Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2112 Scott Adams： DeSantis Right Of Trump？ CNN and WaPo Clown Themselves, CIA Media Control

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, I like to

00:00:08.000 call it, Coffee with Scott Adams, and it is the best thing that ever happened in your

00:00:12.580 entire life.

00:00:13.880 If you'd like to make it even better than that, hard to believe, I know, but all you

00:00:19.060 need to do that would be a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or a stein, a canteen

00:00:22.960 jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:28.760 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine, at the end of the day, the thing

00:00:34.140 that makes everything better, it's called the simultaneous sip, and wow, does it make

00:00:39.680 you healthier and sexier and better looking and probably will increase your lifespan, and

00:00:44.980 it happens now.

00:00:46.080 Go.

00:00:50.280 Ah.

00:00:54.200 Hmm.

00:00:56.900 Well, let's check out the news.

00:00:58.760 To get you on your way today, make sure your day is perfect, because you know all the stuff,

00:01:05.140 and you know all the way to think about it.

00:01:08.140 So, big news is that DeSantis is apparently going to announce next week, he's running for

00:01:13.680 president, and the news is reporting, CNN says this anyway, that he's going to run to the

00:01:24.060 right of Trump.

00:01:27.840 Do you think that makes sense?

00:01:30.180 DeSantis is going to run to the right of Trump?

00:01:34.740 I'm not sure I believe it.

00:01:36.520 So, I guess he can get to the right on two issues.

00:01:39.160 One is guns, and one is abortion.

00:01:41.320 So, he's a little extra in both those categories, gun freedom.

00:01:47.120 And, yeah, well, COVID wasn't mentioned in the news, but I think you could throw that

00:01:52.380 in there.

00:01:53.500 Here's my non-political expert take.

00:01:58.120 Isn't the only benefit of DeSantis is that he would seem more normal to other voters?

00:02:07.900 Isn't that pretty much all you get?

00:02:11.120 It's the only thing you get.

00:02:13.860 It's like Trump without the drama, and in order to run for president to beat Trump, he

00:02:20.480 has to be more Trump than Trump.

00:02:22.360 That feels like exactly the opposite of his value proposition.

00:02:28.220 I get that you have to run to, you know, you go right when you're running for the nomination.

00:02:34.640 But, he's a special case.

00:02:38.500 His entire appeal is that he's not Trump-like entirely, you know, with the extreme stuff.

00:02:45.580 I don't know.

00:02:46.280 That seems like the very worst thing he could do.

00:02:48.180 I feel like it's a gigantic waste of time, and he's just detracting from what good work

00:02:54.420 he could do in Florida for the next four years, or next couple years, I guess, until he loses

00:02:59.400 the primary.

00:03:00.680 Now, the thing that makes me wonder is, does DeSantis know something we don't know?

00:03:08.420 For example, would DeSantis know that there's some big trouble coming down the road for Trump

00:03:15.100 that we don't know about?

00:03:16.060 I feel like everything must be out by now, but there are always surprises.

00:03:21.000 Otherwise, it just seems like a bad idea.

00:03:23.780 But I think we have to wait and see.

00:03:26.820 Given that DeSantis has a pretty long history of doing smart things, the fact that we can't

00:03:33.980 see this as smart immediately, that he would run to the right of Trump, doesn't mean it isn't.

00:03:40.740 It might mean there's some extra information we're not aware of.

00:03:43.260 So I'm going to wait.

00:03:45.780 I guess that's a wait and see, because at this point, it's based on rumor.

00:03:49.580 It's not really reporting.

00:03:52.260 So that would be interesting.

00:03:54.800 I think his best chance would be to run as a normal Republican.

00:03:59.320 He could just say that.

00:04:00.300 I'm going to run as a normal person, if you'd like a normal president for a while.

00:04:06.120 Did you see Elon Musk when he was asked if he's happy that he voted for Biden?

00:04:12.240 And he took a long pause, and he said, avoiding the question, I just want a normal president.

00:04:20.360 Is that too much to ask?

00:04:21.860 Just a normal one.

00:04:24.680 I just want a normal human being.

00:04:29.580 So DeSantis could fit that pocket perfectly.

00:04:34.480 DeSantis is about the, you know, his biggest, his biggest advantage is that he's not interesting.

00:04:41.500 He's normal.

00:04:42.340 Now, normal in a good way, because Republicans like, you know, good, solid citizens we get to work on.

00:04:50.300 It's not a bad idea, but he's not exciting.

00:04:52.900 So we'll see.

00:04:53.520 I saw a tweet by Benjamin Carlson.

00:04:59.080 He found a clip from 1983 of some CIA agent being interviewed.

00:05:05.520 And the CIA agent was talking about the degree to which they manipulate the media.

00:05:11.280 And it's a pretty big degree.

00:05:13.320 So apparently the CIA forms relationships with reporters in which the CIA asks them for information

00:05:25.620 because the CIA is both gathering information but also planting misinformation.

00:05:31.360 So in the gathering of information, they have a reason to talk to reporters

00:05:34.920 because reporters know things before you do.

00:05:38.040 So the CIA wants to know things as soon as possible, so they know all the big reporters.

00:05:43.320 But also, they give stories to reporters.

00:05:47.920 And this was just a four-example number.

00:05:50.780 It's not a studied number.

00:05:53.620 But the agent was saying, you know, you give your contact five real stories

00:05:58.540 that makes them look like superstars.

00:06:01.820 And then you can, well, let's say four real ones.

00:06:05.660 And then the fifth one you slip in is misinformation.

00:06:09.300 And they're going to print it.

00:06:11.020 Because they trusted you on the other four.

00:06:13.320 And maybe it's unclear whether the next one is even true or not.

00:06:17.460 But they still trusted you, so they printed it.

00:06:20.400 So one way that they co-opt them, said the CIA guy.

00:06:24.920 Now, again, this is just a video on the Internet.

00:06:27.700 But it sounds true.

00:06:28.900 Even if the guy isn't really a CIA guy, the things he said are so obviously probably true.

00:06:38.020 I mean, they just ring so ordinary that it sounds pretty credible.

00:06:42.040 And the other thing he says is it's not always that we're just being helpful to the reporters

00:06:46.140 and we have a relationship with them.

00:06:47.920 That's not the only way they persuade them.

00:06:51.140 But they also look for their human weaknesses.

00:06:54.480 Whatever that means.

00:06:56.480 Whatever that means.

00:06:57.560 It sounds a little blackmailish.

00:06:59.700 Maybe it's not blackmail.

00:07:01.020 Maybe it's more incentive than blackmail.

00:07:03.840 I don't know.

00:07:04.260 But they're very much in the business of influencing the news and not toward truth.

00:07:12.880 And I think there was one study that showed that the CIA influenced 400 journalists.

00:07:21.600 I think that was according to Woodward and Bernstein.

00:07:24.080 Woodward and Bernstein studied it and found out that the CIA was basically manipulating a lot of journalists.

00:07:32.940 So, do you believe the news?

00:07:37.740 The news is completely artificial.

00:07:41.040 And always has been.

00:07:42.940 It's just a little more...

00:07:44.120 We're a little bit smarter about it now.

00:07:46.620 And there are now more like two sides.

00:07:49.240 So one side is always willing to point out the fake news on the other side.

00:07:54.080 So I don't think it's worse.

00:07:56.900 I do not think that the fake news is worse.

00:08:00.840 I think it's always been this way.

00:08:03.180 We just didn't know it.

00:08:04.760 Now we know it.

00:08:07.160 So, I mean, maybe it's worse.

00:08:09.040 But it was about as bad as you could imagine it being back in the 80s and earlier.

00:08:15.300 60s, I believe.

00:08:16.420 I think we have confirmation that the CIA has been active since at least the 60s.

00:08:21.140 It influenced the media.

00:08:24.080 So, RFK Jr., I was listening to him on the All In podcast.

00:08:30.320 And he was talking about Ukraine and what he would do to stop it.

00:08:33.420 And I guess this is all stuff I've heard before.

00:08:37.440 But when you hear someone running for president say it, it takes on a whole different meaning.

00:08:42.760 And he talks about the war in Ukraine being, I'm going to try to paraphrase it as fairly as I can.

00:08:51.720 That it's the military-industrial complex looking for a reason for war, along with the neocons who want to remove Putin for power because that's what they do and they've always wanted to do that.

00:09:04.100 And that the whole, we're protecting Ukraine, none of it's real.

00:09:08.840 The entire war is just a fake front for what the U.S. wanted to do, which is go to war with Russia without getting killed.

00:09:17.000 So, apparently, Biden and the neocons found a way to go to war with Russia without the enormous risk of getting nuked in the process.

00:09:27.280 And that they really are just trying to drain Russia of resources and get Putin out of power.

00:09:35.300 And they're acting that way.

00:09:36.880 They're saying it's just obvious.

00:09:39.580 And we're sitting here, the American public, and we're acting like, well, you know, I guess there's no...

00:09:48.300 I'm going to ban you.

00:09:49.600 I ban the people who say Scott is just catching up or just waking up.

00:09:59.660 Because that's not happening.

00:10:02.840 Boom, boom, you are hidden.

00:10:05.740 All right.

00:10:09.620 Is there somebody there who thinks that I just became cynical lately?

00:10:15.900 Like, who thinks I'm just waking up?

00:10:17.780 Are you serious?

00:10:20.900 I've been doing the Dilbert comic for 34 fucking years, which is nothing but doubting people in power are telling you the truth.

00:10:28.660 That's all it is.

00:10:31.680 And do you really think I'm just, like, figuring it out now that everybody in power has been lying to us forever?

00:10:40.420 I thought I was telling you.

00:10:42.000 Just in case, just in case there was somebody who didn't know.

00:10:47.160 You think I'm just realizing it now?

00:10:49.900 Just waking up.

00:10:53.260 All right.

00:10:54.220 You must be new.

00:10:56.120 Anyway, seeing RFK Jr. not only say that the CIA killed his father, probably his father, but certainly his uncle.

00:11:03.600 But also that the entire Ukraine-Russia war is a big fake thing that has no American interest.

00:11:15.080 And we're just using all our treasure and shit for no reason.

00:11:19.080 And that all of the provocation is us.

00:11:21.660 Basically, we made a bunch of promises to Russia, which probably would have held.

00:11:28.700 And then we broke all of our promises and did everything provocative and dangerous looking and tried as hard as we could to overthrow Putin.

00:11:36.920 What the fuck is he supposed to do?

00:11:40.300 Like, what did we expect Putin to do?

00:11:42.680 Well, here we are.

00:11:47.040 So I think maybe we did expect him to do this because they wanted him to be in a war and they wanted to drain him and they wanted to sell a lot of weapons.

00:11:57.680 And our government is not working for us right now.

00:12:01.600 You know that, right?

00:12:03.820 It doesn't look like the government has even a little bit of interest in the American people.

00:12:09.000 Certainly not the Ukrainian people.

00:12:10.740 So, anyway, so that's happening.

00:12:19.220 I think when you hear RFK Jr. talk about this stuff, it's hard not to like him.

00:12:26.680 It's hard not to like.

00:12:28.340 And once again, I saw another journalist go after him for his vaccination views, but couldn't do it with data.

00:12:38.500 They just, it was so illegitimate.

00:12:44.160 You know, here's how they handle it.

00:12:46.220 You've been criticized for your vaccine statements.

00:12:51.380 You've said lots of things that people think are crazy and nutty and unscientific.

00:12:56.180 We don't have time to talk about all that, but I'd like to ask you about, and I actually saw that.

