Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2137 Scott Adams： Trump Insults Barr, Bolton Insults Trump, Grace Insults Olberperson, More

00:00:00.480 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization and possibly robots, too.

00:00:08.520 And if you'd like this experience to go to levels that I know you deserve, and you know it, too,

00:00:14.120 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:22.160 Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:25.460 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine here today, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:31.700 It's called Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:00:35.960 Go.

00:00:41.180 Ah-ha-ha.

00:00:43.020 Ah-ha.

00:00:45.140 Yeah, that's the stuff.

00:00:47.600 Well, today I'll be talking about Trump insulting Bill Barr, John Bolton insulting Trump,

00:00:53.280 Nancy Grace insulting Keith Olbermann, sadist trolls insulting everyone, and an actress insulting DeSantis.

00:01:01.580 Do you remember a time when we used to have news?

00:01:06.180 Remember that?

00:01:07.960 It was like, it's called N-E-W-S, news, news.

00:01:13.860 Have you heard of it?

00:01:14.600 Now it's pretty much just people insulting people, and then reading a page about it.

00:01:21.520 It doesn't really feel like news anymore.

00:01:26.980 Here's something interesting that's happened.

00:01:29.740 I know a lot of you are boycotting this or that,

00:01:33.380 but have you noticed that the Fox News page just completely stopped following news?

00:01:38.860 It seems like they gave up on the whole news thing, didn't they?

00:01:44.760 I mean, CNN's news is just opinion pieces insulting Trump,

00:01:49.420 and then some things you already knew happened.

00:01:52.700 There's still a war in the Ukraine.

00:01:55.200 Well, thanks for the deep investigative look there.

00:01:59.960 So I don't know if it's, is it purely economic?

00:02:04.000 I think there's an economic problem, right?

00:02:05.820 They just don't have investigative anything.

00:02:07.880 It looks like they gave up on their investigative work,

00:02:11.680 and all they do now is report the things they saw in other media.

00:02:17.500 I think Fox News just does the same thing I do.

00:02:20.640 Just read other media and talk about it.

00:02:23.360 It doesn't look like anything new.

00:02:26.900 But CNN's no better.

00:02:29.260 All right.

00:02:32.260 So Elon Musk has invited Alex Soros onto his spaces.

00:02:37.880 I don't know if he's responded yet to the offer.

00:02:42.100 But the question will be progressive DAs,

00:02:46.880 and whether, now that he's taking over for his father,

00:02:50.500 whether he will be still funding these progressive DAs.

00:02:56.220 Now, we do know that the son is, quote,

00:02:59.280 more political than his father,

00:03:01.900 which, you know, by itself is fine,

00:03:04.240 because our system allows people to be as political as they want,

00:03:07.640 perfectly legal and ethical.

00:03:10.160 But the funding of the DAs, I don't think,

00:03:13.600 I don't think it worked the way any of the Soroses imagined it should or could work. 0.99

00:03:19.740 So I would be amazed if he could go in public and say,

00:03:24.160 yeah, we're going to do more of this.

00:03:26.420 So that's why I think this Musk offer is so important.

00:03:30.040 I love the fact that the news can be doing its celebrity insulting stuff.

00:03:35.240 And the only thing that was important to us this week

00:03:40.220 is what Elon Musk offered to solve,

00:03:44.060 which is what's up with these progressive DAs ruining our cities.

00:03:48.720 And so Musk offers to put Alex or Alexander,

00:03:54.340 I don't know which he is, Alex or Alexander,

00:03:56.500 don't know which one he prefers,

00:03:58.600 Soros on, and to actually just talk about it and probably solve it.

00:04:02.360 Actually just solve it.

00:04:03.420 It's so different than the regular news.

00:04:07.000 I feel like when you watch regular news,

00:04:09.460 it's just going to be people talking at you and you don't know who was lying.

00:04:13.480 But I feel if Musk brings somebody on to talk about a specific topic,

00:04:19.660 they're trying to actually solve it, which would be interesting.

00:04:24.340 Because you wonder if Alexander Soros has the same sources of information,

00:04:30.520 same inputs as the rest of us do.

00:04:36.320 And wouldn't it be interesting to find out?

00:04:38.640 And wouldn't it be interesting to see them defend it?

00:04:41.860 Defend what they've done so far?

00:04:44.400 I mean, I don't think that could be any more useful or entertaining at the same time.

00:04:49.320 So I'm loving Musk doing that.

00:04:54.360 Apparently Musk has also invited Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow to do their shows on Twitter,

00:05:03.960 promising them that they would have a much bigger audience than they have right now.

00:05:07.600 And I don't think either of them will say yes,

00:05:10.900 but I like Musk's instincts to make sure that he's always on the side of free speech

00:05:17.700 and not on the side of any political party.

00:05:21.600 So there's always so much you can do to look objective,

00:05:24.600 objective, but at least that's in the right direction.

00:05:28.600 It's not like you see MSNBC offering me to go on their show, right?

00:05:35.660 He's the only one doing it.

00:05:37.420 And I would say that these are legitimate offers

00:05:39.960 because Don Lemon and Rachel Maddow are completely associated with one side.

00:05:47.260 So it's not like he's looking for the weakest member of the other side,

00:05:54.480 you know, that trick.

00:05:55.820 Oh, yeah, we have both sides.

00:05:58.120 We've got Hannity, who's amazing,

00:06:01.120 and then Combs, who's really bad on TV.

00:06:04.100 He's the other side.

00:06:06.660 Yeah, the Fox News trick, which works so well.

00:06:10.600 All right.

00:06:12.680 So that's good.

00:06:13.540 I saw a tweet by Jonathan Shedler talking about a new study

00:06:20.620 that suggests that people who publicly shame and dogpile on social media

00:06:25.380 are not motivated by moral outrage or a desire to do good.

00:06:31.200 Huh.

00:06:32.900 Huh.

00:06:34.240 Is that true?

00:06:35.300 What could they be motivated by,

00:06:37.600 the people who shame and dogpile on social media?

00:06:40.300 What could it be?

00:06:42.040 What could it be?

00:06:44.540 What could that be?

00:06:46.780 What, what, what?

00:06:47.940 Oh, well, the study says it could be sadism,

00:06:50.820 that they just get off on the cruelty.

00:06:56.980 Complete surprise.

00:07:01.120 It's sort of what Jordan Peterson's been saying for a long time.

00:07:04.240 We figured out a way to boost the worst among us.

00:07:09.200 It was, it was like we made a tool to make sure sadists could get maximum contribution into society.

00:07:16.180 And to me, this helps.

00:07:20.380 So I've got a troll who's been bugging me lately.

00:07:26.280 And you probably say to yourself, well, why don't you just block them?

00:07:30.320 Just block them.

00:07:31.240 It's easy.

00:07:32.040 Or mute them or something. 0.93

00:07:33.080 But this particular troll is too fun.

00:07:36.360 I'm having trouble torturing him in public because he, you know, didn't understand my situation. 0.68

00:07:42.100 So he's flailing around. 0.78

00:07:44.340 So sometimes torturing a troll in public is good, clean fun.

00:07:48.860 And I recommend it.

00:07:50.600 But, you know, don't try it at home if you're not a professional.

00:07:54.640 All right.

00:07:55.040 Yeah.

00:07:55.280 People on social media are mostly broken people.

00:08:00.880 I hide my sadism behind my profession.

00:08:06.380 Now, I'm not a sadist.

00:08:08.240 But when I'm on social media, I'm going to go after people hard if they deserve it.

00:08:14.240 I mean, if they have it coming.

00:08:17.920 But I tell myself it's all for good reasons.

00:08:20.140 So the libs of TikTok got a tweet about a Denver City council member, Candy C. DeBucca,

00:08:29.720 who was running for re-election.

00:08:31.760 I think she lost.

00:08:32.980 But she was suggesting that white-owned businesses should be taxed extra to give that money to 0.51

00:08:38.440 black-owned businesses.

00:08:40.620 And she lost. 0.82

00:08:42.440 Imagine that.

00:08:44.120 That open racism was not as popular as you thought.

00:08:50.140 So Candy Chewbacca lost her re-election bid. 1.00

00:08:56.720 Bummer.

00:08:58.680 Do you think we've reached peak wokeness?

00:09:02.620 Now, I've said we have.

00:09:04.640 What do you think?

00:09:06.140 Now, just to clarify, peak wokeness doesn't mean there will be less of it.

00:09:11.300 All right.

00:09:11.440 That's very important now.

00:09:14.040 What's that?

00:09:14.760 Owen Benjamin says...

00:09:15.720 I'm trying to use persuasion by getting asked to accept things.

00:09:18.820 Owen hopes Scott watches his show and gives his opinion.

