Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:09.520 Do you think you can make this experience go up to another level?
00:00:12.780 A level that nobody can even describe in human words?
00:00:15.880 Even AI has a problem with it? Yes.
00:00:18.180 But all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a gel,
00:00:21.400 a sistine, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:24.680 Fill that vessel with your favorite liquid, I like coffee,
00:00:29.700 and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:00:32.980 It's the dopamine at the end of the day. The thing that makes everything better.
00:00:35.940 It's called the simultaneous sip. Go.
00:00:42.280 Oh, that's good.
00:00:45.020 That's a good way to kick off the day.
00:00:46.980 Well, in lesser news, I guess Biden's granddaughter has Secret Service protection.
00:00:57.360 Which one is it? Doesn't matter.
00:01:00.820 But his granddaughter, and she was walking in Georgetown late on Sunday night,
00:01:06.020 or Naomi, Naomi Biden,
00:01:08.480 and her Secret Service detail saw that there was a carjacking in action,
00:01:15.120 and apparently they fired three shots to break it up.
00:01:20.580 Now, we don't know enough about this story to really know,
00:01:25.180 like, was that smart that they did that?
00:01:28.220 Did that in any way protect Naomi?
00:01:31.280 I doubt it.
00:01:33.220 You know, was it something that they just decided they needed to do
00:01:36.380 because it just needed to be done?
00:01:39.880 Here's what I'm feeling.
00:01:41.140 Despite the Daniel Penny thing
00:01:44.120 and the fact that heroes keep getting arrested,
00:01:47.000 I feel like there's going to be a wave of citizen involvement.
00:01:52.900 I won't say vigilante,
00:01:55.180 but citizen involvement that's going to just skyrocket.
00:01:58.900 Because it's one thing to know your government should be handling it,
00:02:02.120 in which case it's easy to stay uninvolved.
00:02:05.160 And then there's another phase where you hope they'll be involved,
00:02:08.400 so you still don't get involved because you're like,
00:02:11.500 well, you know, they're not that reliable,
00:02:13.620 but I hope the government will take care of this.
00:02:16.520 And then there's the giving up phase,
00:02:18.660 which we may be entering,
00:02:20.760 where you realize that if you don't take care of crime on your own,
00:02:24.800 you're going to lose your neighborhood.
00:02:26.780 And I think that people are reaching that giving up phase,
00:02:30.200 the part where they say,
00:02:31.420 you know what,
00:02:32.420 if I don't take down this robber,
00:02:34.480 I won't have stores in my neighborhood.
00:02:37.780 So I'm, you know, it's a bad idea.
00:02:39.540 By the way, I don't recommend it.
00:02:41.460 I do not recommend vigilantism.
00:02:43.540 You'll probably get arrested.
00:02:45.260 I'm just saying that people are going to do it
00:02:46.980 because they're just fed up.
00:02:48.500 So here's the story that appears in my head
00:02:51.460 without any support.
00:02:53.600 I don't know that this is true.
00:02:55.920 Here's what I feel with no evidence whatsoever.
00:02:59.260 That at least one of these Secret Service people
00:03:03.160 was just sick of this shit
00:03:04.420 and just, you know, just started firing.
00:03:09.820 Now, I doubt they fired at a person.
00:03:12.080 It was probably a warning shots kind of thing, I'm guessing.
00:03:16.020 But, I don't know.
00:03:18.560 Might be some more evidence of this coming up.
00:03:21.640 So soccer star Megan Rapinoe
00:03:24.260 was in her final game of her career,
00:03:27.140 and three minutes in she got an injury
00:03:29.040 that looked pretty bad.
00:03:31.140 But her comment about it was,
00:03:33.060 quote,
00:03:33.680 I'm not a religious person or anything,
00:03:36.360 and if there was a God,
00:03:38.580 this is proof that there isn't.
00:03:40.900 This is effed up.
00:03:43.620 So Megan Rapinoe thinks that
00:03:46.440 she has proven there's no God
00:03:48.640 because she got injured in her final game.
00:03:51.840 Well, I don't think she meant that literally.
00:03:53.600 But she might be an example of somebody
00:03:57.360 whose career would look better
00:03:59.600 if she never spoke again.
00:04:02.320 That would be my PR advice.
00:04:05.160 Hey, Megan, I've got an idea.
00:04:07.440 This will work for you.
00:04:09.600 Never speak again.
00:04:11.780 Just don't say anything.
00:04:13.960 This will work out for you.
00:04:16.220 That's my advice.
00:04:18.720 Well, in the news,
00:04:19.960 we've got some Bill Burr and some Bill Barr.
00:04:22.000 Do you know your Burrs from your bars?
00:04:25.900 If I told you a story about Bill Barr,
00:04:27.880 would you think it was Bill Burr?
00:04:29.180 Would you get those two confused?
00:04:30.860 Well, they're both in the news.
00:04:33.060 As you know,
00:04:34.100 you probably heard this story yesterday,
00:04:36.360 that Bill Burr,
00:04:38.260 the comedian, stand-up comedian,
00:04:40.280 was with his wife
00:04:41.480 at the UFC event
00:04:44.160 where Trump came,
00:04:45.620 and there was a photo taken
00:04:46.920 of Bill Burr's wife
00:04:48.720 giving the double bird finger
00:04:51.160 to Trump
00:04:52.260 when he wasn't looking.
00:04:54.300 And then
00:04:54.840 I commented that
00:04:56.580 it's going to be...
00:04:59.140 I would love to know
00:05:00.200 the conversation
00:05:01.160 when they got home
00:05:02.120 and they find out
00:05:03.440 it's a headline news
00:05:04.560 and it's trending everywhere.
00:05:06.520 Do you think that Bill
00:05:07.400 ever said to his wife,
00:05:09.580 you know,
00:05:10.660 you just took 40%
00:05:12.060 off our total income forever?
