Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2170 Scott Adams： Find Out Who Ended Their Political Career Yesterday, And Lots More Fun

00:00:00.000 Do, na-da-da-ba-ba.

00:00:04.520 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:10.380 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it's the best thing that's ever happened.

00:00:14.640 And if you'd like to take it up to the levels that only the psychics could imagine,

00:00:20.640 well, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,

00:00:24.040 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:27.020 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:28.660 I like coffee.

00:00:31.100 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:34.820 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:36.440 It's called Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:39.600 And it happens now.

00:00:40.660 Go.

00:00:45.260 Double sip, double sip.

00:00:46.840 I'm calling Double Sip.

00:00:48.300 Everybody.

00:00:50.660 Double sip.

00:00:52.000 Go.

00:00:56.020 Ah, double R, double R.

00:00:58.660 So good.

00:01:00.700 I just thought you needed a little extra.

00:01:03.040 Didn't you?

00:01:03.820 Didn't you need a little extra?

00:01:05.620 Yeah, I think you did.

00:01:07.240 Yeah, this is the show that gives you a little extra.

00:01:10.100 Well, I saw a tweet from a Twitter account called The Rabbit Hole.

00:01:16.340 They showed that white liberals have the worst mental health,

00:01:20.180 at least as judged by people who went to try to get help.

00:01:25.040 Now, what do you suppose that would be?

00:01:27.320 What do you think would cause that?

00:01:28.540 What would possibly cause the white liberals to have the worst mental health?

00:01:36.140 What would be some possible hypotheses?

00:01:41.600 I don't know.

00:01:42.160 Well, I can't think of anything, can you?

00:01:47.020 Can't think of a thing.

00:01:49.240 Well, let's speculate, though.

00:01:52.720 Here are some differences.

00:01:55.000 Liberal whites believe the news.

00:01:58.620 Would you agree?

00:02:00.540 Liberal whites are most likely to believe the news.

00:02:03.540 Imagine how chilling that would be.

00:02:08.140 Do any of you, you know, I assume if you watch my live stream,

00:02:12.380 you know not to believe the news, right?

00:02:16.040 Is there anybody here who is willing to say they believe the news?

00:02:19.480 Go.

00:02:20.880 Anybody?

00:02:22.000 Just one person.

00:02:23.180 Okay, we got a yes.

00:02:25.840 Somebody said yes.

00:02:27.380 They believe the news over on YouTube.

00:02:29.920 Well, I wouldn't admit it.

00:02:31.040 I mean, it's fine to believe whatever you want,

00:02:34.500 but just my advice,

00:02:36.620 I wouldn't admit that you believe the news.

00:02:39.720 In 2023, that's not really a good look.

00:02:43.540 So imagine if you believe the news,

00:02:45.460 you think that the climate is going to fry you,

00:02:47.460 white supremacists are behind the furniture.

00:02:50.180 There was a coup attempt recently, you would believe,

00:02:53.600 and that Trump is Putin's fluffer.

00:02:57.780 Trump is Putin's fluffer.

00:02:59.060 If you believe the news.

00:03:01.040 But conservatives are less likely to believe the news.

00:03:06.180 They tend to believe in stuff like hard work and family and obeying laws.

00:03:11.740 And if all of that goes wrong,

00:03:14.680 if you're conservative and you do everything right,

00:03:18.400 you obey the laws, stay off drugs, stay in school,

00:03:22.280 you get married to a good mate and have kids.

00:03:24.680 If you do everything right and it still doesn't work out,

00:03:29.820 you've still got a backup.

00:03:33.200 Heaven.

00:03:34.980 Well, at least it'll be better later.

00:03:37.420 It might be terrible now, but wait till later.

00:03:40.420 Wow.

00:03:41.600 I did everything right, so I'm going to heaven.

00:03:43.400 So you've got one group of people who think they're going to rot in the earth

00:03:48.500 immediately after the climate fries them and the white supremacists murder them

00:03:54.420 and the coup takes over the United States and turns this into whatever.

00:03:59.760 And one group thinks that they have a perfectly good plan for happiness in this world,

00:04:03.920 but if that didn't work out,

00:04:06.740 they've got a second perfectly good plan for an eternity of happiness.

00:04:12.340 What would you expect?

00:04:15.380 What would you expect would be the mental health outcome of those two systems?

00:04:21.660 Design is destiny.

00:04:24.420 You have two systems, and they're designed for exactly the outcome that they delivered.

00:04:30.020 The conservatives designed a system that delivers happiness.

00:04:33.360 Most of the time.

00:04:35.680 And the left has designed a system that almost can't.

00:04:40.020 Almost can't.

00:04:41.420 I saw Representative Crenshaw, he was talking in Congress,

00:04:48.060 and he was railing against the trans operations of children.

00:04:54.000 And he said there was a 45,000% increase in transition surgeries,

00:04:58.560 hospitals that do the surgery,

00:05:00.840 and that Republicans weren't, quote, making it up.

00:05:05.920 He went on to argue that peer pressure

00:05:08.820 might be the largest cause of the increase.

00:05:13.300 Peer pressure.

00:05:13.800 And I said to myself,

00:05:17.120 what kind of peer pressure do you get on the left versus the right?

00:05:23.360 Have you ever thought about that?

00:05:24.540 Because there's peer pressure everywhere.

00:05:26.640 But the people on the right get sort of a different flavor of pressure.

00:05:30.360 For example, if you're on the political right,

00:05:33.460 the peer pressure, and I hear it all the time,

00:05:36.160 would be to clean your room, go to the gym, develop skills,

00:05:40.840 find a good mate, and have children.

00:05:43.420 And maybe, you know, go to church.

00:05:46.600 Wouldn't you agree that's the peer pressure on the right?

00:05:49.820 Right?

00:05:50.420 Clean your room, go to the gym, develop skills,

00:05:52.640 find a good mate, work hard, have kids.

00:05:55.180 Peer pressure.

00:05:56.640 That's some bad peer pressure right there.

00:05:58.120 But if you're, that's if you're on the right.

00:06:01.680 If you're on the left,

00:06:02.720 the peer pressure is a little bit different,

00:06:04.200 and it goes like this.

00:06:06.100 You might be the wrong gender.

00:06:10.440 And scene.

00:06:14.020 So what do you expect that those two systems

00:06:17.200 would get you the same outcome?

00:06:19.520 Both peer pressure.

00:06:21.180 It's both peer pressure.

00:06:23.120 One wants you to clean your room, go to the gym, get a job,

00:06:26.240 work hard, develop skills,

00:06:27.620 find a good mate, give merit.

00:06:30.640 And the other says,

00:06:31.960 I'm not sure you're the right gender.

00:06:34.120 You might not be.

00:06:36.520 So do you think they'd have different outcomes?

00:06:38.580 I don't know.

00:06:39.220 Big mystery.

00:06:41.180 All right, well,

00:06:42.500 the publication The Hill

00:06:45.820 had some things to say about

00:06:48.340 Tucker Carlson's interview with Andrew Tate.

00:06:52.180 And, you know, they talk about how he's,

00:06:55.200 Tate has got a big following

00:06:56.840 for his toxic masculinity

00:06:58.900 and stuff like that.

00:07:00.860 But they say that

00:07:02.040 they want to make sure that you know

00:07:04.660 that Andrew Tate is not the role model you want.

00:07:08.260 Right?

00:07:08.480 That's what The Hill wants you to know.

00:07:10.680 And so they quote somebody,

00:07:11.700 said,

00:07:11.860 this is not a husband,

00:07:13.860 father,

00:07:14.820 head of household,

00:07:15.700 leave it to be a revision of masculinity,

00:07:17.600 somebody named Dashgard said.

00:07:19.840 This is a new thing.

00:07:22.460 And that Carlson was,

00:07:24.420 you know,

00:07:24.820 trying,

00:07:25.620 presumably,

00:07:26.240 they say,

00:07:27.500 The Hill says,

00:07:28.920 he was trying to maybe get that

00:07:30.480 Andrew Tate audience

00:07:32.320 to,

00:07:33.380 you know,

00:07:34.200 to be his audience as well.

00:07:35.460 Well,

00:07:36.340 I would argue

00:07:37.580 that everybody who's doing this for a living

00:07:40.320 wants a bigger audience.

00:07:43.780 I'm not sure that's a revelation.

00:07:46.180 Yes,

00:07:46.560 they interview people

00:07:47.620 to get an audience.

00:07:50.580 Surprise.

00:07:51.740 Surprise.

00:07:53.380 All right.

00:07:53.800 But here's some of the things

00:07:55.360 that they said.

00:07:57.980 Tate's audience,

00:07:59.180 this is also this Dashgard person,

00:08:01.380 Tate's audience is primarily made up

00:08:03.900 of young men

00:08:04.540 who are,

00:08:05.380 quote,

00:08:05.860 kind of confused

00:08:07.080 about their place in society.

00:08:09.720 Huh.

00:08:10.920 Young men

00:08:11.800 who are kind of confused

00:08:13.580 about their place in society.

00:08:16.760 Was that,

00:08:17.340 was that confusion caused by,

00:08:20.400 was it caused by Tucker

00:08:21.620 or Andrew Tate?

00:08:23.760 Which one of those

00:08:24.780 was confusing the kids

00:08:26.040 about their place in society?

00:08:28.440 Because I'm pretty sure

00:08:29.540 that both of them

00:08:30.220 had a pretty clear vision

00:08:31.280 of what the place

00:08:32.880 in society of children is

00:08:34.840 and boys in particular.

00:08:38.020 But I wonder

00:08:38.700 who confused,

00:08:39.600 who confused these young men?

00:08:41.780 What would it,

00:08:42.520 what would it be

00:08:43.240 that would confuse

00:08:44.000 these young men?

00:08:45.660 Was it the political right?

00:08:49.220 I don't think

00:08:50.060 the right confused them.

00:08:51.960 I've got a feeling

00:08:52.820 that the left confused them.

00:08:55.520 But it,

00:08:56.260 but it goes further than that.

00:08:58.900 So there,

00:08:59.700 there's some kind of narrative

00:09:00.660 being baked

00:09:01.280 that the,

00:09:02.540 the Andrew Tates

00:09:03.580 are,

00:09:04.440 you know,

00:09:04.660 getting all the,

00:09:05.380 the young men worked up.

00:09:07.340 And here,

00:09:08.060 here are the men

00:09:08.780 that they lumped

00:09:09.540 in the same bucket.

00:09:11.160 The manosphere.

00:09:12.580 So now there's something

00:09:13.380 called the manosphere.

00:09:14.820 Well,

00:09:15.100 it's been around for a while.

00:09:16.560 But according to this article,

00:09:18.280 they're lumping together

00:09:19.360 in the manosphere

00:09:20.400 where all the misogynist people

00:09:23.180 who would follow Tate

00:09:24.320 and want to be the head

00:09:25.820 of the household

00:09:26.500 and the strong men

00:09:27.540 and exercise

00:09:28.740 and do all that

00:09:29.600 and have plenty of women

00:09:30.640 because they're high value men.

00:09:32.420 They put them

00:09:33.080 in the same category

00:09:33.960 as the incels.

00:09:36.560 Does that make sense?

00:09:38.600 The incels

00:09:39.260 are literally people

00:09:40.180 who have taken themselves

00:09:41.220 out of the man-woman

00:09:42.380 fight.

00:09:44.500 They've decided

00:09:45.300 they're just not going to have

00:09:46.260 women in their life.

00:09:47.180 They're still hetero.

00:09:48.900 They just have failed

00:09:50.320 and don't want to be part of it.

00:09:52.040 They're literally

00:09:52.680 the opposite.

00:09:54.540 The manosphere

00:09:55.240 does not include

00:09:56.220 Andrew Tate

00:09:57.700 and incels.

00:09:59.780 They're not on the same team.

00:10:02.360 I mean,

00:10:03.080 they might watch his stuff,

00:10:04.480 but they're clearly

00:10:05.200 not on the same team.

00:10:07.940 All right.

00:10:08.640 Well,

00:10:08.960 I thought that was

00:10:09.560 kind of silly

00:10:11.280 and maybe

00:10:11.960 it feels like

00:10:13.760 it feels like

00:10:15.380 the political left

00:10:16.780 needs to

00:10:17.660 defend itself

00:10:19.300 from these ideas.

00:10:22.800 And so

00:10:23.340 I saw a lot about

00:10:24.240 trad wives

00:10:25.160 on TikTok

00:10:25.680 and, you know,

00:10:26.780 there's this whole pushback

00:10:28.060 about the idea,

00:10:30.220 but

00:10:30.420 here's something

00:10:33.580 that

00:10:33.900 somebody named

00:10:34.820 Whitney Phillips said,

00:10:36.040 a professor of

00:10:36.660 digital platforms

00:10:37.400 and ethics

00:10:37.920 at the University

00:10:39.040 of Oregon.

00:10:41.820 He said,

00:10:42.860 discourses,

00:10:43.820 there's a punchline

00:10:44.940 to this,

00:10:45.380 so wait till the end.

00:10:46.780 Discourses around

00:10:47.980 gender and around

00:10:48.780 gender roles,

00:10:49.620 that's just baked

00:10:50.680 into the cake

00:10:51.460 of a lot of

00:10:52.740 conservatism.

00:10:55.200 Is that not

00:10:56.200 baked into the cake

00:10:57.140 of literally everything?

00:10:59.880 Genders?

00:11:01.560 Is there,

00:11:02.140 is the left

00:11:02.880 not,

00:11:04.940 are they ignoring

00:11:05.760 gender?

00:11:06.580 I thought the left

00:11:07.440 was obsessed with it.

00:11:10.240 But sure,

00:11:11.100 it's about,

00:11:11.560 something about

00:11:12.160 conservatism.

00:11:12.760 And then the

00:11:14.440 professor goes on,

00:11:15.780 so it isn't a surprise

00:11:16.760 at all

00:11:18.360 that you see

00:11:18.780 some foothold

00:11:19.520 for beliefs

00:11:20.640 such as Tate's,

00:11:22.200 even though

00:11:23.100 they are on

00:11:23.640 the extreme end.

00:11:25.640 Are they?

00:11:28.260 Are Andrew Tate's

00:11:30.220 beliefs

00:11:30.560 extreme?

00:11:33.140 Would you define

00:11:34.080 them that way?

00:11:34.520 I don't know.

00:11:38.280 I think they seem

00:11:39.160 extreme to some

00:11:40.140 people who would

00:11:41.200 prefer that they

00:11:43.900 not exist.

00:11:46.220 But it seemed to me

00:11:47.700 that the entire

00:11:48.480 point of what he

00:11:49.440 was doing,

00:11:50.860 I should not try

00:11:51.620 to speak for him,

00:11:52.360 I guess,

00:11:52.980 but my interpretation

00:11:54.000 of Tate's point

00:11:56.620 is that

00:11:58.440 it was the

00:12:00.560 opposite of

00:12:01.200 extreme.

