Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2206 Scott Adams： All The News That's Fit To Sip. Bring Coffee

00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:02.000 Do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:05.160 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:10.840 Let's take it up a notch, shall we?

00:00:13.300 You ready? Buckle up.

00:00:15.320 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:21.580 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:23.480 I like coffee.

00:00:25.140 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day.

00:00:28.720 The thing makes everything better.

00:00:31.340 It's called a simultaneous sip.

00:00:34.060 Go.

00:00:38.180 Oh, I hope you were prepared.

00:00:42.040 If you were still brewing, shame on you.

00:00:45.180 It was time to sip.

00:00:47.160 Next time, a little more punctuality.

00:00:50.300 Okay?

00:00:51.520 Well, there's a big old storm coming to California.

00:00:56.180 It's Category 1.

00:00:58.720 Oh, Category 1.

00:01:02.780 Can you wake me up when it's a 3?

00:01:05.620 But apparently it's moving the other direction, so.

00:01:08.560 There might actually be some damage.

00:01:10.640 I believe some people are evacuating because of rain.

00:01:13.840 But it doesn't look like it could be the worst it could be.

00:01:18.260 So we'll probably just get some water.

00:01:21.660 That's what I think.

00:01:24.140 How many of you would like to see me give a radio interview at 4.20 p.m. Pacific time tonight?

00:01:31.780 Say yes.

00:01:34.740 Say yes.

00:01:35.920 Yes.

00:01:36.460 Well, many of you are just begging for it.

00:01:38.080 Yes.

00:01:39.780 Okay.

00:01:40.340 Okay.

00:01:40.660 I'll do it.

00:01:41.400 I'll do it.

00:01:42.740 All right?

00:01:43.280 I said I'd do it.

00:01:44.300 I said I'd do it.

00:01:45.240 I'll do it.

00:01:46.160 I promise I will.

00:01:47.220 Well, so tonight, 4.20 p.m. Pacific time, that would be 7.20 p.m. Eastern time.

00:01:52.760 I'll be with Joel Pollack on Breitbart Radio.

00:01:56.760 And if you're saying to yourself, how do I listen to that?

00:01:59.540 Just Google it.

00:02:01.000 Breitbart Radio, Joel Pollack.

00:02:02.700 Or you can look at my tweet.

00:02:05.460 I retweeted it this morning.

00:02:07.340 You'll find us.

00:02:08.740 Anyway, you might know that I have not been doing too many interviews.

00:02:14.680 But in conjunction with my book, Reframe Your Brain, which is available so far only on Kindle

00:02:20.360 because Amazon has unspecified, possibly technical problems that are preventing the publication

00:02:28.100 of my physical book.

00:02:29.940 The book's done.

00:02:30.820 It's ready to go.

00:02:31.500 Now, but in the independent publishing, let's say, pipeline, there seems to be some kind

00:02:39.180 of a delay for my property.

00:02:41.960 It's an unspecific, technical, hard to explain.

00:02:45.140 We just don't know what's going on.

00:02:46.560 It's going to take us a little while to look into a kind of a problem.

00:02:50.020 That's the kind of problem.

00:02:51.580 Now, if you're saying to yourself, Scott, this is clearly some kind of messing around

00:02:58.260 with you, probably not.

00:03:00.680 Probably not.

00:03:01.500 It's probably just the way everything works.

00:03:05.620 Let me put this in context.

00:03:07.240 Pretty much every step of the independent publishing hits some kind of a problem.

00:03:16.040 Like there's a password that doesn't work.

00:03:18.660 There's just something you can't do.

00:03:21.540 And every one of the processes, you have to kind of crawl through it and correct and adjust.

00:03:28.300 You know, you're basically, you're just adjusting as you go.

00:03:32.640 It's all about adjusting as you go.

00:03:34.280 So, in the context of nothing working, just sort of a general, the most likely explanation

00:03:42.600 is they're busy or there's some technical problem.

00:03:46.580 Because I've heard a lot of other people have had issues that don't sound like they're political.

00:03:51.300 Now, let me give you an example of how bad, I'm going to call this the national incompetence problem.

00:03:58.260 How many of you would agree that there appears to be a national incompetence problem to do anything?

00:04:06.060 Just most basic services.

00:04:07.760 Let me give you an idea of how bad it is, all right?

00:04:11.400 This is how bad it is.

00:04:13.180 I did something really stupid this week.

00:04:16.440 I want you to, could you do me a favor and mock me for my stupidity over this?

00:04:20.860 Just listen to how bad this is.

00:04:22.840 I had to take my car in for service.

00:04:26.460 And I knew that, you know, there might be some real issues.

00:04:29.980 You know, it's driving kind of funny.

00:04:31.460 So, I don't know exactly what the problem is.

00:04:33.500 But, you know, it could be one of those expensive ones.

00:04:35.400 Here's how stupid I am.

00:04:38.300 And please mock me.

00:04:39.600 Get ready.

00:04:40.240 Get ready.

00:04:41.240 I took my car in to the dealer for service.

00:04:44.540 I'm so ashamed.

00:04:46.520 On a Thursday.

00:04:50.480 Go ahead.

00:04:52.180 Go ahead.

00:04:54.120 I know.

00:04:54.860 I know.

00:04:55.800 No, I deserve it.

00:04:57.160 I deserve it.

00:04:58.160 I took my car in for service on a Thursday.

00:05:01.540 It's the dumbest thing anybody ever did.

00:05:03.500 Do you think I got my car back before the weekend?

00:05:06.680 Of course not.

00:05:08.660 Of course not.

00:05:09.700 So, there's an extra two days.

00:05:11.380 But that's not even my point.

00:05:13.400 The dealer, I don't have a problem with the dealer.

00:05:16.340 So, in this story, the dealer is, you know, it's just stuff that takes more than a day.

00:05:21.280 So, there's nothing wrong with the dealer.

00:05:23.700 I brought it in on a Thursday when I knew I wouldn't have it for the weekend unless I rented a car.

00:05:29.800 Now, you're probably going to ask yourself, let's see if you know the answer to this.

00:05:34.540 Why did I not rent a car?

00:05:36.800 And why will I instead spend four to five days trapped in my house?

00:05:41.560 I mean, I can Uber if I want to.

00:05:43.700 But why did I not rent a car?

00:05:45.920 Go ahead.

00:05:46.560 You tell me.

00:05:47.700 It's not because of money.

00:05:49.040 No.

00:05:49.420 Why did I not get one?

00:05:51.860 Not insurance?

00:05:52.940 No.

00:05:55.040 Yep.

00:05:55.520 Somebody got it.

00:05:56.220 Under today's current situation, I could not imagine, literally I can't imagine it,

00:06:04.680 renting a car without trouble.

00:06:08.220 I couldn't even imagine it.

00:06:10.260 I imagined that I would go in there and they'd say, we don't have the car that you reserved.

00:06:16.220 I thought at the very least it would turn into a Seinfeld episode.

00:06:20.220 I know what Uber is.

00:06:21.400 You don't have to say Uber every comment.

00:06:23.580 Can we stipulate I've heard of Uber?

00:06:28.060 Everybody?

00:06:29.200 You can stop yelling Uber at me.

00:06:31.400 I've heard of it.

00:06:32.260 It's like a car service where you can take places, you can go places, right?

00:06:35.920 Okay, I got it.

00:06:37.460 Okay, you don't have to yell Turo at me.

00:06:40.000 I got it.

00:06:43.620 I don't think I'm getting through.

00:06:46.760 I don't seem to be getting through.

00:06:48.780 Lyft.

00:06:49.820 Now you're just being funny.

00:06:51.120 Apparently I'm not getting through with this point.

00:06:54.200 No.

00:06:55.060 The simple act of renting a car, if this were five years ago, you know what I would have done?

00:07:02.200 I would have just rented a car.

00:07:04.160 I would have rented a car and I wouldn't have worried that it wouldn't work.

00:07:07.020 I actually worry that if I allocate my half a day or whatever to, you know, going in and picking up a car, that it just won't work.

00:07:16.840 You know, like I won't be able to rent it, my credit card will be declined, you know, I'll be on some do not rent list.

00:07:24.460 Some damn thing.

00:07:25.420 I just don't think there's enough competence left in the system that it ever makes sense to take on a new thing, if you can avoid it.

00:07:34.520 Like, if your other possibility is just to stay home and be unhappy, just stay home and be unhappy.

00:07:41.780 Sometimes.

00:07:43.220 All right.

00:07:43.800 Don't follow my advice about anything.

00:07:46.400 All right.

00:07:46.900 Let's talk about my other favorite topic.

00:07:50.920 You know, I've been saying for years that the future is building cities from scratch.

00:07:57.220 NPCs, you may yell 15-minute cities now.

00:07:59.760 Go.

00:08:01.100 Yell 15-minute cities.

00:08:02.520 No!

00:08:03.200 No!

00:08:03.800 15-minute cities!

00:08:04.860 No!

00:08:05.080 Oh! 0.60

00:08:05.400 Okay, this has nothing to do with 15-minute cities.

00:08:10.160 But you need to yell it, so please do.

00:08:12.840 Go ahead.

00:08:14.100 W-E-F. 0.99

00:08:15.840 Go ahead.

00:08:17.460 And also, you need to yell tiny homes.

00:08:20.540 Tiny homes.

00:08:21.300 So this has nothing to do with tiny homes.

00:08:23.700 But you need to yell it.

00:08:25.040 I know you do.

00:08:25.740 Tiny homes.

00:08:26.420 Tiny homes.

00:08:27.080 Go ahead.

00:08:27.400 In the comments.

00:08:29.080 I've been here before.

00:08:30.120 Anyway, there's a city built from scratch in Cayaya.

00:08:36.280 That's the pronunciation that's probably exactly right on, I think.

00:08:42.140 Cayaya in Guatemala.

00:08:45.340 Now, what's interesting about it is they actually set out to build a city from scratch.

00:08:50.200 But what's interesting is they built it like sort of in the architecture of more traditional,

00:08:56.160 older-looking stuff, but, you know, with the modern twists.

00:08:58.940 And I saw some video of it.

00:09:00.860 It looks amazing.

00:09:02.120 It looks amazing.

00:09:03.160 And it is.

00:09:04.300 The streets are pedestrians, not cars.

00:09:08.200 I don't know that that makes it a 15-minute city, but if you need to yell about how you're

00:09:12.700 unhappy that the cities could be convenient, go ahead and do it.

00:09:17.240 So this is one example that apparently people are happy with, and it came out really well.

00:09:23.740 But that's the future.

00:09:25.580 The future is cities from scratch.

00:09:27.940 And there's almost no way around it, because it'll be the biggest industry that everybody

00:09:33.120 agrees we need, and people will want to live there.

00:09:37.680 And there will be lots of different ones.

00:09:40.400 Will some of these cities be 15-minute cities that Klaus Schwab will take all your freedom

00:09:45.580 and your security and your privacy?

00:09:48.260 Maybe.

00:09:49.440 But others will be something else.

00:09:50.760 All right.

00:09:52.700 This Hunter-Biden plea deal, we're finding out more about it.

00:09:56.220 Politico is trying to spin it as late payments that nobody goes to jail for being late on their

00:10:01.660 taxes.

00:10:02.400 You just work out a payment plan, and it would be very unusual to go to jail just because

00:10:07.440 you were late on your taxes.

00:10:08.640 So that's what it was, right?

00:10:11.440 That was the problem?

00:10:13.020 It was the problem that Hunter was just late on his taxes, but now he's paid.

00:10:18.600 Now he's paid it.

00:10:20.200 Yeah.

00:10:20.800 You know, I was once late on my taxes, too.

00:10:24.880 So, I mean, same kind of crime.

00:10:27.520 Now, in my case, I did not set up a series of international shell companies to hide the

00:10:35.100 fact that I was late.

00:10:37.100 I didn't do that.

00:10:37.820 I just, I think I forgot or something.

00:10:40.180 I may have forgotten to pay an estimated payment once.

00:10:43.800 And I just paid my penalty and paid my money, and I didn't go to jail.

00:10:48.100 But, you know, I also didn't have a series of shell companies to run it through so it would

00:10:54.780 be hidden from everybody.

00:10:55.800 So, there's that.

00:11:00.180 There, of course, is some pushback.

00:11:02.960 So, lawyers never agree on anything.

00:11:05.260 Some people saying, oh, it's not that big a deal.

00:11:08.800 Nobody would have gone to jail for the specific things that Hunter did.

00:11:12.860 Others say, this is not late.

00:11:16.180 This is hiding money from the IRS about the most illegal thing you could possibly do.

00:11:22.220 Well, you know, potato, potato.

00:11:25.800 But there is evidence that the investigation only went forward because of the whistleblowers.

00:11:33.920 So, pretty much everything you thought about everything is true.

00:11:38.700 On the Hunter Biden story, everything you suspected seems to be true.

00:11:44.240 It's a pretty interesting model.

00:11:47.120 Because sometimes you see stories where, like Ukraine.

00:11:49.480 If you watch the Ukraine story, you're like, eh, I don't know, that might be true, but no way to know.

00:11:56.160 You know, maybe, probably not.

00:11:58.740 But you see the Hunter story, and now there's a pattern that's developed that no matter how much doubt there is about the story,

00:12:06.300 turns out it's true.

00:12:07.060 There's nothing you can say about them, because they just all turn out to be true.

00:12:13.160 All right, I would like to challenge that.

00:12:15.720 See if I'm wrong.

00:12:16.480 Do a fact check on me.

00:12:18.600 Name something that Hunter Biden has been accused of, or Joe Biden in relation to Hunter Biden.

00:12:25.840 Name something that has not been demonstrated to be true, beyond any real doubt.

00:12:30.720 Can you name anything he was accused of that has not...

00:12:35.300 Now, the paintings as a way to launder influence, I wouldn't say it's proven.

00:12:43.240 It's not proven, proven.

00:12:45.660 It's just obvious.

00:12:47.620 You don't need to prove anything about the paintings.

00:12:50.020 That's exactly what it looks like on the surface.

00:12:55.200 All right.

00:12:55.760 Yeah, it's pretty consistent.

00:12:57.440 Listen, if Hunter is accused of it, apparently that's usually going to turn out to be true.

00:13:03.360 Although he's innocent until proven guilty, in terms of the law, like everybody else.

00:13:09.920 Well, Wall Street Journal, again, is hammering on how China's economy is going to the toilet.

00:13:15.620 Their 40-year boom is over.

00:13:19.780 They have plenty of empty buildings.

00:13:22.120 So China's big problem is empty buildings.

00:13:24.300 And over here, we've got a lot of homeless, but they're not homeless because they don't have homes.

00:13:31.480 They're homeless by choice, for the most part, probably 90%.

00:13:35.700 What do you think about China's, let's say, their chances for the future?

00:13:45.440 There are at least two things, three things, that the United States has going for it that our adversaries or, let's say, competitors can't match.

00:13:59.240 Number one, we have the option, which we have not used, of filtering our immigration better.

00:14:07.200 In other words, we could avoid the demographic crash by becoming the only country that people are fighting to get into,

00:14:15.120 and we're taking the ones with the best potential to be good citizens.

00:14:20.000 Usually, education would be the top thing.

