Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2156 Scott Adams： The News Is Weird And I'm Here For It. Grab Some Coffee And Get In Here

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

00:00:10.260 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and boy, you're lucky that you chanced upon it today.

00:00:15.860 Your day is looking good, your weekend, your whole month, I think, is looking really good.

00:00:21.420 And if you'd like to take it up to levels that no one's ever imagined could be possible,

00:00:25.640 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a canteen, jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:32.280 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:35.740 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:39.360 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:41.320 It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go.

00:00:50.900 Well, you're going to be hot inside and out today if you're in most of the United States.

00:00:55.640 It's going to be over 100 where I am, and I'm looking forward to it.

00:01:02.060 It's time to get wet.

00:01:04.140 All right, let's talk about all the fun things in the news.

00:01:07.600 Here's a little observation I made.

00:01:10.940 I'm sure I remember when I was younger that when people talked about things,

00:01:17.320 they would often talk about things they liked.

00:01:21.920 Right?

00:01:23.140 They'd say, I went on vacation. I liked it.

00:01:25.900 There's a new TV show. I love it.

00:01:28.520 There's a thing that happened. I went to the circus. It was great.

00:01:32.960 Do you remember those days?

00:01:35.020 And now what we talk about is things we don't do.

00:01:38.800 Oh, let me tell you.

00:01:41.020 I don't watch television.

00:01:43.240 No. No.

00:01:44.540 You do?

00:01:45.660 Oh, you watch television.

00:01:46.780 Oh, that's funny.

00:01:51.140 No reason.

00:01:51.820 No reason.

00:01:52.460 No reason.

00:01:53.200 No, but you watch television, right?

00:01:56.960 I gave up television a long time ago.

00:01:59.560 I'm superior to you in so many ways.

00:02:04.060 The television is just one.

00:02:05.860 It's just one of the many ways I'm superior to you because you don't watch television.

00:02:12.000 And we also do, I don't drink Bud Light.

00:02:14.440 I don't shop at Target.

00:02:15.680 I don't watch CNN.

00:02:17.080 I don't watch Foxes.

00:02:18.540 We're defining ourselves by what we don't do.

00:02:22.820 Am I wrong that that's new?

00:02:25.160 It's kind of different.

00:02:26.460 You used to define yourself by what you did.

00:02:29.380 For example, I used to say I was a tennis player.

00:02:31.800 Now I say I don't watch MSNBC.

00:02:38.920 I've just defined myself by what I'm unwilling to do.

00:02:43.760 All right.

00:02:44.980 That's not a good sign, probably.

00:02:47.820 Now, here's a story that you knew was coming.

00:02:53.260 Talk about the most predictable thing you could possibly predict.

00:02:58.140 But gyms and fitness centers are now embracing fatness.

00:03:05.240 So instead of getting you to look trim and muscular and et cetera, that's out the door.

00:03:12.100 Now we're going to make you fat and happy.

00:03:14.620 So you can be as fat as you want.

00:03:16.200 But you need to be healthy.

00:03:18.280 So they're going to work on your mental health and your strength.

00:03:22.940 And your weight will be de-emphasized.

00:03:25.320 So it's not about the shedding pounds anymore.

00:03:28.140 So the fatness will replace the fitness.

00:03:32.440 And you all saw it coming.

00:03:35.820 Is there anybody here who's on a dating site?

00:03:39.760 Is there anybody in the audience who's using a dating app of any kind?

00:03:44.140 I just want to ask you.

00:03:45.920 Dating app of any kind.

00:03:47.300 Okay, my audience is too old.

00:03:50.240 There's not a single person saying yes.

00:03:52.500 Or one.

00:03:52.980 All right.

00:03:55.280 I just want to leave you with this question.

00:04:00.220 Do the photos of the people on the dating app look about the same as they did before the pandemic?

00:04:06.420 Have you noticed anything different?

00:04:14.580 In the old days, you'd see a lot of pictures of people from, you know, you'd see their whole body.

00:04:19.380 And now the most common thing when people show their photo, in any sense, whether it's a profile picture or any place else, the photo's like this much.

00:04:31.420 People are only showing this much of their body now.

00:04:35.040 Hey, hey.

00:04:36.220 Don't ask about what's below this hand or above this hand.

00:04:40.920 It's just this part.

00:04:42.780 I'm trying to sell you on this part.

00:04:45.080 If I can get you sold on this part, maybe you won't ask as many questions about what's above the hand and below the hand.

00:04:52.080 So that's new.

00:04:52.980 I heard that Rome said that the Colosseum would be available if Zuckerberg and Musk want to fight in there, in the Colosseum.

00:05:08.640 To which I said, okay, there's no way you can make this story better, right?

00:05:13.960 When I first heard that Zuckerberg and Musk might actually fight, I said to myself, well, it can't get better.

00:05:23.060 I mean, this is the ultimate entertaining story.

00:05:25.300 There's no way you can make this better.

00:05:27.200 And then I imagined them doing it in the Colosseum.

00:05:30.520 Okay, that's better.

00:05:32.140 That is better.

00:05:33.780 I didn't think you could do it.

00:05:35.900 You know, honestly, I didn't think it was possible, but that's better.

00:05:38.880 And then I thought, if you're going to do it in the Colosseum, that's really only a little driving distance from the Vatican.

00:05:50.200 Guess who would be the best referee?

00:05:53.560 No, not Joe Rogan.

00:05:56.040 The Pope.

00:05:57.860 Could we get the Pope to referee the fight between Zuckerberg and Musk?

00:06:02.340 And no, I'm not kidding.

00:06:04.060 I'm not kidding.

00:06:06.020 We got all the way to...

00:06:07.780 Look, we started with no story, and we got all the way to Zuckerberg and Musk fighting in the Colosseum.

00:06:16.300 You didn't see that coming.

00:06:18.240 Which one of you predicted that?

00:06:19.940 None of you, right?

00:06:21.240 Can you admit you're not good at predicting the future?

00:06:24.200 All right.

00:06:24.840 Well, I say the Pope will be the referee for a fight that may or may not be naked between Musk and Zuckerberg in the Colosseum.

00:06:33.700 That's what I want, and I'm not willing to settle for anything less than that.

00:06:39.120 I don't want anything less than that.

00:06:41.060 That's my minimum bid.

00:06:43.100 All right.

00:06:43.400 I've got to show you this.

00:06:48.320 Did you happen to see the Trump Chris Christie tweet?

00:06:54.620 Well, it was a truth, not a tweet.

00:06:57.160 I've got to show you the picture, because without the picture, it doesn't work as well.

00:07:02.320 Give me one moment.

00:07:03.260 So there's a photograph of Chris Christie sleeping on a flight, and he wasn't looking too elegant.

00:07:13.900 Here's a little picture.

00:07:15.240 So Christie's just sort of, you know, slovenly spread out and crossed a seat and a half on the flight.

00:07:21.660 But the funny part is that Trump does a truth on it.

00:07:28.920 He's so funny.

00:07:31.600 He goes, Trump just titles it.

00:07:34.660 He says, resting after a good 25 minutes of work.

00:07:42.980 Now, here's why Trump is so funny.

00:07:45.260 He's completely, Trump is completely underrated as a humorist.

00:07:49.660 He's one of the funniest people in the world.

00:07:52.780 But because he has this other job, you know, you don't think about it.

00:07:56.700 But here's why this is funny.

00:07:58.780 It's resting after a good 25 minutes of work.

00:08:01.800 The thing that sells this is the word good.

00:08:04.760 If he said resting after 25 minutes of work, that's not really funny, is it?

00:08:10.900 Resting after 25 minutes of work.

00:08:13.580 It would just sort of lay there, wouldn't it?

00:08:15.980 But he puts the word good in there.

00:08:17.620 Resting after a good 25 minutes of work.

00:08:22.440 It was the addition of the word good that turned it from a sentence into a joke.

00:08:27.480 How many people would have known that?

00:08:30.080 How many people would have known that if you put that word good in there, it turns into funny?

00:08:36.820 He does have a skill.

00:08:38.400 It's a very special skill.

00:08:39.900 He's completely underrated for his writing ability as a writer.

00:08:44.120 I would say as a writer of tweets and truths, he's just one of the best.

00:08:51.580 So then Chris Christie thought he would dunk on Trump.

00:08:55.840 So after Trump does this perfect Trump tweet, I mean, it's perfectly in character.

00:09:02.240 It's also visual.

00:09:03.200 Remember, I always teach you that Trump is the master of visual persuasion.

00:09:08.760 When he talks about the wall, you can picture it in your mind, right?

00:09:13.360 It's a visual thing even if there's no picture.

00:09:16.040 Well, this is a total visual persuasion.

00:09:19.360 He doesn't need to tell you that Chris Christie has policies you won't like.

00:09:23.940 He can just show a picture of him looking like a slob on a plane.

00:09:26.620 You get the same benefit without all the thinking.

00:09:31.200 So Trump's excellent at that.

00:09:34.800 So Trump basically gives him a total kill shot.

00:09:39.480 But Chris Christie, he's not down and out yet.

00:09:42.600 He tweets Trump's truth.

00:09:45.480 So he's doing that thing where instead of minimizing it, you're embracing it, right?

00:09:51.420 So he's embracing it sort of like Dark Brandon, you know, Biden trying to embrace Dark Brandon.

00:09:59.620 So he tries to embrace it and he says, Chris Christie says of Trump, living rent-free in Donald's head.

00:10:07.560 Make me a permanent resident, you know, donate money, blah, blah, blah.

00:10:11.100 Living rent-free in Donald's head.

00:10:15.660 So I had to tweet about his tweet.

00:10:18.580 So I tweeted Chris Christie's tweet and I said, pro tip, never hire an NPC to do your tweeting.

00:10:25.140 You can test for NPCs by asking them if anyone is above the law.

00:10:31.080 Now, sort of an ongoing joke here.

00:10:35.400 So if that doesn't sound funny to you, it's because you don't know the background to it.

00:10:39.120 But can I give you this advice?

00:10:42.680 If you ever are tempted to say to somebody in 2023 that you're living rent-free in their head,

00:10:51.560 you have either fallen into some kind of a time dilation situation where you've traveled back in time

00:10:58.360 to where that made sense to say and it sounded kind of new and edgy,

00:11:03.180 to, you know, well, let me just say that in 2023, this is really worn out.

00:11:10.700 And only an NPC should say, you're living rent-free in somebody's head.

00:11:17.240 For a while, it was a good thing to say.

00:11:20.300 It was pretty kind of clever.

00:11:22.140 It's not clever anymore.

00:11:24.360 It's not clever.

00:11:25.600 And if somebody zings you as good as Trump zinged him,

00:11:29.100 you're going to need something better than living rent-free in Donald's head.

00:11:34.060 All right.

00:11:35.000 So that round goes to Trump.

00:11:36.460 I'd like to remind you again,

00:11:40.760 and this is something I have to remind myself of all the time,

00:11:43.580 a lot of the people on Twitter that you imagine are trolls,

00:11:49.020 you know, that they have some bad opinion

00:11:51.020 and they're just coming in and saying bad things,

00:11:53.700 you should know that a lot of them are just drunk.

00:11:57.480 Like, actually, they're just drunk.

00:11:58.940 And as soon as you tell yourself that they might be drunk,

00:12:03.820 the experience changes completely.

00:12:06.560 Have you had the experience where a drunk comes up to you and acts drunk?

00:12:10.420 And you don't like it,

00:12:12.500 but you don't, you're processing it as you're dealing with a drunk.

00:12:17.240 You don't process it as you're dealing with that person

00:12:19.840 and their actual personality in a real situation.

00:12:22.820 You just say, oh, that's a drunk.

00:12:24.440 You know, I get it.

00:12:25.000 They're not hurting me.

00:12:25.840 They're just drunk.