00:13:02.880 Somebody challenged him on the most important question and said, but we don't have time to talk about that.

00:13:07.080 And he's sitting there like, the fuck?

00:13:11.140 He just threw me under the bus and said, I don't have time to crawl back out, like while you're filming.

00:13:18.300 Yeah, was it a crystal ball?

00:13:20.080 Yeah, I think it was.

00:13:21.100 Yeah, you saw the same thing I saw, right?

00:13:23.940 She threw him under the bus and said, there's no time for you to respond.

00:13:27.520 And he's just sitting there like, what?

00:13:31.900 Now, somebody mentioned that he was being steamrolled in that interview.

00:13:38.320 Here's the problem with his voice issue.

00:13:42.400 Trump would not have been steamrolled, because he would have talked over her.

00:13:47.640 Because he's got a big, booming voice, he would have just talked over her.

00:13:50.540 And as she kept talking, he would have just kept talking over her.

00:13:54.920 And as she complained that he was talking over her, he would just talk over her.

00:14:01.040 Right?

00:14:02.060 Trump would have just annihilated her in that interview.

00:14:05.720 But it's because he's big, and he has a big voice.

00:14:11.080 When you've got a faltering voice, you can't do that.

00:14:15.140 You just don't have the sword.

00:14:17.280 You're trying to poke, but there's none there.

00:14:19.520 So, that's a real disadvantage for him in interviews.

00:14:23.780 But he's still strong.

00:14:26.360 Like, overall, I mean, it was obvious he was being screwed by the interviewer.

00:14:31.320 So, I took his side, just sort of automatically, because he was obviously being screwed.

00:14:36.140 So, I think he's still completely effective.

00:14:40.040 But that is one area he's got to work around that.

00:14:45.560 All right.

00:14:46.180 I saw a video of some Tesla robots walking around and being trained.

00:14:53.260 And I feel like this might be the biggest thing that's coming.

00:14:58.400 But because Musk is Musk, he never talks about the robots, does he?

00:15:04.080 When was the last time you heard Musk bring up on his own Tesla robots are coming?

00:15:10.320 Like actual walking, talking robots.

00:15:12.180 It's sort of, it's weirdly not discussed.

00:15:18.860 Now, I suppose it's, yeah, moved to investors, of course.

00:15:22.280 But I have a feeling this could be his biggest market.

00:15:25.580 What do you think?

00:15:27.120 I think robots could be 60% of all of his revenue fairly soon.

00:15:32.940 Because if he makes the best robot, it's going to be the iPhone of robots, right?

00:15:44.060 You know, maybe Apple has one, too.

00:15:46.440 But his are full-size robots, it looks like.

00:15:48.880 I don't know how tall they are.

00:15:49.860 They look like, you know, 5'10 or something.

00:15:53.100 And it looks like they'll have, you know, full articulation and they'll be able to feel sensitive things.

00:16:00.140 You know, they can put their foot on an egg.

00:16:01.960 I saw a demonstration without breaking the egg.

00:16:04.580 And the other thing that you think about is, how do you think Mars could possibly be colonized

00:16:13.220 unless you had really good solar stuff and batteries and robots?

00:16:20.120 Don't you think he's going to ship a bunch of robots to Mars

00:16:23.940 and then the robots will independently build up an environment for humans later?

00:16:31.520 That's the obvious thing to do, right?

00:16:34.440 Like, there's no chance that won't happen, is there?

00:16:38.040 I mean, assuming the robots are capable, it looks like they might be.

00:16:42.280 Now, I don't know if the robots could handle the elements.

00:16:47.740 So there might be some problem with that.

00:16:49.480 But if you had enough robots, they could have spare parts and they could be, you know,

00:16:53.880 repairing each other and reporting back and building out your little environment

00:16:58.680 and geoengineering and all that stuff.

00:17:01.420 In fact, you could have robots developing Mars for 100 years

00:17:06.680 before the first person went there to live permanently.

00:17:11.840 I feel like that's where it's going.

00:17:14.140 Isn't that the obvious direction?

00:17:15.660 Put the robots up there and have them build us a planet so we can go there when we're ready?

00:17:22.040 It's just the stuff that Musk does is so insanely futuristic that you can't even hold it in your head sometimes.

00:17:30.060 Like, he's so far ahead and accurately so far.

00:17:34.700 He's anticipated where the world will go before it gets there.

00:17:38.380 All right.

00:17:42.220 And then these robots will all be AI, of course.

00:17:44.940 They'll be walking and talking and forming relationships with them.

00:17:48.540 You know we will.

00:17:50.340 There will be strap-ons for robots.

00:17:54.360 Oh, my God.

00:17:55.220 There will be strap-ons for robots.

00:17:56.880 You know that's going to happen, right?

00:18:03.120 I don't think it'll be part of the original equipment,

00:18:06.200 but there's going to be this aftermarket.

00:18:09.140 It's like, you know what your robot needs?

00:18:11.780 How about a realistic mask?

00:18:15.360 A realistic mask you can pull over its robot head that looks like somebody you know.

00:18:20.900 Like you could have an Adam Schiff robot just so you could abuse it.

00:18:25.040 Or it could look like, you know, your deceased spouse or something like that.

00:18:32.080 But there's going to be this aftermarket for accessorizing your robot,

00:18:36.120 and definitely going to be a strap-on.

00:18:38.240 That's coming.

00:18:40.380 So I am so curious about a, speaking of Musk,

00:18:46.260 a tweet he made about Soros.

00:18:48.840 When he said to somebody, he said,

00:18:52.000 you assume they are good intentions,

00:18:54.040 they are not, talking about George Soros' intentions.

00:18:58.420 And he says, Musk says of Soros,

00:19:00.740 he wants to erode the very fabric of civilization.

00:19:04.220 Soros hates humanity.

00:19:06.400 What is that based on?

00:19:10.040 Do you think it's because Musk has inside information about Soros?

00:19:16.220 I don't think so.

00:19:20.560 Now, here's the problem.

00:19:24.580 Don't we all believe that George Soros' son

00:19:28.100 is really the active person in charge?

00:19:31.560 Don't we all believe that?

00:19:34.080 So wouldn't that assume that the father is evil,

00:19:37.600 but somehow it was genetically or by training

00:19:40.780 passed down to the son?

00:19:42.560 And the reason that we think Soros might be evil

00:19:47.280 is that he might have been damaged by something in his past,

00:19:52.260 which goes to Musk's comment that he reminds him of Magneto.

00:19:57.340 Magneto had a backstory of being in a Jewish prisoner of war camp

00:20:02.020 in World War II,

00:20:03.580 and Soros has a World War II Jewish backstory.

00:20:07.980 So Musk was suggesting

00:20:12.160 there might be something in the backstory of Soros

00:20:15.820 that makes him hate humanity.

00:20:18.080 Because he did go through an experience

00:20:19.980 that you could reasonably think would make you hate humanity.

00:20:24.600 That's not a stretch.

00:20:26.280 But it is a stretch to say

00:20:27.880 that it was passed down to the next generation.

00:20:31.040 Because clearly the people around Soros

00:20:33.920 are on the same page.

00:20:35.160 Have you ever heard anybody said,

00:20:37.780 we're trying to talk Soros out of doing this stuff?

00:20:40.720 All the people who get money from Soros

00:20:42.680 think they're doing good things.

00:20:44.620 They think.

00:20:46.140 Or, well, they say they are.

00:20:49.100 So I do not,

00:20:50.720 I don't think the facts support

00:20:53.000 that Soros Sr.

00:20:57.260 was injured,

00:20:59.080 let's say psychologically,

00:21:00.480 by his past experience,

00:21:03.340 and therefore he hates humanity

00:21:04.940 and is trying to destroy it.

00:21:07.180 How does that fit

00:21:08.320 with the fact that his son

00:21:09.520 is the one who's running the show

00:21:10.900 and apparently on board with all of it?

00:21:14.260 And the son didn't experience

00:21:15.580 any of those things.

00:21:17.280 How is it passed on?

00:21:18.320 By training?

00:21:20.620 Or is,

00:21:21.140 were a senior really in charge?

00:21:22.600 I just don't think the senior

00:21:26.360 is ever really in charge at that age.

00:21:29.100 It just doesn't feel like a thing.

00:21:32.620 Well, you think the son

00:21:33.760 is just sort of going along with it

00:21:35.360 or he's brainwashed.

00:21:36.760 See, the trouble is,

00:21:37.740 you have to reach

00:21:38.820 for some pretty sketchy hypotheses.

00:21:42.480 Is it possible that the son

00:21:44.200 is just brainwashed?

00:21:45.960 Yes.

00:21:47.100 It's not the most likely thing.

00:21:49.180 Is it possible that the son

00:21:51.440 coincidentally has the same feelings

00:21:53.820 while having a completely

00:21:55.480 different experience?

00:21:57.500 I suppose,

00:21:58.860 but it would be really unusual.

00:22:02.340 Right?

00:22:03.320 The most normal explanation

00:22:05.620 of what's going on

00:22:06.860 is that the father, Soros,

00:22:09.820 doesn't know exactly

00:22:11.540 where his money's going

00:22:12.540 and what's happening.

00:22:13.860 Or, you know,

00:22:15.040 he's got some cognitive dissonance

00:22:16.480 which is preventing him

00:22:17.560 from seeing it.

00:22:18.240 Or they're just not telling him.

00:22:20.580 I mean, I assume he reads the news.

00:22:23.240 So, to me,

00:22:24.380 some ordinary explanation

00:22:25.860 makes more sense.

00:22:27.580 Like somebody's really old

00:22:28.940 and doesn't know

00:22:29.980 where his money's going.

00:22:31.420 Or he gave it to organizations

00:22:33.420 that look good

00:22:35.060 but turned out not to be good.

00:22:37.200 They're very ordinary things.

00:22:39.460 But this whole,

00:22:40.180 he's evil

00:22:41.620 and that evil was transferred

00:22:43.860 to his son, his family,

00:22:45.620 and all the people

00:22:46.780 in the Soros organization.

00:22:50.020 No.

00:22:51.200 I'm sorry.

00:22:51.960 That's too far.

00:22:53.320 It's too far.

00:22:54.480 My imagination is good

00:22:56.320 but I can't stretch it that far.

00:23:00.200 Now do Gates.

00:23:01.820 See,

00:23:02.480 do you not notice the pattern

00:23:04.140 that if they're a billionaire

00:23:07.020 and they're doing things

00:23:08.360 that they say are good for the world

00:23:11.280 but you don't like them?

00:23:13.080 You don't say they're wrong.

00:23:15.300 You say they're evil

00:23:16.480 and they want to destroy the world.

00:23:18.820 Just,

00:23:19.260 can you hear yourself?

00:23:21.320 Can you actually hear yourself?

00:23:24.300 If you heard somebody else say that,

00:23:25.940 you'd say they were crazy.

00:23:28.580 Right?

00:23:29.020 Oh,

00:23:30.720 it's all the billionaires

00:23:31.660 that are evil

00:23:32.100 and want to destroy the earth.

00:23:34.380 Well,

00:23:34.620 isn't that a coincidence?

00:23:35.860 You've never met one person

00:23:37.460 in your entire life

00:23:38.540 who actually wanted to harm the earth.

00:23:41.140 Am I right?

00:23:42.260 You've never met one.

00:23:43.980 In your whole life,

00:23:44.900 you've never met one person

00:23:46.020 who legitimately

00:23:46.940 wanted to destroy the world.