00:14:23.000 Do they have a skill?

00:14:24.700 Now, do you think China could ever match us in immigration of sucking up the best people from every country? 1.00

00:14:32.580 No.

00:14:33.060 Now, do you think Russia could ever match us in what we could do with immigration? 0.98

00:14:38.560 No.

00:14:39.260 Now, here's the weirdest take you're ever going to hear on immigration.

00:14:44.000 Our complete failure to guard our border is, in the short term, which might be several years, terrible.

00:14:54.940 Would you agree?

00:14:55.620 That on net, there are benefits of immigration.

00:15:00.380 Even illegal immigration has benefits. 0.87

00:15:02.460 You know, people get jobs, etc.

00:15:04.580 But would you agree that so far, like the last few years, it's more of a net negative because it's just out of control?

00:15:12.420 But watch this.

00:15:14.020 If you were in another country, and you knew that all of the other countries seem to be badasses about immigration,

00:15:21.180 and you knew that the United States was willing to hurt itself to accept you.

00:15:29.740 The United States was willing to hurt itself fairly massively to accept immigration.

00:15:36.660 Now, you can say, oh, it's politics, it's incompetence, it's this, it's Kamala's not doing the job, that's all it is. 0.90

00:15:45.960 But I'm just saying, how would it be received by the rest of the world?

00:15:49.540 So imagine you're in India, you grew up in India, you just went through the ITT system,

00:15:57.600 you're one of the top technical young people in the world,

00:16:01.440 because you just went through a system that produces them,

00:16:04.260 and you're saying to yourself, where do I go?

00:16:07.940 Do you go to China?

00:16:10.560 Let's say China said you're welcome.

00:16:12.700 And let's say they put together an immigration attraction thing to get technical people.

00:16:17.620 Would you say that I will be welcomed with open arms in China?

00:16:22.300 No, you wouldn't feel that way.

00:16:23.800 How about Russia?

00:16:25.260 Even if they said they would welcome you, would you feel like that's the place you want to go?

00:16:31.040 Maybe not so much.

00:16:32.960 Now, imagine that you had been listening to the news about America,

00:16:36.500 and you found that we had these sanctuary cities,

00:16:38.740 and that even though we fought about, you know, what is the right level of immigration,

00:16:44.320 the net effect was that we were the most accidentally,

00:16:49.060 accidentally, one of the most welcoming countries for immigration.

00:16:54.240 And we remain, I would say, the melting pot example for the world,

00:17:00.140 even with all of our problems.

00:17:01.520 We have somewhat accidentally created a situation from the Statue of Liberty

00:17:07.800 all the way through sanctuary cities

00:17:10.240 that America is a place that has built into its DNA

00:17:13.940 a belief that immigration is central to our existence

00:17:19.740 and our, let's say, our experience.

00:17:23.760 Which is not to say let everybody in all the time, right?

00:17:26.740 We're not talking about the way we're doing it.

00:17:28.680 I'm talking about what would somebody in another country feel about the United States

00:17:33.100 when deciding where to bring their high levels of skills

00:17:36.420 to employ it for the rest of their lives.

00:17:39.400 I don't think anybody can match us.

00:17:42.440 I think we'll be maybe in better shape than Europe.

00:17:45.440 They got a little bit overrun, so Europe's got their own problems.

00:17:49.860 But in the United States, we still have a recoverable situation.

00:17:54.220 I don't know that they do in France or Great Britain.

00:17:57.240 It might not be recoverable.

00:17:59.220 But in the United States, it is.

00:18:02.000 And I think that if we got, let's say, a Republican president,

00:18:06.880 say, Vivek, just to pick one,

00:18:09.360 and he said immigration is good,

00:18:11.440 you've just got to make sure you're getting the right people,

00:18:14.000 clamp down the border, put in some real processes

00:18:16.380 to bring in the best of the best,

00:18:18.580 who competes with that?

00:18:19.980 So under that scenario, China and Russia are not going to have access to high tech,

00:18:25.840 at least not directly.

00:18:27.400 So we'll have the better tech, better microchips,

00:18:30.640 which means that we'll have AI in a functional form much better than any other country,

00:18:36.180 which means that we'll be able to attract the best immigrants that are really additive.

00:18:42.580 There's no way you can compete with that.

00:18:45.860 And the most important thing is that we won't have a demographic collapse

00:18:49.600 because we'd be bringing in people as replacements.

00:18:53.340 We would probably have to eliminate the cartels as just part of the plan,

00:18:58.980 but Vivek will do that.

00:19:00.900 Vivek is talking about slamming their cartels,

00:19:04.440 having real immigration to attract the right people,

00:19:07.440 all the right stuff.

00:19:09.360 So there's something shaping up here

00:19:12.060 that would make America the only superpower

00:19:15.680 and would be really the jewel in the world,

00:19:20.760 more so than it ever has been, if it ever has been.

00:19:23.980 But, well, there's a story in the New York Post about the so-called squad,

00:19:28.540 you know, AOC's group of politicians,

00:19:31.500 that they're big old hypocrites

00:19:33.440 because AOC and the squad

00:19:36.060 spent $1.2 million in campaign cash on private security

00:19:40.520 despite calls to defund the police.

00:19:45.180 Now, you're expecting that I'm going to agree with the New York Post

00:19:48.680 and say, hypocrisy,

00:19:50.760 hypocrisy, right?

00:19:54.080 Or if you know me better,

00:19:55.960 you know that I'm going to say this is an analogy.

00:19:59.280 The New York Post is making an analogy

00:20:01.360 between police and private security.

00:20:06.380 Is that fair?

00:20:08.080 No.

00:20:09.580 Did AOC call for ending private security for public figures?

00:20:14.920 No.

00:20:15.480 No.

00:20:16.080 She did not call for ending private security for public figures.

00:20:20.440 Now, she did call for something that's, you know, as dumb as that,

00:20:24.180 but not, at least is not inconsistent.

00:20:26.280 So, yes, she certainly wanted her own safety,

00:20:32.440 but don't pretend that public figures have the same security concerns as average citizens.

00:20:37.880 Average citizens could have worse problems, depending where they live,

00:20:41.180 or no problems at all if they live where I live.

00:20:43.800 But AOC has real security problems,

00:20:48.820 and she has a right to have security,

00:20:52.200 and I don't want anything to happen to her.

00:20:54.800 So, yes, I'm 100% in favor of her doing what she needs to do to protect herself.

00:21:00.060 I don't think that's up for debate.

00:21:02.580 Now, separately,

00:21:03.480 do you want your police to be defunded?

00:21:06.840 Well, nobody has a better alternative to that.

00:21:10.540 But you don't really need to bring the private security in there.

00:21:13.200 I realize it's like a political,

00:21:15.220 oh, I gotcha.

00:21:17.700 But don't we have plenty of things to do gotcha with a squad?

00:21:21.540 Do you need this one?

00:21:23.060 I mean, this one just seems like

00:21:24.320 just so small ball politics.

00:21:28.340 But I get it.

00:21:29.240 It works.

00:21:29.760 So I try to avoid the hypocrisy lines, you know.

00:21:35.800 It's the easiest thing to do.

00:21:37.600 Oh, they said this, but they did this.

00:21:39.760 That's never an interesting story.

00:21:42.160 It's just a political spin,

00:21:43.920 and you've seen it once, and you're like, ah.

00:21:46.620 All right.

00:21:48.400 I forgot about this,

00:21:49.820 but the attorney general for Montana, I think it was,

00:21:53.780 Austin Knudsen,

00:21:56.380 actually pushed through

00:21:57.700 and made into law a ban on TikTok in the state.

00:22:02.520 And I'm not talking about a ban for state workers,

00:22:06.560 which you've seen in other places,

00:22:08.460 government workers,

00:22:09.440 but a ban, you just couldn't have it in the state.

00:22:12.320 Now, I don't know how it's,

00:22:14.000 I suppose the app stores could adjust

00:22:17.520 for the state somehow.

00:22:19.580 So maybe that's practical to do.

00:22:21.280 But I love the fact that he did it

00:22:25.380 and he got away with it.

00:22:27.160 So I just want to say his name so you've heard it.

00:22:29.660 People say he's, you know,

00:22:31.280 angling for higher office somewhere.

00:22:33.440 If he is, good for him,

00:22:35.400 because you did something useful.

00:22:37.280 All right.

00:22:37.440 I'll say his name again.

00:22:39.040 Attorney General Austin Knudsen.

00:22:42.000 So if you hear this voice,

00:22:43.260 if you hear that name in the future,

00:22:45.240 just remember he did one good thing.

00:22:47.340 I don't know what else he did,

00:22:48.280 but he did this one good thing.

00:22:51.080 And do you think that the news

00:22:52.700 is covering this correctly?

00:22:55.100 No, no.

00:22:56.400 The news will still say stuff like,

00:22:58.920 but TikTok said they would put their private data

00:23:01.740 in some American-managed company.

00:23:05.480 That's not really the problem.

00:23:07.600 It's the brainwashing.

00:23:09.900 It's not just the privacy.

00:23:12.100 And every time you see the news

00:23:13.520 focus on the privacy part,

00:23:15.400 you know that that's propaganda.

00:23:17.140 Or they just don't know the news themselves.

00:23:20.260 You know, but it could mean

00:23:21.600 that the people that are telling the news

00:23:22.920 know the news better

00:23:23.980 than the people who are telling it.

00:23:26.020 That's sometimes the case.

00:23:28.540 All right.

00:23:31.000 I saw one report.

00:23:33.160 I don't know if this is true,

00:23:34.760 but that Newsom is dispatching

00:23:36.980 the National Guard

00:23:37.860 to tackle the drug situation

00:23:40.480 in San Francisco.

00:23:42.420 Can anybody confirm that?

00:23:43.880 that Newsom is sending

00:23:47.620 or will send

00:23:48.720 the National Guard

00:23:49.660 for San Francisco?

00:23:53.180 Because I don't think so.

00:23:56.440 But maybe.

00:23:58.300 Maybe.

00:23:59.180 But let's say,

00:24:00.040 if it is true,

00:24:01.000 and I would put a big question mark

00:24:02.520 on that,

00:24:03.040 it feels a little,

00:24:04.240 I don't know,

00:24:05.540 I feel like it would be

00:24:06.460 bigger news or something.

00:24:08.320 But I only saw it in one outlet.

00:24:09.580 I don't know if that.

00:24:10.640 So,

00:24:12.920 this would be,

00:24:13.580 if it's true,

00:24:14.800 and that's a real big if

00:24:15.860 in this story,

00:24:17.300 I would say that

00:24:18.420 it's another example

00:24:20.400 that you have to become Trump

00:24:22.380 to run against him.

00:24:25.500 You have to become Trump

00:24:27.240 to run against him.

00:24:28.600 That's a problem.

00:24:30.160 You basically have to adopt

00:24:31.840 his policies

00:24:32.560 after saying

00:24:33.260 they were bad policies forever.

00:24:35.500 Because once you're

00:24:36.320 in the national stage,

00:24:37.420 you just look ridiculous.

00:24:39.580 Yeah,

00:24:40.060 it's just more obvious

00:24:40.960 that Trump was right

00:24:42.220 about some stuff.

00:24:43.140 Immigration,

00:24:43.740 for example.

00:24:46.940 All right.

00:24:49.220 Alex Jones says

00:24:50.320 he has some source

00:24:51.220 from TSA

00:24:52.220 that says masks

00:24:53.180 are coming back

00:24:54.080 as a requirement.

00:24:59.680 Now,

00:25:01.160 next story.

00:25:06.480 If you argue about this,

00:25:08.300 you're in the wrong fight.

00:25:11.260 It's just no.

00:25:14.040 Now we're done.

00:25:16.040 We're moving to the next story.

00:25:17.500 It's just no.

00:25:19.320 No.

00:25:21.020 Not no maybe,

00:25:22.160 not no for a little while,

00:25:24.220 not a little bit yes,

00:25:25.740 just no.

00:25:27.860 No.

00:25:29.660 All right.

00:25:30.120 Did I mention

00:25:34.620 that my book

00:25:35.180 reframe your brain

00:25:36.140 is number one

00:25:36.940 in the happiness

00:25:38.000 category

00:25:38.780 on Amazon?

00:25:41.040 So number one book

00:25:42.080 to give you happiness,

00:25:43.320 and it probably is.

00:25:44.420 Number one book

00:25:45.220 in hypnosis,

00:25:46.340 even though it's reframes,

00:25:48.260 I present them

00:25:49.180 in the context of

00:25:50.220 as a professional hypnotist,

00:25:52.620 you know,

00:25:52.860 telling you what works

00:25:53.660 about them.

00:25:54.160 So it's not,

00:25:54.680 it isn't teaching you

00:25:55.480 hypnosis per se,

00:25:56.380 except in the specific form

00:25:58.220 of putting reframes

00:26:00.000 into your own brain

00:26:01.380 and other people's.

00:26:03.120 And it's number one

00:26:04.100 in personal transformation,

00:26:05.620 in other words,

00:26:06.340 personal growth

00:26:07.080 or success.

00:26:08.440 So it's number one

00:26:09.260 in all three categories

00:26:10.460 that are the ones

00:26:13.320 that matter.

00:26:14.600 Now,

00:26:15.180 don't get too excited.

00:26:16.840 Being number one

00:26:17.640 in your category

00:26:18.800 doesn't mean

00:26:19.380 you're number one

00:26:20.240 in the world,

00:26:21.080 but it's also

00:26:22.260 not even available

00:26:23.200 except in Kindle.

00:26:24.420 So this is the kind

00:26:26.800 of book where

00:26:27.440 I would expect

00:26:28.060 a lot of people

00:26:28.760 are going to wait

00:26:29.240 for the soft cover,

00:26:30.760 which could drop

00:26:31.480 any minute.

00:26:34.740 But it's because

00:26:35.620 you're going to want it

00:26:36.200 as a reference.

00:26:37.280 It's sort of a book

00:26:38.080 that you're going to read it

00:26:39.160 and then go back to it

00:26:40.420 a bunch of times,

00:26:41.120 like, oh,

00:26:41.500 what was that?

00:26:42.080 What was that reframe

00:26:43.000 I remember?

00:26:45.080 So lives are already

00:26:46.360 being changed.

00:26:49.380 The reviews are crazy,

00:26:51.920 which is so good.

00:26:53.560 People are finding

00:26:54.360 their entire lives

00:26:55.280 just reprogrammed,

00:26:59.040 you know,

00:26:59.200 just with a few reframes.

00:27:01.680 So I know that

00:27:02.780 these claims

00:27:03.980 seem wildly unlikely,

00:27:06.980 but you have to

00:27:07.680 read the reviews yourself.

00:27:09.340 It was written

00:27:09.820 to have that impact,

00:27:11.260 and people are saying

00:27:12.100 it has that impact.

00:27:14.540 All right,

00:27:14.980 RFK Jr.

00:27:16.740 had some

00:27:17.360 pretty provocative

00:27:18.800 things to say

00:27:19.500 about remdesivir

00:27:20.520 and about Tony Fauci.

00:27:22.100 So this is,

00:27:24.100 RFK Jr.

