Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2191 Scott Adams： It's Better If I Don't Put A Title On Today's Show. Anything Could Happen

00:00:00.000 Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. 1.00

00:00:02.220 Doo-doo-doo-doo. 1.00

00:00:04.440 Good morning, everybody, and welcome

00:00:06.040 to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:09.680 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:12.080 Wow, did you pick the right day to come.

00:00:15.080 We got a show for you, like this show of shows,

00:00:17.540 like no show has ever been.

00:00:19.220 Better than any show, everybody's saying so.

00:00:21.380 And if you'd like to take it up to levels

00:00:23.040 that are unheard of,

00:00:25.240 all you need is a mug or a glass,

00:00:27.180 a tank or chalice or a stein,

00:00:28.420 a canteen jug or a flask,

00:00:30.280 a vessel of any kind,

00:00:32.260 fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:33.760 I like coffee.

00:00:35.660 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure

00:00:37.580 that don't be the day,

00:00:39.500 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:40.760 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:44.620 What happens now? Go.

00:00:49.400 Yeah, extra good this morning.

00:00:51.540 It was a little extra good.

00:00:54.540 There are no bonus points for gargling.

00:00:58.320 No, no, no, no, no.

00:01:00.760 Hold on.

00:01:01.600 We've got a couple of high achievers here.

00:01:03.900 They're trying to take it beyond the simultaneous sip

00:01:06.460 to gargling.

00:01:08.560 No, no.

00:01:10.340 The sip is good enough.

00:01:12.460 Stay.

00:01:13.460 Don't go to gargle.

00:01:14.440 Well, we've got all kinds of news.

00:01:17.360 Obviously, we'd be talking about the Trump stuff.

00:01:21.200 We'll get to that.

00:01:22.220 But while people are streaming in to watch,

00:01:25.220 apparently Mayor Adams,

00:01:27.080 no relationship to me in New York City,

00:01:29.840 is considering putting migrant camps in Central Park

00:01:33.560 and a bunch of other places in New York City.

00:01:36.160 What do you think of that?

00:01:37.100 A migrant camp in Central Park.

00:01:42.220 How about, let me see if I can figure out

00:01:46.400 how best to manage this situation.

00:01:49.840 How about we do, I don't know,

00:01:52.740 the only thing that was possible to do that could work.

00:01:56.480 How about that?

00:01:57.140 Yes, literally the only thing that would be a good idea

00:02:00.900 is to find some public space,

00:02:04.080 put up some tents,

00:02:06.120 and get them off the sidewalks

00:02:08.080 where the other people don't want to walk past them.

00:02:10.980 Of course this is a good idea.

00:02:13.900 It's because compared to the other ideas,

00:02:16.200 the other ideas are horrible.

00:02:19.460 Do you think you'd be happy

00:02:20.900 to know there's a migrant camp

00:02:22.900 in the middle of Central Park

00:02:24.760 if you lived in New York City?

00:02:26.280 No, you wouldn't be happy about it,

00:02:28.460 but it's way better than the alternative.

00:02:31.000 And now what's the third alternative?

00:02:33.400 Name one other thing you can do.

00:02:35.680 Let's say, kill them all, put them in jail,

00:02:38.700 ship them back, can't do that,

00:02:40.620 it's a sanctuary city.

00:02:42.620 What are you going to do?

00:02:44.200 They're basically down to one option.

00:02:46.740 So even talking about that as an option is weird

00:02:50.360 because it's really a tent on the sidewalk

00:02:52.720 or a tent in the park.

00:02:55.000 It's kind of a no-brainer.

00:02:56.840 So yes, tent in the park.

00:02:59.420 And as I told you before,

00:03:00.900 I've invested in camping

00:03:03.040 as a personal investment.

00:03:06.660 I bought a company that does camping stuff.

00:03:11.020 Because I just feel like,

00:03:13.040 I hate to say it,

00:03:14.420 but a lot of humankind is going to move outdoors.

00:03:17.740 Does it seem like that to you?

00:03:19.120 That we're kind of at a point

00:03:21.220 where just a whole bunch of humans

00:03:22.660 are going to be living outdoors?

00:03:25.500 And I'm not even sure they'll be less happy.

00:03:28.360 You know, if it's someplace

00:03:29.640 where the climate is survivable,

00:03:32.740 I don't know, they might be happier.

00:03:34.120 Who knows?

00:03:34.500 Well, I say that human women 1.00

00:03:39.180 are 20% obsolete, roughly speaking.

00:03:42.540 And by that I mean 20% of human males

00:03:45.720 probably would already choose an AI companion.

00:03:50.680 Because the big story is

00:03:52.920 there's an AI influencer,

00:03:55.120 there are probably more of them,

00:03:56.540 that are completely artificial.

00:03:58.060 They're just digital creations

00:03:59.320 that look like human women, 1.00

00:04:01.360 except very attractive,

00:04:03.540 and men are sending them money 0.99

00:04:04.840 and forming connections and stuff.

00:04:07.060 I would say that at the moment,

00:04:09.640 right now, current technology,

00:04:12.400 20% of women are obsolete. 1.00

00:04:14.720 And by that I mean

00:04:17.180 that if you had a choice

00:04:19.620 of matching up with one of the least,

00:04:22.580 you know, the bottom 20% of women, 1.00

00:04:25.240 you'd probably choose an AI woman instead. 0.99

00:04:28.900 If you could get, you know,

00:04:30.380 somebody in the top 5%,

00:04:32.120 you'd probably still prefer a human woman. 0.99

00:04:35.380 Very much so.

00:04:36.800 But the bottom 20%,

00:04:38.720 you don't think I would prefer right now

00:04:41.780 if the only option I had

00:04:43.220 was a woman who was in,

00:04:45.760 let's say, the bottom 20% of desirability.

00:04:48.840 It was my only option.

00:04:50.780 But I have an option for an AI creature

00:04:54.080 that could be my companion.

00:04:55.540 There's no contest.

00:04:56.960 I would take the AI all day long.

00:04:59.940 Right?

00:05:01.080 Am I talking crazy?

00:05:03.560 Is that crazy?

00:05:05.600 Now, here's what I say to you.

00:05:09.080 For every single person

00:05:11.420 who tells me that that's weird

00:05:12.800 and creepy and wrong

00:05:13.860 and will never happen,

00:05:15.380 I say to you,

00:05:16.660 you do not understand

00:05:17.960 the depth of the loneliness problem

00:05:22.460 in the United States.

00:05:24.720 Loneliness is one of those things

00:05:26.380 that if it's not bothering you personally,

00:05:28.820 it's kind of invisible, isn't it?

00:05:32.220 Other people's loneliness

00:05:33.560 doesn't bother you.

00:05:34.820 Do you know why?

00:05:35.420 Because you're not with them

00:05:37.340 by definition.

00:05:39.780 Yeah.

00:05:40.280 Other people's loneliness

00:05:41.960 doesn't bother you

00:05:42.980 because you're not with them.

00:05:44.920 It's just something happening

00:05:45.900 in a stranger's head

00:05:46.860 that you don't see.

00:05:48.640 So you've got this

00:05:49.800 enormous loneliness problem

00:05:52.680 in the United States,

00:05:53.660 one of our biggest problems,

00:05:55.080 I would say.

00:05:55.900 Very near the top

00:05:56.900 of our biggest problems.

00:05:58.760 And the AI

00:05:59.640 is clearly the solution.

00:06:01.280 And there's no way

00:06:03.540 that you're not going to see

00:06:05.360 at least 20% to 30%

00:06:07.800 of the public,

00:06:08.540 the male public especially,

00:06:10.660 going to AI companions.

00:06:12.560 I think in five years,

00:06:14.220 30% of men

00:06:15.120 will have AI-generated companions.

00:06:18.200 30% of men in five years.

00:06:20.500 That's my prediction.

00:06:22.900 Somebody says you're projecting.

00:06:25.520 That is my point.

00:06:28.260 Now, you're not disagreeing with me.

00:06:30.360 All right, let me say that again.

00:06:31.560 Somebody says I'm projecting.

00:06:33.620 When I say that 30% of men 0.78

00:06:35.540 will have AI companions,

00:06:37.480 that's my point.

00:06:39.380 My point is I'm projecting.

00:06:41.540 I'm saying that if you were,

00:06:43.300 if you had experienced

00:06:44.320 any loneliness in the past year,

00:06:47.000 you know, if you've gone

00:06:47.580 through a divorce, et cetera,

00:06:49.000 if you've experienced it,

00:06:51.440 you agree with me.

00:06:54.000 All right, that's,

00:06:54.640 absolutes are weird.

00:06:56.060 But mostly,

00:06:57.460 if you've experienced it,

00:06:59.540 you agree with me.

00:07:01.280 If you haven't experienced it,

00:07:02.780 you say,

00:07:03.060 whoa, you're projecting.

00:07:04.640 There can't be that many people

00:07:05.960 like you, Scott.

00:07:07.340 No, my point is

00:07:08.420 you don't know how many people

00:07:09.780 there are like me.

00:07:11.360 Now, at the moment,

00:07:12.060 I'm not that lonely, right?

00:07:13.460 So, if you're looking at me,

00:07:15.500 you know, this week,

00:07:16.780 you know, I'm getting my life

00:07:19.480 slowly, you know,

00:07:20.900 rebuilding from, you know,

00:07:22.320 divorce, you know,

00:07:24.320 discombobulation.

00:07:25.700 So, I'm in good shape

00:07:26.740 at the moment.

00:07:27.920 I have zero interest

00:07:29.440 in the AI companion

00:07:31.120 at the moment.

00:07:33.660 But if you take me back

00:07:35.360 to any of the days,

00:07:37.100 let's say,

00:07:37.880 immediately following divorce,

00:07:39.540 divorce and how that feels,

00:07:41.820 if that had been

00:07:42.600 a permanent situation,

00:07:44.500 and I'm lucky

00:07:45.060 because I'm healthy

00:07:46.220 and I'm rich

00:07:46.920 and I'm a public figure.

00:07:49.620 So, as you might imagine,

00:07:51.580 it's kind of easy

00:07:52.260 for me to make friends.

00:07:54.480 You know,

00:07:55.020 there's like no,

00:07:56.140 there's just no barrier.

00:07:57.720 I can make as many friends

00:07:58.700 as I want.

00:07:59.780 So, you know,

00:08:00.420 I can fix my problem.

00:08:01.660 I don't have any problem

00:08:02.620 that needs to be fixed.

00:08:04.520 You know,

00:08:04.680 it just takes a little while

00:08:05.560 to manage things.

00:08:08.000 But,

00:08:08.460 if I were in that situation

00:08:09.960 and didn't see a way out,

00:08:12.040 if I didn't see a way

00:08:13.160 to make friends

00:08:13.900 or to have any kind of

00:08:15.260 human interaction,

00:08:17.320 yeah,

00:08:17.740 absolutely,

00:08:18.360 I'd go AI.

00:08:19.420 And if you don't see that,

00:08:22.040 you're really going to be

00:08:23.000 blindsided by one

00:08:24.040 of the biggest trends.

00:08:26.520 All right.

00:08:30.100 And ladies, 0.99

00:08:31.120 if you thought

00:08:31.700 that you could abuse nerds

00:08:33.060 for over a hundred years

00:08:35.160 and the nerds

00:08:36.800 would not find a way

00:08:37.760 to invent something

00:08:39.200 to replace you,

00:08:40.640 well,

00:08:41.060 you were,

00:08:42.260 you had a little blind spot

00:08:43.580 there,

00:08:43.880 I think.

00:08:44.700 A little bit of a blind spot.

00:08:46.820 All right.

00:08:47.380 Yes,

00:08:47.680 of course,

00:08:48.140 the nerds are going

00:08:48.740 to replace women 1.00

00:08:49.480 who don't have interest

00:08:51.520 in nerds.

00:08:52.740 Now,

00:08:53.000 when I say nerds,

00:08:53.760 I mean that

00:08:54.180 in the most

00:08:54.760 complimentary way.

00:08:58.300 I love engineers

00:08:59.520 and technical people.

00:09:01.660 so I think

00:09:03.820 they're going to do

00:09:04.280 what they have to do.

00:09:05.400 They're going to build

00:09:06.060 themselves some friends.

00:09:08.340 All right,

00:09:08.680 I saw a tweet

00:09:09.700 by Men's Sexual Health

00:09:11.700 and it was a list

00:09:13.680 of the,

00:09:15.260 what do they call it,

00:09:16.100 the eight signs

00:09:17.900 of a good woman.

00:09:19.540 Would you like to know

00:09:20.640 the eight signs

00:09:22.140 of a good woman?

00:09:23.980 All right.

00:09:25.040 Now,

00:09:25.340 you want to get all eight.

00:09:27.440 You want to get

00:09:28.140 all eight of these,

00:09:28.820 so look at

00:09:30.460 the women around you

00:09:32.140 and see which ones

00:09:34.000 could hit all eight.

00:09:35.780 Number one,

00:09:36.520 loyal,

00:09:37.980 modest,

00:09:39.920 tattoo-less.

00:09:41.440 Now,

00:09:41.720 this is somebody

00:09:42.280 else's opinion.

00:09:43.200 I'm not reading

00:09:43.720 my opinion.

00:09:44.780 This is from

00:09:45.320 a Men's Sexual Health,

00:09:46.700 that's just the name

00:09:47.600 of the Twitter account.

00:09:49.820 No male friends.

00:09:53.060 No male friends.

00:09:54.840 Not glued to her phone.

