Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2175 Scott Adams： Come Find Out What's Funny About The News Today. Bring A Beverage

00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:04.460 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:10.420 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams because there's coffee and there's me.

00:00:14.980 And if you'd like your experience to go up to the levels that nobody's ever heard of,

00:00:19.400 everybody's talking about how great it would be if you did,

00:00:23.000 all you need is a copper mug or a glass of tank or chalice of dye

00:00:26.120 and a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:30.000 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:32.160 I like coffee.

00:00:33.480 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopey and the other day

00:00:36.960 that makes everything better.

00:00:38.240 It's called the Sematary Sip.

00:00:41.200 Go.

00:00:46.360 Ah.

00:00:47.400 Ah.

00:00:49.540 There's no comment here.

00:00:50.960 Let me go back there.

00:00:52.880 It was at the mid-sip when I saw it.

00:00:55.700 Something about Vivek.

00:01:00.000 Yeah, I can't find it now.

00:01:03.760 There we go.

00:01:04.600 Well, let's talk about all the news, shall we?

00:01:07.560 Let's talk.

00:01:09.200 So I saw a headline without reading the story,

00:01:13.640 but have you noticed that the headline is as good as the story?

00:01:18.380 Yeah.

00:01:18.580 Usually the headline tells you everything you need to know.

00:01:21.140 The headline was that fracking could lead to big advances in geothermal power.

00:01:26.640 And so the idea is that the whole point of fracking is they drill a hole and they shoot water down there.

00:01:36.740 And when they shoot the water down there, somehow they get a better, bigger hole or something.

00:01:43.000 So they use it for producing oil and gas, I guess.

00:01:47.320 But they could maybe use it to get deep into the earth and get some energy out of the heat from the earth.

00:01:57.560 I have long been saying that the greatest technology the earth needs is holes.

00:02:01.960 Does anybody remember me saying that?

00:02:05.480 That if we could ever learn to build really good holes, we would solve basically everything.

00:02:11.280 Because if you could build big holes, like Elon Musk's boring company that just makes tunnels,

00:02:20.180 that's the beginning.

00:02:20.940 But fracking and boring might open up the interior of the planet for unlimited energy. 0.80

00:02:30.260 Because if you could inexpensively dig a really deep hole any time you wanted, free energy.

00:02:37.560 You know, after the expense of creating it, it's free.

00:02:41.520 So, and then I also thought that farming inevitably has to go underground.

00:02:47.820 Or at least indoors.

00:02:50.940 Because you want your farming to have no pests and no problems of nature.

00:02:58.500 So I think inevitably that's, you know, holes.

00:03:01.140 Holes is where the future is.

00:03:03.300 Space and holes.

00:03:06.320 I don't believe I talked about that Jason L. Dean song in the detail that I wanted to.

00:03:11.620 So, you know, there's a big controversy.

00:03:13.260 Country star Jason L. Dean has this small town song where he's saying that there are riots

00:03:20.560 and the urban unrest, if it came to a small town, those small towners would take care of it.

00:03:27.600 Meaning that they would at least use the threat of violence to stop people from doing bad things.

00:03:33.760 Now, the first thing I would say about it is having now listened to the entire song.

00:03:38.340 The first time I mentioned it, I had not heard it.

00:03:40.260 It's actually a really good song.

00:03:43.940 So if I could just recommend it on a purely musical basis, really good.

00:03:50.500 Really good.

00:03:51.140 I was actually surprised.

00:03:52.540 Because country music is not my preferred genre.

00:03:55.900 So when something in that genre, you know, totally lights me up, it's pretty notable.

00:04:02.480 If you can get somebody from the wrong genre to appreciate what you're doing, that's some good stuff.

00:04:10.180 So talent-wise, A+.

00:04:12.140 But the controversy is that some people are listening to a song and they think it's racist and promoting lynching.

00:04:22.920 Other people listen to the same song, and it's not so much the lyrics as the video, the video imagery.

00:04:30.420 And they look at the imagery and they say, where is any of that?

00:04:35.500 I don't see any video that's highlighting any racial group.

00:04:41.300 In fact, it looked like it was shot to decrease that perception.

00:04:45.800 You know, there's a lot of vague images and you can't really tell who it is.

00:04:49.680 It looked to me intentional that they didn't want it to be about race.

00:04:53.580 It was about behavior.

00:04:55.980 But, and then what about the question of lynching?

00:05:00.340 Well, that's not there either.

00:05:02.280 There's just this suggestion that if violence came to a small town,

00:05:07.080 the small town people would react in some forceful way to stop it.

00:05:11.500 Nothing about lynching.

00:05:12.840 All right, so now I've told you that I saw zero imagery, zero words to suggest either racism or lynching.

00:05:27.160 Now let me tell you what I felt when I heard the song.

00:05:30.660 Totally racist, and it looks like it's encouraging lynching.

00:05:36.120 Are those two things out of whack?

00:05:38.120 There's no evidence in the song.

00:05:41.200 The song does not have racist imagery.

00:05:44.960 It does not have racist words.

00:05:47.260 It doesn't.

00:05:48.200 It's just not there.

00:05:49.720 But I felt it.

00:05:50.900 Why did I feel it?

00:05:52.460 Why did I feel it so strongly?

00:05:56.240 So much so that I had to go back and look at it a second time

00:05:59.880 to look for those things that triggered me, and guess what?

00:06:04.080 There weren't any.

00:06:04.920 There was nothing there that would have given me the impression that I got.

00:06:10.960 So let me ask you this.

00:06:13.340 I legitimately felt the same thing that the Democrats, presumably,

00:06:17.220 and the people on the left are criticizing.

00:06:19.620 I felt it too.

00:06:21.080 But it wasn't there.

00:06:23.120 I mean, I can guarantee you it's not there.

00:06:25.260 I looked very closely, and it wasn't there.

00:06:29.440 So who do you blame?

00:06:30.560 Do you blame the artist for making a song about, you know,

00:06:36.300 the point the artist wanted to make about violence in small towns?

00:06:39.680 Was that a problem?

00:06:42.000 I'm going to say no.

00:06:43.800 I'm going to say you have to blame.

00:06:46.740 Well, do you blame me?

00:06:49.820 Do you blame the people who interpreted it the same way I did

00:06:53.500 the first time I heard it?

00:06:55.340 No, I think you blame the media.

00:06:56.820 The media has primed us all that violence equals black. 1.00

00:07:05.840 Did I come up with that on my own?

00:07:09.240 No.

00:07:10.020 I turn on the TV, and there's violence.

00:07:12.420 And then I look at the statistics,

00:07:14.620 and it seems to be highly correlated with news reports

00:07:17.700 about, you know, BLM or urban areas where there's some violence.

00:07:21.660 And without, you know, any statement of what's true

00:07:26.940 or what's not true statistically, that's not my point.

00:07:31.540 My point is that I'm inundated with things that conflate

00:07:35.980 black people and violence in the news.

00:07:40.320 It's all over the place.

00:07:41.880 So when I see something that sees this vague urban violence,

00:07:46.300 what do you think of when you think of urban violence?

00:07:49.580 We've all been so triggered into seeing it

00:07:51.920 that you just assume you're seeing something

00:07:54.300 you're not actually seeing.

00:07:56.400 So I think this, the Jason L. Dean thing is,

00:08:00.440 in some ways, has nothing to do with racism whatsoever.

00:08:04.780 But it has everything to do with explaining

00:08:07.740 your current situation.

00:08:10.440 It explains how you've been brainwashed,

00:08:12.760 because you can't avoid it.

00:08:13.960 When I say you, this is no insult to you,

00:08:16.880 not specifically, I'm saying that you and I

00:08:20.020 and everybody, we're getting the same forces

00:08:22.740 from the outside, and they've primed us

00:08:25.400 to see something that wasn't there.

00:08:27.600 And it's really freaky to see something clearly

00:08:30.640 that you can confirm doesn't exist.

00:08:35.300 It's quite shocking.

00:08:37.580 So I had that experience, but I recommend the song.

00:08:43.440 It's just good music, and I do not think

00:08:47.400 that the creator of the song should have any blowback.

00:08:51.480 But I get it.

00:08:52.440 I mean, I understand how it happened.

00:08:53.780 It just wasn't his fault.

00:08:55.500 Definitely the media.

00:08:57.400 All right.

00:09:02.680 Let's see.

00:09:03.360 I've said this before, but this is the most useful thing

00:09:07.960 you'll hear.

00:09:08.940 It's good to reinforce it.

00:09:10.880 If you use Twitter, you have to understand

00:09:14.380 that a fairly shocking percentage of the trolls on Twitter

00:09:18.780 are literally actually drunk, or inebriated in some way.

00:09:24.420 And until you understand that, it's a very, like,

00:09:28.400 maddening place, because you'll end up doing things like,

00:09:31.180 why can't you understand my point?

00:09:33.880 Are you intentionally missing my point?

00:09:37.160 And, you know, you just go crazy

00:09:39.400 because of these triggering tweets.

00:09:41.560 But the moment you tell yourself they're probably drunk,

00:09:45.820 it all goes away.

00:09:47.860 All of your, like, I don't know, stress or anxiety

00:09:51.780 about somebody tweeting evil things at you,

00:09:54.320 it just completely goes away when you tell yourself

00:09:56.480 they're probably drunk.

00:09:58.260 Try it.

00:09:58.740 It's just a reframe for your mental health.

00:10:01.520 Right?

00:10:01.920 Now, with reframes in general,

00:10:04.280 and here's something you'll hear a lot from me,

00:10:06.540 a reframe doesn't have to be accurate.

00:10:09.360 Right?

00:10:09.660 It doesn't have to be true.

00:10:11.540 It doesn't have to be true some of the time or all the time.

00:10:14.540 It doesn't have to have any semblance of reality to it.

00:10:18.340 A reframe works because it works.

00:10:22.100 You just try it, and you see what happens.

00:10:24.520 It's free.

00:10:25.020 So just try telling yourself they're probably drunk

00:10:28.280 and watch what happens.

00:10:30.080 It just changes your experience totally.

00:10:33.040 Right?

00:10:34.520 Yeah, and I also wonder

00:10:36.560 how many of the celebrities that you think

00:10:39.540 just have opinions you don't like

00:10:41.160 are literally drunks.

00:10:42.680 When you see a Ron Perlman,

00:10:46.840 you know, his angry video tweets,

00:10:50.060 do you think he's always sober?

00:10:54.700 I don't know.

00:10:56.080 But he looks like an angry drunk to me.

00:10:58.580 So if you tell yourself Ron Perlman is an angry drunk,

00:11:02.600 even if he isn't,

00:11:03.900 I have no evidence one way or the other,

00:11:06.220 it completely explains how he's acting.

00:11:09.700 Look at Keith Olbermann.

00:11:13.100 Is he drunk when he does these screeds?

00:11:15.480 Well, I doubt he's drunk all of the time.

00:11:20.000 I'm sure he's not always drunk.

00:11:22.060 But does he look like he might be drunk when he does them?

00:11:25.180 And the answer is yes.

00:11:26.580 Yes, he does.

00:11:27.600 Which doesn't mean he's drunk.

00:11:29.900 I want to make a clear distinction

00:11:31.800 between people who act drunk

00:11:34.420 and people who are.

00:11:36.120 I can't tell if they are,

00:11:37.760 but you can tell if they act drunk.

00:11:39.540 And Rob Reiner was the next one I was going to bring up.

00:11:42.140 You don't think Rob Reiner

00:11:43.260 has a little wine with dinner?

00:11:46.820 I'm just wondering.

00:11:48.540 Rob Reiner.

00:11:49.640 Any chance at all he has a drink of wine with dinner?

00:11:53.080 Maybe.

00:11:53.400 Do you think he does any tweeting

00:11:55.580 after a couple of glasses of wine?

00:11:57.780 Ever?

00:11:58.920 Even once?

00:12:00.600 I don't know.

00:12:01.400 Maybe.

00:12:02.820 Maybe.

00:12:04.120 So, but even if you don't know

00:12:07.220 anything about the people who are tweeting

00:12:08.960 that are making you mad,

00:12:10.220 just tell yourself they're drunk

00:12:11.840 and then look at the tweet.

00:12:14.400 And you'll be amazed

00:12:15.420 at how as soon as you tell yourself

00:12:17.600 they might be drunk,

00:12:18.740 the tweet looks like it came from a drunk.

00:12:20.580 It will look like it immediately

00:12:22.680 and make you feel better.

00:12:25.800 All right.

00:12:27.960 I'm loving the folks on Twitter

00:12:31.220 who are finding all the Democrats

00:12:34.360 who had been pushing back

00:12:35.840 on the 2016 election.

00:12:37.840 And if you haven't seen the cringy video

00:12:39.980 of all the very sincere Democrat celebrities

00:12:42.980 saying that the electors,

00:12:45.000 after Trump had been elected,

00:12:48.420 at least by the vote,

00:12:49.820 but the electoral college

00:12:51.400 had not done his thing,

00:12:52.860 that they were actually producing

00:12:54.160 major pieces to say

00:12:56.920 that the electors would be more patriotic

00:12:59.660 if they did not follow

00:13:01.520 this specific path

00:13:04.680 that they had been,

00:13:05.440 let's say,

00:13:07.220 chartered to take by the voters.

00:13:08.720 Now,

00:13:10.920 how do you watch that

00:13:13.420 if you're a Democrat

00:13:15.740 and you're going crazy

00:13:16.880 about January 6th and Trump?

00:13:19.840 Do they just not remember that?

00:13:22.400 I'm actually curious.

