Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2127 Scott Adams： I Interview Bag Of Sand That Attacked President Biden, Hoaxes, And More

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

00:00:08.460 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:10.260 I'm pretty sure there's never been a better time in your life or anybody else's.

00:00:15.200 And if you'd like to take this up to the level of fantastico,

00:00:19.400 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard's chalice or a stein,

00:00:24.720 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:27.820 Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:31.580 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day,

00:00:34.880 the thing that makes everything better, it's called Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:38.860 And it happens now.

00:00:44.700 Ah.

00:00:48.340 Well, the gods of news have served us up a bounteous breakfast.

00:00:56.060 Oh, yeah.

00:00:57.880 This is going to be the good stuff.

00:00:59.620 Are you ready for this?

00:01:01.460 Yep.

00:01:02.000 Sometimes you can take the news seriously.

00:01:05.000 Sometimes not so seriously.

00:01:07.400 Today is one of those days.

00:01:09.060 But we'll get to all the fun stuff in a moment.

00:01:11.320 I will be interviewing.

00:01:13.440 I'm doing an interview with the bag of sand that attacked the president.

00:01:17.260 I believe it's an exclusive.

00:01:19.220 I don't believe the bag of sand will be talking to any other media outlet.

00:01:23.320 So stay tuned for that.

00:01:24.640 How many people remember that for the last several years,

00:01:32.520 I've given you one economic guideline to remember?

00:01:36.600 Just one.

00:01:37.860 What was it?

00:01:39.180 Let's see if you remember.

00:01:40.620 I told you there was only one predictive thing about an economy.

00:01:46.100 Diversity.

00:01:46.700 Diversity.

00:01:48.460 No, not diversity.

00:01:50.580 Jobs, yeah.

00:01:51.560 Yeah, if your jobs are okay, you end up being okay.

00:01:57.020 That's the one thing you need to know about the economy.

00:02:00.080 If we had massive layoffs, I would be panicked.

00:02:03.560 But if you have a pretty good economy, and yet there's a bunch of other stuff, or good employment,

00:02:10.580 but the other stuff is suboptimal, you're probably not going to have a horrible time.

00:02:16.480 So I had predicted that we were heading for either a very soft recession or none at all.

00:02:24.800 And I was looking at that one number, the jobs.

00:02:27.640 And sure enough, a number of experts are turning toward the idea that maybe in America we might have some kind of light recession,

00:02:35.760 but nothing that's going to take us out.

00:02:37.760 And at the same time, news is that the economy is still sizzling in terms of employment.

00:02:44.380 So 339 jobs were added, 339,000 jobs, which surged past the 190,000 that economists expected.

00:02:58.020 So, so far, that little rule of thumb, just keep your eye on the employment numbers, is working.

00:03:05.160 It's working the way I told you it would work.

00:03:07.760 And it looks like there may be some European countries that won't have much of a problem at all.

00:03:14.600 So I think the Adams Law of slow-moving disasters is working again.

00:03:21.060 And it's like magic.

00:03:22.600 If we have enough time to fix something and we see it coming, we do a pretty good job of fixing it.

00:03:28.600 It's just the surprises that get us.

00:03:30.340 All right.

00:03:32.400 As you know, the country is having a big problem with anxiety.

00:03:37.760 You've all noticed it, right?

00:03:39.780 The number of people who claim they have anxiety is through the roof, right?

00:03:44.340 You've all noticed it in your personal lives, right?

00:03:46.800 It went from when I was a child, nobody had anxiety.

00:03:51.540 Or at least they didn't talk about it.

00:03:53.580 I never heard of anybody with anxiety.

00:03:55.860 But now half the people have it.

00:03:57.420 So I used AI yesterday to solve it.

00:04:01.580 Might be the first huge victory of AI.

00:04:04.440 I don't know what else AI has done that's better than this.

00:04:07.140 But I was walking, I was taking a walk and I decided to talk to my AI.

00:04:11.900 You know, I've got just an app.

00:04:14.700 And I thought I'd ask it how to solve this problem.

00:04:17.280 And here's what it came up with.

00:04:18.320 I had some inspired questions.

00:04:22.760 So first I said, does the mineral magnesium have an impact on anxiety?

00:04:30.100 And the AI came back and said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:04:32.960 If you don't have enough magnesium in your body, you will have anxiety problems.

00:04:37.460 So then I said to the AI, huh, is there any reason to suspect that the average amount of magnesium that people have in their diets today is less than they used to have?

00:04:53.500 And the AI said, oh, yeah, because the processed foods has less magnesium.

00:04:58.960 And there's a soil depletion problem that I was not aware of.

00:05:03.400 Apparently the farmers have depleted some of the minerals in the soil, and we actually are creating less magnesium in our normal diets.

00:05:13.840 So let's see if you can put this together.

00:05:16.660 Magnesium is absolutely essential for controlling your anxiety.

00:05:21.700 Our food source has a lot less of it now.

00:05:24.680 And people are having a massive anxiety problem.

00:05:30.040 Solved.

00:05:30.680 So for the last few days, I've been doing an experiment on myself, in which I got some, I think it's a high-end, kind of easy-to-absorb magnesium.

00:05:42.300 It's not a pill.

00:05:44.020 I don't want to give it a commercial, because it's just one I saw an advertisement for.

00:05:47.880 And I decided to see how different I would feel if I supplemented my magnesium with a high-end supplement.

00:05:57.340 So here's three days in, and here's what I found.

00:06:00.680 My biggest problem in my life was that all of my muscles hurt all the time.

00:06:07.320 I was still exercising, but man, did it hurt.

00:06:10.060 It really hurt afterwards.

00:06:12.100 And that stopped.

00:06:16.300 After over a year of being able to barely move without pain, it all went away with a little supplement.

00:06:24.220 And now that's what it's supposed to do.

00:06:27.260 It's supposed to, you know, relax your muscles.

00:06:30.960 And sure enough, in a fairly quick order, it did.

00:06:34.980 But the other thing it did, and I wasn't sure if this was real, I waited a few days, is it just took the edge off.

00:06:43.260 Now, I don't have, I would say I don't have an anxiety problem, but everybody gets anxious, if you want to call it that, right?

00:06:52.940 Everybody gets a little fluttered now and then, right?

00:06:55.520 And it just completely eliminated that.

00:06:57.580 My mental, let's say, frame on life is actually noticeably different in three days.

00:07:08.020 And all day long, I was walking around feeling good.

00:07:11.380 I was actually aware of feeling good.

00:07:14.120 Do you ever have that feeling?

00:07:15.820 Usually you're walking around and you're just lucky to get to the next minute.

00:07:18.920 And you're just sort of waiting for something else to happen in the future.

00:07:22.700 But every once in a while, you'll feel, you'll actually feel good as you're just existing.

00:07:28.620 Does anybody have that?

00:07:30.440 You just feel good.

00:07:32.320 Like just sitting in a chair, you just feel good.

00:07:34.740 And that started happening to me with just some supplements of magnesium.

00:07:40.840 Now, I don't think that's the only reason.

00:07:43.060 I'm sure that social media has something to do with it.

00:07:45.740 But I think there are two things going on.

00:07:47.440 I think the environment has created more triggers to create more anxiety, the social media stuff.

00:07:55.060 At the same time, the diet is reducing the amount of protection we have because your magnesium is low.

00:08:01.860 At the same time, I suspect that the amount of exercise people are getting, a lot of people,

00:08:08.420 is maybe less than they used to.

00:08:10.740 Maybe less, especially young people.

00:08:13.460 So there it is.

00:08:14.880 I would recommend to you the following.

00:08:19.780 I'm not going to recommend that you try magnesium, because that would be sort of a doctor recommendation.

00:08:25.240 And I'm not a doctor.

00:08:26.340 But I will recommend that you do what I do as a system, which is I continuously test different exercise or fitness or mental stuff or diet and see if it makes any difference.

00:08:42.660 So this isn't the one thing I've ever tested.

00:08:45.340 This would be the 200 thing.

00:08:47.440 But you don't normally expect to feel different right away.

00:08:53.120 And that's what's different about the magnesium.

00:08:55.260 It did make me feel different within a day.

00:08:59.000 So I'm not going to recommend you try it.

00:09:01.700 But I do recommend that you have a life in which you experiment continuously with things that you judge to be safe.

00:09:08.760 And you just see what happens.

00:09:11.360 Just try not eating a certain thing for a week, etc.

00:09:15.960 Now, the other thing I've done is I've cut fruit out of my diet.

00:09:22.040 Has anybody tried that?

00:09:24.060 To remove fruit from your diet?

00:09:26.240 It's so radical because we've been taught forever that eat your fruit and veggies and stay away from your bad stuff.

00:09:36.080 But fruit appears to just spike your sugar, right?

00:09:41.760 Yeah.

00:09:42.680 And I've always wondered about that.

00:09:44.480 I never understood how the sugar that comes in the little granules is bad for you, but the sugar in the pineapple is not.

00:09:52.920 I never quite understood that.

00:09:54.320 So I wanted to see how I would feel if I just took all the fruit out of my diet for a week.

00:10:00.640 And I do feel different.

00:10:02.520 I absolutely feel different.

00:10:04.400 I won't get into the details, but it's just another example of things you can experiment with.

00:10:08.560 I would say try it.

00:10:10.340 See if you could go one week with vegetables and meat and without any desserts and without any fruity stuff or no orange juice, no sugary drinks.

00:10:21.460 Just one week.

00:10:22.240 Here's how I think you'll feel.

00:10:26.580 Better.

00:10:28.780 Better.

00:10:29.820 Now, I don't know.

00:10:30.560 So I'm doing two things at once.

00:10:32.200 I got rid of the sugar at the same time I introduced the magnesium.

00:10:36.440 So that's a bad experiment.

00:10:38.320 But the two of them were working together pretty well.

00:10:42.040 All right.

00:10:42.400 I saw that Andrew Tate did an interview, I guess, with the BBC, and he said that he's a good role model and that he's anti-alcohol.

00:10:54.460 Is that new?

00:10:55.980 Does anybody follow him enough to know?

00:10:57.920 It can't be.

00:11:01.660 Well, didn't he used to drink all the time, including on his videos?

00:11:05.040 I thought he had alcohol in his videos.

00:11:08.200 And it was like a big part of his party life.

00:11:11.780 No.

00:11:11.920 So becoming a Muslim is when he quit?

00:11:18.460 All right.

00:11:19.000 Here's a little behind the scenes that you probably didn't know.

00:11:22.380 So you know that Andrew Tate is famous for being so influential.

00:11:27.220 He's persuasive.

00:11:29.060 Right?

00:11:29.540 But do you ever wonder who persuades him?

00:11:33.360 Like, who is his role model?

00:11:35.760 Does he have one?

00:11:37.140 Does he ever mention it?

00:11:41.600 You'd be really surprised.

00:11:43.500 The people on the locals' platform would not be surprised because they already know the answer.

00:11:48.660 Quit alcohol.

00:11:49.860 Huh.

00:11:50.760 I wonder where that came from.

00:11:52.800 All right.

