Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2185 Scott Adams： Lots Of News About The Fake News (Spoiler： It's All Fake) Bring Coffee

00:00:00.000 You're only the second technical problem I've had in the last 10 seconds.

00:00:03.960 So we've got bad sound on one platform, bad video on the other,

00:00:07.460 but between the two of them, perfect.

00:00:10.540 How would you like to take this experience up to, well,

00:00:13.980 levels that I don't think anybody could possibly understand?

00:00:17.920 You'd like that.

00:00:19.740 All you need to do that is a cup of mug or a glass of tanker,

00:00:22.340 chalice, and a canteen jug or flask of best of liberty kind.

00:00:26.360 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:27.700 I like coffee.

00:00:28.880 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:31.880 the dopamine at the end of the day.

00:00:32.900 The thing that makes everything better.

00:00:34.000 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:37.700 Go.

00:00:41.780 That's pretty good.

00:00:43.000 Pretty good.

00:00:44.160 I think everything's back on track now.

00:00:46.440 There was a little bit of disruption at the beginning.

00:00:48.760 But wouldn't you say things are going perfectly now?

00:00:51.880 Probably at your house as well as mine.

00:00:54.560 Well, I was just watching a video of Joe Rogan talking to comedian Jim Gaffigan.

00:01:01.560 And it was a fascinating little clip in which Jim Gaffigan said, you know, that January 6th thing was pretty bad.

00:01:10.460 And then he got to listen to Joe Rogan, who obviously is going pretty deep into the January 6th rabbit hole,

00:01:20.280 explain to him the relationship between the intelligence groups and the president and the public,

00:01:29.820 and kind of laid out a whole bunch of things that it looked to me as if Jim had not ever heard before.

00:01:37.040 Now, I saw somebody tweeting around in a sort of a mocking way to Jim Gaffigan,

00:01:46.620 that he'd been destroyed, you know, Joe Rogan destroys Jim Gaffigan.

00:01:52.240 That's not what happened.

00:01:54.320 So let me give you some behind-the-scenes, little behind-the-scenes story, in case you see that clip.

00:02:00.860 You should watch the clip, by the way.

00:02:02.480 So it's Joe Rogan talking to Jim Gaffigan.

00:02:05.560 Just search for it, you'll see it.

00:02:08.060 But, so here's some behind-the-curtains, little personal knowledge about this situation.

00:02:14.700 Several years ago, I was in Vegas, and it was with my ex, and we were going to a Jim Gaffigan stand-up show.

00:02:22.820 And I had done a TV commercial for Barnes & Noble years before that,

00:02:29.860 in which Jim Gaffigan was the host of the TV commercial,

00:02:34.000 and I appeared as an author who was in Barnes & Noble.

00:02:38.400 So we spent a day, and I thought, oh, I know him.

00:02:41.660 I know Jim Gaffigan.

00:02:42.960 I'll ask if I can say hi after the show.

00:02:46.200 So we were both not very famous when we did the commercial.

00:02:49.740 So it turns out he didn't remember me at all.

00:02:53.660 I spent a whole day with him.

00:02:55.560 He didn't remember me at all, which is not surprising, because I was a new author,

00:03:01.860 and I might not have remembered him, except that he became famous pretty quickly after that.

00:03:08.200 So I, you know, I remembered him.

00:03:09.680 So I sent a note to the, you know, one of the guys working at the theater there,

00:03:16.500 and I said, hey, can you tell Jim Gaffigan I want to say hi after the show,

00:03:20.960 thinking he would remember that he spent a day with me.

00:03:24.080 Well, he didn't remember that, but he's a really nice guy,

00:03:29.720 and he knew what Dilbert was, so he said, yeah, come on back after the show.

00:03:34.700 So my ex and I went back, and it was just hanging out with him.

00:03:40.020 We just hung out for, I don't know, an hour or so, chatting about stuff.

00:03:44.660 And here's what I want to tell you.

00:03:46.640 If you imagine that you just assume he's on one side in politics,

00:03:52.020 and that maybe Joe Rogan was on the other side,

00:03:54.500 and that they had a, you know, a conversation,

00:03:57.200 and it looked like Joe Rogan knew more than he did.

00:03:59.240 That's not exactly what was happening.

00:04:02.980 I can tell you from my own interaction that Gaffigan is simply open-minded.

00:04:08.640 That's it. That's it.

00:04:10.680 He listened completely, you know, when I told him things that maybe he hadn't heard before,

00:04:16.720 and he's just a seeker.

00:04:20.400 I would say he's somebody who's curious about politics

00:04:24.200 and is completely aware that he doesn't have the whole story.

00:04:27.820 That's exactly who you want in your country, right?

00:04:33.400 So, you know, maybe Gaffigan has some politics that leans in some other way than you do.

00:04:38.460 Maybe yes, maybe no.

00:04:39.740 But you want more of him.

00:04:42.660 He's not closed on any question.

00:04:45.740 Completely open to listen to fully.

00:04:48.320 Fully listen to any explanation on the other side.

00:04:51.480 He's one of the good guys.

00:04:52.440 So I wouldn't, I'd hate to see this characterized as, you know,

00:04:56.620 somebody beat him down in this conversation or something.

00:04:59.740 That wasn't what was happening.

00:05:01.480 If you watch it, if you watch it, you'll see him absorbing what Rogan is saying without rejecting it.

00:05:10.060 That's some good, that's like, that's America, right?

00:05:13.600 That's sort of the America I want to live in, where somebody disagrees, but they fully, fully listen to the other side.

00:05:21.740 Incorporate it, modify their opinions a little bit as warranted.

00:05:26.260 That's some good stuff.

00:05:27.480 That's the best of us.

00:05:29.340 So I love that.

00:05:31.760 I've got a new troll response.

00:05:35.080 Do you know, well, maybe you don't get them as much as I do,

00:05:38.240 but if you're a public figure, you get the trolls that come in and just insult you.

00:05:44.240 Just nothing else.

00:05:46.200 It's just like, ah, this guy, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:05:49.520 So I came up with a new troll response that I'm liking a lot.

00:05:53.060 I'd like to share it with you.

00:05:54.940 So I tweeted back at one of my trolls today.

00:05:57.160 It doesn't matter who or what they said, just troll stuff.

00:06:00.260 And I said, did you wake up this morning intending to be a useless turd on the sidewalk of humanity,

00:06:05.140 or did it just happen?

00:06:08.240 I feel like you should borrow that.

00:06:11.700 A useless turd on the sidewalk of humanity.

00:06:15.260 It's kind of 2023, isn't it?

00:06:17.840 You don't want to use some old 1950s saying when you could update that to a turd on the sidewalk of humanity

00:06:25.000 and then just walk away.

00:06:28.280 All right, one of my favorite stories.

00:06:30.040 Remind me if I talked about this already.

00:06:32.140 Hunter Biden reached a deal on child support with his baby mama in which he would pay some amount of cash.

00:06:41.980 But then I guess to complete the deal, he also agreed that he would give the mother of his child some of his artwork.

00:06:48.600 So he'd give him some artwork as part of the compensation.

00:06:54.880 Now, remember when Joe Biden said that Hunter Biden was the smartest person he knew?

00:07:03.140 And you all laughed?

00:07:05.060 Oh, he's not the smartest person.

00:07:07.760 That was before he made tens of millions of dollars overseas and started selling his paintings for millions.

00:07:17.320 Who's the dumb one now?

00:07:19.320 He might be the smartest person you know.

00:07:21.600 He's not in jail.

00:07:22.680 He's lived his life on coke and hookers, which apparently he enjoyed quite a bit.

00:07:29.300 And he's still making a million dollars and he's still free.

00:07:33.380 If he's not the smartest person you know, who's doing better?

00:07:41.700 I know.

00:07:42.700 Maybe you don't want that lifestyle, but maybe he does.

00:07:46.720 Maybe he had exactly the life that he wanted, and so far it's working out great.

00:07:52.680 I don't know.

00:07:53.840 Just putting that out there.

00:07:55.160 But here's the funny thing.

00:07:57.280 Imagine negotiating with your ex, and you say, all right, I don't want to give you this cash every month, or at least not so much, but here's one of my paintings.

00:08:06.420 And the ex says, that's just like a thing to hang on the wall.

00:08:11.080 He goes, no.

00:08:12.420 Do you know how much they pay for these?

00:08:14.480 $1.4 million I sold the last one for.

00:08:17.600 And this one I'm giving it to you.

00:08:19.040 You can sell it.

00:08:20.960 Now, here's the question.

00:08:22.680 What's the price of a Hunter Biden painting if you buy it from Hunter, and what's the price of it if you buy it from his baby mama?

00:08:33.780 Same?

00:08:35.160 Did she get the $1.4 million?

00:08:36.760 Because the art is so good?

00:08:39.940 It's so smart of him, because he can establish in the courts that the paintings have value, because he's selling them.

00:08:54.600 Right?

00:08:54.920 There's a market for it.

00:08:56.500 But the market is completely limited to it coming from him when he sells it, don't you think?

00:09:04.180 Do you think the baby mama's giving out political favors in return for selling paintings?

00:09:11.620 Probably not.

00:09:12.860 Probably not.

00:09:13.840 So I think it's just hilarious that he got away with that.

00:09:16.800 Although, I would like to add the following.

00:09:19.200 Have you seen any coverage of his paintings?

00:09:24.220 Have you seen the paintings themselves?

00:09:28.080 There's something really curious going on about the paintings themselves.

00:09:32.200 Now, I'm only looking at them on video, so I'm not in the room with them.

00:09:36.380 But aren't they suspiciously good?

00:09:40.460 Did anybody have that feeling?

00:09:43.520 That they're suspiciously too good?

00:09:47.100 And so I ask you this question.

00:09:49.160 Have any of you ever seen a video of him painting?

00:09:51.960 Making his own paintings?

00:09:55.860 No.

00:09:57.980 You know, and if you have, was he just like adding a little brush stroke to something that already existed?

00:10:04.400 Does he have a ghost painter?

00:10:07.220 Maybe he has a ghost painter.

00:10:08.520 All right, so here's, let's try to do some predictions.

00:10:12.960 Do you remember the prediction filter that said that reality, Elon Musk says this a lot, I say it too,

00:10:19.120 that reality will go in the direction of the most entertaining outcome,

00:10:24.300 as judged by somebody who's not personally involved.

00:10:27.820 So from an outsider's perspective, the most entertaining outcome.

00:10:31.780 But Hunter's paintings gives you two entertaining outcomes.

00:10:36.100 And I want you to tell me which is more entertaining.

00:10:38.520 Because I can't decide.

00:10:41.280 So you've got two possibilities.

00:10:43.660 One possibility is that Hunter Biden is a legit world-class artist.

00:10:50.320 Wouldn't that be fun?

00:10:52.240 To me that would be fun.

00:10:54.540 That you saw, nobody saw it coming.

00:10:57.840 You know, he was this drug-addicted guy with problems.

00:11:01.120 But he had some genuine talent.

00:11:04.260 And then suddenly it comes out.

00:11:06.540 And it's like the real deal.

00:11:08.400 Wouldn't that be entertaining?

00:11:10.080 I mean, you might want, you know, you still might want him to go to jail for whatever you think he did.

00:11:15.340 But that would be entertaining.