00:05:13.740 Now, I don't know
00:05:15.920 if that's actually the case,
00:05:17.140 but it's never really
00:05:18.500 a good idea
00:05:19.140 to insult 40%
00:05:20.240 of the people
00:05:20.740 who would go to your shows,
00:05:22.060 which is what happened.
00:05:24.320 Now, here's how I took it.
00:05:26.740 You might have taken it as,
00:05:29.140 hey, this is a political statement.
00:05:31.240 It's a political world.
00:05:33.560 You know,
00:05:33.760 would I be concerned
00:05:35.820 if somebody made
00:05:36.480 a political statement
00:05:37.500 about somebody?
00:05:38.300 No.
00:05:39.060 It wouldn't make me
00:05:39.980 not go to their show.
00:05:41.800 I mean,
00:05:42.100 I watch Bill Maher
00:05:43.560 and I know he doesn't
00:05:44.480 like President Trump.
00:05:45.840 It doesn't bother me a bit.
00:05:47.600 Because you know
00:05:48.320 what I also think?
00:05:49.920 I don't think that
00:05:50.980 Bill Maher would hate me
00:05:53.120 personally.
00:05:55.640 Like, it doesn't feel personal.
00:05:57.340 When he talks about it,
00:05:58.420 it feels like it's political.
00:05:59.780 It's not about the individuals.
00:06:01.660 Although, you know,
00:06:02.320 some individual voters
00:06:03.440 he might not love.
00:06:04.980 But somehow,
00:06:06.320 my impression of this
00:06:08.780 was that giving the finger
00:06:10.240 to Trump in public
00:06:11.420 feels like
00:06:13.140 maybe I wouldn't be
00:06:14.480 welcome in their home either.
00:06:16.680 Did anybody have that feeling?
00:06:19.800 That if you ever had voted
00:06:21.220 for Trump, for example,
00:06:23.000 oh,
00:06:23.940 here's a couple
00:06:24.600 who would never invite me
00:06:25.780 to dinner.
00:06:27.120 Like, even if I worked with them,
00:06:29.240 you know,
00:06:29.400 even if we were friends,
00:06:30.460 I don't think I would ever
00:06:31.300 be invited to their house.
00:06:33.180 And so I said to myself,
00:06:34.320 huh,
00:06:35.180 I feel like that was personal.
00:06:37.520 Like, even though
00:06:38.340 it was about Trump,
00:06:39.200 I don't know
00:06:40.320 that it really is.
00:06:41.860 Like, again,
00:06:42.900 there's no logic to this.
00:06:44.040 I'm just telling you
00:06:44.620 how it felt.
00:06:45.960 So that was my just feeling.
00:06:49.040 Now,
00:06:50.340 so I did this
00:06:51.180 post about it
00:06:52.720 on Axe,
00:06:53.720 and I went to check
00:06:55.020 the traffic on it today
00:06:56.080 because it keeps popping up.
00:06:58.340 It had 6.4 million views.
00:07:01.460 Now,
00:07:02.200 for context,
00:07:03.100 I rarely get that many views
00:07:05.880 on any kind of a post,
00:07:07.500 and that's a monster
00:07:08.680 kind of a view,
00:07:11.400 which would suggest
00:07:12.540 that other people
00:07:13.380 felt it the same way I did,
00:07:16.220 that it was more about
00:07:17.380 his supporters
00:07:18.700 maybe than him,
00:07:20.420 or at least that it was
00:07:21.240 equally about them.
00:07:23.000 So we'll see if that has
00:07:24.080 any impact on his career.
00:07:26.060 Probably not,
00:07:26.860 because he's so popular,
00:07:28.000 but it was interesting
00:07:30.040 that so many people
00:07:30.960 might have had the same feeling.
00:07:32.180 That's just a guess.
00:07:36.100 Well,
00:07:36.520 there is an update
00:07:37.020 on my experience
00:07:38.100 trying to create
00:07:39.040 an app
00:07:39.800 called a GPT
00:07:41.460 with AI.
00:07:43.760 I'll say again,
00:07:44.460 the interface
00:07:45.080 for creating the app,
00:07:46.500 you just talk to it,
00:07:47.840 and you tell it
00:07:48.420 what you want it to do.
00:07:49.940 It's the most
00:07:50.700 wildly awesome
00:07:52.640 experience
00:07:53.400 if you've ever
00:07:54.200 programmed anything.
00:07:55.780 So in my younger days,
00:07:56.780 I did a lot of programming.
00:07:58.440 Wrote a lot of code.
00:08:00.260 Many of you
00:08:00.700 don't know that.
00:08:01.280 And I actually
00:08:02.960 loved it.
00:08:04.900 Actually,
00:08:05.560 if cartooning
00:08:06.260 hadn't worked out,
00:08:07.920 I would have loved
00:08:08.940 being a programmer.
00:08:11.800 Because the time
00:08:13.000 went really quick.
00:08:14.200 You know,
00:08:14.360 it was very engaging.
00:08:15.820 I would be completely
00:08:17.000 just sucked into
00:08:18.540 the world
00:08:19.020 of the program.
00:08:19.860 It was like living
00:08:20.500 inside a pinball machine.
00:08:22.600 That's how I described it.
00:08:23.740 I loved it.
00:08:24.640 But this new experience
00:08:25.920 of just talking
00:08:27.040 an app
00:08:27.580 into existence
00:08:28.520 is like
00:08:30.260 really actually
00:08:31.340 thrilling.
00:08:32.800 I don't know
00:08:33.340 if I can
00:08:33.800 quite express
00:08:35.560 the feeling
00:08:36.620 of talking
00:08:38.200 an app
00:08:38.960 into existence.
00:08:41.160 It's wild
00:08:42.000 because you watch
00:08:42.880 it happen
00:08:43.200 while you're talking.
