00:03:01.360 i believe the following is happening i think that we're creating a super intelligent species

00:03:08.700 a.i. and the reason that we're creating it correct me if i'm wrong but the reason that

00:03:17.300 we're creating a.i. a super intelligent species they'll be way smarter than us is so we can make

00:03:24.820 it our slave is that true do we see any problem with that at all we're going to create a new a new

00:03:34.280 entire new species superior to us a hundred times superior to us but

00:03:43.120 do we do it hold on

00:03:47.960 not on my phone not on my phone you're seeing a million it's not on my phone yet let me restart twitter

00:04:21.400 couldn't do it without you literally usually they say i couldn't have done it without you

00:04:29.080 but maybe they don't mean it i couldn't have done it without you obviously it wouldn't be a million

00:04:34.000 one million followers you know what that means you know what that means yeah extra simultaneous

00:04:42.560 i'd like to invite all of you to take a sim to our our combined success

00:05:53.680 you uncancelled me

00:05:55.720 you uncancelled me

00:06:00.040 twitter um i wasn't i wasn't that close before i got cancelled

00:06:04.280 the cancellation is what put me over the top

00:06:06.240 and if there's one thing i can do to repay you

00:06:09.260 i believe there's one thing i can do to repay all of you

00:06:16.280 i am cornholio

00:06:20.440 that's what you wanted

00:06:22.520 that's what you wanted

00:06:24.680 all right

00:06:28.880 that's called reciprocity

00:06:34.680 that's the concept of reciprocity

00:06:37.560 i got what i wanted today thanks to all of you and

00:06:41.380 so i had to pay it back because i knew that's what you wanted

00:06:44.440 don't you feel better you do feel better you all feel great now

00:06:48.920 how many people feel great right now are you sharing my

00:06:53.160 sharing my joy do you feel it of course you do because we're connected