00:23:50.360 But all these billionaires do, right?

00:23:53.120 Yeah,

00:23:53.560 as soon as you're a billionaire,

00:23:54.600 you want to destroy the world.

00:23:56.120 Just hear yourself.

00:23:59.480 Just hear yourself.

00:24:01.600 Now,

00:24:02.200 I know somebody's going to interpret this

00:24:03.740 as defending Soros.

00:24:06.040 Does anybody think

00:24:06.760 I'm defending Soros?

00:24:08.980 Does this sound to you

00:24:10.200 like defending him?

00:24:12.120 No.

00:24:13.120 Because the outcomes are terrible.

00:24:15.040 We just don't know

00:24:15.740 why the outcomes are terrible.

00:24:17.860 Right?

00:24:18.600 I would damn him

00:24:20.600 as much as the rest of you

00:24:21.700 for what he's doing

00:24:22.380 with the district attorneys.

00:24:24.160 But I don't know why.

00:24:27.880 To say you know why

00:24:28.980 is a little stretch.

00:24:31.160 All right.

00:24:32.380 But we're built

00:24:34.520 to give ourselves reasons

00:24:36.560 when there are no reasons.

00:24:38.020 So I understand it.

00:24:39.660 Montana

00:24:40.140 is the first state

00:24:41.660 to ban TikTok.

00:24:42.940 Not just for government officials,

00:24:46.120 but for any user

00:24:48.160 who's a resident

00:24:48.920 of Montana.

00:24:51.760 What do you think of that?

00:24:52.560 Now,

00:24:54.880 of course,

00:24:55.340 it'll be challenged.

00:24:57.260 Of course.

00:24:58.860 So TikTok will challenge

00:25:00.160 maybe the,

00:25:01.560 I don't know,

00:25:02.520 UCLA,

00:25:03.420 not use,

00:25:04.540 what are they called?

00:25:06.360 That useless organization?

00:25:09.420 ACLU, yes.

00:25:10.660 ACLU,

00:25:11.620 they might try to oppose it.

00:25:13.620 Why?

00:25:15.360 Hell if I know.

00:25:16.520 But I don't,

00:25:19.180 I don't have

00:25:20.460 a ton of optimism

00:25:21.800 that with this

00:25:23.880 one state movement

00:25:24.860 is going to

00:25:25.560 become a cascade.

00:25:26.980 It could.

00:25:28.100 Other states might say,

00:25:29.340 well,

00:25:30.000 let's try that too.

00:25:32.060 Maybe.

00:25:39.000 Well,

00:25:39.600 I believe the way

00:25:40.340 they would do it is

00:25:41.380 since you have to buy it

00:25:43.620 in the app store,

00:25:44.620 I think the app store

00:25:46.780 would check

00:25:48.160 the zip code

00:25:50.280 of your credit card

00:25:52.220 and if your zip code

00:25:54.600 is in the banned state,

00:25:56.320 it just wouldn't

00:25:56.980 let you do it.

00:25:58.320 I think.

00:25:59.500 Does that sound like,

00:26:00.920 I think you could do that.

00:26:02.640 You could use a VPN.

00:26:04.820 Don't know how many people

00:26:05.940 know how to do that.

00:26:09.360 Kids probably do.

00:26:10.660 It would probably take

00:26:11.240 10 minutes for the kids

00:26:12.320 to get a VPN,

00:26:13.160 wouldn't it?

00:26:13.460 But wait a minute.

00:26:16.220 Does the VPN work

00:26:17.400 if you're buying

00:26:18.380 from the Apple store?

00:26:22.040 Does it?

00:26:24.080 The VPN will work

00:26:25.560 if you're in Montana

00:26:27.500 so the Apple store

00:26:29.240 won't know you're in,

00:26:30.540 won't know where you are

00:26:31.600 or who you are.

00:26:35.920 Do you think,

00:26:36.860 let me ask you,

00:26:37.640 will the Apple store

00:26:38.780 let you buy something

00:26:40.060 without putting in

00:26:42.080 your address?

00:26:46.840 I don't know

00:26:47.560 that they will.

00:26:48.620 They will?

00:26:50.280 You don't think

00:26:51.100 that your credit card

00:26:52.280 has an address

00:26:53.000 on file

00:26:53.480 with Apple?

00:26:57.580 Yeah,

00:26:58.060 Apple knows

00:26:58.660 a lot about you.

00:26:59.960 I think they know

00:27:00.640 where you are

00:27:01.360 and what state you're in

00:27:02.260 and where you live.

00:27:04.420 I don't think

00:27:05.160 your VPN

00:27:05.720 is shielding you

00:27:06.700 from Apple.

00:27:09.040 Apple knows

00:27:09.840 you own the phone.

00:27:11.700 Apple knows

00:27:12.280 the identity

00:27:12.840 of the person

00:27:13.440 who owns the phone,

00:27:14.260 period.

00:27:16.560 I'm not wrong

00:27:17.380 about that.

00:27:19.580 Now,

00:27:20.320 so I think

00:27:21.080 that you could

00:27:22.640 ban it like 80%.

00:27:23.960 You know,

00:27:24.460 20% would find

00:27:25.500 workarounds.

00:27:26.500 But I think

00:27:26.900 you could ban it

00:27:27.440 80%,

00:27:28.040 which would be

00:27:29.720 substantial.

00:27:30.280 All right.

00:27:32.880 We'll see.

00:27:34.740 So yesterday

00:27:35.660 in the news

00:27:36.160 there were a bunch

00:27:36.600 of rumors

00:27:37.140 that are being

00:27:38.660 debunked

00:27:39.300 about change-up

00:27:40.760 in the Fox News

00:27:41.860 lineup.

00:27:43.300 And the rumor,

00:27:44.720 which is,

00:27:45.560 I think,

00:27:46.000 debunked,

00:27:47.180 because Fox News

00:27:47.980 says there's

00:27:48.480 nothing to it,

00:27:49.620 was that

00:27:50.520 Laura Ingram

00:27:51.080 was going to be out.

00:27:52.560 No indication

00:27:53.280 of that.

00:27:55.420 And that

00:27:56.280 they were going

00:27:57.040 to fill,

00:27:58.780 let's say,

00:27:59.160 move Hannity

00:27:59.640 to Tucker's

00:28:00.580 time period,

00:28:02.080 and then

00:28:02.960 Jesse Waters

00:28:03.840 would be

00:28:04.140 after Hannity,

00:28:05.040 and then

00:28:05.320 Gutfeld would

00:28:06.000 be moved

00:28:07.060 to 10 o'clock.

00:28:08.260 Now,

00:28:08.540 that was the rumor.

00:28:10.440 And Fox News

00:28:11.260 says,

00:28:11.700 no, no, no,

00:28:12.240 we're just

00:28:12.700 considering lots

00:28:13.580 of possibilities

00:28:14.240 and no decisions

00:28:15.200 have been made.

00:28:16.900 But that is also

00:28:17.980 what corporations

00:28:18.740 say when the rumors

00:28:19.740 get out, right?

00:28:21.300 When the rumor

00:28:22.080 gets out,

00:28:22.880 the best way

00:28:23.420 to deny it is,

00:28:24.640 well,

00:28:24.920 it's one of the

00:28:25.660 things that came up.

00:28:27.340 It's just one

00:28:28.160 of the things,

00:28:28.760 one of the

00:28:29.600 possibilities.

00:28:30.820 But we haven't

00:28:31.660 made any decisions.

00:28:34.120 So it came from

00:28:35.180 the Drudge

00:28:36.760 report.

00:28:38.000 Do you remember

00:28:38.300 when Drudge

00:28:38.880 was important?

00:28:40.480 And then,

00:28:41.120 I guess,

00:28:41.460 it got sold

00:28:42.000 and turned

00:28:42.580 into something.

00:28:44.240 I don't know

00:28:44.640 what it is.

00:28:45.800 But,

00:28:46.480 as of today,

00:28:48.400 that doesn't look

00:28:49.080 like that's

00:28:50.080 a confirmed rumor.

00:28:51.600 We'll keep an eye

00:28:52.340 on that.

00:28:53.200 That's my phrase

00:28:54.040 for the day.

00:28:55.080 Let's keep an eye

00:28:55.880 on that.

00:28:56.280 We'll circle

00:28:56.680 back to that.

00:28:59.240 All right.

00:29:00.600 CNN,

00:29:01.280 speaking of their

00:29:01.820 lineup,

00:29:02.940 Caitlin Collins,

00:29:03.620 who did that

00:29:04.340 town hall with

00:29:05.160 Trump,

00:29:06.160 is going to

00:29:06.940 take the

00:29:07.440 9 p.m.

00:29:08.260 hour

00:29:08.620 as CNN,

00:29:11.540 which is a

00:29:12.520 prestigious hour.

00:29:14.940 And so she's

00:29:16.320 basically getting

00:29:17.040 promoted

00:29:17.580 right after her

00:29:20.160 town hall performance,

00:29:21.400 which was

00:29:21.780 widely criticized,

00:29:23.600 but not her.

00:29:24.160 I don't think

00:29:25.160 she was criticized.

00:29:26.160 It was CNN

00:29:26.640 that got criticized.

00:29:28.420 Yeah,

00:29:28.920 I thought she did

00:29:29.540 a good job.

00:29:30.180 I tweeted that

00:29:30.800 twice.

00:29:32.420 I think this is

00:29:33.500 smart.

00:29:34.840 It's fun to watch

00:29:35.660 Chris Light,

00:29:36.880 the new head,

00:29:38.980 try to navigate

00:29:39.840 the impossibility

00:29:40.980 of turning CNN

00:29:41.960 into an honest

00:29:43.040 organization.

00:29:44.520 But he's

00:29:45.100 putting in the

00:29:46.280 work.

00:29:47.840 At the very

00:29:48.600 least,

00:29:48.920 he's trying

00:29:49.400 some stuff,

00:29:50.420 right?

00:29:51.400 He's being

00:29:52.680 provocative.

00:29:54.160 He's violating

00:29:56.000 expectations.

00:29:57.360 These are all

00:29:57.740 good things.

00:29:58.920 He's got her

00:29:59.700 attention.

00:30:01.320 You know,

00:30:01.520 he got a lot

00:30:02.760 of Republicans

00:30:03.340 to tune in

00:30:04.080 at least once.

00:30:05.980 And Caitlin

00:30:06.500 Collins,

00:30:07.100 somebody mentioned

00:30:07.740 this,

00:30:08.020 she's 31.

00:30:10.860 Is that the

00:30:11.660 youngest person

00:30:13.620 to have a show

00:30:14.360 like that?

00:30:15.320 Have they ever

00:30:15.740 had anybody

00:30:16.220 who was 31,

00:30:17.240 who had a

00:30:19.280 major hosting

00:30:20.840 job?

00:30:21.420 Or am I

00:30:21.680 forgetting

00:30:22.140 somebody?

00:30:24.160 It feels like

00:30:25.120 the youngest

00:30:25.560 I've heard

00:30:26.080 of.

00:30:27.720 So,

00:30:28.000 so good for

00:30:28.560 her.

00:30:29.000 I think she

00:30:29.440 did good

00:30:29.920 work and

00:30:31.280 deserved her

00:30:31.900 promotion,

00:30:32.560 if that's what

00:30:33.000 it is.

00:30:34.280 Speaking of

00:30:34.880 CNN,

00:30:35.680 Christina

00:30:36.120 Amanpour

00:30:36.980 gave a speech

00:30:38.740 somewhere and

00:30:39.300 she said she

00:30:39.880 doesn't believe

00:30:40.400 she's in a

00:30:40.880 post-truth

00:30:41.420 world.

