Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2088 Scott Adams： Dershowitz On Fox News Settlement, J6 Eppsurrection, Slavery Reparations

00:00:00.000 Do-do-do.

00:00:02.140 Ra-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-do. 1.00

00:00:05.940 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best thing that's going to happen to you today,

00:00:10.440 maybe in your whole life.

00:00:11.600 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and there's never been a better moment in the history of

00:00:17.140 humankind and whatever came before that, before space-time existed.

00:00:22.000 Now, if you'd like to take this up to a level that nobody's ever seen before,

00:00:27.200 well, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker, a chalicist iron, a canteen jug or flask,

00:00:33.820 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:37.380 I like coffee.

00:00:38.740 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine, the day the thing that makes

00:00:43.460 everything better.

00:00:44.220 It's called Simultaneous Sip, and it's happening now.

00:00:49.080 Go.

00:00:54.540 Ah.

00:00:54.980 Ah.

00:00:56.820 So much better now.

00:00:59.600 Well, we got some fun stories for you today.

00:01:02.280 Fun, fun stories.

00:01:05.160 First of all, how many of you have seen that UFO video that looks like something about the

00:01:11.240 size of a softball zipping through the sky unexplainedly?

00:01:16.020 Have you seen that one?

00:01:16.840 Look at it again, and then imagine that instead of it being a UFO that's zipping sideways across

00:01:25.040 the sky, imagine it's just dropping from above.

00:01:28.300 It's sort of like that, is the dress, you know, what color is the dress?

00:01:35.400 As soon as you imagine, as soon as you imagine it's not going sideways, just in your head,

00:01:40.620 look at it and say, oh, there's something dropping from above that's just falling down.

00:01:44.640 Well, it looked pretty fake to me, yeah.

00:01:49.800 Mylar balloon blowing around, maybe, yeah.

00:01:53.680 Well, we had the sip, you missed it, Raymond.

00:01:55.240 So, UFOs, I would say, are not convinced.

00:02:00.320 I'm just not convinced.

00:02:03.560 In Chicago, a bunch of pastors organized a march of black men who were organized to,

00:02:12.440 it was in response to the violence that happened over the weekend.

00:02:16.860 So there's a big mass shooting.

00:02:19.000 So a bunch of black men organized by pastors did a march in Chicago,

00:02:23.020 to which I asked this question.

00:02:26.540 What are they asking for?

00:02:28.460 And what are they protesting against?

00:02:31.540 And what's the plan?

00:02:33.140 I didn't see any of that in the story.

00:02:35.540 Now, did the news forget to mention the point?

00:02:40.060 Oh, a bunch of black men are marching,

00:02:42.760 and they're asking for, they're demanding what?

00:02:50.440 I don't know.

00:02:51.040 Well, what does the march do?

00:02:54.240 Was there somebody who saw the march who was a criminal, maybe a murderer?

00:03:00.040 He sees the march, he's like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

00:03:04.400 I'm seeing a march of black men organized by pastors

00:03:07.400 in reaction to the violence of the weekend.

00:03:10.980 I'm starting to think that all of my murdering is ill-advised.

00:03:15.160 Now that I see that march, I've decided to murder less.

00:03:23.100 How does it work?

00:03:24.940 Now, I'm all in favor of, you know, action.

00:03:29.520 And maybe that's where it starts.

00:03:31.120 You know, maybe it's just getting attention.

00:03:32.900 But is there somebody who didn't know the murder rate was high in Chicago?

00:03:35.860 Is there anybody who didn't know the problem existed?

00:03:41.280 And it's, like, really bad?

00:03:44.320 I feel like every time somebody on the left tries to fix something,

00:03:49.260 you can't identify how the action would in any way work.

00:03:55.300 Like, you can't even connect it in your mind.

00:03:57.060 And it's, like, okay, were they protesting themselves?

00:04:03.020 Because usually if it's a march, they're protesting somebody, right?

00:04:06.740 You're protesting, let's say, the police.

00:04:10.520 But in this case, this was black-on-black crime they were protesting.

00:04:15.660 Were they protesting themselves?

00:04:18.220 I mean, not personally.

00:04:19.920 But it was a group protesting its own group, wasn't it?

00:04:23.320 How does that work?

00:04:24.980 How do you protest your own group?

00:04:27.980 Well, what do you do?

00:04:29.240 I just feel like there's something terribly missing,

00:04:32.180 even though all of the intentions and, you know,

00:04:35.400 the energy are in the right direction.

00:04:37.460 But to what end?

00:04:39.600 I don't know.

00:04:40.960 Something's missing there.

00:04:42.880 The only way that a march would help, as far as I can tell,

00:04:47.500 is if they just took their families with them

00:04:50.220 and just kept marching to a safer place.

00:04:53.620 I think people who were not criminals

00:04:55.900 should get away from criminals.

00:04:57.860 What do you think?

00:04:59.600 If you're not a criminal

00:05:00.900 and you live where there are lots of criminals,

00:05:03.900 job one is to get away.

00:05:05.720 And I'll tell you what I would have protested for

00:05:08.180 if that had been me.

00:05:09.680 I would protest for government help for relocation, right?

00:05:15.700 Because that's actually a solution.

00:05:17.840 Well, my family are not criminals.

00:05:19.780 We don't want to live too close to a big criminal situation.

00:05:23.240 So could we give some government funding

00:05:25.700 just for relocation

00:05:27.860 and get another job in a safer place with a better school?

00:05:32.020 I feel like that would fix most things

00:05:34.360 because it would turn the cities into just complete hell holes

00:05:39.240 because all the good people would leave.

00:05:41.580 But what's the alternative?

00:05:44.080 It's going to turn into a hell hole anyway.

00:05:46.920 And while it's happening, people are being victimized.

00:05:50.020 So get the people who want to just have good schools

00:05:52.660 and good lives, just move them.

00:05:55.780 In fact, it would be interesting to see if conservatives

00:05:58.280 put together some kind of, like, fund

00:06:01.000 where you could contribute to it.

00:06:03.880 And it was very visible.

00:06:05.480 You know, that's the problem with charities.

00:06:06.680 They're not visible.

00:06:07.900 But let's say it's very visible

00:06:09.280 that if you contributed to some Republican fund

00:06:12.340 that anybody who wanted to get away

00:06:14.920 from a Democrat crime-ridden hell hole

00:06:17.680 could apply.

00:06:19.000 And if they didn't look like criminals themselves

00:06:22.680 and they had a little good application,

00:06:24.880 it would be like applying to college.

00:06:27.560 We apply to college.

00:06:29.640 Why can't you apply to move your family to a safe place?

00:06:34.200 Just like anything else.

00:06:35.500 You know, tell us what you need.

00:06:36.960 Tell us who you are.

00:06:38.400 We'll evaluate it.

00:06:39.980 Give you some money, if it makes sense.

00:06:42.100 Because it seems to me that if you moved

00:06:43.980 a well-meaning, law-abiding family

00:06:47.640 from where the kids will grow up

00:06:50.080 with all this criminal influence

00:06:51.540 to a place where they could grow up with,

00:06:54.000 you know, without it or less of it,

00:06:56.260 wouldn't you come out way ahead?

00:06:58.300 Wouldn't that money be really well spent?

00:07:00.140 You'd create an entire successful family

00:07:03.060 plus all of their kids and kids forever.

00:07:05.880 that just seems like a gigantic lever

00:07:09.280 just to get them out of the bad place,

00:07:11.560 get them where there's a better school.

00:07:13.420 Anyway, that's just an idea.

00:07:15.020 So I think scholarships

00:07:16.040 for removing the people

00:07:18.940 who want to succeed legally

00:07:22.000 would be maybe a way to go

00:07:24.500 because nothing else is working, right?

00:07:26.440 Nothing else is working.

00:07:27.440 And I think that when people demand your money,

00:07:30.600 you have a very different feeling about it

00:07:32.720 than if you could simply donate your money

00:07:35.260 to something that made sense.

00:07:37.400 Let me see if this feels right to you.

00:07:41.120 If the government says to you,

00:07:42.980 hey, give us some money

00:07:43.920 so we can give it to this other group,

00:07:46.140 what's your first reaction?

00:07:48.480 How about no?

00:07:49.940 How about I earned my money?

00:07:51.220 How about I keep it?

00:07:52.060 How about that?

00:07:52.760 How about I just keep my money

00:07:53.900 and you go away.

00:07:56.000 But suppose somebody says to you

00:07:58.200 this proposition.

00:08:00.340 Hey, look, we've got this program

00:08:03.280 where we can take a really,

00:08:05.500 a family that has potential

00:08:06.860 and they're not criminals

00:08:08.520 and they want to just do well

00:08:09.840 and stay in school and stay off drugs,

00:08:11.880 but they're in a terrible place.

00:08:14.400 Could you give $20 to a fund,

00:08:18.060 just $20 to a fund

00:08:20.140 that would be saving families

00:08:22.660 and we'll let you know how it goes?

00:08:24.720 It'll be very transparent.

00:08:26.720 Would you give $20 to that?

00:08:28.920 Well, some of you would.

00:08:30.680 Some of you wouldn't, obviously.

00:08:32.460 But some of you would

00:08:33.300 and you might even feel good about it.

00:08:36.100 Because the problem is

00:08:37.020 when the government asks for money,

00:08:38.420 I think it's wasted.

00:08:40.100 No, you?

00:08:41.260 Oh, the government wants more money from you.

00:08:43.200 Okay, so I lose money

00:08:44.700 and I gain nothing.

00:08:46.860 That's how it feels

00:08:47.860 because it doesn't feel like

00:08:49.200 they need the extra money.

00:08:50.280 They need money.

00:08:52.680 What?

00:08:53.180 Extra?

00:08:54.260 Do they really need extra?

00:08:55.900 I don't know.

00:08:57.740 But if it's my option,

00:08:59.300 I'd love to help.

00:09:01.300 The greatest underutilized resource

00:09:03.540 in the country

00:09:04.120 is that white men like to help.

00:09:08.360 I've said that before

00:09:09.440 and I'm sure that people

00:09:11.800 who are not adult white men

00:09:13.760 don't understand it at all.

00:09:15.420 Now, I'm not saying

00:09:16.220 there are other groups

00:09:16.960 who are not like that.

00:09:18.200 That's not the point.

00:09:19.040 I don't know about other groups.

00:09:21.020 I'm just talking about

00:09:21.860 a group I know.

00:09:23.400 Adult white men

00:09:24.360 always want to help.

00:09:26.680 They just don't want to do stupid stuff

00:09:28.160 and waste their money.

00:09:29.540 So all you have to do

00:09:30.280 is create a situation

00:09:31.180 where they can help

00:09:32.220 and they're all in.

00:09:33.860 All in.

00:09:34.700 I'll give you all my time,

00:09:35.760 all my money.

00:09:36.700 You can have whatever you want.

00:09:37.620 It just has to be

00:09:38.400 voluntary and useful.

00:09:40.960 All right.

00:09:43.920 Apparently, I woke up this morning

00:09:45.500 to find out

00:09:46.220 that somebody has compiled

00:09:48.060 a gigantic list

00:09:49.500 of alleged transphobes.

00:09:53.080 Did you see that this morning

00:09:54.440 on social media?

00:09:56.060 It's like 42,000 people

00:09:58.180 on a list

00:09:58.820 of transphobes.

00:10:02.200 And I was alerted

00:10:04.100 to the fact

00:10:04.540 I'm on the list.

00:10:07.780 I'm on the list of transphobes.

00:10:10.220 I'm literally

00:10:10.780 the most famous

00:10:11.680 pro-trans person

00:10:13.020 who has a conservative audience.

00:10:15.660 Name one person

00:10:16.540 who's more pro-trans

00:10:19.160 than I am

00:10:19.720 who has a conservative audience.

00:10:22.920 Nobody.

00:10:23.820 I'm the number one

00:10:24.780 most trans-friendly

00:10:26.140 pro-trans person

00:10:28.040 who has a conservative audience.

00:10:30.000 I'm exactly

00:10:30.760 who they should be promoting.

00:10:32.700 If you are a trans activist,

00:10:35.580 you should make me

00:10:36.460 the most famous person

00:10:37.640 who's your ally

00:10:38.360 because I'm talking

00:10:39.820 to the people

00:10:40.340 who are the least likely

00:10:41.480 to be on your side

00:10:42.500 with the most positive spin

00:10:44.800 on their situation.

00:10:47.560 I'm the most useful person,

00:10:50.120 period,

00:10:50.920 to the trans community,

00:10:52.080 maybe in the whole world

00:10:53.060 because the people

00:10:54.340 who are preaching

00:10:55.160 to their own side

00:10:56.220 are just talking to people

00:10:57.540 who are already convinced.

00:10:59.060 So you can eliminate

00:10:59.960 everybody on the left

00:11:01.320 as being the best supporter

00:11:04.100 of trans rights

00:11:05.040 because they're just talking

00:11:05.960 to people who agree.

00:11:06.740 But how many people

00:11:09.340 who have a conservative audience

00:11:10.680 who tell you practically,

00:11:12.740 I don't know,

00:11:13.020 three times a week

00:11:13.920 that let the adults alone?

00:11:16.320 You know,

00:11:16.520 the kids are a different story,

00:11:17.600 of course.

00:11:18.360 But just let the kids live.

00:11:20.200 Let the adults live.

00:11:21.360 Let them have their life.

00:11:22.920 Now the questions about sports

00:11:24.400 are completely separate, right?

00:11:31.580 Pro-trans for adults only? 0.91

00:11:33.420 I don't know what that means.

00:11:37.020 Anyway,

00:11:37.640 so that's a fake list.

00:11:38.880 Obviously,

00:11:39.320 they didn't put any time

00:11:40.120 into putting that together.

00:11:41.580 If you see it,

00:11:42.400 don't pay any attention to it.

00:11:44.360 Well,

00:11:44.700 Ray Epps appeared

00:11:45.680 on 60 Minutes.

00:11:47.580 And if you were going

00:11:49.360 to predict

00:11:50.180 how that would go,

00:11:52.140 what would you have predicted?

