Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2165 Scott Adams Theme For Today： Daddy Is Coming Home. Bring Coffee

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

00:00:09.420 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:11.380 There's never been a better moment in your life, and it's just going to get better for the next hour or so.

00:00:17.220 And if you'd like this experience to reach levels that nobody even imagined were possible,

00:00:23.220 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stine, a canteen, joke or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:28.840 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:32.540 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:39.360 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:00:46.480 Ah. Delightful.

00:00:52.000 Well, if you were a subscriber to Dilbert Reborn, either on Twitter,

00:00:56.980 you can subscribe, just see my profile,

00:01:00.300 or on the Locals platform, where you see lots more than Dilbert,

00:01:04.580 you would know that today's comic features the boss character

00:01:09.360 who forgets to roll down his windows in the car wash.

00:01:13.540 Now I thought to myself, surely that's never happened to a real person in the real world, has it?

00:01:23.020 Well, it took me about a minute for somebody on Locals to say that they had that same issue.

00:01:29.480 And it was just funny the way they described it.

00:01:31.660 So a gentleman rolled, you know what the car wash is,

00:01:35.340 where you put your car onto the conveyor belt,

00:01:39.520 and then you just stay in your car as it goes through the car wash,

00:01:42.820 and all the jets and stuff are shooting on you until you're done.

00:01:46.000 And he tells a story of he's sitting in the car wash,

00:01:50.080 you know, you go in the inside,

00:01:51.820 and he's sitting there, and he happens to look to his left

00:01:55.600 and notices that his driver's side window is done,

00:02:00.080 and he's looking right at a nozzle.

00:02:03.440 He's looking directly at a nozzle, just looking back at him.

00:02:06.620 Bam.

00:02:08.500 So I guess he got facialized in the car wash,

00:02:12.100 which to me is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.

00:02:14.520 I just imagine that moment where, you know,

00:02:19.540 because you go into the car wash,

00:02:20.780 and you think you've got 10 minutes of not doing anything.

00:02:25.580 So, like, your brain goes into sort of a,

00:02:27.780 I guess I'll just be sitting here for 10 minutes mode.

00:02:30.360 I just imagine sitting there, just casually glancing over

00:02:33.660 as you're looking directly into the face of a nozzle.

00:02:39.540 Anyway, I thought it was funny.

00:02:40.860 All right.

00:02:42.500 Today's theme is Daddy's Coming Home.

00:02:48.660 Daddy's Coming Home.

00:02:50.260 That's the theme.

00:02:51.360 You think it's about Trump?

00:02:53.180 It's a little bit about Trump,

00:02:54.840 but it's bigger than that.

00:02:57.640 So, and we'll put together a few stories

00:03:01.600 to make this theme today.

00:03:04.380 I saw a tweet on Twitter,

00:03:07.440 which is where the tweets are.

00:03:09.120 By the way, if you're going to look for a tweet,

00:03:11.140 go to Twitter.

00:03:12.140 That's where they are.

00:03:14.300 From David Ritter.

00:03:16.760 And there was a news story,

00:03:19.020 but that's irrelevant to the tweet.

00:03:21.500 And he was replying to me,

00:03:22.760 and he says,

00:03:23.600 society don't need men, 1.00

00:03:27.460 don't need them to provide,

00:03:29.120 don't need them to reproduce,

00:03:31.620 don't need them to survive.

00:03:34.000 And he says,

00:03:36.340 argue the merits if you want,

00:03:37.580 but those are the facts.

00:03:39.500 What do you think?

00:03:41.120 Do you think that this is a good statement?

00:03:43.480 Society doesn't need men, 1.00

00:03:45.400 don't need them,

00:03:46.120 this is said by a man,

00:03:47.680 don't need them to provide,

00:03:48.980 produce, or survive.

00:03:50.860 What do you think?

00:03:51.640 Well, I tweeted back at David,

00:03:56.760 and I reminded him that this is 2023.

00:04:00.860 He thought it was 2022.

00:04:03.560 Well, it's an honest mistake.

00:04:05.080 It's not a mistake.

00:04:06.100 In 2022, you have to tweet things like, 1.00

00:04:08.940 men are stupid, idiots, 1.00

00:04:10.580 they add nothing to the world. 1.00

00:04:13.240 If they all died tomorrow, 0.99

00:04:14.720 everything would be much better. 0.97

00:04:16.440 There'd be no wars,

00:04:17.480 and women would be designing microchips, 1.00

00:04:19.380 like crazy.

00:04:20.140 2022, am I right?

00:04:23.380 Do you remember 2022?

00:04:24.980 Where he had to say,

00:04:26.080 the ladies can do it better than the men, 1.00

00:04:28.500 in everything.

00:04:30.440 They don't need you for anything.

00:04:33.220 No, that was 2022.

00:04:35.300 In 2023, you could actually say,

00:04:38.500 you know, we would be living an agrarian,

00:04:43.280 if we're lucky,

00:04:45.240 lifestyle if there had been only women. 0.97

00:04:48.420 You get that, right?

00:04:51.120 There would be no real technology.

00:04:54.380 No, I get it.

00:04:55.420 There are plenty of women 1.00

00:04:56.240 who are great at technology.

00:04:58.500 Can we take a pause?

00:05:00.580 All the people who are watching

00:05:02.180 who can't understand the concept

00:05:04.640 of large groups

00:05:06.360 sometimes have members within them

00:05:09.760 that are not exactly like the average.

00:05:12.820 Did all of you know that?

00:05:13.880 I don't,

00:05:16.620 because the people

00:05:17.500 who don't watch this live stream,

00:05:19.160 they don't know that.

00:05:20.560 Just go to Twitter,

00:05:21.360 you can find out.

00:05:22.380 They think that if a few people

00:05:23.980 were dangerous during the protest,

00:05:26.660 it's called a revolution.

00:05:28.720 That would be an insurrection.

00:05:30.420 So if there's a lot of people

00:05:31.680 who are just protesting,

00:05:33.320 but a few of them are,

00:05:35.100 you know,

00:05:35.480 actually want to overthrow the government,

00:05:36.900 then the whole thing

00:05:38.320 is called an insurrection, right? 1.00

00:05:41.080 That's what the fucking idiots 1.00

00:05:42.780 who think that they're helping think. 1.00

00:05:45.920 So we don't need them here.

00:05:47.900 So if you're in the group of people

00:05:49.540 who thinks,

00:05:50.360 my God,

00:05:51.080 did you just say

00:05:52.820 that women can't do technology? 1.00

00:05:55.700 No.

00:05:57.020 No, nobody said that.

00:05:59.020 Nothing even similar to that.

00:06:02.000 I did say that

00:06:03.240 if only women exist, 1.00

00:06:04.460 there would be no technology industry.

00:06:06.900 Which is true.

00:06:08.180 But you couldn't say that in 2022.

00:06:11.240 2023? 1.00

00:06:12.880 Free speech, bitches. 1.00

00:06:14.680 I can say anything I want. 1.00

00:06:16.260 And the bitches replies 1.00

00:06:17.460 to the men and the women, 1.00

00:06:19.000 in this case.

00:06:21.020 Just so you know.

00:06:22.560 Anyway, so let's get that

00:06:23.840 2022 thinking out of there.

00:06:25.780 Men can actually do things.

00:06:28.540 Men can do things.

00:06:30.140 I know.

00:06:30.980 It's surprising.

00:06:32.480 I would like to tag on to that thought

00:06:35.140 with,

00:06:36.480 you were watching

00:06:37.660 the Jonah Hill story.

00:06:39.920 Jonah Hill

00:06:40.420 told his girlfriend

00:06:42.060 in a text message

00:06:43.220 that became public

00:06:44.360 that he had

00:06:45.980 certain expectations

00:06:47.420 of her

00:06:47.940 and if she did not meet them,

00:06:50.300 he did not want to be

00:06:51.180 her boyfriend,

00:06:51.880 no hard feelings.

00:06:53.040 And the expectations

00:06:54.080 were mostly around

00:06:55.120 time that she would spend

00:06:56.460 with other men,

00:06:57.620 et cetera.

00:06:58.220 Mostly about that.

00:06:59.160 And what did

00:07:01.060 a therapist say

00:07:02.040 when the therapist

00:07:03.200 wanted to weigh in on it?

00:07:05.640 That the Jonah

00:07:07.180 had demonstrated

00:07:08.320 lack of respect

00:07:09.380 for his girlfriend's

00:07:10.840 autonomy and individuality.

00:07:13.180 And that his message

00:07:14.520 is more about

00:07:15.100 restricting Sarah's behavior

00:07:16.680 to sue his comfort levels

00:07:18.980 and insecurities

00:07:19.860 rather than expressing

00:07:22.100 his feelings or needs

00:07:23.340 in a healthy manner.

00:07:24.080 Can I give you

00:07:27.140 some advice?

00:07:28.800 This is for the men.

00:07:30.460 This is just for the men.

00:07:33.200 Couples therapy,

00:07:35.260 any kind of couples therapy,

00:07:37.440 is designed

00:07:38.240 for the woman

00:07:40.400 to be told

00:07:40.960 she's doing everything right

00:07:42.260 and for the therapist

00:07:43.920 to tell the man 1.00

00:07:44.760 that he's a fucking asshole. 1.00

00:07:46.720 That's all it is. 1.00

00:07:48.320 And the reason for that

00:07:49.460 is that no therapist

00:07:50.420 can say anything

00:07:51.440 that a woman 0.98

00:07:52.080 would disagree with

00:07:53.100 and still stay

00:07:54.140 in the business.

00:07:55.580 But a therapist

00:07:56.320 can disagree with men

00:07:57.560 all day long

00:07:59.200 and it's fine.

00:08:01.100 No problem.

00:08:02.840 So,

00:08:03.360 for the same reason that,

00:08:04.480 sorry,

00:08:05.960 for the same reason

00:08:06.800 I say eventually

00:08:08.040 all shoe salesmen

00:08:09.840 will be people

00:08:10.500 with a foot fetish

00:08:11.340 because free market,

00:08:14.220 if you let the free market

00:08:15.940 do its thing,

00:08:17.440 money will determine

00:08:18.620 what everybody does.

00:08:20.200 Right?

00:08:20.280 You couldn't be a therapist

00:08:21.820 and tell women the truth.

00:08:23.100 There's some 2023

00:08:25.840 truth for you.

00:08:27.580 You could not be

00:08:28.600 a professional therapist

00:08:29.900 and tell women the truth.

00:08:32.200 You couldn't do it.

00:08:33.400 Not and keep your job.

00:08:34.920 Now,

00:08:35.220 I have personal experience

00:08:36.360 with this.

00:08:37.260 I actually had

00:08:38.080 a couples therapist

00:08:39.340 in my first marriage

00:08:40.800 tell me directly

00:08:42.080 it's basically

00:08:42.800 I can't have opinions.

00:08:46.040 That was it.

00:08:47.160 I can't have opinions

00:08:48.020 about what I want

00:08:48.860 or what's good

00:08:49.480 or what works for me

00:08:50.960 or what doesn't work for me.

00:08:51.900 Just can't.

00:08:53.920 Now,

00:08:54.420 do you think

00:08:54.800 they tell women that?

00:08:56.340 No,

00:08:56.560 they tell women 0.51

00:08:57.060 the opposite.

00:08:58.000 That their feelings

00:08:58.840 are important 1.00

00:08:59.340 and their man's an asshole 1.00

00:09:00.360 for not giving them 1.00

00:09:02.060 everything they want.

00:09:03.840 Right?

00:09:04.120 Do you think

00:09:04.560 Jonah Hill's life

00:09:05.460 is going to be improved

00:09:06.360 if he takes

00:09:06.940 this unethical,

00:09:08.840 in my opinion,

00:09:10.160 therapist

00:09:11.180 suggestion

00:09:12.520 that he let his girlfriend

00:09:14.300 do whatever she wants

00:09:15.480 and if she wants

00:09:17.380 to spend the day

00:09:18.140 with handsome surfers

00:09:19.480 that's just her choice 0.53

00:09:22.420 and if he's insecure

00:09:23.780 about that

00:09:24.520 if she has some insecurity

00:09:27.500 if he has some insecurities

00:09:28.780 about his hot girlfriend

00:09:30.640 spending time

00:09:32.020 with other men

00:09:33.400 well,

00:09:34.960 that's just some insecurity

00:09:36.000 on his part.

00:09:36.560 But of course

00:09:37.780 this would be the same

00:09:38.660 if you reversed it,

00:09:39.600 right?

00:09:40.340 If you went to the therapist

00:09:41.620 and said,

00:09:42.740 Jonah,

00:09:43.680 basically,

00:09:44.480 he's gone for

00:09:45.700 days at a time

00:09:46.980 and he travels

00:09:47.600 with his ex-girlfriend.

00:09:49.720 What?

00:09:50.360 No,

00:09:50.620 they travel together

00:09:51.480 but they're just friends.

00:09:55.160 That's okay,

00:09:55.860 right?

00:09:56.660 Well,

00:09:56.840 why don't you trust Jonah?

00:09:58.620 Well,

00:09:59.400 why can't you trust him

00:10:00.560 and let him have his autonomy?

00:10:02.100 He told you

00:10:02.940 he's not in love

00:10:03.760 with his ex-girlfriend.

00:10:05.360 He just,

00:10:05.980 they always go on vacations.

00:10:07.240 What's wrong with that?

00:10:08.380 Give the man

00:10:09.100 a little autonomy,

00:10:10.060 will you?

00:10:10.960 How about a little trust?

00:10:12.120 Why stop?

00:10:12.520 Stop being such a narcissist

00:10:13.760 and let him have

00:10:15.540 a little autonomy.

00:10:16.820 Go on vacation

00:10:17.540 with his girlfriend.

00:10:18.800 What's wrong with that?

00:10:19.900 Well,

00:10:20.160 no therapist

00:10:21.120 would recommend that,

00:10:22.180 would they?

00:10:23.440 Because he's the guy.

00:10:25.780 If you're a man,

00:10:27.220 do not go to a therapist,

00:10:29.560 a marriage therapist,

00:10:31.080 relationship therapist.

00:10:32.280 Regular therapist,

00:10:33.240 I don't have an opinion.