00:30:41.920 They got a lot

00:30:42.320 of attention

00:30:42.860 because she

00:30:44.020 was making

00:30:44.400 the case that

00:30:45.360 CNN should

00:30:47.180 maybe not

00:30:47.780 have held

00:30:48.120 that town

00:30:48.640 hall the way

00:30:49.200 they did it.

00:30:50.120 She didn't

00:30:50.540 think that was

00:30:50.980 a good look,

00:30:51.880 told her boss,

00:30:52.620 she says.

00:30:54.160 But,

00:30:54.480 and she

00:30:56.660 says the

00:30:57.120 truth matters

00:30:57.820 and that they

00:30:58.380 can't just

00:30:58.840 take both

00:30:59.360 sides on

00:30:59.840 everything.

00:31:01.040 Sometimes you

00:31:01.740 just got to

00:31:02.160 follow the

00:31:02.560 truth as

00:31:03.660 opposed to

00:31:04.180 the both

00:31:04.680 sides of

00:31:05.140 it.

00:31:06.060 Now,

00:31:07.220 doesn't that

00:31:08.140 all sound

00:31:08.640 just funny

00:31:09.340 coming from

00:31:10.220 a long-time

00:31:10.980 CNN employee?

00:31:13.260 Doesn't it

00:31:13.720 sound sort

00:31:14.640 of ridiculous?

00:31:16.460 Does she

00:31:17.160 know where

00:31:17.500 she works?

00:31:18.040 She works

00:31:19.880 at the

00:31:20.180 biggest

00:31:20.580 distributor

00:31:23.460 of fake

00:31:24.040 news in

00:31:25.460 modern times,

00:31:26.640 except for

00:31:27.880 maybe MSNBC.

00:31:30.120 So,

00:31:31.180 I have to

00:31:33.060 wonder about

00:31:33.580 the level of

00:31:34.340 self-awareness.

00:31:36.320 She knows

00:31:36.940 that CNN

00:31:37.460 pushed the

00:31:38.140 Russia collusion

00:31:38.980 hoax quite a

00:31:41.800 bit, right?

00:31:43.180 And, you know,

00:31:44.520 she knows

00:31:44.960 about the

00:31:45.600 laptop.

00:31:46.040 She knows

00:31:47.620 all the

00:31:47.920 fake news

00:31:48.440 that CNN

00:31:48.880 has pushed.

00:31:50.240 She's not

00:31:50.740 unaware of

00:31:51.460 that, is

00:31:51.780 she?

00:31:52.280 So, I

00:31:52.700 actually wonder

00:31:53.260 if there's

00:31:53.640 some kind

00:31:53.920 of weird

00:31:54.200 cognitive

00:31:54.820 dissonance

00:31:55.380 going on

00:31:55.980 where she

00:31:56.660 actually thinks

00:31:57.620 that the

00:31:58.040 things she's

00:31:58.660 saying are

00:31:59.820 rational and

00:32:00.880 fit the

00:32:02.140 context of

00:32:02.940 her life.

00:32:04.460 It doesn't

00:32:04.960 at all.

00:32:05.760 It looks

00:32:06.160 absolutely

00:32:06.920 absurd that

00:32:08.360 she would

00:32:08.680 get up there

00:32:09.060 and talk

00:32:09.360 about honesty

00:32:10.040 in the

00:32:11.340 news while

00:32:12.760 working for

00:32:13.360 CNN.

00:32:13.980 That's the

00:32:14.380 most incompatible

00:32:16.020 things you

00:32:16.480 could possibly

00:32:17.000 do.

00:32:17.900 Now, I

00:32:18.180 could have,

00:32:18.600 you know,

00:32:18.760 it's not

00:32:19.020 just CNN.

00:32:20.280 It could

00:32:20.600 have been

00:32:20.840 some other

00:32:21.340 news organization.

00:32:23.160 But, I

00:32:24.860 don't know,

00:32:25.300 it's a bad

00:32:25.820 look because

00:32:26.780 it makes you

00:32:27.220 wonder if

00:32:27.880 she's in

00:32:28.680 control of

00:32:29.280 her faculties

00:32:30.600 or is she

00:32:32.120 just lying or

00:32:33.580 is she

00:32:33.960 experiencing

00:32:34.820 some mental

00:32:35.420 phenomenon.

00:32:36.360 You don't

00:32:36.720 know, but

00:32:37.920 it's fascinating.

00:32:39.680 So, speaking

00:32:40.340 of that,

00:32:41.200 that, so

00:32:43.260 Christina

00:32:43.860 Amanpour

00:32:44.420 wants CNN

00:32:45.280 to stick

00:32:46.720 to the

00:32:47.160 real serious

00:32:47.980 news and

00:32:48.520 not be a

00:32:50.800 bullsizer.

00:32:52.040 The same

00:32:52.460 day she

00:32:52.900 said that,

00:32:53.720 or at least

00:32:54.200 it's reported,

00:32:56.040 CNN has a

00:32:57.240 Stephen

00:32:57.620 Collinson

00:32:58.120 opinion piece

00:32:58.940 in which he

00:33:01.000 says the

00:33:01.440 following things.

00:33:02.160 Now, he's

00:33:02.380 talking about

00:33:02.940 Trump's big

00:33:04.340 danger, the

00:33:05.420 walls are

00:33:05.800 closing in,

00:33:06.800 because of

00:33:07.220 those documents.

00:33:08.880 You know,

00:33:09.120 all those other

00:33:09.720 times the walls

00:33:10.400 were closing

00:33:10.880 in, ignore

00:33:12.500 those.

00:33:13.500 Ignore those.

00:33:14.280 They tell you

00:33:14.740 nothing.

00:33:15.820 This new

00:33:16.480 thing, oh, the

00:33:17.440 walls are

00:33:17.860 closing in on

00:33:18.660 this.

00:33:19.460 The walls are

00:33:20.140 closing in.

00:33:20.820 And let me

00:33:21.160 tell you how

00:33:22.200 Stephen Collinson

00:33:23.360 explains these

00:33:24.280 walls closing

00:33:25.000 in.

00:33:26.400 So, CNN,

00:33:27.240 this is in his

00:33:28.020 opinion piece,

00:33:28.740 CNN reported

00:33:29.440 that the

00:33:29.980 National Archives

00:33:31.100 plans to

00:33:33.620 hand 16

00:33:34.400 documents over

00:33:35.220 to the

00:33:35.440 special counsel

00:33:36.180 that show

00:33:37.260 Trump knew

00:33:38.420 the correct

00:33:39.720 procedure

00:33:40.380 for

00:33:40.780 declassifying

00:33:41.800 materials.

00:33:42.920 Uh-oh.

00:33:44.340 Uh-oh.

00:33:47.060 Trump knew

00:33:47.980 the correct

00:33:48.740 procedure because

00:33:51.060 he used it

00:33:51.780 for some

00:33:52.200 documents.

00:33:53.320 But then

00:33:53.860 there were

00:33:54.200 other documents

00:33:55.340 in which he

00:33:56.480 did not use

00:33:57.140 that procedure,

00:33:58.060 the one that

00:33:58.640 he knew was

00:33:59.180 the correct

00:33:59.580 one.

00:34:00.800 So, walls

00:34:01.680 are closing

00:34:02.140 in, he's

00:34:02.800 dead.

00:34:03.820 It means there

00:34:04.400 was definitely

00:34:04.920 something sketchy

00:34:05.840 going on.

00:34:07.400 There we go.

00:34:07.860 So, I

00:34:12.240 think you

00:34:12.540 heard me.

00:34:13.200 Did you

00:34:13.460 hear me on

00:34:14.040 YouTube or

00:34:15.860 did you

00:34:16.140 miss that

00:34:16.520 part?

00:34:18.660 A little

00:34:19.280 buffering

00:34:19.760 problem over

00:34:20.380 there.

00:34:21.900 You missed

00:34:22.540 it?

00:34:22.860 I'll quickly

00:34:23.600 repeat it.

00:34:24.420 So, Stephen

00:34:24.880 Collinson,

00:34:25.500 opinion piece,

00:34:26.120 CNN, says

00:34:27.520 Trump knew

00:34:28.740 the proper

00:34:29.400 process for

00:34:30.120 handling the

00:34:30.860 secret documents

00:34:32.240 because he

00:34:33.140 used the

00:34:33.660 proper

00:34:33.920 process.

00:34:36.120 So, we

00:34:36.720 know he

00:34:37.040 knew the

00:34:37.400 proper

00:34:37.680 process because

00:34:38.460 he used

00:34:38.840 it.

00:34:39.740 But then

00:34:40.360 these other

00:34:40.800 documents, he

00:34:41.440 didn't use

00:34:41.820 that process.

00:34:43.200 So, how

00:34:43.620 can he say

00:34:44.180 it's just

00:34:44.640 automatically

00:34:45.360 declassified

00:34:48.100 when I

00:34:48.460 took them?

00:34:51.420 Now,

00:34:52.180 Stephen

00:34:52.560 Collinson does

00:34:53.440 not offer

00:34:54.000 any possibility

00:34:55.000 why that

00:34:56.660 would be

00:34:57.000 okay.

00:34:57.400 so I

00:35:00.020 will because

00:35:01.400 it's fake

00:35:02.000 news if

00:35:02.500 you don't

00:35:02.780 offer the

00:35:03.260 context.

00:35:04.740 The context

00:35:05.220 is there

00:35:06.560 is no

00:35:07.160 written

00:35:08.660 required

00:35:09.480 process for

00:35:10.440 how to

00:35:11.220 declassify

00:35:12.360 things.

00:35:14.260 So, here's

00:35:14.800 what Collinson

00:35:16.220 is doing.

00:35:17.780 Collinson is

00:35:18.440 conflating the

00:35:19.360 fact that a

00:35:20.800 process was

00:35:21.740 used with

00:35:23.740 the fact that

00:35:24.380 there is a

00:35:24.940 process.

00:35:26.180 Those are

00:35:26.720 not the

00:35:27.060 same.

00:35:27.920 There is

00:35:28.540 no official

00:35:29.320 process, but

00:35:31.180 they did

00:35:31.620 sometimes use

00:35:32.400 one.

00:35:34.080 That does

00:35:34.800 not obligate

00:35:35.580 the president

00:35:36.420 to use it

00:35:37.040 again.

00:35:39.520 It's

00:35:40.000 simply

00:35:40.320 something he

00:35:40.860 did once,

00:35:41.980 or more

00:35:42.580 than once.

00:35:43.600 So, he

00:35:44.080 knew a way

00:35:45.100 to do it

00:35:45.500 without getting

00:35:46.040 in trouble,

00:35:47.480 and I would

00:35:47.960 give you that.

00:35:48.700 He knew a

00:35:49.120 way to do

00:35:49.500 it where

00:35:50.240 nobody would

00:35:50.740 ask questions.

00:35:52.200 But he's

00:35:52.580 additionally

00:35:53.000 made the

00:35:53.460 claim that

00:35:53.920 they were

00:35:54.180 automatically

00:35:54.780 declassified

00:35:55.720 when I

00:35:56.040 took them,

00:35:56.480 and I

00:35:57.400 100%

00:35:58.240 agree with

00:35:58.760 that statement,

00:35:59.720 even in

00:36:00.520 the context

00:36:01.180 of having

00:36:02.480 used a

00:36:03.740 real system

00:36:04.400 of getting

00:36:05.260 approvals and

00:36:06.120 checking it

00:36:06.540 with people,

00:36:07.500 getting signatures

00:36:08.420 and stuff,

00:36:09.420 because the

00:36:10.540 president has

00:36:11.900 the sole

00:36:12.380 power to

00:36:14.060 decide what

00:36:14.760 the process

00:36:15.180 is.

