Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2212 Scott Adams： Lots Of Fake News Today. Goes Well With Coffee

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

00:00:13.640 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and I'm pretty sure there's never been a better time this morning.

00:00:19.700 If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that you can only get with a prescription,

00:00:25.520 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stye

00:00:28.820 and a canteen jug or a flask of a vessel of any kind

00:00:31.960 filling with your favorite liquid.

00:00:35.060 I like coffee.

00:00:36.500 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:39.440 the dopamine at the end of the day,

00:00:40.560 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:43.040 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:46.300 Go.

00:00:50.600 Oh, good.

00:00:51.780 Lord, that's good.

00:00:53.660 That's some good, good coffee.

00:00:56.500 All right.

00:00:58.140 Well, you might be aware that Florida is New College of Florida.

00:01:04.120 I didn't know how to say that without saying Florida twice,

00:01:06.900 but it's Florida's New College of Florida.

00:01:09.900 Apparently, they're floundering and a huge percentage of their professors quit

00:01:14.660 because mean old DeSantis, Governor DeSantis,

00:01:18.400 and some Republicans told them that they couldn't teach 0.98

00:01:22.260 some kind of brainwashing bullshit to kids so they all quit. 0.95

00:01:30.320 I feel like, I just don't feel like the details of this story are necessary. 1.00

00:01:34.840 I mean, basically, the summary is the governor said they can't teach destructive bullshit to children, 0.98

00:01:42.160 and so half of the teachers quit. 1.00

00:01:43.980 Like, we really, really do want to teach them destructive bullshit. 0.99

00:01:47.320 Like, my career was really based on this. 0.99

00:01:51.540 So, that's the whole story.

00:01:55.240 There's nothing else to say about that.

00:01:57.900 Correction. 0.99

00:01:59.420 Do you like it when I admit I'm wrong or stupid? 1.00

00:02:02.280 If you live for those moments where I'm wrong or stupid, 1.00

00:02:08.260 well, take a sip and settle back, 1.00

00:02:11.200 because you're going to have one of those moments where I was wrong and stupid. 0.99

00:02:16.380 I, rather hastily, several days ago, 0.99

00:02:20.140 told you that there was a study, and that Dr. Jordan Peterson had tweeted it,

00:02:24.580 that showed remarkable health outcomes from people who ate just meat.

00:02:30.680 You know, sort of the all-meat diet.

00:02:33.600 That's a diet that I think is what Dr. Peterson has been on.

00:02:38.340 Claims great success. 1.00

00:02:40.760 Here's the part where I was stupid and silly. 1.00

00:02:46.420 It wasn't so much a randomized, controlled trial as it was a thing on Facebook. 0.99

00:02:51.620 I'm sorry.

00:02:57.300 Now, in my defense, and it's a very weak defense, right?

00:03:04.120 So, I'm still all bad, but just to give you some context.

00:03:08.460 If I see something tweeted by Jordan Peterson,

00:03:12.740 and it seems to refer to anything science-y,

00:03:15.420 I just sort of automatically think he's checked it out.

00:03:18.180 Like, I don't really feel like my checking it out

00:03:22.100 would add anything to him checking it out,

00:03:25.160 because he would have a better filter on that stuff.

00:03:27.780 But I think this is a case where the non-scientific study

00:03:32.740 agreed with his own experience.

00:03:35.720 So, let's call it a number of anecdotal reports that seem to line up,

00:03:41.420 which is fair.

00:03:43.140 So, I mean, I don't mind that he tweeted it.

00:03:45.220 I should have done a little more digging.

00:03:49.860 You know, just maybe one click would have been good for me.

00:03:53.300 So, let that be a cautionary tale. 0.78

00:03:56.260 Sometimes that one extra click will save you for some ridiculousness.

00:04:02.360 All right.

00:04:04.040 My favorite topic is backwards causation science.

00:04:09.180 I think this might be like a whole segment that I do on a regular basis.

00:04:14.700 Backwards causation science.

00:04:17.660 All right.

00:04:17.980 There's a study that says night people don't earn as much money as morning people.

00:04:24.920 They're trying to untangle the causation.

00:04:29.180 I don't know.

00:04:30.000 I'm going to go out on a limb and say that people who tend to be awake during the work day

00:04:38.720 might make more money than people who are asleep during the work day.

00:04:45.160 Or even people whose best energy is during the work day

00:04:49.220 probably get more done than the people whose best energy is not during the work day.

00:04:56.280 So, I don't know that there's a lot of mystery to this.

00:04:58.760 I feel like the real thing is some people are night people and some people are morning people.

00:05:04.460 But do you really need to study why the morning people make more money?

00:05:10.800 Do we need more information about that?

00:05:13.420 Or were you sort of on board with that ahead of time?

00:05:18.460 Now, I get that if you're a night person and you're a writer or you work at home, it might work fine.

00:05:24.300 But no, there's not much mystery to this one.

00:05:27.580 Let's do another one.

00:05:28.760 Now, apparently a good marriage reduces the rate of psychopathy in the marriage.

00:05:39.960 Okay.

00:05:40.960 Yeah, it's the good marriage thing that makes your mental health better.

00:05:47.040 What would be another way you could look at this?

00:05:49.460 Oh, could it be that psychopaths don't have good marriages?

00:05:55.760 Anybody? Anybody?

00:05:57.880 I might be on to something there.

00:06:00.020 Let's see. 0.90

00:06:01.060 A normal person marries a psychopath.

00:06:03.080 I think that would all go fine as long as they start with having a good marriage.

00:06:08.700 It would fix this. 0.97

00:06:10.040 No, this is ridiculous. 0.70

00:06:11.300 This is what is passing a science in our world today. 0.83

00:06:18.840 This is not science. 0.99

00:06:20.860 These are ridiculous. 0.99

00:06:22.320 All right. 0.98

00:06:23.940 There's a study that says young people are far less likely to say they want to grow up and be parents and have babies.

00:06:32.640 Let's look for all of the many social reasons for this.

00:06:40.320 All right.

00:06:41.960 Let's look at all the things that are causing this.

00:06:46.900 It's just money.

00:06:48.680 Hello.

00:06:49.560 It's money.

00:06:51.280 May I ruin your, let's say, sense of romance about children by pointing out that for most of human history,

00:07:00.180 children were either an accident or an economic investment.

00:07:04.100 Because, you know, back before there was Social Security and stuff like that, retirement packages,

00:07:12.980 you pretty much had to have kids or you were going to be dead when you were 40.

00:07:18.480 Or you wouldn't be able to defend yourself.

00:07:20.580 You wouldn't be able to collect enough food.

00:07:22.160 You wouldn't be able to farm.

00:07:23.420 So basically, children have always been to make money.

00:07:28.780 Now, sure, people love their children, too.

00:07:31.140 And, you know, I'm sure people also had, you know, feelings about, you know, just natural biological urges.

00:07:38.740 But mostly, have I ever told you that follow the money works even when you're sure it shouldn't?

00:07:46.320 Perfect example.

00:07:47.740 Perfect example.

00:07:49.240 If your romantic mind says people have children because they're, I don't know, glorifying God

00:07:57.860 or they're bringing more love into the world or, as Elon Musk says, they're extending the light of human consciousness.

00:08:07.640 Sure, sure, there's that.

00:08:10.320 Uh-huh, there's a little of that.

00:08:12.440 But why is it that whenever the economics of having children is bad, we just stop it?

00:08:18.680 We're just like, well, I'm out.

00:08:20.420 I'm out.

00:08:21.440 You know, if it's going to make me less likely to retire, I'm out.

00:08:25.360 And I think people are just looking at it that way.

00:08:29.260 So you could spend all day long looking at all the other reasons, but they would only apply to Elon Musk.

00:08:36.240 Right?

00:08:36.760 Elon Musk has lots of kids.

00:08:39.060 He's not doing it for the money.

00:08:41.340 Doesn't need the money.

00:08:42.940 He's actually doing it because, you know, the larger, you know, higher purpose kind of thinking.

00:08:48.840 But plus some biological urges, I'm sure.

00:08:51.160 So he's probably doing it for something that looks like exactly the right reasons plus biology.

00:08:57.920 But the average person doesn't have that option.

00:09:01.060 So there's no chance this will change while the economics are the way they are.

00:09:07.060 Do you think there's anything you can tell people or teach them that would make them want to have more babies when economically it's a disaster?

00:09:16.660 I don't think so.

00:09:18.140 I don't think there's any way to fix that.

00:09:21.640 Why is there a higher rate of kids in, let's say, immigrant or recent immigrant populations?

00:09:30.120 Possibly because they're still in a situation where having children is a better guarantee that their older years will be comfortable and they'll have people around them for support.

00:09:40.440 There's no mystery to any of it.

00:09:41.920 It's just economics.

00:09:42.740 Larry Elder is on this, of course, saying that, you know, whatever happened in, you know, the Johnson administration, the Grace Society, you change the economics so you could be a single mother without, you know, dying of starvation, I guess.

00:09:58.720 So no, no mystery there.

00:10:01.360 Here's one that might be a mystery.

00:10:03.000 Apparently, wine drinking in Europe is plunging.

00:10:07.080 So the European Commission looked at the data and said that wine consumption has fallen 7% in Italy, 10% in Spain, 15% in France, and 22% in Germany, 34% in Portugal.

00:10:20.060 What?

00:10:21.180 In Portugal, drinking is down 34%.

00:10:24.580 Wow.

00:10:27.340 While wine production was going up.

00:10:29.240 So they were making more wine at the same time demand was plunging.

00:10:34.500 I wonder if there's some kind of meme that's spreading the world, that's reducing the amount.

00:10:42.880 Hmm.

00:10:44.940 Alcohol is poison.

00:10:47.820 Isn't it a weird coincidence that whenever I tell you I'm going to make something happen, it happens globally?

00:10:55.060 How is that possible?

00:10:56.280 Am I just guessing right?

00:10:59.240 I mean, I'm not taking any, I'm not going to take any credit for, you know, wine consumption in Europe.

00:11:06.640 Obviously, I had nothing to do with that.

00:11:08.500 But, no, I'm saying I had nothing to do with it.

00:11:11.400 So before you mock me, wait till the end of the sentence.

00:11:16.240 There's no way that I'm affecting wine consumption in Europe.

00:11:19.160 Let's be honest about that.

00:11:20.980 But how do I keep guessing right?

00:11:25.120 I mean, I feel like I end up accidentally on the right side of stuff.

00:11:32.620 I don't know how that happens, really.

00:11:34.220 I mean, it just feels like a weird coincidence again.

00:11:37.000 So who knows?

00:11:37.840 It could be just, again, follow the money might be the entire explanation.

00:11:44.000 They might just feel that there's a pinch and there's gotten back.

00:11:47.220 It might be marijuana.

00:11:48.100 It might be just greater understanding of health consequences.

00:11:53.060 Was it 10 years ago that we all believed that drinking every day, as long as it was moderate, was actually good for you?

00:11:59.440 Do you remember that?

00:12:00.880 One of the first big things I debunked before I was doing it publicly as much.

00:12:06.340 You know, debunking, for 20, I don't know, 30 years I've been debunking that alcohol is good for you in small amounts.

00:12:13.280 But now the science has quite, has quite dramatically turned, right?

00:12:18.660 So wouldn't you say that the science is saying that it's not good for you?

00:12:22.360 Maybe, maybe that's having an effect.

00:12:25.400 All right.

00:12:27.520 Here's an update on a technique I've been using with great success and I recommend it.

00:12:32.200 You've heard of luxury beliefs, right?

00:12:37.860 Luxury beliefs.

00:12:39.400 It's the idea that, say, bragging that you recycle is a luxury belief.

00:12:47.720 Michael Schellenberg says that the worst thing you can do for the planet is recycle your plastic because they don't actually recycle it.

00:12:54.920 They throw it in the ocean in Thailand or someplace.

00:12:57.140 And basically, basically, it's a whole scam.

00:13:01.260 The whole plastic recycling thing isn't even real.

00:13:03.920 It never has been.

00:13:04.860 It's never been real.

00:13:06.620 Just one more thing that you thought was real that never was.

00:13:10.220 But anyway, there are such things as luxury beliefs.

00:13:13.980 And they're much like, especially for women, let me go full sexist here. 0.77

00:13:21.080 I'll make an analogy.

00:13:22.280 If you're, let's say, a reasonably good-looking guy, and you think you've got some value, and you're going to date a woman, and she's maybe about equal to you, and you pull up in an embarrassing automobile, what does that woman's opinion of you immediately go to, even if otherwise you're just great?

00:13:44.960 You know, your income is fine.

00:13:46.560 Everything's fine.

00:13:47.880 But your car is a little embarrassing.

00:13:49.560 So that's an accessory.

00:13:54.580 Long ago, I realized that at least heterosexual women treat the man's automobile as their accessory, very much like their earrings, very much like their purse, very much like their clothing. 0.64

00:14:09.980 It's something they're associated with in a style sense.

00:14:14.060 So if they don't want to be associated with your automobile, you're going to have some problems.

00:14:18.780 And by the way, I've had that exact problem.

00:14:21.860 You know, in my 20s, I had a car that was called the Bondo car, because, like, the paint was all coming off.

00:14:28.080 And it used, like, a quart of oil every time I drove it, because it just left a stream of oil on the street.

00:14:34.880 Yeah, it was just a disaster.

00:14:36.720 And let's just say I wasn't doing too well in the lady slaying category. 0.60

00:14:42.680 Not with that car.

00:14:43.360 Anyway, so the general idea that women in particular see the things that are associated with them as accessories. 0.99

00:14:53.000 Men can be a little bit more, let's say, resistant to stuff.

00:14:57.640 You know, resistant to style, especially.

00:15:00.660 Men can often say, you know, forget your style.

00:15:03.600 I'm just going to go for function.

00:15:06.040 You know, you can have an opinion about that.

00:15:08.540 I'm just saying it happens.

00:15:09.420 And so extend that into beliefs, the luxury beliefs.

00:15:17.520 People want, the same way that you want an automobile or your jewelry or your purse to be a good representation of who you are or what you want to protect,

00:15:27.300 your beliefs become also an accessory.

00:15:30.540 So if you've got a good belief, like climate change, you know, that would be a luxury belief, independent of what's true or not.

00:15:40.940 That's not the argument.

00:15:42.380 But if you say you're on that side, that would be the good accessory.

00:15:46.620 That makes you look good.

