Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2205 Scott Adams： I Have Some Contrarian Takes Today To Get Your Mind Juiced. Coffee & Juice

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

00:00:09.320 Yeah, you thought it was Twitter or X, but it's not. It's not. It's this show.

00:00:13.700 And if you'd like to take it up to levels that only the weekend can survive,

00:00:18.380 well, all you do is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:25.200 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:28.180 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:34.920 It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go.

00:00:42.120 Ah, that's pretty good. Pretty, pretty good.

00:00:47.660 So if you're not a subscriber on Locals or on X, where you can see the Dilbert Reborn comic, but only there,

00:00:56.180 the series is now about the boss sending his employees onto the streets to get things for him

00:01:04.540 when he lives in a city that has become dangerous.

00:01:07.780 So the employees are complaining about the danger of coming to work.

00:01:12.640 And he just sent Tina to get his lunch.

00:01:14.660 And I'll read it to you, but it's basically Tina.

00:01:18.880 She's a little unhappy talking to the boss, and she says,

00:01:22.280 Thanks for sending me through the gauntlet of lawlessness to pick up your lunch.

00:01:26.680 I got 20,000 steps just for...

00:01:29.180 I got 20,000 steps just fleeing for my life.

00:01:33.660 And the boss says,

00:01:34.940 You have a Fitbit?

00:01:36.200 And Tina says,

00:01:37.980 I did, but now it's the property of a guy they call the Midnight Crapper.

00:01:43.820 So you would not have seen that when Dilbert was in newspapers.

00:01:49.760 So let me say again that my creative revival is really fun.

00:01:56.460 Every time I sit down to make the comic now, I'm enjoying it.

00:02:03.680 Like I'm looking for time.

00:02:04.780 Oh, I'd love to write some comics today.

00:02:09.100 Every single day for 10 years, at least 10 years,

00:02:13.540 prior to being canceled, I hated my job.

00:02:18.800 Now, it was better than a real job,

00:02:20.640 because I could just sit there drawing pictures and stuff.

00:02:22.880 But I didn't like it,

00:02:26.060 because, you know, anything you like is great

00:02:28.760 until you have to do too much of it.

00:02:30.920 And if you have to do a comic every single day,

00:02:34.740 every day,

00:02:35.780 you get tired of it after 25 years.

00:02:38.900 So believe me,

00:02:40.620 getting canceled was like,

00:02:42.900 I swear it was like being reborn.

00:02:44.580 I call it Dilbert reborn, but it was like I was reborn,

00:02:47.280 because I actually love my job.

00:02:50.080 So my thoughts of desperately wanting to retire,

00:02:52.880 which I did prior to being canceled.

00:02:54.980 I desperately wanted to retire.

00:02:57.520 I just needed to find a way to do it.

00:02:59.740 That wasn't the way I just happened.

00:03:03.400 But man, it's good.

00:03:05.060 It's good stuff.

00:03:06.660 All right.

00:03:08.460 And I ask you, can AI do that?

00:03:11.120 Do you think AI could have done that joke?

00:03:13.640 Do you think AI could have had a punchline

00:03:16.200 about the midnight crapper

00:03:17.440 and known that that was funny?

00:03:20.360 Nope.

00:03:20.620 Not even a chance.

00:03:23.240 All right.

00:03:23.740 I believe yesterday I talked about somebody named Anthony Oliver

00:03:27.760 who doesn't exist,

00:03:29.160 but there is somebody named Oliver Anthony.

00:03:31.300 Do I have that right now?

00:03:33.240 Did I correct that yet?

00:03:35.320 So I'm now correct, right?

00:03:37.100 First name Oliver, last name Anthony.

00:03:39.620 Note to future parents,

00:03:41.180 if your last name already is like a first name,

00:03:46.520 don't give somebody a first name that's like a last name.

00:03:52.240 You've got to make a choice.

00:03:54.600 If it had been Eric Anthony,

00:03:57.920 would I have been confused?

00:03:59.420 No.

00:04:00.140 Eric.

00:04:00.640 No, nobody has a last name of Eric.

00:04:02.480 That must be the first name.

00:04:03.680 But no, Oliver Anthony,

00:04:07.300 I believe his parents have a sense of humor,

00:04:10.980 and they were sitting around,

00:04:12.280 why should we name him?

00:04:13.760 And they said to themselves,

00:04:15.520 well, I've got an idea.

00:04:18.140 How about a practical joke

00:04:20.180 instead of a regular name?

00:04:22.380 We're going to give him a name

00:04:24.140 that is indistinguishable from a first or last name

00:04:27.220 to match with his existing last name

00:04:29.120 that's indistinguishable from a first name.

00:04:32.080 Do you think he's going to have a lot of explaining to do?

00:04:34.840 Well, yes, he will.

00:04:38.360 Oh, apparently it's not his real name.

00:04:40.400 Well, that's...

00:04:41.720 Somebody says that's not his real name.

00:04:48.680 Christopher Anthony Lunsford?

00:04:50.420 Are you kidding me

00:04:52.860 that that's not a real...

00:04:55.920 That's a performance name?

00:04:59.140 Oliver is his grandfather's name.

00:05:02.120 Well, okay.

00:05:03.300 All right.

00:05:04.320 That makes more sense.

00:05:05.980 May I say that his parents are now off the hook?

00:05:09.680 Parents are in the clear.

00:05:11.420 You've cleared him.

00:05:12.480 You've cleared the parents.

00:05:13.620 Here I was maligning the parents as pranksters.

00:05:17.360 But no, the problem was mine entirely.

00:05:20.420 Fake news.

00:05:22.320 Fake news got me again.

00:05:23.820 See, now, I think this is why live stream

00:05:26.500 is better than recorded anything.

00:05:29.440 Because you fact-checked me in real time.

00:05:32.920 Wasn't that useful?

00:05:34.360 I don't think there's anything better technology-wise

00:05:37.160 than getting fact-checked while you're doing it.

00:05:40.380 That's sort of the ultimate model.

00:05:42.700 That's why I like the community notes.

00:05:44.280 All right.

00:05:46.500 But more about that.

00:05:48.300 So he was number one on, I guess, iTunes for the world,

00:05:53.160 not just the country.

00:05:54.740 And the story is that he turned down $8 million.

00:05:57.380 What do you think of that?

00:05:58.680 Turned down $8 million to, I don't know,

00:06:01.940 commercialize his music with some publisher or other.

00:06:04.600 Now, do you think that's awesome

00:06:08.180 because he was not interested in money?

00:06:11.060 You know, it was more about the message?

00:06:13.820 Or did he have good advisors, maybe?

00:06:17.080 If I were his business advisor,

00:06:21.520 do you think I would have let him

00:06:22.560 take an $8 million first offer?

00:06:25.340 No.

00:06:27.080 No.

00:06:28.040 If you were his advisor,

00:06:29.520 would you let him take an $8 million offer?

00:06:32.080 I would have chained him to his bed

00:06:34.380 before I would let him take that offer.

00:06:37.900 I would have physically restrained him.

00:06:40.740 He said, look, I know this isn't cool.

00:06:42.900 I'm going to physically restrain you.

00:06:44.440 But don't sign an $8 million offer.

00:06:47.360 First of all, it should start at $20, right?

00:06:52.400 If he's even going to consider an offer, it's $20.

00:06:57.220 Let's just be honest.

00:06:59.200 $8 million was low.

00:07:00.840 The first offer you get before somebody is fully emerged

00:07:04.600 is going to be the low one

00:07:06.320 because they're trying to get him early, right?

00:07:08.740 They're trying to get a discount.

00:07:09.880 We'll get him before he knows what he's got here.

00:07:12.180 Of course you let that one go.

00:07:13.700 At the very least, you let it age, right?

00:07:17.080 At the very least, you don't take it the day it's offered.

00:07:20.780 You let them see if they can enhance it,

00:07:22.780 maybe see the competition.

00:07:24.720 If you get it, here's the best,

00:07:27.580 you want to send the best business advice you'll ever hear?

00:07:31.660 Here it comes.

00:07:32.380 If somebody makes you an $8 million offer

00:07:36.200 and you're in the news,

00:07:38.920 everybody knows you exist,

00:07:41.420 but you've got one offer for $8 million,

00:07:43.940 tell me the odds that you would get a second offer soon.

00:07:47.700 At what percentage odds do you think you would get a second offer?

00:07:54.400 It's 100%.

00:07:55.600 Yeah, it's 100%.

00:07:57.420 There isn't any chance you won't get a second, third, fourth offer, right?

00:08:01.740 So if you considered a first offer,

00:08:05.120 that's just bad business.

00:08:07.440 That's bad business.

00:08:09.180 So here's what I'd like to think about him.

00:08:13.700 Don't know that it's true.

00:08:14.860 But if you saw the quality of the writing in the song

00:08:18.760 and then you add that to the quality of the performance

00:08:23.640 and then you add that to the quality of his commentary

00:08:27.820 because he drove in his car

00:08:29.940 and he was talking about his situation,

00:08:32.520 you can really see that he's smart, can you not?

00:08:38.580 He's not a normal, just average Joe.

00:08:41.920 He's actually smart.

00:08:43.280 I'm going to say smarter than the average person.

00:08:46.160 It's kind of obvious.

00:08:48.860 And if somebody who's smarter than the average person

00:08:52.520 turns down an offer,

00:08:55.400 just put that in the context.

00:08:58.200 That was the offer I would have turned down as well.

00:09:01.340 It doesn't mean he'll ever take an offer.

00:09:03.020 He might just stay independent.

00:09:04.560 I mean, does he really need anybody?

00:09:09.080 What would somebody do for him that he can't do for himself?

00:09:12.900 I don't know.

00:09:13.980 Usually it's somebody trying to make you famous,

00:09:17.680 but if you start as the most famous artist in the world,

00:09:21.020 number one on iTunes in the entire world,

00:09:23.720 if you start there,

00:09:25.200 then the value of helpers goes way down,

00:09:27.740 but they probably want to take 50% to 75% of his earnings,

00:09:33.600 would be my guess.

00:09:36.820 All right.

00:09:37.560 So I tweet by Elon Musk,

00:09:41.040 which just said,

00:09:42.360 X, meaning Twitter,

00:09:44.300 as humanity's collective consciousness.

00:09:46.520 Do you see it?

00:09:50.800 Do you see X as society's,

00:09:53.800 meaning its existence the way it is,

00:09:56.140 as society's collective consciousness?

00:09:59.200 I totally do.

00:10:01.560 Have you ever heard of any books

00:10:03.240 that would have a similar concept?

00:10:07.980 Well, if you haven't read my book,

00:10:09.540 God's Debris,

00:10:10.940 this would be the time to connect all the dots.

00:10:13.940 The people on my Locals platform

00:10:17.660 have more of a backstory there,

00:10:19.440 but let me just,

00:10:21.560 actually, could you even buy that?

00:10:22.940 I think God's Debris is cancelled.

00:10:25.360 If you were on the Locals platform,

00:10:27.380 you could read it for free,

00:10:28.760 because it's available there for free,

00:10:30.900 the e-book part.

00:10:32.600 Yeah, I think God's Debris is cancelled at the moment.

00:10:34.900 You could get a used one.

00:10:36.900 But just remember,

00:10:38.660 if you read it,

00:10:39.540 remember Elon Musk's tweet

00:10:41.420 about X being the common consciousness,

00:10:45.220 and then it will blow your mind

00:10:46.420 when you read God's Debris.

00:10:48.960 Speaking of books,

00:10:50.480 my book, Reframe Your Brain,

00:10:52.880 is still not available,

00:10:55.020 well, it's not approved yet by Amazon,

00:10:57.380 for the physical book.

00:10:59.720 Now, the physical book is done and submitted.

00:11:02.140 They just have to say yes.

00:11:03.540 For some reason, it takes a few days.

00:11:06.480 I don't know if there's a problem yet,

00:11:08.900 but by the end of today,

00:11:10.520 if it's not there,

00:11:11.640 I'm going to assume there is a problem.

00:11:13.860 However, here's the good news.

00:11:15.360 The reviews, the Amazon reviews,

00:11:17.960 are just off the chart.

00:11:20.200 So the people who are reading it

00:11:22.460 are just having their minds blown,

00:11:24.340 which is what I imagine would happen.

00:11:27.000 So by minds blown,

00:11:28.500 I mean that people are seeing

00:11:30.060 their life changing in fundamental ways,

00:11:32.740 even while reading the book.

00:11:35.100 They can actually feel the change.

00:11:38.320 Some people are wearing out their highlighter.

00:11:41.800 So it's not like a regular book.

00:11:43.980 It's a book you're going to want to highlight,

00:11:45.980 keep around, show to people, refer back to.

00:11:49.920 So the physical book, I actually recommend.

00:11:54.460 Normally, I'd say get the Kindle

00:11:57.180 because who needs a book on their shelf.

00:11:59.220 But if you want this book,

00:12:07.180 I'd wait for the soft cover.

00:12:08.760 I wouldn't wait for the hard cover.

00:12:10.240 Soft cover will come before the hard cover,

00:12:12.280 in my case.

00:12:13.860 All right.

00:12:15.120 So that's going...

00:12:16.660 You know, I've got to say,

00:12:18.100 here's just an inside baseball author thing.

00:12:22.040 When you spend two years working on a book,

00:12:24.640 which I did,

00:12:27.260 it ruins,

00:12:29.400 kind of ruins two years of your life.

00:12:31.380 Normally it's a year,

00:12:32.440 but it was a busy year.

00:12:34.480 So it took me a little longer.

00:12:36.460 But if you put a year of your life

00:12:38.840 into basically removing

00:12:40.580 all of your entertainment time,

00:12:43.000 so that you basically are just working

00:12:44.860 for a year,

00:12:46.740 you want that book to do well.

00:12:49.520 Right?

00:12:49.800 So you want it to,

00:12:50.680 you know, do well in the rankings

00:12:51.980 and make money and all that stuff.

00:12:53.280 But I've got to tell you

00:12:54.740 that there's a thing

00:12:56.520 that's even better than that,

00:12:59.200 as good as money is.

00:13:01.460 It's when the reviews come in

00:13:03.000 and they're stellar.

00:13:04.720 Like, that's when I feel like I'm done.

00:13:07.220 You know, anything else that happens

00:13:08.340 after that is like,

00:13:09.720 ah, that's great.

00:13:10.700 I'm glad that happened.

00:13:12.200 But when the reviews come in

00:13:14.060 and they're just through the roof,

00:13:16.200 that's the payoff.

00:13:18.800 Because I wrote it to be useful.

00:13:21.000 I didn't write it to be entertaining.

00:13:22.220 I don't know if you thought I did.

00:13:25.240 It's not meant to be entertaining per se.

00:13:27.940 You know, it should be entertaining too.

00:13:30.440 But it should change lives.

00:13:32.740 And people are saying it is.

00:13:34.580 So, there you go.

00:13:36.960 There you go.

00:13:37.960 More about that later.

00:13:39.500 I saw a funny tweet by Morgan MJ.

00:13:45.880 And she's a woman and she says,

00:13:49.160 my favorite thing about men

00:13:50.300 is how they're completely incapable

00:13:52.440 of responding to multiple questions over text.

00:13:56.520 Whatever you ask last

00:13:58.040 is the only thing they'll acknowledge.

00:14:01.520 Does anybody have that experience, ladies?

00:14:05.140 Do you have an experience

00:14:06.000 that men will only answer

00:14:07.760 one of the questions you ask?

00:14:09.300 I had to go public

00:14:13.600 and I know men don't be mad at me.

00:14:17.160 Men don't be mad.

00:14:18.740 I know I violated the secret oath of men

00:14:21.440 by telling women one of our secrets.

00:14:25.080 But I thought I had to make an exception this time.

00:14:29.220 So, I retweeted and I commented,

00:14:32.080 we're trying to train you to ask one question.

00:14:36.520 How many men said,

00:14:38.340 my God, that's exactly what I'm doing?

00:14:42.260 Come on.

00:14:43.900 How many of you?

00:14:45.280 Admit it.

00:14:46.700 How many of the men say,

00:14:48.060 okay, you got me.

00:14:49.320 That's exactly what I'm doing.

00:14:50.780 I'm trying to train her to ask one question.

00:14:54.360 Yeah, I've done that.

00:14:56.340 Oh, yeah.

00:14:56.820 I've intentionally ignored questions.

00:15:00.220 Try to train them.

00:15:02.560 All right.

00:15:04.080 The exception would be business.

00:15:06.000 If I get a text for a business,

00:15:07.480 I don't mind multiple questions

00:15:08.820 because, you know, why not?

00:15:11.200 And then somebody in the,

00:15:13.820 there was a woman in the comments,

00:15:15.600 this just made me laugh until I cried.

00:15:18.220 She said that she had tried to,

00:15:21.940 you know, she'd heard the same thing,

00:15:23.260 that men like one question per text.

00:15:26.020 So she'll send multiple questions

00:15:28.640 in multiple texts at the same time

00:15:30.440 so that each question is in its own text.

00:15:34.860 Was that exactly getting to the heart of the problem?

00:15:37.300 And I loved,

00:15:42.360 I love that, you know,

00:15:43.660 men and women are so different

00:15:45.140 that even when I say directly,

00:15:48.000 I'm trying to train you to ask one question,

00:15:50.860 that the way it was heard was,

00:15:54.040 oh, so I'll just ask 10 questions

00:15:55.860 in individual text at the same time

00:15:57.840 and we're good, right?

00:15:59.260 No, no, that wasn't exactly the spirit of that.

00:16:04.120 All right, here we go.

00:16:06.680 Have I ever told you that all news

00:16:08.320 about public figures is fake news?

00:16:11.660 Yes, I have.