00:27:24.860 says,

00:27:25.160 Tony Fauci knew

00:27:25.900 that remdesivir

00:27:26.700 would kill you.

00:27:28.240 Now,

00:27:28.780 what do I say

00:27:29.760 about people knew?

00:27:33.220 There's a little bit

00:27:34.020 of mind reading,

00:27:34.940 right?

00:27:35.500 A little bit

00:27:36.200 of mind reading,

00:27:36.800 but if he can

00:27:38.560 back it up

00:27:39.220 with, say,

00:27:39.680 a document

00:27:40.260 or some other

00:27:42.640 evidence,

00:27:43.320 then I'm going

00:27:44.500 to listen to it.

00:27:45.200 So I don't know

00:27:45.900 if he has

00:27:46.340 other evidence,

00:27:47.860 but I'm always

00:27:48.740 uncomfortable,

00:27:49.720 and you should be too,

00:27:51.400 whenever you hear

00:27:52.200 somebody say

00:27:52.960 somebody else

00:27:53.620 knew something.

00:27:55.340 Often it's true,

00:27:56.280 but it gets

00:27:58.360 into that

00:27:58.760 mind reading

00:27:59.340 category

00:27:59.860 that you need

00:28:01.220 to ask more

00:28:01.760 questions

00:28:02.260 when somebody

00:28:02.760 says that.

00:28:03.880 So I'm not

00:28:04.520 comfortable

00:28:04.920 just knowing

00:28:05.840 that RFK Jr.

00:28:07.840 says Tony Fauci

00:28:08.860 knew something.

00:28:11.280 Now,

00:28:11.880 he may be right,

00:28:13.120 and I would say

00:28:13.600 he has a high

00:28:14.380 likelihood of being

00:28:15.160 right,

00:28:16.040 but I need

00:28:17.260 a little more

00:28:17.660 than that.

00:28:18.320 I'm not going

00:28:18.740 to go just

00:28:19.500 with somebody

00:28:20.200 thinks somebody

00:28:20.860 knew something.

00:28:22.000 That's a little

00:28:23.600 weak.

00:28:25.140 But RFK Jr.,

00:28:26.260 I find quite

00:28:27.260 credible in

00:28:28.220 doing his

00:28:28.760 homework and

00:28:29.380 research,

00:28:30.320 and he certainly

00:28:30.900 knows this topic

00:28:31.820 inside out.

00:28:33.260 So maybe he

00:28:34.340 does know.

00:28:35.580 Maybe RFK Jr.

00:28:37.720 does know what

00:28:38.460 Tony Fauci knows

00:28:39.480 about this

00:28:40.200 specific thing.

00:28:41.400 I wouldn't

00:28:41.780 rule it out,

00:28:42.980 but it just

00:28:43.800 makes me

00:28:44.300 uncomfortable

00:28:44.680 when I see

00:28:45.220 the mind

00:28:45.900 reading-ish

00:28:46.600 stuff.

00:28:49.760 And the

00:28:50.500 idea is that

00:28:52.380 remdesivir has

00:28:53.200 some side effects

00:28:54.280 that would

00:28:55.980 affect things

00:28:56.540 like kidneys

00:28:57.340 and heart,

00:28:59.020 et cetera,

00:28:59.940 and that

00:29:00.740 people having

00:29:01.660 kidney problems,

00:29:03.940 it would be a

00:29:05.040 weird virus that

00:29:06.200 killed you with

00:29:06.860 your kidneys.

00:29:08.180 But remdesivir,

00:29:09.540 according to

00:29:10.040 RFK Jr.,

00:29:10.980 might have a

00:29:12.000 side effect that

00:29:12.940 would be sort

00:29:13.960 of right on the

00:29:14.580 nose for that

00:29:16.580 side effect.

00:29:17.260 effect.

00:29:18.660 So how bad

00:29:21.320 is it?

00:29:22.700 Now, isn't

00:29:23.420 there also a

00:29:24.280 rumor, maybe

00:29:25.120 it's confirmed,

00:29:26.200 you'll have to

00:29:26.860 fact-check,

00:29:27.440 goodness, was

00:29:28.700 Anthony Fauci,

00:29:30.260 did he have a

00:29:30.960 financial interest

00:29:31.980 in remdesivir at

00:29:33.520 the time of the

00:29:34.560 pandemic?

00:29:36.900 Financial

00:29:37.420 interest?

00:29:38.720 Because I've

00:29:39.440 read that he did,

00:29:40.280 but I don't know

00:29:40.860 that you can

00:29:41.340 depend on any

00:29:42.300 reporting on this

00:29:43.340 domain.

00:29:43.720 Yeah, I'm

00:29:45.880 going to say

00:29:46.280 I've seen

00:29:46.820 reports of it,

00:29:47.660 but I don't

00:29:48.020 know that I

00:29:49.320 would not,

00:29:50.080 personally, I

00:29:50.800 would not

00:29:51.120 assert that as

00:29:51.860 fact.

00:29:53.820 Yeah, but

00:29:54.700 maybe.

00:29:55.340 Well, I'll just

00:29:56.040 say it's reported

00:29:56.700 that way.

00:29:57.580 I'm going to

00:29:58.160 stop short of

00:29:58.820 saying fact,

00:29:59.720 because it's the

00:30:00.320 sort of thing I'm

00:30:00.920 not sure anybody

00:30:01.500 knows.

00:30:02.400 For example,

00:30:03.840 would anybody

00:30:04.820 know if he had

00:30:05.560 sold his stock

00:30:06.300 before the

00:30:06.840 pandemic?

00:30:08.420 Would we know

00:30:09.060 that?

00:30:10.200 I just worry

00:30:11.020 that we don't

00:30:11.500 know, because

00:30:12.400 it's not exactly

00:30:13.040 public information.

00:30:13.720 All right.

00:30:17.400 So, again,

00:30:19.060 I'm going to

00:30:20.600 call out the

00:30:21.500 incredible benefit

00:30:23.320 we're seeing from

00:30:24.220 the campaign.

00:30:25.980 Yeah, imagine

00:30:26.580 if people had

00:30:27.840 just said,

00:30:28.280 well, it looks

00:30:28.800 like it's going

00:30:29.340 to be Biden

00:30:29.920 versus Trump.

00:30:31.340 We'll just live

00:30:32.220 with it.

00:30:33.340 But that's not

00:30:33.920 what happened.

00:30:35.080 Several candidates

00:30:36.000 decided that they

00:30:37.140 not only had a

00:30:37.920 chance, the

00:30:38.800 fake has a

00:30:39.280 real chance,

00:30:40.500 but that they

00:30:42.240 had something to

00:30:42.860 say.

00:30:44.440 Vivek is as

00:30:45.540 much about

00:30:46.100 what he's

00:30:46.540 saying as

00:30:47.500 the fact that

00:30:48.060 he's running.

00:30:49.740 He's saying

00:30:50.480 stuff that is

00:30:51.320 reorienting how

00:30:52.300 you feel about

00:30:53.020 stuff, how you

00:30:53.680 think about it.

00:30:54.640 He's reframing

00:30:55.600 the hell out of

00:30:56.280 us.

00:30:57.140 He's really

00:30:57.840 modifying and

00:30:58.940 improving, I would

00:30:59.720 say.

00:31:00.060 I'd say he's

00:31:00.520 improving the

00:31:02.200 philosophical opinions

00:31:04.040 on the right,

00:31:04.760 because have I

00:31:07.000 ever told you

00:31:07.460 that good

00:31:07.800 writing, I

00:31:09.560 refer to it

00:31:10.220 as saying

00:31:11.640 what you

00:31:12.000 were thinking

00:31:12.640 but saying

00:31:13.800 it better than

00:31:14.300 you were

00:31:14.540 thinking it.

00:31:15.660 That's what

00:31:16.140 Vivek does all

00:31:16.980 day long.

00:31:17.940 He says what

00:31:18.580 you were already

00:31:19.060 thinking, sort

00:31:19.880 of, but you

00:31:21.400 had not thought

00:31:22.040 of it that

00:31:22.440 well.

00:31:23.460 And then when

00:31:23.960 he puts it in

00:31:24.500 a sentence, you

00:31:25.260 say, that's it.

00:31:26.980 That's the

00:31:27.560 sentence.

00:31:28.540 I wish that

00:31:29.160 sentence had

00:31:29.720 been in my

00:31:30.160 head.

00:31:30.420 Now, I've

00:31:31.780 taught you in

00:31:33.220 my book,

00:31:33.860 Reframe Your

00:31:34.380 Brain, that's

00:31:34.900 just down to

00:31:35.620 the Kindle, I

00:31:36.600 taught you that

00:31:37.620 putting words in

00:31:39.700 somebody's head is

00:31:41.760 how you reprogram

00:31:42.540 people.

00:31:43.600 We think in

00:31:44.520 terms of words.

00:31:45.820 That's why the

00:31:46.540 LLMs produce 1.00

00:31:47.840 something that

00:31:48.380 looks like

00:31:48.760 intelligence.

00:31:49.880 Because our

00:31:50.840 internal thought

00:31:51.580 process depends

00:31:53.160 on words and

00:31:54.700 how they fit

00:31:55.260 together, and we

00:31:56.740 imagine that that's

00:31:57.720 our thinking.

00:31:58.980 But really, it's

00:31:59.660 just word

00:32:00.180 patterns that

00:32:00.840 we've seen

00:32:01.200 before and what

00:32:02.560 we've been

00:32:02.880 exposed to.

00:32:04.160 So when

00:32:05.340 Vivek puts a

00:32:06.300 different word

00:32:06.920 pattern into

00:32:07.700 your head and

00:32:08.420 he reframes a

00:32:09.340 topic, you're

00:32:10.680 being reprogrammed.

00:32:12.560 He's actually

00:32:13.220 upgrading your

00:32:14.000 software.

00:32:15.120 Because if you

00:32:15.700 used to say

00:32:16.940 whatever, let's

00:32:20.380 say, DeSantis

00:32:21.820 said about a

00:32:22.520 topic, then

00:32:23.900 maybe you had

00:32:24.520 sort of a

00:32:25.160 corporate-y, you

00:32:26.480 know, his

00:32:26.800 version of

00:32:27.320 saying it.

00:32:28.080 But if you

00:32:28.540 replace that with

00:32:29.420 a Vivek

00:32:30.080 sentence, especially

00:32:31.760 if you remember

00:32:32.420 the actual

00:32:32.920 sentence, you're 0.99

00:32:34.240 reprogramming

00:32:34.920 yourself to a

00:32:35.500 higher level of

00:32:36.400 argument.

00:32:38.100 You know, you

00:32:38.360 could debate

00:32:38.840 better using

00:32:40.640 Vivek's words

00:32:41.840 than someone

00:32:42.480 else's words.

00:32:44.040 True story.

00:32:44.780 Larry Elder is

00:32:49.400 doing great

00:32:49.920 things promoting

00:32:51.100 his belief that

00:32:52.960 the family unit

00:32:53.920 has to be

00:32:54.460 strengthened to

00:32:55.300 fix just about

00:32:56.160 everything.

00:32:58.120 And you're

00:32:58.740 seeing RFK

00:32:59.340 Jr. just

00:33:00.440 ripping the lid

00:33:01.400 off of the

00:33:02.580 lying from

00:33:03.320 every part of

00:33:03.980 society.

00:33:05.260 Love that.

00:33:07.260 Those are

00:33:07.880 three candidates

00:33:09.080 who are really

00:33:09.680 making a difference

00:33:10.520 no matter what

00:33:11.200 happens.

00:33:11.520 I don't think

00:33:13.000 I could have

00:33:13.440 more respect

00:33:15.040 for those

00:33:16.240 three candidates

00:33:16.980 than I do.

00:33:18.500 I mean, I

00:33:18.760 have maximum

00:33:19.340 respect.

00:33:20.440 Because they're

00:33:20.760 doing the work.

00:33:21.580 I hate to say

00:33:22.160 doing the work.

00:33:23.120 They're doing

00:33:23.540 productive things

00:33:24.680 even if they

00:33:27.800 don't win.

00:33:28.480 And certainly

00:33:29.140 a few of them

00:33:29.820 don't expect to

00:33:30.520 win.

00:33:32.040 So, and I

00:33:32.880 just want to say

00:33:33.380 something about

00:33:34.120 Larry Elder's

00:33:36.180 take, you know,

00:33:37.140 that the family

00:33:37.700 unit and keeping

00:33:38.560 the father there

00:33:39.280 is important.

00:33:40.060 I would agree

00:33:41.220 with everything

00:33:41.720 he says about

00:33:42.340 that.

00:33:43.580 But I would

00:33:45.440 argue that

00:33:46.160 maybe things

00:33:46.900 have changed

00:33:47.580 and not just

00:33:48.840 in how we

00:33:49.640 financially reward

00:33:51.000 people for not

00:33:51.740 having a father.

00:33:54.700 But I think

00:33:56.020 we're in a

00:33:56.940 situation where

00:33:58.600 I don't think

00:33:59.140 we can go

00:33:59.660 back.

00:34:01.380 So it's not

00:34:02.180 that having a

00:34:02.920 family unit

00:34:03.520 doesn't produce

00:34:05.160 better results.

00:34:05.940 It seems to

00:34:06.560 very clearly.

00:34:08.220 But if you

00:34:08.860 can't go back

00:34:09.580 to it,

00:34:10.080 in other words,

00:34:10.740 if we're on

00:34:11.620 a one-way

00:34:12.140 journey and

00:34:13.260 you just

00:34:13.560 can't go back

00:34:14.360 because for

00:34:15.140 whatever reason,

00:34:15.860 and I don't

00:34:16.160 think it's

00:34:16.520 just financial,

00:34:18.380 well, I'm

00:34:19.900 just going to

00:34:20.280 say it.

00:34:22.020 I didn't want

00:34:22.700 to say it,

00:34:23.180 but I'm just

00:34:23.520 going to say it.

00:34:24.800 The reason

00:34:25.520 people don't

00:34:26.100 stay married

00:34:26.660 is that we

00:34:27.580 suck. 1.00

00:34:29.200 That's it.

00:34:31.020 That's it.

00:34:31.980 People suck.

00:34:34.120 We're not

00:34:34.800 people that you

00:34:35.620 should marry

00:34:36.120 and stay

00:34:36.500 married to.

00:34:37.120 We're just

00:34:37.460 not.

00:34:37.840 Not the

00:34:38.840 men, not 0.97

00:34:39.320 the women. 0.81

00:34:40.520 The men are

00:34:41.100 not worth

00:34:41.580 staying with

00:34:42.140 and the

00:34:42.400 women are 1.00

00:34:42.760 not worth

00:34:43.200 staying with.

00:34:43.940 They're just

00:34:44.220 not worth it.

00:34:45.640 Now, I'm

00:34:45.980 not talking

00:34:46.300 about any

00:34:46.700 individual and

00:34:47.540 I'm not

00:34:47.860 talking about

00:34:48.320 my life

00:34:48.880 because I'm

00:34:49.280 a rich guy.

00:34:50.420 Nothing applies.

00:34:52.260 My rich guy

00:34:53.240 getting married

00:34:53.800 and divorced

00:34:54.260 is not like

00:34:54.920 yours.

