Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2183 Scott Adams： All The Fake Summer News you Love To Enjoy With Coffee

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:07.800 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I don't think there's been a better time in your whole life.

00:00:14.500 And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels, which nobody's ever experienced before,

00:00:19.640 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or gel, Sir Stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:26.060 All right. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:30.320 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:35.340 It's called Simultaneous Sip. Go.

00:00:43.940 You know, I was wondering, has anybody chopped up any parts of their homemade bacon today?

00:00:50.900 Is anybody making homemade bacon today?

00:00:53.840 No, I saw it in the comments.

00:00:56.060 Yes, I was very curious about your bacon, but I think all questions have been answered.

00:01:02.840 All right, let's talk about all the fake BS in the news.

00:01:08.240 I call this next section, Why No One Should Go to Harvard.

00:01:14.120 No one should go to Harvard.

00:01:15.560 If you've followed the news at all for the last several years, I shouldn't need to finish the point.

00:01:22.560 But believe it or not, there's new reason not to go to Harvard.

00:01:26.760 Are you ready for this?

00:01:27.700 There's a Harvard leadership expert named Bill George who says that Elon Musk's Twitter rebrands suggest that he is, quote,

00:01:39.560 totally out of his element, says Harvard leadership expert Bill George.

00:01:44.840 Quote, if he had to write a case study on an example of a really poor takeover of an organization,

00:01:52.160 Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter would fit that perfectly well, George,

00:01:56.380 an executive fellow at Harvard Business School, leadership author and former CEO, tells CNBC.

00:02:02.300 And then he goes on to say, quote, I don't think he understands social media.

00:02:11.580 Oh, my God.

00:02:16.720 What do you even say to that?

00:02:19.820 Who would send their kid to a school that has people like that in charge? 0.58

00:02:24.580 Do I even need to finish the point?

00:02:27.440 Does anybody need me to say, let me just say the obvious.

00:02:32.300 If any of you knew what Musk should or should not do in any given situation,

00:02:42.100 you would be richer than him.

00:02:45.500 He's literally the most successful non-traditional manager of all time.

00:02:55.000 Of all time.

00:02:56.320 Versus this guy who's a leadership guy at Harvard who probably is not in the top 10 richest people in the world.

00:03:05.320 Probably not.

00:03:07.080 So, I don't think that Elon Musk could be better for Twitter.

00:03:14.940 To me, he seems the perfect fit.

00:03:17.180 If you look at his tweets, it's obvious that he understands at least Twitter.

00:03:21.680 I mean, Musk understands he had a tweet better than anybody since Trump.

00:03:26.980 He was one of the best tweeters of all time.

00:03:29.840 That's not an accident.

00:03:31.980 It's not just because he's interesting and because he owns Twitter.

00:03:35.840 He's also an amazing, amazing tweeter.

00:03:40.500 Or whatever he wants to call it these days.

00:03:42.480 So, I don't know.

00:03:46.060 I just, when I see anybody tell me that they can do what Elon Musk does but do it better,

00:03:53.700 I just shake my head.

00:03:55.620 I go, ah, prove it.

00:03:59.740 Prove it.

00:04:01.000 Do you think he could do better than that?

00:04:03.120 Let's see what you can do.

00:04:04.160 All right, well, UFOs are still not real.

00:04:09.440 You know, how much time did Congress spend on the most ridiculous thing in the world?

00:04:17.200 Looking into UFOs.

00:04:19.260 Can you think of anything, I don't know, anything in the world that maybe Congress could have been working on

00:04:26.320 that would have been more value than looking into the UFO whistleblower?

00:04:30.880 How many of you believe that UFOs are real based on the stories from the whistleblower?

00:04:39.040 Well, let's put it this way.

00:04:40.160 Forget about whether UFOs are real.

00:04:42.020 Do you think the whistleblower story is real?

00:04:44.640 How many believe the whistleblower?

00:04:48.660 It's all no, right?

00:04:51.040 I was watching him again, and he is the least credible-looking person you'll ever see.

00:04:57.740 I mean, he just has a presentation style that says, I don't know.

00:05:02.460 That doesn't look real to me.

00:05:04.320 Not any of you.

00:05:05.580 All right, well, I have the, once again, I think I can claim I have the smartest audience.

00:05:11.920 Do you think that the average audience would all say no?

00:05:15.980 Because I don't think so.

00:05:17.800 I think you would get at least half of the people saying, I think it might be.

00:05:21.380 I think it might be.

00:05:22.040 I think this audience is just way more tuned into what's bullshit.

00:05:28.020 Would you agree?

00:05:29.300 Do you think that's true?

00:05:30.700 That this audience can spot BS better than other audiences?

00:05:35.040 You know, other groups of people?

00:05:37.920 I think so.

00:05:39.560 To me, it seems very true.

00:05:41.280 Because it's what we talk about all the time.

00:05:42.860 All right, how about, have you seen the grainy pictures of Purgosian, allegedly, in Belarus?

00:05:54.680 So it turns out that the best images you can get of Purgosian are worse than the best, or I guess they're worse than the bad UFO pictures.

00:06:10.400 So there's a picture of him that's so bad you can only see him in a silhouette at night.

00:06:14.820 And I'm thinking, that's the best picture of him after all these days, or the best video.

00:06:23.360 It's the best video of him after all these days is one you can't even make out for sure if it's him or where he is.

00:06:30.120 But there's that other photograph.

00:06:31.940 That's the best video they have.

00:06:33.840 But a photograph of him shaking hands with one African leader guy when it looks like he wasn't really working because he was in his blue jeans.

00:06:42.020 Do you think that's current?

00:06:44.820 Or staged, possibly?

00:06:48.060 Now, I don't necessarily think he's dead.

00:06:52.040 Because it would make more sense to keep him alive and just keep interrogating him and make sure you know everything he knows.

00:06:59.480 But I don't believe for a moment that was a current and non-staged picture.

00:07:05.960 And I don't believe for a moment those grainy pictures of him reviewing the troops in Belarus.

00:07:12.140 I don't think any of that's true.

00:07:13.680 How many of you think that Purgosian is, let's say, alive and just living his best life in Russia?

00:07:23.720 Does anybody think that's true?

00:07:25.300 Because CNN is acting like it might be true.

00:07:28.100 They're reporting it like, well, you know, we're not positive, but it kind of looks like there he is.

00:07:33.640 So, I'm going to call that about as likely as the UFOs.

00:07:41.460 CNN also has a study.

00:07:46.460 They're reporting that the best exercise to reduce your blood pressure is isometric.

00:07:55.220 So, they used to think that cardio was the best and maybe lifting, but isometric where you press against yourself.

00:08:04.460 You know, you're using your own muscles against your own muscles.

00:08:08.260 Or you're pressing against a wall or something, trying to stand up.

00:08:12.100 But anything where you're just doing isometrics.

00:08:15.740 Now, does that sound real?

00:08:17.880 Does that sound credible to you?

00:08:19.580 You think that's true?

00:08:24.480 So, here's how they determined it was true.

00:08:28.320 Something called a meta-analysis.

00:08:32.580 They did a meta-analysis of existing studies.

00:08:36.600 And they teased that out of the data.

00:08:39.880 Don't you think that CNN has an obligation?

00:08:43.120 Since CNN...

00:08:44.780 You tell me if this is true.

00:08:46.180 Is it true or not the CNN has all the guests who say those other people need to follow the science?

00:08:54.180 Am I right?

00:08:55.300 They're the ones always lecturing us, us meaning anybody else, about you're not following the science.

00:09:02.880 But the science says you got to follow the science.

00:09:06.680 And then they report their story.

00:09:08.800 And they say it's based on a meta-analysis.

00:09:12.260 Do you think that they understand science well enough to know that a meta-analysis is basically astrology?

00:09:19.940 Do you think they had an obligation to tell their audience a meta-analysis is not science?

00:09:26.720 And you all know why?

00:09:28.380 Meta-analysis is where you look at all the sketchy studies.

00:09:31.860 But then you decide which ones are in and which ones are out.

00:09:35.640 Because in your opinion, some of them are just too bad.

00:09:38.980 Well, other ones are bad, but not too bad.

00:09:40.920 And then maybe one of the studies is really big.

00:09:44.600 And it biases everything.

00:09:47.740 So it didn't even matter if there were any small ones.

00:09:50.040 Because really it ended up being just the same as if they looked at one study that wasn't reliable.

00:09:55.600 Meta-analysis is not real.

00:09:57.820 In the sense that it does not produce a scientific outcome.

00:10:01.980 It's closer to the subjective process.

00:10:05.280 Don't you think CNN should tell its audience that meta-analysis is not exactly science?

00:10:14.240 Right?

00:10:14.880 That seems basic.

00:10:16.340 Well, there's this study and they came out with this outcome.

00:10:19.220 But we should warn you that a meta-analysis is not exactly science.

00:10:23.960 That seems basic.

00:10:25.220 But no, that's not there.

00:10:26.340 Now, as you know, the biggest story in the world right now is that the Biden crime family has been completely uncovered.

00:10:38.160 At this point, the entire public can see from beginning to end that it was a criminal family enterprise.

00:10:44.720 And we know exactly how they got their money and there's pretty good evidence that it was held in, you know, hidden in shell companies and various banks.

00:10:53.120 And they didn't pay taxes in every case and all that.

00:10:56.480 So you'd think that'd be the biggest story on CNN.

00:10:59.060 Am I right?

00:11:00.560 If I went to the CNN page, they'd be all about that because I've never heard a bigger story.

00:11:04.860 That's about as big a story as you could possibly get.

00:11:08.020 Yeah.

00:11:08.820 Not so much.

00:11:11.300 Let's see.

00:11:12.000 One of the stories about the Hunter Biden situation is the plea deal fell apart.

00:11:23.400 So let's talk about what might happen next.

00:11:28.180 Does that sound like it covers the depth and breadth of what we saw?

00:11:33.860 Well, the plea deal fell apart.

00:11:35.360 Let's talk about what might happen next.

00:11:39.320 It sounds like they're really going right at this, aren't they?

00:11:42.000 But that's not all.

00:11:43.360 That's not all.

00:11:45.080 They do talk about why the so-called sweetheart deal fell apart, which they don't call a sweetheart deal, which is weird.

00:11:53.000 It's funny.

00:11:53.400 It seems like a lot of people do, but they don't refer to it as a sweetheart deal.

00:11:58.320 In fact, they said that this was actually on CNN.

00:12:02.980 I'm not making this up.

00:12:04.880 This might sound like I'm making it up.

00:12:06.600 I'm not making this up.

00:12:08.360 CNN had a guy in there reporting that the Hunter Biden sweetheart deal, that they don't call a sweetheart deal, fell apart because the judge realized it was not really fair to Hunter.

00:12:22.840 Seriously.

00:12:24.680 Seriously.

00:12:25.120 If you were watching CNN, you would believe that the Hunter Biden deal, the plea deal fell apart because it wasn't fair enough to Hunter.

00:12:36.540 That was actually, literally, I'm not making that up.

00:12:41.300 That's actually what CNN is reporting.

00:12:43.460 Now, reporting it as one person's opinion about what happened, but fell apart because it wasn't fair to poor Hunter.

00:12:52.680 That's what happened there.

00:12:55.380 Does that blow your mind?

00:12:57.780 Is your head just...

00:12:59.460 No.

00:13:02.300 No, it doesn't blow your mind because we've been trained to be used to it.

00:13:07.760 We have been trained to put our hand on the electric fence, and when it shocks us, we just keep it there.

00:13:18.980 Yeah, we're just conditioned to anything, which we'll talk about in a moment.

00:13:27.740 But CNN is all about the new Trump charges.

00:13:30.820 Oh, let me tell you, when you thought there was going to be a story about the grand jury doesn't look like they're going to add charges for trying to overcome...

00:13:42.460 I don't...

00:13:43.140 There's so many Trump illegitimate-looking probes that I get them confused.

00:13:50.800 But one of them looks like there won't be charges from a grand jury,

00:13:54.000 but then, coincidentally, just when the news cycle needed it, at exactly the right time, some charges were added to the box gate.

00:14:04.260 That's right.

00:14:05.160 Box gate got a little more attention today, the secret boxes, because the news cycle wasn't going the right way.

00:14:14.440 So now box gate gets extra charges.

00:14:16.320 But it might make a difference, these extra charges, because it includes another staff member who might be part of, allegedly,

00:14:26.260 Trump's request to remove or delete stuff from the server.

00:14:32.020 Now, if you were Trump, and you knew that there was people coming and they might want to look at your video cameras,

00:14:39.720 and you didn't want anybody to see your video cameras, not necessarily because of this crime,

00:14:46.320 Do you know what I'm talking about?

00:14:48.600 Do you think Trump has more than one reason to not want people to see all of his video security in Mar-a-Lago?

00:14:56.420 Yes, there's more than one reason he doesn't want people to see the security cameras.

00:15:01.820 As in privacy?

00:15:04.640 Privacy?

00:15:06.160 What about personal privacy?

00:15:08.260 Isn't that a really, really, really good reason to not want anybody to see your entire video cameras from an entire period?

00:15:17.320 Who would want that? 0.89

00:15:19.560 So, given what we know about, let's say, Hillary deleting her servers, 1.00

00:15:24.940 if you were Trump, and you thought,

00:15:27.740 OK, I don't know what there is on there about boxes or anything else,

00:15:31.660 but I definitely don't want anybody to see all of my security

00:15:34.880 for all the people that I've interacted with for this entire period.

00:15:39.080 I definitely don't want that.

00:15:40.320 So, do you think it would be a good risk to tell your staff to delete it before it would normally be deleted on its own?

00:15:49.540 Would that be a good risk?

00:15:52.760 Would that be unwise to take that risk?

00:15:55.320 I feel like it was a good risk.

00:16:00.320 I feel like I might have done it in his situation.

00:16:04.160 I might have done it.

00:16:05.540 Specifically because you saw that Hillary got away with everything. 1.00

00:16:08.220 I mean, she was pounding things with hammers and allegedly, you know, deleting servers and all kinds of stuff. 0.99

00:16:15.760 So, honestly, I think I might have done that myself.

00:16:20.040 You know, independent of whether there was anything on there about Boxgate,

00:16:24.420 you don't give away all of your video security evidence without a fight.

00:16:30.360 Would you agree?

00:16:31.080 If somebody wants to take all of your privacy, you're going to go down with a fight,

00:16:37.540 and that's what it looks like to me.

00:16:39.660 Now, I don't know if anything he did or is alleged to do about the video.

00:16:45.840 I don't know if any of it is relevant to the boxes.

00:16:49.700 It could be.

00:16:50.780 I wouldn't rule it out.

00:16:52.140 But you have a much better reason to get rid of your security than one court case,

00:16:57.880 although that could be sufficient, but the other reasons are pretty strong.

00:17:06.340 All right.

00:17:09.200 So, let's see what else is going on here.

00:17:12.760 This looks illegitimate.

00:17:18.840 Yeah.

00:17:19.280 So, Sam Bankman-Fried, the crypto scammer, second biggest donor to the Democrats,

00:17:25.620 you'll be amazed to hear that charges have been dropped regarding campaign finance charges.

00:17:32.940 So, you will not be charged with campaign finance problems.

00:17:36.800 There was some, I saw some tweet that it was because we couldn't get cooperation from the Bahamas.

00:17:44.580 Does that sound real to you?

00:17:47.900 Does that sound even a little bit real?

00:17:50.840 No, no.

00:17:51.560 I think you should assume that this is exactly what it looks like.

00:17:55.700 Big Democrat donor, and wherever they can, they'll drop charges.

00:18:00.100 Now, can somebody give me a fact check?

00:18:01.960 These were not his only charges.

00:18:04.240 He's not a free man, right?

00:18:05.740 These were just related to campaigns.

00:18:10.740 But aren't there bigger charges about fraud in general for the business itself, right?

00:18:15.760 Wait, he's a free man?

00:18:23.740 I think there are multiple charges.

00:18:26.760 So, I don't know the whole situation, but I think he's in more legal trouble.

00:18:31.160 But, at least that part of it went away.

00:18:34.060 And nobody's surprised.

00:18:36.040 Is anybody surprised?

00:18:37.940 Do you think he'll go to jail?

00:18:40.740 Or will he be freed because he was so useful to Democrats?

00:18:43.580 You don't really expect a freed.

00:18:47.840 Yes, is his name Fried or Freed?

00:18:53.060 Freed or Freed?

00:18:55.560 It's Freed?

00:18:57.160 So, he was freed and...

00:18:58.860 No, he wasn't freed, but his name is Freed.

00:19:00.480 All right.

