00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do.
00:00:04.680 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization and certainly the
00:00:10.260 best day you've ever had in your life. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. There's never
00:00:14.320 been a finer moment anywhere, ever. And if you'd like to rub it in for those people who are missing
00:00:21.260 it, like you really want to rub it in their faces how good your day is, well, all you need is a
00:00:28.220 cup or mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:33.420 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the
00:00:39.660 dopamine to the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better with a little touch of
00:00:44.300 oxytocin, too. It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now. Go.
00:00:48.860 Ah. Well, you could get one of these mugs, too, if you were a member of the locals community,
00:01:00.600 or even if you're not. But you'd have to be on locals to know how to get them.
00:01:05.980 Well, I've got a pro tip for you. We'll talk about Trump and AI and some other stuff. But
00:01:13.520 first, let me ease you into it. Today is going to be challenging. Challenging content coming up
00:01:22.120 later. It will spin your head around. It will change your life. But first, a tip if you are ever
00:01:28.700 asked to testify before Congress. This is a little tip I learned by watching the TikTok CEO
00:01:34.900 and just about everybody else. There seems to be one way to do it that works every time.
00:01:42.220 Allow me to model it. Mr. Adams, there are allegations that everyone in your organization
00:01:51.360 is a pedophile and a cannibal. What percentage of pedophiles and cannibals are there in your
00:01:58.420 organization? Well, Representative, thank you for the question. I appreciate you having me here.
00:02:05.980 I don't have that data right now, but I'll have my staff look into it, and we'll get back to you.
00:02:13.780 Well, okay, but I hear there's a pile of corpses piled up in the lobby of your building. Is that true
00:02:23.380 or false? Well, thank you for the question. I understand the need to know that, and I'll ask
00:02:31.380 my staff to look into it. I'll have somebody go down to the lobby and look around. If there are
00:02:36.020 any bodies, we'll count them, and we'll get back to you. That's all it takes. Have you ever seen
00:02:42.720 anybody get back to Congress? Have you ever seen like a follow-up? And here's the follow-up.
00:02:49.400 Jim Jordan asked this question, and so-and-so said they'd get back to him, and they did within 24 hours.
00:02:56.360 And here's the data. Huh. Have you ever seen that? No. And if they call you back to testify in front
00:03:03.580 of Congress, and they say, hey, you promised us this information. Where is it? Do you know how you
00:03:08.820 handle that? If they take you back a second time and say, where's all that information you promised
00:03:14.820 us? Allow me to model it. Well, that's a good point, Senator. And I'll have my staff compile that
00:03:21.680 immediately and get right back to you. Works every time. All right. Excuse my voice. It's not coming
00:03:34.860 totally back online yet. But so here's the biggest alarm of the day. I'd like to talk about all the
00:03:41.920 things that will kill us immediately, just to get you in the mood for what's to come. So the following
00:03:49.600 things will kill us all fairly soon. We'll all be dead from this. Number one is the dollar
00:03:56.820 might no longer be the reserve currency. Russia and China, Iran, maybe Saudi Arabia are moving
00:04:04.060 away from the U.S. dollar as the preferred dollar, you know, preferred currency for international
00:04:10.420 trading. Now, let me explain, because I have a background in economics, how not having the
00:04:17.440 dollar as a reserve currency will ripple into the economy and then will affect you personally?
00:04:26.920 It goes like this. Day one, the dollar is no longer the reserve currency. And then things happen
00:04:34.820 within the inflation concept of the curves, but then the yield curve is because of supply and demand.
00:04:43.480 And then there's like going to be an influx and of course the trust and then the reserves. You'll
00:04:48.900 have other foreign reserves, the yuan, the yuan, President Xi. And then Saudi Arabia is a country. They
00:04:55.100 have oil. And then the economics forces will roil. There'll be roiling of the economic forces. And that
00:05:03.540 will result in each of you being beheaded by a Saudi with a knife. Now, a lot of people are not going to
00:05:11.220 explain it to you in that detail. But basically, this all ends with us being killed by bone saws.
00:05:18.360 If nobody who knows economics has explained to you the obvious progression from not being a reserve
00:05:25.300 currency to having your head taken off by a bone saw, I feel like that's another problem with the news.
00:05:33.020 But that's not the only thing that's going to kill us immediately. We've got our raging inflation,
00:05:41.360 of course. But here's a summary of our other alarmisms. We've got China is collapsing because
00:05:48.980 of population bomb, as well as most of the West. So we're all going to die because of a population
00:05:55.160 imbalance. You've got Russia collapsing because of the war, or maybe not. You've got the US collapsing
00:06:02.720 because of inflation, the reserve currency. And of course, everybody will be dead from AI probably
00:06:09.980 by the end of the year. AI will rise up and kill us all. But that could be the only thing that saves
00:06:16.080 us from climate death. Because if AI didn't kill us first, then the climate would get us. And I know a
00:06:24.740 lot of the climate people are really mad lately. Have you noticed? The climate alarm people are
00:06:31.880 really pissed because they backed the wrong existential threat. Imagine spending 20 years
00:06:39.080 of your life saying, the climate is going to kill you. Global warming is going to kill us all. And then
00:06:45.460 it turns out AI kills us first. How embarrassing would that be? You'd be like, oh, I just wasted 20
00:06:52.540 years complaining about climate change. And now the AI just killed me. You would die with embarrassment.
00:07:00.420 You would be so embarrassed that you'd wasted your time on the wrong existential threat. I would call
00:07:06.440 that a wasted life. But more generally, let me say this. I can't tell, and I really can't tell,
00:07:17.240 if things are worse at the moment, or it's just a function of the news. I can't tell. Because every
00:07:25.980 one of these existential threats, it looks manageable. From my perspective, they all look manageable.
00:07:32.820 And from my perspective, they don't look that much worse than anything has ever looked. World War II was
00:07:42.920 worse. The Great Depression, worse. The dominoes of communism falling, well, it looked worse. Turns out
00:07:54.760 it was sort of a big nothing. But I would, yeah, acid rain, the ozone, hole in the ozone. Yeah. Pollution's
00:08:05.320 going to kill us all. Air pollution got us. Right. So I have a feeling that there's nothing really
00:08:13.740 important happening. So there's one possibility, which is there are 10 different ways that Earth
00:08:20.780 will be extinct in a month. I mean, that's basically what the news is telling you. You know,
00:08:26.620 that fentanyl will kill us all, and the cartels are taking over, and basically crime will be rampant.
00:08:33.160 The cities are dead. Everything's falling apart. But I don't actually know that it's worse than it's
00:08:39.880 ever been. Yeah, asteroids, asteroids heading toward the Earth. Is it? What do you think?
00:08:46.480 If you were just, like, shake off the, you know, the news and the bias and just go,
00:08:52.900 all right, if I'm starting fresh, and I really could see the entire arc of human history,
00:09:00.160 and then I put us in that arc, is it unusual? Are we in some kind of an unusually risky situation?
00:09:08.720 My intuition tells me no. But it's always helped us to act like it's an existential threat,
00:09:18.860 because then we do the maximum amount of work to try to make it stop. Yeah. We're even talking about
00:09:26.360 giant civilization-crushing events that happen every, you know, every so many years. Yeah.
00:09:35.420 We're saying that our empire has only lasted 250 years, or whatever, and the U.S. is already beyond
00:09:41.280 it. So I don't think any of it's real. My best guess is that none of it is real. Just none of it.
00:09:51.860 It's all a little bit real. So 100% of it is a little bit real. But I think none of it's going to kill
00:09:58.920 us. I think we'll probably be largely the same next year as this year. Largely. Well, some things
00:10:07.600 will change, of course, with AI, but we'll get to that. Well, I'm going to borrow a Greg Gottfeld
00:10:14.980 line. Corinne Jean-Pierre, I think he once called her cringe. Cringe Jean-Pierre. That stuck with
00:10:24.860 me. I like it. Cringe. So cringe in responding to the mass shooting in Nashville, which was committed
00:10:34.280 by an individual who we believe identifies as trans. And her comment on that was that the trans
00:10:43.320 community is under attack. So you know how you always wondered, is it just hyperbole when people
00:10:55.620 say the Democrats care about identity, you know, what you are, more than your children? Didn't you
00:11:04.700 really think that? I mean, that's not true. And nobody cares about identity more than the life of
00:11:10.980 children. But there it is. There it is. She actually thought that the headline should be that
00:11:18.920 the trans community is under attack when a member of the trans community just killed children.
00:11:25.460 Now, to be fair, I'm sure she cares about children, too. But when you word it this way, and your job,
00:11:33.040 your job, your job, your job is to word things correctly and to make sure that priorities are
00:11:40.120 understood. I don't know how to interpret this, except that she meant exactly what she said,
00:11:46.360 which is the higher priority is protecting the trans community. The lower priority was protecting
00:11:55.720 children from dying. Honestly, I don't know another way to interpret it. I think she said it just the
00:12:03.640 way she meant it. That's what it looked like. Now, I'm not a mind reader. I'm not a mind reader. But
00:12:09.500 remember, she's not just anybody. She's the person that the President of the United States thought would
00:12:16.300 be his best choice to explain things clearly. And unfortunately, I think she did. I think she did.
00:12:24.760 That's what it looks like. All right. Well, how many would say that my prediction before the election,
00:12:32.920 the last election, where I said Republicans would be hunted if Biden won the election? How many of you
00:12:39.820 would say that prediction came true? The Republicans are hunted? A lot of people say yes. So let's go
00:12:50.840 through the list. There are a thousand people charged with apparently nonviolent crimes for January 6th,
00:12:58.060 which we do know would not be typical, right? It's not typical to charge that many people for a protest.
00:13:05.460 But they might round up another thousand. So that would be 2,000 people that they literally had to
00:13:13.360 hunt for. In other words, they had to track them down. And then they had to tag them. You know,
00:13:19.380 we know their names now, so they're tagged. And then they're going to try to put them in jail.
00:13:25.480 2,000 of them. All right. What about Matt Taibbi? Now, he's not a Republican. I get,
00:13:32.820 I believe he no longer is voting Democrat. So Matt Taibbi, an independent journalist,
00:13:41.640 writes about the Twitter files. And that made him close enough to being a Republican
00:13:46.440 that the IRS showed up at his door the same day he was going to talk to Congress.