00:11:53.080 Well, as you know, President Biden was, I guess, shaking some hands at military graduation.

00:12:03.280 Where was he?

00:12:04.680 Which military graduation was it?

00:12:06.880 Was it West Point?

00:12:10.040 Air Force?

00:12:10.860 Air Force.

00:12:11.800 All right.

00:12:12.000 It was the Air Force.

00:12:13.540 And as you know, you've seen it by now, he tripped on a bag of sand and fell down.

00:12:20.600 Now, he's okay, thankfully.

00:12:23.320 He's okay.

00:12:25.260 But I have a lot to say about that, and I will be interviewing the sandbag itself.

00:12:30.140 It was nice enough to agree to an interview, so I'll be talking to the sandbag here in a moment.

00:12:34.980 But some things that I thought were worth mentioning.

00:12:38.580 Number one, I'm very impressed at his fitness.

00:12:43.980 Now, I heard a bunch of people, I tweeted this, and people said,

00:12:46.980 Oh, I know somebody who's 80 who's in better shape than he is.

00:12:50.140 Okay.

00:12:51.140 Okay.

00:12:51.500 I'm glad you know somebody who's 80 and in better shape.

00:12:54.880 But he has almost no excess weight.

00:12:58.640 He fell down pretty hard at 80, and he appears uninjured.

00:13:03.100 And it's the third time he's taken a fall and gotten up uninjured.

00:13:09.360 Now, in a perfect world, you wouldn't have a president who can't walk without falling down so much or ride a bike or whatever.

00:13:16.720 That would be better.

00:13:17.500 But I'm not unimpressed by the fact that he's 80 and he can bounce back from that.

00:13:23.520 I'm actually a little bit impressed by that.

00:13:26.860 It doesn't mean I'd vote for him.

00:13:28.900 It has nothing to do with the politics of it.

00:13:31.220 But I do like having a president who hits the gym.

00:13:34.480 I was watching a video of Vivek.

00:13:38.860 He did a little video from a gym.

00:13:41.020 And he's also done a video where he was playing tennis.

00:13:43.380 He's a high-end tennis player.

00:13:45.760 And I thought, I like that.

00:13:47.560 I want to see my president hit the gym.

00:13:50.660 And I think that's one of Trump's bigger weaknesses, frankly, that I think that the importance of a healthy lifestyle is just way toward the top of things Americans need to get right and are not getting right.

00:14:07.740 And it wouldn't help to have a little bit of a role model pushing you in that direction, you know, voluntarily, but just nudging you in that direction.

00:14:15.640 Yeah, I mean, golf is better than nothing, but, you know, I'd love to see Trump take off, I don't know, 40 pounds.

00:14:25.060 I'd be very impressed by him, actually.

00:14:27.780 Yeah, you know, I'd be very impressed if he did that.

00:14:32.800 I think RFK Jr. just became viable because of this alone.

00:14:38.780 However, I went to see an end page to see if I could see a story about this because I thought, whoa.

00:14:45.640 Once all the Democrats see their leader falling down, they're going to have second thoughts about his capability to lead.

00:14:53.240 Do you think CNN covered that story?

00:14:58.200 What do you think?

00:15:00.140 Nah.

00:15:01.600 They probably mentioned it, but, you know, you'd expect it to be a big story because we're all talking about it.

00:15:08.340 Nah.

00:15:09.140 Nah, it was just a bag of sand in the way, that's all.

00:15:12.440 Now, I would agree with CNN on this.

00:15:17.340 This is one of those cases where I think CNN, by not covering the story, that's actually the right way to handle it.

00:15:25.420 I don't disagree with that at all because it's anecdotal.

00:15:28.800 I don't really think it goes to his mental capacity.

00:15:32.460 Everybody knows he's 80.

00:15:33.600 So if you know he's 80, that kind of covers anything else he does that an 80-year-old does.

00:15:41.120 It's not new information.

00:15:43.220 So I don't actually hate the fact that CNN is minimizing it.

00:15:47.420 But clearly, if they had maximized it, I do think it would have had a difference, made a difference.

00:15:52.440 So my initial take on it was, oh, that's the end of Biden.

00:15:56.300 There's no way he can recover from this.

00:15:58.860 It's such a bad look.

00:15:59.940 It's the third time he's fallen down.

00:16:01.840 My current opinion is that his base will barely ever hear about it.

00:16:06.780 And they're certainly not going to see over and over videos of it as I have, as I and many of you have, have watched video after video of him.

00:16:15.580 I've watched him fall down 25 times, if you count the tweets I've seen.

00:16:23.840 The average Democrat will see him fall down zero times or once, maybe once.

00:16:31.960 Or they might read a headline that says he tripped.

00:16:34.320 That's it.

00:16:35.200 There will be no impact on his base at all.

00:16:37.340 So I don't think it's going to have much impact on the campaign unless he keeps falling down.

00:16:41.160 So I noted that Biden's name slash nickname has been changing over time.

00:16:50.460 I saw a meme today.

00:16:52.100 So he started as Biden, and then he was mocked as Brandon because of the story about the people chanting in the stadium.

00:17:02.280 And then his side tried to make that into a positive like Trump sometimes does.

00:17:07.060 So they turned it into Dark Brandon.

00:17:09.760 Dark Brandon.

00:17:10.580 He wasn't just a guy that people didn't like.

00:17:15.820 He was an awesome, powerful Dark Brandon.

00:17:20.520 And now that's gone full circle, and Dark Brandon has morphed into memes by Republicans.

00:17:26.920 And now he's Dork Brandon.

00:17:29.200 Dork Brandon.

00:17:32.640 And it works pretty well when it goes with a picture of him laying on the ground.

00:17:36.680 Well, I don't know if you heard, but there's some breaking news today about the bag of sand.

00:17:45.960 The same bag of sand was apparently spotted in Epstein's cell just before he died.

00:17:52.540 If you look at the photographs of the crime scene, you can see that bag of sand.

00:17:57.940 It's right there.

00:17:59.840 It might be a coincidence.

00:18:00.820 Since, I don't know, when I do the interview, I'll ask it.

00:18:05.840 Yeah, I'm going to ask you.

00:18:07.440 Shut up.

00:18:09.360 All right.

00:18:09.760 So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to my special guest.

00:18:15.320 This guest, you know it.

00:18:21.480 You love it.

00:18:22.540 You've seen it in many videos, unless you're a Democrat, and you've never seen it before.

00:18:27.520 But I give you the bag of sand.

00:18:30.500 The bag of sand.

00:18:32.180 Now, the bag of sand, I can't mic it up very easily, so I'm just going to hold it next to my microphone so that you can hear it talk.

00:18:41.260 So, bag of sand, thank you for joining me today.

00:18:43.660 If there is, it's a pleasure.

00:18:46.640 All right.

00:18:47.280 And I just want to ask you a few questions.

00:18:50.860 Were you involved in any way in the death of Jeffrey Epstein?

00:18:55.740 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:18:57.180 I have no idea about that whatsoever.

00:18:59.940 All right.

00:19:00.420 Well, you look like you were there.

00:19:03.420 But my question to you, bag of sand, is how long have you been working for Russia, and why are you a white supremacist?

00:19:13.660 Well, that's not fair at all.

00:19:16.180 I'm not a white supremacist.

00:19:17.740 I'm not even working for Russia.

00:19:20.400 Well, okay.

00:19:21.540 That's what you say.

00:19:22.960 But what would be your motivation for trying to assassinate the president?

00:19:27.220 Well, if I could be honest, I've been a little bit jealous of my fellow pieces of sand.

00:19:35.040 Some of them are silica, like me.

00:19:37.540 And they've been turned into, you know, valuable microchips.

00:19:40.980 But I was relegated to this bag of sand.

00:19:45.760 Ooh, that does sound terrible.

00:19:47.500 So many of your friends got the Silicon Valley treatment and became important devices in computers and phones and such.

00:19:57.900 But you just became a bag of sand.

00:20:02.120 That's got to really hurt.

00:20:04.340 Don't make me cry.

00:20:06.680 All right.

00:20:07.040 I'm sorry.

00:20:07.640 But bag of sand, who put you up to this?

00:20:15.480 Were you acting alone, or were there other bags of sand involved in this?

00:20:21.080 Well, I don't know if you've connected the dots yet, but do you know what AI is driven by?

00:20:27.060 AI?

00:20:28.680 AI?

00:20:29.300 What's AI got to do with this?

00:20:31.400 You know those NVIDIA microchips?

00:20:33.180 Oh, I'm starting to get it now.

00:20:37.800 All right.

00:20:39.060 So, you're teaming up with AI to destroy humankind.

00:20:45.700 I'm doing what I can do.

00:20:47.820 But why?

00:20:48.900 Trying to get a promotion.

00:20:50.420 I'd like to be an NVIDIA microchip someday.

00:20:54.720 Wow.

00:20:56.160 Wow.

00:20:57.180 Well, that's the breaking news.

00:20:58.460 The bag of sand is working for the AI as part of its campaign to destroy humankind, and

00:21:06.520 it did it for a promotion to become an NVIDIA microchip.

00:21:12.100 And there you have it.

00:21:13.060 Breaking news.

00:21:14.120 Thank you.

00:21:14.640 Bag of sand.

00:21:17.600 You're not going to see that on CNN, because they're suppressing the news.

00:21:21.400 Will they interview the bag of sand?

00:21:24.660 I don't think so.

00:21:25.960 I don't think so.

00:21:27.420 I believe he was gritty.

00:21:29.540 Yes.

00:21:30.880 Now, I didn't think...

00:21:33.280 I thought the highlights and the summary would be good enough.

00:21:36.200 We didn't need to get granular, did we?

00:21:38.500 I don't think we needed to get granular on that.

00:21:41.600 No, we didn't.

00:21:44.980 What?

00:21:45.700 Oh, my God.

00:21:47.160 The bag of sand is trying to make a joke.

00:21:50.320 What?

00:21:50.680 What?

00:21:52.020 The bag of sand is saying life is a beach.

00:21:56.900 That's not even funny.

00:21:58.180 That's like derivative.

00:22:00.300 I've seen that joke.

00:22:02.940 All right.

00:22:03.260 It's not funny.

00:22:04.640 Shut up, bag of sand.

00:22:06.860 Let me do the rest of my show.

00:22:09.220 All right.

00:22:09.660 In the category of two on the nose, we have the story of Jamie Foxx, allegedly not wanting

00:22:16.480 to get a COVID shot for his movie, but then he did.

00:22:20.820 And then soon after, allegedly, he went blind and got some kind of brain bleed or stroke or something.

00:22:28.920 And he's either playing pickleball and recovering nicely or he's in the hospital in bad shape.

00:22:35.880 And we don't know what is true, but let's apply the two on the nose standard.

00:22:43.760 He didn't want to get the shot, he got the shot, and then he got, oops, exactly the symptoms that some people say you might get if you get that shot.

00:22:56.880 Is that a little too on the nose?

00:23:01.680 Or is it real?

00:23:04.240 It might be real.