00:11:54.000 Let's see.

00:11:55.720 I'm going to guess

00:11:56.620 that the people

00:11:57.860 who think that Ray Epps

00:11:59.220 was, you know,

00:12:00.960 innocent of all,

00:12:01.980 let's say,

00:12:02.940 government connections

00:12:03.820 on January 6th,

00:12:05.280 they still think it

00:12:06.480 because 60 Minutes told them.

00:12:08.280 And then the people

00:12:09.080 who think it's the opposite

00:12:10.320 of the truth,

00:12:11.580 that Ray Epps

00:12:12.200 might have had something

00:12:12.980 to do with the government

00:12:14.540 and maybe organizing things,

00:12:17.600 allegedly,

00:12:19.380 do you think that they were

00:12:20.680 talked out of it?

00:12:23.600 Let me tell you what I saw.

00:12:27.180 As Mike Cernovich

00:12:28.440 pointed out accurately,

00:12:30.580 so the FBI

00:12:32.600 did a statement

00:12:33.340 that said,

00:12:34.560 the FBI issued

00:12:37.160 this statement,

00:12:37.960 Ray Epps

00:12:38.380 has never been

00:12:39.180 an FBI source

00:12:40.360 or an FBI employee.

00:12:43.060 Now,

00:12:43.540 do you remember

00:12:43.900 when the FBI

00:12:44.600 was asked under oath,

00:12:47.620 did Ray Epps,

00:12:50.180 you know,

00:12:50.600 work for you

00:12:51.280 or the government

00:12:51.880 or something?

00:12:52.680 And they said

00:12:53.680 something like,

00:12:54.320 no comment.

00:12:56.100 They wouldn't answer

00:12:57.300 that question.

00:12:57.840 but then

00:12:59.900 when they're not

00:13:00.700 under oath,

00:13:01.460 as Cernovich points out,

00:13:03.520 when they're not

00:13:04.240 under oath

00:13:04.940 and they're just

00:13:05.880 doing a press release,

00:13:07.480 they say the opposite.

00:13:09.860 So under oath

00:13:10.940 they say one thing

00:13:11.920 and not under oath

00:13:12.960 they say the opposite.

00:13:14.560 How do you interpret that?

00:13:15.640 I only see one way

00:13:17.860 to interpret that.

00:13:19.620 And I'm going to have

00:13:20.660 to go the Cernovich path

00:13:22.660 on this one.

00:13:23.740 Yeah.

00:13:24.520 I don't think

00:13:25.320 they could tell you

00:13:26.040 he's guilty

00:13:26.600 or has some kind

00:13:29.260 of connection

00:13:29.760 any more clearly

00:13:31.040 than that.

00:13:31.580 All right.

00:13:33.120 Now,

00:13:33.360 number two.

00:13:35.020 Are you aware

00:13:35.800 that it wouldn't

00:13:37.240 necessarily be

00:13:37.920 even a typical situation

00:13:39.360 for Ray Epps

00:13:40.920 if he had any

00:13:41.860 involvement

00:13:42.220 with the FBI?

00:13:43.140 If he did,

00:13:45.480 he wouldn't be a source.

00:13:47.440 Would they call him

00:13:48.140 a source?

00:13:49.380 Because he's blamed

00:13:50.240 for being an operator.

00:13:52.720 Not a source,

00:13:54.400 but somebody goes

00:13:55.360 and makes something happen

00:13:56.380 and not somebody

00:13:56.900 who just talks about

00:13:57.740 things, right?

00:13:58.840 So we agree

00:13:59.560 he's not a source.

00:14:00.720 He was never accused

00:14:01.520 of being a source,

00:14:02.540 was he?

00:14:03.500 Was he ever accused

00:14:04.600 of being a source?

00:14:08.060 Well,

00:14:08.580 he might have been

00:14:08.980 a source for somebody.

00:14:10.860 We don't know that,

00:14:11.840 but maybe not the FBI.

00:14:13.140 And they say

00:14:14.400 he wasn't an FBI employee.

00:14:16.560 What's that mean?

00:14:17.840 He wasn't an FBI employee.

00:14:20.940 That's pretty specific,

00:14:21.980 isn't it?

00:14:22.820 That's a little

00:14:23.400 too specific,

00:14:24.420 FBI.

00:14:25.480 Yeah,

00:14:25.680 your working assumption

00:14:26.640 has to be

00:14:27.180 that the FBI

00:14:28.060 knows who he works for

00:14:29.820 and it's government related.

00:14:32.040 Doesn't mean

00:14:32.740 it's the FBI.

00:14:34.440 But the FBI

00:14:35.700 clearly knows,

00:14:37.220 I would say,

00:14:37.800 based on the 60 minutes

00:14:38.860 and the way they answer

00:14:39.660 in the FBI's response,

00:14:40.880 that the most

00:14:42.620 reasonable interpretation

00:14:43.580 is that

00:14:44.380 he was involved

00:14:45.840 with some government

00:14:46.800 entity,

00:14:47.720 but not on a payroll.

00:14:50.360 Not on a payroll,

00:14:51.540 didn't get a paycheck,

00:14:52.820 was an employee,

00:14:54.300 but may have had

00:14:55.440 some benefit.

00:14:56.920 They didn't say

00:14:57.640 he had no benefit

00:14:58.660 for what he did.

00:14:59.860 Don't know about that.

00:15:01.380 Didn't say he didn't

00:15:02.280 work for the CIA,

00:15:03.400 didn't say he didn't

00:15:04.360 work for Homeland,

00:15:06.200 there's some kind of

00:15:06.880 Homeland Security defense.

00:15:07.980 There are a whole bunch

00:15:09.000 of agencies

00:15:09.760 and police departments

00:15:11.260 and government entities

00:15:13.340 that could have been

00:15:14.960 working with him.

00:15:15.780 We don't know.

00:15:17.580 So,

00:15:18.560 and what,

00:15:19.240 did 60 minutes

00:15:19.920 ever explain

00:15:20.780 why he

00:15:21.720 kind of quickly

00:15:22.960 got off

00:15:23.480 the most wanted list?

00:15:26.160 60 minutes

00:15:26.940 didn't explain that,

00:15:27.880 right?

00:15:28.720 That's like

00:15:29.140 the biggest mystery

00:15:29.940 because that just

00:15:31.060 sort of doesn't happen.

00:15:32.940 You don't just

00:15:33.620 take somebody

00:15:34.180 off the most wanted list.

00:15:35.940 That would be

00:15:36.420 kind of a long process.

00:15:39.920 Right.

00:15:41.480 All right,

00:15:42.060 so I would say

00:15:43.120 that

00:15:44.660 Tim Poole's take

00:15:46.920 was pretty good.

00:15:48.380 He tweeted that

00:15:49.220 from now on

00:15:50.400 I'm calling

00:15:50.800 J6

00:15:51.460 the Ray Epps

00:15:52.300 insurrection.

00:15:54.640 And

00:15:55.060 then I saw

00:15:56.640 another tweet

00:15:57.360 from somebody

00:15:57.940 calling themselves

00:15:59.020 ChatGPT,

00:16:00.420 but it's not

00:16:01.100 ChatGPT,

00:16:02.520 just a person

00:16:03.460 who said

00:16:04.480 we think

00:16:05.100 the hashtag

00:16:05.800 should be

00:16:06.500 hashtag

00:16:07.240 Ray Eppsurrection.

00:16:09.580 Drives it home

00:16:10.420 point even better.

00:16:12.320 Then I thought

00:16:12.900 I could improve

00:16:13.520 on that a little bit

00:16:14.240 so I tweeted

00:16:14.880 J6 Eppsurrection.

00:16:18.360 I think I'm going

00:16:19.340 to call it

00:16:19.680 the Eppsurrection 0.97

00:16:20.360 from now on.

00:16:22.220 And not because

00:16:23.400 I think he was

00:16:25.160 guilty of working

00:16:25.980 with the government,

00:16:27.540 but because he was

00:16:28.540 there organizing.

00:16:30.620 He was an organizer

00:16:31.500 on January 6th,

00:16:33.080 so it was an

00:16:33.480 Eppsurrection.

00:16:34.900 What do you think?

00:16:36.580 J6 Eppsurrection.

00:16:38.340 I like taking

00:16:38.920 the Ray part

00:16:39.680 out of it

00:16:40.080 because that

00:16:40.420 doesn't add anything.

00:16:42.400 Yeah.

00:16:43.860 It was an

00:16:44.240 Eppsurrection.

00:16:46.040 So

00:16:46.440 here again

00:16:48.200 we get to the

00:16:48.840 concept of

00:16:49.800 working,

00:16:52.120 sort of your

00:16:52.860 working understanding

00:16:54.360 or your

00:16:55.460 working assumption.

00:16:57.440 The government

00:16:58.340 has now

00:16:58.960 very clearly

00:17:00.120 sent us the

00:17:00.880 signal

00:17:01.240 that J6 1.00

00:17:02.860 was a

00:17:03.260 government

00:17:03.560 operation

00:17:04.160 and they're

00:17:06.300 trying to

00:17:06.740 hide it.

00:17:07.720 You realize

00:17:08.200 that 60 Minutes

00:17:09.020 is the same

00:17:09.560 people who

00:17:10.900 had Trump

00:17:11.660 on and

00:17:12.200 told him

00:17:12.580 that the

00:17:13.100 Haunter

00:17:14.120 laptop was

00:17:14.940 Russian

00:17:15.240 disinformation?

00:17:16.500 That was the

00:17:17.280 same 60 Minutes.

00:17:18.700 Now,

00:17:19.200 can you refresh

00:17:19.820 my memory?

00:17:21.240 What did 60 Minutes

00:17:22.320 say about

00:17:22.740 Russia collusion?

00:17:24.720 Did 60 Minutes

00:17:25.840 say Russia 0.53

00:17:26.300 collusion

00:17:26.700 look pretty

00:17:27.400 solid?

00:17:28.500 Looks like

00:17:29.020 there's some

00:17:29.380 Russian collusion

00:17:30.040 here?

00:17:30.740 I don't

00:17:31.240 remember,

00:17:32.620 but

00:17:33.460 I think

00:17:35.320 I would

00:17:35.640 have known

00:17:36.280 if 60 Minutes

00:17:38.660 said it

00:17:38.960 wasn't true

00:17:39.720 while it

00:17:40.960 was still

00:17:41.280 going on.

00:17:42.680 Yeah.

00:17:43.520 So

00:17:43.900 if you see

00:17:45.780 a 60 Minutes

00:17:46.680 cover piece,

00:17:48.320 so now the

00:17:48.800 New York Times

00:17:49.420 and 60 Minutes

00:17:50.300 have both

00:17:51.560 given cover

00:17:53.100 to Ray Epps,

00:17:53.980 which would be

00:17:54.520 the most damning

00:17:55.460 thing I could

00:17:56.000 think of.

00:17:56.440 the New York

00:17:57.720 Times is,

00:17:59.760 I mean,

00:18:00.280 not even barely

00:18:01.260 in a news

00:18:01.840 organization anymore.

00:18:02.960 It's mostly

00:18:03.340 just a government

00:18:04.060 Democrat entity.

00:18:06.500 So I think

00:18:07.520 that the 60 Minutes

00:18:08.940 in my mind

00:18:09.880 has now

00:18:11.000 solidified

00:18:11.760 an opinion

00:18:12.240 that I thought

00:18:12.920 was just,

00:18:13.560 well,

00:18:14.480 maybe yes,

00:18:15.220 maybe no,

00:18:15.900 I see what

00:18:16.320 you're talking

00:18:16.720 about.

00:18:17.440 But the 60 Minutes

00:18:18.420 thing just totally

00:18:19.200 solidifies that

00:18:20.920 there's something

00:18:21.600 there that made

00:18:22.460 the January 6

00:18:23.420 situation not

00:18:25.540 what it looked

00:18:26.020 like.

00:18:27.000 And that it

00:18:27.940 was probably

00:18:28.600 a government

00:18:29.160 operation,

00:18:29.940 a Democrat-led

00:18:31.340 operation.

00:18:32.620 That's what it

00:18:33.020 looks like.

00:18:33.680 Now,

00:18:33.900 that's just a

00:18:34.360 working assumption,

00:18:35.700 right?

00:18:36.580 Now,

00:18:36.900 I don't know

00:18:37.380 if Ray Epps

00:18:37.920 is guilty of

00:18:38.540 anything,

00:18:39.100 and I won't

00:18:39.660 allege that he

00:18:40.320 is.

00:18:40.800 I'm just saying

00:18:41.540 that the way

00:18:41.980 60 Minutes

00:18:42.740 has presented

00:18:43.820 it is as

00:18:45.120 guilty as hell. 0.80

00:18:47.120 So the

00:18:47.560 presentation

00:18:48.300 makes him

00:18:49.380 look guilty

00:18:49.900 of some kind

00:18:51.500 of government

00:18:51.900 connection.

00:18:52.700 Not necessarily

00:18:53.480 illegal.

00:18:54.420 I don't know

00:18:54.820 if any of it's

00:18:55.340 illegal.

00:18:55.740 That'd be

00:18:56.320 different.

00:18:57.560 But,

00:18:58.680 so,

00:18:59.420 I want to be

00:18:59.880 as clear as

00:19:00.440 I can,

00:19:01.320 just so Ray

00:19:01.860 Epps doesn't

00:19:02.400 sue me.

00:19:03.320 I'm not aware

00:19:03.940 of any crime

00:19:04.560 he committed.

00:19:06.100 None.

00:19:06.940 I'm not aware

00:19:07.720 that he lied.

00:19:09.740 I'm not aware

00:19:10.640 of it.

00:19:11.680 But 60 Minutes

00:19:12.640 did present to

00:19:13.420 us a case

00:19:14.180 which is really

00:19:15.500 convincing that

00:19:16.260 he's guilty

00:19:16.720 of some

00:19:17.940 connection.

00:19:18.540 Not of a

00:19:18.980 crime.

00:19:19.880 Not of a

00:19:20.420 crime.

