Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2172 Scott Adams： The News Is Fake But You Can Listen To It While Sipping Real Coffee

00:00:00.000 Da-da-da!

00:00:02.400 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:08.020 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and there's never been a finer time in your life.

00:00:13.180 Would you like to take that experience up to levels that nobody's ever seen before?

00:00:18.420 Sure you do.

00:00:19.120 All you do is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, shells, or a stein, a canteen, jug,

00:00:22.820 or flask, or a vessel of any kind.

00:00:25.540 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:27.280 I like coffee.

00:00:28.060 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day,

00:00:32.600 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:34.340 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:37.580 And it happens now.

00:00:39.120 Go.

00:00:44.100 Now your life is complete.

00:00:49.100 Yeah.

00:00:50.140 You know, if you'd like to be called one in a million,

00:00:54.260 has anybody ever said that about you?

00:00:55.740 You know, you're one in a million.

00:00:59.420 Well, you could be one in a million if you follow me on Twitter,

00:01:02.680 because now I have a million followers.

00:01:05.100 You could be one.

00:01:06.940 One in a million.

00:01:09.120 Sounds better than it is.

00:01:11.540 All right.

00:01:12.140 I've got an idea for an app.

00:01:16.600 But first, I'll tell you that there's a Twitter user called Moritz Krem,

00:01:21.520 who follows AI,

00:01:23.180 and he gave a handy list of which AI models to use for what things.

00:01:28.280 So for Internet tasks, he thinks BARD would be good.

00:01:32.980 BARD.

00:01:34.020 For writing tasks, GPT-4.

00:01:36.600 For coding, code interpreter.

00:01:38.260 For analyzing long PDFs,

00:01:40.700 CLAWD-2, harder reasoning tasks, GPT-4, data analysis, code interpreter, etc.

00:01:46.560 And I said to myself, you know what we really need?

00:01:52.440 We need some kind of app that will tell you what the other apps do,

00:01:57.720 because they're all changing all the time.

00:02:00.820 And let's call it a concierge app.

00:02:05.900 Concierge app.

00:02:06.660 You should have one app that you can say,

00:02:11.020 hey, do something for me.

00:02:13.320 And then that app, like a concierge,

00:02:15.940 would, behind the scenes,

00:02:17.900 go use whichever AI app is the right one.

00:02:21.460 In other words,

00:02:22.980 the app I would like to control all the AIs,

00:02:26.360 it's AI.

00:02:27.800 It's AI.

00:02:28.800 I mean, it would have to have AI as well, probably.

00:02:31.660 So give me a concierge app

00:02:33.620 that has an API connection to all the other apps

00:02:37.360 and set me free.

00:02:40.100 I feel as if Google will have to be that.

00:02:43.960 I feel as if somebody's going to have to consolidate the other apps,

00:02:47.480 because I don't think they're just going to open their APIs.

00:02:50.040 Do you?

00:02:51.020 Do you think everybody's just going to be able to use it?

00:02:54.720 Yeah.

00:02:55.560 Concierge app.

00:02:56.260 That's what I need.

00:02:57.760 Well, there's an update on Threads,

00:02:59.840 that's the meta Facebook competitor to Twitter.

00:03:05.640 Now, of course,

00:03:06.460 they got lots of flashy attention during the launch,

00:03:10.180 because you could bring over your Instagram follows,

00:03:13.460 and that would give you a big head start.

00:03:15.360 But it turns out that it's not doing so well

00:03:19.240 after the first week.

00:03:21.920 Now, daily,

00:03:22.720 I saw this in a tweet by Mario Naufal,

00:03:27.980 that daily active users dropped off pretty hard,

00:03:32.200 38% lower than the first week.

00:03:36.240 Time spent per user went from 20 minutes to five.

00:03:41.020 This was a 75% reduction in four days.

00:03:44.340 During the same period,

00:03:45.300 Twitter remained virtually unchanged.

00:03:47.620 And Instagram took a little bit of a hit,

00:03:52.620 just a little bit.

00:03:54.780 So,

00:03:56.220 this is not looking so good.

00:03:59.360 However,

00:04:00.180 if I could make just one contextual point,

00:04:05.680 we expected,

00:04:07.940 or a lot of people expected,

00:04:09.460 the threads would at least start off with a big solid base

00:04:12.500 and maybe grow from there.

00:04:14.120 But if you think about it,

00:04:15.560 the design of their system guaranteed

00:04:18.960 that it would fall off right away.

00:04:21.520 Am I wrong?

00:04:23.020 By design,

00:04:24.720 it should have fallen off the next week,

00:04:27.300 just like it did.

00:04:28.460 And the reason is,

00:04:29.380 it never started small and grew.

00:04:32.700 It started big,

00:04:34.460 and then people looked at it,

00:04:35.700 and some of them said,

00:04:36.540 eh, not for me.

00:04:38.340 So if you start huge,

00:04:40.140 because you could easily port over your Instagram people,

00:04:43.560 then you're just asking for a drop the next week.

00:04:49.220 Because the people they brought off

00:04:50.700 were not really solid users

00:04:52.280 who were going to stick around.

00:04:54.000 They were just casual tourists.

00:04:56.560 So if you bring over 100 million casual tourists

00:04:59.480 to your product,

00:05:01.920 well,

00:05:02.100 what should you logically expect the next week

00:05:04.320 is going to look like?

00:05:05.700 It's going to look like

00:05:06.800 they were casual tourists

00:05:08.600 and they didn't need to stick around.

00:05:09.900 So I think the Threads trajectory so far

00:05:14.920 is exactly what you should expect.

00:05:18.980 Now,

00:05:19.600 if it's going to succeed,

00:05:21.340 which seems like a pretty big if at this point,

00:05:24.300 what you would expect

00:05:25.500 is that they would have this big launch,

00:05:27.180 it would get a lot of attention,

00:05:28.840 people would say,

00:05:29.940 there's not,

00:05:30.400 my friends aren't here,

00:05:31.620 and then they would go away.

00:05:32.860 But if Threads is going to work,

00:05:36.800 it will have,

00:05:37.640 you know,

00:05:37.920 by now created some base of people

00:05:39.960 who want to be there.

00:05:42.300 And if they want to stay there,

00:05:43.880 then,

00:05:44.280 you know,

00:05:44.480 it could grow from there.

00:05:45.600 But it pretty much had to,

00:05:47.060 the way they launched,

00:05:49.020 largely guaranteed

00:05:50.200 that it would tank the next week.

00:05:52.700 Would you agree with that analysis?

00:05:54.720 That the tanking

00:05:55.860 was baked into the way they designed it.

00:05:59.880 There was no way around it.

00:06:01.060 I mean,

00:06:02.600 I guess they could be optimistic

00:06:03.840 and say,

00:06:04.920 maybe all these people

00:06:06.060 who used Instagram

00:06:06.880 will love our new thing

00:06:08.820 that always existed

00:06:09.840 and they weren't using it.

00:06:11.940 Right?

00:06:12.760 If you were on Instagram

00:06:13.860 and not using Twitter,

00:06:16.180 how much interest

00:06:17.360 did you have in a Twitter clone?

00:06:20.500 If you weren't already satisfied

00:06:22.520 with all your,

00:06:23.420 you know,

00:06:23.940 your small message tweeting needs,

00:06:26.480 you probably never needed them

00:06:28.880 in the first place.

00:06:29.620 And I said this before

00:06:32.080 I brought over

00:06:33.380 all of my Instagram followers,

00:06:35.900 only to learn

00:06:37.020 that 90% of the people

00:06:38.740 I follow on Instagram

00:06:39.720 can't talk.

00:06:41.600 They can't talk.

00:06:43.700 Man,

00:06:43.920 they can take a great picture.

00:06:45.900 They can take a picture

00:06:47.000 like nobody's business.

00:06:48.860 But then they try to do

00:06:50.140 a thread

00:06:50.980 or, you know,

00:06:51.600 like a little message

00:06:52.460 and they use

00:06:53.700 their language skills.

00:06:55.840 It's not so good.

00:06:57.220 It's not so good.

00:06:58.220 Now,

00:06:59.500 mostly the Instagram people

00:07:00.740 are trying to not offend you.

00:07:03.040 Do you know what happens

00:07:03.860 when they write text

00:07:05.000 that doesn't offend you?

00:07:07.380 You don't want to read it.

00:07:10.740 Right?

00:07:11.420 The world is full of text

00:07:12.840 that doesn't offend me.

00:07:13.960 Why would I be attracted to it?

00:07:15.960 I need a little edge.

00:07:17.800 I need to be offended

00:07:18.840 a little bit.

00:07:19.760 Somebody pointed out

00:07:20.700 that Zuckerberg

00:07:22.540 is only posted once

00:07:23.840 on threads

00:07:24.680 in a week

00:07:25.360 and it was a picture

00:07:26.540 of a lake.

00:07:29.780 Now,

00:07:30.000 compare

00:07:30.360 Elon Musk

00:07:32.100 toilet tweeting

00:07:33.920 on Twitter

00:07:34.840 some of the funniest

00:07:36.740 tweets you've ever seen

00:07:37.740 in your life

00:07:38.240 or at the very least

00:07:39.260 they're provocative.

00:07:40.920 Right?

00:07:41.580 And the best Zuckerberg

00:07:43.680 could do

00:07:44.100 is one picture

00:07:44.740 of a lake

00:07:45.340 in a week.

00:07:47.860 So,

00:07:48.820 that tells you

00:07:49.420 how excited he is.

00:07:50.160 But,

00:07:51.160 in his defense,

00:07:53.280 Zuckerberg

00:07:54.200 is probably

00:07:54.840 spending all of his time

00:07:55.980 in the

00:07:56.620 virtual reality world.

00:08:01.040 No,

00:08:01.600 he's not doing that either.

00:08:03.200 Do you know

00:08:03.500 why he's not spending

00:08:04.240 all of his time

00:08:04.820 in the virtual reality world

00:08:06.360 of Meta?

00:08:08.740 Same reason

00:08:09.700 you're not.

00:08:12.520 Nobody wants

00:08:13.300 to be there.

00:08:15.860 Just nobody

00:08:16.700 wants to be there.

00:08:17.640 I have

00:08:20.000 zero interest.

00:08:22.020 Does anybody

00:08:22.480 have interest

00:08:23.080 in the virtual world?

00:08:27.800 Here's how

00:08:28.440 uninterested

00:08:29.120 I am

00:08:29.640 in the virtual world.

00:08:31.300 I hate

00:08:32.080 to sleep.

00:08:34.240 I don't even

00:08:35.100 like to be asleep

00:08:36.160 because when I'm

00:08:38.020 asleep

00:08:38.360 I go to the

00:08:38.920 virtual world.

00:08:40.360 You know,

00:08:40.540 the dream world

00:08:41.320 that doesn't

00:08:42.280 really count.

00:08:43.360 And when I wake

00:08:44.040 up,

00:08:45.160 when I wake

00:08:45.840 up,

00:08:46.180 100%

00:08:46.900 of all the

00:08:47.360 stuff I did

00:08:47.940 in my

00:08:48.280 virtual world

00:08:49.140 isn't worth

00:08:51.180 piss

00:08:51.680 because it

00:08:53.100 wasn't real.

00:08:54.520 It was just

00:08:55.000 a bunch of

00:08:55.700 shit that

00:08:56.320 happened in my

00:08:56.900 brain while I

00:08:57.520 was trying to

00:08:57.940 rest.

00:08:59.200 So that's what

00:08:59.960 the virtual reality

00:09:01.360 feels like.

00:09:02.260 It feels like

00:09:02.920 leaving the real

00:09:03.760 world for

00:09:05.520 something that

00:09:06.100 can never be

00:09:06.700 important and

00:09:07.320 never can be

00:09:07.860 real.

00:09:09.100 I'm just not

00:09:09.900 drawn to it at

00:09:10.620 all.

00:09:11.520 I have to admit

00:09:12.620 there was a point

00:09:13.300 where I was

00:09:13.920 drawn to it,

00:09:15.220 at least mentally.

00:09:16.100 Well,

00:09:17.040 actually enough

00:09:17.580 to actually

00:09:17.980 buy a system.

00:09:19.780 I actually had

00:09:20.360 a virtual reality

00:09:21.160 system until

00:09:22.880 recently.

00:09:23.960 And I

00:09:26.640 thought it

00:09:26.980 was a lot

00:09:27.480 of fun.

00:09:28.740 And then after

00:09:29.640 I'd played a few

00:09:30.460 things that were

00:09:31.000 fun and they

00:09:31.600 gave me a

00:09:32.040 headache and I

00:09:33.560 realized that the

00:09:34.220 entire time that I

00:09:35.040 was doing this

00:09:35.640 thing, I wasn't

00:09:37.120 part of the real

00:09:37.800 world.

00:09:38.820 And then I

00:09:39.220 said, I don't

00:09:40.520 really like that.

00:09:41.440 I'd rather be in

00:09:42.100 the real world.

00:09:43.440 I've got stuff to

00:09:44.180 do.

00:09:45.260 So I don't

00:09:46.020 think the

00:09:46.660 virtual reality

00:09:47.480 thing is going

00:09:48.520 to work.

00:09:49.880 Honestly, that's

00:09:50.800 my current

00:09:51.260 opinion.

00:09:51.740 I would have

00:09:52.060 said it would

00:09:52.440 work a while

00:09:53.660 ago, but it

00:09:54.300 looks like it

00:09:54.920 won't.

00:09:56.020 Now, I could be

00:09:56.820 wrong because there

00:09:57.740 could be some

00:09:58.320 point where if you

00:09:59.740 add AI into the

00:10:00.860 virtual world, you

00:10:02.520 can just go into

00:10:03.220 this world full of

00:10:04.380 magical characters

00:10:05.740 who talk to you.

00:10:06.800 You might even

00:10:07.280 have friends.

00:10:08.600 You might have

00:10:09.060 like a friend in

00:10:09.920 the virtual world

00:10:10.700 who's an AI

00:10:11.260 character who just

00:10:12.040 remembers you.

00:10:12.680 So I could see

00:10:14.520 a certain number

00:10:15.420 of shut-ins and

00:10:16.420 people in

00:10:17.400 wheelchairs and

00:10:18.220 stuff like that

00:10:18.800 might use it and

00:10:19.740 love it.

00:10:20.540 I just don't

00:10:21.200 think that healthy

00:10:22.160 people who have

00:10:23.960 full lives in the

00:10:25.060 real world are

00:10:26.540 going to want to

00:10:26.860 spend too much

00:10:27.700 time in it.

00:10:28.860 Now, I would

00:10:30.340 have said that

00:10:30.800 about gaming as

00:10:31.820 well, and I

00:10:32.840 would have been

00:10:33.200 totally wrong

00:10:33.800 about that.

00:10:34.840 However, what

00:10:37.900 percentage of

00:10:38.460 people are

00:10:39.260 regular gamers,

00:10:40.500 do you think,

00:10:40.900 of the general

00:10:43.320 public?

00:10:44.440 What percent

00:10:45.200 actually sit

00:10:45.960 down and, you

00:10:47.240 know, on a

00:10:47.660 regular basis

00:10:48.420 they gain?

00:10:50.380 You say 25%.

00:10:52.060 25%.

00:10:53.300 If I had to

00:10:54.680 guess, I think

00:10:55.200 it's in the

00:10:55.940 10 to 15%.

00:10:58.820 Somewhere 10%,

00:11:01.360 15, something

00:11:03.140 like that.

00:11:03.760 Yeah, I think

00:11:04.180 that's the upside

00:11:05.000 for virtual reality

00:11:06.360 as well.

00:11:07.360 Somewhere in that

00:11:08.120 category.

00:11:08.680 All right.

00:11:11.060 However, Threads,

00:11:12.860 despite its

00:11:13.720 traffic, has

00:11:15.720 pulled off one

00:11:16.500 of the greatest

00:11:17.020 successes, I

00:11:19.500 don't know, in

00:11:19.900 modern technical

00:11:21.240 world.

00:11:22.520 And I'm impressed.

00:11:24.080 So what Threads

00:11:24.880 did was it got

00:11:25.820 Ron Perlman to

00:11:26.980 leave Twitter.