00:15:48.740 There are a number of issues like that.

00:15:51.900 But I found that there's a technique I use that will ruin people's accessory and make them stop arguing in any way that bothers you.

00:16:05.220 They might still keep chattering, but it will stop bothering you immediately.

00:16:09.680 And it goes like this.

00:16:12.420 I'm sorry your news sources have done this to you. 0.79

00:16:15.100 It's a total killer.

00:16:19.820 Because if you take somebody's accessory, their luxury belief, and you reframe it as a victim story,

00:16:27.360 oh, I'm sorry that they did this to you.

00:16:29.080 That's a bad look.

00:16:31.400 It's a bad look.

00:16:33.460 I'm sorry they did it to you.

00:16:35.540 There's nothing wrong with you.

00:16:37.500 You're good.

00:16:38.760 I have no complaint with you.

00:16:40.240 You are a victim of something very powerful, and I wish you the best.

00:16:46.680 If there's a way that I can help you recover from it, I'd like to do that.

00:16:51.700 Now, who wants that as their accessory?

00:16:54.420 Oh, I'm sorry that you believe that.

00:16:56.560 If I could help you, I would.

00:16:59.580 You immediately get at a combat level.

00:17:02.420 So on X, this happens a lot.

00:17:05.300 You know, I'll tweet something, and then some weird luxury belief person, often a woman, 1.00

00:17:12.420 will come in and say, blah, blah, blah, you know, everything you say is untrue.

00:17:17.140 Because they haven't been exposed to anything like actual news.

00:17:20.720 They've just been victims.

00:17:22.760 And I actually don't see them anymore as my combatants.

00:17:28.240 I used to frame the Internet, you know, arguments as combatants.

00:17:35.600 But sometimes they are.

00:17:37.300 Like, sometimes you actually have a real disagreement, and maybe that is a combatant situation somewhat.

00:17:42.920 But mostly, 98% of the time, the people who come at me are coming at me with wrong information

00:17:50.660 because they've been poisoned by their news sources.

00:17:54.020 And I'm not saying, you know, I'm the one who has all the answers,

00:17:56.360 but it's really easy to tell when somebody doesn't, right?

00:18:00.400 It's hard to know who has right answers,

00:18:02.560 but it's really, really easy to know who has one that's completely wrong

00:18:06.580 because you've seen more context than they have, right?

00:18:10.160 If you've seen more context, you're not wondering if they're wrong

00:18:14.180 because you've seen more than they have.

00:18:16.440 At the very least, they should say they recognize the context

00:18:19.800 and maybe they don't agree with something.

00:18:21.760 But if they've never seen the context, they're just victims.

00:18:26.360 So, think of this.

00:18:29.020 Instead of framing your combatant as somebody who's an enemy you must defeat,

00:18:35.500 treat them immediately as somebody you have sympathy for,

00:18:38.940 and you'd be happy to help if there's something that they don't understand.

00:18:43.880 Watch what happens.

00:18:45.900 You can actually make them hate their own luxury belief.

00:18:51.220 Try it. You'll like it.

00:18:52.680 All right, here's a clarification

00:18:57.160 because I believe that we whiteys have insulted our black American citizens,

00:19:05.300 and I would like to clarify.

00:19:08.620 Now, this is not me personally.

00:19:10.260 I personally have not made this mistake.

00:19:12.640 But I've seen a number of people do this.

00:19:14.320 And by the way, I don't think it was exactly a mistake

00:19:16.900 so much as could have been clearer.

00:19:19.900 All right?

00:19:20.880 So, this is a could have been clearer situation.

00:19:24.320 Nobody's really the bad guy.

00:19:26.140 This is just something that could have been clearer.

00:19:28.060 I saw both Adam Coleman and Jeff Charles make the same comment. 0.70

00:19:34.520 Now, both of them are black,

00:19:36.760 and they both said that, 0.76

00:19:39.120 I'm paraphrasing,

00:19:40.300 but basically they pointed out

00:19:41.800 that it's a little sketchy,

00:19:44.000 these are my words,

00:19:46.120 a little sketchy that conservatives are saying

00:19:49.100 that Trump might get the black vote

00:19:53.380 because he got arrested and might go to jail.

00:19:58.260 And, you know, two voices that I would respect,

00:20:01.180 both Adam Coleman and Jeff Charles,

00:20:02.900 both smart people,

00:20:04.500 said, wait a minute, wait a minute. 0.82

00:20:06.180 Are you saying that black people are going to vote for them 1.00

00:20:08.460 because they're all criminals? 1.00

00:20:11.040 Is that what you're suggesting? 0.99

00:20:13.240 That you get the black vote by being a criminal? 0.98

00:20:16.100 Are you really saying that? 0.99

00:20:18.080 And the answer is no.

00:20:19.280 No, nobody is saying that.

00:20:21.840 Clarification.

00:20:23.000 It's not the jail part.

00:20:24.800 It's the falsely accused part.

00:20:27.620 It's the falsely accused part.

00:20:29.700 That's the point people are making.

00:20:31.340 Nobody's saying that going to jail

00:20:33.780 makes you get the black vote.

00:20:35.940 Don't hear that. 0.96

00:20:39.180 Nobody's saying that.

00:20:41.040 Literally nobody is saying that.

00:20:42.880 They're saying it's the falsely accused part.

00:20:45.200 If there's anything that anybody can relate to,

00:20:48.940 it's the falsely accused.

00:20:52.080 Anyway, so apology

00:20:53.940 for anybody who heard that differently

00:20:57.200 because we could be a little bit more clear about that.

00:21:00.480 So just a recommendation.

00:21:01.940 If you're going to press that point,

00:21:05.560 and I think it's actually worth pressing

00:21:07.420 because I do think the falsely accused thing

00:21:09.940 might actually strike a blow

00:21:12.080 or strike a chord.

00:21:14.120 But make sure you're talking about the falsely accused part.

00:21:16.960 All right.

00:21:18.160 I remind you that masks are

00:21:20.720 threatening to make a comeback.

00:21:23.660 We're still looking for the first

00:21:25.380 Fortune 500 company

00:21:27.180 to require masks

00:21:29.040 so we can attack them quickly

00:21:31.320 and put them out of business. 0.98

00:21:33.240 Now, the first one has to be hit hard.

00:21:35.980 The problem will be

00:21:37.200 if there's a whole bunch that go at the same time

00:21:39.340 because the government told them

00:21:40.440 to do it at the same time.

00:21:42.120 That could be a problem.

00:21:44.240 But if somebody makes the mistake

00:21:45.880 of being in the news first, 0.98

00:21:48.340 you have to hit them as hard as you can

00:21:50.360 with consumer action.

00:21:52.420 You know, just stop buying

00:21:53.900 for as long as you need to

00:21:55.000 if you can.

00:21:56.520 Now, we did see, like,

00:21:57.620 Kaiser Healthcare

00:21:59.060 is masking their employees,

00:22:01.720 but they clarified

00:22:02.580 that did not include customers.

00:22:06.220 Now, but they're also not exactly

00:22:07.800 a for-profit entity.

00:22:09.320 It's more like a member-run situation.

00:22:12.360 So that's not really

00:22:13.100 the great boycott situation.

00:22:15.300 And then I said Lionsgate

00:22:16.320 had just, like, one floor of one office

00:22:18.460 because they had an outbreak there.

00:22:20.680 This is just too trivial.

00:22:22.420 But if somebody goes big,

00:22:23.760 like an actual Fortune 500,

00:22:26.380 and they say,

00:22:26.960 we've decided that

00:22:28.360 for the good of the nation,

00:22:29.900 we're all going to be masked

00:22:31.240 and all of our customers do,

00:22:33.200 you've got to take them

00:22:34.060 out of business right away.

00:22:35.400 Like, actually just demolish them.

00:22:38.060 Because otherwise,

00:22:38.780 you're going to wear masks 0.97

00:22:39.520 for the rest of your frickin' life. 0.90

00:22:41.040 So you're going to have to go hard. 0.94

00:22:43.400 All right.

00:22:46.900 TikTok won.

00:22:47.880 So I hate to admit defeat,

00:22:52.020 but for several years,

00:22:53.680 I've been trying to recommend

00:22:56.080 that TikTok would be banned.

00:22:59.840 And I got a lot of support,

00:23:01.880 a lot of voices on the same side,

00:23:04.680 saying that TikTok is a mass

00:23:06.280 brainwashing device.

00:23:08.040 It's so powerful and destructive

00:23:09.860 that the country that makes it,

00:23:12.860 China,

00:23:13.140 won't allow it in their own country

00:23:15.940 because it would be too dangerous

00:23:17.580 for their children.

00:23:19.440 But they're happy to give it to us.

00:23:21.800 And of course,

00:23:22.640 TikTok may be the reason

00:23:24.000 that people are

00:23:25.260 confused about their gender.

00:23:28.340 Not just one reason,

00:23:29.700 but it might be a big part of that.

00:23:32.700 And probably a lot of other

00:23:34.420 anti-American stuff.

00:23:35.440 Yesterday I turned on Fox News

00:23:37.380 and apparently they are

00:23:39.860 accepting advertising from TikTok.

00:23:42.640 And they had this commercial

00:23:43.720 about a veteran

00:23:45.200 who used TikTok to get money

00:23:48.960 so that his life was not sad 0.96

00:23:50.620 and pathetic 0.98

00:23:51.140 because he was a disabled veteran 1.00

00:23:53.300 and elderly.

00:23:55.640 So Fox News is gone.

00:23:58.420 I did a Google search

00:24:00.020 and Fox News has been anti-TikTok

00:24:03.080 really strongly

00:24:03.960 for all of this year.

00:24:06.980 If you look at the stories,

00:24:08.060 it would be Fox News,

00:24:09.160 TikTok's bad,

00:24:10.040 ban TikTok,

00:24:11.220 ban.

00:24:11.900 So now watch what happens

00:24:13.300 to the coverage

00:24:13.880 after yesterday.

00:24:15.980 Do you think Fox News

00:24:16.940 is going to go hard

00:24:17.760 at their advertiser?

00:24:23.820 Do you know what personality

00:24:25.520 on Fox News

00:24:26.580 was probably,

00:24:27.520 I think,

00:24:28.100 the strongest

00:24:29.120 anti-TikTok person?

00:24:32.220 Who was the strongest

00:24:33.180 anti-TikTok person?

00:24:35.520 Tucker Carlson.

00:24:37.240 Tucker Carlson.

00:24:38.380 He was the strongest

00:24:39.700 anti-TikTok person.

00:24:45.200 So,

00:24:46.480 in my opinion,

00:24:50.380 the only possibility

00:24:51.840 for TikTok to be banned

00:24:53.440 was if Republicans

00:24:55.220 got enough control

00:24:56.980 to do it.

00:24:57.560 if Fox News

00:24:59.480 is taking advertising

00:25:00.580 from TikTok,

00:25:01.720 you're not going to see,

00:25:04.100 I don't think,

00:25:05.020 I don't think you'll see

00:25:05.880 much in the way

00:25:06.500 of any pushback

00:25:07.320 on TikTok

00:25:07.780 because it would be

00:25:09.820 bad for business.

00:25:11.920 At least it's transparent.

00:25:13.620 I mean,

00:25:13.880 it's not like the

00:25:14.680 commercial is hidden.

00:25:16.180 It's actually featured.

00:25:17.500 So you don't have to wonder

00:25:18.800 what that might do

00:25:20.920 to coverage.

00:25:21.480 Have I ever told you

00:25:22.860 that follow the money

00:25:23.620 works every time?

00:25:26.560 Now,

00:25:27.400 in my opinion,

00:25:29.840 there are no hosts

00:25:31.260 or opinion people

00:25:32.760 who have been instructed

00:25:33.840 to change the story.

00:25:36.540 Right?

00:25:37.220 Can you imagine,

00:25:37.860 I don't think that

00:25:38.500 there was like a meeting.

00:25:39.460 That would be very unusual.

00:25:40.960 I don't think that

00:25:41.780 anybody said,

00:25:42.760 all right,

00:25:43.260 TikTok is our new sponsor,

00:25:45.040 so don't say bad things

00:25:46.420 about TikTok anymore.

00:25:47.480 I don't think that happened.

00:25:48.460 That doesn't strike me

00:25:50.600 as something that happens

00:25:51.420 in the real world.

00:25:52.600 But rather,

00:25:54.760 everybody knows that

00:25:56.020 if the money's coming

00:25:57.960 from a spigot,

00:25:59.240 you don't turn it off.

00:26:00.920 It's just natural.

00:26:03.900 It's just natural.

00:26:06.140 All right.

00:26:08.480 So I lost.

00:26:10.440 I lost on the TikTok thing.

00:26:12.820 It's over.

00:26:14.000 TikTok's staying.

00:26:14.860 And we are now

00:26:16.480 being essentially managed,

00:26:19.520 at least the youth

00:26:20.720 are being managed by China.

00:26:24.800 I'm seeing something

00:26:26.100 in the comments

00:26:27.440 that I'm pretty sure

00:26:28.320 is not true.

00:26:30.700 All right.

00:26:32.580 All right.

00:26:35.060 Here's a couple things

00:26:37.360 that I've tried to teach you.

00:26:41.240 And one of them

00:26:42.380 is actually in my

00:26:43.420 brand new book,

00:26:44.200 Best Seller,

00:26:45.420 Best Thing You've Ever Seen,

00:26:46.460 Reframe Your Brain,

00:26:47.540 out now,

00:26:48.580 in softcover,

00:26:49.860 audiobook,

00:26:51.100 narrated by somebody else,

00:26:53.780 and Kindle.

00:26:56.680 So let me give you

00:26:57.700 an example of one

00:26:58.960 of the reframes

00:26:59.720 from the book,

00:27:00.340 and then I'm going to

00:27:00.860 show it to you

00:27:01.360 in action.

00:27:02.340 All right.

00:27:02.840 So I don't get to

00:27:03.840 do this too much.

00:27:05.220 But here you get to see

00:27:06.000 one in the wild,

00:27:07.300 the way it was

00:27:08.020 correctly used.

00:27:09.840 All right.

00:27:10.020 The reframe was this.

00:27:11.020 The person with

00:27:13.640 the best idea

00:27:14.400 is in charge.

00:27:16.560 You know how

00:27:17.440 normally you think

00:27:19.140 that your boss

00:27:19.800 is in charge

00:27:20.440 or your president

00:27:22.440 or your leaders,

00:27:23.740 right?