00:09:56.260 doesn't have Instagram

00:09:58.500 or TikTok,

00:10:00.120 is mentally 0.52

00:10:00.740 and emotionally stable,

00:10:02.400 and has a good

00:10:03.500 relationship

00:10:04.060 with her father.

00:10:06.340 Now,

00:10:06.980 I've never seen

00:10:07.720 such a strong endorsement

00:10:08.960 of the Amish,

00:10:10.380 but it's a good thing

00:10:12.660 the Amish are finally

00:10:13.860 getting their due.

00:10:15.340 And Amish women, 1.00

00:10:17.240 boom,

00:10:18.840 Amish women 0.71

00:10:19.600 killing it.

00:10:21.140 So if you'd like

00:10:22.060 a woman who is,

00:10:23.980 as Men's Sexual Health

00:10:24.860 says a good woman, 0.94

00:10:26.920 if you want

00:10:27.340 a good woman,

00:10:28.940 oh,

00:10:29.340 don't get any

00:10:29.900 of those harlots

00:10:30.600 with tattoos.

00:10:32.480 Don't come home

00:10:33.300 with some tattooed harlot

00:10:34.720 when you could have

00:10:36.080 an Amish woman

00:10:36.700 and really,

00:10:38.980 really get

00:10:39.400 the good stuff.

00:10:40.960 All right.

00:10:44.600 I saw one prediction

00:10:46.940 from Jean-Francois

00:10:48.980 de Calipier.

00:10:50.160 And if you don't mind,

00:10:53.240 I'm going to pronounce

00:10:54.020 his name again

00:10:54.800 just for my own fun.

00:10:57.520 So you could talk

00:10:58.320 among yourselves,

00:10:59.420 but I'd like to

00:11:00.120 wrestle with his name

00:11:01.860 a little bit more.

00:11:03.640 Jean-Francois

00:11:04.700 Galipier.

00:11:06.200 Galipier.

00:11:07.960 I hope that's close.

00:11:09.800 Anyway.

00:11:10.640 All right.

00:11:10.900 He has a white-pilling

00:11:12.920 kind of opinion

00:11:13.980 that if you have

00:11:15.340 a bunch of AI

00:11:16.500 digital fake women, 1.00

00:11:18.280 it will make

00:11:19.860 the real human women 0.87

00:11:22.160 who are trying

00:11:23.340 to look pretty

00:11:24.120 on social media

00:11:25.240 a dime a dozen.

00:11:27.480 Because if,

00:11:28.220 right now,

00:11:28.720 if you see a beautiful woman

00:11:29.840 on social media,

00:11:31.820 you say to yourself,

00:11:32.840 whoa,

00:11:33.380 a real live

00:11:34.060 beautiful woman.

00:11:35.320 But suppose

00:11:36.200 nine out of ten of them

00:11:37.240 were not real.

00:11:39.880 What if nine out of ten

00:11:40.900 are just not real?

00:11:43.560 Well,

00:11:44.000 you would

00:11:44.680 maybe slowly

00:11:45.900 or even quickly

00:11:46.800 decide that

00:11:48.240 looking at these pictures

00:11:49.320 on social media

00:11:50.260 was just

00:11:51.480 not doing it

00:11:52.600 for you anymore.

00:11:54.080 Because it was just,

00:11:55.460 you would just be

00:11:56.320 overwhelmed

00:11:56.800 with the same look,

00:11:58.200 right?

00:11:58.500 You would just,

00:11:58.960 oh, yeah,

00:11:59.440 it's perfect.

00:12:00.300 Then when you saw

00:12:00.840 a real human,

00:12:01.640 you'd be like,

00:12:02.080 oh, a little flawed.

00:12:04.720 So one thing

00:12:05.800 might be that

00:12:06.560 the AI,

00:12:08.300 you know,

00:12:08.580 women posing

00:12:09.680 on AI

00:12:10.320 may become

00:12:11.020 a thing of the past

00:12:11.940 because they would

00:12:13.080 be competing

00:12:13.580 with AI

00:12:14.180 and losing.

00:12:15.760 The AI

00:12:16.080 would just look better.

00:12:19.200 So,

00:12:20.200 maybe,

00:12:21.740 maybe,

00:12:22.500 but I think that

00:12:23.400 I think the real big change

00:12:25.740 is going to be people

00:12:26.440 having real AI

00:12:27.560 companions.

00:12:29.520 All right,

00:12:29.740 let's talk about politics.

00:12:30.840 I know that's why

00:12:31.440 you're here.

00:12:33.140 So,

00:12:34.260 Vivek

00:12:34.740 is,

00:12:36.720 I feel like

00:12:38.020 a broken record.

00:12:39.800 Every day I wake up

00:12:41.220 and every day

00:12:42.580 there's a new story

00:12:43.500 about Vivek Ramaswamy

00:12:45.100 getting the so-called

00:12:47.500 earned media.

00:12:49.000 In other words,

00:12:49.480 he's doing something

00:12:50.260 in the real world

00:12:51.320 that makes the media

00:12:52.960 it's impossible

00:12:53.820 to ignore him.

00:12:55.340 Do you remember

00:12:55.800 what Chris Christie

00:12:56.720 did this week?

00:12:58.960 I don't.

00:13:00.440 Do you remember

00:13:00.860 what Tim Scott

00:13:01.920 did this week?

00:13:04.440 Probably talked

00:13:05.300 to people.

00:13:07.060 Do you remember

00:13:07.840 what Pence

00:13:08.420 did this week?

00:13:09.180 got blamed

00:13:11.780 for some shit, 0.75

00:13:12.620 said some dumb shit.

00:13:13.800 That's it.

00:13:14.940 That's all you know

00:13:15.680 about all those

00:13:16.320 other candidates,

00:13:17.220 right?

00:13:17.900 But what do you know

00:13:18.660 about Vivek?

00:13:19.520 Well,

00:13:20.060 this is just one

00:13:20.960 of the three things

00:13:21.720 he's going to do today

00:13:22.540 that are newsworthy.

00:13:23.920 He's proposing

00:13:24.640 a constitutional amendment

00:13:27.560 that requires citizens

00:13:28.660 from 18 to 24

00:13:29.860 to pass a civics test

00:13:31.280 in order to vote.

00:13:33.460 The same test

00:13:34.820 immigrants

00:13:35.480 have to take

00:13:37.140 to become

00:13:37.820 naturalized citizens.

00:13:39.180 Do you like it

00:13:41.800 or hate it?

00:13:42.940 Love it or hate it?

00:13:45.020 You can't vote

00:13:46.020 even if you're

00:13:46.760 a natural citizen.

00:13:47.940 You'd have to have

00:13:48.460 a constitutional amendment.

00:13:51.700 But you've got to be

00:13:53.060 at least as aware

00:13:54.320 of the country

00:13:54.840 as the immigrants

00:13:56.120 who have to

00:13:57.740 pass the test

00:13:58.420 to become citizens.

00:14:01.240 Yeah.

00:14:02.940 So here's,

00:14:04.080 let me talk about this

00:14:05.160 in two different ways.

00:14:06.100 From a political perspective

00:14:08.380 was this a good play?

00:14:11.000 From a political perspective.

00:14:16.000 No, hold on.

00:14:17.360 We're talking about it.

00:14:19.380 No, we're talking about it

00:14:20.500 so it's a good play.

00:14:22.700 Remember when Trump

00:14:24.120 would say crazy things

00:14:25.440 that you wouldn't

00:14:26.240 even agree with

00:14:27.040 and went too far?

00:14:28.720 But then you learned

00:14:29.780 that the more attention

00:14:30.620 you get,

00:14:31.120 the better you do?

00:14:31.740 So he's getting attention.

00:14:34.420 If you don't like the idea,

00:14:36.680 that's irrelevant

00:14:37.520 to the politics.

00:14:39.000 Because the politics

00:14:39.740 is about earning attention

00:14:41.240 and you just got some,

00:14:42.400 got some free attention.

00:14:44.500 He's just killing it.

00:14:46.740 Nobody's coming close

00:14:48.140 to the level of,

00:14:50.620 let's say,

00:14:51.680 strategic intelligence

00:14:53.160 and execution

00:14:54.040 that Ramaswamy

00:14:57.000 is bringing to the thing.

00:14:58.360 Nobody's close.

00:14:59.660 He's just killing it.

00:15:00.620 The second best

00:15:02.160 is RFK Jr.,

00:15:03.200 who's actually

00:15:03.800 doing a good job as well.

00:15:05.820 Actually a great job.

00:15:07.480 I'm going to elevate

00:15:09.200 RFK Jr.

00:15:10.480 He and Vivek

00:15:12.300 are really standing out

00:15:14.500 in terms of how

00:15:15.560 to run a campaign

00:15:16.320 in an innovative way

00:15:18.400 that I think

00:15:18.920 will change campaigns forever.

00:15:21.700 Here's the other thing.

00:15:23.660 Vivek is running a campaign

00:15:25.420 that's changing

00:15:27.140 the real world.

00:15:29.100 Who did that before?

00:15:30.620 Anybody?

00:15:35.140 Vivek is actually

00:15:36.140 changing opinions

00:15:37.420 in the real world

00:15:39.300 about actual real topics

00:15:41.200 while he's running

00:15:42.820 for office.

00:15:43.800 He's changing opinions.

00:15:46.660 That is so next level.

00:15:48.900 You don't even expect

00:15:49.900 your candidate

00:15:50.480 to change the real world,

00:15:52.280 do you?

00:15:52.960 You don't expect,

00:15:53.940 you do not expect

00:15:54.680 the real world to change

00:15:56.200 because somebody's

00:15:57.200 running for office.

00:15:57.940 But he's actually

00:15:59.020 changing the real world.

00:16:00.540 One of the ways

00:16:01.140 he's changing it

00:16:01.900 is he's proven

00:16:02.620 there's a better way

00:16:03.280 to campaign.

00:16:04.480 He's already

00:16:05.220 completely changed

00:16:06.440 what people understand

00:16:08.220 about how a good

00:16:09.080 campaign would run.

00:16:10.940 If you keep ignoring

00:16:12.540 Vivek,

00:16:14.040 you're missing

00:16:14.760 one of the greatest

00:16:15.420 shows of all time.

00:16:17.440 he's found a way

00:16:20.280 to push into

00:16:21.280 the conversation

00:16:22.140 with no prior experience.

00:16:25.540 Only one person

00:16:26.440 has done that.

00:16:27.960 Trump.

00:16:29.020 And Trump,

00:16:29.640 you know,

00:16:29.880 Trump at least

00:16:30.380 was famous forever.

00:16:32.120 Right?

00:16:32.300 Vivek had a good book

00:16:34.380 and that was enough.

00:16:37.240 Like,

00:16:37.400 that's how much

00:16:37.840 game he has.

00:16:39.140 He managed to

00:16:40.120 push his way

00:16:40.880 into the top

00:16:41.500 of the conversation

00:16:42.320 from nowhere.

00:16:45.040 Just with skill.

00:16:47.280 Skill.

00:16:48.260 Just skill.

00:16:49.420 That's what it took.

00:16:51.760 Now,

00:16:52.420 part of it

00:16:52.900 is that

00:16:53.400 he's demonstrating

00:16:54.340 exactly what

00:16:55.400 he promotes.

00:16:56.620 So he's promoting

00:16:57.580 competence

00:17:00.440 above,

00:17:02.100 you know,

00:17:02.380 racial identity

00:17:03.140 and other identities.

00:17:04.740 That's his whole theme.

00:17:06.760 Don't you love

00:17:07.360 the fact that

00:17:07.860 he's demonstrating

00:17:08.660 it while he does it?

00:17:11.320 Right?

00:17:12.320 Like,

00:17:12.720 you've,

00:17:13.240 I don't know,

00:17:13.920 I don't know

00:17:14.300 if you've yet forgotten

00:17:15.420 the fact that

00:17:16.560 some would say

00:17:17.660 he's a person of color.

00:17:19.940 He's made it irrelevant.

00:17:21.840 Hasn't he?

00:17:22.780 The only thing

00:17:23.860 that his,

00:17:24.940 you know,

00:17:25.380 his ethnicity,

00:17:27.140 the only thing it is

00:17:28.040 is maybe a negative

00:17:28.920 if somebody

00:17:29.600 thinks they don't know

00:17:30.880 what a Hindu is.

00:17:32.340 And by the way,

00:17:32.960 let me remind you again,

00:17:34.380 if you're worried

00:17:35.640 about a Hindu,

00:17:36.760 you need to look into it.

00:17:38.480 That's not who you need

00:17:39.480 to be worried about.

00:17:40.860 Right?

00:17:41.360 You don't need

00:17:42.140 to be worried

00:17:42.600 about a Hindu.

00:17:44.420 I don't know

00:17:45.080 what you think

00:17:45.600 a Hindu is,

00:17:46.760 but just Google it.

00:17:48.400 You know,

00:17:48.560 do something.

00:17:50.160 There's not a lot

00:17:50.940 of big Hindu problems, 0.99

00:17:52.900 at least in the United States.

00:17:54.900 Right?

00:17:55.300 Yeah,

00:17:55.320 yeah,

00:17:56.620 it's a very,

00:17:57.120 it's a very respected

00:17:58.560 community.

00:18:01.360 So,

00:18:02.420 so that's interesting.

00:18:04.940 RFK Jr.

00:18:05.640 is suing Google

00:18:06.480 for censoring him.

00:18:08.500 I don't know

00:18:08.960 how you could win that.

00:18:10.500 That feels like

00:18:11.140 something you couldn't win.