00:12:26.520 They're just annoying.

00:12:27.060 So, trolls can really get under your skin.

00:12:32.040 You know, they can say something that, you know, makes you look stupid.

00:12:36.100 So, you're like, ah, I'm not going to look stupid.

00:12:38.860 And I found that by far the best reply

00:12:42.440 to troll people who just come on to insult you

00:12:46.120 is, I like to say, morning drinking or drunk already.

00:12:53.800 And what's interesting is the number of people

00:12:55.900 who don't push back on that accusation.

00:12:59.460 You'd expect people to say stuff like,

00:13:01.880 I haven't had a drink since the 90s.

00:13:04.180 You know, what do you mean?

00:13:05.360 But they don't.

00:13:06.580 They're usually drunk.

00:13:08.360 I think they're actually drunk.

00:13:10.600 And, you know, if they're not drunk,

00:13:12.060 they're inebriated on something.

00:13:13.400 So, there's a ton of stuff that you shouldn't think about at all.

00:13:18.980 Just reply to them and ask them if they're drinking.

00:13:21.940 And don't say anything else.

00:13:24.220 Don't follow up.

00:13:25.620 Because they're going to say something like,

00:13:27.260 you think I'm drinking?

00:13:28.960 Look at your tweet.

00:13:30.340 I think you're the one.

00:13:31.460 You know, they're going to say something.

00:13:33.120 It doesn't matter what they say.

00:13:34.100 Anyway, just drop your comment

00:13:37.880 that it appears they've been drinking

00:13:39.960 and don't do anything else.

00:13:42.240 Do not engage.

00:13:43.760 You'll be much happier.

00:13:45.740 Well, there's something called the misery index.

00:13:47.740 Have you heard of that?

00:13:48.920 It's the combination of unemployment and inflation.

00:13:51.920 So, if you've got lots of unemployment

00:13:54.340 at the same time you've got lots of inflation,

00:13:57.780 that would be high on the misery index.

00:14:00.900 Well, it turns out that the misery index

00:14:02.700 is down to where it was when Biden took office.

00:14:08.480 It did, of course, as you know.

00:14:10.600 It zoomed.

00:14:11.400 We had high unemployment and high inflation.

00:14:14.620 And both of them come down quite a bit.

00:14:17.620 So, the misery index is down.

00:14:18.960 Now, the misery index does not measure everything.

00:14:21.920 Huh.

00:14:25.780 That's interesting.

00:14:26.940 What does it mean when Twitter says

00:14:28.260 there's a rate limit that's reached?

00:14:30.800 Does anybody know what that means?

00:14:33.320 I just saw a tweet as a rate limit.

00:14:37.680 Yeah, I don't know what that means.

00:14:40.400 Anyway, we'll get to that story

00:14:41.740 that had the rate limit on it.

00:14:42.880 I just saw that go by on the locals' platform.

00:14:46.500 Wall Street Journal has an editorial

00:14:49.660 in which they're quite pointedly blaming Randy Weingarten

00:14:53.640 for the fact that...

00:14:57.000 Well, I'm exaggerating a little bit.

00:15:00.560 But in effect,

00:15:02.560 they're blaming Randy Weingarten,

00:15:04.200 the head of the teachers' unions,

00:15:05.720 the biggest teachers' union,

00:15:06.700 for the fact that you ever needed

00:15:10.420 affirmative action,

00:15:12.900 at least in the modern times.

00:15:14.760 And the argument goes like this,

00:15:16.140 and it's the argument I make,

00:15:18.060 which is if our K-6 schools were good,

00:15:22.200 and they gave everybody,

00:15:23.820 including people of color,

00:15:25.600 a good education,

00:15:26.460 you wouldn't have much of a question

00:15:28.880 by the time colleges

00:15:30.700 were looking at applicants.

00:15:32.580 Because they'd just be looking

00:15:33.520 at a whole bunch of qualified applicants.

00:15:35.380 They'd just pick the good ones,

00:15:36.580 just like you think they should.

00:15:39.120 But if you completely fail the,

00:15:41.220 let's say,

00:15:41.640 the black community in particular,

00:15:44.080 which is the current case,

00:15:46.060 the black community in America

00:15:47.920 is totally underserved

00:15:49.120 in terms of education.

00:15:51.320 And what are you going to do in college?

00:15:53.620 We can't ask the colleges

00:15:55.700 to fix the problem

00:15:56.940 that Randy Weingarten's union caused.

00:16:01.760 Now, the reason the union caused it

00:16:03.480 is because they prevent competition,

00:16:06.940 and they prevent the easy firing

00:16:08.800 of bad teachers.

00:16:10.360 You put those two things together,

00:16:12.020 and you ruin the entire education process

00:16:14.660 in America,

00:16:15.440 which is what happened.

00:16:17.060 It's exactly the predictable outcome

00:16:19.260 you'd expect.

00:16:21.020 I don't know how it could be more obvious.

00:16:23.620 They're removing competition

00:16:25.080 and not firing bad teachers

00:16:27.440 is going to get you

00:16:28.260 to exactly where we are now.

00:16:29.860 I mean, who could see that coming?

00:16:31.720 So, anyway,

00:16:34.480 I just want to point out

00:16:35.320 that the Wall Street Journal editorial

00:16:37.280 is on the same page that I am,

00:16:40.700 that systemic racism

00:16:43.020 is really all about the teachers' unions.

00:16:45.620 Can you give me a fact check on something?

00:16:50.800 I read...

00:16:51.740 I don't know if this is true,

00:16:53.440 and I'm not saying this is relevant to the story.

00:16:56.720 I'm just curious.

00:16:58.380 So it's just curious.

00:16:59.940 I read that...

00:17:01.180 that Randy Weingarten

00:17:04.960 is a lesbian married to a...

00:17:08.620 rabbi?

00:17:10.620 She's a lesbian married to a rabbi?

00:17:15.760 Can you confirm that that's true?

00:17:20.180 So she's a...

00:17:22.300 She's...

00:17:23.340 Yes, Paul.

00:17:24.640 I do mean a Jew,

00:17:26.180 because that is what a rabbi is.

00:17:27.920 That is correct.

00:17:29.680 Thanks for your penetrating insight.

00:17:32.640 Good addition to the conversation.

00:17:34.280 I like it when the little anti-Semitism

00:17:37.640 gets thrown onto every fucking thing.

00:17:40.660 Could we go, like, a minute

00:17:42.000 without something anti-Semitic happening

00:17:44.160 in the comments on YouTube?

00:17:45.880 Like, just one fucking minute.

00:17:48.180 Like, you don't have to say it

00:17:49.220 on every fucking story.

00:17:51.820 Right?

00:17:52.160 We get it.

00:17:53.020 We get it.

00:17:54.180 I'm completely aware of your opinion.

00:17:56.920 You just...

00:17:57.660 It's just boring now.

00:17:59.560 All right?

00:17:59.960 You're not adding anything to the story.

00:18:01.920 Except badness.

00:18:05.200 All right.

00:18:07.340 Here's what I think

00:18:08.460 would be a hilarious conclusion

00:18:10.360 to the...

00:18:11.680 the student loan forgiveness situation.

00:18:17.280 As you know,

00:18:18.260 the Supreme Court

00:18:19.000 blocked the student loan forgiveness

00:18:23.060 that Biden wanted.

00:18:25.400 And...

00:18:26.120 we also assume

00:18:27.600 that the reason...

00:18:28.920 we also assume

00:18:32.360 that the reason

00:18:33.280 that Biden even offered

00:18:35.400 to do the loan forgiveness

00:18:36.500 is to get votes

00:18:37.760 in the last midterm.

00:18:39.700 So it looked like

00:18:40.760 a political play

00:18:41.860 that he couldn't really

00:18:43.280 deliver.

00:18:44.780 So now he's pretending

00:18:45.780 that he can do it

00:18:46.540 some other clever way

00:18:47.600 that probably won't work

00:18:48.820 either.

00:18:50.120 Even Nancy Pelosi

00:18:51.400 said it was illegal.

00:18:53.660 She said it directly.

00:18:55.120 Totally illegal.

00:18:56.780 Can't do it.

00:18:57.660 It's not the president's

00:18:59.000 responsibility.

00:19:00.840 So...

00:19:01.100 since we think

00:19:03.480 that Biden did this

00:19:04.400 as purely a political move

00:19:06.440 and never really expected

00:19:07.860 to get a debt relief,

00:19:10.160 shouldn't Trump

00:19:11.280 match his bullshit

00:19:12.800 with a matching amount

00:19:15.060 of bullshit?

00:19:16.160 Don't you think?

00:19:17.440 Because the most hilarious

00:19:18.660 thing that Trump could do

00:19:19.840 is to make

00:19:20.960 a different plan

00:19:22.640 that also is

00:19:24.280 completely impractical

00:19:25.480 and promise

00:19:26.680 those same people

00:19:27.580 that they're going

00:19:28.120 to get money

00:19:28.680 whether they vote

00:19:31.000 Republican or Democrat.

00:19:32.860 Well, okay.

00:19:34.200 Yeah, it's a long shot.

00:19:35.760 But if you're 25 years old

00:19:37.180 and you've got

00:19:37.620 crushing debt

00:19:38.620 from student loans,

00:19:40.500 wouldn't you take

00:19:41.200 a chance on Biden?

00:19:43.100 I would.

00:19:45.300 I think Biden's

00:19:46.460 the worst president ever.

00:19:48.540 And if I were 25

00:19:49.520 and I had,

00:19:50.300 they'll say,

00:19:50.660 $40,000

00:19:51.360 of student debt

00:19:52.340 and he said

00:19:53.420 there's a 10% chance

00:19:54.640 I might be able

00:19:55.200 to clear that debt,

00:19:57.340 do you know

00:19:57.700 how to calculate

00:19:58.300 the value of that?

00:20:00.320 That's a straight

00:20:01.180 expected value calculation.

00:20:03.580 You say to yourself,

00:20:04.740 well,

00:20:05.260 it's a $40,000 loan,

00:20:07.480 but there's only

00:20:08.220 a 10% chance

00:20:09.500 that Biden

00:20:10.080 will make it go away.

00:20:11.720 So you multiply

00:20:12.460 the 10%

00:20:13.260 times the $40,000,

00:20:15.260 gets you $4,000.

00:20:17.400 $4,000

00:20:18.240 is the value

00:20:19.220 of Biden to you,

00:20:20.800 the conceptual value.

00:20:22.900 So if you were

00:20:24.640 a rational voter,

00:20:26.660 you'd probably vote

00:20:27.620 for Biden

00:20:28.100 because it's free money

00:20:30.720 or it looks like

00:20:31.920 there's a chance of it.

00:20:33.660 But Trump

00:20:34.540 is offering nothing.

00:20:36.260 Trump is not saying,

00:20:37.380 I have another way

00:20:38.020 to handle this.

00:20:38.900 He's offering nothing.

00:20:40.740 And same with

00:20:41.460 the other candidates.

00:20:42.820 Imagine,

00:20:43.380 if you will,

00:20:44.620 that totally

00:20:45.600 tongue-in-cheek,

00:20:48.060 although he plays

00:20:49.300 it straight,

00:20:50.240 Trump says

00:20:50.960 he's going to tax

00:20:51.800 the liberal colleges

00:20:52.960 to pay off

00:20:53.740 all the student loans.

00:20:56.760 Now,

00:20:57.380 the first thing

00:20:58.180 you should ask yourself

00:20:59.040 is,

00:20:59.600 would that work?

00:21:01.360 No,

00:21:01.840 of course not.

00:21:03.240 No,

00:21:03.580 that wouldn't work.

00:21:04.820 It wouldn't work

00:21:05.380 even a little bit.

00:21:06.780 You know what else

00:21:07.460 wouldn't work?

00:21:08.600 The thing that Biden's doing.

