Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2197 Scott Adams： All Kinds Of Weird News Today. Bring Coffee

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

00:00:08.400 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:10.240 There's never been a better time in the world to be alive.

00:00:14.260 And if you'd like to enjoy this experience in ways that humans have never even experienced

00:00:19.080 ever anywhere in the history of humanity, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a

00:00:24.780 tank or chalice or stye, and a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:28.560 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:31.700 I like coffee.

00:00:33.340 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing

00:00:36.520 that makes everything better.

00:00:39.220 It's called the Sanitania Sip.

00:00:40.940 Go.

00:00:44.980 All right.

00:00:45.620 How did one of you know my childhood nickname?

00:00:49.300 Is there somebody out here who knows me?

00:00:51.660 Or was that the luckiest guess in the entire world?

00:00:56.420 Is there somebody here from my hometown?

00:00:59.420 In Wyndham, New York?

00:01:01.360 That was too weird.

00:01:04.940 Right?

00:01:05.560 I'm not going to tell you what it was, because then you'll use it.

00:01:09.380 Now, it would have been before Hartwick.

00:01:11.380 It would have been high school.

00:01:13.020 And there was only one person who used that nickname.

00:01:15.280 Yes, Skippy.

00:01:20.080 How in the world did you do that?

00:01:24.340 All right.

00:01:24.880 We won't talk about that anymore.

00:01:27.840 Well, apparently, X, which used to be called Twitter, is going to add a calling feature.

00:01:34.680 So now they're going to replace the phone company, I guess.

00:01:41.500 So, you know, watching whatever it is that Elon Musk does with Twitter, it's going to be pretty amazing.

00:01:51.360 Don't you think?

00:01:52.360 I feel like it's just beginning, and you haven't seen anything yet.

00:01:58.740 Which dovetails with an article that was in phys.org about entrepreneurs in the age at which they make their biggest changes.

00:02:08.180 And there's some suggestion, based on 2,900 founders that were looked at, that the older founders made more radical innovations.

00:02:22.420 Does that sound true?

00:02:24.520 That the older founders were consistently made bigger changes.

00:02:30.000 The young entrepreneurs would do more entrepreneurial stuff.

00:02:35.000 So young people are definitely more entrepreneurial.

00:02:37.020 But their improvements seem to be more small improvements on existing things.

00:02:44.700 Whereas the older people did, you know, complete replacement type stuff. 0.91

00:02:50.540 Oh, you think that's true?

00:02:52.560 Does that match your experience?

00:02:54.940 Would you say that you notice that?

00:02:57.400 There are a number of, you know, famous examples people started when they're a little bit older.

00:03:01.700 But I would say that Elon Musk is now in that category of an older entrepreneur.

00:03:07.660 True?

00:03:09.040 Would you say Elon is over, what is he?

00:03:12.120 What's his age?

00:03:12.880 40-something?

00:03:15.920 And look at what he plans to do with X.

00:03:21.900 His plans for X are not some kind of incremental improvement.

00:03:26.540 He's changing it into a whole different thing.

00:03:30.280 So he clearly has the extraordinary, you know, huge change gene in him at every age.

00:03:38.620 Now, here's something that I guess I should disclose this.

00:03:43.580 I realized this morning, you know how you should disclose when you've got monetary connections to anything if you're talking about the news?

00:03:50.420 Because it's good.

00:03:51.740 I mean, it's not, I don't think it's a legal requirement in my case, but it seems like good form to disclose.

00:03:58.140 Elon Musk is making me money three different ways now.

00:04:02.180 And none of this is investment advice, right?

00:04:07.100 So this is no investment advice.

00:04:09.140 But during the pandemic, I bought Tesla stock.

00:04:13.440 And that turned out to be really good.

00:04:15.260 So it's up 100% since I bought it.

00:04:19.640 So he's making me money on stock.

00:04:23.580 And it's actually, of the individual stocks I own, which are only a handful, it's my number one, you know, biggest increase.

00:04:32.640 So he's making me money on stocks for Tesla.

00:04:35.660 And then you probably know I'm running the revised, you know, the Dilbert Reborn comic runs on Twitter as well as the Locals platform.

00:04:46.660 But on Twitter, I'm getting subscription fees now for Dilbert, for the subscribers.

00:04:52.600 But, and then as you know, if you have an account that has a certain size, you'll get ad revenue when X puts an ad in your comments fields.

00:05:03.580 So I started getting checks for that.

00:05:06.620 So if you added the subscriptions and the ad revenue together, it would basically be a middle class income.

00:05:14.160 And then if you had the stock gains on top of it, it's the number one thing I made money on was Twitter.

00:05:23.440 Did anybody see that?

00:05:24.620 Well, actually, Elon Musk, not Twitter.

00:05:27.000 So the number one thing I made money on in one category so far this year is Elon Musk.

00:05:32.620 Elon Musk, he made me more money than anything else did.

00:05:38.180 Or he will by the end of the year.

00:05:41.320 Of course, I got canceled.

00:05:42.820 So that, you know, obviously changed my primary sources of income.

00:05:48.340 Well, I saw another article that waking up early is white supremacy.

00:05:55.420 Waking up early.

00:05:56.660 Did anybody wake up early today?

00:05:58.500 Yeah.

00:06:00.700 Yeah. 0.99

00:06:01.340 Oh, you racist. 1.00

00:06:03.060 Racist. 1.00

00:06:03.980 Racist. 1.00

00:06:05.440 Racist. 1.00

00:06:06.040 Racist. 1.00

00:06:07.000 Racist. 1.00

00:06:07.520 Racist. 0.99

00:06:07.980 Right. 0.98

00:06:08.560 My God, there are a lot of racists here today. 0.99

00:06:11.180 What the hell do you think you're doing waking up early? 0.98

00:06:15.120 How is that fair? 0.73

00:06:17.020 It's not fair.

00:06:18.400 Well, don't wake up early. 0.90

00:06:20.080 It's white supremacy.

00:06:21.220 Now, I woke up at 4 a.m. this morning and went to work.

00:06:27.500 That makes me a little extreme.

00:06:30.540 Extreme white supremacy for getting up extra early.

00:06:35.720 All right. 0.98

00:06:36.240 Well, most of you are just ordinary white supremacists. 0.90

00:06:38.720 You know, 5, 530. 0.97

00:06:41.100 That's barely trying.

00:06:43.020 Yeah.

00:06:43.800 All right.

00:06:44.140 So, I don't know if I've ever said this directly before, or if you heard me, but have you noticed

00:06:52.500 that having a good argument doesn't change people's minds?

00:06:56.820 Has anybody ever noticed that?

00:06:59.540 Have you been alive on the planet Earth and you know that your really tight arguments don't

00:07:05.740 change anybody's minds?

00:07:06.740 But sometimes, if you can communicate your argument in a simple and persuasive form, then

00:07:16.400 you can get some change.

00:07:19.740 So, would you agree that the quality of the argument is somewhat not as effective as you

00:07:26.400 might imagine, but the quality of the persuasion, let's say taking away the logic part and all

00:07:32.340 the details and the data.

00:07:33.460 But if you can put it into some little tight persuasion package, it could change everything.

00:07:41.100 I'm going to change the entire character of the United States right now.

00:07:45.960 Do you think I can do it?

00:07:48.920 Do you think I can come up with a few words, just a few words, less than a sentence, that

00:07:55.140 would change the course of the United States in a fundamental way?

00:08:00.920 Challenge accepted.

00:08:01.820 You ready?

00:08:03.460 Black Americans are denied the tool of imitation, the only way anybody ever succeeds. 1.00

00:08:18.600 They're denied the tool of imitation, the only way anybody ever succeeds.

00:08:25.280 Do you know how I succeed?

00:08:26.780 I literally looked at other successful people, and they said, what do I got to do?

00:08:31.780 And I've been studying successful people, both directly and rigorously, like actually buying

00:08:39.660 a book, reading how somebody did it, you know, reading about Steve Jobs' biography, of course.

00:08:46.060 If you haven't read Steve Jobs' biography, are you really trying?

00:08:52.780 Are you really even trying to be successful?

00:08:54.760 There's a whole book that tells you how the most successful person did it.

00:09:00.580 You haven't read that?

00:09:03.480 Are you even trying?

00:09:05.560 Are you trying to be successful?

00:09:07.780 How could you not read that?

00:09:10.000 All right, I'm just joking with you.

00:09:11.440 But you get the point, right?

00:09:13.060 Have you studied Elon Musk's history of what he did and how it worked?

00:09:18.320 You haven't?

00:09:20.460 If you haven't done that, you're not even trying.

00:09:24.700 It's the most basic thing you should do.

00:09:26.740 You should look at successful people, find out what they did.

00:09:30.600 If you work in a big company, do you already have a, let's say you're younger, do you already

00:09:35.720 have a mentor to tell you what works and what doesn't?

00:09:39.880 You don't?

00:09:41.300 Why not?

00:09:42.960 That's like basic.

00:09:43.900 You need somebody to tell you what works and what doesn't work.

00:09:48.320 Have you read my book, Had It Failed Almost Everything and Still Went Big, a whole book

00:09:52.180 that tells you exactly what works and what doesn't to be successful?

00:09:58.520 You haven't?

00:10:00.340 Why not?

00:10:02.620 It's simple.

00:10:04.640 I mean, relative to other things that you could do to succeed, reading a little book that's

00:10:10.020 tightly written and kind of fun to read anyway.

00:10:14.780 That's kind of basic.

00:10:16.600 If you're not doing that or reading books like it, you know, it's not the only one in

00:10:21.600 the world, but if you're not reading books on success, are you really trying to be successful?

00:10:27.500 Are you even trying?

00:10:30.740 Why do I get up early and work usually at least two jobs?

00:10:35.520 Is it a coincidence that my father woke up early every day and worked two jobs?

00:10:41.300 He'd go to work at the post office and then come home, change his clothes, put on painting

00:10:46.000 clothes and go paint houses.

00:10:48.240 So he would just had two jobs.

00:10:51.860 And, you know, my mother worked in real estate while she was, she also worked in a factory

00:10:56.400 while she was taking care of the house and stuff.

00:10:58.680 So why do you think I work hard and usually have two jobs?

00:11:03.420 I'm either writing a book and doing comics and doing this.

00:11:06.900 It's probably imitation.

00:11:08.800 I think a lot of it's just imitation.

00:11:10.600 I just saw what worked and I said, wow, that looks like a lot of work.

00:11:14.400 Looks really hard, but I can see that it works.

00:11:18.220 So why would I do something that didn't work?