00:34:56.080 You all know

00:34:56.840 that.

00:34:57.760 I can afford

00:34:58.640 to get married.

00:34:59.780 I can afford

00:35:00.220 to get divorced.

00:35:01.000 So it's

00:35:02.940 different.

00:35:03.560 It's different.

00:35:04.380 But if a

00:35:05.400 divorce is the

00:35:06.140 difference between

00:35:06.820 poverty and

00:35:07.840 making it,

00:35:09.280 that's a whole

00:35:10.080 different world.

00:35:11.540 And in that

00:35:11.920 world, the

00:35:13.260 benefit of

00:35:13.980 getting married

00:35:14.540 just isn't

00:35:15.980 there because

00:35:17.120 people suck. 0.97

00:35:18.480 I do believe

00:35:19.340 that people are

00:35:19.880 worse people than

00:35:20.780 they've ever been,

00:35:22.240 just in general.

00:35:24.340 People are worse

00:35:25.220 than they've ever

00:35:25.880 been to each

00:35:27.040 other in terms

00:35:28.400 of what it would

00:35:28.980 take to be a

00:35:29.840 partner for

00:35:30.440 marriage.

00:35:31.360 And I feel

00:35:32.380 like we can't

00:35:32.880 say that out

00:35:33.540 loud because

00:35:36.540 somebody's going

00:35:37.520 to turn it

00:35:37.880 racist, of

00:35:38.580 course.

00:35:39.660 Somebody's going

00:35:40.220 to turn it

00:35:40.620 into sexism,

00:35:41.840 of course.

00:35:42.680 But you didn't

00:35:43.200 hear me say

00:35:43.640 that, right?

00:35:45.080 I didn't say

00:35:45.680 it's limited

00:35:46.440 to just one

00:35:46.940 group because

00:35:47.500 it's not.

00:35:48.620 I didn't say

00:35:49.040 one gender is

00:35:50.300 the bad one

00:35:50.900 because they're

00:35:51.260 not.

00:35:52.860 We've just

00:35:53.480 become terrible

00:35:54.100 people.

00:35:55.280 So how do

00:35:55.900 you fix that?

00:35:57.520 So I think

00:35:58.340 the Larry Elder

00:35:59.120 solution of

00:36:00.060 strengthening the

00:36:01.640 families is

00:36:03.040 good as a

00:36:03.880 concept, as

00:36:04.640 great as

00:36:05.260 maybe an

00:36:06.160 end point or

00:36:06.920 something, but

00:36:08.120 I don't know

00:36:08.500 how to get

00:36:08.840 there.

00:36:10.080 You can't

00:36:10.820 tell me that

00:36:11.280 marrying somebody

00:36:12.320 who is not

00:36:14.900 going to find

00:36:15.320 me a good

00:36:15.740 marriage partner

00:36:16.480 works for me.

00:36:20.640 And keep in

00:36:21.480 mind, I'm

00:36:21.840 talking about

00:36:22.360 myself, right?

00:36:23.860 I'm not saying

00:36:24.860 you're bad and 0.79

00:36:25.480 I'm awesome.

00:36:26.080 I've been

00:36:27.200 divorced twice.

00:36:28.660 Do you think

00:36:29.240 I would be

00:36:29.600 divorced twice

00:36:30.380 if somebody

00:36:30.880 really, really

00:36:31.500 liked being

00:36:32.260 married to

00:36:32.720 me?

00:36:33.460 I don't

00:36:34.000 think so.

00:36:35.680 Honestly, if

00:36:37.760 I were a

00:36:38.260 better deal,

00:36:39.400 somebody would

00:36:40.080 be married to

00:36:40.660 me by now,

00:36:41.340 probably, and

00:36:42.560 we'd be happy.

00:36:43.720 But apparently

00:36:44.440 I'm not a good

00:36:45.000 deal.

00:36:46.140 And I'm at

00:36:48.060 least transparent

00:36:48.720 about it.

00:36:49.120 I snore,

00:36:54.500 so it's hard

00:36:54.880 to be in a

00:36:56.200 relationship when

00:36:56.940 you snore.

00:36:58.080 That's one of

00:36:58.660 the things people

00:36:59.160 don't talk about.

00:37:00.900 They don't talk

00:37:01.700 about how much

00:37:02.300 snoring makes

00:37:03.820 it impossible to

00:37:04.680 be in a

00:37:05.180 relationship.

00:37:07.540 You could act

00:37:08.700 like it's not,

00:37:10.080 like, oh,

00:37:10.640 that's just a

00:37:11.220 detail, but it's

00:37:11.900 not.

00:37:12.860 Not just a

00:37:13.520 detail.

00:37:14.480 I would bet

00:37:15.040 that snoring is

00:37:16.240 20% of divorces.

00:37:19.120 That's my

00:37:20.740 estimate.

00:37:21.260 Snoring is

00:37:22.480 20% of

00:37:23.260 divorces.

00:37:24.100 Now, that

00:37:24.540 doesn't mean

00:37:25.280 they'll say

00:37:25.680 that.

00:37:26.380 It just means

00:37:27.120 you end up in

00:37:27.720 separate bedrooms

00:37:28.480 and then it

00:37:29.820 all goes to

00:37:30.340 hell.

00:37:31.500 So nobody

00:37:31.980 plans it that

00:37:32.620 way.

00:37:34.400 All right.

00:37:35.860 Yeah, I've

00:37:36.580 done, I've

00:37:37.140 had my sinuses

00:37:37.980 operated on.

00:37:39.060 It doesn't

00:37:39.500 make a

00:37:39.780 difference.

00:37:41.440 I've had my

00:37:42.240 septum,

00:37:43.680 deviated septum.

00:37:46.220 Also, so I've

00:37:47.880 had two surgeries

00:37:48.860 to fix my

00:37:50.120 general sinus

00:37:50.960 situation.

00:37:52.840 No difference.

00:37:54.460 No difference.

00:37:56.140 But very painful

00:37:57.140 surgeries, but no

00:37:58.280 difference.

00:37:59.500 I do breathe

00:38:00.120 better, though.

00:38:02.160 What was I

00:38:02.820 talking about?

00:38:04.200 Oh, so I love

00:38:06.680 the Larry Elder

00:38:07.360 thing, but I

00:38:08.160 think he needs

00:38:08.620 to go back a

00:38:09.260 level and find

00:38:10.200 out what's wrong

00:38:10.780 at the base.

00:38:11.700 He's definitely

00:38:12.420 on point about

00:38:13.280 some of it being

00:38:14.000 economic, but

00:38:15.900 there's a much

00:38:16.600 bigger thing.

00:38:17.320 We've all become

00:38:17.920 people who are

00:38:18.540 not worth

00:38:18.940 marrying.

00:38:20.600 That's a big

00:38:21.280 problem.

00:38:22.960 Now, here's

00:38:23.940 why, here's

00:38:24.680 part of the

00:38:25.180 reason we've

00:38:25.700 become, part

00:38:28.560 of the reason

00:38:29.060 that we've

00:38:29.780 become people

00:38:30.420 we don't want

00:38:31.060 to marry.

00:38:31.740 It's because we

00:38:32.360 don't have roles.

00:38:34.300 When people

00:38:34.980 had roles, you

00:38:36.340 could respect

00:38:36.960 anybody who did

00:38:37.780 their role.

00:38:39.000 Right?

00:38:39.560 Now, you can say

00:38:40.140 it was sexist.

00:38:40.980 That's not the

00:38:41.560 argument.

00:38:42.340 I'm saying that

00:38:42.980 when the male-female

00:38:44.180 roles were clear,

00:38:45.420 you could respect

00:38:47.400 the other

00:38:48.180 person for

00:38:48.680 doing their

00:38:49.100 role, and

00:38:50.180 even if maybe

00:38:50.900 the lust

00:38:51.900 dissipated, you'd

00:38:53.960 say to yourself,

00:38:54.740 my God, I

00:38:55.320 can't live

00:38:55.720 without that.

00:38:57.160 Like, that's

00:38:57.640 a partner.

00:38:59.180 That's somebody

00:38:59.640 who values the

00:39:00.440 promise as

00:39:02.300 much as the

00:39:03.180 day-to-day lust

00:39:05.100 and happiness.

00:39:06.840 So, yeah, I

00:39:09.280 think the loss

00:39:10.240 of defined role

00:39:12.440 models was

00:39:14.140 simultaneously

00:39:14.900 amazing for

00:39:16.300 some number

00:39:16.840 of women,

00:39:18.280 amazing for

00:39:19.140 some number

00:39:19.680 of men,

00:39:21.040 amazing for

00:39:21.780 some number

00:39:22.260 of LGBTQ

00:39:23.080 that maybe

00:39:24.560 got more

00:39:24.960 freedom in

00:39:25.440 that deal,

00:39:26.720 but it

00:39:28.180 destroyed the

00:39:28.700 system.

00:39:30.020 Very good

00:39:30.740 for a lot

00:39:31.180 of people

00:39:31.520 individually,

00:39:33.500 but it

00:39:33.860 destroyed the

00:39:34.400 system.

00:39:35.580 So I think

00:39:36.240 we have to

00:39:36.800 figure out

00:39:37.300 how to

00:39:38.100 restore the

00:39:38.820 system in

00:39:40.340 the context

00:39:41.000 of we're

00:39:42.100 not so good

00:39:42.700 to each

00:39:43.040 other that

00:39:43.500 we want to

00:39:43.940 marry each

00:39:44.340 other these

00:39:44.760 days.

00:39:45.360 We don't

00:39:45.900 add enough

00:39:46.360 value.

00:39:47.880 Somebody asked

00:39:48.560 me recently

00:39:49.140 if I'd want

00:39:50.500 to get

00:39:51.200 married again.

00:39:52.820 Do you

00:39:53.020 know what my

00:39:53.360 answer is?

00:39:55.120 Why?

00:39:56.660 What would

00:39:57.260 that give me?

00:39:59.280 What possible

00:40:00.380 benefit would

00:40:00.960 that be?

00:40:01.680 I couldn't

00:40:02.040 even think of

00:40:02.500 one.

00:40:03.100 It has nothing

00:40:03.580 to do with

00:40:04.000 any individual

00:40:04.740 I may or

00:40:05.340 may not fall

00:40:05.880 in love with.

00:40:06.780 I just don't

00:40:07.460 see any benefit

00:40:08.120 to it.

00:40:09.100 What's the

00:40:09.600 benefit?

00:40:10.080 Loyalty?

00:40:11.900 Do you

00:40:12.620 think I

00:40:12.960 could get

00:40:13.260 some loyalty?

00:40:15.120 No.

00:40:15.940 No.

00:40:16.520 Because we

00:40:17.340 don't really

00:40:17.740 live in that

00:40:18.180 world anymore.

00:40:18.940 And that's

00:40:19.240 not a

00:40:19.540 statement of

00:40:19.940 women. 0.81

00:40:20.760 This is

00:40:21.140 not a

00:40:21.520 statement

00:40:21.760 about

00:40:22.040 women. 0.81

00:40:23.500 You can't

00:40:24.180 buy loyalty.

00:40:25.320 You can't

00:40:25.580 find it.

00:40:26.220 We just

00:40:26.700 sort of live

00:40:27.180 in a

00:40:27.540 cheater

00:40:27.840 society.

00:40:29.220 And if

00:40:30.640 people don't

00:40:31.120 cheat,

00:40:31.480 they might

00:40:32.300 want to

00:40:32.560 change

00:40:32.820 partners.

00:40:34.720 Yeah.

00:40:35.500 Marriage

00:40:36.020 would be

00:40:36.500 ridiculous in

00:40:37.720 my specific

00:40:38.500 situation.

00:40:39.640 Somebody said

00:40:40.180 it more

00:40:40.420 generally,

00:40:40.800 why would

00:40:41.260 a rich

00:40:41.520 person

00:40:41.800 ever get

00:40:42.140 married?

00:40:45.280 There's not

00:40:45.980 much reason.

00:40:47.520 There really

00:40:48.200 isn't.

00:40:49.680 All right.

00:40:50.860 I can tell you

00:40:51.760 why I did it.

00:40:53.140 I got married

00:40:53.980 for the benefit

00:40:54.620 of the person

00:40:55.100 I was marrying.

00:40:56.620 I mean,

00:40:57.240 I was in love

00:40:57.900 in both cases.

00:40:59.920 Totally in love.

00:41:01.040 But to me,

00:41:01.840 marriage was only

00:41:02.740 for the benefit

00:41:03.340 of children,

00:41:04.880 you know,

00:41:05.140 stepkids.

00:41:05.580 And it just

00:41:07.000 made somebody

00:41:08.180 else happier.

00:41:09.400 But that's

00:41:10.440 why I did it.

00:41:11.680 Because that

00:41:12.200 felt like my

00:41:13.120 role, right?

00:41:14.120 My role was

00:41:14.880 to keep

00:41:16.000 people,

00:41:16.600 you know,

00:41:17.560 safe.

00:41:19.560 All right.

00:41:20.000 Mark Cuban

00:41:20.680 was tweeting

00:41:21.340 out to Elon

00:41:21.840 Musk over 0.99

00:41:22.400 this big

00:41:23.040 issue of

00:41:23.680 whether

00:41:24.000 blocking will

00:41:25.840 be allowed

00:41:26.380 on Twitter

00:41:26.880 in the future.

00:41:27.720 Let's call

00:41:28.180 it X.

00:41:28.700 and Elon

00:41:30.680 Musk said

00:41:31.220 that blocking

00:41:31.900 is going

00:41:32.240 to go away. 0.66

00:41:33.340 Mark Cuban

00:41:33.980 had some

00:41:35.600 things to

00:41:36.460 say about

00:41:36.880 the algorithm.

00:41:38.920 So there

00:41:39.200 are two

00:41:40.080 things going

00:41:40.580 on.

00:41:41.000 One is

00:41:41.300 about blocking

00:41:41.900 and then

00:41:42.820 Mark Cuban's

00:41:43.640 conversation

00:41:44.160 about whether

00:41:45.780 Elon Musk

00:41:46.960 has too much

00:41:48.120 influence over

00:41:48.980 the content.

00:41:51.720 Now,

00:41:52.060 when I saw

00:41:52.520 it,

00:41:52.680 let's talk

00:41:53.040 about them

00:41:53.360 individually.

00:41:54.380 So let's

00:41:54.800 talk about

00:41:55.160 the algorithm

00:41:55.760 first.

00:41:56.900 So Mark

00:41:57.240 Cuban's take

00:41:58.000 was that

00:41:59.460 Twitter or

00:42:00.760 X is now

00:42:02.500 a reflection

00:42:03.180 of one

00:42:03.820 person's

00:42:04.520 sensibilities.

00:42:05.860 I hope I'm

00:42:06.480 summarizing that

00:42:07.180 correctly.

00:42:08.560 And I

00:42:09.860 commented back

00:42:11.500 to Mark Cuban

00:42:12.320 and said,

00:42:13.580 I'm not

00:42:14.420 seeing the

00:42:16.780 effect of

00:42:17.280 that.

00:42:18.320 What exactly

00:42:19.680 makes you

00:42:20.240 think that

00:42:21.020 it's become

00:42:21.640 an Elon

00:42:22.580 Musk sort 0.97

00:42:23.820 of thing?