00:21:10.700 Biden's plan

00:21:11.320 isn't going to work,

00:21:12.920 but it works for votes,

00:21:14.960 doesn't it?

00:21:15.540 It totally works for votes,

00:21:16.880 it's just not going to work

00:21:17.820 in the real world

00:21:18.520 like people get money

00:21:19.740 and stuff.

00:21:20.880 So if Trump came up

00:21:21.920 with a total bullshit plan

00:21:23.380 that everyone knew

00:21:25.080 was bullshit,

00:21:25.840 that's the funny part.

00:21:27.060 Like,

00:21:27.440 you know it's bullshit.

00:21:28.640 It's just Trump

00:21:29.640 being Trump

00:21:30.480 and just promising

00:21:32.260 more than maybe

00:21:33.060 he could deliver.

00:21:34.160 Although Trump

00:21:34.760 doesn't actually

00:21:35.700 intentionally promise

00:21:37.040 more than he could deliver.

00:21:38.560 I think he does

00:21:39.320 actually try to build a wall.

00:21:41.660 It just didn't happen.

00:21:43.360 Whereas,

00:21:44.080 I think Biden is,

00:21:45.160 he knows he's lying.

00:21:47.440 Like,

00:21:47.720 I can't read his mind,

00:21:49.480 but it's hard to imagine

00:21:50.420 that he thought

00:21:51.140 it would work

00:21:51.720 when nobody else

00:21:52.860 in the world

00:21:53.260 thought it would work.

00:21:54.640 So,

00:21:55.460 I don't know,

00:21:56.000 maybe he was the one person

00:21:57.220 who believed it.

00:21:58.600 Maybe.

00:22:01.160 So,

00:22:02.400 what,

00:22:03.040 yeah,

00:22:05.880 right.

00:22:07.260 So what do you think

00:22:08.220 about the idea

00:22:09.100 of saying that

00:22:09.980 the colleges

00:22:10.940 that caused the problem

00:22:12.300 should be responsible

00:22:14.400 for paying it off

00:22:15.520 over time?

00:22:16.340 Not all at once,

00:22:17.680 but maybe pay it off

00:22:18.620 over time.

00:22:20.660 Now,

00:22:21.160 some people say,

00:22:21.860 but they would just

00:22:22.420 raise their prices.

00:22:24.380 To which I say,

00:22:25.840 it's a free market.

00:22:27.740 They can do

00:22:28.380 whatever they want.

00:22:29.440 And then other people

00:22:30.260 could say,

00:22:30.660 I'll just use AI instead.

00:22:32.980 Elon Musk tweeted today

00:22:34.360 that the value of college

00:22:36.060 is,

00:22:36.480 you know,

00:22:36.860 diminishing.

00:22:38.340 So if you've got

00:22:39.280 the smartest,

00:22:40.060 richest person in the world

00:22:41.240 who's saying in public

00:22:42.460 the value of college

00:22:44.300 is,

00:22:44.820 you know,

00:22:45.100 pretty questionable,

00:22:46.620 I think we may reach

00:22:49.380 a big turning point here.

00:22:51.740 Because it's not

00:22:52.700 until people like

00:22:53.560 Elon Musk

00:22:54.280 say college is not

00:22:55.560 essential

00:22:56.200 that it becomes true.

00:22:58.280 It's not true

00:22:59.000 until people like him

00:22:59.840 say it,

00:23:00.560 right?

00:23:00.980 It's got to be

00:23:01.620 your employer

00:23:02.260 who says it.

00:23:04.240 If your employer

00:23:05.400 says it doesn't matter,

00:23:06.580 then it doesn't matter.

00:23:08.000 And he's,

00:23:08.600 you know,

00:23:08.780 a gigantic employer

00:23:09.820 with also influence

00:23:11.700 on other employers.

00:23:13.300 So that's real.

00:23:14.540 When Musk says it,

00:23:15.900 that gets real.

00:23:17.860 And he means it.

00:23:18.860 You know,

00:23:19.000 he's not joking.

00:23:21.540 Yeah.

00:23:22.140 And Harvard has

00:23:22.940 their big endowment,

00:23:23.900 et cetera, right?

00:23:25.100 All right.

00:23:28.440 There's a report.

00:23:29.900 I don't know if it's true.

00:23:31.100 Benny Johnson

00:23:31.660 had a breaking news

00:23:33.840 on this.

00:23:34.600 He says that

00:23:35.180 photos have leaked

00:23:36.120 of Michelle Obama

00:23:37.140 currently vacationing

00:23:38.960 on a massive

00:23:39.580 private yacht

00:23:40.540 on a private island

00:23:42.300 in Greece.

00:23:43.480 At the same time,

00:23:44.440 the Obamas

00:23:44.920 were tweeting

00:23:45.600 about the unfairness

00:23:47.380 of the Supreme Court

00:23:49.860 decision

00:23:50.320 to disallow

00:23:51.840 affirmative action.

00:23:54.540 So she was on

00:23:55.820 a yacht

00:23:56.720 when she was

00:23:57.740 complaining about

00:23:58.560 how bad things are

00:23:59.860 for black people

00:24:00.560 in America.

00:24:01.840 She was on a yacht.

00:24:03.740 Literally on

00:24:04.460 an actual,

00:24:05.500 literal,

00:24:06.020 little actual yacht.

00:24:07.740 Like a real yacht.

00:24:09.280 Not conceptually.

00:24:11.100 Not theoretically.

00:24:13.180 She was actually

00:24:13.840 on the yacht.

00:24:14.960 A real yacht.

00:24:17.920 Now,

00:24:18.580 this gave me

00:24:19.420 the idea

00:24:19.820 to suggest

00:24:20.600 a new feature

00:24:22.660 for Twitter

00:24:23.140 that I'd like to see.

00:24:24.780 I don't know

00:24:25.480 how I could do it

00:24:26.040 technologically,

00:24:26.960 but what I'd like

00:24:28.160 to see

00:24:28.700 is

00:24:30.460 some kind of feature

00:24:32.760 on Twitter

00:24:33.140 that says

00:24:33.740 that the tweeter

00:24:34.560 was on a yacht

00:24:36.120 when they sent

00:24:36.680 the tweet.

00:24:38.660 Because I'd like

00:24:39.340 to know

00:24:39.660 when the tweeter

00:24:40.280 is drunk.

00:24:41.380 I'd love to see

00:24:42.160 a breathalyzer

00:24:43.480 before you can tweet.

00:24:45.040 But I'd also like

00:24:46.060 to know

00:24:46.400 if the person

00:24:47.260 is on a yacht.

00:24:50.580 And I saw

00:24:51.380 somebody suggest

00:24:52.200 that there could be

00:24:53.480 an icon

00:24:53.980 for a little hypocrite

00:24:55.220 on a yacht.

00:24:55.840 I'd have been

00:24:59.180 laughing all morning.

00:25:00.460 What would that

00:25:01.020 look like?

00:25:02.000 What would the

00:25:03.040 icon of a hypocrite

00:25:04.460 on a yacht

00:25:05.000 even look like?

00:25:06.240 Would it be

00:25:06.860 Michelle Obama?

00:25:08.280 It would just be

00:25:09.160 a little icon

00:25:10.300 of a yacht

00:25:11.020 and Michelle Obama.

00:25:13.500 And that would be

00:25:14.280 a hypocrite

00:25:14.720 on a yacht.

00:25:19.720 I don't know

00:25:20.420 why that's so funny.

00:25:22.420 Yeah,

00:25:22.720 Scott on a yacht.

00:25:24.220 Scott on a yacht

00:25:25.080 at least it rhymes

00:25:25.880 better.

00:25:26.380 But hypocrite

00:25:27.160 on a yacht

00:25:27.720 would be

00:25:28.560 a hilarious icon.

00:25:31.960 Hypocrite

00:25:32.440 on a yacht.

00:25:34.120 All right.

00:25:36.740 You can use that

00:25:37.820 in so many ways.

00:25:41.240 Fox News

00:25:42.040 has a couple

00:25:42.900 of summer stories

00:25:44.320 where they

00:25:45.360 misinterpret somebody

00:25:46.540 and make a big story.

00:25:49.240 Who are they

00:25:49.980 misinterpreting today?

00:25:52.120 Something about

00:25:52.920 the New York Times

00:25:54.620 New York Times

00:25:55.860 had a story

00:25:56.380 that listed

00:25:57.660 the various ways

00:25:58.600 you could get out

00:25:59.340 of student debt.

00:26:00.640 And one of the ways

00:26:01.320 was dying.

00:26:03.200 So I think Fox News

00:26:04.200 is trying to act

00:26:05.320 like New York Times

00:26:07.580 thinks that dying

00:26:08.400 is a way to get out

00:26:09.220 of your debt.

00:26:10.300 Or something like that.

00:26:11.980 Somehow they turned

00:26:12.740 that into a story

00:26:13.900 of outrage.

00:26:15.420 It's definitely

00:26:16.280 your summer stories.

00:26:17.400 and then there was

00:26:20.040 some state politician

00:26:21.540 who said

00:26:22.260 fuck the suburbs.

00:26:24.760 So now

00:26:25.140 Fox News

00:26:26.720 is going to be

00:26:27.240 outraged about

00:26:28.040 fuck the suburbs.

00:26:30.100 Now of course

00:26:30.540 when you hear it

00:26:31.160 in context

00:26:32.880 it's more about

00:26:35.640 they need to do

00:26:36.420 something in the cities.

00:26:37.880 She's not saying

00:26:38.600 she doesn't care

00:26:39.160 about the suburbs.

00:26:40.720 But you know

00:26:41.060 that's the way

00:26:41.440 it'll be taken.

00:26:41.920 So Fox News

00:26:43.860 in the summers

00:26:44.720 there's just no

00:26:46.440 there's not enough

00:26:47.140 hard news.

00:26:48.520 So there's this

00:26:49.780 whole industry

00:26:50.320 of misinterpreting

00:26:51.260 people's comments.

00:26:53.700 I might be

00:26:54.400 a little bit

00:26:54.840 sensitive to that.

00:26:57.300 I wonder why.

00:26:59.600 Alright

00:27:00.100 I hear a lot of stuff

00:27:00.880 about

00:27:01.320 RFK Jr.'s voice

00:27:04.460 and people saying

00:27:05.700 well that's going

00:27:06.340 to hold him back.

00:27:07.580 Now I think

00:27:08.300 what will hold him back

00:27:09.080 is his policy

00:27:09.840 preferences

00:27:10.740 but let's talk

00:27:12.560 about his voice.

00:27:14.300 In my opinion

00:27:15.360 politicians have

00:27:16.580 two kinds of voices

00:27:17.620 commanding

00:27:19.200 and pleading.

00:27:21.520 And I believe

00:27:22.940 that you can tell

00:27:23.660 them when you hear

00:27:24.320 them.

00:27:25.220 And I'll give you

00:27:25.660 some examples.

00:27:26.840 Trump is a

00:27:27.800 commanding voice.

00:27:29.600 He's never

00:27:30.260 pleading.

00:27:31.600 He's commanding.

00:27:33.180 Would you agree?

00:27:34.440 Adam Schiff

00:27:35.220 what is Adam Schiff?

00:27:36.800 Is he a

00:27:37.200 commanding voice

00:27:38.000 or a pleading voice?

00:27:40.040 Pleading.

00:27:40.740 How about

00:27:43.060 Swalwell?

00:27:44.540 Is Swalwell

00:27:45.180 a commanding voice

00:27:46.400 or a pleading voice?

00:27:48.560 He's a pleading voice.

00:27:49.940 How about

00:27:50.460 Nancy Pelosi?

00:27:52.020 Now Nancy Pelosi

00:27:52.740 has

00:27:53.100 with age

00:27:54.460 she has her own

00:27:55.300 shaky voice problems.