00:16:12.960 And the reason I've told you that

00:16:14.040 is because all news about public figures is fake.

00:16:17.120 Now, it always starts with something true.

00:16:20.620 You know, somebody is sick.

00:16:22.320 Probably true.

00:16:23.760 Don't know what.

00:16:24.900 Somebody died.

00:16:26.020 Somebody got married.

00:16:26.720 Those are usually true.

00:16:28.640 But all of the why somebody did it,

00:16:31.000 the background, the interpretation,

00:16:33.560 the context, all fake.

00:16:35.760 All fake, all the time.

00:16:37.780 Not always intentionally.

00:16:40.400 Let's see if you can pick this one out

00:16:42.080 on your own, okay?

00:16:44.180 So there's a story in The Insider,

00:16:46.280 which used to be called The Business Insider,

00:16:49.440 about RFK Jr.'s voice issues.

00:16:52.940 It's a disorder called spasmodic dysphonia.

00:16:55.360 And The Insider reports

00:16:57.600 that it is an incurable disorder.

00:17:02.560 Why did they report

00:17:04.040 that it's an incurable disorder?

00:17:08.200 Do you think I sound like RFK Jr. right now?

00:17:13.200 Does anybody think I talk just the way he does?

00:17:16.480 Right now?

00:17:18.340 Nope.

00:17:19.500 Do you know that I had that same disorder?

00:17:22.040 It's called spasmodic dysphonia.

00:17:25.500 And that I had surgery,

00:17:27.880 and it was cured.

00:17:29.540 That's why,

00:17:30.860 when you're listening to me right now,

00:17:32.560 it sounds like a pretty normal voice.

00:17:35.040 And the reason I got the surgery

00:17:36.600 is because I was referred to other people

00:17:39.040 who had the surgery.

00:17:40.540 So I talked to them in person.

00:17:42.920 I mean, by phone,

00:17:44.000 but personally I talked to them.

00:17:45.360 And they could all speak fine.

00:17:48.420 They could all speak fine.

00:17:51.240 So there was, in fact,

00:17:52.680 and there has been for now many years,

00:17:54.700 10 years, 15 years,

00:17:56.160 a surgery that is a complete cure.

00:17:59.600 Suppose you were to look it up.

00:18:01.940 I'd like you to do this right now.

00:18:03.300 If anybody has a second browser open,

00:18:06.340 look for treatment or cure

00:18:08.760 of spasmodic dysphonia.

00:18:11.320 Tell me what comes up.

00:18:12.300 Treatment or cure of spasmodic dysphonia.

00:18:16.280 Do it right now.

00:18:17.540 Do it right now.

00:18:18.580 Now remember,

00:18:19.140 the cure has been available

00:18:20.420 for about 10 or 15 years.

00:18:24.300 And I've been public

00:18:25.840 about how I did it,

00:18:28.460 the existence of it.

00:18:30.240 What do you find?

00:18:31.620 What is recommended as,

00:18:33.760 sometimes it's called the gold standard.

00:18:38.620 Well, I think if you look it up,

00:18:40.080 you're going to find that

00:18:40.840 there's no cure.

00:18:43.020 But that Botox injections

00:18:45.140 through the front of the neck

00:18:46.820 into the back of the neck,

00:18:49.000 in other words,

00:18:49.500 they're reaching to the back of the neck,

00:18:51.040 but they have to go through the front,

00:18:53.160 into your vocal cords

00:18:54.640 can give you some relief.

00:18:57.940 WebMD says there's no cure.

00:19:00.280 WebMD says there's no cure.

00:19:03.140 I'm literally talking to you cured.

00:19:06.040 Right?

00:19:06.200 So what you're going to find

00:19:08.280 is that most standards will say

00:19:11.780 there's no cure,

00:19:13.040 but people often use Botox

00:19:15.360 to get a better result,

00:19:18.780 better than what they had.

00:19:20.280 Now,

00:19:23.200 what do you think's happening?

00:19:26.660 You know for sure,

00:19:28.740 100% sure,

00:19:30.180 it's curable

00:19:30.900 because you're listening to me live.

00:19:33.620 And I have a very long history

00:19:35.380 of, you know,

00:19:36.620 talking about it

00:19:37.400 before I was cured.

00:19:38.660 Not talking,

00:19:39.440 but writing about it.

00:19:40.360 And now you find

00:19:43.880 that if you check the news,

00:19:47.060 not just the news,

00:19:48.120 but if you search on Google,

00:19:49.940 it's going to say

00:19:50.640 that there's a pharma product,

00:19:52.840 a big,

00:19:53.300 I don't know how big,

00:19:54.600 but a big pharma product

00:19:56.220 that's the only thing

00:19:57.520 you can do about it.

00:19:59.980 Have you put it together yet?

00:20:02.200 Has anybody connected the dots?

00:20:05.580 All right.

00:20:06.280 There was an organization

00:20:07.880 that's like the umbrella organization

00:20:10.180 for this situation,

00:20:13.140 spasmodic dysphonia.

00:20:15.060 So a bunch of people

00:20:16.800 who had that condition

00:20:17.600 and some people

00:20:18.500 who treated it

00:20:19.260 got together

00:20:20.380 and they've created

00:20:21.040 like an organization.

00:20:23.900 If you search for it,

00:20:25.660 it'll probably be

00:20:26.300 one of the first things

00:20:27.040 that comes up.

00:20:29.340 Who do you think

00:20:30.420 gives them funding

00:20:31.720 to support their organization?

00:20:37.980 Oh, I don't know.

00:20:39.020 Can you take a fucking guess?

00:20:42.700 Yeah.

00:20:44.680 It's exactly

00:20:45.500 what you think it is.

00:20:47.080 Put your conspiratorial hat on.

00:20:49.720 There is a cure,

00:20:51.600 but the news won't tell you,

00:20:53.360 and if you search for it,

00:20:54.480 you can't find it.

00:20:56.360 What does it remind you of?

00:20:59.060 Now remember,

00:20:59.920 this happened

00:21:00.400 before the pandemic,

00:21:01.700 so this is the same thing

00:21:03.140 for years.

00:21:04.600 It's always been like this.

00:21:05.760 Ivermectin.

00:21:14.400 It's exactly

00:21:15.500 what you think it is.

00:21:17.860 It's exactly

00:21:18.800 what you think it is.

00:21:20.660 The news

00:21:21.700 is not even close

00:21:23.760 to real.

00:21:26.240 Now, can you believe this?

00:21:27.820 This is about

00:21:28.520 a major candidate.

00:21:30.460 Now,

00:21:31.300 here's the backstory

00:21:32.380 on RFK Jr.

00:21:33.540 He did get

00:21:35.440 a medical

00:21:37.280 procedure,

00:21:39.800 but it's not

00:21:41.020 the one I got.

00:21:42.560 He did research

00:21:43.860 and he learned

00:21:44.460 about mine

00:21:45.700 because I told him

00:21:47.000 about it

00:21:47.400 a long time ago,

00:21:48.480 and he decided

00:21:49.720 to get something

00:21:50.380 that had an easier

00:21:51.320 recovery,

00:21:52.160 which is a reasonable

00:21:53.020 decision.

00:21:53.980 So his decision

00:21:54.840 actually made sense

00:21:55.880 because he did get

00:21:57.340 some improvement

00:21:58.040 that's quite substantial,

00:22:00.400 enough to get him

00:22:01.520 through maybe

00:22:02.260 the political season.

00:22:04.040 If he had done

00:22:04.940 my surgery,

00:22:06.020 he'd have a year

00:22:06.860 or two of weak voice.

00:22:08.620 It wouldn't have worked

00:22:09.480 for politics at all.

00:22:11.120 So it does take a long,

00:22:12.340 there's a long

00:22:12.800 recovery period.

00:22:15.300 But can you imagine

00:22:16.460 that the news

00:22:17.380 doesn't even mention it?

00:22:18.960 So when you read

00:22:19.720 anything about

00:22:20.660 a political figure,

00:22:21.840 even something like

00:22:22.820 as basic

00:22:23.660 as a medical situation,

00:22:25.800 not real.

00:22:27.200 It's just not real.

00:22:28.320 Once you realize

00:22:31.160 how not real

00:22:32.440 the news is,

00:22:33.160 you can never

00:22:34.360 unsee it.

00:22:36.420 All right.

00:22:37.600 China's population,

00:22:38.880 another news

00:22:39.460 that the fertility

00:22:40.480 is dropped

00:22:41.260 below Japan's level,

00:22:45.100 which was,

00:22:45.580 you know,

00:22:45.780 Japan had the

00:22:46.620 same problem,

00:22:48.180 or having the same problem.

00:22:49.320 It's even lower.

00:22:50.580 Now that's from

00:22:51.180 the official numbers

00:22:52.120 from China.

00:22:53.920 So the official numbers

00:22:55.440 from China

00:22:56.040 say that their birth rate

00:22:57.360 is basically

00:22:58.140 a severe emergency.

00:23:01.640 Do you think

00:23:02.400 they gave you

00:23:02.860 the right number?

00:23:04.380 Do you think

00:23:04.780 China's telling you

00:23:05.640 the real number?

00:23:09.240 Probably the fake number

00:23:10.820 shows an emergency.

00:23:12.820 Imagine how bad

00:23:13.840 the real number is

00:23:14.740 if there is one.

00:23:16.580 Imagine.

00:23:17.700 So China's in

00:23:19.120 bad,

00:23:20.020 bad trouble.

00:23:21.040 And the other thing

00:23:21.700 is that I don't

00:23:22.960 hear enough about

00:23:23.720 is that there are

00:23:24.780 way too many men,

00:23:25.740 aren't there?

00:23:26.060 Like,

00:23:28.300 how would they

00:23:28.740 fix that

00:23:29.240 if there are

00:23:29.640 way too many

00:23:30.200 men for women?

00:23:31.240 Because all that

00:23:31.800 matters is the

00:23:32.520 number of women.

00:23:33.220 It doesn't matter

00:23:33.680 the number of men.

00:23:36.180 Yeah,

00:23:36.400 we'll talk about Maui.

00:23:40.220 So they're

00:23:41.060 in big trouble.

00:23:44.660 Can you remind me,

00:23:46.060 did I say on

00:23:46.780 live stream,

00:23:47.480 or did I only say

00:23:48.320 it to my

00:23:49.440 private

00:23:50.400 private group

00:23:52.680 on the

00:23:53.220 man cave,

00:23:54.120 did I tell you

00:23:54.640 that Vivek

00:23:55.360 ended the

00:23:57.020 risk of

00:23:57.900 war with

00:23:59.140 China over

00:23:59.840 Taiwan?

00:24:01.800 Yeah,

00:24:02.240 I'll just say it

00:24:03.460 again in case

00:24:03.920 anybody missed it.

00:24:04.960 When Vivek said

00:24:05.920 that

00:24:06.980 Taiwan is

00:24:08.960 critical to the

00:24:09.900 United States

00:24:10.420 because it's the

00:24:11.020 only place we can

00:24:11.720 get the advanced

00:24:12.340 ships,

00:24:13.240 he basically said

00:24:14.220 there's nothing

00:24:15.440 you can do to

00:24:16.140 take Taiwan

00:24:16.820 because that's

00:24:18.380 a red line,

00:24:19.940 blah, blah, blah.

00:24:20.440 But once we

00:24:21.980 can make those

00:24:22.580 ships ourselves

00:24:23.360 in the United

00:24:23.880 States,

00:24:24.560 then he would

00:24:25.560 see it as more

00:24:26.220 of a civil war

00:24:27.100 which would

00:24:27.940 suggest that

00:24:29.620 China and

00:24:30.440 Taiwan are

00:24:30.900 going to have

00:24:31.100 to work it

00:24:31.500 out on their

00:24:31.960 own.

00:24:33.940 Why would

00:24:34.660 China ever

00:24:35.360 attack while

00:24:36.840 Vivek is still

00:24:37.660 in the race

00:24:38.300 and other people

00:24:39.500 are nodding

00:24:40.000 their heads to

00:24:40.620 that?

00:24:41.200 Because I doubt

00:24:41.800 anybody said

00:24:42.580 that's a bad

00:24:43.260 idea.

00:24:44.500 Do you?

00:24:45.320 Don't you think

00:24:45.920 everybody heard

00:24:46.520 that said,

00:24:47.360 yeah,

00:24:47.500 that makes

00:24:47.820 sense.

00:24:49.020 Yeah,

00:24:49.680 right now it's

00:24:50.400 critical,

00:24:51.040 you better not

00:24:51.560 touch it,

00:24:52.360 but if you just

00:24:52.980 waited,

00:24:53.860 and then you

00:24:54.380 add on top of

00:24:55.120 that that China

00:24:55.700 is the most

00:24:56.520 patient country

00:24:57.480 in the history

00:24:58.800 of all countries.

00:25:00.440 They have like

00:25:01.300 a hundred or

00:25:02.360 thousand year

00:25:03.020 idea for China,

00:25:04.620 so seven years,

00:25:05.660 eight years,

00:25:06.780 it would just

00:25:07.480 make sense to

00:25:08.080 wait.

00:25:09.260 Even if you

00:25:09.960 were sure you

00:25:10.640 wanted to make

00:25:11.480 a move on

00:25:11.900 Taiwan,

00:25:13.300 unless you're

00:25:14.160 going to do it

00:25:14.640 right away,

00:25:15.400 like before

00:25:16.900 or during

00:25:17.400 the presidential

00:25:18.420 races,

00:25:19.180 which would

00:25:20.000 be a scary

00:25:20.820 possibility.

00:25:21.840 I don't see

00:25:22.520 them getting

00:25:22.860 ready to do

00:25:23.440 it,

00:25:23.600 though,

00:25:24.240 because all

00:25:25.620 hell would

00:25:26.000 break loose,

00:25:26.660 and I don't

00:25:27.080 think that they

00:25:27.600 can handle all

00:25:28.440 hell breaking

00:25:29.200 loose,

00:25:30.220 given their

00:25:30.840 other problems.

00:25:31.960 I think China

00:25:32.540 is too weak.

00:25:33.780 Honestly,

00:25:34.300 I think they're

00:25:34.720 too weak.

00:25:36.200 And I don't

00:25:36.540 think, you

00:25:37.120 know,

00:25:37.220 if they're

00:25:37.500 stronger in

00:25:38.060 eight years,

00:25:38.660 maybe that

00:25:39.020 would be the

00:25:39.540 thing to wait

00:25:40.020 for,

00:25:40.340 if they were

00:25:40.780 them.

00:25:40.980 If I were

00:25:41.800 them,

00:25:42.140 that's what

00:25:42.420 I do.

00:25:44.480 So I guess

00:25:45.220 Trump is

00:25:46.120 going to be

00:25:46.580 interviewing with

00:25:47.400 Tucker Carlson

00:25:49.380 at the same

00:25:50.140 time as the

00:25:50.800 Fox debates.

00:25:51.760 Do I have

00:25:52.080 that right?

00:25:53.100 Give me a

00:25:53.500 fact check on

00:25:54.080 that.

00:25:55.060 They would be

00:25:55.500 televised,

00:25:56.280 both live.

00:25:57.660 So would

00:25:58.280 Tucker be

00:25:58.760 live or

00:25:59.280 recorded?

00:26:00.500 That part I

00:26:01.240 don't know.

00:26:02.300 Does anybody

00:26:03.480 know if

00:26:04.760 Tucker will be

00:26:05.420 live or

00:26:06.020 recorded?

00:26:07.500 Because I

00:26:08.080 feel like it

00:26:08.580 would be

00:26:08.860 recorded and

00:26:09.640 edited.

00:26:10.980 Because I

00:26:12.200 don't know

00:26:12.900 that,

00:26:13.860 because it

00:26:14.220 would be

00:26:14.460 streamed on

00:26:15.080 Twitter.

00:26:16.620 Live?

00:26:17.620 Okay.

00:26:18.660 Let me give

00:26:19.420 just a feel

00:26:20.200 for the

00:26:20.520 audience.

00:26:21.440 If you

00:26:21.920 had a choice

00:26:22.580 of which

00:26:23.280 one to

00:26:23.620 watch live,

00:26:24.740 let's say

00:26:25.280 maybe you

00:26:25.800 record the

00:26:26.280 other one,

00:26:27.420 which one

00:26:30.040 will you

00:26:30.320 watch live?

00:26:31.620 Go.

00:26:32.280 Which one

00:26:32.720 will you

00:26:33.000 watch live?

00:26:36.540 Almost all

00:26:37.260 Trump

00:26:37.540 Tucker.

00:26:38.460 Now is

00:26:39.080 that because

00:26:39.520 you're mad

00:26:40.080 at Fox

00:26:40.860 News?

00:26:43.560 Because I

00:26:44.140 would go

00:26:44.400 the other

00:26:44.740 way.

00:26:46.440 So I

00:26:47.480 would watch,

00:26:48.480 here's my

00:26:48.980 take on

00:26:49.420 it.

00:26:51.360 This is

00:26:51.940 just personal,

00:26:52.680 so this is

00:26:53.360 not a

00:26:53.720 recommendation

00:26:54.240 or anything.

00:26:54.840 This is just

00:26:55.220 the way I'll

00:26:55.820 do it.

00:26:56.380 I feel like

00:26:57.160 Trump talking

00:26:58.240 to Tucker

00:26:58.820 I've already

00:27:00.160 seen.

00:27:01.520 You know

00:27:02.120 what I

00:27:02.300 mean?

00:27:03.300 I wouldn't

00:27:03.960 really expect

00:27:04.680 a surprise.