00:18:12.620 But,

00:18:13.260 is it a good idea?

00:18:15.080 It's a great idea.

00:18:16.560 He's running for president.

00:18:17.700 It's a great idea.

00:18:18.860 Because win or lose,

00:18:20.160 he's now made me

00:18:20.960 pay attention

00:18:21.500 to the fact

00:18:22.120 that YouTube censored him.

00:18:23.500 Now,

00:18:24.720 I was kind of

00:18:25.100 vaguely aware of it,

00:18:26.700 but doesn't it help him

00:18:27.980 a lot to like

00:18:28.820 bring it to the front

00:18:29.580 of my mind?

00:18:30.360 Yeah.

00:18:31.200 This is good.

00:18:32.720 So,

00:18:33.400 RFK Jr.,

00:18:34.460 free,

00:18:34.940 free media,

00:18:36.220 doesn't matter

00:18:36.800 if he wins or lose,

00:18:37.860 it's the right,

00:18:38.380 it's the right play.

00:18:39.600 It just is the right play.

00:18:43.120 DeSantis and Newsom,

00:18:44.280 apparently it's going

00:18:45.040 to be real.

00:18:45.600 They're really going

00:18:46.020 to have a debate.

00:18:46.840 Hannity is going

00:18:47.540 to host it,

00:18:48.500 which is pretty baller

00:18:50.220 for Newsom,

00:18:50.840 I got to admit.

00:18:52.920 I got,

00:18:53.500 let me give Newsom

00:18:54.300 some credit.

00:18:55.920 He agreed

00:18:56.540 to a debate

00:18:57.660 hosted by Hannity.

00:19:01.820 You want to know

00:19:02.760 a little secret?

00:19:06.640 This is something

00:19:07.340 I learned a while ago,

00:19:08.360 I can't tell you

00:19:09.340 how I know,

00:19:10.300 but there are people

00:19:11.200 on the left

00:19:12.300 who really like Hannity

00:19:14.020 in person.

00:19:15.920 Did you know that?

00:19:17.840 That when,

00:19:18.720 you know,

00:19:18.940 if you're not talking

00:19:19.560 about the on-air

00:19:20.560 performances,

00:19:22.200 the Hannity's actually,

00:19:23.140 somebody that liberals

00:19:25.120 actually like in person.

00:19:26.900 He's kind of popular.

00:19:29.760 So,

00:19:30.520 it's not,

00:19:31.080 this isn't as weird

00:19:32.060 as you think.

00:19:33.200 It's not as weird

00:19:34.000 to have Hannity,

00:19:35.040 who you would imagine

00:19:35.860 would be,

00:19:36.940 you know,

00:19:37.180 a deep,

00:19:37.760 deep partisan in this,

00:19:39.880 but he's actually

00:19:41.100 more respected

00:19:41.900 by the left

00:19:42.580 than you think.

00:19:44.260 And I would be,

00:19:45.880 I'm very interested

00:19:46.740 to see if he can

00:19:47.480 pull this off.

00:19:48.220 if Hannity can pull 1.00

00:19:50.400 off a debate

00:19:51.640 where Hannity himself

00:19:53.820 does not become

00:19:54.660 the subject

00:19:55.180 of the conversation,

00:19:56.900 that would be

00:19:57.660 a tremendous

00:19:58.780 accomplishment.

00:20:01.920 If Hannity can pull 1.00

00:20:03.200 this off

00:20:03.780 and even the left

00:20:05.300 says,

00:20:06.140 okay,

00:20:07.060 you know,

00:20:07.560 that was just

00:20:08.020 a good debate.

00:20:09.000 I'm glad we saw it.

00:20:10.340 If he can pull that off,

00:20:11.440 it'll be one of the

00:20:12.000 greatest things

00:20:12.600 you've ever seen.

00:20:13.180 I don't think

00:20:15.500 he can,

00:20:16.540 honestly.

00:20:17.180 I'm going to bet

00:20:17.640 against it.

00:20:18.780 Because,

00:20:19.360 you know,

00:20:20.040 the left is too primed

00:20:21.300 to assume that

00:20:22.400 whatever he says

00:20:23.200 and anything he does

00:20:24.100 is going to look

00:20:24.980 partisan.

00:20:25.800 But if he could

00:20:26.700 pull it off

00:20:27.380 so that even the left

00:20:28.860 looked for something

00:20:30.480 to complain about

00:20:31.420 but they just

00:20:31.920 couldn't find it,

00:20:33.660 that would be

00:20:34.120 amazing.

00:20:35.240 That would be

00:20:35.600 amazing.

00:20:36.220 So I have a

00:20:37.680 very high opinion

00:20:38.680 of Hannity's

00:20:39.700 capabilities.

00:20:42.200 Really high.

00:20:43.180 He's one of those

00:20:43.920 talent stack guys

00:20:44.960 where,

00:20:46.060 you know,

00:20:46.240 if you look at

00:20:46.660 any one thing

00:20:47.540 that Hannity does, 0.99

00:20:49.180 you could think,

00:20:49.780 well,

00:20:49.960 I can think of

00:20:50.520 somebody who

00:20:50.900 could do that

00:20:51.380 better.

00:20:52.440 But try to find

00:20:53.120 somebody who can

00:20:53.720 do all of the

00:20:54.660 things that Hannity

00:20:55.380 can do at the

00:20:57.080 same time.

00:20:58.740 Good luck.

00:21:00.340 He's a pretty

00:21:01.400 unique individual.

00:21:02.580 And he did it

00:21:03.120 the old-fashioned way.

00:21:04.760 Took chances,

00:21:05.840 built up his

00:21:06.380 skill set,

00:21:07.780 collected a set

00:21:08.880 of skills that

00:21:09.480 work well together,

00:21:11.020 implemented them

00:21:11.780 in the right place,

00:21:12.560 worked hard,

00:21:13.180 perfect role

00:21:14.620 model in the

00:21:16.500 work sense.

00:21:18.080 You don't have to

00:21:18.780 agree with his

00:21:19.240 opinions.

00:21:19.840 That would be a

00:21:20.340 separate topic.

00:21:23.580 All right.

00:21:24.320 And I also like

00:21:25.320 the fact that

00:21:26.100 both Newsom and

00:21:27.400 DeSantis agreed to

00:21:28.480 this because what

00:21:29.800 it does is,

00:21:31.520 well,

00:21:32.280 I'm talking myself

00:21:33.120 out of it as I'm

00:21:33.880 talking.

00:21:34.660 But my first

00:21:35.600 thought was it

00:21:36.360 makes you think

00:21:36.980 past the sale.

00:21:37.740 The sale is,

00:21:41.120 can you see these

00:21:42.100 second-tier

00:21:42.920 candidates as

00:21:43.860 serious opponents,

00:21:45.720 like actually

00:21:46.360 running for the

00:21:46.980 top job?

00:21:48.180 And if you have

00:21:49.140 them debate,

00:21:50.060 your mind

00:21:50.700 automatically goes

00:21:51.800 to, oh,

00:21:52.280 that's a legitimate

00:21:53.520 competition.

00:21:55.760 If they had never

00:21:56.800 debated, it would be

00:21:57.780 easier to dismiss

00:21:58.760 them, assuming

00:22:00.140 Biden stays in

00:22:00.920 the race.

00:22:02.260 That is not

00:22:03.120 important.

00:22:03.500 But the mere

00:22:05.400 fact that they

00:22:06.000 would have their

00:22:06.460 own debate does

00:22:08.600 tell you a picture

00:22:09.360 of them being in

00:22:10.120 second place.

00:22:11.780 And that's

00:22:12.600 probably a story

00:22:13.320 that they're happy

00:22:14.040 with at the

00:22:14.500 moment.

00:22:15.500 I think DeSantis

00:22:16.240 would be completely

00:22:17.940 happy being the

00:22:19.580 solid second-place

00:22:20.920 choice because the

00:22:22.460 risk is that

00:22:23.060 something happens

00:22:23.700 with Trump legally

00:22:24.840 and he can't run

00:22:25.560 or something else.

00:22:27.800 You know,

00:22:28.040 there's also an

00:22:28.560 age risk.

00:22:31.300 So I'd say

00:22:32.180 that's all good.

00:22:32.840 I like everything

00:22:34.100 about, everything

00:22:35.400 from top to

00:22:36.320 bottom, I like

00:22:37.500 everything about

00:22:39.320 the DeSantis-

00:22:40.460 Newsom debate,

00:22:41.360 including Hannity

00:22:42.980 as the moderator.

00:22:44.900 Because you know

00:22:45.380 what, I'd rather

00:22:46.260 have somebody who

00:22:47.260 is well-known as

00:22:48.380 a, let's say,

00:22:49.780 a partisan, and

00:22:51.820 then they have to

00:22:52.460 work as hard as

00:22:53.140 they can to not

00:22:53.820 look like it in

00:22:54.580 public.

00:22:55.660 I like that.

00:22:56.840 Because if you

00:22:57.360 put in somebody

00:22:57.920 who's like

00:22:58.280 allegedly independent,

00:23:01.380 you know, let's

00:23:02.540 say you put in

00:23:03.260 Brett Baier.

00:23:05.760 Brett Baier, in

00:23:06.620 my opinion, is

00:23:07.800 actually wonderfully

00:23:09.580 nonpartisan.

00:23:11.660 I mean, he works

00:23:12.600 at an entity that

00:23:13.860 covers a certain

00:23:14.500 set of news, but

00:23:16.220 when he presents

00:23:16.980 it, he does a

00:23:17.900 really good job of

00:23:18.860 not being a

00:23:19.640 partisan.

00:23:20.320 But I think he

00:23:21.140 would be more of a

00:23:21.980 problem in this

00:23:22.720 case.

00:23:23.640 Because if you

00:23:24.320 have somebody whose

00:23:25.100 brand is nonpartisan,

00:23:27.860 everybody's going to

00:23:28.580 be debating his brand

00:23:29.940 and whether he

00:23:30.520 was really

00:23:30.900 nonpartisan.

00:23:32.320 But if you put

00:23:32.960 Hannity in there,

00:23:35.160 he's got the

00:23:35.740 highest bar of

00:23:36.660 all to look like

00:23:37.740 he's not favoring

00:23:38.920 one candidate.

00:23:40.600 And so you're

00:23:41.440 really going to

00:23:41.780 make him work for

00:23:42.540 it.

00:23:44.240 So it's

00:23:45.080 interesting.

00:23:45.720 We'll see.

00:23:46.820 Now, I think

00:23:47.320 it's unpredictable

00:23:50.260 how people will

00:23:51.500 regard it and how

00:23:52.860 it will turn out.

00:23:53.780 And it's very

00:23:54.280 unpredictable how

00:23:55.220 Hannity would do.

00:23:56.580 But there is a

00:23:57.360 possibility he could

00:23:58.180 nail it, because 1.00

00:23:59.280 he has the skill.

00:24:00.440 He does have the

00:24:01.140 skill to nail it.

00:24:03.320 All right.

00:24:06.800 Trump has famously

00:24:08.160 truthed, if you go

00:24:10.920 after me, I'm

00:24:11.880 coming after you.

00:24:13.760 I would think that

00:24:14.900 almost everybody

00:24:15.820 would interpret that

00:24:16.780 as talking about his

00:24:18.600 legal jeopardy at

00:24:19.780 the moment.

00:24:21.140 And that who he's

00:24:22.280 coming after would

00:24:23.180 be anybody who is

00:24:24.640 on the other side of

00:24:25.500 him in that.

00:24:26.480 So how do you

00:24:28.000 feel about that?

00:24:29.800 Do you think that,

00:24:30.680 well, of course, the

00:24:31.460 legal system already

00:24:32.620 warned him off and

00:24:33.760 said, hey, don't do

00:24:34.620 that.

00:24:34.880 You're trying to, you

00:24:36.100 know, this would bias

00:24:37.000 people and blah, blah,

00:24:38.420 blah.

00:24:39.140 So, of course, the

00:24:40.320 legal system is pushing

00:24:41.620 back on him.

00:24:43.520 But here's my take.

00:24:45.620 If this were a normal

00:24:47.080 criminal trial, then

00:24:49.340 having the person who's

00:24:50.540 the defendant threaten

00:24:52.460 the people who might be

00:24:53.580 trying to put him in

00:24:54.340 jail directly and

00:24:55.300 publicly, very, very

00:24:57.400 bad.

00:24:58.680 Very bad.

00:24:59.520 And I would certainly

00:25:00.200 want the judge to try

00:25:02.300 to, you know, tamp

00:25:04.120 that down as hard as

00:25:05.200 possible.

00:25:05.920 Very, very bad.

00:25:07.520 However, I don't think

00:25:09.260 there are any honest

00:25:11.280 observers who think

00:25:12.540 this is a criminal

00:25:13.400 trial.

00:25:14.740 Not honest ones.

00:25:16.200 I'll give you that

00:25:17.220 lots of you, there

00:25:18.160 might be people even

00:25:19.120 watching here who think

00:25:20.700 this is really about

00:25:21.620 crimes.

00:25:22.300 And if you do, I just

00:25:24.720 feel sorry for you.

00:25:26.300 You know, I just have

00:25:26.900 some empathy for what

00:25:28.700 has been done to you.

00:25:30.380 But if you're like

00:25:31.860 everybody else, you see

00:25:33.020 this as the people who

00:25:34.600 actually pay attention.

00:25:35.840 You see this as a purely

00:25:37.400 political act.