00:19:03.860 Here's something that RFK Jr. tweeted today

00:19:06.980 that is so outrageous

00:19:09.740 that you're going to wonder if it's true.

00:19:13.480 I have to admit,

00:19:15.240 I want to see if there's a counter to this.

00:19:18.020 So, this is a fog of war early reporting.

00:19:22.100 So, you're seeing a claim on one side,

00:19:24.420 but you're not seeing the counterclaim or the defense.

00:19:28.020 So, I wouldn't necessarily assume this is 100% true.

00:19:31.520 However, it's coming from RFK Jr.,

00:19:35.360 who doesn't have a history of lying, right?

00:19:39.840 The complaints about him are, you know,

00:19:42.640 he's over-interpreting some science or something like that.

00:19:45.760 But nobody accuses him of lying, as far as I know.

00:19:50.500 So, consider that the source

00:19:52.340 is generally considered an unusually honest source in general.

00:19:57.220 But here's what RFK Jr. says in a tweet.

00:19:59.780 Since the assassination of my father in 1968,

00:20:04.080 candidates for president are provided

00:20:05.740 Secret Service protection, but not me.

00:20:09.920 Typical turnaround for pro forma protection.

00:20:13.520 Now, pro forma means it's just a simple process, right?

00:20:17.560 Pro forma protection requests

00:20:19.520 from presidential candidates is 14 days.

00:20:22.880 So, it should have taken two weeks

00:20:24.580 to get approval to get him his own protection.

00:20:28.480 After 88 days of no response,

00:20:33.320 and after several follow-ups by our campaign,

00:20:37.260 well, first of all, just hold that in your mind.

00:20:40.500 There's a major presidential campaign

00:20:42.720 that's not even getting a response.

00:20:46.480 Not even getting a response.

00:20:49.860 Wow.

00:20:51.440 After 88 days of no response,

00:20:53.500 and after several follow-ups.

00:20:54.840 I mean, just think about that.

00:20:56.760 Even after the follow-ups, no response.

00:20:59.240 The Biden administration just denied our request.

00:21:02.880 What?

00:21:05.080 Secretary Mayorkas said, quote,

00:21:07.840 I have determined that Secret Service protection

00:21:09.780 for a rubber if Kennedy Jr.

00:21:11.700 is not warranted at this time.

00:21:13.400 RFK says,

00:21:15.800 our campaign's request included a 67-page report

00:21:19.400 from the world's leading protection firm

00:21:21.860 detailing the unique and well-established security

00:21:25.060 and safety risks aside from commonplace death threats.

00:21:32.720 Are you shocked?

00:21:35.200 Let me do a little analysis of RFK Jr.'s risk.

00:21:44.300 Now, I don't know about this 67-page report,

00:21:47.600 but I feel like I could maybe shortcut that.

00:21:51.700 His last name is Kennedy,

00:21:54.160 and he's running for president

00:21:56.220 to dismantle the CIA.

00:21:59.780 And you don't see any problem there.

00:22:04.720 Oh, I don't see any risk there.

00:22:08.080 Are you fucking kidding me?

00:22:13.180 How incompetent would you have to be

00:22:15.760 to imagine that RFK Jr.,

00:22:19.240 running for president,

00:22:20.340 is not at the maximum amount of risk

00:22:24.000 a candidate could be at?

00:22:25.920 He's not even in the bottom 50% of risk.

00:22:29.780 You see, he's a 10 and a 10.

00:22:32.580 Every candidate,

00:22:34.920 I think every citizen of the United States,

00:22:37.380 when they heard he was running,

00:22:39.400 said to themselves immediately,

00:22:42.020 oh, shit, that's risky.

00:22:44.740 Do you think we're all wrong?

00:22:46.920 The entire adult population of the United States,

00:22:50.040 do you think we're all wrong

00:22:51.320 that he has an elevated risk?

00:22:54.440 Now, even if you don't buy elevated risk,

00:22:56.940 he's running second on the Democrat side.

00:23:03.580 He's in second place.

00:23:05.220 I mean, it's a distant second,

00:23:06.400 but he's in second place,

00:23:07.820 and the guy who's running first

00:23:09.240 doesn't have any chance of being president.

00:23:13.120 And they're not going to give him protection,

00:23:15.840 or they're ignoring it,

00:23:17.260 or at least they did for a long time.

00:23:18.620 Now, I'm going to go,

00:23:20.900 I'm going to take this further.

00:23:23.920 So, Mayorkas is the one who turned this down,

00:23:26.200 and we see no reason that this could be legitimate.

00:23:28.880 It looks like an assassination attempt to me.

00:23:32.840 In my opinion,

00:23:34.140 this looks like a Mayorkas assassination attempt

00:23:36.920 against a major presidential candidate.

00:23:40.260 It looks like he's in on it.

00:23:42.280 Now, if this were the only thing

00:23:44.580 that Mayorkas ever did that was sketchy, 0.97

00:23:46.720 you might say to yourself,

00:23:48.480 you know, there are probably reasons

00:23:50.480 I don't know about.

00:23:52.180 Maybe they're the experts,

00:23:53.500 and they know something we don't know.

00:23:55.260 If it were the only thing.

00:23:58.160 But Mayorkas is also the person

00:23:59.920 who can't explain why the border keeps being open

00:24:03.480 while he keeps saying it isn't.

00:24:08.320 Right.

00:24:09.060 Now, let me ask you this.

00:24:10.320 How long does Mayorkas have to act 1.00

00:24:13.300 exactly as if he is being blackmailed

00:24:17.160 before you say that's the most likely explanation?

00:24:22.580 Mayorkas looks,

00:24:23.640 he looks and acts like somebody

00:24:25.500 who's being blackmailed by somebody.

00:24:29.060 Do you think that anybody in Mayorkas' job 0.96

00:24:32.380 would have turned down RFK Jr.,

00:24:34.320 and then in their job of protecting the border

00:24:37.320 would have just done the opposite for years?

00:24:39.180 The opposite of not protecting the border.

00:24:43.500 How do you explain that with just incompetence?

00:24:46.620 Do you think that could be explained

00:24:47.940 by he's not good at his job?

00:24:50.240 Does anybody think that?

00:24:51.580 Does anybody think the problem

00:24:52.540 is he's not good at his job?

00:24:54.560 Anybody?

00:24:55.960 No.

00:24:57.020 He presents himself as a blackmailed person.

00:25:01.160 Am I right?

00:25:02.100 Now, I can't make a claim of fact,

00:25:04.500 so this is not a claim of fact.

00:25:06.620 I have no facts.

00:25:07.400 I'm saying that if you have a major,

00:25:10.520 you know, a super important government position

00:25:13.000 who consistently acts as though

00:25:15.560 they're blackmailed by an adversary,

00:25:18.560 at what point do you take that seriously?

00:25:21.780 Don't you have to take that seriously

00:25:23.340 kind of right away?

00:25:24.840 Now, he could be blackmailed by Democrats.

00:25:28.080 He could be blackmailed by,

00:25:30.160 it could be he's blackmailing himself

00:25:32.300 in the sense that if Republicans got in charge,

00:25:35.240 maybe they'd find out something about him

00:25:36.900 he doesn't want them to find out.

00:25:38.780 But he looks like somebody

00:25:39.920 who's operating under duress.

00:25:43.960 Maybe that's a better way to say it.

00:25:45.900 He does not look like somebody

00:25:47.220 who's making his own decisions.

00:25:48.700 He looks like he's operating under duress.

00:25:51.560 Am I wrong?

00:25:53.320 You all see it, right?

00:25:55.940 So, remember what I say about the government.

00:25:58.200 Individuals have to be assumed 1.00

00:26:03.200 in a sentence of proven guilty.

00:26:05.760 But he's working in an official capacity

00:26:08.060 with the backing of the government.

00:26:10.140 In other words, Biden is not disagreeing with him

00:26:12.380 on anything, right?

00:26:15.300 You're not seeing it,

00:26:16.140 the rest of the government say,

00:26:17.280 no, Mayorkas don't act like that. 1.00

00:26:19.300 They're backing him.

00:26:20.860 So you can't say it's about Mayorkas specifically, right?

00:26:24.740 It's about the government.

00:26:25.600 When the government acts like it's blackmailed,

00:26:29.640 that's your working assumption.

00:26:32.800 Your working assumption should be

00:26:35.260 it's exactly what it looks like.

00:26:37.380 And what it looks like

00:26:38.580 is they're not doing the work of the people.

00:26:41.280 They have some other interest

00:26:42.440 or something else they're protecting.

00:26:44.660 Now, under those conditions,

00:26:46.920 how in the world do you not remove that guy?

00:26:50.700 How in the world?

00:26:52.280 I mean, seriously.

00:26:53.300 Now, obviously, it makes sense for Biden to keep him

00:26:56.360 if Biden likes what he's doing.

00:26:59.440 And, you know, he's not acting independently.

00:27:03.840 So somebody has control of him,

00:27:06.280 whether it's his boss or somebody else.

00:27:10.020 But I think we have to stop pretending

00:27:11.860 as though these are patriots acting independently

00:27:15.900 for the best interest of the people.

00:27:18.240 It's very clear that's not happening.

00:27:20.840 We just don't know who's influencing him.

00:27:23.300 Or if he's influencing himself in some weird way.

00:27:27.260 So I have no claims of fact.

00:27:30.020 I have only claims that it looks exactly like

00:27:32.420 somebody's being blackmailed,

00:27:33.960 and that's our government.

00:27:36.220 So maybe we should have a government

00:27:37.680 that doesn't act exactly as if it's being blackmailed

00:27:41.060 by an outside force.

00:27:42.740 But more generally,

00:27:47.740 does it seem to you that Congress

00:27:49.100 is acting like the cartels own it?

00:27:52.120 How many of you think that Congress,

00:27:54.200 not every member, of course,

00:27:56.300 but as a body,

00:27:57.860 does it look like the cartels already got them?

00:28:00.700 They already seem captured, don't they?

00:28:03.040 Now, I don't know how many people

00:28:04.340 you would have to capture

00:28:05.460 in order to block any legislation

00:28:08.600 that would be anti-cartel,

00:28:09.920 but it looks like they got enough

00:28:11.720 because the Congress

00:28:14.800 is not acting like an independent body

00:28:17.800 working for the benefit of the United States.

00:28:21.200 It doesn't look like it's on our side.

00:28:24.160 And that's very different from being incompetent.

00:28:26.980 Because you know what incompetence looks like.

00:28:29.360 You see it all the time.

00:28:30.480 But when you watch the Congress

00:28:32.880 can't get rid of TikTok,

00:28:36.280 seriously.

00:28:38.280 Congress can't block TikTok.

00:28:40.940 We don't need to go into the details.

00:28:44.800 But does that look like

00:28:46.020 they're just doing their job

00:28:47.060 but they might disagree with you

00:28:48.580 about what's good for the country?

00:28:50.080 Does it look like that at all?

00:28:52.280 It does not.

00:28:53.720 It looks like foreign influence 1.00

00:28:55.640 of some kind.

00:28:56.980 And when we look at

00:28:59.460 how we're dealing with the border, etc.,

00:29:01.100 you do hear people complaining.

00:29:03.580 I would say unambiguously

00:29:05.440 and without any question whatsoever,

00:29:08.400 Matt Gaetz is not blackmailed by anybody.

00:29:12.200 Would you agree?

00:29:13.560 It's clear that the cartels

00:29:15.260 are not blackmailing Matt Gaetz.

00:29:18.000 Because you listen to him talk

00:29:19.280 and you say,

00:29:19.720 there's an independent person

00:29:21.100 with an independent opinion

00:29:22.840 at great personal risk.

00:29:25.780 Great personal risk.

00:29:27.480 That's real.

00:29:29.200 And there are a number of other people.

00:29:30.960 You're Tom Cottons, etc.

00:29:32.720 I don't think that they have

00:29:34.220 any influence other than

00:29:35.360 trying to do a good job.

00:29:37.620 But there must be

00:29:39.160 some number of people in Congress

00:29:41.140 who are causing the body in general

00:29:43.880 to act as though

00:29:44.740 it's owned by the cartels.

00:29:48.260 So I think at this point

00:29:49.480 we have to ask ourselves,

00:29:51.240 when do you start looking into that?

00:29:55.200 Is that something we need

00:29:56.080 to be looking into?

00:29:57.440 Because they're not acting

00:29:58.740 like independent people.

00:30:02.960 All right.

00:30:07.060 So did you see,

00:30:08.840 let's see,

00:30:09.640 what was it?

00:30:11.540 Tim,

00:30:12.820 why am I forgetting his name?

00:30:16.060 Who is the Tim running for president?

00:30:23.180 No, Tim Scott.

00:30:24.480 Did I just forget my own name?

00:30:27.880 I literally just forgot my own name.

00:30:30.800 I was like,

00:30:31.400 Tim who?

00:30:32.060 Oh yeah,

00:30:32.420 Tim Scott.

00:30:33.440 Scott.

00:30:34.080 Yeah.

00:30:35.440 That literally just happened.

00:30:37.380 I actually literally forgot my own name

00:30:39.540 right in front of you.

00:30:40.240 So not my best performance.

00:30:44.140 But Tim Scott,

00:30:45.720 running for president,

00:30:46.900 is criticizing DeSantis

00:30:50.060 for what Tim Scott

00:30:52.840 characterizes as

00:30:54.780 an opinion from DeSantis

00:30:58.080 that

00:30:58.560 maybe

00:30:59.680 slavery had some

00:31:00.980 upside

00:31:02.040 for the slaves.

00:31:03.660 Now,

00:31:06.100 you all know

00:31:06.740 that that never happened,

00:31:07.880 right?

00:31:08.260 You know that

00:31:09.100 nobody,

00:31:10.720 not DeSantis,

00:31:12.500 not a DeSantis supporter,

00:31:14.900 not any Republican,

00:31:16.700 not any pundit,

00:31:18.380 not anybody anywhere

00:31:19.800 ever

00:31:21.060 said that slavery

00:31:22.900 was kind of a good deal

00:31:23.920 for slaves.

00:31:25.540 Nobody ever said that.

00:31:27.440 But yet,

00:31:28.280 we're going to do this

00:31:29.100 summer theater

00:31:30.100 where we pretend

00:31:31.040 somebody said it

00:31:31.980 so we could pretend

00:31:33.260 to be angry

00:31:33.940 about the thing

00:31:34.760 that we were pretending

00:31:35.540 happened.

00:31:37.420 So,

00:31:38.100 now that's the sort of thing

00:31:39.420 you expect

00:31:40.080 Democrats to do.

00:31:42.460 Am I right?

00:31:44.800 I'm sure

00:31:45.500 both sides does it.

00:31:47.100 Maybe I just don't notice

00:31:48.320 when it's on one side.

00:31:49.640 But,

00:31:50.340 you don't really want to see

00:31:51.580 a Republican

00:31:52.240 running for president

00:31:53.820 who is blaming

00:31:55.080 Ron DeSantis

00:31:55.940 for some racist sounding

00:31:57.580 thing that never happened.

00:31:59.540 That's a Democrat,

00:32:01.400 right?

00:32:01.980 So,

00:32:02.420 if Tim Scott

00:32:02.900 is running

00:32:03.480 as a Democrat,

00:32:04.460 he's doing

00:32:04.780 a good job.

00:32:06.340 But,

00:32:06.680 I don't want to see

00:32:07.240 that as shit

00:32:07.760 from a Republican.

00:32:10.620 You know,

00:32:11.100 I'm a registered Democrat

00:32:12.180 and even I don't want

00:32:12.880 to see it.

00:32:15.840 So,

00:32:16.720 I don't think

00:32:18.020 Tim Scott

00:32:18.440 has any chance.

00:32:19.820 It looks like

00:32:20.640 Ron DeSantis

00:32:21.840 is himself

00:32:24.180 faltering

00:32:25.120 in the polls.

00:32:25.900 What do you think

00:32:27.560 was DeSantis'

00:32:28.760 biggest problem?

00:32:30.060 Trump?

00:32:31.800 Being boring?

00:32:34.380 Running against Trump?

00:32:36.240 Maybe his biggest problem

00:32:37.460 is he's just running

00:32:38.160 against Trump.

00:32:39.320 And what can you do?

00:32:41.460 Right?

00:32:41.580 Well,

00:32:42.800 I don't think

00:32:43.340 he,

00:32:43.680 I don't think

00:32:46.540 he counterpunched

00:32:47.760 in any way

00:32:48.900 that worked.

00:32:50.820 I think

00:32:51.540 the campaign

00:32:52.440 is saying

00:32:53.060 something like,

00:32:54.480 I don't know,

00:32:55.920 that they reduced

00:32:56.760 the staff

00:32:57.180 by 30%.