00:42:24.780 And then

00:42:25.240 he responded

00:42:26.840 by showing

00:42:27.380 the Twitter

00:42:27.980 guy,

00:42:29.020 I guess

00:42:29.360 there's a

00:42:29.660 Twitter

00:42:29.860 document,

00:42:30.820 let's call

00:42:31.260 it X,

00:42:31.920 that explains

00:42:33.240 how their

00:42:34.360 algorithm works.

00:42:36.300 It is

00:42:36.720 hilarious to

00:42:37.560 read.

00:42:38.540 If you want

00:42:39.060 a good laugh,

00:42:40.300 you should

00:42:40.680 read the

00:42:41.780 X document

00:42:43.040 that explains

00:42:43.760 how their

00:42:44.140 algorithm works.

00:42:47.600 Let's just

00:42:48.340 say it's

00:42:48.700 complicated.

00:42:50.540 There are

00:42:51.220 so many

00:42:51.660 jargony

00:42:52.960 buzzwords in it,

00:42:53.860 you really

00:42:54.280 can't tell

00:42:54.760 what it is.

00:42:55.840 It's as

00:42:56.480 close to

00:42:56.960 being 100%

00:42:58.200 non-transparent

00:42:59.260 as anything

00:42:59.780 could be,

00:43:01.180 while it's

00:43:01.900 trying to be

00:43:02.420 transparent.

00:43:03.900 So the

00:43:04.240 point of it

00:43:05.200 is to show

00:43:06.020 you what

00:43:06.360 they're doing,

00:43:07.180 but because

00:43:07.760 they have to

00:43:08.160 use such

00:43:08.640 generic,

00:43:09.800 jargony

00:43:10.180 words,

00:43:11.340 it's just so

00:43:12.140 dense with

00:43:12.680 jargon,

00:43:13.460 you really

00:43:13.960 can't tell

00:43:14.420 what it is.

00:43:15.340 No human

00:43:16.160 could read

00:43:16.620 that.

00:43:17.240 It's not

00:43:17.620 because I'm

00:43:18.060 not an

00:43:18.400 engineer,

00:43:19.500 it's not

00:43:19.900 because I'm

00:43:20.480 not an

00:43:21.120 expert in

00:43:21.680 the field,

00:43:22.100 it's just

00:43:23.060 written that

00:43:23.500 nobody could

00:43:25.140 understand in

00:43:26.600 detail what

00:43:28.060 it's doing or

00:43:28.640 not doing.

00:43:30.800 But I saw

00:43:31.640 one phrase

00:43:32.240 there that

00:43:32.820 said that,

00:43:34.880 let's see,

00:43:36.640 what was the

00:43:36.980 phrase on

00:43:37.700 the X

00:43:38.640 document?

00:43:40.060 It said

00:43:40.580 they would

00:43:41.520 seek a fair

00:43:42.260 balance of

00:43:44.540 contents from

00:43:45.820 different sources.

00:43:46.560 that was the

00:43:49.540 term used

00:43:50.500 in the

00:43:51.500 X

00:43:52.160 documents,

00:43:53.720 that they

00:43:54.240 would seek

00:43:54.680 fair balance.

00:43:57.080 What's that

00:43:57.720 tell you?

00:44:00.380 Do

00:44:00.900 computers

00:44:02.140 and AI,

00:44:03.800 do they

00:44:04.060 know how

00:44:04.400 to figure

00:44:04.840 out what's

00:44:05.220 fair?

00:44:07.640 How do

00:44:08.340 you determine

00:44:08.760 what's fair?

00:44:12.020 No,

00:44:12.620 there's no

00:44:12.940 objective

00:44:13.520 standard for

00:44:14.660 fair,

00:44:15.660 because it

00:44:16.140 doesn't just

00:44:16.600 mean the

00:44:17.480 numbers,

00:44:19.860 right?

00:44:20.460 It's not

00:44:20.940 about just

00:44:21.320 the numbers,

00:44:21.960 it's about a

00:44:22.560 judgment.

00:44:24.100 Fair is

00:44:24.840 only

00:44:25.460 subjective.

00:44:27.540 So if

00:44:28.100 the Twitter

00:44:29.100 algorithm has

00:44:30.860 an important

00:44:31.380 component in

00:44:32.240 which somebody

00:44:33.180 or something

00:44:34.180 is determining

00:44:35.840 what a fair

00:44:36.480 balance is of

00:44:37.480 content from

00:44:38.280 different sources,

00:44:39.760 that can only

00:44:40.880 be humans.

00:44:42.660 Now,

00:44:42.960 it might be

00:44:43.260 the humans

00:44:43.680 who set it

00:44:44.600 up and then

00:44:45.020 they walk

00:44:45.400 away,

00:44:46.080 but it's

00:44:46.640 set up

00:44:47.000 by the

00:44:47.280 humans.

00:44:48.440 Some

00:44:48.880 human had

00:44:49.580 to say,

00:44:50.340 I'm going

00:44:51.040 to tweak

00:44:51.420 this or

00:44:51.940 put this

00:44:52.380 filter in

00:44:52.940 because in

00:44:54.200 my opinion,

00:44:55.700 or maybe

00:44:56.280 some few

00:44:57.120 people's

00:44:57.540 opinions,

00:44:58.400 this is

00:44:59.160 what fair

00:44:59.680 looks like.

00:45:02.400 Would it

00:45:03.060 be fair

00:45:03.680 to have

00:45:04.780 just as

00:45:05.280 much content

00:45:05.940 from something

00:45:06.900 that's obviously

00:45:07.740 conspiracy

00:45:08.480 trash versus

00:45:10.500 something that

00:45:11.160 might have

00:45:11.520 some credibility?

00:45:12.880 would it

00:45:14.080 be fair

00:45:14.480 that you

00:45:14.760 get the

00:45:15.080 same amount

00:45:15.740 of it?

00:45:17.700 Dependence,

00:45:18.440 right?

00:45:19.060 If you're

00:45:19.620 Alex Jones,

00:45:20.320 you'd say

00:45:20.640 that is

00:45:21.020 fair because

00:45:21.940 you can't

00:45:22.400 tell what's

00:45:22.800 real and

00:45:23.140 what's not.

00:45:24.580 Maybe he'd

00:45:25.260 say that.

00:45:26.520 If you're

00:45:27.100 somebody else,

00:45:27.640 you'd say

00:45:27.920 that's crazy.

00:45:29.560 Why would

00:45:29.920 you let

00:45:30.300 some 4chan

00:45:31.420 conspiracy

00:45:31.960 theory get

00:45:32.680 the equal

00:45:33.080 weight with

00:45:33.500 a respectable

00:45:35.220 publication?

00:45:35.920 fair is

00:45:39.020 so completely

00:45:39.800 subjective that

00:45:40.740 I had to

00:45:41.300 immediately

00:45:41.900 fold my

00:45:43.060 argument and

00:45:44.300 agree with

00:45:44.740 Mark Cuban

00:45:45.280 that we can

00:45:46.740 never know

00:45:47.280 what's happening

00:45:47.820 with the

00:45:48.140 algorithm,

00:45:48.940 but we can

00:45:49.700 know for

00:45:50.120 sure that if

00:45:50.780 Elon Musk

00:45:51.380 doesn't like

00:45:52.000 it, he'll

00:45:52.300 change it.

00:45:54.560 Now, that

00:45:55.280 doesn't mean

00:45:55.760 that we're

00:45:56.140 already seeing

00:45:57.940 sort of the

00:45:58.500 Elon Musk

00:45:59.240 version of

00:46:00.020 reality.

00:46:00.820 It just

00:46:01.520 means it

00:46:03.140 has to

00:46:03.520 happen over

00:46:03.960 time.

00:46:04.320 And as

00:46:05.840 Cuban said,

00:46:07.760 Elon Musk

00:46:08.360 won't always

00:46:08.980 be alive and

00:46:09.780 always running

00:46:10.260 it.

00:46:12.000 Somebody else

00:46:12.840 might have to

00:46:13.340 be the,

00:46:14.360 let's say,

00:46:15.260 the benevolent

00:46:18.240 dictator.

00:46:20.900 I've often

00:46:21.760 said the

00:46:22.220 best form of

00:46:23.080 government,

00:46:23.820 by far,

00:46:25.000 the best form

00:46:25.700 of government

00:46:26.240 would be a

00:46:27.680 brilliant,

00:46:29.460 benevolent

00:46:30.500 dictator.

00:46:32.000 Because the

00:46:32.840 dictator part

00:46:33.620 gets you

00:46:34.260 past all the

00:46:35.260 nonsense of

00:46:36.020 arguing about

00:46:36.640 stuff.

00:46:37.420 The brilliant

00:46:38.200 part gets you

00:46:38.880 good solutions,

00:46:40.040 or at least

00:46:40.400 somebody who

00:46:40.900 knows to

00:46:41.740 test things

00:46:42.360 before they

00:46:42.840 implement them.

00:46:43.660 That's pretty

00:46:44.320 good.

00:46:46.660 And the

00:46:47.400 benevolent means

00:46:48.800 that that

00:46:49.340 person is

00:46:49.860 brilliant and

00:46:50.640 working for

00:46:51.260 your interests.

00:46:53.460 Now, we

00:46:54.260 actually have

00:46:54.900 something that

00:46:55.440 feels like that

00:46:56.280 to me.

00:46:57.700 You've got the

00:46:58.640 brilliant part,

00:46:59.880 Elon Musk.

00:47:00.760 You've got the

00:47:01.540 benevolent part,

00:47:02.360 which I

00:47:02.740 actually

00:47:03.040 believe.

00:47:03.940 I believe he

00:47:04.680 really wants

00:47:06.420 free speech

00:47:07.020 in his bones.

00:47:08.620 I think that's

00:47:09.300 completely real.

00:47:10.580 But that's my

00:47:11.480 opinion.

00:47:12.940 I don't know.

00:47:14.320 If he had some

00:47:15.300 secret evil

00:47:16.420 agenda, would I

00:47:17.940 know it?

00:47:18.740 No.

00:47:19.460 Can't read minds.

00:47:21.920 But it feels to me

00:47:23.240 like an ideal

00:47:23.960 situation that's

00:47:24.920 also temporary.

00:47:26.280 So I'm going to

00:47:26.800 agree with Mark

00:47:27.480 Cuban, no matter 1.00

00:47:28.500 what you think

00:47:29.200 of Elon, and

00:47:30.380 I have a high

00:47:30.940 opinion, he's

00:47:32.860 not going to be

00:47:33.360 there forever.

00:47:35.000 But Twitter

00:47:36.780 won't always be

00:47:37.420 the same forever

00:47:38.300 either.

00:47:39.060 So by the time

00:47:40.080 somebody else

00:47:40.560 runs it, maybe

00:47:41.220 everything else

00:47:41.960 has changed.

00:47:43.020 Maybe there's a

00:47:43.580 whole different

00:47:44.060 AI platform or

00:47:46.740 something.

00:47:48.640 So I don't

00:47:50.020 know.

00:47:50.940 I'd keep an

00:47:51.780 eye on that.

00:47:52.620 But be aware,

00:47:53.760 in my opinion,

00:47:54.720 there's no such

00:47:55.640 thing as an

00:47:56.920 algorithm that

00:47:57.880 is not biased.

00:48:00.240 And if you had

00:48:01.040 one, you couldn't

00:48:01.640 make a business

00:48:02.240 model out of it.

00:48:03.900 In other words,

00:48:04.940 bias in the

00:48:06.860 design of the

00:48:07.660 algorithm is

00:48:08.880 unavoidable.

00:48:10.580 So my response

00:48:13.000 to Mark Cuban,

00:48:14.040 he certainly made

00:48:14.680 his point.

00:48:15.600 The way the

00:48:16.260 algorithm is,

00:48:17.040 you can't avoid

00:48:17.900 the fact that

00:48:18.980 the owner of the

00:48:19.720 company is going

00:48:20.340 to get what he

00:48:21.240 or she wants.

00:48:22.880 That's a good

00:48:24.600 solid point.

00:48:28.260 But we don't

00:48:30.860 know if we're

00:48:31.380 seeing it yet.

00:48:33.260 And I can't

00:48:34.140 think of any

00:48:34.600 model that would

00:48:35.200 be better.

00:48:36.720 Can you?

00:48:37.980 You know, the

00:48:38.700 obvious thing you

00:48:39.580 think is like,

00:48:40.360 oh, let's get

00:48:41.520 rid of all

00:48:42.360 moderation.

00:48:44.340 Do you think

00:48:45.020 that would work?

00:48:46.600 Do you think

00:48:47.240 you could build

00:48:47.980 a platform

00:48:49.000 with no

00:48:49.900 moderation?

00:48:51.560 No.

00:48:52.460 Do you think

00:48:53.200 you could have

00:48:53.900 a platform

00:48:54.440 platform in

00:48:55.320 which you're

00:48:55.660 not doing

00:48:56.020 a lot of

00:48:56.360 fact-checking

00:48:57.160 and that

00:48:58.340 works out

00:48:58.820 okay?

00:49:03.020 No.

00:49:04.780 No, that's

00:49:05.440 not going to

00:49:05.760 work out okay.

00:49:06.740 There are

00:49:07.280 no solutions.

00:49:09.600 So before

00:49:10.400 you criticize

00:49:11.100 the way it

00:49:11.900 is, just

00:49:13.100 remember,

00:49:13.740 you're not

00:49:14.060 comparing it

00:49:14.560 to anything.

00:49:15.480 You're comparing

00:49:16.140 it to some

00:49:16.640 imaginary thing

00:49:17.580 in your mind

00:49:18.280 in which there's

00:49:19.560 both no

00:49:21.280 censorship and

00:49:23.280 it works out

00:49:24.000 fine.

00:49:25.200 That's not a

00:49:25.820 possibility.

00:49:27.400 That is not

00:49:28.120 even slightly

00:49:29.080 a possibility.

00:49:30.540 Human beings

00:49:31.280 will exploit

00:49:31.940 every opportunity

00:49:32.720 to be terrible.

00:49:34.580 So what's

00:49:35.100 happening now,

00:49:36.220 sort of

00:49:36.580 dovetailing to

00:49:37.200 this, is that

00:49:37.920 Elon Musk

00:49:39.140 wants to take

00:49:39.640 away the

00:49:39.920 block feature.

00:49:41.500 And people

00:49:41.960 are asking me,

00:49:42.660 Scott, what do

00:49:43.240 you think about

00:49:43.680 this?

00:49:44.120 And here's my

00:49:44.640 opinion.

00:49:44.920 opinion, I'm

00:49:47.020 one of many

00:49:49.240 millions of

00:49:49.880 Twitter users.

00:49:51.500 Personally,

00:49:52.560 removing the

00:49:53.300 block feature

00:49:53.960 for me in my

00:49:54.920 very specific

00:49:55.760 situation of a

00:49:57.800 million followers

00:49:59.140 and I talk

00:50:00.240 about politics

00:50:01.040 and people hate

00:50:01.940 me and people

00:50:02.720 love me and

00:50:04.140 they're all going

00:50:04.560 to be fighting

00:50:04.980 it out in the

00:50:05.460 comments.

