:32.980 push.

00:36:35.040 In my

00:36:35.880 opinion,

00:36:36.500 if you're

00:36:37.020 going to

00:36:37.220 save a

00:36:37.600 bank,

00:36:37.840 you just

00:36:38.200 have to

00:36:38.500 save the

00:36:38.860 bank.

00:36:40.420 I don't

00:36:40.640 think you

00:36:41.000 can.

00:36:41.200 To me,

00:36:43.220 even though

00:36:43.720 I don't

00:36:45.020 think you

00:36:45.320 can be

00:36:45.600 more hawkish

00:36:46.300 about China

00:36:46.820 than I

00:36:47.200 am,

00:36:47.820 but even

00:36:48.320 I don't

00:36:48.860 think a

00:36:50.420 Chinese

00:36:50.800 company

00:36:51.280 just trying

00:36:51.820 to do

00:36:52.100 business

00:36:52.500 in the

00:36:52.780 United

00:36:53.020 States

00:36:53.520 in a

00:36:54.640 legal

00:36:54.900 way,

00:36:56.200 I don't

00:36:56.560 think that

00:36:57.200 they should

00:36:57.520 get left

00:36:59.140 out of

00:36:59.620 whatever

00:36:59.860 happens.

00:37:00.760 Now,

00:37:00.960 I don't

00:37:01.140 know if

00:37:01.380 anybody's

00:37:01.760 being bailed

00:37:02.360 out.

00:37:03.420 Are they

00:37:03.980 being bailed

00:37:04.500 out?

00:37:04.960 I guess

00:37:05.340 they are.

00:37:06.900 Or is it

00:37:07.540 just the

00:37:07.860 insurance that's

00:37:08.540 covering it?

00:37:09.020 Well,

00:37:12.420 I guess I

00:37:13.460 don't have

00:37:13.900 that big

00:37:14.580 of a

00:37:14.840 problem

00:37:15.100 with it.

00:37:15.840 It's not

00:37:16.340 ideal,

00:37:17.200 and I

00:37:17.500 certainly

00:37:17.780 wish we

00:37:18.180 were not

00:37:18.500 bailing in

00:37:19.000 any Chinese

00:37:19.780 entities,

00:37:20.840 but I

00:37:21.100 just,

00:37:22.120 I don't

00:37:22.400 know,

00:37:22.640 I think it

00:37:22.980 was because

00:37:23.300 I was a

00:37:23.760 banker for

00:37:24.260 so long.

00:37:25.580 I just

00:37:26.000 don't like

00:37:26.580 treating some

00:37:27.400 of the

00:37:28.900 depositors

00:37:29.600 different than

00:37:30.140 the others.

00:37:31.560 I'm just

00:37:32.160 not comfortable

00:37:32.720 with it.

00:37:33.280 I understand

00:37:33.780 the argument,

00:37:34.740 totally understand

00:37:35.540 the argument,

00:37:36.060 I'm just

00:37:36.280 not comfortable

00:37:36.780 with that

00:37:38.220 in this

00:37:38.600 context.

00:37:39.020 All right.

00:37:44.760 Today is

00:37:45.600 what you

00:37:45.920 call a

00:37:46.500 slow news

00:37:47.200 day.

00:37:50.200 So there

00:37:51.040 wasn't much

00:37:51.480 happening

00:37:51.760 today.

00:37:55.340 And so

00:37:56.240 I would

00:37:56.600 like to

00:37:56.980 offer you

00:37:57.520 only the

00:37:58.260 reframes

00:37:58.960 of the

00:37:59.220 day,

00:38:00.100 that the

00:38:01.540 Democrats

00:38:02.000 are just

00:38:02.980 captured by

00:38:03.940 race grifters,

00:38:05.120 and I'm

00:38:05.600 not sure

00:38:05.880 you should

00:38:06.180 listen to

00:38:06.580 anything they

00:38:07.140 say.