00:09:24.120 Okay.

00:09:28.380 What was I talking about?

00:09:30.480 I don't know.

00:09:31.160 Your comment got me sidetracked there.

00:09:33.440 Peak wokeness.

00:09:34.780 Yeah.

00:09:35.120 So peak wokeness, in my opinion, means that you can now openly mock it.

00:09:41.120 That's what the peak is.

00:09:42.480 The peak isn't that there will be less of it.

00:09:44.460 It's just that we can now openly mock it without the same risk that you had before.

00:09:51.020 And I think that's true in every domain.

00:09:54.020 You can just openly mock the wokesters. 1.00

00:10:01.460 All right.

00:10:02.160 So Trump has responded to Bill Barr, who apparently thinks some of the charges are valid, the Mar-a-Lago box and stuff. 0.99

00:10:16.220 And he said that Bill Barr is a gutless pig. 0.99

00:10:21.460 A gutless pig? 1.00

00:10:23.820 I don't even know what that means. 0.96

00:10:25.220 I mean, it feels like those are opposites. 0.90

00:10:30.200 Like a pig is something with a big gut. 0.97

00:10:33.160 But he's not even a good pig. 1.00

00:10:36.520 He's like a gutless pig. 0.99

00:10:38.520 That would be like a boneless chicken. 0.99

00:10:40.860 No, a boneless chicken would be good. 0.89

00:10:43.020 But a gutless pig? 1.00

00:10:44.700 Well, I guess you have to gut the pig before you eat it.

00:10:46.920 I don't know.

00:10:47.260 It's all very confusing.

00:10:48.120 I don't know if it's his best work, but I'd like to note that all of the news today is about people insulting other people.

00:10:58.380 So it's not important in any way.

00:11:01.520 But it's just the only news we have is who insulted people.

00:11:05.120 It's a very light news day today, I have to warn you.

00:11:08.860 No more UFO news.

00:11:13.340 All right.

00:11:14.000 We have a lot of, in this country, would you agree, red flags?

00:11:20.420 Would you agree that you see a lot of things that are starting to develop and you say, wait a minute, that's a little bit of a red flag, isn't it?

00:11:28.920 You know, like you see freedom of speech being curtailed and you say, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's a red flag.

00:11:35.360 It's a red flag.

00:11:36.040 But I would like to suggest there is one red flag that's in front of all of us that's the biggest of all red flags to the point where there's never been a bigger red flag.

00:11:48.320 And here it is.

00:11:50.020 The sitting president of the United States who is running for re-election doesn't feel the need to campaign.

00:11:57.620 He's one of the least popular presidents of all times.

00:12:02.980 The polls say that he would lose and he doesn't feel the need to campaign.

00:12:08.720 That is the reddest of all red flags, ladies and gentlemen.

00:12:13.060 There is nothing scarier than the guy who's behind feeling he doesn't need to campaign. 0.94

00:12:19.700 Because if the guy who seems to be behind in the polls does no effort to campaign and he fucking wins, it's going to get ugly. 0.98

00:12:32.780 It's going to get ugly. 0.98

00:12:34.580 There is no bigger red flag in the country than the guy who's running for re-election from behind is not campaigning.

00:12:44.760 Now, we imagine that the reason is that, you know, his surrogates do it and he's doing his job and, you know, maybe he's all less of it.

00:12:57.260 I don't know about that.

00:12:59.280 I think that under every situation, you would campaign unless you thought you didn't need to.

00:13:06.620 Am I wrong?

00:13:08.300 You would campaign unless you thought it wasn't going to be a real election.

00:13:12.740 You know, with actual voting making the difference.

00:13:17.040 It doesn't look like he believes it's a real election coming up.

00:13:21.520 And if the president of the United States is acting like it's not a real election, there's no bigger flag than that.

00:13:29.760 That's the biggest of the biggest of the biggest.

00:13:33.000 You cannot get a bigger red flag than the guy who's behind and president not campaigning.

00:13:40.920 And you could try to sell us about, you know, he's busy or, you know, his health is not 100 percent, but he'd be fine for president.

00:13:49.940 You could try.

00:13:51.640 But I'm sorry, that's not the message I'm getting.

00:13:54.560 The message I'm getting is that you've already fixed the election.

00:13:58.720 Now, I don't have any evidence whatsoever to back up, you know, that kind of speculation.

00:14:03.320 I'm just saying that's the message they're sending us.

00:14:07.040 How else would I interpret this?

00:14:09.560 Because I don't interpret it as he's too weak, you know, physically weak.

00:14:14.140 Because if that were true, he would drop out.

00:14:17.980 Am I wrong?

00:14:19.500 If he were unable, and they know he'll be unable for the next year, he would already drop out.

00:14:26.000 Because they want as much time as possible to get, you know, a good substitute in there.

00:14:31.000 So, I just don't know what to say about this, except they're sending a screamingly, you know, direct message to us that the election won't be real.

00:14:45.720 I don't know.

00:14:46.540 There's nothing redder than that red flag.

00:14:48.920 That's all I got to say about that. 0.99

00:14:50.180 All right, a Hamilton actress got on stage at some Tony Awards or some stupid award thing that we don't care about. 0.98

00:15:02.900 And cleverly referred to Ron DeSantis, not as the governor of California, but ha, ha, ha, the Ku Klux Klan grand wizard. 0.98

00:15:13.220 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:15:16.020 And the audience, did they laugh?

00:15:18.840 Oh, how they laughed.

00:15:21.300 Oh, how they laughed at the cleverness involved in that comment.

00:15:27.920 But I'd like to remind you, if you believe that getting rid of Trump gets rid of the baggage, that's not a thing.

00:15:37.240 That is not a thing.

00:15:39.120 You can eliminate from your consideration the fact that Trump has baggage. 0.97

00:15:44.000 Because they would just transfer all their bullshit over to DeSantis, and he would be the grand wizard of the KKK on day one when he got ahead of Trump in the polls. 0.96

00:15:55.460 There is no difference in how much baggage a Republican brings to the race. 0.99

00:16:01.800 No difference.

00:16:02.640 Because the Democrats are just going to see the ridiculous MSNBC version of all the candidates. 0.96

00:16:09.780 And to them, it looks like they all have baggage.

00:16:11.460 So, yeah, I would say the number one biggest reason for not voting for Trump has just been taken away by the Democrats.

00:16:24.400 The Democrats have removed your best reason to not vote for Trump, that he's trouble, and all of his baggage will, you know, come blowing back on you because, you know, you're just trying to mind your own business and be a, you know, just be a candidate or just be a citizen.

00:16:42.560 And suddenly, it's your fault, too.

00:16:45.920 I mean, right now, if you wore a Make America Great Again hat, it would not be safe to go in public.

00:16:53.820 Would you agree?

00:16:55.220 Would you agree that most places in the country, it would not be safe to be in public supporting your choice of president?

00:17:04.120 Somebody who was president.

00:17:07.040 Now, what do you think if you wore a DeSantis hat after he became president?

00:17:12.560 Let's say he becomes president.

00:17:14.380 Now, you go outside wearing your DeSantis hat.

00:17:17.340 Safe?

00:17:18.660 All safe now?

00:17:20.000 Because nobody's going to think you're a KKK wizard, right?

00:17:23.660 No.

00:17:24.560 No. 1.00

00:17:25.040 They will paint him as a KKK wizard, and it will be unsafe to wear his fucking hat outside. 1.00

00:17:32.520 You can't even fucking go outside as a Republican if you have an opinion. 1.00

00:17:38.960 That's the country you're living in. 0.99

00:17:40.540 You can't go outside.

00:17:42.560 You can't go outside safely.

00:17:48.080 All right.

00:17:49.780 John Poulton says that Trump should drop out of the race.

00:17:53.680 And I don't think Trump's ever had a better week.

00:17:58.900 How would you like to be running for president and have John Poulton say that he backs your opponent?

00:18:07.340 Isn't that like the best day ever?

00:18:08.940 And I saw some pushback from Democrats saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, you have to remember that Trump actually hired Bolton, and that would be an indication of how bad he is at judging people.

00:18:25.520 So Trump's a bad judge of people because he once hired Bolton.

00:18:30.160 Except, did you hear how Trump described the use of Bolton? 0.57

00:18:35.460 He was so insane, you know, and warlike that Trump used him just as a threat.

00:18:42.480 He would just put him in the room to scare people. 0.79

00:18:45.100 He didn't even use him as like an advisor.

00:18:48.500 He literally used him as a scarecrow.

00:18:51.260 Literally, a scarecrow.

00:18:56.740 You just put him in the corner and said, you know, you better make a deal with me because, well, look at the scarecrow.