00:50:06.520 In my very

00:50:07.380 specific situation,

00:50:09.260 removing the

00:50:09.860 blocking is all

00:50:10.760 bad.

00:50:11.140 but that's

00:50:13.600 not my

00:50:13.960 opinion of

00:50:14.480 whether you

00:50:14.820 should do

00:50:15.100 it because

00:50:16.760 I'm just

00:50:17.100 one person

00:50:17.620 and I'm

00:50:19.300 an elite

00:50:19.760 at least in

00:50:22.080 terms of

00:50:22.420 Twitter users.

00:50:23.860 I'm an elite

00:50:24.700 Twitter user

00:50:25.560 because I have

00:50:25.960 a million

00:50:26.260 followers.

00:50:27.700 Should Elon

00:50:28.280 Musk modify 0.97

00:50:30.100 his rules and

00:50:31.920 his features to

00:50:33.360 satisfy people

00:50:34.320 like me if

00:50:36.460 it's at the

00:50:36.960 expense of

00:50:38.260 everybody else

00:50:39.200 and the

00:50:41.140 answer is

00:50:41.680 I don't

00:50:41.980 think so.

00:50:43.160 I'd love to

00:50:43.720 tell you he

00:50:44.160 should satisfy

00:50:44.780 me and let

00:50:45.500 the rest of

00:50:46.020 you who have

00:50:47.160 small accounts

00:50:47.940 fend for

00:50:48.660 yourself.

00:50:50.400 But I don't

00:50:51.180 think that's

00:50:51.700 the way you

00:50:52.100 run anything.

00:50:53.500 I think not.

00:50:55.440 Now I'll go

00:50:56.040 further and say

00:50:56.820 if I had as

00:50:58.280 many followers

00:50:58.940 as Elon

00:51:00.840 Musk, I

00:51:02.040 wouldn't care

00:51:02.500 about blocking.

00:51:04.520 Do you

00:51:05.100 understand that?

00:51:06.400 If I had

00:51:07.160 20 million

00:51:09.120 followers, I

00:51:11.000 wouldn't care

00:51:11.380 about blocking.

00:51:12.380 Do you know

00:51:12.900 why?

00:51:13.680 If you've got

00:51:14.340 20 million

00:51:14.900 followers, you're

00:51:15.560 not looking at

00:51:16.120 comments.

00:51:18.100 You wouldn't

00:51:18.760 spend a minute

00:51:19.280 looking at

00:51:19.760 comments because

00:51:20.980 there would be

00:51:21.300 a million of

00:51:21.860 them.

00:51:22.820 What are you

00:51:23.440 going to do?

00:51:24.120 Block three

00:51:24.840 of them?

00:51:26.260 I've got 300,000

00:51:27.520 people saying

00:51:28.100 I'm a Nazi.

00:51:29.180 I'll block 0.73

00:51:29.640 three of them.

00:51:31.700 But I can

00:51:32.600 actually block

00:51:33.700 100% of my

00:51:35.680 trolls without

00:51:36.780 much effort.

00:51:37.900 On any given

00:51:38.660 day, there

00:51:39.180 might be fewer

00:51:40.100 than five.

00:51:42.300 I click

00:51:43.000 things five

00:51:43.620 times a day

00:51:44.280 and I feel

00:51:45.940 good when I

00:51:46.460 click it.

00:51:47.720 So my

00:51:48.080 experience is

00:51:48.960 unique.

00:51:49.520 There's this

00:51:49.820 little zone of

00:51:51.180 influencers,

00:51:52.880 somewhat in the

00:51:54.120 size of my

00:51:54.740 accounts, let's

00:51:55.380 say quarter

00:51:56.780 million to

00:51:57.980 million and

00:51:59.480 a half.

00:52:00.320 And there's

00:52:00.860 lots of them.

00:52:02.460 For that group

00:52:03.280 of people,

00:52:04.640 it's all

00:52:05.100 bad.

00:52:07.040 Removing

00:52:07.560 blocking for

00:52:08.500 us, tiny

00:52:09.960 little sliver

00:52:11.120 of users is

00:52:11.780 all bad.

00:52:12.600 And there's

00:52:12.960 no way to

00:52:13.320 argue that.

00:52:15.340 Does everybody

00:52:15.840 agree?

00:52:17.620 That just for

00:52:18.480 our personal

00:52:19.120 enjoyment, it's

00:52:19.840 just all bad.

00:52:21.360 Now whether

00:52:21.760 that, and I've

00:52:23.280 said before that

00:52:23.880 I use blocking

00:52:24.560 for mental

00:52:25.480 health.

00:52:26.660 That's literally

00:52:27.480 true.

00:52:28.420 I'm not making

00:52:29.220 like a weird

00:52:29.780 analogy or

00:52:30.540 anything.

00:52:31.020 No, my

00:52:31.500 actual physical

00:52:33.280 state of mind

00:52:34.420 is improved by

00:52:36.360 blocking and I

00:52:37.240 can feel it

00:52:37.760 immediately.

00:52:39.080 And the

00:52:39.560 inability to

00:52:40.280 block would

00:52:40.760 bother me all

00:52:41.500 day long if

00:52:42.440 something just

00:52:42.940 sat there and

00:52:44.100 I couldn't do

00:52:44.560 anything about

00:52:45.080 it.

00:52:45.780 So even though

00:52:46.300 blocking doesn't

00:52:47.520 make other

00:52:48.180 people not see

00:52:48.940 it so much, it

00:52:50.240 makes me feel

00:52:50.900 good.

00:52:51.800 So I would say

00:52:52.800 that my mental

00:52:53.640 health would

00:52:54.300 absolutely, no

00:52:55.780 doubt about it,

00:52:57.140 suffer.

00:52:57.820 And that

00:52:58.900 muting would

00:53:00.100 not be nearly

00:53:01.420 as satisfying.

00:53:02.800 That's my

00:53:03.360 first take.

00:53:04.600 However, you

00:53:05.860 know what I

00:53:06.220 say about

00:53:06.620 things that

00:53:07.100 can be tested.

00:53:08.820 I should not

00:53:09.860 have an opinion

00:53:10.560 because it

00:53:11.700 could be

00:53:11.980 tested.

00:53:12.920 It can be

00:53:13.360 reversed.

00:53:14.580 So if you

00:53:15.540 can test it

00:53:16.340 and you just

00:53:17.600 find out, did

00:53:18.820 it work for

00:53:19.280 me?

00:53:19.640 Did it work

00:53:20.000 for most

00:53:20.440 people but

00:53:20.980 not me?

00:53:22.280 I'd like to

00:53:22.840 know.

00:53:23.760 So I would

00:53:24.420 love Elon

00:53:25.180 Musk to show

00:53:26.540 the rest of

00:53:27.380 the country

00:53:28.220 how decisions

00:53:29.760 are made.

00:53:31.540 First he

00:53:32.140 said, I'm

00:53:32.680 going to do

00:53:33.040 this thing,

00:53:33.980 but you

00:53:34.440 have to know

00:53:35.020 in the back

00:53:35.500 of your head,

00:53:36.200 and I'd like

00:53:37.120 to hear him

00:53:37.440 say it

00:53:37.700 directly, but

00:53:38.560 you know he's

00:53:39.060 thinking it.

00:53:39.620 This is one

00:53:40.340 where mind

00:53:41.360 reading is

00:53:41.840 easy because

00:53:43.180 everybody smart

00:53:44.040 thinks the

00:53:44.760 same way.

00:53:46.460 If you can

00:53:47.260 test it, and

00:53:48.700 if it's

00:53:49.040 reversible, which

00:53:50.460 software is,

00:53:52.580 test it.

00:53:53.080 So I'm

00:53:54.460 not going

00:53:54.720 to say

00:53:54.900 yes or

00:53:55.360 no, just

00:53:55.960 give it a

00:53:56.360 test.

00:53:56.780 If it

00:53:57.000 works for

00:53:57.320 everybody but

00:53:57.920 me, I'll

00:53:58.380 say go do

00:53:58.900 it.

00:54:00.220 I'm not

00:54:00.840 your boss.

00:54:02.360 If it

00:54:02.640 works for

00:54:02.960 you, I

00:54:03.740 would be

00:54:03.960 happy for

00:54:04.380 you.

00:54:06.860 Honestly, I

00:54:07.560 worry that I

00:54:08.160 would quit

00:54:08.680 using X

00:54:10.420 because if I

00:54:13.080 have to deal

00:54:13.540 with Ben

00:54:14.000 Garrison

00:54:14.420 comics on

00:54:15.360 my timeline

00:54:16.120 again, I

00:54:18.160 don't know

00:54:18.580 if I'd

00:54:18.880 stay.

00:54:20.000 I honestly

00:54:20.520 don't.

00:54:21.660 Because that

00:54:22.280 would be, it

00:54:23.440 would make me

00:54:23.860 feel bad every

00:54:24.740 time I

00:54:25.100 logged on.

00:54:26.880 But by, you

00:54:27.820 know, blocking

00:54:28.400 the people who

00:54:29.380 send that, I

00:54:30.420 don't see it.

00:54:31.600 Would muting

00:54:32.280 do as well?

00:54:33.500 I doubt it.

00:54:35.220 But I'd be

00:54:35.960 willing to see.

00:54:38.120 All right.

00:54:41.780 Let's see what

00:54:42.500 else has

00:54:42.760 happened.

00:54:43.740 So the news

00:54:44.540 is that De

00:54:45.480 Santos is

00:54:46.060 barely trying

00:54:46.940 these days.

00:54:47.720 There's a

00:54:49.080 clip in which

00:54:49.620 he's taken a

00:54:50.240 little bit of

00:54:50.740 context, I

00:54:51.660 would say.

00:54:53.520 He said,

00:54:54.520 quote, unless

00:54:54.820 you're kissing,

00:54:56.300 he was talking

00:54:56.920 about Trump, he

00:54:57.660 says, unless

00:54:58.080 you're kissing

00:54:58.640 his rear end,

00:54:59.920 they'll call

00:55:00.320 you a rhino. 0.75

00:55:01.800 And then he

00:55:02.640 referred to,

00:55:03.920 quote, listless

00:55:04.660 vessels who

00:55:05.900 follow whatever

00:55:06.680 comes down the

00:55:07.420 pike on truth 0.91

00:55:08.440 social every

00:55:09.240 morning.

00:55:10.340 And people

00:55:10.880 said, are

00:55:12.840 you running to

00:55:13.580 get those votes

00:55:14.500 or to alienate

00:55:16.120 Republicans?

00:55:17.720 That feels

00:55:18.880 like exactly

00:55:19.520 the wrong

00:55:19.980 approach compared

00:55:21.500 to the smartest

00:55:22.640 guy in the

00:55:23.200 race, Vivek.

00:55:26.300 He just says

00:55:27.240 good things

00:55:27.800 about Republicans

00:55:29.180 and people in

00:55:30.120 general and

00:55:30.880 even Trump.

00:55:33.240 Does anybody

00:55:34.080 hate Vivek

00:55:35.060 because you

00:55:35.900 think he

00:55:36.220 doesn't like

00:55:36.800 you?

00:55:37.580 No.

00:55:38.440 No.

00:55:38.920 He seems to

00:55:39.420 like people.

00:55:40.680 He even

00:55:40.960 seemed to

00:55:41.360 like the

00:55:41.880 LGBTQ

00:55:42.540 reporter who

00:55:44.700 there was a

00:55:45.140 famous viral

00:55:45.880 thing of them

00:55:46.660 having a

00:55:47.060 discussion.

00:55:47.820 He seemed

00:55:48.240 to like her.

00:55:49.580 He seems to

00:55:50.140 like people.

00:55:51.420 That's a real

00:55:51.880 good quality

00:55:52.840 in a president.

00:55:54.540 But DeSantis

00:55:55.200 did a little

00:55:56.740 bit of the

00:55:57.200 deplorables

00:55:57.840 mistake.

00:55:58.920 I would say

00:55:59.440 he's taken a

00:56:00.120 little bit

00:56:00.500 out of context.

00:56:02.100 If you heard

00:56:02.860 it in context,

00:56:03.760 it wouldn't

00:56:04.100 hit you the

00:56:04.540 same.

00:56:05.700 Out of context,

00:56:06.700 it does.

00:56:07.220 It's more

00:56:07.600 grating.

00:56:08.660 In context,

00:56:09.420 he's making

00:56:09.880 a point.

00:56:11.020 You could

00:56:11.420 argue about it.

00:56:12.520 But I think

00:56:13.180 it was a mistake.

00:56:14.840 I would say

00:56:15.240 it was a mistake

00:56:15.840 to word it

00:56:16.260 that way.

00:56:16.920 Certainly

00:56:17.260 mocking people

00:56:18.160 who use

00:56:18.580 truth social

00:56:19.300 is just

00:56:19.760 a big

00:56:20.080 mistake.

00:56:21.940 So,

00:56:22.620 yeah,

00:56:23.260 it doesn't

00:56:23.620 look like

00:56:24.060 he's serious

00:56:24.620 about any of

00:56:25.080 this.

00:56:26.520 I don't know

00:56:27.200 what it,

00:56:27.540 I feel like

00:56:28.420 he already

00:56:28.860 knows that

00:56:29.540 he's wasting

00:56:30.060 his time.

00:56:31.320 He acts

00:56:31.920 like a person

00:56:32.500 who's smart

00:56:33.040 enough to

00:56:33.500 know none

00:56:33.880 of this

00:56:34.120 will help

00:56:34.540 him.

00:56:37.460 All right.

00:56:39.860 Was it

00:56:40.400 the Wall

00:56:40.700 Street Journal,

00:56:41.400 I think,

00:56:42.480 who was

00:56:42.780 reporting that

00:56:43.480 the war

00:56:44.440 in Ukraine

00:56:44.980 could go

00:56:45.440 on for

00:56:45.740 years

00:56:46.280 because

00:56:47.120 neither

00:56:49.260 side has

00:56:49.880 a clear

00:56:51.080 goal that's

00:56:52.560 attainable.

00:56:53.940 So,

00:56:54.480 they both

00:56:54.900 have goals,

00:56:55.940 but they're

00:56:57.000 not attainable.

00:56:57.960 You know,

00:56:58.100 Russia's not 0.99

00:56:58.620 going to own

00:56:59.000 all of

00:56:59.320 Ukraine.

00:57:00.620 Ukraine's

00:57:01.100 not going

00:57:01.400 to get

00:57:01.600 its land

00:57:01.980 back.

00:57:03.140 So,

00:57:03.520 how do you

00:57:04.160 ever have

00:57:04.580 peace?

00:57:05.560 And so,

00:57:05.880 the Wall

00:57:06.100 Street Journal

00:57:06.500 is saying

00:57:06.940 it could be

00:57:07.420 years of war.

00:57:08.060 Do you think

00:57:09.620 we're that

00:57:10.040 dumb?

00:57:11.100 Are we going

00:57:11.700 to do this

00:57:12.120 again?

00:57:13.480 If we

00:57:14.520 know we

00:57:14.960 can end

00:57:15.340 it in a

00:57:15.800 day,

00:57:16.520 and honestly

00:57:17.200 we can.