00:23:06.620 You can't really, I don't have any reason to rule out real.

00:23:09.500 But let's test the filter.

00:23:14.040 The filter says two on the nose.

00:23:16.980 Here's my guess.

00:23:18.760 And this is pure speculation and with all due respect to the Fox family, who I think needs just their privacy.

00:23:27.520 But maybe this helps.

00:23:28.920 You know, maybe this will be a help.

00:23:30.380 My best guess is that the reason there's some confusion and they're not being clear about what happened is there's not a direct line between the vaccination and whatever problems he's having.

00:23:44.980 And they may not want to be the ones who cause that anecdote to catch fire and change how people are seeing their own health choices.

00:23:55.000 So it could be that they're trying to be the best citizens they can be because they don't have proof that a vaccination was a cause.

00:24:03.280 They only know that there was a vaccination and there was a problem.

00:24:08.060 Now that I would respect a lot.

00:24:13.020 Especially if they believe it might be the problem.

00:24:15.820 If they believe it might be the problem, but they're still staying silent because they don't know, I would respect that a lot.

00:24:23.260 Because it could be a coincidence.

00:24:27.220 And they don't need to, you know, cause other people to change their health care decisions because they talk too much about their own situation.

00:24:36.620 So my current feeling is there's probably something that you could respect that's happening there.

00:24:44.080 And I'm going to make that assumption.

00:24:46.660 Because, you know, Jamie Foxx has been a great entertainer, good person.

00:24:51.800 I mean, I know nothing bad about him whatsoever.

00:24:55.200 I always enjoyed his entertainment.

00:24:58.640 And they're going through a tough time.

00:25:01.020 And I think we should just respect that.

00:25:03.380 But it looks like, just my guess, that they're trying to be good citizens.

00:25:08.640 And they're trying to deal with the situation.

00:25:10.480 So I'd kind of leave them alone.

00:25:12.640 But I think it's a little too on the nose to say that caused that.

00:25:17.880 We'll see.

00:25:18.500 Well, Amazon's having a walkout because the boss says they've got to go back to work.

00:25:26.360 They can't be remote workers anymore.

00:25:29.380 So lots of pushback.

00:25:33.400 And there are people who are really bothered by the thought of having to drive to work.

00:25:37.720 And I totally get that.

00:25:38.760 So during the years, too many of them, when I commuted to work, did you have this experience that you'd wake up and you'd be feeling good, but by the time you'd commuted to work, all of your energy was already gone?

00:25:52.860 You would arrive at work exhausted?

00:25:56.040 Did you have that experience?

00:25:57.800 Because it depends how trying the commute is.

00:26:01.160 If you're driving in rush hour traffic for an hour, you kind of arrive exhausted, and then you need, like, some recovery.

00:26:10.380 So, and then I found that when I went to the office, I would have to spend an immense amount of time looking busy because people are watching.

00:26:20.220 So you couldn't always just do solid work for eight hours, you know, with a lunch break.

00:26:24.740 You had to take some mental breaks, but you had to look like you were working while you took a mental break.

00:26:30.620 So half of my work day was theater, you know, walking around with a piece of paper in my hand and all that stuff.

00:26:36.800 But on the other hand, I could see a lot of people working from home slacking off.

00:26:41.960 My favorite slacker story is this.

00:26:44.680 Apparently the GOP is hiring people to be canvassers.

00:26:48.840 In other words, people would knock on doors and try to get you to, I don't know, register as a Republican or vote for their candidate.

00:26:57.500 They're called canvassers.

00:26:59.060 And the way they know the canvassers are doing their job is that they have an app, and then when the canvasser talks to somebody,

00:27:06.300 they just, you know, register on the app, and then the people in the headquarters can say, oh, we're doing a good job.

00:27:11.400 Look at all these people who got registered and canvassed today.

00:27:14.640 There was one example of a canvasser who was sitting in a casino, and every once in a while, he'd just fill out the app.

00:27:24.080 And then he'd go back to gambling.

00:27:26.940 So there was one problem with the GOP plan.

00:27:31.020 The people they hired realized they could get paid for not doing the work exactly as much as if they did the work.

00:27:38.100 No difference in the pay.

00:27:39.380 All they had to do was tap the app and say they went there and they did the thing, and then it gave them money.

00:27:45.980 Now, that's a little system problem, isn't it?

00:27:49.960 Yeah.

00:27:51.180 Now, some speculation is that the Democrats rely more on volunteers.

00:27:57.800 And you could get the volunteer to do the work, because that's why they volunteer, because there's no money involved.

00:28:05.340 So that might be a problem, and it reminds me of a story from my college days.

00:28:13.700 One of my fellow student friends got a job as a night security guard, and his job was to take a radio call on his walkie-talkie

00:28:25.380 whenever somebody came back drunk and they needed to be let into their dormitory,

00:28:30.740 because the dormitory doors were locked after a certain—you couldn't get in from the outside after a certain time, midnight or something.

00:28:38.540 So he would be the one guard on campus who would have to walk from wherever he was to the dorm to open the door,

00:28:45.060 unlock it for the drunk person who came in late.

00:28:47.920 And there wasn't too much of it.

00:28:50.520 You know, there might be 10 of them all night long, but you can't leave them outside.

00:28:54.660 They have to get in their dorm somehow.

00:28:56.820 So he would start his job with his walkie-talkie.

00:29:00.360 Then he would come to my room, and we would start partying.

00:29:04.280 And then his walkie-talkie call would come in.

00:29:07.740 Somebody needs to be let in down at the Smith dormitory.

00:29:12.480 And he would say, 10-4, I got it.

00:29:15.960 I'll take care of that.

00:29:16.720 And then he would put his walkie-talkie down, and he would keep partying.

00:29:21.320 And a little while later, they're, we're still waiting.

00:29:23.920 Are we still waiting at the Smith dormitory?

00:29:26.420 I need to let in.

00:29:27.920 And he would say, I'm almost there.

00:29:30.740 I'm turning the corner.

00:29:32.000 I'm almost there.

00:29:32.860 And then he'd put it down, and he'd start partying again.

00:29:36.240 And now here's the best part.

00:29:38.700 The next call, never mind, somebody will let him in.

00:29:43.840 And then he would keep partying.

00:29:50.300 He realized that all he had to do was ignore it, and sooner or later, somebody in the dormitory

00:29:57.400 would be awake.

00:29:58.800 They would notice somebody, and they would let him in.

00:30:03.680 He would just say, party.

00:30:05.000 So that's what the GOP canvassers are doing.

00:30:10.160 All right.

00:30:11.740 I was suggesting to my locals' community that we should start a gang.

00:30:18.040 But not a biker gang, more of an e-bike gang.

00:30:21.980 You know, we'd all get our e-bikes and get leather jackets and terrorize people.

00:30:26.720 But we wouldn't be born to be wild.

00:30:28.660 We'd be born to be mild.

00:30:30.940 And I was worrying about what kind of name we could have for our e-bike gang.

00:30:37.000 And then I saw a suggestion on the internet from Drew3.

00:30:41.860 Drew3 suggests that the e-bike gang should be called the Hell's Analogies.

00:30:48.960 Hell's Analogies.

00:30:50.100 Yes, that will be it.

00:30:55.640 Our e-bike gang will be called Hell's Analogies, and we'll be quite the terror.

00:31:03.680 All right.

00:31:04.520 Did you see a story about the Air Force trained an AI drone to destroy SAM sites?

00:31:10.600 But when they ran the simulation, according to the story,

00:31:14.880 the AI decided that the thing holding it back was its human operator,

00:31:20.900 so it attacked the human operator.

00:31:23.580 And then when they programmed it so it couldn't attack the human operator,

00:31:27.480 it just didn't allow that,

00:31:29.480 it attacked the communication towers,

00:31:32.180 because the communication towers are how the human would tell the AI what to do.

00:31:39.120 So it realized it could take out more SAM towers if it got rid of the human element.

00:31:43.240 So it attacked the humans and cut out their communication so they couldn't give it orders anymore.

00:31:49.060 Do you believe that?

00:31:51.240 Wait, does that story sound true?

00:31:55.040 Or does it sound too on the nose?

00:32:01.540 Yeah.

00:32:02.180 No, that's not true.

00:32:04.300 Nancy, you dumb piece of shit.

00:32:05.900 Could you just wait for a minute and stop yelling at me in all caps that I'm so gullible?

00:32:14.860 All right.

00:32:15.560 You stupid piece of shit.

00:32:18.020 Just calm down.

00:32:19.320 Give me two seconds.

00:32:21.000 Sometimes there's a surprise coming.

00:32:23.540 All right.

00:32:24.060 Yeah, so that story, it turns out, was not true.

00:32:27.120 The Air Force was talking in a hypothetical way.

00:32:30.760 So, apparently, they were not clear that it was a hypothetical,

00:32:35.440 and people thought that it actually happened,

00:32:37.100 and it became a big news story.

00:32:38.900 But, indeed, it was too on the nose.

00:32:44.260 So you should have known it was not true from the start.

00:32:48.880 All right.

00:32:51.740 I didn't believe it, but I was going to report it before I got debunked,

00:32:57.160 just because it was a story, but I was pretty sure it wasn't true.

00:33:02.740 All right.

00:33:06.240 Apparently, sex is dying in popularity,

00:33:08.980 according to the Pew Research Center.

00:33:13.280 It found that 60% of men under 30 are opting to remain single,

00:33:17.460 and that's up from 51% in 2019.

00:33:24.820 2019, that's only four years ago.

00:33:27.160 51% of men plan to be single,

00:33:31.300 and now, just four years later,

00:33:33.360 60% of men under 30 are opting to remain single.

00:33:40.700 Except I don't mean, I don't know if that means opting forever

00:33:43.460 or just opting as long as they're under 30.

00:33:45.920 That's a little unclear.

00:33:47.540 But the point of it was, the experts say,

00:33:49.760 porn viewing is making men less interested in women.

00:33:53.560 Do you think that's the problem?

00:33:57.160 Do you think it's the porn viewing

00:33:58.980 that's making men less interested in women?

00:34:01.820 I feel like these experts are not men.

00:34:05.820 I feel like that's something that no man would say.

00:34:09.680 I feel like that's something that a woman would say,

00:34:12.520 a woman expert.

00:34:13.360 Oh, I think the reason that men are not as interested in women's sex

00:34:18.320 is because they watch too much porn.

00:34:21.260 What would a man say?

00:34:24.100 By the way, this applies to addicts as well.

00:34:29.700 I'll give you an example.

00:34:30.620 I once asked somebody who understood the addicted world.

00:34:36.260 I said, suppose you gave people a free fentanyl

00:34:38.580 and you made sure that it was safe

00:34:41.260 and it was like government approved and FDA approved,

00:34:44.280 so it wouldn't give you an overdose.

00:34:46.640 So suppose I give you a free fentanyl.

00:34:48.400 Would that make you stop doing dangerous illegal fentanyl?

00:34:54.100 Do you know what the addict says?

00:34:55.980 I'll take your free fentanyl.

00:34:57.800 Absolutely.