00:19:04.620 You're not going to want to make a deal with the scarecrow because the scarecrow wants to just bomb you.

00:19:10.140 I might give you some options.

00:19:12.400 You know, you talk to me.

00:19:14.460 I'm a dealmaker.

00:19:15.400 Maybe we could work something out, but if you don't make a deal with me, look at that scarecrow.

00:19:22.180 Scarecrow is going to get you.

00:19:24.160 Scarecrow is under the bed.

00:19:26.160 John Bolton is under your bed.

00:19:27.480 Watch out.

00:19:28.280 Watch out.

00:19:28.800 He's in your closet.

00:19:29.580 He's under your bed.

00:19:31.440 And he's going to get you if you don't make a deal with me.

00:19:34.760 So I'm not sure the Democrats quite understood how Trump was using John Bolton there.

00:19:39.420 Keith Olbermann questioned Nancy Mace, Representative Nancy Mace, when she was making some comparisons to Hillary. 0.94

00:19:52.220 Hillary's email, getting rid of her email and destroying some devices with a hammer. 0.99

00:19:57.960 And Olbermann said that she was hallucinating and those things did not happen.

00:20:02.720 Now, Nancy Mace, of course, gave him the link to his own, you know, favorite network, CNN, to show him that even CNN says it happened.

00:20:14.580 It very much happened.

00:20:16.320 She did destroy devices, government devices, phones, I think, with a hammer. 1.00

00:20:22.720 You know, she had people do it, but same thing. 0.52

00:20:25.780 And Olbermann was not aware of that.

00:20:29.460 He acted like somehow the news hadn't gotten to him.

00:20:32.720 Which is weird.

00:20:35.480 So Nancy Grace responds.

00:20:41.480 She goes, fact.

00:20:42.740 A hammer was used to destroy government devices, and Hillary Clinton's server was wiped out with a program called Bleach Bit.

00:20:50.040 All fact-checked by CNN.

00:20:52.040 Link below.

00:20:53.260 And then she says in her tweet, maybe your weed is stale.

00:20:56.660 Who's hallucinating now?

00:20:58.800 Maybe your weed is stale.

00:21:00.440 There's just some good insults today. 1.00

00:21:05.440 We got your gutless pig. 1.00

00:21:07.880 We got your weed is stale. 1.00

00:21:10.320 We got your Ku Klux Klan instead of a governor. 1.00

00:21:14.940 Yeah, yeah.

00:21:15.440 We got some good insults today. 0.55

00:21:18.000 All right.

00:21:18.120 Here's some insults to Anderson Cooper.

00:21:22.720 Who was it who said, I think RFK Jr. was backing this comment.

00:21:28.880 Somebody said that $10 million of Anderson Cooper's $12 million annual salary is from Pfizer.

00:21:36.460 Now, I think that was meant to be hyperbolic in the sense that Pfizer doesn't write him a direct check.

00:21:44.960 But if Pfizer is 80% of your advertising during a show, it would not be wrong to say that 80% of his pay comes from Pfizer.

00:21:55.600 That's not exactly how it works, because the revenue of the network comes from different places, and a lot of it is carriage fees.

00:22:06.100 Did you know that?

00:22:07.440 How many of you know what the carriage fees are for a network, for a cable news show like CNN or Fox News?

00:22:16.420 Let me explain it.

00:22:18.800 If you were to order a cable service to watch TV, you would want to make sure that you've got at least the basic channels.

00:22:27.620 Now, so you'd go to Fox and you'd say, hey, we want to carry you for free.

00:22:32.860 For free.

00:22:33.780 You don't even pay anything.

00:22:35.500 And we'll let people see your show with all your advertisements.

00:22:38.540 Now, you'd think that Fox News would say, yay, I have more customers, and they'll get to see my advertising.

00:22:44.860 So the more customers who see me, the better, because we're selling advertising.

00:22:49.980 But Fox News and CNN and the other news sites are so important to any cable operation that the cable company pays Fox News to be on their network.

00:23:02.660 And that's actually, I think, where they get most of their money.

00:23:05.340 I don't think it's advertising, and I don't think it's directly based on how many people watch it.

00:23:12.200 Although they could probably charge more if more people watch it.

00:23:16.180 So just know that that's where they get the money.

00:23:19.820 It's not in advertising models so much as charging cable companies to have you on their model.

00:23:26.660 But yet it's true that Pfizer is doing most of the advertising on Anderson Cooper's show.

00:23:35.340 It would not be possible for Anderson Cooper to disagree with Pfizer.

00:23:41.040 Would you say that's fair?

00:23:43.940 We don't assume there's any scenario in which you would say something that Pfizer disagreed with.

00:23:49.480 So is that news?

00:23:52.660 Are you really watching the news when one of the biggest areas of news is pharma,

00:23:59.500 and the guy who's reading it to you cannot say something that his sponsor would not like?

00:24:06.040 I mean, that would be just too expensive.

00:24:11.820 All right.

00:24:13.920 All right.

00:24:19.480 Here's an interesting factoid.

00:24:21.580 You knew that North Korea is always trying to hack everybody's crypto. 0.94

00:24:26.060 But apparently they're so good at it that it's funding their nuclear program.

00:24:32.540 Like half of their nuclear program is funded by crypto hacking.

00:24:39.540 Now, who had that on their prediction card for cryptocurrencies?

00:24:44.960 I think the cryptocurrency would be good, except for the part where it causes a nuclear confrontation.

00:24:54.780 Who in the world thought that crypto would cause a nuclear confrontation?

00:24:58.980 And I assume it's probably all Bitcoin.

00:25:03.500 I don't know that, but it's probably mostly Bitcoin.

00:25:10.280 Do you believe getting rid of Biden gets rid of the BS?

00:25:13.180 No, nobody believes that.

00:25:18.640 What can you buy with crypto?

00:25:20.500 Apparently, it's good for buying nuclear weapons.

00:25:25.000 All right.

00:25:25.860 Do you know that story about Cuba was going to put a Chinese listening post in Cuba?

00:25:32.060 And we got all excited about it.

00:25:35.620 Well, apparently the government says,

00:25:37.260 ah, they've been doing that kind of thing since 2019.

00:25:40.080 Business as usual.

00:25:41.020 Now, I have a theory that it's not bad for adversaries to have listening devices on each other.

00:25:54.400 I don't know that that makes you less safe.

00:25:58.000 I feel like, you know, having our spy planes fly over each other might make you safer.

00:26:04.500 Because you've got a better idea of what each other's doing.

00:26:08.220 That always seems like a better situation, not a worse.

00:26:11.220 Now, might they pick up secret communications?

00:26:14.960 Well, I hope we're not sending any secret communications through things that you can see from Cuba.

00:26:22.300 Is that even a thing?

00:26:24.200 Can you pick up secret conversations from Cuba?

00:26:28.120 I don't know.

00:26:30.360 You could pick up normal conversations.

00:26:32.940 But maybe they have some way to, I don't know, decode stuff that we don't know about.

00:26:39.100 So I guess the story is we shouldn't be too excited because it's sort of normal business.

00:26:44.300 And don't you assume we're doing the same thing?

00:26:47.440 Don't you assume we're sitting off of the coast of China with our listening devices?

00:26:52.280 So I'm not terribly sure it's the worst problem in the world.

00:26:57.520 It just sounds like the big countries all listen to each other and try to know as much as they can about the other.

00:27:03.260 And I don't know that that makes us less safe.

00:27:05.720 It might actually make us more safe.

00:27:07.620 As long as we're both doing it and it's, you know, it's fairly transparent.

00:27:12.520 Everybody knows the other is doing it.

00:27:14.960 I don't know.

00:27:15.320 Keeping an eye on each other might be better than not.

00:27:19.400 Might be.

00:27:22.280 So CNN is trying to spin things as usual.

00:27:27.520 And they got their chief propagandist, this Dean Obadiah, who likes to say anything bad about Trump.

00:27:34.020 And he's saying that there's a big difference, oh, a big difference, between Hillary getting rid of her emails

00:27:40.540 or even having stuff that she shouldn't have on her servers and Trump's documents.

00:27:49.040 Oh, a big difference.

00:27:49.980 Do you know what the difference is?

00:27:52.280 Are you aware of that?

00:27:53.880 The big, big, big difference.

00:27:55.700 These are completely different.

00:27:57.740 Yeah.

00:27:58.120 The difference is that Dean Obadiah read each of their minds and she, that he read Hillary's mind

00:28:05.280 and found out that she had no bad intentions.

00:28:08.500 No bad intentions.

00:28:10.560 So that's fine.

00:28:11.140 But then he read Trump's mind to find out that him keeping those documents was bad intentions.

00:28:19.100 Bad intentions.