00:13:23.520 I don't know.

00:13:24.480 Because I don't think they do.

00:13:27.320 And then the other question is,

00:13:29.300 was either of them illegal?

00:13:31.640 Was it illegal for a bunch of actors

00:13:33.840 to give you their opinion

00:13:35.800 of what electors should do?

00:13:38.720 Not really.

00:13:40.120 It wasn't illegal.

00:13:41.580 It was all transparent.

00:13:42.800 It was free speech.

00:13:44.060 But what did Trump do

00:13:45.080 that was that different?

00:13:47.720 Was he plotting?

00:13:49.880 Is that different?

00:13:51.480 And what if you're plotting

00:13:52.560 to do something

00:13:53.540 that you have an expert

00:13:54.840 tells you is probably legal?

00:13:58.880 Is it an insurrection

00:14:01.000 if the only plans you have

00:14:03.160 have to have some legal backing

00:14:05.520 or you're not willing

00:14:06.360 to consider them?

00:14:07.140 Because I'm pretty sure

00:14:08.780 that Trump didn't do anything

00:14:09.900 without at least one lawyer

00:14:11.460 who may or may not

00:14:13.080 have been right.

00:14:14.500 But I don't think

00:14:15.280 he did anything

00:14:16.140 without anything

00:14:17.840 that was in question

00:14:19.460 without a lawyer saying

00:14:21.300 that there was

00:14:21.840 an argument for it.

00:14:23.480 Doesn't mean it was

00:14:24.220 a good argument,

00:14:25.080 but that's how it works.

00:14:26.300 So to me it looks like

00:14:28.620 in both cases

00:14:30.540 the Democrats

00:14:32.000 and the Republicans

00:14:32.940 were exercising free speech

00:14:34.860 and they were trying

00:14:36.580 to use the law

00:14:37.500 as they understood it.

00:14:39.420 Is it illegal

00:14:40.420 to try to use the law

00:14:41.860 as you understand it?

00:14:43.820 Well, you could end up

00:14:44.940 running afoul of the law

00:14:46.200 that way,

00:14:46.860 but certainly

00:14:47.540 there's no intention.

00:14:49.280 There's no intention

00:14:50.240 of breaking the law.

00:14:51.100 There's an intention

00:14:51.740 of using the law

00:14:52.700 as it exists.

00:14:53.560 you know,

00:14:54.340 maybe in a creative way

00:14:55.460 by using the existing law.

00:14:59.120 So,

00:15:01.040 I don't know.

00:15:02.500 I'd be amazed

00:15:03.480 if Trump goes to jail

00:15:05.560 for any of that stuff.

00:15:06.860 But we're no longer

00:15:08.100 in a world

00:15:08.500 where the actual facts

00:15:10.680 will matter.

00:15:16.660 And it wasn't

00:15:17.780 the real problem

00:15:18.440 in both cases

00:15:19.400 that people believe

00:15:20.700 the media.

00:15:21.440 do you think

00:15:23.400 that you would have had

00:15:24.060 the 2016 people

00:15:25.520 trying to overthrow Trump?

00:15:27.760 Now, remember,

00:15:28.220 their argument

00:15:28.900 for why the electors

00:15:30.280 should pick somebody else,

00:15:31.900 this is the part

00:15:32.720 that's the most mind-blowing.

00:15:34.460 The argument

00:15:35.380 they made

00:15:36.020 in 2016

00:15:36.920 for why the electors

00:15:39.700 should pick somebody

00:15:40.660 other than the one

00:15:41.260 who got the most votes,

00:15:43.420 or at least the most votes

00:15:44.480 in the right places,

00:15:45.700 was

00:15:46.220 that he was

00:15:48.320 obviously unqualified.

00:15:49.800 it's just obvious.

00:15:52.780 I mean,

00:15:53.120 just look at him.

00:15:54.520 Obviously.

00:15:55.580 And that was

00:15:56.140 their whole argument.

00:15:57.240 The argument

00:15:57.720 is that

00:15:58.320 any reasonable person,

00:16:00.840 an elector,

00:16:01.760 could just look at Trump

00:16:02.940 and they could tell

00:16:03.740 that he was not

00:16:04.600 the right person

00:16:06.000 to be a president.

00:16:08.420 Now,

00:16:09.700 how in the world

00:16:11.560 do they still think that?

00:16:14.480 After four years

00:16:16.600 of him being president,

00:16:18.220 what did he do?

00:16:20.140 Now,

00:16:20.460 let's hold aside

00:16:21.900 January 6th itself

00:16:23.060 for a moment.

00:16:24.440 If you take January 6th

00:16:25.920 out of the equation,

00:16:26.720 we'll talk about it separately,

00:16:28.000 what did he do

00:16:28.960 that wasn't

00:16:29.880 an ordinary president thing?

00:16:32.880 Right?

00:16:33.260 The only things

00:16:34.040 were things they made up,

00:16:35.200 like the fine people hoax

00:16:36.500 and the drinking bleak jokes.

00:16:39.120 100% of what they thought

00:16:40.460 about Trump

00:16:40.900 was just made up

00:16:41.700 by their own news people.

00:16:42.800 So much so

00:16:45.080 that they thought

00:16:45.640 he couldn't even be president.

00:16:47.600 But in fact,

00:16:48.760 he was such a reasonable president

00:16:50.580 that his own side,

00:16:52.660 by an overwhelming majority,

00:16:54.020 wants him to try it again.

00:16:56.600 Right?

00:16:57.020 I'm pretty sure

00:16:57.840 if he had done

00:16:58.340 any of the things

00:16:59.300 the Democrats

00:16:59.980 accused him of,

00:17:01.040 you know,

00:17:01.220 the big stuff,

00:17:02.400 that even the Republicans

00:17:03.520 would be looking hard

00:17:04.720 for another choice.

00:17:07.780 So reality is

00:17:09.020 quite weird.

00:17:10.400 But

00:17:10.680 I would also argue

00:17:12.660 that January 6th

00:17:14.940 was because

00:17:15.900 people looking at

00:17:16.780 certain news sources

00:17:17.920 got riled up

00:17:19.380 in a way that

00:17:20.680 people looking at

00:17:21.540 different news sources

00:17:22.540 did not.

00:17:24.620 For example,

00:17:25.940 I was only vaguely aware

00:17:27.680 that there was going to be

00:17:28.460 some kind of protest.

00:17:30.280 It wasn't even

00:17:31.180 on my radar.

00:17:33.000 So whatever I was watching

00:17:34.360 on social media,

00:17:35.720 it did not include

00:17:36.780 calls to show up

00:17:38.560 at the...

00:17:38.660 I mean,

00:17:39.600 I just thought

00:17:40.940 it was another one

00:17:41.680 of those

00:17:42.120 everybody protests

00:17:43.300 everything,

00:17:44.220 that's the end of it.

00:17:47.020 But I was never

00:17:48.020 activated.

00:17:49.420 Like,

00:17:49.740 there was nothing

00:17:50.400 I saw

00:17:51.000 in my news

00:17:52.340 reading

00:17:53.060 that made me

00:17:54.100 want to drive

00:17:54.780 to Washington

00:17:55.820 and try to change

00:17:57.700 everything.

00:17:58.700 So both sides

00:18:00.040 got their opinions

00:18:01.440 from the news sources

00:18:02.500 that they consumed,

00:18:04.320 although there's

00:18:04.940 a cause and effect

00:18:05.740 thing there.

00:18:06.340 You tend to consume

00:18:07.640 the things you know

00:18:08.440 you're going to believe,

00:18:09.400 but there's a two-way

00:18:11.720 effect there.

00:18:14.200 And then we don't know

00:18:15.320 the effect of the FBI,

00:18:18.120 et cetera,

00:18:18.540 on January 6th.

00:18:19.420 That's true.

00:18:21.460 All right.

00:18:23.380 So,

00:18:24.600 I'm going to tell you

00:18:26.180 a story that seems like

00:18:27.160 it's on a different topic

00:18:28.240 and then it's going to

00:18:28.960 weave right back here. 1.00

00:18:30.580 Watch this.

00:18:32.220 So according to

00:18:32.900 the New York Times,

00:18:33.720 Google is pitching

00:18:36.400 to the big news entities

00:18:38.600 like the Washington Post,

00:18:39.920 Wall Street Journal,

00:18:40.680 and the New York Times

00:18:41.420 a new tool,

00:18:43.960 an AI tool

00:18:44.780 for making news

00:18:45.700 or reporting the news.

00:18:48.780 Now,

00:18:49.500 is that the funniest story

00:18:50.740 you've ever heard?

00:18:52.560 If you don't know

00:18:53.680 why this is funny,

00:18:54.880 I'll explain it to you.

00:18:58.080 Google hires

00:18:58.980 the smartest people

00:19:00.000 around.

00:19:01.760 Wouldn't you agree?

00:19:02.400 Google hires

00:19:04.460 really smart people.

00:19:06.160 You know,

00:19:06.360 other companies do, too.

00:19:08.620 But Google is sort of famous

00:19:10.280 for hiring

00:19:11.760 extra smart people.

00:19:13.860 So imagine

00:19:14.620 these extra smart people.

00:19:16.620 They build some kind

00:19:17.780 of an AI tool

00:19:18.760 for news

00:19:19.420 and then they took it

00:19:20.800 to the New York Times,

00:19:21.920 the Washington Post,

00:19:23.200 and the Wall Street Journal

00:19:24.360 and asked them

00:19:25.080 if they'd like to use it

00:19:26.080 and maybe buy it.

00:19:29.180 Do you see anything

00:19:29.960 wrong with this story?

00:19:30.720 Do you see anything

00:19:30.780 the smartest people

00:19:33.400 in the world

00:19:33.820 who work at Google

00:19:34.740 were unaware

00:19:36.180 that these are not

00:19:37.780 real news entities

00:19:39.000 in the case of two of them?

00:19:40.800 They're not even

00:19:41.600 real news entities.

00:19:42.780 They think

00:19:43.160 the Washington Post

00:19:43.920 reports news

00:19:44.760 in 2023

00:19:47.420 or the New York Times.

00:19:50.420 They don't know

00:19:51.020 that those are

00:19:51.780 narrative entities.

00:19:54.720 Now,

00:19:54.860 the Washington,

00:19:55.420 I would say

00:19:55.880 the Washington,

00:19:56.760 the Wall Street Journal,

00:19:58.340 the Wall Street Journal

00:19:59.980 was the third one mentioned

00:20:01.080 and I think

00:20:01.880 they're in their own category.

00:20:03.860 I think

00:20:04.160 the Wall Street Journal

00:20:04.920 plays it a little bit

00:20:06.520 closer to the middle

00:20:07.640 of the road

00:20:08.080 but

00:20:08.920 although they're

00:20:11.000 opinion pieces

00:20:11.660 you can make

00:20:13.100 a case

00:20:14.460 that they're

00:20:14.780 opinion pieces

00:20:15.460 lean right.

00:20:17.760 But they're very clear

00:20:18.960 about what's opinion

00:20:19.740 and I always

00:20:21.040 appreciate that.

00:20:22.220 They say

00:20:22.880 opinion,

00:20:24.040 opinion piece

00:20:24.740 so it's really clear.

00:20:25.660 But I would say

00:20:27.920 that the New York Times

00:20:28.780 and the Washington Post

00:20:29.740 are narrative

00:20:31.480 promoting entities

00:20:33.320 that use the news

00:20:35.360 to launder

00:20:35.980 their opinions.

00:20:37.880 So wouldn't AI

00:20:38.840 ruin their entire

00:20:39.920 business model?

00:20:41.400 Their business model

00:20:42.280 is telling their base

00:20:43.100 what they want to hear

00:20:44.120 which is very

00:20:45.420 compatible with

00:20:46.200 what the advertisers

00:20:47.060 want to pay them

00:20:47.980 to be associated with

00:20:49.140 which is very

00:20:50.340 compatible with

00:20:51.160 what Democrats want.

00:20:53.000 None of that

00:20:53.560 has anything to do

00:20:54.300 with the news.

00:20:55.660 So AI

00:20:57.780 is trying to

00:20:58.380 solve a problem

00:20:59.280 that's totally

00:21:00.580 not a problem.

00:21:01.940 In fact

00:21:02.420 it's a feature.

00:21:04.720 The ability

00:21:06.180 to shape the news

00:21:07.600 and manage the news

00:21:08.640 is the main thing

00:21:10.840 that those entities

00:21:11.840 do.

00:21:12.760 They're not telling you

00:21:13.740 full transparent

00:21:15.320 both sides

00:21:15.980 of stories.

00:21:17.340 We know that.

00:21:18.840 There's no

00:21:19.420 debate on that.

00:21:22.320 So

00:21:22.960 I just think

00:21:24.100 it's hilarious

00:21:24.660 some of the smartest

00:21:25.660 technology people

00:21:26.740 in the world

00:21:27.260 because their own

00:21:29.200 news sources

00:21:30.020 lie to them

00:21:30.860 and they believe it

00:21:32.640 they thought that

00:21:34.140 those news sources

00:21:35.040 might benefit

00:21:35.680 from an objective

00:21:37.140 tool for figuring

00:21:38.980 out what the news is.

00:21:41.500 Just think about that.

00:21:43.220 They actually believed

00:21:44.620 that the news is real

00:21:46.760 and developed a tool

00:21:48.200 to help

00:21:48.660 develop this real news

00:21:51.120 a little faster.

00:21:52.700 Or

00:21:52.960 I don't know

00:21:55.160 the details

00:21:55.760 what if

00:21:57.260 the Google tool

00:21:58.680 allowed them

00:21:59.400 to insert

00:21:59.960 the narrative?