00:25:39.260 In the context of a

00:25:40.680 purely political act, I

00:25:42.080 do want as much

00:25:43.400 threatening as possible.

00:25:45.800 So I'm totally in favor of

00:25:48.000 Trump saying, if you come

00:25:49.940 for the king, and you

00:25:51.860 miss, I'm going to burn

00:25:53.140 you down.

00:25:54.420 That's exactly what I

00:25:55.640 want to hear.

00:25:56.260 That's the safest

00:25:56.980 situation.

00:25:58.300 I want the republic to

00:25:59.620 avoid all danger.

00:26:01.240 I want the republic to

00:26:02.280 have no violence.

00:26:03.160 I want the republic to

00:26:03.940 have no revolution.

00:26:05.740 I want the republic to

00:26:07.160 run the way the

00:26:08.560 citizens want it.

00:26:10.100 You know, educate

00:26:11.120 things, adjudicate

00:26:12.320 things, and give us

00:26:14.500 some results and let us

00:26:15.440 go on with our lives.

00:26:16.820 No violence.

00:26:17.540 How do you get no

00:26:19.840 violence?

00:26:21.760 Do you know why there's

00:26:22.560 no violence in my house?

00:26:24.640 Does anybody know why?

00:26:26.340 Because I'm capable of

00:26:27.640 violence.

00:26:29.000 That's right.

00:26:30.060 The reason that somebody

00:26:31.240 doesn't just kick down my

00:26:32.420 door and take my shit is 0.99

00:26:34.460 because I'd kill them.

00:26:36.460 That's why.

00:26:38.040 That's the only reason.

00:26:39.440 Is there another reason?

00:26:41.020 No, there is not.

00:26:41.920 There's not another reason.

00:26:43.820 Right.

00:26:45.000 The risk of male 1.00

00:26:46.960 violence is the only

00:26:47.960 thing that keeps

00:26:48.500 civilization together.

00:26:51.000 You know, Jordan

00:26:52.120 Peterson says it best.

00:26:53.500 So if you want to see

00:26:54.160 the smart version of

00:26:55.340 that argument, see his.

00:26:56.940 But civilization is

00:26:58.680 held together by males

00:27:00.920 entirely.

00:27:02.300 Women are not part of 1.00

00:27:03.120 the conversation.

00:27:04.600 By males putting up

00:27:06.360 incredible threats of

00:27:07.440 violence to each other.

00:27:09.520 And by the way, we all

00:27:10.600 see it.

00:27:11.920 So let me say it

00:27:12.920 directly.

00:27:14.060 Trump says if you go

00:27:15.140 after me, I'm coming

00:27:16.080 after you.

00:27:17.960 Ladies, sit it out. 1.00

00:27:20.880 You can sit this one

00:27:21.760 out.

00:27:23.020 This is not about the

00:27:24.200 women of America

00:27:24.940 anymore.

00:27:26.380 This is about the men

00:27:27.600 of America.

00:27:28.840 And Trump just put down

00:27:29.980 the, he put down the

00:27:31.660 fact.

00:27:32.860 I don't even call this

00:27:33.940 a threat.

00:27:35.140 This is a statement

00:27:36.180 of fact.

00:27:36.900 If this line is crossed

00:27:40.420 and Trump spends one

00:27:43.180 day in jail, let me

00:27:45.880 tell you, as a male

00:27:47.080 who lives in America,

00:27:49.240 all the rules are

00:27:50.180 gone.

00:27:52.200 That, that, all the

00:27:53.180 rules are gone.

00:27:54.520 One day in jail.

00:27:57.160 And every, every man

00:27:58.940 listening to it knows

00:27:59.840 what I'm saying.

00:28:01.100 Every woman listening to

00:28:02.440 it might know.

00:28:03.080 But you're not part

00:28:04.960 of the conversation.

00:28:07.080 You are not part

00:28:08.200 of the conversation.

00:28:09.660 This is pure

00:28:10.920 male

00:28:12.600 business.

00:28:14.900 Because it's the men

00:28:15.880 who are keeping things

00:28:17.040 from becoming violent

00:28:18.380 by being violent.

00:28:20.280 By being naturally

00:28:21.280 violent.

00:28:21.680 And this is where

00:28:24.060 the men

00:28:24.560 will take complete

00:28:26.300 control

00:28:26.860 of this situation.

00:28:28.980 You'll never know it.

00:28:30.080 You'll never know it.

00:28:32.840 But let me say as

00:28:33.840 clearly as possible.

00:28:35.820 If Trump is jailed

00:28:37.420 for what is obviously

00:28:38.440 just a political

00:28:39.780 act,

00:28:41.820 the rules

00:28:43.060 are gone.

00:28:45.200 So deal with that.

00:28:47.380 Again,

00:28:48.200 I do not promote

00:28:49.120 any kind of violence

00:28:50.020 against anybody

00:28:50.880 for any reason.

00:28:52.760 But if somebody else

00:28:53.920 takes all the rules

00:28:54.860 away,

00:28:55.960 I will play in the

00:28:56.960 new game as

00:28:57.840 vigorously as I can.

00:29:00.960 Right?

00:29:01.960 But no violence.

00:29:05.160 So I'm 100%

00:29:06.620 behind Trump

00:29:07.380 saying that

00:29:08.100 if they come for him

00:29:09.160 in a political trial

00:29:10.720 that there should be

00:29:12.460 no controls

00:29:13.200 on what he does

00:29:14.100 back to them.

00:29:15.400 If Trump were to win,

00:29:17.460 let's say he's in prison,

00:29:19.100 he wins anyway,

00:29:20.560 he pardons himself,

00:29:22.420 I would be completely

00:29:23.560 in favor of him

00:29:24.580 immediately jailing

00:29:25.860 every person

00:29:27.440 who was involved

00:29:28.100 in this.

00:29:28.500 And then let them

00:29:31.320 work it out

00:29:31.820 on their own.

00:29:32.360 Get some lawyers.

00:29:34.400 I mean,

00:29:34.740 whatever it takes.

00:29:36.340 I'd put every

00:29:37.180 fucking one of them

00:29:37.940 in jail.

00:29:38.800 Because you need

00:29:40.100 a credible,

00:29:42.380 mutually assured

00:29:43.320 destruction

00:29:44.020 to keep the

00:29:45.480 republic safe.

00:29:47.720 Right?

00:29:48.320 Everything I'm

00:29:49.040 talking about

00:29:49.540 is to avoid

00:29:50.880 war.

00:29:52.240 Is to avoid

00:29:53.080 civil war.

00:29:53.920 That's all I want.

00:29:54.880 I want to avoid

00:29:55.800 violence.

00:29:56.920 You can't do it

00:29:58.000 by being weak.

00:30:00.460 Everybody knows that.

00:30:02.180 Well,

00:30:02.560 maybe women 1.00

00:30:03.040 don't know it.

00:30:04.040 Men know it.

00:30:05.540 Right?

00:30:06.200 Can I get a vote?

00:30:07.300 Every man knows

00:30:08.140 you don't be safe

00:30:09.780 by being nonviolent.

00:30:13.020 That is not

00:30:13.920 the path to safety.

00:30:15.580 100% of men

00:30:16.860 understand that

00:30:17.780 in their DNA.

00:30:20.120 Right?

00:30:20.360 It's not an

00:30:21.340 intellectual argument.

00:30:23.520 There's no

00:30:24.100 thinking involved.

00:30:26.340 Trust us.

00:30:27.660 Trust the men.

00:30:29.780 You need

00:30:30.660 violence

00:30:31.260 to be safe.

00:30:33.760 That's it.

00:30:34.880 There's no

00:30:35.340 argument to that.

00:30:37.120 So,

00:30:38.400 Trump has

00:30:39.200 gone

00:30:40.440 as he does.

00:30:42.520 He's gone

00:30:43.200 through the

00:30:43.780 bullshit.

00:30:44.560 And the

00:30:44.940 bullshit is

00:30:45.700 did he do

00:30:46.160 a crime?

00:30:47.800 That really

00:30:48.600 is just

00:30:48.960 bullshit.

00:30:51.000 Right?

00:30:52.040 What matters

00:30:52.800 is how you're

00:30:53.320 going to feel

00:30:53.720 about it.

00:30:55.420 How you're

00:30:55.780 going to feel

00:30:56.240 about it.

00:30:56.980 And he just

00:30:57.460 told you how

00:30:57.960 he feels

00:30:58.400 about it.

00:30:59.760 So,

00:31:00.340 there you go.

00:31:02.520 So,

00:31:03.040 this is the

00:31:03.460 very definition

00:31:04.020 of too far.

00:31:05.400 And as a

00:31:06.420 public service,

00:31:07.700 give me a

00:31:08.720 little sanity

00:31:10.200 check here.

00:31:12.200 Do you agree

00:31:13.080 with the

00:31:13.440 statement

00:31:13.820 that it

00:31:16.080 keeps the

00:31:17.380 country safe

00:31:18.160 to be as

00:31:19.280 clear as

00:31:19.880 possible

00:31:20.340 about where

00:31:20.940 the boundaries

00:31:21.840 are?

00:31:23.460 Do you

00:31:24.020 agree?

00:31:24.960 This is a

00:31:25.780 boundary

00:31:26.120 question.

00:31:27.780 Right?

00:31:28.060 Putting

00:31:28.280 Trump in

00:31:29.380 jail on a

00:31:30.080 political

00:31:30.480 charge,

00:31:31.560 even if you

00:31:32.400 can make

00:31:32.820 your little

00:31:33.200 argument,

00:31:34.740 your little

00:31:35.260 argument won't

00:31:35.820 have any

00:31:36.340 impact on

00:31:37.020 anything.

00:31:38.120 We don't

00:31:38.600 even want

00:31:38.940 to hear

00:31:39.140 your legal

00:31:39.900 argument.

00:31:41.600 Do you

00:31:42.120 think I

00:31:42.440 would care

00:31:42.880 if the

00:31:44.580 court had a

00:31:45.300 good argument?

00:31:46.340 No.

00:31:46.940 No,

00:31:47.200 that's not

00:31:47.700 in any

00:31:48.740 part of

00:31:49.020 my

00:31:49.160 thinking.

00:31:50.620 This is

00:31:51.820 about a

00:31:52.400 boundary,

00:31:53.440 and this

00:31:54.100 is a

00:31:54.420 solid

00:31:54.660 boundary.

00:31:57.160 If you

00:31:58.380 pass this

00:31:58.960 boundary,

00:31:59.860 there are

00:32:00.540 no rules.

00:32:02.420 You don't

00:32:02.840 want to live

00:32:03.200 in that

00:32:03.460 world,

00:32:04.160 because you

00:32:05.100 know how

00:32:05.380 that goes.

00:32:07.840 All right.

00:32:09.800 You got a

00:32:10.320 little quiet

00:32:10.780 there,

00:32:11.040 didn't you?

00:32:11.340 Meanwhile,

00:32:13.460 in the

00:32:13.800 absurdity

00:32:14.660 Olympics,

00:32:16.040 we've got

00:32:16.400 Secretary

00:32:16.960 Antony

00:32:17.460 Blinken,

00:32:18.100 who said

00:32:18.740 this fucking 0.89

00:32:19.360 thing.

00:32:20.440 Just imagine

00:32:21.280 this.

00:32:22.240 This is our

00:32:22.840 government.

00:32:23.360 This is a

00:32:23.780 Democrat.

00:32:25.580 What's he,

00:32:26.160 Secretary of

00:32:26.980 State,

00:32:27.480 right?

00:32:28.140 The United

00:32:28.720 States strongly

00:32:29.480 condemns Russia's 0.98

00:32:30.640 conviction of

00:32:31.440 opposition leader

00:32:32.720 Alexei Navalny

00:32:34.440 on politically

00:32:35.580 motivated

00:32:36.580 charges.

00:32:37.400 The Kremlin

00:32:39.780 cannot silence

00:32:41.640 the truth.

00:32:43.360 Navalny

00:32:43.880 should be

00:32:44.400 released.

00:32:47.160 He's actually

00:32:48.080 saying this at

00:32:48.900 the same time

00:32:49.560 that his party

00:32:50.220 is trying to

00:32:50.780 jail Trump on

00:32:51.580 political charges.

00:32:53.480 This is actually

00:32:54.620 happening.

00:32:56.820 This is a

00:32:57.920 real thing

00:32:58.580 that's happening

00:32:59.320 at the same

00:33:00.040 time.

00:33:01.360 This fucking

00:33:02.220 idiot is

00:33:03.480 tweeting this

00:33:04.100 at the same

00:33:04.600 time he's

00:33:05.060 insulting the

00:33:06.660 citizens of

00:33:07.260 the United

00:33:07.560 States by

00:33:08.120 doing the

00:33:08.660 same thing.

00:33:10.200 He's just

00:33:10.980 fucking doing

00:33:11.640 the same

00:33:12.080 thing.

00:33:14.120 Amazing.

00:33:15.900 All right,

00:33:16.440 we'll talk

00:33:16.740 about this a

00:33:17.180 little bit

00:33:17.440 more,

00:33:17.820 but in

00:33:18.440 other news,

00:33:19.440 there's a

00:33:20.080 new pill

00:33:20.520 for postpartum

00:33:21.560 depression.

00:33:24.560 Do you

00:33:25.160 think it

00:33:25.500 works?

00:33:27.860 That's the

00:33:28.460 whole story.

00:33:29.060 There's a

00:33:29.360 new pill

00:33:29.760 for postpartum

00:33:30.680 depression.

00:33:32.200 I say no.

