Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2179 Scott Adams： Is The American Incompetence Crisis Caused By Women Dominating Policy？

00:00:00.000 Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo. 0.99

00:00:04.960 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:10.400 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and would you like to take this experience up to levels

00:00:17.840 that even astrophysicists cannot imagine because the universe is too big?

00:00:23.940 That didn't even make any sense, but it won't matter to the simultaneous sip.

00:00:27.420 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chelsea, a candy, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:34.120 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:36.760 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day.

00:00:39.760 I think it makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go.

00:00:46.060 Oh, that was perfect.

00:00:48.620 Pretty sure I nailed it, and that's a good sign for the rest of the day.

00:00:51.900 Okay. How many of you have ever heard of something called aphantasia?

00:00:59.360 It's the ability to see things in your mind.

00:01:03.800 I didn't know that people were all over the map on that.

00:01:06.960 And apparently people don't, there are some people who don't think in images.

00:01:11.520 I don't even know what to think about that, because I only do.

00:01:15.160 And apparently the test, I was just seeing this on Wikipedia or someplace,

00:01:19.240 is if I told you to imagine an apple, and then I said,

00:01:24.720 describe to me what you see in your mind,

00:01:27.560 apparently there's a wide range of how clearly people see the apple.

00:01:33.020 Now, I'm a sort of an artist.

00:01:37.520 I'm sort of an artist by profession.

00:01:41.720 And I can tell you that I can see the apple as clearly as a photograph.

00:01:47.680 How many of you would say that?

00:01:50.120 If I imagine it, it's just like a photograph.

00:01:54.140 I can see all the details.

00:01:55.720 I can rotate it.

00:01:57.280 I can change its color.

00:01:59.340 Just like a photograph.

00:02:00.920 Now, how many of you would say the opposite?

00:02:03.960 And I think it might be like just 5% of people or less, or fewer.

00:02:09.780 How many of you would say you can't see the apple at all?

00:02:12.080 Is there some who say you can't see it at all?

00:02:17.060 It's just sort of a concept of an apple, but you don't actually see it?

00:02:20.720 So we have some, right?

00:02:22.300 Yeah, there's some people saying that that applies to them too.

00:02:24.620 You know, I don't think there could be a better example of understanding how differently people are experiencing their reality.

00:02:34.300 I honestly don't even have a way to imagine what it would be like if your imagination didn't reproduce things as well as the real world.

00:02:46.100 I don't even know what it would feel like.

00:02:48.840 I have no way to even visualize it.

00:02:51.120 Well, I can't imagine it.

00:02:53.480 I suppose if it were visual, I could visualize it.

00:02:55.620 So one of the secrets about why I can draw, you know, let's say a new object, is that I'm tracing it.

00:03:05.660 It's actually tracing.

00:03:08.500 I know you hate me because that makes it sound too easy, but I see it first, and then I just put the lines are where I see it.

00:03:16.240 Now, if you can't do that, and apparently there are a number of you who can't, how would you ever learn to draw?

00:03:22.260 It feels like if you tried to draw, it would be like stick figures and stuff, because the one in your mind, you wouldn't know what it looks like in the paper.

00:03:32.220 So I would guess, and when I see artists who can do photorealistic drawings, I think maybe they're even, you know, further than I am in terms of being able to see it.

00:03:43.720 Or actually, you know, they do more than seeing it.

00:03:46.880 It's like they're seeing it plus something else, plus what they're adding, I guess.

00:03:50.840 Now, here's another theory.

00:03:53.780 You know, affirmations, the idea of visualizing your goals.

00:03:58.340 I've had good luck, anecdotally, not scientifically speaking.

00:04:03.220 But anecdotally, it seems like when I can visualize what I want really clearly, the odds of it happening are so close to 100%.

00:04:11.880 And there are things that I tell myself I want, that even I have trouble visualizing.

00:04:18.720 It's more of a concept.

00:04:20.240 I don't get those.

00:04:22.200 But when I can see myself standing there, you know, I'm with a person, or I got a bag of money, or something I can really, really see, then it just seems to happen.

00:04:33.040 So that's one of the things I've been hypothesizing over a long time.

00:04:37.700 Is it possible that the more clearly you can imagine something for your visualizations and your attainment of your success, is it possible that actually determines whether you'll be successful?

00:04:50.480 That you can draw up a picture in your head, because my theory is that brains, that's one of the ways you program your brain, right?

00:05:00.940 If you think your brain is in charge of you, and you're just doing what your brain's telling you, you're lost.

00:05:06.720 You're just wandering around.

00:05:07.900 But you should be able to use the executive function of your brain to do something like visualization, which would be effectively reprogramming your brain to make it more effective.

00:05:19.700 So reality is pretty subjective, and maybe that's all that's happening here.

00:05:24.880 But it does seem to me that if you could visualize something clearly, the odds of it happening are pretty high.

00:05:33.240 All right.

00:05:34.780 Twitter has become X.

00:05:36.660 X. So now you're not sending tweets anymore, you're X-claiming.

00:05:43.640 Somebody sent that on Twitter.

00:05:45.700 If I remember to, I'd give them credit, but I don't remember who.

00:05:49.320 I don't think we're going to use that one.

00:05:50.800 We're not going to use that.

00:05:51.740 It's not going to be X-claiming.

00:05:53.540 I think it's still going to be tweeting.

00:05:55.080 What do you think?

00:05:56.840 I think this is Prince becoming the symbol, you know, the artist formerly known as Prince.

00:06:04.700 Because I'm going to do the thing formerly known as tweeting, and then eventually I'm going to stop.

00:06:11.200 I'm going to lose the formerly known as, and I'm just calling it tweeting again.

00:06:14.500 So I'm going to say, well, I was X-ing today, formerly known as tweeting, and then I'll start just saying formerly known as tweeting.

00:06:24.220 I'll drop the X, and then I'll drop the formerly known as tweeting, and I'll be right back to tweeting.

00:06:28.640 That's how I'm going to play it.

00:06:31.560 Anybody with me?

00:06:34.220 I'm not going to stop calling it tweeting.

00:06:37.000 And I'm pretty sure we can call it whatever we want.

00:06:40.600 We'll just make it so.

00:06:42.260 Make it so.

00:06:43.680 As they say in Star Trek.

00:06:45.700 All right, I got a context note on a tweet.

00:06:49.680 You know how Twitter will add community notes?

00:06:53.420 Are there two things?

00:06:54.620 Is there a community note and a context note, or are they really the same thing?

00:06:59.320 Does anybody know if that's two different things or one thing?

00:07:04.000 Let's see if anybody knows.

00:07:05.520 Because most of you haven't seen one or both, so how would you know?

00:07:09.500 It's the same thing?

00:07:10.360 Somebody says it's the same.

00:07:12.280 So let me just give you an idea how this worked.

00:07:16.220 I'm actually very happy with a community note, or maybe it's just reader added context notes.

00:07:22.040 I think it's working really well.

00:07:25.240 It's imperfect.

00:07:26.500 All things are imperfect.

00:07:27.900 But I'll give you an example.

00:07:29.420 So here's where I got a context note put on my tweet.

00:07:33.000 There was a clip of President Biden with an evil-looking grin on his face, subjectively speaking, according to me,

00:07:42.000 muttering that he would look into Elon Musk and Twitter to see if there were any crimes there.

00:07:48.660 Now, when I saw him muttering that he was going to look into Twitter to see if any crimes were there,

00:07:55.060 I said to myself, what?

00:07:58.460 Since when do you go looking for crimes?

00:08:01.740 That's the scariest thing.

00:08:03.060 So I tweeted something about it.

00:08:04.680 It sounded like the plot of a bad movie where there's an alternative America that's been taken over by a dictator.

00:08:12.400 Because listening to Biden say that he was going to look into Musk's purchase of Twitter just to see if there's anything wrong in terms of homeland security,

00:08:26.000 why would there be?

00:08:27.860 Why would there be a problem?

00:08:30.200 Like, what would make you even think you need to look?

00:08:32.880 And wouldn't that apply to every citizen?

00:08:34.660 Listen, you know, my neighbor, Bob, I'm not aware of any crimes he's committed.

00:08:41.300 But when I talked to him, I'm a little bit suspicious.

00:08:45.380 And I think maybe we should go, you know, overturn his finances and see if we got any crimes there.

00:08:50.320 Nobody would stand for that.

00:08:52.200 But there was the leader of the country standing there saying, basically, a dictator kind of a statement.

00:08:59.320 Now, the context note was that this was an old video.

00:09:06.060 Is that useful?

00:09:07.700 Was it useful to me to know that this happened around the time of the transaction?

00:09:12.300 It did not happen this week.

00:09:14.940 Is that a good community note?

00:09:16.940 I'd say yes.

00:09:18.400 I'd say yes.

00:09:19.340 Because that's good context.

00:09:21.420 You need to know when stuff happened to understand it in its fullness.

00:09:25.880 So, good note.

00:09:26.820 But it also went on to say that it was more about the question of the original buying of the company.

00:09:35.820 Now, that doesn't change my tweet.

00:09:38.480 Would you agree?

00:09:39.660 It doesn't invalidate my tweet.

00:09:41.860 It just, you know, takes a little edge off it, gives a little context.

00:09:45.320 I thought this was all good.

00:09:47.500 Would you agree?

00:09:48.880 This was nothing but good.

00:09:50.440 A good context.

00:09:52.060 You know, and the reason I'm bringing it up is because it happened to me.

00:09:55.980 Trust me.

00:09:56.620 If you get a context note, your first reaction will be negative.

00:10:02.140 And to that point, one of the things the context note lets you do if you're the tweeter, maybe everybody,

00:10:09.380 it lets you rate the context note.

00:10:12.400 So, the context note kind of rates you, but then you can rate the context note.

00:10:16.620 And my first reaction was, damn it.

00:10:20.340 And I, like I said, it was useless.

00:10:22.880 So, I gave it a useless grade.

00:10:25.140 And then I slept on it.

00:10:27.000 And I looked at it the next day.

00:10:28.700 And I thought, oh, maybe I was a little hasty.

00:10:34.820 Maybe that context note is 100% accurate and adds something to the understanding of the tweet.

00:10:41.780 Okay, damn it.

00:10:42.760 You're right.

00:10:43.200 So, I'm going to give you the win.

00:10:45.720 You get the win, Twitter, the company that formerly was known as Twitter.

00:10:51.640 All right.

00:10:54.100 Let's talk about the summer news.

00:10:56.460 I think summer news is so funny.

00:10:58.420 So, summer news usually is somebody misinterpreting a public figure and then pretending to be really angry about it.

00:11:07.160 And that's called summer news.

00:11:08.400 So, when Jason Aldean does his song and people say, we see some racist stuff in there that's totally not there, they go, ah, they get all theatrically upset about it.

00:11:22.560 But they're not really upset.

00:11:24.180 Literally nobody cares.

00:11:25.300 It's just summer news.

00:11:26.360 And, of course, you know, we've talked about Kamala Harris.

00:11:31.540 Now she's talking about the Florida, the school lessons for history.

00:11:38.740 And she believes that they're teaching kids that slavery had an upside.

00:11:47.620 There was something good about slavery. 0.97

00:11:49.940 Of course, that's not non-existent.

00:11:53.460 Right?

00:11:53.600 Of course, if you looked for it, it wouldn't be there.

00:11:56.380 But fake news.

00:11:57.820 So, they sent Kamala out to get angry about fake news. 0.99

00:12:04.060 Imagine if you had been elected the vice president of the United States.

00:12:08.280 And they're saying, okay, what valuable portfolio can we give you?

00:12:12.840 So, first they give you immigration, you know, the border control.

00:12:16.460 And you do absolutely nothing useful for a few years.

00:12:22.740 So, they're like, all right, all right, maybe that was just hard.

00:12:25.660 So, then AI is an existential threat to humanity, some say.

00:12:30.120 So, they give the AI portfolio to Harris.

00:12:34.180 And what did she do to make everything better?

00:12:37.300 Well, nothing.

00:12:38.460 Nothing.

00:12:38.740 So, I don't think there's any job you can give her that will result in some kind of positive outcome.

00:12:45.640 So, if you had an employee like that, you know, sort of a Wally employee, if you use the Dilbert analogy.

00:12:53.020 If you had a Wally employee, and time after time the projects don't get done, what do you do with them?

00:12:59.220 What's the next project you give them if you don't want to fire them or it's too much trouble?

00:13:06.220 You give them the least important, most bullshit job, something that only needs to be done so that people know it's being done,

00:13:16.040 but has no value to the world, has no possible benefit at all.

00:13:21.040 And that would be complaining about the Florida curriculum by imagining what it is,

00:13:28.340 and then getting really mad at what she imagined, what is not real.

00:13:34.800 And that's her current job.

00:13:37.620 Now, do you think she's going out and talking about this topic because that was a thing she came up with on her own? 0.94

00:13:43.840 Oh, I think this is where I'll put my time and energy.

00:13:47.580 I doubt it.

00:13:48.820 To me, it looks like an assignment.

00:13:51.040 How many of you would agree that her talking about this topic has to be certainly an assignment?

00:13:57.160 I don't think the vice presidents just go out on their own and pick a topic and start complaining about it.

00:14:02.780 Yeah.

00:14:03.580 She actually would...

00:14:04.840 Just think about this.

00:14:06.380 Do you believe that the people who assigned her the topic think that the topic is real?

00:14:12.020 Meaning that Florida is actually teaching kids, you know, Florida, that slavery wasn't all bad.

00:14:18.420 Do you think that's really happening?

00:14:20.260 Of course not.

00:14:21.040 No, there's nobody in the White House who believes it's real.

00:14:24.140 They actually assigned her an imaginary job.

00:14:30.160 Tell me that's not true.

00:14:32.660 Tell me that's not true.

00:14:35.320 Kamala Harris was intentionally assigned an imaginary job because she could not fulfill any real assignment. 1.00

00:14:43.840 They wallied her.

00:14:47.220 She's being wallied, right?

00:14:49.280 That's what the pointy-air boss does. 1.00

00:14:51.120 He doesn't want to go through the paperwork of firing Wally.

00:14:54.220 So he just gives him...

00:14:55.580 He usually lends him to another manager who asks for some resources.

00:15:00.460 You know, hey, could you maybe lend me an engineer for this project?

00:15:04.740 You know, somebody would sort of dotted line, report to me for a while, you know, but it'll just be a loan.

00:15:09.960 And the pointy-haired boss says,

00:15:11.360 Sure, you're not only my co-worker manager, but you're sort of my competitor in this company because if you get the promotion I can, so I'll be glad to help you because I'm a team player.

00:15:27.180 How about Wally?

00:15:30.660 You can have him as long as you want.

00:15:34.900 Yeah, so the wallification of the vice president continues.

00:15:39.460 I saw a tweet from somebody named Andi Petro.

00:15:46.280 He said, this is a great tweet.

00:15:48.600 All the imaginary people who think slavery was okay are the worst.

00:15:52.380 All the real people who think the imaginary people are real are the second worst.

00:15:59.860 Summer news.

00:16:01.820 You know, if anybody takes summer news seriously, you're falling into their trap.

00:16:07.260 When you see somebody complaining about any of this stuff, just say, summer news.

00:16:13.260 Can't wait for the real stuff.

00:16:15.560 All right, here's one of my...

00:16:16.760 There's a lot of funny news today.

00:16:18.700 I think it's all funny.

00:16:19.840 So NPR has a headline talking about the right-wing conspiracy about eating bugs.

00:16:30.360 So NPR is essentially demonizing the right part of the country for saying that the left part of the country is promoting the eating of bugs sometime soon for protein.

00:16:42.760 So while NPR is mocking the right-wing for imagining there's some conspiracy about eating bugs,

00:16:52.060 Stephen Miller, the company formerly known as Twitter, he tweeted...

00:16:59.580 Yes, I'm calling it tweeted.

00:17:02.280 He tweeted that...

00:17:03.760 He tweeted three headlines from NPR talking about the value of eating bugs.

00:17:09.760 So NPR is blaming the right-wing for starting this bug-eating conspiracy theory.

00:17:20.120 At the same time, NPR's own headlines, there's three of them recently, about the possible value of eating all the bugs.

00:17:26.840 And I think Stephen Miller asked if NPR reads NPR or listens to NPR.

00:17:34.680 Does NPR actually listen to NPR?

00:17:37.380 Or do they know not to?

00:17:39.540 Oh yeah, we produce content, but God knows we're not going to listen to it.

00:17:43.740 We don't want to get hypnotized.

00:17:44.920 So the clownishness of the world is the macro theme for our day.

00:17:55.400 So today's theme is American national incompetence.

00:18:00.940 How many of you would agree with the statement that there's an incompetence crisis in America?

00:18:06.800 How many of you would agree with that statement?

00:18:10.600 A competence crisis, basically.

00:18:13.940 You could call it incompetence crisis.

00:18:16.660 To me, it seems obvious.

00:18:18.820 And I'm going to talk about that more.

00:18:20.420 But notice how the stories are all going to have that quality.

00:18:23.900 We'll talk about the causes that's coming up.

00:18:26.460 But do you notice all the stories in the news?

00:18:29.580 They don't really look like something just went wrong.

00:18:33.280 They don't really look like we disagree on priorities.

00:18:38.380 It's not looking like a difference of priorities or preferences.

00:18:42.640 It doesn't look like there was a natural problem and people have solutions.

00:18:46.820 It doesn't look like that at all.

00:18:49.380 It looks like incompetence is the issue.

00:18:54.440 Let me say this in the cleanest way I can.

00:18:57.380 Do we have a problem with climate change?

00:19:00.840 Do we have a problem with inflation?

00:19:02.780 Do we have a problem with, let's say, the Ukraine war?

00:19:05.480 Well, on some level, you'd say yes.

00:19:08.620 But wait a minute.

00:19:10.340 Could there be one problem that caused all of those problems?

00:19:14.980 Yes.

00:19:15.760 And I don't mean it necessarily caused the war or caused climate change.

00:19:20.020 I mean that the way we deal with all of these topics has left the realm of anything sensible,

00:19:26.960 if ever we were there.

00:19:28.380 So we've upgraded to a realm of pure incompetence, where the incompetence itself becomes the topic.

00:19:35.940 So we're only talking about the incompetence.

00:19:38.460 We don't have anything going on that's talking about making the problems better.

00:19:42.940 We have an incompetence crisis, where we've replaced the topics with talking about our own incompetence,

00:19:52.540 because we don't even know how to get out of that loop.

00:19:54.740 We're in a little bubble of our own incompetence.

00:19:57.360 All right.

00:19:58.880 So Kamala Harris is obviously an example of an incompetence crisis. 0.99

00:20:03.820 Joe Biden is clearly an example of, I'll call it a competence crisis, clearly an example.

00:20:10.700 Do you know that we've got two candidates, the leading candidates, who may be running to stay in a jail, at least in part?

00:20:20.260 Right.

00:20:20.760 Now, as much as you might want Trump to be president,

00:20:25.300 has he ever done anything that might have technically violated some kind of law?

00:20:29.960 I don't know.

00:20:31.020 Maybe.

00:20:32.460 Probably.