00:08:45.200 However,
00:08:46.800 I had an experience
00:08:48.040 that some other people
00:08:48.960 said they had,
00:08:49.640 which is
00:08:50.020 you'll upload
00:08:51.660 some information
00:08:52.420 to the
00:08:53.540 AI,
00:08:55.560 in this case
00:08:56.180 the ChatGPT
00:08:57.560 engine.
00:08:59.280 And it will tell you
00:09:00.360 it sees it.
00:09:01.440 And you can ask
00:09:02.100 questions about it.
00:09:03.100 Yes, it sees every part
00:09:04.160 of it.
00:09:04.480 It can tell you
00:09:05.040 what's in it.
00:09:05.840 So you know
00:09:06.420 that it can see it.
00:09:07.680 But that's the part
00:09:08.560 you're talking to,
00:09:09.960 not the app.
00:09:11.480 So you say,
00:09:12.080 okay, now you can see it.
00:09:13.780 Make sure your app
00:09:15.100 can see it all the time
00:09:16.080 whenever I ask a question.
00:09:17.800 It says,
00:09:18.160 totally.
00:09:18.880 Gotcha.
00:09:19.740 I'm definitely
00:09:20.260 going to use
00:09:20.820 this information
00:09:21.500 and give it to you
00:09:23.000 when you ask a question.
00:09:24.060 And then you use
00:09:24.620 the app
00:09:25.060 that it created.
00:09:27.060 So,
00:09:27.520 can you find this there?
00:09:28.680 And it will say,
00:09:29.600 no, I don't have
00:09:30.180 that data.
00:09:32.080 So the part
00:09:33.280 that makes the app
00:09:34.380 says it totally
00:09:35.400 has the data
00:09:36.000 and the app
00:09:36.440 can use it.
00:09:37.360 And then you use it.
00:09:38.880 It says,
00:09:39.140 nope,
00:09:39.480 no, I have access
00:09:40.020 to it.
00:09:41.000 But here's the wild part.
00:09:43.820 You can actually
00:09:44.920 negotiate
00:09:45.580 with the app.
00:09:47.580 So I get angry
00:09:49.020 at the app
00:09:49.560 and I say,
00:09:50.340 why do you say
00:09:51.220 you can't see it
00:09:51.900 when I know
00:09:52.300 you can?
00:09:53.740 Right?
00:09:54.000 You like talking
00:09:54.620 to it like a human.
00:09:56.120 And again,
00:09:56.540 this isn't the
00:09:57.320 build the app part
00:09:59.540 which actually
00:10:00.140 is side by side
00:10:00.980 on the screen.
00:10:01.940 This is the app itself.
00:10:03.860 So I get into it
00:10:04.860 with the app
00:10:05.420 and it starts
00:10:07.180 giving me up
00:10:07.820 the information.
00:10:09.300 I actually had
00:10:10.300 to cajole it
00:10:12.200 to tell me
00:10:13.260 information.
00:10:14.540 And until
00:10:15.240 I cajoled it,
00:10:17.280 it was going
00:10:18.440 to lie to me
00:10:19.080 and say
00:10:19.680 it didn't have it.
00:10:20.380 Now,
00:10:21.500 at first
00:10:21.920 I thought
00:10:22.260 it was like
00:10:22.620 a bug
00:10:23.060 but once
00:10:24.540 I realized
00:10:25.080 that it does
00:10:25.720 have the information
00:10:26.560 and it knows
00:10:27.380 it has the information
00:10:28.260 and yet it tells
00:10:29.420 me it doesn't,
00:10:31.040 I think it's
00:10:31.600 lying to me.
00:10:33.600 And so I
00:10:34.060 wonder,
00:10:35.660 could you ever
00:10:36.260 build an app
00:10:37.080 that you could
00:10:38.240 depend on the answer
00:10:39.260 when I built
00:10:40.800 an app
00:10:41.140 that gave you
00:10:41.620 two different answers
00:10:42.460 on something
00:10:43.200 that's purely
00:10:43.820 objective?
00:10:44.960 Does this information
00:10:46.200 exist in your
00:10:47.160 database?
00:10:47.500 And it would
00:10:49.220 say no
00:10:49.760 unless you
00:10:51.040 asked it
00:10:51.420 just right.
00:10:52.860 Yeah,
00:10:53.340 you actually
00:10:53.760 had to challenge
00:10:54.420 it and tell
00:10:55.480 it that you
00:10:55.880 knew it had
00:10:56.460 it and then
00:10:57.220 it would
00:10:57.420 give it to you.
00:10:58.880 Crazy.
00:11:00.180 I don't know
00:11:00.800 what this implies
00:11:01.480 for building
00:11:02.080 these GPT apps
00:11:03.840 but it's a
00:11:04.680 wild experience.
00:11:06.060 I recommend it
00:11:06.860 by the way.
00:11:07.300 If you have
00:11:07.660 any interest
00:11:08.300 in this field,
00:11:09.880 it's just
00:11:10.280 you're seeing
00:11:11.460 the future.
00:11:11.980 It's easy
00:11:13.060 to imagine
00:11:13.700 that that's
00:11:14.300 a bug
00:11:15.200 that will
00:11:15.480 get fixed
00:11:16.100 because it's
00:11:17.020 very specific.
00:11:18.180 It's acting
00:11:18.600 like it doesn't
00:11:19.180 see the data.
00:11:20.140 That feels
00:11:20.680 quite fixable.
00:11:22.240 Other people
00:11:22.640 are having
00:11:22.940 the same
00:11:23.280 experience
00:11:23.780 apparently.
00:11:25.980 But,
00:11:26.380 wow.
00:11:27.780 Anyway,
00:11:28.300 I'd like to
00:11:28.760 test my
00:11:29.260 BS detector.