00:33:34.300 Do you

00:33:34.660 know why?

00:33:35.480 Because I

00:33:36.000 don't believe

00:33:36.380 anything.

00:33:37.260 If it's

00:33:39.100 in the

00:33:39.400 news,

00:33:39.740 I just

00:33:40.020 assume it's

00:33:40.560 bullshit.

00:33:42.620 Because the

00:33:43.800 place you go

00:33:44.440 to find lies

00:33:45.200 is the

00:33:45.620 news.

00:33:47.160 I don't

00:33:47.660 believe any

00:33:48.860 medical claim

00:33:50.000 anymore.

00:33:51.500 Literally.

00:33:52.660 Well, I

00:33:53.280 believe that

00:33:53.820 smoking cigarettes

00:33:54.800 causes cancer.

00:33:56.260 But I guess

00:33:57.200 I'm going too

00:33:57.680 far.

00:33:58.340 I don't

00:33:58.940 believe any

00:33:59.320 new medical

00:33:59.960 claim.

00:34:00.340 I don't

00:34:02.940 care who

00:34:03.460 says it.

00:34:04.640 I don't

00:34:04.980 care what

00:34:05.460 the source

00:34:05.840 is.

00:34:06.120 I don't

00:34:06.320 care how

00:34:06.660 they studied

00:34:07.080 it.

00:34:07.340 I don't

00:34:07.560 care if

00:34:07.860 it's a

00:34:08.060 randomized

00:34:08.300 controlled

00:34:08.780 trial.

00:34:10.120 I don't

00:34:10.460 care.

00:34:10.980 I just

00:34:11.500 literally do

00:34:12.220 not believe

00:34:12.680 any medical

00:34:13.280 news.

00:34:15.560 Would I

00:34:16.220 ever be

00:34:16.600 wrong about

00:34:17.140 that?

00:34:17.540 Yes.

00:34:17.920 Yes.

00:34:19.080 Yes.

00:34:20.640 But I

00:34:21.680 didn't get

00:34:22.080 myself to

00:34:22.620 this point.

00:34:23.760 Like, I

00:34:24.120 didn't talk

00:34:24.560 myself into

00:34:25.240 this.

00:34:25.620 this was

00:34:27.680 the outside

00:34:28.200 world beating

00:34:29.900 the shit

00:34:30.520 out of me

00:34:30.980 until I

00:34:31.460 stopped believing

00:34:32.100 things that

00:34:33.640 I shouldn't

00:34:34.040 have believed

00:34:34.340 in the first

00:34:34.780 place.

00:34:36.120 So I

00:34:36.840 hate to

00:34:37.180 say it,

00:34:38.320 but I

00:34:39.700 would never

00:34:40.080 give anybody

00:34:40.680 a new pill

00:34:41.280 for anything.

00:34:43.600 Just for

00:34:44.180 anything.

00:34:46.440 Now, by

00:34:47.100 the way,

00:34:47.640 I'd like you

00:34:48.420 all to

00:34:48.980 follow along

00:34:51.320 as I

00:34:51.780 probably kill

00:34:52.640 myself by

00:34:54.240 ignoring

00:34:56.180 medical

00:34:56.620 advice.

00:34:57.760 I am

00:34:58.440 currently

00:34:58.880 ignoring

00:34:59.440 medical

00:34:59.880 advice in

00:35:00.920 a very

00:35:01.580 aggressive

00:35:02.840 way.

00:35:04.220 So I

00:35:04.900 stopped

00:35:05.160 taking

00:35:05.640 blood

00:35:06.260 pressure

00:35:06.600 medications

00:35:07.280 because I

00:35:09.400 don't believe

00:35:09.840 them.

00:35:10.940 I don't

00:35:11.680 believe it's

00:35:12.100 real.

00:35:13.380 Now, do

00:35:13.840 not take

00:35:15.260 medical

00:35:15.660 advice from

00:35:16.260 me.

00:35:17.420 You should

00:35:17.940 make up your

00:35:18.980 own mind,

00:35:19.600 talk to your

00:35:20.020 doctor.

00:35:21.340 Maybe you

00:35:21.980 belong on

00:35:22.520 blood pressure

00:35:23.020 medications.

00:35:24.240 I'm just

00:35:24.660 telling you

00:35:25.160 that I

00:35:25.980 can find

00:35:26.500 no source

00:35:27.180 of information

00:35:27.840 I would

00:35:28.280 trust,

00:35:29.220 and I'm

00:35:29.500 not even

00:35:29.840 going to

00:35:30.100 look.

00:35:30.920 I'm not

00:35:31.240 even going

00:35:31.540 to look

00:35:31.860 because I

00:35:32.300 know there's

00:35:32.700 no source

00:35:33.160 I would

00:35:33.420 trust.

00:35:34.080 Of course

00:35:34.620 there's

00:35:34.940 going to

00:35:35.120 be tests

00:35:35.600 that say

00:35:35.980 it works.

00:35:37.060 Of course

00:35:37.460 there are.

00:35:39.220 What's that

00:35:39.720 tell me?

00:35:40.620 Nothing.

00:35:42.140 In 2023,

00:35:43.660 there's a

00:35:44.400 whole bunch

00:35:44.800 of science

00:35:45.320 that says

00:35:45.760 these pills

00:35:46.320 will keep

00:35:46.780 you alive.

00:35:47.620 That doesn't

00:35:48.020 mean anything.

00:35:49.300 I wish

00:35:49.840 it did.

00:35:51.040 I would

00:35:51.560 love to

00:35:51.900 tell you,

00:35:52.820 oh, I

00:35:53.260 know I'm

00:35:53.640 being a

00:35:54.000 science

00:35:54.340 denier

00:35:54.800 now, but

00:35:56.160 I'm probably

00:35:56.720 killing some

00:35:57.660 of you.

00:35:58.800 I mean,

00:35:59.140 literally, I'm

00:35:59.640 probably killing

00:36:00.260 several of

00:36:00.820 you right

00:36:01.120 now, because

00:36:02.180 there's somebody

00:36:02.600 out there who's

00:36:03.100 going to say,

00:36:03.440 you know, he's

00:36:03.940 making a good

00:36:04.440 point.

00:36:05.180 I'll throw

00:36:05.640 away my

00:36:06.040 blood pressure

00:36:06.520 medicine, then

00:36:07.100 I'll die.

00:36:07.900 Don't do

00:36:08.420 what I'm

00:36:08.740 doing.

00:36:09.800 This is not

00:36:10.540 a conversation

00:36:11.160 about medicine.

00:36:13.000 I'm telling

00:36:13.420 you my state

00:36:14.060 of mind,

00:36:15.080 right?

00:36:15.340 So you

00:36:16.300 should not

00:36:16.720 adopt my

00:36:17.440 state of

00:36:17.900 mind, and

00:36:18.920 you should

00:36:19.140 make your

00:36:19.480 own medical

00:36:19.920 decisions.

00:36:20.820 Do not

00:36:21.420 discontinue any

00:36:22.480 medications because

00:36:23.280 you heard the

00:36:23.860 cartoonist say

00:36:24.480 so, okay?

00:36:27.220 Although I

00:36:27.900 think I already

00:36:28.360 went too far

00:36:28.960 on that.

00:36:30.400 Sometimes I

00:36:31.160 forget how

00:36:31.700 persuasive I

00:36:32.500 can be.

00:36:33.500 Don't stop

00:36:34.200 taking your

00:36:34.740 medications because

00:36:35.600 you heard me

00:36:36.180 say it, okay?

00:36:37.540 Please, please

00:36:38.920 don't stop your

00:36:39.760 medications.

00:36:41.620 Please don't do

00:36:42.720 that.

00:36:43.060 I don't

00:36:44.260 want to kill

00:36:44.660 anybody today.

00:36:46.000 It's only a

00:36:47.000 conversation about

00:36:47.760 my state of

00:36:48.440 mind, okay?

00:36:52.200 All right.

00:36:55.820 Greg

00:36:56.360 Gottfeld had

00:36:57.000 a great take

00:36:58.820 on how all

00:36:59.580 of our

00:36:59.920 institutions are

00:37:01.100 corrupt, except

00:37:03.580 the elections.

00:37:05.340 Everything in

00:37:06.020 the world from

00:37:06.580 the Department

00:37:07.140 of Justice to

00:37:08.080 the financial

00:37:09.240 world to the

00:37:10.140 political world,

00:37:11.480 it's all proven

00:37:12.760 to be corrupt,

00:37:13.620 but those

00:37:14.220 elections are

00:37:14.860 good.

00:37:17.120 He, of

00:37:17.720 course, got

00:37:18.120 some pushback

00:37:18.800 on that, and

00:37:20.800 so I thought

00:37:21.520 I'd back him a

00:37:22.160 little bit on

00:37:22.640 that, so I

00:37:23.160 tweeted that

00:37:24.540 uncertainty is

00:37:25.380 the only smart

00:37:26.200 take when

00:37:27.820 every other

00:37:28.420 American system

00:37:29.460 has been

00:37:29.980 demonstrated to

00:37:30.800 be corrupt.

00:37:33.040 In my opinion,

00:37:34.180 the people who

00:37:34.640 say the election

00:37:35.220 was rigged and

00:37:36.120 the people who

00:37:36.620 say the election

00:37:37.220 was not rigged

00:37:37.960 are the same

00:37:38.400 people.

00:37:39.980 To me, they

00:37:40.580 look the same.

00:37:41.160 It's two

00:37:42.240 people who

00:37:42.700 have certainty

00:37:43.320 in a domain

00:37:44.440 in which

00:37:44.820 certainty is

00:37:45.480 absurd.

00:37:46.700 It's absurd

00:37:47.460 to be certain

00:37:48.060 it was true.

00:37:49.140 It's absurd

00:37:49.760 to say that

00:37:50.320 you know it

00:37:50.740 was fixed,

00:37:51.880 unless you

00:37:52.880 have some

00:37:53.200 evidence I

00:37:53.720 haven't seen.

00:37:54.720 And it's

00:37:55.100 absurd to

00:37:56.180 say that it

00:37:56.620 wasn't.

00:37:57.480 How would

00:37:57.820 we know?

00:37:59.220 So the two

00:38:00.060 ridiculous opinions

00:38:01.280 are that it

00:38:02.180 was rigged or

00:38:02.920 that it

00:38:03.200 wasn't.

00:38:03.800 Those are

00:38:04.140 ridiculous

00:38:04.620 opinions.

00:38:06.280 And by the

00:38:07.780 way, the 81

00:38:08.380 million votes

00:38:09.040 part is the

00:38:09.660 worst part of

00:38:10.180 the argument.

00:38:11.300 Let me stop.

00:38:12.800 It embarrasses

00:38:13.580 me when I

00:38:14.040 hear that,

00:38:14.780 honestly.

00:38:16.060 Kind of

00:38:16.380 embarrasses me

00:38:17.140 to be kind

00:38:17.900 of associated

00:38:18.500 with that

00:38:18.900 argument.

00:38:20.260 The 81

00:38:20.900 million can

00:38:21.580 be explained

00:38:22.200 entirely by

00:38:23.960 the fact that

00:38:25.040 eight years

00:38:26.140 had passed,

00:38:26.900 or a number

00:38:27.840 of years had

00:38:28.300 passed, the

00:38:29.160 population is

00:38:29.960 larger, and

00:38:31.520 the candidate

00:38:32.580 running was

00:38:33.180 Trump, and

00:38:34.440 the news had

00:38:35.100 an unprecedented

00:38:36.000 opinion on

00:38:37.880 Trump.

00:38:38.200 Trump, every

00:38:39.400 indicator suggests

00:38:40.460 that it should

00:38:41.060 have been record

00:38:41.600 voting.

00:38:42.920 Every indicator

00:38:43.760 suggests it

00:38:44.380 should have

00:38:44.780 been record

00:38:45.200 voting, and

00:38:46.380 we got record

00:38:46.940 voting.

00:38:47.820 That is the

00:38:48.640 weakest argument

00:38:49.400 for a fraud.

00:38:51.360 By far, that's

00:38:52.260 the weakest.

00:38:53.220 That one is just

00:38:54.120 embarrassing,

00:38:54.900 honestly.

00:38:56.020 Now, I get

00:38:56.560 that it's sort of

00:38:57.280 the bumper sticker

00:38:58.100 view, and keep

00:38:59.960 in mind, I'm not

00:39:00.680 saying the

00:39:01.060 election was

00:39:01.700 fair.

00:39:03.320 I'm also not

00:39:04.040 saying it was

00:39:04.520 unfair.

00:39:05.680 I'm saying the

00:39:06.260 81 million is

00:39:07.180 the weakest

00:39:07.880 argument for

00:39:09.560 evidence it

00:39:10.200 was unfair.

00:39:11.880 The second

00:39:12.440 weakest argument

00:39:13.260 is that the

00:39:14.600 votes switched

00:39:15.520 from Trump

00:39:16.900 being ahead to

00:39:18.180 Democrats being

00:39:19.160 ahead, completely

00:39:20.560 explained by the

00:39:21.780 fact that

00:39:22.340 Republicans vote

00:39:23.440 in person, and

00:39:24.720 then ballots from

00:39:26.260 Democrats come in 0.62

00:39:27.160 later.

00:39:28.340 Now, I don't

00:39:29.180 know if that's

00:39:29.700 true, but it

00:39:31.720 is an

00:39:32.320 explanation which

00:39:33.260 fits the facts.

00:39:35.320 So, your

00:39:36.080 weakest argument

00:39:36.940 is that there

00:39:39.100 was a sudden

00:39:39.620 change in the

00:39:40.260 voting.