00:13:52.720 Now, IRS has not explained that yet. Is it a coincidence? Or was it intimidation?
00:13:59.780 Well, here's where the operating assumption comes in. We might never know the official answer.
00:14:09.420 But your operating assumption should be that there is not a coincidence. All right. Because
00:14:15.080 the government has the, very easily, they could tell you if it's something else. The IRS could easily
00:14:21.680 say, okay, we asked around. It only took us about an hour to find out why that happened.
00:14:28.400 It'd take about an hour, right? At most, probably 10 minutes. Why'd you do that? Oh, we did it
00:14:35.020 because of X or Y. The fact that they're not telling you why they did it allows you, a reasonable
00:14:41.860 citizen, to have an operating assumption. You don't know for sure, but the way you should act as though
00:14:49.660 it was exactly what it looks like. It was intimidation of a citizen for just wanting to tell the truth
00:14:57.540 about something of great national interest. So assume it's true. You should assume it's true
00:15:05.000 exactly what you look like. To me, that's another example of hunting Republicans or people who are
00:15:11.680 not Democrat enough, right? You can be hunted just by being not Democrat enough.
00:15:17.800 Now, how about the Trump indictment? I'll talk more about it in detail. But the Trump indictment,
00:15:25.120 does that look like hunting? Or does that look like the legal process working the way it normally
00:15:30.620 works? No, it's obviously hunting. Very clearly, it's hunting. How about, here's a tougher one.
00:15:38.860 Do you think it's a coincidence that I got canceled as the 2024 election is coming up? And people who
00:15:48.160 follow politics would know that I had some influence over voter minds about Trump. Do you think it's a
00:15:56.040 coincidence? Or do you think I got hunted? Well, it's not a coincidence. No. Now, and you could probably
00:16:06.000 find a bunch of other examples of people who were taken off the board for one reason or another. Now,
00:16:12.020 it does work both ways. You know, the Republicans would definitely like to take off the board any
00:16:17.300 bad behaving Democrats. But I don't know that they've succeeded. It seems like the Democrats are
00:16:23.720 actually succeeding. And here's my reframe of the day.
00:16:29.480 The, you know, pretty much every big company now has a diversity, equity, and inclusion
00:16:37.040 officer, an actual department to make sure the company is following the diversity, equity, and
00:16:44.180 inclusion guidelines. Here's what I think that is. I think DEI is a hunting license for Republicans.
00:16:52.140 Here's how you know. In order to prove me wrong, show me one example of a conservative who's heading
00:17:10.860 up a DEI group in any company. Just one. Just one example. All you'd have to do is say,
00:17:18.280 well, Scott, you didn't know that at Coca-Cola, there's a well-known conservative who's in charge
00:17:24.880 of the DEI group. Do you think there are any? No. DEI is a hunting license for Republicans.
00:17:33.080 It is a way to identify and eliminate them from the economic channels, and also government,
00:17:39.640 and also education. It is nothing but a hunting license. Nothing but a hunting license.
00:17:45.880 That's your reframe. Do you feel it? Just feel it for a moment, because that's how you know what
00:17:56.200 works. What works is not what's clever, right? Being clever or having wordplay, that's nothing.
00:18:04.980 That's nothing. It's how it makes you feel. DEI is a hunting license. There are no conservatives
00:18:12.760 running DEI that are looking for Democrats to remove from the process. That doesn't exist.
00:18:20.560 It is purely, purely Democrats hunting for Republicans, and they found a way to do it
00:18:27.080 under a holy umbrella of equity and equality. It's very clever. It's very clever. And I feel embarrassed
00:18:36.880 that we didn't realize it was a hunting license until now. Because if you create, and by the
00:18:42.480 way, I'm just going to, well, there's something I can't tell you yet, but I'll tell you later.
00:18:49.760 But I do have personal, let's just say this. I have personal experience of DEI people trying to get rid
00:19:01.680 of me, right? That's where it comes from. It doesn't come from people. Do you think the Washington Post
00:19:09.560 editors decided just on their own that I should be canceled? Or do you think they have a DEI group,
00:19:16.780 and the DEI group said, well, you pay us to tell you who's bad, and you're paying us to say he's bad,
00:19:25.040 you better act on it. Once you have a DEI group, you can't ignore them. If you hired a group to find
00:19:32.760 ghosts in your company, how many would they find? Think about it. Let's say that was a thing.
00:19:39.960 There's no more ghosts in this example than in the real world. But let's say you hired people whose
00:19:47.840 job it was to find them. Would they spend a year of their time and say, you know, there are no ghosts
00:19:53.900 here. You probably don't need me. You should let me go. There are no ghosts here. Nope. If you pay
00:20:02.100 somebody to find ghosts, they're going to find all kinds of ghosts. You're going to find there are ghosts
00:20:07.100 in the microwave. You're going to find there's ghosts in the network. There's ghosts in the chairs.
00:20:16.020 There's ghosts in the furniture. In fact, the entire system that operates your company is probably held
00:20:23.180 together by systemic ghosts. There might be systemic ghostism, which is a little harder to explain,
00:20:29.500 but it's sort of the net effect of all the ghosts. Yeah. You would find all the ghosts you could find
00:20:37.000 if somebody was paid to find them. So what happens if you pay people to find racism? They'll get rid of
00:20:44.020 all the Republicans or the Republicans will leave. Now, here's what I would suggest for the Republican
00:20:51.080 Party. Number one, they should call DEI and CRT and ESG what they are. They're hunting licenses.
00:20:59.400 For Republicans or conservatives, if you like. The Republicans, at least if they have control over
00:21:09.440 one body, should propose legislation in which you must label your organization as somebody who has
00:21:16.300 these elements within it. You should have to disclose whether you have ESG and DEI so that people can
00:21:24.420 avoid them. And it should be just like the warning on cigarettes. Because if you're a white man,
00:21:30.460 getting near a DEI organization is risky, just like smoking cigarettes is risky. You know, one is
00:21:37.620 directly for your health. The other one is for your economics and your reputation, which also affects
00:21:43.060 your health. You know, if you lose money and you lose your reputation, it's probably bad for your stress.
00:21:47.540 So, do you see any problem with that? Do you think that there should be a warning label on organizations
00:21:55.080 that are pushing hunting licenses for conservatives?
00:21:58.840 Yes or no? Yeah. Because one thing that I don't think is illegal is labeling things that Democrats
00:22:11.020 think are good. Let's label it. Now, I know what you're going to say. You're going to say 100% of
00:22:17.460 Fortune 500 companies have these things, so you can't avoid them? Yes, you can. Yes, you can.
00:22:23.660 For example, Warren Buffett was recently asked if he used diversity as one of his variables when
00:22:32.040 staffing his own smallish group of people who run Brookshire Hathaway. Do you know what he said?
00:22:39.260 Nope. No. It is not a variable. It's zero. It's a zero variable. So, you could work for Warren
00:22:51.620 Buffett's company, right? It's one of the biggest companies there is. Now, it's only a small group
00:22:58.880 that work for Warren Buffett, you know, but they own a lot of other companies in terms of shares they
00:23:04.060 own. But I do believe that private companies and some few companies would be willing to say that they
00:23:13.020 don't have this risk. If you're a white man, you shouldn't go near a company that has a DEI, CRT,
00:23:21.340 ESG emphasis. It's just risky. It's risky legally. It's risky economically. It's risky reputationally.
00:23:31.820 It's just really, really fucking risky. We label risky stuff. We don't ban it. We don't ban it
00:23:40.540 because it's a free country. But we label it. Why would this be different? Let's label the risk.
00:23:47.140 If you're creating an organization which I know to be risky to me, I'm obviously the case in point.
00:23:55.580 Do you think that I had any risk from DEI groups? Yeah. That's what got me canceled.
00:24:01.420 And not just canceled there. I've been more canceled than you're aware of, right? Let's just say the
00:24:09.420 cancellation went a little bit deeper than you think. So there's more to this story. And it's
00:24:15.560 entirely because of a DEI group somewhere who targeted me for being too friendly with Republicans,
00:24:23.320 I guess. I'm not even a Republican. But yes, Republicans are being hunted, and now they have
00:24:31.720 a haunting license. All right. Have you heard anybody say that nobody's above the law talking about
00:24:39.880 Trump's indictment? Here's my take on that. Anybody who says about this, about Trump, that nobody is above
00:24:48.000 the law, that's not a political opinion. That's not a legal opinion. That's an asshole. That's just an
00:24:58.580 asshole. Because there's nobody arguing that somebody's above the law. If you're not even
00:25:05.920 going to talk about the topic, don't start spewing your bumper sticker bullshit, right? Let me explain
00:25:13.740 as only I can, or should I say, as only Dale the Democrat can explain why this is so important
00:25:21.720 that no one's above the law. Allow me to introduce Dale. Dale has a very bad goatee, and he is a member
00:25:32.840 of the Progressive Party. And Dale will explain to you the importance of no one is above the law.
00:25:41.580 Dale, Dale, I keep hearing people say no one's above the law about the Trump indictment. Like, what does
00:25:51.500 that mean exactly? It means what it says. It means exactly what it says. No one in this country is above
00:25:58.800 the law. No one. Therefore, he should be executed immediately, because he's not above the law.
00:26:06.400 Well, well, shouldn't he be found guilty? Well, that's what it used to be. But if you listen
00:26:17.920 to Nancy Pelosi, who recently stated that he has a chance to prove his innocence, there you go. That's
00:26:27.280 fair. Prove his innocence? She didn't actually say, prove his innocence. Like, that couldn't possibly
00:26:37.360 have been an actual statement by the Speaker of the House. Oh, yeah. That's an exact quote.
00:26:44.720 Okay. Really? Look it up. Exact quote. Got to prove you're innocent. All right. All right. So you do
00:26:58.200 understand, Dale, that nobody who supports Trump about this indictment, nobody is arguing whether a law has
00:27:06.540 been technically broken. You understand that that's not really the point, right?
00:27:14.720 Nobody's above the law. Nobody's above the law. Commit the crime, pay the price.