00:19:20.720 but guilty

00:19:22.820 of a

00:19:23.180 connection

00:19:23.580 to the

00:19:23.920 government

00:19:24.220 that has

00:19:24.800 not been

00:19:25.160 disclosed.

00:19:26.820 Would you

00:19:27.320 accept that

00:19:27.860 interpretation?

00:19:29.160 We don't

00:19:29.740 know.

00:19:31.100 But we've

00:19:31.700 been told

00:19:32.600 as clearly

00:19:33.180 as possible

00:19:33.760 it's true.

00:19:35.580 It's just

00:19:36.240 how you

00:19:36.560 choose to

00:19:37.280 accept or

00:19:37.800 interpret that.

00:19:41.220 All right.

00:19:42.480 Have I been

00:19:43.100 talking to your

00:19:43.660 ex?

00:19:43.940 So that

00:19:48.800 was fun.

00:19:50.580 So Trump

00:19:51.200 is still

00:19:51.660 hammering on

00:19:52.420 DeSantis.

00:19:54.080 I guess he's

00:19:54.600 sticking with

00:19:55.160 Ron DeSanctimonious.

00:19:56.800 What do you

00:19:57.320 think of

00:19:57.660 Ron DeSanctimonious?

00:20:00.400 I don't feel

00:20:01.200 like enough

00:20:01.620 people even

00:20:02.140 know what

00:20:02.420 the word

00:20:02.700 means.

00:20:03.880 It's too

00:20:04.500 long.

00:20:05.160 It's got a

00:20:05.400 lot of

00:20:05.620 syllables.

00:20:06.240 It doesn't

00:20:06.700 feel like up

00:20:07.260 to his

00:20:07.560 normal standard

00:20:08.540 does it?

00:20:09.900 It's like

00:20:10.620 nickname week.

00:20:12.540 But on

00:20:14.200 the other

00:20:14.760 hand he

00:20:15.140 might also

00:20:15.720 not want

00:20:16.200 to take

00:20:16.520 him down

00:20:16.860 completely.

00:20:18.260 Because if

00:20:18.940 you're Trump

00:20:19.420 you want to

00:20:20.080 weaken DeSantis

00:20:21.360 in the primary

00:20:22.100 but you don't

00:20:22.680 want to take

00:20:23.320 him out.

00:20:23.900 Do you?

00:20:25.260 Because you

00:20:25.620 still need

00:20:26.080 him.

00:20:27.100 If Trump

00:20:28.340 gets the

00:20:28.900 nomination he

00:20:30.380 wants to

00:20:30.740 have a

00:20:32.300 DeSantis

00:20:32.760 that he

00:20:33.240 can reconstruct

00:20:34.200 make DeSantis

00:20:36.180 a supporter

00:20:37.800 or at least

00:20:38.540 not a

00:20:38.960 detractor.

00:20:40.180 So Trump

00:20:41.540 can't use

00:20:42.320 a kill

00:20:42.940 shot like

00:20:43.560 he used

00:20:44.000 on Bush.

00:20:49.520 He can't

00:20:50.140 say he's

00:20:50.400 low energy

00:20:50.960 because that

00:20:51.940 might take

00:20:52.380 DeSantis

00:20:52.780 out completely.

00:20:54.540 He can't

00:20:55.260 say he's

00:20:55.560 crooked.

00:20:56.820 He's not

00:20:57.300 going to

00:20:57.500 call another

00:20:57.980 Republican

00:20:58.480 crooked if

00:21:00.000 it's a

00:21:00.400 national name.

00:21:02.100 So he

00:21:02.740 doesn't really

00:21:03.220 have the

00:21:03.540 kill shots

00:21:04.200 that he

00:21:04.520 would have

00:21:04.920 if he

00:21:05.240 were going

00:21:05.580 against a

00:21:06.900 clean enemy

00:21:07.600 who's always

00:21:08.100 going to be

00:21:08.420 an enemy.

00:21:09.000 He has

00:21:09.520 to reconstitute

00:21:10.360 him.

00:21:11.180 So he

00:21:11.520 has to

00:21:11.800 go just

00:21:12.420 hard enough

00:21:13.060 that he's

00:21:14.480 got his

00:21:14.860 boot on

00:21:16.020 his neck

00:21:16.480 but he

00:21:16.800 doesn't

00:21:17.060 kill him.

00:21:18.160 Just hold

00:21:18.580 him down

00:21:18.900 a little

00:21:19.160 bit.

00:21:20.320 So here's

00:21:21.080 what Trump

00:21:22.360 said.

00:21:23.480 I don't know

00:21:24.100 where he

00:21:24.340 said it.

00:21:24.680 Maybe he

00:21:24.960 tweeted it.

00:21:27.200 But DeSantis

00:21:27.980 is doing some

00:21:28.720 kind of world

00:21:29.240 tour.

00:21:29.720 He's in

00:21:29.920 Japan now.

00:21:31.640 But he's

00:21:31.940 also...

00:21:34.140 I think

00:21:35.820 this part

00:21:36.220 is just

00:21:36.520 a joke

00:21:37.020 because I

00:21:38.180 don't think

00:21:38.660 DeSantis

00:21:39.140 was ever

00:21:39.680 going to

00:21:40.140 Walter Reed

00:21:40.780 Medical

00:21:41.700 Center.

00:21:42.780 But Trump

00:21:43.840 said that

00:21:44.280 the governor

00:21:44.720 is being

00:21:45.720 sent to

00:21:46.220 Walter Reed

00:21:46.800 Army Medical

00:21:47.500 Center for

00:21:48.080 an emergency

00:21:48.680 personality

00:21:49.460 transplant.

00:21:50.980 A

00:21:51.240 personality

00:21:51.900 transplant.

00:21:53.720 Ouch.

00:21:56.360 A

00:21:57.000 personality

00:21:57.520 transplant.

00:21:58.540 Now that's

00:21:59.060 the Trump

00:21:59.480 we know

00:21:59.860 and love.

00:22:01.020 Right?

00:22:01.900 Now that's

00:22:02.400 the Trump

00:22:03.180 we're waiting

00:22:03.580 for.

00:22:04.400 Okay.

00:22:05.320 All right.

00:22:05.760 You're back.

00:22:06.940 All right.

00:22:07.160 Ron DeSanctimonious,

00:22:08.660 that's a

00:22:10.040 warm-up swing.

00:22:11.840 But DeSantis

00:22:13.860 has to go in

00:22:14.540 for an

00:22:14.800 emergency

00:22:15.200 personality

00:22:15.940 transplant.

00:22:17.420 Now doesn't

00:22:18.060 that remind

00:22:18.580 you of

00:22:19.240 Bill Maher's

00:22:19.960 comment that

00:22:21.780 people don't

00:22:22.380 want to vote

00:22:22.860 for the

00:22:23.200 tribute band.

00:22:24.900 Right?

00:22:25.080 It's the same 0.53

00:22:25.480 vibe.

00:22:26.580 DeSantis

00:22:26.980 is the

00:22:27.460 tribute band.

00:22:28.520 Trump is

00:22:28.940 the real

00:22:29.660 thing.

00:22:30.940 But this

00:22:31.580 is the

00:22:32.240 same vibe,

00:22:33.120 just a

00:22:33.440 different

00:22:33.660 take.

00:22:34.540 Trump is

00:22:35.220 the biggest

00:22:35.880 personality

00:22:36.700 we've ever

00:22:37.300 seen.

00:22:39.240 Trump has

00:22:40.020 so much

00:22:40.480 personality,

00:22:41.720 people ask

00:22:42.320 him to

00:22:42.600 turn it

00:22:42.940 down.

00:22:44.120 That's

00:22:44.600 way too

00:22:45.120 much

00:22:45.340 personality.

00:22:46.660 Could you

00:22:47.020 just dial

00:22:48.320 down the

00:22:48.800 personality a

00:22:49.540 little bit,

00:22:50.100 even though

00:22:50.500 that's why

00:22:50.880 we like

00:22:51.260 him?

00:22:53.520 I think

00:22:54.200 this was a

00:22:54.660 good attack.

00:22:56.840 Because,

00:22:57.520 again,

00:22:57.700 it's not

00:22:58.040 fatal.

00:22:58.740 It just

00:22:59.040 shows that

00:22:59.620 Trump is

00:23:00.220 more interesting.

00:23:00.820 And people

00:23:01.820 do follow

00:23:02.440 energy.

00:23:04.760 I would

00:23:05.400 also say

00:23:05.920 that this

00:23:06.340 is a

00:23:06.700 message to

00:23:07.280 the press.

00:23:08.700 Do you

00:23:09.180 get the

00:23:09.480 message to

00:23:10.000 the press?

00:23:11.500 What's the

00:23:12.120 message to

00:23:12.660 the press?

00:23:14.020 If you

00:23:14.600 have DeSantis,

00:23:15.780 you don't

00:23:16.660 have a

00:23:16.980 business model.

00:23:18.420 Because he's

00:23:19.060 not interesting.

00:23:20.160 There won't

00:23:20.480 be anything

00:23:20.920 interesting to

00:23:21.720 talk about.

00:23:24.020 So,

00:23:24.700 I think in

00:23:25.700 one way,

00:23:26.280 I don't know

00:23:26.640 if he thought

00:23:27.080 of it

00:23:27.320 consciously,

00:23:27.700 but it

00:23:28.400 looks like

00:23:28.820 Trump is

00:23:29.480 warning the

00:23:30.920 press that

00:23:32.320 they only

00:23:32.660 have one

00:23:33.040 way to

00:23:33.340 make money

00:23:33.800 and it's

00:23:34.200 not the

00:23:34.560 boring

00:23:34.820 personality

00:23:35.420 guy.

00:23:36.720 And he's

00:23:37.040 right.

00:23:37.960 He's

00:23:38.200 right.

00:23:39.000 The press

00:23:39.500 would make

00:23:39.940 way more

00:23:40.560 money with

00:23:41.380 Trump in

00:23:41.780 the race.

00:23:42.680 Would you

00:23:43.040 agree?

00:23:45.620 Don't you

00:23:46.180 agree,

00:23:46.540 right?

00:23:46.800 I mean,

00:23:47.040 I think it's

00:23:47.800 sort of

00:23:48.240 obvious that

00:23:49.400 DeSantis would

00:23:50.220 be a profit

00:23:51.100 killer for the

00:23:51.740 press.

00:23:52.620 Now,

00:23:53.120 if you

00:23:53.440 follow the

00:23:53.980 money,

00:23:55.540 is there

00:23:55.940 any way that

00:23:56.440 DeSantis can

00:23:57.160 get elected?

00:23:59.400 Now,

00:23:59.860 if you

00:24:00.040 follow the

00:24:00.540 money to

00:24:00.920 donations,

00:24:02.600 I think

00:24:03.000 Trump will

00:24:03.440 have the

00:24:03.720 most of

00:24:04.280 money,

00:24:04.540 right?

00:24:05.380 Does that

00:24:06.160 look like

00:24:06.540 that will

00:24:06.820 be true?

00:24:07.780 That Trump

00:24:08.440 will raise

00:24:09.500 more money

00:24:09.940 than DeSantis,

00:24:10.660 right?

00:24:10.880 Because his

00:24:11.360 poll numbers

00:24:11.860 are bigger.

00:24:14.920 So,

00:24:15.520 if you

00:24:15.900 follow the

00:24:16.380 money,

00:24:16.700 it's going

00:24:16.980 to be

00:24:17.140 Trump over

00:24:17.600 DeSantis

00:24:18.060 for the

00:24:18.980 donations,

00:24:19.780 I think.

00:24:20.700 That could 0.68

00:24:21.140 change,

00:24:21.760 but that's

00:24:22.160 what it

00:24:22.340 looks like.

00:24:23.000 If you

00:24:23.380 follow the

00:24:23.880 money for

00:24:24.580 the press,

00:24:26.020 the press

00:24:26.660 absolutely

00:24:27.620 makes more

00:24:28.200 money on

00:24:28.660 Trump.

00:24:30.060 So,

00:24:30.920 follow the

00:24:31.560 money says

00:24:32.080 Trump's your

00:24:33.580 next candidate.

00:24:34.840 It doesn't

00:24:35.500 say he's

00:24:35.860 president,

00:24:37.000 because that

00:24:37.660 becomes a

00:24:38.140 different follow

00:24:38.720 the money

00:24:39.220 situation.

00:24:42.640 But if the

00:24:43.720 Americans feel 0.79

00:24:44.500 that they can

00:24:44.960 make more

00:24:45.500 money with

00:24:46.000 Trump,

00:24:47.320 he's going

00:24:48.320 to be your

00:24:48.620 next president.

00:24:50.000 So those

00:24:50.620 are three

00:24:51.060 follow the

00:24:51.560 money situations.

00:24:52.620 One is who

00:24:53.120 gets the most

00:24:53.600 donations,

00:24:54.360 probably Trump.

00:24:54.940 who makes

00:24:56.340 the press

00:24:57.000 the richest,

00:24:58.520 definitely

00:24:58.980 Trump.

00:25:00.100 Who makes

00:25:00.820 the public

00:25:01.620 make more

00:25:02.500 money individually,

00:25:04.140 well,

00:25:05.060 some people on

00:25:05.900 the left

00:25:06.220 might think

00:25:06.640 they make

00:25:07.040 less money,

00:25:08.180 because they

00:25:08.580 could get

00:25:09.000 less,

00:25:09.980 I don't know,

00:25:10.820 in support

00:25:11.300 or something.

00:25:12.320 But if

00:25:13.200 people think

00:25:13.740 the economy

00:25:14.460 will do

00:25:14.920 better under

00:25:15.480 Trump,

00:25:15.900 that's the

00:25:16.240 end of the

00:25:16.640 game.

00:25:17.580 He's your

00:25:17.920 next president,

00:25:19.280 don't you

00:25:19.660 think?

00:25:19.860 if Trump

00:25:21.960 looks like

00:25:22.480 the economic

00:25:23.580 it's all

00:25:24.760 about the

00:25:25.180 economy,

00:25:25.760 stupid. 0.90

00:25:26.220 Remember

00:25:26.620 Bill Clinton?

