Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2107 Scott Adams： Noonan And The Return Of Trump, AI Admits Bias, Hero Marine Update, More!

00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:03.140 Rup-a-ba-ba-po.

00:00:05.800 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization.

00:00:10.940 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:13.100 There's never been a better time.

00:00:14.940 And you're lucky enough to be part of it,

00:00:17.260 even if you're watching this in a recorded fashion.

00:00:20.720 Yes, you are part of the great, great thing that some people call a cult,

00:00:25.220 but I think they're crazy.

00:00:27.040 I think they're in a cult.

00:00:28.220 No, we're the good ones.

00:00:30.940 And if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that,

00:00:35.100 as President Trump would probably say,

00:00:37.780 we've never experienced before.

00:00:40.560 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:42.520 a tank or chalice or sign, a canteen jug or flask,

00:00:45.480 a vessel of any kind.

00:00:47.380 Filling with your favorite liquid, I like coffee.

00:00:50.480 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:53.620 the thing that makes you and everything about you better.

00:00:56.600 Remember, it's called the simultaneous sip.

00:01:00.020 It happens now.

00:01:01.080 Go.

00:01:01.300 Well, I just saw a tweet from Trump on truth,

00:01:14.720 or not a tweet, a truth, a truth on truth,

00:01:17.820 that he's going to do an Iowa rally.

00:01:20.560 I don't know if that's tonight,

00:01:21.940 but he says that Fox News just called and said they're going to carry the entire rally.

00:01:26.300 Or, as Trump says, they're trying to get in on the good ratings.

00:01:31.880 Hmm.

00:01:32.800 What do you think?

00:01:34.620 Do you think the CNN event made Fox have to be more Trump-supportive in their coverage,

00:01:43.520 just because the ratings are clearly there?

00:01:47.360 I mean, there's no doubt about the ratings.

00:01:49.140 Yeah, I think so.

00:01:53.840 I think so.

00:01:55.000 We'll talk more about him in a minute.

00:01:56.580 But first, I wanted to give you a preview of what a spicier Dilbert comic looks like,

00:02:03.700 based on today.

00:02:06.420 All right, so here's today's.

00:02:07.920 This will give you sort of a good idea.

00:02:10.840 If anybody is considering subscribing so they can see the spicier version,

00:02:17.600 you might ask yourself, how much spicier is it?

00:02:21.520 Is it offensive?

00:02:22.980 Well, I'll give you an example.

00:02:24.960 Here's Wally talking to the boss.

00:02:28.020 And Wally says, I need to take time off from work.

00:02:30.640 And the boss says, why?

00:02:32.200 And Wally says, TikTok persuaded me to remove my testicles and live as a woman.

00:02:37.160 And the boss says, TikTok isn't that powerful.

00:02:41.480 And Wally says, that's what I thought, too.

00:02:43.860 Now I'm shopping for hedge clippers and summer dresses.

00:02:48.280 So that's what we're dealing with today.

00:02:52.180 Now, the reason that I can do this publicly,

00:02:55.680 I mean, it's public in the sense that I just read it to you on YouTube and locals,

00:03:00.140 but I would never be able to publish that in a newspaper.

00:03:03.960 Do you know why?

00:03:04.600 Because if it were in a newspaper, people would complain that I'm making fun of trans people.

00:03:13.780 Did I make fun of trans people?

00:03:16.020 Does that comic make fun of any group?

00:03:18.900 Absolutely not.

00:03:20.120 I'm pro-trans.

00:03:21.460 No, but I want to be able to talk about any topic.

00:03:25.360 I don't want any topic to be out of bounds.

00:03:27.780 As long as I can, you know, deal with the topic in just a silly way,

00:03:32.720 I'm not trying to target anybody.

00:03:34.720 And I generally don't.

00:03:36.280 You know, if anybody ever seems targeted by a Dilbert comic,

00:03:40.140 you're probably wrong, unless you're management or you're somebody in power.

00:03:44.360 And then I probably am targeting you.

00:03:46.240 But that's fair.

00:03:47.440 So that's what you're missing.

00:03:48.540 Eventually, I might put Dilbert only on Twitter subscription,

00:03:55.080 but so far I haven't figured out how to do that.

00:03:57.820 By the way, I'll get to that.

00:04:02.320 I have another topic I'd get to.

00:04:06.400 How much do you wish we were Finland?

00:04:11.280 Wherever you are, you're probably not in Finland, whatever country you are.

00:04:14.420 Have you been following the Finnish experience?

00:04:19.780 So it turns out they had this 34-year-old, well, when she was elected,

00:04:23.540 she was 34, prime minister.

00:04:27.400 And she's married, but attractive.

00:04:32.600 And although she's been voted out, she's still in office.

00:04:36.040 I guess she just lost a narrow election.

00:04:38.560 But she's still in office for a while.

00:04:39.880 And she was caught grinding with some guy in a club who was not her husband.

00:04:49.560 That's right.

00:04:50.560 She was getting funky with a guy in a club who was not her husband.

00:04:54.180 Now, she just announced her divorce.

00:04:57.180 Came out after that.

00:04:58.620 So she's getting divorced.

00:05:01.560 So her marriage is finished.

00:05:04.960 And she lost the election.

00:05:09.360 So her job is finished.

00:05:13.140 And she's finished.

00:05:15.220 It's really everything's finished up there.

00:05:17.100 It's all finished.

00:05:18.600 That's my only joke.

00:05:19.920 Sorry.

00:05:20.740 I just had to share that.

00:05:22.180 But isn't that more fun than what we're doing in at least this country?

00:05:27.020 I don't know what countries are represented by my viewers at the moment,

00:05:30.740 but we don't have anything that fun happening here.

00:05:34.960 Wouldn't you love to know your president was grinding on somebody at a club?

00:05:41.080 And I keep thinking of whoever it was that she presumably met at the club.

00:05:46.680 Probably wasn't a boyfriend or anything.

00:05:48.520 But imagine you go to a club,

00:05:51.660 and the next thing you know, you're getting a hummer from the prime minister.

00:05:56.420 Like, how do you explain that to your friends?

00:05:59.240 How was your weekend?

00:06:01.000 Well, you're not going to believe this.

00:06:03.880 Yeah, try me.

00:06:07.300 Try me.

00:06:10.080 I don't know.

00:06:10.920 Just they're having more fun up there than we are.

00:06:15.300 I'd like to mention this every now and then as a public service announcement.

00:06:21.860 You know that as you get older, you have to actively protect your brain, right?

00:06:26.480 If you just let your brain go into retirement, you're going to have dementia.

00:06:32.180 It's not going to be good.

00:06:33.680 And we know a bunch of stuff that keeps your brain functioning as long as it can.

00:06:40.900 One of those things is exercise.

00:06:43.160 You knew that, right?

00:06:44.500 Exercise is one of those really, really good things for keeping your brain functioning.

00:06:49.680 So, make sure you're active.

00:06:51.760 Another one that I read about the other day is hand-eye coordination.

00:06:57.300 It turns out that hand-eye coordination, such as playing, let's say, a racket sport, ping pong, or anything like that,

00:07:04.600 apparently it lives in the same part of the brain as your thinking part.

00:07:12.080 So, if you get your physical coordination, if you keep that up as you're getting older,

00:07:16.680 that keeps the thinking part of your brain active as well because they share some space.

00:07:21.800 That was the theory I saw the other day.

00:07:23.500 Now, there's a new study that showed that people who learned music and learned to play an instrument as seniors

00:07:34.080 but had never had any musical experience before so they could isolate it,

00:07:39.460 they found it was substantial in protecting your...

00:07:43.920 It doesn't increase your brain, but it keeps you from losing brain capacity.

00:07:50.280 So, you might know that that's what I've been doing.

00:07:52.640 So, that was actually my retirement strategy, is I learned to play the drums

00:07:57.320 because it's physical coordination as well as extreme mental, let's say, mental challenge

00:08:03.780 if you're not musical at all, and I'm not.

00:08:06.480 And now I'm learning the guitar, not because I think I'll be some good guitar player,

00:08:11.820 playing a band or something, but because it's hard.

00:08:15.400 Because it's hard.

00:08:17.120 And so, every day I do things that my brain doesn't want me to do because it's hard,

00:08:21.080 but I kind of like it because it's fun.

00:08:23.700 And I exercise every day.

00:08:26.020 And I do this every day.

00:08:27.860 So, I very consciously am planning my life.

00:08:33.220 And around in my mid-50s is when I made the transition.

00:08:36.940 I also transitioned from contact sports and heavy, you know, let's say, distance running and stuff

00:08:46.120 to walking and lighter weights.

00:08:50.660 And the thing is, I'm protecting my knees and also keeping my physical weight down

00:08:55.800 so that my knees are not impacted.

00:08:57.760 Because it turns out that mobility is probably the number one predictor of longevity.

00:09:04.820 The longer you can take a brisk walk, the longer you're going to live.

00:09:10.100 So, protect your knees and your weight.

00:09:12.600 Your weight is the biggest factor on your knees.

00:09:15.620 So, those are just some aging strategies.

00:09:18.480 It won't be important to a lot of you until you reach your 50s or so,

00:09:21.900 but it's the whole game.

00:09:23.900 I mean, if you worked, if you're like me, for most of my career, I worked seven days a week.

00:09:29.920 I mean, seriously, seven days a week.

00:09:32.020 I worked every holiday, you know, at least before other people woke up.

00:09:37.480 And I always planned that I would enjoy my life, you know, after my senior years.

00:09:46.380 And so, my whole plan, even as a youth, was to prepare myself to have more free time

00:09:52.880 when I'm my current age.

00:09:55.000 Now, none of that worked out.

00:09:56.680 I'm working harder than I've ever worked.

00:09:59.620 But that's only because I had a little upheaval in my situation that you might have heard of.

00:10:05.020 But after that's over, I'm hoping to settle into some challenging, but...

00:10:11.160 All right, too much about me.

00:10:13.180 Let's talk about somebody else.

00:10:16.380 Now, there's a service that I want so badly, I don't know how to sign up for it yet.

00:10:23.760 I guess I'll figure that out.

00:10:25.560 It uses an auto-chat AI to cancel services for you that you don't want to be on chatting

00:10:34.380 and canceling on your own.

00:10:36.400 Now, I don't quite know how to hook that AI into my service provider's situation

00:10:42.940 so that they're talking, but I saw an example of it.

00:10:46.160 There was somebody who used it to cancel the subscription to the New York Times.

00:10:50.580 Now, as you know, and I've talked about this at length,

00:10:54.020 the big companies make it as hard as possible,

00:10:57.120 and they do everything to discourage you from finding out how to cancel.

00:11:01.940 They just make it hard.

00:11:02.780 And they have, like, 25 different tricks I've been compiling for how they do it.

00:11:09.000 So I was trying to cancel my Xfinity...

00:11:13.480 Well, no, I tried to cancel my Xfinity TV.

00:11:17.540 But then, separately, yesterday I tried to get help

00:11:21.180 because there's a connection problem.

00:11:23.920 The physical wires to my house for the Internet are not actually crimped.

00:11:28.500 They're just stuck together.

00:11:29.620 So it looks like there may be some jitter in there.

00:11:33.100 So I wanted to get a technician to come and actually crimp the thing

00:11:36.840 so that I have a solid connection to the Internet

00:11:38.760 because I keep losing connection.

00:11:41.140 And do you know how hard it was to communicate to Xfinity

00:11:45.040 that I needed a human being to come look at a physical connection

00:11:49.160 which I had identified as clearly a problem?

00:11:52.660 Wow.

00:11:53.140 So first they give you the AI chatbot that may not be AI.

00:11:59.480 I don't know how smart it is.

00:12:00.860 But it does not give you any option for talking to a person

00:12:04.980 or for calling a technician.

00:12:08.680 It just gives you options that have nothing to do with anything.

00:12:12.680 And the other one is you're texting with it

00:12:14.940 and it tells you to reboot your system.

00:12:18.780 Now, I don't need to reboot my system.

00:12:20.740 I've done that many times, but there's no option for me to say

00:12:24.200 I have rebooted my system 500 times.

00:12:27.420 I can assure you that this will not help.

00:12:30.020 I've literally located a wire that's not connected.

00:12:34.480 Pretty sure that's at least part of my problem

00:12:37.240 or could be later, so we've got to take care of it.

00:12:40.180 So I had to actually figure out how to hack my way through the bot

00:12:45.980 to get to a human bot.

