Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2198 Scott Adams： Reality Is Changing Right In Front Of Us. Wild Times. Bring Coffee

00:00:00.000 That's the name. Thank you for reminding me.

00:00:04.160 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:10.380 And you know what I say?

00:00:12.600 Let there be light. Let there be lighting.

00:00:16.280 Let us be prepared for once.

00:00:18.740 Look at that. Look at that.

00:00:21.940 That's called production quality.

00:00:24.980 Impressive, I know.

00:00:25.920 If you'd like to take this production quality up to a level that nobody's ever seen before,

00:00:31.980 well, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a canteen jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind.

00:00:38.760 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:42.240 And join me now in the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day that makes everything better.

00:00:49.560 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:51.740 And it happens now. Go.

00:00:55.920 Yes, I did get a haircut. Thanks for mentioning it.

00:00:59.600 Do I look more like my mug now?

00:01:02.280 Yeah, look at that. Identical.

00:01:05.060 You cannot tell the difference between me and the picture on my coffee mug.

00:01:09.260 Which one's me?

00:01:11.000 You can't tell. You can't tell.

00:01:13.100 Well, today is just the weirdest, weirdest, wonderful day.

00:01:22.120 There is bad news too, but everything is weird.

00:01:28.640 And I'll walk you through it, but that's the theme for today.

00:01:32.240 Reality has started to bend in a way that's really remarkable.

00:01:39.080 Everything's in play right now.

00:01:40.560 Everything you think is true is on the table.

00:01:45.760 Doesn't mean it's false, but everything's in play right now.

00:01:49.460 I don't think I've ever seen that before.

00:01:51.360 Have you?

00:01:52.180 Does this seem different to you?

00:01:54.460 Are we...

00:01:55.280 Here's what I think.

00:01:56.240 I think that the civilization is going to another level of awareness,

00:02:05.020 and it's going to be a bumpy ride.

00:02:08.880 The bumpiness is what we're feeling now.

00:02:11.480 But if you look at what we understand,

00:02:14.120 at least the informed part of the public,

00:02:16.180 what we understand to be true is changing in such a fundamental way

00:02:23.020 in just the last few years.

00:02:25.020 But it seems to have accelerated,

00:02:28.040 and even today I would say it's reached some kind of peak so far.

00:02:32.200 It's going to keep going.

00:02:33.360 But here are the stories of the day.

00:02:37.040 Did I see that Sam Bankman-Fried,

00:02:40.340 the crypto-alleged scammer guy,

00:02:43.660 is back in prison?

00:02:45.740 And is it true,

00:02:47.360 because I saw this,

00:02:48.880 and I need a confirmation of this,

00:02:50.920 did he really get put in the same jail that Epstein died in?

00:02:55.140 Did that really happen?

00:02:57.060 In the real world, that actually happened.

00:03:00.200 Can somebody confirm that?

00:03:01.340 Can you confirm it's the same place that Epstein?

00:03:06.600 I mean, not the same cell, but...

00:03:09.880 All right, I'm not seeing a confirmation of that,

00:03:12.840 but I saw it on social media.

00:03:15.640 So I don't know.

00:03:17.180 I thought you'd be confirming that by now, but you're not.

00:03:20.780 So let's put a question mark on that.

00:03:24.040 So Stephen King, famous writer and lefty political person,

00:03:30.340 Stephen King.

00:03:32.140 Um, he asked this question,

00:03:34.880 and, uh,

00:03:36.780 I thought it was, uh,

00:03:38.940 worthy of me answering it on Twitter.

00:03:40.600 He said on Twitter,

00:03:41.500 so here's a question.

00:03:43.180 If you consider yourself a loyal American,

00:03:46.060 how can you possibly support a man 1.00

00:03:48.200 who fomented insurrection in the United States Capitol?

00:03:53.120 Now, is that a good question?

00:03:54.420 Well, it's a good question if you live in a certain bubble of reality.

00:04:01.020 So I thought, hey, who better to, uh, clear up this situation than me?

00:04:09.560 So I answered him, and I said, uh,

00:04:12.660 he was talking about the, um, January 6th,

00:04:15.880 and I said, it's an absurd narrative half the country believes.

00:04:20.120 That's why you are so confused.

00:04:21.900 You have literally been brainwashed by your team.

00:04:25.560 And then, parenthetically, I said,

00:04:27.160 I'm a trained hypnotist, by the way,

00:04:28.860 so I'm speaking as an expert.

00:04:31.400 Uh, and then I said,

00:04:32.460 find out how many times you have had the same experience with this quiz.

00:04:36.160 And then I attached to his tweet the 20 or so,

00:04:40.640 I don't know what it's up to,

00:04:41.700 20 or so major political hoaxes

00:04:44.520 that everybody on the left believed.

00:04:48.500 Now, what do you think happened if he saw my tweet?

00:04:53.480 Now, I attached 20 examples that are just like this one.

00:04:57.980 20.

00:04:59.260 They're just like this.

00:05:00.380 There are things that didn't happen,

00:05:02.020 but his news told them they did.

00:05:03.980 Now, he hasn't responded,

00:05:09.520 or at least I haven't seen it.

00:05:11.000 I don't expect him to respond.

00:05:14.000 Um, but aren't you curious

00:05:16.160 what somebody's brain would do?

00:05:19.480 Aren't you...

00:05:20.360 He did?

00:05:22.240 No, he didn't block me.

00:05:24.340 Um, I don't think he blocked me.

00:05:26.740 Uh, but aren't you curious

00:05:28.640 what would happen to his brain if he saw it?

00:05:31.680 So, just walk yourself through this.

00:05:34.660 So, suppose he sees that the tweet comes from me.

00:05:38.360 Now, presumably, he would know,

00:05:41.140 you know, what Dilbert is

00:05:42.620 and who the Dilbert guy is, do you think?

00:05:46.180 Is that a fair assumption

00:05:47.360 that you would recognize my name?

00:05:50.080 What do you think?

00:05:51.740 Probably.

00:05:52.720 Probably.

00:05:53.520 You know, most writers know other writers, etc.

00:05:56.120 So, he would probably be aware.

00:05:59.080 And then he might check to see how many followers I have

00:06:02.240 as sort of a, you know, indication of weight.

00:06:06.100 So, he'd see I'd have a million followers.

00:06:09.080 And, he would see that my interpretation

00:06:13.220 is very different from his

00:06:14.740 and that my interpretation does answer the question.

00:06:19.180 That doesn't make it right.

00:06:21.280 It's just that, you know,

00:06:22.740 the answer I gave

00:06:23.740 fits the variables in question, right?

00:06:26.780 There's nothing that's not explained by it.

00:06:29.140 But, what would he do?

00:06:31.920 What do you think a normal human brain would do

00:06:34.760 when presented with an opposite reality

00:06:37.580 that actually makes sense?

00:06:42.080 Now, it's doubly interesting

00:06:44.420 because he's a fiction writer of, you know,

00:06:47.160 great renown.

00:06:48.260 If you're a fiction writer,

00:06:50.760 isn't it a little bit easier

00:06:52.320 to move from, you know,

00:06:54.160 one reality to another

00:06:55.500 if you're given the opportunity?

00:06:58.380 I think that people who write fiction

00:07:00.900 can move realities a little bit easier

00:07:04.240 than other people

00:07:05.060 because they're used to sort of living

00:07:07.000 in a fake reality while they write it.

00:07:10.040 You know, so it's just a,

00:07:10.920 it's a capability you develop

00:07:12.840 if you're a writer, basically,

00:07:14.240 a fiction writer.

00:07:15.380 I do it when I write comics.

00:07:17.640 In order to write a Dilbert comic,

00:07:20.300 I put myself in the office.

00:07:22.320 I go, okay, I'm standing there.

00:07:23.900 I'm in this situation.

00:07:25.220 What's happening now?

00:07:26.240 So, I'd be very curious

00:07:29.820 if he looks at the list of 20 hoaxes

00:07:32.020 and he does what I've seen other people do.

00:07:35.200 All 20 of those are true.

00:07:37.900 Do you think that's going to happen?

00:07:40.020 Do you think he's going to look

00:07:40.960 at a list of 20 hoaxes,

00:07:42.920 which, by the way,

00:07:43.860 the news admits are hoaxes,

00:07:45.980 like the, you know,

00:07:47.180 the Hunter laptop

00:07:48.240 would be the best example.

00:07:51.020 Anybody who looks at this list

00:07:52.600 can very clearly see

00:07:54.140 that the news has been giving you

00:07:56.100 ridiculous fake news for years.

00:08:00.140 What do you think it would happen?

00:08:02.860 Now, here's what should happen.

00:08:06.760 There should be massive cognitive dissonance,

00:08:10.200 meaning that the reaction

00:08:11.480 would look like word salad

00:08:12.980 or an attack.

00:08:15.980 Here's what you would expect.

00:08:17.980 He would attack me personally.

00:08:19.480 Oh, aren't you the cancelled racist guy?

00:08:24.100 Right?

00:08:25.380 So, that would give him something to say

00:08:27.320 without having to address any of the points.

00:08:29.920 So, that would be one way.

00:08:30.900 So, you could predict that one thing

00:08:32.260 would just be a personal insult.

00:08:34.280 Another thing would be

00:08:35.380 ignoring it completely

00:08:36.680 because it's too awkward to respond to it.

00:08:40.100 Can you imagine if he responds?

00:08:42.120 He's never responded to me in the past.

00:08:43.940 I've tweeted at him a few times.

00:08:45.240 So, not responding would be my first guess.

00:08:50.160 I think the odds of him responding

00:08:51.960 are no more than 10%.

00:08:53.840 But the other possibility

00:08:56.640 is wild hallucinations

00:08:58.580 where you say

00:08:59.960 everything on the list is true,

00:09:02.040 why are you saying these are hoaxes,

00:09:03.740 et cetera, et cetera.

00:09:05.000 But he actually believes

00:09:06.580 that people wandering around

00:09:10.700 without weapons

00:09:11.600 were intent on

00:09:13.620 literally conquering the country.

00:09:15.860 Like, actually.

00:09:17.280 You believe that.

00:09:19.280 So, a lot of people do.

00:09:20.660 I saw the comments.

00:09:22.140 Well, the U.S. Department of Health

00:09:24.640 and Human Services

00:09:25.480 has advised their employees

00:09:28.060 in San Francisco

00:09:28.860 to work remotely

00:09:29.780 because the city is too dangerous.

00:09:32.560 That's right.

00:09:34.060 The federal government

00:09:35.280 just told its employees

00:09:37.180 not to go outdoors

00:09:38.580 in San Francisco.

00:09:40.220 It's too dangerous.

00:09:41.680 Not to go outdoors.

00:09:42.640 Don't even be there.

00:09:44.820 The place is too dangerous.

00:09:48.920 So, at the same time,

00:09:50.780 there was a video

00:09:52.280 of the Oakland police

00:09:54.420 riding around

00:09:55.560 in an armored vehicle.

00:09:57.520 An armored vehicle

00:09:58.860 in Oakland.

00:10:00.140 So, basically,

00:10:01.140 the police have gone

00:10:02.120 full military.

00:10:04.820 Do you think you should

00:10:05.860 walk around in Oakland?

00:10:07.620 No.

00:10:07.960 Also, do you think

00:10:09.640 you should drive

00:10:10.500 through Oakland

00:10:11.380 or near it?

00:10:13.780 Not unless you've got

00:10:14.640 a full tank of gas

00:10:16.080 and make sure

00:10:16.980 your cell phone's charged

00:10:18.080 because you don't want

00:10:20.200 to have your car

00:10:20.800 break down anywhere

00:10:21.700 near Oakland.

00:10:23.740 Our cities are, frankly,

00:10:25.480 too dangerous.

00:10:26.860 A number of people

00:10:27.520 asked me,

00:10:28.960 my book will be,

00:10:30.100 I hope,

00:10:30.960 if everything goes right,

00:10:31.980 on Thursday

00:10:33.460 this coming week,

00:10:34.800 my book will be

00:10:35.920 available for sale.

00:10:37.480 I do a book

00:10:38.000 called Reframe Your Brain,

00:10:39.460 which will be

00:10:39.860 the biggest thing

00:10:40.760 that ever happened

00:10:41.360 in the United States.

00:10:44.840 Even if you don't realize

00:10:46.040 it,

00:10:46.260 it will be anyway.

00:10:47.860 You might not know it,

00:10:49.240 but it will be

00:10:49.740 the most important book

00:10:51.060 ever published,

00:10:53.120 excluding religious documents.

00:10:54.780 But people ask me,

00:10:59.020 hey, Scott,

00:10:59.440 are you going to do

00:11:00.020 a book tour,

00:11:01.340 you know,

00:11:01.640 where authors go

00:11:02.680 and they go into

00:11:04.040 population centers

00:11:05.380 and they sign books

00:11:06.280 for people?

00:11:07.860 Not a frickin' chance.

00:11:11.180 Do you know

00:11:11.760 what it would take

00:11:12.280 to get me to go

00:11:13.220 to a city in 2023?

00:11:16.180 Do you think I would

00:11:17.060 actually go to San Francisco?

00:11:19.520 How about Berkeley?

00:11:21.620 Do you think I would

00:11:22.280 go to Berkeley?

00:11:23.680 Do you think I would

00:11:24.620 visit Oakland

00:11:25.620 and sign some books?

00:11:27.920 How about Washington, D.C.?

00:11:30.400 New York City?

00:11:33.040 Los Angeles?

00:11:34.900 Because those are

00:11:35.560 the places you go, right?

00:11:36.940 You always do

00:11:37.420 Los Angeles, New York,

00:11:39.260 maybe Washington, D.C.

00:11:41.160 Those are the book tour places?

00:11:42.780 Not a chance.

00:11:44.440 I wouldn't go near

00:11:46.000 any of those places.

00:11:47.420 Number one,

00:11:48.400 as a canceled person,

00:11:49.840 it just wouldn't be safe.

00:11:52.160 I would make one exception, though.

00:11:55.320 I would make one exception.

00:11:58.540 It's unlikely that this

00:11:59.880 would happen,

00:12:00.980 but if I ever got invited

00:12:02.340 to be on the breakfast club,

00:12:05.240 that's in Chicago, right?

00:12:07.480 Chicago?

00:12:07.920 I would do that.

00:12:11.440 I would actually get

00:12:12.200 on the plane

00:12:12.680 and go to Chicago

00:12:13.900 to talk to those guys

00:12:15.300 because I think

00:12:16.360 they're kind of cool

00:12:17.000 and they would be

00:12:17.940 exactly the right

00:12:20.620 kind of attention

00:12:23.120 for entertainment.

00:12:25.560 But I would take

00:12:26.360 a risk of dying

00:12:28.060 to go into Chicago

00:12:29.460 to do that

00:12:31.340 because I think

00:12:31.780 it would be worth doing.

00:12:32.460 All right.

00:12:35.840 So, no,

00:12:36.500 no city tours.

00:12:39.480 I do plan

00:12:40.260 to do some podcasts,

00:12:41.480 but we'll see

00:12:41.840 how that goes.

00:12:43.440 Well, ESG continues

00:12:44.820 to decline.

00:12:46.720 There's a report

00:12:47.420 per Bloomberg

00:12:48.640 that ESG

00:12:50.460 has been removed

00:12:51.220 from some parts

00:12:52.060 of the McDonald's website.

00:12:53.920 Now, I don't know

00:12:57.440 if that was intentional

00:12:58.220 or maybe they were just

00:12:59.300 revamping the website

00:13:00.900 or something.

00:13:01.920 So, there could be

00:13:02.480 an explanation,

00:13:03.280 but I would say

00:13:03.940 would you agree

00:13:05.300 that ESG

00:13:06.260 is literally embarrassing?

00:13:09.360 Who would agree

00:13:10.220 with me

00:13:10.640 with that characterization?

00:13:12.900 That if you work

00:13:13.640 for a company

00:13:14.220 that's putting ESG

00:13:16.080 on their website,

00:13:17.460 that's embarrassing

00:13:18.640 because I think

00:13:20.900 we all understand

00:13:21.680 what's going on

00:13:22.400 at this point.

00:13:23.920 You know,

00:13:24.740 I don't know

00:13:25.300 who doesn't know

00:13:26.180 at this point

00:13:26.880 that ESG

00:13:27.660 is just ridiculous,

00:13:30.600 destructive bullshit. 0.60

00:13:33.260 Ridiculous,

00:13:34.120 destructive bullshit. 0.60

00:13:36.020 Now, you might not know

00:13:37.140 that the other day

00:13:37.800 I changed the world.

00:13:40.480 You don't know yet,

00:13:41.800 but you'll figure it out.

00:13:43.640 And I did it

00:13:44.360 with a reframe.

00:13:45.660 By the way,

00:13:46.160 the new book

00:13:46.880 that comes out next week

00:13:47.920 is a book of reframes,

00:13:49.580 teaches you how to do it

00:13:50.580 and gives you

00:13:51.460 a bunch of them

00:13:52.020 to change your life

00:13:53.660 in a variety of ways.

00:13:54.940 But the reframe

00:13:55.680 was that all success

00:13:57.100 is based on imitation.

00:13:59.920 All success

00:14:00.540 is based on imitation.

00:14:02.820 We first look

00:14:03.800 at what other

00:14:04.460 successful people do

00:14:05.720 and you at least

00:14:07.780 adopt those things.