00:11:29.820 So that's one of

00:11:31.400 the biggest

00:11:31.800 accomplishments of

00:11:32.620 the year, and

00:11:33.320 I'm very grateful

00:11:34.760 to Zuckerberg for

00:11:36.120 creating a product

00:11:37.160 whose only purpose

00:11:38.640 was to remove Ron

00:11:39.860 Perlman from

00:11:40.560 Twitter, and it

00:11:41.680 did it very well.

00:11:42.900 It did it very

00:11:43.480 well.

00:11:44.800 He'll probably be

00:11:45.420 back.

00:11:49.720 I saw a tweet

00:11:50.800 from a user

00:11:51.720 named Drain

00:11:52.780 Bamage, who

00:11:55.680 described Threads

00:11:57.620 after I noted

00:11:58.460 that Ron Perlman

00:11:59.300 left to be on

00:11:59.920 Threads.

00:12:00.860 He described

00:12:01.780 Threads as the

00:12:02.580 island of misfit

00:12:03.580 tweeters.

00:12:04.140 Threads as the

00:12:07.340 island of misfit

00:12:08.540 tweeters.

00:12:14.620 When you think of

00:12:15.560 Ron Perlman, don't

00:12:17.040 you just think of

00:12:17.880 mental problems?

00:12:22.720 Somebody told him

00:12:23.740 that holding the

00:12:24.800 camera right up to

00:12:25.680 his face when he

00:12:26.760 does his videos was

00:12:29.620 a good idea.

00:12:30.520 I think I'm going

00:12:30.980 to hold it right

00:12:31.500 up here.

00:12:31.860 And then I'm

00:12:32.740 going to growl

00:12:34.140 with my ugly

00:12:34.760 face.

00:12:39.060 Take that shit

00:12:41.720 to Threads,

00:12:42.420 will you?

00:12:43.560 Get out of my

00:12:44.700 face with that.

00:12:45.940 Go to the

00:12:46.320 island of misfit

00:12:47.180 tweeters.

00:12:48.620 All right,

00:12:48.840 Wall Street Journal

00:12:49.440 says, good news,

00:12:50.760 paychecks and pay

00:12:52.820 is going up higher

00:12:54.260 than inflation.

00:12:58.160 Paychecks are

00:12:58.780 being raised higher

00:12:59.660 than inflation.

00:13:00.360 Paychecks are

00:13:05.080 going up higher

00:13:05.760 than inflation.

00:13:08.280 What is it that

00:13:09.160 causes inflation?

00:13:11.120 Well, a number of

00:13:11.780 things, the amount

00:13:12.800 of money you print,

00:13:13.680 of course.

00:13:14.840 But isn't one of

00:13:15.740 the things that

00:13:16.260 causes inflation

00:13:17.280 rising wages?

00:13:20.700 Am I wrong

00:13:21.460 about that?

00:13:23.060 Aren't rising

00:13:23.960 wages

00:13:25.600 inflation?

00:13:27.060 inflation?

00:13:27.940 So the good

00:13:29.180 news is that

00:13:30.020 the inflation

00:13:31.280 isn't going up,

00:13:32.960 just all the

00:13:33.700 salaries of the

00:13:34.340 people.

00:13:35.520 And I don't see

00:13:36.200 how that could be

00:13:37.040 any problem down

00:13:37.840 the road.

00:13:40.500 It's like none

00:13:41.320 of the news is

00:13:42.220 clean.

00:13:43.160 It's all, hey,

00:13:44.040 good news!

00:13:45.000 Yeah, it's all

00:13:47.440 like that.

00:13:47.920 It's really good

00:13:48.600 news!

00:13:52.540 Nothing's a

00:13:53.100 clean win

00:13:53.580 anymore.

00:13:56.020 Well, there

00:13:56.660 was on the

00:13:57.620 internet, I saw

00:13:58.160 there was a

00:13:59.080 whiteness

00:13:59.760 studies professor

00:14:00.920 who said that

00:14:03.260 white people

00:14:04.700 who treat all

00:14:05.420 races equally

00:14:06.200 are dangerous.

00:14:08.080 I saw this

00:14:08.580 on a tweet

00:14:09.060 by Amuse

00:14:10.200 on Twitter.

00:14:12.740 That's right,

00:14:13.200 whiteness

00:14:13.620 studies professor

00:14:14.620 says white

00:14:15.300 people who

00:14:15.760 treat all

00:14:16.160 races equally

00:14:16.860 are dangerous.

00:14:18.860 And here

00:14:19.540 she is.

00:14:21.220 Here she is.

00:14:21.860 Now, I had

00:14:23.420 to weigh in

00:14:23.940 and say that

00:14:24.580 I don't judge

00:14:25.380 people by race.

00:14:27.160 I don't think

00:14:27.800 that's right.

00:14:28.900 I judge them

00:14:29.520 by their

00:14:29.820 haircuts.

00:14:30.780 Their haircuts.

00:14:32.480 I'm going to

00:14:33.140 be a little bit

00:14:33.660 harsh on this

00:14:34.520 white studies

00:14:35.860 professor.

00:14:39.200 Haircut.

00:14:40.200 It's not on

00:14:41.200 point.

00:14:42.300 It's just not

00:14:42.940 on point.

00:14:44.200 In fact, if you

00:14:44.920 see a professor

00:14:47.160 with his haircut,

00:14:48.620 I wouldn't take

00:14:49.760 the class.

00:14:51.100 I really

00:14:51.460 wouldn't.

00:14:52.000 I'd like to

00:14:52.640 sign up for

00:14:53.120 almost anything

00:14:53.960 else.

00:14:55.300 I'd take

00:14:55.700 statistics before

00:14:57.360 I'd take a

00:14:58.680 class with a

00:14:59.220 haircut.

00:15:00.240 I'm just

00:15:00.980 saying, think

00:15:02.980 about the

00:15:03.980 whole picture,

00:15:04.960 the big

00:15:05.340 picture.

00:15:07.000 Well, as

00:15:08.200 you know, I

00:15:08.960 have announced

00:15:09.620 that I'm no

00:15:11.420 longer going to

00:15:12.120 care about

00:15:12.860 racial groups

00:15:14.720 or any

00:15:15.780 kind of

00:15:16.040 group.

00:15:17.800 Don't care.

00:15:20.360 So I'm going

00:15:21.400 to see if I'm

00:15:21.900 going to make

00:15:22.140 this stick.

00:15:23.140 It would be

00:15:23.580 my greatest

00:15:24.700 achievement.

00:15:27.440 So you know

00:15:28.120 what I realized

00:15:28.660 today?

00:15:29.300 You know,

00:15:29.540 Dr.

00:15:30.300 King's,

00:15:32.440 let's say,

00:15:33.280 his advice to

00:15:34.500 society was

00:15:36.280 to judge people

00:15:37.160 by the content

00:15:37.900 of their

00:15:38.360 character and

00:15:39.860 not by their

00:15:40.460 race.

00:15:42.080 Now, that

00:15:42.440 sounded pretty

00:15:43.100 good, didn't

00:15:43.620 it?

00:15:44.160 Judge people

00:15:44.820 by the content

00:15:45.640 of their

00:15:46.120 character.

00:15:47.640 Well, it

00:15:48.140 turns out if

00:15:48.760 you do that,

00:15:49.780 you don't get

00:15:50.400 a good outcome.

00:15:53.660 So,

00:15:55.340 turns out that

00:15:57.680 didn't work at

00:15:58.320 all.

00:15:59.160 It didn't work

00:15:59.800 at all.

00:16:00.700 Now, the

00:16:01.240 reason we're

00:16:01.860 moving away

00:16:02.820 from it, and

00:16:03.600 when I say we,

00:16:04.260 I mean, the

00:16:05.040 political left,

00:16:06.260 the reason they're

00:16:07.000 moving away

00:16:07.860 from looking at

00:16:10.240 the content of

00:16:11.000 people's character,

00:16:12.040 which would

00:16:12.740 include their

00:16:13.500 achievement and

00:16:14.680 what they've done

00:16:15.500 to prepare

00:16:16.060 themselves for a

00:16:17.080 good life,

00:16:18.520 it just didn't

00:16:19.140 work.

00:16:19.900 It didn't work

00:16:20.360 at all.

00:16:21.200 So instead,

00:16:21.740 they have to

00:16:22.120 use other

00:16:23.820 things like race

00:16:24.700 and gender and

00:16:25.740 sexual preference

00:16:26.620 and stuff like

00:16:27.380 that.

00:16:31.060 So, we've

00:16:32.720 got this

00:16:33.100 situation where

00:16:34.160 we've

00:16:35.500 completely

00:16:35.940 abandoned the

00:16:36.680 content of

00:16:37.340 the character

00:16:37.860 as a,

00:16:39.500 really as a

00:16:41.220 variable, which

00:16:41.920 is not even a

00:16:42.580 variable anymore.

00:16:43.560 It's more about

00:16:44.260 what you look

00:16:44.860 like.

00:16:46.240 Now, how many

00:16:47.160 of you are

00:16:47.740 buying into

00:16:48.260 that system,

00:16:49.900 the system

00:16:50.360 where we talk

00:16:51.080 about people

00:16:51.660 by their

00:16:52.300 category?

00:16:54.700 See, part of

00:16:55.400 the problem is

00:16:55.900 that we allow

00:16:56.460 ourselves to

00:16:57.380 enter the

00:16:58.440 frame.

00:17:00.380 Because if

00:17:01.020 one side says,

00:17:01.840 hey, we're

00:17:02.260 going to do

00:17:02.500 this thing with

00:17:03.060 racial,

00:17:03.580 preferences or

00:17:05.420 racial

00:17:05.920 consideration,

00:17:07.340 how do you

00:17:08.340 talk about it

00:17:09.100 without entering

00:17:10.000 the frame?

00:17:11.760 See the

00:17:12.120 problem?

00:17:13.400 If somebody

00:17:13.940 says, I'm

00:17:14.740 going to do

00:17:15.200 this thing,

00:17:15.700 it has a

00:17:16.060 racial quality

00:17:18.100 to it, you

00:17:19.300 can't even have

00:17:19.940 the conversation

00:17:20.720 without first

00:17:22.260 entering their

00:17:22.860 frame that

00:17:23.760 you're on one

00:17:24.380 side and

00:17:24.960 there's somebody

00:17:25.360 on the other

00:17:25.760 side.

00:17:27.360 Why must I

00:17:28.340 do that?

00:17:28.860 I reject that

00:17:29.540 now.

00:17:29.780 I reject

00:17:30.860 that I'm

00:17:31.240 even going

00:17:31.600 to be in

00:17:31.840 that

00:17:32.020 conversation.

00:17:33.660 So here's

00:17:34.100 my new,

00:17:35.620 and I

00:17:36.080 haven't really

00:17:36.540 modeled this

00:17:37.420 yet, so I

00:17:38.000 don't know if

00:17:38.320 this is going

00:17:38.640 to work yet.

00:17:39.080 I'm going to

00:17:39.300 try it.

00:17:40.260 From now on,

00:17:41.160 if the

00:17:41.420 conversation is

00:17:42.240 blah, blah,

00:17:42.780 blah, something

00:17:43.300 about race,

00:17:44.340 I just take a

00:17:44.980 pass.

00:17:46.500 Okay.

00:17:47.340 I'm not really

00:17:48.140 in the world

00:17:48.800 where I judge

00:17:49.600 people by their

00:17:50.300 race.

00:17:51.340 So this is a

00:17:52.200 conversation for

00:17:52.900 you to have

00:17:53.320 with yourself.

00:17:54.000 If you'd

00:17:55.700 like me to

00:17:56.140 be involved

00:17:56.640 in your

00:17:56.980 conversation,

00:17:58.280 I'd be happy

00:17:59.020 to talk about

00:17:59.580 individuals.

00:18:00.980 If there are

00:18:01.360 any individuals

00:18:02.340 who feel like

00:18:03.060 they're being

00:18:03.380 held back,

00:18:04.660 I could give

00:18:05.200 them some

00:18:05.620 advice.

00:18:07.560 How to

00:18:08.180 not be

00:18:08.580 held back.

00:18:09.460 You know,

00:18:09.640 develop your

00:18:10.160 talent stack

00:18:11.000 and stay

00:18:11.980 out of

00:18:12.220 trouble.

00:18:12.880 You know,

00:18:13.140 easy stuff.

00:18:14.740 So from

00:18:15.620 now on,

00:18:16.080 it's just

00:18:16.440 individuals.

00:18:18.340 So 100%

00:18:19.520 of all the

00:18:20.220 stories and

00:18:20.900 things about

00:18:21.580 a group is

00:18:22.280 a group and

00:18:22.860 this group is

00:18:23.560 bad and

00:18:23.980 this group

00:18:24.480 to this

00:18:24.920 group.

00:18:25.560 I don't

00:18:25.780 care.

00:18:27.020 I just

00:18:27.860 don't even

00:18:28.220 care what

00:18:28.560 group you're

00:18:29.000 in.

00:18:29.720 I'm just

00:18:30.240 not going

00:18:30.540 to be

00:18:30.700 part of

00:18:30.940 that

00:18:31.160 conversation.

00:18:32.540 But I'm

00:18:33.240 going to

00:18:33.440 cover it

00:18:33.860 in the

00:18:34.120 news just

00:18:35.080 to show

00:18:35.480 you all

00:18:35.820 the idiots

00:18:36.360 who are.

00:18:38.000 Fair enough?

00:18:38.840 We're just

00:18:39.340 going to mock

00:18:39.840 them for

00:18:41.060 being race

00:18:42.100 obsessed.

00:18:43.360 I'm not

00:18:43.780 going to say

00:18:44.300 they're right

00:18:44.760 or wrong.

00:18:45.200 They're just

00:18:45.480 silly.

00:18:46.060 No,

00:18:46.360 they're just

00:18:47.020 mockery.

00:18:48.340 They're fodder

00:18:48.920 for mockery

00:18:49.720 and our

00:18:50.500 enjoyment.

00:18:51.320 So let's

00:18:51.640 use them

00:18:51.920 that way.

00:18:52.260 Well, how

00:18:55.020 much assault

00:18:55.840 are we

00:18:56.460 getting on

00:18:56.880 ESG and

00:18:57.680 DEI?

00:18:58.760 There's an

00:18:59.240 opinion piece

00:18:59.860 today in the

00:19:00.280 Wall Street

00:19:00.600 Journal about

00:19:02.200 those two

00:19:02.760 things from

00:19:04.340 Alicia Finley.

00:19:06.600 And let me

00:19:07.200 read two

00:19:08.800 criticisms that

00:19:10.480 I'm not sure

00:19:11.140 you would have

00:19:11.560 seen a year

00:19:12.140 ago.

00:19:13.620 Ask me if

00:19:14.460 somebody would

00:19:14.960 have said

00:19:15.200 this out

00:19:16.220 loud in a

00:19:17.000 major opinion

00:19:17.580 piece one

00:19:18.560 year ago.

00:19:19.000 So Alicia

00:19:21.220 Finley writes,

00:19:22.080 For years

00:19:22.500 America's

00:19:23.200 political class

00:19:24.240 has lamented

00:19:25.500 that too

00:19:26.280 many college

00:19:26.820 grads are

00:19:27.420 working in

00:19:28.040 low-paying

00:19:28.620 jobs that

00:19:29.760 don't require

00:19:30.380 post-secondary

00:19:31.240 degrees.

00:19:32.340 The diversity,

00:19:32.980 equity,

00:19:33.300 and inclusion

00:19:33.640 in environmental,

00:19:34.480 social, and

00:19:34.920 governance

00:19:35.260 industries,

00:19:36.300 DEI and

00:19:37.120 ESG

00:19:37.840 respectively,

00:19:38.900 are solving

00:19:39.740 for this

00:19:40.120 problem while

00:19:42.180 creating many

00:19:42.900 others.

00:19:44.560 So it's not

00:19:45.340 that DEI and

00:19:46.460 ESG solve

00:19:47.260 problems.

00:19:48.480 They solve

00:19:49.040 problems by

00:19:50.020 creating other

00:19:51.280 ones.

00:19:51.940 Now in this

00:19:52.420 context, the

00:19:53.240 problem solved

00:19:54.140 is that somebody

00:19:55.560 is getting a

00:19:56.120 job not

00:19:57.140 serving food,

00:19:58.520 which is a

00:19:59.820 perfectly respectable

00:20:00.780 job, but

00:20:01.940 rather they also

00:20:02.700 can get jobs

00:20:03.600 now in the

00:20:05.080 DEI and

00:20:05.960 ESG field.

