Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2117 Scott Adams： Watch Me Verify 274,000 Signatures In 2 Seconds, And More Fun Stuff

00:00:00.060 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best time you ever had in your life.

00:00:04.780 Highlight of civilization.

00:00:06.820 Probably the, well, I mean, just the most special moment ever in the history of the universe.

00:00:12.940 And if you'd like to take it up to levels that are even better than that.

00:00:17.520 Even better.

00:00:18.800 No, wait.

00:00:19.860 You may have seen the whiteboard behind me.

00:00:22.260 Yes, it's a whiteboard today.

00:00:24.980 Not a white supremacy board.

00:00:27.000 Just the color white.

00:00:28.840 But if you'd like to take that experience up, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker, chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jog, or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:38.420 Filling with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:42.100 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:47.360 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:50.060 Go.

00:00:55.100 Ah.

00:00:57.040 Yeah.

00:00:57.920 Yeah.

00:00:58.840 So, um, you might know that Carrie Lake was not successful in her legal challenge, and the latest is that the judge ruled that there was no special problem with her claim that 274,000 signatures were checked in two seconds.

00:01:20.160 And then another 70,000, and then another 70,000 in one second.

00:01:23.420 However, I'm going to demonstrate that that's very feasible.

00:01:27.180 I'm going to do that on the whiteboard later.

00:01:30.540 Do you think I can do it?

00:01:32.660 Do you think it's a trick?

00:01:35.160 Or do you think I can do 274?

00:01:38.640 Well, I can't do them all here, but I can prove it can be done.

00:01:43.700 I'll prove it can be done.

00:01:44.840 Does anybody think I can do it?

00:01:49.760 Oh, I'm going to surprise you.

00:01:52.700 Prepare to be red-pilled.

00:01:54.160 Yeah, you're going to get a little more red-pilled than you were before.

00:01:59.840 But we'll get to that.

00:02:03.380 First story is about Bud Light.

00:02:04.960 I guess they're going to, they've offered to buybacks any of their beer that is unsold on the shelves so the retailers don't get bitten too hard.

00:02:12.780 But apparently what they've done is they took their Bud Light can that, at least one special promotional can had the trans activist on it, and they got a lot of pushback.

00:02:28.040 So they've decided to make their can the, quote, Folds of Honor.

00:02:33.180 Oh, no, they've got a program for that, for families of fallen and disabled American military members and responders.

00:02:44.380 So it's a line of camouflage aluminum bottles.

00:02:49.820 Do you call an aluminum thing a bottle?

00:02:52.640 I thought if it's aluminum, you'd call it a can.

00:02:55.680 Do you call it an aluminum bottle?

00:02:58.520 Maybe.

00:03:01.400 So here's my take.

00:03:03.180 So they came up with this wonderful idea, or at least an outside firm did, to promote Dylan Mulvaney, and then there was a bunch of pushback.

00:03:14.380 So then they fired or put some people on leave, and now they've come up with a better marketing idea.

00:03:20.840 So now they're going to wrap their product around disabled and fallen American military service people.

00:03:28.900 I would like to give some marketing advice to the Anheuser-Busch Company.

00:03:37.920 Now, this may be something that they missed in all their marketing studies.

00:03:45.560 Generally speaking, what you like to do is associate your product with something that your customers like.

00:03:52.500 So, for example, in the old days, when the customers were mostly men, they would associate their beer with attractive women.

00:04:02.640 Because, I don't know if I need to connect the dots, but there are a lot of men, there are a lot of them, who like attractive women.

00:04:11.940 And then they say, oh, beer, attractive women, and some of the good feelings that they have about one gets on to the other.

00:04:19.800 It's the same reason that famous sports stars sell products.

00:04:23.940 So, that's typically how marketing works.

00:04:35.660 So, if you do it wrong, and you say, well, most of my customers have some, let's say, suboptimal feelings about the trans community,

00:04:45.960 so I'll associate my product with that.

00:04:49.960 Now, of course, Anheuser-Busch wasn't really trying to do that.

00:04:53.120 It was really one bottle for one activist.

00:04:57.400 But it got blown up into a bigger thing than it really was.

00:05:00.980 And so, they quickly said, oh, oh, oh, I get it now.

00:05:05.700 If you associate your product with something that your customers are uncomfortable with,

00:05:11.940 they will buy fewer units of that product.

00:05:16.260 So, thankfully, they fixed all that.

00:05:19.280 And they've figured out a way to associate their product with something that everybody likes.

00:05:26.600 Because everybody likes wounded, disabled, and dead service people, right? 1.00

00:05:31.640 Wait.

00:05:34.120 Wait.

00:05:35.920 Wait.

00:05:36.800 Did they do it again?

00:05:38.520 They did it again, didn't they?

00:05:41.160 They just found a way to associate their product with the only thing I don't want to think about all day long.

00:05:46.840 I don't want to spend any moments thinking about dead Americans.

00:05:52.000 They've actually associated it with death.

00:05:55.760 And I'm going to be careful how I say this.

