Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2109 Scott Adams： Trump & Suburban Women, Anti-White Movement Pushback, Freedom Crappers

00:00:00.000 Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of civilization, which looks a little

00:00:09.440 bit less lighted than usual, but I think I could deal with that today.

00:00:13.420 If you would like your day to be the most amazing, amazing day in all the history of

00:00:18.400 days, all you need this day is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,

00:00:24.420 a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like

00:00:30.800 coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the

00:00:35.020 day, the thing that makes everything better. You can probably feel your oxytocin starting

00:00:39.200 to come online, can't you? Can't you? Yeah, this is called the simultaneous sip. Happens

00:00:44.740 now, and it's the best thing that's ever happened. Go.

00:00:47.020 Ah. And may I say happy 65th birthday to, to, I didn't catch the name, but one of you

00:00:59.940 is having a 65th birthday today. So happy birthday. Senior citizen, welcome to the club. Well, we

00:01:10.620 got news all over the place. Dave Chappelle made a surprise stand-up visit in San

00:01:16.960 Francisco and he was a little distressed to find out what had happened to his, what he

00:01:22.520 calls his second home, San Francisco. Apparently he was going into a restaurant and as he was

00:01:29.120 walking into the restaurant, there was a, one of the freedom grappers was defecating in front 0.94

00:01:35.560 of the restaurant. Now, I don't know about you, but that does not, that does not help my

00:01:42.420 dining experience. I'll tell, let me tell you something I learned owning a couple of

00:01:47.000 restaurants. The restaurant business is very, let's say, different from what you imagine

00:01:54.060 it would be in terms of how people conceive it as customers. People don't really go to

00:02:00.000 a restaurant for just the food. Obviously, they can buy food somewhere else. It's an experience.

00:02:05.800 And so one of the things that you find is that one of the most important criteria for whether

00:02:12.320 someone likes a restaurant is the lighting. I've told you that before. Very, it's very

00:02:18.160 non-obvious. If you get the lighting right, people will like being in your restaurant. If

00:02:24.520 you get it wrong, it makes everybody look ugly. So your date will look a little less attractive.

00:02:29.840 You'll look a little less attractive. You know, if you have down light, that makes everybody

00:02:34.580 look less good. But if you have nice accent lights and, you know, orangey lights and stuff,

00:02:40.080 everybody looks good. So I can't imagine what it does to your, excuse me, dining experience

00:02:47.780 to walk past a freedom grapper. Now, if you don't know, in the old days, they used to call

00:02:56.580 people the homeless. Now, they used to, in the old, old days, the people who did not

00:03:01.660 live indoors were called hobos or bums. And that was pretty bad, right? Hobos and bums, 0.72

00:03:09.140 very degrading. So the left wanted to turn that into homeless because homeless is more of 0.74

00:03:16.900 an objective statement. It's not an insult. They just don't have a home. But then it turned

00:03:22.220 into, it wasn't so much the people who didn't have a home, because most of them had options.

00:03:28.800 But rather, they chose to be outside. They chose the freedom of the streets. And so we've

00:03:36.520 evolved from bums and hobos to the homeless. Then I think there was the unhoused, right?

00:03:43.620 They weren't homeless because they didn't want homes. They were just unhoused. But I think

00:03:49.500 we could do a little bit better than that. I think, as one of the locals' folks suggested,

00:03:56.840 that they should be called the freedom grappers. Because they can crap anywhere. Sort of the 0.99

00:04:03.860 ultimate freedom. So I say, don't judge it until you try it. But Dave Chappelle seems to

00:04:11.720 be a little unhappy about what happened. He thinks the whole place turned into the tenderloin.

00:04:19.500 Which doesn't mean anything to you unless you know San Francisco. To say that the whole

00:04:23.640 city turned into the tenderloin is a really bad insult to the city. But Dave Chappelle

00:04:29.620 at least has a suggestion. You know, a lot of people complain about things. But rarely

00:04:36.920 does anybody have a productive suggestion. And finally, Dave Chappelle has a good suggestion

00:04:43.180 for fixing San Francisco. He says, what you need is Batman. Batman. Okay, well, that's maybe

00:04:54.320 less practical than I was hoping. But he does have a suggestion. At least it's a suggestion.

00:05:01.260 All right. I asked Bard the AI a little bit more about me to see if it thought I was a good person

00:05:13.580 or a bad person. And it said a few things about me. Let's see. Adams has been criticized for his

00:05:21.100 views on race and ethnicity. Whoa. That's what Bard AI thinks of me. I've been criticized about my views

00:05:30.300 on race and ethnicity. My God, what is it that I've said? Well, let's read on. In 2020, he said on Twitter

00:05:37.100 that the Dilbert TV show was canceled because he was white. And UPN had decided to focus on 0.53

00:05:43.960 African-American audience on Monday night. Not every night. But on the night that my show was on,

00:05:50.800 they decided to do an all-black comedy block, a black block, which is a perfectly good business 1.00

00:06:01.400 idea in terms of business. You know, you like people to tune in and then stay where they tuned

00:06:07.600 in. That was the old business model anyway. So it made sense to have an African-American comedy night.

00:06:13.120 Unfortunately, that was my night when my show was on. So I got moved. And when you move a show

00:06:18.320 out of its time slot, there's a long history where that pretty much kills a show. That's a well-understood

00:06:24.720 phenomenon. So somehow that is the example given of why I was criticized for my views on race.

00:06:32.560 What was my view? Was there any opinion in that? That was just a statement of fact which nobody

00:06:40.900 disagrees with. Nobody disagrees that UPN started a black comedy block on Monday night where my show

00:06:49.560 was running. That's not, there's no controversy to that. Is there? And I, did I say that there was

00:06:56.860 anything illegal or wrong or immoral or unethical about UPN wanting an all-black comedy night? I don't

00:07:04.720 have any problem with that at all. It was actually seemed like a good business idea. It just wasn't

00:07:09.240 good for me. So that's, so that's, but then he goes more, goes on, says he, meaning me, has also been

00:07:18.020 criticized for his support of Donald Trump. Wait a minute. Is that something about being criticized for

00:07:24.220 views on race and ethnicity? Somehow that got lumped in there? Uh, and his views on white

00:07:30.540 nationalism? Wait, what? What? My views on white nationalism? Have I ever expressed a positive

00:07:43.440 view about white nationalism? Ever? Even once? Am I the guy who has ever said that America is

00:07:52.640 better with just white people in it or stop any additional non-white? Never. I'm the most 1.00

00:07:59.460 annoyingly pro-immigration person you know. At least, you know, who has an audience that's 0.62

00:08:06.400 right-leaning. There's nobody with a right-leaning audience who's more pro-immigration than I am.

00:08:11.160 That's just a fact. Right? Name anybody. Name anybody. In fact, I'm probably as pro-immigration

00:08:18.640 as the left. It's just, I think, you have to do some smart stuff too. You can't just never do smart

00:08:23.980 stuff. You have to do some smart stuff, you know, at the same time. But do you see the problem with

00:08:32.280 Bard and AI? This is clearly just picking up a leftist, biased, bigoted view. Bard is just a racist.