00:22:01.440 What if it's

00:22:02.100 the opposite

00:22:02.600 of what I said?

00:22:04.000 What if instead

00:22:04.760 of being AI

00:22:06.200 so it's totally

00:22:06.940 objective

00:22:07.500 about what the news

00:22:08.440 is

00:22:08.660 shows both sides

00:22:09.560 what if it has

00:22:10.700 a feature

00:22:11.160 where you can

00:22:12.120 just push a button

00:22:12.880 and it gets rid

00:22:13.540 of all one side

00:22:14.300 of the argument?

00:22:15.720 How hard

00:22:16.160 would that be?

00:22:17.140 It wouldn't be

00:22:17.580 hard to build it.

00:22:18.300 I mean you could

00:22:19.440 design that

00:22:20.020 quite easily.

00:22:21.120 So it would be

00:22:21.560 the easiest thing

00:22:22.220 in the world.

00:22:22.980 Now how hard

00:22:23.700 would it be

00:22:24.260 for Google

00:22:25.720 to sell a tool

00:22:26.620 to the news industry

00:22:27.660 and then they get

00:22:29.220 addicted to it

00:22:29.960 and they say

00:22:31.020 you know

00:22:31.320 we don't even

00:22:31.880 need reporters

00:22:32.540 anymore.

00:22:33.200 This AI tool

00:22:34.000 is just killing it.

00:22:35.260 Getting all our news

00:22:36.200 organizing it

00:22:37.040 putting it into stories.

00:22:39.200 Do you think

00:22:39.660 that that tool

00:22:40.480 would exist

00:22:41.780 only on the

00:22:42.480 desktops

00:22:43.260 of the people

00:22:44.700 using it

00:22:45.320 or

00:22:46.040 just putting

00:22:46.820 this out there

00:22:47.400 it would actually

00:22:48.900 be an application

00:22:49.720 that ran

00:22:50.200 in the cloud

00:22:50.780 and you were

00:22:52.120 just attached

00:22:52.640 to it

00:22:52.940 and Google

00:22:53.460 had full control

00:22:54.500 of what that AI

00:22:55.900 did and which

00:22:56.820 narratives it surfaced.

00:22:58.880 Which one of those

00:22:59.560 do you think

00:22:59.980 Google was selling?

00:23:01.700 The one who was

00:23:02.500 totally objective

00:23:04.060 or were they

00:23:05.860 selling something

00:23:06.480 where they,

00:23:07.380 Google,

00:23:08.000 could control

00:23:08.760 what AI

00:23:09.520 decided was news

00:23:10.660 you should see?

00:23:12.140 Do you think

00:23:12.560 they would leave

00:23:13.140 themselves no option

00:23:14.240 for managing it

00:23:16.420 on their end

00:23:16.920 secretly?

00:23:18.160 You think

00:23:18.700 there would be

00:23:19.060 no way

00:23:19.460 for them

00:23:19.720 to do that?

00:23:20.900 No way

00:23:21.480 to tweak

00:23:21.900 that code

00:23:22.380 just a little bit?

00:23:23.440 A little bit.

00:23:24.580 It would be

00:23:25.160 the easiest

00:23:25.540 thing in the world.

00:23:27.000 If they could

00:23:28.000 get the biggest

00:23:28.920 entities

00:23:29.460 to accept

00:23:31.060 their tool

00:23:31.800 for news

00:23:32.680 they own

00:23:34.000 the whole world.

00:23:35.700 They would

00:23:36.060 own the world.

00:23:37.320 Now that assumes

00:23:38.060 that the entities

00:23:38.780 used it

00:23:39.820 as it was provided

00:23:40.740 and they would

00:23:41.980 over time

00:23:42.640 if the tool

00:23:43.280 was really

00:23:44.040 really good

00:23:44.740 and saved them

00:23:45.460 money.

00:23:45.720 if they were

00:23:48.460 really really

00:23:49.060 good

00:23:49.440 and it saved

00:23:50.260 them money

00:23:50.720 they would

00:23:51.760 move to

00:23:52.240 the Google

00:23:52.700 tool

00:23:53.080 and then

00:23:53.860 Google

00:23:54.160 would own

00:23:54.740 all the

00:23:55.380 news.

00:23:56.780 They would

00:23:57.360 have any

00:23:58.100 narrative they 0.57

00:23:58.780 wanted.

00:23:59.160 They could

00:23:59.360 just pump

00:23:59.780 it through

00:24:00.040 their system

00:24:00.560 and people

00:24:02.120 would think

00:24:02.480 it was

00:24:02.700 the news.

00:24:05.480 So that's

00:24:06.220 pretty weird

00:24:07.080 and scary.

00:24:08.720 All right

00:24:08.980 so how

00:24:10.420 would it

00:24:10.760 cover a

00:24:12.000 story about

00:24:12.540 Trump?

00:24:14.040 How would

00:24:14.760 Google's

00:24:15.380 AI

00:24:15.980 compile a

00:24:17.700 story about

00:24:18.500 Trump?

00:24:19.520 Would it

00:24:19.960 look like

00:24:20.700 let's say

00:24:22.760 you might

00:24:23.300 read in

00:24:23.820 Breitbart?

00:24:25.300 Would it

00:24:26.100 look like

00:24:26.760 something you

00:24:27.260 might read in

00:24:27.700 the Washington

00:24:28.060 Post?

00:24:29.120 Because they're

00:24:29.520 not the same.

00:24:30.680 They don't

00:24:31.000 even look

00:24:31.320 similar.

00:24:33.160 So what

00:24:33.820 would it

00:24:34.080 do?

00:24:34.420 How would

00:24:34.720 it cover

00:24:35.020 the news?

00:24:36.200 Well let's

00:24:36.880 look at the

00:24:37.520 question of

00:24:38.540 the possible

00:24:40.100 indictments

00:24:40.800 against Trump.

00:24:42.760 All right

00:24:42.820 so all of

00:24:44.880 these topics

00:24:45.400 are going to

00:24:45.720 be related

00:24:46.340 so if it

00:24:47.120 seems like

00:24:47.560 I'm changing

00:24:48.140 topics just

00:24:50.280 understand it's

00:24:50.960 all related.

00:24:52.040 We'll tie it

00:24:52.780 all together

00:24:53.180 at the end.

00:24:54.860 So Trump

00:24:56.000 is being

00:24:56.380 indicted

00:24:56.780 the newest

00:24:57.300 set of

00:24:57.640 indictments

00:24:58.100 on three

00:24:58.680 statutes

00:24:59.500 reportedly.

00:25:01.520 So the

00:25:03.120 charges would

00:25:03.880 pertain to

00:25:04.560 these things

00:25:05.720 reportedly.

00:25:06.700 We could be

00:25:07.420 wrong at this

00:25:07.960 point.

00:25:08.740 But something

00:25:09.320 pertaining to

00:25:10.080 deprivation of

00:25:10.980 rights, so

00:25:12.800 you all know

00:25:13.280 exactly what

00:25:13.900 that is,

00:25:14.300 right?

00:25:15.080 We're all

00:25:15.680 aware of

00:25:16.100 exactly what

00:25:16.880 Trump did

00:25:17.580 that would

00:25:18.780 be illegally

00:25:19.680 depriving people

00:25:20.700 of rights,

00:25:21.240 right?

00:25:22.300 I have no

00:25:23.120 idea what

00:25:23.520 that is.

00:25:24.120 No idea.

00:25:24.560 But there's

00:25:25.860 more.

00:25:26.500 It's not

00:25:26.860 just that.

00:25:28.140 It's also

00:25:28.820 conspiracy to

00:25:30.240 commit an

00:25:30.660 offense against

00:25:31.460 or defraud

00:25:32.140 the United

00:25:32.520 States.

00:25:34.720 Now, is

00:25:35.500 that what I

00:25:35.980 said was him

00:25:36.940 getting a

00:25:37.460 legal opinion

00:25:38.120 that what he

00:25:38.720 was doing

00:25:39.100 was legal?

00:25:40.880 So getting a

00:25:41.920 legal opinion

00:25:42.620 and following

00:25:43.560 your legal

00:25:44.100 opinion that

00:25:44.680 what you're

00:25:44.960 doing is

00:25:45.420 legally okay,

00:25:46.200 is that what

00:25:47.400 they're going

00:25:47.700 to say is

00:25:48.440 some kind

00:25:49.720 of conspiracy?

00:25:51.020 Doing what

00:25:51.500 your lawyer

00:25:51.880 says would

00:25:52.420 be legal?

00:25:52.840 It might

00:25:54.600 be.

00:25:55.180 I don't

00:25:55.460 know.

00:25:55.980 Too soon

00:25:56.400 to know.

00:25:57.260 Still fog

00:25:57.820 of war.

00:25:59.920 How about,

00:26:00.700 let's see,

00:26:01.400 what else?

00:26:03.020 And tampering

00:26:03.640 with a witness.

00:26:05.300 Tampering

00:26:05.640 with a witness.

00:26:07.080 Who?

00:26:08.820 Does anybody

00:26:09.580 know what

00:26:10.240 witness we're

00:26:10.860 talking about

00:26:11.460 with the

00:26:11.840 tampering?

00:26:13.300 All right,

00:26:13.640 so at the

00:26:13.980 moment, it

00:26:14.760 makes sense.

00:26:18.200 At the

00:26:18.840 moment, it

00:26:19.260 makes sense

00:26:19.820 that we don't

00:26:20.340 understand the

00:26:21.020 story, right?

00:26:21.640 Because it's

00:26:22.760 new, and it's

00:26:23.620 complicated, and

00:26:24.540 it's legal stuff.

00:26:25.760 So we don't

00:26:26.500 know the story.

00:26:27.560 Let me ask you

00:26:28.120 this.

00:26:29.040 At the end

00:26:29.640 of it all,

00:26:30.780 let's say Trump

00:26:31.600 gets convicted,

00:26:33.780 and let's say

00:26:34.900 he's taken

00:26:37.040 out of the

00:26:37.380 race.

00:26:39.760 All right.

00:26:40.840 Do you

00:26:41.400 think the

00:26:41.780 public would

00:26:42.660 understand the

00:26:43.480 charges?

00:26:45.280 Would they

00:26:45.900 be able to

00:26:46.340 repeat them

00:26:46.860 back and tell

00:26:47.580 you why it

00:26:48.040 was illegal

00:26:48.500 and what

00:26:48.840 happened?

00:26:50.580 No.

00:26:51.640 Do you

00:26:52.120 think that

00:26:52.740 lawyers watching

00:26:53.880 this case,

00:26:54.800 even lawyers

00:26:55.500 who get to

00:26:56.080 hear all of

00:26:56.680 the evidence,

00:26:57.440 let's say the

00:26:58.200 case is public,

00:27:00.520 for example.

00:27:01.600 Do you

00:27:02.060 think if a

00:27:02.600 bunch of

00:27:02.980 lawyers watched

00:27:05.020 the trial and

00:27:06.200 all the evidence

00:27:06.820 just the way the

00:27:07.500 jury did, the

00:27:08.580 same way the

00:27:09.040 jury did, do

00:27:10.040 you think all

00:27:10.420 the lawyers

00:27:10.940 watching it on

00:27:11.640 TV, seeing all

00:27:12.760 the evidence,

00:27:13.740 would all have

00:27:14.440 the same

00:27:14.760 opinion?

00:27:16.760 Oh, yeah,

00:27:17.360 those are,

00:27:17.880 he violated the

00:27:18.760 law, got to

00:27:19.240 go to jail.

00:27:19.640 Probably not,

00:27:22.160 right?

00:27:23.700 Too early to

00:27:24.640 say, but 1.00

00:27:25.280 probably not.

00:27:26.780 So what

00:27:27.440 happens if you

00:27:28.420 take the

00:27:29.060 major competitor

00:27:31.000 out of the

00:27:31.420 race, one

00:27:32.340 whose polls

00:27:33.140 look pretty

00:27:33.760 promising at

00:27:34.420 the moment,

00:27:35.260 you take him

00:27:36.180 out of the

00:27:36.460 race based

00:27:37.240 on crimes

00:27:39.760 that the

00:27:40.960 public doesn't

00:27:41.800 understand and

00:27:43.660 lawyers observing

00:27:44.800 it don't agree

00:27:45.920 even what

00:27:46.860 happened and

00:27:48.540 what's illegal.

00:27:49.640 Is that a

00:27:50.600 safe, safe

00:27:51.500 situation for

00:27:52.300 the country?

00:27:53.660 That's where

00:27:54.480 we're headed.

00:27:55.560 That's the

00:27:56.160 current trajectory

00:27:57.120 is that Trump

00:27:58.500 will be taken

00:27:59.240 out by charges

00:28:00.720 that the public

00:28:01.480 doesn't understand,

00:28:03.040 too complicated,

00:28:04.480 and lawyers

00:28:05.780 disagree whether

00:28:07.040 justice was

00:28:08.480 served.

00:28:10.700 That's where

00:28:11.840 we're headed.

00:28:13.860 It's almost

00:28:14.780 unbelievable that

00:28:16.680 we could do it

00:28:17.360 willingly.

00:28:17.760 We're just

00:28:18.720 sleepwalking

00:28:19.560 right into the

00:28:20.660 woodchipper,

00:28:21.520 and we know

00:28:22.740 what's happening.

00:28:23.780 Well, there's

00:28:24.460 the woodchipper

00:28:24.980 walking right

00:28:26.440 toward it.