00:20:32.900 Do they all do that as someone, when you reach a certain level, are they all violating technical laws?

00:20:39.180 I think so.

00:20:40.620 My guess would be they're all violating some technical law that nobody cares about.

00:20:45.960 But how is it that we've got three, I would say three hyper-capable candidates,

00:20:55.200 and they're fighting for second place in the primaries?

00:20:58.720 They're not even fighting for second place in the general.

00:21:00.980 So RFK Jr., clearly more qualified than Biden, by a lot, fighting for even to be on the ballot and be a second choice.

00:21:10.100 If you look at the Republican side, I think Trump is very capable.

00:21:16.380 He just causes people to lose their fucking shit.

00:21:20.100 If I had one problem with Trump, it's just that.

00:21:23.540 It just causes people to lose their shit.

00:21:25.240 So that's not a competence problem.

00:21:28.240 That's something that just comes with the whole program, I guess.

00:21:32.400 But you look at the capability of Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:21:36.380 Oh, my God, do I want that as the model for the future?

00:21:41.700 I just want somebody who's just killing it with competence, and everybody's watching, and your kids are watching.

00:21:48.880 They're like, did he really do that?

00:21:51.180 Did he just sit down and play concert piano level, and then he went off and played tennis at a college level,

00:21:59.260 and then he started startups, and now he's running for president and making a big dent in changing the world?

00:22:08.520 Is that all the same person?

00:22:10.640 It's all the same guy.

00:22:12.240 It's like one guy.

00:22:13.800 You don't think you want your kids to see that?

00:22:17.000 The talent stack concept brought alive?

00:22:19.980 I mean, he brings alive the talent stack idea that if you layer enough talents by working on those talents,

00:22:27.440 you can create something extraordinary from the sum of it.

00:22:31.920 Yeah, quite amazing.

00:22:33.740 And I'll say for the DeSantis lovers, highly capable, highly capable, very admirable.

00:22:40.920 You'd love to have a president who just demonstrated that level of skill.

00:22:45.920 You know, you could disagree about his preferences and his policies, and you might like somebody better,

00:22:52.500 but is anybody calling DeSantis incapable?

00:22:57.480 Nobody, right?

00:22:58.900 I don't believe there's a single person who says, oh, that DeSantis, he can't get anything done.

00:23:03.700 It's not even part of the question.

00:23:05.820 So we do have super capable people who are fighting to get out, right?

00:23:12.320 I would also say that in the category that I call the Internet Dads, which includes women,

00:23:19.060 I'm just, you know, sort of using it as a label.

00:23:21.900 But the Internet Dads are showing a level of capability that's just crazy, right?

00:23:29.320 You know, the Jordan Petersons, the David Sachs, the Elon Musks, Mike Cernoviches, you know, I could go on.

00:23:38.000 But you know who they are.

00:23:39.280 You know who the dads are.

00:23:40.540 And, you know, if you just read a week of Cernovich tweets, your IQ goes up like five points, right?

00:23:50.060 There are some super qualified people who are getting deeply into the, you know, the process.

00:23:57.660 It's just hard for them to break through past that top crust of incapable people.

00:24:04.140 Yeah, Tucker is another example, highly capable.

00:24:06.520 All right, let's talk more about this same topic through UFOs.

00:24:12.820 I saw Eric Weinstein had a tweet thread on the UFO mystery, I'll call it.

00:24:20.020 I thought he did a great job of summarizing the frustration of all the smart people.

00:24:25.900 So I'm just going to read one part of his thread, which was tremendous, and I recommend it.

00:24:33.760 Just because I think he just does a great job of just summarizing what's going on with the whole UFO mystery.

00:24:41.860 All right, but here he restated something I guess he said before.

00:24:45.460 He goes, I stand by my statement.

00:24:47.040 Something is wildly off, and then he gives you the options for what might be happening.

00:24:53.040 A, our pilots are crazy and or liars.

00:24:56.440 So the pilots who claim to see UFOs are either crazy or liars.

00:25:00.940 So as I go, see if any of these make sense to you.

00:25:04.980 B, there is a psyop gaslighting our own people.

00:25:09.600 You know, some kind of government plan to fool us.

00:25:11.660 C, we are too incompetent to call our own people.

00:25:18.100 Wait, we are too incompetent to call our own people.

00:25:21.700 Is that a typo or does that make sense to you?

00:25:24.600 We are too incompetent to call our own people?

00:25:31.600 I'm not sure what that one means.

00:25:33.760 It must be a typo.

00:25:36.820 D, there is a secret longstanding involvement of top scientists.

00:25:40.860 In other words, the top scientists, they know there's something going on,

00:25:45.280 but they're not telling you.

00:25:47.240 E, there are some crazy seagull and mylar balloon effects.

00:25:52.500 So there's just something up there, but it's not UFOs.

00:25:56.400 A cult of UFOs has infected the Pentagon.

00:26:00.640 So, you know, a mental problem.

00:26:02.900 Or China and others are taking over our airspace 0.99

00:26:08.560 and we're using UFOs as an excuse rather than dealing with a problem.

00:26:14.320 So we're telling the public that it's UFOs

00:26:17.360 when it's really Chinese technology or something.

00:26:20.840 And then he, I love his conclusion.

00:26:28.400 All right, so this is Eric Weinstein's conclusion of all this confusion.

00:26:34.020 He says, but this is so stupid to be this far in with so much bullshit.

00:26:40.980 Dot, dot, dot.

00:26:42.680 I'm embarrassed for us.

00:26:44.000 I'm with you, Eric.

00:26:48.640 Same page.

00:26:50.060 It's literally embarrassing.

00:26:52.340 Does anybody have that feeling?

00:26:54.520 Like, as an American, I'm literally embarrassed

00:26:56.860 that we can't work through this.

00:27:01.180 I mean, embarrassment, I would say I've removed it from my life

00:27:05.800 as anything that influences me.

00:27:08.080 I'm not bothered by any level of embarrassment.

00:27:10.960 And you shouldn't be either.

00:27:12.340 If you can learn to be free of embarrassment,

00:27:14.340 it's like a freaking superpower.

00:27:18.460 But you know what I'm saying.

00:27:20.540 It's just not a good look.

00:27:22.140 You know, it doesn't bother me to my core.

00:27:24.300 But, you know, I'm not proud of it.

00:27:26.220 Not proud of it.

00:27:27.400 I am not proud of being an American

00:27:29.060 based on this, you know.

00:27:32.340 I am proud of being an American,

00:27:34.140 but not based on this story.

00:27:35.120 So I want to add a few hypotheses to his list.

00:27:39.900 So he's got A through E, or G.

00:27:43.060 I didn't understand one of them.

00:27:44.180 I think it's a typo.

00:27:45.040 But I'll add my own take.

00:27:47.640 I think it's a combination of the following.

00:27:50.640 So it's not one of these things.

00:27:51.940 It's a combination of all these things.

00:27:53.940 Optical illusions.

00:27:55.320 We just see some things.

00:27:56.640 We didn't know what they were.

00:27:58.100 Tech malfunctions in our sensing equipment.

00:28:01.280 Or it might be just, you know,

00:28:03.900 a feature slash bug

00:28:05.220 that doesn't look like a malfunction.

00:28:08.160 Could it be confirmation bias?

00:28:10.280 You know, if you're expecting to see something,

00:28:12.000 you see it everywhere.

00:28:13.300 Could be some are hoaxters.

00:28:16.420 Some, not all.

00:28:17.740 But some of them might be just literally hoaxers.

00:28:21.440 Then there's your cognitive dissonance.

00:28:23.480 You've got your grifters.

00:28:24.640 You've got the effect of money

00:28:25.860 that, you know, distorts everything.

00:28:28.460 And then on top of that,

00:28:32.240 on top of the reality or non-reality of these UFOs,

00:28:36.200 separately but connected,

00:28:38.240 is the timing of when we learn about

00:28:40.600 alleged new stuff.

00:28:42.960 I believe the timing is strategic,

00:28:46.380 which is independent of whether there are any real UFOs.

00:28:50.440 That's a separate question.

00:28:51.860 But the timing of when the news stories about UFOs is,

00:28:54.860 that's probably political.

00:28:56.840 Not for sure.

00:28:58.460 But it seems like there's always something

00:29:00.980 that's embarrassing for Democrats

00:29:02.640 who are in power when it comes out.

00:29:06.080 But, you know, working against that theory

00:29:09.260 is that stuff came out

00:29:10.320 during the Trump administration, too.

00:29:12.840 And I don't recall that that was necessarily

00:29:15.360 timed to any bad Democrat news.

00:29:18.000 So I don't think the hypothesis

00:29:20.780 that it's always timed to cover up the news

00:29:24.060 works every time.

00:29:26.920 But could it have been done once?

00:29:29.620 You know, is there any one time

00:29:32.200 then somebody said, you know,

00:29:33.760 this would be a good time for this story?

00:29:37.100 Maybe.

00:29:38.060 So I do think that there's a possibility

00:29:40.080 that the media gives it more attention

00:29:42.600 when there's something that they don't want to talk about.

00:29:46.120 But that doesn't mean

00:29:47.980 they're necessarily doing it consciously.

00:29:50.480 Right?

00:29:51.180 If Fox News is talking about

00:29:53.000 all the bad behavior of the Democrats

00:29:54.780 and they've got five good stories,

00:29:56.840 you know, like Hunter's laptop

00:29:58.340 and, you know, new whistleblowers,

00:30:01.080 and they get all that,

00:30:01.900 and CNN kind of doesn't want to talk about it at all,

00:30:05.360 what do they have?

00:30:07.040 Right?

00:30:07.400 Better talk about UFOs

00:30:08.840 because you want to stay away from that stuff.

00:30:11.140 So I think it's a whole bunch of ordinary things.

00:30:14.940 I do not think any of the extraordinary explanations

00:30:18.140 are likely.

00:30:19.600 Right?

00:30:20.080 So listen to how many of

00:30:21.660 Eric Weinstein's potential,

00:30:25.420 you know, these are ways it could be explained.

00:30:27.880 How many of them are extraordinary?

00:30:30.600 All right?

00:30:30.900 So just see.

00:30:31.480 So I gave you a list of possibilities

00:30:33.900 that are all ordinary.

00:30:35.640 You know, technology bugs,

00:30:38.240 most ordinary thing in the world.

00:30:40.120 Confirmation bias,

00:30:41.420 that's so ordinary

00:30:42.300 it's the operating system of human beings.

00:30:44.940 That's the most ordinary thing.

00:30:46.960 You think it's there, but it's not.

00:30:49.420 Cognitive dissonance, all ordinary.

00:30:51.340 So everything on my list

00:30:52.460 would explain everything we're seeing,

00:30:54.280 hoaxers, grifters, money, media,

00:30:57.280 and it wouldn't require any extraordinary anything.

00:31:00.420 It wouldn't require any new introduction

00:31:03.320 of any new effects.

00:31:05.320 It would purely be explained

00:31:06.760 by all the ordinary stuff.

00:31:08.760 But look at Eric's list.

00:31:11.420 Are pilots are crazy or liars?

00:31:14.020 Well, if it were one or two pilots,

00:31:17.060 crazy or liars would be a pretty good hypothesis.

00:31:20.120 But it seems to be a lot of them.

00:31:22.980 Right?

00:31:23.880 Or at least enough that crazy and liar,

00:31:26.500 crazy and lying is probably ruled out.

00:31:28.760 That would be extraordinary.

00:31:29.800 There's a PSYOP gaslighting our own people.

00:31:32.940 Well, PSYOPs to gaslight us,

00:31:34.820 we know are common.

00:31:36.100 Would you agree?

00:31:37.420 It's common to have PSYOPs.

00:31:39.600 But I don't think that the government

00:31:42.020 would use UFOs for a PSYOP.

00:31:45.700 That would be extraordinary.

00:31:47.700 What would not be extraordinary

00:31:49.000 is to say there's a,

00:31:50.960 let's say, an anonymous source.

00:31:54.620 That wouldn't be extraordinary

00:31:56.000 because they do that all the time.

00:31:57.960 It wouldn't be extraordinary to say

00:31:59.880 there's a preprint study

00:32:01.680 that says you should shove masks up your ass 0.60

00:32:04.780 to stop cancer.

00:32:08.320 Right?

00:32:08.480 That's ordinary.

00:32:10.000 Like, lying in a preprint study,

00:32:12.380 that's just ordinary.

00:32:13.400 Or not being accurate.

00:32:15.840 How about we are too,

00:32:17.300 I don't know about the incompetent one.

00:32:19.440 That might be the typo.

00:32:20.940 All right.

00:32:21.100 There's a secret, long-standing involvement

00:32:22.980 of top scientists.

00:32:25.200 And no top scientist has talked.

00:32:29.120 Well, that would be extraordinary.

00:32:31.440 Right?

00:32:31.960 Not likely.

00:32:35.260 There are crazy seagulls

00:32:36.880 and mylar balloon effects.

00:32:38.660 Well, that actually gets to

00:32:40.560 what I was saying,

00:32:41.720 that there might be just a technical glitch

00:32:43.700 or optical illusion.

00:32:46.580 Right?

00:32:46.680 So I think that one's more

00:32:47.880 in the ordinary category.

00:32:50.100 Or there's a cult of UFOs

00:32:51.380 that's infected the Pentagon.

00:32:52.760 I think that's confirmation bias.

00:32:54.600 And the fact that UFOs are fun

00:32:56.580 and everything else is less fun.

00:32:59.520 If you're working in the Pentagon,

00:33:01.960 name one topic that's more fun

00:33:03.680 than talking about UFOs.

00:33:06.820 Well, we've got to find in

00:33:07.940 if there's illegal chemical weapons.

00:33:11.760 Ugh.

00:33:13.420 UFOs?

00:33:14.080 Ah.

00:33:15.280 UFOs.

00:33:15.760 So you'd expect

00:33:17.400 that people chase fun.

00:33:19.840 So they like it.

00:33:20.920 So of course there's people

00:33:21.760 in the UFOs

00:33:22.340 who are in the military

00:33:23.980 who want to talk about UFOs.

00:33:25.500 UFOs are fun.

00:33:28.680 All right.

00:33:29.100 China is...

00:33:29.860 And I don't think it's likely

00:33:31.320 that China is taking over

00:33:32.860 our airspace

00:33:33.480 with their advanced machines

00:33:35.740 and we don't know the difference

00:33:36.980 or we don't want to talk about it.

00:33:38.880 So...

00:33:39.540 So my theory is

00:33:41.660 it's ordinary.

00:33:43.440 That the UFO thing is ordinary.

00:33:45.120 Let me tell you why I think

00:33:46.960 it's ordinary

00:33:47.560 beyond the fact that

00:33:49.320 all of the elements

00:33:50.140 to make it happen

00:33:50.940 are ordinary.

00:33:53.120 The history of humankind

00:33:55.100 is one hoax after another

00:33:57.700 like this.

00:33:59.140 You know that, right?

00:34:01.660 There's never been a time

00:34:03.240 in human history

00:34:04.020 where there were not

00:34:05.320 multiple hoaxes

00:34:07.760 that had multiple people

00:34:09.680 saying they were true.

00:34:10.460 My favorite one

00:34:13.260 is...

00:34:14.520 Was it earlier

00:34:15.180 in the 20th century?

00:34:17.280 When there were

00:34:18.200 all these hoaxes

00:34:18.960 about giant bones.

00:34:21.380 Right?

00:34:21.560 They were finding

00:34:22.140 skeletons of giant bones.

00:34:24.680 And there were a lot of them.

00:34:26.640 If you just went by

00:34:27.620 how many there were

00:34:28.620 and you went by

00:34:30.080 how many people told you

00:34:31.160 they saw it

00:34:31.620 with their own eyes

00:34:32.460 and you went by

00:34:33.580 the media reports

00:34:34.520 that they were true

00:34:35.360 and you talked to

00:34:36.520 the scientist

00:34:37.040 who said,

00:34:37.560 oh yeah, I saw it.

00:34:39.120 You would think

00:34:39.980 that was pretty true.

00:34:41.660 Zero of them were true.

00:34:43.880 Zero.

00:34:44.840 It was just like

00:34:45.500 widespread giant bones

00:34:47.760 all over the place.

00:34:49.220 But we don't have any.

00:34:51.300 The Smithsonian

00:34:51.940 has zero giant bones.

00:34:54.860 Now,

00:34:55.720 how different

00:34:56.640 is the giant bones

00:34:58.120 hoaxes

00:34:59.880 than the UFO story?

00:35:03.080 What part

00:35:04.140 of the giant bones

00:35:05.480 hoaxes

00:35:06.120 is not 100%

00:35:07.740 common

00:35:08.320 to the story

00:35:10.420 about the UFOs?

00:35:11.800 Yeah,

00:35:12.140 we have better technology

00:35:13.300 but does it matter

00:35:15.440 if you have

00:35:15.940 good technology

00:35:16.740 if, you know,

00:35:18.580 you're seeing

00:35:19.140 a tic-tac

00:35:20.420 and you think

00:35:20.880 it's a UFO?

00:35:22.260 You know,

00:35:22.580 the humans

00:35:23.000 are doing

00:35:23.340 the interpreting.

00:35:25.960 Now,

00:35:26.500 the giant bones

00:35:27.600 hoax period

00:35:28.680 lasted many years

00:35:29.920 just like the UFOs.

00:35:31.000 Now,

00:35:35.120 you also know,

00:35:36.960 I'm not going

00:35:37.780 to name names,

00:35:39.320 but there are,

00:35:41.000 there have been

00:35:41.460 some modern religions,

00:35:43.460 not going to name

00:35:44.120 any names,

00:35:45.600 that seem to have

00:35:47.020 lots of people

00:35:47.700 who are direct witnesses

00:35:49.240 and they all saw it

00:35:50.220 and, you know,

00:35:51.240 hundreds,

00:35:51.960 maybe millions

00:35:53.020 of people

00:35:53.540 joined something

00:35:55.900 that was born

00:35:57.500 just a few hundred

00:35:58.200 years ago.

00:35:58.720 people massively

00:36:03.140 believing in something

00:36:04.200 that isn't true,

00:36:05.740 including believing

00:36:06.780 they saw it

00:36:07.360 with their own eyes,

00:36:08.220 they heard it,

00:36:09.120 they experienced it,

00:36:10.400 is very common.

00:36:12.940 So if you're asking

00:36:13.700 yourself what's common

00:36:15.040 and what's uncommon,

00:36:17.220 a gigantic hoax

00:36:18.800 about UFOs

00:36:20.300 that last for years

00:36:21.420 has hundreds

00:36:22.600 of direct eyewitnesses

00:36:24.020 that feel credible,

00:36:25.460 has actually technology

00:36:27.940 like radar

00:36:28.700 that seems to be

00:36:29.680 recording it,

00:36:30.880 has every sign

00:36:32.180 for being real

00:36:32.940 and even the media

00:36:34.680 suggests it's real,

00:36:36.500 none of that

00:36:37.020 has any validity.

00:36:38.980 We have a long history

00:36:40.440 of none of that

00:36:41.280 ever mattering

00:36:42.140 to anything.