00:25:27.900 It's the

00:25:28.300 economy,

00:25:28.960 stupid. 0.90

00:25:29.740 If Trump

00:25:30.600 just doesn't

00:25:31.120 talk about

00:25:31.540 anything but

00:25:32.380 inflation and

00:25:33.220 economy and

00:25:33.920 get out of

00:25:34.340 Ukraine because

00:25:34.960 it's expensive,

00:25:36.560 I feel like

00:25:37.380 he's got it.

00:25:39.880 So,

00:25:41.100 all right.

00:25:42.740 The funniest,

00:25:43.940 most interesting

00:25:44.520 story of the

00:25:45.160 day is there's

00:25:46.820 a video of

00:25:47.420 Lieutenant Governor

00:25:48.080 Mark Robinson.

00:25:49.000 Now,

00:25:49.920 for the

00:25:50.580 purpose of

00:25:51.040 this story,

00:25:51.880 you need to

00:25:52.680 know that

00:25:53.000 he's a

00:25:53.360 black politician

00:25:54.240 because that's

00:25:55.100 important to

00:25:55.560 the story.

00:25:56.840 It actually

00:25:57.580 is.

00:25:57.880 I say that

00:25:58.320 jokingly

00:25:58.840 sometimes,

00:25:59.840 but it's

00:26:00.240 actually important

00:26:00.820 to the story.

00:26:02.380 So,

00:26:03.100 he's running.

00:26:04.620 People say

00:26:05.460 he's likely

00:26:06.200 to be the

00:26:06.860 GOP front

00:26:07.860 runner and

00:26:09.780 he gave a

00:26:10.720 speech saying

00:26:11.300 that black 1.00

00:26:13.640 Americans owe 0.52

00:26:14.540 reparations to

00:26:15.480 this country for

00:26:16.380 their freedom.

00:26:19.000 Now,

00:26:21.460 let me go

00:26:22.100 back to

00:26:22.520 he's a

00:26:23.600 black

00:26:24.060 GOP

00:26:25.820 politician

00:26:26.460 and he's

00:26:27.900 saying that

00:26:28.360 black people

00:26:30.260 should pay

00:26:30.800 reparations to

00:26:32.540 this country.

00:26:34.800 Now,

00:26:35.340 he didn't say

00:26:35.800 to white

00:26:36.220 people,

00:26:36.720 but,

00:26:37.300 you know,

00:26:38.400 you kind of

00:26:39.280 intuit that.

00:26:39.840 now,

00:26:43.660 in the

00:26:44.040 same article,

00:26:45.780 well,

00:26:46.020 I should have

00:26:46.260 a different

00:26:46.500 article,

00:26:47.100 but do you

00:26:47.480 think he's

00:26:47.920 the GOP

00:26:48.660 front runner?

00:26:50.060 Do you

00:26:50.520 think the

00:26:50.860 GOP

00:26:51.360 front runner

00:26:51.880 could get

00:26:52.320 in front of

00:26:52.740 a crowd of

00:26:53.240 people and

00:26:53.580 say,

00:26:53.780 you know

00:26:53.960 what,

00:26:54.640 I think

00:26:54.980 black

00:26:55.260 Americans

00:26:55.660 owe you.

00:27:02.580 Oh,

00:27:03.120 my God.

00:27:05.060 Yes,

00:27:05.660 I believe

00:27:06.360 he could win

00:27:06.960 the Republican

00:27:07.680 nomination with

00:27:08.600 that message.

00:27:09.840 Could he win

00:27:10.500 the general?

00:27:11.420 I don't know.

00:27:12.060 It just depends

00:27:12.600 how many

00:27:12.960 Republicans there

00:27:13.920 are compared

00:27:14.300 to Democrats.

00:27:15.640 And,

00:27:15.920 you know,

00:27:16.440 there's probably

00:27:16.920 a black-white

00:27:17.620 element to that

00:27:18.480 as well.

00:27:19.120 So,

00:27:19.520 I don't know

00:27:19.800 if he could

00:27:20.080 win,

00:27:21.380 but it's a

00:27:22.620 hell of a

00:27:23.080 message.

00:27:24.340 All right,

00:27:24.860 here's my

00:27:25.240 first question

00:27:25.840 to you.

00:27:26.900 Do you

00:27:27.120 take it as

00:27:27.660 literal or

00:27:28.560 hyperbole?

00:27:30.600 Do you

00:27:31.120 think he was

00:27:31.620 literal or

00:27:33.000 was it

00:27:33.440 obviously

00:27:34.280 hyperbole?

00:27:35.200 I'm kind of

00:27:35.600 leading the

00:27:36.020 witness here.

00:27:36.680 Of course it

00:27:37.220 was hyperbole.

00:27:37.840 No,

00:27:38.520 he doesn't

00:27:38.940 think they

00:27:39.360 should cut

00:27:39.800 checks.

00:27:41.240 No,

00:27:42.040 no,

00:27:42.960 he does not

00:27:43.600 think anybody

00:27:44.180 should cut

00:27:44.620 a check.

00:27:45.780 It's pure

00:27:46.460 hyperbole.

00:27:47.900 And it

00:27:48.520 takes one

00:27:48.940 to know

00:27:49.280 one.

00:27:50.340 So,

00:27:50.760 they're going

00:27:51.580 to treat it

00:27:52.000 like it was

00:27:52.420 real,

00:27:53.100 right?

00:27:54.040 The left

00:27:54.780 is going to

00:27:55.160 treat that

00:27:55.520 like it was

00:27:55.960 real.

00:27:56.480 That was

00:27:56.860 never real.

00:27:58.440 That was

00:27:58.740 the least

00:27:59.120 real thing

00:27:59.800 anybody ever

00:28:00.260 said.

00:28:01.180 But it's

00:28:01.620 got your

00:28:02.520 attention,

00:28:03.060 didn't it?

00:28:03.920 So,

00:28:04.240 here I am

00:28:04.780 talking about

00:28:05.900 a lieutenant

00:28:06.700 governor.

00:28:08.280 Did that

00:28:08.720 work?

00:28:09.620 Oh,

00:28:09.900 yeah,

00:28:10.100 it worked.

00:28:10.800 It worked

00:28:11.260 great.

00:28:12.020 You get all

00:28:12.440 this attention,

00:28:14.080 it's still

00:28:14.600 hyperbole.

00:28:15.900 You know,

00:28:16.220 nobody's going

00:28:16.640 to take it

00:28:16.960 that seriously.

00:28:18.320 But,

00:28:18.900 boy,

00:28:19.160 does that

00:28:19.460 reframe

00:28:19.900 stuff,

00:28:20.280 doesn't it?

00:28:20.700 And then I

00:28:22.240 said to

00:28:22.540 myself,

00:28:23.020 Scott,

00:28:24.200 Scott,

00:28:25.160 you were a

00:28:25.580 financial

00:28:25.960 analyst for

00:28:26.600 a number

00:28:27.480 of years

00:28:27.940 in your

00:28:28.300 early career.

00:28:29.560 So,

00:28:30.060 it used to

00:28:30.320 be my

00:28:30.660 job when

00:28:31.140 I worked

00:28:31.460 first for

00:28:32.020 a bank

00:28:32.460 and then

00:28:32.740 the phone

00:28:33.060 company

00:28:33.400 to do

00:28:34.480 a financial

00:28:35.200 analysis

00:28:35.720 of different

00:28:37.040 alternative

00:28:37.620 plans.

00:28:39.580 And I'd

00:28:39.800 say,

00:28:40.080 do this

00:28:40.540 or do

00:28:40.880 that,

00:28:41.260 and then I'd

00:28:41.660 figure out

00:28:42.060 which was

00:28:42.500 more expensive.

00:28:43.740 And I'd

00:28:44.180 do the math

00:28:44.760 and I'd

00:28:45.080 write it up

00:28:45.520 in a report

00:28:46.080 and I'd

00:28:46.640 make my

00:28:47.240 recommendations.

00:28:47.800 So,

00:28:49.320 I'm a

00:28:49.760 person who

00:28:50.980 has great

00:28:51.540 experience

00:28:52.160 comparing

00:28:53.340 things.

00:28:54.480 And that's

00:28:54.820 what the

00:28:55.280 reparations

00:28:55.760 are.

00:28:56.280 It's a

00:28:56.620 comparison

00:28:57.000 problem.

00:28:58.000 You know,

00:28:58.180 how are

00:28:58.780 things compared

00:28:59.460 to how they

00:28:59.920 should have

00:29:00.280 been or

00:29:00.600 could have

00:29:00.840 been?

00:29:01.740 So,

00:29:02.220 here's some

00:29:02.620 of the,

00:29:03.300 I did a little

00:29:03.700 research to

00:29:04.340 find out what

00:29:04.820 that would

00:29:05.100 look like

00:29:05.580 if I had

00:29:06.940 gotten the

00:29:07.400 assignment.

00:29:08.760 So,

00:29:09.260 say there was

00:29:09.660 no politics

00:29:10.360 involved,

00:29:10.980 of course,

00:29:11.420 that's

00:29:11.640 impossible.

00:29:12.420 But imagine

00:29:12.980 it was,

00:29:13.700 and somebody

00:29:14.020 just came

00:29:14.400 to me,

00:29:14.680 Scott,

00:29:15.040 you do this

00:29:15.500 kind of

00:29:15.780 analysis,

00:29:17.060 can you do

00:29:17.540 an analysis

00:29:18.100 of how

00:29:19.240 much reparation

00:29:20.040 should be

00:29:20.680 for slavery?

00:29:23.140 And I'd say,

00:29:23.780 all right,

00:29:24.100 but first I've

00:29:24.580 got to gather

00:29:25.140 some information.

00:29:26.760 So,

00:29:27.080 the first thing

00:29:27.420 I'd do is

00:29:28.020 I'd figure out

00:29:28.640 where did the

00:29:29.200 slaves come

00:29:29.860 from,

00:29:30.780 in what

00:29:31.480 region of

00:29:32.480 Africa.

00:29:33.980 So,

00:29:34.320 a lot of

00:29:34.600 them came

00:29:34.980 from Nigeria,

00:29:36.120 not all of

00:29:36.760 them,

00:29:37.220 but the

00:29:37.760 land that

00:29:38.660 is now

00:29:38.940 called

00:29:39.280 Nigeria

00:29:39.840 was sort

00:29:41.300 of that

00:29:41.620 geography,

00:29:42.380 was a

00:29:42.680 source for

00:29:43.120 slaves.

00:29:43.420 So,

00:29:44.520 I say

00:29:44.720 to myself,

00:29:45.280 all right,

00:29:45.560 if they

00:29:45.820 had not

00:29:46.220 been picked

00:29:47.840 up by the

00:29:48.580 evil slave

00:29:49.500 trade,

00:29:52.500 what would

00:29:54.640 be the

00:29:55.120 gross national

00:29:56.020 income of

00:29:56.780 a Nigerian

00:29:57.500 today?

00:29:59.100 It's about

00:29:59.560 $2,000 a

00:30:00.700 year in

00:30:01.280 American

00:30:01.780 dollars.

00:30:03.260 So,

00:30:04.260 the people

00:30:05.340 who were

00:30:05.740 not slaves,

00:30:07.460 and they

00:30:07.920 descended from

00:30:09.180 the people

00:30:09.560 who were

00:30:09.920 not slaves

00:30:10.820 in Nigeria,

00:30:12.620 they're making

00:30:13.120 $2,000 a

00:30:14.420 year on

00:30:14.960 average.

00:30:16.020 Now,

00:30:16.180 they do have

00:30:16.580 the middle

00:30:16.860 class,

00:30:17.720 but on

00:30:18.080 average it's

00:30:18.560 $2,000 per

00:30:19.400 year.

00:30:20.540 Let's compare

00:30:21.340 that to how

00:30:22.040 descendants of

00:30:23.360 slavery are

00:30:24.000 doing in

00:30:24.560 the United

00:30:24.800 States.

00:30:25.760 They make

00:30:26.300 $19,000

00:30:28.380 per person.

00:30:30.480 Now,

00:30:30.660 I believe,

00:30:31.540 I need a

00:30:32.360 fact check

00:30:32.940 on this.

00:30:33.780 When they

00:30:34.220 do the

00:30:34.660 income

00:30:35.180 per person,

00:30:37.600 does that

00:30:38.060 include

00:30:38.600 retired people

00:30:39.420 and children?

00:30:40.820 Right?

00:30:41.760 So,

00:30:42.160 if there's

00:30:43.340 only one

00:30:43.840 income in

00:30:44.720 the family,

00:30:45.880 that one

00:30:46.420 income is

00:30:47.000 divided by

00:30:47.560 the number

00:30:47.900 of family

00:30:48.280 members?

00:30:49.300 Is that

00:30:49.940 correct?

00:30:52.020 Because I

00:30:52.780 don't think

00:30:53.180 it's the

00:30:53.500 family.

00:30:54.580 This doesn't

00:30:55.180 sound like

00:30:55.600 the family

00:30:56.160 income.

00:30:57.260 That sounds

00:30:58.040 low for a

00:30:58.640 family income.

00:30:59.860 So,

00:31:00.200 I think it's

00:31:00.480 per person.

00:31:02.520 But in

00:31:03.340 either case,

00:31:04.040 they're compared,

00:31:04.780 I think,

00:31:05.020 the same.

00:31:06.360 So,

00:31:06.800 let's say

00:31:07.240 that a

00:31:07.780 black American

00:31:08.320 is making

00:31:09.340 10 times

00:31:10.460 as much

00:31:10.920 as somebody

00:31:12.280 who was

00:31:12.620 not descended

00:31:13.180 from slavery.

00:31:14.540 But those

00:31:15.660 are not the

00:31:16.020 only calculations

00:31:16.700 because there

00:31:19.300 were 400

00:31:20.000 years of

00:31:20.540 slavery,

00:31:22.540 400 years,

00:31:23.840 so that has

00:31:24.420 to mean

00:31:24.720 something,

00:31:25.880 compared to

00:31:27.020 like 150

00:31:28.320 some years

00:31:29.380 since slavery

00:31:30.640 ended.