00:28:27.260 Let's walk

00:28:27.860 into that

00:28:28.260 woodchipper.

00:28:29.880 What do you

00:28:30.500 mean it's a

00:28:30.840 bad idea?

00:28:31.540 Well, I know

00:28:31.960 it's a bad

00:28:32.320 idea, but I'm

00:28:32.960 going to do it

00:28:33.320 anyway.

00:28:34.000 Walk it into

00:28:34.580 the woodchipper.

00:28:36.100 Or has the

00:28:38.260 public so beaten

00:28:39.500 down and

00:28:40.100 discouraged and

00:28:41.140 demoralized that

00:28:43.720 the Democrats can

00:28:44.640 literally do

00:28:45.380 whatever they

00:28:45.820 want at this

00:28:46.360 point, because

00:28:47.360 they've already

00:28:48.480 told you you'll

00:28:49.120 go to jail if

00:28:49.840 you even protest.

00:28:51.420 That's what

00:28:52.040 January 6th was

00:28:52.900 about, in my

00:28:54.020 opinion.

00:28:55.220 In my opinion,

00:28:56.140 January 6th was

00:28:56.960 about stopping the

00:28:58.820 next protest.

00:29:00.560 I don't think it

00:29:01.080 was about the

00:29:01.560 last one, because

00:29:02.800 nobody cares about

00:29:03.500 the last one.

00:29:04.120 It looked like a

00:29:04.840 one-off, right?

00:29:06.780 Didn't January 6th

00:29:07.700 look like a one-off

00:29:08.760 by patriots who

00:29:10.280 maybe were misled

00:29:11.980 about what

00:29:12.740 information was true

00:29:13.640 and what wasn't, or

00:29:15.100 maybe they were

00:29:15.620 right and we

00:29:16.220 don't know it.

00:29:16.860 That's also a

00:29:17.460 possibility.

00:29:18.840 So I think that

00:29:21.160 the January 6th

00:29:22.620 hammer is to

00:29:23.680 make sure that

00:29:24.320 the same people

00:29:25.040 don't complain

00:29:25.840 when things get

00:29:27.620 worse, and it's

00:29:28.660 more obvious that

00:29:29.660 they're being

00:29:30.840 abused.

00:29:32.500 Now, I don't

00:29:33.060 know that people

00:29:33.580 actually have that

00:29:34.420 conscious thought.

00:29:36.660 This would be a

00:29:37.300 case of people

00:29:37.920 just who are on

00:29:39.180 the same side

00:29:40.060 would just

00:29:41.280 naturally know

00:29:42.300 what's good for

00:29:42.960 their team, so

00:29:43.720 the collective

00:29:44.260 actions look like

00:29:45.260 a plot, but it

00:29:46.440 doesn't need to be

00:29:47.020 a plot.

00:29:47.980 It's just everybody

00:29:48.580 knows what's good

00:29:49.280 for their team.

00:29:50.360 Now, what's good

00:29:50.840 for their team is

00:29:51.600 that any time the

00:29:52.800 other side complains,

00:29:53.820 they go to jail.

00:29:56.920 That's pretty good

00:29:57.680 for your team.

00:29:58.940 Do you think your

00:29:59.520 team is stronger if

00:30:00.620 the other team

00:30:02.120 complains about

00:30:02.880 you cheating, that

00:30:04.440 the team complaining

00:30:05.420 about the cheating

00:30:06.080 goes to jail?

00:30:07.500 Not the

00:30:08.020 cheaters, or

00:30:09.520 potential cheaters,

00:30:10.840 because we don't

00:30:11.320 have proof of

00:30:11.900 cheating, but no,

00:30:13.740 the people

00:30:14.040 complained about

00:30:14.980 it.

00:30:15.240 They go to jail

00:30:15.940 because the way

00:30:17.900 they complained

00:30:18.520 would be the

00:30:19.060 argument, right?

00:30:20.380 And of course,

00:30:21.260 nobody's arguing

00:30:21.940 about the ones

00:30:22.520 who were actually

00:30:22.980 violent.

00:30:24.120 For the NPCs,

00:30:25.540 I'd like to

00:30:26.160 once again bring

00:30:27.540 Dale in to

00:30:28.720 just sum this

00:30:30.320 up.

00:30:32.180 There were some

00:30:32.880 people who were

00:30:33.460 violent on January

00:30:34.320 6th.

00:30:35.860 We know.

00:30:38.580 Dale, we know.

00:30:39.500 We know.

00:30:40.600 We know.

00:30:41.720 We know.

00:30:42.280 We're not talking

00:30:42.860 about them.

00:30:43.500 We know.

00:30:44.140 Dale.

00:30:46.180 But did you know

00:30:47.040 that there were

00:30:47.460 some that were

00:30:47.840 violent?

00:30:48.540 No, Dale.

00:30:49.680 Dale, stop it.

00:30:51.440 Soil and greed is 0.91

00:30:52.100 people.

00:30:53.460 Just like the

00:30:54.020 Matrix.

00:30:55.720 All right, Dale,

00:30:56.440 go back to your

00:30:57.300 hiding place.

00:30:59.120 All right.

00:31:01.920 Now, here's the

00:31:03.340 interesting part.

00:31:04.840 Vivek Ramaswamy,

00:31:08.260 who's, again,

00:31:11.060 doing amazing

00:31:12.060 in his job of

00:31:13.500 campaigning.

00:31:14.700 Is there anyone

00:31:15.340 who would disagree

00:31:15.960 with the statement

00:31:16.680 that Vivek Ramaswamy

00:31:18.600 is showing

00:31:19.840 Republicans had a

00:31:20.840 campaign?

00:31:23.180 Would everybody

00:31:23.900 agree with that?

00:31:25.600 Or is this just

00:31:26.400 my own, am I

00:31:27.920 biased?

00:31:29.340 Because even if

00:31:30.200 you don't pick him,

00:31:31.180 you know, even if

00:31:31.700 he's not your first

00:31:32.460 choice, which I get,

00:31:33.780 I get that,

00:31:34.840 even if he's not

00:31:35.600 your first choice,

00:31:36.680 he's running a

00:31:37.560 campaign like I've

00:31:38.440 never seen.

00:31:39.900 To me, to me,

00:31:40.780 this looks like the

00:31:41.400 best, so far,

00:31:44.140 best campaign I've

00:31:45.060 ever seen, I would

00:31:46.800 say.

00:31:47.980 No mistakes.

00:31:49.820 No mistakes.

00:31:51.860 He gets in the

00:31:52.620 news every day by

00:31:54.020 being provocative,

00:31:55.420 but he's provocative

00:31:56.560 within bounds.

00:31:58.520 Right?

00:31:59.400 Like, he can see

00:32:00.500 the line, and he

00:32:01.760 walks right up to

00:32:02.460 the line, and

00:32:03.660 instead of what

00:32:04.280 Trump does,

00:32:04.840 which he'll stick

00:32:05.460 his foot over the

00:32:06.140 line, like

00:32:07.300 repeatedly.

00:32:08.520 Vivek goes up to

00:32:09.400 the line, he may

00:32:10.340 try to move the

00:32:10.960 line, but he stays

00:32:12.680 very clearly on the

00:32:15.080 side of the line

00:32:15.680 that keeps him out

00:32:16.340 of trouble and

00:32:17.060 allows him to be a

00:32:18.480 credible president,

00:32:19.840 should it come to

00:32:20.720 that.

00:32:21.740 So, I can't say

00:32:23.440 enough about how

00:32:24.860 smart he is in

00:32:27.680 just pushing his

00:32:28.960 campaign.

00:32:30.360 And I would say

00:32:31.120 that others are

00:32:31.760 copying him.

00:32:32.400 I think he's

00:32:33.440 already setting a

00:32:34.180 standard that

00:32:34.800 others have to

00:32:35.420 look to, to

00:32:36.120 figure out what

00:32:37.080 to do.

00:32:38.380 But, here's

00:32:39.240 something he said

00:32:39.860 that I thought

00:32:41.380 captured it

00:32:42.040 perfectly.

00:32:42.860 So, he's making

00:32:43.720 the argument why

00:32:44.500 he should be

00:32:45.020 president instead

00:32:45.820 of Trump, when

00:32:47.220 it's obvious that

00:32:48.020 more people like

00:32:48.740 Trump.

00:32:49.720 It's a tough

00:32:50.240 argument, right?

00:32:51.600 Why would you

00:32:52.380 vote for him if

00:32:54.600 you clearly prefer

00:32:55.620 Trump?

00:32:56.520 You know,

00:32:57.020 according to the

00:32:57.540 polls.

00:32:57.760 And his

00:32:58.440 argument is

00:32:58.960 this, that

00:33:01.400 about 30% of

00:33:02.440 the country

00:33:02.800 becomes, quote,

00:33:03.780 psychiatrically ill

00:33:05.160 in response to

00:33:05.980 whatever Trump

00:33:06.680 champions.

00:33:07.800 And they will

00:33:08.540 take a new

00:33:09.080 outsider, somebody

00:33:10.180 like Vivek, to

00:33:11.460 further the agenda.

00:33:13.620 What do you

00:33:13.940 think of that

00:33:14.320 argument?

00:33:15.740 I like the same

00:33:16.660 things Trump

00:33:17.200 does, but because

00:33:18.720 he makes 30% of

00:33:19.920 the country

00:33:20.340 psychiatrically ill,

00:33:22.440 he's simply no

00:33:23.340 longer practical.

00:33:24.200 You need the

00:33:25.840 practical alternative

00:33:26.960 that gets you

00:33:28.260 Trump-like results,

00:33:29.840 but without the

00:33:30.740 Trump-like

00:33:31.420 psychological damage.

00:33:33.920 It's very good.

00:33:35.520 It's not good,

00:33:36.300 it's perfect.

00:33:37.880 It's exactly the

00:33:39.240 right argument.

00:33:40.260 Because it's not

00:33:41.320 insulting Trump,

00:33:43.160 because he's not

00:33:43.780 saying that people

00:33:44.600 go crazy because

00:33:45.720 of Trump.

00:33:47.680 He's simply

00:33:48.600 noting a fact

00:33:49.840 that we all

00:33:50.460 see.

00:33:51.400 You all see the

00:33:52.340 same thing.

00:33:52.840 we all see the

00:33:54.600 30% of the

00:33:55.400 public goes

00:33:55.980 absolutely

00:33:56.700 psychologically

00:33:57.660 nuts.

00:33:59.620 Now, would you

00:34:00.200 agree that Trump

00:34:01.080 makes it easy?

00:34:02.740 He gives them

00:34:03.680 the material that

00:34:04.560 they can do it,

00:34:05.260 because he stays

00:34:06.100 provocative all the

00:34:07.140 time.

00:34:09.360 Vivek is a little

00:34:10.360 bit more nimble,

00:34:11.880 so he's not going

00:34:12.700 into provocative

00:34:13.440 territory just to

00:34:14.700 be provocative.

00:34:16.140 He goes

00:34:17.040 everywhere he has

00:34:17.900 the better

00:34:18.280 argument, and

00:34:19.520 then he wins

00:34:20.020 it, and then he

00:34:21.240 finds another

00:34:21.700 place where he

00:34:22.240 has the best

00:34:22.680 argument, and

00:34:23.240 then he goes

00:34:23.520 and he wins

00:34:23.860 that.

00:34:24.580 But he's

00:34:25.100 basically winning

00:34:25.860 arguments.

00:34:27.220 He's not just

00:34:27.820 making your hair

00:34:28.400 catch on fire.

00:34:29.560 It's a very

00:34:30.040 different strategy.

00:34:31.620 So I would say

00:34:32.540 that he perfectly

00:34:33.360 framed it.

00:34:34.880 I can give you

00:34:35.960 similar results to

00:34:37.080 Trump, who you

00:34:37.680 liked, but I'll

00:34:39.820 do it without

00:34:40.300 making the other

00:34:41.020 side mentally ill.

00:34:43.360 That's a really

00:34:44.120 strong case.

00:34:47.040 Because he knows,

00:34:48.360 and you know,

00:34:49.520 that the only

00:34:50.240 problem with

00:34:50.860 Trump, in my

00:34:52.680 opinion, not the

00:34:54.140 only problem,

00:34:54.760 that's too far.

00:34:56.380 The main

00:34:57.060 problem with

00:34:57.680 Trump is that

00:34:59.340 the other side

00:34:59.900 goes crazy, and

00:35:01.820 that causes 0.52

00:35:02.240 trouble for you

00:35:03.040 and me and

00:35:03.600 everybody else who

00:35:04.320 might think that

00:35:05.140 his policies are

00:35:05.920 good.

00:35:07.100 So it's a

00:35:07.960 strong play,

00:35:08.900 strong play.

00:35:09.920 And he's also

00:35:10.620 being completely

00:35:11.480 respectful to

00:35:13.360 Trump and his

00:35:14.160 accomplishments and

00:35:15.180 how he's

00:35:16.880 changed the

00:35:17.320 country.

00:35:18.740 So he could

00:35:19.700 not be more

00:35:20.420 on point on

00:35:21.660 that.

00:35:23.040 And he says,

00:35:23.940 I think it is

00:35:24.460 unproductive for

00:35:25.500 a country to

00:35:26.020 blame Trump for

00:35:26.720 January 6th,

00:35:28.300 because it

00:35:29.040 exonerates

00:35:29.660 everyone else

00:35:30.680 from introspection

00:35:32.520 on what actually

00:35:35.560 led to the

00:35:36.120 frustrations of

00:35:36.980 America that

00:35:38.060 boiled over that

00:35:39.320 day.