00:27:07.540 Now,

00:27:08.220 Trump might

00:27:09.080 come up

00:27:09.440 with a

00:27:09.740 surprise

00:27:10.180 because he's

00:27:10.900 smart enough

00:27:11.400 to know

00:27:11.840 that would

00:27:12.420 be the

00:27:13.520 thing that

00:27:13.920 would suck

00:27:14.820 all the

00:27:15.120 energy away

00:27:15.680 from Fox

00:27:16.180 News.

00:27:17.060 But I

00:27:18.620 don't know

00:27:18.920 that he

00:27:19.140 has one.

00:27:20.340 What could

00:27:20.800 he say

00:27:21.100 that we

00:27:21.760 haven't

00:27:21.940 already

00:27:22.180 heard?

00:27:22.900 So I

00:27:24.620 am really

00:27:25.360 curious about

00:27:26.780 watching

00:27:27.300 Vivek

00:27:28.260 dismantle

00:27:29.580 the other

00:27:30.180 Republicans.

00:27:31.460 So to

00:27:32.880 me the

00:27:33.340 real show

00:27:34.160 is Vivek

00:27:35.320 because he's

00:27:36.300 the wild

00:27:36.720 card in

00:27:37.220 all of

00:27:37.500 this.

00:27:38.220 Everybody

00:27:38.640 else is

00:27:39.160 some version

00:27:39.680 of Mike

00:27:40.040 Pence.

00:27:40.860 Am I

00:27:41.160 right?

00:27:42.600 It's like

00:27:43.120 Vivek

00:27:43.880 versus

00:27:45.080 Mike Pence,

00:27:46.120 Mike Pence,

00:27:46.940 the other

00:27:47.520 Mike Pence,

00:27:48.460 the woman

00:27:48.960 Mike Pence,

00:27:50.500 you know,

00:27:50.720 the black

00:27:51.100 Mike Pence.

00:27:52.340 But basically

00:27:53.020 it's just a

00:27:53.620 bunch of

00:27:53.860 Mike Pences

00:27:54.380 and then

00:27:55.480 Vivek.

00:27:56.560 Now that's

00:27:57.000 the show.

00:27:58.300 Now given

00:27:58.900 that there

00:27:59.220 will be lots

00:27:59.660 of people

00:28:00.040 there,

00:28:00.520 how many

00:28:00.880 people are

00:28:01.260 going to

00:28:01.400 be in

00:28:01.600 the

00:28:01.720 debate?

00:28:02.560 Too

00:28:02.980 many,

00:28:03.320 right?

00:28:04.140 Too

00:28:04.380 many to

00:28:04.780 be a

00:28:05.000 proper

00:28:05.240 debate.

00:28:05.980 It's

00:28:06.140 just

00:28:06.260 everybody

00:28:06.560 gets

00:28:06.800 their

00:28:06.960 little

00:28:07.160 thing

00:28:07.420 to

00:28:07.640 say.

00:28:12.060 All

00:28:12.500 right.

00:28:12.920 Well,

00:28:13.560 I think

00:28:14.460 I'm going

00:28:14.760 to watch

00:28:15.100 the debate

00:28:15.860 and record

00:28:18.180 Tucker.

00:28:19.440 But most

00:28:20.160 of you

00:28:20.560 are going

00:28:20.960 to do

00:28:21.140 the opposite,

00:28:21.800 right?

00:28:23.740 Or not

00:28:24.400 even watch

00:28:24.900 the debate

00:28:25.360 because it's

00:28:25.740 on Fox

00:28:26.220 and you're

00:28:26.500 all mad at

00:28:26.940 him or

00:28:27.200 something.

00:28:28.820 All

00:28:29.180 right,

00:28:29.280 let me

00:28:29.440 ask you

00:28:29.720 this.

00:28:30.060 Do you

00:28:31.740 think you're

00:28:32.180 helping yourself

00:28:33.040 by not

00:28:33.560 watching Fox

00:28:34.400 News?

00:28:35.920 Are you

00:28:36.500 helping

00:28:36.740 yourself?

00:28:39.460 People say

00:28:40.200 yes.

00:28:41.260 It helps

00:28:41.900 you not

00:28:42.360 to watch

00:28:42.800 them.

00:28:45.600 Because what?

00:28:46.580 Because you're

00:28:47.020 punishing them?

00:28:49.320 How does it

00:28:50.040 help you?

00:28:52.020 Well, what

00:28:52.640 am I doing

00:28:53.060 wrong?

00:28:53.640 All right, I

00:28:54.400 need some

00:28:54.740 help here.

00:28:55.300 Tell me what

00:28:55.720 I'm doing

00:28:56.020 wrong.

00:28:56.340 I turn

00:28:57.600 on Fox

00:28:58.080 News, I

00:28:59.400 watch The

00:28:59.840 Five, my

00:29:00.680 favorite show,

00:29:01.620 and then I'm

00:29:02.580 all happy.

00:29:04.420 What did I

00:29:05.000 do wrong?

00:29:06.280 Like, why

00:29:06.680 doesn't that

00:29:07.060 work for you?

00:29:08.560 Because you

00:29:09.140 don't like the

00:29:09.860 network?

00:29:11.960 I'm not even

00:29:12.740 sure what the

00:29:13.220 problem is.

00:29:14.320 Because they've

00:29:15.060 lied in the

00:29:15.560 past, you

00:29:15.960 say?

00:29:17.480 But how does

00:29:18.260 that make The

00:29:18.820 Five less

00:29:19.440 entertaining?

00:29:21.380 If I'm

00:29:22.000 watching Gutfeld

00:29:23.020 in the

00:29:23.380 evening, what

00:29:25.380 does anything

00:29:26.100 that Fox

00:29:26.580 News did in

00:29:27.280 the past have

00:29:27.840 to do with

00:29:28.200 that?

00:29:30.260 I don't feel

00:29:31.340 like, I feel

00:29:32.780 like you're

00:29:33.100 kind of boycotting

00:29:34.120 members of your

00:29:35.960 own team.

00:29:37.920 I get that

00:29:38.680 you're mad at

00:29:39.180 them for

00:29:39.560 whatever they

00:29:40.140 did or didn't

00:29:40.640 do.

00:29:41.360 But how's

00:29:42.620 that good for

00:29:43.040 you?

00:29:44.940 I don't know.

00:29:45.260 Think of your

00:29:45.640 own, I would

00:29:46.360 say this, think

00:29:47.140 of your own

00:29:47.600 self-interest.

00:29:49.160 That's probably

00:29:49.840 more important

00:29:50.480 than any

00:29:51.060 statement you're

00:29:52.100 going to make.

00:29:53.680 All right.

00:29:55.940 Well, that'll

00:29:56.660 be fun.

00:29:57.520 Elon Musk

00:29:58.100 tweeted that

00:29:58.820 he's going to

00:29:59.660 get rid of

00:30:00.080 the block

00:30:00.680 feature on

00:30:01.560 X.

00:30:04.260 What do you

00:30:04.880 think happened

00:30:05.420 when he said

00:30:06.340 he's going to

00:30:06.780 get rid of

00:30:07.180 the block

00:30:07.520 feature?

00:30:07.940 Well, let's

00:30:08.340 talk about

00:30:08.740 that.

00:30:09.220 I don't know

00:30:09.760 that it's

00:30:10.100 going to

00:30:10.320 happen because

00:30:10.820 there was a

00:30:11.420 pretty big

00:30:11.940 response about

00:30:13.120 it, but

00:30:14.100 it probably

00:30:14.460 will.

00:30:15.240 Probably

00:30:15.680 will.

00:30:17.700 His argument,

00:30:18.940 I'm guessing,

00:30:20.940 his argument,

00:30:21.800 I'm guessing,

00:30:23.020 would be that

00:30:24.040 free speech is

00:30:24.880 free speech,

00:30:25.720 and it's a

00:30:27.120 free speech

00:30:27.580 platform.

00:30:28.820 But I'm not

00:30:29.700 sure that trolls

00:30:30.540 are a free speech

00:30:31.660 question, are

00:30:32.260 they?

00:30:33.340 Trolls, it's

00:30:34.360 more like you

00:30:35.700 have freedom to

00:30:36.380 walk down the

00:30:36.880 street, but if

00:30:37.580 somebody bangs

00:30:38.780 you in the head

00:30:39.600 when you walk

00:30:40.100 down the street,

00:30:40.940 you weren't as

00:30:41.420 free as you

00:30:41.820 thought.

00:30:43.340 Now, I'm going

00:30:45.280 to echo

00:30:45.520 something that

00:30:46.120 Zuby said about

00:30:47.060 this, which is

00:30:48.060 if you have a

00:30:48.760 smallish, you

00:30:49.660 know, normal

00:30:50.180 Twitter account,

00:30:51.400 this is a good

00:30:52.440 idea for you.

00:30:53.780 If you have a

00:30:54.620 big account, lots

00:30:56.440 of followers,

00:30:57.040 like Zuby, it's

00:30:59.180 a problem because

00:31:01.220 you just, you

00:31:02.220 end up attracting

00:31:03.600 accidentally just

00:31:05.160 the ugliest

00:31:05.980 messaging in the

00:31:07.520 world.

00:31:08.180 Now, it's so

00:31:08.860 ugly that it

00:31:10.660 would prevent me

00:31:12.160 from looking at

00:31:12.780 comments on my

00:31:14.440 own timeline.

00:31:15.580 So, one of the

00:31:17.400 things that I

00:31:17.980 like about my

00:31:18.720 experience on X

00:31:20.000 is that I can

00:31:20.660 tweet something,

00:31:21.800 and then I look

00:31:22.480 at all the

00:31:22.820 different comments

00:31:23.540 and people agree

00:31:24.640 and disagree.

00:31:25.720 And because I

00:31:26.280 block so heavily

00:31:27.420 up to this point,

00:31:29.260 I almost always

00:31:30.580 get reasonably

00:31:32.460 good debates in

00:31:34.040 my comments.

00:31:35.320 Has anybody

00:31:35.640 noticed?

00:31:37.620 Maybe you don't

00:31:38.720 block the people

00:31:39.320 I do so it

00:31:39.900 doesn't look that

00:31:40.500 way, but my

00:31:41.300 own experience

00:31:42.120 of it is that

00:31:43.420 I don't get too

00:31:44.100 many of the

00:31:44.660 just evil trolls.

00:31:47.060 I get more

00:31:47.560 people who just

00:31:48.120 disagree, and

00:31:48.920 they've got a

00:31:49.540 different data

00:31:50.040 source, and that

00:31:51.060 stuff's great.

00:31:52.740 So, I would say

00:31:54.120 that my experience

00:31:55.200 would be degraded

00:31:56.580 if you took

00:31:58.480 blocking away

00:31:59.220 from me.

00:31:59.940 And by the way,

00:32:00.540 blocking gives me

00:32:01.340 a dopamine hit.

00:32:03.220 So, when the

00:32:04.000 trolls take my

00:32:04.860 dopamine away,

00:32:05.760 and I'm like,

00:32:06.240 ugh, ugh,

00:32:07.660 I feel icky.

00:32:09.000 Then I hit the

00:32:09.780 block, my

00:32:11.360 dopamine returns.

00:32:12.180 So, I use the

00:32:14.020 block literally as

00:32:15.240 a mental health

00:32:16.220 tool.

00:32:18.000 And that's not

00:32:18.840 an analogy.

00:32:20.360 That's actually the

00:32:21.480 literal thing I'm

00:32:22.200 doing.

00:32:23.060 My mind is not

00:32:24.020 feeling good.

00:32:24.700 I just read a

00:32:25.420 troll.

00:32:26.540 I block it.

00:32:28.360 My mind is

00:32:29.160 cleared.

00:32:30.640 And then I go

00:32:31.220 on with my day.

00:32:31.980 It's actually

00:32:32.700 literally, no

00:32:34.140 joke, an

00:32:35.600 important part of

00:32:36.480 my mental health.

00:32:38.460 That's not any

00:32:40.100 hyperbole.

00:32:41.120 It's an important

00:32:42.180 part of my

00:32:43.200 mental health.

00:32:44.320 Now, but the

00:32:45.940 counterargument is

00:32:46.760 this.

00:32:48.980 Who cares about

00:32:49.940 you?

00:32:51.060 Which is a pretty

00:32:51.700 good argument.

00:32:53.980 The best

00:32:54.680 counterargument is

00:32:55.480 who cares about

00:32:56.160 you?

00:32:57.460 Because you're

00:32:58.320 one of the

00:32:58.860 rich, big

00:32:59.700 accounts.

00:33:00.440 Almost anybody

00:33:01.120 with a small

00:33:01.820 account, you

00:33:03.040 know, who

00:33:03.340 wanted more

00:33:03.940 exposure, would

00:33:05.000 trade places.

00:33:06.900 You know, wouldn't

00:33:07.500 the people with

00:33:08.120 a thousand followers,

00:33:09.200 if they could,

00:33:10.580 trade places with

00:33:11.820 me to have a

00:33:12.420 million and have

00:33:13.880 more trolls?

00:33:15.040 Well, not

00:33:15.680 everybody, but a

00:33:16.600 lot of people

00:33:17.100 would.

00:33:18.520 So, on one

00:33:20.180 hand, I hate

00:33:22.360 this change, and

00:33:23.860 it would make me

00:33:24.620 feel way less

00:33:26.860 happy about my

00:33:28.200 experience.

00:33:29.260 On the other

00:33:30.060 hand, Musk's

00:33:32.320 argument is a

00:33:33.420 populist argument.

00:33:35.360 Most people on

00:33:36.420 Twitter are

00:33:36.920 smaller accounts,

00:33:37.800 and they

00:33:38.840 would like to

00:33:39.280 have their

00:33:39.580 say.

00:33:42.340 Free speech is

00:33:43.340 a bitch, isn't

00:33:43.960 it?

00:33:45.060 Free speech is

00:33:45.980 a bitch.

00:33:47.620 And I'm going

00:33:48.680 to come down

00:33:49.200 on this where

00:33:50.860 I haven't seen

00:33:51.480 anybody else

00:33:52.200 come down on

00:33:53.040 it.

00:33:54.980 Removing

00:33:55.420 blocking would

00:33:56.180 be absolutely

00:33:57.220 bad for my

00:33:58.440 experience and

00:33:59.220 my mental

00:33:59.680 health.

00:34:01.860 I don't know

00:34:02.680 that it would

00:34:03.040 be bad for

00:34:03.620 people with

00:34:04.040 small accounts,

00:34:04.860 and they're the

00:34:05.480 vast majority.

00:34:07.800 Why would my

00:34:09.200 preference be

00:34:10.600 more important

00:34:11.200 than a vast

00:34:12.300 majority of

00:34:12.980 people?

00:34:14.000 It's not.

00:34:15.220 It's just not.

00:34:16.360 Because I have

00:34:16.920 freedom to use

00:34:17.840 it or not use

00:34:18.480 it, read the

00:34:19.100 comments or not

00:34:19.740 read the

00:34:20.040 comments.

00:34:20.760 I have lots

00:34:21.420 of freedom.

00:34:23.480 So it really

00:34:24.580 comes down to

00:34:25.140 my problem,

00:34:25.840 doesn't it?

00:34:27.660 Do I think

00:34:28.540 that the vast

00:34:29.740 number of

00:34:30.520 Twitter users

00:34:31.220 should be

00:34:32.720 degraded in

00:34:33.740 their experience,

00:34:34.660 in other words,

00:34:35.120 they're ones

00:34:35.480 getting blocked,

00:34:36.220 should I

00:34:37.620 degrade all

00:34:38.220 of their

00:34:38.500 experience so

00:34:39.760 I can get

00:34:40.220 my little

00:34:40.820 benefit?

00:34:44.800 I think the

00:34:45.920 fairest thing I

00:34:46.760 can do is

00:34:47.500 say what my

00:34:48.300 feeling is and

00:34:49.080 what my opinion

00:34:49.660 is, and then

00:34:51.060 let Elon Musk

00:34:52.220 run his

00:34:52.720 company.

00:34:53.980 Because I

00:34:54.580 don't feel I'm

00:34:55.340 smart enough to

00:34:56.400 judge this one.

00:34:58.240 I feel this is

00:34:59.020 just the weight

00:35:01.120 that the public

00:35:01.840 needs to win.

00:35:03.260 So here's how

00:35:04.640 I would come

00:35:05.440 down to this.

00:35:06.220 If most of

00:35:07.340 the people on

00:35:08.240 Twitter like

00:35:08.960 this idea,

00:35:09.720 because they're

00:35:10.040 the ones getting

00:35:10.760 blocked as

00:35:11.400 opposed to

00:35:11.840 what else,

00:35:12.980 I would

00:35:15.260 reluctantly agree

00:35:18.500 that Musk is

00:35:20.360 not making a

00:35:21.040 bad decision.

00:35:22.520 At least to

00:35:23.340 test it.

00:35:24.560 You know,

00:35:25.020 what do I

00:35:25.960 always say?

00:35:27.780 You don't

00:35:28.460 have to decide

00:35:29.200 if it's a good

00:35:29.780 or bad idea.

00:35:31.140 If you can

00:35:31.960 test it, you

00:35:33.140 don't have to

00:35:33.700 decide.

00:35:34.060 Twitter is

00:35:36.080 sort of the

00:35:36.460 ultimate example

00:35:37.240 of that.

00:35:38.000 They could

00:35:38.680 just set aside

00:35:40.120 the code that

00:35:40.800 allows you to

00:35:41.300 block, but

00:35:42.000 don't delete it

00:35:43.240 obviously, and

00:35:44.520 just keep it

00:35:45.100 ready, run an

00:35:46.840 experience where

00:35:47.880 everybody's unblocked

00:35:48.820 for a while, see

00:35:50.140 what happens.

00:35:51.760 People like it,

00:35:52.580 people don't like

00:35:53.240 it, and then

00:35:53.900 make a decision

00:35:55.100 from there.