00:31:31.920 So,

00:31:32.420 you'd have to

00:31:32.780 also calculate

00:31:33.520 the amount

00:31:33.940 of time,

00:31:34.900 right?

00:31:35.160 because a

00:31:36.020 little bit

00:31:36.500 of badness

00:31:37.080 over 400

00:31:37.880 years,

00:31:38.440 you've got to

00:31:38.820 multiply it

00:31:39.280 by 400.

00:31:40.540 That's a lot

00:31:41.020 of badness.

00:31:41.800 It's never

00:31:42.240 been a little

00:31:42.700 bit,

00:31:43.020 okay?

00:31:43.380 Let me amend

00:31:44.380 that.

00:31:45.160 It's always

00:31:45.660 been a lot

00:31:46.080 of badness.

00:31:47.060 But a lot

00:31:47.540 of badness

00:31:47.920 over 400

00:31:48.880 years,

00:31:50.120 that's like

00:31:50.600 400 worse

00:31:52.040 than one

00:31:52.360 year.

00:31:53.880 And they've

00:31:54.720 only been,

00:31:55.240 it's only been

00:31:55.820 post-slavery

00:31:57.680 for 158 years

00:31:59.200 or something,

00:32:00.100 something like

00:32:00.520 that.

00:32:01.620 So,

00:32:02.160 you've got to

00:32:02.460 calculate that

00:32:03.100 so you'd

00:32:03.740 have to

00:32:04.040 make sure

00:32:04.660 you have

00:32:05.140 some kind

00:32:05.440 of yearly

00:32:06.160 thing in

00:32:07.680 there.

00:32:08.660 Next thing

00:32:09.260 you'd have to

00:32:09.640 do is

00:32:10.200 figure out

00:32:10.880 number of

00:32:11.320 people.

00:32:12.780 How many

00:32:13.260 black slaves 0.99

00:32:14.460 were there

00:32:14.900 in America

00:32:15.460 in 1850?

00:32:18.580 What's your

00:32:19.000 guess?

00:32:19.880 How many

00:32:20.360 black American

00:32:21.580 slaves were

00:32:22.720 there?

00:32:24.300 Or just

00:32:24.760 black slaves,

00:32:25.420 they weren't

00:32:25.740 technically

00:32:26.300 citizens,

00:32:27.520 right?

00:32:28.080 So,

00:32:28.720 how many

00:32:29.080 black slaves 0.99

00:32:30.040 were there

00:32:30.360 in 1850?

00:32:33.380 The answer

00:32:34.080 is around

00:32:34.540 900,000.

00:32:36.400 Around 900,000.

00:32:37.700 By the way,

00:32:38.640 I would

00:32:39.040 consider that

00:32:39.660 a foundational

00:32:40.640 educational

00:32:41.540 fact,

00:32:43.120 which I

00:32:43.840 didn't know,

00:32:44.940 so that's

00:32:45.560 bad on me.

00:32:46.780 Wouldn't

00:32:47.040 you say

00:32:47.380 that people

00:32:47.760 should know

00:32:48.360 how many

00:32:49.240 people died

00:32:49.760 in the

00:32:49.980 Holocaust, 0.55

00:32:51.340 right?

00:32:51.680 How many

00:32:52.040 people died

00:32:52.580 in World

00:32:53.240 War II

00:32:53.580 in general?

00:32:54.560 About 60

00:32:55.320 million,

00:32:55.820 some say.

00:32:56.660 You should

00:32:57.300 know how

00:32:57.620 many people

00:32:58.060 died in

00:32:58.580 Vietnam,

00:32:59.120 you should

00:32:59.360 know how

00:32:59.660 many people

00:33:00.060 were killed

00:33:00.500 by Hiroshima

00:33:02.600 and Nagasaki.

00:33:04.280 Would you

00:33:04.640 agree?

00:33:05.940 I think

00:33:06.720 those are

00:33:07.020 basic numbers.

00:33:08.460 And I'm

00:33:09.320 finding much

00:33:09.980 to agree

00:33:10.380 with black

00:33:11.000 America

00:33:11.440 about the

00:33:13.240 fact that

00:33:13.780 almost nobody

00:33:14.460 knew the

00:33:14.780 right number.

00:33:16.520 That's telling

00:33:17.280 me that

00:33:17.780 education about

00:33:19.140 our slave

00:33:19.820 past was

00:33:20.620 incomplete.

00:33:21.040 How do we

00:33:22.920 not all know

00:33:23.540 that number?

00:33:25.480 Isn't that,

00:33:26.060 that's like

00:33:26.660 foundational,

00:33:27.640 right?

00:33:27.920 We know

00:33:30.020 how many

00:33:30.340 people went

00:33:30.800 to January

00:33:31.260 6th.

00:33:32.100 We know

00:33:32.640 how many

00:33:32.920 people died

00:33:33.400 in 9-11.

00:33:34.780 But it

00:33:35.460 looked like

00:33:35.880 almost none

00:33:36.400 of you

00:33:36.640 could name

00:33:37.040 the number

00:33:37.420 of slaves

00:33:38.100 at the

00:33:40.380 time that

00:33:40.740 slavery was

00:33:41.340 winding down.

00:33:43.540 I didn't

00:33:44.080 know either.

00:33:44.700 So I'm not

00:33:45.180 mocking you

00:33:45.680 because I

00:33:45.940 didn't know.

00:33:46.440 So my

00:33:47.180 education had

00:33:48.320 that gap

00:33:49.920 as well.

00:33:51.800 You agree

00:33:52.440 with me that

00:33:52.900 we should all

00:33:53.360 know that

00:33:53.700 number,

00:33:54.040 right?

00:33:54.880 That's like

00:33:55.380 so basic.

00:33:56.440 We should

00:33:56.780 know that.

00:33:57.740 So round

00:33:58.340 a million,

00:33:58.940 just round

00:33:59.660 it off to

00:34:00.060 a million.

00:34:01.000 So let's

00:34:01.300 say there

00:34:01.540 were a million

00:34:01.940 slaves when

00:34:02.600 slavery ended.

00:34:03.640 All right.

00:34:04.180 Now,

00:34:04.640 second number

00:34:05.180 you should

00:34:05.500 know.

00:34:06.600 What

00:34:06.860 percentage

00:34:07.360 of America

00:34:08.080 is black?

00:34:11.040 I'll bet

00:34:11.320 most of you

00:34:11.700 know this

00:34:12.060 number.

00:34:13.260 Percentage

00:34:13.700 of black

00:34:14.220 Americans.

00:34:16.580 Around 13,

00:34:17.760 14 percent,

00:34:18.480 right?

00:34:19.180 Yeah,

00:34:19.540 13,

00:34:19.980 14.

00:34:20.520 So a lot

00:34:21.100 of people

00:34:21.300 know that

00:34:21.700 number,

00:34:22.200 but you

00:34:22.500 didn't know

00:34:22.800 how many

00:34:23.080 slaves.

00:34:23.440 I mean,

00:34:24.580 that really,

00:34:26.660 that's kind

00:34:28.220 of a shocker

00:34:28.740 to me,

00:34:29.300 but it's a

00:34:29.940 shocker about

00:34:30.420 myself as

00:34:31.380 well.

00:34:32.500 You should

00:34:32.880 all know

00:34:33.140 that number.

00:34:35.580 All right,

00:34:35.920 so that

00:34:37.100 translates to

00:34:37.800 about 41

00:34:38.400 million black

00:34:39.720 Americans now.

00:34:41.300 So there

00:34:41.980 were a

00:34:42.500 million slaves

00:34:44.980 and there

00:34:45.340 are 41

00:34:45.760 million black

00:34:46.760 Americans,

00:34:47.640 but they

00:34:48.300 didn't all

00:34:48.780 come from,

00:34:50.640 they're not

00:34:51.080 all descendants

00:34:51.640 of slavery.

00:34:52.240 So if

00:34:53.540 you take

00:34:54.820 off the

00:34:55.200 top,

00:34:55.580 the number

00:34:55.900 of people

00:34:56.240 who were

00:34:56.440 probably

00:34:56.700 immigrants

00:34:57.160 or non-descended

00:34:58.100 from slavery,

00:34:59.300 so maybe

00:34:59.700 30 million,

00:35:00.980 this is my

00:35:01.720 estimate,

00:35:02.920 30 million-ish

00:35:04.160 black Americans

00:35:06.040 who were

00:35:06.420 descended from

00:35:07.020 slavery.

00:35:08.720 So that

00:35:09.420 would be

00:35:09.720 30 million

00:35:10.460 people who

00:35:11.200 are making

00:35:11.680 $19,000

00:35:13.220 compared to

00:35:15.580 $2,000

00:35:16.160 per year.

00:35:18.500 Anyway,

00:35:18.780 then next,

00:35:22.540 if I were

00:35:23.240 doing this

00:35:23.580 calculation,

00:35:24.760 I would

00:35:25.320 also look

00:35:25.880 at the

00:35:26.400 cost and

00:35:27.560 benefit in

00:35:29.820 a crime

00:35:30.460 situation.

00:35:31.820 What do

00:35:32.360 you think

00:35:32.720 is the

00:35:33.240 cost of

00:35:33.800 crime?

00:35:34.720 Because we

00:35:35.240 do know

00:35:35.620 that black 1.00

00:35:36.840 Americans are

00:35:37.620 disproportionately

00:35:38.320 in prison.

00:35:40.720 You know,

00:35:40.900 as a per capita,

00:35:42.160 there are more

00:35:42.500 black people in

00:35:43.140 prison,

00:35:43.820 and that costs

00:35:44.560 money.

00:35:44.860 So the

00:35:47.220 cost of

00:35:47.680 keeping one

00:35:48.300 prisoner for

00:35:49.280 a year is

00:35:49.880 $106,000.

00:35:52.720 So if I were

00:35:53.720 calculating this,

00:35:54.500 I'd say,

00:35:54.860 well, here's a

00:35:56.620 basic assumption.

00:35:57.780 I'd probably

00:35:58.060 have to do

00:35:58.440 two calculations.

00:35:59.740 One calculation

00:36:00.540 says that the

00:36:01.600 excess crime of

00:36:02.940 black Americans

00:36:03.740 is caused by

00:36:05.120 white people

00:36:05.660 and caused

00:36:07.300 by slavery.

00:36:08.920 So that should

00:36:09.780 be part of the

00:36:10.500 expense that

00:36:11.300 white people are 0.70

00:36:12.340 responsible for.

00:36:13.380 Because they

00:36:13.880 created a

00:36:14.500 situation that

00:36:15.300 caused crime

00:36:15.960 to be high,

00:36:17.160 and therefore

00:36:17.580 that's a white

00:36:18.140 person causing

00:36:19.540 trillions of

00:36:20.200 dollars of

00:36:20.700 criminal activity.

00:36:22.780 Or, I would

00:36:24.420 do two

00:36:24.900 calculations.

00:36:25.660 The second

00:36:25.980 would be

00:36:26.820 personal

00:36:27.540 responsibility,

00:36:30.820 where it

00:36:31.380 doesn't matter

00:36:31.780 what happened

00:36:32.300 to you in

00:36:32.760 your youth,

00:36:33.400 it doesn't

00:36:33.760 matter what

00:36:34.920 your environment

00:36:35.420 was, if you

00:36:36.440 committed the

00:36:36.940 crime, well,

00:36:37.840 that's on you.

00:36:39.120 Now, that

00:36:39.560 would be a

00:36:40.260 second completely

00:36:41.220 different calculation,

00:36:42.660 but apparently

00:36:43.600 the cost of

00:36:44.720 crime, at

00:36:45.420 least by one

00:36:46.000 estimate, in

00:36:46.720 the U.S. is

00:36:47.300 $2.6 trillion

00:36:48.600 per year.

00:36:50.580 $2.6 trillion.

00:36:51.760 That's all

00:36:52.220 crime.

00:36:53.360 And then

00:36:53.900 one estimate

00:36:56.060 is that although

00:36:57.040 black Americans

00:36:58.140 are 13% of the

00:36:59.460 population of

00:37:00.100 America, they

00:37:01.300 account for

00:37:01.800 roughly a third

00:37:03.080 of the crimes.

00:37:04.600 Americans, so 1.00

00:37:06.840 would you

00:37:08.440 include in

00:37:10.580 reparations the

00:37:12.380 cost of

00:37:12.980 excess crime

00:37:13.940 and say,

00:37:15.720 all right,

00:37:17.040 the reparations

00:37:17.920 might be this

00:37:18.580 big, but you

00:37:19.240 have to

00:37:19.560 subtract the

00:37:20.860 cost of

00:37:21.240 crime?

00:37:22.220 Or would

00:37:22.920 you do the

00:37:23.280 opposite?

00:37:24.020 Would you do

00:37:24.460 the opposite?

00:37:25.580 Because that

00:37:25.980 would be just

00:37:26.520 as justifiable.

00:37:27.800 You'd say, no,

00:37:28.600 this crime exists

00:37:29.720 because of what

00:37:31.360 white people did 0.51

00:37:32.100 to slaves, and 0.91

00:37:33.520 therefore white

00:37:34.160 people should be

00:37:34.740 paying that extra.

00:37:36.180 In fact, that

00:37:36.760 should be money

00:37:37.240 that should be

00:37:37.680 paid to the

00:37:38.860 criminals, because

00:37:40.380 the criminals

00:37:40.860 didn't cause it.

00:37:41.960 They were put

00:37:42.760 into a situation

00:37:43.500 which guaranteed

00:37:44.820 there would be

00:37:45.300 high crime,

00:37:46.160 because it was

00:37:46.580 high poverty.

00:37:47.720 High poverty

00:37:48.320 pretty much

00:37:48.980 guarantees high

00:37:49.680 crime.

00:37:52.320 So yes, so

00:37:53.300 you've got

00:37:53.640 offsetting

00:37:54.320 calculations.

00:37:55.120 It would be

00:37:55.380 difficult to do

00:37:56.020 that calculation,

00:37:56.860 wouldn't it?