00:08:42.640 Could you conclude from this answer that Bard is a racist? What do you think? I would say yes. To 0.77

00:08:51.160 me, this looks clearly racist. Very anti-white, basically. Yeah. Now, I don't think it's the 0.60

00:08:59.500 end of the world. We'll probably, you know, clean it up and maybe it'll get better. But, oh my

00:09:06.540 God, the fact that we built an advanced intelligence and then we ruined it by making it like people.

00:09:11.620 We ruined it by making it like people. It'll never be smart. We'll never let it be smart.

00:09:21.380 So, well, keep an eye on that. Here's some CNN biased news. I forget who wrote it, some opinion

00:09:33.800 piece, I think. And it's talking about whether the so-called Biden crime family has committed

00:09:43.820 any actual crimes. And you may have missed this because it was a surprise to me. But the article

00:09:52.440 said that even the Republicans, even the Republicans have not accused Joe Biden of a crime. Is that

00:10:00.100 true? I think it is true, right? There's no actual specific crime. No, Joe Biden. Joe Biden. I'm not

00:10:07.520 talking about Hunter. Hunter Biden has specific crimes. But Joe Biden is not accused of a specific

00:10:14.600 crime, is he? And then I thought, I'm not aware of one. Because, well, bribery is a suspicion.

00:10:23.420 Right? Bribery is a suspicion. But it's short of an accusation because there's not a direct, you know,

00:10:32.800 it's not in context. I'll give you that the evidence strongly suggests something unethical going on.

00:10:44.940 But if you can't tie that unethical behavior to, let's say, a policy change and prove it, it's

00:10:53.440 kind of short of a crime, isn't it? It's just something you wish would not be happening, which

00:10:58.300 is different. So that was interesting. But, and maybe that's good for us, if it helps your bias

00:11:05.640 at all. But here's something it said that this is just such a head shaker. CNN, in this least

00:11:16.100 opinion piece, wanted to make a comparison to the Biden family having lots of shell companies

00:11:22.920 whose businesses are unclear. And the accusation is that these, all these companies are set up

00:11:30.700 just to make it harder to see that money is flowing from foreign entities to the Biden family

00:11:36.200 pockets. Now, that is being compared to Trump also having lots of, what did they say? Opaque

00:11:45.760 business deals invite suspicion. So that's, they're admitting that the opacity or the fact

00:11:52.440 that you can't see what's going on in the Biden family businesses always makes people suspicious.

00:11:58.560 Just, hey, we can't tell what's going on in there. But they compared that, but they said,

00:12:03.180 but it's a little strange to see Republicans who defend Trump's business, which is divided into

00:12:09.140 scores of companies, now attack the Bidens.

00:12:16.020 Have I ever mentioned that argument by analogy is not persuasive? Now, correct me if I'm wrong.

00:12:25.360 Let me do a little fact check on this. Is it not the case that the Biden companies,

00:12:32.140 the number of companies they've created, have no known business? And that's the whole point,

00:12:38.220 that there's no known legitimate business. There might be, but it's not, it's not, you know,

00:12:43.760 we're not aware of it. Whereas the Trump businesses, and there were hundreds of them,

00:12:49.460 every single one of them has a specific line of business and a revenue and a cost structure.

00:12:55.600 Every one of them. That's completely different. That's closer to the opposite, right? One is an

00:13:04.040 example of setting up businesses to do business, perfectly acceptable, no matter how many you do.

00:13:11.240 In fact, that's the smart way to do it, because you don't want any one of those businesses to be a

00:13:15.900 problem and crash the other business. Whereas Bidens don't have any, any actual business purpose to

00:13:23.440 their businesses that we know of. Could be, just we don't know of them. But so if you're, if you're,

00:13:31.540 let's say, a casual reader of CNN, wouldn't you read this as Trump is just as sketchy as the Biden

00:13:39.800 family? That doesn't that read that way to you? Oh, they both have these, these, a whole bunch of

00:13:46.760 companies. Oh, oh, they both have a whole bunch of companies, don't they? Well, I guess that's just

00:13:53.440 something rich people do. They just all have a bunch of companies. No, they don't all have a bunch

00:13:59.440 of companies that aren't doing any business. That's not the same. All right. Rasmussen poll on Trump.

00:14:09.240 And his legal problems. So 58% of likely us U.S. voters believe that Trump will get criminal

00:14:20.660 charges. So 58% of voters think he will be charged criminally while he's at the, at the moment

00:14:29.440 leading in the polls. So according to, I think it's Washington Post ABC poll, Trump is seven points

00:14:35.480 said of Biden in the general election. Seven points is quite a bit, isn't it? You know, now,

00:14:42.500 obviously that always tightens up toward election day, but it feels like a pretty healthy lead if

00:14:49.820 that's a valid poll. All right. Back to Rasmussen, though. 44% of likely voters think Trump is being

00:14:59.600 investigated because of actual crimes that he has committed. Well, 50% believe the government is

00:15:06.320 just trying to stop Trump from running for president. Now, we often look for signals that the country is in

00:15:15.020 trouble because that's sort of how Americans act. Oh, no, we're all falling apart. The Republic is

00:15:21.620 falling apart. This or that signal are telling us everything's falling apart. But here's a pretty

00:15:28.980 strong flashing signal that 50% of the voters, the likely voters, think the government is trying to

00:15:36.940 stop a legitimate candidate for president with a bogus Department of Justice action. 50%. Half of the

00:15:47.460 country thinks the country is corrupt in a really fundamental way, because that would be as corrupt

00:15:54.860 as you could get. That'd be like the peak of corruptness, peak of corruption, let's say, to actually

00:16:02.300 stop a legal candidate for running for president. You can't get much more corrupt than that. That's

00:16:09.220 sort of the pinnacle. But that's where we are. How many voters do you think believe Trump will

00:16:19.200 actually be sentenced to prison? How many think he will be sentenced? Oh, good guess. You're very close.

00:16:26.760 28%. Yeah, your guesses were very close. Very smart. Yeah. 28% think you'll be sentenced to prison.

00:16:37.120 So that means that 28% of the people are either wishful thinking, might be wishful thinking,

00:16:44.100 or they believe that when he talked to the Georgia, what was the phone call in Georgia where he said,

00:16:50.840 you only need to find so many votes, 28% think that you could go to jail for using the word find

00:16:58.060 if someone else determines that the word find means make up. That would be the case. You'd have to

00:17:07.800 convince a jury that when somebody said find in the context of believing that the election had not

00:17:14.080 been properly counted, that what he really secretly meant, and everybody knew it, was just make up some

00:17:20.320 votes and that'll be fine. Like, that's going to work. Like, do you think that Trump believed that

00:17:27.340 Georgia could just make up some votes and that that would fly? And that you'd just go into office 1.00

00:17:34.620 and nobody'd have a problem with that? Oh, no. Yeah, we just changed the vote by adding a bunch of votes

00:17:40.920 for Trump, and now he really won. There's nothing to see here. Do you really think that Trump was so dumb

00:17:49.300 that he thought he could ask them in a phone call where people are listening, so it's basically 0.99

00:17:55.900 public or will be soon, that he could just tell them to find some, you know, make up some votes and

00:18:03.220 that he could get into office and he would stay there and that would all be good? No, there's literally

00:18:10.300 nobody that dumb. To imagine that Trump is the only one in the world who would be dumb enough to think 1.00

00:18:17.060 that he could say in front of witnesses, just pretend the election didn't matter and make me up some votes 0.99

00:18:23.500 and that would just fly through. And that he, like a real living, a living human being with experience in

00:18:30.400 the world would believe that that would work. It's ridiculous. Of course he didn't think that. 0.98

00:18:38.400 Now, I'm not a mind reader, but it would be true that literally no one would say that.