00:27:24.860 You think they're

00:27:25.880 the ones in charge.

00:27:27.120 But if you had

00:27:29.000 the best idea,

00:27:30.120 it was kind of obvious,

00:27:31.440 your idea would get

00:27:32.640 implemented

00:27:33.140 no matter who

00:27:34.040 was in charge.

00:27:34.660 So you should stop

00:27:36.380 seeing yourself

00:27:37.580 as not in charge.

00:27:39.960 You're always in charge.

00:27:41.780 All right.

00:27:42.040 I've lived my whole

00:27:42.840 life this way.

00:27:44.020 When I walk into

00:27:44.980 any situation,

00:27:46.680 no matter what

00:27:47.420 my role is,

00:27:48.520 you know,

00:27:48.720 just visiting,

00:27:50.020 customer,

00:27:51.500 you know,

00:27:51.720 just observing,

00:27:52.820 critic,

00:27:53.820 anything,

00:27:54.540 no matter what

00:27:55.240 my role is,

00:27:55.980 I say I'm in charge.

00:27:57.600 And what I mean

00:27:58.320 by in charge is

00:27:59.100 I don't mean

00:27:59.520 I must be the boss

00:28:00.660 and get the credit.

00:28:02.400 I mean that

00:28:03.140 I can influence

00:28:04.320 the outcome

00:28:04.960 but

00:28:06.300 only if I have

00:28:07.980 the best idea.

00:28:09.240 Would I want

00:28:10.060 to influence

00:28:10.600 the outcome

00:28:11.040 if I didn't?

00:28:12.720 No.

00:28:13.520 No.

00:28:13.860 If I didn't think

00:28:14.540 I had a good idea

00:28:15.260 then,

00:28:16.040 or at least,

00:28:16.600 you know,

00:28:16.780 the potential

00:28:17.260 for a good idea,

00:28:18.340 I would stay out of it.

00:28:20.240 So I live my life

00:28:21.500 thinking that

00:28:22.100 every environment

00:28:23.260 I walk into,

00:28:24.440 I'm effectively

00:28:25.200 in charge

00:28:25.980 in two different ways.

00:28:28.160 One is you make

00:28:29.380 people feel

00:28:30.920 the way they feel

00:28:31.840 because of the way

00:28:32.600 you present yourself.

00:28:34.460 Right?

00:28:34.820 If you come into a room

00:28:36.060 all happy with high energy,

00:28:37.340 you can raise

00:28:37.820 people's energy.

00:28:38.940 If you come in

00:28:39.600 all complaining,

00:28:40.380 you can bring them down.

00:28:41.520 Right?

00:28:41.720 You can cause people

00:28:42.680 to be what you want

00:28:43.600 and you can be in charge

00:28:45.700 by having the best idea.

00:28:47.380 So those are two reframes

00:28:48.900 that I carry with me

00:28:50.040 all the time.

00:28:51.220 So when I walk

00:28:52.040 into an environment,

00:28:53.280 I walk in confident

00:28:54.440 because I can make

00:28:56.020 the people do

00:28:56.700 anything I want

00:28:57.520 by extension

00:28:59.100 of my own behavior

00:29:00.080 and I can get

00:29:02.040 anything done

00:29:02.620 that I want

00:29:03.200 if it's a good idea.

00:29:05.180 If it's not a good idea,

00:29:06.280 it doesn't get done.

00:29:07.240 Now the opposite

00:29:08.120 would be the TikTok situation.

00:29:10.440 That's so clearly

00:29:11.160 a good idea

00:29:11.840 but money

00:29:13.100 has apparently

00:29:15.020 ruined that opportunity.

00:29:17.180 So here's

00:29:18.080 the real world

00:29:19.340 example of that.

00:29:20.380 Yesterday,

00:29:21.780 I tweeted

00:29:23.220 or axed

00:29:24.900 in frustration

00:29:26.020 that

00:29:27.500 I've endorsed

00:29:28.960 Vivek Ramaswamy

00:29:30.160 but every time

00:29:31.580 I tweet about him,

00:29:32.840 the comments

00:29:33.460 are full of people

00:29:34.280 who have a variety

00:29:35.920 of rumors

00:29:37.080 or accusations

00:29:37.940 which to my ears

00:29:39.820 sound all completely 1.00

00:29:41.120 like bullshit. 1.00

00:29:42.600 But I don't know 0.99

00:29:43.400 exactly what the

00:29:44.140 backstory is.

00:29:45.180 I don't know

00:29:45.500 what he said about it.

00:29:47.180 I don't know

00:29:48.080 the details.

00:29:49.320 And so I always

00:29:49.900 felt exposed

00:29:50.880 supporting somebody

00:29:52.940 who I couldn't

00:29:53.860 really respond to

00:29:54.880 a number of vague rumors.

00:29:57.400 And so I somewhat

00:29:58.380 exasperatingly suggested

00:30:00.020 on Twitter

00:30:00.780 and also I think

00:30:01.780 on livestream

00:30:02.200 that Vivek

00:30:04.580 and Trump

00:30:05.060 has the same problem too.

00:30:06.560 Vivek should create

00:30:07.460 a page,

00:30:08.840 just a web page

00:30:09.740 in which the

00:30:10.540 half dozen rumors

00:30:11.740 are there

00:30:12.300 and then you've got

00:30:13.840 one link

00:30:14.600 that every time

00:30:16.000 somebody brings it up

00:30:17.100 I'll just say

00:30:18.260 well,

00:30:19.060 why don't you look

00:30:19.740 at his explanation

00:30:20.840 see if you still

00:30:21.720 feel the same.

00:30:23.420 Now,

00:30:23.740 is that a good idea?

00:30:26.020 You tell me.

00:30:27.580 Is that a good idea?

00:30:28.920 That there's just

00:30:29.700 one link

00:30:30.280 in one place

00:30:31.060 that every criticism

00:30:32.680 about him,

00:30:33.520 the ones that aren't real,

00:30:35.180 they're just in one place.

00:30:37.600 So,

00:30:38.320 I say that on Twitter

00:30:39.560 about an hour

00:30:41.620 after I say it

00:30:42.560 I get contacted

00:30:43.500 by Vivek's

00:30:45.640 campaign team

00:30:48.240 and they say

00:30:49.880 oh,

00:30:50.120 we heard

00:30:50.460 your idea.

00:30:51.580 we'll have that up

00:30:53.260 on Monday.

00:30:57.380 See what I mean?

00:30:59.360 Now,

00:30:59.960 that idea

00:31:00.800 is just

00:31:01.840 unambiguously

00:31:02.700 a good idea.

00:31:04.620 So,

00:31:05.140 am I

00:31:05.540 in charge

00:31:06.540 of the

00:31:06.980 Ramaswami

00:31:07.640 campaign?

00:31:08.540 No,

00:31:08.880 of course not.

00:31:09.880 The people

00:31:10.400 who are in charge

00:31:10.940 of it

00:31:11.160 are in charge.

00:31:11.640 Well,

00:31:11.820 he's in charge

00:31:12.300 of it.

00:31:13.120 But,

00:31:13.540 did I have

00:31:14.740 the ability

00:31:15.240 to change

00:31:16.640 something

00:31:17.120 with no power?

00:31:19.520 I have no power,

00:31:20.660 right?

00:31:20.940 No organizational

00:31:21.880 power.

00:31:22.720 But the best idea

00:31:23.600 just wins.

00:31:25.420 And I think

00:31:26.080 you've seen

00:31:26.440 that a number

00:31:26.880 of times.

00:31:27.500 I mean,

00:31:27.700 it's not the first

00:31:28.260 time you've seen

00:31:28.960 something of this

00:31:30.380 nature.

00:31:31.320 But keep this

00:31:32.140 in mind.

00:31:32.900 If you've got

00:31:33.460 a good idea,

00:31:34.260 you are in charge.

00:31:36.580 You just have

00:31:37.320 to communicate it,

00:31:38.320 make sure that

00:31:38.800 the right people

00:31:39.280 hear it,

00:31:39.860 and make sure

00:31:40.600 that there's not

00:31:41.300 a money interest

00:31:42.060 in the other direction.

00:31:43.020 That's the other

00:31:43.420 problem.

00:31:44.980 All right.

00:31:45.260 I would also

00:31:46.920 like to give you

00:31:48.260 this little

00:31:49.780 reframe tip.

00:31:52.340 If you're trying

00:31:53.060 to figure out

00:31:53.640 what kind of

00:31:54.160 a product

00:31:54.700 is going to

00:31:55.500 be successful,

00:31:56.740 let's say you're

00:31:57.460 trying to do

00:31:58.340 a startup,

00:31:58.940 or maybe even

00:31:59.680 looking to invest,

00:32:01.620 this is one

00:32:02.460 of the most

00:32:02.840 reliable indicators

00:32:04.400 of a product

00:32:06.000 that's going to

00:32:06.460 be big in the

00:32:07.260 future.

00:32:08.640 If people

00:32:09.340 take the product

00:32:10.100 the way it is,

00:32:10.900 and it's kind

00:32:11.280 of crappy,

00:32:12.400 it's not really

00:32:13.000 good yet,

00:32:13.880 but they like it

00:32:14.920 in its bad

00:32:15.560 form.

00:32:16.240 That's a really

00:32:16.700 good symbol.

00:32:19.520 But that's not

00:32:20.340 the one I'm

00:32:20.620 talking about.

00:32:21.160 There's a second

00:32:21.680 one.

00:32:22.180 The second one

00:32:22.820 is if people

00:32:23.580 take your product

00:32:24.300 and extend it.

00:32:26.300 In other words,

00:32:27.040 they start with

00:32:27.600 your product

00:32:28.020 and they add

00:32:28.740 something to it.

00:32:30.280 And I noticed

00:32:31.020 that there are

00:32:31.820 now four fake

00:32:33.080 books of my

00:32:34.360 book online.

00:32:36.540 Two of them

00:32:37.340 are from,

00:32:37.880 I think,

00:32:38.120 the old publisher.

00:32:39.680 So if the thing

00:32:40.920 you think you

00:32:41.520 order doesn't

00:32:42.120 look like this,

00:32:43.240 you did not

00:32:43.880 order my book,

00:32:44.920 but Amazon

00:32:45.760 did take your

00:32:46.600 money.

00:32:47.860 They did take

00:32:48.600 your money,

00:32:49.400 but no book

00:32:50.260 will be coming

00:32:50.800 to you unless

00:32:51.480 it looked like

00:32:52.000 this.

00:32:52.540 It's the only

00:32:53.120 real one.

00:32:53.960 So there's a

00:32:54.580 purple one

00:32:55.240 that's not

00:32:55.820 real.

00:32:56.760 There's one

00:32:57.360 that's just

00:32:57.740 text and no

00:32:58.680 picture.

00:32:59.260 That's not

00:32:59.720 real.

00:33:00.680 But a lot

00:33:01.040 of people

00:33:01.320 have bought

00:33:01.660 it.

00:33:02.480 I don't know

00:33:02.920 where the

00:33:03.140 money went.

00:33:03.820 They can get

00:33:04.320 it back by

00:33:04.900 cancelling

00:33:05.300 because there's

00:33:05.780 no shipping

00:33:06.640 taking place.

00:33:08.140 But this is

00:33:09.700 not to my

00:33:10.140 point.

00:33:10.560 Those two

00:33:11.220 were just

00:33:11.640 bad links.

00:33:12.880 But within

00:33:14.840 hours of the

00:33:15.920 softcover being

00:33:17.240 published,

00:33:18.500 there are

00:33:18.800 already two

00:33:19.520 rip-off books

00:33:20.500 called workbooks.

00:33:23.320 So they just

00:33:24.100 take my book,

00:33:25.640 the content

00:33:26.200 from my book,

00:33:27.500 they cut out

00:33:28.280 with some of

00:33:28.660 the backstories

00:33:30.000 and stuff,

00:33:30.560 which are

00:33:30.820 essential to

00:33:32.220 it being a

00:33:32.760 good book.

00:33:33.220 and they

00:33:35.420 try to make

00:33:36.700 their own

00:33:37.100 book instantly

00:33:37.920 that they

00:33:38.960 call a

00:33:39.340 workbook,

00:33:40.680 but I

00:33:41.280 already reported

00:33:42.300 them for

00:33:42.720 copyright

00:33:43.440 violation,

00:33:45.040 but apparently

00:33:45.560 I can't do

00:33:46.220 that unless I

00:33:46.900 find the

00:33:47.380 same text,

00:33:48.700 which of

00:33:49.140 course it

00:33:49.440 has because

00:33:49.880 it's a

00:33:50.160 book of

00:33:50.400 reframes.

00:33:51.380 I mean,

00:33:51.740 just consider

00:33:54.080 the fact that

00:33:55.880 in the back

00:33:56.400 of my own

00:33:56.960 book is my

00:33:59.000 own workbook

00:34:00.080 kind of

00:34:00.560 summary.

00:34:00.860 I mean,

00:34:01.380 I have all

00:34:01.840 the reframes

00:34:02.400 in summary

00:34:02.920 form,

00:34:03.920 and a

00:34:04.340 reframe by

00:34:05.040 its nature

00:34:05.540 is a

00:34:05.880 summary.

00:34:06.900 What exactly

00:34:07.620 is the

00:34:08.040 summary of

00:34:08.580 my summary?

00:34:10.060 Right?

00:34:10.940 The whole

00:34:11.520 thing that

00:34:12.400 makes this

00:34:12.780 a useful

00:34:14.120 book is

00:34:15.360 that each

00:34:15.760 of the

00:34:16.000 reframes

00:34:16.500 is very

00:34:17.040 tightly

00:34:18.140 explained.

00:34:19.800 If they

00:34:20.480 summarized it

00:34:21.200 more than

00:34:21.600 that,

00:34:22.040 it's useless

00:34:22.600 because it

00:34:23.780 is a

00:34:24.100 summary,

00:34:24.680 and if

00:34:25.580 they didn't

00:34:26.000 summarize it

00:34:26.540 more than

00:34:26.860 that,

00:34:27.140 it's just

00:34:27.460 a copyright

00:34:27.980 violation.

00:34:29.440 But

00:34:29.700 somebody's

00:34:30.160 tried to

00:34:30.540 turn it

00:34:30.880 into a

00:34:31.360 different

00:34:31.680 form.