00:32:58.000 So,

00:32:58.780 I don't think

00:32:59.100 anybody thinks

00:32:59.800 he has a shot

00:33:00.680 at this point

00:33:01.320 unless the legal

00:33:02.780 system takes

00:33:03.480 Trump out.

00:33:04.460 Which is possible.

00:33:05.860 It might.

00:33:06.240 It might.

00:33:12.920 How would you

00:33:13.720 like to see

00:33:14.580 an end result

00:33:16.800 that gave you

00:33:18.940 a,

00:33:19.700 this is just

00:33:20.200 hypothetical,

00:33:21.560 right?

00:33:21.840 Everybody's running

00:33:22.540 for first place,

00:33:23.560 nobody's running

00:33:24.120 to be vice president,

00:33:25.320 we all get that.

00:33:26.380 But just imagine

00:33:27.120 the situation

00:33:27.800 in the end.

00:33:28.980 Imagine Trump

00:33:29.900 winning

00:33:30.260 the presidency.

00:33:32.580 Imagine

00:33:33.060 Vivek

00:33:33.820 as a vice president

00:33:34.840 who's like a COO,

00:33:36.940 so he's not just

00:33:37.820 waiting for Trump

00:33:38.900 to have a medical

00:33:39.560 problem,

00:33:40.600 he's actually

00:33:41.220 doing more

00:33:42.140 of a Jared project

00:33:43.420 making things

00:33:44.520 happen,

00:33:45.080 especially domestically.

00:33:46.700 And then maybe

00:33:47.700 Trump doing more

00:33:48.480 international stuff.

00:33:49.980 But then imagine

00:33:50.740 DeSantis as

00:33:51.560 attorney general.

00:33:54.280 And then

00:33:54.640 imagine

00:33:55.680 RFK Jr.

00:33:56.860 having some

00:33:57.420 specialized role,

00:33:58.780 maybe not a

00:33:59.500 cabinet position,

00:34:00.580 but some

00:34:01.420 specialized role

00:34:02.380 to just go

00:34:03.080 dismantle the CIA

00:34:04.400 or whatever

00:34:05.500 it is they need

00:34:06.000 to do

00:34:06.960 that people

00:34:07.740 agree with.

00:34:08.840 That would be

00:34:09.700 pretty close

00:34:10.360 to a dream

00:34:10.860 team,

00:34:11.240 wouldn't it?

00:34:13.380 Because I

00:34:13.860 would,

00:34:14.320 again,

00:34:16.060 DeSantis

00:34:16.500 is not

00:34:17.080 killing it

00:34:17.780 in terms

00:34:18.460 of his

00:34:18.760 campaign,

00:34:19.980 but I

00:34:20.520 want to say

00:34:21.080 very clearly,

00:34:21.880 he's a

00:34:22.320 solid,

00:34:22.980 solid

00:34:23.360 patriot,

00:34:25.180 solid,

00:34:26.140 smart,

00:34:27.200 capable

00:34:27.700 executive.

00:34:29.220 We would

00:34:29.720 do fine

00:34:30.160 if he were

00:34:30.520 president.

00:34:31.460 I think

00:34:31.820 the country

00:34:32.260 would be

00:34:32.560 in good

00:34:32.820 hands

00:34:33.120 with the

00:34:33.440 president

00:34:33.740 DeSantis.

00:34:34.580 It doesn't

00:34:35.200 look like

00:34:35.520 it's going

00:34:35.780 to happen,

00:34:37.260 but again,

00:34:38.120 I'd like to

00:34:38.520 point out

00:34:38.960 how lucky

00:34:39.380 we are

00:34:39.780 that we

00:34:40.020 have the

00:34:40.240 best,

00:34:41.080 in my

00:34:41.620 opinion,

00:34:41.980 this is

00:34:42.280 the best

00:34:42.560 group of

00:34:43.000 candidates

00:34:43.460 I've seen

00:34:45.120 in my

00:34:45.420 lifetime.

00:34:47.280 But wouldn't

00:34:47.940 it be good

00:34:48.360 if we could

00:34:48.740 get the

00:34:49.220 benefits of

00:34:50.140 all of

00:34:50.520 them?

00:34:52.040 And we

00:34:52.640 do have

00:34:53.000 a situation

00:34:53.560 that's

00:34:53.840 starting to

00:34:54.260 form where

00:34:55.300 that's not

00:34:55.780 impossible.

00:34:57.300 It's

00:34:57.600 unlikely.

00:34:58.760 It's still

00:34:59.200 unlikely because

00:34:59.840 that's a lot

00:35:00.260 of ifs to

00:35:00.960 come together.

00:35:01.460 But there

00:35:02.560 is a

00:35:03.260 possibility

00:35:03.920 that Trump

00:35:05.620 could put

00:35:06.020 together the

00:35:06.840 dream team

00:35:07.460 of all

00:35:07.800 dream teams.

00:35:09.560 That's very

00:35:10.340 possible.

00:35:11.480 I don't know

00:35:11.940 how likely

00:35:12.460 it is,

00:35:12.920 but it's

00:35:13.300 possible.

00:35:14.660 Now,

00:35:15.360 I'm going to

00:35:16.580 double down

00:35:17.120 on saying

00:35:17.740 that there

00:35:18.860 will not

00:35:19.300 be a

00:35:19.860 second term

00:35:20.500 of Biden.

00:35:21.760 I think

00:35:22.120 that's the

00:35:22.520 one thing

00:35:23.060 we can rule

00:35:24.260 out at this

00:35:25.000 point.

00:35:26.340 How many

00:35:26.800 would agree

00:35:27.200 with that?

00:35:27.620 that the

00:35:29.040 only thing

00:35:29.600 you can

00:35:29.860 rule out

00:35:30.380 for sure

00:35:30.980 is it

00:35:32.000 won't be

00:35:32.380 President

00:35:32.760 Biden.

00:35:35.480 Yeah,

00:35:36.280 there's no

00:35:37.000 way he's

00:35:37.380 going to

00:35:37.620 survive the

00:35:38.240 age and

00:35:39.000 the Biden

00:35:39.840 crime family

00:35:40.580 revelations.

00:35:41.780 It's too

00:35:42.200 big.

00:35:42.940 Now,

00:35:43.240 on the other

00:35:43.560 hand,

00:35:44.380 you've got

00:35:44.740 Trump with

00:35:45.240 these,

00:35:45.660 you know,

00:35:46.140 it seems

00:35:46.540 like endless

00:35:47.400 legal problems.

00:35:49.620 It's easy

00:35:50.420 for me to

00:35:51.040 imagine Trump

00:35:51.820 getting through

00:35:52.320 his legal

00:35:52.840 problems.

00:35:53.780 What do

00:35:54.040 you think?

00:35:55.080 Is it easy

00:35:55.760 for you to

00:35:56.220 imagine that?

00:35:56.920 Because I

00:35:57.900 don't think

00:35:58.280 they're

00:35:58.440 necessarily

00:35:58.960 real.

00:36:00.620 You know,

00:36:00.880 well,

00:36:01.560 they could

00:36:02.120 be real

00:36:02.500 in a

00:36:02.760 technical

00:36:03.120 sense,

00:36:03.680 but not

00:36:04.000 real in

00:36:04.340 the sense

00:36:04.680 that you

00:36:05.180 would typically

00:36:05.760 bring these

00:36:06.460 charges against

00:36:07.180 somebody in

00:36:07.700 his position.

00:36:08.980 But then,

00:36:10.120 his chances

00:36:10.780 of getting

00:36:11.180 elected and

00:36:11.820 then pardoning

00:36:12.540 himself,

00:36:14.000 pretty good,

00:36:14.820 if there's

00:36:16.220 anything to

00:36:16.700 pardon.

00:36:18.820 Now,

00:36:19.440 I saw

00:36:19.680 Jonathan

00:36:20.220 Turley

00:36:20.920 speculating

00:36:21.940 that one

00:36:23.100 of the plays

00:36:23.660 that Joe

00:36:24.660 Biden could

00:36:25.160 use is

00:36:26.380 pardon

00:36:27.360 Hunter

00:36:27.780 and then

00:36:28.640 drop out

00:36:30.020 of the

00:36:30.180 race.

00:36:31.600 What do

00:36:31.940 you think

00:36:32.180 of the

00:36:32.400 odds that

00:36:33.080 Joe Biden

00:36:34.220 would pardon

00:36:34.980 Hunter and

00:36:35.840 drop out

00:36:36.220 of the

00:36:36.400 race?

00:36:41.220 I don't

00:36:41.860 know.

00:36:44.140 Pretty

00:36:44.700 good.

00:36:46.440 Yeah,

00:36:46.700 pretty good.

00:36:47.880 It's not

00:36:48.600 zero.

00:36:49.000 so I

00:36:51.240 think

00:36:51.500 either

00:36:51.900 Biden

00:36:52.900 runs,

00:36:54.640 which I

00:36:55.100 think is

00:36:55.500 unlikely,

00:36:56.400 but it's

00:36:56.600 possible.

00:36:57.380 I'm going

00:36:57.600 to go

00:36:57.900 60-40.

00:36:59.900 60% he

00:37:00.900 doesn't run,

00:37:02.140 but 40 is

00:37:02.840 still a lot,

00:37:04.180 so it could

00:37:04.700 happen.

00:37:05.700 But he

00:37:06.960 can't win.

00:37:08.740 I don't think

00:37:09.600 he'd win against

00:37:10.180 anybody,

00:37:10.640 actually.

00:37:11.940 I think that

00:37:13.100 the Democrats

00:37:13.780 may be

00:37:14.320 hallucinating

00:37:15.040 if they're

00:37:16.200 still in

00:37:16.680 the Biden

00:37:17.840 can beat

00:37:18.340 Trump world,

00:37:19.920 I think

00:37:20.480 that boat

00:37:22.480 sailed.

00:37:25.580 Maybe I'm

00:37:26.500 biased and

00:37:27.340 maybe I'm

00:37:27.940 wishful thinking

00:37:28.880 or something

00:37:29.240 like that.

00:37:30.100 Maybe.

00:37:30.980 I will cop

00:37:31.860 to that.

00:37:32.320 I could be.

00:37:33.480 But how

00:37:35.040 in the world

00:37:35.540 does somebody

00:37:36.040 who can't

00:37:36.500 speak and

00:37:37.100 campaign and

00:37:38.740 has now been

00:37:39.440 outed as

00:37:40.100 quite definitely

00:37:40.940 the head of a

00:37:42.400 crime family,

00:37:43.620 as far as

00:37:44.660 the public

00:37:45.240 can tell.

00:37:46.520 How in the

00:37:47.200 world does

00:37:47.520 that win?

00:37:48.940 Cheating?

00:37:50.640 I don't know.

00:37:51.860 That'd be a

00:37:52.440 pretty risky

00:37:53.020 cheat this

00:37:53.580 time.

00:37:54.320 But you're

00:37:54.800 right,

00:37:55.100 they'll

00:37:55.240 probably do

00:37:55.600 it.

00:37:58.160 There's new

00:37:58.800 news about

00:37:59.340 Facebook

00:37:59.960 censoring

00:38:01.100 people about

00:38:02.160 COVID.

00:38:03.400 That would

00:38:04.120 be the

00:38:04.540 least surprising

00:38:05.380 story.

00:38:07.080 Didn't you

00:38:07.440 think we

00:38:07.820 already knew

00:38:08.400 everything about

00:38:09.200 that?

00:38:10.360 Do you

00:38:10.720 need new

00:38:11.200 information that

00:38:11.940 Facebook was

00:38:12.640 suppressing

00:38:13.080 some things

00:38:14.040 at the

00:38:15.200 request of

00:38:15.820 the government?

00:38:16.980 It's not

00:38:17.660 going to

00:38:17.860 surprise you

00:38:18.380 if there

00:38:18.720 was some

00:38:19.340 Trump

00:38:19.660 administration

00:38:20.280 requests and

00:38:21.080 also some

00:38:21.580 Biden requests,

00:38:22.440 right?

00:38:23.500 That's not

00:38:24.100 going to

00:38:24.320 surprise you.

00:38:25.600 But in

00:38:26.280 both cases,

00:38:27.820 that's exactly

00:38:29.100 what it

00:38:29.380 looked like.

00:38:31.160 Well,

00:38:31.480 Ilan Omar

00:38:32.220 is making

00:38:32.720 some news.

00:38:33.520 She was on

00:38:34.000 Al Jazeera

00:38:34.980 saying that

00:38:36.400 America should

00:38:37.500 be more

00:38:37.860 fearful of

00:38:38.600 white men

00:38:39.180 because white

00:38:40.740 men are

00:38:41.060 causing most

00:38:41.580 of the deaths

00:38:41.980 in this

00:38:42.320 country.

00:38:44.040 Now, do

00:38:45.020 we need to

00:38:45.460 do the

00:38:45.780 thing where

00:38:46.160 we say,

00:38:46.680 wait a

00:38:47.120 minute, if

00:38:48.780 anybody said

00:38:49.460 that in

00:38:50.020 some other

00:38:50.480 way, they'd

00:38:51.280 be racist and 0.88

00:38:52.380 all that.

00:38:53.260 But no, I

00:38:53.760 think we can

00:38:54.200 just point out

00:38:54.700 that she's a 0.50

00:38:55.820 virulent racist

00:38:56.780 and leave it

00:39:00.380 at that.

00:39:01.440 She got

00:39:01.860 elected.

00:39:02.420 I guess people

00:39:02.880 wanted a

00:39:03.460 virulent racist

00:39:04.560 to be their

00:39:05.260 representative.

00:39:06.360 But they got

00:39:06.740 one.

00:39:07.740 On the

00:39:08.180 positive side,

00:39:10.080 Ilan Omar

00:39:10.620 has crazy

00:39:11.360 charisma.

00:39:12.980 Have you

00:39:13.200 ever noticed

00:39:13.640 that?

00:39:14.040 I'm always

00:39:15.460 impressed at

00:39:17.280 her public

00:39:18.100 presentation.

00:39:21.180 She looks

00:39:22.080 great.

00:39:22.940 She speaks

00:39:23.600 great.

00:39:25.320 She's got

00:39:26.060 the power.

00:39:28.740 She's a very

00:39:29.340 powerful person.

00:39:30.380 So at an

00:39:30.920 individual level,

00:39:31.760 she's quite

00:39:32.160 awesome.

00:39:33.540 But on a

00:39:34.640 political level,

00:39:36.020 she's kind of

00:39:36.480 dangerous and

00:39:37.580 racist.

00:39:37.840 racist.

00:39:40.100 All right.

00:39:41.140 How many of

00:39:41.880 you saw my

00:39:42.480 summer thread

00:39:43.880 about the

00:39:45.880 UFOs on

00:39:47.260 Twitter?

00:39:48.660 Some of you

00:39:49.340 saw it, but I'm

00:39:50.100 going to read the

00:39:50.500 whole thing because

00:39:51.280 it's fun.

00:39:52.300 Now, I tell you

00:39:52.980 in advance that

00:39:54.940 this is a

00:39:55.580 summer thread.

00:39:57.980 Summer thread

00:39:58.780 means don't

00:39:59.740 believe it.

00:40:00.340 it's just for

00:40:02.300 fun.

00:40:03.120 It's sort of

00:40:03.620 like yelling at

00:40:04.320 DeSantis for the

00:40:05.240 thing that didn't

00:40:06.100 happen and he

00:40:06.700 doesn't think.

00:40:07.720 It's just summer

00:40:08.480 fun.

00:40:09.580 Right?

00:40:09.900 It's like UFOs.

00:40:11.680 They're not real,

00:40:13.200 but it's summer

00:40:13.980 fun.

00:40:15.040 Right?

00:40:15.300 So, in the

00:40:16.620 spirit of summer

00:40:17.480 fun, I give

00:40:19.060 you the

00:40:19.520 following thread.

00:40:22.440 I sometimes

00:40:23.380 see the world

00:40:24.080 as a secret

00:40:24.780 battle among

00:40:26.160 persuasion

00:40:26.920 wizards, sort

00:40:28.520 of like the

00:40:28.900 movie Underworld,

00:40:30.100 in which the

00:40:30.780 vampires and

00:40:31.380 werewolves are

00:40:32.160 waging a war

00:40:33.080 that humans

00:40:33.760 don't notice.

00:40:35.260 By that

00:40:35.980 filter, I'm

00:40:37.340 seeing a

00:40:37.800 frightening signal.

00:40:39.680 I'll explain.