00:18:47.180 No one. Not Trump, not anybody. There's no one who would say that in front of witnesses.

00:18:52.160 Go get me some fake votes. Especially with this much scrutiny. The entire world was looking at

00:19:00.420 Georgia. Everybody was looking at it. And they already had a result. Do you think nobody would

00:19:06.820 notice if they changed the result to the opposite of the result? Nobody's going to look into that a

00:19:11.640 little bit? How in the world would Trump imagine that that could have worked? All right. In your

00:19:17.360 criminal, suspicious mind, how do you imagine that he thought that plan was going to work?

00:19:23.020 Of course that wasn't his plan. Do you know what kind of plan would work really well?

00:19:29.400 Here's a plan that would work really well. Make sure you've counted all the votes.

00:19:36.140 There's a plan people would believe. Yeah, we looked and we found some votes. It's transparent. We can

00:19:42.460 show you. Here are these bags. We didn't count these. Now we're going to count them.

00:19:47.360 The only way that Trump's phone call could have produced anything for Trump is if it had

00:19:55.700 gone through a legal process and everybody knew it. Everybody knew the one and only path was if

00:20:02.880 it was totally legal. And to imagine that 28% of our citizens have been persuaded that that was an

00:20:11.480 actual criminal plan that couldn't have worked. It's like the insurrection on January 6th.

00:20:19.820 Were they going to conquer the country by taking over some real estate? One building? Who thought that

00:20:26.580 was going to work? Were the Joint Chiefs of Staff going to just hand over the control? Oh, they got our

00:20:32.460 building. There's a bunch of unarmed people standing in a building. I guess we better give them the keys to

00:20:38.300 the nukes. Literally, no one thought that was an insurrection. Who was actually there? Yeah.

00:20:45.560 So, but once again, this one quarter of the country or this 28% will actually believe anything.

00:20:53.720 25% of the country will believe anything. Just anything. All right. So there's some dispute

00:21:05.660 about Tucker's being removed from his show on Fox, not technically fired. But apparently

00:21:13.100 Carlson is being reported, told a member of the networks was told. So this is from Tucker

00:21:20.300 Carlson, apparently. He's reporting that a member of the network's board of directors,

00:21:24.300 Fox News board of directors, told them that he was taken off the air as part of Fox News settlement

00:21:29.800 with Dominion. Do you believe that? Do you believe that Tucker was taken off the air as part of the

00:21:38.160 settlement with Dominion? Now, Dominion says they never asked for that. And Fox News has officially

00:21:46.540 said absolutely not. That was not part of the negotiations. Now, I believe it was not part

00:21:52.360 of any written negotiations. Because I don't think they would give a blanket no if it was discoverable.

00:22:02.340 You know, I'm sure it's all non-disclosure situation, but that stuff always comes out. So I would guess

00:22:08.020 that that's true. That it's not written down. But does that mean it wasn't part of it?

00:22:15.000 I would say it wasn't. I'm leaning toward it wasn't. And the reason is,

00:22:21.840 yeah, I don't think it was.

00:22:25.860 Because you would have to write that down. So that's the sort of thing that nobody would take

00:22:34.280 on a handshake. Because you wouldn't want to agree, let's say you're Dominion. You wouldn't 0.99

00:22:40.000 want to say, all right, I'll cut my, what I'm asking in half, or whatever the settlement was.

00:22:45.460 In return, part of what you're going to do is get rid of Tucker Carlson. But then not ask them to

00:22:50.980 write that down. Because you could settle the thing, and then Fox News could say, ah,

00:22:55.340 change your mind, we're going to keep them. And then the settlement would be done.

00:22:59.660 There's no lawyer that would let you not write that down.

00:23:03.460 Nobody's going to make a deal of that size with a component that's a handshake. It's just all going

00:23:08.960 to be written down, or it doesn't count. So I think that Fox News would not give an outright

00:23:16.260 denial if, in fact, it would ever be discoverable in anybody's paperwork that it was, it was false.

00:23:24.060 So, but that does open up the possibility that it was part of, let's say, a suggested

00:23:30.880 outcome. Like, maybe if I told you that there's no chance that Tucker will be on the air again,

00:23:40.800 maybe if I told you that, you'd be a little more likely to, you know, negotiate a settlement.

00:23:46.260 You can't guarantee it. You know, we can't put it in writing. But between us, yeah, this

00:23:55.140 is going to happen. Maybe. Yeah, so, and you have to weigh that against the fact that Tucker

00:24:00.560 is not a liar. There's no history of Tucker being a liar that I've ever heard. You know,

00:24:06.300 people argue that he's wrong. But I've never heard anybody say he lied. Have you? I've never

00:24:12.640 even heard it. I've never even heard that accusation. So I think I would rule that out. So I think

00:24:20.300 that it's possible both of them are telling the truth, meaning that it's not part of the

00:24:26.900 deal in terms of being written down. But it might have been discussed. It might have been

00:24:33.640 discussed. And it might have been discussed enough that both sides knew what was going to

00:24:39.420 happen, but they didn't have to write it down. Maybe. So I feel like maybe the stories are

00:24:48.240 not incompatible. It might be just the difference of what's written and what's not written.

00:24:52.700 Anyway, speaking of lawsuits, do you remember when there was the Biden administration had the

00:25:03.600 Ministry of Truth? Do you remember the brief Ministry of Truth? That's what the critics called it.

00:25:11.520 What it was supposed to be is a disinformation organization that would help get rid of foreign 1.00

00:25:18.900 disinformation. But it quickly, you know, the Fox News opinion people turned it into the Office

00:25:25.600 of Disinformation or something. But now the woman who was in that job and quit because of all the 1.00

00:25:32.400 pressure is suing. So apparently she was mentioned by name 300 times by Fox News. And she says she was

00:25:42.320 mischaracterized that her job was not to stop, you know, free speech, but rather to stop disinformation

00:25:50.940 from foreign sources and stuff. Now, I don't know if there's a difference in opinion there, because I

00:25:59.420 feel like the opinion people were saying, yeah, that's what you say your job is. But we know it's going

00:26:05.960 to drift into this other domain of just censoring Americans. So I don't know if there's really a

00:26:12.080 difference in fact, but there might be a difference in at least how she was portrayed.

00:26:20.640 So she's suing. So it turns out that the only thing that matters is lawfare. Like we are so far

00:26:30.300 from a world where citizens, you know, become informed and vote and that's how we do government.

00:26:37.300 There's nothing like that happening. It's basically, it's a legal battle, you know, of who can change

00:26:43.720 the voting laws and, you know, what kind of ballots you can use and then stuff like this. You know,

00:26:50.540 if Fox News gets sued out of business, which looks like it might be the plan, the plan might be to just

00:26:57.700 sue them out of business if you get enough of these. Then this gigantic voice for, you know,

00:27:05.880 half of the country or so, 40% of the country would be removed. And that would change the election

00:27:11.960 outcome. If Fox News stopped operating tomorrow, don't you think that would change election outcomes?