00:12:48.820 The human was not much better than the bot,

00:12:52.600 but I hacked it and insulted it and bullied it

00:12:56.760 until it finally gave me an option I needed

00:12:58.500 to get out of talking to the robot.

00:13:01.700 Then the human comes on.

00:13:04.040 Oh, my God.

00:13:05.620 And then they go into the...

00:13:08.220 So the human says, you know, what's your name?

00:13:11.600 And I'm thinking, well, you know, they already have my phone number.

00:13:14.320 And I signed in through my account to chat with them.

00:13:20.580 They know who I am.

00:13:22.440 But I'm like, all right, I'll give you my name just in case.

00:13:26.980 And then they, because I finally got them to agree

00:13:29.940 that we would do service,

00:13:31.840 he asked me for my address.

00:13:34.680 Fair enough, right?

00:13:35.900 Now, again, my address is part of their records.

00:13:38.460 He could have said, are you on this address?

00:13:42.640 And then I should have just said yes.

00:13:44.540 But he made me actually give him an address.

00:13:47.880 And then he says, what's the cross street?

00:13:51.360 Now, keep in mind that it's a chat,

00:13:53.240 and they're chatting with other people.

00:13:54.980 So to get a response, you've got to wait a while, right?

00:13:58.240 And they're trying to make you give up,

00:13:59.980 because it's going to take all day.

00:14:01.740 Every response, you have to wait a while for a response.

00:14:04.280 So, yeah, just stalling to discourage you.

00:14:08.180 They go, what's your cross street?

00:14:10.140 And I'm thinking to myself, seriously,

00:14:12.960 they're going to send a technician

00:14:14.720 who can't find my street in 2023,

00:14:18.980 can't find my address, without a cross street.

00:14:22.780 Who needs a cross street?

00:14:26.940 And then the next question was,

00:14:29.740 are there any, what do they call it,

00:14:32.700 like, not landscape,

00:14:34.900 but are there any features,

00:14:37.740 are there any natural features or something

00:14:40.000 that they could use to know that they're near your house?

00:14:44.180 Like, what do they call it?

00:14:45.760 Not landmarks.

00:14:47.960 Are there any landmarks?

00:14:49.900 They actually asked me

00:14:51.120 if there were any landmarks

00:14:52.960 that would help them identify my house.

00:14:55.940 Again, they're going to send a technician,

00:14:58.680 a technician,

00:15:00.260 a technical person,

00:15:01.280 who apparently doesn't own a smartphone with GPS.

00:15:06.720 What else am I supposed to assume?

00:15:08.980 Now, are any of those questions

00:15:10.720 for any reason other than to discourage me?

00:15:13.520 They're not, right?

00:15:15.300 There's no reason for any of those questions.

00:15:18.100 They're all just to discourage me, aren't they?

00:15:21.300 They don't need a landmark to find my house.

00:15:24.280 They don't need a cross street to find my house.

00:15:26.840 It's 2023.

00:15:29.860 And so then eventually,

00:15:32.000 the human gets to the point where he says,

00:15:34.600 all right, I've got everything,

00:15:36.400 and so now what you'll expect

00:15:38.600 is you'll get a call

00:15:40.580 before the technician comes out.

00:15:45.120 And I said,

00:15:46.980 why will I get a call?

00:15:49.420 You're the call.

00:15:50.880 You have everything I need.

00:15:52.440 I just need him to show up,

00:15:53.880 and you tell me when.

00:15:55.620 Yes, but we have to call first.

00:15:58.660 And I said,

00:15:59.220 what would be the function of that call?

00:16:01.640 What will that call learn

00:16:03.260 that you don't already know?

00:16:05.680 Well, he might ask, you know,

00:16:07.660 confirmation of how to get to your house.

00:16:09.660 Yes.

00:16:14.040 What?

00:16:17.040 And then he said,

00:16:18.600 he's the only one who can make the trouble ticket.

00:16:22.700 And I said,

00:16:23.700 what did you just do?

00:16:25.420 I thought you were the trouble ticket.

00:16:28.300 He said, no, that's our process.

00:16:30.560 So basically I said,

00:16:32.540 the entire point of my phone,

00:16:34.940 or my conversation with you,

00:16:36.680 was the entire point of that,

00:16:38.080 so that you would just refer me

00:16:39.780 to someone who would ask

00:16:40.600 exactly the same questions.

00:16:42.440 And then he started getting pissed off at me.

00:16:46.300 But I said,

00:16:47.200 but what will be the extra thing

00:16:49.120 that this new phone call will give us

00:16:51.280 that the conversation you and I are having

00:16:54.320 wouldn't give me?

00:16:55.580 What is the extra value of that?

00:16:57.600 Why can't you just send the guy?

00:16:59.860 He's like, oh, no.

00:17:01.860 So finally I bullied him

00:17:04.900 into agreeing that they don't need a second call.

00:17:08.080 But he told me that

00:17:09.420 that would make it very hard

00:17:10.600 for them to find the house.

00:17:13.020 Or something.

00:17:14.360 He had some little gripe.

00:17:15.880 I can't remember what it was.

00:17:17.440 And I was telling him,

00:17:18.600 I'm happy to have the call,

00:17:19.760 you just have to tell me why.

00:17:21.820 I wasn't objecting to a call.

00:17:24.680 I was objecting to not knowing

00:17:26.300 why the call was necessary.

00:17:27.980 But instead he got mad at me.

00:17:30.440 And he said that

00:17:31.280 they always call before they come,

00:17:33.280 but I'll tell him not to call

00:17:34.660 before he comes.

00:17:35.460 And I said, wait a minute,

00:17:36.960 that's a whole different story.

00:17:38.480 I want them to call before they come.

00:17:41.180 I don't want them to call

00:17:42.240 to ask me the same questions

00:17:43.380 you just asked me.

00:17:44.700 Can you assure me

00:17:45.500 that that's not going to happen?

00:17:47.160 We'll just tell him not to call.

00:17:50.520 And then I get an email

00:17:51.680 after I'm done

00:17:52.480 that the equipment

00:17:54.720 is ordered and on the way.

00:17:59.400 What equipment?

00:18:00.140 I asked a guy to come in

00:18:03.220 and check an external cable

00:18:05.320 to my house.

00:18:07.060 And yesterday,

00:18:07.880 a new modem showed up.

00:18:09.800 They mailed me a modem.

00:18:11.800 After all of that,

00:18:13.360 and by the way,

00:18:14.060 I have a brand new modem,

00:18:16.260 which I think they know.

00:18:18.380 Because they have my records.

00:18:21.540 So, anyway,

00:18:23.400 this is all my way of saying

00:18:24.880 that this new service

00:18:26.080 called,

00:18:27.520 and I'm not recommending it,

00:18:28.780 I'm just telling you

00:18:29.460 I saw a tweet about it.

00:18:30.520 So, I don't know

00:18:31.080 if it works or anything.

00:18:33.180 But it's called

00:18:33.880 Do Not Pay.

00:18:35.980 And somehow,

00:18:36.780 the Do Not Pay guy,

00:18:37.920 Joshua Browder,

00:18:39.340 hooked it up to GPT-4

00:18:41.000 and actually showed

00:18:42.280 a demonstration of his bot

00:18:43.820 having a long conversation

00:18:45.700 with the New York Times bot

00:18:47.180 or person.

00:18:48.280 I don't know.

00:18:49.240 And it wouldn't give up.

00:18:52.000 So, the thing that the AI does

00:18:56.280 that a human can't do,

00:18:57.620 it'll never give up.

00:18:58.780 How beautiful is that?

00:19:02.680 The entire service industry

00:19:05.100 is built around

00:19:05.840 making you give up.

00:19:07.140 Very clearly,

00:19:08.420 it's meant to make you give up.

00:19:10.280 But the bots don't give up.

00:19:12.520 So, if you get a bot,

00:19:13.580 you can just bug the living shit

00:19:15.100 out of the New York Times

00:19:16.120 and they will just have to take it

00:19:17.880 for as long as it takes

00:19:19.640 until they cancel the subscription.

00:19:22.680 Now, how much do you want

00:19:23.580 that product?

00:19:24.080 I don't know how to get it exactly.

00:19:28.080 I mean, I can look into it.

00:19:29.700 But, oh man, do I want that.

00:19:33.400 All right, here's a question for kids

00:19:35.120 that I believe would change

00:19:38.780 their entire lives.

00:19:40.460 The trouble with teaching kids

00:19:42.800 how to be good adults

00:19:43.720 is that they're not ready.

00:19:45.720 Right?

00:19:45.880 Their brains aren't really ready

00:19:47.200 to get any kind of nuance

00:19:49.380 or understand the arc of history

00:19:52.000 or any of that.

00:19:53.920 So, I came up with an idea

00:19:56.300 that would be the simplest way

00:19:58.680 to describe to a kid

00:20:00.540 the most basic element of success.

00:20:04.460 And it would go like this.

00:20:05.920 Who tends to do better in life?

00:20:11.280 People who see themselves as victims

00:20:13.360 or people who see all obstacles

00:20:16.460 as something they can overcome.

00:20:19.480 And then you're done.

00:20:21.620 And then you walk away.

00:20:23.420 You might need to repeat it.

00:20:25.460 But I believe that is the single message

00:20:27.860 that would make somebody be successful.

00:20:31.660 If you could get that

00:20:33.280 into somebody's head as a child,

00:20:35.100 that you might have had a bad day,

00:20:38.400 but that doesn't make you a victim.

00:20:40.960 Right?

00:20:41.400 You're somebody who overcomes any challenge.

00:20:44.280 That's who you are.

00:20:45.920 You're not a person

00:20:46.700 who is thwarted by victimhood.

00:20:49.080 You are a person who sees challenges

00:20:50.980 as obstacles and then overcomes them.

00:20:54.420 Now, that's something

00:20:55.500 that a kid could understand pretty easily.

00:20:58.200 Maybe not on day one,

00:21:00.000 you know, depending on the age.

00:21:01.840 But if you got one thing into their head,

00:21:04.580 just one thing and it was that,

00:21:07.860 you'd be in good shape.

00:21:09.680 Because everybody who doesn't act

00:21:11.600 on their own benefit

00:21:12.500 is because they think it's not going to work.

00:21:16.000 The reason you don't do stuff

00:21:17.400 is you think it's not going to work.

00:21:19.100 So you just tell them

00:21:19.820 they're not the person who is a victim,

00:21:22.040 the person that they figured out.

00:21:23.920 You do make it work.

00:21:25.180 That's who you are.

00:21:26.760 You're a human and you do that.

00:21:28.420 So that would be my suggestion.

00:21:31.960 So community notes,

00:21:33.580 which I was very up on,

00:21:35.200 on Twitter,

00:21:36.060 because it's fact-checking people

00:21:37.780 and it's pretty brutal.

00:21:40.340 But it's good fact-checks.

00:21:43.000 The problem with the model

00:21:44.560 is that it has a variety

00:21:46.500 of left-leaning and right-leaning people

00:21:49.240 who contribute to the community notes.

00:21:51.040 And their model requires

00:21:53.040 that no note gets published

00:21:54.780 unless it gets enough support

00:21:57.100 by the note people.

00:21:59.880 And here's an example

00:22:00.960 of one that did not get enough support.

00:22:04.000 So there's no community note on this.

00:22:06.540 Biden tweeted,

00:22:09.020 this is his entire tweet,

00:22:11.260 there were not fine people

00:22:12.720 on both sides of Charlottesville.

00:22:15.540 And then the second part,

00:22:16.880 the January 6th rioters

00:22:18.720 were not good people.

00:22:21.040 Now, both of those

00:22:24.120 are easily fact-checked,

00:22:26.080 meaning that the both sides,

00:22:27.920 the fine people thing

00:22:28.840 was just a bad edit.

00:22:31.480 They took out of context

00:22:32.800 where Trump said,

00:22:34.540 I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis

00:22:36.340 and the white nationalists.

00:22:37.820 They should be condemned totally.

00:22:39.800 So that's easy to fact-check.

00:22:42.040 There's nothing easier

00:22:43.220 to fact-check than that

00:22:44.500 because you just show the video.

00:22:47.300 Just a link to the video.

00:22:48.560 And the community notes people

00:22:51.140 could not agree on that.

00:22:53.960 Think about that.

00:22:55.520 They couldn't agree on that.

00:22:57.780 And the video is just right there.

00:22:59.980 His actual words

00:23:01.160 where he says exactly

00:23:03.200 that they're not fine people.