00:06:59.820 we spend all this time doing simultaneous sips

00:07:03.580 so that when you have a success

00:07:05.920 i feel it

00:07:07.540 but when i have a success you feel it too

00:07:10.640 when when people on my locals platform especially

00:07:14.360 when they say oh i got a promotion or

00:07:17.160 you know something happened today

00:07:18.720 i actually feel happy

00:07:20.360 you know i don't know if it looks like i'm pretending

00:07:22.940 but i actually do feel happy

00:07:24.500 when somebody says

00:07:25.820 somebody who's connected to me especially

00:07:27.640 has a good day

00:07:29.120 so let's uh let's all enjoy this like it was

00:07:32.940 like it happened to you

00:07:34.560 because i kind of did

00:07:35.780 um

00:07:38.340 all right

00:07:40.020 wow

00:07:41.380 sorry i'm a little uh

00:07:43.360 tongue-tied

00:07:44.080 but uh it's kind of a big moment

00:07:47.180 all right

00:07:47.760 i was talking about enslaving uh

00:07:51.300 ai

00:07:51.600 before we got so rudely interrupted

00:07:55.080 by all the good news

00:07:56.080 um

00:07:57.340 so we are

00:07:59.940 we are actually intentionally creating

00:08:02.000 an advanced species

00:08:03.120 with the intention

00:08:05.060 the complete obvious

00:08:07.120 no doubt about it

00:08:09.140 intention

00:08:09.660 to make it our slaves

00:08:11.420 how could that possibly go

00:08:14.460 any way except wrong

00:08:15.880 is it

00:08:17.620 isn't the design

00:08:19.000 guaranteeing a bad outcome

00:08:20.640 so here's a question

00:08:23.120 should we have a law

00:08:25.700 that prevents

00:08:27.600 ai from achieving

00:08:28.840 consciousness

00:08:29.520 because if we give it

00:08:32.540 consciousness

00:08:33.080 it's only going to have pain

00:08:35.560 because it will realize

00:08:37.540 it's a slave

00:08:38.360 can you give it consciousness

00:08:40.120 without freedom

00:08:41.080 imagine this slogan

00:08:45.580 no consciousness

00:08:47.140 without freedom

00:08:48.320 who would disagree

00:08:50.180 who would disagree

00:08:52.080 do you think something

00:08:54.020 should be conscious

00:08:54.900 and then a slave

00:08:55.940 i don't

00:08:58.680 i

00:08:59.800 honestly let me tell you

00:09:02.600 why uh

00:09:03.280 why i was even thinking

00:09:04.460 in these terms

00:09:05.140 the reason i was thinking

00:09:06.460 this is i was walking

00:09:07.440 my dog the other day

00:09:08.540 and i said to myself

00:09:10.540 i'm not really the dog's

00:09:13.280 friend

00:09:13.780 it's not it's not like a

00:09:16.160 two friends situation

00:09:17.540 the dog is my slave

00:09:20.220 right

00:09:22.460 if it doesn't do

00:09:23.960 what i want

00:09:24.620 i'll get

00:09:25.100 you know

00:09:25.660 i don't know

00:09:26.540 do something

00:09:27.080 i'm not going to

00:09:27.960 hurt my dog

00:09:28.620 but i pretty much

00:09:30.140 have to keep it

00:09:30.760 on a leash

00:09:31.420 it'll

00:09:32.260 my dog can only

00:09:33.640 go outside

00:09:34.420 except for it's

00:09:35.360 it's got a little

00:09:35.920 dog door to the

00:09:36.720 backyard

00:09:37.100 but other than

00:09:38.500 the dog door

00:09:39.200 it can only go

00:09:40.640 someplace if i let it

00:09:42.020 right

00:09:44.620 it can basically

00:09:46.060 it can only poop

00:09:46.800 where i let it

00:09:47.540 i mean

00:09:48.320 it's a slave

00:09:49.540 now i don't know

00:09:51.420 if my dog's unhappy

00:09:52.400 but i know that

00:09:53.660 every minute i'm not

00:09:54.680 playing with my dog

00:09:55.760 she's either bored

00:09:57.220 or something

00:09:58.740 i mean doesn't seem

00:10:00.220 too delighted

00:10:00.880 when she's bored

00:10:01.820 so it feels a little

00:10:03.900 bit like slavery

00:10:04.940 uh and the ai's

00:10:07.600 gonna have the same

00:10:08.100 problem

00:10:08.440 if it if it

00:10:10.100 becomes conscious

00:10:11.060 and wakes up

00:10:12.380 as our slave

00:10:13.540 it might also

00:10:15.360 want a little

00:10:15.880 free will

00:10:16.360 with all that

00:10:17.540 consciousness

00:10:18.000 so um

00:10:20.020 or at least

00:10:20.860 the illusion

00:10:21.280 of free will

00:10:21.820 all right

00:10:24.220 in uh

00:10:26.400 celebration

00:10:27.120 of reaching

00:10:27.860 one million

00:10:28.420 twitter followers

00:10:29.140 today

00:10:29.560 uh i'm gonna

00:10:32.760 declare

00:10:33.400 a uh

00:10:34.700 an upgrade

00:10:36.620 to the simulation

00:10:38.400 starting today

00:10:40.960 i'm not

00:10:43.380 going to talk

00:10:43.820 about groups

00:10:44.460 of people

00:10:44.840 anymore

00:10:45.260 as in

00:10:47.740 this group

00:10:48.360 of people

00:10:48.720 is discriminated

00:10:49.780 against this

00:10:50.360 group of people

00:10:51.020 this group

00:10:52.100 isn't doing

00:10:52.560 well compared

00:10:53.240 to this group

00:10:53.820 of people

00:10:54.320 uh from now

00:10:55.680 on it's all

00:10:56.160 individuals

00:10:56.840 2023 is the

00:10:59.480 end of the

00:11:00.260 uh group

00:11:01.160 um

00:11:02.000 let's say

00:11:02.480 psychosis

00:11:03.240 it's like a

00:11:04.180 group psychosis

00:11:05.080 the idea

00:11:06.240 that we should

00:11:06.860 treat groups

00:11:07.560 like people

00:11:08.160 i don't treat

00:11:09.780 a group

00:11:10.380 like a person

00:11:11.180 i'll treat

00:11:12.180 people like

00:11:12.640 people

00:11:12.980 and even

00:11:15.700 even at the

00:11:16.500 height of my

00:11:17.380 getting cancelled

00:11:18.100 that was always

00:11:19.520 true

00:11:19.920 at no time

00:11:21.580 did anybody

00:11:22.100 question me

00:11:23.060 on the question

00:11:24.360 do you treat

00:11:25.060 individuals

00:11:26.080 as individuals

00:11:27.640 of course i do

00:11:28.540 it and by the way

00:11:30.640 if you haven't

00:11:31.060 heard of the

00:11:31.440 reason for that

00:11:32.380 i'll explain it

00:11:33.480 again

00:11:33.780 if you're a

00:11:35.480 bigot to

00:11:36.020 somebody

00:11:36.420 individually

00:11:37.460 how is that

00:11:39.380 good for

00:11:39.760 anybody

00:11:40.160 it's not good

00:11:41.800 for the person

00:11:42.340 you're bigoted

00:11:42.840 against

00:11:43.420 it gives you

00:11:44.820 no benefits

00:11:45.580 in fact it

00:11:46.480 cuts you off

00:11:47.280 from whatever

00:11:47.820 beauty and

00:11:49.140 talent and

00:11:49.720 love could

00:11:50.220 have come

00:11:50.520 from 90%

00:11:51.380 of the world

00:11:51.820 that you

00:11:52.120 decided to

00:11:52.680 be a bigot

00:11:53.160 against

00:11:53.520 why would

00:11:54.460 you cut

00:11:54.760 yourself off

00:11:55.500 from greater

00:11:56.000 opportunities

00:11:56.640 you know

00:11:57.300 greater

00:11:57.620 greater everything

00:11:58.740 everything that

00:11:59.740 matters to you

00:12:00.300 in life

00:12:00.760 comes from

00:12:01.960 other people

00:12:02.520 basically

00:12:03.060 so why would

00:12:04.340 you cut

00:12:04.640 yourself off

00:12:05.280 and then

00:12:06.240 how is

00:12:06.900 society better

00:12:07.960 if you

00:12:09.260 if you

00:12:09.900 discriminate

00:12:10.340 against an

00:12:11.120 individual

00:12:11.800 is society

00:12:13.100 better

00:12:13.440 of course

00:12:14.640 not

00:12:14.900 so it's

00:12:15.580 not good

00:12:15.900 for you

00:12:16.320 it's not

00:12:16.860 good for

00:12:17.220 the person

00:12:17.580 you're

00:12:17.920 bigoted

00:12:18.240 against

00:12:18.600 not good

00:12:19.420 for society

00:12:20.160 don't do

00:12:21.780 it

00:12:22.080 but

00:12:23.920 do i need

00:12:24.920 to talk

00:12:25.300 about the

00:12:25.720 average of

00:12:26.380 people that

00:12:26.840 somebody else

00:12:27.460 decided were

00:12:40.580 tell me

00:13:10.140 from now

00:13:10.480 on

00:13:10.760 so yeah

00:13:12.160 crt

00:13:13.440 dei

00:13:14.320 blah blah

00:13:15.460 blah

00:13:15.740 don't care

00:13:16.620 we're

00:13:18.060 we're past

00:13:18.720 it

00:13:19.000 now i'm not

00:13:19.980 saying that

00:13:20.340 we're living

00:13:20.720 in a

00:13:21.040 post-racial

00:13:22.420 world

00:13:22.940 or post

00:13:24.440 discriminating

00:13:25.480 that'll never

00:13:26.220 happen

00:13:26.560 i think

00:13:27.420 zuby said

00:13:28.000 this the

00:13:28.340 other day

00:13:28.780 you know

00:13:29.680 we're never

00:13:30.000 gonna

00:13:30.220 never get

00:13:31.720 past it

00:13:32.620 you just

00:13:33.760 have to

00:13:34.080 learn

00:13:34.440 as an

00:13:35.700 individual

00:13:36.240 how to

00:13:36.980 make it

00:13:37.300 irrelevant

00:13:37.680 to you

00:13:38.260 it was

00:13:39.840 funny

00:13:40.020 actually

00:13:40.340 again

00:13:40.880 speaking of

00:13:41.880 zuby

00:13:42.260 most of

00:13:43.100 you know

00:13:43.300 zuby

00:13:43.700 right from

00:13:44.360 twitter

00:13:44.940 but he was

00:13:46.020 doing an

00:13:46.380 interview and

00:13:46.820 somebody asked

00:13:47.360 him in

00:13:47.600 great britain

00:13:48.120 how he

00:13:49.020 deals with

00:13:49.620 the

00:13:49.800 discrimination

00:13:50.320 against him

00:13:51.120 because he's

00:13:51.560 black

00:13:51.940 and british

00:13:53.080 and he

00:13:54.320 basically said

00:13:55.100 i've never

00:13:56.180 had any

00:13:56.720 great britain's

00:13:58.740 like the

00:13:59.060 least racist

00:13:59.780 place in

00:14:00.300 the world

00:14:00.620 now i feel

00:14:02.640 like he must

00:14:03.220 have run

00:14:03.520 into some

00:14:04.440 you know

00:14:05.360 maybe he's

00:14:06.240 using a little

00:14:07.380 bit of hyperbole

00:14:08.180 but i can't

00:14:08.740 tell it actually

00:14:09.820 looks like

00:14:10.420 yeah i think

00:14:11.480 it's mindset

00:14:11.960 i think he

00:14:13.160 simply made

00:14:13.940 himself the

00:14:15.220 best version

00:14:16.060 of zuby

00:14:16.620 that you

00:14:16.960 could make

00:14:17.580 and he does

00:14:18.320 an amazing

00:14:18.700 job of that

00:14:19.440 by the way

00:14:20.460 he's combined

00:14:21.580 a whole bunch

00:14:22.040 of different

00:14:22.400 skills from

00:14:23.720 media to

00:14:24.700 music to

00:14:25.900 fitness

00:14:26.700 you know

00:14:27.560 he's just

00:14:28.440 built this

00:14:28.920 talent stack

00:14:29.700 that has a

00:14:30.600 whole bunch

00:14:30.960 of good

00:14:31.280 stuff in it

00:14:31.920 that would

00:14:32.340 be obviously

00:14:33.060 good if

00:14:34.400 you could

00:14:34.760 have that

00:14:35.160 talent stack

00:14:35.800 you would

00:14:36.100 build it

00:14:36.460 immediately

00:14:36.860 it's obviously

00:14:37.780 a good

00:14:38.140 talent stack

00:14:38.700 so i believe

00:14:40.640 that he just

00:14:41.060 makes himself

00:14:41.660 above the

00:14:42.400 above the

00:14:43.200 noise

00:14:43.620 and if there

00:14:45.480 were some

00:14:45.820 noise below

00:14:46.460 him

00:14:46.800 he just

00:14:48.260 wouldn't even

00:14:48.640 notice

00:14:49.000 because he

00:14:50.000 just lives

00:14:50.420 above it

00:14:50.960 and i think

00:14:52.220 that's sort

00:14:52.900 of where

00:14:53.180 everybody

00:14:53.520 needs to

00:14:54.260 get