00:27:19.600 I do. I think it would change them a lot. So we don't really have a government that's run by anything

00:27:26.080 like voting or informed citizenry or republic. None of that. It's basically just lawyers fighting

00:27:34.560 and then we find out how they did. Oh, yay, our lawyers beat their lawyers this year. Let's play

00:27:41.720 again in four years. All right, lawyers, get going. Yeah, it's just a legal contest. And the voting is

00:27:50.320 just ridiculous at this point. Although I still recommend it. All right. Vivek Ramaswamy making some

00:27:59.520 news on a few policy things. Now, this one is interesting. He wants to consider raising the voting

00:28:06.820 age to 25, but make exceptions for young adults who fulfill some kind of a service requirement. So that

00:28:15.120 can include six months in the military or a first responder role. Or the third one is pass a civics

00:28:22.480 test administered to naturalized immigrants, which is really clever. You have to be at least as smart as 1.00

00:28:29.360 foreigners to vote in America. Well, actually, they would not be foreigners because they would be 1.00

00:28:34.800 naturalized at the point of taking the test. So they would be our beloved residents. So if you did not,

00:28:42.420 if you couldn't pass the test to become a resident, and you're under 25, you can't vote.

00:28:51.140 Now, I have two feelings about this plan. Number one, it's brilliant. Would you agree? It would

00:28:58.900 absolutely make the country a better run place. It would make our votes more rational. Right. So as an idea,

00:29:07.700 it's solid, which Vivek Ramaswamy is, he has now created a body of work where you can see that

00:29:15.780 every time he enters a topic, he comes with some good ideas. However, I feel like this one doesn't

00:29:24.260 have a chance. Because if you have fewer young voters, you have fewer democratic voters. And that's

00:29:30.340 the end of the conversation. Am I wrong? There's no way you could put, there's no way you're going to get

00:29:37.220 away with putting on restrictions, restrictions on mostly Democrats. That's not going to happen. No, it

00:29:46.180 would never pass any kind of, you know, if it got to the Supreme Court, I can't imagine it working. Can you?

00:29:52.740 I don't even know if it's legal. I don't even know if you could make such a rule. Seems to me you

00:30:00.340 either can vote or you can't vote. You know, there's an argument to be made that either make

00:30:06.980 everybody, make everybody pass that test, which is not a terrible idea. I've often said you should

00:30:14.260 have an IQ, sort of a general IQ test that's just about politics, you know, not about math or whatever,

00:30:20.100 just politics. And then find out who the people who can pass the test favor. Wouldn't you like to

00:30:29.380 know who the smart people want as their leaders? The smart people would be the ones who can pass the

00:30:35.140 test. And they know enough about politics that, you know, their opinion has some some weight,

00:30:40.820 some weight that's deserved. Yeah. So I don't think this plan has a chance, but I'm going to evaluate

00:30:47.620 him the way I would evaluate Trump. I'm going to evaluate as a political strategy. So as a law,

00:30:56.260 no chance whatsoever. As a political strategy,

00:31:02.420 I don't know, popular for the base. I liked it. You probably liked it. It just doesn't have a chance.

00:31:09.620 But I don't mind that he brought it up. The fact that he brought it up is both reasonable

00:31:16.180 and it shows his thinking. And his thinking was solid. It's just not politically, doesn't have

00:31:22.500 much chance. But in terms of positioning who he is, and for us to understand the, let's say,

00:31:29.060 the boldness of his ideas, and that they're all based on science and data, it does a good job of that.

00:31:36.260 It does a good job of showing that he's data driven. It's just that it's too political. There's

00:31:44.260 no chance. All right. Also making news against, once again, talking about using the military to take

00:31:52.180 on the cartels. Everybody knows that would not be a complete solution to fentanyl. Maybe not any

00:31:59.460 solution at all. But you still have to do it. Now, anybody who says, but Scott, that will not

00:32:05.620 change the number of people who die of fentanyl whatsoever. I say, so? So? If somebody murders you,

00:32:16.260 you don't say, well, they only murdered one person. If you put this person in jail, you know,

00:32:23.140 they went their whole life and only murdered one person. If you put them in jail, is that really

00:32:28.180 going to stop any murders? Because really, they murdered one person their whole life. It was

00:32:32.980 a special case. It's not going to happen again. So why put them in jail? Right? It's not going to

00:32:39.060 stop any future murders. That's how I think of the cartels. I don't care how many future fentanyl

00:32:46.180 overdoses, it changes. Maybe none. But they all need to be killed. Because that's just the

00:32:57.460 way it has to be. I'm not even going to give you an argument. If you're in the business of killing

00:33:04.980 my people, you're going to fucking die. I don't care what the law is. I don't care what the 1.00

00:33:12.100 precedent is. I don't care what the ramifications are. I don't care if it helps the process or not.

00:33:18.100 If you're killing my people, you're going to fucking die. And if it takes Ramaswami to do it, 1.00

00:33:24.260 I'm all in. Vivek is also the only one who's saying, I don't know if I've ever heard a presidential

00:33:33.220 candidate say this. Maybe you can do a fact check. Or maybe it happened in the 60s or something. But

00:33:39.300 when was the last time a candidate said he wanted to get rid of affirmative action? Has that ever been

00:33:46.900 a thing? And by the way, just to be clear, historically, I have favored affirmative action.

00:33:56.180 Because I think we needed some kind of a big hammer to get things a little closer to even.

00:34:04.180 But at the moment, I think it's counterproductive. If I were a black college graduate, and I was

00:34:10.340 looking for a job, I would not want anybody to think I didn't get there on merit. I would want

00:34:15.940 everybody to think. College news. So, Larry Elder, maybe. Yeah, Larry Elder. I don't know if he wanted

00:34:23.940 to get rid of it, or he was just against it. There's a slight difference there. But I do appreciate

00:34:32.100 Vivek being in the conversation on that. Yeah, I think we're at the point where affirmative action

00:34:38.100 at the moment hurts more than it helps. But I do think there was a long period where it probably

00:34:44.900 helped more than it hurt, even though it hurt a number of people. All right. RFK Jr. on nuclear

00:34:53.940 energy. I still, I haven't seen his most updated opinion, but I'm hearing from good sources that he's

00:35:01.860 still anti-nuclear energy. But I don't want to characterize his opinion too much, because I'm

00:35:08.900 a little, I'm a little, let's say, under-informed. But this is his biggest problem, I think. Would you agree?

00:35:20.100 RFK Jr.'s biggest problem is nuclear. Because I don't think he can win enough votes on the right

00:35:29.060 to win in a general election unless he's pro-nuclear energy.

00:35:36.100 And I don't know if he can win on the left if he's pro-nuclear energy.