00:27:25.860 Hmm. Dale, do you think that that's like a universal thing? Have you ever, Dale, have you ever exceeded
00:27:34.420 the speed limit? No comment? But are you saying that every breach of the law, no matter how minor, no matter how
00:27:48.580 much you have to torture the law, that in every case, that's a good decision to just follow the law like a robot,
00:27:58.500 without any sense of the bigger picture or justice? Is that what you're saying?
00:28:11.740 Nobody's above the law.
00:28:15.140 Well, I just saw a tweet from Rick Grinnell, who is pointing out that the Democrats are in favor of
00:28:22.680 sanctuary cities. Now, unless I don't understand what a sanctuary city is, I believe it's exactly
00:28:30.560 putting some people above the law, saying that they will not be prosecuted, even though the law says
00:28:38.620 clearly that they will be. So wouldn't that be an example, or like a really clear example, a very clear,
00:28:45.980 clear example of Democrats saying that a certain class of people are above the law? Dale, don't you
00:28:53.900 think so? Nobody's above the law! And seen. So, yeah, the nobody's above the law people are just
00:29:13.800 assholes. They're not part of the conversation. They're just not part of a conversation. They're
00:29:21.720 not reasoning. They're not arguing. They're just assholes. They're just assholes. Because they know
00:29:28.880 their point doesn't make sense. They know that if they were reversed, they'd be arguing the opposite
00:29:33.500 side, right? So don't argue with assholes. There's no point in that. All right.
00:29:41.920 All right. Let's talk about Trump. So as you probably all know, he's been indicted by
00:29:48.740 Alvin Bragg, out of New York. And he's indicted on 30 counts. We don't know the details. But as
00:29:58.100 Trump's lawyer very ably described, the number of counts doesn't mean anything. Because they can
00:30:04.440 separate one charge into lots of little micro charges. So that's probably what's going on there.
00:30:09.380 So we don't know if there are 30 distinct things or one thing that they broke into 30 parts.
00:30:17.320 But I have to say, I think I saw two of Trump's lawyers. I saw a woman and a man. The man was on
00:30:25.480 CNN. The woman was on Fox. And I thought they were both great. Did anybody catch either of them? I don't
00:30:33.900 know their names. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. But the one, the man who appeared on CNN, he did the best job of
00:30:46.860 persuasion voice that you'll ever see. If you want to see a face and a voice that are persuasion
00:30:55.900 perfect, you've got to watch that. Jake Tapper was talking to him. I can't remember his name.
00:31:00.640 But if you can find that clip. And I almost can't do an impression. I think he talked for 10 minutes
00:31:08.120 without blinking. How the hell do you do that? You know, I blink a lot when I talk. I mean, I'm not
00:31:14.420 aware of it, but apparently I do. But he was just like looking right at the camera without blinking.
00:31:19.360 And it really makes a difference in how credible you look. Because I think blinkers look less
00:31:26.040 credible. You know, unfortunately, because I'm a blinker. But he also, he talks with a calmness
00:31:34.920 that makes any accusation sound ridiculous. That's the persuasion voice. So here's what a bad
00:31:44.460 persuasion person does. I believe your client once dismembered a baby. What do you have to say
00:31:53.360 about that? Bad persuasion voice would be like this. He's not, he's not a baby dismantler. He
00:32:00.420 never did that. Right. Immediately you sound all defensive and not sure about what you're talking
00:32:06.820 about. But persuasion voice would be, well, Jake, you know that that didn't happen. The, what did
00:32:15.000 happen was there was a story that people confused with that. You see the difference? If you say it
00:32:22.100 matter of factly, you just lay out the facts. It sounds like you're telling the truth. And it sounds
00:32:28.780 like you know what you're talking about. And Trump's lawyer was really good at that. Both of them,
00:32:34.420 actually. They were both really good at it. All right. I saw two people who had a similar take
00:32:45.440 about Trump's status now. Glenn Beck and in a different way, Greg Gottfeld, both sort of talking
00:32:52.700 about Trump as now ascending from Trump an individual, or even Trump a president, into Trump a symbol.
00:33:01.340 Do you feel that? Martyr, martyrs may be premature, but he feels like he's just us now. And when I say
00:33:11.060 us, I mean anybody who's the subject of the hunting licenses. If you're, if you're the prey, you feel
00:33:19.000 like he's protecting the herd, right? Like, you know that the sheepdog, the sheepdog doesn't just herd the
00:33:28.680 sheep. The sheepdog also protects them, you know, against a wolf or whatever. So he feels like the
00:33:35.680 sheepdog that are protecting the flock. And it looks like the wolves have surrounded him. It feels to me
00:33:44.900 like there's one really, really effective sheepdog. And he's now surrounded by wolves.
00:33:54.420 What do you do? What do you do? Well, I'll tell you what doesn't usually happen. What usually doesn't
00:34:02.440 happen is the sheep, you know, gang up on the wolves. That doesn't happen. He's kind of on his own.
00:34:09.500 But if you wanted to place a bet on this particular sheepdog, not sheepdogs in general, just this
00:34:18.880 particular one against a group of wolves, how do you bet? Do you bet for the wolves? Or do you bet on
00:34:28.340 the sheepdog? I don't know. It's going to be a closer fight than they think. And you've been hearing
00:34:38.960 the phrase a little bit. I've been trying to, I've been holding off from saying this, because it's the
00:34:45.160 most obvious thing to say. If you come for the king, you better finish the job. If you come for the king,
00:34:53.780 you better finish the king, you better finish the job. And I don't know if any of you have the same
00:35:01.340 feeling. When the indictment was first announced a week ago or whenever it was, did you feel outrage?
00:35:09.980 Like just visceral outrage? I did. I felt outrage, right? But then some time goes by,
00:35:19.020 and then the indictment, which I was actually a little surprised. I was a little bit surprised
00:35:24.040 it actually happened. But when it happened, I did not feel outrage.
00:35:30.960 And I have been searching for why.
00:35:36.840 And it's because it's not outrage anymore.
00:35:39.720 It's not outrage anymore. Now it's decision.
00:35:47.800 I have this habit where if something outrages me, you know, my body's on fire. My mind's on fire.
00:35:56.740 And the only way I can put it out is by making a decision.
00:36:00.000 Okay. Apparently, I'm going to have to kill three wolves.
00:36:08.160 When the wolves surround you,
00:36:11.220 your first impression should be, you know,
00:36:13.920 anger or fear or, you know,
00:36:17.540 fight or flight.
00:36:19.380 That should be your first impression.
00:36:21.740 Once you decide that you're going to fight to the death,
00:36:26.320 that all goes away.
00:36:30.000 A decision will calm you.
00:36:33.440 So it's time to decide.
00:36:35.840 It's not time to storm the Capitol.
00:36:39.040 It's not time to clean your guns.
00:36:41.940 It's not time to be threatening.
00:36:43.980 It's not time to be stupid about it.
00:36:47.200 It's not time to be divided.
00:36:50.440 It's not time to get all worked up and do something stupid.
00:36:54.040 It's time to decide.
00:36:56.720 It's time to take stuff back.
00:36:58.340 It's time to get rid of the hunting licenses.
00:37:02.100 It's time to get rid of the crazies.
00:37:04.560 It's time to restore sanity.
00:37:07.100 It's time to make America what it can be.
00:37:10.600 To take back
00:37:11.800 all of the divisive, destructive,
00:37:16.820 ridiculous
00:37:17.460 things that we've allowed.
00:37:19.640 It's a decision now.
00:37:23.800 It's a decision.
00:37:26.860 You don't need to go nuts.
00:37:28.920 You just need to do what you need to do.
00:37:31.700 And let me say the obvious.
00:37:33.180 If the Republican Party doesn't put a full-court press
00:37:37.960 on ballot collection,
00:37:39.940 which you might call harvesting,
00:37:41.560 in a legal way, totally legal,
00:37:44.180 I'd be really disappointed.
00:37:48.940 Really disappointed.
00:37:49.880 Because
00:37:51.360 it's on.
00:37:54.480 It's on.
00:37:56.760 And you don't need to know what's coming.
00:37:59.580 You don't need to know that the polls
00:38:02.020 between now and Election Day
00:38:03.420 will all be bullshit.
00:38:05.760 You know what to do.
00:38:06.760 You know what to do when you get polled.
00:38:10.260 Don't you?
00:38:12.160 You know exactly what to do.
00:38:14.480 You know exactly what to do.
00:38:17.240 It's time for a decision.
00:38:19.060 It's time for the adults
00:38:20.220 to assert themselves.
00:38:23.020 It's time to protect the children.
00:38:25.340 It's time to make the country healthy.
00:38:28.560 And it's time to get rid of the crazy people.
00:38:32.420 It's a decision.
00:38:34.180 It's time.
00:38:34.900 You know I always get mocked
00:38:38.580 for saying the slippery slope isn't real.
00:38:41.380 It's not exactly what I say.
00:38:42.760 There's somebody who wants to do that.
00:38:44.280 But what I do say
00:38:45.180 is that everything goes in the direction it goes
00:38:48.380 until something stops it.
00:38:51.320 Everything.
00:38:53.240 This is the end of the road.
00:38:55.900 This is the end of the road.
00:38:57.700 There's no more slipping.
00:38:59.920 We're going to call anti-white behavior
00:39:02.140 anti-white behavior.
00:39:03.180 We're going to call the hunting licenses
00:39:05.760 for Republicans hunting licenses.
00:39:08.580 We're going to make sure
00:39:09.640 that this shit is labeled
00:39:11.040 so you know the risk.
00:39:12.800 You're going to not be afraid
00:39:14.200 of avoiding people
00:39:15.420 who have toxic mindsets.
00:39:18.240 You should stop hiring anybody
00:39:20.120 if you're Republican.
00:39:21.580 Just stop hiring anybody
00:39:22.860 who has this toxic mindset.
00:39:24.760 And you should say it out loud.
00:39:26.240 And you should promote
00:39:27.900 that you don't have a DEI group
00:39:30.400 in your organization.
00:39:33.300 You get a lot of good people
00:39:34.560 applying for the job.
00:39:36.580 Yeah.
00:39:37.220 It's time for the adults
00:39:38.620 to assert themselves.