00:36:15.620 And you

00:36:15.820 know what

00:36:16.020 the president

00:36:17.300 is not

00:36:17.920 required to

00:36:18.560 do?

00:36:18.740 here's

00:36:20.060 what the

00:36:20.320 president

00:36:20.600 is not

00:36:21.040 required by

00:36:21.660 any law

00:36:22.380 or statute

00:36:23.460 or constitution.

00:36:25.580 He does

00:36:26.300 not need

00:36:26.720 to tell

00:36:27.080 you what

00:36:28.400 the process

00:36:28.880 is.

00:36:30.400 So, the

00:36:31.080 president can

00:36:31.740 legally decide

00:36:33.180 in his head

00:36:34.000 that the

00:36:34.760 process is,

00:36:35.560 if I walk

00:36:36.000 out the door

00:36:36.540 with these,

00:36:37.900 they're

00:36:38.160 declassified.

00:36:39.960 Because in

00:36:40.620 my head,

00:36:41.000 that's the

00:36:41.300 process.

00:36:42.760 Completely

00:36:43.280 legal.

00:36:44.620 100%

00:36:45.360 legal.

00:36:45.760 In my

00:36:46.640 head, I

00:36:47.780 thought, well,

00:36:48.420 these are

00:36:48.660 declassified.

00:36:49.940 I don't need

00:36:50.440 to tell

00:36:50.740 anybody.

00:36:52.160 There is

00:36:52.560 no process.

00:36:54.080 Taking

00:36:54.360 them out

00:36:54.800 the door

00:36:55.180 is a very

00:36:56.780 clear indication

00:36:57.720 that I no

00:36:59.000 longer want

00:36:59.560 these classified.

00:37:01.240 That's

00:37:01.760 unambiguous,

00:37:02.520 isn't it?

00:37:03.200 There's no

00:37:03.920 ambiguity

00:37:04.620 with a

00:37:06.660 president with

00:37:07.280 a box full

00:37:07.960 of documents

00:37:08.600 walking out

00:37:09.240 the door.

00:37:10.860 That leaves

00:37:11.620 nothing to

00:37:12.140 the imagination.

00:37:13.540 These are

00:37:13.940 documents that

00:37:15.060 I do not

00:37:15.640 plan to

00:37:16.320 have the

00:37:16.680 same

00:37:16.960 security

00:37:17.580 control as

00:37:19.260 those ones

00:37:19.760 I left

00:37:20.100 back in

00:37:20.560 the secure

00:37:21.000 place.

00:37:22.360 What could

00:37:22.880 be more

00:37:23.260 clear that

00:37:24.820 he doesn't

00:37:25.280 want them

00:37:25.600 declassified

00:37:26.280 than taking

00:37:26.760 them out

00:37:27.140 the door?

00:37:28.500 That's 100%

00:37:29.620 clear.

00:37:31.320 And there

00:37:31.720 is no

00:37:32.140 process that

00:37:33.840 he has to

00:37:34.520 live to.

00:37:35.620 So CNN

00:37:36.300 is, you

00:37:38.380 know, the

00:37:38.600 same day

00:37:39.020 that Christina

00:37:39.620 Amanpour is

00:37:40.320 saying, oh,

00:37:40.880 CNN, we've

00:37:41.500 got to report

00:37:41.900 these honest

00:37:42.440 things.

00:37:43.240 It's the

00:37:43.600 same week

00:37:44.060 they're getting

00:37:44.440 lambasted for

00:37:45.500 you know, the

00:37:48.020 Russian collusion

00:37:48.880 reporting, and

00:37:50.860 the same time

00:37:51.440 they're trying to

00:37:52.000 conflate the

00:37:53.480 fact that some

00:37:54.220 procedure was

00:37:55.100 made up and

00:37:55.840 used with

00:37:57.320 whether one

00:37:57.820 exists.

00:38:00.580 It's complete

00:38:01.380 fake news.

00:38:02.840 And they must

00:38:03.500 know it, don't

00:38:04.780 you think?

00:38:05.280 I mean, I don't

00:38:05.760 know.

00:38:06.100 I can't read

00:38:06.520 their minds.

00:38:07.240 You don't

00:38:07.560 think Stephen

00:38:08.140 Collinson knows

00:38:09.120 that there's no

00:38:10.620 process, and yet

00:38:12.580 he's still reporting

00:38:13.320 it like there was?

00:38:14.060 Of course he

00:38:14.980 knows.

00:38:16.200 Because everybody

00:38:16.900 knows.

00:38:17.520 I'm not even a

00:38:18.480 news person, I

00:38:19.100 know it.

00:38:19.880 How many of you

00:38:20.460 knew that?

00:38:22.020 How many of you

00:38:22.820 already knew that

00:38:24.500 there is no

00:38:25.260 written or

00:38:25.920 constitutional process

00:38:27.580 for declassifying if

00:38:28.980 you're the

00:38:29.220 president?

00:38:30.520 Look at all the

00:38:31.220 people who knew

00:38:31.640 that.

00:38:32.540 Like, we all knew

00:38:33.240 it, and you

00:38:33.580 think CNN, like

00:38:34.800 somebody who does

00:38:35.560 it for a living,

00:38:36.840 he covers Trump

00:38:37.620 for a living.

00:38:39.100 You think he

00:38:39.600 doesn't know that

00:38:40.200 there's no

00:38:40.580 process?

00:38:41.060 And he

00:38:42.940 reports that

00:38:43.480 there is.

00:38:45.380 That's purely

00:38:46.400 fake news.

00:38:48.200 What else could

00:38:49.420 it be?

00:38:50.260 How else could

00:38:50.920 you interpret

00:38:51.440 this, other

00:38:52.900 than they're

00:38:53.320 lying, and

00:38:54.340 know they're

00:38:54.880 doing it?

00:38:56.040 Lying by

00:38:56.860 omission, you

00:38:57.780 know, leaving

00:38:58.160 out an important

00:38:58.920 part of the

00:38:59.300 story.

00:39:01.740 All right.

00:39:04.640 So, I saw

00:39:07.380 Fox News, at

00:39:08.340 least the

00:39:08.600 website, looks

00:39:09.600 like they're

00:39:09.940 going hard

00:39:10.440 at Jake

00:39:11.700 Tapper.

00:39:14.820 You know, it's

00:39:15.880 a big chess

00:39:16.720 board, and

00:39:17.420 if the left

00:39:20.400 can take

00:39:21.020 Tucker Carlson's

00:39:22.220 piece off the

00:39:23.300 chess board,

00:39:24.400 you know, they're

00:39:24.820 going to do

00:39:25.160 it.

00:39:25.960 So, there's

00:39:26.680 still some

00:39:27.080 disagreement

00:39:27.540 whether there

00:39:28.540 was a secret

00:39:29.760 verbal agreement

00:39:30.780 with Dominion

00:39:32.280 to get rid

00:39:32.860 of Tucker.

00:39:34.280 Do you

00:39:34.900 believe there

00:39:35.420 was a secret

00:39:36.280 verbal agreement

00:39:37.680 to get rid

00:39:39.020 of Tucker?

00:39:40.240 I don't.

00:39:42.560 By the way,

00:39:43.320 Tucker is

00:39:43.820 saying that

00:39:44.540 reportedly a

00:39:47.440 board member

00:39:48.140 told him

00:39:49.080 that.

00:39:49.940 Now, I

00:39:50.320 don't disagree

00:39:51.500 that a board

00:39:52.180 member may

00:39:52.700 have said

00:39:53.100 it.

00:39:54.080 So, that

00:39:54.440 part I don't

00:39:55.320 have a feeling

00:39:55.900 about.

00:39:56.320 A board

00:39:56.640 member might

00:39:57.220 have said

00:39:57.620 it.

00:39:58.960 But, I

00:40:00.480 don't live

00:40:00.920 in a world

00:40:01.360 where any

00:40:01.860 lawyer would

00:40:02.480 let you do

00:40:02.960 that.

00:40:04.920 Am I

00:40:05.480 wrong?

00:40:06.220 Are there

00:40:06.520 any lawyers

00:40:07.000 here who

00:40:07.920 can tell

00:40:08.280 me that

00:40:08.720 with a

00:40:09.100 deal of

00:40:09.540 that size

00:40:10.340 and that

00:40:10.980 visibility

00:40:11.560 everything

00:40:13.220 would be

00:40:13.660 written down

00:40:14.240 or it

00:40:15.340 wouldn't

00:40:15.660 apply?

00:40:18.300 I see

00:40:19.060 no chance

00:40:20.060 of a

00:40:20.460 verbal

00:40:20.740 agreement

00:40:21.300 because he

00:40:22.660 wasn't let

00:40:23.160 go until

00:40:23.640 the deal

00:40:24.220 was made.

00:40:25.840 The deal

00:40:26.480 was done

00:40:27.040 and then

00:40:27.880 they let

00:40:28.220 him go.

00:40:28.940 Who in

00:40:29.400 the world

00:40:30.000 would have

00:40:30.660 trusted that

00:40:31.340 after the

00:40:31.980 deal was

00:40:32.380 agreed on

00:40:33.000 that somebody

00:40:34.120 would do

00:40:34.520 something that

00:40:35.080 damaging to

00:40:35.740 their own

00:40:36.060 business?

00:40:37.940 I don't

00:40:38.580 believe that.

00:40:39.620 I do

00:40:40.000 believe Tucker

00:40:40.660 meaning that

00:40:42.040 somebody told

00:40:42.780 him it

00:40:43.080 happened.

00:40:44.260 So that

00:40:44.540 part,

00:40:45.380 there's no

00:40:45.860 history of

00:40:46.300 Tucker just

00:40:46.820 making shit

00:40:47.440 up.

00:40:49.140 Right?

00:40:49.500 I mean,

00:40:49.860 he can be

00:40:50.300 wrong like

00:40:50.800 anybody can

00:40:51.340 be wrong,

00:40:52.440 but he has

00:40:53.560 no history

00:40:53.960 of just making

00:40:54.500 shit up.

00:40:55.800 So I'm

00:40:56.080 sure somebody

00:40:57.040 told him

00:40:57.520 that.

00:40:58.020 I just

00:40:58.360 don't think

00:40:58.680 it's true.

00:41:01.120 The deal

00:41:01.780 hasn't closed

00:41:02.440 yet?

00:41:03.280 I get that,

00:41:04.360 but it's

00:41:04.600 been announced.

00:41:05.740 And that

00:41:07.600 would be

00:41:08.120 too much

00:41:09.480 pregnant to

00:41:10.160 try to

00:41:10.440 pull it

00:41:10.700 back and

00:41:11.260 renegotiate.

00:41:14.200 All right.

00:41:16.400 But anyway,

00:41:17.280 Fox News is

00:41:17.860 going after

00:41:18.240 Jake Tapper

00:41:19.060 as part of

00:41:20.500 his Russia

00:41:22.140 collusion

00:41:22.620 hoax reporting.

00:41:24.060 He had

00:41:24.420 James Clapper

00:41:25.620 on and all

00:41:26.460 kinds of

00:41:26.820 people to

00:41:27.460 lie.