00:28:20.680 So how can you compare good intentions to bad intentions?

00:28:24.040 That wouldn't be fair, would it?

00:28:25.620 I mean, who does that?

00:28:27.020 Who compares good intentions to bad intentions?

00:28:29.740 I mean, one is bad.

00:28:31.300 It has bad right in the name.

00:28:33.000 Bad intention.

00:28:34.280 And then the other is good because why?

00:28:36.000 Because that's the word good right in it.

00:28:38.100 Good intentions.

00:28:39.300 So those are opposites.

00:28:40.780 Completely different.

00:28:43.460 If you're a mind reader, if you're a mind reader, we've actually gotten to the point

00:28:49.800 where CNN reports mind reading just matter-of-factly, without any, you know, sort of hedging it,

00:29:00.560 well, you know, we're just speculating about this.

00:29:04.800 If they said we're just speculating or a person in this situation, you would expect them to think

00:29:11.140 this way, perfectly reasonable.

00:29:13.660 But to simply state as a fact what the two of them were intending, that's not exactly news.

00:29:21.720 It's not even an opinion.

00:29:23.940 Is that an opinion?

00:29:25.640 To say that you know what a stranger was thinking and their hidden intentions?

00:29:30.220 It's not really even an opinion. 1.00

00:29:33.020 It's just bullshit. 0.99

00:29:34.980 Or propaganda. 1.00

00:29:36.480 Or idiocy or something. 1.00

00:29:38.480 I don't know. 0.99

00:29:39.200 Whatever it is, it's definitely not news.

00:29:43.660 All right, today was a no-news day, as you could tell.

00:29:47.860 It was literally nothing but people insulting people and misinterpreting people.

00:29:53.680 Nothing else happening.

00:29:55.660 What's going on?

00:29:57.860 Is there something big happening?

00:29:59.980 Is there something big coming?

00:30:01.820 All right, let me give you the news about Ukraine.

00:30:06.000 There's a counter-offensive, and some stuff's getting blown up.

00:30:13.660 And that's really all we know.

00:30:16.820 And we've got, like, two photographs.

00:30:19.900 We've got two photographs, so that's it.

00:30:24.740 Yeah, Silvio, yeah, Berlusconi died.

00:30:28.840 But I suppose that was going to happen.

00:30:31.860 No way around it.

00:30:33.160 Yeah, there's a road that was destroyed.

00:30:40.360 I mean, why is it that the biggest news is about a highway situation?

00:30:47.980 All right, here's what I think.

00:30:49.900 I think we're seeing the effects of the news business being gutted.

00:30:54.060 And I believe there's news out there.

00:30:58.600 I would guess that Monday is probably a day when there'd be a lot of it out there.

00:31:03.920 But there wasn't any.

00:31:05.400 There was basically no news today.

00:31:08.220 There was nobody who had enough money to do an investigation

00:31:12.060 to come up with something that wasn't just a public figure giving a public speech

00:31:17.320 or writing something in public, and then we'd talk about it.

00:31:21.160 Well, all we're doing is talking about what people talked about.

00:31:24.360 Nothing else.

00:31:25.520 That's all I did.

00:31:27.000 Today I just talked about what people talked about.

00:31:29.940 There was no news.

00:31:34.420 What?

00:31:35.100 Tom Fitton's house raided by FBI?

00:31:37.440 That's not true, is it?

00:31:39.260 Tell me that's not true.

00:31:41.540 Please.

00:31:42.920 That's not in the news, is it?

00:31:48.160 Yeah, okay, I don't think that's true.

00:31:50.920 No, somebody says it's true.

00:31:53.560 Well, I'm seeing a bunch of yeses over on YouTube.

00:31:57.100 YouTube says it's true.

00:32:00.680 Tom says it. 1.00

00:32:02.960 Holy shit. 1.00

00:32:06.140 Oh, a couple months ago. 0.99

00:32:07.500 Somebody says it was a couple months ago.

00:32:14.360 Why did I never hear that story?

00:32:18.760 Interesting.

00:32:22.800 Yeah.

00:32:24.500 All right.

00:32:25.100 It's not true.

00:32:36.600 All right, so forget about that.

00:32:38.300 Somebody says it's true.

00:32:39.400 Somebody says it's not true.

00:32:42.120 I don't know.

00:32:49.420 He's just trying to fit in

00:32:50.860 because his shirts are too tight.

00:32:53.480 They're not fitting.

00:32:54.360 Did I discuss Dylan going blonde?

00:32:59.420 No.

00:33:03.720 Killer whales.

00:33:06.980 We do have killer whales.

00:33:10.660 Can't find anything.

00:33:11.780 All right, we're going to say that that's not real.

00:33:18.040 Oh, yeah, there was the four Colombian children 0.98

00:33:20.920 found in the jungle.

00:33:22.320 Well, I tried to read that, but

00:33:24.320 never use a crackhead for your bag man.

00:33:32.560 Okay. 0.95

00:33:36.160 The Russian was eaten by a shark.

00:33:38.160 Yeah, I saw some kind of thing about Lauren Southern's divorce 1.00

00:33:44.200 that somehow made news.

00:33:47.500 I thought, we are completely and totally out of news.

00:33:51.060 I mean, why does anybody's divorce make news?

00:33:54.900 San Jose, police union executive indicted for fentanyl smuggling.

00:34:05.440 I think that happened a while ago, though, right?

00:34:10.320 Major lab leak origin of coronavirus.

00:34:14.280 Well, why do we care about news about the Wuhan lab leak?

00:34:20.080 What else is there to say about that?

00:34:24.540 Don't you all assume that's exactly where it came from

00:34:27.420 and that it's confirmed?

00:34:29.080 Is there anything else to say about that?

00:34:37.680 You know, I'm not believing the excess death reports

00:34:41.200 because I think that the quality of data is so bad

00:34:47.160 that I don't know that we can tell that.

00:34:49.500 I wouldn't deny it

00:34:50.620 because there are lots of reasons that you would have excess deaths,

00:34:53.760 but I just don't trust it.

00:34:56.980 Don't trust the data.

00:35:01.080 All right.

00:35:02.560 42-year-old from ESPN who died?

00:35:04.700 I don't know about that.

00:35:07.840 You don't believe people are dying?

00:35:11.260 No, of course I believe people are dying.

00:35:17.540 Insurance companies would know.

00:35:20.480 Has anybody's insurance grown up?

00:35:24.500 Has anybody's life insurance grown up

00:35:26.500 or does it not work that way?

00:35:33.880 Yes?

00:35:35.140 Of course, they do have the option of raising their prices

00:35:39.140 if you believe that there's reason. 0.99

00:35:43.980 Oh, typing sucks.

00:35:46.020 I love it, the people who believe the 4chan rumors 0.98

00:35:49.180 about my pandemic opinions.

00:35:51.760 You guys are so lost.

00:35:53.760 You actually believe the opposite of my opinion

00:35:56.260 and then went off imagining that you heard something real?

00:36:06.500 All right.

00:36:08.000 Why is it that the news is not covering the excess deaths?

00:36:13.100 Have you ever thought about that?

00:36:14.400 I don't see Fox News covering it

00:36:17.460 or Breitbart or CNN?

00:36:20.800 So one of the things I tell you is

00:36:26.100 you should ignore the news, the political news,

00:36:29.880 if it's only reported to be true by one side.

00:36:32.980 But if both sides are ignoring it and if it's true,

00:36:39.480 it's the biggest story in the country, wouldn't you agree?

00:36:42.440 If it's true that the excess deaths are big and unexplained,

00:36:46.600 it's the biggest story in the country.

00:36:49.480 So you're telling me that neither the left nor the right

00:36:52.220 is reporting the biggest story in the country,

00:36:54.320 but yet it's true.

00:36:55.840 There's nobody who has a political incentive

00:36:59.560 to report that correctly.

00:37:01.760 Nobody?

00:37:02.800 Not the left and not the right?

00:37:05.320 See, that's the part that's a problem for me.

00:37:09.240 If you look on Twitter, it's all over the place.

00:37:11.560 There's tons of very credible-looking claims

00:37:16.740 about excess deaths on Twitter.

00:37:18.720 But it's not in the news.

00:37:21.660 And generally speaking, you would expect

00:37:25.240 that at least the right would have some advantage

00:37:28.760 in at least putting it out there.

00:37:34.100 They can't because pharma sponsors them.

00:37:39.660 That's not a bad theory.

00:37:41.560 Yeah, that's not a bad theory.

00:37:44.800 That it is the biggest story in the world

00:37:46.520 and that our news organizations

00:37:47.960 literally won't cover it because of pharma.

00:37:52.580 I buy that.

00:37:54.840 That explanation is sufficient.

