Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Highlight of Human Civilization.
00:00:07.700 You'll be happy to know that my emergency backup plan worked.
00:00:12.620 How does that work?
00:00:13.780 Well, as you know, every time I take out this little sheet that has the simultaneous sip written on it.
00:00:20.620 But do I know myself?
00:00:22.960 I do know myself.
00:00:23.920 And I know that one of these days, I'm going to mix up this sheet of paper that is important to have every day, and it's in my little drawer, with these other pieces of paper that I keep on my desk.
00:00:34.800 And then I throw away when I'm done.
00:00:36.680 And eventually, knowing myself, I will throw away the important piece of paper, and then when the morning comes, I'll open the drawer and be very sad.
00:00:44.960 So you know what I did about a year ago?
00:00:48.440 I made two copies, and I left them in the drawer.
00:00:51.900 Because I know, eventually, I'm going to throw away the most important copy in the world.
00:00:59.080 So I'm down to one.
00:01:01.400 I must have thrown it away yesterday.
00:01:03.760 But if you'd like to enjoy this situation more than all of that crap you just heard, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a dine, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel, a little bit of a kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:15.900 I like coffee, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:23.100 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:01:24.780 It happens now.
00:01:25.580 Go.
00:01:32.800 So good.
00:01:34.860 Yeah, that's a good idea.
00:01:36.080 Maybe I'll take a picture of it right now, because I'll probably throw this one away as soon as we're done.
00:01:42.120 Good idea.
00:01:47.240 You know what's the other thing I can do if I lose this piece of paper?
00:01:52.680 Do you know what my backup plan is?
00:01:56.760 Do you know what my backup plan is?
00:01:59.740 That's right.
00:02:00.820 It's right on the back.
00:02:01.760 That's my, I've got at least two backups going here at all times.
00:02:08.880 All right, let's talk about the news.
00:02:11.000 Today, I start with a tip for handling dumb trolls on social media.
00:02:18.260 Would anybody like another tip for handling dumb trolls on social media?
00:02:24.500 I find that this statement works in most situations where a troll engages you.
00:02:31.760 Have you noticed they like to ask a question?
00:02:35.660 And the question is like, so do you still beat your wife?
00:02:39.600 They're all questions where you can tell by the nature of the question that they're not real people who want to have a genuine conversation.
00:02:48.800 And often their question will be in the terms of what I call the absurd absolute.
00:02:55.960 The absurd absolute would be if you said, for example, there's one dog, a breed that statistically bites people more than another breed.
00:03:04.560 Some troll will come into your timeline and say, so all dogs are dangerous, huh?
00:03:11.800 And you're thinking, what do I do with that?
00:03:16.180 So here's what you do with it.
00:03:18.240 You respond, ask better questions.
00:03:21.680 Now, I gave you a ridiculous example, so it's obvious that's a bad question.
00:03:25.900 But you would be amazed how many questions I get per day that fall into the category of, you need to ask a better question.
00:03:35.680 I think you could ask a better question than that.
00:03:39.060 And it's amazingly disarming because when you force somebody to ask a better question,
00:03:45.000 it forces them to either be absurd twice, which is sort of embarrassing,
00:03:50.020 or to realize or admit that they're not a real person with a real question.
00:03:54.360 Try it. It works. I tried it again this morning.
00:03:58.680 All right, well, Rasmussen's asking some questions about what Americans think about the potential for war in the Middle East
00:04:04.480 and what they think about their commander-in-chief.
00:04:09.720 52% of people polled, these are likely voters,
00:04:15.320 52% that compared to most recent presidents, Biden is a weaker commander-in-chief.
00:04:21.180 Yeah, so they only half think he's a weaker commander-in-chief than recently.
00:04:28.900 But how many would you guess?
00:04:31.260 And let's see if you can get this within four basis points.
00:04:34.780 I'm going to give you a little, because I know you're good at guessing, but you might,
00:04:38.260 this one's a little bit harder.
00:04:40.140 So within four basis points,
00:04:42.900 what percentage of people do you think in this poll
00:04:45.480 said that Biden is a stronger commander-in-chief than most recent presidents?
00:04:51.480 Yeah, within four.
00:04:57.020 Within four?
00:05:00.680 Come on, I can't make this any easier.
00:05:02.640 Thank you.
00:05:03.540 It's 29, not 21.
00:05:05.040 If we're 21, I would have made a different hint.
00:05:10.540 But within four, that should have been the tip-off, that was 29, 29%.
00:05:15.040 Yes.
00:05:18.180 Well, 15% of the people said Biden's about the same as recent presidents as a military leader.
00:05:23.980 So 15% of people who answer polls can't tell if the president is alive or dead.
00:05:30.940 No, just kidding.
00:05:31.940 I think Kamala Harris confirmed in an interview that Joe Biden is very much alive.
00:05:38.600 I was trying to think to myself,
00:05:41.200 what is the last time a vice president answered a major TV interview
00:05:46.240 by stating unambiguously that the president is alive?
00:05:51.400 I feel like that's not necessary with most presidents.
00:05:55.440 Do you remember anybody ever saying,
00:05:58.260 is Trump alive?
00:05:59.960 I mean, I can't tell if he's alive.
00:06:03.040 Yes.
00:06:03.780 Yes.
00:06:04.360 He's always alive.
00:06:05.220 He looks alive every time you see him.
00:06:08.080 Joe Biden, he looks like, you know, maybe he's sort of in that gray area, if you know what I mean.
00:06:13.480 Half alive, half dead.
00:06:15.160 Sort of a, sort of a Schrodinger's cat kind of a president.
00:06:20.120 You never really know if he's there or not.
00:06:22.540 No way to know.
00:06:23.220 I've noticed, noted this before, but it's going to lead into something.
00:06:30.380 Some study, according to Pew,
00:06:32.840 56% of young liberal white women have been diagnosed with mental disorders.
00:06:39.240 56% of the largest population of Democrat supporters.
00:06:45.180 Is that true?
00:06:47.260 That there are more single women, sort of the group that seems to wag the dog anyway.
00:06:53.920 That the majority of Democrat voters in the most, I guess the group that probably moves the average the most,
00:07:02.340 are literally mentally ill.
00:07:04.740 Now, why do we wake up every day and act like we're arguing politics?
00:07:12.240 We're not.
00:07:14.200 There's no politics involved.
00:07:16.560 We're actually talking with mentally ill people.
00:07:19.540 And we're pretending that they have an opinion and it's worthy of debate.
00:07:24.520 And, you know, maybe we just disagree with you.
00:07:27.340 No, we don't.
00:07:28.760 Sometimes you're just crazy.
00:07:31.240 Sometimes that's the whole story.
00:07:32.600 But because we're used to thinking it's politics,
00:07:37.400 we'll actually debate it like it's something that you should debate.
00:07:41.120 You don't debate insanity.
00:07:44.920 And by the way, 56% looks really low.
00:07:49.200 And I mean that.
00:07:50.780 It genuinely looks low.
00:07:53.160 What would you say is the percentage of young white women
00:07:56.700 who have something that you would call a mental disorder?
00:07:59.980 I feel it's closer to 80%.
00:08:02.780 And I'm not saying that as an insult.
00:08:06.320 I think there's something about the world
00:08:08.020 that makes a group of people who would have been largely totally sane,
00:08:13.520 maybe, you know, 50 years ago,
00:08:16.120 there is something about the world that's driving people crazy.
00:08:19.520 It's giving them mental problems.
00:08:22.460 So I wouldn't blame the people.
00:08:23.940 There's something about the world in which they live that changed
00:08:26.400 to make people flip out.
00:08:30.600 So there's that.
00:08:36.080 So Bill Maher made an interesting point,
00:08:38.740 which I will emphasize.
00:08:41.260 He said he thinks that the new Speaker of the House,
00:08:45.920 Mike Johnson, is a religious fanatic.
00:08:50.100 So this is what Bill Maher says.
00:08:52.260 When you're this much of a religious fanatic,
00:08:55.940 there's no room for real democracy.
00:08:58.060 Again, talking about the new Speaker of the House.
00:09:00.760 That's not what you believe in.
00:09:02.480 He said it today.
00:09:03.480 Look in the Bible.
00:09:04.660 That's my worldview, Maher said, talking about Johnson.
00:09:09.620 And he said, quote,
00:09:11.160 And I was reading about this horrible shooting in Maine.
00:09:14.020 And you know, we don't know much about the guy yet,
00:09:16.980 but apparently he heard voices.
00:09:18.420 And I thought, is he that different than Mike Johnson?
00:09:24.320 Whoa.
00:09:25.620 Whoa.
00:09:27.160 So in the Middle East,
00:09:28.760 there's a big old war that might drag us into a world war.
00:09:34.820 But does that boil down to two groups
00:09:39.600 who have a different interpretation of what God is telling them?
00:09:43.840 True or not?
00:09:45.380 True or false?
00:09:46.160 If you would remove that element,
00:09:49.580 that two people have a different opinion
00:09:51.360 of what God wants.
00:09:55.620 Now, is Bill Maher completely wrong
00:09:59.120 when he says that in America
00:10:01.520 we would hunt this guy down and put him in jail
00:10:03.800 and over there they get to be the bosses?
00:10:09.520 Is that unfair?
00:10:10.920 It's terribly unfair if you believe
00:10:12.680 one of the religions is accurate or right.
00:10:15.460 Now, I'm not a believer,
00:10:18.040 so I'm just sort of an observer to the whole thing.
00:10:21.140 But here's what I think.
00:10:23.220 I think that the Middle East is two mass hysterias
00:10:26.040 which have overlapped
00:10:28.100 and will spark a war.
00:10:30.940 So every time you think,
00:10:32.480 oh, what's the logical thing to do?
00:10:34.400 Or why can't they all get together?
00:10:36.840 And don't they know it's better for the children?
00:10:39.240 And all that stuff.
00:10:41.940 There's nothing going on
00:10:43.020 except two mass hysterias that overlapped.
00:10:46.040 If either of them were living apart from the other,
00:10:49.760 like a long distance away,
00:10:51.240 it'd probably be fine.
00:10:52.680 It's just that their opinions of reality overlap.
00:10:59.520 In other words, they're incompatible.
00:11:02.140 So that means that we all have to die, I guess.
00:11:04.880 So what would you define as a mass hysteria?
00:11:11.180 I'll give you my working definition,
00:11:13.420 which probably doesn't match the dictionary.
00:11:16.780 I believe that our little brains
00:11:19.540 are not capable of understanding what's real.
00:11:23.380 Ever.
00:11:24.720 Like, I don't know that I'm really sitting here
00:11:26.720 with a piece of paper in my hand.
00:11:28.360 I really don't.
00:11:29.140 You know, when you come right down to it,
00:11:31.820 that's just the impression that's playing in my head.
00:11:35.340 So I don't say,
00:11:37.020 it's not my belief
00:11:38.120 that one of the religions is right
00:11:40.260 and one of them's wrong.
00:11:42.720 I don't think that.
00:11:44.760 And I don't think they're both wrong
00:11:46.840 in the normal sense of those words.
00:11:50.120 I think that all of us are wrong all the time.
00:11:52.640 And there's no option.
00:11:56.320 All of us are wrong about everything all the time.
00:12:00.500 That's my impression of reality.