00:41:29.540 I guess

00:41:30.240 I'll defend

00:41:30.980 Jake Tapper

00:41:32.980 a little bit

00:41:33.660 here,

00:41:33.900 which is

00:41:35.600 it is

00:41:36.820 news if

00:41:38.140 people make

00:41:38.660 claims.

00:41:39.860 If James

00:41:40.720 Clapper is

00:41:41.380 making a

00:41:42.040 claim of

00:41:44.200 this size,

00:41:45.080 it is

00:41:45.960 appropriate to

00:41:46.580 have him

00:41:46.900 on.

00:41:48.140 So I

00:41:48.760 can't push

00:41:50.440 back on him

00:41:51.080 for having

00:41:51.560 guests on

00:41:52.160 that lied

00:41:52.640 to him,

00:41:53.100 because Tucker

00:41:53.620 had guests

00:41:54.100 on that lied

00:41:54.640 as well.

00:41:55.700 Or were

00:41:56.080 wrong,

00:41:56.780 we don't

00:41:57.060 know.

00:41:57.940 But having

00:41:58.780 people on

00:41:59.320 who lie,

00:41:59.920 that's not a

00:42:00.780 crime, so I

00:42:01.360 don't think he

00:42:01.760 can hold that

00:42:02.220 against him.

00:42:03.380 But we

00:42:05.020 can compare

00:42:05.640 the following.

00:42:07.940 When Tucker

00:42:08.940 Carlson had

00:42:09.920 Sidney Powell

00:42:10.900 on, he

00:42:11.960 listened to

00:42:12.500 Waller's story,

00:42:13.600 which is his

00:42:14.200 job, and

00:42:15.480 presented it.

00:42:16.900 And then when

00:42:18.280 he tried to

00:42:18.920 get it verified

00:42:19.660 and couldn't

00:42:20.260 get it verified,

00:42:21.400 he did a

00:42:22.120 monologue in

00:42:22.920 which he said

00:42:23.500 there's no

00:42:24.120 evidence for

00:42:25.220 these claims.

00:42:26.720 And he was

00:42:27.520 pretty clear

00:42:28.360 about it.

00:42:28.880 There is

00:42:30.040 no evidence

00:42:30.940 and showed

00:42:33.240 his lack

00:42:34.860 of believing

00:42:35.300 it.

00:42:35.820 I don't

00:42:36.260 believe that

00:42:36.920 Jake Tapper

00:42:37.620 ever doubted

00:42:40.060 the Russia

00:42:41.480 collusion story

00:42:42.420 in a public

00:42:43.600 way.

00:42:44.080 I don't know

00:42:44.460 what he

00:42:44.680 privately

00:42:44.980 thought.

00:42:45.640 But I don't

00:42:46.080 believe he

00:42:46.420 ever publicly

00:42:47.120 said, you

00:42:47.540 know what,

00:42:48.420 this story's

00:42:49.100 not checking

00:42:50.260 out.

00:42:52.320 Yeah.

00:42:53.080 So I'd

00:42:55.620 be surprised

00:42:56.180 if Tapper

00:42:56.800 is still there

00:42:57.400 by the

00:42:58.180 election day

00:42:59.520 2024.

00:43:01.540 I feel

00:43:02.140 like,

00:43:03.340 I just

00:43:05.400 feel like

00:43:05.780 he's not

00:43:06.760 going to

00:43:07.020 survive the

00:43:07.720 new era.

00:43:11.920 Yeah.

00:43:12.340 And,

00:43:13.340 yeah, I

00:43:15.560 just don't

00:43:15.860 see him

00:43:16.180 lasting.

00:43:17.620 All right.

00:43:21.240 Jonathan

00:43:21.880 Turley,

00:43:23.220 who is

00:43:24.060 becoming,

00:43:25.240 rapidly

00:43:25.540 becoming my

00:43:26.280 favorite

00:43:26.660 political

00:43:27.440 observer,

00:43:29.100 he's

00:43:31.400 dumping on

00:43:32.100 Philip Bump

00:43:32.980 at the

00:43:33.380 Washington

00:43:33.740 Post,

00:43:34.600 because

00:43:34.860 Philip Bump

00:43:35.740 is still

00:43:36.200 trying to,

00:43:37.000 I think

00:43:38.840 he's still

00:43:39.500 trying to

00:43:39.920 say that

00:43:40.280 the

00:43:40.440 Russia

00:43:40.640 collusion

00:43:41.080 is sort

00:43:42.040 of true.

00:43:46.200 And

00:43:46.800 Turley

00:43:48.180 just takes

00:43:48.780 him out

00:43:49.060 and he

00:43:49.320 bayonets

00:43:49.820 him in

00:43:50.140 public.

00:43:51.240 It's the

00:43:51.980 most wonderful

00:43:52.720 bayoneting of

00:43:53.840 a public

00:43:54.340 figure you'll

00:43:54.960 ever see.

00:43:55.380 Because the

00:43:57.160 Washington Post

00:43:57.740 and the

00:43:58.360 other entities,

00:44:00.820 they just

00:44:01.100 got murdered.

00:44:02.660 Just got

00:44:03.320 murdered by

00:44:03.980 the Durham

00:44:05.040 report saying

00:44:05.840 they'd all

00:44:06.240 been reporting

00:44:06.820 bullshit for

00:44:07.460 years.

00:44:08.580 And the

00:44:08.820 Washington Post

00:44:09.360 is among the

00:44:10.080 worst of the

00:44:10.600 bullshit reporters.

00:44:11.760 I mean,

00:44:11.940 they're clearly a

00:44:13.480 fake news

00:44:14.080 company,

00:44:15.740 primarily.

00:44:16.860 They're primarily

00:44:17.480 a fake news

00:44:18.160 company.

00:44:18.880 And Phil

00:44:19.320 Mudd has come

00:44:20.060 after me on

00:44:21.060 Twitter.

00:44:21.920 And I was

00:44:22.580 always wondering,

00:44:24.400 why is this

00:44:25.460 one guy

00:44:26.160 so after

00:44:28.500 me?

00:44:28.940 Like, no

00:44:29.320 matter what I

00:44:29.900 do, Phil

00:44:30.420 Bump will

00:44:30.900 come in and

00:44:31.720 insult me

00:44:32.320 personally on

00:44:33.200 Twitter.

00:44:34.020 And I always

00:44:34.820 thought, God,

00:44:35.600 he doesn't even

00:44:36.120 look like he

00:44:38.400 means it.

00:44:39.700 Like, he looks

00:44:40.200 like he's just

00:44:40.720 being paid to

00:44:41.420 say shit about

00:44:42.160 anybody on

00:44:43.560 one side.

00:44:44.800 He looks,

00:44:46.120 this is not an

00:44:46.940 accusation that he

00:44:47.880 is paid.

00:44:48.400 He acts as

00:44:50.920 someone who's

00:44:51.420 not a real

00:44:51.860 reporter.

00:44:52.900 He doesn't even

00:44:53.500 act like he's

00:44:54.120 supposed to be

00:44:54.620 doing a job of

00:44:55.320 reporting.

00:44:56.080 He acts like he's

00:44:56.980 just some kind of

00:44:57.780 Democrat or CIA

00:44:58.940 operative.

00:45:01.920 There's nothing

00:45:02.660 about him that

00:45:03.260 screams he's

00:45:04.080 really a

00:45:05.260 journalist.

00:45:06.400 It just seems

00:45:07.340 he's an operative

00:45:08.060 of some kind.

00:45:09.600 And watching

00:45:10.780 Turley take him

00:45:11.660 out and bayonet

00:45:13.080 him for all of

00:45:13.860 his past

00:45:14.840 behavior is just

00:45:16.760 a wonderful

00:45:17.320 read.

00:45:17.700 I recommend

00:45:18.320 it.

00:45:18.920 So just

00:45:19.280 Google that.

00:45:20.500 And you

00:45:20.800 should follow

00:45:21.220 Jonathan Turley

00:45:22.020 in general.

00:45:22.780 His writing is

00:45:23.380 spectacular.

00:45:27.120 So this

00:45:29.440 next story goes

00:45:30.280 into the

00:45:30.640 category of

00:45:31.360 why did this

00:45:32.720 take so long?

00:45:35.600 So

00:45:35.980 Congressperson

00:45:37.020 Anna Paulina

00:45:38.280 Luna is,

00:45:40.880 she filed a

00:45:42.920 motion to

00:45:43.400 expel Adam

00:45:44.360 Schiff from

00:45:45.220 the U.S.

00:45:45.860 House of

00:45:46.200 Representatives

00:45:46.740 for lying

00:45:48.160 about the

00:45:49.320 Russia

00:45:51.180 collusion.

00:45:53.600 Now,

00:45:54.360 what took

00:45:55.600 so long?

00:45:58.240 There could

00:45:59.040 never be a

00:45:59.900 more obvious

00:46:00.620 case where

00:46:01.640 somebody should

00:46:02.280 be losing

00:46:03.120 their job.

00:46:05.260 Have you

00:46:05.540 ever,

00:46:06.000 in the history

00:46:06.760 of jobs,

00:46:08.460 have you ever

00:46:08.960 heard any

00:46:09.900 situation that

00:46:11.620 was as bad as

00:46:12.420 what Adam

00:46:12.880 Schiff did?

00:46:13.360 he literally

00:46:14.920 tried to

00:46:15.400 change the

00:46:15.940 government

00:46:16.360 based on

00:46:17.560 looking at

00:46:18.060 secret

00:46:18.600 information that

00:46:19.440 he was

00:46:19.820 privileged to

00:46:20.600 see and

00:46:21.540 then lying

00:46:22.020 about it in

00:46:22.560 public repeatedly

00:46:23.420 to change the

00:46:25.000 nature of the

00:46:25.540 government.

00:46:26.980 That's as low

00:46:27.920 as you can get.

00:46:29.860 Yeah.

00:46:30.280 On the list of

00:46:31.320 crimes,

00:46:32.380 that should be

00:46:33.160 execution.

00:46:35.740 That's not a

00:46:36.500 joke, by the way.

00:46:37.120 In terms of

00:46:38.240 the severity of

00:46:39.280 what Adam

00:46:39.720 Schiff did,

00:46:40.680 as far as I

00:46:41.480 know, it's

00:46:41.860 probably legal to

00:46:43.360 lie to the

00:46:43.920 public if you're

00:46:44.640 in Congress,

00:46:45.340 because otherwise

00:46:45.860 they'd all be in

00:46:46.700 jail.

00:46:47.240 So it's probably

00:46:47.920 completely legal.

00:46:49.940 So I'm just

00:46:50.420 going to say,

00:46:51.100 if it were not

00:46:52.180 legal, the

00:46:54.140 correct penalty

00:46:54.820 would be death.

00:46:56.660 What he did to

00:46:57.500 the country, in

00:46:58.640 my opinion,

00:46:59.260 deserves the

00:46:59.840 death penalty.

00:47:02.380 Because he

00:47:03.140 destroyed the

00:47:04.360 integrity of the

00:47:05.740 Republic, he

00:47:07.200 did it

00:47:07.540 intentionally, he

00:47:09.300 did it for

00:47:09.800 personal and

00:47:10.940 other gain, and

00:47:12.920 we know it for

00:47:13.600 sure.

00:47:14.780 We're not

00:47:15.200 guessing.

00:47:16.640 You know, all

00:47:17.060 the guesswork's

00:47:17.740 done.

00:47:18.280 We now know

00:47:19.100 what the truth

00:47:19.720 was.