00:38:07.460 because as

00:38:09.200 soon as

00:38:09.520 they

00:38:09.640 mention

00:38:09.920 racism,

00:38:10.980 you should

00:38:11.240 just back

00:38:11.720 out of the

00:38:12.100 conversation.

00:38:14.340 Or,

00:38:15.260 alternately,

00:38:16.560 now I don't

00:38:16.940 think Trump

00:38:17.380 would ever

00:38:17.640 do this,

00:38:18.080 but imagine

00:38:18.560 Trump saying

00:38:19.180 that everything

00:38:19.640 the Democrats

00:38:20.260 are doing

00:38:20.640 is racist,

00:38:21.760 not just

00:38:22.920 against white

00:38:23.460 people,

00:38:23.800 that would

00:38:24.060 be a bad

00:38:24.480 attack,

00:38:25.200 but racist

00:38:25.800 against black

00:38:28.280 Americans in

00:38:28.920 particular.

00:38:29.260 I think he

00:38:32.400 could sell

00:38:32.800 that,

00:38:33.140 actually.

00:38:35.440 Yeah,

00:38:36.040 we talked

00:38:36.480 about Syria.

00:38:39.880 If Trump

00:38:41.980 embraced,

00:38:42.820 or if the

00:38:43.340 Democrats

00:38:43.760 embraced and

00:38:44.540 amplified,

00:38:45.720 they would

00:38:46.080 say,

00:38:46.440 look,

00:38:47.220 you can't

00:38:47.760 even talk

00:38:48.140 to us

00:38:48.400 about race

00:38:48.940 unless you

00:38:49.860 stop with

00:38:51.240 your getting

00:38:51.740 rid of

00:38:52.100 fossil fuels.

00:38:53.400 As long as

00:38:54.220 you're trying

00:38:54.500 to get rid

00:38:54.880 of fossil fuels,

00:38:55.820 you're the

00:38:56.100 biggest racist

00:38:56.700 on the

00:38:57.020 planet,

00:38:57.320 and there's

00:38:58.240 no argument

00:38:58.740 there,

00:38:59.020 that's just

00:38:59.360 math.

00:39:00.560 I don't think

00:39:01.040 anybody would

00:39:01.540 argue it.

00:39:03.280 All you have

00:39:03.940 to do is put

00:39:04.460 it in the

00:39:04.840 conversation,

00:39:05.580 and people

00:39:05.900 are like,

00:39:06.300 oh,

00:39:06.640 okay,

00:39:07.640 kind of agree

00:39:08.220 with that

00:39:08.520 point.

00:39:09.540 It's just

00:39:10.000 leaving it

00:39:10.620 out of the

00:39:11.020 conversation

00:39:11.620 that allows

00:39:12.680 the Democrats

00:39:13.360 to avoid

00:39:13.980 it.

00:39:14.260 Just put

00:39:14.600 it in the

00:39:14.900 conversation.

00:39:16.000 Yeah,

00:39:16.440 let's do

00:39:16.940 something about

00:39:17.520 climate policy.

00:39:18.700 You really

00:39:19.100 want to do

00:39:19.540 something for

00:39:20.200 low-income

00:39:21.600 people,

00:39:22.180 which too

00:39:23.160 often are

00:39:23.780 black.

00:39:27.320 what's

00:39:30.840 the argument

00:39:31.220 against

00:39:31.660 protecting

00:39:32.440 U.S.

00:39:32.840 banks and

00:39:33.240 companies

00:39:33.580 first versus

00:39:34.800 foreign?

00:39:38.160 I don't

00:39:38.800 think there

00:39:39.220 should be

00:39:39.520 a first,

00:39:40.280 is the

00:39:40.740 argument.

00:39:42.620 The banking

00:39:43.980 system requires

00:39:46.260 everybody to

00:39:47.440 think that it's

00:39:48.060 stable.

00:39:49.820 And if you

00:39:50.320 said,

00:39:51.180 well,

00:39:51.360 we'll save

00:39:51.740 Americans money,

00:39:53.640 but if you

00:39:54.560 foreign companies

00:39:56.280 put your money

00:39:56.900 in our bank,

00:39:57.580 we won't

00:39:58.060 protect you

00:39:58.680 the same

00:39:59.560 way.

