Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2210 Scott Adams： It's A Newsy Day. Come Get Some. Bring Coffee

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

00:00:04.640 Oh, hello, Earthquake.

00:00:07.660 Good morning and welcome to the highlight of human civilization

00:00:12.340 where the light comes on just in time.

00:00:17.360 There we go. That's called... Oh, good.

00:00:20.000 The sound is good. Thank you for the sound

00:00:24.240 check there. And wouldn't you like to know

00:00:27.800 what happened at the debates last night and what people are thinking and what

00:00:31.920 the reframers are thinking and all that? Yes, it's here. It's here.

00:00:36.040 If you'd like to take your experience up a level, all you need is a cup or a mug

00:00:40.120 or a glass, a tanker of Charles Stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel

00:00:44.220 of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like

00:00:48.280 coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day

00:00:52.420 the thing that makes everything better. It's called the Simultaneous Sip. It happens now.

00:00:56.980 Go.

00:00:57.800 Oh, I have a request. Please don't talk forever

00:01:04.100 about my book. Aww.

00:01:06.620 All right, let's start with the book.

00:01:08.700 Book is

00:01:09.720 number... Well, a moment ago

00:01:12.280 it was number 11 on all of Amazon.

00:01:14.680 Do you know how many Kindle books

00:01:16.140 there are? Guess how many Kindle

00:01:18.200 books there are on Amazon.

00:01:20.040 48 million. That's just Kindle.

00:01:23.840 My book, in all its forms,

00:01:25.660 was number 11 on all of Amazon when I woke up this morning.

00:01:29.880 Still somewhere around there.

00:01:33.040 And

00:01:33.440 number one on

00:01:35.240 movers and shakers.

00:01:37.260 So, I appreciate the request not to talk about my book.

00:01:40.280 I wasn't going to do that, but

00:01:41.680 eh.

00:01:42.300 I guess I just don't like to be bullied on my own live stream.

00:01:46.800 So, if there's anything else you don't want me to talk about, I'll do that right away.

00:01:50.520 So, let's make that rule.

00:01:51.740 So, yes.

00:01:54.360 And, by the way, I've never seen so many people buy multiple copies of a book.

00:01:59.120 It's crazy.

00:02:00.720 It's really crazy.

00:02:01.900 People are buying two, ten copies.

00:02:05.900 I've never seen anything like it.

00:02:07.960 So, it's doing better than I even expected.

00:02:11.280 It's doing great.

00:02:12.860 So, we'll see.

00:02:13.660 Change in the world.

00:02:14.500 India reached the south pole of the moon 0.99

00:02:17.840 for apparently a discount price.

00:02:21.480 Didn't cost them too much to do it.

00:02:23.600 No country has ever successfully landed on the south pole of the moon.

00:02:27.260 And now you ask me, Scott,

00:02:29.280 why is the south pole of the moon important?

00:02:32.980 Well, there's some indication there's some ice there.

00:02:35.980 And if there's ice, there's water.

00:02:37.400 And if there's water, you can build a base.

00:02:39.160 And if you can build a base, you can control the entire Earth

00:02:41.640 with your superior space-based base, I guess.

00:02:46.900 You know, it's probably almost essential to survival

00:02:51.400 that the United States controls the moon.

00:02:57.240 Because whoever controls the moon seems like,

00:03:00.480 in the long, long run, you know, in your hundred-year span,

00:03:03.740 how in the world could you beat somebody who had a moon base?

00:03:07.700 I don't know. 0.95

00:03:08.140 I guess you'd kill all the supply places on Earth.

00:03:11.640 But anyway, it seems dangerous to let anybody else

00:03:14.480 have a base on the moon.

00:03:17.860 But if it had to be anybody, India would be just about my top choice. 1.00

00:03:22.700 So I love the fact that India is an ally of the United States.

00:03:27.900 I feel like if you had to pick an ally, you know,

00:03:31.580 if you pick, you know, Israel's a great ally, right?

00:03:34.860 But they're a little bit expensive, cause a little trouble, right?

00:03:40.760 You know, maybe no fault of their own, you might argue,

00:03:43.000 but, you know, not all of our allies are equally beneficial.

00:03:47.420 But I don't know how we could go into the next hundred years

00:03:50.680 without India being on our side. 1.00

00:03:53.960 It feels like that's just necessary.

00:03:56.180 So I'm glad they are.

00:03:57.140 We'll get to the debates, of course.

00:04:00.200 I'm just letting people stream in here, so we've got more people.

00:04:04.600 Dr. Jordan Peterson has an update.

00:04:07.860 You know, is it the College of Toronto or something like that?

00:04:12.200 But he's being required for his profession to keep his credentials in Canada.

00:04:20.560 He has to be retrained so that he doesn't say mean things about trans people

00:04:25.100 or probably about Trudeau.

00:04:28.200 And just think about this.

00:04:29.200 The people who decided that he needed to be re-educated

00:04:32.440 were appointed by Trudeau.

00:04:35.820 And Jordan Peterson is one of the most prominent critics of Trudeau.

00:04:39.120 So the people that Trudeau elected are now getting the revenge on him. 1.00

00:04:46.680 Canada is just fucked up. 0.99

00:04:49.280 I mean, I used to respect Canada, but honestly, I don't. 1.00

00:04:53.920 You know, I love Canadian people, of course.

00:04:56.740 Canadian people are just the coolest.

00:04:59.200 You know, I'll give you that.

00:05:00.840 I'll give you that the people of Canada, pretty cool country, no doubt about it.

00:05:06.220 But your government?

00:05:08.080 My God.

00:05:09.540 I mean, ours is terrible, too, at the moment.

00:05:11.540 But I used to think, well, no matter how bad things...

00:05:15.060 How many of you have ever had this thought?

00:05:17.880 No matter how bad things are in the United States,

00:05:21.280 you could always go to Canada.

00:05:23.400 Like, that was my backup school.

00:05:25.960 Right?

00:05:26.600 It's not really the backup school anymore, is it?

00:05:28.880 Because it looks like weaponization of the government to me.

00:05:33.620 To me, it looks like free speech is gone, weaponized government,

00:05:39.200 you know, mass surveillance, cutting off your bank account if you're...

00:05:42.580 That is not a country I want to move to.

00:05:45.900 So good work destroying a brand that took you hundreds of years to create.

00:05:52.220 Name one country that had a better brand than Canada.

00:05:58.140 Can you even think of anything that anybody criticized Canada for 10 years ago?

00:06:03.340 10 years ago, nobody had a single bad word to say about Canada.

00:06:08.940 It was just like a smaller America, but cooler.

00:06:11.880 You know, cooler physically, but also the people seemed to be more chill.

00:06:16.680 And now it just looks like some horrible thing happened there with the government.

00:06:20.520 All right, well, let's watch this Dr. Jordan Peterson thing,

00:06:25.180 because I think we need to be unified to the degree it helps,

00:06:30.280 because he wants to give them as much attention as he can.

00:06:35.800 This is one of his tweets from Dr. Peterson.

00:06:39.380 So they want to re-educate him, effectively train him. 1.00

00:06:42.760 And he says, train me, you bastards, and watch what happens. 0.99

00:06:45.880 Now, suppose, legally, he's required to go to training. 0.99

00:06:53.200 Could we get a video of that?

00:06:55.940 Could you possibly give me a more entertaining scenario

00:07:00.420 than Jordan Peterson being retrained against his will?

00:07:06.320 You know, I would watch that show all day long.

00:07:09.040 If you could make a special out of this, number one.

00:07:12.200 I mean, please, right, please.

00:07:15.280 And, you know, my suggestion in these situations is embrace and amplify.

00:07:21.860 I just heard from somebody who took some corporate training

00:07:24.640 and used the technique of embracing and amplifying.

00:07:28.620 In other words, agreeing with it too much

00:07:30.620 to the point where it all falls apart.

00:07:33.960 Apparently, he was not welcome.

00:07:35.320 He became unwelcome in the class

00:07:38.740 because he was agreeing too much

00:07:40.760 to the point where everybody was like, this is crazy.

00:07:45.320 Yeah, it is.

00:07:46.100 Yeah, that was the point.

00:07:47.100 It's crazy.

00:07:48.920 All right.

00:07:52.080 Lionsgate apparently is bringing back Mass,

00:07:55.120 their movie studio.

00:07:57.880 But at first I thought, oh, here's the one we need to boycott.

00:08:01.580 Because you've got to take out the first company,

00:08:03.340 that the first big company that, you know, brings back masks,

00:08:08.620 I think they have to be bankrupted.

00:08:11.300 It doesn't matter who it is.

00:08:12.700 It could be your most beloved company.

00:08:14.720 If you want your freedom,

00:08:16.620 you have to destroy the first company that caves.

00:08:19.720 So you have to put the pressure on.

00:08:21.820 But it turns out Lionsgate was requiring masks

00:08:25.460 in a few floors of one office

00:08:29.260 because there was a little outbreak there.

00:08:34.700 It's not the one I want to do, right?

00:08:37.580 If they had said the whole company,

00:08:39.540 everybody required,

00:08:40.900 I'd be like, okay, you know, it's go time.

00:08:44.460 But I feel like I need a little more than

00:08:46.700 two floors of one building temporarily.

00:08:50.400 Like, I don't like it.

00:08:51.880 But, you know, they're afraid.

00:08:54.060 It's them.

00:08:54.600 It's not me.

00:08:56.520 I just want a big company to say masks are required.

00:09:00.640 Then we take them out.

00:09:02.360 Is everybody on board?

00:09:04.560 That we have to boycott the first big company

00:09:07.200 that requires masks of its customers or its employees.

00:09:11.240 Remember, you're protecting their employees as well,

00:09:14.260 well, indirectly.

00:09:15.040 It may be bad for the employees if they go out of business.

00:09:19.000 More likely, it would just drive their stock down

00:09:21.540 to a place where they can't keep their jobs,

00:09:25.180 meaning the executives, not the employees. 0.51

00:09:28.960 So we've got to hit them hard. 0.59

00:09:31.000 So let me know the moment the first one caves. 0.99

00:09:35.300 Let's just bud light the shit out of them. 0.98

00:09:38.680 All right. 0.98

00:09:39.120 Nine of Trump's lawyers have been arrested in Georgia.

00:09:42.200 I could end the entire live stream on that

00:09:47.280 because, in a way,

00:09:49.920 that describes everything bad that's happening in the world.

00:09:53.220 Let me just say it again.

00:09:55.380 Nine of Trump's lawyers were arrested

00:09:58.420 for doing what I believe is their job of lawyering.

00:10:04.240 Now, if you think that their advice was bad,

00:10:08.140 well, maybe it was.

00:10:10.000 I'm no lawyer, so how would I judge it?

00:10:12.620 But you can't jail somebody's lawyers for bad advice.

00:10:18.200 You know, they're really going to have to come up with the goods,

00:10:21.420 but I don't think that they care if they're guilty,

00:10:24.780 the people who, you know, indicted them.

00:10:26.880 I don't think they care.

00:10:28.420 I think this is about sending a chilling message

00:10:31.120 that if you're a lawyer and you work with Trump,

00:10:33.920 you'll never work again.

00:10:35.000 I think that's all that's happening.

00:10:37.100 So I think that they're just, you know,

00:10:39.460 chipping away at all things that support Trump,

00:10:42.380 and they're willing to take down nine lawyers

00:10:45.520 and the rule of law and every standard that we have in America

00:10:50.160 about justice and freedom and everything else.

00:10:53.340 They're willing to actually sacrifice every standard of American excellence to get Trump.

00:10:59.480 nothing's more important than our court system,

00:11:04.160 and this is, this is, it's monstrous.

00:11:09.860 It's monstrous.

00:11:10.860 Absolutely monstrous.

00:11:14.140 On the plus side, Jenna Ellis takes a great mugshot. 1.00

00:11:18.120 Did you see all the mugshots?

00:11:19.640 Rudy Giuliani and a bunch of people.

00:11:21.860 And, you know, for some reason, they do the mugshots like this.

00:11:26.500 It's like they lean forward and scowl.

00:11:30.180 And then Jenna, Jenna Ellison gives the, you know, like an Instagram smile.

00:11:34.700 It's just a big, big smile.

00:11:36.820 And I thought, well, that was the smartest play.

00:11:39.140 Because she knows that picture is going to be everywhere.

00:11:42.400 And she managed to take a picture that wasn't just pretty good.

00:11:46.040 It's actually like a good picture.

00:11:48.320 You know, it looks like one of the pictures you would pick

00:11:50.360 from your own camera roll if you wanted to send it to somebody that you liked.

00:11:56.040 Now, I've never seen anybody take such a good picture.

00:11:59.360 It's neither here nor there, but it was a good picture.

00:12:04.100 All right, here's how to tell who the bad guys are.

00:12:06.640 Ted Lieu, Democrat.

00:12:09.140 He wants to remind you in a tweet that, you know, that Trump is not above the law

00:12:15.340 and neither of these lawyers like Rudy Giuliani. 0.95

00:12:20.240 And darn it, he's got those top secret documents and stuff. 0.94

00:12:24.660 And I say, have you noticed that we haven't heard a thing about the contents of those secret documents? 0.98

00:12:31.020 Do you believe, at this point, oh, NPC, D. Bruce, we found an NPC.

00:12:38.420 What would the NPC say?

00:12:40.720 Let's see if you can guess it.

00:12:41.760 Don't look.

00:12:42.660 On locals, don't look on YouTube.

00:12:44.860 What would an NPC say if I say that Jenna Els took a good photograph on her mugshot?

00:12:50.500 Go.

00:12:50.660 What would they say?

00:12:55.180 No, you know it.

00:12:58.120 That's right.

00:12:59.040 They would say that I love her, that I have a crush on her.

00:13:02.400 That's what the NPCs say.

00:13:04.300 So if you want to make sure you're not an NPC, don't say that.

00:13:09.000 Yeah.

00:13:09.640 You must want to marry her.

00:13:11.740 Yeah.

00:13:12.020 That's what the NPCs say.

00:13:13.240 All right, so Ted Lieu reminds us that these people, the lawyers and Trump, are not above the law.

00:13:19.640 I tell you again that when somebody says somebody's not above the law, they are the bad guys.

00:13:26.820 Almost always.

00:13:29.240 Do you know what I never hear on the right?

00:13:32.100 Maybe I'm wrong about this.

00:13:33.540 I'll take a fact check on this.

00:13:35.720 When there's a real crime, people never say nobody's above the law.

00:13:42.180 True or false?

00:13:43.520 When there's a real crime, people don't say that.

00:13:47.460 Because they say, well, it's a real crime.

00:13:49.980 We have a justice system.

00:13:51.820 What is there to talk about?