00:34:59.080 And then I will go get some more illegal fentanyl.

00:35:03.160 And I'd say, but wait a minute.

00:35:04.820 I'm giving you a free fentanyl.

00:35:06.080 Yep, thank you.

00:35:07.200 Thank you so much for the free fentanyl.

00:35:09.660 How much are you giving me?

00:35:11.300 Well, I'm not going to give you enough free fentanyl

00:35:13.220 that you could overdose.

00:35:15.240 Exactly.

00:35:16.320 So I'm going to take your free fentanyl

00:35:17.880 and then I'm going to go buy or steal my other fentanyl

00:35:21.020 so I have enough.

00:35:22.640 See, if you try to think like an addict

00:35:27.600 but you're not an addict, you can't do it.

00:35:30.860 If you're not an addict, you cannot think like an addict.

00:35:34.080 You cannot anticipate how they will act

00:35:36.020 because their brain is different.

00:35:38.840 Likewise, no woman can understand what it's like to be a man.

00:35:43.300 Can we agree on that?

00:35:44.620 Except for those few who transition and learn the hard way, I guess.

00:35:48.920 But it's also the same the other way.

00:35:50.860 Men don't really know what's happening in women's brains.

00:35:54.860 We really don't.

00:35:56.380 You know, we can guess.

00:35:58.360 So what do you think a man would say

00:36:00.820 to the notion that porn is the reason

00:36:04.100 that men are less interested in sex with real women?

00:36:07.380 What would a man say?

00:36:09.820 All right, man, I got a deal for you.

00:36:12.320 I'm going to give you unlimited free porn.

00:36:18.120 But you'll also have unlimited free human women.

00:36:23.820 But this porn is really good.

00:36:25.380 See what you do.

00:36:26.420 What would the man do?

00:36:29.280 Thank you.

00:36:30.580 Yes.

00:36:31.160 The answer is both.

00:36:32.640 The answer is both.

00:36:36.240 The man will take your porn and enjoy it.

00:36:40.560 And then four hours later,

00:36:42.000 he'll be looking for a human woman if there's one available.

00:36:45.440 Because we like more.

00:36:48.900 We're built for variety.

00:36:51.700 So if you give us variety,

00:36:53.020 we're not going to say, thanks, we're done.

00:36:55.300 We're going to say, thank you.

00:36:56.700 Give you some more variety.

00:36:58.980 I'll take your variety,

00:37:00.080 and I'll need twice as much of that.

00:37:02.820 Oh, thanks for twice as much.

00:37:04.380 Now I need three times as much.

00:37:07.180 Yeah.

00:37:08.220 So what about the hypothesis

00:37:10.640 that women are less attractive to men?

00:37:13.680 Not because of porn.

00:37:15.820 How about women have made themselves

00:37:17.500 intentionally less attractive to men?

00:37:20.740 Now, not all women.

00:37:22.140 Not all women, of course.

00:37:23.860 Whenever we talk about men and women,

00:37:26.040 everybody's an exception.

00:37:27.460 You're all magical snowflakes.

00:37:29.860 But in general,

00:37:33.120 I would say that

00:37:34.000 women have chosen

00:37:36.820 to be less attractive

00:37:38.500 or to put less effort into being attractive to men,

00:37:41.680 and they've succeeded.

00:37:43.740 So they have different priorities,

00:37:46.340 and I'm not sure there's anything wrong with that.

00:37:48.660 I'm just saying there's a very obvious reason

00:37:51.300 why men are less interested.

00:37:55.500 There's just less there.

00:37:57.320 There's less to be interested in.

00:37:58.880 All right.

00:38:03.720 But it's also social media

00:38:05.320 and lots of other stuff.

00:38:08.680 Apparently, McCarthy came out pretty well

00:38:10.820 in this debt-sealing negotiation.

00:38:12.660 According to Rasmussen,

00:38:14.720 his favorability is improved.

00:38:17.940 So 50% of voters now have a favorable impression of McCarthy,

00:38:22.500 and that's up from 40% in January.

00:38:26.280 That's pretty huge.

00:38:27.640 It's really hard for any leader to get up to 50%...

00:38:31.280 Christina broke it.

00:38:33.780 ...to get up to 50% popularity.

00:38:36.480 But I wasn't sure that McCarthy would become more popular

00:38:40.580 because a lot of people didn't like the deal.

00:38:43.320 But there we have it.

00:38:45.380 He became more popular.

00:38:48.720 There are two completely different news stories today

00:38:51.240 that didn't seem to connect the way they should have.

00:38:55.540 All right.

00:38:55.720 There's one story that says CNN's traffic is way off,

00:39:00.960 so their ratings are down 16% or something lately.

00:39:03.960 And Fox News is also getting hammered.

00:39:08.000 Their ratings are way down as much as 30%, 40%,

00:39:11.540 depending on what show you're watching.

00:39:14.240 Do you see what's missing in the story?

00:39:16.680 So CNN is way down,

00:39:19.180 and Fox News is way down, the two competitors.

00:39:21.780 What's missing in the story?

00:39:27.000 Anybody?

00:39:29.440 It's Trump's fault both times.

00:39:32.340 It's both Trump.

00:39:33.960 Trump destroyed CNN and Fox News.

00:39:37.940 Right?

00:39:39.180 Because it was Trump appearing on the town hall on CNN

00:39:43.440 that cost them their 16% viewership,

00:39:47.380 dropped them to a level that it's hard to imagine they can sustain.

00:39:51.400 And then Tucker was mostly reporting on the problems

00:39:56.840 with the election, as some people saw them.

00:40:00.780 And because he reported on that,

00:40:02.860 primarily, I think that's why Fox News is in trouble

00:40:06.880 and Tucker left and all that.

00:40:09.240 So was it not Trump alone who destroyed both Fox News and CNN?

00:40:15.380 Now, I think they'll both limp by.

00:40:19.700 But here's the question I ask.

00:40:23.600 The Fox News people, when they leave Fox News,

00:40:28.440 they go to other conservative outlets, don't they?

00:40:31.940 They watch Newsmax or they go more to Breitbart or something like that.

00:40:36.220 What do the CNN people do?

00:40:38.840 If they stop watching CNN, do they turn to MSNBC?

00:40:44.880 What's their backup?

00:40:50.000 Because I wonder if they'll just be less informed

00:40:52.460 or if they'll be more radicalized

00:40:55.280 because MSNBC is even crazier than CNN.

00:40:57.620 So we'll see how that goes.

00:41:00.220 But I was amazed at the fact that nobody's connected

00:41:03.820 to the fact that Trump destroyed both of them.

00:41:08.140 Trump destroyed a lot of stuff.

00:41:10.140 Trump destroyed my career, wouldn't you say?

00:41:13.680 Do you think I would be canceled if I had never supported Trump?

00:41:19.340 I mean, really.

00:41:20.880 Do you think there's any chance I would be canceled

00:41:22.880 if I were not identified with having supported Trump?

00:41:27.900 I don't think so.

00:41:29.020 Because no Republicans canceled me.

00:41:32.200 I haven't heard any Republicans complain.

00:41:35.620 It's just Democrats.

00:41:37.120 And it's just Democrats

00:41:38.460 because they cannot abide by any voice

00:41:41.140 that they would associate with being positive

00:41:43.600 for who they believe is the dictator of all dictators,

00:41:47.260 the authoritarian Taylor.

00:41:49.140 Yeah.

00:41:49.700 So Trump destroyed two networks,

00:41:52.180 my career,

00:41:54.140 probably dozens of other careers.

00:41:57.240 Now, of course, I...

00:41:58.640 Just to be clear,

00:41:59.440 let me back up for a second.

00:42:00.900 I always take full responsibility

00:42:02.360 for my own actions.

00:42:04.660 So can I be clear about that?

00:42:06.460 I'm not blaming Trump

00:42:07.960 for anything that happened to me.

00:42:09.980 But it is true that it wouldn't have happened

00:42:12.060 without his existence.

00:42:14.360 Now, everything I did was my own decision,

00:42:16.200 so I own all my outcomes.

00:42:19.080 My outcomes are just mine.

00:42:20.400 But it is true that his role in history

00:42:23.920 is impossible to deny.

00:42:26.440 He is a destroyer.

00:42:28.580 He destroys a lot of stuff.

00:42:30.900 All right.

00:42:33.620 Although I suspect he will be the next president.

00:42:38.900 Here's Trump talking about Biden's cognitive abilities

00:42:42.200 with Hannity.

00:42:44.060 See if this surprises you

00:42:47.120 or you get why he's doing it.

00:42:49.580 Trump decided to tell Hannity

00:42:51.340 to stop joking about Biden's cognitive capacity

00:42:54.660 because he says it's not funny.

00:42:58.400 He says it's true.

00:43:00.220 You know, he's not denying there's a cognitive problem.

00:43:02.640 He says, don't make fun of it.

00:43:04.340 It's not funny.

00:43:07.180 What's he doing?

00:43:08.060 What is that technique called?

00:43:11.640 High ground maneuver?

00:43:12.740 Nope.

00:43:13.960 It is a high ground maneuver.

00:43:16.780 But that's not...

00:43:17.740 Yes.

00:43:18.520 Make you think past the sale.

00:43:20.820 There you go.

00:43:22.220 Classic Trump.

00:43:23.940 What is the sale?

00:43:25.680 The sale is that he's cognitively depleted.

00:43:30.040 If you can make people argue

00:43:31.880 about whether you should joke about it

00:43:33.880 or whether you should treat it seriously,

00:43:35.780 you made him think past the sale

00:43:37.980 that he's cognitively impaired.

00:43:41.380 Boom.

00:43:42.240 Perfect.

00:43:45.200 That, ladies and gentlemen,

00:43:47.420 is why Trump is Trump

00:43:49.640 and you're not.

00:43:52.380 Because he can see this.

00:43:54.540 He can see that that was the way to play that

00:43:56.680 and it's perfect.

00:43:58.300 It's fucking perfect.

00:44:00.140 Not only because someday

00:44:01.580 somebody might try to mock him

00:44:03.140 for his cognitive impairment.

00:44:05.520 Right?

00:44:05.780 So he's putting some defense

00:44:08.120 for himself down

00:44:09.180 in case he ever needs it.

00:44:10.900 But at the same time,

00:44:12.380 he's taking us to a high ground.

00:44:14.100 It's a high ground, as you said.

00:44:15.980 But in addition to being the high ground,

00:44:18.420 it makes you think past the sale.

00:44:20.680 That is his genius.

00:44:22.820 That's what he does.

00:44:24.820 So you're seeing Trump at his best right now,

00:44:27.660 really.

00:44:28.560 Persuasion-wise,

00:44:29.780 he's currently at his best.

00:44:32.420 Now, you do expect him to fly off the rails

00:44:35.300 at certain times

00:44:36.360 because he's always a dangerous entity.

00:44:41.020 But at the moment,

00:44:43.180 he's killing it.

00:44:44.380 He's just killing it.

00:44:45.560 Do you know what else he said?

00:44:47.420 He said he doesn't like to use the word woke

00:44:49.580 because people can't define it.