00:36:43.600 It's just a hoax.

00:36:46.040 Now,

00:36:46.640 could I be wrong?

00:36:48.040 I hope so.

00:36:49.080 Wouldn't that be cool?

00:36:50.620 I'd love it to,

00:36:51.420 you know,

00:36:51.860 well,

00:36:52.140 unless they're here

00:36:52.640 to kill us. 0.76

00:36:53.980 But I would say

00:36:55.780 if you're doing

00:36:58.160 the Carl Sagan analysis,

00:37:00.680 the Carl Sagan analysis

00:37:02.220 is this looks like

00:37:03.520 every other hoax.

00:37:05.560 Why would it be different?

00:37:07.980 This is the extraordinary one?

00:37:11.020 Maybe.

00:37:12.540 But I would say

00:37:13.380 if you're going to put odds

00:37:14.640 on UFOs being real,

00:37:16.300 I'd say 100 to 1 against it.

00:37:19.200 100 to 1 against it.

00:37:20.460 Based on the fact

00:37:21.640 that it looks exactly

00:37:22.520 like every other hoax

00:37:23.620 through modern history.

00:37:24.840 They're all the same.

00:37:26.460 They don't look different.

00:37:28.340 You know,

00:37:28.740 so I asked this question

00:37:29.800 on the service

00:37:33.500 formerly known as Twitter.

00:37:35.820 So I said,

00:37:36.660 if you wanted to figure out,

00:37:38.140 let's say,

00:37:39.620 the truth about climate change,

00:37:42.040 the truth about climate change,

00:37:44.660 and you had a choice,

00:37:46.060 you could only talk

00:37:47.100 to scientists,

00:37:48.160 just scientists,

00:37:51.020 or experts

00:37:52.400 on the history

00:37:54.080 of hoaxes,

00:37:56.460 experts on the history

00:37:57.820 of media hoaxes,

00:37:59.220 especially.

00:38:00.340 Who would give you

00:38:01.500 a more useful answer?

00:38:03.820 The scientists

00:38:04.640 or the people

00:38:06.320 who know what hoaxes

00:38:07.980 look like

00:38:08.640 through history?

00:38:11.160 Well, I think

00:38:12.020 three-quarters of the people

00:38:13.060 who answered that,

00:38:14.060 of course,

00:38:14.420 were biased in their answers,

00:38:15.560 so they said

00:38:16.200 the media hoaxers.

00:38:18.720 And I think that's true.

00:38:20.640 I think climate change

00:38:21.920 is so perfectly

00:38:24.020 like a dozen other hoaxes.

00:38:27.460 Now, when I say hoax,

00:38:29.100 I don't mean that

00:38:29.820 there's nothing true about it.

00:38:32.060 Let me be clear.

00:38:33.560 I think the basic idea

00:38:35.240 that if all else

00:38:36.800 was equal

00:38:37.320 and you added some CO2

00:38:38.800 to a closed system,

00:38:40.900 it'd probably get warmer.

00:38:41.880 I believe that.

00:38:45.540 Do I believe that

00:38:47.200 climate change

00:38:50.020 is not a problem

00:38:50.840 because a million years ago

00:38:52.420 we had more CO2?

00:38:54.300 Does anybody think that?

00:38:55.820 That climate change

00:38:56.720 is not much of a problem

00:38:57.860 because a million years ago

00:38:59.360 we had more CO2?

00:39:02.820 Does that make sense to you?

00:39:04.920 Does that sound logical to you?

00:39:07.000 That a million years ago

00:39:08.080 there was more CO2

00:39:09.200 and the world was thriving,

00:39:10.580 therefore the current level

00:39:12.920 of CO2 is not dangerous.

00:39:14.720 You know that's not logical, right?

00:39:17.700 Even Thomas Massey

00:39:19.040 was making this case

00:39:20.080 and I was cringing

00:39:22.140 because Massey is sort of

00:39:24.440 my standard for good behavior.

00:39:27.500 He's like the standard

00:39:28.740 for a rational scientific approach

00:39:31.420 but I saw him actually

00:39:33.040 in a video arguing

00:39:34.220 that CO2 was much higher,

00:39:37.680 like a thousand parts per million

00:39:39.560 instead of 400

00:39:40.520 in the distant past.

00:39:43.240 Do you all know

00:39:44.120 what's wrong with that argument?

00:39:46.820 Now, John Kerry

00:39:47.980 tried to diffuse it

00:39:49.940 by saying yes,

00:39:50.640 but people weren't here.

00:39:52.660 You know, humans weren't here.

00:39:54.740 That's a terrible,

00:39:56.020 terrible defense.

00:39:57.580 Would you like to hear

00:39:58.200 the good argument

00:39:58.940 and the good defense?

00:40:01.740 Well, there's no good argument.

00:40:03.660 There's no good argument

00:40:04.920 that says a million years ago

00:40:06.340 the CO2 was higher.

00:40:07.900 Therefore, it's not a problem today.

00:40:10.120 There's no connecting logic to that.

00:40:12.760 Do you know why?

00:40:13.800 Because everything was different

00:40:15.340 a million years ago.

00:40:17.200 Right?

00:40:17.380 The brightness of the sun

00:40:18.580 was different.

00:40:19.640 The composition of the atmosphere

00:40:21.160 was different.

00:40:22.720 Everything was different.

00:40:24.400 So if everything's different,

00:40:26.440 a high level of CO2

00:40:27.700 may have been no problem at all.

00:40:30.360 Maybe it was no problem.

00:40:31.500 So John Kerry's correct answer

00:40:34.860 should have been

00:40:35.420 not there were no humans

00:40:37.700 because what is the obvious thing

00:40:39.460 you say to there were no humans?

00:40:41.660 We were teeming with life.

00:40:45.340 Life was all over the planet.

00:40:47.740 There was probably more life

00:40:49.000 on the planet then

00:40:50.120 than there is now

00:40:51.140 because of the extinction of species.

00:40:54.940 So it's a terrible charge.

00:40:58.360 You know, Massey's claim

00:41:00.820 that it's meaningful

00:41:01.980 that there was more CO2

00:41:03.380 in the distant past.

00:41:04.620 It is just not meaningful.

00:41:06.760 It is not.

00:41:08.080 Because all the other variables

00:41:09.340 were all so different.

00:41:10.820 So it may be that you needed

00:41:12.280 more CO2 in the past

00:41:13.920 because the sun wasn't as warm.

00:41:17.700 Right?

00:41:18.500 That would be a positive CO2

00:41:20.120 because it was keeping you warm

00:41:21.880 when the sun wasn't doing its job.

00:41:24.060 But, now this is just an example.

00:41:25.680 I'm not making a claim about the sun.

00:41:27.440 I'm using this as an example.

00:41:29.600 But suppose the sun

00:41:30.740 got a little warmer

00:41:31.460 in a million years.

00:41:33.100 Well, then you better not

00:41:34.400 have all that CO2.

00:41:36.640 Right?

00:41:37.780 So, the right answer is

00:41:40.060 all the other variables

00:41:41.020 were different.

00:41:41.760 You can't compare the past.

00:41:44.280 Why is it that neither of them

00:41:45.800 could get that right?

00:41:47.920 And let me check.

00:41:48.960 100% of you agree, right?

00:41:52.300 Have I convinced 100% of you

00:41:54.240 that I'm right about this?

00:41:55.700 I think I have.

00:41:56.440 It's easy.

00:41:57.440 I mean, the argument

00:41:58.440 is so plain and simple.

00:42:01.360 No?

00:42:02.600 All right, if you disagree,

00:42:04.360 give me one sentence

00:42:05.420 of disagreement.

00:42:06.380 Go.

00:42:07.520 The one sentence

00:42:08.720 why what I said is wrong.

00:42:11.260 Why is the CO2

00:42:12.820 from a million years ago

00:42:14.620 relevant?

00:42:17.180 Okay, you all got quiet

00:42:21.940 when I had to say

00:42:22.740 you all got quiet, didn't you?

00:42:25.560 Here's the best argument

00:42:27.620 I have for the other side.

00:42:30.180 This is the best one.

00:42:32.140 Quote,

00:42:32.820 you're vaccinated.

00:42:35.380 Oh, well.

00:42:35.980 And then there's always

00:42:41.200 somebody in the comments

00:42:42.060 who's blaming it

00:42:42.720 on the Jews.

00:42:44.500 I assume that's satire.

00:42:46.840 All right?

00:42:47.560 I'm going to give you

00:42:48.280 the benefit of a doubt.

00:42:50.000 The benefit of a doubt

00:42:51.040 that that was satire.

00:42:52.500 All right?

00:42:53.100 I don't want to say that shit

00:42:54.340 in the comments otherwise.

00:42:56.620 I don't want to say this

00:42:58.240 every day either.

00:42:59.620 All right?

00:42:59.920 Can you maybe not do

00:43:02.060 anti-Semitic things

00:43:03.100 in the comments?

00:43:04.520 Like maybe that's just not cool.

00:43:07.560 How about a lot less of that, huh?

00:43:10.400 So, you know,

00:43:12.020 free speech, fine.

00:43:13.760 But it doesn't belong everywhere.

00:43:19.120 It's not satire.

00:43:21.680 Let me take a break here.

00:43:23.560 Let me take a break.

00:43:27.060 So you've got a group

00:43:28.140 of people in the world.

00:43:29.920 Who everybody knows

00:43:31.260 are unusually successful.

00:43:35.440 Let's call them Elbonians. 1.00

00:43:37.660 And these Elbonians 0.99

00:43:38.640 are really good

00:43:39.420 at going to school

00:43:40.220 and getting advanced degrees.

00:43:42.320 And with their advanced degrees,

00:43:44.860 they have lots of opportunities,

00:43:46.640 especially at the higher levels

00:43:47.980 of business and society.

00:43:50.620 So they take their better degrees

00:43:52.660 and they start doing really well.

00:43:57.580 So well

00:43:58.420 that they look at

00:44:00.240 what would be the best industry

00:44:01.720 to be in

00:44:02.380 if you could be in any industry.

00:44:04.700 So these Elbonians 1.00

00:44:06.140 that I'm talking about

00:44:06.980 are so well trained,

00:44:08.940 they've got such good educations

00:44:10.440 that they could be in tech,

00:44:12.380 they could be in government,

00:44:14.020 they could be in media.

00:44:16.040 Really,

00:44:16.440 they could just call their shots.

00:44:17.960 And if you were in media,

00:44:21.260 you'd do well.

00:44:23.320 You might even be the boss

00:44:24.460 after a number of years

00:44:26.060 of having experience.

00:44:29.180 So once the Elbonians 0.94

00:44:30.720 just sort of worked through the system,

00:44:32.600 just being Elbonians,

00:44:35.340 eventually the Elbonians

00:44:37.060 look to be dominating

00:44:38.960 a lot of important industries.

00:44:40.480 Now why is it that

00:44:42.240 they dominate

00:44:42.900 the important industries?

00:44:45.220 And somebody would say

00:44:46.200 Hollywood too,

00:44:47.020 because that influences our minds.

00:44:49.020 Why are they all in the,

00:44:50.340 why are all these Elbonians 1.00

00:44:51.960 in the important industries?

00:44:53.980 And why do they have

00:44:54.620 all this power?

00:44:58.900 Because they went to school.

00:45:02.100 Would you like your family

00:45:03.460 to be captains of industry

00:45:05.180 and maybe head up

00:45:06.580 a media company someday?

00:45:07.480 How about sending them

00:45:09.860 to fucking school?

00:45:11.940 How about if you send

00:45:12.800 your kids to fucking school, 0.99

00:45:14.560 they can be the CEOs

00:45:15.920 of a media company too.

00:45:17.900 How about fucking

00:45:19.080 opening your head

00:45:20.220 and looking at

00:45:21.400 if there's a group of people

00:45:22.540 who are killing it

00:45:23.740 on education

00:45:25.180 and they become

00:45:26.840 your fucking boss,

00:45:28.400 maybe you should

00:45:29.280 look at yourself.

00:45:31.420 Maybe you should

00:45:32.100 check your work.

00:45:33.500 Right?

00:45:34.140 If you've got a boss

00:45:35.440 that's an Elbonian

00:45:36.460 because they all

00:45:37.560 went to fucking school

00:45:38.840 and it was their

00:45:39.740 biggest fucking priority

00:45:41.780 and it wasn't

00:45:44.140 your priority,

00:45:45.700 they should be

00:45:47.140 your boss.

00:45:48.760 You should work

00:45:49.440 for Elbonians.

00:45:50.880 The Elbonians 0.92

00:45:51.520 are going to run

00:45:52.060 your country,

00:45:52.940 they're going to run

00:45:53.420 your media,

00:45:54.020 they're going to run

00:45:54.420 your Hollywood,

00:45:55.620 they're going to run

00:45:56.220 your tech,

00:45:56.820 they're going to run

00:45:57.280 every fucking thing

00:45:58.380 that matters.

00:45:59.460 Why?

00:46:00.100 Because they went

00:46:00.820 to school.

00:46:01.480 school is making

00:46:06.580 me crazy,

00:46:07.820 right?

00:46:09.200 How is that

00:46:10.000 not obvious?

00:46:11.740 How is that

00:46:12.300 not fucking obvious?

00:46:15.800 Every one of you

00:46:16.980 anti-Semitic assholes, 0.87

00:46:18.920 you don't see that

00:46:20.760 going to school

00:46:21.740 is the main variable?

00:46:23.660 Can you not see that?

00:46:25.260 Seriously?

00:46:26.120 You can't see that

00:46:27.300 there's a correlation

00:46:28.040 between school

00:46:29.660 and success.

00:46:33.300 Right.

00:46:35.680 Am I the first person

00:46:37.060 to tell you that?

00:46:38.500 Like you've never

00:46:39.160 fucking heard that

00:46:39.960 before?

00:46:40.800 You never thought of it?

00:46:42.420 Didn't have that

00:46:43.040 thought yourself?

00:46:45.880 How about it doesn't

00:46:47.320 require any collusion

00:46:48.940 on behalf of Israel

00:46:50.300 for the people

00:46:51.560 who took schooling

00:46:52.920 as their top priority

00:46:54.380 and then executed?

00:46:56.540 Now, you're going

00:47:00.780 to say,

00:47:01.140 but, but, but,

00:47:01.760 Scott,

00:47:02.340 they might be

00:47:03.120 talking to each

00:47:03.820 other and preferring

00:47:05.100 their in-group

00:47:05.740 or something.

00:47:06.900 Yeah.

00:47:07.800 So what?

00:47:09.260 So what?

00:47:11.120 So what?

00:47:12.700 You want to be

00:47:13.880 on the in-group?

00:47:15.260 Go to school.

00:47:17.220 Send your kids

00:47:17.780 to school.

00:47:18.560 Make it a priority.

00:47:21.440 All right.

00:47:23.000 God, that bugs me.

00:47:24.040 All right.

00:47:25.560 Back to,

00:47:26.080 back to the main

00:47:26.860 topic here.

00:47:29.120 Do you think

00:47:29.880 that AI will

00:47:30.620 create work

00:47:31.420 for humans

00:47:32.280 or reduce work?

00:47:34.640 What's your,

00:47:35.400 what's your

00:47:37.220 best guess?

00:47:38.460 Will AI

00:47:39.040 create work?

00:47:43.760 I'm going to

00:47:44.340 make a prediction

00:47:45.000 that it's going

00:47:45.840 to be more like

00:47:46.760 when we said

00:47:48.100 computers,

00:47:48.880 we're going

00:47:49.140 to reduce paper.

00:47:50.860 Do you remember

00:47:51.260 that?

00:47:51.560 the 70s,

00:47:53.320 early 80s?

00:47:54.420 You know,

00:47:54.620 all these computers

00:47:55.400 are going to

00:47:55.800 reduce paper.

00:47:57.720 The current

00:47:58.580 market for

00:47:59.540 computer printers

00:48:00.560 is about

00:48:01.240 $50 billion.

00:48:04.800 I don't know.

00:48:05.680 I remember

00:48:06.580 when computers

00:48:07.160 came in,

00:48:07.700 the first big

00:48:08.300 change was

00:48:08.780 more paper.

00:48:11.060 Right?

00:48:11.880 Because you

00:48:12.240 had to print it

00:48:12.860 twice.

00:48:13.620 You know,

00:48:13.780 you may have

00:48:14.060 to make copies

00:48:14.740 and everything.

00:48:15.900 So there's a

00:48:16.540 story about,

00:48:17.560 at least in

00:48:18.460 some jobs,

00:48:19.160 there's one

00:48:19.980 group of people

00:48:20.660 who are looking

00:48:21.320 at their

00:48:23.120 vetting,

00:48:23.920 I guess you'd

00:48:24.580 say they're

00:48:25.180 examining articles

00:48:26.380 to see what

00:48:27.060 would be included

00:48:27.680 in their

00:48:28.060 publication.

00:48:29.140 And they got

00:48:29.800 a big problem

00:48:30.520 because it used

00:48:31.520 to be humans

00:48:32.240 would write

00:48:32.740 articles,

00:48:33.880 they would

00:48:34.220 submit them

00:48:34.760 to their

00:48:35.120 publication,

00:48:36.180 they would

00:48:36.480 look at them

00:48:36.880 and say,

00:48:37.180 oh,

00:48:37.380 okay,

00:48:37.640 and they'd

00:48:37.920 pick the

00:48:38.220 good ones.

00:48:39.440 Now,

00:48:40.020 the number

00:48:40.480 of articles

00:48:41.040 that are being

00:48:41.520 submitted

00:48:41.960 is shot

00:48:43.040 through the

00:48:43.420 roof because

00:48:44.400 they're being

00:48:44.720 written by

00:48:45.220 AI.

00:48:46.360 And AI

00:48:47.080 can't write

00:48:48.520 for shit.

00:48:49.000 So where

00:48:50.260 they used

00:48:50.600 to have

00:48:50.800 to look

00:48:51.080 at,

00:48:51.320 you know,

00:48:51.540 maybe I'll

00:48:52.160 just pick

00:48:52.500 up numbers,

00:48:53.420 I'm just

00:48:54.020 making this

00:48:54.500 up,

00:48:54.980 where you

00:48:55.280 might have

00:48:55.580 to look

00:48:55.860 at,

00:48:56.100 let's say,

00:48:56.420 a few dozen

00:48:57.200 human-written

00:48:58.960 articles,

00:48:59.960 now you've

00:49:00.740 got a thousand

00:49:01.540 articles that

00:49:02.240 have been

00:49:02.480 submitted,

00:49:03.860 written by

00:49:04.580 AI,

00:49:05.540 just with a

00:49:06.160 prompt,

00:49:06.860 so nobody

00:49:07.400 did any

00:49:07.700 work,

00:49:08.340 and they're

00:49:08.720 all bad.

00:49:09.720 So now

00:49:10.020 they have

00:49:10.300 to look

00:49:10.580 through a

00:49:11.000 thousand

00:49:11.440 to find

00:49:12.320 that one,

00:49:13.080 where they

00:49:13.420 used to

00:49:13.680 look through

00:49:14.020 a few dozen.