00:12:01.720 literally

00:12:04.840 conservative.

00:12:07.500 Now,

00:12:07.720 I'm not saying

00:12:08.280 I support him

00:12:09.600 or agree

00:12:10.200 with what he's

00:12:10.720 saying.

00:12:11.040 That's a different

00:12:11.520 conversation.

00:12:12.520 I'm just saying

00:12:13.060 he's presenting

00:12:13.680 something which

00:12:14.940 is literally

00:12:15.520 more like a

00:12:16.420 conservative,

00:12:17.540 traditional,

00:12:18.840 time-tested,

00:12:20.220 tested through

00:12:21.200 all of

00:12:22.080 civilization,

00:12:24.260 sort of an

00:12:24.800 ordinary.

00:12:26.440 It only seems

00:12:27.300 extreme because

00:12:28.340 of where things

00:12:28.880 went.

00:12:30.300 It's not extreme

00:12:31.260 because where

00:12:31.800 it is.

00:12:33.000 It's extreme

00:12:33.720 because where

00:12:34.300 everybody else

00:12:34.920 went.

00:12:36.500 He's right in

00:12:37.040 the middle of

00:12:37.640 ordinary civilization

00:12:38.840 as far as I

00:12:39.460 can tell.

00:12:41.200 Which civilization

00:12:42.620 thought men

00:12:43.220 should be weak?

00:12:45.460 Do you remember

00:12:46.340 some civilization

00:12:47.280 that said,

00:12:47.680 you know what

00:12:48.020 we'd like?

00:12:49.020 We'd like the

00:12:49.760 men to be weak.

00:12:51.720 I've never heard

00:12:52.240 of that.

00:12:53.300 He's literally

00:12:54.140 right in the

00:12:54.620 middle of the

00:12:55.100 most ordinary

00:12:55.920 human biological

00:12:57.680 philosophy that's

00:12:59.800 ever existed in

00:13:00.620 the history of

00:13:01.220 human civilization.

00:13:03.320 No, he's

00:13:03.880 extreme.

00:13:04.600 He's extreme.

00:13:05.820 Although I

00:13:06.280 admit he's

00:13:06.720 provocative so

00:13:07.520 you can say

00:13:07.900 he's extreme

00:13:08.460 in the sense

00:13:09.460 that he causes

00:13:10.220 people to get

00:13:11.760 all worked

00:13:12.580 up.

00:13:13.540 But here's the

00:13:14.060 part that just

00:13:15.280 blew me away

00:13:15.940 from Professor

00:13:16.560 Phillips.

00:13:17.640 He says that

00:13:18.160 these beliefs

00:13:18.800 exist within

00:13:20.480 the same kind

00:13:21.360 of spectrum

00:13:21.960 that is really

00:13:23.780 emphasizing that

00:13:24.700 men and women

00:13:25.260 are different.

00:13:25.840 Now, that

00:13:30.300 might have

00:13:30.600 been a little

00:13:31.000 bit out of

00:13:31.460 context.

00:13:32.760 It feels like

00:13:33.520 it might have

00:13:33.860 been out of

00:13:34.220 context.

00:13:35.260 But still,

00:13:35.960 the Hill

00:13:36.140 published it.

00:13:38.200 I'm guessing

00:13:38.940 that the Hill

00:13:39.640 is more

00:13:40.060 responsible for

00:13:40.860 this quote

00:13:41.480 than the person

00:13:42.960 they attributed

00:13:43.540 it to.

00:13:44.260 You know that's

00:13:44.800 the thing,

00:13:45.220 right?

00:13:46.080 Do you all

00:13:46.520 know that quotes

00:13:48.000 are sometimes

00:13:48.720 made up even

00:13:49.520 by legitimate

00:13:50.620 media?

00:13:51.480 Did you know

00:13:51.920 that?

00:13:52.820 Did you all

00:13:53.320 know that quotes

00:13:53.900 are, even

00:13:54.500 when they put

00:13:55.380 quotes on it,

00:13:56.820 it's actually

00:13:57.400 routine, just

00:13:59.120 ordinary, that

00:14:00.300 they make up

00:14:00.800 the quote.

00:14:01.720 I don't know

00:14:02.080 if everybody

00:14:02.480 knows that.

00:14:04.100 Even in

00:14:04.660 traditional,

00:14:06.220 you know,

00:14:06.580 well-established

00:14:07.340 publications, the

00:14:08.340 quotes are

00:14:08.720 manufactured.

00:14:09.940 Now, what

00:14:10.300 they try to

00:14:10.880 do, if it's

00:14:12.220 say the New

00:14:13.280 York Times,

00:14:13.800 they're going

00:14:14.020 to try to

00:14:14.680 make their

00:14:15.500 manufactured

00:14:16.160 quote close

00:14:18.380 to what the

00:14:19.480 person said,

00:14:20.360 you know, in

00:14:20.780 effect, but

00:14:21.760 not always.

00:14:23.040 You know, they

00:14:23.380 might shorten

00:14:24.120 it, might

00:14:24.520 edit it, might

00:14:25.620 take two

00:14:26.080 thoughts and

00:14:26.720 merge them

00:14:27.520 together, might

00:14:28.160 take their

00:14:28.560 own opinion and

00:14:30.380 attribute it to

00:14:31.260 the other

00:14:31.560 person, which

00:14:32.440 you also see.

00:14:35.320 But who

00:14:36.420 would actually

00:14:36.880 say this?

00:14:37.520 Even if it

00:14:38.020 was the

00:14:38.300 hill who said

00:14:38.900 it, or the

00:14:39.460 person they're

00:14:39.900 attributing it

00:14:40.480 to, it

00:14:40.760 doesn't matter.

00:14:41.700 Who would

00:14:42.000 ever say that

00:14:43.320 it's weird

00:14:43.800 that there's

00:14:46.880 people trying

00:14:47.480 to assume

00:14:48.440 that, or

00:14:49.320 emphasize that

00:14:50.320 men and

00:14:50.620 women are

00:14:50.940 different?

00:14:51.320 Is that

00:14:55.340 really, that's

00:14:56.640 your, that's

00:14:57.060 your extreme?

00:14:59.560 Some of the

00:15:00.140 extreme stuff is

00:15:01.000 that men and

00:15:01.420 women are

00:15:01.720 different.

00:15:02.500 All right, all

00:15:03.700 right, we'll

00:15:04.240 just let that

00:15:04.760 lay there.

00:15:06.140 All right, here's

00:15:06.940 something I've

00:15:07.940 been advising you

00:15:09.100 forever since at

00:15:10.440 least 2013 when I

00:15:11.820 wrote my book,

00:15:12.340 Catafield, Almost

00:15:12.960 Everything and

00:15:13.440 Still Went Big,

00:15:14.140 which will be

00:15:15.280 republished and

00:15:16.280 available in a few

00:15:17.700 weeks and I'll let

00:15:18.320 you know about

00:15:18.700 that.

00:15:18.920 But apparently

00:15:21.960 Apple is going

00:15:23.080 further into the

00:15:24.060 tracking your mood

00:15:25.020 business.

00:15:26.240 So with their

00:15:27.160 devices and the

00:15:28.200 new Apple Watch,

00:15:29.760 you can keep

00:15:30.700 track of things

00:15:32.000 like how many

00:15:34.320 steps you took

00:15:35.200 and how much

00:15:35.680 sun you got

00:15:36.520 and then what

00:15:38.240 your mood is.

00:15:39.700 So basically if

00:15:40.680 you compare your

00:15:41.380 mood with what

00:15:42.320 you're doing with

00:15:43.220 your body and

00:15:44.520 your mind, you

00:15:45.980 can get a better

00:15:46.520 idea of what to

00:15:47.140 do better.

00:15:47.500 Now, in

00:15:49.620 2013, in my

00:15:51.380 book, Had to

00:15:51.820 Fail, I told

00:15:52.620 you that one

00:15:53.140 of my habits, a

00:15:55.560 lifetime habit, that

00:15:56.940 I strongly recommend

00:15:58.220 to all of you, it

00:15:59.380 was a big theme of

00:16:00.180 the book, is you

00:16:01.360 should track how

00:16:03.100 you feel and your

00:16:04.960 energy based on

00:16:06.900 what you did

00:16:07.460 recently.

00:16:08.700 And you should

00:16:09.120 do it every day

00:16:09.900 and you should

00:16:10.380 never stop.

00:16:11.500 It should be a

00:16:12.060 continuous mental

00:16:13.840 loop that you go

00:16:14.660 through.

00:16:15.020 What did I do

00:16:15.540 recently?

00:16:15.920 How do I feel?

00:16:16.960 What did I do

00:16:17.640 recently?

00:16:18.140 How do I feel?

00:16:19.040 And the reason

00:16:19.580 this is so

00:16:20.120 important is that

00:16:21.900 I recommend using

00:16:23.640 your body as

00:16:26.180 your solution to

00:16:27.620 your brain.

00:16:29.180 In other words,

00:16:30.020 your brain has all

00:16:31.120 these little voices

00:16:32.360 in it.

00:16:33.320 You know, some of

00:16:33.780 your brain is just

00:16:34.560 taking care of your

00:16:35.300 bodily functions and

00:16:36.500 some is memory.

00:16:37.940 You know, it's like

00:16:38.320 your brain is a whole

00:16:39.140 bunch of stuff in

00:16:40.560 one place.

00:16:41.700 But you do have an

00:16:42.640 executive function,

00:16:43.620 an executive function.

00:16:45.740 It's the one that

00:16:46.480 can actually tell you

00:16:47.360 to move your arms

00:16:48.060 and legs.

00:16:48.760 Okay, move your

00:16:49.580 arm, Scott.

00:16:51.120 Do it.

00:16:51.700 Get up.

00:16:52.180 Do the thing.

00:16:53.160 That's your

00:16:53.540 executive function.

00:16:55.240 Your executive

00:16:56.040 function can look at

00:16:57.580 what's happening to

00:16:58.300 you and say, hey, I

00:16:59.680 feel bad today.

00:17:01.300 And then your

00:17:01.820 executive function can

00:17:02.920 say, what have I

00:17:03.720 done recently?

00:17:06.060 Didn't go outside.

00:17:08.360 You know, didn't eat

00:17:08.980 the right food, didn't

00:17:09.980 get enough sleep.

00:17:10.600 And then you know

00:17:11.600 what to do.

00:17:12.240 And then your

00:17:12.620 executive function

00:17:13.360 says, all right, get

00:17:14.820 up, walk to bed, you

00:17:17.100 know, cancel those

00:17:17.780 meetings, you need

00:17:18.460 sleep, or go eat

00:17:20.180 something healthy, or

00:17:21.160 go for a long walk,

00:17:22.440 right?

00:17:23.340 So those things work

00:17:26.180 almost every time.

00:17:27.920 That's the weird thing

00:17:28.880 about mood-altering

00:17:30.180 activities.

00:17:31.880 They don't work

00:17:32.860 sometimes.

00:17:34.560 It's not like, well,

00:17:36.120 I don't know if this

00:17:36.800 is going to work.

00:17:37.960 I don't know if

00:17:38.620 taking a long walk

00:17:40.060 on a sunny day is

00:17:41.620 going to cheer me

00:17:42.180 up or not.

00:17:43.220 Yeah, it will.

00:17:44.160 It will.

00:17:45.020 Works pretty much

00:17:45.820 every time.

00:17:46.780 But it's hard for

00:17:47.460 your executive

00:17:48.040 function to tell

00:17:49.840 your body to do

00:17:50.760 something when your

00:17:51.660 brain is unhappy.

00:17:53.180 Because the

00:17:53.720 unhappiness is telling

00:17:54.700 you to sit there and

00:17:55.420 be unhappy.

00:17:56.840 So you've got to

00:17:57.360 tell your executive

00:17:58.080 function literally to

00:17:59.320 move your body.

00:18:00.960 This is some of the

00:18:01.640 best advice you'll

00:18:02.340 ever get, by the

00:18:02.940 way.

00:18:03.480 Your whole life could

00:18:04.580 change by this

00:18:05.460 advice.

00:18:07.200 Think of your

00:18:07.900 executive function as

00:18:09.820 like a little voice

00:18:10.660 that can control

00:18:11.440 your body.

00:18:12.700 And it tells it to

00:18:13.400 move.

00:18:14.860 Because when you're

00:18:15.640 feeling bad, the

00:18:17.040 executive function has

00:18:18.060 to tell you to move

00:18:18.820 your body to make

00:18:20.380 you happy again.

00:18:22.300 Take a walk, exercise,

00:18:24.280 get out of the town,

00:18:25.500 take a drive, go see

00:18:26.800 a friend, go eat

00:18:28.740 something that's good,

00:18:30.500 do whatever relaxes

00:18:32.080 you.

00:18:33.480 Everybody's got their

00:18:34.300 own method.

00:18:35.700 But that's the trick.

00:18:37.520 executive function,

00:18:38.920 tell your body to

00:18:39.860 move to fix your

00:18:41.060 brain.

00:18:42.540 And that's what

00:18:43.400 these new devices are

00:18:44.440 really going to make

00:18:45.140 easy.

00:18:46.160 Because it's kind of

00:18:47.280 hard to remember

00:18:49.200 what you did and

00:18:50.180 remember to connect

00:18:51.500 it to how you feel

00:18:52.340 and set up.

00:18:53.160 For example, here's a

00:18:54.140 perfect example.

00:18:56.360 Last night I had a

00:18:57.880 massage.

00:18:59.380 It's basically my

00:19:01.240 one primary rich guy

00:19:03.580 indulgence.

00:19:05.020 So once a week I have

00:19:06.140 a professional massage

00:19:07.160 and I noticed that

00:19:10.420 the day after the

00:19:11.320 massage I always feel

00:19:12.300 terrible.

00:19:15.620 So now I know that

00:19:18.000 my mood when I wake

00:19:19.300 up has nothing to do

00:19:20.340 with anything.

00:19:21.520 I can disconnect my

00:19:23.060 current mood from

00:19:24.780 anything that's

00:19:25.480 happening.

00:19:26.080 Like it's not a

00:19:26.820 cause, it's not

00:19:27.880 caused by the

00:19:28.440 environment in my life.

00:19:29.700 It's just, there's

00:19:31.780 something about it

00:19:32.420 that just takes you to

00:19:33.440 another, I don't know,

00:19:34.620 energy level or

00:19:35.780 something.

00:19:36.540 Now I think some of

00:19:37.300 it is dehydration.

00:19:39.460 You know, maybe I

00:19:40.000 forget to hydrate.