00:34:32.960 Now,

00:34:33.880 if what

00:34:35.680 you think

00:34:36.140 is happening

00:34:36.820 is I'm

00:34:38.660 complaining

00:34:39.140 about it,

00:34:39.640 it's a

00:34:39.900 little bit

00:34:40.160 of complaining.

00:34:42.000 It's a

00:34:42.640 little bit

00:34:42.980 of complaining.

00:34:43.800 But there's

00:34:44.280 a larger

00:34:44.680 point here.

00:34:45.660 When somebody

00:34:46.440 tries to

00:34:47.740 rip you

00:34:48.140 off immediately,

00:34:50.180 that is

00:34:51.000 such a

00:34:51.340 good sign

00:34:52.260 of what's

00:34:52.840 to come.

00:34:53.640 Because nobody

00:34:54.220 rips off

00:34:54.720 something that

00:34:55.300 nobody wants.

00:34:57.140 So on

00:34:57.800 day one,

00:34:58.380 somebody said,

00:34:58.880 oh, shoot,

00:34:59.460 this is going

00:34:59.960 to be big.

00:35:00.540 And they

00:35:00.780 ripped it

00:35:01.100 off as

00:35:01.740 soon as

00:35:02.040 possible.

00:35:03.000 I don't

00:35:03.500 know how

00:35:03.740 much of

00:35:04.000 my money

00:35:04.320 they're

00:35:04.520 getting.

00:35:05.500 Some.

00:35:06.660 Apparently,

00:35:07.160 I have to

00:35:07.520 buy one in

00:35:08.800 order to get

00:35:09.320 them taken

00:35:09.740 off, because

00:35:10.240 I have to

00:35:10.560 get their

00:35:10.880 text and

00:35:12.060 give the

00:35:12.520 exact.

00:35:14.180 And then

00:35:14.580 how am I

00:35:14.980 going to do

00:35:15.260 that?

00:35:15.520 Retype it?

00:35:16.120 I think I'd

00:35:16.540 have to

00:35:16.780 retype a

00:35:17.620 chapter,

00:35:18.960 because I

00:35:19.500 can't cut and

00:35:20.660 paste from

00:35:21.100 Kindle, can I?

00:35:22.620 I don't know.

00:35:23.680 So I've got

00:35:24.600 this whole

00:35:24.940 problem I have

00:35:25.660 to solve that's

00:35:26.420 none of your

00:35:27.620 concern.

00:35:29.360 But always

00:35:30.020 look for

00:35:30.360 somebody taking

00:35:31.380 your product and

00:35:32.480 trying to steal

00:35:33.160 it right away.

00:35:34.220 That's going to

00:35:34.900 be a hit.

00:35:36.300 It's pretty

00:35:37.280 guaranteed.

00:35:38.260 All right.

00:35:38.500 Wall Street

00:35:40.700 Journal is

00:35:41.220 starting to

00:35:41.700 wonder if

00:35:42.440 the accident

00:35:44.880 on the

00:35:45.600 Wagner-Pogosian's

00:35:47.600 plane, they're

00:35:48.760 starting to think

00:35:49.480 there might be

00:35:50.100 something not

00:35:51.940 quite right about

00:35:52.700 this.

00:35:54.400 They're suspecting

00:35:55.300 it might be

00:35:55.800 some kind of

00:35:57.460 bad action by

00:35:59.460 Putin or

00:36:00.380 somebody.

00:36:01.900 I don't know.

00:36:02.980 What do you

00:36:03.580 think?

00:36:04.020 Is that

00:36:04.360 possible?

00:36:06.020 Well, I'm

00:36:06.420 glad they're

00:36:07.560 catching up to

00:36:08.060 the obvious.

00:36:09.300 We don't

00:36:09.760 care.

00:36:10.560 Do you care

00:36:11.100 if it was

00:36:11.580 blown up 0.89

00:36:12.140 with a bomb

00:36:12.740 or it was 0.57

00:36:13.720 shot out of

00:36:14.180 the air?

00:36:15.040 How in the

00:36:15.480 world does

00:36:15.860 that make a

00:36:16.280 difference?

00:36:18.720 I mean,

00:36:19.180 really?

00:36:20.100 Is that

00:36:20.480 different?

00:36:21.160 I don't

00:36:21.460 think so.

00:36:24.280 Fox News

00:36:24.980 had an

00:36:25.340 exclusive with

00:36:26.320 that prosecutor

00:36:27.800 that Joe

00:36:28.340 Biden had

00:36:28.860 fired from

00:36:29.540 Ukraine.

00:36:30.260 His name

00:36:30.560 is Shokin.

00:36:32.940 Now,

00:36:34.040 here's my

00:36:35.720 take on

00:36:36.280 that Shokin 0.86

00:36:36.960 guy.

00:36:38.060 So the

00:36:39.440 two versions

00:36:40.500 of reality

00:36:41.160 on the

00:36:41.740 left and

00:36:42.100 the right

00:36:42.440 are as

00:36:42.860 follows.

00:36:44.180 On the

00:36:44.800 right,

00:36:46.060 Joe Biden

00:36:46.800 fired the

00:36:47.760 prosecutor

00:36:48.260 because he

00:36:48.920 was going

00:36:49.360 after Burisma

00:36:50.140 hard and

00:36:51.860 Hunter was

00:36:52.360 on the

00:36:52.620 board,

00:36:53.620 so Hunter

00:36:54.180 got his

00:36:54.740 father to

00:36:55.900 take the

00:36:56.480 heat off

00:36:56.920 of the

00:36:57.160 company that

00:36:57.660 he was on

00:36:58.000 the board

00:36:58.280 of.

00:36:59.040 So that's

00:36:59.620 the rights

00:37:00.020 version.

00:37:00.980 So that would

00:37:01.420 be consistent

00:37:02.100 with what

00:37:02.680 Shokin says,

00:37:04.060 which is,

00:37:04.580 oh yeah,

00:37:04.860 he was a

00:37:05.220 good guy,

00:37:05.680 he was totally

00:37:06.180 investigating

00:37:06.800 them,

00:37:07.620 and then

00:37:08.060 he was

00:37:08.440 removed

00:37:08.840 because he

00:37:09.580 was investigating

00:37:10.280 them,

00:37:10.940 not because

00:37:11.600 he wasn't.

00:37:12.840 Now,

00:37:13.220 on the

00:37:13.760 left,

00:37:14.400 I'll give

00:37:14.900 you the

00:37:15.240 Jessica

00:37:15.760 Tarlov

00:37:16.460 take on

00:37:17.580 it,

00:37:18.780 removing him

00:37:19.960 had to be

00:37:20.460 legitimate

00:37:20.920 because there

00:37:22.180 were so many

00:37:22.780 other international

00:37:23.960 organizations who

00:37:25.780 wanted him

00:37:26.480 gone.

00:37:27.580 There were a

00:37:28.340 number of

00:37:28.680 them internationally,

00:37:29.620 so that would

00:37:30.560 prove it's not

00:37:31.520 about just

00:37:32.140 Burisma,

00:37:33.200 it's not about

00:37:33.780 Hunter,

00:37:34.080 that proves

00:37:35.280 that other

00:37:36.220 nations and

00:37:37.060 entities,

00:37:37.800 international

00:37:38.200 entities,

00:37:39.040 were all on

00:37:39.500 the same

00:37:39.760 side.

00:37:41.860 May I teach

00:37:42.880 you a new

00:37:43.640 way to spot 1.00

00:37:44.540 bullshit? 0.98

00:37:47.480 In 2023, 1.00

00:37:49.840 when Democrats

00:37:51.540 tell you

00:37:52.120 everybody's on

00:37:52.940 one side,

00:37:53.980 or 97% are

00:37:55.500 on one side,

00:37:56.720 97% of the

00:37:58.420 experts,

00:37:58.860 or everybody

00:38:00.780 we asked about

00:38:01.660 it in the

00:38:02.380 geopolitical

00:38:03.460 field,

00:38:04.080 that's

00:38:05.180 always a

00:38:05.700 lie.

00:38:07.220 Do you

00:38:07.460 know why?

00:38:09.980 They would

00:38:10.580 just tell you

00:38:11.060 the reasons

00:38:11.700 if they had

00:38:13.180 reasons.

00:38:14.600 They wouldn't

00:38:15.300 tell you that

00:38:15.840 other people

00:38:16.340 say there's

00:38:16.880 reasons,

00:38:17.300 they'd just

00:38:17.620 tell you the

00:38:18.040 reasons.

00:38:19.900 It would

00:38:20.300 have nothing

00:38:20.740 to do with

00:38:21.280 other people's

00:38:21.920 opinion if it

00:38:22.880 were real.

00:38:24.660 Do you need

00:38:25.440 other people's

00:38:26.080 opinion about

00:38:26.660 gravity?

00:38:29.040 We're trying

00:38:29.680 to convince you

00:38:30.220 that gravity

00:38:30.920 exists,

00:38:31.620 but the

00:38:34.340 reason you

00:38:34.740 should believe

00:38:35.120 it is 97%

00:38:36.220 of experts

00:38:36.680 say gravity

00:38:37.280 is real.

00:38:38.780 You don't

00:38:39.560 need experts

00:38:40.280 for something

00:38:41.040 that can be

00:38:41.660 demonstrated with

00:38:42.580 argument or

00:38:43.460 data.

00:38:44.640 Now granted,

00:38:45.400 you might not

00:38:45.860 be able to

00:38:46.220 look at a

00:38:46.640 scientific study

00:38:47.540 and know how

00:38:48.920 true it is,

00:38:49.840 but wouldn't

00:38:50.740 you understand

00:38:51.320 the basic

00:38:51.820 idea?

00:38:52.200 If the

00:38:54.320 climate change

00:38:54.920 people come to

00:38:55.500 you and say,

00:38:56.220 we measured the

00:38:57.040 temperature of

00:38:57.640 Earth,

00:38:57.900 and you're

00:38:59.000 not a

00:38:59.360 scientist,

00:39:00.580 wouldn't you

00:39:00.960 have a

00:39:01.200 question?

00:39:02.120 Like just a

00:39:02.620 natural,

00:39:03.240 ordinary person

00:39:04.240 question?

00:39:04.900 How do you

00:39:05.280 measure the

00:39:07.020 temperature of

00:39:07.540 the Earth?

00:39:09.020 And they'd

00:39:09.320 say, well,

00:39:09.680 we have these

00:39:10.280 thermometers in

00:39:12.480 the ocean at

00:39:13.220 various places,

00:39:14.220 and I would

00:39:15.000 say, you have

00:39:15.700 thermometers?

00:39:16.820 Like the same 0.58

00:39:17.540 kind of

00:39:17.880 thermometers

00:39:18.400 everywhere?

00:39:19.540 Like the

00:39:20.140 whole Earth?

00:39:21.400 And they'd

00:39:21.680 say, no,

00:39:22.000 no, no,

00:39:22.220 we don't need

00:39:22.700 the whole Earth.

00:39:24.260 We put them

00:39:25.280 in places we

00:39:25.960 can get to

00:39:26.560 easily,

00:39:26.980 and we

00:39:27.980 try to

00:39:28.300 cover as

00:39:28.680 much as

00:39:29.000 we can,

00:39:29.260 but not

00:39:29.520 like the

00:39:30.100 whole Earth

00:39:30.520 or anything,

00:39:31.400 but a good

00:39:32.280 scientific

00:39:33.580 average.

00:39:35.080 And I

00:39:35.420 say, so

00:39:36.720 it wouldn't

00:39:37.260 be true

00:39:37.820 that the

00:39:39.960 heat sometimes

00:39:41.140 moves through

00:39:42.080 different areas

00:39:42.760 of the Earth

00:39:43.240 but stays the

00:39:44.000 same?

00:39:44.860 In other

00:39:45.180 words, you

00:39:45.700 couldn't have

00:39:46.120 extended years

00:39:47.060 where there's

00:39:48.260 a portion of

00:39:48.840 the Earth

00:39:49.100 that gets

00:39:49.360 warmer while

00:39:50.400 another portion

00:39:51.060 is getting

00:39:51.420 cooler, and

00:39:52.540 then if you

00:39:52.840 just wait,

00:39:54.240 it evens out

00:39:55.040 over time.

00:39:55.640 Is that

00:39:56.120 possible?

00:39:56.540 Well, so

00:39:57.740 if you were

00:39:59.060 just a person

00:40:00.020 who is not

00:40:00.660 an expert,

00:40:01.960 wouldn't you

00:40:02.200 have a lot

00:40:02.560 of questions

00:40:03.020 about it?

00:40:04.560 And then

00:40:04.900 you'd say,

00:40:05.420 what about

00:40:05.700 those climate

00:40:07.020 change models?

00:40:08.480 Are the models

00:40:09.160 science, or are

00:40:10.240 they something

00:40:10.760 adjacent to

00:40:12.040 science?

00:40:13.540 They're adjacent

00:40:14.360 to science.

00:40:15.140 They're something

00:40:15.520 scientists do.

00:40:16.840 They're not

00:40:17.240 science, and

00:40:18.480 if anybody

00:40:18.840 tells you that

00:40:19.440 they're science,

00:40:20.440 they're lying.

00:40:22.180 They might be

00:40:22.940 useful, and

00:40:24.280 they're done

00:40:24.580 by scientists,

00:40:25.960 but what

00:40:27.020 assumptions

00:40:27.420 they put

00:40:27.860 into them,

00:40:28.420 and which

00:40:28.760 ones survived

00:40:29.400 by luck

00:40:29.960 after they

00:40:30.840 throw the 0.65

00:40:31.200 ones that

00:40:31.680 had bad

00:40:32.360 luck and

00:40:32.760 didn't match

00:40:33.320 today's

00:40:34.480 temperature.

00:40:36.280 The whole

00:40:36.860 thing looks

00:40:37.360 sketchy as

00:40:37.940 hell, but

00:40:39.080 that's not to

00:40:39.920 say there

00:40:40.240 isn't a

00:40:40.540 problem.

00:40:41.780 That I

00:40:42.200 don't know.

00:40:43.500 I mean, I'm

00:40:43.860 not smart

00:40:44.620 enough to

00:40:45.060 know, but

00:40:45.740 I'm pretty

00:40:46.000 sure nobody

00:40:46.440 else knows

00:40:46.920 either.

00:40:48.420 That's my

00:40:49.020 take.

00:40:49.620 I don't

00:40:50.140 know.