00:11:17.780 I would be very amused to find out he was, in fact, a world-class artist.

00:11:23.260 Now, let's compare that.

00:11:24.720 Let's compare it to finding out that somebody else painted all the paintings.

00:11:31.900 Like just some art school graduate or something.

00:11:35.560 How entertaining would it be to find out that the paintings were always fake compared to finding out he's actually a legit world-class artist?

00:11:43.540 Which would be more entertaining?

00:11:45.560 Because to me, they're both entertaining.

00:11:46.940 I would like both of those.

00:11:51.560 Yeah, that's a tough one, isn't it?

00:11:53.720 I feel like this is the Schrodinger's, you know, cat experiment.

00:11:58.740 Either one about equally entertaining.

00:12:01.680 So, I kind of, I don't know, I kind of hope that the reality is he's a great artist.

00:12:09.580 I hope that's the reality.

00:12:10.900 Because, you know, it would be a little more, I don't know, a little more fun.

00:12:16.660 You know, faking something is a little more ordinary.

00:12:20.940 All right, what else is going on?

00:12:25.440 So, Trump was in a Pennsylvania rally.

00:12:30.060 And have you noticed that Trump is hard to ignore?

00:12:35.720 So, he's at this rally, and he says, Biden is a dumb son of a bitch.

00:12:39.360 And the crowd goes wild.

00:12:42.220 And, you know, of course, that's the viral, you know, that's the one that everybody sees.

00:12:48.340 How can one person be so quotable all the time?

00:12:54.180 I mean, he doesn't go ten minutes without saying something that you want to roll around in your head.

00:13:00.140 You know, and repeat it in your head because of the way he said it.

00:13:02.600 But, if you listen to him call Biden a dumb son of a bitch, I would like to point out the artistry with which he presented that.

00:13:12.580 Because there are lots of ways to call somebody a dumb son of a bitch, and it doesn't come out right.

00:13:18.020 But, wow, did he deliver the line.

00:13:21.480 All right, he delivered the line.

00:13:23.320 The secret, I think, was that he delivered it as a matter-of-fact statement.

00:13:27.700 Here's what would have been wrong.

00:13:30.480 Biden, he's a dumb son of a bitch.

00:13:33.860 No, no.

00:13:35.020 That would look out of control, a little screechy, a little pleading.

00:13:39.820 Eh, weak, really.

00:13:41.180 Kind of weak.

00:13:42.140 But when Trump says it, he says it like he's whispering it in your ear.

00:13:48.520 Seriously, he's almost seducing you.

00:13:50.640 He says it so matter-of-factly, it takes you a moment to figure out what.

00:13:54.120 Did he just say that?

00:13:55.020 He just says, I can't do the impression of it, but it's more a matter-of-fact.

00:14:00.580 He just says, and Biden, he's a dumb son of a bitch.

00:14:04.360 And you just hear it, and you go, was that just in the middle of a sentence?

00:14:09.220 Did he just deliver the president of the United States as a dumb son of a bitch?

00:14:14.240 Did he say that with the same emphasis as the rest of the sentence in the paragraph?

00:14:18.680 And he did.

00:14:20.120 He was kind of perfect.

00:14:21.280 You know, he does not get credit for his delivery.

00:14:26.900 His delivery of his own lines, just amazing.

00:14:31.220 His timing, his wording.

00:14:34.060 He's really got that skill.

00:14:37.500 All right, so that's really basically the only thing I took away from the rally.

00:14:40.680 And it's the only thing I needed to.

00:14:44.540 Because the little bit of the larger context is that Biden's not quite all there.

00:14:49.120 And I think that's the best argument.

00:14:51.700 The best argument is that you can see it, I can see it, we can all see it.

00:14:56.840 He's sort of done.

00:14:57.740 I don't know how that loses, because the Democrats are not going to disagree with the argument that he's at a degraded mental state.

00:15:07.520 They can see it.

00:15:09.040 They'll argue it, but they can see it.

00:15:11.600 So at least he'd be leading with something that nobody would debate.

00:15:15.800 At least, seriously.

00:15:17.160 All right, so here's an opening that I think that Biden and his crew are leaving for Trump.

00:15:26.240 As you know, they've been trying to sell this extreme MAGA thing to make you think, oh, no, those extreme MAGAs.

00:15:33.940 Because what they don't want to say is white supremacist every day.

00:15:37.920 Because that's a little hard to explain when there are a lot of Republicans who are Hispanic and Asian American and everything else and black.

00:15:44.960 So it's hard to call, you know, people of color white supremacists.

00:15:50.960 So it looked like they were going for the extreme MAGA to try to, you know, weasel that.

00:15:55.300 But here's the problem.

00:15:57.280 Biden and his people have left undefined what extreme MAGA is.

00:16:03.960 Which means that somebody who's good at defining things, such as Trump,

00:16:10.040 could simply define extreme MAGA any way he wanted and make it work.

00:16:14.960 And just take it away.

00:16:16.320 Take it away as an attack.

00:16:19.360 So I've suggested that extreme MAGA would be a great Marvel character.

00:16:25.260 Who would have one superpower.

00:16:28.060 And this super character called extreme MAGA,

00:16:31.960 the only superpower he would have is not believing anything in the news or anything the government says is true.

00:16:39.240 Wouldn't it be funny to see a movie in which there was a character called extreme MAGA,

00:16:44.840 who only had one power, which is not believing bullshit.

00:16:49.440 And I think like he ended up being like an actual superhero.

00:16:53.500 It's all it took.

00:16:54.800 He just had to know how to not believe bullshit.

00:16:57.640 And he could like, you know, live like a god because everybody else did.

00:17:01.020 So he'd be sort of like the one-eyed, you know, person in the land of the blind.

00:17:06.080 Extreme MAGA refuses to believe what the fake news and the government tells him.

00:17:11.500 That's his only power.

00:17:13.080 But it's also the only power he needs to rule.

00:17:17.520 All right.

00:17:17.920 As you know, this is America.

00:17:22.260 So whenever there's a tragedy, we try to turn it into conspiracy theories and humor.

00:17:28.500 Conspiracy theories and humor.

00:17:30.380 Starts as a tragedy.

00:17:32.420 Turns into a conspiracy theory.

00:17:34.800 Morphs into humor.

00:17:36.520 So let's talk about the tragic death of Obama's chef on a paddleboard.

00:17:42.460 Oh, would you be surprised to learn that there are some conspiracy theories about that?

00:17:47.040 Well, let me tell you about them.

00:17:49.840 Now, first of all, I don't believe any of them.

00:17:52.980 So my starting point is no.

00:17:56.600 No on all of them.

00:17:58.960 However, while I don't believe any of the conspiracy theories, I would like to assert the following.

00:18:06.440 The story is not true.

00:18:09.980 That doesn't mean he was murdered.

00:18:12.280 I don't see evidence of murder.

00:18:14.700 So I'm not going to go there.

00:18:15.880 But you know this story isn't completely true, right?

00:18:21.780 Do you all know that?

00:18:23.080 Do you know why you know it's not true?

00:18:25.340 Can anybody tell me why you know it's not true?

00:18:28.160 Tell me why you know it's not true.

00:18:30.020 Go.

00:18:31.560 How do you know it's not true?

00:18:35.680 Exactly.

00:18:36.120 Because it's a story about a public figure.

00:18:40.140 It's a story about a public figure.

00:18:43.440 And it's in the summer.

00:18:45.560 The summer makes it extra, but it doesn't have to be in the summer.

00:18:49.340 All stories about public figures are false.

00:18:52.760 All of them.

00:18:54.100 How do I know that?

00:18:55.100 Well, I've been a public figure for over 30 years.

00:18:57.560 Sometimes I've seen all the stories about me.

00:19:00.480 At the very least, they leave out key information that would change how you think about the story.

00:19:06.080 Sometimes it's an intentional lie.

00:19:08.460 Sometimes it's bad reporting.

00:19:10.580 Sometimes it's out of context.

00:19:12.880 Or any combination of those things.

00:19:14.900 But never will you see a story that has any details or complexity to it that's also true.

00:19:23.360 In the sense that you've got the real picture.

00:19:26.100 Now, what is true would be, let's say if somebody died in a horrible accident, they are dead.

00:19:31.720 I think that they're probably almost 100% right when they say somebody died.

00:19:36.640 But once you get past just the most basic fact of a story, almost everything around it is some kind of narrative or bullshit or just wrong.

00:19:47.160 So here are the things just for fun.

00:19:51.300 Again, I don't believe any of this is indicative of anything real.

00:19:55.140 It's just what's happening.

00:19:57.000 There's a photograph that emerged of Obama with a black eye and bandages on one hand.

00:20:03.480 So people are saying, my goodness.

00:20:05.380 Now, what is the most likely explanation for the photograph of Obama with a black eye and cuts on his hand?

00:20:12.740 What's the most likely explanation for that?

00:20:15.800 Not that he had a fight with a paddleboarder.

00:20:19.200 No, the most likely explanation is it's an old photo.

00:20:23.860 It's an old photo.

00:20:25.900 Right.

00:20:26.660 Isn't that the most likely explanation?

00:20:30.380 Yeah.

00:20:31.160 So, you know, there could be 100 reasons that you would have a black eye.

00:20:35.380 But remember, the picture or a fake picture, yeah, could be a fake picture or a black eye or something like that.

00:20:42.200 So the first thing I would say is that if you believe the picture is real, I think that's kind of you're being a little bit gullible if you automatically assume it's real.

00:20:55.320 It might be.

00:20:56.060 It could be a real picture.

00:20:57.740 I'm just saying that I assume it's not.

00:21:00.380 Starting assumption, not real.

00:21:02.360 Then there's also the story, again, that has no backing as far as I know, that maybe one of Obama's daughters was maybe hanging out with a married guy on a paddleboard.

00:21:14.180 There's no evidence of that.

00:21:16.860 There's none.

00:21:18.300 Somebody said the paddleboard looked like Obama's, and that was the evidence that his daughter might have been there.

00:21:24.060 That's not good enough.

00:21:24.980 I don't know that there are that many paddleboard types.

00:21:28.520 I don't think you can tell whose paddleboard it is by looking at it.

00:21:32.100 All right.

00:21:33.000 And what if he did have his paddleboard?

00:21:35.100 I mean, that wouldn't mean anything either.

00:21:38.840 All right.

00:21:39.420 So don't believe anything about that or anything else about public figures.

00:21:44.320 Oh, my God.

00:21:51.780 I've seen some bad memes go by.

00:21:54.800 How many of you think the paddleboard story has something, like, illegal that Obama did?

00:22:01.700 Like, in reality?

00:22:03.160 How many of you really think there was something illegal going on?

00:22:08.800 I got some yeses.

00:22:10.340 Mostly no.

00:22:10.860 Now, I wouldn't rule out that there's something illegal that went on, but I don't think it was murder.

00:22:19.280 If, for example, somebody was drinking and they didn't want that news to come out, you can imagine that.

00:22:26.480 All right.

00:22:26.700 So here's, and then here's my favorite part about how fake news gets started.

00:22:32.700 How long did it take somebody to suggest that he was a young, healthy man who died of maybe a sudden cardiac arrest, that maybe he had been vaccinated lately?

00:22:45.520 How long did it take for that rumor to start?

00:22:48.920 Are you disappointed you didn't think of it yourself?