00:20:07.340 So people who

00:20:08.320 might have been

00:20:08.760 your waiter are

00:20:10.620 now running

00:20:11.120 your company.

00:20:16.360 Right?

00:20:17.260 Because if

00:20:18.300 you're the

00:20:18.640 CEO and

00:20:19.200 you don't

00:20:19.560 do what

00:20:19.940 the DEI

00:20:20.940 and ESG

00:20:21.600 people tell

00:20:22.180 you you

00:20:22.460 got to

00:20:22.760 do, you

00:20:24.060 know, you

00:20:24.320 could have

00:20:24.620 some trouble.

00:20:26.200 So we

00:20:27.480 took baristas

00:20:28.600 and servers

00:20:30.020 from restaurants

00:20:31.060 and turned

00:20:32.960 them into

00:20:33.400 DEI and ESG

00:20:34.580 professionals.

00:20:35.740 So now

00:20:36.480 that your

00:20:36.800 waiter is

00:20:37.280 running your

00:20:37.700 company.

00:20:41.140 Now, I'm

00:20:42.520 of course using

00:20:43.500 hyperbole, but

00:20:44.660 that is actually

00:20:45.420 what this

00:20:45.840 opinion piece

00:20:47.400 is suggesting,

00:20:49.660 that, you

00:20:50.700 know, there's

00:20:51.080 some connection

00:20:51.620 between the

00:20:52.220 service industry

00:20:53.100 and ESG and

00:20:54.640 DEI.

00:20:55.100 I don't buy

00:20:55.660 that connection.

00:20:56.880 There's not so

00:20:57.680 many people in

00:20:58.380 DEI and ESG

00:20:59.340 that it's taking a

00:21:00.640 bite out of the

00:21:01.140 service industry.

00:21:02.140 But it's a funny

00:21:02.860 comparison, right?

00:21:04.480 So what is ESG

00:21:05.680 and DEI good for?

00:21:07.400 For mocking.

00:21:09.060 For mocking.

00:21:09.680 So this is perfect.

00:21:10.380 So it doesn't

00:21:11.560 matter that it's

00:21:12.040 real, you know,

00:21:13.120 that that comparison

00:21:14.420 of servers to

00:21:15.600 ESG, that's not

00:21:17.040 like a real

00:21:17.640 comparison, but

00:21:18.680 it's fun mockery.

00:21:20.060 And that's all

00:21:20.860 it's good for.

00:21:21.900 That's the only

00:21:22.780 thing ESG and

00:21:23.620 DEI are good

00:21:24.200 for, just our

00:21:25.020 jokes.

00:21:26.020 Because anybody

00:21:26.800 who's doing it at

00:21:27.480 this point is

00:21:28.180 simply just a

00:21:28.900 racist.

00:21:31.280 We don't have

00:21:32.340 to, we don't

00:21:32.720 have to, you

00:21:34.180 know, soften

00:21:36.300 our words.

00:21:36.940 If you're

00:21:38.120 involved in

00:21:38.860 any way in

00:21:39.780 promoting ESG

00:21:40.560 and DEI, you're

00:21:41.500 just a flat-out

00:21:42.300 racist.

00:21:44.860 And it doesn't

00:21:45.540 matter what

00:21:45.900 group you're in.

00:21:46.720 Again, it has

00:21:47.420 nothing to do

00:21:48.000 with what group

00:21:48.620 you're in.

00:21:49.080 As an individual,

00:21:50.620 I would judge

00:21:51.780 you to be a

00:21:52.240 racist.

00:21:53.480 And I would

00:21:53.860 try to stay

00:21:54.340 away from you

00:21:54.840 if I could,

00:21:55.820 no matter what

00:21:57.220 race you were,

00:21:57.840 because that's

00:21:58.200 not the important

00:21:58.800 part.

00:21:59.540 The important

00:21:59.920 part is, if

00:22:01.180 the content of

00:22:01.900 your character

00:22:02.520 drove you to be

00:22:03.880 an ESG or

00:22:04.720 DEI professional,

00:22:05.720 sorry about

00:22:07.520 your character,

00:22:09.240 sorry, your

00:22:10.280 character needs

00:22:10.960 a little work.

00:22:13.660 All right,

00:22:14.620 and as I

00:22:15.800 said, the

00:22:16.180 reasoning is

00:22:17.260 because black

00:22:19.400 people are

00:22:20.360 successful all

00:22:21.820 over the place.

00:22:24.280 I mean, the

00:22:24.700 question of can

00:22:25.500 you be black

00:22:26.240 and successful,

00:22:27.800 asked and

00:22:28.360 answered, yes.

00:22:30.740 Yes.

00:22:31.580 That's the end

00:22:32.260 of the conversation.

00:22:34.140 Right?

00:22:34.540 Everything else

00:22:36.200 is just an

00:22:36.900 annoyance or

00:22:38.020 something to

00:22:38.620 mock.

00:22:39.460 As long as

00:22:40.040 everybody has

00:22:40.720 some path that

00:22:42.300 works for

00:22:42.840 everybody, I

00:22:44.140 mean, basically

00:22:44.620 everybody who

00:22:45.280 does the same

00:22:45.820 stuff gets a

00:22:46.520 good result.

00:22:47.680 Almost everybody.

00:22:49.580 Stay out of

00:22:50.140 jail, stay off

00:22:50.880 drugs, don't get

00:22:52.360 married until

00:22:53.020 you're a little

00:22:53.960 bit more

00:22:54.340 established, get

00:22:56.120 a job, build

00:22:56.860 some skills.

00:22:58.060 It's worked for

00:22:58.700 100% of people.

00:23:00.920 So pretending

00:23:01.600 that doesn't

00:23:03.460 work anymore

00:23:04.200 is just, I'm

00:23:05.580 just not going

00:23:06.200 to pretend

00:23:06.560 anymore.

00:23:07.480 I can't

00:23:08.100 pretend that

00:23:09.500 doing all the

00:23:10.220 right things

00:23:10.780 doesn't work.

00:23:12.160 And that's

00:23:12.780 what a lot of

00:23:13.440 the DEI and

00:23:14.200 ESG stuff, it

00:23:15.800 asks you to

00:23:16.560 pretend that

00:23:18.080 doing the

00:23:18.660 obvious, easy,

00:23:20.040 simple, direct,

00:23:21.420 clear things that

00:23:22.700 have worked for

00:23:23.280 every person since

00:23:24.360 the beginning of

00:23:25.000 time just don't

00:23:26.360 work for one

00:23:26.880 group.

00:23:28.140 What could be

00:23:28.740 more racist than

00:23:29.540 that?

00:23:31.060 That is the

00:23:32.400 most racist

00:23:33.040 thing you could

00:23:33.640 ever come up

00:23:34.280 with.

00:23:34.960 You could think

00:23:35.680 all day long to

00:23:36.640 try to come up

00:23:37.200 with something

00:23:37.560 more racist, but

00:23:39.160 you couldn't.

00:23:40.640 That's like

00:23:41.200 peak.

00:23:42.460 Anyway, here's

00:23:46.360 a good example

00:23:47.180 of, change the

00:23:48.540 subject a little

00:23:49.120 bit here, of

00:23:50.680 word salad.

00:23:51.540 I like to give

00:23:52.200 you examples of

00:23:53.220 where I trigger

00:23:54.020 people into word

00:23:54.840 salad, because

00:23:56.240 every time you

00:23:56.780 see one, it

00:23:57.900 makes it a little

00:23:58.480 easier to

00:23:59.240 identify the

00:23:59.860 next one.

00:24:00.800 Now, the word

00:24:01.380 salad can pop

00:24:02.660 up in a variety

00:24:03.440 of places, but

00:24:05.080 my context is

00:24:07.000 that if somebody

00:24:08.560 makes a point

00:24:09.840 in public that

00:24:12.700 you rip apart

00:24:13.960 and show them

00:24:15.040 to be wrong,

00:24:16.980 they don't

00:24:17.780 usually change

00:24:18.500 their mind and

00:24:18.940 say, well,

00:24:19.280 that's a good

00:24:19.680 point.

00:24:20.140 Sometimes they

00:24:20.700 do, if it's a

00:24:21.820 weakly held

00:24:22.400 opinion.

00:24:23.180 But if it's a

00:24:23.840 strongly held

00:24:24.420 opinion, they

00:24:25.780 tend to double

00:24:27.420 down and say

00:24:28.660 words that

00:24:30.820 no longer

00:24:31.600 make sense,

00:24:32.640 but they're

00:24:33.240 sure they

00:24:33.640 do.

00:24:34.740 You want to

00:24:35.100 see an

00:24:35.320 example?

00:24:36.460 All right.

00:24:37.700 So there was

00:24:38.860 a title and

00:24:39.720 an article that

00:24:41.120 said that

00:24:41.840 RFK Jr., this

00:24:45.560 is the exact

00:24:46.060 title, RFK Jr.

00:24:47.160 suggested COVID

00:24:48.100 is a Chinese

00:24:48.840 bioweapon

00:24:49.620 ethnically targeted

00:24:51.060 to attack

00:24:51.760 Caucasians and

00:24:52.680 black people and

00:24:53.900 to spare

00:24:54.380 Ashkenazi Jews

00:24:56.140 and Chinese

00:24:56.740 people.

00:24:57.540 All right.

00:24:57.680 So that was a

00:24:58.300 headline attacking

00:24:59.620 RFK Jr.

00:25:00.920 and saying that

00:25:01.440 he suggested

00:25:02.600 COVID is a

00:25:04.080 Chinese bioweapon.

00:25:05.780 I tweeted in

00:25:07.020 response to that

00:25:07.980 because that was

00:25:09.080 misleading.

00:25:09.980 I said, instead

00:25:10.740 of saying that

00:25:11.360 he suggested

00:25:12.600 COVID is a

00:25:13.920 Chinese bioweapon,

00:25:15.780 how about

00:25:16.360 suggested it

00:25:17.280 might be?

00:25:18.720 Or suggested

00:25:19.720 it looks like

00:25:20.340 it could be?

00:25:21.900 Would you have

00:25:22.680 any problem if

00:25:23.460 he said, you

00:25:24.420 know, it looks

00:25:25.260 like it could

00:25:25.800 be?

00:25:27.860 Who would have

00:25:28.840 a problem with

00:25:29.380 that?

00:25:30.760 Because we know

00:25:31.520 it came from

00:25:31.960 the lab, and

00:25:32.660 they weren't

00:25:33.320 putting it in

00:25:33.800 the lab just

00:25:34.380 for fun.

00:25:36.120 They weren't

00:25:36.760 putting it in

00:25:37.220 the lab to

00:25:37.660 make it safer.

00:25:39.080 No, they were

00:25:39.520 putting it in

00:25:40.040 the lab to

00:25:41.280 make it a

00:25:41.740 weapon.

00:25:42.520 And if you

00:25:43.000 had a choice

00:25:43.660 of making a

00:25:45.060 weapon that

00:25:45.520 would kill

00:25:45.960 one ethnicity

00:25:47.020 more than

00:25:47.620 another, well,

00:25:48.880 that would be

00:25:49.260 the height of

00:25:49.820 evil.

00:25:50.900 It's hard to

00:25:51.500 imagine a more

00:25:52.100 evil thing that

00:25:52.880 you could do.

00:25:53.360 But in the

00:25:54.860 context of

00:25:56.220 war, yeah, I

00:25:57.880 can imagine

00:25:58.420 it.

00:25:59.600 I can imagine

00:26:00.680 China coming up

00:26:02.320 with a virus if

00:26:03.580 they could.

00:26:04.340 I'm not saying

00:26:05.000 this is it.

00:26:05.920 But if they

00:26:06.440 could, you

00:26:08.140 would imagine

00:26:08.660 that would be a

00:26:09.300 variable they

00:26:09.820 would care about.

00:26:11.200 Right?

00:26:11.600 Because if it

00:26:12.160 gets out there,

00:26:13.580 well, they're

00:26:14.140 relatively protected.

00:26:15.780 Now, I don't

00:26:16.220 think that the

00:26:16.960 COVID was

00:26:19.460 necessarily

00:26:20.060 demonstrated to

00:26:21.080 target ethnicities.

00:26:22.260 I believe that

00:26:24.280 black Americans

00:26:25.100 had a tough

00:26:25.640 time with

00:26:26.080 COVID, but

00:26:27.380 they also have

00:26:27.980 low vitamin

00:26:28.540 D.

00:26:30.160 To me, the

00:26:31.000 correlation that

00:26:31.740 looks pretty

00:26:32.340 obvious is that

00:26:33.280 wherever there

00:26:33.760 was low vitamin

00:26:34.420 D, there were

00:26:35.040 problems with

00:26:35.940 COVID.

00:26:37.540 It's just that

00:26:38.380 correlation is

00:26:39.040 pretty clear.

00:26:40.100 But of course,

00:26:40.880 bad health

00:26:41.560 probably gives

00:26:42.700 you bad vitamin

00:26:43.800 D, so there's a

00:26:44.800 causation problem

00:26:45.620 there.

00:26:46.100 But the

00:26:46.420 correlation is

00:26:47.080 strong.

00:26:48.440 And here's,

00:26:50.480 all right, so

00:26:51.020 getting back to

00:26:51.560 my word salad.

00:26:52.260 So the

00:26:53.240 headline says

00:26:54.160 that RFK

00:26:54.680 suggested COVID

00:26:56.020 is, I said

00:26:57.180 it would be

00:26:57.780 better to say

00:26:58.480 suggested it

00:26:59.560 might be.

00:27:00.800 Because everybody

00:27:01.400 would agree with

00:27:02.700 suggested it

00:27:03.440 might be,

00:27:04.780 because all you

00:27:05.480 have to do is

00:27:05.920 prove that it

00:27:06.540 looks like it

00:27:07.360 had disparate

00:27:08.420 outcomes.

00:27:09.980 But if you

00:27:10.640 say suggested

00:27:11.680 it is, then

00:27:13.420 the way you

00:27:13.820 hear it, even

00:27:14.720 though the

00:27:14.980 words are

00:27:15.300 kind of similar

00:27:15.940 in meaning,

00:27:16.940 the way you

00:27:17.420 hear it is he

00:27:18.100 thinks it's

00:27:18.660 true.

00:27:20.080 That's really

00:27:20.780 different.

00:27:21.220 than

00:27:22.420 suggests it

00:27:23.180 might be.

00:27:24.820 Right.

00:27:25.600 So a

00:27:26.400 critic came

00:27:27.680 into my

00:27:28.340 comment and

00:27:28.980 said, so

00:27:29.940 this is before

00:27:30.740 the word

00:27:31.100 is held,

00:27:31.980 disingenuously

00:27:32.780 suggesting a

00:27:33.740 falsehood,

00:27:34.780 talk about

00:27:35.260 RFK,

00:27:36.300 disingenuously

00:27:37.120 suggesting a

00:27:38.200 falsehood for

00:27:39.320 the malicious

00:27:39.880 intent of

00:27:40.620 misleading a

00:27:41.340 particular weak

00:27:42.000 minded segment of

00:27:42.740 the populace is

00:27:44.000 indeed dangerous.

00:27:44.900 So then I

00:27:47.300 ask this, are

00:27:47.920 you opposed to

00:27:48.600 all forms of

00:27:49.320 inquiry or

00:27:50.180 only this one?

00:27:51.420 Now this is the

00:27:52.340 trigger for the

00:27:52.920 cognitive dissonance.

00:27:55.060 Because my

00:27:55.940 point is, asking

00:27:57.500 questions isn't a

00:27:58.480 problem, noticing

00:28:00.200 correlations is not

00:28:01.540 a problem.

00:28:02.840 Pointing out that

00:28:03.680 there's a

00:28:04.060 correlation and

00:28:04.820 you noticed it

00:28:05.560 is not a

00:28:06.500 problem.

00:28:07.560 Asking if maybe

00:28:08.540 we should dig

00:28:09.120 into this

00:28:09.700 correlation that

00:28:11.620 you noticed

00:28:12.220 is not a

00:28:13.380 problem.

00:28:14.240 In fact, it

00:28:15.360 would be basic

00:28:16.060 to the

00:28:16.440 scientific process,

00:28:18.940 right?

00:28:19.480 Somebody has a

00:28:20.320 question, seems

00:28:21.600 like a good

00:28:22.100 question, there's

00:28:22.860 a correlation,

00:28:23.740 look into it.