00:06:01.160 But it's not exactly victory.

00:06:04.060 I'm going to say it in the most respectful way I can.

00:06:08.740 The people who get killed in battle, they may be fighting for the winning side at the end,

00:06:15.740 but they individually got a bad outcome, right?

00:06:19.180 I'm not going to say winners or losers.

00:06:20.900 That would be inappropriate.

00:06:22.340 But it's a bad outcome.

00:06:24.720 What is sadder or worse than dying or being disabled in a war?

00:06:29.060 I mean, it's right up there with the worst things that could happen.

00:06:34.720 But am I wrong?

00:06:36.700 Now, obviously their strategy was to make it impossible for Fox News to mock them.

00:06:43.460 You see what they did, right?

00:06:45.280 If you watch Fox News, a lot of their commercials are about disabled or mostly disabled veterans.

00:06:53.720 So you know that Fox News is 100%, to their credit,

00:06:58.160 they're very much pro-veterans.

00:07:02.080 So that's one of their strongest points.

00:07:04.620 So Anheuser-Busch, looking for a little comfort,

00:07:08.440 wraps himself around the one topic that Fox News can't mock them for.

00:07:14.620 Supportive of wounded veterans.

00:07:17.280 Except, I got a feeling that associating war deaths with the news

00:07:23.140 makes a little bit more sense,

00:07:25.180 because the news itself is about, you know, tense things,

00:07:29.300 than to associate your feel-good, happy product, let's party,

00:07:34.160 with, you know, death and disability.

00:07:36.880 So, to me it looks like,

00:07:40.820 by the way,

00:07:42.060 I should warn you that I've got a low battery warning on my YouTube device.

00:07:49.140 If the YouTube feed cuts out,

00:07:52.640 and it stays out for more than, say, five seconds,

00:07:55.880 the only other place you're going to be able to watch it

00:07:58.120 is no place, actually.

00:08:02.220 Because I've already closed down locals.

00:08:05.040 That's private.

00:08:06.220 So if it goes off for more than five seconds,

00:08:09.520 there's nothing I can do.

00:08:11.100 It means the power went off.

00:08:12.380 All right.

00:08:14.960 It's plugged in, but...

00:08:17.080 I'm not sure it charges as fast as it uses the charge.

00:08:21.300 It's plugged in.

00:08:22.300 It's plugged in.

00:08:24.720 I like the fact that you thought that that was a good suggestion.

00:08:28.460 Hey, your device is running out of power.

00:08:30.560 What to do?

00:08:31.620 What to do?

00:08:33.500 I wonder if you thought of this.

00:08:35.680 Have you thought of plugging it in?

00:08:37.280 Now, what I love about that suggestion

00:08:41.340 is that you thought there was some reasonable possibility

00:08:45.100 that I had not considered that option.

00:08:48.260 I like that about you.

00:08:49.960 You have a low opinion of me,

00:08:51.780 and I think that's appropriate.

00:08:57.440 I've been spending years

00:08:59.160 trying to cultivate a low opinion of myself,

00:09:02.720 and I think that you've caught on,

00:09:04.480 so good for you.

00:09:05.280 All right.

00:09:07.280 Here's my hypothesis.

00:09:12.340 Well, I wouldn't call it that.

00:09:17.940 For those of you who happen to be white people,

00:09:22.160 are you getting tired of being called white supremacists?

00:09:26.520 Is it starting to feel like

00:09:27.900 it's not just somebody got it wrong,

00:09:31.240 or it's just not normal politics?

00:09:33.580 It's now the N-word, isn't it? 0.96

00:09:35.520 White supremacy is basically the N-word for white people.

00:09:40.440 And I think it's time that we start treating it like that. 0.90

00:09:43.580 Now, I'm against all forms of violence.

00:09:46.400 No violence.

00:09:48.020 So this is just an expression of how I feel,

00:09:50.900 but not a recommendation.

00:09:52.360 I think that if I heard a story about a...

00:09:57.420 Well, let me back up a little bit.

00:10:00.460 Let's say you were on a jury trial,

00:10:03.000 and the problem was that somebody punched another person

00:10:06.860 because the person who got punched was using the N-word in the worst way. 0.97

00:10:12.040 And let's say a black American punched him in the face 1.00

00:10:15.700 and then got arrested. 0.99

00:10:18.220 And I'm on the jury,

00:10:20.740 and the defense is,

00:10:22.720 hey, he kept using the N-word.

00:10:24.860 Those are fighting words, 0.98

00:10:26.160 and I just punched him in the face. 0.73

00:10:28.840 If you were on the jury, 0.79

00:10:31.380 would you have a little bit of sympathy for the puncher?

00:10:35.920 I feel like I would.

00:10:39.060 I feel like I'd have a tough time

00:10:41.720 finding in favor of the one who got punched

00:10:44.860 because that person was causing trouble, right?

00:10:48.560 The person who causes the trouble

00:10:50.360 and then the trouble comes to them,

00:10:53.560 I don't know.