00:11:21.220 Now, black Americans are denied this path that I used because if they were to look as successful

00:11:27.820 people, they would have to act like, what, Steve Jobs?

00:11:32.960 Does that feel comfortable?

00:11:35.220 Do you feel comfortable acting like Steve Jobs if you're a black American? 0.82

00:11:40.160 Maybe. 0.81

00:11:41.100 If you're a conservative, for example, you might say, just tell me what works and I'll do it.

00:11:46.200 If you're not a conservative, you might say, I don't know, that's sort of a culture with

00:11:52.240 a different set of priorities and I feel like I should copy somebody that I emulate maybe

00:11:58.180 locally.

00:11:59.380 And the trouble is that if you live where there are not a lot of Steve Jobs and you've got

00:12:04.260 more drug dealers and criminals, you're probably going to imitate them because they might be

00:12:09.940 the only ones with money.

00:12:10.980 And, you know, money does predict.

00:12:15.920 So here's the thing that will change society.

00:12:23.260 It comes down to one thing.

00:12:25.940 Everybody but black Americans can copy successful people. 1.00

00:12:30.320 And black Americans, for whatever reason, I'm not even sure exactly.

00:12:34.000 You know, I don't want to say culture because I think that's too dismissive and too easy.

00:12:38.120 I don't think it's genetics.

00:12:41.160 I don't think it's a genetic thing because, you know, you see the Nigerians come over and

00:12:45.960 they seem to be doing great.

00:12:47.920 So there's something going on and I don't think we need to know what the problem is, but you

00:12:52.500 can very easily identify what the solution is.

00:12:55.920 The solution is copy famous people.

00:12:59.120 Nobody has done it any other way.

00:13:01.240 Once you realize that nobody has done it any other way, imitation is how you succeed.

00:13:09.660 That's the phrase.

00:13:11.800 Now, I haven't quite got it into the perfect few words, but the idea is that imitation is

00:13:16.820 what makes you succeed.

00:13:18.780 Success is imitation of successful people.

00:13:22.480 Their process.

00:13:24.020 You know, not exactly what they did, but their process.

00:13:27.280 If you're not copying successful people, when did Steve Jobs sell drugs and go to jail?

00:13:35.580 Well, I don't think he did.

00:13:37.080 Don't think he did.

00:13:38.380 So maybe copy that.

00:13:40.520 What was Steve Jobs addicted to?

00:13:43.120 Which substance was he addicted to?

00:13:46.060 None.

00:13:47.440 None.

00:13:48.440 Well, he wasn't addicted.

00:13:51.320 Yeah.

00:13:51.860 So you just go right down the line and you tell me what people who were successful did.

00:13:58.280 If you look at Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates, when they started to get really

00:14:03.980 rich, did you notice that they didn't act rich?

00:14:08.300 Did you notice that?

00:14:09.200 They all drove like old cars and the story was they wore the same clothes and, you know,

00:14:14.840 they didn't really do anything but work.

00:14:16.760 They slept in the office in some cases, right?

00:14:19.060 That's all part of the process because they need other people to do work for them to continue

00:14:25.480 getting richer and they want to make sure the other people are motivated and they don't

00:14:29.340 feel like they're the only ones working hard.

00:14:31.800 So they make sure that their life, you know, looks a little bit more like the employees.

00:14:36.320 Now, eventually they all give that up, right?

00:14:38.600 Eventually they build the billion dollar house.

00:14:41.720 But you can see that the process is very much about imitation.

00:14:46.400 Did anybody notice that Zuckerberg imitated Steve Jobs' dress style and imitated, I would

00:14:54.300 say, Bill Gates' speaking style?

00:14:58.000 It's all imitation.

00:15:00.440 And if black Americans, for whatever reason, and part of the reason I don't want to speculate 0.94

00:15:07.380 or assume that I know what that reason is, because I feel like that's just a little bit

00:15:12.980 too much mind reading or assuming too much about a group of people that I don't have

00:15:19.880 special insight into.

00:15:21.500 So I would say that it's up to black America to figure that out. 1.00

00:15:25.460 But you know exactly what to do. 0.69

00:15:28.160 Copy people who are not like you, who are succeeding, and just keep doing it.

00:15:33.100 And look into what they did, ask them, get a mentor, read a book about successful people,

00:15:39.700 and just stop copying people who are going to end up in jail.

00:15:43.160 It's that simple.

00:15:44.680 Now, I say it's that simple, but it's available to everybody.

00:15:48.740 It's not as simple.

00:15:50.220 It's just available to everybody.

00:15:52.020 So that's my reframe to change the world, that black people are denied.

00:16:00.280 It's almost like a right.

00:16:02.600 It feels like a right, doesn't it?

00:16:04.620 The right to imitate.

00:16:07.260 I mean, it's not a right.

00:16:09.000 But I feel like I have the right to imitate.

00:16:11.920 I can just look at anybody and say, all right, I'm going to do what you do.

00:16:15.680 Keep doing that, I'll do that too. 0.83

00:16:17.160 And if you're black, for some reason, the mechanisms are different. 0.99

00:16:24.300 And as soon as I try to tell you why that's different, then I think I lose all credibility. 0.94

00:16:30.040 I think my credibility stops at the door.

00:16:33.180 Like, I can tell you what works.

00:16:35.500 I'm not going to tell you why you're not doing it.

00:16:37.940 You have to figure that out.

00:16:40.140 You have to figure out why you're not doing it.

00:16:42.840 I can only tell you what to do. 0.99

00:16:47.160 And if you don't do it, I don't give a fuck about you. 1.00

00:16:52.180 I just don't give a fuck. 0.99

00:16:54.200 Now, that has nothing to do with race. 0.99

00:16:56.280 That has everything to do with anybody who's not trying. 0.98

00:16:59.180 If you're not trying and you're not succeeding, well, I don't give a fuck about you. 0.98

00:17:04.460 Not at all. 0.97

00:17:05.660 I have no empathy for that.

00:17:07.460 Because, you know, the world is full of people with gigantic real problems.

00:17:11.660 I mean, I'm basically running on empty for empathy as it is.

00:17:15.520 I got plenty of empathy, but not for people who are not doing the obvious thing to succeed.

00:17:20.740 The obvious thing.

00:17:22.480 Imitate successful people.

00:17:27.240 In a similar fashion, you may have noticed that I was ignoring the story about the Alabama

00:17:32.620 dock fight.

00:17:35.720 Do you all know that story?

00:17:36.820 Because it got way too much press.

00:17:38.220 And I would echo, you know, what Greg Goffeld said, which is, why is this local story a story?

00:17:44.700 But, of course, you know, that race was involved.

00:17:47.700 So it was a big brawl.

00:17:49.080 And it seemed largely white against black. 0.57

00:17:51.480 I could tell from the video.

00:17:53.580 But I watched the video.

00:17:55.960 And you can tell me if I missed something.

00:17:59.320 But let me tell you what I saw.

00:18:00.680 It looked to me like there was some disagreement about a dock parking space.

00:18:07.320 And it looked to me like a white guy threw the first punch.

00:18:10.760 Did I see it right?

00:18:13.100 Did you see a white guy throw the first punch? 1.00

00:18:16.480 Fuck that guy. 1.00

00:18:18.400 Fuck that guy. 1.00

00:18:20.300 Do I care if the black people beat him to death? 1.00

00:18:23.420 Nope. 1.00

00:18:24.320 Nope.

00:18:25.020 No, that's not the way it went. 1.00

00:18:26.720 But if it had gone that way, if some drunk white guy threw the first punch, and the end result was that black people beat him to death, go black people. 1.00

00:18:38.700 Yeah. 0.99

00:18:39.860 Totally on the side of the black people. 1.00

00:18:42.020 This didn't happen, but hypothetically. 0.97

00:18:44.620 If you throw the first punch, I don't have any sympathy for you. 1.00

00:18:47.780 If you threaten Biden and the FBI shoot your ass, I don't care about you. 1.00

00:18:52.660 I don't care about you at all. 1.00

00:18:53.960 Don't threaten my president.

00:18:54.860 Don't punch my citizens.

00:18:57.480 Stop punching my citizens.

00:18:59.500 And then maybe I'll have some empathy for you. 0.88

00:19:01.820 But I was totally on the side of the black guys who fought back.

00:19:05.720 Is there a second way to look at this?

00:19:09.520 I don't think there's an appropriate second way to look at this.

00:19:13.660 But I don't think it should have been a story either.

00:19:16.440 You know, we're turning it into a story because we're, you know, imagining it's a story of the whole world.

00:19:22.740 It's probably not.

00:19:25.100 It's probably a story about a drunk guy who may have been under a misunderstanding or something.

00:19:32.700 But I don't know what it's about, but it doesn't have any national relevance.

00:19:35.680 So let's stop coddling people who start fights and resist arrest and threaten presidents. 1.00

00:19:44.800 Fuck all of them. 1.00

00:19:46.180 We don't have to coddle any of them. 1.00

00:19:47.760 All right.

00:19:51.380 Victoria's Secrets is allegedly changing their, let's say, approach from everybody is beautiful, you know, with overweight models and such. 1.00

00:20:04.760 And now they're going back to some kind of a classic model look, including some older ones.

00:20:14.000 Naomi Campbell, who's over 50, they're bringing her back.

00:20:19.700 Giselle Bundich, over 40.

00:20:23.980 So she'll be part of it.

00:20:25.520 So they're going to have some classics, but then they're bringing in some younger, famous people who are also attractive.

00:20:32.740 Now, they're not fully un-woke in the sense that they seem to be changing their approach to include much older models.

00:20:48.040 You know, I don't think anybody has a problem with that because the older models they're using look like younger models.

00:20:53.840 And that seems to be on brand.

00:20:55.420 Now, you know, I think I agree with most of you.

00:20:59.500 I'm reading your minds to know that you agree with me before I ask.

00:21:02.800 But if your entire business is about physical female beauty, it doesn't really make sense if you run away from it.

00:21:13.520 You know, it's more of a question, should you exist at all?

00:21:15.880 If we agree they should exist, that it's legal and moral and ethical, they should do it any way they want.

00:21:26.160 Because the rest of the world can sell to anybody else the way they want.

00:21:29.580 They've got this little niche.

00:21:31.140 So I think that this is yet another evidence of ESG and mostly ESG, I guess.

00:21:39.580 But any kind of wokeness looks like it's failing.

00:21:44.260 So we're seeing wokeness failing everywhere. 0.86

00:21:48.520 Yeah.

00:21:49.600 Anyway, that's just another example of that.

00:21:52.720 Allegedly, the Coliseum in Rome might be a venue for the Musk versus Zuckerberg fight.

