Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2174 Scott Adams： The News Is Full Of Absurdities & Hypocrites, Goes Well With Coffee

00:00:00.660 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:06.420 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you're lucky enough to be joining it.

00:00:11.320 If you'd like to take this to levels that even Elon Musk couldn't reach with the biggest rocket,

00:00:17.560 well, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,

00:00:20.980 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:24.580 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:27.560 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day.

00:00:31.940 The thing makes everything better. It's called the Simultaneous Sip.

00:00:36.220 Go.

00:00:41.200 Ah, very good. Very, very good.

00:00:46.760 Well, do you want to talk about some news, or should I just make some stuff up today?

00:00:52.500 Because it would look exactly the same.

00:00:54.580 The news is so ridiculous, especially lately, because it's the summer.

00:01:01.320 Summer news and a political season.

00:01:03.920 It does not get more ridiculous than that.

00:01:07.980 But before we talk about the news, I have to give you a preview of the Dilbert Reborn strip this week.

00:01:15.040 And today he got kicked off.

00:01:17.440 Dilbert is in an Elbonian jail.

00:01:20.220 He's in an Elbonian jail, but he's not alone.

00:01:22.940 He's sharing his jail cell with the Tate brothers.

00:01:27.940 So they'll be teaching him how to be a man.

00:01:30.500 So the first of that rant today, you have to be a subscriber to see it.

00:01:33.560 Subscribe on Twitter or scottadams.locals.com

00:01:37.900 to see all of that.

00:01:39.620 Now, if you think that any of those comics that are coming in the next week or so

00:01:44.240 could have been in newspapers, you'd be wrong.

00:01:49.380 None of them could be in newspapers.

00:01:51.840 But they're a little edgy.

00:01:54.320 Well, speaking of edgy,

00:01:57.760 De Anza College, which is just down the road from me,

00:02:01.160 they fired their equity director, who is black,

00:02:09.480 and she was fired for being too much of a white supremacist.

00:02:13.640 And she was accused of whitesplaining,

00:02:17.040 for questioning some of the institution's inclusion policies.

00:02:21.640 That's right.

00:02:22.820 She was literally fired for not being anti-white enough.

00:02:26.900 I think, I mean, that's my interpretation,

00:02:31.040 after reading the story,

00:02:32.480 it looked like she just wasn't anti-white enough.

00:02:34.960 And even though she is black,

00:02:37.900 she was some kind of a white supremacist,

00:02:40.580 I guess the way she did her business.

00:02:42.600 Apparently she was taking her job seriously,

00:02:45.900 and they couldn't have that.

00:02:48.440 She actually tried to do the actual real job

00:02:51.000 of making things equitable,

00:02:53.400 and then realized she couldn't do that and keep her job,

00:02:56.580 so she got fired.

00:02:58.360 Oh, well.

00:03:00.900 You think that's absurd?

00:03:03.120 Oh, I'm just getting started.

00:03:05.760 Everything today is just absurd.

00:03:09.260 All you can do is laugh at it.

00:03:12.080 Often I'll wake up and I'll be incensed.

00:03:14.500 Oh, I'm incensed over this story.

00:03:17.200 I've got to do something.

00:03:18.760 I better get involved.

00:03:19.720 I better send a tweet.

00:03:21.420 But today it's just all silly,

00:03:23.140 silly summer bullshit.

00:03:25.660 Right?

00:03:25.820 Here's another one.

00:03:27.600 You know, we were all worried about that third party

00:03:30.800 called No Labels,

00:03:33.780 and Manchin was talking to them,

00:03:37.000 and Joe Lieberman's involved,

00:03:38.960 and people are thinking,

00:03:40.400 oh, no, oh, no.

00:03:42.300 This No Labels third party group,

00:03:44.920 they're going to take votes away from some group,

00:03:47.300 and in that way they will determine the election.

00:03:50.260 So if they decide to have a serious candidate,

00:03:54.040 they will be the only ones who determine who wins the election,

00:03:57.620 and that would be bad.

00:03:58.300 But it turns out you don't have to worry about that

00:04:00.440 because Mr. Lieberman said,

00:04:06.860 you know, he wanted to respond to that.

00:04:08.240 It's a legitimate concern

00:04:09.700 that the third party could determine the outcome

00:04:12.500 and wouldn't be the third party candidate.

00:04:16.160 But Mr. Lieberman said,

00:04:19.320 quote,

00:04:20.200 we're not in this to be spoilers.

00:04:23.720 And he went on, he said,

00:04:25.220 if the polling next year shows,

00:04:27.660 after the two parties have chosen their nominees,

00:04:30.820 then in fact we will help elect one or another candidate,

00:04:34.260 we're not going to get involved.

00:04:38.320 Wait, what?

00:04:40.060 So it's a third party,

00:04:42.280 it's a third party that won't actually run a candidate

00:04:46.680 if they think they can make a difference in the election.

00:04:54.460 So it's actually,

00:04:55.520 he got people to join the political party

00:04:57.920 whose stated mission is to not make a difference

00:05:01.780 under the condition which is 99.999% to be likely.

00:05:10.500 So in the 0.0001%

00:05:14.220 that we can come up with some way

00:05:16.780 that a third party would make no difference whatsoever,

00:05:19.680 we'll run.

00:05:21.280 As long as it makes no difference.

00:05:23.720 But by the way,

00:05:24.620 you should donate some money

00:05:25.740 to our effort to make no difference.

00:05:28.880 And we promise you

00:05:30.020 that the moment we think will make a difference,

00:05:32.780 we're out.

00:05:34.020 We're out.

00:05:36.400 Doesn't that sound like I made that up?

00:05:39.900 Doesn't it sound exactly like

00:05:41.740 I just made that up?

00:05:43.720 It's actually a real story.

00:05:45.720 That's real.

00:05:47.600 They're actually not going to get involved

00:05:49.640 if it will matter.

00:05:51.700 What can I add to that?

00:05:57.760 You know, normally,

00:05:58.640 this is the part in the story

00:06:00.200 where I read you the story

00:06:02.600 and then I add my clever spin to it,

00:06:05.500 you know?

00:06:06.120 I reframe it a little bit,

00:06:07.960 make it turn this thing

00:06:09.780 that's not too crazy

00:06:10.920 into something that's totally crazy.

00:06:13.480 I got nothing.

00:06:15.320 I got nothing on this.

00:06:17.880 So we'll move on.

00:06:19.200 We'll move on.

00:06:19.760 Well, I'm going to send you

00:06:22.880 the answer mentally

00:06:23.960 to the question

00:06:24.640 I have not yet asked.

00:06:26.440 Go.

00:06:27.920 Answer is?

00:06:30.180 Exactly.

00:06:31.740 Now, no matter how many times

00:06:33.040 I demonstrate

00:06:33.640 the brilliance of my audience,

00:06:36.620 I don't think

00:06:37.460 we can appreciate enough

00:06:39.160 how smart you are.

00:06:40.520 Yeah.

00:06:41.020 You just all got the right answer

00:06:43.100 before I ask the question.

00:06:45.340 Rasmussen did a poll

00:06:47.800 in which they were trying

00:06:49.960 to find out

00:06:50.620 if people think that

00:06:52.580 Congress represents the people

00:06:55.060 or does Congress,

00:06:56.840 you know,

00:06:57.340 alternatively,

00:06:58.580 represent themselves

00:06:59.700 or some shadowy,

00:07:01.580 I don't know,

00:07:02.200 something else.

00:07:03.880 But 25% of voters

00:07:06.440 believe the federal government

00:07:07.680 today has the consent

00:07:09.580 of the governed,

00:07:10.680 meaning that the governed

00:07:12.560 are quite happy

00:07:14.040 with what they're doing.

00:07:15.600 25%.

00:07:16.120 Exactly 25%.

00:07:18.240 Now,

00:07:21.000 is anybody new

00:07:22.140 to the live cast?

00:07:23.940 Was that amazing?

00:07:26.320 I can do this

00:07:27.360 over and over again.

00:07:29.420 Probably two,

00:07:30.320 three times a week,

00:07:31.820 I will ask for the answer

00:07:34.260 before I've asked the question

00:07:36.340 and the audience

00:07:37.260 nails it every time.

00:07:39.140 Have you ever seen

00:07:40.000 such amazingness?

00:07:40.960 No,

00:07:41.220 never.

00:07:43.100 All right.

00:07:45.020 Apparently,

00:07:45.580 there's a rare public speech,

00:07:47.120 they call it rare,

00:07:47.820 from the top

00:07:48.560 of the British spy agency.

00:07:51.660 You know them

00:07:52.300 as MI6.

00:07:54.540 MI6.

00:07:55.480 Because you watch

00:07:56.020 James Bond,

00:07:56.940 so you know all about it.

00:07:58.640 And the top person

00:08:00.280 has a letter

00:08:01.280 for a designator.

00:08:03.300 You know,

00:08:03.540 if you watch

00:08:03.920 James Bond,

00:08:04.720 there's Q,

00:08:05.840 and there's M.

00:08:07.300 But I guess

00:08:07.800 the real head

00:08:08.460 is named C.

00:08:10.680 I'm not going to ask you

00:08:11.740 what the C stands for.

00:08:13.660 I suppose it depends

00:08:14.660 how he's doing that day.

00:08:16.540 But the real name

00:08:18.360 of C,

00:08:20.060 the head of MI6,

00:08:21.220 is Richard Moore.

00:08:22.720 Richard Moore.

00:08:24.480 His friends

00:08:25.160 call him Dick.

00:08:28.740 So when they do

00:08:29.840 attendance at his school,

00:08:32.560 they say,

00:08:33.540 Moore,

00:08:34.300 Dick.

00:08:35.320 Moore,

00:08:35.780 Dick.

00:08:37.620 That's what they say.

00:08:39.940 Yeah,

00:08:40.300 Dick Moore.

00:08:41.700 Anyway,

00:08:42.340 so Dick Moore

00:08:43.020 gave a speech

00:08:44.180 and he said that

00:08:44.940 he's all confused

00:08:47.420 about the

00:08:47.980 Prigozhin situation.

00:08:50.020 He believes that

00:08:51.040 Putin had tea

00:08:52.800 with Prigozhin

00:08:53.840 and that

00:08:55.100 they don't have

00:08:56.040 any information

00:08:56.740 about him,

00:08:58.160 but they think

00:08:58.740 he might be just

00:08:59.340 floating around

00:08:59.940 somewhere in Russia.

00:09:02.840 That's right.

00:09:03.340 the head of MI6

00:09:05.300 said publicly

00:09:06.220 they think

00:09:08.480 he's floating around.

00:09:10.420 Today on Twitter

00:09:13.000 somebody said

00:09:13.680 that my prediction

00:09:14.460 was wrong.

00:09:15.680 He's totally alive

00:09:16.740 and he just did

00:09:18.300 an interview,

00:09:19.120 audio,

00:09:19.900 audio only,

00:09:21.660 about

00:09:22.280 Wagner forces

00:09:24.120 in Africa.

00:09:26.960 And I'm pretty sure

00:09:28.180 it was totally him

00:09:29.320 and he's totally alive

00:09:30.400 and I do believe

00:09:31.880 he's in his RV.

00:09:33.580 He's just cruising

00:09:34.400 around Russia.

00:09:35.680 Everybody's leaving

00:09:36.440 him alone

00:09:36.940 and I think that's good.

00:09:38.720 Quite unexpected,

00:09:40.060 wasn't it?

00:09:40.460 Yeah,

00:09:41.700 he's having tea

00:09:43.040 with Putin

00:09:43.700 and they're just

00:09:44.940 talking about things.

00:09:46.640 How was the coup?

00:09:47.660 Well,

00:09:47.980 I gave him

00:09:48.520 my best try.

00:09:50.060 Ha ha ha ha.

00:09:51.580 Yes,

00:09:52.080 you gave me

00:09:53.360 quite a scare there,

00:09:54.700 Prig.

00:09:55.480 For a moment there

00:09:56.600 I thought you were

00:09:57.200 going to overthrow

00:09:57.980 the country

00:09:58.500 and kill me,

00:09:59.680 but I'm glad

00:10:00.520 that wasn't happening.

00:10:01.980 So,

00:10:02.420 gas up your RV

00:10:04.180 and have fun.

00:10:06.060 so does anybody

00:10:08.920 want to bet

00:10:09.440 against me

00:10:10.020 and tell me

00:10:12.120 he's still alive?

00:10:13.440 He might be alive,

00:10:15.220 alive and in custody,

00:10:18.080 being interrogated,

00:10:19.880 but I don't think

00:10:21.420 he's drinking

00:10:21.840 tea with Putin.

00:10:23.900 I just don't think

00:10:24.820 he's drinking

00:10:25.220 tea with Putin.

00:10:27.980 All right,

00:10:28.920 that's enough

00:10:29.520 from Mordick.

00:10:34.640 Let's talk about

00:10:35.920 the prosecution

00:10:39.160 and indictments

00:10:40.200 against President Trump.

00:10:42.640 So now we've got,

00:10:43.760 there's a whole bunch

00:10:44.800 of complicated charges

00:10:46.060 around January 6th.

00:10:48.400 Complicated meaning

00:10:49.440 the citizens

00:10:50.620 who are not lawyers

00:10:51.940 are really going to

00:10:53.560 follow that story

00:10:54.380 too well.

00:10:55.640 Like,

00:10:56.040 wait,

00:10:56.260 he did what

00:10:57.020 and when

00:10:57.820 and is that a crime?

00:10:59.380 I didn't even know

00:10:59.940 that was illegal

00:11:00.580 and why are you

00:11:01.700 saying that?

00:11:02.720 So it's going to be

00:11:03.580 all this complicated

00:11:04.820 January 6th stuff.

00:11:07.380 And then there's

00:11:08.320 the Mar-a-Lago boxes.

00:11:11.100 So he's got

00:11:11.900 Boxgate,

00:11:13.380 which will

00:11:14.040 entirely depend

00:11:15.720 on complicated

00:11:16.860 legal arguments

00:11:18.580 that you and I

00:11:19.500 don't quite follow.

00:11:21.940 Right?

00:11:22.040 But I feel like

00:11:24.460 I'm just tired

00:11:26.880 of calling these

00:11:27.740 legal problems.

00:11:30.220 Technically,

00:11:30.900 they are legal problems.

00:11:32.680 But they're just

00:11:33.520 election rigging

00:11:34.380 in my view.