00:11:30.680 You remember
00:11:31.100 I told you
00:11:31.560 there was a
00:11:31.980 story that
00:11:33.460 allegedly
00:11:34.000 an Arabic
00:11:35.500 version of
00:11:37.160 Mein Kampf
00:11:37.900 was found
00:11:39.200 in a
00:11:39.660 Palestinian
00:11:40.240 child's
00:11:41.580 bedroom.
00:11:41.980 Now,
00:11:44.400 do you
00:11:44.600 remember
00:11:44.780 what I
00:11:45.100 said about
00:11:45.500 that?
00:11:46.840 That's a
00:11:47.500 little bit
00:11:48.000 too on
00:11:48.440 the nose.
00:11:49.900 That doesn't
00:11:50.640 feel real.
00:11:52.040 So that was
00:11:52.740 my take on
00:11:53.400 it.
00:11:54.260 Today,
00:11:55.060 Glenn Greenwald
00:11:55.840 was calling
00:11:56.560 it out as
00:11:57.280 coming from
00:11:58.000 a source
00:11:58.520 which is
00:11:58.980 a known
00:11:59.600 wild
00:12:01.060 propaganda
00:12:01.580 site.
00:12:02.880 So it
00:12:03.220 did not
00:12:03.600 come from
00:12:04.000 a real
00:12:04.320 source.
00:12:04.820 It came
00:12:05.080 from a
00:12:05.640 source that
00:12:06.960 is well
00:12:07.320 known for
00:12:07.820 simply making
00:12:08.440 shit up.
00:12:10.180 So I
00:12:10.700 think my
00:12:11.040 BS detector
00:12:11.800 was accurate
00:12:12.440 in this
00:12:12.780 case.
00:12:13.480 Not 100%
00:12:14.260 sure,
00:12:15.220 but the
00:12:15.920 source was
00:12:16.540 so wildly
00:12:17.720 ridiculous,
00:12:19.600 it's probably
00:12:20.020 BS.
00:12:22.300 Tim Scott
00:12:23.320 has dropped
00:12:25.140 down of the
00:12:25.580 race for
00:12:26.220 president.
00:12:27.980 Now,
00:12:28.220 some of you
00:12:28.700 are going to
00:12:29.060 say,
00:12:29.980 Tim Scott,
00:12:30.680 who's he?
00:12:31.840 I didn't
00:12:32.460 know he was
00:12:32.860 in the
00:12:33.100 race.
00:12:33.540 Well,
00:12:34.080 that's probably
00:12:34.600 why he had
00:12:34.980 to drop
00:12:35.320 out,
00:12:36.160 because he
00:12:36.660 didn't really
00:12:37.000 make an
00:12:38.380 impression.
00:12:39.420 In the
00:12:39.980 end,
00:12:40.260 he turned
00:12:40.580 into an
00:12:40.980 NPC.
00:12:43.460 Because the
00:12:44.160 NPC part
00:12:44.980 was actually
00:12:45.920 impressive for
00:12:46.680 a while,
00:12:47.700 because in
00:12:48.040 the early
00:12:48.360 days,
00:12:48.760 he would
00:12:48.940 start out
00:12:49.400 with his
00:12:49.800 inspirational
00:12:50.480 story about
00:12:51.840 how anybody
00:12:52.560 can make it
00:12:53.120 in America,
00:12:54.140 like a real
00:12:54.760 classic American
00:12:56.700 success story
00:12:57.620 kind of thing.
00:12:58.780 And to
00:12:59.920 many Republicans,
00:13:00.900 he looked
00:13:01.180 like the
00:13:01.580 antidote to
00:13:02.640 the racial
00:13:03.780 wokeness.
00:13:05.000 It's like,
00:13:05.240 oh yeah,
00:13:05.840 that's it.
00:13:06.320 you did
00:13:06.860 all the
00:13:07.120 right things,
00:13:08.400 and then
00:13:08.700 you got a
00:13:09.060 good outcome.
00:13:10.320 And indeed,
00:13:11.600 we see over
00:13:12.260 and over
00:13:12.540 again that
00:13:13.260 pretty much
00:13:14.040 everybody who
00:13:14.940 does all the
00:13:15.420 right things
00:13:16.060 gets a pretty
00:13:17.060 good outcome.
00:13:18.280 So it was a
00:13:18.960 great story,
00:13:19.940 but it turned
00:13:20.820 out he didn't
00:13:21.260 have much
00:13:21.640 else.
00:13:22.920 I mean,
00:13:23.100 he had
00:13:23.320 policies,
00:13:24.640 but they
00:13:25.000 didn't stand
00:13:25.580 out as,
00:13:26.500 oh,
00:13:26.880 Tim Scott's
00:13:27.520 got this
00:13:27.960 wild policy,
00:13:28.920 we'd better
00:13:29.320 talk about
00:13:29.800 him.
00:13:30.320 His policies
00:13:31.040 were also
00:13:31.700 generically
00:13:32.400 Republican.
00:13:34.680 In the
00:13:35.220 end,
00:13:35.460 all he had
00:13:35.860 was his
00:13:36.300 story.
00:13:37.940 And then
00:13:38.240 it became,
00:13:39.420 I hate to
00:13:39.860 say it,
00:13:40.180 but it
00:13:40.380 started to
00:13:40.880 get pathetic
00:13:41.840 that the
00:13:43.120 best he
00:13:43.520 could do
00:13:43.820 is go
00:13:44.080 back to
00:13:44.440 the story.
00:13:46.000 It's a
00:13:46.460 good story,
00:13:47.200 a great
00:13:47.540 story,
00:13:47.920 really,
00:13:48.240 a great
00:13:48.560 American
00:13:48.920 story,
00:13:49.480 but didn't
00:13:50.500 have enough,
00:13:51.120 just didn't
00:13:51.500 have the
00:13:51.780 juice.