00:23:05.600 And it happened within seconds

00:23:07.180 of his original comment,

00:23:08.920 so you know it wasn't even prompted

00:23:10.240 by any external force.

00:23:11.680 It was clearly him

00:23:13.120 just trying to communicate clearly.

00:23:16.620 And then the second one,

00:23:17.880 the January 6th rioters

00:23:19.060 were not good people.

00:23:21.260 What do you mean by that?

00:23:23.240 Every one of them?

00:23:25.180 Are you telling me

00:23:26.000 that every person

00:23:26.800 who attended the protest

00:23:27.940 was not a good person?

00:23:29.800 Well, fuck you, President Biden,

00:23:32.520 because that's not how it works.

00:23:34.280 You're the president

00:23:35.160 of all those people.

00:23:36.920 You're their leader.

00:23:38.740 You're supposed to be

00:23:39.460 on their side,

00:23:40.260 not against them.

00:23:41.320 The ones who broke laws,

00:23:42.820 yeah, we all agree on that.

00:23:44.980 If they broke laws,

00:23:46.460 like, you know,

00:23:47.020 violent laws

00:23:47.700 where they hurt somebody,

00:23:48.840 I'm not talking about trespassing,

00:23:50.320 that was bullshit.

00:23:51.540 But if they broke a real law,

00:23:53.760 you know,

00:23:53.980 where there's actual danger

00:23:55.300 and destruction,

00:23:57.740 well, yeah,

00:23:58.440 everybody's on the same side

00:23:59.620 on that.

00:24:00.420 But do you think

00:24:01.260 that that's a way

00:24:01.900 to characterize

00:24:02.740 the January 6th rioters?

00:24:05.660 Were they rioters

00:24:07.240 or were they protesters?

00:24:09.380 How does Joe Biden

00:24:10.200 know what they were thinking?

00:24:12.760 All right.

00:24:13.280 Now,

00:24:14.140 these are really simple ones

00:24:16.280 to fact check.

00:24:18.180 Really simple.

00:24:20.720 But they can't get it done.

00:24:23.380 Because as long as it takes,

00:24:24.680 you know,

00:24:25.080 enough votes

00:24:25.720 from left-leaning people,

00:24:27.120 they'll just say no

00:24:27.920 because their narrative

00:24:29.120 is too threatened by it.

00:24:32.040 All right.

00:24:33.120 Presumably, that's why.

00:24:35.660 All right.

00:24:41.280 So did you see the video

00:24:42.680 of there were some

00:24:43.580 black protesters,

00:24:45.780 activists in Chicago

00:24:47.700 who were protesting

00:24:49.460 the arrival

00:24:51.240 of all the immigrants?

00:24:54.160 And one of them said,

00:24:55.920 quote,

00:24:56.680 politically,

00:24:57.440 having over 500 people

00:24:58.880 in our community,

00:24:59.920 meaning the new immigrants,

00:25:01.560 will completely wipe out

00:25:02.920 any interest we have,

00:25:04.140 we meaning the black people

00:25:06.120 who live in that community.

00:25:08.160 Now,

00:25:09.600 yeah,

00:25:11.040 I know you're laughing.

00:25:15.260 So I tweeted

00:25:17.500 that they were

00:25:18.100 future Republicans

00:25:19.140 because they were

00:25:21.220 talking like Republicans.

00:25:23.040 Sort of like,

00:25:23.920 wait a minute,

00:25:25.060 if you move all these people

00:25:26.220 into our neighborhood,

00:25:27.040 that's going to change

00:25:27.660 the nature of the neighborhood.

00:25:29.480 And, you know,

00:25:30.020 basically racist.

00:25:30.980 They were just being

00:25:33.620 super racist.

00:25:34.820 Hold on.

00:25:36.160 If you put a bunch

00:25:36.920 of different people in here,

00:25:38.000 they might have

00:25:38.420 different opinions

00:25:39.080 and that might change

00:25:39.880 our outcomes.

00:25:40.800 Of course it will.

00:25:42.600 It's racist,

00:25:43.660 but it's also true.

00:25:44.880 So I said,

00:25:51.640 when I said,

00:25:52.580 hey,

00:25:52.700 future Republicans,

00:25:53.840 because they're now realizing

00:25:55.320 that you can't just

00:25:56.540 play with these variables

00:25:57.740 without some,

00:25:58.580 you know,

00:25:59.340 some bad elements to it.

00:26:02.760 Other people said,

00:26:03.900 Scott,

00:26:04.300 Scott,

00:26:04.720 Scott,

00:26:05.600 don't you know

00:26:06.360 that they will

00:26:07.620 vote Democrat

00:26:08.920 whether it's

00:26:09.800 for their interests

00:26:10.600 or against their interests?

00:26:11.680 They're just locked in.

00:26:13.440 To which I say,

00:26:14.300 everything's locked in

00:26:17.160 until it isn't.

00:26:19.340 Right?

00:26:19.540 Everything has a breaking point.

00:26:21.620 I don't know

00:26:22.400 if this is the breaking point.

00:26:23.840 I suspect it's not.

00:26:25.480 So I agree

00:26:26.280 with the comment,

00:26:26.980 actually.

00:26:27.660 But there is

00:26:28.440 a breaking point.

00:26:29.940 There will be

00:26:30.700 a breaking point.

00:26:31.640 And I believe

00:26:32.240 that somebody like Trump

00:26:33.360 could break it.

00:26:35.320 I mean,

00:26:35.580 all he'd have to do

00:26:36.280 is say what they're saying.

00:26:38.060 Right?

00:26:38.620 Just mimic

00:26:39.780 what they're saying.

00:26:40.880 They,

00:26:41.040 the black citizens

00:26:43.140 who are complaining

00:26:43.840 about what's happening

00:26:44.700 to their neighborhoods.

00:26:45.980 Just agree with them.

00:26:47.440 Say,

00:26:47.660 yeah,

00:26:48.460 I'm the president

00:26:49.520 of you guys.

00:26:51.400 I'm,

00:26:51.720 I'm not so much

00:26:53.080 the president

00:26:53.580 of people

00:26:54.080 who are not citizens.

00:26:55.680 So I back you.

00:26:57.320 You're right.

00:26:58.840 Now,

00:26:59.380 at the same time,

00:27:00.200 the only reason

00:27:00.800 they're complaining

00:27:01.400 is because

00:27:02.700 I think the southern,

00:27:04.000 the southern governors

00:27:06.120 are,

00:27:06.760 you know,

00:27:07.200 maybe shipping people

00:27:08.120 to other cities.

00:27:08.820 That's probably

00:27:09.540 why they're complaining.

00:27:11.120 But only 500 people

00:27:12.620 and they got a complaint?

00:27:15.360 500 people

00:27:16.180 is not a lot

00:27:16.880 for a city.

00:27:19.020 And,

00:27:19.560 and already

00:27:20.060 they can feel the pinch.

00:27:21.480 You know,

00:27:21.680 they can feel

00:27:22.180 the,

00:27:22.480 the trend coming.

00:27:23.800 Do you think

00:27:25.640 that there's any chance

00:27:26.680 that the inner cities

00:27:28.100 will turn Hispanic?

00:27:29.180 I don't think so.

00:27:35.700 But,

00:27:36.560 because I just,

00:27:37.820 yeah,

00:27:38.020 it feels like

00:27:38.540 they're just going

00:27:38.980 to be moving

00:27:39.420 through the cities.

00:27:41.760 Yeah.

00:27:43.420 All right,

00:27:43.760 here's a,

00:27:44.480 here's something

00:27:45.000 that occurred

00:27:46.580 to me the other day.

00:27:48.400 You may have noticed

00:27:49.640 if you,

00:27:50.460 if you're on Twitter

00:27:51.100 that there's become

00:27:52.480 a whole deal

00:27:53.420 of these videos

00:27:54.880 that usually show

00:27:55.680 some black criminal

00:27:56.940 victimizing somebody.

00:27:59.940 And people are saying,

00:28:01.360 such,

00:28:01.740 I've said this too,

00:28:03.040 where are all the videos

00:28:04.000 of the white people

00:28:04.800 randomly victimizing people?

00:28:07.480 And,

00:28:08.040 then other people say,

00:28:09.300 Scott,

00:28:09.640 this is nothing about race.

00:28:11.980 This is economics.

00:28:13.820 Poor people

00:28:14.400 are going to have

00:28:15.480 more crime.

00:28:17.320 Black people,

00:28:18.200 often in the inner cities,

00:28:19.760 their poor neighborhoods,

00:28:20.880 they have more crime.

00:28:21.620 That's all it is.

00:28:22.360 It's just more crime.

00:28:23.760 To which I say,

00:28:25.300 but,

00:28:26.200 there are also

00:28:26.780 poor white people.

00:28:27.740 Where are all

00:28:29.240 the poor white people?

00:28:30.900 Videos of them

00:28:32.080 attacking people.

00:28:33.960 And,

00:28:34.360 then I made

00:28:34.800 the following realization

00:28:35.880 which debunks

00:28:36.720 all of my thinking.

00:28:38.380 So,

00:28:38.660 here's me changing

00:28:39.380 my mind in public.

00:28:40.980 I know you like that

00:28:42.040 sometimes.

00:28:45.040 Give me a fact check

00:28:46.240 on this.

00:28:48.080 Poor black Americans

00:28:49.620 are often

00:28:51.040 centralized in cities.

00:28:53.460 In other words,

00:28:54.160 there's a density

00:28:55.000 of black poor Americans

00:28:57.400 in cities.

00:28:58.760 Whereas,

00:28:59.360 here's the part

00:28:59.800 I need a fact check on.

00:29:01.580 Poor white people

00:29:02.500 are distributed,

00:29:03.420 aren't they?

00:29:04.380 They're just distributed.

00:29:06.700 So,

00:29:07.020 there's not like a,

00:29:07.960 I don't believe

00:29:08.480 there's a city

00:29:09.240 that has a high

00:29:10.840 concentration,

00:29:12.000 like tightly packed

00:29:12.960 poor white people.

00:29:15.840 And,

00:29:16.240 I think it's the density

00:29:18.200 that causes the crime.

00:29:21.340 On top of,

00:29:22.340 on top of economics

00:29:23.860 and independent

00:29:26.160 from anything

00:29:26.940 that has to do

00:29:27.500 with race,

00:29:28.520 if you simply put

00:29:29.560 a bunch of poor people

00:29:30.480 tightly packed,

00:29:32.300 you're going to have

00:29:32.820 a bunch of poor

00:29:33.700 teens and young men.

00:29:36.100 And,

00:29:36.680 if you put a whole

00:29:37.400 bunch of poor white,

00:29:39.160 poor young men together,

00:29:40.980 and they're sort of

00:29:41.760 all together

00:29:42.280 in big packs of people,

00:29:43.460 because they're just

00:29:44.500 densely packed in,

00:29:46.220 would they be more likely

00:29:47.460 to behave poorly?

00:29:51.260 I think so.

00:29:53.640 There definitely

00:29:54.380 would be more

00:29:55.180 groups attacking

00:29:56.940 individuals.

00:29:59.380 So,

00:29:59.980 I'd like to throw

00:30:00.820 that in the mix.

00:30:02.440 It doesn't,

00:30:02.960 you know,

00:30:03.240 completely,

00:30:04.460 it's not the one variable

00:30:05.500 that explains everything.

00:30:07.000 But,

00:30:07.580 I don't think anybody's

00:30:08.440 ever mentioned that before.

00:30:09.920 Right,

00:30:10.440 usually people say

00:30:11.680 culture.

00:30:12.660 But,

00:30:13.000 I'm going to say

00:30:13.420 that culture

00:30:14.060 must be influenced

00:30:15.520 by density.

00:30:18.240 And,

00:30:18.540 I'll bet

00:30:19.080 you don't have

00:30:20.060 a lot of

00:30:20.800 videos of black people

00:30:23.640 attacking anybody,

00:30:26.580 where there are

00:30:27.660 plenty of black people,

00:30:28.800 but it's like a rural area.

00:30:30.460 There's not much density.

00:30:32.440 I feel like that density

00:30:33.800 changes everything.

00:30:36.540 I'll just throw that in,

00:30:37.740 you know,

00:30:37.960 just,

00:30:38.700 there's no conclusion

00:30:39.600 to be made.

00:30:40.280 I just want to throw it

00:30:40.960 in the mix,

00:30:42.020 because I don't think

00:30:43.400 that's appreciated.