00:35:40.100 But I do think that he's persuasive enough that he could change the left to have a more, let's say,

00:35:49.700 a better risk-reward opinion of nuclear. And so what the world needs is a public debate or conversation

00:36:01.780 between RFK Jr., because I respect that he's a good communicator. I'd like to see a really

00:36:08.260 well-informed, good communicator who is anti-nuclear energy. Or at least, I don't know if anti is the

00:36:15.380 right word. So again, I don't want to characterize his opinion. But it's not a super pro-nuclear energy.

00:36:23.140 I think he needs to have a public conversation with Michael Schellenberger. Don't you?

00:36:30.420 Just think how much that would help the country. Because here's what those two people have in common.

00:36:36.180 As far as you know, they don't lie to you. They don't lie to you. And they know what they're talking

00:36:44.900 about at a deeper level than people generally know anything. Now, neither of them are scientists,

00:36:54.260 but I think they're both close enough to what the argument is that they can represent them.

00:36:58.740 So I don't think there's anything that the United States needs more than a public conversation between

00:37:06.340 Michael Schellenberger and RFK Jr. on the topic of nuclear energy. Wouldn't you agree? It's like it's

00:37:14.260 a screaming need. Because if it turns out that RFK Jr. has some good points that I'm not aware of,

00:37:20.580 I want to hear him. He might have a good point. You know, I'm actually, I have enough respect for his

00:37:29.620 intellectual capacity and his honesty that if he had a different opinion than I do,

00:37:36.180 I would first assume that he was well informed. Second, I would be, I would assume he's trying to

00:37:42.020 figure out what's good for the country. You know, he's not trying to make a buck somehow. And I would listen

00:37:47.060 to it. And if he had a good argument, maybe he could persuade me. But he has, he has the credibility,

00:37:53.220 at least going into it. But Schellenberger has that too. Schellenberger has a long history of being

00:37:59.460 credible and not being a partisan. So those are the two you want to hear talk. I hope that happens.

00:38:07.220 All right. What else is going on? Two, two black guys are getting in trouble in the news.

00:38:17.060 For not being anti-white enough. So I'm wondering if this is going to be a thing now. 0.81

00:38:24.420 So two prominent black leaders, and I'll tell you the details, are both in trouble today

00:38:31.300 from critics for not being anti-white. That's like a real thing. So the first one is in Virginia.

00:38:40.660 So Martin Brown, who's taking over the DEI department, I guess. And instead of chasing equity,

00:38:49.940 he wants to go for merit and equality. And he's a black man. And he's getting lots of pushback.

00:38:58.900 Because he wants merit instead of your race to determine your outcomes. And he's getting pushback.

00:39:10.980 So this is one of those Doug Youngkin, the new governor's plays to take out DEI. So we'll see.

00:39:17.940 We'll see how that goes. So the only thing, even the NAACP is calling on Mr. Brown to resign.

00:39:28.180 Because he wants merit over these other things.

00:39:34.100 All right. Also, Mayor Adams, Eric Adams, no relationship to me that I know of, was at some law school,

00:39:46.180 I guess, graduation commencement address. And a number of the students turned their backs on him.

00:39:51.660 And here's their complaint. On the issue of Daniel Penny, the Marine, who's white,

00:39:59.180 who controlled the black, mentally disturbed guy on the subway. 0.73

00:40:06.300 And the black guy died later. We don't know exactly the details of what made him die. 0.95

00:40:11.660 But Eric Adams, because he's a legitimate leader, like an actual leader, not just a pretend one,

00:40:19.980 said you should wait to see the details before you make up your mind.

00:40:26.220 Basically, he supported innocent until proven guilty.

00:40:29.740 And a bunch of lawyers turned their back on him. Just hold that in your mind.

00:40:35.980 He supported innocent until proven guilty.

00:40:40.060 And lawyers, lawyers turned their back on him for supporting innocent until proven guilty.

00:40:47.660 Every one of the people who turned their back on him, they should have their degrees just

00:40:53.500 yanked away. Not really, but I feel like that's a real bad look for the law school.

00:41:00.620 I forget what law school it is. But if you're producing lawyers who don't agree with the concept

00:41:05.180 of innocent until proven guilty, as long as it's a white person who's involved,

00:41:09.340 I'm sorry. You're not going to be my lawyer. That's for sure.

00:41:16.860 So, but maybe this is the thing. Maybe there are black leaders who have decided not to be anti-white,

00:41:24.540 and maybe you'll see more of it. Because, you know, both of them still have their jobs.

00:41:29.900 So they haven't been run out of town for not being anti-white enough. They're just getting criticism.

00:41:35.820 So maybe it's safe. So again, big props to Mayor Adams. Now, I don't agree with him on everything he

00:41:44.300 does, of course, but that's true of all politicians. But good work on this. You know, sticking to the

00:41:50.540 Constitution. So there's a big controversy whether Trump can win over suburban women. 1.00

00:41:56.860 That's his big problem. Especially because he's a pussy grabbing insulter of women. And to me, 1.00

00:42:07.820 this is like a fascinating question. Because on one hand, it's hard to change a whole demographic

00:42:15.420 group that's against you to be for you. On the other hand, if anybody could do it, it would be Trump.

00:42:23.740 I don't think he will do it. But he might be the only one who could. And I was trying to think,

00:42:32.380 is there any way he could pull that off? He's always going to have abortion working against him.

00:42:38.540 But he's taken that clever view that it's not his opinion of abortion that matters. He wants the

00:42:45.580 individuals to work it out at the state level. That's a pretty strong constitutional argument.

00:42:50.700 It just isn't persuasive, though. I mean, it's rational. It's just not persuasive.

00:42:56.380 So it might decrease a little bit the hatred that people have over that issue. But it's not

00:43:01.660 going to help him that much. So is there anything he could do? What could Trump do that would win him

00:43:11.660 as suburban women? 0.99

00:43:15.340 They do like safety, but it hasn't made a difference yet, right? We haven't seen that shift yet,

00:43:21.500 and you think you would have seen it. Because certainly, the news is doing a good job of

00:43:25.580 telling you that everything is dangerous. I mean, everybody knows that crime is up. Everybody knows

00:43:30.460 that the freedom crappers numbers are growing. So crime doesn't seem to be able to get it done.

00:43:39.180 What about fentanyl? What about fentanyl?

00:43:45.900 Now, he said he'd be willing to use the military on Mexico as well. But do you think suburban women 1.00

00:43:53.580 care about that, or even think that would make a difference? Probably not. I don't think suburban

00:43:58.780 women are big on using the military to take out anybody, are they? Do suburban women usually vote for war? 1.00

00:44:06.780 Probably not. Probably not. Probably not. So what is it that suburban women need and want

00:44:16.620 that, theoretically, Trump could offer them that would make a difference? Wine. Free wine. Kids.

00:44:25.980 Yeah, the more protecting kids, but that hasn't made a difference yet.

00:44:31.740 Education, yes, but it hasn't made a difference yet. So I don't, here's what I think. I think that

00:44:39.500 women can't get past the, oh, this is gonna sound really sexist. But I think this would apply to men 0.95

00:44:47.340 as well. So I think this will be less sexist than it sounds, because it would apply to men as well,

00:44:53.020 just in their own different way. I believe that people support candidates if they're not super

00:45:01.100 political people, which is different. They support candidates like accessories to their fashion.