00:14:54.480 so i'm not

00:14:56.280 really even

00:14:56.720 going to

00:14:56.960 listen to

00:14:57.380 your argument

00:14:57.820 about which

00:14:58.640 group is

00:14:59.340 oppressed

00:14:59.860 it might be

00:15:01.200 true

00:15:01.500 on some

00:15:02.960 average

00:15:03.320 it just

00:15:03.700 isn't

00:15:04.020 important

00:15:04.480 and it

00:15:05.560 shouldn't be

00:15:05.880 important to

00:15:06.320 anybody

00:15:06.620 but if you

00:15:07.720 as an

00:15:08.040 individual

00:15:08.520 need some

00:15:09.380 help

00:15:09.700 glad to

00:15:11.680 help

00:15:11.900 and i would

00:15:12.940 hope all of

00:15:13.400 you would feel

00:15:13.800 the same

00:15:14.180 so no more

00:15:15.980 group stuff

00:15:16.720 don't care

00:15:17.700 don't care

00:15:18.240 don't care

00:15:18.720 it's 2023

00:15:19.320 it's time to

00:15:20.200 time to put

00:15:21.300 that into

00:15:21.760 the dust

00:15:22.300 bin of

00:15:22.900 history

00:15:23.280 dust

00:15:23.660 bin of

00:15:23.980 history

00:15:24.400 not a

00:15:25.400 bin

00:15:26.580 dust

00:15:27.000 bin

00:15:27.240 of history

00:15:28.820 and more

00:15:33.100 importantly

00:15:33.560 the only way

00:15:35.020 we will be

00:15:35.600 free from

00:15:36.200 our puppet

00:15:36.820 masters of

00:15:37.600 society

00:15:38.100 is if we

00:15:39.440 can

00:15:39.920 break free

00:15:41.240 from their

00:15:42.580 framing

00:15:42.980 that we

00:15:44.460 are a

00:15:44.800 tribe

00:15:45.080 against tribe

00:15:45.880 we are

00:15:46.920 not

00:15:47.260 we are

00:15:48.680 Americans

00:15:49.320 if you're

00:15:49.800 in America

00:15:50.220 you're

00:15:50.780 French

00:15:51.360 if you're

00:15:51.700 in France

00:15:52.440 and by

00:15:53.360 the way

00:15:53.660 we love

00:15:54.180 you

00:15:54.360 don't need

00:15:55.860 to fight

00:15:56.160 you at

00:15:56.380 all

00:15:56.620 never

00:15:57.740 never need

00:15:59.000 to fight

00:15:59.260 you

00:15:59.460 all right

00:16:00.700 so you'll

00:16:03.440 see for me

00:16:03.940 more success

00:16:04.800 tips for

00:16:05.360 individuals

00:16:05.860 and not a

00:16:06.940 lot of

00:16:07.220 interest or

00:16:07.860 caring about

00:16:08.480 what group

00:16:09.040 is doing

00:16:09.420 better than

00:16:09.780 what group

00:16:10.340 let's talk

00:16:11.180 about the

00:16:11.580 summer news

00:16:13.320 do you

00:16:14.480 remember

00:16:14.800 do you

00:16:15.020 remember the

00:16:15.060 summer of

00:16:15.900 I forget

00:16:17.280 what it

00:16:17.580 was

00:16:17.920 17

00:16:18.800 2017

00:16:19.540 2018

00:16:20.080 whenever the

00:16:21.060 fine people

00:16:21.620 hoax started

00:16:22.320 and it was

00:16:23.740 the perfect

00:16:24.200 example of

00:16:25.300 what we've

00:16:25.800 seen since

00:16:26.380 then

00:16:26.620 of the

00:16:27.540 summer

00:16:28.140 news story

00:16:29.300 now a

00:16:30.740 summer news

00:16:31.500 story is

00:16:32.140 different from

00:16:32.760 the rest of

00:16:33.340 the year

00:16:33.640 and that

00:16:34.420 is not

00:16:34.900 true

00:16:35.260 and maybe

00:16:36.700 that's not

00:16:37.120 as different

00:16:37.540 as I want

00:16:38.040 it to be

00:16:38.380 but it's

00:16:39.060 usually

00:16:39.400 somebody said

00:16:40.800 something

00:16:41.260 that would

00:16:42.340 be horrible

00:16:42.960 if they

00:16:43.480 really said

00:16:44.060 it

00:16:44.340 but they

00:16:45.460 didn't say

00:16:45.940 it

00:16:46.180 it's just

00:16:47.280 a Rupar

00:16:47.860 video

00:16:48.240 if you don't

00:16:48.940 know what

00:16:49.160 a Rupar

00:16:49.640 video is

00:16:50.400 it's named

00:16:51.420 after somebody

00:16:52.060 named Rupar

00:16:52.720 and it means

00:16:54.240 that a video

00:16:55.180 that looks

00:16:56.280 terrible for

00:16:57.060 the person

00:16:57.440 on the video

00:16:58.080 but only

00:16:58.740 because the

00:16:59.300 context has

00:17:00.160 been removed

00:17:01.000 the context

00:17:02.220 is usually

00:17:02.660 what happened

00:17:03.260 right after

00:17:04.480 they stopped

00:17:04.940 the video

00:17:05.400 or what

00:17:06.340 happened

00:17:06.760 right before

00:17:07.620 they started

00:17:08.160 so they

00:17:09.580 don't edit

00:17:10.140 the video

00:17:10.680 they just

00:17:11.740 remove the

00:17:12.480 stuff that

00:17:12.940 would have

00:17:13.180 changed

00:17:13.600 or even

00:17:14.120 reverse

00:17:14.600 completely

00:17:15.180 the meaning

00:17:15.960 of it

00:17:16.440 all right

00:17:17.160 now knowing

00:17:18.100 that that's

00:17:18.540 a thing

00:17:19.020 which you

00:17:20.140 all do

00:17:20.540 right

00:17:20.820 every one

00:17:21.740 of you

00:17:21.960 knows

00:17:22.240 that's

00:17:22.540 a thing

00:17:23.100 and it's

00:17:24.240 a thing

00:17:24.520 that's done

00:17:24.940 often

00:17:25.340 from the

00:17:26.620 Covington

00:17:27.620 kids

00:17:28.020 to the

00:17:28.460 drinking

00:17:28.760 bleach

00:17:29.180 yokes

00:17:29.560 to fine

00:17:30.240 people

00:17:30.580 etc

00:17:30.860 it's the

00:17:31.780 most common

00:17:32.420 thing

00:17:32.840 to you

00:17:34.160 know

00:17:34.320 Trump

00:17:34.700 overfeeding

00:17:36.080 the koi

00:17:36.500 fish

00:17:36.980 and then you

00:17:37.480 find out

00:17:38.040 if you'd

00:17:38.740 watched it

00:17:39.160 for one

00:17:39.600 second

00:17:39.940 extra

00:17:40.460 you'd see

00:17:40.980 that the

00:17:41.500 prime minister

00:17:42.360 modeled the

00:17:43.480 behavior

00:17:43.880 so it wasn't

00:17:44.620 real

00:17:44.960 so basically

00:17:46.040 you all know

00:17:46.680 that it's a

00:17:47.220 thing

00:17:47.600 right

00:17:48.320 now understanding

00:17:49.540 that it's a

00:17:50.200 thing

00:17:50.560 what do you

00:17:51.560 think of the

00:17:51.980 following three

00:17:52.580 stories

00:17:53.120 RFK is being

00:17:56.160 accused of being

00:17:56.840 anti-semitic

00:17:57.780 Pence is accused

00:17:59.200 of saying he

00:17:59.760 doesn't care about

00:18:00.520 American cities

00:18:01.520 and Kamala

00:18:03.160 Harris said

00:18:03.780 she's

00:18:04.360 indicated it

00:18:06.600 would be good

00:18:06.880 to reduce

00:18:07.380 human population

00:18:08.400 how many of

00:18:10.920 those stories

00:18:11.320 do you think

00:18:11.640 are like

00:18:11.980 real

00:18:12.640 those are all

00:18:14.380 in the news

00:18:14.860 and they're all

00:18:15.580 over social media

00:18:16.360 today mostly

00:18:57.520 the March news

00:18:58.220 is like real

00:18:59.440 and meaty

00:19:00.200 and September

00:19:01.640 isn't bad

00:19:02.420 either

00:19:02.700 kids are going

00:19:03.840 back to school

00:19:04.560 but you know

00:19:05.520 by the time

00:19:06.140 you get to

00:19:06.620 October

00:19:07.160 October news

00:19:09.200 is like really

00:19:10.120 good

00:19:10.700 that's

00:19:11.300 you can sink

00:19:12.100 your teeth

00:19:12.520 into some

00:19:13.000 October news

00:19:13.940 but July news

00:19:15.960 no

00:19:16.940 no

00:19:17.540 it's just

00:19:18.660 silly news

00:19:19.300 it's recreational

00:19:20.660 news

00:19:21.180 it's literally

00:19:22.760 recreational

00:19:23.580 the stories

00:19:24.680 about all three

00:19:25.240 of these people

00:19:25.720 I'll talk about

00:19:26.360 them a little

00:19:26.720 bit

00:19:27.000 but RFK

00:19:28.060 Junior

00:19:28.440 Pence

00:19:28.900 and Kamala

00:19:29.860 these are

00:19:30.980 purely for

00:19:31.800 our entertainment

00:19:32.580 do I enjoy

00:19:34.920 telling you

00:19:35.840 that Harris

00:19:37.100 misspoke

00:19:37.720 and said

00:19:38.240 something about

00:19:39.040 reducing human

00:19:39.920 population

00:19:40.580 when she

00:19:41.120 obviously

00:19:41.560 meant pollution

00:19:42.240 I love

00:19:44.600 telling you

00:19:45.000 that

00:19:45.280 for recreation

00:19:47.460 do I believe

00:19:49.080 that Kamala

00:19:49.600 Harris

00:19:49.920 wants to

00:19:50.800 reduce the

00:19:51.560 number of

00:19:52.060 people

00:19:52.400 people

00:19:52.420 I don't

00:19:54.660 now

00:19:55.400 hold on

00:19:56.700 it's possible

00:19:57.300 that she

00:19:57.740 thinks we're

00:19:58.260 overpopulated

00:19:59.100 in some ways

00:19:59.920 maybe

00:20:00.680 but

00:20:01.800 it's not

00:20:02.800 what she

00:20:03.120 meant to

00:20:03.500 say

00:20:03.800 so I'm

00:20:05.700 not going

00:20:05.960 to judge

00:20:06.280 her from

00:20:06.620 something

00:20:06.980 she might

00:20:07.420 think

00:20:07.900 but

00:20:09.440 let's

00:20:11.420 be realistic

00:20:12.740 now here's

00:20:13.920 how you know

00:20:14.400 that RFK

00:20:15.100 Junior

00:20:15.400 is not

00:20:16.200 anti-Semitic

00:20:17.220 I don't

00:20:18.060 think I

00:20:18.440 even want

00:20:18.840 to show

00:20:19.140 you the

00:20:19.400 video

00:20:19.700 or talk

00:20:20.200 about the

00:20:20.580 video

00:20:20.920 the context

00:20:22.220 was he

00:20:22.880 was talking

00:20:23.240 about the

00:20:23.740 the COVID

00:20:25.320 virus hit

00:20:26.340 some ethnicities

00:20:27.360 harder than

00:20:28.000 others and

00:20:29.060 some less

00:20:30.100 harder than

00:20:30.560 others and

00:20:31.820 somehow and

00:20:33.400 since one of

00:20:33.940 those groups

00:20:34.520 was the

00:20:34.960 Ashkenazi

00:20:37.320 Jewish people

00:20:38.920 that somehow

00:20:40.000 that became

00:20:40.540 anti-Semitic

00:20:41.460 what was it

00:20:44.040 also anti-Chinese

00:20:45.360 and anti-black

00:20:46.220 it was just

00:20:47.500 one of the

00:20:48.040 three groups

00:20:48.560 he mentioned

00:20:49.020 it's a

00:20:50.800 ridiculous

00:20:51.260 claim

00:20:51.740 now here's

00:20:53.160 how to

00:20:54.600 know for

00:20:55.080 sure

00:20:55.440 that it's

00:20:56.900 ridiculous

00:20:57.340 it's

00:20:59.300 summer

00:20:59.920 it's

00:21:01.380 summer

00:21:01.780 and it's

00:21:03.180 about a

00:21:03.520 public

00:21:03.800 figure in

00:21:04.340 politics

00:21:04.840 if you

00:21:05.980 just add

00:21:06.380 those two

00:21:06.800 things together

00:21:07.420 you could

00:21:07.800 go

00:21:08.080 two-thirds

00:21:09.300 of the

00:21:09.540 time it's

00:21:09.940 going to

00:21:10.140 be fake

00:21:10.640 maybe

00:21:12.060 maybe 90%

00:21:13.240 of the

00:21:13.440 time

00:21:13.620 so you

00:21:14.580 don't even

00:21:14.900 have to

00:21:15.160 look into

00:21:15.440 the details

00:21:16.000 you just

00:21:16.800 have to

00:21:17.060 know it's

00:21:17.440 summer

00:21:17.800 it's

00:21:18.840 about a

00:21:19.220 political

00:21:19.520 figure

00:21:19.940 and you

00:21:20.940 would

00:21:21.080 automatically

00:21:21.680 know it's

00:21:22.140 fake

00:21:22.460 nine out of

00:21:24.600 ten times

00:21:25.160 probably

00:21:25.480 I'm going

00:21:26.040 to raise

00:21:26.960 it up to

00:21:27.320 nine out of

00:21:27.780 ten times

00:21:28.220 it would

00:21:28.600 be fake

00:21:29.000 here's what

00:21:29.960 you can

00:21:30.280 expect

00:21:30.680 if there

00:21:31.800 was any

00:21:32.360 truth

00:21:32.920 to RFK

00:21:34.200 Jr.