00:22:02.560 I still don't know if the fight's going to happen.

00:22:05.760 It's possible, you know, it won't.

00:22:07.800 Because I guess Elon Musk had some back problems.

00:22:10.680 He has to get remedied before he can fight.

00:22:13.120 So that seems like a pretty big risk.

00:22:15.520 I mean, I don't know how bad the back thing is.

00:22:18.280 It looks pretty bad.

00:22:19.620 But, you know, you wouldn't want him to fight if that's a risk.

00:22:24.860 But I love the fact that people are talking about a billion dollars in revenue raising a billion dollars.

00:22:32.480 And it makes me wonder, how much would Dana White make?

00:22:35.340 So I think he would be organizing it.

00:22:37.280 How much would Dana White make for organizing a fight that brought in a billion dollars? 1.00

00:22:42.840 You know, obviously that doesn't go to him.

00:22:45.940 I don't know.

00:22:46.540 He might do it for free.

00:22:49.260 He might do it for free.

00:22:50.740 Because my understanding is the money would go to charity, right?

00:22:53.420 If he organizes it and it makes a billion dollars for charity, can he really take a cut?

00:23:00.580 Do you think he would?

00:23:02.400 I'm going to make you a prediction.

00:23:04.360 I don't know this for sure.

00:23:06.580 But I think he would only pay his expenses.

00:23:08.400 I can't guarantee that's the way it'll go.

00:23:13.280 But I'm going to make a read on a stranger, because I don't know Dana White.

00:23:17.840 So this is me just reading his head.

00:23:19.600 But I don't believe that a man, there's the key sentence, a man not just in the biologically male sense, but he's not just a man.

00:23:31.040 He's sort of a man's man.

00:23:32.800 If you're a man's man, and you're the one organizing the biggest charity event of all time, you don't take a cut.

00:23:41.500 You don't.

00:23:45.180 You just don't.

00:23:46.640 You just don't take a cut.

00:23:48.640 So I'll be curious.

00:23:50.500 Now, if he does take a cut, I wouldn't criticize him.

00:23:54.380 I wouldn't criticize him.

00:23:55.720 Because it's a business, and it's all transparent.

00:23:59.500 It's a legal, transparent business.

00:24:01.960 He runs it.

00:24:03.440 He does a lot of work.

00:24:04.380 It would be a tremendous amount of work.

00:24:06.420 So given that his organization, he would do a tremendous amount of work.

00:24:09.940 Yeah, they should get some money.

00:24:12.360 But I'm going to predict that he won't.

00:24:14.480 I think he would just cover his costs, because it's a charity event.

00:24:18.900 Which would be one of the smartest business plays, a non-financial play, I guess.

00:24:24.920 But in terms of your view of what his company does and who he is, it would be pretty amazing.

00:24:34.140 So we'll just watch that.

00:24:35.280 It's sort of a big question to me.

00:24:37.760 Like, how does he play that?

00:24:39.360 Because he's played everything else pretty smart.

00:24:41.500 So you expect him to do something smart.

00:24:44.460 Just wonder what it is.

00:24:47.160 All right.

00:24:49.960 My favorite story of the day.

00:24:52.380 Thank you, Fox News, for bringing this to my attention.

00:24:55.260 There's a handyman named Flash Shelton.

00:24:59.080 Okay, that should be the story itself.

00:25:02.540 There's a handyman named Flash.

00:25:08.720 That's just a perfect handyman's name.

00:25:11.040 Do you think you can get this done quickly?

00:25:13.080 Well, they don't call me Flash for nothing.

00:25:17.000 I don't know.

00:25:17.600 I just love that name.

00:25:19.000 Anyway, he founded the United Handyman Association.

00:25:23.680 But he's also working as a squatter removal.

00:25:27.140 Now, this is the funniest thing.

00:25:29.940 And the reason I think it's so funny is that I can so easily see myself doing this exact thing.

00:25:35.980 If I were him.

00:25:37.100 You know, not as me, but if I were him.

00:25:38.740 But the way he removes squatters is he just walks in and he lives with them.

00:25:47.360 He just walks in the door and makes himself at home, brings in his stuff, and he just moves in.

00:25:55.140 And he's like, how you doing?

00:25:56.860 You know, I'm Flash.

00:25:58.180 And then every time they come into the living room, he's sitting on their couch.

00:26:04.000 He likes to leave their refrigerator open.

00:26:06.820 Oh, sorry, did I leave the refrigerator open again?

00:26:10.240 And then it gets better.

00:26:12.160 He installs ring cameras in every room of the house.

00:26:16.220 Because he actually gets a lease with the owner of the house before he goes in.

00:26:21.420 So he's the only legal resident.

00:26:24.540 So as the only legal resident, he just puts up ring cameras.

00:26:28.980 Now, I assume they try to take him down.

00:26:31.160 I don't know.

00:26:31.860 But he's a handyman.

00:26:33.560 So if you're a handyman, you can probably, like, install them so they're a little harder to take down.

00:26:39.720 And can you imagine him doing his work?

00:26:42.640 You know, his handyman work while they're trying to sleep?

00:26:45.780 I don't know.

00:26:46.160 I'm just putting up the ring camera.

00:26:47.520 What time is it?

00:26:48.640 3 a.m.?

00:26:50.120 Yeah, I just have different hours.

00:26:52.460 All right, go back to bed.

00:26:53.940 Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:26:58.180 Now, how many of you put yourself in the situation and said, I could do that.

00:27:05.580 I could play that seriously from beginning to end.

00:27:10.520 Yep, I could do that.

00:27:12.280 I could absolutely do that.

00:27:13.880 But here's my racially charged comment on that.

00:27:24.280 Am I wrong that this is a real white guy thing to do?

00:27:27.580 It's not even a white woman thing to do. 1.00

00:27:29.980 This is so white guy.

00:27:32.060 It's like the most white guy thing I've ever seen in my life.

00:27:34.680 Am I right?

00:27:35.100 Can I hear it from my older white guys?

00:27:39.740 This is such an older...

00:27:41.120 Well, it's even older.

00:27:42.220 It's not even a young white guy thing to do.

00:27:44.520 It's an older white guy.

00:27:46.820 It's a dad.

00:27:48.620 It's a dad joke.

00:27:50.240 It's basically one long dad joke that serves a function of getting rid of a squatter.

00:27:55.740 Am I right?

00:27:56.400 It's a dad joke.

00:27:58.020 It's a dad joke from beginning to end.

00:28:00.280 And it gets rid of your squatters.

00:28:01.560 So if you ever need anybody to do a dad joke, call an old white guy. 1.00

00:28:08.580 We love that shit. 1.00

00:28:10.100 We love that shit. 1.00

00:28:11.600 Best story I'd have. 1.00

00:28:14.460 All right, so congratulations to Flash.

00:28:18.640 I've said this before, but I keep thinking about it.

00:28:21.000 I keep seeing these films of shoplifters.

00:28:24.040 And as you know, it would be illegal for the shop owner to employ any violence.

00:28:29.500 So shop owners can't do that.

00:28:32.560 But could a shop owner have an arrangement with somebody else who did?

00:28:38.000 So for example, could you hire some scary people to just hang around outside your store?

00:28:44.860 But let's say they're not on salary, so they're not working for you officially.

00:28:49.160 So you can't really give them orders, can you?

00:28:51.460 Because they don't work for you officially.

00:28:53.400 So whatever they do on the sidewalk, that's not your problem.

00:28:57.200 That's just something that happened on the sidewalk from people who do not work for me.

00:29:00.360 But suppose you have to deal with them.

00:29:03.320 We'll buy back the merchandise for 10%.

00:29:06.000 Yeah.

00:29:07.960 So if my merchandise leaves the store and it was worth $100, and let's just say, hypothetically, somebody on the sidewalk who was not employed by me stole it back.

00:29:20.940 Now, that seems so illegal, stealing.

00:29:24.220 I'm not in favor of it all.

00:29:25.480 But if somebody did it, you know, on their own, and then they came back in the store and said, yeah, hey, I've got this product.

00:29:32.900 Would you pay me 10% of the dollar to get it back?

00:29:35.360 I'd say, well, a stranger, a person who does not work for me and is not on my payroll at all, I'm up for that.

00:29:43.900 Here's 10%.

00:29:45.000 Now, or something like that.

00:29:48.580 Or you can keep 10% of the stuff you steal back.

00:29:51.040 But when I saw the story about the squatter remover guy, what I loved about the story is he used the law against the law.

00:30:03.940 So the law is that squatters have all kinds of rights.

00:30:07.740 And if you're a citizen and the law is not on your side, you're helpless because you can't physically remove them.

00:30:14.160 You'd be arrested.

00:30:15.740 So instead of being thwarted by the law, he did tell me the phrase.

00:30:23.620 Say it.

00:30:25.320 You know where I'm going.

00:30:29.500 Embrace and amplify.

00:30:31.500 Embrace and amplify.

00:30:32.640 How do you destroy a rule or a law that is absurd, but you can't get it changed in ordinary ways?

00:30:42.240 You use the law.

00:30:44.160 You use it yourself.

00:30:46.040 That's what he did.

00:30:47.160 Because he was a squatter, too, in a way.

00:30:49.320 I mean, he was a legal squatter because he had a lease.

00:30:52.080 But he just acted like a squatter, and nobody could remove him.

00:30:56.680 He just used the law.

00:30:59.700 Perfect.

00:31:01.060 So it makes me wonder if there's some way shop owners can use the law that says apparently you can rob people with impunity all day long.

00:31:10.340 But the shop owners can't stop a, if you're the shop owner, you can't stop a crime.

00:31:15.760 So instead of stopping a crime, you become a criminal.

00:31:19.540 Now, I don't think the store owner could stand outside the store and stop somebody and rob it back, because that would look like the store owner stopping.

00:31:28.020 But as long as there were some people who were willing to do it for you, and they knew there was a market for the goods once they stole them, a 10% market, would they not be willing to rob that person as they left the store?

00:31:40.360 Maybe. Maybe.

00:31:44.220 Maybe.

00:31:44.940 Now, this isn't the best idea I've ever had, but I'll give you the concept.

00:31:49.380 The concept is, is there a way to use the law to thwart the law?

00:31:54.080 And I don't know if there is exactly, but something in that neighborhood.

00:31:58.540 Somehow humans have to stop the criminals without themselves getting in trouble.

00:32:03.920 Would you agree? 1.00

00:32:05.320 Would you agree that waiting for law enforcement is now a stupid strategy? 0.99

00:32:09.220 I mean, waiting for them to improve their game, or waiting for them to show up. 1.00

00:32:14.480 That's ridiculous.