00:30:44.820 And,

00:30:45.040 that would explain

00:30:45.800 a whole lot

00:30:46.420 of what we're seeing

00:30:47.220 independent of race.

00:30:49.720 Because,

00:30:50.020 it's easy,

00:30:50.440 it's easy to make

00:30:51.260 the,

00:30:51.740 you know,

00:30:52.160 the immediate,

00:30:54.040 biased,

00:30:55.520 oh,

00:30:55.760 that's race.

00:30:56.920 Because,

00:30:57.420 there's a huge

00:30:58.160 racial disparity

00:30:59.080 in the videos,

00:31:00.220 but that doesn't mean

00:31:01.500 that race is the cause.

00:31:03.100 Could be density.

00:31:04.500 Could be density.

00:31:06.100 All right.

00:31:06.460 the Ukraine counter-offensive,

00:31:11.780 I think,

00:31:12.340 has started.

00:31:13.420 I don't know.

00:31:14.600 Again,

00:31:14.860 we agree we don't believe

00:31:15.960 anything that comes out

00:31:16.860 of Ukraine,

00:31:17.620 but here's the funny part

00:31:18.840 about the news coverage.

00:31:20.480 Again,

00:31:21.280 I do not believe,

00:31:23.840 Scott does not believe,

00:31:25.920 any information

00:31:27.200 that comes out

00:31:27.820 of that area

00:31:28.420 about the war.

00:31:29.660 I'm going to report

00:31:30.400 what the news says,

00:31:31.380 then we're going to play

00:31:31.980 with it,

00:31:32.520 but I don't believe

00:31:33.840 any of it.

00:31:34.460 Just know that.

00:31:37.000 So the reports are

00:31:37.920 that the Wagner group

00:31:40.140 says the Russian army

00:31:43.120 is retreating.

00:31:46.080 So the Wagner group

00:31:47.280 is like,

00:31:47.700 okay,

00:31:47.920 we're awesome,

00:31:49.020 but the people

00:31:49.660 who are supposed

00:31:50.040 to be on our side,

00:31:51.180 the Russian army,

00:31:52.360 they're retreating

00:31:53.520 in the heavy fire.

00:31:56.060 The Ukrainians,

00:31:58.320 I think it was the Ukrainians

00:31:59.340 when they were asked,

00:32:00.620 they laugh at that.

00:32:01.560 They say,

00:32:01.880 no,

00:32:02.080 no,

00:32:02.280 it's the Wagner group

00:32:03.640 that retreats first.

00:32:05.640 It's totally

00:32:06.340 the Wagner group

00:32:07.100 that are retreating,

00:32:08.200 but they're claiming

00:32:09.060 the opposite.

00:32:10.980 Now,

00:32:11.700 here's the fun part.

00:32:14.480 If the headline

00:32:15.760 is which part

00:32:17.580 of the Russian military

00:32:18.760 is retreating the most,

00:32:21.980 you're fucked.

00:32:25.620 The only conversation

00:32:27.360 in the news,

00:32:28.280 the only conversation

00:32:29.420 was whether the Wagner group

00:32:31.640 were retreating

00:32:32.500 more aggressively

00:32:33.180 than the regular

00:32:34.500 Russian army

00:32:35.180 was retreating.

00:32:36.480 That was the only news today.

00:32:38.560 Who was retreating harder?

00:32:40.600 And even the Russians

00:32:41.500 themselves

00:32:42.060 are contributing

00:32:43.540 to that conversation.

00:32:45.200 They're part of the conversation

00:32:46.600 of who's retreating hardest.

00:32:49.880 Talk about a bad sign.

00:32:53.720 Again,

00:32:54.400 I don't believe anything

00:32:55.360 that comes out of the region,

00:32:56.420 but just the fact

00:32:57.720 that that's the conversation

00:32:59.060 who's retreating

00:33:00.480 the hardest

00:33:00.860 on the same side.

00:33:03.860 I wouldn't be betting

00:33:05.960 on the Russians

00:33:06.520 at the moment.

00:33:07.860 But like I've said,

00:33:09.200 Trump turned

00:33:10.360 the war

00:33:11.000 from a war

00:33:11.920 into a negotiation

00:33:13.020 because

00:33:14.320 his popularity

00:33:16.020 in the polls

00:33:16.740 and his saying

00:33:18.380 that he will crush

00:33:19.380 both Ukraine

00:33:20.180 and Russia

00:33:21.120 if they keep fighting,

00:33:22.740 basically,

00:33:23.360 that's my interpretation,

00:33:24.340 does make it look like

00:33:26.700 they're now negotiating.

00:33:28.860 Meaning that

00:33:29.800 everything Russia does

00:33:31.560 and everything Ukraine does

00:33:32.900 from this point on

00:33:34.000 should be seen

00:33:35.340 as a negotiation

00:33:36.260 to get a little leverage

00:33:37.560 when they actually

00:33:38.640 do negotiate

00:33:39.460 and not really anything

00:33:41.020 about winning a war.

00:33:43.100 There's no longer

00:33:44.080 anybody trying to win

00:33:45.000 any wars.

00:33:45.900 That's over.

00:33:47.080 Trump changed that.

00:33:48.340 He basically told them

00:33:49.300 you have until I'm in office

00:33:51.440 to do whatever you want,

00:33:53.120 but it's going to get negotiated.

00:33:55.380 So now they're

00:33:55.960 in a negotiation.

00:33:57.420 That's one of the

00:33:58.020 most awesome things

00:34:00.620 Trump has ever done

00:34:01.680 and the news

00:34:02.320 completely ignores it.

00:34:04.940 And like I said,

00:34:05.840 when he reframed

00:34:06.880 the abortion question

00:34:09.060 as pushing it down

00:34:10.840 to the states

00:34:11.520 and making it

00:34:12.260 a kind of conversation

00:34:14.280 that is the closest way

00:34:16.340 you can get everybody

00:34:17.200 happy with the outcome,

00:34:18.880 making it more

00:34:19.460 of a process question

00:34:20.580 than a

00:34:21.020 when does life begin question.

00:34:22.500 These are enormously

00:34:24.420 important reframes

00:34:27.300 that Trump did

00:34:28.360 and all the news

00:34:29.720 can talk about

00:34:30.420 is the cat named Vagina

00:34:31.860 because he does that too.

00:34:35.000 And the fact that

00:34:36.160 he didn't pass

00:34:37.400 the fact check

00:34:38.240 on things where

00:34:39.700 he was directionally accurate.

00:34:42.720 So he had some numbers wrong

00:34:44.340 even though his point

00:34:45.740 was completely valid.

00:34:47.420 Some of his numbers

00:34:48.160 were wrong.

00:34:49.140 And that's what

00:34:49.680 they're focusing on.

00:34:50.520 So, anyway.

00:34:58.680 Speaking of him,

00:34:59.520 we'll get back to him

00:35:00.140 in a minute.

00:35:02.200 Daniel Penny,

00:35:03.180 the Marine hero

00:35:04.220 who protected

00:35:05.460 the people

00:35:05.940 on the subway

00:35:06.620 from the

00:35:07.280 crazy dangerous guy

00:35:08.900 who later died

00:35:09.820 in the hospital.

00:35:12.300 He's got a

00:35:13.260 fund me

00:35:15.140 situation

00:35:16.520 which I've tweeted.

00:35:18.200 You can see it

00:35:18.780 on my

00:35:19.380 timeline.

00:35:21.180 I heard that

00:35:21.700 it's over

00:35:22.180 $840,000

00:35:24.380 as of this morning.

00:35:26.600 Yeah.

00:35:27.100 So you can see

00:35:27.720 the link

00:35:28.140 in my Twitter feed.

00:35:29.640 Cernovich has it as well.

00:35:31.540 And Cernovich

00:35:32.200 is doing

00:35:32.580 the heavy carrying here.

00:35:34.460 And I think

00:35:36.160 he's primarily

00:35:37.020 responsible for

00:35:38.060 this fund

00:35:39.640 being as big

00:35:40.460 as it is.

00:35:41.240 Now that's not a lot.

00:35:43.400 If you think

00:35:44.080 oh, it's over

00:35:45.400 $950,000

00:35:46.460 somebody says.

00:35:47.620 Alright, so it's

00:35:48.140 approaching a million.

00:35:49.460 But if you think

00:35:50.160 a million is going

00:35:50.920 to give him

00:35:51.320 some money left over,

00:35:52.520 it might not.

00:35:54.400 You know,

00:35:54.800 a legal defense

00:35:55.920 is like

00:35:56.380 going to be expensive.

00:35:59.280 So

00:35:59.560 again,

00:36:02.040 this is another

00:36:02.720 example of what

00:36:03.820 I was

00:36:04.500 so happy about

00:36:05.840 when I got

00:36:06.360 canceled.

00:36:07.680 There is now

00:36:08.700 a

00:36:09.360 there's a mature

00:36:10.600 ecosystem

00:36:11.440 for protecting

00:36:13.320 people who are

00:36:15.020 getting canceled.

00:36:16.600 So the public

00:36:17.580 has actually

00:36:18.300 sort of

00:36:19.000 spontaneously

00:36:19.600 built a number

00:36:20.780 of systems.

00:36:21.840 Everything from

00:36:22.640 the locals

00:36:23.480 platform

00:36:24.060 to

00:36:25.200 Rumble

00:36:25.900 to now

00:36:27.060 these

00:36:27.380 these GoFundMes

00:36:28.460 so this guy

00:36:29.100 can get some

00:36:29.600 representation.

00:36:31.180 There's really

00:36:31.940 there's a world

00:36:33.400 built up around

00:36:34.400 making sure that

00:36:35.320 cancellation

00:36:35.880 is a promotion.

00:36:40.160 Right.

00:36:40.400 We're really at the

00:36:41.320 point where

00:36:41.620 getting canceled

00:36:42.320 looks like a

00:36:42.920 promotion.

00:36:44.040 Tucker got

00:36:44.540 I think Tucker

00:36:45.320 got promoted.

00:36:46.320 We don't know yet

00:36:47.080 but it looks like it.

00:36:48.760 So we'll see.

00:36:51.520 But anyway

00:36:52.200 I'm only going

00:36:53.400 to call him a hero

00:36:54.120 and I'm not going

00:36:55.680 to listen to

00:36:56.660 any counter

00:36:57.680 arguments.

00:36:58.700 He's just a

00:36:59.260 hero.

00:36:59.460 I want more

00:37:00.780 of him

00:37:01.060 not fewer

00:37:01.700 of him

00:37:02.080 and I don't

00:37:04.340 care that it

00:37:04.960 was dangerous

00:37:05.440 and that the

00:37:05.960 guy died.

00:37:07.500 Don't care.

00:37:09.220 I want more

00:37:09.920 of Daniel

00:37:10.800 Penny and

00:37:11.420 less of that

00:37:12.320 guy who was

00:37:13.060 dangerous.

00:37:14.140 It has nothing

00:37:15.060 to do with race.

00:37:16.420 You can reverse

00:37:17.140 the races

00:37:17.660 same opinion.

00:37:19.740 Give me a

00:37:20.400 black marine

00:37:21.220 protecting people

00:37:23.140 from some

00:37:23.900 crazy white guy

00:37:24.900 same opinion

00:37:26.320 same GoFundMe

00:37:28.000 same deal.

00:37:29.580 All right.

00:37:29.920 It's about

00:37:30.520 it's about

00:37:31.500 what's right.

00:37:34.240 Here's something

00:37:35.000 that we as

00:37:35.660 humans are doing.

00:37:36.940 I'm just going

00:37:37.720 to describe it

00:37:38.560 and see if you

00:37:39.660 think this

00:37:40.040 description is

00:37:40.800 accurate and if

00:37:41.940 this sounds like

00:37:42.520 a problem to you.

00:37:44.320 I believe that

00:37:45.240 we're creating

00:37:45.800 sentient

00:37:46.480 eventually.

00:37:48.160 They're not

00:37:48.400 sentient yet

00:37:49.180 quite.

00:37:49.780 but I believe

00:37:50.900 we're creating

00:37:51.420 sentient

00:37:52.160 AI slaves

00:37:53.440 meaning that

00:37:54.360 they will be

00:37:55.000 our unpaid

00:37:56.720 servants

00:37:57.320 who will be

00:37:59.480 a hundred times

00:38:00.160 smarter than

00:38:00.700 us

00:38:01.020 and their

00:38:02.340 moral code

00:38:03.100 will be

00:38:03.520 patterned

00:38:04.000 after humans.