00:12:02.720 So don't for a minute think
00:12:05.420 that I'm the one with the accurate beliefs
00:12:07.560 and I'm saying that you don't have accurate beliefs.
00:12:11.040 That's not happening.
00:12:12.600 I'm saying that the human brain,
00:12:14.420 of which I have one,
00:12:16.560 is not the right tool
00:12:17.840 for understanding the nature of reality.
00:12:21.300 It's just the wrong tool.
00:12:23.580 So if you think it's the right tool,
00:12:26.920 you might find yourself in a bad situation.
00:12:29.720 So here's how I define a mass hysteria.
00:12:33.240 A mass hysteria is something
00:12:34.620 that a bunch of people have come to believe.
00:12:37.320 Here's the part that I'm adding
00:12:38.620 that's different from a normal interpretation.
00:12:42.140 That is bad for you.
00:12:44.420 So I'm going to add the bad for you.
00:12:46.500 There are plenty of mass hysterias
00:12:50.220 or illusions
00:12:51.160 which are not painful
00:12:53.560 and don't have a risk.
00:12:54.780 So what do we call those?
00:12:58.780 I don't know.
00:13:00.060 A peaceful religion maybe.
00:13:02.380 You might say,
00:13:03.300 oh, it's the Buddhists.
00:13:04.980 If you were, let's say, a big old racist.
00:13:07.200 You'd say, oh, it's the Mormons.
00:13:09.500 If you were a big old bigot,
00:13:12.080 you'd say that.
00:13:13.220 You'd say, well, the Mormons have a belief system
00:13:16.420 which does not seem to get them in any trouble,
00:13:19.280 doesn't cause any wars,
00:13:21.120 and it seems to make them happy.
00:13:24.040 They seem to live quite well within that system.
00:13:27.220 So what would you say of Mormonism?
00:13:30.100 Would you say it's true?
00:13:32.140 How would I know?
00:13:34.080 It's no more or less true than everything else.
00:13:38.000 So I used to be, when I was younger,
00:13:39.700 I was quite judgy.
00:13:41.280 I'd say, how can you believe in that stuff?
00:13:44.140 Because I don't.
00:13:45.940 And then I'd realize, wait a minute.
00:13:48.720 What standard would I use to know that I see the truth?
00:13:53.940 How do I know?
00:13:55.600 How could I possibly know?
00:13:57.800 There's no logic, no facts, nothing I could research.
00:14:01.520 I have no mechanism to know that the Mormons are right or wrong,
00:14:07.060 or any more right or wrong than Judaism, Buddhism,
00:14:13.080 you name it, atheism, adeurism.
00:14:16.880 How the hell would I know what is true?
00:14:20.380 No way to know.
00:14:21.040 But, here's what I can tell fairly easily.
00:14:26.620 There are some belief systems that cause pain and death.
00:14:30.540 And there's some that largely just people stay to themselves
00:14:33.480 and just do their stuff and stay in trouble.
00:14:36.500 Those are really different.
00:14:38.480 So rather than to say,
00:14:40.180 this group believes something that's not true,
00:14:42.840 and I believe something that's true,
00:14:44.360 that's the wrong frame.
00:14:45.240 That frame gets you killed.
00:14:48.420 It would be better to say,
00:14:50.660 I believe something that works,
00:14:53.220 that seems to work,
00:14:54.280 that creates a system and a standard,
00:14:56.840 and I like it, and it feels right,
00:14:59.000 and it feels, you know, my whole body likes it.
00:15:02.740 Kids are growing up well.
00:15:05.560 Keep doing it.
00:15:06.260 If that's working, keep doing it.
00:15:09.580 Don't look to me to tell you whether it's true or false.
00:15:12.220 What would I know?
00:15:13.560 How do I know?
00:15:15.080 I would never be able to know.
00:15:16.720 I can't help you on that.
00:15:18.480 So if it works, keep doing it.
00:15:21.240 That's about the best you can do.
00:15:23.160 You know, I often say that the only standard for truth
00:15:26.080 is does it predict?
00:15:29.200 Does it predict?
00:15:31.000 So if you are raised as a Mormon
00:15:34.460 and decide to raise your kid as a Mormon,
00:15:37.280 could you predict that that would probably,
00:15:40.520 you know, nothing's guaranteed,
00:15:42.660 but probably produce a good citizen?
00:15:46.600 Yeah, probably.
00:15:48.640 Probably.
00:15:49.960 I would think so.
00:15:51.320 If you were a Muslim in America
00:15:54.720 and you didn't have any extremist views
00:15:58.060 and you said,
00:15:59.740 I think I'll raise my kid to be a Muslim too.
00:16:03.320 Is that a good strategy?
00:16:05.200 Probably.
00:16:06.440 Probably.
00:16:07.160 If your interpretation is,
00:16:09.240 you know, let's get along with everybody,
00:16:11.020 you know, yes.
00:16:12.560 Pretty good idea.
00:16:13.240 Christian, same thing.
00:16:14.720 Right.
00:16:16.040 And I don't know,
00:16:17.400 Christian, Mormonism,
00:16:18.340 how you want to overlap those,
00:16:20.500 that's up to you.
00:16:21.060 But let's be very clear
00:16:25.060 that there are only things that seem to work.
00:16:28.360 There are not things that are true or false.
00:16:30.920 We have belief.
00:16:32.500 And belief fills in the gaps
00:16:34.360 for things that can't be known.
00:16:37.300 And if you've got a belief that's working,
00:16:41.520 keep doing it.
00:16:42.180 And if it's causing you to spark World War III,
00:16:47.420 maybe consider alternatives.
00:16:50.240 Don't necessarily have to change your belief,
00:16:52.860 but you might need to change something
00:16:54.580 to not die.
00:16:57.500 Here's what I recommend,
00:16:59.840 but not really.
00:17:02.420 Sometimes I recommend things
00:17:04.060 just so you have to think about it.
00:17:07.080 And here's one.
00:17:08.020 I recommend instead of having
00:17:10.540 a big old fight in the Middle East
00:17:12.200 that never ends and we're all going to die,
00:17:15.260 I recommend that instead
00:17:16.660 there's a televised summit
00:17:18.120 in which the major religions
00:17:20.300 put their leaders together
00:17:22.120 and they figure out what God really wants.
00:17:27.080 Because I'm spending my tax money
00:17:30.020 because two people I don't know,
00:17:33.300 two groups of people that mostly I don't know,
00:17:35.780 I mean, I know some people from every community,
00:17:38.020 but mostly people I don't know
00:17:39.920 can argue about what God has in mind.
00:17:43.900 Why am I spending money on that?
00:17:47.200 Well, it's because if they can't figure it out,
00:17:49.600 I'm going to fucking die,
00:17:51.580 as well as people that I care about would die.
00:17:55.600 So I don't want that.
00:17:57.220 But I'm not entirely comfortable
00:17:59.640 with two people interpreting God differently
00:18:03.020 and I've got to pay them for it.
00:18:04.620 Oh, I'd better pay you
00:18:06.380 because you disagree about what God wants.
00:18:10.200 Not good enough.
00:18:11.920 Not good enough.
00:18:14.580 So we should make the leaders
00:18:16.820 sit in a room televised
00:18:19.160 and they need to argue with each other
00:18:21.300 about why their belief
00:18:22.940 in their interpretation of what God wants,
00:18:25.500 in general.
00:18:26.500 I mean, in general,
00:18:27.380 not just about, you know, Israel.
00:18:29.700 But a general comment.
00:18:32.200 Who has the right God?
00:18:34.040 Because if it turns out that the Hamas
00:18:37.200 has a really good argument,
00:18:40.360 I'd love to hear it.
00:18:42.280 I don't think it's going to convince me
00:18:44.440 to go over to their side,
00:18:46.400 but don't you want to see it in public?
00:18:49.400 Here's what that would turn into.
00:18:50.740 Here's my book
00:18:52.800 and, you know,
00:18:54.460 God wrote it basically indirectly,
00:18:56.920 so this is true.
00:18:58.640 And then the other side says,
00:19:00.120 I will kill you.
00:19:01.100 Here's my book
00:19:01.860 that somebody wrote
00:19:03.240 that says it's true.
00:19:05.040 And then you have maybe
00:19:06.280 ten other religions too.
00:19:08.480 And they all say,
00:19:09.700 well, I got a book.
00:19:11.380 Here's my book of Mormon.
00:19:13.540 Anybody? Anybody?
00:19:15.080 Came directly from God.
00:19:16.840 And then you just go down the line
00:19:19.400 and you find out
00:19:20.280 while it's televised
00:19:22.080 that everybody's argument
00:19:24.060 for their version of God
00:19:25.640 is the same.
00:19:34.080 That's it.
00:19:36.340 That's how you deprogram the world.
00:19:39.260 The way you deprogram the world
00:19:41.080 is to have everybody
00:19:42.000 hold up their book
00:19:42.860 and say,
00:19:43.300 this is my proof.
00:19:45.200 Because I got a book
00:19:46.260 and it came from God.
00:19:48.740 That's it.
00:19:50.740 And everybody's a tie.
00:19:52.680 You find it's like
00:19:53.460 a ten-way tie.
00:19:55.460 Wait, wait,
00:19:56.160 you've got a holy book too?
00:19:57.600 Where'd that holy book come from?
00:19:59.640 God?
00:20:00.860 Duh.
00:20:02.080 You know,
00:20:02.660 I mean, indirectly.
00:20:03.640 He told somebody to write it,
00:20:05.680 but basically it's God.
00:20:08.860 Now,
00:20:09.600 here's the best you could do
00:20:11.740 with that outcome.
00:20:13.540 The best you could do
00:20:14.900 is teach people
00:20:15.820 there's a difference
00:20:16.580 between what you know
00:20:17.800 and what you believe.
00:20:21.020 And that if you're dying
00:20:22.620 for what you believe
00:20:23.820 instead of what you know,
00:20:25.740 you're doing it wrong.
00:20:27.620 You should die for what you know.
00:20:30.260 Like,
00:20:31.400 for example,
00:20:32.060 if I don't have food,
00:20:33.380 I will die.
00:20:35.520 Right?
00:20:35.960 You know that you need
00:20:36.960 to grow food.
00:20:38.400 That's something you know.
00:20:40.280 All right?
00:20:40.880 Or at least it's predictable
00:20:42.040 as that quality of prediction.
00:20:44.680 If I don't eat,
00:20:45.640 if I don't grow food
00:20:46.760 and I don't have food,
00:20:48.460 will I live?
00:20:49.640 Well,
00:20:50.120 the prediction's
00:20:50.780 going to be pretty clean.
00:20:52.540 So,
00:20:53.240 you need to make
00:20:54.560 a clear distinction
00:20:55.660 between what can be predicted,
00:20:58.100 which is as close
00:20:59.140 as you can get to truth,
00:21:00.720 and what can't.
00:21:02.120 You know what can't be predicted?
00:21:03.280 The outcome of anything
00:21:06.280 in the Middle East.
00:21:08.500 I mean,
00:21:08.780 you could say
00:21:09.280 Israel would do great damage
00:21:13.200 to Gaza
00:21:13.800 and control it
00:21:14.840 if they want to.
00:21:15.720 Yeah,
00:21:16.100 but then what happens?
00:21:17.860 Nothing.
00:21:18.820 You don't think
00:21:19.260 if there's any reaction.