00:14:09.420 You know,

00:14:09.640 okay,

00:14:09.980 they work hard,

00:14:10.780 they do this,

00:14:11.500 they take some chances,

00:14:12.540 they stay out of jail,

00:14:13.920 they don't do drugs,

00:14:14.960 or at least

00:14:15.420 not so much

00:14:16.460 that it stops

00:14:17.580 them from working.

00:14:18.240 And it's pretty obvious stuff.

00:14:22.400 Everybody who has succeeded

00:14:23.800 anywhere ever

00:14:25.260 imitated other successful people.

00:14:28.400 Now,

00:14:28.720 most of the time,

00:14:29.840 the really successful ones

00:14:31.400 added their own spin.

00:14:33.700 You know,

00:14:33.960 your Steve Jobs,

00:14:34.980 your Elon Musk.

00:14:36.780 At some point,

00:14:38.440 they're creating the rules

00:14:39.980 that the rest of us follow,

00:14:41.520 right?

00:14:42.020 So at some point,

00:14:42.920 they're actually creating

00:14:43.760 new techniques and rules.

00:14:45.700 But mostly,

00:14:47.880 I think it's safe to say,

00:14:49.200 they were also aware of

00:14:50.780 or students of

00:14:52.560 what works

00:14:53.700 and what doesn't.

00:14:55.420 And the only way

00:14:56.380 you know what works

00:14:57.060 is you looked at

00:14:57.700 other people doing it.

00:14:59.000 Oh,

00:14:59.260 you did that thing

00:15:00.020 and it worked.

00:15:00.820 I'll do that too.

00:15:02.500 The moment you accept,

00:15:05.040 and by the way,

00:15:05.680 there's no choice,

00:15:06.520 you will accept it.

00:15:07.900 It's easy to accept

00:15:09.120 that imitation

00:15:09.860 creates success

00:15:11.000 because we all see it.

00:15:13.360 A reframe works

00:15:14.760 very quickly.

00:15:16.260 The moment you heard that,

00:15:17.760 you agreed with it.

00:15:19.260 Show me.

00:15:20.160 Prove it.

00:15:20.800 The moment I said to you

00:15:22.140 that success requires imitation,

00:15:25.340 what did you say?

00:15:26.860 You said yes,

00:15:27.760 100% of you.

00:15:29.060 100% said yes.

00:15:31.260 Now,

00:15:31.800 when I said the next part of this,

00:15:33.200 which is the critical part,

00:15:34.920 if imitation requires success,

00:15:37.580 how do you succeed

00:15:38.720 if you're a black person

00:15:40.400 in America?

00:15:41.600 Because you would be asked

00:15:42.800 to imitate the people

00:15:44.680 you've been told by ESG

00:15:46.180 are your oppressors.

00:15:49.300 Who among us

00:15:50.340 would imitate our oppressors?

00:15:52.500 I wouldn't.

00:15:54.100 I would not do that.

00:15:56.380 If you're Jewish

00:15:57.700 and they said,

00:15:58.360 you know,

00:15:58.620 to be successful,

00:15:59.620 you should really dress up

00:16:01.180 in Nazi regalia.

00:16:03.620 Forget that that

00:16:04.340 doesn't make sense.

00:16:05.460 But imagine a world

00:16:06.400 where you were asked

00:16:07.100 to do that.

00:16:07.580 Oh,

00:16:08.300 you know,

00:16:08.540 it's just symbolic.

00:16:10.240 No,

00:16:10.400 no,

00:16:10.500 no,

00:16:10.680 no.

00:16:10.920 Don't.

00:16:11.540 Yes,

00:16:11.760 I know about the Holocaust, 0.60

00:16:13.100 but let's not think

00:16:14.300 about that now.

00:16:15.800 To be successful,

00:16:17.040 everybody's wearing

00:16:17.760 these Nazi uniforms,

00:16:19.360 so you should play along too.

00:16:21.540 You know,

00:16:21.960 I know you're just being

00:16:23.160 oversensitive

00:16:23.880 about the past.

00:16:25.880 Can you let that go?

00:16:27.480 Can you let the past go?

00:16:29.080 Just wear the Nazi uniforms 0.99

00:16:30.740 like everybody else

00:16:31.760 and you'll be successful too.

00:16:34.340 Imagine if that was

00:16:35.620 the Jewish situation.

00:16:38.240 The only way to do it

00:16:39.720 was to dress like a Nazi.

00:16:42.500 Would they do it?

00:16:44.220 No.

00:16:45.220 Well,

00:16:45.580 you know,

00:16:45.860 it's a big world,

00:16:46.760 so there's always somebody

00:16:47.540 who'll do anything.

00:16:48.740 But no.

00:16:50.320 If you were in that situation,

00:16:52.060 you'd say,

00:16:52.620 okay,

00:16:53.280 show me any other way

00:16:54.780 I can survive

00:16:55.720 that I don't have to wear

00:16:56.620 that uniform.

00:16:57.860 I would do anything

00:16:58.860 but put that on.

00:17:00.780 Now,

00:17:01.280 that's a little more dramatic,

00:17:02.700 maybe,

00:17:03.600 maybe not much,

00:17:04.880 than the black American situation.

00:17:07.820 You've been taught

00:17:08.500 since you were born,

00:17:10.820 you know,

00:17:11.040 there was slavery,

00:17:12.140 you were oppressed

00:17:12.740 by a certain class,

00:17:14.260 followed by,

00:17:15.080 you know,

00:17:15.860 how many decades

00:17:17.160 of, you know,

00:17:17.940 severe discrimination

00:17:19.340 at the hands of

00:17:21.020 who?

00:17:22.240 People who look like me,

00:17:24.140 right?

00:17:25.060 People who dress like me,

00:17:26.340 look like me,

00:17:27.060 talk like me.

00:17:29.020 Then you get your CRT,

00:17:31.120 then you get your DEI,

00:17:32.760 then you get your ESG,

00:17:34.360 and there's an entire industry

00:17:35.940 that's evolved

00:17:37.620 to reinforce

00:17:38.620 that there's

00:17:40.140 an oppressor class,

00:17:41.760 albeit mostly the past,

00:17:43.280 but still in the present,

00:17:45.500 and there's a victim class.

00:17:48.340 Whoever

00:17:48.860 was taught

00:17:50.420 that they were a victim

00:17:51.240 and then asked

00:17:52.580 to dress and act

00:17:54.160 like the people

00:17:54.860 who were their oppressors,

00:17:56.260 has that ever worked

00:17:57.520 in any society ever?

00:17:58.820 Of course not.

00:18:01.460 Of course not.

00:18:02.640 It couldn't possibly work.

00:18:04.320 And every one of us

00:18:05.160 know it,

00:18:06.220 and every one of us

00:18:07.120 can see it.

00:18:08.520 So here's the part

00:18:09.520 I'm adding today.

00:18:14.900 Let's say you buy

00:18:16.240 into my framing,

00:18:19.420 and I know you do.

00:18:20.500 Every one of you agreed.

00:18:21.800 By the way,

00:18:22.260 I'm watching the comments.

00:18:24.380 Not a single disagreement.

00:18:26.000 Just think about that.

00:18:29.120 Not a single disagreement.

00:18:30.460 Not a single person.

00:18:32.080 You all see it.

00:18:32.880 It's obvious.

00:18:34.920 Here's the second part

00:18:36.120 that you might disagree with.

00:18:39.520 The why of it,

00:18:42.820 you know,

00:18:43.040 the why black America 1.00

00:18:44.760 is not doing the things

00:18:46.360 that successful people do.

00:18:49.660 And again,

00:18:50.240 this is on average, right?

00:18:51.480 There are plenty

00:18:51.880 of successful black people.

00:18:53.000 I don't have to go

00:18:54.680 through the whole speech

00:18:55.540 about whenever I talk

00:18:57.300 about a group of people.

00:18:58.440 I'm never talking

00:18:59.300 about all of them.

00:19:01.640 Never.

00:19:02.720 It's never about all of them.

00:19:04.980 People are too different.

00:19:06.420 You don't need to tell me,

00:19:08.060 because I'm telling you

00:19:09.120 that any mention of a group

00:19:11.500 does not require

00:19:13.040 that you believe

00:19:14.200 all of them are alike.

00:19:15.920 Right?

00:19:16.160 So we're at least adult enough

00:19:17.480 not to fall into that trap.

00:19:19.200 All right?

00:19:19.560 But generally speaking,

00:19:20.700 there's some generalities.

00:19:23.440 So the number one thing

00:19:24.400 that I'd like to add

00:19:26.580 is that if two groups

00:19:28.760 act differently,

00:19:30.620 it is not your problem

00:19:32.280 if they get different results.

00:19:34.440 And you should not be

00:19:35.380 the one to solve it.

00:19:37.140 The only ones who can solve it,

00:19:39.360 and I don't know

00:19:39.940 what the solution is,

00:19:41.420 and I think it would be arrogant

00:19:42.940 and inappropriate

00:19:44.380 if I were the one

00:19:46.080 who said,

00:19:47.300 you know,

00:19:47.640 you black people

00:19:48.340 should do this thing differently.

00:19:49.540 I feel like that's

00:19:51.220 just a mistake.

00:19:52.720 Because remember,

00:19:53.620 I'm part of the

00:19:54.280 alleged oppressor class.

00:19:56.660 The last thing

00:19:57.520 anybody wants to hear

00:19:58.500 is advice from the oppressors.

00:20:01.280 So I'm going to take that

00:20:02.740 as the smartest move.

00:20:05.700 It's going to look like

00:20:06.980 a lack of empathy.

00:20:08.280 It's the opposite.

00:20:09.920 This is the opposite

00:20:10.860 of a lack of empathy.

00:20:12.380 I'm going to show

00:20:13.140 the greatest level

00:20:14.080 of respect

00:20:14.920 and empathy

00:20:16.240 for my fellow citizens

00:20:18.800 of the United States

00:20:20.000 by saying,

00:20:21.880 you can solve this.

00:20:23.680 You know exactly

00:20:24.560 what the problem is.

00:20:26.040 I honestly don't know

00:20:27.580 the solution.

00:20:28.560 And I don't even know

00:20:29.260 what I'd try.

00:20:30.220 I don't even know

00:20:30.800 what I'd try first.

00:20:31.660 I have no idea.

00:20:32.920 But that's not

00:20:34.700 for me to solve.

00:20:36.220 I can tell you

00:20:37.320 what it takes

00:20:38.000 to succeed,

00:20:38.980 but I can't tell you

00:20:40.540 what's in your head

00:20:41.400 or how you should

00:20:42.840 change it

00:20:43.420 or how you should

00:20:44.620 think differently.

00:20:45.700 That would be

00:20:46.360 completely out of place.

00:20:48.080 I wouldn't want to hear

00:20:49.100 it from anybody else.

00:20:50.480 Like if somebody

00:20:51.100 were giving me

00:20:51.700 that kind of advice,

00:20:53.340 it wouldn't go down

00:20:54.200 that well.

00:20:55.920 I'd like to figure

00:20:56.920 it out myself.

00:20:58.240 And I think that

00:20:59.380 we should be willing

00:21:02.180 to give black America 0.90

00:21:03.880 the respect

00:21:05.620 of letting them

00:21:07.940 work it out.

00:21:09.460 And the longer

00:21:10.400 you try to fix it

00:21:11.400 for them,

00:21:11.940 the worse it gets.

00:21:13.420 the worse it gets.

00:21:15.320 Now, I don't think

00:21:16.000 this was always the case.

00:21:17.840 I think when things

00:21:18.820 were slavery

00:21:20.220 and Jim Crow

00:21:21.320 and all that stuff,

00:21:22.700 that you needed

00:21:23.420 a big, big

00:21:24.500 outside push. 0.67

00:21:26.380 So in that case,

00:21:27.740 yeah, white people

00:21:28.500 should be fully involved

00:21:29.600 trying to fix

00:21:30.920 this horrible

00:21:31.660 systemic situation.

00:21:33.740 But once you get

00:21:34.700 to where we are now,

00:21:36.480 where it's really

00:21:37.180 about any individual

00:21:38.500 who walks into a job

00:21:39.900 can probably get

00:21:41.160 that job 0.53

00:21:41.640 if they do

00:21:42.100 the right things.

00:21:44.000 Did you hear

00:21:44.720 the story

00:21:45.140 about the

00:21:45.700 highly educated

00:21:47.820 black guy?

00:21:50.060 This just happened.

00:21:51.500 He had an

00:21:52.240 engineering degree,

00:21:54.440 no drug problems,

00:21:55.760 never been in jail,

00:21:57.380 and he starved to death

00:21:58.820 because he couldn't

00:21:59.720 get a job.

00:22:00.800 Did you hear

00:22:01.160 that story?

00:22:02.600 It was tragic.

00:22:03.560 There was a black man,

00:22:04.420 highly educated,

00:22:05.300 did everything right,

00:22:06.480 and then he starved

00:22:07.460 to death. 0.75

00:22:08.020 He actually starved

00:22:08.700 to death because he

00:22:09.260 couldn't get a job

00:22:09.900 in America.

00:22:10.320 Do you know

00:22:11.180 why you haven't

00:22:11.580 heard that story?

00:22:13.020 Because it never

00:22:13.760 fucking happened, 0.95

00:22:15.040 and it never will

00:22:15.780 happen.

00:22:16.400 That cannot happen

00:22:17.600 in America.

00:22:18.400 It just can't happen.

00:22:20.040 There are no poor,

00:22:21.420 educated people

00:22:22.360 who stayed down

00:22:22.980 in jail.

00:22:24.420 There aren't.

00:22:25.640 No, well,

00:22:26.100 educated to the point

00:22:27.060 of being an engineer,

00:22:28.000 let's say.

00:22:28.940 Certainly there are

00:22:29.620 people with educations

00:22:30.560 who are struggling

00:22:31.160 for different reasons.

00:22:32.100 But if you do the things

00:22:34.540 that people do

00:22:35.240 to succeed,

00:22:36.900 it just works.

00:22:39.800 There's not special rules

00:22:41.300 for one class of people.

00:22:43.080 Everybody who does

00:22:44.160 the same rules of success,

00:22:47.080 they get there.

00:22:49.620 Now, should I worry

00:22:50.780 that one group

00:22:51.560 has, on average,

00:22:53.740 on average,

00:22:55.140 lesser performance

00:22:56.500 than some other group?

00:22:58.620 No.

00:22:59.340 Stop caring about that.

00:23:00.580 It was right to care

00:23:02.500 about that

00:23:02.920 when things were dire,

00:23:04.280 slavery.

00:23:05.040 If you talk about slavery,

00:23:07.060 absolutely you're talking

00:23:08.300 about classes of people.

00:23:09.880 That is the right frame

00:23:11.220 to talk about

00:23:11.880 what's happening on.

00:23:12.780 Oh, a whole class

00:23:14.080 of people are slaves.

00:23:15.500 A whole class of people

00:23:16.660 are suffering Jim Crow.

00:23:19.280 In those situations,

00:23:20.520 yes, you should absolutely

00:23:22.040 focus on the group

00:23:23.380 because you've got to

00:23:24.440 fix a group problem.

00:23:25.820 But we're way beyond

00:23:27.060 that now.

00:23:28.100 We're now in the age

00:23:29.440 of the individual.

00:23:30.580 If the individual

00:23:32.620 does the right stuff,

00:23:34.600 they'll do great.

00:23:36.040 Do I care that one

00:23:37.320 individual does worse

00:23:38.540 than another?

00:23:39.880 Mm-hmm.

00:23:40.620 Not really,

00:23:41.520 because it has to be

00:23:42.320 that way.

00:23:43.400 There's no way

00:23:44.200 that will change.

00:23:45.540 Do I care that

00:23:46.260 the average of some group

00:23:47.900 is not doing as well

00:23:49.580 as the average

00:23:50.260 of some group

00:23:51.040 under this specific

00:23:52.600 situation

00:23:53.320 that they all have

00:23:55.200 access to the same

00:23:56.280 rules of success?

00:23:57.720 In that case,

00:23:58.380 I don't care.

00:23:58.960 As long as the law

00:24:00.800 is giving everybody

00:24:01.580 a good shot,

00:24:03.100 as long as everybody

00:24:04.120 has some path

00:24:05.200 to succeed,

00:24:06.500 maybe not identical

00:24:07.560 paths,

00:24:08.240 but some path,

00:24:09.700 you just have to

00:24:10.920 let people work it out.

00:24:12.420 So I think now

00:24:13.240 we have to push it

00:24:13.960 back to the individual

00:24:14.880 and say,

00:24:16.160 look,

00:24:16.640 honestly,

00:24:17.240 I don't know why

00:24:17.940 things aren't

00:24:18.400 working out for you.

00:24:19.700 I know what works

00:24:20.780 and I know what

00:24:22.260 you're doing

00:24:22.700 and it's all the

00:24:23.300 stuff that doesn't

00:24:23.920 work,

00:24:24.620 but you need to

00:24:25.600 tell me why

00:24:26.200 you're not doing it.

00:24:27.540 It's not for me

00:24:28.320 to tell you why

00:24:28.960 you're not doing it

00:24:29.840 because as soon

00:24:30.960 as I tell you

00:24:31.740 why you're not

00:24:32.260 doing it,

00:24:33.100 it's just trouble.

00:24:35.340 I should just

00:24:36.100 show you what works.

00:24:37.620 I should make

00:24:38.520 every availability

00:24:39.580 to you.