00:49:15.540 Now,

00:49:15.960 that's a

00:49:16.240 very specific

00:49:17.060 industry and

00:49:18.380 situation.

00:49:19.320 But I

00:49:19.960 feel like

00:49:20.460 there's

00:49:20.700 going to

00:49:20.860 be a

00:49:21.080 lot more

00:49:21.460 of that.

00:49:23.300 For

00:49:23.700 example,

00:49:24.860 if you

00:49:25.220 said to

00:49:25.580 me in

00:49:25.860 the pre-AI

00:49:26.620 world,

00:49:27.100 I'm in

00:49:27.320 my cubicle,

00:49:28.500 and the

00:49:28.980 boss comes

00:49:29.420 in and

00:49:29.760 says,

00:49:30.020 Scott,

00:49:30.680 I need

00:49:31.380 you to

00:49:31.680 do this

00:49:32.280 task.

00:49:33.960 Now,

00:49:34.460 in the

00:49:34.580 old days,

00:49:36.380 I would

00:49:36.680 have a

00:49:36.940 certain set

00:49:37.380 of tools,

00:49:37.960 and I'd

00:49:38.180 go work

00:49:38.560 on that

00:49:38.860 task,

00:49:39.760 and maybe

00:49:40.700 I wish

00:49:41.640 I had

00:49:41.940 AI,

00:49:42.700 because AI

00:49:43.180 would do

00:49:43.540 it better.

00:49:44.660 So that's

00:49:45.460 just the

00:49:46.360 old way,

00:49:46.780 I'd just

00:49:47.020 go work

00:49:47.380 on the

00:49:47.600 task.

00:49:47.960 What's

00:49:48.640 the new

00:49:48.980 way?

00:49:49.820 The new

00:49:50.260 way is if

00:49:50.980 I know

00:49:51.320 that there's

00:49:51.760 an AI that

00:49:52.480 could help

00:49:52.820 me, I'm

00:49:53.300 going to

00:49:53.420 have to

00:49:53.680 research it,

00:49:54.740 and I'm

00:49:55.060 going to

00:49:55.180 have to

00:49:55.420 learn it,

00:49:56.460 and the

00:49:57.080 way the

00:49:57.660 current

00:49:57.900 architecture is

00:49:58.680 you might

00:49:59.500 need two

00:49:59.980 or three

00:50:00.300 different

00:50:00.620 AIs.

00:50:01.580 For

00:50:02.060 example,

00:50:02.600 you might

00:50:02.940 need one

00:50:03.500 AI that

00:50:04.140 creates a

00:50:04.640 photograph

00:50:05.100 that doesn't

00:50:06.140 exist.

00:50:07.200 Use a

00:50:07.680 second AI

00:50:08.320 to animate

00:50:09.580 the photograph

00:50:10.340 into a

00:50:11.160 3D image.

00:50:12.840 You might

00:50:13.540 use a

00:50:14.060 third AI

00:50:14.700 to add

00:50:16.440 a script

00:50:17.280 like a

00:50:17.800 movie script

00:50:18.400 to animate

00:50:19.760 it into an

00:50:20.600 actual movie.

00:50:21.860 You might

00:50:22.340 use another

00:50:22.920 app to

00:50:24.180 clean up the

00:50:24.940 lighting and

00:50:25.600 fix the

00:50:26.040 sound.

00:50:26.380 So you

00:50:27.520 could end

00:50:27.880 up with,

00:50:28.440 you know,

00:50:28.660 it might

00:50:28.920 take you

00:50:29.320 a dozen

00:50:29.880 AI apps

00:50:30.920 to do a

00:50:32.400 thing.

00:50:33.540 Now,

00:50:34.120 people might

00:50:34.560 be impressed

00:50:35.000 by your

00:50:35.280 thing.

00:50:36.240 It might

00:50:36.820 be great

00:50:37.180 that you

00:50:37.400 did the

00:50:37.680 thing.

00:50:39.180 But all

00:50:39.880 of your

00:50:40.120 normal work,

00:50:41.000 you're going

00:50:41.300 to have to

00:50:41.640 pause and

00:50:42.620 do a deep

00:50:43.220 dive into

00:50:43.780 what AI

00:50:44.260 can do and

00:50:45.040 completely

00:50:45.520 re-architect

00:50:46.960 your business

00:50:48.020 process to

00:50:49.560 do the

00:50:49.900 thing.

00:50:50.620 You will

00:50:51.140 spend as

00:50:51.580 much time

00:50:52.160 learning the

00:50:53.180 tools to

00:50:54.600 do the

00:50:54.940 thing as

00:50:56.160 it would

00:50:56.380 have taken

00:50:56.720 you just

00:50:57.120 to do it

00:50:57.480 the old

00:50:57.740 way,

00:50:58.800 blah,

00:50:59.040 blah.

00:50:59.380 Now,

00:50:59.800 I'm not

00:51:00.480 a troglodyte

00:51:01.620 who wants

00:51:02.140 to stay

00:51:02.780 with the

00:51:03.080 old ways.

00:51:03.960 I'm pro

00:51:04.500 AI.

00:51:05.340 Let's do

00:51:05.780 AI and the

00:51:06.960 market will

00:51:07.460 sort it

00:51:07.800 out.

00:51:08.540 But I

00:51:09.100 think it

00:51:09.440 is completely

00:51:10.300 optimistic to

00:51:12.880 imagine it's

00:51:13.560 not going to

00:51:14.000 add work to

00:51:14.980 the cubicle

00:51:15.660 class, as

00:51:17.200 well as at

00:51:18.420 home.

00:51:18.980 I think it

00:51:19.600 will make my

00:51:20.060 life at

00:51:20.600 home harder

00:51:21.940 because I'll

00:51:23.560 be continuously

00:51:24.540 trying to find

00:51:25.280 out what

00:51:25.620 tool,

00:51:26.720 all right,

00:51:27.100 is it this

00:51:27.560 tool, but

00:51:28.140 somebody says

00:51:28.660 this tool,

00:51:29.440 and I've got

00:51:30.020 to sign up,

00:51:30.720 and this

00:51:31.000 one's not

00:51:31.360 sending its

00:51:31.860 data to

00:51:32.260 the other

00:51:32.560 one, and

00:51:33.040 why is the

00:51:34.020 API isn't

00:51:35.000 working today?

00:51:36.160 And all the

00:51:36.840 things that

00:51:37.180 used to be

00:51:37.580 easy, there'll

00:51:38.780 be so much

00:51:39.660 better way to

00:51:40.420 do it in

00:51:41.260 this complicated

00:51:42.000 way that you

00:51:43.400 have to spend

00:51:43.880 all your time

00:51:44.400 figuring out how

00:51:45.180 to do it.

00:51:46.520 Ordinary things

00:51:47.400 that you did

00:51:47.840 the other way.

00:51:49.100 Now, in the

00:51:50.900 long, long,

00:51:52.340 long run, is it

00:51:53.900 going to make

00:51:54.220 everything better?

00:51:56.160 Maybe.

00:51:57.460 Maybe.

00:51:58.360 And also, in

00:51:59.400 the long, long,

00:52:00.520 long run, there

00:52:01.580 could be fewer

00:52:02.320 computer printers.

00:52:04.940 I don't think

00:52:05.740 we're there, but

00:52:06.680 there could be.

00:52:07.580 You know, at

00:52:07.920 some point, there'll

00:52:09.020 just always be a

00:52:09.920 screen everywhere, so

00:52:11.420 you really will

00:52:12.020 never use a piece

00:52:12.740 of paper.

00:52:13.940 But that might be

00:52:15.060 a long time away.

00:52:15.900 All right, the Hill

00:52:19.120 is reporting there

00:52:19.780 was a survey that

00:52:21.120 showed that remote

00:52:22.020 workers, the ones

00:52:22.980 working at home

00:52:23.660 some of the time,

00:52:25.000 are more productive.

00:52:28.660 Do you believe

00:52:29.300 that?

00:52:29.640 That the remote

00:52:30.420 workers are more

00:52:31.440 productive.

00:52:33.580 How do you think

00:52:34.500 they measured that?

00:52:37.600 Just guess.

00:52:39.100 I decided not to

00:52:40.520 read the article.

00:52:41.800 I read the headline.

00:52:44.660 How do you think

00:52:45.480 they measure the

00:52:46.280 productivity of

00:52:47.800 somebody working

00:52:48.380 at home versus

00:52:49.060 the office?

00:52:49.660 would it be, I

00:52:52.760 don't know,

00:52:53.940 impossible?

00:52:56.400 Just putting it

00:52:57.220 out there.

00:52:58.200 Is that one of

00:52:58.840 those things that

00:52:59.500 might be impossible

00:53:01.820 to measure?

00:53:03.360 Yes, it is.

00:53:04.220 Yes, it is.

00:53:04.840 It is impossible

00:53:05.620 to measure.

00:53:06.860 So who do you

00:53:07.800 think might have

00:53:08.360 been behind this

00:53:09.620 result that the

00:53:11.440 remote workers are

00:53:12.440 so much more

00:53:13.840 effective?

00:53:16.220 Could it be, I

00:53:17.500 don't know, maybe

00:53:20.280 people who work

00:53:22.320 at home did the

00:53:23.380 survey?

00:53:25.100 Maybe when you

00:53:26.000 ask people who

00:53:26.720 work at home and

00:53:27.500 prefer it, if

00:53:28.840 they're more

00:53:29.380 effective, they

00:53:30.640 say, yeah, yeah,

00:53:33.980 I totally have.

00:53:35.520 Uh-huh.

00:53:36.760 Uh-huh.

00:53:37.400 Do you work more

00:53:38.240 hours?

00:53:40.040 Sure.

00:53:41.520 Sure.

00:53:42.360 And when you work

00:53:43.120 those hours and

00:53:43.840 you're distracting

00:53:44.500 atmosphere with your

00:53:45.440 dog and your kids

00:53:46.360 and everything, are

00:53:47.320 you focusing better

00:53:48.960 at home?

00:53:50.000 Oh, yeah.

00:53:51.520 Oh, yeah.

00:53:52.340 It's way better.

00:53:53.700 It's way better.

00:53:54.900 Write that down.

00:53:56.640 Write that down.

00:53:57.900 Way better focus

00:53:59.340 and, oh, so many

00:54:00.500 more hours.

00:54:01.660 Weekends.

00:54:02.780 Sometimes I'm up

00:54:03.620 all night.

00:54:04.860 Sometimes the work

00:54:05.680 is so appealing I

00:54:06.580 just can't stop.

00:54:09.360 Do I need to tell

00:54:10.460 you that this

00:54:11.020 survey is bullshit?

00:54:14.220 I don't really need

00:54:15.380 to tell you that,

00:54:15.960 do I?

00:54:16.980 I wouldn't believe

00:54:17.840 anything in this

00:54:18.740 domain.

00:54:19.820 Now, I'm not

00:54:20.400 saying it's not

00:54:21.000 true.

00:54:22.060 I'm not saying

00:54:22.620 that.

00:54:23.140 I'm saying you

00:54:23.600 couldn't possibly,

00:54:24.820 couldn't possibly

00:54:25.920 have accurate

00:54:27.180 information.

00:54:28.440 This is sort of

00:54:29.020 like measuring the

00:54:29.860 temperature of the

00:54:30.680 world.

00:54:32.340 Every time,

00:54:33.000 every time somebody

00:54:33.720 says they measure

00:54:34.420 the temperature of

00:54:35.240 the whole world,

00:54:36.440 the average,

00:54:38.320 I just laugh.

00:54:40.020 Do you know

00:54:40.320 why?

00:54:40.820 I was born in the

00:54:42.020 real world.

00:54:43.180 In the real world,

00:54:44.040 you can't measure the

00:54:45.220 temperature of the

00:54:45.880 earth and compare it

00:54:46.680 to last year.

00:54:47.660 That's no thing.

00:54:49.900 Who thinks that's a

00:54:50.980 thing?

00:54:52.240 Who thinks you can do

00:54:53.100 that?

00:54:54.160 Well, I'll be

00:54:54.800 going to say with

00:54:55.180 thermometers.

00:54:56.520 The satellite stuff

00:54:57.560 might be a little

00:54:58.140 closer to something

00:54:59.440 that's real.

00:54:59.900 But who thinks the

00:55:01.340 thermometers put all

00:55:03.600 over the earth are

00:55:04.180 giving you some kind

00:55:05.060 of good answer?

00:55:07.040 That's ridiculous.

00:55:08.560 Do I have to be a

00:55:09.460 scientist to know

00:55:10.940 that you can't

00:55:12.120 measure the

00:55:12.580 temperature of the

00:55:13.200 earth?

00:55:15.980 All right.

00:55:16.860 The fact that

00:55:17.380 anybody believes

00:55:18.220 that.

00:55:21.200 Apparently, the

00:55:21.840 American workforce is

00:55:23.120 coming back strong.

00:55:24.440 A lot of people in

00:55:25.460 the 25 to 54 year age

00:55:28.120 your head in the

00:55:28.540 market.

00:55:29.760 Is that a good

00:55:30.420 thing or a bad

00:55:30.980 thing?

00:55:31.800 Way more people are

00:55:32.820 entering the labor

00:55:34.380 market openings.

00:55:37.000 So they do have

00:55:37.540 openings and more

00:55:38.380 people are going in.

00:55:39.540 This is the Wall

00:55:40.180 Street Journal who

00:55:40.740 reported this.

00:55:41.880 Is that a good

00:55:42.340 thing or a bad

00:55:42.800 thing?

00:55:45.820 Do you think it

00:55:46.540 would help or hurt

00:55:47.520 the competence of

00:55:49.540 the economy?

00:55:51.720 Lots more people

00:55:52.600 going to work.

00:55:54.520 Think it's good?

00:55:56.080 Which people didn't

00:55:57.120 have a job already?

00:55:58.760 The competent people

00:55:59.680 or the incompetent?

00:56:01.580 Which ones were

00:56:02.580 already employed?

00:56:06.280 Were employers

00:56:07.260 mostly preferring the

00:56:08.360 incompetent while the

00:56:09.960 highly capable people

00:56:11.100 were just sitting it

00:56:11.960 out?

00:56:12.720 But now they've

00:56:13.440 decided, hmm, this

00:56:15.100 would be a good time

00:56:15.680 to go back to work.

00:56:17.100 I don't think so.

00:56:18.380 I think the capable

00:56:19.240 people already had

00:56:20.140 jobs and that the

00:56:22.100 employers are lowering

00:56:23.280 their standards to

00:56:25.000 fill positions.

00:56:25.780 governments, just

00:56:26.740 like the military

00:56:27.380 is, right?

00:56:28.200 Military is doing

00:56:28.900 the same thing.

00:56:30.160 So wouldn't you say

00:56:31.220 that this good news

00:56:33.320 that the labor force

00:56:34.880 is really strong and

00:56:35.820 people are going back

00:56:36.620 into it, is that as

00:56:38.620 good as it sounds?

00:56:41.420 I mean, it's good

00:56:42.320 that they get paychecks,

00:56:43.340 so it's good for the

00:56:43.960 economy.

00:56:44.680 But if you're looking

00:56:45.860 at the competence of

00:56:47.300 the country, it should

00:56:48.940 take it down.

00:56:50.120 Would you agree that

00:56:51.020 that seems like a

00:56:52.160 cause and effect of

00:56:53.840 bringing in people who

00:56:55.080 are not already

00:56:56.340 well-employed?

00:56:58.660 All right.

00:56:59.660 I'm going to give you

00:57:00.460 a little story before

00:57:01.800 I talk about Americans

00:57:02.800 and competence problem

00:57:03.780 in a little more

00:57:04.260 detail.

00:57:05.760 I've got a friend who,

00:57:07.020 when he was 16 years

00:57:08.060 old, and he's in my

00:57:09.420 age range, so this was

00:57:10.420 long ago, when he was

00:57:11.720 16, his father owned

00:57:13.680 a bowling alley, and

00:57:15.420 then his father got a

00:57:16.580 better offer, better job

00:57:18.880 at a big corporation.

00:57:20.000 So rather than closing

00:57:22.120 or selling the bowling

00:57:23.140 alley, the 16-year-old

00:57:25.560 was asked if he wanted

00:57:26.640 to just manage the

00:57:27.580 bowling alley, just run

00:57:29.160 the company.

00:57:30.620 He was 16.

00:57:32.880 So remember, this is

00:57:34.240 many years ago, so what

00:57:36.140 did the 16-year-old say,

00:57:37.460 who basically had been

00:57:38.400 running the company

00:57:39.300 anyway?

00:57:39.940 He was like an assistant

00:57:40.720 manager, he was kind of

00:57:41.880 running it anyway.

00:57:43.200 He said, sure, sure.

00:57:45.720 So it was a whole

00:57:46.800 business, you know, a

00:57:47.760 bowling alley, that was

00:57:49.620 managed by a 16-year-old

00:57:51.260 kid.

00:57:52.880 Now, in my day, in my

00:57:55.600 day when I was a

00:57:57.040 youngster, that wasn't

00:57:59.060 that unusual.

00:58:01.040 Yeah, and if you went

00:58:02.040 back into, you know,

00:58:03.020 old-timey times, you

00:58:04.380 know, back in the

00:58:05.420 prairie, yeah, a 16-year-old

00:58:07.540 was the head of the

00:58:08.280 household.

00:58:09.480 It wasn't that unusual.

00:58:11.560 But do you think a 16-year-old

00:58:14.140 should run a company in

00:58:15.540 2023?

00:58:17.180 I mean, there might be

00:58:18.140 some special ones.

00:58:19.980 But it's different.

00:58:22.500 Things look really

00:58:23.600 different now.

00:58:25.120 I believe I could have

00:58:27.060 run a company at 16

00:58:28.260 back in those days.

00:58:30.760 You know, things were

00:58:31.260 simpler, too.

00:58:32.400 But I think I could have.

00:58:33.860 I felt I was ready.

00:58:36.080 You know, it wouldn't have

00:58:36.520 been easy, but I could have

00:58:37.640 figured it down as I went.

00:58:38.840 I could have gotten there.

00:58:41.100 Now, compare that to the

00:58:43.260 design of America at the

00:58:45.400 moment.

00:58:45.680 I'm going to read a bunch

00:58:46.960 of statements that, just

00:58:49.220 tell me if you think these

00:58:50.140 are true or false, and do

00:58:52.180 they contribute to the

00:58:53.360 incompetence of the

00:58:54.420 country?

00:58:55.480 So my thesis here is that we

00:58:57.040 have a current design for

00:58:59.040 our country that guarantees

00:59:00.580 incompetence.

00:59:01.600 And we didn't always.

00:59:03.080 We used to have a design that

00:59:04.500 guaranteed that the

00:59:06.340 competent people would rise

00:59:07.660 and, you know, take over

00:59:08.880 everything.

00:59:09.220 But here's our current

00:59:10.900 situation.

00:59:11.580 We've got the teachers' 0.62

00:59:12.760 union blocking school

00:59:14.280 choice.

00:59:15.740 Should that make us more

00:59:16.980 capable or less capable

00:59:18.220 over time?

00:59:19.420 Less, right?