00:40:50.380 I don't

00:40:51.280 know how

00:40:51.540 much danger

00:40:52.020 there is,

00:40:52.600 but I'm

00:40:52.840 pretty sure

00:40:53.240 nobody else

00:40:53.740 knows.

00:40:54.500 That part

00:40:54.920 I'm sure

00:40:55.200 about.

00:40:57.460 So whenever

00:40:58.140 you see all

00:40:59.140 the experts

00:40:59.580 on one side,

00:41:00.340 that's almost

00:41:00.900 a guarantee

00:41:01.420 of fakeness.

00:41:05.300 Do you

00:41:05.800 remember I

00:41:06.120 told you

00:41:06.380 about the

00:41:06.820 alcohol being

00:41:07.580 good for

00:41:07.960 you in

00:41:08.300 small amounts?

00:41:10.180 What

00:41:10.440 percentage of

00:41:11.200 experts do

00:41:11.820 you think

00:41:12.160 agreed with

00:41:12.680 that until

00:41:13.700 they found

00:41:14.180 out it was 1.00

00:41:14.640 complete bullshit? 1.00

00:41:15.800 97% 1.00

00:41:16.660 probably.

00:41:18.060 Do you

00:41:18.260 remember the

00:41:18.840 food pyramid?

00:41:20.120 that was

00:41:20.580 complete 1.00

00:41:20.940 bullshit? 1.00

00:41:22.100 What 1.00

00:41:22.360 percentage of

00:41:23.140 dieticians and

00:41:24.140 experts believed

00:41:25.140 for years that

00:41:26.580 that was

00:41:27.000 about 100%?

00:41:29.920 Not 100, but

00:41:31.040 maybe 95%.

00:41:32.460 So do you

00:41:36.320 see the

00:41:36.680 pattern?

00:41:37.880 The 97% 0.94

00:41:39.080 argument exists

00:41:40.520 when it's 0.99

00:41:41.140 bullshit. 0.99

00:41:42.160 Usually. 1.00

00:41:43.280 As soon as

00:41:43.960 somebody says

00:41:44.560 most people

00:41:45.220 agree, your

00:41:46.360 reaction should

00:41:47.060 be, oh 0.99

00:41:47.400 shit, what 1.00

00:41:47.820 are they 1.00

00:41:48.000 hiding?

00:41:49.200 Because it

00:41:49.940 turns out

00:41:50.320 you can

00:41:50.680 get all

00:41:51.300 the experts

00:41:51.840 to agree

00:41:52.300 easily.

00:41:53.740 Do you

00:41:54.160 know who

00:41:54.420 the easiest

00:41:55.020 people to

00:41:55.620 fool are?

00:41:57.460 So I'm 0.98

00:41:58.160 speaking here

00:41:58.680 as a hypnotist.

00:42:00.420 The easiest

00:42:01.260 people to

00:42:01.820 fool are

00:42:03.120 academics and 0.99

00:42:04.080 scientists.

00:42:05.380 Do you know

00:42:05.760 why?

00:42:07.560 Because they

00:42:08.160 believe data.

00:42:10.720 So you

00:42:11.320 just tell them

00:42:11.860 there's some

00:42:12.160 data and

00:42:12.560 they'll be

00:42:12.780 like, oh

00:42:13.180 all right,

00:42:13.800 I love

00:42:14.520 my data.

00:42:14.980 You just

00:42:16.040 tell them

00:42:16.360 that 97%

00:42:17.320 of scientists

00:42:17.860 agree.

00:42:19.560 You want

00:42:19.900 to get the

00:42:20.460 other?

00:42:21.640 There's a new

00:42:22.280 scientist comes

00:42:22.980 on, you go,

00:42:23.500 all right, 97%

00:42:24.980 of scientists

00:42:25.420 agree.

00:42:26.820 So maybe you

00:42:27.600 should too if

00:42:28.160 you want to

00:42:28.420 get some

00:42:28.680 money.

00:42:30.920 All right.

00:42:33.900 And the

00:42:34.580 last thing I

00:42:35.140 want to say

00:42:35.440 about Shokin

00:42:36.040 is I guess

00:42:38.080 all of that

00:42:39.140 sort of

00:42:40.500 suggested to

00:42:41.240 you that Shokin 0.99

00:42:41.880 was telling the

00:42:42.500 truth.

00:42:43.000 That was an

00:42:43.400 accident on my

00:42:44.160 part.

00:42:44.420 What I was

00:42:45.340 trying to do

00:42:45.800 was show

00:42:46.080 both sides.

00:42:47.360 In my

00:42:47.660 opinion, Shokin

00:42:48.520 looks like the 0.99

00:42:49.080 biggest liar I've 1.00

00:42:49.900 ever seen in 1.00

00:42:50.320 my life.

00:42:51.440 And has

00:42:51.720 anybody mentioned

00:42:52.340 that he's

00:42:52.820 Ukrainian?

00:42:54.400 So he might

00:42:55.120 be the biggest 0.99

00:42:55.700 liar in the 1.00

00:42:56.660 country that's 1.00

00:42:57.260 famous for being

00:42:57.960 the biggest 0.99

00:42:58.380 lying country 1.00

00:42:59.180 and corrupt. 0.54

00:43:00.660 There's nothing

00:43:01.540 he said that

00:43:02.260 sounds credible

00:43:02.900 to me.

00:43:03.960 He just

00:43:04.380 looks like he's

00:43:05.220 lying.

00:43:06.860 On the other

00:43:07.600 hand, the

00:43:08.780 opposite argument

00:43:09.920 relies on the

00:43:11.980 everybody said,

00:43:13.120 which I believe

00:43:13.700 is also a

00:43:14.340 signal for

00:43:14.800 lying.

00:43:15.900 So in my

00:43:16.960 opinion, you've

00:43:17.680 got two sides

00:43:18.460 that are lying.

00:43:19.100 I think they're

00:43:19.560 both wrong.

00:43:21.120 I think whatever

00:43:21.740 the truth is,

00:43:22.400 is probably not

00:43:23.060 either of those

00:43:23.800 things.

00:43:24.880 I mean, it must

00:43:25.700 be true that he's 0.85

00:43:26.380 either corrupt or

00:43:27.120 not.

00:43:27.920 But there's

00:43:28.880 something wrong

00:43:29.400 with both

00:43:29.880 stories.

00:43:30.660 They both have

00:43:31.280 the lowest level

00:43:32.160 of credibility.

00:43:33.440 One's a

00:43:34.100 fired Ukrainian 1.00

00:43:35.500 guy.

00:43:37.240 Even if he

00:43:38.420 were America,

00:43:39.440 if you talk to

00:43:40.340 the guy who

00:43:40.780 got fired, and

00:43:42.080 he's talking

00:43:42.520 about his old

00:43:43.080 company,

00:43:43.500 company, come

00:43:44.580 on.

00:43:45.240 Who believes

00:43:45.860 the fired

00:43:46.360 guy?

00:43:47.340 Nobody should

00:43:47.940 believe the

00:43:48.320 fired guy, even

00:43:49.140 if they're right.

00:43:50.280 Their credibility

00:43:51.040 is the lowest it

00:43:51.960 could be.

00:43:53.120 So we have

00:43:53.940 nothing to believe

00:43:54.740 on that story,

00:43:55.600 really.

00:43:56.960 I have no idea

00:43:58.080 which it is.

00:43:58.740 I don't have any

00:43:59.320 idea.

00:43:59.900 But can you give

00:44:00.640 me a fact check?

00:44:02.140 Wasn't there a

00:44:04.220 Hunter or a

00:44:05.160 Hunter Associates

00:44:06.260 email that

00:44:08.020 suggested that

00:44:09.280 Burisma really did 1.00

00:44:10.720 want him gone?

00:44:11.460 Isn't it in

00:44:12.380 writing?

00:44:14.440 Give me a fact

00:44:15.180 check on that.

00:44:15.600 Am I imagining

00:44:16.200 that?

00:44:16.980 Because I might

00:44:17.420 be imagining

00:44:17.920 it.

00:44:20.500 Does anybody

00:44:21.020 remember?

00:44:21.380 I swear to God,

00:44:22.400 I'm seeing some

00:44:23.640 yeses trickling in.

00:44:25.200 But I was sure

00:44:26.320 there was a story

00:44:27.200 where it's

00:44:28.360 documented that

00:44:29.860 Hunter and

00:44:31.140 Burisma wanted 1.00

00:44:32.300 Shokin gone.

00:44:34.160 I thought that

00:44:34.840 was documented.

00:44:35.580 And that would

00:44:37.800 have been the

00:44:38.220 response to

00:44:39.000 Jessica Tarlov,

00:44:40.320 but I didn't

00:44:40.620 see anybody

00:44:41.040 give that

00:44:41.400 response.

00:44:43.080 It was sort

00:44:43.480 of a Jesse

00:44:44.020 Waters thing.

00:44:44.680 He needs to

00:44:45.120 get on that.

00:44:46.580 All right.

00:44:50.580 Do you know

00:44:51.240 what RICO is?

00:44:53.340 So RICO is the

00:44:54.500 law that they

00:44:55.420 used to go

00:44:55.920 after the

00:44:56.540 mafia.

00:44:57.620 And I guess

00:44:58.140 the idea was

00:44:58.980 if they're

00:45:00.320 organized and

00:45:02.060 they're organized

00:45:02.640 for a common

00:45:04.260 criminal purpose

00:45:05.560 that would be

00:45:07.080 something you

00:45:07.660 could use the

00:45:08.240 RICO laws which 0.71

00:45:09.260 give you, I

00:45:09.860 guess, a little

00:45:10.240 more of a

00:45:11.880 hammer to go

00:45:12.720 after people.

00:45:14.680 So the

00:45:16.900 general, you

00:45:18.340 know, situation

00:45:20.420 for saying

00:45:21.440 something's a

00:45:22.180 RICO situation

00:45:22.920 is if it's

00:45:23.980 organized and

00:45:24.820 criminal.

00:45:26.720 So I sent

00:45:27.460 this tweet

00:45:27.880 yesterday, see

00:45:29.080 what you say.

00:45:29.600 I said, I'm

00:45:30.000 no lawyer, but

00:45:31.380 the entire

00:45:31.760 Democratic

00:45:32.260 leadership looks 0.99

00:45:33.100 like a criminal

00:45:33.840 conspiracy to

00:45:35.000 me.

00:45:35.580 From the

00:45:36.300 Russia collusion

00:45:37.180 hoax to the

00:45:38.060 laptop hoax to

00:45:39.280 the January 6

00:45:40.080 insurrection hoax to

00:45:41.960 the fine folks

00:45:43.100 hoax to the

00:45:44.020 Ukraine and

00:45:45.700 Hunter to the

00:45:47.300 Department of

00:45:48.240 Justice and their 1.00

00:45:48.940 four bullshit 1.00

00:45:49.540 indictments to 1.00

00:45:50.860 the media

00:45:51.500 puppets.

00:45:53.480 Now, isn't the

00:45:55.140 only thing that

00:45:56.060 would make that

00:45:56.880 not RICO is if

00:45:58.440 they hadn't

00:45:58.860 coordinated, right?

00:46:00.420 If none of

00:46:01.260 them had

00:46:01.560 coordinated and

00:46:03.200 they just sort

00:46:03.660 of independently

00:46:04.300 decided what

00:46:05.080 they're doing,

00:46:05.980 well, that's

00:46:06.360 not RICO.

00:46:07.660 That's just

00:46:08.100 people who see

00:46:09.340 something to be

00:46:10.300 in their interest

00:46:10.840 and acted in a

00:46:11.920 coordinated way.

00:46:13.020 I would say

00:46:13.560 Republicans are

00:46:14.360 like that.

00:46:15.860 Republicans act

00:46:17.240 similarly.

00:46:18.840 You know, after

00:46:19.220 a new issue

00:46:20.180 comes up, they

00:46:20.800 end up acting

00:46:21.960 similarly.

00:46:23.200 But I never

00:46:24.720 see coordination.

00:46:26.640 Have you?

00:46:27.320 I mean, it

00:46:30.000 seems like

00:46:30.380 Republicans read

00:46:31.240 the news, and

00:46:32.140 they're influenced

00:46:32.660 by the news like

00:46:33.480 everybody is, and

00:46:35.160 then they make

00:46:35.620 their opinions, but

00:46:37.040 it seems like it's

00:46:37.960 just that.

00:46:39.040 It's just I

00:46:39.580 watched the news,

00:46:40.380 I formed an

00:46:40.880 opinion.

00:46:41.480 If I didn't

00:46:42.200 watch enough

00:46:42.780 news, maybe my

00:46:43.720 opinion's not

00:46:44.280 good.

00:46:44.800 But that's the

00:46:45.440 whole story.

00:46:46.780 There's news, and

00:46:48.720 then people, and

00:46:49.680 social media, and

00:46:50.700 then people make

00:46:51.300 opinions.

00:46:53.620 Correct me if I'm

00:46:54.600 wrong, but the

00:46:55.940 Russia collusion

00:46:56.660 hoax was a

00:46:57.420 multi-entity

00:46:59.780 coordinated

00:47:00.860 op.

00:47:02.700 The laptop

00:47:03.320 hoax was a

00:47:04.220 multi-entity

00:47:05.540 coordinated

00:47:07.100 op.

00:47:08.900 The J6 0.92

00:47:09.900 insurrection 0.99

00:47:11.680 bullshit was a 0.99

00:47:13.340 multi-entity 1.00

00:47:14.380 coordinated

00:47:15.820 op.

00:47:17.320 You had the

00:47:18.040 politicians, you

00:47:19.080 had the media

00:47:19.760 that I'm sure

00:47:20.480 they talked to.

00:47:21.620 Do you think

00:47:22.120 that nobody

00:47:22.540 talked to the

00:47:23.160 media and said

00:47:23.760 here's the

00:47:24.220 message we

00:47:24.580 were going to

00:47:24.900 be putting

00:47:25.240 out?

00:47:26.000 Maybe they

00:47:26.440 didn't need

00:47:26.800 to, because

00:47:27.500 it was so

00:47:27.840 obvious what

00:47:29.260 the right

00:47:29.560 message was.

00:47:30.940 But what

00:47:31.180 about, here's

00:47:32.160 the thing that

00:47:32.740 finally tripped

00:47:34.500 me.