00:35:40.280 Is that

00:35:40.640 perfect?

00:35:41.980 I mean,

00:35:42.360 that is just

00:35:43.200 so perfect.

00:35:45.140 Communication

00:35:45.640 skills are just

00:35:46.880 off the

00:35:48.340 fucking chart.

00:35:49.880 All right,

00:35:50.140 to say it's

00:35:50.540 unproductive is

00:35:51.540 exactly the

00:35:52.300 right frame.

00:35:53.700 Don't say it's

00:35:54.460 wrong.

00:35:55.780 Don't say it's

00:35:56.480 true.

00:35:57.700 Don't say it's

00:35:58.340 untrue.

00:35:59.820 Say it's not

00:36:00.780 useful.

00:36:02.120 It's unproductive.

00:36:03.900 Boom.

00:36:05.020 Exactly,

00:36:05.880 exactly the

00:36:06.720 right place.

00:36:07.760 Like, he's

00:36:08.380 finding the

00:36:09.000 exhaust pipe on

00:36:09.900 the Death Star

00:36:10.620 like three times

00:36:12.140 a day.

00:36:13.200 Like, I don't

00:36:13.640 know if you're

00:36:13.980 catching that.

00:36:15.200 Let me say it

00:36:15.680 again.

00:36:16.940 Vivek is

00:36:17.600 finding the

00:36:18.360 exhaust pipe of

00:36:19.580 the Death Star

00:36:20.400 three times a

00:36:22.040 day, right in

00:36:23.460 front of you.

00:36:24.700 If you don't

00:36:25.380 start noticing the

00:36:26.280 pattern after a

00:36:27.240 while, like,

00:36:28.220 that's got to be

00:36:28.700 on you, because

00:36:30.080 there's a very

00:36:30.840 clear pattern

00:36:31.620 developing, which

00:36:32.540 is extreme

00:36:34.020 skill.

00:36:35.180 Extreme skill.

00:36:36.740 Like we've

00:36:37.420 never seen,

00:36:38.000 honestly.

00:36:38.260 Trump's in a

00:36:41.280 category of

00:36:41.820 his own.

00:36:42.260 He's a one

00:36:42.820 of a kind.

00:36:43.780 So there's

00:36:44.080 nobody who's

00:36:44.640 more Trump

00:36:45.480 than Trump.

00:36:46.720 He's the

00:36:47.080 best Trump.

00:36:48.620 But if you

00:36:49.500 want something

00:36:50.080 else that

00:36:51.280 gives you

00:36:51.740 maybe some

00:36:52.260 similar outcomes,

00:36:53.840 that's a hell

00:36:54.600 of an option.

00:36:56.000 And I think

00:36:56.520 it's becoming

00:36:57.500 obvious to all

00:36:58.760 observers, too,

00:36:59.700 which is

00:37:00.040 interesting.

00:37:01.220 Are you

00:37:01.640 watching this

00:37:02.320 slow realization

00:37:04.860 that, oh,

00:37:06.780 yeah, his

00:37:07.240 polling numbers

00:37:08.080 are not, you

00:37:08.740 know, through

00:37:09.100 the roof,

00:37:09.840 Vivek, but

00:37:10.940 they're solid.

00:37:12.080 It does show

00:37:13.020 that people are

00:37:13.560 paying attention.

00:37:14.880 And why is it

00:37:15.640 that every time

00:37:16.200 we want to do

00:37:16.740 a hit piece on

00:37:17.380 him, we

00:37:17.680 can't?

00:37:19.160 Have you

00:37:19.700 noticed that?

00:37:21.000 Have you

00:37:21.360 noticed?

00:37:23.160 Dog not

00:37:23.900 barking, people.

00:37:25.340 Here's the

00:37:26.000 biggest dog

00:37:26.820 that's not

00:37:27.280 barking.

00:37:29.440 Nobody's run

00:37:30.100 a big hit piece

00:37:30.860 on Vivek yet.

00:37:32.680 Nobody.

00:37:33.820 Do you know

00:37:34.180 why?

00:37:35.680 They got

00:37:36.320 nothing.

00:37:37.420 They got

00:37:37.800 nothing.

00:37:38.740 It's the same 0.53

00:37:39.240 reason you

00:37:39.620 haven't seen

00:37:40.020 the big hit

00:37:40.480 piece on

00:37:40.860 me.

00:37:42.140 Right?

00:37:42.500 I got fully

00:37:43.280 canceled globally.

00:37:45.000 I got canceled

00:37:46.200 all over the

00:37:46.820 planet.

00:37:48.300 What's the

00:37:48.760 next thing

00:37:49.200 that always

00:37:49.920 happens after

00:37:50.580 you get

00:37:50.900 canceled?

00:37:51.940 Always.

00:37:53.180 There are

00:37:53.720 large articles

00:37:54.620 showing that

00:37:55.860 the recent

00:37:56.780 thing you

00:37:57.220 did is not

00:37:58.420 unusual because

00:37:59.340 you have a

00:37:59.740 whole history

00:38:00.240 of bad

00:38:00.620 things.

00:38:02.280 Did you see

00:38:02.780 that with

00:38:03.080 me?

00:38:04.320 No.

00:38:05.880 Do you

00:38:06.420 think nobody

00:38:06.880 looked into

00:38:07.380 it?

00:38:07.940 Do you

00:38:08.140 think nobody

00:38:08.660 scoured all

00:38:09.540 of my old

00:38:10.160 tweets?

00:38:10.840 Of course

00:38:11.260 they did.

00:38:12.240 Do you

00:38:12.440 think they

00:38:12.840 didn't look

00:38:13.180 at every

00:38:13.660 blog post I

00:38:14.480 ever read,

00:38:15.300 wrote,

00:38:15.700 every book I

00:38:16.920 ever wrote?

00:38:18.920 You don't

00:38:19.300 think they

00:38:19.620 looked at all

00:38:20.300 of it,

00:38:20.640 looking for

00:38:21.040 the supporting

00:38:21.740 data to

00:38:22.760 their theory?

00:38:24.000 Of course

00:38:24.440 they did.

00:38:25.260 They looked

00:38:25.740 through 30

00:38:26.260 years of my

00:38:26.820 life and

00:38:27.160 didn't find a

00:38:27.620 fucking thing. 0.87

00:38:28.100 That's the

00:38:29.680 only reason.

00:38:31.320 Would you

00:38:31.740 agree that

00:38:33.780 if anything

00:38:34.480 was there,

00:38:35.560 there would

00:38:35.980 have been a

00:38:36.360 major story

00:38:37.040 about it?

00:38:38.000 Because my

00:38:38.760 cancellation was

00:38:39.540 a major story.

00:38:40.620 It's the

00:38:41.020 obvious follow-up.

00:38:42.780 Oh my God,

00:38:44.060 he was always

00:38:44.820 like this and

00:38:45.920 we just didn't

00:38:46.560 know.

00:38:47.980 And then it

00:38:48.400 turns out there

00:38:48.800 was nothing

00:38:49.160 there because

00:38:50.220 the story was

00:38:51.000 90% bullshit

00:38:52.680 the way it was

00:38:53.200 framed.

00:38:54.420 Now, there are

00:38:55.280 still people who

00:38:55.840 believe the news,

00:38:56.480 so I feel

00:38:57.600 sorry for you.

00:38:58.480 But if you

00:38:58.940 believe the news

00:38:59.500 about public

00:39:00.140 figures, then

00:39:01.360 I'm doubly

00:39:01.960 sorry for you

00:39:02.700 because that's

00:39:03.300 just never

00:39:03.740 true.

00:39:04.860 Now, back

00:39:05.280 to Vivek.

00:39:07.580 Vivek is way

00:39:08.500 too strong

00:39:09.360 already and

00:39:10.660 he does have

00:39:11.140 a path, by

00:39:11.860 the way.

00:39:12.420 If you think

00:39:12.880 he doesn't

00:39:13.260 have a path,

00:39:14.280 the Democrats

00:39:14.900 are making

00:39:15.480 the path for

00:39:16.240 him.

00:39:17.240 The Democrats

00:39:17.860 are trying to

00:39:18.460 take out the

00:39:19.000 only thing that

00:39:19.720 stands between

00:39:20.380 Vivek and the

00:39:21.320 White House

00:39:21.760 because it's

00:39:22.780 not DeSantis,

00:39:24.580 in my opinion.

00:39:25.760 In my

00:39:26.240 opinion, a

00:39:26.940 straight-up

00:39:27.560 contest between

00:39:28.480 DeSantis and

00:39:29.740 Vivek would

00:39:31.400 go Vivek's

00:39:32.500 way.

00:39:33.620 And it would

00:39:33.920 be just

00:39:34.400 because if

00:39:35.340 you put the

00:39:35.760 two of them

00:39:36.040 on the stage

00:39:36.600 together,

00:39:39.740 one's a

00:39:41.860 nuclear power

00:39:42.640 plant and the

00:39:43.200 other's a

00:39:44.900 lighter.

00:39:47.780 They're not

00:39:48.420 really on the

00:39:49.020 same, I don't

00:39:49.740 think they're on

00:39:50.180 the same plane.

00:39:52.640 The same way 0.72

00:39:53.580 you'd expect

00:39:54.180 Trump would

00:39:55.560 destroy, let's

00:39:57.180 say, Pence

00:39:57.740 in a

00:39:58.920 debate.

00:40:01.220 You can't

00:40:01.960 imagine that

00:40:02.660 DeSantis would

00:40:03.340 be able to

00:40:03.680 beat Vivek in

00:40:04.700 a debate

00:40:05.180 because he

00:40:06.060 would have

00:40:06.360 nothing to

00:40:06.760 go after.

00:40:07.600 You can't

00:40:07.940 go after

00:40:08.240 Vivek's...

00:40:09.460 Vivek doesn't

00:40:10.280 have a history

00:40:12.140 to go after,

00:40:12.880 a political

00:40:13.380 history.

00:40:14.680 So that

00:40:15.540 entire area

00:40:17.200 of attack

00:40:17.900 just doesn't

00:40:18.520 exist.

00:40:19.880 Nor does he

00:40:20.720 have what

00:40:21.320 Trump had,

00:40:21.960 which were

00:40:22.280 some

00:40:22.500 businesses

00:40:22.980 that had

00:40:23.580 some

00:40:23.860 sketchy

00:40:25.020 elements to

00:40:25.600 him.

00:40:27.120 He doesn't

00:40:27.820 have anything.

00:40:28.640 There's just

00:40:28.960 nothing to

00:40:29.400 attack.

00:40:30.220 So you

00:40:30.600 would have

00:40:30.880 to attack

00:40:31.380 with Vivek

00:40:32.140 his current

00:40:33.120 opinions,

00:40:34.720 which match

00:40:35.740 Republicans

00:40:36.340 well.

00:40:37.800 So DeSantis

00:40:38.380 has no

00:40:38.980 policy or

00:40:42.720 historical

00:40:43.340 advantage over

00:40:44.120 Vivek's

00:40:44.740 argument.

00:40:45.440 Nothing.

00:40:46.320 So he would

00:40:46.920 have to go

00:40:47.320 against them

00:40:47.860 as a smart,

00:40:48.960 capable person,

00:40:49.840 which he is.

00:40:50.440 DeSantis is

00:40:52.320 very smart,

00:40:53.520 very capable,

00:40:55.160 and has a

00:40:55.940 track record

00:40:56.560 of proving

00:40:57.020 that he is

00:40:57.680 both smart

00:40:58.180 and capable

00:40:58.600 and does

00:40:59.160 things you

00:40:59.520 like.

00:41:00.400 It's a

00:41:00.680 very strong

00:41:01.120 package.

00:41:02.820 But Vivek's

00:41:04.940 oratory and

00:41:06.980 his communication

00:41:07.540 skills,

00:41:08.320 his framing,

00:41:09.260 are a whole

00:41:09.740 different level.

00:41:10.340 They are not

00:41:12.200 verbally equal.

00:41:15.680 You all get

00:41:16.260 that?

00:41:17.220 Everybody gets

00:41:17.920 that Vivek's

00:41:18.540 on his own

00:41:19.060 level.

00:41:19.400 If you put

00:41:20.560 him in a

00:41:20.860 contest where

00:41:21.500 talking is

00:41:22.480 the game,

00:41:23.880 it's no

00:41:24.320 contest.

00:41:26.200 If you put

00:41:26.920 him in a

00:41:27.200 contest where

00:41:27.760 they both

00:41:28.240 governed,

00:41:29.420 maybe DeSantis

00:41:30.220 is better.

00:41:32.120 I have

00:41:32.900 absolutely

00:41:33.260 nothing negative

00:41:34.460 about DeSantis.

00:41:36.320 Nothing.

00:41:37.600 He would be

00:41:38.220 just a solid,

00:41:39.280 solid president,

00:41:40.040 in my opinion.

00:41:41.680 But I just

00:41:42.960 think he would

00:41:43.380 disappear on

00:41:44.020 the stage next

00:41:44.820 to Vivek's

00:41:45.660 firepower.

00:41:46.280 I think he'd

00:41:47.580 just blow him 0.99

00:41:48.020 away.

00:41:49.400 It wouldn't

00:41:50.400 be instant.

00:41:51.240 I think what

00:41:51.640 you would see

00:41:52.020 if you saw

00:41:52.480 those two

00:41:52.940 debate,

00:41:53.880 I think you'd

00:41:54.480 see DeSantis

00:41:56.260 going from a

00:41:57.780 commanding lead

00:41:58.700 to half of

00:42:00.240 that lead

00:42:00.700 with one

00:42:01.360 debate.