00:13:53.880 Real crime.

00:13:55.600 Justice system.

00:13:57.540 Aren't we done?

00:13:58.920 Yes, we're done.

00:14:00.560 Because you only say nobody's above the law when you're trying to put them below the law.

00:14:05.260 It's the only time.

00:14:06.640 Because otherwise, have you ever heard the phrase, is it Shakespeare?

00:14:10.620 Thou doth protest too much?

00:14:14.160 Like, you're fighting too hard to make a point that nobody was asking about.

00:14:19.480 Well, who was talking about him being above the law?

00:14:22.840 Where did that come into the conversation? 0.99

00:14:24.900 If you have to say it, it's a very clear admission that you're trying to fuck somebody. 1.00

00:14:30.580 So Ted Lieu, you motherfucker, you just revealed yourself as being an illegitimate player on the most important playing field in the world. 1.00

00:14:40.880 Totally uncool. 1.00

00:14:43.580 By the way, I like Ted.

00:14:45.360 Ted's kind of cool.

00:14:47.620 Ted Lieu is one of these happy warriors.

00:14:50.080 You know, he just backs his team and stuff.

00:14:52.160 But the whole not above the law, that's too far.

00:14:57.660 That is too far.

00:14:59.380 Let me tell you what I never want to hear from any of my elected officials.

00:15:04.040 Do not ever tell me that somebody's not above the law, because then I just know you're going after them.

00:15:10.880 It's just obvious.

00:15:12.120 Do you know what I've never heard about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and their various allegations?

00:15:21.560 I've never heard anybody say, well, they're not above the law.

00:15:26.320 Have you?

00:15:28.360 No.

00:15:29.620 Do you know why?

00:15:30.260 Because their crimes are, well, let's say their activities, I don't know what's a crime, because I'm not a lawyer,

00:15:36.120 but their activities are entirely transparent.

00:15:39.660 We see it all now.

00:15:41.780 So why would you even have that conversation about somebody being above the law?

00:15:45.780 What do conservatives say instead of above the law?

00:15:51.360 Two-tier justice system.

00:15:53.600 Two-tier justice system.

00:15:55.360 Is that fair?

00:15:56.660 It's absolutely fair.

00:15:57.840 I don't know that the two tiers are only Democrat and Republican, because there's another two tiers, which is rich people and poor people.

00:16:06.540 So there's sort of four tiers.

00:16:08.900 Or is that three?

00:16:10.220 Depends how you do the Venn diagram.

00:16:13.360 So, yeah, two-tier justice system to my ears.

00:16:17.240 Now, I may be biased on this, right?

00:16:19.600 I might be biased.

00:16:20.440 But to my ears, two-tier justice is an objective description of two situations that are similar, but treated differently, and we can all see it.

00:16:32.280 That feels like an actual criticism.

00:16:35.960 But not above the law? 0.99

00:16:37.340 No, that's brainwashing manipulation bullshit right there. 0.99

00:16:41.080 All right. 0.97

00:16:47.000 My tweet I did the other day, in which I was mocking CNN for their interview of Vivek, is approaching 10 million views.

00:16:57.060 Why?

00:16:58.400 Was that my best tweet?

00:17:02.660 It was all right.

00:17:04.460 It was all right.

00:17:05.240 Let me tell you what I'm seeing. 0.79

00:17:10.520 Vivek is an energy monster.

00:17:15.320 That's going to be a little bit of a theme for what I'll talk about with the debates.

00:17:20.520 Vivek is an energy monster.

00:17:25.120 10 million views for me mocking CNN treating him.

00:17:30.140 Who gets 10 million views?

00:17:35.240 Like, I don't.

00:17:36.200 I mean, I've got a million followers.

00:17:38.560 But a normal tweet of mine would be, you know, 10, 20,000.

00:17:42.240 I get 10 million.

00:17:43.620 Now, I know Vivek retweeted it, et cetera.

00:17:46.600 But you can feel the energy, right?

00:17:49.180 What do you think would be the biggest tweet or the biggest traffic if I tweeted any of the other candidates who were on the stage?

00:17:57.840 So just once on the stage.

00:17:59.840 What do you think I could have?

00:18:01.020 Not 10 million.

00:18:01.880 Well, if I'd done a really good DeSantis, a really good DeSantis tweet, what do you think the traffic would have been?

00:18:10.140 A million.

00:18:11.440 Half a million.

00:18:12.380 I don't even think it would be that.

00:18:14.360 Yeah.

00:18:14.640 You can feel the energy.

00:18:16.280 All right.

00:18:16.520 But that's the theme going into it.

00:18:18.960 I looked at the Wall Street Journal to see how they covered the debates.

00:18:22.180 And they've got a feature article on Vivek's performance.

00:18:26.180 That's right.

00:18:29.000 Wall Street Journal featured Vivek's performance and didn't really do a lot about the other people.

00:18:37.000 I always watch CNN after a debate because I watch it for entertainment.

00:18:42.960 But usually it's a, you know, it's like a Trump debate is what I'm used to lately. 0.60

00:18:46.640 And then CNN will be all TDS and it's hilarious to watch because they'd just be flipping out and crazy and just batshit nuts. 0.77

00:18:54.580 So I turned on CNN after this debate expecting, you know, something like TDS, complete breakdown, Republicans are the devil, etc. 0.81

00:19:04.380 And I'm going to be fair.

00:19:07.320 They did a really good job. 0.97

00:19:08.740 It was the damnedest thing. 0.88

00:19:12.880 I had to check that I was on the right network.

00:19:15.800 But here's why.

00:19:17.160 First of all, Trump was not in it.

00:19:19.280 So that's the big thing, right?

00:19:20.760 So if you take Trump out and then you're dealing with a bunch of people that nobody on the CNN panel thinks is going to be in the final election,

00:19:29.520 I don't think they think any of them are serious.

00:19:32.020 So they were free to simply talk about how they performed.

00:19:34.880 And then when I watched really experienced, smart people on CNN, you know, John King as one example,

00:19:42.920 doing just an analysis of, you know, performance and technique, quite good.

00:19:49.820 It was quite good.

00:19:51.320 So I'll give him a little pat in the back there.

00:19:55.300 However, they do have one guy named David Axelrod, who's, you know, not only on CNN, but he's a notable advisor, you know, insider for the Democrats.

00:20:08.260 He was full narrative, and it really stuck out as inappropriate.

00:20:14.120 Like the other people were simply talking about the people about how they performed.

00:20:17.940 Very good.

00:20:18.820 That's a good job.

00:20:19.760 And if that's the new CNN, I'd watch it, honestly.

00:20:22.680 If they could do more of that, I'd watch it.

00:20:25.340 But I think it was a special case.

00:20:27.320 And then Axelrod is just pushing the Democrat narrative.

00:20:31.880 I mean, completely disconnected from what you just watched.

00:20:35.800 You know, just trying to connect it somehow.

00:20:37.920 But, you know, just pushing narrative.

00:20:40.100 And it was just gross.

00:20:42.480 You know, watching him just pushing the narrative, basically.

00:20:46.600 So I don't think he should be on the air at all.

00:20:48.760 I think he hurts CNN's credibility.

00:20:54.220 And I'm not saying that about the other people who have had their biases, but at least they did a whole show where they were just giving their opinions and not being, you know, just an advertisement for a party.

00:21:06.700 By the way, the Republicans do the same thing, so I'm not picking on just Democrats here.

00:21:11.160 All right, here's something that CNN quoted on their web page about Vivek.

00:21:19.880 By the way, CNN thought Vivek won the, in my opinion, it looked like CNN thought Ramaswamy was one of the two winners.

00:21:30.460 I'll get to that in a minute.

00:21:31.380 But here's a quote they have on their web page from Vivek Ramaswamy, who said,

00:21:38.440 The biggest myth in American democracy is that we actually elect our leaders, Ramaswamy says, in a video posted to social media.

00:21:46.420 So this wasn't about the debate, but they were just characterizing him.

00:21:51.080 We don't go through the, we don't.

00:21:53.700 We go through the motions.

00:21:54.560 The real people who run the show are part of an acronymist, acronymist, meaning acronyms, three-letter alphabet soup in the federal government.

00:22:05.080 You know, the FBI's and CDC's and FDA's and all those guys.

00:22:10.020 Now, the fact that they're highlighting, like, you know, extended quotes, who else had an extended quote on CNN?

00:22:19.340 Yeah, do you remember the extended quotes of the other, no.

00:22:25.900 He's the only one who's saying anything interesting.

00:22:29.100 All right, more on that.

00:22:32.360 So CNN seemed to characterize it as Vivek was the obvious standout.

00:22:40.240 He was very much the obvious standout.

00:22:42.840 If you woke up the next morning, what did you think about?

00:22:46.600 Just think about it.

00:22:47.480 If you watched the debate, and then you woke up the next morning, which, not Trump, but which candidate were you thinking about?

00:22:55.760 A little bit of Pence, but not, maybe not in a positive way.

00:22:59.340 You basically remembered Vivek.

00:23:02.260 Do you remember seeing the, you know, the sweeping shots of the whole stage?

00:23:06.900 And then, you know, then there would be lots of close-ups.

00:23:10.040 Is it my imagination, or did Vivek make all of them look like they're ready for retirement?

00:23:15.560 Simply by being young and energetic and clearly smarter than everybody on the stage.

00:23:21.740 He made them all look like a retirement home.

00:23:24.780 And some of them are not that old.

00:23:26.620 You know, Tim Scott's not old.

00:23:28.640 But he made them look like last generation's idea.

00:23:34.540 Just by being there, and being young, and being energetic, and different.

00:23:39.700 You know, he just lapped them.

00:23:43.720 Now, to her credit, Nikki Haley got a lot of kudos for standing out.

00:23:49.800 Maybe helped her position.

00:23:51.960 I think women especially liked her when she talked about abortion.

00:23:55.480 But my take on her was, all I was hearing was screechy, Karen, accept the abortion part, which she did masterfully. 1.00

00:24:04.940 I'm not, by the way, you're not going to hear my opinion on abortion.

00:24:08.500 I'm going to talk about it a little bit more in terms of the politics.

00:24:11.540 But I don't give my opinion on abortion.

00:24:14.600 I'll let women figure it out, and I'll back the majority. 0.99

00:24:18.720 I just don't think I add to the opinion part of it.

00:24:21.520 I'll just talk about it from a political level.

00:24:23.300 So she was great in terms of how she communicated.

00:24:27.700 So that's different than me agreeing with everything she said, right?

00:24:31.760 But my take on her was, she was like nails on a chalkboard to my male ears. 1.00

00:24:39.100 Now, this is purely sexist.

00:24:41.220 Purely sexist.

00:24:42.600 I'm confessing that men and women have some built-in feelings about gender and stuff like that.

00:24:49.080 But there are some things that men just can't hear.

00:24:51.340 And her kind of Karen-y voice, which I don't think, by the way, is necessarily an indication

00:24:59.680 of her real personality, but her presentation was complain-y.

00:25:06.680 Did anybody feel that?

00:25:08.380 Her presentation felt like you came home from a hard day's work, and your spouse, who may

00:25:14.780 have also had a hard day's work, has got to complain to you for a while.

00:25:18.780 Well, yeah. 0.90

00:25:20.040 So I think she may have killed it with women, meaning good. 1.00

00:25:24.360 She may have actually had a home run with women, because when women were talking about 1.00

00:25:28.180 her, they were quite complimentary.

00:25:30.740 And even on CNN.

00:25:32.420 Even on CNN, pointed out she had a good night.

00:25:36.260 But I didn't see it.

00:25:37.520 And if you don't make men happy, you're not going anywhere.

00:25:40.120 All right, CNN's focus group picked Vivek.

00:25:46.240 So CNN is a focus group, and by a pretty good majority, they picked him.

00:25:53.680 So the other thing that, I guess I wasn't aware of it, but there must have been some polling

00:26:01.560 that put Vivek at number two behind DeSantis.

00:26:04.920 So, and I feel like I've never seen a legitimate number two poll.

00:26:12.260 I've only seen him at three.

00:26:15.940 Was anybody confused by that?

00:26:18.080 Like, it didn't look real.

00:26:20.580 I thought he was three or four or something.

00:26:23.780 But, you know, he's obviously been, you know, soaring up.

00:26:26.680 So whatever they used, put him next to DeSantis, labeled him number two.

00:26:31.060 Now, if you had never heard of Vivek, which is a lot of people, if you'd never heard of

00:26:36.180 him, and you turn it on, and you see he's standing next to Vivek, and he's number two

00:26:40.560 in the polling, didn't you just go, what?

00:26:44.480 And you're like, oh, I guess I got to pay attention to this.

00:26:47.640 Then you wake up the next day, once again, he's trending on Twitter, his clips are dominating,

00:26:54.180 CNN liked him, probably the conservatives were saying good things about him, but also DeSantis.

00:26:59.260 And he just killed it.

00:27:05.200 Here's some other good Vivek things.

00:27:06.800 We'll talk about the others in a minute, and we'll talk about Trump, of course.

00:27:10.900 But I would say, when I look at a debate, I'm kind of only half listening to the policy

00:27:16.580 stuff.

00:27:17.920 Do you have the same feeling?

00:27:19.740 The policy stuff, I don't even know if they mean it at this point, because a lot of things

00:27:24.700 you say, but then the real world makes it impossible, you know.

00:27:27.760 So I'm looking for charisma, I'm looking for energy, I'm looking for intelligence, quick-wittedness,

00:27:37.680 for example. 0.99

00:27:38.640 I'm looking for balls, man balls and girl balls, or let's say woman balls. 1.00

00:27:46.880 Try to make it as fair as possible. 0.99

00:27:48.780 I'm looking for assertiveness, but within an acceptable domain.

00:27:56.140 So under that theory, things that might look like mistakes can actually be advantages, because

00:28:02.240 in the energy part, if you're bringing the right energy, you get an advantage.

00:28:06.940 So I'll give you an example of that.

00:28:08.600 So Vivek, before he answered one of his questions, he said he was the only one who could address

00:28:13.780 it, because everyone else on the stage was bought and paid for.

00:28:18.320 Now if you saw that moment, you know that all the other candidates went into a simultaneous

00:28:23.700 mumble.

00:28:24.780 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:28:29.160 Victory number one, Vivek was the person talking, and he turned all of his competitors into white 1.00

00:28:37.980 noise.

00:28:40.740 Vivek speaking clearly, his competitors, complaining.

00:28:46.500 It was brilliant.

00:28:48.160 Now, the thing he said, they're all bought and paid for.

00:28:50.780 I don't think that's exactly true.

00:28:53.760 Do you?

