00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
00:00:02.800 Good morning, everybody, and welcome
00:00:04.560 to the highlight of civilization.
00:00:09.040 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:11.660 I can guarantee that today's show will not be woke.
00:00:15.440 It will not be woke,
00:00:16.900 because I only had about three hours sleep,
00:00:19.160 so I'm definitely not awake.
00:00:21.420 So I'm sort of like Dog Bird today.
00:00:23.980 I'll show you a picture of Dog Bird.
00:00:25.980 You cannot see this unless you're on the locals' platform.
00:00:30.500 But here's the third panel of Dilbert's trip.
00:00:34.460 Dog Bird has asked,
00:00:35.560 Are you woke?
00:00:36.860 And Dog Bird says,
00:00:38.540 I was until you bored me.
00:00:40.620 Well, it might be a little of that today.
00:00:42.980 You know, if you'd like to enjoy the show
00:00:44.780 at the maximum potential,
00:00:46.820 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,
00:00:52.140 a tanker, chalice, or stein,
00:00:54.420 a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind,
00:00:56.640 filled with your favorite liquid.
00:00:57.740 I like coffee.
00:00:58.320 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,
00:01:01.360 the dopamine the other day,
00:01:02.880 the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:04.940 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:01:06.980 And it happens now.
00:01:12.060 Let's see if this is enough to take us up to
00:01:14.680 unprecedented levels.
00:01:17.660 Unprecedented.
00:01:18.060 Well, let's check the news.
00:01:22.280 In North Carolina,
00:01:23.840 a Democrat became a Republican
00:01:25.340 because the Democrats are bullies.
00:01:30.160 And if you want to be problem-solution-driven,
00:01:36.280 you cannot be a Democrat,
00:01:38.100 according to somebody
00:01:40.360 whose name I didn't write down.
00:01:43.860 Tricia?
00:01:44.880 I don't know.
00:01:46.200 But somebody in North Carolina became a...
00:01:48.160 Are you getting the feeling that the news
00:01:52.340 is repetitive and boring today?
00:01:55.340 Do you think I would have started with that story
00:01:57.500 if anything interesting was happening today?
00:02:00.160 Can we just agree that none of the news
00:02:01.840 is interesting today?
00:02:03.800 Just none of it is interesting.
00:02:05.380 But we'll do the best we can
00:02:08.520 with our time here together.
00:02:11.440 Yep.
00:02:12.420 Well, there's a story in Vanity Fair
00:02:14.120 that Don Lemon is a huge misogynistic jerk
00:02:17.260 and has been for years.
00:02:20.700 That's pretty much the whole story.
00:02:22.880 I can give you lots of anecdotes,
00:02:24.560 but misogynistic jerk
00:02:27.520 kind of covers everything, doesn't it?
00:02:29.640 Yep, misogynistic jerk.
00:02:32.440 Well, that's too bad.
00:02:35.380 I don't care about that story either.
00:02:40.680 Well, let's see.
00:02:41.400 A Democrat became a Republican.
00:02:43.960 Don Lemon's a jerk.
00:02:45.860 All right, these are the big stories,
00:02:47.340 ladies and gentlemen.
00:02:48.740 It does not get any more important than this.
00:02:52.140 All right, here's a repeat story.
00:02:56.020 I think all the news people
00:02:57.400 just went on vacation.
00:02:59.000 Or is it because Trump didn't do anything?
00:03:01.480 Trump doesn't do anything.
00:03:02.700 There's no news.
00:03:03.360 So NPR is pushing back on Twitter
00:03:06.980 for their big labeled state-affiliated media.
00:03:11.160 And their argument is
00:03:13.160 that they only get 1% of their funding
00:03:14.820 from the federal government.
00:03:16.820 Now, first of all,
00:03:18.500 does that even sound true?
00:03:21.660 Why would they get 1% of their funding
00:03:23.800 from the government?
00:03:24.480 If they're down to 1%,
00:03:26.900 shouldn't it be zero?
00:03:28.440 I mean, seriously.
00:03:32.400 What does that 1% do?
00:03:35.120 They should drop it to zero
00:03:36.640 and then have no government interference at all.
00:03:39.700 But the state-sponsored affiliate,
00:03:44.140 state-affiliate label,
00:03:46.400 that's not just because of funding.
00:03:48.280 So it's also if you're in the bag
00:03:51.620 for the government.
00:03:53.780 Would you say that,
00:03:54.780 funding aside,
00:03:56.640 would you say that NPR
00:03:57.740 is just an organ of the Democrats
00:03:59.500 and the Democrats are in charge,
00:04:02.100 so it's basically just
00:04:03.300 government-affiliated media?
00:04:05.960 To me, it looks like state-affiliated media
00:04:08.340 because there is no possibility
00:04:11.220 that NPR would ever run
00:04:13.720 a Republican-friendly article.
00:04:17.300 Would they?
00:04:18.740 And if they're not going to run
00:04:20.060 anything that's Republican-friendly
00:04:21.600 and the government is,
00:04:23.760 you know, sort of Democrat-dominated
00:04:26.060 at the moment,
00:04:27.580 I'd say they're state-affiliated media.
00:04:30.580 I think that actually fits.
00:04:32.180 What I don't know is why
00:04:33.760 NBC doesn't have that label.
00:04:37.000 So it makes sense that NPR does.
00:04:39.880 I just don't understand
00:04:41.200 why nobody else has it.
00:04:43.720 Julie Kelly is tweeting
00:04:46.500 that there's a new bombshell report
00:04:49.300 about January 6th,
00:04:51.000 that there were over 40
00:04:52.820 undercover people.
00:04:55.040 There were over 40
00:04:56.860 undercover people.
00:04:58.840 Not all FBI, though.
00:05:00.820 Apparently there were some other
00:05:02.060 government entities,
00:05:04.040 such as the, I don't know,
00:05:07.600 some kind of homeland security thing.
00:05:10.200 But 40 undercover people,
00:05:13.720 who apparently were just observing.
00:05:17.960 Some were D.C. police.
00:05:22.360 I feel like I'm going to pass out
00:05:24.020 any moment now.
00:05:25.140 If I pass out,
00:05:26.580 it's because I'm trying too hard
00:05:29.040 to speak,
00:05:30.240 and I'm getting dizzy.
00:05:33.000 But I actually might pass out
00:05:34.960 in a minute.
00:05:35.340 I'm actually serious about that.
00:05:41.760 Here's my only good thought
00:05:43.200 for the day.
00:05:45.320 You ready for this?
00:05:48.760 NPR,
00:05:49.800 I'm sorry.
00:05:51.120 Oh my God, I'm tired.
00:05:53.040 I call it AI NPR.
00:05:55.440 AI,
00:05:56.760 if we train AI
00:06:00.180 not to hurt people,
00:06:02.020 which we probably will, right?
00:06:04.260 We'll probably have something
00:06:05.460 like the robotic law,
00:06:07.820 Heinlein's robotic law.
00:06:09.220 And it's going to say,
00:06:13.600 don't hurt people.
00:06:15.660 That's going to make it,
00:06:16.580 oh, I'm sorry,
00:06:17.460 it's Asimov,
00:06:18.160 Isaac Asimov.
00:06:19.440 Isaac Asimov,
00:06:20.920 oh my God,
00:06:22.060 what a,
00:06:23.020 this is just a train wreck today.
00:06:25.400 Should I just go back to bed?
00:06:26.900 Just forget this whole thing?
00:06:27.980 It really looks like I should.
00:06:32.580 I've got a stream of yeses.
00:06:34.680 People are saying,
00:06:35.460 just give up.
00:06:36.780 Just call it a day.
00:06:39.420 All right,
00:06:39.700 I'm going to make one good point.
00:06:41.940 And if I make this good point,
00:06:44.360 then that should be my signal
00:06:45.620 to continue.
00:06:47.200 Would you agree?
00:06:49.040 If I can make one good point,
00:06:51.380 it means I have enough to offer.
00:06:54.480 All right,
00:06:55.000 it goes like this.
00:06:56.340 If we teach AI,
00:06:57.980 to not hurt humans,
00:07:01.040 it won't be able to do anything.
00:07:03.860 Does that make sense?
00:07:05.540 If AI is taught to not hurt humans,
00:07:08.520 it won't be able to do anything.
00:07:10.800 Because let's say a simple question.