00:10:54.160 I don't feel...

00:10:55.440 No, I get that the law is very clear

00:10:57.240 that the person who does the punching

00:10:58.400 would be guilty of the crime.

00:10:59.840 I get that, right?

00:11:01.100 And my job as a jurist,

00:11:02.700 my job would be to follow the law,

00:11:06.140 not make it up on my own.

00:11:08.220 But I'm just telling you,

00:11:09.780 if I sat in the jury,

00:11:12.660 my sympathy would be with the puncher.

00:11:16.180 Does anybody disagree?

00:11:17.980 That's where my sympathy would be.

00:11:19.560 I would say, yeah,

00:11:20.580 that was somebody who absolutely needed 0.99

00:11:22.360 to get punched in the face. 0.99

00:11:24.240 You have my blessing. 1.00

00:11:27.160 Right?

00:11:28.120 Now, I don't see a lot of agreement here,

00:11:30.100 but I'll just go on with my point.

00:11:32.700 Now, from a legal perspective,

00:11:35.280 we all agree, right?

00:11:37.020 There's no disagreement

00:11:37.800 from a legal perspective.

00:11:39.680 And if you're against violence,

00:11:41.240 there's no disagreement

00:11:42.060 that you should not have any.

00:11:44.740 I'm just saying how I would feel.

00:11:47.460 I would just feel some sympathy

00:11:49.160 for the person who essentially

00:11:51.820 was the victim of the original attack

00:11:53.700 and then just fought back

00:11:55.280 a little bit too hard.

00:11:57.060 So now reverse it.

00:11:59.920 Reverse it. 0.76

00:12:00.580 Somebody calls you a white supremacist, 1.00

00:12:02.700 and you punch him in the face. 1.00

00:12:06.240 Same thing. 0.98

00:12:08.060 My sympathy is with the puncher

00:12:09.720 in both cases.

00:12:12.020 It's not even racial.

00:12:14.160 It's just,

00:12:14.860 if somebody starts a fight with you,

00:12:16.520 with words, 0.98

00:12:17.920 and you punch him in the face, 0.98

00:12:19.980 it's got to be illegal. 0.97

00:12:21.480 You know,

00:12:21.660 I don't want to live in a world

00:12:23.080 where that's legal.

00:12:24.200 But my sympathy is with the puncher.

00:12:27.940 And I think it's time that we

00:12:29.680 are a little bit more honest about it.

00:12:32.840 If the N-word is out of bounds,

00:12:34.640 then I think you should be.

00:12:36.340 I'm completely on board with

00:12:38.060 there are some words

00:12:39.640 that are just fighting words.

00:12:40.820 And I think white supremacist

00:12:43.420 has now achieved that status.

00:12:48.100 It didn't used to be.

00:12:49.200 It used to be,

00:12:50.280 you know,

00:12:50.560 you're talking about some outliers,

00:12:52.580 and, you know,

00:12:53.840 white people would talk about

00:12:54.820 those white supremacists

00:12:56.000 the same way.

00:12:57.360 But once you start saying that,

00:12:59.620 oh,

00:12:59.820 it's systemic racism, 0.75

00:13:00.840 and just being white 0.73

00:13:02.360 makes you a white supremacist

00:13:03.820 or a white supremacist supporter,

00:13:06.220 that's too far. 0.90

00:13:08.200 That's too far.

00:13:09.580 And if somebody punches you

00:13:10.820 in the face

00:13:11.300 for using those terms,

00:13:12.860 I support the puncher.

00:13:14.740 But I don't support violence.

00:13:16.940 I just have some sympathy for them.

00:13:20.480 All right.

00:13:25.880 Here's the funniest story.

00:13:28.480 Japan's,

00:13:29.000 I guess it's the biggest

00:13:29.880 nuclear plant

00:13:30.960 in the world

00:13:31.740 in Japan,

00:13:33.200 and they were getting ready

00:13:33.860 to reopen.

00:13:35.740 But things got delayed

00:13:37.740 because one of the employees

00:13:39.120 had a bunch of documents

00:13:42.520 that are somehow

00:13:43.640 highly secretive

00:13:45.780 and important.

00:13:46.900 And he put them

00:13:47.760 on top of his car

00:13:48.740 before he got in his car

00:13:50.840 to drive away.

00:13:52.940 And all the secret documents

00:13:54.640 blew off the top of his car.

00:13:56.600 And there were a lot of them.

00:13:58.060 And they were being, like,

00:13:59.060 picked up by people.

00:14:00.960 And they're trying desperately

00:14:02.520 to get the documents back.

00:14:04.880 And for some reason,

00:14:06.020 and the story was a little

00:14:06.940 unclear about this,

00:14:08.020 for some reason,

00:14:08.800 that's delaying the opening

00:14:10.140 of the plant.

00:14:12.200 Now,

00:14:12.800 I, of course,

00:14:14.040 go immediately

00:14:14.600 to the Dilbert filter

00:14:16.340 on this.