00:24:41.060 If you like

00:24:41.860 an introduction,

00:24:42.960 yes.

00:24:44.060 If you like

00:24:44.820 some mentoring,

00:24:46.280 yes.

00:24:46.620 if you'd like

00:24:48.180 some access

00:24:48.920 that maybe you

00:24:49.660 feel you're denied,

00:24:51.240 yes.

00:24:52.160 Just ask.

00:24:53.280 If any individual

00:24:54.520 wants individual

00:24:57.100 help,

00:24:58.420 yes.

00:24:59.580 Yes.

00:25:00.160 If a group

00:25:01.280 wants to increase

00:25:02.780 their group average

00:25:04.100 compared to another

00:25:05.440 group average,

00:25:06.620 no interest at all

00:25:07.880 because I'm not

00:25:09.700 a group

00:25:10.160 and you're not

00:25:11.560 a group.

00:25:14.160 Right?

00:25:15.020 I'm not a group,

00:25:16.020 you're not a group,

00:25:16.620 I have no interest

00:25:17.740 in making some

00:25:18.400 kind of weird

00:25:18.820 average equal.

00:25:21.040 But I'll help

00:25:21.620 you.

00:25:22.900 You individually,

00:25:24.040 sure.

00:25:25.360 And if you

00:25:26.060 bought my book,

00:25:26.860 you would be

00:25:27.380 on your way

00:25:27.920 to success.

00:25:30.180 All right.

00:25:31.060 Here's a question

00:25:31.880 that I saw.

00:25:32.540 Is the U.S.

00:25:33.480 government

00:25:33.760 behind the cartels?

00:25:36.480 Jim Beckmeyer

00:25:37.520 asked that on Twitter.

00:25:39.360 Is the U.S.

00:25:40.300 government

00:25:40.640 behind the cartels?

00:25:42.000 Now,

00:25:42.680 behind the cartels

00:25:43.780 could be

00:25:44.500 defined in a number

00:25:46.580 of ways.

00:25:48.060 I would say

00:25:48.880 that one way

00:25:49.620 would be,

00:25:50.200 let's say the CIA

00:25:51.420 is working with

00:25:52.900 one of the cartels

00:25:53.900 or something.

00:25:55.120 Another way

00:25:55.780 would be

00:25:56.520 if members

00:25:58.180 of our government

00:25:59.540 were accepting

00:26:00.860 bribes

00:26:01.560 for the benefit

00:26:02.720 of the cartels.

00:26:04.860 Another way

00:26:05.640 would be

00:26:06.320 if they were

00:26:06.960 just afraid

00:26:07.460 of the cartels.

00:26:08.460 Maybe no money,

00:26:09.360 but they were

00:26:09.640 just afraid of them.

00:26:11.360 Now,

00:26:11.700 I don't know,

00:26:12.320 I don't have

00:26:12.900 any specific evidence

00:26:14.400 of any of those

00:26:15.380 things.

00:26:16.520 I have no evidence

00:26:17.540 that would suggest

00:26:19.300 any of that.

00:26:21.180 But I did say this.

00:26:24.120 I can't think

00:26:25.060 of any other

00:26:25.580 explanation

00:26:26.100 for what we're

00:26:26.880 observing.

00:26:27.820 Can you?

00:26:28.420 What would be

00:26:29.880 another explanation

00:26:30.920 for a complete

00:26:33.080 unwillingness,

00:26:34.200 not an inability,

00:26:35.860 not an inability,

00:26:38.380 an unwillingness

00:26:39.500 of our government

00:26:40.320 to stop this problem?

00:26:41.620 Because would you

00:26:43.240 agree that we're

00:26:43.980 not dealing

00:26:44.540 with an inability?

00:26:46.560 Does everybody

00:26:47.180 agree with that?

00:26:48.660 There's nothing

00:26:49.780 like an inability

00:26:50.740 to stop it.

00:26:53.120 You do know

00:26:53.980 that Afghanistan 0.79

00:26:54.700 is out of the

00:26:55.680 poppy business?

00:26:59.320 Because ISIS

00:27:00.360 just decided,

00:27:01.800 or no,

00:27:02.260 the Taliban,

00:27:03.100 the Taliban

00:27:03.760 just decided,

00:27:04.700 yeah,

00:27:04.900 I guess we're

00:27:05.380 just not going

00:27:05.840 to have drugs

00:27:06.300 in this country.

00:27:07.980 Yeah,

00:27:08.300 they had the ability,

00:27:09.260 even the Taliban

00:27:09.980 could remove drugs

00:27:11.320 from Afghanistan.

00:27:12.800 So yeah,

00:27:13.280 we have all

00:27:13.880 the ability.

00:27:15.440 It's clearly

00:27:16.100 an unwillingness.

00:27:17.740 What would cause

00:27:18.480 an unwillingness

00:27:19.380 to solve

00:27:20.960 our biggest

00:27:21.520 deadly problem

00:27:22.460 in the United States,

00:27:23.520 fentanyl?

00:27:24.340 What would cause

00:27:25.040 that?

00:27:26.820 Well,

00:27:27.160 the only explanation

00:27:28.260 is that the government

00:27:29.260 has been co-opted

00:27:31.800 in some fashion.

00:27:33.700 And I don't have

00:27:34.420 a hypothesis

00:27:35.720 of what that fashion 0.96

00:27:37.360 would be.

00:27:38.060 But when we look

00:27:38.960 at it,

00:27:39.880 do you think

00:27:40.320 it's a coincidence

00:27:41.080 that the people

00:27:42.540 who have

00:27:43.440 the most aggressive

00:27:44.360 stands

00:27:45.040 are independently

00:27:46.600 rich

00:27:47.280 and outsiders?

00:27:50.800 Independently

00:27:51.480 rich outsiders

00:27:52.640 want to shut

00:27:54.000 down the fentanyl

00:27:55.200 trade

00:27:55.480 and close

00:27:55.940 the border?

00:27:57.240 People who are

00:27:58.100 not as independently

00:27:59.180 wealthy

00:27:59.660 and have been

00:28:00.900 in the government

00:28:01.740 for a while,

00:28:02.720 they seem to be

00:28:03.720 less willing

00:28:04.240 to do stuff

00:28:04.920 that needs to be done.

00:28:06.460 Do you think

00:28:06.780 that's a fucking 0.99

00:28:07.520 coincidence?

00:28:08.800 No.

00:28:09.160 That's not

00:28:10.140 a coincidence.

00:28:11.520 And we live

00:28:12.280 in a world

00:28:12.700 now where

00:28:13.340 the reality

00:28:14.060 is slowly

00:28:15.440 becoming clear

00:28:16.340 to us all.

00:28:17.560 I'll tell you,

00:28:18.080 the pandemic

00:28:18.560 was the best thing

00:28:19.480 that ever happened

00:28:20.060 to our brains.

00:28:21.620 It doesn't feel

00:28:22.320 like it.

00:28:23.080 It feels like

00:28:24.240 it broke

00:28:24.620 your brain.

00:28:25.900 But it's the only

00:28:26.620 way we can get

00:28:27.400 to the next level

00:28:28.220 of awareness.

00:28:29.560 That level

00:28:30.400 of awareness

00:28:30.980 is everything

00:28:32.140 that can be

00:28:33.040 corrupt

00:28:33.500 is.

00:28:35.280 Everything.

00:28:36.440 Everything that

00:28:37.240 can be corrupt

00:28:38.240 it already is.

00:28:40.540 Except for

00:28:41.480 the elections.

00:28:43.360 All 50 elections

00:28:45.080 run by the

00:28:46.420 different states,

00:28:47.580 those are all

00:28:48.300 done properly.

00:28:49.780 Nobody knows why.

00:28:51.300 It's like a mystery.

00:28:54.160 It's kind of...

00:28:55.080 But I tell you,

00:28:56.120 there's no evidence.

00:28:57.600 No evidence.

00:28:59.680 All 50. 0.97

00:29:00.600 It's amazing.

00:29:02.860 It's like a big

00:29:03.440 coincidence.

00:29:06.180 All right.

00:29:08.680 So here's a report

00:29:09.820 in the Wall Street

00:29:10.840 Journal that

00:29:11.560 trade with China

00:29:13.300 is way down.

00:29:13.860 So China accounted

00:29:15.140 for 13.3%

00:29:16.760 of U.S. goods

00:29:17.520 imports

00:29:18.180 during the first

00:29:19.320 six months

00:29:19.760 of this year.

00:29:20.700 That's below a peak

00:29:21.940 of 21.6%

00:29:23.180 for all of 2017.

00:29:25.520 The current level

00:29:26.980 of U.S. goods

00:29:29.460 imports

00:29:30.140 is at the lowest

00:29:32.320 since

00:29:32.840 2003.

00:29:37.580 Two years

00:29:38.280 after China

00:29:38.920 got into

00:29:39.420 the World Trade

00:29:40.000 Organization.

00:29:41.940 All right.

00:29:42.840 So this shift...

00:29:44.780 Do you know

00:29:45.480 when this started?

00:29:46.780 Do you know

00:29:47.220 when the trade

00:29:49.160 with China

00:29:49.760 started to fall

00:29:51.160 off a roof?

00:29:52.020 Do you remember

00:29:52.420 what year

00:29:53.000 it all happened?

00:29:55.600 According to

00:29:56.260 the Wall Street Journal,

00:29:57.120 this happened...

00:29:57.900 The shift started

00:29:58.580 in 2018

00:29:59.400 as the Trump

00:30:01.020 administration

00:30:01.600 imposed tariffs

00:30:02.660 on a range

00:30:03.120 of Chinese products.

00:30:04.880 2018.

00:30:06.020 Was there anything

00:30:06.720 else that happened

00:30:07.320 in 2018?

00:30:09.900 2018.

00:30:11.420 What else was

00:30:12.260 happening in 2018

00:30:13.340 relative to this?

00:30:16.460 2018 is when my

00:30:21.580 stepson died

00:30:22.380 of fentanyl

00:30:24.840 overdose.

00:30:26.540 2018.

00:30:28.140 2018 is the year 0.95

00:30:29.240 that I told you

00:30:29.880 I was going to

00:30:30.380 destroy the economy

00:30:31.280 of China

00:30:31.780 and I was going

00:30:32.540 to make us decouple.

00:30:34.880 The shift started

00:30:35.800 in 2018.

00:30:36.480 2018.

00:30:41.800 Probably just

00:30:42.640 coincidence.

00:30:45.240 What year did

00:30:45.960 ESG start

00:30:47.140 taking its

00:30:47.620 nosedive?

00:30:49.020 Did you notice

00:30:49.900 that ESG

00:30:50.580 sort of fell

00:30:51.200 off a cliff?

00:30:52.900 Right about

00:30:53.260 the same...

00:30:54.860 It was 2022,

00:30:55.960 wasn't it?

00:30:57.440 What year did

00:30:58.400 I say I was

00:30:58.980 going to destroy

00:30:59.620 ESG?

00:31:02.680 2022?

00:31:04.160 2022.

00:31:05.140 Was it

00:31:05.500 21?

00:31:06.720 I think it

00:31:07.160 was 22.

00:31:10.260 So,

00:31:10.940 probably just

00:31:11.780 coincidences,

00:31:12.540 right?

00:31:18.960 How many of

00:31:19.840 you are looking

00:31:20.320 at this situation

00:31:21.220 and scratching 0.90

00:31:21.880 your head

00:31:22.260 and saying,

00:31:23.460 are you

00:31:23.860 kidding?

00:31:25.660 Is this

00:31:26.240 real?

00:31:27.520 Can't tell,

00:31:28.200 can you?

00:31:29.520 Did I just

00:31:30.380 predict well

00:31:31.220 and get in

00:31:32.200 front of a

00:31:32.640 parade that

00:31:33.060 was going

00:31:33.320 to happen

00:31:33.640 anyway?

00:31:34.100 Or did I

00:31:36.260 tell you

00:31:36.760 what I

00:31:37.020 was going

00:31:37.320 to do?

00:31:38.320 Did I

00:31:38.700 point for

00:31:39.220 the fence

00:31:39.760 and then

00:31:40.880 hit the

00:31:41.280 ball over

00:31:41.660 the fence

00:31:42.120 where I

00:31:42.480 was

00:31:42.600 pointing?

00:31:43.960 Which of

00:31:44.480 those two

00:31:44.820 things

00:31:45.040 happened?

00:31:45.840 You know

00:31:46.260 that when I

00:31:46.680 said China,

00:31:47.440 we're going

00:31:47.720 to decouple

00:31:48.180 from China,

00:31:49.120 100%

00:31:50.240 100% of

00:31:51.300 the people

00:31:51.680 who heard

00:31:51.940 me said

00:31:52.320 that said

00:31:53.220 no,

00:31:53.540 it's just

00:31:53.820 going to

00:31:53.960 be more

00:31:54.320 every year.

00:31:56.940 100%,

00:31:57.380 100%

00:31:59.140 of everybody

00:31:59.800 said,

00:32:00.300 that's not

00:32:01.000 going to

00:32:01.160 happen.

00:32:02.780 I was

00:32:03.340 the only

00:32:03.600 one who

00:32:03.900 was right

00:32:04.360 and 100%

00:32:07.160 of the rest

00:32:07.580 of you

00:32:07.840 were wrong.

00:32:09.540 Just,

00:32:10.620 if you're

00:32:11.100 keeping track,

00:32:12.940 keep track

00:32:14.180 of that.

00:32:15.580 All right,

00:32:16.140 let's talk

00:32:16.460 about some

00:32:16.800 other things.

00:32:17.380 I guess

00:32:19.060 Attorney General

00:32:20.300 Garland has

00:32:20.940 appointed a

00:32:21.440 special counsel

00:32:22.300 for this

00:32:23.540 Hunter Biden

00:32:24.160 stuff.

00:32:25.700 Mark Levin,

00:32:26.680 who knows

00:32:28.220 the law

00:32:28.660 better than

00:32:29.140 I do,

00:32:29.820 so I'll

00:32:30.460 just read

00:32:30.820 his comment,

00:32:31.820 he said

00:32:32.120 a special

00:32:32.680 counsel

00:32:33.040 must be

00:32:33.580 chosen from

00:32:34.240 outside the

00:32:34.980 Department of

00:32:35.520 Justice.

00:32:36.520 So how

00:32:36.980 did Garland

00:32:37.500 appoint Weiss

00:32:38.360 the special

00:32:38.980 counsel?

00:32:40.500 Now,

00:32:40.980 that's an

00:32:41.380 interesting

00:32:41.720 sub-question

00:32:42.600 and I don't

00:32:43.720 know the

00:32:44.120 law well

00:32:44.740 enough to

00:32:45.200 participate in

00:32:46.320 this one,

00:32:46.680 but is

00:32:47.720 that a

00:32:48.000 thing?

00:32:49.440 Did

00:32:49.920 Garland

00:32:50.400 actually

00:32:50.740 pick

00:32:51.100 somebody

00:32:52.240 that's

00:32:53.040 not

00:32:53.260 really

00:32:53.560 even

00:32:53.920 the

00:32:55.480 right

00:32:55.660 person?

00:32:56.920 And it

00:32:57.520 was kind

00:32:57.800 of

00:32:57.900 interesting,

00:32:58.520 picked

00:32:58.760 somebody,

00:32:59.660 this Weiss

00:33:00.120 person.

00:33:01.020 Now,

00:33:01.580 why is

00:33:01.960 Weiss

00:33:02.240 famous?

00:33:03.680 What did

00:33:04.160 Weiss do 0.94

00:33:04.720 recently that

00:33:05.480 we already

00:33:05.920 knew about?

00:33:07.220 Wasn't he

00:33:07.880 behind the

00:33:08.740 Hunter Biden

00:33:09.920 sweetheart deal?

00:33:12.940 Or is it,

00:33:13.580 what was he

00:33:14.180 behind?

00:33:14.460 Russia collusion,

00:33:16.660 somebody says?

00:33:17.460 I don't know

00:33:17.900 about that.

00:33:18.620 But he was

00:33:18.980 behind the

00:33:19.500 sweetheart deal,

00:33:20.260 right?

00:33:21.220 Yeah.

00:33:22.180 So,

00:33:23.040 now,

00:33:24.460 if you

00:33:26.060 appoint a

00:33:26.840 special

00:33:28.060 counsel,

00:33:29.020 what do you

00:33:29.680 think that

00:33:30.100 does to

00:33:31.100 the Congress's

00:33:32.380 investigation?

00:33:33.700 So Congress

00:33:34.320 was subpoenaing,

00:33:35.480 you know,

00:33:35.880 in the middle

00:33:36.200 of subpoenaing

00:33:37.180 people and

00:33:38.020 talking.

00:33:39.060 Do you think

00:33:39.500 that Congress

00:33:40.040 can keep doing

00:33:40.780 what they're

00:33:41.140 doing?

00:33:41.380 once the

00:33:43.300 special counsel

00:33:44.480 is on board?

00:33:46.040 I think the

00:33:46.800 answer is no,

00:33:47.520 right?

00:33:48.380 So this would

00:33:49.300 shut down the

00:33:49.960 Republicans,

00:33:50.420 who were

00:33:52.160 having great

00:33:53.120 progress.

00:33:54.140 By the way,

00:33:54.820 the Republicans

00:33:55.320 did great.

00:33:57.660 Can we

00:33:58.600 say that?