00:40:41.020 When Democrats

00:40:42.020 succeeded in

00:40:42.780 persuading half

00:40:43.580 of the public,

00:40:44.640 the Republicans

00:40:45.280 staged an

00:40:46.200 insurrection and

00:40:47.360 didn't bring

00:40:47.840 guns, we

00:40:48.980 entered a

00:40:49.340 whole new

00:40:49.700 realm.

00:40:50.680 As a

00:40:51.000 hypnotist, if

00:40:52.240 I had been

00:40:52.700 on the team

00:40:53.300 that pulled

00:40:53.700 that off, I

00:40:54.980 would have

00:40:55.300 one really

00:40:56.320 big question.

00:40:58.760 And the

00:40:59.160 question was,

00:41:00.160 I'd want to

00:41:00.620 know if there

00:41:01.060 was any limit

00:41:01.880 to what you

00:41:02.560 could sell to

00:41:03.640 half of the

00:41:04.100 public that

00:41:04.600 votes for

00:41:05.100 Democrats.

00:41:06.160 I would want

00:41:06.980 to test it.

00:41:08.320 And to test

00:41:08.980 it, I would

00:41:09.580 introduce to the

00:41:10.340 news cycle a

00:41:11.120 whistleblower with

00:41:12.480 the most implausible

00:41:13.640 story I could

00:41:14.380 imagine.

00:41:16.160 Yep.

00:41:17.760 I would

00:41:18.440 plant a story

00:41:19.120 that the U.S.

00:41:19.700 has multiple

00:41:20.440 captured alien

00:41:21.360 ships and even

00:41:22.540 some dead

00:41:23.080 aliens.

00:41:23.940 And I would

00:41:24.480 ask you to

00:41:25.060 accept that

00:41:25.920 these aliens

00:41:26.520 routinely navigate

00:41:27.640 the vastness of

00:41:28.580 space and crash

00:41:29.520 mostly in

00:41:30.180 America.

00:41:31.360 If half of the

00:41:32.320 public believes

00:41:32.920 that story, the

00:41:34.180 country is ripe for

00:41:35.100 a takeover from

00:41:36.360 within, without

00:41:38.080 firing a shot.

00:41:39.120 As a hypnotist,

00:41:41.740 that's how I'd

00:41:42.480 test the subject

00:41:44.460 to see if they

00:41:45.760 are in a fully

00:41:46.400 suggestible state.

00:41:48.040 I'd suggest

00:41:48.920 something absurd,

00:41:50.560 such as one arm

00:41:51.740 becoming weightless.

00:41:53.480 That's a typical

00:41:54.280 hypnotist thing.

00:41:55.500 I don't hold any

00:41:56.560 filter on reality

00:41:57.420 to be true,

00:41:59.060 but some filters

00:42:00.200 seem to predict

00:42:00.900 better than others,

00:42:02.220 and that might be

00:42:03.100 worth something.

00:42:03.660 This filter predicts

00:42:05.560 that the next

00:42:06.240 suggestion that

00:42:08.180 comes packaged as

00:42:09.380 news will be

00:42:11.020 another escalation

00:42:12.120 of absurdity and

00:42:14.180 or the takeover

00:42:16.060 play, as in

00:42:18.340 taking over the

00:42:19.000 country play.

00:42:20.980 And then I say

00:42:22.500 at the end,

00:42:23.120 this is a summer

00:42:24.080 tweet, so don't

00:42:25.560 take it too

00:42:26.000 seriously.

00:42:26.560 It means nothing.

00:42:27.760 You'll forget it

00:42:28.520 by the time you

00:42:29.160 stop reading this

00:42:30.740 part of the thread

00:42:31.640 or hearing it.

00:42:32.620 There is nothing

00:42:33.940 to see here.

00:42:34.920 Kittens are soft.

00:42:36.000 Don't you have

00:42:36.500 something you need

00:42:37.640 to be doing right

00:42:38.260 now?

00:42:40.440 Forget it.

00:42:42.480 Forget what you

00:42:43.220 heard.

00:42:44.280 There is no battle

00:42:45.440 with wizards.

00:42:47.140 There is no

00:42:47.680 persuasion battle

00:42:48.480 behind the scenes.

00:42:50.220 Forget what you've

00:42:50.840 seen.

00:42:53.540 All right.

00:42:54.500 And there you go.

00:42:57.000 So let me explain

00:42:58.040 a little about the

00:42:58.940 hypnosis part.

00:43:00.340 If you're hypnotizing

00:43:01.320 somebody,

00:43:02.620 the way that you

00:43:04.160 get them from

00:43:04.940 just being relaxed

00:43:06.100 and willing to do

00:43:07.340 what you're

00:43:07.720 suggesting to a

00:43:09.500 whole different

00:43:10.200 mindset where

00:43:11.660 you're effectively

00:43:12.660 controlling their

00:43:14.220 actions and

00:43:14.840 thoughts and

00:43:15.800 voluntarily, they're

00:43:16.960 letting you do it.

00:43:18.160 And one of the

00:43:18.680 things that you

00:43:19.100 try to accomplish

00:43:19.760 is you start by

00:43:21.560 getting the subject

00:43:22.320 to do things that

00:43:23.280 they think they're

00:43:24.680 only doing because

00:43:25.800 maybe they're

00:43:26.840 playing along.

00:43:27.580 so you might say

00:43:29.020 your eyes are

00:43:29.980 getting heavy and

00:43:31.800 you're blinking

00:43:32.560 more and stuff

00:43:33.460 like that.

00:43:34.200 And the subject

00:43:35.040 will be thinking

00:43:35.700 there, yeah, yeah,

00:43:36.560 yeah, okay, you

00:43:37.820 made me think about

00:43:38.600 my eyes, so yeah,

00:43:39.800 I'm blinking more.

00:43:41.120 But, you know,

00:43:41.680 blinking is no big

00:43:42.480 deal.

00:43:42.820 I'm doing it because

00:43:43.460 I want to.

00:43:45.240 And then if you

00:43:47.020 keep working on

00:43:47.820 them with

00:43:48.860 suggestions and

00:43:49.860 imagery and the

00:43:50.740 rest of the

00:43:51.180 induction, you get

00:43:52.480 to the point where

00:43:53.360 you try to get

00:43:54.100 them to do

00:43:54.580 something that

00:43:55.880 they don't

00:43:56.400 recognize as

00:43:57.180 their own choice.

00:43:59.040 So that's where

00:43:59.640 the floating arm

00:44:00.440 is.

00:44:01.020 If you can have

00:44:01.680 somebody who's

00:44:02.300 aware, you know,

00:44:03.520 they know exactly

00:44:04.380 what's happening,

00:44:05.340 they know they're

00:44:05.760 being hypnotized,

00:44:07.060 they know that

00:44:07.720 you're making the

00:44:09.100 suggestion their

00:44:09.760 arm is light,

00:44:11.220 but then they

00:44:11.700 actually feel their

00:44:12.400 arm float.

00:44:13.780 If you can get

00:44:14.760 them to that point,

00:44:16.000 then they're

00:44:17.100 deeply, deeply

00:44:18.340 suggestible.

00:44:20.180 And that's what

00:44:20.940 the news cycle

00:44:21.700 did to the public.

00:44:23.460 It started out

00:44:24.200 with stories where

00:44:25.040 maybe you said

00:44:25.620 to yourself,

00:44:26.120 I don't know,

00:44:27.300 that might be

00:44:27.700 true, maybe not.

00:44:28.920 And they've got us

00:44:29.740 to the point where

00:44:30.560 half of the public

00:44:31.360 was wondering if

00:44:32.380 the United States

00:44:34.200 has captured

00:44:35.440 aliens from

00:44:36.380 other planets.

00:44:38.620 They got us all

00:44:39.720 the way there.

00:44:41.000 The captured

00:44:41.560 alien really feels

00:44:42.800 like the floating

00:44:43.480 arm thing in the

00:44:45.060 sense that it

00:44:45.680 seems intentionally,

00:44:47.120 it seems, I'm

00:44:48.320 not saying it is,

00:44:49.340 it seems intentionally

00:44:50.500 chosen to test

00:44:52.580 your level of

00:44:53.800 susceptibility.

00:44:55.540 As in, the very

00:44:57.080 next thing that you

00:44:57.920 would expect by

00:44:58.840 this filter is

00:45:00.260 they would try

00:45:00.740 something more

00:45:02.480 outrageous than

00:45:04.460 the UFO story.

00:45:07.120 Or more

00:45:08.000 outrageous than

00:45:08.740 hiding the

00:45:09.320 crime, the Biden

00:45:10.300 crime family as if

00:45:11.400 it didn't happen.

00:45:13.340 So if, if the

00:45:16.120 news succeeds in

00:45:18.640 making the Biden

00:45:19.640 crime family story

00:45:20.740 go away, like it 0.92

00:45:22.360 didn't even

00:45:22.760 exist, that would

00:45:25.520 be bigger than a

00:45:26.240 UFO story.

00:45:28.520 To me, that would

00:45:29.460 be bigger.

00:45:32.160 So, that could be

00:45:34.780 the play.

00:45:35.640 Or there could be

00:45:36.480 some, you know,

00:45:37.240 absolute takeover

00:45:38.340 play where they're

00:45:39.880 going to cancel the

00:45:40.660 elections and, you

00:45:41.900 know, declare

00:45:42.920 martial law or some

00:45:44.320 damn thing.

00:45:44.820 But, what you

00:45:47.080 should expect next by

00:45:48.200 that filter, and 0.80

00:45:49.180 again, remember, this

00:45:49.880 is just the summer

00:45:50.780 thread, don't take

00:45:52.280 anything too

00:45:52.760 seriously.

00:45:56.480 It's mostly

00:45:57.280 Republicans pushing

00:45:58.640 for transparency.

00:46:00.040 Don't be fooled by

00:46:00.860 that, Juan.

00:46:01.500 So here's what Juan

00:46:02.720 is saying.

00:46:03.680 He's saying that it's

00:46:04.600 the Republicans who

00:46:06.180 are pushing for the

00:46:06.940 transparency, so it

00:46:08.560 would not be

00:46:09.200 reasonable to say that

00:46:10.140 the Democrats are

00:46:10.980 running an op with

00:46:12.380 the, with that.

00:46:14.380 Do you see what's

00:46:14.880 wrong with your, do

00:46:16.000 you see what's wrong

00:46:16.540 with that?

00:46:17.720 Do I have to tell you

00:46:18.720 what's wrong with

00:46:19.180 that, Juan?

00:46:21.980 Or can you see it

00:46:22.980 yourself?

00:46:25.020 No, it's mostly

00:46:25.860 Republicans.

00:46:26.760 He's right about

00:46:27.380 that.

00:46:28.900 What was the

00:46:31.140 political affiliation

00:46:32.360 of the whistleblower?

00:46:34.820 Is a whistleblower

00:46:35.840 a Republican?

00:46:37.640 And do you think

00:46:38.340 they would have had

00:46:38.800 the hearings without

00:46:39.620 a whistleblower?

00:46:41.180 No, it's the

00:46:41.760 whistleblower.

00:46:43.380 The whistleblower is

00:46:45.000 the reason for the

00:46:45.800 hearings, right?

00:46:47.720 The fact that it's

00:46:48.660 the Republicans who

00:46:49.640 bought it just means

00:46:51.200 the Democrats were

00:46:52.120 smart enough to stay

00:46:52.980 away from their own

00:46:53.720 op.

00:46:54.980 Am I right?

00:46:56.360 Imagine if, imagine

00:46:57.360 if the Democrats had

00:46:58.340 gone in hard and

00:46:59.680 said, oh yeah, we

00:47:00.380 better look into

00:47:00.960 this.

00:47:02.820 But they didn't.

00:47:04.960 Now, what is it

00:47:05.920 about UFOs that's

00:47:07.180 political?

00:47:08.820 Is, did anybody

00:47:10.080 learn that Democrats

00:47:11.380 Democrats don't believe

00:47:12.700 in UFOs and

00:47:13.500 Republicans do?

00:47:14.760 No.

00:47:15.560 Nothing like that.

00:47:16.960 What would cause, what

00:47:18.280 would cause a complete

00:47:19.600 lack of bipartisanship

00:47:21.680 about aliens?

00:47:24.940 It's almost as if one

00:47:26.540 side knew it was an op.

00:47:29.720 It's almost like that,

00:47:31.180 isn't it?

00:47:32.020 Because you can't, you

00:47:32.900 can't tell me that

00:47:33.660 there's even one

00:47:34.840 Democrat who, who

00:47:36.320 thinks, well, that,

00:47:37.180 you know, that

00:47:38.460 whistleblower sounded a

00:47:39.540 little bit like he

00:47:40.940 might be telling the

00:47:41.640 truth and we should

00:47:42.200 look into it.

00:47:43.160 Not one Democrat,

00:47:44.340 right?

00:47:45.300 No.

00:47:46.300 UFOs are not

00:47:47.320 politics.

00:47:48.680 But somehow it came

00:47:49.760 down by, you know,

00:47:51.160 by party lines.

00:47:52.840 How's that happen?

00:47:54.360 Well, it happens when

00:47:55.320 one side knows it's an

00:47:56.420 op and the way the op

00:47:57.940 works better is if only

00:47:59.280 the Republicans are

00:48:00.240 holding the hearing.

00:48:01.640 Because then it looks

00:48:02.500 like it's a Republican

00:48:03.320 thing, just like Juan

00:48:04.580 said.

00:48:05.060 How easily you were

00:48:06.640 fooled, Juan.

00:48:08.340 Because the

00:48:09.040 whistleblower, I don't 1.00

00:48:09.840 know if the

00:48:10.200 whistleblower is a 0.98

00:48:10.820 Democrat, but the

00:48:13.960 whistleblower is the

00:48:14.900 story.

00:48:16.420 He's the whole story.

00:48:18.620 So if he's legitimate,

00:48:21.680 then the Democrats

00:48:23.700 maybe are just playing

00:48:24.440 some political stuff.

00:48:25.820 But if he's running an

00:48:27.140 op and he knows what

00:48:28.620 he says is not true,

00:48:30.360 and coincidentally no

00:48:31.880 Democrats wanted to be 0.60

00:48:33.000 associated with him,

00:48:33.960 but the Republicans

00:48:35.240 said we better look

00:48:36.180 into this, that

00:48:37.560 doesn't tell you that

00:48:38.420 there's a little bit of

00:48:39.340 sketchiness going on

00:48:40.400 with this guy?

00:48:41.600 A little bit?

00:48:42.900 You don't think you'll

00:48:43.820 ever find that he has

00:48:44.880 connections to prominent

00:48:46.560 Democrats or operators?

00:48:48.540 You don't think you're

00:48:49.400 ever going to find that

00:48:50.060 out?

00:48:51.420 Do you want to make a

00:48:52.700 prediction from this

00:48:53.960 filter?

00:48:55.300 So this is not my

00:48:56.580 prediction.

00:48:57.760 This is what the

00:48:58.880 filter would predict.

00:48:59.880 The filter on this

00:49:02.700 would predict that

00:49:03.960 someday you'll find out

00:49:05.600 he has some Democrat

00:49:06.740 connections you didn't

00:49:07.660 know about.

00:49:09.660 Am I right?

00:49:11.660 Presumably you're going

00:49:12.400 to find that out.

00:49:14.280 Now I'm not saying I'm

00:49:15.720 not making an

00:49:16.300 accusation myself.

00:49:17.700 I'm saying that if that

00:49:18.980 view of the world is

00:49:21.080 correct or even just

00:49:22.680 predictable, we would

00:49:24.860 find that out someday.

00:49:26.260 Do you think you're going

00:49:26.980 to find out he's a total

00:49:28.180 Republican, he's a MAGA,

00:49:30.160 extreme MAGA guy?

00:49:31.800 Does anybody want to

00:49:32.500 take a bet that he's not

00:49:33.380 a MAGA guy?

00:49:35.360 Anybody want to take the

00:49:36.400 other side of that bet?

00:49:38.520 Yeah?

00:49:39.160 No?

00:49:39.580 I'll bet he's not.

00:49:40.860 I'll bet he's not pro-Trump.

00:49:46.460 All right.

00:49:47.020 All right.

00:49:52.100 If you can destroy one

00:49:55.820 whistleblower, you can

00:49:56.520 destroy them all.

00:49:58.180 Well, yes.

00:49:59.400 So then there's also the

00:50:00.760 thought that having a fake

00:50:02.560 whistleblower, if that's what

00:50:03.800 he turns out to be, would be

00:50:06.060 one way to discredit the real

00:50:08.060 ones.

00:50:08.760 So the real ones are the ones

00:50:10.140 who are outing Hunter Biden.