00:27:56.700 Does she have

00:27:57.200 a commanding voice

00:27:58.200 or a pleading voice?

00:28:00.620 She has

00:28:01.420 a commanding voice.

00:28:02.920 Nancy Pelosi

00:28:03.500 has a commanding voice.

00:28:04.680 Even though her voice

00:28:06.940 is weak with age

00:28:08.300 the words that she

00:28:10.340 chooses

00:28:10.780 and the

00:28:12.620 command which

00:28:14.360 she puts into it

00:28:15.320 is very evident.

00:28:17.320 She has a

00:28:17.720 commanding voice.

00:28:19.940 Now I'll give you

00:28:21.040 a few more

00:28:21.420 to see if you can

00:28:21.940 get them right.

00:28:23.400 Chris Christie

00:28:24.140 tell me

00:28:25.060 is Chris Christie

00:28:25.960 a commanding voice

00:28:27.140 or a pleading voice?

00:28:29.280 Commanding

00:28:29.880 or pleading?

00:28:31.420 Chris Christie.

00:28:32.200 The answer is

00:28:34.940 pleading.

00:28:35.580 A lot of you

00:28:36.200 are trying to

00:28:36.720 substitute whining

00:28:37.620 but I'm going to

00:28:39.280 use pleading

00:28:39.920 for all of that

00:28:41.160 category of

00:28:42.020 whining and

00:28:42.980 complaining.

00:28:45.240 Alright here's

00:28:45.920 another one.

00:28:49.540 Let's see

00:28:50.560 Vivek Ramaswamy

00:28:52.740 commanding

00:28:53.960 or pleading?

00:28:55.380 Commanding

00:28:56.100 or pleading?

00:28:57.260 Vivek Ramaswamy

00:28:58.480 commanding?

00:29:00.560 Absolutely

00:29:01.060 commanding.

00:29:02.200 Somebody said

00:29:05.000 Josh Hawley.

00:29:06.580 Josh Hawley

00:29:07.280 has

00:29:08.360 he has a

00:29:09.440 commanding voice

00:29:10.380 but don't be

00:29:11.280 confused with

00:29:12.160 the tone

00:29:13.060 of his voice.

00:29:14.200 What Josh Hawley

00:29:15.360 has is a

00:29:16.540 tonality

00:29:17.600 that

00:29:19.300 suggests

00:29:21.160 command.

00:29:22.140 That's actually

00:29:22.880 not what I'm

00:29:23.340 talking about

00:29:23.840 because when I

00:29:25.240 say Nancy Pelosi

00:29:26.060 has a commanding

00:29:26.880 voice it's not

00:29:27.780 about her

00:29:28.300 deep resonance

00:29:29.100 it's that the

00:29:30.580 thing she says

00:29:31.480 and the

00:29:32.540 sort of attitude

00:29:33.660 she puts into

00:29:34.440 it is

00:29:34.820 commanding.

00:29:37.440 And so

00:29:38.860 Vivek is

00:29:39.520 commanding.

00:29:41.320 How about

00:29:42.240 DeSantis?

00:29:43.700 Ron DeSantis

00:29:44.360 commanding or

00:29:45.720 pleading?

00:29:46.600 Commanding or

00:29:47.360 pleading?

00:29:47.700 Ron DeSantis

00:29:48.320 pleading.

00:29:49.400 He has a

00:29:50.800 pleading style.

00:29:53.080 Now I'm not

00:29:53.540 saying he's not

00:29:54.180 a good executive

00:29:55.200 or a good

00:29:55.800 leader.

00:29:56.160 He seems to

00:29:56.620 be very good.

00:29:57.560 Very good.

00:29:58.940 How about

00:29:59.920 Mike Pence?

00:30:01.080 Mike Pence

00:30:01.720 commanding or

00:30:02.680 pleading?

00:30:03.820 Mike Pence

00:30:04.480 pleading.

00:30:05.720 Yeah he's a

00:30:06.100 pleader.

00:30:06.360 So now that

00:30:08.080 I, okay

00:30:09.420 Kamala Harris

00:30:10.200 commanding or

00:30:11.040 pleading?

00:30:12.740 That was

00:30:13.500 easy.

00:30:14.960 That's

00:30:15.220 pleading.

00:30:16.320 All right.

00:30:18.300 Now that

00:30:19.540 you have

00:30:19.940 the, now

00:30:21.380 that you can

00:30:21.780 see the

00:30:22.840 pleaders

00:30:23.280 versus the

00:30:23.960 commanders.

00:30:26.160 RFK Jr.

00:30:27.500 Commanding or

00:30:28.320 pleading?

00:30:29.440 Commanding or

00:30:30.080 pleading?

00:30:30.480 RFK Jr.

00:30:31.340 Go.

00:30:31.560 It's

00:30:35.980 commanding.

00:30:37.380 Yeah.

00:30:37.700 His voice is

00:30:38.400 commanding.

00:30:39.420 So here's

00:30:40.080 what everybody's

00:30:40.840 getting wrong.

00:30:43.180 Number one,

00:30:44.760 nobody ever

00:30:45.560 talks over

00:30:46.220 RFK Jr.

00:30:48.220 You haven't

00:30:48.980 noticed that

00:30:49.500 have you?

00:30:50.720 When do you

00:30:51.160 notice it?

00:30:53.160 He's the

00:30:53.820 only person in

00:30:54.460 politics who

00:30:55.000 will never get

00:30:55.600 talked over.

00:30:57.160 People stop,

00:30:58.740 they lean in,

00:30:59.680 and they listen

00:31:00.240 to every word,

00:31:00.820 and they

00:31:01.620 wait until

00:31:02.080 he's done.

00:31:03.080 They wait

00:31:03.460 until he's

00:31:03.820 done.

00:31:04.900 And then they

00:31:05.360 ask another

00:31:05.820 polite question.

00:31:07.340 That is as

00:31:08.300 commanding as

00:31:09.820 a voice can

00:31:10.460 be.

00:31:11.080 I would argue

00:31:11.940 that he might

00:31:12.780 have, with

00:31:14.180 Trump, you

00:31:15.220 know, Trump's

00:31:15.620 a singular

00:31:16.100 character, but

00:31:17.340 RFK Jr.

00:31:18.040 has as

00:31:19.460 commanding a

00:31:20.240 voice as

00:31:20.680 Trump.

00:31:21.960 It's not the

00:31:22.840 same, you

00:31:23.360 know, good

00:31:23.680 sound, it's

00:31:24.320 not a Josh

00:31:25.060 Hawley, you

00:31:26.320 know, booming

00:31:27.220 baritone, but

00:31:29.260 it's commanding

00:31:30.380 as hell.

00:31:31.860 It's

00:31:32.340 completely

00:31:32.800 commanding.

00:31:34.420 So if

00:31:35.160 you've missed

00:31:35.620 that, you've

00:31:36.940 missed the

00:31:37.320 story of his

00:31:37.880 voice.

00:31:38.800 The story of

00:31:39.380 his voice is

00:31:39.960 not that it

00:31:40.540 sounds like

00:31:41.080 Katharine

00:31:41.460 Hepburn,

00:31:42.300 because so

00:31:44.220 does Nancy

00:31:44.680 Pelosi.

00:31:46.180 And she's

00:31:46.600 commanding as

00:31:47.220 hell.

00:31:48.740 You wish you

00:31:49.460 could be as

00:31:49.860 commanding as

00:31:50.400 she is.

00:31:51.760 So it's

00:31:52.560 definitely not

00:31:53.560 gender.

00:31:54.720 I'm trying to

00:31:55.240 make sure you

00:31:55.740 can see it's

00:31:56.200 not gender.

00:31:56.740 And it's

00:31:58.480 not quality of

00:31:59.280 voice.

00:31:59.740 It's not

00:32:00.100 voice quality.

00:32:01.280 It is

00:32:01.540 absolutely word

00:32:02.580 choice and

00:32:03.120 attitude, and

00:32:04.660 he's got all

00:32:05.280 of that.

00:32:06.920 Now, RFK

00:32:09.860 Jr.'s policies

00:32:10.740 don't appeal to

00:32:11.700 me at the

00:32:12.100 moment, as

00:32:13.380 he's expressed

00:32:14.000 them, especially

00:32:15.260 his support for

00:32:17.300 affirmative action

00:32:18.120 in colleges.

00:32:20.280 But he's got

00:32:22.720 the tools.

00:32:23.740 He's got the

00:32:25.160 tools.

00:32:27.380 All right, let's

00:32:28.000 talk about how

00:32:30.760 many of you are

00:32:31.860 having a moment

00:32:32.440 right now where

00:32:33.020 you're thinking,

00:32:33.680 holy shit, did

00:32:34.400 you just reframe

00:32:35.180 RFK Jr.'s voice

00:32:36.820 into a positive,

00:32:38.080 and you just

00:32:39.120 watched me do

00:32:39.720 it, and I did

00:32:40.200 it successfully?

00:32:43.260 Is that

00:32:43.780 messing with you

00:32:44.400 at all?

00:32:47.120 You're not

00:32:47.620 buying it?

00:32:48.180 All right, you're

00:32:48.540 not buying it.

00:32:49.700 Okay.

00:32:49.940 So I just

00:32:53.280 decided to pay

00:32:53.920 attention to

00:32:54.460 France, which I

00:32:55.620 usually don't pay

00:32:56.260 attention to, but

00:32:57.760 the riots are

00:32:59.580 getting pretty bad.

00:33:00.320 I thought I'd

00:33:00.640 give you some

00:33:01.160 statistics.

00:33:03.000 So it's being

00:33:03.640 caused by the

00:33:04.340 death of a 17

00:33:05.200 ruled named

00:33:06.620 Nahil, I guess.

00:33:09.500 He was shot

00:33:10.680 dead during a

00:33:11.260 traffic stop, and

00:33:12.760 the video of the

00:33:14.040 traffic stop doesn't

00:33:15.040 look like it was a

00:33:16.460 good shooting, so

00:33:17.380 that's the claim.

00:33:18.200 It doesn't look

00:33:18.780 like he deserved to

00:33:19.700 be shot.

00:33:20.900 Nobody deserves to

00:33:21.840 be shot, but you

00:33:22.640 know what I mean.

00:33:24.700 But worse than

00:33:25.740 that, apparently

00:33:26.780 there have been

00:33:28.000 what, 13 police

00:33:30.800 shootings of people

00:33:32.340 who are mostly

00:33:32.880 black or Muslim.

00:33:36.400 So it's about the

00:33:37.580 police, it's

00:33:38.180 basically a George

00:33:39.080 Floyd situation

00:33:39.960 playing out in

00:33:40.700 France.

00:33:41.680 So George Floyd

00:33:43.060 plus Muslims.

00:33:44.920 So you've got your

00:33:45.440 Muslims and your

00:33:46.440 blacks who both

00:33:48.160 have something to

00:33:48.800 complain about.

00:33:49.700 Now, apparently

00:33:50.960 there's a, and

00:33:53.240 the statistics show

00:33:54.300 that if you're

00:33:54.900 Muslim or black

00:33:55.700 and you were

00:33:56.680 stopped by police,

00:33:57.620 your odds of being

00:33:58.360 shot are very

00:33:59.580 high.

00:34:01.000 Now, there's an

00:34:05.020 obvious question

00:34:05.740 here.

00:34:06.220 I think you know

00:34:07.220 the obvious

00:34:07.640 question, which

00:34:09.460 is, does France

00:34:12.300 have Asians?

00:34:13.220 can anybody answer

00:34:16.260 that?

00:34:16.960 Are there Asian

00:34:18.900 French?

00:34:20.960 Or is that

00:34:21.720 almost non-existent?

00:34:25.140 I would imagine

00:34:26.140 they do.

00:34:26.980 Somebody says

00:34:27.500 Vietnamese, a lot

00:34:28.400 of Vietnamese.