00:47:36.680 There are

00:47:37.380 four prosecutors

00:47:38.740 and four

00:47:40.360 indictments

00:47:40.880 against Trump.

00:47:42.580 Can you

00:47:43.060 confirm, because

00:47:43.980 I saw some

00:47:44.480 disagreement on

00:47:45.200 that, are

00:47:45.780 all four

00:47:46.280 Democrats the

00:47:47.500 prosecutors?

00:47:48.520 Or is there

00:47:49.220 some question

00:47:49.780 about that?

00:47:51.140 I did a

00:47:51.580 fact check on

00:47:52.160 that.

00:47:53.520 I'm seeing

00:47:53.920 some yeses,

00:47:54.700 but that's

00:47:56.780 my operating

00:47:57.320 assumption

00:47:57.740 right now.

00:47:58.740 Here's the

00:47:59.160 big question.

00:48:01.140 We did

00:48:01.820 hear that at

00:48:02.580 least one of

00:48:03.160 the indictments

00:48:04.840 was a result

00:48:07.160 of somebody

00:48:08.440 in the

00:48:08.860 Democratic

00:48:09.340 Party,

00:48:11.000 possibly

00:48:11.560 rumored to

00:48:12.620 have contacted

00:48:13.640 the prosecutor

00:48:14.460 to say this

00:48:15.660 is the timing

00:48:16.320 to do it.

00:48:16.980 If you do

00:48:17.360 it now, it's

00:48:18.000 the best

00:48:18.440 timing for

00:48:19.060 our cause.

00:48:21.040 Now, what

00:48:25.240 about the

00:48:25.620 other three?

00:48:27.160 Here's what

00:48:27.860 it would

00:48:28.060 take to

00:48:28.600 prove

00:48:28.900 RICO, in

00:48:29.600 my opinion.

00:48:30.440 If you

00:48:30.940 could find

00:48:31.400 that anybody

00:48:32.040 in the

00:48:32.380 Democrat

00:48:32.720 Party had

00:48:33.480 contacted

00:48:34.040 any of

00:48:34.740 these

00:48:34.980 prosecutors,

00:48:36.740 any of

00:48:37.180 them, that

00:48:38.840 would be a

00:48:39.620 coordinated

00:48:40.180 criminal

00:48:41.300 activity.

00:48:42.880 It was

00:48:43.240 criminal

00:48:43.660 because the

00:48:45.100 charges are

00:48:45.740 obviously 1.00

00:48:46.140 bullshit. 0.99

00:48:46.580 The reason 1.00

00:48:47.680 anybody thinks

00:48:48.500 the charges

00:48:48.980 are true is

00:48:50.280 because the

00:48:50.780 media is part

00:48:51.720 of the

00:48:51.940 coordinated

00:48:52.500 up.

00:48:53.660 The media

00:48:54.240 told people

00:48:54.840 that he

00:48:55.220 said, find

00:48:55.820 some votes

00:48:56.400 in his

00:48:56.740 best gangster

00:48:57.420 way.

00:48:58.380 The truth,

00:48:59.040 of course, is

00:48:59.720 that if you

00:49:00.060 saw the whole

00:49:00.500 context, he's

00:49:01.900 saying he

00:49:02.300 thinks the

00:49:02.720 election was

00:49:03.400 not legitimate

00:49:04.640 and a

00:49:06.120 closer look

00:49:06.780 would prove

00:49:07.260 him to be

00:49:07.700 right.

00:49:08.600 That's all

00:49:08.980 that happened.

00:49:10.020 January 6th,

00:49:11.220 why does

00:49:11.580 anybody think

00:49:12.300 that was an

00:49:12.780 insurrection?

00:49:14.240 Because the

00:49:14.620 media told him.

00:49:15.720 Do you

00:49:15.980 think the

00:49:16.280 media,

00:49:16.580 operated

00:49:17.080 independently

00:49:17.760 to call

00:49:18.360 it an

00:49:18.620 insurrection?

00:49:19.460 Or do

00:49:19.920 you think

00:49:20.220 that they

00:49:20.660 talked to

00:49:21.120 anybody in

00:49:21.580 the Democrat

00:49:22.040 party who

00:49:23.000 said, you

00:49:23.340 know, we're

00:49:23.760 going to go

00:49:24.080 with this

00:49:24.400 being an

00:49:24.780 insurrection,

00:49:25.800 this will be

00:49:26.260 good for us?

00:49:27.360 Of course they

00:49:27.980 talked about

00:49:28.480 it.

00:49:29.540 So what

00:49:30.820 standard do

00:49:31.540 you need to

00:49:31.920 meet?

00:49:32.240 Is it because

00:49:32.720 there's no

00:49:33.180 money being

00:49:33.680 made?

00:49:35.680 Well, it's

00:49:36.420 all money.

00:49:37.720 It's all

00:49:38.200 money.

00:49:39.080 You got, you

00:49:39.780 know, the

00:49:40.240 Democrats may

00:49:41.360 be supported

00:49:41.880 by the

00:49:42.380 military-industrial

00:49:43.340 complex.

00:49:44.040 That's all

00:49:44.460 money.

00:49:45.660 There might be

00:49:46.500 people who

00:49:46.980 think that

00:49:47.400 they will

00:49:47.660 lose their

00:49:48.160 jobs if

00:49:49.580 they don't,

00:49:50.280 you know, make

00:49:50.900 sure there's a

00:49:51.540 Democrat leadership.

00:49:53.080 That's money.

00:49:53.960 That's jobs.

00:49:56.420 The

00:49:56.760 Hunter and

00:49:58.800 his dad and

00:50:00.860 his partners,

00:50:01.780 they were making

00:50:02.540 money from

00:50:03.800 Ukraine.

00:50:05.060 There are

00:50:05.780 rumors that

00:50:06.440 other major

00:50:07.040 politicians who

00:50:07.960 shall not be

00:50:08.560 named may be

00:50:09.700 involved in

00:50:10.260 exactly the same

00:50:11.140 kind of dirty

00:50:11.720 business, which

00:50:12.720 might be legal.

00:50:13.460 I don't know

00:50:14.120 if it's legal

00:50:14.760 or illegal, but

00:50:16.100 they might be

00:50:16.680 involved in

00:50:17.280 similar sketchy

00:50:18.300 things that the

00:50:18.940 public wouldn't

00:50:19.540 like if they

00:50:20.080 heard about it.

00:50:22.620 What part of

00:50:23.620 this is not a

00:50:25.560 criminal enterprise

00:50:26.520 that's coordinated?

00:50:28.540 To me, it looks

00:50:29.480 like a coordinated

00:50:30.540 criminal enterprise

00:50:31.700 trying to jail the

00:50:33.340 opposition, Trump,

00:50:35.340 so that they can

00:50:36.160 have better jobs

00:50:37.280 and careers and

00:50:38.800 continue making

00:50:39.580 money, you know,

00:50:40.480 in their

00:50:40.920 fair or

00:50:41.860 violating ways.

00:50:43.480 So you got

00:50:44.120 your money, you

00:50:45.380 got your massive

00:50:46.140 coordination, which

00:50:47.280 I think could be

00:50:47.880 demonstrated pretty

00:50:48.680 easily.

00:50:49.740 I mean, if you

00:50:50.080 check, if there

00:50:51.400 was, if you had a,

00:50:53.180 let's say, legal

00:50:54.800 authority to check

00:50:57.560 all the phone

00:50:58.220 records of the

00:50:58.860 prosecutors, you

00:51:00.160 don't think you'd

00:51:00.760 find that they were

00:51:01.440 talking to Democrat

00:51:02.480 leaderships?

00:51:03.660 Do you think that

00:51:04.440 any of these

00:51:04.880 prosecutors are

00:51:05.860 lined up for a

00:51:06.640 promotion when

00:51:07.260 they're done?

00:51:08.260 Do you think any

00:51:08.880 of them already have

00:51:09.760 promises of a

00:51:10.720 better job or

00:51:11.960 already have

00:51:12.440 promises of

00:51:13.120 funding for

00:51:13.760 anything they

00:51:14.420 run for?

00:51:15.640 Do you think

00:51:16.060 there was any

00:51:16.560 quid pro quo at

00:51:18.440 all?

00:51:19.340 It's just a

00:51:19.880 coincidence that

00:51:20.720 four prosecutors

00:51:22.080 who might be

00:51:23.300 looking to

00:51:23.900 improve their

00:51:24.700 situation all

00:51:26.240 have these 1.00

00:51:26.700 bullshit charges 0.99

00:51:27.420 at the same 1.00

00:51:27.960 time.

00:51:29.420 Now, you

00:51:30.400 might say to

00:51:30.880 yourself, oh,

00:51:31.560 this guy is

00:51:32.080 just politics.

00:51:33.540 It's just

00:51:33.960 politics.

00:51:34.480 The Republicans,

00:51:35.380 they're no

00:51:35.880 different.

00:51:36.820 Really?

00:51:38.000 What was the

00:51:38.920 last full

00:51:40.260 multi-department

00:51:42.000 op, brainwashing

00:51:44.020 op, that the

00:51:45.040 Republicans did?

00:51:46.700 I don't think

00:51:47.240 they do.

00:51:48.120 I mean, I would

00:51:48.560 have noticed,

00:51:49.320 wouldn't I?

00:51:49.820 I mean, I'm

00:51:50.180 pretty deeply

00:51:50.880 embedded.

00:51:51.820 I think I would

00:51:52.340 have noticed.

00:51:54.160 And certainly, if I

00:51:55.380 saw it happening, I

00:51:56.640 wouldn't be happy

00:51:57.400 about it.

00:51:58.280 Like, if you think

00:51:59.060 I would be in favor

00:52:01.080 of a brainwashing

00:52:02.240 op because it came

00:52:03.560 from one side

00:52:04.380 versus the other,

00:52:05.140 you'd be very,

00:52:05.800 very wrong.

00:52:07.520 Brainwashing

00:52:08.000 op, no

00:52:09.380 bueno.

00:52:10.340 Wouldn't support

00:52:11.340 it coming from

00:52:12.220 anybody for

00:52:12.900 anything.

00:52:14.420 Well, school is

00:52:15.640 a brainwashing

00:52:16.200 op if you do

00:52:16.800 it right.

00:52:17.820 That would be

00:52:18.240 different.

00:52:20.060 Yeah, you'd

00:52:20.780 have to go back

00:52:21.380 to the Iraq

00:52:22.220 war to find

00:52:23.840 Republicans.

00:52:25.280 But I think the

00:52:25.960 Republicans actually

00:52:26.780 were somewhat

00:52:27.800 fooled as well

00:52:28.920 by the bad

00:52:30.540 intel.

00:52:31.420 Yeah.

00:52:31.940 I'll give you

00:52:32.900 the Iraq war.

00:52:34.240 I'll give you

00:52:34.700 that.

00:52:35.520 But that was

00:52:35.900 a long time

00:52:36.340 ago.

00:52:37.400 That was a

00:52:37.780 long time

00:52:38.160 ago.

00:52:40.620 So, I think

00:52:41.660 there is a

00:52:42.980 RICO case to

00:52:43.800 be made for

00:52:45.420 at least the

00:52:45.940 leadership of

00:52:46.720 the Democrat

00:52:47.280 Party and

00:52:48.440 the media and

00:52:49.940 the prosecutors

00:52:50.640 and George

00:52:51.500 Soros and

00:52:52.860 the Soros

00:52:53.700 money.

00:52:54.880 You don't

00:52:55.240 think that's

00:52:55.660 all connected?

00:52:57.600 If you see

00:52:58.540 like, you

00:52:59.860 know, Soros

00:53:00.420 Jr.

00:53:00.900 meeting with

00:53:01.460 the very

00:53:02.000 Democrats who

00:53:03.580 benefit from

00:53:04.260 all this, and

00:53:05.500 he's funding the

00:53:06.380 prosecutors, in

00:53:07.740 some cases, I

00:53:08.440 suppose, so

00:53:09.380 he's supporting

00:53:09.880 the prosecutors

00:53:10.700 and having

00:53:11.880 meetings with

00:53:12.520 them that we

00:53:12.980 can see because

00:53:13.560 they're public,

00:53:15.480 what would it

00:53:16.900 take to make

00:53:17.520 that RICO?

00:53:19.180 Can I hear from

00:53:20.740 the lawyers?

00:53:21.620 I know there

00:53:22.140 are always some

00:53:22.540 lawyers here.

00:53:23.560 Now, I don't

00:53:24.100 think there's any

00:53:24.700 realistic chance

00:53:25.860 that something

00:53:26.260 will happen, but

00:53:27.300 isn't this

00:53:28.280 meeting all of

00:53:29.020 the requirements of

00:53:29.820 a RICO 0.76

00:53:30.200 prosecution?

00:53:32.840 Anybody who

00:53:33.520 is an actual

00:53:34.000 lawyer, if

00:53:35.140 you'd like to

00:53:35.600 identify yourself?

00:53:37.040 I saw only one

00:53:38.180 or two people who

00:53:39.200 were lawyers

00:53:39.620 agreeing with me

00:53:40.340 earlier.

00:53:42.200 Come on, you

00:53:43.560 can give me an

00:53:44.680 opinion.

00:53:48.440 Yeah, it is

00:53:49.200 true, the first

00:53:49.840 Iraq war was

00:53:50.900 nearly unanimous.

00:53:54.960 not unanimous,

00:53:58.820 no, I guess, but

00:53:59.720 I think, I think

00:54:01.700 even Al Gore voted

00:54:05.180 in favor of the

00:54:05.880 first Iraq war.

00:54:09.620 All right, well,

00:54:10.760 you're kind of

00:54:11.240 quiet on this, so

00:54:13.000 I guess I would be

00:54:13.800 two pie in the sky

00:54:14.640 hoping for it.

00:54:15.600 All right, in

00:54:15.900 other news,

00:54:16.720 OnlyFans reportedly

00:54:18.800 has 238 million

00:54:20.820 paying users.

00:54:21.740 So, follow the

00:54:27.560 money, will the

00:54:29.460 reproduction rate

00:54:30.500 go up or down?

00:54:35.040 OnlyFans, I hate

00:54:36.420 to say it, but

00:54:37.520 OnlyFans is what

00:54:38.940 men are using as

00:54:40.140 a substitute for

00:54:42.080 human women, or 0.96

00:54:44.080 women in person.

00:54:46.920 238 million users

00:54:48.300 and they've made

00:54:49.040 $1 billion in

00:54:50.240 revenue.