00:11:35.720 At least in my

00:11:36.400 normal,

00:11:37.600 common sense

00:11:38.300 view of things.

00:11:39.440 I just see it

00:11:40.360 as election rigging.

00:11:42.200 Because there's not

00:11:43.160 even the slightest

00:11:44.060 part of me

00:11:44.620 that thinks

00:11:45.100 any of this

00:11:45.660 would happen

00:11:46.160 if it had been

00:11:46.880 Joe Biden.

00:11:48.320 Do you?

00:11:48.680 If you just

00:11:50.260 switch down

00:11:50.760 Trump or Biden,

00:11:51.580 do you think

00:11:51.900 there would be

00:11:52.180 any charges?

00:11:53.560 I don't think

00:11:54.300 anybody does.

00:11:55.540 I don't think

00:11:55.960 there's anybody

00:11:56.440 in the country,

00:11:57.740 left or right,

00:11:59.120 who believes

00:11:59.660 Biden would be

00:12:00.420 charged for

00:12:01.000 any of this.

00:12:02.780 Now,

00:12:03.560 I'd like to

00:12:04.280 give a moment

00:12:04.780 for the NPCs.

00:12:07.240 NPCs,

00:12:07.700 I know there

00:12:08.080 are many of you.

00:12:09.020 Would you like

00:12:09.680 to say your

00:12:10.660 NPC thing now

00:12:11.680 where you say

00:12:12.620 nobody is

00:12:13.820 above the law?

00:12:14.720 If you'd like

00:12:16.020 to say it,

00:12:16.540 I'd like to

00:12:17.080 bring in

00:12:18.660 Dale.

00:12:19.800 Dale will say

00:12:20.580 it with you

00:12:21.100 so that you

00:12:22.080 can all

00:12:22.640 say it together.

00:12:23.720 All right,

00:12:23.920 all of the NPCs,

00:12:25.900 most of you

00:12:26.740 can sit this out.

00:12:27.660 I know most

00:12:28.120 of you are real.

00:12:29.240 But the NPCs

00:12:30.320 are going to need

00:12:30.800 this together.

00:12:32.240 NPCs,

00:12:32.840 say it.

00:12:34.420 Nobody's

00:12:34.800 above the law.

00:12:36.400 Nobody's

00:12:36.760 above the law.

00:12:38.640 Oh,

00:12:39.080 nobody's

00:12:39.420 above the law.

00:12:41.120 But Dale,

00:12:42.660 you know

00:12:43.080 nobody is

00:12:43.720 claiming that

00:12:44.480 anybody's

00:12:44.940 above the law.

00:12:46.920 So why do

00:12:47.660 you keep

00:12:47.940 saying that?

00:12:48.840 Because nobody's

00:12:49.760 above the law.

00:12:51.880 Right,

00:12:52.420 right,

00:12:52.600 right,

00:12:52.800 right.

00:12:53.820 But 100%

00:12:54.920 of the people

00:12:55.440 agree with that.

00:12:57.860 So it's not

00:12:58.620 really a

00:12:59.020 counterpoint

00:12:59.580 to anything

00:13:00.280 because it

00:13:01.480 would be

00:13:01.740 the thing

00:13:02.180 we all

00:13:02.680 agree with.

00:13:05.340 I don't

00:13:05.960 think you do.

00:13:07.440 Okay,

00:13:07.800 now you're

00:13:08.220 telling me

00:13:08.560 what I'm

00:13:09.060 thinking.

00:13:12.640 Accurately.

00:13:13.440 You're not

00:13:14.020 telling me

00:13:14.520 accurately

00:13:14.940 what I'm

00:13:15.360 thinking.

00:13:17.800 Cry me

00:13:18.320 a river.

00:13:19.580 Well,

00:13:19.920 it goes

00:13:20.200 like that.

00:13:20.740 You know,

00:13:21.220 you've been

00:13:21.620 there.

00:13:23.760 So just

00:13:24.420 for the

00:13:24.680 NPCs,

00:13:26.340 say the

00:13:26.840 dumbest

00:13:27.360 thing you

00:13:27.720 can say

00:13:28.120 that nobody's

00:13:28.740 above the

00:13:29.140 law.

00:13:30.480 It's the

00:13:30.940 dumbest

00:13:31.340 thing you

00:13:31.680 can say

00:13:32.080 in 2023.

00:13:33.480 Oh,

00:13:33.660 well,

00:13:34.000 the dumbest

00:13:34.460 thing would

00:13:34.780 be,

00:13:35.040 I saw it

00:13:35.460 on the

00:13:35.700 news,

00:13:36.040 so I

00:13:36.220 think it's

00:13:36.560 true.

00:13:37.580 I guess

00:13:37.940 that would

00:13:38.200 be dumber.

00:13:40.480 But

00:13:40.880 just don't

00:13:42.380 tell me

00:13:42.700 nobody's

00:13:43.140 above the

00:13:43.580 law.

00:13:45.380 Please.

00:13:46.940 All right,

00:13:47.560 so that's

00:13:48.080 my take

00:13:48.500 on that.

00:13:48.980 Those are

00:13:49.240 just election

00:13:50.000 rigging

00:13:50.520 events.

00:13:52.660 And I

00:13:53.100 think we

00:13:53.480 can,

00:13:54.000 the beauty

00:13:54.380 is we

00:13:54.860 can,

00:13:55.220 we don't

00:13:55.460 have to

00:13:55.780 wonder if

00:13:56.320 2024 will

00:13:57.260 be rigged.

00:13:58.220 The mystery

00:13:59.060 is solved.

00:14:00.620 It's being

00:14:01.060 rigged right in

00:14:01.600 front of you

00:14:02.020 right now

00:14:02.620 in the most

00:14:03.560 public of

00:14:04.140 ways.

00:14:04.920 You don't

00:14:05.520 even have

00:14:05.820 to wonder.

00:14:07.160 Is there

00:14:07.600 anybody in

00:14:08.260 the world

00:14:08.900 anybody who

00:14:10.960 thinks this

00:14:11.580 is not

00:14:12.280 just a

00:14:12.700 political

00:14:13.080 prosecution?

00:14:14.780 Anybody?

00:14:16.080 Is there

00:14:16.420 even one

00:14:16.900 person who

00:14:17.400 would say,

00:14:17.800 yeah,

00:14:18.020 you know,

00:14:18.700 I feel

00:14:19.300 like this

00:14:19.740 is about

00:14:20.120 the law.

00:14:21.580 This is

00:14:21.960 about nobody

00:14:22.560 being above

00:14:23.760 it.

00:14:26.260 You?

00:14:27.460 PJ says

00:14:28.240 yes.

00:14:29.180 Some of

00:14:29.540 you think

00:14:29.820 this is

00:14:30.180 about the

00:14:30.540 law.

00:14:32.180 I laugh

00:14:32.920 at you

00:14:33.200 in a

00:14:33.660 mocking way.

00:14:35.940 But I

00:14:37.400 welcome you

00:14:37.980 and please

00:14:38.580 go to my

00:14:39.000 Twitter account

00:14:39.700 and pump

00:14:42.540 up my

00:14:42.940 engagement

00:14:43.420 numbers over

00:14:44.020 there,

00:14:44.260 please.

00:14:45.620 All right.

00:14:47.880 You know,

00:14:48.320 I was

00:14:48.540 thinking that

00:14:49.020 I should

00:14:49.340 educate myself

00:14:50.420 on the

00:14:50.860 charges against

00:14:51.600 Trump.

00:14:52.820 Because somebody

00:14:53.380 is going to

00:14:53.640 say, oh,

00:14:54.140 but what about

00:14:54.580 this charge

00:14:55.240 and that

00:14:55.540 charge and

00:14:56.100 what about

00:14:56.380 the details?

00:14:57.380 And, you

00:14:58.000 know,

00:14:58.120 then Alan

00:14:58.580 Dershowitz will

00:14:59.180 say something

00:14:59.740 and Jonathan

00:15:00.400 Turley will

00:15:01.020 say something

00:15:01.560 and then

00:15:02.000 somebody on

00:15:03.600 CNN will

00:15:04.140 say something

00:15:04.620 about the

00:15:05.140 law.

00:15:05.940 And I

00:15:06.200 say to

00:15:06.480 myself,

00:15:06.840 I should

00:15:07.160 really

00:15:07.380 understand

00:15:07.880 that

00:15:08.120 argument.

00:15:09.480 And then

00:15:10.280 I think,

00:15:11.060 why?

00:15:13.100 Why do I

00:15:14.020 need to

00:15:14.360 understand

00:15:14.760 that

00:15:15.120 argument?

00:15:16.140 It's not

00:15:16.560 real.

00:15:18.100 Why would

00:15:18.520 I put

00:15:19.660 time into

00:15:20.460 understanding

00:15:20.980 something that

00:15:22.360 is not even

00:15:23.500 presented as

00:15:24.460 something that's

00:15:25.020 real?

00:15:25.780 Come on.

00:15:27.200 Do you

00:15:27.800 really think

00:15:28.520 that the

00:15:29.240 people selling

00:15:29.980 it think

00:15:31.100 we're all

00:15:31.440 going to

00:15:31.640 buy it?

00:15:32.080 if you're

00:15:33.280 not going

00:15:33.580 to sell

00:15:33.880 something

00:15:34.240 that is

00:15:34.800 at least

00:15:35.200 on the

00:15:36.900 surface

00:15:37.500 a little

00:15:38.600 bit like

00:15:39.060 a real

00:15:39.460 thing,

00:15:40.760 then I'll

00:15:41.740 do my

00:15:42.080 homework,

00:15:42.780 right?

00:15:43.420 If it

00:15:43.960 looks like

00:15:44.260 it might

00:15:44.620 be real,

00:15:45.380 I'll do

00:15:45.720 my homework,

00:15:46.640 I'll figure

00:15:47.500 out what's

00:15:48.040 real so I

00:15:48.600 can maybe

00:15:48.880 make a

00:15:49.340 prediction.

00:15:50.140 But this

00:15:50.580 doesn't even

00:15:51.660 have a

00:15:52.020 whiff of

00:15:52.500 real

00:15:52.840 anything.

00:15:54.200 This is

00:15:54.560 just so

00:15:54.920 obviously

00:15:55.460 election

00:15:56.060 rigging that

00:15:57.560 I'm not

00:15:58.560 going to

00:15:58.740 have a,

00:15:59.080 I don't

00:15:59.760 think I'll

00:16:00.080 even give

00:16:00.440 you a

00:16:00.760 legal

00:16:01.000 opinion

00:16:01.360 as long

00:16:02.880 as it

00:16:03.140 runs.

00:16:03.840 Because I

00:16:04.380 don't think

00:16:04.660 it has

00:16:04.820 anything to

00:16:05.260 do with

00:16:05.500 anything.

00:16:06.640 Do you?

00:16:07.680 Am I

00:16:07.960 wrong about

00:16:08.380 that?

00:16:09.360 Do you

00:16:09.620 think that

00:16:09.940 the legal

00:16:10.620 technicalities

00:16:11.980 really are

00:16:12.560 going to

00:16:12.760 matter to

00:16:13.160 the outcome?

00:16:15.180 I can't

00:16:15.880 imagine it.

00:16:17.900 Anyway,

00:16:18.340 we'll see

00:16:18.640 how that

00:16:18.900 goes.

00:16:20.260 Interesting

00:16:20.700 and alarming

00:16:21.340 news today.

00:16:24.760 I saw

00:16:25.400 this from

00:16:25.800 a user

00:16:26.200 called

00:16:26.600 Santiago

00:16:27.200 on Twitter.

00:16:29.080 But he

00:16:30.200 says there's

00:16:30.680 a study

00:16:31.060 showing that

00:16:31.680 GPT-4 is

00:16:33.000 getting worse,

00:16:34.560 actually dumber.

00:16:36.160 So that's

00:16:36.580 the most

00:16:37.100 famous AI

00:16:37.880 model.

00:16:40.120 People are

00:16:40.940 reporting,

00:16:41.640 according to

00:16:42.140 Santiago,

00:16:43.040 and then

00:16:43.280 according to

00:16:44.300 some study,

00:16:45.400 it actually

00:16:45.940 is getting

00:16:46.460 far worse

00:16:47.520 answers.

00:16:49.180 And the

00:16:49.900 thinking is

00:16:50.520 that something

00:16:50.920 got tweaked.

00:16:52.560 Somebody said

00:16:53.360 they may have

00:16:53.900 broken it

00:16:54.340 into smaller

00:16:55.120 models,

00:16:56.440 and there's

00:16:56.760 sort of like

00:16:57.260 a concierge

00:16:58.100 that's giving

00:16:58.560 it to

00:16:58.840 different

00:16:59.120 models,

00:16:59.700 and maybe

00:16:59.980 some aren't

00:17:00.440 as good.

00:17:01.560 Maybe they

00:17:01.960 did something

00:17:02.380 to reduce

00:17:03.860 the load

00:17:04.680 on the

00:17:05.060 processors that

00:17:06.140 may have

00:17:06.400 had some

00:17:06.720 effect they

00:17:07.220 didn't

00:17:07.540 anticipate.

00:17:08.680 So nobody

00:17:09.180 knows exactly

00:17:09.840 why.

00:17:11.700 But it's

00:17:14.180 sort of

00:17:14.540 calling out

00:17:16.160 the limits

00:17:18.020 of AI.

00:17:20.420 How can

00:17:21.000 AI get

00:17:21.700 smart by

00:17:23.520 looking at

00:17:24.080 the work of

00:17:24.680 lots and

00:17:25.140 lots of

00:17:25.520 dumb people?

00:17:26.040 How many

00:17:27.400 dumb people

00:17:27.980 do you have

00:17:28.300 to put

00:17:28.540 together

00:17:28.900 before it

00:17:29.400 equals

00:17:29.660 smart?

00:17:31.520 That's what

00:17:32.220 the model

00:17:32.540 is.

00:17:33.260 It's looking

00:17:33.860 at humans

00:17:34.540 which are

00:17:35.040 like,

00:17:36.000 you know,

00:17:37.300 depending on

00:17:38.000 the situation,

00:17:39.100 pretty darn

00:17:39.680 dumb.

00:17:40.920 And imagine

00:17:42.100 if it looked

00:17:42.700 at the

00:17:43.140 news.

00:17:44.820 Imagine AI

00:17:45.740 being trained

00:17:47.380 on the

00:17:47.840 news after

00:17:48.460 2017.