00:19:41.400 So I tell myself,

00:19:42.860 literally, I had my

00:19:44.160 executive function

00:19:45.120 this morning saying,

00:19:47.440 all right, have

00:19:48.120 determined that day

00:19:49.520 after massage always

00:19:50.720 feel bad.

00:19:51.880 Probably dehydration.

00:19:54.360 Move your hand over

00:19:55.420 there to that bottle

00:19:56.260 of water.

00:19:57.300 Pick it up.

00:19:58.260 Put it in your

00:19:58.900 mouth.

00:20:02.800 Solution.

00:20:03.320 I know as weird and

00:20:07.680 simple, as dumb as

00:20:08.640 this sounds, how many

00:20:09.660 people do you know who

00:20:10.540 actually live their life

00:20:11.640 this way?

00:20:12.740 They actually pay

00:20:13.420 attention to what they

00:20:14.220 did and then immediately

00:20:15.520 experiment with the

00:20:16.960 opposite.

00:20:18.060 It's a really good

00:20:19.380 habit to get into.

00:20:20.520 I recommend it.

00:20:21.360 These devices might

00:20:22.700 help.

00:20:23.900 Well, MSNBC was

00:20:25.140 fawning over Biden's

00:20:26.980 foreign trip.

00:20:28.160 As they said, it's a

00:20:29.100 win-win-win.

00:20:29.860 They're getting

00:20:30.260 exhausted with

00:20:31.060 winning, making fun of

00:20:33.060 Trump saying.

00:20:35.100 But here was the

00:20:36.480 fawning thing that I

00:20:37.680 love the most.

00:20:39.420 One of the hosts, a

00:20:41.000 woman I didn't

00:20:41.560 recognize on MSNBC,

00:20:43.880 said, who was it who

00:20:46.580 decided that the last

00:20:47.980 trip on Biden's

00:20:50.400 European jaunt there,

00:20:52.700 who decided that the

00:20:53.860 last trip would be

00:20:54.620 Helsinki?

00:20:55.480 Because that's

00:20:56.260 genius.

00:20:58.060 I mean, that's just

00:20:58.840 genius.

00:20:59.600 That the last stop

00:21:00.520 was Helsinki.

00:21:02.000 I mean, that's

00:21:02.440 genius.

00:21:03.700 Do you know why?

00:21:06.000 Do you know why that

00:21:06.800 was genius?

00:21:07.760 I mean, that was

00:21:08.400 genius.

00:21:09.060 Wow.

00:21:09.980 Wow.

00:21:10.920 Do you know why?

00:21:12.120 I don't either.

00:21:13.700 I have no idea.

00:21:15.540 I think it's because

00:21:17.480 where Putin and

00:21:19.500 Trump had a meeting

00:21:21.580 that didn't go so

00:21:22.700 well, according to

00:21:24.080 the media, was that

00:21:25.380 it?

00:21:25.580 just because it

00:21:27.340 would remind you of

00:21:28.500 that, that the left

00:21:29.760 thinks was bad for

00:21:30.700 Trump?

00:21:31.960 Maybe.

00:21:33.500 Or Trump, I

00:21:34.300 don't know.

00:21:34.840 I don't know.

00:21:35.560 Oh.

00:21:39.180 Finland and NATO.

00:21:40.920 I don't know.

00:21:41.800 I have no idea.

00:21:43.200 No idea.

00:21:44.140 But apparently that

00:21:45.060 was some big deal on

00:21:46.060 MSNBC.

00:21:47.560 And when I hear it, I

00:21:48.500 go, I don't even know

00:21:49.320 what you're talking

00:21:49.760 about.

00:21:50.540 Like, the worlds are

00:21:51.520 so different.

00:21:52.980 Like, I don't even

00:21:54.220 know what that is

00:21:55.060 about.

00:21:55.720 And yet that's some

00:21:56.500 big deal.

00:21:57.140 Genius.

00:21:57.940 He's a genius.

00:22:01.860 He's a statement.

00:22:03.340 He showed himself to

00:22:04.760 be a statesman in the

00:22:05.720 world state.

00:22:07.100 But the part that, oh

00:22:09.860 my God, it was

00:22:10.500 cringy.

00:22:12.980 Who is the bald guy

00:22:14.540 on MSNBC?

00:22:15.580 He's usually on the

00:22:16.240 panel there.

00:22:17.400 What's his name?

00:22:18.060 I can't remember.

00:22:18.640 Was it Mike

00:22:19.860 something?

00:22:25.960 Was it John Hellman?

00:22:27.660 Okay.

00:22:28.160 That sounds right.

00:22:29.720 I think it was John

00:22:30.720 who was saying that

00:22:32.300 Biden showed at this

00:22:34.980 trip, he ended the

00:22:37.580 absurd notion that

00:22:39.180 Biden's age or

00:22:40.240 infirmity are catching

00:22:41.560 up with him.

00:22:42.700 It's an absurd

00:22:43.440 notion.

00:22:45.340 Yeah.

00:22:45.460 He actually got on

00:22:46.660 TV.

00:22:47.040 And said on camera

00:22:49.780 while people were

00:22:50.640 recording him and

00:22:51.620 actually like people

00:22:52.720 were listening.

00:22:54.100 He said it's a quote

00:22:55.600 absurd notion that

00:22:57.640 Biden's having any kind

00:22:58.900 of cognitive problems

00:23:00.080 or age is catching.

00:23:01.400 It's kind of absurd.

00:23:02.720 And not only that,

00:23:03.960 but he showed at that

00:23:05.800 table with the other

00:23:06.680 leaders in some short

00:23:08.400 video, he showed that

00:23:10.060 he's doing better than

00:23:11.280 any of us at this

00:23:12.280 table.

00:23:12.600 He wanted you to know

00:23:14.540 that Joe Biden is not

00:23:15.600 just killing it.

00:23:16.920 He's better than all

00:23:17.960 the younger people who

00:23:19.040 do this for a living

00:23:19.920 professionally.

00:23:21.240 He's that good.

00:23:22.680 That's how good he is.

00:23:24.440 And watching his face

00:23:27.140 when he said it was the

00:23:30.080 best.

00:23:30.440 Let's see if I can call

00:23:31.260 this up.

00:23:32.280 Before I do, I want to

00:23:33.180 show you this face of

00:23:34.280 Kamala Harris.

00:23:35.700 Does that look like a

00:23:37.400 sober person to you?

00:23:41.360 Do you read that as

00:23:42.480 sober?

00:23:44.680 That's in public.

00:23:47.600 All right.

00:23:47.940 Let me see if I can

00:23:49.400 quickly find that.

00:23:51.740 I wasn't planning to

00:23:52.400 show it to you, but

00:23:52.960 it's so cringy that it's

00:23:56.720 like really good

00:23:58.300 entertainment.

00:23:59.940 I like cringy

00:24:00.920 entertainment.

00:24:03.660 All right.

00:24:04.200 I have it in a second

00:24:05.020 here.

00:24:06.120 Bear with me.

00:24:07.140 All right.

00:24:07.500 Tough schedule.

00:24:08.200 Tough traffic.

00:24:08.720 He gets in there, does

00:24:09.440 a long press conference.

00:24:10.480 Not only is the

00:24:10.960 contrast with what Trump

00:24:11.920 did five years ago,

00:24:12.640 just in general, the

00:24:13.620 guy's up there handling

00:24:14.880 questions on the world

00:24:15.840 stage and without really

00:24:17.820 missing a beat.

00:24:18.840 If I want to run a tape

00:24:20.440 to refute the absurd

00:24:22.320 notions of Joe Biden's

00:24:23.980 security or his

00:24:24.760 infirmity, I run this

00:24:26.340 tape.

00:24:26.960 Watch his face.

00:24:28.100 That guy is doing

00:24:28.860 better in this space

00:24:30.520 that any of us around

00:24:32.100 this table could do

00:24:32.920 with this.

00:24:34.260 Yeah, I'll tell you

00:24:35.080 that, but the

00:24:35.860 economic...

00:24:36.300 Come on,

00:24:36.880 show up.

00:24:38.260 That's a pretty good

00:24:39.040 double.

00:24:39.400 Win, win, win,

00:24:40.460 Jen, and...

00:24:41.500 I want you to see

00:24:43.240 his face.

00:24:44.600 Tough schedule, tough

00:24:45.080 traffic.

00:24:45.420 He gets in there,

00:24:46.060 does a long press

00:24:46.840 conference.

00:24:47.060 That only is the

00:24:47.720 contrast with what

00:24:48.480 Trump did five years

00:24:49.180 ago.

00:24:49.300 Look at his eyes.

00:24:49.940 The guy's up there

00:24:51.040 handling questions on

00:24:52.320 the world stage and

00:24:53.480 without really missing

00:24:55.160 a beat.

00:24:55.600 If I want to run a

00:24:56.880 tape to refute the

00:24:58.600 absurd notions of

00:24:59.740 Joe Biden's senility

00:25:01.040 or his infirmity, I

00:25:02.620 run this tape if I'm

00:25:03.640 in the White House

00:25:04.020 and say, that guy is

00:25:05.400 doing better in this...

00:25:07.200 Amazing.

00:25:13.040 Did you see how

00:25:14.800 tortured his face was

00:25:16.180 when he was saying

00:25:16.780 that?

00:25:19.620 So this is my

00:25:20.600 impression of somebody

00:25:21.820 telling you the

00:25:22.580 truth.

00:25:23.780 You know, Joe Biden

00:25:24.860 really did a great

00:25:25.700 job in Europe.

00:25:27.240 Honestly, he

00:25:28.000 surprised us all.

00:25:28.980 His energy was high

00:25:29.920 and I thought he was

00:25:31.340 quite a statesman.

00:25:33.140 That's what a face

00:25:33.880 looks like when you're

00:25:34.740 saying your actual

00:25:35.540 opinion.

00:25:36.600 Now let me show you

00:25:37.460 my face when I know

00:25:39.180 I'm lying and I know

00:25:40.880 everybody knows I'm

00:25:42.000 lying.

00:25:43.540 Oh, oh, he's a

00:25:45.280 great statesman.

00:25:47.340 He was so good.

00:25:49.440 I mean energy.

00:25:50.740 Win, win, win.

00:25:52.400 He was winning.

00:25:55.240 Oh, somebody take the

00:25:56.620 camera off of me.

00:25:58.120 Oh, God, I have to

00:26:00.160 move my face.

00:26:01.540 Somebody take the

00:26:02.320 camera off of my

00:26:03.200 face, please.

00:26:07.340 It was probably

00:26:10.080 pretty hard.

00:26:12.100 All right.

00:26:12.680 Let's talk about how

00:26:15.320 the candidates did

00:26:16.160 yesterday.

00:26:17.100 So there was some

00:26:17.920 event.

00:26:18.640 Tucker Carlson was

00:26:19.640 interviewing a bunch

00:26:20.380 of people.

00:26:21.380 Was it Blaze TV or

00:26:22.800 somebody had some

00:26:23.620 political Republican

00:26:25.380 event?

00:26:26.620 I don't know where it

00:26:27.200 was.

00:26:28.240 But anyway, some news

00:26:30.780 before we get to that.

00:26:32.440 So Trump's new pitch,

00:26:34.020 according to ABC, is

00:26:35.820 elect me to get

00:26:36.600 revenge on the

00:26:37.360 government.

00:26:39.200 Now ABC News is

00:26:40.360 reporting it like he

00:26:42.020 blew it again.

00:26:43.020 You know, there's

00:26:43.420 another outrageous

00:26:45.580 gaffe.

00:26:46.480 Who would vote for a

00:26:47.460 guy like this?

00:26:48.900 Crazy, right?

00:26:50.080 Crazy.

00:26:51.080 Vote for Trump to get

00:26:52.160 revenge on the

00:26:52.980 government.

00:26:53.480 My God.

00:26:54.280 My God.

00:26:55.960 To which I say,

00:26:57.820 exactly.

00:26:58.620 Exactly.

00:27:03.260 Let me tell you

00:27:04.220 something about

00:27:04.820 Trump.

00:27:06.660 I'm going to say

00:27:07.360 something that you

00:27:08.020 can all agree with,

00:27:09.000 okay?

00:27:09.180 You can like him or

00:27:12.220 you can dislike him,

00:27:13.180 but I'm just going to

00:27:13.720 say something.

00:27:14.580 You should all agree

00:27:15.480 with this.

00:27:17.000 That motherfucker can

00:27:18.280 read a room, can't

00:27:19.300 he?

00:27:20.060 Can he read a room?

00:27:22.480 He can read a room

00:27:23.540 like nobody's ever

00:27:24.360 read a room.

00:27:26.520 All right?

00:27:27.080 And I'm going to give

00:27:27.860 you an example of

00:27:28.760 somebody who can't

00:27:29.500 read a room in a

00:27:30.280 minute.

00:27:31.200 Somebody who just

00:27:32.320 can't read the room

00:27:33.280 at all.

00:27:34.440 We'll get to that.

00:27:35.220 But, my God, ABC

00:27:38.180 actually thought

00:27:39.660 that, I mean, I'm

00:27:41.340 mind-reading a little

00:27:42.380 bit.

00:27:42.700 I don't know what

00:27:43.140 they thought.

00:27:44.080 But the way it was

00:27:44.900 presented was as if

00:27:47.740 there was some

00:27:48.160 negative that they

00:27:49.040 had discovered about

00:27:50.020 Trump.

00:27:51.260 Right?

00:27:52.080 Do you think they

00:27:52.840 presented it as an

00:27:54.060 insightful political

00:27:56.340 you know, aha that

00:28:00.440 Trump was successfully

00:28:01.600 using to take him

00:28:02.660 into the non-

00:28:03.120 No, no, it wasn't

00:28:04.000 that.

00:28:04.820 It was more like,

00:28:05.640 oh, there's that

00:28:06.200 crazy guy again

00:28:07.360 saying wild,

00:28:08.800 provocative things

00:28:09.660 that will destroy

00:28:10.300 the world.

00:28:11.500 Except that revenge

00:28:13.760 on the government

00:28:14.380 is exactly why I

00:28:16.160 supported him the

00:28:16.980 first time.

00:28:18.400 That's exactly what

00:28:19.440 I wanted.

00:28:20.680 I wanted revenge

00:28:21.600 on the government.

00:28:23.300 Now, you could

00:28:23.920 call it, you know,

00:28:25.160 cleaning the swamp.

00:28:26.540 You could call it,

00:28:27.720 you know, maybe

00:28:29.060 making the FBI

00:28:30.880 more accountable.

00:28:32.680 I mean, you could

00:28:33.080 put other words

00:28:34.020 on it, but it

00:28:35.780 feels like I

00:28:37.980 just want revenge.

00:28:40.040 Honestly.