00:54:51.740 Follow the

00:54:53.180 money.

00:54:53.620 There's no way

00:54:54.200 that reproduction

00:54:55.440 is going to be

00:54:56.420 the winning

00:54:56.920 economic model.

00:54:58.420 This is the

00:54:59.120 winning economic

00:54:59.920 model.

00:55:00.960 Every one of

00:55:01.580 those women who 1.00

00:55:02.280 made, like, a

00:55:03.100 good living just

00:55:04.560 said to them,

00:55:05.200 I don't need a

00:55:05.680 husband.

00:55:06.660 Why do I need a

00:55:07.520 husband?

00:55:08.800 If he doesn't

00:55:09.500 make as much

00:55:09.980 money as I do,

00:55:10.700 I'm just basically

00:55:11.960 paying a guy.

00:55:13.120 I can get a guy

00:55:14.040 anytime I want.

00:55:15.180 Why would I pay

00:55:15.720 one?

00:55:17.340 So, I'll bet a

00:55:18.080 lot of them are

00:55:18.540 single, obviously.

00:55:20.200 All right, CNN

00:55:22.460 is setting us

00:55:23.380 up for the

00:55:23.840 next wave of 0.97

00:55:24.640 major fuckery, or 0.99

00:55:26.340 at least it looks 0.99

00:55:27.060 that way.

00:55:27.880 Here's what they

00:55:28.460 say.

00:55:29.080 U.S.

00:55:29.560 intelligence

00:55:29.920 agencies, the

00:55:30.960 people they

00:55:31.440 collude with, in

00:55:32.380 a RICO sense, 0.62

00:55:33.640 allegedly, the

00:55:35.980 U.S.

00:55:36.240 intelligence

00:55:36.640 agencies believe,

00:55:37.880 do they really,

00:55:38.980 that the Russian

00:55:39.660 Federation Security

00:55:40.720 Services is

00:55:42.160 attempting to

00:55:42.700 influence public

00:55:43.460 policy and public

00:55:44.240 opinion in the

00:55:44.860 West by directing

00:55:46.260 Russian civilians

00:55:47.440 to build

00:55:48.700 relationships with

00:55:49.760 influential U.S.

00:55:51.180 and Western

00:55:51.880 individuals.

00:55:55.260 And then

00:55:56.160 disseminate the

00:55:56.960 narratives.

00:55:58.220 So, they're

00:55:58.720 sending out

00:55:59.340 Russians to

00:56:01.140 befriend

00:56:01.840 influential

00:56:02.740 people.

00:56:05.060 Influential

00:56:05.700 people.

00:56:07.220 Influential.

00:56:08.880 Well, it would

00:56:09.340 be like an 0.65

00:56:09.880 influential person.

00:56:12.020 So, it doesn't

00:56:12.720 sound like they're

00:56:13.260 talking about

00:56:13.900 politicians.

00:56:14.680 it sounds like

00:56:16.360 they're talking

00:56:16.720 about me.

00:56:20.480 Doesn't it?

00:56:21.800 Doesn't that

00:56:22.420 sound like me?

00:56:24.760 Now, let me ask

00:56:25.720 you this.

00:56:27.140 Have I ever had a

00:56:28.100 conversation, a

00:56:29.000 friendly conversation

00:56:29.880 with a Russian?

00:56:32.940 I don't know.

00:56:34.640 Maybe.

00:56:36.220 Maybe.

00:56:38.300 Is anybody that I

00:56:39.680 regularly talk to

00:56:41.140 about politics,

00:56:42.760 you know, privately?

00:56:43.480 Are any of them

00:56:44.740 Russian and I

00:56:45.400 don't know it?

00:56:47.200 Maybe.

00:56:48.640 Maybe.

00:56:50.560 Possibly.

00:56:52.280 Do you see the

00:56:54.100 danger here?

00:56:55.360 Do you see the

00:56:56.100 foreshadowing?

00:56:56.920 I think Mike

00:56:57.540 Cernovich pointed

00:56:58.260 it out.

00:56:59.440 They're creating a

00:57:00.520 way, if you buy

00:57:01.940 into the narrative,

00:57:03.780 they're creating a

00:57:04.740 McCarthy situation

00:57:05.920 where people like

00:57:07.480 me can be removed

00:57:08.580 from the public

00:57:09.320 conversation if I

00:57:11.120 ever talk to a

00:57:11.960 Russian citizen.

00:57:13.480 They're going to

00:57:14.480 say, oh, you

00:57:15.700 talked to a

00:57:16.220 Russian citizen, so

00:57:17.760 now we can check

00:57:18.560 all of your

00:57:19.000 communications.

00:57:21.120 Right?

00:57:22.060 If I ever had a

00:57:23.140 conversation with a

00:57:24.100 Russian citizen, even

00:57:25.040 if I didn't know it,

00:57:26.320 maybe I just DM'd him

00:57:27.440 or something.

00:57:28.740 Do you think that

00:57:29.600 they could then say,

00:57:30.520 well, this person is

00:57:32.840 talking to a Russian

00:57:33.900 agent, maybe.

00:57:35.360 We don't know, but,

00:57:36.700 you know, Russian

00:57:37.340 citizen, Russian agent,

00:57:38.820 maybe same thing.

00:57:39.680 So now I've got a

00:57:41.440 suspicion about this

00:57:43.400 person that's being

00:57:44.240 influenced.

00:57:44.840 Well, we better find

00:57:45.600 out if they're like a 0.88

00:57:46.500 totally owned Russian 0.81

00:57:48.300 puppet or not, huh?

00:57:49.560 We better check all

00:57:50.560 their communications.

00:57:51.840 Whoops, we didn't

00:57:52.980 find any Russian spy

00:57:54.300 stuff, but my God,

00:57:55.420 look at this other 0.99

00:57:56.020 shit. 1.00

00:57:57.080 We better put him in 1.00

00:57:57.960 jail right away.

00:57:59.640 You see what's

00:58:00.500 happening, right?

00:58:01.340 I don't think this

00:58:02.440 could be more obvious.

00:58:03.520 It's a setup to take

00:58:07.140 people off the board.

00:58:10.280 Wait for the first

00:58:11.580 one.

00:58:13.080 How long will it

00:58:14.020 take before somebody

00:58:15.660 you know is accused

00:58:17.820 of talking to a

00:58:18.960 Russian and then all 0.98

00:58:21.280 of their communication

00:58:22.120 was up for exposure

00:58:25.420 and then they got him

00:58:27.560 for something else?

00:58:28.880 It's like, oh,

00:58:30.060 nothing about the

00:58:30.960 Russian thing, but

00:58:31.760 look at all this bad

00:58:33.000 stuff here.

00:58:34.140 Yeah.

00:58:35.220 This is the scariest

00:58:36.500 thing you'll ever see.

00:58:39.980 Now, is it possible

00:58:41.640 that it's just a story

00:58:43.040 and they're just

00:58:43.520 telling us?

00:58:44.540 Yeah, it's possible,

00:58:46.760 but it's kind of

00:58:47.820 convenient, isn't it,

00:58:49.460 that it looks like

00:58:50.240 exactly right on the

00:58:51.320 nose for what you

00:58:52.320 would do if you were

00:58:54.000 trying to set up a 0.98

00:58:55.080 situation for fuckery. 1.00

00:58:57.280 To me, this looks like 0.99

00:58:58.500 fuckery glaring. 1.00

00:59:00.780 I mean, it couldn't be 0.99

00:59:01.460 glaring any harder.

00:59:03.000 All right.

00:59:07.680 Or as Cerno calls it,

00:59:09.640 the new J6 trap.

00:59:12.080 Right?

00:59:12.700 So, watch out for,

00:59:14.680 you know, not just

00:59:15.340 this, but watch out

00:59:16.660 for new traps.

00:59:18.800 So, the idea would be

00:59:20.220 if you can get a bunch

00:59:21.320 of Republicans to even

00:59:23.720 support verbally any

00:59:26.060 conservatives who do

00:59:27.620 bad things because they

00:59:28.820 get all worked up

00:59:29.520 because of the news

00:59:30.320 and because of Trump

00:59:31.260 being jailed, perhaps,

00:59:32.960 that it's just going to

00:59:34.300 be another January 6th

00:59:35.420 thing where they can

00:59:36.100 prove that all of the,

00:59:37.900 all Republicans are 0.99

00:59:39.100 white supremacists 1.00

00:59:40.040 because they're trying 0.99

00:59:41.440 to get this white 0.95

00:59:42.200 supremacist out of jail, 0.98

00:59:43.400 if that's what happens.

00:59:44.800 And they will just

00:59:45.820 turn it into a thing

00:59:47.280 that they can jail

00:59:48.680 anybody who's on

00:59:49.600 the other side.

00:59:50.460 But, is Russia selling

00:59:57.240 uranium to the USA?

00:59:59.020 I don't know.

01:00:00.120 I haven't heard anybody

01:00:00.880 complain about a shortage

01:00:01.920 of uranium. 1.00

01:00:04.240 The dumbest story, 1.00

01:00:05.500 let me say this again. 1.00

01:00:07.220 Remember the story

01:00:07.960 about, there was a

01:00:10.640 Canadian uranium company

01:00:12.560 in the US, I think,

01:00:13.940 that sold their company

01:00:14.900 to a Russian entity?

01:00:16.880 And then everybody said,

01:00:17.900 no, if we need this,

01:00:20.160 if we need this

01:00:20.920 valuable resource,

01:00:22.240 we can't have the

01:00:23.740 Russians own it. 1.00

01:00:25.580 And then I laughed

01:00:26.660 at them and said,

01:00:27.860 it's in the United

01:00:29.400 States.

01:00:30.900 The mine is in the

01:00:31.860 United States.

01:00:33.920 If we need it,

01:00:35.840 we just take it.

01:00:39.340 Who's not understanding

01:00:40.580 how anything works?

01:00:43.480 What's the difference

01:00:44.420 what the corporate

01:00:46.040 entity says on the

01:00:47.120 piece of paper?

01:00:47.900 If it's a national

01:00:49.220 emergency, and we need

01:00:51.180 the uranium, because

01:00:52.820 let's say Americans are

01:00:53.820 dying because they

01:00:54.600 don't have enough for

01:00:55.180 medical use, we just

01:00:56.780 say, all right, well,

01:00:57.840 we're going to take all

01:00:58.560 your uranium.

01:01:00.800 What do you think?

01:01:01.540 We're just going to let

01:01:02.440 them ship it up and

01:01:03.720 ship it off to other

01:01:04.660 countries while we have

01:01:05.540 a national emergency?

01:01:07.660 That's not going to

01:01:08.420 happen.

01:01:09.000 Not in any world could

01:01:10.400 that happen.

01:01:12.800 Yeah, we would just

01:01:13.660 take it.

01:01:15.640 That's another one of

01:01:16.540 those situations where

01:01:17.460 you don't know who

01:01:18.140 has the power.

01:01:19.500 Russia has no power 1.00

01:01:20.680 over the uranium that

01:01:21.840 they own in the

01:01:23.160 United States.

01:01:24.780 You do.

01:01:26.040 You own that uranium,

01:01:27.400 and if you want to

01:01:27.920 take it from the

01:01:28.480 Russians, tell your 1.00

01:01:30.700 congresspeople, and if

01:01:32.160 enough people do, we

01:01:33.020 just take it.

01:01:35.660 All right.

01:01:39.000 Here's the scariest

01:01:40.160 thing you'll hear in

01:01:42.220 the news.

01:01:42.640 Biden, when he was

01:01:44.240 asked about the Trump

01:01:46.780 mugshot, he gave this

01:01:48.960 smile that is chilling

01:01:50.480 and said, hey, he's a

01:01:51.980 handsome guy.

01:01:54.100 Kind of laughed about

01:01:55.100 it.

01:01:56.020 He was the president of

01:01:57.020 the United States, and

01:01:58.860 he literally laughed that

01:02:01.100 his people are jailing the

01:02:02.360 opposition right in front

01:02:04.200 of you.

01:02:04.620 He just laughed at it.

01:02:05.580 At the same time, now, I'm

01:02:09.520 not going to blame Biden

01:02:10.480 specifically for this

01:02:11.600 because we know he

01:02:12.580 doesn't run his social

01:02:13.520 media, right?

01:02:14.680 Nobody thinks that Biden

01:02:16.400 is tweeting.

01:02:17.640 We know that other

01:02:18.340 people do it.

01:02:19.200 But this is proof that

01:02:21.060 Biden doesn't have

01:02:22.740 command of his

01:02:23.580 faculties.

01:02:25.120 Tell me you don't

01:02:26.200 think that Biden would

01:02:27.180 have fired his social

01:02:28.340 media person if he had

01:02:30.460 his faculties, right?

01:02:31.960 So here's what his

01:02:32.740 social media person sent

01:02:34.120 at the same time as

01:02:35.740 the mugshot.

01:02:36.940 So it's the timing

01:02:37.720 that's the important

01:02:38.580 part.

01:02:39.840 Apropos of nothing,

01:02:41.140 meaning the mugshot,

01:02:42.680 but they're cleverly

01:02:43.580 referring to it.

01:02:44.860 Apropos of nothing, I

01:02:46.420 think today is a great

01:02:47.300 day to give to my

01:02:48.260 campaign.

01:02:49.120 So it's a Joe Biden

01:02:50.180 alleged tweet.

01:02:52.100 And a big part of the

01:02:53.360 graphic on there is the

01:02:54.820 handwritten, let's

01:02:56.080 finish the job.

01:02:58.740 So making a direct

01:03:00.400 reference to Trump

01:03:01.940 being arrested,

01:03:04.120 in their own

01:03:06.200 handwriting, one of

01:03:07.300 their handwriting, it

01:03:08.560 says, let's finish the

01:03:09.660 job.

01:03:10.800 And they make sure that

01:03:11.740 you know that it's

01:03:12.500 associated with the

01:03:13.560 arresting of Trump

01:03:14.340 because they say

01:03:15.440 apropos of nothing.

01:03:16.700 That's your signal that

01:03:17.920 they're really talking

01:03:18.580 about it.

01:03:20.340 Just imagine those two

01:03:22.180 things on a tweet.

01:03:24.600 That apropos of

01:03:25.660 nothing, a great day to

01:03:27.360 give to my campaign.

01:03:28.840 In other words, he's

01:03:29.520 fundraising over

01:03:31.000 jailing his opposition.

