Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2114 Scott Adams： Trump vs DeSantis Strategy, Tim Scott Joins The Race, Kari Lake Might Win

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

00:00:06.860 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:08.860 I'm pretty sure that science has never discovered a more awesome time or situation.

00:00:14.700 And you lucked into it.

00:00:16.420 Wow.

00:00:17.660 I guess your day's starting well.

00:00:19.740 But it could be even better, and all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:23.100 a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:27.780 And fill it with your favorite liquid, no-bud light.

00:00:33.360 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:37.020 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:38.820 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:41.820 Don't forget the ah at the end.

00:00:43.480 Go.

00:00:47.420 Ah.

00:00:49.080 Oh.

00:00:50.960 All right, let's start out with,

00:00:52.620 Did you all see the meme which put Joe Biden's face on Dylan Mulvaney?

00:01:00.280 Well, you're going to see it now.

00:01:01.620 It's with an ice-cold, but like so good.

00:01:08.520 Happy Friday.

00:01:09.680 All right, everyone.

00:01:10.860 So it's Friday night.

00:01:12.000 I'm getting ready to go out.

00:01:13.540 I'm feeling kind.

00:01:15.040 But before I go out, I've got a free game.

00:01:17.140 And the only way I can regain is with an ice-cold, but like so good.

00:01:26.100 Happy Friday.

00:01:28.000 So there are some things that AI will be good for.

00:01:32.800 So in case you were thinking AI, what good is AI?

00:01:36.980 There you go.

00:01:38.560 That's what it's good for.

00:01:40.520 2024 election is going to be so much fun.

00:01:44.420 Oh, my God.

00:01:45.080 It's going to be meme versus meme.

00:01:48.100 All right.

00:01:49.140 So in other news, there's a report of three boats have been sunk in Europe by orcas.

00:01:57.760 Is there a difference between an orca and a whale?

00:02:02.420 Why does this story say orcas?

00:02:04.400 There is a difference?

00:02:07.320 Yeah.

00:02:07.760 Okay.

00:02:09.400 An orca is not a whale.

00:02:11.800 It's a killer whale.

00:02:12.940 Well, why can't I just call it a whale?

00:02:16.280 Because it's an orca, I guess.

00:02:18.800 Well, all right.

00:02:19.520 So these orcas have sunk three boats, but that's not the amazing part.

00:02:23.460 The amazing part is that they've been spotted teaching other orcas how to do it.

00:02:29.840 That's right.

00:02:30.440 The war is on.

00:02:32.300 It turns out that the animals have decided to turn on the humans, and they're just going

00:02:36.660 to kill us after all.

00:02:37.620 And it turns out that the animals have a navy.

00:02:41.800 It's all orcas.

00:02:43.680 And the orcas are trading.

00:02:47.020 I don't know if NATO is trading them or what, but somebody's trading these orcas to attack

00:02:53.060 naval vessels.

00:02:54.580 Keep an eye on that.

00:02:56.100 Keep an eye on that.

00:02:57.000 Did you see a video not too long ago where Joe Rogan was showing a video of a rat that

00:03:08.260 learned to use tools?

00:03:10.300 It went and got a stick to click the rat trap so it could get the cheese without getting hurt.

00:03:15.680 Because it knew what the rat trap was, and it knew that if it used a tool, it could spring

00:03:21.760 it.

00:03:22.420 It actually used a tool, a stick.

00:03:24.660 Now we see these whales learning to attack boats.

00:03:29.420 Put it all together, people.

00:03:31.620 Put it all together.

00:03:33.680 It's not just AI that's getting smarter.

00:03:36.580 Somehow the creatures, the creatures are starting to gang up.

00:03:41.080 See, it's a total head fake.

00:03:43.560 We're all looking at the robots and the AI.

00:03:46.120 It's like, oh, look over there.

00:03:47.420 It's the robots.

00:03:48.660 We're afraid of the robots and the AI.

00:03:50.740 Meanwhile, the orcas and the rats apparently have conspired to take over everything with

00:03:58.460 their tool making and such.

00:04:00.760 All right.

00:04:00.980 We'll keep an eye on that.

00:04:02.660 Here's a story I told in the man cave last night, but you're going to have to hear it

00:04:06.060 because it's important.

00:04:08.420 It's about the simulation.

00:04:09.640 Have you ever had this situation where you worried yourself into the exact problem that

00:04:16.040 you were trying to prevent?

00:04:17.940 Does anybody have that?

00:04:19.580 That's like a real thing, right?

00:04:22.000 There's something that's never happened to you before, and then because you're thinking

00:04:26.500 of it, you just think yourself into the problem.

00:04:28.880 Well, yesterday, I went to take a ride in my e-bike, and uncharacteristically, I thought

00:04:37.180 to myself, you know what?

00:04:39.180 I'd hate to fall off my e-bike because I'm at that age now where if you get a serious sporting

00:04:45.340 injury, you know, maybe you don't come back.

00:04:49.180 It's kind of the end of your sporting life if you have a bad one.

00:04:52.380 And so I thought to myself about falling off my e-bike, and, you know, it's not like I've

00:04:57.000 never thought of it, it's just I've never dwelled on it before.

00:05:01.060 So the first time I dwell on it, take my e-bike up, and I'm going on this path that's too small

00:05:09.340 for automobiles, and it looks like the path is going to come to an end, and I need to turn

00:05:16.200 around.

00:05:17.160 But the path had narrowed to the point where turning around without getting off your bike

00:05:22.940 was going to be kind of a challenge, and there was gravel on each side of the narrowing

00:05:27.000 narrow path.

00:05:28.360 And I said to myself, I calculated, all right, to do a very low-speed turn, you know, you

00:05:36.580 can't do it if it's too narrow, you'll fall off.

00:05:40.060 And I thought, I better go off my bike and just, you know, walk it around.

00:05:44.360 And then I thought to myself, no, no, damn it.

00:05:47.660 I'm no bicycle pussy.

00:05:50.380 I'm not afraid of my bike.

00:05:52.140 I'm not going to talk myself into being afraid of a bicycle.

00:05:54.840 Well, damn it, I'm going to just make this turn.

00:05:58.940 So as I was flying through the air on my way to the hard pavement below, because as you

00:06:07.580 see, the turn didn't work out.

00:06:10.020 It was one of those situations where I really should have listened to that little voice in

00:06:13.740 my head that said, well, that looks like really dangerous.

00:06:16.620 You're not going to make it.

00:06:19.680 So as I was departing from the bicycle itself, and more airborne than actually bike-borne,

00:06:28.480 time stood still.

00:06:31.580 Have you ever had that experience where you know something bad is going to happen, and

00:06:35.640 it's only going to be a quarter of a second?

00:06:37.800 But that quarter of a second seems to just stop in time in your memory.

00:06:43.980 So as I'm flying through the air, I have to do triage on which part of my body I want

00:06:51.240 to sacrifice.

00:06:52.700 I'm thinking, arm?

00:06:54.480 No.

00:06:55.060 Don't want a broken arm.

00:06:56.920 Leg?

00:06:58.000 Knee?

00:06:58.560 No.

00:06:59.160 No, bad news.

00:06:59.940 Head?

00:07:00.340 Got a helmet.

00:07:01.500 But still, you don't want to land on your head.

00:07:03.540 Hands?

00:07:04.040 Got to protect the hands, right?

00:07:05.640 Because I work with my hands.

00:07:06.740 So I'm running through all my body parts.

00:07:10.520 I'm like, no, no, no, no.

00:07:12.960 And I came up with one body part that I thought I could get by with.

00:07:17.720 And it was this fat part of my back toward the top, you know, just past the shoulder blade

00:07:24.700 where there's like a little bit of muscle here, a little bit of padding.

00:07:28.160 And I managed to spin in the air just fast enough to tuck and roll, hitting that back part

00:07:35.100 of my back first.

00:07:36.000 And I got to say, it was quite a crash.

00:07:42.180 But I managed to pop up uninjured.

00:07:44.940 Now, that's not even the weird part.

00:07:46.640 Here's the part I didn't tell you last night in the man cave.

00:07:49.640 So have you had this situation where there's something that never happens and then it's

00:07:54.920 everywhere?

00:07:56.280 And you don't know, did you cause that?

00:07:58.640 Or was it always just there and you didn't notice it?

00:08:00.980 So today I'm looking through the news to get my little news stories for the show.

00:08:06.480 And there's a story about Simon Cowell, who happens to be just about my age, like pretty

00:08:12.900 close, and how he got seriously injured falling off his e-bike.

00:08:17.540 Now, I've only fallen off my e-bike once.

00:08:23.420 Just once.

00:08:25.220 And then I turn it and there's like a major story about a guy my age falling off an e-bike.

00:08:31.040 What are the odds of that?

00:08:33.060 Did I make that happen?

00:08:34.360 See, this is why I believe I live in the simulation.

00:08:39.280 One explanation is, oh, it's just a coincidence.

00:08:42.580 The other explanation is, well, stories about bike accidents were always out there.

00:08:47.240 You just didn't notice until you were primed for it.

00:08:50.420 Or, number three, I caused it to happen.

00:08:54.220 Not only did I cause the accident, but I caused the news story about the topic.

00:08:59.960 So that's how I experience life, like I just caused it.

00:09:04.560 I don't know if it's true, but I also don't know anything else is true.

00:09:08.620 Well, enough about me.

00:09:10.780 The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the bar exam for lawyers is going to be made easier

00:09:16.740 so that more black people can become lawyers.

00:09:23.180 So, that's actually in the news.

00:09:27.920 That's a real story.

00:09:32.200 Now, of course, in the story, they don't say black people.

00:09:36.400 You know, they have to wink at you.

00:09:38.360 Well, it's to make it fair for everybody.

00:09:42.420 You know, but you know what they're talking about.

00:09:44.940 So, what do you think about that?

00:09:48.100 Well, I'll tell you.