00:28:40.740 Because I feel like

00:28:41.580 I've been so abused,

00:28:42.640 and all of you have,

00:28:43.520 not me personally,

00:28:44.540 but I feel like we've

00:28:45.300 all been so abused

00:28:46.340 by our own government

00:28:47.400 that it feels like

00:28:49.160 you have to push

00:28:49.700 back.

00:28:52.020 So Trump, of course,

00:28:53.220 just feels that

00:28:54.260 perfectly, and then

00:28:55.240 he expresses it in the

00:28:56.360 simplest way, so we

00:28:57.600 all get it.

00:28:58.960 He's just so good at

00:29:00.100 this.

00:29:00.760 Rich Lowry did a

00:29:01.820 long article in

00:29:03.400 The Hill, The Hill

00:29:05.180 or Politico?

00:29:07.380 I think it was

00:29:07.860 one of those.

00:29:09.720 Anyway, Rich Lowry

00:29:10.580 wrote that you

00:29:13.360 shouldn't be surprised

00:29:14.480 that Trump is doing

00:29:16.080 so well for the

00:29:17.120 third primary in a

00:29:18.340 row.

00:29:19.540 And the reason that

00:29:20.680 Trump is doing so

00:29:21.840 well, do you know

00:29:23.160 what Rich Lowry

00:29:24.040 gives us the reason

00:29:26.160 that Trump is doing

00:29:27.040 so well, that he's

00:29:29.560 really, really good

00:29:30.620 at this.

00:29:32.440 That's it.

00:29:33.660 I mean, I'm

00:29:34.420 summarizing his more

00:29:35.580 detailed story.

00:29:36.640 But the basic of it

00:29:37.640 is, if you don't

00:29:39.420 think Trump is good

00:29:40.840 at being a politician,

00:29:42.880 what have you been

00:29:43.560 watching?

00:29:44.860 What have you been

00:29:45.820 watching?

00:29:46.420 He's just really good

00:29:47.660 at it.

00:29:48.260 And that's the whole

00:29:48.940 explanation.

00:29:50.400 You know, some people

00:29:51.000 are going for the

00:29:51.700 cult effect, and the

00:29:54.500 Republicans are crazy,

00:29:55.840 and all that.

00:29:56.660 Maybe.

00:29:57.560 You know, maybe no

00:29:58.860 more crazy than any

00:29:59.740 other group.

00:30:00.920 But how do you

00:30:02.940 ignore the fact that

00:30:04.520 this one person is

00:30:05.580 just really, really

00:30:06.560 skilled at this thing

00:30:08.040 called politics?

00:30:10.100 You know, you might

00:30:10.840 not want him to be

00:30:11.560 your president, but

00:30:12.340 you can't deny the

00:30:13.680 skill of the

00:30:14.800 politics.

00:30:16.720 All right, who

00:30:17.360 else did well or

00:30:19.320 poorly?

00:30:19.880 So when DeSantis

00:30:24.480 was asked about

00:30:26.700 Ukraine, he

00:30:28.280 doesn't say he

00:30:29.040 would end the war,

00:30:29.880 but he would

00:30:30.240 rather make Europe

00:30:31.680 pay for the money

00:30:33.640 and the weapons.

00:30:35.980 Doesn't that sound

00:30:36.700 like he's trying to

00:30:37.500 find the way not to

00:30:39.620 talk about it, or

00:30:40.660 you know, just sort of

00:30:42.660 get out of the

00:30:43.500 blast zone?

00:30:44.600 It's more like he is

00:30:46.700 just trying to find

00:30:48.880 yeah, weasel, right?

00:30:50.060 It feels like a

00:30:50.780 weasel answer.

00:30:52.160 Now, it might not be

00:30:53.200 a terrible answer

00:30:53.980 compared to the

00:30:55.900 United States funding

00:30:56.940 it.

00:30:57.860 It's better than

00:30:58.740 that.

00:30:59.480 But it still does

00:31:00.480 allow that you're

00:31:01.660 okay with Ukraine

00:31:03.660 and Russia having a

00:31:04.980 land war in Europe.

00:31:06.940 Like, how could that

00:31:07.840 be okay?

00:31:09.380 Now, compare that to

00:31:10.640 Trump.

00:31:11.220 I would stop it in

00:31:12.360 one day.

00:31:13.660 Well, who do you

00:31:14.720 back?

00:31:15.080 I back people not

00:31:16.800 dying.

00:31:18.240 I'll stop it in one

00:31:19.340 day.

00:31:20.160 Well, how will you do

00:31:21.060 that?

00:31:22.540 Economics.

00:31:24.080 I'll just put an

00:31:24.940 economic boot on it

00:31:25.960 and I'll make them

00:31:26.400 both stop in one

00:31:27.160 day.

00:31:28.900 I mean, you can't

00:31:29.680 even compare those

00:31:30.420 answers.

00:31:31.460 One is just a

00:31:32.300 politician weaseling.

00:31:33.860 The other one is a

00:31:34.800 dealmaker who says

00:31:35.840 there's an obvious

00:31:36.520 deal here.

00:31:37.420 I'll show you how to

00:31:38.040 make the deal.

00:31:38.940 They're not even in

00:31:39.680 the same world.

00:31:42.160 As who else did

00:31:43.040 poorly?

00:31:45.080 Um, so George

00:31:48.060 Will had this long

00:31:49.180 article, was it

00:31:50.340 maybe, maybe the

00:31:53.660 Wall Street Journal?

00:31:54.580 I forget.

00:31:55.220 I think it was the

00:31:55.660 Wall Street Journal.

00:31:56.800 George Will,

00:31:57.660 political pundit,

00:31:59.600 observer, associated

00:32:01.080 with Republicans on

00:32:02.220 the right.

00:32:02.960 He says that neither

00:32:03.920 Trump nor DeSantis

00:32:05.160 will win the

00:32:05.900 nomination.

00:32:08.320 Neither Trump nor

00:32:09.600 DeSantis will win the

00:32:10.680 nomination.

00:32:11.720 And he goes through

00:32:12.360 the reasons why, why

00:32:13.660 they won't.

00:32:16.060 And I recommended

00:32:17.620 when I retweeted his

00:32:18.760 article that the

00:32:20.420 best way to read it

00:32:21.260 would be from the

00:32:21.940 bottom up.

00:32:23.460 If you read it from

00:32:24.460 the top to the

00:32:25.180 bottom, you're going

00:32:27.160 to be really angry.

00:32:29.620 Let me tell you why.

00:32:31.160 Do you know what the

00:32:31.720 last thing on the

00:32:32.860 article said?

00:32:34.180 It was something that

00:32:35.000 the editors added.

00:32:37.000 It was at the end,

00:32:38.400 after you read this

00:32:39.160 long, long article.

00:32:41.500 At the end, it says

00:32:43.320 that George Will's

00:32:45.020 wife is working for

00:32:47.080 the Tim Scott

00:32:47.960 campaign.

00:32:50.960 That was not

00:32:51.840 mentioned in the

00:32:52.580 article.

00:32:53.820 That was mentioned

00:32:54.760 only by the editors,

00:32:56.920 it looked like, as an

00:32:57.680 editor's note.

00:32:58.260 I read all the way

00:33:00.080 through here, this

00:33:01.820 argument why neither

00:33:03.000 Trump nor DeSantis

00:33:03.920 would get nominated

00:33:04.900 when it's perfectly

00:33:06.380 obvious that one of

00:33:07.700 them will be.

00:33:09.580 I mean, in all

00:33:10.520 likelihood.

00:33:11.560 Yeah, I think

00:33:12.360 Vivek has a path.

00:33:14.800 He has a real path.

00:33:16.360 But, you know, it

00:33:18.180 was just a ridiculous

00:33:19.700 opinion.

00:33:21.160 It was just

00:33:21.680 ridiculous.

00:33:23.500 The fact that this

00:33:25.400 was published, no

00:33:27.440 publication should

00:33:28.480 have allowed that to

00:33:29.260 be published.

00:33:30.880 Unless the first

00:33:32.920 line is, you

00:33:34.220 should know that

00:33:34.720 George Will's wife

00:33:35.520 works for the Tim

00:33:36.240 Scott campaign.

00:33:37.540 And then fine.

00:33:38.900 If you say it

00:33:39.780 first, say it

00:33:41.620 first, and then I

00:33:43.060 will decide if I

00:33:44.060 want to read that

00:33:44.700 bullshit.

00:33:45.700 Because if you say

00:33:46.380 it first, I'll know

00:33:47.200 it's bullshit.

00:33:48.660 Right?

00:33:49.000 I look at the

00:33:49.680 title.

00:33:50.820 Neither Trump nor

00:33:51.720 DeSantis can win.

00:33:52.540 The very first

00:33:53.060 line after that

00:33:53.880 is, but you

00:33:55.140 should know the

00:33:55.540 writer of this

00:33:56.300 is why

00:33:57.420 works for the

00:33:57.920 other campaign.

00:33:59.520 And then I

00:34:00.160 would just skip

00:34:00.620 the rest of it

00:34:01.240 because I would

00:34:01.740 know it would

00:34:02.080 just be bullshit.

00:34:05.240 So that was a

00:34:07.060 black eye for the

00:34:08.160 publication as

00:34:08.960 well as the

00:34:09.400 writer in my

00:34:09.980 opinion.

00:34:11.460 But let's talk

00:34:12.140 about Tim Scott.

00:34:14.280 He had a good

00:34:15.160 run, which I

00:34:16.180 believe ended

00:34:16.680 yesterday.

00:34:20.300 He said a

00:34:21.440 couple of

00:34:21.840 things that I

00:34:22.520 think are

00:34:23.140 disqualifying for

00:34:24.200 the presidency.

00:34:25.440 One of them is,

00:34:26.560 he said, and I

00:34:27.380 quote, we can

00:34:28.620 walk and chew gum

00:34:29.540 at the same

00:34:30.040 time.

00:34:32.040 Oh, God.

00:34:33.920 Oh, God.

00:34:35.680 Did he really

00:34:36.260 say that?

00:34:37.740 No, no, no.

00:34:39.240 Tim Scott.

00:34:40.680 Tim, Tim.

00:34:42.580 We had so much

00:34:43.600 hope for you.

00:34:45.460 We had so much

00:34:46.300 hope.

00:34:46.680 He seemed like

00:34:47.480 a good, strong,

00:34:50.020 solid, Republican,

00:34:51.740 conservative

00:34:52.160 candidate.

00:34:53.860 Don't ever say

00:34:54.700 that.

00:34:55.800 That's what

00:34:56.260 Democrats say.

00:34:59.120 I mean, basically,

00:35:00.160 that's my...

00:35:01.300 So I have two

00:35:01.840 problems with that

00:35:02.460 saying.

00:35:03.100 One is the most

00:35:03.920 hackneyed, unoriginal

00:35:05.420 saying.

00:35:06.400 And it's so unoriginal

00:35:07.800 it makes you look

00:35:08.700 dumb.

00:35:10.200 May I say that

00:35:11.020 directly?

00:35:11.800 It's so unoriginal

00:35:13.120 that when you say

00:35:14.800 it, you look slow,

00:35:16.080 honestly.

00:35:18.100 Do you think you

00:35:19.620 have ever heard

00:35:20.520 or will ever

00:35:21.380 heard Trump

00:35:22.820 say this sentence,

00:35:24.620 we can walk and

00:35:25.520 chew gum at the

00:35:26.160 same time?

00:35:26.920 Will that ever

00:35:28.000 come out of

00:35:28.500 Trump's mouth?

00:35:30.280 Nope.

00:35:32.380 Guarantee it.

00:35:33.820 I guarantee it

00:35:34.880 he will never say it.

00:35:35.740 Do you know why?

00:35:37.220 Because he can

00:35:37.880 read the room.

00:35:39.680 The room doesn't

00:35:40.520 want to hear that.

00:35:42.060 No.

00:35:42.360 The room wants

00:35:42.920 to hear an

00:35:43.480 interesting, new,

00:35:45.140 innovative take.

00:35:46.660 Something that

00:35:47.220 moves the dial.

00:35:48.820 They don't want to

00:35:49.460 hear you repeating

00:35:50.360 a Democrat

00:35:51.280 campaign slogan.

00:35:53.500 We can walk and

00:35:54.300 chew gum at the

00:35:54.880 same time.

00:35:55.340 They literally said

00:35:56.020 it like 15 times

00:35:57.080 this year.

00:35:58.920 Terrible.

00:35:59.780 Oh my God.

00:36:00.580 Now, I'm a writer

00:36:01.480 by profession,

00:36:02.540 of course.

00:36:03.620 So if you're a

00:36:04.380 professional writer

00:36:05.160 and you see somebody

00:36:05.960 do something like

00:36:06.580 this, it's like

00:36:08.260 fingernails on the

00:36:09.000 blackboard.

00:36:09.560 It just makes you

00:36:10.080 crazy.

00:36:10.340 So I have to

00:36:11.220 admit, I don't

00:36:12.920 think anybody else

00:36:13.740 is going to be

00:36:14.180 bothered by this.

00:36:16.460 This won't change

00:36:17.500 the campaign that

00:36:18.760 he used that

00:36:19.260 phrase.

00:36:20.400 But ugh.

00:36:20.720 I'll give you

00:36:23.960 another one.

00:36:25.820 I'm going to give

00:36:26.560 you two candidates

00:36:27.400 and you tell me

00:36:28.880 which one would

00:36:29.940 and which one

00:36:31.160 would not use

00:36:32.680 the phrase we

00:36:33.360 can walk and

00:36:33.920 chew gum at the

00:36:34.520 same time.

00:36:35.100 All right?

00:36:35.380 I won't even look

00:36:35.980 at your answers.

00:36:37.060 The two candidates

00:36:37.840 are Ron DeSantis

00:36:38.660 and Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:36:40.680 You tell me,

00:36:41.500 before I look up

00:36:42.220 and see your

00:36:42.580 answers, you tell

00:36:43.740 me which of those

00:36:44.540 might say we can

00:36:46.040 walk and chew gum

00:36:46.780 at the same time

00:36:47.600 and which one

00:36:48.580 would never say

00:36:49.440 that, go.

00:36:52.180 Yeah, you all

00:36:52.920 got the right

00:36:53.400 answer.

00:36:54.080 DeSantis might

00:36:54.740 say that.

00:36:56.820 I'm not saying

00:36:57.660 he will, because

00:36:58.400 again, that would

00:36:58.900 be unfair and it

00:37:00.260 would be mind

00:37:00.860 reading and, you

00:37:01.780 know, and

00:37:02.700 DeSantis is a

00:37:04.200 solid politician,

00:37:05.200 right?

00:37:06.320 But Vivek would

00:37:07.020 never say it.

00:37:09.260 Did Vivek say

00:37:10.260 that?