00:28:24.760 Scientific process.

00:28:27.160 So once I

00:28:27.920 pointed out that

00:28:28.840 asking questions

00:28:30.080 and looking at

00:28:31.080 correlations, I

00:28:33.160 said it cleverly,

00:28:34.000 are you opposed

00:28:34.500 to all forms of

00:28:35.220 inquiry or only

00:28:36.560 this one?

00:28:37.500 Listen to the

00:28:38.360 next response,

00:28:39.680 which I expected

00:28:41.120 to be word

00:28:41.720 salad.

00:28:42.900 Now you tell

00:28:43.420 me if this

00:28:43.880 sounds like

00:28:44.320 word salad to

00:28:45.020 you.

00:28:46.440 No.

00:28:47.540 Inquiry is the

00:28:48.320 first step in

00:28:48.940 the scientific

00:28:49.460 method.

00:28:50.080 Okay, so far

00:28:51.220 so good.

00:28:51.760 We're on the

00:28:52.100 same page.

00:28:53.500 I'm opposed to

00:28:54.300 suggesting malicious

00:28:55.080 intent over

00:28:55.860 inflammatory rhetoric

00:28:57.080 designed to

00:28:58.040 galvanize smooth

00:28:58.940 brain distrust

00:28:59.700 as a tool.

00:29:00.800 That's far more

00:29:01.660 effective than

00:29:02.280 unproven genetic

00:29:03.200 targeting espoused

00:29:04.120 by this

00:29:04.500 pseudo-intellectual.

00:29:06.520 What?

00:29:08.920 What?

00:29:09.480 What?

00:29:12.220 I don't

00:29:12.980 understand any

00:29:13.640 of those words.

00:29:14.820 I mean, I know

00:29:15.260 what the words

00:29:15.760 mean, but when

00:29:17.160 they're put

00:29:17.460 together, do

00:29:18.020 they make any

00:29:18.540 sense?

00:29:19.580 Now, of course,

00:29:20.340 he defended it

00:29:21.440 and said, I'm

00:29:22.000 dumb, because

00:29:22.640 anybody would

00:29:23.240 understand what

00:29:23.900 he said.

00:29:24.220 But do you

00:29:27.960 see this as

00:29:28.520 word salad?

00:29:29.320 How many

00:29:29.760 would agree

00:29:30.360 that that

00:29:33.080 was a

00:29:33.660 cognitive

00:29:34.800 dissonance

00:29:35.640 trigger

00:29:36.760 that clearly

00:29:38.260 created word

00:29:39.060 salad?

00:29:40.260 You can see

00:29:40.980 it, right?

00:29:41.980 Once you see a

00:29:42.920 number of

00:29:43.320 examples, it's

00:29:44.080 just really

00:29:44.460 obvious you

00:29:44.920 can pick

00:29:45.240 them out.

00:29:46.920 So, I

00:29:48.220 saw Brian

00:29:48.760 Romelli, who

00:29:49.760 I always talk

00:29:51.140 about and tweet

00:29:51.840 about, who's

00:29:53.160 an expert on

00:29:53.960 AI and other

00:29:55.600 technology stuff.

00:29:57.040 He's just a

00:29:57.560 real smart

00:29:58.000 guy.

00:29:59.260 And he was

00:30:00.000 saying the

00:30:00.360 other day

00:30:00.740 that something

00:30:01.600 I've been

00:30:01.980 saying, which

00:30:02.980 is that the

00:30:04.800 big aha from

00:30:06.280 AI will not

00:30:08.120 be how cool

00:30:08.840 the AI is and

00:30:09.780 what it does

00:30:10.240 for us.

00:30:10.800 That's just

00:30:11.220 cool.

00:30:12.160 But the

00:30:12.500 big aha will

00:30:15.440 be learning what

00:30:16.700 human beings

00:30:17.540 always were.

00:30:18.400 And this

00:30:20.400 word salad

00:30:21.020 suggestion, this

00:30:22.280 word salad

00:30:22.760 example, this

00:30:24.460 is it.

00:30:25.620 This is what

00:30:26.260 AI is telling

00:30:27.140 you, too.

00:30:28.560 AI is telling

00:30:29.380 you that your

00:30:30.080 intelligence, your

00:30:31.220 so-called

00:30:31.680 intelligence, is

00:30:32.860 just pattern

00:30:33.380 recognition.

00:30:34.840 That's all it

00:30:35.400 is.

00:30:36.180 It's just doing

00:30:36.840 the thing that

00:30:37.520 seems like the

00:30:38.140 next thing that

00:30:38.720 should happen.

00:30:40.100 And we think

00:30:41.120 we're smart.

00:30:42.860 We're not.

00:30:44.420 We're just the

00:30:45.240 AI.

00:30:46.100 We're just a

00:30:46.660 pattern recognition.

00:30:47.420 And so this

00:30:49.140 cognitive dissonance

00:30:50.360 thing, what it

00:30:51.560 does is it

00:30:52.180 breaks up your

00:30:53.160 pattern recognition

00:30:54.660 processor in your

00:30:56.880 brain.

00:30:57.700 So once your

00:30:58.360 pattern recognition

00:30:59.200 processor gets

00:31:00.100 turned off or

00:31:01.060 broken, which is

00:31:02.380 what I do with

00:31:03.140 the triggers, once

00:31:05.380 it's broken,

00:31:06.460 something is still

00:31:07.340 going to come

00:31:07.760 out, but it

00:31:08.720 won't conform to

00:31:09.540 pattern anymore

00:31:10.260 because you broke

00:31:10.800 the pattern.

00:31:12.140 So what comes

00:31:12.980 out doesn't sound

00:31:13.840 like it makes

00:31:14.840 sense because your

00:31:16.300 brain is looking

00:31:16.920 for a pattern

00:31:17.600 but I broke

00:31:18.780 the pattern

00:31:19.240 generator in

00:31:19.980 another brain,

00:31:21.160 so temporarily

00:31:21.840 it's spouting

00:31:22.440 things that

00:31:22.960 don't conform to

00:31:24.100 a pattern.

00:31:24.840 You don't even

00:31:25.560 recognize it.

00:31:26.660 You can't even

00:31:27.240 tell what they're

00:31:27.740 saying because

00:31:28.860 the pattern is

00:31:29.360 broken.

00:31:30.840 That's all.

00:31:31.260 Word salad is

00:31:32.020 just pattern

00:31:32.460 break, breaking

00:31:33.780 the pattern,

00:31:34.440 because the words

00:31:35.180 individually make

00:31:36.040 sense.

00:31:36.880 You can even

00:31:37.420 argue that the

00:31:38.080 sentence makes

00:31:38.660 sense, but

00:31:39.840 somehow together

00:31:40.700 none of it

00:31:41.240 makes sense.

00:31:42.500 No pattern.

00:31:43.080 All right.

00:31:47.740 Canadian wildfires

00:31:49.100 are now affecting

00:31:50.960 Montana to

00:31:52.040 Ohio.

00:31:53.680 So we're being

00:31:54.760 attacked by poison

00:31:55.940 from the south in

00:31:56.880 the form of

00:31:57.320 fentanyl, and

00:31:58.800 now poison from

00:31:59.820 the north in the

00:32:00.620 form of smoke.

00:32:04.380 You know who

00:32:05.260 feels a little bit

00:32:06.120 safer?

00:32:08.180 Crimea.

00:32:08.580 Yeah.

00:32:13.300 Crimea.

00:32:15.600 Crimea River.

00:32:17.280 All right.

00:32:17.900 We'll talk about

00:32:18.520 Crimea.

00:32:20.160 I don't have much

00:32:21.180 to say about this,

00:32:22.080 but why is Canada

00:32:23.840 becoming our big

00:32:24.700 problem lately?

00:32:26.140 We've had more

00:32:27.480 problems with

00:32:29.000 Canada than we

00:32:31.480 have with Taiwan.

00:32:34.020 All right.

00:32:35.600 There's a new

00:32:36.360 movie coming out,

00:32:37.260 which, believe

00:32:38.580 it or not, is

00:32:39.200 going to change

00:32:39.780 reality.

00:32:42.700 Do you think

00:32:43.060 that's a big

00:32:44.740 claim?

00:32:45.500 There's a new

00:32:46.060 movie.

00:32:46.500 I'll tell you

00:32:46.900 which one it

00:32:47.340 is in a moment.

00:32:49.240 It's going to

00:32:49.660 change reality.

00:32:52.280 All right.

00:32:52.940 It's a movie

00:32:53.580 called The

00:32:54.680 Creator, and I

00:32:56.580 don't know much

00:32:57.140 about it except

00:32:57.740 just I watched

00:32:58.640 the trailer.

00:33:00.540 Apparently it's

00:33:01.020 a new movie.

00:33:02.020 And it's a

00:33:03.200 high-tech,

00:33:04.940 futuristic thing

00:33:05.880 in which AI

00:33:06.920 AI has taken

00:33:08.740 over the world

00:33:09.420 like the

00:33:10.120 Terminator, and

00:33:11.880 the spunky

00:33:12.940 humans are

00:33:13.600 trying to

00:33:14.040 fight it

00:33:14.460 against the

00:33:15.320 machines.

00:33:17.220 Now, I've

00:33:18.620 told you before

00:33:19.360 that when a

00:33:20.620 big movie comes

00:33:21.360 out and it

00:33:21.980 gets into your

00:33:22.440 consciousness, it

00:33:24.040 makes everybody

00:33:24.720 just see that

00:33:26.180 pattern, the

00:33:27.040 pattern that was

00:33:27.680 in the movie,

00:33:28.680 whether it was

00:33:29.340 The Matrix or

00:33:30.340 Soylent Green or

00:33:31.820 The Terminator.

00:33:32.900 The public in

00:33:35.460 general, being

00:33:36.120 mostly NPCs, they

00:33:38.180 use movies to

00:33:40.800 understand reality.

00:33:43.400 So how many

00:33:44.260 times have you

00:33:44.860 been in this

00:33:45.380 conversation?

00:33:46.540 Blah, blah,

00:33:47.200 blah.

00:33:47.720 Oh, you mean

00:33:48.740 like The

00:33:49.160 Matrix?

00:33:51.480 You turn on

00:33:52.460 Andrew Tate

00:33:53.420 interview, blah,

00:33:54.720 blah, blah, the

00:33:55.360 Matrix is trying

00:33:56.140 to get me.

00:33:57.120 You talk about

00:33:57.960 the AI danger,

00:33:59.980 blah, blah,

00:34:00.320 blah.

00:34:00.680 You mean like

00:34:01.280 Terminator?

00:34:02.340 Oh, it's like

00:34:02.920 Skynet, right?

00:34:04.200 So we understand

00:34:05.120 the world through

00:34:05.860 our movies.

00:34:07.540 If you make a

00:34:08.520 new movie that's

00:34:09.280 a blockbuster, it

00:34:10.340 looks like it's a

00:34:10.860 big budget.

00:34:12.220 I mean, let me

00:34:13.520 say for sure, I

00:34:15.300 hate movies.

00:34:16.880 I'll watch this

00:34:17.560 one.

00:34:18.840 Because I tend to

00:34:20.000 watch all the

00:34:20.640 sci-fi stuff.

00:34:22.080 Because when I

00:34:22.540 watch sci-fi,

00:34:24.340 there's one thing

00:34:25.220 that they do

00:34:25.700 well, sci-fi.

00:34:27.260 Their violence is

00:34:28.560 usually not that

00:34:29.480 graphic.

00:34:32.040 I don't mind

00:34:33.340 seeing a

00:34:34.560 spaceship blow

00:34:35.400 up.

00:34:38.000 Like, I don't

00:34:38.860 want to see

00:34:39.200 somebody tied to

00:34:39.960 a chair and

00:34:40.560 tortured.

00:34:41.080 That's like

00:34:41.460 regular movies.

00:34:42.800 But like

00:34:43.300 somebody hits

00:34:43.740 somebody with

00:34:44.140 a phaser,

00:34:44.880 they just go,

00:34:45.600 oh, and

00:34:46.760 there's like a

00:34:47.180 little burn

00:34:47.600 mark here and

00:34:48.220 they seem to

00:34:48.660 be dead.

00:34:49.620 Nice, clean

00:34:50.700 violence.

00:34:51.840 The worst

00:34:52.320 thing they do

00:34:52.920 is put people

00:34:53.640 out the airlock

00:34:54.480 and then all

00:34:56.120 of the silence

00:34:56.640 just looks like

00:34:57.340 this, the

00:34:57.720 floating guy,

00:34:59.420 as they slowly

00:35:00.340 turn into ice.

00:35:02.120 It's not that

00:35:03.020 bad.

00:35:04.180 But also,

00:35:05.820 sci-fi has such

00:35:06.900 complicated plots

00:35:09.040 that I never

00:35:10.200 understand the

00:35:10.900 plot.

00:35:12.620 Do you have

00:35:13.320 that problem?

00:35:14.240 It doesn't

00:35:14.720 matter if it's

00:35:15.260 Star Trek.

00:35:16.000 I don't even

00:35:17.280 listen to the

00:35:17.760 plot.

00:35:18.280 I just like the

00:35:18.920 atmospherics.

00:35:20.520 I like putting

00:35:21.280 on headphones and

00:35:22.660 just feeling I'm

00:35:23.420 in the ship.

00:35:24.980 That's why I like

00:35:25.900 them.

00:35:26.440 So I'll watch

00:35:27.020 it.

00:35:27.200 But I worry

00:35:29.280 that this movie,

00:35:30.080 and I don't

00:35:30.420 yet know if

00:35:31.360 it's got like

00:35:31.920 an overall

00:35:32.600 theme other

00:35:33.420 than battling

00:35:34.380 the machines,

00:35:35.800 but if enough

00:35:37.420 people see it,

00:35:38.920 this movie will

00:35:40.660 become the new

00:35:41.400 operating system

00:35:42.420 for how the

00:35:43.160 ordinary public

00:35:44.160 understands AI

00:35:45.820 and AI risks.

00:35:47.360 So the risk of

00:35:49.420 AI, one of the

00:35:50.320 biggest questions

00:35:51.360 in human

00:35:51.960 civilization,

00:35:53.620 will largely be

00:35:54.820 determined by a

00:35:58.220 movie.

00:35:59.580 Probably.

00:36:01.040 Probably the way

00:36:01.980 we treat maybe

00:36:03.220 the biggest risk

00:36:04.440 ever to human

00:36:06.460 civilization,

00:36:07.880 mostly determined

00:36:08.860 by how the movie

00:36:09.720 was written.

00:36:11.120 That's the way

00:36:11.940 this is going to

00:36:12.540 go.

00:36:13.340 Unfortunately,

00:36:14.320 it's a really

00:36:14.940 big risk.

00:36:16.640 Right?

00:36:16.780 I mean, I

00:36:17.360 wouldn't ban

00:36:18.140 the movie or

00:36:18.700 anything, but

00:36:19.680 the risk to

00:36:20.580 civilization is

00:36:21.680 extreme.

00:36:23.000 I haven't seen

00:36:23.560 the movie, so

00:36:24.600 it could be

00:36:25.020 there's nothing

00:36:25.480 in there that's

00:36:26.020 a risk.

00:36:26.800 But if it

00:36:27.480 gives us a

00:36:27.980 bad idea about

00:36:29.640 what we should

00:36:30.300 or should not

00:36:30.900 do with AI,

00:36:31.900 it would change

00:36:32.520 civilization itself.

00:36:35.180 That's a hell

00:36:35.860 of a thing.

00:36:38.840 All right.

00:36:41.480 I saw

00:36:42.120 Jonathan

00:36:42.480 Torley writing

00:36:43.100 in the Hill

00:36:43.500 that the

00:36:43.980 colleges and

00:36:44.600 universities

00:36:45.180 have vowed

00:36:47.220 to make sure

00:36:48.060 that they

00:36:48.480 stay racist.

00:36:50.100 Isn't that

00:36:50.420 a weird thing

00:36:50.960 to vow?

00:36:52.580 Because the

00:36:53.200 affirmative action

00:36:54.860 ruling by

00:36:55.560 the Supreme

00:36:56.360 Court told

00:36:57.720 them they

00:36:58.100 can't use

00:36:58.880 race directly

00:37:00.080 as a main

00:37:01.620 variable in

00:37:02.480 admissions,

00:37:04.340 but apparently

00:37:05.460 there are lots

00:37:06.000 of workarounds

00:37:06.800 that they can

00:37:07.260 do to massage

00:37:08.380 the system,

00:37:09.140 so they end

00:37:09.880 up with the

00:37:10.320 same outcome,

00:37:11.120 but without

00:37:13.160 running afoul

00:37:14.260 of the law.