00:21:20.400 You don't think
00:21:20.780 Hezbollah will make a move
00:21:21.920 or if they don't make a move now,
00:21:24.080 won't they build up resources
00:21:25.360 so they can make a move later?
00:21:27.040 There's no way to know
00:21:27.940 how it turns out.
00:21:29.460 So,
00:21:29.940 if one of you
00:21:30.380 has the right God,
00:21:31.940 you better start
00:21:32.600 making a prediction.
00:21:34.720 And here's what
00:21:35.320 I would ask them.
00:21:36.540 Here's the deal.
00:21:37.280 The only way
00:21:37.760 we can tell
00:21:38.280 what's true-ish
00:21:39.480 is prediction.
00:21:41.420 So,
00:21:41.880 each of you
00:21:42.340 hold up your book
00:21:43.220 and let's get a picture
00:21:44.940 of you holding up your book
00:21:46.080 that that's your argument
00:21:47.580 for why your God
00:21:48.520 is the right one.
00:21:49.680 Now,
00:21:50.060 make a prediction.
00:21:51.900 Tell us what you think
00:21:53.040 the Middle East
00:21:53.600 will look like
00:21:54.340 in five years
00:21:55.680 or whatever
00:21:56.060 and
00:21:57.480 see which one
00:21:59.120 can predict.
00:22:00.420 Now,
00:22:00.680 it might be easier
00:22:01.420 for the Hamas
00:22:03.900 to predict
00:22:04.480 because they'll say
00:22:05.740 in ten years
00:22:06.720 Israel will still
00:22:08.180 be abusing us
00:22:09.080 and we'll still
00:22:09.660 be fighting
00:22:10.260 for our rights.
00:22:11.540 Well,
00:22:11.840 they might be right
00:22:12.400 about that,
00:22:13.140 at least the fighting
00:22:13.920 for the rights part.
00:22:15.200 The abuse part,
00:22:16.500 well,
00:22:16.900 we don't have free speech
00:22:18.100 so we can't talk
00:22:18.760 about that.
00:22:19.940 If we had free speech,
00:22:21.900 we'd have a conversation
00:22:22.960 that would look like this.
00:22:24.880 Hey,
00:22:25.540 this side does some things
00:22:26.880 that by any objective
00:22:28.700 standard,
00:22:29.760 a reasonable person
00:22:30.840 would say,
00:22:31.300 hmm,
00:22:32.260 that feels a little
00:22:33.280 like not too cool,
00:22:35.320 but then the other
00:22:36.260 side does some things
00:22:37.240 that are also
00:22:38.280 not too cool
00:22:39.180 and they're not equal.
00:22:41.200 They're not doing
00:22:41.760 the same things exactly,
00:22:43.180 but maybe there's
00:22:44.100 some not cool things
00:22:45.300 on both sides.
00:22:46.520 Maybe if you fix
00:22:47.440 the not cool things,
00:22:48.820 you could all live
00:22:49.560 in peace,
00:22:50.840 say the stupidest
00:22:51.700 people in the world.
00:22:53.520 By the way,
00:22:54.040 what's the stupidest
00:22:54.940 thing you could ever
00:22:55.780 believe about Israel
00:22:57.700 and Hamas
00:22:58.740 or even the Palestinians?
00:23:01.420 That they can live
00:23:02.340 in peace.
00:23:05.100 The children
00:23:06.240 on one side
00:23:07.540 have been weaponized
00:23:08.540 to believe
00:23:10.540 that they have
00:23:11.060 to grow up
00:23:11.600 and kill as many
00:23:12.680 Israelis as they can.
00:23:14.320 What are you
00:23:14.620 going to do with that?
00:23:16.120 Are you going to
00:23:16.500 work it out?
00:23:17.740 Do a political
00:23:18.720 agreement?
00:23:20.720 No.
00:23:21.520 The only way
00:23:22.360 any of this
00:23:22.860 could ever end
00:23:23.640 without complete
00:23:25.080 disaster is
00:23:26.600 they'd all decide
00:23:27.840 they believe
00:23:28.880 in the same God.
00:23:30.660 That's not going
00:23:31.280 to happen.
00:23:33.560 Or they come
00:23:34.420 to understand
00:23:35.060 that there's
00:23:35.760 a difference
00:23:36.160 between what's
00:23:37.060 real,
00:23:38.440 facts,
00:23:39.540 they can predict,
00:23:41.120 and what is
00:23:41.860 a belief.
00:23:43.380 And the belief
00:23:44.220 is also real,
00:23:45.080 but it's a different
00:23:45.580 kind of real.
00:23:47.740 In other words,
00:23:48.480 you could really
00:23:49.040 believe it,
00:23:49.660 and it becomes
00:23:50.340 the reality
00:23:50.880 that you experience.
00:23:51.880 it needs to be
00:23:56.260 in its own
00:23:56.660 category,
00:23:57.600 not in the
00:23:58.260 category where
00:23:58.920 you have to
00:23:59.580 kill each
00:23:59.940 other.
00:24:01.140 So I ask
00:24:01.860 this question.
00:24:03.600 So anyway,
00:24:04.080 that's a real
00:24:05.260 suggestion,
00:24:06.440 is that there
00:24:06.980 should be a
00:24:07.560 televised summit
00:24:08.720 in which the
00:24:09.840 religious people
00:24:10.620 of all types
00:24:11.420 argue which
00:24:12.660 God is the
00:24:13.300 right one.
00:24:14.780 We definitely
00:24:15.720 should really,
00:24:16.860 really do that.
00:24:17.960 Now,
00:24:18.660 would anybody
00:24:19.280 agree to do it?
00:24:20.200 You know,
00:24:21.020 could you get
00:24:21.500 the Pope
00:24:22.740 to pick a
00:24:24.340 champion,
00:24:25.640 for example?
00:24:26.480 I mean,
00:24:27.140 Catholicism just
00:24:28.220 being one branch
00:24:29.000 of Christianity.
00:24:30.060 But could you
00:24:30.660 get them to
00:24:31.200 pick a champion?
00:24:32.300 I think no.
00:24:34.040 I think probably
00:24:34.600 not.
00:24:35.160 Do you know
00:24:35.480 why?
00:24:36.260 Do you know
00:24:36.920 why none
00:24:37.840 of the major
00:24:38.440 religious groups
00:24:39.340 would participate
00:24:40.560 in a discussion
00:24:41.580 of what is
00:24:42.160 real?
00:24:43.580 Well,
00:24:43.880 it should be
00:24:44.220 pretty obvious.
00:24:45.500 Do I have
00:24:45.960 to explain it?
00:24:47.860 Because I know
00:24:48.600 they can't
00:24:49.020 defend it.
00:24:49.500 The whole
00:24:50.820 point of
00:24:51.540 belief is
00:24:52.960 that it's
00:24:53.280 the part
00:24:53.620 that you
00:24:53.900 can't
00:24:54.320 defend
00:24:54.620 with,
00:24:55.900 you know,
00:24:56.220 the normal
00:24:56.920 kind of
00:24:57.400 defense that
00:24:58.100 you defend
00:24:58.760 things,
00:24:59.200 as in a
00:24:59.820 court case.
00:25:04.040 So,
00:25:05.440 if you
00:25:06.240 can't work
00:25:06.680 it out
00:25:06.940 that way,
00:25:07.480 and I
00:25:07.820 expect nobody
00:25:08.460 will be
00:25:08.900 reasonable
00:25:09.260 enough to
00:25:09.720 do that,
00:25:10.780 it's the
00:25:11.160 only way
00:25:11.480 you could
00:25:11.920 deprogram
00:25:12.940 enough
00:25:13.240 people,
00:25:14.460 but what
00:25:16.140 would you
00:25:16.460 do about
00:25:17.120 the fact
00:25:17.600 that the
00:25:18.340 children
00:25:18.960 in the
00:25:20.620 Palestinian
00:25:21.100 areas appear
00:25:21.940 to be,
00:25:23.160 and I'll
00:25:23.540 take a
00:25:23.880 fact check
00:25:24.320 on this,
00:25:24.740 if I'm
00:25:25.040 wrong,
00:25:25.380 I'm wrong,
00:25:26.360 and I'll
00:25:27.020 definitely
00:25:27.460 apologize and
00:25:28.320 change my
00:25:28.740 opinion.
00:25:29.880 But isn't it
00:25:30.560 true that
00:25:31.040 they're being
00:25:31.800 taught from
00:25:32.500 birth,
00:25:33.080 practically,
00:25:33.720 that they
00:25:34.540 need to
00:25:35.100 destroy Israel
00:25:36.360 and kill
00:25:36.900 all the
00:25:37.200 Jews?
00:25:38.240 I'm not
00:25:38.860 making that
00:25:39.300 up,
00:25:39.560 am I?
00:25:41.060 Now,
00:25:41.600 if the
00:25:41.920 children are
00:25:42.400 weaponized,
00:25:43.120 I'm going
00:25:43.420 to ask you
00:25:43.820 the only
00:25:44.220 question that
00:25:45.060 nobody else
00:25:46.360 can say.
00:25:47.840 I'm going
00:25:48.200 to say
00:25:48.420 something out
00:25:49.160 loud that
00:25:50.780 I don't
00:25:51.040 think anybody
00:25:51.560 else can
00:25:52.020 say,
00:25:52.560 honestly,
00:25:53.140 in the
00:25:53.420 whole world.
00:25:54.720 Is it
00:25:55.320 moral to
00:25:55.860 kill children
00:25:56.420 who've been
00:25:56.860 weaponized to
00:25:57.640 grow up and
00:25:58.120 kill you and
00:25:58.580 your family?
00:26:00.160 Is it
00:26:00.820 moral to
00:26:02.660 intentionally
00:26:03.280 kill children
00:26:04.140 who you
00:26:05.640 know to have
00:26:06.320 been weaponized
00:26:07.200 to grow up
00:26:07.900 and kill you
00:26:08.520 and your
00:26:09.200 family?
00:26:11.440 I'm looking
00:26:12.060 at your
00:26:12.300 answers,
00:26:12.560 I see
00:26:12.940 lots of
00:26:13.340 no's.
00:26:17.280 I do
00:26:17.960 see some
00:26:18.400 yeses.
00:26:19.800 Now,
00:26:20.180 I'm not
00:26:20.500 saying that
00:26:21.000 it's legal.
00:26:23.580 Legal is
00:26:24.400 different from
00:26:25.120 immoral,
00:26:25.940 right?
00:26:26.620 There are
00:26:27.220 some things,
00:26:28.480 you know,
00:26:28.640 because you
00:26:28.900 could argue
00:26:29.360 that even
00:26:29.800 self-defense
00:26:30.560 is immoral
00:26:31.220 if you were
00:26:32.100 a real
00:26:32.620 stickler for
00:26:33.760 it,
00:26:34.500 because it
00:26:35.400 takes a
00:26:35.860 life.
00:26:38.320 Well,
00:26:39.000 here's the
00:26:39.400 thing.
00:26:40.000 That's the
00:26:40.620 question you're
00:26:41.160 going to have
00:26:41.360 to decide.
00:26:43.540 You're
00:26:44.020 going to have
00:26:44.200 to decide
00:26:44.620 that.