00:28:55.100 Do you think, I don't know, ASA is, you know, maybe they are, maybe they all have some billionaire

00:29:03.280 that's backing him.

00:29:04.140 But mostly you feel it's true, right?

00:29:08.040 So whether it's exactly technical true is actually an advantage

00:29:12.640 because my first impression of it was,

00:29:16.120 whoa, that's a little too far in terms of following the facts.

00:29:21.080 But when I saw the reaction, I completely changed my mind

00:29:25.100 because here's what he did.

00:29:26.960 He owned the entire room by doing that.

00:29:30.860 He made everybody respond to him, which made him the center of attention.

00:29:35.920 So by being the one who made everybody so angry

00:29:38.200 that they had to respond to Vivek, he became their boss,

00:29:42.480 they became his children, and they were all fighting for,

00:29:46.420 can I say something about Vivek? How about me?

00:29:49.240 Please let me say something about Vivek's comments. 0.98

00:29:53.400 Fucking owned him. He just owned him. 0.98

00:29:57.240 Now, I'm going to say that I really loved one of my favorite moments

00:30:03.220 of the whole thing was when DeSantis rejected the Fox News question

00:30:09.180 and took over. Did you see that moment?

00:30:12.300 So the question from Martha McCallum was,

00:30:14.540 raise your hand if you believe in human-caused global warming.

00:30:20.000 Number one, that is a messed up question.

00:30:22.520 That question is, you do not answer that question

00:30:26.500 because it's not yes-no.

00:30:29.420 It's, there might be, but, you know, is that the worst thing

00:30:34.040 or what do we do about it or what are our options?

00:30:37.280 So to simplify it down to yes-no was as bad as 1.00

00:30:41.960 do you still beat your fucking wife? 1.00

00:30:44.440 That was bad work. 1.00

00:30:47.300 So Fox News, you should be ashamed of that question, honestly. 0.94

00:30:50.580 I mean, that was no better than do you beat your wife. 0.99

00:30:53.940 That was just disgusting. 0.97

00:30:56.100 To see these people who are working hard,

00:30:59.620 I mean, everybody on that stage, I mean, as far as I can tell,

00:31:03.240 are working hard, you know, taking a lot of, you know,

00:31:06.240 stuff on themselves and to get that treatment.

00:31:10.020 That was completely inappropriate.

00:31:12.620 Now, what did they do when that question was asked?

00:31:16.120 Well, thankfully, DeSantis, being apparently a good leader,

00:31:21.800 I'm going to give him a lot of credit here,

00:31:23.560 he stopped it right in his tracks.

00:31:25.560 He said, we're not school children.

00:31:27.100 Can we just talk about this?

00:31:28.900 And then he started talking about it

00:31:30.540 and did a good job talking about it.

00:31:32.260 But that was so alpha that to me it was the move of the debate

00:31:38.800 because he needed to shut down the question

00:31:42.060 and nobody on the stage did it.

00:31:44.260 Now, I don't know if they would have, 1.00

00:31:47.600 but he was very quick and he just shut that shit down. 1.00

00:31:52.540 That's good stuff. 1.00

00:31:54.160 Good stuff.

00:31:54.840 Let me say some more good things about DeSantis.

00:31:57.100 Then we'll get back to Vivek.

00:31:59.200 Well, let me finish up with him.

00:32:01.640 Vivek basically owned all the energy, got all the attention.

00:32:05.760 Left and right was impressed.

00:32:07.400 He'll be everything that we're talking about.

00:32:09.240 So as an energy monster, oh my God, he just nailed it.

00:32:12.680 He had the most revolutionary ideas.

00:32:15.720 Everybody's talking about all the departments he wants to get rid of.

00:32:21.380 The things he's asking for are bigger than you imagine is practical.

00:32:25.460 Perfect.

00:32:27.020 Who else does that?

00:32:28.200 Trump.

00:32:29.100 Let's build a whole wall.

00:32:30.740 Well, that feels bigger than what you could actually do,

00:32:33.840 but maybe something in that direction.

00:32:36.460 Vivek wants to get rid of all these departments,

00:32:38.920 but really distribute their functions is what he's really saying.

00:32:42.480 But that sounds bigger than real.

00:32:45.100 But yet, directionally, it's what his base totally is interested in.

00:32:49.300 And frankly, if you're a Democrat and you're hearing he wants to cut the fat out of government,

00:32:54.140 are you complaining?

00:32:56.400 Is that where you're going to draw the line?

00:32:58.780 Oh, I don't want anybody cutting the fat out of my government

00:33:01.320 because the government is so lean and perfect.

00:33:04.020 Nobody.

00:33:04.380 It's a really good, major, major issue, and it defines him.

00:33:09.220 So he's got that going for him.

00:33:11.920 But I'm going to give you the reframe that will get him elected president,

00:33:17.180 unless Trump is.

00:33:19.920 You ready?

00:33:21.060 Now, I know I may have mentioned I have a best-selling book, almost.

00:33:27.200 It's best-selling in its categories,

00:33:28.580 about reframing how to take an ordinary situation and change it

00:33:33.800 so that the world and you act differently.

00:33:37.500 I'm going to give a reframe to Vivek

00:33:39.860 that will guarantee that he beats everybody,

00:33:44.600 well, except DeSantis.

00:33:46.400 I'm going to say this guarantees he's in the top two, not counting Trump.

00:33:52.680 Who would Steve Jobs hire?

00:33:54.500 Of the people who were on the stage,

00:33:58.640 who would Steve Jobs hire?

00:34:01.300 Steve Jobs recently said, not recently,

00:34:03.560 but on a video that's going around,

00:34:05.520 he said that his main hiring decision,

00:34:09.240 Steve Jobs' primary decision-making thing,

00:34:12.900 is he gets the best person he could

00:34:15.360 whose best days are ahead of him.

00:34:20.640 And we're done.

00:34:21.640 There were two candidates whose best days might be ahead of him,

00:34:27.620 DeSantis and Vivek.

00:34:31.560 Vivek really stands out as the one that Steve Jobs

00:34:35.640 would have obviously hired.

00:34:37.980 Right?

00:34:38.740 There's no doubt about it.

00:34:40.260 He would have obviously hired Vivek

00:34:42.160 because he just has more horsepower in the brain area,

00:34:46.300 and he's much earlier in his development

00:34:49.920 even than DeSantis, so clearly his best days are ahead of him

00:34:53.600 or could be in this domain.

00:34:55.860 Now, DeSantis is a youngish politician.

00:34:59.380 He may have maxed out as governor,

00:35:02.680 but maybe not.

00:35:04.480 So his best days could be ahead of him.

00:35:06.340 But if I had to hire one of them for my actual company,

00:35:10.100 it would be Vivek a hundred and of a hundred times.

00:35:13.820 And I'm pretty sure every one of you would do the same thing,

00:35:17.140 you know, if you were,

00:35:18.560 if you'd listen to Steve Jobs.

00:35:21.080 Now, here's another reframe.

00:35:24.520 The presidency should not be your retirement job.

00:35:29.180 You see what I'm doing right now on this live stream?

00:35:31.660 This is actually my retirement job.

00:35:34.320 It's the one I do because I enjoy it,

00:35:36.440 and it's not hard for me.

00:35:37.580 You know, when I'm preparing for this,

00:35:40.560 and even when I'm doing it right now,

00:35:42.280 I just enjoy it.

00:35:43.640 I actually enjoy the preparation.

00:35:45.680 I enjoy the doing of it.

00:35:47.340 And it, you know, pays less than what I was doing before.

00:35:50.360 I mean, didn't have an option for that,

00:35:52.000 but that's a different story.

00:35:54.180 And so this is, I actually think of this,

00:35:56.940 this is actually the way I think of it in my own mind,

00:35:59.060 that this is my retirement job.

00:36:01.560 So even though I still do the comic,

00:36:04.040 I do it the way I want to now,

00:36:05.580 not beholden to the censors,

00:36:08.100 and that's my retirement job.

00:36:09.960 If you told me you can retire and draw the comic

00:36:13.380 exactly the way you want to every time,

00:36:16.500 nobody's going to tell you to change it.

00:36:18.800 That's my retirement job.

00:36:21.040 Yeah.

00:36:21.380 That's not the hard one.

00:36:22.500 That's the easy one.

00:36:23.940 So you don't want,

00:36:24.900 if you looked at the stage,

00:36:26.280 you looked at, you know,

00:36:27.080 one young person,

00:36:28.500 you know, who wants to go make a difference,

00:36:30.640 and then a bunch of other people who look like

00:36:32.900 they're just looking for something to do next.

00:36:36.360 That isn't that hard.

00:36:38.320 Now, the presidency's hard,

00:36:40.220 but hard in such a good way that everybody wants a job.

00:36:45.080 All right.

00:36:47.240 We've talked about some others.

00:36:49.660 Let's do DeSantis next.

00:36:50.960 I found him boring and uninteresting

00:36:57.420 to the point where,

00:36:59.540 at some point about halfway through the debate,

00:37:02.080 I forgot that he was there.

00:37:04.840 I forgot.

00:37:06.280 And then he started talking.

00:37:07.660 I'm like, oh, yeah, you're still here.

00:37:09.740 There's something forgettable about him.

00:37:12.480 His personality does not work for this kind of venue.

00:37:17.500 In other words,

00:37:17.960 he's not the guy who's going to bring the artificial enthusiasm

00:37:21.120 and sell it to you.

00:37:23.120 He's not the guy whose energy is external.

00:37:26.060 He seems like he has, like, strong internal energy.

00:37:29.940 You know, maybe more of an introvert, actually.

00:37:32.480 He might be an introvert who's just overperforming,

00:37:35.280 but, you know,

00:37:36.240 maybe he just likes his alone time and stuff.

00:37:38.880 You can tell that Vivek, you know,

00:37:40.740 likes the external world.

00:37:44.580 Like, he's of the external world.

00:37:46.840 But here's my question to you.

00:37:51.460 If Trump becomes the next candidate or next president,

00:37:57.200 is that going to be pleasant for Republicans?

00:38:01.520 Basically, you get turned into Hitler. 0.91

00:38:03.840 You get turned into a fascist. 0.98

00:38:05.960 And they go nuts. 0.89

00:38:08.100 50% of the world will have TDS.

00:38:10.540 So here's the real question.

00:38:11.720 Is that a reason not to vote for Trump?

00:38:16.840 Should you say they shouldn't feel that way?

00:38:21.540 And if they do, I don't care.

00:38:23.620 Or do you say that's actually part of the decision?

00:38:26.940 That one of the big variables

00:38:28.300 is that he makes other people crazy.

00:38:30.840 So here's the thing.

00:38:32.000 If DeSantis were president instead,

00:38:33.900 would the left go as crazy? 0.72

00:38:37.760 They would definitely accuse him of being Hitler

00:38:40.160 for his policies.

00:38:42.340 But would they accuse him of being Hitler

00:38:44.460 because of his personality?

00:38:47.580 And I think probably no.

00:38:49.660 Probably no.

00:38:50.520 I mean, he comes off as sort of a corporate guy,

00:38:55.420 you know, only in his presentation,

00:38:56.840 not his philosophies.

00:38:58.580 But he comes off as sort of a generic,

00:39:02.040 just executive.

00:39:04.780 Does that scare people on the left?

00:39:07.540 You know, because his policies

00:39:08.800 would be things they don't want.

00:39:10.620 Well, it does.

00:39:11.920 But does anything scare you the way Trump does?

00:39:15.660 You know, Trump's the, you know, times 10 scare.

00:39:19.620 You know, a normal Republican scare

00:39:21.300 gets you a George Bush.

00:39:22.660 I would say DeSantis is scary

00:39:25.160 like either of the Bushes

00:39:26.880 before they were elected.

00:39:29.860 Right?

00:39:30.620 Sort of a generic Republican scary.

00:39:33.260 But a generic scary Republican

00:39:35.020 can get elected.

00:39:37.780 So I have a real question in my mind.

00:39:41.000 If you ask me,

00:39:42.440 could DeSantis execute?

00:39:45.040 Right?

00:39:45.220 Is he good at just getting the thing done,

00:39:47.480 whatever the thing is he's trying to do?

00:39:49.120 And the answer is,

00:39:49.860 maybe one of the best we've seen.

00:39:51.100 I mean, it's hard to tell from the outside

00:39:53.860 because you're only seeing

00:39:54.800 what people want you to see.

00:39:56.600 But it looks to me

00:39:58.200 like he's really effective.

00:40:00.840 Now, does that mean he's more effective

00:40:02.240 than Vivek would be?

00:40:04.220 I don't know.

00:40:05.060 I don't think any of us could know that.

00:40:08.340 But I would say for sure

00:40:09.500 that nobody's really experienced

00:40:10.900 at being a president.

00:40:12.720 So if you say that Vivek is not experienced,

00:40:16.740 I would first of all

00:40:17.520 go to the Steve Jobs quote.

00:40:18.940 You hire the people

00:40:20.520 whose best days are ahead of him.

00:40:22.520 And I would also say

00:40:24.940 that nobody's experienced

00:40:25.960 when they first become president.

00:40:27.780 If you want experience,

00:40:29.180 it's Trump or Biden,

00:40:30.980 and they come with a lot of baggage.

00:40:34.080 Experience gives you a lot of baggage,

00:40:36.140 and you've got to deal with that.

00:40:38.020 So ask yourself

00:40:39.260 how much of that experience

00:40:40.400 you want to deal with.

00:40:41.940 It's not all good.

00:40:43.180 All right.

00:40:47.700 To me,

00:40:48.600 here's another way

00:40:49.460 to look at Vivek.

00:40:51.420 I will take the smartest person

00:40:53.220 in the room

00:40:53.720 with the clearest positive message

00:40:55.840 and is age 38

00:40:58.140 without even knowing

00:40:59.500 anything else about the candidate.

00:41:01.620 If you didn't know

00:41:02.360 there was a Vivek,

00:41:03.440 and I said,

00:41:03.920 all right, all right,

00:41:04.400 here's a proposition.

00:41:05.740 I'm going to bring you

00:41:06.620 somebody who's smarter

00:41:07.520 than all the people in the room.

00:41:09.460 He has the clearest

00:41:10.720 positive view of the world.

00:41:13.180 Clear, positive view.

00:41:15.000 And he's age 38,

00:41:16.880 or she is.

00:41:19.100 I'll take that every time.

00:41:21.540 I will take that every time.

00:41:23.960 Do I need his experience?

00:41:26.100 Do you know how long

00:41:26.840 it would take a Vivek

00:41:28.260 to learn a new thing?

00:41:30.740 Come on.

00:41:31.560 Are you paying attention?

00:41:33.800 Let me just ask the question again

00:41:35.400 because it's almost funny.