00:42:02.620 And then the

00:42:03.140 stories would be

00:42:03.740 about momentum

00:42:04.420 and then it

00:42:05.900 would be over.

00:42:08.420 If he could

00:42:09.280 pull head before

00:42:10.480 the actual

00:42:11.260 primary stuff.

00:42:13.600 Anyway,

00:42:14.000 so if you don't

00:42:14.460 think Vivek has a

00:42:15.340 path,

00:42:15.720 the Democrats

00:42:16.720 are trying as

00:42:17.460 hard as possible

00:42:18.400 to make that

00:42:18.960 path.

00:42:19.700 And here's my

00:42:20.440 payoff for

00:42:21.760 listening to all

00:42:22.440 this.

00:42:24.220 Whether Vivek

00:42:25.220 says it directly

00:42:26.220 or not,

00:42:27.420 and he probably

00:42:27.980 wouldn't,

00:42:29.780 if Trump gets

00:42:31.000 taken down,

00:42:32.780 you're going to

00:42:33.340 want revenge.

00:42:36.040 Am I right?

00:42:37.880 Even if you

00:42:38.700 didn't like Trump,

00:42:40.000 let's say you're a

00:42:40.900 conservative Republican

00:42:42.020 and you didn't like

00:42:43.260 Trump, you legitimately

00:42:44.400 didn't want him to be

00:42:45.220 the next candidate.

00:42:46.740 But if he got

00:42:47.340 taken out by dirty

00:42:49.360 tricks, in your

00:42:50.380 opinion, they were

00:42:51.240 dirty tricks,

00:42:52.520 wouldn't you want

00:42:53.900 revenge?

00:42:55.940 Even if he's not

00:42:56.820 your guy, right?

00:42:58.260 Just the fact that

00:42:59.120 somebody on your

00:42:59.720 team got taken out

00:43:00.780 by the other side,

00:43:03.000 you're going to want

00:43:03.600 revenge.

00:43:05.120 Who's going to give

00:43:05.840 it to you?

00:43:08.200 Pence?

00:43:08.600 Do you think

00:43:13.280 DeSantis cares

00:43:16.880 about what

00:43:18.720 happens to

00:43:19.280 Trump?

00:43:21.100 At the moment,

00:43:22.120 probably not.

00:43:24.220 Now, it's not

00:43:25.300 just a question of

00:43:26.180 who cares about

00:43:26.900 what.

00:43:27.840 It's also a

00:43:28.580 question of

00:43:29.220 protecting the

00:43:30.120 base and

00:43:31.200 making sure that

00:43:31.960 one side is not

00:43:32.860 a victim to the

00:43:33.580 other.

00:43:34.300 I think Vivek

00:43:35.140 would rip him

00:43:35.720 apart.

00:43:36.020 I think Vivek

00:43:38.780 would take out

00:43:39.920 the evil from

00:43:40.580 the roots.

00:43:42.060 Because that's

00:43:42.440 what he's talking

00:43:42.940 about.

00:43:43.780 I mean, he's

00:43:44.100 talking about

00:43:44.580 going after the

00:43:45.180 root system.

00:43:46.260 Nobody's ever

00:43:46.780 talked about that.

00:43:47.980 The whole

00:43:48.260 draining the

00:43:48.820 swamp thing

00:43:49.300 wasn't even

00:43:49.860 Trump.

00:43:50.620 I think the

00:43:51.120 crowd said

00:43:52.180 that he just

00:43:52.720 embraced it.

00:43:53.920 But Vivek is

00:43:54.680 talking very

00:43:55.520 detailed about

00:43:57.320 which entities

00:43:58.040 are going to

00:43:58.420 go completely

00:43:59.260 away.

00:44:00.780 Yeah.

00:44:01.120 Pulling it up

00:44:01.580 by its roots

00:44:02.320 is a pretty

00:44:04.260 strong statement

00:44:05.040 and it would

00:44:05.860 look like

00:44:06.300 revenge to

00:44:07.200 Republicans.

00:44:08.880 All right.

00:44:09.420 Well, how

00:44:09.980 about your

00:44:10.540 department

00:44:10.920 doesn't exist

00:44:11.660 anymore?

00:44:12.560 That's how

00:44:12.980 much we

00:44:13.400 love you.

00:44:15.600 So here's

00:44:16.320 the situation

00:44:16.860 I see

00:44:17.220 developing.

00:44:18.060 The Democrats

00:44:18.640 are going to

00:44:18.960 try to take

00:44:19.420 Trump out

00:44:19.940 or at least

00:44:20.500 they'll damage

00:44:21.020 him so much

00:44:21.660 that he looks

00:44:22.280 less like he

00:44:24.900 could take on

00:44:25.400 Biden.

00:44:27.380 If Trump

00:44:28.140 goes down,

00:44:29.960 and so far

00:44:30.640 I'm predicting 0.90

00:44:32.020 against it,

00:44:33.420 I think it's

00:44:33.800 more likely

00:44:34.300 Trump survives

00:44:35.160 all the legal

00:44:35.660 challenges.

00:44:37.220 But if he

00:44:37.900 doesn't,

00:44:38.380 it's certainly

00:44:38.700 not guaranteed,

00:44:39.620 if he doesn't,

00:44:41.240 Vivek is going

00:44:41.900 to be the

00:44:42.520 sword of the

00:44:43.920 Republicans.

00:44:46.780 Vivek will be

00:44:47.520 the sword of

00:44:48.500 the Republicans.

00:44:50.840 Because I

00:44:51.420 don't think

00:44:52.000 that the

00:44:52.380 Republicans,

00:44:52.820 I don't think

00:44:53.220 Trump supporters

00:44:53.980 would trust

00:44:55.160 DeSantis to do

00:44:56.140 what needs to

00:44:56.700 be done.

00:44:57.660 Is that fair?

00:44:59.100 You might even

00:44:59.840 like DeSantis,

00:45:00.800 you might even

00:45:01.280 think he'd be a

00:45:01.840 great president,

00:45:02.600 I think he'd

00:45:03.080 be solid.

00:45:04.640 But you don't

00:45:05.520 think he would

00:45:06.240 necessarily get

00:45:07.160 you the

00:45:07.880 vengeance that

00:45:09.480 you feel you

00:45:10.080 need.

00:45:11.520 And I don't

00:45:12.580 recommend vengeance

00:45:13.400 as a policy

00:45:15.160 preference.

00:45:16.540 I'm not saying

00:45:17.300 you should be

00:45:17.920 vengeful,

00:45:19.180 I'm saying

00:45:19.680 you're going

00:45:20.140 to feel it.

00:45:21.280 It's just

00:45:21.740 going to be

00:45:22.140 there,

00:45:22.580 whether you

00:45:23.080 like it or

00:45:23.540 not.

00:45:23.840 I'd feel it.

00:45:24.880 I would

00:45:25.220 definitely want

00:45:25.740 revenge,

00:45:26.780 even while I'm

00:45:27.480 telling myself,

00:45:28.180 don't be like

00:45:28.640 that, Scott.

00:45:29.600 Don't be that

00:45:30.260 guy, don't

00:45:31.400 be that guy

00:45:31.960 who wants

00:45:32.280 revenge.

00:45:33.860 But I'd

00:45:34.260 want it.

00:45:35.740 And I'd

00:45:36.220 be happy if

00:45:36.760 he got it.

00:45:38.400 So CNN's

00:45:39.300 reporting about

00:45:39.980 they're talking

00:45:44.740 about a

00:45:45.260 study from

00:45:45.860 the JAMA

00:45:47.660 Surgery

00:45:49.200 Journal.

00:45:50.600 Did some

00:45:51.300 kind of a

00:45:51.640 study or

00:45:52.180 report or

00:45:52.900 something that

00:45:53.340 said that

00:45:53.680 mass shootings

00:45:54.200 in major

00:45:54.720 metropolitan

00:45:55.200 areas in

00:45:55.780 the United

00:45:56.040 States

00:45:56.380 disproportionately

00:45:57.680 affect black 0.63

00:45:58.480 people.

00:45:58.820 And structural

00:46:00.880 racism may

00:46:02.180 play a role

00:46:02.960 according to

00:46:04.020 this study.

00:46:05.780 That's right.

00:46:06.380 Mass shootings

00:46:07.120 disproportionately

00:46:08.700 affect black 0.63

00:46:09.680 people.

00:46:11.700 Now, there

00:46:12.120 was no

00:46:12.560 prescription given

00:46:15.060 about what to

00:46:15.680 do about it,

00:46:17.380 but I'd

00:46:20.620 say move

00:46:21.580 away.

00:46:23.840 I mean,

00:46:24.040 that's just

00:46:25.400 my first

00:46:25.840 thought.

00:46:26.160 if I were

00:46:29.520 black, I

00:46:30.060 would want

00:46:30.420 to get

00:46:30.720 away from

00:46:31.320 any place

00:46:32.060 that had a

00:46:32.580 high likelihood

00:46:33.300 of mass

00:46:34.320 shooting.

00:46:35.900 So shouldn't

00:46:36.860 you just get

00:46:37.520 away from

00:46:37.860 those places?

00:46:39.540 Now, I don't

00:46:40.340 believe that the

00:46:40.940 problem is that

00:46:41.620 white people are 0.70

00:46:42.300 coming into the

00:46:42.840 black neighborhoods

00:46:43.460 and shooting a

00:46:44.340 bunch of black

00:46:44.840 people.

00:46:45.900 The study doesn't

00:46:46.960 seem to say

00:46:47.500 that.

00:46:48.100 It would seem

00:46:48.580 like it's black 0.92

00:46:49.420 people shooting

00:46:49.960 other black

00:46:50.440 people.

00:46:51.740 And my guess

00:46:52.920 is that that

00:46:53.580 doesn't happen

00:46:54.160 in every town.

00:46:56.160 I would think

00:46:57.500 that might

00:46:57.960 statistically be

00:46:59.600 more likely

00:47:00.140 in places

00:47:01.340 where there's

00:47:01.880 greater density.

00:47:04.160 So if you

00:47:04.920 wanted to get

00:47:05.400 away from

00:47:05.760 this, you

00:47:07.380 should go

00:47:07.900 get away from

00:47:08.820 density of

00:47:10.200 any kind,

00:47:11.020 any kind of

00:47:11.600 density.

00:47:13.480 So that's my

00:47:14.500 advice to

00:47:15.660 black people

00:47:16.460 who are at

00:47:17.020 risk of mass

00:47:17.780 shootings because

00:47:18.460 they're in areas

00:47:19.040 where they're

00:47:19.520 more likely to

00:47:20.120 happen.

00:47:21.160 You should

00:47:21.460 get away from

00:47:21.900 there.

00:47:24.360 Am I double

00:47:25.240 canceled yet?

00:47:26.160 Do I get in

00:47:29.520 trouble for

00:47:29.940 giving reasonable

00:47:30.700 advice that

00:47:32.020 literally everybody

00:47:32.860 agrees with?

00:47:34.520 You all agree

00:47:35.440 with that.

00:47:35.940 Of course you

00:47:36.400 do.

00:47:37.120 But it's okay

00:47:37.860 because I said

00:47:38.460 I'm helping

00:47:39.280 black people.

00:47:40.760 Let me give

00:47:41.380 you my current

00:47:42.140 opinion on

00:47:43.560 things that are

00:47:44.960 good or bad

00:47:45.680 for black

00:47:46.100 people,

00:47:47.100 things that are

00:47:47.780 good or bad

00:47:48.420 for LGBTQ,

00:47:50.420 things that are

00:47:51.120 good or bad

00:47:51.760 for other

00:47:52.440 groups.

00:47:53.300 I don't care.

00:47:54.020 I think it's

00:47:56.300 stupid to look

00:47:57.260 at group

00:47:57.840 performance in

00:47:59.120 2023.

00:48:00.660 I'm all about

00:48:01.740 the individual.

00:48:03.500 So if there's

00:48:03.940 any individual

00:48:05.080 who's at risk

00:48:07.800 of mass

00:48:08.540 shootings and

00:48:09.220 wishes they

00:48:09.880 could find a

00:48:10.460 solution, I'd

00:48:11.860 be happy to

00:48:12.360 help.

00:48:13.160 I could

00:48:13.560 advise, maybe

00:48:14.960 if it's

00:48:15.240 somebody I

00:48:15.580 like, I

00:48:15.920 could help

00:48:16.100 them out

00:48:16.360 more directly.

00:48:16.920 So helping

00:48:19.280 individuals

00:48:20.080 succeed, I'm

00:48:22.240 all about

00:48:22.640 that.

00:48:23.360 And I'll

00:48:23.660 talk a lot

00:48:24.300 more about

00:48:24.720 that as the

00:48:25.240 year goes

00:48:25.540 by.

00:48:26.300 But I'm

00:48:27.100 kind of

00:48:27.540 retiring from

00:48:28.600 this group

00:48:29.420 is doing

00:48:29.800 better than

00:48:30.200 this group

00:48:30.700 and therefore

00:48:31.280 I don't

00:48:32.020 care.

00:48:33.460 Let me say

00:48:34.140 it directly.

00:48:35.300 I don't

00:48:35.700 care if

00:48:36.180 Albanians do

00:48:37.020 worse in

00:48:37.480 school than

00:48:38.160 Albanians.

00:48:40.260 I don't

00:48:40.880 care.

00:48:41.920 I don't

00:48:42.520 care at

00:48:42.760 all.

00:48:43.480 Not even

00:48:43.860 a little

00:48:44.080 bit.