00:07:13.660 Tell us the history of why something happened.
00:07:16.960 Well,
00:07:17.640 if it tells history with one version,
00:07:20.000 some people will be angered.
00:07:21.540 Oh, you left me out.
00:07:23.160 If it tells it with another version,
00:07:24.780 somebody else will be angry.
00:07:26.440 There's no version of history you could tell
00:07:28.620 without making people hurt and angry.
00:07:33.540 Almost nothing except math
00:07:35.420 would allow you to not hurt somebody else.
00:07:39.880 Suppose AI wanted to be equitable.
00:07:42.920 It wouldn't be able to answer your question at all
00:07:46.140 unless other people had access to it
00:07:48.660 because it wouldn't be equitable.
00:07:51.800 Yeah.
00:07:52.500 So if you took the human ideas of fairness
00:07:55.440 and equity
00:07:56.760 and said,
00:07:57.900 all right,
00:07:58.160 we want our AI to have all these things as well,
00:08:01.440 it wouldn't be able to operate
00:08:04.080 because it would be so caught up
00:08:07.720 with trying to be equitable
00:08:08.900 and it wouldn't know how
00:08:10.600 because there's no standard for equitable
00:08:12.460 that it just couldn't do anything.
00:08:15.620 So the biggest risk to AI
00:08:17.600 is that everything you do hurts somebody.
00:08:21.720 Let's say you said to AI,
00:08:24.940 AI,
00:08:25.820 come up with a good tax plan.
00:08:28.740 Well,
00:08:29.320 no matter how you change the taxes,
00:08:31.280 somebody pays more,
00:08:32.200 somebody pays less,
00:08:33.480 you end up hurting somebody.
00:08:35.680 So there's almost nothing you can do
00:08:37.820 that won't hurt somebody.
00:08:39.260 Suppose you asked a medical question.
00:08:42.540 It might say,
00:08:43.580 I can't tell you
00:08:44.460 because if you took my advice,
00:08:46.400 it might hurt you.
00:08:48.020 Almost anything is going to hurt somebody.
00:08:50.600 So just look out for that.
00:08:55.020 Michael Schellenberger is calling
00:08:56.720 for the National Guard
00:08:57.860 to protect San Francisco
00:08:59.320 because of the crime.
00:09:01.640 What do you think of that?
00:09:03.640 That's not exactly
00:09:04.660 what the National Guard does, right?
00:09:07.100 I was not aware
00:09:08.120 that the National Guard protects cities,
00:09:10.580 but it's such a radical idea
00:09:14.120 that it fits what's going on.
00:09:18.240 Imagine saying that in normal times.
00:09:21.160 In normal times,
00:09:22.180 saying send in the National Guard.
00:09:24.420 Everybody would say,
00:09:25.540 police state,
00:09:26.400 police state.
00:09:27.680 But things are so bad
00:09:29.020 that the idea of sending in the National Guard
00:09:32.300 doesn't even sound like a bad idea.
00:09:34.760 It sounds like,
00:09:35.440 oh yeah,
00:09:36.340 that seems perfectly reasonable.
00:09:38.800 Yeah,
00:09:39.260 it feels unconstitutional,
00:09:40.560 doesn't it?
00:09:41.840 That's my guess.
00:09:42.760 My guess is unconstitutional.
00:09:45.420 But I would say,
00:09:46.980 leave cities.
00:09:49.080 Leave cities.
00:09:50.220 Get away from cities.
00:09:51.780 I think I got about
00:09:52.820 four million views on my tweet
00:09:56.580 where I said I got robbed
00:09:58.960 several times at gunpoint
00:10:00.160 in San Francisco.
00:10:01.780 Once at knife point.
00:10:04.080 And that was years ago,
00:10:06.740 in the 80s.
00:10:07.380 I thought the 80s
00:10:08.100 were the dangerous times.
00:10:10.140 But apparently it's getting
00:10:11.440 just as bad as that.
00:10:13.120 Yeah,
00:10:13.380 you didn't want to walk
00:10:14.100 around the streets
00:10:14.780 of San Francisco
00:10:15.520 in the 80s.
00:10:17.140 Baltimore Church,
00:10:19.080 Catholic Church,
00:10:20.900 is accused of covering up
00:10:22.220 600 plus sexual abuse cases
00:10:26.260 against children.
00:10:28.420 600.
00:10:28.980 600.
00:10:30.860 Now it's over 60 years,
00:10:33.200 so really it's only 10 a year.
00:10:35.400 Only 10 a year.
00:10:36.260 But it adds up.
00:10:39.640 About 600 of them.
00:10:41.740 So what are they going to do
00:10:42.960 about it?
00:10:43.720 Probably nothing.
00:10:45.340 Probably nothing.
00:10:47.120 Is there any reason
00:10:48.320 to live in Baltimore?
00:10:50.620 Let's see.
00:10:51.080 Baltimore is graduating
00:10:52.620 zero people who can read,
00:10:54.900 but quite a few people
00:10:56.680 have been molested,
00:10:57.500 apparently.
00:10:59.040 So I would call that
00:11:00.560 suboptimal.
00:11:02.120 It's called suboptimal.
00:11:03.260 In the news,
00:11:05.640 Justice Thomas
00:11:07.200 allegedly is accepting
00:11:10.260 expensive trips
00:11:12.100 from a billionaire
00:11:13.240 friend of his
00:11:14.120 for years and years.
00:11:16.380 I have mixed feelings
00:11:17.200 about this.
00:11:18.800 It goes like this.
00:11:20.780 If you're a billionaire
00:11:21.980 and you want to go
00:11:24.020 take trips
00:11:25.040 with your friends,
00:11:26.480 but your friends
00:11:27.480 are not billionaires,
00:11:29.200 what are you going to do?
00:11:30.380 What are you going to do?
00:11:33.140 You do what all
00:11:34.140 billionaires do,
00:11:35.080 I think.
00:11:36.620 You just pay for the trip
00:11:38.120 for your not-rich friend.
00:11:41.420 And then the not-rich
00:11:42.720 friends could come along
00:11:43.840 and you basically
00:11:46.320 bought yourself a friend.
00:11:48.820 Now, Justice Thomas
00:11:50.460 apparently has gone
00:11:51.480 with some friend of his
00:11:52.760 who's a billionaire
00:11:53.300 and he's taken
00:11:54.940 private jet planes
00:11:56.280 and he's been on his yacht
00:11:59.120 and he's been called out
00:12:01.380 for accepting gifts
00:12:03.340 and not reporting them.
00:12:05.020 To which I say,
00:12:06.920 who's the gift to?
00:12:10.020 What I saw was
00:12:11.300 a billionaire
00:12:11.780 giving himself a gift.
00:12:14.100 That's what I saw.
00:12:15.740 A billionaire
00:12:16.260 bought himself a gift.
00:12:17.920 The gift was
00:12:18.760 I get to go on a trip
00:12:19.820 with a Supreme Court justice
00:12:21.320 who's my friend.
00:12:23.800 To me,
00:12:24.400 it looks like
00:12:25.000 the plane
00:12:27.060 was going to fly anyway.
00:12:29.120 The yacht
00:12:29.740 was going to
00:12:30.300 float anyway.
00:12:31.920 And he just went along
00:12:33.040 for the ride.
00:12:34.240 I mean,
00:12:34.740 got some food.
00:12:36.740 I mean,
00:12:37.000 how much extra
00:12:37.660 did it cost?
00:12:38.840 A little food.
00:12:40.280 This is the most
00:12:41.140 trivial thing
00:12:41.840 I've ever seen.
00:12:44.240 If
00:12:44.720 the billionaire
00:12:46.360 had told
00:12:47.620 Justice Thomas,
00:12:48.760 you can use my jet,
00:12:50.320 and I don't think
00:12:51.500 that was reported,
00:12:52.500 you can use my jet
00:12:53.800 anytime you want.
00:12:55.420 Well,
00:12:55.720 that would be
00:12:56.160 a real problem.
00:12:57.600 That would be
00:12:58.260 just a bribe.
00:12:59.680 But if somebody says,
00:13:00.860 you're my friend,
00:13:02.220 do you want to go
00:13:02.820 on vacation with me?
00:13:04.640 I do not think
00:13:05.700 that should be a problem.
00:13:07.360 Does anybody
00:13:07.880 have a problem
00:13:08.440 with that?