00:40:00.800 It's not

00:40:02.100 going to be

00:40:02.660 the most

00:40:03.580 credible banking

00:40:04.460 system.

00:40:05.760 So here's

00:40:06.740 a decision I

00:40:08.360 make on a

00:40:08.920 lot of these

00:40:09.400 gnarly things.

00:40:11.620 Whenever you

00:40:12.120 have a gnarly

00:40:12.780 decision that

00:40:13.520 there's no

00:40:13.880 right decision,

00:40:15.200 this is an

00:40:15.820 example where

00:40:16.260 there's no

00:40:16.560 right decision.

00:40:17.640 If you

00:40:18.220 help the

00:40:19.020 foreign companies,

00:40:20.500 well,

00:40:20.740 that's wrong

00:40:21.280 because why

00:40:22.440 weren't we

00:40:22.800 spending that

00:40:23.340 money on

00:40:23.940 Americans?

00:40:24.660 But if you

00:40:25.220 don't help

00:40:25.740 them,

00:40:26.280 if you

00:40:26.740 don't help

00:40:27.180 them,

00:40:27.920 then you

00:40:28.240 make the

00:40:28.560 entire banking

00:40:29.220 system weaker

00:40:30.060 because it

00:40:30.780 has less

00:40:31.260 protection or

00:40:32.700 it would seem

00:40:33.200 like it.

00:40:34.240 So in

00:40:35.000 those cases,

00:40:35.580 I usually

00:40:36.060 default to

00:40:36.820 the strongest

00:40:37.320 system as

00:40:39.120 opposed to

00:40:39.660 the best

00:40:40.160 initial

00:40:40.800 outcome.

00:40:42.160 The best

00:40:42.900 initial outcome

00:40:43.840 might be

00:40:44.960 protecting

00:40:45.460 American

00:40:45.880 companies

00:40:46.380 first and

00:40:47.800 not protecting

00:40:48.680 foreign

00:40:49.760 depositors.

00:40:51.080 That might

00:40:51.440 be the

00:40:51.740 best short

00:40:53.560 term thing.

00:40:54.500 But your

00:40:54.940 system is

00:40:55.820 more important.

00:40:57.140 Your system

00:40:57.660 is the

00:40:58.080 entire banking

00:40:58.820 credibility.

00:41:00.620 If the

00:41:01.060 U.S.

00:41:01.400 always took

00:41:02.120 the position

00:41:02.740 of strongest

00:41:03.540 support,

00:41:04.880 whatever that

00:41:05.540 looked like,

00:41:06.840 that's a

00:41:07.280 whole different

00:41:08.000 feel and

00:41:08.860 look from,

00:41:10.180 well, we're

00:41:10.920 going to take

00:41:11.320 a look at

00:41:11.700 each situation

00:41:12.460 separately and

00:41:13.760 maybe we'll

00:41:14.460 protect you,

00:41:15.180 maybe we

00:41:15.600 won't.

00:41:16.720 Now, in

00:41:17.100 reality, it's

00:41:17.700 always that

00:41:18.040 way.

00:41:18.400 In reality,

00:41:18.960 we're always

00:41:19.380 going to look

00:41:19.700 at it separately

00:41:20.180 and make

00:41:20.920 every decision

00:41:21.580 individually.

00:41:23.020 But if you

00:41:23.500 start a

00:41:23.900 pattern that

00:41:25.540 you're going

00:41:25.820 to be picking

00:41:26.300 and choosing

00:41:26.820 who wins

00:41:27.320 and loses,

00:41:28.820 that's not

00:41:29.340 nearly as

00:41:29.820 credible as

00:41:30.480 it's a

00:41:31.260 bank in

00:41:31.620 America.

00:41:32.940 Here's the

00:41:33.580 framing I

00:41:34.100 like.

00:41:35.380 Is it a

00:41:35.880 bank in

00:41:36.300 America?