00:32:15.780 So it has to be human on human, citizen on citizen. 0.97

00:32:19.880 And, I mean, what I'd love to see is snipers.

00:32:23.900 But, you know, I hate to see violence.

00:32:26.820 But I wouldn't mind seeing snipers killing...

00:32:29.220 I just wouldn't mind it. 0.98

00:32:32.500 I wouldn't mind seeing snipers killing shoplifters. 0.94

00:32:35.880 Because you wouldn't have to kill that many, you know, once the word got around. 0.92

00:32:40.840 Probably 20 shoplifters and everybody would get the message.

00:32:44.680 But I say the same thing about at the border.

00:32:49.360 You know, DeSantis says he's going to stop the bad guys at the border using violence, you know, using the military.

00:32:55.620 And I'm thinking, at the border, you're going to wait for them to get on our territory before you stop them?

00:33:02.840 Well, why do we even train snipers?

00:33:04.920 We have all this video where you can actually see the coyote.

00:33:09.200 It's obvious who the cartel employee is.

00:33:12.640 They're the one with the guns.

00:33:13.820 And they're standing in the stream directing people.

00:33:18.040 Are you telling me our military doesn't have anybody who can take that guy out from our side?

00:33:23.460 Because we should.

00:33:25.240 Yeah, we should.

00:33:26.140 The snipers should be taking them out on their side.

00:33:28.960 They should be dropping them in the water.

00:33:32.000 Does anybody disagree?

00:33:33.940 You don't think we should be snipering the...

00:33:37.340 I'll make up my own word.

00:33:39.120 You don't think we should be snipering the coyotes from our side of the border?

00:33:44.080 Because you don't have to clean it up if they die on the other side.

00:33:47.480 If they die on our side, we've got all this paperwork.

00:33:50.740 If a sniper takes them out on their side, there's no paperwork.

00:33:54.540 It's a perfect solution.

00:33:57.080 Yeah.

00:33:58.580 And I like videos of it, too.

00:34:02.300 I'd like the military to take them out with snipers.

00:34:05.260 And then I'd like lots of video of the actual event.

00:34:09.120 So you can see the coyote's head explode.

00:34:13.780 Yeah.

00:34:15.820 We're way beyond playing nice. 0.92

00:34:18.620 So I believe I can say you should take somebody's head off.

00:34:22.180 And I'm well within the moral and ethical bounds of what I'm doing here.

00:34:26.940 So let's use the law that we have.

00:34:32.920 All right.

00:34:34.780 Have you noticed that X, which used to be called Twitter,

00:34:42.280 have you noticed it's the only place you can get context about news?

00:34:46.400 Am I wrong about that?

00:34:47.380 I only know of one place where I have a chance of seeing both arguments.

00:34:52.260 Now, you know, I can get in my own little silo

00:34:55.720 and maybe sometimes miss some arguments. 0.99

00:34:58.600 But at least if the silo I'm in has an argument that's just complete bullshit, 0.96

00:35:03.520 there will at least be a community note. 0.97

00:35:06.080 And there will almost certainly be some Democrat who comes over

00:35:09.580 with a link to the opposite point.

00:35:12.300 You're not going to see that on CNN.

00:35:15.460 You're not going to see it on Fox News.

00:35:17.140 You're not going to see it anywhere.

00:35:18.860 I don't believe Instagram is showing you both sides.

00:35:22.320 I don't know what Facebook looks like because why would anybody use Facebook?

00:35:27.280 Facebook is still, well, no, it's called Meta.

00:35:30.400 Why would anybody use Meta for anything?

00:35:34.100 Honestly, I haven't even opened it in so long I can't remember.

00:35:38.300 Do you remember Threads?

00:35:43.540 Does anybody remember Threads?

00:35:46.520 For about a minute and a half it was a competitor to X

00:35:51.260 and now it's a thing you sort of vaguely remember

00:35:54.300 but you don't know anybody who uses it.

00:35:57.800 I don't know why anybody would own their stock, honestly.

00:36:02.220 Well, why would anybody own a stock that no young person uses

00:36:06.280 and therefore you can pretty much predict the end of the company?

00:36:11.340 The only thing they have going for them, well, they do have Instagram, that's right.

00:36:15.060 They have Instagram and WhatsApp is doing fine.

00:36:17.900 But the whole Meta virtual reality looks like it's going nowhere.

00:36:22.760 And the Facebook, you know, the old Facebook classic,

00:36:26.740 I don't know how that survives.

00:36:28.500 I just don't understand it. 0.99

00:36:29.960 It's so useless. 0.83

00:36:30.920 I guess it's just families with kids or something.

00:36:35.200 But you couldn't just put that on Instagram?

00:36:37.460 I don't know.

00:36:39.540 So anyway, it's the only place with context and here is an example of that.

00:36:45.260 So there's a bunch of stories about Justice Thomas

00:36:47.420 who took a bunch of trips, including international trips.

00:36:52.120 He took 109 reported trips since 1991 and five international trips.

00:36:56.740 And I guess the story is that he has a rich friend who brings him along on trips.

00:37:02.200 Now, I don't know why I thought about this,

00:37:05.080 but the rich friend is a conservative and Justice Thomas is a conservative.

00:37:10.240 And the concern is that Justice Thomas would be influenced by his friend

00:37:15.320 because he's getting a lot of monetary benefit from traveling with him.

00:37:19.760 And then somebody else said,

00:37:21.220 and I don't know why this wasn't the first thing that came to my mind, 0.88

00:37:23.900 but it made me feel stupid for not saying it first.

00:37:26.820 And somebody said, 0.70

00:37:27.760 do you really think that Justice Thomas needs to be bribed to have conservative opinions?

00:37:34.720 And I thought, okay, that makes sense.

00:37:38.200 He's literally unbribable because his opinions have always been the same.

00:37:44.460 You can see a whole history of his opinion never changing, basically.

00:37:47.660 And it's always been on one side.

00:37:50.560 You could predict it a year in advance.

00:37:53.720 What would giving him money change?

00:37:56.380 Was he going to become a liberal because you didn't bribe him enough?

00:38:01.520 He's basically unbribable by his existence. 0.56

00:38:06.880 He might be the least bribable human being on the planet. 1.00

00:38:11.980 Because no matter how much money you give him,

00:38:15.460 you can still predict a year in advance what he would have voted.

00:38:19.720 Am I wrong?

00:38:21.200 Isn't he the most predictable vote on the court?

00:38:25.660 Am I wrong?

00:38:26.480 Well, I'm sure the liberals are as predictable.

00:38:31.000 There's only, what, two swing justices?

00:38:34.360 Are there three?

00:38:36.300 Or are there two swing justices now?

00:38:38.260 Give me, it's Roberts?

00:38:43.000 Or is it just Roberts?

00:38:46.340 You think Kavanaugh in some cases?

00:38:48.220 Maybe.

00:38:49.320 All right.

00:38:50.000 Well, if he's not a swing voter, how in the world can you, how?

00:38:57.340 How could you possibly bribe somebody who's always going to act the same no matter what?

00:39:02.280 I don't know.

00:39:02.780 Now, I would agree that I don't like the look of it.

00:39:05.760 And I'll say the same thing that I said about Biden and his situation with foreign benefit.

00:39:14.840 Even if there are no laws broken, if you're a public servant, you kind of have to adhere to the appearance of impropriety.

00:39:24.340 I feel like at that level they have to manage to appearance.

00:39:28.140 What do you say?

00:39:29.160 It's obviously his right, and he didn't break any laws.

00:39:32.820 Nobody's accusing him of breaking a law.

00:39:34.500 So he has every right to do it, and I support him in his right to do it, as he would support me.

00:39:41.600 There's your reciprocity right there.

00:39:43.600 I'm pretty sure that Justice Thomas would support me if my freedom were taken away in some unconstitutional way.

00:39:51.060 So I'm going to support him.

00:39:53.100 I guess I'll do the same.

00:39:54.720 As long as it's legal, apparently it's transparent, because we know the actual numbers, and he's traveling around with somebody who just happens to agree with him on everything.

00:40:05.980 He has that right.

00:40:07.800 I might not like it.

00:40:09.700 It makes me a little uncomfortable.

00:40:11.720 It makes me a little uncomfortable.

00:40:13.240 But you know what?

00:40:13.880 If I were doing something that made Justice Thomas a little bit uncomfortable, he'd still back me, as long as I was within the law, right?

00:40:24.240 So the fact that he makes me uncomfortable with that association, not good enough.

00:40:31.900 I'm going to back him on the law, same as he would for me, I think.

00:40:35.940 All right, but here's the context that Steve Guest helpfully provided.

00:40:43.320 Sure, Justice Thomas took 109 trips, including five international since 1991.

00:40:48.460 I wonder if anybody else acted that way.

00:40:50.720 Well, as Steve Guest points out, RBG, who was appointed in 1993, took 157 trips and 28 international.

00:41:00.440 Stephen Steffen, or Stephen Breyer, appointed in 1994, took 233 trips and 63 international trips.

00:41:08.860 So apparently Justice Thomas is not traveling nearly as much as those two had.

00:41:14.240 Does that matter to you?

00:41:17.440 I don't know.

00:41:19.100 I guess I'm similarly uncomfortable.

00:41:21.680 But I also believe that RBG and Stephen Breyer probably were not influenced in any way, right?

00:41:33.060 But I'm not super happy with it.

00:41:35.860 Now, the Biden standard is different because we saw the flow of money.

00:41:41.820 The fact that he may or may not have done something illegal is a little less important than the fact that we can see the flow of money.

00:41:49.760 It's one thing to go on a trip with a rich person.

00:41:53.960 And I think I've explained this before.

00:41:56.140 The rich person needs other people to go with them on trips or they don't have fun, right?

00:42:00.860 It's part of the fun.

00:42:01.740 Other people that you like being with you.

00:42:03.680 But if the other people can't go on a luxury vacation because they can't afford it,

00:42:07.960 and you can afford it for a million people,

00:42:11.260 it doesn't really make sense for you not to pay for their trip

00:42:14.320 because you're just basically buying yourself a friend.

00:42:17.800 So I don't mind that people buy themselves friends to go on trips.

00:42:23.620 It's just a fun trip.

00:42:25.000 I don't think that any of these people change their votes because of it.

00:42:28.680 And it's very different to me that somebody goes along on a private plane

00:42:33.860 that was going to go there anyway

00:42:35.560 and then gets on the yacht that was already bought and already owned.

00:42:39.620 That's different than somebody actually sending cash.