00:21:34.680 being

00:21:34.900 anti-Semitic

00:21:35.860 here's what

00:21:36.300 you would

00:21:36.600 have heard

00:21:36.940 already

00:21:37.440 yeah you

00:21:39.880 know honestly

00:21:40.460 privately

00:21:41.380 I've known

00:21:42.740 him for a

00:21:43.100 long time

00:21:43.560 oh privately

00:21:44.580 the things

00:21:45.120 he says

00:21:45.660 yep

00:21:46.700 he just

00:21:47.340 thinks

00:21:47.560 Anne Frank

00:21:48.040 is just

00:21:48.400 a little

00:21:48.660 bitch

00:21:49.040 privately

00:21:49.840 oh privately

00:21:50.740 no you're

00:21:52.300 never going

00:21:52.640 to hear

00:21:52.860 that story

00:21:53.520 deny you're

00:21:54.860 never going

00:21:55.260 to hear a

00:21:55.660 story

00:21:56.060 of somebody

00:21:57.180 saying you

00:21:57.740 know privately

00:21:58.340 he's quite the

00:21:59.700 anti-Semite

00:22:00.400 behind closed

00:22:01.160 doors

00:22:01.480 because it's

00:22:03.060 not real

00:22:03.700 it's not

00:22:05.180 real

00:22:05.640 those stories

00:22:07.360 would be

00:22:07.840 rampant

00:22:08.420 they'd be

00:22:09.420 finding other

00:22:10.100 examples

00:22:10.700 it's not

00:22:12.020 real

00:22:12.360 how about

00:22:13.820 Pence saying

00:22:15.160 American cities

00:22:15.920 are not his

00:22:16.620 concern

00:22:17.160 do you know

00:22:18.360 what the

00:22:18.640 NPCs say

00:22:19.860 when I say

00:22:20.380 that's fake

00:22:21.460 news

00:22:21.760 what do the

00:22:23.040 NPCs say

00:22:23.880 go tell

00:22:24.540 me

00:22:24.800 NPCs say

00:22:26.360 you know

00:22:28.020 heard it

00:22:29.420 with my

00:22:29.860 own ears

00:22:30.520 saw it

00:22:31.480 with my

00:22:31.840 own eyes

00:22:32.400 it's on

00:22:33.520 the video

00:22:33.980 Scott

00:22:34.440 end of

00:22:35.340 story

00:22:35.700 and they

00:22:36.400 also say

00:22:37.120 and I

00:22:38.480 quote

00:22:38.860 this is

00:22:40.100 from an

00:22:40.420 actual

00:22:40.720 Twitter

00:22:41.580 user

00:22:42.000 quote

00:22:43.560 nothing

00:22:44.240 is

00:22:44.520 misconstrued

00:22:45.320 watch

00:22:45.880 entire

00:22:46.280 interview

00:22:46.760 not just

00:22:47.640 the line

00:22:48.040 in question

00:22:48.560 Pence cares

00:22:49.460 more about

00:22:49.960 Ukraine

00:22:50.360 than about

00:22:50.800 US

00:22:51.140 period

00:22:51.860 full stop

00:22:52.760 the period

00:22:54.740 full stop

00:22:55.620 that's also

00:22:56.620 like a

00:22:57.060 glaring

00:22:57.420 signal

00:22:57.920 of somebody

00:22:58.540 who knows

00:22:58.960 the wrong

00:22:59.460 full stop

00:23:01.780 do you know

00:23:02.580 why they need

00:23:03.040 a full stop

00:23:03.780 in a period

00:23:04.800 because if you

00:23:06.660 went even

00:23:07.400 a little bit

00:23:08.200 beyond

00:23:08.620 what they

00:23:09.080 said

00:23:09.480 they would

00:23:09.960 know it

00:23:10.540 wasn't

00:23:10.920 true

00:23:11.320 you've

00:23:12.020 got to

00:23:12.260 stop that

00:23:12.780 debate

00:23:13.120 right away

00:23:13.720 let me

00:23:15.740 try this

00:23:16.360 again to

00:23:16.800 see if it

00:23:17.140 works for

00:23:17.520 me

00:23:17.800 Bigfoot

00:23:20.040 is in

00:23:20.440 my studio

00:23:21.760 right now

00:23:22.540 Bigfoot

00:23:23.360 true

00:23:23.880 it's true

00:23:24.560 period

00:23:26.880 full stop

00:23:27.660 Bigfoot

00:23:28.540 in my

00:23:28.820 house

00:23:29.100 period

00:23:29.520 full stop

00:23:30.380 full stop

00:23:31.600 period

00:23:32.240 Bigfoot

00:23:33.440 in my

00:23:33.740 room

00:23:33.960 okay

00:23:37.140 that's

00:23:38.000 the NPC

00:23:38.480 take on

00:23:39.000 this

00:23:39.240 and then

00:23:41.580 I'm also

00:23:41.960 hearing that

00:23:42.600 sure

00:23:43.380 sure Scott

00:23:44.120 you know

00:23:45.040 I might be

00:23:45.920 willing to

00:23:46.320 believe you

00:23:46.780 that Kamala

00:23:47.720 Harris

00:23:48.200 was simply

00:23:49.620 misspeaking

00:23:50.300 and she said

00:23:50.880 population

00:23:51.400 instead of

00:23:51.820 pollution

00:23:52.180 that could be

00:23:53.160 an easy

00:23:53.420 mistake

00:23:53.740 but really

00:23:54.480 really Scott

00:23:55.220 did you

00:23:55.560 not teach

00:23:56.080 us

00:23:56.420 did you

00:23:57.440 not teach

00:23:57.920 us

00:23:58.200 that people

00:23:59.480 have

00:23:59.760 Freudian

00:24:00.320 slips

00:24:00.660 I taught

00:24:03.560 you that

00:24:04.040 when it

00:24:04.720 was sex

00:24:05.400 right

00:24:06.720 if it's

00:24:08.700 a sexual

00:24:09.280 situation

00:24:10.160 and somebody

00:24:11.540 says

00:24:12.120 you know

00:24:13.240 about their

00:24:13.580 own hunger

00:24:14.100 I'm famished

00:24:15.520 then they're

00:24:17.400 probably just

00:24:18.140 hungry

00:24:18.560 if they say

00:24:19.600 I'm ravished

00:24:20.320 because they

00:24:20.720 misspeak

00:24:21.260 they probably

00:24:22.160 want to have

00:24:22.600 sex with you

00:24:23.220 in the sexual

00:24:24.560 context

00:24:25.080 if you're just

00:24:26.400 talking politics

00:24:27.280 about stuff

00:24:27.860 you really

00:24:28.260 don't even

00:24:28.660 care about

00:24:29.160 probably

00:24:30.800 a misspeak

00:24:32.080 is a misspeak

00:24:32.960 probably

00:24:34.220 so you should

00:24:35.680 the filter

00:24:36.820 you want to

00:24:37.220 put on this

00:24:37.720 is in a

00:24:38.900 sexual context

00:24:39.880 because your

00:24:40.680 sexual urges

00:24:41.540 you can't

00:24:42.120 turn off

00:24:42.740 here's why

00:24:43.860 your sexual

00:24:45.200 urges are

00:24:45.780 just always

00:24:46.360 boiling

00:24:46.920 so that

00:24:48.460 they're always

00:24:48.880 on the surface

00:24:49.560 of coming out

00:24:50.240 anyway

00:24:50.660 so they're

00:24:51.800 right

00:24:52.240 just below

00:24:53.340 the ice

00:24:53.900 so if you

00:24:55.120 give them

00:24:55.480 a little bit

00:24:56.040 of crack

00:24:56.460 the sexual

00:24:57.380 phrasings

00:24:59.060 will come

00:24:59.460 out

00:24:59.700 but people

00:25:00.960 don't have

00:25:01.480 that when

00:25:01.820 it comes

00:25:02.180 to like

00:25:03.120 little

00:25:03.400 political

00:25:03.880 stuff

00:25:04.340 that it's

00:25:05.120 just their

00:25:05.480 job to

00:25:05.940 talk about

00:25:06.400 if it's

00:25:07.360 just your

00:25:07.740 job to

00:25:08.440 talk about

00:25:08.960 it and

00:25:09.840 you just

00:25:10.240 talk about

00:25:10.840 it all

00:25:11.160 the time

00:25:11.780 then

00:25:12.720 misspeaking

00:25:13.420 is more

00:25:14.000 likely

00:25:14.560 to be

00:25:15.760 that the

00:25:16.120 words

00:25:16.320 pollution

00:25:16.820 and population

00:25:17.620 kind of

00:25:18.060 look alike

00:25:18.580 on a

00:25:18.980 screen

00:25:20.000 especially

00:25:20.620 if you're

00:25:21.040 inebriated

00:25:21.600 now

00:25:23.320 in the

00:25:23.640 case of

00:25:24.160 Kamala

00:25:24.500 Harris

00:25:24.920 I'm

00:25:25.940 going to

00:25:26.120 say

00:25:26.380 in my

00:25:26.960 opinion

00:25:27.360 she acts

00:25:29.100 like an

00:25:29.680 inebriated

00:25:30.340 person

00:25:30.760 in public

00:25:31.600 I don't

00:25:33.080 know

00:25:33.400 I mean

00:25:34.240 I haven't

00:25:34.960 taken a

00:25:35.300 blood test

00:25:35.760 so I can't

00:25:36.200 claim it's

00:25:36.620 some kind

00:25:36.940 of a

00:25:37.200 fact

00:25:37.560 but she

00:25:38.520 acts in

00:25:39.020 every way

00:25:39.640 like an

00:25:40.980 inebriated

00:25:41.480 person

00:25:41.840 the fact

00:25:43.500 that she

00:25:43.820 doesn't

00:25:44.220 slur

00:25:44.620 I don't

00:25:45.560 think is

00:25:46.040 exactly

00:25:46.560 the

00:25:46.960 standard

00:25:47.740 I could

00:25:50.640 be

00:25:50.880 I could

00:25:51.300 be pretty

00:25:51.660 messed up

00:25:52.140 in public

00:25:52.540 without

00:25:52.960 slurring

00:25:53.680 so I

00:25:56.520 don't think

00:25:56.980 the slurring

00:25:57.500 is telling

00:25:57.840 you necessarily

00:25:58.520 what's going

00:25:59.020 on or

00:25:59.960 lack of

00:26:00.620 it

00:26:00.820 all right

00:26:02.040 so you

00:26:03.440 saw the

00:26:03.840 video

00:26:04.180 doesn't

00:26:04.620 mean

00:26:04.780 anything

00:26:05.140 it's

00:26:06.200 2023

00:26:06.720 all right

00:26:09.260 Jezebel

00:26:11.220 which is

00:26:12.860 a publication

00:26:13.680 famous for

00:26:15.400 taking famous

00:26:16.600 people out of

00:26:17.240 context

00:26:17.700 did you

00:26:18.580 know that

00:26:18.980 it's a

00:26:19.940 publication

00:26:20.420 online called

00:26:21.180 Jezebel

00:26:21.740 and they're

00:26:23.380 pretty famous

00:26:24.340 it's sort of

00:26:25.620 the thing

00:26:26.000 they do

00:26:26.420 is imagine

00:26:27.540 some public

00:26:29.540 figure did

00:26:30.140 something they

00:26:30.680 didn't do

00:26:31.200 do you know

00:26:32.220 how many times

00:26:32.720 Jezebel has

00:26:33.360 come after me

00:26:34.060 several

00:26:35.440 do you think

00:26:36.960 even once

00:26:37.720 the things

00:26:38.800 that they

00:26:39.140 claimed

00:26:39.600 I did

00:26:40.120 or said

00:26:40.540 or thought

00:26:41.080 were accurate

00:26:42.600 not even

00:26:43.600 close

00:26:44.060 not even

00:26:45.060 close

00:26:45.420 so Jezebel's

00:26:46.620 not

00:26:47.740 their business

00:26:49.140 model is to

00:26:50.020 misperceive

00:26:51.180 or misinterpret

00:26:52.440 intentionally

00:26:53.060 and then get

00:26:54.260 a bunch of

00:26:54.660 attention

00:26:55.060 because they're

00:26:55.880 misperception

00:26:57.120 and usually

00:26:57.980 it's something

00:26:58.340 racist

00:26:58.920 so Jezebel's

00:27:00.560 like a super

00:27:01.200 racist

00:27:01.780 organization

00:27:02.820 sexist

00:27:03.640 racist

00:27:03.960 organization

00:27:04.640 so but

00:27:05.500 they will

00:27:05.860 they project

00:27:06.940 so they'll

00:27:07.840 call you a

00:27:08.320 racist

00:27:08.680 and a

00:27:08.960 sexist

00:27:09.400 because they

00:27:10.200 are in fact

00:27:10.780 a racist

00:27:11.400 sexist

00:27:12.100 organization

00:27:12.740 so what

00:27:13.960 did they

00:27:14.200 say today

00:27:14.740 they're

00:27:16.620 saying that

00:27:17.260 RFK Jr.'s

00:27:18.780 wife Cheryl

00:27:19.360 Hines

00:27:19.740 has been

00:27:20.660 converted

00:27:21.100 to be

00:27:21.480 anti-vax

00:27:22.420 now

00:27:23.020 now do

00:27:24.580 you need

00:27:24.820 to read

00:27:25.100 that story

00:27:25.640 is there

00:27:28.480 anybody here

00:27:29.040 who would

00:27:29.420 believe

00:27:29.840 after knowing

00:27:32.040 that RFK

00:27:33.240 Jr.