00:09:49.300 If I were currently a black lawyer and I had passed the hard bar exam,

00:09:54.000 I would not feel good about being presumably thrown in with the people who did not pass

00:10:01.980 the hard bar exam.

00:10:03.460 I've got a feeling that people are going to be like,

00:10:05.920 I don't know.

00:10:07.220 Did you pass the real bar exam or the new fake bar exam?

00:10:11.120 The easy one.

00:10:12.540 I'm not sure.

00:10:13.240 So, I feel like we are not considering the side effects of some of our decisions.

00:10:22.540 You know, as I've said before, historically, I've always supported, you know,

00:10:28.800 efforts to increase inclusion and equity, not equity, but equality of opportunity and all that,

00:10:36.620 including even affirmative action, historically.

00:10:44.880 But at some point, am I wrong that at some point it gives you more downside than upside?

00:10:54.440 Am I wrong about that?

00:10:56.120 That at some point, you could argue whether we're there or not,

00:10:59.000 but at some point, you need to stop doing it before you've reached total equality.

00:11:06.620 If you keep pushing it all the way to everybody's equal all the time,

00:11:10.980 there's no way that's good for everybody.

00:11:13.520 It's just going to be such a fight.

00:11:16.980 But, you know, in the early days, when the disparities are gigantic,

00:11:20.500 yeah, maybe you have to do something a little more aggressive.

00:11:23.280 But at the moment, I really need to, I think we need to rethink this stuff.

00:11:28.140 All right, I saw another tweet from somebody who's joining my opinion

00:11:31.700 that our worry about AI is bullshit, at least the current version,

00:11:37.880 and it's not nearly as useful for a lot of things as you think it will be.

00:11:44.700 So here's what AI will be good for.

00:11:48.380 Really, really good at complex searches, so it's a better search engine.

00:11:54.200 Really good at summarizing articles, which I would just call the search engine.

00:11:58.140 So I saw somebody say, oh, it's really good at summarizing the pros and cons

00:12:04.880 of all these articles about some topic, to which I say, you mean a search engine?

00:12:10.480 It's just a really good search engine.

00:12:12.560 Oh, yeah.

00:12:13.740 I mean, it's really, really good, but it's also unreliable, so you've got that.

00:12:18.880 But when it works, it works pretty awesome.

00:12:21.020 And then, you know, it's going to be good for helping people

00:12:23.840 who are already programmers code, and, you know, lawyers will be able to research

00:12:29.160 case law and stuff like that.

00:12:31.180 So there'll be a number of professions in which, if you're already an expert

00:12:36.860 in that profession, your writer or researcher or lawyer or whatever

00:12:40.600 is really going to help.

00:12:42.580 But it doesn't look like it's coming anywhere near taking jobs.

00:12:46.400 It looks like it's just going to make people work differently.

00:12:48.960 And so when I said I'm not worried about AI becoming an existential threat

00:12:56.120 in its current form, the pushback I got was, Scott, oh, wow.

00:13:03.580 If I may give you some condescending opinion about this.

00:13:07.140 Whoa.

00:13:07.880 Wow.

00:13:08.600 Boomer.

00:13:09.280 Boomer, let me explain to you.

00:13:11.660 No, we're not worried about the current version of AI, Boomer.

00:13:16.260 No, Boomer.

00:13:16.920 We're worried about where it's obviously going.

00:13:21.280 You know, yes, maybe version 1.0 is not going to destroy the world.

00:13:25.620 But obviously, as it gets smarter and smarter, the risk increases.

00:13:29.600 And Boomer, Boomer, please.

00:13:32.560 Please, Boomer.

00:13:33.460 Just maybe you shouldn't even talk about things you don't know about.

00:13:36.820 Please.

00:13:37.220 To which I say, your genius idea that a rabbit can evolve into a truck is not persuading me.

00:13:47.420 Oh, yeah.

00:13:49.440 Bad microchips do evolve into better microchips.

00:13:53.120 That's a thing.

00:13:54.520 Bad smartphones do evolve into better smartphones.

00:13:58.460 Totally.

00:13:59.480 Bad cars evolve into better cars.

00:14:03.300 Yep.

00:14:03.940 But not once in the history of the whole fucking universe has a rabbit turned into a truck.

00:14:10.520 And that's what's happening with AI.

00:14:12.420 Because the large language model is never going to be smart.

00:14:17.160 It's just going to be really good at organizing information.

00:14:19.800 And what it takes for AI to become smart has not been invented.

00:14:28.020 Right?

00:14:29.300 It hasn't been invented.

00:14:30.820 Nobody knows how that could happen.

00:14:32.940 Because we don't even have, like, a concept of what it would take to make it smart.

00:14:37.900 All we have is this old model, which just makes your search engine and your organization of data really, really cool.

00:14:46.260 And it can talk to you better.

00:14:47.900 So it's like Siri+.

00:14:49.200 It's like, you know, a better Siri, basically.

00:14:51.780 So I would like to submit that the AI that you're worried about is the one that hasn't been invented and nobody knows how to invent it.

00:15:05.880 Should you be worried about things that haven't been invented and nobody knows even the first part of how to make it?

00:15:13.780 That would be everything.

00:15:14.940 You know, I'm worried about the pen.

00:15:21.560 Because what if it evolves into a laser that shoots out of every hole?

00:15:28.040 Because, you know, right now it's innocent.

00:15:31.820 Right now there's not much danger, you know, unless it punks you.

00:15:34.900 But what if it evolved into a laser-shooting pen?

00:15:40.100 That's what the conversation about AI is like.

00:15:42.440 No, it does not evolve into a laser-shooting pen.

00:15:47.200 There might be lasers that could evolve, but a pen doesn't become a laser.

00:15:54.520 All right, enough of that.

00:15:58.580 All right.

00:16:01.900 As you know, the reason that ESG and DEI and CEI and all those racist things that are being pushed upon organizations

00:16:12.000 the main reason that they have to fold to those things is not because they think it's right, necessarily.

00:16:17.820 Some probably do.

00:16:19.180 But because there are all these ratings agencies that will destroy the reputation of your company

00:16:24.380 if you're not doing all the noble and good things.

00:16:27.280 And I thought to myself, well, why are there not alternative ratings agencies?

00:16:38.080 And why are there not ratings agencies to rate the other rating agencies?

00:16:44.460 Because wouldn't you like to know, oh, this agency says, you know, Tesla is not woke enough.

00:16:50.280 But wouldn't you like to know that there's a rating agency that rates all the rating agencies

00:16:55.720 and says, this rating agency is bullshit?

00:16:59.700 What's wrong with that?

00:17:01.020 Because my understanding is that it doesn't take much to be a rating agency.

00:17:05.340 You just have to say you are one and then see if you can convince people you are one.

00:17:10.680 Right?

00:17:10.920 It's not like it's a government, you know, licensed role.

00:17:15.640 So why not have, like, hundreds of them until they're all useless?

00:17:20.720 You know, the problem with the old search engine before AI is that if I Googled anything,

00:17:26.920 the problem wasn't that I would get no results.

00:17:29.560 The problem was I'd get too many, and they'd all be all over the place.

00:17:33.660 It would be like going to the library and looking through books.

00:17:36.620 It would just take forever.

00:17:38.540 Right?

00:17:39.360 So I feel like one way that this ratings agency thing might go

00:17:44.340 is there might be so many different agencies that they all become useless.

00:17:50.100 If you wanted to know what was the rating,

00:17:52.760 you'd look up the agencies to see what they rated Tesla,

00:17:55.780 and one would be an A, and one would be like a D+.

00:17:59.760 And then what do you do?

00:18:03.100 What do you do?

00:18:03.840 So I feel like one direction that all this rating agency stuff could go

00:18:08.880 is more of it until it dies under its own weight.

00:18:12.340 That could be one direction.

00:18:14.880 Because what I don't think is going to happen is you'll just have a few ratings agencies,

00:18:19.340 and everybody will just agree that they're the ones.

00:18:22.140 Maybe, but I feel like there's no barrier to entry, so there should be lots of them.

00:18:29.100 Then we see that one of the ratings agencies, there's a gay advocacy group.

00:18:36.260 They just stripped Anheuser-Busch of their good rating

00:18:40.600 because they didn't like how Anheuser-Busch basically caved to the pressure about Dill and Mulvaney.

00:18:47.780 So now you can't make the right happy because they didn't like how that was treated.

00:18:53.660 But now the left is unhappy because they changed their minds

00:18:57.260 because of the pressure from the right.

00:18:59.420 Do you think that big companies are learning that social advocacy is a bad idea?

00:19:04.620 How many times does a big company need to just get kneecapped

00:19:10.780 before they say, how about we just stay out of all of this?

00:19:14.520 How about you do you, we'll just make money,

00:19:18.920 and we'll just try to be a company for a change?

00:19:21.080 How about that?

00:19:21.720 So, anyway, have you noticed that when Democrats want to get re-elected,

00:19:34.780 there's something that they often do?

00:19:38.280 Tell me what it is.

00:19:39.800 What do Democrats do, and I'm not talking about hoaxes,

00:19:43.660 when they want to get re-elected?

00:19:45.880 Lie more?

00:19:46.540 Well, okay.

00:19:47.740 It wasn't act Republican.

00:19:49.040 They act Republican.

00:19:53.140 And here's the thing.

00:19:54.960 It's as if Democrats know that their own policies don't work

00:20:03.320 because when they need to get re-elected,

00:20:05.440 they just suddenly drift into Republican policies

00:20:08.380 to try to make you not realize that they never were there.

00:20:12.060 So here's a good example of that.

00:20:13.340 Governor Newsom is trying to change the approval process

00:20:24.080 for getting big projects approved in the state.

00:20:27.980 Now, a big project would be a big energy project or a big dam.

00:20:33.260 So anything with water or energy.

00:20:35.840 You can't get anything approved in California

00:20:38.360 because there's some process.

00:20:40.500 Let's see, the process is, what's it called?

00:20:47.220 There's a name for it.