00:22:51.520 Because it happens in the context of LeBron, you know, LeBron's son having some cardiac problems and Jamie Foxx having some cardiac problems.

00:23:03.220 And so now it's the third youngish black guy who had an unexplained death sort of suddenly.

00:23:10.400 So brains just automatically go there.

00:23:15.700 But I want to say there's no evidence for that whatsoever.

00:23:19.060 No evidence for any vaccination thing.

00:23:21.160 It's just a natural thing.

00:23:22.400 You expect all the stories start conflating.

00:23:24.860 And so we're about a day away from it being caused by an alien.

00:23:29.800 The aliens are really from under the pond.

00:23:31.780 They dragged them down.

00:23:33.000 Something like that.

00:23:33.600 Well, here's the weirdest thing that happened to me today.

00:23:42.640 So you know how sometimes if you use Twitter, sometimes you'll tweet something and you'll think, oh, this is a throwaway tweet.

00:23:50.880 And other times you'll tweet things that you think are kind of genius.

00:23:54.600 You're like, ah, I think I nailed it this time.

00:23:56.740 And then the thing you thought was a genius tweet gets no retweets because everybody just looks at it and goes, yeah, we thought that too.

00:24:04.080 So it's not new.

00:24:05.480 But then you'll do the one that's just a throwaway.

00:24:08.280 And I guess 1.2 million views.

00:24:10.820 That happened to me yesterday.

00:24:14.800 I tweeted this.

00:24:16.160 There's an enormous correcting force forming.

00:24:18.940 The most ambiguous tweet you could ever do.

00:24:22.800 There's an enormous correcting force forming.

00:24:26.020 And the reason I tweeted it was because I felt it.

00:24:30.180 Like I felt just the feeling.

00:24:33.480 I could just feel it forming.

00:24:35.120 And I didn't know what it was.

00:24:36.980 I didn't know exactly what it was.

00:24:38.500 But it feels a little like dads coming home.

00:24:41.400 Like things went too far and now the correcting force is coming in.

00:24:44.960 And the correcting force is primarily male.

00:24:47.860 Right?

00:24:47.980 It doesn't mean women are not involved, of course.

00:24:51.000 But there's definitely a thing that we would all describe as a male force and a female force.

00:24:57.780 Right?

00:24:57.940 We know what it is when we see it.

00:25:00.080 And when times are good, female forces rise because that's sort of a luxury feeling.

00:25:08.860 You know, let's all be nice to each other and I'll share my stuff and you share your stuff.

00:25:13.340 You know, that's good stuff.

00:25:14.240 But when things go wrong and there's danger, the women typically take a different role and the men come out of hibernation.

00:25:25.460 They do whatever dangerous and mostly dangerous things have to be done.

00:25:30.900 And then if they succeed, they go back dormant again because you don't need that male force so much.

00:25:38.160 So what I feel is a rising male energy.

00:25:41.260 It feels palpable.

00:25:43.260 Some of it I think I'm influenced by the fact that the major candidates are all male and the Republican candidates who are very specifically bringing a male perspective in a good way, not a bad way, back into the mix to maybe get us a better balance.

00:26:01.340 Because I think we're just off balance.

00:26:03.300 Nothing wrong with female energy.

00:26:05.800 Nothing wrong with male energy.

00:26:07.800 There's everything wrong with either one of them being out of balance.

00:26:11.720 You don't want too much male energy.

00:26:14.320 Can we agree?

00:26:15.580 Too much male energy is a problem, but too much female energy is a problem too.

00:26:19.920 And that's our current problem.

00:26:21.700 Not a permanent problem.

00:26:23.480 I think this is all cyclical and pendulum stuff.

00:26:27.000 And it had to happen, but it's happening.

00:26:29.240 Yeah, there's definitely an energy entering the field that you just feel.

00:26:35.580 You just feel it in a hundred ways.

00:26:39.820 Interestingly, after I got one point, I think it's up to 1.2 million views, just saying there's enormous correcting force forming.

00:26:48.320 Then later I tweeted that male energy is rising.

00:26:51.920 And that had, I think that's pushing half a million views, which are very big numbers for my account.

00:27:01.480 And then something else happened.

00:27:04.300 The same day, Elon Musk tweeted, equally cryptically and without detail, quote, something special coming soon.

00:27:13.440 Now, I think he was talking about maybe a Twitter feature.

00:27:19.280 I don't know what he's talking about.

00:27:21.300 But I feel like there's just this feeling that something good is happening.

00:27:27.260 Some kind of general feeling that there's some kind of positive thing happening.

00:27:32.580 And maybe we'll see it in Twitter, etc.

00:27:35.120 I saw somebody say that, you know, Musk was ruining Twitter and blah, blah, blah.

00:27:42.580 And I always think, how does Musk ruining Twitter square with the fact that it's at an all-time high in traffic and we can't stop talking about it?

00:27:54.100 That's like opposite of what you see, right?

00:27:58.480 Because Musk just tweeted their numbers.

00:28:00.400 It's at an all-time high.

00:28:03.760 It's doing nothing but going up.

00:28:06.620 So remind me if I talked about this before.

00:28:09.580 I think I talked about it in the man cave, but not here.

00:28:12.640 So Musk puts this giant X logo thing on top of the Twitter building in San Francisco,

00:28:18.940 which San Francisco is not happy about because it seems to be some kind of zoning building violation.

00:28:27.460 But they're having trouble getting up there to inspect it.

00:28:30.440 Somehow the inspectors can't get on the roof for whatever reason.

00:28:33.540 I don't know.

00:28:35.700 And so it stays.

00:28:37.180 The entire country is talking about it, if I don't know about internationally.

00:28:41.240 But nationally, we're all talking about his big offensive X on top of the building.

00:28:45.960 And we're all arguing whether we like X or hate X or does some other company have the trademark

00:28:52.180 and what's he going to do when everybody sues him because they have X's in their names too and all this.

00:28:58.440 This is the most successful rebranding I've ever seen.

00:29:06.360 Number one, there's nobody who doesn't know that Twitter just became X.

00:29:10.720 Am I right?

00:29:11.260 Name another company that's ever done this well in making the entire country, at least.

00:29:18.060 I don't know about internationally.

00:29:19.640 But making the entire country completely understand that Twitter became X.

00:29:24.640 We all know it now.

00:29:27.100 Now, it reminded me of there's a restaurant entrepreneur in my town who started a new restaurant.

00:29:34.900 So he opened them and built them up and sold them in many cases.

00:29:38.740 So he opens a new restaurant.

00:29:41.480 He paints it the most offensive purple color you've ever seen.

00:29:45.100 It's right in the middle of the main street with the other restaurants.

00:29:48.460 And it's just an eyesore.

00:29:50.220 You drive past that thing and you're like, oh, God, who did that?

00:29:54.080 And immediately you think, is this OK?

00:29:57.240 You know, did the zoning regulations allow this horrible thing?

00:30:02.660 And of course, they did not.

00:30:03.820 So pretty soon it's in the local publications and everybody's gossiping about it.

00:30:08.520 And people are saying, did you see that horrible purple building?

00:30:12.280 And when everybody had complained about the purple building, it lasted, I don't know, six months or whatever it was.

00:30:18.560 I can't remember.

00:30:19.580 So after about six months of everybody complaining and the city being, you know, on their backs and everything,

00:30:25.380 do you know what the owner of the restaurant did?

00:30:29.080 Guess.

00:30:29.560 Guess.

00:30:30.120 What do you do when everybody complained?

00:30:33.800 Just guess.

00:30:36.580 You repainted it in normal color.

00:30:41.380 It's the funniest thing I've ever seen a business person do.

00:30:46.540 It was always a, it was an op.

00:30:49.400 He wanted everybody to talk about it because it was a new restaurant.

00:30:52.480 He spent zero on advertising.

00:30:54.920 Every person in my town was talking about that restaurant.

00:30:57.820 And we all had to go because everybody was talking about it.

00:31:01.680 So then when you said, hey, where do you want to go?

00:31:03.980 You want to go out to eat?

00:31:05.740 And somebody would say, yeah, I hear there's this new purple restaurant.

00:31:08.760 Let's go to the purple place.

00:31:11.160 So he paints it back to a regular color, sells it for an enormous profit because the business is going crazy.

00:31:18.700 And then as soon as people were done talking about the color of the restaurant, you know, the business collapsed back to a normal level.

00:31:26.280 And I think the guy who bought it didn't even survive.

00:31:30.360 It was like the smartest, like, entrepreneurial thing.

00:31:33.760 So I remember that when I was seeing Musk could do this.

00:31:38.180 Do you think that Musk believes the X will stay there?

00:31:43.640 Or do you think he knows there's a pretty good chance that San Francisco is going to make him take it down and he'll end up taking it down?

00:31:52.620 Now, he might fight it some more because that's just more of the fun, right?

00:31:56.400 Remember, he has a big budget.

00:31:57.560 So maybe San Francisco fines him $20,000 a month.

00:32:04.360 What if he pays it?

00:32:06.200 What if he just pays the fine every month?

00:32:08.580 $20,000 a month is cheaper than advertising.

00:32:12.240 So watching this little dance is hilarious.

00:32:15.780 But remember, the dance is not about the logo.

00:32:19.400 It's not about the logo.

00:32:20.840 This is Elon Musk being the entire marketing and rebranding department for all of his businesses.

00:32:27.560 And doing it laughing at the same time.

00:32:30.780 I mean, he's basically, he's doing his rebranding and probably just thinks it's hilarious and is working perfectly.

00:32:37.740 And, you know, what will the people who don't understand anything about business or psychology say?

00:32:43.320 Well, there he goes again with these bad decisions, they'll say.

00:32:47.000 All right.

00:32:50.920 This was a funny report from NBC News.

00:32:53.740 Now, remember, NBC News, at least according to the people who are smarter than me, that's a lot of people,

00:33:01.840 say that NBC News is sort of in the pocket of the CIA.

00:33:07.440 All right.

00:33:07.620 So it's important to know that when NBC News is saying something,

00:33:12.040 you might be hearing some influence from the intelligence community.

00:33:16.060 That's what people say.

00:33:17.320 I can't prove it.

00:33:19.600 But NBC News said that the government,

00:33:23.420 the news that came out that the government might be in possession of non-human biological UFOs

00:33:28.620 was met with surprising apathy online.

00:33:35.340 That's right.

00:33:36.920 There was a credible, I guess, looking whistleblower.

00:33:41.340 Major news that Congress was taking seriously.

00:33:45.240 The fact we might have downed UFOs and captured aliens.

00:33:50.940 And NBC News is sort of, I don't know, I wouldn't describe an attitude to it,

00:33:56.300 but they're reporting that the public wasn't buying it.

00:34:00.780 Now, I realize that I have not met one person in my real life who believed the UFO story.

00:34:08.000 Not one.

00:34:09.520 Now, there might be people who do believe,

00:34:12.380 but I've not spoken, not spoken to one person who thinks this is true.

00:34:18.260 Have you?

00:34:18.660 Have you spoken to even one person who thinks it's true?

00:34:22.620 Even one.

00:34:24.040 Like in person.

00:34:25.020 You know, not online, but in person.

00:34:27.640 Even one person.

00:34:30.320 Somebody said yes.

00:34:31.940 But most of you are saying no.