00:34:01.920 You know,

00:34:02.660 I spend most

00:34:03.440 of my time

00:34:04.080 criticizing bad

00:34:05.540 behavior.

00:34:06.380 But I've got to

00:34:07.120 say this Comer

00:34:08.120 fellow and

00:34:10.040 Jim Jordan

00:34:11.360 and there

00:34:12.700 may be some

00:34:13.120 other people

00:34:13.560 that I should

00:34:14.100 mention.

00:34:14.960 But have they

00:34:15.460 not done a

00:34:15.960 great job on

00:34:16.660 this?

00:34:17.880 I think they

00:34:18.360 have.

00:34:18.920 I think this

00:34:19.460 is real

00:34:19.820 service.

00:34:21.240 I think the

00:34:21.780 country should

00:34:23.860 appreciate it.

00:34:24.980 McCarthy,

00:34:25.640 yeah.

00:34:26.460 So, you

00:34:27.160 know, they

00:34:27.380 don't only

00:34:28.440 make mistakes.

00:34:29.700 You know, I

00:34:30.020 got lots of

00:34:30.540 problems with

00:34:31.260 both Republicans

00:34:32.200 and Democrats,

00:34:34.100 but in this

00:34:34.560 one situation,

00:34:36.300 I would say

00:34:36.840 there are

00:34:37.220 several people

00:34:37.820 who did

00:34:38.160 exactly what I

00:34:39.100 would want

00:34:39.500 them to do

00:34:40.080 as a citizen.

00:34:41.660 So, thanks

00:34:42.080 for that.

00:34:43.880 But can we

00:34:45.360 agree that this

00:34:46.120 looks suspicious

00:34:47.100 as hell?

00:34:49.480 Suspicious

00:34:49.960 as hell.

00:34:51.000 It looks like

00:34:52.080 it's a play

00:34:54.320 or an op

00:34:55.280 to keep

00:34:56.420 Hunter safe.

00:34:57.280 It does not

00:34:57.900 look like any

00:34:58.540 kind of justice

00:34:59.380 the way you

00:34:59.960 would recognize

00:35:00.440 it.

00:35:01.120 Can you agree

00:35:01.780 that it does

00:35:02.380 not look even

00:35:03.760 slightly like a

00:35:04.820 legitimate process?

00:35:06.220 We all agree

00:35:06.720 with that, right?

00:35:07.480 It doesn't look

00:35:08.200 legitimate.

00:35:09.100 Now, the

00:35:09.860 argument that

00:35:10.540 it is legitimate

00:35:11.300 is that this

00:35:12.960 is the person

00:35:13.640 who was

00:35:14.720 involved in

00:35:15.820 the original

00:35:16.420 Hunter investigations

00:35:18.380 and apparently

00:35:19.500 he was limited

00:35:20.500 in his abilities,

00:35:21.920 although there's

00:35:22.400 a big question

00:35:23.120 because Garland

00:35:24.300 said he wasn't

00:35:24.980 going to be

00:35:25.320 limited, but

00:35:26.160 maybe there was

00:35:26.980 after all.

00:35:27.820 We're not sure.

00:35:29.160 That sort of

00:35:29.700 might be more

00:35:30.360 of a bureaucracy

00:35:31.000 question.

00:35:32.340 But this

00:35:33.540 should authorize

00:35:34.360 him to do

00:35:34.860 everything that

00:35:35.440 needs to be

00:35:35.960 done to bring

00:35:38.240 us to a good

00:35:39.040 conclusion about

00:35:40.100 Hunter and

00:35:40.960 what he did

00:35:41.460 and did not

00:35:41.980 do and what

00:35:43.060 to do about

00:35:43.500 it.

00:35:44.480 So on one

00:35:45.300 hand, you

00:35:45.960 can make a

00:35:46.420 real strong

00:35:47.000 argument that

00:35:47.720 it's the right

00:35:48.260 thing to do.

00:35:49.720 On the other

00:35:50.460 hand, every bit

00:35:51.700 of it looks

00:35:52.180 crooked.

00:35:53.780 Would you

00:35:54.300 agree?

00:35:55.260 They can

00:35:55.920 definitely make

00:35:56.440 the argument,

00:35:57.240 oh, this is the

00:35:57.980 right person

00:35:58.520 because reasons,

00:35:59.540 reasons, reasons.

00:36:00.580 And you listen

00:36:01.340 to the reasons,

00:36:02.060 reasons, reasons,

00:36:02.620 you go, okay,

00:36:03.360 well, those

00:36:04.400 are all true.

00:36:06.540 I mean, it

00:36:06.860 does make sense

00:36:07.640 that one person

00:36:08.440 who knows the

00:36:09.120 most and is

00:36:09.840 already involved

00:36:10.580 and he's

00:36:11.580 available and

00:36:12.780 blah, blah,

00:36:13.780 blah, yeah,

00:36:14.700 finish the job.

00:36:16.100 On the other

00:36:16.700 hand, this is

00:36:17.880 very conveniently

00:36:19.000 taking him out

00:36:20.440 of the, takes

00:36:21.240 him out of the

00:36:21.680 headlines, you

00:36:22.700 know, when the

00:36:23.140 election is coming.

00:36:25.980 So it looks

00:36:26.940 dirty to me.

00:36:29.360 Would you

00:36:29.940 agree?

00:36:30.200 I would

00:36:32.140 think that if

00:36:32.800 they wanted

00:36:33.340 something like

00:36:34.280 a good

00:36:34.620 conclusion, they

00:36:36.320 would have

00:36:36.740 picked somebody

00:36:37.400 else.

00:36:38.240 I think if

00:36:38.860 they wanted

00:36:39.360 a political

00:36:41.220 conclusion, they

00:36:42.320 would pick

00:36:42.900 Weiss.

00:36:44.100 So to me, it

00:36:44.760 looks crooked.

00:36:46.580 Not illegal, but

00:36:48.620 crooked.

00:36:51.280 All right, let's

00:36:52.220 talk about

00:36:52.540 Hunter's gun

00:36:53.280 charges.

00:36:54.020 Have I ever

00:36:54.660 talked about

00:36:55.160 that?

00:36:55.580 My opinion

00:36:56.160 about the gun

00:36:56.940 charges?

00:36:57.940 My understanding,

00:36:58.960 and I might have

00:36:59.500 this wrong,

00:37:00.200 I think there

00:37:00.800 might be more

00:37:01.280 to the gun

00:37:01.680 charge than

00:37:02.100 this, but

00:37:03.020 isn't part of

00:37:03.760 it that, or

00:37:04.480 maybe the main

00:37:05.180 part, that he

00:37:06.220 lied on his

00:37:06.860 gun application

00:37:07.660 and he said he

00:37:08.940 wasn't an

00:37:09.620 addict.

00:37:10.720 Do I

00:37:11.120 understand that

00:37:11.780 correctly?

00:37:12.920 That that's the

00:37:13.800 biggest issue?

00:37:14.880 That he said he

00:37:15.480 wasn't an addict?

00:37:16.660 So he lied on it.

00:37:18.000 How do you

00:37:18.660 Second Amendment

00:37:19.320 people square

00:37:20.560 your desire that

00:37:23.520 he be prosecuted

00:37:24.480 with that?

00:37:25.900 Now, I'm no

00:37:29.160 expert on the

00:37:30.460 Second Amendment,

00:37:31.200 but let me give

00:37:31.720 you my

00:37:32.280 preliminary

00:37:32.820 opinion.

00:37:35.520 It's probably

00:37:36.480 a good idea

00:37:37.520 to have a law

00:37:39.060 that says we

00:37:39.940 don't automatically

00:37:40.700 give guns to

00:37:42.100 drug addicts.

00:37:43.940 That might be a

00:37:44.920 good idea.

00:37:46.020 Because drug

00:37:46.820 addicts, by

00:37:48.920 and large, not

00:37:49.940 all of them, but

00:37:50.920 by and large, they

00:37:52.320 might have trouble

00:37:52.980 paying for their

00:37:53.760 drugs.

00:37:55.020 They might say,

00:37:56.140 well, I got this

00:37:56.980 gun and I need

00:37:58.340 some drugs.

00:37:59.820 So if you've got

00:38:01.180 an addiction and

00:38:02.020 no money and

00:38:02.680 you've got a gun,

00:38:03.640 that's just

00:38:04.140 banking for

00:38:04.760 trouble.

00:38:05.580 So we can

00:38:06.380 understand why

00:38:07.120 that law exists.

00:38:08.440 And I would

00:38:09.040 also agree with

00:38:10.040 anybody who

00:38:10.560 said, no, the

00:38:11.200 Second Amendment

00:38:11.700 has to be an

00:38:12.340 absolute.

00:38:14.520 People will

00:38:15.240 die.

00:38:16.100 You know, a lot

00:38:16.460 more people will

00:38:17.080 die if the

00:38:17.880 Second Amendment

00:38:18.420 is an absolute.

00:38:19.960 But you might

00:38:20.760 want it that way

00:38:21.360 anyway, because

00:38:22.720 there are benefits

00:38:23.620 from not

00:38:25.180 chipping away at

00:38:26.340 your rights.

00:38:27.980 But here's my

00:38:28.840 take.

00:38:29.400 Does anybody

00:38:29.900 think that the

00:38:30.700 law that would

00:38:32.280 deny a gun to

00:38:34.020 somebody who was

00:38:35.560 an addict, do

00:38:37.520 you think that

00:38:37.980 law was meant

00:38:38.740 for somebody like

00:38:39.520 Hunter Biden?

00:38:41.360 Do you think

00:38:42.160 that a

00:38:42.540 multimillionaire is

00:38:44.340 who they

00:38:44.720 anticipated when

00:38:45.640 they said, oh,

00:38:46.760 we don't want a

00:38:48.440 gun in the hand

00:38:49.080 of that

00:38:49.360 multimillionaire?

00:38:51.460 No.

00:38:51.940 So here's my

00:38:53.240 problem with

00:38:53.840 this.

00:38:54.780 It may be

00:38:55.900 technically against

00:38:57.000 the law, and

00:38:58.500 it may be true

00:38:59.480 that Hunter

00:39:00.040 broke a federal

00:39:01.440 law, like a

00:39:02.800 really important

00:39:03.460 federal law,

00:39:04.160 because it

00:39:04.400 involves a gun.

00:39:05.820 But it's also

00:39:06.820 true, in my

00:39:07.900 opinion, that he

00:39:09.040 was never a

00:39:09.940 special risk.

00:39:13.340 There was no

00:39:14.180 chance he was

00:39:14.800 going to use the

00:39:15.340 gun for offensive

00:39:16.380 purposes.

00:39:17.560 Am I right?

00:39:18.040 They're not

00:39:20.300 denying guns to

00:39:21.340 drug addicts

00:39:22.240 because they

00:39:23.040 might accidentally

00:39:23.940 shoot themselves.

00:39:25.760 They're denying

00:39:26.560 guns to drug

00:39:27.800 addicts so the

00:39:28.440 drug addicts

00:39:29.000 don't use them

00:39:29.580 to go get

00:39:30.820 some money.

00:39:31.980 But that's not

00:39:32.800 a risk with

00:39:33.360 Hunter Biden.

00:39:34.580 He wasn't going

00:39:35.100 to use a gun,

00:39:35.840 he was going to

00:39:36.280 use the vice

00:39:36.820 president to go

00:39:38.280 get some money,

00:39:38.900 and it worked

00:39:39.280 really well, so

00:39:39.920 he didn't need

00:39:40.320 a gun.

00:39:41.140 Now, his gun

00:39:41.840 was clearly for

00:39:42.800 defensive purposes.

00:39:43.780 Would you all

00:39:44.520 agree?

00:39:45.560 There's no

00:39:46.020 question, or at

00:39:46.880 least there's no

00:39:47.320 indication,

00:39:48.040 it was for

00:39:48.500 anything else.

00:39:49.200 But the

00:39:49.680 indication is it

00:39:50.460 was for

00:39:50.720 defensive purposes.

00:39:55.500 You don't

00:39:56.080 think the gun

00:39:56.600 was for

00:39:56.920 defensive purposes?

00:39:59.300 What do you

00:39:59.840 think it was

00:40:00.180 for?

00:40:02.780 What evidence

00:40:03.620 is there he

00:40:04.160 was going to

00:40:04.500 use the gun

00:40:04.960 for an

00:40:05.340 offensive purpose,

00:40:06.460 like to rob

00:40:07.120 a bank?

00:40:08.380 There's no

00:40:08.780 evidence of

00:40:09.280 that.

00:40:12.120 Shoot his

00:40:12.700 girlfriend.

00:40:14.000 There's no

00:40:14.540 evidence he

00:40:15.000 was going to

00:40:15.320 shoot his

00:40:15.680 girlfriend.

00:40:16.000 No.

00:40:18.720 So I'm

00:40:19.440 going to

00:40:19.600 have to,

00:40:21.080 you might

00:40:21.680 not like

00:40:22.140 this, but

00:40:23.600 I'm trying

00:40:24.100 to remain

00:40:24.860 consistent with

00:40:26.860 some standards.

00:40:28.300 And one of

00:40:28.680 my standards

00:40:29.240 is there's a

00:40:31.680 reason that

00:40:32.200 humans get 0.94

00:40:33.800 to judge the

00:40:34.640 law, right?

00:40:35.500 There's a

00:40:35.780 reason it's a

00:40:36.380 jury, there's a 0.80

00:40:37.660 reason it's a

00:40:38.260 judge in some

00:40:38.920 cases.

00:40:39.640 You need a

00:40:40.340 human being to

00:40:41.340 say, did this

00:40:42.200 law work for

00:40:43.160 this situation?

00:40:44.720 In my

00:40:45.160 opinion, this

00:40:46.420 is a

00:40:46.740 misapplied

00:40:47.260 law.

00:40:48.760 Now, nobody's

00:40:49.540 above the

00:40:50.060 law, but the

00:40:51.420 law itself is

00:40:52.380 not above

00:40:52.840 itself.

00:40:54.360 Does that

00:40:54.680 make sense?

00:40:56.140 Nobody's

00:40:56.620 above the

00:40:57.020 law, but

00:40:58.300 that doesn't

00:40:58.760 excuse the

00:40:59.380 law from

00:40:59.840 being stupid. 0.92

00:41:01.180 The law

00:41:01.620 can't be

00:41:02.020 above itself.

00:41:03.100 I mean, the

00:41:03.440 law still has

00:41:03.980 to make

00:41:04.260 sense, right?

00:41:05.620 If somebody

00:41:06.220 passed a

00:41:06.720 law that

00:41:07.080 said you

00:41:08.800 can't wear a

00:41:09.580 blue shirt

00:41:10.080 and they

00:41:11.240 execute everybody

00:41:12.100 who does,

00:41:13.340 you wouldn't

00:41:13.740 say to

00:41:14.020 yourself, well,

00:41:14.620 nobody's above

00:41:15.160 the law.

00:41:16.180 You'd say, no,

00:41:16.920 we've got to

00:41:17.220 change that

00:41:17.660 law right away.

00:41:18.300 There's

00:41:18.420 something wrong

00:41:18.740 with the

00:41:19.060 law.

00:41:20.100 You wouldn't

00:41:20.400 say there's

00:41:20.740 something wrong

00:41:21.220 with the

00:41:21.460 person who's

00:41:22.140 resisting the

00:41:23.300 law, if it's

00:41:24.820 a stupid

00:41:25.280 law.

00:41:26.660 And although

00:41:27.840 the law

00:41:28.420 is arguably

00:41:29.820 makes sense,

00:41:31.700 you know, I'm

00:41:32.080 not sure I

00:41:33.960 would have

00:41:34.220 backed it.

00:41:34.680 I'd have to

00:41:35.040 hear the

00:41:35.280 argument.

00:41:36.300 But I

00:41:38.320 think there's

00:41:38.760 no chance

00:41:39.400 whatsoever this

00:41:40.960 law was

00:41:41.780 designed or

00:41:43.260 passed with

00:41:44.520 somebody like

00:41:45.660 Hunter in

00:41:47.060 mind.

00:41:48.480 So I think

00:41:49.400 there needs to

00:41:49.880 be a penalty

00:41:50.360 because lying

00:41:52.020 on a federal

00:41:52.540 document, that

00:41:55.280 should have

00:41:55.920 some kind of

00:41:56.360 penalty.

00:41:57.220 But I'm

00:41:57.700 thinking whatever

00:41:58.500 is the smallest

00:41:59.300 penalty.

00:42:01.200 Definitely not

00:42:02.020 jail.

00:42:03.180 Definitely not

00:42:03.880 jail.

00:42:05.340 Does anybody

00:42:05.740 think he should

00:42:06.240 go to jail for

00:42:06.900 that, trying to

00:42:08.240 protect himself

00:42:09.000 with his

00:42:09.960 Second Amendment

00:42:10.520 rights, you

00:42:11.520 actually think

00:42:12.000 he should go

00:42:12.380 to jail for

00:42:12.740 that?

00:42:13.180 So I would

00:42:13.680 argue that

00:42:14.200 you're just

00:42:14.580 in team

00:42:15.080 play, you're

00:42:16.160 in team

00:42:16.560 play mode if

00:42:17.180 you think

00:42:17.480 that.

00:42:19.540 That just

00:42:20.320 feels like a

00:42:20.860 team play

00:42:21.320 decision.