00:41:37.280 We're going

00:41:37.660 to protect

00:41:38.540 it.

00:41:40.160 Now, you

00:41:40.560 can't protect

00:41:41.080 every bank,

00:41:41.720 right?

00:41:42.100 But as a

00:41:43.080 general

00:41:43.500 statement of

00:41:44.760 credibility for

00:41:46.100 both the

00:41:46.520 country and

00:41:47.160 the banking

00:41:47.540 system, if

00:41:48.740 the government

00:41:49.740 came down

00:41:50.980 on, hey,

00:41:52.000 if it's in

00:41:52.480 the United

00:41:52.800 States and

00:41:53.360 it's a

00:41:53.620 bank, yeah,

00:41:55.020 we're going

00:41:55.260 to do what

00:41:55.560 we can,

00:41:56.700 everything we

00:41:57.320 can.

00:41:57.620 We'll take

00:41:58.160 the extreme

00:41:58.720 protection

00:41:59.240 position,

00:42:00.500 whatever that

00:42:00.960 is.

00:42:03.440 Extreme

00:42:03.960 socialist

00:42:04.480 governance.

00:42:05.500 You know,

00:42:06.260 the attack

00:42:07.120 that Republicans

00:42:07.940 use on the

00:42:08.980 left, that

00:42:10.220 they're

00:42:10.420 socialists and

00:42:11.240 Marxists,

00:42:12.240 has no

00:42:13.120 bite whatsoever.

00:42:14.420 Do you

00:42:14.660 know that?

00:42:15.740 There's no

00:42:16.300 bite.

00:42:17.540 Because it's

00:42:17.980 just Republican

00:42:18.720 talking to

00:42:19.480 each other,

00:42:20.300 and it's

00:42:20.520 not even

00:42:20.940 all Republicans,

00:42:22.660 it's just

00:42:23.060 the ones who

00:42:23.720 are into

00:42:24.020 politics.

00:42:25.180 The average

00:42:25.780 person doesn't

00:42:26.420 even know

00:42:26.760 what Marxism

00:42:27.380 is.

00:42:29.360 How many,

00:42:30.940 what percentage

00:42:32.460 of the general

00:42:33.180 public could

00:42:34.000 even give

00:42:34.460 you a good

00:42:35.040 working definition

00:42:35.960 of fascism,

00:42:38.200 Marxism,

00:42:38.820 or socialism?

00:42:42.060 Yeah,

00:42:43.020 maybe 5 to

00:42:44.620 15 percent,

00:42:45.680 that's it.

00:42:46.620 It's just

00:42:47.040 not persuasive.

00:42:47.860 It's not.

00:42:50.300 But it's

00:42:51.060 more persuasive

00:42:51.800 to say the

00:42:53.080 Democrats can't

00:42:54.500 be taken

00:42:54.860 seriously,

00:42:56.240 because they're

00:42:56.920 wholly owned

00:42:57.940 by the race

00:42:58.560 grifters.

00:43:00.320 Everybody

00:43:00.880 understands that,

00:43:01.740 right?

00:43:02.420 That's the

00:43:03.040 easiest thing

00:43:03.660 you could

00:43:03.940 possibly understand.

00:43:04.860 Oh, there's

00:43:05.880 nothing wrong

00:43:06.340 with Democrats,

00:43:07.480 except the

00:43:08.460 party is taken

00:43:09.080 over by the

00:43:09.640 race grifters,

00:43:10.440 and now

00:43:10.820 everything that

00:43:11.440 they say has

00:43:12.020 to conform to

00:43:13.300 the race

00:43:13.680 grifter

00:43:14.080 narrative,

00:43:15.060 and it

00:43:15.960 makes them

00:43:16.380 completely

00:43:17.020 useless.

00:43:18.780 It makes the

00:43:19.340 party completely

00:43:19.960 useless.

00:43:21.280 I mean, I would

00:43:22.400 sell the

00:43:23.400 Democrats as a

00:43:24.280 problem that

00:43:24.760 they need to

00:43:25.260 fix.