00:59:20.520 Because competition is the

00:59:22.120 only thing that makes

00:59:22.760 anything work, and they're

00:59:24.360 getting rid of it.

00:59:26.420 And they also maintain

00:59:28.200 teachers who are not good.

00:59:31.000 They're hard to fire because

00:59:32.280 the union protects them.

00:59:34.320 So certainly the teachers'

00:59:36.560 union should make us all

00:59:38.380 stupid by design.

00:59:40.460 I don't see any way around

00:59:41.560 it.

00:59:42.500 Another one, affirmative

00:59:43.800 action.

00:59:45.760 Do you think affirmative

00:59:46.700 action causes companies who

00:59:49.160 would obviously prefer to have

00:59:51.800 highly qualified employees but

00:59:53.340 also diverse?

00:59:54.420 That's what they prefer.

00:59:56.080 But unfortunately, they have

00:59:57.380 to deal with math, which is

00:59:59.780 they can't all get qualified

01:00:01.980 people because there just

01:00:02.940 aren't enough.

01:00:04.260 It's just numbers.

01:00:05.600 So if you can't get enough but

01:00:07.420 you're being measured on your

01:00:08.760 diversity even more than your

01:00:10.960 profits, what are you going to

01:00:12.420 do?

01:00:13.120 You're going to start lowering

01:00:14.040 your standards, which has

01:00:16.120 nothing to do with the

01:00:17.460 capabilities of any group.

01:00:19.680 This is not about bigotry.

01:00:21.360 This is just math.

01:00:23.380 That if you lower your standards

01:00:24.720 because it's the only way you

01:00:25.900 can fill your spots, you get

01:00:28.260 less qualified people.

01:00:30.440 There's no argument there.

01:00:31.660 That's a strict definition of

01:00:33.980 cause and effect.

01:00:36.160 How about a tight job market?

01:00:39.880 Well, the lower standards, we

01:00:41.220 talked about that.

01:00:42.120 How about the fact that in 2023,

01:00:45.000 the media, the scientists and

01:00:46.980 experts in general are all lying

01:00:49.360 to us?

01:00:50.580 I don't know how different that is

01:00:52.100 from the past.

01:00:53.260 Maybe we just know more about it.

01:00:55.360 But do you think we're getting

01:00:57.220 dumber because we're lied to by

01:00:59.120 all the smart people?

01:01:01.200 I feel like that has an effect.

01:01:04.420 So I just gave you the story of

01:01:06.780 probably the smartest person in

01:01:08.980 Congress, Thomas Massey.

01:01:11.320 He might literally, like if you

01:01:13.120 gave an IQ test, he might be

01:01:15.720 number one.

01:01:17.300 And then John Kerry is no slouch.

01:01:19.760 You might disagree with him, but

01:01:21.280 he's not dumb.

01:01:22.340 He's a real smart guy.

01:01:23.960 Super smart guy.

01:01:24.900 Those super smart guys were

01:01:29.680 arguing about CO2 a million years

01:01:31.920 ago, like it mattered.

01:01:35.060 I feel like this is somehow

01:01:36.680 downstream from all the experts'

01:01:39.900 stupidity, that even smart people

01:01:42.760 are dragged into a conversation that

01:01:46.120 doesn't make sense.

01:01:48.940 How about the fact that we have

01:01:51.800 lots of college and lots of people

01:01:53.240 going to college, but we have lots

01:01:55.200 of college courses that don't make

01:01:56.800 you smart?

01:01:58.240 Does college make you smart?

01:02:00.760 It used to.

01:02:02.500 I'm pretty sure it used to.

01:02:04.100 And there are a lot of college

01:02:04.960 majors.

01:02:06.180 You know, if you pick the right

01:02:07.120 major, yeah, totally it'll make you

01:02:08.580 smarter.

01:02:09.320 But I feel like there's a whole

01:02:10.440 bunch of college majors that are

01:02:12.800 actually designed to make you

01:02:13.960 dumber.

01:02:15.080 And that feels new.

01:02:17.840 How about a few more things that

01:02:19.240 would make us dumber?

01:02:19.900 We've got a lot of the smart people

01:02:23.320 are retiring.

01:02:24.820 What about just retirement?

01:02:26.460 Do you think we're losing skills

01:02:27.860 because the boomers, the boomers 0.74

01:02:30.020 tend to have a wide range of

01:02:32.960 skills.

01:02:33.980 They tend to be talent stackers.

01:02:36.440 I don't know if that's still true.

01:02:38.220 So maybe we're losing stuff to

01:02:39.560 retirements.

01:02:41.000 And there's also a bubble, you know,

01:02:43.440 since the boomers were a big bubble. 0.63

01:02:45.360 Just the fact that boomers had a lot 1.00

01:02:47.560 of training and that the group with

01:02:49.900 the most training is also the group

01:02:52.060 that's most retiring.

01:02:54.180 Again, it's just math.

01:02:55.860 There's no opinion here.

01:02:57.700 The math requires that you have less

01:02:59.840 qualified people when you're done with

01:03:01.660 those retirements.

01:03:03.360 How about startups sucking all the

01:03:06.120 smart people into areas that, by

01:03:09.620 their nature, 9 out of 10 are going to

01:03:12.860 fail?

01:03:13.760 Well, it's probably great for startups

01:03:15.600 because you want your smart people in

01:03:17.480 the startups.

01:03:18.820 But don't you think the startup world

01:03:21.840 is now so large that you can suck the 0.59

01:03:24.980 best people out of every corporation?

01:03:27.820 So when the startup world is small,

01:03:30.320 you know, it can be your smartest

01:03:31.280 people, but you still have plenty of

01:03:33.360 smart people just doing their regular

01:03:35.400 jobs.

01:03:36.460 But what happens when all of the

01:03:38.280 smartest people realize that they

01:03:40.620 could be billionaires if they just do a

01:03:42.940 startup?

01:03:43.200 And then 9 out of 10 fail.

01:03:45.780 So you take your smartest people from

01:03:47.880 environments where most of the time

01:03:50.000 they're succeeding.

01:03:51.520 You put them into a startup, you know,

01:03:55.060 situation where, by its nature, 9 out of

01:03:58.040 10 fail.

01:03:59.060 You're basically putting your smartest

01:04:01.260 people into failure and taking them out

01:04:04.860 of success.

01:04:06.200 Now, I don't know if that's a net bad or

01:04:08.160 good because those smartest people are

01:04:10.060 creating, you know, Google and Apple and,

01:04:11.980 you know, stuff like that.

01:04:13.600 So it might come out positive, but it's

01:04:15.640 at least one of those things I look at

01:04:17.140 that might be sucking talent out of

01:04:19.300 places we need it.

01:04:20.740 All right.

01:04:21.000 So you put this all together.

01:04:23.560 And there might be something that's

01:04:26.640 making us smarter, but I can't think of

01:04:29.820 it.

01:04:30.740 The best I could come up with is that

01:04:32.440 you can get online training for just

01:04:35.220 everything.

01:04:36.180 But that only applies to people who are 0.99

01:04:37.900 willing to go get it, right?

01:04:39.700 It doesn't come to you.

01:04:41.840 You've got to say, all right, I'm going

01:04:43.100 to learn this new thing, and then you've

01:04:44.260 got to really work at it.

01:04:46.740 So it seems to me that we have designed

01:04:48.760 a system accidentally.

01:04:51.120 So design is the wrong word.

01:04:52.740 But we've drifted into a system that

01:04:55.200 guarantees growing incompetence.

01:04:58.820 Yeah, you can throw drugs in there and 0.56

01:05:00.520 addiction and everything.

01:05:02.200 Yeah, actually, addiction is a good one.

01:05:03.660 Let's throw addiction in there.

01:05:05.300 I think there's more addiction.

01:05:07.060 So that should take something off your

01:05:08.480 capability as well.

01:05:10.680 And also health.

01:05:12.220 What about general health?

01:05:14.080 Nobody is as smart or as productive if

01:05:16.540 they have bad health.

01:05:17.780 But our food system is killing us, and

01:05:20.240 our big pharma is doing a mixed job.

01:05:23.500 So we're making people less effective by

01:05:27.580 their health, less effective in their

01:05:29.780 education, less effective in their

01:05:31.360 training, less effective by filtering,

01:05:34.360 you know, actually preferring less

01:05:36.220 qualified people, because you've got to

01:05:37.740 fill these spots.

01:05:39.640 Now, is there anything that all of these

01:05:42.220 forces have in common?

01:05:45.720 It's like a whole bunch of things I just

01:05:47.300 talked about making us less capable.

01:05:50.200 But is there any, like, core, like, bottom

01:05:52.940 thing that's causing it all?

01:05:54.980 Because I heard some people say it's

01:05:57.160 obviously the communists, it's

01:06:00.140 communists, so it might be other

01:06:02.340 countries trying to influence us, but

01:06:04.260 it's the local Marxists and the

01:06:05.960 communists who are doing it.

01:06:07.320 Do you think that's what's happening?

01:06:11.220 All right, I'm going to give you my

01:06:13.460 hypothesis.

01:06:15.000 It's women. 1.00

01:06:16.260 It's women. 1.00

01:06:18.120 It's all caused by women. 1.00

01:06:19.460 Now, when I say it's all caused by

01:06:22.200 women, do I mean that every single, 1.00

01:06:25.660 hold on, let me take a break.

01:06:30.700 Why do you mean every single woman is 1.00

01:06:32.740 exactly the same?

01:06:35.040 Well, Dale, that's not what I mean.

01:06:37.660 And anybody with good reading

01:06:39.060 comprehension or has lived in the world

01:06:41.420 for more than a second knows that when

01:06:44.240 people talk about groups, they never,

01:06:46.740 ever, ever, me and every person in

01:06:50.380 that group is the same.

01:06:51.960 So why are you saying they're all the

01:06:53.460 same?

01:06:54.280 Okay, again, I didn't really say that.

01:06:56.080 I'm just talking in the normal way that

01:06:57.760 people talk when they talk about the

01:06:59.740 average of a group.

01:07:00.800 It's more about an average sort of

01:07:02.400 situation.

01:07:03.480 And yet, you say everyone is the same.

01:07:07.500 Dale, can you look at the calendar for

01:07:09.580 me?

01:07:10.600 Certainly.

01:07:12.700 What's today?

01:07:15.020 July 24th.

01:07:16.740 What season is that?

01:07:19.620 Summer.

01:07:22.040 So are you pretending to be angry about

01:07:26.340 something that you know isn't true

01:07:28.720 because it's the summer and it's just

01:07:32.240 summer news?

01:07:33.100 Maybe.

01:07:35.720 Dale, go back to where you came from.

01:07:39.080 Gladly.

01:07:40.800 And pause.

01:07:42.700 All right, so here's what I mean.

01:07:43.860 Here's what I don't mean.

01:07:46.840 I don't mean there's anything wrong with

01:07:48.260 women. 0.81

01:07:49.660 Can I put that out there?

01:07:51.380 There's nothing wrong with women. 1.00

01:07:53.620 Women are great. 1.00

01:07:55.840 And there's nothing wrong with individual

01:07:58.040 women. 0.81

01:07:59.940 Individual women, I'm a big fan. 0.98

01:08:02.760 I can show you plenty of individual

01:08:04.720 women who are just killing it in the 1.00

01:08:06.300 workplace, killing it in life, killing it

01:08:10.180 with their families, awesome people.

01:08:12.600 I like women. 1.00

01:08:14.920 However, it is generally true, if we can

01:08:18.980 stay out of the trans conversation for a 0.99

01:08:22.020 moment, if you will.

01:08:23.740 Can I have permission to talk about

01:08:25.760 something that's not related to trans?

01:08:28.980 Anybody?

01:08:29.820 Is that okay?

01:08:30.560 I don't know.

01:08:31.040 Is it legal?

01:08:32.660 It's still legal, right?

01:08:33.980 I can talk about a topic without even

01:08:36.040 referencing.

01:08:37.420 Is it like trans is not central to the

01:08:40.540 topic?

01:08:41.140 Okay.

01:08:42.200 Well, I had to check.

01:08:44.620 All right, so here's what I say about

01:08:46.120 the difference between men and women.

01:08:47.760 Men have more testosterone.

01:08:54.020 That's not true.

01:08:55.640 What about the trans?

01:08:58.080 Shut up, Dale.

01:08:59.120 Shut up. 0.95

01:08:59.740 We're not doing trans today. 1.00

01:09:01.280 Men have more testosterone.

01:09:05.340 If you take a bunch of people with more

01:09:07.860 testosterone, be they trans or be they 1.00

01:09:10.960 not, are they more likely to develop

01:09:14.340 systems that focus on competition

01:09:17.320 compared to a control group of people

01:09:21.720 with less testosterone?

01:09:24.400 What do you think?

01:09:25.680 Do you think that the testosterone group,

01:09:28.180 if they were creating a system, would make

01:09:30.300 them competitive, such as the free

01:09:32.700 market, such as democracy and voting?

01:09:37.380 Of course.

01:09:38.540 I think they would.

01:09:39.820 And would that mean that those people

01:09:41.540 who had more testosterone, are they 0.67

01:09:43.460 the smart ones?

01:09:45.220 No.

01:09:45.760 I'm not saying that.

01:09:47.300 I'm saying that if you pump anybody with

01:09:49.060 testosterone, they make different

01:09:50.860 decisions than if they have less

01:09:52.200 testosterone.

01:09:53.520 It has nothing to do with your brain.

01:09:55.500 It's literally a chemical.

01:09:56.800 That you had nothing to do with it.

01:09:59.200 Well, maybe you boosted it somehow.

01:10:01.560 But it's just a chemical.

01:10:04.460 All right.

01:10:04.620 Now, second question.

01:10:06.680 If you had a group that you were

01:10:08.340 studying that you knew were lower

01:10:11.400 testosterone, what would be the nature?

01:10:14.940 And let's say that they had female

01:10:16.760 chemistry.

01:10:17.240 What is the nature of systems that they're

01:10:21.140 likely to build?

01:10:23.100 Would they be competitive systems?

01:10:25.680 You know, dog-eat-dog, winner-takes-all.

01:10:28.740 Or are they more likely to be a sharing,

01:10:31.980 communal kind of a situation where no one

01:10:34.740 is left behind?

01:10:36.560 Well, I mean, you know the answer, right?

01:10:40.060 Don't you?

01:10:41.560 Yeah.

01:10:42.080 And is there anything wrong with a

01:10:44.660 cooperative system that leaves nobody

01:10:48.100 behind?

01:10:49.180 It sounds great.

01:10:50.980 It's exactly how you want your family to

01:10:52.900 work, right?

01:10:53.940 Yeah, you want your family to work that

01:10:55.220 way.

01:10:55.840 That is a family frame.

01:10:58.120 You're not going to let the weakest

01:10:59.420 child die. 0.88

01:11:01.420 You can take care of your whole family.

01:11:04.640 But if you take these two groups who are

01:11:07.800 individually and as a group, awesome.

01:11:09.920 So let's say that women are awesome 1.00

01:11:12.280 individually and as a group.

01:11:14.480 And let's just be charitable here and say

01:11:16.280 that men are awesome individually and as

01:11:18.860 a group.

01:11:19.740 Nobody's better.

01:11:21.040 Nobody's worse.

01:11:22.300 But one group has more testosterone.

01:11:25.260 And that predicts, I believe, I believe it

01:11:29.320 predicts a set of actions in general.

01:11:31.860 Again, not every person, but in general.

01:11:34.580 And I believe that everything we're seeing

01:11:36.660 of this growing incompetence in America,

01:11:39.000 and I'll just read you the list again.

01:11:41.280 All right.

01:11:41.500 As I read you the list, ask yourself this.

01:11:45.500 If only men had been involved, would they

01:11:48.040 have designed these systems?

01:11:50.280 So you've got the teachers' unions run by a

01:11:52.940 woman, very dominated by women. 1.00

01:11:55.820 You've got affirmative action, which I'm

01:11:59.200 sure has more women promoting it than men, at 1.00

01:12:02.720 least really caring, because women would be 1.00

01:12:04.580 more benefiting.

01:12:05.720 I think the job market, that takes care of

01:12:10.000 itself.

01:12:10.400 How about the media, science, and experts

01:12:12.320 lying?

01:12:13.780 I don't think that has to do with women.

01:12:16.620 I would say that I wouldn't blame that on

01:12:18.240 women. 0.81

01:12:18.900 How about useless college classes?

01:12:24.220 Well, the only reason that useless college

01:12:27.820 classes exist is that people sign up for

01:12:30.040 them and they pay for them.

01:12:30.940 Who is signing up for the useless college

01:12:34.080 classes?

01:12:35.300 The non-stem cell?

01:12:37.580 Women. 0.81

01:12:38.800 Okay.

01:12:40.500 And again, that's an average.

01:12:42.280 It's not meant to represent any one woman.

01:12:45.540 The people retiring, that's just happening on

01:12:47.620 its own.

01:12:48.720 And startups apps on its own.

01:12:52.000 So some of these are just, some of these are

01:12:55.200 just an effect of where we are in the

01:12:57.280 economy, but others are clearly, clearly

01:13:01.360 because women dominate policy. 1.00

01:13:04.960 Do you think that's a true statement?

01:13:07.300 That women dominate policy? 1.00

01:13:10.460 I think it's guaranteed by the nature of men 0.99

01:13:13.780 and women that women would eventually would 1.00

01:13:17.540 dominate.

01:13:18.380 And the reason is that a lot of these

01:13:20.220 questions are kind of close.

01:13:22.740 You know, the reason that there's any

01:13:23.960 conversation at all is that reasonable

01:13:26.360 people can disagree on what to do.

01:13:30.800 But you know what reasonable people have a

01:13:32.760 hard time doing?

01:13:34.760 Pissing off women. 0.99

01:13:36.600 Pissing off women. 0.99

01:13:38.080 If you put me in a situation where I'm just

01:13:40.040 analyzing, you know, the risks and rewards

01:13:42.440 and which one's better, and there's no

01:13:44.420 outside force, I probably get the right answer

01:13:47.540 more than not.

01:13:48.460 You know, oh, this one's better than this

01:13:50.300 one.

01:13:51.020 But if you put on top of it, can you analyze

01:13:54.320 these two forces?

01:13:55.980 But let me tell you in advance that if you

01:13:57.800 decide that one of these is better than the

01:13:59.480 others and it's the wrong one, you're going to

01:14:01.760 be fucking canceled. 0.97

01:14:04.180 Because women. 1.00

01:14:06.040 Because women exist. 1.00

01:14:08.200 Which one am I going to choose?

01:14:10.240 I'm going to choose the one that doesn't get me

01:14:12.440 canceled, doesn't give me a fight when I go

01:14:14.640 home, right?

01:14:15.800 Women are very influential without having, let's 1.00

01:14:20.960 say, power on paper.

01:14:28.240 PJ says, Scott is terrified of powerful women. 0.98

01:14:31.560 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

01:14:33.060 I'm terrified of powerful women. 1.00

01:14:34.540 I'm going to use you, PJ, as an example of the

01:14:40.960 declining competence in the United States.

01:14:43.660 That was not a, let's say, A-plus comment.