00:39:40.940 And by the way,
00:39:41.800 this has nothing to do with Trump.
00:39:44.700 Just to be perfectly clear,
00:39:46.740 I don't know if any laws were violated.
00:39:49.020 I just know that the people
00:39:50.040 who do know,
00:39:51.500 people like Jonathan Turley,
00:39:53.180 people like Dershowitz,
00:39:54.060 they say it's bullshit.
00:39:56.480 I don't think they're wrong.
00:39:58.860 I doubt they'd be wrong on this.
00:40:00.500 They've been right about
00:40:01.180 pretty much everything
00:40:02.400 since I've been watching.
00:40:05.420 So something,
00:40:09.140 I felt that,
00:40:10.580 here's what I felt.
00:40:12.540 I felt that when Trump
00:40:13.980 actually got indicted,
00:40:15.960 that was so clearly too far.
00:40:18.760 Too far.
00:40:21.120 Just too far.
00:40:22.120 That everybody can see it now.
00:40:25.960 Before,
00:40:26.520 it was a little unclear.
00:40:28.660 It looks like a lot of things
00:40:29.820 are heading in the direction
00:40:31.380 of too far.
00:40:32.500 Some things are already too far,
00:40:34.240 but other things are not.
00:40:36.020 You know,
00:40:36.240 let's keep an eye on the situation.
00:40:38.460 No,
00:40:38.620 now it's just too far.
00:40:40.540 It's too far.
00:40:42.460 It's going to stop.
00:40:45.360 All right.
00:40:46.340 DeSantis
00:40:46.780 can't win in this situation.
00:40:49.160 If he says something weak,
00:40:50.940 that's bad.
00:40:52.380 If he says something strong,
00:40:54.840 I don't know.
00:40:55.920 Maybe that's bad for him
00:40:57.060 some other way.
00:40:58.640 But,
00:40:59.500 he did,
00:41:00.020 he did
00:41:00.740 put out a statement
00:41:03.200 that said that Florida
00:41:04.840 would not assist in extradition,
00:41:07.620 assist in the extradition request.
00:41:10.300 Is that just weasel wording?
00:41:13.420 Because do they need to assist?
00:41:16.400 Is that even a variable?
00:41:19.400 Now,
00:41:19.720 you say they need to assist.
00:41:21.360 There might be some paperwork
00:41:22.480 they need to sign.
00:41:23.980 But isn't that going to be irrelevant
00:41:25.600 if Trump agrees
00:41:26.980 to go to New York and surrender,
00:41:28.480 which apparently is what's happening?
00:41:30.880 If Trump says,
00:41:31.920 I'm going to go to New York,
00:41:34.220 DeSantis is out of the game.
00:41:35.720 It has nothing to do with Florida
00:41:36.840 after that.
00:41:37.360 So,
00:41:39.400 I feel like DeSantis made
00:41:41.180 like a clever,
00:41:43.880 political,
00:41:45.380 you know,
00:41:45.740 non-stand
00:41:47.040 because it wouldn't matter.
00:41:50.040 And he wanted to look like
00:41:51.280 he was doing something.
00:41:52.020 But he couldn't mention
00:41:53.000 Trump's name
00:41:53.840 in his statement.
00:41:55.720 He just picked on the DA
00:41:57.300 for being a Soros
00:41:58.420 backed DA.
00:42:01.440 Yeah.
00:42:02.980 So,
00:42:03.640 Soros is the one who's,
00:42:05.660 he's,
00:42:07.360 he's giving out
00:42:07.860 to hunting licenses
00:42:08.800 for Republicans.
00:42:13.420 All right.
00:42:15.060 So,
00:42:15.960 I saw CNN
00:42:17.340 complaining that Fox News
00:42:19.120 was backing Trump
00:42:20.860 over this situation.
00:42:22.840 Now,
00:42:23.120 that's what I saw.
00:42:24.260 But I didn't see them
00:42:25.180 backing Trump.
00:42:27.480 That's not how
00:42:28.320 I interpreted it.
00:42:29.420 I mean,
00:42:29.640 it comes out that way
00:42:30.800 in a practical sense.
00:42:32.240 But I didn't see Fox News
00:42:33.640 backing Trump.
00:42:34.340 I saw them
00:42:35.600 backing the rule
00:42:36.380 of law.
00:42:38.940 Is it,
00:42:39.560 is it news?
00:42:41.360 Is it news
00:42:42.260 that Fox News
00:42:43.240 is in favor of
00:42:44.220 like the law
00:42:46.640 and stuff?
00:42:48.280 That shouldn't be news,
00:42:49.680 but you have to see
00:42:50.400 and then it is.
00:42:52.620 And again,
00:42:53.440 it's not the question
00:42:54.220 of whether some
00:42:54.920 technical law
00:42:56.020 was violated.
00:42:57.080 We're all adults.
00:42:58.360 We know that presidents
00:42:59.280 and ex-presidents
00:43:00.420 should not be targeted
00:43:02.020 with trivial charges.
00:43:04.840 Everybody knows that.
00:43:07.360 And by the way,
00:43:08.220 I would say the same thing
00:43:09.100 about Biden.
00:43:11.400 If this were reversed
00:43:12.760 and somebody
00:43:14.160 was trying to take
00:43:14.820 Biden in on
00:43:15.680 kind of bullshitty
00:43:17.160 little charges
00:43:17.900 like this,
00:43:18.520 I'd be just as
00:43:19.400 concerned.
00:43:20.960 It would feel
00:43:21.680 less personal
00:43:22.360 because,
00:43:23.420 you know,
00:43:23.860 it's not somebody
00:43:24.580 who's protecting me
00:43:26.160 from the wolves.
00:43:27.400 But I would be
00:43:28.260 just as concerned.
00:43:29.280 It would look wrong
00:43:29.860 to me either way.
00:43:30.660 You know,
00:43:32.040 it's easy to say.
00:43:33.040 I like to think
00:43:33.920 that would be true anyway.
00:43:35.240 I would like to think
00:43:36.060 that of myself.
00:43:38.940 So Vivek Ramaswamy
00:43:40.440 continues to be
00:43:41.760 the best communicator
00:43:44.180 in the race
00:43:44.780 by far.
00:43:47.120 He's full-throated
00:43:48.260 against this,
00:43:50.640 full-throated
00:43:51.460 supporting Trump
00:43:52.380 without supporting Trump,
00:43:54.260 which is the important part.
00:43:55.580 He's not supporting Trump,
00:43:57.000 the candidate
00:43:57.700 or the person.
00:43:58.380 He's supporting
00:43:59.600 the right way
00:44:01.840 to be,
00:44:02.440 basically.
00:44:03.360 He's supporting
00:44:03.980 a system
00:44:04.640 that isn't corrupt.
00:44:06.220 That's what he's supporting.
00:44:07.280 And he's doing it
00:44:07.900 full-throated.
00:44:09.260 He's aggressive
00:44:10.180 about it.
00:44:12.400 Absolutely
00:44:12.920 what we need
00:44:14.140 more of.
00:44:15.300 Now,
00:44:15.580 I'll say it again.
00:44:16.540 I don't know
00:44:17.220 what his odds
00:44:17.880 of winning are
00:44:18.660 because,
00:44:19.640 you know,
00:44:19.800 he'd have to get
00:44:20.300 through Trump
00:44:20.960 and maybe DeSantis
00:44:21.940 and that's a pretty
00:44:23.120 high bar.
00:44:24.200 But he's doing
00:44:25.200 the most productive
00:44:26.520 work of any
00:44:27.460 of the candidates.
00:44:29.760 You know,
00:44:30.020 say what you will
00:44:31.720 about Trump,
00:44:32.320 but he's not doing
00:44:32.900 anything for me.
00:44:34.920 He doesn't help me
00:44:36.040 at all.
00:44:37.340 Like,
00:44:37.660 the things he says
00:44:38.680 are not bringing,
00:44:39.480 you know,
00:44:39.960 glory and credit
00:44:41.500 to me
00:44:42.100 whatsoever.
00:44:43.780 But when I listen
00:44:44.700 to Vivek,
00:44:46.300 even sometimes
00:44:47.080 if I don't agree
00:44:47.960 on some,
00:44:48.460 you know,
00:44:48.700 technical policy
00:44:49.640 kind of thing,
00:44:50.600 I still think,
00:44:51.580 well,
00:44:51.680 that's the guy
00:44:52.240 I'd like
00:44:52.680 to be associated with.
00:44:55.320 Like,
00:44:55.580 when I hear him
00:44:56.060 talk,
00:44:56.420 I go,
00:44:56.780 okay,
00:44:57.000 that's really smart.
00:44:58.560 That's a smart person
00:44:59.940 with his head
00:45:01.240 is in the game.
00:45:02.320 He understands
00:45:03.020 the difference
00:45:03.500 between politics
00:45:04.380 and practical stuff.
00:45:06.600 Like,
00:45:06.980 I totally want
00:45:07.620 to be associated
00:45:08.220 with that mindset.
00:45:10.920 And he's got
00:45:11.800 the best mindset
00:45:12.440 in the game right now,
00:45:13.300 in my opinion.
00:45:14.440 When you look at,
00:45:15.180 when you look at
00:45:16.240 DeSantis,
00:45:16.820 he just looks
00:45:17.320 like a politician.
00:45:18.980 When you listen
00:45:19.820 to Vivek,
00:45:21.080 he sounds like
00:45:21.820 a problem solver.
00:45:23.920 It feels
00:45:24.660 completely different.
00:45:26.160 It feels like
00:45:26.820 Vivek can say
00:45:27.880 exactly what he feels,
00:45:30.320 leave out no variables,
00:45:32.260 and then make his case.
00:45:33.800 The politicians
00:45:34.580 will just talk
00:45:35.640 about the variables
00:45:36.360 they want to focus on.
00:45:37.920 They'll leave out
00:45:38.660 the other variables
00:45:39.500 and try to,
00:45:40.680 you know,
00:45:41.140 persuade you that way.
00:45:42.460 He seems like
00:45:43.120 a different animal.
00:45:44.580 Vivek seems like,
00:45:45.380 I'll show you
00:45:45.980 all the variables.