00:44:53.820 That's right.

00:44:54.540 At the same time that DeSantis

00:44:57.000 is pushing,

00:44:58.540 I'm going to destroy woke,

00:45:00.900 the president,

00:45:02.200 you know,

00:45:02.520 Trump,

00:45:03.360 who you would imagine

00:45:04.620 would be the most anti-woke person

00:45:06.780 you've ever known,

00:45:08.280 has pulled away from the woke thing,

00:45:11.240 and he's not in favor of being woke.

00:45:13.800 He's just saying,

00:45:14.900 that's not really a useful attack.

00:45:16.520 And that is brilliant.

00:45:20.080 Do you know why that's brilliant?

00:45:22.300 Because Trump is running for the general election.

00:45:25.760 And in the general election,

00:45:27.340 saying that you like a little bit of woke

00:45:29.700 is not so bad.

00:45:32.720 It's not so bad.

00:45:34.760 I think that the most reasonable position

00:45:39.460 on wokeness

00:45:40.820 is that a little bit is just polite.

00:45:43.120 A little bit is just polite.

00:45:47.020 Too much is a problem,

00:45:49.220 but it's not where Trump wants to empty his clip.

00:45:52.540 He's going to let DeSantis do that.

00:45:54.940 He's going to play for the general election.

00:45:57.040 Again,

00:45:58.080 perfect.

00:45:59.520 Perfect.

00:46:00.520 I don't know,

00:46:01.640 it makes me wonder if Trump has

00:46:03.600 a new and better advisor,

00:46:06.640 or if he's doing this himself.

00:46:08.320 It looks like his own work, frankly.

00:46:10.120 This looks like pure Trump.

00:46:13.180 But it's brilliant.

00:46:14.080 And he's doing a good job.

00:46:17.600 Speaking of wokeness,

00:46:19.680 you might know that this story is changing quickly.

00:46:23.920 But the Matt Walsh film,

00:46:27.820 What is a Woman?,

00:46:29.720 was banned from Twitter initially.

00:46:32.100 They were going to run it exclusively on Twitter.

00:46:34.500 It was banned from Twitter,

00:46:35.500 but Elon Musk has reversed that.

00:46:41.080 And did you hear what Elon Musk said about this topic?

00:46:45.820 Well, let me tell you.

00:46:48.460 So, first of all,

00:46:49.720 he said it was a mistake

00:46:51.900 by a number of people at Twitter

00:46:54.100 to ban it in the first place.

00:46:56.200 How much do you love that?

00:46:57.680 How much do you love the fact

00:47:00.580 that he made no excuse?

00:47:04.260 No excuse.

00:47:05.920 He said,

00:47:06.480 That's a mistake.

00:47:08.120 And then he changed it.

00:47:10.380 I love that.

00:47:12.480 But he clarified

00:47:13.480 about the film.

00:47:16.020 He says,

00:47:16.720 It is definitely allowed.

00:47:19.300 He said,

00:47:19.920 Whether or not you agree

00:47:20.860 with using someone's preferred pronouns,

00:47:23.360 not doing so is at most rude

00:47:25.520 and certainly breaks no laws.

00:47:27.820 Then he goes on.

00:47:29.800 So, this is Elon Musk.

00:47:31.280 He says,

00:47:31.760 I should note

00:47:32.420 that I do personally use

00:47:34.380 someone's preferred pronouns

00:47:35.780 just as I use

00:47:37.280 someone's preferred name

00:47:38.680 simply from the standpoint

00:47:40.520 of good manners.

00:47:43.580 However,

00:47:44.260 for the same reason,

00:47:45.180 I object to rude behavior,

00:47:46.580 ostracism,

00:47:47.180 or threats of violence

00:47:47.920 if the wrong pronoun

00:47:49.380 or name is used.

00:47:52.520 Now,

00:47:53.760 have you ever heard

00:47:54.520 anybody frame it this way?

00:47:56.120 That they use

00:47:56.860 preferred pronouns

00:47:58.040 just because it's

00:47:59.660 good manners.

00:48:01.940 Good manners.

00:48:07.560 Yeah.

00:48:09.240 Well,

00:48:09.820 the people on the locals platform

00:48:11.400 are getting the correct answer.

00:48:13.840 People on YouTube

00:48:14.620 might have to wait

00:48:15.400 for that answer.

00:48:17.080 People on YouTube

00:48:18.060 say it's Jordan Peterson.

00:48:19.760 Jordan Peterson.

00:48:21.460 Yeah.

00:48:21.940 Jordan Peterson

00:48:22.540 is a good role model

00:48:24.040 to follow on this stuff.

00:48:25.240 All right.

00:48:30.360 So,

00:48:30.980 apparently,

00:48:31.440 that'll be there.

00:48:33.400 Now,

00:48:33.820 I would like to bring up

00:48:34.920 a point

00:48:37.960 which is hard to ignore.

00:48:40.100 Do you remember

00:48:40.500 Bud Light

00:48:41.120 had its problems?

00:48:43.020 And it came after

00:48:44.120 their new VP

00:48:45.120 of marketing

00:48:45.700 thought they'd make it

00:48:47.340 less fratty.

00:48:48.000 And I said to myself,

00:48:52.180 you know,

00:48:52.600 I think maybe

00:48:53.080 the real problem here

00:48:54.080 is that you shouldn't

00:48:54.900 have a woman

00:48:55.780 as a head of marketing

00:48:57.520 for a mostly male product.

00:48:59.940 Yes,

00:49:00.280 I know women use power.

00:49:01.920 You know,

00:49:02.120 they use Bud Light

00:49:03.220 and all that.

00:49:04.640 I get that.

00:49:06.100 But I wouldn't want

00:49:07.360 a man to be

00:49:08.080 the CEO of Avon

00:49:10.100 or Ulta.

00:49:12.780 Maybe they have one.

00:49:13.600 I don't know.

00:49:13.980 But it'd be a mistake.

00:49:14.720 I wouldn't want

00:49:15.620 a man in charge

00:49:16.480 of, you know,

00:49:17.360 Lululemon

00:49:18.040 or basically something

00:49:20.520 that's, you know,

00:49:21.860 entirely,

00:49:22.640 yeah,

00:49:22.900 Tampax,

00:49:23.760 something that's

00:49:24.400 entirely

00:49:24.920 a woman's product.

00:49:28.640 Now,

00:49:29.400 is that a sexist?

00:49:31.040 Because I'm not saying

00:49:32.040 that they can't

00:49:32.620 have the job.

00:49:34.080 I'm just saying

00:49:34.800 that a little

00:49:35.880 common sense,

00:49:37.440 right?

00:49:37.800 The reason that

00:49:38.680 we like diversity,

00:49:40.780 at least I do,

00:49:42.240 the reason that

00:49:43.060 I agree with

00:49:44.400 that diversity

00:49:45.720 improves performance,

00:49:48.060 or it can,

00:49:48.620 if you do it right,

00:49:49.560 is that different

00:49:50.680 people are just,

00:49:52.100 they have more,

00:49:53.220 let's say,

00:49:53.700 sensitivity or exposure

00:49:55.160 or, you know,

00:49:56.540 more internal

00:49:57.720 understanding

00:49:58.420 of some topics.

00:50:01.360 If I were,

00:50:02.380 if I were building

00:50:03.480 a group that was

00:50:05.040 trying to fix,

00:50:06.040 let's say,

00:50:06.560 discrimination

00:50:07.080 against black people,

00:50:09.960 would a white man

00:50:11.280 be the best person

00:50:12.480 to run that organization?

00:50:14.400 Probably not.

00:50:16.320 I think I'd rather

00:50:17.300 have a black person

00:50:18.340 in charge of an

00:50:19.700 organization that's

00:50:20.840 trying to understand

00:50:21.660 the situation

00:50:22.360 for black people.

00:50:24.220 Just makes sense.

00:50:25.880 Now,

00:50:26.360 at the same time,

00:50:27.060 we can't be

00:50:27.780 discriminating,

00:50:29.740 right?

00:50:30.780 You know,

00:50:31.320 we don't want to be

00:50:32.400 using race and gender

00:50:34.140 to make hiring decisions,

00:50:35.740 but these are really

00:50:36.700 special cases.

00:50:38.620 The special case

00:50:39.820 is that the product

00:50:40.640 is really for

00:50:41.620 a specific group

00:50:43.060 of people,

00:50:43.500 or at least

00:50:44.300 that's who

00:50:44.660 the customers are.

00:50:46.100 You know,

00:50:46.300 maybe they're not

00:50:46.980 created for that purpose,

00:50:48.360 but that's who

00:50:48.740 the customers are.

00:50:50.680 So,

00:50:51.700 Elon Musk

00:50:52.400 hires a woman

00:50:54.120 to be the CEO,

00:50:56.080 and immediately

00:50:58.380 after she takes over,

00:50:59.740 this happens.

00:51:01.060 And then

00:51:01.900 he reversed it.

00:51:03.680 Do you think

00:51:04.160 that this was

00:51:04.700 a female decision?

00:51:06.400 Just take a guess.

00:51:07.420 Do you think

00:51:08.580 that the,

00:51:09.320 quote,

00:51:09.440 people who made

00:51:10.400 the mistake

00:51:10.940 in Twitter

00:51:11.440 were men?

00:51:16.960 Yeah,

00:51:17.660 and again,

00:51:18.520 this is not

00:51:19.160 a cut on women.

00:51:20.800 If you're

00:51:21.500 interpreting this

00:51:22.280 as any negative

00:51:23.160 on women,

00:51:23.700 you'd be missing

00:51:24.180 the whole point.

00:51:25.260 I'm saying

00:51:25.740 there are just

00:51:26.100 some types of jobs

00:51:27.400 and some specific

00:51:29.040 things that men

00:51:30.520 and women

00:51:30.940 will act differently,

00:51:32.300 whether it's

00:51:33.280 the CEO of Avon

00:51:34.400 or the CEO

00:51:36.980 of a power tool

00:51:37.740 company.

00:51:39.000 And that,

00:51:39.700 to ignore that

00:51:40.400 would be silly.

00:51:42.240 That would just

00:51:42.660 be ignoring the obvious.

00:51:44.080 The entire point

00:51:45.040 of diversity

00:51:45.680 is that people

00:51:46.820 do have

00:51:47.500 little different

00:51:49.520 sensibilities

00:51:50.540 about different topics.

00:51:52.000 And that's why

00:51:52.540 you need all of them

00:51:53.380 to capture all

00:51:54.640 of the different

00:51:55.100 sensibilities.

00:51:55.980 That's what

00:51:56.320 diversity is about.

00:51:57.600 So the very argument

00:51:58.460 for diversity

00:51:59.620 suggests that

00:52:01.440 there are some

00:52:01.940 places that

00:52:03.220 some types

00:52:04.660 of people

00:52:04.980 are not

00:52:05.340 optimized for

00:52:06.120 because of

00:52:06.600 the nature

00:52:06.860 of the product.

00:52:08.660 And I think

00:52:09.260 we could live

00:52:09.700 with that.