01:14:48.700 I'm not sure it was a B-minus.

01:14:51.320 That was sort of a D-plus, barely represented human 0.99

01:14:56.620 communication.

01:14:58.300 Do better.

01:14:59.380 Do better.

01:14:59.720 Stefan says, in all capital letters, I would

01:15:04.660 bet my left nut this guy is single.

01:15:08.700 Big fucking surprise.

01:15:10.480 Because I don't have to go home to a wife and

01:15:12.240 explain what I did on a live stream today.

01:15:15.700 That's why I'm telling you the truth.

01:15:17.760 Because I don't have to go fucking explain it to

01:15:19.820 a woman when I'm done.

01:15:22.980 Do you think I would have done this live stream

01:15:24.800 when I was married?

01:15:26.920 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

01:15:29.720 Oh, you poor bastards who can't say what you want to say.

01:15:34.560 I'm, I just want to make you jealous for a moment.

01:15:39.120 I don't like to brag.

01:15:41.600 But I'm canceled and single.

01:15:47.220 Yeah.

01:15:48.440 Same time.

01:15:49.780 I'm canceled and I'm single.

01:15:52.940 I can say any fucking thing I want.

01:15:56.440 And I'm rich.

01:15:57.480 I can say any fucking thing I want to anyone.

01:16:03.480 Well, unless somebody might beat me up.

01:16:07.700 So I think you should sit there in the silent

01:16:10.420 jealousy that I have that thing you crave,

01:16:14.860 the ability to say what I want.

01:16:16.260 Yes, I think that the political power of women 1.00

01:16:21.640 is destroying the country.

01:16:25.120 And I'm not sure I would even change it

01:16:27.120 because who wants to take political power away

01:16:29.720 from, you know, citizens of the United States?

01:16:32.460 I don't have a solution.

01:16:34.360 If you're telling me, but Scott,

01:16:36.260 are you saying going back to the old ways

01:16:38.280 where, you know, women were property of the men? 0.98

01:16:41.280 Then, no, I don't have a good idea.

01:16:45.080 I literally don't have a better idea.

01:16:46.920 I'm just describing the current situation.

01:16:49.280 If you're trying to understand why we are where we are,

01:16:53.220 maybe you understand it better.

01:16:55.880 I'd love to see somebody come up with a solution.

01:16:58.820 I would say that one solution is Vivek, right?

01:17:04.280 Vivek Ramaswamy is saying directly, strongly, clearly,

01:17:09.020 and with a good argument,

01:17:10.580 I'm going to get rid of affirmative action 1.00

01:17:12.880 because it's counterproductive for everybody.

01:17:18.240 And so that's the solution.

01:17:20.540 So I guess I would promote that, and I am backing him.

01:17:25.100 But it's important to understand it.

01:17:26.760 You don't have to get mad at each other for that.

01:17:30.420 All right.

01:17:31.600 I saw a tweet by Kana Anna who said in her tweet,

01:17:36.600 it still shocks me that the, quote,

01:17:38.600 educated class is the easiest manipulated class.

01:17:43.160 Do you know who knew that,

01:17:45.080 that the most educated are the easiest to manipulate?

01:17:49.140 Well, hypnotists and magicians have known it forever.

01:17:52.760 So have fraudulent psychics.

01:17:55.060 I remember the amazing Randy.

01:17:59.100 Amazing Randy.

01:18:00.280 A magician who used to debunk, you know, frauds.

01:18:04.660 And he was famous for saying that it was easier to fool a scientist

01:18:08.340 than an average person.

01:18:11.500 Because the average person is not confident in what they know.

01:18:16.200 So they'll look at something and say,

01:18:18.020 oh, I don't know, that looks sketchy to me.

01:18:19.960 I don't know the details, but it looks sketchy to me.

01:18:22.060 You fool a scientist with a magic trick,

01:18:25.520 and the scientist will say something like this.

01:18:28.580 Well, I can see no way that that could be a trick,

01:18:31.740 so probably you're talking to spirits.

01:18:35.820 Right?

01:18:36.480 So in other words, you can be trapped by your own discipline.

01:18:40.060 Say, all right, well, I've considered every possibility

01:18:43.280 that's not talking to the dead,

01:18:46.420 and here's the dead talking to me,

01:18:49.160 so I'm going to have to rule out all the other possibilities

01:18:52.120 because I can think of no hypothesis

01:18:53.740 that would be an alternative hypothesis.

01:18:57.020 Given all the controls that you put on here,

01:18:59.600 you know, given the fact that I got to check the room,

01:19:02.320 and, you know, given the fact that I really, really

01:19:04.320 made sure there was no magic trick,

01:19:07.040 and then those ghosts were talking,

01:19:09.760 I heard it with my own ears.

01:19:10.920 So I have to conclude, from a scientific perspective,

01:19:15.400 having totally controlled the environment

01:19:17.120 and then seen the results of the experiment,

01:19:18.980 I have to conclude that the dead do talk to us,

01:19:22.060 and I saw it myself.

01:19:24.740 Now, you take a non-scientist

01:19:27.060 and put them in that same situation,

01:19:29.620 and they're sitting in the room,

01:19:31.220 and the psychic is like,

01:19:32.740 oh, your grandmother is talking to you,

01:19:35.780 and the ordinary person says,

01:19:37.700 I don't have time for this bullshit.

01:19:41.400 Seriously.

01:19:42.300 And they get up and they walk out.

01:19:45.960 Because the ordinary person is just going to say,

01:19:49.040 I don't really have to do a lot of research on this.

01:19:53.120 It looks like bullshit.

01:19:54.600 It's bullshit.

01:19:56.240 It's kind of like what a lot of you did

01:19:57.940 with the pandemic.

01:20:03.420 I think it's the funniest thing

01:20:05.460 that the experts got everything wrong.

01:20:08.960 I mean, it feels like the experts just got everything wrong.

01:20:10.920 And the non-experts got a lot right.

01:20:14.320 Not everything, probably, but a lot.

01:20:16.940 And what were the non-experts,

01:20:19.100 what was the rigor that the non-experts were putting into it?

01:20:22.720 So, you're telling me that this is the only virus

01:20:28.320 in the history of humanity

01:20:30.340 that does not give you natural immunity?

01:20:34.620 Just this one.

01:20:36.580 Huh.

01:20:37.580 And at the same time

01:20:39.120 that the virus doesn't give you natural immunity,

01:20:42.500 which is weird,

01:20:44.340 there's a pharma company

01:20:46.540 that spun up a solution in one year

01:20:48.560 after saying it couldn't be done in 30.

01:20:54.840 One plus one.

01:20:57.840 That's a...

01:20:58.940 Okay, I'm not very smart, but...

01:21:01.560 You got the one plus the one.

01:21:04.600 I think that's two.

01:21:05.780 And that was like the public.

01:21:09.620 And the scientists were saying,

01:21:11.840 but what about that randomized controlled trial

01:21:14.480 paid for by the people

01:21:16.320 who want the answer to come out one way?

01:21:18.640 What about that?

01:21:20.320 So, you can see that the scientists

01:21:22.140 were trapped in their professions.

01:21:24.520 Right?

01:21:25.200 They had to use the tools of their profession

01:21:27.500 to understand reality.

01:21:29.840 And the tools of their profession

01:21:31.480 were corrupted by the other people 0.98

01:21:33.060 in their profession.

01:21:35.000 So, they used corrupted tools,

01:21:37.200 you know, the studies

01:21:37.900 and the data that was bad.

01:21:39.700 And then they had great confidence

01:21:41.860 because their entire life

01:21:44.700 would be meaningless

01:21:45.960 and their life would be ridiculous

01:21:47.660 if they had been scientists

01:21:49.340 in a world where studies don't mean anything.

01:21:53.040 Right?

01:21:54.480 The scientists can't live in a world

01:21:56.640 where they realize

01:21:57.740 they've dedicated their whole life

01:21:59.200 to a field in which the data

01:22:01.260 just doesn't mean anything.

01:22:04.200 So, therefore,

01:22:05.680 when scientists were presented with data,

01:22:07.800 you know, of course,

01:22:08.340 they checked to make sure

01:22:09.140 it was peer-reviewed

01:22:09.980 and stuff like that.

01:22:10.940 They said,

01:22:11.440 well, it's probably convincing

01:22:13.180 because it's data.

01:22:15.140 So, there is a reason.

01:22:17.220 There is a reason

01:22:18.140 that the professional class

01:22:19.600 is the easiest to fool.

01:22:21.700 Now, if you said to me,

01:22:23.620 I want you to discover

01:22:24.700 some new information

01:22:25.760 that nobody knew before,

01:22:27.440 I would talk to the scientists.

01:22:30.140 I would not talk to the average person.

01:22:33.200 Would you agree?

01:22:35.000 Discovering new things?

01:22:36.040 Yeah, let the experts work on that.

01:22:38.380 They're going to get there faster

01:22:39.340 than I am by guessing.

01:22:41.280 But once they come up with their,

01:22:43.160 you know, their solutions

01:22:44.320 and their policies

01:22:45.320 and, you know,

01:22:46.360 here's what we ought to do,

01:22:47.320 that's when the public

01:22:49.020 gets really, you know,

01:22:50.980 a little bit curious.

01:22:52.620 Oh, so you haven't discovered

01:22:54.680 a new thing.

01:22:55.760 Rather, you've discovered

01:22:56.880 that this thing,

01:22:58.140 this thing called the virus,

01:22:59.480 is the only thing

01:23:00.620 that doesn't give you

01:23:01.240 natural immunity.

01:23:03.660 All right, that biased nature,

01:23:05.940 that should not have been incredible.

01:23:09.620 All right.

01:23:09.960 RFK Jr.,

01:23:12.900 I love what he's saying so much,

01:23:15.140 I'm just going to read it to you.

01:23:17.780 Can I go with a great tweet of this,

01:23:20.040 but it's from RFK Jr.

01:23:21.700 Quote,

01:23:22.720 the White House

01:23:25.300 had deployed an army

01:23:26.540 of federal agencies,

01:23:27.980 including the CIA,

01:23:29.300 FBI, DHS,

01:23:30.880 and IRS,

01:23:31.540 and many others,

01:23:32.320 to threaten Facebook,

01:23:34.040 Google,

01:23:34.360 and Twitter

01:23:34.800 with withdrawing

01:23:36.380 their Section 230 immunity,

01:23:38.620 which is an existential threat.

01:23:41.020 So yes,

01:23:41.860 we had free speech,

01:23:43.980 but you had the agencies

01:23:45.200 of the government

01:23:45.900 telling the platforms

01:23:47.840 for our free speech

01:23:49.180 that if they didn't restrict

01:23:50.960 our free speech,

01:23:52.200 they would lose

01:23:53.820 their Section 230 immunity,

01:23:55.400 which would allow them

01:23:56.120 to be sued

01:23:56.780 for misinformation

01:23:57.660 on their platforms.

01:23:59.020 So they would be out of business

01:24:00.020 pretty quickly.

01:24:01.540 All right,

01:24:01.740 so RFK Jr.

01:24:04.340 paints a picture

01:24:05.040 where the government

01:24:07.940 does use this trick

01:24:09.160 of threatening

01:24:09.800 the 230 status

01:24:11.840 of the platforms

01:24:13.140 to make the platforms

01:24:14.260 be their bitches. 1.00

01:24:16.020 All right,

01:24:16.280 so we now have

01:24:17.200 a very direct

01:24:18.540 and documented connection

01:24:20.320 of the government

01:24:21.700 making the platforms

01:24:22.780 their bitches 1.00

01:24:23.480 about free speech.

01:24:25.580 There's no question

01:24:26.480 about that now,

01:24:27.200 right?

01:24:27.640 Everybody agrees?

01:24:29.180 That is established

01:24:30.140 as a fact.

01:24:31.620 The government

01:24:32.100 used threat

01:24:33.520 and coercion 0.97

01:24:34.580 to turn the platforms

01:24:36.460 into their bitches 1.00

01:24:37.280 to make them

01:24:38.540 do what they wanted.

01:24:39.580 Now,

01:24:39.840 the platforms,

01:24:40.560 if you looked

01:24:40.920 at the communications,

01:24:42.700 it sort of looks like

01:24:43.500 the platforms

01:24:44.140 are happy to do it.

01:24:46.100 It looks like

01:24:46.720 they also have

01:24:47.480 an incentive

01:24:47.980 to get rid

01:24:48.520 of bad actors.

01:24:49.700 They also would like

01:24:50.840 to have no Chinese trolls

01:24:52.640 on their platform.

01:24:54.220 So there's,

01:24:54.700 you know,

01:24:54.940 the Venn diagram

01:24:55.660 of what's good

01:24:56.480 for the platform

01:24:57.300 and what's good

01:24:58.800 for the country

01:24:59.480 is pretty extensive,

01:25:01.500 right?

01:25:01.840 Neither the platform

01:25:02.860 nor the country

01:25:03.540 wants China 0.96

01:25:04.920 to be influencing

01:25:05.700 your opinions

01:25:06.440 on social media.

01:25:08.520 But,

01:25:09.240 when it gets

01:25:10.580 to that free speech part,

01:25:12.840 that's where

01:25:13.380 we go different directions.

01:25:15.160 Public wants

01:25:15.840 free speech,

01:25:16.560 government might

01:25:18.280 think there are

01:25:18.820 some cases

01:25:19.300 where that's

01:25:19.760 a bad idea.

01:25:21.080 And so they threaten

01:25:21.840 the platforms.

01:25:23.520 Effectively,

01:25:24.180 they create a way

01:25:24.940 to squelch speech

01:25:26.540 without being,

01:25:27.980 looking like

01:25:28.400 the bad guys.

01:25:29.940 Because you can't,

01:25:30.540 you don't see

01:25:30.960 their fingerprints

01:25:31.560 until all this

01:25:32.860 documentation comes out.

01:25:35.380 All right,

01:25:36.020 so RFK Jr.

01:25:37.120 goes on.

01:25:38.200 Those companies

01:25:39.060 cannot exist

01:25:39.920 without immunity.

01:25:41.000 That's that

01:25:41.400 Section 230 thing.

01:25:42.840 And they were told

01:25:43.540 that if they did not

01:25:44.480 censor the president's

01:25:45.940 opponents,

01:25:46.560 and critics

01:25:47.700 of these policies,

01:25:49.340 they would lose

01:25:49.980 that immunity.

01:25:53.580 I'm editing

01:25:54.340 a little bit,

01:25:55.000 but then he goes on.

01:25:55.680 With the intelligence

01:25:56.300 agencies,

01:25:57.100 many of them,

01:25:58.280 although not all

01:25:58.980 of them,

01:26:00.140 are now serving

01:26:01.100 the purpose

01:26:01.660 of enriching

01:26:02.540 the military

01:26:03.260 industrial complex

01:26:04.680 and expanding

01:26:05.980 its power

01:26:06.580 for some military

01:26:07.720 contractors.

01:26:09.480 Here's the kill shot.

01:26:11.420 My uncle,

01:26:13.200 JFK,

01:26:15.040 my uncle recognized

01:26:16.740 that the function

01:26:17.640 of the CIA

01:26:18.420 had devolved

01:26:19.960 into providing

01:26:20.860 the military

01:26:21.520 industrial complex

01:26:22.700 with a constant

01:26:24.100 pipeline of new

01:26:25.540 wars in order

01:26:27.100 to enrich

01:26:27.680 military contractors

01:26:29.080 and expand the

01:26:30.560 power of the

01:26:31.220 intelligence apparatus.

01:26:36.460 That's so well

01:26:37.480 said.

01:26:38.720 Wow.

01:26:39.120 And then he ends

01:26:40.880 with,

01:26:41.140 my primary

01:26:41.820 platform is

01:26:42.640 unraveling the

01:26:43.560 war machine

01:26:44.180 and the national

01:26:45.040 security state

01:26:46.000 that is bankrupting

01:26:47.500 and destroying

01:26:48.120 the middle class.

01:26:49.300 My God,

01:26:49.880 he tied it to the

01:26:50.580 middle class and he

01:26:51.340 made it work

01:26:51.880 in our country.

01:26:53.460 The ultimate

01:26:53.900 objective is to

01:26:54.880 protect democracy

01:26:55.980 and restore the

01:26:57.500 American middle

01:26:58.120 class.

01:26:59.880 Fuck,

01:27:00.440 he's good.

01:27:01.900 He's just so

01:27:02.900 good.

01:27:04.680 These Kennedys 0.94

01:27:05.580 can just do

01:27:06.380 this shit, 0.67

01:27:07.460 can't they?

01:27:08.840 The Kennedys,

01:27:09.660 they just have

01:27:10.260 the gift of gab

01:27:11.060 or something.

01:27:12.380 But I haven't

01:27:13.280 seen anybody

01:27:14.000 ever tie the

01:27:15.280 military industrial

01:27:17.400 complex to the

01:27:19.100 decline of the

01:27:19.860 middle class,

01:27:20.820 but you can see

01:27:21.860 it.

01:27:23.120 You can see it.

01:27:24.660 Your brain

01:27:25.540 connects them

01:27:26.080 as soon as he

01:27:26.540 says it.

01:27:27.580 It's just

01:27:28.140 brilliant.

01:27:29.520 Now,

01:27:30.760 I'll say again,

01:27:33.600 RFK Jr.,

01:27:35.320 Vivek Ramaswamy,

01:27:36.380 and I'll

01:27:37.320 throw DeSantis

01:27:37.940 in there too.

01:27:39.120 Super capable.

01:27:40.800 We're so lucky

01:27:42.240 that they exist.

01:27:44.180 All right,

01:27:44.680 along those

01:27:45.600 lines,

01:27:46.160 I saw a tweet

01:27:46.980 saying that

01:27:47.480 BlackRock was

01:27:48.300 going to make

01:27:48.700 a trillion

01:27:49.280 dollars rebuilding

01:27:50.840 Ukraine after

01:27:53.160 the military

01:27:54.440 industrial complex

01:27:55.640 and their

01:27:56.200 backers made

01:27:57.460 a trillion

01:27:57.860 dollars destroying

01:27:59.100 Ukraine.

01:28:00.160 Is it true

01:28:01.420 that our

01:28:02.040 economy is

01:28:03.440 literally designed

01:28:04.680 to destroy

01:28:06.180 countries for

01:28:07.280 profit and

01:28:08.460 then rebuild

01:28:09.020 them for

01:28:09.420 profit with

01:28:10.760 that profit

01:28:11.380 coming from

01:28:11.980 the taxpayers

01:28:12.680 and the

01:28:13.100 middle class?

01:28:15.420 Sure feels

01:28:16.120 like it.

01:28:17.260 Now,

01:28:17.720 I don't know

01:28:18.040 how much of

01:28:18.520 that is

01:28:18.800 intentional,

01:28:20.060 but this is

01:28:20.660 one of those

01:28:21.160 cases,

01:28:21.620 and I usually

01:28:22.040 don't say

01:28:22.480 this.

01:28:22.980 I usually

01:28:23.480 say that we

01:28:24.060 just got

01:28:24.620 here because

01:28:25.820 the variables

01:28:26.580 turned the

01:28:28.260 way they did.