00:41:37.660 Do you understand

00:41:38.460 how long it takes

00:41:39.680 a Vivek,

00:41:41.400 I'll use him

00:41:42.280 as like a generic

00:41:43.080 of Vivek,

00:41:44.200 do you know how long

00:41:44.940 it takes him

00:41:45.380 to learn a new

00:41:46.040 complicated thing?

00:41:49.620 He's not like you and me.

00:41:51.320 He's not like regular people.

00:41:53.520 That's why he's doing so well.

00:41:55.660 He's doing so well

00:41:56.580 because he can walk

00:41:57.880 into any complicated situation

00:41:59.580 from economics

00:42:01.120 to law

00:42:02.060 to medicine

00:42:03.200 and science.

00:42:05.020 He's actually,

00:42:06.440 you know,

00:42:07.220 quite proficient

00:42:08.400 in the most complicated

00:42:09.940 domains.

00:42:10.960 Do you think he can't

00:42:11.780 figure out the presidency?

00:42:14.080 The presidency

00:42:14.940 is being done by,

00:42:16.380 well,

00:42:17.040 kind of,

00:42:17.560 by Joe Biden.

00:42:19.680 I've got a feeling

00:42:20.540 that the presidency

00:42:21.320 would be one of the

00:42:22.200 easiest things

00:42:22.960 he ever figured out.

00:42:25.760 All right.

00:42:28.560 He did make one,

00:42:29.780 I think it was

00:42:30.200 sort of a mistake.

00:42:31.280 When he started,

00:42:32.140 he goes,

00:42:33.020 you know,

00:42:33.200 I know what you're thinking.

00:42:34.260 Who is this skinny guy?

00:42:35.940 So it was sort of

00:42:36.820 reminiscent of something

00:42:37.880 Obama said

00:42:38.600 when he was introduced

00:42:39.320 to the world.

00:42:40.780 And it's something that,

00:42:42.440 who is that?

00:42:43.380 Admiral Stockwell?

00:42:46.040 Do you remember?

00:42:47.520 He started out this,

00:42:48.920 Stockdale.

00:42:49.960 Stockdale.

00:42:51.260 He started out

00:42:52.380 his debate

00:42:53.860 by saying,

00:42:54.900 all right,

00:42:55.820 who am I

00:42:56.420 and why am I here?

00:42:58.160 And everybody just laughed

00:42:59.220 because he defined himself

00:43:00.860 as not belonging there.

00:43:02.020 That was like

00:43:03.560 one of the greatest mistakes

00:43:04.660 in debate history.

00:43:06.000 So Vivek came

00:43:07.020 kind of close

00:43:07.920 with his,

00:43:09.220 you know,

00:43:09.440 I know what you're thinking.

00:43:11.020 Who is this skinny guy?

00:43:13.180 I think the way

00:43:14.160 I would have gone is,

00:43:15.420 if this is the first time

00:43:16.760 you've seen me,

00:43:17.320 you're probably wondering

00:43:18.120 why I'm already

00:43:18.820 polling number two.

00:43:20.920 Right?

00:43:22.580 Compare mine.

00:43:24.020 Who is this skinny guy?

00:43:25.380 Blah, blah, blah.

00:43:26.660 The joke didn't land.

00:43:29.120 Better.

00:43:30.200 If you've never heard of me

00:43:31.500 and you've never seen me before,

00:43:32.700 you're probably wondering

00:43:33.380 why I'm already

00:43:34.020 polling number two.

00:43:35.420 By the end of the debate,

00:43:36.700 I hope that's obvious.

00:43:38.980 Boom.

00:43:41.340 Clusterbomb.

00:43:42.680 All right.

00:43:43.560 Let's talk about

00:43:44.300 some of the others.

00:43:45.180 Asa Hutchinson,

00:43:45.960 who I call

00:43:47.200 the poor man's Mike Pence.

00:43:49.560 You do not want to look

00:43:50.940 like a bad version

00:43:52.480 of the guy

00:43:53.740 who is a vice president.

00:43:56.260 Never works.

00:43:57.280 Never works.

00:43:57.820 I talked about

00:44:01.900 a few of them.

00:44:03.280 How about this

00:44:03.840 Burgum guy? 0.97

00:44:05.740 Burgum did one of the

00:44:06.780 worst things I've ever seen.

00:44:08.780 He introduced himself

00:44:09.900 to the country

00:44:10.460 by saying

00:44:11.100 he was the only one there

00:44:12.680 from a town

00:44:14.000 of 300 people.

00:44:16.600 That's my first impression

00:44:18.200 of him

00:44:18.540 and the only thing

00:44:19.340 I remember.

00:44:20.880 And the only thing

00:44:21.520 I remember is,

00:44:22.680 oh,

00:44:23.080 he didn't have anything

00:44:23.920 to sell himself.

00:44:25.600 He came empty.

00:44:26.460 He was unprepared.

00:44:29.100 He had one leg

00:44:30.260 because he hurt his leg

00:44:32.080 before the thing.

00:44:33.960 That was a nothing.

00:44:36.780 Christie.

00:44:39.160 He's sort of

00:44:39.920 a sideshow character.

00:44:42.360 Like,

00:44:42.660 I don't take him seriously

00:44:44.020 because I don't think

00:44:44.860 he's serious about running.

00:44:46.380 I don't know

00:44:47.160 why he's running.

00:44:48.140 I assume there's

00:44:48.880 some billionaire

00:44:49.380 behind him

00:44:50.040 who has some objective

00:44:51.360 that may not be

00:44:53.060 winning an election.

00:44:54.420 I just don't know

00:44:55.100 what's going on.

00:44:56.580 But Christie came

00:44:57.900 with his prepared,

00:45:00.400 oh,

00:45:00.780 I'm going to get Vivek.

00:45:02.080 And here was his,

00:45:03.100 here was his,

00:45:04.160 I gotcha.

00:45:05.540 Making it look like

00:45:06.580 it was,

00:45:07.100 you know,

00:45:07.480 off the cuff,

00:45:08.620 but very much

00:45:09.360 not off the cuff.

00:45:10.820 He talks about Vivek.

00:45:11.920 He goes,

00:45:12.400 I've had enough

00:45:13.280 of a guy

00:45:13.780 who sounds like

00:45:14.500 chat GPT.

00:45:17.680 Now,

00:45:18.220 let's do a survey

00:45:19.220 of Republican voters

00:45:21.960 who were watching

00:45:23.740 the debate

00:45:24.520 on Fox News.

00:45:27.220 Republican voters

00:45:28.620 watching the debate

00:45:30.940 on Fox News.

00:45:33.580 Average age.

00:45:35.600 Do I have to finish?

00:45:37.880 How many of the,

00:45:38.780 how much,

00:45:39.440 how many people

00:45:40.060 in the audience

00:45:40.700 know what

00:45:41.780 chat GPT is?

00:45:44.100 Every one of you do.

00:45:45.780 Like,

00:45:46.060 100% of you do.

00:45:47.940 But as soon as you

00:45:48.940 leave the people

00:45:49.820 who are,

00:45:50.200 you know,

00:45:50.720 following the top

00:45:51.560 2% of all the news,

00:45:53.120 how many people

00:45:54.280 even know who

00:45:54.860 Prigozhin is? 0.69

00:45:55.860 We'll talk about him

00:45:56.580 in a minute.

00:45:57.240 How many people?

00:45:59.700 Right?

00:46:00.700 The general population

00:46:02.180 is nothing like us.

00:46:04.600 Us meaning people

00:46:05.700 who are kind of

00:46:06.860 addicted to following

00:46:07.700 this stuff.

00:46:08.960 That was a terrible

00:46:09.920 mistake.

00:46:10.860 Do you know

00:46:11.160 what it sounded like

00:46:11.880 to me?

00:46:14.380 To my ears,

00:46:16.000 and this is not

00:46:16.780 what he said,

00:46:17.380 this is not

00:46:18.560 what Christie said,

00:46:19.820 but to my ears,

00:46:21.460 I heard him

00:46:22.680 making fun of him

00:46:23.660 working at a 7-Eleven

00:46:24.900 or doing tech support.

00:46:28.480 That's what I heard.

00:46:30.080 Now,

00:46:30.320 he didn't say that

00:46:31.140 or anything like it,

00:46:33.140 but if you don't know

00:46:34.160 what chat GPT is,

00:46:36.060 do you think it's

00:46:36.840 something about

00:46:37.520 tech support?

00:46:39.480 Do you?

00:46:40.180 I'll bet you do.

00:46:41.640 And it looks like

00:46:42.280 he was just mocking

00:46:43.080 him for his ethnicity.

00:46:45.160 That's what it looked like.

00:46:46.640 Now,

00:46:46.760 that's not what happened.

00:46:48.620 That did not happen.

00:46:49.660 In the real world,

00:46:50.440 it did not happen.

00:46:51.600 But the way it felt,

00:46:53.540 it was just so awkward

00:46:54.760 that that was just

00:46:55.820 a fail.

00:46:57.640 And then,

00:46:58.760 but Vivek ended up

00:47:00.180 with the best

00:47:01.440 comeback,

00:47:03.200 which did look

00:47:04.260 spontaneous.

00:47:05.200 I don't know if it was.

00:47:06.320 He may be prepared

00:47:07.180 with this already,

00:47:08.100 but he sold it

00:47:09.140 like it was spontaneous.

00:47:10.100 And that was that,

00:47:11.980 you know,

00:47:13.120 Christie was saying

00:47:13.940 that Trump is running

00:47:15.420 for vengeance

00:47:16.320 and,

00:47:17.000 what did he say?

00:47:19.580 Vengeance and grievance.

00:47:21.720 And Vivek says,

00:47:22.820 your point would be

00:47:23.620 a lot stronger

00:47:24.400 if you were not

00:47:25.560 running for president

00:47:26.500 solely for vengeance

00:47:28.320 and grievance

00:47:29.680 against one person.

00:47:30.820 Oh,

00:47:33.260 we're done here.

00:47:35.620 Oh,

00:47:36.240 hello.

00:47:37.400 Hello.

00:47:38.320 Goodbye,

00:47:38.980 Chris Christie.

00:47:39.740 That's the end of that.

00:47:41.800 He just took him out.

00:47:43.140 Now,

00:47:43.380 Christie will still hang around

00:47:44.460 because he's not a real,

00:47:45.460 I don't think he's

00:47:46.220 a real candidate.

00:47:47.120 He's a stunt candidate

00:47:49.000 or a special feature candidate

00:47:51.900 or,

00:47:52.860 I mean,

00:47:53.220 he's not going to be president.

00:47:54.120 Let's see.

00:47:59.060 How many of you remember

00:48:00.240 that Tim Scott

00:48:01.320 was at the debate?

00:48:04.020 This morning,

00:48:05.040 I decided to see,

00:48:06.580 to make my notes

00:48:07.620 to talk about it.

00:48:08.880 I thought I'd make my notes

00:48:10.300 based on what I remembered

00:48:11.760 because what you remember

00:48:13.780 is actually the important part.

00:48:15.560 The parts you didn't remember

00:48:16.700 don't have a persuasive element

00:48:18.480 to them

00:48:18.900 because you literally

00:48:19.580 don't remember them.

00:48:20.840 I could not remember

00:48:22.120 that Tim Scott

00:48:22.920 was on the stage.

00:48:24.540 Literally,

00:48:25.500 I thought I'd done

00:48:26.800 all my notes.

00:48:27.740 Oh,

00:48:28.060 this guy,

00:48:28.580 this guy,

00:48:29.040 this woman.

00:48:30.360 And then,

00:48:31.360 I looked on a picture

00:48:32.500 and I go,

00:48:32.900 oh, 0.98

00:48:33.180 shoot,

00:48:34.460 Tim Scott was there too.

00:48:36.380 He disappears on stage.

00:48:39.200 When you put him

00:48:40.020 on the stage

00:48:40.500 with all the other people,

00:48:41.500 he just disappeared.

00:48:43.340 And,

00:48:44.240 which is weird

00:48:44.880 because I always thought

00:48:45.720 he was pretty solid.

00:48:47.380 He's solid in the sense

00:48:48.660 he says,

00:48:49.260 you know,

00:48:49.460 good,

00:48:50.000 solid,

00:48:50.440 Republican-sounding things.

00:48:51.960 He's got a good backstory.

00:48:53.500 He's successful

00:48:54.300 individually.

00:48:55.520 Seems like a good guy.

00:48:56.700 Doesn't have any,

00:48:57.400 I don't know of any scandals

00:48:58.600 per se.

00:48:59.720 So,

00:49:00.240 I mean,

00:49:00.500 he's a good,

00:49:01.100 solid,

00:49:01.560 vice president-looking guy.

00:49:03.580 But he didn't help himself.

00:49:05.320 He looked like he just

00:49:06.080 disappeared.

00:49:07.920 Yeah.

00:49:11.280 Too polite?

00:49:13.480 All right,

00:49:13.980 let's talk about Trump.

00:49:14.940 on Tucker.

00:49:17.600 The number of views

00:49:18.900 on Tucker's show

00:49:20.200 on X

00:49:21.040 is probably

00:49:23.000 going to hit

00:49:23.520 200 million.

00:49:26.360 Let me just say that again

00:49:27.860 in case you weren't

00:49:29.400 following along.

00:49:31.180 A typical

00:49:32.180 primetime show

00:49:33.500 on Fox News

00:49:35.320 gets how many viewers?

00:49:37.000 Now,

00:49:37.340 this was more than

00:49:38.280 a primetime show.

00:49:39.580 But how many

00:49:40.180 Fox News viewers

00:49:41.200 do you get

00:49:41.560 a typical night?

00:49:42.280 3 million?

00:49:44.540 Yeah,

00:49:44.840 3 million would be

00:49:45.720 a runaway hit.

00:49:47.240 3 million.

00:49:48.860 He's already

00:49:49.640 at 192 million.

00:49:53.980 3?

00:49:56.460 192.

00:49:57.460 Now,

00:49:58.020 the debate itself

00:49:58.740 was probably,

00:49:59.480 I'm sure,

00:49:59.820 more than 3.

00:50:00.840 Does anybody

00:50:01.260 have a number

00:50:01.780 on Fox News

00:50:02.800 viewership?

00:50:05.380 I'm,

00:50:06.020 23 million?

00:50:10.060 That can't be right.

00:50:12.280 It might be.

00:50:14.600 But whatever

00:50:15.280 that number is,

00:50:16.120 it's nowhere near

00:50:16.940 200 million.

00:50:18.400 I think we can agree.

00:50:19.700 200 million is more,

00:50:21.220 is way more

00:50:21.920 than the number

00:50:22.500 of voters.

00:50:23.600 Right?