00:37:58.520 So here's my

00:37:59.400 point.

00:38:00.620 Do you think

00:38:01.180 you could ever

00:38:01.700 calculate reparations

00:38:03.180 I believe that

00:38:05.680 you could do

00:38:06.160 it at least

00:38:07.460 three different

00:38:08.160 ways, depending

00:38:10.080 on who you

00:38:10.640 think is

00:38:11.000 responsible for

00:38:11.840 the $2.6

00:38:13.260 trillion per

00:38:14.180 year of crime.

00:38:15.240 Mostly white

00:38:16.140 people for

00:38:16.660 creating the

00:38:17.360 situation, or

00:38:18.880 to some extent

00:38:20.580 also black

00:38:21.660 Americans for

00:38:22.560 having a higher

00:38:23.380 crime rate than

00:38:24.560 other groups.

00:38:26.780 And that's

00:38:27.560 kind of

00:38:27.880 philosophical.

00:38:29.000 That's not a

00:38:29.520 math question.

00:38:31.460 Right?

00:38:31.820 It's not a

00:38:32.220 math question.

00:38:32.800 But yet we're

00:38:33.640 asked to do

00:38:34.120 math.

00:38:35.380 If there's one

00:38:36.220 thing I can

00:38:36.760 teach you, is

00:38:37.880 that math is

00:38:39.000 always, oh, I'm

00:38:39.960 going to come up

00:38:40.380 with a saying

00:38:40.940 that will be

00:38:41.620 quotable forever.

00:38:43.220 I'm going to

00:38:43.580 try to come up

00:38:44.100 with some

00:38:44.540 Andrew

00:38:45.700 Breitbart-like

00:38:46.580 saying.

00:38:47.520 You know where

00:38:47.940 he said that

00:38:48.620 politics is

00:38:50.660 downstream from

00:38:51.400 culture?

00:38:54.460 Something like

00:38:55.060 that.

00:38:55.500 I was going to

00:38:56.180 come up with

00:38:56.580 one of those.

00:38:57.060 that when you're

00:38:59.160 doing calculations,

00:39:01.440 your math is

00:39:03.220 downstream from

00:39:04.040 your assumptions.

00:39:05.280 Oh, that's

00:39:05.600 pretty good.

00:39:06.600 Math is

00:39:07.440 downstream from

00:39:08.360 assumptions.

00:39:09.280 If you're

00:39:09.820 looking at the

00:39:10.260 math, you're

00:39:10.920 wasting your

00:39:11.380 time.

00:39:12.700 Because the

00:39:13.060 math was

00:39:13.620 subordinate

00:39:15.180 to, let's

00:39:20.900 say the

00:39:21.220 math was

00:39:21.900 subordinate to

00:39:22.660 the assumptions.

00:39:23.640 The assumptions

00:39:24.260 are the math.

00:39:26.080 So if you

00:39:26.740 decided, oh, I

00:39:27.620 think I'm

00:39:28.020 going to blame

00:39:29.260 one group or

00:39:30.240 the other group

00:39:30.920 for a crime,

00:39:32.400 well, that's a

00:39:32.920 $2.6 trillion

00:39:34.500 variable per

00:39:35.580 year.

00:39:36.760 The entire

00:39:37.960 calculation would

00:39:38.980 depend on your

00:39:39.560 assumptions, not

00:39:40.940 on your math.

00:39:42.260 You could do

00:39:43.140 all the math

00:39:43.620 wrong.

00:39:45.180 And the

00:39:45.960 assumptions would

00:39:46.640 still tell you

00:39:48.100 which direction

00:39:48.680 things were

00:39:49.120 going.

00:39:50.480 So I do

00:39:52.860 think that the

00:39:53.860 discussion of

00:39:54.700 reparations is

00:39:55.860 infantilizing the

00:39:57.280 black community.

00:39:59.200 In my opinion,

00:40:00.560 treating reparations

00:40:01.820 like it's a

00:40:02.480 serious topic is

00:40:04.800 treating black 1.00

00:40:05.640 people like

00:40:06.120 children.

00:40:07.260 And it's

00:40:07.560 basically, oh,

00:40:08.720 yeah, we'll

00:40:09.280 look into that,

00:40:10.860 kids.

00:40:12.300 But when are we

00:40:13.320 going to get

00:40:13.660 there, dad?

00:40:14.200 When are we

00:40:14.700 going to get

00:40:15.040 there?

00:40:15.600 Oh, real

00:40:16.060 soon.

00:40:17.940 Right?

00:40:18.300 It just sounds

00:40:18.860 like parents

00:40:19.420 lying to

00:40:19.880 children.

00:40:20.920 I find it

00:40:21.660 offensive.

00:40:22.800 The reparations,

00:40:24.580 I feel it's

00:40:25.900 offensive to

00:40:26.820 black Americans

00:40:27.580 to have the

00:40:28.900 conversation.

00:40:30.780 Do you feel

00:40:31.500 that way?

00:40:32.920 I feel it's

00:40:33.900 literally an

00:40:34.420 insult to

00:40:34.960 black Americans

00:40:35.640 to even have

00:40:36.900 the conversation.

00:40:38.540 It feels that

00:40:39.380 way to me.

00:40:40.420 I would kind

00:40:41.000 of hate it.

00:40:41.440 If the

00:40:41.960 situation were

00:40:42.740 reversed, I

00:40:43.980 would hate

00:40:44.360 it.

00:40:45.460 If I

00:40:46.040 succeeded as

00:40:46.980 a black

00:40:48.000 American, I

00:40:49.180 would just

00:40:49.680 hate this

00:40:50.240 conversation

00:40:50.960 because it

00:40:51.420 would make

00:40:51.720 me feel

00:40:53.060 like my

00:40:53.460 accomplishment

00:40:53.960 would be

00:40:54.500 viewed less

00:40:55.880 positively than

00:40:58.060 it should be.

00:40:59.500 Yeah.

00:41:02.280 Anyway, I

00:41:03.120 think this

00:41:03.460 whole conversation

00:41:04.240 on race is

00:41:05.260 starting to

00:41:05.720 loosen up a

00:41:06.300 little bit.

00:41:06.680 you're

00:41:07.500 welcome.

00:41:08.980 So here's

00:41:09.500 a little

00:41:12.100 mystery that

00:41:12.820 I think is

00:41:13.320 solved.

00:41:14.200 I've been

00:41:14.720 wondering why

00:41:15.600 Fox News

00:41:16.360 settled.

00:41:18.120 Because I

00:41:19.100 kept looking at

00:41:19.760 the evidence

00:41:20.360 and the

00:41:21.460 evidence was,

00:41:22.640 the charge

00:41:23.500 was that the

00:41:25.060 Fox News

00:41:25.540 people knew

00:41:26.360 they were

00:41:26.940 telling lies

00:41:28.140 about the

00:41:28.580 election.

00:41:29.580 And I kept

00:41:30.240 looking at all

00:41:30.720 the emails and

00:41:31.480 the messages and

00:41:32.200 I never saw

00:41:32.700 that.

00:41:33.700 And so I

00:41:34.040 said, how

00:41:34.980 could they

00:41:35.420 lose a

00:41:35.880 case that

00:41:36.940 literally doesn't

00:41:37.560 have any

00:41:37.940 evidence against

00:41:38.640 them?

00:41:39.440 How is that

00:41:40.180 possible?

00:41:41.380 So I was

00:41:42.260 predicting they

00:41:43.440 would win their

00:41:44.000 case.

00:41:45.540 And then they

00:41:46.560 settled for a

00:41:47.660 god awful amount

00:41:48.740 of money,

00:41:49.480 allegedly,

00:41:50.220 hundreds of

00:41:50.860 millions of

00:41:51.260 dollars.

00:41:52.060 And I was

00:41:52.680 still confused.

00:41:54.080 I was like,

00:41:54.860 okay.

00:41:55.880 Like, I get

00:41:56.660 that people

00:41:57.140 settle when they

00:41:58.000 think they're

00:41:58.380 innocent.

00:41:59.400 That's not

00:42:00.180 unusual.

00:42:01.240 But this is

00:42:02.020 so much money

00:42:02.920 and there's no

00:42:04.520 evidence of the

00:42:05.480 crime.

00:42:06.460 Why would

00:42:06.860 you possibly

00:42:07.540 settle that?

00:42:08.840 And then I

00:42:09.240 wondered what

00:42:10.060 Alan Dershowitz

00:42:11.660 would say,

00:42:13.020 because for

00:42:14.120 years I've been

00:42:14.840 sort of following

00:42:15.480 what Dershowitz

00:42:16.100 says, and I

00:42:17.480 try to guess

00:42:18.760 what he will

00:42:19.300 say before he

00:42:20.000 says it.

00:42:20.880 And here's

00:42:21.500 what Dershowitz

00:42:21.960 says.

00:42:23.900 This is

00:42:24.460 somebody quoting

00:42:25.160 him, so I

00:42:25.940 didn't see it

00:42:26.380 from him.

00:42:26.900 If I have

00:42:27.660 this wrong,

00:42:28.660 will somebody

00:42:29.160 fact-check me

00:42:29.900 on this right

00:42:30.400 away?

00:42:30.680 I don't want

00:42:31.060 to get this

00:42:31.420 wrong.

00:42:32.300 But somebody's

00:42:33.120 reporting what

00:42:33.820 Dershowitz said.

00:42:34.740 He doesn't

00:42:38.060 know why

00:42:38.380 Fox News

00:42:39.060 settled, because

00:42:40.220 in his opinion

00:42:40.880 they had a

00:42:41.380 better than

00:42:41.740 50% chance

00:42:42.840 of winning

00:42:43.140 the case.

00:42:45.140 Now, that's

00:42:45.880 how you do

00:42:46.220 the math.

00:42:46.820 So Dershowitz

00:42:47.400 apparently knows

00:42:48.080 how to do

00:42:48.460 risk calculations.

00:42:50.320 Good for him.

00:42:50.960 The way you

00:42:52.040 do this is, if

00:42:52.880 you have a

00:42:53.260 50% chance

00:42:54.360 of winning

00:42:54.860 and the

00:42:56.900 case is a

00:42:57.600 billion dollars

00:42:58.200 against you,

00:42:59.460 you should

00:42:59.880 count that as

00:43:00.780 like half a

00:43:01.320 billion dollars.

00:43:03.020 So it's

00:43:04.400 sort of like a

00:43:05.340 toss-up in that

00:43:05.920 case.

00:43:06.700 So he is

00:43:07.300 correctly saying

00:43:08.080 that if the

00:43:08.580 odds of winning

00:43:09.180 were greater

00:43:09.680 than 50%,

00:43:10.680 the best

00:43:11.680 financial move

00:43:12.900 would have

00:43:13.260 been to fight

00:43:14.080 the case in

00:43:14.860 court.

00:43:15.480 But they

00:43:16.000 settled.

00:43:16.320 And here

00:43:18.020 is the

00:43:18.380 speculation

00:43:18.960 that Patrick

00:43:21.520 Byrne tweets

00:43:23.080 today.

00:43:24.440 And he said

00:43:25.480 he got a

00:43:26.220 leak a few

00:43:27.800 weeks ago

00:43:28.280 that Fox

00:43:29.340 was going to

00:43:29.860 settle in the

00:43:30.500 hundreds of

00:43:30.960 millions.

00:43:31.480 So this is

00:43:31.960 before they

00:43:32.500 settled.

00:43:33.480 So this is

00:43:34.600 to his

00:43:35.160 credibility

00:43:35.780 that he had

00:43:38.200 heard weeks

00:43:38.860 before that

00:43:39.400 they were going

00:43:39.680 to settle for

00:43:40.100 hundreds of

00:43:40.480 millions.

00:43:41.520 And that

00:43:42.020 they were going

00:43:43.380 to do that

00:43:43.900 because Rupert

00:43:45.300 Murdoch thought

00:43:46.060 would help

00:43:46.620 Trump if

00:43:48.380 they won

00:43:48.820 the suit.

00:43:50.860 Because imagine

00:43:51.720 if Fox News

00:43:52.620 won the

00:43:53.680 suit, which

00:43:55.000 said they

00:43:55.400 were lying

00:43:55.980 about the

00:43:56.520 election being

00:43:57.220 rigged.

00:43:59.840 Because they

00:44:00.500 weren't lying,

00:44:01.460 they were just

00:44:02.420 showing what

00:44:02.940 people were

00:44:03.360 saying.

00:44:03.900 I don't think

00:44:04.320 they lied at

00:44:04.840 all, except

00:44:06.440 in the opinion

00:44:07.040 world, which

00:44:07.720 is not really

00:44:08.240 a lie, just

00:44:08.920 an opinion.

00:44:11.760 Do you

00:44:12.360 believe that?

00:44:14.120 Do you

00:44:14.720 believe that

00:44:15.380 Rupert Murdoch

00:44:16.360 would spend

00:44:18.660 hundreds of

00:44:19.340 millions to

00:44:20.440 make sure that

00:44:21.340 Trump didn't

00:44:22.340 look better?

00:44:24.500 Because the

00:44:25.100 biggest thing

00:44:25.520 keeping Trump

00:44:26.100 out of office

00:44:26.640 would be

00:44:27.000 January 6th,

00:44:27.820 wouldn't you

00:44:28.160 say?

00:44:28.340 I mean, maybe

00:44:30.700 not, but it

00:44:31.700 feels like it's

00:44:32.780 going to be the

00:44:33.220 thing.

00:44:34.180 So, but I do

00:44:36.380 follow the logic

00:44:37.360 of it.

00:44:38.460 I would say I'm

00:44:39.600 not going to

00:44:40.120 believe this story

00:44:41.080 because it feels

00:44:41.740 like there might

00:44:42.260 be more to

00:44:42.760 it, but it

00:44:44.880 does track.

00:44:46.380 It tracks.

00:44:47.180 Here's how it

00:44:47.780 tracks.