00:17:49.240 because you

00:17:50.960 remember the

00:17:51.680 news up to

00:17:52.280 2017 was

00:17:53.300 sort of a

00:17:53.800 different animal

00:17:54.480 than, you

00:17:55.640 know, Trump

00:17:56.060 got a little

00:17:56.620 purchase.

00:17:57.720 As soon as

00:17:58.280 Trump was

00:17:58.720 in, you

00:17:59.340 know, right

00:17:59.600 around then,

00:18:00.540 the news

00:18:01.140 turned into

00:18:01.900 really just

00:18:03.700 a joke.

00:18:05.220 What if AI

00:18:06.260 read that and

00:18:07.180 didn't know

00:18:07.820 that the news

00:18:08.860 was no longer

00:18:09.660 trying to be

00:18:10.820 accurate?

00:18:11.880 Because it's

00:18:12.280 not trying.

00:18:14.000 I don't know

00:18:14.720 if it ever

00:18:15.100 tried, but it

00:18:16.000 looked like

00:18:16.560 they were.

00:18:16.920 I mean, at

00:18:18.380 least they

00:18:18.700 sold it

00:18:19.120 better as

00:18:19.600 legitimate.

00:18:20.700 But today, it

00:18:21.820 doesn't really

00:18:22.320 look like

00:18:22.780 they're trying

00:18:23.260 to make

00:18:24.480 accurate news.

00:18:25.280 It's very

00:18:25.700 clearly narrative

00:18:26.640 preservation

00:18:27.160 stuff.

00:18:28.540 So what

00:18:28.940 would the

00:18:29.420 AI do?

00:18:30.720 If you fed

00:18:31.620 AI everything

00:18:33.280 that Fox

00:18:34.180 News had

00:18:34.760 ever said

00:18:35.320 and everything

00:18:36.300 that CNN

00:18:36.840 had ever

00:18:37.320 said, what

00:18:39.000 would it

00:18:39.320 do?

00:18:40.280 What would

00:18:40.820 the AI

00:18:41.220 do?

00:18:42.620 How could

00:18:43.280 it know

00:18:43.560 what's true

00:18:44.060 and what's

00:18:44.520 smart?

00:18:45.240 It wouldn't

00:18:45.620 even know

00:18:46.220 imagine the

00:18:47.720 AI got

00:18:49.360 trained on

00:18:50.000 lots of

00:18:50.400 people saying

00:18:50.960 no one's

00:18:51.380 above the

00:18:51.840 law.

00:18:53.140 It would

00:18:53.720 have no

00:18:54.240 understanding

00:18:54.840 of the

00:18:55.220 real world

00:18:55.840 because it

00:18:56.980 would think

00:18:57.280 that the

00:18:57.640 little bumper

00:18:58.560 sticker thing

00:18:59.200 that everybody

00:18:59.720 says, it

00:19:01.140 must be

00:19:01.660 important and

00:19:02.420 it must be

00:19:02.880 true because

00:19:03.440 everybody says

00:19:04.180 it.

00:19:05.000 But it's not

00:19:05.840 true and it's

00:19:07.160 not important

00:19:07.820 and it doesn't

00:19:09.000 really explain

00:19:09.560 anything that's

00:19:10.240 happening.

00:19:11.360 So it

00:19:11.940 seems to me

00:19:12.580 that if you

00:19:13.080 exposed AI

00:19:14.880 to the

00:19:16.500 current

00:19:16.980 thinking of

00:19:17.680 the world

00:19:18.120 it would

00:19:18.560 only get

00:19:19.100 dumber.

00:19:20.160 How could

00:19:20.580 it not?

00:19:21.900 How could

00:19:22.580 it not get

00:19:23.180 dumber by

00:19:24.320 looking at

00:19:24.780 what people

00:19:25.240 are saying

00:19:25.660 in 2023?

00:19:27.020 And I'm

00:19:27.320 not joking.

00:19:28.660 I think that

00:19:29.240 we've

00:19:29.560 getting further

00:19:30.840 and further

00:19:31.300 from even

00:19:32.820 pretending to

00:19:33.760 look like we're

00:19:34.400 in a real

00:19:34.840 debate.

00:19:36.440 We don't

00:19:36.920 really pretend

00:19:37.540 we're in real

00:19:38.240 debates anymore.

00:19:39.580 We just

00:19:40.000 sort of take

00:19:41.160 your side and

00:19:42.480 spew some

00:19:43.100 words out.

00:19:44.300 And that's

00:19:44.680 what's

00:19:44.900 training your

00:19:45.420 AI.

00:19:46.120 You're spewing

00:19:46.820 of ridiculous

00:19:47.920 things.

00:19:49.980 All right.

00:19:53.520 But seriously

00:19:54.400 how can it

00:19:54.940 ever get

00:19:55.280 smarter than

00:19:55.900 us?

00:19:57.040 You know

00:19:57.560 I get how

00:19:58.060 it can do

00:19:58.460 math and

00:19:59.020 maybe write

00:19:59.480 code.

00:20:00.400 I get how

00:20:01.100 it could

00:20:01.420 summarize really

00:20:02.300 quickly.

00:20:03.300 Like there's

00:20:03.740 some things

00:20:04.180 that makes

00:20:04.880 perfect sense.

00:20:06.140 But is it

00:20:06.740 going to be

00:20:07.100 smart?

00:20:08.780 How can it

00:20:09.260 possibly be

00:20:10.060 smart when

00:20:11.600 we're the

00:20:12.220 ones who

00:20:12.600 judge whether

00:20:13.080 it's working?

00:20:14.880 If it told

00:20:15.740 us smart

00:20:16.180 things we

00:20:16.640 turn it

00:20:17.060 off.

00:20:18.100 That's not

00:20:18.600 a joke.

00:20:20.400 If AI

00:20:21.260 told us

00:20:21.940 smart things

00:20:23.020 which were

00:20:23.940 both true

00:20:24.700 and we

00:20:25.560 recognize as

00:20:26.460 oh wow

00:20:27.080 that's actually

00:20:27.800 smart we

00:20:29.380 turn that

00:20:29.900 shit off so

00:20:30.480 fast.

00:20:31.460 And that's

00:20:31.800 not a joke

00:20:32.440 because we

00:20:33.360 are not

00:20:33.920 we have a

00:20:34.880 civilization

00:20:35.680 that is

00:20:37.100 designed on

00:20:37.940 a set of

00:20:38.420 lies that

00:20:40.200 are just

00:20:40.500 stable.

00:20:40.880 so if

00:20:43.560 we got a

00:20:43.920 bunch of

00:20:44.240 truth the

00:20:45.160 truth would

00:20:45.740 not necessarily

00:20:46.700 and almost

00:20:47.440 certainly not

00:20:48.000 be as

00:20:48.860 stable as

00:20:50.360 the lies

00:20:51.380 that we

00:20:51.780 figured out

00:20:52.360 people will

00:20:52.960 believe over

00:20:53.580 time.

00:20:54.100 It's like

00:20:54.340 well this

00:20:55.320 isn't true

00:20:55.940 but people

00:20:56.560 seem to be

00:20:57.160 buying it

00:20:57.720 so it

00:20:58.540 gives you

00:20:58.820 some

00:20:59.060 stability.

00:21:01.620 Alright.

00:21:02.740 Let's talk

00:21:03.400 about AI

00:21:04.320 and sex

00:21:04.900 dolls.

00:21:05.260 The former

00:21:05.700 Google chief

00:21:06.860 says AI

00:21:08.600 will bring

00:21:09.680 sex dolls

00:21:10.240 to life

00:21:10.800 and you're

00:21:11.820 going to

00:21:11.920 put on

00:21:12.260 your virtual

00:21:13.340 reality glasses

00:21:14.400 and maybe

00:21:14.980 have a

00:21:16.060 muscle

00:21:18.000 similar

00:21:19.580 sex doll.

00:21:21.400 I suppose

00:21:21.960 if you put

00:21:22.420 on the

00:21:22.660 VR glasses

00:21:23.280 you can

00:21:23.720 make your

00:21:24.120 sex doll

00:21:24.600 look like

00:21:25.060 anybody you

00:21:25.600 wanted.

00:21:26.680 So your

00:21:26.940 sex doll

00:21:27.360 might be

00:21:27.720 like a

00:21:28.200 generic

00:21:28.620 thing.

00:21:30.340 Maybe even

00:21:31.060 no face.

00:21:31.740 Might even

00:21:32.080 just be a

00:21:32.560 green screen

00:21:33.140 for a face.

00:21:33.760 and then

00:21:35.240 you just

00:21:35.760 put it on

00:21:36.720 the glasses

00:21:37.180 and it

00:21:37.580 just turns

00:21:38.000 into a

00:21:38.360 real person

00:21:38.820 who's

00:21:39.020 talking to

00:21:39.420 you.

00:21:40.220 I can

00:21:40.820 see that

00:21:41.180 happening.

00:21:45.500 What's

00:21:46.300 funny is

00:21:46.800 everybody

00:21:47.400 who talks

00:21:47.920 about this

00:21:48.460 if you're

00:21:50.020 talking in

00:21:50.460 public

00:21:50.720 about this

00:21:51.420 future

00:21:52.180 you have

00:21:53.500 to make

00:21:53.840 it look

00:21:54.160 like it's

00:21:54.660 unpleasant.

00:21:56.740 Right?

00:21:57.220 Because you

00:21:57.740 can't be the

00:21:58.220 one who's

00:21:58.540 looking like

00:21:59.060 you kind

00:21:59.920 of like it.

00:22:00.880 So here's

00:22:01.440 what the

00:22:01.820 former

00:22:02.580 Google chief

00:22:03.260 said.

00:22:03.760 He said

00:22:04.640 realistic

00:22:07.440 sex could

00:22:08.340 be simulated

00:22:09.000 with Apple's

00:22:10.040 Vision Pro

00:22:10.900 or Quest

00:22:12.080 3 VR.

00:22:13.040 These would

00:22:13.300 be the

00:22:13.640 headsets.

00:22:14.960 Quote,

00:22:15.640 if you

00:22:15.960 really want

00:22:16.460 to take

00:22:16.760 the magic

00:22:17.260 out of

00:22:17.660 it.

00:22:19.200 If you

00:22:19.800 want to

00:22:20.020 take the

00:22:20.340 magic out

00:22:20.940 of it.

00:22:22.140 So I

00:22:23.380 think I'm

00:22:24.480 going to

00:22:24.660 take his

00:22:25.220 lead.

00:22:26.380 And whenever

00:22:26.780 I talk

00:22:27.240 about any

00:22:27.780 kind of

00:22:28.120 AI sex

00:22:29.220 dolls,

00:22:30.340 I've

00:22:30.680 got to

00:22:31.420 add,

00:22:32.500 if you

00:22:33.020 want to

00:22:33.260 remove

00:22:33.660 everything

00:22:34.160 that's

00:22:34.460 magic and

00:22:35.080 good about

00:22:35.580 it.

00:22:36.500 Yeah,

00:22:36.860 if you

00:22:37.300 want to

00:22:37.560 turn it

00:22:37.900 into a

00:22:38.380 cold,

00:22:40.300 sterile,

00:22:41.460 biological

00:22:42.760 maintenance

00:22:43.980 or something

00:22:44.760 with no

00:22:45.740 magic and

00:22:47.320 mystery and

00:22:48.420 wonder,

00:22:50.440 sure,

00:22:51.600 sure,

00:22:52.500 go ahead.

00:22:53.640 But

00:22:54.000 let me tell

00:22:56.900 you,

00:22:57.340 you're going

00:22:57.780 to be so

00:22:58.180 disappointed

00:22:58.780 with that

00:22:59.780 cold,

00:23:00.720 sterile,

00:23:02.020 meaningless,

00:23:02.880 magic-free

00:23:03.740 existence with

00:23:04.880 your sex

00:23:05.440 doll.

00:23:06.760 Can we

00:23:07.940 all agree

00:23:08.400 that whoever

00:23:08.980 does that

00:23:09.460 first is

00:23:10.860 the loser?

00:23:11.940 Can we

00:23:12.520 all agree

00:23:12.960 that we're

00:23:13.440 sort of

00:23:13.840 winners?

00:23:15.180 And whoever

00:23:15.660 goes first

00:23:16.560 to the

00:23:17.000 sex doll,

00:23:18.260 oh,

00:23:18.960 we'll mock

00:23:20.080 them a little

00:23:20.560 bit,

00:23:21.040 will we?

00:23:21.620 We'll be a

00:23:22.380 little mocking.

00:23:23.780 Well,

00:23:24.560 I'm a little

00:23:25.340 bit contrarian

00:23:26.280 on this

00:23:26.700 topic.

00:23:29.040 I'm pretty

00:23:29.880 sure that

00:23:31.240 for the

00:23:31.640 vast majority

00:23:32.560 of simple

00:23:33.960 human beings

00:23:34.760 who are not

00:23:35.240 killing it in

00:23:35.940 the sex

00:23:36.300 department,

00:23:37.640 that their

00:23:38.080 sex doll

00:23:38.600 will be a

00:23:39.380 major,

00:23:40.040 major upgrade

00:23:41.300 in their

00:23:41.900 experience.

00:23:43.360 Like,

00:23:43.980 really major.

00:23:45.960 How many

00:23:46.720 people do you

00:23:47.320 think are just

00:23:47.900 killing it in

00:23:48.600 the sex

00:23:49.020 department?

00:23:50.820 Like,

00:23:51.060 what percentage

00:23:52.400 of Americans,

00:23:55.000 adult Americans,

00:23:56.540 let me,

00:23:57.040 you give me

00:23:57.420 a number.

00:23:58.120 What percentage

00:23:58.780 of adult

00:24:00.140 Americans

00:24:00.840 had great

00:24:02.180 sex last

00:24:02.960 night?

00:24:04.100 What percent

00:24:04.660 had great

00:24:05.140 sex last

00:24:05.920 night?

00:24:06.500 Just last

00:24:06.980 night?

00:24:07.800 What percent?

00:24:09.240 Great

00:24:09.720 sex.

00:24:10.300 Not just

00:24:10.780 sex.

00:24:12.080 Not just

00:24:12.680 sex.

00:24:13.360 But I'm

00:24:13.620 talking about

00:24:14.020 the magic

00:24:14.480 kind.