00:43:26.680 I wouldn't say,

00:43:27.840 you know, just

00:43:28.340 don't vote for

00:43:29.060 them.

00:43:29.300 I'd say,

00:43:30.040 Democrats, you've

00:43:30.800 got this huge

00:43:31.320 problem.

00:43:32.180 Your party's been

00:43:32.840 taken over by

00:43:33.540 race grifters,

00:43:34.640 and they don't

00:43:35.240 care about anything

00:43:35.960 else, and you've

00:43:36.560 got this one note.

00:43:38.720 You're trying to

00:43:39.240 play a symphony

00:43:39.840 with one note.

00:43:41.380 Oh, how about

00:43:41.840 that?

00:43:43.040 Democrats are

00:43:43.780 trying to play a

00:43:44.520 symphony with one

00:43:45.400 note.

00:43:47.680 That's pretty good,

00:43:48.640 isn't it?

00:43:49.860 Yeah.

00:43:50.560 They're trying to

00:43:51.180 play a symphony

00:43:51.860 with one note,

00:43:53.680 because the race

00:43:54.640 grifters have

00:43:55.380 taken control of

00:43:56.180 the party.

00:43:58.380 Yeah.

00:43:59.580 Pretty good.

00:44:01.060 Now, that's good

00:44:01.960 framing.

00:44:03.300 Now, compare

00:44:03.880 that to, there

00:44:05.520 are too many

00:44:06.080 trained Marxists.

00:44:08.600 That's a

00:44:09.200 nothing.

00:44:10.160 That's just

00:44:10.900 nothing.

00:44:12.820 Or, they're

00:44:13.980 too socialist.

00:44:15.880 That's nothing.

00:44:17.640 There's no

00:44:18.400 persuasive power

00:44:19.860 there whatsoever.

00:44:22.020 You know,

00:44:23.940 all right,

00:44:27.640 they'll listen to

00:44:28.320 race grifters?

00:44:29.140 Yeah, I think

00:44:29.520 they will, because

00:44:30.660 I think the

00:44:31.220 Democrats also

00:44:32.120 feel it.

00:44:33.760 Now, so that

00:44:34.720 you're challenging

00:44:35.340 the right

00:44:35.780 assumption.

00:44:36.660 The assumption

00:44:37.460 behind it is

00:44:39.020 that the only

00:44:40.920 persuasion that

00:44:41.760 works is when

00:44:43.040 the person

00:44:43.420 you're trying

00:44:43.800 to persuade

00:44:44.360 feels that

00:44:45.220 your point

00:44:45.640 is a true

00:44:46.660 one.

00:44:47.740 Do you think

00:44:48.160 the Democrats

00:44:48.660 are not aware

00:44:49.580 that the race

00:44:50.800 grifters have

00:44:51.480 taken over

00:44:51.940 their party?

00:44:52.380 they're not

00:44:54.860 all aware, but

00:44:56.820 the ones in

00:44:57.300 the middle

00:44:57.580 are.

00:44:59.000 The ones in

00:44:59.760 the middle

00:45:00.040 who are not

00:45:00.880 into pronouns

00:45:01.760 and, you

00:45:04.120 know,

00:45:04.740 unlimited

00:45:05.520 children

00:45:06.660 transitioning,

00:45:08.280 that's a lot

00:45:08.960 of Democrats.

00:45:09.740 There'll be a lot

00:45:10.200 of people there.

00:45:11.360 And,

00:45:12.920 yeah,

00:45:16.820 Marxism

00:45:17.360 versus you're

00:45:18.040 being conned.

00:45:18.700 everybody is

00:45:20.080 primed to

00:45:20.760 believe they're

00:45:21.220 being conned.

00:45:22.920 Everybody's

00:45:23.440 primed to

00:45:23.900 believe that.

00:45:24.820 You know why

00:45:25.200 it doesn't

00:45:25.560 work when the

00:45:26.180 Democrats use

00:45:26.880 it about

00:45:27.220 Trump?