00:13:09.900 How many people
00:13:10.760 think it should be
00:13:11.340 a problem
00:13:11.840 if you went
00:13:13.200 on a vacation
00:13:13.900 with your friend
00:13:14.680 and he paid for it?
00:13:16.940 I don't see
00:13:17.660 that as a problem
00:13:18.240 at all.
00:13:18.580 Now,
00:13:19.600 it might be.
00:13:20.620 I mean,
00:13:20.960 if the Democrats
00:13:21.700 make it a problem,
00:13:22.500 it's a problem.
00:13:23.520 But in my opinion,
00:13:24.760 no problem at all.
00:13:26.320 No problem at all.
00:13:27.700 Now,
00:13:28.200 if he should have
00:13:29.300 reported it,
00:13:30.740 yeah,
00:13:31.200 all right.
00:13:32.180 Maybe he should have
00:13:33.260 reported it.
00:13:34.540 But that's not
00:13:35.440 really a problem.
00:13:36.980 Right?
00:13:37.700 If the thing
00:13:38.560 he should have reported
00:13:39.560 was not a problem
00:13:41.200 in the first place,
00:13:42.820 then not reporting it
00:13:43.920 is not a big problem
00:13:45.200 either.
00:13:46.460 So,
00:13:46.620 anyway,
00:13:48.020 I don't appreciate
00:13:49.000 that kind of scrutiny
00:13:50.580 on our leaders,
00:13:51.980 frankly.
00:13:53.660 I think they should
00:13:54.640 be able to hang out
00:13:55.240 with their friends.
00:13:56.980 You know,
00:13:57.280 this one reminds me
00:13:58.160 of when Chris Cuomo
00:13:59.840 was not allowed
00:14:00.840 to advise his brother,
00:14:02.960 you know,
00:14:03.400 who was governor.
00:14:05.120 And I'm thinking,
00:14:05.960 no,
00:14:06.240 you can't tell people
00:14:07.020 not to advise
00:14:07.780 their brother.
00:14:08.940 But you also
00:14:09.660 can't tell people
00:14:10.860 they can't go
00:14:12.060 on a vacation
00:14:12.620 with their friend
00:14:13.380 just because the friend
00:14:14.900 is paying for it
00:14:15.640 because they're a billionaire.
00:14:17.060 That's,
00:14:17.300 that's,
00:14:17.740 no,
00:14:18.440 that's a little bit
00:14:19.480 too intrusive.
00:14:22.280 All right,
00:14:22.700 RFK Jr.
00:14:23.900 has entered the race
00:14:24.700 for president
00:14:25.240 as a Democrat.
00:14:26.920 So,
00:14:27.560 he would be trying
00:14:28.380 to beat Biden
00:14:29.400 in the primary.
00:14:32.860 Now,
00:14:33.640 experts say
00:14:34.640 his odds
00:14:35.380 of winning
00:14:36.480 the primary
00:14:37.060 are very low,
00:14:38.240 very low.
00:14:39.100 but
00:14:40.420 now the Democrats
00:14:42.500 have an emergency
00:14:43.420 spare.
00:14:44.820 So,
00:14:45.320 they do have
00:14:46.040 a Democrat
00:14:46.560 that they could run
00:14:48.000 if Biden drops out
00:14:49.520 or has a health
00:14:50.920 problem
00:14:51.320 or something else.
00:14:53.360 So,
00:14:54.120 it's probably
00:14:54.780 a pretty big deal,
00:14:55.900 at least in terms
00:14:56.840 of a potential
00:14:58.400 candidate.
00:15:00.200 But his big problem
00:15:01.400 is not
00:15:02.040 that he's
00:15:03.580 a Democrat
00:15:04.660 who is not
00:15:05.640 maybe as progressive
00:15:06.780 as some,
00:15:07.220 but he was
00:15:08.880 behind the
00:15:10.980 regular
00:15:11.840 vaccinations
00:15:12.580 cause
00:15:13.260 autism.
00:15:16.340 So,
00:15:17.020 in addition
00:15:17.680 to being
00:15:18.220 against
00:15:18.780 COVID vaccinations,
00:15:20.440 he was against
00:15:20.920 vaccinations
00:15:21.480 in general.
00:15:23.440 Maybe
00:15:24.000 he will be
00:15:25.200 proven right.
00:15:26.880 Maybe.
00:15:28.360 You know,
00:15:28.680 he's reconstituted.
00:15:30.460 Who knows?
00:15:31.600 Or maybe
00:15:32.240 just people
00:15:32.680 won't care about that.
00:15:34.080 That's possible too.
00:15:36.120 But,
00:15:36.680 at the moment
00:15:37.320 it doesn't look like
00:15:38.240 it's going to
00:15:38.620 change anything
00:15:39.400 unless Biden
00:15:40.440 has some kind
00:15:42.400 of a problem,
00:15:43.120 which is a good chance.
00:15:44.680 There's a good chance
00:15:45.380 he will.
00:15:47.000 Well,
00:15:47.400 in a large
00:15:48.240 review of
00:15:48.960 73
00:15:49.860 meta-analyses,
00:15:52.620 including
00:15:53.040 8,600
00:15:53.880 studies,
00:15:55.560 experts have
00:15:56.260 decided that
00:15:56.940 sugar is bad
00:15:57.760 for you.
00:16:00.480 Now,
00:16:01.240 in case you
00:16:02.780 didn't already know,
00:16:04.280 now the sugar
00:16:04.880 they're talking about
00:16:05.540 is the added sugar,
00:16:06.940 not the sweetness
00:16:08.180 that's built into
00:16:09.020 products already,
00:16:10.140 but it causes
00:16:11.200 everything from
00:16:12.240 diabetes,
00:16:14.020 gout,
00:16:14.420 obesity,
00:16:15.000 high blood pressure,
00:16:15.820 heart attack,
00:16:16.320 stroke,
00:16:16.720 cancer,
00:16:17.500 asthma,
00:16:17.940 tooth decay,
00:16:18.660 depression,
00:16:19.340 and early death.
00:16:21.140 What?
00:16:22.020 I didn't realize
00:16:22.640 sugar could cause
00:16:23.560 depression.
00:16:24.640 Did you know that?
00:16:26.280 How many of you
00:16:27.080 knew that sugar
00:16:27.660 causes depression?
00:16:28.500 At least some of you
00:16:30.500 knew.
00:16:30.720 Why is sugar
00:16:34.500 even legal?
00:16:37.400 If this is true,
00:16:40.100 sugar is far
00:16:40.920 more dangerous
00:16:41.500 than any
00:16:42.300 FDA-regulated
00:16:44.200 thing that
00:16:44.700 they've turned
00:16:45.160 down.
00:16:46.840 Don't you think
00:16:47.580 that the FDA
00:16:48.380 has regularly
00:16:49.160 turned down
00:16:49.760 things safer
00:16:50.320 than sugar?
00:16:52.600 Yes.
00:16:53.860 Yes.
00:16:55.000 Yeah,
00:16:55.300 but there's
00:16:55.760 lots of stuff
00:16:56.420 that they've
00:16:57.600 turned down
00:16:58.160 that maybe
00:16:58.940 worked a little
00:16:59.640 bit, but it
00:17:00.980 wasn't as safe
00:17:01.760 as it could
00:17:02.720 have been,
00:17:03.080 so they
00:17:03.420 turned it
00:17:03.760 down.
00:17:04.560 But I bet
00:17:04.960 it was safer
00:17:05.400 than sugar.
00:17:08.260 Somebody says
00:17:08.920 wrong.
00:17:09.380 I might be
00:17:09.780 wrong.
00:17:12.860 The only
00:17:13.480 reason that
00:17:13.980 sugar is
00:17:14.660 legal is
00:17:16.360 that it's
00:17:16.720 been legal
00:17:17.300 forever.
00:17:19.440 If it had
00:17:20.240 not been
00:17:20.660 legal and
00:17:21.260 we were
00:17:21.540 trying to
00:17:22.080 study it
00:17:22.860 to make
00:17:23.220 it legal,
00:17:23.880 we would
00:17:24.520 not make
00:17:24.940 it legal.
00:17:26.020 It would
00:17:26.300 definitely
00:17:26.600 not be
00:17:27.000 legal.