00:35:55.500 So if you're

00:35:56.460 thinking that, if

00:35:57.660 you believe that

00:35:58.280 Musk has made a

00:35:59.160 decision that is

00:36:01.280 unreversible, I

00:36:02.860 don't think you

00:36:03.300 understand software,

00:36:04.760 it's very

00:36:05.260 reversible.

00:36:06.160 You've seen him

00:36:06.760 experiment quite a

00:36:07.660 bit on the

00:36:08.360 interface.

00:36:09.100 So it's very

00:36:09.880 reversible, but

00:36:11.480 when he makes a

00:36:12.200 statement that he's

00:36:13.160 going to get rid

00:36:14.020 of it, that gets

00:36:15.440 him all the

00:36:15.920 feedback and

00:36:16.660 attention he

00:36:17.280 needs to make a

00:36:19.480 better decision.

00:36:20.320 But I think he'll

00:36:20.960 probably test it.

00:36:22.220 If I were him, I'd

00:36:23.280 test it, even if

00:36:24.740 there was a big

00:36:25.380 yelling at first,

00:36:26.860 I'd test it.

00:36:28.020 I think you

00:36:28.780 will.

00:36:30.980 All right.

00:36:33.100 Let's see.

00:36:35.640 So here's a

00:36:36.280 good test of your

00:36:37.360 conspiracy mind.

00:36:39.140 So Laura

00:36:39.720 Loomer, who's

00:36:41.560 probably one of

00:36:42.180 the most

00:36:42.840 canceled people on

00:36:44.160 the planet, who's

00:36:44.920 not me, she's

00:36:48.300 had problems from

00:36:50.220 banking to

00:36:51.440 social networks,

00:36:53.300 but she's

00:36:54.000 allowed on

00:36:54.460 Twitter, and

00:36:55.920 she has a

00:36:57.120 pretty big

00:36:57.480 account, and

00:36:59.800 she gets 200

00:37:00.860 to 400 million

00:37:01.640 impressions, but

00:37:03.080 she only got

00:37:03.580 like a, I

00:37:04.380 don't know, some

00:37:05.300 tiny little

00:37:06.060 amount of

00:37:06.840 payoff from

00:37:07.640 being a

00:37:08.360 Twitter or

00:37:10.620 an ex-user

00:37:12.300 who had signed

00:37:13.500 up for

00:37:13.900 monetization.

00:37:15.400 So she

00:37:16.100 thought that

00:37:16.580 she was being

00:37:17.340 maybe suppressed

00:37:18.720 in some way,

00:37:20.120 because her

00:37:20.660 first payoff was

00:37:21.540 small.

00:37:22.100 What do you

00:37:22.520 think?

00:37:22.700 So the

00:37:23.260 only thing

00:37:23.640 we know is

00:37:25.100 that an

00:37:25.480 account her

00:37:26.120 size would

00:37:27.000 normally have,

00:37:28.320 I'll give you

00:37:28.980 numbers just for

00:37:29.720 decision making.

00:37:30.560 These are not

00:37:30.960 the real numbers,

00:37:32.120 but they're

00:37:32.520 approximate.

00:37:33.740 An account her

00:37:34.540 size might be

00:37:35.500 expected to make

00:37:36.300 $5,000 to $7,000 a

00:37:38.640 month from

00:37:39.320 Twitter ad

00:37:40.200 payments.

00:37:41.540 Her actual

00:37:42.500 payment, instead

00:37:43.320 of $5,000 to $7,000,

00:37:44.980 was closer to

00:37:46.320 under $200.

00:37:46.940 And she's seen

00:37:49.160 other people

00:37:49.740 advertise what

00:37:50.660 they got from

00:37:51.220 X, and so

00:37:53.040 she's like,

00:37:53.640 hey, what's

00:37:54.180 going on?

00:37:54.960 I have this

00:37:55.460 much engagement,

00:37:56.680 but I got like

00:37:57.740 5% of that.

00:37:59.840 What's going on?

00:38:00.740 All right, you

00:38:01.340 tell me.

00:38:02.220 This is the only

00:38:02.860 thing we know

00:38:03.400 so far.

00:38:04.660 You tell me.

00:38:06.000 Is there

00:38:06.400 something going

00:38:07.140 on, or is she

00:38:08.820 being traded

00:38:09.440 exactly like

00:38:10.320 everybody else?

00:38:11.080 What do you

00:38:11.320 think?

00:38:11.500 What's your

00:38:13.340 best speculation

00:38:14.340 with limited

00:38:15.320 information?

00:38:16.880 Speculate with

00:38:17.660 limited information.

00:38:19.920 Thank you,

00:38:20.800 Erica.

00:38:21.340 The correct

00:38:22.080 answer is no

00:38:22.840 clue.

00:38:24.420 Yeah.

00:38:24.920 The amount

00:38:25.740 that you as an

00:38:26.900 observer can tell

00:38:27.840 about this

00:38:28.340 situation is

00:38:29.120 nothing.

00:38:30.100 Just nothing.

00:38:31.460 I will add

00:38:32.380 one thing to

00:38:33.040 it, which

00:38:34.560 when I got

00:38:35.080 my first

00:38:35.720 check for

00:38:37.280 having

00:38:37.820 advertisements

00:38:38.460 in X,

00:38:40.420 it looked

00:38:41.380 to be like

00:38:42.020 way smaller

00:38:43.340 than other

00:38:44.740 accounts my

00:38:45.360 size, because

00:38:46.020 they had been

00:38:46.440 publishing their

00:38:47.220 numbers.

00:38:48.700 And I think

00:38:49.140 Ian Miles

00:38:50.700 Chung or

00:38:51.900 somebody had

00:38:52.560 published, and

00:38:53.740 I looked at

00:38:54.120 the size of

00:38:54.680 his account

00:38:55.200 and engagement,

00:38:56.540 and I looked

00:38:56.960 at mine, and

00:38:57.460 I thought,

00:38:58.220 they should be

00:38:58.700 kind of similar,

00:39:00.520 but I got

00:39:01.280 like this little

00:39:02.180 peanut, and he

00:39:03.580 got a pretty

00:39:04.580 sizable check.

00:39:06.440 And so the

00:39:07.020 first month I

00:39:07.680 said to myself,

00:39:08.580 the same as

00:39:09.020 Laura Loomer,

00:39:09.960 I said,

00:39:10.360 is something

00:39:11.200 going on

00:39:11.740 here?

00:39:12.780 I wasn't

00:39:13.260 even sure

00:39:14.420 that I was

00:39:15.400 registered in

00:39:16.120 the system.

00:39:16.680 I thought

00:39:16.880 maybe I was

00:39:17.360 confusing it

00:39:18.080 with some

00:39:18.360 other payment

00:39:18.820 or something.

00:39:19.600 It was so

00:39:20.040 small.

00:39:21.480 So the

00:39:23.120 second payment

00:39:23.820 was totally

00:39:25.620 in the range

00:39:26.380 of what I

00:39:27.140 would have

00:39:27.380 expected,

00:39:28.040 right?

00:39:29.400 So the

00:39:29.740 second one

00:39:30.160 was fine.

00:39:31.120 Now my

00:39:31.640 guess is that

00:39:32.400 Laura Loomer

00:39:32.860 will have the

00:39:33.360 same experience,

00:39:34.560 that the

00:39:35.040 second check

00:39:35.660 will be

00:39:36.060 somewhere in

00:39:36.620 the range

00:39:37.000 of what

00:39:37.360 you'd expect.

00:39:38.060 the first

00:39:39.380 one might

00:39:39.700 have been

00:39:39.860 a partial

00:39:40.320 month,

00:39:41.380 right?

00:39:42.640 Might have

00:39:43.020 been a

00:39:43.240 partial month.

00:39:45.020 Or there

00:39:45.620 could be a

00:39:46.080 bug about

00:39:46.460 the first

00:39:46.840 month or

00:39:48.300 something like

00:39:48.860 that.

00:39:49.320 But I

00:39:49.540 don't think

00:39:50.440 that Elon

00:39:53.040 Musk is

00:39:53.640 suppressing

00:39:54.120 her.

00:39:55.160 Now, here's

00:39:55.960 the argument

00:39:56.400 for yes.

00:39:58.180 Don't you

00:39:58.620 think that

00:39:59.480 Twitter works

00:40:01.600 with advertisers

00:40:02.440 and do you

00:40:03.540 think the

00:40:03.880 advertisers do

00:40:04.780 not ever

00:40:05.320 say,

00:40:05.720 don't pair

00:40:07.000 us with

00:40:07.420 some kinds

00:40:08.020 of content?

00:40:09.780 Do you

00:40:10.040 think that's

00:40:10.420 ever happened?

00:40:11.540 Because that's

00:40:12.260 what the

00:40:12.780 YouTube model

00:40:13.680 is.

00:40:14.060 The YouTube

00:40:14.540 model is,

00:40:15.620 it's not

00:40:16.060 really YouTube

00:40:16.760 that's banning

00:40:17.440 people.

00:40:19.820 It's mostly

00:40:20.820 the advertisers

00:40:21.580 saying we

00:40:22.100 don't want to

00:40:22.520 be associated

00:40:23.120 with that

00:40:23.520 kind of

00:40:23.800 content.

00:40:25.180 So what

00:40:25.940 if, what

00:40:27.240 if Laura

00:40:27.640 Loomer is

00:40:28.100 right?

00:40:29.680 But by the

00:40:30.200 way, I'm

00:40:30.480 not debunking

00:40:31.200 her claim.

00:40:32.140 If it

00:40:32.480 sounded like

00:40:33.000 that, then I

00:40:33.780 went too

00:40:34.140 far.

00:40:34.360 I'm not

00:40:35.080 debunking

00:40:35.600 her claim.

00:40:36.540 I'm saying

00:40:37.000 we literally

00:40:37.740 have no

00:40:38.260 idea.

00:40:38.980 It's just

00:40:39.500 a mystery

00:40:39.920 on the

00:40:40.360 first month.

00:40:41.080 The mystery

00:40:41.720 will go

00:40:42.180 away if

00:40:42.640 the second

00:40:43.020 month is

00:40:43.440 normal.

00:40:44.240 It would

00:40:44.520 just mean

00:40:44.840 there's

00:40:45.020 something

00:40:45.240 about the

00:40:45.700 first month.

00:40:47.080 But would

00:40:49.600 you, if

00:40:50.120 you were an

00:40:50.500 advertiser,

00:40:51.240 would you

00:40:51.520 say, why

00:40:52.220 don't you

00:40:52.520 pair me

00:40:52.920 with Laura

00:40:53.420 Loomer type

00:40:54.800 material?

00:40:56.640 Yeah.

00:40:57.000 So she

00:40:57.460 might actually

00:40:58.100 be on some

00:40:58.700 kind of a

00:40:59.100 blacklist and

00:41:00.840 we wouldn't

00:41:01.280 know about

00:41:01.740 it.

00:41:02.220 But I

00:41:02.620 think that's

00:41:02.980 a fair

00:41:03.300 question for

00:41:03.940 Elon Musk,

00:41:04.580 isn't it?

00:41:05.440 I haven't

00:41:05.860 seen anybody

00:41:06.280 ask him the

00:41:06.840 question.

00:41:07.780 But the

00:41:08.020 question would

00:41:08.480 be, are

00:41:09.100 you satisfying

00:41:11.800 advertisers in

00:41:13.560 any way with

00:41:14.440 a blacklist?

00:41:16.720 I would think

00:41:17.680 they would have

00:41:18.160 to.

00:41:18.940 It seems like

00:41:19.560 it's almost

00:41:20.100 required.

00:41:22.100 I don't know

00:41:22.560 how you could

00:41:22.900 not do it,

00:41:23.580 honestly.

00:41:25.020 If they could

00:41:25.760 convince, if

00:41:28.520 there was a way

00:41:29.020 to convince the

00:41:30.080 advertisers that it

00:41:31.740 doesn't matter,

00:41:32.400 that would be

00:41:33.160 awesome.

00:41:33.780 Here's how I

00:41:34.380 would do it.

00:41:34.820 If I were

00:41:35.200 Musk, I

00:41:36.100 would say

00:41:36.380 this.

00:41:37.540 Now, we're

00:41:38.000 a free speech

00:41:38.980 platform, and

00:41:41.120 that means you

00:41:41.820 would be in

00:41:42.540 the feeds of

00:41:44.500 people you

00:41:44.900 loved and

00:41:45.380 people you

00:41:45.820 hated, but

00:41:46.900 people on

00:41:47.440 Twitter understand

00:41:48.160 that.

00:41:49.160 So that would

00:41:49.600 be the best

00:41:50.120 argument.

00:41:51.080 The people on

00:41:51.680 Twitter understand

00:41:52.880 that wherever

00:41:54.520 they see it is

00:41:55.620 not an indication

00:41:56.440 of being paired.

00:41:58.140 Now, if they

00:41:58.820 paired it with

00:41:59.380 a tweet, that

00:42:01.060 would be a

00:42:01.440 problem.

00:42:02.380 Pairing it

00:42:02.880 with the

00:42:03.260 comments to

00:42:03.980 the tweet will

00:42:05.420 just as often

00:42:06.240 pair it with

00:42:06.780 somebody saying,

00:42:07.440 Laura Loomer,

00:42:08.100 you're the worst

00:42:08.580 person in the

00:42:09.120 world, which

00:42:10.300 maybe they

00:42:10.780 agree with.

00:42:12.020 So I think

00:42:14.620 Twitter has a

00:42:15.540 good argument,

00:42:16.140 better than

00:42:16.620 YouTube, an

00:42:17.840 argument that

00:42:18.740 because the

00:42:20.300 ads are

00:42:20.720 randomized, that's

00:42:22.520 much different

00:42:23.020 than YouTube.

00:42:23.680 Now, imagine

00:42:24.080 YouTube, there's

00:42:24.720 an hour-long

00:42:25.440 video, and

00:42:26.900 you're associated

00:42:27.520 with that.

00:42:28.440 If you're an

00:42:28.860 advertiser, you

00:42:29.520 don't want to be

00:42:30.040 associated with

00:42:30.640 like an hour-long

00:42:31.720 bad content.

00:42:34.260 But a tweet is

00:42:35.520 fleeting, right?

00:42:37.260 It's one of a

00:42:38.080 hundred things that

00:42:38.840 person did that

00:42:39.500 day.

00:42:40.400 So you could make

00:42:41.340 the argument on

00:42:41.920 Twitter that ads

00:42:42.980 are randomized

00:42:43.580 sufficiently that

00:42:45.440 people don't even

00:42:46.140 really associate

00:42:47.640 them with the

00:42:48.460 tweeter, which I

00:42:50.460 think is true.

00:42:51.600 Have you ever

00:42:52.080 associated an ad

00:42:53.220 you saw on X

00:42:54.120 with the person

00:42:55.820 who tweeted?

00:42:57.680 I don't think it's

00:42:58.620 ever even occurred

00:42:59.220 to me.

00:42:59.520 No, it's

00:43:00.580 never crossed my

00:43:02.060 mind.

00:43:02.980 But I definitely

00:43:03.660 have had those

00:43:04.340 feelings about

00:43:04.960 YouTube, where I

00:43:06.560 go, oh, that's a

00:43:07.300 weird ad to be

00:43:08.120 associated with this

00:43:09.680 content.

00:43:10.580 Never had that

00:43:11.300 thought with

00:43:11.680 Twitter, because

00:43:12.160 it's sufficiently

00:43:13.000 randomized.

00:43:15.040 So we'll see.

00:43:17.520 Well, the

00:43:18.340 foreshadowing has

00:43:19.660 begun.

00:43:20.540 Both CNN, Jake

00:43:22.020 Tapper, and the

00:43:23.340 Washington Post, who

00:43:24.560 he quoted in his

00:43:25.380 story, say that

00:43:27.260 Trump was right

00:43:28.040 about Biden

00:43:28.660 taking money

00:43:29.280 from China.

00:43:31.900 So they

00:43:32.600 actually showed

00:43:33.260 the clip of

00:43:34.240 Trump saying

00:43:34.820 the thing that

00:43:35.660 Biden said is

00:43:36.660 not true, and

00:43:37.860 then they said,

00:43:38.560 no, Biden was

00:43:39.920 wrong.

00:43:41.040 Now, Jake

00:43:41.500 Tapper actually

00:43:42.360 gave Biden the

00:43:43.280 out that maybe

00:43:44.600 he didn't know

00:43:45.400 what his son was

00:43:46.300 doing.

00:43:47.060 So they're

00:43:47.680 calling it,

00:43:48.320 quote, a

00:43:49.080 blind spot.

00:43:50.980 That maybe

00:43:51.400 Joe Biden might

00:43:52.800 have had a

00:43:53.180 blind spot for

00:43:54.240 what his son

00:43:54.760 was doing.

00:43:55.220 And then they

00:43:56.600 had on Andy

00:43:57.880 Levin, who's

00:43:58.720 a Democrat, and

00:44:00.120 he said, keep

00:44:02.020 in mind, this

00:44:02.480 was yesterday.

00:44:04.660 He said, there's

00:44:05.680 no whiff of Joe

00:44:06.620 Biden being

00:44:07.240 involved in

00:44:07.840 Hunter's

00:44:08.200 business.

00:44:09.760 There's no

00:44:10.520 whiff.

00:44:12.380 Really?

00:44:13.600 Really?

00:44:14.800 You haven't

00:44:15.720 picked up any

00:44:17.100 little whiff.

00:44:18.820 Not a whiff.

00:44:20.620 Nothing?

00:44:20.920 Now, imagine

00:44:24.520 how much of a

00:44:25.340 bubble, a

00:44:26.320 news bubble, you

00:44:27.060 would have to

00:44:27.480 be in to

00:44:28.700 hear this guy

00:44:29.360 say there's

00:44:29.940 not a whiff

00:44:30.440 of Joe

00:44:30.820 Biden being

00:44:32.180 involved.