00:20:48.660 The California Environmental Equality Act.

00:20:52.560 It's a law that is known as CEQA.

00:20:55.480 So apparently the Democrat governor realizes that,

00:20:59.100 I assume this came from Democrats,

00:21:01.960 that Democrats passed a law that made it impossible

00:21:04.340 to manage the state

00:21:05.960 because you couldn't get anything done

00:21:08.020 because you couldn't get it through this approval organization.

00:21:11.940 So Newsom is going to try to become Donald Trump

00:21:15.800 by reducing red tape so he can get things done.

00:21:23.420 Now, how do you justify that?

00:21:27.000 I mean, he literally has to become Trump to save the state.

00:21:32.200 Does anybody not notice that?

00:21:33.980 Are we supposed to not notice that he has to adopt

00:21:37.660 a baseline Republican policy to save the state?

00:21:42.960 Because he knows he's in trouble.

00:21:47.480 That's so embarrassing.

00:21:49.540 Now, that doesn't work the other way, does it?

00:21:52.580 It probably does, but I just don't know examples.

00:21:55.080 I'm probably being biased about this.

00:21:56.840 Does it work the other way that Republicans

00:21:58.580 try to turn into Democrats when they're running for election?

00:22:01.680 Maybe they do.

00:22:04.800 Maybe they do a little bit.

00:22:06.220 Maybe they soften.

00:22:07.600 They probably soften on abortion a little bit in some cases.

00:22:12.440 Yeah, some do.

00:22:14.320 So I guess I'm going to modify my statement

00:22:17.060 and say it works both ways.

00:22:19.420 All right, well, here's a little wild card.

00:22:22.440 Remember, the best way to predict the future,

00:22:26.000 as Elon Musk reminded us even yesterday,

00:22:28.420 is that the most entertaining outcome is the most likely,

00:22:33.400 as determined by an external observer.

00:22:38.440 And I told you, if that rule is true,

00:22:41.540 then one thing we should see before 2024

00:22:44.180 is evidence that the 2020 election was, in fact, rigged.

00:22:50.020 Now, I'm not predicting it based on evidence, right?

00:22:56.600 And I'm not saying it was rigged.

00:22:58.160 I'm not saying it was rigged.

00:23:00.040 And there's no evidence that I'm aware of.

00:23:03.920 But wouldn't it be the most entertaining?

00:23:07.180 What would be more entertaining than that

00:23:09.680 to find out it actually was rigged?

00:23:12.180 Because it would be the cherry on the cake

00:23:15.720 of all the other rigging and impropriety that we've seen.

00:23:20.980 Because every time I make this joke, people get quiet.

00:23:24.520 Do you know the joke I make about the election?

00:23:27.200 Well, we know that the following entities

00:23:29.320 are thoroughly corrupt.

00:23:31.400 The FBI, the CIA, Congress,

00:23:35.200 you go down the list, the FDA, the CDC,

00:23:38.280 all big pharma.

00:23:39.060 We know they're all corrupt.

00:23:42.180 But aren't we lucky that all 50 states

00:23:45.740 with separate voting systems work perfectly?

00:23:50.340 Everything else in the country was rigged.

00:23:53.300 Everything.

00:23:54.300 Everything that could be rigged was rigged.

00:23:56.940 But boy, are we lucky that the elections were not.

00:24:01.220 And when I say that, Democrats just fucking run away.

00:24:07.000 Because it's the one argument

00:24:08.980 that you just can't say anything about that.

00:24:12.180 Because the rejoinder is, but there's no evidence.

00:24:16.060 To which I say, absolutely.

00:24:18.920 You're so right about that.

00:24:20.460 There is no evidence.

00:24:22.500 You are right.

00:24:23.860 No argument there.

00:24:25.760 And again, aren't we lucky

00:24:27.860 that everything in the country is corrupted

00:24:30.700 and we found out for sure

00:24:32.340 but that.

00:24:34.440 So good on you for calling it right

00:24:38.140 and calling it the only thing that's not rigged.

00:24:41.120 It's the only thing.

00:24:44.000 All right.

00:24:44.820 So that's why

00:24:46.160 the most amusing outcome

00:24:48.720 would be to find out that it was.

00:24:51.320 Now, Carrie Lake has apparently arrested her case.

00:24:54.060 We don't know what the conclusion is yet.

00:24:55.680 But the question was

00:24:58.520 whether or not they had done

00:24:59.680 real signature verification

00:25:01.360 or fake signature verification.

00:25:05.180 Which one do you think they proved?

00:25:07.520 That real signature verification was done?

00:25:10.620 Or that fake verification was done?

00:25:13.740 Well, it turns out

00:25:15.500 according to Carrie Lake's side

00:25:18.260 that they did, I don't know,

00:25:21.900 tens of thousands,

00:25:22.980 70,000 signatures

00:25:24.460 that were verified in two seconds.

00:25:27.520 Two seconds.

00:25:28.900 So one of the things that Carrie Lake proved

00:25:30.740 is that the people

00:25:32.360 doing the signature verification

00:25:34.300 were way faster than you think.

00:25:38.540 Because just sort of commonsensically,

00:25:40.180 I think, 70,000.

00:25:43.760 How long would that take?

00:25:45.240 Human beings to look at each one.

00:25:47.880 And then I think to myself,

00:25:49.220 about two seconds.

00:25:51.820 That sounds about right.

00:25:53.040 Yeah, about two seconds.

00:25:55.840 So in order for Carrie Lake to lose,

00:25:59.680 and I don't mean legally,

00:26:01.060 but let's say lose logically,

00:26:03.300 lose the logical argument.

00:26:04.800 The legal argument might have

00:26:06.040 some legal loophole

00:26:09.180 that I don't know about.

00:26:10.180 But in terms of making her case

00:26:12.160 that there was, in fact,

00:26:13.940 not really any signature verification,

00:26:16.820 I feel like she's going to land that.

00:26:20.660 Because the logs themselves

00:26:22.320 apparently are undisputed,

00:26:25.140 and they say they were checked

00:26:27.140 in two seconds.

00:26:29.520 Now, obviously,

00:26:31.040 there's some pushback to that,

00:26:33.320 and I haven't heard it.

00:26:34.340 So don't assume,

00:26:35.300 just because you've heard

00:26:36.080 one side of it,

00:26:37.740 that there's not another side.

00:26:39.060 Because so far,

00:26:40.660 every time we've heard

00:26:41.400 there's an election story,

00:26:43.020 there is another side,

00:26:44.500 and it takes away all the fun.

00:26:47.200 Right?

00:26:47.680 So don't assume that this is

00:26:49.280 a slam dunk.

00:26:52.400 But, boy,

00:26:53.680 the simulation is just

00:26:54.920 screaming for it,

00:26:55.940 isn't it?

00:26:57.100 The simulation

00:26:58.020 seriously wants this to happen.

00:27:00.720 So we'll see.

00:27:03.680 We'll see.

00:27:04.780 If I were to predict

00:27:05.940 it's going to happen,

00:27:06.720 it would be based entirely

00:27:08.280 on the most entertaining outcome.

00:27:10.380 Not on any evidence.

00:27:11.940 Not on any evidence.

00:27:13.660 Because I don't believe

00:27:14.500 anything on the internet.

00:27:16.500 All right,

00:27:16.680 here's another simulation alert.

00:27:18.900 As you know,

00:27:19.960 Senator Tim Scott

00:27:21.200 has announced

00:27:21.940 he's going to run

00:27:22.720 as a Republican.

00:27:23.520 And

00:27:25.580 I'm going to make

00:27:28.120 a prediction

00:27:28.600 based on the same

00:27:30.320 phenomenon.

00:27:32.740 That reality

00:27:33.780 will be the most

00:27:34.520 entertaining reality.

00:27:36.020 For me.

00:27:37.960 So this will be

00:27:38.580 just personal.

00:27:40.120 I believe that

00:27:41.040 Tim Scott

00:27:42.200 will end up being

00:27:43.060 Trump's VP choice.

00:27:45.420 Here's why.

00:27:47.560 Because it will

00:27:48.520 drive me crazy

00:27:49.440 to hear that

00:27:50.420 the ticket is

00:27:51.240 Trump-Scott.

00:27:51.920 And I will be

00:27:54.000 plagued forever

00:27:55.080 until the election

00:27:56.700 because people

00:27:57.860 will think

00:27:58.520 it's very funny

00:27:59.340 to point out

00:28:00.540 that Scott

00:28:01.300 is my name as well.

00:28:03.780 And people will say,

00:28:05.300 well,

00:28:05.480 it's about time

00:28:06.180 you were running

00:28:06.840 on the ticket.

00:28:08.360 And then they will laugh

00:28:09.660 and it will be funny.

00:28:11.840 So,

00:28:12.480 for that reason alone,

00:28:14.260 I'm going to predict

00:28:15.560 that Trump will pick

00:28:16.540 Tim Scott

00:28:17.100 as his running mate.

00:28:19.960 Because it's just

00:28:20.880 the weirdest

00:28:21.460 most simulation-like

00:28:24.140 outcome.

00:28:25.160 It's just the weirdest.

00:28:27.000 Now,

00:28:27.400 on top of that,

00:28:29.020 Tim Scott's kind of perfect.

00:28:31.160 Because you want

00:28:31.960 a vice president

00:28:32.640 who's serious

00:28:33.760 and substantial,

00:28:35.620 doesn't have

00:28:36.580 scandals,

00:28:38.120 you know,

00:28:38.280 there's no negatives

00:28:39.240 that are coming with it,

00:28:40.680 but is not as

00:28:41.720 fascinating

00:28:43.100 as the top

00:28:44.160 of the ticket.

00:28:45.620 Perfect.

00:28:46.040 Tim Scott

00:28:50.180 is a solid

00:28:52.340 person

00:28:53.260 who you wouldn't

00:28:54.060 mind having

00:28:54.580 as your president.