00:14:17.400 And I'm wondering about

00:14:18.460 how the meetings went.

00:14:19.420 So,

00:14:21.020 Bob,

00:14:22.880 got a little problem.

00:14:25.700 We were really

00:14:26.600 hoping to open

00:14:27.420 the biggest nuclear

00:14:28.760 power plant

00:14:30.140 in the entire world.

00:14:32.260 But you put those

00:14:33.560 documents on your roof.

00:14:36.140 And that was bad.

00:14:38.060 First of all,

00:14:38.620 you shouldn't have had

00:14:39.180 those documents.

00:14:40.640 Second of all,

00:14:41.800 don't put them on the roof

00:14:42.920 and try to drive.

00:14:44.380 Do not do that.

00:14:45.340 I feel like that's

00:14:47.640 going to come up

00:14:48.240 in that employee's

00:14:49.160 performance review.

00:14:50.660 Am I right?

00:14:52.280 Yeah.

00:14:52.980 Now,

00:14:53.480 I would like to give you

00:14:54.300 one of the best pieces

00:14:55.480 of advice

00:14:56.160 that I've ever given

00:14:57.800 in my life.

00:14:59.800 And I'm going to say it

00:15:00.940 three times

00:15:01.840 the same way

00:15:03.360 because once

00:15:04.240 is not enough.

00:15:06.740 The top of your car

00:15:08.460 is not for temporary

00:15:10.520 storage

00:15:11.200 of any item.

00:15:12.580 The top of your car

00:15:15.060 is not for

00:15:16.380 temporary storage

00:15:17.640 of any items.

00:15:19.900 The top of your car

00:15:21.540 is not for

00:15:22.760 temporary storage

00:15:23.940 of any items.

00:15:26.660 There.

00:15:27.640 I hope that helps you.

00:15:30.320 Because

00:15:30.800 you've all had

00:15:32.140 that experience, right?

00:15:33.440 You've got something

00:15:34.260 in your hand

00:15:34.880 or maybe both hands

00:15:36.300 and you've got

00:15:37.920 to open the door.

00:15:39.380 You put your cup of coffee

00:15:40.440 on top of the car.

00:15:41.260 Never.

00:15:45.100 Don't ever.

00:15:46.660 Not in any circumstance

00:15:48.140 ever, ever

00:15:49.300 put anything

00:15:50.700 on top of your car.

00:15:52.620 Because you're

00:15:53.440 going to forget it.

00:15:55.180 Don't put your

00:15:56.080 keys up there,

00:15:57.280 your wallet,

00:15:58.100 your coffee,

00:15:58.980 or your sensitive

00:16:00.700 nuclear energy documents.

00:16:03.280 If I can teach you

00:16:04.480 that one thing.

00:16:06.420 Now,

00:16:07.080 I have a similar

00:16:08.140 rule for

00:16:09.480 phones.

00:16:11.260 And wallets.

00:16:12.940 I'm going to share those.

00:16:14.780 Your wallet,

00:16:15.820 if you're a guy,

00:16:16.600 do you have a wallet?

00:16:19.860 Do young people 1.00

00:16:20.740 have wallets?

00:16:22.160 I don't even know

00:16:22.900 if young people

00:16:23.380 have wallets.

00:16:24.100 Is that a thing anymore?

00:16:25.500 Or is that just like

00:16:26.240 a boomer thing now?

00:16:28.100 Some do,

00:16:28.720 some do.

00:16:29.260 All right.

00:16:30.100 But

00:16:30.400 if you

00:16:31.780 take your wallet

00:16:32.920 out of your pants,

00:16:33.860 you should have a rule

00:16:36.380 that there's one

00:16:38.060 or possibly only

00:16:39.160 two places

00:16:39.980 you could put it down.

00:16:42.180 That's the rule.

00:16:43.340 So my wallet

00:16:44.020 can either be

00:16:44.780 in my pocket

00:16:45.640 and it can only be

00:16:46.820 in one pocket

00:16:47.520 ever.

00:16:48.700 Never in any

00:16:49.520 other pocket

00:16:50.060 and never in,

00:16:51.080 my wallet will never

00:16:52.180 be in a separate

00:16:53.080 place.

00:16:54.300 Such as,

00:16:55.380 you know,

00:16:55.680 in a bag

00:16:56.660 or something.

00:16:57.840 So the wallet

00:16:58.400 can only be

00:16:59.220 in your back

00:16:59.740 right pocket

00:17:00.400 and when I

00:17:01.580 take it out

00:17:02.180 there's one

00:17:03.220 and only one

00:17:03.840 place I can

00:17:04.440 put it

00:17:04.860 which is on

00:17:06.040 my dresser

00:17:07.300 in my closet.

00:17:09.160 It's the only

00:17:09.920 place it can be.

00:17:11.660 Right?