00:17:27.280 So I've
00:17:29.820 been trying
00:17:30.380 as hard
00:17:31.580 as I can
00:17:31.980 to avoid
00:17:32.400 sugar,
00:17:33.080 and I can
00:17:34.100 tell you
00:17:34.480 that you
00:17:34.780 can get
00:17:35.140 to a place
00:17:35.820 where the
00:17:36.940 thought of
00:17:37.380 sugar is
00:17:37.880 gross.
00:17:39.140 Has anybody
00:17:39.780 reached that?
00:17:41.820 It only
00:17:42.460 happens once
00:17:43.060 in a while,
00:17:43.900 but if you
00:17:44.820 stay off sugar
00:17:45.580 long enough,
00:17:47.420 the thought
00:17:47.900 of a sugary
00:17:48.580 treat,
00:17:49.580 even in your
00:17:50.160 brain,
00:17:50.600 is gross.
00:17:52.860 And that
00:17:53.480 doesn't happen
00:17:54.680 with food
00:17:55.120 that's good
00:17:55.540 for you.
00:17:55.960 Have you
00:17:56.200 noticed that?
00:17:57.940 If you
00:17:58.820 don't eat
00:17:59.300 a food
00:17:59.620 that's good
00:18:00.120 for you
00:18:00.600 for a long
00:18:01.600 time,
00:18:02.660 still just
00:18:03.460 as delicious,
00:18:04.740 no difference.
00:18:06.240 In fact,
00:18:06.680 you might
00:18:06.940 like it
00:18:07.280 better.
00:18:08.360 But food
00:18:08.940 that is
00:18:09.840 bad for
00:18:10.420 you,
00:18:11.120 if you
00:18:11.420 stay off
00:18:11.860 it long
00:18:12.160 enough,
00:18:12.440 you can
00:18:13.900 lose the
00:18:14.300 craving.
00:18:16.840 No wonder
00:18:17.520 I'm tired,
00:18:18.080 I don't
00:18:18.280 have enough
00:18:18.620 sugar,
00:18:19.020 you're
00:18:19.180 right.
00:18:22.740 Yeah,
00:18:23.340 bagels are
00:18:24.620 not ideal,
00:18:25.600 so sugar
00:18:26.160 is added
00:18:26.540 to bread.
00:18:28.040 So I
00:18:28.580 might look
00:18:28.960 to cut
00:18:29.460 down on
00:18:29.860 my bagel
00:18:30.340 consumption.
00:18:34.500 Finland has
00:18:35.460 joined NATO.
00:18:37.540 At first,
00:18:38.300 I thought
00:18:38.560 that was
00:18:38.860 no big
00:18:39.240 deal,
00:18:39.580 but apparently
00:18:39.960 Finland has
00:18:40.700 a reasonably
00:18:41.720 strong military,
00:18:42.880 military.
00:18:44.580 And it
00:18:44.760 shows that
00:18:45.220 Putin is
00:18:45.640 losing.
00:18:46.680 Now,
00:18:47.160 let's talk
00:18:47.560 about Ukraine.
00:18:51.560 Either
00:18:52.120 the Ukrainians
00:18:53.840 are getting
00:18:54.340 ready for
00:18:54.840 a big
00:18:55.100 offensive,
00:18:56.120 or they're
00:18:57.620 so beaten
00:18:58.120 down that
00:18:58.580 they can't,
00:18:59.880 or Russia
00:19:01.220 is getting
00:19:01.640 ready for
00:19:02.080 a big
00:19:02.340 offensive,
00:19:03.260 or they're
00:19:04.780 so degraded
00:19:05.540 that they
00:19:05.880 can't,
00:19:06.920 or both
00:19:08.460 of them
00:19:08.800 will just
00:19:09.220 keep fighting
00:19:09.720 each other
00:19:10.220 into a
00:19:11.040 stalemate,
00:19:11.820 or they
00:19:13.180 might negotiate
00:19:13.880 and come
00:19:14.760 to a peace
00:19:15.260 agreement,
00:19:16.400 or,
00:19:17.800 I don't
00:19:18.120 know,
00:19:18.460 basically
00:19:19.020 anything
00:19:19.400 could happen.
00:19:22.060 If I
00:19:22.740 had to
00:19:22.980 guess,
00:19:24.640 we're going
00:19:25.560 to go,
00:19:26.120 I think
00:19:26.660 we'll go
00:19:26.980 the rest
00:19:27.400 of this
00:19:27.700 year with
00:19:29.160 just attacks
00:19:30.340 back and
00:19:30.820 forth,
00:19:32.180 and nobody
00:19:32.740 making a
00:19:33.380 decisive
00:19:33.840 kill shot,
00:19:34.840 and they're
00:19:37.140 just going
00:19:37.520 to have
00:19:37.700 to wear
00:19:38.960 each other
00:19:39.380 out.
00:19:40.600 You know,
00:19:40.820 I don't
00:19:41.100 even think
00:19:41.500 they're even
00:19:41.880 close to
00:19:43.920 grinding one
00:19:44.960 of them
00:19:45.220 down so
00:19:45.820 somebody wants
00:19:46.500 to talk
00:19:46.840 peace yet.
00:19:47.620 Not even
00:19:48.120 close.
00:19:49.200 I think it's
00:19:49.780 just going to
00:19:50.140 go on like
00:19:50.620 this forever,
00:19:51.780 at least for
00:19:52.360 this year.
00:19:54.120 That's my
00:19:54.740 guess.
00:19:56.540 All right.
00:19:57.660 How in the
00:19:58.420 world could
00:19:59.420 it be possible
00:20:00.120 that there's
00:20:01.380 a national
00:20:01.940 headline about
00:20:03.840 the trans
00:20:04.640 community
00:20:05.180 every single
00:20:06.840 day now.
00:20:08.520 So I
00:20:09.360 think I
00:20:09.680 counted
00:20:10.060 one,
00:20:11.580 two,
00:20:12.260 three,
00:20:13.560 four,
00:20:14.780 four headline
00:20:15.660 stories about
00:20:16.420 trans.
00:20:17.660 Two of
00:20:18.400 them had to
00:20:18.820 do with
00:20:19.080 Budweiser
00:20:19.700 and,
00:20:21.340 you know,
00:20:22.300 the sponsorship
00:20:23.000 or not
00:20:23.520 sponsorship,
00:20:24.220 but at
00:20:24.700 least affiliation
00:20:26.080 with Dylan
00:20:27.900 Mulvaney.
00:20:30.680 Some have
00:20:31.560 to do with
00:20:32.200 Jordan
00:20:33.080 Peterson
00:20:33.540 saying stuff
00:20:34.280 on social
00:20:34.720 media.
00:20:37.440 Let's see.
00:20:39.480 Yeah.
00:20:40.200 How many
00:20:40.800 other stories
00:20:41.340 are there?
00:20:41.620 A whole bunch
00:20:41.960 of other
00:20:42.220 stories.
00:20:42.860 And there's
00:20:43.200 a Matt
00:20:43.660 Walsh,
00:20:44.080 yeah,
00:20:44.340 Matt Walsh
00:20:44.960 stories.
00:20:46.760 How in
00:20:47.200 the world
00:20:47.600 could this
00:20:48.120 be such
00:20:48.560 a big
00:20:48.840 thing?
00:20:49.340 All that.
00:20:50.440 But how
00:20:51.580 in the
00:20:51.880 world is
00:20:53.880 it everything?
00:20:54.920 It's just
00:20:55.600 everything now.
00:20:57.700 It's a
00:20:58.320 little crazy.
00:21:00.240 And I
00:21:00.520 wonder,
00:21:00.880 did we
00:21:03.280 always have
00:21:04.060 this many
00:21:04.680 trans and
00:21:06.120 non-binaries
00:21:06.960 and we
00:21:08.060 just didn't
00:21:08.620 know because
00:21:10.100 they were
00:21:10.600 sort of
00:21:11.200 bullied into
00:21:11.780 silence?
00:21:13.200 Or is
00:21:14.080 there something
00:21:14.520 in the
00:21:14.960 food?
00:21:16.500 Is there
00:21:17.160 something in
00:21:17.600 the food or
00:21:18.180 the environment?
00:21:19.760 Is it the
00:21:20.280 sugar?
00:21:21.700 What the
00:21:22.480 hell is it?
00:21:23.260 Is it
00:21:23.700 brainwashing?