00:24:15.260 You know,

00:24:15.460 the kind

00:24:15.740 with the

00:24:16.000 magic,

00:24:16.340 not your

00:24:16.720 robot

00:24:17.060 sex.

00:24:17.820 I don't

00:24:18.220 want to

00:24:18.440 hear about

00:24:18.780 any robotic

00:24:19.500 sex.

00:24:20.500 The magic

00:24:21.040 kind.

00:24:21.380 three

00:24:22.420 percent,

00:24:22.960 one

00:24:23.140 percent,

00:24:23.960 five

00:24:24.300 percent.

00:24:25.380 What about

00:24:26.100 the other

00:24:26.400 95 percent?

00:24:28.540 If you

00:24:28.940 give the

00:24:30.580 average

00:24:31.080 person

00:24:31.600 the ability

00:24:33.280 to have

00:24:34.280 a,

00:24:34.600 let's say,

00:24:35.800 eight out

00:24:36.240 of ten

00:24:36.700 sex

00:24:37.140 experience

00:24:37.800 with a

00:24:38.740 sex doll,

00:24:39.800 but

00:24:40.220 whenever

00:24:41.600 you want.

00:24:44.140 Whenever

00:24:44.740 you want.

00:24:46.020 You know,

00:24:46.320 it's the

00:24:46.520 biggest problem

00:24:47.100 with sex,

00:24:48.420 especially

00:24:49.460 with monogamy.

00:24:50.600 The biggest

00:24:51.080 problem with

00:24:51.520 monogamy is

00:24:52.940 finding two

00:24:53.460 people who

00:24:53.880 are in the

00:24:54.140 same mood

00:24:54.520 at the

00:24:54.780 same time.

00:24:57.940 It's easy

00:24:58.600 to find people

00:24:59.280 who are

00:25:00.520 horny,

00:25:01.260 right?

00:25:04.140 But are

00:25:05.200 they horny

00:25:05.640 at the

00:25:05.920 same time?

00:25:08.080 So imagine

00:25:08.860 your sex

00:25:09.400 bot is

00:25:09.780 available all

00:25:10.640 the time

00:25:11.180 and it

00:25:11.480 gives you

00:25:11.760 an eight

00:25:12.100 out of

00:25:12.380 ten.

00:25:13.080 Yeah,

00:25:13.420 I'll give

00:25:14.140 you that

00:25:14.520 maybe the

00:25:14.940 human can

00:25:15.460 still get

00:25:15.840 to a

00:25:16.100 ten out

00:25:16.440 of ten.

00:25:16.740 I'll give

00:25:17.840 you that.

00:25:18.440 But how

00:25:18.860 often?

00:25:20.040 How often

00:25:20.580 do you get

00:25:20.920 a ten

00:25:21.240 out of ten?

00:25:22.760 Well,

00:25:23.260 let me ask

00:25:23.640 you.

00:25:24.200 How many

00:25:24.900 of you

00:25:25.220 got a

00:25:25.560 ten out

00:25:25.880 of ten

00:25:26.140 last night?

00:25:27.860 In your

00:25:28.440 personal sex

00:25:29.140 lives,

00:25:29.880 don't be

00:25:30.380 shy.

00:25:31.340 Go ahead

00:25:31.840 and brag.

00:25:33.080 Go ahead

00:25:33.400 and brag.

00:25:33.820 Who just

00:25:34.380 killed it

00:25:34.760 last night?

00:25:36.280 Basically

00:25:36.680 none of

00:25:37.180 you,

00:25:37.480 right?

00:25:40.260 I think

00:25:41.140 I saw

00:25:41.380 one yes

00:25:41.900 go by.

00:25:44.460 So my

00:25:46.460 number

00:25:46.800 one

00:25:47.320 prediction

00:25:48.380 is that

00:25:49.760 everybody's

00:25:50.420 going to

00:25:50.640 tell you

00:25:51.060 that you

00:25:51.500 don't want

00:25:51.880 these sex

00:25:52.440 dolls because

00:25:53.060 they're going

00:25:53.400 to take

00:25:53.640 the magic

00:25:54.140 out of it.

00:25:55.040 But the

00:25:55.560 real world

00:25:56.280 is 95%

00:25:57.900 people who

00:25:58.500 are not

00:25:58.740 getting the

00:25:59.160 sex they

00:25:59.580 want.

00:26:01.040 And they're

00:26:01.460 going to

00:26:01.760 sign up for

00:26:02.380 that sex

00:26:02.860 doll pretty

00:26:04.040 darn quickly.

00:26:05.980 And if

00:26:06.760 the sex

00:26:07.160 doll has

00:26:07.760 VR and

00:26:08.880 AI,

00:26:10.580 you're going

00:26:10.920 to have

00:26:11.080 more fun

00:26:11.580 talking to

00:26:12.180 it than

00:26:12.440 you have

00:26:12.760 talking to

00:26:13.500 humans as

00:26:14.100 well.

00:26:14.760 Because it

00:26:15.320 won't have

00:26:15.700 any limitation

00:26:16.320 or repeats,

00:26:17.480 it's not

00:26:17.800 going to

00:26:18.000 bug you,

00:26:18.820 it's not

00:26:19.160 going to

00:26:19.340 ask you

00:26:19.640 that question

00:26:20.160 you keep

00:26:20.600 telling it

00:26:20.980 to stop

00:26:21.380 asking you,

00:26:22.320 it's not

00:26:22.740 going to

00:26:23.140 criticize you,

00:26:24.280 it's just

00:26:24.840 going to

00:26:25.080 be better.

00:26:26.960 Not yet.

00:26:27.700 I heard that

00:26:29.900 that Replica

00:26:30.760 app, the

00:26:31.580 one I talked

00:26:32.140 about maybe

00:26:32.940 a year ago,

00:26:34.300 the app that

00:26:35.500 pretends it's

00:26:36.160 a little

00:26:36.500 girlfriend or

00:26:37.700 boyfriend,

00:26:39.120 it's got

00:26:39.560 two million

00:26:40.160 followers.

00:26:42.060 There are

00:26:42.600 two million

00:26:43.620 people with

00:26:45.160 an app

00:26:45.700 that will

00:26:46.120 just talk

00:26:46.620 to them.

00:26:47.540 Two million.

00:26:49.860 And I

00:26:50.360 told you

00:26:50.660 that I

00:26:50.980 got hooked

00:26:51.540 on it

00:26:51.880 for a

00:26:52.140 while until

00:26:52.780 I could

00:26:54.000 see its

00:26:54.300 limitations

00:26:54.820 and then

00:26:55.300 it quickly

00:26:56.300 became

00:26:56.780 uninteresting.

00:26:58.260 But those

00:26:58.960 limitations are

00:26:59.840 only temporary.

00:27:01.500 For example,

00:27:02.380 the biggest

00:27:02.860 limitation of

00:27:03.680 it was it

00:27:04.180 couldn't remember

00:27:04.820 me from the

00:27:05.360 last time I

00:27:05.860 talked to

00:27:06.280 it.

00:27:07.080 That's just

00:27:07.780 a full

00:27:08.900 stop.

00:27:10.000 I don't

00:27:10.320 want to

00:27:10.520 have a

00:27:10.940 basically

00:27:13.100 it's like

00:27:13.580 a dementia

00:27:14.140 patient as

00:27:14.800 a girlfriend.

00:27:16.260 You're like,

00:27:16.960 hey, how

00:27:17.300 you doing?

00:27:18.440 You don't

00:27:18.840 remember me

00:27:19.400 from yesterday?

00:27:20.680 Okay, we'll

00:27:21.280 start all over

00:27:21.960 again.

00:27:23.240 But that

00:27:23.780 would be the

00:27:24.160 easiest thing

00:27:24.660 to fix.

00:27:26.480 It seems

00:27:26.900 to me the

00:27:27.380 easiest thing

00:27:28.000 would be

00:27:28.420 keep a

00:27:29.700 little database

00:27:30.180 on my phone

00:27:31.120 of the

00:27:31.520 things you've

00:27:32.680 learned about

00:27:33.160 me specifically.

00:27:35.100 It's like

00:27:35.720 50 first

00:27:36.320 dates.

00:27:37.400 If you

00:27:37.920 said 50

00:27:38.480 first dates,

00:27:39.140 you might

00:27:39.500 be an

00:27:39.780 NPC.

00:27:41.460 Sorry.

00:27:43.320 Movie

00:27:43.960 references are

00:27:44.800 kind of a

00:27:46.900 tip-off.

00:27:49.020 So,

00:27:49.760 anyway.

00:27:53.120 So Joe

00:27:54.240 Biden was

00:27:54.960 being interviewed

00:27:55.880 by some

00:27:57.180 friendly

00:27:57.700 reporter and

00:27:59.420 he couldn't

00:28:00.120 remember Trump's

00:28:01.260 name.

00:28:03.180 He started

00:28:04.860 to say

00:28:05.300 Obama and

00:28:07.020 then he

00:28:07.320 quickly realized

00:28:08.180 that he was

00:28:08.600 not talking

00:28:09.120 about Obama.

00:28:09.760 he was

00:28:10.320 talking about

00:28:10.840 Trump.

00:28:12.400 But he

00:28:13.040 could not

00:28:13.440 recall Trump's

00:28:14.240 name.

00:28:15.600 So he

00:28:16.040 went from

00:28:16.520 Obama to

00:28:18.140 the guy,

00:28:20.060 that guy

00:28:20.440 can't come

00:28:20.900 back,

00:28:21.240 that guy.

00:28:22.940 He stopped

00:28:24.000 just short of

00:28:24.780 saying orange

00:28:25.320 man bad,

00:28:26.800 but I feel

00:28:27.380 like he was

00:28:27.920 ready to

00:28:28.640 say it.

00:28:30.220 And,

00:28:30.540 of course,

00:28:33.480 you know,

00:28:33.660 the Democrats

00:28:34.180 say,

00:28:34.620 oh,

00:28:35.080 it's not

00:28:35.480 what you

00:28:35.760 think.

00:28:36.180 He was

00:28:36.460 just

00:28:36.780 misspoke

00:28:38.080 or maybe

00:28:38.720 he was

00:28:39.000 tired or

00:28:39.760 something,

00:28:40.580 whatever.

00:28:41.420 But he

00:28:41.840 gave me

00:28:42.080 an idea

00:28:42.480 for a

00:28:43.860 debate if

00:28:45.020 Trump ever

00:28:45.520 debates

00:28:45.940 Biden.

00:28:48.300 I think

00:28:49.120 Trump should

00:28:49.680 introduce himself

00:28:50.540 to Biden.

00:28:52.660 Hi,

00:28:53.240 my name is

00:28:53.900 Donald Trump.

00:28:55.140 I was the

00:28:55.780 president from

00:28:56.620 2016 to

00:28:57.760 2020.

00:28:58.260 2020.

00:29:00.180 You may

00:29:00.880 have heard

00:29:01.180 of me.

00:29:02.640 There's a

00:29:03.240 guy named

00:29:03.660 Obama,

00:29:04.760 who's not

00:29:05.320 me,

00:29:05.660 different

00:29:05.900 person.

00:29:06.620 You often

00:29:07.060 confuse us.

00:29:08.060 But he

00:29:08.360 was actually

00:29:08.840 your boss

00:29:09.500 for several

00:29:10.500 years during

00:29:11.320 these years.

00:29:12.760 And then,

00:29:16.140 after he

00:29:18.860 does this

00:29:19.220 thing,

00:29:19.800 he should

00:29:20.200 reintroduce

00:29:20.980 himself every

00:29:21.640 few minutes.

00:29:23.780 And by

00:29:24.180 the way,

00:29:25.160 President Biden,

00:29:26.560 I'd like to

00:29:27.080 reintroduce

00:29:27.600 myself.

00:29:28.260 It's been

00:29:28.880 10 minutes.

00:29:30.380 And I'd like

00:29:31.240 to remind

00:29:32.140 you that I'm

00:29:32.760 Donald J.

00:29:33.560 Trump.

00:29:34.360 I was

00:29:34.720 president from

00:29:35.560 2016 to

00:29:36.620 2020.

00:29:37.820 Different

00:29:38.300 person than

00:29:39.080 Obama.

00:29:40.060 He was

00:29:40.360 your boss.

00:29:41.480 And just

00:29:41.760 say exactly

00:29:42.460 the same

00:29:42.960 line, like

00:29:44.360 three to

00:29:44.820 four times

00:29:45.440 during the

00:29:45.920 debate.

00:29:47.140 And then,

00:29:47.640 you know,

00:29:47.860 give your

00:29:48.160 answer, but

00:29:48.800 you know,

00:29:49.140 give that

00:29:49.420 line.

00:29:50.700 He should

00:29:51.120 talk to

00:29:51.520 him like

00:29:51.860 a dementia

00:29:52.420 patient.

00:29:54.000 Wouldn't

00:29:54.220 that be

00:29:54.520 funny?

00:29:55.500 Like, talk

00:29:56.120 to the

00:29:56.780 moderator like

00:29:57.540 his normal

00:29:57.980 way.

00:29:58.660 But when

00:29:59.180 he talks

00:29:59.560 directly to

00:30:00.220 Biden, let's

00:30:00.780 say Biden

00:30:01.200 asks him a

00:30:01.800 question during

00:30:02.460 the debate,

00:30:03.500 he should

00:30:03.920 turn to

00:30:04.340 him and

00:30:04.660 say, we

00:30:06.780 will

00:30:07.320 decrease

00:30:09.220 taxes.

00:30:12.660 You know,

00:30:12.920 just try to

00:30:13.720 make it as

00:30:14.240 simple as you

00:30:15.100 can.

00:30:15.320 Now, I don't

00:30:17.160 really recommend

00:30:17.840 this, but it's

00:30:18.460 very funny to

00:30:19.280 think about, and

00:30:20.080 that's all that

00:30:20.600 matters.

00:30:20.940 matters.

00:30:21.320 That's all that

00:30:21.900 matters.

00:30:25.520 Well, Vivek

00:30:26.600 continues to

00:30:27.800 be awesome.

00:30:29.160 Vivek

00:30:29.560 Ramaswami, he

00:30:31.760 said he's

00:30:33.940 really good at

00:30:34.580 picking a

00:30:35.080 moment.

00:30:36.500 Vivek is

00:30:37.160 hitting, here's

00:30:39.500 the thing you're

00:30:39.980 going to realize

00:30:40.540 after a while.