00:37:10.560 Oh my God, I

00:37:12.280 hope not.

00:37:13.260 Somebody says

00:37:13.840 that he said

00:37:14.240 that.

00:37:15.220 Please don't tell

00:37:16.040 me he said

00:37:16.420 that.

00:37:18.260 Please don't.

00:37:20.040 I don't want to

00:37:20.780 ruin my fantasy.

00:37:23.320 All right, well,

00:37:24.880 maybe he did

00:37:25.420 say that.

00:37:26.800 But if he did,

00:37:27.620 he should stop

00:37:28.080 saying it.

00:37:28.800 But here's my

00:37:29.420 bigger point about

00:37:30.300 Tim Scott.

00:37:31.120 He was asked

00:37:31.560 by Tucker

00:37:34.480 Carlson about

00:37:35.500 Ukraine, and

00:37:37.240 he says the

00:37:38.380 U.S. needs to

00:37:39.120 continue funding

00:37:39.920 the Ukraine

00:37:40.500 war in order

00:37:41.280 to, quote,

00:37:42.900 defend the

00:37:43.580 world order.

00:37:52.520 And, uh,

00:37:53.900 wow.

00:37:57.000 Yeah.

00:37:58.600 He had a

00:37:59.320 good run.

00:38:00.500 I think that

00:38:01.480 takes a

00:38:01.920 amount of

00:38:02.180 vice president

00:38:02.780 contention.

00:38:05.300 Does it?

00:38:06.520 Because, you

00:38:06.980 know, we were

00:38:07.360 thinking he

00:38:07.840 would be, you

00:38:09.000 know, and

00:38:09.380 maybe a top

00:38:10.860 three obvious

00:38:11.920 vice presidential

00:38:13.240 pick for

00:38:13.820 whoever wins.

00:38:15.840 But I feel

00:38:16.740 like that is

00:38:17.300 such a

00:38:17.700 disqualifier on

00:38:18.660 the right.

00:38:19.400 Oh, my God.

00:38:21.280 Why would he

00:38:22.040 even think that

00:38:22.700 that's okay to

00:38:23.400 say?

00:38:24.440 Like, what

00:38:25.480 advisor told

00:38:26.500 him to say

00:38:27.000 that, of all

00:38:28.900 things?

00:38:29.640 It's just

00:38:30.040 totally

00:38:30.320 disqualifying.

00:38:32.300 On the right,

00:38:33.360 I mean, maybe

00:38:33.860 it'd work on the

00:38:34.460 left, but there's

00:38:35.400 no way it works

00:38:36.000 for the

00:38:36.580 primary.

00:38:38.520 And then

00:38:39.260 Tucker, God

00:38:40.280 bless him, was

00:38:42.200 talking about,

00:38:43.020 you know, the

00:38:43.440 importance of

00:38:44.120 Russia and

00:38:44.860 Ukraine versus,

00:38:46.100 let's say,

00:38:46.400 Mexico.

00:38:47.480 And Tucker

00:38:48.220 said, quote,

00:38:48.940 all measures

00:38:50.440 are relative.

00:38:52.020 Russia's bad,

00:38:52.780 Putin's evil,

00:38:53.400 got it.

00:38:54.240 I don't know

00:38:54.740 anyone who's

00:38:55.300 been killed by

00:38:55.860 Russia.

00:38:56.720 I know people

00:38:57.300 personally who

00:38:58.320 have been killed

00:38:58.780 by Mexico,

00:39:00.220 as do I.

00:39:01.340 the government

00:39:04.660 of Mexico

00:39:05.120 allows fentanyl

00:39:05.980 to come over

00:39:06.460 our border.

00:39:06.960 The Mexican

00:39:07.360 government is

00:39:08.040 party to the

00:39:09.120 murder of

00:39:09.600 hundreds of

00:39:10.260 thousands of

00:39:10.820 Americans.

00:39:11.660 Why is Mexico

00:39:12.400 less of a

00:39:13.080 threat than

00:39:14.120 Russia?

00:39:17.260 Now, the

00:39:18.180 better answer

00:39:19.260 would be Russia

00:39:20.040 has nuclear

00:39:20.680 weapons.

00:39:22.780 You know, the

00:39:23.080 good answer

00:39:23.540 would be the

00:39:24.760 Mexico problem

00:39:25.640 is like a

00:39:26.700 gigantic, you

00:39:28.200 know, bleeding

00:39:28.920 wound that has

00:39:29.800 to be dealt

00:39:30.220 with immediately.

00:39:31.340 Like, that's

00:39:31.920 the right answer.

00:39:33.440 You're not

00:39:34.020 going to rank

00:39:34.540 those risks.

00:39:35.560 If you're

00:39:35.900 running for

00:39:36.240 president, you

00:39:37.180 don't rank the

00:39:37.960 risks.

00:39:39.160 You just say,

00:39:40.180 both of those

00:39:41.960 must be handled.

00:39:43.440 And I would do

00:39:44.020 it without the

00:39:44.480 walking and

00:39:44.960 chewing gum

00:39:45.380 thing.

00:39:47.500 But, yeah.

00:39:51.760 So I don't

00:39:52.640 think that Tim

00:39:53.620 Sky handled that

00:39:54.400 well at all,

00:39:55.060 and that could

00:39:55.420 be the end of

00:39:55.940 him.

00:39:56.580 Compare that

00:39:57.300 to Vivek

00:39:58.400 Ramaswamy being

00:39:59.280 asked by also

00:40:00.100 Tucker Carlson

00:40:00.860 at the same

00:40:01.280 event, about

00:40:04.840 January 6th.

00:40:06.540 So he wanted

00:40:07.040 to get Vivek on

00:40:07.880 record about

00:40:08.500 January 6th.

00:40:10.480 And Vivek did

00:40:11.400 something that

00:40:12.180 I've been in

00:40:13.320 awe of since I

00:40:15.080 heard it yesterday.

00:40:16.460 It's just jaw

00:40:17.100 dropping.

00:40:18.380 Well, you don't

00:40:19.020 really, it's hard

00:40:20.120 to understand how

00:40:20.840 smart he is.

00:40:22.600 Like, I feel

00:40:23.360 that's one of

00:40:23.940 his challenges.

00:40:26.540 And I always

00:40:28.520 say that my

00:40:29.020 dog doesn't

00:40:29.760 know how

00:40:30.140 smart I am.

00:40:31.320 Would you

00:40:31.720 agree?

00:40:32.720 The dog might

00:40:33.540 know I'm

00:40:33.940 smarter than

00:40:34.580 the dog.

00:40:35.720 Might, I

00:40:36.440 don't know.

00:40:37.040 Maybe does,

00:40:37.680 maybe doesn't.

00:40:38.400 But there's

00:40:38.800 no way that

00:40:39.720 the dog actually

00:40:40.800 knows how

00:40:42.040 smart I am.

00:40:43.060 It can't be

00:40:43.600 known.

00:40:44.460 If you're the

00:40:45.680 smart one in

00:40:46.380 the room, you

00:40:46.880 might know how

00:40:48.860 unsmart the

00:40:49.680 other people are.

00:40:50.720 Because you're

00:40:51.460 smart, so you

00:40:52.140 can judge what

00:40:53.380 they know and

00:40:53.800 what they don't.

00:40:54.320 But from the

00:40:55.200 bottom, you

00:40:55.660 can't judge how

00:40:56.360 smart somebody

00:40:56.960 is.

00:40:57.440 You can only

00:40:58.200 tell they're

00:40:58.640 smarter than

00:40:59.120 you.

00:41:00.320 You don't know

00:41:00.900 if they're 100

00:41:01.400 times smarter.

00:41:02.780 There's no way.

00:41:03.500 You don't have

00:41:03.860 the capacity to

00:41:04.680 know that.

00:41:06.240 And I think

00:41:06.800 Vivek is closer

00:41:08.320 to 10 times

00:41:09.080 smarter than

00:41:09.600 the average

00:41:09.960 person.

00:41:11.460 People are

00:41:12.160 imagining he's

00:41:12.840 20% smarter.

00:41:14.020 I'm exaggerating

00:41:14.740 totally, but you

00:41:16.020 get the point.

00:41:17.180 If you think he's

00:41:17.920 just a little bit

00:41:18.580 smarter than you

00:41:19.280 are because he

00:41:19.760 does some things

00:41:20.360 that maybe you

00:41:20.880 didn't think of,

00:41:21.860 you're really

00:41:22.460 missing the story.

00:41:23.240 He's not just

00:41:24.720 a little bit

00:41:25.320 smarter than

00:41:25.900 you, and he's

00:41:27.280 not just a

00:41:27.840 little bit

00:41:28.200 smarter than

00:41:28.620 me, right?

00:41:29.280 I put myself

00:41:29.820 in the same

00:41:30.220 category right

00:41:30.880 now.

00:41:31.760 He's crazy

00:41:32.800 smart, and I

00:41:34.420 don't know that

00:41:34.820 we've had that

00:41:35.360 before, since

00:41:36.480 maybe Thomas

00:41:37.480 Jefferson.

00:41:38.600 He actually

00:41:39.340 reminds me of

00:41:40.080 Thomas Jefferson,

00:41:41.060 weirdly.

00:41:43.280 Because he's a

00:41:45.340 renaissance type.

00:41:47.880 His skills cross

00:41:49.040 a number of

00:41:50.120 domains.

00:41:50.600 Trump's new

00:41:52.120 too, but he's

00:41:52.720 a singular

00:41:53.280 character.

00:41:56.120 All right, so

00:41:56.680 here's Ramaswamy's

00:41:58.340 answer to

00:41:59.060 January 6th.

00:42:00.700 The best

00:42:01.180 political answer

00:42:02.120 you might ever

00:42:02.840 see on any

00:42:03.800 topic ever.

00:42:06.760 Here's his

00:42:07.500 take.

00:42:08.440 You want to

00:42:08.880 know what

00:42:09.180 caused J6?

00:42:10.820 Pervasive

00:42:11.380 censorship in

00:42:12.240 this country in

00:42:13.060 the lead up to

00:42:13.660 J6.

00:42:14.340 We were told

00:42:15.000 that we could

00:42:15.620 not question

00:42:16.240 where the virus

00:42:17.000 came from.

00:42:17.600 We were told

00:42:17.940 that we could

00:42:18.280 not send a

00:42:19.520 blah, blah,

00:42:20.940 blah, blah.

00:42:21.340 And he goes

00:42:21.880 on to tell

00:42:22.680 you all the

00:42:23.160 things that

00:42:23.580 the system,

00:42:24.560 the media and

00:42:25.300 the government

00:42:25.760 and the FBI

00:42:27.740 have lied to

00:42:29.220 you that we

00:42:31.420 know they

00:42:31.800 lied.

00:42:32.640 These are

00:42:33.220 confirmed lies

00:42:34.420 from the people

00:42:35.440 who are supposed

00:42:35.880 to be taking

00:42:36.340 care of you

00:42:36.960 and being on

00:42:37.600 your side.

00:42:38.920 And he

00:42:39.300 says, and

00:42:40.320 he also said,

00:42:40.900 I forget if

00:42:41.320 this was before

00:42:41.940 or after that

00:42:42.460 statement, he

00:42:43.300 says, quote,

00:42:44.080 you tell people

00:42:44.760 in this country

00:42:45.300 they cannot

00:42:45.800 speak, that is

00:42:47.240 when they

00:42:47.580 scream.

00:42:48.280 You tell

00:42:48.860 people they

00:42:49.280 cannot scream,

00:42:50.580 that is when

00:42:51.100 they tear

00:42:51.500 things down.

00:42:53.080 And he

00:42:53.260 mentioned

00:42:53.600 Biden's

00:42:54.920 laptop being

00:42:55.660 covered up,

00:42:56.280 Russia collusion,

00:42:57.660 the COVID

00:42:58.140 pandemic, you

00:42:59.240 know, BS.

00:43:00.260 And when he's

00:43:00.860 done, you

00:43:01.220 say to

00:43:01.500 yourself, that's

00:43:03.420 the smartest

00:43:03.840 thing I've

00:43:04.260 ever heard in

00:43:05.720 politics.

00:43:07.300 That's the

00:43:07.920 smartest thing

00:43:08.480 I've ever

00:43:08.840 heard.

00:43:10.040 There's

00:43:10.520 actually nothing

00:43:11.260 that would

00:43:11.620 have happened

00:43:12.000 on January

00:43:12.520 6th the way

00:43:13.180 it did unless

00:43:14.940 the public

00:43:16.500 had been lied

00:43:17.220 to and

00:43:17.940 censored until

00:43:19.420 they thought

00:43:19.980 the physical

00:43:20.700 action was

00:43:21.980 the logical

00:43:22.660 next step.

00:43:24.900 What made

00:43:25.780 Republicans get

00:43:26.840 physical, like

00:43:28.100 actually show up

00:43:29.020 on the Capitol?

00:43:30.920 It was this.

00:43:32.680 It was the

00:43:33.740 feeling that

00:43:34.960 your words

00:43:36.520 didn't matter,

00:43:38.480 right?

00:43:39.280 That you could

00:43:39.860 talk all day

00:43:40.600 long and it

00:43:41.320 was just going

00:43:41.860 into the ether

00:43:42.980 and being

00:43:43.560 absorbed by the

00:43:45.300 deep state and

00:43:46.080 just dissipated.

00:43:48.680 The deep state

00:43:49.780 made talking

00:43:50.520 no longer

00:43:51.120 work by

00:43:52.820 censorship.

00:43:53.900 They made

00:43:54.480 the news no

00:43:55.160 longer work by

00:43:56.240 making it fake.

00:43:57.880 They made

00:43:58.540 trust in the

00:43:59.160 government go

00:43:59.960 away by having

00:44:01.720 the DOJ and

00:44:03.760 the FBI act

00:44:04.640 against our

00:44:05.780 interests.

00:44:07.040 All of that

00:44:07.980 stuff is what

00:44:08.620 caused January

00:44:09.420 6th far more

00:44:11.140 than anything

00:44:11.780 that Trump said

00:44:12.600 or didn't say.

00:44:13.260 far more.

00:44:15.600 And the amazing

00:44:16.400 thing is even

00:44:17.240 before he got

00:44:17.960 to his reasons,

00:44:19.860 I had this

00:44:20.880 like moment,

00:44:22.560 like the moment

00:44:23.580 he said it

00:44:25.260 was massive

00:44:25.860 censorship that

00:44:26.820 led us to that

00:44:27.480 date, like

00:44:29.240 every little

00:44:30.240 goose bump on

00:44:31.040 my arm stood

00:44:31.660 up and I

00:44:32.640 said, my

00:44:33.360 God, that's

00:44:35.160 it.

00:44:36.060 That's not

00:44:36.780 just brilliant

00:44:38.740 political framing.