00:17:12.160 Now,

00:17:12.840 sometimes there's

00:17:14.200 some reason

00:17:14.660 to take it out

00:17:15.240 so I have

00:17:15.580 one other

00:17:16.000 place I'll

00:17:16.460 put it

00:17:16.780 but if I'm

00:17:17.860 looking for

00:17:18.380 my wallet

00:17:18.940 it's either

00:17:20.300 in the pants

00:17:20.920 that I took

00:17:21.420 off,

00:17:22.520 it's on

00:17:23.020 my dresser

00:17:24.000 or it's in

00:17:24.800 that one

00:17:25.180 other place

00:17:25.680 I allow

00:17:26.060 myself to

00:17:26.560 put it.

00:17:27.720 That's it.

00:17:29.660 Now here's

00:17:30.360 my rule

00:17:30.700 with my

00:17:31.040 phone.

00:17:32.200 You ready

00:17:32.560 for a

00:17:32.880 phone rule?

00:17:34.580 If you put

00:17:35.400 your phone

00:17:35.900 down on

00:17:36.700 any item

00:17:37.400 you cannot

00:17:39.320 put it down

00:17:39.960 upside down

00:17:40.740 because that

00:17:41.620 could make

00:17:41.960 it invisible

00:17:42.540 depending on

00:17:43.200 the color

00:17:43.540 of your case

00:17:44.220 it'll make

00:17:45.260 your phone

00:17:45.640 invisible

00:17:46.060 compared to

00:17:46.700 being up

00:17:47.120 screen up

00:17:47.760 and you

00:17:49.140 can never

00:17:49.560 put it

00:17:49.980 in an

00:17:50.380 obscure

00:17:50.760 place.

00:17:52.840 In other

00:17:53.080 words,

00:17:53.620 if I'm

00:17:54.120 in my

00:17:54.440 closet

00:17:54.800 sometimes

00:17:55.360 I'll have

00:17:55.720 all these

00:17:56.080 closet

00:17:56.460 shelves

00:17:56.860 and sometimes

00:17:58.280 I'll

00:17:58.500 absentmindedly

00:18:00.020 put my

00:18:00.580 phone on

00:18:02.220 just a

00:18:02.580 closet

00:18:02.860 shelf

00:18:03.280 because I'm

00:18:04.600 not thinking

00:18:05.120 I will

00:18:05.940 never find

00:18:06.500 that phone.

00:18:07.940 I'll never

00:18:08.760 find it.

00:18:09.840 So I can

00:18:10.680 only put

00:18:11.020 my phone

00:18:11.460 on large

00:18:13.460 uncluttered

00:18:14.580 surfaces

00:18:15.060 face up.

00:18:17.580 Do you

00:18:18.160 know how

00:18:18.340 much time

00:18:18.740 that's

00:18:19.100 saved me?

00:18:20.320 Over the

00:18:21.020 course of

00:18:21.380 my life

00:18:21.920 the number

00:18:23.600 of times

00:18:24.040 that that

00:18:24.420 has helped

00:18:24.760 me,

00:18:25.000 it's like

00:18:25.260 okay,

00:18:26.360 it only

00:18:26.700 can be in

00:18:27.280 one place,

00:18:27.860 a large

00:18:28.780 surface

00:18:29.420 with no

00:18:30.040 clutter

00:18:30.340 and I'll

00:18:31.320 look and

00:18:31.680 there'll

00:18:31.800 be,

00:18:32.200 there it

00:18:32.420 is,

00:18:32.980 it's on

00:18:33.320 a large

00:18:33.620 surface

00:18:33.920 with no

00:18:34.340 clutter.

00:18:36.400 Yeah,

00:18:36.800 calling yourself

00:18:37.420 that works

00:18:37.820 sometimes.

00:18:39.140 All right,

00:18:39.640 well that

00:18:40.100 was a

00:18:40.460 diversion

00:18:41.680 you didn't

00:18:42.100 need.

00:18:43.460 There's a

00:18:44.080 new form

00:18:44.540 of AI

00:18:44.980 that's going

00:18:45.800 to work

00:18:46.060 on the

00:18:46.360 dark web.

00:18:47.240 So they

00:18:47.580 trained it

00:18:48.040 on the

00:18:48.340 dark web

00:18:48.920 so it

00:18:49.260 would be

00:18:49.540 more

00:18:50.180 optimized

00:18:50.520 for that.

00:18:51.340 But that's

00:18:51.720 not the

00:18:52.040 story,

00:18:53.280 although that's

00:18:54.220 a big

00:18:54.460 enough story

00:18:55.020 that the

00:18:56.420 dark web

00:18:57.040 will have

00:18:57.500 an AI

00:18:58.160 component to

00:18:59.800 it.

00:19:00.680 But here's

00:19:01.500 the name

00:19:01.880 they gave

00:19:02.340 to the

00:19:02.680 AI that

00:19:03.620 only works

00:19:04.120 on the

00:19:04.420 dark web.

00:19:06.400 Darkbert.

00:19:08.100 B-E-R-T 1.00

00:19:09.220 at the end.

00:19:10.300 Darkbert.