00:50:12.180 Oh, but coincidentally, there's

00:50:13.600 another whistleblower who's total

00:50:15.100 BS, maybe.

00:50:16.620 Oh, what a coincidence.

00:50:18.760 So now, what does the public

00:50:20.040 think about these whistleblowers?

00:50:22.300 Right.

00:50:22.440 So CNN probably is going to

00:50:26.420 convince you that meta-analysis is

00:50:31.780 reliable and whistleblowers are

00:50:33.720 not.

00:50:34.920 The ones that have the same

00:50:36.020 story under oath, multiple

00:50:38.020 people.

00:50:39.180 You're probably going to hear

00:50:40.200 they're not credible.

00:50:40.860 All right.

00:50:49.080 Bob Lazar, no, I don't believe

00:50:50.800 anything Bob Lazar says.

00:50:53.240 Bob Lazar did not strike me as

00:50:55.140 even a little bit credible.

00:50:57.920 Not even a little bit.

00:50:59.880 Under oath means nothing.

00:51:02.720 Do you know why he's not at

00:51:05.800 risk?

00:51:06.980 Because he can say somebody

00:51:08.280 told me, and I'm going on what

00:51:10.780 they told me.

00:51:12.440 And then the worst case scenario

00:51:14.000 is they'll say, but we talked to

00:51:16.940 the person who told you, and they

00:51:18.840 say they did not tell you that.

00:51:21.280 And then he says, I swear I heard

00:51:22.900 it.

00:51:24.260 And then it's one word against

00:51:26.340 another word, and then what do

00:51:28.860 you do?

00:51:31.240 All right.

00:51:31.480 Doesn't sound like he's lying.

00:51:34.200 I think he could easily tell the

00:51:36.020 story that he believed that what

00:51:37.680 he was hearing was true.

00:51:39.540 And that's not a lie.

00:51:42.080 I mean, he wouldn't be convicted

00:51:43.320 of a lie.

00:51:43.920 It might be a lie, but he wouldn't

00:51:45.160 be convicted of one.

00:51:48.420 All right.

00:51:49.140 Well, I don't believe anything

00:51:50.200 about him.

00:51:53.080 Planted memories?

00:51:54.660 It's not impossible.

00:51:56.700 You could plant memories in

00:51:58.200 people.

00:51:58.960 It's a thing.

00:51:59.720 I don't think that's what's

00:52:01.660 happening, but it's a thing.

00:52:04.780 Yeah, discrediting whistleblowers

00:52:06.340 might be the play.

00:52:08.880 But it gets them everything.

00:52:11.140 It gets them the new cycle, the

00:52:13.100 discrediting whistleblowers.

00:52:18.260 Henry says, Scott accepts all

00:52:20.300 Trump's crimes as nothing to see.

00:52:23.060 Do I do that?

00:52:23.940 I think that some of Trump's

00:52:26.920 alleged crimes are technical

00:52:28.760 crimes.

00:52:31.180 Have I ever said differently?

00:52:34.440 But I'm saying what the experts

00:52:36.200 seem to say, which is these

00:52:38.920 technical crimes would be somewhat

00:52:40.760 common to everybody in office.

00:52:43.100 Yeah.

00:52:43.320 You could probably randomly pick a

00:52:44.840 senator and there would be some

00:52:46.140 technical crimes, but you might not

00:52:47.980 care about them.

00:52:48.660 And you might be better off, you

00:52:51.260 know, not bugging your leaders on

00:52:53.280 the technical stuff.

00:52:54.760 So my view is not that he did or

00:52:56.820 did not commit any technical

00:52:58.480 crimes.

00:53:01.080 I think that he was not trying to do

00:53:03.100 an insurrection, per se.

00:53:07.020 And I think he probably doesn't want

00:53:08.680 you to see his documents in Boxgate.

00:53:11.740 So I'm not defending him.

00:53:15.320 I've never defended Trump for, let's

00:53:17.440 say, Trump University.

00:53:19.500 Have you ever heard me defend him

00:53:20.980 for that?

00:53:24.240 I think Trump is somewhat an open

00:53:26.600 book in terms of, you know, if you

00:53:29.400 think you want somebody who never did

00:53:32.980 anything with women that you wouldn't 0.80

00:53:34.540 approve of, well, he's not your guy.

00:53:37.140 He's just not your guy.

00:53:38.200 If you want the one who's told the

00:53:41.800 truth every time, no, he's not your

00:53:44.700 guy.

00:53:45.580 He is not your guy.

00:53:47.380 If you want somebody who will

00:53:48.920 probably accomplish a certain set of

00:53:51.860 things that you might want for your

00:53:53.180 country, he might be your guy.

00:53:55.900 But if you're judging your plumber by

00:53:58.360 whether he got divorced, you're going

00:54:01.400 to have bad plumbing.

00:54:03.620 Right?

00:54:04.580 If I hire a plumber, I say, are you

00:54:06.640 going to fix my plumbing?

00:54:07.980 Yes.

00:54:09.940 Do you have a gambling problem?

00:54:12.100 Well, yeah.

00:54:12.940 OK, I don't care.

00:54:15.600 Did you cheat on your wife?

00:54:16.900 I don't care.

00:54:17.840 I don't care.

00:54:18.700 Just fix the plumbing. 0.93

00:54:20.240 So Trump is a fix the plumbing kind

00:54:22.340 of guy in my world.

00:54:24.700 And by the way, if Joe Biden did all

00:54:27.120 of these alleged crimes and then was

00:54:29.400 also killing it in terms of getting

00:54:31.100 the country on the right track and

00:54:32.940 everything else looked like he was on

00:54:35.040 our side, I wouldn't feel the same.

00:54:38.580 I wouldn't.

00:54:39.380 I would be much closer to, yeah,

00:54:41.460 those were technical primes.

00:54:42.860 I could imagine myself saying, yeah,

00:54:46.840 Hunter raised some money for access,

00:54:48.740 but everybody does that.

00:54:50.660 Right?

00:54:51.560 Could you easily imagine me saying,

00:54:53.840 everybody does that.

00:54:55.340 It's like a universal government thing.

00:54:57.240 I could see that.

00:54:59.800 I could see it.

00:55:01.180 But if Biden looks like he's owned

00:55:03.700 by the entities that are giving money,

00:55:06.680 you know, does it look like he's

00:55:07.880 independent about Ukraine?

00:55:10.100 Well, the problem is we don't know

00:55:11.820 and we're spending a trillion dollars

00:55:13.340 or whatever it ends up being.

00:55:15.500 I'd like to be comfortable in knowing

00:55:17.300 he was not on the side of covering up

00:55:19.920 his own crimes.

00:55:21.540 I hope we didn't start a war

00:55:23.020 to cover up his crimes.

00:55:24.560 And I'm not sure about that.

00:55:26.300 I really don't know.

00:55:27.800 So let me give you an example.

00:55:30.480 If Biden had, let's say,

00:55:33.400 gotten into the Ukraine situation,

00:55:35.960 kind of quickly avoided a war

00:55:37.860 and negotiated some territory

00:55:39.560 and everybody came away being a little

00:55:41.700 unhappy, but at least it wasn't a war,

00:55:43.720 I'd be saying to myself,

00:55:45.500 you know, all those payments

00:55:46.900 look sketchy as hell.

00:55:48.380 But I have to admit,

00:55:50.440 he did a good job on Ukraine

00:55:51.760 if that were the case, right?

00:55:54.380 So under that situation,

00:55:56.680 you know, if we had a border

00:55:57.720 that's under control

00:55:58.740 and, you know, inflation looked good

00:56:01.380 and we had a robust, you know,

00:56:03.260 nuclear energy program

00:56:04.600 and no war in Ukraine

00:56:06.720 and it looked like Taiwan

00:56:08.440 would be fine because China 1.00

00:56:10.240 didn't want to mess with us.

00:56:11.560 Under all those conditions,

00:56:13.580 I'm not sure I would care

00:56:16.080 if Hunter Biden made a profit.

00:56:18.140 Honestly, I probably wouldn't care.

00:56:20.360 But he doesn't look like

00:56:21.900 he's working for us.

00:56:23.440 That I care about.

00:56:25.120 He doesn't look like

00:56:26.160 he's necessarily working for us.

00:56:28.540 He looks like he's working

00:56:29.580 for the cartels, Ukraine.

00:56:33.180 Biden is weird on China.

00:56:35.280 I'm going to give Biden some credit

00:56:37.240 on his dealing with China,

00:56:39.420 but I'm not sure

00:56:41.140 they don't have something

00:56:42.300 in reserve.

00:56:43.920 Meaning, I'm not sure

00:56:45.260 that China doesn't 0.99

00:56:46.580 have blackmail material.

00:56:48.920 At least on Hunter.

00:56:52.440 All right.

00:56:57.920 He has made it clear

00:56:59.060 who he works for himself.

00:57:00.960 Himself.

00:57:02.320 All right.

00:57:02.860 So yes,

00:57:03.540 if you see that I'm

00:57:04.900 morally flexible

00:57:06.520 about the technical crimes

00:57:09.900 of our leaders,

00:57:11.020 that's accurate.

00:57:12.260 I am morally flexible

00:57:13.320 about that.

00:57:14.320 Because I believe

00:57:15.600 the interest of the country

00:57:16.880 is bigger than that.

00:57:19.000 I don't believe

00:57:19.880 anybody is above the law.

00:57:22.160 Nobody believes that.

00:57:23.520 But I do believe

00:57:24.360 that you have to be human

00:57:25.360 and say,

00:57:26.040 all right,

00:57:26.380 risk, reward.

00:57:27.940 Damn it,

00:57:28.360 I don't like these risks,

00:57:29.600 but I do like this reward.

00:57:32.140 So.

00:57:33.840 You've seen

00:57:34.300 the blackmail material

00:57:35.320 in Hunter?

00:57:35.900 No,

00:57:36.240 because I think

00:57:36.760 the financial part

00:57:37.700 is the blackmail material.

00:57:40.460 The financial part.

00:57:41.600 Who gave him what

00:57:42.320 for what?

00:57:46.720 All right.

00:57:47.900 So.

00:57:50.320 Ladies and gentlemen,

00:57:51.340 I'm happy to see

00:57:52.000 that the locals platform

00:57:53.240 is working.

00:57:53.840 I switched to using

00:57:54.540 the browser version,

00:57:55.520 which seems to be

00:57:56.460 flawless so far.

00:58:02.440 How do you

00:58:03.260 blackmail the total sleeves?

00:58:04.620 You blackmail the total sleeves

00:58:06.080 by saying that

00:58:06.880 some of it is criminal

00:58:07.920 and you could go to jail.

00:58:10.640 So they're not going

00:58:11.540 to blackmail Hunter

00:58:12.340 over his drugs

00:58:14.140 or his girlfriends.

00:58:17.200 So I get it.

00:58:18.640 He's not,

00:58:19.140 he doesn't have a problem there.

00:58:24.520 Yeah.

00:58:25.920 Well,

00:58:26.400 there's a story.

00:58:27.240 Isn't there some weird story

00:58:28.440 about Hunter

00:58:30.400 with his niece?

00:58:32.300 I don't think that's true.

00:58:34.620 That does not sound

00:58:35.820 true to me.

00:58:37.060 That sounds a little,

00:58:38.920 I mean,

00:58:39.400 I suppose anything

00:58:40.440 could be true.

00:58:42.680 Anything could be true.

00:58:44.180 But that was a little

00:58:45.040 too on the nose.

00:58:47.040 Too on the nose.

00:58:48.660 I'm not buying that one.

00:58:51.000 You're going to need

00:58:51.660 a lot more

00:58:52.080 to convince me.

00:58:52.720 Oh, yeah.

00:58:53.500 So the,

00:58:54.120 here's the story.

00:58:55.300 So the Oakland,

00:58:56.460 the NAACP,

00:58:58.260 and I think it was

00:58:59.060 the local Oakland group,

00:59:02.660 wrote a big letter

00:59:03.840 complaining that

00:59:04.940 crime was out of control

00:59:06.620 and that the crime

00:59:08.160 was disproportionately

00:59:09.140 hurting people of color. 0.98

00:59:12.900 So there's Oakland.

00:59:14.640 Even the NAACP says,

00:59:16.620 what did you do?

00:59:17.700 You're,

00:59:18.180 you've destroyed the city.

00:59:19.460 Can't live here anymore.

00:59:20.520 Yeah.

00:59:26.160 So,

00:59:27.200 what do I say about that?

00:59:29.060 Well,

00:59:29.520 my current view

00:59:30.360 is

00:59:31.580 to not treat,

00:59:33.200 to not talk about averages.

00:59:36.880 So,

00:59:37.520 I don't think I'll be

00:59:38.260 successful totally.

00:59:39.720 But I'm going to talk

00:59:40.600 about individuals,

00:59:41.780 but not averages.

00:59:43.800 So,

00:59:44.440 if on average,

00:59:45.720 there are a lot of

00:59:46.160 one group getting killed,

00:59:47.800 I don't care.

00:59:48.380 But the individuals

00:59:50.780 who got killed,

00:59:51.640 I totally care about.

00:59:53.060 Does that make sense?

00:59:54.620 I don't care that

00:59:55.520 there's an average,

00:59:57.060 like there's a number

00:59:57.940 of some group

00:59:58.560 having a bad outcome.

00:59:59.700 I don't care about

01:00:00.240 the average.

01:00:01.300 I'm not going to be fooled

01:00:02.560 into managing averages.

01:00:05.100 I only want to

01:00:06.500 help people.

01:00:07.840 Because if there's

01:00:08.640 any person in Oakland

01:00:09.860 who says,

01:00:10.420 my God,

01:00:11.020 I want to live a

01:00:12.180 clean,

01:00:12.940 successful life,

01:00:14.220 can you help me

01:00:14.820 get out of this

01:00:15.360 hellhole?

01:00:16.260 I'd take that

01:00:17.040 pretty seriously.

01:00:18.940 Very seriously.

01:00:20.580 But if you tell me

01:00:21.440 my average of this

01:00:22.700 is not as good

01:00:23.540 as your average

01:00:24.320 of crime

01:00:25.860 or victimization,

01:00:27.180 I don't care.

01:00:28.360 Stop making me think

01:00:29.460 that I should manage

01:00:30.380 an average.

01:00:31.600 I'm not going to

01:00:32.180 manage anybody's

01:00:32.980 average performance.

01:00:34.700 No group's

01:00:35.380 average performance.

01:00:36.400 I'm not going to do it.

01:00:38.480 Don't want to talk

01:00:39.180 about it.

01:00:39.600 Don't want to care

01:00:40.180 about it.

01:00:41.020 And when I say

01:00:41.440 I don't care,

01:00:42.120 I mean I aggressively

01:00:43.020 want to not have

01:00:44.980 anything to do

01:00:45.660 with that kind of thinking.

01:00:46.560 Because I think

01:00:47.560 that's the biggest

01:00:48.240 thing that the,

01:00:50.680 I don't know

01:00:53.020 if it's the media

01:00:53.700 or there's some

01:00:54.420 secret cabal

01:00:55.520 of people who

01:00:56.140 want to keep

01:00:57.000 us controlled.

01:00:58.480 But having us

01:01:00.200 compare each other

01:01:02.120 by our averages,

01:01:05.620 is there anybody

01:01:06.200 here who wants

01:01:06.720 to be,

01:01:08.080 who wants their

01:01:08.820 fate to be

01:01:10.300 determined by the

01:01:11.320 average of the group

01:01:12.560 that somebody else

01:01:13.520 says you're in?

01:01:15.700 Is that,

01:01:16.240 do you want

01:01:16.660 your government

01:01:17.160 to say,

01:01:18.160 I think I'll

01:01:18.840 treat you

01:01:19.540 like the average

01:01:20.980 of the group

01:01:21.660 that other people

01:01:22.540 say you're in?

01:01:23.660 Not the one

01:01:24.460 you say you're in,

01:01:25.180 but other people

01:01:25.740 say you're in that

01:01:26.380 group.

01:01:27.540 No.

01:01:28.480 And if you

01:01:29.540 presented that

01:01:30.600 option to people,

01:01:31.680 hey,

01:01:32.480 how would you

01:01:32.920 like to be

01:01:33.580 driven by the

01:01:34.820 average of people

01:01:36.020 who look like you?

01:01:37.660 What do you mean

01:01:38.300 by that?

01:01:38.720 I mean we'll

01:01:39.080 actually change

01:01:39.680 the laws

01:01:40.300 so that people

01:01:41.640 like you

01:01:42.220 will either

01:01:42.980 have an advantage

01:01:43.740 or a disadvantage

01:01:44.440 based on the

01:01:45.100 average of people

01:01:46.420 like you

01:01:47.000 compared to the

01:01:48.300 average of other

01:01:49.060 people who don't

01:01:49.560 look like you.