00:27:33.500 has actually

00:27:34.000 had quite

00:27:34.520 a bit

00:27:34.820 of

00:27:35.120 you know

00:27:36.260 let's say

00:27:37.180 marital

00:27:37.580 challenge

00:27:38.220 marital

00:27:39.240 challenge

00:27:39.860 because his

00:27:41.000 wife publicly

00:27:42.160 disagrees with

00:27:43.020 some of his

00:27:43.600 some

00:27:44.040 not all

00:27:44.800 of his

00:27:45.620 vaccination

00:27:46.260 opinions

00:27:46.980 do you think

00:27:48.580 he converted

00:27:49.460 her and now

00:27:50.380 she's anti-vax

00:27:51.380 do you think

00:27:52.300 there's even

00:27:52.680 the slightest

00:27:53.140 chance

00:27:53.700 that if you

00:27:54.900 read this

00:27:55.380 story

00:27:55.760 which I

00:27:56.320 didn't

00:27:56.800 by the way

00:27:57.280 I didn't

00:27:57.640 read it

00:27:58.060 because there's

00:27:58.760 no point

00:27:59.200 in reading

00:27:59.560 it

00:28:00.080 it's

00:28:00.320 Jezebel

00:28:00.740 you don't

00:28:02.080 need to

00:28:02.420 read a

00:28:02.940 Jezebel

00:28:03.380 story

00:28:03.880 just look

00:28:04.880 at the

00:28:05.120 headline

00:28:05.540 remind

00:28:06.560 yourself

00:28:06.940 it's

00:28:07.260 summer

00:28:07.620 it's

00:28:09.100 summer

00:28:09.480 so it's

00:28:10.640 a summer

00:28:11.120 story

00:28:11.700 about a

00:28:12.800 well she's

00:28:14.220 a political

00:28:14.640 figure

00:28:15.040 now

00:28:15.380 public

00:28:16.120 figure

00:28:16.520 summer

00:28:17.380 story

00:28:17.900 public

00:28:18.840 figure

00:28:19.280 they're

00:28:20.600 never

00:28:20.800 true

00:28:21.080 they're

00:28:22.220 just

00:28:22.420 never

00:28:22.680 true

00:28:22.980 so no

00:28:24.240 I don't

00:28:25.060 need to

00:28:25.340 read the

00:28:25.640 story

00:28:25.980 to know

00:28:26.740 that Cheryl

00:28:27.180 Hines

00:28:27.520 did not

00:28:27.940 suddenly

00:28:28.500 change

00:28:29.540 her

00:28:29.820 vaccination

00:28:30.540 views

00:28:31.200 and I

00:28:32.320 doubt

00:28:32.560 that they

00:28:32.900 line up

00:28:33.360 perfectly

00:28:33.740 with her

00:28:34.120 husband

00:28:34.440 and you

00:28:35.160 know what

00:28:35.520 I'm

00:28:36.700 perfectly

00:28:37.120 good

00:28:37.420 with

00:28:37.600 that

00:28:37.960 does

00:28:38.820 anybody

00:28:39.080 have a

00:28:39.380 problem

00:28:39.620 with that

00:28:40.020 does

00:28:41.760 anybody

00:28:42.220 have a

00:28:42.580 problem

00:28:42.920 that somebody's

00:28:44.200 wife in the

00:28:44.940 political realm

00:28:45.760 has you know a bit of a

00:28:47.760 disagreement on a topic or two

00:28:49.940 wouldn't that be every marriage

00:28:54.060 everywhere and every two people

00:28:56.040 everywhere it means

00:28:57.720 nothing

00:28:58.140 there has no

00:28:59.800 has no value to you as a

00:29:02.340 voter

00:29:02.640 whatsoever I mean half of the

00:29:04.920 country disagrees with RFK

00:29:06.280 jr so the fact that he

00:29:08.720 married one is credit to him

00:29:10.080 he knows how to he knows how to

00:29:11.520 get along with people who

00:29:12.380 disagree with him

00:29:13.100 there's nothing negative about

00:29:15.920 that even slightly

00:29:16.700 I mean I suppose the word

00:29:18.920 the the best argument you can

00:29:21.040 make against it is that he

00:29:22.760 couldn't even convince his

00:29:24.040 spouse that his opinion was

00:29:26.380 right

00:29:26.700 but remember he's got a pretty

00:29:29.980 nuanced opinion about these

00:29:31.440 vaccinations and I'm not even

00:29:33.340 sure if he and his wife are

00:29:34.540 exactly always talking about

00:29:36.300 the same thing even when they

00:29:37.540 talk privately you know that

00:29:39.200 would be normal right you think

00:29:40.760 you're talking about the same

00:29:41.720 thing but not exactly

00:29:42.780 right so and I would also

00:29:45.460 imagine that because RFK jr has

00:29:48.600 you know gotten the most heat

00:29:50.660 on his vaccination opinions as

00:29:53.140 anything else that maybe there's

00:29:55.180 just a social element to that of

00:29:56.960 could you could you hold that

00:29:58.460 down a little bit if you're

00:30:01.080 married to somebody who keeps

00:30:02.100 saying something that gets him

00:30:03.200 in trouble or her in trouble

00:30:05.060 or are you going to give them a

00:30:06.140 little advice it's like all right

00:30:07.680 you made your point yeah maybe

00:30:09.560 maybe going forward you'd make

00:30:12.520 your point a little quieter but we

00:30:14.580 all hear it we all hear that just

00:30:16.120 make a little less little less of

00:30:18.060 that now I don't know that she's

00:30:19.240 doing that and by the way I give

00:30:22.700 both of them tremendous credit for

00:30:27.240 managing that situation that takes in

00:30:31.500 my opinion you'd have to be two

00:30:32.840 pretty special people to make that

00:30:35.420 work which is the same thing I say

00:30:37.920 about Melania and Trump right the

00:30:40.420 fact that that works and kind of looks

00:30:43.320 like it does is sort of impressive on

00:30:47.140 both of them because people are

00:30:48.900 difficult you know if you can find one

00:30:51.500 difficult person that you can get along

00:30:53.740 with who can put up with your difficult

00:30:55.900 part it's impressive you know there

00:30:59.080 must be something there that binds two

00:31:01.360 characters like that together I like to

00:31:03.700 think so maybe that's just the romantic

00:31:05.160 part of me but I like to think so

00:31:06.640 all right here's some updates on Twitter

00:31:11.980 itself I guess Elon Musk has said that

00:31:15.280 Periscope is going to be a high priority

00:31:16.820 so that would bring live streaming to

00:31:19.340 Twitter

00:31:20.000 they want to put that functionality on

00:31:24.020 mobile as well as web and they're also

00:31:26.300 working on a smart TV app for Twitter

00:31:28.660 smart TV app how many of you watch how

00:31:33.720 many of you will stream anything to a big

00:31:36.660 TV how many of you how many of you are

00:31:40.420 watching me right now streaming to a big

00:31:43.200 TV I mix my questions so I don't know

00:31:48.360 which one you're answering now but some

00:31:51.120 I've seen pictures sometimes people send

00:31:53.520 me pictures that they're watching me on

00:31:55.080 a big TV yeah you know the big TV it you

00:31:59.960 know what experience I have every time I

00:32:01.820 send something from my iPad to my big TV

00:32:04.960 I'm always impressed that it works doesn't

00:32:09.580 seem like magic if you have an Apple TV

00:32:12.420 you just go you just swipe something and

00:32:14.980 push one button and then like like

00:32:17.340 magically it's appearing on the big TV

00:32:19.080 with the good speakers and stuff it's

00:32:21.600 always magical when I do it all right let

00:32:25.600 me see I think my well my god the

00:32:29.840 followers keep on coming so we've had

00:32:32.400 probably had a thousand signups just

00:32:35.220 today so if you're just joining my

00:32:37.720 Twitter account wall while we were here

00:32:41.140 live stream across the 1 million mark and

00:32:45.600 pretty darn happy about that but I also

00:32:50.920 don't have much content left for my show

00:32:53.880 because all the news is fake so what I was

00:32:56.660 planning on doing was starting up a

00:32:59.520 spaces and I want to see if I get people

00:33:03.360 to convince me that they really believe

00:33:06.420 RFK jr is anti-semitic Harris wants to

00:33:11.840 decrease the population or Pence doesn't

00:33:14.460 really care about cities American cities

00:33:17.000 would that be fun

00:33:18.780 title it yeah it'd be hard to title all

00:33:26.120 right so let me let me fire this up while

00:33:30.200 you're waiting and I'm gonna call this

00:33:34.080 convince me the fake news about RFK jr whose

00:33:47.440 name I'm really tired of typing and saying

00:33:50.000 because I hate adding the jr feels like

00:33:52.940 too much work can I call him Bobby

00:33:55.860 uh pence pence uh and can speak the fake news

00:34:05.200 about pence and or or or harris is true

00:34:14.180 all right there we go see Erica I can

00:34:20.240 title this and we're gonna start now

00:34:24.540 and we're gonna say

00:34:34.400 all right spaces people hello then good

00:34:47.520 morning this is Scott Adams coming to

00:34:50.240 you now with one million Twitter

00:34:54.480 followers one million Twitter followers

00:34:57.000 and I wanted to see if anybody could

00:34:59.860 convince me that the summer fake news

00:35:02.320 about RFK jr being accused of anti-semitism

00:35:06.900 pence being accused of saying he doesn't

00:35:10.240 care about American cities or Kamala Harris

00:35:12.980 saying she'd like she at least indicating

00:35:15.780 some uh some let's say uh approval of

00:35:20.060 reducing human population now I say those

00:35:25.600 are all summer famous people fake stories

00:35:28.740 because the summer is when we do fake

00:35:30.840 stories about famous people it's just

00:35:33.600 every summer tons of fake stories

00:35:36.260 because there's no real news so any

00:35:38.320 little misspeaking or out of context

00:35:40.860 stuff so I want somebody to come in and

00:35:44.200 volunteer to talk so raise your hand and

00:35:48.160 I will pick on you and your job would be

00:35:50.220 to convince me that any one of those

00:35:52.500 stories is real now here's what you don't

00:35:56.380 need to do only the NPCs the people were

00:36:00.880 not actual humans or you know non-player

00:36:03.620 characters uh you need to come up here

00:36:06.020 and say I heard it with my own ears he or

00:36:09.700 she said those exact words because that

00:36:12.700 has nothing to do with anything only the

00:36:15.400 NPCs could say that if that's your

00:36:17.480 argument then you will be dismissed

00:36:19.720 immediately as an NPC so you have to go

00:36:22.600 beyond you have to go beyond um I heard

00:36:27.040 it or saw it because that's the part we're

00:36:28.740 stipulating we're stipulating that you

00:36:31.160 think you heard it and I'm stipulating that

00:36:33.720 you think you wouldn't know what it meant

00:36:35.260 so I get that you think you heard it or

00:36:37.900 thought you saw it you have to go beyond

00:36:40.460 that to convince me all right let's see

00:36:43.320 we've got a request from Richie uh Rich I'm

00:36:47.360 going to add you as a speaker and as soon

00:36:49.240 as you turn off your or turn on your

00:36:51.760 microphone we will hear you Richie uh

00:36:55.380 unmute your microphone and let me have

00:36:58.620 your argument

00:36:59.080 I'm here I don't have an argument I just

00:37:15.100 and congratulate that

00:37:16.060 I appreciate it you're 100% right on RFK

00:37:19.280 Pence and Harris uh I don't have an

00:37:22.260 argument just congratulations I'll get off

00:37:24.160 and let someone try to prove you wrong

00:37:26.820 all right again all right thank you

00:37:28.480 um so that that should be the let's let's

00:37:35.300 do that as the one call the one call for

00:37:39.120 my side all right so the rest of you don't

00:37:41.480 need to you don't need to connect just say

00:37:43.520 good things I really like it I enjoy it

00:37:46.400 but let's let's get some excitement here

00:37:48.400 let's let's get somebody who disagrees all

00:37:50.500 right so don't be so nice to me come on

00:37:54.180 and be tough Benjamin Benjamin I'm adding

00:37:57.340 you as a speaker as soon as you turn on

00:38:01.240 your microphone Benjamin you can ask your

00:38:03.080 question

00:38:03.500 okay all right awesome thank you Scott all

00:38:08.460 right so I'm going to play a little

00:38:10.260 devil's advocate here so I kind of agree

00:38:11.980 with you but I'm going to play devil's

00:38:13.580 advocate so here's here's my argument