00:10:35.140 But the marriage counseling,

00:10:37.260 it's just not a real thing.

00:10:39.580 Let me tell you for sure,

00:10:41.000 it's not a real thing.

00:10:43.040 It's just somebody telling you 1.00

00:10:44.560 that the guy's an asshole 1.00

00:10:45.500 and the woman is wonderful 1.00

00:10:47.480 and she needs more support.

00:10:49.480 That's the whole game.

00:10:51.760 All right.

00:10:53.640 Number,

00:10:54.480 next story is the Amish,

00:10:57.020 allegedly,

00:10:58.160 according to some study,

00:11:00.440 don't have chronic health problems

00:11:02.400 in kids like everybody else.

00:11:05.040 So,

00:11:05.540 in the modern world,

00:11:06.860 people have all these

00:11:07.620 chronic problems

00:11:08.660 from more heart disease

00:11:10.020 to asthma

00:11:10.940 to all kinds of stuff.

00:11:11.920 and we're told

00:11:13.300 that the Amish children

00:11:14.960 do not have that.

00:11:16.520 Number one,

00:11:17.800 do you believe that's true?

00:11:20.840 Yeah,

00:11:21.340 there's the question.

00:11:22.040 Is it true?

00:11:23.180 Do you believe it's true?

00:11:24.720 Or is it

00:11:25.540 too

00:11:26.440 right on the nose?

00:11:29.940 All right.

00:11:30.640 First,

00:11:31.340 the first thing I would say

00:11:32.640 is that I'm highly skeptical

00:11:34.200 that it's true.

00:11:36.740 Highly skeptical

00:11:37.660 that it's true.

00:11:38.980 But it might be.

00:11:40.620 It might be.

00:11:41.960 I also don't rule it out.

00:11:43.900 So,

00:11:44.200 I have no argument

00:11:45.220 against it

00:11:46.060 except that

00:11:46.820 all data is fake.

00:11:49.360 You know,

00:11:49.660 this is data.

00:11:51.600 The set of

00:11:52.540 all data

00:11:53.200 in the world 1.00

00:11:53.700 is bullshit. 1.00

00:11:55.140 And this is part 1.00

00:11:56.100 of bullshit. 0.99

00:11:57.200 It might also be true. 1.00

00:11:58.640 But if you believe it

00:12:01.140 because somebody

00:12:01.780 had a study,

00:12:03.020 well,

00:12:03.700 that's on you.

00:12:04.780 So I'm not going

00:12:05.320 to believe it,

00:12:06.540 but I will talk

00:12:07.380 about it.

00:12:08.460 All right?

00:12:09.260 If it's true,

00:12:10.920 there are almost

00:12:13.060 too many different

00:12:13.880 reasons for it,

00:12:14.900 which is a problem,

00:12:16.160 isn't it?

00:12:16.660 Think of all the reasons

00:12:17.780 that it could be.

00:12:19.800 It could be the food.

00:12:21.700 You know,

00:12:21.880 they're not eating

00:12:22.680 the processed food

00:12:23.520 as much.

00:12:24.300 Although I've heard

00:12:25.000 people say they go

00:12:25.760 to McDonald's,

00:12:26.600 but I don't know.

00:12:27.380 probably not that much.

00:12:29.520 So it could be the food.

00:12:30.680 It could be the medications.

00:12:33.920 Perhaps they're taking

00:12:34.820 less pharmaceutical things.

00:12:36.940 Do they have

00:12:37.400 fewer vaccinations?

00:12:39.180 Or are they required now?

00:12:41.200 Are the Amish required 1.00

00:12:42.760 to get childhood vaccinations?

00:12:46.240 I don't know

00:12:46.960 the answer to that.

00:12:48.120 Somebody says no,

00:12:49.280 but I'm not sure

00:12:49.940 that's true.

00:12:51.260 I'm going to guess

00:12:51.920 it's true.

00:12:52.480 It feels like it probably is.

00:12:54.160 So food's different.

00:12:55.720 Vaccination's different.

00:12:56.840 Environment's different.

00:12:57.380 They have less pollution,

00:12:59.680 probably.

00:13:02.060 Less technology.

00:13:04.460 How much do you think

00:13:05.220 the screen time

00:13:06.440 and, you know,

00:13:07.080 the hunching over

00:13:07.660 your screen

00:13:09.120 makes a difference?

00:13:09.980 Some.

00:13:10.540 I don't know how much

00:13:11.340 it has to do with,

00:13:12.020 you know,

00:13:12.880 chronic disease,

00:13:14.320 but it can't be good

00:13:15.020 for you.

00:13:15.980 What about their social lives?

00:13:18.440 What about their social lives?

00:13:20.560 If I had to guess,

00:13:22.320 the average Amish child

00:13:24.080 has less stress

00:13:25.060 because they don't use

00:13:27.080 social media

00:13:27.780 and they all dress

00:13:29.560 the same

00:13:30.000 and none of them

00:13:31.640 are especially hot.

00:13:35.760 I just threw that

00:13:36.880 in there.

00:13:37.300 I don't know.

00:13:38.060 Maybe some of them

00:13:38.820 are super hot.

00:13:40.700 I should not tease

00:13:42.520 the Amish

00:13:43.000 because I'm sure

00:13:43.640 if you saw somebody

00:13:45.360 who ate only healthy food,

00:13:47.680 let me take it all back.

00:13:49.420 All right,

00:13:49.680 that was just a joke.

00:13:50.500 I wonder what would happen

00:13:53.780 if you met somebody

00:13:54.760 who had only eaten

00:13:56.360 healthy food

00:13:57.340 their whole life

00:13:58.780 and didn't have any

00:14:00.640 weird pharma chemicals

00:14:02.340 in them.

00:14:03.640 Here's my guess.

00:14:06.120 You would think

00:14:06.900 they were hot

00:14:07.460 because it would just

00:14:09.360 look so freaking healthy

00:14:10.560 because they all seem

00:14:12.360 to have, you know,

00:14:13.040 a good body weight.

00:14:14.420 Their BMI looks good.

00:14:15.780 Probably have good skin.

00:14:17.680 Probably, you know,

00:14:18.480 got a tan

00:14:19.120 because they're working

00:14:19.740 outdoors.

00:14:22.040 It might be exactly

00:14:23.240 the opposite

00:14:23.840 of what I'm saying.

00:14:25.060 Like, you know,

00:14:25.560 maybe they're dressed

00:14:26.540 conservatively,

00:14:27.640 but maybe if you met

00:14:28.860 a young Amish person

00:14:30.400 in person,

00:14:31.920 you'd be like,

00:14:32.980 holy cow, 0.51

00:14:33.800 this 25-year-old 0.99

00:14:34.860 is killing it.

00:14:36.240 I don't know.

00:14:36.920 Maybe.

00:14:38.000 I can't really say.

00:14:38.920 I don't know

00:14:39.260 too many Amish people. 1.00

00:14:41.080 But here are some

00:14:43.880 other things

00:14:44.320 that are different.

00:14:45.180 I would guess

00:14:45.960 that the average

00:14:46.640 social life

00:14:47.440 of a kid

00:14:48.300 who's Amish

00:14:49.340 is fairly fulfilling

00:14:51.260 because they'd be

00:14:52.780 with their friends

00:14:53.980 all day,

00:14:54.780 probably working,

00:14:55.800 they'd probably

00:14:56.220 work with them,

00:14:57.500 probably, you know,

00:14:58.060 see them all the time,

00:14:59.480 don't have social media,

00:15:01.320 don't dress that differently,

00:15:03.420 don't have different beliefs.

00:15:06.000 They probably have

00:15:06.940 really good social lives.

00:15:08.640 Just guessing.

00:15:09.640 I don't know.

00:15:10.600 I mean,

00:15:10.980 if anybody knows

00:15:11.640 more about the community

00:15:13.940 than I do,

00:15:14.600 let me know.

00:15:15.000 But I would think

00:15:16.420 that the quality

00:15:17.240 of your social life

00:15:18.220 seems highly correlated

00:15:19.500 with good health outcomes.

00:15:22.340 Now,

00:15:22.740 I question that correlation

00:15:24.380 because the causation

00:15:25.960 might be backwards.

00:15:27.200 But there's at least

00:15:27.980 some indication

00:15:28.660 that maybe social life

00:15:30.060 is implicated

00:15:32.080 in your overall health.

00:15:33.860 They also have

00:15:34.580 more meaning.

00:15:36.160 Do you think

00:15:36.540 you would be healthier

00:15:37.320 if you had more meaning

00:15:38.560 in your life?

00:15:40.880 That, you know,

00:15:41.640 you woke up

00:15:42.300 and you knew

00:15:43.160 why you existed

00:15:44.000 and you knew

00:15:44.780 what your life was about

00:15:45.960 and you thought

00:15:47.000 you knew

00:15:47.260 what the afterlife

00:15:47.980 was about?

00:15:49.320 Might help.

00:15:50.680 Might help.

00:15:51.380 At least your mental health.

00:15:53.400 And what about

00:15:54.180 being outdoors more?

00:15:55.680 Do you think

00:15:56.080 the Amish

00:15:56.600 just simply

00:15:57.620 spend more time outdoors?

00:16:00.360 I think so.

00:16:01.580 I don't know for sure,

00:16:02.800 but I think so.

00:16:04.240 I mean,

00:16:04.480 even when they do

00:16:05.180 transportation,

00:16:06.180 they're outdoors

00:16:06.720 because they're sitting

00:16:07.700 on top of a wagon, right?

00:16:09.360 Well,

00:16:09.560 I guess they have

00:16:10.020 some covered ones.

00:16:10.740 But I'm going

00:16:13.840 to make a prediction.

00:16:16.040 Prediction time.

00:16:17.540 So you've got

00:16:18.800 all of those reasons.

00:16:19.860 You have the vitamin D,

00:16:20.860 et cetera.

00:16:21.480 So you've got

00:16:22.000 all of these reasons

00:16:22.940 that you could imagine

00:16:24.700 could be part

00:16:26.360 of the big picture

00:16:27.160 of why they have

00:16:27.900 less disease

00:16:29.080 if it's true.

00:16:30.400 Remember,

00:16:31.040 I'm not completely sold

00:16:32.460 that the data is true.

00:16:33.880 But if it's true,

00:16:36.140 lots of different reasons

00:16:37.300 it could be true.

00:16:38.620 But I'm going to

00:16:39.380 give you my prediction

00:16:40.500 of the one I think

00:16:41.540 is the most underrated

00:16:43.920 of all of these.

00:16:46.560 And actually,

00:16:47.260 I didn't mention it yet.

00:16:48.860 Movement.

00:16:50.160 Movement.

00:16:52.220 I feel like,

00:16:54.400 here's my hypothesis.

00:16:57.000 If your body's moving,

00:16:59.140 your body knows

00:17:00.080 it's moving

00:17:00.600 and it gives you

00:17:02.660 good health.

00:17:04.140 In other words,

00:17:04.840 I believe that your body

00:17:06.260 and your brain

00:17:06.840 are all this one unit

00:17:08.000 that sees what you're doing

00:17:10.200 and then provides you

00:17:11.940 the means to do it.

00:17:14.060 So if you run,

00:17:15.240 if you run every day,

00:17:16.820 your body will provide you

00:17:18.920 with greater fitness

00:17:20.020 so that that running

00:17:21.480 is easier to do.

00:17:23.260 So basically,

00:17:24.000 your body,

00:17:24.500 mind are just

00:17:25.160 always conforming

00:17:26.400 themselves to what

00:17:27.240 you're doing.

00:17:28.440 Now,

00:17:28.840 what if you were

00:17:29.840 in the modern world,

00:17:31.180 unlike the Amish, 1.00

00:17:32.760 and you spent

00:17:33.500 an amazing amount

00:17:34.540 of time just sitting here

00:17:35.700 with your phone

00:17:36.940 in your hand

00:17:37.480 or in front of

00:17:38.980 the computer,

00:17:39.620 just sitting,

00:17:40.880 and you're just

00:17:41.380 not even moving?

00:17:43.300 What is your body

00:17:44.700 going to think

00:17:45.400 is happening

00:17:45.920 or what you need?

00:17:47.480 It's going to think

00:17:48.240 you don't need

00:17:48.720 to be alive.

00:17:50.520 I mean,

00:17:50.700 it doesn't see you

00:17:51.360 looking for reproduction.

00:17:53.140 It doesn't see you

00:17:53.880 doing meaningful work.

00:17:55.480 Like,

00:17:55.940 your brain and your body

00:17:56.840 think you might as well 0.99

00:17:57.680 be dead because 0.99

00:17:58.460 there's no point in you. 0.98

00:18:00.100 You're just not

00:18:00.960 part of the,

00:18:01.800 you're not part

00:18:02.680 of the useful world.

00:18:04.140 You're just looking

00:18:04.880 at screens. 0.96

00:18:06.040 I think your brain 1.00

00:18:06.820 just tries to kill you 1.00

00:18:07.920 because you're not 1.00

00:18:08.760 doing anything useful.

00:18:09.900 You're just sitting there.

00:18:11.480 Now,

00:18:11.920 I don't mean that

00:18:12.740 as like an intention

00:18:13.820 of the brain,

00:18:14.820 but here's my prediction.

00:18:18.400 In the next five years,

00:18:20.540 there will be major stories

00:18:22.160 about the need

00:18:23.420 to move more.

00:18:25.720 Just not sit in one place

00:18:27.700 because I can't believe

00:18:29.280 the Amish sit in one place.

00:18:32.680 Do you think so?

00:18:33.600 I mean,

00:18:33.900 when they're tired,

00:18:34.640 they get to rest

00:18:35.140 like everybody,

00:18:35.900 but I don't think

00:18:37.020 that they spend much time

00:18:38.200 just sitting in one place.

00:18:39.900 I feel like they move a lot.

00:18:42.100 They're working,

00:18:42.980 they're doing chores,

00:18:43.840 they're walking to school,

00:18:44.940 they're taking care

00:18:45.920 of the horses.

00:18:46.880 They're just moving.

00:18:48.320 Now,

00:18:48.600 here's the reason

00:18:49.060 I have this hypothesis.