00:37:59.720 But I'm going to still say that we don't know

00:38:01.760 because I don't trust Internet data.

00:38:06.120 I don't rule it out.

00:38:07.800 Not at all.

00:38:08.640 So there's no skepticism in terms of saying

00:38:11.540 that it probably isn't correct.

00:38:15.100 Because I think there are too many reasons

00:38:16.820 why it might be high.

00:38:18.100 There's just lots of reasons.

00:38:19.660 It would be surprising if it's not high.

00:38:22.560 It's just putting a specific reason for it

00:38:27.080 on this a little harder.

00:38:27.820 All right.

00:38:41.100 Jamie Foxx.

00:38:43.560 All right, let me say this about Jamie Foxx.

00:38:46.140 I think I said this maybe on the man cave.

00:38:48.480 The Jamie Foxx story, which if you haven't heard it,

00:38:50.920 he had some kind of major health problem,

00:38:52.820 but the family is not revealing the nature of it.

00:38:57.880 So this allows all the vaccine skeptics to say,

00:39:02.340 oh, it was a vaccination and it's vax injury

00:39:04.700 and that's why they're not talking about it.

00:39:07.160 But other people say it definitely was not that.

00:39:10.280 There's no evidence of that.

00:39:11.720 Whatever it is, it's something else.

00:39:13.420 And here's what you should learn from that story.

00:39:20.300 It has nothing to do with Jamie Foxx.

00:39:23.080 Jamie Foxx is the least important part of the story.

00:39:26.900 He's simply a mechanism that people are using

00:39:30.340 to sell their political opinion.

00:39:33.240 So the anti-vaxxers use them to sell their anti-vax opinion.

00:39:37.760 The other people either ignore it or say it's not true

00:39:41.020 because that's their political opinion.

00:39:43.520 But none of this is about Jamie Foxx.

00:39:46.480 He's actually unimportant to the story.

00:39:49.080 The story is just people using it

00:39:50.980 to sell their version of events.

00:39:54.220 Now, you know that's the same thing that happened to me.

00:39:57.180 When I got canceled,

00:39:59.240 how many people in America do you think care about my opinion?

00:40:01.940 I mean, really.

00:40:05.100 How many people care about my opinion?

00:40:06.840 Maybe a few people will follow me.

00:40:11.120 That's about it.

00:40:12.600 But when I got canceled,

00:40:14.820 it had nothing to do with what I said or what my opinion was.

00:40:17.940 You know that, right?

00:40:19.400 It wasn't about me,

00:40:21.480 which is one reason I don't take it personally,

00:40:24.480 because it wasn't about me.

00:40:26.040 It was about people taking an opportunity

00:40:28.060 to sell their version of events,

00:40:30.340 which is that anybody who ever supported Trump 0.96

00:40:33.100 must be a white supremacist. 0.93

00:40:35.100 That's all it was about.

00:40:37.480 It had nothing to do with what I said.

00:40:39.440 It was just an opportunity.

00:40:41.140 And it's an opportunity to take somebody off the field.

00:40:48.100 You weren't even close to being canceled?

00:40:50.260 Well, I was canceled worldwide,

00:40:52.420 so I was economically canceled.

00:40:57.340 Steph, poor Steph. 0.98

00:40:59.480 So there's still people on the YouTube

00:41:01.060 who believe that I was pro-vaccination and pro-mask,

00:41:06.200 because they got fooled by a Reddit

00:41:09.080 and a 4chan hoax.

00:41:14.520 Sorry about that.

00:41:19.440 Yeah, J.P. Morgan settled on some kind of Epstein stuff,

00:41:23.280 but I don't think that means anything

00:41:24.780 or we know anything about it.

00:41:26.060 Do you believe there was a pandemic?

00:41:31.060 That's a word-thinking question.

00:41:34.380 I don't do word-thinking.

00:41:38.600 Will you attend and speak during the Musk-Soros spaces?

00:41:43.020 Well, I'll tell you what.

00:41:45.560 I would be surprised if Elon Musk

00:41:49.040 ever makes any move that would show

00:41:56.660 that he knows I exist.

00:42:00.900 Because I think my reputation is too toxic right now.

00:42:04.580 So I think if I volunteered to talk

00:42:06.760 in the Alex Soros...

00:42:09.160 Let's say it happens.

00:42:10.980 It's not scheduled.

00:42:13.360 But if it happened,

00:42:14.560 and if I volunteered to talk,

00:42:16.600 I believe I would not be selected.

00:42:18.640 Because if you're Elon Musk,

00:42:22.800 do you want the news to be,

00:42:24.900 Elon Musk runs a right-wing spaces?

00:42:29.700 Here's a quote from that accused racist guy.

00:42:34.360 It's just a problem.

00:42:35.860 It's a problem he doesn't need.

00:42:37.600 And by the way,

00:42:39.420 whatever he may or may not think about me personally,

00:42:42.700 probably isn't that important.

00:42:45.040 I mean, he does have to manage reputations

00:42:48.520 and companies and stuff.

00:42:49.940 So I don't mind.

00:42:50.940 I would have no problem with anybody

00:42:53.180 in a professional sense

00:42:55.840 who wanted to keep a distance from me.

00:43:00.220 On a personal level,

00:43:01.820 then I would judge quite harshly.

00:43:04.500 Like I said, I did have one friend,

00:43:06.580 only one,

00:43:08.220 who said it'd be better

00:43:09.880 to keep a distance from you.

00:43:11.600 Now, that's, you know,

00:43:14.880 you're never my friend again.

00:43:16.400 That was the end of a very long,

00:43:19.040 you know, friendship.

00:43:22.120 And it's permanently done.

00:43:23.500 There's no coming back from that.

00:43:25.920 I'm permanently done.

00:43:28.040 But only once.

00:43:29.400 Everybody else either just stayed away

00:43:31.000 or didn't say anything.

00:43:36.080 Have you watched the numerous black YouTubers 1.00

00:43:38.560 that have amplified your cancellation clip?

00:43:41.600 Well, I do know that black Americans,

00:43:46.080 specifically black men,

00:43:48.980 did not have much of a problem

00:43:50.560 with what I said

00:43:51.420 after they found out what was behind it

00:43:54.060 and, you know, what was the background.

00:43:55.560 The first impressions were the same for everybody.

00:43:58.320 But I would say black men

00:43:59.740 didn't have any special problem with it.

00:44:02.380 Because once you understand it,

00:44:04.620 you know it's advice that applies

00:44:06.440 bi-directionally.

00:44:08.460 And I'll use this example again. 0.78

00:44:13.140 If you were a black American family

00:44:15.320 and you were looking to move into a new community

00:44:17.520 and you looked at one that had a KKK headquarters,

00:44:22.280 but you figured most of the people there would be fine,

00:44:25.780 most of them are probably not racist,

00:44:27.900 but they do have a KKK headquarters

00:44:29.840 right in that little town,

00:44:30.840 I would recommend you don't move there.

00:44:34.340 Would anybody disagree with that?

00:44:37.220 You should stay away from them.

00:44:40.000 So if you have reason to believe

00:44:42.380 there's a group of people who have been,

00:44:44.620 let's say, trained to not like you,

00:44:48.060 actually trained to not like you,

00:44:50.620 you should stay away.

00:44:51.460 And that's what the ESG and the DEI and the CRT do. 0.98

00:44:55.600 They train black Americans 1.00

00:44:57.520 to have a negative opinion about white Americans. 0.98

00:45:01.680 And you should stay away from any population group, 1.00

00:45:04.440 if you can,

00:45:06.200 that would have a higher disregard for you.

00:45:10.300 Because it's a free country.

00:45:11.700 You could go where people mostly like you

00:45:14.100 or don't care one way or the other.

00:45:16.320 So the advice that I give is the same for any race

00:45:21.820 and gender, too.

00:45:24.900 I would say if you're a woman

00:45:26.300 and you had a choice of moving into a place

00:45:29.060 where you knew there was a bunch of anti-woman people, 1.00

00:45:33.880 don't go there.

00:45:35.060 Find a place where that doesn't exist.

00:45:38.260 If you're LGBTQ and you have a choice of where to live,

00:45:43.160 I wouldn't go where there's negative opinion about me.

00:45:46.760 Why would you?

00:45:48.280 I would go where you can find the highest opinion,

00:45:51.400 which might be some very blue place.

00:45:56.080 But that's what I'd do.

00:45:57.200 I'd stay away from the haters.

00:45:59.140 There are some people who say,

00:46:00.600 but Scott,

00:46:01.660 if you don't make an effort

00:46:04.520 to make sure that you're interacting with everybody,

00:46:08.840 things will become segregated,

00:46:10.620 even if you didn't want that.