00:42:42.080 Sending cash is a whole different animal.

00:42:46.280 And so Biden's in a different conversation there.

00:42:53.980 CNN is reporting that support for funding Ukraine is starting to erode.

00:43:00.400 I wonder why.

00:43:06.280 Is there anything happening over there that would erode your confidence in funding?

00:43:12.080 Could it be learning about the Biden criminal enterprise?

00:43:18.600 Could it be that now we are not so sure this is all about making America safer?

00:43:24.080 Because it doesn't look like it's making America safer.

00:43:28.240 It doesn't look like it at all.

00:43:30.280 It looks expensive.

00:43:32.000 And here's the question that I ask you.

00:43:35.640 Would you support a war, funding a war,

00:43:38.960 that could be ended in a day with any president except Joe Biden?

00:43:44.720 Now, I don't know that that's true,

00:43:46.920 but I can tell you it feels true.

00:43:49.620 It feels true. 0.59

00:43:51.320 Do you know why?

00:43:52.000 Because I'm pretty sure that a capable person could end this in a day.

00:43:56.540 Now, Trump's famously said that first.

00:43:59.580 But I think Ramaswamy could do it.

00:44:01.840 I think DeSantis could do it.

00:44:03.680 I think RFK Jr. could do it.

00:44:05.880 I think they all could end it in a day.

00:44:07.940 I believe the only person who can't

00:44:09.620 is the one that you have some questions about his loyalty to the country

00:44:13.840 versus his checking account.

00:44:16.560 And you have good reason to believe that.

00:44:18.460 Because he had a lot of trips to Ukraine,

00:44:21.580 and they got a lot of money from Ukraine.

00:44:23.320 That doesn't seem related.

00:44:25.020 Well, it does seem related to policy, actually.

00:44:30.140 All right.

00:44:30.920 So I don't know why.

00:44:34.140 I think these two things should be separated.

00:44:36.200 I think monetary support for Ukraine,

00:44:41.980 which might have a good argument.

00:44:44.080 There might be some argument for it that I'm not aware of.

00:44:47.360 So let's just say there's an argument for and against supporting Ukraine.

00:44:51.620 Here's what you have to say is a no-go.

00:44:55.240 Here's what's a no-go for me.

00:44:57.240 Sending massive money to Ukraine

00:44:59.580 at the same time that Joe Biden is president.

00:45:03.780 You have to pick one.

00:45:06.580 Pick one.

00:45:08.240 Because the war has no credibility

00:45:10.460 when the only person who is gained financially

00:45:13.320 from the situation is in charge.

00:45:16.120 Right?

00:45:16.640 You need somebody that you have confidence

00:45:19.000 does not have a monetary interest

00:45:21.080 to be in that job,

00:45:23.700 and then you can ask me for money.

00:45:25.580 All right?

00:45:27.060 Let me act this out for you.

00:45:29.820 Scott, would you like to give some money to support Ukraine?

00:45:33.500 I'd be like, you know,

00:45:34.600 I feel sorry for the Ukrainian people. 1.00

00:45:36.420 I don't like Putin.

00:45:38.200 You know, I'm actually open to that.

00:45:40.380 I might want to give some money

00:45:41.340 to help the Ukrainians defend themselves.

00:45:45.440 And then I say, great, give us some money,

00:45:48.460 and we'll run this through the government,

00:45:50.800 through Joe Biden.

00:45:52.080 And I go, what?

00:45:53.280 What?

00:45:54.200 Oh, you're saying the sum of my money

00:45:56.600 will have in some way indirectly

00:45:59.520 be controlled by the president,

00:46:01.380 or maybe, you know,

00:46:03.760 there's some way that they can make money off of this?

00:46:08.340 And then I say, okay, then I change my mind.

00:46:10.680 I still, you know, I love the Ukrainian people.

00:46:12.940 I want them to do well.

00:46:14.340 Don't want Russia to take over the country. 0.88

00:46:16.120 But I'm not going to give a penny

00:46:18.120 to the guy who's being bribed by Ukraine, apparently.

00:46:23.220 Now, I don't know that he is,

00:46:24.680 but I would say it looks like it.

00:46:26.920 So this is one of those appearance of conflict problems.

00:46:32.240 Do I know for sure that Joe Biden has ever made a decision

00:46:35.540 that was because he was making money

00:46:38.300 or Hunter was making money that could also benefit him?

00:46:41.240 Do I know for sure?

00:46:42.220 Well, you know, that prosecutor situation

00:46:45.140 looks really sketchy, doesn't it?

00:46:47.680 But do you think you know anything for sure about Ukraine? 0.95

00:46:51.460 If you ask me to, you know, gun to my head,

00:46:54.400 Scott, do you think the prosecutor situation was legit?

00:46:59.700 Or do you think Biden was doing it

00:47:01.160 for, you know, Hunter's situation there?

00:47:03.440 I would say probably for Hunter's situation.

00:47:07.120 It seems, I'm going to say 60-40.

00:47:09.420 60% likely it's exactly what you thought it was,

00:47:14.200 that he was doing a favor for Burisma

00:47:16.340 because Hunter was on the board.

00:47:18.780 60% chance.

00:47:19.980 But the 40% that I'm completely wrong about that,

00:47:23.980 and maybe he was just a bad guy

00:47:25.420 who needed to go or something,

00:47:27.120 it seems unlikely.

00:47:28.380 Now, I'm going to change it 80-20.

00:47:32.060 As I'm thinking about it,

00:47:33.680 I had to go to 80-20.

00:47:35.860 80% chance it's exactly what it looks like

00:47:38.400 that there was essentially bribery.

00:47:42.380 Because I can't think of any case

00:47:44.000 where the Vice President of the United States

00:47:46.380 was dealing with anybody else's prosecutor.

00:47:50.920 I mean, it's kind of an unusual situation.

00:47:53.820 So that should be your big red flag there.

00:47:55.880 It's like, why is he even in that business at all?

00:47:58.180 Why is that even a conversation?

00:48:00.400 You know, we're not doing it anywhere else, are we?

00:48:03.880 Except Pakistan. 0.88

00:48:04.800 Apparently, we removed the head of Pakistan.

00:48:09.320 It's a separate story.

00:48:13.440 Anyway, so the bottom line is,

00:48:15.420 no money for Ukraine 0.96

00:48:17.300 as long as Biden's the one in charge of the money.

00:48:22.320 And maybe no money for Ukraine, no matter who.

00:48:26.120 But I'm not going to listen to the argument

00:48:27.720 as long as Biden's in charge.

00:48:29.720 Does that sound fair?

00:48:30.500 You don't have to even listen to the argument.

00:48:34.600 You do not have to listen to why it's good or bad

00:48:37.080 to give money to Ukraine.

00:48:38.300 You only have to know that the person who's asking for it

00:48:41.080 is clearly the only person on the planet Earth

00:48:44.000 who can't ask me for that.

00:48:46.620 There are 8 billion people on Earth.

00:48:49.340 I'm not going to name them.

00:48:50.860 That would take too long. 0.99

00:48:51.920 But every one of those fucking 8 billion people, 1.00

00:48:56.080 every one of them, 0.99

00:48:57.740 has more credibility asking for money for Ukraine 1.00

00:49:01.620 than that one fucking asshole, Joe Biden. 1.00

00:49:05.280 He's the only asshole in the world that I wouldn't trust 1.00

00:49:08.120 when he says, give me money for Ukraine. 1.00

00:49:10.740 The only one.

00:49:11.620 There's nobody else.

00:49:12.740 Not even another Democrat.

00:49:14.960 You could put Adam Schiff or Eric Swalwell in those jobs.

00:49:20.080 You know, my least favorite Democrats.

00:49:22.960 And I would still say, okay, make your argument.

00:49:26.500 I'll listen to your argument.

00:49:27.580 But I'm not going to listen to Joe Biden's argument.

00:49:30.560 He has completely sacrificed his right

00:49:33.640 to even ask for the money.

00:49:37.400 I won't hear it from him.

00:49:39.820 Anybody else, I'll listen.

00:49:41.460 You know, I might not give you money,

00:49:42.860 but I'll listen to it.

00:49:46.080 All right.

00:49:47.480 So, yeah, I guess there's a reason why that

00:49:49.540 support for Ukrainian funding is eroded.

00:49:52.940 That and the fact that the counteroffensive

00:49:54.620 is now non-existent.

00:49:56.820 Do you see a lot of reporting

00:49:57.840 about that old counteroffensive?

00:50:00.940 No.

00:50:01.820 There's no counteroffensive.

00:50:03.000 I mean, there might be some actions

00:50:05.440 that they call a counteroffensive,

00:50:06.940 but there's nothing happening.

00:50:08.920 You know, no territories changing hands.

00:50:12.180 You know, nobody's at the edge of surrender.

00:50:15.780 Nothing.

00:50:16.100 So, why would you give money to that?

00:50:21.580 Why would you give money to that?

00:50:24.800 I don't get it.

00:50:27.280 There's a technology that's coming along pretty fast.

00:50:31.260 Have you seen the robot dogs?

00:50:33.080 I'm going to tie this into Ukraine in a moment.

00:50:35.440 The robot dogs.

00:50:37.100 Apparently, somebody has made a little robot dog

00:50:39.400 that will follow you around

00:50:41.160 and shake hands and roll over and stuff.

00:50:44.080 And I thought to myself,

00:50:45.100 that little robot dog,

00:50:47.640 if you sent a fleet of them across the ground

00:50:50.740 at dug-in Russian positions,

00:50:55.420 imagine how scary that would be.

00:50:57.540 Imagine being in a trench,

00:51:00.080 and you look over it,

00:51:00.940 you look over the trench,

00:51:01.860 and you see coming over the hill

00:51:03.300 a stampede of robot dogs

00:51:06.300 that are suicide dogs.

00:51:09.740 They just run toward the trench,

00:51:12.180 recognize a human,

00:51:13.620 and they recognize that the human's

00:51:15.060 in whatever the GPS attack zone is,

00:51:18.140 so they don't get the wrong humans.

00:51:20.100 They just run at it,

00:51:21.180 they see a trench,

00:51:22.180 they jump in the trench,

00:51:23.320 boom.

00:51:26.220 They'd basically be suicide dogs.

00:51:28.460 Do you think that trench warfare

00:51:32.900 would even work

00:51:33.960 if you had a wave of robot dogs?

00:51:40.120 Because the robot dogs would be

00:51:42.040 blowing up the landmines as they go,

00:51:45.000 but you have lots of them.

00:51:46.560 So the first wave just takes out,

00:51:48.540 most of the first wave gets blown up

00:51:50.340 by landmines

00:51:51.720 and machine guns and stuff.