00:39:40.880 That's really

00:39:41.560 weak.

00:39:42.740 And the other

00:39:43.220 one is that a

00:39:44.020 lot of people

00:39:44.480 voted in the

00:39:45.520 most controversial

00:39:46.360 election of all

00:39:47.760 time.

00:39:48.440 Of course a lot

00:39:49.460 of people voted.

00:39:51.060 If it wasn't a

00:39:52.080 record, that would

00:39:52.820 have been the

00:39:53.180 strange thing.

00:39:54.320 Wouldn't it be

00:39:54.760 more strange if

00:39:55.720 it wasn't a

00:39:56.300 record?

00:39:58.160 Right?

00:39:58.720 So, and let

00:40:01.140 me say again,

00:40:01.720 as clearly as

00:40:02.420 possible.

00:40:04.820 Is it possible

00:40:05.820 that the 81

00:40:06.580 million is a

00:40:07.420 fraudulent

00:40:07.880 number?

00:40:09.600 Yeah, absolutely.

00:40:10.820 How would I

00:40:11.280 know?

00:40:12.020 Absolutely.

00:40:13.040 It's possible.

00:40:14.700 Is it a strong

00:40:16.060 indication that it

00:40:17.020 was rigged because

00:40:17.840 of the 81

00:40:18.420 million?

00:40:18.880 No, that's a

00:40:19.520 terrible, terrible

00:40:20.220 argument.

00:40:21.580 I think you

00:40:22.480 could only have

00:40:22.940 that argument if

00:40:23.620 you're really

00:40:24.080 locked in the

00:40:24.700 bubble.

00:40:25.700 If you spend a

00:40:26.740 minute outside the

00:40:27.520 bubble, that falls

00:40:28.400 apart right away.

00:40:29.180 Now, again, I

00:40:31.400 do think there

00:40:33.100 are arguments

00:40:33.860 about the

00:40:34.540 election that

00:40:35.420 might be strong.

00:40:36.980 Might be.

00:40:38.680 You know, I'd

00:40:39.860 have to look into

00:40:40.520 them.

00:40:41.440 There might be.

00:40:42.540 But it's not

00:40:43.040 those two.

00:40:44.100 You actually hurt

00:40:44.980 yourself when you

00:40:45.780 make either of

00:40:46.340 those claims.

00:40:47.600 Because if you

00:40:48.500 make those claims

00:40:49.220 outside the

00:40:49.880 bubble, the

00:40:51.340 people outside the

00:40:52.520 bubble know that

00:40:53.100 those are the

00:40:53.520 weakest claims.

00:40:54.280 So if you

00:40:56.340 want to make

00:40:57.200 the people

00:40:57.660 outside the

00:40:58.480 bubble agree

00:40:59.220 with you, don't

00:41:00.160 use those.

00:41:01.880 Those are only

00:41:02.700 inside the

00:41:03.300 bubble, hey, I

00:41:04.820 agree with your

00:41:05.420 bumper sticker kind

00:41:06.320 of thing.

00:41:07.500 I actually laugh

00:41:08.660 when I see the

00:41:09.240 81 million stuff.

00:41:10.600 When the 81

00:41:11.220 million is in a

00:41:11.940 meme, I think

00:41:12.800 it's great.

00:41:13.700 I laugh.

00:41:15.000 But don't take

00:41:15.760 that seriously.

00:41:17.200 It was the most

00:41:18.380 controversial election.

00:41:19.460 Of course, the

00:41:20.540 numbers were

00:41:21.020 through the roof.

00:41:21.600 Some of them

00:41:24.060 might have been

00:41:24.420 fake.

00:41:25.100 I don't know.

00:41:26.360 Who knows?

00:41:27.480 So anyway, here's

00:41:28.960 what I said.

00:41:31.100 I said that

00:41:31.900 Gottfeld found

00:41:32.540 the high ground

00:41:33.760 here.

00:41:34.980 And now, in

00:41:35.660 theory, what

00:41:36.160 happens if you

00:41:36.920 have two arguments

00:41:37.880 that are

00:41:39.180 irrational, and

00:41:41.100 then somebody

00:41:41.660 gives you the

00:41:42.300 rational argument?

00:41:44.260 What happens to

00:41:45.040 the people who

00:41:45.520 have the

00:41:45.860 irrational takes?

00:41:47.440 So the

00:41:47.860 irrational ones

00:41:48.660 are that you

00:41:49.060 know there was

00:41:50.900 no fraud.

00:41:51.600 or also that

00:41:52.820 you know there

00:41:53.500 was.

00:41:56.280 Cognitive

00:41:56.920 dissonance,

00:41:57.400 right?

00:41:57.760 So the

00:41:58.140 predictable outcome

00:41:58.960 should be

00:41:59.340 cognitive dissonance.

00:42:00.600 So this is one

00:42:01.400 of those places

00:42:02.160 in nature where

00:42:03.560 you get to

00:42:04.360 learn what

00:42:04.840 cognitive dissonance

00:42:05.880 looks like.

00:42:08.440 So here's an

00:42:10.020 example.

00:42:12.260 Somebody tweeted

00:42:13.540 immediately after

00:42:14.560 Greg's tweet,

00:42:16.200 it's unprovable,

00:42:17.860 all in caps,

00:42:18.640 unprovable.

00:42:19.540 So the

00:42:20.540 burden of

00:42:21.000 proof is on

00:42:21.620 you, Greg.

00:42:23.500 In other words,

00:42:24.860 somebody saying,

00:42:25.900 oh, nice try,

00:42:27.280 you election

00:42:27.800 denier, but

00:42:29.180 it's unprovable

00:42:30.240 that the

00:42:31.880 burden of

00:42:35.400 proof has to

00:42:35.920 be on you.

00:42:36.860 Now, is that

00:42:37.440 cognitive dissonance?

00:42:40.220 Yes, it is.

00:42:42.280 Because it's not

00:42:43.320 even on the

00:42:43.840 same topic.

00:42:44.380 This is

00:42:45.860 somebody who

00:42:46.340 had to

00:42:46.680 imagine that

00:42:48.080 Greg said the

00:42:48.980 election was

00:42:49.800 rigged.

00:42:50.340 He didn't say

00:42:50.840 that.

00:42:51.620 He's never

00:42:51.980 said that.

00:42:53.160 Have you ever

00:42:53.820 heard him say

00:42:54.320 that?

00:42:55.260 Nope.

00:42:56.280 Not once.

00:42:57.900 Not once.

00:42:59.340 Never said it.

00:43:01.060 In fact, he said

00:43:02.180 literally the

00:43:02.760 opposite.

00:43:03.700 He said there's

00:43:04.260 no way to know

00:43:04.940 either way.

00:43:06.760 Right?

00:43:07.160 And the very

00:43:07.860 first comment,

00:43:09.160 it's unprovable,

00:43:10.460 so the burden of

00:43:11.160 proof is on you.

00:43:12.660 In other words,

00:43:13.380 somebody imagined

00:43:14.280 they saw an

00:43:14.860 election denier, 0.53

00:43:16.460 and that was

00:43:16.840 the opposite of

00:43:17.460 what they saw.

00:43:19.520 Right?

00:43:20.200 So if you look

00:43:20.840 at the other

00:43:21.160 comments, if you

00:43:21.940 want to learn

00:43:22.300 what cognitive

00:43:23.000 dissonance looks

00:43:23.840 like, this is a

00:43:25.020 perfect one.

00:43:26.060 Because there is

00:43:26.660 no argument with,

00:43:28.240 I mean, there's

00:43:28.640 no rational

00:43:29.200 argument with,

00:43:30.800 we can't know.

00:43:32.660 There's no rational

00:43:33.620 person who argues

00:43:34.640 that point.

00:43:35.880 It's only irrational

00:43:37.060 people who are

00:43:37.600 going to debate

00:43:38.040 that.

00:43:39.880 All right.

00:43:42.000 Elon Musk, not

00:43:44.580 too happy with

00:43:45.220 the New York

00:43:45.600 Times today.

00:43:47.060 You know the

00:43:47.600 story about the

00:43:48.880 political party in

00:43:50.440 South Africa that

00:43:52.100 was chanting or

00:43:53.580 singing the song

00:43:54.460 Kill the Boar,

00:43:56.060 which apparently

00:43:56.800 is, you know,

00:43:57.840 the boars are the

00:43:58.500 white people.

00:43:59.680 And so the news

00:44:00.780 about that was,

00:44:03.040 oh no, these

00:44:03.820 racists are saying

00:44:04.940 kill the white 0.99

00:44:05.500 people.

00:44:06.480 This should be

00:44:07.020 stopped.

00:44:07.820 Well, as Elon

00:44:08.840 Musk points out,

00:44:09.620 the New York

00:44:10.820 Times decided to

00:44:12.340 back the people

00:44:13.260 who were chanting

00:44:14.220 Kill the White 0.90

00:44:15.040 People.

00:44:16.980 Seriously.

00:44:20.140 Seriously.

00:44:22.740 And their

00:44:23.460 explanation is

00:44:24.360 that it's really

00:44:25.060 just a, it's an

00:44:26.360 old anti-apartheid

00:44:29.400 chant, and of

00:44:30.020 course you don't

00:44:30.840 like apartheid, 0.55

00:44:32.040 right?

00:44:32.620 Nobody likes

00:44:33.380 apartheid, so you

00:44:35.000 would consider

00:44:35.620 yourself anti-apartheid

00:44:37.280 just like them.

00:44:38.180 So they are just

00:44:39.760 you, basically.

00:44:40.600 They're anti-apartheid, 0.85

00:44:41.940 you're anti-apartheid,

00:44:43.260 they have a song,

00:44:45.600 it's just an

00:44:46.300 anti-apartheid song,

00:44:47.440 Kill the White 0.90

00:44:47.880 People.

00:44:49.020 So I think you

00:44:50.660 should be way

00:44:51.140 less excited or

00:44:52.360 concerned that in

00:44:54.500 the context of

00:44:55.540 them actually,

00:44:57.080 them, at least in

00:44:58.060 the country, a lot

00:44:59.520 of white people

00:45:00.040 being killed for

00:45:01.160 being white, that 0.83

00:45:02.900 there would be

00:45:03.660 somebody who's a

00:45:04.880 major political

00:45:05.600 party, all black,

00:45:07.620 it looks like,

00:45:08.380 from the pictures,

00:45:09.680 chanting, kill the 0.97

00:45:10.920 white people, the 0.88

00:45:11.860 boars.

00:45:13.420 And so the

00:45:14.340 New York Times

00:45:15.580 decided to side

00:45:16.720 with the people

00:45:18.060 chanting, kill the 0.97

00:45:19.020 white people.

00:45:20.600 And when I say

00:45:21.620 side with them, I

00:45:22.380 mean, just

00:45:23.040 described it as

00:45:23.860 not a big deal,

00:45:24.920 it's just an old

00:45:25.620 song.

00:45:26.640 Don't worry about

00:45:27.460 the old song.

00:45:29.000 Yeah.

00:45:30.140 Yeah.

00:45:30.580 I wonder if they

00:45:31.220 say the same about

00:45:32.060 the, I'm not going

00:45:33.540 to go there,

00:45:33.960 third rail, foot,

00:45:39.140 third rail.

00:45:40.600 Let's keep it off

00:45:41.560 at the moment.

00:45:43.720 So Musk says,

00:45:45.880 Musk tweets, the

00:45:46.880 New York Times

00:45:47.460 actually has the

00:45:48.240 nerve to support

00:45:49.580 calls for genocide.

00:45:52.180 If ever there was a

00:45:53.320 time to cancel that

00:45:54.200 publication, it is

00:45:55.260 now.

00:45:56.100 And then he says,

00:45:56.840 you can read their

00:45:57.720 articles for free

00:45:58.600 anyway.

00:45:59.020 and he gives

00:45:59.960 the, he gives

00:46:01.840 the remove

00:46:02.540 paywall.com

00:46:03.780 URL.

00:46:08.320 By the way, I

00:46:09.020 didn't know about

00:46:09.500 that.

00:46:10.120 So you can read

00:46:10.820 the New York

00:46:11.300 Times for free,

00:46:12.360 I guess.

00:46:14.800 And I plan to do

00:46:15.980 just that if I ever

00:46:17.060 have to look at

00:46:17.740 that rag.

00:46:19.220 So I thought I'd

00:46:20.640 run a poll since

00:46:22.360 it would seem that

00:46:23.020 the New York

00:46:23.380 Times is siding

00:46:25.400 aggressively with

00:46:26.380 racists, murderous

00:46:28.100 racists.

00:46:29.020 That's what it

00:46:29.700 seems like.

00:46:31.000 I thought, I

00:46:32.240 wonder how other

00:46:32.940 people think.

00:46:33.500 So I ran a little

00:46:34.040 poll on Twitter and

00:46:35.440 I asked this

00:46:35.980 question, who is

00:46:36.900 more racist, the

00:46:38.340 New York Times or

00:46:39.200 me?

00:46:41.580 And as you know,

00:46:43.400 I'm one of the

00:46:43.940 most famous racists

00:46:44.880 there is.

00:46:46.060 It's true.

00:46:46.720 Do you know why

00:46:47.040 it's true?

00:46:48.360 The New York

00:46:48.820 Times said so.

00:46:50.220 Yeah.

00:46:50.640 Yeah, the New York

00:46:51.240 Times said so.

00:46:52.360 So it's got to be

00:46:52.920 true, right?