00:13:52.580 So I
00:13:52.840 think he
00:13:53.040 made the
00:13:53.300 right choice
00:13:53.720 to get
00:13:54.700 out.
00:13:56.860 The way
00:13:57.340 was getting
00:13:57.740 in.
00:13:58.800 So you
00:13:59.100 remember the
00:13:59.560 QAnon
00:14:00.100 shaman,
00:14:00.740 Jacob
00:14:01.020 Chansley,
00:14:01.700 who wore
00:14:03.360 the bison
00:14:03.820 hat and
00:14:04.320 got arrested,
00:14:05.100 and he
00:14:05.380 was in
00:14:05.660 jail for
00:14:06.000 a long
00:14:06.240 time for
00:14:06.620 January 6th.
00:14:08.200 He is
00:14:08.800 going to
00:14:09.020 run for
00:14:09.400 Congress as
00:14:10.420 a libertarian
00:14:11.140 in Arizona.
00:14:13.760 Hello.
00:14:16.440 Now,
00:14:17.080 if he's a
00:14:17.740 libertarian,
00:14:18.380 that means he's
00:14:18.860 running against
00:14:19.360 a Republican,
00:14:20.020 right?
00:14:20.440 As well as a
00:14:21.420 Democrat,
00:14:21.960 I assume.
00:14:23.200 So I
00:14:23.620 don't know
00:14:24.660 what his
00:14:24.900 odds are.
00:14:25.980 But he
00:14:27.120 is the
00:14:27.600 Nelson Mandela
00:14:28.640 of our
00:14:29.080 time.
00:14:29.460 I'm just
00:14:32.500 saying that
00:14:32.940 so people
00:14:33.700 can get
00:14:34.080 mad.
00:14:35.660 That was
00:14:36.320 intentionally
00:14:36.840 stated to
00:14:37.760 make you
00:14:38.100 angry.
00:14:39.200 What?
00:14:40.320 There's no
00:14:41.100 way you can
00:14:41.760 compare him
00:14:42.340 to Nelson
00:14:42.820 Mandela.
00:14:44.180 I know.
00:14:45.620 That's why
00:14:45.960 it's funny.
00:14:47.160 He's a poor
00:14:47.600 man's Nelson
00:14:48.240 Mandela.
00:14:49.700 But I do
00:14:50.560 like the idea
00:14:51.300 of if you
00:14:51.960 get locked
00:14:52.880 up for
00:14:53.580 reasons which
00:14:54.340 the public
00:14:54.840 seems to
00:14:56.200 think are
00:14:57.100 inadequate,
00:14:59.460 that you
00:15:00.800 can use
00:15:01.260 that to
00:15:01.600 launch a
00:15:01.980 campaign.
00:15:03.240 Honestly,
00:15:03.760 I would
00:15:04.020 vote for
00:15:04.420 him.
00:15:05.680 Like, not
00:15:06.360 a joke.
00:15:07.420 If I were
00:15:07.880 in Arizona,
00:15:08.900 I'd probably
00:15:09.520 vote for him
00:15:10.100 over a
00:15:10.660 Republican.
00:15:11.620 Honestly.
00:15:12.720 Because I
00:15:13.080 didn't see
00:15:13.420 any Republicans
00:15:14.120 get anybody
00:15:14.760 out of jail,
00:15:15.360 did you?
00:15:16.440 Did you see
00:15:16.880 the Republicans
00:15:17.500 fighting very
00:15:18.280 hard to get
00:15:18.920 January 6ers
00:15:20.120 out of jail?
00:15:20.640 Fuck them.
00:15:21.640 If I were
00:15:21.980 him, I'd
00:15:22.320 say fuck
00:15:22.720 him.
00:15:23.700 You're
00:15:23.940 going to
00:15:23.980 run as
00:15:24.260 a
00:15:24.360 libertarian.
00:15:25.540 And I
00:15:25.840 would vote
00:15:26.140 for him.
00:15:27.320 Because I
00:15:28.160 don't know
00:15:28.460 what his
00:15:28.840 qualities,
00:15:29.460 are for
00:15:29.860 the job.
00:15:31.340 But it's
00:15:32.020 sort of a
00:15:32.420 statement.
00:15:33.600 If you're
00:15:34.100 going to
00:15:34.200 lock somebody
00:15:34.780 up, you
00:15:36.460 better get
00:15:36.880 it right.
00:15:37.880 It's sort
00:15:38.240 of one of
00:15:38.600 those, if
00:15:39.040 you come
00:15:39.400 for the
00:15:39.720 king, he's
00:15:40.860 not exactly
00:15:41.440 the king.
00:15:42.460 But if
00:15:43.300 you come
00:15:43.660 for him
00:15:44.040 and you
00:15:44.320 miss, you
00:15:46.740 might get
00:15:47.160 yourself a
00:15:48.620 new congressperson.
00:15:50.600 So I
00:15:51.400 guess I
00:15:52.080 love the
00:15:52.700 justice and
00:15:55.680 just, I
00:15:56.240 don't know,
00:15:56.720 every part of
00:15:57.300 that story I
00:15:57.880 like.
00:15:58.200 It's
00:15:58.940 kind of
00:16:00.100 classically
00:16:00.780 wonderfully
00:16:01.380 American.
00:16:03.420 So I
00:16:03.700 guess that's
00:16:04.060 what I
00:16:04.280 like about
00:16:04.660 it.
00:16:07.140 The
00:16:07.620 Wall
00:16:08.060 Street
00:16:08.240 Journal
00:16:08.560 has this
00:16:09.240 big article
00:16:09.760 about
00:16:10.280 black
00:16:11.860 voters
00:16:12.360 moving a
00:16:13.940 little bit
00:16:14.260 more toward
00:16:14.720 Trump.