00:57:19.140 When I say

00:57:19.880 we,

00:57:20.560 I think

00:57:21.080 Vivek

00:57:21.520 could.

00:57:22.920 I think

00:57:23.240 maybe

00:57:23.500 DeSantis

00:57:23.940 could.

00:57:25.040 I think

00:57:25.380 Trump

00:57:25.660 could.

00:57:27.320 I don't

00:57:27.840 know how

00:57:28.160 many of

00:57:28.480 the others

00:57:28.840 could,

00:57:29.360 but maybe

00:57:30.140 Mike Pence

00:57:31.480 could.

00:57:31.840 I don't

00:57:32.040 know.

00:57:32.660 But it

00:57:33.060 seems pretty

00:57:33.500 doable to

00:57:34.040 me.

00:57:34.480 I'm pretty

00:57:34.800 sure I

00:57:35.080 could do

00:57:35.340 it myself

00:57:35.940 if I

00:57:37.040 were

00:57:37.160 president.

00:57:38.660 It looks

00:57:39.300 so doable

00:57:39.900 that I

00:57:40.880 don't believe

00:57:41.200 any of

00:57:41.480 this.

00:57:41.660 And you

00:57:43.100 know what's

00:57:43.960 wrong with

00:57:44.380 the framing?

00:57:46.300 Did you see

00:57:46.800 what's wrong

00:57:47.200 with the

00:57:47.460 framing?

00:57:48.080 I'll say

00:57:48.620 the framing

00:57:49.020 again.

00:57:49.340 You tell

00:57:49.580 me what's

00:57:49.880 wrong with

00:57:50.240 it.

00:57:51.400 That neither

00:57:52.560 Russia nor 0.96

00:57:53.260 Ukraine have

00:57:54.980 objectives that

00:57:56.020 are both

00:57:56.480 clearly stated,

00:57:58.280 I want this,

00:57:59.380 but also

00:58:00.080 reasonably

00:58:00.660 attainable.

00:58:02.260 So they're

00:58:02.540 saying that

00:58:03.200 conflicting

00:58:05.400 objectives are

00:58:08.020 the problem.

00:58:08.540 do you see

00:58:10.600 what's wrong

00:58:11.020 with that

00:58:11.340 framing?

00:58:13.880 I want to

00:58:14.640 see if it

00:58:15.000 just jumps

00:58:15.480 out to

00:58:15.800 anybody.

00:58:16.820 What's

00:58:17.120 wrong with

00:58:17.440 that framing?

00:58:20.320 It's pure

00:58:21.020 propaganda,

00:58:22.180 first of all.

00:58:24.900 Oh my

00:58:25.500 God, it

00:58:25.900 worked.

00:58:27.180 Oh my

00:58:27.580 God, it

00:58:28.160 worked.

00:58:29.760 They're

00:58:30.200 diverting you

00:58:30.860 from the

00:58:31.180 obvious and

00:58:31.720 it worked.

00:58:33.180 Oh my

00:58:33.740 God, I'm

00:58:35.080 having a

00:58:35.480 moment here

00:58:35.900 where I'm

00:58:36.260 actually

00:58:36.560 horrified.

00:58:37.140 I'm

00:58:38.640 fucking

00:58:39.100 horrified.

00:58:41.480 You're

00:58:42.000 going to

00:58:42.100 be real

00:58:42.420 mad when

00:58:42.840 I tell

00:58:43.140 you.

00:58:44.800 When they

00:58:45.500 frame it as

00:58:46.540 Ukraine and

00:58:47.840 Russia want 0.96

00:58:49.940 things but

00:58:50.600 they're having

00:58:50.920 trouble getting

00:58:51.520 them, here's

00:58:52.980 the part you're

00:58:53.460 missing.

00:58:54.720 Who the

00:58:55.100 fuck cares 0.72

00:58:55.920 what either

00:58:56.380 of them

00:58:56.640 want?

00:58:57.700 Who the

00:58:58.260 fuck cares?

00:59:01.300 No.

00:59:01.740 If the

00:59:02.120 United States

00:59:02.760 wants them to

00:59:03.360 stop fighting,

00:59:03.980 we're going

00:59:04.200 to make them

00:59:04.540 stop.

00:59:05.640 That's it.

00:59:07.140 I don't

00:59:07.900 care if

00:59:08.200 Ukraine wants

00:59:08.820 it.

00:59:09.400 I don't

00:59:09.660 care what

00:59:09.940 they want.

00:59:10.880 I don't

00:59:11.180 care what

00:59:11.520 Putin wants.

00:59:13.200 How did

00:59:13.580 you all

00:59:14.020 miss that?

00:59:15.280 Did they

00:59:15.680 do such a

00:59:16.300 good job

00:59:17.480 of propaganda

00:59:18.160 that every

00:59:19.300 one of you

00:59:19.720 missed that?

00:59:21.920 They made

00:59:22.680 you think

00:59:23.100 that it

00:59:23.680 matters what

00:59:24.320 they think.

00:59:25.240 It doesn't

00:59:25.720 matter what

00:59:26.080 they think.

00:59:26.760 They did

00:59:27.120 the same

00:59:27.460 thing with

00:59:27.820 Mexico.

00:59:29.440 Do you

00:59:29.580 remember when

00:59:30.220 everybody said,

00:59:31.800 well, the

00:59:32.000 Mexican

00:59:32.340 government's

00:59:33.020 never going

00:59:33.400 to agree to

00:59:34.220 our military

00:59:35.320 going in and

00:59:36.120 operating

00:59:36.560 against the

00:59:37.080 cartels.

00:59:37.840 The

00:59:38.260 Mexican

00:59:38.620 government's

00:59:39.200 never going

00:59:39.580 to agree.

00:59:40.460 What's wrong

00:59:40.860 with that

00:59:41.180 framing?

00:59:42.420 Who the

00:59:42.980 fuck cares 0.72

00:59:44.080 what the

00:59:44.760 Mexican

00:59:45.120 government

00:59:45.620 wants?

00:59:46.960 It's not

00:59:47.680 up to them.

00:59:48.500 They don't

00:59:48.860 have a

00:59:49.180 fucking

00:59:49.460 vote.

00:59:50.920 We have

00:59:51.560 the military

00:59:52.160 of the

00:59:52.380 United States

00:59:52.960 and we're

00:59:53.300 under attack.

00:59:54.720 The Mexican 0.51

00:59:55.580 government,

00:59:56.560 zero vote.

00:59:58.600 We're wasting

00:59:59.440 our time and

01:00:00.080 treasure in

01:00:00.760 Ukraine and

01:00:01.680 it's costing

01:00:02.320 us big time.

01:00:03.400 Does Ukraine

01:00:03.980 have a vote

01:00:04.520 in that?

01:00:04.980 No.

01:00:05.160 They don't

01:00:06.800 vote in the

01:00:07.420 United States.

01:00:08.340 Does Putin

01:00:08.840 have a vote?

01:00:09.740 Nope.

01:00:10.400 Nope.

01:00:10.840 Not a vote.

01:00:11.880 No.

01:00:12.340 If we get a

01:00:13.000 president who

01:00:13.800 can actually

01:00:14.320 see past

01:00:15.200 narratives,

01:00:17.140 Vivek can,

01:00:18.520 Trump can,

01:00:19.600 probably several

01:00:20.300 others can,

01:00:20.960 but I'll just

01:00:21.580 mention two.

01:00:23.120 You need

01:00:23.720 somebody who

01:00:24.160 can see past

01:00:24.880 that framing

01:00:25.860 and we do

01:00:27.180 have two.

01:00:28.260 I don't know

01:00:28.620 if we have

01:00:28.940 more than

01:00:29.260 them.

01:00:29.380 Actually,

01:00:30.880 RFK

01:00:31.560 Jr.

01:00:31.820 We have

01:00:33.220 three candidates

01:00:34.000 who can

01:00:34.500 see past

01:00:35.500 the propaganda

01:00:36.980 framing,

01:00:37.820 but I am

01:00:38.920 horrified that

01:00:39.700 none of you

01:00:40.160 did, or at

01:00:41.100 least in the

01:00:41.540 comments you

01:00:42.000 didn't mention

01:00:42.400 it.

01:00:42.960 Now that I've

01:00:43.680 mentioned it,

01:00:45.080 do you see

01:00:45.780 it?

01:00:47.660 Am I right?

01:00:49.460 You see it,

01:00:50.260 right?

01:00:50.620 You see that the

01:00:51.400 framing of what

01:00:52.120 they care about

01:00:53.060 is just

01:00:54.120 absolutely,

01:00:56.880 it should be a

01:00:57.540 crime.

01:00:57.840 the fact that

01:00:59.600 they could

01:00:59.900 even guide

01:01:00.920 your mind

01:01:01.480 in that

01:01:01.800 direction is

01:01:02.480 just crazy.

01:01:04.460 Now this is

01:01:05.280 a subset of

01:01:06.560 a reframe

01:01:07.620 in my book.

01:01:10.140 One of the

01:01:10.740 reframes in

01:01:11.340 Reframe Your

01:01:11.880 Brain,

01:01:12.220 available now

01:01:12.680 on Kindle,

01:01:13.480 is that you

01:01:15.340 don't know

01:01:15.800 who has the

01:01:16.320 power.

01:01:18.040 And we

01:01:18.640 often get

01:01:19.320 lost in

01:01:20.220 an assumption

01:01:20.920 of who has

01:01:21.520 the power.

01:01:22.900 Ukraine

01:01:23.260 doesn't have

01:01:23.720 any power.

01:01:25.320 Russia

01:01:25.520 doesn't have

01:01:25.940 any power.

01:01:27.840 And our

01:01:28.480 government

01:01:28.780 doesn't have

01:01:29.240 any power.

01:01:30.940 You do.

01:01:32.780 You and I

01:01:33.520 do,

01:01:34.080 collectively.

01:01:34.960 We can

01:01:35.520 decide what

01:01:36.100 our government

01:01:36.520 does just

01:01:37.180 by answering

01:01:37.960 polls that

01:01:39.280 say,

01:01:39.700 don't do

01:01:39.960 that.

01:01:40.800 You know,

01:01:41.040 if it gets

01:01:41.340 to 80%,

01:01:42.180 the government

01:01:43.500 can't do it.

01:01:44.560 There are

01:01:44.820 very few

01:01:45.400 things your

01:01:45.820 government can

01:01:46.340 do if 80%

01:01:47.160 of the public

01:01:47.560 is against it,

01:01:48.540 because they

01:01:49.000 need to get

01:01:49.400 re-elected and

01:01:50.120 stuff.

01:01:51.140 So the

01:01:52.320 American public

01:01:53.020 has the

01:01:53.400 power,

01:01:54.620 but the

01:01:55.140 media has

01:01:55.840 cut you off

01:01:56.560 from it by

01:01:57.260 this kind

01:01:58.040 of narrative.

01:01:58.960 This kind

01:01:59.620 of narrative

01:02:00.100 just takes

01:02:00.760 all your

01:02:01.040 power away

01:02:01.640 because you

01:02:02.100 don't know

01:02:02.420 you have

01:02:02.680 the power.

01:02:03.780 And you're

01:02:04.160 like arguing

01:02:04.740 about stuff.

01:02:05.740 Oh,

01:02:06.120 Ukraine,

01:02:06.640 this,

01:02:06.920 Putin,

01:02:07.160 that,

01:02:07.320 they're not

01:02:07.800 relevant.

01:02:09.080 They are

01:02:09.460 not relevant.

01:02:10.540 Oh,

01:02:10.800 Europe,

01:02:11.260 not relevant.

01:02:12.540 The Great

01:02:13.000 Britain wants 0.96

01:02:13.500 not relevant.

01:02:14.980 Not relevant.

01:02:16.440 Military,

01:02:17.040 industrial,

01:02:17.360 complex,

01:02:18.100 they want,

01:02:18.660 well,

01:02:19.000 they're relevant,

01:02:19.600 unfortunately.

01:02:20.920 Shouldn't be,

01:02:22.040 but they are.

01:02:23.220 You can't be

01:02:24.100 serious.

01:02:24.580 citizens do

01:02:29.500 not have

01:02:29.980 the power

01:02:30.440 because they

01:02:31.560 believe they

01:02:32.020 do not.

01:02:34.400 So that

01:02:35.000 doesn't seem

01:02:35.480 to be

01:02:35.720 changing.

01:02:36.880 So at

01:02:37.120 the moment

01:02:37.420 they don't,

01:02:38.580 but it

01:02:38.940 would require

01:02:39.440 only a

01:02:40.200 reframe of

01:02:40.960 how they

01:02:41.280 think before

01:02:42.620 they would.

01:02:43.540 And all

01:02:43.960 you would

01:02:44.220 have to

01:02:44.500 do is

01:02:45.280 tell the

01:02:46.280 people,

01:02:46.820 you know,

01:02:47.560 if the

01:02:48.040 United States

01:02:48.640 wants to

01:02:49.100 end this,

01:02:49.500 we can do

01:02:49.840 it tomorrow.

01:02:50.900 What do

01:02:51.180 you think?

01:02:51.580 Do you

01:02:51.740 want to

01:02:51.920 end it?

01:02:52.840 You don't

01:02:53.140 think you

01:02:53.440 would get

01:02:53.680 80%

01:02:54.180 saying,

01:02:54.780 well,

01:02:54.860 I didn't

01:02:55.080 realize

01:02:55.340 that was

01:02:55.580 an option.

01:02:56.300 No,

01:02:56.540 it is.

01:02:57.180 It's

01:02:57.580 actually

01:02:57.820 an option.

01:02:58.820 You just

01:02:59.240 ignore the

01:02:59.780 interests of

01:03:00.360 the other

01:03:00.680 people because

01:03:01.440 you can and

01:03:02.220 they're not

01:03:02.520 relevant to

01:03:03.000 you and

01:03:04.080 then just

01:03:04.420 end it.

01:03:05.460 You just

01:03:06.080 tell both

01:03:06.560 sides you'll

01:03:07.040 crush them.

01:03:08.720 You'll

01:03:09.140 crush them

01:03:09.640 if they

01:03:11.260 don't stop

01:03:11.680 right now.

01:03:13.760 I think

01:03:14.580 Trump's the

01:03:15.100 only one who

01:03:15.480 could sell

01:03:15.920 it, but

01:03:17.180 Vivek could

01:03:17.880 say it.

01:03:19.000 I mean,

01:03:19.260 maybe he

01:03:19.620 could sell

01:03:19.920 it, but

01:03:20.240 Trump could

01:03:20.620 sell it.

01:03:22.260 All right.

01:03:23.440 What else

01:03:25.240 is going

01:03:25.540 on?

01:03:26.720 That's

01:03:27.160 about it.

01:03:28.320 I don't

01:03:28.800 think you

01:03:29.100 need much

01:03:29.480 more.

01:03:29.940 That's a

01:03:30.200 good solid

01:03:30.780 hour of

01:03:31.340 content you

01:03:33.100 won't see

01:03:33.480 anywhere else

01:03:34.200 and not

01:03:35.920 too many

01:03:36.580 commercials.

01:03:38.180 All right.