00:44:48.260 Suppose you're

00:44:48.780 Rupert Murdoch

00:44:49.480 and he's, would

00:44:52.080 you agree that

00:44:52.560 Rupert Murdoch is

00:44:53.480 probably a genius

00:44:55.400 at risk assessment?

00:44:57.940 Would you

00:44:58.640 agree?

00:44:59.700 I mean, he's

00:45:00.700 Rupert Murdoch.

00:45:02.520 He's probably a

00:45:04.560 genius at risk

00:45:06.620 assessment.

00:45:07.520 So here was his

00:45:08.520 risk assessment.

00:45:09.220 If I fight it, I

00:45:11.500 might lose 1.6

00:45:12.920 billion.

00:45:14.120 Bad.

00:45:15.600 So, so in the

00:45:16.620 worst case, I

00:45:17.680 lose 1.6

00:45:18.840 billion.

00:45:19.660 In the best

00:45:20.400 case, I save

00:45:21.240 1.6 billion and

00:45:22.880 I guarantee that

00:45:23.800 Trump is

00:45:25.300 president.

00:45:27.560 But if I

00:45:28.360 settle, I, I

00:45:30.940 half the risk,

00:45:31.760 it's half the

00:45:32.320 risk of losing

00:45:33.000 the whole thing

00:45:33.700 and maybe he

00:45:34.620 can afford half

00:45:35.420 the risk.

00:45:36.120 It could be

00:45:36.800 that he just

00:45:37.260 did the math

00:45:37.840 and he said,

00:45:38.220 I can afford

00:45:39.600 half of this

00:45:40.380 and still stay

00:45:41.960 in business.

00:45:43.100 At least Fox

00:45:43.740 News can stay

00:45:44.340 in business.

00:45:45.320 But if I pay

00:45:46.160 all of it, I

00:45:46.980 don't even know

00:45:47.340 how to keep

00:45:47.700 the lights on

00:45:48.320 for the

00:45:49.360 business.

00:45:50.060 I mean, I

00:45:50.380 suppose there's

00:45:50.880 a way, but

00:45:51.380 and then on

00:45:54.440 top of that,

00:45:55.560 he would be

00:45:56.020 getting Trump

00:45:56.540 elected and he

00:45:57.420 doesn't want to

00:45:58.240 be in the

00:45:58.500 business of

00:45:59.020 making that

00:45:59.500 happen,

00:45:59.840 apparently.

00:46:01.300 So, I

00:46:02.960 don't know.

00:46:03.980 I feel like it

00:46:04.820 might not be the

00:46:05.460 whole story,

00:46:06.180 but it's

00:46:07.520 plausible.

00:46:08.800 I would rate

00:46:09.800 that as

00:46:10.160 plausible.

00:46:12.340 Yeah.

00:46:13.040 How many of

00:46:13.720 you think

00:46:13.960 that's

00:46:14.200 plausible?

00:46:15.240 We can't

00:46:15.780 say it's

00:46:16.080 true.

00:46:17.900 Sound

00:46:18.200 plausible?

00:46:19.060 That the

00:46:19.920 Trump election

00:46:20.600 was the

00:46:21.040 main reason

00:46:21.580 for settling?

00:46:24.680 I don't know.

00:46:25.800 It doesn't

00:46:26.380 feel,

00:46:28.140 I don't know,

00:46:29.840 feels 40%

00:46:31.000 true or

00:46:31.720 something like

00:46:32.200 that.

00:46:32.420 All right.

00:46:34.200 It could

00:46:34.480 have been

00:46:34.720 part of

00:46:35.080 the decision

00:46:36.900 though.

00:46:39.260 Have I ever

00:46:39.900 described what

00:46:40.620 a husband

00:46:41.080 apology is?

00:46:42.300 I've told you

00:46:42.960 that, right?

00:46:44.160 So, this is

00:46:45.040 sort of a

00:46:45.680 sexist, you

00:46:46.540 know, sexist

00:46:48.040 50s kind of

00:46:49.300 a look on

00:46:50.060 relationships.

00:46:51.540 So, you

00:46:52.060 don't have to

00:46:52.500 tell me it's

00:46:52.900 sexist. 0.58

00:46:53.540 I'm just

00:46:53.920 making a

00:46:54.320 point here.

00:46:55.340 So, a

00:46:55.660 husband apology

00:46:57.340 is when the

00:46:58.380 wife insists 0.99

00:46:59.060 on apology,

00:47:00.500 the man knows

00:47:01.460 that it

00:47:01.780 wasn't his

00:47:02.240 fault, but

00:47:03.440 he just

00:47:03.840 needs to

00:47:04.300 get through

00:47:04.600 the day.

00:47:05.820 Yes, dear,

00:47:07.340 totally my

00:47:08.340 fault, it's

00:47:09.740 all me, sorry

00:47:11.340 I did that,

00:47:12.620 won't happen

00:47:13.240 again, and

00:47:14.400 then you can

00:47:15.060 get on with

00:47:15.660 your life.

00:47:17.460 Well, apparently

00:47:18.460 Robert F.

00:47:19.760 Kennedy Jr.

00:47:20.580 did a husband

00:47:21.160 apology in

00:47:22.420 public, and

00:47:23.500 he's just

00:47:23.860 coming clean

00:47:24.420 about it.

00:47:25.520 He did a

00:47:26.180 fake apology.

00:47:27.420 Here's the

00:47:27.980 story.

00:47:29.820 I'll just

00:47:30.480 read his

00:47:30.880 tweet.

00:47:31.140 So, it's

00:47:31.720 Robert F.

00:47:32.780 Kennedy Jr.

00:47:33.860 He says,

00:47:34.380 for the record,

00:47:35.440 I never

00:47:35.860 compared the

00:47:36.460 government's

00:47:36.980 COVID mandates

00:47:37.900 to the

00:47:38.300 Holocaust, as 0.93

00:47:39.500 the New York

00:47:40.140 Times falsely

00:47:41.720 reported this

00:47:42.580 week.

00:47:44.060 Huh.

00:47:45.400 Let's see,

00:47:46.180 it's RFK Jr.

00:47:47.420 against the

00:47:47.960 New York

00:47:48.320 Times.

00:47:49.480 Which one

00:47:49.920 do you

00:47:50.180 believe?

00:47:52.580 I'll tell

00:47:53.220 you, it's a

00:47:53.960 good time to

00:47:54.600 be RFK

00:47:55.280 Jr.

00:47:56.680 Because he

00:47:57.380 can go up

00:47:57.840 against the

00:47:58.260 New York

00:47:58.520 Times, and

00:47:59.020 you don't

00:47:59.340 even blink.

00:48:00.600 You go, oh,

00:48:02.020 the New York

00:48:02.460 Times lied.

00:48:03.840 Right?

00:48:04.940 Is there

00:48:05.480 anybody here

00:48:06.240 who thinks the

00:48:06.740 New York

00:48:07.000 Times story was

00:48:07.760 probably true,

00:48:09.300 and that RFK

00:48:10.280 Jr.

00:48:10.800 is lying?

00:48:12.640 No.

00:48:13.920 No.

00:48:15.180 No, everybody

00:48:16.140 thinks he's

00:48:16.800 telling the

00:48:17.440 truth.

00:48:18.200 What a good

00:48:18.840 place to be.

00:48:20.240 I can't think

00:48:21.140 of anybody

00:48:21.600 else who

00:48:22.820 could walk

00:48:23.340 into this

00:48:23.860 conversation with

00:48:24.860 the New York

00:48:25.280 Times, and

00:48:26.380 you just go, oh,

00:48:27.180 New York Times

00:48:27.860 lied.

00:48:29.000 Right.

00:48:29.520 Got it.

00:48:30.640 Now, if I

00:48:31.260 told you that

00:48:31.860 the press gets

00:48:33.480 100% stories about

00:48:34.840 public figures

00:48:35.580 wrong, you

00:48:36.880 don't think that's

00:48:37.440 true, do you?

00:48:38.380 You don't believe

00:48:39.300 that they get 100%

00:48:40.960 of the stories

00:48:41.600 wrong about

00:48:42.380 public figures.

00:48:43.480 They do.

00:48:44.560 It's all of

00:48:45.180 them.

00:48:46.000 This is just

00:48:46.800 another example.

00:48:48.320 So he goes

00:48:48.880 on.

00:48:50.800 So where did the

00:48:51.760 New York Times get

00:48:52.520 this information?

00:48:53.180 Huh.

00:48:54.160 Turns out that

00:48:54.980 according to

00:48:55.540 RFK Jr., CNN

00:48:56.820 originated this

00:48:58.480 mischaracterization.

00:49:00.420 Oh.

00:49:01.500 So now we see

00:49:02.520 how this works.

00:49:03.860 So CNN

00:49:04.520 mischaracterizes it.

00:49:06.400 Then the New York

00:49:07.000 Times reports it

00:49:07.940 as something

00:49:09.100 like a fact.

00:49:11.360 All right.

00:49:12.340 But did he say

00:49:13.100 anything about

00:49:13.820 the Holocaust? 0.64

00:49:16.360 Apparently he did

00:49:17.200 some in-Frank

00:49:18.340 reference, but it

00:49:19.120 was in a different

00:49:19.700 context.

00:49:20.320 And then here's

00:49:23.340 the part at the

00:49:24.180 end.

00:49:24.480 RFK Jr.

00:49:25.100 says, the

00:49:25.940 onslaught of

00:49:26.880 relentless media

00:49:27.900 indignation finally

00:49:29.580 compelled me to

00:49:30.500 apologize for a

00:49:32.200 statement I never

00:49:33.060 made in order to

00:49:34.540 protect my family.

00:49:36.600 It was a husband 0.64

00:49:37.380 apology.

00:49:39.040 He knew he

00:49:39.700 wasn't wrong, but

00:49:41.540 he just had to get

00:49:42.220 past it.

00:49:43.320 So now he does

00:49:44.840 what I also did.

00:49:46.840 You might be

00:49:48.260 comparing this to

00:49:48.900 my own story.

00:49:49.500 If you wait

00:49:50.840 long enough, you

00:49:52.200 can admit it was a

00:49:53.060 husband apology, which

00:49:55.640 is what he did.

00:49:56.660 Perfect.

00:49:57.920 Perfect.

00:49:58.740 I love the way he

00:49:59.540 handled this.

00:50:00.480 I love the way that

00:50:01.320 he treated them like

00:50:02.340 children and

00:50:03.540 apologized because he

00:50:05.380 knew that he couldn't

00:50:06.000 deal with them as

00:50:06.600 adults.

00:50:08.140 Rather than say,

00:50:09.400 well, here's my

00:50:10.580 speech.

00:50:11.000 It's a public

00:50:11.480 record.

00:50:12.380 Why don't you just

00:50:13.060 look at it and you

00:50:14.540 can see that I'm

00:50:15.240 right?

00:50:15.940 Could have done

00:50:16.420 that.

00:50:17.440 Do you think that

00:50:17.980 would have worked?

00:50:20.160 No.

00:50:21.740 Because they would

00:50:22.440 have looked at his

00:50:22.940 speech and imagined

00:50:23.720 they heard it.

00:50:25.100 They would have.

00:50:25.860 They would have

00:50:26.140 said, I listened to

00:50:27.100 it.

00:50:27.300 It's right there, even

00:50:28.600 if it's not.

00:50:29.780 And I don't think it

00:50:30.740 is.

00:50:32.540 So he played this the

00:50:33.600 only way you can play

00:50:34.460 it right, which is

00:50:36.240 he did a fake

00:50:37.300 husband apology.

00:50:38.760 He waited a little

00:50:39.680 while, and then he

00:50:41.120 called them out for

00:50:42.080 being stupid lying

00:50:43.840 press.

00:50:44.200 and it worked.

00:50:48.220 Nicely done.

00:50:50.740 So, that, ladies 0.90

00:50:53.680 and gentlemen, is the

00:50:56.040 fun part.

00:50:56.940 I just want to show

00:50:57.640 you something that's

00:51:00.360 a sign of the times.

00:51:01.820 There's a tweet going

00:51:03.080 around from Caitlin

00:51:04.060 Collins of CNN that

00:51:05.940 purports to show

00:51:07.200 DeSantis meeting with

00:51:08.300 the Japanese prime

00:51:09.320 minister.

00:51:09.640 And he answers the

00:51:11.740 question, something

00:51:13.800 about running for

00:51:14.540 president, by making

00:51:19.000 a funny face.

00:51:21.060 I'm going to show you

00:51:21.980 the funny face he

00:51:22.780 makes, and here's my

00:51:24.200 question.

00:51:25.500 Is this modified?

00:51:27.880 Or is that actually

00:51:28.720 his face?

00:51:30.240 Because we're in the

00:51:31.340 age of AI, I look at

00:51:33.260 his face and I say,

00:51:34.720 that doesn't look like

00:51:36.360 a real person.

00:51:37.820 I'm going to show it

00:51:38.620 to you.

00:51:38.880 It'll be hard to see

00:51:39.740 on my little phone,

00:51:40.900 but I think you'll

00:51:41.500 get the idea.

00:51:42.360 I'll show you going

00:51:43.360 behind a Trump thing.

00:51:45.720 What?

00:51:46.400 I'm not a candidate,

00:51:48.060 so we'll see if and

00:51:49.680 when that changes.

00:51:50.960 Did you see it?

00:51:51.600 He goes, ah,

00:51:52.420 I'm not a candidate.

00:51:56.320 I'm not a candidate,

00:51:58.100 so we'll see if and

00:51:59.720 when that changes.

00:52:02.440 Does that look

00:52:04.760 modified?

00:52:08.880 Now, I'm not saying

00:52:11.520 it's modified,

00:52:12.760 but CNN is tweeting

00:52:14.060 it, and he looks

00:52:15.740 just like a little

00:52:17.760 more crazy-eyed

00:52:19.060 than I've ever seen

00:52:20.820 him.

00:52:21.800 Now, it could be,

00:52:23.120 it could be that he's

00:52:24.420 trying to joke,

00:52:25.900 and he's not good at

00:52:26.820 joking.

00:52:28.160 Because this plays

00:52:29.500 into Trump's

00:52:31.100 statement.