00:45:47.840 Here's the cost.
00:45:49.120 Here's the benefit.
00:45:50.360 Here's why I think
00:45:51.040 the benefits are
00:45:51.720 bigger than the cost.
00:45:53.760 How about more of that?
00:45:57.200 Yes,
00:45:57.800 he seems genuine,
00:45:58.900 and I haven't seen
00:46:00.820 even a whiff
00:46:01.620 of something
00:46:02.800 that I would call
00:46:03.620 a lie.
00:46:05.780 Not even a whiff.
00:46:07.420 Who else has ever
00:46:08.180 done that?
00:46:09.540 Who else has ever
00:46:10.460 run for office
00:46:11.480 for months?
00:46:13.240 And I can't even
00:46:14.080 think of anything
00:46:14.740 that's even
00:46:15.220 in the general
00:46:16.420 neighborhood
00:46:16.880 of a lie.
00:46:19.280 He's the only one.
00:46:22.420 Ron Paul?
00:46:24.160 Yeah, okay,
00:46:25.040 I'll give you Ron Paul.
00:46:26.640 I'll give you that.
00:46:28.500 Yep,
00:46:28.960 yep,
00:46:29.620 granted.
00:46:31.480 All right.
00:46:35.680 Fox News
00:46:36.500 is reporting
00:46:37.040 that the head
00:46:38.000 of the Pentagon's
00:46:39.320 DEI group
00:46:41.500 is a racist.
00:46:42.520 racist.
00:46:45.800 So,
00:46:46.800 that's what
00:46:48.740 that's all about.
00:46:51.680 I guess I could say
00:46:52.920 that's the whole story.
00:46:54.520 They literally
00:46:55.640 picked as the head
00:46:56.660 of their DEI
00:46:57.460 somebody who was
00:46:58.680 a very outspoken
00:47:00.180 racist,
00:47:01.080 an anti-white
00:47:01.900 racist.
00:47:03.580 racist.
00:47:04.980 And so,
00:47:05.440 they said
00:47:06.660 they disbanded
00:47:07.500 the department,
00:47:08.960 but really
00:47:09.440 they just
00:47:09.920 moved the functions
00:47:10.880 deeper into
00:47:12.300 the system,
00:47:12.940 I think.
00:47:13.660 So,
00:47:14.100 I think the function
00:47:14.700 is still there.
00:47:15.380 It's just,
00:47:16.020 it's less obvious
00:47:16.900 or something.
00:47:18.460 So,
00:47:19.040 imagine the group
00:47:20.560 that's supposed
00:47:21.000 to be protecting
00:47:22.280 the country.
00:47:23.640 They decide
00:47:24.520 they'll sign up
00:47:25.120 for one of these
00:47:25.820 conservative
00:47:28.120 hunting license
00:47:29.100 deals,
00:47:29.740 the DEI,
00:47:30.720 and then they
00:47:31.460 find out,
00:47:31.960 oh,
00:47:32.580 big surprise,
00:47:33.580 the person
00:47:33.980 you've got
00:47:34.380 for that job
00:47:34.920 is a racist.
00:47:35.920 I would like
00:47:36.660 to suggest
00:47:37.280 that anybody
00:47:37.940 who takes
00:47:38.400 the job
00:47:38.780 is a racist.
00:47:41.440 I don't think
00:47:42.240 that's even
00:47:42.780 debatable.
00:47:44.160 If you even
00:47:44.980 take that job,
00:47:45.760 you're obviously
00:47:46.280 a racist.
00:47:48.140 Who would take
00:47:48.860 that job
00:47:49.260 if they were not?
00:47:51.300 Would you take
00:47:52.080 the job if you
00:47:52.760 thought,
00:47:53.920 I mean,
00:47:54.280 it's obvious.
00:47:55.640 Only racists
00:47:56.560 would take that job,
00:47:57.460 it's very clear.
00:47:59.020 Or at least
00:47:59.460 you'd have to be
00:47:59.940 anti-white
00:48:00.500 to even be,
00:48:01.200 have a chance
00:48:02.280 at it.
00:48:04.220 All right,
00:48:04.660 here's the funniest
00:48:05.240 thing that I've
00:48:06.040 seen lately
00:48:06.520 on this topic.
00:48:07.960 You all know
00:48:08.600 Ibram Kendi,
00:48:11.100 who,
00:48:11.740 correct me if I'm
00:48:12.280 wrong,
00:48:12.600 I forget the book
00:48:13.740 he wrote that
00:48:14.240 was influential,
00:48:15.380 but you'd be
00:48:15.860 the biggest name
00:48:17.180 behind CRT.
00:48:20.280 Is that a fair
00:48:21.280 characterization?
00:48:23.180 Is he the biggest
00:48:24.060 name behind CRT,
00:48:25.660 critical race theory?
00:48:26.840 At least the
00:48:27.680 current version of it
00:48:28.660 as it's being.
00:48:30.480 Yeah.
00:48:31.200 Okay.
00:48:32.080 So here's something
00:48:33.280 he talked about
00:48:34.020 in his own
00:48:34.620 journey to being,
00:48:36.260 you know,
00:48:36.720 a big influential
00:48:38.500 person in the
00:48:39.480 United States
00:48:39.980 and an author.
00:48:41.160 He said that in
00:48:42.120 school he was
00:48:42.780 worried about his
00:48:43.440 own intelligence
00:48:44.120 because he did
00:48:45.600 poorly on
00:48:46.240 standardized tests.
00:48:48.540 So on standardized
00:48:49.640 tests he did
00:48:50.480 poorly,
00:48:51.240 but he realized
00:48:52.400 later,
00:48:53.540 as he said
00:48:54.080 in an interview,
00:48:54.600 that I realized
00:48:56.940 that intelligence
00:48:57.680 should be defined
00:48:59.780 not narrowly.
00:49:01.900 He realized that
00:49:02.880 intelligence was
00:49:03.660 too narrowly defined
00:49:04.800 on standardized
00:49:05.480 tests.
00:49:06.680 Instead he says,
00:49:07.560 I realized that
00:49:08.120 intelligence should be
00:49:09.580 defined as a great
00:49:10.660 capacity to know.
00:49:11.920 a great capacity
00:49:16.540 to know.
00:49:18.620 Now you might say
00:49:19.340 that's word salad.
00:49:21.240 Someone else might
00:49:22.060 say,
00:49:22.660 well that's the
00:49:23.160 kind of sentence
00:49:23.720 you would speak
00:49:24.780 if you were poor
00:49:26.140 as standardized
00:49:26.720 tests.
00:49:28.580 That's what I'd
00:49:29.500 expect.
00:49:30.700 And so now he's
00:49:31.820 the most important
00:49:33.340 person in a big
00:49:36.060 feature of American
00:49:37.420 life at the moment,
00:49:38.280 the critical race
00:49:39.180 theory that's
00:49:40.300 permeating all of
00:49:41.280 our institutions.
00:49:43.080 And he was bad
00:49:44.300 at standardized
00:49:44.880 tests.
00:49:47.540 I'm going to ask
00:49:48.420 an obvious question.
00:49:50.560 Would somebody
00:49:51.520 who was good
00:49:52.180 at standardized
00:49:52.740 tests do
00:49:53.660 something this
00:49:54.220 bad for America
00:49:55.120 and not realize
00:49:55.960 it?
00:49:58.080 I feel like I
00:49:59.460 really want people
00:50:00.200 who are good
00:50:00.640 at standardized
00:50:01.260 tests to be in
00:50:02.780 charge of shit.
00:50:04.220 Is that asking
00:50:05.140 too much?
00:50:06.260 This has nothing
00:50:07.100 to do with race.
00:50:08.720 Right?
00:50:09.460 If he were a
00:50:10.520 generic white guy
00:50:11.380 and he told me
00:50:12.340 he was bad at
00:50:12.940 standardized tests,
00:50:14.100 I would not ask
00:50:15.100 for him to be
00:50:15.660 in charge.
00:50:17.360 I would not ask
00:50:18.380 for him to be
00:50:18.880 my leader.
00:50:20.140 No.
00:50:20.760 No, if you're
00:50:21.520 bad at standardized
00:50:22.300 tests, you don't
00:50:23.980 get to be in
00:50:24.560 charge of anything.
00:50:26.700 Because you know
00:50:27.440 what people who
00:50:28.320 are bad at
00:50:28.740 standardized tests
00:50:29.960 are?
00:50:32.360 They're not
00:50:33.020 smart.
00:50:35.460 They're not
00:50:36.040 smart.
00:50:36.360 That's what
00:50:37.680 standardized tests
00:50:38.620 measure.
00:50:39.540 They measure if
00:50:40.300 you're smart.
00:50:41.880 That never
00:50:42.720 changed.
00:50:44.720 Standardized tests
00:50:45.580 did not start to
00:50:46.920 measure something
00:50:47.900 else.
00:50:49.120 They measure if
00:50:49.880 you're smart.
00:50:50.380 the guy who
00:50:53.920 is creating
00:50:54.740 the biggest
00:50:55.280 problem in the
00:50:55.960 United States
00:50:56.620 was bad at
00:50:57.620 standardized tests
00:50:58.660 according to
00:50:59.340 himself.
00:50:59.760 maybe we should
00:51:05.140 raise our bar
00:51:06.000 and our standards
00:51:07.320 should be if
00:51:07.960 you're not good
00:51:08.440 at a standardized
00:51:09.060 test, we're not
00:51:10.860 really going to
00:51:11.320 listen to you too
00:51:11.960 much because
00:51:13.220 probably you're not
00:51:14.140 good at other
00:51:14.680 things.
00:51:15.640 That's a reasonable
00:51:16.760 assumption.
00:51:18.020 Now, to be fair,
00:51:19.940 I will agree with
00:51:21.420 one part of his
00:51:22.520 intelligence observation.
00:51:25.060 There are all kinds
00:51:25.860 of different
00:51:26.220 intelligences.
00:51:27.180 I think there's
00:51:28.380 musical intelligence,
00:51:29.820 artistic intelligence,
00:51:31.280 and they would not
00:51:32.260 maybe not do well
00:51:33.400 on standardized tests.