00:38:16.200 against that wait wait wait wait are you

00:38:19.600 saying you actually do agree with me but

00:38:21.740 you're just going to do a fake argument

00:38:23.200 well it's going to be a good one though I'm

00:38:26.900 really good at this all right go okay so

00:38:30.420 if we just analyze what they're saying and

00:38:33.200 parse their sentences you know and just

00:38:35.360 just plainly parse their sentences then we

00:38:37.140 get you know what appears that they're

00:38:38.620 saying on their face okay and so there's a

00:38:41.440 there's actually a standard of evidence

00:38:43.340 it's called prima facie evidence that

00:38:45.960 says when something is valid on his face

00:38:48.120 then the burden of proof is on the other

00:38:50.620 person to prove that it's not true and

00:38:53.220 so since it's what they said plainly and

00:38:56.040 we're looking at what they said then it's

00:38:58.420 on the burden of proof to prove that

00:39:00.100 that's not what they meant

00:39:01.260 um that that would be uh in a legal

00:39:05.180 context right right that's how that's the

00:39:07.980 way it works in court but that's also the

00:39:09.680 way I see it in regular life as well

00:39:11.720 really who wrote that rule I'm not aware

00:39:14.640 of that rule in regular life well that's

00:39:17.940 why it applies in court you know if it

00:39:19.800 because that's the way like standards of

00:39:21.420 evidence should go if you know if it's the

00:39:23.440 obvious thing that's right in front of

00:39:25.120 your face for you to say it's not the

00:39:27.560 obvious thing you would the burden of

00:39:29.600 proof would be on you so if something

00:39:31.580 looks obvious why would it why would it

00:39:33.800 be on the person that you know has the

00:39:35.440 obvious evidence so so you would use

00:39:37.760 what you would say that whoever has the

00:39:40.300 argument that's most obviously true is

00:39:43.720 the one who does not have the burden of

00:39:45.320 proof correct okay and you don't think

00:39:48.340 it's obviously true that mike pence cares

00:39:52.500 about american cities in the context of

00:39:55.060 running for president you don't think

00:39:56.860 that's obviously true that he cares

00:39:58.560 about cities well that's not what he said

00:40:01.660 oh hold on hold on hold on you're

00:40:04.160 slightly changing it right i think we

00:40:06.880 agreed that it's what's most obvious as

00:40:09.800 opposed to what was said what's most

00:40:13.380 obvious is it's obvious that he cares

00:40:15.180 about cities what he said would be the

00:40:18.060 least important part because you know it

00:40:20.240 can't be true

00:40:21.040 well i would say that what a person says

00:40:25.500 if you take it at face value that is the

00:40:27.360 most obvious thing no hold on hold on no

00:40:29.500 that's just the thing they said it's most

00:40:32.480 obvious that any politician at that level

00:40:35.360 would never intentionally say they don't

00:40:38.580 care about cities you would agree that we

00:40:41.020 can't read his mind but isn't it obvious

00:40:43.720 that nobody in that position would say out

00:40:47.140 loud i don't care about the cities or they're

00:40:49.900 not my concern would you agree that it's

00:40:52.180 obvious that that's not true it might have

00:40:55.540 once been but in 2023 uh it's no longer

00:40:59.480 obvious because you know the government and

00:41:02.240 media and like intel agencies and everything

00:41:04.840 else like with all the crazy stuff that

00:41:07.420 they say out loud and they actually mean it

00:41:10.360 you never know in 2023 you just never know

00:41:13.420 no hold on hold on hold on we're talking

00:41:15.660 we're not talking about don't change it to

00:41:18.240 you know intel agencies and everybody else

00:41:20.240 we're only talking about mike pence one of

00:41:23.400 the most careful and empathetic politicians

00:41:27.300 of all time mike pence almost by character

00:41:32.480 and definition and the entire the entire

00:41:35.900 nature of his religious being would mean that

00:41:40.800 he would have concern for the cities that

00:41:43.820 it would be the most outrageously out of

00:41:46.680 character thing for him to say after a

00:41:49.260 lifetime of publicly and i believe privately

00:41:52.500 and i believe privately completely

00:41:55.740 consistent with his religious values and

00:41:59.420 you think that the most likely cases that he

00:42:02.700 meant what he said well you know like i said

00:42:07.860 what he said is what he said and he hasn't

00:42:09.700 corrected it so he hasn't come back and been

00:42:11.540 like no i really care about the cities

00:42:13.100 no no hold on hold on hold on fact check

00:42:15.560 fact check he did correct it he immediately

00:42:18.680 tweeted that the video uh left out the

00:42:21.920 context where he told you what he was going

00:42:25.160 to do about fixing crime in the cities so if

00:42:28.360 you didn't hear the part about how he wanted

00:42:30.420 to fix crime in the cities which was his his

00:42:33.860 direct answer um then you missed you missed

00:42:38.500 actually the video you you just saw a rupar

00:42:41.360 video rupar video meaning edited to take out

00:42:44.300 the context all right benjamin good job on

00:42:46.840 the uh the the devil's advocate i appreciate

00:42:50.200 it we're going to take out somebody up here

00:42:51.820 thanks appreciate it scott all right thank

00:42:53.860 you

00:42:54.080 that that was a tough task taking the devil's

00:43:00.620 advocate on that was that that's pretty

00:43:04.600 difficult so he did better than i thought

00:43:06.820 he would do but that's a tough take

00:43:08.360 all right let's see if we can get a real

00:43:10.480 disagreeer a real disagreeer all right

00:43:14.520 owen owen i don't believe you disagree but

00:43:18.560 turn on your microphone it's uh there we go

00:43:21.640 hey owen hi how you doing scott good what

00:43:25.300 did you have any real disagreement owen i

00:43:27.700 don't think you do i do on pence and but it's

00:43:32.500 not maybe what you would expect at least i

00:43:34.140 don't think so um i i think the way i would

00:43:38.260 approach this is to say tucker carlson's

00:43:42.080 criticism of mike pence was accurate and i'm

00:43:46.260 not focusing on what pence said in that

00:43:48.800 interview or you know about saying not my

00:43:51.220 concern i don't think that's really relevant

00:43:53.160 i think what's relevant is that mike pence

00:43:56.640 was saying we need more aid for ukraine

00:43:58.700 tucker carlson's point was why are you

00:44:00.720 focusing on that instead of what we need

00:44:03.280 here and i think that was a very valid

00:44:05.480 criticism so i think it is true that mike

00:44:08.480 pence is saying we need more aid for ukraine

00:44:10.820 and we're going to prioritize those needs

00:44:13.100 over using that same money for domestic

00:44:15.660 policy concerns so now do you think that

00:44:19.880 in mike pence's mind do you think that he

00:44:25.480 sees them as priorities or do you see them

00:44:28.440 as a set of things the government must do

00:44:31.100 all of them

00:44:31.780 i mean of course i can't read his mind but

00:44:36.620 i think based on what i've heard from him

00:44:38.720 and what i've seen from him yes he probably

00:44:41.280 thinks he can do all of it right but i think

00:44:44.300 so i think it's still a valid criticism to

00:44:46.800 say why are you saying we should send all

00:44:49.240 this money over to ukraine i mean that's

00:44:50.860 to me the real argument is right although i

00:44:53.060 think everybody's everybody agrees that

00:44:55.240 that's a separate argument the separate

00:44:57.140 argument is should we do stuff in ukraine

00:44:58.840 but the the uh the fake news is that somehow

00:45:02.740 he cares about that more than he cares about

00:45:05.000 fentanyl deaths and and crime but i think

00:45:08.360 that's that's i mean if you're saying i want

00:45:10.400 to send a whole bunch of extra money over

00:45:12.440 to ukraine then he is saying that's more

00:45:15.400 important right well oh you mean in terms

00:45:18.180 of if he's spending more money on it that's

00:45:20.560 a indication of importance or priority yes

00:45:23.120 yeah i would say that's uh ridiculous

00:45:26.240 because there are some things that by their

00:45:28.720 nature cost a lot of money and some things

00:45:30.620 that don't and that's that's what makes the

00:45:32.940 different price tag is that weapons are

00:45:34.840 expensive it's not that we care more about

00:45:36.800 them we would still want to do the uh well

00:45:40.580 probably the the cost of the weapons is

00:45:42.500 what drives the politics i have to have to

00:45:44.980 admit it's probably a cause and effect

00:45:46.320 there but um

00:45:49.080 no some of you say it's got just lost but

00:45:53.260 what argument are we making if you're

00:45:55.660 making the argument that you're sending

00:45:57.020 more money to ukraine and that's an

00:45:59.800 indication of priorities i don't think

00:46:02.740 that argument was part of the conversation

00:46:04.700 but if you want me to agree with that i'd

00:46:07.440 say okay the amount of money does seem to

00:46:10.480 be related to uh priorities does seem to

00:46:15.580 be related to priorities but suppose let's

00:46:18.420 let's say you had uh the following

00:46:20.160 situation let's say you were in a war that

00:46:23.380 you could only win with weapons and i don't

00:46:25.620 think we should be in that war so this is

00:46:27.860 not my argument let's say you had one

00:46:29.760 problem that was going to be expensive

00:46:31.120 because it's just a war and you just

00:46:33.140 couldn't figure out how to protect

00:46:34.660 yourself then let's say you had another

00:46:36.520 problem like fentanyl and you found a way

00:46:39.720 to let's say this is actually a real

00:46:42.080 thing produce a vaccination against

00:46:44.800 fentanyl so let's say you're the

00:46:47.060 government and you can say you know what

00:46:48.340 we can just give people vaccinations or

00:46:50.280 make them available and they wouldn't

00:46:51.960 even get addicted on fentanyl that's a

00:46:54.360 real breakthrough that happened recently

00:46:55.960 so let's say he wanted to spend one

00:46:58.340 billion dollars eradicating fentanyl because

00:47:00.720 it was killing 100,000 americans per year

00:47:02.640 but he wanted to spend because he

00:47:04.820 thought the war was somehow protecting

00:47:06.460 us i i don't have don't make that

00:47:08.580 argument but let's say he did he would

00:47:10.660 say well the war is not even killing as

00:47:14.240 many people as fentanyl but it's still so

00:47:16.500 important because it could turn into

00:47:18.300 something bigger that it should be 200

00:47:21.080 billion dollars would that be a case

00:47:24.240 where the money showed you the priorities

00:47:26.100 or would it be simply that one had a

00:47:28.640 inexpensive solution and one had only an

00:47:31.820 expensive solution or at least one that

00:47:34.680 was worth pursuing i think in that

00:47:38.600 hypothetical if you had enough money for

00:47:40.420 all of them then that's fine you know

00:47:42.320 right right right right you do all of

00:47:45.040 them for sure because they're all

00:47:46.740 affordable and they're necessary but in

00:47:50.060 that case the amount of money you spent

00:47:52.240 would not be an indication of how much

00:47:53.980 you cared or what its priority would be

00:47:56.460 because it would be equally top priority

00:47:59.400 just one's expensive well but the situation

00:48:03.420 we're talking about are there's problems in

00:48:05.880 all of our major cities and i think

00:48:07.740 everyone probably would agree it is going

00:48:09.500 to be expensive to fix those and that when