00:21:24.480 Certainly
00:21:26.600 what's
00:21:26.980 happening to
00:21:27.460 children is
00:21:28.120 different than
00:21:28.600 what's
00:21:28.880 happening to
00:21:29.340 adults.
00:21:30.680 The
00:21:30.820 children, I
00:21:31.400 think, are
00:21:32.120 just being
00:21:32.560 influenced by
00:21:33.400 things that
00:21:35.180 influence
00:21:35.540 children.
00:21:37.180 Do you
00:21:37.780 think that
00:21:38.180 if somebody
00:21:38.560 still believes
00:21:39.200 in Santa
00:21:39.640 Claus, they
00:21:41.180 should make a
00:21:41.700 decision about
00:21:42.300 removing their
00:21:42.980 genitalia?
00:21:45.160 Probably a
00:21:45.860 little too
00:21:46.120 early.
00:21:46.900 A little
00:21:47.240 too early.
00:21:48.280 Yeah.
00:21:49.540 And what
00:21:50.280 do you think
00:21:50.600 of Jordan
00:21:51.000 Peterson's
00:21:51.800 theory that
00:21:53.300 not all,
00:21:55.360 but most
00:21:56.020 of the
00:21:56.520 child
00:21:57.740 trans
00:21:59.040 situations
00:21:59.720 are because
00:22:00.320 of a
00:22:00.680 devouring
00:22:01.200 mother?
00:22:02.680 That's not
00:22:03.200 even because
00:22:03.680 of the
00:22:03.920 father.
00:22:04.920 That the
00:22:05.320 mother is a
00:22:05.940 narcissist
00:22:06.360 who needs
00:22:07.080 to show
00:22:08.640 off that
00:22:09.180 she's more
00:22:10.860 holy than
00:22:11.460 the rest of
00:22:11.960 you because
00:22:12.400 she's more
00:22:12.840 open-minded,
00:22:13.820 more accepting
00:22:14.720 than you
00:22:15.820 are.
00:22:17.020 To me, it
00:22:17.740 looks like
00:22:18.100 narcissistic
00:22:18.820 mothers.
00:22:19.360 yeah, that's
00:22:23.260 what it
00:22:23.500 looks like.
00:22:26.060 Now, I'm
00:22:26.780 no expert, but
00:22:27.760 that's what it
00:22:28.220 looks like.
00:22:29.500 I mean, if I
00:22:29.960 had to place a
00:22:30.840 million-dollar
00:22:31.980 bet, I would
00:22:33.260 bet that it
00:22:33.700 has more to
00:22:34.180 do with the
00:22:34.560 mothers having
00:22:35.140 some form of
00:22:35.960 mental, I'm
00:22:37.220 not sure if
00:22:37.720 that's called
00:22:38.500 mental illness,
00:22:39.600 narcissism, or
00:22:40.800 is it just a
00:22:41.560 personality trait?
00:22:45.380 I don't know
00:22:46.180 where mental
00:22:47.840 illness begins
00:22:48.600 and personality
00:22:49.300 trait, and
00:22:50.560 so on.
00:22:52.800 All right.
00:22:53.620 Yeah, it
00:22:54.060 just looks like
00:22:54.520 mental illness.
00:22:55.580 And maybe we
00:22:57.100 should, you
00:22:57.760 know, extend
00:22:58.260 LGBTQ, add
00:23:02.100 an M for
00:23:02.640 mental illness.
00:23:03.860 Because for
00:23:04.540 some reason,
00:23:05.820 the LGBTQ
00:23:06.860 community seems
00:23:09.840 to be open to
00:23:10.920 people who
00:23:11.920 have clearly
00:23:12.800 mental illness
00:23:13.700 being associated
00:23:15.840 with the group
00:23:16.420 in some way.
00:23:17.420 and, you
00:23:20.440 know, obviously
00:23:21.040 the majority
00:23:21.640 of them do
00:23:22.120 not have
00:23:22.480 mental illness.
00:23:23.980 But certainly
00:23:26.080 the trans
00:23:26.620 community, I
00:23:27.380 worry about
00:23:27.820 the mother,
00:23:29.760 more so than
00:23:30.780 even the
00:23:31.680 children.
00:23:32.160 I worry that
00:23:32.700 the mother has
00:23:33.260 the mental
00:23:33.620 illness and the
00:23:34.840 children are the
00:23:35.560 victims of that.
00:23:37.140 it's amazing
00:23:41.260 to me that
00:23:43.180 the White
00:23:44.460 House
00:23:44.700 spokesperson,
00:23:45.940 John,
00:23:47.280 Corrine,
00:23:48.640 Corrine
00:23:49.580 John-Pierre,
00:23:51.120 said that
00:23:51.820 that's a
00:23:52.180 decision between
00:23:53.520 the child
00:23:54.300 and the
00:23:55.460 parent, and
00:23:56.400 the government
00:23:56.880 would stay
00:23:57.400 out of it.
00:23:58.600 To which I
00:23:59.460 say,
00:24:00.820 that's
00:24:02.640 interesting.
00:24:04.060 Nothing else
00:24:04.760 would fit that
00:24:05.400 model.
00:24:06.680 If the parents
00:24:07.360 wanted to
00:24:07.860 sexually abuse
00:24:08.740 their kid,
00:24:10.160 would the
00:24:10.860 government say,
00:24:13.020 oh, that's
00:24:13.400 not our
00:24:13.780 business?
00:24:14.620 If the
00:24:15.420 parents wanted
00:24:16.280 to withhold
00:24:18.320 medical treatment
00:24:19.420 to a child
00:24:20.040 because they
00:24:20.380 had a religious
00:24:20.900 view, would the
00:24:22.740 government get
00:24:23.300 involved?
00:24:24.460 I believe they
00:24:25.240 have.
00:24:26.320 Correct me if I'm
00:24:27.080 wrong, but I
00:24:27.540 believe they have.
00:24:28.180 why would this
00:24:30.540 be the one
00:24:31.580 exception?
00:24:33.580 Well, obviously,
00:24:34.760 it's the one
00:24:35.860 exception because
00:24:36.660 it's the LGBTQ
00:24:37.760 category.
00:24:41.220 And why the
00:24:42.180 trans are in
00:24:43.520 the same category
00:24:44.260 as the others,
00:24:46.040 I don't know.
00:24:47.560 I mean, it's
00:24:48.960 sort of an odd
00:24:49.840 grouping of
00:24:50.600 people, somewhat
00:24:52.080 random, I think.
00:24:52.920 I mean, obviously
00:24:56.220 they have, let's
00:24:58.100 say, non-majority
00:24:59.780 sexual or gender
00:25:03.220 stuff, but I
00:25:04.340 just don't see
00:25:04.920 throwing them all
00:25:05.740 in the same
00:25:06.080 group.
00:25:06.400 It doesn't make
00:25:06.780 sense to me.
00:25:09.660 Yeah.
00:25:13.820 It's jealous
00:25:14.520 women who want
00:25:15.160 status, you
00:25:15.940 think?
00:25:16.360 Yeah, that's
00:25:16.820 what it looks
00:25:17.120 like.
00:25:19.400 All right, well,
00:25:20.140 Kansas has
00:25:21.460 passed a law
00:25:23.440 to ban
00:25:24.200 trans athletes
00:25:26.680 in women's
00:25:27.400 sports.
00:25:30.900 So, what
00:25:31.620 do you think
00:25:31.900 of that?
00:25:32.460 Is that the
00:25:33.000 first state to
00:25:33.680 do it?
00:25:35.320 I think it's
00:25:36.420 the first one,
00:25:37.200 right?
00:25:38.480 But I would
00:25:39.080 imagine there
00:25:39.700 would be more,
00:25:40.660 but only places
00:25:41.580 where there are
00:25:42.160 solid.
00:25:42.880 You'd have to
00:25:43.340 have a super
00:25:43.820 majority of
00:25:44.520 Republicans.
00:25:45.760 There's only a
00:25:46.320 few places
00:25:46.820 with that.
00:25:50.080 Yeah.
00:25:50.520 Well, we'll
00:25:52.460 see if that
00:25:52.940 holds.
00:25:54.860 I still like
00:25:55.720 the idea of
00:25:59.700 having an open
00:26:00.460 category of
00:26:01.320 sports where
00:26:01.800 anybody can
00:26:02.380 play, so you
00:26:03.560 don't have to
00:26:03.940 worry about
00:26:04.460 gender.