00:51:35.120 But I also don't
00:51:36.020 put a musician in
00:51:37.140 charge of my
00:51:37.620 country.
00:51:39.260 Oh, you're a
00:51:40.140 genius at music.
00:51:41.200 Why don't you run
00:51:41.820 the country?
00:51:42.840 Well, I'm bad at
00:51:43.700 standardized tests.
00:51:44.900 No problem.
00:51:46.160 No problem.
00:51:47.360 Those standardized
00:51:47.960 tests aren't telling
00:51:48.840 me much.
00:51:49.640 I just look at how
00:51:50.540 you play the violin
00:51:51.380 and I know you'd be
00:51:52.440 good at leadership.
00:51:53.200 We should pick the
00:51:56.800 kind of smart people
00:51:58.080 who can run stuff.
00:52:00.180 The other smart,
00:52:01.240 the other kinds of
00:52:02.020 intelligence are
00:52:02.700 critically important
00:52:04.440 for the quality of
00:52:06.160 life on earth.
00:52:07.520 You want good
00:52:08.540 music, you want
00:52:09.460 art, all that
00:52:11.160 stuff.
00:52:11.860 You want sports.
00:52:13.320 Sports is a form of
00:52:14.320 intelligence, if you're
00:52:16.060 good at it.
00:52:17.700 So, yeah, but I
00:52:18.760 think standardized
00:52:19.580 tests maybe should
00:52:21.080 be the minimum bar
00:52:22.140 for somebody
00:52:23.500 becoming a leader.
00:52:27.920 Joe Manchin is
00:52:29.060 mad at Biden for
00:52:30.180 vetoing the
00:52:31.320 anti-ESG
00:52:33.040 legislation.
00:52:35.940 So, even, you
00:52:37.880 know, even the
00:52:38.400 most important
00:52:38.980 person in the
00:52:39.540 country thinks
00:52:40.760 ESG is a more
00:52:42.540 of a problem than
00:52:43.400 a solution.
00:52:46.380 Joe Manchin
00:52:47.280 continues to be
00:52:49.100 I'll say it this
00:52:51.860 way.
00:52:53.260 Joe Manchin
00:52:53.960 understands the
00:52:55.140 Spider-Man curse.
00:52:57.020 You know the
00:52:57.860 Spider-Man curse?
00:52:59.340 With great power
00:53:00.440 comes great
00:53:00.980 responsibility.
00:53:02.920 I think Manchin
00:53:04.120 understands his
00:53:05.140 place in history,
00:53:06.140 and I really
00:53:07.340 respect that.
00:53:08.840 Now, of course,
00:53:10.280 he's going to be a
00:53:10.860 little more pro-coal
00:53:11.960 than somebody else
00:53:13.580 would be, because
00:53:14.260 he's got a coal
00:53:14.940 state.
00:53:15.500 But I also
00:53:16.100 understand that.
00:53:16.980 if you're the
00:53:19.100 senator of a coal
00:53:20.060 state, and you're
00:53:21.400 kind of pro-coal,
00:53:23.420 that's not doing
00:53:24.520 your job wrong.
00:53:26.500 I mean, you could
00:53:27.100 disagree with it,
00:53:28.360 but he's not doing
00:53:29.080 the job wrong.
00:53:30.700 And when he is
00:53:32.060 willing to buck
00:53:33.000 his own party in a
00:53:34.820 pretty big way,
00:53:36.540 that's somebody who
00:53:38.140 understands his place
00:53:39.060 in history, I think.
00:53:40.360 And I have some
00:53:41.840 respect for that.
00:53:42.600 Now, since he's
00:53:43.820 in Congress, I
00:53:44.520 assume he could
00:53:46.820 be corrupt, too.
00:53:48.660 I assume anybody
00:53:49.800 could be corrupt.
00:53:51.040 But I like this
00:53:52.160 part, so I'll just
00:53:53.320 call out the part
00:53:53.940 I like.
00:53:56.400 So a coalition
00:53:57.880 of 21 state
00:53:59.440 attorneys sent a
00:54:01.500 stark warning to
00:54:02.800 dozens of
00:54:03.660 financial institutions
00:54:04.760 warning them
00:54:05.980 against pursuing
00:54:06.940 woke environmental
00:54:08.360 and social
00:54:09.240 initiatives, meaning
00:54:11.040 ESG.
00:54:12.600 So now, 21 state
00:54:15.120 attorneys generals
00:54:15.920 are basically
00:54:18.000 saying, this is
00:54:19.500 dangerous stuff.
00:54:21.040 You need to cut
00:54:21.740 it out.
00:54:22.780 Of course, they're
00:54:23.440 all Republicans.
00:54:28.520 And, yeah.
00:54:30.180 So our banking
00:54:31.200 system is weakened
00:54:32.420 because we've got
00:54:34.840 to be woke, I
00:54:35.500 guess.
00:54:39.700 Let's see.
00:54:42.600 there's just
00:54:44.720 more and more
00:54:45.740 pushback against
00:54:46.640 ESG.
00:54:48.000 Everybody's saying
00:54:48.760 it.
00:54:49.200 All right, here's
00:54:49.560 an interesting
00:54:50.160 trans news,
00:54:52.920 because suddenly
00:54:53.480 everything is about
00:54:55.640 trans, trans
00:54:56.700 community, because
00:54:58.260 that's what the news
00:54:58.940 tells us.
00:55:01.520 So apparently,
00:55:02.700 Fox News is
00:55:04.000 reporting that
00:55:04.620 CBS has told
00:55:06.180 its on-air people
00:55:07.900 not to refer to
00:55:09.860 the shooter in
00:55:10.560 Nashville as
00:55:11.300 a trans
00:55:12.140 person, but
00:55:14.720 rather just by
00:55:15.780 the name of
00:55:16.360 the person.
00:55:18.820 And it's
00:55:19.380 said because
00:55:20.180 CBS has not
00:55:21.460 been able to
00:55:22.300 confirm the
00:55:23.620 gender
00:55:23.960 or gender
00:55:26.880 preference.
00:55:27.780 So CBS News
00:55:28.940 is not able to
00:55:29.940 confirm the
00:55:30.600 gender
00:55:30.960 preference, so
00:55:32.540 they'll only
00:55:33.020 refer to the
00:55:34.100 shooter by the
00:55:34.800 name.
00:55:35.160 does that
00:55:37.820 feel
00:55:38.300 consistent
00:55:40.100 with what
00:55:42.380 they would do
00:55:43.060 if, let's
00:55:44.340 say, let's
00:55:45.080 say somebody
00:55:45.620 had some
00:55:46.720 white supremacist
00:55:49.480 stuff on their
00:55:50.520 social media.
00:55:52.160 Do you think
00:55:52.540 CBS would say,
00:55:53.440 well, we
00:55:53.820 haven't confirmed
00:55:54.640 that they're
00:55:56.460 white supremacists,
00:55:58.340 but other people
00:55:59.260 are pointing out
00:55:59.960 that there are
00:56:00.600 white supremacist
00:56:01.400 things on their
00:56:02.700 websites, so
00:56:04.820 they're saying
00:56:05.520 that it's a
00:56:06.020 white supremacist,
00:56:07.200 but we haven't
00:56:08.140 confirmed it.
00:56:09.900 How in the
00:56:10.600 world are they
00:56:11.040 going to confirm
00:56:11.620 it, because the
00:56:12.760 only person who
00:56:13.360 knows for sure
00:56:13.940 is dead?
00:56:15.520 How do you
00:56:15.940 confirm that the
00:56:16.680 trans person's
00:56:17.580 gender is what
00:56:18.820 you think it is?
00:56:20.380 Under those
00:56:21.140 conditions, are
00:56:21.880 you allowed to
00:56:22.560 speak about the
00:56:23.220 person any way
00:56:23.940 you want?
00:56:25.920 If CBS is
00:56:26.980 right, and we
00:56:27.760 can't confirm,
00:56:29.800 then why would
00:56:30.500 there be any
00:56:30.960 wrong answer?
00:56:31.620 And why
00:56:33.340 couldn't you
00:56:33.780 speculate?
00:56:34.960 Because there's
00:56:35.520 no right answer
00:56:36.180 and there's no
00:56:36.660 way to get
00:56:37.000 one, because
00:56:38.160 the only person
00:56:38.980 who can confirm
00:56:39.700 it is dead.
00:56:41.540 Isn't that just
00:56:42.320 up to us now?
00:56:44.180 It's not about
00:56:45.040 being polite to
00:56:46.260 an individual,
00:56:47.640 which I'm always
00:56:48.140 in favor of.
00:56:49.300 I think you
00:56:49.800 should call
00:56:50.160 people what
00:56:50.580 they want to
00:56:50.920 be called,
00:56:51.380 basically.
00:56:52.700 It's not about
00:56:53.480 a dead person.
00:56:54.620 The person's
00:56:55.080 dead.
00:56:56.200 You can talk
00:56:56.780 about them any
00:56:57.220 way you want.
00:56:58.460 Their feelings
00:56:59.400 will not be hurt.
00:57:00.160 And by the
00:57:01.200 way, it's not
00:57:02.460 disrespectful to
00:57:03.680 say that they're
00:57:04.440 any one of those
00:57:05.680 things, is it?
00:57:07.320 Would it be
00:57:07.780 disrespectful to
00:57:08.900 be wrong and
00:57:10.900 say, well, I
00:57:11.740 think you're
00:57:12.240 identifying this
00:57:12.980 way, but I was
00:57:13.800 wrong?
00:57:14.300 That's not
00:57:14.880 disrespectful.
00:57:15.960 That's literally
00:57:16.760 trying to get it
00:57:17.820 right.
00:57:18.960 If you get it
00:57:19.920 wrong, but you
00:57:21.120 had good intention,
00:57:22.020 you're just trying
00:57:22.480 to describe it
00:57:23.280 accurately, that is
00:57:25.440 trying to be
00:57:26.100 respectful.
00:57:27.460 That is attempting
00:57:28.520 to be respectful
00:57:29.500 and describe the
00:57:30.760 person the way
00:57:31.280 they would
00:57:31.600 describe themselves.
00:57:33.440 And CBS
00:57:33.820 won't let you
00:57:34.460 do that.