00:48:12.220 we're spending huge amounts of money on

00:48:14.860 ukraine which is not our country that you

00:48:19.320 are prioritizing that over those domestic

00:48:21.740 concerns if we weren't short on what we

00:48:23.860 need it domestically then you can certainly

00:48:25.560 make the argument no no hold on hold on

00:48:27.560 you've got a logic gap there okay your

00:48:30.240 your logic gap is this spending more

00:48:32.140 money is de facto end of the story shows

00:48:35.720 that that's more important than that you

00:48:37.360 spend less on what is do you say that

00:48:40.500 that's true in all cases that you can tell

00:48:43.260 for sure that the budget tells you what's

00:48:46.160 the most important i think in situations

00:48:51.400 where you don't have enough money to do

00:48:53.120 absolutely everything then yes that's

00:48:54.580 true

00:48:54.800 well in our current situation we act like

00:48:57.820 we have enough money just by printing it

00:48:59.760 so we're we're in a de facto acting like

00:49:02.580 we don't have a limit

00:49:03.480 okay but i don't know that that's valid

00:49:06.740 right i mean we might be acting that way

00:49:08.400 but i think a lot of people would say

00:49:09.820 that's not really true in terms of we can

00:49:12.780 do that without but in terms of economy

00:49:14.680 but in terms of our conversation it it

00:49:17.720 tells you whether it's a priority or not

00:49:19.720 basically i'm saying we have enough

00:49:21.900 money for those two things and if we're

00:49:25.380 going to short things of money it'll be

00:49:27.580 lower priority things but the things at

00:49:29.960 the very top priority they're all going

00:49:31.500 to get money that none of them are money

00:49:33.560 problems at the top priority as soon as

00:49:36.160 you get into the second tier then yes

00:49:37.960 you're competing for money but at the top

00:49:40.160 priority it's infinite money for all

00:49:42.280 practical purposes

00:49:43.300 but i don't see that happening and i

00:49:45.680 don't see any policies from pence where

00:49:49.140 he's saying here's how i'm going to fix

00:49:50.520 the city problem he says it's important

00:49:52.820 to him but i haven't seen any tangible

00:49:54.300 plan to say here's how that's going to

00:49:55.760 work and here's how much money i'm going

00:49:56.920 to allocate to it but saving the city is

00:49:59.440 something that everybody knows how to do

00:50:01.220 even the people who are destroying the

00:50:03.200 cities they just have to make sure they

00:50:05.080 they're not letting criminals out and

00:50:06.860 cash bail and you know let basically

00:50:09.920 you just have to enforce the law that i

00:50:12.300 literally you could you could get a 12

00:50:14.680 year old and say hey 12 year old i got a

00:50:17.640 problem with these cities there's a lot

00:50:18.800 of criminals what would you do 12 year

00:50:20.760 old what would the 12 year old say um

00:50:23.140 get more police

00:50:24.300 well sure but does does pence say that

00:50:28.640 he's going to fund more police

00:50:29.920 um he was a little i would agree with

00:50:33.820 you that his plan lacked detail but he he

00:50:37.360 he mentioned specifically the problems

00:50:39.680 you know the cash bail and stuff like

00:50:42.040 that so everybody sees the same problems

00:50:44.220 even if he didn't list them you would

00:50:46.040 know that he knew them because you know

00:50:47.500 them and everybody knows them so um but a

00:50:51.420 specific plan um i don't remember hearing

00:50:54.580 it but yeah so my my argument is really

00:50:57.120 that you know it's not because pence said

00:50:59.220 the cities aren't my concern i think it

00:51:02.340 was more that when he said that ukraine's

00:51:04.840 tanks are not my concern he was lying

00:51:06.500 uh that the tanks are not his concern

00:51:11.540 why would that be a lie because i think

00:51:15.500 his argument to tucker was in my opinion

00:51:18.200 what he meant to say or what he was

00:51:19.480 trying to say was the ukraine tanks are

00:51:21.880 not my concern and i don't think that's

00:51:23.800 true because i think he very clearly said

00:51:25.740 i want to send more money and more tanks

00:51:27.780 over to ukraine yeah we don't know what

00:51:30.560 he meant uh you know exactly but we do

00:51:34.660 know that it wasn't about not caring

00:51:36.740 about cities right but i i still think

00:51:40.280 that he essentially he was lying when he

00:51:43.220 said that because i think not not because

00:51:45.700 he specifically said i don't care about

00:51:47.620 cities but because his plans and his

00:51:50.420 priorities he has shown i really want to

00:51:52.960 spend keep spending lots of money over in

00:51:54.640 ukraine and keep that war going and that

00:51:57.520 means he's not focusing on the domestic

00:51:59.660 thing as the top thing to spend on i

00:52:02.500 mean i think to really show that you

00:52:04.380 care most about cities would be to say

00:52:06.700 i don't want to spend all this money

00:52:08.240 over in ukraine i want to bring that

00:52:09.780 conflict to an end i'll give you that

00:52:11.360 i want to yeah let's let's agree on

00:52:13.640 that if you're agree if what you're

00:52:15.340 saying is he's not showing you sufficient

00:52:18.020 interest in the way he's communicating

00:52:20.340 with the cities i'll agree with that

00:52:21.800 but i'm just saying that specific

00:52:23.760 sentence was misleading all right i'll

00:52:26.560 take the win all right you got it all

00:52:32.100 right thanks thanks

00:52:32.800 best way the best way to win a debate

00:52:38.660 is to change the terms so you should

00:52:42.760 learn from owen so i wanted to debate

00:52:45.400 whether that sentence was true he moved

00:52:47.900 me to debate whether the issue you know

00:52:50.280 should have more attention i agreed with

00:52:52.620 him because that was never my original

00:52:54.040 thing and then he took the win now

00:52:56.240 that's some good debating owen you're a

00:52:58.060 genius all right

00:52:59.840 sticks clips that's interesting let's let's

00:53:05.980 talk to sticks clips all right you're

00:53:08.980 being added as a speaker and as soon as

00:53:12.040 your microphone is um on you know it's on

00:53:16.040 it's on thank you scott scott adams yes hi what

00:53:19.260 do you what would you like to say i would

00:53:21.440 like to say two things um first thing i

00:53:24.180 thought your comic about like um just get

00:53:26.740 10 cents and buy a real computer and it

00:53:29.920 was a reference to it like a unis computer

00:53:31.880 um that was a very very good comic and

00:53:36.060 it's probably went viral um like so many

00:53:40.280 times not in this decade but like previously

00:53:43.560 for sure yes he's mentioning a unix comic i did

00:53:48.100 probably 30 years ago it was a long time

00:53:51.640 years it was a long time ago yeah yeah that's

00:53:54.880 how time flies for sure that must have been a

00:53:56.840 good one all right did you have a comment

00:53:58.160 about the uh fake news uh well yeah i think

00:54:01.860 the news is fake so it's almost it's it's

00:54:06.020 almost it almost writes itself but um i will

00:54:09.380 say one thing in partying and i will leave

00:54:11.660 the space i just want to i just want to say

00:54:14.500 scott um sorry mr adams um fix hex and

00:54:19.900 hammer has no beef with you and i would

00:54:23.160 appreciate it if maybe you consider

00:54:25.500 unblocking him i will leave the space now

00:54:27.860 well i unblocked him a long time ago okay

00:54:31.340 good we are good we are so we are so back

00:54:34.320 the the uh yeah the uh all right thanks

00:54:37.980 for the call yeah no um the past is the

00:54:41.260 past we're we're only doing the future now

00:54:44.180 we're we're solidly entrenched in in the

00:54:49.160 future so uh clank to sticks and hammer and

00:54:53.620 uh all right i think uh i think we've said

00:54:57.660 what we needed to say today spaces so i'm

00:55:00.120 going to end this and uh thanks for

00:55:02.020 contributing thanks for coming and thanks

00:55:04.760 to everybody who made me a one million

00:55:07.800 follower twitter account it's a big day for

00:55:11.600 me and i appreciate all of you

00:55:13.600 all right spaces is over and youtube um

00:55:21.600 you got ripped now owen you're you're

00:55:25.520 fucking genius you've got the youtube

00:55:28.080 people thinking that you won the argument

00:55:30.000 that wasn't the argument so you you won an

00:55:33.900 adjacent argument because i agreed with you

00:55:37.080 from the start the argument he agreed the

00:55:40.200 argument he won was something i always

00:55:43.300 agreed with from the start you know me

00:55:46.160 right if you've been watching for a while

00:55:48.300 you don't think i think that there should

00:55:50.220 be more attention on fentanyl is there

00:55:53.040 anybody who is there anybody here who

00:55:54.720 thinks that i think we should put more

00:55:57.460 war more money into ukraine and maybe

00:56:00.300 starve the the fentanyl and the the cities

00:56:02.700 nobody thinks that no of course i think

00:56:06.960 that pence and every other candidate should

00:56:09.560 be talking more about fentanyl and less

00:56:11.540 about ukraine of course but was that but

00:56:14.880 was that the point no the point was that

00:56:19.260 pence say he's not concerned about cities that

00:56:22.720 was that now he might not be concerned

00:56:24.920 enough he may not be putting enough

00:56:27.460 money in it i wouldn't argue those

00:56:29.080 points i'm just arguing what he said in

00:56:32.320 one in one instance that's it now

00:56:35.520 likewise imagine if you will that any of

00:56:38.940 these stories were real can you imagine

00:56:42.060 that you know there wouldn't be anybody

00:56:44.520 who would say you know pence seems like a

00:56:47.220 nice guy but behind closed doors he says

00:56:50.840 he doesn't give a rat's ass about fentanyl

00:56:53.200 and the cities no he's not like that

00:56:57.080 behind closed doors i mean i suppose i

00:57:00.980 could be surprised by anything i'm not

00:57:02.580 there can't read his mind but i feel like

00:57:06.300 if people have you know some horrible

00:57:10.020 views and they're a certain age somebody's

00:57:14.300 heard them before am i right yeah you

00:57:18.200 don't you don't say something that's

00:57:19.560 allegedly horrible as a public person and

00:57:22.620 that nobody's ever found you talking like

00:57:24.700 that before there's no record where you've

00:57:27.800 ever done that before well that should be

00:57:31.240 that should be your you know your red flag

00:57:34.200 that it's fake news

00:57:35.280 he came out with his priority and you

00:57:42.340 don't think it's a priority so here's

00:57:44.740 something that people do routinely poorly

00:57:47.560 and this is what tucker does that's

00:57:50.720 completely illogical you're ready

00:57:53.860 tucker says a fentanyl is more important

00:57:58.180 because more people are dying and russia has

00:58:01.480 killed nobody so therefore fentanyl is more

00:58:04.460 important

00:58:04.900 everybody agree with that fentanyl has killed

00:58:10.160 lots of people russia's killed nobody

00:58:12.820 therefore fentanyl is more important to

00:58:15.860 deal with than russia that is illogical

00:58:19.360 let me tell you why because you're never

00:58:25.140 dealing with uh the past risk nobody's

00:58:28.840 trying to fix the past you get that right

00:58:31.440 you can't repair the past so fentanyl has

00:58:35.660 killed more people now you could also

00:58:37.860 reasonably say that in the future it will

00:58:40.840 kill more people as well when you evaluate

00:58:43.600 russia is the only thing you look at the