00:46:12.100 And that has all kinds of costs.

00:46:14.380 To which I say,

00:46:16.760 if you're talking about individuals,

00:46:19.400 of course.

00:46:21.700 I've never recommended that you discriminate

00:46:23.560 against an individual.

00:46:26.060 Right? 0.90

00:46:26.600 If an individual black guy comes in for a job interview, 0.60

00:46:30.380 you should absolutely look at them as an individual 0.81

00:46:32.840 and forget everything else.

00:46:34.980 I've never said differently.

00:46:37.440 Same with your personal relationships.

00:46:40.060 If you fall in love with somebody who's a different race, 0.93

00:46:43.300 it's not my business.

00:46:45.920 And everybody's fine with that.

00:46:47.520 Just go ahead and do it.

00:46:50.340 But if you're talking about a population group,

00:46:54.140 you can make a safety decision based on the group.

00:46:58.900 Because it's not discriminated against an individual.

00:47:02.480 And there's nothing illegal about that.

00:47:05.220 There's no constitutional rule

00:47:07.640 that says you can't make a safety decision about yourself.

00:47:10.540 It's completely legal.

00:47:14.460 And the reason it's completely legal

00:47:16.060 is that there's no way it could be illegal.

00:47:18.660 You couldn't run a society

00:47:20.060 where you're managing people's risks

00:47:21.960 without them managing it.

00:47:24.260 People have to manage their own risks.

00:47:25.820 All right.

00:47:32.440 And by the way,

00:47:33.980 the reason that it doesn't make sense

00:47:35.940 to discriminate against any individual

00:47:38.400 for their immutable characteristics

00:47:41.740 is that it's not good for the system.

00:47:45.160 It's not good for the person

00:47:46.320 you were bigoted against.

00:47:49.140 But it doesn't help you either.

00:47:51.480 It literally doesn't help anybody.

00:47:53.480 Because it just cuts you off

00:47:54.760 from 90% of the world.

00:47:57.380 So you would be cutting yourself off

00:47:59.380 from the talent and beauty

00:48:01.500 of 90% of the world.

00:48:03.320 So it's not good for you.

00:48:04.760 It's not good for the person

00:48:05.680 you discriminated against.

00:48:06.920 It's not good for the system

00:48:08.060 that you both live in.

00:48:10.320 I've never supported that.

00:48:12.780 So most of my critics imagine

00:48:15.520 that's what I meant,

00:48:16.600 discriminating against individuals.

00:48:18.720 I would never discriminate 0.99

00:48:19.600 against an individual.

00:48:21.240 That makes no sense on any level.

00:48:24.760 All right.

00:48:29.380 So,

00:48:30.900 um,

00:48:33.640 did you hear about the guy

00:48:39.480 at a festival

00:48:39.920 who warned the cashier

00:48:41.080 that the car had him

00:48:41.940 had a Trump bumper sticker?

00:48:44.280 I did.

00:48:44.820 And that's another example

00:48:46.520 of haunting Republicans.

00:48:49.120 Yeah,

00:48:49.300 the story was

00:48:50.100 that somebody

00:48:51.620 at a drive-thru

00:48:52.860 must have called,

00:48:54.640 I think they probably called

00:48:55.720 the restaurant

00:48:57.240 and said,

00:48:57.860 the car ahead of me

00:48:58.680 has a Trump bumper sticker.

00:49:01.220 Now,

00:49:01.540 I think the idea was

00:49:02.600 to treat them differently.

00:49:04.440 Like,

00:49:04.880 refuse service

00:49:05.940 or spend their food

00:49:07.120 or something.

00:49:07.600 that was pretty shocking.

00:49:19.480 It was a drive-up.

00:49:21.000 Oh,

00:49:21.200 a drive-up,

00:49:21.680 yeah.

00:49:22.420 Drive-up

00:49:22.980 or drive-thru?

00:49:30.220 Uh,

00:49:32.260 I saw,

00:49:32.840 yeah,

00:49:33.420 I saw a mouse

00:49:34.060 with a pencil.

00:49:35.140 I saw that video.

00:49:36.180 They sent it

00:49:40.820 through the speaker?

00:49:41.820 Oh,

00:49:42.040 okay.

00:49:46.880 Um,

00:49:47.760 yeah,

00:49:50.180 then I guess

00:49:50.780 the woman 0.98

00:49:51.400 who was told that

00:49:53.500 was not on board

00:49:55.200 with that at all.

00:49:56.700 So the good news

00:49:57.520 is that the restaurant

00:49:58.760 itself laughed it off

00:50:00.280 as not,

00:50:01.920 not reasonable.

00:50:04.160 So that's good.

00:50:06.180 Yeah,

00:50:08.240 Reddit is having

00:50:09.000 a big boycott today.

00:50:10.820 So I guess

00:50:11.120 the Reddit users

00:50:12.320 are mad

00:50:13.700 because a lot

00:50:14.780 of the apps

00:50:15.380 are being taken

00:50:16.400 off of Reddit,

00:50:18.740 the apps

00:50:19.360 that work with it,

00:50:20.220 because the API

00:50:21.740 price went too high

00:50:22.620 so the apps

00:50:23.060 can't afford it.

00:50:24.540 Now the,

00:50:25.320 the volunteer mods

00:50:27.100 are all

00:50:27.580 up in arms.

00:50:28.600 what do you,

00:50:33.920 what do you think

00:50:34.600 of the,

00:50:35.100 uh,

00:50:35.920 criticism

00:50:36.360 from the right

00:50:37.780 that pride

00:50:39.560 is the wrong

00:50:40.560 approach

00:50:41.740 because,

00:50:44.500 first of all,

00:50:44.760 pride is literally,

00:50:45.620 you know,

00:50:47.360 um,

00:50:47.700 discouraged.

00:50:49.460 You know,

00:50:50.080 on religious grounds,

00:50:51.280 pride is discouraged.

00:50:52.660 But that's,

00:50:53.180 you know,

00:50:53.320 a specific religious,

00:50:54.460 uh,

00:50:55.560 point of view.

00:50:56.080 But do you think

00:50:58.080 that pride

00:50:58.640 still makes sense

00:50:59.720 for the LGBTQ

00:51:00.940 community?

00:51:04.940 Don't you think

00:51:05.720 they need less pride?

00:51:09.120 Don't you think

00:51:09.820 they have too much?

00:51:11.980 Now when I say

00:51:12.740 less pride,

00:51:13.920 I don't mean about

00:51:14.640 their choice

00:51:15.480 of gender

00:51:16.080 or sexuality

00:51:16.880 because that doesn't

00:51:18.900 require any pride

00:51:19.760 at all.

00:51:20.980 It just simply is.

00:51:23.220 So,

00:51:23.620 you know,

00:51:23.820 I'm not,

00:51:24.160 I'm not proud

00:51:25.100 of being bold.

00:51:25.900 I just am.

00:51:27.720 I just am.

00:51:30.040 I don't have

00:51:30.940 any pride

00:51:31.340 about it at all.

00:51:32.260 I just am.

00:51:34.540 So,

00:51:35.680 that's the same,

00:51:36.380 same way I feel

00:51:37.160 about the LGBT

00:51:38.040 community,

00:51:39.200 which is,

00:51:40.280 if you tell me

00:51:41.020 you just want

00:51:41.780 to exist

00:51:42.300 and live,

00:51:43.820 I say,

00:51:44.420 excellent.

00:51:45.540 Same page.

00:51:46.580 Let's all just

00:51:47.140 exist and live

00:51:48.100 and be good

00:51:49.260 to each other.

00:51:50.400 How about that?

00:51:51.480 But as soon

00:51:51.940 as you come in

00:51:52.600 and tell me

00:51:53.020 that you got

00:51:53.520 pride about

00:51:54.380 your thing,

00:51:54.840 then what

00:51:56.960 do I say?

00:51:58.020 Well,

00:51:58.200 like,

00:51:58.380 what's my

00:51:58.720 automatic reaction

00:52:00.080 to the fact

00:52:01.360 that you have

00:52:01.760 pride about

00:52:02.320 your thing

00:52:02.780 that's different

00:52:03.280 than my thing?

00:52:05.460 What's wrong

00:52:06.000 with my thing?

00:52:07.660 Like,

00:52:08.040 why are you

00:52:08.480 pride?

00:52:09.380 Why are you

00:52:09.900 proud?

00:52:10.300 But if I said

00:52:10.860 I were proud,

00:52:11.620 I would be

00:52:12.720 canceled.

00:52:14.180 Do you think

00:52:14.620 you could get

00:52:15.680 away with saying

00:52:16.240 you were proud

00:52:16.760 to be

00:52:17.260 straight and

00:52:18.680 white?