00:28:56.060 You know,

00:28:56.420 I suppose

00:28:57.120 your mileage

00:28:58.920 might differ

00:28:59.460 if you're a Democrat.

00:29:00.660 But you can imagine

00:29:01.700 him being president

00:29:02.520 and you can imagine

00:29:03.340 yourself being

00:29:03.940 comfortable with that.

00:29:05.420 So that's a perfect fit.

00:29:07.120 Not as much wattage

00:29:08.400 as the president.

00:29:09.740 Takes care of

00:29:10.580 some of the

00:29:11.560 biggest weakness

00:29:12.560 that Trump has.

00:29:14.280 what's Trump's

00:29:15.400 biggest weakness?

00:29:17.360 Go.

00:29:18.000 What's his biggest weakness?

00:29:19.960 Yeah,

00:29:20.220 racism.

00:29:21.300 So if he runs

00:29:22.140 with a black

00:29:23.320 vice president,

00:29:24.800 they'll still

00:29:25.300 call him a racist.

00:29:26.540 They'll call him

00:29:27.220 an Uncle Tom.

00:29:28.460 But the

00:29:29.720 attacks won't

00:29:31.360 have the same

00:29:31.920 feeling.

00:29:33.440 It will also

00:29:34.400 set up Tim Scott

00:29:35.420 as an obvious

00:29:36.400 person who runs

00:29:38.400 for president

00:29:39.060 after being

00:29:39.880 a vice president.

00:29:41.640 And if you're

00:29:42.240 black and you

00:29:43.240 just want a

00:29:43.720 black president,

00:29:44.280 which we saw

00:29:45.700 with Obama,

00:29:47.080 what do you get?

00:29:47.720 96% of black

00:29:48.920 vote or something?

00:29:51.180 There might be

00:29:52.000 some people

00:29:52.540 who say,

00:29:52.940 you know what?

00:29:54.020 That's the

00:29:54.940 shortest path

00:29:55.780 to the next

00:29:56.860 black president.

00:29:58.580 So maybe they

00:29:59.280 like that.

00:30:00.780 Maybe.

00:30:02.320 So I think

00:30:02.940 it would be a

00:30:03.760 to me he seems

00:30:07.040 like the most

00:30:07.580 obvious choice.

00:30:10.560 What do you

00:30:11.180 think of that?

00:30:11.700 He got really

00:30:12.160 quiet when I said

00:30:12.940 that.

00:30:13.160 Is there any

00:30:14.420 negative to that?

00:30:16.700 Tim Scott

00:30:17.300 as vice

00:30:17.800 president for

00:30:18.340 Trump?

00:30:18.720 Is there any

00:30:19.260 negative to

00:30:19.880 that?

00:30:21.060 It almost

00:30:21.820 feels too

00:30:22.280 obvious,

00:30:22.720 doesn't it?

00:30:23.680 It feels like

00:30:24.300 it's just

00:30:24.600 really obvious.

00:30:26.440 Yeah.

00:30:28.900 Maybe.

00:30:29.660 I could see

00:30:30.200 Kristi Noem

00:30:30.960 being a choice

00:30:32.080 as well,

00:30:32.660 but Tim Scott

00:30:33.560 seems more

00:30:34.040 obvious.

00:30:34.360 All right.

00:30:35.740 Do you know

00:30:36.300 the Trigger

00:30:36.940 Nometry

00:30:37.380 podcast?

00:30:39.240 It's a pretty

00:30:39.880 big deal.

00:30:41.420 It's made a lot

00:30:42.300 of news with

00:30:42.880 some big

00:30:43.440 interviews.

00:30:44.260 Apparently

00:30:44.720 they're,

00:30:45.620 so they're

00:30:46.760 British based

00:30:47.500 and their

00:30:48.620 bank just

00:30:49.420 shut them

00:30:50.300 down with

00:30:51.620 no explanation.

00:30:53.900 No

00:30:54.500 explanation.

00:30:55.500 They just

00:30:55.860 decided to

00:30:56.480 unbank them.

00:30:57.980 And they

00:30:58.280 just said,

00:30:58.800 yeah,

00:30:59.000 I'm sorry,

00:30:59.960 we can't

00:31:00.400 be your

00:31:01.200 bank anymore.

00:31:01.740 It's called

00:31:04.760 the Tide

00:31:05.840 Business is

00:31:06.560 the name

00:31:06.880 of the

00:31:07.140 bank.

00:31:07.580 Tide Bank

00:31:08.340 or something?

00:31:09.320 Tide Business

00:31:10.060 Bank.

00:31:10.560 I never

00:31:10.940 heard of

00:31:11.160 that bank,

00:31:12.800 but do

00:31:14.880 you think

00:31:15.160 that's good

00:31:15.640 for Tide's

00:31:16.220 business?

00:31:17.480 I hope

00:31:18.240 not.

00:31:19.020 Now,

00:31:19.360 maybe there's

00:31:19.820 some reason

00:31:20.320 we don't

00:31:20.700 know about,

00:31:22.260 but as

00:31:22.900 Eric Weinstein

00:31:24.860 was pointing

00:31:25.400 out,

00:31:26.600 we do

00:31:28.560 have a

00:31:28.900 problem

00:31:29.820 with choke

00:31:30.360 points.

00:31:31.740 Banks are

00:31:32.600 a choke

00:31:32.960 point.

00:31:34.460 So the

00:31:34.760 bad people

00:31:35.700 don't have

00:31:36.140 to go

00:31:36.400 after

00:31:36.680 everybody,

00:31:37.880 they just

00:31:38.240 go after

00:31:38.560 your bank.

00:31:40.180 And you

00:31:40.480 saw what

00:31:40.780 happened to

00:31:41.100 me with

00:31:41.400 the choke

00:31:41.760 point,

00:31:42.120 right?

00:31:42.960 Just go

00:31:43.400 after the

00:31:43.760 publisher?

00:31:45.200 You could

00:31:45.560 take me

00:31:45.880 out of

00:31:46.080 business

00:31:46.340 with just

00:31:46.820 one choke

00:31:47.500 point.

00:31:48.300 That's what

00:31:48.660 happened.

00:31:49.740 So choke

00:31:50.660 points are

00:31:51.100 a big

00:31:51.560 problem in

00:31:52.180 politics right

00:31:52.880 now,

00:31:53.420 if that's

00:31:54.220 what happened,

00:31:54.860 but we'll

00:31:55.120 keep an eye

00:31:55.540 on.

00:31:56.460 Trigonometry,

00:31:57.140 wishing them

00:31:57.560 well.

00:31:59.140 All right,

00:31:59.460 what do you

00:31:59.700 think of the

00:32:00.920 DeSantis

00:32:01.380 versus

00:32:01.900 Trump

00:32:02.540 strategy of

00:32:04.520 saying that

00:32:05.020 the other

00:32:05.420 one was

00:32:05.940 wrong on

00:32:06.780 the pandemic?

00:32:08.880 Do you

00:32:09.560 think that's

00:32:09.980 going to

00:32:10.200 work?

00:32:12.280 So

00:32:12.860 apparently

00:32:13.220 both Trump

00:32:14.340 and DeSantis

00:32:14.940 are going

00:32:17.160 to exaggerate

00:32:18.180 what they

00:32:18.560 did and

00:32:19.340 maybe exaggerate

00:32:20.860 the other

00:32:21.160 direction what

00:32:21.700 the other

00:32:21.960 person did.

00:32:22.720 So they

00:32:23.260 both seem

00:32:23.880 to have a

00:32:24.260 claim that

00:32:25.780 the other

00:32:26.140 one got

00:32:26.540 it wrong.

00:32:26.980 And I

00:32:30.560 try to

00:32:30.920 follow the

00:32:31.400 argument.

00:32:32.620 So I'm

00:32:32.820 like,

00:32:33.040 okay,

00:32:33.340 on this

00:32:33.800 date,

00:32:35.000 DeSantis

00:32:35.440 was a

00:32:36.320 little bit

00:32:36.920 pro-lockdown,

00:32:38.760 but on

00:32:39.040 this date,

00:32:39.520 he was

00:32:39.820 anti-lockdown.

00:32:40.660 But Trump,

00:32:41.960 he was

00:32:42.400 pro-vaccination,

00:32:43.820 but then

00:32:44.160 not mandatory,

00:32:46.100 but then he

00:32:46.580 wasn't against

00:32:47.620 lockdown.

00:32:48.840 And then

00:32:49.180 what about

00:32:49.800 masks?

00:32:50.360 What did

00:32:51.580 they say

00:32:51.880 about masks?

00:32:52.980 You know,

00:32:53.400 so I

00:32:54.700 think it's

00:32:55.020 too complicated.

00:32:56.980 Now,

00:32:57.520 if it's

00:32:57.760 too complicated,

00:32:59.640 voters will

00:33:00.460 just retreat

00:33:01.920 to their

00:33:02.300 bias and

00:33:02.940 back their

00:33:03.480 candidate.

00:33:04.640 So I

00:33:05.020 don't think

00:33:05.460 it has

00:33:06.540 much punch.

00:33:07.720 What do

00:33:08.000 you think?

00:33:09.320 I think

00:33:09.860 that both

00:33:10.340 of them

00:33:10.780 are going

00:33:11.220 to be

00:33:11.440 looking at

00:33:12.580 suboptimal

00:33:14.460 performances

00:33:15.860 because

00:33:17.140 everybody

00:33:17.780 was suboptimal

00:33:18.740 in the

00:33:19.180 pandemic.

00:33:21.340 You could

00:33:22.120 argue that

00:33:22.880 DeSantis

00:33:23.480 was one

00:33:24.020 of the

00:33:24.180 better ones,

00:33:25.660 but

00:33:26.080 apparently

00:33:26.620 even

00:33:28.120 New York

00:33:28.560 State

00:33:28.820 had a

00:33:29.160 lower

00:33:29.340 death

00:33:29.620 rate.

00:33:30.620 Did you

00:33:30.880 know

00:33:31.040 that?

