Rikkidee Jr. interviews Elon Musk and David Sachs and Jordan Peterson. RFK Jr. argues that he has the best chance to win the 2020 election if Joe Biden is still functioning by election day. And aliens are invading the planet.
00:05:11.400The hard part is getting Democrat votes, right?
00:05:13.820Because apparently he's not exactly catching the Democrat system on fire.
00:05:19.760But as he points out, and I agree, if he were to become the candidate, if he became the Democrat candidate, what percentage of Democrats would vote for him?
00:08:07.940Would you bet against him knowing the only thing keeping him out of office is Joe Biden's health, and he's literally dying right in front of us?
00:09:17.180Because when he talks about the history of big pharma and how the laws changed and how big pharma came to be able to advertise and how we're taking two and a half times more stuff and everything.
00:09:29.920Now, I'm not sure that everything he says has all the context and is really telling me everything I need to know.
00:11:18.160He started by saying exactly what I say, which turns out to be exactly what Jordan Peterson agrees, which is there's something to the science, which is if you add human-made CO2, it should make things warmer, all things being equal.
00:11:34.460But he doesn't seem to think that we should stop everything and that's our biggest thing to work on.
00:13:46.940You can't get enough windmills, and you're not going to have enough solar power, and what happens when it's cloudy and the wind isn't blowing.
00:15:06.800If the only thing you were looking at is the cost of building the plant, is it cheaper to build your $1 billion solar plant than your $20 or $40 billion nuclear plant for the same wattage?
00:15:24.580If you're just looking at initial costs, and also if you're looking at initial approvals, I would imagine it would be faster, you could probably build a nuclear.
00:15:33.600But that doesn't get you where you need to go, right?
00:15:36.580Just building a bunch of solar doesn't get you too dependable.
00:15:40.220But would you buy just the first part of the argument, that if it were dependable, I'm not saying it is, but if it were dependable, would it be cheaper?
00:15:51.840Because solar, you could just put it there and it just sort of runs and, you know, there's a recycling issue there as well.
00:16:03.520And I'm going to, and let's assume that batteries are part of it, right?
00:16:07.880Batteries are part of the answer, of course.
00:16:10.340So would you accept that he's done the math and he will tell you that building a solar plant is cheaper for the same amount of electricity as nuclear when you consider all of the risks and costs of nuclear and how long it takes and all that?
00:16:27.400Would you allow that the initial build cost would be far less for solar?
00:17:52.940The real thing we need is to fix our energy grid in this country so that anybody who has electricity can share it with anybody who needs it.
00:18:04.540Which has completely deflated everything I've ever thought.
00:18:08.820Because, first of all, I don't know if that's practical.
00:18:11.560I don't know if it might be too big of a job.
00:18:14.960But he's talking about it as a massive national effort to build out the energy infrastructure.
00:18:23.960It would allow every person to be a creator of electricity and to sell it into the grid.
00:18:32.060And if the grid were done well enough, presumably you could get the electricity from wherever you have it, you've got extra, to wherever you need it.
00:18:43.120So, for example, not everybody would have to be in the sun.
00:18:47.580As long as some people were in the sun, they could ship their energy to the people who didn't have any, etc.
00:18:55.320Until you had enough of extra of everything, because every house would be manufacturing energy and putting it back into the network, that you would have enough.
00:19:05.700And it would be the cheapest way to get there.
00:19:07.640It would also fix a problem that you would need to fix even if you had nuclear.
00:19:12.140Even with nuclear, you'd still want to fix your grid.
00:19:18.100So when he talks about fixing the grid as the solution that makes green energy work, that's a hell of a good argument.
00:24:36.300Because he would look like a member of the elite.
00:24:38.220His voice problem normalizes him, humanizes him, and takes the Kennedy off him, right?
00:24:46.940If you think of the Kennedys, you think of sort of these beautiful, perfect people who just seem to have an extra gear that you don't have.
00:24:54.940But RFK Jr. also has a gear that you don't have.