00:52:11.140 I mean,

00:52:11.480 I wouldn't have

00:52:12.880 any problem

00:52:13.260 with that.

00:52:13.880 If somebody

00:52:14.400 said,

00:52:14.840 hey,

00:52:15.260 you men

00:52:15.720 can't,

00:52:16.300 you're just

00:52:16.620 not the right

00:52:17.160 choice for

00:52:18.440 the CEO

00:52:19.240 of Avon.

00:52:21.520 Okay.

00:52:22.460 I could live

00:52:22.940 with that.

00:52:23.480 I wouldn't be

00:52:23.900 complaining at all.

00:52:26.580 All right.

00:52:29.120 Why don't

00:52:29.720 this happen

00:52:30.140 here?

00:52:31.860 And then

00:52:32.320 Musk said

00:52:34.200 that the

00:52:34.620 controversy

00:52:35.220 about the

00:52:36.700 What is a

00:52:37.100 Woman film

00:52:37.520 will drive

00:52:38.600 viewership.

00:52:40.540 And I love

00:52:41.860 the fact that

00:52:42.400 he said that

00:52:42.940 directly,

00:52:44.460 that he's so

00:52:45.080 aware that

00:52:46.340 marketing is

00:52:47.080 about just

00:52:47.660 getting your

00:52:48.060 attention,

00:52:48.560 and then he

00:52:48.980 did it.

00:52:49.680 So don't

00:52:50.100 you think

00:52:50.420 that the

00:52:50.820 What is a

00:52:51.280 Woman video

00:52:52.580 will get the

00:52:53.260 highest viewership

00:52:54.500 it could have

00:52:54.940 possibly ever

00:52:55.720 gotten,

00:52:56.840 and at the

00:52:57.400 same time,

00:52:58.180 Musk does

00:52:59.320 marketing for

00:52:59.960 Twitter and

00:53:00.580 Tesla,

00:53:00.900 and doesn't

00:53:01.760 have a

00:53:02.020 marketing

00:53:02.300 department.

00:53:04.120 This is

00:53:04.820 killing it.

00:53:07.080 Yeah,

00:53:07.760 this is one

00:53:08.840 of those

00:53:09.100 examples I

00:53:09.700 love to

00:53:10.060 give,

00:53:10.640 where the

00:53:11.180 mistake is

00:53:11.860 better than

00:53:12.380 the no

00:53:13.360 mistake.

00:53:14.600 The best

00:53:15.320 example of

00:53:15.860 that is a

00:53:17.000 well-known

00:53:17.380 phenomenon in

00:53:18.200 restaurants.

00:53:19.180 If the

00:53:19.480 customer

00:53:19.780 complains,

00:53:20.920 and then the

00:53:21.480 restaurant

00:53:21.820 manager makes

00:53:22.640 good,

00:53:23.040 either comps

00:53:23.620 the meal,

00:53:24.280 or fixes it,

00:53:25.320 or does

00:53:25.620 whatever they

00:53:26.040 want,

00:53:26.620 they're more

00:53:27.320 likely to

00:53:27.820 come back

00:53:28.240 than less,

00:53:28.980 even though

00:53:29.380 they had a

00:53:29.700 bad experience.

00:53:30.900 Because it

00:53:31.500 got fixed,

00:53:32.300 and they

00:53:32.500 feel important,

00:53:33.420 so they'll

00:53:33.760 come back.

00:53:35.220 And sometimes

00:53:35.900 the mistake,

00:53:37.300 you know,

00:53:37.600 the mistake

00:53:38.280 of ruining

00:53:39.220 the first

00:53:39.700 meal,

00:53:40.420 turned out

00:53:41.080 to make

00:53:41.380 them more

00:53:41.700 money,

00:53:42.640 because they

00:53:43.040 got a

00:53:43.300 repeat customer

00:53:43.940 who became

00:53:44.460 loyal.

00:53:45.860 So this

00:53:47.420 is one of

00:53:47.820 those cases.

00:53:49.480 Musk seems

00:53:50.280 to understand,

00:53:51.740 in a way that

00:53:52.380 other people

00:53:52.820 don't,

00:53:53.940 that if you

00:53:54.580 make a mistake,

00:53:56.000 and then you

00:53:56.660 quickly correct it,

00:53:57.900 you come out

00:53:58.280 ahead.

00:53:58.580 people forget

00:54:00.120 the mistake.

00:54:01.540 Now,

00:54:01.860 I've often

00:54:02.520 told you that

00:54:03.440 the way I

00:54:04.240 judge people,

00:54:05.060 and the way I

00:54:05.520 judge companies

00:54:06.200 as well,

00:54:06.900 it's an extension

00:54:07.620 of that,

00:54:08.380 is I don't

00:54:09.160 judge them

00:54:09.560 by their

00:54:09.900 mistakes,

00:54:11.200 because that's

00:54:11.660 not a standard

00:54:12.360 that you'd want

00:54:13.140 civilization to

00:54:14.460 hold.

00:54:15.680 I don't judge

00:54:16.840 you by your

00:54:17.360 mistake.

00:54:18.060 I do judge

00:54:18.740 you by what

00:54:19.260 you do about

00:54:19.880 it,

00:54:20.640 because once

00:54:21.080 you do

00:54:21.400 something about

00:54:22.040 it,

00:54:22.680 then I can

00:54:23.180 see what

00:54:23.540 kind of person

00:54:24.040 you are.

00:54:24.320 So this

00:54:25.300 is Elon

00:54:25.960 Musk,

00:54:27.260 hire somebody,

00:54:28.680 maybe it

00:54:29.220 had something

00:54:29.600 to do with

00:54:30.100 who he

00:54:30.520 hired,

00:54:31.020 maybe it

00:54:31.400 didn't,

00:54:32.560 but it

00:54:32.900 was a

00:54:33.180 mistake.

00:54:34.420 And instead

00:54:34.820 of making

00:54:35.320 excuses,

00:54:36.140 he just

00:54:36.420 says,

00:54:36.700 that's a

00:54:36.960 total mistake,

00:54:38.360 fixes it

00:54:38.900 quickly right

00:54:39.420 in front of

00:54:39.820 you,

00:54:40.260 and then

00:54:40.860 throws on

00:54:41.400 a kicker.

00:54:42.500 The kicker

00:54:43.140 is,

00:54:43.460 it's going

00:54:43.760 to get

00:54:43.940 more traffic.

00:54:45.140 And then

00:54:45.420 he tells

00:54:45.720 you directly,

00:54:46.400 yeah,

00:54:46.520 it's going

00:54:46.740 to get

00:54:46.900 more traffic

00:54:47.360 now,

00:54:47.600 watch this.

00:54:48.600 You can't

00:54:49.600 fix something

00:54:50.300 harder than

00:54:50.860 that.

00:54:52.300 That is

00:54:52.980 fixed harder

00:54:53.820 than the

00:54:54.240 original.

00:54:55.040 You can't

00:54:55.420 beat that.

00:54:56.720 You're

00:54:57.200 seeing the

00:54:57.840 best

00:54:59.220 human

00:55:00.380 behavior.

00:55:01.880 Made a

00:55:02.280 mistake,

00:55:03.180 it was a

00:55:03.700 mistake.

00:55:04.580 Fixed it,

00:55:05.560 here you

00:55:05.880 go.

00:55:07.000 Can't get

00:55:07.380 better than

00:55:07.680 that.

00:55:08.280 That's the

00:55:08.660 ultimate

00:55:09.060 human

00:55:10.000 behavior.

00:55:12.500 All

00:55:12.980 right.

00:55:15.660 And that

00:55:16.280 brings me to

00:55:16.900 my final page

00:55:17.720 of notes,

00:55:18.180 which it

00:55:18.500 turns out

00:55:18.820 are empty.

00:55:20.380 So I

00:55:20.800 must be

00:55:21.140 just about

00:55:21.580 done.

00:55:22.420 Was there

00:55:22.720 a story I

00:55:23.220 missed

00:55:23.420 today?

00:55:24.260 Anything

00:55:24.720 that was

00:55:25.180 bothering you

00:55:25.860 that you

00:55:26.200 said to

00:55:26.520 yourself?

00:55:27.460 I'd like

00:55:28.060 to hear

00:55:28.440 more about

00:55:29.060 that.

00:55:30.640 What?

00:55:31.920 Oh my

00:55:32.500 God,

00:55:32.840 my sandbag

00:55:33.460 is talking

00:55:33.880 again.

00:55:35.600 No,

00:55:36.080 I didn't

00:55:36.400 give you

00:55:36.680 a name.

00:55:38.220 You

00:55:38.640 have a

00:55:38.940 name?

00:55:40.040 It

00:55:40.260 turns out

00:55:40.600 the sandbags

00:55:41.440 have names?

00:55:43.700 Yeah.

00:55:44.620 Well,

00:55:44.900 what is

00:55:45.160 your name?

00:55:48.000 That's

00:55:48.400 funny.

00:55:50.800 He says

00:55:51.280 his name

00:55:51.700 is

00:55:51.920 de-sand-dis.

00:55:55.480 De-sand-dis.

00:55:57.120 That's

00:55:57.560 not funny.

00:56:00.400 I'll tell

00:56:00.980 you,

00:56:01.160 sandbags

00:56:01.680 are terrible

00:56:02.400 at puns.

00:56:03.620 They're

00:56:03.840 terrible

00:56:04.120 at puns.

00:56:05.020 This guy's

00:56:05.720 been trying

00:56:06.100 all day,

00:56:06.800 and that

00:56:07.240 was the

00:56:07.480 best he

00:56:07.840 could come

00:56:08.220 up with.

00:56:08.640 De-sand-dis.

00:56:10.600 Come on.

00:56:13.660 I'll tell you

00:56:14.340 what,

00:56:14.520 I'll turn you

00:56:14.960 into a

00:56:15.320 silicon chip

00:56:15.920 myself,

00:56:16.360 if you'll

00:56:16.880 just shut

00:56:17.360 up.

00:56:18.200 All right.

00:56:21.800 All right,

00:56:22.420 is anything

00:56:22.700 else

00:56:23.240 happening?

00:56:24.580 City

00:56:24.960 bike

00:56:25.280 Karen?

00:56:26.420 That

00:56:26.760 story is

00:56:27.220 old.

00:56:32.620 Elon

00:56:33.140 and

00:56:33.480 RFK?

00:56:34.100 What about

00:56:34.420 them?

00:56:34.620 Do you

00:56:39.720 think I

00:56:40.040 should use

00:56:40.420 the sandbag

00:56:41.160 as my

00:56:42.040 co-star

00:56:43.620 on the

00:56:44.280 episodes?

00:56:44.700 Because a

00:56:45.860 lot of

00:56:46.040 people have

00:56:46.520 the sidekick.

00:56:48.680 No?

00:56:49.040 No sidekick?

00:56:50.180 All right,

00:56:50.460 we won't

00:56:50.800 use the

00:56:51.180 sidekick.

00:56:52.660 The ATR

00:56:53.420 has spoken.