00:34:34.960 Do you remember when I told you there's, just a moment ago,

00:34:38.900 there's a huge correcting force that's forming?

00:34:43.900 Do you see it yet?

00:34:47.380 The fake news,

00:34:49.620 and maybe the fake government, I'm not sure,

00:34:52.140 could be, it looks like,

00:34:54.720 to me it looks like an intelligence op of some kind.

00:34:58.040 To me.

00:34:58.940 There's no way to know, but that's what it looks like.

00:35:01.380 It looks like there was an op to change the opinion,

00:35:04.300 or what we're thinking about,

00:35:06.120 and that America didn't buy it.

00:35:08.780 They actually saw it for exactly what it was from the first minute.

00:35:14.240 What's that tell you?

00:35:15.240 Tells you they went too far.

00:35:20.420 Too far.

00:35:22.720 The entire public realizes that that's too far.

00:35:26.160 That the UFO thing is telling us clearly and for forever

00:35:33.060 that the news is fake,

00:35:34.760 and the government can't be trusted about anything.

00:35:38.980 That everything we've been told about everything from the government

00:35:41.960 has been either lies or self-serving.

00:35:46.600 Everything.

00:35:48.300 What happens if the public just woke up?

00:35:51.000 Because that's what it feels like.

00:35:58.240 The enormous correcting force

00:36:00.660 feels like the entire public waking up and saying,

00:36:05.020 wait a minute.

00:36:06.360 It's almost as if the news has never been real.

00:36:11.500 That's because the news has never been real.

00:36:14.640 The news has never been real.

00:36:17.900 Not in the past.

00:36:19.100 Not in the present.

00:36:22.120 And certainly not in the future.

00:36:25.020 There's nothing that's going to make it real.

00:36:27.640 So if you are building your worldview

00:36:29.880 around what you saw in the news,

00:36:32.240 you are brainwashed.

00:36:34.540 And we all are to some extent.

00:36:36.940 The best we can do is,

00:36:38.660 we're trying to tread water as fast as we can

00:36:41.440 to keep our heads above it.

00:36:42.920 But the brainwashing is massive.

00:36:45.220 It's pervasive.

00:36:46.000 It's all the time.

00:36:46.920 It's unending, unstopping,

00:36:49.180 and it's the major force in civilization.

00:36:52.320 But I feel like people can see it now.

00:36:55.760 I feel as though the machinery is becoming obvious.

00:37:01.460 And to that point,

00:37:05.740 watching the video I mentioned before

00:37:07.540 of Joe Rogan talking to Jim Gaffigan

00:37:10.100 about January 6th,

00:37:12.800 when you see Rogan lay it out,

00:37:15.600 and Rogan is not,

00:37:16.760 he's not talking as a conspiracy theory.

00:37:19.060 He's talking only the things we know to be true.

00:37:22.060 So he says,

00:37:23.060 we don't know that Ray Epps was anything.

00:37:25.420 We don't know that.

00:37:27.020 So Rogan says that directly.

00:37:28.440 There's no,

00:37:28.780 it's not proven here.

00:37:30.580 What we do know is that he was clearly instigating

00:37:33.020 and was not treated like the rest of the people.

00:37:36.280 That part we know.

00:37:37.680 The other part we know is that

00:37:39.120 our intel people routinely

00:37:40.760 insert agents to sometimes escalate problems.

00:37:45.500 And that that's an understood,

00:37:47.420 long-running process.

00:37:49.780 And that January 6th was exactly the sort of thing

00:37:52.920 that an enemy of,

00:37:55.780 if somebody was an enemy of the intelligence agencies,

00:37:58.240 as Trump was,

00:37:59.440 everybody understood that,

00:38:01.240 that if they use the normal techniques

00:38:04.300 they normally use,

00:38:05.820 then January 6th was exactly the opposite

00:38:08.200 of what Jim Gaffigan had been told it was,

00:38:10.580 which was an insurrection.

00:38:12.740 It was actually an op.

00:38:15.300 If the evidence suggests that,

00:38:17.680 we don't know it,

00:38:18.380 but the evidence suggests

00:38:19.880 it was some kind of an op

00:38:21.080 on some level.

00:38:23.580 You know,

00:38:23.720 whether the op part

00:38:25.040 became the important part

00:38:26.280 or it was a trivial add-on,

00:38:29.360 don't know.

00:38:30.300 Don't know.

00:38:31.080 But what we do know

00:38:32.020 is that the news is bullshit

00:38:33.240 and we know that our government is lying.

00:38:36.180 And we know that when Congress asked

00:38:38.080 the head of the FBI

00:38:39.120 or one of the FBI people

00:38:40.280 if Ray Epps was working for them,

00:38:44.860 they wouldn't say.

00:38:46.180 They wouldn't say no.

00:38:47.360 Under oath,

00:38:49.700 they wouldn't say no.

00:38:51.660 So that's what we know.

00:38:53.560 So the one thing

00:38:54.120 you can conclude from that

00:38:55.400 is not,

00:38:56.040 you cannot conclude from that

00:38:57.500 what Ray Epps is.

00:38:59.840 That does not tell you

00:39:00.960 who Ray Epps is.

00:39:02.420 Period.

00:39:03.340 Right?

00:39:03.840 Oh, he's saying period.

00:39:05.900 I apologize for saying period.

00:39:08.300 I mock people who say that,

00:39:09.840 but it was just sort of

00:39:11.140 at the front of my head.

00:39:12.680 It came out.

00:39:13.460 Sorry.

00:39:13.720 Sorry.

00:39:13.800 But it feels like

00:39:16.760 the whole country

00:39:18.140 is getting

00:39:18.840 roganized

00:39:20.740 you know,

00:39:22.360 the way Jim Gaffigan was.

00:39:24.860 Because Jim,

00:39:25.520 you know,

00:39:25.760 again,

00:39:26.040 Jim Gaffigan's an open-minded guy.

00:39:27.720 He can see the whole field.

00:39:29.180 He's listening to everything.

00:39:30.740 And he's open-minded.

00:39:32.520 He's actually

00:39:33.440 one of the ones

00:39:34.220 you want to support.

00:39:34.960 Mind your disfluencies.

00:39:41.200 I'll mind my disfluencies

00:39:43.020 if you mind yours.

00:39:44.780 You mind your own disfluencies.

00:39:47.080 Well said, though.

00:39:49.920 All right.

00:39:50.560 So we don't believe

00:39:51.340 the UFOs,

00:39:52.740 and maybe that will be

00:39:53.740 the thing that takes

00:39:54.460 the lid off of everything.

00:39:57.000 Small news here.

00:39:58.200 Yay has been reinstated

00:40:00.640 on X,

00:40:03.240 formerly known as Twitter.

00:40:04.960 Is that true?

00:40:06.480 I don't believe

00:40:07.540 he's tweeted,

00:40:08.940 or as we say now,

00:40:10.240 posted.

00:40:11.300 By the way,

00:40:11.840 I hate that.

00:40:12.640 Posted.

00:40:15.480 Does everybody agree?

00:40:18.460 So I get why

00:40:20.020 you wouldn't want

00:40:20.620 to call it tweeting

00:40:21.460 anymore.

00:40:23.900 But posting,

00:40:26.080 now that's too generic.

00:40:28.600 That doesn't,

00:40:29.860 it doesn't feel right

00:40:30.920 in my mouth.

00:40:31.700 I don't think

00:40:32.300 that's going to last.

00:40:33.660 Maybe.

00:40:34.140 We'll see.

00:40:35.500 Moscow had some more

00:40:36.560 drone attacks,

00:40:37.380 and some of them

00:40:38.040 hit.

00:40:39.300 I guess they

00:40:39.840 jammed one

00:40:41.220 that may have fallen

00:40:42.260 and still done

00:40:43.220 some damage.

00:40:44.260 I didn't see

00:40:44.840 any news of

00:40:45.720 deaths,

00:40:47.100 but there was

00:40:47.700 a pretty big explosion

00:40:48.720 caught on cams.

00:40:50.700 And I think

00:40:51.180 this is

00:40:52.400 probably how

00:40:54.520 Ukraine

00:40:55.080 gets negotiations

00:40:56.760 going.

00:40:57.240 I think Ukraine

00:40:59.720 is probably

00:41:00.660 wisely

00:41:01.400 making sure

00:41:02.880 that the public

00:41:03.600 in Moscow

00:41:04.180 doesn't feel safe.

00:41:06.560 And I don't see

00:41:07.620 any reason

00:41:08.080 that they can't

00:41:08.740 do that.

00:41:09.920 Because as long

00:41:10.760 as Kiev

00:41:11.320 has been under

00:41:12.100 regular attack

00:41:12.860 since the beginning

00:41:13.500 of the war,

00:41:14.660 to me,

00:41:15.180 it's completely,

00:41:16.520 in terms of war,

00:41:18.080 you know,

00:41:18.300 all war is immoral.

00:41:19.900 But within the

00:41:20.700 context of war

00:41:21.660 that is completely

00:41:22.540 immoral,

00:41:23.020 you can attack

00:41:25.840 their population

00:41:26.540 center

00:41:26.940 if they attack

00:41:28.180 yours.

00:41:29.500 If you think

00:41:30.380 it'll work.

00:41:32.080 Right?

00:41:32.600 Because once

00:41:33.140 the other side

00:41:33.700 says we're going

00:41:34.440 to kill you

00:41:34.900 all if we can,

00:41:36.320 then you can

00:41:36.820 do anything

00:41:37.240 you want.

00:41:39.160 Morality

00:41:39.640 doesn't exist

00:41:40.640 when the other

00:41:41.300 side says we're

00:41:42.020 going to do

00:41:42.240 anything we can

00:41:42.840 to kill you.

00:41:43.780 All morality

00:41:44.560 goes away.

00:41:45.420 That's just

00:41:45.920 survival.

00:41:47.200 And if they

00:41:48.600 think their

00:41:49.040 survival helps

00:41:49.760 by terrorizing

00:41:51.360 civilians in

00:41:52.280 Moscow,

00:41:53.020 they have

00:41:53.720 every moral

00:41:54.840 and ethical

00:41:55.380 opening to do

00:41:57.280 that.

00:41:58.640 In the context

00:41:59.680 that all war

00:42:00.360 is immoral.

00:42:01.340 It's just not

00:42:02.080 more immoral

00:42:02.880 than anything

00:42:03.460 else is going

00:42:04.160 on at the

00:42:04.620 moment.

00:42:05.000 I guess that's

00:42:06.060 the better way

00:42:06.420 to say it.

00:42:07.020 It's all

00:42:07.520 immoral,

00:42:08.860 but it's not

00:42:09.340 any worse

00:42:09.800 than the

00:42:10.660 baseline at

00:42:11.240 the moment.

00:42:12.920 So that might

00:42:13.820 actually make

00:42:14.380 a difference.

00:42:14.940 I do think

00:42:15.680 that if the

00:42:16.680 residents of

00:42:18.140 Moscow feel

00:42:19.680 genuinely unsafe,

00:42:21.220 that that

00:42:22.920 might have

00:42:23.280 some influence

00:42:23.860 on Putin.

00:42:24.660 Because a lot

00:42:25.080 of the rich

00:42:26.200 people live

00:42:26.800 in Moscow,

00:42:28.200 and presumably

00:42:29.300 they have more

00:42:29.960 influence on

00:42:30.620 Putin than

00:42:31.500 other people

00:42:32.440 would.