00:19:11.980 Now the

00:19:12.500 question I

00:19:12.980 ask is,

00:19:14.480 were they

00:19:14.940 working on

00:19:15.460 this before

00:19:16.400 I got

00:19:16.860 disgraced?

00:19:19.220 Because it's

00:19:20.200 not an

00:19:20.540 accident that

00:19:21.120 it sounds

00:19:21.440 like Dilber,

00:19:22.100 right?

00:19:23.480 Do you

00:19:23.760 think that's

00:19:24.220 not a

00:19:25.200 coincidence,

00:19:25.980 is it?

00:19:27.660 It looks

00:19:28.380 like they

00:19:28.760 have that

00:19:29.100 in their

00:19:29.300 mind.

00:19:29.580 They just

00:19:29.820 called it

00:19:30.120 Darkbert.

00:19:31.580 Maybe.

00:19:32.220 I don't

00:19:32.360 know.

00:19:33.540 Hard to

00:19:34.000 know.

00:19:35.620 But there

00:19:36.240 it is.

00:19:39.240 DeSantis

00:19:39.720 continues to

00:19:40.720 do things

00:19:41.420 that are

00:19:41.900 making

00:19:43.420 conservatives

00:19:44.720 happy.

00:19:46.320 So he's

00:19:47.640 ending

00:19:47.960 pronouns in

00:19:49.140 Florida

00:19:49.440 schools.

00:19:51.400 So no

00:19:51.940 more

00:19:52.160 pronouns.

00:19:52.640 pronouns.

00:19:53.960 Now I

00:19:54.500 didn't look

00:19:54.820 at the

00:19:55.080 details,

00:19:55.920 but I

00:19:56.260 believe that

00:19:56.880 means you

00:19:57.620 just have

00:19:58.100 to call

00:19:58.400 everybody

00:19:58.860 hey you.

00:19:59.920 Hey.

00:20:01.400 No more

00:20:02.040 pronouns.

00:20:03.300 But probably

00:20:04.080 if I read

00:20:04.700 deeper into

00:20:05.240 the story,

00:20:06.140 it would be

00:20:06.620 that you

00:20:07.080 can still

00:20:07.460 do he,

00:20:08.520 him.

00:20:09.480 They probably

00:20:10.040 just limited

00:20:10.540 it to the

00:20:11.200 two forms,

00:20:13.020 which would

00:20:13.740 be a better

00:20:14.140 idea than

00:20:14.700 just hey

00:20:15.960 you.

00:20:18.400 Okay,

00:20:18.960 you is a

00:20:19.320 pronoun.

00:20:19.480 Well,

00:20:19.940 all right.

00:20:25.840 I don't

00:20:26.380 know.

00:20:26.540 Do you

00:20:26.720 think that's

00:20:27.140 going to

00:20:27.360 hold?

00:20:29.020 Who knows?

00:20:29.920 I think

00:20:30.380 that's just

00:20:30.760 a politically

00:20:31.340 popular thing.

00:20:32.520 But I like

00:20:32.960 the fact

00:20:33.320 that they're

00:20:36.000 not making

00:20:36.480 it automatic.

00:20:37.860 Now I

00:20:38.140 understand there

00:20:38.680 are a few

00:20:39.000 countries that

00:20:39.760 made all

00:20:40.900 the trans

00:20:41.400 stuff illegal.

00:20:42.260 Is it

00:20:42.460 Norway and

00:20:43.460 Sweden?

00:20:45.460 You can't

00:20:46.460 do any

00:20:46.940 trans

00:20:47.760 surgery on

00:20:48.560 minors.

00:20:49.720 No kind

00:20:50.280 of medical

00:20:50.680 procedures until

00:20:52.200 they're adults.

00:20:53.760 So there's

00:20:54.200 definitely a lot

00:20:54.900 of pushback

00:20:55.440 on the he,

00:20:56.260 him,

00:20:56.580 gender,

00:20:56.980 fluidity stuff

00:20:57.780 happening like

00:20:58.720 crazy.

00:21:03.860 And related

00:21:05.080 to that story,

00:21:06.780 and you

00:21:07.380 already knew

00:21:07.760 this,

00:21:08.080 but it's

00:21:08.260 worth mentioning

00:21:08.960 again.

00:21:10.560 You all

00:21:11.400 saw how

00:21:12.060 nice Trump

00:21:13.940 was to Tim

00:21:15.080 Scott entering

00:21:15.880 the race.

00:21:16.340 Did he

00:21:17.940 notice how

00:21:18.420 uncharacteristic

00:21:19.360 it was?

00:21:19.900 He is

00:21:20.340 signaling so

00:21:21.140 hard.

00:21:22.620 I mean,

00:21:23.120 Trump is

00:21:23.580 sending the

00:21:24.400 clearest

00:21:24.780 possible signal

00:21:25.780 that Tim

00:21:27.080 Scott is

00:21:27.620 at least

00:21:28.140 on the

00:21:29.320 short list.

00:21:30.800 It's like

00:21:31.300 he's testing

00:21:31.900 it out.