00:24:59.400I mean, he is operating at a high level that's just shockingly interesting.
00:25:03.700But when you add the voice problem on top of it, it makes him one of you.
00:25:29.180All right, his biggest problem is trying to beat the Democrats' superdelegates, but that's only if he's actually in it with Biden still in the race.
00:25:40.540The superdelegates would not be an issue if Biden is no longer in the race.
00:25:45.540And I think that's, I don't know if RFK Jr. wants to say that directly, but the real bet here is that Biden is just not in the primary by the time it comes around.
00:26:47.920But if I had to average them in my head, it would be around 40%.
00:26:53.280I'm seeing most people are around 25%, but there are higher ones.
00:26:59.280So it looks like your average would be around 40%.
00:27:02.240Now, who has the best chance of winning the presidency?
00:27:05.240If you believe that Biden's chance of being the candidate are only 40%, that makes RFK Jr. most likely to be the president.
00:27:20.720I don't know if the betting markets have figured this out yet.
00:27:24.780But if the betting markets are also saying there's only a 40% chance that Biden will be the actual healthy enough and together enough to be the nominee.
00:27:36.540If you take him out of the picture, it is RFK Jr. all day long.
00:28:39.400I know this is unusual, but Trump was a normal Republican, meaning that Trump didn't believe the craziest stuff that the extreme Republicans believed.
00:28:53.760And I believe that he could actually, I think he actually brought people toward the middle.
00:29:20.180Now, of course, he was demonized to the point where you couldn't notice, but he did it.
00:29:25.180I think RFK Jr. would do that for the progressives.
00:29:30.220We know that Biden is not, let's say, reigning in the progressives as much as he could, although I would give him credit that he's ignoring them to a large degree.
00:29:41.580So he is doing a good job of ignoring the crazies.
00:29:47.280But I think RFK Jr. would do even more because he's bringing this common sense, you know, middle ground thing.
00:29:53.720So if you think the biggest problem in the world is wokeness, see, this will be very non-obvious.
00:30:01.340If you think the biggest problem in the country is wokeness, who is more likely to get rid of it?
00:30:07.940DeSantis, who is the anti-woke guy, or RFK Jr., who just says, let's concentrate on common sense?
00:30:23.720The more he says you should be anti-woke, the more they're going to say, oh, yeah, I'm going to be twice as woke.
00:30:29.660I will triple my wokeness just because you don't like it.
00:30:33.260So the weird thing about RFK Jr. and Trump is that they're the ones you would want the other side to have as their leader in case you lose.
00:30:46.440So if you're a Republican, you might prefer running, having him as the other side, because at least if you lose, the crazies won't be in control on the Democrat side.
00:31:04.040But you've still got a lot of questions around the Second Amendment and nuclear power and climate change and a lot of things he's going to have to answer for.
00:31:41.060The fact that you saw it in a video has no impact on whether it really happened.
00:31:47.120Because you've seen a million videos where you saw it with your own eyes, but it didn't happen because it was edited to change the reality.
00:32:22.080So I think the context was limited to some specific players who were so bad in polluting the world, they thought maybe they should go to jail.
00:32:33.360So I don't believe this had to do with you and I doubting climate change.
00:35:29.100So you think the guy who thinks that even Nazis should have a right to free speech thinks that you should go to jail for doubting climate change.
00:35:39.980You think that happened in the real world?
00:36:59.420But he's talked to people who have, who are curiously not whistleblowers.
00:37:07.120And the other thing we know about these UFOs is that they only seem to crash on American territory.
00:37:12.980Unless every nation in the world is in on it.
00:37:20.880For example, do you believe that there's never been a UFO crash on the continent of Africa, but there are fallen like flies on the United States and we're just picking them up before anybody notices?
00:37:32.360Really, there's not a single one that ever fell in a country that doesn't have a good, let's say, a government that can swoop in with their high technology and cordon it off and keep it from you.