00:42:22.120 You couldn't

00:42:22.720 possibly think

00:42:23.640 that somebody

00:42:24.720 wanting a

00:42:25.620 handgun to

00:42:27.380 defend themselves

00:42:28.460 in the United

00:42:30.320 States, you

00:42:30.860 can't think that

00:42:31.420 should go to

00:42:31.860 jail.

00:42:34.360 All right.

00:42:35.060 Well, we

00:42:36.780 won't solve this

00:42:37.500 today, but

00:42:37.960 that's my

00:42:38.320 opinion.

00:42:39.180 Now, that

00:42:39.800 doesn't relieve

00:42:40.700 Hunter of

00:42:41.200 any of the

00:42:41.540 other things

00:42:42.040 he may or

00:42:42.520 may not

00:42:42.820 have done.

00:42:43.780 But I

00:42:44.380 have a

00:42:44.600 second

00:42:44.800 question.

00:42:46.520 So look

00:42:47.120 at all the

00:42:47.580 influence

00:42:48.240 buying stuff.

00:42:51.300 Is it a

00:42:52.600 fairer

00:42:53.080 violation to

00:42:55.760 be an

00:42:56.340 introducer?

00:42:58.280 If your

00:42:58.900 only job is

00:42:59.680 to make

00:43:00.060 introductions,

00:43:01.700 is that a

00:43:02.400 fairer

00:43:02.740 violation?

00:43:03.180 Now, forget

00:43:05.440 for a moment

00:43:06.040 that there's a

00:43:07.400 debate about

00:43:07.960 whether that's

00:43:08.480 the only thing

00:43:09.020 he was doing.

00:43:10.560 But if it's

00:43:11.360 the only thing

00:43:11.820 that could be

00:43:12.240 proven, and

00:43:13.400 so far it is,

00:43:14.500 so far the only

00:43:15.420 thing we've seen

00:43:16.020 is introductions,

00:43:17.240 do you think it

00:43:18.080 should be illegal

00:43:19.000 to make

00:43:20.020 introductions?

00:43:22.300 I don't.

00:43:23.920 If there's a

00:43:24.720 law that says

00:43:25.260 you can't

00:43:25.700 introduce people

00:43:26.500 from another

00:43:27.040 country to

00:43:28.160 someone in

00:43:28.660 this country,

00:43:30.360 there's a lot

00:43:31.320 of people that

00:43:31.840 are going to

00:43:32.100 go to jail, 0.97

00:43:32.640 aren't they?

00:43:33.840 What would

00:43:34.460 happen if

00:43:34.920 you knew

00:43:35.240 somebody in

00:43:35.740 another

00:43:36.000 country,

00:43:37.080 they were

00:43:37.340 just a

00:43:37.840 friend of

00:43:38.160 yours,

00:43:38.620 and they

00:43:39.140 called you

00:43:39.480 and said,

00:43:40.060 you know,

00:43:41.160 Scott, you

00:43:41.960 deal in

00:43:42.620 politics a

00:43:43.200 lot, could

00:43:43.660 you connect

00:43:44.220 me with

00:43:44.940 some senator?

00:43:47.960 And I

00:43:48.300 would say,

00:43:48.840 well, you

00:43:49.100 know what,

00:43:49.680 we follow

00:43:51.540 each other

00:43:52.040 on Twitter.

00:43:53.460 Yeah, I'll

00:43:54.100 send a DM.

00:43:55.800 You've got a

00:43:56.460 problem over

00:43:57.000 there, maybe

00:43:57.600 it's in our

00:43:58.020 interest too.

00:43:59.100 It's not

00:43:59.560 against the

00:44:00.060 interests of the

00:44:00.560 United States,

00:44:01.240 it's just

00:44:01.500 somebody who

00:44:01.820 wants to

00:44:02.180 maybe knows

00:44:03.220 who to

00:44:04.180 talk to,

00:44:05.180 sort of

00:44:05.560 thing.

00:44:06.460 So I

00:44:06.980 wouldn't even

00:44:07.580 think twice.

00:44:08.960 I would

00:44:09.260 think, oh,

00:44:10.460 my Afghanistan

00:44:11.440 friend, sure,

00:44:13.100 I'll send a

00:44:14.100 DM to this

00:44:14.760 person I just

00:44:15.340 happen to know,

00:44:16.260 I'll connect

00:44:16.840 you.

00:44:17.400 Would that be a

00:44:18.580 far violation?

00:44:19.840 Did I just

00:44:21.220 describe breaking

00:44:22.080 the law?

00:44:23.900 Can somebody

00:44:24.680 tell me the

00:44:25.560 real answer to

00:44:26.800 that?

00:44:26.940 I mean, I

00:44:27.560 think we're

00:44:27.860 just guessing,

00:44:28.560 but, well,

00:44:30.500 let's say he

00:44:31.120 paid me.

00:44:31.960 Let's say I

00:44:32.460 got paid for

00:44:33.000 it.

00:44:33.700 Let's say my

00:44:34.240 friend said,

00:44:34.740 you know what,

00:44:35.840 I'll invest in

00:44:37.500 your company or

00:44:38.060 something, it'd

00:44:39.200 be a nice

00:44:39.580 favor if you

00:44:40.560 could make

00:44:40.820 this introduction

00:44:41.480 for me.

00:44:45.440 So I'm not

00:44:46.960 going to say

00:44:47.360 it's not

00:44:47.820 illegal, because

00:44:48.520 I don't know,

00:44:50.120 but I'll give

00:44:50.840 you my opinion.

00:44:52.640 It should not

00:44:53.560 be illegal.

00:44:54.100 It should not

00:44:55.940 be illegal.

00:44:56.760 If it is,

00:44:58.880 you know, maybe

00:44:59.840 it is, but do

00:45:02.340 you want to live

00:45:03.040 in a world where

00:45:03.640 you can't

00:45:04.020 introduce people?

00:45:06.080 I mean, seriously.

00:45:07.380 Do you want to

00:45:08.040 live in a world

00:45:08.580 where you need to

00:45:09.280 sign a piece of

00:45:10.020 paper and a

00:45:11.100 document and tell

00:45:12.500 the world, I

00:45:13.180 might introduce

00:45:13.840 somebody?

00:45:14.660 Now, of course,

00:45:15.340 if it's your main

00:45:16.020 business, you know,

00:45:17.540 you're going to do

00:45:18.020 a lot of it, but

00:45:19.520 I have a real

00:45:20.460 problem with

00:45:21.260 introductions being

00:45:22.500 illegal.

00:45:22.940 Now, my guess

00:45:24.260 is this.

00:45:25.620 My guess is

00:45:26.700 that since

00:45:27.160 Hunter was

00:45:27.860 operating somewhat

00:45:29.360 openly, wouldn't

00:45:30.820 you say, as do

00:45:33.200 other people,

00:45:33.940 somewhat openly

00:45:34.720 making introductions,

00:45:37.020 I don't think

00:45:38.540 that Hunter

00:45:38.920 thought it was

00:45:39.440 illegal.

00:45:41.200 Do you?

00:45:43.100 My guess, this

00:45:44.420 is just speculation,

00:45:45.600 so I can't read

00:45:46.260 his mind, right?

00:45:47.220 But without the

00:45:47.980 mind reading, if I

00:45:49.600 put myself in this

00:45:50.560 situation, I doubt

00:45:52.340 how I would have

00:45:52.940 acted so visibly if

00:45:54.520 I knew it was

00:45:55.280 illegal.

00:45:56.420 I think I might

00:45:57.280 have said, I've

00:45:58.000 got an argument

00:45:58.720 why it's not, and

00:46:00.620 as long as I have

00:46:01.280 an argument, you

00:46:02.280 know, I'm going to

00:46:02.580 be okay.

00:46:03.560 The argument might

00:46:04.380 be a little

00:46:04.700 specious, but as

00:46:06.080 long as I have an

00:46:06.600 argument, I think

00:46:07.320 I'm okay.

00:46:07.920 And the argument

00:46:08.720 would be, I'm not

00:46:10.540 asking anybody to

00:46:11.820 give any favors to

00:46:13.160 this other country,

00:46:14.220 I'm simply

00:46:14.880 introducing them.

00:46:16.400 And people meet

00:46:17.100 people in the

00:46:18.440 ordinary course of

00:46:19.340 life, maybe they

00:46:20.620 could have found

00:46:21.080 this person on

00:46:21.780 their own, you

00:46:22.800 know, it just

00:46:23.320 would have taken

00:46:23.860 more work, I'm

00:46:25.040 just saving them

00:46:25.580 some time.

00:46:27.140 So I have a

00:46:28.160 feeling that

00:46:28.760 introducing people

00:46:30.000 is going to end

00:46:31.380 up not being

00:46:32.240 illegal, that

00:46:33.680 there would have

00:46:34.340 to be the

00:46:34.780 extra, you

00:46:36.740 know, something

00:46:37.680 happened because

00:46:38.460 of it, some

00:46:38.960 influence.

00:46:42.940 So it's not

00:46:44.320 illegal, but maybe

00:46:45.240 he did more,

00:46:46.060 some people say.

00:46:47.180 Now, I'm not

00:46:47.800 judging them more,

00:46:49.140 I'm just trying to

00:46:49.900 predict where this

00:46:50.640 will go.

00:46:51.700 In my opinion,

00:46:53.000 Hunter is not

00:46:55.080 dumb, at least,

00:46:57.260 you know, not

00:46:57.760 the classic way.

00:46:59.460 Like, his IQ seems

00:47:00.580 to be high.

00:47:01.240 Would you agree

00:47:01.720 with that?

00:47:03.060 He's done some

00:47:03.860 things that you

00:47:04.360 wouldn't do and I

00:47:05.020 wouldn't do, but,

00:47:05.720 you know, drugs are

00:47:06.380 involved, etc.

00:47:07.640 But he's not a

00:47:08.700 low IQ guy.

00:47:10.960 Nobody thinks he's

00:47:11.820 actually low IQ,

00:47:12.820 right?

00:47:13.560 Nobody.

00:47:14.880 So if you're that

00:47:15.920 smart, you don't 0.94

00:47:17.760 think you've

00:47:18.240 figured out a way

00:47:19.020 to do these

00:47:19.660 sketchy things in a

00:47:20.920 way that at least

00:47:21.720 you have a good

00:47:22.240 argument.

00:47:22.620 Because I think in

00:47:23.840 his case, he

00:47:24.480 probably thinks,

00:47:25.380 if I have an

00:47:26.380 argument, the

00:47:28.360 government's going to

00:47:29.120 leave me alone because

00:47:30.460 I'm too politically

00:47:31.240 connected.

00:47:32.420 If he had no

00:47:33.340 argument, it was just

00:47:34.280 like flat-out crime,

00:47:36.020 well, he would

00:47:36.620 probably think he

00:47:37.180 wasn't protected.

00:47:37.920 But if he had

00:47:39.560 something of an

00:47:40.400 argument, that's

00:47:41.940 probably enough for

00:47:42.540 the government to

00:47:43.160 leave him alone if 0.73

00:47:44.020 you're that connected

00:47:45.520 to the government.

00:47:47.560 I would not be

00:47:48.480 surprised if none of

00:47:50.140 the Hunter Biden

00:47:50.980 stuff turns into a

00:47:52.320 major crime with

00:47:53.360 jail.

00:47:55.140 To me, this is the

00:47:56.340 stuff that ought to

00:47:56.900 get worked out.

00:47:58.060 Now, I'm not being

00:47:59.300 naive.

00:48:00.700 I do think that he

00:48:01.680 was selling influence,

00:48:03.260 or at least the

00:48:03.900 illusion of influence,

00:48:04.860 which is so close to

00:48:07.920 real influence that,

00:48:09.140 I don't know, I

00:48:09.680 wouldn't even make a

00:48:10.300 distinction, really.

00:48:12.120 But I don't think

00:48:12.980 it's going to be

00:48:13.480 provable.

00:48:15.600 Do you?

00:48:17.500 I just don't think

00:48:18.400 it's provable.

00:48:20.340 So I think the

00:48:21.280 outcome will be no

00:48:22.440 jail, and they'll 0.93

00:48:24.440 hide this as long

00:48:25.820 as they can, and

00:48:26.800 statute of

00:48:27.360 limitations will run

00:48:28.400 out on some stuff,

00:48:29.940 and it'll just

00:48:30.400 trickle into nothing.

00:48:32.620 Well, RFK Jr.

00:48:33.580 had what I

00:48:34.940 consider the best

00:48:35.600 take on the

00:48:36.140 Hawaii fires, which

00:48:37.720 the death count is

00:48:38.680 up to 59, I think.

00:48:40.880 No, 80.

00:48:41.720 I think the death

00:48:42.300 count is up to 80

00:48:43.060 the last I checked,

00:48:44.020 and it's going to

00:48:44.920 get worse.

00:48:46.900 But instead of

00:48:48.700 blaming climate

00:48:49.540 change, which is

00:48:51.040 the idiot move, if 0.84

00:48:53.920 I can just say that,

00:48:55.200 blaming the Hawaii

00:48:56.660 fires just on

00:48:58.040 climate change,

00:48:59.540 that's sort of an

00:49:00.260 idiot move. 0.93

00:49:01.900 Nobody knows that.

00:49:03.580 We can know it's

00:49:04.460 a factor.

00:49:05.740 It could be a

00:49:06.500 factor.

00:49:08.140 But we don't know

00:49:08.960 that's the reason.

00:49:10.740 So RFK finds the

00:49:12.700 high ground here, and

00:49:14.160 he basically says,

00:49:15.960 Hawaii fires result

00:49:17.000 from poor tending

00:49:17.960 of the land.

00:49:19.360 So he goes into

00:49:20.180 his explanation of

00:49:21.240 why the land was

00:49:23.720 ready to burn that

00:49:25.420 way.

00:49:26.720 But he doesn't

00:49:27.980 dismiss that there

00:49:29.720 could be a climate

00:49:30.420 element to it.

00:49:31.180 But he says,

00:49:34.100 you don't know.

00:49:35.720 I mean, that's

00:49:36.260 way more than we

00:49:37.500 know.

00:49:38.580 Now, that's

00:49:39.220 consistent with

00:49:40.880 his theme for

00:49:42.720 drugs and food.

00:49:44.840 We just don't know

00:49:45.960 they're safe.

00:49:47.520 And then he takes

00:49:48.140 that to climate

00:49:48.880 change, and he

00:49:49.520 says, maybe, but we

00:49:51.460 don't know that.

00:49:52.760 The part we know

00:49:53.460 for sure is we're

00:49:54.380 not managing the

00:49:55.240 land and the water

00:49:56.980 correctly.

00:49:57.440 So then he ends

00:49:59.320 with an appeal to

00:50:00.200 find the middle

00:50:00.840 ground, which is,

00:50:01.780 can't we all just

00:50:02.400 agree that we

00:50:03.220 should manage our

00:50:04.060 land and our

00:50:04.900 water better?

00:50:06.380 We don't have to

00:50:07.400 agree on climate

00:50:08.100 change.

00:50:09.500 You could disagree

00:50:10.500 on climate change,

00:50:11.520 but still, don't we

00:50:12.580 agree that we

00:50:14.160 should reduce the

00:50:15.080 risk of fires?

00:50:16.880 So, and it's

00:50:18.160 funny watching him

00:50:20.020 find the common

00:50:21.840 high ground that

00:50:23.680 you can't argue

00:50:24.400 with.

00:50:24.820 There's just no

00:50:25.340 argument to that.

00:50:26.140 Who is it who

00:50:27.240 is saying, no, we

00:50:27.800 should not manage

00:50:28.560 our fire risks?

00:50:30.980 Nobody, right?

00:50:32.500 Of course.

00:50:33.760 So, I think he

00:50:36.240 found the perfect

00:50:37.260 sweet spot.

00:50:38.360 You know, don't

00:50:38.760 become a climate

00:50:39.700 change crazy person,

00:50:41.820 but don't ignore

00:50:42.780 that the brush is

00:50:44.320 extra bad this

00:50:45.800 year, so you

00:50:46.440 should do

00:50:46.740 something about

00:50:47.260 it.

00:50:48.320 I just liked his

00:50:49.840 reasonable middle

00:50:50.760 ground because it's

00:50:52.520 so rare that anybody

00:50:54.660 can find the middle.

00:50:56.140 All right.

00:50:58.480 CNN is starting

00:51:00.160 to show a little

00:51:01.320 doubt about funding

00:51:02.540 the Ukraine war.

00:51:04.680 And I'm going to

00:51:05.660 call this as a

00:51:06.940 signal of some

00:51:08.660 kind of a shift.

00:51:10.800 So, last week,

00:51:12.600 CNN had a poll

00:51:13.340 that said 55%

00:51:14.580 of the public

00:51:15.440 doesn't want

00:51:16.760 Congress to give

00:51:17.440 more money to

00:51:18.280 Ukraine.

00:51:18.780 and 45% say yes.

00:51:21.800 So, that's a

00:51:22.240 pretty solid lead

00:51:23.540 saying don't give

00:51:24.960 more funding to

00:51:25.920 Ukraine.

00:51:28.260 And CNN's, the

00:51:30.280 way CNN is talking

00:51:31.180 about it is, here's

00:51:32.980 their actual sentence

00:51:33.900 on their website.

00:51:34.960 The White House

00:51:35.940 on Wednesday

00:51:36.500 downplayed CNN

00:51:38.680 polling showing

00:51:40.280 most Americans

00:51:41.180 oppose the funding

00:51:42.840 of Ukraine.