00:37:15.920 And to me

00:37:16.580 it's just

00:37:16.920 amazing that

00:37:19.540 there are

00:37:20.620 people who

00:37:21.060 are fighting

00:37:21.460 hard to

00:37:22.040 maintain

00:37:22.620 discrimination

00:37:23.500 in 2020.

00:37:26.740 How proud

00:37:28.220 would you be

00:37:28.740 if you fought

00:37:29.340 hard to

00:37:29.860 maintain

00:37:30.500 discrimination

00:37:31.320 against race?

00:37:33.260 That's what

00:37:33.780 they're doing.

00:37:34.780 They're like

00:37:35.140 working hard.

00:37:36.700 They're having

00:37:37.080 meetings and

00:37:38.040 discussions.

00:37:38.940 How can we

00:37:39.540 stay as racist

00:37:40.340 as possible?

00:37:42.240 Yeah, no.

00:37:44.600 Alright, so

00:37:45.320 that's terrible

00:37:45.880 for black

00:37:46.600 Americans, of

00:37:47.320 course, because

00:37:48.820 I was saying

00:37:50.560 that black

00:37:51.100 Americans got

00:37:51.840 promoted, and

00:37:53.900 it's like the

00:37:54.440 best freedom

00:37:55.660 you could ever

00:37:56.160 have, which

00:37:57.200 is to be free

00:37:58.280 to live your

00:37:59.680 life without

00:38:00.700 people imagining

00:38:01.760 that somebody

00:38:02.660 gave you what

00:38:03.480 you earned.

00:38:05.000 That's a pretty

00:38:05.780 big deal.

00:38:07.300 You don't want

00:38:07.760 people to think

00:38:08.320 that you didn't

00:38:08.840 work for, or

00:38:09.940 you didn't

00:38:10.420 deserve or

00:38:11.460 earn what

00:38:12.140 you achieved.

00:38:14.060 But it looks

00:38:14.960 like colleges

00:38:15.420 and universities

00:38:16.120 want to keep

00:38:16.880 us guessing

00:38:17.420 as to whether

00:38:18.760 black Americans

00:38:20.760 achieved what

00:38:22.080 they achieved

00:38:22.560 on merit or

00:38:23.520 some other

00:38:24.560 weird system

00:38:25.320 that the

00:38:25.660 colleges wanted

00:38:26.440 to implement.

00:38:27.860 Let me say

00:38:28.600 again that I

00:38:29.160 don't care about

00:38:30.220 black people.

00:38:32.200 I care about

00:38:33.040 black individuals.

00:38:35.160 That'll get

00:38:35.800 taken out of

00:38:36.360 context.

00:38:37.360 Watch this.

00:38:37.780 Now, I

00:38:38.800 love black

00:38:39.300 individuals like

00:38:41.140 I like every

00:38:42.640 individual,

00:38:44.300 irrespective of

00:38:45.980 race.

00:38:46.620 But stop

00:38:47.640 making me care

00:38:48.680 about black

00:38:49.460 people as a

00:38:50.280 group, because

00:38:51.360 I also don't

00:38:51.980 care about white

00:38:52.820 people as a

00:38:53.840 group.

00:38:55.160 I don't care

00:38:55.920 about women as

00:38:56.800 a group, men

00:38:57.420 as a group,

00:38:57.900 gays as a

00:38:58.440 group.

00:38:59.040 I don't care

00:38:59.620 about them as

00:39:00.140 groups anymore.

00:39:01.220 Because the

00:39:02.160 scientists maybe

00:39:02.940 should study that,

00:39:03.920 and if they learn

00:39:04.500 anything, they can

00:39:05.120 tell us.

00:39:05.560 But if you

00:39:06.680 and I are

00:39:07.200 worried about

00:39:07.760 group equality,

00:39:09.580 we're just

00:39:10.240 working on the

00:39:10.780 wrong stuff.

00:39:11.940 You and I

00:39:12.460 should be

00:39:12.780 working on

00:39:13.240 individual,

00:39:15.160 individual,

00:39:16.800 one-to-one,

00:39:18.020 hey, you're

00:39:18.860 okay, am I

00:39:20.280 okay with you?

00:39:21.080 Okay, we're

00:39:21.560 good.

00:39:22.460 You get that

00:39:23.100 right and

00:39:23.440 everything works.

00:39:24.740 As soon as

00:39:25.380 you let the

00:39:25.900 grifters and

00:39:26.760 the people

00:39:28.340 make money on

00:39:29.080 this stuff,

00:39:29.680 as soon as

00:39:30.100 they let you

00:39:30.680 imagine that

00:39:31.520 you have a

00:39:31.960 conversation about

00:39:32.940 a group,

00:39:34.200 just excuse

00:39:35.760 yourself.

00:39:37.300 Excuse yourself.

00:39:38.800 You say, you

00:39:39.160 know, I'll talk

00:39:39.860 all day about

00:39:40.560 how to handle

00:39:41.240 individuals and

00:39:42.780 how to make

00:39:43.200 an individual

00:39:43.700 succeed despite

00:39:45.380 whatever obstacles

00:39:47.720 there are.

00:39:49.760 But don't tell

00:39:50.560 me that I have

00:39:51.300 to treat a

00:39:51.780 group like it's

00:39:52.700 an entity.

00:39:54.640 There's no such

00:39:55.400 thing as a

00:39:55.860 group.

00:39:56.320 The whole idea

00:39:57.160 of a group is

00:39:57.940 like this mental

00:39:58.640 construct.

00:40:00.380 The group never

00:40:01.160 comes into your

00:40:01.840 room.

00:40:02.080 What happens

00:40:04.500 to the group

00:40:05.000 just isn't

00:40:05.940 irrelevant anymore.

00:40:07.860 Now, this is

00:40:09.120 a newer opinion

00:40:11.780 of mine.

00:40:13.160 And I would

00:40:13.680 agree that

00:40:14.900 there were times

00:40:15.980 in history,

00:40:16.680 and not very

00:40:17.260 long ago,

00:40:18.500 where looking

00:40:19.160 at the group

00:40:20.260 discrimination

00:40:21.040 made perfect

00:40:21.780 sense.

00:40:22.740 It made perfect

00:40:23.300 sense because

00:40:24.040 things were so

00:40:24.600 bad.

00:40:26.000 But at some

00:40:26.520 point, and that

00:40:27.940 point has to be

00:40:28.620 long before

00:40:29.480 everything's equal

00:40:30.340 everywhere, way

00:40:31.560 before that, if

00:40:32.940 you could ever

00:40:33.340 get to that

00:40:33.760 point, you

00:40:34.820 need to stop

00:40:35.600 direct

00:40:36.680 discrimination.

00:40:39.140 And just work

00:40:40.280 on individual

00:40:40.900 success, and

00:40:42.360 that's where we

00:40:42.740 are.

00:40:43.240 So the big

00:40:43.740 shift should be

00:40:45.360 that everybody's

00:40:46.160 talking about

00:40:46.620 groups, they're

00:40:48.040 in the wrong

00:40:48.460 conversation.

00:40:50.060 They're not

00:40:50.680 right, they're

00:40:51.200 not wrong,

00:40:51.760 they're just not

00:40:52.260 in a useful

00:40:52.780 conversation, it's

00:40:53.760 not anything you

00:40:54.460 should be

00:40:55.240 concerned about,

00:40:56.720 or put any

00:40:57.680 time or effort

00:40:58.360 into.

00:40:58.620 You should

00:40:59.560 put no time

00:41:00.300 or effort

00:41:00.640 into making

00:41:01.580 a group, no

00:41:03.820 matter who

00:41:04.200 they are,

00:41:05.620 better off.

00:41:07.160 But you

00:41:07.580 should certainly

00:41:08.220 put attention

00:41:08.960 into making

00:41:09.480 yourself better

00:41:10.200 off, and

00:41:11.200 anybody who

00:41:11.800 asks for help,

00:41:12.680 any individual.

00:41:13.820 So you should

00:41:14.220 treat people

00:41:15.060 like kings and

00:41:15.860 queens, and

00:41:17.700 you should treat

00:41:18.240 groups like

00:41:19.080 that's just

00:41:19.560 bullshit.

00:41:21.160 Groups are

00:41:21.840 bullshit.

00:41:23.140 People are

00:41:24.740 awesome.

00:41:26.280 That's the

00:41:26.920 bottom line.

00:41:27.440 Groups are

00:41:27.840 bullshit, people

00:41:28.600 are awesome.

00:41:30.240 So live your

00:41:30.860 life that way, I

00:41:31.540 recommend.

00:41:33.280 Rasmussen had a

00:41:34.140 poll talking

00:41:35.360 about this

00:41:35.780 affirmative action,

00:41:36.720 and the Supreme

00:41:38.080 Court's striking

00:41:38.760 down of

00:41:39.240 affirmative action

00:41:40.060 was popular

00:41:41.040 with two-thirds

00:41:41.980 of the public.

00:41:43.380 Two-thirds of

00:41:44.040 the public was

00:41:44.840 against discriminating

00:41:46.280 by race.

00:41:48.380 What?

00:41:49.880 Only two-thirds?

00:41:52.320 Only two-thirds

00:41:53.520 were against

00:41:54.100 racial discrimination?

00:41:56.240 I would hope

00:41:58.460 that would be

00:41:58.840 higher.

00:41:59.800 But let me

00:42:00.440 ask the question

00:42:01.260 in a different

00:42:01.700 way.

00:42:04.280 And we'll

00:42:05.000 just see how

00:42:06.240 smart you are,

00:42:07.160 and I think

00:42:08.220 you'll probably

00:42:09.180 get it within

00:42:09.820 three points.

00:42:12.680 You're so

00:42:13.020 smart.

00:42:14.200 But what

00:42:14.900 percent,

00:42:15.420 according to

00:42:15.780 Rasmussen,

00:42:16.880 disapprove of

00:42:17.860 the Supreme

00:42:18.300 Court's decision

00:42:19.000 and therefore

00:42:19.580 are in favor

00:42:20.420 of continued

00:42:21.100 discrimination

00:42:21.860 by race?

00:42:24.280 28%.

00:42:24.840 28%.

00:42:25.960 Excellent

00:42:27.920 guessing.

00:42:29.180 You are all

00:42:29.700 very close.

00:42:30.480 The smartest

00:42:31.040 audience in

00:42:31.980 all of politics.

00:42:34.060 Impressive.

00:42:37.680 Kamala Harris,

00:42:38.680 as you know,

00:42:39.340 is sort of

00:42:40.140 taking the lead

00:42:40.740 on AI for

00:42:41.620 the government.

00:42:43.020 And last

00:42:43.880 week she

00:42:44.240 convened a

00:42:44.740 group of

00:42:45.260 civil rights

00:42:45.900 and labor

00:42:47.680 leaders to

00:42:50.880 discuss the

00:42:51.580 field of

00:42:52.060 artificial

00:42:52.500 intelligence.

00:42:53.680 Bloomberg is

00:42:54.520 reporting that.

00:42:55.960 Yeah.

00:42:56.340 So the

00:42:56.760 person that

00:42:57.240 we put in

00:42:57.740 charge of

00:42:58.460 AI decided

00:43:00.380 that a good

00:43:00.980 strong place

00:43:01.800 to start

00:43:02.620 the protection

00:43:04.440 of humanity

00:43:05.760 was by

00:43:06.980 convening a

00:43:07.620 group of

00:43:08.020 civil rights

00:43:08.540 and labor

00:43:08.960 leaders.

00:43:10.740 Do you

00:43:11.200 know who I

00:43:11.640 don't care

00:43:12.100 about?

00:43:13.040 Civil rights

00:43:13.700 and labor

00:43:14.140 leaders.

00:43:16.680 Here's AI.

00:43:18.400 Here's AI.

00:43:19.560 Here's a

00:43:20.360 civil rights

00:43:21.220 and labor

00:43:21.740 leaders.

00:43:22.960 Over here.

00:43:24.260 Like way

00:43:24.800 over here.

00:43:27.820 Is she

00:43:28.540 the most

00:43:28.940 incompetent

00:43:29.600 vice president

00:43:30.260 we've ever

00:43:30.740 had?

00:43:32.000 I mean,

00:43:32.360 Dan Quayle

00:43:32.940 was kind

00:43:33.780 of impressive.

00:43:36.000 I think

00:43:36.560 she's out

00:43:37.000 Quayle

00:43:37.500 Quayle.

00:43:38.360 And that

00:43:38.600 was pretty

00:43:39.240 hard.

00:43:40.620 Just to

00:43:41.580 keep it

00:43:41.980 not

00:43:42.700 Democrat

00:43:44.120 or Republican.

00:43:45.700 Dan Quayle

00:43:46.540 was not.

00:43:47.180 Do you

00:43:48.180 remember what

00:43:48.580 the problem

00:43:48.960 was with

00:43:49.380 Dan Quayle

00:43:49.940 or why

00:43:50.480 there was

00:43:50.800 a Dan

00:43:51.180 Quayle?

00:43:54.080 Here's

00:43:54.560 the problem.

00:43:55.680 And I

00:43:55.900 always say

00:43:56.260 this, but

00:43:56.620 it's funny

00:43:57.040 every time

00:43:57.460 I say it,

00:43:58.000 so I'm

00:43:58.220 going to

00:43:58.340 say it

00:43:58.620 again.

00:43:59.820 The main

00:44:00.600 requirement

00:44:01.100 of a

00:44:01.560 vice

00:44:01.760 president

00:44:02.180 is to

00:44:02.640 look less

00:44:03.120 capable

00:44:03.540 than the

00:44:04.000 president.

00:44:04.740 That's

00:44:05.000 like the

00:44:05.300 main

00:44:05.540 thing.

00:44:06.300 Just stay

00:44:06.780 out of

00:44:07.000 trouble

00:44:07.260 and look

00:44:08.420 clearly

00:44:09.040 less

00:44:10.020 capable

00:44:10.840 than the

00:44:11.320 president.

00:44:12.940 So you

00:44:13.180 had Ronald

00:44:13.620 Reagan,

00:44:14.760 excellent

00:44:15.240 president,

00:44:16.200 and he

00:44:16.540 had George

00:44:17.440 Bush,

00:44:17.840 who was

00:44:18.120 clearly not

00:44:18.980 as,

00:44:19.860 didn't have

00:44:21.160 the same

00:44:21.460 wattage as

00:44:22.300 Reagan.

00:44:23.640 But then

00:44:24.700 the second

00:44:25.520 in command,

00:44:27.400 Bush becomes

00:44:29.380 president,

00:44:30.140 largely because

00:44:30.860 Reagan was so

00:44:31.600 popular, really.

00:44:32.600 It was just an

00:44:33.140 extension of

00:44:33.700 Reagan.

00:44:34.920 Now Bush has

00:44:36.080 to find somebody

00:44:36.760 who's clearly

00:44:37.460 less capable

00:44:38.220 than he is.

00:44:39.760 So now we're

00:44:40.260 down two levels

00:44:41.060 from Reagan.

00:44:43.000 Right?

00:44:43.280 George Bush

00:44:45.540 Sr.

00:44:45.860 was a

00:44:46.220 solid

00:44:46.440 president.

00:44:47.280 In my

00:44:47.800 opinion, he

00:44:48.160 was pretty

00:44:48.480 solid.

00:44:50.160 But he had

00:44:50.940 to find

00:44:51.300 somebody who

00:44:51.760 was clearly

00:44:52.460 not as

00:44:53.100 solid as

00:44:53.580 him and

00:44:54.020 went all

00:44:54.440 the way

00:44:54.620 to Dan

00:44:54.960 Quayle.

00:44:55.560 Now if

00:44:56.060 somehow Dan

00:44:56.760 Quayle had

00:44:57.220 become

00:44:57.520 president,

00:44:58.960 who would

00:45:00.580 Dan Quayle

00:45:01.220 have picked

00:45:01.540 for his

00:45:01.860 vice

00:45:02.100 president?

00:45:04.400 I can

00:45:05.040 only think

00:45:05.480 of one

00:45:05.780 thing.