00:51:54.540 Let's say half of them get through.

00:51:55.920 Now there are only half as many machine guns

00:51:58.640 the next time they send the second wave,

00:52:00.960 and a lot of the mines

00:52:03.140 have been exploded.

00:52:04.620 So the first wave of robot dogs

00:52:06.840 would just be to attract fire

00:52:09.360 and blow up the landmines.

00:52:13.200 But by the third or fourth wave

00:52:15.180 of robot dogs,

00:52:16.980 I would think you could clear

00:52:18.140 all the trenches.

00:52:21.800 Doesn't it seem like that's the technology

00:52:23.800 that Ukraine needs?

00:52:25.140 So they've got lots of stuff in the air,

00:52:27.580 but I think the stuff in the air

00:52:29.300 has a limited benefit

00:52:31.880 against a trench.

00:52:35.560 Just guessing.

00:52:36.560 I mean, you wouldn't want

00:52:37.360 a drone overhead of your trench either,

00:52:40.300 but there are fewer drones in the air.

00:52:43.560 You would need like, you know,

00:52:45.220 let's say you had

00:52:46.240 a thousand robot dogs.

00:52:49.760 You don't think that would be enough

00:52:51.100 to punch through the front lines?

00:52:52.320 I think a thousand exploding robot dogs

00:52:56.540 would be able to punch through

00:52:57.560 the Russian lines.

00:53:00.380 That's what I think.

00:53:01.840 A thousand robot dogs,

00:53:03.380 and Ukraine's back in business.

00:53:05.020 But I think the war is over.

00:53:06.440 It's just a negotiation at this point.

00:53:08.200 Waiting for Trump.

00:53:09.960 Or Ramaswamy.

00:53:11.700 We're waiting for something.

00:53:12.580 All right, Max Boot.

00:53:15.260 You all know Max Boot.

00:53:16.860 He's a sort of a Clinton loyalist,

00:53:20.520 Democrat, absurd figure. 0.56

00:53:22.960 There are some figures 0.89

00:53:24.220 that are more absurd than others 0.98

00:53:25.840 because they've made ridiculous claims 0.93

00:53:28.360 in the past. 0.78

00:53:29.740 But I thought this was a fake.

00:53:32.700 I thought somebody had mocked up an image,

00:53:35.440 and I thought this can't possibly

00:53:37.060 actually be happening.

00:53:38.220 But if you don't know this,

00:53:41.240 Max Boot went on CNN

00:53:42.440 with a big chart

00:53:43.520 with the 18 reasons

00:53:45.360 Trump might be a Russian asset.

00:53:49.700 That really happened.

00:53:53.240 Oh my God.

00:53:55.880 And I said to myself, 0.99

00:53:57.560 we're not dumb enough 0.99

00:53:58.340 to fall for that again, are we? 0.99

00:54:00.020 And then I thought,

00:54:01.840 his base is. 1.00

00:54:03.780 His base is absolutely dumb enough 1.00

00:54:06.160 to believe that a revived 1.00

00:54:09.040 Russia collusion is real.

00:54:11.620 And when you say to yourself,

00:54:13.400 well, we're not going to get fooled again,

00:54:16.140 sure we will.

00:54:17.460 I mean, not the people

00:54:18.900 on the political right.

00:54:20.360 They weren't fooled last time.

00:54:21.940 But the people on the left

00:54:23.080 absolutely will be fooled.

00:54:24.760 Yeah.

00:54:25.340 Max Boot has 18 reasons

00:54:26.820 why Trump might be a Russian asset.

00:54:29.100 You don't think that convinced

00:54:30.300 20% of his base

00:54:31.520 that it's probably true?

00:54:33.500 I'll bet it did.

00:54:34.140 I'll bet it did.

00:54:37.200 And to me,

00:54:38.040 the crossover line

00:54:40.020 between parody and humor,

00:54:42.100 I actually thought

00:54:43.500 it might have been

00:54:44.100 from the Babylon Bee,

00:54:46.420 a satire.

00:54:47.680 Because when I saw

00:54:48.780 that in 2023,

00:54:52.180 that Max Boot, 0.90

00:54:53.220 who's a ridiculous character 0.98

00:54:54.820 to begin with, 0.98

00:54:56.100 that he would actually

00:54:57.120 go on TV

00:54:57.780 with 18 reasons

00:54:58.900 why Trump might,

00:55:00.480 might be a Russian asset.

00:55:02.240 and CNN aired that.

00:55:05.080 CNN allowed that on the air

00:55:06.580 like that was of value.

00:55:09.900 Oh, my God.

00:55:11.600 I mean,

00:55:12.000 doesn't that seem

00:55:12.840 more like a joke

00:55:13.700 than reality?

00:55:15.560 That he would be,

00:55:17.400 you know,

00:55:18.420 re-upping

00:55:18.980 the Russia collusion thing?

00:55:20.800 The most debunked hoax

00:55:22.440 of all time.

00:55:23.340 And he would just,

00:55:24.180 just shamelessly revive it.

00:55:26.400 Because it's another election.

00:55:29.020 Amazing.

00:55:30.260 I don't know.

00:55:31.080 I hate to even talk

00:55:32.200 about this kind of news

00:55:33.300 because I don't have

00:55:36.140 anything to say about it

00:55:37.140 except my head explodes

00:55:38.200 when I say it like,

00:55:39.100 blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:55:40.060 So that's not much commentary.

00:55:43.600 Trump's been indicted

00:55:44.560 for the Hawaii wildfires.

00:55:47.140 All right.

00:55:47.300 That's not real.

00:55:48.940 But could you tell?

00:55:51.240 Right?

00:55:52.640 Parody sounds,

00:55:53.680 I mean,

00:55:54.660 if you told me

00:55:55.960 there was a play

00:55:56.980 where Trump could be

00:55:58.440 indicted for the

00:55:59.200 Hawaii wildfires,

00:56:01.080 I'd probably say

00:56:02.400 sounds real.

00:56:05.340 Sounds real.

00:56:06.540 Well,

00:56:07.160 speaking of campaigning,

00:56:09.160 Vivek Ramaswamy,

00:56:11.020 he's on Russell Brand,

00:56:12.560 which that just dropped.

00:56:14.200 And also,

00:56:15.460 he's answering questions

00:56:16.560 on Candace Owens.

00:56:18.560 So,

00:56:19.240 I'll say it again.

00:56:22.060 It's another news cycle.

00:56:23.680 where Vivek owns

00:56:25.360 the news cycle

00:56:26.120 for the primary anyway.

00:56:29.340 And,

00:56:29.700 you know,

00:56:29.880 Trump's perpetually

00:56:30.980 in the news,

00:56:31.640 no matter what the news is.

00:56:33.040 But Vivek is just

00:56:34.180 killing it.

00:56:35.600 And I feel like 0.99

00:56:36.680 there's an energy shift

00:56:37.880 that I think,

00:56:40.980 I think Vivek

00:56:42.160 has broken the seal.

00:56:44.820 I felt like he was under,

00:56:46.520 he was like in a,

00:56:47.400 in a bubble

00:56:48.220 that he couldn't get out of.

00:56:49.460 Because all the,

00:56:50.240 the so-called minor

00:56:51.220 candidates,

00:56:51.680 you know,

00:56:53.420 they're,

00:56:53.640 they're all subsidiary

00:56:54.620 to DeSantis

00:56:55.460 and to Trump.

00:56:56.740 But because DeSantis

00:56:58.160 faltered,

00:56:59.840 and it's always more fun

00:57:01.420 to talk about

00:57:02.040 who might be in second place,

00:57:04.140 as soon as second place

00:57:05.520 was in play,

00:57:07.540 I think his,

00:57:08.960 his message

00:57:10.040 started gaining power.

00:57:11.640 But like I told you before,

00:57:13.820 you can't have one candidate

00:57:16.400 who's absolutely massacring

00:57:19.180 the news cycle

00:57:20.560 day after day

00:57:22.040 with innovative,

00:57:24.120 well-executed,

00:57:25.860 quick content

00:57:27.880 that,

00:57:28.760 you know,

00:57:29.060 is right on the news.

00:57:30.320 You can't do that every day

00:57:32.100 for like months at a time

00:57:34.040 before all the smart people notice.

00:57:37.480 Am I right?

00:57:38.720 It's,

00:57:39.200 it's really,

00:57:39.860 no he didn't.

00:57:41.660 I saw the Ron Watkins

00:57:42.940 exposing,

00:57:44.820 look into that, 1.00

00:57:45.800 that was all bullshit. 0.99

00:57:47.140 All that's been debunked 1.00

00:57:48.600 and you should be ashamed

00:57:50.300 of yourself

00:57:50.720 if you bought into it.

00:57:52.020 Really.

00:57:52.820 You should be ashamed

00:57:53.560 of yourself.

00:57:54.700 Use your tools

00:57:55.660 of discernment

00:57:56.500 on the Vivek stuff.

00:57:59.380 Just,

00:57:59.640 just use everything

00:58:00.540 I taught you.

00:58:01.420 It'll,

00:58:01.760 it'll all be clear. 1.00

00:58:02.660 It's all bullshit. 0.99

00:58:05.520 Anyway, 0.99

00:58:05.960 it feels like

00:58:07.060 Vivek is rising

00:58:08.300 and he's broken down

00:58:09.400 of his little

00:58:10.460 captured news bubble.

00:58:12.260 What do you say?

00:58:14.480 Do you,

00:58:14.840 do you think he's reached

00:58:15.920 like just this week?

00:58:17.880 Do you feel like

00:58:18.640 he's reached another level?

00:58:22.980 Seeing some yeses?

00:58:24.800 Because it's all about

00:58:25.780 how you feel about it,

00:58:27.040 right?

00:58:27.780 You know,

00:58:28.020 forget the data.

00:58:29.180 How you feel about it,

00:58:30.540 I feel that's changed.

00:58:37.000 She just destroyed him 0.69

00:58:38.520 on her podcast.

00:58:39.640 Did she?

00:58:42.100 Well,

00:58:42.800 I'm sure that

00:58:43.940 that would be

00:58:44.360 a subjective opinion.

00:58:46.560 All right.

00:58:47.160 I have an update

00:58:48.220 from Hawaii.

00:58:51.280 And it's not a good one.

00:58:53.760 But I didn't think

00:58:54.800 I could not tell you.

00:58:57.800 Now,

00:58:58.340 this is not reported

00:58:59.360 on the news.

00:59:00.540 So I have,

00:59:01.280 I have a source.