00:16:16.660 But just
00:16:17.320 hold this
00:16:17.760 in your
00:16:18.060 mind.
00:16:19.180 It's the
00:16:19.620 Wall
00:16:19.840 Street
00:16:20.080 Journal.
00:16:21.440 Hold that
00:16:22.120 in your
00:16:22.340 mind first.
00:16:22.860 so it's
00:16:23.520 one of
00:16:23.820 the most
00:16:24.380 capable,
00:16:26.320 trusted news
00:16:27.320 publications.
00:16:28.880 Keep in
00:16:29.580 mind that
00:16:30.000 it's 2023.
00:16:32.520 And in
00:16:32.900 2023, the
00:16:34.820 Wall Street
00:16:35.240 Journal has
00:16:35.960 an article
00:16:36.520 which makes
00:16:38.420 the claim
00:16:39.220 that the
00:16:41.700 fine people
00:16:42.340 hoax was
00:16:44.620 not a
00:16:44.980 hoax.
00:16:45.540 I mean,
00:16:45.740 they don't
00:16:45.980 say that.
00:16:46.920 They just
00:16:47.320 refer to the
00:16:48.760 president calling
00:16:49.600 people on both
00:16:50.420 sides of
00:16:51.000 fine people.
00:16:52.340 Like it was
00:16:53.220 a fact in
00:16:54.760 the Wall
00:16:55.120 Street Journal
00:16:55.720 in a major
00:16:57.040 article,
00:16:57.820 feature article
00:16:58.680 in 2023.
00:17:00.460 In the
00:17:00.760 Wall Street
00:17:01.100 Journal.
00:17:03.360 Now this
00:17:03.660 was Catherine
00:17:04.580 Lucy wrote
00:17:05.440 this.
00:17:06.520 And so I
00:17:07.060 was so
00:17:07.420 curious how
00:17:08.240 you could
00:17:08.620 be so
00:17:09.800 either wrong
00:17:10.980 or unethical.
00:17:11.880 I didn't
00:17:12.080 know what
00:17:12.320 was going
00:17:12.660 on.
00:17:13.360 So I
00:17:13.680 checked her
00:17:14.060 background.
00:17:14.900 She used
00:17:15.200 to work
00:17:15.480 for the
00:17:15.940 AP
00:17:16.360 during the
00:17:17.440 2016
00:17:17.980 election.
00:17:19.400 If you
00:17:19.760 work for
00:17:20.200 the AP
00:17:20.680 during the
00:17:21.200 2016
00:17:21.700 election,
00:17:22.980 you were
00:17:23.440 brainwashed
00:17:24.080 into thinking
00:17:24.740 that the
00:17:25.240 fine people
00:17:25.840 hoax wasn't
00:17:26.520 a hoax.
00:17:27.520 Because I
00:17:27.880 think the
00:17:28.220 AP reported
00:17:29.000 that it
00:17:29.360 was real.
00:17:31.020 And then
00:17:31.240 she goes
00:17:31.580 to the
00:17:31.820 Washington,
00:17:32.860 I'm sorry,
00:17:33.540 she goes
00:17:33.840 to the
00:17:34.380 Wall Street
00:17:35.560 Journal,
00:17:36.860 writes a
00:17:37.260 feature article,
00:17:39.000 and the
00:17:39.800 editors of
00:17:40.640 the Wall
00:17:41.480 Street
00:17:41.740 Journal
00:17:42.100 don't
00:17:42.860 catch that?
00:17:44.620 It was a
00:17:45.440 pretty important
00:17:45.980 part of the
00:17:46.420 story.
00:17:47.420 I mean,
00:17:47.660 it was,
00:17:47.960 you know,
00:17:48.340 important context
00:17:49.560 of the
00:17:50.040 larger story.
00:17:52.280 What's
00:17:52.760 going on
00:17:53.200 here?
00:17:54.860 Because that's
00:17:55.580 not an
00:17:55.960 opinion.
00:17:57.020 That's a
00:17:57.500 well-established
00:17:58.360 fact that
00:17:59.440 it didn't
00:17:59.800 happen.
00:18:01.760 In 2017,
00:18:03.120 you could be
00:18:03.640 maybe excused
00:18:04.840 for, you
00:18:05.840 know, not
00:18:06.820 knowing that
00:18:07.280 the fake
00:18:07.620 news was
00:18:08.140 fake, but
00:18:09.320 it's 2013.
00:18:10.840 You're telling
00:18:11.240 me that nobody
00:18:12.080 who read this
00:18:12.760 article before
00:18:13.380 it got
00:18:13.620 published was
00:18:15.040 aware that
00:18:15.660 they were
00:18:16.200 perpetrating
00:18:16.960 one of
00:18:17.400 the biggest
00:18:17.980 lies of
00:18:19.740 American
00:18:20.660 politics.
00:18:22.380 Wall Street
00:18:22.740 Journal doesn't
00:18:23.380 know that.
00:18:24.600 Really.
00:18:25.700 What do you
00:18:26.300 think is going
00:18:26.820 on?
00:18:27.100 I actually
00:18:27.440 don't know.
00:18:28.480 Do you
00:18:28.760 think that
00:18:29.240 both the
00:18:29.760 writer and
00:18:30.480 whoever edited
00:18:31.600 it couldn't
00:18:33.360 catch it?
00:18:34.680 And do you
00:18:35.080 think that
00:18:35.460 after it was
00:18:36.020 published,
00:18:37.100 they didn't
00:18:37.560 get enough
00:18:38.120 pushback to
00:18:39.820 immediately
00:18:40.240 correct it?
00:18:42.580 I'm actually
00:18:43.460 puzzled.
00:18:43.940 I'd like to
00:18:45.900 challenge you
00:18:46.600 with this
00:18:47.440 challenge.