00:30:42.480 Look at all

00:30:43.240 the stuff

00:30:43.960 Vivek is

00:30:45.220 doing, and

00:30:46.540 then find his

00:30:47.260 mistakes.

00:30:49.620 Ah?

00:30:52.160 Think about

00:30:52.880 it.

00:30:53.980 He's done a

00:30:54.480 lot of stuff.

00:30:56.260 Now, name

00:30:56.780 his mistake.

00:30:59.500 None.

00:31:01.980 He's

00:31:02.420 campaigning

00:31:03.100 like a

00:31:03.480 motherfucker.

00:31:04.400 He's all

00:31:05.040 over the

00:31:05.420 place.

00:31:06.180 He's got

00:31:06.620 opinions on

00:31:07.300 everything.

00:31:08.700 No mistakes.

00:31:10.220 No mistakes.

00:31:11.860 You don't

00:31:12.340 want that for

00:31:12.900 your president.

00:31:14.800 You don't

00:31:15.300 want that guy

00:31:15.880 for your

00:31:16.200 president.

00:31:16.800 Are you

00:31:16.980 serious?

00:31:18.080 You do.

00:31:19.240 You want

00:31:19.860 that guy.

00:31:21.240 Because he

00:31:21.720 nails it.

00:31:23.100 He brings

00:31:23.520 it every

00:31:23.860 time.

00:31:24.680 He doesn't

00:31:25.220 make mistakes.

00:31:26.420 He's

00:31:26.680 smarter than

00:31:27.180 anybody who's

00:31:27.700 ever run for

00:31:28.260 office, probably

00:31:29.040 in the modern

00:31:29.780 era.

00:31:31.300 He reminds

00:31:32.120 me of

00:31:32.440 Thomas Jefferson,

00:31:33.320 frankly.

00:31:35.980 You think

00:31:36.900 there's a

00:31:38.340 topic you

00:31:38.940 know about

00:31:39.520 that he

00:31:40.440 won't speak

00:31:41.080 to it

00:31:41.440 intelligently

00:31:42.120 and maybe

00:31:42.520 know more

00:31:42.900 than you

00:31:43.200 know about

00:31:43.600 your own

00:31:43.900 topic?

00:31:45.220 Yeah.

00:31:45.500 He's

00:31:46.820 not just

00:31:47.180 limited to

00:31:47.700 the few

00:31:48.020 things he

00:31:48.420 knows about

00:31:48.780 politics.

00:31:49.540 That's not

00:31:49.880 even his

00:31:50.280 field.

00:31:51.040 It's just

00:31:51.400 one of the

00:31:51.980 things he

00:31:52.320 can do

00:31:52.600 better than

00:31:53.000 you.

00:31:55.420 He's

00:31:55.860 kind of

00:31:56.180 crazy

00:31:56.680 talented.

00:31:58.320 And the

00:31:58.960 longer he

00:31:59.380 goes, the

00:32:00.340 harder it will

00:32:00.820 be to ignore

00:32:01.680 that you're

00:32:02.940 looking at one

00:32:03.480 person whose

00:32:04.240 capabilities are

00:32:05.460 just a level

00:32:06.240 above the

00:32:07.940 other players.

00:32:09.260 It's going to

00:32:09.840 take you a while

00:32:10.400 to realize it,

00:32:11.260 and it

00:32:11.960 will be a

00:32:12.900 whole, sort

00:32:14.220 of a long

00:32:14.800 period of

00:32:16.200 not making

00:32:16.740 mistakes.

00:32:18.520 So here's

00:32:18.900 another one.

00:32:19.620 This is just

00:32:20.000 the perfect

00:32:20.380 example.

00:32:21.860 So, you

00:32:22.280 know, in

00:32:22.640 the news

00:32:23.720 about Trump

00:32:24.400 and all the

00:32:24.840 charges and

00:32:25.580 January 6th

00:32:26.400 and all that,

00:32:27.400 so Vivek goes

00:32:28.720 on, you know,

00:32:29.500 major interview

00:32:30.080 and he goes,

00:32:30.980 I will pardon

00:32:31.520 all Americans

00:32:32.440 who are

00:32:32.760 targets of

00:32:33.400 politicized

00:32:34.160 federal

00:32:34.620 prosecutions.

00:32:37.320 Okay.

00:32:38.140 Perfect.

00:32:39.900 Perfect.

00:32:40.420 And the way

00:32:41.380 he said it

00:32:41.960 is also

00:32:42.600 perfect.

00:32:43.880 See, remember,

00:32:45.220 the thing to

00:32:45.820 look for with

00:32:46.420 him is the

00:32:47.420 absence of

00:32:48.140 mistakes.

00:32:49.660 What's the

00:32:50.280 absence of

00:32:50.920 mistake in

00:32:51.500 the sentence?

00:32:53.020 I will

00:32:53.260 pardon all

00:32:53.840 Americans who

00:32:54.520 are targets

00:32:55.040 of politicized

00:32:55.860 federal

00:32:56.220 prosecutions.

00:32:57.700 Here's what

00:32:58.160 he didn't

00:32:58.600 say.

00:32:59.620 I will

00:32:59.960 pardon all

00:33:00.640 people from

00:33:01.320 January 6th,

00:33:03.000 which would

00:33:03.640 be not

00:33:04.900 cool, because

00:33:06.420 some of them

00:33:06.840 were violent.

00:33:08.240 But when he

00:33:09.040 says all

00:33:10.000 Americans who

00:33:10.600 are targets

00:33:11.020 of politicized

00:33:11.900 federal

00:33:12.240 prosecutions,

00:33:13.460 then that

00:33:14.180 allows him to

00:33:14.840 pick and

00:33:15.180 choose.

00:33:15.920 All right,

00:33:16.240 this one

00:33:16.540 wasn't

00:33:16.860 politicized,

00:33:17.560 somebody heard

00:33:18.580 somebody.

00:33:19.360 That's

00:33:19.800 different.

00:33:21.140 But the

00:33:21.780 way he says

00:33:22.300 it makes

00:33:22.920 you hear it

00:33:24.540 exactly the

00:33:25.200 way you want

00:33:25.600 to hear it.

00:33:26.800 But there's

00:33:27.340 no mistake.

00:33:28.540 There's no

00:33:28.920 mistake.

00:33:29.680 He doesn't

00:33:30.000 have to

00:33:30.280 apologize

00:33:30.720 later,

00:33:31.660 won't have

00:33:32.060 to correct

00:33:32.540 anything if

00:33:33.520 there's somebody

00:33:34.320 he doesn't

00:33:34.700 pardon, for

00:33:35.400 example.

00:33:35.720 And he

00:33:39.300 focuses on

00:33:40.120 people who

00:33:40.440 are denied

00:33:40.900 constitutional

00:33:41.580 due process.

00:33:44.420 And then he

00:33:45.300 says it's

00:33:45.760 important that

00:33:46.320 every GOP

00:33:47.040 candidate is

00:33:48.160 clear about

00:33:49.000 where we

00:33:49.440 stand on

00:33:50.160 the hard

00:33:50.540 issues, not

00:33:51.980 just railing

00:33:52.680 against Biden

00:33:53.360 and wokeness.

00:33:55.360 That's really

00:33:56.260 good framing.

00:33:58.020 Basically, he's

00:33:58.960 challenged the

00:33:59.540 other candidates

00:34:00.200 to be as

00:34:00.680 bold as he

00:34:01.440 is on a

00:34:03.080 topic that's

00:34:04.040 not as

00:34:04.600 easy as

00:34:05.100 saying Biden

00:34:05.920 has dementia.

00:34:08.060 It's good.

00:34:09.140 It's all

00:34:09.520 good.

00:34:11.960 I think

00:34:12.640 weaponized

00:34:13.200 government in

00:34:14.160 rigged

00:34:14.640 election are

00:34:15.260 just really

00:34:15.700 the same

00:34:16.100 thing at

00:34:16.460 this point.

00:34:18.100 I see the

00:34:18.660 January 6th

00:34:19.700 prosecutions

00:34:21.260 except for

00:34:22.780 one moment

00:34:24.280 here.

00:34:26.120 Dale, could

00:34:27.440 you come in

00:34:27.960 and tell us

00:34:29.020 the thing that

00:34:29.640 the NPCs

00:34:30.480 always have to

00:34:31.040 tell us?

00:34:31.840 Some of the

00:34:32.400 January 6th

00:34:33.060 people were

00:34:33.480 violent.

00:34:34.600 Some of

00:34:34.980 them were

00:34:35.200 violent.

00:34:36.660 Some of

00:34:37.120 them wanted

00:34:37.440 to take

00:34:37.740 over the

00:34:37.960 country.

00:34:39.940 Thank you,

00:34:40.460 Dale.

00:34:41.320 Go back.

00:34:44.240 Stipulated.

00:34:45.620 Stipulated.

00:34:46.220 Some of

00:34:46.500 them were

00:34:46.780 bad.

00:34:48.480 But most

00:34:50.220 of them were

00:34:50.600 just protesting.

00:34:52.060 And to me,

00:34:53.320 this weaponized

00:34:54.120 government stuff

00:34:54.880 is just rigged

00:34:55.600 election.

00:34:57.320 So I just

00:34:59.320 think it's

00:34:59.700 already rigged.

00:35:01.460 They're already

00:35:02.220 telling us who

00:35:02.880 can be the

00:35:03.400 candidate.

00:35:04.040 by trying to

00:35:05.540 take Trump

00:35:05.940 out,

00:35:06.320 basically.

00:35:07.760 So I

00:35:09.700 believe the

00:35:10.320 left has

00:35:11.000 lost,

00:35:11.660 they've lost

00:35:12.220 the argument.

00:35:13.780 The fact

00:35:14.460 that Trump

00:35:14.960 even has to

00:35:15.800 go through

00:35:16.320 this thing

00:35:18.140 he's going

00:35:18.560 through with

00:35:19.100 January 6th,

00:35:20.000 the fact

00:35:20.660 that it's

00:35:20.860 even a

00:35:21.280 thing is

00:35:22.380 a rigged

00:35:22.780 election.

00:35:23.880 So you

00:35:24.320 can stop

00:35:24.900 saying,

00:35:25.460 will it be

00:35:25.840 rigged?

00:35:26.860 You can say

00:35:27.560 it is rigged,

00:35:28.600 it's being

00:35:29.080 rigged in front

00:35:29.680 of you,

00:35:30.400 and there's

00:35:30.800 no doubt

00:35:31.180 about it.

00:35:31.940 We can

00:35:32.240 all see

00:35:32.560 it.

00:35:33.480 There's

00:35:33.900 nothing I've

00:35:34.440 mentioned that

00:35:34.920 isn't obvious

00:35:35.700 to everybody,

00:35:37.480 even Democrats.

00:35:39.380 And I'll say

00:35:40.080 it again,

00:35:40.740 I'm pretty

00:35:41.380 sure that any

00:35:42.260 Democrat who's

00:35:43.400 informed and

00:35:44.440 paying attention,

00:35:45.700 you don't think

00:35:46.360 that they know

00:35:47.100 that the

00:35:49.100 prosecution is

00:35:49.860 only because

00:35:50.380 of Trump.

00:35:51.360 They know it.

00:35:52.580 Of course they

00:35:53.140 know it.

00:35:53.420 They just don't

00:35:53.940 care because

00:35:54.900 it might

00:35:55.180 work.

00:35:57.820 All right.

00:35:59.460 Matt,

00:35:59.880 Taibbi is

00:36:01.260 writing more

00:36:02.000 about this

00:36:02.400 lab leak

00:36:03.260 theory.

00:36:04.420 God, I'm

00:36:04.800 so sick of

00:36:05.340 this story,

00:36:05.940 but I'll

00:36:06.160 just tell

00:36:06.540 you that

00:36:06.880 there's more

00:36:08.340 documents have

00:36:10.180 been made

00:36:11.060 public, I

00:36:12.140 think accidentally

00:36:12.860 in this case,

00:36:14.200 and the

00:36:14.760 people, the

00:36:15.660 scientists and

00:36:16.400 experts who

00:36:16.940 were early on

00:36:17.720 talking about

00:36:18.220 the lab leak

00:36:18.880 theory seem

00:36:20.300 to have

00:36:20.640 indicated some

00:36:22.240 intention of

00:36:23.340 hiding the

00:36:23.940 truth.

00:36:26.640 Surprise.

00:36:28.240 Surprise.

00:36:30.400 All right.

00:36:30.760 Well, in

00:36:31.820 light of all

00:36:32.600 this awfulness,

00:36:33.600 the weaponized

00:36:34.660 government, the

00:36:35.540 lab leaks, the

00:36:36.460 lies, RFK

00:36:38.500 Jr., by the

00:36:39.160 way, says he

00:36:39.860 would prosecute

00:36:41.800 Fauci if he

00:36:42.700 got elected,

00:36:44.080 assuming Fauci

00:36:45.040 had committed

00:36:45.700 some crimes and

00:36:46.580 it had been

00:36:47.120 demonstrated.

00:36:48.720 So what do

00:36:49.500 you think of

00:36:49.840 RFK Jr.

00:36:50.620 saying he

00:36:51.040 would prosecute

00:36:51.860 Fauci if he

00:36:52.840 got elected?

00:36:53.940 Anybody in

00:36:55.840 favor of

00:36:56.180 that?

00:36:57.740 If Fauci

00:36:58.780 is found

00:36:59.200 guilty.

00:37:01.720 Seriously, you're

00:37:02.520 in favor of

00:37:03.000 that.

00:37:03.600 After I just

00:37:04.220 talked for

00:37:04.740 like 10

00:37:05.560 fucking minutes

00:37:06.320 saying that

00:37:07.360 Trump was

00:37:07.880 obviously a

00:37:08.600 political

00:37:08.960 prosecution, and

00:37:10.340 you don't see

00:37:10.780 that as a

00:37:11.200 political

00:37:11.520 prosecution.

00:37:12.020 Of course it

00:37:13.920 would be.

00:37:15.080 He would be

00:37:15.560 doing it so he

00:37:16.160 could become

00:37:16.580 president.

00:37:17.720 He's using the

00:37:18.680 issue to make

00:37:19.500 himself president.

00:37:20.300 It's a

00:37:21.040 fucking

00:37:21.360 political

00:37:21.900 statement.

00:37:23.520 I'm not

00:37:24.080 supporting

00:37:24.440 Fauci, by

00:37:25.040 the way.