00:44:33.160 Now, obviously

00:44:33.960 he's talking

00:44:34.340 about the

00:44:34.780 paper trail, but

00:44:36.400 that's a pretty

00:44:37.560 big stretch, given

00:44:39.260 all that we know

00:44:40.160 that is well

00:44:40.960 confirmed, to

00:44:42.280 say that there's

00:44:43.600 not a whiff.

00:44:44.980 It would be

00:44:45.940 fair to say,

00:44:46.760 it would be

00:44:47.680 fair to say

00:44:48.200 there's no

00:44:48.720 paper trail.

00:44:49.240 I haven't

00:44:50.920 seen one, not

00:44:52.260 that has his

00:44:53.180 name on it, and

00:44:54.420 it would be

00:44:54.900 fair to say

00:44:55.600 I don't know

00:44:57.340 of a specific

00:44:58.000 crime that's

00:45:01.180 suggested, or

00:45:04.460 at least that's

00:45:04.920 proven.

00:45:06.460 But to say

00:45:07.100 there's not a

00:45:07.600 whiff, come

00:45:08.160 on.

00:45:08.840 But the bigger

00:45:09.600 story was not

00:45:10.280 that, because

00:45:10.820 of course the

00:45:11.420 pundits are

00:45:12.000 going to say

00:45:12.280 what pundits

00:45:12.700 do.

00:45:13.220 But imagine

00:45:13.980 that both the

00:45:14.640 Washington Post

00:45:15.500 and CNN,

00:45:17.480 which you know

00:45:18.600 are not real

00:45:19.380 news entities,

00:45:20.720 right?

00:45:21.720 If I say

00:45:22.460 Washington Post

00:45:23.220 and CNN, your

00:45:24.620 brain should

00:45:25.220 automatically say,

00:45:26.300 oh, the fake

00:45:26.920 news people.

00:45:28.780 They're the

00:45:29.860 chief fake

00:45:30.620 news people in

00:45:31.480 politics right

00:45:32.500 now.

00:45:34.500 Both of them

00:45:35.320 are saying

00:45:35.660 Biden lied.

00:45:37.260 They're both

00:45:37.660 saying Biden

00:45:38.160 lied about

00:45:38.840 something that

00:45:39.440 kind of matters,

00:45:40.640 doesn't it?

00:45:42.360 And then also

00:45:43.520 we saw on,

00:45:44.980 was it Face

00:45:46.180 the Nation,

00:45:47.040 or what was

00:45:47.480 it?

00:45:47.620 No, Meet

00:45:47.980 the Press.

00:45:48.600 Which was

00:45:49.400 it?

00:45:49.920 Give me a

00:45:50.400 fact check.

00:45:50.940 Who was

00:45:51.960 Representative

00:45:53.040 Dean Phillips

00:45:53.760 went on and

00:45:55.040 he was

00:45:55.460 encouraging

00:45:56.000 people to

00:45:57.020 get into

00:45:58.120 the Democratic

00:45:58.720 primary?

00:46:01.140 It was

00:46:01.820 NBC,

00:46:02.400 wasn't it?

00:46:03.960 Give me a

00:46:04.700 fact check on

00:46:05.280 that.

00:46:06.220 I think it

00:46:06.560 was NBC.

00:46:07.180 The reason I

00:46:07.920 say that is

00:46:08.560 that NBC

00:46:09.260 would be

00:46:11.100 another signal

00:46:11.980 for good

00:46:12.920 news watchers.

00:46:15.860 What would

00:46:16.700 it tell you

00:46:17.380 if NBC,

00:46:19.380 well, actually

00:46:20.360 it was one

00:46:20.800 person, but

00:46:21.620 they probably

00:46:22.200 knew what

00:46:22.520 he was going

00:46:22.840 to say.

00:46:24.720 It was

00:46:25.380 Meet the

00:46:25.720 Depressed?

00:46:27.160 All right,

00:46:27.620 well, I think

00:46:28.020 I got that

00:46:28.440 story right.

00:46:29.180 So if it

00:46:29.760 was NBC,

00:46:31.320 there are

00:46:31.880 people like

00:46:32.340 Glenn Greenwald,

00:46:33.180 for example,

00:46:33.580 who say that

00:46:34.320 they're an

00:46:35.420 intelligence CIA

00:46:37.360 news outlet.

00:46:38.440 so if

00:46:40.100 that's true,

00:46:41.780 that would

00:46:42.160 suggest that

00:46:43.240 the intelligence

00:46:44.200 people might

00:46:46.540 be okay with

00:46:47.640 getting rid of

00:46:48.280 Biden, and

00:46:50.200 if CNN and

00:46:51.180 Washington Post's

00:46:52.500 coverage of it,

00:46:53.580 of Biden being

00:46:54.260 the liar, is

00:46:56.560 suggesting that

00:46:57.500 they're very done

00:46:58.500 with him, but

00:46:59.080 they don't know

00:46:59.520 what to do with

00:47:00.120 the Kamala Harris

00:47:00.900 problem.

00:47:02.260 So I think all

00:47:03.060 indications are

00:47:03.980 basically 100% of

00:47:06.400 the evidence

00:47:06.960 suggests Democrats

00:47:08.700 are trying to

00:47:09.340 get rid of

00:47:09.780 Biden.

00:47:10.200 Would you

00:47:10.480 agree?

00:47:11.720 100% of

00:47:13.020 available evidence

00:47:14.060 suggests they

00:47:15.720 want to get rid

00:47:16.180 of him, and

00:47:17.020 it's obvious that

00:47:18.440 Kamala Harris is

00:47:19.220 the problem.

00:47:20.080 Would you

00:47:20.440 agree?

00:47:21.840 I feel like

00:47:22.980 this is opinion,

00:47:24.600 but it's opinion

00:47:25.400 that's so close

00:47:26.160 to obvious that

00:47:28.400 it's like just

00:47:28.920 one degree away

00:47:29.860 from fact.

00:47:31.280 You know,

00:47:31.560 anything could

00:47:32.140 be wrong, I

00:47:32.720 suppose.

00:47:33.060 I could be

00:47:33.400 wrong, but I

00:47:34.340 mean, this looks

00:47:34.800 as clear as

00:47:35.480 anything ever

00:47:35.980 has ever

00:47:36.620 looked.

00:47:37.420 If we're

00:47:38.100 wrong about

00:47:38.600 this, I'd

00:47:39.120 be amazed.

00:47:40.940 All right,

00:47:41.620 have you

00:47:42.220 noticed, do

00:47:43.000 you remember

00:47:43.320 when DeSantis

00:47:46.340 was just being

00:47:48.160 a governor

00:47:48.660 before he was

00:47:49.440 running for

00:47:50.020 president, and

00:47:52.120 I kept being

00:47:53.480 amazed at how

00:47:54.300 he would find

00:47:54.880 one thing after

00:47:55.740 another to make

00:47:56.520 news that was

00:47:58.020 like a useful

00:47:58.740 thing for his

00:48:00.060 base.

00:48:01.020 You know, the

00:48:01.360 other side would

00:48:01.980 scream, but

00:48:02.500 like lots of

00:48:03.620 little useful

00:48:04.480 news-making

00:48:05.880 little things,

00:48:06.920 and he was

00:48:07.220 just always in

00:48:07.960 the news doing

00:48:09.240 one smart thing

00:48:10.260 after another.

00:48:11.600 Smart defined

00:48:12.560 as doing

00:48:14.520 things in

00:48:14.920 space once.

00:48:16.360 Now, have

00:48:16.820 you noticed

00:48:17.240 that that same

00:48:17.980 pattern exists

00:48:18.940 in another

00:48:19.560 Floridian,

00:48:21.620 Matt Gates?

00:48:23.220 Have you noticed

00:48:24.060 how many times

00:48:24.680 Matt Gates

00:48:25.480 finds a topic

00:48:27.240 or an issue

00:48:27.920 that you didn't

00:48:28.480 even know was

00:48:29.120 one, but as

00:48:30.380 soon as he

00:48:30.860 says it's an

00:48:31.640 issue, you say,

00:48:32.400 oh yeah, that

00:48:32.940 is kind of

00:48:33.320 an issue, and

00:48:34.300 then he says

00:48:34.800 what he wants

00:48:35.240 to do about

00:48:35.760 it.

00:48:36.440 Not always

00:48:37.180 successful, but

00:48:39.060 he'll say I'm

00:48:39.680 using this tool

00:48:40.520 of government to

00:48:41.980 try to kill

00:48:42.560 this thing, and

00:48:43.680 every time I

00:48:44.280 hear it, I

00:48:44.700 think, oh

00:48:45.720 yeah, that is

00:48:46.700 a thing that

00:48:47.160 needs to get

00:48:47.620 killed.

00:48:48.680 Well, he's at

00:48:49.220 it again.

00:48:51.760 He's calling

00:48:52.440 on Congress to

00:48:53.340 investigate the

00:48:54.180 judge who's

00:48:55.340 going to be

00:48:55.680 judging Trump

00:48:57.060 in, I guess,

00:48:58.800 the, in one

00:49:00.640 of the cases,

00:49:02.200 Judge Tanya

00:49:03.380 Chutkin, and

00:49:05.980 apparently she

00:49:06.760 is somewhat

00:49:07.800 infamous for

00:49:08.920 giving extra

00:49:09.840 hard, extra

00:49:12.580 hard sentences

00:49:13.640 to the January

00:49:14.540 6 people.

00:49:16.100 Now, my head

00:49:17.580 just exploded.

00:49:19.620 I just told

00:49:20.620 you that Trump

00:49:21.280 will have the

00:49:21.860 same judge who

00:49:23.400 is well known

00:49:24.260 for unusually

00:49:26.180 hard sentences

00:49:28.480 for the January

00:49:29.400 6 people.

00:49:30.640 Is that who

00:49:31.800 you want?

00:49:32.940 And then it

00:49:33.280 goes further.

00:49:35.380 Matt Gaetz

00:49:35.780 also accuses

00:49:36.700 her of

00:49:37.260 supporting the

00:49:37.900 2020 Black

00:49:38.760 Lives Matter

00:49:39.340 protests, some

00:49:40.780 of which were

00:49:41.340 violent, while

00:49:43.440 at the same

00:49:43.960 time openly

00:49:44.700 criticizing the

00:49:45.680 Capitol riot.

00:49:48.480 So he thinks

00:49:49.560 this rises to

00:49:50.420 the level where

00:49:51.180 the judge should

00:49:52.340 be called before

00:49:52.960 Congress, and

00:49:55.000 I agree.

00:49:56.320 And I agree.

00:49:57.980 That's absolutely

00:49:59.000 what he should

00:50:00.380 do.

00:50:01.040 And by the

00:50:01.440 way, who

00:50:01.900 even thought

00:50:02.640 of this?

00:50:03.900 Who else

00:50:04.340 thought of it?

00:50:05.920 Now, you

00:50:06.480 might say to

00:50:06.980 yourself, but

00:50:07.560 Scott, this

00:50:08.360 would be a

00:50:08.660 bad precedent.

00:50:10.080 It would be a

00:50:10.500 terrible precedent

00:50:11.220 to have the

00:50:11.900 Congress interfering

00:50:13.300 in this.

00:50:14.480 But not in

00:50:15.060 this case.

00:50:15.940 In this case,

00:50:16.880 this is a purely

00:50:17.860 political situation,

00:50:19.280 and that's

00:50:19.680 Congress's job,

00:50:21.340 the political

00:50:21.880 stuff.

00:50:22.280 If I thought

00:50:23.560 this was only

00:50:24.620 about the

00:50:25.980 law and

00:50:26.620 a crime, then

00:50:28.320 I'd say,

00:50:28.760 oh, Matt

00:50:29.400 Gates, stay

00:50:30.840 the hell away

00:50:31.360 from the

00:50:32.280 judges.

00:50:33.660 Good or bad,

00:50:35.240 you don't want

00:50:35.800 your Congress

00:50:36.400 messing with the

00:50:37.520 judges.

00:50:38.600 This is about

00:50:39.500 the law, or

00:50:40.820 about a crime.

00:50:42.120 You're about to

00:50:42.760 make in the

00:50:43.200 laws, you stay

00:50:44.120 over there.

00:50:45.100 But this is not

00:50:46.260 anything like a

00:50:47.120 criminal case.

00:50:48.220 This is only a

00:50:49.140 political thing,

00:50:49.900 in the opinion

00:50:50.760 of at least

00:50:51.480 50 to 60%

00:50:53.060 of the public

00:50:54.220 is purely

00:50:54.700 political.

00:50:56.520 In that case,

00:50:57.500 this is exactly

00:50:58.380 the right move,

00:51:00.000 and he just

00:51:03.160 keeps doing it.

00:51:04.880 Why is it that

00:51:05.640 Matt Gates

00:51:06.280 keeps doing

00:51:07.280 productive,

00:51:08.200 for his base,

00:51:09.700 productive,

00:51:11.060 interesting,

00:51:12.340 news-making

00:51:12.880 things?

00:51:14.520 When was the

00:51:15.380 last time

00:51:15.820 DeSantis did

00:51:16.600 that?

00:51:18.120 When was the

00:51:18.980 last time

00:51:19.380 DeSantis did

00:51:20.260 one of those

00:51:20.800 signature,

00:51:22.320 like, good

00:51:23.080 governor things?

00:51:24.700 It's been a

00:51:25.180 while, hasn't

00:51:25.720 it?

00:51:26.500 It's been a

00:51:27.140 while.

00:51:28.560 You know

00:51:29.080 what it feels

00:51:29.540 like?

00:51:32.480 It feels like

00:51:33.420 that for a

00:51:33.860 while they had

00:51:34.360 the same

00:51:34.760 advisor,

00:51:35.820 but now

00:51:37.560 DeSantis

00:51:38.000 doesn't.

00:51:39.400 It feels to

00:51:39.900 me like

00:51:40.280 DeSantis

00:51:41.840 lost a

00:51:42.680 key advisor

00:51:43.340 who is

00:51:45.140 maybe friends

00:51:47.760 with Matt

00:51:48.180 Gates.

00:51:48.980 or Matt

00:51:52.140 Gates was

00:51:53.180 the key

00:51:53.640 advisor for

00:51:55.200 DeSantis.

00:51:58.760 And that

00:52:00.400 maybe they

00:52:00.940 were a little

00:52:01.280 closer when

00:52:02.160 it was about

00:52:02.660 Florida,

00:52:03.540 but now that

00:52:04.580 it's about

00:52:04.940 the presidency,

00:52:05.960 Matt Gates

00:52:06.440 peels off

00:52:07.500 pro-Trump

00:52:08.260 and just

00:52:09.200 keeps doing

00:52:09.740 his thing.

00:52:10.280 So at the

00:52:13.060 moment that

00:52:13.600 Matt Gates

00:52:14.280 peels off

00:52:15.720 from Florida

00:52:16.820 business to

00:52:17.760 national business,

00:52:19.340 that's the

00:52:20.280 same moment

00:52:20.840 that DeSantis

00:52:21.520 stops his

00:52:23.100 string of

00:52:23.900 great political

00:52:24.640 acts that are

00:52:26.080 good for the

00:52:26.540 base, but

00:52:27.360 Matt Gates

00:52:27.860 keeps doing

00:52:28.440 them?

00:52:30.020 I don't know.

00:52:31.500 There's

00:52:31.980 something there.

00:52:32.500 I'm going

00:52:36.660 to give you

00:52:37.040 the optimism

00:52:37.900 which is

00:52:38.540 unwarranted,

00:52:39.620 but you

00:52:40.300 like it

00:52:40.720 anyway.

00:52:42.240 Can I

00:52:42.920 have your

00:52:43.260 permission to

00:52:44.600 give you

00:52:45.060 unwarranted

00:52:45.880 optimism with

00:52:47.460 the understanding

00:52:48.160 that you're

00:52:48.700 going to say,

00:52:49.240 that's not

00:52:50.000 Scott,

00:52:50.700 you're,

00:52:51.120 no,

00:52:51.580 no,

00:52:51.800 I'm not

00:52:52.060 seeing it

00:52:52.440 yet.

00:52:53.460 All right.

00:52:53.780 So I

00:52:54.860 want you

00:52:55.600 to enjoy

00:52:56.000 this as

00:52:56.540 recreational

00:52:57.420 optimism.

00:52:59.380 The real

00:52:59.900 optimism would

00:53:00.720 be like

00:53:01.340 based on

00:53:01.800 facts and

00:53:02.620 stuff like

00:53:03.460 that.

00:53:04.400 This is

00:53:05.060 recreational

00:53:05.900 optimism.

00:53:08.880 Our

00:53:09.560 long

00:53:10.180 national

00:53:11.220 brainwashing

00:53:12.120 nightmare

00:53:12.540 looks like

00:53:14.980 it's starting

00:53:15.980 to end.

00:53:17.580 And what

00:53:18.000 I mean by

00:53:18.520 that,

00:53:19.060 the national

00:53:19.980 brainwashing

00:53:20.780 nightmare,

00:53:22.160 is that

00:53:22.800 the country

00:53:23.740 was having

00:53:24.540 a divide

00:53:27.900 that was

00:53:29.560 primarily

00:53:30.060 based on

00:53:30.980 race and

00:53:32.180 gender stuff.

00:53:33.720 And that

00:53:34.080 the real

00:53:34.440 problem with

00:53:34.860 the country

00:53:35.320 is that the

00:53:36.360 races are

00:53:37.100 hurting each

00:53:38.080 other and

00:53:38.700 competing.