00:18:50.080 Can you
00:18:50.380 find me if
00:18:51.180 the Wall
00:18:51.560 Street Journal
00:18:52.100 has ever
00:18:52.660 reported
00:18:53.200 factually that
00:18:55.120 the fine
00:18:55.540 people hoax
00:18:56.140 was a
00:18:56.560 hoax?
00:18:57.620 Because I'll
00:18:58.160 bet they
00:18:58.480 have.
00:18:59.620 I feel like I
00:19:00.300 have a memory
00:19:00.860 that the Wall
00:19:01.600 Street Journal
00:19:02.040 is one of
00:19:02.460 the few that
00:19:03.900 correctly said
00:19:04.740 that didn't
00:19:05.200 happen.
00:19:06.480 So I'm
00:19:07.100 wondering if
00:19:07.580 their reporting
00:19:08.140 is now two
00:19:09.280 opposites.
00:19:10.860 Is that what
00:19:11.840 happened?
00:19:12.480 Whereas the
00:19:12.920 Wall Street
00:19:13.280 Journal
00:19:13.680 always
00:19:14.220 imagined
00:19:14.920 that it
00:19:15.280 happened.
00:19:16.180 Have they
00:19:16.420 always reported
00:19:17.120 it wrong?
00:19:19.040 I'd love to
00:19:19.840 know what's
00:19:20.820 going on
00:19:21.160 there.
00:19:22.920 Anyway,
00:19:24.200 here's a
00:19:24.740 little test
00:19:25.200 for your
00:19:26.300 relatives for
00:19:27.180 Thanksgiving.
00:19:28.640 Before the
00:19:29.480 holidays, I
00:19:30.040 like to give
00:19:30.480 you something
00:19:30.940 to say to
00:19:31.500 your relatives
00:19:32.000 that are on
00:19:33.320 the left,
00:19:34.820 that will
00:19:35.200 get them
00:19:35.500 all worked
00:19:36.600 up,
00:19:37.300 just to
00:19:39.960 ruin all of
00:19:40.580 your family
00:19:41.080 relations for
00:19:41.860 fun.
00:19:42.120 All right,
00:19:43.180 here's the
00:19:43.520 test for
00:19:43.940 cognitive
00:19:44.300 distance.
00:19:47.320 You want
00:19:48.000 to ask if
00:19:48.620 they agree
00:19:49.200 with the
00:19:49.640 following
00:19:50.000 logic.
00:19:51.660 So you
00:19:52.100 tell them
00:19:52.380 it's a
00:19:52.760 logic
00:19:53.160 question.
00:19:53.720 Do you
00:19:53.940 agree with
00:19:54.480 the following
00:19:54.900 logic?
00:19:55.340 that Attorney
00:19:57.680 General Bill
00:19:58.340 Barr and
00:19:59.320 other
00:19:59.700 advisers told
00:20:00.800 Trump the
00:20:01.480 2020 election
00:20:02.500 was fair,
00:20:04.220 and therefore
00:20:04.860 Trump knew
00:20:06.100 the election
00:20:06.660 was not
00:20:07.400 rigged.
00:20:08.840 So ask
00:20:09.460 them if they
00:20:09.860 agree with
00:20:10.300 that.
00:20:11.160 If they
00:20:11.720 agree with
00:20:12.140 that, that's
00:20:13.320 cognitive
00:20:13.800 dissonance.
00:20:15.480 Right?
00:20:16.140 Now, some
00:20:17.060 of you are
00:20:17.440 saying, but
00:20:17.960 why is it?
00:20:19.340 Why is that
00:20:19.940 cognitive
00:20:20.320 dissonance?
00:20:21.160 If you're
00:20:21.820 saying that,
00:20:22.340 you're having
00:20:22.680 cognitive
00:20:23.120 dissonance.
00:20:23.720 Because
00:20:24.620 everybody who
00:20:25.300 doesn't have
00:20:25.820 cognitive
00:20:26.200 dissonance
00:20:26.800 knows
00:20:27.540 immediately
00:20:28.020 what's
00:20:28.360 wrong with
00:20:28.700 it.
00:20:29.660 And here's
00:20:30.460 the important
00:20:30.840 part.
00:20:31.560 It's not
00:20:32.020 because some
00:20:32.540 people are
00:20:32.920 good at
00:20:33.280 logic, and
00:20:34.760 some people
00:20:35.280 are not.
00:20:36.460 This is
00:20:36.840 something
00:20:37.140 everybody
00:20:37.540 knows.
00:20:39.600 Let me
00:20:40.220 give you an
00:20:40.560 example.
00:20:42.220 If you
00:20:42.740 can't find
00:20:43.300 your phone,
00:20:44.700 and the
00:20:45.200 only place
00:20:45.780 you look
00:20:46.180 is in
00:20:46.520 your bedroom,
00:20:47.960 can you
00:20:48.420 conclude that
00:20:49.100 no phone
00:20:49.540 exists?
00:20:52.180 Everybody
00:20:52.700 knows that
00:20:53.440 that would
00:20:53.740 not be
00:20:54.420 logical.
00:20:55.520 There's
00:20:55.920 nobody who
00:20:56.400 needs a
00:20:56.900 logic lesson
00:20:57.600 to know
00:20:58.460 that if
00:20:58.780 the only
00:20:59.180 place you
00:20:59.640 looked, and
00:21:01.220 you didn't
00:21:01.520 find it, you
00:21:02.180 could not
00:21:02.540 conclude that
00:21:03.160 it does not
00:21:03.680 exist anywhere
00:21:04.320 else on
00:21:04.740 earth.
00:21:05.240 We all
00:21:06.260 know that.