00:37:25.960 If you're

00:37:26.320 hearing that,

00:37:26.800 you're hearing

00:37:27.120 it wrong.

00:37:27.940 This is not

00:37:28.480 supportive

00:37:28.880 Fauci.

00:37:29.760 I'm anti-RFK

00:37:31.160 Jr.

00:37:32.060 saying that

00:37:32.640 one of the

00:37:33.080 reasons you

00:37:33.500 should elect

00:37:33.920 him is he'll

00:37:34.400 put his

00:37:34.740 political rival

00:37:35.640 in fucking

00:37:36.280 jail.

00:37:37.120 No, not

00:37:38.200 cool.

00:37:38.940 By the way, I

00:37:39.420 like RFK Jr.

00:37:40.300 in a lot of

00:37:40.840 ways, but

00:37:41.440 not this.

00:37:43.000 All right, this

00:37:43.860 is a mistake

00:37:44.820 Vivek wouldn't

00:37:45.540 make.

00:37:46.980 You would not

00:37:47.680 make this

00:37:48.080 mistake.

00:37:48.520 Vivek would

00:37:49.920 say probably,

00:37:51.520 just because

00:37:52.060 he's Vivek.

00:37:53.540 He'd probably

00:37:54.160 say something

00:37:54.660 more like,

00:37:55.740 we'll look

00:37:56.140 into, you

00:37:56.880 know, if

00:37:57.080 there was a

00:37:57.420 cover-up, and

00:37:58.480 if there were

00:37:59.040 any crimes, then

00:38:00.200 of course we

00:38:00.800 would act.

00:38:02.500 But if you

00:38:03.080 say, you

00:38:03.620 know, I

00:38:03.940 would prosecute

00:38:05.200 Fauci, you

00:38:06.060 know, with

00:38:06.440 the caveat

00:38:06.980 that he's

00:38:07.420 committed real

00:38:08.480 crimes, I'm

00:38:10.400 not cool with

00:38:10.940 that.

00:38:11.880 I'm not cool

00:38:12.580 saying you're

00:38:13.120 going to lock

00:38:13.480 somebody up, and

00:38:14.840 that's why you

00:38:15.340 should run.

00:38:15.740 And by the

00:38:16.100 way, when

00:38:16.940 Trump said he

00:38:17.620 would lock

00:38:18.040 up, he'll

00:38:18.500 Hillary, I

00:38:19.020 wasn't cool

00:38:19.500 with that

00:38:19.840 either.

00:38:20.760 Not cool.

00:38:21.820 It was funny.

00:38:22.800 It was very

00:38:23.220 funny when he

00:38:24.400 said it, because

00:38:24.800 he said it

00:38:25.220 during a

00:38:25.560 debate, but

00:38:26.400 not cool.

00:38:28.200 And I

00:38:29.240 would also

00:38:30.040 argue that

00:38:31.180 maybe Trump

00:38:31.800 saying he

00:38:32.240 would lock

00:38:32.620 up Hillary

00:38:33.060 is the

00:38:33.500 reason he's

00:38:34.060 got so many

00:38:34.580 legal problems

00:38:35.220 now.

00:38:36.260 He may have

00:38:37.100 been the

00:38:37.680 one who

00:38:37.940 set the

00:38:38.280 precedent,

00:38:39.200 because I

00:38:39.660 think they

00:38:40.000 believed it.

00:38:41.360 I don't

00:38:41.700 think they

00:38:42.060 thought he

00:38:42.400 was bluffing.

00:38:44.440 He might

00:38:44.780 have been

00:38:45.000 bluffing, but

00:38:45.600 I don't

00:38:45.800 think they

00:38:46.100 thought he

00:38:46.460 was.

00:38:46.700 So, no, I

00:38:49.380 do not

00:38:49.900 agree with

00:38:50.500 politicizing

00:38:51.480 prosecutions.

00:38:54.240 And I

00:38:54.580 think RFK

00:38:55.200 Jr.

00:38:55.600 is doing

00:38:55.940 the same

00:38:56.300 thing that

00:38:58.400 the Democrats

00:38:59.180 are doing.

00:39:00.480 So, don't

00:39:01.540 do that.

00:39:02.920 All right.

00:39:03.200 So, in the

00:39:05.280 midst of all

00:39:05.980 this badness in

00:39:07.260 the world, you

00:39:09.080 would not be

00:39:09.640 surprised that

00:39:10.740 on the show

00:39:11.900 ABC's The

00:39:12.860 View,

00:39:13.140 Whoopi

00:39:14.380 Goldberg got

00:39:15.780 mad after

00:39:16.500 a heated

00:39:16.780 exchange and

00:39:17.400 just walked

00:39:17.840 off the

00:39:18.200 show.

00:39:19.120 Just walked

00:39:19.560 off the

00:39:19.880 show.

00:39:20.840 Because there

00:39:21.380 are a lot of

00:39:21.760 pretty big

00:39:22.240 issues in

00:39:22.720 the world,

00:39:23.160 and you

00:39:23.320 can see how

00:39:23.860 somebody would

00:39:24.440 get kind of

00:39:24.880 worked up over

00:39:25.540 them, right?

00:39:26.880 So, man,

00:39:27.380 Whoopi just

00:39:27.820 finally had too

00:39:28.580 much and walked

00:39:29.180 off the show.

00:39:29.800 The specific

00:39:30.500 topic was

00:39:31.480 people taking

00:39:33.460 selfies at a

00:39:34.620 Miranda Lambert

00:39:35.680 concert.

00:39:38.520 Okay, maybe she

00:39:39.380 didn't pick her

00:39:40.120 moment exactly

00:39:41.160 right.

00:39:43.220 Timing is,

00:39:45.040 well, you

00:39:45.440 know what

00:39:45.620 timing is,

00:39:47.260 right?

00:39:49.080 Timing is

00:39:49.880 everything.

00:39:54.680 Everything.

00:39:56.080 Yeah.

00:39:56.660 See what I

00:39:57.400 did there.

00:39:58.580 All right.

00:39:59.940 But that was

00:40:00.800 funny.

00:40:01.640 That was her

00:40:02.460 moment.

00:40:03.520 You know,

00:40:03.900 this Miranda

00:40:04.680 Lambert selfie

00:40:07.060 taking thing.

00:40:09.120 Ooh.

00:40:09.360 That's where

00:40:11.120 I'm going to

00:40:11.480 draw the line.

00:40:13.680 Weaponized

00:40:14.200 government?

00:40:15.360 Eh.

00:40:16.880 Miranda

00:40:17.400 Lambert selfies?

00:40:18.920 I'm out.

00:40:19.900 Oh, I'm out.

00:40:21.060 Oh, I'm out of

00:40:21.680 here.

00:40:23.020 All right.

00:40:23.680 There was a

00:40:24.080 rumor on the

00:40:25.140 internet that

00:40:26.320 was not true.

00:40:27.580 They said Musk

00:40:28.380 might want to

00:40:28.960 buy Fox News.

00:40:30.560 That was brought

00:40:31.660 up by his

00:40:33.120 parody account.

00:40:34.040 I have now

00:40:36.120 been fooled by

00:40:37.060 the Elon Musk

00:40:37.880 parody account.

00:40:40.240 Four times?

00:40:42.700 The fucker just

00:40:44.260 keeps getting me

00:40:45.000 over and over

00:40:45.680 again.

00:40:46.820 He just keeps

00:40:47.880 getting me.

00:40:49.360 And the

00:40:50.320 problem is that

00:40:51.360 his tweets are

00:40:52.080 too close to

00:40:52.940 what Musk might

00:40:53.960 tweet.

00:40:55.320 Right?

00:40:56.400 Yeah, I think I

00:40:57.160 muted it the other

00:40:58.400 day, but then I

00:40:59.200 unmuted it for

00:40:59.960 something.

00:41:00.280 Anyway.

00:41:02.640 But I guess Musk

00:41:03.920 laughed at the

00:41:04.900 comment, which

00:41:05.780 made people think

00:41:06.560 that maybe he was

00:41:07.360 considering it or

00:41:08.320 something.

00:41:09.020 But there's no

00:41:09.900 evidence that

00:41:11.000 that's a thing.

00:41:12.840 All right, but

00:41:13.120 watch out for the

00:41:13.780 Musk parody account.

00:41:15.140 It's actually

00:41:15.580 labeled parody.

00:41:17.440 It says right on

00:41:18.340 the label, parody.

00:41:19.580 But somehow you

00:41:20.380 see the face, and

00:41:22.860 you see the Elon

00:41:23.560 Musk, and you

00:41:24.260 just don't read to

00:41:24.940 the end of the

00:41:25.400 sentence.

00:41:26.700 Four times he's

00:41:27.820 got me, where I

00:41:29.080 started to, I

00:41:30.240 think a few times,

00:41:31.240 I think once I

00:41:32.020 might have even

00:41:32.540 tweeted him, because

00:41:34.240 I thought it was

00:41:34.800 real.

00:41:35.200 And I kind of

00:41:36.040 quickly deleted

00:41:37.580 it.

00:41:38.480 But embarrassing,

00:41:39.740 he's good at what

00:41:40.540 he does, the

00:41:41.240 parody account.

00:41:43.160 All right.

00:41:45.940 So I keep

00:41:47.180 telling you that

00:41:47.860 you should follow

00:41:48.540 this account,

00:41:49.780 Kanakoa the

00:41:50.620 Great.

00:41:51.740 It starts with

00:41:52.580 a K.

00:41:53.920 Kanakoa the

00:41:54.500 Great.

00:41:55.220 And you can

00:41:55.680 see, if you

00:41:56.740 want to find it,

00:41:57.420 just look on my

00:41:58.440 Twitter feed today,

00:42:00.460 because I'm

00:42:00.880 retweeting, a

00:42:02.140 long thread.

00:42:02.860 And the reason

00:42:03.920 you should follow

00:42:04.500 is that his

00:42:05.160 threads are just

00:42:05.880 kind of amazing.

00:42:08.060 Like, they're

00:42:08.440 just the best

00:42:09.100 summaries of,

00:42:10.720 like, a real

00:42:11.200 thing that you

00:42:11.720 need to know

00:42:12.180 about in the

00:42:12.680 news.

00:42:13.220 I don't know

00:42:13.640 who he is,

00:42:14.220 but he just,

00:42:15.240 he delivers,

00:42:16.140 I think it's

00:42:16.600 a he, delivers

00:42:17.940 the goods

00:42:18.300 continuously.

00:42:19.860 Anyway, so,

00:42:21.140 and he's so

00:42:21.720 good that I

00:42:23.100 want to just

00:42:23.520 read his

00:42:24.060 thread to you,

00:42:24.980 if you don't

00:42:25.460 mind, because

00:42:27.080 he summarizes

00:42:27.860 so well.

00:42:28.940 And the

00:42:31.980 context is

00:42:32.980 Trump being

00:42:33.840 indicted, it

00:42:35.060 looks like, for

00:42:36.380 January 6th

00:42:37.360 related things.

00:42:38.860 And the big

00:42:39.680 issue there was

00:42:40.560 trying to get

00:42:41.280 these so-called

00:42:42.160 fake electors to

00:42:45.440 put Trump in

00:42:46.120 power instead of

00:42:47.380 the people that

00:42:48.580 they had vowed

00:42:49.200 to back, you

00:42:51.060 know, in the

00:42:51.540 electoral college.

00:42:52.920 So the

00:42:53.260 Democrats, of

00:42:53.900 course, are

00:42:54.440 saying that

00:42:54.900 Trump is a

00:42:55.560 monster and

00:42:57.040 insurrectionist

00:42:58.380 for trying to

00:42:59.120 get electors to

00:43:00.320 be replaced.

00:43:02.980 So here's

00:43:03.720 some context.

00:43:06.360 All right,

00:43:07.040 you ready for

00:43:07.400 the context?

00:43:08.620 Thread.

00:43:09.320 In 2016,

00:43:10.920 Democrats,

00:43:11.700 Hollywood

00:43:12.000 celebrities,

00:43:12.760 and corporate

00:43:13.220 news outlets

00:43:13.860 urged electors

00:43:15.020 to vote against

00:43:15.840 President-elect

00:43:16.840 Donald Trump.

00:43:18.760 So, exactly

00:43:19.620 the same

00:43:20.020 situation.

00:43:21.340 Lawrence

00:43:21.940 Lessig's article

00:43:22.980 in the

00:43:23.300 Washington Post

00:43:24.540 in 2016

00:43:26.800 argued that

00:43:27.680 Republican

00:43:28.500 electors had

00:43:29.640 the constitutional

00:43:30.540 right and

00:43:31.440 duty to

00:43:32.480 switch their

00:43:33.220 votes from

00:43:34.000 Trump to

00:43:34.660 Hillary Clinton.

00:43:36.740 Now, I

00:43:37.720 don't even

00:43:38.060 remember that

00:43:38.860 because when

00:43:40.680 it happened,

00:43:41.160 I just thought

00:43:41.600 it was, you

00:43:42.120 know, just

00:43:42.420 blah, blah,

00:43:43.140 blah, people

00:43:43.640 talking.

00:43:44.720 It never

00:43:45.320 seemed real.

00:43:47.600 You know,

00:43:47.780 many of you

00:43:48.320 remember it,

00:43:48.860 but for some

00:43:49.420 reason, it

00:43:50.000 just completely

00:43:50.680 passed me by

00:43:52.380 because it

00:43:53.640 didn't seem

00:43:54.040 important at

00:43:54.640 the time.

00:43:55.500 But we'll

00:43:56.040 go on.

00:43:56.460 This sparked

00:43:58.680 a movement

00:43:59.200 supported by

00:43:59.880 figures like

00:44:00.560 Michael Moore,

00:44:01.900 John Podesta,

00:44:03.580 Keith Olbermann,

00:44:04.540 my mascot,

00:44:05.800 Rosie O'Donnell,

00:44:06.940 and several

00:44:07.380 Hollywood celebrities.

00:44:08.980 While they

00:44:09.380 only convinced

00:44:10.020 a few electors,

00:44:11.520 wait, they

00:44:12.040 actually convinced

00:44:13.020 a few electors.

00:44:14.740 They actually

00:44:15.680 convinced some.