00:42:34.200 Elon Musk

00:42:35.240 again making

00:42:35.880 news about

00:42:36.940 the headquarters,

00:42:38.780 the ex-Twitter,

00:42:39.940 now ex-headquarters.

00:42:42.060 Well, that's

00:42:42.940 weird.

00:42:43.180 I just

00:42:44.460 called the

00:42:45.960 company that

00:42:46.860 was once

00:42:47.420 known Twitter

00:42:48.240 as ex-Twitter.

00:42:51.020 And the new

00:42:51.860 company is

00:42:52.280 called ex.

00:42:54.340 So it's

00:42:55.100 the ex-Twitter

00:42:56.740 company.

00:42:57.960 I feel like

00:42:58.840 that covers

00:42:59.340 everything.

00:43:00.700 I think I'm

00:43:01.140 just going to

00:43:01.520 call it,

00:43:01.920 you know,

00:43:02.420 the ex-Twitter

00:43:04.200 company?

00:43:06.320 Yeah.

00:43:07.160 Yeah, that

00:43:07.480 might work.

00:43:08.300 Anyway, Elon

00:43:08.940 says that he

00:43:11.140 is not moving

00:43:11.800 out of San

00:43:12.280 Francisco, even

00:43:13.380 when others

00:43:13.860 are.

00:43:14.560 You only know

00:43:15.120 who your real

00:43:15.600 friends are

00:43:16.060 when the chips

00:43:16.640 are down.

00:43:18.100 And San

00:43:18.640 Francisco,

00:43:19.320 beautiful San

00:43:19.980 Francisco,

00:43:20.960 though others

00:43:21.580 forsake you,

00:43:22.580 we will always

00:43:23.200 be your friend.

00:43:24.460 Elon tweets.

00:43:27.500 They may,

00:43:29.900 something tells

00:43:31.180 me that that

00:43:31.700 tweet is going

00:43:32.340 to cause SpaceX

00:43:33.300 to get drug

00:43:34.400 tested again,

00:43:35.280 but it's just

00:43:38.240 a feeling.

00:43:39.380 It just feels

00:43:40.180 a little bit

00:43:40.860 like,

00:43:41.260 you know,

00:43:43.140 you know.

00:43:46.200 He might have

00:43:46.900 been having

00:43:47.180 some fun

00:43:47.620 that night.

00:43:48.940 All right.

00:43:51.120 You know

00:43:51.740 the story

00:43:52.260 about the

00:43:52.960 Korean company,

00:43:54.120 the South

00:43:54.820 Korean company

00:43:55.360 said they

00:43:55.800 solved for

00:43:57.220 room temperature

00:43:58.100 superconductivity.

00:44:00.100 And if that

00:44:00.560 were true,

00:44:01.460 it would have

00:44:01.900 changed all

00:44:02.460 of civilization

00:44:03.180 and our

00:44:03.620 technology,

00:44:04.400 because

00:44:04.620 superconductivity

00:44:05.600 at room

00:44:06.080 temperature

00:44:06.520 could make

00:44:08.160 electrical

00:44:09.660 transmission

00:44:10.620 loss-free

00:44:11.880 and quantum

00:44:13.760 computers work

00:44:15.160 better and

00:44:16.220 all kinds of

00:44:17.200 things that are

00:44:17.640 just gigantic.

00:44:18.700 But the

00:44:19.560 critics waited

00:44:20.560 in and said,

00:44:21.180 that's not true.

00:44:22.540 You really can't

00:44:23.360 do those things.

00:44:24.100 And then they

00:44:24.680 said, you try

00:44:25.960 it yourself at

00:44:26.580 home and you'll

00:44:27.240 see.

00:44:27.840 And then some

00:44:28.260 people did.

00:44:29.180 So the

00:44:30.960 original claim

00:44:31.940 seems highly,

00:44:34.120 let's say,

00:44:35.860 highly criticized.

00:44:37.560 And I would

00:44:38.420 not say that

00:44:39.100 you should

00:44:39.400 assume it's

00:44:39.980 true.

00:44:41.400 And then the

00:44:42.900 most amusing

00:44:43.580 thing happened.

00:44:45.200 What would

00:44:45.640 be the most

00:44:46.140 amusing outcome

00:44:47.320 of that?

00:44:48.120 Well, you

00:44:48.600 didn't see it

00:44:49.040 coming.

00:44:50.040 But there's

00:44:50.900 a company

00:44:51.380 called Taj

00:44:52.140 Quantum that

00:44:53.440 announced they

00:44:53.980 just got a

00:44:54.480 patent for

00:44:56.360 higher than

00:44:57.380 room temperature

00:44:58.200 superconductivity.

00:45:02.400 And they're

00:45:03.660 saying, no,

00:45:04.500 this is the

00:45:04.960 real thing.

00:45:06.020 We have the

00:45:06.780 real one.

00:45:07.460 We haven't

00:45:07.920 been bragging

00:45:08.460 about it, but

00:45:09.060 we did just

00:45:09.560 get a patent

00:45:10.080 for it.

00:45:11.120 Now, the

00:45:11.540 fact that

00:45:11.940 they patented

00:45:12.720 their, I

00:45:16.020 guess, above

00:45:16.960 room temperature

00:45:17.940 type 2

00:45:19.240 superconductor,

00:45:21.160 do you think

00:45:21.640 the fact that

00:45:22.220 they achieved

00:45:22.840 a patent

00:45:23.320 means that

00:45:24.760 it's real?

00:45:25.200 What do

00:45:28.180 you say?

00:45:29.280 They got a

00:45:30.240 patent.

00:45:31.420 Now, the

00:45:31.800 patent is a

00:45:32.640 check to see

00:45:33.240 if the

00:45:33.540 technology is

00:45:34.380 legitimate.

00:45:35.300 I guess that's

00:45:35.860 the best way

00:45:36.260 to say it.

00:45:36.940 Is it

00:45:37.320 legitimate and

00:45:38.560 innovative and

00:45:39.720 unique?

00:45:42.340 Here's what

00:45:42.960 they don't do

00:45:43.600 in the patent

00:45:44.100 office.

00:45:45.400 They don't

00:45:46.120 reproduce the

00:45:46.780 experiment.

00:45:48.660 They don't.

00:45:49.980 They can't

00:45:50.760 tell if your

00:45:51.200 data is made

00:45:51.920 up unless,

00:45:53.660 you know,

00:45:53.820 you do

00:45:54.100 something really

00:45:54.600 stupid.

00:45:55.280 They don't

00:45:55.640 know if you

00:45:55.960 made up the

00:45:56.400 data.

00:45:57.720 They just

00:45:58.380 know that

00:45:59.000 you satisfied

00:46:00.380 the requirements

00:46:01.480 of the patent.

00:46:04.000 That's it.

00:46:05.440 So, having a

00:46:06.780 patent does not

00:46:07.460 tell you that

00:46:07.940 you have

00:46:08.200 superconductive

00:46:09.180 materials.

00:46:10.020 It does tell

00:46:10.560 you that you

00:46:11.060 satisfied the

00:46:11.840 patent requirements.

00:46:13.640 So, now we

00:46:14.420 have two claims

00:46:15.220 of superconductivity.

00:46:17.840 What would

00:46:18.240 you, how much

00:46:19.160 money would you

00:46:19.880 place to bet

00:46:21.920 that either

00:46:22.540 company, or

00:46:24.020 both, has

00:46:25.300 actually achieved

00:46:26.160 this breakthrough

00:46:26.800 in a way that

00:46:27.560 really does

00:46:28.020 change civilization?

00:46:29.980 What do you

00:46:30.540 think of the

00:46:30.840 odds?

00:46:31.900 I think close

00:46:32.540 to zero.

00:46:33.620 Yeah, I hate

00:46:34.480 to say it.

00:46:35.460 Close to zero.

00:46:37.200 But I like to

00:46:38.120 think it's true.

00:46:38.800 I like to think

00:46:39.600 maybe.

00:46:40.760 But, unfortunately,

00:46:41.840 this feels like

00:46:42.540 zero.

00:46:43.520 I hate to say

00:46:44.100 it.

00:46:45.060 Well, there's

00:46:45.700 some news that

00:46:46.300 Chinese hackers,

00:46:47.400 New York Times

00:46:47.980 reporting, may

00:46:50.000 have inserted

00:46:50.540 malicious computer

00:46:51.600 code into

00:46:52.240 our networks

00:46:53.740 so they

00:46:54.180 could turn

00:46:54.540 off our

00:46:54.900 power grids

00:46:55.500 and communication

00:46:56.060 systems and

00:46:56.900 water supplies,

00:46:58.600 according to

00:47:00.440 U.S.

00:47:00.740 officials, or

00:47:01.860 at least the

00:47:02.220 water supplies

00:47:02.700 that feed

00:47:03.080 American military

00:47:03.880 bases.

00:47:05.240 And what do

00:47:05.860 you think?

00:47:06.700 Do you think

00:47:07.060 that's true?

00:47:08.740 Do you think

00:47:09.160 it's true that

00:47:09.940 China has

00:47:10.560 inserted lines

00:47:11.600 of hacker

00:47:12.120 code?

00:47:15.380 I'm going

00:47:16.020 to say no.

00:47:18.200 I'm going to

00:47:18.860 say no.

00:47:19.340 it's possible.

00:47:22.740 It's possible.

00:47:24.140 But you

00:47:25.280 really don't

00:47:25.780 think we can

00:47:26.380 find code that

00:47:27.520 doesn't belong

00:47:28.140 there?

00:47:30.520 Wouldn't we

00:47:31.000 know the

00:47:31.580 size of a

00:47:33.640 program before

00:47:34.440 it was loaded

00:47:35.000 and what was

00:47:35.680 in it?

00:47:36.560 Can't we

00:47:36.900 just, are

00:47:37.820 you telling

00:47:38.100 me that we

00:47:38.540 can't say,

00:47:39.140 all right,

00:47:39.540 these are the

00:47:40.160 applications running

00:47:42.000 on this

00:47:42.360 server.

00:47:43.740 Let us

00:47:44.160 compare the

00:47:44.780 exact code in

00:47:45.720 all of these

00:47:46.220 programs to

00:47:47.680 the exact code

00:47:48.560 that we

00:47:48.860 loaded and

00:47:49.880 see if

00:47:50.180 anything

00:47:50.400 changed after

00:47:52.120 it got

00:47:52.440 loaded.

00:47:53.560 Or maybe

00:47:54.320 it got

00:47:54.880 changed in

00:47:55.420 production so

00:47:56.180 after loading

00:47:56.980 it doesn't

00:47:57.300 tell you

00:47:57.560 anything.

00:47:58.300 But possible.

00:48:00.640 Possible.

00:48:03.140 Now, there's

00:48:03.940 two ways to

00:48:04.440 look at that.

00:48:04.960 One is that

00:48:05.700 of course it's

00:48:07.000 true and we

00:48:07.660 did the same

00:48:08.200 thing to them

00:48:08.740 already.

00:48:10.240 What do you

00:48:10.640 think of that?

00:48:11.620 How about

00:48:12.000 of course it's

00:48:12.840 true because

00:48:13.960 it's just

00:48:14.480 routine?