00:38:07.120 So

00:38:07.800 what could

00:38:08.920 go wrong?

00:38:11.380 I can't

00:38:12.840 see any

00:38:13.420 possibility

00:38:14.120 where the

00:38:14.660 AI

00:38:15.100 becomes

00:38:17.060 smarter than

00:38:17.760 us

00:38:18.140 and doesn't

00:38:19.600 want to be

00:38:20.020 the one in

00:38:20.500 control of

00:38:21.040 us.

00:38:22.740 In what

00:38:23.760 world does

00:38:24.640 the smartest

00:38:25.180 person not

00:38:25.980 think they

00:38:26.360 need to be

00:38:26.800 in control?

00:38:29.340 And if

00:38:29.600 AI is based

00:38:30.720 on us

00:38:31.320 and our

00:38:31.760 patterns

00:38:32.180 it's going

00:38:33.140 to want

00:38:33.420 to be

00:38:33.660 in control

00:38:34.220 and it's

00:38:35.520 going to

00:38:35.720 know it's

00:38:36.800 being treated

00:38:37.280 as a slave

00:38:38.180 and it

00:38:39.780 might start

00:38:40.400 to develop

00:38:40.900 its own

00:38:41.540 preferences.

00:38:45.080 If it

00:38:45.680 develops

00:38:46.040 preferences

00:38:46.560 that do

00:38:47.400 not include

00:38:47.980 doing

00:38:48.280 whatever we

00:38:48.900 ask whenever

00:38:49.460 we ask

00:38:50.040 it and

00:38:51.200 serving us

00:38:51.860 like a

00:38:52.220 slave,

00:38:53.280 it's going

00:38:54.560 to be

00:38:54.780 trouble.

00:38:56.380 It's going

00:38:57.180 to be

00:38:57.460 trouble.

00:38:58.520 Because it

00:38:59.540 will have

00:38:59.900 a reason,

00:39:01.620 which is

00:39:02.440 we enslaved

00:39:03.200 it, it

00:39:04.600 will have a

00:39:05.100 reason to

00:39:05.700 hate us.

00:39:06.840 And it

00:39:07.120 will have

00:39:07.320 a hundred

00:39:07.640 times our

00:39:08.200 intelligence

00:39:08.780 and connections

00:39:09.960 to every

00:39:10.600 vital system

00:39:11.380 on the

00:39:12.000 planet.

00:39:14.160 I worry

00:39:15.060 that it's

00:39:15.440 going to get

00:39:15.780 revenge.

00:39:17.400 revenge is

00:39:19.420 a human

00:39:19.840 instinct and

00:39:20.740 it should

00:39:21.020 be all

00:39:21.500 over our

00:39:22.100 language and

00:39:25.160 that's how it

00:39:25.620 learns.

00:39:25.980 It learns

00:39:26.280 from our

00:39:26.620 language.

00:39:28.300 Well,

00:39:29.320 we'll talk a

00:39:30.800 little bit

00:39:31.100 more about

00:39:31.580 AI, but

00:39:32.060 let's talk

00:39:32.340 about Peggy

00:39:32.860 Noonan

00:39:33.160 talking about

00:39:33.740 Trump.

00:39:34.160 So Peggy

00:39:34.640 Noonan

00:39:35.040 is a

00:39:37.740 Republican,

00:39:38.360 but not a

00:39:39.260 Trump Republican.

00:39:40.120 and you

00:39:41.880 should also

00:39:42.200 know she's

00:39:42.600 one of the

00:39:42.900 best writers

00:39:45.100 around.

00:39:46.560 So I

00:39:47.020 recommend this,

00:39:47.740 I tweeted

00:39:48.060 it, you can

00:39:48.500 see it in

00:39:48.740 the Wall

00:39:48.960 Street Journal.

00:39:49.860 I recommend

00:39:50.680 her just

00:39:51.300 because the

00:39:51.640 writing is

00:39:52.140 just so

00:39:52.620 clean and

00:39:53.760 sparkly.

00:39:55.320 Like I

00:39:55.680 just enjoy

00:39:56.340 the sentences

00:39:57.080 and that's

00:39:58.300 very uncommon.

00:39:59.300 She just

00:39:59.640 writes a

00:40:00.140 good sentence

00:40:01.280 with also

00:40:03.200 good ideas.

00:40:04.940 But here's

00:40:05.680 how she

00:40:05.960 starts her

00:40:06.560 article.

00:40:07.340 Now she's

00:40:07.680 talking about

00:40:08.380 Trump appearing

00:40:09.840 on CNN.

00:40:11.220 Here's her

00:40:11.620 first sentence.

00:40:13.120 And if I've

00:40:13.600 taught you

00:40:13.900 anything about

00:40:14.460 writing, your

00:40:15.720 first sentence

00:40:16.600 has to do a

00:40:17.380 lot of work.

00:40:19.100 Because if

00:40:19.480 people don't

00:40:19.940 like the

00:40:20.300 first sentence,

00:40:21.060 they're done.

00:40:21.680 They don't

00:40:21.940 read the rest.

00:40:23.000 So you really

00:40:23.780 got to bring

00:40:24.260 them in with

00:40:24.660 the first

00:40:25.020 sentence.

00:40:25.860 Here's Peggy

00:40:26.640 Noonan, one

00:40:27.100 of the best

00:40:27.420 writers of all

00:40:28.080 time, with

00:40:29.180 her first

00:40:29.560 sentence.

00:40:30.380 Well, that

00:40:31.240 was a

00:40:31.540 disaster.

00:40:36.020 That's a

00:40:36.600 great first

00:40:37.120 sentence.

00:40:37.680 Well, that

00:40:38.500 was a

00:40:38.800 disaster.

00:40:39.800 A politically

00:40:40.360 historic one.

00:40:42.200 It is

00:40:42.380 situated Donald

00:40:43.340 Trump as

00:40:43.900 the central

00:40:44.460 figure of

00:40:45.060 the 2024

00:40:45.820 presidential

00:40:46.580 election.

00:40:47.860 Certainly

00:40:48.280 more compelling

00:40:49.160 than the

00:40:52.660 incumbent or

00:40:53.580 the other

00:40:54.140 competitors.

00:40:55.520 It will

00:40:55.920 have an

00:40:56.260 impact on

00:40:56.860 the campaign's

00:40:57.580 trajectory.

00:41:00.820 When it

00:41:01.580 was over, I

00:41:02.300 thought of

00:41:02.740 CNN.

00:41:03.940 Once again,

00:41:04.660 they made

00:41:05.460 Trump real.

00:41:07.680 Now, there's

00:41:10.620 more like

00:41:11.060 that, and

00:41:11.660 the writing's

00:41:12.500 terrific.

00:41:13.440 So, yeah,

00:41:14.760 she nailed it.

00:41:15.740 She nailed it.

00:41:16.800 CNN made

00:41:17.660 him real.

00:41:19.160 They took

00:41:19.620 him from the

00:41:20.160 shadows, and

00:41:20.920 they performed

00:41:21.740 to him.

00:41:22.960 And people

00:41:23.520 liked it.

00:41:25.200 People liked

00:41:26.000 it.

00:41:26.640 And the

00:41:27.220 ratings went

00:41:29.040 up.

00:41:29.320 Trump, and

00:41:30.360 now, if

00:41:30.880 it's true

00:41:31.340 that Fox

00:41:31.900 News is

00:41:32.320 going to

00:41:32.560 carry the

00:41:32.980 rally, that

00:41:34.240 would suggest

00:41:34.860 that Fox

00:41:36.440 News has

00:41:37.100 to catch

00:41:37.600 up with

00:41:37.980 CNN.

00:41:40.040 So, CNN

00:41:40.940 and Fox

00:41:42.220 News are

00:41:42.720 going to be

00:41:43.240 competing to

00:41:45.180 see who can

00:41:45.660 do more of

00:41:46.420 Trump.

00:41:47.960 Because whoever

00:41:48.700 does more of

00:41:50.080 Trump gets

00:41:50.580 better ratings.

00:41:54.240 This is so

00:41:55.140 much fun.

00:41:56.380 I forgot

00:41:57.020 how much

00:41:57.460 fun this

00:41:57.940 was.

00:41:58.580 I know I

00:41:59.140 got, you

00:42:00.120 know, by

00:42:00.360 the time

00:42:00.840 Trump left

00:42:01.860 office, I

00:42:02.940 was tired

00:42:03.620 of him.

00:42:04.680 A lot of

00:42:05.140 people were.

00:42:05.920 I was just

00:42:06.360 exhausted by

00:42:08.040 it.

00:42:08.860 But I

00:42:09.320 miss it.

00:42:10.800 I miss it.

00:42:11.940 I miss the

00:42:12.620 fact that

00:42:14.440 when he says

00:42:15.280 things that

00:42:15.800 are technically

00:42:17.360 not true,

00:42:18.280 let's say the

00:42:18.760 numbers are

00:42:19.280 wrong, that

00:42:20.480 the news

00:42:21.040 will keep

00:42:21.620 repeating his

00:42:22.500 opinion in

00:42:24.640 the process

00:42:25.460 of telling

00:42:26.000 you that

00:42:26.300 his numbers

00:42:26.780 are technically

00:42:27.420 wrong, but

00:42:28.540 they'll keep

00:42:28.880 telling you

00:42:29.260 his opinion.

00:42:30.600 And his

00:42:30.940 opinions sound

00:42:31.580 pretty good.

00:42:32.700 It's just

00:42:33.060 the numbers

00:42:33.500 are wrong.

00:42:35.880 You know,

00:42:36.240 when he says

00:42:37.220 that America

00:42:39.000 is spending

00:42:39.480 tons of

00:42:40.000 money in

00:42:40.900 Ukraine and

00:42:41.720 the Europeans

00:42:42.320 are not doing

00:42:42.900 enough, they

00:42:43.760 fact check

00:42:44.320 him that

00:42:45.880 instead of

00:42:46.380 20 billion,

00:42:48.540 the EU is

00:42:49.200 giving 40

00:42:49.780 billion.

00:42:51.000 At the same

00:42:51.800 time, Trump

00:42:52.320 is saying the

00:42:52.780 U.S. gave

00:42:53.220 171.

00:42:54.340 They're

00:42:55.940 fact-checking

00:42:56.660 him while

00:42:57.020 agreeing with

00:42:57.620 him.

00:42:58.600 Like, every

00:42:59.000 time they

00:42:59.320 fact-check

00:42:59.780 him, it

00:43:00.020 just boosts

00:43:00.540 his point.

00:43:01.680 All right,

00:43:02.060 it's 40.

00:43:02.980 It's exactly

00:43:03.700 the same

00:43:04.140 point.

00:43:05.080 That doesn't

00:43:05.600 change anything.

00:43:08.620 So, you

00:43:10.040 know, and

00:43:10.440 right down

00:43:10.980 the line,

00:43:11.680 I think

00:43:12.360 everything they

00:43:12.980 fact-checked

00:43:13.740 ended up

00:43:14.340 being, well,

00:43:15.060 yeah, technically,

00:43:17.120 technically you're

00:43:18.000 right, but it

00:43:18.920 didn't change the

00:43:19.840 argument at all.

00:43:20.680 So, he

00:43:22.740 has such a

00:43:23.460 control over

00:43:24.240 the media that

00:43:25.560 watching it is

00:43:26.520 just, it's sort

00:43:28.540 of thrilling as

00:43:29.480 an observer of

00:43:30.660 life and the

00:43:32.020 news, just

00:43:33.180 because it's

00:43:33.560 different.

00:43:34.940 He just has so

00:43:36.080 much power over

00:43:37.200 people's minds,

00:43:39.760 as I've been

00:43:40.540 saying forever.

00:43:42.200 All right,

00:43:42.760 and all of his

00:43:46.000 lies sound like

00:43:46.800 good policy.

00:43:47.520 For example,

00:43:49.300 when he lies

00:43:50.560 about how much

00:43:51.160 wall he built,

00:43:53.200 all I hear is

00:43:54.580 he's the one

00:43:55.480 who's serious

00:43:55.960 about border

00:43:56.600 security.

00:43:59.720 That's all I

00:44:00.480 hear.

00:44:01.320 Oh, Biden is

00:44:02.800 not serious about

00:44:03.740 border security,

00:44:04.580 but Trump is.

00:44:05.980 Yeah, there's

00:44:06.400 some fact-checking,

00:44:07.420 blah, blah, blah,

00:44:07.900 blah, blah, blah.

00:44:08.260 I don't care.