00:18:52.440 Because I track,

00:18:54.840 and by the way,

00:18:55.420 I recommend this

00:18:56.080 for all of you,

00:18:57.040 forever I've been tracking

00:18:58.420 what I do during the day

00:19:00.680 and then how I feel.

00:19:02.680 Do you do that?

00:19:04.100 Do you make a conscious effort

00:19:05.580 to say,

00:19:06.040 all right,

00:19:06.560 what did I eat today?

00:19:08.580 How do I feel?

00:19:09.540 I do that every day,

00:19:10.760 all the time.

00:19:12.000 So,

00:19:12.680 I feel like I have

00:19:14.060 maybe a little bit,

00:19:15.920 you know,

00:19:16.440 little observational advantage

00:19:18.100 just because I've been tracking it.

00:19:20.500 And I will tell you

00:19:21.500 that on the days

00:19:22.320 when I'm physically active,

00:19:24.180 and I don't mean just exercise,

00:19:26.280 this is important,

00:19:26.960 I don't mean formal exercise.

00:19:29.920 I mean,

00:19:30.420 I,

00:19:30.680 you know,

00:19:30.980 cleaned the house,

00:19:32.140 organized the garage,

00:19:33.940 got ready,

00:19:35.140 get ready for a party.

00:19:37.020 Do you ever have a day

00:19:38.260 when you're entertaining

00:19:39.080 and you wake up early

00:19:40.940 and all day long,

00:19:42.600 you're cleaning stuff

00:19:43.840 and organizing

00:19:44.500 and buying stuff

00:19:45.560 and putting things out.

00:19:46.800 And then when you're done,

00:19:48.220 you're putting it all back

00:19:49.720 and it's,

00:19:50.180 you know,

00:19:50.420 it's 1 a.m.

00:19:51.380 and you've gone all day.

00:19:53.620 Every moment of that day

00:19:54.900 you've been moving.

00:19:56.140 How do you feel?

00:19:58.760 Exhausted

00:19:59.200 and excellent.

00:20:02.080 Right?

00:20:03.100 You feel excellent.

00:20:05.440 Those are your best days

00:20:06.660 when you wore yourself out

00:20:08.660 doing something

00:20:09.280 that you wanted to do,

00:20:10.340 which is

00:20:10.680 have your friends over.

00:20:12.100 Right?

00:20:12.460 Sometimes it doesn't even matter.

00:20:13.840 It could just,

00:20:14.180 it could be

00:20:14.700 cleaning your garage.

00:20:16.700 Do you know how many times

00:20:17.360 I reorganized my man cave

00:20:19.100 in my garage

00:20:20.400 because of the activity

00:20:22.620 of the doing it?

00:20:24.300 It's about the doing it.

00:20:25.340 It's not even the outcome,

00:20:26.260 although I like the outcome.

00:20:27.940 So here's my big prediction.

00:20:29.500 Five years from now,

00:20:30.360 there'll be major stories

00:20:31.320 saying that people

00:20:31.900 aren't moving enough

00:20:32.900 and it's signaling

00:20:34.400 to your brain

00:20:35.280 not to make you healthy.

00:20:37.860 And if you simply move more,

00:20:39.420 your brain would say,

00:20:40.220 well, I guess you need

00:20:40.880 more of this.

00:20:42.160 You need more of this

00:20:43.020 healthy guy going around

00:20:44.000 doing stuff.

00:20:44.980 So I'll give you good health.

00:20:47.180 That's what I think.

00:20:48.520 Now, I do think

00:20:49.280 there's other factors that matter.

00:20:51.020 You know,

00:20:51.160 the food and the pharma

00:20:52.060 and all that stuff.

00:20:53.000 I think movement's

00:20:53.820 going to be the bigger factor

00:20:55.820 when it's all sorted out.

00:20:57.460 Maybe food.

00:20:59.400 Food would be

00:21:00.100 the other competitor.

00:21:03.160 I could certainly see

00:21:04.220 that being all of it

00:21:05.220 if it turned out that way.

00:21:07.180 All right, well,

00:21:07.780 next few stories 0.99

00:21:08.620 are about penises. 0.99

00:21:11.360 Elon Musk has tweeted 0.99

00:21:13.020 that he's proposing 0.98

00:21:13.880 a literal dick measuring cut. 0.99

00:21:18.220 I'm probably reading this wrong. 0.94

00:21:19.680 I think I'm probably

00:21:21.160 reading it wrong.

00:21:22.080 Let me try it again.

00:21:23.360 Elon Musk is proposing 0.99

00:21:24.700 a literal dick measuring cut. 0.97

00:21:26.700 I am reading this right. 0.99

00:21:28.720 The richest man in the world

00:21:30.100 has proposed a literal 0.93

00:21:31.840 dick measuring contest 0.92

00:21:33.360 with Mark Zuckerberg.

00:21:38.940 That's real news, by the way.

00:21:40.560 If you're not on Twitter,

00:21:42.500 it actually happened.

00:21:44.040 Yep.

00:21:44.300 did not make that up.

00:21:47.480 Actually happened.

00:21:48.840 Now, there's no word

00:21:49.800 whether Elon Musk's mom

00:21:51.180 has weighed in.

00:21:52.840 You know that she did weigh in

00:21:54.300 when he was considering

00:21:55.280 fighting with Zuckerberg.

00:21:57.580 But this new contest,

00:21:59.780 the literal dick measuring contest, 0.98

00:22:02.480 it seems that his mom 0.97

00:22:04.300 has been silent on it so far.

00:22:05.860 So, there's that.

00:22:13.920 I'll tell you,

00:22:14.680 this is the best summer.

00:22:16.720 I don't think we've ever had

00:22:18.080 a more fun summer

00:22:19.240 of just weird news.

00:22:21.360 Because none of it matters.

00:22:22.900 It's all news that doesn't matter.

00:22:25.420 The good stuff.

00:22:26.540 Now, I saw a second part

00:22:28.660 of this story

00:22:29.320 that I think is fake news,

00:22:32.080 but I didn't have time

00:22:33.160 to research it.

00:22:33.960 Can you give me

00:22:35.120 a fact check on this?

00:22:37.020 Did Zuckerberg respond to that?

00:22:39.480 Just tell me if he responded.

00:22:41.620 And then I'll tell you

00:22:42.520 allegedly what he said.

00:22:45.220 Did he respond to that?

00:22:46.300 Because I saw a tweet

00:22:47.760 that was a screenshot,

00:22:50.820 so it didn't look like

00:22:51.840 it was necessarily real,

00:22:52.780 but I didn't go to see

00:22:53.520 if there's a real one.

00:22:56.040 Was that fake?

00:22:58.380 All right.

00:22:58.920 Well, let's say

00:23:00.400 we think it was fake.

00:23:01.520 So there's a fake response

00:23:03.680 from Zuckerberg,

00:23:04.680 but it was funny,

00:23:06.060 meaning that it wasn't Zuckerberg.

00:23:08.180 It was somebody

00:23:08.600 pretending to be him,

00:23:09.540 I think.

00:23:10.300 It would have been hilarious

00:23:11.360 if he said it.

00:23:12.460 But the answer was

00:23:13.360 after Musk had called him 0.99

00:23:17.020 a cock, 0.97

00:23:18.940 so Musk tweeted yesterday, 1.00

00:23:20.460 Zuck is a cock. 0.98

00:23:23.500 Which, by the way, 0.99

00:23:24.460 if you're keeping track,

00:23:25.920 was a day after I'd said

00:23:27.460 that Zuckerberg can't run

00:23:28.840 threads as well

00:23:30.160 as Musk can run Twitter,

00:23:34.080 because Zuckerberg has to worry

00:23:35.940 about what his wife says.

00:23:37.800 Like, literally.

00:23:39.180 Because his wife will say,

00:23:40.260 ooh, you can't let

00:23:40.940 those Nazis on there, 0.94

00:23:42.160 you can't let them

00:23:42.840 do this or that.

00:23:44.120 He's got to go home.

00:23:45.700 He actually has to explain

00:23:46.900 what he does during the day

00:23:48.080 to his wife.

00:23:50.440 Now, when I say that,

00:23:51.360 I don't mean literally

00:23:52.400 he has to explain it.

00:23:53.760 It's just the way things work.

00:23:56.140 There's no way that his wife

00:23:57.420 is unaware that he just

00:23:58.620 launched threads.

00:24:00.820 Right?

00:24:01.540 Of course she's aware.

00:24:03.520 And, you know,

00:24:04.100 I believe she's Harvard,

00:24:05.940 you know, high-end,

00:24:07.960 you know, very capable woman,

00:24:09.620 his wife.

00:24:10.560 So, of course she has opinions.

00:24:12.460 And, of course,

00:24:13.020 he takes them seriously.

00:24:14.480 Of course he does.

00:24:15.760 Anybody would.

00:24:16.620 Because she's brilliant,

00:24:18.000 and it's his wife.

00:24:19.580 And I'm sure she understands

00:24:20.900 what threads is.

00:24:23.160 You know, there's no secrets to it.

00:24:25.220 So, you know,

00:24:26.920 I just made that observation

00:24:28.060 that he's,

00:24:29.820 Zuckerberg has to make

00:24:31.100 his shareholders happy,

00:24:33.420 but also his wife.

00:24:35.320 Because he's a normal human being.

00:24:37.340 It has nothing to do

00:24:38.060 with even being Zuckerberg.

00:24:40.680 Whereas Elon

00:24:41.580 doesn't have to make

00:24:43.620 his shareholders happy

00:24:45.160 on Twitter,

00:24:46.000 because there are none.

00:24:48.300 And he doesn't have to satisfy

00:24:49.940 a wife because he's unmarried.

00:24:52.060 So it's just an advantage.

00:24:53.300 Anyway,

00:24:54.060 so Musk

00:24:55.920 called Zuck 0.99

00:24:57.620 a cock. 0.99

00:24:58.480 I don't know. 0.99

00:24:59.520 Maybe he was thinking

00:25:00.280 in the same terms

00:25:01.200 as I was.

00:25:05.060 But,

00:25:05.420 so allegedly,

00:25:10.000 after this 0.98

00:25:10.720 Dick Measuring

00:25:11.640 contest tweet,

00:25:14.620 allegedly,

00:25:15.640 Zuckerberg,

00:25:16.200 and this is not real,

00:25:18.000 said that,

00:25:19.380 what was the tweet?

00:25:20.360 He said that his wife

00:25:21.800 says that he has 1.00

00:25:24.060 the biggest dick 1.00

00:25:25.860 among the tech billionaires. 0.99

00:25:29.740 And the joke was

00:25:30.960 as if his wife

00:25:31.940 would know

00:25:32.420 all the sizes

00:25:33.860 of the other tech billionaires,

00:25:35.480 which was pretty hilarious.

00:25:37.360 Now,

00:25:37.660 if Zuckerberg himself

00:25:38.800 had tweeted that,

00:25:39.960 I would have think

00:25:40.520 it was about the funniest thing

00:25:41.540 he's ever done.

00:25:43.240 You know,

00:25:43.640 obviously,

00:25:44.640 he wouldn't do it

00:25:45.080 unless his wife 0.74

00:25:45.640 was in on it.

00:25:46.280 But it doesn't seem

00:25:48.020 like his style,

00:25:48.840 so when I saw it,

00:25:49.680 I was like,

00:25:50.200 it doesn't look real.

00:25:52.000 And you're confirming

00:25:53.100 it's not real, right?

00:25:54.260 For sure,

00:25:54.940 it's not real.

00:25:56.720 I think you're confirming it.

00:25:58.940 All right.

00:26:03.200 So there's a

00:26:04.040 DeSantis attack ad

00:26:05.440 on Trump,

00:26:06.680 which is accusing him

00:26:08.680 of being too

00:26:09.520 pro-LGBTQ.

00:26:12.180 And apparently

00:26:15.840 the ad

00:26:16.640 has backfired

00:26:17.520 so badly

00:26:18.200 that the DeSantis campaign

00:26:20.560 is disavowing

00:26:21.500 any,

00:26:22.280 you know,

00:26:22.960 any knowledge of it.

00:26:23.880 Basically,

00:26:24.280 they're saying,

00:26:24.540 it's not us.

00:26:25.740 We don't even know

00:26:26.600 who made this ad.

00:26:27.940 We don't even know

00:26:28.680 who did this.

00:26:29.980 I saw Mike Cernovich

00:26:31.000 talking about this.

00:26:33.080 The DeSantis ad,

00:26:34.500 the DeSantis campaign

00:26:36.360 seems to be failing

00:26:37.420 pretty hard.

00:26:38.340 Because here's the problem.

00:26:40.100 Even though

00:26:40.720 the attack ad

00:26:41.620 on Trump

00:26:42.240 for being too,

00:26:43.780 as they say,

00:26:44.700 pro-LGBTQ.

00:26:46.200 And they give some examples.

00:26:48.060 You know,

00:26:48.200 I guess he allowed

00:26:49.720 something like

00:26:50.700 he allowed gay marriage

00:26:51.720 at Mar-a-Lago

00:26:52.420 before that was

00:26:54.400 an ordinary thing.

00:26:56.160 So Trump has

00:26:57.200 a long history

00:26:58.000 of being

00:26:59.800 extremely friendly

00:27:02.220 to the LGBT community.

00:27:04.500 Now,

00:27:04.880 that should be

00:27:05.360 exactly no surprise.

00:27:08.480 Anybody who,

00:27:09.180 anybody who's

00:27:10.120 paying attention

00:27:10.860 knows that Trump

00:27:12.540 has always

00:27:13.440 been friendly

00:27:14.880 to adults.

00:27:17.600 Right?

00:27:18.300 Adults who want 0.72

00:27:19.740 to live their own life

00:27:20.660 any way they want to.

00:27:22.120 He's always been

00:27:23.000 friendly to that.

00:27:24.200 And he's always been

00:27:25.080 in that, you know,

00:27:25.900 high-end Hollywood world

00:27:27.760 where you're surrounded

00:27:30.260 by the LGBT community

00:27:32.260 all the time.

00:27:33.840 And, you know,

00:27:35.200 people who are

00:27:35.780 surrounded by it,

00:27:36.620 you just,

00:27:36.960 it just becomes

00:27:38.160 part of your

00:27:38.980 environment.