00:45:28.600 Because the

00:45:29.120 Democrats are

00:45:29.980 continually coming

00:45:30.840 after me and

00:45:31.600 probably some

00:45:32.120 of you, and

00:45:32.880 they'll say

00:45:33.220 stuff like,

00:45:34.420 well, what

00:45:34.900 did you expect

00:45:35.760 once you knew

00:45:36.940 about Trump

00:45:38.280 University and

00:45:40.180 once you knew

00:45:40.700 about the

00:45:41.280 allegations from

00:45:42.220 women?

00:45:42.920 What did you

00:45:43.480 expect from

00:45:44.100 Trump?

00:45:44.440 And the

00:45:45.560 reason that

00:45:45.980 doesn't work

00:45:46.680 is that that

00:45:48.380 was what I

00:45:48.980 expected from

00:45:49.640 Trump.

00:45:51.460 I don't know

00:45:52.280 about you,

00:45:53.220 but I got

00:45:54.120 exactly what I

00:45:54.980 expected.

00:45:56.000 The good,

00:45:56.720 the bad,

00:45:57.440 the annoying,

00:45:58.800 the amazing.

00:45:59.900 I got everything

00:46:00.640 I expected.

00:46:01.760 So when the

00:46:02.780 Democrats try

00:46:04.020 to get me to

00:46:04.840 change my mind

00:46:05.520 by saying,

00:46:06.480 don't you know

00:46:07.200 that there were

00:46:07.900 some, you

00:46:08.960 know, glaring

00:46:09.760 issues with

00:46:10.560 Trump?

00:46:12.360 I think,

00:46:13.760 yes.

00:46:14.440 Do you have

00:46:16.120 any other

00:46:16.540 dumb questions?

00:46:18.180 Yes, I was

00:46:19.560 aware of that.

00:46:20.720 Yes, that was

00:46:21.260 fully, fully

00:46:22.900 considered in my

00:46:23.840 opinion.

00:46:24.440 Uh-huh.

00:46:25.360 It's all right

00:46:26.160 there.

00:46:27.460 But when, but

00:46:28.660 when you, but

00:46:29.960 if you tell the

00:46:30.540 Democrats that

00:46:31.360 they've been

00:46:32.320 captured by

00:46:33.000 race grifters,

00:46:34.380 nobody wants

00:46:35.040 to feel

00:46:35.360 captured.

00:46:36.820 That's a good

00:46:37.620 persuasion word.

00:46:38.940 Nobody wants

00:46:39.560 to feel captured.

00:46:41.160 And I think

00:46:42.240 that they would

00:46:42.640 see it.

00:46:43.060 And maybe

00:46:44.540 see it in a

00:46:45.200 way that they

00:46:46.220 had not, you

00:46:47.780 know, maybe

00:46:48.100 vocalized it or

00:46:49.100 heard it before.

00:46:49.960 But they would

00:46:50.580 feel it.

00:46:51.580 I think they

00:46:52.080 would feel it

00:46:52.660 as true.

00:46:54.480 Magpie?

00:46:56.220 That's not

00:46:56.820 the magpie,

00:46:57.660 is it?

00:47:00.020 Just saw a

00:47:00.740 name on, uh,

00:47:02.220 going by on,

00:47:03.280 uh, YouTube.

00:47:05.500 Is that my

00:47:06.280 friend, the

00:47:06.700 magpie?

00:47:07.060 Or is there

00:47:07.920 more than one

00:47:08.420 magpie?

00:47:08.780 Well, we'll

00:47:11.500 have to get

00:47:11.860 into that

00:47:12.220 later.

00:47:13.520 All right.

00:47:14.460 Captured by

00:47:15.120 Trump?

00:47:15.840 You know, they

00:47:17.180 try to make a

00:47:17.740 thing about the

00:47:18.440 maggots, you

00:47:19.960 know, the

00:47:20.260 people who

00:47:20.700 are just

00:47:21.800 cultists.

00:47:24.360 But the

00:47:24.980 thing is that

00:47:25.620 that doesn't

00:47:26.120 work, because

00:47:26.780 the cultists

00:47:27.400 know exactly

00:47:28.000 what they

00:47:28.380 are.