00:33:31.720 That's

00:33:32.200 Trump's

00:33:32.560 claim.

00:33:32.900 I don't

00:33:33.080 know if

00:33:33.300 it's

00:33:33.440 true.

00:33:34.020 So

00:33:34.160 Trump

00:33:34.480 is

00:33:34.660 claiming

00:33:34.960 that

00:33:35.380 even

00:33:36.580 New York

00:33:37.060 State

00:33:37.580 did better

00:33:38.740 on death

00:33:39.200 rates than

00:33:39.740 Florida did.

00:33:40.980 But

00:33:41.400 Florida

00:33:42.540 made a

00:33:42.960 conscious

00:33:43.260 choice

00:33:43.720 to

00:33:44.080 protect

00:33:44.460 the

00:33:44.880 elderly

00:33:45.320 and

00:33:46.000 let

00:33:46.760 everybody

00:33:47.060 else

00:33:47.300 live

00:33:47.500 their

00:33:47.660 life.

00:33:48.960 So

00:33:49.360 was that

00:33:50.180 a mistake?

00:33:51.440 Was it

00:33:51.800 a mistake

00:33:52.200 to let

00:33:52.540 people live

00:33:53.040 free,

00:33:54.320 knowing,

00:33:54.980 of course,

00:33:55.300 that the

00:33:55.680 death

00:33:55.860 rate

00:33:56.040 would be

00:33:56.280 higher?

00:33:59.140 I

00:33:59.620 wouldn't

00:33:59.820 call it

00:34:00.140 a mistake.

00:34:01.240 I'd

00:34:01.620 call it

00:34:01.960 a choice.

00:34:04.320 So

00:34:04.660 I don't

00:34:05.200 know.

00:34:05.400 I think

00:34:06.320 neither of

00:34:06.820 them are

00:34:07.080 going to

00:34:07.260 get

00:34:07.400 traction.

00:34:07.820 I think

00:34:09.880 that we're

00:34:10.220 over the

00:34:10.800 pandemic.

00:34:12.240 We

00:34:12.720 understand

00:34:13.340 that nobody

00:34:13.940 was perfect.

00:34:15.520 And

00:34:15.940 they both,

00:34:16.800 I thought

00:34:17.260 they both

00:34:17.700 did the

00:34:18.560 best they

00:34:18.940 could

00:34:19.180 under

00:34:20.420 great

00:34:20.860 uncertainty.

00:34:21.300 So

00:34:23.560 I told

00:34:24.360 you

00:34:24.500 before

00:34:24.820 at the

00:34:25.700 beginning

00:34:25.920 of the

00:34:26.160 pandemic,

00:34:26.860 I told

00:34:27.480 you that

00:34:27.780 I was

00:34:28.000 going to

00:34:28.160 be an

00:34:28.460 easy

00:34:28.860 grader

00:34:29.460 for all

00:34:30.060 the

00:34:30.260 leaders

00:34:30.600 who got

00:34:30.980 it

00:34:31.100 wrong.

00:34:31.880 Because

00:34:32.140 there'd

00:34:32.280 be a lot

00:34:32.580 of people

00:34:32.880 guessing

00:34:33.300 and they

00:34:34.300 would be

00:34:34.540 getting

00:34:34.760 it wrong.

00:34:35.780 So

00:34:35.980 from the

00:34:36.520 very start

00:34:37.140 I said

00:34:37.720 let's

00:34:38.800 be a

00:34:39.180 little

00:34:39.340 bit

00:34:39.560 generous

00:34:40.080 on

00:34:40.720 this

00:34:40.980 one.

00:34:41.980 On

00:34:42.220 this

00:34:42.460 one

00:34:42.680 people

00:34:42.940 are

00:34:43.160 genuinely

00:34:43.640 guessing.

00:34:44.900 So

00:34:45.240 you don't

00:34:45.980 want to

00:34:46.240 throw your

00:34:46.700 good leaders

00:34:47.460 under the

00:34:48.220 bus

00:34:48.560 because they

00:34:49.540 guessed

00:34:49.760 wrong.

00:34:50.140 Now

00:34:52.340 you could

00:34:52.940 argue

00:34:53.200 there are

00:34:53.480 things that

00:34:53.900 were more

00:34:54.220 objectively

00:34:54.800 true when

00:34:55.540 they got

00:34:56.040 wrong.

00:34:56.740 But

00:34:57.080 nobody was

00:34:58.380 going to

00:34:58.560 get everything

00:34:58.980 right.

00:34:59.500 That wasn't

00:35:00.000 a thing.

00:35:01.060 So I

00:35:01.520 tend to

00:35:02.100 not care

00:35:02.720 so much

00:35:03.120 about what

00:35:03.540 they got

00:35:03.820 wrong.

00:35:04.920 You know

00:35:05.140 they were

00:35:05.400 in the

00:35:05.620 ballpark.

00:35:06.740 I think

00:35:07.080 both

00:35:07.400 Trump

00:35:07.860 and

00:35:08.460 DeSantis

00:35:09.060 were in

00:35:10.260 the

00:35:10.440 ballpark

00:35:11.040 of my

00:35:11.540 preference.

00:35:13.060 Meaning

00:35:13.620 they were

00:35:14.180 struggling

00:35:14.760 to understand

00:35:15.680 as best

00:35:16.680 they could

00:35:17.140 make the

00:35:17.640 best

00:35:17.860 decisions

00:35:18.320 they could.

00:35:19.360 They were

00:35:19.880 well-meaning.

00:35:22.080 I don't know.

00:35:22.940 I have

00:35:23.140 nothing to

00:35:23.580 complain about

00:35:24.140 honestly.

00:35:26.240 Even though

00:35:26.980 it was

00:35:27.200 suboptimal.

00:35:30.460 All right.

00:35:31.400 Larry Elder

00:35:32.040 has a book

00:35:32.700 As Goes

00:35:34.900 California.

00:35:35.860 My Mission

00:35:36.400 to Rescue

00:35:36.900 the Golden

00:35:37.300 State and

00:35:37.880 Save the

00:35:38.260 Nation.

00:35:39.260 Now

00:35:39.540 available.

00:35:41.800 That feels

00:35:42.660 like an

00:35:43.260 important read

00:35:44.040 because I

00:35:45.300 think he's

00:35:45.720 right on

00:35:46.120 this As

00:35:47.380 Goes

00:35:47.700 California

00:35:48.340 because

00:35:49.300 California

00:35:49.800 does

00:35:50.260 it is

00:35:50.860 sort of

00:35:51.120 the

00:35:51.340 canary

00:35:51.800 in the

00:35:52.100 coal mine

00:35:52.560 for the

00:35:52.900 rest of

00:35:53.160 the country.

00:35:54.060 It's like

00:35:54.300 well we're

00:35:54.760 doing this

00:35:55.160 this year

00:35:55.640 just wait

00:35:56.840 two years

00:35:57.460 you're going

00:35:58.300 to be doing

00:35:58.620 it too

00:35:59.000 whatever it

00:35:59.780 is.

00:36:02.020 All right.

00:36:02.940 I saw

00:36:03.720 Lawrence Jones

00:36:05.820 refer to

00:36:06.540 DeSantis

00:36:07.000 as Trump

00:36:07.740 light.

00:36:09.160 What do

00:36:09.740 you think

00:36:09.920 of that

00:36:10.140 framing?

00:36:11.480 DeSantis

00:36:11.920 as Trump

00:36:12.680 light.

00:36:13.100 Now

00:36:14.740 it's similar

00:36:15.300 to Bill

00:36:15.920 Maher

00:36:16.140 saying that

00:36:16.780 DeSantis

00:36:17.380 is the

00:36:17.880 tribute

00:36:18.200 band.

00:36:19.500 But

00:36:19.800 here's

00:36:20.420 what I

00:36:20.620 like about

00:36:21.040 calling

00:36:21.400 DeSantis

00:36:22.380 Trump

00:36:23.920 light

00:36:24.300 because it

00:36:25.080 reminds you

00:36:25.520 of Bud

00:36:25.860 light.

00:36:28.100 And Bud

00:36:28.740 light

00:36:29.060 is now

00:36:30.820 carrying

00:36:31.340 some bad

00:36:32.560 vibes with

00:36:33.200 it.

00:36:34.840 So I'm

00:36:35.100 not sure

00:36:35.460 the first

00:36:36.260 time I

00:36:36.560 said it

00:36:36.900 when the

00:36:37.800 first time

00:36:38.240 I just

00:36:38.540 said that

00:36:39.520 DeSantis

00:36:39.980 is Trump

00:36:40.600 light

00:36:41.040 quoting

00:36:41.780 Lawrence

00:36:42.240 Jones

00:36:42.560 did you

00:36:45.000 immediately

00:36:45.420 think of

00:36:45.860 Bud

00:36:46.020 light

00:36:46.200 or no?

00:36:47.460 Did Bud

00:36:47.960 light come

00:36:48.360 into your

00:36:48.640 mind

00:36:48.880 or no?

00:36:50.980 Because it

00:36:51.300 took,

00:36:51.840 it did.

00:36:52.720 Some of

00:36:53.200 you yes,

00:36:53.620 some of

00:36:53.900 you no.

00:36:55.080 It's kind

00:36:55.620 of an

00:36:55.820 interesting

00:36:56.160 framing,

00:36:56.760 isn't it?

00:36:58.580 Because

00:36:59.060 it's as

00:37:01.300 good as

00:37:02.420 tribute

00:37:02.740 band,

00:37:04.200 although

00:37:04.480 tribute

00:37:04.840 band is

00:37:05.400 really visual

00:37:06.180 and you

00:37:07.600 can almost

00:37:07.980 hear it.

00:37:09.180 And nobody's

00:37:09.780 ever liked

00:37:10.200 the tribute

00:37:10.580 band better,

00:37:11.280 so that's

00:37:11.580 good.

00:37:11.760 But people

00:37:13.100 do like

00:37:13.560 light beer

00:37:13.980 better.