00:34:29.700 Yeah, so they've got

00:34:30.200 a lot of Asians.

00:34:32.440 I was looking for

00:34:33.440 the statistic on the

00:34:34.620 number of Asians who

00:34:37.200 have been slain by

00:34:38.280 police in police

00:34:39.520 stops in France.

00:34:40.640 If anybody can find

00:34:43.000 that number, we

00:34:43.600 should report it

00:34:44.220 because I assume, I

00:34:45.720 assume the police are

00:34:46.800 shooting all the

00:34:47.620 minorities and we

00:34:50.460 should make sure we

00:34:51.140 have some data on the

00:34:52.540 Asians in France

00:34:53.660 because you know

00:34:54.660 they're being shot at a

00:34:55.480 pretty high rate,

00:34:56.440 right?

00:34:58.020 Don't you assume

00:34:58.760 they're all being shot

00:34:59.520 at the same rate as

00:35:00.480 the black and Muslims?

00:35:01.820 I mean, why

00:35:04.500 wouldn't they be?

00:35:06.120 A bunch of racists.

00:35:09.040 Huh.

00:35:10.160 All right.

00:35:11.160 It's 2023.

00:35:12.940 Can we be honest

00:35:13.720 with each other?

00:35:15.940 Do you think it

00:35:17.020 makes sense that we

00:35:17.840 talk about culture?

00:35:19.680 We're always talking

00:35:20.440 culture.

00:35:21.040 Oh, this culture is

00:35:22.760 different from this

00:35:23.520 culture.

00:35:24.060 You have to understand

00:35:24.820 our lived experience,

00:35:26.120 our culture, our

00:35:26.780 culture.

00:35:27.820 But isn't culture,

00:35:29.180 doesn't that mean you

00:35:29.760 act differently?

00:35:30.320 in the same situation?

00:35:33.200 Wouldn't that be

00:35:34.100 exactly what that is?

00:35:36.380 A difference in

00:35:37.100 culture is that if I

00:35:39.680 go to celebrate

00:35:41.200 versus you go to

00:35:42.960 celebrate, we might

00:35:44.280 celebrate differently.

00:35:45.780 If you get dressed

00:35:47.120 and I get dressed,

00:35:49.500 maybe differently

00:35:50.300 because your culture

00:35:51.640 is different from

00:35:52.280 mine.

00:35:52.740 The whole point of a

00:35:53.560 culture is you act

00:35:54.220 differently.

00:35:55.500 Isn't it?

00:35:56.880 It's not really a

00:35:57.900 culture if everybody

00:35:58.820 acted the same.

00:36:00.320 But as soon as you

00:36:01.880 get stopped by the

00:36:02.640 police, that goes all

00:36:03.500 out the door and

00:36:04.380 nobody has a culture

00:36:05.160 anymore.

00:36:07.540 It's 2023, people.

00:36:10.600 People don't act the

00:36:11.660 same when they're

00:36:12.140 stopped by the police.

00:36:13.900 There isn't a person

00:36:15.200 in the whole planet,

00:36:16.880 8 billion people.

00:36:18.700 8 billion people, if

00:36:19.860 you gave them a test

00:36:20.700 and said, on average,

00:36:22.280 you know, we know

00:36:22.780 individuals could be

00:36:23.720 all over the board,

00:36:24.380 but on average, do you

00:36:26.660 believe that an Asian

00:36:28.060 American or an Asian

00:36:30.260 French person, whatever,

00:36:32.500 do you think that when

00:36:33.220 they're stopped by the

00:36:34.020 police, they act exactly

00:36:36.400 the same as the black

00:36:38.700 and Muslim people

00:36:40.860 stopped by the police?

00:36:42.720 Nobody believes that.

00:36:44.220 There's not a single

00:36:45.160 person in the world who

00:36:45.980 believes that.

00:36:46.900 There's not an Asian

00:36:47.740 person who believes

00:36:48.520 that.

00:36:48.880 There's not a Muslim

00:36:49.620 person who believes

00:36:50.420 that.

00:36:51.140 There's not a liberal

00:36:51.960 person who believes

00:36:52.720 that.

00:36:53.040 There's not a conservative

00:36:53.880 person who believes

00:36:54.700 that.

00:36:55.280 There's not a black

00:36:56.040 person who believes

00:36:56.720 it.

00:36:57.240 There's not a white

00:36:57.840 person.

00:36:58.200 There's not anybody.

00:36:59.220 There's not a single

00:36:59.940 person.

00:37:00.620 8 billion of us is the

00:37:02.080 one thing we agree on.

00:37:04.120 Cultures are different.

00:37:07.880 And it definitely,

00:37:09.040 definitely plays out in

00:37:10.460 a traffic stop.

00:37:11.880 There's no fucking way

00:37:13.740 that the Asians are

00:37:15.660 acting the same as the

00:37:17.100 blacks and the Muslims

00:37:18.320 and everybody else.

00:37:19.720 I mean, you can throw

00:37:20.280 the Irish in there if

00:37:21.240 you want, right?

00:37:23.420 Just throw the Irish in

00:37:24.600 there.

00:37:24.980 I have no idea if the

00:37:26.220 Irish get in more fights

00:37:27.600 than anybody else, but

00:37:29.300 if they have any

00:37:30.840 identifiable cultural

00:37:32.380 differences, which I

00:37:34.520 don't know is the case,

00:37:35.560 but if they did, you'd

00:37:37.200 expect it to carry out in

00:37:38.620 lots of forms of life.

00:37:41.900 Why in the world can't we

00:37:43.060 say that?

00:37:45.280 Why in the world can't you

00:37:46.440 say the problem with all

00:37:49.520 of this is that there's a

00:37:51.640 clear cultural difference

00:37:52.780 in how people react when

00:37:53.960 they're stopped by police?

00:37:55.680 There's no doubt about it.

00:37:58.000 Literally nobody believes

00:37:59.200 that they act the same.

00:38:00.880 Nobody.

00:38:02.120 Why would they get the

00:38:02.920 same outcome?

00:38:04.200 It doesn't make any sense

00:38:05.100 at all.

00:38:06.620 So France, of course, is

00:38:07.760 going through their

00:38:08.380 craziness, and we all get

00:38:11.180 to wrap our own politics

00:38:12.900 around it to make our own

00:38:13.920 points like I just did.

00:38:16.140 All right, but here are

00:38:16.760 some of the numbers over

00:38:18.220 there.

00:38:20.600 Over 1,300 people have

00:38:22.180 been detained.

00:38:25.000 And 234 incidents of

00:38:27.880 damage or fire in

00:38:29.040 buildings.

00:38:29.620 I don't know what

00:38:30.100 damage.

00:38:30.820 It could be minor damage,

00:38:31.960 I suppose.

00:38:34.120 But listen to this.

00:38:35.320 79 police and gendarmes

00:38:37.220 were injured.

00:38:38.800 79 police and gendarmes.

00:38:42.640 I don't know what's the

00:38:43.340 difference between a police

00:38:44.460 and a gendarme.

00:38:45.740 Does anybody know?

00:38:47.080 What's the difference

00:38:47.740 between a French police

00:38:49.100 officer and a gendarme?

00:38:51.780 Or is it gendarmes?

00:38:53.800 Gendarmes?

00:38:55.220 Sorry.

00:38:56.800 Gendarmes.

00:38:57.980 What is a gendarme?

00:39:00.840 Go to anybody, tell me.

00:39:02.100 What is a gendarme?

00:39:03.880 It's a military police.

00:39:05.080 Thank you.

00:39:06.340 I knew somebody would

00:39:07.220 know it.

00:39:08.440 That's a lot of injuries.

00:39:10.700 That's a crazy amount of

00:39:11.940 injuries.

00:39:12.240 58 attacks on police and

00:39:14.720 gendarmes and gendarmes

00:39:16.840 stations.

00:39:18.020 58 attacks.

00:39:20.980 Can you hold that in your

00:39:22.000 mind?

00:39:23.840 Imagine if in the United

00:39:25.100 States, 58 police stations

00:39:27.440 got attacked and gendarmes.

00:39:31.940 That's a pretty big deal.

00:39:33.880 That's a shocking number.

00:39:37.160 Let's see what else.

00:39:38.400 blacks and Arabs in

00:39:43.280 France, according to a

00:39:44.300 French human rights and

00:39:45.220 watchdog organization, I'm

00:39:47.520 looking at a Mario

00:39:48.520 Nafal tweet.

00:39:49.680 He says that the blacks and

00:39:52.420 Arabs in France are 20 times

00:39:54.020 more likely to be stopped by

00:39:55.560 police.

00:39:57.620 And what is the likelihood

00:40:00.120 that they broke the law more

00:40:01.560 than other people?

00:40:02.300 I'm not saying they did.

00:40:04.860 I'm just saying if that's not

00:40:06.300 in the story, it's kind of

00:40:08.160 conspicuously missing.

00:40:12.220 There's a, I've told you this

00:40:14.320 before, there's a highway that

00:40:16.440 goes through Oakland.

00:40:18.400 Sometimes I find myself on it,

00:40:20.200 multi-lane highway.

00:40:21.480 The left lane, of course, is for

00:40:22.920 the fast people who are in a

00:40:24.720 hurry.

00:40:25.680 But the left lane is almost

00:40:27.740 entirely young black men going

00:40:30.280 over 100 miles an hour.

00:40:31.520 And, of course, there's no

00:40:33.760 police presence there

00:40:34.680 whatsoever.

00:40:36.020 But the other X lanes, three

00:40:38.860 lanes, whatever it is, you

00:40:40.260 know, they're also speeding,

00:40:41.540 right?

00:40:42.140 You know, the speed limit is

00:40:43.700 65.

00:40:44.340 Everybody's doing 80.

00:40:45.800 But the left lane, you know,

00:40:47.660 is like over 100.

00:40:49.920 Just all the time.

00:40:51.840 And it's almost entirely young

00:40:54.020 black men in cars.

00:40:55.400 Usually multiple young black

00:40:56.940 men in cars.

00:40:57.860 And you can tell that the

00:40:58.700 police have just decided to let

00:41:00.060 that go.

00:41:00.500 It's like they have their

00:41:01.680 own, like an express lane for

00:41:03.980 young black men.

00:41:05.880 If you were a police officer

00:41:07.320 and you were just, and your

00:41:08.860 job was to do stops, you were

00:41:10.760 just going to stop people and

00:41:11.780 give them tickets, who would you

00:41:13.700 rather stop?

00:41:15.460 A 25-year-old woman in a, let's

00:41:20.560 say, in a Volkswagen.

00:41:21.640 Because you might get a date out of

00:41:24.700 that.

00:41:25.080 You might get a date.

00:41:26.320 You never know.

00:41:27.020 You might get a date.

00:41:28.420 Or would you rather stop one of

00:41:29.940 the cars that's going 100 miles an

00:41:31.520 hour with some gangbangers in it

00:41:34.420 who are looking for trouble?

00:41:38.600 If you're a cop, you're going to

00:41:40.020 stop the pretty girl.

00:41:42.120 Because your numbers look exactly

00:41:43.660 the same.

00:41:44.580 How many tickets did you give?

00:41:45.960 Well, you know, that's a good

00:41:47.260 number.

00:41:48.200 Back to work.

00:41:50.260 So now, to imagine that

00:41:52.580 everybody's acting the same on the

00:41:54.380 highway, but then when they leave

00:41:56.640 the highway and they get out of

00:41:57.680 their cars, they go back to their

00:42:00.080 different cultures and then

00:42:01.500 everything's different.

00:42:03.200 Like, as soon as they get within

00:42:04.200 their culture, they're all acting

00:42:05.400 differently than the other

00:42:06.420 cultures, which is what a culture

00:42:08.280 is.

00:42:08.960 No problem with that.