00:45:10.460 That's what I think. In other words, you know, what a woman, and keep in mind, I'm gonna say that this

00:45:17.660 is true of men as well, right? Man puts on his, you know, expensive watch and puts on some cologne too.

00:45:24.140 So we're all, we're all using our accessories to market ourselves. I believe that a suburban woman 1.00

00:45:34.220 cannot say she's a Trump supporter because it's a bad accessory. The same reason suburban women don't 1.00

00:45:42.540 drive beat up pickup trucks, even if it's very functional. It's just not the right accessory.

00:45:49.340 Now, I think that would be true of men as well. You know, men, men don't want to be associated with

00:45:54.380 Marianne Williams, right? Marianna Williams. It doesn't feel like very manly to say you support

00:46:02.460 Marianna Williams. It makes you feel a little, I don't know, a little unsubstantial or something.

00:46:09.740 So I don't think that people choose their candidates entirely on policy, except for,

00:46:16.940 say, the 20% of the country that's trying to pay attention to that stuff. The 80% are going along.

00:46:23.660 They're just going along. And they want to make sure that they've got the accessory that everybody

00:46:27.820 else is wearing. So they're looking at their feet and they're saying, can I wear Uggs? Can I wear Uggs?

00:46:33.820 Uggs? They look at their friends and they go, okay, no Uggs. Uggs are out. Right? So I think that 0.59

00:46:40.700 Trump has that problem. That if you're a suburban woman, he's not the accessory that you can associate

00:46:45.900 yourself with. But if you're a suburban man, it doesn't feel the same, does it? I wouldn't feel,

00:46:56.300 I would not feel less of a man or anything else for supporting Trump. I would just feel people hating

00:47:02.380 me. But as a man, having people hate me is just sort of like routine. I'm just so used to it. It

00:47:12.700 just doesn't mean that much to me. But if you're a woman, could you support somebody that would make

00:47:17.980 your friends possibly hate you? It's a little different. There probably is, I don't know,

00:47:23.740 this might be just purely sexist. So you can call me on it if it is. But I don't believe men give a

00:47:29.020 shit as much as women do about what other people think of them. Is that generalization, does that 1.00

00:47:35.660 hold? Would you give me that generalization or is that just sexist? At least I'm aware of it. If it's

00:47:42.700 sexist, at least I'm aware of it. I think that generalization holds. The men are a little bit

00:47:49.900 much more F you. This is my opinion. I'll wear this hat if I feel like it. And women have to 1.00

00:47:56.060 get along, you know, men are more combative generally, right? So a man will take a contrarian

00:48:04.300 view because it's combative. It's like the combative kind of attracts us to it a little bit. Oh,

00:48:11.340 you hate this? Well, then I'm twice as likely to wear it. Do you really, really hate it? Then

00:48:17.260 I'm three times more likely to wear it. Whereas women, I think, are more likely to find a solution 1.00

00:48:24.460 that doesn't get anybody killed. And that is go long, you know, stick with the majority.

00:48:31.580 So how could Trump change his brand to make him accessible to women so that they're not embarrassed

00:48:41.180 to say they like somebody who's strong on crime? What could do that? Well,

00:48:52.540 well, trans? Nah, the trans issue won't get anybody any votes.

00:48:58.060 Four are against. It's too small. Date a man. Fix the economy. Well, but let me ask you, 1.00

00:49:07.980 what is it that women need the most to be happy? Let's say moms. Dick. No, the wrong, it's possible 1.00

00:49:19.180 that dick is the correct answer. But let's keep it in the political terms. I don't think Trump can get 0.98

00:49:24.700 to all of them. You say safety, but I don't think safety is working. Right? If safety were the button,

00:49:34.380 wouldn't it already be activated? I feel like he needs to be not the pussy grabber. 0.99

00:49:40.220 I think he needs to be more James Bond and less creepy, creepy guy. 0.99

00:49:52.300 If he could change his reputation to be Sean Connery, women would like him no matter how much he likes 0.97

00:50:01.660 slapping them. Because apparently Sean Connery was famous for saying, do a fact check on me. This is

00:50:08.860 true, right? Sean Connery famously said that sometimes you have to slap a woman. Is that 0.98

00:50:15.340 true? He really said that, right? Yeah. And do you think suburban women were still attracted to Sean

00:50:24.140 Connery? I mean, maybe not at the moment, but in his prime. I'm pretty sure they were. Because somehow

00:50:31.020 it fit with his vibe. Is there any way that Trump could change his battleship into more James Bond

00:50:40.620 so that even women would say, all right, well, he can grab me? I mean, Sean Connery can grab me by

00:50:45.900 the mert. No? I don't know. I'm just kind of noodling through it. I don't have a good idea here. 0.96

00:50:53.100 Before cancel culture, that was his reputation. I think you're right. Yeah, before cancel culture,

00:51:01.500 Trump was just a playboy, right? And people said, oh, rich playboy, that's okay.

00:51:08.780 That was Trump's point, that they let him, yeah.

00:51:10.740 You'd have to lose weight. You'd think if Trump lost weight, he would be more popular with women. 0.94

00:51:24.500 What if he shaved his head? What if he shaved his head and lost weight?

00:51:32.980 All right, it's never going to happen. Yeah, that's never going to happen.

00:51:36.020 All right. How do you stereotype women these days? I don't know if that was a question or a criticism.

00:51:48.420 Muscles. Well, I think he may have aged out of the playboy mode. An apology. You think if Trump

00:51:57.940 apologized, that would help him with women? Would it? Yeah, because he'd have to apologize for

00:52:07.140 something he said didn't happen. So I don't see that working. Now, apology seems like the wrong direction.

00:52:18.020 All right. Well, I still think there's something that women want 1.00

00:52:20.820 that he could provide, but he hasn't come up with it yet. I don't know what it is. It could be fentanyl.

00:52:30.100 I don't think there are any mothers of teens who are not panicked about fentanyl.

00:52:36.580 So it could be fentanyl.

00:52:39.780 He could say something along the lines of, you can hate me, but I'm trying to save your children.

00:52:45.540 Oh, that would work. That would kind of work, wouldn't it? So the one thing that would take

00:52:52.900 women off of their, let's say, their accessory thinking that I can't be associated with Trump 1.00

00:53:01.700 is if Trump was unambiguously the one who could protect their children.

00:53:05.220 If he was unambiguously the protector of their children, all things would be forgiven. Because

00:53:12.340 women would put their children above themselves in that context. So I think he has to take it out 1.00

00:53:19.060 of the frame of women, who are of course thinking of themselves as we all think of ourselves,

00:53:25.220 and move it to children, where we all release our, somewhat instinctively and biologically,

00:53:33.300 we release our self-interest when it comes to children. Because we figure, rightly,

00:53:39.220 that the children are the greatest self-interest as well as interest.

00:53:47.780 Yeah, he doesn't have to, he doesn't have to convince every mother.

00:53:52.980 I think what he has to convince mothers is that, uh, reparations for women, oh my god.

00:53:58.820 He would, he would never recommend that, but it's such a weaselly play. He could form a commission,

00:54:13.380 he could do a Newsome, form a commission of women to look into giving reparations to women,

00:54:18.420 and then just never make a decision.

00:54:24.340 The Newsome play.