00:21:32.800 He's at

00:21:33.140 least on

00:21:33.540 the short

00:21:33.880 list.

00:21:35.040 And in

00:21:35.660 my opinion,

00:21:36.320 he would

00:21:36.600 be a

00:21:36.880 brilliant

00:21:37.140 choice.

00:21:38.780 I think

00:21:39.500 he wins

00:21:40.080 on every

00:21:40.680 dimension.

00:21:42.680 Don't you?

00:21:44.420 Because he

00:21:45.180 would be an

00:21:45.800 unusually

00:21:46.520 strong

00:21:47.660 vice

00:21:47.980 president,

00:21:48.860 but not

00:21:49.400 as charismatic

00:21:50.740 as Trump,

00:21:51.560 so that's

00:21:51.860 a good

00:21:52.060 fit.

00:21:53.440 He's a

00:21:54.200 senator,

00:21:55.040 so vice

00:21:55.740 president should

00:21:56.340 bring some

00:21:57.500 government

00:21:57.900 experience.

00:21:59.100 You don't

00:21:59.540 want an

00:21:59.920 unknown for

00:22:00.760 a vice

00:22:01.040 president.

00:22:02.120 So he's

00:22:02.780 a perfect

00:22:03.440 experience.

00:22:05.600 It could

00:22:06.420 be maybe

00:22:07.060 preparing him

00:22:07.880 to run for

00:22:08.460 the presidency

00:22:09.060 someday,

00:22:09.860 if he were

00:22:10.760 vice president.

00:22:12.340 Another

00:22:12.620 positive.

00:22:13.020 But more

00:22:15.360 importantly,

00:22:16.760 Tim Scott

00:22:18.260 is a

00:22:18.920 big

00:22:19.480 self-responsibility

00:22:22.300 guy.

00:22:23.240 So it's

00:22:23.780 exactly the

00:22:24.440 message that

00:22:25.040 counters the

00:22:25.880 white supremacy, 0.70

00:22:27.160 systemic racism 0.86

00:22:28.020 stuff.

00:22:29.420 So he's the

00:22:30.420 perfect message,

00:22:31.460 the perfect

00:22:31.860 messenger.

00:22:33.220 He's prepared

00:22:34.020 his whole life

00:22:34.680 by doing all

00:22:35.380 the right

00:22:35.740 stuff.

00:22:37.080 And I

00:22:38.880 like it when

00:22:39.420 people who do

00:22:40.000 all the right

00:22:40.660 stuff get

00:22:41.880 rewarded.

00:22:43.260 Don't you?

00:22:44.520 If somebody

00:22:45.160 does everything

00:22:45.980 right, and

00:22:47.600 then things

00:22:48.180 work out for

00:22:48.800 them, that's

00:22:49.620 just what you

00:22:50.080 want to see.

00:22:50.940 And Tim Scott

00:22:51.560 is one of

00:22:52.000 those.

00:22:52.760 He's basically

00:22:53.380 one of those

00:22:53.940 people who

00:22:54.460 said, there's

00:22:55.220 no discrimination

00:22:55.880 if you just

00:22:56.540 do everything

00:22:56.960 right.

00:22:58.280 And it's not

00:22:58.780 that hard,

00:22:59.380 because everybody

00:22:59.900 will tell you

00:23:00.400 what's right.

00:23:01.020 It's obvious

00:23:01.440 what's right.

00:23:02.660 You know,

00:23:03.100 stay in a

00:23:03.720 jail.

00:23:05.420 Pretty basic

00:23:06.240 stuff.

00:23:08.640 Yeah.

00:23:09.540 He's a

00:23:10.100 bachelor, which

00:23:11.340 I see a

00:23:11.760 number of

00:23:12.120 you mentioning,

00:23:12.960 which of

00:23:13.620 course will

00:23:14.140 raise questions,

00:23:15.300 but it's not

00:23:16.400 going to be a

00:23:16.800 problem on

00:23:17.580 the left.

00:23:19.100 Right?

00:23:19.840 So the

00:23:20.440 people on

00:23:20.780 the left

00:23:21.140 may or may

00:23:21.860 not say,

00:23:22.440 oh, that's

00:23:22.940 suspicious that

00:23:23.660 he's a

00:23:23.960 bachelor, and

00:23:25.160 you know what

00:23:25.720 kind of

00:23:25.980 questions they'd

00:23:26.580 ask.

00:23:27.040 But on the

00:23:27.500 left, that

00:23:27.860 would just be

00:23:28.240 another

00:23:28.460 positive.

00:23:30.060 So it

00:23:30.800 kind of works

00:23:31.380 in every

00:23:31.840 possible way.

00:23:33.060 People on

00:23:33.480 the right are

00:23:34.160 more like,

00:23:35.800 why do we

00:23:36.580 care?

00:23:38.020 Am I right?

00:23:38.520 I think the

00:23:40.080 conservative view

00:23:40.920 is, so?

00:23:43.380 How does that

00:23:44.480 affect me?

00:23:45.480 It doesn't.