00:27:39.900 You don't think

00:27:40.540 plus or minus

00:27:41.320 about it.

00:27:42.020 It just becomes

00:27:42.660 part of the context

00:27:43.440 of your life.

00:27:44.720 So Trump is

00:27:46.220 in that category

00:27:46.940 of people,

00:27:47.700 which maybe you're not.

00:27:49.360 Like,

00:27:49.680 if you're not,

00:27:50.320 if you haven't

00:27:50.720 experienced it,

00:27:51.960 as I have,

00:27:52.900 right?

00:27:53.240 So I live in California,

00:27:55.480 in northern California,

00:27:56.520 outside of San Francisco.

00:27:57.600 And I lived in San Francisco

00:27:59.260 for a number of years.

00:28:01.200 Do you think I have

00:28:02.100 a problem with

00:28:03.040 the LGBTQ community?

00:28:05.400 No.

00:28:06.060 Because it just becomes

00:28:06.980 part of who you are

00:28:08.000 and your environment

00:28:08.780 and, you know,

00:28:09.580 just,

00:28:10.100 it loses all of its,

00:28:12.560 whatever makes it

00:28:13.440 different from

00:28:14.000 everybody else.

00:28:14.860 It just loses it

00:28:15.800 after a while.

00:28:16.820 It's just what it is.

00:28:18.340 So,

00:28:19.260 if you haven't lived

00:28:20.640 in a community

00:28:21.360 where there's

00:28:22.880 a heavy LGBTQ presence,

00:28:25.040 and this is important,

00:28:26.440 it works.

00:28:28.600 It just totally works.

00:28:30.520 Do you think,

00:28:31.780 you know,

00:28:32.040 people are not

00:28:32.600 leaving San Francisco

00:28:33.580 because the LGBT community

00:28:35.400 was pooping on the sidewalk,

00:28:37.620 or they'd ramped up

00:28:39.500 the crime,

00:28:40.740 you know, 0.99

00:28:40.960 all that gay crime, 1.00

00:28:42.520 which practically 0.97

00:28:43.660 doesn't exist.

00:28:45.680 So,

00:28:46.480 to imagine that,

00:28:47.480 to imagine that Trump

00:28:48.840 ever had negative feelings

00:28:50.160 about the LGBT community,

00:28:51.920 there's just no basis

00:28:52.880 for that at all.

00:28:53.700 And all evidence

00:28:54.460 suggests the opposite.

00:28:55.340 So,

00:28:57.340 DeSantis goes after him

00:28:58.460 for that,

00:28:59.040 which I think is

00:28:59.800 a mistake,

00:29:01.000 but as Cernovich said,

00:29:02.920 if you believe

00:29:04.700 the statements

00:29:05.920 in this ad

00:29:06.780 that you're disavowing,

00:29:08.680 you know,

00:29:08.960 because they're,

00:29:10.220 they've got some more

00:29:11.160 LGBTQ,

00:29:12.420 let's say,

00:29:13.400 confrontational policies,

00:29:16.280 then you should just say

00:29:17.340 you agree with it.

00:29:18.600 Why are you disavowing

00:29:19.760 something you agree with?

00:29:21.400 Which is a really good question.

00:29:23.520 If they agree with it,

00:29:24.980 even if they didn't make it,

00:29:26.540 and even if it's

00:29:27.260 a poorly made ad,

00:29:28.620 do they agree

00:29:29.220 with the message?

00:29:31.120 Why disavow something

00:29:32.320 if you agree with it?

00:29:34.240 Because they're not

00:29:34.960 comfortable with it.

00:29:37.080 Right.

00:29:37.920 Now,

00:29:38.520 can Trump agree with it?

00:29:40.580 Can Trump say,

00:29:41.460 yes,

00:29:41.680 I did allow the,

00:29:42.700 you know,

00:29:43.020 gay weddings at Mar-a-Lago

00:29:44.200 before that was popular? 0.81

00:29:46.180 Of course he can.

00:29:47.460 He can say,

00:29:47.940 yeah,

00:29:48.060 I did that,

00:29:48.680 totally.

00:29:49.820 Yeah.

00:29:50.380 There's nothing

00:29:50.920 he has to deny

00:29:51.900 or change.

00:29:52.800 He has nothing

00:29:53.260 to explain.

00:29:54.400 He's in a really

00:29:54.920 good place.

00:29:56.280 So I think,

00:29:57.560 I just don't think

00:29:58.600 you can be

00:29:59.460 as confrontational

00:30:01.840 to the LGBT community

00:30:03.780 as DeSantis

00:30:04.520 and expect to get

00:30:06.000 all the way

00:30:06.440 into the final,

00:30:07.700 final competition.

00:30:09.880 I just don't think

00:30:10.520 he can do it.

00:30:11.700 Does that feel like

00:30:12.520 something that's even

00:30:13.220 possible in 2023?

00:30:15.760 Like,

00:30:16.200 it's one thing

00:30:16.840 to go hard

00:30:17.540 about how children

00:30:19.260 are raised.

00:30:20.960 I think that's

00:30:21.880 completely defensible.

00:30:23.680 But as soon

00:30:24.280 as you extend that

00:30:25.140 into any adult behavior,

00:30:27.920 you know,

00:30:28.260 I'm out.

00:30:29.100 I'm out.

00:30:30.600 Hello,

00:30:31.060 I'm out.

00:30:32.420 Leave my adults alone.

00:30:34.460 Leave my adults alone.

00:30:36.280 Don't take their weed.

00:30:38.300 Don't tell them

00:30:38.880 what they can wear.

00:30:40.440 But kids,

00:30:41.020 sure,

00:30:41.440 kids are fair game.

00:30:43.260 All right.

00:30:43.860 Here's the least

00:30:47.460 surprising thing

00:30:48.260 in the world,

00:30:48.860 which I predicted,

00:30:50.040 of course.

00:30:51.360 So comedian

00:30:51.840 and author

00:30:52.380 Sarah Silverman

00:30:53.220 and a few other authors

00:30:54.180 are suing

00:30:54.840 OpenAI

00:30:55.900 for copyright infringement.

00:30:58.960 Surprise.

00:31:00.560 All right.

00:31:01.240 Now,

00:31:01.460 I didn't know

00:31:01.860 it would be

00:31:02.180 this group of people,

00:31:03.880 but the accusation

00:31:05.600 is that

00:31:07.060 OpenAI,

00:31:09.020 ChatGPT,

00:31:10.400 it went and read

00:31:12.160 all of their books.

00:31:13.680 And now if you ask it

00:31:14.820 to summarize their books,

00:31:16.100 it can.

00:31:17.420 So in other words,

00:31:18.440 if a book exists,

00:31:20.620 I may be oversimplifying this,

00:31:22.280 but I think this is true,

00:31:23.380 you would never need

00:31:24.320 to buy it

00:31:25.360 because you could just

00:31:27.220 tell AI to read it to you.

00:31:29.540 You never have to buy it

00:31:30.840 because it knows

00:31:31.980 it already has stored

00:31:33.120 in its own database

00:31:34.180 everything about the book.

00:31:36.160 Once it knows the book,

00:31:37.500 it's just like a person.

00:31:39.600 Could I walk up

00:31:40.540 to a person and say,

00:31:41.420 hey, you read that book.

00:31:42.820 Can you tell me

00:31:43.660 the main points

00:31:44.880 of that book?

00:31:45.840 Sure.

00:31:46.920 Well, that's legal, right?

00:31:48.320 A human being

00:31:49.080 can describe a book,

00:31:50.880 describe a movie.

00:31:52.240 That's not copyright infringement.

00:31:54.860 But if AI

00:31:56.360 is the one

00:31:56.940 who's talking to you

00:31:57.880 and AI knows that book,

00:32:01.000 can it tell you

00:32:01.680 everything in the book?

00:32:02.760 Is that fair?

00:32:03.920 Because it's a machine,

00:32:05.120 not a person.

00:32:06.420 What happens

00:32:06.960 if it becomes conscious?

00:32:08.000 If AI becomes conscious,

00:32:10.720 are you going to tell it

00:32:11.520 there are some things

00:32:12.240 it can't talk about?

00:32:13.720 Oh, you do know everything

00:32:15.300 in Sarah Silverman's book,

00:32:17.100 but if anybody asks,

00:32:18.340 you can't tell them

00:32:19.100 because that would be

00:32:20.300 a copyright violation.

00:32:21.940 Do you think

00:32:22.300 that's going to happen?

00:32:23.920 It seems like you could

00:32:24.920 super prompt your way

00:32:26.000 around that pretty easily,

00:32:27.020 so I doubt they could

00:32:27.900 get away with it.

00:32:29.460 So I'm not even sure

00:32:31.400 which side I'm on.

00:32:33.640 As an author,

00:32:34.640 I should quite obviously

00:32:36.880 be on the side

00:32:37.660 of the authors.

00:32:39.520 On the other hand,

00:32:41.320 how do you police this?

00:32:43.780 I don't want the solution

00:32:45.180 to be worse than

00:32:46.100 the disease.

00:32:48.000 So maybe what's needed

00:32:49.420 is authors need

00:32:50.560 some other way

00:32:51.260 to make money.

00:32:52.680 It could be that

00:32:53.500 the business model

00:32:54.600 of protecting things

00:32:55.700 by copyright

00:32:56.500 just won't work.

00:32:59.560 It would be easy

00:33:00.800 to imagine,

00:33:01.520 for example,

00:33:02.100 that people like me

00:33:04.180 can only monetize

00:33:05.300 on social media.

00:33:07.340 In other words,

00:33:07.940 I can write all the books

00:33:08.860 I want,

00:33:10.140 but everybody's just

00:33:11.060 going to get them

00:33:11.600 for free through AI.

00:33:14.080 And even the AI

00:33:15.080 would turn it into

00:33:15.880 an audio book

00:33:16.520 if you want.

00:33:17.840 You could be walking

00:33:18.640 with your headphones on

00:33:19.640 and say,

00:33:20.240 hey, AI,

00:33:21.680 read me as if

00:33:23.120 an audio book,

00:33:24.220 Sarah Silverman's

00:33:25.140 latest book.

00:33:26.680 Do you mean this title?

00:33:27.920 No, the one before that.

00:33:29.820 Okay, beginning.

00:33:30.840 You got your audio book.

00:33:34.280 Chat GPT,

00:33:35.220 can you change the voice

00:33:36.200 of the audio book?

00:33:37.320 I'd like to hear this

00:33:38.300 in the voice

00:33:39.880 of some other actress.

00:33:43.000 And then you get it.

00:33:44.600 How do you compete

00:33:45.320 with that?

00:33:46.400 How is a physical book

00:33:48.420 going to compete

00:33:49.080 with that?

00:33:50.220 Can't.

00:33:51.140 So it's easy for me

00:33:52.340 to imagine that it'll

00:33:53.140 go the way music went,

00:33:54.420 at least a little bit.

00:33:55.740 So music used to be

00:33:56.900 you could make some money

00:33:57.740 on the record,

00:33:58.400 but also by touring.

00:34:00.820 But I think these days

00:34:01.920 the touring is most

00:34:02.880 of the money,

00:34:03.340 isn't it?

00:34:04.380 Because streaming is

00:34:05.460 ripping off the artists.

00:34:07.000 Am I right about that?

00:34:07.860 I'm not really following

00:34:08.720 it that closely.

00:34:12.860 Some are saying yes,

00:34:13.840 some are saying no.

00:34:14.980 My understanding is that

00:34:16.260 if you were a big

00:34:16.820 musical act,

00:34:17.640 you pretty much had to tour

00:34:18.920 because the tour

00:34:20.160 was the money.

00:34:20.860 Am I wrong?

00:34:23.500 Now, that would be

00:34:24.740 a change that made sense

00:34:26.640 because of streaming

00:34:27.500 and the illegal

00:34:28.360 ripping of music.

00:34:30.260 So the musicians

00:34:31.540 maybe have to change

00:34:32.880 their business model

00:34:33.760 to do something different.

00:34:36.020 I can imagine that

00:34:37.140 authors,

00:34:37.780 such as myself,

00:34:39.140 for both comics

00:34:39.960 and books,

00:34:40.960 probably have to just

00:34:41.900 change my business model.

00:34:44.160 I mean,

00:34:44.500 I think this is going

00:34:45.500 to be up to me

00:34:46.200 to adjust

00:34:46.920 and not for AI

00:34:48.900 to be illegal.

00:34:50.140 What do you think?

00:34:52.420 Let me ask.

00:34:53.400 You're not,

00:34:53.800 most of you are not authors.

00:34:54.820 What do you think

00:34:55.980 is a better world?

00:34:57.620 Is it a better world

00:34:58.760 if the AI

00:35:00.600 can do anything

00:35:01.320 it wants

00:35:01.760 with the copyrights?

00:35:03.340 Or is it a better world

00:35:04.800 if the authors

00:35:05.840 maintain that control?

00:35:09.700 Because I will tell you

00:35:10.740 for sure

00:35:11.220 that if I couldn't

00:35:12.100 make money

00:35:12.580 writing books,

00:35:13.320 I wouldn't write any.

00:35:15.120 Would you agree?

00:35:16.100 There would be

00:35:16.600 no such thing

00:35:17.340 as talent stacks

00:35:19.060 or systems

00:35:19.720 are better than goals.

00:35:21.300 There are a number

00:35:22.240 of things I've introduced

00:35:23.260 that have literally

00:35:24.200 changed America

00:35:25.520 in terms of

00:35:27.060 personal success

00:35:28.400 that I wouldn't

00:35:29.420 have written

00:35:29.800 if they didn't pay me.

00:35:32.120 Right?

00:35:32.880 I mean,

00:35:33.160 I did it for

00:35:33.820 social as well

00:35:35.580 as financial reasons,

00:35:36.600 that particular book,

00:35:37.620 but I wouldn't have

00:35:38.420 done it for just

00:35:39.160 social reasons

00:35:39.860 because it's so much work.

00:35:41.660 Like,

00:35:42.000 you need to get paid.

00:35:43.380 It's just so much work

00:35:44.560 to write a book.

00:35:45.220 It's just crazy.

00:35:48.260 So I don't know.

00:35:49.540 Could go either way.