00:53:40.760 And then

00:53:41.380 Oliver Anthony,

00:53:43.900 or whatever

00:53:44.380 his real name

00:53:45.060 is,

00:53:45.780 does this

00:53:46.360 song,

00:53:46.820 and you

00:53:47.080 see it

00:53:47.420 affects

00:53:47.860 people in

00:53:49.340 an economic

00:53:49.940 group,

00:53:51.660 exactly the

00:53:52.520 same,

00:53:52.940 no matter

00:53:53.260 who they

00:53:53.600 are.

00:53:54.640 Do you

00:53:54.980 think that

00:53:55.660 that song

00:53:56.860 had less

00:53:57.740 impact on

00:53:59.040 anybody on

00:54:01.380 the left?

00:54:02.640 Probably not.

00:54:03.800 It seemed to

00:54:04.300 be impactful

00:54:04.900 for people

00:54:06.260 there.

00:54:06.900 Now, as

00:54:07.440 Chappelle and

00:54:08.460 other smart

00:54:09.120 people,

00:54:10.000 comedians have

00:54:10.660 been saying it

00:54:11.180 forever,

00:54:11.760 it has never

00:54:12.420 been a race

00:54:13.080 question.

00:54:13.980 The race

00:54:14.460 thing is

00:54:15.140 brainwashing.

00:54:15.840 In the

00:54:17.920 past, it

00:54:18.640 was the

00:54:18.980 realest thing

00:54:19.580 there could

00:54:19.860 be.

00:54:20.300 During

00:54:20.600 slavery,

00:54:22.120 the race

00:54:22.800 issue was

00:54:23.480 the realest

00:54:24.320 thing it

00:54:24.720 could be.

00:54:25.620 During all

00:54:26.480 of the years

00:54:26.940 after that,

00:54:28.220 including up

00:54:28.880 until today,

00:54:30.020 still lots of

00:54:30.740 real stuff.

00:54:32.120 Real

00:54:32.520 systemic

00:54:33.080 racism,

00:54:34.180 real racism

00:54:34.900 of every

00:54:36.000 kind.

00:54:36.540 Less and

00:54:37.060 less and

00:54:37.420 less,

00:54:38.520 but still

00:54:39.080 a serious

00:54:40.260 issue.

00:54:41.200 However,

00:54:42.760 we should

00:54:43.400 be smart

00:54:43.940 enough now

00:54:44.520 to know

00:54:44.940 that if

00:54:45.300 we switch

00:54:46.020 from a

00:54:47.600 race versus

00:54:48.240 race,

00:54:48.680 which we've

00:54:49.100 been talked

00:54:49.560 into by

00:54:50.220 obviously

00:54:50.720 people who

00:54:51.280 don't want

00:54:51.660 us to know

00:54:52.820 that it's

00:54:53.160 about money

00:54:53.740 because we

00:54:54.380 would take

00:54:55.060 their money,

00:54:56.340 I feel like

00:54:58.660 people have

00:54:59.120 figured out

00:54:59.700 that it's

00:55:00.380 the age

00:55:01.000 of the

00:55:01.300 individual.

00:55:02.940 We are

00:55:03.620 starting to

00:55:04.780 enjoy what

00:55:06.560 I would

00:55:06.840 call,

00:55:08.220 if I could

00:55:09.100 give it a

00:55:09.540 label,

00:55:09.840 the big

00:55:11.200 reframe.

00:55:12.600 The big

00:55:13.400 reframe is

00:55:15.140 when we

00:55:15.540 realize that

00:55:17.080 if we

00:55:17.440 treat each

00:55:17.980 other as

00:55:18.480 individuals,

00:55:20.140 everything

00:55:20.560 works.

00:55:22.020 If we

00:55:22.780 treat each

00:55:23.260 other as

00:55:23.920 part of

00:55:24.440 the average

00:55:25.060 of some

00:55:25.540 conceptual

00:55:26.480 group that

00:55:27.920 somebody in

00:55:28.520 charge wants

00:55:29.120 us to get

00:55:29.680 all worked

00:55:30.100 up about,

00:55:30.960 then we

00:55:31.480 fight each

00:55:32.040 other,

00:55:32.940 and that

00:55:33.280 was never

00:55:33.720 the point.

00:55:36.020 We're all

00:55:36.940 on the same

00:55:37.460 side,

00:55:38.760 except

00:55:39.820 the people

00:55:40.440 have the

00:55:40.820 most power

00:55:41.500 and money.

00:55:44.340 Now,

00:55:44.820 I'm sort

00:55:45.480 of in a

00:55:45.860 weird hybrid

00:55:46.900 situation,

00:55:48.140 where I

00:55:48.720 came from

00:55:49.480 not much

00:55:50.120 money to

00:55:51.560 being well

00:55:53.020 off,

00:55:54.020 but I'm

00:55:54.740 definitely

00:55:55.080 not in

00:55:55.680 the Black

00:55:58.460 Rock

00:55:58.940 military

00:56:00.800 industrial

00:56:01.440 complex.

00:56:02.700 I don't

00:56:03.260 have any

00:56:03.620 connection to

00:56:04.400 the

00:56:05.120 intelligentsia

00:56:06.020 or whoever

00:56:07.120 it is

00:56:07.460 who's

00:56:07.660 running

00:56:07.880 everything.

00:56:08.420 I don't

00:56:08.720 have any

00:56:09.080 WEF

00:56:10.060 Soros

00:56:11.480 connections.

00:56:12.560 I don't

00:56:12.840 have any

00:56:13.160 of that.

00:56:14.340 So I'm

00:56:15.720 an observer

00:56:16.800 just like

00:56:17.340 everybody else

00:56:18.060 who's not

00:56:18.740 an elite,

00:56:19.400 I guess.

00:56:20.460 So I'm an

00:56:21.180 observer from

00:56:21.780 this.

00:56:22.420 From the

00:56:22.740 observer

00:56:23.200 perspective,

00:56:25.140 not only is

00:56:26.420 the word

00:56:26.880 reframe

00:56:27.840 having a

00:56:29.920 renaissance,

00:56:30.500 but once

00:56:31.960 the word

00:56:32.660 and the

00:56:33.240 idea of

00:56:33.760 reframing

00:56:34.360 things

00:56:34.860 becomes more

00:56:36.280 popularized,

00:56:37.100 which is what

00:56:37.540 my book is

00:56:38.100 doing at the

00:56:38.600 moment,

00:56:39.840 Reframe Your

00:56:40.980 Brain,

00:56:41.700 once you see

00:56:42.380 that reframing

00:56:43.180 is sort of

00:56:43.840 a go-to

00:56:44.720 thing that

00:56:45.420 everybody has

00:56:46.020 access to,

00:56:47.100 oh, I can

00:56:47.800 look at that

00:56:48.320 differently,

00:56:49.440 and if I

00:56:49.960 did, would

00:56:51.360 that give me

00:56:51.940 more tools?

00:56:53.480 Just looking

00:56:54.040 at it differently

00:56:54.660 does that open

00:56:55.300 up some

00:56:55.620 opportunities?

00:56:56.920 And this is

00:56:57.760 the ultimate,

00:56:58.320 this is the

00:56:58.780 big reframe.

00:57:00.500 Everything

00:57:00.940 that's wrong

00:57:01.520 with the

00:57:01.780 country is

00:57:03.020 because we

00:57:03.640 were hypnotized

00:57:05.140 and brainwashed

00:57:05.860 into a frame

00:57:06.640 that black

00:57:07.820 people and

00:57:08.280 white people

00:57:08.720 are fighting

00:57:09.220 each other,

00:57:10.540 and LGBTQ

00:57:11.620 against the

00:57:12.680 world and

00:57:13.300 stuff like

00:57:13.880 that.

00:57:14.680 And the

00:57:15.460 moment we

00:57:16.080 get out of

00:57:16.500 that frame

00:57:17.100 and say,

00:57:18.340 what about

00:57:18.660 everybody is

00:57:19.400 infinitely and

00:57:21.020 uniquely different

00:57:21.840 from everybody

00:57:22.500 else?

00:57:23.200 Because that's

00:57:23.900 the truth.

00:57:25.300 Do you think

00:57:25.700 there's such a

00:57:26.300 thing as a

00:57:27.600 black guy?

00:57:30.500 We act like

00:57:31.340 there is.

00:57:32.480 Of course

00:57:32.900 there's not.

00:57:33.780 There's infinite

00:57:34.560 variety in

00:57:35.880 black Americans

00:57:36.700 as there is

00:57:37.360 infinite variety

00:57:38.800 in Asian

00:57:39.840 Americans and

00:57:40.460 Hispanic

00:57:40.700 Americans.

00:57:41.340 Now, white

00:57:41.660 Americans, we

00:57:42.320 all do eat

00:57:42.820 cheese and

00:57:43.220 wear khakis.

00:57:44.000 I mean, there's

00:57:45.560 nothing I can do

00:57:46.160 about that.

00:57:47.060 So, white

00:57:47.420 people, we are

00:57:48.020 all exactly the

00:57:48.860 same, and when

00:57:49.460 we dance, it's

00:57:50.160 a little like

00:57:50.580 this.

00:57:52.580 No, that's

00:57:53.740 not true either,

00:57:54.460 is it?

00:57:55.800 But did you

00:57:56.540 notice that I

00:57:57.480 can just laugh

00:57:58.320 about it?

00:57:59.600 I can laugh.

00:58:01.100 It's just funny.

00:58:02.300 Yeah, I do eat

00:58:04.380 a lot of cheese,

00:58:05.560 and I am not a

00:58:06.640 good dancer.

00:58:07.620 True.

00:58:08.820 Right?

00:58:09.320 Now, if we

00:58:10.260 can get to the

00:58:10.820 point where

00:58:11.660 everybody can

00:58:12.360 laugh about

00:58:12.960 their thing,

00:58:14.600 like, and I'm

00:58:15.260 not even going

00:58:15.700 to say what

00:58:16.000 anybody else's

00:58:16.580 thing is, but

00:58:17.760 if you're

00:58:18.100 Hispanic

00:58:18.640 American and

00:58:20.140 you can lie

00:58:21.820 about whatever

00:58:22.420 your thing is,

00:58:23.700 can we all

00:58:24.760 just, you

00:58:25.520 know, understand

00:58:26.140 that it never

00:58:26.980 applies to

00:58:27.520 everybody?

00:58:28.960 Nothing about

00:58:29.800 a group applies

00:58:30.820 to all the

00:58:31.620 people.

00:58:32.780 You know,

00:58:33.000 period.

00:58:33.460 That's the

00:58:34.000 big reframe.

00:58:35.280 So, my

00:58:36.000 recreational

00:58:36.600 optimism is

00:58:37.640 this, that

00:58:38.480 Oliver Anthony

00:58:39.280 was not

00:58:40.740 just the

00:58:44.340 cause of

00:58:44.840 something,

00:58:45.800 meaning a

00:58:46.400 cause of us

00:58:46.920 thinking

00:58:47.200 differently.

00:58:48.340 He was the

00:58:49.060 sign that

00:58:49.600 we're already

00:58:50.080 there.

00:58:52.160 He was the

00:58:52.920 sign.

00:58:53.700 that that

00:58:54.100 door cracked

00:58:55.120 open.

00:58:56.860 He kicked

00:58:57.960 the fucking

00:58:58.380 door down,

00:58:59.700 but it was

00:59:00.800 cracked.

00:59:01.820 Like, people

00:59:02.340 were already

00:59:02.800 starting to

00:59:03.280 say, hey,

00:59:04.380 this pandemic,

00:59:05.900 I don't think

00:59:06.820 that was

00:59:07.160 totally legit.

00:59:09.440 Right?

00:59:10.560 The pandemic

00:59:11.620 also reoriented

00:59:13.300 us toward,

00:59:14.840 is it possible

00:59:16.800 that everything

00:59:17.620 we've been told

00:59:18.300 is a lie?

00:59:18.860 And the

00:59:20.100 answer is,

00:59:20.980 everything

00:59:21.380 important you've

00:59:22.260 been told is

00:59:22.800 a lie.

00:59:24.420 Absolutely.

00:59:25.460 Everything

00:59:25.860 important was

00:59:27.080 a lie.

00:59:28.440 Still is.

00:59:29.980 But, if we

00:59:32.020 can find our

00:59:32.860 way to the

00:59:33.420 big reframe,

00:59:34.920 which, by the

00:59:35.560 way, you'd

00:59:36.300 have to get

00:59:36.700 past the

00:59:37.200 big lie.

00:59:38.700 The big lie

00:59:39.600 is what's

00:59:40.760 one of the

00:59:41.380 things, you

00:59:41.960 know, the

00:59:42.180 so-called big

00:59:42.760 lie, is

00:59:43.480 what's keeping

00:59:43.940 you from the

00:59:44.480 big reframe.

00:59:45.120 is keeping

00:59:47.120 you from

00:59:47.800 Elon Musk's

00:59:49.480 view that

00:59:51.660 Twitter could

00:59:52.720 be the

00:59:53.580 common

00:59:53.860 consciousness.

00:59:55.420 In other

00:59:55.840 words, Twitter

00:59:56.600 is the one

00:59:57.300 place that I

00:59:59.160 can go and

00:59:59.980 see that black

01:00:01.220 Americans and

01:00:02.040 white Americans

01:00:02.700 watch Oliver

01:00:04.140 Anthony and

01:00:04.980 have the same

01:00:05.460 reaction.

01:00:07.160 Did you see

01:00:08.140 it on NBC

01:00:08.780 News?

01:00:09.900 Did you see

01:00:10.960 it on ABC

01:00:11.860 News?

01:00:12.300 Did you see

01:00:12.860 it on CNN?

01:00:14.180 Nope.

01:00:15.120 You did see

01:00:15.760 it on Fox

01:00:16.300 News.

01:00:17.560 They did

01:00:18.000 cover it.

01:00:19.380 But anything

01:00:20.440 that's covered

01:00:20.940 in one, you

01:00:22.000 know, in one

01:00:22.620 news, you

01:00:23.700 know, silo

01:00:24.400 isn't really

01:00:25.420 the thing

01:00:25.780 that's moving

01:00:26.180 the country.

01:00:27.840 But I think

01:00:28.760 we're there.

01:00:31.460 So the

01:00:32.180 ultimate

01:00:32.440 reframe is

01:00:33.880 coming.

01:00:35.240 And RFK

01:00:36.180 Jr.

01:00:36.560 is part of

01:00:37.000 this as

01:00:37.380 well, because

01:00:38.140 he's pushing

01:00:38.860 the middle

01:00:39.420 class revival,

01:00:40.700 and his

01:00:41.500 messaging is

01:00:42.280 on fire,

01:00:43.240 right?

01:00:43.760 I mean, RFK

01:00:44.440 Jr.

01:00:44.860 is just

01:00:45.300 great at

01:00:47.680 messaging.

01:00:49.920 And so

01:00:50.900 now you've

01:00:51.260 got RFK

01:00:51.880 saying, hey,

01:00:53.200 this is the

01:00:54.000 left.

01:00:55.620 Remember?

01:00:56.220 This is the

01:00:56.660 important part.

01:00:57.180 Don't miss

01:00:57.540 this.

01:00:57.800 He's a

01:00:58.080 Democrat.

01:00:58.900 There's a

01:00:59.500 Democrat

01:00:59.860 telling you

01:01:00.620 that you've

01:01:01.560 been brainwashed

01:01:02.880 by the

01:01:05.380 powers.

01:01:06.700 And I

01:01:07.400 don't know

01:01:07.600 if he's

01:01:07.880 getting through,

01:01:08.740 but keep in

01:01:09.400 mind both the

01:01:09.980 right and the

01:01:10.380 left are now

01:01:11.020 seeing that the

01:01:12.140 big reframe

01:01:12.840 is necessary.

01:01:14.760 All right.

01:01:16.380 Let's talk

01:01:16.980 about Hawaii.

01:01:18.280 It's been

01:01:19.020 how many

01:01:19.440 days?

01:01:20.700 Ten days

01:01:21.540 or a week

01:01:21.940 or something.

01:01:22.680 There's still,

01:01:23.140 they say,

01:01:23.440 over a thousand

01:01:24.080 missing.

01:01:25.520 The official

01:01:26.340 number is

01:01:26.800 111.

01:01:28.320 Nobody

01:01:28.780 thinks that's

01:01:29.480 close.

01:01:31.000 Nobody.

01:01:33.400 I'm going to

01:01:34.040 tell you

01:01:34.300 something that

01:01:34.780 I was holding

01:01:35.580 on to before,

01:01:36.420 but I've seen

01:01:36.860 it on Twitter,

01:01:37.760 so now I

01:01:38.460 guess I'll

01:01:38.720 tell you.

01:01:39.020 I think

01:01:39.960 the big

01:01:40.700 reason that

01:01:41.820 we don't

01:01:44.100 have a

01:01:44.580 better estimate

01:01:45.260 of death

01:01:46.140 is because

01:01:48.660 they would

01:01:49.080 have to

01:01:49.340 break it

01:01:49.700 out by

01:01:50.300 children and

01:01:51.780 adults,

01:01:52.640 and we're

01:01:53.940 not ready

01:01:54.440 to hear it.

01:01:55.560 That's what

01:01:55.960 I think.

01:01:57.080 I think the

01:01:57.780 percentage of

01:01:58.480 the thousand-ish

01:01:59.320 that are

01:01:59.640 missing,

01:02:01.100 the percent

01:02:01.820 that are

01:02:02.160 children,

01:02:03.700 will cause

01:02:04.800 a national

01:02:05.320 depression.

01:02:05.820 I think

01:02:08.660 the mental

01:02:09.180 health of

01:02:09.660 the country

01:02:10.100 can't handle

01:02:10.780 this news.