00:45:07.600 Young

00:45:07.960 Kamala

00:45:08.360 Harris.

00:45:09.440 Thank you.

00:45:10.960 Young

00:45:11.340 Kamala

00:45:11.700 Harris.

00:45:12.000 He was

00:45:12.320 probably

00:45:12.580 10 years

00:45:13.100 old or

00:45:13.460 something.

00:45:14.600 Yeah,

00:45:14.960 that was

00:45:15.280 the only

00:45:15.560 person who

00:45:16.000 would be

00:45:16.200 less capable

00:45:16.840 than Dan

00:45:17.680 Quayle.

00:45:18.980 All right,

00:45:19.720 I make fun

00:45:20.520 of Dan

00:45:20.860 Quayle,

00:45:21.180 but I

00:45:21.380 don't really

00:45:21.660 know anything

00:45:22.020 about him,

00:45:22.520 so he's

00:45:23.000 probably awesome

00:45:23.600 in his own

00:45:24.340 way.

00:45:25.680 All right,

00:45:27.060 and then

00:45:28.900 I saw a

00:45:30.120 compilation clip

00:45:31.000 of how many

00:45:31.480 times Kamala

00:45:32.140 Harris uses,

00:45:33.300 I guess it's

00:45:33.800 a Jesse

00:45:34.200 Jackson quote,

00:45:36.020 where she

00:45:36.660 goes,

00:45:37.540 and we

00:45:37.940 will get

00:45:38.360 this done

00:45:39.100 by looking

00:45:41.080 at what

00:45:41.500 can be

00:45:42.220 unburdened

00:45:43.820 by what

00:45:44.340 has been.

00:45:45.760 And apparently

00:45:46.280 she's said

00:45:46.840 this just

00:45:47.280 dozens and

00:45:48.000 dozens of

00:45:48.600 times.

00:45:49.280 She'll put it

00:45:49.820 in every

00:45:50.200 speech,

00:45:50.900 because it's

00:45:51.580 the only

00:45:51.840 thing she

00:45:52.240 says that

00:45:52.700 sounds smart.

00:45:54.820 Everything

00:45:55.220 else doesn't

00:45:55.860 sound smart,

00:45:57.080 but when she

00:45:57.580 says,

00:45:58.780 what can be

00:46:00.660 unburdened

00:46:01.960 by what

00:46:02.600 has been,

00:46:04.140 unburdened

00:46:05.000 by what

00:46:05.360 has been.

00:46:05.780 Well,

00:46:09.780 there's yet

00:46:10.420 another video

00:46:11.440 of her

00:46:11.820 looking

00:46:12.240 inebriated

00:46:13.120 in public.

00:46:15.280 We're still

00:46:15.940 not talking

00:46:16.540 about it,

00:46:16.980 right?

00:46:17.920 Like,

00:46:18.420 we can

00:46:18.680 only say

00:46:19.080 this on

00:46:19.560 weird little

00:46:20.480 podcasts,

00:46:22.180 but you

00:46:22.440 can't go on

00:46:23.340 the regular

00:46:23.760 news and

00:46:24.320 say,

00:46:24.620 well,

00:46:24.860 our drunken

00:46:25.340 vice

00:46:25.660 president

00:46:26.160 embarrassed

00:46:27.660 us again.

00:46:29.560 You can't

00:46:30.220 just say

00:46:30.560 the obvious,

00:46:31.240 that she's

00:46:31.720 clearly on

00:46:32.600 something.

00:46:33.700 You have

00:46:34.200 to ignore

00:46:34.560 that for

00:46:34.980 now.

00:46:35.640 So we're

00:46:36.080 all going

00:46:36.580 to pretend

00:46:36.980 that's not

00:46:37.480 happening,

00:46:37.900 right?

00:46:39.200 We're going

00:46:39.580 to pretend

00:46:40.020 that Biden's

00:46:40.920 brain is

00:46:41.560 just working

00:46:42.060 perfectly,

00:46:42.940 and his

00:46:43.920 VP is

00:46:44.780 totally

00:46:45.840 sober.

00:46:48.060 Yeah,

00:46:48.440 let's pretend

00:46:49.120 that's all

00:46:49.640 true.

00:46:51.360 She's

00:46:51.800 entertaining

00:46:52.200 anyway.

00:46:53.460 All right,

00:46:54.640 Joe Manchin

00:46:55.440 is making

00:46:56.620 some trouble

00:46:57.180 by, I

00:46:58.300 guess he's

00:46:58.640 having an

00:46:59.040 event of

00:46:59.520 these,

00:47:00.100 quote,

00:47:00.220 no labels

00:47:00.880 group.

00:47:01.500 It's a

00:47:01.820 potential

00:47:02.620 third-party

00:47:03.500 group.

00:47:04.880 So he

00:47:05.500 must be

00:47:05.900 flirting

00:47:06.220 with a

00:47:06.840 third-party

00:47:07.480 run,

00:47:08.440 which

00:47:09.160 everybody

00:47:09.920 believes

00:47:10.460 would do

00:47:10.880 nothing

00:47:11.220 but make

00:47:14.400 Trump the

00:47:14.860 president.

00:47:15.620 Am I

00:47:16.000 right?

00:47:17.860 Is that

00:47:18.420 the way

00:47:18.640 it would

00:47:18.820 go?

00:47:19.060 If Joe

00:47:19.460 Manchin

00:47:19.800 ran as

00:47:20.240 a third

00:47:20.580 party,

00:47:21.040 he would

00:47:21.220 make

00:47:21.440 Trump

00:47:21.720 president

00:47:22.160 pretty much

00:47:22.780 for sure,

00:47:23.660 assuming he

00:47:24.140 gets the

00:47:24.440 nomination.

00:47:27.560 So why

00:47:28.500 would he

00:47:28.820 do that?

00:47:30.540 I'm trying

00:47:31.160 to figure

00:47:32.020 out his

00:47:32.380 play.

00:47:32.660 Now it

00:47:33.820 totally makes

00:47:35.000 sense that

00:47:36.160 because he's

00:47:36.760 a swing

00:47:37.340 vote sometimes

00:47:38.220 that he

00:47:39.400 uses his

00:47:40.080 power to

00:47:40.680 get legislation

00:47:41.620 massaged

00:47:43.680 for his

00:47:44.080 benefit.

00:47:44.880 So that

00:47:45.180 makes sense

00:47:45.800 because he

00:47:46.680 uses his

00:47:47.360 swing vote

00:47:48.240 power.

00:47:49.140 But what

00:47:49.700 new power

00:47:50.980 would he

00:47:51.440 gain by

00:47:52.860 being a

00:47:53.320 third-party

00:47:53.840 candidate?

00:47:55.240 I feel like

00:47:56.060 unless he

00:47:57.180 believes he

00:47:57.680 can't win

00:47:58.120 his seat

00:47:58.520 back,

00:47:58.880 does he

00:47:59.860 think he's

00:48:00.220 not going

00:48:00.500 to win

00:48:00.720 his seat

00:48:01.040 back?

00:48:01.520 Because

00:48:01.800 there's

00:48:02.260 some talk

00:48:02.860 about that,

00:48:03.360 right?

00:48:05.140 So the

00:48:05.740 real problem

00:48:06.240 is he

00:48:06.560 doesn't think

00:48:07.060 he'll get

00:48:07.380 re-elected to

00:48:08.080 his current

00:48:08.520 position,

00:48:09.040 right?

00:48:09.640 So he

00:48:10.020 might need

00:48:10.400 an escape

00:48:10.880 path?

00:48:12.020 Because that

00:48:12.380 would make

00:48:12.640 sense.

00:48:13.180 Because that

00:48:13.540 would give

00:48:13.840 him something

00:48:15.220 that's not

00:48:15.740 just losing.

00:48:16.840 You know,

00:48:17.000 he'd be able

00:48:17.560 to go to

00:48:18.060 something.

00:48:19.300 But I

00:48:21.360 can't see

00:48:22.460 him thinking

00:48:23.640 that the

00:48:24.120 country would

00:48:24.780 be better

00:48:25.200 off as he

00:48:27.000 sees it.

00:48:27.580 because

00:48:28.360 basically he

00:48:29.260 would just

00:48:29.580 determine who

00:48:30.140 wins the

00:48:30.500 election,

00:48:31.480 which is

00:48:31.960 kind of

00:48:32.260 cool.

00:48:32.920 I love

00:48:33.340 the fact

00:48:33.680 that Joe

00:48:34.040 Manchin is

00:48:34.580 smart enough

00:48:35.220 that he

00:48:36.140 puts himself

00:48:36.740 in these

00:48:37.100 situations

00:48:37.600 where he's

00:48:38.120 the most

00:48:38.380 powerful

00:48:38.780 person.

00:48:39.720 It's totally

00:48:40.380 free money.

00:48:41.120 He just

00:48:41.380 keeps picking

00:48:41.920 it up.

00:48:43.060 So maybe

00:48:43.600 I'll just

00:48:46.580 put this

00:48:46.980 out there.

00:48:48.300 Imagine

00:48:48.780 Joe Manchin

00:48:49.460 got really,

00:48:50.340 really close

00:48:50.980 to launching

00:48:51.580 a third

00:48:52.020 party.

00:48:54.140 And then

00:48:54.800 there were a

00:48:55.180 bunch of

00:48:55.520 billionaires who

00:48:56.820 were Democrats

00:48:57.500 who know

00:48:58.660 that if

00:48:59.160 that happens

00:48:59.760 all the

00:49:00.240 money that

00:49:00.640 they've

00:49:00.900 donated to

00:49:01.760 Biden will

00:49:02.640 be wasted.

00:49:04.140 Total waste

00:49:04.720 of money.

00:49:05.940 Because Manchin

00:49:06.800 would determine

00:49:07.400 the outcome

00:49:07.860 just by running.

00:49:09.520 So the

00:49:09.940 billionaires on

00:49:10.640 the left

00:49:11.260 would find out

00:49:11.960 they were

00:49:12.240 wasting all

00:49:12.820 their money.

00:49:13.780 How much

00:49:14.280 money would

00:49:14.860 they be

00:49:15.200 willing to

00:49:15.720 give Joe

00:49:16.480 Manchin or

00:49:17.500 promise to

00:49:18.220 give him at

00:49:18.720 some time in

00:49:19.240 the future to

00:49:20.720 talk about it

00:49:21.380 being a third

00:49:21.920 party candidate?

00:49:24.160 A billion

00:49:24.940 dollars?

00:49:26.520 A hundred

00:49:26.980 million?

00:49:27.500 You don't

00:49:29.400 think it

00:49:29.960 would make

00:49:30.320 sense for

00:49:31.320 the big

00:49:32.080 billionaires on

00:49:32.980 the left to

00:49:34.100 bribe him out

00:49:34.960 of that job?

00:49:36.920 Maybe not in a

00:49:37.820 way that you and

00:49:38.360 I can tell as a

00:49:39.120 bribe, but maybe

00:49:40.740 down the road he's

00:49:42.100 running a company

00:49:42.980 that got funded by

00:49:44.760 some big Democrat

00:49:46.280 donor.

00:49:47.660 And, you know,

00:49:48.320 there's no,

00:49:49.520 nobody ever finds

00:49:50.520 there was any

00:49:51.060 documentation

00:49:51.760 connecting him.

00:49:52.880 It's just the

00:49:54.040 donor thought,

00:49:54.800 you know,

00:49:55.000 this Joe Manchin

00:49:55.800 guy, he could

00:49:56.360 run a business.

00:49:57.120 I think I'll

00:49:57.960 put some money

00:49:58.440 behind it.

00:50:00.700 He's 75 years

00:50:01.800 old, so I guess

00:50:02.320 he's not going to

00:50:02.960 run a business.

00:50:05.300 But anyway, I'm

00:50:06.080 just trying to

00:50:06.500 figure out how

00:50:07.060 does Joe Manchin

00:50:07.780 win by even

00:50:09.900 flirting with a

00:50:10.700 third party?

00:50:11.300 It's got to be

00:50:11.820 that he's playing

00:50:12.500 for the being

00:50:14.460 paid not to do

00:50:15.360 it.

00:50:16.060 What do you

00:50:16.420 think?

00:50:17.380 Follow the money

00:50:18.200 suggests that he

00:50:19.800 cannot make money

00:50:20.800 by running as a

00:50:22.400 third party.

00:50:22.880 So if you

00:50:24.240 follow the money

00:50:24.840 you'd have to

00:50:25.340 say he's

00:50:25.780 playing to

00:50:27.360 get bought

00:50:27.820 out.

00:50:30.180 That's what it

00:50:30.800 looks like.

00:50:31.660 It looks like

00:50:32.200 he's playing to

00:50:33.280 be bought

00:50:33.660 out.

00:50:34.740 We'll see.

00:50:37.600 The Babylon

00:50:38.400 Bee, of course,

00:50:39.320 the most important

00:50:40.300 media organization

00:50:41.460 in the world,

00:50:43.160 has a headline

00:50:44.000 says,

00:50:44.320 scientists warn

00:50:45.100 that within six

00:50:45.900 months humanity

00:50:47.180 will run out of

00:50:48.100 things to call

00:50:48.680 racist.

00:50:50.220 Well, what are

00:50:50.880 we going to do

00:50:51.320 then?

00:50:51.540 What will we

00:50:53.220 do then?

00:50:57.100 Justin Trudeau

00:50:58.240 is blaming

00:50:58.980 America's right

00:51:00.860 wing for the

00:51:02.360 fact that

00:51:02.920 Muslims in

00:51:03.820 Canada are

00:51:04.500 opposed to

00:51:05.060 LGBTQ

00:51:05.720 curriculums in

00:51:07.100 schools.

00:51:10.900 He's blaming

00:51:12.560 right wing

00:51:13.160 Americans for

00:51:14.960 Canadian

00:51:15.500 Muslims.

00:51:18.700 Because

00:51:18.980 Trudeau,

00:51:21.540 Trudeau managed

00:51:22.720 to find a

00:51:23.340 topic that's

00:51:24.620 so outrageously

00:51:25.680 stupid that

00:51:27.380 he made the

00:51:28.880 Muslims in

00:51:30.180 Canada and

00:51:30.800 the right wing

00:51:31.380 in America

00:51:31.960 join hands and

00:51:33.560 sing Kumbaya

00:51:34.280 and say,

00:51:35.380 all right,

00:51:35.620 we're on the

00:51:36.300 same team here.

00:51:37.680 We are on the

00:51:38.600 same team.

00:51:40.100 Come on over

00:51:40.580 here.

00:51:40.820 Ahmad,

00:51:41.400 Ahmad,

00:51:42.600 Ahmad, come over

00:51:43.500 here.

00:51:43.720 We're on the

00:51:44.080 same team.

00:51:44.480 just for

00:51:46.060 now.

00:51:47.200 Maybe later

00:51:48.060 we'll disagree.

00:51:49.480 But for

00:51:49.920 now, you

00:51:51.480 and I,

00:51:52.120 same team.

00:51:54.000 And Trudeau

00:51:55.000 is on the

00:51:55.340 other team.

00:51:56.340 But I love

00:51:57.040 the fact that

00:51:57.700 Elon Musk

00:51:58.380 weighed in on

00:51:59.220 a tweet about

00:52:00.240 Trudeau,

00:52:00.920 this story,

00:52:02.020 with just a

00:52:02.700 clown emoji.

00:52:03.420 the richest

00:52:05.760 man in the

00:52:06.320 world,

00:52:06.680 owner of

00:52:07.140 Twitter and

00:52:08.440 Tesla and

00:52:09.000 SpaceX.

00:52:09.960 He responds

00:52:10.620 to the

00:52:11.200 leader of

00:52:11.640 Canada with

00:52:12.100 a clown emoji.

00:52:13.660 And by the

00:52:14.000 way, there's

00:52:14.360 nothing else

00:52:14.820 you could say.

00:52:16.660 To imagine

00:52:17.480 that you could

00:52:18.000 have some

00:52:18.320 logical conversation

00:52:19.580 on this point,

00:52:21.200 there's no

00:52:21.620 logical conversation

00:52:22.800 on that point.

00:52:24.060 This is just

00:52:24.940 Trudeau being a

00:52:25.680 racist.

00:52:27.600 It's just

00:52:28.160 Trudeau being a

00:52:28.820 racist.

00:52:29.900 So you don't

00:52:31.000 enter their

00:52:31.600 frame.