01:28:28.700 I usually

01:28:29.600 don't go for

01:28:30.120 the conspiracy

01:28:30.700 theory,

01:28:32.100 but it's

01:28:33.980 hard for me

01:28:34.540 to look at

01:28:35.060 Iraq and

01:28:37.120 Afghanistan and

01:28:39.960 Ukraine and

01:28:41.860 imagine that

01:28:42.540 this isn't

01:28:43.020 true.

01:28:44.080 It looks

01:28:44.960 exactly like

01:28:45.860 what's happening.

01:28:46.660 It looks like

01:28:47.300 the intelligence

01:28:49.520 agencies start a

01:28:50.700 war that didn't

01:28:52.140 need to be

01:28:52.580 started, and

01:28:54.460 then the

01:28:56.000 military contractors

01:28:57.140 clean up,

01:28:57.860 they destroy

01:28:58.640 the country,

01:28:59.800 and then when

01:29:00.380 you're done,

01:29:01.440 another group

01:29:02.240 of bastards

01:29:04.080 make money

01:29:05.440 from the

01:29:06.000 taxpayers to

01:29:08.060 clean it up.

01:29:10.400 Yeah.

01:29:11.260 So,

01:29:12.500 could RFK

01:29:13.320 Jr.

01:29:13.840 actually change

01:29:15.580 that situation?

01:29:16.820 Probably not

01:29:17.660 without getting

01:29:18.200 assassinated.

01:29:20.380 You know,

01:29:20.700 I didn't want

01:29:21.400 to go there,

01:29:23.080 but he is

01:29:24.220 really on,

01:29:25.260 he's on the

01:29:26.040 hottest third

01:29:27.520 rail of all

01:29:29.100 third rails.

01:29:30.320 There is no

01:29:31.100 third rail that's

01:29:32.040 hotter than this

01:29:32.700 one.

01:29:33.380 And he's standing

01:29:34.060 on it with both

01:29:34.800 feet and shouting.

01:29:36.940 He's basically

01:29:37.820 saying,

01:29:38.360 shoot me.

01:29:41.460 And the

01:29:43.680 balls on these

01:29:44.840 Kennedys,

01:29:46.120 I saw Bill

01:29:47.040 Maher try to

01:29:48.540 bait RFK Jr.

01:29:50.300 into talking

01:29:50.980 about Bill's

01:29:52.040 theory that the

01:29:52.720 Kennedys do 1.00

01:29:53.580 risky things.

01:29:54.580 They do

01:29:55.460 dangerous stuff,

01:29:56.460 both for

01:29:57.340 entertainment and

01:29:58.300 in their

01:29:59.800 professional lives.

01:30:01.580 Well,

01:30:02.220 I mean,

01:30:02.480 RFK Jr.

01:30:03.240 is the perfect

01:30:03.900 example of that.

01:30:04.920 His entire

01:30:05.700 career before

01:30:07.200 now was

01:30:08.500 doing really

01:30:09.120 dangerous stuff,

01:30:10.460 going up against

01:30:11.160 Big Pharma.

01:30:12.600 How dangerous

01:30:13.560 is it to go up

01:30:14.440 against Big Pharma?

01:30:15.880 Well,

01:30:16.140 he found out

01:30:16.820 he got as

01:30:17.500 canceled as a

01:30:18.260 canceled person

01:30:18.860 could be.

01:30:19.620 And he went

01:30:20.160 from canceled to

01:30:21.020 running for

01:30:21.420 president.

01:30:21.800 So instead

01:30:23.280 of running

01:30:23.660 away,

01:30:24.060 he ran at

01:30:24.620 it.

01:30:26.160 Like,

01:30:26.420 the pillbox

01:30:27.580 is tearing

01:30:28.180 him apart,

01:30:29.200 and he's

01:30:30.020 running at

01:30:30.420 the pillbox

01:30:30.960 with a hand

01:30:31.400 grenade saying,

01:30:32.300 well,

01:30:32.540 we'll see how

01:30:32.960 this ends.

01:30:34.980 To me,

01:30:36.420 it looks like

01:30:36.840 it's me or

01:30:37.320 you.

01:30:38.640 He's not

01:30:39.220 saying these

01:30:39.720 words,

01:30:40.520 but RFK Jr.,

01:30:41.720 to me,

01:30:42.860 it looks like

01:30:44.260 he said,

01:30:44.660 I'm going to

01:30:44.980 die doing

01:30:46.200 this.

01:30:47.640 I think he

01:30:48.400 just offered

01:30:48.840 his life.

01:30:49.320 And

01:30:52.060 seriously.

01:30:53.160 I think he

01:30:53.900 seriously

01:30:54.540 offered his

01:30:55.420 life.

01:30:57.440 And I

01:30:57.780 think that

01:30:58.220 if he

01:30:58.580 got

01:30:58.880 assassinated

01:31:00.160 doing this,

01:31:01.960 he would

01:31:03.260 die happy

01:31:03.840 if it

01:31:04.700 meant that

01:31:05.360 we understood

01:31:05.900 the problem

01:31:06.420 and then

01:31:07.100 maybe did

01:31:07.700 something about

01:31:08.240 it.

01:31:09.360 I don't

01:31:09.620 know.

01:31:10.240 This is

01:31:10.760 the kind

01:31:11.000 of patriotism

01:31:11.760 I don't

01:31:12.120 think I

01:31:12.540 have ever

01:31:13.020 seen.

01:31:15.440 I'm

01:31:15.620 trying to

01:31:16.080 see if

01:31:16.340 there's a

01:31:16.620 this is

01:31:17.320 the highest

01:31:17.740 level of

01:31:18.500 pure

01:31:18.920 patriotism

01:31:19.740 I've

01:31:20.080 ever

01:31:20.400 witnessed.

01:31:21.580 Now,

01:31:21.880 I would

01:31:22.100 say that

01:31:22.460 Trump is

01:31:22.880 up there

01:31:23.180 too.

01:31:24.120 You know,

01:31:24.280 Trump may

01:31:24.700 have some

01:31:25.200 other things

01:31:26.160 going on,

01:31:26.960 but I

01:31:27.160 think Trump

01:31:27.560 is a

01:31:27.840 patriot.

01:31:28.960 And I

01:31:29.160 think that

01:31:29.620 his

01:31:29.900 possibly,

01:31:31.600 you know,

01:31:31.780 maybe his

01:31:32.220 co-biggest

01:31:33.140 incentive,

01:31:34.500 other than

01:31:35.000 he might

01:31:36.240 want to be

01:31:36.600 president,

01:31:37.460 I think his

01:31:38.080 co-biggest

01:31:38.760 incentive is

01:31:39.720 that he's

01:31:40.000 a patriot.

01:31:40.980 And he

01:31:41.460 took on

01:31:41.900 enormous

01:31:42.740 risk.

01:31:44.380 I mean,

01:31:44.600 the size

01:31:45.100 of the

01:31:45.380 risk that

01:31:46.180 Trump took

01:31:46.760 on to

01:31:47.200 enter

01:31:47.420 politics,

01:31:47.980 at that

01:31:48.760 level,

01:31:49.320 you've got

01:31:50.340 to appreciate

01:31:50.780 the risk

01:31:51.300 he took.

01:31:52.480 That's a

01:31:52.960 patriot.

01:31:53.940 That's the

01:31:54.540 real thing.

01:31:56.720 So to

01:31:57.320 have two

01:31:58.160 of those

01:31:58.520 in the

01:31:58.780 race,

01:32:00.280 two people

01:32:00.880 who I

01:32:01.280 would say

01:32:01.620 literally put

01:32:02.360 their life

01:32:02.880 on the

01:32:03.240 line to

01:32:04.580 make America

01:32:05.220 better.

01:32:06.840 Literally put

01:32:07.560 their life

01:32:07.900 on the line.

01:32:09.320 Now I

01:32:09.880 think Vivek is

01:32:10.740 a patriot at

01:32:11.900 the highest

01:32:12.240 level as well.

01:32:13.200 He doesn't

01:32:13.700 have the same

01:32:14.320 risk that

01:32:14.900 these two

01:32:15.320 had,

01:32:15.640 but boy

01:32:16.520 does he

01:32:16.820 have a

01:32:17.080 risk too.

01:32:18.300 He's lucky

01:32:18.880 that he

01:32:19.200 already

01:32:19.500 cashed down

01:32:20.620 his company

01:32:21.120 so he

01:32:21.960 got rid

01:32:22.260 of his

01:32:22.480 company

01:32:22.780 risk.

01:32:24.400 But his

01:32:25.100 reputational

01:32:25.780 risk is

01:32:26.340 extreme.

01:32:28.200 Extreme.

01:32:29.740 So these

01:32:30.520 are people

01:32:31.000 who are

01:32:31.360 really putting,

01:32:32.200 they're laying

01:32:32.680 it down

01:32:33.120 for the

01:32:33.480 country.

01:32:34.800 Somebody

01:32:35.160 said on

01:32:35.680 Twitter today

01:32:36.920 that I'm

01:32:37.720 too pessimistic.

01:32:39.520 And I think

01:32:39.840 maybe on

01:32:40.240 Twitter it

01:32:40.640 looks that

01:32:40.940 way because

01:32:41.480 the things

01:32:41.780 I tweet

01:32:42.200 tend to be

01:32:42.640 about problems.

01:32:43.300 But I'm

01:32:44.820 not that

01:32:45.160 way.

01:32:45.660 I'm actually

01:32:46.140 very optimistic.

01:32:47.760 I think there

01:32:48.240 are things

01:32:48.720 happening right

01:32:49.460 now in the

01:32:50.020 world that

01:32:51.220 are tremendous.

01:32:52.840 And this

01:32:53.420 is right at

01:32:53.860 the top of

01:32:54.340 the list.

01:32:55.660 This is the

01:32:56.280 best field

01:32:57.160 of candidates

01:32:57.760 in my

01:32:58.960 lifetime.

01:33:00.380 I'm not

01:33:00.860 saying there

01:33:01.320 wasn't maybe

01:33:02.540 you like

01:33:02.860 Reagan or

01:33:03.340 something.

01:33:04.100 But for a

01:33:04.860 field of

01:33:05.300 candidates,

01:33:06.480 this is

01:33:07.220 really impressive.

01:33:09.420 All right.

01:33:10.600 New way of

01:33:11.520 making fake

01:33:12.120 news.

01:33:12.480 This is

01:33:12.840 also an

01:33:13.560 RFK Jr.

01:33:14.420 story.

01:33:15.600 The ties

01:33:16.460 to method.

01:33:17.880 If you

01:33:18.180 want to

01:33:18.460 smear

01:33:18.740 somebody,

01:33:19.300 you say

01:33:19.560 they have

01:33:19.880 ties to

01:33:20.520 something

01:33:20.940 unsavory.

01:33:22.840 So this

01:33:23.260 is what

01:33:23.700 who did

01:33:24.340 this to

01:33:24.800 RFK Jr.

01:33:25.700 This was

01:33:26.440 some

01:33:29.200 illegitimate

01:33:30.000 publication.

01:33:32.920 Some

01:33:33.400 investigative

01:33:33.980 journalist.

01:33:34.620 I forget

01:33:34.880 who it

01:33:35.180 was.

01:33:35.560 Was it

01:33:36.100 Rolling

01:33:37.940 Stone?

01:33:39.360 Somebody

01:33:39.720 will tell

01:33:40.000 me.

01:33:40.440 Look in

01:33:40.900 the comments.

01:33:41.900 But anyway,

01:33:42.480 RFK Jr.

01:33:45.620 was accused

01:33:46.400 of having

01:33:46.840 ties to

01:33:47.760 the ultra

01:33:49.240 mega

01:33:49.600 Republicans.

01:33:51.540 Having

01:33:51.780 ties to

01:33:52.460 them.

01:33:53.120 Because that

01:33:53.460 would smear

01:33:53.940 him because

01:33:54.380 he has

01:33:54.620 ties to

01:33:55.260 the bad

01:33:55.620 guys.

01:33:56.800 Do you

01:33:57.000 know what

01:33:57.200 the ties

01:33:57.680 were?

01:33:59.260 Do you

01:33:59.460 have any

01:33:59.740 idea what

01:34:00.200 those close

01:34:00.920 ties were?

01:34:02.460 It looks

01:34:02.920 like in

01:34:03.280 some context

01:34:04.080 they used

01:34:04.460 the same

01:34:04.760 accounting

01:34:05.160 firm.

01:34:05.500 they used

01:34:08.420 the same

01:34:09.060 accounting

01:34:10.020 firm.

01:34:11.680 That was

01:34:12.080 the close

01:34:12.540 tie.

01:34:15.300 So

01:34:15.860 whenever you

01:34:16.420 hear that

01:34:16.780 somebody has

01:34:17.320 ties to

01:34:18.000 something,

01:34:19.540 your antenna

01:34:20.420 should go up

01:34:21.000 and go,

01:34:21.320 oh, that's

01:34:21.840 fake news.

01:34:23.000 That's

01:34:23.380 fake news.

01:34:24.240 Now, if

01:34:24.700 they had

01:34:24.980 said he's

01:34:27.240 working with

01:34:27.980 and he's

01:34:28.400 making policy

01:34:29.160 with,

01:34:30.100 maybe,

01:34:30.800 you know,

01:34:31.060 who knows.

01:34:31.420 But if

01:34:32.480 they say

01:34:32.920 his

01:34:33.660 organization

01:34:34.280 has ties

01:34:35.080 to this

01:34:35.740 unsavory

01:34:36.260 group,

01:34:37.780 fake news

01:34:38.780 should be

01:34:39.100 your first

01:34:39.720 instinct.

01:34:40.840 And then

01:34:41.220 the article

01:34:42.280 better work

01:34:43.080 pretty hard

01:34:43.560 to talk

01:34:44.000 you out

01:34:44.280 of it.

01:34:45.740 They had

01:34:46.020 the same

01:34:46.320 accounts.

01:34:47.460 So RFK

01:34:48.220 Jr.

01:34:48.760 says,

01:34:50.000 I interrupt

01:34:50.440 my normal

01:34:50.920 tweet stream

01:34:51.500 for a bit

01:34:51.880 of comedy.

01:34:52.740 It's so

01:34:53.260 ridiculous.

01:34:55.280 He goes,

01:34:56.680 blah, blah,

01:34:57.240 blah,

01:34:57.600 Rolling Stone.

01:34:58.640 Rolling Stone

01:34:59.660 and Congressional

01:35:00.540 Democrats are

01:35:01.220 irate about

01:35:02.540 a Kennedy

01:35:03.060 super PAC

01:35:03.840 having,

01:35:04.780 quote,

01:35:04.860 ties to

01:35:05.580 MAGA

01:35:06.300 Republicans.

01:35:08.140 Actually,

01:35:08.720 the,

01:35:09.060 quote,

01:35:09.180 ties are

01:35:10.120 that I

01:35:10.380 hired an

01:35:10.840 accounting

01:35:11.160 firm that

01:35:12.060 has also

01:35:12.520 done accounting

01:35:13.140 for other

01:35:13.620 PACs,

01:35:14.660 including

01:35:15.640 those of

01:35:16.980 Republicans.

01:35:18.000 Shocking,

01:35:18.540 isn't it?

01:35:19.280 I hope they

01:35:19.860 continue this

01:35:20.520 bold investigative

01:35:21.560 journalism.

01:35:22.660 They might

01:35:23.060 discover other

01:35:24.700 ties.

01:35:25.780 Maybe they

01:35:26.380 use the

01:35:26.800 same janitorial

01:35:27.820 services,

01:35:28.800 too.

01:35:28.900 I tell

01:35:31.460 you,

01:35:31.680 mocking is

01:35:32.300 the way

01:35:32.580 to go.

01:35:34.320 Mocking

01:35:34.760 is the

01:35:35.120 way to

01:35:35.320 go.

01:35:35.540 So,

01:35:35.740 again,

01:35:36.000 that was

01:35:36.260 perfectly

01:35:36.860 phrased.

01:35:40.020 Jonathan

01:35:40.500 Turley is

01:35:41.100 writing about

01:35:41.780 all the

01:35:42.440 Democrats

01:35:42.940 who now

01:35:44.580 want to

01:35:44.980 over,

01:35:45.540 basically

01:35:46.380 ignore the

01:35:47.040 rulings of

01:35:47.480 the Supreme

01:35:47.940 Court because

01:35:48.600 they don't

01:35:48.900 like them.

01:35:50.460 Apparently,

01:35:51.080 there were

01:35:51.280 two professors,

01:35:52.560 a Harvard

01:35:52.920 law professor

01:35:53.720 and an

01:35:54.440 SF State

01:35:55.100 University

01:35:56.140 professor,

01:35:56.640 calling on

01:35:58.180 Joe Biden

01:35:58.960 to defy

01:36:00.500 the rulings

01:36:01.040 of the

01:36:01.320 Supreme

01:36:01.620 Court if

01:36:03.200 he considers

01:36:03.800 the rulings

01:36:04.600 mistaken.

01:36:07.660 Can you

01:36:08.440 believe that

01:36:08.940 this even

01:36:09.400 happened?

01:36:10.760 That there

01:36:11.520 are two

01:36:11.820 college

01:36:12.240 professors,

01:36:13.000 one from

01:36:13.520 Harvard,

01:36:14.920 who are

01:36:15.780 actually saying

01:36:16.620 that the

01:36:16.980 president should

01:36:17.700 ignore the

01:36:18.380 Supreme

01:36:18.700 Court,

01:36:20.280 you know,

01:36:20.520 the whole

01:36:21.040 basis for

01:36:22.400 what makes

01:36:22.860 the Constitution

01:36:23.500 work,

01:36:24.320 the separation

01:36:24.900 of powers,

01:36:25.420 that he

01:36:26.360 should ignore

01:36:26.900 the separation

01:36:27.580 of powers,

01:36:28.680 the single

01:36:29.300 most important

01:36:30.040 thing that

01:36:30.500 keeps the

01:36:30.860 country together.

01:36:33.480 The single

01:36:34.220 most important

01:36:34.800 thing,

01:36:35.520 and he

01:36:35.800 should

01:36:35.940 ignore it.

01:36:37.640 And that's

01:36:38.880 like a real

01:36:39.300 thing.

01:36:39.920 Do I even,

01:36:40.620 I don't need

01:36:41.080 to tell you

01:36:41.520 why it's a

01:36:41.880 bad idea,

01:36:42.400 right?

01:36:42.660 We can skip

01:36:43.420 the whole

01:36:43.920 counter-argument,

01:36:45.260 right?

01:36:46.060 Agreed?

01:36:47.320 Will you all

01:36:47.880 stipulate that

01:36:49.080 it's so stupid

01:36:49.780 I don't have

01:36:50.220 to say anything

01:36:50.740 about it?

01:36:52.000 But apparently

01:36:53.300 there are a

01:36:53.740 number of

01:36:54.080 Democrats and

01:36:54.700 other people

01:36:55.140 who are

01:36:55.440 backing the

01:36:55.960 same idea,

01:36:57.060 that if you

01:36:57.600 don't get

01:36:57.980 what you

01:36:58.240 want,

01:36:59.040 you can

01:36:59.440 ignore the

01:36:59.920 Constitution.