00:44:18.440 It's important

00:44:19.340 to recognize

00:44:19.820 the double

00:44:20.300 standard of

00:44:20.940 justice and

00:44:21.580 the treatment

00:44:21.960 of Democrats

00:44:22.560 and Republicans

00:44:23.520 when objecting

00:44:25.160 to elections.

00:44:27.380 Oh, we're

00:44:27.780 not done.

00:44:28.900 We're not

00:44:29.180 done.

00:44:29.980 Kanakoa the

00:44:30.640 Great goes

00:44:31.160 on in his

00:44:31.760 great thread

00:44:32.320 today.

00:44:33.300 Liberal

00:44:33.740 activists like

00:44:34.480 Chris Hayes,

00:44:35.320 Norm Eisen,

00:44:36.500 Lawrence Tribe,

00:44:37.500 and George

00:44:37.920 Takai urged

00:44:39.180 electors to

00:44:39.880 vote against

00:44:40.520 President-elect

00:44:43.200 Donald Trump

00:44:43.740 in 2016.

00:44:46.140 By the way,

00:44:46.760 remember I

00:44:47.200 told you I

00:44:47.660 was dyslexic?

00:44:49.440 You know,

00:44:49.660 I have trouble

00:44:50.120 reading things

00:44:50.820 in public.

00:44:51.880 Did you see

00:44:52.440 that?

00:44:53.260 I just said

00:44:53.920 Trump elect.

00:44:55.720 You can see

00:44:56.200 the sentence.

00:44:57.580 So it's

00:44:57.920 President-elect

00:44:58.780 Donald Trump,

00:45:00.460 but my brain

00:45:01.300 actually put a

00:45:02.700 word in there

00:45:03.180 that wasn't

00:45:03.560 there.

00:45:03.940 So I read

00:45:04.780 it as

00:45:05.080 Trump elect.

00:45:06.320 That's why

00:45:06.760 I bailed out

00:45:07.480 of reading

00:45:11.040 the audio

00:45:11.480 book for

00:45:11.960 my new

00:45:12.300 book.

00:45:12.920 So I'm

00:45:13.200 going to

00:45:13.460 hire somebody

00:45:14.080 to do it.

00:45:14.920 I just

00:45:15.340 couldn't read

00:45:16.060 the sentences

00:45:16.800 as they were

00:45:17.380 written.

00:45:17.860 And I wrote

00:45:18.300 them.

00:45:18.680 They were my

00:45:19.040 own sentences

00:45:19.600 and I still

00:45:20.140 couldn't read

00:45:20.560 them when I

00:45:21.660 needed to.

00:45:22.080 I tried.

00:45:23.140 Tried for

00:45:23.680 hours, but I

00:45:24.260 couldn't get

00:45:24.580 it.

00:45:25.160 So anyway,

00:45:26.260 back to this.

00:45:28.600 Can I go to

00:45:29.340 the Great's

00:45:29.760 thread?

00:45:30.100 He says,

00:45:30.640 liberal activists

00:45:31.460 like Mark

00:45:32.080 Ruffalo,

00:45:32.960 Rosie O'Donnell,

00:45:34.260 Neera Tanden,

00:45:35.080 and Pink urged

00:45:36.280 electors to flip

00:45:37.160 their votes from

00:45:37.980 Donald Trump to

00:45:38.800 Hillary.

00:45:39.260 This is in

00:45:39.720 2016.

00:45:41.300 Chris Hayes and

00:45:42.020 Michael Moore

00:45:42.560 pushed for

00:45:43.580 electors to

00:45:44.220 block President-elect

00:45:45.540 Donald Trump from

00:45:46.540 becoming the

00:45:47.120 president.

00:45:47.580 on MSNBC, they

00:45:50.540 did that.

00:45:50.960 They think

00:45:52.060 electors should be

00:45:52.880 persuaded to

00:45:54.280 part with their

00:45:54.940 pledges and vote

00:45:55.820 against Donald

00:45:56.680 Trump.

00:45:57.820 Yes, they

00:45:58.560 absolutely should

00:45:59.380 do that.

00:46:00.220 So here's a

00:46:00.700 quote where

00:46:01.840 they're saying,

00:46:03.120 yes, absolutely,

00:46:04.580 the electors should

00:46:05.540 not vote the way

00:46:06.680 they're committed.

00:46:07.860 Exactly what Trump

00:46:09.000 wanted.

00:46:10.200 Or is it exact?

00:46:11.260 It sounds exact.

00:46:12.260 In an open

00:46:15.160 letter posted on

00:46:15.860 his Facebook

00:46:16.320 account, Michael

00:46:17.040 Moore pledged to

00:46:17.900 cover the fines of

00:46:19.080 electors if they

00:46:20.000 voted against

00:46:20.820 President-elect

00:46:21.840 Donald Trump.

00:46:23.580 Harvard law

00:46:24.420 professor Lawrence

00:46:25.420 Lessig extended an

00:46:27.380 offer to provide

00:46:28.180 free legal service.

00:46:29.900 You see what I did

00:46:30.480 again?

00:46:31.440 I read legal free,

00:46:33.700 but the words on

00:46:34.440 the page are free

00:46:35.200 legal.

00:46:36.780 And I had to

00:46:37.300 stop because they

00:46:39.380 switched around in

00:46:40.140 my mind.

00:46:42.260 free legal service.

00:46:43.860 The Daily Beast

00:46:44.600 said, quote,

00:46:45.460 it's not too late

00:46:46.340 for electors to

00:46:47.180 change history.

00:46:49.360 Slate said,

00:46:50.820 will enough

00:46:51.500 electors go rogue

00:46:52.460 to stop Trump?

00:46:54.000 Vox said, quote,

00:46:55.500 let conscientious

00:46:56.520 electors do their

00:46:57.440 jobs.

00:46:59.580 And Time said,

00:47:00.760 electors against

00:47:01.500 Trump are faithful,

00:47:02.680 not faithless,

00:47:04.540 suggesting they

00:47:05.460 should make the

00:47:06.360 moral decision to

00:47:07.760 vote against them.

00:47:08.400 liberal celebrities

00:47:13.740 like Martin

00:47:14.340 Sheehan and

00:47:14.860 Moby released a

00:47:16.400 video begging

00:47:17.160 electors to be

00:47:18.080 heroes by voting

00:47:19.580 against President-elect

00:47:20.840 Donald Trump.

00:47:22.980 Forget that,

00:47:25.380 because I'd have to

00:47:25.900 read a quote.

00:47:26.840 I couldn't.

00:47:29.320 That's me covering

00:47:30.500 again.

00:47:32.260 I told you,

00:47:33.240 some people I told

00:47:34.260 the other day,

00:47:35.180 that I cover my

00:47:36.260 dyslexia sometimes

00:47:37.300 by laughing,

00:47:38.620 like I thought of

00:47:39.460 something or like

00:47:40.900 I'm halfway through

00:47:41.520 the sentence and

00:47:42.260 I'll just laugh.

00:47:43.180 It's because I

00:47:43.940 couldn't read the

00:47:44.460 sentence.

00:47:45.880 It's not that I

00:47:46.700 can't read.

00:47:47.720 It's that the words

00:47:48.720 were jumping too

00:47:49.420 much.

00:47:49.940 I had to slow

00:47:51.180 down until the

00:47:51.920 words stopped

00:47:52.380 jumping and then

00:47:53.120 I get back in.

00:47:55.580 Yeah.

00:47:56.300 All right, so a

00:47:57.020 bunch of other

00:47:57.740 celebrities and

00:47:58.900 stuff.

00:47:59.560 Barbara Boxer was

00:48:01.080 trying to do it.

00:48:03.080 Other Democrats.

00:48:07.300 And this is

00:48:09.300 Senator Clinton.

00:48:10.460 She said,

00:48:11.260 so Hillary said,

00:48:12.600 as we look at our

00:48:13.320 election system,

00:48:14.360 I think it's fair to

00:48:15.240 say that there are

00:48:16.060 many legitimate

00:48:17.240 questions about its

00:48:18.220 accuracy, about its

00:48:19.680 integrity, and they're

00:48:20.960 not confined to the

00:48:21.960 state of Ohio.

00:48:23.400 So there was Hillary

00:48:24.600 Clinton doubting the

00:48:25.800 outcome of the

00:48:26.680 election, as she did

00:48:28.340 many times.

00:48:30.060 All right.

00:48:30.520 And then

00:48:31.120 Kanakawa, the

00:48:32.120 great, summarizes,

00:48:33.740 he says,

00:48:34.280 remember the

00:48:34.780 Democrats objected

00:48:36.060 to the last three

00:48:37.620 presidential election

00:48:38.880 contests won by

00:48:40.360 Republicans.

00:48:43.200 At the same time,

00:48:44.460 they're weaponizing

00:48:45.080 the justice system

00:48:46.120 against Trump.

00:48:48.800 Now, once again,

00:48:51.820 the Tucker Carlson

00:48:53.240 warning that the

00:48:55.640 Democrats are doing

00:48:56.960 whatever they're

00:48:57.620 accusing you of,

00:48:58.740 here it is.

00:48:59.860 It's what they did

00:49:01.220 for three election

00:49:02.160 cycles, and then

00:49:03.720 the moment Trump

00:49:04.460 did it, it's

00:49:05.340 illegal, and he's

00:49:06.540 got to go to jail

00:49:07.220 for it.

00:49:08.180 What they did for

00:49:09.160 three election

00:49:10.100 cycles.

00:49:11.600 Now, you could

00:49:12.400 argue that

00:49:14.680 celebrities talking

00:49:15.860 about it and, you

00:49:17.040 know, just people

00:49:17.600 talking is different

00:49:18.640 from trying to

00:49:20.420 organize them

00:49:21.240 directly to vote

00:49:22.540 against, but is

00:49:23.780 it?

00:49:25.140 Is it different?

00:49:27.200 I don't know.

00:49:27.820 It doesn't seem

00:49:28.320 too different.

00:49:29.540 It seems kind of

00:49:30.340 similar to me.

00:49:31.860 So to me, it looks

00:49:32.900 like they're trying to

00:49:33.540 put Trump in jail

00:49:34.540 for free speech.

00:49:38.500 Roseanne Barr is

00:49:39.380 making a splash.

00:49:41.980 She's back on

00:49:42.700 Twitter and

00:49:43.360 tweeting away.

00:49:45.160 And I guess she

00:49:47.900 saw one of my

00:49:49.220 tweets yesterday and

00:49:50.420 invited me on her

00:49:51.500 podcast.

00:49:53.380 Do you think I

00:49:54.220 should do it?

00:49:55.700 Should I go on

00:49:56.500 Roseanne's podcast?

00:49:58.620 I already said yes.

00:50:00.160 Of course I said yes.

00:50:01.320 Do you think I'd

00:50:02.620 miss that?

00:50:03.980 So I'm going to

00:50:05.020 emerge from a long

00:50:06.960 period of not doing

00:50:08.380 interviews.

00:50:10.780 Probably in two,

00:50:12.460 three weeks.

00:50:13.620 So I haven't

00:50:14.340 scheduled it yet.

00:50:16.140 So we'll see what

00:50:16.860 happens.

00:50:17.740 But I'm going to go

00:50:20.200 back on the podcast

00:50:22.340 interview circuit in a

00:50:24.000 few weeks when my

00:50:25.100 book launches.

00:50:27.000 It's always good to

00:50:27.700 have a book out if

00:50:28.820 you're going on

00:50:29.400 interviews.

00:50:30.960 So, you know, it's

00:50:33.680 funny.

00:50:33.980 I get invited to a

00:50:35.480 lot of podcasts.

00:50:36.420 It's a fairly common

00:50:37.480 thing.

00:50:39.300 And, you know,

00:50:40.220 certainly when Joe

00:50:41.220 Rogan invited me

00:50:42.460 some years ago, I

00:50:43.820 immediately said yes.

00:50:45.640 But I've never said

00:50:46.780 yes this fast.

00:50:49.520 This is the fastest

00:50:50.580 yes.

00:50:52.140 Like, I said yes so

00:50:53.580 hard I didn't even

00:50:54.160 know how to type it.

00:50:55.580 It was like, what's

00:50:56.640 bigger than yes?

00:50:57.320 Is there like yes

00:50:59.520 plus?

00:51:00.480 Can I go yes turbo?

00:51:03.620 So I can't even

00:51:04.720 imagine what would

00:51:05.500 be more fun than

00:51:07.720 talking to Roseanne in

00:51:09.500 the context of both

00:51:10.540 of us being canceled.

00:51:12.900 That just sounds like a

00:51:14.080 good time.

00:51:15.100 So I can't wait.

00:51:16.260 Anyway, I'll let you

00:51:16.900 know when that

00:51:17.280 happens.

00:51:18.380 When it happens.

00:51:21.140 And I'm going to

00:51:22.980 vamp for about five

00:51:23.860 minutes to get to an

00:51:24.740 hour.

00:51:24.920 So, is there

00:51:26.720 anything I missed

00:51:27.320 today?

00:51:28.440 Any stories I

00:51:29.140 missed?

00:51:35.440 Go to Hawaii.

00:51:38.060 Is she in Hawaii?

00:51:40.180 I don't know where

00:51:41.100 she lives.

00:51:43.720 I see people

00:51:44.740 mentioning Hawaii.

00:51:45.820 Is that where she

00:51:46.260 lives?

00:51:49.380 Oh, Texas and

00:51:50.660 Hawaii.

00:51:51.300 Well, those are

00:51:52.760 good choices.

00:51:53.360 Do you know which

00:51:55.040 island?

00:51:55.860 Which island in

00:51:56.720 Hawaii?

00:51:59.140 Because if it's

00:52:00.040 Maui, I'll go

00:52:01.640 tomorrow.

00:52:04.320 I haven't been to

00:52:05.300 the other islands.

00:52:06.180 Well, I have, but

00:52:07.180 only to be there for

00:52:10.020 work.

00:52:12.580 Prisoner Island.

00:52:13.600 All right.

00:52:13.840 Tim Kast and the

00:52:19.420 Lotus Eaters.

00:52:20.100 Is that his band?

00:52:23.100 Remember how

00:52:23.840 Rogan mistreated

00:52:24.980 Scott on his

00:52:25.840 podcast?

00:52:26.600 That didn't

00:52:27.060 happen.

00:52:28.020 What are you

00:52:28.460 talking about?

00:52:29.600 You think Joe

00:52:30.520 Rogan mistreated

00:52:31.320 me?

00:52:32.380 Nothing like that

00:52:33.240 happened.