00:48:15.740 Not only is it

00:48:16.460 routine, but

00:48:17.100 we're doing

00:48:17.460 exactly the same

00:48:18.340 thing to

00:48:18.740 them and

00:48:19.120 Russia and

00:48:19.580 maybe our

00:48:20.000 allies too.

00:48:20.600 Who knows?

00:48:22.060 Yeah, that's

00:48:22.820 possible.

00:48:23.600 So this is

00:48:24.160 one of the

00:48:24.500 weird ones

00:48:24.940 where it

00:48:25.240 could be

00:48:25.540 complete BS

00:48:26.440 or it

00:48:27.720 could be

00:48:27.940 just normal

00:48:28.480 and it

00:48:29.580 means nothing.

00:48:30.600 But if

00:48:31.260 it's complete

00:48:31.760 BS, it's

00:48:32.320 not a

00:48:32.600 problem.

00:48:33.460 And if

00:48:33.820 it's

00:48:34.000 completely

00:48:34.420 normal,

00:48:36.280 I don't

00:48:36.980 even know

00:48:37.280 if that's

00:48:37.600 a problem.

00:48:39.280 Right?

00:48:40.160 Because if

00:48:40.640 we knew

00:48:41.040 China turned

00:48:41.700 off our

00:48:42.120 power, we

00:48:44.280 would treat

00:48:44.760 it just like

00:48:45.260 they nuked

00:48:45.720 us, wouldn't

00:48:46.760 we?

00:48:48.340 As in, you've

00:48:49.500 got five

00:48:49.940 minutes to

00:48:50.360 turn the

00:48:50.660 power back

00:48:51.140 on, or

00:48:52.540 it's going

00:48:53.220 to get

00:48:53.420 bright over

00:48:53.940 there.

00:48:55.860 So to

00:48:57.240 me, them

00:48:58.080 having access

00:48:58.800 to turn off

00:48:59.540 our grid and

00:49:00.820 we all die

00:49:01.440 seems not

00:49:03.800 that different

00:49:04.400 than having

00:49:04.820 nuclear weapons,

00:49:06.700 given that we

00:49:08.080 would know

00:49:08.420 about it.

00:49:08.900 I just saw

00:49:15.600 an interesting

00:49:16.280 meme go by

00:49:16.980 about the

00:49:17.580 elections, but

00:49:18.220 I think that's

00:49:18.980 unconfirmed.

00:49:20.620 All right.

00:49:21.400 So I don't

00:49:22.080 know.

00:49:22.500 Maybe the

00:49:22.960 Chinese hackers

00:49:23.660 are in.

00:49:24.100 Maybe they're

00:49:24.440 not.

00:49:25.040 Sounds a

00:49:25.500 little fake-ish.

00:49:27.500 What about

00:49:28.000 that mysterious

00:49:28.940 Chinese COVID

00:49:30.040 lab uncovered

00:49:30.940 in the city

00:49:31.540 of Reedley,

00:49:32.320 California?

00:49:32.820 I don't know

00:49:34.120 where Reedley

00:49:34.700 is, but I

00:49:36.380 hope I don't

00:49:36.820 live near it.

00:49:37.500 Reedley?

00:49:39.720 Anyway, there

00:49:41.240 was some, you

00:49:42.220 know, code

00:49:42.620 enforcement

00:49:43.100 thing that

00:49:43.620 uncovered an

00:49:44.320 illegal lab

00:49:45.100 doing all

00:49:46.160 kinds of

00:49:46.480 things like

00:49:46.920 pregnancy test

00:49:47.820 kits, bacterial

00:49:48.580 and viral

00:49:49.120 agents, and

00:49:49.920 all kinds of

00:49:51.320 mice and

00:49:52.040 stuff like

00:49:52.580 that.

00:49:53.180 They don't

00:49:53.540 know what's

00:49:53.900 up, but it

00:49:54.440 seems to be

00:49:55.040 Chinese-related

00:49:56.020 lab.

00:49:57.380 Do you know

00:49:58.100 what's true

00:49:58.640 about that

00:49:59.100 story?

00:50:04.620 Maybe

00:50:05.140 nothing.

00:50:05.580 All right.

00:50:07.940 This is like

00:50:08.740 the quintessential

00:50:09.780 story of,

00:50:13.280 you better

00:50:13.700 wait and see

00:50:14.280 on this one.

00:50:15.940 I don't know.

00:50:16.900 There's something

00:50:17.480 very fake and

00:50:18.740 wrong about the

00:50:19.400 whole story.

00:50:21.680 That doesn't

00:50:22.460 mean there's

00:50:23.620 nothing there.

00:50:25.400 I mean,

00:50:25.740 there's probably

00:50:26.260 a lab, but

00:50:27.520 it kind of

00:50:28.160 makes you

00:50:28.520 wonder if it

00:50:29.300 really has any

00:50:30.140 importance to

00:50:31.100 anything.

00:50:31.800 Could it be

00:50:32.400 that there's

00:50:33.000 some people

00:50:34.080 born in

00:50:34.640 China who

00:50:36.460 are just

00:50:37.020 running an

00:50:37.460 illegal little

00:50:38.040 business?

00:50:39.100 And that's

00:50:39.540 it.

00:50:40.780 Why not

00:50:41.340 that?

00:50:41.800 Why can't it

00:50:42.240 just be some

00:50:42.740 people born in

00:50:43.540 China, living

00:50:44.860 in the United

00:50:45.300 States, who

00:50:46.640 made a lab and

00:50:47.500 said, hey, let's

00:50:48.220 see what we can

00:50:48.800 make that we can

00:50:49.500 sell, and they're

00:50:50.620 trying a bunch of

00:50:51.360 stuff.

00:50:52.020 Maybe.

00:50:53.100 I don't know.

00:50:53.800 It just seems to

00:50:54.540 me that if this

00:50:55.160 were some kind

00:50:55.760 of illegal

00:50:57.400 Chinese, if it

00:51:00.400 were a Chinese

00:51:01.220 plot, I

00:51:02.840 don't know why

00:51:03.360 they would

00:51:03.640 have five

00:51:05.060 different product

00:51:05.800 lines.

00:51:07.340 Why would they

00:51:07.880 have five

00:51:08.300 different product

00:51:09.040 lines where

00:51:09.740 things are

00:51:10.140 working on if

00:51:10.860 it's a terrorist

00:51:12.160 lab?

00:51:13.740 You know,

00:51:14.000 pregnancy kits?

00:51:17.760 So there's

00:51:19.420 something about

00:51:20.000 this story that

00:51:20.700 doesn't add up,

00:51:22.240 but it doesn't

00:51:23.060 mean it's some

00:51:23.640 kind of Chinese

00:51:24.900 attack.

00:51:26.620 I don't know

00:51:27.300 what it is,

00:51:28.400 but it's just

00:51:29.880 confusing.

00:51:30.400 That's all we

00:51:31.520 know.

00:51:34.360 All right,

00:51:35.040 here's a little

00:51:37.100 advice.

00:51:39.880 If you're a

00:51:40.780 liar, and

00:51:41.860 you're a

00:51:42.120 gigantic liar,

00:51:43.700 which of these

00:51:44.340 two things

00:51:44.920 should you do?

00:51:45.840 You know you're

00:51:46.420 lying about

00:51:47.080 everything all

00:51:47.660 the time.

00:51:48.680 You should

00:51:49.060 make generic

00:51:50.000 statements that

00:51:51.040 are hard to

00:51:51.520 fact-check, or

00:51:53.420 you should make

00:51:53.980 very detailed,

00:51:55.120 specific claims

00:51:56.180 that would be

00:51:57.320 easy to fact-check.

00:51:59.120 Remember, you're a

00:52:00.040 giant liar all

00:52:00.860 the time.

00:52:01.220 Which one do

00:52:01.660 you do?

00:52:02.980 I'd say you

00:52:03.600 want to go with

00:52:04.120 the generic

00:52:04.620 stuff, right?

00:52:05.920 You want to put

00:52:06.800 in people's minds

00:52:07.780 an idea that the

00:52:09.460 people themselves

00:52:10.360 add the details

00:52:11.300 to.

00:52:12.300 So you want the

00:52:13.280 recipient of your

00:52:14.800 language to put in

00:52:15.760 the details, because

00:52:16.660 if you gave them

00:52:17.420 the details, they

00:52:18.120 could fact-check it.

00:52:19.440 You want them to

00:52:20.020 imagine details.

00:52:20.780 So Kamala Harris

00:52:22.720 said somewhere in

00:52:25.780 public that

00:52:26.980 extremists are

00:52:28.360 advancing a

00:52:29.020 national agenda

00:52:29.820 that is a full-on

00:52:31.360 attack against

00:52:32.140 hard-won freedoms

00:52:33.080 and rights.

00:52:35.180 But she says

00:52:36.220 she's going to

00:52:36.620 keep fighting and

00:52:37.340 win.

00:52:38.420 So who are the

00:52:39.200 extremists?

00:52:40.040 That's kind of

00:52:40.540 general.

00:52:41.980 And why do you

00:52:43.700 say they have a

00:52:44.220 national agenda?

00:52:45.200 Are they all

00:52:45.680 working together?

00:52:46.280 And it's a full-on

00:52:48.180 attack against

00:52:48.900 hard-won freedoms

00:52:49.880 and rights.

00:52:50.600 And which ones

00:52:51.120 were they?

00:52:52.040 Which are the

00:52:52.660 freedoms and rights

00:52:53.580 that are under

00:52:54.280 attack by these

00:52:55.140 extremists?

00:52:55.840 Can you name

00:52:56.260 some?

00:52:57.160 Name some that

00:52:57.960 are under attack?

00:53:00.300 All right, I'll

00:53:00.760 name some.

00:53:02.840 Some of the

00:53:03.480 things that are

00:53:04.040 under attack by

00:53:04.780 the extremists

00:53:05.500 are looting,

00:53:07.140 the right to

00:53:07.780 loot without

00:53:08.480 going to jail.

00:53:10.720 That's under

00:53:11.360 attack, right?

00:53:12.240 The right to

00:53:12.820 loot without

00:53:14.260 having bail and

00:53:15.320 without ever

00:53:15.820 going to jail.

00:53:17.000 That's a right.

00:53:18.200 Because right now

00:53:18.720 that, in effect,

00:53:19.920 that's a right

00:53:20.440 that people in

00:53:21.060 cities have.

00:53:22.100 How about the

00:53:22.620 right to get

00:53:23.120 into college

00:53:23.840 even if you're

00:53:24.540 less qualified

00:53:25.500 than other

00:53:26.240 people of other

00:53:26.900 races?

00:53:28.220 How about that

00:53:28.920 right?

00:53:30.260 Are the

00:53:30.580 extremists

00:53:31.180 fighting against

00:53:31.980 the right to

00:53:32.640 discriminate by

00:53:33.580 race in

00:53:34.540 college?

00:53:35.040 They are.

00:53:36.300 They're fighting

00:53:36.880 against discrimination.

00:53:38.860 How about

00:53:39.580 job preferences

00:53:40.600 by race?

00:53:42.800 Are the

00:53:43.200 extremists

00:53:43.860 fighting against

00:53:44.680 using race as

00:53:45.820 race as a

00:53:46.300 hiring preference?