00:50:24.300 It's way more

00:50:24.860 than the number

00:50:25.420 of people who vote.

00:50:28.060 So,

00:50:28.540 I don't know,

00:50:28.900 maybe the viewer numbers

00:50:29.980 are people who

00:50:30.700 dipped in

00:50:31.260 and dipped out.

00:50:32.540 Do you get counted

00:50:33.320 twice if you watch

00:50:34.800 half and then you

00:50:35.460 come back

00:50:35.800 for the other half?

00:50:37.400 Oh,

00:50:37.600 I think you do,

00:50:38.320 right?

00:50:38.840 No?

00:50:39.620 No,

00:50:39.880 it just looks

00:50:40.540 at your IP.

00:50:41.540 If you come

00:50:41.980 from a different IP,

00:50:42.940 is it twice?

00:50:45.920 It'd be twice

00:50:46.720 if you came

00:50:47.160 from a different

00:50:47.640 computer.

00:50:48.820 Yeah.

00:50:49.580 So,

00:50:50.160 I don't think

00:50:50.540 that number

00:50:50.880 is as real

00:50:51.580 as the viewership

00:50:53.140 numbers.

00:50:54.140 So,

00:50:54.420 it's probably

00:50:54.740 not an apple

00:50:55.420 and an orange,

00:50:56.160 but it's a

00:50:56.960 gigantic number.

00:50:58.620 And as other

00:50:59.600 observers said,

00:51:01.000 Tucker proved

00:51:02.380 the model.

00:51:03.920 Elon Musk

00:51:04.700 proved the model.

00:51:05.720 people really,

00:51:09.540 really want to

00:51:10.060 watch this kind

00:51:10.680 of content

00:51:11.300 on X.

00:51:13.300 So,

00:51:13.820 gigantic victory

00:51:14.860 for Musk.

00:51:16.620 Gigantic victory

00:51:17.540 for Tucker.

00:51:19.900 Good for them.

00:51:20.960 And I'm sure

00:51:21.300 Fox News had a

00:51:22.080 good night,

00:51:22.520 actually,

00:51:22.920 so it was

00:51:23.520 probably a good

00:51:23.980 night for them.

00:51:25.780 But anyway,

00:51:26.680 Trump talked

00:51:27.120 to Tucker.

00:51:28.080 Here are my

00:51:28.620 observations.

00:51:29.360 Number one,

00:51:30.160 visually,

00:51:31.300 Trump,

00:51:32.060 I don't know

00:51:32.600 if it was the

00:51:33.060 lighting or Trump

00:51:34.160 has decided

00:51:34.740 to go with

00:51:35.440 a white

00:51:36.100 hair look.

00:51:37.360 Does anybody

00:51:37.880 know the

00:51:38.240 answer to that?

00:51:39.080 Was that

00:51:39.400 just lighting?

00:51:40.980 Or did he

00:51:41.720 actually improve

00:51:44.060 his color

00:51:45.180 coordination

00:51:45.880 in the head

00:51:46.780 area?

00:51:47.480 Because he

00:51:47.860 looked great.

00:51:49.200 I thought

00:51:49.660 he looked

00:51:50.440 better than,

00:51:51.540 well,

00:51:51.820 really,

00:51:52.140 any time.

00:51:53.060 I think he

00:51:53.560 looked better

00:51:54.140 than 2016,

00:51:55.340 frankly.

00:51:56.720 So that's

00:51:57.100 pretty good,

00:51:58.180 if you could

00:51:58.640 pull that off.

00:52:00.240 He did look

00:52:01.160 like he was

00:52:01.760 completely in

00:52:02.780 his right

00:52:03.500 senses.

00:52:03.940 I thought

00:52:07.760 he was

00:52:08.660 interesting.

00:52:10.160 But,

00:52:11.260 correct me

00:52:12.560 if I'm

00:52:12.860 wrong,

00:52:13.780 the debate

00:52:14.540 was so

00:52:15.760 missing

00:52:16.220 Trump that

00:52:17.600 you could

00:52:17.880 almost taste

00:52:18.600 it.

00:52:19.720 When you

00:52:20.060 were watching

00:52:20.520 it,

00:52:20.820 it felt like

00:52:21.540 you were

00:52:21.780 watching the

00:52:22.580 band that

00:52:23.880 showed up

00:52:24.380 instead of

00:52:24.920 the one

00:52:25.280 you were

00:52:25.560 hoping for,

00:52:27.320 that the

00:52:28.220 total wattage

00:52:29.220 of the

00:52:29.520 event,

00:52:30.360 even with

00:52:31.000 Vivek,

00:52:32.340 was so

00:52:32.880 obviously

00:52:33.640 below what

00:52:34.460 it would

00:52:34.780 have been

00:52:35.220 if Trump

00:52:35.960 had been

00:52:36.260 there.

00:52:36.760 Now,

00:52:37.060 he made

00:52:37.400 exactly the

00:52:38.120 right decision

00:52:38.700 to not be

00:52:39.300 there,

00:52:39.860 because he

00:52:40.360 would have

00:52:40.560 been average

00:52:41.440 with them,

00:52:42.320 and he

00:52:42.840 could have

00:52:43.060 made a

00:52:43.400 mistake

00:52:43.820 accidentally,

00:52:44.820 or been

00:52:45.560 quoted in a

00:52:46.300 context.

00:52:47.240 So the

00:52:47.520 best thing

00:52:47.940 he could do

00:52:48.340 is lay

00:52:48.680 low,

00:52:49.160 and he

00:52:49.480 did.

00:52:50.300 But,

00:52:50.600 well,

00:52:50.900 if you

00:52:51.060 could call

00:52:51.360 that laying

00:52:51.760 low.

00:52:52.400 He was

00:52:52.640 just in a

00:52:53.000 different venue.

00:52:54.120 So here

00:52:54.440 are some

00:52:54.640 of the

00:52:54.820 highlights.

00:52:55.240 Number

00:52:57.060 one,

00:52:58.840 Tucker

00:52:59.500 asked him

00:53:00.020 if he

00:53:00.320 thinks

00:53:00.560 Epstein

00:53:00.960 killed

00:53:01.340 himself. 0.66

00:53:03.080 And

00:53:03.280 Trump

00:53:04.300 actually

00:53:04.700 gave this

00:53:05.200 long,

00:53:05.900 indirect

00:53:06.260 answer

00:53:06.880 where he

00:53:07.740 said he

00:53:08.060 didn't

00:53:08.280 know,

00:53:09.560 but that

00:53:10.100 he thinks

00:53:12.000 he might

00:53:13.160 have

00:53:13.420 committed

00:53:14.280 suicide, 0.90

00:53:15.620 but he

00:53:16.700 thought that

00:53:17.400 Tucker and

00:53:17.960 others might

00:53:18.500 think differently.

00:53:19.680 So he

00:53:20.060 was actually

00:53:20.520 giving full

00:53:21.800 balance to

00:53:22.600 both views,

00:53:23.540 which is

00:53:24.140 actually a

00:53:24.660 perfect

00:53:25.060 president

00:53:25.520 answer.

00:53:26.600 Because if

00:53:27.240 there's

00:53:27.440 somebody on

00:53:27.880 the other

00:53:28.160 side,

00:53:28.960 and it's

00:53:29.320 an issue

00:53:29.700 of no

00:53:30.100 importance to

00:53:30.760 the country

00:53:31.180 whatsoever,

00:53:31.840 I mean,

00:53:32.140 not really,

00:53:33.320 he's dead,

00:53:34.160 he's dead,

00:53:34.540 doesn't matter

00:53:34.940 who did it,

00:53:35.980 then the

00:53:36.840 best answer

00:53:37.400 is don't

00:53:37.860 cause any

00:53:38.280 trouble.

00:53:39.820 Now,

00:53:40.320 the fact

00:53:40.700 that he

00:53:41.000 pulled that

00:53:41.560 off without

00:53:43.000 showing what

00:53:44.340 he really

00:53:44.740 thought was

00:53:46.460 actually a

00:53:46.940 good performance.

00:53:48.320 And I'm

00:53:48.740 going to

00:53:48.960 call it a

00:53:49.380 performance,

00:53:50.440 because do

00:53:51.460 you think

00:53:51.900 that he

00:53:52.620 doesn't

00:53:53.020 know?

00:53:53.300 you think

00:53:56.180 that Trump

00:53:56.560 doesn't

00:53:56.940 know what

00:53:57.320 happened?

00:53:59.780 Now,

00:54:00.320 it doesn't

00:54:00.620 mean he

00:54:00.860 was a

00:54:01.140 witness,

00:54:01.920 but you

00:54:02.420 don't think

00:54:02.800 he knows?

00:54:04.220 I think

00:54:04.840 all the

00:54:05.100 presidents

00:54:05.460 know.

00:54:06.840 I think

00:54:07.420 they know.

00:54:08.780 All right,

00:54:09.220 I don't know

00:54:09.580 what the

00:54:09.760 answer is,

00:54:10.160 but I

00:54:10.340 think they

00:54:10.600 know.

00:54:13.420 You have

00:54:14.100 to listen

00:54:14.540 to,

00:54:15.760 well,

00:54:17.440 you have

00:54:17.720 to listen

00:54:18.060 to Trump's

00:54:20.040 clip of

00:54:21.440 him talking

00:54:22.000 about Joe

00:54:22.660 Biden's

00:54:23.220 physicality.

00:54:25.240 All right?

00:54:25.760 So I

00:54:26.460 can't reproduce

00:54:27.480 it,

00:54:27.900 because it's

00:54:28.320 classic Trump,

00:54:29.600 and he

00:54:30.120 just starts

00:54:30.600 pecking at 0.62

00:54:31.520 Biden,

00:54:32.600 and I'll

00:54:33.120 just give

00:54:33.480 you some

00:54:33.820 of the

00:54:34.040 parts.

00:54:34.400 It won't

00:54:34.600 be funny

00:54:35.000 when I

00:54:35.320 tell you,

00:54:35.720 it'll just

00:54:36.060 give you

00:54:36.320 a flavor,

00:54:37.460 but he

00:54:37.720 talks about

00:54:38.300 how Joe

00:54:39.660 Biden can't

00:54:40.380 walk through

00:54:40.760 the grass

00:54:41.320 on the way

00:54:41.700 to the

00:54:41.980 helicopter,

00:54:42.940 because the

00:54:43.320 grass is

00:54:43.780 too tall.

00:54:44.580 He goes,

00:54:44.900 two inches,

00:54:45.700 can't do it.

00:54:47.620 Now,

00:54:48.360 he's so

00:54:49.200 visual,

00:54:49.760 you imagine

00:54:50.920 Biden not

00:54:51.900 being able

00:54:52.340 to walk

00:54:52.840 to the

00:54:53.200 helicopters.

00:54:53.860 That's the

00:54:54.180 first image

00:54:54.780 he puts

00:54:55.100 in your

00:54:55.300 head.

00:54:55.900 Then he 0.92

00:54:56.260 goes to

00:54:56.620 the beach.

00:54:57.680 He goes,

00:54:58.320 he's in

00:54:58.600 the beach.

00:54:59.380 He can't

00:54:59.760 walk through

00:55:00.100 the sand.

00:55:00.880 I mean,

00:55:01.180 sand is

00:55:01.560 hard to

00:55:01.860 walk through,

00:55:02.320 but he

00:55:02.820 can't even

00:55:03.160 do it.

00:55:04.120 The beach

00:55:04.760 chair,

00:55:05.340 he couldn't

00:55:05.700 pick up

00:55:06.060 a beach

00:55:06.380 chair.

00:55:06.900 Do you

00:55:07.080 know how

00:55:07.360 heavy a

00:55:08.080 beach

00:55:08.280 chair is?

00:55:08.840 They're

00:55:09.160 made to

00:55:09.540 be super

00:55:09.940 light.

00:55:10.780 Super

00:55:11.080 light.

00:55:11.440 He

00:55:11.520 couldn't

00:55:11.720 even

00:55:11.860 pick it

00:55:12.180 up.

00:55:13.400 He

00:55:13.580 doesn't

00:55:13.800 look

00:55:13.980 good.

00:55:14.780 Why

00:55:19.760 good

00:55:20.000 look.

00:55:21.700 He

00:55:22.220 said his

00:55:22.880 legs look

00:55:23.960 like

00:55:24.220 toothpicks.

00:55:25.820 He just

00:55:26.300 keeps going

00:55:26.920 on.

00:55:28.100 Here's

00:55:28.660 what

00:55:28.820 happened.

00:55:30.640 I

00:55:31.120 happened

00:55:31.400 to be

00:55:31.660 playing it

00:55:32.220 as I

00:55:32.540 was brushing

00:55:33.360 my teeth

00:55:33.860 getting ready

00:55:34.380 for bed.

00:55:35.920 About

00:55:36.340 halfway

00:55:36.820 through,

00:55:38.140 I was

00:55:38.640 laugh

00:55:39.260 crying to

00:55:40.580 the point

00:55:40.980 of an

00:55:41.240 asthma

00:55:41.560 attack.

00:55:42.780 I was

00:55:43.340 doubled

00:55:43.740 over.

00:55:44.720 Tears

00:55:45.000 were

00:55:45.240 shooting

00:55:45.620 out of

00:55:45.920 my

00:55:46.080 eyes.

00:55:46.980 I

00:55:47.060 was

00:55:47.240 holding

00:55:47.560 my

00:55:47.860 stomach

00:55:48.200 and I

00:55:48.960 thought

00:55:49.200 I was

00:55:49.460 going to

00:55:49.720 die. 1.00

00:55:51.940 Now,

00:55:52.980 who

00:55:54.100 made you

00:55:54.640 feel that

00:55:55.200 way in

00:55:55.600 the

00:55:55.760 debate?

00:55:57.740 Nobody.

00:55:59.100 Nobody.

00:56:00.620 The

00:56:01.100 level of

00:56:02.440 emotional

00:56:03.200 connection

00:56:04.960 that Trump

00:56:06.060 creates

00:56:06.660 through the

00:56:08.540 television

00:56:08.980 from miles

00:56:09.660 away,

00:56:10.060 even

00:56:10.260 recorded,

00:56:11.140 is

00:56:13.280 unprecedented

00:56:14.680 and nobody

00:56:16.140 will ever

00:56:16.680 come close.

00:56:17.760 I don't

00:56:18.180 believe

00:56:18.440 anybody

00:56:18.840 will ever

00:56:19.420 come

00:56:19.660 come

00:56:19.680 close

00:56:20.120 to the

00:56:21.100 pure

00:56:21.360 wattage

00:56:22.060 of his

00:56:22.400 personality

00:56:23.060 because he

00:56:24.100 made the

00:56:24.800 debate look

00:56:25.340 like it

00:56:25.660 was just

00:56:25.980 missing him.