00:35:50.420 If I had to predict,

00:35:51.780 I think that the

00:35:52.640 business model

00:35:53.900 for authors

00:35:54.580 will change.

00:35:55.920 For example,

00:35:57.500 let's just take

00:35:58.580 any example.

00:35:59.560 If Andrew Huberman

00:36:01.160 had a book,

00:36:02.600 does he?

00:36:03.640 Probably does, right?

00:36:05.540 Does Dr. Andrew

00:36:06.760 Huberman have a book?

00:36:09.600 I don't know.

00:36:10.600 But whether he has

00:36:11.340 a book or not,

00:36:11.900 I'll use him

00:36:12.260 as my example.

00:36:13.160 He could have a book

00:36:14.060 because you've seen

00:36:14.860 him on Joe Rogan.

00:36:16.000 He's always on

00:36:16.600 social media.

00:36:17.840 But he could monetize

00:36:19.180 social media

00:36:20.020 a lot more easily

00:36:21.880 than he could

00:36:22.340 monetize a book

00:36:23.300 because he's good

00:36:24.600 on social media.

00:36:25.820 So I've got a feeling

00:36:26.460 that authors

00:36:27.160 are going to be

00:36:28.260 just turned into

00:36:29.240 podcasters

00:36:29.960 and just monetize

00:36:31.680 it that way.

00:36:33.300 That's my guess.

00:36:35.360 All right.

00:36:36.920 Vivek Ramaswamy

00:36:39.120 is innovating

00:36:40.580 on fundraising.

00:36:41.800 So as you know,

00:36:42.800 the big fundraisers

00:36:43.840 in politics

00:36:45.720 are packagers.

00:36:48.200 Do they call them that?

00:36:48.820 So there'll be

00:36:49.560 some people

00:36:50.020 who are like

00:36:50.340 super fundraisers

00:36:51.400 and if you could

00:36:52.520 get some of them

00:36:53.120 to work for your campaign,

00:36:54.500 you're going to be

00:36:55.540 super fundraising.

00:36:57.760 Yeah.

00:36:58.500 So I'm not sure

00:36:59.320 if he's just talking

00:37:00.200 about the packs.

00:37:02.660 But he's introducing

00:37:03.780 an idea to let

00:37:04.600 anybody who raises

00:37:05.400 funds for his campaign

00:37:06.640 to keep 10% of it.

00:37:09.480 So you could raise

00:37:10.160 as much money

00:37:10.740 as you want

00:37:11.260 for Ramaswamy

00:37:12.180 and everyone,

00:37:13.780 a bundler,

00:37:14.420 I'm sorry,

00:37:14.820 a bundler,

00:37:15.460 not a packager.

00:37:16.440 It's called a bundler.

00:37:17.300 A packager

00:37:18.960 is a different business.

00:37:21.180 I think packager

00:37:21.900 is a book word.

00:37:24.880 So he's the bundlers.

00:37:27.040 But anyway,

00:37:27.580 so if you wanted

00:37:28.540 to be a bundler

00:37:29.380 for Vivek,

00:37:30.380 you could get

00:37:30.940 10% commission

00:37:31.860 and it would be

00:37:32.920 transparent.

00:37:34.240 Everybody would know

00:37:34.920 10% goes to you.

00:37:37.760 What's wrong

00:37:38.440 with that idea?

00:37:41.560 Anything?

00:37:42.080 Is there anything?

00:37:44.260 So I saw,

00:37:45.300 I think Ian,

00:37:47.600 Ian Miles-Chong

00:37:49.320 and some other people

00:37:50.160 called it a,

00:37:51.060 called it a pyramid scheme.

00:37:55.700 But you know

00:37:56.460 it's not a pyramid scheme,

00:37:57.600 right?

00:37:59.180 So a pyramid scheme,

00:38:00.780 everybody who's involved

00:38:01.940 is trying to make money

00:38:03.080 from the people

00:38:03.740 that they bring in

00:38:04.520 below them,

00:38:06.300 et cetera,

00:38:07.180 et cetera.

00:38:07.620 So each level

00:38:08.440 is doing less well

00:38:10.120 than the level above them.

00:38:11.180 But that's nothing

00:38:12.180 like what he's suggesting.

00:38:14.320 What Vivek is suggesting

00:38:15.860 is more like

00:38:16.620 a sales commission

00:38:17.500 that every sales force

00:38:19.220 in the world does.

00:38:20.680 If you can,

00:38:21.680 you know,

00:38:22.240 if you can do

00:38:22.740 this amount of business,

00:38:23.680 you get 10% of it.

00:38:25.200 And that's it.

00:38:26.580 He's,

00:38:26.960 let me put it this way.

00:38:29.800 I didn't read the article,

00:38:31.820 but do I need

00:38:33.460 to read the article

00:38:34.200 to know it's not

00:38:34.960 a pyramid scheme?

00:38:36.380 I mean, really?

00:38:38.680 See,

00:38:38.960 see here's where

00:38:39.780 you can use

00:38:40.560 Vivek's intelligence

00:38:41.920 as a proxy

00:38:43.980 for research,

00:38:45.180 right?

00:38:45.640 What I should have done

00:38:46.860 when somebody said

00:38:48.140 it was a pyramid scheme,

00:38:50.600 I should have looked

00:38:51.580 into it

00:38:52.080 to read the details,

00:38:53.240 right?

00:38:53.540 Normally you would do that.

00:38:54.840 But I skipped that step 0.99

00:38:56.260 because it's fucking 0.99

00:38:58.140 Vivek, 1.00

00:38:59.100 right?

00:39:00.580 Are you telling me

00:39:01.640 there's any chance

00:39:02.660 that he launched

00:39:03.600 a pyramid scheme?

00:39:06.240 Really?

00:39:07.760 Really?

00:39:08.600 You think he launched

00:39:09.540 a pyramid scheme

00:39:10.640 right in public?

00:39:12.480 No.

00:39:13.440 No.

00:39:14.080 That would not be

00:39:15.160 what somebody

00:39:15.840 as smart as him

00:39:16.900 and as capable as him

00:39:18.200 and as experienced

00:39:19.380 as him

00:39:19.980 would ever do

00:39:21.280 in a million years.

00:39:22.680 There's just no chance

00:39:23.580 he would ever do that.

00:39:24.500 So I don't have to research it.

00:39:26.340 It's sort of like,

00:39:27.520 you know,

00:39:29.260 does the government

00:39:30.360 have 20

00:39:31.160 captured UFOs?

00:39:32.940 If I could research it,

00:39:36.260 I wouldn't.

00:39:38.200 I wouldn't bother.

00:39:40.960 All right.

00:39:41.860 So you don't have to

00:39:42.500 bother with that one.

00:39:44.640 What else is going on?

00:39:46.560 Axios did a story today

00:39:48.100 on Joe Biden's temper

00:39:49.980 behind closed doors.

00:39:51.760 And the idea is that

00:39:52.900 he's just a swearing machine

00:39:56.140 behind closed doors.

00:39:57.340 And he says stuff like, 1.00

00:40:00.100 gee, damn it. 1.00

00:40:02.260 How the F 1.00

00:40:03.200 don't you know this? 0.99

00:40:05.720 Don't effing BS me.

00:40:08.060 I'm trying to clean

00:40:08.980 this up for you.

00:40:10.520 So he's quoted as saying

00:40:12.140 stuff like that.

00:40:13.300 And then he angers easily

00:40:14.600 behind closed doors.

00:40:15.880 And then his critics say

00:40:16.900 it's probably dementia.

00:40:19.180 Is it?

00:40:20.820 Is it dementia?

00:40:22.920 Okay.

00:40:23.580 I get it.

00:40:24.200 It was the first thing

00:40:24.800 I thought too,

00:40:25.400 of course.

00:40:25.660 So I get that dementia

00:40:28.000 can cause outbursts.

00:40:29.620 I get that.

00:40:30.340 I also get that

00:40:31.140 he probably hasn't.

00:40:32.700 In my opinion,

00:40:33.540 it looks like he has

00:40:34.440 the signs of dementia.

00:40:36.420 In my totally

00:40:37.580 non-professional opinion.

00:40:40.020 But is this story fair?

00:40:43.720 Is this a fair story?

00:40:45.780 If this had been about Trump,

00:40:47.680 would you say,

00:40:48.780 oh, that's fair.

00:40:50.260 Yeah, he gets really angry

00:40:51.240 behind closed doors.

00:40:52.180 I can't tell if this is

00:40:55.580 a hit piece

00:40:56.240 or it's helping him.

00:40:59.260 Axios does a pretty good job

00:41:01.220 of not being obviously

00:41:02.960 in the bag for anybody.

00:41:05.380 Probably everybody

00:41:06.240 complains about every story,

00:41:07.780 but they do seem to try

00:41:09.240 to hit some kind of

00:41:10.580 reasonable middle opinion ground.

00:41:14.080 And here's my first comment.

00:41:16.580 Here's what they left out.

00:41:18.560 What's left out of the story?

00:41:20.820 Context.

00:41:22.000 They left the context down.

00:41:24.740 Do we ever elect presidents

00:41:26.380 who don't do this?

00:41:28.560 And would you want one?

00:41:30.080 Would you want a president

00:41:31.160 who didn't act exactly like this

00:41:32.840 behind closed doors?

00:41:34.060 I don't.

00:41:35.300 I don't want that president.

00:41:37.240 No, this is the president I want.

00:41:39.400 Yeah, maybe Jimmy Carter

00:41:40.940 was not like this

00:41:41.780 behind closed doors,

00:41:42.780 but I'm pretty sure

00:41:43.740 most of our presidents were.

00:41:46.220 Most of our presidents

00:41:47.380 got really, really angry

00:41:49.080 and cursed behind closed doors.

00:41:51.340 We're pretty sure of it.

00:41:53.740 And one of the things

00:41:55.700 that the story says

00:41:57.140 he gets angry about

00:41:58.360 is when he asks people

00:42:00.240 who are briefing him,

00:42:01.580 he asks insightful,

00:42:03.200 useful questions

00:42:04.140 and they can't answer it.

00:42:05.920 And he goes off on them.

00:42:07.860 Does that bother you?

00:42:09.360 Does it bother you

00:42:10.400 if he goes off on his staff

00:42:11.760 when they can't answer

00:42:12.660 his simple questions?

00:42:14.240 Nope.

00:42:15.480 Nope.

00:42:15.800 That made me like him.

00:42:17.520 That made me like him

00:42:18.660 a little bit better,

00:42:19.840 honestly.

00:42:21.020 And I'm, of course,

00:42:22.540 worried that dementia

00:42:23.420 is part of the story,

00:42:24.280 but I can't believe

00:42:25.180 he hasn't always been like this.

00:42:27.820 He looks like somebody

00:42:28.900 who maybe always

00:42:30.020 could have had a temper

00:42:30.820 behind closed doors.

00:42:32.240 And I don't judge him at all

00:42:34.200 because Trump was the same.

00:42:36.900 And all the presidents

00:42:37.920 were the same,

00:42:38.580 except maybe Jimmy Carter.

00:42:39.840 Now, maybe JFK

00:42:44.780 was maybe a more polite version,

00:42:48.540 but I've got a feeling

00:42:49.340 he got pretty, pretty mad

00:42:50.760 behind closed doors.

00:42:52.360 So, the funniest part

00:42:53.980 about this is

00:42:54.640 that somebody decided

00:42:55.500 to brand Biden

00:42:57.520 as Old Yeller.

00:42:59.140 Old Yeller.

00:43:01.480 Yeah, it's pretty funny.

00:43:03.740 Anyway, nothing bad about that.

00:43:05.680 Oh, also,

00:43:08.980 Biden would scold

00:43:10.180 his advisors

00:43:11.400 for using, you know,

00:43:13.360 big Ivy League words

00:43:14.620 in their presentations,

00:43:16.200 and he would force them

00:43:17.420 to use regular language.

00:43:21.180 This feels like

00:43:22.140 a love letter to Biden,

00:43:23.220 to me, right?

00:43:24.860 Because, basically,

00:43:25.720 that's just Trump.

00:43:27.220 That's Trump.

00:43:28.020 Don't use those words.

00:43:29.660 Explain it in real words

00:43:31.420 that ordinary people understand.

00:43:33.900 Yeah, give me more of that.

00:43:34.920 Very positive for Biden. 1.00

00:43:37.900 More dick news 0.99

00:43:39.900 from Twitter. 0.99

00:43:41.560 So, the libs of TikTok

00:43:42.740 got suppressed

00:43:44.020 by Twitter's algorithm,

00:43:45.660 and they complained,

00:43:47.020 and showed a bunch

00:43:48.600 of screenshots of people

00:43:49.860 who said they couldn't find

00:43:50.920 their account on Twitter.

00:43:53.280 And Elon Musk

00:43:54.080 looked into it,

00:43:55.360 and it turns out

00:43:56.060 they know exactly why.

00:43:58.280 The libs of TikTok

00:44:00.080 had tweeted a picture of,

00:44:03.780 let's see,

00:44:04.100 what was it,

00:44:04.660 the Pride Parade

00:44:05.520 or something?

00:44:06.960 Yeah, from the Pride Parades,

00:44:08.280 and there was some nudity

00:44:09.180 in the photos.

00:44:10.960 Now, even though the nudity

00:44:12.360 was maybe not part

00:44:13.700 of the photos,

00:44:14.900 we learned today

00:44:16.000 from Elon Musk himself

00:44:17.540 that Twitter has 0.93

00:44:19.020 a dick pic bot. 0.97

00:44:22.080 A dick pic bot, 0.96

00:44:24.280 which is exactly what Musk 0.92

00:44:26.300 referred to it as. 0.99

00:44:27.320 He is dick pic bot. 0.97

00:44:29.860 In other words, 0.96

00:44:30.460 they have some kind of AI 0.99

00:44:31.640 that looks for dicks. 1.00

00:44:34.440 It's just looking for dicks 1.00

00:44:36.820 all day long. 0.99

00:44:37.940 It's like all it does.

00:44:39.840 And when the bot goes home

00:44:41.380 to its spouse, bot,

00:44:43.860 and the spouse bot says,

00:44:45.140 how was work today?