00:52:32.660 Do not

00:52:33.200 enter the

00:52:33.660 frame.

00:52:34.040 Do what

00:52:34.320 Musk did.

00:52:35.600 Call it

00:52:36.020 out as

00:52:36.520 clown world.

00:52:38.300 Walk away.

00:52:39.780 Just don't

00:52:40.320 enter the

00:52:40.740 frame.

00:52:42.600 All right.

00:52:43.780 How many

00:52:44.420 of you would

00:52:45.040 agree with

00:52:45.960 the statement

00:52:46.420 that Vivek

00:52:47.460 Ramaswamy seems

00:52:48.560 to be rising

00:52:49.460 and like

00:52:52.240 something's

00:52:52.640 happening?

00:52:53.700 You see it,

00:52:54.280 right?

00:52:55.460 So the

00:52:56.400 TPUSCA

00:52:57.840 event,

00:52:59.200 big conservative

00:53:00.300 event of

00:53:00.920 young people,

00:53:01.540 Vivek came

00:53:04.240 in second

00:53:04.680 in the

00:53:05.020 straw poll,

00:53:06.660 beating out

00:53:07.820 DeSantis.

00:53:08.900 Now, I

00:53:09.540 guess this

00:53:09.920 event is

00:53:10.480 hugely pro-Trump,

00:53:11.900 so Trump

00:53:12.280 got almost

00:53:12.980 all the

00:53:13.280 votes, but

00:53:13.800 what was

00:53:14.180 left,

00:53:15.260 notably,

00:53:16.800 DeSantis

00:53:17.140 wasn't

00:53:17.540 second.

00:53:19.140 So, and

00:53:21.180 I think I

00:53:21.960 saw

00:53:22.500 Kanakoa,

00:53:23.860 the great,

00:53:24.320 he ran a

00:53:24.800 poll on

00:53:25.340 Twitter, and

00:53:26.200 also Vivek

00:53:27.360 did well in

00:53:27.940 that.

00:53:29.060 So, and

00:53:30.420 also Vivek is

00:53:31.300 trending on

00:53:31.980 Twitter.

00:53:34.240 Did you see

00:53:34.800 which candidates

00:53:35.460 are trending

00:53:36.080 today?

00:53:36.720 Nobody else.

00:53:38.440 Our RFK

00:53:39.540 Jr. often

00:53:40.240 trends, but

00:53:40.880 lately it's

00:53:41.420 because people

00:53:43.560 are going

00:53:43.860 after him for

00:53:44.500 imagining he's

00:53:45.280 anti-Semitic.

00:53:46.820 The dumbest

00:53:47.800 thing.

00:53:49.340 Imagining the

00:53:50.000 RFK Jr.

00:53:50.840 is anti-Semitic.

00:53:52.240 That might be

00:53:52.720 the dumbest

00:53:53.500 assumption.

00:53:54.940 Like, you

00:53:55.160 don't even have

00:53:55.600 to look into

00:53:56.100 it.

00:53:56.300 You don't

00:53:57.400 have to do

00:53:57.780 any research

00:53:58.600 to find out

00:54:00.160 that's obviously

00:54:00.980 not true.

00:54:01.580 You don't

00:54:01.760 have to read

00:54:02.120 the story.

00:54:03.700 That was

00:54:04.420 just so

00:54:04.900 obviously

00:54:05.540 not true.

00:54:07.200 Don't even

00:54:07.720 bother looking

00:54:08.240 into it.

00:54:08.780 There's

00:54:08.940 nothing to

00:54:09.360 see.

00:54:12.540 But I

00:54:13.360 think a lot

00:54:13.960 of people are

00:54:14.560 coming around

00:54:15.320 to the

00:54:15.740 thought that

00:54:18.600 Trump plus

00:54:19.640 Vivek, if

00:54:21.600 Vivek doesn't

00:54:22.320 win it outright,

00:54:23.180 which is still

00:54:23.680 possible, because

00:54:24.800 anything can

00:54:25.340 happen with

00:54:25.800 Trump, right?

00:54:26.760 The most

00:54:27.440 predictable thing

00:54:28.280 about Trump is

00:54:28.980 that he's

00:54:29.340 unpredictable.

00:54:30.860 So who

00:54:31.260 knows?

00:54:32.280 Who knows?

00:54:33.000 Maybe the

00:54:33.380 legal system

00:54:34.040 takes him

00:54:34.460 out.

00:54:35.360 Maybe he

00:54:35.780 says something

00:54:36.300 that's just

00:54:36.900 too far this

00:54:37.700 time.

00:54:38.480 So it

00:54:38.860 makes sense

00:54:39.280 for Vivek to

00:54:40.060 be rising and

00:54:41.720 also popular

00:54:42.540 with Trump.

00:54:43.360 Trump actually

00:54:44.000 says he's

00:54:44.360 doing a great

00:54:44.800 job and he's

00:54:45.580 competing with

00:54:46.140 him.

00:54:46.440 That's pretty

00:54:46.840 amazing.

00:54:47.820 So it does

00:54:48.600 seem that

00:54:49.000 they're at

00:54:49.360 least considering

00:54:51.080 what might

00:54:52.640 happen if

00:54:53.160 Trump got the

00:54:53.800 nomination.

00:54:54.240 I think

00:54:55.320 they're thinking

00:54:55.860 about it.

00:54:57.400 And in my

00:54:57.960 opinion, and

00:54:58.520 I heard this

00:54:58.960 from somebody

00:54:59.860 else, so I'm

00:55:00.500 stealing this

00:55:01.020 idea, Vivek

00:55:02.500 would be the

00:55:03.360 perfect COO to

00:55:05.100 Trump's CEO.

00:55:07.880 Wouldn't it be

00:55:08.680 great to have

00:55:09.500 somebody who is

00:55:10.160 just a great

00:55:10.720 operator, who

00:55:12.600 would just be

00:55:13.100 the sane,

00:55:13.880 logical, knows

00:55:15.340 how to look at

00:55:16.580 risk and reward,

00:55:18.160 knows how to

00:55:18.660 implement, knows

00:55:19.460 how to execute,

00:55:20.160 and then you

00:55:21.920 season Vivek

00:55:25.400 for the

00:55:27.200 presidency later.

00:55:29.280 So I've

00:55:30.160 only had a

00:55:31.140 million users

00:55:31.800 on Twitter

00:55:32.780 now for one

00:55:33.920 day, but as

00:55:35.500 I told you, I'd

00:55:36.120 be running

00:55:36.500 things once I

00:55:37.460 got to a

00:55:37.820 million, because

00:55:39.020 power is

00:55:39.660 really an

00:55:40.340 influence times

00:55:41.480 platform.

00:55:44.360 Let me say

00:55:45.140 that again.

00:55:46.240 The amount

00:55:46.500 of power or

00:55:47.520 influence anybody

00:55:48.240 has is how

00:55:49.820 much skill

00:55:50.340 they have

00:55:50.900 in influence

00:55:52.060 multiplied times

00:55:53.860 how many

00:55:54.280 people see

00:55:54.880 it, the

00:55:55.900 size of your

00:55:56.340 platform or

00:55:57.200 your audience.

00:55:58.940 So with a

00:55:59.680 million people

00:56:00.320 who are

00:56:01.800 connected to

00:56:02.600 millions of

00:56:03.420 other people,

00:56:05.060 in theory,

00:56:06.800 my training

00:56:08.240 in persuasion

00:56:09.120 times a

00:56:10.560 million people

00:56:11.240 should allow

00:56:12.180 me to run

00:56:12.600 the world

00:56:12.920 now, from

00:56:14.740 behind the

00:56:15.280 scenes.

00:56:15.940 Nobody will

00:56:16.340 even know.

00:56:17.160 But I've

00:56:17.580 only been in

00:56:18.020 charge in one

00:56:18.640 day, and

00:56:19.040 already it

00:56:19.500 looks like

00:56:19.860 you can

00:56:20.140 see the

00:56:20.460 next 12

00:56:21.920 years pretty

00:56:22.520 clearly.

00:56:23.860 It looks like

00:56:24.580 Trump's going

00:56:25.060 to get the

00:56:25.400 nomination,

00:56:26.100 Vivek will

00:56:26.600 be vice

00:56:27.020 president, and

00:56:28.140 then Vivek

00:56:28.700 will take

00:56:29.080 over after

00:56:29.700 having a

00:56:30.260 tremendous

00:56:30.680 run for

00:56:32.060 president for

00:56:33.000 eight years

00:56:33.640 after that.

00:56:35.060 And so I

00:56:35.780 don't know if

00:56:36.100 you saw this,

00:56:36.740 but it was

00:56:37.500 like looking

00:56:37.980 into this

00:56:38.560 cloudy, foggy

00:56:40.480 forest, and

00:56:42.360 as soon as

00:56:42.920 Trump said

00:56:43.620 that maybe

00:56:45.120 DeSantis

00:56:45.600 wouldn't be

00:56:46.220 the second

00:56:46.700 place, maybe

00:56:47.960 Vivek, he's

00:56:49.320 doing a

00:56:49.640 great job, as

00:56:51.340 soon as

00:56:51.860 Trump said

00:56:52.380 that, you

00:56:53.200 could feel

00:56:53.520 the fog

00:56:53.960 just went

00:56:54.360 away.

00:56:55.380 And the

00:56:55.700 trees just

00:56:56.200 like opened

00:56:58.000 up, and

00:56:58.780 you could see

00:56:59.200 12 years

00:56:59.840 ahead.

00:57:01.600 Did anybody

00:57:02.080 else have

00:57:02.420 that experience?

00:57:03.700 Where the

00:57:04.400 moment you

00:57:04.860 heard Trump

00:57:05.520 say something

00:57:06.100 positive about

00:57:06.960 Vivek, you

00:57:08.500 could see 12

00:57:09.300 years ahead.

00:57:11.920 That's what it

00:57:12.660 felt like.

00:57:13.160 I've only

00:57:14.240 had this

00:57:14.680 feeling once,

00:57:17.160 2015.

00:57:19.540 That was the

00:57:20.240 only time I

00:57:20.840 thought, oh

00:57:21.560 my God, I'm

00:57:22.080 not predicting

00:57:22.680 the future, I'm

00:57:23.300 actually looking

00:57:23.820 at it.

00:57:24.980 So when I

00:57:26.100 made my

00:57:26.600 famous call

00:57:27.440 that Trump

00:57:27.820 would win

00:57:28.160 in 2016,

00:57:30.100 internally it

00:57:31.260 did not feel

00:57:31.880 like a

00:57:32.200 prediction, and

00:57:33.400 I've never

00:57:33.740 had that

00:57:34.080 experience before.

00:57:35.840 It felt like

00:57:36.580 I was looking

00:57:37.200 at it, and

00:57:39.020 that just

00:57:39.520 happened again.

00:57:40.460 I did not

00:57:41.120 have that

00:57:41.520 experience in

00:57:42.420 the last

00:57:42.820 election.

00:57:43.920 In the last

00:57:44.540 election I

00:57:45.040 was making

00:57:45.420 sort of a

00:57:46.380 pundit

00:57:46.900 prediction based

00:57:48.200 on the facts,

00:57:49.380 you know, as

00:57:50.840 best I could.

00:57:52.040 And it was

00:57:52.440 wrong.

00:57:53.340 It was

00:57:53.580 wrong.

00:57:54.500 But I

00:57:55.820 swear as

00:57:56.500 soon as

00:57:57.260 Trump gave

00:57:59.040 Vivek that

00:57:59.880 little bit of

00:58:00.460 positive words,

00:58:03.620 12 years,

00:58:05.580 you could see

00:58:05.980 it.

00:58:06.740 You could see

00:58:07.220 all 12

00:58:07.900 years.

00:58:09.780 Now you

00:58:10.520 say, but

00:58:10.980 unless the

00:58:11.380 elections are

00:58:11.920 rigged.

00:58:12.420 Maybe.

00:58:14.540 And of

00:58:14.900 course, this

00:58:16.320 all depends

00:58:16.920 on Trump

00:58:17.820 not getting

00:58:19.260 himself in

00:58:19.820 any new

00:58:20.160 trouble, and

00:58:21.200 that the

00:58:21.500 trouble that's

00:58:22.360 already coming

00:58:22.880 at him doesn't

00:58:23.700 take him out.

00:58:24.500 So those are

00:58:24.980 big ifs.

00:58:25.940 Those are

00:58:26.220 really big ifs.

00:58:27.300 But I'll tell

00:58:27.820 you, it doesn't

00:58:28.920 feel like a

00:58:29.440 prediction anymore.

00:58:30.960 It feels like I

00:58:31.920 can see it.

00:58:33.440 That's only

00:58:33.960 happened once

00:58:34.540 before.

00:58:35.440 So we'll see

00:58:35.980 if it means

00:58:36.340 anything.

00:58:38.460 All right, I

00:58:39.180 thought this was

00:58:39.700 funny.

00:58:40.020 There was a

00:58:41.320 woman who

00:58:41.720 tweeted, name

00:58:42.900 is Chandler

00:58:43.900 Remington.

00:58:45.000 Chandler.

00:58:45.600 Chandler

00:58:46.140 Remington, which

00:58:47.440 is one of the

00:58:48.020 all-time best

00:58:48.840 names.

00:58:50.360 Chandler

00:58:50.940 Remington.

00:58:52.600 Oh my, come

00:58:53.240 on.

00:58:54.280 You know, you're

00:58:54.700 going to be

00:58:55.480 something with

00:58:56.140 that name,

00:58:56.600 right?

00:58:57.620 Like, you

00:58:58.160 never hear the

00:58:58.920 homeless shelter.

00:59:00.400 Who's in the

00:59:00.980 homeless shelter?

00:59:02.000 Well, Chandler

00:59:03.360 Remington just

00:59:04.140 came in.

00:59:05.020 No.

00:59:05.860 No, Chandler was

00:59:06.740 going to do

00:59:07.940 something.

00:59:08.280 Anyway, she

00:59:09.620 went to a, what

00:59:10.440 she calls a

00:59:10.940 feminist therapist

00:59:11.860 and says the

00:59:13.320 feminist therapist

00:59:14.340 did the

00:59:15.020 following.

00:59:16.180 Described a

00:59:16.920 man I had

00:59:17.440 been in a

00:59:17.920 relationship with

00:59:19.000 as predatory

00:59:19.920 when all of

00:59:21.180 our interactions

00:59:21.900 had been

00:59:22.360 consensual.

00:59:24.000 Two, blamed

00:59:25.020 the patriarchy

00:59:26.040 for problems

00:59:27.120 in my life

00:59:27.820 which stemmed

00:59:28.480 completely from

00:59:29.260 women.

00:59:32.480 And three,

00:59:33.840 made general

00:59:34.480 negative statements

00:59:35.300 about men,

00:59:36.400 portraying them

00:59:37.060 as liars or

00:59:37.940 deceptive for

00:59:38.660 no good reason.

00:59:40.160 So based on all

00:59:40.880 of the above,

00:59:41.500 I'm starting

00:59:41.840 therapy with a

00:59:42.620 new male

00:59:43.300 therapist on

00:59:44.300 Monday.

00:59:44.740 Wish me luck.

00:59:48.060 Yeah.

00:59:48.940 I would never

00:59:49.900 go to a

00:59:51.500 marriage therapist

00:59:52.680 if I were you.

00:59:53.720 Certainly wouldn't

00:59:54.380 go to a female

00:59:55.140 marriage therapist

00:59:56.000 for the same

00:59:56.620 reason.

00:59:57.680 Basically, this was

00:59:58.880 my same experience.

01:00:00.540 I had the same

01:00:01.120 experience.

01:00:02.300 Now, the

01:00:02.960 examples I didn't

01:00:03.800 have, so these

01:00:04.600 are different

01:00:04.980 examples.

01:00:05.380 But my

01:00:06.320 experience was,

01:00:07.960 oh my God,

01:00:08.780 this is somebody

01:00:09.400 who likes women

01:00:10.080 and hates men.

01:00:11.680 Like, right off

01:00:12.420 the bat, I

01:00:14.320 thought I got a

01:00:14.960 man-hater, and

01:00:16.340 it went that

01:00:16.880 way.

01:00:18.000 It really went

01:00:18.820 that way.

01:00:19.700 Now, that's my

01:00:20.500 subjective opinion,

01:00:21.680 right?

01:00:22.900 Subjectively.