01:37:01.700 And they're

01:37:02.300 talking about

01:37:02.780 it out loud

01:37:03.500 in public

01:37:04.900 like they're

01:37:05.420 proud of it.

01:37:07.480 How did we

01:37:08.220 get here?

01:37:09.880 It's so dumb.

01:37:11.380 This is like

01:37:11.900 they never

01:37:12.360 learned how

01:37:14.180 the Constitution

01:37:14.700 worked,

01:37:15.700 but I mean

01:37:16.080 it's a Harvard

01:37:16.620 law professor.

01:37:18.380 So clearly

01:37:20.260 they prefer the

01:37:21.160 power over the

01:37:22.300 constitutional

01:37:23.820 system.

01:37:27.100 All right.

01:37:29.780 Speaking of

01:37:30.580 Thomas Massey,

01:37:32.160 he tweeted

01:37:34.920 this.

01:37:36.540 He said

01:37:36.840 the Department

01:37:37.400 of Homeland

01:37:37.780 Services,

01:37:39.120 Department of

01:37:40.480 Homeland,

01:37:41.200 what's the S?

01:37:43.120 Department of

01:37:43.900 Homeland

01:37:44.160 Services?

01:37:45.740 The S is for 1.00

01:37:48.120 what?

01:37:49.200 Security.

01:37:49.720 Department of

01:37:51.380 Homeland Security

01:37:52.080 said that

01:37:53.740 misleading

01:37:54.480 COVID-19

01:37:55.400 narratives

01:37:56.040 inspired

01:37:57.120 domestic

01:37:57.640 terrorists. 0.53

01:37:59.540 All right.

01:37:59.780 So the

01:38:00.160 Department of

01:38:00.680 Homeland Security,

01:38:02.420 they're protecting

01:38:03.160 us.

01:38:04.140 So this is our

01:38:04.800 government protecting

01:38:05.680 us.

01:38:06.000 And they're

01:38:06.500 worried that

01:38:07.760 misleading COVID

01:38:09.340 information

01:38:09.880 narratives would

01:38:11.060 make more

01:38:12.440 domestic terrorists.

01:38:13.380 So as Thomas

01:38:15.100 Massey points

01:38:15.640 out in his

01:38:16.060 tweet,

01:38:16.480 what were some

01:38:16.980 of those

01:38:17.220 examples?

01:38:18.060 What were some

01:38:18.980 of those so-called 0.84

01:38:20.240 narratives that

01:38:21.400 were going to

01:38:21.740 cause some kind

01:38:22.400 of domestic

01:38:22.820 terrorism?

01:38:23.680 So he lists

01:38:24.180 them.

01:38:24.820 Natural immunity

01:38:25.660 is real.

01:38:28.940 Vaccinations

01:38:29.460 don't stop the

01:38:30.400 spread.

01:38:32.760 Most masks

01:38:33.940 don't work.

01:38:37.320 Most masks

01:38:38.320 don't work.

01:38:40.100 I love

01:38:40.920 Thomas Massey.

01:38:42.500 He's the only

01:38:43.140 one smart enough

01:38:43.900 to put the

01:38:44.320 word most.

01:38:46.320 The rest of

01:38:47.060 you are like,

01:38:47.580 masks don't

01:38:48.000 work.

01:38:49.300 And then I

01:38:50.200 have a heart

01:38:50.620 attack.

01:38:51.540 I go,

01:38:51.840 come on,

01:38:52.280 you can't say

01:38:52.720 that's not an

01:38:53.260 absolute.

01:38:55.360 You tell me

01:38:56.000 if you wore

01:38:56.420 your N95 for

01:38:58.180 a two-minute

01:38:58.700 interaction with

01:38:59.600 your 80-year-old

01:39:00.200 grandmother,

01:39:01.000 it wouldn't

01:39:01.540 give you

01:39:01.840 anything.

01:39:03.140 Nothing at

01:39:03.780 all.

01:39:05.360 All right.

01:39:06.200 I'm anti-mask,

01:39:07.400 by the way.

01:39:07.820 Very anti-mask.

01:39:09.220 But I love

01:39:09.880 that Massey is

01:39:10.940 smart enough to

01:39:11.580 say most

01:39:12.100 masks don't

01:39:12.760 work.

01:39:13.240 I would have

01:39:13.720 added most

01:39:14.280 masks don't

01:39:14.840 work in

01:39:16.560 99% of

01:39:17.640 situations.

01:39:18.900 But in

01:39:19.300 the narrowest

01:39:21.080 of situations,

01:39:22.620 maybe a little

01:39:23.660 bit,

01:39:24.440 just not

01:39:24.900 enough to

01:39:25.200 have a

01:39:25.440 mandate.

01:39:27.940 Mandates are 0.91

01:39:28.600 unconstitutional,

01:39:29.760 people were

01:39:30.280 saying,

01:39:30.680 and the virus

01:39:31.140 came from

01:39:31.500 a Chinese

01:39:31.940 lab.

01:39:32.840 So basically

01:39:33.340 five examples

01:39:34.300 of things that

01:39:35.200 the conspiracy

01:39:38.040 theorists got

01:39:38.920 right,

01:39:39.320 right, and

01:39:40.260 they're not

01:39:40.620 random things.

01:39:42.460 They're the

01:39:42.860 five most

01:39:44.460 important things.

01:39:46.640 Aren't they?

01:39:47.600 Aren't they

01:39:48.160 literally the

01:39:48.960 most important

01:39:49.760 things?

01:39:50.640 They got them

01:39:51.140 all right.

01:39:52.680 Just remember

01:39:53.320 that.

01:39:55.660 And how about

01:39:56.480 this?

01:39:57.000 Rand Paul is

01:39:57.860 tweeting that

01:39:59.800 the government

01:40:00.480 quote science,

01:40:02.060 that's right,

01:40:02.720 a sitting

01:40:04.420 senator just

01:40:06.220 put quotes

01:40:07.120 around the

01:40:08.620 word science

01:40:09.780 and I have

01:40:11.640 no argument

01:40:12.160 with it.

01:40:13.380 No argument

01:40:14.140 at all.

01:40:15.360 And he

01:40:15.560 goes on,

01:40:16.360 government

01:40:16.760 science

01:40:17.660 published a

01:40:18.820 study purporting

01:40:19.640 that 90%

01:40:20.800 reduction in

01:40:21.480 death from

01:40:21.960 COVID if

01:40:22.660 you boost

01:40:24.480 with the

01:40:24.780 vaccine.

01:40:25.620 The only

01:40:25.980 problem,

01:40:27.020 the authors

01:40:27.460 of the study

01:40:27.920 failed to

01:40:28.480 reveal that

01:40:29.740 the, I

01:40:30.640 think he

01:40:30.860 has a typo

01:40:31.880 here, I

01:40:32.520 think he

01:40:32.780 means the

01:40:33.160 unboosted

01:40:34.260 group also

01:40:34.880 had a 90%

01:40:35.740 reduction in

01:40:36.560 deaths from

01:40:37.460 all causes.

01:40:38.840 In other

01:40:39.180 words, the

01:40:40.140 patient group

01:40:40.920 were not equal

01:40:41.800 to begin

01:40:42.300 with and

01:40:43.460 the booster

01:40:43.940 vaccine may

01:40:44.860 or may not

01:40:45.460 have had

01:40:45.940 any effect.

01:40:48.880 That's

01:40:49.440 right.

01:40:51.300 It might

01:40:52.080 not have

01:40:52.400 had any

01:40:53.940 effect, at

01:40:55.240 least based

01:40:55.580 on the

01:40:55.860 data.

01:40:58.540 And then

01:40:59.020 Rand Paul

01:40:59.840 goes on,

01:41:00.280 he goes,

01:41:00.520 this insightful

01:41:01.140 critique is

01:41:01.860 exactly what

01:41:02.660 the FBI and

01:41:04.140 Department of

01:41:04.620 Homeland Security

01:41:05.300 have been

01:41:06.180 attempting to

01:41:06.880 censor.

01:41:08.320 Only this

01:41:09.060 time it

01:41:09.380 made it into

01:41:09.880 the New

01:41:10.180 England Journal

01:41:10.780 of Medicine.

01:41:13.020 So the

01:41:13.740 New England

01:41:14.520 Journal of

01:41:15.020 Medicine can

01:41:15.600 print it,

01:41:16.740 but all the

01:41:17.380 other people

01:41:18.180 who said it

01:41:18.560 was obvious,

01:41:19.840 they couldn't

01:41:20.500 say it.

01:41:20.860 I guess they

01:41:21.200 didn't have

01:41:21.460 enough science

01:41:22.060 backing them.

01:41:23.400 But can

01:41:24.120 you imagine

01:41:24.680 that the

01:41:26.060 whole, pretty

01:41:27.200 much the

01:41:27.640 whole argument

01:41:28.880 for boosting

01:41:29.640 came from

01:41:31.080 people who

01:41:31.640 couldn't read

01:41:32.300 science.

01:41:34.160 They didn't

01:41:34.840 know what

01:41:35.140 the study

01:41:35.560 did or

01:41:36.040 said,

01:41:36.500 didn't know

01:41:36.780 how to

01:41:36.980 design it

01:41:37.500 right.

01:41:38.240 And even

01:41:38.680 the author

01:41:39.400 of the

01:41:39.720 study said,

01:41:40.440 oops, yeah,

01:41:41.000 you're right.

01:41:42.520 Imagine that.

01:41:43.380 The author

01:41:43.940 of the study,

01:41:45.320 once it was

01:41:45.900 pointed out

01:41:46.460 that it was

01:41:47.160 a ridiculous

01:41:47.820 study,

01:41:48.800 said, oh,

01:41:49.600 yeah, well,

01:41:50.020 that's true.

01:41:50.300 And we

01:41:52.860 set our

01:41:53.300 policy on

01:41:54.000 that.

01:41:55.220 We

01:41:55.500 determined

01:41:55.940 our

01:41:56.220 policy on

01:41:56.940 that.

01:41:58.340 Are you

01:41:58.780 ever going

01:41:59.200 to trust

01:41:59.580 another

01:42:00.020 study about

01:42:01.360 anything?

01:42:03.020 Amazing.

01:42:05.000 So,

01:42:05.860 there's another

01:42:06.720 competence

01:42:07.260 problem.

01:42:10.300 And

01:42:10.940 apparently the

01:42:11.460 new news

01:42:11.920 on Hunter

01:42:12.360 Biden is

01:42:13.100 that, I

01:42:14.600 guess,

01:42:15.080 who's the

01:42:15.660 Archer,

01:42:17.980 who is the,

01:42:19.080 Devin Archer

01:42:19.720 was the

01:42:20.060 partner with

01:42:20.620 Hunter

01:42:20.980 Biden.

01:42:21.820 Apparently he's

01:42:22.600 going to

01:42:22.920 testify, or

01:42:23.640 already has,

01:42:24.340 that Hunter

01:42:25.020 Biden

01:42:25.420 participated in

01:42:28.500 over two

01:42:29.320 dozen calls

01:42:30.240 in which his

01:42:30.980 father was on

01:42:31.640 the call for

01:42:32.920 these businesses

01:42:33.660 that Joe

01:42:34.660 Biden says he

01:42:35.360 had no

01:42:35.700 knowledge of.

01:42:36.960 That's right.

01:42:38.120 There are

01:42:38.500 25 instances

01:42:39.840 or so,

01:42:41.760 24 or so,

01:42:43.100 instances of,

01:42:45.980 we have good

01:42:46.720 information from

01:42:47.680 Devin Archer

01:42:48.380 that Joe

01:42:49.880 Biden was

01:42:50.480 on the

01:42:50.820 calls.

01:42:54.540 24 times

01:42:55.620 ish.

01:42:56.800 And he

01:42:57.120 said he

01:42:57.440 had no

01:42:57.800 idea of

01:42:58.300 what his

01:42:59.220 son was

01:42:59.580 doing.

01:43:00.340 And that

01:43:00.840 they were

01:43:01.100 just overtly

01:43:02.140 selling access.

01:43:04.800 Now, of

01:43:05.620 course, Devin

01:43:06.060 is facing

01:43:06.800 jail.

01:43:08.620 So,

01:43:09.540 I would

01:43:10.860 want to be

01:43:11.340 careful that

01:43:11.940 he didn't

01:43:12.300 work out any

01:43:12.940 kind of a

01:43:13.400 deal.

01:43:15.040 But I

01:43:15.560 haven't heard

01:43:15.900 that.

01:43:16.580 So you

01:43:16.920 don't want

01:43:17.400 Devin

01:43:17.700 Archer

01:43:18.000 testifying

01:43:18.820 about anybody

01:43:19.480 else if

01:43:20.080 he's worked

01:43:20.500 out a

01:43:20.860 deal.

01:43:21.640 Because that

01:43:21.980 means he

01:43:22.360 might have

01:43:22.720 an incentive

01:43:23.200 to lie.

01:43:24.520 So I

01:43:24.980 would be

01:43:25.300 careful about

01:43:25.860 that.

01:43:26.580 I would be

01:43:26.940 careful about

01:43:27.540 anybody who's

01:43:28.340 looking at

01:43:28.880 jail time for

01:43:30.400 his own

01:43:30.800 work talking

01:43:32.100 about anybody

01:43:32.580 else.

01:43:34.560 But I guess

01:43:35.280 we're going to

01:43:35.560 hear about that

01:43:36.300 pretty soon.

01:43:36.820 And this

01:43:39.940 question of

01:43:40.460 whether Joe

01:43:41.500 Biden fired

01:43:43.960 the prosecutor

01:43:44.800 who was

01:43:45.280 looking after

01:43:45.760 the Burisma

01:43:46.340 stuff, do

01:43:47.480 you think

01:43:47.800 that Joe

01:43:48.140 Biden fired

01:43:48.760 him just

01:43:49.320 to protect

01:43:50.100 Hunter and

01:43:51.560 Burisma, or 0.95

01:43:53.040 did he fire

01:43:53.640 him because

01:43:54.020 the international

01:43:54.740 community was

01:43:55.640 asking him to

01:43:56.300 fire him?

01:43:57.000 Because both

01:43:57.620 were true.

01:43:59.220 So apparently

01:43:59.760 both were

01:44:04.320 true.

01:44:05.480 That it

01:44:05.960 was true

01:44:06.460 that the

01:44:06.820 international

01:44:07.240 community was

01:44:07.940 asking for

01:44:08.380 that same

01:44:08.740 guy to be

01:44:09.180 fired.

01:44:10.380 And it

01:44:10.700 was also

01:44:11.220 true that

01:44:12.760 Burisma's 0.95

01:44:13.640 senior

01:44:14.080 management,

01:44:14.860 this is the

01:44:15.420 new information,

01:44:16.520 Burisma's 0.95

01:44:17.080 senior executive,

01:44:17.940 at least one

01:44:18.340 of them,

01:44:19.240 very much

01:44:20.420 wanted,

01:44:21.320 they actually

01:44:22.040 tried and

01:44:22.660 it's documented

01:44:23.360 to get

01:44:24.420 Hunter to

01:44:25.580 use his

01:44:25.980 connections to

01:44:27.480 get that guy 0.98

01:44:28.120 fired.

01:44:29.120 So I'm a

01:44:30.240 little confused.

01:44:31.360 If the

01:44:31.720 international

01:44:32.160 community wanted

01:44:33.060 this guy fired,

01:44:34.580 that sounds like

01:44:35.360 it's legitimate.

01:44:36.460 And if

01:44:37.500 Joe Biden

01:44:39.460 did it for

01:44:39.980 any reason

01:44:40.640 at all,

01:44:42.060 but also the

01:44:43.000 international

01:44:43.460 community wanted

01:44:44.360 it done for

01:44:45.100 their good

01:44:45.500 reasons,

01:44:46.860 he's in the

01:44:47.320 clear,

01:44:48.080 at least on

01:44:48.820 that.

01:44:49.780 To me,

01:44:50.380 it wouldn't

01:44:50.700 matter that

01:44:51.400 there's also

01:44:52.000 somebody in the

01:44:52.640 company who

01:44:53.100 wanted him

01:44:53.480 gone,

01:44:54.020 because you

01:44:54.540 know somebody

01:44:55.020 in the

01:44:55.240 company wants

01:44:55.760 him gone,

01:44:56.900 and you know

01:44:57.440 they would try

01:44:57.880 to make it

01:44:58.260 happen if they

01:44:58.940 could.

01:44:59.100 So I don't

01:45:00.040 know how

01:45:00.340 to,

01:45:01.160 is it

01:45:02.000 possible both

01:45:02.760 are true?

01:45:03.980 And what does

01:45:04.440 that tell you?

01:45:05.560 It's true that

01:45:06.140 the international

01:45:06.800 community thought

01:45:07.640 the prosecutor

01:45:08.220 was bad,

01:45:10.320 but it may

01:45:11.140 also be true

01:45:11.980 that he's going

01:45:12.560 after somebody

01:45:13.240 that you're

01:45:13.760 protecting.

01:45:15.600 So he could

01:45:16.460 be bad,

01:45:17.140 but also doing

01:45:17.760 something that

01:45:18.320 wasn't necessarily

01:45:19.080 bad for once.

01:45:22.420 It's a little

01:45:23.080 confusing.

01:45:23.920 I'm not sure

01:45:24.420 anything is going

01:45:25.100 to hang on

01:45:25.580 this,

01:45:26.940 you know,

01:45:27.400 the firing of

01:45:28.300 the prosecutor,

01:45:29.100 but it's very

01:45:29.760 sketchy.

01:45:30.840 It's very

01:45:31.240 sketchy.

01:45:33.800 All right,

01:45:34.560 that,

01:45:35.460 ladies and 0.98

01:45:35.780 gentlemen,

01:45:37.440 concludes what

01:45:38.720 must be called

01:45:39.480 the best podcast

01:45:41.420 you've ever,

01:45:41.820 oh shit.

01:45:44.880 Well,

01:45:45.360 that went

01:45:45.640 pretty long.

01:45:46.680 All right,

01:45:46.960 I didn't know

01:45:47.280 I was going

01:45:47.700 that long.

01:45:48.620 I have

01:45:49.460 something blocking

01:45:50.140 my clock.

01:45:51.520 I normally

01:45:52.220 don't do that

01:45:52.780 because I'm

01:45:53.060 looking at a

01:45:53.500 clock,

01:45:54.260 but there's

01:45:54.580 something in

01:45:54.980 front of it

01:45:55.380 today.

01:45:56.220 So sorry I

01:45:56.740 went long,

01:45:57.160 but I'm sure

01:45:57.680 it was the

01:45:58.120 exact thing

01:45:58.580 you needed

01:45:58.960 today.

01:45:59.640 Probably the

01:46:00.180 best thing

01:46:00.520 you've ever

01:46:00.840 seen in your

01:46:01.280 life.

01:46:01.800 YouTube,

01:46:02.280 thanks for

01:46:02.640 joining.

01:46:03.520 I'll talk

01:46:03.960 to you tomorrow.

01:46:04.460 I'll talk to you tomorrow.