01:01:50.820 You would never

01:01:51.480 agree to that,

01:01:52.600 would you?

01:01:53.520 Why would you

01:01:54.080 ever agree to that?

01:01:55.860 Wouldn't you

01:01:56.360 immediately say,

01:01:57.340 I'm not the

01:01:58.500 average of my

01:01:59.180 group.

01:02:00.260 I'm an American

01:02:01.140 and I'm an

01:02:02.680 individual.

01:02:04.240 So anybody

01:02:04.980 who wants to

01:02:05.580 be an American

01:02:06.220 and an individual,

01:02:09.100 glad to help.

01:02:10.960 Glad to help.

01:02:12.240 I like to help

01:02:12.960 individuals.

01:02:13.740 I love

01:02:14.060 individuals.

01:02:15.660 You know,

01:02:15.820 I got canceled

01:02:16.720 for something I

01:02:17.640 said about a

01:02:18.200 group average.

01:02:20.140 But nobody

01:02:20.900 asked me what I

01:02:21.560 think about the

01:02:22.100 individuals.

01:02:23.560 I love the

01:02:24.380 individuals.

01:02:25.680 I love black

01:02:26.280 people.

01:02:28.080 Black men,

01:02:28.800 black women, 0.99

01:02:29.580 black kids,

01:02:30.880 black grandmas.

01:02:32.280 I don't think

01:02:33.220 I've ever had a

01:02:34.040 personal negative

01:02:34.920 interaction with a

01:02:35.940 black person.

01:02:37.920 I don't even

01:02:38.580 remember one.

01:02:39.180 like I almost

01:02:40.760 always have

01:02:41.240 positive interactions.

01:02:42.740 So I love

01:02:43.400 black people

01:02:43.920 individually.

01:02:46.840 Individually,

01:02:47.340 I love them.

01:02:48.900 As an average

01:02:50.120 of a group,

01:02:50.840 I don't care.

01:02:52.060 Don't care about

01:02:52.840 the average

01:02:53.260 whatsoever.

01:02:53.840 But individually,

01:02:56.340 help you any

01:02:57.220 way you can.

01:02:58.200 So this is a

01:02:58.800 message I'll try

01:03:00.220 to get across

01:03:00.800 also.

01:03:01.620 Working with

01:03:02.380 Joshua Lysak,

01:03:03.620 trying to put

01:03:05.740 together a

01:03:06.420 student guide

01:03:07.580 that would help

01:03:08.580 individuals slice

01:03:10.680 through any

01:03:11.400 problems they

01:03:12.000 have that would 0.90

01:03:12.620 include systemic

01:03:13.520 racism.

01:03:14.760 Just treat people

01:03:15.500 as an individual

01:03:16.140 and you're going

01:03:16.700 to be in good

01:03:17.160 shape.

01:03:18.640 Speaking of

01:03:19.480 Joshua Lysak,

01:03:21.160 I just saw he

01:03:22.440 was tweeting,

01:03:23.440 there was an

01:03:23.960 article written

01:03:24.640 about him,

01:03:25.340 a big spread in

01:03:26.500 his local

01:03:27.100 newspaper,

01:03:27.740 and he says

01:03:29.240 I got half

01:03:29.840 of the facts

01:03:30.880 wrong.

01:03:33.340 And I was

01:03:34.340 thinking,

01:03:34.780 well,

01:03:35.080 welcome to

01:03:35.520 the big time.

01:03:36.940 Welcome to

01:03:37.640 being a public

01:03:38.220 figure.

01:03:39.460 So if you're

01:03:40.180 a public figure,

01:03:40.980 you understand

01:03:41.500 that all the

01:03:42.280 news about

01:03:42.860 public figures

01:03:43.680 is untrue.

01:03:46.180 I'm going to

01:03:46.740 tell you,

01:03:47.120 there's a story

01:03:48.380 in the news,

01:03:49.320 I'm going to

01:03:50.100 be general,

01:03:51.000 because I can't

01:03:51.460 be specific.

01:03:52.440 There's a story

01:03:53.080 in the news,

01:03:53.700 I'll say this

01:03:54.280 week,

01:03:55.200 where I

01:03:56.320 personally know

01:03:57.220 somebody who

01:03:57.720 was in the

01:03:58.260 room when

01:04:00.260 the most

01:04:01.080 important part

01:04:01.720 of the story

01:04:02.280 was planned

01:04:03.820 as a fake.

01:04:05.700 An actual

01:04:06.420 friend of

01:04:06.880 mine.

01:04:08.680 And I know

01:04:09.560 this is a

01:04:10.420 story that all

01:04:11.020 of you believe

01:04:11.720 has been true

01:04:12.340 forever.

01:04:13.740 It wasn't

01:04:14.140 true.

01:04:15.080 It was

01:04:15.400 completely made

01:04:16.240 up, and the

01:04:16.960 public has

01:04:17.480 believed it

01:04:18.000 from the first

01:04:18.540 day.

01:04:19.560 But I actually

01:04:20.200 know the guy

01:04:20.760 who was in

01:04:21.080 the room in

01:04:21.580 the conversation

01:04:22.240 about how

01:04:22.760 they would

01:04:23.040 fake it.

01:04:24.900 That's a

01:04:25.440 real thing.

01:04:26.580 Now, I can't

01:04:27.200 tell you how

01:04:27.680 many times I've

01:04:29.020 been in this

01:04:29.460 situation, where

01:04:30.880 I know the

01:04:31.860 actual person who

01:04:32.920 was involved, and

01:04:33.620 they're like, no,

01:04:34.240 nothing like that

01:04:34.920 happened.

01:04:35.520 And I believe

01:04:36.100 them because it's

01:04:37.060 somebody you know

01:04:37.560 personally.

01:04:38.360 They wouldn't

01:04:38.620 lie about, you

01:04:39.640 know, behind the

01:04:40.620 curtain, they tend

01:04:42.080 to tell the

01:04:42.520 truth.

01:04:43.740 So, no, it has

01:04:45.480 nothing to do with

01:04:46.420 Gutfeld.

01:04:47.520 It's just,

01:04:49.360 somebody else you

01:04:50.400 don't know who's

01:04:51.320 not a public

01:04:51.840 figure who just

01:04:52.640 happened to be in

01:04:53.220 a room once,

01:04:54.980 coincidentally, and

01:04:56.040 knew exactly how

01:04:57.560 the plot was put

01:04:58.560 together.

01:04:59.800 Now it's nobody

01:05:00.340 you know.

01:05:01.880 Nobody you

01:05:02.480 know.

01:05:04.040 My friend is

01:05:04.980 nobody you

01:05:05.520 know.

01:05:06.240 But the person

01:05:07.740 involved is a

01:05:08.420 famous person.

01:05:10.580 All right.

01:05:11.120 Yeah, if you

01:05:11.620 know any famous

01:05:12.460 people, you know

01:05:13.060 that all their

01:05:13.540 stories are fake,

01:05:14.460 all the news

01:05:15.080 stories.

01:05:15.840 Now, that doesn't

01:05:16.400 mean that any one

01:05:17.540 detail is wrong.

01:05:19.360 It just means that

01:05:20.200 whatever context

01:05:21.080 they're giving you

01:05:21.760 is their narrative.

01:05:23.000 It's not actually

01:05:23.700 what happened.

01:05:25.520 Yeah, don't try

01:05:26.140 to guess.

01:05:27.300 You won't be able

01:05:27.900 to do it.

01:05:32.280 Alameda County

01:05:33.040 voted the most

01:05:33.760 miserable in the

01:05:34.620 state of California.

01:05:35.720 That's my county.

01:05:37.140 So my county was

01:05:38.040 voted the most

01:05:38.700 miserable.

01:05:39.760 Well, here's the

01:05:41.220 good news and the

01:05:41.760 bad news.

01:05:42.180 It's a big county.

01:05:44.180 Where I live in,

01:05:45.200 my county would

01:05:46.000 be sort of a

01:05:47.540 dream zip code.

01:05:49.540 Like, kind of a

01:05:50.420 lot of people would

01:05:51.020 want to live in

01:05:51.480 the zip code.

01:05:52.340 But it includes

01:05:53.240 Oakland.

01:05:54.460 I'm pretty sure.

01:05:55.420 I believe I'm in

01:05:55.960 the same county as

01:05:56.740 Oakland.

01:05:57.540 And Oakland's, you

01:05:58.220 know, 40 minutes

01:06:00.580 away, 45 minutes

01:06:01.500 by car.

01:06:02.640 And Oakland would

01:06:04.120 be among the

01:06:04.620 worst places you

01:06:05.360 could ever live in

01:06:06.060 the world.

01:06:06.880 Anybody who lives

01:06:07.660 there voluntarily,

01:06:09.280 I don't even

01:06:09.860 understand.

01:06:11.220 You should get

01:06:12.120 the hell away

01:06:12.780 from there.

01:06:15.360 Kevin Spacey

01:06:16.320 was found

01:06:17.320 innocent of all

01:06:18.240 charges, right?

01:06:19.060 Or not guilty.

01:06:19.760 There's a

01:06:21.520 difference.

01:06:22.820 Kevin Spacey

01:06:23.520 was found not

01:06:24.180 guilty of all

01:06:24.760 charges.

01:06:28.400 Doesn't mean he's

01:06:29.160 not guilty,

01:06:29.860 unfortunately.

01:06:31.320 But in our

01:06:32.540 system, he's

01:06:33.720 innocent until

01:06:34.280 proven guilty, so

01:06:35.180 I think we have

01:06:35.780 to, whether you

01:06:37.300 like it or not, I

01:06:38.240 think we're going

01:06:38.700 to have to say

01:06:40.020 that that's the

01:06:40.580 case.

01:06:41.800 And by the way,

01:06:42.820 I would like

01:06:43.680 to give him

01:06:44.240 the benefit

01:06:46.400 of a real

01:06:47.120 doubt.

01:06:48.060 I actually

01:06:48.600 don't know if

01:06:49.200 he did anything.

01:06:50.340 I really don't

01:06:51.060 know.

01:06:52.180 And I'm not,

01:06:53.100 I'm also going

01:06:54.340 to remove any

01:06:55.020 suspicion I have.

01:06:56.960 Because I think

01:06:57.720 you just got to

01:06:58.280 let the legal

01:06:58.800 system handle it,

01:06:59.800 even if it gets

01:07:00.460 something wrong.

01:07:02.040 You just got to

01:07:03.700 buy into the

01:07:04.320 system, because

01:07:04.940 the system does

01:07:05.680 keep us pretty

01:07:06.400 safe.

01:07:07.460 So I do like

01:07:09.020 treating him as

01:07:10.680 though he's free

01:07:11.480 and clear.

01:07:15.000 Scott, do you

01:07:15.760 have a woman?

01:07:16.900 I do.

01:07:17.540 I got one locked

01:07:18.300 in a bedroom just

01:07:20.380 down the hallway.

01:07:22.720 Are you looking

01:07:23.320 to get her back?

01:07:24.480 It's not yours. 0.78

01:07:25.820 Does she belong 0.89

01:07:26.380 to you?

01:07:28.840 I don't know.

01:07:32.520 If you're not

01:07:33.500 on the locals

01:07:35.500 platform, the

01:07:36.320 subscription

01:07:36.780 platform, you

01:07:38.180 would not know

01:07:38.760 that my Robots

01:07:39.600 Read News

01:07:40.140 comic now has

01:07:41.320 added a second

01:07:42.100 character.

01:07:43.380 Because the

01:07:44.380 Robots Read News

01:07:45.140 is just a robot

01:07:46.100 who always reads

01:07:46.740 the news, makes

01:07:48.040 funny comments

01:07:49.480 about it.

01:07:50.500 But his firm,

01:07:52.940 the Robots Read

01:07:53.660 News company,

01:07:54.780 they got a

01:07:55.540 DEI professional,

01:07:57.640 and so they

01:07:58.020 had to add some

01:07:58.600 diversity to the

01:07:59.700 newscast.

01:08:00.940 And so they

01:08:01.740 wanted more of

01:08:04.360 an LGBTQ robot,

01:08:06.000 but robots don't 0.96

01:08:07.400 have sexual 0.66

01:08:09.000 preferences.

01:08:09.500 devices.

01:08:10.560 So the only

01:08:11.300 robots that do

01:08:12.260 were sex 0.63

01:08:12.820 bots.

01:08:14.220 So they had

01:08:15.140 to hire a

01:08:15.600 sex bot to

01:08:17.120 be the new

01:08:18.700 newsreader to

01:08:19.740 join the crew.

01:08:21.080 So now there's

01:08:21.760 a sex robot

01:08:24.120 who's on the

01:08:27.160 team.

01:08:29.200 Oh, I think

01:08:29.740 you'll enjoy it.

01:08:30.420 Also, I think I

01:08:33.640 told you that in

01:08:34.360 the Dilbert Reborn

01:08:35.320 comic, which you

01:08:36.160 can also see if

01:08:37.160 you subscribe to

01:08:38.700 it on Twitter,

01:08:40.220 and also in the

01:08:41.220 Locals platform,

01:08:42.980 scottadams.locals.com,

01:08:44.920 but Dilbert's

01:08:47.120 company is going to

01:08:47.820 be building a

01:08:48.600 suicide drone for

01:08:49.960 the military, but

01:08:51.920 they made the

01:08:52.380 mistake of adding

01:08:53.140 artificial intelligence

01:08:54.180 to the suicide

01:08:54.960 drone, and it no

01:08:55.900 longer wanted to

01:08:56.560 kill itself.

01:08:57.100 So Dilbert

01:09:00.580 will end up...

01:09:03.260 All right, let's

01:09:05.640 get rid of

01:09:06.280 Memo Jacks.

01:09:08.260 Goodbye.

01:09:12.300 So Dogware has

01:09:13.460 to talk the

01:09:14.220 suicide drone into

01:09:15.380 wanting to end

01:09:16.020 its life, because

01:09:16.980 once it got AI, it

01:09:17.980 wanted to live, and

01:09:18.780 therefore it was no

01:09:19.940 good as a suicide

01:09:20.720 drone.

01:09:21.660 So that's what's

01:09:22.840 happening.

01:09:23.960 Now, let me tell

01:09:26.140 you again,

01:09:27.100 getting cancelled

01:09:28.480 was just the

01:09:30.100 best thing.

01:09:31.580 I would have

01:09:32.160 hated it if it

01:09:32.980 happened year one

01:09:34.100 of my career, but

01:09:36.220 waiting until I'm

01:09:37.320 actually at

01:09:38.100 retirement age, and

01:09:39.860 then giving me the

01:09:40.640 freedom I always

01:09:41.680 wanted.

01:09:42.600 And by the way, I'd

01:09:43.300 always planned to

01:09:45.720 do whatever I

01:09:46.880 wanted once I

01:09:47.520 reached retirement

01:09:48.360 age, because I

01:09:50.060 did want to go

01:09:51.180 out with a bang.

01:09:52.740 I didn't think it

01:09:53.900 would happen so

01:09:54.340 quickly.

01:09:54.660 But the comics

01:09:58.000 that I've been

01:09:58.560 drawing for the

01:09:59.300 last several

01:10:00.240 months, since I

01:10:01.000 got cancelled, are

01:10:02.560 in my opinion, my

01:10:03.580 best work after 35

01:10:05.740 years.

01:10:06.400 It's different.

01:10:07.460 I mean, if you

01:10:07.800 just like office

01:10:08.460 jokes, it's a lot

01:10:11.980 more edgier than

01:10:12.680 that.

01:10:13.680 But most of the

01:10:14.640 people who are

01:10:15.080 reading it on the

01:10:15.620 platform say it's

01:10:16.400 my best work, and I

01:10:18.480 think so too.

01:10:19.080 because if you're

01:10:21.080 trying to write

01:10:21.760 under insane

01:10:23.240 constraints of, okay,

01:10:25.160 I have to make a

01:10:25.840 joke that every

01:10:27.180 member of the

01:10:27.820 family will be okay

01:10:28.860 with, mom, dad, and

01:10:31.120 the 10-year-old, and

01:10:32.680 they all got to know

01:10:33.300 that they're reading

01:10:33.840 it, they're fine.

01:10:34.860 But if you take the

01:10:35.820 10-year-old out of the

01:10:36.800 mix, which I could do

01:10:38.280 because it's a

01:10:39.080 subscription service

01:10:40.000 now, I could do

01:10:41.500 whatever I want.