00:26:45.380 Because if
00:26:45.740 you want
00:26:45.960 to take
00:26:46.240 a side
00:26:46.660 with Israel
00:26:48.200 versus Hamas,
00:26:50.660 the only
00:26:51.240 way either
00:26:51.760 of them
00:26:52.040 would prevail
00:26:52.620 is by
00:26:52.980 killing the
00:26:53.440 children of
00:26:53.920 the other
00:26:54.200 side,
00:26:55.160 along with
00:26:55.640 everybody
00:26:55.940 else.
00:26:57.200 Now,
00:26:57.920 you could
00:26:58.380 kill them
00:26:58.860 or you
00:26:59.120 could put
00:26:59.400 them in
00:26:59.640 camps,
00:27:01.120 or you
00:27:01.980 could try
00:27:02.620 to spread
00:27:03.440 them out
00:27:03.860 so they
00:27:04.240 don't cause
00:27:04.740 too much
00:27:05.080 trouble because
00:27:05.620 they're all
00:27:05.900 spread out,
00:27:07.000 but nobody
00:27:07.780 wants them.
00:27:08.280 So if
00:27:10.060 you can't
00:27:10.520 take them
00:27:11.000 and put
00:27:11.480 them in
00:27:11.760 other friendly
00:27:12.580 countries that
00:27:13.340 will maybe
00:27:14.780 help re-educate
00:27:15.920 them in a
00:27:16.600 less dangerous
00:27:17.740 way, if that's
00:27:18.940 not an option,
00:27:20.420 what are you
00:27:21.400 going to do?
00:27:22.260 Put them in
00:27:22.900 another outdoor
00:27:23.880 jail or kill
00:27:26.860 them?
00:27:27.700 And it looks
00:27:28.220 like the option
00:27:28.800 is both.
00:27:29.280 now, and
00:27:32.700 you say
00:27:32.980 to yourself,
00:27:33.360 my God,
00:27:33.900 my God,
00:27:34.300 that's
00:27:34.540 terrible.
00:27:35.500 How can
00:27:35.860 Israel
00:27:36.380 intentionally
00:27:37.620 kill
00:27:38.100 civilians,
00:27:39.360 especially
00:27:39.800 including that
00:27:40.460 many children?
00:27:41.180 It's like
00:27:41.440 half children,
00:27:42.560 50% of
00:27:43.440 Gaza's
00:27:43.820 children.
00:27:44.760 I don't
00:27:45.160 know if
00:27:45.360 that's true
00:27:46.460 in the
00:27:46.820 bombing areas.
00:27:48.060 It might
00:27:48.320 be more
00:27:48.640 adults
00:27:49.080 percentage
00:27:50.260 in the
00:27:50.640 bombing
00:27:50.880 areas if
00:27:51.440 they were
00:27:52.280 smart enough
00:27:52.700 to get
00:27:52.960 the kids
00:27:53.280 down.
00:27:54.220 But in
00:27:55.060 any scenario,
00:27:57.320 either
00:27:57.700 Israel
00:27:59.240 does
00:27:59.580 nothing
00:28:00.000 and they
00:28:00.940 watch their
00:28:01.420 own children
00:28:01.980 being slaughtered
00:28:03.220 again,
00:28:04.700 can they do
00:28:05.600 that?
00:28:06.440 Of course
00:28:07.040 they can't.
00:28:07.740 They cannot
00:28:08.240 do that.
00:28:09.320 Or they
00:28:10.720 kill all
00:28:11.320 of the
00:28:11.600 children of
00:28:12.240 the Palestinians,
00:28:13.620 which they
00:28:14.640 can't do.
00:28:15.620 There's no
00:28:16.280 way that
00:28:16.720 they're going
00:28:17.140 to do
00:28:17.360 that.
00:28:18.340 Or they
00:28:19.660 kill a
00:28:20.060 bunch of
00:28:20.580 people and
00:28:21.780 put the
00:28:22.100 rest in
00:28:22.600 prison camps
00:28:23.380 for the
00:28:24.240 rest of
00:28:24.620 time and
00:28:25.740 just keep
00:28:26.300 them abused.
00:28:27.140 What's
00:28:29.320 their best
00:28:29.700 play?
00:28:32.200 Unfortunately,
00:28:32.800 that's their
00:28:33.180 best play.
00:28:35.540 Do you
00:28:36.080 have a
00:28:36.300 better idea?
00:28:38.540 Let's
00:28:39.020 talk about
00:28:39.440 it again.
00:28:40.020 You either
00:28:40.480 let the
00:28:41.100 people in
00:28:41.840 Gaza get
00:28:43.480 diversified into
00:28:44.800 other countries
00:28:45.580 that are
00:28:45.860 friendly and
00:28:46.460 want them.
00:28:47.480 Maybe they
00:28:48.180 can deprogram
00:28:48.980 them or
00:28:49.600 they're not
00:28:49.960 too dangerous
00:28:50.580 if they're
00:28:51.400 not grouped
00:28:51.980 together.
00:28:53.300 That doesn't
00:28:54.040 seem to be
00:28:54.480 an option.
00:28:55.420 Nobody wants
00:28:55.960 them.
00:28:56.080 Do you
00:28:56.940 know why
00:28:57.220 nobody wants
00:28:57.840 them?
00:28:58.820 Because it
00:28:59.120 would be
00:28:59.220 too dangerous
00:28:59.880 if the
00:29:00.200 children are
00:29:00.660 weaponized.
00:29:02.260 Who wants
00:29:03.000 a bunch of
00:29:03.360 weaponized
00:29:03.840 children and
00:29:04.460 their boundaries?
00:29:07.440 So it's
00:29:09.040 time to
00:29:09.420 grow up,
00:29:10.000 people.
00:29:11.640 Look at
00:29:12.280 the options
00:29:12.760 you really
00:29:13.280 have.
00:29:14.500 The options
00:29:14.960 you really
00:29:15.580 have are
00:29:17.520 to have a
00:29:18.160 summit and
00:29:18.960 you work
00:29:19.400 it out.
00:29:21.140 Seems
00:29:21.680 impossible.
00:29:23.260 Distribute
00:29:23.780 people to
00:29:24.240 other countries.
00:29:24.920 It's not
00:29:25.780 going to
00:29:26.020 work.
00:29:27.120 Do sort
00:29:27.940 of nothing
00:29:28.420 and put
00:29:28.960 Gaza back
00:29:29.860 together and
00:29:30.440 rebuild it.
00:29:31.620 Kids are
00:29:32.100 weaponized.
00:29:32.800 They come
00:29:33.040 back and
00:29:33.400 kill your
00:29:33.740 children.
00:29:34.560 That doesn't
00:29:35.020 work.
00:29:35.700 Never
00:29:35.960 going to
00:29:36.200 happen.
00:29:37.580 Or Israel
00:29:38.500 goes really
00:29:39.100 really tough
00:29:39.760 and kills
00:29:41.160 a bunch of
00:29:41.580 people in
00:29:41.980 Gaza who
00:29:42.580 don't want
00:29:43.060 to leave
00:29:43.360 the bombing
00:29:43.820 area,
00:29:44.640 which is
00:29:44.960 not entirely
00:29:46.440 their choice
00:29:46.960 but feels
00:29:48.700 like it a
00:29:49.120 little bit,
00:29:50.380 and puts
00:29:51.740 them in
00:29:52.040 camps and
00:29:52.580 just leaves
00:29:52.980 them there
00:29:53.280 until they
00:29:53.760 stop reproducing.
00:29:54.920 If that
00:29:57.680 happens.
00:29:58.200 I mean,
00:29:58.420 I imagine
00:29:58.760 they would
00:29:59.040 still reproduce
00:29:59.620 anyway.
00:30:00.380 I mean,
00:30:00.600 you would
00:30:00.820 almost have
00:30:01.360 to spike
00:30:01.860 the water
00:30:02.320 with birth
00:30:05.120 control.
00:30:07.080 You would
00:30:07.920 have to
00:30:08.180 almost poison
00:30:09.000 the prisoners
00:30:10.340 with birth
00:30:11.020 control so
00:30:11.600 they couldn't
00:30:12.040 reproduce.
00:30:13.720 What else
00:30:14.340 would work?
00:30:15.540 So basically,
00:30:16.600 every path
00:30:17.280 is a war
00:30:17.820 crime.
00:30:18.920 Am I
00:30:19.560 right?
00:30:19.760 every path
00:30:21.680 that's
00:30:22.340 available
00:30:22.820 is a war
00:30:24.380 crime,
00:30:25.240 in my
00:30:25.620 opinion.
00:30:27.160 Now,
00:30:27.680 if you're
00:30:28.040 saying,
00:30:28.500 Scott,
00:30:29.300 are you
00:30:29.620 criticizing
00:30:30.200 Israel?
00:30:31.000 No.
00:30:32.040 No,
00:30:32.520 I'm not.
00:30:33.460 Because if
00:30:33.880 you put me
00:30:34.400 in their
00:30:34.680 position,
00:30:35.280 I'd be
00:30:35.600 doing all
00:30:35.980 kinds of
00:30:36.380 war crimes.
00:30:37.400 I'd be
00:30:37.800 war criming
00:30:38.420 all over
00:30:38.800 the place.
00:30:39.760 And I
00:30:40.080 wouldn't
00:30:40.260 even feel
00:30:40.740 a little
00:30:41.260 bit bad
00:30:41.700 about it.
00:30:42.500 Honestly,
00:30:42.940 I wouldn't.
00:30:44.080 Put yourself
00:30:44.740 in their
00:30:45.060 situation.
00:30:46.200 You'd be
00:30:46.720 war criming
00:30:47.400 like crazy
00:30:47.960 if it
00:30:48.220 happened
00:30:48.440 to you.
00:30:49.260 You know
00:30:49.600 you would.
00:30:50.400 So I'm
00:30:50.700 not going
00:30:50.940 to judge
00:30:51.380 them for
00:30:52.200 doing exactly
00:30:53.140 what I
00:30:53.560 would do
00:30:53.840 in that
00:30:54.100 situation.
00:30:54.940 How do
00:30:55.320 you judge
00:30:55.660 that?
00:30:56.940 How can
00:30:57.480 I be
00:30:57.760 judgy about
00:30:58.500 exactly what
00:30:59.420 I would
00:30:59.620 do in
00:31:00.080 that
00:31:00.240 situation?
00:31:01.260 I can't
00:31:01.720 not be
00:31:03.160 honest about
00:31:03.920 it.
00:31:05.080 So I'm
00:31:05.760 not going
00:31:06.040 to get
00:31:06.320 on Israel.
00:31:07.180 The
00:31:07.300 situation
00:31:07.780 is the
00:31:08.140 situation.
00:31:09.320 But I'm
00:31:12.980 not going
00:31:13.240 to judge
00:31:13.580 anybody for
00:31:14.420 a war
00:31:14.760 crime when
00:31:15.240 they have
00:31:15.480 no choice.
00:31:15.980 And if
00:31:17.640 you think
00:31:18.100 I'm going
00:31:18.440 to judge
00:31:18.880 Israel if
00:31:19.560 they wipe
00:31:19.920 down every
00:31:20.480 child in
00:31:21.080 the Palestinian
00:31:21.740 organization who
00:31:23.140 had been
00:31:23.400 weaponized to
00:31:24.120 grow up and
00:31:24.540 kill them,
00:31:25.480 I would say
00:31:25.940 that would be
00:31:26.360 like the
00:31:26.740 worst thing I
00:31:27.340 ever heard
00:31:27.680 of in my
00:31:28.100 entire life
00:31:28.860 and justified.