00:56:27.980 And then

00:56:28.240 when he

00:56:28.520 talks,

00:56:29.300 he draws

00:56:29.880 these movies

00:56:30.560 in your

00:56:31.020 head

00:56:31.420 that you

00:56:32.320 feel like

00:56:32.840 you watched

00:56:33.240 a comedy

00:56:33.760 movie

00:56:34.200 with a

00:56:35.480 funny

00:56:35.760 narrator

00:56:36.300 and I

00:56:37.200 was just

00:56:37.540 crying it

00:56:38.180 was so

00:56:38.480 funny.

00:56:38.800 Now,

00:56:39.420 it was so

00:56:39.840 funny because

00:56:40.360 it was so

00:56:40.800 mean,

00:56:42.040 right?

00:56:42.500 You're not

00:56:43.060 supposed to be

00:56:43.600 so mean

00:56:44.200 when you're

00:56:44.960 running for

00:56:45.320 president.

00:56:45.740 So the

00:56:46.440 fact that,

00:56:47.060 and by the

00:56:47.400 way,

00:56:47.540 this is a

00:56:48.040 humor trick.

00:56:49.580 One of the

00:56:50.160 basic tricks

00:56:50.860 of humor

00:56:51.340 is you take

00:56:52.900 somebody who's

00:56:53.400 not supposed

00:56:53.980 to act a

00:56:54.460 certain way

00:56:55.000 and then you

00:56:55.680 have them

00:56:55.960 act that

00:56:56.300 way.

00:56:57.160 For example,

00:56:58.540 if I created

00:56:59.400 a doctor

00:57:00.340 character for

00:57:01.380 the comic

00:57:01.820 strip,

00:57:02.540 I would have

00:57:03.060 the doctor

00:57:03.560 not be like

00:57:04.100 a regular

00:57:04.380 doctor,

00:57:04.880 he would

00:57:05.080 actually want 0.98

00:57:05.600 to kill 1.00

00:57:05.880 people and 1.00

00:57:06.780 hate people.

00:57:08.060 Or a 0.61

00:57:08.800 bunny rabbit

00:57:09.320 would be like

00:57:10.520 a vicious 0.99

00:57:10.960 killer. 0.78

00:57:11.360 And so 0.99

00:57:13.060 any time

00:57:13.460 something is

00:57:14.000 the opposite

00:57:14.440 of what it's

00:57:14.940 supposed to

00:57:15.300 be,

00:57:15.460 it's just

00:57:15.740 naturally

00:57:16.100 funny.

00:57:17.140 So when

00:57:17.620 Trump,

00:57:18.240 who is

00:57:18.520 supposed to

00:57:18.940 be the

00:57:19.800 politically

00:57:20.280 correct

00:57:20.840 leader who

00:57:21.440 brings us

00:57:21.940 all together,

00:57:22.840 he starts

00:57:23.560 mocking the

00:57:24.380 physical

00:57:24.900 abilities of

00:57:25.980 his competitor

00:57:26.660 and how he's

00:57:27.580 already gone

00:57:28.140 mentally,

00:57:28.780 etc.,

00:57:29.460 it's not

00:57:30.220 supposed to

00:57:30.720 happen.

00:57:32.080 So it's

00:57:32.660 the difference

00:57:34.440 between what

00:57:35.120 you should be

00:57:36.220 seeing and

00:57:36.800 what you're

00:57:37.180 actually experiencing

00:57:38.200 is what causes

00:57:39.420 the laugh

00:57:39.960 reflex.

00:57:40.460 Because your

00:57:41.560 brain can't

00:57:42.240 put them

00:57:42.500 together.

00:57:43.060 It's like,

00:57:43.380 I know it's

00:57:43.820 Trump,

00:57:44.360 but still

00:57:45.000 you're not

00:57:45.400 supposed to

00:57:45.840 be doing

00:57:46.300 this.

00:57:46.980 Then you

00:57:47.980 just start

00:57:48.300 laughing.

00:57:49.000 Now,

00:57:49.280 I'm completely

00:57:49.840 aware that

00:57:51.600 the way he

00:57:52.880 strikes me

00:57:54.080 is very

00:57:55.180 different than

00:57:55.720 how he

00:57:56.020 strikes Democrats,

00:57:57.560 of course,

00:57:58.540 and also a lot

00:57:59.740 of Republicans.

00:58:00.880 And I'm

00:58:01.300 convinced that

00:58:02.060 the main

00:58:02.640 reason there's

00:58:03.300 a difference

00:58:03.740 is some

00:58:05.280 people know

00:58:06.200 that he's

00:58:06.700 joking and

00:58:08.620 others don't.

00:58:09.820 In other

00:58:10.380 words,

00:58:10.860 some people,

00:58:11.920 such as me

00:58:12.720 and most of

00:58:13.380 you,

00:58:13.560 I think,

00:58:14.240 you know that

00:58:14.860 when he's

00:58:15.180 doing that,

00:58:15.920 when he's

00:58:16.260 doing the

00:58:16.580 Biden stuff

00:58:17.220 and other

00:58:17.620 stuff as

00:58:18.040 well,

00:58:18.580 that he's

00:58:19.180 playing a

00:58:19.940 part,

00:58:20.860 he's creating

00:58:21.580 a character,

00:58:22.900 he's putting

00:58:23.400 on a show,

00:58:24.780 and he's

00:58:25.200 drawing all

00:58:25.660 the energy

00:58:26.100 to him,

00:58:26.920 making you

00:58:27.400 laugh.

00:58:28.160 Because if you

00:58:28.660 can laugh

00:58:29.120 with somebody,

00:58:29.600 you're going

00:58:29.800 to like him.

00:58:30.980 Am I right?

00:58:31.960 If you laugh

00:58:33.020 with somebody,

00:58:34.140 it's hard to

00:58:35.320 not like him.

00:58:35.980 it's just

00:58:38.140 impossible.

00:58:39.280 So he makes

00:58:40.160 people laugh,

00:58:41.160 and then you

00:58:42.060 just want to

00:58:42.560 see more of

00:58:43.120 it.

00:58:43.640 Your dopamine

00:58:44.180 gets spiked,

00:58:45.040 and you say,

00:58:45.520 you know what,

00:58:46.180 the only way

00:58:46.780 I'm going to

00:58:47.120 get more of

00:58:47.660 this dopamine,

00:58:48.740 like the

00:58:49.200 laugh that I

00:58:49.860 had last

00:58:50.340 night,

00:58:51.180 I would have

00:58:51.640 paid for.

00:58:53.440 If you said,

00:58:54.300 all right,

00:58:54.540 to get that

00:58:55.000 laugh,

00:58:56.260 it's $100.

00:58:58.380 Yep,

00:58:59.080 $100.

00:58:59.900 I would pay

00:59:00.440 $100 to feel

00:59:02.280 how I felt

00:59:02.840 last night for

00:59:03.560 15 minutes.

00:59:05.040 $100.

00:59:05.980 It was that

00:59:07.360 good.

00:59:09.160 Now,

00:59:09.660 who gives

00:59:10.020 you that?

00:59:11.200 Everybody else

00:59:11.920 is just,

00:59:12.440 oh,

00:59:12.640 I like his

00:59:13.060 policy,

00:59:14.360 or I like

00:59:14.880 what she

00:59:15.140 said about

00:59:15.760 abortion.

00:59:17.100 You don't

00:59:17.740 feel anything.

00:59:19.320 Nothing.

00:59:21.180 All right.

00:59:23.760 I thought

00:59:24.560 Pence was

00:59:25.380 just Pence,

00:59:26.320 and by the

00:59:27.780 way,

00:59:28.120 Pence is

00:59:28.580 a real

00:59:29.460 good performer.

00:59:32.900 So Pence

00:59:33.400 had a

00:59:33.980 solid debate.

00:59:35.160 He was

00:59:35.920 the number

00:59:36.300 one in

00:59:36.760 time,

00:59:37.580 but that

00:59:37.940 had to

00:59:38.200 do with

00:59:38.560 people were

00:59:39.100 mentioning him,

00:59:39.780 so he got a

00:59:40.140 little more

00:59:40.380 time.

00:59:40.960 But he

00:59:41.200 was smart

00:59:41.600 enough,

00:59:42.460 he was so

00:59:43.180 good that

00:59:44.440 at the

00:59:45.180 beginning of

00:59:45.760 the debate,

00:59:46.560 I think there

00:59:47.020 was some

00:59:47.300 reference to

00:59:47.940 the Trump

00:59:48.500 administration,

00:59:49.820 and he

00:59:50.200 immediately

00:59:50.620 tried to

00:59:51.660 interrupt and

00:59:52.240 say,

00:59:52.500 well,

00:59:52.620 I've been

00:59:52.940 mentioned.

00:59:54.200 Because the

00:59:54.600 rules are,

00:59:55.140 if you get

00:59:55.380 mentioned,

00:59:55.900 you get some

00:59:56.680 response time.

00:59:57.800 So he

00:59:58.220 actually tried

00:59:59.000 to get

00:59:59.480 time based

01:00:01.480 on the fact

01:00:01.980 that the

01:00:02.340 question,

01:00:03.020 or somebody

01:00:03.460 said something

01:00:03.900 about the

01:00:04.240 administration.

01:00:05.460 And that

01:00:05.700 was a

01:00:07.000 stretch,

01:00:08.140 but the

01:00:08.500 fact that

01:00:08.880 he took a

01:00:10.300 play at it

01:00:11.040 just showed

01:00:11.700 how good

01:00:12.080 he is,

01:00:12.740 because that

01:00:13.080 was a pretty

01:00:13.800 good play.

01:00:14.540 Didn't work,

01:00:15.720 didn't work,

01:00:16.480 but it was a

01:00:16.860 good play.

01:00:17.720 I liked his

01:00:19.280 quick judgment

01:00:20.860 and his

01:00:21.820 experience on

01:00:22.640 that.

01:00:22.960 That was

01:00:23.160 well executed,

01:00:24.960 didn't work.

01:00:26.520 So I think

01:00:27.200 he's a good

01:00:27.660 debater,

01:00:28.720 got the most

01:00:29.220 time.

01:00:29.820 Who got the

01:00:30.360 number two

01:00:30.800 time?

01:00:32.140 Vivek.

01:00:33.900 And he

01:00:34.540 got it by

01:00:34.960 earning it.

01:00:36.480 Because the

01:00:37.060 other people

01:00:37.480 wanted to

01:00:37.980 talk about

01:00:38.400 him.

01:00:39.160 They were

01:00:39.500 talking about

01:00:40.000 Vivek more

01:00:40.600 than they

01:00:40.880 were talking

01:00:41.220 about

01:00:41.440 DeSantis.

01:00:42.100 That's one

01:00:42.420 of the

01:00:42.760 things people

01:00:43.600 are chatting

01:00:44.020 about today.

01:00:44.780 If you

01:00:45.220 could be

01:00:45.540 number two

01:00:46.160 on the

01:00:46.500 stage and

01:00:47.780 have more

01:00:48.220 people attack

01:00:48.860 you than

01:00:49.300 the person

01:00:49.720 who's

01:00:50.080 effectively

01:00:50.680 number one,

01:00:52.340 watch out.

01:00:54.020 That's pretty

01:00:55.060 predictive of

01:00:56.740 his rise.

01:00:58.960 All right.

01:00:59.400 here are

01:01:01.180 two fake

01:01:02.580 newses,

01:01:03.740 one in

01:01:04.260 each

01:01:04.440 direction,

01:01:05.420 meaning a

01:01:06.320 conservative

01:01:06.780 one and

01:01:07.620 then a

01:01:08.360 Democrat

01:01:09.240 one.

01:01:11.600 Now,

01:01:12.240 you are

01:01:12.580 not going

01:01:12.960 to agree

01:01:13.340 with me

01:01:13.760 on either

01:01:14.340 of these.

01:01:14.960 Can we

01:01:15.300 stipulate

01:01:16.160 that?

01:01:17.240 You're

01:01:17.720 going to

01:01:17.920 go,

01:01:18.240 whoa,

01:01:18.780 Scott,

01:01:19.300 you lost

01:01:19.760 me on

01:01:20.060 that one,

01:01:20.900 because

01:01:21.180 that's

01:01:21.520 true for

01:01:22.020 sure.

01:01:23.820 Maybe.

01:01:25.440 But in

01:01:25.900 my opinion,

01:01:26.840 there are

01:01:27.700 two things

01:01:28.180 that look

01:01:28.520 fake.

01:01:28.920 Number one,

01:01:29.860 when CNN

01:01:30.440 talks about

01:01:31.120 Vivek wanting

01:01:31.860 to abolish

01:01:32.540 the FBI,

01:01:33.720 they do

01:01:34.340 not include

01:01:35.140 the most

01:01:35.820 important fact

01:01:36.720 that he

01:01:37.740 doesn't want

01:01:38.360 to get rid

01:01:39.240 of their

01:01:39.460 function.

01:01:40.800 He wants

01:01:41.180 to distribute

01:01:41.800 the people

01:01:42.260 who do

01:01:42.520 real work

01:01:43.140 to places

01:01:44.020 where their

01:01:44.720 work is

01:01:45.140 more directed

01:01:45.760 in a

01:01:46.180 specific

01:01:46.760 type of

01:01:47.920 crime,

01:01:48.800 and then

01:01:50.160 get rid

01:01:50.500 of the

01:01:50.680 administrative

01:01:51.060 stuff.

01:01:52.100 Now,

01:01:52.420 how do

01:01:52.680 you turn

01:01:53.080 a great

01:01:53.640 idea,

01:01:54.420 or potentially

01:01:55.060 great idea,

01:01:56.240 into the

01:01:56.960 worst-sounding

01:01:57.500 thing in

01:01:57.880 the world?

01:01:58.740 You just

01:01:59.140 say he

01:01:59.480 wants to

01:01:59.820 abolish the

01:02:00.460 FBI,

01:02:01.800 and then

01:02:02.700 you talk a

01:02:03.200 little bit

01:02:03.500 about the

01:02:03.900 history of

01:02:04.300 the FBI

01:02:04.740 and how

01:02:05.120 awesome

01:02:05.420 it's been.

01:02:06.280 That's what

01:02:06.680 CNN did.

01:02:08.100 They just

01:02:08.740 talked about

01:02:09.180 how awesome

01:02:09.680 the FBI

01:02:10.100 is,

01:02:10.540 and it's

01:02:10.740 been there

01:02:11.060 forever.

01:02:12.940 If you

01:02:13.560 leave out

01:02:14.120 that he

01:02:14.540 wants to

01:02:14.960 keep the

01:02:15.380 functions,

01:02:17.040 you're just

01:02:17.920 lying.