00:51:43.460 think of that

00:51:45.640 choice of words.

00:51:47.280 This is CNN.

00:51:48.700 They love them

00:51:49.620 some Democrats.

00:51:51.080 But they're saying

00:51:51.800 they show their

00:51:52.780 own poll.

00:51:54.520 So, their own

00:51:55.340 poll says that

00:51:57.360 funding is not

00:51:58.580 popular by the

00:51:59.520 public.

00:52:00.800 And then it says

00:52:01.820 the White House

00:52:02.340 downplayed the CNN

00:52:04.080 poll.

00:52:04.500 So, you can see

00:52:06.980 them beginning to

00:52:07.640 turn, right?

00:52:08.660 They just turned

00:52:09.260 on them.

00:52:10.420 It's like, wait,

00:52:11.640 this is our poll.

00:52:13.620 Imagine being CNN.

00:52:15.360 Imagine all the

00:52:16.120 water that CNN

00:52:16.980 has carried for

00:52:17.740 Democrats.

00:52:18.940 CNN is just doing

00:52:19.860 everything for

00:52:20.500 Democrats.

00:52:21.380 And then they put

00:52:21.960 out their own

00:52:22.500 poll, and the

00:52:23.620 White House

00:52:23.980 downplays their

00:52:24.840 poll.

00:52:25.820 Imagine how you'd

00:52:26.560 feel.

00:52:28.420 I've been carrying

00:52:29.480 your water for

00:52:30.640 years.

00:52:32.520 I've told every

00:52:33.600 imaginable

00:52:34.360 lie you could

00:52:35.160 imagine and

00:52:35.920 pretended we

00:52:36.600 believed it.

00:52:38.320 Could you just

00:52:39.200 say that the

00:52:40.940 poll is actually

00:52:41.780 meaningful?

00:52:42.900 It's our poll.

00:52:44.240 A little bit of

00:52:45.040 reciprocity wouldn't

00:52:46.800 be the worst

00:52:47.360 thing.

00:52:48.200 You can almost

00:52:48.880 feel like the

00:52:49.620 tension there

00:52:50.380 starting to

00:52:52.120 form.

00:52:53.140 Of course, you

00:52:54.240 would not be

00:52:54.700 surprised that the

00:52:56.140 Democrats are

00:52:57.060 strongly in favor

00:52:57.940 of funding.

00:52:58.940 The Republicans

00:52:59.480 are strongly

00:53:00.400 against further

00:53:01.440 funding.

00:53:02.820 And where did

00:53:03.700 we get to the

00:53:04.280 point where

00:53:05.380 the opinions

00:53:06.540 about unnecessary

00:53:08.140 wars reversed?

00:53:10.340 When did the

00:53:11.200 Republicans be

00:53:11.960 the ones who

00:53:12.460 don't want

00:53:12.940 unnecessary wars?

00:53:15.920 Do you think

00:53:16.720 that the only

00:53:17.440 thing happening

00:53:18.240 is team play?

00:53:20.700 Do you think

00:53:21.480 that if a

00:53:22.040 Republican had

00:53:23.540 been the leader

00:53:24.220 who said,

00:53:24.680 we've got to

00:53:25.020 do this Ukraine

00:53:25.760 thing, do you

00:53:26.720 think the numbers

00:53:27.300 would be actually

00:53:28.400 reversed?

00:53:29.540 And the Democrats

00:53:30.620 would be saying,

00:53:31.300 my God, why are you

00:53:32.260 funding this war?

00:53:33.100 Of course, of

00:53:33.860 course.

00:53:34.620 Then let me ask

00:53:35.400 you this.

00:53:36.720 Do you think the

00:53:37.680 media is the

00:53:38.580 reason for the

00:53:39.200 war?

00:53:40.300 Because the media

00:53:41.280 is what causes

00:53:42.260 us to be divided.

00:53:43.620 Let's say the

00:53:44.280 media's business

00:53:45.060 model of chasing

00:53:46.780 outrage.

00:53:47.620 It causes the

00:53:48.740 teams to move

00:53:49.700 to their teams.

00:53:51.620 And now it's

00:53:52.340 caused a huge

00:53:53.460 number of people

00:53:54.180 to be in favor

00:53:55.580 of an unnecessary

00:53:56.580 war so that 0.67

00:53:58.480 they can be on

00:53:59.060 the other side

00:53:59.660 from the

00:54:00.040 Republicans.

00:54:00.520 To me, it

00:54:03.500 looks like team

00:54:04.340 play is why

00:54:06.000 we fund the

00:54:06.560 war.

00:54:07.160 It doesn't

00:54:07.560 look like we

00:54:08.140 thought it

00:54:08.560 out and it's

00:54:09.260 in our favor

00:54:09.820 and we've

00:54:10.780 considered all

00:54:11.360 the alternatives

00:54:12.000 and, you

00:54:12.620 know, it

00:54:13.500 doesn't look

00:54:13.940 like that.

00:54:14.340 It looks like

00:54:14.880 the media

00:54:15.500 poisoned the

00:54:17.580 public to

00:54:18.140 the point where

00:54:18.780 you just can't

00:54:19.760 be on the

00:54:20.160 other side's

00:54:21.200 team.

00:54:22.440 It's impossible.

00:54:24.320 And that's

00:54:24.820 why we have

00:54:26.000 enough support

00:54:26.560 to fund it.

00:54:27.500 Because 45,

00:54:28.600 you can get

00:54:28.980 away with.

00:54:30.520 But much

00:54:31.000 less than

00:54:31.360 that, he

00:54:31.620 couldn't.

00:54:33.500 All right.

00:54:34.420 I saw a

00:54:35.580 video in

00:54:36.340 which Klaus

00:54:36.980 and Schwab,

00:54:38.400 if this is

00:54:39.080 real, because

00:54:39.640 remember, we're

00:54:40.260 in the age of

00:54:41.020 deep fakes, I

00:54:42.820 think this is

00:54:43.540 real, but I'm

00:54:45.440 not going to

00:54:45.820 guarantee it.

00:54:47.000 So put a

00:54:48.560 little question

00:54:49.120 mark, put an

00:54:49.840 asterisk on this

00:54:50.580 story, because

00:54:51.640 the video itself

00:54:52.460 could be fake.

00:54:53.780 I think it's

00:54:54.480 true.

00:54:55.440 But anyway,

00:54:55.840 here's what

00:54:56.240 Klaus Schwab

00:54:56.880 allegedly said.

00:54:57.980 in the new

00:54:59.120 world, uh-oh.

00:55:02.400 He's in

00:55:02.940 trouble right

00:55:03.420 off the bat in

00:55:05.520 the new world, and

00:55:06.700 all of you just

00:55:07.320 went, what's wrong

00:55:08.700 with the old

00:55:09.140 one?

00:55:10.040 All right.

00:55:10.420 In the new

00:55:10.860 world, you have

00:55:11.580 to accept total

00:55:12.500 what?

00:55:13.440 You have to

00:55:14.080 accept total

00:55:14.800 transparency.

00:55:16.080 It will become

00:55:17.080 part of your

00:55:17.720 personality.

00:55:19.080 You have to

00:55:19.900 accept it.

00:55:20.920 In the new

00:55:21.720 world, you'll

00:55:22.920 have to accept.

00:55:23.760 everything will

00:55:27.360 be transparent.

00:55:28.460 If you have

00:55:28.880 nothing to hide,

00:55:29.880 you have no

00:55:30.360 reason to be

00:55:30.860 afraid.

00:55:33.980 So what do

00:55:34.600 you think of

00:55:34.920 that?

00:55:36.180 Is that the,

00:55:36.900 uh, is he

00:55:41.320 telling you that

00:55:41.920 he's going to

00:55:42.480 make you do it,

00:55:43.560 or is he

00:55:44.000 predicting?

00:55:45.180 Is he saying

00:55:46.040 he's causing it,

00:55:47.200 or is he

00:55:47.720 predicting it?

00:55:49.440 How do you

00:55:50.060 interpret this?

00:55:52.400 All right, well,

00:55:53.120 I'm going to

00:55:53.380 make your heads

00:55:54.080 catch on fire

00:55:54.760 because I

00:55:55.240 agree with

00:55:55.720 him 100%.

00:55:56.680 I agree 100%.

00:55:59.200 As a prediction,

00:56:01.700 as a prediction,

00:56:03.880 do you know

00:56:04.280 why there's a

00:56:04.780 100% chance

00:56:05.660 that you will

00:56:06.180 lose all

00:56:06.800 privacy?

00:56:07.860 Does anybody

00:56:08.320 know the

00:56:08.640 answer?

00:56:09.300 There's a

00:56:09.660 100% chance

00:56:10.740 you'll lose

00:56:11.160 all privacy.

00:56:11.960 Why?

00:56:14.260 Correct answer

00:56:15.120 number one,

00:56:15.800 you already

00:56:16.200 have.

00:56:17.680 You already

00:56:18.060 have.

00:56:18.960 Do you

00:56:19.600 believe that

00:56:20.040 any of your

00:56:20.580 communications

00:56:21.280 are not

00:56:22.800 monitored?

00:56:24.660 They only

00:56:25.400 need a reason.

00:56:27.060 They just

00:56:27.560 need a reason,

00:56:28.420 and they

00:56:28.620 already have

00:56:29.040 access to

00:56:29.520 all of your

00:56:29.920 bank accounts,

00:56:31.240 they can unwind

00:56:32.640 your entire

00:56:33.120 life, all of

00:56:34.440 your private

00:56:35.060 messages,

00:56:36.760 et cetera.

00:56:40.100 So, yeah,

00:56:41.680 so you don't

00:56:42.240 have much

00:56:42.800 privacy, you

00:56:43.840 just didn't

00:56:44.440 know it was

00:56:44.960 happening.

00:56:45.480 It happened

00:56:45.880 gradually until

00:56:46.600 you didn't

00:56:46.900 have any.

00:56:47.780 But that's

00:56:48.940 different from

00:56:50.240 your neighbor

00:56:52.500 knowing what

00:56:53.080 you're doing.

00:56:54.040 It's bad

00:56:54.520 enough that

00:56:54.900 the government

00:56:55.360 can know

00:56:55.840 anything it

00:56:56.320 wants.

00:56:57.080 But it

00:56:57.380 would be

00:56:57.600 bad if

00:56:57.960 your neighbor

00:56:58.360 could just

00:56:58.860 see everything.

00:56:59.700 That would

00:56:59.880 be kind of

00:57:00.240 scary.

00:57:01.180 However,

00:57:01.900 here's why I

00:57:02.700 agree with

00:57:03.160 the prediction.

00:57:04.300 This is not

00:57:04.860 a preference.

00:57:06.860 I'm not

00:57:07.600 talking about a

00:57:08.500 preference.

00:57:09.860 I'm predicting.

00:57:11.460 You will have

00:57:12.340 no privacy

00:57:13.320 whatsoever because

00:57:14.340 every individual

00:57:15.400 will have the

00:57:16.060 power to

00:57:16.620 destroy an

00:57:17.340 entire city.

00:57:19.080 Do you

00:57:19.800 disagree with

00:57:20.460 my statement

00:57:21.060 that in the

00:57:22.440 near future,

00:57:23.820 whether it's

00:57:24.460 AI or

00:57:25.240 biological

00:57:25.860 entities or

00:57:27.260 building your

00:57:28.180 own nuclear

00:57:28.640 weapon, do

00:57:30.040 you agree that

00:57:31.080 we're pretty

00:57:31.620 close, maybe

00:57:32.740 20 years away,

00:57:33.960 from the point

00:57:34.860 where any

00:57:35.460 individual can

00:57:36.280 destroy an

00:57:37.000 entire city?

00:57:38.720 Yeah.

00:57:39.260 Once you

00:57:39.880 reach that

00:57:40.340 point, will

00:57:41.880 any cities be

00:57:42.940 destroyed?

00:57:43.400 Once you

00:57:45.560 get to the

00:57:45.860 point where

00:57:46.180 somebody can,

00:57:47.140 will they do

00:57:47.560 it?

00:57:47.720 Of course.

00:57:48.260 Yeah, of

00:57:48.480 course.

00:57:49.160 Will they do

00:57:49.720 it more than

00:57:50.160 once?

00:57:51.900 Probably.

00:57:52.860 Probably.

00:57:53.540 After they've

00:57:54.280 done it three

00:57:54.840 times and

00:57:55.800 three major

00:57:56.560 cities have

00:57:57.160 been completely

00:57:58.060 destroyed,

00:57:59.760 what will

00:58:00.360 happen next?

00:58:02.620 We will

00:58:03.320 realize there's

00:58:04.100 literally only

00:58:04.980 one way to

00:58:05.640 stop it from

00:58:06.240 happening again,

00:58:07.720 and that will

00:58:08.240 involve a

00:58:09.040 complete lack

00:58:09.900 of privacy for

00:58:11.340 all humans

00:58:11.940 that come in

00:58:13.020 the country

00:58:13.360 anyway.

00:58:14.180 They will

00:58:14.680 have to

00:58:14.960 remove all

00:58:15.640 privacy to

00:58:17.360 prevent one

00:58:18.820 person from

00:58:19.460 destroying an

00:58:20.080 entire city

00:58:20.780 over and over

00:58:21.820 again.

00:58:23.720 Now, if you

00:58:25.000 don't believe

00:58:25.580 that prediction,

00:58:27.140 tell me how

00:58:28.060 else it could

00:58:28.880 go.

00:58:30.740 Do you

00:58:31.480 believe that

00:58:32.020 one person

00:58:32.560 won't have

00:58:33.180 that ability?

00:58:34.680 Because that

00:58:35.400 seems like a

00:58:35.960 stretch.

00:58:36.860 Or do you

00:58:37.680 believe that

00:58:38.140 they won't

00:58:38.500 use it?

00:58:39.820 Because that

00:58:40.420 would be like

00:58:41.160 not understanding

00:58:42.080 humans.

00:58:43.020 Maybe any

00:58:43.980 one person

00:58:44.680 won't use

00:58:45.200 it, but

00:58:46.060 if you have

00:58:46.420 millions and

00:58:46.980 millions and

00:58:47.460 billions of

00:58:48.960 people,

00:58:50.080 somebody's going

00:58:50.780 to use it.

00:58:51.400 You only need

00:58:51.900 one to

00:58:52.960 destroy a

00:58:53.420 whole city.

00:58:55.420 And what

00:58:56.380 would be the

00:58:56.880 other way to

00:58:57.560 fix it?

00:58:59.120 The only way

00:58:59.940 to fix it is

00:59:00.700 to fix it

00:59:01.200 before it

00:59:01.600 happens.

00:59:03.120 Have you

00:59:03.380 noticed that

00:59:03.940 there hasn't

00:59:06.180 been a major

00:59:06.700 terrorist attack

00:59:07.420 in the United

00:59:07.860 States in

00:59:08.780 how long?

00:59:09.360 When was

00:59:10.840 the last

00:59:11.260 major terrorist

00:59:12.380 attack in

00:59:12.860 the United

00:59:13.140 States?

00:59:14.960 Do you

00:59:15.600 think that's

00:59:16.000 a coincidence?

00:59:17.400 Do you

00:59:17.800 think it's

00:59:18.160 because no

00:59:18.740 terrorists

00:59:19.120 wanted to

00:59:19.620 attack?

00:59:22.540 The fact

00:59:23.380 that there's

00:59:23.740 been no

00:59:24.160 terrorist

00:59:24.500 attack for

00:59:25.860 this long

00:59:26.920 pretty much

00:59:28.540 guarantees that

00:59:29.420 all privacy

00:59:30.080 is already

00:59:30.700 gone.

00:59:31.960 Would you

00:59:32.300 agree?

00:59:33.140 There's no

00:59:33.840 other way we

00:59:34.520 could be

00:59:34.860 stopping what

00:59:36.120 I presume

00:59:36.840 would be a

00:59:37.360 lot of

00:59:37.620 terrorist

00:59:37.920 attacks.

00:59:38.360 There's no

00:59:39.780 way we

00:59:40.140 could have

00:59:40.420 100%

00:59:41.040 efficiency

00:59:41.580 unless there's

00:59:43.100 no privacy.

00:59:44.760 I think it's

00:59:45.400 guaranteed that

00:59:46.080 we have no

00:59:46.460 privacy already.

00:59:47.820 Now, when I

00:59:48.600 say no

00:59:48.940 privacy, that

00:59:49.640 doesn't mean

00:59:50.200 they're looking

00:59:50.580 into your

00:59:51.280 stuff.

00:59:52.480 They're, of

00:59:53.100 course, looking

00:59:53.620 into my

00:59:54.060 stuff.

00:59:55.040 Do you

00:59:55.460 think I

00:59:55.780 have any

00:59:56.120 privacy?

00:59:57.800 Given what

00:59:58.540 you know about

00:59:59.240 what I do

00:59:59.860 in public and

01:00:00.820 the things I

01:00:01.440 say, and

01:00:03.220 the fact that

01:00:03.800 we have a

01:00:04.420 Democrat in

01:00:05.160 office, do

01:00:06.040 you think that

01:00:06.660 nobody's looking

01:00:07.380 at my

01:00:07.700 communication?

01:00:08.360 I would

01:00:10.740 be amazed.

01:00:12.040 I'd be

01:00:12.360 amazed if

01:00:12.960 nobody's already

01:00:13.660 in my

01:00:14.020 WhatsApp and

01:00:14.740 all my

01:00:15.980 DMs.