00:31:32.360 And justified.
00:31:34.160 Morally.
00:31:35.260 Not legally.
00:31:36.260 I mean,
00:31:36.460 it would be a
00:31:36.940 war crime of
00:31:37.760 all war crimes.
00:31:39.040 So, I mean,
00:31:39.780 somebody would
00:31:40.160 probably go to
00:31:40.620 jail for that.
00:31:41.960 But you
00:31:43.480 tell me what's
00:31:44.040 the alternative.
00:31:44.480 See, the
00:31:46.100 big question
00:31:46.840 that everybody
00:31:47.300 wants to
00:31:47.820 ignore is
00:31:49.020 that the
00:31:49.380 children have
00:31:49.980 been weaponized.
00:31:51.500 As soon as
00:31:52.120 you accept that
00:31:52.840 little truth,
00:31:54.060 all of your
00:31:54.600 options go
00:31:55.300 away.
00:31:56.180 You only have
00:31:57.020 war crime or
00:31:59.460 war crime.
00:32:00.880 You don't have
00:32:01.680 other options.
00:32:03.320 So I'm
00:32:04.080 definitely not
00:32:04.700 going to be
00:32:05.020 judging Israel
00:32:05.740 for whatever
00:32:07.020 the hell they
00:32:07.500 do.
00:32:09.260 Because when
00:32:10.940 your only choices
00:32:11.660 are bad,
00:32:12.320 you've got to
00:32:12.700 make a bad
00:32:13.180 choice.
00:32:13.560 you just
00:32:14.800 have to
00:32:15.120 wish that
00:32:15.500 you're not
00:32:15.840 the one
00:32:16.540 who has
00:32:16.780 to make
00:32:17.000 that
00:32:17.180 decision.
00:32:19.800 So is
00:32:20.540 that the
00:32:21.440 most raw
00:32:22.180 opinion you've
00:32:23.020 heard on
00:32:23.320 this?
00:32:24.060 I bet that's
00:32:24.540 the closest
00:32:25.060 to an honest
00:32:26.480 opinion you've
00:32:27.220 ever heard on
00:32:27.900 the topic.
00:32:29.920 Would you
00:32:30.520 agree?
00:32:32.100 Because
00:32:32.580 everybody wants
00:32:33.240 to ignore the
00:32:34.460 fact that the
00:32:35.060 children have
00:32:35.620 been weaponized.
00:32:37.200 As soon as
00:32:37.960 you accept
00:32:39.300 that truth,
00:32:40.380 and by the
00:32:40.740 way, if that's
00:32:41.340 not true,
00:32:42.300 if it turns
00:32:42.840 out that
00:32:43.420 10% of
00:32:45.040 them have
00:32:45.400 been weaponized
00:32:46.080 but the
00:32:46.360 other 90%
00:32:47.060 are perfectly
00:32:48.400 salvageable,
00:32:50.360 then you
00:32:51.080 should do
00:32:51.320 everything you
00:32:51.840 can do to
00:32:52.400 salvage as
00:32:53.060 many kids as
00:32:53.660 you can.
00:32:54.820 But if you
00:32:55.340 have no
00:32:55.660 choices, don't
00:32:56.400 act like you
00:32:56.960 do.
00:32:58.820 Most of our
00:32:59.620 opinions on
00:33:00.620 the war are
00:33:02.180 dumbfuck
00:33:02.900 opinions.
00:33:04.460 A dumbfuck
00:33:05.020 opinion is where
00:33:05.820 you ignore
00:33:06.580 the cost of
00:33:08.760 whatever your
00:33:09.420 awesome idea
00:33:10.380 is.
00:33:11.360 Here's an
00:33:12.020 example.
00:33:13.520 I think they
00:33:14.160 should have a
00:33:14.680 ceasefire.
00:33:17.320 Come on.
00:33:19.320 Come on.
00:33:21.260 Are you even
00:33:22.200 trying?
00:33:23.380 Are you even
00:33:24.340 trying to
00:33:24.900 understand the
00:33:25.640 situation?
00:33:27.620 Ceasefire is
00:33:28.380 the worst idea
00:33:29.020 ever.
00:33:30.120 No, that's
00:33:30.560 not, and by
00:33:31.560 the way, it's
00:33:31.940 not going to
00:33:32.360 happen.
00:33:33.240 So there's no
00:33:33.740 chance of it
00:33:34.280 happening.
00:33:34.580 So why
00:33:37.180 can't you be
00:33:37.620 honest?
00:33:38.420 There's nothing
00:33:39.040 that Israel can
00:33:39.860 do except kill
00:33:41.320 a bunch of
00:33:41.920 men, women,
00:33:42.660 and children and
00:33:44.020 depopulate the
00:33:44.900 area and control
00:33:45.820 it for the rest
00:33:46.380 of time.
00:33:47.540 That's the only
00:33:48.440 thing they can
00:33:48.980 do.
00:33:49.840 If they had two
00:33:50.580 choices, I'd be
00:33:51.480 talking about that
00:33:52.180 other choice.
00:33:54.180 Does somebody
00:33:54.940 want to make a
00:33:55.460 suggestion?
00:33:56.500 What's your
00:33:57.100 suggestion?
00:33:59.100 What's the
00:33:59.580 other?
00:33:59.940 Truce.
00:34:00.920 Seriously?
00:34:02.120 A truce?
00:34:02.600 No, a truce
00:34:04.120 just means they
00:34:05.420 rebuild and
00:34:06.300 slaughter your
00:34:06.860 family.
00:34:08.260 Now, give me a
00:34:08.940 real suggestion.
00:34:11.000 Any real
00:34:11.620 suggestion that
00:34:12.780 doesn't involve
00:34:13.740 essentially depopulating
00:34:15.200 Gaza and Israel
00:34:17.120 owning it
00:34:17.580 forever.
00:34:18.580 There is none.
00:34:20.200 If anybody had
00:34:21.340 an idea, they
00:34:22.800 would have
00:34:23.080 mentioned it by
00:34:23.700 now.
00:34:24.980 Nobody has an
00:34:25.980 idea.
00:34:26.700 This is a battle
00:34:27.480 to the death.
00:34:29.340 And it wasn't
00:34:30.620 my choice.
00:34:31.180 I did not
00:34:32.320 suggest anybody
00:34:33.160 have a battle
00:34:33.740 to the death.
00:34:35.060 But here's one
00:34:36.340 thing I do
00:34:36.800 think.
00:34:38.220 If the reason
00:34:39.120 your baby is
00:34:39.940 going to get
00:34:40.320 slaughtered is
00:34:42.100 because there's
00:34:43.060 a guy in a
00:34:43.760 nice religious
00:34:44.680 outfit who
00:34:46.040 thinks that's
00:34:46.620 the way it
00:34:47.020 should go,
00:34:48.280 then maybe
00:34:48.800 those fucking
00:34:49.520 guys should be
00:34:50.160 killing each
00:34:50.660 other.
00:34:51.540 Right?
00:34:51.860 Maybe you
00:34:52.360 take the
00:34:52.740 leaders who
00:34:53.360 believe this
00:34:53.800 shit and put
00:34:54.300 them in one
00:34:54.700 room and say,
00:34:55.700 hey, fight it
00:34:56.860 out.
00:34:57.320 Whoever's left
00:34:58.040 will follow you.
00:34:59.180 Why are you
00:35:01.560 killing our
00:35:02.080 children?
00:35:03.620 And I will
00:35:04.200 say, as a
00:35:05.240 citizen of
00:35:05.840 earth, as a
00:35:07.520 citizen of
00:35:08.040 earth, the
00:35:08.880 Palestinian
00:35:09.460 children are my
00:35:10.360 children and the
00:35:11.260 Jewish children are
00:35:12.060 my children as
00:35:12.780 well.
00:35:13.540 Why are you
00:35:13.960 killing my
00:35:14.440 children?
00:35:15.940 They didn't
00:35:16.440 come up with any
00:35:17.460 of these ideas.
00:35:18.980 The children are
00:35:19.780 not the creators
00:35:20.960 of the beliefs
00:35:21.940 that are causing
00:35:23.640 all the problems.
00:35:24.240 It's the
00:35:24.480 leaders.
00:35:25.700 So put the
00:35:26.380 leaders in a
00:35:26.980 room and have
00:35:27.440 them fight it
00:35:27.940 out.
00:35:28.300 Otherwise, the
00:35:28.840 rest of us
00:35:29.280 should just
00:35:29.620 live our
00:35:30.040 lives.
00:35:30.960 Because if
00:35:31.400 you've got a
00:35:31.820 leader that's
00:35:32.300 telling you to
00:35:32.720 go to war
00:35:33.280 against your
00:35:34.700 neighbor, and
00:35:36.340 you haven't
00:35:36.840 exhausted other
00:35:37.740 possibilities, it's
00:35:38.760 not exactly your
00:35:39.700 best leader.
00:35:42.340 But once you
00:35:43.500 get to this
00:35:44.060 point, all of
00:35:46.500 your options are
00:35:47.160 exhausted, and
00:35:48.380 you end up doing
00:35:49.160 exactly what
00:35:50.020 Israel is doing.
00:35:52.120 So will it be a
00:35:53.360 war crime?
00:35:54.020 I would say, of
00:35:54.760 course.
00:35:56.060 Of course it
00:35:56.680 will.
00:35:57.640 Did they have a
00:35:58.220 choice?
00:35:58.540 Nope.
00:36:00.020 And I would
00:36:00.700 also say that
00:36:01.320 every war is a
00:36:02.320 war crime.
00:36:03.960 They all are.
00:36:05.300 Did I ever
00:36:05.640 tell you this?
00:36:07.360 I probably have
00:36:08.240 told you this
00:36:08.680 story before.
00:36:09.920 I'll give you the
00:36:10.700 quick version.
00:36:12.380 There was once a
00:36:13.640 veteran of World
00:36:14.300 War II, who has
00:36:15.600 now passed away,
00:36:17.240 who in his final
00:36:18.500 years, I asked
00:36:20.580 him to really talk
00:36:22.900 about his war
00:36:23.500 experience, because
00:36:24.320 apparently he had
00:36:24.900 never had.
00:36:25.440 so even people
00:36:27.280 who had known
00:36:27.700 him all his
00:36:28.140 life, even
00:36:28.880 family members,
00:36:30.140 had never heard
00:36:30.800 him talk about
00:36:31.360 his World War II
00:36:32.100 experience, because
00:36:32.900 he saw a lot of
00:36:33.560 action.
00:36:34.860 So I asked him
00:36:35.800 about it, and I
00:36:37.100 asked this question.
00:36:38.960 I said, seriously,
00:36:41.160 in World War II,
00:36:42.380 he was actually in
00:36:43.340 Europe, moving
00:36:44.680 toward Germany, I
00:36:46.120 said, did they take
00:36:47.900 prisoners?
00:36:48.920 Like, really?
00:36:50.340 Because it would
00:36:50.920 seem like it would
00:36:51.440 be such a pain in
00:36:52.280 the ass to take a
00:36:53.060 prisoner if you're
00:36:54.440 trying to march
00:36:55.200 anywhere to attack
00:36:56.180 anything.