00:44:40.980 It's bigger

00:44:41.860 than that.

00:44:43.560 That's the guy

00:44:44.340 you want as

00:44:44.860 your president.

00:44:46.320 You want

00:44:46.940 somebody who

00:44:47.460 can at least

00:44:48.160 see the

00:44:49.060 complexity of

00:44:50.400 the situation

00:44:51.020 and can take

00:44:52.380 it from its

00:44:53.080 immediate form,

00:44:54.960 which is,

00:44:55.580 what did Trump

00:44:56.100 say 10 minutes

00:44:57.400 before it

00:44:57.860 happened, to

00:44:59.380 looking at the

00:45:00.260 entire system?

00:45:02.300 What was the

00:45:03.100 entire system

00:45:04.060 and all of its

00:45:05.280 parts that got

00:45:06.580 you to today?

00:45:07.480 And not only

00:45:08.120 did he look at

00:45:08.820 it in far

00:45:09.320 greater complexity

00:45:10.380 than anybody

00:45:12.140 in the news

00:45:12.740 or politics

00:45:13.420 had looked at

00:45:14.020 it, but when

00:45:14.940 he added the

00:45:15.640 complexity, he

00:45:17.880 simplified it

00:45:18.740 at the same

00:45:19.260 time.

00:45:21.380 Do you know

00:45:22.080 how hard that

00:45:22.660 is?

00:45:23.820 Do you have

00:45:24.460 any idea how

00:45:26.200 hard it is to

00:45:26.920 make the topic

00:45:27.940 way more

00:45:28.820 complicated and

00:45:30.320 then simplify

00:45:30.960 it?

00:45:32.160 It was massive

00:45:32.880 censorship that

00:45:34.240 got us to this

00:45:34.940 point.

00:45:36.120 Wow.

00:45:37.680 It's fucking

00:45:38.220 amazing.

00:45:39.900 It's amazing.

00:45:41.740 Did he

00:45:42.440 criticize Trump?

00:45:43.880 Now, somebody

00:45:44.500 came up with

00:45:45.080 some tweets

00:45:45.720 where he did

00:45:46.860 criticize Trump,

00:45:47.780 it looks like,

00:45:48.360 if they're real,

00:45:49.560 around January

00:45:50.940 6th when it

00:45:51.560 happened.

00:45:52.800 Would you have

00:45:53.660 a problem with

00:45:54.600 Vivek if his

00:45:56.100 opinion on

00:45:57.160 January 6th had

00:45:58.020 evolved after

00:45:59.740 we'd all learn

00:46:00.420 more about it?

00:46:01.980 Would that

00:46:02.480 bother you?

00:46:02.900 If his opinion

00:46:03.800 evolved with the

00:46:05.800 knowledge, right?

00:46:06.980 Because if the

00:46:08.200 only thing you

00:46:08.660 knew is what

00:46:09.100 you watched

00:46:09.460 on TV that

00:46:10.180 day, you

00:46:11.160 would have a

00:46:11.680 different opinion.

00:46:13.140 But you can

00:46:13.740 see that his

00:46:14.440 understanding of

00:46:15.360 the whole situation

00:46:16.100 has evolved.

00:46:17.660 He's extended it

00:46:18.620 into the environment

00:46:19.500 that made it

00:46:20.040 possible in the

00:46:20.660 first place.

00:46:21.940 And that's

00:46:22.440 exactly the right

00:46:23.380 take on that.

00:46:24.420 Exactly.

00:46:25.640 So impressive.

00:46:26.980 Now, I've said

00:46:27.860 RFK Jr. has

00:46:29.480 similar skills of

00:46:30.760 persuasion, and of

00:46:32.220 course I've talked

00:46:32.960 endlessly about

00:46:33.700 Trump's persuasion.

00:46:34.760 You have three

00:46:36.260 people in the

00:46:36.980 race right now

00:46:38.540 who are

00:46:39.460 extraordinary.

00:46:41.320 Now, Trump has

00:46:42.020 his baggage, so

00:46:42.800 he's extraordinary

00:46:43.460 plus he's carrying

00:46:46.000 some baggage.

00:46:47.440 But you could

00:46:48.960 even throw

00:46:49.560 DeSantis in there

00:46:50.840 as a capable

00:46:52.320 executive.

00:46:53.220 I'd be happy to

00:46:53.820 have him as a

00:46:55.540 leader.

00:46:56.440 I think he'd do

00:46:57.000 a good job.

00:46:58.160 But he's not

00:46:59.680 campaigning well.

00:47:01.640 You can say that

00:47:02.560 for sure.

00:47:02.960 He's not killing

00:47:04.340 it on the

00:47:04.740 campaign.

00:47:06.080 But we have

00:47:06.760 the best group

00:47:08.320 of potential

00:47:09.400 presidents that

00:47:11.720 I've ever seen.

00:47:13.660 Does anybody

00:47:14.180 want to take the

00:47:15.540 other side of

00:47:16.000 that bet that's

00:47:17.360 not yet a bet?

00:47:19.100 I say that even

00:47:20.580 if you include

00:47:22.040 both sides, the

00:47:23.540 Republicans and the

00:47:24.460 Democrats, if you

00:47:25.140 include both sides,

00:47:26.340 it's the best group

00:47:27.280 of candidates we've

00:47:28.060 ever seen, maybe

00:47:28.980 ever, I think.

00:47:30.540 Maybe back in the

00:47:32.260 day of Thomas

00:47:33.260 Jefferson, everybody

00:47:34.240 was awesome.

00:47:35.580 So maybe they

00:47:36.400 actually did have

00:47:36.980 better candidates

00:47:37.640 back then, I

00:47:38.240 don't know.

00:47:38.820 But the ones we

00:47:39.440 have now you

00:47:39.880 should be proud

00:47:40.400 of.

00:47:41.840 You should be

00:47:42.600 proud that you

00:47:44.040 live in a country

00:47:44.660 that could feel

00:47:45.360 this set of

00:47:46.160 candidates.

00:47:47.080 Now if they

00:47:47.640 elect Joe Biden,

00:47:49.440 and this is not

00:47:50.340 even a political

00:47:51.560 comment, I think

00:47:53.420 you should be

00:47:53.880 disappointed in

00:47:54.600 your country.

00:47:57.280 Because we all

00:47:58.440 know that's not

00:47:59.120 the right play.

00:48:00.520 It's not like the

00:48:01.220 Democrats think

00:48:01.900 that's the right

00:48:02.480 play.

00:48:03.020 They just think

00:48:03.640 that's maybe the

00:48:04.600 play they have.

00:48:06.060 Nobody thinks it's

00:48:06.780 a good idea.

00:48:07.960 It just might be,

00:48:09.140 in their opinion,

00:48:09.700 better than the

00:48:10.180 alternatives.

00:48:11.840 But yeah, don't

00:48:12.620 be proud of that

00:48:13.320 if that happens.

00:48:15.940 All right, there's

00:48:16.680 another drunk Kamala,

00:48:20.580 meaning that she

00:48:21.540 acts like she's

00:48:22.360 inebriated.

00:48:23.120 We don't know.

00:48:24.280 But every time

00:48:24.980 she's in public,

00:48:25.660 she does act exactly

00:48:27.220 like an inebriated

00:48:28.400 person.

00:48:29.120 And we're just

00:48:30.120 ignoring that, right?

00:48:31.840 So we've all

00:48:32.720 decided, collectively,

00:48:34.860 that the vice

00:48:35.640 president can get

00:48:36.480 up looking just

00:48:38.280 drunk or, I

00:48:40.240 don't know,

00:48:40.640 stoned or on

00:48:41.480 some kind of

00:48:41.960 drug.

00:48:43.540 In my opinion,

00:48:44.980 obviously.

00:48:46.740 How many would

00:48:47.840 agree with the

00:48:50.060 statement,

00:48:50.880 obviously?

00:48:52.120 That she's

00:48:53.000 obviously

00:48:53.580 inebriated?

00:48:54.780 Like, you can't

00:48:55.340 miss it.

00:48:55.760 Yeah, I feel

00:48:59.880 like it's

00:49:00.180 obvious.

00:49:01.040 Why does the

00:49:01.840 news completely

00:49:02.740 ignore it?

00:49:04.420 Is it because they

00:49:05.220 don't have proof,

00:49:05.960 so it's just too

00:49:07.220 far?

00:49:09.420 But nobody can

00:49:10.420 say she's

00:49:10.920 obviously looks

00:49:11.860 inebriated.

00:49:13.100 It's just

00:49:13.740 obvious.

00:49:17.000 Nobody's ever

00:49:17.680 going to bring

00:49:18.020 that up.

00:49:21.480 Heaven.

00:49:24.300 I'm more

00:49:25.080 provocative.

00:49:27.600 All right.

00:49:29.220 So here's what

00:49:30.160 she said.

00:49:31.020 She said,

00:49:31.560 when we invest

00:49:32.260 in clean

00:49:32.680 energy and

00:49:33.360 electric vehicles

00:49:34.160 and reduce

00:49:35.280 population,

00:49:36.880 what?

00:49:38.080 When we invest

00:49:39.160 in clean

00:49:39.560 energy and

00:49:40.040 electric vehicles

00:49:40.840 and reduce

00:49:42.260 population,

00:49:43.420 more of our

00:49:44.180 children can

00:49:44.720 breathe clean

00:49:45.280 air and drink

00:49:45.880 clean water.

00:49:47.380 Now, as

00:49:47.980 others have

00:49:48.500 pointed out,

00:49:49.120 she probably

00:49:49.940 meant pollution.

00:49:52.960 She probably

00:49:53.820 just, you

00:49:54.480 know, said

00:49:55.540 population

00:49:56.860 instead of

00:49:57.340 pollution.

00:49:57.660 I'd like

00:50:01.560 to tell you

00:50:04.480 what my

00:50:04.920 hypnosis

00:50:05.420 instructor

00:50:06.240 taught me

00:50:07.260 many years

00:50:09.740 ago,

00:50:10.520 that these

00:50:12.560 accidental

00:50:13.840 gaffes are

00:50:14.480 never accidents.

00:50:16.320 Now, I

00:50:16.840 don't know if

00:50:17.600 it's true.

00:50:18.160 I'll just tell

00:50:18.680 you what I

00:50:19.000 was taught.

00:50:19.860 I was taught

00:50:20.640 that these

00:50:21.060 are never

00:50:21.440 accidents.

00:50:22.980 You could

00:50:23.580 call it a

00:50:23.980 Freudian slip

00:50:24.700 if you want,

00:50:25.560 but that they

00:50:25.980 are never

00:50:26.280 accidents.

00:50:26.740 Let me tell

00:50:28.240 you where

00:50:28.600 you see

00:50:29.020 this the

00:50:29.560 most clearly.

00:50:30.400 I think

00:50:30.620 I've told

00:50:31.040 maybe the

00:50:31.760 people who

00:50:32.880 subscribe on

00:50:33.480 Locals,

00:50:33.980 they've probably

00:50:34.260 told you

00:50:34.600 this before.

00:50:36.600 But

00:50:36.760 people,

00:50:42.140 when people

00:50:42.760 are in a

00:50:43.220 dating and

00:50:43.860 romance

00:50:44.240 situation,

00:50:46.000 their choice

00:50:46.760 of words

00:50:47.260 almost always

00:50:48.420 reveal their

00:50:49.040 point of view.

00:50:50.080 Because your

00:50:50.520 sexual urge is

00:50:51.580 so strong that

00:50:52.620 it just comes

00:50:53.120 out in your

00:50:53.480 language when

00:50:54.140 you don't mean

00:50:54.640 it.

00:50:55.360 So the

00:50:55.760 classic example

00:50:56.620 my hypnosis

00:50:57.300 instructor gave

00:50:58.160 and some of

00:50:58.760 you have

00:50:58.960 heard it,

00:50:59.560 is if

00:50:59.900 somebody's

00:51:00.320 hungry and

00:51:01.980 they're just

00:51:02.360 your friend and

00:51:03.320 they want to

00:51:03.600 be your friend and

00:51:04.220 they're not

00:51:04.480 thinking of

00:51:04.800 anything,

00:51:05.460 they would

00:51:05.780 say,

00:51:06.580 I'm famished.

00:51:08.300 I'm famished.

00:51:10.080 If somebody

00:51:10.820 wants to have

00:51:11.380 sex with you and

00:51:12.560 they're hungry,

00:51:14.220 the odds of

00:51:14.860 them saying,

00:51:15.280 yeah,

00:51:15.420 I'm ravished.

00:51:16.260 I'm ravished.

00:51:17.560 I actually had

00:51:18.340 that happen to

00:51:18.900 me.

00:51:19.880 That was

00:51:20.720 actually an

00:51:21.300 example given

00:51:22.400 by the

00:51:22.920 instructor that

00:51:24.360 if somebody

00:51:24.780 confuses

00:51:25.580 ravished with

00:51:27.560 famished,

00:51:28.340 they want to

00:51:29.100 have sex with

00:51:29.600 you.

00:51:29.780 And that

00:51:30.060 actually happened

00:51:30.720 to me one

00:51:31.180 day.

00:51:32.240 Do you think

00:51:32.660 we had sex?

00:51:34.960 Yes, we did.

00:51:38.000 She became my

00:51:39.380 girlfriend for

00:51:39.960 15 years.

00:51:41.460 Yeah.

00:51:41.940 And when it

00:51:43.000 came out,

00:51:43.920 I was actually,

00:51:44.940 I think I was

00:51:46.080 just done with

00:51:46.800 hypnosis.

00:51:47.160 And when I

00:51:48.000 heard it,

00:51:49.280 I said to

00:51:49.860 myself,

00:51:50.560 oh, there it

00:51:51.020 is.

00:51:51.680 And then I

00:51:52.420 removed all

00:51:53.340 doubt.

00:51:54.540 Now, one of

00:51:54.980 the things I

00:51:55.400 realized,

00:51:56.880 you know,

00:51:58.440 these many

00:51:59.140 decades since I

00:52:00.020 learned this

00:52:00.460 trick, is that

00:52:01.560 I've never once

00:52:02.500 wondered if

00:52:04.040 somebody was

00:52:04.540 interested in

00:52:05.260 me, like,

00:52:06.280 romantically or

00:52:07.060 sexually.

00:52:08.120 I've never once.

00:52:09.560 Because their

00:52:10.060 language just

00:52:10.800 tells you exactly

00:52:11.500 what they're

00:52:11.940 thinking.

00:52:12.800 And if you're

00:52:13.300 not looking for

00:52:13.960 it, you'd

00:52:14.260 never see it.

00:52:15.500 You would

00:52:15.860 never see it if

00:52:16.720 you weren't

00:52:17.020 looking for

00:52:17.500 it.