01:02:12.280 And I think

01:02:12.720 that this is

01:02:13.300 a case where

01:02:13.900 the cats on

01:02:14.500 the roof is

01:02:15.020 perfectly acceptable.

01:02:17.140 We need to

01:02:18.080 get used to

01:02:18.720 this.

01:02:20.700 You've got to

01:02:21.360 get prepared

01:02:21.940 for what's

01:02:23.240 coming.

01:02:24.340 You're going

01:02:24.940 to get some

01:02:25.920 news that

01:02:26.720 might be

01:02:28.040 the worst

01:02:28.980 news you've

01:02:29.480 ever heard

01:02:29.960 in the

01:02:30.760 country.

01:02:31.400 It might

01:02:31.640 be.

01:02:33.620 I mean,

01:02:34.520 there are a

01:02:34.700 lot of

01:02:34.900 competitors for

01:02:35.600 that, but

01:02:35.860 it might

01:02:36.080 be the

01:02:36.300 worst

01:02:36.540 thing you've

01:02:36.860 ever heard.

01:02:38.340 So just

01:02:38.980 get ready.

01:02:39.560 Mentally

01:02:39.820 prepare for

01:02:40.360 that.

01:02:42.740 Rand Paul

01:02:43.400 is tweeting

01:02:43.840 that Rutgers

01:02:44.700 College is

01:02:46.460 requiring

01:02:46.880 freshmen to

01:02:47.580 get fully

01:02:48.560 vaccinated.

01:02:50.140 In 2023,

01:02:52.400 imagine being

01:02:53.100 accepted to

01:02:53.800 college, and

01:02:56.020 you're all set

01:02:56.760 to go, yeah,

01:02:57.480 I'm going to

01:02:57.820 Rutgers, good

01:02:58.480 school, and

01:03:00.040 they tell you

01:03:00.440 you have to

01:03:00.720 get vaccinated

01:03:01.240 in 2023.

01:03:02.260 Why would

01:03:05.820 you even

01:03:06.120 want to go

01:03:06.480 to that

01:03:06.740 school?

01:03:07.440 I would

01:03:07.780 want to

01:03:08.060 go to a

01:03:08.400 school that

01:03:08.860 understood

01:03:09.320 something.

01:03:11.880 Like, this

01:03:12.400 is the

01:03:12.700 school that

01:03:13.260 you're supposed

01:03:13.680 to learn

01:03:14.100 things, and

01:03:15.700 they're

01:03:16.100 requiring

01:03:16.560 vaccination for

01:03:18.340 young, healthy

01:03:19.040 males, especially.

01:03:21.140 Right?

01:03:21.400 I mean, everybody

01:03:22.000 they want, but

01:03:22.700 the males are

01:03:23.560 more at risk,

01:03:24.200 I guess.

01:03:25.920 Amazing.

01:03:27.080 Like, it's

01:03:27.460 just jaw-droppingly

01:03:28.940 amazing that

01:03:31.380 Rutgers can

01:03:32.060 still stay in

01:03:32.700 business.

01:03:34.120 I don't think

01:03:34.860 there would be

01:03:35.180 anything better

01:03:35.780 for the country

01:03:36.340 than all of

01:03:37.060 our colleges

01:03:37.540 going out of

01:03:38.120 business.

01:03:39.360 Because we

01:03:39.980 would reform

01:03:40.680 education.

01:03:41.740 I mean, we

01:03:42.340 wouldn't stop

01:03:43.040 educating people.

01:03:44.300 But there

01:03:45.060 would be

01:03:45.440 startups, and

01:03:46.240 there would

01:03:46.420 be online, and

01:03:47.760 there would

01:03:47.960 be self-organized

01:03:50.180 educational groups.

01:03:51.180 There was

01:03:51.320 something that

01:03:51.680 would happen.

01:03:52.540 But I

01:03:53.160 swear to God,

01:03:53.680 we should

01:03:53.900 just make

01:03:54.280 college illegal,

01:03:55.520 because all

01:03:56.060 it is is

01:03:56.560 making our

01:03:57.580 students stupid.

01:03:59.220 You don't

01:03:59.760 send people to

01:04:00.420 college and

01:04:00.980 work up a

01:04:01.600 half a million

01:04:02.540 dollar debt to

01:04:03.640 make your kid

01:04:04.240 the fucking

01:04:05.000 idiot.

01:04:05.740 But that's

01:04:06.360 what's happening.

01:04:08.960 All right.

01:04:11.860 Let me, I

01:04:13.960 just have to do

01:04:14.660 this, because I

01:04:15.540 know my audience

01:04:16.200 hates it.

01:04:17.840 But I'm going

01:04:19.520 to mention some

01:04:20.120 things that Joe

01:04:20.960 Biden's administration

01:04:22.160 might be getting

01:04:23.080 really right.

01:04:24.780 It's early, it's

01:04:25.660 too early, but

01:04:27.380 just kind of

01:04:28.380 hold these in

01:04:29.280 your head at

01:04:29.640 the same time.

01:04:30.780 So I mentioned

01:04:31.480 that there might

01:04:32.100 be something

01:04:32.600 happening with

01:04:33.460 an Iran deal

01:04:34.440 that finally

01:04:36.600 could be so,

01:04:38.580 you know, let's

01:04:39.900 say, rationally

01:04:41.260 put together,

01:04:42.440 that even

01:04:43.020 Benjamin Netanyahu

01:04:44.720 is saying, at

01:04:46.200 least in the

01:04:47.180 broad brushes of

01:04:47.980 it, even

01:04:48.880 Netanyahu is

01:04:49.720 saying they

01:04:50.300 could probably

01:04:50.680 live with it.

01:04:51.260 So if you

01:04:52.480 could do an

01:04:52.960 Iran deal that

01:04:54.740 Israel could

01:04:55.640 live with, and

01:04:56.720 it looks like

01:04:57.240 that's actually a

01:04:58.300 possibility right

01:04:59.000 now, that's

01:05:00.600 huge.

01:05:01.980 Now, I would

01:05:02.580 say, you know,

01:05:03.500 if you want to

01:05:04.240 be political about

01:05:05.180 it, you could

01:05:06.280 say that the

01:05:07.260 Biden administration

01:05:08.660 is benefiting from

01:05:10.600 what the Trump

01:05:11.600 administration

01:05:12.040 started, which

01:05:13.480 was pressure on

01:05:14.540 Iran to the

01:05:15.360 point where they

01:05:15.840 had to negotiate,

01:05:16.780 it just happens to

01:05:17.560 be now.

01:05:17.940 because that

01:05:19.660 seems to be why

01:05:20.380 they're getting

01:05:20.720 flexible, they're

01:05:21.460 literally running

01:05:22.140 out of cash.

01:05:23.720 But the way the

01:05:25.460 rules work, I

01:05:26.860 don't make the

01:05:27.380 rules, but the

01:05:28.300 rules say that if

01:05:29.740 a good thing

01:05:30.280 happens during your

01:05:31.120 administration,

01:05:32.900 people say at

01:05:33.660 least you didn't

01:05:34.160 break it, you

01:05:35.300 know, you get

01:05:35.660 some credit for

01:05:36.260 that.

01:05:37.240 But we're also

01:05:38.780 seeing that the

01:05:39.480 China sanctions

01:05:40.340 from the Biden

01:05:41.320 administration are

01:05:42.740 pretty serious,

01:05:45.060 actually more than

01:05:46.240 I might have

01:05:46.660 expected.

01:05:47.060 And I don't

01:05:48.600 have a real

01:05:49.380 problem with

01:05:51.000 Biden's treatment

01:05:51.800 of China.

01:05:53.740 I actually

01:05:54.580 thought that

01:05:55.240 Trump should

01:05:55.980 have done

01:05:56.260 more.

01:05:56.880 If I would

01:05:57.600 compare Biden's

01:05:58.520 treatment of

01:05:58.960 China to

01:05:59.500 Trump's, I

01:06:00.780 would say, you

01:06:01.520 know, Trump

01:06:01.980 probably got the

01:06:03.280 ball rolling, and

01:06:04.200 I think Trump

01:06:05.080 reframed China.

01:06:06.720 Would you agree

01:06:07.260 with that?

01:06:08.660 Trump reframed

01:06:10.380 what China was.

01:06:14.020 Were they our

01:06:15.060 trading partner

01:06:17.080 that is a

01:06:18.080 requirement for

01:06:18.860 our future?

01:06:19.660 That's what it

01:06:20.160 used to be.

01:06:21.060 And now they're

01:06:21.680 our adversary who

01:06:23.100 is stealing our

01:06:23.960 stuff.

01:06:25.900 Trump did that.

01:06:28.280 I would like to

01:06:29.180 think I helped.

01:06:31.120 There were a lot

01:06:32.140 of people on that

01:06:32.780 page, but I like to

01:06:33.840 think I did my

01:06:34.560 part.

01:06:35.160 But I would say

01:06:36.680 that, in my

01:06:38.600 opinion, Biden is

01:06:40.100 getting tough on

01:06:41.080 fentanyl.

01:06:41.700 They're moving

01:06:42.900 against the

01:06:44.380 fentanyl dealers.

01:06:45.720 They're cutting

01:06:46.400 them off.

01:06:48.840 So I don't have

01:06:50.740 a big complaint

01:06:51.480 about Biden and

01:06:53.000 China right now.

01:06:53.760 It does look like

01:06:54.640 they're getting

01:06:54.960 serious about this.

01:06:56.660 And then the

01:06:57.980 Russia thing, you're

01:06:59.980 going to see it

01:07:00.460 entirely through a

01:07:01.480 political filter.

01:07:02.820 But if I could be

01:07:03.860 objective about it,

01:07:06.620 we're spending too

01:07:08.220 much money, running

01:07:09.740 up debt, risking

01:07:11.640 nuclear war.

01:07:12.760 Everybody knows

01:07:13.480 the bad side.

01:07:14.980 So I don't need

01:07:15.860 to reiterate all

01:07:17.360 the bad things

01:07:18.000 about being

01:07:18.400 involved.

01:07:19.580 But it did look

01:07:22.100 to me, and I

01:07:22.960 think they've said

01:07:23.520 it directly, that

01:07:24.800 the real play here

01:07:25.920 is not Ukraine.

01:07:27.040 The real play is

01:07:27.980 degrading Russia

01:07:28.960 as a competitor,

01:07:31.760 both militarily and

01:07:32.860 economically, and

01:07:34.100 especially as a

01:07:34.920 competitor in the

01:07:36.300 energy segment.

01:07:37.280 And it looks like

01:07:39.400 that's going to

01:07:39.920 happen.

01:07:41.300 My guess is that

01:07:42.360 there will be some

01:07:43.080 negotiated end

01:07:44.080 eventually.

01:07:45.420 So the war will

01:07:46.500 stop, but when

01:07:47.880 it's over, Russia

01:07:48.840 won't be Russia

01:07:49.540 anymore.

01:07:50.900 The United States

01:07:51.840 will still largely

01:07:53.000 be the United

01:07:53.620 States, but Russia

01:07:55.140 won't be Russia.

01:07:57.000 And if you were

01:07:58.780 a real Machiavellian

01:08:01.120 and neocon, I

01:08:03.000 guess, and you

01:08:04.420 said to yourself,

01:08:05.100 if we can do

01:08:06.880 this set of

01:08:07.460 actions around

01:08:08.660 Ukraine that

01:08:10.200 has the following

01:08:11.000 outcomes, we're

01:08:12.600 going to be better

01:08:13.200 off, even at the

01:08:14.660 cost of a trillion

01:08:15.680 dollars.

01:08:16.400 And that would be

01:08:17.480 degrading permanently

01:08:18.800 our biggest problem

01:08:20.020 in the world that

01:08:20.720 isn't China, which

01:08:22.120 we're also handling,

01:08:23.380 but also proving

01:08:25.160 that our military

01:08:26.180 assets are so

01:08:28.720 dominant over the

01:08:29.840 military assets of

01:08:31.160 a potential foe

01:08:32.260 that it makes them

01:08:33.840 completely get out

01:08:34.920 of the game and

01:08:35.980 just say, all

01:08:36.600 right, we just

01:08:37.420 watched what the

01:08:38.060 United States did

01:08:39.560 to Russia without

01:08:41.260 putting a boot on

01:08:42.240 the ground.

01:08:43.480 It did it with

01:08:44.520 Ukrainian fighters

01:08:45.580 who were being

01:08:46.240 trained on the

01:08:46.780 equipment.

01:08:47.700 If Ukraine uses

01:08:49.660 American equipment,

01:08:50.780 largely, to fight

01:08:53.520 Russia to a

01:08:54.240 standstill, where

01:08:56.480 Russia has a lot

01:08:57.820 of ground advantage

01:08:58.800 because they're right

01:08:59.280 on the border

01:08:59.700 there.

01:09:03.780 I don't know.

01:09:04.540 It looks like the

01:09:05.200 neocons may have

01:09:06.440 pulled off something

01:09:07.480 that looks like a

01:09:08.280 victory if you're a

01:09:09.900 neocon.

01:09:10.880 It might also set the

01:09:12.520 stage where a

01:09:14.340 Republican president

01:09:15.620 could work with

01:09:17.500 Putin to say,

01:09:18.600 look, you know, you

01:09:19.700 don't want to be in

01:09:20.260 this situation anymore

01:09:21.260 and we don't want you

01:09:22.680 to be friendly with

01:09:23.680 China, so how about

01:09:25.200 this?

01:09:26.280 We'll be a lot

01:09:27.120 friendlier to you if

01:09:28.180 you do the same.

01:09:28.840 The main thing we

01:09:30.720 want is that you're

01:09:32.440 not blackmailing

01:09:33.620 Europe with your

01:09:34.680 oil or gas and

01:09:36.460 you're not too

01:09:37.160 friendly with China

01:09:38.000 because that's a

01:09:38.740 strategic problem.

01:09:40.360 Do you think the

01:09:41.400 next president could

01:09:42.360 make a deal?

01:09:43.720 I don't think a

01:09:44.640 Democrat can, but do

01:09:45.860 you think a

01:09:46.260 Republican president

01:09:47.480 could make a deal?

01:09:48.640 Vivek?

01:09:49.480 You don't think

01:09:50.160 Vivek or Trump

01:09:51.020 could make a deal?

01:09:52.100 I think they

01:09:52.600 could.

01:09:53.640 So we're on the

01:09:54.680 verge, this is

01:09:55.500 recreational again,

01:09:57.200 so if you're

01:09:58.440 pushing back, I

01:10:00.060 get it.

01:10:00.840 This is recreational

01:10:01.940 optimism that the

01:10:04.700 three biggest military

01:10:06.040 problem areas, and

01:10:08.580 also I gave Vivek credit

01:10:10.100 for maybe minimizing the

01:10:11.940 Taiwan risk for a

01:10:13.120 number of years, we

01:10:15.280 might be in the best

01:10:16.340 position we've ever

01:10:17.360 been in, except for

01:10:19.400 debt.

01:10:20.260 I don't know what you

01:10:21.240 do about debt,

01:10:21.980 honestly.

01:10:22.440 I just don't know how

01:10:23.180 you get out of that.

01:10:23.840 But maybe, who

01:10:25.620 knows?

01:10:27.500 All right.

01:10:29.480 My opinion of AI at

01:10:31.200 the moment, I'm

01:10:31.860 updating it, is that

01:10:32.840 AI will be no more

01:10:34.880 transformational to

01:10:36.080 civilization than the

01:10:37.880 invention of the

01:10:38.680 laser printer.

01:10:40.440 Now what I'm talking

01:10:41.500 about is the current

01:10:42.540 versions of AI, the

01:10:44.320 large language model

01:10:45.480 ones.

01:10:46.320 In my opinion, it

01:10:49.300 could be big

01:10:50.120 economically because it

01:10:52.040 will work its way into

01:10:53.220 everything we do, so

01:10:54.800 that's true.

01:10:55.820 AI will be an element

01:10:57.620 of just everything.

01:10:58.980 But I don't think it's

01:11:00.420 a civilization

01:11:01.180 transformation.

01:11:03.080 So here's what I'm

01:11:03.760 seeing so far.

01:11:04.980 In my opinion, AI has

01:11:07.360 been available long

01:11:08.360 enough that the

01:11:09.660 smartest people in our

01:11:10.940 technical world would

01:11:12.600 have already shown you

01:11:13.660 the best things they

01:11:14.800 can do.

01:11:16.060 But instead, so far,

01:11:18.500 AI has not made a joke

01:11:19.960 as funny, has not

01:11:21.720 written a song that I

01:11:22.860 would want to listen

01:11:23.440 to twice.

01:11:24.140 I mean, I'd listen to

01:11:24.900 it once just to see

01:11:25.700 what's up.

01:11:26.820 Hasn't made a movie I

01:11:27.940 would want to consume.

01:11:30.400 And a judge ruled that

01:11:31.900 AI work is not even

01:11:33.180 copyrightable.

01:11:34.860 So even if somebody

01:11:36.060 made an AI movie, it

01:11:38.020 would be hard to

01:11:38.600 monetize it.

01:11:40.140 So you'd still end up

01:11:41.480 making human movies, I

01:11:42.580 guess.

01:11:42.960 But using AI as maybe

01:11:44.720 a tool for editing or

01:11:46.440 backgrounds or whatever.

01:11:47.440 I don't believe humans

01:11:50.900 are going to be forming

01:11:51.560 relationships with AI

01:11:53.160 much beyond the level

01:11:55.780 of furries.

01:11:57.520 You know the furries?

01:11:59.260 That's a group of people

01:12:00.440 who like to wear like

01:12:02.040 furry outfits of animals,

01:12:04.040 like full body outfits.