00:59:03.540 I won't mention the source,

00:59:04.740 just an individual

00:59:05.540 who has strong

00:59:08.220 connections there.

00:59:09.360 And this is the part,

00:59:11.460 it's so horrible,

00:59:13.800 I almost wasn't

00:59:14.520 going to say it.

00:59:15.140 But somebody,

00:59:17.120 somebody knows well,

00:59:18.300 who's reporting

00:59:18.920 that he drove

00:59:20.140 from Pua Mana

00:59:22.320 to Waikuli,

00:59:24.840 which I think

00:59:25.640 is basically

00:59:26.260 through Lahaina.

00:59:27.460 and he said that

00:59:29.460 there's cars

00:59:31.840 with dead bodies

00:59:33.000 all the way.

00:59:34.460 So I hope

00:59:50.100 that's an exaggeration,

00:59:51.300 but I don't think

00:59:51.860 it is.

00:59:52.960 I don't think

00:59:53.520 it is.

00:59:56.340 I think there's

00:59:57.380 five miles

00:59:59.160 of dead bodies

01:00:00.020 in cars,

01:00:00.660 so

01:00:00.780 I hate

01:00:02.120 to say it.

01:00:03.360 It might

01:00:03.760 actually be true.

01:00:05.660 So I think

01:00:06.560 people are

01:00:07.180 expecting the

01:00:08.260 body count

01:00:08.880 to soar.

01:00:10.660 Because right now

01:00:11.560 they just don't

01:00:12.300 have the services

01:00:12.940 to find everybody

01:00:13.960 and count them.

01:00:15.200 I mean,

01:00:15.600 it's just too much

01:00:16.200 chaos there.

01:00:16.800 So it couldn't

01:00:18.500 get much worse.

01:00:20.120 So I don't know

01:00:21.080 what the governments

01:00:21.680 are doing to help.

01:00:22.940 I assume people

01:00:23.800 are getting

01:00:24.200 at least food

01:00:25.120 and water.

01:00:26.580 At least food

01:00:27.460 and water.

01:00:28.760 But, you know,

01:00:29.460 the good news

01:00:30.020 about Hawaii

01:00:30.580 is you don't

01:00:31.360 need shelter.

01:00:32.960 It's the only

01:00:33.940 place I know

01:00:34.640 of where you

01:00:35.520 literally don't

01:00:36.200 need shelter.

01:00:37.260 You know,

01:00:37.440 you could sleep

01:00:38.300 outside under

01:00:39.240 a palm tree

01:00:40.080 if you had a

01:00:41.020 blanket.

01:00:41.600 That's all you

01:00:42.000 need.

01:00:42.180 You need shade.

01:00:46.980 Yeah,

01:00:47.240 you need shade.

01:00:47.820 So you want to

01:00:48.460 get under a tree

01:00:49.100 probably.

01:00:50.760 Yeah,

01:00:51.180 it's just the

01:00:51.820 worst thing.

01:00:54.860 So,

01:00:55.560 anyway,

01:00:56.040 keep your

01:00:58.380 good vibes

01:00:59.400 up for

01:01:00.120 Maui.

01:01:05.520 Yeah.

01:01:07.820 I think I only

01:01:08.740 told my

01:01:09.380 tsunami story

01:01:10.780 on the

01:01:11.480 man cave.

01:01:13.020 Well,

01:01:13.560 I'll do the

01:01:14.220 brief version.

01:01:15.660 So I happened

01:01:16.300 to visit Maui

01:01:17.140 when the tsunami,

01:01:18.380 this was a

01:01:19.160 number of years

01:01:19.580 ago.

01:01:20.960 I landed on

01:01:21.940 the day that

01:01:22.400 the tsunami

01:01:22.980 was announced.

01:01:24.040 It was headed

01:01:24.500 toward the

01:01:24.920 island.

01:01:26.240 So I had

01:01:27.320 to stay in

01:01:28.000 the seventh

01:01:28.560 floor of the

01:01:29.600 place we were

01:01:30.380 staying.

01:01:30.880 This was with

01:01:31.580 my first wife

01:01:32.360 and two kids.

01:01:33.780 And the bottom

01:01:34.680 of the building

01:01:35.200 was evacuated

01:01:36.140 because they

01:01:36.700 thought that the

01:01:37.320 wave would be

01:01:38.080 at least that

01:01:38.620 high.

01:01:40.000 That's right.

01:01:40.700 I was told

01:01:42.220 to stay in a

01:01:42.960 building on the

01:01:43.520 beach as the

01:01:45.680 tsunami came

01:01:47.620 and they weren't

01:01:48.040 quite sure how

01:01:48.640 big it would be.

01:01:50.760 And then it

01:01:51.520 goes completely

01:01:52.180 dark because it

01:01:54.160 was going to come

01:01:54.660 in the middle of

01:01:55.080 the night.

01:01:55.440 They can predict

01:01:56.240 because they know

01:01:56.760 where it is and

01:01:57.360 how fast it's

01:01:58.120 traveling.

01:01:59.140 But they don't

01:01:59.620 know how big

01:02:00.020 it'll be because

01:02:01.060 it depends on the

01:02:01.800 topography below

01:02:02.920 the ocean of

01:02:04.580 where it hits.

01:02:05.060 So I spent

01:02:06.780 the night

01:02:07.300 waiting for a

01:02:09.000 tsunami that

01:02:09.980 was going to

01:02:10.320 hit my

01:02:10.720 building downstairs

01:02:12.220 and we were

01:02:13.920 on the seventh

01:02:14.580 but the fourth

01:02:16.720 floor and down

01:02:17.520 were evacuated

01:02:18.320 because it was

01:02:18.740 too dangerous.

01:02:21.040 And I had to

01:02:21.580 you know I did

01:02:22.260 a lot of like

01:02:22.840 engineering in my

01:02:23.880 head.

01:02:24.820 I'm like all

01:02:25.320 right this

01:02:26.560 building isn't

01:02:27.220 going to fall

01:02:27.760 down right?

01:02:30.640 I'm still going

01:02:31.520 to be able to

01:02:31.980 get from the

01:02:32.560 seventh floor to

01:02:33.300 the bottom floor

01:02:34.040 when this is over

01:02:34.840 right?

01:02:36.080 Like I didn't

01:02:36.600 know exactly

01:02:37.220 what could

01:02:37.640 happen when

01:02:38.140 a tsunami

01:02:38.640 hits the

01:02:39.060 bottom of

01:02:39.500 your building.

01:02:41.620 So what

01:02:43.120 did happen

01:02:43.700 was thankfully

01:02:47.740 it was less

01:02:48.920 than it could

01:02:49.460 have been.

01:02:50.160 So the tsunami

01:02:51.060 probably took

01:02:51.940 out the first

01:02:52.740 floor.

01:02:53.680 So I think

01:02:54.080 the first floor

01:02:54.700 got pretty much

01:02:55.500 wiped out.

01:02:56.820 But you know

01:02:57.500 they recovered

01:02:58.000 quickly.

01:02:59.080 But the next

01:02:59.980 day when you

01:03:01.700 wake up the

01:03:02.900 only food we

01:03:03.660 had was the

01:03:04.520 like stuff

01:03:05.560 that we

01:03:05.840 didn't eat

01:03:06.300 on the

01:03:06.600 plane.

01:03:07.640 You know

01:03:07.780 some snacks

01:03:08.360 we had in

01:03:08.780 our bags.

01:03:09.680 That's it.

01:03:10.680 And there

01:03:11.080 wasn't any

01:03:11.620 place else

01:03:12.120 to get

01:03:12.580 food.

01:03:16.840 Right.

01:03:17.460 Family of

01:03:18.040 four there

01:03:19.160 was no place

01:03:19.740 to get food.

01:03:21.220 And so we

01:03:21.640 did what

01:03:22.040 everybody was

01:03:22.720 doing.

01:03:23.180 We foraged.

01:03:24.660 We actually

01:03:25.420 had to go

01:03:25.860 find if there

01:03:26.600 was a way

01:03:26.920 to find food.

01:03:28.140 So we had

01:03:28.540 gas in the

01:03:29.880 rental cars.

01:03:30.560 We drove

01:03:31.000 around and

01:03:31.640 everything was

01:03:33.140 closed and

01:03:34.020 there was just

01:03:34.920 no food.

01:03:35.940 Now we found

01:03:36.460 a place that

01:03:36.960 had some

01:03:37.340 pastries like

01:03:39.580 a coffee shop.

01:03:41.460 And like we're

01:03:41.960 like eating a

01:03:42.880 little pastries

01:03:43.520 because we don't

01:03:44.080 know the next

01:03:44.540 time we'll have

01:03:45.480 food.

01:03:46.280 You know there's

01:03:46.560 like a line

01:03:47.180 around the

01:03:47.760 corner for just

01:03:48.440 the pastries.

01:03:49.400 So we had to

01:03:50.040 just sit there

01:03:50.480 in line.

01:03:51.720 So I had

01:03:52.960 I would say

01:03:54.360 my experience

01:03:55.160 and then by the

01:03:55.940 end of the day

01:03:56.940 you know things

01:03:57.880 were getting back

01:03:58.420 to normal.

01:03:59.060 So my

01:03:59.840 experience was

01:04:00.620 you know 1%

01:04:01.500 as bad as

01:04:03.660 what's happening

01:04:04.300 right now.

01:04:04.680 Just 1%.

01:04:05.440 It was just

01:04:06.060 inconvenient and

01:04:07.140 I you know

01:04:07.700 lost half a pound

01:04:08.860 for not eating

01:04:09.460 for half a day.

01:04:10.800 But I can't

01:04:12.560 even imagine

01:04:13.140 what it would

01:04:14.080 be like to be

01:04:14.680 on an island

01:04:15.400 with no water,

01:04:17.940 no phone,

01:04:19.700 no electricity

01:04:20.560 and whatever

01:04:22.480 you had in your

01:04:22.980 refrigerator is

01:04:23.680 probably starting

01:04:24.580 to spoil.

01:04:26.200 And that's a 1.00

01:04:27.000 scary fucking 0.99

01:04:27.580 thing. 1.00

01:04:27.900 And you don't

01:04:28.700 even know

01:04:28.960 where family

01:04:29.440 members are.

01:04:30.220 Remember they

01:04:30.640 don't have

01:04:30.980 phones.

01:04:32.040 There are

01:04:32.260 people who

01:04:32.640 don't know

01:04:33.020 where members

01:04:33.500 of their

01:04:33.780 family are

01:04:34.400 even today.

01:04:36.180 They don't

01:04:36.500 know.

01:04:38.420 It's bad

01:04:39.180 beyond even

01:04:39.880 imagination there.