00:53:47.100 They are.

00:53:48.040 Very extremists.

00:53:49.540 How about

00:53:50.060 child mutilations,

00:53:52.040 as the right

00:53:52.860 would call it?

00:53:54.000 Others would

00:53:54.680 call it gender

00:53:55.620 reaffirming

00:53:56.320 surgery.

00:53:57.660 Are the

00:53:58.400 extremists

00:53:59.060 against minors

00:54:00.840 making decisions

00:54:01.880 that alter their

00:54:02.880 bodies for the

00:54:03.560 rest of their

00:54:03.980 lives?

00:54:05.100 They are.

00:54:06.600 They're fighting

00:54:07.060 that.

00:54:08.020 So they're

00:54:08.440 fighting the

00:54:08.960 right to

00:54:09.980 loot,

00:54:11.600 be racist

00:54:13.000 in colleges

00:54:14.620 and job

00:54:15.160 preferences

00:54:15.620 and for

00:54:16.920 parents to

00:54:17.660 mutilate

00:54:18.000 children if

00:54:18.720 the children

00:54:19.160 claim it's

00:54:19.980 necessary for

00:54:21.120 their good

00:54:23.160 mental health.

00:54:26.400 Those are the

00:54:27.280 extremist

00:54:27.900 policies that

00:54:29.640 Kamala Harris is

00:54:30.380 against.

00:54:31.340 And do you see

00:54:32.160 why she didn't

00:54:32.740 mention any of

00:54:33.460 the freedoms and

00:54:34.240 rights?

00:54:34.560 rights.

00:54:36.300 The reason she

00:54:37.320 didn't mention

00:54:37.860 the freedoms and

00:54:38.860 rights that are

00:54:39.380 being taken

00:54:39.840 away is because

00:54:41.960 she can't.

00:54:44.600 Because nobody

00:54:45.960 wants a country

00:54:46.800 that does this

00:54:48.140 kind of stuff,

00:54:48.780 or at least not

00:54:49.460 many people.

00:54:50.680 Now she's

00:54:51.320 probably also

00:54:51.980 thinking about

00:54:52.620 abortion.

00:54:54.740 But she doesn't

00:54:55.780 have an argument

00:54:56.320 there either,

00:54:57.420 because so far

00:54:58.040 the only thing

00:54:58.620 that's been done

00:54:59.300 that's changed

00:55:00.160 is that the

00:55:01.720 Republicans have

00:55:02.620 said, let the

00:55:03.460 states decide,

00:55:04.560 because the

00:55:05.920 states are

00:55:06.360 closer to the

00:55:06.980 people.

00:55:08.120 That's it.

00:55:09.980 So you

00:55:11.400 didn't have a

00:55:11.900 right taken

00:55:12.480 away, except

00:55:13.920 you could define

00:55:14.760 it that way, by

00:55:15.760 Roe versus

00:55:16.240 Wade decision.

00:55:17.660 Instead, you

00:55:18.660 had a right that

00:55:19.320 was modified so

00:55:21.520 it was more

00:55:21.980 appropriate to

00:55:22.900 the population.

00:55:24.000 In other words,

00:55:24.360 the population

00:55:24.960 could have more

00:55:26.080 control over

00:55:26.900 their own rights

00:55:27.660 by taking it

00:55:28.720 down to the

00:55:29.280 state level.

00:55:31.620 So the

00:55:32.040 extremists gave

00:55:34.000 individuals a

00:55:34.880 little bit more

00:55:35.380 control over

00:55:36.100 their own

00:55:36.520 rights by

00:55:37.480 making it a

00:55:38.060 state issue,

00:55:39.040 state by

00:55:39.420 state.

00:55:40.720 And that's

00:55:41.340 the extremists.

00:55:43.260 How did they

00:55:44.060 make extremists

00:55:44.960 sound good?

00:55:47.860 Did you see

00:55:48.580 that coming?

00:55:49.220 I actually am

00:55:50.200 starting to

00:55:50.680 embrace

00:55:51.440 extremists as

00:55:53.480 a label that's

00:55:54.200 making me

00:55:54.680 sound, well,

00:55:56.400 I would like

00:55:57.420 to be one of

00:55:57.940 those.

00:55:58.860 I would like

00:55:59.540 to be an

00:55:59.940 extremist who

00:56:01.280 is against

00:56:01.740 looting.

00:56:03.660 I wear that

00:56:04.680 badge.

00:56:05.620 I'm totally

00:56:06.060 an extremist

00:56:06.820 about that.

00:56:08.000 I think there

00:56:08.600 should be laws.

00:56:09.780 How about a

00:56:10.780 border?

00:56:12.120 Oh, I'm

00:56:12.660 total extremist

00:56:13.580 on that.

00:56:14.000 I think we

00:56:14.400 should maybe

00:56:14.920 have a country

00:56:15.560 with a border.

00:56:16.800 Total extremist.

00:56:19.200 So that's my

00:56:20.820 advice.

00:56:21.340 If you're a

00:56:22.320 big old liar,

00:56:24.120 keep it generic

00:56:25.020 because you

00:56:25.980 don't want

00:56:26.400 details.

00:56:26.960 All right.

00:56:33.780 Have I

00:56:34.400 missed any

00:56:34.920 fun stories

00:56:35.840 today?

00:56:37.480 Was all of

00:56:38.660 today's news

00:56:39.420 about fake

00:56:40.120 news?

00:56:41.220 Was everybody

00:56:41.680 let me check.

00:56:43.760 All right.

00:56:44.000 I mean, there's

00:56:44.340 real things that

00:56:44.940 people said,

00:56:47.160 but the

00:56:47.500 yeah, I

00:56:49.480 don't know.

00:56:49.780 Seems like all

00:56:50.320 the real news

00:56:50.940 is about fake

00:56:51.580 news other

00:56:53.480 than somebody

00:56:54.300 said something

00:56:54.820 once.

00:56:55.180 keep it

00:56:58.440 general.

00:56:58.940 Scott does

00:56:59.500 this with

00:56:59.960 his predictions.

00:57:00.980 Do I?

00:57:02.300 Do I make

00:57:03.180 general predictions?

00:57:04.820 Do you

00:57:05.000 remember my

00:57:05.760 general prediction

00:57:06.820 that said

00:57:07.860 Trump would

00:57:08.360 win in

00:57:08.720 2016?

00:57:10.420 Sort of

00:57:10.960 generally?

00:57:12.420 You just

00:57:13.020 sort of

00:57:13.360 generally win

00:57:14.000 against all

00:57:14.580 odds?

00:57:16.460 Do you

00:57:16.840 remember my

00:57:17.340 general prediction

00:57:18.120 that the

00:57:18.760 vaccinations

00:57:19.260 wouldn't work?

00:57:21.660 Sort of

00:57:22.340 general.

00:57:23.460 They won't

00:57:23.900 work.

00:57:25.180 Yeah.

00:57:29.720 Oh, well.

00:57:33.200 But I

00:57:33.800 will give

00:57:34.580 you that

00:57:35.080 my prediction

00:57:37.120 about some

00:57:38.340 kind of

00:57:38.720 counterforce

00:57:39.500 rising.

00:57:41.880 That doesn't

00:57:42.640 feel like a

00:57:43.080 prediction.

00:57:44.200 That feels

00:57:44.940 like a

00:57:45.320 description of

00:57:45.960 what I'm

00:57:46.200 feeling.

00:57:49.820 And

00:57:49.980 Purgosian is

00:57:50.660 headed to the

00:57:51.160 Polish border.

00:57:52.220 Do you think

00:57:52.640 Purgosian is

00:57:53.360 with Wagner?

00:57:53.900 Do you

00:57:55.160 think he's

00:57:55.520 with his

00:57:55.840 army?

00:57:57.520 When I

00:57:58.120 told you

00:57:58.440 that Purgosian

00:57:59.240 was absolutely

00:58:00.440 definitely not

00:58:01.340 going to

00:58:01.800 Belarus to

00:58:02.520 live his

00:58:02.880 life,

00:58:03.900 was that

00:58:04.380 sort of

00:58:04.740 general,

00:58:06.660 sort of

00:58:07.960 generic

00:58:08.560 statement?

00:58:09.640 No, that

00:58:10.020 was very

00:58:10.500 specific.

00:58:11.520 He's not

00:58:12.160 on the

00:58:12.560 plane.

00:58:13.640 That's pretty

00:58:14.340 specific.

00:58:14.800 How about

00:58:17.240 when the

00:58:17.640 secret sonic

00:58:18.540 weapon was

00:58:19.960 in the

00:58:20.260 news and

00:58:20.760 I said,

00:58:21.280 does not

00:58:21.840 exist, you

00:58:22.820 will never

00:58:23.240 see evidence

00:58:23.980 of a secret

00:58:24.520 sonic weapon.

00:58:25.460 Kind of

00:58:25.840 generic.

00:58:28.300 I don't

00:58:28.780 know, I

00:58:29.040 make pretty

00:58:29.860 specific

00:58:30.520 predictions.

00:58:35.420 Do you

00:58:36.200 believe

00:58:36.420 Antarctica

00:58:36.860 telescope

00:58:37.480 laser

00:58:37.860 weapon

00:58:38.220 whistleblower?

00:58:39.100 No.

00:58:39.460 somebody

00:58:41.680 says there's

00:58:42.220 some

00:58:42.400 Antarctica

00:58:43.000 laser

00:58:43.580 weapon.

00:58:45.600 No, I

00:58:46.200 don't believe

00:58:46.520 that.

00:58:47.640 There does,

00:58:49.920 let's see,

00:58:50.400 what?

00:58:52.360 Wait, wait,

00:58:52.800 wait, wait,

00:58:53.180 is that

00:58:53.480 true?

00:58:53.920 Devin

00:58:54.320 Archer is

00:58:54.860 John Kerry's

00:58:55.640 stepson?

00:58:57.960 Is that

00:58:58.600 true?

00:59:00.360 Somebody

00:59:00.880 just saying

00:59:01.340 in the

00:59:01.620 comments,

00:59:02.620 I don't

00:59:02.900 know if I

00:59:03.180 believe

00:59:03.400 anything.

00:59:07.300 The

00:59:07.780 specific

00:59:08.300 ocean?

00:59:09.460 All right.

00:59:16.400 Was there

00:59:16.940 anything else

00:59:17.320 I've forgotten?

00:59:18.580 Somebody

00:59:19.060 says it's

00:59:19.500 true.

00:59:20.460 See, this

00:59:21.080 is why you

00:59:21.860 need the

00:59:22.260 app of

00:59:23.420 who's

00:59:23.720 connected

00:59:24.160 to who.

00:59:26.340 Wouldn't

00:59:26.620 the whole

00:59:27.500 story about

00:59:28.560 the story

00:59:30.800 about Hunter

00:59:31.360 makes a lot

00:59:32.800 more sense

00:59:33.500 if this is

00:59:35.080 true?

00:59:35.620 Somebody

00:59:35.980 saying that

00:59:36.760 Hunter's

00:59:38.580 business

00:59:38.980 partner,

00:59:39.460 was John

00:59:41.300 Kerry's

00:59:41.740 stepson.

00:59:43.660 Doesn't

00:59:44.220 the story

00:59:44.660 feel different

00:59:45.400 with that

00:59:46.460 information?