00:48:45.200 I care about

00:48:45.900 every one

00:48:46.460 of those

00:48:46.740 individuals

00:48:47.260 though.

00:48:48.760 And I'm

00:48:49.160 pretty sure

00:48:49.520 that they

00:48:49.880 can all

00:48:50.280 succeed despite

00:48:51.920 racism if

00:48:52.860 they all do

00:48:53.340 the same

00:48:53.680 things that

00:48:54.120 everybody does.

00:48:55.300 So here's

00:48:55.740 the thing I

00:48:56.140 can't get

00:48:56.480 past.

00:48:57.940 No matter

00:48:58.500 who you

00:48:58.900 are, if

00:48:59.320 you do

00:48:59.560 the right

00:48:59.940 things in

00:49:00.480 America, you

00:49:01.600 get a good

00:49:02.040 outcome.

00:49:03.640 Stay out of

00:49:04.300 jail, stay 0.69

00:49:04.960 off drugs,

00:49:05.780 don't get

00:49:06.120 married too

00:49:06.600 early, don't

00:49:07.920 have a kid

00:49:08.340 and a

00:49:08.580 wedlock.

00:49:09.920 Easy

00:49:10.280 stuff.

00:49:11.240 Develop

00:49:11.560 some skills,

00:49:12.460 become useful.

00:49:14.300 Right?

00:49:14.940 There's nobody

00:49:15.620 who does

00:49:16.060 it a

00:49:16.320 different

00:49:16.540 way.

00:49:17.240 It's all

00:49:17.920 the same

00:49:18.320 way and

00:49:19.320 everybody has

00:49:19.920 access to

00:49:20.460 it.

00:49:21.320 So if you

00:49:21.720 tell me that

00:49:22.340 black Americans

00:49:23.140 are doing

00:49:23.740 poorly, I

00:49:25.200 don't care.

00:49:27.000 Let me say

00:49:27.700 it again.

00:49:28.780 If you

00:49:29.100 tell me black 0.97

00:49:29.720 Americans are

00:49:30.360 doing poorly, I

00:49:31.360 don't care at

00:49:32.780 all.

00:49:33.780 I used to

00:49:34.660 because I

00:49:35.460 used to think

00:49:35.880 that was the

00:49:36.340 right way to

00:49:36.820 approach the

00:49:37.580 issue.

00:49:38.260 Now I can

00:49:39.000 see that that

00:49:39.680 fails every

00:49:40.380 time because

00:49:41.500 you end up

00:49:41.920 just arguing

00:49:42.500 about statistics

00:49:43.340 and it's just

00:49:44.040 bullshit after a

00:49:44.820 while.

00:49:44.980 Well, because

00:49:45.940 you can make

00:49:46.340 any argument

00:49:46.980 with data and

00:49:48.520 when you're

00:49:48.800 talking about

00:49:49.320 a group of

00:49:50.000 people, it's

00:49:50.440 always a data

00:49:51.040 argument, right?

00:49:52.460 All data

00:49:53.060 arguments are

00:49:53.640 false in

00:49:55.260 2023.

00:49:56.900 So if there

00:49:57.820 were a way to

00:49:58.760 know the data

00:49:59.460 was accurate,

00:50:00.540 then maybe I'd

00:50:01.720 say, okay, maybe

00:50:02.600 you should look at

00:50:03.200 groups because

00:50:04.140 that data is

00:50:04.760 accurate.

00:50:05.740 And if you have

00:50:06.200 accurate data, you

00:50:07.040 might actually be

00:50:07.640 able to figure out

00:50:08.300 things that make

00:50:09.460 things better.

00:50:10.000 But if you

00:50:10.740 know you don't

00:50:11.200 have accurate

00:50:11.700 data and

00:50:12.200 never will, and

00:50:14.760 you know that

00:50:15.380 the way society

00:50:17.180 is organized is

00:50:18.560 that helping

00:50:19.060 classes of people

00:50:20.400 just creates more

00:50:21.280 problems, which it

00:50:22.680 does in 2023, then

00:50:24.980 it only makes sense

00:50:25.920 to shift your

00:50:26.940 frame from how

00:50:28.580 to help people

00:50:29.280 who have something

00:50:30.040 weird in common,

00:50:32.400 largely, yeah, it's

00:50:35.240 largely a conceptual

00:50:36.200 thing they have in

00:50:37.380 common.

00:50:38.180 Move from that

00:50:38.920 frame to, do I

00:50:40.280 have a neighbor

00:50:40.840 who needs a hand? 0.98

00:50:42.840 Is there somebody

00:50:43.380 I know who's a 0.79

00:50:44.820 victim of racism?

00:50:46.820 Could I do

00:50:47.380 something about it?

00:50:48.720 Could I teach them

00:50:49.560 how to be immune?

00:50:51.200 Could I hire them

00:50:52.540 and make sure that

00:50:53.320 they had a job and

00:50:54.060 they don't care so

00:50:54.700 much?

00:50:55.600 There are probably

00:50:56.020 a million ways you

00:50:56.740 can help an

00:50:57.180 individual, and I'm

00:50:58.840 all about that.

00:51:00.340 So if you're a

00:51:01.640 white individual and

00:51:02.540 you can help a

00:51:03.220 black individual or

00:51:04.320 any other kind of

00:51:05.000 individual, yeah, do

00:51:07.100 that.

00:51:07.620 Do that.

00:51:08.520 But if somebody

00:51:09.100 says my group is

00:51:10.160 doing poorly compared

00:51:11.380 to your group,

00:51:12.240 well, fuck them.

00:51:14.080 Just don't even get

00:51:15.320 interested.

00:51:16.640 Just say, yeah,

00:51:17.160 that's an interesting

00:51:17.920 philosophical point

00:51:19.580 that has no interest

00:51:20.460 to me.

00:51:22.020 You know, it doesn't

00:51:22.540 affect my life.

00:51:24.120 So that's the change

00:51:26.440 I'd like to see.

00:51:28.040 As we transition

00:51:29.260 from the, it's really

00:51:32.180 a scam, sort of a

00:51:33.920 scam to imagine that

00:51:34.920 you should compare

00:51:35.540 groups and then

00:51:36.500 make policy based

00:51:37.380 on that in 2023.

00:51:39.220 I do think

00:51:39.920 historically it

00:51:40.680 always made sense

00:51:41.580 because the problems

00:51:43.340 were the bigger

00:51:43.980 type, where the

00:51:45.320 discrimination was,

00:51:46.300 you know, built

00:51:46.840 into the legal

00:51:47.520 system, or it was

00:51:50.140 reverberated from the

00:51:51.600 past in such an

00:51:52.700 obvious way.

00:51:53.480 But once you get

00:51:54.340 to the point where

00:51:54.920 100% of individuals

00:51:56.800 can succeed, if they

00:51:59.560 just do the basic

00:52:00.360 things that everybody

00:52:01.160 who succeeds does,

00:52:03.120 then stop talking

00:52:04.340 about groups.

00:52:06.000 At that point, you're

00:52:07.220 just making things

00:52:07.940 worse.

00:52:09.040 So no interest, no

00:52:10.680 interest in what

00:52:12.540 white people or black 0.62

00:52:14.380 people or any other

00:52:15.580 group is doing.

00:52:18.120 So which part of that

00:52:19.380 do you think will be

00:52:20.020 taken out of context?

00:52:22.500 So somebody's already

00:52:23.880 clipping this, you know,

00:52:25.040 like, oh, I got that

00:52:26.520 part.

00:52:27.260 I got that part where

00:52:28.460 he said he doesn't care

00:52:29.260 about black people,

00:52:31.320 right?

00:52:31.800 Of course, that'll be

00:52:32.440 out of context.

00:52:33.840 Because I didn't say

00:52:34.780 that.

00:52:36.600 If you're listening, I

00:52:38.880 said I care deeply

00:52:39.820 about people.

00:52:41.960 People, like an 1.00

00:52:43.020 actual human.

00:52:44.000 I care about that.

00:52:45.220 I want them all to do

00:52:46.240 well.

00:52:47.180 I don't care about an 1.00

00:52:48.480 artificial grouping.

00:52:50.620 Oh, my artificial

00:52:51.600 grouping did better than

00:52:52.900 your artificial grouping.

00:52:54.200 I don't care.

00:52:56.500 How did any

00:52:57.300 individual do?

00:52:58.140 All right.

00:53:00.360 Too much on that.

00:53:04.700 Jonathan Turley,

00:53:06.080 continuing to be a

00:53:07.220 national treasure,

00:53:09.120 writing about legal

00:53:10.120 stuff.

00:53:10.840 The stuff he writes, I

00:53:12.200 just don't see anywhere

00:53:13.200 else.

00:53:14.700 I feel like all of his

00:53:16.440 takes are just better

00:53:17.380 than other people's

00:53:19.200 takes.

00:53:20.760 Are you having the

00:53:21.620 same impression?

00:53:23.480 Like, I don't know why

00:53:24.280 one person could

00:53:25.200 consistently say things

00:53:27.300 that when I read it,

00:53:28.180 you know, I'm not a

00:53:28.760 lawyer, so I'm doing

00:53:30.500 my best.

00:53:31.620 But when he talks, I

00:53:33.840 always say, well, that

00:53:34.860 sounds totally right.

00:53:36.200 That's exactly how you

00:53:37.220 should look at this

00:53:37.800 thing.

00:53:38.740 So he was talking

00:53:39.540 about Democrat

00:53:41.280 Representative Goldman,

00:53:43.360 who was trying to

00:53:45.480 make the Hunter Biden

00:53:47.780 whistleblower from the

00:53:49.900 IRS.

00:53:51.080 He was trying to, you

00:53:52.200 know, take the piss out

00:53:53.000 of him and degrade his

00:53:54.800 argument.

00:53:55.080 So there's a

00:53:56.240 whistleblower who

00:53:58.000 says that the, named

00:54:00.060 Shapley, who says that

00:54:01.220 the Hunter Biden

00:54:03.120 investigations were

00:54:04.580 impeded and slow

00:54:06.040 walked.

00:54:06.600 And he gives specific

00:54:07.580 examples of how it was

00:54:09.380 impeded and, you know,

00:54:10.960 what was slowed down.

00:54:12.540 And it's very compelling,

00:54:14.420 right?

00:54:14.760 It's one person's 0.71

00:54:15.580 testimony, but it's

00:54:16.940 under oath.

00:54:18.400 He's public.

00:54:19.820 And he was exactly the

00:54:21.540 right person to see it

00:54:22.960 firsthand.

00:54:23.400 So it's firsthand

00:54:25.220 under oath.

00:54:28.180 That's pretty strong.

00:54:30.160 Right?

00:54:30.920 Yeah.

00:54:31.820 That's pretty strong.

00:54:33.160 And also, I believe,

00:54:34.620 backed up by other

00:54:36.360 witnesses.

00:54:37.120 Can somebody give me a

00:54:37.880 fact check on that?

00:54:39.460 The latest whistleblower,

00:54:41.380 Shapley or Shapley, is it

00:54:44.460 not true that we have

00:54:45.380 other public whistleblowers

00:54:47.000 who say the same thing?

00:54:48.500 There's more than one,

00:54:49.600 right?

00:54:49.800 Is that true?

00:54:53.260 Yeah.

00:54:53.740 Okay.

00:54:54.120 I'm getting confirmation.

00:54:55.080 There's more than one.

00:54:55.960 All right.

00:54:56.220 So you're now at the

00:54:57.760 highest level of

00:54:59.020 credibility.

00:55:00.400 The highest level.

00:55:02.200 People who sought

00:55:03.060 themselves, have the

00:55:04.780 same story, put their

00:55:06.600 own skin in the game,

00:55:08.160 became whistleblowers.

00:55:09.140 This is not good for

00:55:10.040 them.

00:55:10.900 They're not going to

00:55:11.540 benefit from this.

00:55:13.120 And did it publicly

00:55:14.280 in front of the world.

00:55:17.420 Can you beat that?

00:55:18.220 That's pretty serious.

00:55:23.000 But here's what Jonathan

00:55:25.640 totally points out.

00:55:27.140 So Goldman was trying to

00:55:28.400 get to the fact that

00:55:29.280 whatever Hunter did

00:55:30.460 business-wise, there was

00:55:33.260 no evidence that he had

00:55:34.300 talked to his father.

00:55:36.640 So Goldman is trying to

00:55:38.060 establish in our public's

00:55:39.440 mind that, yeah, maybe

00:55:41.300 Hunter did some stuff,

00:55:42.660 but his father wasn't

00:55:43.740 aware of the business

00:55:44.540 dealings part of it.

00:55:45.540 And then he asked that

00:55:47.700 question, and Shapley

00:55:48.960 tells him that, no,

00:55:52.580 actually, we do have

00:55:53.760 proof that the father

00:55:54.880 knew about it.

00:55:56.620 He had very specific

00:55:57.720 evidence of the father

00:56:00.380 knowing about at least

00:56:01.260 some of the business

00:56:01.960 deals, which Joe Biden

00:56:04.620 continues to deny, as

00:56:07.280 Turley points out.

00:56:08.480 And what Turley was

00:56:11.700 mocking Goldman for

00:56:12.980 was, you know, you

00:56:15.460 probably know this, the

00:56:16.400 lawyer kind of code or

00:56:19.320 rule is that you never

00:56:20.460 ask a question in court

00:56:21.860 if you don't know the

00:56:23.340 answer.

00:56:24.260 Have you heard that?

00:56:25.420 It's like the number one

00:56:26.400 rule of being a lawyer.