00:47:21.040 They intentionally

00:47:22.160 lied to the

00:47:22.860 public about the

00:47:23.740 biggest thing you

00:47:25.360 could possibly lie

00:47:26.340 about that would

00:47:27.840 have changed the

00:47:28.620 entire government.

00:47:31.160 That would be the

00:47:32.140 death sentence if

00:47:33.560 it were illegal.

00:47:34.860 Am I wrong?

00:47:36.740 What would be a

00:47:37.620 bigger crime than

00:47:39.260 intentionally destroying

00:47:40.440 the integrity of the

00:47:41.560 entire nation?

00:47:44.740 It's hard to

00:47:45.540 imagine.

00:47:46.440 I mean, other than,

00:47:47.200 you know, some

00:47:47.740 outrageous mass

00:47:48.960 murder, what would

00:47:50.620 be worse?

00:47:51.300 What's more damaging

00:47:52.180 to more people?

00:47:53.880 I mean, it's

00:47:55.820 insanely bad.

00:47:57.440 So, why did it

00:48:01.340 take so long?

00:48:02.080 There was not one

00:48:04.440 other Republican who

00:48:05.920 was willing to say,

00:48:06.760 you know, we all do

00:48:08.760 some bad things, but

00:48:09.820 not that bad.

00:48:11.740 That's a whole

00:48:12.720 different level of

00:48:13.780 lying.

00:48:14.700 That's not normal

00:48:15.820 lying.

00:48:17.100 That's using his

00:48:18.280 privileged security

00:48:21.160 clearance to tell a

00:48:23.220 lie that could destroy

00:48:24.300 the country.

00:48:25.160 I mean, that's just

00:48:26.100 so bad.

00:48:27.460 So, it's a

00:48:30.180 disgrace that only

00:48:31.880 one Republican

00:48:32.660 stepped up and it

00:48:34.040 took so long.

00:48:35.340 I'll let go of the

00:48:36.720 why did it take so

00:48:38.040 long?

00:48:38.740 Because I always

00:48:39.600 mock people who say

00:48:40.480 that.

00:48:41.460 Everything that's

00:48:42.320 good should have

00:48:43.840 been done sooner.

00:48:44.920 Would you agree?

00:48:46.460 Everything that's

00:48:47.260 good should have

00:48:48.720 been done sooner.

00:48:49.500 So, I don't like

00:48:51.000 that, you know,

00:48:52.820 criticism because

00:48:53.800 it's just, it's

00:48:54.680 like air.

00:48:55.280 It's just universal.

00:48:57.560 But the why didn't

00:48:59.300 anybody else do it?

00:49:00.820 Or why didn't

00:49:01.740 anybody else sign

00:49:02.660 on to it?

00:49:03.760 That part I don't

00:49:04.700 understand.

00:49:06.040 So, this is

00:49:06.800 somebody who picked

00:49:07.560 up the free money.

00:49:08.620 Anna Paulina Luna.

00:49:11.100 Just want you to

00:49:11.980 hear that name.

00:49:13.480 Maybe we have

00:49:14.340 another superstar.

00:49:16.140 You know, do we

00:49:16.740 have somebody who

00:49:17.440 is an up-and-comer?

00:49:18.260 Somebody who's a

00:49:19.620 DeSantis who can

00:49:20.540 pick up the free

00:49:21.320 money?

00:49:21.900 This was free money.

00:49:23.780 Do you think there's

00:49:24.340 anybody who's a

00:49:25.480 Republican who's

00:49:26.240 going to have a

00:49:26.660 problem with this?

00:49:28.500 No.

00:49:29.540 No, this is going

00:49:30.380 to be super popular.

00:49:32.120 So, why nobody

00:49:32.980 else did it?

00:49:34.700 Like, why only one

00:49:35.780 person could figure

00:49:37.120 out how to, you

00:49:38.440 know, make some

00:49:38.940 money from this?

00:49:40.000 Is that her real

00:49:40.620 picture?

00:49:42.620 With two rifles?

00:49:47.360 All right, well,

00:49:48.140 keep an eye on her.

00:49:49.560 She might be one

00:49:50.940 to watch.

00:49:55.840 Did you know that

00:49:56.660 economics is just a

00:49:59.400 big word for guessing?

00:50:02.560 You know, this is a

00:50:04.340 true story.

00:50:04.920 So, my degree is in

00:50:06.080 economics, as I say

00:50:07.180 too often.

00:50:08.160 And one of the

00:50:08.860 reasons that I didn't

00:50:09.720 pursue economics as a

00:50:11.120 field is that it felt

00:50:12.560 too much like just

00:50:13.600 guessing.

00:50:13.960 Because it doesn't

00:50:16.200 predict anything.

00:50:17.880 If economics could

00:50:19.200 predict things, well,

00:50:20.740 then you'd have

00:50:21.220 something.

00:50:22.380 Right?

00:50:22.640 There you'd have

00:50:23.140 something.

00:50:23.780 Now, you could predict

00:50:24.680 maybe the most obvious

00:50:26.540 things.

00:50:28.380 But do you remember

00:50:29.360 when we said a trillion

00:50:30.500 dollars in national debt

00:50:31.740 was way too much?

00:50:33.160 There's no way we're

00:50:34.060 going to survive that.

00:50:35.660 And now it's like

00:50:36.620 30 trillion.

00:50:37.340 Obviously, we had no

00:50:41.300 understanding of how

00:50:42.320 much debt we could

00:50:43.020 handle.

00:50:43.840 Now, I do think maybe

00:50:44.960 we can't handle this

00:50:46.240 much.

00:50:47.360 But the one trillion

00:50:48.480 was never a risk.

00:50:50.240 And yet, economics.

00:50:52.160 We thought it was.

00:50:54.960 Here's a couple more

00:50:55.900 examples.

00:50:58.460 What would you say

00:50:59.560 about people leaving

00:51:01.420 New York?

00:51:02.860 Do you think that

00:51:03.540 there are rich people?

00:51:05.520 Do you think rich people

00:51:06.900 are leaving New York?

00:51:10.260 The news would suggest

00:51:11.480 they are, right?

00:51:12.560 You say no?

00:51:15.540 Now, because we know

00:51:16.500 there's less occupancy

00:51:17.640 of the office buildings.

00:51:21.440 But don't you think

00:51:22.240 that residents are also

00:51:23.760 leaving New York?

00:51:26.220 Well, I don't know the

00:51:27.240 answer to that question.

00:51:28.440 I don't know if they are

00:51:29.240 or not.

00:51:29.600 But I thought they were.

00:51:30.960 But here's the surprise.

00:51:32.800 The average rent in

00:51:34.060 Manhattan is one.

00:51:35.500 Way up.

00:51:37.660 It's actually more

00:51:39.560 expensive to live there.

00:51:41.120 It's like at an

00:51:41.880 all-time high.

00:51:43.480 Didn't you think that

00:51:44.280 the rent would come

00:51:44.940 down because people

00:51:46.140 would get out of the

00:51:46.860 city because it's

00:51:47.500 crumbling?

00:51:50.380 So was that

00:51:51.160 predictable?

00:51:52.340 To me, that was

00:51:53.260 opposite of predictable.

00:51:55.000 Now, I understand,

00:51:55.780 yeah, inflation,

00:51:56.640 blah, blah, blah.

00:51:57.560 But office buildings

00:52:00.240 are losing residents

00:52:01.460 and they're lowering

00:52:02.260 their prices.

00:52:02.820 So if offices in the

00:52:07.160 same city had to

00:52:08.100 lower their prices,

00:52:10.280 and I get that's

00:52:10.960 because of the hybrid

00:52:11.940 working situation,

00:52:13.340 but I thought people

00:52:14.320 were moving out.

00:52:15.960 Anyway, so my point is

00:52:17.320 that I don't think that

00:52:18.160 was predictable.

00:52:19.800 You want another one

00:52:20.720 that's not predictable?

00:52:23.160 Black employment is the

00:52:25.600 strongest it's ever been.

00:52:27.040 at the same time that

00:52:29.680 we're having masses

00:52:30.620 of immigration folks

00:52:33.840 coming over the border.

00:52:35.700 Didn't the economists

00:52:37.320 tell us that the black

00:52:40.340 employment rate would be

00:52:41.520 the one that hit the

00:52:42.620 hardest because all these

00:52:44.200 workers would be coming

00:52:45.240 in and competing for

00:52:46.600 jobs and underbidding

00:52:49.180 and stuff like that?

00:52:50.280 Didn't you think that

00:52:51.240 black employment would be

00:52:53.340 really a problem because

00:52:54.780 of all the immigration?

00:52:55.580 It's not.

00:52:58.240 It's not.

00:52:59.180 Apparently, blacks are

00:53:00.720 doing great in terms of

00:53:02.480 the best unemployment

00:53:05.580 level that we've ever

00:53:07.040 seen in the history of

00:53:08.660 the country.

00:53:10.380 Yeah, there's probably an

00:53:11.360 age difference in that.

00:53:13.120 You're right.

00:53:14.220 But that was not

00:53:15.180 predictable, right?

00:53:17.320 Economics would have

00:53:18.240 said all this competition

00:53:19.580 coming in at the low end

00:53:21.900 of the economic scales

00:53:23.980 should have affected the

00:53:25.740 other people at the low

00:53:27.000 end of the economic scale

00:53:28.140 in a predictable way.

00:53:29.720 But it was the opposite.

00:53:31.820 We're terrible at

00:53:32.880 predicting.

00:53:35.200 Many of you who are

00:53:36.560 opposed to the massive

00:53:38.660 wave of illegal

00:53:39.960 immigration, which I also

00:53:41.820 oppose, but for slightly

00:53:43.860 different reasons, how many

00:53:45.380 of you are sure that's bad

00:53:47.140 for the economy?

00:53:47.820 How many of you are

00:53:50.240 confident that we have

00:53:51.820 this field of economics

00:53:53.540 that can really

00:53:54.800 obviously tell you

00:53:56.140 what's going to happen

00:53:57.400 next, and that all

00:53:59.160 these immigrants coming

00:54:00.120 in, that's going to be

00:54:00.900 bad for the country,

00:54:01.760 right?

00:54:02.680 Because they're not

00:54:03.540 paying taxes right

00:54:04.440 away, and they might

00:54:07.120 have a drag on medical

00:54:09.540 stuff and bring some

00:54:11.640 crime in.

00:54:12.740 Not a lot, but they do

00:54:14.240 bring in crime.

00:54:14.900 So I don't think you

00:54:18.280 can predict anything

00:54:19.220 anymore.

00:54:20.780 My personal prediction

00:54:22.000 is that immigration,

00:54:23.480 even at its out-of-control

00:54:25.060 levels, ends up positive

00:54:27.120 in one generation.

00:54:29.340 Not right away.

00:54:31.360 So it's expensive in the

00:54:32.460 short term.

00:54:33.520 But I think it's one

00:54:34.620 generation, because those

00:54:35.720 kids go to school, and

00:54:38.240 they end up citizens.

00:54:40.900 They pay their taxes

00:54:41.960 eventually.

00:54:42.360 But I do think that it's

00:54:44.960 becoming a good political

00:54:48.480 thing.

00:54:50.320 I saw a video of some

00:54:52.620 kind of YouTube of four

00:54:54.720 young black guys just

00:54:56.400 talking about politics

00:54:57.380 and stuff.

00:54:58.000 I guess it's a regular

00:54:58.740 show.

00:54:59.700 And they were talking

00:55:00.520 about the immigrants

00:55:01.260 coming in, and the four

00:55:03.440 young black guys all said

00:55:05.060 basically we're on the

00:55:06.500 same page.