01:03:38.600 I saw

01:03:41.580 that the

01:03:43.480 famous

01:03:44.260 Twitter

01:03:44.560 account

01:03:44.940 CatTurd

01:03:45.560 was

01:03:47.480 complaining

01:03:47.960 about the

01:03:48.460 blocking

01:03:48.760 feature and

01:03:50.820 Elon Musk

01:03:51.480 blocked him

01:03:52.160 and then

01:03:53.760 Elon tweeted

01:03:54.440 that he's

01:03:54.860 blocking people

01:03:55.540 who are

01:03:55.740 complaining

01:03:56.120 about

01:03:56.420 blocking.

01:03:58.460 He said,

01:03:59.380 let's see

01:03:59.780 how you

01:04:00.020 like it.

01:04:01.400 And I

01:04:01.680 thought,

01:04:02.280 you know,

01:04:02.980 yeah, I

01:04:03.360 love it.

01:04:03.860 I love it.

01:04:05.340 I don't,

01:04:06.280 even though I

01:04:06.960 don't love

01:04:07.300 the blocking,

01:04:08.720 I just

01:04:09.160 love the

01:04:09.560 fact that

01:04:09.900 he blocked

01:04:10.280 people for

01:04:10.820 complaining

01:04:11.240 about blocking

01:04:11.860 so they

01:04:12.720 can see

01:04:13.020 how they

01:04:13.300 feel about

01:04:13.720 being blocked.

01:04:16.880 He's

01:04:17.340 helping.

01:04:18.120 He's

01:04:18.420 helping.

01:04:20.360 The second

01:04:21.080 funny thing

01:04:21.720 about that

01:04:22.180 is I

01:04:22.480 blocked

01:04:22.820 CatTurd

01:04:23.420 a long

01:04:23.740 time ago

01:04:24.200 because he's

01:04:24.740 a fucking 0.88

01:04:25.060 idiot. 0.79

01:04:27.960 I don't

01:04:28.280 know,

01:04:28.460 maybe you

01:04:29.520 like him,

01:04:29.920 maybe you

01:04:30.200 follow him

01:04:30.640 personally.

01:04:32.500 He's an

01:04:32.900 idiot. 0.79

01:04:33.920 That's my

01:04:34.480 take.

01:04:37.300 And I

01:04:37.980 wouldn't want

01:04:38.320 to see any

01:04:38.760 of his

01:04:39.040 tweets again

01:04:39.700 except that

01:04:40.340 one was

01:04:40.720 funny.

01:04:42.080 James

01:04:42.640 Wood is

01:04:44.620 making some

01:04:45.120 news.

01:04:47.820 I saw a

01:04:48.700 video from

01:04:49.100 him,

01:04:49.760 a video of

01:04:50.720 some youth

01:04:52.420 attacking cars

01:04:54.440 in Philadelphia

01:04:55.380 and he

01:04:57.340 tweeted the

01:04:57.880 other day

01:04:58.220 that this

01:04:58.580 isn't fixable.

01:05:00.460 Does that

01:05:00.680 sound familiar?

01:05:02.300 This isn't

01:05:02.840 fixable.

01:05:03.280 Now, I

01:05:06.860 don't think

01:05:07.340 he follows

01:05:07.900 me, well,

01:05:10.140 he probably

01:05:10.620 caught the

01:05:11.020 headlines.

01:05:11.980 Don't you

01:05:12.220 think James

01:05:13.400 Wood's

01:05:13.700 caught the

01:05:14.160 headlines about

01:05:14.760 my cancellation?

01:05:15.960 Probably.

01:05:16.580 Most people

01:05:17.040 did.

01:05:19.320 But it's

01:05:20.160 not fixable.

01:05:21.520 Where have

01:05:21.940 you heard

01:05:22.220 that before

01:05:22.740 besides me?

01:05:24.920 Who is

01:05:26.020 another person

01:05:26.800 who said

01:05:27.200 it's not

01:05:27.600 fixable?

01:05:29.260 You have

01:05:29.880 to know

01:05:30.180 when to

01:05:30.580 hold them

01:05:31.240 and know

01:05:31.580 when to

01:05:31.880 fold them,

01:05:32.300 right?

01:05:33.980 Alex

01:05:34.420 Jones,

01:05:34.980 Chris

01:05:35.180 Rock?

01:05:35.660 Really?

01:05:36.080 Chris

01:05:36.280 Rock?

01:05:36.940 I don't

01:05:37.200 know about

01:05:37.500 that.

01:05:40.180 Alex

01:05:40.620 Jones,

01:05:41.000 Bill

01:05:41.180 Mitchell?

01:05:41.960 No.

01:05:42.860 Tim

01:05:43.120 Poole

01:05:43.360 said it?

01:05:44.660 Yeah.

01:05:45.380 And by

01:05:45.760 the way,

01:05:46.060 there's

01:05:46.220 nothing wrong

01:05:46.740 with that.

01:05:47.640 There's

01:05:48.080 nothing wrong

01:05:48.540 with that

01:05:48.780 opinion.

01:05:49.100 It's not

01:05:49.480 cruel.

01:05:51.400 It's just

01:05:51.780 a statement

01:05:52.260 of what

01:05:53.440 you think

01:05:53.780 is happening.

01:05:54.840 So I

01:05:55.420 would like

01:05:55.960 cities not

01:05:57.400 to fall

01:05:58.100 into decay.

01:05:59.460 I would

01:05:59.780 like everybody

01:06:00.280 to have

01:06:00.580 jobs and

01:06:01.460 not walk

01:06:02.100 on

01:06:02.340 bums

01:06:03.740 in the

01:06:04.040 street.

01:06:05.320 But it

01:06:06.360 doesn't look

01:06:06.780 like it's

01:06:07.100 going to

01:06:07.280 happen.

01:06:08.580 And I

01:06:09.140 would guess

01:06:09.520 that the

01:06:09.920 future is

01:06:10.480 building new

01:06:11.120 cities,

01:06:12.180 as I said

01:06:13.660 in the

01:06:13.860 beginning.

01:06:14.480 And I

01:06:15.000 think the

01:06:15.280 old ones

01:06:15.640 just have

01:06:16.020 to go.

01:06:16.420 because I

01:06:19.680 think they

01:06:20.740 need to

01:06:21.100 bottom and

01:06:22.880 then probably

01:06:23.720 they'll just

01:06:24.100 turn into

01:06:24.520 something else.

01:06:25.120 But I

01:06:25.260 think cities

01:06:25.720 are probably

01:06:26.140 on a

01:06:26.500 long-term

01:06:27.280 decline.

01:06:29.280 And I

01:06:29.960 don't think

01:06:30.280 we should

01:06:30.540 necessarily

01:06:31.240 try to

01:06:31.720 fix them

01:06:32.160 if they're

01:06:32.560 not

01:06:32.740 interested

01:06:33.120 in fixing

01:06:33.600 themselves.

01:06:36.780 So I

01:06:37.360 would say

01:06:37.760 get away

01:06:38.440 from cities

01:06:39.440 if you

01:06:40.920 can.

01:06:41.100 I should

01:06:42.840 do a

01:06:43.040 podcast

01:06:43.300 with

01:06:43.820 Peter

01:06:44.340 Zayn.

01:06:45.560 I don't

01:06:45.840 think he

01:06:46.120 does

01:06:46.320 guests,

01:06:46.800 does he?

01:06:47.760 I think he

01:06:48.160 just does

01:06:48.540 his own

01:06:48.820 thing.

01:06:49.500 He's very

01:06:49.940 interesting.

01:06:51.180 But I

01:06:52.700 noted, and

01:06:53.260 I'm glad you

01:06:53.900 mentioned him.

01:06:54.960 So I

01:06:55.620 mentioned the

01:06:56.060 other day

01:06:56.340 that Peter

01:06:56.680 Zayn said

01:06:57.300 that Russia's 0.89

01:06:58.280 real goal

01:06:59.020 with all

01:07:01.060 of its

01:07:01.360 aggressive

01:07:01.760 moves were

01:07:03.060 to make

01:07:03.600 sure they

01:07:03.940 controlled the

01:07:04.760 attack points

01:07:05.820 to defend

01:07:07.120 Russia.

01:07:08.680 And if you

01:07:09.240 look at

01:07:09.560 them, they

01:07:09.900 line up

01:07:10.640 very well

01:07:11.220 with the

01:07:11.560 most strategic

01:07:12.160 attack points.

01:07:13.780 Now his

01:07:14.160 take is if

01:07:15.160 you could

01:07:15.620 make, well,

01:07:17.580 I think I'm

01:07:18.180 saying too

01:07:18.880 much about

01:07:19.280 his take.

01:07:20.020 I'll say

01:07:20.300 it's my

01:07:20.600 take.

01:07:21.300 If that's

01:07:21.960 true, then

01:07:22.900 that would

01:07:23.180 suggest there's

01:07:23.860 a way to

01:07:24.260 deal with

01:07:24.580 Russia where

01:07:25.880 you say,

01:07:26.380 all right,

01:07:26.860 your problem

01:07:27.580 is these

01:07:28.200 choke points.

01:07:30.060 Maybe there's

01:07:30.560 some way,

01:07:31.860 short of a

01:07:32.520 war, that

01:07:33.540 you can get

01:07:34.100 some security

01:07:34.800 and we

01:07:35.760 can get

01:07:36.080 some security

01:07:36.720 and we're

01:07:37.940 not, nobody's

01:07:38.660 giving up

01:07:39.020 too much.

01:07:40.360 So that

01:07:41.060 would suggest

01:07:41.640 if the

01:07:42.000 Peter Zan

01:07:42.800 view of the

01:07:43.620 world is

01:07:44.600 right, it's

01:07:45.180 about those

01:07:45.620 choke points,

01:07:46.260 that gives

01:07:46.560 you something

01:07:46.960 to negotiate.

01:07:48.460 If the

01:07:49.040 Wall Street

01:07:49.420 Journal is

01:07:49.940 right, which

01:07:50.880 is a totally

01:07:51.440 different take,

01:07:52.440 and by the

01:07:52.820 way, never

01:07:53.460 mentioned the

01:07:54.820 choke point

01:07:55.400 issue, I've

01:07:55.960 never seen it

01:07:56.440 anywhere else

01:07:56.940 actually, if

01:07:58.120 it's true that

01:07:58.700 the goals are

01:07:59.680 amorphous and

01:08:01.360 impossible to

01:08:02.100 get, then you

01:08:02.640 can't have

01:08:03.060 peace.

01:08:03.880 So the

01:08:04.440 Wall Street

01:08:04.820 Journal article

01:08:05.480 looks like

01:08:06.020 an article

01:08:06.400 that was

01:08:07.020 written by

01:08:07.600 the military

01:08:08.100 industrial complex.

01:08:09.880 I'm not saying

01:08:10.700 it was, but it

01:08:11.820 reads like it.

01:08:12.740 Would you

01:08:13.260 agree?

01:08:14.280 It shows no

01:08:15.060 hope and

01:08:16.320 warns you that

01:08:17.060 the war will

01:08:17.560 take years.

01:08:19.060 Who benefits

01:08:19.860 from that?

01:08:21.620 Military

01:08:22.100 industrial complex.

01:08:23.600 Maybe the

01:08:24.000 neocons.

01:08:24.580 documents.

01:08:25.280 But as

01:08:26.400 much as I

01:08:26.920 think the

01:08:27.260 Wall Street

01:08:27.640 Journal is

01:08:28.580 one of the

01:08:30.000 best independent

01:08:31.080 vehicles for

01:08:32.740 news, and I'm

01:08:34.780 not going to

01:08:35.060 make an

01:08:35.340 accusation about

01:08:36.060 that specific

01:08:36.800 article, but

01:08:38.280 use your own

01:08:38.900 judgment.

01:08:40.760 There's another

01:08:41.540 view that would

01:08:42.980 say it's

01:08:43.360 negotiable, at

01:08:45.120 least two views,

01:08:46.380 and they

01:08:47.020 acted like

01:08:47.660 because it's

01:08:48.380 amorphous that

01:08:50.340 it can't be

01:08:50.800 negotiated.

01:08:51.360 The amorphous

01:08:53.020 part is really

01:08:53.800 not the

01:08:54.240 problem, and

01:08:55.440 I don't know

01:08:55.900 if they're just

01:08:56.320 bad at telling

01:08:57.900 you all the

01:08:58.400 context or if

01:09:00.440 they were

01:09:00.800 influenced by

01:09:01.380 the military

01:09:01.880 industrial complex,

01:09:03.100 right?

01:09:03.700 So those are

01:09:04.520 the questions

01:09:04.900 you would ask

01:09:05.400 about a story

01:09:05.920 like that.

01:09:09.120 All right.

01:09:13.640 Anybody

01:09:14.160 else got a

01:09:17.640 topic I

01:09:18.140 haven't talked

01:09:18.920 about?

01:09:21.360 You know,

01:09:29.060 one of the

01:09:29.340 things about

01:09:29.740 being a

01:09:30.100 public figure,

01:09:31.440 is there any

01:09:32.000 way to be a

01:09:32.480 public figure

01:09:33.140 and to not

01:09:34.760 be accused of

01:09:35.480 being anti-Semitic

01:09:36.740 at some point

01:09:37.960 in your career?

01:09:40.080 It's like

01:09:40.720 literally

01:09:41.100 unavoidable.

01:09:44.640 All right.

01:09:49.380 Yeah,

01:09:49.920 China's in 1.00

01:09:50.400 trouble.

01:09:51.360 15-minute

01:09:53.360 cities,

01:09:54.000 easy to

01:09:54.420 pacify.

01:09:55.820 So is

01:09:56.200 everybody,

01:09:56.720 everything else.

01:09:58.160 At this

01:09:58.780 point, as

01:09:59.280 long as the

01:09:59.660 government can

01:10:00.200 turn off your

01:10:00.740 money, which

01:10:01.480 they can do

01:10:02.000 any time they

01:10:02.540 want, they 0.61

01:10:04.340 have full

01:10:04.700 control already.

01:10:07.940 If the

01:10:08.580 government can

01:10:09.340 turn off your

01:10:10.440 money, they

01:10:11.440 already have

01:10:12.020 full control.

01:10:12.600 will the

01:10:17.040 next hurricane be

01:10:17.880 named

01:10:18.100 Gavin?

01:10:20.840 A, B, C,

01:10:21.920 D, E, F,

01:10:23.240 G, H, 1.00

01:10:24.440 no.

01:10:24.840 No.

01:10:27.980 It's going to

01:10:28.540 have to start

01:10:28.940 with the letter

01:10:29.380 I, right?

01:10:30.680 Because they

01:10:31.140 go in order.

01:10:35.400 Yeah, it'd have

01:10:35.980 to be

01:10:36.240 Lavin.

01:10:36.580 Yeah, Alex

01:10:39.460 Jones, I

01:10:40.080 don't know if

01:10:40.560 his, I

01:10:42.580 can't imagine

01:10:44.940 Can't imagine

01:10:45.820 lockdowns.

01:10:46.980 I can't

01:10:47.600 imagine another

01:10:48.360 school closing.

01:10:50.760 I just can't

01:10:51.240 imagine it.

01:10:51.720 Um, all