00:56:28.620 Don't ask that question if

00:56:29.960 you don't know what the

00:56:30.680 answer's going to be.

00:56:31.820 Because he asked the

00:56:32.740 question thinking it would

00:56:33.600 go his way, and it turned

00:56:35.360 down to be the most

00:56:36.480 damning thing for Joe

00:56:37.920 Biden in the history of

00:56:39.420 the Republic.

00:56:40.900 For the first time, a

00:56:43.560 witness under oath, who

00:56:46.100 was an eyewitness and had

00:56:47.800 other people watching, who

00:56:49.120 agree, said that Joe

00:56:51.380 Biden lied, and he was

00:56:53.120 aware of these dealings.

00:56:54.740 It's like the biggest

00:56:55.420 thing in the world, and

00:56:56.980 Representative Goldman is

00:56:58.700 the one who surfaced it,

00:57:00.400 and he was trying to hide

00:57:02.040 it.

00:57:02.680 So the guy trying to hide

00:57:03.700 it is the one who surfaced

00:57:04.680 it and probably blew the

00:57:05.700 water.

00:57:06.700 So Jonathan Turley, at the

00:57:09.640 end of his thread, he's

00:57:10.560 talking about this.

00:57:11.980 He puts a picture of

00:57:13.260 Dresden.

00:57:15.680 Now, Dresden after World 0.90

00:57:18.580 War II.

00:57:21.160 Now, if you don't know the

00:57:22.340 reference, of course, this

00:57:23.880 isn't funny, but Dresden was 0.92

00:57:26.140 a German city that was

00:57:27.280 firebombed into complete

00:57:29.040 ruination.

00:57:29.840 It was just burned until it

00:57:31.920 was just rubble, the whole

00:57:33.140 city.

00:57:34.460 And that was Turley's

00:57:38.920 interpretation of the

00:57:40.300 Democrats' case, that

00:57:43.260 Goldman had turned their own

00:57:44.760 case into Dresden.

00:57:47.400 It was good writing.

00:57:49.060 So good writing, good

00:57:50.480 imagery.

00:57:52.140 I love Turley.

00:57:54.420 All right, Apple says they're

00:57:55.420 coming out with their own

00:57:56.220 AI.

00:57:59.180 No surprise.

00:58:01.280 One could assume that they're a

00:58:02.680 little late, but they're

00:58:03.820 Apple.

00:58:04.720 So, you know, Apple can hire the

00:58:06.360 best and catch up pretty

00:58:08.940 quickly, I would think.

00:58:09.820 But what do you think about the

00:58:12.640 fact that this would be, in my

00:58:14.120 opinion, the first big thing

00:58:16.220 since Jobs?

00:58:18.420 There was the Apple Watch, and I

00:58:20.520 guess that's successful, but it's

00:58:22.120 not like, you know, it's not like

00:58:23.700 iPhone's successful, but it's

00:58:25.860 successful.

00:58:27.140 So that was the best they've done

00:58:28.620 since Jobs is the watch.

00:58:32.460 But now they're going to do AI.

00:58:35.600 Don't you think AI would disrupt

00:58:37.540 their entire business model?

00:58:40.000 Like, I don't even know if the

00:58:41.020 App Store makes sense, if you

00:58:42.620 have AI, if it's the right kind.

00:58:44.800 So, I think this is such a big

00:58:48.500 moment for Apple that I don't

00:58:51.920 know if they have the right

00:58:52.800 people there, but we'll find

00:58:54.560 out.

00:58:55.620 I mean, Jobs picked Tim Cook.

00:58:58.280 So, I mean, Jobs picked him, so

00:59:00.220 he must know something that I

00:59:01.280 don't know.

00:59:02.080 But we'll see if Apple can pull

00:59:04.980 off turning AI into

00:59:07.460 something that you all want

00:59:08.760 without destroying their own

00:59:10.600 company.

00:59:12.460 Because it looks like it would

00:59:13.520 cannibalize the iPhone, but I

00:59:14.980 don't know.

00:59:16.220 And when I say that, I mean that

00:59:17.740 the whole iPhone ecosystem is

00:59:20.640 that third parties make apps, and

00:59:22.880 you buy the apps and use them on

00:59:24.220 the phone.

00:59:24.940 But I think AI is going to make

00:59:26.560 apps no longer necessary.

00:59:30.380 Because in theory, you could just

00:59:31.740 tell your AI to become any app you

00:59:33.720 wanted.

00:59:34.520 It would just become it on the

00:59:36.000 fly.

00:59:36.560 It could code itself into that

00:59:38.260 app.

00:59:40.700 The things it couldn't do is maybe

00:59:42.840 do a dating app, because that's

00:59:44.660 more about the network effect.

00:59:46.240 So there might be some network

00:59:47.280 effects it can't copy.

00:59:49.000 But it could, if you didn't have an

00:59:51.200 app on your phone for math, you

00:59:53.760 didn't have a calculator, you could

00:59:55.700 just say to the AI, all right, give

00:59:57.720 me a calculator.

00:59:59.280 And it codes it and presents it on

01:00:01.300 screen just because you wanted it.

01:00:03.560 Because that would be like an easy

01:00:05.940 thing to code in real time.

01:00:07.740 So it would just appear, but there

01:00:09.280 would be no app.

01:00:10.960 Likewise, if you wanted to do a

01:00:12.200 spreadsheet, you just say, all right,

01:00:15.660 do my budget.

01:00:18.220 And a spreadsheet would appear, but it

01:00:20.580 would have no app for a spreadsheet.

01:00:22.400 It would just know that that's what

01:00:23.540 you wanted.

01:00:24.260 It would sort of code it on the fly

01:00:25.820 and keep it live.

01:00:27.000 So for anything that doesn't have a

01:00:29.680 network effect, you know, say

01:00:31.400 LinkedIn, something like that, I

01:00:33.340 would think those apps will just go

01:00:34.580 away.

01:00:36.760 So what's that due to their whole

01:00:38.000 business model?

01:00:40.180 I don't know.

01:00:41.280 So that's the sort of thing I think

01:00:42.560 Steve Jobs might have a chance of

01:00:44.440 figuring out, but maybe an Apple

01:00:47.320 corporate, you know, just keeping the

01:00:49.940 model moving kind of people, maybe

01:00:52.200 not the right people, but we'll find

01:00:54.180 out.

01:00:54.400 Now, I'm, for the longest time, I've

01:00:57.720 been confused as to why the S-I-R-I

01:01:01.820 product on the iPhone, and I'm

01:01:04.600 spelling it so I don't trigger your

01:01:06.200 phones, I've been wondering why it's

01:01:08.680 so bad.

01:01:10.780 Like, it's really bad.

01:01:14.080 I've been barely, the only thing I

01:01:16.060 can use it for successfully is

01:01:17.980 setting my alarm.

01:01:20.700 Over time, I used to try to use it a

01:01:22.760 lot because I thought, you know,

01:01:24.400 I'd get the hang of it, and it would

01:01:26.260 maybe understand me better, or I would

01:01:29.040 give the better commands, and it would

01:01:30.520 just get better over time, but it got

01:01:32.340 worse.

01:01:33.840 I got to the point where the only thing

01:01:35.680 I'm willing to do is set my alarm or my

01:01:37.540 timer, basically.

01:01:38.680 That's it.

01:01:39.300 Everything else, I assume it's going to

01:01:40.640 take 15 tries, and it's not going to

01:01:42.760 understand me.

01:01:44.240 You ever try sending a voice text?

01:01:47.860 It's just a nightmare, because there's

01:01:52.020 writing stuff that you didn't want it

01:01:53.360 to write, and then you're like, oh, God,

01:01:54.920 what do I do?

01:01:57.760 Yeah, timer, that's about it.

01:01:59.220 All right, ladies and gentlemen, that

01:02:04.820 concludes my amazing presentation for the

01:02:08.720 day.

01:02:09.340 Best live stream you've ever seen in your

01:02:11.000 whole life.

01:02:11.600 Everybody's saying it.

01:02:13.080 Everybody's saying it.

01:02:14.540 Is there anything I missed?

01:02:17.120 Proposed UAP disclosure?

01:02:18.760 I have no interest in the UFO stuff, because

01:02:23.300 it's not real.

01:02:25.380 So, no, I'm not interested in a new

01:02:27.640 hearing about a thing that isn't real.

01:02:31.820 Photographs?

01:02:33.420 Or it's not real.

01:02:35.140 Don't give me your grainy photographs of

01:02:37.160 a tic-tac and a fly on your camera.

01:02:41.240 No, don't care.

01:02:44.880 All right, use AI to resurrect Steve

01:02:47.740 Chops.

01:02:49.180 That would be funny.

01:02:53.320 RFK is testifying on C-SPAN.

01:02:55.840 About what?

01:02:56.720 Big pharma?

01:03:01.420 Oh, threads.

01:03:03.520 Have you spent any time on threads?

01:03:07.600 How many of you, let me ask it this way.

01:03:10.520 How many of you are using threads more

01:03:14.280 today than you were last week?

01:03:16.500 So, if you're using it, is there

01:03:18.960 anybody who's using it more today

01:03:20.820 than last week?

01:03:25.780 I stopped even thinking I have it.

01:03:28.740 I actually forgot I had it.

01:03:31.320 It's completely

01:03:32.240 completely off my radar.

01:03:36.740 I thought about using it just to promote

01:03:40.180 things on Twitter, but I don't have

01:03:42.440 enough followers, so there's no point in

01:03:43.900 doing that either.

01:03:45.160 The one thing I thought I might use it for,

01:03:47.080 just promoting my other things, it's not

01:03:49.280 even that.

01:03:51.100 Oh, I knew what I was going to do.

01:03:54.200 All right, I just want to be a jerk.

01:03:56.520 For entertainment purposes.

01:03:59.980 All right, I'm going to open threads.

01:04:02.740 Now, I told you that when I brought over the

01:04:04.460 people I follow from Instagram, I did not get

01:04:08.680 the Illuminati, but rather I got people who

01:04:11.860 look good in pictures.

01:04:13.240 But then they came over here and they started

01:04:15.260 tweeting.

01:04:15.620 So I'm going to read you some of the

01:04:21.800 insightful tweets.

01:04:24.980 All right, here's one.

01:04:26.040 So here's the kind of thinker I was bringing

01:04:29.260 over from Instagram.

01:04:31.320 I won't tell you who, it's just some

01:04:33.520 attractive person.

01:04:35.660 Here's a Threads post.

01:04:38.600 Fun fact, I love riding bikes.

01:04:41.540 What's a hobby you love to do?

01:04:45.620 So I'm glad I signed up for Threads because

01:04:47.760 I would have missed that one.

01:04:48.780 I would have missed that one.

01:04:49.440 But there are others.

01:04:51.840 Actually, Jordan Peterson's tweeting there,

01:04:53.840 so some of these actually make sense.

01:04:57.520 Or here's another one from one of the

01:04:59.840 influencers from Instagram over on Threads.

01:05:02.900 When in doubt, eat chicken and rice.

01:05:07.400 Okay.

01:05:08.600 When in doubt, eat chicken and rice.

01:05:10.360 That's a good post.

01:05:11.700 Here's another one.

01:05:12.460 Straight from the airport to the gym,

01:05:17.080 just hitting the essentials today to tackle

01:05:19.220 the full leg day after this week.

01:05:21.180 Well, you know, I woke up this morning and I

01:05:22.780 was wondering about this influencer's leg day.

01:05:25.720 I was like, what day of the week is leg day?

01:05:28.940 And do you do it on the way back from the

01:05:31.220 airport?

01:05:33.520 This is Threads.

01:05:35.760 That's Threads.

01:05:37.100 Now, does anybody have the same experience?

01:05:38.640 You go to Threads and it's just influencers who

01:05:41.760 can't make sentences?

01:05:44.800 All right.

01:05:45.000 Now, I'm going to do the same thing.

01:05:47.060 I'm going to go to Twitter.

01:05:50.960 This will be a biased presentation.

01:05:54.500 All right.

01:05:54.740 So I'm just going to pick just a random tweet.

01:05:57.640 All right.

01:05:58.580 I'll just pick a random tweet on Twitter.

01:06:00.380 Um, AI progress doesn't sleep at night.

01:06:06.540 New information about state-of-the-art speech

01:06:08.780 recognition.

01:06:10.500 Um, something about Ron DeSantis, you know,

01:06:15.260 blah, blah, blah.

01:06:15.900 It was good stuff.

01:06:17.180 Uh, something about the century and records of,

01:06:21.680 you know, heat records.

01:06:23.300 Basically, it's all fun stuff.

01:06:26.000 It's all like really smart people saying really

01:06:29.620 smart stuff all day long on Twitter.

01:06:32.620 And I go to Threads.

01:06:33.920 It's just, it's, it's all your C-plus students

01:06:37.360 who have been forced to write things

01:06:39.900 and they're not happy about it.

01:06:42.580 That's what it feels like.

01:06:43.720 It feels like Threads is all the C-plus students.

01:06:48.040 Uh, what?

01:06:52.700 Do you see his union station is empty?

01:06:54.700 Okay.

01:06:59.620 That can't be real.

01:07:05.640 That doesn't feel real.

01:07:07.240 I don't know what that's about.

01:07:08.960 All right.

01:07:10.280 Um, that's all I got for you today.

01:07:13.100 And I will go, um,

01:07:16.320 would you trust a picture of a, uh, UFO

01:07:18.640 if somebody said they saw it?

01:07:20.360 No.

01:07:22.000 No.

01:07:23.280 No, I wouldn't.

01:07:24.740 All right.