00:37:49.360We've never had one fall in the desert where anybody on a camel can just walk up to it and say, hey, what's going on here?
00:37:58.460When the UFOs fall, and they're falling quite frequently on United States territory, according to the whistleblower, that they never fall where civilians can see them.
00:39:17.140That the government created a secret task force with the specific intention of keeping them from finding out the truth so that they would lie to the public without having to lie?
00:43:44.120The question was, according to a Rasmussen poll, what percentage of the voting public say that the Target store focusing on Pride Month made them more likely to shop at the store?
00:44:27.760Because it was definitely the right vibe in 19-whatever.
00:44:33.820Whenever the idea of gay pride first came up, I think that was sort of right on point because they didn't want to be shamed and that was sort of the big problem.
00:44:49.180When was the last time you met somebody who didn't think that, you know, a gay person had, you know, full respect or whatever words you want to put on it?
00:45:30.860When it was, let's say, you know, you would be the subject of mockery or whatever if you were gay, then Pride is exactly what you want to try to bring up, you know, bring everybody up to something like equal.
00:45:48.560And, but once you get there, and even your staunchest critics agree that, okay, everybody's equal, you know, the Constitution gives you rights.
00:46:02.660Once you get to that point, and I would argue, for the most part, we're at that point.
00:46:07.420I mean, there will always be lingering bigotry in every area.
00:46:11.460But at some point, Pride is just the wrong word.
00:46:13.840Like, once you've succeeded, I would say that the gay community, LGB, maybe the T is still coming along, but the Q part, I would say it's the most successful population group in the country in terms of turning around their reputation or their situation in the country.
00:46:38.220I would say that, by far, they're just the most, in my opinion, my respect for the LGBT community is extreme.
00:46:47.880Because I think they took the hardest, the hardest turn.
00:54:57.940I could take any 100 black kids on average and make them, on average, higher earners and have, you know, better, more successful lives
00:55:09.360than an average white person who didn't have any strategy, who was just trying to figure it out on their own.
00:55:14.800So, in my opinion, the way to address systemic racism, and this feels like a message that somebody like a Tim Scott could take, because he did this.
00:55:26.920Tim Scott overcame systemic racism by personal strategy.
00:55:33.260He just did the things that you do to win, and then he won.
00:55:36.120So, I think that the message should be that systemic racism is real, and you should not ignore it, and if you can do anything to make it less, go ahead and do it.
00:55:50.440Your solution is to take people who are in a hole, give them strategy, make them successful, and then systemic racism goes away on its own.
00:56:00.060Imagine, if you will, a future in which a black candidate comes into your office for a job, and the first thing you think is,
00:56:10.760oh, good, I hope I got one of those strategy guys.
00:56:26.740In one generation, you could teach black Americans strategy, and every time they came into a job meeting, your bias would be, oh, a strategy person.
00:56:38.780I want somebody who understands strategy.
00:56:42.920So, you do that, and systemic racism largely melts away on its own.
00:56:48.360So, don't go after the systemic racism directly.
00:56:51.200Go after the individuals, fix them so they can slice through the systemic racism, and then there won't be any.
00:56:59.600Because when those people come into your office, you're going to say, yay, got one of those.
00:57:06.760All right, over in Ukraine, the counteroffensive is totally on, or maybe not, and a big dam was blown up, either by the Ukrainians or possibly the Russians.
00:57:16.540So, we've got lots of good information coming from there, and also the Ukrainians are totally winning, but also the Russians are totally winning, totally winning.
00:59:34.860Nobody said it was so critically important to the war that if it's flooded, it's going to change the course of the war or anything like that.
00:59:43.400To me, it looks like it was just the Ukrainians taking out the electricity in the area that they're attacking, which it did.
00:59:51.520All right, they have to cross it to reach the other areas, but was that the one place they had to cross?
01:00:01.160I mean, I've got a feeling that there are just lots of ways that Ukraine can get at, you know, that gigantic line on the border.