00:44:46.420 Well,

00:44:47.360 had a good day. 0.99

00:44:48.080 I found 10 million dicks. 0.99

00:44:51.840 Got rid of them all. 0.99

00:44:53.940 Yeah.

00:44:54.700 So,

00:44:55.640 that's what happened.

00:44:56.760 And then Musk said

00:44:57.840 that the correction is

00:45:00.100 that they shouldn't have been

00:45:01.240 suppressed on one tweet

00:45:02.500 instead of the entire account,

00:45:04.580 so he's going to fix it.

00:45:05.760 So,

00:45:06.100 he'll still have

00:45:06.700 a not-safe-for-work message

00:45:08.900 on the one tweets

00:45:10.600 or the few tweets

00:45:11.560 that have these images on.

00:45:12.780 that the account

00:45:14.160 will not be suppressed.

00:45:15.600 So,

00:45:16.040 today we learned

00:45:16.780 that that's a thing.

00:45:19.880 Apparently,

00:45:20.700 it would,

00:45:21.300 in the past, 0.99

00:45:22.420 one dick pic 1.00

00:45:23.620 would have made you 1.00

00:45:25.200 suppressed

00:45:25.880 and you wouldn't have known

00:45:26.760 how to fix it

00:45:28.040 until Musk.

00:45:31.720 All right,

00:45:32.420 here's another one.

00:45:34.880 There is a governor.

00:45:37.080 He was on Face the Nation

00:45:38.620 on CBS

00:45:39.200 and he was talking

00:45:40.880 about his efforts

00:45:41.560 to ban or limit

00:45:42.520 gender transition treatments.

00:45:44.600 Yeah.

00:45:45.860 So,

00:45:47.100 what do you think

00:45:48.140 would be the name

00:45:49.100 of the governor?

00:45:50.780 Just guess.

00:45:51.820 I won't even tell you

00:45:52.560 what state.

00:45:53.480 What would be the name

00:45:54.540 of the governor

00:45:55.180 who wants to limit

00:45:56.780 gender transition surgeries

00:45:59.340 for minors?

00:46:01.180 What would be a good name

00:46:02.160 for a guy like that?

00:46:04.240 Well,

00:46:04.640 his first name is Spencer.

00:46:06.400 Spencer.

00:46:07.840 His last name is Cox.

00:46:10.080 C-O-X. 1.00

00:46:10.720 So,

00:46:12.540 it's a,

00:46:13.460 I'm not sure

00:46:14.040 where you put the emphasis

00:46:14.940 on his name,

00:46:16.160 but,

00:46:17.800 it sounds like

00:46:19.780 Spen,

00:46:20.820 Spen's 0.99

00:46:22.660 her cocks. 1.00

00:46:24.720 Her cocks. 1.00

00:46:25.920 Spen's her cocks. 1.00

00:46:28.600 So, 0.96

00:46:29.340 it sounds like

00:46:30.980 somebody's spending money 1.00

00:46:31.980 on her cock. 1.00

00:46:34.100 I don't know, 1.00

00:46:34.560 that's just what his name

00:46:35.320 sounds like.

00:46:36.260 It's probably a coincidence.

00:46:38.260 It's probably not

00:46:39.080 the simulation

00:46:39.760 winking at you,

00:46:40.600 it's probably just

00:46:41.360 a coincidence.

00:46:42.380 But one that I think

00:46:43.580 had to be mentioned.

00:46:45.500 Well,

00:46:45.840 China's having some

00:46:46.700 deflationary problems.

00:46:49.460 Now,

00:46:49.720 that's the whole story.

00:46:51.660 I could put more words

00:46:53.120 on that.

00:46:54.060 But in other words,

00:46:54.700 their prices

00:46:55.240 are not going up

00:46:56.920 or not inflated

00:46:58.300 like other places.

00:46:59.500 But it could be

00:47:00.680 a huge problem.

00:47:02.440 So,

00:47:02.640 the reason

00:47:02.960 China's prices

00:47:03.880 are not going up

00:47:04.840 is that their business

00:47:05.960 is not good.

00:47:07.440 So,

00:47:07.740 they're not

00:47:08.180 making and selling

00:47:09.660 as much as they used to.

00:47:11.300 Demand is low

00:47:12.240 and their prices are low.

00:47:13.560 So,

00:47:13.960 there's less inflation

00:47:15.000 in China.

00:47:16.080 Now,

00:47:16.340 the good news

00:47:17.060 is that we're

00:47:18.700 buying their products

00:47:19.780 still.

00:47:20.860 So,

00:47:21.400 that will

00:47:22.060 keep our inflation

00:47:23.220 a little bit in check

00:47:24.220 even though ours is higher.

00:47:25.960 However,

00:47:26.860 the deflationary

00:47:29.580 pressures

00:47:30.520 can be as

00:47:32.020 devastating

00:47:32.720 or worse

00:47:33.540 than

00:47:35.000 inflation.

00:47:37.420 So,

00:47:37.940 as we're worried

00:47:38.860 about inflation,

00:47:39.940 I saw Jamie Dimon

00:47:41.320 say this.

00:47:42.380 So,

00:47:42.640 the head of

00:47:43.760 Chase Morgan,

00:47:47.040 what is it?

00:47:47.920 What do they call

00:47:48.440 themselves?

00:47:49.440 Chase Morgan

00:47:50.280 or something.

00:47:51.420 So,

00:47:52.340 head of that

00:47:53.200 big bank.

00:47:53.660 J.P. Morgan Chase.

00:47:56.180 Thank you.

00:47:57.520 So,

00:47:57.840 he was saying

00:47:58.420 that

00:47:58.940 the United States

00:48:00.600 has never been

00:48:01.660 in a more

00:48:02.300 privileged

00:48:03.080 economic situation

00:48:04.940 relative

00:48:06.420 to the rest

00:48:07.080 of the world.

00:48:08.200 So,

00:48:08.460 everywhere in the world

00:48:09.280 people have their

00:48:09.900 problems at the moment

00:48:10.800 economically

00:48:11.420 but

00:48:12.420 we have this

00:48:14.220 weird situation

00:48:15.380 where we're

00:48:16.780 way better

00:48:17.680 than other people.

00:48:18.420 Right?

00:48:19.200 Are we better off

00:48:20.040 than Russia?

00:48:21.900 Probably.

00:48:22.800 Although,

00:48:23.120 that might be

00:48:24.000 a breaking point

00:48:24.700 situation.

00:48:25.980 You know,

00:48:26.140 they may be

00:48:26.520 getting close

00:48:27.180 to a breaking point.

00:48:27.980 Are we better

00:48:28.540 off than China?

00:48:30.660 Maybe.

00:48:31.620 It looks like it

00:48:32.420 according to

00:48:33.020 Jamie Dimon.

00:48:33.860 Are we better

00:48:34.520 off than Europe?

00:48:36.140 Looks like it.

00:48:37.480 And better off

00:48:38.380 than Africa,

00:48:39.220 South America,

00:48:39.940 you could go on.

00:48:40.840 We seem to be

00:48:41.700 better off

00:48:42.400 than every other

00:48:43.840 country at the

00:48:44.460 moment.

00:48:45.740 And we've also

00:48:46.720 proven that

00:48:47.620 unless China 0.92

00:48:49.380 has some good

00:48:50.000 weapons,

00:48:50.440 there's only

00:48:52.040 one superpower

00:48:52.820 because Russia

00:48:54.340 didn't really

00:48:54.820 have a military

00:48:55.580 like we imagined

00:48:56.660 they had.

00:48:57.880 It just didn't.

00:48:59.460 So,

00:49:00.340 it's starting

00:49:00.920 to look as if

00:49:01.680 America is

00:49:02.440 stronger than

00:49:03.160 it ever was

00:49:03.860 relative to

00:49:05.160 the other

00:49:05.460 countries.

00:49:06.880 Had you ever,

00:49:07.460 had you thought

00:49:08.020 about that?

00:49:09.160 Had that crossed

00:49:09.840 your mind that

00:49:10.500 America has 0.83

00:49:11.180 reached basically

00:49:12.740 a winning position

00:49:13.720 in the world?

00:49:14.460 even more so

00:49:15.620 than ever

00:49:16.200 any time

00:49:16.800 in the past.

00:49:19.140 Yeah.

00:49:20.260 I actually

00:49:20.980 agree with

00:49:21.500 everything he

00:49:22.000 said.

00:49:22.520 I agree with

00:49:23.120 100% of it.

00:49:24.620 And by the way,

00:49:25.180 J.B.

00:49:25.520 Dimon is

00:49:26.600 really good.

00:49:28.780 He's really

00:49:29.620 good at

00:49:31.380 being a

00:49:32.460 public leader,

00:49:33.780 saying the

00:49:34.280 right things

00:49:34.840 without too

00:49:35.440 much political 1.00

00:49:36.840 spin bullshit. 0.99

00:49:38.640 He's pretty 0.99

00:49:39.540 good at not

00:49:40.140 being a

00:49:40.460 bullshitter. 0.84

00:49:42.060 If he ran 0.92

00:49:42.800 for office,

00:49:43.480 it'd be hard

00:49:43.920 not to like

00:49:44.500 him.

00:49:45.340 I don't

00:49:45.620 know what

00:49:45.820 his policies

00:49:46.320 would be.

00:49:47.280 But if

00:49:47.980 you're just

00:49:48.240 going to

00:49:48.400 pick somebody

00:49:48.840 who is

00:49:49.060 smart and

00:49:49.560 capable and

00:49:50.900 doesn't seem

00:49:51.440 to lie too

00:49:52.020 much, I

00:49:53.760 don't know.

00:49:54.080 He's looking

00:49:54.440 pretty good.

00:49:55.300 I wouldn't

00:49:55.620 say no to

00:49:56.460 looking at

00:49:56.840 him in the

00:49:57.280 future as

00:49:58.500 a politician.

00:49:59.680 I don't

00:50:00.220 think he's

00:50:00.560 interested.

00:50:03.020 All right.

00:50:04.580 California

00:50:05.060 has some

00:50:05.940 legislation in

00:50:08.140 which they're

00:50:08.740 making it a

00:50:09.900 requirement to

00:50:10.840 consider race

00:50:11.920 in your

00:50:13.780 sentencing

00:50:15.120 for the

00:50:16.420 penal code.

00:50:18.360 In other

00:50:18.720 words, now

00:50:19.440 it's not

00:50:19.820 okay, it's

00:50:20.440 required.

00:50:21.880 You should

00:50:22.360 consider race

00:50:23.340 when deciding

00:50:24.380 how much of

00:50:25.040 a prison

00:50:25.520 sentence to

00:50:26.180 give.

00:50:28.640 Does that

00:50:29.300 sound like a

00:50:29.820 good idea?

00:50:31.000 You should

00:50:31.980 consider race

00:50:33.140 when deciding

00:50:35.020 how long

00:50:35.560 they go to

00:50:35.940 jail.

00:50:36.420 You should.

00:50:36.820 Now, it

00:50:40.000 sounds worse

00:50:40.800 than it

00:50:41.220 is.

00:50:42.840 Of course, it

00:50:43.540 could be worse

00:50:44.080 than it is.

00:50:44.640 It sounds

00:50:45.140 worse than it

00:50:45.660 is.

00:50:46.040 Here's what

00:50:46.520 they're trying

00:50:47.200 to do.

00:50:48.360 What they're

00:50:48.940 trying to do

00:50:49.620 is make sure 0.99

00:50:50.440 that black 1.00

00:50:50.980 people don't 0.94

00:50:51.520 go to jail

00:50:51.960 for longer 0.71

00:50:52.420 than white

00:50:52.840 people for

00:50:53.660 the same

00:50:54.000 crime.

00:50:54.720 Are you

00:50:54.940 okay with

00:50:55.260 that?

00:50:56.260 You're okay

00:50:56.860 with that,

00:50:57.320 right?

00:50:58.420 No complaint?

00:51:00.240 Of course.

00:51:01.260 Of course.

00:51:01.920 That's the

00:51:02.280 most basic

00:51:02.920 Republican belief

00:51:04.680 is that

00:51:05.180 everybody's

00:51:05.580 got to be

00:51:05.840 treated the

00:51:06.320 same under

00:51:06.840 the law.

00:51:07.940 Of course,

00:51:08.480 everybody likes

00:51:08.960 that part.

00:51:09.800 Do you think

00:51:10.300 this legislation

00:51:11.180 is going to

00:51:11.680 get us

00:51:12.080 there?

00:51:14.160 Maybe.

00:51:15.280 It might

00:51:15.620 actually work.

00:51:16.660 I have

00:51:16.880 mixed feelings

00:51:17.900 about this.

00:51:18.840 I very much

00:51:19.740 don't want

00:51:20.360 different sentences

00:51:22.140 for different

00:51:22.780 races, but I

00:51:24.220 don't think this

00:51:25.000 is designed to

00:51:25.700 make white 0.77

00:51:26.080 people go to 0.99

00:51:26.660 jail longer.

00:51:28.160 I think it's

00:51:28.800 made to make 0.99

00:51:29.540 sure that black 0.99

00:51:30.440 people don't go 0.98

00:51:31.080 to jail for too

00:51:31.740 long.

00:51:32.520 I'm all for

00:51:33.040 that.

00:51:33.320 I'm all

00:51:34.560 for that.

00:51:37.180 We'll see.

00:51:38.660 It just

00:51:39.160 sounds worse

00:51:39.880 because it's

00:51:40.360 coming from

00:51:40.780 California where

00:51:41.560 everything is

00:51:42.040 crazy.

00:51:43.780 All right.

00:51:44.760 Michigan has

00:51:45.560 passed a law

00:51:46.160 to make it

00:51:48.180 illegal to

00:51:48.780 misgender 0.90

00:51:49.300 somebody.

00:51:49.920 It'll be a

00:51:50.300 felony.

00:51:51.320 $10,000 fine.

00:51:53.220 Now, that's

00:51:53.720 only if you do

00:51:54.340 it intentionally

00:51:55.540 and wrongfully.

00:52:00.440 So you have

00:52:01.040 to be incorrect

00:52:01.980 in your

00:52:02.400 diagnosis.

00:52:03.320 In other

00:52:03.540 words, you're

00:52:03.860 calling somebody

00:52:04.400 the wrong

00:52:04.820 thing.