00:54:26.740 All right.

00:54:28.500 Because he doesn't have a chance.

00:54:32.100 Um, you know that Ukrainian counter-offensive?

00:54:34.580 Very close.

00:54:38.260 Very, very, two varies.

00:54:40.500 It used to be close, and then it was very close, but now it's very, very soon.

00:54:46.740 Very, very soon.

00:54:48.660 And already you can see the, uh, the media narrative propaganda forming.

00:54:54.740 So you can see the, the seeds of the propaganda, and it's going to go like this.

00:54:58.740 So the Ukrainian counter-offensive has not started, at least according to Zelensky.

00:55:05.260 It hasn't even started.

00:55:06.580 But there's still intense fighting around Bakhmut.

00:55:10.500 Now, you're seeing stories that are different versions of this story.

00:55:15.540 Russians retreating. 0.65

00:55:17.660 Right?

00:55:18.620 Watch how often you see a story of Russians retreating.

00:55:22.440 Now, do you think that in the back and forth of a tense war in which the sides are roughly equal,

00:55:30.080 you don't think I could get video of Ukrainians retreating? 0.60

00:55:34.060 You think there are no Ukrainians who ever retreated?

00:55:37.400 No, no Ukrainian ever backed up to, you know, regroup, to fight again. 0.73

00:55:43.800 Right?

00:55:44.340 But every time, every time the Russians move from one place to another, 1.00

00:55:48.320 it doesn't matter what direction it is.

00:55:49.900 If they're hurrying, or they're all moving, and you hear gunfire,

00:55:55.240 you're going to see a video of them retreating.

00:55:57.820 They're all retreating.

00:55:59.460 No, maybe they're just relocating.

00:56:02.380 You know, maybe they're getting a better position.

00:56:04.700 Right?

00:56:05.380 So, watch out for all the Russia is retreating narrative.

00:56:10.600 I don't think it's real.

00:56:12.320 It looks like that's what the, you know, the intelligence people have decided is going to be the narrative.

00:56:17.080 Because you can see the seeds of it already, getting everybody primed.

00:56:21.600 Oh, yeah, those Russians. 1.00

00:56:23.640 You know, is it the Wagner group that's going to be retreating more? 0.78

00:56:27.560 Or, with all their terrible, you know, criminal conscripts? 0.95

00:56:32.140 Or, is it going to be the regular Russian army that's retreating more?

00:56:35.940 Which one is it?

00:56:36.940 Which of those Russians is retreating the most?

00:56:39.500 And then they make you think past the sale.

00:56:41.500 Well, if you're arguing about which version is retreating the most,

00:56:45.840 you've already accepted that Russians are retreaters.

00:56:49.720 A bunch of retreaters.

00:56:53.220 So, I'm not sure how much I'd believe anything during the counteroffensive.

00:56:57.680 When the counteroffensive starts, don't believe anything.

00:57:01.700 For a long time.

00:57:02.840 You know, short of an actual peace deal,

00:57:07.800 I wouldn't believe anything about the reporting on the military on the ground

00:57:11.980 for the next three months, at least. 0.98

00:57:14.640 It's going to be just complete garbage reporting. 0.92

00:57:17.600 Yeah. 0.97

00:57:17.980 Wagner group is going to be variously winning everything and losing everything.

00:57:22.980 The Russian army is going to be in control, 0.94

00:57:25.220 but also retreating for about three months.

00:57:28.080 But I will say again that Trump changed it from a war into a negotiation.

00:57:38.700 And am I the only person who's said that out loud so far?

00:57:43.140 Have you heard anybody else say that?

00:57:45.480 Because during the town hall,

00:57:47.440 when he said he would end it on day one,

00:57:49.820 when he came into office,

00:57:51.080 he basically said the war's over.

00:57:53.840 We've entered the negotiation phase.

00:57:55.780 So all of the fighting that's happening

00:57:58.380 is just to get a better negotiated settlement.

00:58:01.260 It's not about winning.

00:58:02.640 They are no longer trying to win.

00:58:07.240 Tim Poole always beats me.

00:58:09.220 Did Tim Poole say that?

00:58:12.120 I will give him credit if he did.

00:58:16.460 All right.

00:58:18.860 All right.

00:58:19.760 Well.

00:58:19.940 So the California reparations group is at it again.

00:58:28.540 And they had such good success

00:58:30.400 with their earlier recommendations about reparations

00:58:32.780 that they decided to add to it a new element.

00:58:35.980 I think this is totally going in the right direction, don't you?

00:58:40.620 Listen to this.

00:58:43.460 Let's see if you can make your head not explode.

00:58:45.560 And this is the perfect example of why Newsom is playing this

00:58:49.940 like a master musician.

00:58:52.840 He is playing these people like a fiddle.

00:58:56.720 Because he's letting them go too far.

00:58:59.360 And that allows him to ignore them.

00:59:01.540 Right?

00:59:01.900 So he's letting them go way too far.

00:59:04.580 He's putting no control on them whatsoever,

00:59:06.600 which is brilliant.

00:59:08.020 Right?

00:59:08.340 He's not saying, you know,

00:59:10.380 if you could maybe cut that back a little bit,

00:59:12.860 I could support it.

00:59:13.740 Don't you think that phone call never happened?

00:59:17.820 Well, let me tell you what the newest recommendation is.

00:59:20.640 And you tell me if he is productively talking to this group

00:59:24.160 or if he's letting them be as crazy as possible

00:59:27.460 so he can ignore them.

00:59:29.320 So their latest thing the task force is calling for,

00:59:32.440 the state legislature to require all cities and counties

00:59:35.620 with allegedly segregated neighborhoods

00:59:38.420 to submit all the real estate ordinances

00:59:45.720 to a state agency for approval

00:59:47.500 based on whether they maintain

00:59:49.000 or lessen residential racial segregation.

00:59:51.260 So now they're going after your neighborhood.

00:59:59.540 And I kind of love this

01:00:01.600 because the crazier it gets,

01:00:04.020 the more we can put it in its proper place, 0.99

01:00:06.620 which is it was just a prank on black people, 0.97

01:00:09.440 basically, by Newsom. 0.99

01:00:11.460 Newsom's playing the biggest prank on black Americans 0.98

01:00:14.160 I've ever seen in my life. 0.95

01:00:15.360 He actually has them convinced

01:00:17.640 that he's serious about some of this stuff.

01:00:20.340 I don't think so.

01:00:21.820 I don't think so.

01:00:23.320 Yeah, it's kind of cruel.

01:00:26.320 All right.

01:00:29.140 Why is he doing it?

01:00:30.320 Because in the short run,

01:00:31.320 it looks like he's very woke.

01:00:34.880 And in the long run,

01:00:36.000 he doesn't have to worry about it.

01:00:38.260 He'll just keep putting it off.

01:00:40.160 He can put it off forever

01:00:41.440 because they're always going to be willing

01:00:43.460 to go back to the task force

01:00:44.760 and talk some more about

01:00:45.720 some more stuff that they can get.

01:00:48.020 And then he'll just say,

01:00:49.220 well, not quite there.

01:00:51.280 Maybe work on that a little bit harder

01:00:52.940 10 years later.