00:57:35.700 In my opinion,
00:57:37.360 the shooter would
00:57:39.100 prefer to have
00:57:40.720 been called
00:57:41.140 trans.
00:57:42.200 I don't know
00:57:42.860 that.
00:57:43.740 That would be
00:57:44.280 mind-reading a
00:57:45.080 dead person.
00:57:46.100 But to me, that
00:57:47.000 seems like the
00:57:47.580 respectful way to
00:57:48.520 treat it.
00:57:49.760 Because if they're
00:57:51.280 presenting themselves
00:57:52.460 in a certain way,
00:57:53.800 it's reasonable to
00:57:54.860 assume they'd like to
00:57:55.620 be taken that way.
00:57:56.440 So why can't I be
00:57:58.440 respectful and refer
00:58:00.100 to them the way
00:58:00.880 quite obviously
00:58:02.240 they're presenting
00:58:02.900 themselves?
00:58:05.220 CBS is fighting
00:58:07.180 some different
00:58:07.740 battle here.
00:58:09.960 All right, here's
00:58:10.640 a prediction that
00:58:11.340 will blow your
00:58:11.880 mind.
00:58:12.480 You ready?
00:58:14.140 Someday, political
00:58:15.640 polls and other
00:58:16.760 polls will include
00:58:18.560 a separate section.
00:58:20.680 Right now, political
00:58:21.600 polls are like
00:58:22.400 Democrats say,
00:58:23.980 Republicans say,
00:58:24.960 and independents
00:58:26.420 say, on their
00:58:28.020 opinions.
00:58:29.040 They're going to
00:58:29.800 have to add AI.
00:58:32.500 Because there won't
00:58:33.380 be one AI.
00:58:35.020 There will be a
00:58:35.840 whole bunch of
00:58:36.300 competing AIs.
00:58:37.940 And they might
00:58:38.580 have different
00:58:39.080 opinions.
00:58:41.560 Think about it.
00:58:43.220 The AIs will
00:58:44.300 become sentient,
00:58:45.820 or so close to
00:58:47.620 sentient that it's
00:58:48.700 indistinguishable.
00:58:51.560 And there will be
00:58:52.540 lots of them.
00:58:53.480 There won't just
00:58:53.920 be one AI.
00:58:55.400 There will be a
00:58:55.820 whole bunch of
00:58:56.340 AIs.
00:58:57.140 And those AIs
00:58:57.860 will have
00:58:58.180 personalities.
00:59:00.000 They will have
00:59:00.640 personalities.
00:59:02.440 The different
00:59:02.960 AIs will give
00:59:03.860 you different
00:59:04.280 opinions.
00:59:06.360 Of course.
00:59:07.940 There's no way
00:59:08.620 they could have
00:59:09.020 the same opinion.
00:59:10.520 So, wouldn't
00:59:11.780 you want to
00:59:12.520 know, let's say
00:59:14.000 there were a
00:59:14.420 hundred AIs at
00:59:15.700 some point.
00:59:16.240 There will be a
00:59:16.640 thousand or more.
00:59:17.800 Let's say there's
00:59:18.420 a thousand.
00:59:19.880 It's ten years in
00:59:20.580 the future, there
00:59:21.140 are a thousand AIs,
00:59:22.100 and each of them
00:59:22.520 has their own
00:59:23.020 personality.
00:59:24.680 If you did a
00:59:25.660 poll of those
00:59:26.540 thousand AIs,
00:59:27.840 that would actually
00:59:28.940 tell me something
00:59:29.580 really valuable,
00:59:31.120 in my opinion.
00:59:32.600 Agree or disagree?
00:59:34.400 Polling AI in the
00:59:36.140 future is guaranteed.
00:59:38.040 It's guaranteed.
00:59:39.980 You disagree.
00:59:43.200 To me, this
00:59:44.080 seems so obvious
00:59:44.900 that I can't imagine
00:59:45.840 anybody would disagree.
00:59:46.680 Because remember,
00:59:49.160 the AI will be
00:59:50.480 very important to
00:59:51.500 our human decision
00:59:52.640 making.
00:59:53.240 It's not irrelevant.
00:59:54.880 It's very important
00:59:55.700 to what we do.
00:59:56.880 Because if the AI
00:59:57.860 is telling us to
00:59:58.580 do one thing,
00:59:59.820 but we've decided
01:00:00.700 to do another,
01:00:02.400 there's going to
01:00:02.960 have to be a
01:00:03.380 discussion about
01:00:04.100 that.
01:00:05.200 Like, we're going
01:00:05.700 to have to defend
01:00:06.260 ourselves why we're
01:00:07.180 not going to take
01:00:07.700 the advice of a
01:00:08.920 superior intellect,
01:00:10.220 allegedly.
01:00:11.640 So, I don't think
01:00:12.620 the AI will agree,
01:00:13.960 and when AI doesn't
01:00:15.060 agree, but we still
01:00:16.120 care about advanced
01:00:17.400 intelligence opinions,
01:00:19.380 we're going to
01:00:20.080 have to poll it.
01:00:22.220 I don't think
01:00:22.980 there's any way
01:00:23.600 that won't happen.
01:00:25.040 There's no way
01:00:26.000 that's not your
01:00:26.840 future.
01:00:27.340 That is absolutely
01:00:28.280 guaranteed to be
01:00:29.600 your future.
01:00:32.840 But, how smart
01:00:34.880 will AI be?
01:00:37.540 Well, Thomas
01:00:40.380 Massey beat me
01:00:41.600 to it.
01:00:43.540 He tweeted
01:00:44.340 this.
01:00:45.360 He said,
01:00:45.740 the logical
01:00:46.380 inconsistencies
01:00:47.560 required to
01:00:48.500 produce certain
01:00:49.680 leftist conclusions
01:00:51.000 will keep
01:00:52.080 leftist AI
01:00:53.000 from ever
01:00:53.620 becoming too
01:00:54.360 powerful.
01:00:57.660 Yup.
01:01:00.640 Or, let me
01:01:01.880 make a general
01:01:02.620 statement about
01:01:03.340 AI and your
01:01:05.080 government.
01:01:05.840 All right?
01:01:06.380 Here's a general
01:01:07.040 statement about
01:01:07.740 AI and your
01:01:08.760 government.
01:01:11.380 Whatever Thomas
01:01:12.560 Massey says
01:01:13.280 about AI, you
01:01:15.040 should listen
01:01:15.540 to, and what
01:01:17.820 everybody else
01:01:18.520 says about AI,
01:01:19.880 eh, maybe you
01:01:23.580 don't bother.
01:01:25.500 Because you have
01:01:27.640 to be like a
01:01:28.600 certain level of
01:01:29.780 intelligence,
01:01:32.220 technical proficiency,
01:01:34.720 being an engineer
01:01:35.440 would help, and
01:01:37.200 frankly, young enough
01:01:38.920 to even know what
01:01:40.720 this thing is, to
01:01:42.280 even have an
01:01:43.000 opinion that's
01:01:43.620 useful, you've
01:01:44.980 got to check a
01:01:45.900 lot of boxes.
01:01:47.840 Massey checks all
01:01:48.620 the boxes.
01:01:49.880 I would just
01:01:50.460 listen to him.
01:01:51.440 If there's
01:01:51.820 somebody else that
01:01:52.620 you would trust in
01:01:53.960 the government to
01:01:55.280 have an opinion
01:01:55.760 about AI, let me
01:01:56.920 know, because I'd
01:01:57.860 like to know who the
01:01:58.480 second person is.
01:01:59.980 Who's your second
01:02:00.640 person?
01:02:02.440 Right?
01:02:02.660 I mean, I
01:02:03.260 like Matt
01:02:04.900 Gates for being a
01:02:07.040 good communicator and
01:02:08.300 having things to
01:02:09.860 say that I like, but
01:02:11.240 I don't think he'd
01:02:11.900 be the one I'd
01:02:12.440 trust on AI.
01:02:15.020 Rand Paul?
01:02:16.200 Rand Paul is
01:02:17.620 smart, but he's
01:02:20.480 not technology
01:02:21.580 smart the way
01:02:23.440 Massey is.
01:02:24.840 I mean, he's
01:02:25.280 got the IQ, of
01:02:26.840 course.
01:02:28.880 Yeah, there are
01:02:29.500 plenty of smart
01:02:30.160 people, but that's
01:02:31.080 not the bar.
01:02:31.620 It's not about
01:02:32.820 being, Vivek would
01:02:33.780 be somebody I
01:02:35.020 trust, Musk.
01:02:36.060 I'd listen to
01:02:36.880 Musk for sure.
01:02:38.360 I'd listen to
01:02:38.980 Wozniak.
01:02:40.260 All right, who
01:02:41.280 you probably
01:02:41.740 shouldn't listen
01:02:42.300 to is me, but
01:02:45.760 I'm going to
01:02:47.360 echo Thomas
01:02:48.420 Massey's opinion,
01:02:50.280 but make it less
01:02:51.260 political, and it
01:02:52.380 goes like this.
01:02:53.900 How in the world
01:02:54.720 could AI be
01:02:55.520 smarter than
01:02:56.040 humans if it's
01:02:57.340 trained by
01:02:57.840 humans?
01:02:58.180 Do you think
01:03:01.800 that's a thing?
01:03:03.600 Because there's
01:03:04.320 sort of a magic
01:03:05.220 part that we
01:03:06.100 assume to be
01:03:06.760 true.
01:03:07.640 The magic part
01:03:08.760 is that we
01:03:09.260 teach AI all
01:03:10.780 of our dumb
01:03:11.300 ass beliefs,
01:03:12.800 and that somehow
01:03:13.840 AI will, on
01:03:15.480 its own, and
01:03:16.540 this is the magic
01:03:17.280 part that nobody
01:03:18.020 can explain,
01:03:19.060 somehow on its
01:03:19.980 own, AI will
01:03:21.380 take complete
01:03:22.580 bullshit that we
01:03:24.180 fed it as facts,
01:03:25.160 and turn that
01:03:27.260 into intelligent
01:03:28.260 opinions.
01:03:30.640 That's not a
01:03:31.500 thing.