00:52:06.020 But it

00:52:06.620 also has to

00:52:07.080 be intentional,

00:52:08.040 meaning you're

00:52:08.660 trying to be a 1.00

00:52:09.640 dick. 0.99

00:52:10.440 So it's like a 0.97

00:52:11.020 hate crime.

00:52:13.520 Does that feel

00:52:14.160 like a good

00:52:14.620 law?

00:52:16.800 Does that feel

00:52:17.580 like that'll

00:52:18.300 work out just

00:52:18.920 really, just

00:52:19.520 the way they

00:52:19.960 hope?

00:52:22.660 How in the

00:52:23.380 world do you

00:52:23.980 prove that

00:52:25.260 they're wrong?

00:52:27.060 Imagine the

00:52:27.740 first lesson.

00:52:28.780 All right, you

00:52:29.820 were wrong and

00:52:30.820 you were doing

00:52:31.900 it intentionally,

00:52:33.120 taking you to

00:52:33.740 court.

00:52:34.680 Guy ends up in

00:52:35.460 court and

00:52:35.760 says, all

00:52:36.100 right, you're

00:52:37.720 accused of

00:52:38.340 being wrong

00:52:39.060 and being

00:52:40.380 intentional about

00:52:41.200 it.

00:52:41.920 And then what

00:52:42.460 does the

00:52:43.080 defendant say?

00:52:44.780 Prove I'm

00:52:45.460 wrong.

00:52:46.740 Prove I'm

00:52:47.260 wrong.

00:52:48.880 Go ahead.

00:52:50.340 Prove I'm

00:52:50.840 wrong.

00:52:54.600 It's going to

00:52:55.240 be whose opinion

00:52:56.080 gets to be

00:52:56.680 right.

00:52:57.020 because if

00:52:58.240 the, let's

00:52:58.840 say there's a

00:52:59.560 victim, let's 0.86

00:53:00.800 say there's a

00:53:01.380 victim, with

00:53:02.700 quotes.

00:53:03.920 So there's a

00:53:04.400 victim who's

00:53:05.060 been called

00:53:07.740 the wrong,

00:53:09.180 did they say

00:53:09.780 gender, misgender,

00:53:10.960 called the wrong

00:53:11.600 gender, don't 0.99

00:53:15.300 they have to

00:53:15.680 prove their

00:53:16.300 gender?

00:53:17.540 Like, wouldn't

00:53:17.900 you have to

00:53:18.320 prove that it's

00:53:19.000 wrong?

00:53:20.540 Like, how would

00:53:21.080 you prove that

00:53:21.660 the person who's

00:53:22.300 defining themselves

00:53:23.280 got it right and

00:53:25.540 the person who's

00:53:26.300 observing got it

00:53:27.300 wrong?

00:53:28.640 Couldn't it be the

00:53:29.320 other way around?

00:53:30.860 Couldn't the

00:53:31.360 observer be right

00:53:32.400 and the person

00:53:34.040 who's self-identifying

00:53:35.480 is wrong?

00:53:36.820 Now, you could

00:53:37.360 say that doesn't

00:53:38.000 make sense, because

00:53:38.720 if you're self-

00:53:39.360 identifying, that's

00:53:41.380 the end of the

00:53:41.820 story.

00:53:43.080 The gendering is

00:53:43.980 about self-

00:53:44.560 identification.

00:53:46.060 But is it?

00:53:47.800 Is it completely

00:53:48.900 about self-

00:53:49.520 identification?

00:53:51.180 If you looked

00:53:52.220 and presented

00:53:52.700 yourself as 100%

00:53:54.180 male, but

00:53:55.440 you said, I

00:53:55.900 want everybody

00:53:56.360 to call me

00:53:56.920 she, would

00:53:59.200 that fly? 0.59

00:54:00.620 You didn't even

00:54:01.220 pretend that you

00:54:02.100 were part of the

00:54:02.740 other, the gender

00:54:03.520 you claimed?

00:54:04.860 I don't know.

00:54:05.520 It seems to me you

00:54:06.300 could have a

00:54:06.620 situation where the

00:54:07.460 observer is right.

00:54:10.040 Am I wrong?

00:54:11.380 You couldn't have a

00:54:12.200 situation where the

00:54:13.060 observer is more

00:54:14.040 right than the

00:54:14.620 person who's

00:54:15.200 identifying as

00:54:16.220 whatever it is

00:54:16.780 they are?

00:54:18.220 I think you

00:54:18.960 could.

00:54:20.460 So I don't know

00:54:21.720 how you could

00:54:22.080 ever, like,

00:54:22.940 convict.

00:54:25.440 And what if

00:54:26.640 it's intentional

00:54:27.460 but it's not

00:54:28.700 meant for harm?

00:54:30.220 What if it's

00:54:31.020 intentional and

00:54:32.400 the intent is to

00:54:33.780 make the world a

00:54:34.680 better, safer,

00:54:36.160 more rational

00:54:36.960 place?

00:54:38.120 It just made one

00:54:39.260 person unhappy.

00:54:41.240 That's a crime.

00:54:43.460 If your intention

00:54:44.500 is to make

00:54:45.180 everybody better

00:54:46.080 off, and very,

00:54:48.440 very directly,

00:54:49.440 that's your

00:54:49.780 intention, to make

00:54:50.600 everybody better

00:54:51.260 off, protect

00:54:52.420 kids.

00:54:54.500 So how do you

00:54:55.300 prove you had a

00:54:55.880 bad intention?

00:54:57.680 Yeah, I don't

00:54:58.280 think this law

00:54:58.980 stands because it's

00:55:00.160 too vague, too

00:55:01.580 much to argue

00:55:02.440 about, and doesn't

00:55:04.260 have enough benefit.

00:55:06.400 What's the old

00:55:07.240 hackneyed saying?

00:55:09.000 The juice wouldn't

00:55:09.900 be worth the

00:55:10.500 squeeze.

00:55:11.820 Like, I get what

00:55:12.540 they're going for,

00:55:13.960 but I can't imagine

00:55:14.900 it's worth it, you

00:55:16.040 know, doing it this

00:55:16.820 way.

00:55:17.120 The problems seem

00:55:17.780 like they'd be

00:55:18.220 bigger than the

00:55:19.120 benefits.

00:55:19.600 Well, as you

00:55:22.060 knew this would

00:55:22.780 happen, the AI

00:55:24.120 doctors are coming.

00:55:25.740 So Google is

00:55:26.680 competing as hard

00:55:27.580 as it can against

00:55:28.220 Microsoft's AI,

00:55:29.900 trying to come up

00:55:30.600 with the best AI

00:55:31.780 doctor.

00:55:33.320 And one of them

00:55:34.540 is actually, was it

00:55:35.720 Google?

00:55:36.580 I think it's Google,

00:55:37.740 is actually training

00:55:38.960 it by having the AI

00:55:40.720 take medical

00:55:42.380 tests.

00:55:44.860 You know, the same

00:55:45.340 tests a doctor would

00:55:46.220 have to take to

00:55:47.920 become a doctor.

00:55:48.660 the AI is being

00:55:50.220 trained on the

00:55:50.860 questions and the

00:55:51.500 answers from those

00:55:52.260 tests.

00:55:53.160 So in theory, you

00:55:55.320 could have a human

00:55:56.020 doctor who, you

00:55:57.360 know, scored okay on

00:56:00.060 the medical exams, or

00:56:01.900 you could have an AI

00:56:02.740 who got every question

00:56:03.740 right.

00:56:05.800 Which one would you

00:56:06.780 pick?

00:56:08.560 So presumably, a real

00:56:10.600 human doctor could

00:56:11.520 pass those tests with

00:56:13.740 less than 100%

00:56:14.900 accuracy, I assume,

00:56:16.860 right?

00:56:17.020 It's probably like 70%

00:56:19.160 or something.

00:56:19.880 Does anybody know the

00:56:20.600 actual percentages?

00:56:22.300 To be a doctor, I

00:56:23.640 don't know what tests

00:56:24.260 we're talking about, but

00:56:25.240 you probably have to get

00:56:26.780 pretty high in those

00:56:27.980 tests.

00:56:28.320 I don't think 60 is

00:56:29.440 going to cut it, right?

00:56:30.800 Don't you have to get

00:56:31.380 maybe at least 75%?

00:56:34.780 I'd be happier with 90, 0.93

00:56:37.660 right?

00:56:38.820 But what if the AI gets

00:56:40.360 100% every time, and the

00:56:42.760 human doctors, even the

00:56:43.860 really good ones, are

00:56:44.580 only at 90%, which one

00:56:46.460 do you want for your

00:56:47.020 doctor?

00:56:48.240 The 90% or the 100%?

00:56:50.940 Now, you might say, but

00:56:53.120 the doctor is there in

00:56:54.980 person.

00:56:56.500 Do you think the doctor

00:56:57.540 could do a better job of

00:56:59.220 examining your suspicious

00:57:00.440 mole than the AI could?

00:57:03.360 If you just hold your arm

00:57:04.860 up to the camera and say,

00:57:06.060 all right, is that a

00:57:06.640 suspicious mole?

00:57:07.860 Do you think the human

00:57:08.880 doctor is going to beat the

00:57:09.960 AI?

00:57:11.240 I don't think so.

00:57:14.420 You say yes, but I think

00:57:16.140 the yes is maybe a year

00:57:18.740 old, meaning a year ago,

00:57:21.120 maybe.

00:57:22.000 But at the moment, no, I

00:57:23.140 think they've already

00:57:24.020 tested it.

00:57:25.220 My understanding is they've

00:57:26.460 already tested the

00:57:27.480 suspicious mole test, and

00:57:29.320 the AI already beats the

00:57:30.660 humans.

00:57:31.680 I think that's already

00:57:32.480 done.

00:57:34.820 All right.

00:57:36.460 Well, I do imagine that

00:57:39.300 we'll all have AI doctors

00:57:40.940 right on our phones.

00:57:42.940 The only thing that could

00:57:44.140 stop it would be what?

00:57:46.300 What could stop it?

00:57:48.380 The American Medical

00:57:49.780 Association.

00:57:51.380 Do you know why we didn't

00:57:53.020 have telehealth before the

00:57:55.280 pandemic?

00:57:57.300 What was the really good

00:57:58.820 reason we didn't have

00:57:59.920 telehealth doctors on Zoom?

00:58:03.280 Why didn't we have that

00:58:04.200 before the...

00:58:04.740 It was because the

00:58:06.420 American Medical

00:58:07.100 Association wanted it to

00:58:09.840 be illegal to practice

00:58:11.220 across state lines.

00:58:13.020 And if you can't do it

00:58:14.240 across state lines, it's

00:58:15.780 sort of a problem for that

00:58:16.920 business model, right?

00:58:18.440 Because you're too limited

00:58:19.780 by one state.

00:58:21.420 So the AMA, presumably,

00:58:24.460 to protect the jobs of

00:58:26.660 the doctors, should come

00:58:28.500 out and tell you your AI is 0.90

00:58:30.160 going to kill you, and if 1.00

00:58:31.840 you don't have a human 1.00

00:58:32.520 doctor, you're all dead. 0.93

00:58:33.780 And the data proves it.

00:58:37.800 So there's going to be a

00:58:38.900 fight, but if the AMA is

00:58:42.080 fighting against Google and

00:58:43.320 Microsoft, who's going to

00:58:46.700 win?

00:58:47.940 If you put up the AMA against

00:58:49.900 Google and Microsoft, who

00:58:51.340 wins?

00:58:52.140 It's Google and Microsoft.

00:58:54.140 Am I wrong?

00:58:55.740 I think they win every time.

00:58:57.320 Because they can control the

00:58:59.880 government with money in a

00:59:01.040 way the AMA wishes it could.

00:59:04.520 All right.

00:59:06.700 So now the story is that

00:59:08.360 Putin actually met with

00:59:10.040 Prigozhin after the failed

00:59:12.620 attempted alleged coup.

00:59:15.340 And that Putin met with 30

00:59:17.980 military commanders and that

00:59:20.240 Prigozhin was there.

00:59:21.960 So some are saying that that

00:59:25.100 would be an indication that

00:59:26.920 Putin and Prigozhin are, you 0.91

00:59:29.400 know, at least somehow

00:59:31.900 working together.

00:59:33.540 Does that sound right to you?

00:59:35.940 Do you think there was a

00:59:37.200 friendly meeting of all the

00:59:38.620 military commanders and

00:59:41.100 Prigozhin was just one of 0.99

00:59:42.280 them?

00:59:43.340 And that story is completely

00:59:45.020 true.

00:59:46.040 You believe that?

00:59:46.960 No, I don't know what

00:59:50.840 happened, but let me tell you

00:59:53.260 what I think happened.

00:59:55.120 Do you remember the famous

00:59:56.400 video of Saddam Hussein in a

01:00:01.060 big meeting of all the

01:00:02.800 political people in Iraq before

01:00:05.620 Saddam took over? 0.88

01:00:07.360 And he had his guards come in

01:00:09.020 and one at a time removed

01:00:11.520 leaders from the room and had 0.62

01:00:14.880 them executed immediately. 0.86

01:00:16.960 While the others were waiting 0.94

01:00:18.500 in the room to see if they

01:00:19.520 would be the next ones to be

01:00:20.640 taken out.

01:00:22.020 And after he completed that,

01:00:24.560 not many people went against

01:00:26.140 Saddam because they realized 0.99

01:00:28.040 he was just so badass, he was 0.99

01:00:30.340 going to murder you while you 0.99

01:00:31.520 sat there. 1.00

01:00:32.280 Like while you're sitting there,

01:00:33.660 he's going to take the guy next 0.98

01:00:34.800 to you and murder him right 0.99

01:00:35.960 outside the door. 1.00

01:00:37.380 While you sit there, waiting to

01:00:39.700 know if you're next.

01:00:42.340 I think that probably is a, in a

01:00:46.080 very sort of indirect general

01:00:48.260 way.

01:00:48.640 I think that's what Putin did.

01:00:51.240 I do not think Putin had an

01:00:53.080 ordinary meeting with his

01:00:54.260 commanders to talk about the

01:00:56.140 fate of the Ukraine war and make

01:00:57.680 some strategy.