01:00:58.140 What would be the fallout

01:00:59.520 if he executed on some of this?

01:01:02.440 It depends what some is.

01:01:04.780 If this turned into

01:01:06.520 $5,000 per black person

01:01:10.880 in California,

01:01:12.900 I think people would say,

01:01:13.940 ah,

01:01:14.660 I have something to complain about,

01:01:17.820 but it's not going to break the bank.

01:01:20.880 Ah.

01:01:21.840 Ah.

01:01:22.520 So you can imagine

01:01:24.280 some trivial thing

01:01:27.400 that everybody would argue about,

01:01:29.300 but we wouldn't go nuclear about it.

01:01:33.200 However,

01:01:34.540 if it turned out to be

01:01:35.540 something like a million dollars

01:01:37.080 in a free house

01:01:37.880 for black people, 0.88

01:01:39.020 I guess all I can say 0.95

01:01:44.100 is it can't happen

01:01:45.060 because the potential fallout

01:01:48.700 would be so extraordinary

01:01:49.940 that it would be unpredictable.

01:01:51.880 I don't think I could stay

01:01:54.460 in the state

01:01:55.000 if that happened.

01:01:56.660 And I really,

01:01:57.360 really don't want to leave

01:01:58.460 because, you know,

01:01:59.660 once you get settled,

01:02:00.580 it's just too hard to leave.

01:02:01.480 But that would just feel too far.

01:02:05.400 Like if they started

01:02:06.260 scratching my money

01:02:07.980 out of my bank account 1.00

01:02:09.160 for shit they just made up 0.99

01:02:11.780 for people who weren't 1.00

01:02:14.200 weren't slaves,

01:02:16.060 I mean,

01:02:16.880 that's too far.

01:02:18.160 That's just too far.

01:02:19.820 And I think the two words,

01:02:23.200 too and far,

01:02:24.560 we need to use more

01:02:26.060 because almost everything

01:02:28.220 that starts as a good idea

01:02:29.820 morphs into some ridiculous thing.

01:02:32.620 And you've got to be able 0.81

01:02:33.520 to say where too far is.

01:02:35.280 If you keep saying,

01:02:36.300 well,

01:02:36.500 it was a good idea

01:02:37.240 when it started

01:02:37.840 and I don't want to change my mind,

01:02:39.700 that's not helping.

01:02:41.280 How about it's a good idea

01:02:42.600 on the small,

01:02:44.280 but then it morphed

01:02:45.460 into something

01:02:45.980 that's too far.

01:02:47.700 And you've got to call it.

01:02:49.600 Now,

01:02:50.460 calling it as being too far

01:02:51.760 could get you cancelled,

01:02:52.700 but apparently

01:02:53.940 there are enough of us

01:02:55.120 who are willing

01:02:55.540 to get cancelled

01:02:56.220 to tell the truth.

01:02:58.560 At least that'll get out there.

01:03:02.800 Charleston, South Carolina.

01:03:04.360 Is that a good place?

01:03:05.280 Sullivan's Island,

01:03:06.060 somebody's recommending.

01:03:07.260 I don't like to be

01:03:08.220 where there are hurricanes.

01:03:12.000 That's my problem with Florida.

01:03:13.520 Too many natural disasters.

01:03:18.840 Yeah.

01:03:20.540 You know,

01:03:21.160 maybe Trump

01:03:23.280 could make reparations

01:03:24.720 go away

01:03:25.160 by suggesting them

01:03:26.140 for women.

01:03:27.860 But also not be serious

01:03:29.340 about it.

01:03:32.440 It would be

01:03:34.200 an interesting

01:03:34.720 little thing

01:03:36.380 to throw in the mix there.

01:03:38.460 All right.

01:03:39.960 Ladies and gentlemen,

01:03:41.540 that is the news

01:03:42.380 for today.

01:03:47.580 California has

01:03:48.300 perfect weather.

01:03:49.160 Yeah.

01:03:50.180 Kind of does.

01:03:51.160 Well, you know,

01:03:53.040 in California,

01:03:53.780 you can avoid,

01:03:55.080 it's such a big state.

01:03:57.200 I can avoid

01:03:58.120 the freedom crappers.

01:04:00.240 I can go where

01:04:01.400 there are no

01:04:02.000 earthquake faults.

01:04:03.320 I can build a home

01:04:04.700 that's, you know,

01:04:05.960 hardened to them.

01:04:07.320 I can build my house

01:04:08.900 so it's not easy

01:04:09.720 to burn

01:04:10.220 and it's not

01:04:10.800 in a high burnable area.

01:04:13.540 And I don't have

01:04:14.360 any mudslides

01:04:14.940 where I live.

01:04:15.940 Right?

01:04:16.220 It's not really a risk

01:04:17.200 in my specific neighborhood.

01:04:18.640 So even though

01:04:20.640 California has

01:04:22.100 like every kind

01:04:23.060 of risk,

01:04:24.060 you know,

01:04:24.300 Tahoe has too much snow,

01:04:25.960 you could die in the snow,

01:04:27.160 I just don't go to Tahoe.

01:04:30.460 So all of those risks,

01:04:32.520 everything from,

01:04:33.380 you know,

01:04:34.060 crime on the streets

01:04:35.220 in L.A.,

01:04:36.200 I don't go on the sidewalk

01:04:38.020 in Los Angeles.

01:04:39.600 I just don't go there.

01:04:41.300 So it's not really

01:04:42.260 a problem.

01:04:43.320 You know,

01:04:43.480 I didn't want to go there

01:04:44.260 anyway.

01:04:45.280 So not a problem at all.

01:04:49.300 Is there another UAP?

01:04:51.060 Why are you saying that?

01:04:56.500 Now,

01:04:57.100 my understanding

01:04:58.380 of San Francisco

01:04:59.260 is that it tends

01:05:00.320 to be cyclical.

01:05:02.340 San Francisco

01:05:02.940 has gone through

01:05:03.580 some high crime

01:05:04.440 and low crime periods.

01:05:06.160 I think New York City

01:05:07.280 as well.

01:05:08.220 So it could be

01:05:08.860 just cyclical.

01:05:10.620 I mean,

01:05:10.840 it could be that

01:05:11.540 it just slides

01:05:12.440 too far in one direction

01:05:13.660 and then it goes back

01:05:14.520 the other way.

01:05:15.380 That's probably

01:05:15.820 what we're going to see.

01:05:19.640 All right,

01:05:20.100 ladies and gentlemen,

01:05:23.420 that

01:05:23.740 Home Depot,

01:05:27.240 yeah,

01:05:27.840 the Home Depot,

01:05:28.720 Home Depot employee

01:05:30.300 was killed near me.

01:05:31.400 That is true.

01:05:32.760 That's the store

01:05:33.460 I shop at.

01:05:35.260 It was shot dead

01:05:36.380 right in front

01:05:37.800 of the store

01:05:38.220 I shop at.

01:05:41.440 All right.

01:05:41.960 So that's all for now

01:05:43.360 and I will talk to you

01:05:44.720 maybe tonight,

01:05:46.020 maybe do a man cave tonight.

01:05:52.300 And

01:05:52.740 I'll definitely see you

01:05:55.120 in the morning.

01:05:55.780 All right.