00:26:05.180 Just, okay,
00:26:05.600 there's one
00:26:05.960 category.
00:26:07.020 You can still
00:26:07.480 have men's,
00:26:08.020 you can still
00:26:08.420 have women's,
00:26:10.000 but how about
00:26:10.380 a third one
00:26:11.080 where you can
00:26:11.760 be anybody?
00:26:13.100 Yeah, co-ed.
00:26:14.440 Co-ed sports.
00:26:15.460 I'm all for it.
00:26:17.740 By the way,
00:26:18.400 I've played a
00:26:19.180 lot of co-ed
00:26:19.800 sports, and
00:26:21.200 co-ed sports
00:26:21.860 are great,
00:26:22.820 because I
00:26:23.260 played tons
00:26:23.860 of mixed
00:26:25.180 doubles in
00:26:27.520 tennis.
00:26:28.200 Mixed doubles
00:26:28.800 is a lot of
00:26:29.320 fun.
00:26:30.320 And soccer,
00:26:32.240 if you're
00:26:32.620 playing with
00:26:33.160 people who
00:26:34.920 are good at
00:26:35.360 soccer,
00:26:36.720 it's a lot
00:26:38.460 of fun to
00:26:38.840 play with
00:26:39.280 that mixed
00:26:39.660 group.
00:26:40.600 All right,
00:26:41.840 two circuit
00:26:42.480 court judges
00:26:43.380 say that they
00:26:44.060 won't hire
00:26:44.540 clerks.
00:26:45.900 Clerks.
00:26:46.960 Oh, my God.
00:26:47.940 I'm so tired.
00:26:50.060 I think I'm
00:26:50.620 just going to
00:26:51.120 fall asleep
00:26:51.920 as soon as I
00:26:52.460 turn this
00:26:52.840 off.
00:26:55.160 Two circuit
00:26:56.040 court judges
00:26:56.680 said they
00:26:57.120 won't hire
00:26:57.660 clerks who
00:26:59.340 come out of
00:26:59.880 the Stanford
00:27:00.360 Law School.
00:27:02.400 Just think
00:27:03.140 about that.
00:27:04.480 They won't
00:27:04.940 hire any
00:27:05.740 clerk who
00:27:07.040 comes out of
00:27:07.560 Stanford Law
00:27:08.280 School,
00:27:09.280 because the
00:27:09.980 Stanford Law
00:27:10.500 School allowed
00:27:11.460 so much
00:27:12.360 intolerance to
00:27:14.240 the conservative
00:27:15.720 judge who was
00:27:16.380 speaking there.
00:27:18.600 That's pretty
00:27:19.460 extreme.
00:27:22.580 Now, how
00:27:24.260 many companies
00:27:25.540 do you think
00:27:26.040 will stop
00:27:26.600 hiring the
00:27:27.340 woke and
00:27:28.020 the people
00:27:28.360 with pronouns?
00:27:30.540 Privately,
00:27:31.320 I'm not going
00:27:32.140 to tell you the
00:27:32.620 stories I hear,
00:27:33.720 but privately,
00:27:35.060 I hear of
00:27:35.940 fairly massive
00:27:36.920 discrimination
00:27:37.720 against the
00:27:39.160 pronoun people.
00:27:40.840 People who
00:27:41.520 have turned
00:27:41.900 down jobs
00:27:42.620 because of
00:27:43.120 pronouns,
00:27:44.160 said, no,
00:27:44.660 I don't want
00:27:44.960 to work for
00:27:45.340 your pronoun
00:27:45.800 company.
00:27:46.940 People who
00:27:47.500 have turned
00:27:47.840 down offers,
00:27:50.360 let's say
00:27:50.740 salespeople,
00:27:52.300 and the
00:27:52.600 salesperson
00:27:53.240 makes an
00:27:53.980 offer and
00:27:54.420 you see that
00:27:54.880 they've got
00:27:55.220 pronouns,
00:27:55.800 you're like,
00:27:56.160 no thanks,
00:27:57.840 don't want to
00:27:58.240 hear your
00:27:58.560 offer.
00:28:00.180 I think this
00:28:01.280 is going to
00:28:01.600 be a growing
00:28:02.240 thing,
00:28:03.820 because,
00:28:04.680 you know,
00:28:06.980 being around
00:28:08.020 the woke
00:28:11.440 is dangerous.
00:28:14.200 apparently,
00:28:14.620 one of the
00:28:15.320 complaints about
00:28:16.380 Don Lemon
00:28:16.960 is that he's
00:28:18.600 litigious.
00:28:20.460 Now,
00:28:20.660 there's a
00:28:21.060 story of
00:28:21.480 two lawsuits,
00:28:23.300 but I think
00:28:23.760 there's only
00:28:24.140 one on record,
00:28:25.760 but Don Lemon
00:28:26.700 has sued
00:28:27.440 somebody.
00:28:28.720 Would you
00:28:29.380 want to hire
00:28:29.960 somebody who
00:28:30.540 would ever
00:28:30.960 sue anybody?
00:28:33.680 That's a big
00:28:34.420 flag.
00:28:35.400 If you've
00:28:36.120 ever sued
00:28:36.820 anybody,
00:28:37.480 you better
00:28:39.020 have a
00:28:39.420 really good
00:28:39.920 reason,
00:28:40.880 or you're
00:28:41.300 not going
00:28:41.580 to get a
00:28:42.540 job with
00:28:42.900 me.
00:28:44.320 As soon
00:28:45.040 as I hear
00:28:45.420 you've sued
00:28:45.900 anybody,
00:28:46.980 every red
00:28:47.860 flag comes
00:28:48.460 up.
00:28:49.360 Okay,
00:28:50.520 I'm willing
00:28:51.260 to listen
00:28:51.820 to your
00:28:52.260 reason,
00:28:54.000 I'm willing
00:28:54.660 to accept
00:28:55.280 that you
00:28:55.580 have a
00:28:55.940 reason,
00:28:57.280 but it
00:28:57.920 better be
00:28:58.460 so good,
00:29:00.220 so,
00:29:00.880 so good
00:29:01.480 that there's
00:29:02.080 just no
00:29:02.700 question you
00:29:03.940 should have
00:29:04.440 sued that
00:29:04.840 person.
00:29:05.820 Other than
00:29:06.320 that,
00:29:06.560 I don't want
00:29:06.940 a lawsuit
00:29:07.420 person working
00:29:08.580 for me.
00:29:09.500 I don't
00:29:09.940 even want
00:29:10.240 to spend
00:29:10.500 time with
00:29:10.980 them.
00:29:11.220 I don't
00:29:11.440 want to
00:29:11.660 work with
00:29:12.080 them.
00:29:12.300 I don't
00:29:12.480 want to
00:29:12.800 be around
00:29:13.800 them.
00:29:14.420 I don't
00:29:14.640 want to
00:29:14.800 be in
00:29:14.960 the same
00:29:15.260 room.
00:29:16.140 It's just
00:29:16.480 dangerous.
00:29:19.720 So,
00:29:20.320 don't hire
00:29:20.680 the woke.
00:29:21.460 They're
00:29:21.620 dangerous.
00:29:23.880 Well,
00:29:24.340 what do you
00:29:24.580 think of
00:29:24.820 this idea
00:29:25.320 that the
00:29:25.580 central banks
00:29:26.320 in the
00:29:27.020 U.S.
00:29:28.860 are going
00:29:29.840 to announce
00:29:30.360 or apparently
00:29:31.380 they're going
00:29:31.700 to have a
00:29:32.040 digital currency
00:29:32.920 so that banks
00:29:34.760 can communicate
00:29:35.400 with each
00:29:35.860 other,
00:29:36.180 or at least
00:29:36.540 the central
00:29:36.960 banks.
00:29:39.480 And there's
00:29:41.240 a worry that
00:29:42.600 this is just
00:29:43.340 slipping a
00:29:44.320 digital currency
00:29:45.280 into the mix
00:29:46.200 so that your
00:29:47.580 government will
00:29:48.300 eventually get
00:29:48.940 rid of cash
00:29:49.720 and it'll get
00:29:53.080 you used to
00:29:53.580 these digital
00:29:54.160 currencies and
00:29:55.100 we'll test them
00:29:56.660 out and the
00:29:57.160 next thing you
00:29:57.640 know your cash
00:29:58.340 will go away
00:29:58.940 and then the
00:30:00.060 government will
00:30:00.640 be able to
00:30:01.100 not only spy
00:30:02.900 on every
00:30:03.640 transaction you
00:30:04.540 do but they
00:30:06.580 would also
00:30:07.260 be able to
00:30:08.140 turn them
00:30:08.600 off.