01:00:16.680 I'd be

01:00:16.980 amazed.

01:00:17.840 So I try

01:00:18.580 not to

01:00:19.020 commit any

01:00:19.720 crimes,

01:00:20.580 because I

01:00:22.340 already live

01:00:22.880 in Klaus

01:00:23.420 Schwab's

01:00:24.160 future.

01:00:25.780 My reality

01:00:26.700 is that I

01:00:27.560 have no

01:00:28.360 privacy,

01:00:29.560 because I'm

01:00:30.120 a public

01:00:30.520 figure, and

01:00:31.360 I talk about

01:00:31.880 politics.

01:00:32.920 So I just

01:00:33.540 assume the

01:00:34.080 government's

01:00:34.620 crawled through

01:00:35.140 my business

01:00:36.080 more than

01:00:37.020 once.

01:00:38.460 Don't you?

01:00:40.680 Yeah.

01:00:41.300 And I run a

01:00:42.780 clean shop, and

01:00:44.040 I do that because

01:00:44.760 I always assumed

01:00:45.660 I had no

01:00:46.160 privacy.

01:00:47.180 So I run my

01:00:48.140 life like I

01:00:48.880 have no

01:00:49.260 privacy.

01:00:50.460 And it

01:00:51.060 doesn't really

01:00:51.500 hurt me. 0.53

01:00:52.560 You'd be amazed

01:00:53.760 how rarely I

01:00:55.240 need to commit

01:00:55.780 a crime.

01:00:57.200 It doesn't

01:00:57.980 come up a lot.

01:00:59.200 It just sort of

01:00:59.780 doesn't come up.

01:01:00.520 Yeah, I just

01:01:01.220 do my stuff.

01:01:02.940 So, anyway,

01:01:06.540 yeah, I think

01:01:07.280 that we'll all

01:01:08.600 lose our

01:01:09.000 privacy.

01:01:09.820 I can't

01:01:10.500 predict that

01:01:10.980 it'll be good

01:01:11.440 or bad, and

01:01:12.180 I'm not going

01:01:12.740 to get into

01:01:13.180 that now, but

01:01:14.000 as a prediction,

01:01:15.000 I think it's

01:01:15.400 guaranteed.

01:01:16.840 It might be

01:01:17.580 good, by the

01:01:18.020 way.

01:01:18.300 You might

01:01:18.660 enjoy it.

01:01:19.700 And the

01:01:20.120 reason I say

01:01:20.620 you might

01:01:20.960 enjoy it is

01:01:22.240 that it

01:01:23.580 doesn't really

01:01:24.040 hurt me. 0.53

01:01:26.420 Maybe you'd

01:01:27.040 find the same,

01:01:28.360 because I'm

01:01:28.920 sort of living

01:01:29.440 in the future

01:01:30.000 that way.

01:01:30.520 All right,

01:01:32.860 there's a

01:01:33.240 story, there's

01:01:33.860 a new study

01:01:34.400 that somebody

01:01:35.780 found that

01:01:36.400 the universe

01:01:37.120 might be

01:01:38.160 27 billion

01:01:39.060 years old

01:01:39.840 instead of

01:01:40.500 close to

01:01:41.440 14.

01:01:42.340 So, maybe

01:01:43.020 we're doubling

01:01:44.260 the age of

01:01:44.940 the universe.

01:01:46.120 Now, it's a

01:01:46.820 study, so who

01:01:47.680 knows if that

01:01:48.480 will hold

01:01:48.840 up.

01:01:49.940 But, at

01:01:52.820 the same

01:01:53.160 time, I've

01:01:54.560 told you this

01:01:55.220 before, that

01:01:56.220 evolution has

01:01:58.800 been debunked

01:01:59.600 by the

01:02:00.640 simulation

01:02:00.980 theory, in

01:02:01.840 my opinion.

01:02:04.020 So, by

01:02:04.440 here and

01:02:04.660 now, I'm

01:02:04.900 going to tell

01:02:05.220 you something

01:02:05.580 that maybe

01:02:06.080 some of you

01:02:06.580 haven't heard

01:02:07.000 before.

01:02:08.160 25 years

01:02:09.120 ago, and

01:02:09.620 by the way,

01:02:10.060 you're just

01:02:10.360 going to have

01:02:10.660 to take my

01:02:12.020 word for

01:02:12.380 this.

01:02:13.040 I wish I

01:02:13.880 could, like,

01:02:16.200 find an

01:02:17.120 email or

01:02:17.720 something.

01:02:18.060 But, 25

01:02:19.680 years ago, I

01:02:20.680 promise you

01:02:21.560 on my

01:02:22.960 dog's life

01:02:25.140 that this

01:02:25.560 is true.

01:02:26.660 On

01:02:26.920 Snickers'

01:02:27.340 life, I

01:02:27.880 promise you.

01:02:29.020 25 years

01:02:29.900 ago, I

01:02:30.260 said to

01:02:30.560 myself, you

01:02:31.740 know what

01:02:32.140 would be

01:02:32.480 fun?

01:02:33.700 To predict

01:02:34.640 that the

01:02:35.300 most true

01:02:36.240 thing in

01:02:36.800 science is

01:02:37.520 really fake.

01:02:40.600 And I

01:02:41.220 said to

01:02:41.520 myself, if I

01:02:42.200 do that, and

01:02:43.420 I wait a

01:02:44.340 few decades,

01:02:45.960 watch me be

01:02:46.800 right.

01:02:47.760 And here's

01:02:48.540 the part

01:02:48.920 that will

01:02:49.260 blow your 0.91

01:02:49.660 mind.

01:02:52.080 I wasn't

01:02:52.920 fussy about

01:02:53.680 what I

01:02:54.060 picked.

01:02:55.360 That's the

01:02:56.000 weird part.

01:02:56.940 I said, I

01:02:57.740 just have to

01:02:58.220 pick something

01:02:58.680 that is

01:02:59.080 guaranteed by

01:02:59.960 all scientists

01:03:00.760 to be true,

01:03:01.820 whatever they

01:03:02.480 say it is,

01:03:03.580 and just say

01:03:04.120 it's not

01:03:04.460 true.

01:03:05.600 And I'll

01:03:05.900 say it in

01:03:06.300 public, and

01:03:07.380 I'll make a

01:03:07.820 prediction that

01:03:08.700 in your

01:03:09.060 lifetime, the

01:03:10.360 most true

01:03:11.140 thing in

01:03:11.640 science will

01:03:12.600 be debunked.

01:03:14.520 And the

01:03:15.120 reason is, I

01:03:16.260 don't think

01:03:16.600 anything's

01:03:17.080 true.

01:03:18.560 And I

01:03:19.140 also don't

01:03:19.720 think that

01:03:21.080 science has

01:03:21.980 ever been

01:03:22.380 close to

01:03:22.900 the truth.

01:03:24.020 It's pretty

01:03:24.620 good at

01:03:24.900 knowing what

01:03:25.280 works, but

01:03:26.560 not the

01:03:26.900 truth.

01:03:28.520 It doesn't

01:03:29.440 matter when

01:03:29.940 the Big

01:03:30.300 Bang happened,

01:03:31.680 because we

01:03:32.600 can still

01:03:33.000 build a

01:03:33.400 rocket ship.

01:03:34.740 It doesn't

01:03:35.380 matter if

01:03:35.760 evolution is

01:03:36.460 true, because

01:03:38.060 I can still

01:03:38.700 drive my

01:03:39.380 electric car.

01:03:41.080 So the

01:03:41.740 things that

01:03:42.360 don't matter

01:03:43.240 to your

01:03:43.700 day-to-day,

01:03:44.720 those can

01:03:45.840 be completely

01:03:46.880 fake, and

01:03:48.740 you never

01:03:49.140 know.

01:03:49.480 You just

01:03:49.740 go through

01:03:50.080 life as if

01:03:50.900 it's true.

01:03:51.840 So I took

01:03:52.560 some things

01:03:53.140 which don't

01:03:53.680 affect our

01:03:54.420 actual day-to-day

01:03:55.700 life, because

01:03:56.380 those things I

01:03:56.980 think will be

01:03:57.440 true enough,

01:03:58.500 but things that

01:03:59.260 are just

01:03:59.540 concepts.

01:04:01.200 And I

01:04:01.680 thought to

01:04:02.280 myself, you

01:04:03.260 know, I

01:04:03.580 could pick the

01:04:04.100 Big Bang,

01:04:05.420 because in my

01:04:05.940 opinion, the

01:04:06.480 Big Bang was 0.58

01:04:07.080 the most

01:04:07.440 ridiculous thing

01:04:08.320 we've ever

01:04:08.780 believed.

01:04:09.260 just by its

01:04:11.380 nature, you

01:04:12.900 know, it

01:04:13.180 couldn't

01:04:13.380 possibly be

01:04:14.080 what we

01:04:14.560 think it

01:04:14.940 is.

01:04:15.200 I don't

01:04:15.420 know what

01:04:15.680 it is, but

01:04:16.960 it's definitely

01:04:17.380 not that,

01:04:18.800 right?

01:04:19.920 So here we

01:04:20.840 are.

01:04:21.860 So now

01:04:22.560 there's a

01:04:22.920 question that

01:04:23.380 the Big Bang

01:04:23.860 even happened,

01:04:24.800 because there

01:04:25.180 are some, I

01:04:25.700 believe there

01:04:26.180 are some

01:04:26.420 galaxies that

01:04:27.220 can't exist

01:04:28.040 based on the

01:04:29.480 life of the

01:04:29.920 universe, but

01:04:30.840 now maybe we

01:04:31.500 got the life

01:04:32.000 of the universe

01:04:32.540 completely wrong.

01:04:34.200 I think we're,

01:04:35.200 you know, just a

01:04:35.900 few steps away

01:04:36.700 from saying that

01:04:37.880 the Big Bang

01:04:38.400 didn't happen.

01:04:39.980 Now, I won't

01:04:41.440 go into the

01:04:41.960 long description,

01:04:42.880 but evolution

01:04:43.960 is largely

01:04:44.660 debunked at

01:04:45.600 this point, in

01:04:46.900 my opinion, and

01:04:48.800 along scientific

01:04:50.140 and rational

01:04:50.880 means, not

01:04:51.660 along religious

01:04:52.500 arguments.

01:04:54.420 No religious 1.00

01:04:55.200 argument needed.

01:04:56.840 It's just the

01:04:57.760 Elon Musk

01:04:58.320 argument that

01:04:59.220 we can already

01:05:00.100 build AI

01:05:01.320 creatures and

01:05:02.700 tell them they

01:05:03.420 think they're

01:05:03.860 real, and they

01:05:05.000 would go through

01:05:05.500 their life thinking

01:05:07.180 they're real.

01:05:07.700 So as long

01:05:09.040 as that's

01:05:09.400 something we

01:05:10.280 can do now,

01:05:11.860 it's probable

01:05:12.660 that if the

01:05:13.420 universe is 14

01:05:14.600 billion years or

01:05:15.620 maybe 27

01:05:16.560 billion years,

01:05:18.260 that there could

01:05:19.260 have been infinite

01:05:20.220 civilizations that

01:05:22.140 also could build

01:05:22.980 simulations.

01:05:24.120 What are the

01:05:24.780 odds that you're

01:05:25.600 one of the

01:05:26.080 original species

01:05:27.560 and not one of

01:05:28.840 the millions of

01:05:30.440 simulations that

01:05:32.480 each species that

01:05:33.320 reaches our level

01:05:34.100 will create?

01:05:34.680 So the odds

01:05:35.900 are maybe a

01:05:36.760 trillion to

01:05:37.340 one or a

01:05:38.320 billion to

01:05:38.820 one that you're

01:05:40.320 an original

01:05:40.820 species.

01:05:42.180 And it's like a

01:05:42.840 billion to one that

01:05:44.160 you're a simulation.

01:05:45.240 Actually, zeros and

01:05:46.320 ones or some form

01:05:47.920 of that.

01:05:49.380 So I would argue,

01:05:50.840 so the one I

01:05:51.420 picked 25 years

01:05:52.560 ago in my book,

01:05:53.700 The Dilbert Future,

01:05:55.320 published in 1997,

01:05:57.660 25 years ago,

01:05:59.260 I said to myself,

01:06:00.440 I swear to God

01:06:01.260 this is true.

01:06:01.840 I said, I'm

01:06:05.020 going to ease

01:06:05.500 shit for 25

01:06:06.440 years.

01:06:08.340 But at the end

01:06:09.340 of that 25

01:06:10.120 years, it's

01:06:15.980 going to be

01:06:16.320 sweet.

01:06:17.980 And so I wrote

01:06:18.920 a book in which

01:06:19.700 I specifically

01:06:20.800 said evolution

01:06:22.000 will be debunked

01:06:23.100 in your lifetime,

01:06:24.580 not in religious

01:06:25.620 terms, and I

01:06:26.520 said that, not in

01:06:27.400 religious terms,

01:06:28.620 but in scientific

01:06:30.100 terms because we

01:06:31.360 don't understand

01:06:32.200 the nature of

01:06:33.080 reality itself.

01:06:34.900 I said that

01:06:35.920 specifically 25

01:06:37.460 years ago.

01:06:38.460 Do you know

01:06:38.860 what happened?

01:06:40.060 I got cancelled.

01:06:41.720 It was the first

01:06:42.660 time I got cancelled.

01:06:44.260 Does anybody

01:06:44.700 remember that?

01:06:45.880 Is anybody old

01:06:46.500 enough to remember

01:06:47.160 the blowback?

01:06:48.860 Because I had a

01:06:49.440 comic strip that

01:06:50.400 was mostly, well,

01:06:52.200 not mostly, but

01:06:53.280 technical people

01:06:54.700 and STEM people

01:06:56.040 and science-y

01:06:57.140 people really

01:06:58.280 loved Dilbert.

01:06:59.000 When I

01:07:00.560 predicted that

01:07:01.280 evolution would

01:07:02.120 be debunked, I

01:07:04.260 lost almost all

01:07:05.440 of them.

01:07:06.480 I was completely

01:07:07.480 cancelled by

01:07:08.200 science in

01:07:09.260 1997.

01:07:10.580 Does anybody

01:07:10.920 remember that?

01:07:11.980 Now, that was

01:07:12.440 before cancelling

01:07:13.380 was the thing it

01:07:14.360 is now.

01:07:15.280 So it didn't

01:07:15.840 have that much

01:07:16.460 effect on my

01:07:17.240 publishers or my

01:07:18.540 syndication.

01:07:19.600 But the number

01:07:20.760 of people who

01:07:21.320 were willing to

01:07:21.940 buy my books and

01:07:23.600 read my stuff

01:07:24.420 plummeted.

01:07:25.880 I was cancelled.

01:07:26.540 probably I lost

01:07:28.100 25% of my

01:07:29.420 market, like

01:07:30.620 overnight.

01:07:31.920 That was the

01:07:32.820 first time I was

01:07:33.420 cancelled.

01:07:36.520 So, 25 years

01:07:40.400 I waited to be

01:07:41.920 right.

01:07:43.260 Could you do

01:07:44.140 that?

01:07:45.160 Could you eat

01:07:46.140 shit intentionally

01:07:47.100 for 25 years

01:07:48.220 under the bet

01:07:49.720 that you'd be

01:07:50.340 right in 25

01:07:51.060 years?

01:07:52.220 I literally

01:07:53.260 did that.

01:07:55.020 Here we are.

01:07:57.280 Yes, I'm not

01:07:58.100 right, you say.

01:08:01.200 I don't know

01:08:01.940 that I'm right.

01:08:02.700 I only know

01:08:03.400 that it's probably

01:08:04.060 a billion to one

01:08:04.940 that I'm right.

01:08:06.680 So I can't

01:08:07.480 guarantee it's

01:08:08.960 not the one,

01:08:09.820 but there's a

01:08:10.480 billion to one

01:08:11.080 chance I'm

01:08:11.520 right.

01:08:12.420 At least.

01:08:13.000 Maybe a

01:08:13.320 trillion to one.

01:08:17.700 So I saw

01:08:18.580 a tweet from

01:08:19.520 the whole Mars

01:08:20.520 catalog regarding

01:08:23.220 the simulation

01:08:23.840 stuff today.

01:08:24.880 And the tweet

01:08:25.440 said, this world

01:08:26.260 is too crazy

01:08:27.100 to not be a

01:08:28.040 simulation.

01:08:29.920 And Elon Musk

01:08:31.120 replied to that

01:08:32.120 with, tell me

01:08:34.320 about it.

01:08:36.760 Is that the

01:08:37.540 best tweet?

01:08:39.420 The world is

01:08:40.340 too crazy to

01:08:41.140 not be a

01:08:41.600 simulation.

01:08:42.720 And then the

01:08:43.400 richest man in

01:08:44.160 the world,

01:08:45.240 who's building

01:08:46.060 rocket ships to

01:08:47.200 space, among

01:08:49.960 other things,

01:08:51.040 among other

01:08:51.600 things, says,

01:08:53.860 this, tell me

01:08:54.800 about it.

01:08:57.240 How could you

01:08:58.080 be Elon Musk

01:08:59.120 and believe that

01:09:00.280 this is a real

01:09:01.460 reality?

01:09:02.920 How could you?

01:09:04.720 Have you ever

01:09:05.260 thought, what

01:09:05.620 would it be like

01:09:06.160 to be him?