00:37:15.280 There are

00:37:15.500 people who

00:37:15.900 genuinely

00:37:16.220 like light

00:37:16.840 beer.

00:37:18.160 But I

00:37:19.680 do like

00:37:19.960 the fact

00:37:20.300 that it

00:37:20.620 associates

00:37:21.200 it with

00:37:21.580 something

00:37:21.880 that the

00:37:22.560 base is

00:37:23.600 already

00:37:23.880 biased

00:37:24.500 against.

00:37:26.620 So CNN

00:37:27.560 and maybe

00:37:28.280 some others

00:37:29.720 from the

00:37:30.100 left are

00:37:30.500 going after

00:37:31.000 Musk.

00:37:31.960 So there's

00:37:32.360 a big

00:37:32.580 opinion

00:37:32.920 piece.

00:37:33.320 I'm not

00:37:33.580 even going

00:37:33.880 to tell

00:37:34.100 you who

00:37:34.400 wrote it.

00:37:35.340 The opinion

00:37:36.040 pieces on

00:37:37.420 CNN are

00:37:38.800 just such

00:37:39.300 hack jobs.

00:37:40.020 I mean

00:37:41.060 they're

00:37:41.200 just so

00:37:41.700 unprofessional

00:37:42.460 and poorly

00:37:43.600 written.

00:37:44.380 I'm not even

00:37:44.980 going to tell

00:37:45.280 you who it

00:37:45.620 was because

00:37:46.500 it doesn't

00:37:46.840 matter.

00:37:48.080 But it's

00:37:51.620 sort of

00:37:51.920 trying to

00:37:52.500 put together

00:37:52.960 a laundry

00:37:53.500 list of

00:37:54.620 reasons why

00:37:55.360 you shouldn't

00:37:55.900 trust or

00:37:56.460 like Musk.

00:37:59.180 So here's

00:38:00.080 their laundry

00:38:00.600 list of

00:38:02.500 reasons.

00:38:03.220 Now remember

00:38:03.580 the laundry

00:38:04.180 list persuasion

00:38:05.260 means that you

00:38:07.040 don't have

00:38:07.460 anything.

00:38:07.820 The reason

00:38:08.960 you put

00:38:09.320 them in

00:38:09.540 a list

00:38:10.040 is that

00:38:10.940 individually

00:38:11.480 none of

00:38:11.920 them would

00:38:12.220 bother you.

00:38:13.400 But if you

00:38:13.820 see them

00:38:14.080 in a list

00:38:14.640 you're like

00:38:14.940 whoa that's

00:38:15.560 a lot of

00:38:15.980 smoke there.

00:38:17.020 Must be

00:38:17.480 some fire

00:38:17.980 there.

00:38:19.200 So here's

00:38:19.760 their beginning

00:38:20.160 of their

00:38:20.560 little list

00:38:21.500 bullshit

00:38:22.140 propaganda

00:38:22.840 against

00:38:23.460 Musk.

00:38:25.240 That he

00:38:26.100 apparently

00:38:28.060 agreed to

00:38:29.040 Turkey's

00:38:29.980 request to

00:38:30.940 censor a

00:38:31.740 bunch of

00:38:32.120 critics of

00:38:32.680 the government.

00:38:34.760 And I

00:38:35.200 guess the

00:38:35.500 choices were

00:38:36.160 that to

00:38:37.160 not have

00:38:38.140 Twitter in

00:38:38.900 Turkey during

00:38:39.620 the election

00:38:40.120 which would

00:38:41.280 have been

00:38:41.460 bad or

00:38:42.800 to do

00:38:43.420 what a

00:38:43.720 dictator

00:38:44.060 wanted them

00:38:44.560 to do

00:38:44.960 and censor

00:38:46.260 on their

00:38:46.580 behalf which

00:38:48.160 is bad.

00:38:49.640 So Musk

00:38:50.040 had two

00:38:50.500 choices.

00:38:52.080 One was to

00:38:52.820 stay in

00:38:53.200 business in

00:38:53.820 Turkey and

00:38:55.320 live to

00:38:56.160 fight another

00:38:56.700 day because

00:38:57.540 at least that's

00:38:58.620 some free

00:38:59.040 speech.

00:39:00.180 Or to

00:39:01.720 go hard and

00:39:03.520 say no

00:39:03.860 Turkey you

00:39:04.380 don't get

00:39:04.780 Twitter.

00:39:05.680 There will

00:39:05.960 be no

00:39:06.320 Twitter for

00:39:06.760 Turkey.

00:39:07.520 Sorry.

00:39:08.740 You don't

00:39:09.080 get any.

00:39:10.620 Now how

00:39:11.640 do you know

00:39:12.080 what the

00:39:12.400 right decision

00:39:12.980 was?

00:39:15.200 You don't

00:39:15.820 really know

00:39:16.200 the right

00:39:16.540 decision do

00:39:17.120 you?

00:39:17.820 You know

00:39:18.420 what happened

00:39:19.020 but you

00:39:19.780 don't know

00:39:20.140 if he'd

00:39:20.480 made the

00:39:20.840 other

00:39:21.040 decision a

00:39:22.580 better thing

00:39:23.060 would have

00:39:23.340 happened.

00:39:24.360 It's

00:39:24.600 completely

00:39:25.000 unknowable.

00:39:26.680 So the

00:39:26.960 first complaint

00:39:27.680 they have

00:39:28.020 about Musk

00:39:28.700 is that he

00:39:29.780 tried to

00:39:30.380 weigh the

00:39:31.200 benefit of

00:39:31.820 free speech

00:39:32.640 versus all

00:39:34.320 the other

00:39:34.660 variables and

00:39:35.980 realized that

00:39:36.700 there was a

00:39:37.080 no-win

00:39:37.480 situation.

00:39:39.120 There was

00:39:39.400 no good

00:39:39.820 way.

00:39:40.920 So he

00:39:41.860 was either

00:39:42.140 going to

00:39:42.320 be no

00:39:42.760 Twitter in

00:39:43.300 Turkey which

00:39:44.020 is bad or

00:39:45.860 to agree to

00:39:47.440 censor which

00:39:48.920 is bad.

00:39:50.060 He just had

00:39:50.520 two bad

00:39:50.920 choices.

00:39:52.300 So if he

00:39:53.180 picked one of

00:39:53.720 the two bad

00:39:54.320 choices does

00:39:55.380 that mean he

00:39:55.920 sucks?

00:39:56.280 or was it

00:39:59.900 just an

00:40:00.240 impossible

00:40:00.620 situation and

00:40:01.940 he picked

00:40:02.280 one?

00:40:03.080 I don't know.

00:40:03.860 Was it a

00:40:04.240 good choice or

00:40:04.780 a bad choice?

00:40:05.920 I don't know.

00:40:07.060 Does it

00:40:07.600 indicate that

00:40:08.520 Elon Musk

00:40:09.500 loves dictators?

00:40:11.860 No.

00:40:13.040 Does it

00:40:13.600 indicate that

00:40:14.440 Twitter was

00:40:15.700 always going to

00:40:16.160 go along with

00:40:16.880 the dictator?

00:40:18.020 No.

00:40:18.620 Because one of

00:40:19.120 the factors is

00:40:19.900 that it was

00:40:20.260 right before the

00:40:20.880 election.

00:40:22.700 Right?

00:40:23.160 It could have

00:40:23.860 gone a different

00:40:24.380 way had there

00:40:25.400 not been an

00:40:25.860 election that

00:40:26.340 was really

00:40:26.840 critical and

00:40:28.360 on point at

00:40:29.420 that moment.

00:40:30.720 So it's easy

00:40:32.560 to be the

00:40:34.120 critic but if

00:40:35.780 you're going to

00:40:36.040 be the critic

00:40:36.520 you have to

00:40:36.980 say what you

00:40:37.500 would have

00:40:37.800 done that

00:40:38.940 was the

00:40:39.300 right answer.

00:40:40.440 What's the

00:40:40.880 right answer?

00:40:42.140 You're saying

00:40:42.640 he did the

00:40:43.160 wrong thing.

00:40:43.880 Now you tell

00:40:44.420 us what's the

00:40:45.060 right answer.

00:40:46.380 Because it

00:40:46.760 wasn't a right

00:40:47.300 answer.

00:40:48.360 But yet they

00:40:49.500 can throw that

00:40:50.040 on the laundry

00:40:50.600 list and oh

00:40:51.880 yeah well that

00:40:52.460 one doesn't

00:40:52.980 bother me so

00:40:53.640 much.

00:40:54.760 Let's see

00:40:55.120 what else is

00:40:55.580 on the

00:40:55.880 list.

00:40:56.680 Maybe when

00:40:57.140 I see it

00:40:57.560 all I'll

00:40:58.280 really be

00:40:58.680 worried.

00:40:59.200 Alright next

00:40:59.540 thing on the

00:41:00.180 list is that

00:41:02.040 that Musk said

00:41:04.560 that George

00:41:05.100 Soros hates

00:41:05.720 humanity and

00:41:07.660 that gets

00:41:09.300 very close to

00:41:10.200 the line of

00:41:10.820 anti-Semitic.

00:41:14.080 It wasn't

00:41:14.980 anti-Semitic but

00:41:16.960 it reminded them

00:41:18.200 of things that

00:41:19.000 are.

00:41:20.300 Right?

00:41:20.960 So now you've

00:41:21.480 got two terrible

00:41:22.500 things that Musk

00:41:23.260 did.

00:41:23.580 he had a

00:41:25.200 no-win

00:41:25.580 situation in

00:41:27.160 which he

00:41:27.480 didn't win.

00:41:29.220 That's the

00:41:29.880 first strike

00:41:30.360 against him.

00:41:31.300 He didn't

00:41:31.820 win in a

00:41:33.120 no-win

00:41:33.520 situation with

00:41:34.360 Turkey.