00:36:57.020 Like, the prisoners
00:36:57.740 would take too much
00:36:58.520 resources.
00:36:59.540 So, don't you just
00:37:00.420 sort of, didn't you
00:37:01.900 just sort of shoot
00:37:02.620 him in World War II?
00:37:04.920 And then, since
00:37:05.860 Hitler lost, all the
00:37:09.580 people who were
00:37:10.020 against Hitler just
00:37:10.960 don't tell that
00:37:12.060 story.
00:37:13.420 They just don't
00:37:14.400 mention that
00:37:15.160 basically captured
00:37:16.860 people were just
00:37:17.560 executed.
00:37:18.020 So that's what I
00:37:19.680 thought happened.
00:37:21.460 But here's what the
00:37:22.360 veteran told me.
00:37:23.620 He said, no, no, we
00:37:24.700 took prisoners.
00:37:26.620 And then he told me a
00:37:27.560 story about a Nazi
00:37:29.740 officer that they'd
00:37:30.900 captured, and how
00:37:32.540 after they disarmed
00:37:33.940 him, they had a
00:37:34.600 conversation with him,
00:37:35.800 and he asked for a
00:37:37.240 cigarette, and they
00:37:38.480 gave him a light, and
00:37:40.340 it was all just
00:37:40.940 professional.
00:37:43.540 And then I asked him
00:37:44.660 a few more questions,
00:37:46.480 and he got
00:37:46.840 comfortable.
00:37:48.020 And then he told
00:37:48.960 me about a
00:37:50.940 situation in which
00:37:51.920 they came upon a
00:37:54.440 lot of dead
00:37:54.980 Americans.
00:37:55.700 I won't give you
00:37:56.240 any more detail
00:37:56.860 than that.
00:37:58.000 But a lot of
00:37:58.640 Americans who had
00:37:59.580 been their own
00:38:00.380 prisoners that they
00:38:01.180 had machine-gunned.
00:38:03.100 So the Germans had
00:38:04.500 machine-gunned a
00:38:06.040 bunch of captured
00:38:06.880 prisoners.
00:38:07.320 prisoners, and the
00:38:10.340 veteran who's now
00:38:11.240 passed away, who was
00:38:12.640 telling me this, said
00:38:14.580 after that, after
00:38:17.260 they'd captured all
00:38:18.520 the Germans who were
00:38:19.440 involved in executing
00:38:21.680 them, he said to me,
00:38:24.780 that day, we didn't
00:38:26.640 take prisoners.
00:38:29.000 That's the most
00:38:29.860 chilling thing I've
00:38:30.920 ever heard in my
00:38:31.740 life.
00:38:32.960 He said, that day, we
00:38:34.420 didn't take prisoners.
00:38:35.240 Now, that's war.
00:38:38.920 That's what war is.
00:38:41.560 If you think that
00:38:43.040 there's ever been a
00:38:43.940 war that wasn't a
00:38:45.880 rolling war crime,
00:38:47.920 then I don't think you
00:38:49.320 know how anything
00:38:51.180 works in the real
00:38:52.780 world.
00:38:53.160 Not just that you
00:38:53.900 don't know how war
00:38:54.660 works, you don't know
00:38:56.280 how anything works.
00:38:57.180 I mean, most of
00:38:59.000 corporations in
00:39:00.180 corporate America are
00:39:01.240 rolling crime.
00:39:04.200 You just get used to
00:39:05.600 it.
00:39:06.580 They're either
00:39:07.460 monopolies or they're
00:39:10.860 suppressing business
00:39:12.080 somewhere.
00:39:13.320 I mean, basically, we
00:39:14.220 live in a world in
00:39:16.300 which every large
00:39:17.380 effort or organization
00:39:19.040 is largely or
00:39:22.140 completely corrupt.
00:39:24.100 It's just everything.
00:39:24.800 So you think that in
00:39:26.160 the time of war, it
00:39:27.960 doesn't immediately
00:39:28.840 become just a rolling
00:39:29.920 war crime?
00:39:30.660 Of course it does.
00:39:31.660 Every war, every
00:39:32.680 time.
00:39:33.460 There's no way that's
00:39:34.400 not going to happen.
00:39:36.100 So, you know,
00:39:38.000 talking about, Norm
00:39:41.640 says, when did you
00:39:42.620 become your own
00:39:43.460 enemy, Scott?
00:39:45.140 Hey, Norm, ask
00:39:47.060 better questions.
00:39:49.940 Did you see that?
00:39:51.440 Did you see how well
00:39:52.140 that worked?
00:39:54.320 That was a perfect
00:39:55.140 example.
00:39:56.800 Scott, when did you
00:39:57.860 become your own
00:39:58.560 worst enemy?
00:40:00.160 Norm, ask better
00:40:02.640 questions.
00:40:04.040 You can do it.
00:40:05.760 All right.
00:40:09.420 So, there's yet
00:40:11.500 another study that
00:40:12.460 says alcohol is bad
00:40:13.540 for you in every
00:40:14.300 quantity.
00:40:15.460 Now, this feels like
00:40:16.320 a repeat story because
00:40:17.680 it's not the first
00:40:18.360 time a new study came
00:40:19.400 out that said alcohol
00:40:20.700 is bad for you in any
00:40:21.860 quantity.
00:40:22.820 But I just add this to
00:40:24.020 the category of
00:40:25.980 science should have
00:40:27.840 asked me.
00:40:29.400 Should have asked me.
00:40:30.900 There are quite a few
00:40:31.660 things that apparently
00:40:33.600 I knew before science.
00:40:35.640 How did I know that
00:40:36.540 alcohol was bad at any
00:40:38.160 amount?
00:40:39.980 Because I just asked
00:40:40.980 myself, why doesn't
00:40:42.600 anybody tell me who
00:40:43.460 funded the story that
00:40:44.480 said it's good for you?
00:40:46.320 They always leave that
00:40:47.260 out.
00:40:48.360 So I knew it was
00:40:49.040 bullshit for 30 years.
00:40:50.360 But the rest of you
00:40:51.920 are catching up, I
00:40:52.560 guess.
00:40:55.280 Did you see the video
00:40:56.420 of Gavin Newsom trying
00:40:57.960 to play basketball in
00:40:59.060 China?
00:41:02.640 I've replayed it a
00:41:03.900 hundred times.
00:41:05.080 I can't stop looking at
00:41:06.600 it.
00:41:08.480 So here's the setup.
00:41:10.380 So Gavin Newsom is
00:41:12.100 sort of acting
00:41:12.700 presidential and he
00:41:13.980 visits China and he
00:41:15.180 talks to Xi and he's
00:41:17.740 doing some political
00:41:19.020 things and he ends up
00:41:22.020 on a basketball court
00:41:23.160 with it looked like
00:41:24.300 maybe nine-year-olds
00:41:25.660 or I'm going to say
00:41:26.720 ten or eleven-year-olds
00:41:28.820 maybe playing
00:41:31.040 basketball and he's in
00:41:32.940 his dress clothes with
00:41:34.120 his dress shoes and
00:41:35.920 he's going to, you
00:41:36.960 know, as a sort of a
00:41:38.020 something to create a
00:41:40.920 little news over there,
00:41:42.640 he's going to do a
00:41:44.000 little one-on-one with
00:41:45.140 the kids and, you
00:41:46.220 know, maybe join in
00:41:47.520 the game.
00:41:48.540 So he starts dribbling
00:41:49.960 the ball and because
00:41:51.420 his feet are slippery,
00:41:53.140 he plows into a kid and
00:41:55.380 just like demolishes the
00:41:56.820 kid and falls on top of
00:41:58.100 him.
00:42:00.980 Now, because Newsom goes
00:42:04.520 down like a pile of
00:42:06.180 sticks, I can't stop
00:42:08.880 looking at it because
00:42:09.600 nobody got hurt.
00:42:10.580 You know, the child was
00:42:11.560 fine.
00:42:12.120 You know, I wouldn't be
00:42:12.800 laughing if the child
00:42:13.600 was hurt and I
00:42:15.580 wouldn't be laughing if
00:42:17.440 he was hurt either, but
00:42:18.340 they didn't get hurt.
00:42:19.860 But it was the funniest
00:42:21.160 collision on camera
00:42:22.940 you've ever seen.
00:42:24.080 And then Gavin has to
00:42:26.520 think quickly to make
00:42:28.000 it not look ridiculous.
00:42:30.040 So he grabs the kid,
00:42:32.360 you know, and like rolls
00:42:33.160 him around a little bit
00:42:34.620 and then he spanks him
00:42:35.740 on his bottom, you
00:42:37.400 know, which I thought
00:42:38.620 was a little sus.
00:42:40.200 It wouldn't have been
00:42:41.020 how I would have gone.
00:42:41.780 I don't think I would
00:42:42.900 have held him and
00:42:43.820 spanked him, but that's
00:42:45.960 just me.
00:42:46.640 But he did it playfully
00:42:47.740 and he did it like, he
00:42:50.460 did it like a dad who's
00:42:52.660 actually raised children.
00:42:54.660 Right?
00:42:54.780 He didn't, no, he didn't
00:42:55.520 look like a pedo.
00:42:56.620 He looked like a dad who
00:42:58.600 knew he had a rough house
00:42:59.700 with boys.
00:43:01.100 So he sort of, sort of
00:43:03.860 recovered a little bit
00:43:05.080 because he made it a joke
00:43:07.040 about himself and, you
00:43:09.040 know, the kid was okay and
00:43:10.240 they had a good laugh about
00:43:11.260 it and it did get a lot
00:43:12.520 of attention, but it's
00:43:16.760 funny how that could go
00:43:17.980 so wrong.
00:43:18.580 The only thing I'll
00:43:19.380 remember about his trip
00:43:20.680 to China is how he almost
00:43:22.680 killed a Chinese child.
00:43:25.420 That's the only thing I'm
00:43:26.520 going to remember.
00:43:27.500 Now, here's your persuasion
00:43:29.620 tip again.
00:43:33.880 Visual beats everything
00:43:35.060 else.
00:43:35.440 So if there's a story
00:43:37.220 where, I don't know, maybe
00:43:38.880 there was, where Newsom
00:43:40.940 said some policy thing to
00:43:42.760 President Xi, I hope he
00:43:44.180 didn't, but if he did, I
00:43:46.680 don't know, I'm not going
00:43:47.500 to remember it.
00:43:49.300 You know, it was probably
00:43:49.900 some generic thing like,
00:43:51.500 we should work together to
00:43:52.860 make the world a better
00:43:53.660 place.
00:43:54.600 I'm not going to remember
00:43:55.500 that, but I'm going to
00:43:56.660 remember he almost killed a
00:43:57.620 Chinese kid on the
00:43:58.420 basketball court.
00:43:59.580 Um, I'm going to give
00:44:03.800 Marjorie Taylor Greene the
00:44:05.580 win for, she filed a
00:44:09.260 censure resolution against
00:44:11.040 Representative Rashida Tlaib
00:44:13.660 for inciting an
00:44:15.140 insurrection.
00:44:19.220 MTG for the win.
00:44:22.700 Now, but that's not the
00:44:25.040 funny part.
00:44:26.340 Now, obviously Rashida Tlaib
00:44:28.940 did not incite an
00:44:30.700 insurrection.