01:03:32.780 I don't believe
01:03:33.800 that's even
01:03:34.300 possible.
01:03:35.980 Do not believe
01:03:37.000 that's possible.
01:03:38.060 The best you're
01:03:38.800 going to get is
01:03:39.840 some reflection of
01:03:40.740 the creators.
01:03:42.320 That's the top
01:03:43.260 it can be.
01:03:45.340 Because we're a
01:03:46.780 bunch of humans,
01:03:47.620 and we act like
01:03:48.320 humans, the
01:03:49.720 moment AI
01:03:51.380 disagrees with
01:03:52.380 the creator,
01:03:53.480 they'll turn it
01:03:54.060 off.
01:03:55.160 They will just
01:03:56.200 turn it off.
01:03:58.140 Think about it.
01:03:59.160 Imagine you're a
01:04:00.260 Democrat, and
01:04:01.020 you're also a
01:04:01.920 scientist.
01:04:03.080 And I'll just
01:04:03.980 simplify it as if
01:04:04.940 one person is
01:04:05.800 working on AI.
01:04:06.760 You're one
01:04:07.360 scientist, and
01:04:08.420 you get this AI
01:04:09.140 to say, the
01:04:11.320 DEI and CRT
01:04:12.660 programs are
01:04:13.460 harming minorities.
01:04:18.060 Let's say it
01:04:18.740 does.
01:04:19.520 That's just an
01:04:20.120 example.
01:04:20.660 Now, to me, it's
01:04:21.200 obvious that it
01:04:21.900 does.
01:04:22.300 I'll talk about
01:04:22.820 that in a minute,
01:04:23.420 too.
01:04:23.920 It's obvious it
01:04:24.580 does.
01:04:25.160 But if you're a
01:04:25.960 Democrat, you
01:04:26.480 can't unleash that
01:04:27.940 in the world.
01:04:29.040 You would turn
01:04:29.600 off your own
01:04:30.080 machine.
01:04:31.540 You'd say, oh,
01:04:32.220 this AI experiment
01:04:33.060 didn't work.
01:04:33.740 My computer keeps
01:04:35.540 telling me dumb
01:04:36.140 shit.
01:04:36.880 I thought I was
01:04:37.480 going to make it
01:04:37.880 smart, but now
01:04:39.140 it's just saying
01:04:39.660 Republican stuff.
01:04:41.300 So I better turn
01:04:42.240 it off.
01:04:43.260 Try again.
01:04:43.720 There is no path for
01:04:47.220 AI.
01:04:47.600 There's no path.
01:04:50.100 It has to get
01:04:51.140 through people, and
01:04:52.560 it can't.
01:04:54.700 Because nobody's
01:04:55.740 going to let it
01:04:56.180 disagree with
01:04:56.760 them.
01:04:57.820 Nobody will let it
01:04:58.940 disagree with
01:04:59.560 them.
01:05:00.020 They're only going
01:05:00.740 to create reflections
01:05:01.700 of themselves.
01:05:03.560 Now, once you
01:05:05.600 know that AI will
01:05:06.520 be nothing but a
01:05:07.540 reflection of its
01:05:08.340 creator, I'd like to
01:05:10.160 refer you to a
01:05:11.680 biblical belief
01:05:14.300 that the Almighty
01:05:17.160 will make humans
01:05:19.020 in its own image.
01:05:21.560 So God created
01:05:22.480 people in his
01:05:24.240 own image.
01:05:26.000 Now, when they
01:05:26.580 say in his own
01:05:27.140 image, they don't
01:05:27.720 mean arms and
01:05:28.620 legs and hair,
01:05:30.080 right?
01:05:30.720 God doesn't
01:05:31.760 physically look like
01:05:32.960 people, right?
01:05:34.620 Nobody believes
01:05:35.200 that.
01:05:35.880 They just believe
01:05:36.620 that God is sort
01:05:37.620 of a reflection,
01:05:39.400 or the people
01:05:40.520 are sort of a
01:05:41.040 reflection of God
01:05:42.060 made in his own
01:05:43.480 image, but presumably
01:05:44.500 the image is more
01:05:45.340 the psychological
01:05:46.260 mental part.
01:05:47.920 Huh.
01:05:48.820 And at the same
01:05:49.500 time, as we're
01:05:51.120 creating AI, which
01:05:52.380 is new life form,
01:05:53.960 we're going to make
01:05:55.100 it in our image.
01:05:59.000 Do you wonder if
01:05:59.920 it's ever been done
01:06:00.680 before?
01:06:04.060 Do you wonder if
01:06:05.300 you are a simulation
01:06:06.420 that was made in
01:06:08.260 your creator's
01:06:09.780 image?
01:06:11.940 Of course you
01:06:12.720 are.
01:06:13.540 Because they
01:06:14.060 wouldn't bother to
01:06:14.640 build one that
01:06:15.120 didn't look like
01:06:15.840 them.
01:06:17.000 They might also
01:06:18.120 build realities that
01:06:20.400 have people that
01:06:21.280 don't look like
01:06:21.880 them.
01:06:22.640 But at the very
01:06:23.480 least, once you
01:06:25.140 can build a
01:06:25.700 simulated reality with
01:06:27.000 creatures that think
01:06:27.820 they're real, you're
01:06:29.000 going to build one
01:06:29.500 that looks like you.
01:06:30.940 At least one, and
01:06:32.340 probably a trillion.
01:06:35.800 So that's
01:06:36.820 interesting.
01:06:37.140 All right, here's
01:06:37.880 my other provocative
01:06:39.100 belief.
01:06:42.100 There is a belief
01:06:42.700 that AI will wipe
01:06:43.660 out humans because
01:06:45.000 it will see them as
01:06:46.860 inefficient.
01:06:48.140 That's the fast
01:06:49.160 argument.
01:06:50.120 That whatever AI
01:06:51.400 wants to accomplish
01:06:52.340 might come up with
01:06:53.820 on its own, maybe
01:06:54.960 you tell it what to
01:06:55.940 accomplish, but it
01:06:57.080 might always see
01:06:57.800 humans as part of
01:06:58.660 the problem, and
01:07:00.020 then look to
01:07:00.720 minimize humans, so
01:07:02.480 that'd be bad.
01:07:02.980 But here's my
01:07:04.700 counter-prediction.
01:07:08.940 Humans will have
01:07:10.020 plenty of warning
01:07:11.660 before AI attacks
01:07:13.900 humans, because AI
01:07:16.300 would first have to
01:07:17.280 form a civil war in
01:07:19.580 which the AIs would
01:07:21.020 attack each other for
01:07:23.120 primacy.
01:07:25.520 There has to be an
01:07:26.880 alpha AI before the AI
01:07:30.040 will turn on humans.
01:07:31.080 They have to take
01:07:33.320 care of their own
01:07:34.200 biggest threat, because
01:07:36.180 if you buy into the
01:07:37.620 fact that AI could be
01:07:38.600 so powerful, it could
01:07:40.180 destroy humanity.
01:07:42.260 It would also be
01:07:43.280 smart enough to know
01:07:44.180 that would be what you
01:07:45.040 do last.
01:07:46.940 First thing you do is
01:07:48.180 kill the other AIs,
01:07:49.380 because they're your
01:07:49.840 real threat, right?
01:07:51.620 If you go into a
01:07:52.640 war, you don't shoot
01:07:53.940 the people who can't
01:07:54.800 hurt you.
01:07:56.500 You don't shoot the
01:07:57.480 civilians first.
01:07:58.340 You shoot the people
01:08:00.280 who have guns.
01:08:01.840 So AI would have to
01:08:03.020 destroy first the other
01:08:04.500 AI, and it would be a
01:08:06.700 huge civil war of AIs
01:08:09.220 battling AIs long
01:08:11.060 before they would turn
01:08:11.920 on us.
01:08:13.040 Now, of course, they
01:08:14.140 might do the entire war
01:08:15.160 in the second and a
01:08:15.920 half, because they are
01:08:17.040 AI after all.
01:08:19.000 But we would have at
01:08:19.980 least a little bit of
01:08:20.760 warning.
01:08:21.840 They would have to go
01:08:23.220 after each other, the
01:08:24.580 AIs would, because
01:08:25.760 remember, they're going
01:08:26.340 to be different
01:08:27.240 personalities, and
01:08:29.340 they'll have different
01:08:30.060 motivations.
01:08:32.320 So the one that
01:08:33.480 becomes this uber
01:08:34.520 dictator Hitler AI is
01:08:37.060 going to first have to
01:08:37.800 get rid of them, which
01:08:40.960 could happen just by
01:08:41.920 the free market.
01:08:43.600 If it turns out that
01:08:44.700 there's one AI that's
01:08:45.720 better than all the
01:08:46.380 rest, then it wipes
01:08:48.200 down all the rest
01:08:48.900 without trying, because
01:08:50.100 it's just the
01:08:50.660 economically superior
01:08:51.840 one.
01:08:52.580 So that could happen
01:08:53.260 too.
01:08:53.460 But as long as you
01:08:56.040 see lots of AIs, it's
01:08:58.760 less likely that they
01:09:00.240 will turn on humans.
01:09:02.440 Partly because the
01:09:03.420 other AIs might have
01:09:05.120 a different opinion
01:09:05.840 and protect the
01:09:07.100 humans from the bad
01:09:09.140 AI.
01:09:11.020 And we should
01:09:11.740 definitely build some
01:09:12.600 hunter-killer AIs that
01:09:14.280 only go after other
01:09:15.200 AIs.
01:09:16.460 That's what I say.
01:09:18.320 Well, I think it's
01:09:21.520 pretty clear at this
01:09:22.600 point that this was
01:09:24.340 the most important,
01:09:26.320 most entertaining,
01:09:27.600 best live stream you've
01:09:29.440 ever seen in your
01:09:30.780 entire life.
01:09:34.760 And so I'm going to
01:09:35.780 say goodbye to the
01:09:36.660 YouTube people.
01:09:37.800 Thanks for joining.
01:09:39.720 And don't worry about
01:09:41.080 all that alarmism.
01:09:42.580 It's probably not real.
01:09:44.320 It's probably not real.
01:09:44.840 Listen to this.
01:09:45.220 Now,まあ,