01:02:18.660 Would you

01:02:18.960 agree?

01:02:19.500 Would you

01:02:19.860 agree it's

01:02:20.180 a lie,

01:02:21.760 just a

01:02:22.580 complete lie,

01:02:23.380 if you

01:02:23.760 don't say he

01:02:24.440 wants to

01:02:24.820 keep the

01:02:25.140 functions?

01:02:25.500 Now,

01:02:27.060 here's my

01:02:27.620 one criticism

01:02:28.420 of Vivek.

01:02:29.960 He needs

01:02:30.760 to say that

01:02:31.440 in every

01:02:31.840 sentence.

01:02:33.020 I want to

01:02:33.480 get rid of

01:02:34.320 the FBI,

01:02:35.420 but keep

01:02:36.020 the functions

01:02:36.640 and get rid

01:02:37.500 of the fat.

01:02:38.680 You know,

01:02:38.860 distribute it.

01:02:39.620 If he said

01:02:40.180 that every

01:02:40.600 time,

01:02:41.220 everybody would

01:02:41.740 just agree.

01:02:43.060 I mean,

01:02:43.260 you would just

01:02:43.580 get people

01:02:43.940 saying,

01:02:44.400 okay,

01:02:45.700 that's

01:02:46.000 reasonable.

01:02:47.320 Now,

01:02:47.520 I don't

01:02:47.720 think that's

01:02:48.240 necessary.

01:02:49.020 He does

01:02:49.340 say that

01:02:49.720 with the

01:02:50.140 Department of

01:02:50.720 Education.

01:02:51.660 When he

01:02:52.180 talks about

01:02:52.580 the Department

01:02:53.060 of Education,

01:02:54.280 he says,

01:02:54.680 ban it and

01:02:55.680 take the

01:02:56.060 money from

01:02:56.520 that and

01:02:57.000 give it to

01:02:57.400 the states.

01:02:58.660 And then I

01:02:59.080 say,

01:02:59.700 oh,

01:03:00.460 oh,

01:03:01.080 okay.

01:03:01.880 That's not

01:03:02.460 just banning

01:03:03.100 something because

01:03:03.600 you don't

01:03:03.860 like it.

01:03:04.880 That's making

01:03:05.560 sure that the

01:03:06.640 problem is

01:03:07.160 more directly,

01:03:08.140 you know,

01:03:08.480 closer to the

01:03:09.060 people,

01:03:09.860 they can spend

01:03:10.500 it,

01:03:10.760 et cetera.

01:03:12.400 So that's the

01:03:13.160 first one.

01:03:13.640 So that's a

01:03:14.380 fake news that

01:03:16.260 the left is

01:03:17.380 doing on Vivek.

01:03:19.020 Here's one you're

01:03:19.820 not going to

01:03:20.200 like.

01:03:21.240 Jen Psaki

01:03:21.820 said no

01:03:22.720 one supports

01:03:23.400 abortion up

01:03:24.060 until birth

01:03:24.760 because I

01:03:26.120 think maybe

01:03:26.700 all of the

01:03:27.360 people on

01:03:27.700 the stage

01:03:28.180 or most

01:03:28.580 of them

01:03:28.880 believe.

01:03:30.740 Yeah,

01:03:31.000 here it

01:03:31.240 comes.

01:03:32.040 Hold on,

01:03:32.360 hold on,

01:03:32.800 though.

01:03:33.480 Hold on.

01:03:34.340 I might

01:03:34.780 surprise you on

01:03:35.480 this.

01:03:36.460 Might surprise

01:03:37.080 you.

01:03:37.600 The number

01:03:38.020 one thing I

01:03:38.620 remind you of

01:03:39.300 is I don't

01:03:40.140 have an

01:03:40.500 opinion I'm

01:03:41.340 trying to

01:03:41.700 sell you on

01:03:42.200 abortion.

01:03:43.160 I don't

01:03:43.480 have one.

01:03:44.040 I also

01:03:44.600 don't know

01:03:45.320 what's going

01:03:47.420 on with this

01:03:48.120 claim.

01:03:49.000 So that's

01:03:49.780 the big

01:03:50.380 point is

01:03:50.880 that I'm

01:03:51.300 not sure

01:03:51.560 what's

01:03:51.780 true.

01:03:52.760 So don't

01:03:53.180 assume I

01:03:53.600 know what's

01:03:53.940 true and

01:03:55.220 don't assume

01:03:55.700 you're seeing

01:03:56.060 my opinion.

01:03:57.260 I'm just

01:03:57.520 going to

01:03:57.760 talk about

01:03:58.220 that as

01:03:58.960 a news

01:03:59.700 bit.

01:04:01.960 So Jen

01:04:02.400 Psaki said

01:04:03.000 no one

01:04:03.380 supports abortion 0.95

01:04:04.140 until birth.

01:04:04.780 I saw a

01:04:05.080 bunch of

01:04:05.380 other tweeters

01:04:05.980 say the

01:04:06.380 same thing

01:04:06.960 whereas the

01:04:08.400 Republicans are

01:04:09.640 quite unified

01:04:10.320 I think in

01:04:11.600 believing it's

01:04:12.320 absolutely a

01:04:13.260 thing.

01:04:15.220 Let me get

01:04:15.900 a feed.

01:04:16.740 I'm sure I

01:04:17.320 know how this

01:04:17.780 is going to

01:04:18.140 turn out but

01:04:19.120 would you say

01:04:20.320 this statement

01:04:20.940 is true?

01:04:22.420 No one

01:04:22.920 supports abortion 0.95

01:04:23.740 until birth

01:04:24.460 meaning Democrats.

01:04:26.560 Do you believe

01:04:27.340 that's true?

01:04:28.380 That no one

01:04:29.320 supports abortion 0.95

01:04:30.260 up until birth.

01:04:33.660 Just feels like

01:04:34.640 a lie doesn't

01:04:35.260 it?

01:04:36.300 Yeah.

01:04:36.920 So it feels

01:04:38.080 like a lie to

01:04:38.820 me but what's

01:04:41.020 true?

01:04:42.220 So I thought

01:04:43.020 well I seem

01:04:43.720 to be badly

01:04:44.860 under-informed

01:04:45.740 on this topic

01:04:46.520 specifically

01:04:47.760 because I'm

01:04:49.480 just going to

01:04:49.880 follow the

01:04:50.320 lead of

01:04:50.580 women. 0.81

01:04:51.480 If women 0.99

01:04:52.060 want a certain

01:04:52.600 set of

01:04:52.920 laws that's

01:04:53.640 the most

01:04:53.900 credible outcome

01:04:54.740 to me so

01:04:55.420 I'm not going

01:04:56.280 to bother with

01:04:57.120 my opinion on

01:04:57.820 this stuff.

01:04:59.520 So here's what

01:05:01.080 I did.

01:05:01.440 I went to

01:05:01.800 Google and

01:05:02.880 I said I'm

01:05:03.520 going to Google

01:05:04.040 and find out if

01:05:04.840 this is true or

01:05:05.700 false.

01:05:06.640 That there is

01:05:07.960 such a thing as

01:05:08.700 abortion until

01:05:09.420 birth and that

01:05:10.940 it really exists

01:05:12.180 and that Jen

01:05:13.320 Psaki is just 1.00

01:05:14.100 lying about it

01:05:14.860 as are the

01:05:15.440 other Democrats

01:05:16.160 because that's

01:05:16.660 what you believe

01:05:17.220 right?

01:05:17.820 You believe it's

01:05:18.600 totally a thing

01:05:19.300 in a number of

01:05:20.360 states maybe not

01:05:21.680 everywhere but you

01:05:22.780 believe it's totally

01:05:23.620 a thing in a number

01:05:24.540 of states and that

01:05:25.880 Jen Psaki is

01:05:26.580 lying.

01:05:27.380 Correct?

01:05:28.440 Most of you

01:05:29.020 believe that if

01:05:30.040 you're leaning

01:05:30.600 right?

01:05:32.120 So I Googled

01:05:33.380 it.

01:05:34.180 I Googled it on

01:05:35.280 your behalf to

01:05:36.880 find out if she's

01:05:37.620 lying.

01:05:38.700 You know what I

01:05:39.360 found out?

01:05:41.500 Nothing.

01:05:43.180 Nothing.

01:05:44.420 The internet has

01:05:45.560 scrubbed information

01:05:46.460 on this question.

01:05:48.360 All it is is

01:05:49.240 people talking about

01:05:50.240 it but there's no

01:05:51.020 fact check.

01:05:52.800 That's right.

01:05:53.740 There's no fact

01:05:54.360 check.

01:05:54.680 I couldn't find it.

01:05:55.800 See if you can

01:05:56.340 find it.

01:05:57.360 So as of right

01:05:58.640 now I don't know.

01:06:00.540 I do not know

01:06:01.520 what is true.

01:06:02.660 And you can't

01:06:03.520 find it on the

01:06:04.200 internet and that's

01:06:05.100 not a coincidence.

01:06:06.760 Do you think the

01:06:07.300 internet would get

01:06:08.060 rid of that like

01:06:09.240 by accident?

01:06:10.600 You know there's

01:06:11.180 no fact check on

01:06:12.080 it?

01:06:12.960 If you do a

01:06:13.700 fact check on

01:06:14.220 that shouldn't

01:06:14.640 like the fact

01:06:15.280 check be toward

01:06:15.900 the top and

01:06:16.540 it would be

01:06:16.900 obvious?

01:06:17.680 No.

01:06:17.960 It was all these

01:06:18.480 sources that are

01:06:19.280 completely biased and

01:06:22.020 wouldn't have any

01:06:22.880 value at all.

01:06:25.000 That was my

01:06:25.640 experience.

01:06:26.040 If somebody can

01:06:27.060 find a source that

01:06:29.020 is both credible and

01:06:30.480 clear could you

01:06:32.400 tweet it at me?

01:06:33.800 Because I actually

01:06:34.440 just don't know

01:06:35.000 what's true.

01:06:36.040 I don't have any

01:06:37.060 idea what's true.

01:06:38.040 I'll tell you my

01:06:38.780 hypothesis.

01:06:40.560 My hypothesis is

01:06:42.280 that it's technically

01:06:44.400 true in some states

01:06:45.880 but that there is

01:06:47.860 more to the story.

01:06:50.320 And the more to the

01:06:51.360 story could be for

01:06:52.760 example if you had

01:06:54.740 an extreme situation.

01:06:57.240 Let's say the baby

01:06:58.960 would be born alive

01:07:00.480 but without a

01:07:01.340 functioning brain.

01:07:03.460 Or born alive and

01:07:04.900 would certainly die in

01:07:06.240 five minutes no matter

01:07:07.240 what.

01:07:08.120 But the mother's life

01:07:10.300 is at danger.

01:07:12.260 Under the most rare

01:07:13.680 extreme situation

01:07:15.040 would you want the

01:07:16.780 mother to say you

01:07:17.800 know actually I'm going

01:07:18.780 to save myself.

01:07:20.400 It's my choice.

01:07:22.080 Or would you want

01:07:23.260 the mother not to

01:07:24.680 have the choice and

01:07:25.720 that the state says

01:07:27.540 no.

01:07:28.300 This baby under any

01:07:30.080 condition, every

01:07:31.480 condition, still gets

01:07:33.040 to be born alive.

01:07:34.500 Now my guess is

01:07:35.560 that probably what's

01:07:37.900 happening is something

01:07:38.680 like there's some

01:07:39.440 extreme situation.

01:07:41.800 Now it might also be

01:07:42.900 that they're playing

01:07:44.060 with the definition

01:07:44.840 of a normal birth.

01:07:46.900 for example

01:07:48.620 could it be that

01:07:50.180 it's legal to have

01:07:51.620 the baby just before

01:07:52.840 it's born if you're

01:07:54.600 having some kind of

01:07:56.500 a wrong early birth

01:07:59.040 and the baby is not

01:08:00.580 viable or as viable

01:08:02.240 or something.

01:08:03.700 So could there be

01:08:04.520 some extreme situations

01:08:05.960 that they don't

01:08:06.600 mention where yeah

01:08:08.260 technically it would

01:08:10.940 be legal under the

01:08:12.200 extreme which would

01:08:14.280 be totally unacceptable

01:08:15.660 to the pro-life

01:08:16.500 people.

01:08:16.900 Would you agree?

01:08:17.880 It wouldn't matter

01:08:18.420 if it's extreme to

01:08:19.340 the pro-lifes.

01:08:20.760 Would the pro-life say

01:08:21.940 that the law should

01:08:24.660 allow the mother to 1.00

01:08:25.620 die so that the 0.61

01:08:27.320 baby can live even 0.54

01:08:28.600 if it's not viable?

01:08:30.240 How many would you

01:08:31.220 agree with that?

01:08:32.540 How many would agree

01:08:33.340 that the mother should

01:08:34.460 sacrifice herself and

01:08:36.440 that the state should 1.00

01:08:37.260 make her die so that 0.99

01:08:39.240 a non-viable baby can 0.87

01:08:41.120 be born?

01:08:42.280 Non-viable meaning

01:08:43.340 it's got such major

01:08:44.940 problems.

01:08:45.520 It's not going to

01:08:45.940 have like a regular

01:08:47.180 life.

01:08:50.340 See we don't agree on

01:08:52.180 even basic stuff

01:08:53.140 which is part of the

01:08:55.320 reason I try to stay

01:08:56.200 keep my opinion out of

01:08:57.400 it.

01:08:59.100 But I'm trying to

01:09:00.360 highlight the fact

01:09:01.240 that if you can never

01:09:03.360 agree on this stuff

01:09:04.440 the best you can do

01:09:06.460 is make sure that the

01:09:08.100 people who have the

01:09:08.700 most skin in the game

01:09:09.900 women have a little 1.00

01:09:11.740 more dominant say in

01:09:13.180 the outcome than the

01:09:14.160 people who have less

01:09:14.800 skin in the game.

01:09:15.700 That's the best you

01:09:16.420 can do.

01:09:17.360 If you want

01:09:18.060 credibility make sure

01:09:19.980 the skin in the game

01:09:21.040 people are the people

01:09:21.800 making the decisions.

01:09:23.120 Speaking of which I

01:09:24.060 always use this

01:09:24.680 example if women 1.00

01:09:26.580 wanted to you know

01:09:27.840 vote on law about

01:09:29.520 male circumcision I 0.89

01:09:32.920 would not want them to

01:09:33.760 get involved at all.

01:09:35.760 I'd say I got skin in

01:09:37.400 the game how about I

01:09:40.060 decide that for the

01:09:40.960 future men.