00:42:10.080 But then as soon as they get in a

00:42:11.900 car, they all act the same, right?

00:42:14.840 Everybody acts the same once they

00:42:16.220 get in the car.

00:42:18.120 That's what we're asking ourselves

00:42:19.500 to believe.

00:42:20.660 It's stupid.

00:42:22.900 So maybe 2023 is when you can say

00:42:25.100 things that are true and you don't

00:42:27.260 have to say things that are stupid

00:42:28.500 to sound like you're a good person.

00:42:30.660 Maybe.

00:42:32.360 All right.

00:42:34.040 Kennedy said some more, RFK Jr.,

00:42:36.440 about his drug healing centers.

00:42:38.500 I like the fact, so he's talking

00:42:40.820 about, you know, having some places

00:42:42.600 that are away from the city where

00:42:44.620 people can, he says, eat organic

00:42:48.400 food, heal spiritually, physically,

00:42:50.540 and emotionally, and find themselves

00:42:52.120 again.

00:42:53.480 So he calls it healing camps.

00:42:55.640 So it'd be like, you know, not a

00:42:57.500 five-star resort, but more of a camp

00:42:59.680 in a nice place.

00:43:01.820 I like everything about that.

00:43:03.980 I like everything about that.

00:43:05.140 He didn't say, but I think he's in

00:43:10.000 favor of it, that some of these

00:43:11.840 treatment centers maybe should

00:43:14.100 consider using mushrooms, maybe

00:43:17.120 ketamine or something.

00:43:18.500 I'm no doctor.

00:43:20.000 But we need to start using the tools

00:43:23.720 that we know work, and we know that

00:43:25.420 these psychedelic treatments do work.

00:43:28.300 100% of the evidence shows that they

00:43:30.400 do.

00:43:30.580 It's, like, all really clear.

00:43:35.980 Kratom?

00:43:37.220 Yeah, I don't know.

00:43:37.980 I don't know about Kratom.

00:43:39.580 I have not used it myself, so I can't

00:43:42.040 speak to it.

00:43:43.300 But I love everything about that.

00:43:45.860 Now, you may remember that Trump had

00:43:47.380 an idea for the homeless.

00:43:50.580 So RFK Jr. is talking about the

00:43:53.340 addicted.

00:43:54.480 Trump was talking about the

00:43:55.700 homeless.

00:43:56.080 But as you know, the overlap is

00:44:00.060 probably 80% or more.

00:44:03.040 So actually, RFK Jr. and Trump are

00:44:05.340 very much, very close on this idea.

00:44:09.800 I would bet that RFK Jr. would be

00:44:11.540 more likely to say yes to treatments

00:44:14.660 that use hallucinogens, and Trump would

00:44:18.760 be less likely to be in favor of that

00:44:20.360 because he's consistently anti-drug.

00:44:22.820 And the thing is, he came by honestly,

00:44:26.200 so I don't hold it against him like I

00:44:28.620 would other people.

00:44:30.440 You know, he's a lifelong non-drinker.

00:44:32.640 He had a brother who died from alcohol.

00:44:35.020 I get it.

00:44:36.080 I get it.

00:44:37.080 Right?

00:44:37.360 He's got a personal opinion that doesn't

00:44:40.200 kind of match the public in that area,

00:44:42.580 but we understand.

00:44:43.920 Completely understand.

00:44:45.960 So I don't think he's the best president

00:44:48.080 for treating addiction.

00:44:49.580 I think RFK Jr. would be the best president

00:44:52.560 for dealing with addiction.

00:44:55.480 But I think Vivek might be the best president

00:44:58.400 for eradicating the cartels.

00:45:01.280 So you've got a problem on the treatment side.

00:45:03.980 RFK Jr. has the best plan I've heard.

00:45:06.720 You've got a problem on the supply side.

00:45:09.520 Vivek and Trump both want to go hard

00:45:11.860 at the cartels, but I'll take the younger

00:45:14.280 president if I have a choice.

00:45:19.580 Given the actual ages of the candidates.

00:45:22.920 All right.

00:45:23.400 So that's enough on that.

00:45:24.640 That's potentially good news.

00:45:26.700 Because when you see that Trump and RFK Jr.

00:45:29.440 are not too far apart

00:45:30.900 on the whole idea of building a separate area

00:45:33.900 for the people who don't mix well

00:45:35.460 with the rest of us,

00:45:36.560 I feel like that's something

00:45:39.600 that everybody could get behind.

00:45:42.580 Is there anybody here who thinks

00:45:44.780 those are bad ideas?

00:45:45.860 to have a separate place

00:45:47.940 for the people who need special treatment?

00:45:51.600 What do you think?

00:45:52.920 I like every part of it.

00:45:57.760 We don't have a choice.

00:45:59.220 What?

00:46:02.120 All right.

00:46:03.460 Deborah says, in all caps,

00:46:05.160 I think it is not a good idea.

00:46:07.580 Well, since you used all caps,

00:46:09.080 you're going to have to disappear.

00:46:10.640 Goodbye.

00:46:10.880 Goodbye.

00:46:13.420 All right.

00:46:14.120 Well, I think they're good ideas.

00:46:15.860 And at the very least,

00:46:17.100 what do I always say about good ideas?

00:46:20.000 You never know if they're a good idea.

00:46:22.140 It could be some hidden problem.

00:46:23.780 But could you test it?

00:46:26.080 How hard would it be to test

00:46:27.880 a camp where you treat people?

00:46:32.900 It seems like the most testable thing

00:46:34.640 you could ever do.

00:46:35.640 So absolutely.

00:46:37.280 All right.

00:46:39.100 So the news is starting to ask this question.

00:46:42.600 See if you've heard anybody

00:46:44.380 mentioned this before.

00:46:46.580 Does this sound familiar?

00:46:47.940 Because the news is starting to say this now.

00:46:50.520 Hey, we have noticed

00:46:52.420 we haven't seen a photograph

00:46:53.800 of Purgosian lately.

00:46:57.620 Huh.

00:46:57.840 I wonder if things aren't going

00:47:01.940 as well for him

00:47:03.020 as maybe we first thought.

00:47:06.480 So CNN and other outlets

00:47:08.440 are starting to say

00:47:09.280 his plane went to Belarus.

00:47:13.680 His plane went there.

00:47:17.200 And I guess his media empire

00:47:21.600 got shut down.

00:47:23.320 And some other general

00:47:24.260 who may or may not have been

00:47:25.380 working with him

00:47:26.000 is missing at the same time.

00:47:28.260 Now, there's a photograph

00:47:30.000 that was on the internet

00:47:31.520 that purported to show

00:47:33.380 Purgosian getting into a helicopter.

00:47:36.440 But he was holding the door

00:47:37.580 with one hand

00:47:38.360 and his hand was intact.

00:47:40.400 But the real Purgosian

00:47:41.960 is missing part of a finger

00:47:43.380 on one hand.

00:47:45.400 And this is how clever

00:47:47.520 the internet is.

00:47:48.520 I was actually pretty impressed

00:47:49.760 with this.

00:47:50.740 So you see Purgosian's

00:47:51.960 getting into the helicopter

00:47:52.820 and it's obviously

00:47:53.900 he must be a body double

00:47:55.380 because he's got a

00:47:56.700 he's got like a COVID mask on.

00:47:59.000 I don't know why.

00:48:00.200 And his bodyguard is real.

00:48:03.160 But obviously the guy

00:48:04.560 getting into the helicopter

00:48:05.680 has an intact hand

00:48:07.340 and Purgosian doesn't.

00:48:08.820 So the internet was saying,

00:48:10.320 oh, it's, you know,

00:48:12.560 it's not the real guy.

00:48:13.980 He's got a body double.

00:48:14.720 Now, it does seem to me

00:48:18.580 like he should have

00:48:19.320 a body double.

00:48:20.220 If anyone were going

00:48:21.320 to have a body double,

00:48:22.520 I'd say he and Putin

00:48:24.020 would be high on the list.

00:48:25.680 But then somebody said,

00:48:27.240 wait a minute,

00:48:29.020 somebody may have

00:48:30.000 just reversed the image.

00:48:32.180 So it looks like

00:48:33.160 it's his left hand,

00:48:34.860 but it would be

00:48:35.420 his right hand.

00:48:36.320 And the evidence they gave,

00:48:37.720 the evidence they gave

00:48:39.040 is that he was opening

00:48:39.940 the, let's say,

00:48:41.760 the driver,

00:48:42.260 the pilot side door.

00:48:43.340 And there's no evidence

00:48:45.240 he's a helicopter pilot.

00:48:47.140 So if he were,

00:48:48.020 if he were opening

00:48:48.740 the pilot side

00:48:49.740 and he's not a pilot,

00:48:52.400 they may have reversed

00:48:53.320 the image.

00:48:53.900 So his right hand

00:48:54.540 was his left hand.

00:48:56.140 Now, further to that theory

00:48:58.960 that that was a fake

00:49:00.060 reverse picture,

00:49:01.800 CNN says the last time

00:49:03.360 he was seen

00:49:03.860 was in Rostov.

00:49:06.000 Now, the helicopter thing

00:49:07.320 was allegedly

00:49:07.960 after he left Rostov.

00:49:10.760 So CNN is just saying

00:49:12.080 the last time he was seen

00:49:13.080 was Rostov,

00:49:13.840 that means they're

00:49:14.400 discounting the helicopter.

00:49:16.100 So the helicopter,

00:49:17.220 I think we can write

00:49:18.260 that off as a fake.

00:49:20.260 But at first,

00:49:21.040 I thought it was something,

00:49:22.200 but it looked like a fake.

00:49:23.900 Don't know exactly.

00:49:25.600 But is there anybody,

00:49:26.800 is there anybody

00:49:29.160 who thinks Putin

00:49:29.900 was going to let him

00:49:30.740 run around free?

00:49:32.060 So I think CNN

00:49:36.000 is also reporting

00:49:36.940 that Ukraine

00:49:39.240 is saying,

00:49:40.540 Ukraine is saying,

00:49:41.620 so you can't trust them,

00:49:42.820 but Ukraine is saying

00:49:43.720 that the FSB,

00:49:46.340 you know,

00:49:46.500 the Russian,

00:49:47.280 whatever force that is,

00:49:49.060 the hit is already

00:49:50.160 put out

00:49:50.680 and they're already

00:49:51.480 trying to

00:49:52.000 take him out.

00:49:53.700 But you know why

00:49:54.460 I think that's bullshit?

00:49:56.180 Because it came

00:49:56.840 from Ukraine

00:49:57.480 and everything Ukraine

00:49:58.640 says is a lie.

00:49:59.740 Same with Russia.

00:50:00.400 during the war,

00:50:01.660 everything they say

00:50:02.240 is a lie.

00:50:05.600 But why would you

00:50:06.940 kill him?

00:50:08.880 If you're Putin,

00:50:10.080 the last thing

00:50:10.960 in the world

00:50:11.280 you want to do

00:50:11.720 is kill him.

00:50:12.920 Because he's the one

00:50:13.900 who knows all

00:50:14.820 of the information

00:50:15.580 you need.

00:50:16.880 There's only one person

00:50:17.840 who knows everything

00:50:18.880 you need to know.

00:50:19.860 It's him.

00:50:21.340 Everybody else knows

00:50:22.460 part of what they know.

00:50:24.320 They might know

00:50:24.860 what they did.

00:50:26.160 But they don't know

00:50:27.080 the scope

00:50:28.280 of the coup plot.

00:50:30.400 Only one person.

00:50:32.360 And there's no way

00:50:33.400 that Putin is going

00:50:34.480 to let that one person

00:50:35.640 who knows everything

00:50:37.160 that Putin needs to know,

00:50:38.480 which is,

00:50:38.940 where are my traitors?

00:50:40.040 There's no way

00:50:40.680 that they let him go.