01:04:41.720 Alright,

01:04:42.200 so I don't

01:04:42.520 want to bring

01:04:42.900 you down

01:04:43.360 but that's

01:04:45.120 the real

01:04:45.440 world.

01:04:46.140 Real world.

01:04:49.660 Well there's

01:04:50.320 a lot of

01:04:51.040 places that

01:04:51.580 didn't burn

01:04:52.060 down that

01:04:52.780 don't have

01:04:53.140 electricity.

01:04:53.620 electricity.

01:04:58.560 Regarding

01:04:59.200 a mission

01:04:59.800 election.

01:05:01.260 Well, let

01:05:03.760 me say this

01:05:04.200 about the

01:05:04.540 election

01:05:04.900 integrity.

01:05:06.200 I may have

01:05:06.700 said this

01:05:07.080 only also

01:05:07.720 in the

01:05:08.080 man cave

01:05:08.640 but I'll

01:05:09.100 say it

01:05:09.420 publicly.

01:05:11.940 For reasons

01:05:12.920 I don't

01:05:13.320 understand,

01:05:14.000 reality does

01:05:15.080 seem to

01:05:15.540 follow a

01:05:16.200 three-act

01:05:16.920 most amusing

01:05:18.400 script.

01:05:19.500 It

01:05:20.380 shouldn't.

01:05:21.380 There's no

01:05:21.760 reason it

01:05:22.260 should but

01:05:23.380 it seems

01:05:23.760 to.

01:05:24.320 I don't

01:05:24.640 know why.

01:05:25.980 And so

01:05:26.360 Trump's

01:05:26.900 third act

01:05:27.620 would clearly

01:05:28.200 be January

01:05:28.880 6th.

01:05:29.820 Meaning the

01:05:30.420 thing that

01:05:31.080 if you were

01:05:31.600 viewing it

01:05:32.140 as a movie

01:05:32.620 you would

01:05:32.960 say well

01:05:33.280 that's the

01:05:33.640 end of him

01:05:34.080 for sure.

01:05:35.280 He lost

01:05:35.960 his second

01:05:36.380 term and

01:05:37.340 not only did

01:05:37.980 he lose

01:05:38.340 it he could

01:05:39.300 end up in

01:05:39.840 jail and

01:05:41.380 if he doesn't

01:05:41.820 end up in

01:05:42.220 jail at the

01:05:42.840 very least he

01:05:43.460 couldn't

01:05:43.700 possibly run

01:05:44.360 for president

01:05:44.860 again.

01:05:45.940 That's the

01:05:46.320 third act.

01:05:47.880 He's leading

01:05:48.480 in the polls.

01:05:49.500 There's one

01:05:52.320 thing he

01:05:52.760 needs to

01:05:54.040 guarantee

01:05:54.560 victory and

01:05:56.520 there's one

01:05:56.940 thing he

01:05:57.300 needs to

01:05:57.820 make this

01:05:58.220 a proper

01:05:58.680 movie.

01:05:59.820 At the

01:06:00.480 moment it's

01:06:01.060 just a

01:06:01.420 series of

01:06:01.940 things that

01:06:02.340 happened.

01:06:03.560 There's one

01:06:04.080 thing he

01:06:04.460 needs to

01:06:05.380 turn it

01:06:05.760 into a

01:06:06.160 movie.

01:06:07.160 You know

01:06:07.480 what that

01:06:07.760 is right?

01:06:09.000 Just one

01:06:09.460 thing.

01:06:11.480 He needs

01:06:12.240 to find

01:06:12.780 verified

01:06:13.660 proof or

01:06:15.340 somebody does

01:06:15.960 that the

01:06:16.780 election was

01:06:17.680 in fact

01:06:18.200 rigged.

01:06:19.500 Now I

01:06:21.240 do not

01:06:21.560 have

01:06:21.800 evidence

01:06:22.280 personally

01:06:23.240 that anything

01:06:24.660 was rigged.

01:06:26.000 I've not

01:06:26.580 seen anything

01:06:27.220 that I

01:06:27.640 find credible.

01:06:29.080 All of the

01:06:29.780 latest news

01:06:30.540 it could be

01:06:31.660 true but I

01:06:32.680 don't find it

01:06:33.180 credible.

01:06:34.200 And the

01:06:34.360 reason I

01:06:34.680 don't find it

01:06:35.160 credible is

01:06:35.660 that nothing

01:06:36.040 else was.

01:06:37.260 Every single

01:06:37.920 thing you got

01:06:38.500 excited about

01:06:39.240 turned out to 1.00

01:06:39.880 be bullshit. 1.00

01:06:41.000 You know if 1.00

01:06:41.380 you thought you

01:06:42.000 were looking

01:06:42.300 for fraud.

01:06:44.380 So maybe it's

01:06:45.480 real.

01:06:45.680 Maybe Michigan

01:06:47.500 is the real

01:06:48.080 deal.

01:06:49.040 So whether

01:06:49.480 or not

01:06:49.780 Michigan is

01:06:50.380 the real

01:06:50.720 deal.

01:06:51.420 So I'm

01:06:51.820 not going

01:06:52.100 to make a

01:06:52.440 judgment about

01:06:53.240 anything that's

01:06:54.080 in the news

01:06:54.720 at the moment.

01:06:56.160 I don't think

01:06:57.220 the credibility

01:06:57.700 is high of

01:06:58.620 any election

01:06:59.460 story.

01:07:00.860 Any story.

01:07:01.840 I also don't

01:07:02.600 think the

01:07:02.940 credibility is

01:07:03.540 high when they

01:07:03.980 say it was

01:07:04.340 fair.

01:07:05.880 So I have

01:07:06.720 about equal

01:07:07.300 credibility for

01:07:08.100 the people who

01:07:08.560 say it was

01:07:08.920 unfair as the

01:07:10.320 people who are

01:07:10.780 sure it was

01:07:11.280 fair.

01:07:12.060 Neither of

01:07:12.680 those seem

01:07:13.040 like credible

01:07:14.520 points.

01:07:15.620 It's just

01:07:16.000 people don't

01:07:16.440 know.

01:07:17.720 It's more

01:07:18.400 fair to say

01:07:18.880 we don't

01:07:19.200 know.

01:07:24.060 But in

01:07:24.680 the context

01:07:25.160 of not

01:07:25.500 knowing,

01:07:26.960 I'm still

01:07:27.440 going to

01:07:27.740 predict that

01:07:29.440 because life

01:07:30.620 takes a

01:07:31.560 third act

01:07:33.560 form for

01:07:34.740 reasons I

01:07:35.320 don't know,

01:07:36.800 and I'm

01:07:37.240 just going to

01:07:37.660 observe it,

01:07:38.940 the most

01:07:39.860 likely outcome

01:07:40.940 karma,

01:07:43.040 nature,

01:07:44.300 the

01:07:44.440 simulation,

01:07:45.560 God,

01:07:46.600 every single

01:07:47.420 one of them

01:07:47.920 wants Trump

01:07:48.600 to find the

01:07:49.220 actual fraud

01:07:49.940 that changed

01:07:50.460 the election

01:07:50.880 result.

01:07:52.360 Every one

01:07:53.160 of them,

01:07:54.220 every force

01:07:56.120 of the world

01:07:57.320 seems to be

01:07:58.660 pushing toward

01:07:59.480 finding out it

01:08:00.940 was real,

01:08:02.300 you know,

01:08:02.560 the fraud.

01:08:04.120 And again,

01:08:04.800 let me say

01:08:05.320 clearly,

01:08:06.020 I'm not aware

01:08:06.660 of any evidence

01:08:07.360 of that.

01:08:08.260 So it would

01:08:08.840 be kind of a

01:08:10.060 shocking revelation

01:08:11.520 if something like

01:08:12.340 that ever happened.

01:08:13.040 But it would be

01:08:14.120 the perfect movie.

01:08:16.300 And that would

01:08:16.680 follow a,

01:08:17.920 and of course

01:08:18.420 he would sweep

01:08:19.080 into office,

01:08:20.040 and then the

01:08:20.720 end of the movie

01:08:21.340 is him closing

01:08:22.380 the border as

01:08:23.300 we all want

01:08:23.980 and ending

01:08:24.480 the Ukraine

01:08:25.040 war.

01:08:25.820 And one month

01:08:26.680 after he takes

01:08:27.320 office,

01:08:28.740 everything except

01:08:29.700 debt has been

01:08:30.360 solved.

01:08:32.540 Like,

01:08:33.160 you know,

01:08:33.580 crime in the

01:08:34.220 streets is over.

01:08:35.760 And basically

01:08:36.400 they just solve

01:08:36.960 everything in one

01:08:37.860 month,

01:08:38.300 which he could do.

01:08:40.080 It would be the

01:08:40.600 greatest movie

01:08:41.300 of all time.

01:08:43.260 Am I wrong

01:08:44.160 that if you

01:08:44.940 didn't live

01:08:45.940 through it,

01:08:47.200 and let's say

01:08:47.700 it's 20 years

01:08:48.380 from now,

01:08:48.980 and you just

01:08:49.460 saw the movie

01:08:50.160 of it,

01:08:51.240 it would be

01:08:52.160 the greatest

01:08:52.600 movie ever.

01:08:53.560 There would

01:08:53.860 never be a

01:08:54.360 better movie

01:08:54.780 than that.

01:08:55.940 You know,

01:08:56.180 it's like

01:08:56.900 the social

01:08:57.540 network

01:08:57.980 strong.

01:08:58.940 All right.

01:09:02.780 That,

01:09:03.280 ladies and 0.98

01:09:03.560 gentlemen,

01:09:03.780 is all I

01:09:04.340 wanted to

01:09:04.740 say today.

01:09:05.380 Thanks for

01:09:05.780 joining on

01:09:06.860 YouTube.

01:09:08.180 And remember,

01:09:10.040 imitation is

01:09:11.760 the only way

01:09:12.460 anybody ever

01:09:13.160 succeeded.

01:09:15.040 Imitation.

01:09:16.320 If you

01:09:16.820 remember that,

01:09:18.060 all of your

01:09:18.620 future difficult

01:09:19.520 conversations will

01:09:20.560 be easier.

01:09:22.000 You don't need

01:09:22.500 any racism to

01:09:23.820 talk about

01:09:24.280 imitation.

01:09:25.320 It's available

01:09:25.860 to everybody.

01:09:26.460 but it's not

01:09:29.380 implemented by

01:09:30.060 everybody.

01:09:31.340 So,

01:09:32.220 we'll see you

01:09:33.560 tomorrow.