00:47:29.440 They know

00:47:30.040 why they're

00:47:30.360 supporting him.

00:47:31.540 They know

00:47:32.040 his, you

00:47:33.600 know, rough

00:47:33.960 edges.

00:47:34.480 They know

00:47:34.740 it all.

00:47:35.060 good try.

00:47:41.400 But my

00:47:42.860 critics have

00:47:43.860 just become

00:47:44.340 so weak

00:47:44.880 lately.

00:47:45.640 I have the

00:47:45.980 weakest

00:47:46.280 critics lately.

00:47:50.020 All right.

00:47:53.420 I like to

00:47:55.240 think we're

00:47:55.600 friends.

00:47:56.540 Well, good.

00:47:57.960 Well, we're

00:47:58.360 friends whether

00:47:58.900 we were before

00:47:59.820 or not.

00:48:02.880 The last

00:48:03.660 ten Dr.

00:48:04.400 Drew shows

00:48:04.980 were pretty

00:48:05.500 rogue.

00:48:09.680 That's

00:48:10.120 interesting.

00:48:12.200 All right.

00:48:12.840 I don't have

00:48:13.480 much else

00:48:13.880 today, so I'm

00:48:14.340 going to say

00:48:14.640 bye to the

00:48:15.460 YouTubers, and

00:48:16.880 I'm going to

00:48:17.160 talk a little

00:48:17.720 bit more to

00:48:18.180 the locals

00:48:18.600 folks.

00:48:19.660 By the way,

00:48:20.620 hit your

00:48:21.100 notification

00:48:22.320 button and

00:48:23.200 subscribe if

00:48:24.400 you'd like to

00:48:25.160 boost my

00:48:27.640 message.

00:48:29.960 Even just

00:48:30.740 boosting it to

00:48:31.340 yourself, I

00:48:31.800 suppose.

00:48:32.460 And join the

00:48:33.100 scottadams.

00:48:34.800 Locals.com

00:48:35.940 community if

00:48:36.760 you want to

00:48:37.060 see the new

00:48:38.200 edgier Dilbert

00:48:39.080 stuff.

00:48:40.000 I'll give you

00:48:40.520 this one tease.

00:48:42.860 So Dilbert

00:48:43.340 Reborn is my

00:48:45.200 comic that goes

00:48:45.960 forward and has

00:48:47.200 been going forward

00:48:47.840 in the Locals

00:48:48.680 platform subscription.

00:48:52.000 But I have one

00:48:53.200 week coming up,

00:48:54.660 I think in a few

00:48:55.260 weeks, I have one

00:48:57.080 week coming up

00:48:58.040 that every single

00:48:59.960 comic that week

00:49:00.840 would have been

00:49:01.500 banned from

00:49:01.980 newspapers.

00:49:05.200 Every one of

00:49:05.980 them would have

00:49:06.360 been banned from

00:49:06.940 newspapers.

00:49:07.600 It's going to be

00:49:08.020 an entire week of

00:49:09.360 all uncomfortable

00:49:10.280 stuff.

00:49:12.480 Now, I will

00:49:13.720 promise you this,

00:49:15.820 none of it is

00:49:16.700 mean-spirited, and

00:49:18.360 none of it targets

00:49:19.240 any group, right?

00:49:20.800 Because I don't do

00:49:21.380 that.

00:49:22.020 Believe it or not,

00:49:23.080 I don't do that.

00:49:24.720 It is simply

00:49:25.680 topics that you

00:49:26.700 just couldn't

00:49:27.160 mention before.

00:49:28.340 That's all it is.

00:49:29.120 It's just artistic

00:49:29.960 freedom.

00:49:30.760 It's nothing to be

00:49:31.620 afraid of, right?

00:49:33.980 So, just artistic

00:49:35.180 freedom.

00:49:36.860 And I hope you

00:49:38.560 check it out, and

00:49:39.440 I will talk to you

00:49:40.300 tomorrow.