00:41:35.620 And then

00:41:35.980 secondly he

00:41:37.160 made a

00:41:37.520 comment about

00:41:38.180 an individual

00:41:38.880 which reminded

00:41:40.440 other people

00:41:41.260 of anti-Semitism.

00:41:42.260 It wasn't

00:41:43.820 anti-Semitism

00:41:44.640 because it was

00:41:45.760 about one

00:41:46.260 person whose

00:41:47.020 actions seemed

00:41:49.000 to suggest

00:41:50.680 that interpretation

00:41:52.060 according to

00:41:52.960 Musk, not

00:41:53.820 according to

00:41:54.300 me.

00:41:55.320 But, all

00:41:56.740 right, so you

00:41:57.060 got two of the

00:41:57.600 sketchiest things

00:41:58.480 in the world

00:41:59.040 but there's two

00:42:00.080 of them now.

00:42:01.280 If they could

00:42:01.980 only come up

00:42:02.520 with a third

00:42:03.220 thing, then

00:42:04.640 they'd have a

00:42:05.120 proper little

00:42:05.700 list then,

00:42:06.300 wouldn't they?

00:42:09.060 Let's see,

00:42:09.600 what else?

00:42:10.120 Oh, so then

00:42:11.440 the third thing

00:42:12.160 is that when

00:42:13.740 he reinstated

00:42:14.620 thousands of

00:42:15.400 Twitter accounts

00:42:16.120 people, they

00:42:17.180 were often

00:42:18.460 racist and

00:42:19.220 anti-Semitic

00:42:20.200 people, as

00:42:23.380 researchers have

00:42:24.220 documented.

00:42:26.640 So, his

00:42:28.620 problem was

00:42:29.440 that he

00:42:30.320 valued free

00:42:31.220 speech over

00:42:33.240 how offended

00:42:34.040 you would be

00:42:34.660 by it, which

00:42:36.880 is how free

00:42:38.100 speech works.

00:42:40.080 And he said

00:42:40.960 explicitly, it's

00:42:42.680 only free speech

00:42:43.720 like in a real

00:42:44.560 way if you

00:42:46.020 allow the

00:42:46.580 speech that

00:42:47.060 you don't

00:42:47.460 like.

00:42:50.100 So, they

00:42:50.800 managed to

00:42:51.360 say that

00:42:52.620 supporting free

00:42:53.520 speech, which

00:42:54.660 necessarily supports

00:42:55.980 speech you

00:42:56.440 don't like, and

00:42:57.540 then he acted

00:42:58.180 upon it by

00:42:58.940 putting it back

00:42:59.520 on Twitter.

00:43:01.600 So, now they

00:43:02.300 got these three

00:43:02.940 terrible things.

00:43:04.840 He didn't win

00:43:05.740 in a no-win

00:43:07.240 situation in

00:43:08.260 Turkey.

00:43:09.320 He said

00:43:10.040 something about

00:43:10.600 one individual

00:43:11.360 which reminded

00:43:12.260 somebody else of

00:43:13.240 something else

00:43:13.800 that was

00:43:14.160 anti-Semitic.

00:43:16.820 And he

00:43:17.960 reinstated people

00:43:19.040 under the

00:43:19.900 First Amendment

00:43:21.120 principle.

00:43:24.440 And that's

00:43:25.320 it.

00:43:27.440 That's their

00:43:28.240 laundry list.

00:43:29.860 And here's

00:43:30.300 the title of

00:43:32.220 the piece.

00:43:33.300 What happened

00:43:33.920 to Elon Musk?

00:43:36.000 What happened

00:43:36.900 to him?

00:43:38.600 The title is

00:43:39.860 what people are

00:43:40.420 going to say.

00:43:41.340 And they're

00:43:41.580 going to say,

00:43:41.900 oh, how did

00:43:42.760 he turn bad?

00:43:43.980 Well, I don't

00:43:44.440 have time to

00:43:45.020 read that

00:43:45.360 article, but

00:43:45.920 it looks like

00:43:46.420 something sketchy

00:43:48.380 is with that

00:43:48.800 guy.

00:43:50.100 Oh, my God.

00:43:51.080 Now, is it

00:43:51.700 obvious to you

00:43:52.660 that they're

00:43:53.980 just trying to

00:43:54.960 take down his

00:43:56.100 power?

00:43:57.120 Because his

00:43:57.780 power is pretty

00:43:59.560 awesome at the

00:44:00.240 moment.

00:44:01.140 Yeah.

00:44:02.400 This is not

00:44:03.180 even close to

00:44:04.020 news.

00:44:05.300 And I realize

00:44:06.220 it was an

00:44:06.640 opinion piece.

00:44:07.760 But even as

00:44:08.740 an opinion piece,

00:44:09.500 it doesn't belong

00:44:10.080 in a news

00:44:10.700 entity.

00:44:12.080 Because it's

00:44:12.640 not news.

00:44:13.220 It's just,

00:44:13.880 and it's not

00:44:14.300 really an opinion.

00:44:16.240 This is just a

00:44:17.140 head job to

00:44:17.860 take somebody's

00:44:18.420 power down.

00:44:19.600 Is that why

00:44:20.120 you need CNN?

00:44:21.380 To do hit

00:44:22.240 pieces on

00:44:22.780 people?

00:44:23.980 How useful

00:44:24.720 is that?

00:44:26.240 Well, let's

00:44:27.460 talk about

00:44:28.060 Ukraine.

00:44:32.140 Do you

00:44:32.660 remember when

00:44:33.220 we first started

00:44:34.140 and one of the

00:44:35.620 things that we

00:44:36.200 definitely weren't

00:44:37.020 going to do?

00:44:37.660 Oh, we're

00:44:38.980 definitely not

00:44:39.920 going to do it.

00:44:40.560 We might give

00:44:41.520 Ukraine some

00:44:42.460 help.

00:44:43.520 Oh, yeah.

00:44:44.320 Give them some

00:44:44.820 old weapons,

00:44:45.640 maybe some

00:44:46.160 ammunition we

00:44:46.900 weren't going to

00:44:47.360 use.

00:44:48.580 Yeah, give them

00:44:49.360 some MREs and

00:44:51.600 maybe some

00:44:52.480 helmets and

00:44:53.040 stuff, whatever.

00:44:54.720 But we're

00:44:55.520 definitely not

00:44:56.420 going to give

00:44:56.800 them any F-16s.

00:44:59.440 I mean, let's

00:45:01.340 not be crazy.

00:45:02.640 We're definitely

00:45:03.320 not going to

00:45:03.740 give them any

00:45:04.160 F-16s, because

00:45:05.540 if we did that,

00:45:06.400 we basically would

00:45:07.240 be in a hot

00:45:07.980 war with

00:45:08.380 Russia.

00:45:09.660 Because, you

00:45:10.320 know, Russia's

00:45:11.140 going to say,

00:45:11.840 we don't care

00:45:12.480 who's flying

00:45:13.020 them.

00:45:14.000 Those are your

00:45:14.700 F-16s.

00:45:15.660 We're in a war

00:45:16.220 with you now.

00:45:18.180 So definitely

00:45:19.160 we're going to

00:45:19.680 do that.

00:45:20.660 No F-16s.

00:45:23.780 So today's

00:45:24.700 news is that

00:45:25.600 Biden has

00:45:28.640 approved F-16s.

00:45:30.680 So the

00:45:30.980 Ukrainians are

00:45:31.680 now learning

00:45:32.860 to fly those

00:45:33.460 F-16s.

00:45:34.260 and I

00:45:39.000 started to

00:45:41.220 think that

00:45:41.660 the Democrats

00:45:42.560 led by

00:45:43.900 Biden are

00:45:45.000 doing the

00:45:45.460 same thing

00:45:45.940 to Putin

00:45:46.420 that they

00:45:47.000 do to

00:45:47.300 the Republicans,

00:45:48.840 which is

00:45:49.840 they're just

00:45:50.200 gaslighting the

00:45:50.980 shit out of

00:45:51.460 them.

00:45:52.680 Aren't they?

00:45:55.020 The same

00:45:56.100 technique that

00:45:56.780 they use

00:45:57.180 domestically,

00:45:58.280 which is just

00:45:59.120 propaganda and

00:46:00.340 bullshit and

00:46:01.060 gaslighting and

00:46:01.900 lying and,

00:46:02.540 oh, we

00:46:03.280 definitely won't

00:46:03.940 do that before

00:46:04.720 they do it,

00:46:05.780 and blaming the

00:46:06.520 other side of

00:46:07.080 the thing they're

00:46:07.560 doing.

00:46:08.240 It's like every

00:46:08.980 trick they do

00:46:09.580 domestically against

00:46:10.580 the Republicans,

00:46:11.420 they're doing

00:46:12.020 against Putin.

00:46:14.960 And it's

00:46:15.560 working, which of

00:46:16.440 course is why

00:46:17.100 they do it.

00:46:17.820 They're totally

00:46:18.420 gaslighting Putin,

00:46:19.940 and they're doing

00:46:20.400 a good job of it.

00:46:21.420 I don't think the

00:46:22.180 Republicans are

00:46:23.500 good at that.

00:46:24.960 I think the

00:46:25.500 Republicans just

00:46:26.260 say, okay, is

00:46:27.620 there a reason for

00:46:28.340 a war?

00:46:30.260 Yes, no.

00:46:30.900 No, no, no

00:46:33.360 reason for a war?

00:46:34.180 All right, how

00:46:34.580 about let's not

00:46:35.640 have one?

00:46:37.180 Is there a reason

00:46:38.020 for a war?

00:46:39.240 Oh, well then

00:46:40.580 let's just like

00:46:41.400 win the war.

00:46:43.340 But the

00:46:43.920 Republicans are

00:46:44.560 all this mind

00:46:45.240 games.

00:46:45.800 It's just like a

00:46:46.400 complete propaganda

00:46:48.140 mind game, you

00:46:50.440 know, the whole

00:46:51.100 thing.