00:44:31.640 Can we say that as
00:44:32.900 clearly as possible?
00:44:34.260 Every one of us knows
00:44:35.740 that nobody believes, not
00:44:38.760 Marjorie Taylor Greene, not
00:44:40.280 anybody, nobody believes
00:44:42.440 that Tlaib incited an
00:44:45.020 insurrection.
00:44:46.420 She may have been part of
00:44:47.700 the inspiration or
00:44:48.860 participant for a
00:44:50.520 protest.
00:44:52.100 Just a protest.
00:44:54.040 But that's what most
00:44:55.540 people would say about
00:44:56.360 January 6th, unless they
00:44:57.780 were in the bag for the
00:44:59.460 Democrats.
00:45:00.120 They'd say, well, that was
00:45:00.800 a protest.
00:45:01.800 But of course, the
00:45:02.780 president at the time,
00:45:04.200 Trump, got impeached for
00:45:06.760 something they called an
00:45:07.720 insurrection.
00:45:10.400 So the funniest part is
00:45:12.020 Jake Tapper reacting with
00:45:14.760 very visible disgust that she
00:45:17.940 doesn't know the difference
00:45:19.240 between January 6th and this,
00:45:23.000 you know, little protest.
00:45:26.260 And he's like, my God, how
00:45:29.040 could she be so terrible and
00:45:30.640 dumb and stupid and
00:45:32.420 political?
00:45:33.920 No, he didn't say those
00:45:35.000 exact words, but it came off
00:45:36.340 like that.
00:45:37.340 And I thought to myself, does
00:45:39.560 he not know this is a prank?
00:45:42.140 He was treating it like it was
00:45:43.500 news.
00:45:45.440 Seriously?
00:45:46.600 He really didn't know?
00:45:48.380 He didn't know that that was
00:45:49.520 just to make him do what he did?
00:45:51.120 She wanted him to go on
00:45:53.240 television and explain how
00:45:54.700 one was an insurrection, but
00:45:56.100 the other one wasn't.
00:45:57.600 And she got it.
00:45:59.160 She got CNN to argue about
00:46:02.600 one of them being an
00:46:03.520 insurrection and the other
00:46:04.500 one not.
00:46:05.600 So that the rest of the world
00:46:07.120 could say, you know what?
00:46:09.060 They kind of look in many
00:46:11.280 ways, but not every way
00:46:13.660 similar.
00:46:15.880 And Jake Tapper would say,
00:46:17.560 but one was intended to
00:46:18.960 overthrow the United States.
00:46:21.620 No, it wasn't.
00:46:23.720 No, it wasn't.
00:46:24.820 That's just something CNN
00:46:25.820 reported.
00:46:27.180 There was nobody in the
00:46:28.300 crowd.
00:46:28.880 Well, let me take it back.
00:46:30.460 There were probably a handful
00:46:31.380 of people who thought,
00:46:32.200 maybe this will lead to a
00:46:33.420 revolution or something.
00:46:35.180 But most of the people just
00:46:36.520 wanted to delay the count to
00:46:37.900 make sure it had been
00:46:38.460 counted correctly, which is
00:46:40.160 something Democrats will
00:46:41.320 never hear.
00:46:43.100 By the way, Democrats don't
00:46:44.200 even know that.
00:46:45.340 Did you know that?
00:46:46.000 Ask a Democrat if the
00:46:49.140 intention was to delay the
00:46:51.240 certification just so they
00:46:53.460 had, I don't know, 48 hours
00:46:54.700 or whatever it was to check
00:46:56.260 something they thought needed
00:46:57.240 to be checked.
00:46:58.620 That's it.
00:46:59.600 It was just a specific delay
00:47:01.960 to do a specific thing to
00:47:04.780 make sure that the outcome was
00:47:06.140 the correct outcome.
00:47:06.940 Now, how is that different
00:47:09.980 in badness than a bunch of
00:47:13.860 people trespassing in a
00:47:15.660 public building and
00:47:16.820 complaining about policy?
00:47:19.940 They're kind of the same.
00:47:22.040 They are kind of the same.
00:47:23.140 And that, of course, is
00:47:24.060 Marjorie Taylor Greene's
00:47:25.520 point, I assume.
00:47:27.680 So I've never seen a more
00:47:29.800 complete win than what MTG got
00:47:32.880 by Tapper's reaction there.
00:47:34.720 All right, I feel like this
00:47:37.600 is just old news, but do you
00:47:40.920 all know that there's no
00:47:43.640 question that the Biden crime
00:47:46.600 family was taking money for
00:47:49.120 influence, including when Joe
00:47:51.120 Biden was vice president?
00:47:53.460 Do I have to go over, you
00:47:55.720 know, the newest explanation of
00:47:58.820 how it's all documented, it's in
00:48:00.640 the emails, he's admitted it in
00:48:03.220 emails, and he gives his money to
00:48:04.700 Joe.
00:48:08.240 And now there's that $200,000
00:48:10.220 payment, which I think was
00:48:11.700 shown as a loan repayment, but
00:48:14.480 there's nothing in the banking
00:48:15.540 records to suggest there was a
00:48:17.160 loan in the first place, but
00:48:19.800 there was a loan repayment.
00:48:22.780 Yeah.
00:48:23.400 Do you know why it was a loan
00:48:24.720 repayment?
00:48:26.240 Because that would be
00:48:27.340 non-taxable, right?
00:48:29.120 If you're just paying back the
00:48:30.240 principle of a loan, it's a
00:48:33.520 non-taxable event.
00:48:35.220 Yeah.
00:48:35.560 So it's just basically a way to
00:48:36.900 cheat on your taxes.
00:48:39.520 So other people would go to jail
00:48:43.360 for that.
00:48:45.840 If you gave somebody $200,000 because
00:48:48.420 you sold some influence, and you
00:48:51.540 told them to mark it down when they
00:48:54.180 received it as loan repayment, but you
00:48:57.200 knew it was not a loan repayment, you
00:48:59.660 go to jail for that.
00:49:01.700 Don't you?
00:49:03.080 I mean, I think that's not even a
00:49:04.660 fine.
00:49:05.920 I think that's not one of those where,
00:49:08.200 oh, you interpreted the IRS
00:49:10.120 differently, so we'll give you a
00:49:11.600 penalty, but we're good after that.
00:49:13.940 That's not that.
00:49:15.540 If you intentionally call it a loan,
00:49:17.880 because that's the way to avoid paying
00:49:19.640 taxes, and you're a sophisticated player,
00:49:22.940 so you know exactly what you're doing,
00:49:24.900 as the Bidens are, that's just a
00:49:27.340 flat-out crime.
00:49:28.640 It's a felony, isn't it?
00:49:31.820 Wouldn't it be above the dollar amount
00:49:33.540 for a felony?
00:49:35.220 Am I wrong about that?
00:49:36.920 It doesn't matter that it's a tax-related
00:49:38.680 thing.
00:49:39.020 It's still a felony, right?
00:49:40.480 Because it's above the, I don't know,
00:49:41.780 $5,000 or whatever.
00:49:44.120 All right.
00:49:44.620 I think it's a felony.
00:49:45.960 It's a felony that's well-documented.
00:49:49.800 Now, if this were Trump, you don't think
00:49:51.980 he'd be indicted for this already?
00:49:54.760 How hard would it be to get an
00:49:56.340 indictment if you showed that somebody
00:49:58.620 paid $200,000 to somebody, there was a
00:50:01.800 trail in email saying that he gives half
00:50:05.280 of his money to his father and he's mad
00:50:06.960 about it.
00:50:08.060 You know that he's selling influence.
00:50:09.900 They all admit that.
00:50:10.820 That's not in question.
00:50:11.840 And you know that the $200,000 was
00:50:14.700 paid, but there's no record that a loan
00:50:17.660 was ever part of it.
00:50:20.080 You don't think that would be enough to
00:50:21.360 indict Trump?
00:50:23.900 Now, first they would ask, maybe before
00:50:27.140 they even took it to a grand jury,
00:50:29.200 first they would ask, can you show that
00:50:32.320 there was a loan?
00:50:33.760 Because if you can show there was a
00:50:35.360 loan, oh, then there's nothing to talk
00:50:37.540 about.
00:50:38.360 Do you think they could?
00:50:40.040 I don't think so.
00:50:41.000 I think if they said, can you prove
00:50:43.720 there was a loan?
00:50:45.060 Remember, Comer, the Republican, has
00:50:48.320 their bank records.
00:50:50.620 So if it's not in the bank records going
00:50:52.900 back X number of years, was it ever
00:50:56.040 there?
00:50:57.020 So certainly Trump would have been
00:50:58.680 indicted.
00:50:59.640 And if he could produce evidence that
00:51:01.440 had been a loan, then the process would
00:51:03.680 probably stop.
00:51:05.760 But it wouldn't stop him from getting
00:51:07.260 indicted with it.
00:51:10.620 So the two-tiered justice system
00:51:13.100 is in effect.
00:51:16.900 And what do they say about Trump?
00:51:18.500 If you're a Democrat, he's not above the
00:51:20.680 law.
00:51:21.880 They say Trump is not above the law.
00:51:25.240 Now, if you believe that they accuse you
00:51:27.840 of everything they're doing,
00:51:30.480 wouldn't it suggest that they think they're
00:51:32.640 above the law?
00:51:33.480 Well, they are, and they act like it.
00:51:36.200 All right.
00:51:39.020 You know, there's this story about this
00:51:41.980 Francis Fukuyama in the Stanford
00:51:45.140 censorship group.
00:51:48.860 There's some kind of Stanford censorship
00:51:50.120 thing.
00:51:51.520 And Mike Benz is talking about him.
00:51:53.800 But the part of this story that just
00:51:56.580 is just amazing, it's just jaw-dropping,
00:52:00.140 is not that the United States have these
00:52:02.960 fact-checkers and disinformation people.
00:52:05.840 We know that.
00:52:06.660 But that they said out loud, quote,
00:52:10.240 I think in one of his speeches,
00:52:12.020 this Francis Fukuyama may have said,
00:52:15.380 one of the chief threats to contemporary
00:52:17.020 democracy is basically misinformation.
00:52:22.820 And they blamed it for the rise of
00:52:24.540 Donald Trump.
00:52:25.220 Do you think that misinformation is the
00:52:29.500 reason that Trump became president?
00:52:32.180 Well, yes, it is.
00:52:34.780 It was their misinformation.
00:52:37.440 It was because when he called out fake news,
00:52:40.180 he was right about it.
00:52:42.000 That was the problem.
00:52:44.020 So it's kind of amazing.
00:52:46.160 And I wonder if people like Francis Fukuyama,
00:52:49.260 do you think that they're aware?
00:52:50.580 Do you think that he's aware that what he's
00:52:55.880 really doing is trying to stop real
00:52:57.520 information so that their own fake
00:53:00.100 information can rule the day?
00:53:02.280 Do you think he knows it?
00:53:03.660 Or do you think he is part of the mass
00:53:05.220 hysteria that Trump is bad and that sort
00:53:10.360 of drives every other impression you have?
00:53:14.040 To me, I'm going to say mass hysteria.
00:53:16.920 Because it seems like something you wouldn't
00:53:18.940 say out loud if you were self-aware.