00:52:18.240 If you

00:52:18.560 didn't know

00:52:18.980 it was

00:52:19.200 there, it

00:52:20.240 would just

00:52:20.460 be talking.

00:52:21.360 You'd never

00:52:21.700 even notice.

00:52:23.080 But does

00:52:25.540 she think that

00:52:26.260 the population

00:52:27.060 is too big

00:52:28.120 in the country?

00:52:29.060 She might.

00:52:30.640 I think she

00:52:31.480 just misspoke,

00:52:33.140 but it

00:52:33.600 might.

00:52:34.940 There's a

00:52:35.320 very good

00:52:35.700 likelihood that

00:52:37.060 it reveals her

00:52:37.860 actual thinking

00:52:38.640 about the

00:52:39.280 population,

00:52:39.940 that there's

00:52:40.220 too many

00:52:40.520 people.

00:52:41.860 Might.

00:52:43.200 Yeah, I'd

00:52:44.180 bet on it.

00:52:45.220 If you told

00:52:45.740 me to put a

00:52:46.220 bet on it,

00:52:46.680 I would bet

00:52:47.120 on it.

00:52:47.980 But maybe

00:52:48.460 60,

00:52:49.180 40.

00:52:50.620 Can't

00:52:51.140 guarantee it.

00:52:52.080 It's more

00:52:52.460 of a

00:52:53.040 statistical

00:52:53.560 thing.

00:52:55.700 Of course,

00:52:56.440 the bigger

00:52:56.740 problem is

00:52:57.180 population

00:52:57.680 collapse.

00:52:59.040 As Elon

00:52:59.800 Musk and

00:53:00.300 all the

00:53:00.620 smart people

00:53:01.080 tell you,

00:53:02.000 our big

00:53:02.320 problem is

00:53:02.740 not population

00:53:03.460 increase,

00:53:04.280 it's collapse.

00:53:05.940 That's the

00:53:06.320 big problem.

00:53:10.160 So,

00:53:10.820 drunk

00:53:11.160 comma.

00:53:11.460 nuclear

00:53:12.740 energy

00:53:13.500 department

00:53:13.940 of the

00:53:14.360 government

00:53:14.760 has an

00:53:15.940 exciting

00:53:16.340 announcement.

00:53:17.880 So,

00:53:18.020 there's a

00:53:18.520 company called

00:53:19.220 X-Energy

00:53:19.960 Nuclear,

00:53:21.060 which we

00:53:21.620 don't think

00:53:22.240 is related

00:53:22.840 to Elon

00:53:23.740 Musk.

00:53:24.760 He's naming

00:53:25.560 his stuff

00:53:26.000 X-this and

00:53:26.780 X-that.

00:53:27.780 But I think

00:53:28.100 there's no

00:53:29.440 indication that

00:53:30.140 it's connected

00:53:30.760 to Musk.

00:53:31.780 But it's

00:53:33.060 developing a

00:53:33.560 high-temperature

00:53:34.000 gas reactor

00:53:34.660 that they

00:53:35.080 say can't

00:53:35.760 melt down.

00:53:37.760 It's one

00:53:38.040 of two

00:53:38.320 advanced

00:53:38.680 reactor

00:53:39.060 designs

00:53:39.680 that is

00:53:40.900 looking to

00:53:41.400 demonstrate

00:53:41.740 this within

00:53:42.400 the decade.

00:53:43.460 So,

00:53:43.680 within the

00:53:44.020 next 10

00:53:44.440 years,

00:53:45.520 there are

00:53:45.840 two

00:53:46.040 startups

00:53:46.600 that the

00:53:47.500 Department

00:53:47.900 of Energy

00:53:48.400 is backing,

00:53:50.440 at least with

00:53:50.920 their words,

00:53:51.740 and probably

00:53:52.560 with funding,

00:53:53.900 that would

00:53:55.360 make nuclear

00:53:56.300 reactors that

00:53:57.180 can't melt

00:53:57.940 down.

00:53:59.160 Now,

00:53:59.460 that's the

00:53:59.980 so-called

00:54:00.300 Generation 4.

00:54:01.300 I've talked

00:54:01.680 about it

00:54:02.020 forever.

00:54:02.640 But when

00:54:03.100 you see it's

00:54:03.580 actually being

00:54:04.780 implemented and

00:54:05.600 there's a

00:54:05.860 real company

00:54:06.460 and real

00:54:06.860 money and

00:54:07.580 there's

00:54:08.340 more than

00:54:08.760 one of

00:54:09.120 them,

00:54:09.800 you can

00:54:10.180 say that

00:54:10.560 this is

00:54:10.880 going to

00:54:11.100 happen.

00:54:12.200 So,

00:54:12.420 it does

00:54:12.680 look like

00:54:13.260 the next

00:54:13.740 generation

00:54:14.240 of nuclear

00:54:15.140 reactors

00:54:16.200 will be

00:54:17.320 smaller,

00:54:18.280 modular,

00:54:19.520 and can't

00:54:20.540 melt down.

00:54:21.660 And they

00:54:21.860 might even

00:54:22.300 use the,

00:54:23.040 in some

00:54:23.720 cases,

00:54:24.200 they'll use

00:54:24.600 the spent

00:54:26.480 fuel and

00:54:27.940 the waste

00:54:28.420 from other

00:54:29.060 reactors as

00:54:30.180 their fuel.

00:54:31.500 I don't

00:54:31.780 know if this

00:54:32.160 one does

00:54:32.520 that,

00:54:32.800 but that's

00:54:33.120 a feature

00:54:33.740 of some

00:54:34.060 Generation 4.

00:54:36.100 So,

00:54:36.680 that's all

00:54:36.980 good news.

00:54:37.580 some would

00:54:39.200 say great

00:54:40.540 news.

00:54:41.800 So,

00:54:42.360 if I were

00:54:42.680 to look at

00:54:43.120 the state

00:54:45.140 of the

00:54:45.440 election,

00:54:46.960 in my

00:54:47.340 opinion,

00:54:47.940 if something

00:54:48.560 happened to

00:54:49.260 take Trump

00:54:50.120 out of the

00:54:51.020 primary,

00:54:53.160 and of course

00:54:53.640 it's Trump,

00:54:54.260 so you've

00:54:54.800 got to say

00:54:55.140 anything could

00:54:55.680 happen,

00:54:56.060 right?

00:54:56.840 Where Trump

00:54:57.620 is involved,

00:54:59.580 prediction just

00:55:00.500 goes out the

00:55:01.000 door,

00:55:01.400 because his

00:55:02.360 enemies will

00:55:04.460 do nearly

00:55:04.980 anything,

00:55:05.600 Russia collusion,

00:55:07.620 hide the

00:55:08.000 laptop,

00:55:08.520 they'll do

00:55:08.780 anything to

00:55:09.380 keep him

00:55:09.760 out,

00:55:10.040 so you

00:55:10.280 can't

00:55:10.540 predict

00:55:10.800 anything

00:55:11.140 that's

00:55:11.400 going to

00:55:11.580 happen,

00:55:12.380 because the

00:55:12.760 other side

00:55:13.160 will do

00:55:13.620 anything to

00:55:14.400 stop him,

00:55:15.500 but on

00:55:15.980 his side,

00:55:17.180 he's also

00:55:17.700 really hard

00:55:18.300 to predict,

00:55:18.960 because he'll

00:55:20.500 do just about

00:55:21.160 what he needs

00:55:21.720 to do or

00:55:22.320 say to get

00:55:23.820 the job

00:55:24.200 done.

00:55:25.460 So,

00:55:26.280 here's my

00:55:27.040 take.

00:55:28.240 If Trump,

00:55:29.440 for any

00:55:29.820 reason,

00:55:30.540 left the

00:55:30.920 race,

00:55:31.280 I think

00:55:32.720 Vivek would

00:55:33.480 overtake

00:55:34.180 DeSantis.

00:55:36.960 Tell me

00:55:37.680 I'm wrong.

00:55:39.620 It wouldn't

00:55:40.020 happen right

00:55:40.520 away.

00:55:42.980 I think,

00:55:44.520 because once

00:55:45.460 you agree that

00:55:46.200 they need to

00:55:46.820 debate,

00:55:48.360 it's over.

00:55:50.660 It's over.

00:55:52.480 Yeah.

00:55:52.880 As good as

00:55:53.760 DeSantis is,

00:55:55.060 and he's

00:55:55.420 totally solid,

00:55:56.880 I actually

00:55:57.340 don't,

00:55:58.160 I'm not sure

00:55:58.900 I have any

00:55:59.400 criticisms of

00:56:00.260 DeSantis

00:56:00.680 whatsoever.

00:56:02.620 Have I ever

00:56:03.480 criticized DeSantis?

00:56:04.700 Maybe a decision

00:56:05.480 or something.

00:56:06.760 But,

00:56:07.700 he's a solid,

00:56:08.940 solid citizen

00:56:10.780 and professional.

00:56:14.100 He's just not

00:56:14.700 exciting.

00:56:15.560 And I think

00:56:15.940 Vivek can

00:56:16.920 out-excite us.

00:56:19.040 I think he

00:56:19.620 can tell you,

00:56:20.740 he can tell a

00:56:21.360 better story.

00:56:22.220 But he would,

00:56:23.100 he would just,

00:56:24.020 I think he would

00:56:24.740 just turn DeSantis

00:56:27.100 into dust

00:56:27.960 on a debate

00:56:29.320 stage.

00:56:29.720 But I don't

00:56:30.620 think there

00:56:31.020 is necessarily

00:56:31.740 going to be

00:56:32.240 a debate

00:56:32.640 if Trump

00:56:33.300 is still

00:56:33.760 in the primary,

00:56:34.440 right?

00:56:35.900 I have mixed

00:56:36.860 feelings about

00:56:37.500 Trump debating.

00:56:39.680 On one hand,

00:56:41.200 as long as he

00:56:41.800 has a commanding

00:56:42.500 lead in the

00:56:42.980 primary,

00:56:44.000 debating is

00:56:44.580 stupid.

00:56:46.020 That would be

00:56:46.740 stupid,

00:56:47.400 because it

00:56:47.720 would be a

00:56:48.060 bad strategy.

00:56:50.560 And,

00:56:50.920 you know,

00:56:51.300 if Trump did

00:56:51.940 something that

00:56:52.400 was, like,

00:56:52.900 obviously stupid,

00:56:55.040 I wouldn't be

00:56:56.220 cool with it.

00:56:57.060 On the other

00:56:58.300 hand,

00:56:59.460 wouldn't you

00:56:59.940 love to know

00:57:00.960 that the guy

00:57:01.940 who's way ahead

00:57:03.520 is so confident

00:57:04.880 that he would

00:57:06.680 debate anybody?

00:57:08.600 It would be

00:57:09.200 bad strategy.

00:57:11.700 It would just

00:57:12.040 be dumb,

00:57:12.660 because Trump

00:57:13.740 could find a

00:57:14.260 way to lose

00:57:14.940 without getting

00:57:16.500 any advantage

00:57:17.180 from a debate.

00:57:18.220 Like, the

00:57:18.540 advantage wouldn't

00:57:19.120 boost him.

00:57:20.200 It could only

00:57:20.660 take him down.

00:57:21.740 But at the

00:57:22.400 same time,

00:57:23.660 wouldn't you

00:57:24.080 love to see it?

00:57:24.900 Wouldn't you

00:57:26.880 love to see it?

00:57:28.100 And the reason

00:57:28.660 I'd love to see

00:57:29.340 it is that

00:57:29.840 it would feel

00:57:30.340 like a free

00:57:32.440 market,

00:57:34.120 free speech,

00:57:36.580 tell the

00:57:37.580 public what

00:57:38.240 you got,

00:57:39.020 don't hide

00:57:39.500 anything,

00:57:40.960 full disclosure,

00:57:43.280 full transparency.

00:57:45.460 See,

00:57:45.720 the things,

00:57:47.120 here's the

00:57:47.600 problem.

00:57:48.360 Okay,

00:57:48.580 maybe I just

00:57:49.480 came upon it

00:57:50.180 myself as I

00:57:51.200 was talking.

00:57:52.500 The problem

00:57:53.220 is that the

00:57:53.740 package that

00:57:54.460 Trump is

00:57:54.920 selling requires

00:57:56.920 him also to

00:57:57.720 debate, to

00:57:59.420 be consistent.

00:58:01.100 Right?

00:58:01.440 Because Trump

00:58:01.980 would be, you

00:58:02.480 know, free

00:58:02.900 speech, free

00:58:03.780 markets,

00:58:05.040 transparency,

00:58:06.580 right?

00:58:07.460 These are all

00:58:08.260 sort of conservative

00:58:08.940 Republican things.

00:58:10.000 Those things all

00:58:11.260 lead you, and

00:58:12.520 even competition.

00:58:14.880 What are

00:58:15.920 Republicans like

00:58:16.680 more than

00:58:17.020 anything?

00:58:18.260 Competition.

00:58:20.140 Competition.

00:58:21.220 So if the

00:58:21.660 guy who is

00:58:22.200 the leader of

00:58:23.260 your party

00:58:23.900 who primarily

00:58:25.280 thinks,

00:58:25.840 primarily,

00:58:27.020 thinks that

00:58:27.600 merit and

00:58:28.500 competition and

00:58:29.620 the free market

00:58:30.380 should be the

00:58:31.360 driving forces of

00:58:32.460 our civilization,

00:58:33.700 and then he's

00:58:34.260 telling you he's

00:58:34.720 not going to

00:58:35.060 give it to you?

00:58:36.180 Because he's

00:58:36.740 not going to

00:58:37.140 debate because

00:58:37.680 it would be a

00:58:38.080 bad strategy for

00:58:38.900 him personally?

00:58:40.700 Is that cool?

00:58:43.120 Is it cool that

00:58:44.040 he's running for

00:58:44.900 a set of standards

00:58:45.800 that he's modeling

00:58:47.160 the opposite of

00:58:48.220 because they're not

00:58:48.740 good for him

00:58:49.240 personally?

00:58:50.260 Not cool.

00:58:51.400 It's not cool.

00:58:52.020 Now, I think

00:58:52.940 that that applies

00:58:54.400 to the right in

00:58:55.280 a way it doesn't

00:58:55.860 apply to the

00:58:56.420 left, right?

00:58:58.620 Biden is an

00:58:59.540 incumbent, and I

00:59:01.080 don't hate the

00:59:02.380 fact that an

00:59:03.760 incumbent refuses

00:59:05.540 to debate in the

00:59:06.880 primary.

00:59:07.760 I prefer it, but

00:59:09.880 because it makes

00:59:10.940 sense, I don't

00:59:12.820 oppose it.