01:10:42.300 And it's way

01:10:45.660 better in terms of

01:10:47.060 the outcome.

01:10:48.600 I think you'd

01:10:49.520 agree that there's

01:10:50.160 more laugh-out-loud

01:10:51.180 material if I can

01:10:53.720 do a full, you

01:10:54.900 know, full adult

01:10:56.300 treatment.

01:10:57.060 That's the feedback

01:10:57.980 I'm getting pretty

01:10:58.980 consistently.

01:11:00.980 All right.

01:11:03.760 Didn't Spacey have

01:11:04.540 an affair with a

01:11:05.260 young, blonde

01:11:05.860 teenager?

01:11:06.720 No, he did not.

01:11:09.820 Well, I mean, the

01:11:12.000 court case did not

01:11:13.040 say it was an

01:11:13.680 affair.

01:11:14.800 There was some

01:11:15.520 alleged interaction,

01:11:16.720 but not an affair,

01:11:17.380 no.

01:11:19.400 All right.

01:11:24.360 What?

01:11:28.480 Did you get

01:11:29.240 canceled on purpose?

01:11:31.260 Not precisely.

01:11:36.160 I knew I was

01:11:37.200 ramping up my

01:11:38.020 risk to put me

01:11:39.520 in the zone of

01:11:40.520 people who could

01:11:41.220 be easily

01:11:41.780 canceled, but I

01:11:43.220 didn't know that

01:11:43.960 I would get

01:11:44.640 thoroughly canceled.

01:11:46.880 And I didn't

01:11:47.420 know that the

01:11:48.020 internet would

01:11:48.600 erase any

01:11:50.000 mention of me

01:11:50.600 doing anything

01:11:51.200 useful my entire

01:11:52.360 life.

01:11:53.880 That part caught

01:11:54.860 me by surprise.

01:11:56.320 So I think RFK

01:11:57.120 Jr. had that

01:11:57.780 experience, right?

01:11:59.480 As soon as the

01:12:00.300 internet didn't like

01:12:01.080 him, all the good

01:12:01.780 news disappeared.

01:12:03.960 Do you know how

01:12:04.840 many good things

01:12:05.920 have been said

01:12:06.400 about me in,

01:12:07.620 you know, over

01:12:08.460 30 years of making

01:12:09.540 Dilbert comics?

01:12:10.360 Just imagine the

01:12:11.940 volume of, you

01:12:13.220 know, positivity

01:12:14.180 that that generated.

01:12:16.300 Now try to find

01:12:17.080 any of it.

01:12:18.200 It's all gone.

01:12:19.460 They erased all of

01:12:20.360 my books and all

01:12:21.700 of my comics.

01:12:23.080 So the public has

01:12:24.300 no access to them.

01:12:25.680 Now the books will

01:12:26.380 be available, I

01:12:28.040 think, in the next

01:12:28.500 two weeks, maybe,

01:12:30.260 if we do everything

01:12:31.120 right.

01:12:31.600 So you'll see my new

01:12:32.620 book and you'll see

01:12:33.260 how to fail at almost

01:12:34.140 everything and still

01:12:34.840 win big.

01:12:35.520 It'll be republished.

01:12:36.440 And I probably

01:12:40.160 will do a Dilbert

01:12:41.020 calendar, too.

01:12:42.660 But I want to wait

01:12:43.420 until I have a year

01:12:44.160 of the new Dilbert

01:12:45.840 Reborn comics, which

01:12:47.140 I'll have by February.

01:12:48.800 So I'll probably look

01:12:50.580 to make a deal with

01:12:51.760 an American calendar

01:12:53.520 maker sometime in the

01:12:56.120 next few months.

01:12:57.220 Yeah, a desk

01:12:57.640 calendar.

01:12:58.760 So there is a

01:13:00.020 company that's,

01:13:00.700 there's an American

01:13:01.320 company that pitched

01:13:02.200 me.

01:13:02.440 I just haven't

01:13:04.420 had time to look

01:13:05.080 into it.

01:13:05.660 And I want to make

01:13:06.360 sure I have enough

01:13:06.820 comics.

01:13:08.140 So I'm thinking

01:13:10.280 that instead of

01:13:11.380 Dilbert books, I

01:13:12.700 will publish only a

01:13:14.140 Dilbert calendar for

01:13:15.900 the people who did

01:13:16.960 not subscribe to see

01:13:18.140 it online.

01:13:19.500 And that once a year

01:13:20.620 you can buy a Dilbert

01:13:21.340 calendar and it'll be

01:13:22.160 the full year of

01:13:23.480 comics if you want to

01:13:25.140 get them that way.

01:13:26.460 But there won't be

01:13:27.680 any more advertiser

01:13:28.980 supported Dilbert

01:13:30.820 comics.

01:13:31.300 As soon as you

01:13:32.000 have advertiser

01:13:32.780 support, you're

01:13:34.320 owned.

01:13:34.800 You're owned by the 1.00

01:13:35.520 advertiser because

01:13:36.500 you're not going to

01:13:36.980 do something they

01:13:37.580 don't like.

01:13:39.300 So I'm a free

01:13:40.800 person.

01:13:41.820 You can buy it as a

01:13:43.360 subscription or buy

01:13:44.860 it as a calendar,

01:13:45.880 but you'll never have

01:13:46.820 to look at an

01:13:47.580 advertisement to see

01:13:48.500 it.

01:13:50.900 Depends on the

01:13:51.580 advertiser.

01:13:52.960 I don't know.

01:13:58.120 Does anyone put

01:13:59.120 voices in the

01:13:59.960 comments as they

01:14:00.840 read them?

01:14:01.300 What about your

01:14:05.960 audiobooks?

01:14:07.100 So I'm

01:14:07.800 negotiating with

01:14:08.900 an audiobook

01:14:10.020 reader who's

01:14:11.600 got a voice that's

01:14:12.500 in my range.

01:14:14.600 I tried doing the

01:14:15.740 audiobooks myself this

01:14:16.820 time and couldn't do

01:14:17.680 it because my

01:14:18.360 dyslexia was just

01:14:19.580 out of control.

01:14:20.660 My problem was I

01:14:21.340 can't read.

01:14:23.980 I know that sounds

01:14:24.820 weird, but I can't

01:14:27.240 read.

01:14:27.500 I speed read.

01:14:28.500 I speed read.

01:14:30.660 So probably when I

01:14:31.900 was 12 or so, I

01:14:33.480 taught myself to

01:14:34.360 speed read.

01:14:35.760 And speed reading is

01:14:36.680 a solution for

01:14:37.520 dyslexia.

01:14:38.900 I don't know if it

01:14:39.820 works for everybody.

01:14:41.000 I can only speak for

01:14:41.860 myself.

01:14:42.760 When you do speed

01:14:43.780 reading, you're just

01:14:44.420 looking for keywords,

01:14:45.340 keywords, and it

01:14:46.680 wouldn't even matter

01:14:47.400 if you saw the

01:14:47.980 matter of order.

01:14:49.580 So if the sentence

01:14:50.540 was, the boy went to

01:14:53.060 a baseball game at

01:14:54.420 Yankee Stadium, it

01:14:57.000 wouldn't matter if I

01:14:57.740 saw Yankee Stadium

01:14:59.100 baseball boy went.

01:15:01.120 So you could see it in

01:15:03.640 a Yoda order, and it's

01:15:05.600 exactly the same.

01:15:07.400 So as a speed reader, I

01:15:10.380 don't read things in

01:15:11.400 order or even try to.

01:15:13.120 I just look for the

01:15:14.120 keywords, and then my

01:15:15.260 brain reassembles them

01:15:16.420 into what it must say.

01:15:18.100 If I need to slow down

01:15:19.620 to really read a

01:15:20.840 sentence, I can do it.

01:15:22.500 I just have to read it

01:15:23.560 very slowly.

01:15:24.540 Not very slowly, but

01:15:25.760 substantially slower than

01:15:27.540 my normal reading

01:15:28.300 speed.

01:15:28.540 So I found that I no

01:15:31.500 longer had the ability

01:15:32.380 to read words in the

01:15:34.380 order that they are on

01:15:35.340 the screen.

01:15:36.440 I just couldn't do it.

01:15:38.600 And I knew I couldn't

01:15:39.620 get through it, so I

01:15:40.300 had to bail out.

01:15:42.160 So speed reading is

01:15:44.800 skimming, that's true.

01:15:45.940 It's skimming until you

01:15:47.080 find something that's

01:15:48.060 important, and then you

01:15:49.400 slow down.

01:15:50.680 So that's the way I do

01:15:51.780 it.

01:15:52.220 It also explains why I

01:15:53.860 don't like reading

01:15:54.560 fiction.

01:15:56.500 When I'm reading

01:15:57.340 nonfiction, I don't

01:15:58.320 need to read all the

01:15:59.040 words.

01:16:00.140 I'm like, blah, blah,

01:16:01.280 blah, new science

01:16:02.200 study says, blah, blah,

01:16:03.720 blah, eating candy

01:16:04.920 makes you live forever.

01:16:06.600 Right?

01:16:07.660 That's reading a

01:16:08.680 nonfiction.

01:16:10.760 That's actually what I

01:16:12.780 said in my mind is

01:16:13.600 almost exactly what's

01:16:14.780 happening when I'm

01:16:15.380 reading it.

01:16:16.300 I'm doing something

01:16:16.900 exactly like that.

01:16:18.380 Headline, all right,

01:16:19.260 it's a study, somebody

01:16:20.300 that Pew Research did

01:16:21.740 this and that, and

01:16:22.960 the conclusion is

01:16:24.060 blah, blah.

01:16:25.060 And, you know, so

01:16:26.480 maybe you pick out

01:16:27.200 10% of the article

01:16:28.280 and all the rest is

01:16:29.140 blah, blah, blah.

01:16:30.100 But if you're reading

01:16:31.000 fiction, the point of

01:16:33.460 it is the sentences.

01:16:35.100 Like every moment,

01:16:36.700 you know, you're

01:16:37.120 enjoying the

01:16:37.760 description of the

01:16:38.920 floral smells around

01:16:40.840 the murderer and stuff

01:16:42.060 like that.

01:16:43.780 So to me, reading

01:16:45.320 fiction is intolerable.

01:16:47.100 You just can't do it.

01:16:50.280 All right.

01:16:50.880 It has a YouTube

01:16:56.080 channel, okay.

01:17:00.180 You can get a lot

01:17:01.140 of filler words wrong

01:17:02.580 by speed reading.

01:17:03.520 That's correct.

01:17:04.580 So you're not

01:17:04.980 looking at the

01:17:05.660 IEMs, all that 1.00

01:17:08.640 stuff.

01:17:13.380 You got to read all

01:17:14.400 the words for

01:17:14.960 nonfiction?

01:17:16.020 No, you don't.

01:17:16.640 You've been

01:17:19.900 watching me for a

01:17:20.740 while, and I

01:17:21.940 haven't read all the

01:17:22.760 words of any

01:17:23.300 nonfiction.

01:17:24.280 Probably not once.

01:17:25.500 There's probably not

01:17:26.040 one article I read

01:17:26.940 all the words.

01:17:28.440 I'm sure there's no

01:17:29.540 article I've read all

01:17:30.280 the words.

01:17:36.440 All right.

01:17:39.580 Anybody else?

01:17:40.260 Is there any other

01:17:40.760 story I forgot today?

01:17:41.720 What's my MBTI?

01:17:47.380 What's that?

01:17:48.700 Oh, Myers-Briggs.

01:17:50.860 Myers-Briggs is

01:17:52.580 bullshit.

01:17:56.320 Does anybody think

01:17:57.040 Myers-Briggs is a

01:17:58.800 real and useful

01:17:59.980 tool?

01:18:02.940 No.

01:18:04.560 It's real in the

01:18:06.280 sense that it

01:18:06.940 exists.

01:18:08.180 But the

01:18:09.500 problem is not

01:18:10.400 the problem is

01:18:11.180 not that you

01:18:11.700 don't identify

01:18:13.260 with one's own

01:18:14.520 of their idea

01:18:16.100 there.

01:18:16.960 So it is true 0.87

01:18:17.860 that people have

01:18:18.460 different characteristics,

01:18:20.080 but it doesn't

01:18:21.000 really tell you

01:18:21.500 what to do

01:18:21.940 about it.

01:18:23.380 It doesn't.

01:18:25.300 And nobody's

01:18:26.840 ever found some

01:18:27.560 big benefit the

01:18:28.460 company got because

01:18:29.320 they introduced

01:18:29.980 Myers-Briggs.

01:18:31.660 It's not a

01:18:32.380 thing.

01:18:33.060 If you looked at

01:18:33.640 all the Myers-Briggs 1.00

01:18:34.600 companies compared

01:18:35.460 to all the others,

01:18:37.540 you're not going

01:18:38.460 to find they do

01:18:38.940 better.

01:18:39.200 So I think

01:18:40.880 it's a little

01:18:41.240 closer to

01:18:41.860 astrology than

01:18:42.800 to science,

01:18:43.840 even though the

01:18:45.100 categorizing of

01:18:46.300 people is probably

01:18:47.060 reasonably accurate

01:18:48.960 because it's

01:18:49.640 self-reported.

01:18:50.660 But what you do

01:18:51.660 about it,

01:18:52.900 that's where the

01:18:54.380 gap is.

01:18:55.060 What do you do

01:18:55.520 about it?

01:18:56.440 All right,

01:18:56.740 so I'm shy,

01:18:58.540 and whatever,

01:18:59.800 whatever,

01:19:00.260 and you're the

01:19:00.760 other thing,

01:19:01.380 now what do we

01:19:01.880 do?

01:19:02.060 What do you do?

01:19:03.260 I don't know.

01:19:09.360 It's good for

01:19:10.260 interpersonal

01:19:10.900 relationships?

01:19:11.900 I don't believe

01:19:12.480 that.

01:19:13.840 Don't believe it

01:19:14.640 for a second.

01:19:17.000 Let me tell you

01:19:17.920 how I can improve

01:19:18.980 my interpersonal

01:19:19.780 relationships without

01:19:21.000 the Myers-Briggs

01:19:21.880 test.

01:19:23.280 Huh.

01:19:24.100 My partner just

01:19:25.120 says she's really

01:19:25.840 shy and likes to

01:19:26.960 spend a lot of

01:19:27.500 time alone.

01:19:28.700 Here's what I'm

01:19:29.320 going to do.

01:19:30.640 I'm going to

01:19:31.320 avoid situations

01:19:32.300 that shy people

01:19:33.040 don't like,

01:19:34.260 and I'm going to

01:19:35.060 agree to the

01:19:36.280 fact that she

01:19:36.880 spends a lot of

01:19:37.440 time alone.

01:19:40.640 There's nothing

01:19:41.360 about the Myers-Briggs

01:19:42.500 thing that's going

01:19:43.220 to tell you

01:19:43.580 something you

01:19:44.060 didn't know

01:19:44.620 automatically.

01:19:49.140 If somebody has

01:19:50.080 a certain kind

01:19:50.800 of personality,

01:19:51.600 you always know

01:19:52.300 what to do,

01:19:53.540 and you always

01:19:54.280 know it's their

01:19:54.760 personality.

01:19:57.920 There are no

01:19:58.840 surprises when

01:19:59.660 you're dealing

01:20:00.020 with somebody

01:20:00.460 that you know

01:20:00.880 personally.

01:20:01.620 Oh, you're

01:20:02.080 one of those

01:20:02.520 people.

01:20:03.140 Oh, you like

01:20:03.740 praise.

01:20:04.820 Oh, I'll give

01:20:05.200 you some praise.

01:20:06.380 It's basically

01:20:07.080 that.

01:20:08.600 You don't need

01:20:09.100 a big old

01:20:10.300 process for that.

01:20:13.440 You don't need

01:20:14.220 to break it

01:20:14.760 into four

01:20:15.220 quadrants or

01:20:16.360 anything else.

01:20:22.660 Yeah, so I

01:20:23.500 have written

01:20:23.920 fiction, but

01:20:25.900 you understand

01:20:27.640 that writing is

01:20:28.380 easier than

01:20:28.840 reading, right?

01:20:30.540 There are

01:20:31.400 years in which

01:20:32.060 I've written

01:20:32.880 more books

01:20:33.480 than I read,

01:20:34.960 literally,

01:20:36.160 because there

01:20:36.540 are years that

01:20:36.960 I don't read

01:20:37.420 any book,

01:20:38.180 and I might

01:20:38.560 write two.

01:20:40.140 So that's

01:20:41.620 happened.

01:20:44.640 All right.