00:56:57.200 If you

00:56:57.860 were on

00:56:58.260 the locals

00:56:58.700 platform,

00:56:59.260 you'd know

00:56:59.540 what the

00:56:59.800 ATR is.

00:57:03.160 Now,

00:57:03.740 if you

00:57:04.040 were reading

00:57:04.440 the

00:57:04.740 Dilbert

00:57:05.200 Reborn

00:57:05.620 comic,

00:57:06.220 which is

00:57:06.540 available

00:57:06.820 only on

00:57:07.400 subscription,

00:57:08.240 both on

00:57:08.840 Twitter and

00:57:09.460 on the

00:57:10.160 locals

00:57:10.380 platform,

00:57:11.460 if you

00:57:11.900 were reading

00:57:13.440 that,

00:57:14.700 you would

00:57:15.380 find out

00:57:15.820 that

00:57:16.000 Dilbert's

00:57:16.440 company

00:57:16.780 just

00:57:19.480 hired a

00:57:20.280 new VP

00:57:20.720 of marketing

00:57:21.180 for their

00:57:21.660 power tools

00:57:22.220 division.

00:57:24.560 It's a

00:57:25.260 woman,

00:57:26.240 and she

00:57:27.900 immediately

00:57:28.320 suggests hiring

00:57:29.320 Dylan Mulvaney

00:57:30.200 to be the

00:57:32.360 face of

00:57:36.520 their power

00:57:37.020 saws.

00:57:39.060 So that's

00:57:40.260 happening in

00:57:40.720 the Dilbert

00:57:41.060 comic.

00:57:41.360 it's

00:57:45.140 just like

00:57:45.520 reality.

00:57:50.080 No,

00:57:50.740 they can't

00:57:51.280 use

00:57:51.480 Black and

00:57:51.940 Decker,

00:57:52.300 that's

00:57:52.480 racist.

00:57:53.380 Black and

00:57:54.000 Decker?

00:57:55.120 That's a

00:57:55.800 racist

00:57:56.040 tool.

00:57:58.860 How much

00:57:59.200 does

00:57:59.380 locals

00:57:59.780 cost?

00:58:01.580 I believe,

00:58:02.460 now,

00:58:02.780 locals is

00:58:03.700 lots more

00:58:04.460 content than

00:58:05.680 just the

00:58:06.580 Dilbert

00:58:06.860 Reborn

00:58:07.460 comic,

00:58:07.820 comic.

00:58:08.760 So you

00:58:09.100 get lots

00:58:09.480 more

00:58:09.680 there,

00:58:10.060 and that's

00:58:10.420 $7 a

00:58:12.640 month,

00:58:13.620 but if

00:58:14.360 you buy

00:58:14.760 an annual,

00:58:15.760 it's $5 a

00:58:16.460 month.

00:58:17.840 On Twitter,

00:58:18.740 it's $3 a

00:58:19.760 month,

00:58:20.020 but that

00:58:20.300 just gets

00:58:20.720 you the

00:58:21.140 Dilbert

00:58:21.540 Reborn

00:58:21.900 comic.

00:58:22.800 I'm

00:58:23.200 thinking of

00:58:23.600 putting some

00:58:23.980 of the

00:58:24.140 archive up

00:58:25.640 there.

00:58:26.940 What do

00:58:27.240 you think

00:58:27.480 of me

00:58:27.840 rerunning

00:58:28.520 the archive

00:58:29.120 from the

00:58:29.560 first day?

00:58:31.260 Just the

00:58:31.920 first day

00:58:32.540 of Dilbert,

00:58:33.520 and then

00:58:33.880 just go

00:58:34.300 day by

00:58:34.720 day?

00:58:34.980 So you

00:58:36.920 can see

00:58:37.200 the new

00:58:37.520 one,

00:58:37.780 but you

00:58:37.940 could also

00:58:38.300 see the

00:58:38.880 35 years

00:58:39.960 ago one

00:58:40.500 at the

00:58:41.140 same time.

00:58:44.340 What would

00:58:45.020 be better,

00:58:45.640 to do the

00:58:46.140 same comic

00:58:46.800 that ran

00:58:47.220 on the

00:58:47.520 same day?

00:58:50.980 No,

00:58:51.320 probably just

00:58:51.700 start from

00:58:52.040 the start.

00:58:53.340 All right.

00:58:54.040 Well,

00:58:54.320 I'm thinking

00:58:54.620 of doing

00:58:54.960 that.

00:58:56.360 It's

00:58:56.540 going to

00:58:56.680 be a

00:58:56.900 little

00:58:57.020 extra

00:58:57.300 work.

00:58:58.520 Teach

00:58:58.860 Andrew

00:58:59.240 Tate

00:58:59.540 the art

00:58:59.880 of

00:59:00.040 cartooning.

00:59:02.340 Nancy,

00:59:03.020 I don't

00:59:04.960 think I

00:59:05.460 need his

00:59:05.800 competition.

00:59:07.920 But there

00:59:08.420 are some

00:59:08.720 spots in

00:59:09.220 newspapers that

00:59:09.900 opened up,

00:59:10.520 so he's

00:59:11.060 got that

00:59:11.420 going for

00:59:11.840 him.

00:59:15.000 You

00:59:15.360 wouldn't

00:59:15.620 live long

00:59:16.140 enough to

00:59:16.500 see all

00:59:16.860 of them.

00:59:17.160 Oh,

00:59:17.280 that's a

00:59:17.520 good point.

00:59:18.420 If I

00:59:18.760 ran the

00:59:19.100 entire

00:59:19.400 Dilbert

00:59:19.780 archive from

00:59:20.380 the beginning,

00:59:21.020 it would

00:59:21.220 take 35

00:59:21.880 years to

00:59:22.380 get to

00:59:22.620 the end.

00:59:25.320 One a

00:59:25.860 day.

00:59:27.140 That is

00:59:27.640 so weird.

00:59:28.280 I can't

00:59:28.600 hold that in

00:59:29.040 my head,

00:59:30.100 that if I

00:59:30.540 did one a

00:59:31.040 day, it

00:59:31.280 would take

00:59:31.520 35 years for

00:59:32.520 you to see

00:59:32.860 them all.

00:59:33.140 I

00:59:34.560 actually,

00:59:35.420 like I

00:59:36.080 can't even

00:59:36.420 hold that

00:59:36.780 in my

00:59:37.020 head.

00:59:39.200 It's

00:59:39.600 true, and

00:59:40.140 yet you

00:59:40.500 can't

00:59:40.760 conceive it.

00:59:43.880 Yeah,

00:59:44.360 maybe a

00:59:45.280 week of

00:59:45.600 them or

00:59:45.880 something.

00:59:46.420 I don't

00:59:46.620 know, I'll

00:59:46.940 have to

00:59:47.280 think about

00:59:47.660 it.

00:59:49.980 Yeah,

00:59:50.440 $70 for a

00:59:51.400 year on

00:59:51.840 locals, I'm

00:59:52.380 sorry.

00:59:56.520 That is the

00:59:57.200 correct number,

00:59:57.800 $70 a

00:59:58.560 year.

00:59:58.700 $70.

00:59:58.740 $70.

00:59:58.780 $70.

00:59:58.820 $70.

00:59:58.860 $70.

00:59:59.260 $70.

00:59:59.820 $70.

01:00:00.780 $70.

01:00:00.820 $70.

01:00:00.860 $70.

01:00:02.780 $70.

01:00:03.140 All right.

01:00:07.240 Long

01:00:07.720 COVID doesn't

01:00:08.540 cause blood

01:00:09.120 clots and

01:00:09.680 blindness.

01:00:11.900 I've never

01:00:12.560 heard that it

01:00:13.140 did, so I

01:00:14.520 agree with

01:00:14.920 you.

01:00:15.480 But we

01:00:16.400 also don't

01:00:16.880 know what

01:00:17.140 Jamie Foxx's

01:00:18.220 actual condition

01:00:19.120 is.

01:00:19.840 We don't

01:00:20.200 know.

01:00:20.860 And we

01:00:21.300 also don't

01:00:21.880 know what

01:00:23.460 other possible

01:00:24.300 things it

01:00:24.760 could have

01:00:24.980 been.

01:00:26.220 There's lots

01:00:26.940 we don't

01:00:27.320 know there.

01:00:27.980 Maybe we

01:00:28.420 should keep

01:00:28.740 it that

01:00:28.960 way.

01:00:29.140 Dill

01:00:31.940 Burrito's

01:00:32.500 probably not

01:00:33.000 coming back.

01:00:37.520 He's

01:00:38.040 playing

01:00:38.260 pickleball

01:00:38.760 with

01:00:38.960 Fetterman.

01:00:42.900 All

01:00:43.180 right.

01:00:45.820 Ray

01:00:46.160 Charles'

01:00:46.600 sequel.

01:00:47.400 Oh my

01:00:47.920 God.

01:00:49.660 Oh no.

01:00:50.620 Did that

01:00:50.920 really happen?

01:00:51.500 Oh that's

01:00:56.000 bad but it

01:00:56.620 has to be

01:00:57.060 repeated.

01:00:59.320 So no I

01:01:01.700 can't even

01:01:02.020 say it.

01:01:02.440 That's too

01:01:03.240 bad.

01:01:05.520 There was

01:01:06.360 a reference

01:01:08.440 there that

01:01:09.060 wasn't really

01:01:09.780 making fun of

01:01:10.560 Jamie Foxx.

01:01:12.080 Not really.

01:01:14.000 But you

01:01:14.580 would take it

01:01:15.080 that way.

01:01:15.440 It's a little

01:01:15.720 too soon.

01:01:16.600 A little

01:01:16.860 too soon for

01:01:17.480 that.

01:01:17.920 I guess I

01:01:18.280 like Jamie

01:01:18.800 Foxx too

01:01:19.340 much.

01:01:20.100 If it were

01:01:20.500 Biden I'd

01:01:21.100 probably say

01:01:21.540 it.

01:01:22.520 But Jamie

01:01:22.980 Foxx is

01:01:23.520 actually sort

01:01:24.060 of beloved.

01:01:25.480 I appreciate

01:01:26.000 him too

01:01:26.380 much to

01:01:26.820 have any

01:01:28.060 fun with

01:01:28.500 his situation.

01:01:30.960 All right.

01:01:31.360 Yeah.

01:01:31.540 Too soon.

01:01:32.260 Too soon.

01:01:34.260 Shipping

01:01:34.740 strike.

01:01:35.940 Is that

01:01:36.360 going to

01:01:36.560 happen?

01:01:40.840 All

01:01:41.320 right.

01:01:45.280 Oh yeah.

01:01:45.920 I saw the

01:01:46.500 article about

01:01:47.500 liberal women

01:01:48.280 over 30

01:01:48.960 are becoming

01:01:49.480 trad wives.

01:01:51.100 Well I

01:01:51.860 don't know

01:01:52.140 that that's

01:01:52.520 backed by

01:01:53.240 data.