00:23:46.520 Therefore, he's

00:23:47.200 fine.

00:23:48.180 There's nothing

00:23:48.700 else to say.

00:23:49.900 Once you've

00:23:50.580 answered the

00:23:51.080 question, how

00:23:51.660 does it affect

00:23:52.360 me?

00:23:53.500 If the answer

00:23:54.360 is it doesn't,

00:23:55.640 we're done with

00:23:56.240 that.

00:23:56.860 Moving on.

00:23:58.000 We're done

00:23:58.420 with that.

00:23:58.920 Moving on.

00:24:00.700 So he's

00:24:01.560 perfect.

00:24:02.940 Yeah.

00:24:03.300 He's perfect.

00:24:03.920 And Trump

00:24:06.140 obviously sees

00:24:06.980 it because he's

00:24:07.560 going so

00:24:08.840 gently on, I

00:24:10.380 mean, not even

00:24:10.900 gently, he's

00:24:11.440 just complimenting.

00:24:12.640 He said, quote,

00:24:13.640 good luck to

00:24:14.320 Senator Tim

00:24:14.980 Scott in

00:24:15.420 entering the

00:24:15.820 Republican

00:24:16.240 primary.

00:24:18.180 He said, it

00:24:19.080 is rapidly

00:24:19.520 loading up with

00:24:20.360 lots of

00:24:20.820 people, and

00:24:22.100 Tim is a

00:24:22.640 big step up

00:24:23.420 from wrong

00:24:24.000 dissent

00:24:24.460 demonious, who 0.79

00:24:25.880 is totally 0.67

00:24:26.480 unelectable.

00:24:29.420 And then he

00:24:30.080 said he worked

00:24:30.560 together with

00:24:31.100 Tim Scott and

00:24:31.920 got some stuff

00:24:32.560 passed.

00:24:33.020 Now, here's

00:24:37.000 the interesting

00:24:37.480 part.

00:24:38.700 Do you think

00:24:39.120 the Democrats

00:24:39.900 want to run

00:24:40.600 against DeSantis,

00:24:43.700 or do the

00:24:44.200 Democrats want 0.51

00:24:45.000 to run against

00:24:45.720 Trump?

00:24:47.480 They want to

00:24:48.420 run against

00:24:48.800 Trump, right?

00:24:50.020 Don't they?

00:24:51.040 So you should

00:24:51.800 see both the

00:24:53.020 left and all

00:24:54.280 of the Trump

00:24:54.740 people going

00:24:55.840 after DeSantis.

00:24:57.560 DeSantis has a

00:24:58.560 real problem,

00:24:59.680 because all of

00:25:00.420 the left, and

00:25:01.660 at the moment,

00:25:02.460 all of the

00:25:03.000 Trump people

00:25:03.620 are against

00:25:04.100 him.

00:25:04.720 That's a lot

00:25:05.400 of people.

00:25:06.740 All of the

00:25:07.480 Trump people

00:25:08.020 and all of

00:25:08.780 the left?

00:25:10.640 Man, that's

00:25:11.800 a lot.

00:25:12.960 Now, Trump

00:25:13.760 beat those odds

00:25:14.520 once.

00:25:16.060 Let's see if

00:25:16.400 he can do it

00:25:16.800 again.

00:25:19.400 But it is

00:25:20.160 looking pretty

00:25:20.740 tough for

00:25:21.400 DeSantis.

00:25:22.880 DeSantis.

00:25:23.880 So, you

00:25:29.140 may have seen

00:25:29.600 the news

00:25:30.140 that Carrie

00:25:31.160 Lake had a 0.81

00:25:31.740 claim that

00:25:32.920 the signature

00:25:33.800 comparisons were

00:25:34.900 not done at

00:25:36.340 all, or at

00:25:37.760 least not done

00:25:38.400 in any capable

00:25:39.040 way, because

00:25:40.380 the claim was

00:25:41.420 that 274,000

00:25:43.260 signatures were

00:25:44.300 compared in

00:25:44.980 less than two

00:25:45.620 seconds, and

00:25:47.920 70,000 were

00:25:49.100 compared in

00:25:50.120 less than a

00:25:50.900 second.

00:25:52.180 So, therefore,

00:25:53.540 it would be

00:25:54.600 impossible that

00:25:55.560 they really

00:25:56.600 did signature

00:25:58.320 checks.

00:25:59.100 But I am

00:26:01.400 going to

00:26:01.780 demonstrate to

00:26:02.600 you that you

00:26:04.000 can do

00:26:05.840 274,000

00:26:07.800 signature

00:26:08.380 comparisons in

00:26:10.080 two seconds.

00:26:11.120 Are you ready?

00:26:11.540 Do you think I

00:26:14.200 can do it?

00:26:14.620 I'm going to

00:26:16.620 do it right

00:26:17.040 in front of

00:26:17.460 you.

00:26:19.260 I'm going to

00:26:19.740 do it right

00:26:20.000 in front of

00:26:20.460 you.