01:20:46.600 That's all I

01:20:47.220 got for now,

01:20:48.380 and oh, I

01:20:50.220 love this

01:20:50.600 comment.

01:20:51.780 One of the

01:20:52.300 comments from

01:20:52.940 American Boss

01:20:53.760 says, love these

01:20:54.560 chats, it's adult

01:20:55.720 college.

01:20:57.240 You know, it's

01:20:57.740 funny because I

01:20:58.320 think of it that

01:20:58.860 way.

01:21:00.000 Does anybody

01:21:00.620 have that

01:21:01.240 experience where

01:21:02.560 watching my

01:21:03.320 live streams

01:21:03.980 feels like you're

01:21:06.000 learning something

01:21:06.740 that adults

01:21:07.500 should have

01:21:08.040 learned before,

01:21:08.880 but for some

01:21:09.400 reason you

01:21:10.500 missed it?

01:21:12.340 Because that's

01:21:12.920 what I'm

01:21:13.140 shooting for.

01:21:14.040 I'm shooting

01:21:14.660 for how could I

01:21:15.560 be an adult my

01:21:16.380 entire life and

01:21:17.160 I never heard

01:21:17.620 that, or I

01:21:19.200 never thought of

01:21:19.740 it that way.

01:21:21.600 Oh, everybody's

01:21:22.240 saying yes.

01:21:24.300 Oh, this is

01:21:25.560 very gratifying.

01:21:27.140 I'm actually,

01:21:27.700 you can't, maybe

01:21:28.860 I'm not showing

01:21:29.500 it, but I'm

01:21:31.200 super happy right

01:21:32.220 now.

01:21:33.360 I'm super happy

01:21:34.600 that what in my

01:21:36.800 mind was my

01:21:37.640 intention for

01:21:38.420 this is exactly

01:21:39.840 what you're

01:21:40.340 getting.

01:21:41.280 Like that, that

01:21:41.860 your intention,

01:21:42.900 your impression of

01:21:43.760 it is exactly what

01:21:44.700 I hoped you would

01:21:45.300 see.

01:21:46.340 Well, best day

01:21:48.400 ever.

01:21:49.860 Seriously.

01:21:51.180 This is like the

01:21:51.740 best day ever

01:21:52.280 for me.

01:21:54.600 You know, the

01:21:55.500 reason I do

01:21:58.280 this, you

01:21:59.600 know, there's

01:21:59.880 obviously I

01:22:00.580 monetize it, so

01:22:01.520 there's a

01:22:01.840 financial reason,

01:22:02.660 et cetera, but

01:22:03.340 there are a

01:22:03.640 million things I

01:22:04.320 could do to

01:22:05.240 make money.

01:22:06.020 This isn't like

01:22:06.940 number one way I

01:22:07.820 could make money.

01:22:08.700 It's not even

01:22:09.140 close.

01:22:10.920 So obviously I'm

01:22:11.940 doing it for some

01:22:12.560 reason other than

01:22:13.160 money, and this

01:22:14.340 is it.

01:22:15.560 This is it.

01:22:16.220 This is my

01:22:16.680 payoff.

01:22:17.420 The reason I'm

01:22:18.180 making a guide

01:22:19.680 for students

01:22:20.960 to teach them

01:22:22.920 the rules of

01:22:24.120 success is

01:22:26.240 because it

01:22:27.920 feels like the

01:22:28.700 biggest lever in

01:22:29.680 the universe.

01:22:31.120 Like if you

01:22:31.880 could teach a

01:22:33.660 teenager the

01:22:35.460 tools of success

01:22:36.580 so they really

01:22:37.380 knew don't do

01:22:38.120 this, do this,

01:22:39.500 how much of a

01:22:41.320 difference would

01:22:41.780 that make?

01:22:43.500 So I would

01:22:44.460 actually take it

01:22:45.040 further.

01:22:45.280 I actually

01:22:46.380 believe that

01:22:47.920 if the guide

01:22:49.940 that we finish

01:22:50.760 up pretty soon

01:22:51.440 and put out,

01:22:53.040 again working

01:22:53.760 with Joshua

01:22:54.680 Lysak, and

01:22:56.560 it could change

01:22:59.400 everything.

01:23:00.340 It could

01:23:00.740 actually be the

01:23:02.040 difference between

01:23:02.900 America being

01:23:03.740 competitive in the

01:23:04.700 future and

01:23:06.060 losing to somebody

01:23:07.040 else.

01:23:07.360 Dyslexics.

01:23:13.480 All right.

01:23:17.760 Do you have a

01:23:18.480 pointer that

01:23:18.900 would help my

01:23:19.300 son who is

01:23:19.900 dyslexic?

01:23:21.680 Yes.

01:23:24.900 The dyslexics

01:23:25.980 need to come

01:23:27.240 up with

01:23:27.900 techniques for

01:23:30.840 managing it.

01:23:32.120 But I would

01:23:32.880 definitely teach

01:23:33.740 speed reading.

01:23:34.520 the school

01:23:37.720 system will

01:23:38.600 require people

01:23:39.360 to read every

01:23:40.020 word, looking

01:23:41.660 for grammar

01:23:42.300 and stuff like

01:23:42.820 that, but

01:23:43.940 also teach

01:23:45.120 speed reading.

01:23:47.060 So teach your

01:23:47.660 kid to pick

01:23:48.360 out keywords

01:23:48.980 and then know

01:23:50.720 what the

01:23:51.040 keywords must

01:23:51.820 mean because

01:23:52.760 if you see

01:23:54.140 the keywords,

01:23:54.820 you know what

01:23:55.140 the sentence

01:23:55.480 means.

01:23:57.340 So teach

01:23:59.620 them that

01:24:00.060 there are a

01:24:00.720 couple things.

01:24:01.820 Dyslexics,

01:24:03.080 can anybody

01:24:03.500 give me a

01:24:03.940 confirmation

01:24:04.300 of this?

01:24:05.080 This might

01:24:05.520 be fake

01:24:05.960 news, but

01:24:06.380 I think it's

01:24:06.740 real.

01:24:07.500 Is it

01:24:07.800 true that

01:24:08.140 dyslexics tend

01:24:10.100 to be above

01:24:10.640 average in

01:24:11.140 intelligence?

01:24:12.620 Have you

01:24:13.100 ever read

01:24:13.480 that?

01:24:14.680 Can anybody

01:24:15.340 confirm that

01:24:16.020 that's true,

01:24:16.640 or is that

01:24:16.920 just some

01:24:17.400 sketchy study

01:24:18.260 that I

01:24:18.600 shouldn't

01:24:18.840 believe?

01:24:20.360 I think

01:24:20.920 it's true.

01:24:21.780 Do you

01:24:22.160 want to hear

01:24:22.500 my wildest

01:24:23.720 hypothesis for

01:24:27.140 dyslexia?

01:24:28.700 I don't know

01:24:29.420 if you've

01:24:29.700 ever heard

01:24:30.040 this one

01:24:30.360 before.

01:24:31.480 So

01:24:31.600 dyslexia,

01:24:32.380 you're seeing

01:24:32.720 things out of

01:24:33.380 order.

01:24:34.300 What would

01:24:35.080 be another

01:24:35.540 way of

01:24:36.740 saying you

01:24:37.260 see things

01:24:37.800 out of

01:24:38.140 order?

01:24:40.080 What would

01:24:40.600 be another

01:24:40.920 way to

01:24:41.200 phrase that

01:24:41.840 or frame

01:24:42.360 it?

01:24:42.680 I see

01:24:42.980 things out

01:24:43.820 of order.

01:24:47.140 Differently,

01:24:48.740 unpatterned,

01:24:49.820 nonlinear,

01:24:50.700 you're close,

01:24:51.420 creative,

01:24:52.200 no,

01:24:52.640 no,

01:24:53.220 transposing,

01:24:54.060 no.

01:24:55.040 Oh, is this

01:24:55.640 not obvious?

01:24:56.320 I thought this

01:24:56.780 would be more

01:24:57.180 obvious.

01:24:57.520 I don't

01:24:59.300 see the

01:25:00.620 arrow of

01:25:01.060 time.

01:25:02.440 That's what

01:25:02.840 I was

01:25:03.000 looking for.

01:25:04.180 I do

01:25:04.680 not

01:25:04.940 recognize

01:25:05.420 the

01:25:05.700 arrow of

01:25:06.320 time.

01:25:07.640 All of

01:25:08.220 you who

01:25:08.680 are not

01:25:09.000 dyslexic

01:25:09.740 live in a

01:25:10.820 world in

01:25:11.320 which the

01:25:12.720 cause happens

01:25:13.620 before the

01:25:14.300 effect.

01:25:15.260 Am I

01:25:15.560 right?

01:25:16.240 There's a

01:25:16.780 cause,

01:25:17.360 and then

01:25:17.700 there's

01:25:17.880 effect,

01:25:18.560 and it

01:25:18.940 never goes

01:25:19.360 the other

01:25:19.660 way.

01:25:20.580 There's

01:25:20.820 never the

01:25:21.260 effect,

01:25:21.900 and then

01:25:22.840 the cause,

01:25:23.580 right?

01:25:24.300 Everything

01:25:24.660 goes,

01:25:26.200 a sentence

01:25:26.820 is in the

01:25:28.640 order you

01:25:29.880 see it.

01:25:30.700 If somebody's

01:25:31.340 talking to

01:25:31.780 you on the

01:25:32.100 phone,

01:25:33.020 they give

01:25:33.360 you a 0.57

01:25:33.580 phone number,

01:25:35.160 the numbers

01:25:36.020 that they

01:25:36.320 give you

01:25:36.680 are in

01:25:37.100 the correct

01:25:37.780 order,

01:25:38.400 and that's

01:25:38.700 the end

01:25:39.180 of the

01:25:39.380 story.

01:25:40.100 So you

01:25:40.480 all live

01:25:41.240 in a

01:25:41.440 world in

01:25:41.840 which the

01:25:42.320 dyslexics

01:25:43.140 are seeing

01:25:44.540 the world

01:25:45.120 less accurately.

01:25:46.720 Am I

01:25:46.980 correct?

01:25:48.100 Your belief

01:25:48.860 is that

01:25:49.240 dyslexics see

01:25:50.380 the world

01:25:50.940 less accurately.

01:25:53.320 Yes or

01:25:53.700 no?

01:25:54.740 That's the

01:25:55.420 whole idea,

01:25:55.960 right?

01:25:56.940 The dyslexics

01:25:57.760 don't see

01:25:58.200 what you

01:25:58.520 see.

01:25:58.840 You're

01:25:59.000 seeing it

01:25:59.380 accurately.

01:26:00.440 They're

01:26:00.740 seeing it

01:26:01.160 inaccurately.

01:26:02.560 I don't

01:26:03.180 believe that.

01:26:04.700 I believe

01:26:05.160 the dyslexics

01:26:05.960 are seeing

01:26:06.400 it closer

01:26:07.040 to accurate

01:26:07.720 because I

01:26:09.560 don't see

01:26:10.360 an arrow

01:26:10.720 of time.

01:26:12.380 And I

01:26:13.020 actually live

01:26:13.680 in a world

01:26:14.200 that's not

01:26:14.720 ordered all

01:26:16.040 the time.

01:26:17.340 Now that's

01:26:17.700 hard to

01:26:18.000 explain,

01:26:19.380 but I do

01:26:20.080 not see the

01:26:20.780 arrow of

01:26:21.280 time like

01:26:21.780 you do.

01:26:22.800 I don't see

01:26:23.600 things one

01:26:24.480 after another.

01:26:25.480 I see them

01:26:26.440 all here at

01:26:27.080 the same

01:26:27.440 time.

01:26:29.660 So I live

01:26:30.440 in a world

01:26:30.800 in which

01:26:31.160 everything is

01:26:31.760 here,

01:26:32.800 past,

01:26:33.920 current,

01:26:34.320 and future,

01:26:35.260 and that the

01:26:36.960 only thing

01:26:37.340 moving through

01:26:37.860 them is my

01:26:38.400 consciousness.

01:26:40.520 The things

01:26:41.020 are all here,

01:26:43.580 so it's like

01:26:44.060 all the

01:26:44.940 realities in

01:26:45.600 a cube.

01:26:46.260 of all,

01:26:47.660 I've said

01:26:48.300 this before,

01:26:48.940 imagine a

01:26:49.680 three-dimensional

01:26:50.560 cube that

01:26:52.280 if you're at

01:26:52.800 the center

01:26:53.220 of it,

01:26:53.700 from that

01:26:54.100 center point

01:26:54.780 flowing in

01:26:55.880 each direction

01:26:56.440 would be

01:26:56.820 something that's

01:26:57.920 almost exactly

01:26:59.060 like your

01:26:59.580 current timeline,

01:27:01.300 but each

01:27:01.700 one's a little

01:27:02.180 different,

01:27:03.480 representing

01:27:04.060 every possibility.

01:27:06.380 So my

01:27:07.060 view is that

01:27:07.880 we're moving

01:27:08.340 through this

01:27:09.020 possibilities,

01:27:10.640 and the only

01:27:10.960 thing that's

01:27:11.340 moving is our

01:27:12.060 consciousness,

01:27:13.420 if you want to

01:27:13.800 put it that

01:27:14.160 way,

01:27:14.820 like the

01:27:15.440 control of

01:27:16.080 a computer

01:27:16.520 program.

01:27:17.780 The computer

01:27:18.340 program is not

01:27:19.220 all operating

01:27:20.120 at the same

01:27:20.600 time.

01:27:21.840 It exists at

01:27:22.700 the same

01:27:23.020 time,

01:27:24.120 theoretically,

01:27:24.980 but the

01:27:26.220 control is

01:27:27.040 only working

01:27:27.660 on where

01:27:28.360 the control

01:27:28.880 is at the

01:27:29.360 moment,

01:27:29.680 what's

01:27:29.900 happening

01:27:30.180 right now.

01:27:31.280 So I

01:27:31.520 think that

01:27:31.880 that's much

01:27:34.140 like what

01:27:35.380 we are.

01:27:36.580 Somehow our

01:27:37.080 consciousness is

01:27:37.900 moving through

01:27:38.380 the program,

01:27:39.440 but the

01:27:39.960 program isn't

01:27:40.620 moving.

01:27:42.220 The program

01:27:43.340 just sits

01:27:43.880 there.

01:27:44.840 The only

01:27:45.360 thing that

01:27:45.660 moves through

01:27:46.020 a computer

01:27:46.500 program is

01:27:47.160 where you

01:27:48.080 are in the

01:27:48.460 execution,

01:27:49.260 like consciousness.

01:27:51.480 What if

01:27:52.000 there's no

01:27:52.380 consciousness?

01:27:53.420 Well,

01:27:54.500 there's something

01:27:55.720 happening.

01:27:56.460 I don't know

01:27:56.880 what you want

01:27:57.240 to call it,

01:27:57.700 but there's

01:27:58.000 something happening

01:27:58.620 right now,

01:27:59.000 even if it's

01:27:59.560 an illusion.

01:28:02.780 It's word

01:28:03.420 thinking,

01:28:03.860 you say.

01:28:05.900 Maybe.

01:28:07.160 Maybe it

01:28:07.700 is.

01:28:10.420 You think

01:28:11.080 in objects,

01:28:11.800 okay?

01:28:13.340 Doesn't

01:28:17.940 the program

01:28:18.440 crash if

01:28:19.080 execution is

01:28:19.920 out of

01:28:20.200 order?

01:28:21.800 Well,

01:28:22.320 I'm not

01:28:22.600 saying it's

01:28:22.960 not out

01:28:23.360 of order,

01:28:24.760 although a

01:28:26.740 program does

01:28:28.240 not have a

01:28:28.820 predictable

01:28:29.280 order,

01:28:31.080 because it

01:28:31.720 could have

01:28:32.220 different

01:28:32.500 starting points

01:28:33.320 and different

01:28:33.880 inputs along

01:28:35.260 the way.

01:28:36.520 So,

01:28:37.300 I don't

01:28:37.540 know.

01:28:38.760 Anyway,

01:28:39.400 I just

01:28:39.700 thought I'd

01:28:39.980 put out

01:28:40.220 these weird

01:28:40.660 ideas,

01:28:41.340 and that's

01:28:42.080 good enough

01:28:42.480 for today.

01:28:43.360 I'm going

01:28:43.600 to go do

01:28:43.960 some other

01:28:44.300 stuff on

01:28:44.700 YouTube.

01:28:45.200 Thanks for

01:28:45.600 joining.

01:28:46.420 You're

01:28:46.900 amazing.

01:28:47.920 See you

01:28:48.340 tomorrow.

01:28:48.600 See you

01:28:49.500 tomorrow.