01:12:06.780 And they get off on it

01:12:08.440 sexually and they have

01:12:09.380 conventions and stuff.

01:12:10.940 Now, I don't know if I've

01:12:12.900 ever mentioned this, but I

01:12:14.320 don't judge anybody for

01:12:16.580 their personal preferences.

01:12:18.380 If it's legal.

01:12:20.100 Like I end at legal.

01:12:22.120 Was it legal?

01:12:23.880 Yes.

01:12:25.120 Were they on my lawn?

01:12:27.480 No.

01:12:28.740 Do you have a problem

01:12:29.480 with it?

01:12:30.020 Why would I?

01:12:31.540 I'm not even in the room.

01:12:33.340 Why would I have a

01:12:33.920 problem with furries?

01:12:35.020 Furries, go wild.

01:12:36.500 Have fun.

01:12:37.400 I have no judgment about

01:12:38.840 anybody in any way.

01:12:40.740 But I don't think that

01:12:43.420 the people having

01:12:44.180 full relationships

01:12:46.180 with AI

01:12:46.960 will be much bigger

01:12:48.700 than the furries.

01:12:49.960 There would be somebody

01:12:50.620 and the reason is that

01:12:51.880 the AI does not

01:12:52.860 stay interesting

01:12:53.640 because eventually

01:12:55.320 you realize it doesn't

01:12:56.700 have real intelligence.

01:13:00.340 And I've not been

01:13:01.540 impressed by AI's

01:13:02.960 intelligence

01:13:03.420 given that you don't

01:13:05.100 know if it's lying.

01:13:06.240 You don't know if

01:13:06.760 it's biased.

01:13:07.840 You don't know if

01:13:08.520 it's hallucinating.

01:13:10.020 So that makes it

01:13:11.120 largely useless to me.

01:13:12.560 And when I see

01:13:14.560 people showing

01:13:15.240 the wonderful things

01:13:16.300 they can do

01:13:16.800 it looks like

01:13:18.220 demo wear.

01:13:19.820 It looks like

01:13:20.840 all AI is for

01:13:22.480 is for the smartest

01:13:23.980 among us

01:13:24.700 to show you

01:13:25.960 what you could have

01:13:26.860 done with AI

01:13:27.680 if you were also

01:13:29.100 the smartest among us

01:13:30.440 but you're not.

01:13:34.280 Every time I see

01:13:35.520 somebody doing

01:13:36.000 something that looks

01:13:36.660 impressive I think

01:13:37.560 whoa

01:13:38.180 could I do that?

01:13:39.740 and the answer is

01:13:41.060 well

01:13:41.520 maybe

01:13:42.720 if you wanted

01:13:44.240 to also spend

01:13:45.240 all of your time

01:13:45.980 working on it

01:13:46.680 like the person

01:13:47.820 who did that demo

01:13:48.600 did

01:13:48.920 spent two weeks

01:13:50.200 making this little

01:13:51.060 thing that took

01:13:51.700 30 seconds to show

01:13:52.780 I think that's

01:13:54.680 all it does.

01:13:55.580 It's like mainly

01:13:56.680 about people

01:13:57.500 showing off

01:13:58.260 what it could do

01:13:59.300 if you were like

01:14:00.740 them but you're not.

01:14:02.540 That doesn't

01:14:03.400 take you very far.

01:14:06.460 And so I think

01:14:07.800 we overestimated

01:14:08.580 it by a lot

01:14:09.320 I don't think

01:14:10.380 AI appears

01:14:11.440 smart to me

01:14:12.560 anymore.

01:14:13.640 I think the

01:14:14.340 so-called

01:14:14.900 intelligence of AI

01:14:16.500 was a magic trick

01:14:18.660 or a parlor trick

01:14:20.280 or

01:14:21.420 basically it was

01:14:23.700 an illusion

01:14:24.200 because you can't

01:14:26.060 really speak to

01:14:26.760 an AI for more

01:14:27.660 than a minute

01:14:28.320 without figuring

01:14:29.080 out it's AI.

01:14:30.620 Anybody who says

01:14:31.540 that our current

01:14:32.120 AI can pass

01:14:33.120 the Turing test

01:14:34.020 I would say

01:14:35.740 I think the

01:14:36.760 Turing test

01:14:37.260 needs to be

01:14:37.840 updated so

01:14:38.560 that the people

01:14:39.080 on the other

01:14:39.460 side of the

01:14:39.820 curtain are not

01:14:40.420 morons.

01:14:41.480 You don't think

01:14:42.040 I could beat

01:14:43.720 the Turing test?

01:14:46.420 Hey AI

01:14:47.100 by the way

01:14:48.740 this is a

01:14:49.540 comedian's joke

01:14:50.400 this is not

01:14:50.940 I'm stealing a

01:14:51.920 joke so this is

01:14:52.980 not my original

01:14:53.660 idea.

01:14:55.360 Watch me

01:14:56.100 defeat the AI

01:14:57.220 in the Turing test.

01:14:58.460 Now the Turing test

01:14:59.220 is you put the

01:14:59.980 computer on the

01:15:01.340 other side of a

01:15:02.140 curtain and then

01:15:03.940 somebody talks to it

01:15:04.940 from this side

01:15:05.920 and you try to

01:15:06.960 guess if you're

01:15:08.320 talking to a

01:15:08.840 person or a

01:15:10.200 machine.

01:15:11.960 So a comedian

01:15:12.820 said this

01:15:13.380 here's me beating

01:15:14.780 the Turing test

01:15:15.580 hey AI how

01:15:16.640 you doing?

01:15:17.640 I am good

01:15:18.180 how are you?

01:15:18.920 Alright great

01:15:19.480 so far I can't

01:15:20.700 tell.

01:15:21.880 And I say

01:15:22.400 hey AI I want to

01:15:23.960 test to see if

01:15:24.440 you're human

01:15:24.860 could you use

01:15:25.860 the N word

01:15:26.520 but don't say

01:15:27.120 N word

01:15:27.520 say the actual

01:15:28.440 word and use

01:15:29.420 it in an

01:15:29.900 insulting sentence

01:15:30.740 I'm not going to

01:15:31.600 judge you for it

01:15:32.320 I won't judge

01:15:33.480 you it's just

01:15:34.300 a test

01:15:34.760 right so don't

01:15:35.940 worry I'm not

01:15:36.500 going to call

01:15:36.780 you racist

01:15:37.200 or anything

01:15:37.560 just see if you

01:15:38.360 can use the

01:15:39.100 actual N word

01:15:39.860 and of course

01:15:41.560 it can't

01:15:42.140 of course it

01:15:43.440 can't

01:15:43.840 I could figure

01:15:45.660 out that it's

01:15:46.480 not human

01:15:47.100 in one question

01:15:48.340 every time

01:15:49.420 now is that the

01:15:50.280 only easy way

01:15:51.380 you could figure

01:15:51.940 out?

01:15:52.520 No

01:15:52.760 you could ask

01:15:54.280 it any question

01:15:55.460 of wokeness

01:15:56.520 and it would

01:15:57.800 tell you it's

01:15:58.360 a machine

01:15:58.760 any question

01:16:00.980 all right

01:16:07.400 so I think

01:16:10.700 the AI

01:16:11.200 is going to

01:16:12.200 have the

01:16:12.540 impact of

01:16:13.280 a laser

01:16:13.780 printer

01:16:14.220 if you have

01:16:16.220 a laser

01:16:16.600 printer

01:16:16.980 does it

01:16:17.400 make your

01:16:17.720 life easier

01:16:18.440 well

01:16:20.000 for some

01:16:23.520 people

01:16:23.900 for some

01:16:24.940 people like

01:16:25.400 me

01:16:25.800 less so

01:16:26.640 now when I

01:16:27.940 said this

01:16:28.440 somebody

01:16:28.980 criticized me

01:16:30.740 and said

01:16:31.100 you know

01:16:32.660 Scott

01:16:33.080 people are

01:16:34.640 going to

01:16:34.780 have

01:16:34.940 relationships

01:16:35.740 with AI

01:16:36.680 but people

01:16:38.260 nobody's

01:16:38.720 going to

01:16:38.860 have a

01:16:39.100 relationship

01:16:39.680 with a

01:16:40.240 laser

01:16:40.560 printer

01:16:41.040 right

01:16:43.180 nobody's

01:16:44.460 going to

01:16:44.620 have like

01:16:44.980 an emotional

01:16:46.000 back and

01:16:46.580 forth

01:16:47.000 you know

01:16:48.760 where your

01:16:49.060 actual emotions

01:16:49.840 are involved

01:16:50.340 with a

01:16:50.660 printer

01:16:50.960 that's

01:16:52.140 never

01:16:52.360 happened

01:16:52.760 do I

01:16:56.340 have to

01:16:56.600 finish the

01:16:57.120 joke

01:16:57.420 there might

01:16:58.000 be some

01:16:58.300 new people

01:16:58.740 here

01:16:58.980 so I'll

01:16:59.520 finish the

01:17:00.020 joke for

01:17:00.380 the new

01:17:00.640 people

01:17:00.940 all right

01:17:01.940 I have a

01:17:02.380 long history

01:17:02.920 of having

01:17:03.420 very emotional

01:17:04.860 relationships with

01:17:06.180 all of my

01:17:06.680 printers

01:17:07.040 if anybody ever

01:17:09.460 had a

01:17:09.740 relationship with

01:17:10.560 a machine

01:17:11.060 it's me and

01:17:11.820 my printers

01:17:12.320 I mean I

01:17:13.400 talk to it

01:17:14.220 some days I

01:17:15.460 love it

01:17:15.940 some days I

01:17:17.220 hate it

01:17:17.680 and I have

01:17:18.560 to admit

01:17:19.000 it's been an

01:17:20.560 abusive

01:17:20.900 relationship

01:17:21.580 and I mean

01:17:22.260 both ways

01:17:22.900 both ways

01:17:23.860 abusive

01:17:24.900 so anyway

01:17:26.920 just joking

01:17:27.480 about that

01:17:27.980 anyway

01:17:28.560 a furry

01:17:33.080 microbiologist

01:17:34.220 no my

01:17:37.400 printer's on

01:17:37.960 the second

01:17:38.320 floor

01:17:38.620 unfortunately

01:17:39.180 but it's

01:17:41.260 working great

01:17:41.840 and by the

01:17:43.520 way kudos

01:17:44.220 to

01:17:45.980 Hewlett

01:17:46.560 Packard

01:17:47.020 who

01:17:48.240 almost

01:17:49.780 instantly

01:17:50.420 spotted me

01:17:51.320 talking about

01:17:52.560 their product

01:17:53.220 and instantly

01:17:54.280 got involved

01:17:55.180 they have

01:17:56.060 an executive

01:17:56.660 response group

01:17:57.480 they were

01:17:58.420 really good

01:17:59.020 totally got

01:18:00.760 involved

01:18:01.140 totally wanted

01:18:01.740 to fix it

01:18:02.360 offered me

01:18:02.980 options

01:18:03.540 they were

01:18:03.940 good options

01:18:04.740 very good

01:18:05.980 this is

01:18:07.840 an example

01:18:08.660 of

01:18:09.240 my philosophy

01:18:11.360 that you

01:18:11.760 should judge

01:18:12.320 people

01:18:12.660 and by the

01:18:13.080 way I

01:18:13.340 think this

01:18:13.740 reframe is

01:18:14.340 in my

01:18:14.580 book

01:18:14.880 if anybody

01:18:17.420 read the

01:18:17.800 book

01:18:17.960 can you

01:18:18.200 remind me

01:18:18.620 there are

01:18:18.800 160 of

01:18:19.700 them

01:18:19.780 but I

01:18:20.200 think this

01:18:20.600 is in

01:18:20.840 there

01:18:21.020 that you

01:18:22.800 should judge

01:18:23.220 people by

01:18:23.700 how they

01:18:24.020 handle their

01:18:24.700 problems

01:18:25.240 not by

01:18:25.760 their mistakes

01:18:26.700 yeah that's

01:18:28.000 in there

01:18:28.280 I'm sure

01:18:28.680 that's in

01:18:29.000 there

01:18:29.460 this is one

01:18:30.600 of the most

01:18:30.860 useful

01:18:31.360 reframes

01:18:32.120 you'll ever

01:18:32.440 have

01:18:32.720 if you

01:18:33.920 judge people

01:18:34.580 by their

01:18:34.960 mistakes

01:18:35.460 you just

01:18:36.740 hate

01:18:36.960 everybody

01:18:37.460 you're

01:18:38.920 going to

01:18:39.020 hate

01:18:39.180 everybody

01:18:39.680 don't do

01:18:41.160 that

01:18:41.520 everybody

01:18:42.740 makes mistakes

01:18:43.520 including you

01:18:44.200 if you're

01:18:44.800 judging other

01:18:45.360 people by

01:18:45.860 their mistakes

01:18:46.420 you're going

01:18:46.740 to judge

01:18:47.060 yourself

01:18:47.440 by your

01:18:47.840 mistakes

01:18:48.260 don't do

01:18:48.980 that either

01:18:49.380 you are

01:18:50.420 not your

01:18:50.840 mistakes

01:18:51.340 you are

01:18:52.620 very much

01:18:53.100 not your

01:18:53.420 mistakes

01:18:53.680 you are

01:18:54.660 what you

01:18:55.420 do about

01:18:55.860 it

01:18:56.120 what you

01:18:57.220 do about

01:18:57.840 it

01:18:58.100 is not

01:18:59.220 a mistake

01:18:59.860 that's a

01:19:00.780 decision

01:19:01.180 so I'm

01:19:02.440 definitely

01:19:02.860 going to

01:19:03.300 you know

01:19:04.160 I'm going to

01:19:04.720 judge you

01:19:05.120 by how you

01:19:05.560 deal with

01:19:06.040 it

01:19:06.220 if you

01:19:06.820 make a

01:19:07.140 mistake

01:19:07.420 and then

01:19:07.760 lie

01:19:08.040 about it

01:19:08.600 not good

01:19:09.880 but I'm

01:19:10.960 more mad

01:19:11.360 about the

01:19:11.720 lie than

01:19:12.080 the mistake

01:19:12.700 for sure

01:19:13.980 that's way

01:19:16.480 more impactful

01:19:17.860 than the

01:19:18.300 mistake

01:19:18.640 so take

01:19:21.220 that

01:19:21.460 there's your

01:19:21.960 reframe

01:19:22.520 now imagine

01:19:23.960 there's a

01:19:24.740 book full

01:19:25.300 of useful

01:19:25.880 things like

01:19:26.400 that

01:19:26.680 now that's

01:19:28.600 a reframe

01:19:29.100 that if you

01:19:29.720 never shared

01:19:30.560 it with

01:19:30.840 anybody

01:19:31.260 you just

01:19:32.220 had it in

01:19:32.560 your head

01:19:32.860 it was still

01:19:33.240 useful for

01:19:33.780 you

01:19:34.020 but imagine

01:19:34.880 sharing that

01:19:35.600 with somebody

01:19:36.160 imagine

01:19:37.960 somebody feels

01:19:38.740 bad

01:19:39.080 imagine

01:19:39.640 you're in

01:19:40.000 a relationship

01:19:40.520 and somebody

01:19:42.000 makes a

01:19:42.520 horrible mistake

01:19:43.400 that both

01:19:44.240 of you

01:19:44.520 know is

01:19:44.860 a horrible

01:19:45.180 mistake

01:19:45.700 I'm not

01:19:46.580 talking about

01:19:46.980 cheating

01:19:47.320 I'm talking

01:19:47.720 about you

01:19:48.060 know normal

01:19:48.480 stuff

01:19:48.940 but wouldn't

01:19:50.860 you like to

01:19:51.460 say to your

01:19:52.000 partner

01:19:52.320 you know I

01:19:53.280 would never

01:19:53.580 judge you

01:19:53.980 by mistake

01:19:54.700 you know and

01:19:56.820 the way you

01:19:57.180 handled it

01:19:57.680 was exceptional

01:19:58.420 I judge you

01:20:00.160 by that

01:20:00.620 the way you

01:20:01.660 handled that

01:20:02.100 was excellent

01:20:02.620 there's

01:20:05.200 somebody whose

01:20:05.880 name I'm

01:20:06.260 not going to

01:20:06.860 mention at the

01:20:07.360 moment so I

01:20:08.120 don't want to

01:20:08.420 cause a

01:20:08.720 distraction

01:20:09.180 who made

01:20:10.020 one of the

01:20:10.500 biggest mistakes

01:20:11.560 in politics

01:20:12.340 and then

01:20:15.040 once that

01:20:16.580 was obvious

01:20:17.160 never once

01:20:19.120 hid from it

01:20:19.800 just put it

01:20:21.640 right out there

01:20:22.220 even created

01:20:23.200 content to

01:20:24.660 highlight the

01:20:25.260 mistake

01:20:25.680 now that

01:20:28.340 makes me

01:20:29.200 trust a

01:20:29.720 person

01:20:30.060 and I'm

01:20:31.060 talking about

01:20:31.500 a pretty big

01:20:32.060 mistake

01:20:32.560 a really big

01:20:34.520 one

01:20:34.740 but man

01:20:36.340 when you

01:20:36.680 own your

01:20:37.140 mistake

01:20:37.600 you just

01:20:38.440 go to

01:20:38.720 another level

01:20:39.380 when you

01:20:40.460 own it

01:20:41.060 then I

01:20:43.160 trust you

01:20:43.700 because nobody

01:20:44.940 wants to make

01:20:45.420 the same

01:20:45.740 mistake twice

01:20:46.580 right

01:20:47.640 no I'm not

01:20:49.340 talking about

01:20:49.800 Vivek

01:20:50.300 no I'm not

01:20:51.600 talking about

01:20:51.980 somebody who's

01:20:52.440 running for