00:55:07.100 It's like, what?

00:55:08.220 They're not paying taxes?

00:55:09.500 Which was really good to

00:55:13.780 hear.

00:55:15.080 Like, every once in a

00:55:16.020 while, you think, oh, the

00:55:17.260 country is all divided.

00:55:20.520 But there's one thing that

00:55:21.680 we're not divided on.

00:55:23.260 We don't like taxes.

00:55:25.460 And we don't like other

00:55:26.940 people not to pay them.

00:55:29.020 So the four young black

00:55:30.720 guys who were on the

00:55:31.780 video were just saying,

00:55:33.480 are you kidding?

00:55:34.100 They're letting all these

00:55:34.880 people in.

00:55:35.380 They're shipping them to

00:55:36.040 Chicago, putting them in

00:55:37.600 black neighborhoods, and

00:55:38.500 they don't pay taxes.

00:55:40.320 How is that helping us?

00:55:42.280 Which is the right

00:55:43.120 question to ask.

00:55:44.380 It was exactly the right

00:55:45.320 question.

00:55:45.960 Now, I disagree with

00:55:47.160 them on the economics of

00:55:49.560 it, right?

00:55:51.520 Because I don't think

00:55:52.080 that's predictable.

00:55:53.340 But they're asking the

00:55:54.880 exact right question.

00:55:57.240 Their logic is solid, and

00:56:00.360 their analysis of the

00:56:01.800 situation is on point.

00:56:04.860 Don't know if it's right,

00:56:06.160 because, again, economics is

00:56:07.760 hard to predict.

00:56:08.940 But they're asking all the

00:56:10.040 right questions.

00:56:11.000 I think that's going to be

00:56:12.000 an important factor in the

00:56:14.600 next election.

00:56:23.380 So, let's talk about

00:56:25.880 Ukraine.

00:56:27.080 They either shot down 29 of

00:56:29.240 the 30 Russian missiles that

00:56:30.740 came in last night to Kiev,

00:56:32.140 or, as Russia says, they had

00:56:35.900 massive success attacking.

00:56:38.600 So, it's one of those.

00:56:41.380 Either it was a massive

00:56:42.660 success, or nothing

00:56:44.640 happened.

00:56:45.740 Now, I heard a theory on the

00:56:47.940 news that I had myself, but

00:56:50.240 since I'm not a military

00:56:52.720 person, I kept it to myself

00:56:54.140 until somebody smart said it.

00:56:56.160 And it goes like this.

00:56:57.180 When Zelensky is asked, when

00:56:59.580 is the counteroffensive

00:57:01.040 starting, have you heard his

00:57:03.080 answer to that?

00:57:04.900 Soon.

00:57:06.000 You know, we're not quite

00:57:08.440 ready, but we're almost.

00:57:11.920 You know, I can't tell you

00:57:13.060 when, you know, because putting

00:57:14.880 a date on it would be a

00:57:15.860 mistake, but, yeah, we're

00:57:18.480 getting ready.

00:57:20.240 So, here was my

00:57:21.200 interpretation of that, which I

00:57:22.860 heard somebody else have the

00:57:24.380 same theory, it already

00:57:26.240 started.

00:57:28.960 He's not going to tell you it

00:57:30.180 started, because that would

00:57:32.880 be a disadvantage militarily.

00:57:35.040 He's going to tell you it

00:57:36.040 started well after it starts.

00:57:38.720 You don't announce your

00:57:39.960 attack.

00:57:41.580 You say, I don't know, could

00:57:43.140 happen any time now, when

00:57:44.780 you're actually doing it.

00:57:46.640 Right.

00:57:47.240 So, I think that the

00:57:48.580 counteroffensive is well

00:57:49.880 underway, and our news is not

00:57:53.240 smart enough to fact-check

00:57:55.160 him on that, because they do

00:57:57.500 seem to be, at least they're

00:57:59.220 reporting, taking some

00:58:00.500 territory.

00:58:01.840 I don't know.

00:58:03.140 Who knows?

00:58:03.900 You can't believe anything that

00:58:05.020 comes out of the area, but

00:58:06.100 definitely don't believe

00:58:07.060 Zelensky.

00:58:08.240 When he says, so Joe is

00:58:11.940 mocking me for my lack of

00:58:13.520 military strategy genius.

00:58:17.120 Are you new?

00:58:20.540 Are you new, Joe?

00:58:21.460 First time you've been here?

00:58:24.440 You know I've been making

00:58:25.780 military predictions for a

00:58:27.520 long time, and they've been

00:58:28.840 unusually correct.

00:58:31.760 I don't claim any expertise, but

00:58:34.520 I will tell you that my military

00:58:35.960 predictions have been pretty

00:58:37.340 freaking great, compared to the

00:58:40.000 experts.

00:58:40.960 So far.

00:58:42.800 So far.

00:58:45.540 All right.

00:58:46.200 I'm also hearing that, not from

00:58:51.620 reliable sources, but from

00:58:53.160 sources, that Ukraine is losing

00:58:55.400 something like five to eight times

00:58:57.380 as many people as Russia.

00:58:59.600 Do you believe that?

00:59:01.180 That math doesn't work.

00:59:02.660 I believe that their casualties are

00:59:05.420 heavy, and it might be worse than

00:59:06.660 Russia.

00:59:07.240 But five to eight times more?

00:59:11.460 Nah.

00:59:12.740 I'm sorry.

00:59:13.240 The math of that just doesn't

00:59:15.460 work.

00:59:15.780 They would have run out of

00:59:16.540 people already.

00:59:17.900 I just don't see the math

00:59:19.140 working.

00:59:20.860 I certainly believe that they

00:59:22.540 don't report correctly, so I

00:59:24.700 don't believe the official numbers,

00:59:26.040 of course.

00:59:27.140 But five to eight times more?

00:59:30.580 I just don't see it.

00:59:34.920 Yeah.

00:59:35.620 Yeah.

00:59:36.360 Casualties mean injury.

00:59:38.420 Doesn't mean death, but still.

00:59:39.700 Counting defectors as casualties,

00:59:43.900 maybe.

00:59:47.520 Yeah.

00:59:50.160 Troops are mostly Polish,

00:59:51.920 somebody says.

00:59:57.640 Oh, yeah.

00:59:58.380 I want to give a correction.

00:59:59.380 I saw somebody in the comments

01:00:00.400 talking about this.

01:00:02.000 I had referred to NLP when I was

01:00:04.360 talking about the AI.

01:00:06.160 I thought that Brian Rommel was

01:00:09.120 talking about hypnosis, NLP.

01:00:12.920 But NLP in that context is

01:00:14.440 natural language processing,

01:00:16.860 not neuro-linguistic, whatever.

01:00:24.500 They're surrounded, somebody says.

01:00:26.320 You get the good stuff,

01:00:32.260 the real stuff.

01:00:33.380 Tell us how.

01:00:35.080 Somebody else.

01:00:36.080 Okay.

01:00:37.600 All right.

01:00:38.620 Ladies and gentlemen,

01:00:39.680 that is the conclusion

01:00:42.000 of my prepared thoughts.

01:00:43.260 Was there anything I missed?

01:00:44.800 Anything happening today

01:00:45.740 that I forgot to mention?

01:00:46.700 The Nutria leasing.

01:00:58.200 I don't know.

01:00:58.980 The massacre.

01:01:00.480 Anything about Ukraine,

01:01:02.240 I just shrug.

01:01:03.200 I don't know what's true.

01:01:10.500 Cheap labor.

01:01:11.380 Will the reframe book cover stress?

01:01:16.940 Yes.

01:01:17.940 Some kinds.

01:01:21.980 Cary Lake voter fraud.

01:01:23.980 Was there something that happened

01:01:25.020 in the Cary Lake legal stuff?

01:01:27.100 I didn't see a story about that.

01:01:29.400 Wasn't there supposed to be

01:01:30.540 something that happened?

01:01:37.280 All right.

01:01:38.900 Harry and Megan.

01:01:41.940 Riley Gaines.

01:01:43.660 I feel like the trans story

01:01:46.220 got completely off the headlines.

01:01:49.780 Did you notice that

01:01:50.880 everything was trans, trans, trans,

01:01:53.360 and it just sort of stopped?

01:01:55.400 There's not much of it lately.

01:01:57.440 I was getting pretty tired of it.

01:02:02.120 The verification case should go on.

01:02:04.820 So Cary Lake had a minor success?

01:02:07.100 Yes.

01:02:11.380 I see the comment that there are

01:02:14.380 500 military-age Chinese citizens

01:02:17.960 crossing the border.

01:02:19.940 Is that because we suspect

01:02:21.500 that they're part of the communist regime

01:02:24.900 and they're going to be part

01:02:26.280 of a military takeover?

01:02:27.900 Or do you just think

01:02:29.060 that they're the ones who

01:02:30.220 are just trying to get into America

01:02:32.640 to become Americans?

01:02:33.600 Yeah, no, I believe it's true.

01:02:42.420 I mean, I just don't know

01:02:43.740 that I should worry about it.

01:02:47.520 Because I'm not, you know,

01:02:49.220 I feel people are far more likely

01:02:51.020 coming here because they want

01:02:52.480 to come here as opposed to sabotage.

01:02:55.080 Yes, and I will say again

01:03:11.920 that AI, I think, is overrated.

01:03:14.560 I don't think it'll ever reason

01:03:15.840 and I don't think you're going to

01:03:17.400 confuse it for a human

01:03:18.540 in the foreseeable future.

01:03:21.360 Yeah, you've got to at least

01:03:28.900 consider it, that's true.

01:03:30.260 You have to consider the risk.

01:03:33.420 All right.

01:03:39.300 Yeah, it doesn't take too many terrorists

01:03:41.180 to be a problem.

01:03:42.240 That's the problem.

01:03:47.080 Large language models,

01:03:48.300 they're never going to be logical.

01:03:49.600 They can't.

01:03:51.360 All right.

01:03:54.780 In a long enough timeline,

01:03:56.380 anything's possible,

01:03:57.320 but they would have to invent

01:03:58.400 a new method.

01:04:00.620 The current method of AI

01:04:01.900 doesn't get you to

01:04:03.140 where the machine is smart.

01:04:07.280 I'm going to tell the people

01:04:08.860 and locals of a little experiment

01:04:11.080 that's too dangerous for you, YouTube.

01:04:14.460 Sorry.

01:04:15.960 Sorry.

01:04:17.680 I can't let this thought

01:04:19.080 be into the general public.

01:04:20.520 But I can tell the people

01:04:21.920 on locals because they're special.

01:04:24.100 All right.

01:04:24.720 That's all for you, YouTube.

01:04:26.140 And I'll talk to locals

01:04:27.120 for a little while.

01:04:28.560 And I'll see you in the morning.

01:04:30.820 Bye for now.

01:04:31.320 Bye for now.

01:04:32.460 Bye.

01:04:33.420 Bye.

01:04:33.680 Bye.

01:04:34.940 Aye.

01:04:42.280 Bye.

01:04:43.580 Bye.

01:04:44.140 Bye.

01:04:44.780 Bye.

01:04:45.220 Bye.

01:04:45.840 Bye.

01:04:46.160 Bye.

01:04:46.320 Bye.

01:04:46.720 Bye.

01:04:47.240 Bye.

01:04:47.420 Bye.

01:04:48.140 Bye.

01:04:49.460 Bye.

01:04:49.660 Bye.