00:46:53.600 The Washington

00:46:54.040 Post said so too.

00:46:57.140 Well, it's got to

00:46:58.400 be true.

00:46:59.580 It's the

00:46:59.880 Washington Post and

00:47:00.720 the New York

00:47:01.000 Times said it.

00:47:02.760 Must be true.

00:47:03.800 So I thought I

00:47:04.420 would test how much

00:47:05.800 of a racist I am,

00:47:07.600 according to the

00:47:08.460 public.

00:47:09.420 And so when I

00:47:10.920 compared myself

00:47:11.580 against the New

00:47:12.140 York Times for

00:47:12.860 who's the biggest

00:47:13.360 racist, 95% said

00:47:15.560 the New York Times

00:47:16.300 was a bigger racist

00:47:17.200 than me.

00:47:18.180 So I'm going to

00:47:18.920 have to up my

00:47:19.440 game a little bit.

00:47:20.980 I was only able to

00:47:22.140 capture 95% of the

00:47:23.640 public.

00:47:24.560 But I think I can do

00:47:25.440 better.

00:47:25.700 The New York

00:47:27.080 Times, though, is

00:47:27.720 killing me in this.

00:47:28.980 All right.

00:47:29.380 So I've said before

00:47:30.540 that I disagree with

00:47:32.780 boycotts.

00:47:34.640 I generally don't

00:47:35.660 like them.

00:47:36.560 I don't think I

00:47:37.380 would have done the

00:47:37.940 Bud Light boycott,

00:47:39.160 frankly.

00:47:40.100 Although I have to

00:47:40.840 admit it worked.

00:47:41.540 From a political

00:47:43.840 standpoint, totally

00:47:45.160 worked.

00:47:46.420 Can I say that

00:47:47.280 without any

00:47:47.900 ambiguity?

00:47:50.040 The Bud Light

00:47:51.020 boycott completely

00:47:53.420 worked.

00:47:54.480 You don't think that

00:47:55.500 that caused other

00:47:57.000 companies to say,

00:47:58.040 whoop, whoop,

00:47:58.540 whoop, back off. 0.57

00:48:00.900 Of course it did.

00:48:02.260 Of course it did.

00:48:04.040 Completely worked.

00:48:05.460 Now, the problem

00:48:06.120 with boycotts is not

00:48:07.200 that they don't work.

00:48:09.340 Boycotts can work. 0.95

00:48:10.360 I just don't like

00:48:11.820 them, because

00:48:12.320 everybody will start

00:48:13.080 boycotting everybody.

00:48:14.860 Do you see the

00:48:15.340 point?

00:48:16.100 You know, as soon

00:48:18.100 as it becomes the

00:48:18.860 go-to tool, then all

00:48:21.440 the left will be

00:48:22.340 boycotted by the

00:48:23.220 right, and the

00:48:24.000 right will be

00:48:24.520 boycotted by the

00:48:25.280 left.

00:48:25.820 And it's a very big

00:48:26.680 drag on the free

00:48:28.780 market.

00:48:30.300 Right?

00:48:30.640 Now, presumably,

00:48:31.760 there would be a

00:48:32.360 7-11 for

00:48:34.000 conservatives, and

00:48:35.000 someday a 7-11 for

00:48:36.800 just progressives.

00:48:38.460 Maybe.

00:48:39.140 Maybe the free

00:48:39.920 market could work

00:48:40.640 it out.

00:48:41.120 But I don't need

00:48:41.720 two 7-11s.

00:48:43.440 I'm quite happy

00:48:44.560 shopping in the

00:48:45.320 7-11 with people

00:48:47.120 who disagree with

00:48:47.980 me politically.

00:48:49.960 So I don't want

00:48:50.900 the economy destroyed

00:48:51.960 by a bunch of

00:48:52.520 boycotts.

00:48:53.720 However, I'm going

00:48:55.320 to make an

00:48:55.680 exception on this

00:48:56.440 one, because if

00:48:58.280 they're backing

00:48:58.780 people calling for

00:48:59.900 my murder, I

00:49:01.420 think that might be

00:49:03.540 a line that's too

00:49:04.300 far.

00:49:05.300 Too far.

00:49:06.040 Yeah, a little

00:49:07.500 bit too far.

00:49:08.580 Now, I understand

00:49:09.520 the argument that

00:49:10.420 it's an old song,

00:49:11.540 and it should not

00:49:12.480 be taken literally.

00:49:14.340 That's a stupid

00:49:15.180 fucking argument.

00:49:17.740 Right?

00:49:18.580 That's like saying

00:49:19.300 you could use the

00:49:20.000 N-word because,

00:49:20.860 well, it's just

00:49:21.340 a historical word.

00:49:22.300 Nobody means it

00:49:22.920 seriously.

00:49:23.800 You couldn't

00:49:24.320 possibly think we're

00:49:25.200 using this in any

00:49:25.980 kind of a racist

00:49:27.140 way.

00:49:27.920 It's just the old

00:49:28.780 way we used to

00:49:29.540 talk.

00:49:30.140 I just thought it'd

00:49:30.900 be ironic if I

00:49:31.780 talked in the old

00:49:32.500 way for a while.

00:49:33.800 Oh, no, it's just,

00:49:34.800 oh, no, no, it's

00:49:36.820 an anti-slavery

00:49:38.180 word.

00:49:39.280 No, when I use the

00:49:40.560 N-word, what I mean

00:49:41.600 is I'm opposed to

00:49:43.580 slavery.

00:49:45.660 All right, this is

00:49:46.440 a stupid argument,

00:49:47.240 a stupid analogy.

00:49:48.960 So, yes, the New

00:49:49.800 York Times, I think,

00:49:51.120 deserves to be

00:49:51.840 completely out of

00:49:52.480 business.

00:49:53.940 This is way over

00:49:54.980 the line.

00:49:56.560 You can't call for

00:49:57.620 genocide against

00:49:58.420 white people, even

00:49:59.840 in your weird little

00:50:00.780 indirect way where

00:50:01.820 you're saying you're

00:50:02.440 not, because they

00:50:03.820 are, in effect.

00:50:05.800 They're basically

00:50:06.600 putting a little,

00:50:08.420 let's say, a little

00:50:11.000 coat of respectability

00:50:12.900 to the call for

00:50:14.460 white genocide.

00:50:18.380 Nope, you do not

00:50:19.760 get it.

00:50:20.460 So now they have to

00:50:21.900 go out of business.

00:50:22.820 New York Times has

00:50:23.440 to be put out of

00:50:24.080 business.

00:50:25.320 One way or the

00:50:26.060 other.

00:50:26.740 That's got to

00:50:27.320 happen now.

00:50:27.760 All right, Ellen

00:50:30.900 Dershowitz said the

00:50:31.780 scariest thing you've

00:50:33.140 ever heard in your

00:50:33.920 life, an opinion

00:50:35.800 about the Trump

00:50:36.680 legal problems.

00:50:37.900 He said that Trump

00:50:39.260 will probably be

00:50:40.440 convicted, and

00:50:42.280 probably the first

00:50:44.020 appeals court would

00:50:44.920 uphold it, and

00:50:46.760 then almost certainly

00:50:48.020 the Supreme Court

00:50:49.440 would throw it out.

00:50:51.300 What do you hear

00:50:52.440 when you hear that?

00:50:53.500 Now you might hear,

00:50:57.560 oh, it'll all be

00:50:58.420 okay, you know, if

00:51:00.640 you're an optimist.

00:51:01.500 Oh, it'll all be

00:51:02.060 okay.

00:51:02.440 In the end, Supreme

00:51:04.020 Court will throw it

00:51:04.820 out.

00:51:05.760 Trump will spend zero

00:51:06.860 time in jail.

00:51:07.840 There will be no

00:51:08.500 convictions.

00:51:09.580 We go on with their

00:51:10.620 lives.

00:51:11.000 It could happen.

00:51:12.160 It could happen just

00:51:13.120 the way he laid it

00:51:14.180 out.

00:51:14.360 I think it will,

00:51:14.960 actually.

00:51:15.560 That's the most

00:51:16.160 likely outcome.

00:51:17.800 Most likely outcome.

00:51:19.700 But isn't there

00:51:20.820 something we're

00:51:21.420 accepting as okay?

00:51:23.500 At what point did

00:51:25.540 we start talking

00:51:26.500 casually about the

00:51:28.400 fact there's no

00:51:29.180 reasonable chance

00:51:31.380 that the D.C. 0.61

00:51:33.480 courts would rule

00:51:35.680 fairly?

00:51:37.120 We're actually

00:51:37.920 talking about the

00:51:39.220 courts prosecuting

00:51:41.840 him for political

00:51:42.880 reasons, and we're

00:51:44.540 talking about that

00:51:45.360 like that's just a

00:51:46.440 normal thing.

00:51:47.880 Oh, yeah, but that

00:51:48.640 will get reversed in

00:51:49.500 the Supreme Court.

00:51:50.260 How in the world did

00:51:53.460 we start talking

00:51:54.400 about the courts not

00:51:56.120 functioning in America

00:51:57.300 because that's what it

00:51:58.260 would be.

00:51:58.820 It would be not

00:51:59.460 functioning.

00:52:00.680 How did we talk about

00:52:02.140 that matter-of-factly?

00:52:04.760 Where did that come

00:52:06.040 from?

00:52:06.940 How about that's the

00:52:07.660 biggest fucking problem 0.93

00:52:08.680 in the world?

00:52:09.580 Because the only thing

00:52:10.740 that keeps the entire

00:52:11.700 planet from burning is

00:52:14.480 that some countries like

00:52:15.780 the United States have a

00:52:17.820 justice system that is

00:52:20.720 credible most of the

00:52:22.660 time.

00:52:24.760 As soon as we take it

00:52:26.340 for granted that the

00:52:28.180 D.C., you know, the

00:52:29.420 heart of power, the

00:52:31.320 most important courts

00:52:32.400 would be where your

00:52:33.420 heart of power is,

00:52:34.260 right?

00:52:35.440 As soon as we take it

00:52:36.540 for granted that they're

00:52:37.440 not a functioning real

00:52:38.560 court, that's a

00:52:41.420 problem.

00:52:43.300 Don't you think that

00:52:44.480 we need some kind of a

00:52:46.920 martial law to replace

00:52:48.640 the courts in D.C.?

00:52:50.820 Don't you think we need

00:52:53.240 perhaps a constitutional

00:52:57.820 amendment that says that

00:53:00.320 you can't be tried in

00:53:01.380 Washington, D.C.?

00:53:02.820 I'd be in favor of that.

00:53:04.880 I would be in favor of

00:53:05.800 saying that it is illegal

00:53:07.000 to be tried for any crime

00:53:08.580 in Washington, D.C.

00:53:09.860 because it becomes

00:53:10.800 political.

00:53:12.360 Now, maybe you could

00:53:13.620 separate the politically

00:53:15.240 oriented crimes from the

00:53:17.280 regular crimes.

00:53:19.040 Yeah, that makes sense.

00:53:20.200 But there should be a law

00:53:21.160 that says all, no

00:53:23.260 politician can be tried in

00:53:24.880 Washington, D.C.

00:53:26.740 It shouldn't even be an

00:53:27.860 option.

00:53:29.360 And I think Vivek, you

00:53:30.880 know, this sounds like a

00:53:31.680 Vivek kind of a thing,

00:53:33.100 because he's the only one

00:53:34.220 bold enough to recommend

00:53:35.980 changes that we all know

00:53:37.520 we need.

00:53:38.500 And by the way, this should

00:53:39.460 be, you know, if there's

00:53:41.480 somewhere else like

00:53:42.480 Washington, D.C., I'd say

00:53:44.540 the same thing, right?

00:53:46.260 It's not about Washington,

00:53:47.280 D.C.

00:53:47.740 If you've got a place, let

00:53:50.640 me just summarize.

00:53:52.360 If one of the most

00:53:53.700 eminent lawyers in the

00:53:56.660 United States, Alan

00:53:57.680 Dershowitz, can say

00:53:59.460 matter-of-factly that the

00:54:01.820 first and maybe even the

00:54:03.160 second ruling will be

00:54:05.360 unfair by design, unfair

00:54:09.120 and we all know it, unfair

00:54:11.660 and everybody can see it?

00:54:13.880 So much so that the

00:54:15.200 Supreme Court will

00:54:15.920 certainly overturn it?

00:54:19.720 You know, maybe you

00:54:20.720 should be worried that you

00:54:21.620 know what the Supreme

00:54:22.480 Court will do.

00:54:24.260 Let's turn this around for

00:54:25.540 a minute.

00:54:26.660 How did we design a

00:54:27.820 system where you know in

00:54:29.220 advance what the Supreme

00:54:30.280 Court will do?

00:54:30.980 Because you kind of do.

00:54:32.900 Now, in this case, I'm just

00:54:34.680 happy about it, that that

00:54:36.300 would be a backstop for the

00:54:37.640 worst-case scenario.

00:54:38.500 But you could easily see,

00:54:42.880 you could easily imagine

00:54:45.680 that the Supreme Court

00:54:47.160 looks illegitimate from the

00:54:49.860 perspective of the left

00:54:51.480 because the left also can

00:54:53.640 predict what the Supreme

00:54:55.320 Court will do.

00:54:56.480 If you can predict what

00:54:57.860 they'll do, I'm not entirely

00:55:00.220 sure that's a real court.