00:52:31.940 So you know how

00:52:33.500 Trump said he needs

00:52:34.400 a, he's going into

00:52:35.480 the hospital for a

00:52:36.720 personality transplant?

00:52:38.800 And then you see

00:52:39.380 this, where it looks

00:52:40.600 like he's trying to

00:52:41.340 make a joke, or he's

00:52:43.180 trying to be playful,

00:52:44.600 but he comes off as

00:52:45.880 somebody who's never

00:52:46.720 made a joke before.

00:52:48.800 Like, he looks like

00:52:50.060 an alien.

00:52:51.160 Yeah, a shape-shifting

00:52:52.220 lizard.

00:52:53.420 He looks like an 0.98

00:52:54.720 alien from another 0.98

00:52:55.500 planet who's asked a

00:52:56.900 question, and his

00:52:57.840 programming doesn't

00:52:58.820 cover that situation.

00:53:00.660 Programming says,

00:53:02.200 act whimsical to

00:53:03.880 laugh off notion

00:53:04.860 you're running for

00:53:05.560 president, when

00:53:06.260 obviously you're

00:53:06.960 running for president.

00:53:08.300 Make funny face.

00:53:09.660 Well, well, I

00:53:11.180 were running for

00:53:11.740 president.

00:53:13.600 I don't know.

00:53:16.120 But, so there's,

00:53:19.160 part of the story is

00:53:20.280 DeSantis, but part of

00:53:22.840 the story is, how

00:53:24.540 easy would it be for

00:53:25.860 AI to turn somebody

00:53:28.340 normal into the,

00:53:29.780 Uncanny Valley, where

00:53:32.540 you just tweak it a

00:53:33.340 little bit and they

00:53:33.900 don't look human?

00:53:35.500 Just don't look human.

00:53:37.680 Like, there was

00:53:38.140 something about that

00:53:38.880 that looked inebriated.

00:53:41.400 He wasn't.

00:53:42.580 Yeah, I'm sure he

00:53:43.120 wasn't.

00:53:43.840 But he looked

00:53:44.520 inebriated.

00:53:46.460 Right?

00:53:47.580 It's going to be

00:53:48.300 really easy to make

00:53:49.180 people look just a

00:53:50.500 little bit off.

00:53:51.940 Just, just 5%.

00:53:53.760 Somebody's going to

00:53:55.560 make an AI that

00:53:57.300 tweaks real video just

00:53:59.480 5%.

00:54:00.520 And it's going to be

00:54:02.460 devastating.

00:54:03.800 Because people are

00:54:04.520 going to look at it

00:54:05.240 and they're going to

00:54:06.160 compare it to the real

00:54:06.960 one and they won't

00:54:07.520 even know the

00:54:07.940 difference.

00:54:08.860 Won't even know the

00:54:09.660 difference.

00:54:10.580 And the fact checkers

00:54:12.040 will say, oh yeah,

00:54:12.640 that's the real one.

00:54:13.540 That looks real.

00:54:14.940 But just like a little

00:54:16.080 bit of difference.

00:54:17.360 That's all it would

00:54:17.960 take to make him look

00:54:18.640 crazy.

00:54:18.960 So, but to be, to be

00:54:21.700 clear, I don't think

00:54:23.100 he's crazy. 0.56

00:54:23.760 I don't think he was

00:54:24.400 inebriated.

00:54:25.600 I think he was

00:54:26.440 probably just an

00:54:27.000 awkward face looking

00:54:27.940 thing.

00:54:29.420 But he does have a

00:54:30.460 little bit of a

00:54:31.140 personality gap compared

00:54:33.660 to a lot of people.

00:54:39.460 All right.

00:54:45.640 In India, they love to 1.00

00:54:47.020 move their head side

00:54:47.820 to side, somebody says.

00:54:49.300 Okay.

00:54:49.660 Well, I don't know if

00:54:50.200 it was the side to

00:54:50.920 side thing.

00:54:51.380 It was more the eyes.

00:54:54.720 Talk about how Trump

00:54:55.880 mocked Kasich's table

00:54:58.040 manners recently.

00:55:00.240 I don't know anything

00:55:01.040 about that.

00:55:03.140 Yeah.

00:55:03.980 Yeah.

00:55:04.480 Count the number of

00:55:05.260 fingers.

00:55:07.020 You know, maybe there

00:55:07.780 should be a law that

00:55:10.020 all AI generated people

00:55:11.940 have to have the wrong

00:55:12.740 number of fingers.

00:55:14.860 How about that?

00:55:15.700 All AI generated humans

00:55:18.520 have to have six fingers

00:55:19.580 because that's the only

00:55:20.900 way you'd know.

00:55:22.240 So you'd be watching

00:55:23.000 movies and it'd be like,

00:55:25.420 oh, there's a famous

00:55:26.920 actor or actress, but they

00:55:28.080 have six fingers.

00:55:29.300 Oh, I get it.

00:55:30.080 It's AI.

00:55:33.880 All right.

00:55:34.480 Ladies and gentlemen,

00:55:37.200 you know people with six

00:55:38.400 fingers?

00:55:38.680 I used to play with the

00:55:43.840 farm cats at my uncle's

00:55:46.120 farm.

00:55:46.900 So I used to work, when I

00:55:48.320 was a kid, working at my

00:55:49.200 uncle's farm.

00:55:50.620 And he had all these cats

00:55:52.860 that sort of lived in the

00:55:53.900 hay.

00:55:54.800 And they weren't

00:55:55.780 domesticated.

00:55:57.480 He would feed them, but

00:55:58.940 you know, you couldn't pet

00:55:59.860 them or anything.

00:56:01.020 And because they were all

00:56:02.660 crossbreeding, you know, a

00:56:04.260 lot of inter-family

00:56:07.060 breeding, they all had a

00:56:08.980 weird number of toes.

00:56:11.260 So there'd be like, you

00:56:12.700 know, 50 cats would come

00:56:14.220 out if you put a little,

00:56:15.360 you know, milk down.

00:56:17.060 And you start counting the

00:56:18.620 toes.

00:56:19.540 It'd be like, you know, six

00:56:20.540 on this paw, seven on this

00:56:21.980 paw.

00:56:22.740 It was the damnedest thing.

00:56:23.840 It was whole.

00:56:24.600 It was like mutant cats,

00:56:25.960 but there were like lots of

00:56:26.900 them.

00:56:28.000 Yeah, they were mousers.

00:56:29.880 Cows don't like mice. 1.00

00:56:33.600 So I don't know how common

00:56:36.320 this was, but dairy farms

00:56:38.100 will often tolerate, if not

00:56:40.480 feed, stray cats.

00:56:42.820 Because the cats get rid of

00:56:44.000 the mice, and the cows will

00:56:47.060 give better milk.

00:56:48.880 I guess they freeze up and

00:56:49.980 they don't give milk as well

00:56:51.040 if they're frightened of

00:56:53.000 mice.

00:56:53.980 I don't know if that's true.

00:56:55.740 That's just what I heard

00:56:56.560 when I was a kid.

00:57:00.860 All right.

00:57:03.420 Hemingway cats have six

00:57:04.540 toes.

00:57:04.780 All right.

00:57:11.140 Cows are afraid of mice? 1.00

00:57:12.340 I think they are, actually.

00:57:15.240 I think that's true.

00:57:17.120 Does anybody have a dairy

00:57:18.460 farm?

00:57:19.380 Any dairy farmers here?

00:57:20.920 Can you confirm that?

00:57:22.900 Can you confirm that cows

00:57:24.440 don't like mice?

00:57:27.660 Somebody says, not true.

00:57:29.060 Well, I know they don't like

00:57:30.240 them, but are they afraid of

00:57:32.560 them?

00:57:35.880 They say that about elephants,

00:57:37.380 but I never knew if that was

00:57:38.260 true.

00:57:41.720 You grew up on a dairy farm?

00:57:43.140 Well, what's the answer?

00:57:48.160 Let's see.

00:57:48.660 The betting markets have

00:57:50.160 Biden over Trump by 10 points.

00:57:52.000 Well, that makes sense at this

00:57:54.500 point in the cycle.

00:57:57.200 I think when people think that

00:57:58.620 Biden's going to win, it's

00:57:59.880 because they assume that the

00:58:00.900 election is rigged.

00:58:03.520 What do you assume?

00:58:05.500 We don't know.

00:58:07.800 Give me your assumptions.

00:58:09.160 Do you think the next

00:58:09.920 presidential election will be

00:58:11.720 rigged or attempted to be

00:58:13.760 rigged?

00:58:14.100 I think so.

00:58:17.160 I think so.

00:58:18.520 Yep.

00:58:19.360 I would say, based on what

00:58:20.700 we've seen, the smart money

00:58:23.660 says that there will be an

00:58:25.060 attempt to rig it.

00:58:28.520 Now, the extent of that and the

00:58:30.880 success of that would be wildly

00:58:33.340 variable.

00:58:34.920 But I'd say yes.

00:58:36.200 My working assumption is that

00:58:37.740 our elections are corrupt.

00:58:40.740 That's my working assumption.

00:58:42.060 But it's not based on any

00:58:44.800 specific charge against any

00:58:46.160 specific entity.

00:58:47.760 It's just everything I've seen

00:58:49.300 would suggest the world I live

00:58:51.480 in, if it's possible, and it is,

00:58:56.340 if it's possible, somebody's

00:59:00.500 going to try to do it.

00:59:03.980 Rigged is loser think?

00:59:05.320 No, it isn't.

00:59:07.600 It would be loser think if I said

00:59:09.280 I know it's true.

00:59:10.040 But it's just a working

00:59:11.740 assumption.

00:59:16.280 All right.

00:59:17.680 I mean, if the government wanted

00:59:19.040 to change my assumption, how

00:59:20.420 hard would it be?

00:59:22.100 Not hard.

00:59:23.640 They would just have to say all

00:59:25.120 of our technology and all of our

00:59:27.600 elections are completely

00:59:29.040 transparent.

00:59:30.600 And that's not the case.

00:59:32.040 If you have an election that's

00:59:34.040 non-transparent in any important

00:59:36.380 part, you have to assume it's

00:59:38.180 rigged.

00:59:38.480 Just assume it is.

00:59:42.600 All right.

00:59:48.120 There are more votes than

00:59:49.300 registered voters.

00:59:50.440 I don't know if that's true.

00:59:52.540 That's one of the things I've

00:59:53.720 heard.

00:59:55.780 All right.

00:59:56.280 Here's a mind blower for you.

00:59:58.480 So I've got a friend who shall

00:59:59.960 remain nameless on Twitter who

01:00:02.440 makes the following claim, right?

01:00:05.960 The claim is that saying that

01:00:09.720 Fauci-funded gain of research in

01:00:13.400 Wuhan is fake news, even 0.92

01:00:17.060 understanding that it could have

01:00:18.680 gone through, you know, a third

01:00:20.880 party entity before it got to

01:00:22.360 Wuhan, that that didn't happen.

01:00:24.880 And that that's the rights version

01:00:27.080 of the fine people hoax, that

01:00:29.440 there's actually no, no evidence

01:00:31.860 that Fauci was involved with

01:00:34.280 funding anything that caused

01:00:36.780 money for a gain of function to

01:00:38.440 get to Wuhan.

01:00:40.420 Now, what do you think about the

01:00:41.920 fact that somebody who watches the

01:00:44.040 news on both the left and the

01:00:45.780 right, because this is somebody who

01:00:47.740 watches both sides, says that it did

01:00:50.680 not happen, it's fake news, and that

01:00:52.840 the entire political right has

01:00:56.460 bought into a narrative for which

01:00:57.940 there's no evidence?

01:01:00.820 I thought it was documented.

01:01:04.280 So I did a little check in the

01:01:08.000 news.

01:01:08.680 I didn't see it debunked.

01:01:11.400 What I saw was a number of stories

01:01:13.160 that he was involved with the

01:01:15.640 approval of funding, was it

01:01:17.820 Ecolab or somebody, who then

01:01:20.040 funded the labs, and do we not

01:01:23.200 know that they were doing gain of

01:01:24.520 function?

01:01:27.340 Yeah.

01:01:28.000 To me, I thought that was proven.

01:01:30.760 But it's sort of a mind-bender.

01:01:33.320 So I sent my friend, you know, an

01:01:36.120 article from the New York Post that

01:01:38.400 connects all the dots.

01:01:39.420 I haven't heard back.

01:01:40.160 Well, actually, let me check.

01:01:41.780 Let me see if an article that

01:01:43.220 clearly says he did it will change

01:01:46.240 his mind.

01:01:46.920 I don't have a response yet.

01:01:55.160 But the title of it is from the New

01:01:56.960 York Post.

01:01:57.980 NIH admits U.S.-funded gain of

01:02:00.040 function in Wuhan despite Fauci's

01:02:02.920 denial.

01:02:04.020 That's the headline.

01:02:04.800 Do you think the article doesn't

01:02:07.720 establish it?

01:02:10.260 Yeah.

01:02:11.360 It's kind of weird.

01:02:12.220 All right.

01:02:15.800 Yeah, I thought it was completely

01:02:17.240 established.

01:02:18.160 I didn't even know there was a

01:02:19.080 question about it anymore.

01:02:20.680 But the question of whether it was

01:02:23.200 illegal or even unethical, I'm still

01:02:28.980 open to hear a debate on that.

01:02:31.700 Because I don't think it was crazy that

01:02:34.140 we did gain of research, gain of

01:02:38.220 function research.

01:02:39.060 Do you?

01:02:39.300 How many think it was crazy to do

01:02:42.660 that?

01:02:45.860 It turned out bad.

01:02:47.840 But I'm guessing we're still doing it

01:02:50.340 somewhere.

01:02:52.520 Yeah.

01:02:52.880 I think it was a calculated risk that

01:02:56.280 we took and it didn't work out.

01:03:03.780 All right.

01:03:06.940 See John Campbell on this.

01:03:09.300 All right.

01:03:12.580 That's all for now.

01:03:13.860 YouTube, I'm going to say bye.

01:03:15.120 See you in the morning.