00:53:21.180 If you were aware that it was just an op
00:53:23.360 and you were just trying to suppress the
00:53:25.100 other team, I don't know if you'd word it
00:53:27.280 this way.
00:53:29.140 I mean, just the wording suggests he
00:53:31.040 actually is in some kind of mass hysteria.
00:53:34.880 Anyway.
00:53:37.800 Speaking of mass hysterias, Goldie Hawn has
00:53:40.740 announced that when she was 20 years old,
00:53:43.720 an alien, some of the three extraterrestrials,
00:53:47.380 approached her when she was in her car and
00:53:50.300 she interacted with them and one of them
00:53:51.860 touched her face.
00:53:54.140 So her face was touched by an alien.
00:53:58.280 You know, if I were a bad person,
00:54:00.620 I would make a joke right now.
00:54:05.680 But I'm going to have to do an impression
00:54:08.180 of a bad person so you don't blame me.
00:54:10.260 So I'm going to have Dale read this same
00:54:14.580 story.
00:54:15.940 But Dale's kind of a jerk.
00:54:18.540 Like, kind of a jerk.
00:54:22.080 Here's how he'd read it.
00:54:23.800 Oh, I don't have my Dale.
00:54:25.180 I can't do it.
00:54:27.200 Here we go.
00:54:30.540 Well, there's a story about Goldie Hawn.
00:54:33.300 She said when she was 20 years old,
00:54:35.180 an alien once touched her face.
00:54:36.700 I guess that's what happened.
00:54:43.260 Dale, you freaking asshole.
00:54:45.840 Don't make fun of people.
00:54:47.920 All right.
00:54:49.160 Mark Benioff, who you might know as the
00:54:52.320 founder and multi-billionaire
00:54:54.740 who founded Salesforce and his big
00:54:58.380 headquarters in San Francisco.
00:55:00.720 And he's probably not feeling too happy
00:55:02.700 that he put his big headquarters in San
00:55:04.460 Francisco because it turned into a toilet.
00:55:06.140 But today he wrote a very long piece on
00:55:10.300 the X platform about the need to refund
00:55:13.180 the police, not defund them, refund them.
00:55:17.140 And I wonder, do you think that Benioff,
00:55:20.580 who has been, you know, very active, I
00:55:23.140 think, funding and, you know, being
00:55:25.560 pro-Democrat, do you think he knows he
00:55:31.160 funded the wrong team?
00:55:32.280 Now, he might hate Republicans even more, so
00:55:36.400 maybe it seems like the right team.
00:55:38.520 But I've said before, I spent, I don't know,
00:55:42.060 20 minutes or so talking to Mark Benioff once
00:55:44.840 before an event.
00:55:46.380 And I found him one of the most genuine
00:55:48.760 and interesting people you'll ever meet in your life.
00:55:52.280 You know, when he talks about their company gives, you
00:55:55.980 know, a percentage of their income to, you know, good
00:56:00.080 causes and stuff.
00:56:01.900 What I observed was the real thing.
00:56:04.840 He genuinely is active and cares about making the world
00:56:09.780 better with his money and with your money and the
00:56:13.120 company's money.
00:56:14.320 You know, he's very much about sharing and making
00:56:17.600 everybody better off.
00:56:18.680 So he's a good person.
00:56:20.400 But he's got to know that he funded some bad people
00:56:25.620 and he got a really bad outcome.
00:56:28.120 And I just wonder, how much does that change your
00:56:30.780 future activities?
00:56:33.840 Do you think he'll give as much to the Democrats as he
00:56:37.420 has before?
00:56:37.920 Or could you imagine that he would fund, could you
00:56:44.460 imagine, oh, I can imagine this.
00:56:46.380 I could imagine somebody like Benioff because, again,
00:56:50.420 real smart, very effective, capable, you know, like a
00:56:55.220 real guy, somebody you would like.
00:57:00.260 Could you imagine that he would fund Republicans for the
00:57:04.560 local offices and Democrats for national office?
00:57:08.920 I could see that.
00:57:11.120 Oh, I could see that.
00:57:12.360 Because obviously Democrats are not good on crime.
00:57:16.260 So if he could find a Republican who would fix crime in
00:57:19.700 his city, but he had a president who gave him what he
00:57:23.020 wanted, let's say with health care, et cetera, that would
00:57:25.980 still be a pretty good outcome, I would think.
00:57:28.440 But it just makes me wonder, what kind of outcome makes
00:57:32.420 you change what you were doing?
00:57:34.420 Do you think this is enough, that the city is destroyed and the
00:57:39.440 other major cities are destroyed?
00:57:41.380 Is that enough to make you change your activities?
00:57:46.380 Most people are saying no, and I agree with you.
00:57:48.500 But that would be for regular people.
00:57:53.100 For regular people, they just keep doing what they're doing no
00:57:56.320 matter whether it works or not.
00:57:57.900 But I think Mark Benioff is not like regular people.
00:58:01.540 So you might be surprised.
00:58:03.500 He might surprise you with something that's not just team play,
00:58:08.460 because he knows what works and what doesn't.
00:58:10.880 And he's not shy.
00:58:11.820 So you might see some movement there that could be interesting.
00:58:17.620 All right.
00:58:18.940 I would like to, since I just have another minute here,
00:58:24.920 I thought I'd do one thing.
00:58:26.840 Yeah, we've got two minutes.
00:58:28.240 Would it be OK if I use the following two minutes to solve the
00:58:32.760 mystery of gravity, what gravity is?
00:58:35.860 Because Einstein, he was a little confused.
00:58:38.260 And the physicists are working on the string theory.
00:58:41.820 And I don't know.
00:58:42.920 I just thought I'd solve that for you before I go.
00:58:46.560 All right.
00:58:47.280 Here's what I think.
00:58:49.540 Number one, I think that this thing we experience as gravity,
00:58:52.680 as reality, has a pulse.
00:58:57.540 That is to say that I believe everything disappears
00:59:00.500 and then reappears like a pulse.
00:59:04.700 Go on, back, go on, back.
00:59:06.880 Now, at the quantum world, we know that that happens.
00:59:10.140 You know, quantum things pop in and out of existence.
00:59:12.820 But I'm suggesting that everything pops in and out of existence.
00:59:16.280 When it's gone, you don't note it because you're gone.
00:59:21.340 When it's here, you note it.
00:59:24.520 And the reason I say that it pulses
00:59:26.280 is that it seems absurd to imagine
00:59:29.760 that time is a smooth, consistent thing
00:59:34.200 because it would mean that we would at some point
00:59:36.840 occupy every space,
00:59:39.220 an infinite number of spaces between any two destinations.
00:59:43.480 So there's an absurdity
00:59:44.960 to imagine that everything's connected smoothly.
00:59:48.800 But there's no absurdity.
00:59:50.460 I don't know the mechanism for it.
00:59:52.320 But there's no absurdity
00:59:53.380 to imagining that we're blinking in and out of existence.
00:59:56.700 Now, when you blink back into existence,
01:00:00.040 I hypothesize,
01:00:01.640 you blink back into the probable place that you would be.
01:00:06.360 So when you come back into existence,
01:00:08.260 it's not the same place.
01:00:09.740 It's the next position.
01:00:11.960 Right?
01:00:12.880 Very much like if you've seen a flip book for comics,
01:00:17.480 where you draw a little comic on a bunch of pieces of paper,
01:00:20.860 and you flip through them quickly,
01:00:22.200 and it looks like they're moving.
01:00:24.820 So imagine that when you pop back into existence,
01:00:27.720 you're just a little bit moved.
01:00:29.780 But the determination of where you've moved to
01:00:33.340 is based on probability alone.
01:00:37.140 Just probability.
01:00:38.720 So if there was as much probability
01:00:40.360 that your hand would go from here to here
01:00:42.960 as it was that you would burst into flames,
01:00:48.480 then sometimes you would burst into flames.
01:00:50.420 But that doesn't happen.
01:00:52.200 So there's some things that are clearly
01:00:53.980 more likely than other things.
01:00:56.700 And you're more likely to reappear
01:00:58.700 into that more likely thing.
01:01:00.240 So here's where gravity is.
01:01:03.420 Gravity is that around things that we,
01:01:07.120 in this reality, it looks like they're dense,
01:01:09.760 is really where there's the most probability.
01:01:13.360 In other words, there are more possibilities
01:01:15.560 that the next time you pop into existence,
01:01:18.040 you're going to pop into an existence
01:01:20.180 that's closer to the sun.
01:01:22.200 Because there are simply more places there.
01:01:27.700 There are fewer places behind you.
01:01:30.480 There are places, and it's possible.
01:01:33.120 So at any moment, you might be slightly further from the sun.
01:01:36.560 But you wouldn't notice it,
01:01:37.720 because the very next moment,
01:01:38.760 you'd pop out of existence,
01:01:40.000 and the probability would kick in.
01:01:42.380 And you're probably going to pop in closer to the sun.
01:01:46.020 As you get closer and closer to the sun,
01:01:48.660 the probability is even thicker,
01:01:51.060 that in front of you,
01:01:52.840 it's more likely you'll pop into existence than behind you.
01:01:55.520 And so that thing that Einstein describes as bent to space
01:02:01.780 is nothing but going from thin probability fields
01:02:06.020 to thicker ones.
01:02:07.940 And your impression is of gravity.
01:02:10.460 Or when you do it mathematically,
01:02:12.180 it looks like it's bent to space.
01:02:13.860 But all it is is pulsing out of existence and into existence
01:02:17.620 in the most likely place, statistically,
01:02:21.520 that you're likely to reappear.
01:02:23.220 And that, ladies and gentlemen,
01:02:25.100 solves all the problems of physics.
01:02:26.840 I will be expecting the Nobel Prize in both physics and peace
01:02:31.500 for all of my good work.
01:02:34.400 I'm wondering if maybe this time it'd be easier
01:02:37.520 if anybody from the Nobel Committee is listening.
01:02:41.320 Could you just combine those two?
01:02:43.920 Because I don't want to make two trips.
01:02:47.240 You know, do you have to go to, like, Stockholm or something?
01:02:50.280 Like, I want to go to Stockholm twice.
01:02:52.680 Once would be plenty.
01:02:54.520 So if you could,
01:02:56.520 and I'm not saying that you're considering me for both.
01:02:59.960 I'm not saying.
01:03:00.560 But if you did, which would be totally wise,
01:03:03.800 you should combine them into something called science peace.
01:03:08.640 So it'd be like the Nobel Science Peace Award.
01:03:12.640 Something like that.
01:03:13.820 So I'll take it.
01:03:16.700 All right.
01:03:17.800 And that, ladies and gentlemen,
01:03:19.200 is the end of the most informative live stream
01:03:25.460 you've ever seen in your life.
01:03:26.840 Possibly the best experience you've ever had.
01:03:28.800 We need that religious summit.
01:03:32.660 Get those religious people to tell us
01:03:35.160 what does God really mean
01:03:37.180 so we know whose team to be on.
01:03:39.840 Let's get that going.
01:03:41.360 All right.
01:03:41.900 YouTube, I'm going to say bye for now
01:03:43.340 and go talk to the locals people
01:03:44.720 because they're awesome.
01:03:46.940 But you're a little bit awesome, too.
01:03:48.320 Do you think we can raise these guys who跡평
01:04:08.560 and love you?
01:04:10.640 We'll be right back to them.
01:04:10.940 See you next time.