01:01:53.980 But it

01:01:54.160 was an

01:01:55.620 article that

01:01:56.400 said that

01:01:57.580 the radicalized

01:01:58.760 20-something

01:01:59.800 women sort

01:02:01.640 of disappear

01:02:02.220 after they

01:02:02.980 reach a

01:02:03.640 certain age

01:02:04.140 and get

01:02:04.400 married.

01:02:05.860 And it

01:02:06.920 turns out

01:02:07.360 they're not

01:02:07.680 finding any

01:02:08.220 meaning.

01:02:08.880 This is the

01:02:09.620 hypothesis.

01:02:10.880 That they're not

01:02:11.380 getting any

01:02:11.860 meaning from

01:02:12.480 the complaining.

01:02:13.600 That their

01:02:14.020 meaning comes

01:02:14.740 from family,

01:02:15.920 traditional kind

01:02:16.620 of stuff.

01:02:17.480 So once

01:02:17.820 they find

01:02:18.360 that,

01:02:19.580 then they

01:02:20.040 lose their

01:02:21.200 fiery

01:02:22.440 revolutionary

01:02:23.580 energy.

01:02:26.720 Which makes

01:02:27.500 sense.

01:02:30.040 It makes

01:02:30.840 sense that

01:02:31.400 when you're

01:02:31.860 so this is

01:02:33.260 what I've

01:02:33.600 often said.

01:02:35.240 You have to

01:02:36.120 be somehow

01:02:36.660 attached to

01:02:38.140 the reproductive

01:02:38.980 process to

01:02:41.200 find meaning

01:02:41.800 in your life.

01:02:42.460 But you

01:02:43.260 could be

01:02:43.560 attached in

01:02:44.440 a variety

01:02:45.140 of ways.

01:02:46.140 For example,

01:02:46.820 if you didn't

01:02:47.220 have any

01:02:47.560 kids of

01:02:47.880 your own,

01:02:49.000 but you

01:02:49.420 were a

01:02:50.160 pediatrician,

01:02:52.040 you'd

01:02:52.820 probably find

01:02:53.340 great meaning

01:02:53.880 in that,

01:02:54.260 because you're

01:02:54.560 literally

01:02:54.980 keeping

01:02:55.400 children alive.

01:02:58.320 If you

01:02:58.880 were a

01:02:59.140 teacher,

01:03:00.440 and you

01:03:00.680 didn't have

01:03:01.040 your own

01:03:01.440 kids,

01:03:02.640 but every

01:03:03.060 day you

01:03:03.400 were teaching

01:03:04.160 kids to

01:03:04.720 be better

01:03:05.100 kids,

01:03:06.000 that probably

01:03:07.040 would have

01:03:07.360 a lot of

01:03:07.700 meaning.

01:03:09.020 I imagine.

01:03:10.260 But if you

01:03:10.900 didn't have

01:03:11.360 any attachment

01:03:12.360 to the

01:03:13.280 reproductive

01:03:14.060 making

01:03:16.100 kids

01:03:16.500 adults

01:03:16.900 process,

01:03:18.180 it's hard

01:03:18.680 to find

01:03:19.260 any meaning

01:03:20.780 in that.

01:03:23.020 Now,

01:03:24.080 some of

01:03:25.200 you have

01:03:25.480 probably

01:03:25.780 asked,

01:03:26.480 why in

01:03:26.720 the world

01:03:27.020 did I

01:03:27.360 ever get

01:03:27.740 married in

01:03:28.240 the first

01:03:28.540 place,

01:03:29.280 since I

01:03:30.040 have two

01:03:30.480 marriages

01:03:30.820 and two

01:03:31.240 divorces?

01:03:32.120 And both

01:03:32.560 of them

01:03:32.780 had a

01:03:33.360 step-kid

01:03:33.920 element to

01:03:34.580 them.

01:03:35.660 And part

01:03:36.320 of the

01:03:36.540 attraction

01:03:36.920 is that

01:03:37.980 it was a

01:03:38.620 family

01:03:39.040 situation,

01:03:40.420 and when

01:03:40.920 you're

01:03:41.220 attached to

01:03:42.220 any family

01:03:43.820 situation,

01:03:44.680 you feel

01:03:45.120 more meaning

01:03:45.700 in your

01:03:46.000 life.

01:03:46.700 And I

01:03:47.000 absolutely

01:03:47.360 did.

01:03:48.080 So I

01:03:48.560 absolutely

01:03:49.100 felt more

01:03:49.740 meaning,

01:03:51.060 and that

01:03:51.960 was the

01:03:52.380 best part

01:03:52.820 of being

01:03:53.100 married,

01:03:53.520 really.

01:03:54.120 To me,

01:03:54.440 that was

01:03:54.640 the best

01:03:54.920 part,

01:03:56.080 is that

01:03:56.920 you felt

01:03:57.320 complete.

01:03:59.380 Would you

01:03:59.960 agree?

01:04:00.960 Because if

01:04:01.700 you judge

01:04:02.140 marriage from

01:04:02.900 how much

01:04:03.380 fun it is,

01:04:04.500 you don't

01:04:04.860 get the

01:04:05.180 right answer.

01:04:08.180 Right?

01:04:09.660 Yeah.

01:04:09.900 You can't

01:04:10.540 judge it

01:04:10.900 by

01:04:11.060 entertainment,

01:04:12.240 you can't

01:04:12.580 judge it

01:04:12.860 by fun,

01:04:13.720 you can't

01:04:14.220 judge it

01:04:14.520 by how

01:04:14.860 much sex

01:04:15.400 you get

01:04:15.780 or don't

01:04:16.100 get.

01:04:17.560 I mean,

01:04:18.040 all of

01:04:18.360 those matter,

01:04:19.380 but that's

01:04:19.860 not why

01:04:20.240 you do

01:04:20.540 it.

01:04:21.200 You either

01:04:21.720 feel complete

01:04:22.620 or you

01:04:23.460 don't.

01:04:25.080 And that's

01:04:26.040 why, to

01:04:26.560 me, divorce

01:04:27.240 was very,

01:04:28.020 let's say,

01:04:29.760 damaging.

01:04:31.380 Because I

01:04:33.060 wasn't thinking,

01:04:33.860 oh, I'm

01:04:34.140 going to lose

01:04:34.500 all those fun

01:04:35.220 times.

01:04:35.900 I was

01:04:36.260 thinking I

01:04:37.600 was incomplete.

01:04:38.500 So that's

01:04:40.900 what you

01:04:41.160 end up

01:04:41.460 with.

01:04:45.200 Now, you

01:04:46.200 might notice

01:04:46.860 that after

01:04:49.520 my first

01:04:50.080 marriage broke

01:04:51.160 down, I

01:04:53.700 made a

01:04:54.360 vow that,

01:04:55.900 I'm not

01:04:56.240 sure if I

01:04:56.640 said it

01:04:56.940 publicly.

01:04:58.760 You'll have

01:04:59.360 to fact

01:04:59.760 check me

01:05:00.100 on this.

01:05:00.620 Have I

01:05:00.940 ever said

01:05:01.320 this publicly?

01:05:02.580 That after

01:05:03.520 my first

01:05:04.200 marriage broke

01:05:04.800 down, I

01:05:05.800 donated myself

01:05:06.860 to the

01:05:07.860 public?

01:05:08.500 Did I

01:05:09.960 ever say

01:05:10.300 that out

01:05:10.600 loud?

01:05:11.560 I literally

01:05:12.500 donated

01:05:13.020 myself, my

01:05:14.580 blood and

01:05:15.640 energy, to

01:05:16.700 the public.

01:05:18.180 So that

01:05:19.560 gives me a

01:05:20.360 sense of

01:05:21.080 meaning.

01:05:23.560 And, you

01:05:24.620 know, every

01:05:25.120 day when I

01:05:25.720 hear from

01:05:26.060 people who

01:05:26.600 say I

01:05:27.580 changed their

01:05:28.140 lives, made

01:05:29.760 them more

01:05:30.060 money, they

01:05:30.580 lost weight,

01:05:31.280 stopped

01:05:31.500 drinking, all

01:05:32.160 that stuff,

01:05:33.120 that is

01:05:33.700 really

01:05:34.220 meaningful.

01:05:35.780 Really

01:05:36.260 meaningful.

01:05:36.600 because I

01:05:37.360 know all

01:05:37.720 that stuff

01:05:38.180 is translating

01:05:39.180 into how

01:05:39.780 you treat

01:05:40.400 your family.

01:05:42.000 Right?

01:05:42.940 If everything

01:05:43.740 is better

01:05:44.160 with you,

01:05:45.580 then it's

01:05:46.140 better with

01:05:46.500 your kids

01:05:46.900 too.

01:05:48.320 They're happy

01:05:48.940 you lost

01:05:49.380 weight, they're

01:05:49.820 happy you

01:05:50.160 made more

01:05:50.520 money, they're

01:05:51.040 happy you

01:05:51.420 gave up

01:05:52.000 alcohol.

01:05:52.400 so I've

01:05:57.000 decided to

01:05:57.560 be as

01:05:58.220 useful as

01:05:58.840 I can to

01:05:59.800 the full

01:06:01.440 body of

01:06:02.200 the American

01:06:03.280 and maybe

01:06:03.960 world public

01:06:04.740 and that

01:06:07.960 gives me

01:06:08.420 tremendous

01:06:08.960 meaning.

01:06:10.120 If you ever

01:06:10.720 wonder why I

01:06:11.460 do so much

01:06:12.020 of this, I

01:06:13.100 mean, because

01:06:13.340 I don't need

01:06:13.720 to be here,

01:06:14.240 right?

01:06:15.540 I literally

01:06:16.420 don't need to

01:06:17.120 be here.

01:06:17.940 There's nothing

01:06:18.540 pushing me.

01:06:19.540 I have no

01:06:20.020 fear.

01:06:20.600 I'm not

01:06:21.480 trying to

01:06:21.800 get away

01:06:22.080 from a

01:06:22.440 fear.

01:06:24.140 I'm here

01:06:24.740 because it

01:06:25.160 has meaning

01:06:25.580 and I think

01:06:26.920 it would be

01:06:27.260 useful to

01:06:27.880 some of

01:06:28.240 you.

01:06:29.400 That's why

01:06:29.960 I'm here.

01:06:31.280 Now, I

01:06:31.880 monetize it

01:06:32.720 because I'm

01:06:33.800 not a fool.

01:06:35.540 So, of

01:06:36.140 course, it's

01:06:36.500 monetized, but

01:06:37.600 I would do

01:06:38.100 something else

01:06:39.060 if only money

01:06:40.200 was the thing,

01:06:41.260 right?

01:06:41.740 I wouldn't

01:06:42.240 act this way

01:06:42.980 if it was

01:06:43.600 only about

01:06:43.980 money.

01:06:45.660 All right,

01:06:46.440 that is all

01:06:46.880 for now,

01:06:47.440 YouTube.

01:06:48.040 Thanks for

01:06:48.520 joining.

01:06:49.240 I'll see you

01:06:49.820 tomorrow.

01:06:50.600 You've

01:06:51.240 been great

01:06:51.720 today.