00:55:03.680 I mean, again, I'm happy that

00:55:05.600 it's conservative-dominated

00:55:07.080 because even though I

00:55:08.440 personally am left of

00:55:10.440 Bernie, I don't want my

00:55:12.840 court to be making shit 1.00

00:55:14.020 up.

00:55:15.660 I don't want them to make

00:55:16.780 stuff up.

00:55:17.960 I want them to, you know,

00:55:19.100 try to, like, follow the

00:55:20.780 rules and stuff.

00:55:22.020 So that, you know, that

00:55:23.580 suggests a conservative

00:55:24.680 court.

00:55:25.720 But that has nothing to do

00:55:26.960 with left or right.

00:55:28.600 You know, the left should

00:55:29.840 want a conservative court, in

00:55:31.980 my opinion.

00:55:32.480 But, obviously, that's a rare

00:55:34.920 opinion on the left.

00:55:37.240 All right.

00:55:38.020 So, that's the most

00:55:39.420 alarming thing, that we

00:55:40.480 just talk about that like

00:55:41.620 it's nothing.

00:55:43.260 All right.

00:55:45.220 I saw a Michael Shermer

00:55:47.400 tweet.

00:55:49.320 I guess Joe Rogan was

00:55:50.860 interviewing one of the

00:55:51.920 pilots that saw the

00:55:53.140 Tic Tac UFO.

00:55:55.300 And that same pilot who

00:55:56.780 reported the Tic Tac UFO,

00:56:00.160 there's probably more than

00:56:01.220 one, I guess, admits to

00:56:04.040 hoaxing UFOs and gave

00:56:09.080 details about how he did

00:56:10.320 it.

00:56:11.700 So, the way he'd do it

00:56:13.020 was, I guess, they would

00:56:17.340 try to convince campers

00:56:18.820 that they saw a UFO because

00:56:20.600 there's a way he could do

00:56:21.800 something with his jet that

00:56:24.140 from the ground would look

00:56:25.520 like something impossible

00:56:27.440 had happened.

00:56:28.360 In other words, he could

00:56:29.200 create the illusion that

00:56:31.680 the physics had been

00:56:33.200 violated because of an

00:56:35.180 optical illusion at night

00:56:36.620 in how he flies his

00:56:38.260 plane.

00:56:40.120 Yeah, I guess turning off

00:56:41.040 the lights or something.

00:56:41.940 I don't know.

00:56:42.840 So, the details don't

00:56:43.900 matter.

00:56:44.740 But, how do you feel about

00:56:46.500 the existence of UFOs when

00:56:48.380 one of the main witnesses

00:56:51.500 admits in the past faking

00:56:53.800 UFOs?

00:56:57.820 And I think Michael

00:56:59.320 Sherver said this as well.

00:57:03.500 The reason that people

00:57:04.760 think UFOs are real is that

00:57:07.000 it's hard to believe that

00:57:08.920 anybody who's a human

00:57:10.760 being would make up such a

00:57:13.520 detailed story and put

00:57:14.980 themselves in the middle of

00:57:16.680 it.

00:57:17.340 It just doesn't seem like

00:57:18.420 something a normal person

00:57:19.500 would do.

00:57:20.900 So, you say to yourself,

00:57:21.920 nobody would do that.

00:57:23.140 It must be real.

00:57:24.060 Or at least they must

00:57:24.820 think it's real.

00:57:25.980 Nobody would intentionally

00:57:27.320 do a hoax like that.

00:57:30.260 Do you know who does

00:57:31.380 hoaxes like that?

00:57:33.420 People.

00:57:34.860 People.

00:57:36.160 Since the beginning of

00:57:37.220 time, there's never been

00:57:38.880 a time in human history

00:57:39.900 where there weren't lots

00:57:41.480 and lots of people,

00:57:42.360 usually men, usually men,

00:57:45.380 maybe always men, maybe 1.00

00:57:47.940 99,999999% men, who will

00:57:51.820 tell you absolutely

00:57:53.100 anything for various

00:57:55.480 reasons.

00:57:56.040 Make money because it's

00:57:57.220 funny, usually because

00:57:59.120 it's funny.

00:58:00.820 Yeah, usually because it's

00:58:02.060 funny.

00:58:03.960 So if you deny the, you

00:58:06.040 know, if you deny the

00:58:07.560 existence of hoaxers, you're

00:58:09.460 a hoaxer denier.

00:58:11.060 No, hoaxers exist.

00:58:13.200 Definitely exist.

00:58:15.200 Have I ever personally

00:58:16.580 tried to fake a UFO

00:58:17.820 sighting?

00:58:18.360 No comment.

00:58:23.580 Of course I have.

00:58:25.620 You don't think at least

00:58:26.840 once I've taken a picture

00:58:27.940 of something I threw in

00:58:30.140 the air when I was a kid?

00:58:33.220 When I was 14, you don't

00:58:34.900 think I ever once threw

00:58:36.100 something in the air and

00:58:37.980 tried to take a picture of

00:58:38.980 it and call it a UFO?

00:58:40.780 They didn't come out very

00:58:41.920 well, but of course I tried.

00:58:43.920 Of course I tried.

00:58:51.480 Who calls me before 8 a.m.?

00:58:56.620 All right.

00:58:59.660 I think I know what it is.

00:59:02.420 And my last story, how many

00:59:04.280 of you saw the Tucker

00:59:05.540 interview with Devin

00:59:06.720 Archer?

00:59:07.040 So, it was like hours

00:59:09.920 long, so I told myself I

00:59:11.520 wasn't going to listen, but

00:59:13.160 then I made the mistake of

00:59:14.420 listening to a couple of

00:59:15.940 minutes of it.

00:59:17.700 And if you listen to a

00:59:18.880 couple of minutes of it, it

00:59:19.960 does draw you in.

00:59:21.460 And the stuff that I got

00:59:22.700 drawn in on wasn't even

00:59:24.340 important.

00:59:25.540 Like, it was just Devin

00:59:26.440 Archer describing the path

00:59:29.440 of his life.

00:59:31.420 I would have listened to

00:59:32.480 that all day.

00:59:33.740 It was like this

00:59:34.380 fascinating story of how

00:59:36.660 an unusually smart kid

00:59:39.100 who got to Yale, and he

00:59:40.500 played some lacrosse, I

00:59:42.200 guess.

00:59:42.920 But how does a smart kid

00:59:44.540 who's, you know, very

00:59:45.920 internationally oriented

00:59:49.060 and willing to do big

00:59:51.040 things, and, you know, how

00:59:52.540 did he go from just being

00:59:53.680 smart and playing lacrosse

00:59:55.300 to Yale to being in the

00:59:58.180 middle of history?

00:59:59.780 And there are a few

01:00:01.140 things he knows.

01:00:01.940 First of all, he's

01:00:03.220 insanely likable.

01:00:05.460 You know, I heard a

01:00:06.220 number of people say

01:00:06.980 that, and I thought,

01:00:08.780 yeah, yeah, yeah,

01:00:09.660 everybody can be

01:00:10.500 likable.

01:00:11.480 That's not really a high

01:00:12.380 bar, right?

01:00:13.600 Everybody's likable,

01:00:14.900 right?

01:00:15.380 But he's super likable.

01:00:17.580 He's, like, extra

01:00:18.540 likable.

01:00:19.720 So the longer he talks,

01:00:21.380 like, he laughs at

01:00:22.400 himself, and he's

01:00:23.580 self-deprecating, but he

01:00:25.340 does self-deprecating

01:00:26.380 right.

01:00:27.440 Like, he doesn't do it

01:00:28.340 the cringy way.

01:00:29.620 He does it the way where

01:00:30.620 you're laughing with

01:00:31.420 him.

01:00:31.540 Like, it's all just

01:00:33.100 kind of weird and

01:00:33.740 funny.

01:00:35.000 But let me tell you,

01:00:37.100 when he was done

01:00:38.100 explaining the entire

01:00:39.360 sequence of events that

01:00:41.300 got all the way to

01:00:42.260 Hunter on the board of

01:00:43.400 Burisma, it all 1.00

01:00:45.700 sounded normal and

01:00:46.860 legal to me.

01:00:49.420 Isn't that weird?

01:00:50.860 It all sounded legal to

01:00:52.300 me.

01:00:53.980 Now, you can say it's

01:00:55.500 inappropriate.

01:00:59.540 You could say that you

01:01:01.520 wish it didn't happen.

01:01:02.700 You could say it's

01:01:03.760 distorting politics.

01:01:05.400 You could say it should

01:01:06.180 be illegal.

01:01:07.520 You know, I'm with you

01:01:08.160 on all that.

01:01:09.660 But when he laid it all

01:01:11.020 out, I found him 100%

01:01:13.340 credible.

01:01:14.960 I mean, unless he's the

01:01:15.940 world's best liar.

01:01:17.200 But he does not look like

01:01:18.380 a liar. 0.91

01:01:19.320 He does not look like a 1.00

01:01:20.440 liar.

01:01:20.760 Not that I could tell.

01:01:22.640 But I'm just telling you

01:01:23.360 the way he presents

01:01:24.960 himself is very honest.

01:01:27.120 Good presentation of

01:01:28.360 honesty, anyway.

01:01:29.920 And when he was done, I

01:01:32.040 saw a series of events

01:01:33.940 where it was sort of one

01:01:35.140 thing led to another

01:01:35.940 thing.

01:01:36.820 Somebody saw an

01:01:37.580 opportunity.

01:01:38.800 You know, somebody made

01:01:39.540 a phone call.

01:01:40.820 And the next thing you

01:01:41.540 know, you have this

01:01:42.040 situation.

01:01:42.640 But honestly, it all

01:01:43.420 looked legal.

01:01:44.860 I didn't see anything

01:01:45.740 illegal.

01:01:47.320 If everything that

01:01:48.320 Devin Archer says is

01:01:49.320 true, which, by the way,

01:01:50.800 matches almost entirely

01:01:53.000 the charges against

01:01:54.020 him.

01:01:55.620 Right?

01:01:55.900 He wasn't defending

01:01:56.680 him.

01:01:57.320 He was actually telling

01:01:58.220 you the details.

01:01:59.520 When you hear the

01:02:00.220 details, you go, that's

01:02:01.580 probably totally legal.

01:02:04.840 So apparently, here's

01:02:07.480 what you need to know.

01:02:08.580 If you're a big company

01:02:09.960 outside the United

01:02:10.840 States, and you want to

01:02:12.860 get something done that

01:02:14.640 involves the United 0.74

01:02:15.420 States, you're probably

01:02:16.800 going to have to deal

01:02:17.420 with, in some ways,

01:02:18.520 regulatory things or,

01:02:19.940 you know, bureaucratic

01:02:21.200 things or, you're going

01:02:22.700 to have to get

01:02:23.100 something done.

01:02:24.440 Right?

01:02:24.760 You can't just set up

01:02:25.760 shop.

01:02:27.380 So, because our

01:02:28.740 government is somewhat

01:02:29.900 opaque, like you 0.99

01:02:31.840 wouldn't know who to

01:02:32.480 talk to, you wouldn't

01:02:33.520 know what to do,

01:02:34.220 there's this huge

01:02:35.100 industry of, usually

01:02:36.440 lawyers, I guess, like

01:02:37.840 Hunter, whose job it

01:02:39.680 is to make sure you can

01:02:40.600 talk to the right

01:02:41.220 person.

01:02:42.420 And that's it.

01:02:43.160 You meet the right

01:02:43.940 person to get something

01:02:44.800 done.

01:02:45.820 Now, here's the weird

01:02:46.840 thing.

01:02:47.120 I don't think the

01:02:49.380 economy can survive

01:02:50.500 without it.

01:02:52.580 Because it's all these

01:02:53.540 people who would not be

01:02:55.000 able to do business

01:02:55.940 unless they could find

01:02:57.320 the right person to

01:02:58.020 talk to.

01:02:58.560 Because the bureaucracy

01:02:59.520 would just be a total

01:03:01.240 stopper.

01:03:02.300 You would never get a

01:03:03.220 license, you'd never get

01:03:04.200 anything approved, you'd

01:03:05.860 never get past some

01:03:06.760 regulatory hurdle.

01:03:08.520 So, I do believe that

01:03:10.300 this, you know,

01:03:11.820 unseemly corrupt-looking

01:03:14.980 business of people

01:03:16.000 connecting important

01:03:17.540 people, it might be the

01:03:19.500 only thing that's keeping

01:03:20.360 anything running, as bad

01:03:22.300 as it is, right?

01:03:23.460 I'm not defending it, I'm

01:03:25.180 just saying, what's your

01:03:25.820 alternative?

01:03:32.080 All right, I have to go

01:03:33.040 yell at somebody outside

01:03:34.140 my doorway.

01:03:35.600 We'll be right back.

01:03:36.200 Hello.

01:03:46.060 Hello.

01:03:47.560 Can you sit outside for a

01:03:48.740 second?

01:03:50.740 Hi.

01:03:53.000 I don't have access to that.

01:03:55.760 I'm on a live stream.

01:03:58.280 Go to the house.

01:04:00.080 Sorry, real world, I'm

01:04:13.640 having some work done.

01:04:15.420 Who shows up before 8 a.m.?

01:04:17.660 Seriously.

01:04:19.700 Who shows up before 8 a.m.?

01:04:21.760 Without telling you first.

01:04:26.340 Well, I'm glad they're on

01:04:27.520 the job, getting the job

01:04:29.060 done.

01:04:29.340 All right, that's all I

01:04:30.500 had today.

01:04:31.620 I'm going to say goodbye

01:04:32.400 to YouTube, and I will

01:04:37.940 talk to you tomorrow.