00:46:53.160 So, anyway, I

00:46:54.320 don't believe

00:46:54.680 anything that comes

00:46:55.360 out of Ukraine.

00:46:56.100 It's all lies,

00:46:57.360 damn lies, damn

00:46:58.840 lies.

00:46:59.280 Anything else

00:47:00.260 happening on

00:47:00.800 this quiet

00:47:01.960 Saturday?

00:47:03.060 Did I miss

00:47:03.420 any stories?

00:47:04.680 Oh, yeah, Putin

00:47:05.260 banned Obama from

00:47:06.480 traveling to

00:47:07.080 Russia.

00:47:08.080 Why in the

00:47:08.620 world would

00:47:09.040 Obama travel to

00:47:10.060 Russia?

00:47:11.980 Was that a

00:47:12.940 thing?

00:47:14.300 Are you telling

00:47:14.820 me that Obama

00:47:15.520 was planning a

00:47:16.400 trip to Russia

00:47:18.540 now?

00:47:20.640 Or was that

00:47:21.580 just preemptive?

00:47:24.740 Does anybody

00:47:25.400 know?

00:47:26.120 He wasn't

00:47:27.040 actually going

00:47:27.800 to go to

00:47:28.160 Russia, right?

00:47:29.280 during the

00:47:30.400 current situation?

00:47:32.600 It must have

00:47:33.260 been just some

00:47:33.960 generic thing.

00:47:37.180 He's just

00:47:37.820 calling attention

00:47:38.520 to Obama?

00:47:39.340 Yeah, that's

00:47:39.740 probably smart.

00:47:42.580 We provoke

00:47:43.520 this war.

00:47:44.220 That's true.

00:47:45.080 How many

00:47:45.420 people think the

00:47:46.140 United States is

00:47:47.520 primarily responsible

00:47:48.880 for the war in

00:47:49.720 Ukraine?

00:47:51.860 Primarily

00:47:52.380 responsible.

00:47:53.800 I do.

00:47:55.540 To me, that

00:47:56.100 seems obvious.

00:47:56.860 the public

00:47:59.400 information seems

00:48:00.380 to support that

00:48:01.140 narrative completely.

00:48:02.980 It looks like we

00:48:03.780 did it.

00:48:04.740 And it looks like

00:48:05.420 we didn't get any

00:48:06.100 gain for it.

00:48:07.700 Did we gain

00:48:08.320 anything?

00:48:09.100 Or is there

00:48:09.580 anything we could

00:48:10.200 gain?

00:48:11.240 I see no

00:48:12.140 potential for

00:48:12.840 winning.

00:48:14.880 Do you?

00:48:15.480 I think we

00:48:19.200 screwed the

00:48:20.960 pooch on this

00:48:21.660 since 2014

00:48:23.200 and earlier.

00:48:25.320 I think we've

00:48:26.080 just been getting

00:48:27.240 this wrong the

00:48:28.480 whole way.

00:48:31.360 Yeah.

00:48:32.280 And earlier.

00:48:33.540 I mean, we've

00:48:34.320 been doing nothing

00:48:34.960 but trying to

00:48:35.580 overthrow Putin

00:48:36.460 and threatening

00:48:38.000 his borders.

00:48:38.700 What the hell

00:48:40.160 is he supposed

00:48:40.640 to do?

00:48:44.820 Yeah.

00:48:46.960 I'd love to

00:48:47.820 know the

00:48:48.500 secret backstory

00:48:49.300 with Putin.

00:48:50.840 I feel as if

00:48:52.140 there's something

00:48:53.960 that we don't

00:48:55.220 know about

00:48:55.740 Putin or

00:48:56.460 maybe what we

00:48:57.240 did.

00:48:57.760 Maybe it's

00:48:58.200 something we

00:48:58.580 don't know

00:48:58.860 about the

00:48:59.180 United States.

00:49:00.160 But there's

00:49:00.480 something about

00:49:01.000 the whole

00:49:01.460 Putin story

00:49:03.340 that got us

00:49:04.200 to this place

00:49:04.960 that didn't

00:49:06.960 make sense.

00:49:08.700 And the

00:49:10.180 only way to

00:49:11.040 explain it I

00:49:11.660 can think of

00:49:12.180 is that the

00:49:12.780 military-industrial

00:49:14.780 complex is

00:49:16.580 just doing

00:49:17.060 whatever it

00:49:17.540 takes to

00:49:17.860 have more

00:49:18.180 war.

00:49:19.980 Follow the

00:49:20.660 money is the

00:49:21.160 only thing

00:49:21.480 that's completely

00:49:22.360 working.

00:49:23.620 Everything else

00:49:24.360 looks like it

00:49:25.620 doesn't make

00:49:26.000 sense.

00:49:27.020 But if you

00:49:27.400 follow the

00:49:27.820 money,

00:49:28.160 everything

00:49:28.700 suddenly is

00:49:31.800 perfectly

00:49:32.240 ordered.

00:49:33.540 You can see

00:49:34.060 the whole

00:49:34.380 field.

00:49:35.100 There's no

00:49:35.660 questions left.

00:49:38.700 Yes, he

00:49:40.260 considers Ukraine

00:49:41.080 part of

00:49:41.580 Russia.

00:49:42.760 But there

00:49:43.460 are genuine

00:49:44.220 reasons why

00:49:47.760 he needs

00:49:48.180 Ukraine as

00:49:48.880 a buffer.

00:49:53.420 All right.

00:49:56.800 What if

00:50:00.220 Russia is the

00:50:00.800 most valuable

00:50:01.360 threat?

00:50:03.860 Yeah.

00:50:06.580 They're the

00:50:07.320 most valuable

00:50:08.080 threat.

00:50:08.700 That's an

00:50:09.340 interesting way

00:50:09.880 to put it.

00:50:15.060 What Scott

00:50:15.960 Barnes is

00:50:16.540 saying?

00:50:23.740 John,

00:50:24.440 are you,

00:50:25.160 so somebody,

00:50:26.260 who's Scott

00:50:27.020 Barnes?

00:50:29.440 Are you

00:50:30.360 referring to

00:50:30.900 me incorrectly

00:50:31.680 and also not

00:50:32.600 understanding any

00:50:33.340 of my positions

00:50:34.000 while criticizing

00:50:34.640 me?

00:50:35.240 Or is there a

00:50:36.160 person named

00:50:36.680 Scott Barnes

00:50:37.380 that you're

00:50:37.820 speaking of?

00:50:38.700 Were you

00:50:39.840 drinking this

00:50:40.400 morning?

00:50:45.380 All right.

00:50:46.120 So there's

00:50:46.420 something about

00:50:46.820 Robert Barnes,

00:50:47.540 I guess.

00:50:48.920 All right.

00:50:55.760 Some

00:50:56.220 mentalities

00:50:56.820 passed down

00:50:57.480 from the

00:50:57.860 sources to

00:50:58.680 the suns,

00:50:59.440 maybe.

00:51:02.500 Google it,

00:51:03.260 Scott.

00:51:03.540 Google

00:51:06.320 what?

00:51:09.740 That never

00:51:10.620 helps.

00:51:17.180 All right.

00:51:21.680 So was that

00:51:22.440 a comment about

00:51:23.100 me?

00:51:23.700 Did somebody

00:51:24.280 think I was

00:51:24.900 changing my

00:51:25.820 opinion?

00:51:27.480 I'm just

00:51:27.820 trying to see

00:51:28.280 if somebody

00:51:29.080 was drunkenly

00:51:30.080 criticizing me

00:51:31.320 or not?

00:51:35.460 Yeah,

00:51:35.840 how can

00:51:36.160 you drink

00:51:36.500 all day

00:51:36.820 if you

00:51:37.040 don't start

00:51:37.460 in the

00:51:37.640 morning?

00:51:38.060 That's

00:51:38.220 a good

00:51:38.620 point.

00:51:44.020 All right.

00:51:46.400 Yeah,

00:51:46.780 I don't think

00:51:47.200 I changed

00:51:47.620 my opinion,

00:51:48.260 so you must

00:51:48.620 have been

00:51:48.800 talking about

00:51:49.320 Barnes.

00:51:50.800 I don't

00:51:51.280 know.

00:51:53.340 Barnes is

00:51:53.820 an idiot,

00:51:54.340 so I don't

00:51:54.680 talk about

00:51:55.700 him.

00:51:55.900 All right,

00:52:03.880 here's

00:52:04.200 John.

00:52:05.380 Scott,

00:52:05.800 you're

00:52:05.940 taking

00:52:06.160 exactly

00:52:06.580 the

00:52:06.860 position

00:52:07.200 of the

00:52:07.480 people

00:52:07.740 you

00:52:07.940 criticize

00:52:08.400 for being

00:52:09.180 a RT

00:52:10.540 stooges

00:52:11.180 on Russia.

00:52:12.460 I'm

00:52:12.680 taking

00:52:12.920 exactly

00:52:13.360 the

00:52:13.600 position

00:52:13.920 of the

00:52:14.180 people.

00:52:14.300 No,

00:52:14.540 I'm not.

00:52:15.660 No,

00:52:16.100 you're

00:52:16.540 hallucinating

00:52:17.060 that.

00:52:19.120 Nothing

00:52:19.600 like that's

00:52:20.120 happening.

00:52:22.920 I have

00:52:23.520 no idea

00:52:23.900 what you're

00:52:24.200 talking about.

00:52:24.620 now you're

00:52:26.020 hallucinating.

00:52:27.740 All right,

00:52:28.420 that's all

00:52:28.900 for YouTube.

00:52:30.880 I will

00:52:31.240 talk to

00:52:31.660 you tomorrow

00:52:33.620 in the

00:52:34.360 morning.

00:52:35.780 Don't

00:52:36.260 drink for

00:52:36.680 breakfast.

00:52:37.460 That's my

00:52:38.060 advice to

00:52:38.520 you.

00:52:38.860 Your

00:52:39.040 comments

00:52:39.340 will be

00:52:39.680 much

00:52:39.900 better.