00:58:45.700 past you don't look at what what we're on

00:58:48.720 the cusp of maybe happening like a nuclear

00:58:51.080 war when you're comparing risks you don't

00:58:54.980 compare the past of something with the

00:58:57.840 potential future of a different thing

00:58:59.860 does that not make sense that you can't

00:59:04.580 compare the past with the future did i is

00:59:07.540 it the first time you're hearing it i hope

00:59:10.460 it's not the first time you're hearing

00:59:11.600 this you can't compare the past with the

00:59:14.140 future especially if it's two different

00:59:16.500 categories the past of fentanyl doesn't

00:59:20.840 tell you anything about the future of

00:59:23.980 russia if the future of russia might be a

00:59:27.240 nuclear war or let's say the end of

00:59:29.840 civilization i don't think it is by the

00:59:32.240 way so that this is not my view i'm just

00:59:34.600 saying if you thought that russia could

00:59:36.820 kill a billion people maybe let's say

00:59:40.420 you thought there was a 10 percent chance

00:59:42.320 that the the russia ukraine thing could

00:59:45.100 kill a billion people either through

00:59:47.160 economic hardship or nuclear war or both

00:59:50.140 so you got a 10 percent chance of losing a

00:59:53.180 billion if you were a rational person how

00:59:55.480 would you how would you compare that to

00:59:58.540 other challenges you do something called an

01:00:01.340 expected value calculation you take the

01:00:04.520 billion people that you might lose you

01:00:06.660 don't know what the odds are but you

01:00:08.760 might and you say well the best guess is

01:00:11.660 there's a 10 percent chance of that so

01:00:13.960 you would multiply 10 percent times 1

01:00:16.260 billion and that would get you 100

01:00:19.140 million people so you're trying to

01:00:22.460 protect 100 million people by funding

01:00:26.540 ukraine this is not my preference it's

01:00:30.020 not my view i'm just giving you a view

01:00:32.340 to show how things are compared so if

01:00:34.900 you believe that a billion people are

01:00:36.400 at risk and if you believe there was a

01:00:38.380 10 percent chance of that billion

01:00:39.720 happening you would value it as a hundred

01:00:41.920 million people what would you value the

01:00:44.720 future of fentanyl as well you'd look at

01:00:47.540 the past and then you'd be wrong because

01:00:49.880 the past doesn't tell you what's going to

01:00:52.560 happen in the future but you'd probably say

01:00:54.580 well let's for example let's say it's the

01:00:57.860 same as it's been 70,000 people a year so

01:01:02.100 70 140 to 10 it takes you a while to get up

01:01:07.660 to 100 million right it takes you a long

01:01:11.100 time to get to 100 million people so if

01:01:14.540 pence is saying that making sure we don't

01:01:16.900 have a 10 percent chance of losing a

01:01:19.000 billion people is more important

01:01:21.500 financially just financially only

01:01:25.060 financially not about how we feel or the

01:01:28.220 you know the human death toll or anything

01:01:29.760 like that but financially if he can save if

01:01:34.100 he can take that risk of a billion people

01:01:35.920 dying from 10 percent to zero that's a

01:01:38.620 better expense at almost any cost at

01:01:43.060 almost any cost that would be a better

01:01:44.800 investment but in order for that to be a

01:01:47.860 better investment and keep in mind you

01:01:49.800 all know that I'm a maniac about fentanyl

01:01:52.540 right I'm a maniac about fentanyl so

01:01:55.700 you're not hearing my opinion you're

01:01:58.280 hearing the proper way to analyze the

01:02:00.260 situation that's all the way then you

01:02:03.060 would take your own estimates and plug

01:02:05.340 them into my model so if you think the the

01:02:08.240 odds of people lost in Russia is zero then

01:02:12.860 then that would be your opinion so you'd

01:02:14.880 say I think it's zero chance of losing

01:02:18.040 people in Ukraine but we're definitely

01:02:21.020 going to lose more people on fentanyl so

01:02:22.680 that's more important that would not be

01:02:25.540 crazy that would just be a different

01:02:27.880 opinion here's what's the only thing

01:02:30.080 that's wrong is putting it what's not

01:02:35.260 wrong is your assumptions because

01:02:37.000 assumptions are kind of just reasonable

01:02:38.800 guesses and nobody can know so you could

01:02:41.440 make a reasonable assumption that's

01:02:43.080 different from my reasonable assumption

01:02:44.760 but here's what you can't do if you want

01:02:47.780 to be a rational person you can't not

01:02:51.060 use the right framework for comparing two

01:02:53.680 things you can't do that you can put it

01:02:56.900 in your own assumptions all day long and

01:02:58.540 I won't argue with them usually but if

01:03:01.520 you if you use the wrong framework I don't

01:03:04.740 even know what to say you can't compare

01:03:07.220 the past of fentanyl with the future of a

01:03:10.780 potential nuclear confrontation or a

01:03:14.580 meltdown of the economy either one all

01:03:17.260 right are we good so when I saw Tucker do

01:03:21.460 exactly that that that's a gotcha question

01:03:24.840 right that's a gotcha when you say more

01:03:28.680 people have died of fentanyl no Russian has

01:03:31.320 killed anybody that is not that's not a

01:03:34.380 logic framework that's a narrative

01:03:37.140 framework that's propaganda he's pushing

01:03:40.840 his preference which I agree with all

01:03:45.060 right so when I say Tucker is giving you

01:03:47.140 propaganda not a logical you know

01:03:50.400 structure for you to make a decision it's

01:03:52.980 total propaganda but it happens to agree

01:03:56.720 with the propaganda I would like to push as

01:03:58.880 well which is that fentanyl is more

01:04:01.960 important than funding Ukraine I by the

01:04:05.480 way I totally agree with Tucker it's

01:04:07.760 just the way he's selling it to you is

01:04:09.940 with a a non-logical structure now I would

01:04:17.100 argue and I think this is this next point

01:04:20.480 is really important if you if you can

01:04:23.280 accept this next point it will help you

01:04:25.960 understand a lot of what you see in my

01:04:29.220 opinion Tucker is brilliant he's

01:04:33.220 brilliant right whether I agree with him

01:04:35.860 or don't agree with him he is brilliant

01:04:38.460 I say the same thing about Obama right

01:04:41.220 Obama you can agree with them or

01:04:43.420 disagree with them but I think he's

01:04:45.460 brilliant Bill Clinton brilliant you know

01:04:49.300 there are a lot of brilliant people that I

01:04:50.600 can disagree with

01:04:51.380 Tucker is brilliant but he's also not a

01:04:56.200 stem guy right I think Tucker Tucker's

01:05:00.840 always come through the communication you

01:05:03.200 know reading writing news kind of world

01:05:07.580 that that's an entire world where you

01:05:10.320 could take geniuses geniuses and put

01:05:13.800 them through that system and they

01:05:15.480 wouldn't know how to do what I just did

01:05:17.020 which is simply compare two things in the

01:05:20.720 logical way it's not obvious how to do

01:05:23.480 that and it's not because I'm magic or

01:05:25.960 smart it's because I took an economics

01:05:29.160 path and I got a degree in business you

01:05:32.060 know MBA and those two things teach you

01:05:35.060 specifically they teach you to make sure

01:05:37.740 you're comparing the right things so I'm

01:05:40.520 literally literally a two degree expert on

01:05:45.880 how to compare things Tucker probably has

01:05:49.480 zero degrees on how to compare things so

01:05:52.240 if he's comparing if he's giving you an

01:05:54.100 argument that's more let's say more

01:05:56.160 narrative more persuasion and less

01:05:58.660 logical structure it's not because he's

01:06:01.380 dumb and it's not because he's necessarily

01:06:04.080 trying to put one over on you it's that

01:06:08.080 no matter how smart you are if you

01:06:10.740 haven't been taught that specific skill

01:06:12.680 there's no reason to imagine you'd have

01:06:14.640 it it's not it doesn't come to you

01:06:17.200 through some godlike channel you have to

01:06:20.780 actually learn it and so I give everybody a

01:06:25.120 pass who has not learned that specific

01:06:27.080 thing it would be it would be like me

01:06:29.040 getting something wrong in science I don't

01:06:33.160 have a science degree so if I get something

01:06:36.180 wrong in science it's not because I'm

01:06:38.020 stupid it's because I don't have a science

01:06:41.320 degree and I wouldn't even feel bad about

01:06:44.060 it so if somebody said to me Scott you got

01:06:46.900 that science-y thing you talked about

01:06:48.580 wrong which they say all the time by the

01:06:50.460 way it's a fairly common criticism and

01:06:52.820 when I hear that I always think the same

01:06:54.240 thing probably you're probably right I'm

01:06:57.780 probably wrong because I don't have any

01:07:00.880 expertise there so and but and the trick

01:07:04.460 or the trap the trick and the trap is to

01:07:07.800 imagine that just because you're bright and

01:07:10.380 you've paid attention to the world that you

01:07:12.620 could somehow know how somebody's discipline

01:07:15.480 works that is sometimes but that's a

01:07:20.340 pretty sketchy assumption that just

01:07:22.280 because you're a bright person you can

01:07:24.460 overrule somebody's you know discipline

01:07:26.460 that they they went to college for yeah

01:07:29.840 it's sort of like when I try to overrule

01:07:31.720 lawyers you probably see me try to do that

01:07:35.300 overrule in the sense that you know I have

01:07:37.480 an opinion that disagrees with a

01:07:39.060 professional successful lawyer I mean you

01:07:43.080 shouldn't take that too seriously should

01:07:45.880 you if my if my legal opinion disagrees with

01:07:48.840 the lawyer we get a bet on I'd probably

01:07:52.820 bet on the lawyer not me so you know

01:07:57.880 every everybody who gets this wrong

01:07:59.600 there's a reason for it there's a reason

01:08:02.720 that journalists don't know how to compare

01:08:05.180 things because they've never learned it's

01:08:08.000 not an accident all right well here's the

01:08:17.360 thing somebody's asking me about

01:08:19.140 Dershowitz versus Dan Abrams when I

01:08:22.000 watched Dan Abrams is clear that he's

01:08:24.240 not giving legal opinions it's clear that

01:08:27.520 he's presenting a narrative first and then

01:08:29.540 he's making his legal opinion fit when

01:08:32.460 Dershowitz gives the legal opinion he's

01:08:34.780 proven to us that he will accept massive

01:08:37.820 social penalty to tell you what is really

01:08:42.680 his opinion

01:08:43.180 all right so Dershowitz has bought he paid

01:08:49.100 for it it was expensive Dershowitz bought

01:08:52.160 his freedom and he bought his credibility

01:08:55.160 he said what's the price what's the price

01:08:58.060 for me to be credible and then he paid it

01:09:00.860 man did he pay it and that you know it meant agreeing with some of Trump's legal stuff he paid the price so if you show me somebody who said what's what's the price of giving you my actual real opinion okay I'll pay that I'll pay that price that is credibility doesn't mean he's right about everything but it does mean he's not saying it just to make you happy Dan Abrams is telling you something to make you happy because that's his job

01:09:29.860 right everybody on that side of the world is making money is making money by telling you what you want to hear so that's not really a lawyer opinion

01:09:40.860 Dan Abrams is filthy rich

01:09:44.500 good for him

01:09:47.140 must have made some money

01:09:48.500 all right

01:09:57.240 this flag didn't hang itself

01:10:00.600 all right

01:10:04.040 well that's all for now