01:03:32.200 He's fundraising over

01:03:34.820 jailing his opposition.

01:03:37.260 And he says, let's

01:03:39.220 finish the job, which in

01:03:40.500 my opinion is a call to

01:03:41.800 violence.

01:03:43.300 To me, it's a call to

01:03:44.340 violence.

01:03:45.160 Both sides.

01:03:46.780 Let's finish the job,

01:03:47.940 says we're going to rub

01:03:49.400 you out.

01:03:51.360 And with basically

01:03:53.020 everything we have.

01:03:54.740 And anybody who hears it

01:03:56.060 is going to say, you're

01:03:56.840 going to rub me out, I'm

01:03:57.780 going to rub you out.

01:03:58.500 So to me, it looks like

01:03:59.740 a call to violence, a

01:04:01.660 dropping of norms of

01:04:03.380 American, you know,

01:04:04.920 presidential treatment.

01:04:06.700 And in my opinion, a

01:04:08.860 younger Joe Biden would

01:04:10.400 have immediately fired

01:04:11.800 the person who sent the

01:04:12.960 tweet and apologized to

01:04:15.000 the country.

01:04:16.300 Because without the

01:04:17.780 tweet, he still gets

01:04:19.960 Trump, you know, where

01:04:21.980 he wants him, right?

01:04:23.540 So he could still be

01:04:24.820 privately happy that

01:04:26.100 things are going the way

01:04:26.980 they're going.

01:04:27.920 But I don't think a

01:04:29.580 Joe Biden with his

01:04:30.860 faculties would have

01:04:32.540 allowed this tweet to

01:04:33.560 go out as a fundraiser

01:04:34.800 with such provocative

01:04:38.460 language.

01:04:39.220 Does anybody think that a

01:04:40.360 younger Joe Biden in

01:04:42.360 control of his faculties

01:04:43.720 would have allowed this

01:04:44.680 tweet or not fired the

01:04:46.520 person who sent it?

01:04:49.840 What do you think?

01:04:51.800 Because I, you know, I

01:04:53.260 don't think he was always 0.94

01:04:54.300 dumb. 0.98

01:04:56.980 But at the moment, he's 1.00

01:04:58.120 just, he's dysfunctional, 0.52

01:04:59.720 it appears.

01:05:00.920 Yeah, I think, I think

01:05:02.340 what we're seeing is a

01:05:03.400 complete lack of, you

01:05:05.320 know, Biden leadership.

01:05:06.500 This is just such a clear

01:05:07.600 example.

01:05:08.280 In my opinion, this is

01:05:09.280 crystal clear.

01:05:13.700 All right.

01:05:14.260 Well, maybe it's, maybe

01:05:16.060 it's just that the days

01:05:17.340 are different and something

01:05:19.140 this provocative is no

01:05:20.320 longer totally ruled out.

01:05:23.080 If you're joining late, I

01:05:24.320 don't know if you know that

01:05:25.140 the best book in the world

01:05:26.060 that's already changing

01:05:27.500 lives everywhere is, is

01:05:31.800 out.

01:05:33.360 So I've got a bunch of

01:05:34.440 podcasts lined up.

01:05:37.540 I'll tell you more about

01:05:38.400 those when they're out.

01:05:42.020 And some of them are going

01:05:43.060 to be real fun and real

01:05:44.000 good.

01:05:45.140 So wait for that.

01:05:47.320 All right.

01:05:49.760 It's not, well, it's number

01:05:50.800 one in this category.

01:05:52.280 Yeah.

01:05:52.980 Number one in this

01:05:53.840 category.

01:05:58.500 You're taking the high

01:05:59.580 road, Scott. 0.97

01:06:00.340 He's always been a bum. 0.94

01:06:01.520 No, he's always been a 0.97

01:06:02.240 bum, but he's never been 1.00

01:06:03.060 stupid. 1.00

01:06:05.120 Not, not stupid at that 1.00

01:06:06.640 level. 0.99

01:06:07.420 I mean, you know, maybe he

01:06:08.920 wasn't a top of his class,

01:06:11.000 but he was a capable,

01:06:12.600 capable politician.

01:06:14.300 He knew what was a bad

01:06:15.540 move and what was a good

01:06:16.520 move.

01:06:17.360 I mean, he knew that, but

01:06:18.740 he apparently has lost that

01:06:19.820 ability.

01:06:21.620 All right.

01:06:26.500 All right.

01:06:29.100 We have agreement.

01:06:32.840 Yeah.

01:06:33.400 Fukushima is releasing

01:06:34.640 radioactive stuff.

01:06:35.960 I don't know what to think

01:06:36.760 about that because I'm not

01:06:38.000 a scientist.

01:06:44.360 Rico prosecution.

01:06:45.700 Well, you know, I think

01:06:46.960 that maybe there needs to

01:06:48.400 be some kind of mutually

01:06:50.080 assured destruction.

01:06:51.620 You know, under normal

01:06:53.060 circumstances, I would

01:06:54.540 never, ever suggest a

01:06:56.260 Rico prosecution about a

01:06:58.160 political party.

01:07:00.100 Right?

01:07:01.240 I would never, because I

01:07:02.240 would be so disruptive.

01:07:04.400 Even if I thought maybe

01:07:05.680 there was something there, I

01:07:06.640 think I wouldn't recommend

01:07:08.140 it.

01:07:08.900 But in the situation where a

01:07:10.840 political person is being

01:07:12.340 potentially jailed, I say

01:07:14.840 under those conditions, the

01:07:16.180 person being jailed can say,

01:07:18.220 hey, it looks like a Rico 1.00

01:07:19.280 situation to me, and you

01:07:20.980 better hope I'm not

01:07:21.720 president, because that's

01:07:22.760 what it's going to be.

01:07:23.920 And you're all going to

01:07:25.240 jail.

01:07:26.140 I do think that most of the

01:07:27.640 Democrat leadership should be

01:07:29.760 in jail.

01:07:30.820 I mean that not as provocation,

01:07:33.820 not as hyperbole, but it's my

01:07:36.520 observation that it appears to

01:07:38.800 be a criminal enterprise at this

01:07:40.280 point.

01:07:40.920 I think it's just sort of

01:07:41.920 drifted into a criminal

01:07:42.920 enterprise.

01:07:43.340 Are Republicans any better?

01:07:47.200 I don't know.

01:07:48.200 I don't know.

01:07:48.780 They just don't seem organized

01:07:50.280 in a Rico sense.

01:07:52.440 I think they may have their own

01:07:54.440 bad apples, of course.

01:07:57.000 If tomorrow there's some

01:07:58.560 Republican who gets accused of

01:08:01.560 something terrible, don't say I

01:08:03.100 didn't tell you.

01:08:04.420 Don't say I said all the

01:08:05.700 Republicans are good people.

01:08:07.120 That's not a thing.

01:08:10.060 All right.

01:08:13.340 The worst argument I hear from

01:08:19.920 the Democrats about Trump's

01:08:23.680 indictments, this is a Jessica

01:08:25.460 Tarloff point, she says that

01:08:28.560 Trump was not indicted by his

01:08:31.480 political opponents, he was

01:08:33.580 indicted by ordinary Americans

01:08:35.240 who were in a grand jury.

01:08:37.700 Do you know what's wrong with

01:08:38.560 that?

01:08:40.440 Can somebody give me a fact

01:08:41.780 check?

01:08:42.060 Is it true or false, I believe

01:08:45.900 it's true, that the defense is

01:08:48.500 not offered.

01:08:49.140 Is that true?

01:08:51.680 A grand jury has no defense,

01:08:54.100 right?

01:08:56.000 All right.

01:08:56.480 Now, it's 2023, and you've seen

01:08:58.780 my hoax list.

01:09:00.720 The reason that there are so

01:09:01.880 many hoaxes, you know, from the

01:09:03.360 fine people hoax, to the drinking

01:09:04.820 bleach hoax, to the J6 insurrection

01:09:06.980 hoax, to the laptop hoax, the

01:09:09.620 reason that so many hoaxes can

01:09:11.180 exist, is because half of the

01:09:15.680 country only hears the

01:09:18.560 accusations.

01:09:19.920 They never hear the context.

01:09:22.740 They believe that Trump mocked a guy

01:09:25.820 with a disability.

01:09:27.740 They actually believe that's true.

01:09:30.140 Now, he made that motion, but he's

01:09:32.300 been using that same motion for other

01:09:34.000 people for years.

01:09:34.820 There's a compilation clip of him

01:09:37.020 doing the same thing for Ted Cruz.

01:09:39.480 Now, if you didn't know that,

01:09:42.360 suppose all the things that

01:09:44.360 Democrats think are true have been

01:09:46.580 presented to you without any

01:09:49.100 counterpoint.

01:09:49.740 If you never saw the other side, and

01:09:54.040 somebody just described Trump from a

01:09:56.260 Democrat perspective, how many of you

01:09:58.820 would say, oh my God, he's terrible,

01:10:02.440 all these must be true?

01:10:03.380 Of course you would, if you only hear

01:10:05.320 one side.

01:10:06.920 So, again, what is, what would be

01:10:11.000 another way to describe a grand jury

01:10:13.140 that had decided to indict somebody?

01:10:15.740 It's very much like, oh, 97% of

01:10:20.240 experts agree.

01:10:21.960 Huh?

01:10:22.900 Huh?

01:10:23.700 Yeah, it's just like that.

01:10:25.740 Every time you hear all the people

01:10:28.680 agreed that we're supposed to agree, 0.99

01:10:30.900 that is fuckery. 0.98

01:10:33.300 Right? 0.99

01:10:34.100 That is fuckery. 0.98

01:10:35.980 If Jessica Tarloff had said, this 0.98

01:10:39.060 would be an honest presentation.

01:10:41.560 Well, ordinary citizens are the ones

01:10:44.860 who decided, but to be fair, they only

01:10:48.700 heard one side of the argument, and

01:10:51.280 what we've seen so far suggests that

01:10:53.400 the argument's pretty sketchy.

01:10:56.700 That would be fair.

01:10:58.420 I would say that, oh yeah, okay, that's

01:10:59.860 both sides.

01:11:01.160 But what is the public here?

01:11:02.920 The public hears every single person

01:11:04.580 who heard the evidence thinks he's

01:11:06.560 guilty, so of course they have to have a

01:11:07.980 trial.

01:11:08.700 That's what they hear.

01:11:09.400 If you did a poll of the general

01:11:12.660 public, what percentage of the general

01:11:16.640 public know that a grand jury doesn't

01:11:20.400 hear both sides?

01:11:21.880 They only hear the prosecution.

01:11:23.340 How many know that?

01:11:24.780 2%?

01:11:26.240 Tops.

01:11:28.000 Oh well, maybe everybody who's been in

01:11:30.280 legal trouble knows it.

01:11:31.940 So it's probably higher than that.

01:11:33.340 Anybody who's ever been indicted knows it.

01:11:35.460 But the rest of us don't.

01:11:39.420 I mean, I think I found that out well

01:11:42.700 into adulthood.

01:11:44.480 It's not something I knew when I was 25,

01:11:47.060 but I know it now.

01:11:50.200 Yeah.

01:11:52.920 Yeah, and again, the RICO charges against

01:11:56.700 Trump are, in my opinion, strong evidence

01:12:00.200 that the Democrats are a RICO-organized

01:12:03.560 situation.

01:12:04.300 That pretty much is the last nail in the

01:12:09.120 coffin there.

01:12:09.900 I would say that's confirmation.

01:12:11.540 I don't have any doubts that the

01:12:13.340 Democrats are organized in a RICO

01:12:15.440 criminal fashion.

01:12:16.940 I think that's a given.

01:12:18.500 It's just so obvious.

01:12:20.320 But whether that's anything that anybody

01:12:22.520 would act upon, I think it's unlikely.

01:12:25.340 I think they'll just keep consolidating

01:12:27.060 power.

01:12:28.860 All right.

01:12:32.280 Hardcover should be pretty soon, yes.

01:12:34.300 I've just got to do one more quality check on

01:12:36.680 that, and then we can push the trigger on it.

01:12:39.020 I should get a hard copy myself today, I think.

01:12:44.480 And if I like it, you know, I want to make sure

01:12:46.700 everything, the production quality is good, and then

01:12:49.500 I'll just, we'll just give it the thumbs up.

01:12:52.680 All right.

01:12:53.300 Why do people wait for the hardcover?

01:12:57.080 Do people wait for the hardcover because you think some books are more

01:13:00.220 keep-on-the-shelf collectibles?

01:13:04.560 Or is it a better gift?

01:13:07.800 For travel.

01:13:08.640 You like a hard copy for travel?

01:13:11.480 Put it on the coffee table, so I can sign it.

01:13:14.500 Feels more valuable.

01:13:16.260 All right.

01:13:16.560 You know, I just, you know, the normal way that publishers work is they do the

01:13:21.740 hard copy first, and then maybe a year later or longer, they'll do the softcover.

01:13:28.220 I always thought I hated that.

01:13:30.660 Like, as a producer of books, I felt that was manipulative.

01:13:34.720 Because it seemed better to either make them all available at the same time, but not to

01:13:40.440 take advantage of somebody's, you know, interest in a book to upcharge them because it has

01:13:46.040 a better cover.

01:13:47.560 Like, that just felt manipulative to me.

01:13:49.680 Like, I'd never liked that.

01:13:51.280 So, as soon as there was an option that we didn't have to do that, we just sort of did

01:13:56.200 things in the order they were ready, and the softcover was ready first.

01:14:01.480 That made, that just made more sense to me.

01:14:03.380 That feels better to the customer.

01:14:05.480 But ideally, they would all be available at the same time.

01:14:07.960 All right.

01:14:08.220 Well, it could be that the book will take off when the hardcover, how many were waiting

01:14:12.920 for the hardcover?

01:14:15.260 Tell me if you were waiting for the hardcover.

01:14:22.300 Some, maybe 25%.

01:14:23.860 All right.

01:14:27.240 Good to know.

01:14:28.280 All right, ladies and gentlemen, I got some more work today.

01:14:31.700 Plenty of work.

01:14:33.380 Boy, have I been working hard lately.

01:14:35.300 I've been working crazy hard.

01:14:37.420 I hope it pays off for you as well as me.

01:14:43.760 That's all for now.

01:14:44.560 I'll talk to you tomorrow.

01:14:46.420 Thanks for joining YouTube.