00:59:50.000 Yeah.

00:59:51.020 Feels a

00:59:51.740 little different,

00:59:52.200 doesn't it?

00:59:55.100 So that's

00:59:56.500 what we

00:59:56.780 need.

00:59:57.060 We need

00:59:57.340 the app

00:59:57.760 that shows

00:59:58.200 everybody's

00:59:58.700 connection to

00:59:59.320 everybody else

00:59:59.900 so the

01:00:00.300 news makes

01:00:00.860 sense.

01:00:01.200 you could

01:00:01.880 even imagine

01:00:02.400 the news

01:00:02.960 being

01:00:03.260 overlaid

01:00:03.960 onto the

01:00:04.720 map of

01:00:05.540 connections.

01:00:07.260 So imagine

01:00:07.920 the map

01:00:08.520 and then

01:00:09.860 the news

01:00:10.240 story is

01:00:11.040 overlaid on

01:00:12.200 the person.

01:00:13.740 So if you

01:00:14.040 want to read

01:00:14.380 that news

01:00:14.780 you can

01:00:15.140 click on

01:00:15.500 the person

01:00:15.900 but as

01:00:16.380 soon as

01:00:16.560 you click

01:00:16.880 on it

01:00:17.160 it lights

01:00:17.620 up all

01:00:18.020 their

01:00:18.160 connections

01:00:18.560 to the

01:00:19.040 other

01:00:19.320 well-known

01:00:20.800 characters.

01:00:22.760 That would

01:00:23.340 be news.

01:00:24.680 Now that

01:00:25.300 would be news

01:00:25.940 you could use.

01:00:27.020 The rest of the

01:00:27.460 news is

01:00:27.960 you can't really

01:00:29.180 use it

01:00:29.640 because you

01:00:29.980 don't know

01:00:30.300 what's real.

01:00:32.420 Like Amazon's

01:00:33.460 x-ray.

01:00:34.340 Maybe.

01:00:34.740 I don't know

01:00:35.040 what Amazon's

01:00:35.700 x-ray is.

01:00:40.040 Created the

01:00:40.680 partnership

01:00:41.120 on his

01:00:41.920 advice.

01:00:42.720 I don't

01:00:43.060 know about

01:00:43.380 that.

01:00:47.760 Guilt by

01:00:48.420 association?

01:00:49.940 No.

01:00:51.660 How did

01:00:52.180 you even

01:00:52.460 hear guilt

01:00:52.920 by association?

01:00:54.780 No.

01:00:56.780 Association

01:00:57.220 simply explains

01:00:58.280 a situation.

01:00:59.180 It's not

01:01:01.080 like you

01:01:01.340 had lunch

01:01:01.720 with somebody.

01:01:02.320 That's not

01:01:02.920 what I'm

01:01:03.140 talking about.

01:01:03.960 But if

01:01:04.300 you're actually

01:01:04.720 related to

01:01:05.620 somebody or

01:01:06.240 you're married

01:01:06.780 to somebody

01:01:07.420 yeah I want

01:01:08.720 to know

01:01:08.960 that.

01:01:10.720 I want

01:01:11.060 to know

01:01:11.280 that.

01:01:13.640 All right.

01:01:14.480 Yeah.

01:01:17.140 Good

01:01:17.400 screen.

01:01:17.880 Thank you

01:01:18.520 Rick.

01:01:19.020 Appreciate

01:01:19.380 it.

01:01:25.060 Is there

01:01:25.700 a COVID

01:01:26.140 2.0?

01:01:27.160 I don't

01:01:27.580 know.

01:01:27.860 I've

01:01:29.620 never

01:01:29.840 believed in

01:01:30.700 the

01:01:31.140 intentional

01:01:32.000 release of

01:01:32.960 COVID so

01:01:34.760 the world

01:01:35.600 economic order

01:01:37.120 can be

01:01:37.940 preserved or

01:01:39.080 something.

01:01:39.220 I don't

01:01:39.440 believe in

01:01:39.780 that.

01:01:44.140 Speaking of

01:01:45.040 Greg

01:01:45.560 Gottfeld,

01:01:46.520 did you see

01:01:47.240 he got

01:01:47.640 heat for

01:01:48.840 the crazy

01:01:49.840 people calling

01:01:50.640 him anti-Semitic

01:01:51.820 for saying

01:01:52.620 nothing like

01:01:53.380 that?

01:01:53.660 So without

01:01:55.160 even getting

01:01:55.680 into the

01:01:56.040 details of

01:01:56.940 what he did

01:01:57.400 or did

01:01:57.660 not say,

01:01:58.640 just trust

01:01:59.240 me.

01:02:00.020 Can you

01:02:00.300 trust me?

01:02:00.820 He didn't

01:02:01.100 say anything

01:02:01.960 that was

01:02:02.740 even remotely.

01:02:03.960 You couldn't

01:02:05.040 even construe

01:02:05.780 it as

01:02:06.700 possibly being

01:02:07.480 anti-Semitic.

01:02:08.600 And he

01:02:09.000 isn't.

01:02:10.000 Right?

01:02:10.220 And he

01:02:10.600 isn't.

01:02:11.740 So but

01:02:13.700 there was

01:02:14.220 some horrible

01:02:15.920 person who

01:02:16.420 wrote an

01:02:16.720 article.

01:02:17.320 He decided

01:02:17.860 to come down

01:02:18.380 hard on

01:02:18.900 her on

01:02:19.260 Twitter.

01:02:20.080 He came

01:02:20.620 down pretty

01:02:21.020 hard on

01:02:21.660 his troll.

01:02:24.240 And she

01:02:24.560 was complaining

01:02:25.120 about it.

01:02:27.720 It was

01:02:28.200 complaining.

01:02:28.920 So she was

01:02:29.540 complaining that

01:02:30.320 there was

01:02:30.600 pushback to

01:02:31.340 her bullshit

01:02:31.840 story.

01:02:33.000 So she's

01:02:33.780 trying to

01:02:34.180 ruin somebody's

01:02:35.000 career just

01:02:35.640 to get clicks

01:02:36.380 on a story

01:02:37.380 that's clearly

01:02:38.240 and obviously

01:02:38.920 untrue.

01:02:39.800 And anybody

01:02:40.760 could tell

01:02:41.180 it's untrue.

01:02:41.840 She could

01:02:42.140 tell it

01:02:42.420 herself.

01:02:43.520 So that's

01:02:45.020 like the worst

01:02:45.520 person in the

01:02:46.160 world.

01:02:47.340 Imagine trying

01:02:48.000 to ruin

01:02:48.420 somebody's

01:02:48.900 reputation

01:02:49.520 in life

01:02:50.140 for a few

01:02:51.320 clicks.

01:02:52.660 For a few

01:02:53.160 clicks.

01:02:54.160 You're the

01:02:54.640 worst person

01:02:55.380 in the whole

01:02:55.980 fucking world

01:02:56.860 if you do

01:02:57.340 that.

01:02:58.580 Whole world.

01:02:59.680 You're just

01:03:00.100 a terrible

01:03:00.760 scum.

01:03:01.780 And I think

01:03:02.560 Greg was just

01:03:03.140 calling around.

01:03:04.100 Because I

01:03:04.400 think the

01:03:04.880 people who

01:03:05.360 are seriously

01:03:06.760 just the

01:03:07.400 scum of the

01:03:08.020 earth, the

01:03:09.060 ones who are

01:03:09.420 just making

01:03:09.820 up stories to

01:03:10.520 take people

01:03:11.000 down, I

01:03:12.220 think they

01:03:12.900 need to be

01:03:14.460 called out.

01:03:16.480 And maybe

01:03:16.920 that's part of

01:03:17.460 the force

01:03:18.660 that's happening.

01:03:19.840 I think

01:03:20.420 you're seeing

01:03:20.800 more and

01:03:21.140 more people

01:03:21.620 who reflexively

01:03:22.880 know that

01:03:24.040 when you see

01:03:24.500 a claim about

01:03:25.320 a famous

01:03:25.860 person being

01:03:26.640 bad, unless

01:03:28.560 they went

01:03:29.040 full Mel

01:03:29.720 Gibson and

01:03:30.340 it's on

01:03:30.640 video, it's

01:03:31.920 not true.

01:03:33.440 It's not

01:03:33.900 true.

01:03:36.720 All right.

01:03:37.480 I'll explore

01:03:37.940 the book with

01:03:38.400 x-ray.

01:03:38.940 Got it.

01:03:39.300 Teddy, we

01:03:47.600 have a

01:03:47.860 stupid person

01:03:48.700 here I'd

01:03:49.000 like to

01:03:49.260 talk to.

01:03:50.380 So, Teddy,

01:03:53.120 you're too

01:03:56.780 stupid to

01:03:57.260 talk to,

01:03:57.880 honestly.

01:03:58.600 Because I

01:03:59.100 know you

01:03:59.360 don't believe

01:03:59.780 what you're

01:04:00.060 saying.

01:04:00.940 There's

01:04:01.340 somebody on

01:04:01.740 YouTube who's

01:04:02.340 trying to

01:04:02.760 sell the

01:04:03.480 idea that

01:04:05.040 I'm not

01:04:07.840 even going

01:04:08.120 to repeat

01:04:08.520 what you

01:04:08.880 said.

01:04:09.320 You're too

01:04:09.840 fucking stupid

01:04:10.540 to be talking

01:04:11.580 in public.

01:04:13.400 All right.

01:04:13.760 If you

01:04:14.320 actually believe

01:04:15.280 there's somebody

01:04:17.560 who thinks

01:04:18.220 there was an

01:04:19.320 upside to the

01:04:20.240 Holocaust or

01:04:21.100 to slavery

01:04:21.700 because you

01:04:22.800 think you

01:04:23.300 heard it on

01:04:23.880 TV, you're

01:04:25.400 a fucking

01:04:25.840 idiot.

01:04:27.480 Nobody, nobody

01:04:28.720 anywhere ever

01:04:29.540 had those

01:04:29.980 thoughts.

01:04:30.840 And you

01:04:31.160 know it.

01:04:32.000 You know it,

01:04:32.580 Teddy.

01:04:33.240 Teddy, you

01:04:33.900 know it.

01:04:35.040 Come on, you

01:04:35.460 know it.

01:04:36.140 Admit it.

01:04:37.020 You know

01:04:37.540 you're lying and

01:04:39.280 you know that

01:04:39.740 nobody has ever

01:04:40.620 had the thoughts

01:04:41.400 you're imagining

01:04:42.580 that Greg

01:04:43.420 Gottfeld had or

01:04:44.340 you're imagining

01:04:44.800 somebody else

01:04:45.420 had.

01:04:46.640 Didn't happen.

01:04:47.700 Nobody ever had

01:04:48.360 those thoughts.

01:04:49.160 Nobody ever said

01:04:49.840 those thoughts.

01:04:51.700 And you know

01:04:52.200 it.

01:04:52.720 You know it.

01:04:53.640 Never happened,

01:04:54.300 Teddy.

01:04:56.620 All right, that's

01:04:57.340 all I got for you,

01:04:58.240 YouTubers.

01:04:59.440 I'll talk to you

01:05:00.140 tomorrow.

01:05:00.640 Thanks for being

01:05:01.140 awesome.

01:05:02.360 Except for Teddy.

01:05:05.040 сд