00:50:42.200 He's being tortured

00:50:43.100 beyond any recognition.

00:50:45.880 He's definitely

00:50:46.560 going to talk.

00:50:48.280 One way or another,

00:50:49.840 he's definitely

00:50:50.460 going to talk.

00:50:52.280 And you're never

00:50:53.280 going to see him again

00:50:54.000 because he's not

00:50:54.560 going to survive

00:50:55.040 this process.

00:50:55.720 So that's

00:50:57.600 my prediction.

00:51:00.560 That he's

00:51:01.340 under Putin's control

00:51:02.960 and you'll never

00:51:04.320 see him again.

00:51:06.840 So watching

00:51:08.180 the news

00:51:09.460 slowly wake up

00:51:10.700 to the obvious,

00:51:11.860 the obvious being,

00:51:13.320 there's no way

00:51:14.380 in hell they let him

00:51:15.140 just go to live

00:51:16.140 his life in Belarus.

00:51:17.960 Are we serious?

00:51:19.680 That's going to look

00:51:20.520 so stupid

00:51:21.300 in retrospect,

00:51:22.360 won't it?

00:51:22.720 In the moment,

00:51:25.960 people were willing

00:51:26.780 to accept it

00:51:27.460 because that's what

00:51:28.600 people were reporting.

00:51:30.200 But don't you think

00:51:30.940 we're only maybe

00:51:32.200 a month away

00:51:33.180 from laughing

00:51:34.380 about how stupid

00:51:35.240 that was?

00:51:36.400 Right.

00:51:36.940 He's just going to

00:51:37.560 let him get on a plane

00:51:38.620 and leave the country.

00:51:41.040 Of course.

00:51:41.960 That's exactly

00:51:42.600 what you do

00:51:43.120 when somebody

00:51:43.620 plans to kill you

00:51:45.260 and take over

00:51:46.800 your country

00:51:47.260 and slay your family,

00:51:49.180 probably.

00:51:50.400 Yeah,

00:51:50.640 that's what you do.

00:51:51.620 You let him fly

00:51:52.460 to Belarus,

00:51:53.240 have a nice life.

00:51:54.560 It's just going

00:51:55.040 to seem so silly

00:51:55.980 in retrospect.

00:51:57.280 And the entire

00:51:58.100 news business

00:51:58.880 reported it

00:51:59.540 like it happened.

00:52:02.140 Were you shocked

00:52:02.980 by that?

00:52:03.480 I think both

00:52:04.120 the left

00:52:04.560 and the right media

00:52:05.500 all reported

00:52:06.980 he went to Belarus

00:52:07.860 like that was

00:52:08.780 actually possible.

00:52:10.620 I mean,

00:52:10.940 I guess it's

00:52:11.420 physically possible,

00:52:12.420 but it's not possible

00:52:13.900 in the real world

00:52:14.840 that we know

00:52:15.580 and understand.

00:52:16.740 That was never possible.

00:52:18.680 Why did they

00:52:19.240 believe that?

00:52:19.840 Now,

00:52:22.460 can I say this

00:52:24.040 as clearly

00:52:24.900 as you need it

00:52:25.680 to be said?

00:52:26.900 If Pogosian

00:52:27.880 shows up alive

00:52:28.880 tomorrow in Belarus,

00:52:30.740 well,

00:52:31.160 aren't I the asshole?

00:52:34.100 We can all agree

00:52:35.120 on that, right?

00:52:36.000 If he shows up alive

00:52:37.540 and, you know,

00:52:38.560 it's confirmed

00:52:39.060 he's really alive,

00:52:40.500 can we all agree

00:52:41.220 I'm a total asshole?

00:52:42.820 Everybody?

00:52:43.660 Will everybody

00:52:44.420 take that?

00:52:44.960 I will not even

00:52:48.380 block you.

00:52:49.460 If that happens,

00:52:50.180 I won't even block you.

00:52:51.100 You should get

00:52:51.540 skid out of here.

00:52:52.000 You asshole.

00:52:53.460 You asshole.

00:52:54.440 The news was right.

00:52:55.400 You were wrong.

00:52:56.160 Bah, bah, bah.

00:52:57.520 Well, he's definitely

00:52:58.100 alive.

00:52:59.580 Well, I won't say

00:53:00.320 definitely.

00:53:01.260 He's most likely

00:53:02.340 alive because Putin

00:53:03.400 needs him alive

00:53:04.060 at the moment.

00:53:06.700 All right.

00:53:07.320 So if I'm wrong

00:53:08.000 on this,

00:53:08.660 you'll let me know.

00:53:09.560 You have my blessing

00:53:10.540 to do that.

00:53:11.260 That is the conclusion

00:53:14.060 of the greatest

00:53:16.080 live stream

00:53:16.780 in the history

00:53:17.620 of 4th of July

00:53:19.620 live streams.

00:53:21.360 All right, everybody,

00:53:22.280 tell me the

00:53:23.160 predicted high temperature

00:53:25.820 where you are today.

00:53:27.740 Just give me

00:53:28.260 the high temperature

00:53:29.140 wherever you are today.

00:53:32.300 102,

00:53:33.500 70s,

00:53:34.900 100,

00:53:35.360 90s,

00:53:35.920 100,

00:53:37.040 105,

00:53:37.960 108.

00:53:38.640 Wow.

00:53:39.220 That's the winner.

00:53:39.900 108 is the winner.

00:53:41.260 108,

00:53:41.940 is that Arizona?

00:53:43.560 Who's got the 108,

00:53:44.920 Arizona?

00:53:47.240 100,

00:53:48.080 92.

00:53:50.280 Well,

00:53:51.280 where I live,

00:53:53.080 we're coming out

00:53:53.780 of the best month

00:53:55.700 of weather

00:53:56.140 I've ever seen

00:53:56.920 in my life.

00:53:58.400 Never,

00:53:59.140 ever had a month

00:54:00.160 like the last month

00:54:01.540 in California.

00:54:02.760 Every day

00:54:03.420 it was room temperature

00:54:04.340 with not much wind.

00:54:05.840 It was unsettling.

00:54:08.240 It felt like I died

00:54:09.380 and weather

00:54:10.360 didn't work anymore.

00:54:11.840 It was just the same

00:54:12.980 inside and outside.

00:54:14.040 There was no difference.

00:54:15.520 It was the weirdest month.

00:54:18.900 Yeah,

00:54:19.120 last year was fires,

00:54:20.320 this year

00:54:20.740 not so much.

00:54:22.100 So apparently

00:54:22.620 California is doing

00:54:23.540 a better job

00:54:24.280 of managing

00:54:24.860 the forest fires.

00:54:27.240 I'm going to say that

00:54:28.000 with a question

00:54:28.700 at the end,

00:54:29.360 the forest fires?

00:54:30.920 Because

00:54:31.360 there's no smoke

00:54:33.080 and last year

00:54:34.600 I think it was

00:54:35.000 a little better as well.

00:54:36.520 So maybe,

00:54:38.060 maybe they've

00:54:39.200 got a little

00:54:40.760 handle on things.

00:54:42.740 Maybe.

00:54:43.440 Maybe it's just luck.

00:54:44.620 I don't know.

00:54:48.440 Everything burned already?

00:54:49.460 Well,

00:54:49.600 there's that.

00:54:51.600 Okay.

00:54:53.080 Well,

00:54:53.420 it's a cool 87

00:54:54.420 in Florida.

00:54:55.000 How about that?

00:54:55.860 Sarah.

00:55:03.560 That's too many

00:55:04.320 capitals,

00:55:04.960 Sarah.

00:55:05.120 I'm going to hide you

00:55:05.800 on this channel.

00:55:11.320 There's one thing

00:55:12.180 you can be sure of.

00:55:13.380 If somebody

00:55:13.900 sends a long message

00:55:15.560 in all caps,

00:55:17.020 what's the one thing

00:55:17.900 you can be sure of?

00:55:20.040 They're going to send

00:55:20.860 exactly the same message

00:55:22.180 multiple times.

00:55:23.940 The one thing

00:55:24.620 you can know for sure

00:55:25.660 is if you see

00:55:26.440 lots of caps,

00:55:27.460 oh,

00:55:27.620 that one's coming back.

00:55:29.080 There it is again.

00:55:30.060 And there it is again.

00:55:31.260 And there it is again.

00:55:32.840 Because if you're

00:55:33.900 going to write

00:55:34.180 in all caps,

00:55:34.800 you're not going

00:55:35.260 to give up.

00:55:36.280 You're not a quitter.

00:55:37.340 I like it.

00:55:37.800 You're not a quitter,

00:55:38.540 Sarah.

00:55:40.060 No quitter.

00:55:42.160 All right.

00:55:42.860 Does anybody

00:55:43.400 have a question?

00:55:44.280 I'm just vamping

00:55:45.760 until we're

00:55:46.380 at the top of the hour.

00:55:48.540 There's a reason

00:55:49.220 for that.

00:55:49.680 I'll tell you later.

00:55:52.360 All right.

00:55:52.900 All right.

00:55:55.660 RFK can reframe

00:55:59.100 affirmative action

00:56:00.340 by saying,

00:56:01.700 well,

00:56:02.740 no,

00:56:03.380 that would work

00:56:04.140 for Republicans.

00:56:05.720 So the idea was

00:56:06.600 that RFK can say,

00:56:07.840 the courts have decided

00:56:08.900 on affirmative action,

00:56:10.440 so let's not look

00:56:12.040 backwards.

00:56:13.580 Let's fix

00:56:14.460 K through 12.

00:56:15.920 Actually,

00:56:16.340 that's pretty good.

00:56:17.940 That's pretty good.

00:56:18.880 Because that would be,

00:56:21.560 that's the same,

00:56:22.320 that's the same advice

00:56:24.420 I give Trump

00:56:25.860 and the other Republicans

00:56:26.980 on abortion.

00:56:28.500 If you're running

00:56:29.260 for president,

00:56:30.440 the best answer

00:56:31.500 on abortion is,

00:56:32.880 it's no longer

00:56:33.780 a president's question.

00:56:35.620 It's been sent

00:56:36.340 to the states.

00:56:37.420 We've driven

00:56:38.160 the decision down

00:56:39.060 closer to the individual.

00:56:40.840 You do have

00:56:41.660 a fight in the states.

00:56:43.220 But I'm the president,

00:56:44.400 and we've now allocated

00:56:47.440 the decision-making

00:56:48.360 to where it belongs,

00:56:50.140 and I'd like the states

00:56:51.520 to do a good job

00:56:53.180 on that.

00:56:54.500 So I think you could,

00:56:55.700 you know,

00:56:56.680 you could weasel you

00:56:57.580 away out of the abortion

00:56:58.500 thing,

00:56:59.520 but maybe you could

00:57:00.560 do the same

00:57:00.980 by saying that

00:57:01.840 K through 12

00:57:02.460 is the problem.

00:57:03.200 The trouble is,

00:57:03.900 RFK Jr.

00:57:04.700 is pro-union,

00:57:06.960 right?

00:57:07.760 I don't know

00:57:08.420 if that's true.

00:57:09.260 But is he pro-speaker,

00:57:10.540 pro-teacher's union?

00:57:14.400 If he's pro-teacher's union,

00:57:16.620 there's no place

00:57:17.360 to go with that.

00:57:19.640 You know,

00:57:20.020 a Republican could say,

00:57:21.680 all right,

00:57:22.640 now that we've,

00:57:24.040 now that,

00:57:24.600 now that the Supreme Court

00:57:26.460 has ruled,

00:57:27.960 let's fix K through 12.

00:57:30.680 That's a strong,

00:57:31.500 it's stronger

00:57:32.240 from a Republican

00:57:33.160 who wants to get rid

00:57:34.080 of a union.

00:57:35.220 That would be

00:57:35.800 a stronger message.