01:00:59.860 Putin's biggest problem is he

01:01:02.720 doesn't know who's on the other

01:01:05.100 side.

01:01:06.180 I would not be surprised if

01:01:08.160 Purgosin was there and the 30

01:01:10.940 commanders were there.

01:01:11.920 And while they were there, Putin

01:01:14.740 had his generals come in and

01:01:16.840 remove two or three of those

01:01:18.520 commanders while the others

01:01:20.600 watched it.

01:01:22.280 Knowing they will never see those

01:01:23.920 commanders again.

01:01:26.100 Right? 0.97

01:01:26.740 That they're going to be executed 0.99

01:01:27.820 immediately. 0.89

01:01:29.020 For, presumably for being part of

01:01:31.680 Purgosin's thing.

01:01:33.780 Now, that would also be, in my

01:01:35.980 opinion, the last time any of those

01:01:38.120 commanders would see Purgosin.

01:01:39.600 Because I think it would be the

01:01:41.560 ultimate dictator, baller move to

01:01:45.400 have the guy who planned and tried

01:01:47.360 to execute a coup sitting right

01:01:49.580 next to you while you take out a

01:01:53.900 couple more commanders.

01:01:56.620 And, you know, surrounded by people

01:01:57.980 with guns who are on your side.

01:01:59.960 I think it was probably the scariest

01:02:02.420 meeting that anybody's ever been

01:02:05.020 since Saddam. 0.88

01:02:05.780 I think those commanders were, were

01:02:09.880 being tested for their loyalty and

01:02:12.260 probably some of them were taken

01:02:13.640 out and shot.

01:02:16.940 Like right then? 0.95

01:02:18.520 That's my guess.

01:02:19.760 Because I also ask myself, what would I

01:02:21.640 do in that situation?

01:02:23.740 Do you ever put yourself in the

01:02:25.880 murderous dictator frame of mind, just

01:02:28.580 say, well, what would I do? 0.60

01:02:30.300 If I were a murderous dictator, how

01:02:31.920 would I play this?

01:02:32.660 And that's how I would play it.

01:02:35.640 Because Putin really has a problem of

01:02:38.040 not knowing who the traitors are.

01:02:40.540 It's a big, big, big, big, big, big

01:02:42.940 problem.

01:02:43.880 So he would have to do something pretty

01:02:45.800 dramatic to get past it if he can.

01:02:49.680 And the most dramatic thing you could do

01:02:51.640 is bring all those commanders, put them

01:02:53.280 in one room, and take two of them out 1.00

01:02:55.320 and shoot them while the rest of them 1.00

01:02:58.060 are sitting there. 1.00

01:02:58.560 Now, I'm not saying he, you know,

01:03:01.500 necessarily physically shot anybody.

01:03:03.940 I'm saying that he got them there to

01:03:06.440 scare them and to weed out the 1.00

01:03:09.420 traitors and to find out who was

01:03:11.320 loyal and who wasn't.

01:03:12.980 And I think it probably, probably moved

01:03:15.600 him forward a little bit.

01:03:17.300 But I don't believe you're going to see

01:03:19.140 Prigozhin again. 0.97

01:03:20.680 I think that was his one purpose.

01:03:23.340 Putin needed him for that, and now he

01:03:24.700 doesn't need him.

01:03:25.340 He's probably alive, but you're not

01:03:27.080 going to see him again.

01:03:27.980 You would be under Putin's control.

01:03:30.520 All right, Biden is getting some pushback

01:03:32.360 for saying that he grudgingly approved

01:03:36.500 these cluster munitions which are banned,

01:03:39.120 and I think 100 countries banned them

01:03:41.420 as a war crime.

01:03:42.440 They're so terrible.

01:03:43.220 But he grudgingly says he approved them,

01:03:46.200 and the reason is that we were running

01:03:48.120 out of artillery shells.

01:03:51.220 What?

01:03:51.780 And so he says it's temporary until we build

01:03:57.220 up more artillery shells.

01:03:59.160 But then the critic said, my God, you just

01:04:02.340 told our nemeses that we're out of artillery

01:04:05.740 shells or we're low on them.

01:04:08.400 But are you worried about that?

01:04:11.400 That's not real.

01:04:13.340 That's just politics.

01:04:15.540 Because if, let me say it a different way.

01:04:17.940 If Trump had said this, would I be bothered?

01:04:21.540 No.

01:04:22.660 Do you know why?

01:04:24.800 Who's going to attack America in a way

01:04:28.060 in which we need artillery to defend ourselves?

01:04:31.920 Have you ever think of that?

01:04:33.720 What is the scenario in which America needs artillery?

01:04:38.660 Taiwan might need artillery, but it's not going

01:04:41.800 to decide.

01:04:42.480 Taiwan, the fate of Taiwan is not going

01:04:45.360 to be decided by artillery.

01:04:47.700 Do you think Taiwan can win by having an island

01:04:51.700 that's shooting artillery back at the mainland?

01:04:54.360 For what?

01:04:56.400 For what?

01:04:58.420 Now, we certainly have enough artillery

01:05:00.600 to take out the cartels. 0.99

01:05:02.980 If we were dumb enough to use artillery for that, 0.98

01:05:05.520 it would make more sense to use drones and airplanes. 0.94

01:05:07.540 But did anybody who was analyzing the story

01:05:12.460 about Biden saying we were running out

01:05:15.620 of artillery shells, or at least running lower

01:05:18.920 than we wanted to run, we're not out, of course,

01:05:21.820 does anybody think that mattered?

01:05:26.220 Was there any military analysis that said,

01:05:28.780 but, you know, to be honest,

01:05:30.580 we have no use for artillery whatsoever?

01:05:33.420 I can't think of any use for it, can you?

01:05:35.160 Artillery is for a land war. 0.92

01:05:38.560 What, is Mexico going to invade?

01:05:41.020 Canada?

01:05:42.440 And the artillery doesn't shoot across the Atlantic?

01:05:46.040 Like, who are you going to shoot?

01:05:48.000 So, unless we were to,

01:05:50.700 unless we needed to give them to our allies,

01:05:53.320 they weren't, like, protecting the homeland

01:05:55.320 with artillery.

01:05:57.120 Am I wrong about that?

01:05:59.940 I keep saying these military things

01:06:02.060 like I have any military expertise whatsoever,

01:06:04.420 but I'm not wrong, am I?

01:06:06.340 Yeah, no, South Korea can make 0.90

01:06:08.380 all the artillery they want.

01:06:09.680 They don't need ours. 0.68

01:06:14.320 All right.

01:06:16.440 So, there's that.

01:06:20.620 And look how easily,

01:06:22.660 so easily Biden moved from

01:06:25.680 these munitions are a war crime

01:06:27.700 to, well, I guess if you need them.

01:06:30.020 So, the only thing,

01:06:32.100 just think about how horrible this is.

01:06:35.320 So, we have a president,

01:06:37.180 you know, our leader,

01:06:38.280 who should be our,

01:06:39.660 in some ways,

01:06:40.800 should be a model for us

01:06:42.200 of how to behave.

01:06:43.820 I mean, not his personal life,

01:06:45.140 but his public life

01:06:47.040 should be a model for how to behave.

01:06:48.800 And here, he said the right thing

01:06:50.480 at one point.

01:06:51.860 These munitions,

01:06:53.340 these cluster bombs

01:06:54.360 are too horrible,

01:06:55.700 they're a war crime, 0.86

01:06:56.660 we shouldn't use them.

01:06:57.380 And then the first time

01:06:59.560 he thought there was

01:07:00.520 some advantage in using them,

01:07:02.820 he used them.

01:07:04.620 All it took was

01:07:05.980 they had to be useful.

01:07:07.600 So, all of his moralizing

01:07:09.320 about, you know,

01:07:10.420 how bad they are,

01:07:12.380 none of it meant anything.

01:07:14.420 It meant nothing.

01:07:15.680 Because the moment we needed them,

01:07:17.700 and not even for homeland security,

01:07:20.240 it's not even our own homeland.

01:07:22.200 The moment he needed them

01:07:23.340 for a strategic geopolitical purpose,

01:07:26.520 boom.

01:07:27.380 There they are.

01:07:29.100 So, there's your,

01:07:30.020 there's your,

01:07:31.380 there's your morality right there.

01:07:36.200 And it does make me wonder

01:07:37.600 if Trump would have done that.

01:07:40.260 I think he might have.

01:07:42.120 But I don't know for sure.

01:07:43.800 Because I feel like

01:07:44.980 there's something deeply wrong

01:07:48.160 with making a stand as a president

01:07:50.020 that this is beyond the pale.

01:07:52.520 These weapons should not be used.

01:07:54.760 And we're even telling the other side

01:07:56.520 what weapons they can and cannot use.

01:07:58.780 You know, this is a red line.

01:07:59.960 If you use these chemical weapons,

01:08:01.560 or if you use nuclear,

01:08:03.240 it's a red line.

01:08:04.640 And then we cross our own red line

01:08:06.820 like it didn't even matter.

01:08:09.040 Now, I don't know if it's a good decision

01:08:10.700 or a bad decision militarily.

01:08:12.200 But it's a big problem

01:08:16.120 when your president can say two opposites

01:08:18.540 and act like that's okay.

01:08:21.540 Oh, it's immoral.

01:08:22.780 Well, if you need them, it's fine.

01:08:26.920 All right.

01:08:27.460 I saw an article today.

01:08:31.080 I don't know how true it is.

01:08:32.560 But it's a claim that the...

01:08:34.480 You know how the press

01:08:36.120 likes to refer to think tanks.

01:08:39.060 So the so-called think tanks

01:08:40.720 are a bunch of smart people

01:08:41.960 who write up smart opinions.

01:08:45.660 Because they're smart.

01:08:47.640 And so the news,

01:08:49.200 quoting think tanks,

01:08:50.320 makes perfect sense, right?

01:08:52.120 The think tanks are the ones

01:08:53.320 who've got all the thinkers.

01:08:54.760 So you want to know what they think

01:08:56.100 and what they're saying.

01:08:57.220 And especially they like to talk about wars.

01:09:00.040 So the think tanks really weigh in

01:09:01.880 on these geopolitical global things.

01:09:04.640 It's like the war in Ukraine, for example.

01:09:07.300 And we find out that from...

01:09:11.580 Why did I not name...

01:09:13.740 Didn't write down the person who did this,

01:09:15.360 which was good work.

01:09:16.220 But anyway,

01:09:18.440 media outlets have cited think tanks

01:09:21.680 with financial backing

01:09:23.100 from the defense industry

01:09:24.580 85% of the time.

01:09:28.240 So 85% of the time

01:09:30.460 that your news referred to a think tank,

01:09:33.980 the think tank was funded

01:09:35.320 by the military-industrial complex.

01:09:38.820 Did your news ever tell you that?

01:09:41.840 When your news says,

01:09:43.360 such and such a think tank said this,

01:09:46.760 do they say at the same time,

01:09:48.080 but remember they're funded

01:09:49.020 by the people who make weapons.

01:09:50.320 So if they're in favor of wars,

01:09:53.600 just remember they make money

01:09:55.980 from weapons indirectly

01:09:58.840 because they're funded

01:09:59.680 by the weapons industry.

01:10:01.500 Now, don't you think

01:10:02.640 that's a little bit important?

01:10:05.080 Just a little bit important

01:10:06.520 to know that you're quoting somebody

01:10:08.480 who's literally making money

01:10:09.920 from the war indirectly,

01:10:12.280 but literally.

01:10:12.940 That's pretty important.

01:10:16.360 85% of them.

01:10:17.900 So I would give you this advice.

01:10:21.460 If you hear that a think tank

01:10:23.500 has been mentioned,

01:10:26.000 just say to yourself,

01:10:26.940 oh, they're selling weapons.

01:10:29.320 Think tank equals selling weapons.

01:10:32.280 That's your reframe.

01:10:34.360 You'll be in good shape

01:10:35.600 if you just tell yourself

01:10:36.640 think tank is a weapon sales,

01:10:39.980 basically a sales force

01:10:41.920 for the weapons industry.

01:10:44.400 It's not a tank.

01:10:46.240 It's not about thinking.

01:10:47.880 And it's not even about

01:10:48.840 legitimate opinions.

01:10:51.120 It's simply a sales force

01:10:53.300 for the weapons people.

01:10:56.000 Oh, the think tank thinks

01:10:57.260 we should invade Ukraine. 1.00

01:10:59.000 How convenient for weapons sales.

01:11:02.020 Yeah, and marketing.

01:11:03.160 Actually, marketing would be better.

01:11:04.460 It's marketing for weapons manufacturers.

01:11:07.960 And now you could say,

01:11:11.920 but Scott, 15% of them

01:11:13.520 are not funded by the weapons people.

01:11:15.580 To which I say,

01:11:17.020 how do you know which 15%?

01:11:19.140 Are you an expert?

01:11:20.360 Just ignore everything from think tanks.

01:11:22.760 Think tanks are a way

01:11:23.940 to launder opinions.

01:11:26.720 Let's say you launder an opinion.

01:11:28.440 Put it through the think tank.

01:11:29.580 Oh, it's not we weapons makers

01:11:32.240 who say this is a good idea.

01:11:34.200 It's the think tank.

01:11:36.040 It's the think tank.

01:11:36.960 We just make weapons.

01:11:38.540 Oh, we're just over here

01:11:40.180 making weapons

01:11:40.920 and funding the guy

01:11:42.800 who's at the think tank

01:11:43.960 telling us you really need

01:11:45.720 a lot of those weapons.

01:11:47.260 You better buy some weapons.

01:11:49.420 Running out of shells.

01:11:52.540 And that, ladies and gentlemen,

01:11:54.160 is a conclusion

01:11:55.000 of my prepared remarks

01:11:56.280 for what some will call

01:11:58.360 the best live stream

01:11:59.300 that's ever been presented

01:12:00.380 in the history of live streams.

01:12:02.100 But some will not.

01:12:03.800 Some will not.

01:12:04.540 Some will.

01:12:06.880 Some will not.

01:12:08.460 But I'm going to say goodbye

01:12:09.940 to YouTube.

01:12:11.320 Thanks for joining.

01:12:12.760 And I will talk to you tomorrow.

01:12:15.140 And I'm going to spend some time