01:09:42.480 How about men

01:09:43.560 figure this out and

01:09:44.440 you just keep out of

01:09:45.400 it.

01:09:45.920 That's what I'd say.

01:09:47.420 Now if only men gave

01:09:49.040 birth and women could 1.00

01:09:51.200 not give birth do you

01:09:52.660 think I would listen to

01:09:53.520 a woman's opinion about

01:09:55.520 what I should do

01:09:56.300 legally or personally.

01:09:58.120 Absolutely not.

01:09:59.560 In fact I'd be

01:10:00.260 offended.

01:10:01.200 I'd be offended if a 1.00

01:10:02.200 woman even offered

01:10:02.860 an opinion.

01:10:03.980 So why wouldn't it be

01:10:05.020 the same the other

01:10:05.600 way.

01:10:07.000 If you are the ones

01:10:08.100 having babies do you

01:10:09.060 want to hear an

01:10:09.480 opinion from somebody

01:10:10.340 who doesn't have

01:10:10.940 babies or never had

01:10:12.400 or can't have.

01:10:14.620 It's not a perfect

01:10:15.640 opinion I just prefer

01:10:17.000 not to muddy the

01:10:18.880 waters with my less

01:10:20.580 than useful opinion

01:10:21.540 on that because I'm

01:10:24.180 not going to have any

01:10:24.720 babies.

01:10:26.020 All right let's talk

01:10:27.480 about Purgosian.

01:10:30.300 Everybody hear that

01:10:31.580 Purgosian well he's 0.93

01:10:35.360 allegedly he allegedly

01:10:37.000 was on his plane with

01:10:39.480 the other founders of

01:10:41.640 Wagner and then it

01:10:44.760 apparently got shot

01:10:45.840 down by the Russian 1.00

01:10:46.820 military.

01:10:48.900 Now there are several

01:10:51.580 possibilities.

01:10:52.880 One possibility is that

01:10:54.740 the plan was for Purgosian

01:10:56.160 to live his retirement in

01:10:57.860 Belarus.

01:10:58.700 He just hadn't gotten

01:10:59.660 there yet but there was a

01:11:02.260 mechanical problem on the

01:11:03.420 plane and well talk about

01:11:05.700 bad luck he went through a

01:11:07.000 whole war without getting

01:11:08.100 injured and just flying in a

01:11:10.700 plane took him down.

01:11:12.600 Bad luck.

01:11:13.640 Well that's one possibility.

01:11:15.180 Let's say that's the least

01:11:16.540 likely possibility.

01:11:18.340 Next likely possibility he was

01:11:20.840 on the plane and the whole 0.99

01:11:23.860 plan was to kill him so it 0.98

01:11:25.500 didn't look as much like he was 1.00

01:11:27.480 just murdered.

01:11:27.960 Maybe.

01:11:30.260 Maybe.

01:11:31.780 The other possibility is he's

01:11:34.360 been dead for a long time but

01:11:36.680 they don't want to say that

01:11:37.800 because the Wagner people and

01:11:39.100 other people might get mad so

01:11:41.120 they have to create a fake

01:11:42.820 a fake Purgosian put his name on

01:11:47.120 the passenger list.

01:11:48.820 Apparently they found his cell

01:11:50.220 phone but not his body.

01:11:52.500 That was today's news.

01:11:53.560 Who knows what's real.

01:11:54.880 But it would be pretty easy to put

01:11:56.580 his phone on there and put his

01:11:57.680 name on it shoot it down and say

01:11:59.780 oh yeah he was fine.

01:12:01.540 We were best friends until some

01:12:03.800 tragic thing happened with the

01:12:05.560 mechanical part of his plane.

01:12:07.980 Maybe.

01:12:09.340 The other possibility is that

01:12:10.880 Purgosian is not dead and that

01:12:13.300 from the start he has been

01:12:15.440 interrogated and you know there

01:12:18.020 may be future information he's

01:12:19.960 willing to give up and he's still

01:12:21.820 an asset for figuring out who the

01:12:23.420 other coup plotters were or for

01:12:25.300 leverage on somebody.

01:12:26.800 But if you're going to keep him

01:12:28.380 forever as a prisoner that's not

01:12:31.380 cool if a lot of people still

01:12:32.880 support him.

01:12:34.140 So you're going to have to pretend

01:12:35.640 he's dead to keep him as a

01:12:37.760 prisoner so you can interrogate him 0.95

01:12:39.480 forever.

01:12:41.400 Which of those possibilities do you

01:12:43.260 think is most likely as of today?

01:12:46.900 Do you think he was on the plane?

01:12:49.640 The one thing that we can be sure of

01:12:51.900 may I summarize his condition

01:12:54.940 without knowing any of the other

01:12:56.680 particulars?

01:12:58.060 So without knowing where he was or

01:12:59.740 what's happened to him I'd like to

01:13:01.060 summarize Purgosian's condition.

01:13:05.140 He's not doing well.

01:13:09.540 That's it.

01:13:10.640 He's not doing well.

01:13:12.400 That we can say for sure.

01:13:14.660 So the whole Belarus situation? 0.73

01:13:16.820 No.

01:13:17.400 Nope.

01:13:17.840 Nope.

01:13:18.400 Nope.

01:13:18.700 Nope.

01:13:18.900 Now may I ask this question?

01:13:22.980 Who had the first and best take on

01:13:26.660 Purgosian in the entire world? 0.99

01:13:29.360 I'll just sit down and read your

01:13:30.760 comments.

01:13:32.460 It was you.

01:13:34.560 Yeah it was me.

01:13:36.360 So I don't know why there weren't

01:13:38.680 more people at least in the public.

01:13:40.760 There were a lot of individuals.

01:13:42.640 I see a lot of you were on the same

01:13:44.280 page.

01:13:44.840 So individually a lot of citizens

01:13:46.820 knew exactly what was happening from

01:13:48.420 the start.

01:13:49.760 But I feel like the I feel like the 0.98

01:13:53.340 public news was just acting stupid 0.98

01:13:56.260 or something. 0.99

01:13:57.540 Didn't they all know exactly that

01:13:59.540 from the very beginning he was

01:14:02.440 either already dead or was never

01:14:04.800 going to be seen again.

01:14:06.200 There was never any chance he was

01:14:07.600 going to go to Belarus.

01:14:08.460 If you ever believe the Belarus story 0.99

01:14:11.620 even after his plane went there,

01:14:13.600 you already watched Russia fake one

01:14:17.500 Purgosian plane trip.

01:14:19.980 You think they wouldn't do it again?

01:14:23.000 Now, 0.99

01:14:23.960 allegedly Putin likes to kill his 1.00

01:14:26.940 critics. 0.99

01:14:28.100 Allegedly.

01:14:29.380 All right.

01:14:29.940 So I have one viewer who wants me to

01:14:31.600 say allegedly.

01:14:32.120 But if it's true that he's been

01:14:36.160 poisoning his critics,

01:14:37.700 do you see a pattern?

01:14:40.040 If it's true he poisoned his

01:14:41.840 critics,

01:14:43.080 then it would suggest that there's a 0.96

01:14:44.980 certain way he likes to kill people 0.73

01:14:46.480 and it would have the following 0.98

01:14:47.880 characteristics.

01:14:49.480 Number one, 0.78

01:14:50.720 they would know he's murdering them 0.63

01:14:52.740 for a long time before they died.

01:14:56.340 Right?

01:14:56.900 Because the poison,

01:14:58.580 it takes a while.

01:15:00.700 So you know you're dying

01:15:01.780 and you know exactly who did it.

01:15:04.760 And the entire world knows exactly

01:15:06.580 who did it,

01:15:07.820 but you can't really do anything

01:15:09.340 about it.

01:15:10.400 So it's almost as if he wants not

01:15:12.860 only the victim to know it, 1.00

01:15:14.700 I'm killing you now. 1.00

01:15:16.220 It's going to take a while, 1.00

01:15:17.100 but I'm murdering you. 1.00

01:15:18.000 It's me. 0.96

01:15:18.800 Hey,

01:15:19.060 it's me. 0.99

01:15:19.480 I'm killing you. 0.98

01:15:21.100 And he wants everybody who is 0.99

01:15:22.840 another critic to know that they

01:15:24.420 could get poisoned the same way.

01:15:25.340 Right?

01:15:27.000 So he's sending a message

01:15:28.280 with this weirdly obvious play

01:15:31.520 that,

01:15:32.320 you know,

01:15:32.500 this polonium that only the Russia 0.96

01:15:33.960 seems to have.

01:15:35.360 But he wants everybody to know

01:15:36.960 while still saying,

01:15:38.060 what?

01:15:38.320 I don't know what you're talking about.

01:15:39.460 There's no evidence connecting it

01:15:40.900 to me.

01:15:41.700 Now look at the plane situation,

01:15:43.880 Perugosian's plane.

01:15:45.540 Did you notice that from the videos

01:15:48.020 there was some problem with it?

01:15:50.280 It looked like maybe a missile

01:15:51.700 or something.

01:15:52.120 But it fell from a very long distance

01:15:55.040 for a long time,

01:15:56.780 presumably while everybody

01:15:58.140 was still alive on the inside.

01:16:00.800 So all the way down,

01:16:02.860 they had to know 0.98

01:16:04.020 that Putin was killing them. 0.73

01:16:07.060 He was doing it in a very public way. 0.84

01:16:10.500 And everybody would know he did it.

01:16:12.440 And he would still have some out

01:16:14.360 to say,

01:16:14.780 well,

01:16:14.940 I don't know.

01:16:15.640 Must have been some mechanical problem.

01:16:18.800 Right?

01:16:19.560 So,

01:16:20.280 Putin,

01:16:22.020 if he's the murderer that

01:16:23.640 our people say he is,

01:16:26.220 he has a way of doing it

01:16:28.240 that's exactly this. 0.98

01:16:30.820 Make sure the people getting killed

01:16:32.400 know they're being murdered

01:16:33.560 so they can really let it sink in

01:16:35.580 before they actually die.

01:16:37.280 Make sure there's deniability,

01:16:38.860 but such weak deniability

01:16:40.620 that everybody knows he did it.

01:16:43.860 Do you remember when people said

01:16:45.080 Putin is weak

01:16:46.200 because of the Wagner revolt?

01:16:49.960 That's what they said.

01:16:50.880 They said he's weak.

01:16:53.120 What do you think today?

01:16:54.960 Does he feel weak today?

01:16:57.380 No,

01:16:57.700 he feels like somebody

01:16:58.620 who just wiped out

01:16:59.420 the entire Wagner leadership

01:17:00.820 and made the story

01:17:02.980 about Purgosian

01:17:04.640 so he don't think so much

01:17:05.640 about the leadership

01:17:06.300 that he took out.

01:17:08.500 I think it was a strong play.

01:17:10.860 I think it makes him look strong.

01:17:13.700 And,

01:17:14.180 you know,

01:17:14.420 there's a lot of chatter,

01:17:15.540 I don't know if you're hearing it,

01:17:16.280 that Ukraine is ready to fold.

01:17:19.320 Do you believe that's true?

01:17:21.320 Remember,

01:17:21.940 everything out of that area 0.99

01:17:23.180 is bullshit 0.99

01:17:24.620 and bias 1.00

01:17:25.320 and lies

01:17:25.880 and propaganda.

01:17:27.040 There's no way to know.

01:17:28.240 But the idea is that

01:17:29.580 the Ukrainians

01:17:30.660 are like running out 0.98

01:17:31.780 of soldiers.

01:17:34.100 But we've also heard

01:17:35.280 that about the Russians,

01:17:36.860 that they're running

01:17:37.860 out of soldiers.

01:17:38.920 But it doesn't appear

01:17:39.940 that the Russians

01:17:40.500 are running out of soldiers.

01:17:41.980 It doesn't appear

01:17:42.800 that there's any major

01:17:44.220 internal strife.

01:17:46.120 It doesn't appear

01:17:46.760 that their economy

01:17:47.540 is going to crash soon.

01:17:49.720 I mean,

01:17:49.920 they have some problems

01:17:50.620 with getting high-tech stuff

01:17:52.220 in the long run.

01:17:53.140 But they'll probably figure out

01:17:54.300 some work around for that.

01:17:56.220 And they still have cash.

01:17:57.380 So, at the moment,

01:18:00.620 it looks like Russia

01:18:01.780 can grind on Ukraine 1.00

01:18:03.080 as long as it wants.

01:18:04.700 And it wants to do it

01:18:06.140 until they're done.

01:18:08.800 So, what's going to happen?

01:18:10.740 I still think that a Republican

01:18:12.120 could end the war in a day,

01:18:13.800 but we'll see.

01:18:16.000 All right.

01:18:17.700 Ladies and gentlemen,

01:18:18.700 is there any topic

01:18:19.660 that I've forgotten?

01:18:21.360 I think we've gone long enough.

01:18:22.620 I think it's the best show

01:18:24.040 you've ever seen.

01:18:24.940 If you get a chance

01:18:25.820 to pick up my incredible

01:18:27.640 Change the World book,

01:18:28.880 Reframe Your Brain,

01:18:30.560 people are buying

01:18:31.720 many copies of it.

01:18:33.860 And it's doing great.

01:18:36.340 My conversation with Roseanne

01:18:39.420 is being released today.

01:18:42.940 So, look for that interview.

01:18:45.360 We had a lot of fun.

01:18:46.940 And, yeah.

01:18:47.960 So, Roseanne today.

01:18:49.220 I've got some other podcasts

01:18:51.480 that I'm doing.

01:18:53.740 I'm going to do

01:18:54.340 Roger Stone's radio show.

01:18:58.060 So, that'll be fun.

01:19:01.880 You know, I have a weird way

01:19:05.340 of deciding who to talk to

01:19:07.440 for podcasts.

01:19:10.040 I did Clifton Duncan's yesterday.

01:19:12.660 You'll see that in a few days.

01:19:14.920 And, but when Roger Stone called,

01:19:17.220 or, you know, messaged me,

01:19:20.140 I thought to myself,

01:19:21.000 how do you not do,

01:19:22.660 how do you not do

01:19:24.540 Roger Stone's interview?

01:19:26.920 Like, how do you not do that?

01:19:28.740 I mean, just for the experience.

01:19:31.020 Yeah.

01:19:31.800 Just for the experience.

01:19:33.500 So, I'm going to do that.

01:19:34.980 That'll be fun.

01:19:35.820 And I'll probably do

01:19:36.760 a bunch more.

01:19:38.040 So, you're going to see me.

01:19:38.880 You're going to see too much of me.

01:19:40.300 But, YouTube,

01:19:41.180 thanks for joining.

01:19:42.860 Best live stream

01:19:43.680 you've ever seen.

01:19:44.600 And I will talk.