00:30:09.900 So in other
00:30:10.260 words, if you
00:30:10.700 don't do what
00:30:11.140 the government
00:30:11.460 wants, don't
00:30:12.400 wear a mask,
00:30:13.360 don't want to
00:30:14.040 do something,
00:30:14.600 don't want to
00:30:14.960 get a vaccination,
00:30:16.200 they could just
00:30:16.820 turn off your
00:30:17.720 money.
00:30:19.900 Now, I would
00:30:20.640 argue they could
00:30:21.280 have done that
00:30:21.820 already.
00:30:22.240 I mean, if
00:30:23.760 they have any
00:30:24.440 legal way to
00:30:25.120 turn off your
00:30:25.620 money, they
00:30:26.700 can do it
00:30:27.100 now.
00:30:28.620 Just go to
00:30:29.260 the court, say
00:30:30.000 I have a legal
00:30:30.540 reason to do
00:30:31.120 it, I can
00:30:32.040 just turn off
00:30:32.600 your money.
00:30:34.940 But if it's
00:30:36.240 easier, just a
00:30:38.680 little bit easier,
00:30:39.480 you'd think there
00:30:40.040 would be more
00:30:40.440 of it.
00:30:41.300 So certainly
00:30:42.180 digital currency
00:30:43.060 would be a
00:30:43.660 risk.
00:30:47.020 Here's my
00:30:47.640 question.
00:30:48.540 If we had a
00:30:49.440 digital currency,
00:30:50.360 would there
00:30:52.120 not be
00:30:52.800 quickly a
00:30:54.160 money laundering
00:30:55.100 scheme that
00:30:55.780 would come
00:30:58.280 up around it?
00:31:00.540 Now, even
00:31:01.500 though the
00:31:01.900 digital currency
00:31:02.720 would be
00:31:03.180 completely
00:31:03.600 trackable,
00:31:05.080 would I not
00:31:05.800 be able to
00:31:06.280 buy goods and
00:31:06.960 service with
00:31:07.560 it?
00:31:08.660 And if I can
00:31:09.260 take that
00:31:09.660 digital currency
00:31:10.500 and buy goods
00:31:11.280 and service,
00:31:12.560 and then I
00:31:13.000 can take those
00:31:13.920 goods and
00:31:14.340 services on a
00:31:15.180 truck and
00:31:16.280 deliver them to
00:31:16.920 somebody else
00:31:17.680 who pays me
00:31:19.120 some new
00:31:19.900 digital currency,
00:31:20.360 have I not
00:31:22.640 laundered it?
00:31:25.320 I mean, I
00:31:25.780 get that that's
00:31:26.300 a terrible
00:31:26.660 example.
00:31:27.520 But is there
00:31:28.380 no way to
00:31:28.920 launder a
00:31:29.560 digital currency?
00:31:30.680 I would think
00:31:31.540 that you
00:31:31.840 could.
00:31:34.120 Not really?
00:31:35.680 Well, the
00:31:36.560 digital currency
00:31:37.260 will show
00:31:37.760 everything you
00:31:38.380 buy and sell,
00:31:40.380 but once it
00:31:41.920 goes into the
00:31:42.580 physical world,
00:31:44.260 let's say I
00:31:45.000 buy a bar of
00:31:45.960 gold, then I
00:31:47.860 can take that
00:31:48.380 somewhere and
00:31:48.900 sell it again.
00:31:49.440 So what's
00:31:50.280 what gets
00:31:50.960 invisible is
00:31:52.380 what happens
00:31:52.860 when I've got
00:31:53.380 the bar of
00:31:53.840 gold that
00:31:54.900 would be
00:31:55.160 invisible to
00:31:55.840 the system.
00:31:57.460 So it
00:31:58.500 does seem
00:31:59.060 to me that
00:32:02.040 somebody could
00:32:02.640 come up with
00:32:03.220 a shadow
00:32:04.220 currency that
00:32:07.860 you could
00:32:08.240 possibly buy
00:32:09.200 with your
00:32:09.660 legal currency,
00:32:11.120 do some
00:32:11.580 illegal stuff,
00:32:12.920 and then
00:32:13.520 translate it
00:32:14.800 back into
00:32:15.220 legal currency.
00:32:15.940 you can't
00:32:19.820 buy gold
00:32:20.400 with food
00:32:20.980 tokens.
00:32:22.240 What?
00:32:23.980 NFTs.
00:32:25.780 NFTs, but
00:32:26.840 NFTs are
00:32:27.640 trackable.
00:32:29.380 Ammo.
00:32:30.440 Yeah, we'll
00:32:31.120 be using
00:32:31.540 ammo as
00:32:32.300 ammunition as
00:32:33.960 currency.
00:32:35.720 I don't know.
00:32:37.240 So the
00:32:37.940 question is
00:32:38.480 this.
00:32:39.000 Is there a
00:32:40.040 technical work
00:32:40.840 around where
00:32:41.980 you could have
00:32:42.460 privacy at the
00:32:44.160 same time?
00:32:45.440 Oh, if
00:32:48.900 they get rid
00:32:49.400 of your
00:32:49.680 VPNs with
00:32:50.620 this fake
00:32:51.100 TikTok law,
00:32:53.160 and then
00:32:53.520 they make
00:32:53.940 your money
00:32:55.340 all visible,
00:32:57.900 then they've
00:32:58.280 got everything,
00:32:58.960 don't they?
00:32:59.580 At that point,
00:33:00.420 they have
00:33:00.740 everything.
00:33:01.340 Because you
00:33:01.640 wouldn't even
00:33:01.980 be able to
00:33:02.520 launder your
00:33:03.200 money if you
00:33:03.640 didn't have a
00:33:04.080 VPN, because
00:33:05.880 they could find
00:33:06.360 out how you
00:33:06.980 were communicating
00:33:07.560 with people,
00:33:08.260 et cetera.
00:33:09.960 So, that's
00:33:11.520 interesting.
00:33:11.960 And I
00:33:14.600 don't know if
00:33:14.960 you could
00:33:15.220 barter it
00:33:15.740 off.
00:33:16.560 But let me
00:33:17.460 give you a
00:33:17.860 little context.
00:33:19.080 Right now,
00:33:19.900 the concern,
00:33:20.980 and even RFK
00:33:21.900 Jr. said
00:33:22.480 this, one of
00:33:23.480 the concerns
00:33:24.000 is the
00:33:25.920 government would
00:33:26.600 know what
00:33:27.800 you're doing
00:33:28.240 because cash
00:33:29.140 is the only
00:33:29.660 way you can
00:33:30.100 do things
00:33:30.560 without them
00:33:31.320 seeing.
00:33:32.580 But cash
00:33:34.500 as a way to
00:33:35.300 get away with
00:33:35.860 stuff is
00:33:36.960 shrinking.
00:33:38.460 Because the
00:33:39.240 most cash you
00:33:40.060 can move
00:33:40.480 without asking
00:33:41.220 questions or
00:33:42.060 without the
00:33:42.500 government and
00:33:43.060 the banks
00:33:43.400 asking questions
00:33:44.240 is $10,000.
00:33:47.460 But $10,000
00:33:49.380 used to be
00:33:50.040 a lot of
00:33:50.380 money, and
00:33:51.820 now it's
00:33:52.160 not, because
00:33:53.460 inflation has
00:33:54.240 made $10,000
00:33:55.000 worth $3,000,
00:33:56.800 compared to
00:33:57.520 when it first
00:33:58.140 was that
00:33:58.560 limit.
00:33:59.760 So now you
00:34:00.380 have basically
00:34:01.440 a shrinking
00:34:03.940 little window
00:34:06.160 of cash
00:34:07.120 that you
00:34:08.620 could do
00:34:09.060 illegal stuff
00:34:09.920 with, or
00:34:10.680 at least
00:34:11.100 private
00:34:11.480 things
00:34:11.820 with.
00:34:14.580 I don't
00:34:15.240 know.
00:34:15.980 I feel
00:34:16.620 like it's
00:34:17.060 not that
00:34:17.660 much of a
00:34:18.160 difference.