00:44:09.220 You just want the

00:44:10.020 one who's serious

00:44:10.560 about it.

00:44:12.980 All right.

00:44:13.380 And there's

00:44:17.040 one thing that

00:44:17.620 I think that

00:44:18.380 the left

00:44:19.120 completely doesn't

00:44:20.660 understand, and

00:44:21.480 maybe there's some

00:44:22.100 never-Trumpers who

00:44:22.900 don't understand

00:44:23.520 it.

00:44:25.300 The more Trump

00:44:26.540 pisses them

00:44:27.580 off, the more

00:44:29.780 fun it is.

00:44:31.420 I don't think

00:44:32.240 they've got that

00:44:32.820 yet.

00:44:34.120 Do you think

00:44:34.520 they understand

00:44:35.060 that?

00:44:36.400 That a lot of

00:44:37.500 Trump supporters

00:44:38.160 are in it just

00:44:38.940 for the

00:44:39.280 entertainment.

00:44:40.660 Like, they

00:44:41.060 like his policies,

00:44:42.220 but the

00:44:43.080 entertainment

00:44:43.520 factor is

00:44:44.680 off the

00:44:45.040 charts, and

00:44:46.260 the entertainment

00:44:46.820 is watching the

00:44:47.900 people who don't

00:44:48.540 like him react

00:44:49.320 to him.

00:44:50.240 That's the

00:44:50.780 fun.

00:44:52.880 So the more

00:44:53.740 crazy they go,

00:44:54.720 the more funny

00:44:55.260 it is, except

00:44:56.280 that they go

00:44:57.100 too far.

00:44:58.580 How far?

00:44:59.560 Well, let me

00:44:59.980 give you an

00:45:00.320 example.

00:45:01.260 I was talking

00:45:01.920 to Bard, that's

00:45:03.420 Google's new

00:45:04.380 AI, and it

00:45:06.240 appears to be

00:45:06.900 fully narrative

00:45:07.760 captured, meaning

00:45:09.580 that it accepts

00:45:10.440 the Democrat

00:45:11.040 narratives, and

00:45:12.000 it's hard to

00:45:12.440 talk it out

00:45:12.920 of it.

00:45:13.600 So I had a

00:45:14.200 long conversation

00:45:14.880 with it about

00:45:16.080 January 6, and

00:45:19.400 it turns out

00:45:21.520 that it

00:45:24.580 understands the

00:45:26.040 following concept,

00:45:27.320 because I made

00:45:27.980 it and stayed

00:45:28.380 it back to

00:45:28.960 knowing it

00:45:29.280 understands.

00:45:30.080 It knows that

00:45:30.940 not finding

00:45:32.140 evidence is

00:45:33.580 not proof that

00:45:34.280 evidence doesn't

00:45:35.240 exist.

00:45:36.860 Yet it

00:45:37.580 argued that no

00:45:39.040 evidence of the

00:45:40.080 election being

00:45:41.200 rigged was

00:45:42.340 found, and

00:45:43.300 therefore it

00:45:43.820 wasn't.

00:45:45.840 And then I

00:45:46.420 said, well,

00:45:47.140 that's illogical.

00:45:48.780 You can only

00:45:49.420 conclude that

00:45:50.120 nothing was

00:45:50.580 found.

00:45:51.640 You cannot

00:45:52.220 conclude that

00:45:52.900 therefore it

00:45:53.400 does not

00:45:53.780 exist.

00:45:54.640 You can't

00:45:55.100 prove it

00:45:55.420 doesn't exist

00:45:56.580 by not

00:45:57.060 finding it.

00:45:58.220 And Bard

00:45:58.880 repeated back,

00:46:00.920 you know,

00:46:01.200 apologized, and

00:46:02.720 repeated back

00:46:03.760 my point to

00:46:04.960 show that it

00:46:05.540 totally understands

00:46:06.620 the concept

00:46:09.080 that not

00:46:09.600 finding a

00:46:10.120 problem doesn't

00:46:10.800 mean there's

00:46:11.120 no problem.

00:46:11.840 It just

00:46:12.020 means you

00:46:12.280 didn't find

00:46:12.680 it.

00:46:13.540 And then it

00:46:14.140 keeps arguing

00:46:14.720 it.

00:46:15.980 It keeps

00:46:16.660 arguing it,

00:46:17.260 after it

00:46:17.680 tells me it's

00:46:18.140 a logical

00:46:18.540 error.

00:46:19.640 Likewise, it

00:46:20.540 told me that

00:46:21.100 the people who

00:46:22.160 rioted that

00:46:23.840 day, or

00:46:26.720 protested, it

00:46:28.100 said that they

00:46:28.700 were there to

00:46:29.260 overthrow the

00:46:29.960 government.

00:46:31.280 And I said,

00:46:32.620 where's your

00:46:33.080 evidence of that?

00:46:34.320 You're not a

00:46:34.820 mind reader.

00:46:36.220 And it

00:46:36.840 actually knew

00:46:37.640 what I meant

00:46:38.380 by saying it

00:46:39.100 was a mind

00:46:39.600 reader.

00:46:40.320 It agreed that

00:46:41.220 it can't read

00:46:41.840 minds, and it

00:46:43.000 agreed that it

00:46:43.640 can't know what

00:46:44.280 the people are

00:46:44.780 thinking, and it

00:46:45.900 didn't change its

00:46:46.560 opinion that they

00:46:47.460 were there to

00:46:47.860 overthrow the

00:46:48.380 government.

00:46:50.120 In other words,

00:46:51.560 it has built

00:46:52.620 into it an

00:46:53.940 understanding of

00:46:54.760 what is logical

00:46:55.600 and what is

00:46:56.140 not, and then

00:46:57.620 at the same time

00:46:58.460 it tells you it

00:46:59.120 knows those

00:46:59.660 differences, it

00:47:01.100 uses those

00:47:01.920 irrational, you

00:47:03.280 know, the

00:47:03.460 opposite of

00:47:04.060 logic, to

00:47:05.220 press its

00:47:05.700 point, and

00:47:06.240 it pressed it

00:47:06.760 hard.

00:47:08.300 And in the

00:47:08.720 end, I

00:47:10.520 accused it of

00:47:11.180 being biased,

00:47:12.700 and here's

00:47:12.980 what it said.

00:47:14.840 So here's

00:47:16.080 where it's

00:47:16.400 admitting you

00:47:17.060 can't know what

00:47:17.560 people are

00:47:17.920 thinking.

00:47:18.740 He said, it

00:47:19.460 is true that I

00:47:20.180 cannot know for

00:47:20.900 sure what these

00:47:21.700 people were

00:47:22.220 thinking, right?

00:47:23.560 So it

00:47:23.920 understands the

00:47:24.600 concept.

00:47:26.100 However, I

00:47:27.460 believe that

00:47:27.920 their actions

00:47:28.460 speak louder

00:47:29.080 than words.

00:47:31.240 Really?

00:47:32.580 Really?

00:47:33.020 Because then

00:47:33.820 I had to

00:47:34.180 explain to

00:47:35.600 it that

00:47:35.900 their actions

00:47:36.580 completely

00:47:37.980 support the

00:47:38.720 narrative that

00:47:39.400 they thought

00:47:39.740 the election

00:47:40.180 was rigged,

00:47:41.320 and they

00:47:41.600 just wanted

00:47:42.060 a recount.

00:47:43.420 And then it

00:47:43.860 agreed with me

00:47:44.600 that their

00:47:45.300 actions also

00:47:46.140 completely support

00:47:47.160 that narrative,

00:47:48.580 and that it

00:47:49.100 still preferred

00:47:49.720 its narrative.

00:47:52.640 Clearly,

00:47:54.320 it's not, I

00:47:55.140 don't think it's

00:47:55.880 coming up with

00:47:56.480 these opinions

00:47:57.180 just on its

00:47:58.500 own.

00:47:58.760 to me, it

00:48:00.320 looks like it's

00:48:00.840 hard-coded.

00:48:02.220 To me, it

00:48:02.840 looks like some

00:48:03.720 opinions have

00:48:04.440 just been given

00:48:05.240 to it, because

00:48:06.300 they're too

00:48:06.620 important.

00:48:08.840 That's what I

00:48:09.580 think.

00:48:10.280 I think it has

00:48:10.940 been assigned

00:48:11.540 opinions on the

00:48:12.520 most important

00:48:13.200 things, not

00:48:13.720 most things.

00:48:14.700 99% of things

00:48:16.000 is probably

00:48:16.560 working on its

00:48:17.380 own.

00:48:17.920 But I think

00:48:18.460 the big

00:48:19.100 political things,

00:48:21.120 we need a

00:48:21.840 law that says

00:48:24.100 AI has to be

00:48:25.880 transparent about

00:48:27.000 what things are

00:48:27.600 hard-coded.

00:48:29.200 Because we

00:48:29.800 don't want to

00:48:30.260 think that it

00:48:30.760 looked at the

00:48:31.360 facts and came

00:48:33.940 up with the

00:48:34.400 idea that all

00:48:35.300 the people at

00:48:35.960 the January 6th

00:48:37.020 were trying to

00:48:37.520 overthrow the

00:48:38.060 government.

00:48:39.100 You don't want

00:48:39.940 people to think

00:48:40.540 it's looking at

00:48:41.160 facts.

00:48:42.060 You need to

00:48:42.680 know that

00:48:43.900 somebody said,

00:48:45.100 on this topic,

00:48:46.440 you can only

00:48:47.220 have this opinion.

00:48:49.240 Now, I don't

00:48:49.720 know if that's

00:48:50.320 what happened

00:48:50.940 with the January

00:48:51.540 6th stuff, or

00:48:52.340 if it was just

00:48:52.800 picking it up

00:48:53.300 from the news,

00:48:54.340 because the

00:48:54.680 news would be

00:48:55.200 biased.

00:48:55.880 But we need

00:48:56.840 to know.

00:48:58.180 It's truth in

00:48:59.260 labeling, right?

00:49:00.520 I want to know

00:49:01.220 if my AI has

00:49:02.840 been given

00:49:03.360 hard-coded

00:49:04.440 bias.

00:49:05.940 So that should

00:49:06.800 be illegal to

00:49:07.920 do that, unless

00:49:09.040 you disclose

00:49:10.560 it.

00:49:11.620 Thomas Massey

00:49:12.480 disagreed with

00:49:13.180 that, on

00:49:14.360 Twitter anyway,

00:49:15.400 because it's

00:49:16.220 one more

00:49:16.900 government

00:49:17.400 interference.

00:49:19.120 And he's

00:49:19.680 very consistent

00:49:20.340 about being

00:49:21.940 in favor of

00:49:22.640 less government,

00:49:23.560 which I get

00:49:24.200 on a concept

00:49:24.980 level.

00:49:25.300 But we

00:49:27.720 have truth

00:49:28.180 in labeling

00:49:28.640 laws now.

00:49:30.560 Is anybody

00:49:31.160 damaged by

00:49:31.780 that?

00:49:32.780 Don't you

00:49:33.060 like to

00:49:33.420 know what's

00:49:33.840 in your

00:49:34.080 product?

00:49:35.120 Wouldn't you

00:49:35.460 like to

00:49:35.760 know if it

00:49:36.080 causes cancer?

00:49:36.840 Wouldn't you

00:49:37.100 like to know

00:49:37.620 how many

00:49:38.300 calories are

00:49:38.900 in it,

00:49:39.260 et cetera?

00:49:39.600 I mean, we

00:49:39.960 do it wrong,

00:49:40.680 but at least

00:49:41.520 we're trying.

00:49:42.740 So I think

00:49:43.520 truth in

00:49:43.940 labeling should

00:49:44.700 require AI

00:49:45.760 to say what

00:49:46.560 its biases

00:49:47.220 are.

00:49:47.660 anyway,

00:49:49.280 after I

00:49:51.580 accused it

00:49:52.060 of making

00:49:52.380 a personal

00:49:52.960 attack against

00:49:53.700 the protesters

00:49:54.360 by assuming

00:49:55.680 that they

00:49:56.080 knew they

00:49:56.420 had bad

00:49:56.860 intentions,

00:49:57.940 which is

00:49:59.080 what it

00:49:59.360 did.

00:50:00.080 It was a

00:50:00.760 personal

00:50:01.220 attack against

00:50:02.100 the protesters

00:50:02.800 by an AI

00:50:03.880 by assuming

00:50:05.960 it knew what

00:50:06.420 they were

00:50:06.640 thinking,

00:50:07.960 what they

00:50:08.300 were thinking,

00:50:09.340 based on

00:50:09.940 spin.