01:00:23.980 But I was told

01:00:24.820 that I couldn't

01:00:25.440 have an objection

01:00:29.780 to how my mate

01:00:31.840 acted, but she

01:00:32.720 could have

01:00:33.080 objections to

01:00:33.780 how I acted.

01:00:36.160 And that was

01:00:36.880 the rule, and

01:00:37.920 if you tried to

01:00:38.640 break that rule,

01:00:39.580 then everything

01:00:40.160 stopped.

01:00:41.820 Only one person

01:00:42.840 could have

01:00:43.180 objections with

01:00:43.920 the other.

01:00:44.360 That was

01:00:44.800 actually the

01:00:45.280 rule.

01:00:47.440 Because if I

01:00:48.200 had objections,

01:00:48.880 I was trying

01:00:49.240 to change

01:00:49.720 her.

01:00:50.980 But if she

01:00:51.480 had objections,

01:00:52.300 it was because

01:00:52.700 I was being

01:00:53.140 an asshole.

01:00:55.260 That was

01:00:56.000 like, actually

01:00:56.660 my experience.

01:00:59.040 And how

01:01:00.180 would that

01:01:00.440 possibly work?

01:01:01.880 How, in what

01:01:02.620 world could that

01:01:03.300 work?

01:01:04.040 To like, make

01:01:04.980 you, anyway, so

01:01:07.080 I agreed with

01:01:07.500 her.

01:01:09.240 Elon Musk also

01:01:10.540 weighed in on

01:01:11.160 that, and he

01:01:12.000 said, friends are

01:01:12.900 far better than

01:01:13.500 therapy.

01:01:14.380 The incentive

01:01:14.960 structure is to

01:01:15.780 keep you hooked

01:01:16.400 and never cured.

01:01:17.760 That's basically

01:01:18.660 the whole problem

01:01:19.540 right there.

01:01:21.420 Therapists don't

01:01:22.380 want to fix you.

01:01:23.820 Because I often

01:01:24.580 thought, even

01:01:25.640 when I went to

01:01:26.500 therapy, I

01:01:27.060 thought, this

01:01:28.660 could get fixed

01:01:29.320 in like two

01:01:30.160 sentences.

01:01:30.740 Right?

01:01:32.380 This could get

01:01:32.940 fixed in two

01:01:33.640 sentences.

01:01:34.720 You just find

01:01:35.580 the problem and

01:01:36.480 tell us what to

01:01:37.080 do differently, and

01:01:37.920 we'll go do

01:01:38.360 that, about

01:01:38.920 what we'll be

01:01:39.280 fine.

01:01:40.280 Could not

01:01:40.740 find the

01:01:42.100 problem.

01:01:42.960 Just kept

01:01:43.400 looking.

01:01:45.000 Except the

01:01:45.480 problem is

01:01:45.880 something about

01:01:46.360 me, I

01:01:46.740 guess.

01:01:48.840 Yeah, it's

01:01:49.660 follow the

01:01:50.380 money here.

01:01:50.980 You're not

01:01:51.260 going to get

01:01:51.800 any cures from

01:01:52.940 people who

01:01:53.320 are charged

01:01:53.620 by the

01:01:53.880 hour.

01:01:57.240 And then

01:01:57.580 Musk went

01:01:58.080 on, he

01:01:58.340 said, be

01:01:58.640 especially wary

01:01:59.420 of therapists

01:02:00.100 in expensive

01:02:01.200 neighborhoods.

01:02:02.400 Their true

01:02:02.820 loyalty is to

01:02:03.740 their landlord,

01:02:04.620 not you.

01:02:05.960 That's so

01:02:06.600 brutal.

01:02:07.480 Their loyalty

01:02:08.040 is to their

01:02:08.580 landlord.

01:02:10.680 Completely

01:02:11.240 true.

01:02:12.780 All right.

01:02:15.060 There's a

01:02:15.700 report that

01:02:16.360 Tucker Carlson's

01:02:17.640 going to, you've

01:02:18.720 already heard,

01:02:19.320 might do his

01:02:20.080 show on

01:02:21.460 Twitter exclusively,

01:02:22.880 I guess.

01:02:23.900 But he's

01:02:24.740 reportedly also

01:02:25.840 got a big

01:02:26.620 sponsor for that

01:02:27.680 called Public

01:02:28.820 Square.

01:02:29.240 and they're

01:02:30.560 a conservative

01:02:31.220 friendly shopping

01:02:32.140 app.

01:02:32.960 So they're a

01:02:33.420 shopping app that

01:02:34.480 shows you

01:02:35.140 products from

01:02:35.900 non-ESG

01:02:37.560 companies.

01:02:40.220 I think I'm

01:02:41.180 going to use

01:02:41.540 this.

01:02:43.260 Good enough.

01:02:45.340 You had me

01:02:46.120 at non-ESG

01:02:49.780 shopping apps.

01:02:51.060 Now, I

01:02:54.100 don't think

01:02:54.640 necessarily this

01:02:56.540 one app is

01:02:57.140 going to make a

01:02:57.640 difference, but

01:02:58.500 it's more to

01:02:59.120 the point that

01:02:59.820 ESG is now a

01:03:00.980 dead man

01:03:01.560 walking.

01:03:02.440 I mean, it's

01:03:02.680 just embarrassing

01:03:03.280 if you're still

01:03:03.960 in favor of it

01:03:04.560 at this point.

01:03:07.120 China's economy

01:03:07.880 is not bouncing

01:03:08.700 back after the

01:03:09.800 lockdown, and

01:03:13.000 people are

01:03:13.440 wondering, why?

01:03:14.240 Why?

01:03:14.760 Why are they not

01:03:15.540 bouncing back?

01:03:16.280 Why is the

01:03:16.680 economy lagging?

01:03:18.700 Well, it's

01:03:19.020 because they

01:03:19.340 pissed me off,

01:03:20.240 obviously.

01:03:21.160 There might be

01:03:21.740 other reasons,

01:03:22.320 but that's the

01:03:22.700 main one.

01:03:23.020 In Ukraine,

01:03:25.400 there was a

01:03:25.980 main bridge,

01:03:27.820 I guess,

01:03:28.140 to Crimea,

01:03:29.440 the main

01:03:30.520 bridge that

01:03:31.260 Russia used

01:03:33.500 to supply

01:03:34.520 Crimea,

01:03:36.420 and apparently

01:03:38.020 there was a

01:03:38.760 submarine drone

01:03:40.380 attack, so a

01:03:41.720 submarine that

01:03:42.340 was operated

01:03:42.900 remotely.

01:03:44.400 There were two

01:03:45.000 of them, and

01:03:45.440 they went in

01:03:45.860 there and did

01:03:47.500 some stuff and

01:03:48.160 blew up part of

01:03:48.860 the bridge,

01:03:49.180 bridge, but

01:03:49.740 it didn't blow

01:03:51.120 up the railroad

01:03:52.780 part of the

01:03:53.440 bridge.

01:03:54.420 So the bridge

01:03:54.980 had a car

01:03:56.320 part and a

01:03:57.260 railroad part,

01:03:58.380 and it blew

01:03:58.880 up the car

01:03:59.360 part that

01:03:59.820 didn't make

01:04:00.160 much difference,

01:04:01.100 and it left

01:04:01.620 the rail part

01:04:02.540 intact.

01:04:04.200 And here's my

01:04:05.140 question.

01:04:06.460 How in the

01:04:07.120 world are

01:04:08.000 railroads still

01:04:09.720 operating anywhere

01:04:10.900 near a war

01:04:12.440 zone?

01:04:14.860 A railroad?

01:04:17.640 How in the

01:04:18.440 world?

01:04:19.180 Can you not

01:04:20.240 take out

01:04:20.700 railroads?

01:04:22.520 I would think

01:04:23.340 that would be

01:04:23.740 the single

01:04:24.400 easiest thing

01:04:25.220 you could do.

01:04:26.400 I can't even

01:04:26.940 imagine anything

01:04:27.580 easier than

01:04:28.100 taking out a

01:04:28.660 railroad, because

01:04:29.600 railroads would

01:04:30.260 have massive

01:04:31.560 lengths of

01:04:32.660 track that

01:04:34.500 nobody's watching.

01:04:37.320 Can't one

01:04:37.940 person take

01:04:38.600 out a railroad?

01:04:41.540 Just, you

01:04:42.220 know, just

01:04:42.520 ruin the tracks

01:04:43.320 a little bit

01:04:43.840 in one area?

01:04:45.280 I don't, every

01:04:46.660 once in a while

01:04:47.200 I just don't

01:04:47.740 understand.

01:04:48.160 I also don't

01:04:49.680 understand why

01:04:50.600 Islamic terror

01:04:52.480 attacks have

01:04:53.760 largely stopped

01:04:54.700 in the United

01:04:55.280 States.

01:04:57.040 How is that

01:04:57.800 even possible?

01:04:59.500 Unless they

01:05:00.600 have so much,

01:05:01.860 unless our

01:05:02.260 government has

01:05:02.740 so much control

01:05:03.480 of our

01:05:03.840 communications that

01:05:05.320 just nobody can

01:05:06.040 put together a

01:05:06.720 scheme.

01:05:08.600 But how in the

01:05:09.840 world are there

01:05:10.980 still railroads in

01:05:12.380 Ukraine or any

01:05:13.900 part of Russia

01:05:14.500 that's close to

01:05:15.340 Ukraine?

01:05:15.740 I don't

01:05:16.480 understand it.

01:05:18.700 Anyway, all

01:05:19.540 those bombs that

01:05:20.280 nobody could take

01:05:20.860 out of railroad,

01:05:21.720 the main thing

01:05:22.900 that delivers

01:05:23.500 ammunition.

01:05:25.260 So the primary

01:05:25.980 thing that delivers

01:05:26.820 ammunition, and

01:05:27.700 they're still

01:05:28.180 operating.

01:05:30.180 What's going on?

01:05:33.160 All right.

01:05:35.180 I think that's

01:05:38.880 all I got.

01:05:39.400 that's all I

01:05:41.280 needed, because

01:05:42.200 it was the best

01:05:42.840 live stream you've

01:05:43.900 ever seen today.

01:05:46.080 And maybe tomorrow

01:05:46.960 will be even

01:05:47.440 better.

01:05:48.920 So let's go

01:05:51.020 continue being

01:05:51.880 awesome.

01:05:52.360 And I think

01:05:53.620 everything's starting

01:05:54.360 to look good.

01:05:58.340 Maybe the golden

01:05:59.300 age?

01:06:00.480 Too soon?

01:06:02.180 Yeah, Andrew

01:06:02.780 Tate's getting

01:06:03.400 some heavy

01:06:04.700 pushback on

01:06:05.520 social media,

01:06:06.320 if you haven't

01:06:06.860 seen it.

01:06:08.240 So if you're

01:06:10.340 watching that

01:06:10.780 story, I'd

01:06:11.340 recommend

01:06:11.780 watching both

01:06:13.740 sides.

01:06:15.340 You should hear

01:06:15.800 what Andrew

01:06:16.620 Tate says,

01:06:18.080 but you should

01:06:18.520 hear what

01:06:18.860 detractors say.

01:06:21.320 Because what

01:06:21.920 detractors say is

01:06:23.420 primarily video

01:06:25.880 and audio of

01:06:26.940 Andrew Tate in

01:06:27.880 his own voice.

01:06:29.460 So you want to

01:06:30.480 hear him saying

01:06:31.100 he's going to do

01:06:31.860 exactly the

01:06:32.640 lover boy thing,

01:06:33.500 and he's been

01:06:33.980 doing a lot of

01:06:34.640 it, and then

01:06:36.940 defending that

01:06:38.180 he's doing it,

01:06:39.020 saying that he

01:06:39.520 didn't do it.

01:06:40.720 So he's on

01:06:41.400 video saying that

01:06:42.920 he was doing it

01:06:43.540 massively, and

01:06:44.400 also that all

01:06:46.080 it is is that

01:06:46.800 he was being

01:06:47.200 nice to women,

01:06:47.920 and they like

01:06:48.920 to work webcams.

01:06:51.440 So you decide.

01:06:53.420 You be the

01:06:54.040 decision maker.

01:06:55.640 I don't know if

01:06:56.340 what he did was

01:06:58.000 illegal anywhere

01:06:59.460 except Romania.

01:07:01.260 So Romania has

01:07:02.140 a specific law

01:07:03.200 where the

01:07:04.320 Romanians can

01:07:05.160 tell you that

01:07:05.740 the women were

01:07:06.340 victims even if

01:07:07.180 the women say

01:07:07.780 they were not.

01:07:08.980 So that's a

01:07:09.380 weird law.

01:07:10.640 So if I had to

01:07:11.980 bet, I'm going

01:07:13.060 to bet he gets

01:07:15.460 out of his legal

01:07:16.240 troubles.

01:07:17.880 Unless it's

01:07:18.580 rigged.

01:07:19.480 And it might

01:07:19.980 be.

01:07:20.620 There's a good

01:07:21.180 50% chance of

01:07:22.320 that, I would

01:07:22.740 think.

01:07:23.780 But I think

01:07:24.660 he would be

01:07:25.380 able to

01:07:25.680 persuade his

01:07:26.320 way out just

01:07:26.880 because he's

01:07:27.240 a good

01:07:27.480 persuader.

01:07:29.520 Regardless of

01:07:30.160 whether the

01:07:30.840 law was

01:07:31.240 technically broken

01:07:32.060 or not.

01:07:32.880 I think he's

01:07:33.880 going to get

01:07:34.200 out of it.

01:07:34.940 Now, does

01:07:35.300 Romania have

01:07:36.000 the equivalent

01:07:37.480 of a Supreme

01:07:38.220 Court?

01:07:40.540 Who can tell

01:07:41.320 me?

01:07:42.080 Do they have

01:07:42.500 the equivalent

01:07:43.080 of an appeals

01:07:44.100 court?

01:07:44.460 Because if they

01:07:47.640 do, that's

01:07:48.040 probably where

01:07:48.480 it ends up.

01:07:49.000 I don't

01:07:51.600 imagine the

01:07:52.400 regular court

01:07:53.340 would necessarily

01:07:54.400 make the right

01:07:54.980 decision, but

01:07:55.700 if there's

01:07:56.140 some kind of

01:07:56.560 appeals, I

01:07:57.900 would like his

01:07:58.700 chances in

01:07:59.280 appeals.

01:08:00.820 Scott, do

01:08:01.680 you have

01:08:01.960 rental property?

01:08:03.000 I do not.

01:08:04.260 I don't own

01:08:04.820 any rental

01:08:05.280 property.

01:08:08.020 I own my

01:08:09.180 house.

01:08:09.740 I have one

01:08:10.120 house, one

01:08:12.100 automobile, and

01:08:16.540 a lot of

01:08:17.080 index funds.

01:08:19.000 That's about

01:08:19.760 it.

01:08:22.240 That's pretty

01:08:22.960 much my entire

01:08:23.760 situation.

01:08:26.080 All right,

01:08:26.700 that's all we

01:08:27.920 need, and

01:08:28.940 two electric

01:08:30.240 bikes.

01:08:31.020 I do have

01:08:31.840 two electric

01:08:32.360 bikes, so I

01:08:33.500 splurged.

01:08:34.620 The first one

01:08:35.200 wasn't good.

01:08:36.220 I bought my

01:08:36.640 first one during

01:08:37.280 the height of

01:08:37.780 the pandemic,

01:08:38.900 and the

01:08:40.120 pandemic, all

01:08:41.560 the bikes were

01:08:42.220 purchased, so I

01:08:43.600 couldn't get what

01:08:44.280 I wanted.

01:08:45.320 I couldn't get

01:08:46.100 one that looked

01:08:46.800 cool, which is

01:08:48.100 half of owning

01:08:48.740 an e-bike, is

01:08:49.400 they look

01:08:49.720 cool.

01:08:50.580 I had to

01:08:51.220 get one that

01:08:51.640 looked really

01:08:52.460 kind of

01:08:53.560 conservative and

01:08:54.520 boring, so

01:08:55.740 immediately, as

01:08:56.660 soon as the

01:08:57.160 supply went up,

01:08:58.180 I got one that

01:08:59.620 looks cool.

01:09:01.320 So that's it

01:09:02.740 for me.

01:09:03.300 Bye, YouTube.

01:09:04.180 Thanks for

01:09:04.940 watching.