00:52:18.920 I have

00:52:21.760 straight white

00:52:22.680 pride.

00:52:23.920 No,

00:52:24.260 you would be

00:52:24.640 called a 0.67

00:52:25.020 white supremacist. 0.72

00:52:27.920 A white 1.00

00:52:28.400 supremacist. 0.96

00:52:30.540 Right?

00:52:30.720 You can't

00:52:31.080 have pride.

00:52:32.400 So I think

00:52:33.140 that LGBTQ

00:52:34.280 should be 0.98

00:52:35.440 condemned for

00:52:36.440 having pride

00:52:37.320 because it's

00:52:38.480 very discriminatory.

00:52:40.380 If everybody

00:52:41.280 else can have

00:52:41.900 pride and

00:52:43.860 say it out

00:52:44.340 loud,

00:52:44.800 then I don't

00:52:45.280 think anybody

00:52:45.780 should be able

00:52:46.240 to do it.

00:52:46.640 to me

00:52:50.560 it's an

00:52:50.900 insult.

00:52:52.660 It does

00:52:54.160 come off as

00:52:55.060 we're a little

00:52:55.840 bit superior

00:52:56.480 and we're

00:52:57.080 proud of it.

00:52:59.500 That's how

00:53:00.120 it comes

00:53:00.440 off.

00:53:01.260 That doesn't

00:53:01.860 mean that's

00:53:02.260 how they

00:53:02.580 mean it.

00:53:04.020 I'm not

00:53:04.380 saying that.

00:53:05.340 How people

00:53:05.880 mean something

00:53:06.680 can be

00:53:07.500 completely

00:53:07.900 different from

00:53:08.460 how it's

00:53:08.760 received.

00:53:09.860 And the

00:53:10.060 whole point

00:53:10.540 of Pride

00:53:10.940 Month is

00:53:11.700 not to

00:53:12.120 change the

00:53:12.720 opinion of

00:53:13.480 the LGBTQ,

00:53:15.560 is it?

00:53:15.880 Well,

00:53:16.080 maybe it

00:53:16.380 is.

00:53:17.160 Maybe it

00:53:17.600 is.

00:53:18.620 Maybe it

00:53:19.300 is a

00:53:19.580 little

00:53:19.700 self-referential.

00:53:22.120 Actually,

00:53:22.720 I'm modifying

00:53:23.200 my opinion

00:53:23.840 as I think

00:53:25.040 about it.

00:53:25.820 If the

00:53:26.480 Pride is

00:53:27.000 meant to

00:53:27.400 be self-referential,

00:53:29.180 meaning they're

00:53:29.660 talking to

00:53:30.140 each other,

00:53:31.780 that's fine.

00:53:33.640 It just

00:53:34.200 shouldn't be

00:53:34.580 my business

00:53:35.180 that they're

00:53:35.860 proud or

00:53:36.640 not proud.

00:53:37.180 I just

00:53:38.540 don't want

00:53:38.840 to be

00:53:38.980 involved in

00:53:39.720 that or

00:53:41.980 any of

00:53:42.860 it.

00:53:43.820 I don't

00:53:44.320 want them

00:53:44.600 changing my

00:53:45.220 opinion.

00:53:45.540 But if

00:53:47.180 they want

00:53:47.440 to change

00:53:47.780 their own

00:53:48.140 opinion,

00:53:48.580 then they're

00:53:49.100 all in on

00:53:49.640 it and

00:53:49.880 they want

00:53:50.120 to feel

00:53:50.380 better about

00:53:50.960 it.

00:53:51.920 And Pride

00:53:52.440 is a word

00:53:52.980 that makes

00:53:54.320 somebody who

00:53:54.960 might feel,

00:53:55.920 let's say,

00:53:57.000 makes somebody

00:53:57.540 uncomfortable

00:53:58.380 in their

00:53:59.820 preferences.

00:54:01.940 maybe it

00:54:03.360 makes them

00:54:03.680 more comfortable.

00:54:05.020 So if

00:54:05.300 that's the

00:54:05.900 purpose of

00:54:06.340 it, then

00:54:06.600 that would

00:54:06.820 be good.

00:54:07.860 Make people

00:54:08.400 comfortable in

00:54:09.140 their own

00:54:09.440 skin.

00:54:10.400 But if

00:54:10.680 you're trying

00:54:10.980 to convince

00:54:11.480 me, not

00:54:13.960 the right

00:54:14.300 word.

00:54:15.740 Not the

00:54:16.080 right word.

00:54:16.540 You had

00:54:17.440 me at

00:54:18.040 freedom,

00:54:19.860 right?

00:54:20.800 Do you live

00:54:21.380 in a free

00:54:21.720 country?

00:54:22.320 Yes.

00:54:24.860 Is there

00:54:25.420 anything else

00:54:25.820 to talk

00:54:26.160 about?

00:54:27.000 No.

00:54:28.480 Are we

00:54:28.900 good?

00:54:29.800 Absolutely.

00:54:31.180 Totally good.

00:54:31.940 Do I have

00:54:33.140 to defend

00:54:33.680 myself and

00:54:34.400 tell you I'm

00:54:35.020 proud?

00:54:35.560 Nope.

00:54:36.820 Nope.

00:54:37.620 You're 100%

00:54:38.480 with me.

00:54:39.420 There's

00:54:39.720 nothing to

00:54:40.220 discuss.

00:54:41.420 But I'm

00:54:42.100 proud.

00:54:42.720 You don't

00:54:43.020 need to be.

00:54:45.540 It's more

00:54:46.260 than you

00:54:46.560 need.

00:54:47.580 You already

00:54:48.560 won.

00:54:49.360 Stop

00:54:49.660 selling past

00:54:50.340 the close.

00:54:51.700 Oh, that's

00:54:52.380 what it is.

00:54:53.880 That's what

00:54:54.520 it is.

00:54:54.780 I just

00:54:55.080 figured out

00:54:55.540 what it

00:54:55.840 was that

00:54:56.160 was bothering

00:54:56.660 me.

00:54:57.500 It's

00:54:57.820 selling past

00:54:58.460 the close.

00:55:00.620 Now,

00:55:01.140 I get

00:55:02.340 that not

00:55:02.760 everybody's

00:55:03.320 closed,

00:55:04.700 right?

00:55:05.020 So they

00:55:05.420 probably need

00:55:06.120 to convince

00:55:06.600 some people

00:55:07.420 who are

00:55:07.720 not me.

00:55:08.720 But if

00:55:10.020 I'm already

00:55:10.680 sold on

00:55:12.380 your complete

00:55:13.780 value as

00:55:14.960 a human

00:55:15.380 being and

00:55:16.100 your complete

00:55:16.720 freedom to

00:55:17.300 do what you

00:55:17.660 want,

00:55:18.620 then if you

00:55:19.620 keep selling

00:55:20.240 me, I'm

00:55:21.680 going to get

00:55:22.020 uncomfortable.

00:55:24.140 I might even

00:55:24.940 change my mind

00:55:25.780 if you sell

00:55:26.940 me too hard.

00:55:28.440 So that's what

00:55:28.920 it feels a

00:55:29.340 little bit

00:55:29.600 like.

00:55:30.420 But part

00:55:31.320 of the

00:55:31.500 problem is

00:55:31.860 that I'm

00:55:33.100 just one

00:55:33.520 person and

00:55:35.300 they're talking

00:55:35.920 to the

00:55:36.480 world.

00:55:37.960 So my

00:55:38.780 personal

00:55:39.700 impression of

00:55:40.420 it probably

00:55:41.640 shouldn't change

00:55:42.220 their strategy,

00:55:43.280 but that's my

00:55:43.840 impression of

00:55:44.380 it.

00:55:47.480 All right.

00:55:48.320 Yeah, coming

00:55:48.800 after the kids

00:55:49.460 is a separate

00:55:50.320 conversation.

00:55:52.660 How many

00:55:56.160 of you think

00:55:56.720 that there

00:55:57.180 really is a

00:55:57.980 long-term

00:55:58.640 plan among

00:55:59.740 the Democrats

00:56:00.460 to normalize

00:56:02.400 I don't even

00:56:04.100 want to use

00:56:04.460 the words.

00:56:05.340 Nah, never

00:56:05.900 mind.

00:56:06.380 I don't like

00:56:06.820 the topic.

00:56:08.820 You're going

00:56:09.140 to forget

00:56:09.400 that topic.

00:56:12.080 Ben Franklin

00:56:12.960 was proud of

00:56:13.800 his humility.

00:56:15.520 If you're

00:56:16.240 proud of your

00:56:16.860 humility, I

00:56:18.340 assume that was

00:56:18.940 your joke,

00:56:19.460 right?