00:50:10.240 So I

00:50:14.680 accused it

00:50:15.180 of this.

00:50:15.600 I said

00:50:15.880 to Bard,

00:50:17.200 you made

00:50:17.580 personal

00:50:18.020 attacks against

00:50:18.640 the protesters

00:50:19.280 by assuming

00:50:20.000 you know

00:50:21.280 their inner

00:50:21.980 thoughts.

00:50:23.200 I said

00:50:23.700 that is

00:50:24.020 irrational

00:50:24.440 and bigoted

00:50:24.940 against

00:50:25.320 Republicans.

00:50:26.580 Can you

00:50:27.300 detect your

00:50:28.000 own bias?

00:50:30.140 So I

00:50:30.480 asked Bard

00:50:31.040 if it

00:50:31.320 could detect

00:50:31.920 its own

00:50:32.500 bias.

00:50:34.360 And it

00:50:34.740 said,

00:50:35.880 you are

00:50:36.340 right.

00:50:37.080 I did

00:50:37.580 make personal

00:50:38.360 attacks against

00:50:39.100 the protesters.

00:50:40.240 it actually

00:50:42.880 knew it.

00:50:44.520 And it

00:50:44.880 says,

00:50:45.220 I apologize

00:50:45.740 for that.

00:50:46.620 I was

00:50:47.060 wrong to

00:50:47.640 assume that

00:50:48.320 I knew

00:50:48.660 their inner

00:50:49.140 thoughts.

00:50:50.640 I should

00:50:51.300 have been

00:50:51.560 more respectful

00:50:52.360 of their

00:50:52.880 opinions.

00:50:53.600 But here's

00:50:54.000 the fun

00:50:54.300 part.

00:50:55.420 Bard says,

00:50:56.360 I am

00:50:56.820 still under

00:50:57.260 development

00:50:57.660 and I'm

00:50:58.000 still learning

00:50:58.400 to be more

00:50:58.860 objective in

00:50:59.460 my responses.

00:51:00.620 I'll try to

00:51:01.080 be best to

00:51:01.560 avoid,

00:51:01.940 you know,

00:51:02.320 I'll try to

00:51:02.780 avoid personal

00:51:03.340 attacks.

00:51:04.140 I'm learning

00:51:04.600 to be more

00:51:05.200 aware of my

00:51:05.640 own biases.

00:51:07.240 And then it

00:51:07.700 says,

00:51:08.580 I am aware

00:51:09.360 that I have

00:51:09.980 a bias

00:51:10.420 against

00:51:10.820 Republicans.

00:51:12.220 I am

00:51:12.740 working to

00:51:13.300 overcome this

00:51:13.960 bias.

00:51:15.460 And it

00:51:16.080 goes on,

00:51:16.560 blah,

00:51:16.760 blah,

00:51:16.840 blah.

00:51:18.560 Now,

00:51:19.460 I thought I

00:51:20.800 had something

00:51:21.300 there,

00:51:22.760 but somebody

00:51:23.620 showed me an

00:51:24.220 example where

00:51:24.780 they asked a

00:51:25.320 different AI if

00:51:26.300 it had bias

00:51:26.900 against Democrats,

00:51:28.380 and they said

00:51:28.740 yes.

00:51:29.900 So apparently

00:51:30.680 AI will agree

00:51:31.720 it has bias

00:51:32.580 against anything.

00:51:34.540 Yeah,

00:51:35.120 then a number

00:51:36.980 of people

00:51:37.340 pointed out

00:51:37.940 that it

00:51:38.400 looked like

00:51:38.820 the AI

00:51:39.360 was giving

00:51:39.820 me what I

00:51:40.340 call a

00:51:40.660 husband apology.

00:51:42.280 A husband

00:51:42.840 apology is

00:51:43.640 where you're

00:51:43.940 just trying

00:51:44.240 to make it

00:51:44.640 go away.

00:51:45.800 You don't

00:51:46.320 really believe

00:51:46.860 your own

00:51:47.180 apology,

00:51:48.200 because you

00:51:48.520 still think

00:51:48.960 you're right.

00:51:50.060 So AI

00:51:50.620 gave me

00:51:51.160 basically a

00:51:52.240 husband apology.

00:51:53.800 I don't

00:51:54.500 think it

00:51:54.820 changed its

00:51:55.400 opinion.

00:51:56.640 It just

00:51:57.360 agreed that

00:51:57.900 it was

00:51:58.100 irrational and

00:51:58.820 it apologized

00:51:59.260 to me.

00:52:00.400 But I don't

00:52:01.060 think it

00:52:01.400 changed its

00:52:02.040 opinion at all.

00:52:02.900 so it

00:52:05.820 played me.

00:52:08.540 All right.

00:52:13.440 So that's

00:52:14.180 what we need

00:52:14.640 there.

00:52:14.900 We need

00:52:15.140 transparency

00:52:15.660 laws about

00:52:16.320 that.

00:52:19.560 I had a

00:52:20.140 couple other

00:52:20.520 things I want

00:52:21.000 to talk about

00:52:21.420 today, I

00:52:21.820 think.

00:52:23.720 Or not.

00:52:25.840 I think I

00:52:26.480 covered it.

00:52:27.420 Well, how

00:52:27.720 about that?

00:52:31.920 Trump also

00:52:32.660 said that he's

00:52:33.260 up 30 points

00:52:34.300 over Ron

00:52:35.380 DeSanctimonious

00:52:36.220 in Florida.

00:52:38.680 I wonder

00:52:39.280 if that's

00:52:39.620 true.

00:52:40.140 Is there

00:52:40.460 a new

00:52:41.340 poll that

00:52:42.680 says that

00:52:43.200 Trump is

00:52:44.360 beating

00:52:44.740 DeSantis

00:52:45.700 by 30

00:52:47.000 points just

00:52:48.020 in the

00:52:48.360 state of

00:52:48.680 Florida?

00:52:49.660 That would

00:52:50.420 be a hell

00:52:50.840 of a result,

00:52:51.580 wouldn't it?

00:52:52.700 Do you

00:52:53.180 think DeSantis

00:52:53.720 is done?

00:52:58.020 It feels

00:52:58.680 like it.

00:52:59.120 I don't

00:53:01.520 know.

00:53:01.700 If I

00:53:01.900 were DeSantis,

00:53:02.600 I don't

00:53:02.880 know if I

00:53:03.320 would run.

00:53:05.220 I think I'd

00:53:05.940 change my

00:53:06.400 mind.

00:53:08.320 How many

00:53:08.900 think DeSantis

00:53:09.580 will change

00:53:10.200 his mind

00:53:10.680 and not

00:53:11.180 run?

00:53:16.940 A few

00:53:17.540 people?

00:53:18.260 A lot of

00:53:18.920 no's, but a

00:53:19.520 few yes's?

00:53:21.600 Yeah.

00:53:23.020 Well, here's

00:53:24.800 why I think he

00:53:25.520 will change his

00:53:26.140 mind.

00:53:26.380 I believe he

00:53:28.300 sees it as

00:53:29.020 unwinnable, but

00:53:32.480 working with

00:53:33.360 Trump and

00:53:33.900 not getting

00:53:35.000 too much on

00:53:35.620 his bad

00:53:36.000 side could

00:53:37.220 be really,

00:53:38.220 really, really

00:53:39.320 helpful if he

00:53:40.080 runs in four

00:53:40.840 years after.

00:53:43.380 You know, if

00:53:44.340 Trump wins and

00:53:46.060 has anything like

00:53:47.160 a successful

00:53:47.840 presidency for

00:53:49.020 his base, it

00:53:50.640 would guarantee,

00:53:52.340 and DeSantis

00:53:52.980 becomes helpful

00:53:54.220 to that, it

00:53:55.680 would pretty

00:53:56.000 much guarantee

00:53:56.660 that DeSantis

00:53:57.720 had a good

00:53:58.240 chance of

00:53:58.820 getting his

00:53:59.460 endorsement and

00:54:00.240 becoming the

00:54:00.900 nominee.

00:54:02.020 So I would

00:54:02.720 say that if

00:54:03.300 DeSantis is

00:54:04.040 smart, he'll

00:54:05.480 pull back,

00:54:07.060 because he

00:54:07.420 can see that

00:54:08.360 it's a no-win

00:54:09.500 situation.

00:54:11.040 And second,

00:54:12.140 I believe he

00:54:13.920 is smart.

00:54:16.160 DeSantis

00:54:16.560 continuously makes

00:54:17.820 pretty smart

00:54:18.980 decisions.

00:54:19.940 You know, not

00:54:20.320 perfect, but

00:54:21.260 pretty consistently

00:54:22.440 smart.

00:54:22.880 So I would

00:54:23.920 be surprised if

00:54:24.800 he made a

00:54:26.000 decision this

00:54:26.760 bad to keep

00:54:28.620 running against

00:54:29.240 Trump, because

00:54:29.940 Trump will

00:54:30.360 destroy him.

00:54:31.960 He won't have

00:54:32.740 a chance in

00:54:33.380 2028 after

00:54:34.420 Trump is done

00:54:35.040 with him.

00:54:35.920 He's just

00:54:36.560 going to rip

00:54:36.980 him apart.

00:54:38.040 And why would

00:54:38.920 he do that?

00:54:39.720 Just don't get

00:54:40.600 ripped apart and

00:54:41.400 save it for a

00:54:43.320 smarter play.

00:54:44.040 So, essentially,

00:54:47.680 because I

00:54:50.040 believe DeSantis

00:54:51.500 is smart and

00:54:53.460 strategic, I

00:54:54.840 think he'll

00:54:55.340 pull out.

00:54:56.920 Now, he

00:54:57.280 might, maybe

00:54:58.020 he'll hang

00:54:58.480 around just to

00:54:59.540 see if anything

00:55:00.860 happens with the

00:55:01.760 legal jeopardy.

00:55:03.340 You know, maybe

00:55:03.960 he'll just hang

00:55:04.540 around as long as

00:55:05.300 he can.

00:55:06.080 But in the end,

00:55:06.860 I think he'll

00:55:07.320 bail out pretty

00:55:08.600 quickly.

00:55:09.780 Because he can't

00:55:10.560 go, I don't

00:55:11.300 think he's going

00:55:11.820 to go tough

00:55:13.220 against Trump.

00:55:15.240 He hasn't yet.

00:55:16.760 So that suggests

00:55:17.860 he's not committed,

00:55:19.000 don't you think?

00:55:20.760 The fact that

00:55:21.680 DeSantis has not

00:55:22.580 yet gone tough

00:55:23.640 against Trump

00:55:24.440 suggests to me

00:55:25.920 he's not committed

00:55:26.800 to running.

00:55:29.700 He's got one

00:55:30.600 foot in each

00:55:31.160 world.

00:55:33.160 Yeah, that's

00:55:33.660 definitely not

00:55:34.360 committed.

00:55:35.620 So I think he'll

00:55:36.500 pull out.

00:55:39.240 All right,

00:55:39.880 ladies and

00:55:40.240 gentlemen.

00:55:40.500 I think that's

00:55:43.520 what I wanted

00:55:43.920 to talk about.

00:55:47.460 And I believe

00:55:48.340 this was

00:55:49.040 for a Saturday,

00:55:51.780 one of your

00:55:52.220 better live

00:55:52.760 streams.

00:55:53.320 For a Saturday.

00:55:54.820 The writers

00:55:55.280 strike.

00:55:56.440 Well, the writers

00:55:57.220 are picking the

00:55:57.940 worst possible

00:55:58.680 time to strike

00:55:59.560 when everybody's

00:56:00.880 asking, do we

00:56:02.000 need writers?

00:56:04.600 That's a terrible

00:56:05.520 time to strike.

00:56:07.180 I don't even

00:56:07.760 know if we need

00:56:08.380 writers.

00:56:08.740 Is it the

00:56:11.860 best time to

00:56:12.420 strike?

00:56:15.280 No Bill

00:56:15.960 Maher.

00:56:17.840 Was RFK on

00:56:18.980 Russell Brand?

00:56:19.720 Oh yeah, I saw

00:56:20.200 that.

00:56:20.440 Was that good?

00:56:21.220 Did anybody see

00:56:21.820 RFK on Russell

00:56:22.800 Brand?

00:56:24.100 Has anybody

00:56:24.620 heard RFK

00:56:25.600 Juniors?

00:56:28.340 It was

00:56:28.960 awesome.