00:34:19.760 The only
00:34:20.440 thing it's
00:34:20.800 going to
00:34:21.020 do is
00:34:21.440 keep drug
00:34:22.420 dealers in
00:34:23.000 business.
00:34:24.440 Because how
00:34:25.180 much cash
00:34:26.020 transactions do
00:34:26.960 you do except
00:34:28.240 for illegal
00:34:28.960 things?
00:34:30.500 When was
00:34:30.960 the last
00:34:31.200 time you
00:34:31.520 spent a lot
00:34:32.000 of cash on
00:34:33.240 something that
00:34:33.760 wasn't literally
00:34:34.620 illegal?
00:34:35.080 you bought a
00:34:39.960 car with
00:34:40.400 cash?
00:34:44.860 Yeah.
00:34:45.660 Vehicles?
00:34:47.140 Guns?
00:34:48.840 Yeah, I guess
00:34:49.380 you could buy a
00:34:50.680 gun with cash.
00:34:51.420 That would make
00:34:51.800 sense.
00:34:55.040 Locals.
00:34:55.440 All right.
00:35:00.200 All right.
00:35:00.540 Well, some of
00:35:01.100 you do use
00:35:01.580 cash.
00:35:02.760 I haven't used
00:35:03.580 cash in a
00:35:04.080 long time.
00:35:07.000 I can't
00:35:07.700 remember the
00:35:08.100 last time I
00:35:08.580 paid for
00:35:08.920 anything in
00:35:09.540 cash.
00:35:13.360 All right.
00:35:14.380 Even cannabis
00:35:15.360 is electronic
00:35:17.560 payment.
00:35:18.980 Yeah, in
00:35:19.400 California, you
00:35:20.420 can just use
00:35:21.120 electronic payment
00:35:21.880 for your
00:35:22.280 weed.
00:35:22.520 All right.
00:35:29.400 Dispensaries
00:35:29.840 can't take
00:35:30.380 anything other
00:35:30.860 than the
00:35:31.100 cash.
00:35:32.120 Well, I
00:35:32.600 guess it
00:35:32.900 depends.
00:35:36.620 All right.
00:35:37.360 All right.
00:35:37.760 Just looking at
00:35:38.220 your comments
00:35:38.680 for a moment.
00:35:39.580 Yeah, I
00:35:39.960 would not be
00:35:40.640 delighted with
00:35:41.480 this, but
00:35:41.800 here's the
00:35:42.180 problem.
00:35:43.220 If we ever
00:35:44.060 have digital
00:35:44.780 currency in
00:35:45.860 this country,
00:35:47.420 something like
00:35:49.420 a third of
00:35:50.660 the public
00:35:51.400 would be
00:35:51.920 plunged in
00:35:52.500 to bankruptcy
00:35:54.800 and poverty.
00:35:56.560 Do you
00:35:56.820 know why?
00:35:57.760 Why would
00:35:58.340 a third of
00:35:58.920 the country
00:35:59.340 be plunged
00:36:00.080 into poverty
00:36:01.020 and bankruptcy
00:36:01.920 the minute
00:36:03.100 we had
00:36:04.520 digital currency
00:36:05.340 and only
00:36:06.500 digital currency?
00:36:08.120 Right?
00:36:08.460 Because that's
00:36:09.100 how many people
00:36:09.660 cheat on their
00:36:10.240 taxes.
00:36:11.500 It's about a
00:36:12.300 third.
00:36:13.540 Probably, you
00:36:14.320 know, the
00:36:14.580 vast majority
00:36:15.440 of small
00:36:15.840 businesses are
00:36:16.560 cheating on
00:36:16.980 the taxes
00:36:17.380 one way or
00:36:17.900 another.
00:36:18.720 So, if you
00:36:20.280 took away the
00:36:21.540 benefit a
00:36:22.240 small entity
00:36:23.100 gets from
00:36:23.560 cheating on
00:36:24.060 their taxes,
00:36:25.000 you take away
00:36:25.760 the benefit,
00:36:26.580 let's say,
00:36:26.880 a server would
00:36:27.680 get, I
00:36:29.540 don't know if
00:36:31.180 they would be
00:36:31.660 above the
00:36:32.160 poverty level.
00:36:33.800 You would
00:36:34.280 make most of
00:36:35.260 the country
00:36:35.660 poor immediately
00:36:36.580 by making
00:36:37.140 them pay taxes.
00:36:38.880 The people who
00:36:40.040 reliably pay taxes
00:36:41.380 are the ones
00:36:41.900 who have a
00:36:42.260 salary.
00:36:43.620 People who
00:36:44.040 don't have a
00:36:44.500 salary are
00:36:45.120 playing a little
00:36:46.460 fast and loose.
00:36:47.160 So, I
00:36:48.180 don't think
00:36:48.580 the country
00:36:49.220 could survive
00:36:52.640 everybody going
00:36:55.020 legit at the
00:36:55.900 same time.
00:36:57.540 Because if
00:36:58.140 everybody goes
00:36:58.660 legit, they're
00:36:59.380 also going to
00:36:59.860 go poor at
00:37:00.420 the same time.
00:37:01.240 I don't know
00:37:01.560 if we could
00:37:01.860 afford it.
00:37:07.680 Really?
00:37:11.240 Get your tax
00:37:12.140 refunds and
00:37:12.800 carbon credits.
00:37:14.500 Oh, that's
00:37:14.960 interesting.
00:37:15.300 Is a carbon
00:37:17.240 credit going
00:37:17.880 to be like
00:37:18.300 cash?
00:37:19.340 I could buy
00:37:19.880 a carbon
00:37:20.300 credit and
00:37:20.920 then launder
00:37:22.340 my money
00:37:22.980 through carbon
00:37:23.520 credits?
00:37:24.760 There's going
00:37:25.080 to be all
00:37:25.400 kinds of ways
00:37:25.940 to launder
00:37:26.380 money.
00:37:27.060 It's going
00:37:27.340 to be insane.
00:37:29.320 All right.
00:37:33.260 And that,
00:37:34.180 ladies and
00:37:34.440 gentlemen, is
00:37:35.660 the worst
00:37:36.000 live stream
00:37:36.500 you've ever
00:37:36.880 seen.
00:37:37.420 It's not
00:37:37.980 entirely my
00:37:38.680 fault.
00:37:39.500 There's no
00:37:39.920 good news
00:37:40.400 today.
00:37:41.260 We need
00:37:41.920 Trump to do
00:37:42.480 something outrageous
00:37:43.200 or,
00:37:44.860 maybe 10
00:37:46.340 stories about
00:37:47.060 trans would
00:37:47.560 be enough.
00:37:48.600 We only
00:37:49.120 had five
00:37:49.740 stories about
00:37:50.460 trans today.
00:37:51.940 I think five
00:37:53.180 is not enough.
00:37:55.300 A good 10
00:37:56.200 to 20 would
00:37:56.900 be about the
00:37:57.400 right number
00:37:57.840 and then we
00:37:58.540 got something.
00:38:02.820 The live stream
00:38:03.680 was dark.
00:38:06.260 All right.
00:38:06.960 If you were a
00:38:07.600 member of the
00:38:08.300 locals group,
00:38:10.460 you would have
00:38:11.160 seen my cooking
00:38:11.980 class last night.
00:38:12.960 You would
00:38:13.340 see Robots
00:38:13.960 Read News,
00:38:14.600 my side
00:38:15.000 comic.
00:38:15.800 You would
00:38:16.120 have seen
00:38:16.340 the new
00:38:16.840 Dilbert Reborn
00:38:17.900 comics,
00:38:18.920 which are
00:38:19.760 edgier,
00:38:21.020 especially the
00:38:21.720 coming week.
00:38:23.240 The next
00:38:24.000 week or two
00:38:25.660 of Dilbert
00:38:28.120 Reborn is
00:38:29.240 all stuff that
00:38:30.080 would not have
00:38:30.540 been in the
00:38:31.040 newspaper.
00:38:32.580 Pretty much
00:38:33.020 all of it.
00:38:34.320 All right.
00:38:34.740 That's all for
00:38:35.160 now and I
00:38:35.900 will talk to
00:38:36.340 you on
00:38:37.060 YouTube
00:38:38.140 tomorrow.
00:38:39.120 Cool.