00:56:20.080 That you can't

00:56:20.600 be proud of

00:56:21.080 your humility.

00:56:22.660 I'm kind of

00:56:26.000 proud of my

00:56:26.460 gluttony.

00:56:33.140 All right.

00:56:34.660 Yeah, the

00:56:35.260 proud boys

00:56:36.360 didn't do so

00:56:37.020 well, did

00:56:37.420 they?

00:56:42.180 Humility is

00:56:42.960 a social

00:56:43.800 media-driven,

00:56:44.800 yeah.

00:56:52.660 long-term

00:56:56.640 goal to

00:56:57.040 make it

00:56:57.340 acceptable?

00:57:01.060 Certainly by

00:57:01.780 some.

00:57:08.180 Did you

00:57:08.760 see the

00:57:09.120 story about

00:57:09.720 Megan Fox

00:57:11.200 and two

00:57:17.220 of her

00:57:17.540 boys that

00:57:18.220 she dresses 0.67

00:57:18.820 in girls'

00:57:19.940 clothing,

00:57:20.660 allegedly?

00:57:21.100 and

00:57:23.340 allegedly

00:57:24.900 the boys

00:57:26.220 don't think

00:57:26.820 that they're

00:57:27.140 girls, 0.91

00:57:28.160 but the

00:57:29.100 mother believes

00:57:29.720 that they

00:57:30.040 are?

00:57:31.880 That's the

00:57:32.500 way it's

00:57:32.760 being portrayed

00:57:34.060 on social

00:57:34.800 media,

00:57:35.500 but that

00:57:36.360 doesn't sound

00:57:36.940 right.

00:57:37.940 Do you

00:57:38.500 believe that

00:57:38.980 story is

00:57:39.540 true?

00:57:40.740 I don't know.

00:57:42.600 There's

00:57:43.060 something wrong

00:57:43.700 with this

00:57:44.040 story,

00:57:44.660 so I'm

00:57:44.980 just going

00:57:45.300 to say we

00:57:45.640 don't know

00:57:46.000 what's going

00:57:46.360 on.

00:57:46.600 If there's

00:57:47.480 one thing

00:57:48.580 I can

00:57:48.880 teach you

00:57:49.340 is that

00:57:50.620 all initial

00:57:51.520 stories about

00:57:52.300 public figures

00:57:53.040 are false.

00:57:54.800 Yeah,

00:57:54.980 so Robbie

00:57:55.460 Starbucks,

00:57:56.120 I guess,

00:57:56.440 lived in her

00:57:57.000 neighborhood at

00:57:57.620 some point

00:57:58.140 and used

00:57:59.560 to see her

00:58:00.000 kids at

00:58:00.380 the park

00:58:00.760 with his

00:58:01.160 kids.

00:58:02.800 So I'm

00:58:04.240 going to

00:58:04.440 say that

00:58:05.460 all stories

00:58:07.400 about public

00:58:08.040 figures are

00:58:08.900 false,

00:58:10.380 at least

00:58:10.800 at first.

00:58:11.840 They all

00:58:12.240 are.

00:58:13.000 So I'd

00:58:13.400 say you

00:58:13.640 don't know

00:58:13.940 anything

00:58:14.180 about

00:58:14.440 that.

00:58:16.740 Yeah,

00:58:17.260 there's a

00:58:17.600 report that

00:58:18.260 she said

00:58:18.640 the kid

00:58:18.960 was non-binary

00:58:19.860 when in

00:58:20.900 the womb.

00:58:22.080 Do you

00:58:22.520 believe that?

00:58:23.940 I don't

00:58:24.520 believe that.

00:58:25.360 I mean,

00:58:25.540 that's the

00:58:25.940 story,

00:58:26.460 but I

00:58:26.800 don't

00:58:26.940 believe it.

00:58:28.740 And if

00:58:29.300 she said

00:58:29.720 it,

00:58:29.900 I don't

00:58:30.140 think she

00:58:30.500 meant it

00:58:31.120 as a

00:58:33.160 literal.

00:58:34.880 So I

00:58:36.080 would caution

00:58:36.760 you not to

00:58:37.400 believe anything

00:58:38.000 about that

00:58:38.520 story.

00:58:41.180 Maybe if

00:58:41.920 you saw the

00:58:42.440 kids themselves

00:58:43.280 talking about

00:58:44.280 it,

00:58:44.460 you could

00:58:44.680 believe that,

00:58:45.480 but you're

00:58:45.780 not.

00:58:47.020 So I

00:58:47.520 would just

00:58:48.760 let that

00:58:49.200 one go,

00:58:50.200 because I

00:58:50.620 just don't

00:58:50.960 think there's

00:58:51.380 enough

00:58:51.720 credibility in

00:58:53.340 any of

00:58:53.660 that.

00:59:05.600 What?

00:59:11.080 You believe

00:59:11.780 she said

00:59:12.160 that?

00:59:12.360 No, I'm

00:59:13.060 not saying

00:59:13.440 she didn't

00:59:13.880 say it.

00:59:15.480 I'm not

00:59:16.180 saying she

00:59:16.600 didn't say

00:59:17.140 it.

00:59:18.460 I'm saying

00:59:19.160 it might

00:59:19.520 have been

00:59:19.740 sort of a

00:59:20.660 Hollywood

00:59:21.000 thing to

00:59:21.580 say.

00:59:22.860 You know

00:59:23.260 what I

00:59:23.460 mean?

00:59:24.140 That's like

00:59:24.820 a recreational

00:59:25.900 opinion.

00:59:27.260 That doesn't

00:59:28.040 sound like a

00:59:28.560 serious opinion.

00:59:30.180 That sounds

00:59:30.620 like a

00:59:31.000 recreational

00:59:31.560 opinion.

00:59:33.120 She wants 0.85

00:59:33.780 to, you

00:59:34.700 know, maybe

00:59:35.280 making the

00:59:35.920 point that she

00:59:36.540 thinks these

00:59:37.080 things are

00:59:37.760 determined at

00:59:39.400 birth.

00:59:39.680 I mean, it

00:59:40.860 might have

00:59:41.080 been just

00:59:41.400 some bad

00:59:42.120 way to

00:59:42.400 make a

00:59:42.700 point.

00:59:45.340 She's not

00:59:45.960 going to

00:59:46.220 date you?

00:59:47.660 Do you

00:59:47.960 think I

00:59:48.320 would want

00:59:48.720 to date

00:59:49.100 Megan Fox?

00:59:50.260 like in

00:59:53.020 the real

00:59:53.320 world?

00:59:54.460 If she

00:59:55.080 offered it,

00:59:55.960 do you

00:59:56.280 think I

00:59:56.600 would take

00:59:56.960 it?

00:59:57.780 No, I

00:59:58.180 wouldn't.

00:59:59.500 Believe it

01:00:00.140 or not, I

01:00:00.560 wouldn't.

01:00:01.120 I know

01:00:01.520 that's hard

01:00:01.920 to believe.

01:00:03.660 I promise

01:00:04.560 you, she 0.99

01:00:06.020 is beyond 0.90

01:00:06.720 my crazy

01:00:07.880 limit.

01:00:08.800 I do

01:00:09.160 have a

01:00:09.520 limit.

01:00:11.180 I absolutely

01:00:12.100 have a limit

01:00:12.780 of how much

01:00:13.360 crazy I'm

01:00:14.060 willing to

01:00:14.400 take.

01:00:14.680 She's well

01:00:15.080 beyond that.

01:00:16.900 No, she 0.79

01:00:17.300 could not

01:00:17.760 possibly be

01:00:18.520 worth it.

01:00:20.260 Now, I

01:00:20.700 know what

01:00:20.920 you're

01:00:21.020 saying.

01:00:21.560 Oh, boy,

01:00:22.180 she's so

01:00:22.740 attractive.

01:00:23.440 And yes,

01:00:23.800 she is.

01:00:24.820 She's 0.94

01:00:25.200 insanely

01:00:25.580 attractive.

01:00:26.520 But can

01:00:27.100 you imagine

01:00:27.900 what comes

01:00:29.760 with that

01:00:30.240 package?

01:00:31.480 Can you

01:00:31.900 even imagine

01:00:32.760 what comes

01:00:33.260 along with

01:00:33.800 that?

01:00:35.080 I mean,

01:00:36.200 no.

01:00:37.140 I'm sorry,

01:00:37.840 she would

01:00:38.140 not be in

01:00:38.680 my top

01:00:39.760 million list.

01:00:42.940 But she

01:00:43.660 is unambiguously

01:00:44.740 beautiful.

01:00:50.260 All right.

01:00:55.280 That's all

01:00:55.780 I got for

01:00:56.820 YouTube.