01:09:08.420 Every time he

01:09:09.320 sits on the

01:09:09.880 toilet and

01:09:10.520 tweets, he

01:09:12.120 changes the

01:09:12.840 planet Earth

01:09:13.640 while he's on

01:09:15.940 the toilet

01:09:16.320 tweeting.

01:09:16.680 that's real.

01:09:20.300 Now, not

01:09:20.940 every tweet,

01:09:21.680 because some

01:09:21.960 of the tweets

01:09:22.300 are just

01:09:22.660 jokes.

01:09:23.660 But if he

01:09:25.280 tweets something

01:09:25.880 serious, the

01:09:27.420 entire world

01:09:28.400 looks at it,

01:09:29.360 reads it,

01:09:29.880 thinks about it,

01:09:30.660 changes how

01:09:31.220 they think,

01:09:31.960 there's a story

01:09:32.660 about it.

01:09:33.580 How in the

01:09:34.520 world could he

01:09:36.300 feel like he's

01:09:37.000 living in reality?

01:09:37.920 Now, the

01:09:40.380 reason that I'm

01:09:40.940 sensitive to

01:09:41.580 that is that

01:09:42.180 that's my

01:09:42.740 life as well.

01:09:44.640 My life is

01:09:46.360 so unusual

01:09:48.580 and has been

01:09:50.120 forever, that

01:09:51.380 if I'm part of

01:09:52.260 reality, I

01:09:55.020 can't understand

01:09:55.900 how that's

01:09:56.340 possible.

01:09:56.880 Or at least,

01:09:57.360 you know, the

01:09:57.760 reality we used

01:09:58.920 to think.

01:09:59.640 If it's not a

01:10:00.520 simulation, and

01:10:02.060 I'm not creating

01:10:02.920 my reality as I

01:10:03.980 go, how do

01:10:05.260 you explain

01:10:05.700 anything I've

01:10:06.440 experienced?

01:10:07.920 My reality is

01:10:09.060 so far out of

01:10:10.080 anything normal,

01:10:11.140 as is Musk's

01:10:12.420 and, you

01:10:12.900 know, similar

01:10:13.840 but very

01:10:14.440 different scale.

01:10:17.120 Yeah.

01:10:18.200 I'm going to

01:10:18.820 tell you a

01:10:19.960 story without

01:10:20.420 much detail.

01:10:21.820 There's somebody

01:10:22.980 in my, let's

01:10:23.760 say, my life,

01:10:25.440 who I've been

01:10:26.800 teaching the

01:10:28.200 simulation concept

01:10:29.340 and the idea

01:10:30.400 that you can

01:10:30.920 manifest your

01:10:32.740 reality.

01:10:34.480 And, you

01:10:35.840 know, this

01:10:36.100 has been an

01:10:36.520 ongoing

01:10:36.900 conversation.

01:10:38.920 And the

01:10:39.660 person I

01:10:40.060 talked to, I

01:10:40.840 believe, has

01:10:41.380 incorporated

01:10:42.040 this.

01:10:44.180 And I was

01:10:44.920 having a

01:10:45.240 conversation just,

01:10:46.800 I think, the

01:10:47.220 other day, in

01:10:48.620 which the

01:10:49.000 person was

01:10:49.500 feeding back

01:10:50.140 to me some

01:10:51.900 successes that

01:10:53.640 were so wildly

01:10:55.660 unlikely.

01:10:56.660 I mean, it

01:10:57.020 involved like a

01:10:57.900 big coincidence.

01:11:00.340 And the

01:11:01.900 person was

01:11:02.360 telling me like

01:11:02.960 it was a

01:11:03.400 coincidence.

01:11:03.800 coincidence.

01:11:04.540 And I

01:11:05.100 had to say,

01:11:05.660 hold on,

01:11:06.040 hold on.

01:11:07.160 Do you see

01:11:07.520 what's happening

01:11:07.980 here?

01:11:09.300 Do you have

01:11:09.900 any idea what's

01:11:10.620 happening right

01:11:11.160 now?

01:11:11.860 I taught you how

01:11:12.800 to manifest your

01:11:13.680 reality, and

01:11:15.000 now you're

01:11:15.400 telling me that

01:11:15.920 you've got

01:11:16.220 exactly the

01:11:17.040 weird, unusual

01:11:18.460 thing that you

01:11:19.120 wanted, and

01:11:20.140 you're telling me

01:11:20.820 that's a

01:11:21.160 coincidence.

01:11:22.940 You should

01:11:23.600 have seen the

01:11:25.600 look on the

01:11:26.300 person's face.

01:11:27.040 This is a

01:11:28.980 human being

01:11:29.620 that I pushed

01:11:31.540 to a higher

01:11:32.140 level of

01:11:32.620 awareness.

01:11:33.720 Somebody who

01:11:34.520 just figured

01:11:35.140 out that

01:11:36.560 everything in

01:11:37.480 this person's

01:11:38.100 life, suddenly,

01:11:40.460 at exactly the

01:11:41.420 time they

01:11:41.820 learned the

01:11:42.460 skill of

01:11:43.560 manifesting,

01:11:45.060 everything

01:11:46.020 turned right,

01:11:47.460 in weirdly

01:11:48.180 coincidental

01:11:49.020 ways that

01:11:50.960 could not

01:11:51.440 have been

01:11:51.860 under anybody's

01:11:52.680 control.

01:11:53.940 It looks

01:11:54.640 like reality

01:11:55.800 just wrapped

01:11:57.040 itself around

01:11:57.860 this person.

01:11:59.820 Very

01:12:00.340 impressive.

01:12:01.400 I got to

01:12:03.200 see the

01:12:03.820 evidence myself.

01:12:05.460 So, just

01:12:07.120 the weirdest

01:12:07.560 situation.

01:12:08.640 Now, this

01:12:09.040 is my

01:12:09.380 every day.

01:12:11.660 Every day, I

01:12:12.860 wake up into a

01:12:13.700 situation that

01:12:14.420 there's something

01:12:15.160 that happens

01:12:15.640 that's so

01:12:16.140 unusual, that's

01:12:17.960 in my favor,

01:12:19.460 and it's

01:12:19.820 something I

01:12:20.220 wanted and

01:12:20.740 wanted to

01:12:21.160 manifest, and

01:12:22.440 I think, how

01:12:23.020 in the world?

01:12:24.500 How in the

01:12:25.120 world is this

01:12:25.700 real?

01:12:27.040 Anyway, so

01:12:29.280 let me do it

01:12:29.740 to you again

01:12:30.840 right now.

01:12:32.080 You're going to

01:12:32.500 watch it in

01:12:33.100 real time, so

01:12:33.860 you can make

01:12:34.300 your own

01:12:34.820 decision.

01:12:35.880 Am I

01:12:36.380 changing reality

01:12:37.440 or just

01:12:39.260 getting lucky?

01:12:41.200 Because you're

01:12:41.980 going to find

01:12:42.360 that my

01:12:42.860 reframe about

01:12:43.860 imitation is

01:12:44.800 the only path

01:12:45.460 to success,

01:12:46.920 and black

01:12:48.080 America needs

01:12:48.820 to figure out

01:12:49.540 what to do,

01:12:51.540 given that

01:12:52.220 they're locked

01:12:52.740 out of the

01:12:53.260 only path to

01:12:54.120 success, because

01:12:55.300 why would you

01:12:55.960 imitate your

01:12:56.620 oppressors?

01:12:58.260 All right, so

01:12:59.380 they have to

01:13:00.020 figure that out.

01:13:00.860 That is not for

01:13:01.420 anybody to tell

01:13:02.360 them what to

01:13:03.580 do.

01:13:03.860 They have all

01:13:04.340 the capability.

01:13:05.540 They're completely

01:13:06.420 capable, and it

01:13:08.640 needs to be

01:13:09.200 something they do

01:13:09.840 on their own.

01:13:11.580 But the tools

01:13:12.520 are here.

01:13:13.640 So once they're

01:13:14.680 freed from that,

01:13:16.420 I would call it

01:13:17.760 the glass ceiling

01:13:18.500 of types.

01:13:19.320 But once they

01:13:19.900 shatter the glass

01:13:20.600 ceiling, which

01:13:21.120 unfortunately nobody

01:13:22.460 can help them

01:13:23.000 with, they're

01:13:23.600 going to have

01:13:23.820 to do it on

01:13:24.240 their own.

01:13:25.160 But once they

01:13:25.660 do, they'll

01:13:26.740 probably dominate

01:13:27.660 industries the

01:13:29.360 way they've

01:13:29.720 dominated other 0.85

01:13:30.400 industries.

01:13:31.920 I've said this

01:13:33.300 to some black 0.76

01:13:35.100 leaders before,

01:13:36.860 but I like the

01:13:37.560 way it sounds,

01:13:38.060 so I'll say it

01:13:38.440 again.

01:13:39.620 Whenever black

01:13:40.480 Americans had 0.96

01:13:41.420 full access,

01:13:43.180 full access to

01:13:44.800 an industry,

01:13:46.380 they usually

01:13:46.880 dominated.

01:13:48.840 Sports, full

01:13:50.740 access,

01:13:52.040 dominated.

01:13:52.460 Dominated.

01:13:53.840 Entertainment,

01:13:55.420 fashion,

01:13:56.500 music,

01:13:58.380 culture,

01:13:59.820 dominated.

01:14:01.220 Dominated.

01:14:02.200 So why would

01:14:03.120 we think that

01:14:03.660 that would

01:14:03.980 stop with

01:14:06.020 some future

01:14:07.120 industry that,

01:14:08.060 let's say,

01:14:08.360 there's some

01:14:08.760 systemic,

01:14:10.980 there's a

01:14:11.520 systemic reason

01:14:12.440 that's keeping

01:14:12.960 them away from

01:14:13.600 it.

01:14:14.160 As soon as

01:14:14.820 they lose

01:14:15.260 the systemic,

01:14:16.820 in this case,

01:14:17.440 I think the

01:14:17.800 glass ceiling of

01:14:18.940 imitation is the

01:14:20.400 problem.

01:14:21.060 But if they

01:14:21.540 can punch

01:14:22.760 through that,

01:14:24.420 they're going to

01:14:25.380 dominate other

01:14:26.100 industries.

01:14:26.960 Why wouldn't

01:14:27.360 they?

01:14:28.260 Why would they

01:14:28.800 not?

01:14:29.580 Every time there

01:14:30.340 was an industry

01:14:30.880 they had full

01:14:31.580 access to,

01:14:32.840 without the

01:14:33.420 systemic racism

01:14:34.320 being the

01:14:35.360 stopper,

01:14:36.920 they're great.

01:14:38.340 So why not

01:14:40.840 assume the best?

01:14:42.540 success?

01:14:43.760 And I think

01:14:45.260 that it's

01:14:45.680 terribly damaging

01:14:47.920 to say that

01:14:49.300 somebody else

01:14:49.860 has to change

01:14:50.640 to fix their

01:14:51.260 problem.

01:14:53.060 If your path

01:14:54.520 to success

01:14:55.080 is waiting

01:14:56.200 for your

01:14:56.640 oppressor to

01:14:57.380 change,

01:14:58.840 how well are

01:14:59.920 you going to

01:15:00.220 do?

01:15:01.380 But if your

01:15:02.180 path to success

01:15:03.100 is, oh,

01:15:03.760 everybody who

01:15:04.400 follows these

01:15:04.960 same tools

01:15:05.740 gets a good

01:15:06.840 outcome,

01:15:07.860 boom,

01:15:08.880 doors open,

01:15:10.600 highway is

01:15:11.140 free,

01:15:11.380 drive right

01:15:12.600 down.

01:15:14.320 All right,

01:15:15.100 so this will

01:15:15.980 be your test

01:15:16.580 to see if I'm

01:15:17.360 hallucinating

01:15:18.020 that I can

01:15:19.960 change reality

01:15:20.820 because you

01:15:23.080 realize that I'm

01:15:23.980 in a three-act

01:15:24.860 movie, right?

01:15:27.000 Do you all

01:15:27.340 know that?

01:15:28.560 You can tell

01:15:29.340 I'm in a three-act

01:15:30.140 movie, right?

01:15:32.920 And you don't

01:15:33.740 know what my

01:15:34.200 third act is.

01:15:35.380 Well, you don't

01:15:36.080 know the solution

01:15:36.640 to the third act.

01:15:37.440 The third act

01:15:38.140 was getting

01:15:38.520 canceled.

01:15:39.420 Would you

01:15:39.760 agree?

01:15:41.380 My third act

01:15:42.700 was getting

01:15:43.440 canceled worldwide.

01:15:45.700 Every book

01:15:46.220 disappeared.

01:15:47.440 Every comic

01:15:48.040 came out of

01:15:48.740 every outlet.

01:15:50.280 Same week.

01:15:51.620 Third act.

01:15:53.760 Thursday of

01:15:54.460 next week,

01:15:55.820 my book that

01:15:57.180 got canceled

01:15:57.820 but now is

01:15:58.860 reborn,

01:16:00.220 will be

01:16:01.100 available for

01:16:01.740 sale.

01:16:02.440 I'm assuming

01:16:02.920 the technical

01:16:04.440 part works.

01:16:05.240 It should be

01:16:05.540 Thursday.

01:16:06.600 So it will be

01:16:07.000 independently

01:16:07.520 published with

01:16:08.260 the help of

01:16:08.740 Joshua Lysak,

01:16:09.940 who's helping

01:16:11.160 me with the

01:16:11.880 editing and

01:16:12.780 the business

01:16:13.820 process of

01:16:14.520 it.

01:16:15.660 And that

01:16:19.160 book needs

01:16:20.960 to be the

01:16:21.420 number one

01:16:21.920 book in the

01:16:22.420 country.

01:16:24.920 Once you see

01:16:25.780 it, you're

01:16:26.280 going to agree

01:16:26.840 because you're

01:16:28.060 going to realize

01:16:28.480 how much

01:16:28.840 utility is in

01:16:29.720 it.

01:16:30.780 And part of

01:16:31.560 that utility

01:16:32.460 is selling the

01:16:33.640 idea that

01:16:34.360 reframing

01:16:35.060 works.

01:16:35.480 I'm going

01:16:37.140 to create a

01:16:38.240 micro lesson

01:16:38.900 just for the

01:16:39.640 people on the

01:16:40.240 Locals platform.

01:16:41.840 So I've got

01:16:42.900 about 200

01:16:43.560 two-minute

01:16:44.460 lessons on a

01:16:45.700 life skill or

01:16:46.620 different way to

01:16:47.260 look at things.

01:16:48.280 So I'm going to

01:16:48.860 add one today

01:16:49.680 that will teach

01:16:51.060 you why

01:16:52.760 mindset changes

01:16:54.100 actual reality.

01:16:56.420 And it's based

01:16:57.340 on old wisdom,

01:16:59.540 not something I

01:17:00.440 invented, but

01:17:01.680 it's going to

01:17:02.020 blow your mind.

01:17:02.800 So you have to

01:17:03.180 be in the

01:17:03.480 Locals platform.

01:17:04.260 That's a

01:17:04.740 subscription

01:17:05.260 service.

01:17:07.580 And that,

01:17:08.420 ladies and 0.98

01:17:08.740 gentlemen, is

01:17:10.120 what I need to

01:17:10.720 tell you today.

01:17:11.920 I'm pretty sure

01:17:12.660 that all of you

01:17:13.480 are at least

01:17:15.200 emotionally on

01:17:16.840 board with the

01:17:17.520 following point,

01:17:18.280 if not

01:17:18.840 financially.

01:17:19.800 Financially, if

01:17:20.580 you can't afford

01:17:21.780 to buy books,

01:17:22.720 don't buy mine.

01:17:24.540 If you have any

01:17:25.800 financial problems

01:17:27.040 at all, don't

01:17:29.040 buy my book

01:17:29.720 at all.

01:17:30.800 But if you

01:17:31.480 don't, and you

01:17:32.520 can afford a book

01:17:33.200 now and then,

01:17:33.780 you might

01:17:34.800 enjoy changing

01:17:36.300 reality.

01:17:37.540 Because reality

01:17:38.520 needs for me

01:17:39.940 to have a

01:17:41.020 third act

01:17:41.600 followed by a

01:17:43.160 fourth act.

01:17:44.180 So if you

01:17:44.760 want to be part

01:17:45.260 of the fourth

01:17:45.660 act, you're

01:17:46.820 going to get

01:17:47.060 your chance

01:17:47.560 next week.

01:17:49.060 And I would

01:17:49.680 appreciate it

01:17:50.340 beyond imagination.

01:17:52.860 Because as you

01:17:53.660 can tell, it's not

01:17:54.880 about the money

01:17:55.560 at this point.

01:17:56.640 I got plenty

01:17:57.500 of money.

01:17:57.800 So if you

01:17:59.160 want to do

01:17:59.500 something

01:17:59.720 important, that

01:18:01.180 would be a

01:18:01.400 good way to

01:18:01.780 do it.

01:18:03.580 And ladies 0.94

01:18:04.200 and gentlemen,

01:18:05.820 this completes

01:18:07.080 my amazing

01:18:08.460 live stream for

01:18:09.240 today.

01:18:10.240 And I'm going

01:18:10.940 to say goodbye

01:18:11.460 to the YouTube

01:18:12.240 folks and hang

01:18:13.380 around a little

01:18:13.920 bit with the

01:18:14.760 locals crowd.

01:18:16.820 And see you

01:18:18.940 tomorrow.