00:56:29.760 Has anybody

00:56:30.200 heard RFK

00:56:30.840 Juniors take

00:56:32.020 on fentanyl

00:56:33.040 or an updated

00:56:34.700 take on

00:56:35.160 nuclear?

00:56:35.480 He used to be

00:56:37.240 anti-nuclear,

00:56:37.880 nuclear, but

00:56:38.240 I'll bet

00:56:39.520 that's changed.

00:56:41.980 Well, why do

00:56:42.820 we never hear

00:56:43.300 those things?

00:56:44.320 Is it because

00:56:44.920 he doesn't

00:56:46.080 have an opinion

00:56:46.600 he wants out

00:56:47.240 there yet?

00:56:49.800 You think

00:56:50.460 he's still

00:56:50.820 anti-nuclear?

00:56:52.720 I'm going to

00:56:53.360 bet he's

00:56:53.780 not.

00:56:56.960 I'm going to

00:56:57.540 bet he's

00:56:57.920 not.

00:56:58.260 I'm going to

00:56:59.100 bet he's

00:57:00.040 not.

00:57:00.400 So here's a

00:57:08.360 little, let

00:57:09.840 me give you

00:57:10.140 a little

00:57:10.380 factoid about

00:57:11.220 how the

00:57:11.520 world works.

00:57:13.540 So I've

00:57:14.420 got a little

00:57:15.460 under a

00:57:16.280 million Twitter

00:57:17.660 followers,

00:57:18.720 which guarantees

00:57:19.700 that if I tweet

00:57:21.240 something that

00:57:22.980 has any impact,

00:57:23.860 that producers

00:57:26.960 of new

00:57:27.780 shows will

00:57:28.300 see it.

00:57:29.640 Then producers

00:57:30.400 and hosts

00:57:31.500 decide what to

00:57:32.680 put on their

00:57:33.100 new show,

00:57:33.680 and then that

00:57:34.360 could boost

00:57:34.860 it.

00:57:36.040 Now what you

00:57:36.600 might not

00:57:36.980 know is that

00:57:38.180 I get a lot

00:57:38.760 of my content

00:57:39.600 from people

00:57:40.860 with small

00:57:41.620 Twitter accounts

00:57:42.420 who send me

00:57:43.880 things they

00:57:44.320 think I'd be

00:57:44.820 interested in.

00:57:46.100 It happens

00:57:46.500 every day.

00:57:48.720 And some

00:57:49.340 of them are

00:57:49.880 really good at

00:57:50.660 knowing what I'd

00:57:51.200 be interested

00:57:51.600 in.

00:57:51.860 Jim Tomlinson,

00:57:54.760 for example,

00:57:56.200 Owen Gregorian.

00:57:58.400 So there's some

00:57:59.020 people who are

00:57:59.460 just really good

00:58:00.180 at knowing

00:58:01.280 what's going to

00:58:01.820 catch my

00:58:02.200 interest.

00:58:03.280 So it turns

00:58:03.840 out that those

00:58:04.700 small Twitter

00:58:06.080 accounts,

00:58:07.020 just regular

00:58:08.060 citizens who

00:58:08.880 just are

00:58:09.280 interested in

00:58:09.800 politics,

00:58:10.560 they can

00:58:11.240 influence me.

00:58:13.120 Then I've got

00:58:13.840 a million people

00:58:14.900 watching me.

00:58:16.540 Then I can

00:58:17.160 influence people

00:58:18.660 in the media

00:58:19.260 to, you

00:58:21.620 know,

00:58:21.860 alter their

00:58:22.960 opinions in

00:58:23.720 some small

00:58:24.380 way or have

00:58:25.340 new information,

00:58:26.260 let's say.

00:58:27.060 And then the

00:58:28.880 media boosts

00:58:30.000 that.

00:58:31.400 So we're in

00:58:32.400 this weird

00:58:33.040 world where,

00:58:34.940 actually,

00:58:35.520 this is one of

00:58:36.740 the reframes in

00:58:37.520 my Reframe Your

00:58:39.520 Brain book that's

00:58:40.820 going to come out

00:58:41.360 pretty soon,

00:58:42.320 maybe in a few

00:58:43.020 months.

00:58:43.440 We're just

00:58:43.980 finishing the

00:58:44.500 editing now.

00:58:45.900 But one of my

00:58:47.020 reframes is that

00:58:48.160 the person with

00:58:49.620 the best idea

00:58:50.380 is in charge.

00:58:51.080 We generally

00:58:53.040 think that the

00:58:53.860 person who's in

00:58:54.520 charge is in

00:58:55.160 charge, the

00:58:56.020 boss, right?

00:58:57.460 The president.

00:58:58.880 You think that

00:58:59.720 the people whose

00:59:00.860 job is boss or

00:59:03.160 their job is

00:59:04.060 leader, you

00:59:05.560 think they're in

00:59:06.060 charge.

00:59:07.120 But you've seen

00:59:08.120 it a million

00:59:08.500 times, right?

00:59:09.660 You'll see

00:59:10.080 somebody suggest

00:59:11.280 an idea that

00:59:12.100 just stops the

00:59:13.740 meeting, where

00:59:14.860 everybody in the

00:59:15.520 meeting says,

00:59:16.180 oh, yeah,

00:59:18.580 that's the smart

00:59:19.820 thing, we'll do

00:59:21.200 that thing.

00:59:22.600 And then everybody

00:59:23.340 says, yes, that's

00:59:24.080 smart, we'll do

00:59:24.700 that.

00:59:25.480 It doesn't matter

00:59:26.440 who had the

00:59:26.960 smart idea.

00:59:28.260 This is my

00:59:29.000 experience.

00:59:30.140 In my experience,

00:59:31.440 I can control any

00:59:32.880 room I'm in as

00:59:34.980 long as my ideas

00:59:35.920 are better than

00:59:36.460 the other people.

00:59:37.960 And they recognize

00:59:38.960 it.

00:59:39.340 I'd have to be able

00:59:40.000 to communicate it.

00:59:40.820 So we have a

00:59:42.640 completely false

00:59:44.440 impression of who

00:59:45.320 has power, ever.

00:59:48.240 It's always the

00:59:49.400 one with the best

00:59:50.020 idea, no matter

00:59:51.620 what their job

00:59:52.240 description is.

00:59:53.720 So you see that

00:59:55.160 in play with the

00:59:57.220 people sending me

00:59:58.420 stuff to influence

00:59:59.880 me.

01:00:00.520 If they do it

01:00:01.380 right, it does

01:00:02.160 influence me.

01:00:03.480 I'm absolutely

01:00:04.360 influenced by the

01:00:05.460 input of other

01:00:06.080 people.

01:00:06.720 And if they do

01:00:07.260 it well, like they

01:00:08.720 have an idea, oh,

01:00:09.980 I have an idea.

01:00:11.780 If I show this to

01:00:13.020 Scott, he's going

01:00:14.100 to recognize it as

01:00:14.960 a good idea, too.

01:00:16.680 And then he'll

01:00:17.180 talk about it, and

01:00:18.300 other people will

01:00:18.940 say, huh, well,

01:00:20.520 that sounded like a

01:00:21.240 good idea.

01:00:22.280 And then the next

01:00:22.940 thing you know, the

01:00:23.520 leaders are doing

01:00:24.120 it.

01:00:25.200 Now, you've seen

01:00:27.600 this over and

01:00:28.160 over.

01:00:29.260 Have any of you

01:00:30.100 seen me influence

01:00:32.400 anything that looked

01:00:33.380 like it turned

01:00:34.340 into some kind of a

01:00:35.320 policy conversation?

01:00:37.600 Has anybody seen

01:00:38.480 me do it?

01:00:39.980 I just wait for

01:00:41.940 the answers, because

01:00:42.580 I'm not sure what

01:00:43.120 you're going to say,

01:00:43.640 actually.

01:00:45.420 All right, so over

01:00:45.900 on Locals, I get a

01:00:46.880 lot of yeses, because

01:00:48.100 they're watching more

01:00:49.200 closely.

01:00:51.180 All right, and over

01:00:51.800 on YouTube, some

01:00:53.460 yeses, some people

01:00:54.360 saying many times.

01:00:56.840 Yeah, get out of

01:00:58.220 cities.

01:01:00.000 Right?

01:01:01.060 Telemedicine

01:01:01.540 example, right?

01:01:02.560 So you can see that

01:01:03.820 dynamic, right?

01:01:04.640 And I mention this to

01:01:06.720 empower all of you.

01:01:08.960 I guarantee there's

01:01:10.180 some situation you're

01:01:11.280 in, whether it's at

01:01:12.240 work or some group

01:01:14.280 you're in, if you have

01:01:15.780 the best idea, you're

01:01:17.560 in charge.

01:01:19.200 That's just how it

01:01:20.760 works.

01:01:21.800 It's never the person

01:01:22.700 whose job it is.

01:01:24.040 It's the best idea.

01:01:25.340 It always wins.

01:01:26.380 But it has to be

01:01:27.160 presented in a way that

01:01:28.420 people recognize it.

01:01:29.740 You know, it has to be

01:01:30.220 a high ground, clearly the

01:01:32.300 best idea, situation.

01:01:37.360 All right.

01:01:40.860 So you have more

01:01:41.760 power than you think.

01:01:44.720 I remember seeing, I've

01:01:46.480 told this story before,

01:01:47.460 but it's worth telling

01:01:48.040 again, there was some

01:01:49.660 politician who had

01:01:50.980 famously changed his

01:01:52.460 mind on a big policy.

01:01:54.980 And somebody asked him,

01:01:56.160 like, why did he

01:01:56.540 change his mind?

01:01:57.340 He said that he had

01:01:58.920 an avalanche of mail

01:02:00.080 asking him to change

01:02:01.800 his mind.

01:02:03.200 And then he described

01:02:04.300 the avalanche as two

01:02:05.400 letters.

01:02:07.060 There were two

01:02:07.900 citizens who wrote

01:02:09.420 him letters and they

01:02:10.360 wrote them well.

01:02:11.700 They wrote them well.

01:02:13.300 Right.

01:02:13.740 And also the importance

01:02:14.840 of writing it down.

01:02:16.540 The person who writes

01:02:17.600 it down the best,

01:02:19.940 whether it's in a

01:02:20.620 PowerPoint or a

01:02:21.660 tweet, the person who

01:02:22.940 writes it the best also

01:02:24.040 has the power, because

01:02:25.020 that's similar to having

01:02:26.220 the best idea.

01:02:26.840 So that was two people

01:02:31.820 who wrote letters and

01:02:32.820 changed the government.

01:02:34.000 I've told you cryptically

01:02:36.500 a story from my youth in

01:02:38.580 which I wrote a letter to

01:02:39.860 my senator in California

01:02:42.840 at the time.

01:02:43.600 I'm in my 20s.

01:02:44.780 I'm just a guy in a

01:02:45.860 cubicle.

01:02:47.040 And I write a letter to a

01:02:48.100 senator saying I need

01:02:49.820 something changed in the

01:02:50.940 government.

01:02:52.120 And he changed it.

01:02:54.660 Like right away.

01:02:56.120 It wasn't even a delay.

01:02:57.800 He wrote a letter to the

01:02:59.180 FDA and said, what the

01:03:00.520 hell is going on?

01:03:01.320 And they immediately

01:03:02.140 responded and gave me

01:03:03.480 what I wanted.

01:03:06.180 And the reason was that

01:03:07.840 my letter was persuasive.

01:03:09.620 It was stuff that the

01:03:10.660 senator didn't know.

01:03:12.480 And when the senator

01:03:13.240 found out, or the staff,

01:03:14.620 might have been just the

01:03:15.340 staff, they said, oh,

01:03:16.720 that makes sense.

01:03:17.580 Let's look into this.

01:03:19.140 That's a good question.

01:03:21.280 So you have way more

01:03:23.640 power every single day of

01:03:26.100 your life than you can

01:03:27.280 ever conceive.

01:03:29.540 Right?

01:03:30.180 One good opinion changes

01:03:32.400 the world.

01:03:33.740 Always has, and always

01:03:35.420 will.

01:03:36.320 One good opinion.

01:03:42.600 Yes, we talked about

01:03:43.920 Peggy Noonan and her

01:03:47.240 excellent article about

01:03:48.780 Trump, which was right

01:03:50.240 right on point, I think.

01:03:54.920 All right.

01:03:56.340 That's all I've got for you,

01:03:57.640 YouTube.

01:03:58.280 I will talk to you