00:59:13.640 It makes sense

00:59:14.480 because the

00:59:15.020 incumbent has a

00:59:15.900 record that is

00:59:17.180 effectively their

00:59:18.100 debate.

00:59:19.760 Am I right?

00:59:20.280 You just look at

00:59:21.580 Biden's record, and

00:59:22.820 that's the debate, and

00:59:24.740 then you listen to

00:59:25.400 what the alternative

00:59:26.380 person says, and

00:59:28.380 that's their debate.

00:59:29.820 So it's not as good

00:59:30.800 as a debate, but

00:59:32.440 debates are sort of

00:59:33.240 gotcha opportunities.

00:59:34.960 It's an opportunity

00:59:36.280 for somebody to have

00:59:37.100 a moment or to

00:59:37.900 fail, but there's

00:59:39.740 not much information.

00:59:41.360 You're not getting a

00:59:41.980 lot of information,

00:59:42.800 right?

00:59:42.920 So it would be such

00:59:48.320 a baller, oh, you

00:59:50.980 know what Trump

00:59:51.960 could do?

00:59:53.460 Oh, this would be

00:59:54.420 diabolical.

00:59:55.740 All right, I'm just

00:59:56.140 going to brainstorm

00:59:56.840 this.

00:59:58.240 Trump could agree to

00:59:59.560 debates and then

01:00:01.620 frame it in public as

01:00:03.840 him searching for his

01:00:04.900 vice presidential pick.

01:00:07.380 Oh, my God.

01:00:09.720 That would be so, that

01:00:13.060 would be such a baller

01:00:14.120 thing to do, to agree

01:00:15.820 to a debate that you're

01:00:17.780 so confident about that

01:00:19.860 you frame it as your

01:00:20.860 search for a vice

01:00:21.780 president.

01:00:23.200 Wow.

01:00:28.460 Suppose he said, I'm

01:00:30.120 going to choose from

01:00:30.960 one of these candidates.

01:00:33.260 I don't think he'll say

01:00:34.480 that, because Trump

01:00:36.020 doesn't like to limit

01:00:36.960 his options, so he

01:00:38.960 won't say this, but

01:00:40.000 just for fun, imagine

01:00:41.780 if he said, yeah, I'd

01:00:42.740 like to do a debate

01:00:43.600 because I'm looking for

01:00:44.480 a vice presidential pick

01:00:45.660 and I want it to be one

01:00:47.060 of these characters.

01:00:48.800 Probably not Pence.

01:00:50.500 Probably not Pence, but

01:00:51.860 we'll invite him anyway

01:00:52.780 because, you know, it's

01:00:53.560 part of the process.

01:00:56.140 That would be so

01:00:57.140 strong.

01:00:58.340 It would force the

01:00:59.880 public to only talk

01:01:01.640 about which one is the

01:01:02.820 right vice presidential

01:01:03.680 pick, and he would

01:01:05.020 make them think totally

01:01:08.480 pass the sale.

01:01:10.820 And as often as the

01:01:12.060 article said, but, but,

01:01:13.760 but, you have to

01:01:14.980 understand, you know,

01:01:16.740 he hasn't been

01:01:17.660 nominated, so it's

01:01:19.060 really not up to him to

01:01:20.040 pick a vice president.

01:01:21.120 You have to understand,

01:01:22.200 he's getting ahead of

01:01:23.720 himself.

01:01:24.520 It doesn't matter.

01:01:25.700 It would be brilliant.

01:01:27.160 It would be hilarious.

01:01:30.120 It would also be funny

01:01:31.360 if Trump recommended a

01:01:33.620 debate for the other

01:01:35.000 candidates for the purpose

01:01:36.940 of picking his vice

01:01:37.880 president, and then

01:01:38.660 don't go.

01:01:39.860 You know, don't be on

01:01:40.600 the stage because he

01:01:41.480 doesn't need to.

01:01:43.220 Remember, Trump also

01:01:44.840 has his, you know, his

01:01:47.380 record in office.

01:01:48.940 That's his debate.

01:01:50.820 His debate is, look what

01:01:52.320 I did.

01:01:53.400 I want to do more of

01:01:54.560 that.

01:01:55.320 That's the whole debate.

01:01:57.000 Right?

01:01:57.800 What else do you need to

01:01:58.940 know about Trump?

01:02:00.380 Is there some information

01:02:01.620 about Trump you don't

01:02:02.500 know?

01:02:02.780 And that he would

01:02:05.200 reveal in a, somehow he

01:02:06.780 would reveal this new

01:02:07.740 information for you in a

01:02:09.980 debate?

01:02:10.560 That's not going to

01:02:11.200 happen.

01:02:12.060 So actually, as I'm

01:02:13.880 talking, here's Trump's

01:02:15.800 best play.

01:02:17.140 Trump's best play is to

01:02:18.760 strongly recommend a

01:02:20.060 debate, even, oh my

01:02:21.460 God.

01:02:24.360 I was going to say he

01:02:25.060 should host it, but then

01:02:25.940 they wouldn't go.

01:02:27.200 So he should strongly

01:02:28.040 recommend a debate so

01:02:30.000 that he can pick a

01:02:30.740 vice presidential

01:02:31.360 candidate and just say

01:02:32.780 it right out loud.

01:02:35.400 Because everybody's

01:02:36.380 thinking it, right?

01:02:37.960 I told you, the thing

01:02:39.020 that Trump does is he

01:02:40.200 says what you're

01:02:40.800 thinking, and he says

01:02:42.880 it, you know, better

01:02:43.840 than you're thinking

01:02:44.500 it.

01:02:46.480 And you're thinking

01:02:47.560 those other candidates

01:02:48.480 are running for vice

01:02:49.280 president, aren't you?

01:02:50.420 That's what you're

01:02:50.980 thinking.

01:02:51.760 Not Pence, of course.

01:02:53.400 Pence is not.

01:02:54.660 But you're thinking

01:02:55.640 it.

01:02:56.600 So why not just say

01:02:57.740 it?

01:02:58.620 If you said it,

01:02:59.580 everybody would go,

01:03:01.360 all right, yeah, okay.

01:03:03.280 Like, let's get rid of

01:03:04.360 that illusion.

01:03:05.660 Let's get rid of the

01:03:06.560 illusion.

01:03:08.240 Now, the truth is that

01:03:11.320 I'm sure that DeSantis

01:03:12.440 is running for president.

01:03:14.180 I don't think he wants

01:03:15.260 to be vice president.

01:03:16.220 And I don't think

01:03:16.720 Pence does.

01:03:18.380 But Tim Scott,

01:03:21.220 Vivek, you know,

01:03:23.060 Vivek wants to be

01:03:23.960 president, as does

01:03:25.020 Tim Scott, I'm sure.

01:03:26.980 But maybe because

01:03:28.040 they're younger, you

01:03:29.000 know, they would go

01:03:29.500 through the vice

01:03:30.040 president's step to

01:03:31.140 have a better chance

01:03:32.440 at the big office.

01:03:33.800 So they're a little

01:03:34.900 different.

01:03:36.280 That they're all

01:03:37.140 running for president,

01:03:38.040 for sure.

01:03:39.160 But in your mind,

01:03:40.000 you're thinking,

01:03:40.540 well, really,

01:03:41.420 it's a two-step process

01:03:43.220 for at least two of them.

01:03:45.380 Maybe Nikki Haley

01:03:46.340 as well.

01:03:46.700 All right.

01:03:48.840 Ladies and gentlemen,

01:03:49.920 this concludes

01:03:50.720 the best live stream

01:03:52.680 you're going to see

01:03:53.320 today.

01:03:53.660 I like to think

01:03:55.300 I put all the

01:03:56.020 podcasters to shame

01:03:57.180 with my insights

01:03:58.700 and coffee sipping.

01:04:00.500 It's a package

01:04:01.260 that you're not

01:04:01.740 going to get

01:04:02.060 anywhere else.

01:04:03.240 And by the way,

01:04:04.300 if you count

01:04:05.020 the hour or so

01:04:06.500 I do most nights

01:04:07.440 from a man cave,

01:04:08.900 just for subscribers

01:04:09.920 of the locals

01:04:11.000 platform,

01:04:12.420 I give you

01:04:14.000 something like

01:04:15.140 60 hours

01:04:17.380 of commercial-free

01:04:19.960 programming

01:04:20.660 on your interest

01:04:22.920 and politics

01:04:23.540 every day,

01:04:25.440 seven days a week.

01:04:27.800 So,

01:04:28.440 if you don't think

01:04:29.320 that's worth

01:04:29.740 a few bucks

01:04:30.560 to get it

01:04:31.100 commercial-free,

01:04:33.300 two ways to get

01:04:34.020 it commercial-free,

01:04:34.760 by the way.

01:04:35.500 One,

01:04:35.900 on YouTube,

01:04:36.820 you can

01:04:37.340 just buy

01:04:39.440 whatever YouTube's

01:04:41.580 package is

01:04:42.120 that gets rid

01:04:42.660 of the commercials.

01:04:43.540 I forget what

01:04:44.020 it's called.

01:04:45.400 But the second way

01:04:46.960 you can do it

01:04:47.520 is you could

01:04:48.440 subscribe to

01:04:49.380 locals,

01:04:50.580 scottadams.locals.com,

01:04:52.160 and if you're

01:04:53.300 over there,

01:04:53.700 you get my

01:04:54.440 second comic,

01:04:56.040 Robots Renews,

01:04:57.560 which is a little

01:04:58.140 edgier than even

01:04:59.020 Dilbert Reborn.

01:05:00.040 So you get

01:05:00.480 Dilbert Reborn,

01:05:01.860 60 hours of

01:05:02.920 this.

01:05:05.380 That would include

01:05:06.320 all the

01:05:06.740 man cave episodes,

01:05:08.900 which are for

01:05:09.500 adults only.

01:05:11.120 The man cave episodes

01:05:12.280 are not for children.

01:05:14.860 All right.

01:05:15.600 I never went

01:05:16.400 private on this,

01:05:17.120 but I don't think

01:05:17.520 it mattered.

01:05:17.840 What about

01:05:22.960 the Secret

01:05:23.580 Service bailing

01:05:24.300 on the cocaine

01:05:24.900 they found?

01:05:25.400 Well,

01:05:25.700 I think we've

01:05:26.240 told that story.

01:05:27.780 The story of

01:05:28.640 the Secret

01:05:29.640 Service and

01:05:30.360 the White

01:05:30.700 House cocaine

01:05:31.380 is that

01:05:36.100 they're

01:05:36.400 obviously

01:05:36.880 hiding,

01:05:38.620 it's obviously

01:05:39.460 a miscarriage

01:05:40.380 of justice.

01:05:41.840 What else

01:05:42.580 could it be?

01:05:44.440 I mean,

01:05:45.240 realistically,

01:05:46.020 there's no

01:05:47.040 chance they're

01:05:47.540 telling you the

01:05:48.020 truth.

01:05:49.180 You know that,

01:05:49.920 right?

01:05:50.780 There's nobody,

01:05:51.840 literally nobody,

01:05:53.180 who believes

01:05:53.840 that that's true,

01:05:55.060 that they can't

01:05:55.680 find him and

01:05:57.520 there's nothing

01:05:57.940 else to know.

01:05:59.640 Nobody believes

01:06:00.380 that.

01:06:03.660 Yeah.

01:06:04.880 All right.

01:06:07.740 So,

01:06:08.320 ladies and

01:06:08.680 gentlemen,

01:06:09.660 why Dilbert's

01:06:10.260 tie is always

01:06:10.840 flying right and

01:06:11.960 left?

01:06:13.980 Well,

01:06:14.440 he doesn't wear

01:06:14.900 a tie anymore.

01:06:16.020 He hasn't

01:06:16.600 worn a tie.

01:06:17.440 When did

01:06:18.240 Dilbert stop

01:06:18.920 wearing a tie?

01:06:21.460 Ten years

01:06:22.120 ago?

01:06:23.660 It's been a

01:06:24.140 long time since

01:06:24.840 he had a tie,

01:06:25.640 but you remember

01:06:26.260 him with a tie.

01:06:29.720 2010?

01:06:31.040 Do you

01:06:31.540 actually remember

01:06:32.240 that?

01:06:36.200 When did he

01:06:36.880 lose weight?

01:06:38.120 Yeah,

01:06:38.340 he did.

01:06:39.100 The characters

01:06:40.220 did lose a little

01:06:40.980 weight.

01:06:42.520 Just happened

01:06:43.200 over time.

01:06:43.700 Yeah.

01:06:46.020 They got a

01:06:49.040 person to

01:06:49.560 lie and

01:06:50.040 tell us

01:06:50.320 the cameras

01:06:50.820 were down.

01:06:54.020 Oh,

01:06:54.560 let me give

01:06:54.920 you an

01:06:55.100 update on

01:06:55.660 my one

01:06:56.180 million

01:06:56.600 followers on

01:06:59.680 Twitter that's

01:07:00.320 coming close.

01:07:01.980 We're at

01:07:02.800 998.7.

01:07:05.340 1.3,000

01:07:09.380 to go.

01:07:13.480 You took

01:07:14.320 magnesium and

01:07:15.020 overslept?

01:07:15.800 Sorry.

01:07:18.300 Sorry.

01:07:20.260 Oh,

01:07:20.720 it's premium?

01:07:21.500 Is that what the

01:07:22.560 YouTube service,

01:07:23.920 is it premium?

01:07:24.500 do you think

01:07:30.640 the coke was a

01:07:31.660 distraction?

01:07:32.440 No.

01:07:36.260 No.

01:07:38.120 Don't think

01:07:38.800 so.

01:07:39.820 I don't think

01:07:40.660 you would plant

01:07:41.520 cocaine in your

01:07:42.440 own house as a

01:07:43.300 distraction.

01:07:45.120 Is that how you

01:07:45.980 do it?

01:07:46.380 If you're

01:07:47.980 trying to...

01:07:52.380 Who plants

01:07:55.100 drugs in their

01:07:55.820 own house as a

01:07:56.620 distraction?

01:08:00.800 That might be

01:08:01.800 the worst take

01:08:02.600 of the entire

01:08:03.560 political history.

01:08:06.740 Did they plant

01:08:08.060 drugs on

01:08:08.560 themselves to

01:08:09.280 distract from

01:08:09.980 their other

01:08:10.360 problems?

01:08:11.060 Yes.

01:08:14.640 Strategic

01:08:15.240 incompetence.

01:08:16.380 Okay.

01:08:18.700 I'm going to be

01:08:19.400 laughing about

01:08:19.920 that today.

01:08:21.860 I do like

01:08:22.760 your instinct,

01:08:24.240 though.

01:08:24.820 I like your

01:08:25.400 instinct that

01:08:26.620 diversion from

01:08:27.300 something else.

01:08:28.360 Because you're

01:08:28.980 usually going to