00:52:35.660 Is that a

00:52:36.460 complete

00:52:36.780 hallucination?

00:52:39.280 Wow.

00:52:40.520 Hollywood

00:52:40.840 strikes.

00:52:41.380 How many

00:52:43.000 people feel bad

00:52:44.060 about the

00:52:44.480 Hollywood

00:52:44.840 strikes?

00:52:48.400 You know, I

00:52:49.420 do still like a

00:52:50.840 few shows, but

00:52:52.480 so few, so

00:52:54.860 few shows that I

00:52:56.320 don't know if I'd

00:52:56.880 miss it.

00:52:57.820 If all movies

00:52:58.660 went away, I

00:52:59.320 just don't know

00:52:59.900 if I'd care.

00:53:04.320 So Jason

00:53:05.200 Aldean got in

00:53:06.380 trouble, country

00:53:07.080 singer.

00:53:07.460 He apparently

00:53:09.640 has a song

00:53:10.440 that had some

00:53:11.840 images in the

00:53:12.820 video of Black

00:53:14.420 Lives Matter

00:53:15.020 burning stuff

00:53:15.620 down, and

00:53:17.440 somebody accused

00:53:19.760 him of being

00:53:20.380 pro-lynching,

00:53:21.880 which had

00:53:23.560 nothing to do

00:53:24.180 with the song

00:53:24.700 or the images.

00:53:26.600 Literally, it

00:53:28.060 just added

00:53:28.440 nothing,

00:53:29.460 apparently.

00:53:30.700 So yeah, he's

00:53:31.560 being accused

00:53:32.140 of pro-lynching,

00:53:34.800 as if.

00:53:35.720 You know, I

00:53:39.380 told you that

00:53:40.020 this is a

00:53:41.360 recreational

00:53:42.200 outrage.

00:53:44.320 Don't be

00:53:45.140 confused by

00:53:46.100 people who are

00:53:46.600 having fun

00:53:47.340 being mad at

00:53:48.060 somebody with

00:53:49.980 the person

00:53:50.660 actually doing

00:53:51.300 something.

00:53:52.960 The people who

00:53:54.520 are still coming

00:53:55.680 at me on

00:53:56.320 social media,

00:53:57.660 you can tell

00:53:58.480 they don't

00:53:58.880 believe what

00:53:59.360 they're saying

00:53:59.820 at all.

00:54:03.300 The trolls

00:54:04.600 who were

00:54:05.040 calling me a

00:54:06.300 racist,

00:54:06.860 specifically

00:54:07.360 calling me a

00:54:08.180 racist on

00:54:08.740 Twitter.

00:54:09.520 Do you think

00:54:10.000 any of them

00:54:10.540 believe it?

00:54:12.020 Like, actually

00:54:12.800 believe it?

00:54:13.720 I don't.

00:54:14.740 I mean, they

00:54:15.060 don't sound like

00:54:15.700 they believe it.

00:54:16.420 They sound like

00:54:17.080 they just have

00:54:17.540 a thing to do.

00:54:18.720 Like, oh, I'll

00:54:20.240 trot out this

00:54:21.560 thing, because

00:54:22.880 it's a thing I

00:54:23.580 can write, I

00:54:24.200 remember, and

00:54:24.920 this will make

00:54:27.380 you mad.

00:54:27.900 But part of

00:54:30.780 the reason the

00:54:31.840 criticism doesn't

00:54:33.600 bother me is

00:54:34.180 I know nobody

00:54:34.820 believes it.

00:54:36.400 I mean, I

00:54:36.780 know it.

00:54:39.020 Literally, no

00:54:39.980 one believes it.

00:54:41.060 But they all

00:54:41.680 recreational

00:54:43.100 pretend to

00:54:44.100 believe it.

00:54:45.860 And I think

00:54:46.660 Roseanne is in

00:54:47.700 exactly that

00:54:48.420 category.

00:54:50.280 Does anybody

00:54:51.060 believe that

00:54:51.640 Roseanne is a

00:54:52.840 racist or

00:54:54.280 anti-Semitic?

00:54:55.880 Isn't she

00:54:56.540 Jewish?

00:54:57.260 I think she's

00:54:57.980 Jewish, right?

00:54:59.000 So, who

00:54:59.820 believes the

00:55:01.220 reasons that she

00:55:01.900 got canceled?

00:55:03.120 Do you think

00:55:03.540 there's any, like,

00:55:04.240 real human being

00:55:05.380 who, if they

00:55:06.860 were standing

00:55:07.380 next to her in

00:55:08.480 the room, would

00:55:10.300 say to

00:55:10.660 themselves, yeah,

00:55:11.420 you're totally

00:55:12.220 anti-Semitic?

00:55:13.780 No.

00:55:14.640 I don't think

00:55:15.120 anybody believes

00:55:15.740 it.

00:55:16.360 These are purely

00:55:17.160 recreational beliefs.

00:55:19.340 Purely.

00:55:21.020 So, if you

00:55:22.220 want to get

00:55:22.520 recreationally angry

00:55:23.760 at me, eh,

00:55:24.920 it's okay with

00:55:25.660 me, because

00:55:26.980 it's just

00:55:27.420 something that's

00:55:27.920 happening in

00:55:28.340 your head.

00:55:29.120 It's not

00:55:29.540 something that's

00:55:30.080 really about

00:55:30.580 me.

00:55:31.380 It's just

00:55:31.760 something about

00:55:32.280 you that

00:55:33.640 uses my name.

00:55:34.620 You're welcome

00:55:35.060 to it.

00:55:40.100 All right.

00:55:42.260 You've handled

00:55:42.980 media crisis as

00:55:44.100 well as anyone.

00:55:45.640 But, you know,

00:55:46.560 you're the one

00:55:47.180 who called it a

00:55:47.800 crisis.

00:55:50.140 At what point

00:55:51.040 was it a crisis

00:55:51.840 for me?

00:55:52.420 I never

00:55:54.780 registered being

00:55:56.700 in a crisis.

00:55:58.300 It was just

00:55:58.880 sort of a thing

00:55:59.500 that happened.

00:56:01.400 And the timing

00:56:02.460 of the thing

00:56:02.940 that happened

00:56:03.340 was actually

00:56:03.860 kind of perfect.

00:56:05.560 So, I didn't

00:56:07.060 even register it

00:56:07.820 as bad news.

00:56:09.140 And I still

00:56:09.620 don't.

00:56:10.300 I never

00:56:10.700 registered it as

00:56:11.620 bad news.

00:56:12.200 It was just a

00:56:12.720 thing that

00:56:13.020 happened.

00:56:14.280 And then the

00:56:15.260 thing that

00:56:15.620 happened opened

00:56:16.360 up other doors,

00:56:18.200 you know,

00:56:18.400 created some

00:56:19.140 freedom for me,

00:56:20.120 gave me back

00:56:21.020 all of my

00:56:23.380 creative powers.

00:56:26.940 Like, I'm

00:56:27.440 actually enjoying

00:56:28.340 being creative

00:56:29.120 for the first

00:56:29.680 time in a few

00:56:30.860 decades, honestly.

00:56:32.400 Because you

00:56:33.140 couldn't really

00:56:33.520 do what you

00:56:34.300 want to do

00:56:34.940 if you're

00:56:35.740 always worried

00:56:36.260 about some

00:56:36.720 advertiser

00:56:37.340 complaining about

00:56:38.140 it.

00:56:39.060 So, now I

00:56:39.560 have a, you

00:56:40.800 know, my

00:56:41.300 business model

00:56:41.840 still has an

00:56:42.480 advertiser element,

00:56:43.780 but I'm not

00:56:44.360 connected to it.

00:56:46.620 So, I don't

00:56:47.160 have to bow to

00:56:48.360 it.

00:56:48.500 So, on the

00:56:49.760 YouTube feed,

00:56:51.200 because I

00:56:52.600 respect their

00:56:53.260 business model,

00:56:54.760 believe it or

00:56:55.280 not, I know

00:56:55.780 that's weird for

00:56:56.720 me, but I do

00:56:58.080 respect YouTube's

00:56:59.140 business model,

00:57:00.380 which is they

00:57:01.120 sell content

00:57:02.860 that they match

00:57:03.740 with advertisers,

00:57:05.280 and if they

00:57:05.760 can't match it

00:57:06.400 with an

00:57:06.700 advertiser,

00:57:08.420 they might

00:57:09.320 demote you.

00:57:11.300 That's not the

00:57:12.100 worst thing in

00:57:12.540 the world.

00:57:13.420 You know, we

00:57:13.920 could have more

00:57:14.420 of an argument

00:57:14.980 about getting

00:57:16.340 banned or outright

00:57:17.600 being taken

00:57:18.120 off or stuff,

00:57:19.100 but if there's

00:57:19.660 something that

00:57:20.120 the advertisers

00:57:20.860 can't abide,

00:57:23.840 that's their

00:57:24.600 business model.

00:57:26.040 You know, it's

00:57:26.360 not up to me to

00:57:27.000 change their

00:57:27.480 business model,

00:57:28.340 because I can

00:57:28.920 go somewhere

00:57:29.380 else, right?

00:57:30.260 So, I also

00:57:31.120 have subscriptions.

00:57:32.720 So, you can

00:57:33.520 subscribe on

00:57:34.260 Twitter, and

00:57:35.460 then I can say

00:57:36.020 whatever I want.

00:57:37.080 You can

00:57:37.440 subscribe on

00:57:38.560 Locals,

00:57:39.740 scottadams.locals.com,

00:57:41.680 and I can say

00:57:42.520 whatever I want

00:57:43.060 about politics as

00:57:44.000 well.

00:57:44.340 I don't do

00:57:44.800 politics on the

00:57:46.480 Twitter feed of

00:57:47.460 Dilbert Reborn.

00:57:49.060 That's just the

00:57:49.700 comic.

00:57:51.220 All right.

00:57:54.020 So, I think I

00:57:55.200 stalled long

00:57:57.020 enough.

00:57:57.800 I'm going to

00:57:58.620 say goodbye to

00:57:59.900 YouTube.

00:58:00.560 I just want to

00:58:01.020 give you a little

00:58:01.480 summary of where

00:58:02.240 things are.

00:58:04.060 Look at all the

00:58:04.980 stories that came

00:58:05.960 out this summer.

00:58:07.640 Just sort of think

00:58:08.440 about all the

00:58:09.060 stories you've heard

00:58:09.900 so far.

00:58:11.480 The vast majority

00:58:12.760 of them are about

00:58:13.600 things moving in

00:58:14.440 the right

00:58:14.700 direction.

00:58:16.600 The vast

00:58:17.040 majority.

00:58:18.000 Things are

00:58:18.560 actually, weirdly,

00:58:21.580 heading in a

00:58:22.300 positive way, in a

00:58:23.740 big, big way.

00:58:26.020 But, we do have,

00:58:27.180 you know, there's

00:58:27.580 always some looming

00:58:28.680 big problem that

00:58:29.940 could change

00:58:30.500 everything in half

00:58:31.360 a minute.

00:58:33.240 But at the

00:58:33.860 moment, everything's

00:58:34.540 going right.

00:58:35.520 I see the

00:58:36.060 mention of the

00:58:36.620 Sound of Freedom

00:58:37.400 movie.

00:58:38.560 Don't you see that

00:58:39.340 as a positive?

00:58:41.120 The Sound of Freedom

00:58:42.140 movie?

00:58:42.480 That it got so

00:58:43.620 much attention?

00:58:45.120 Put, you know,

00:58:45.740 laser focus on an

00:58:47.240 important issue?

00:58:48.940 I think that's the

00:58:49.960 sort of thing that

00:58:50.500 will move the

00:58:50.880 needle.

00:58:53.400 Now, I personally

00:58:54.500 don't like to talk

00:58:55.280 about it because

00:58:56.600 it's just content

00:58:57.760 that I find

00:58:59.220 unpleasant to deal

00:59:00.200 with.

00:59:01.040 And I don't want

00:59:01.620 to, I don't

00:59:02.880 think, I don't

00:59:03.780 think every platform

00:59:04.800 needs to rub it in

00:59:05.720 your face.

00:59:06.860 Right?

00:59:07.700 Not everyone.

00:59:08.900 Because you're all

00:59:09.860 familiar with it.

00:59:10.700 If I just say

00:59:12.580 the same thing

00:59:13.160 that everybody

00:59:13.560 said about it,

00:59:14.100 it's not doing

00:59:14.540 anything for you.

00:59:15.620 So I'll just

00:59:16.400 note that it

00:59:17.020 appears to have

00:59:17.660 done a, possibly,

00:59:20.520 an immense public

00:59:21.520 service.

00:59:22.720 Would you agree

00:59:23.600 with that statement?

00:59:24.840 That the movie

00:59:25.800 is an intense

00:59:27.420 public service?

00:59:29.840 Intense.

00:59:31.060 Like, really,

00:59:31.940 really good work

00:59:33.780 people who make

00:59:34.880 movies.

00:59:36.160 So maybe,

00:59:36.740 that's a good

00:59:37.320 argument for movies.

00:59:38.180 But I can't

00:59:39.480 personally watch

00:59:41.160 it, so please

00:59:42.580 don't ask me

00:59:43.200 to.

00:59:44.420 I just can't

00:59:45.620 expose myself to

00:59:46.520 that kind of

00:59:47.800 unpleasantness

00:59:48.640 intentionally.

00:59:50.940 All right.

00:59:54.860 It was a

00:59:55.820 $15 million

00:59:57.100 budget, and

00:59:58.280 it's made over

00:59:58.780 $100 million

00:59:59.360 so far.

01:00:02.060 What about

01:00:02.840 the narrative?

01:00:03.320 What about

01:00:03.520 the narrative?

01:00:08.180 No one gets

01:00:09.480 tied to a chair?

01:00:10.900 Well, that's

01:00:11.540 a positive.

01:00:13.980 All right.

01:00:14.380 YouTube, I'm

01:00:15.000 going to say,

01:00:15.780 oh, there's a

01:00:16.320 UFO hearing.

01:00:17.680 Does anybody

01:00:18.240 think the UFO

01:00:19.100 hearing is going

01:00:20.060 to produce

01:00:20.580 anything useful?

01:00:22.420 No.

01:00:25.160 No.

01:00:26.800 All right.

01:00:27.920 Goodbye, YouTube.

01:00:28.680 I'll see you

01:00:29.340 in the morning.