00:57:36.880 Because then you have

00:57:37.500 an actual plan.

00:57:38.900 If you say,

00:57:39.660 let's fix schools,

00:57:43.020 Cheryl,

00:57:43.400 you seem like

00:57:44.320 a dumb piece of shit,

00:57:45.700 so you're going

00:57:46.300 to go away.

00:57:47.380 Because I know

00:57:47.880 that comment's

00:57:48.540 coming back,

00:57:49.660 those old comments.

00:57:51.780 All right.

00:57:53.940 Cheryl Jackson,

00:57:55.260 go away.

00:57:59.360 Will Joe leave

00:58:00.320 for health reasons?

00:58:01.160 That's my guess.

00:58:02.560 Yeah,

00:58:02.820 if Biden drops out,

00:58:05.420 it will be because

00:58:06.340 there's a, quote,

00:58:07.360 new health reason.

00:58:09.220 And he'll act like,

00:58:10.240 you know,

00:58:10.460 I was perfectly good

00:58:11.640 until I got this bunion.

00:58:14.620 But this bunion

00:58:15.440 is going to take me out.

00:58:16.900 I cannot be a president

00:58:18.100 with a bunion like this.

00:58:19.820 And it's going to be

00:58:20.380 some bullshit health problem

00:58:21.800 that you say,

00:58:23.180 no,

00:58:23.420 I think the bigger problem

00:58:24.380 was your brain

00:58:25.000 stopped working a while ago.

00:58:26.720 That looks like

00:58:27.400 the bigger problem.

00:58:28.780 Yeah,

00:58:29.000 bone spurs.

00:58:29.960 He's got a bone spur.

00:58:31.400 I can't be president

00:58:32.440 with this bone spur.

00:58:34.260 My sleep,

00:58:34.980 do you think

00:58:35.600 the sleep apnea

00:58:36.440 is the cats on the roof?

00:58:38.940 It might be.

00:58:41.620 It could be

00:58:42.080 that the sleep apnea

00:58:43.040 is that they're trying

00:58:44.620 to ease you into.

00:58:47.520 But no,

00:58:48.080 that story started

00:58:48.800 because he still had

00:58:49.900 the indentation

00:58:50.980 on his chin.

00:58:51.920 So I don't think

00:58:52.920 that got started

00:58:53.600 intentionally.

00:58:55.100 It just might be

00:58:56.380 coincidentally advantageous.

00:59:02.480 How did I choose?

00:59:03.760 What?

00:59:04.500 Hairstyle for Dilbert's boss?

00:59:07.080 It evolved over time.

00:59:08.940 It started out

00:59:10.000 with Larry Fink's hairstyle.

00:59:13.120 You know,

00:59:13.360 Larry Fink,

00:59:13.960 CEO of BlackRock.

00:59:16.020 So he's got

00:59:16.660 the pointy hair boss

00:59:17.720 hair,

00:59:18.420 but without the pointy part.

00:59:20.160 He's got the two sides.

00:59:22.540 So that's how

00:59:23.200 the boss

00:59:24.080 in Dilbert

00:59:24.620 was originally.

00:59:26.060 But one day

00:59:26.840 I gave it a little height.

00:59:28.340 I think accidentally.

00:59:29.760 I was just penciling

00:59:31.020 and it got a little higher

00:59:32.060 on one side

00:59:32.580 and I said,

00:59:33.000 oh,

00:59:33.200 I'll make the other side

00:59:33.860 a little higher.

00:59:34.620 And then when it started

00:59:35.520 to remind me of horns,

00:59:36.800 I went full horn.

00:59:39.820 I was like,

00:59:40.160 oh,

00:59:40.340 I'm going to

00:59:41.180 just make them

00:59:42.260 full horns.

00:59:45.060 Yeah.

00:59:47.460 How long

00:59:48.120 before you had

00:59:48.620 to copyright Dilbert?

00:59:49.660 Let me tell you

00:59:51.080 about copyrights.

00:59:53.100 Can somebody

00:59:53.840 answer the question,

00:59:54.940 how long

00:59:55.540 did it take me

00:59:56.200 to copyright

00:59:57.000 the first Dilbert

00:59:58.960 that I drew?

00:59:59.980 What's the answer?

01:00:01.740 Somebody says,

01:00:02.400 one minute?

01:00:03.060 Oh,

01:00:03.360 damn it,

01:00:03.640 you know the answer.

01:00:04.720 The answer is

01:00:05.300 zero seconds.

01:00:06.840 It took me

01:00:07.600 zero seconds

01:00:08.380 to copyright it.

01:00:09.860 Do you know why?

01:00:12.560 Because copyright

01:00:13.440 is immediate.

01:00:14.620 It's on creation.

01:00:17.980 So watch me create

01:00:19.280 another copyrighted image.

01:00:23.200 Here we go.

01:00:31.460 There we go.

01:00:32.180 Copyrighted.

01:00:35.320 Copyrighted.

01:00:36.120 Right there.

01:00:37.040 Okay.

01:00:37.520 Technically,

01:00:38.100 you couldn't

01:00:38.440 copyright that

01:00:39.080 because it's

01:00:39.460 a stick figure.

01:00:40.940 But if I

01:00:41.840 drawn something

01:00:42.360 that wasn't

01:00:43.000 a universal

01:00:43.760 piece of art,

01:00:45.460 it would be

01:00:45.940 copyrighted

01:00:46.600 the moment

01:00:46.960 I drew it.

01:00:48.840 People confuse

01:00:49.960 registering

01:00:50.620 the copyright

01:00:51.300 with having

01:00:52.620 the copyright.

01:00:53.960 Registering

01:00:54.400 the copyright

01:00:54.940 is what you do

01:00:55.820 as a legal

01:00:57.500 precaution

01:00:58.200 in case somebody

01:00:59.720 claims they made

01:01:00.640 it first

01:01:01.140 and you can't

01:01:01.920 prove it.

01:01:03.400 Because if you,

01:01:04.240 let's say you've got

01:01:04.940 a piece of paper

01:01:06.200 you drew on

01:01:07.020 and somebody else

01:01:07.620 has a piece of paper

01:01:08.360 they drew on

01:01:09.040 five years later,

01:01:10.760 well,

01:01:11.000 how do you know?

01:01:12.640 I suppose there's

01:01:13.440 some science,

01:01:14.120 but generally,

01:01:15.340 it's hard to know

01:01:15.800 who did something

01:01:16.380 first.

01:01:16.880 But if one of

01:01:18.480 those draws it

01:01:19.380 and then submits

01:01:20.160 it to the

01:01:20.640 government's

01:01:23.700 copyright office,

01:01:24.900 then they have

01:01:26.180 the superior

01:01:26.720 claim,

01:01:27.900 which doesn't

01:01:28.580 mean that they'll

01:01:29.100 win.

01:01:30.180 Because the other

01:01:30.800 person might have,

01:01:31.800 let's say,

01:01:32.060 a videotape

01:01:32.900 that showed them

01:01:34.640 in real time

01:01:35.400 making the

01:01:35.920 original drawing,

01:01:37.120 in which case

01:01:38.240 they could go to

01:01:38.840 court and they

01:01:39.840 could take that

01:01:40.480 copyright away

01:01:41.220 from the lying

01:01:42.520 person who said

01:01:43.280 they did it first

01:01:44.060 but copyrighted

01:01:45.080 at first.

01:01:47.000 So,

01:01:47.560 now,

01:01:49.040 the other thing

01:01:49.580 that people are

01:01:50.460 getting terribly,

01:01:52.020 terribly wrong

01:01:52.560 is the story

01:01:53.800 about Ivanka

01:01:54.600 Trump getting

01:01:56.040 some trademarks

01:01:57.040 in China.

01:01:58.260 You know that

01:01:58.760 story?

01:02:00.300 And the people

01:02:01.620 on the left

01:02:02.120 who are artists,

01:02:03.300 they don't know

01:02:04.020 the difference

01:02:04.460 between a trademark

01:02:05.480 and a patent.

01:02:07.340 So they're like,

01:02:08.180 oh, China's

01:02:08.900 giving them

01:02:09.300 these trademarks.

01:02:10.880 Oh, you know,

01:02:11.760 favorable,

01:02:12.760 favorable attention.

01:02:14.180 They got these

01:02:14.640 trademarks.

01:02:15.900 I have trademarks

01:02:17.180 in China.

01:02:18.540 Do you know

01:02:18.880 how hard it is

01:02:19.580 to get a trademark

01:02:20.280 in China?

01:02:21.980 You just ask

01:02:22.920 for it.

01:02:25.600 There's just

01:02:26.180 an office

01:02:26.660 that gives them

01:02:27.180 to you.

01:02:28.480 And they don't

01:02:29.000 tell you

01:02:29.340 you can't have them.

01:02:30.880 You just pay

01:02:31.680 your little fee

01:02:32.240 and you get it.

01:02:33.300 The only thing

01:02:34.280 that you have

01:02:34.760 to make sure

01:02:35.300 you've done,

01:02:36.160 and maybe

01:02:36.700 the trademark

01:02:38.380 office does this

01:02:39.200 for you,

01:02:39.740 is to make sure

01:02:40.660 somebody didn't

01:02:41.300 already use it.

01:02:42.000 If it's not

01:02:44.100 already used,

01:02:45.620 it's yours.

01:02:47.020 So Ivanka

01:02:47.800 submitted some

01:02:49.920 trademark requests

01:02:51.020 for something

01:02:51.600 that nobody

01:02:52.140 else was using,

01:02:53.620 and some

01:02:54.320 bureaucrat

01:02:54.960 in a Chinese

01:02:56.200 bureaucracy

01:02:57.500 somewhere,

01:02:59.140 you know,

01:02:59.380 some nameless

01:03:00.080 bureaucrat

01:03:00.840 looked at it

01:03:01.720 and said,

01:03:02.740 yep,

01:03:03.400 that was it.

01:03:05.560 That's the

01:03:06.600 whole story.

01:03:08.140 There's nothing

01:03:08.800 left out.

01:03:10.540 But on social

01:03:11.440 media,

01:03:12.200 you'll see

01:03:12.640 all the

01:03:12.940 drunken trolls.

01:03:14.140 Wow,

01:03:14.700 Ivanka got

01:03:15.440 copyrights

01:03:16.060 from China,

01:03:16.620 so it must

01:03:16.980 be Chinese

01:03:17.560 collusion.

01:03:19.820 Learn what

01:03:20.520 a trademark

01:03:20.960 is,

01:03:22.720 and then

01:03:26.440 can tell you

01:03:27.120 trademark

01:03:28.300 is just

01:03:28.900 paperwork.

01:03:29.660 Everybody

01:03:29.920 can do it.

01:03:30.920 Do you

01:03:31.160 want a

01:03:31.420 trademark

01:03:31.680 in China?

01:03:32.860 You could

01:03:34.160 have one

01:03:34.540 in a week.

01:03:35.540 You just

01:03:36.080 hire a lawyer

01:03:36.680 who does

01:03:37.080 that,

01:03:37.700 and they

01:03:38.160 submit some

01:03:38.680 paperwork.

01:03:39.840 Well,

01:03:40.020 it might

01:03:40.240 take more

01:03:40.680 than a week

01:03:41.020 to approve

01:03:41.680 it,

01:03:41.900 but it

01:03:44.160 China doesn't

01:03:45.000 want to not

01:03:45.580 approve it.

01:03:46.700 They have

01:03:47.040 no incentive

01:03:47.540 to not

01:03:47.980 approve it.

01:03:49.080 They want

01:03:49.720 people to do

01:03:50.260 business,

01:03:50.720 and they don't

01:03:51.060 want their

01:03:51.420 trademarks to

01:03:52.080 overlap.

01:03:53.200 That's the

01:03:53.560 whole story.