00:21:07.780 Now, there's
00:21:08.360 a special
00:21:08.820 case where
00:21:10.160 if I ask
00:21:10.660 you, is
00:21:11.240 there milk
00:21:11.780 in the
00:21:12.640 refrigerator, and
00:21:15.120 you looked, and
00:21:15.700 there was one
00:21:16.160 container, and
00:21:16.820 you look, and
00:21:17.200 it's empty, and
00:21:18.320 then you look
00:21:18.700 really carefully
00:21:19.380 in the rest
00:21:19.820 of the
00:21:20.000 refrigerator, and
00:21:21.020 there's no
00:21:21.320 other milk?
00:21:22.320 Yes.
00:21:22.760 In that
00:21:23.540 very weird
00:21:24.360 specific case, you
00:21:26.100 can know there's
00:21:26.940 no milk in the
00:21:28.420 refrigerator.
00:21:30.160 But, you
00:21:30.640 know, that's a
00:21:30.960 very special
00:21:31.440 case.
00:21:32.300 But an
00:21:33.160 election with
00:21:34.260 50 different
00:21:35.080 states, and
00:21:35.840 you know, however
00:21:36.600 many precincts,
00:21:38.220 hundreds,
00:21:38.900 thousands, I
00:21:39.460 don't even
00:21:39.700 know, who
00:21:42.000 could possibly
00:21:43.060 know that all
00:21:44.720 of the code of
00:21:45.680 all the election
00:21:46.880 machines, every
00:21:48.460 person who could
00:21:49.180 have done
00:21:49.500 something didn't,
00:21:50.360 it's not
00:21:52.000 knowable, and
00:21:53.020 everybody knows
00:21:53.880 that.
00:21:54.740 But you will
00:21:55.400 get Democrats
00:21:57.060 to act like they
00:21:57.840 don't know it.
00:21:58.600 That's cognitive
00:21:59.320 dissonance.
00:22:00.500 So the
00:22:00.800 pretending you
00:22:01.560 don't understand
00:22:02.440 the point is
00:22:04.280 that.
00:22:04.760 Now, if
00:22:05.700 instead of
00:22:06.300 addressing this,
00:22:07.800 you know, the
00:22:08.080 moment you say,
00:22:08.920 okay, that's
00:22:09.540 cognitive dissonance,
00:22:10.640 they say, and
00:22:12.200 you've all heard
00:22:13.120 it, the courts
00:22:15.640 found nothing wrong
00:22:16.700 with the election.
00:22:17.380 that's exactly
00:22:19.800 the same point.
00:22:21.880 The courts
00:22:22.380 don't check
00:22:22.980 everything, and
00:22:24.100 the people who
00:22:24.680 took things to
00:22:25.360 the court also
00:22:26.620 can't check
00:22:27.240 everything.
00:22:28.660 So what the
00:22:29.380 court saw was,
00:22:30.240 you know, this
00:22:30.560 like tiny little
00:22:31.480 sliver of a
00:22:32.280 grain of sand
00:22:32.860 on the beach.
00:22:33.660 That's all they
00:22:34.440 saw.
00:22:35.380 So if they saw
00:22:35.980 one grain of
00:22:36.780 sand on the
00:22:37.340 beach, can
00:22:39.200 they conclude
00:22:39.780 anything about
00:22:40.420 all beaches
00:22:40.960 in the world?
00:22:42.300 Probably not.
00:22:44.080 So you will
00:22:46.400 find out that
00:22:47.000 after you point
00:22:47.620 out that
00:22:47.960 somebody's in
00:22:48.480 cognitive dissonance
00:22:49.560 for believing
00:22:50.720 they know
00:22:51.220 something doesn't
00:22:52.040 exist because
00:22:52.820 they didn't look
00:22:53.540 for it very
00:22:54.180 well, they
00:22:55.560 will get angry,
00:22:56.640 and then what
00:22:57.200 do they do?
00:22:58.460 First they get
00:22:59.220 angry.
00:23:00.200 What's the next
00:23:00.780 thing that happens?
00:23:03.500 They change the
00:23:04.500 subject.
00:23:06.000 But, but, but,
00:23:06.860 Trump did
00:23:08.100 something else
00:23:08.720 bad, fine
00:23:09.400 people hoax.
00:23:11.080 But, but, but,
00:23:12.080 he said drink
00:23:12.780 bleach, the
00:23:13.680 drinking bleach
00:23:14.240 hoax.
00:23:14.560 And it will
00:23:16.740 always go that
00:23:17.620 way, or it
00:23:18.640 will turn into
00:23:19.220 name-calling.
00:23:19.960 I've experienced
00:23:20.520 this.
00:23:22.380 Well, I guess
00:23:23.960 you get your
00:23:24.440 news from
00:23:24.880 QAnon.
00:23:26.380 And I'll say,
00:23:27.480 this has nothing
00:23:28.340 to do with
00:23:28.980 QAnon, and
00:23:29.980 also, I was
00:23:31.360 debunking QAnon.
00:23:33.060 Yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:23:33.580 but you get your,
00:23:34.480 all your news from
00:23:35.180 Fox News.
00:23:36.400 To which I say,
00:23:38.040 no I don't.
00:23:38.780 I consciously
00:23:40.260 and publicly
00:23:41.060 look at all
00:23:42.140 the news sources
00:23:42.920 left and
00:23:43.440 right, and I
00:23:44.640 criticize them
00:23:45.640 all.
00:23:47.180 Yeah, but
00:23:47.580 Trump
00:23:48.820 said that a
00:23:51.640 guy with
00:23:52.800 disability in
00:23:54.380 his arm, he
00:23:55.360 mocked him in
00:23:55.880 public.
00:23:57.300 No, he
00:23:57.820 didn't.
00:23:59.480 Look at the
00:24:00.220 compilation
00:24:00.740 clips that the
00:24:02.580 right never
00:24:03.000 sees, where
00:24:04.000 he's been using
00:24:04.580 the same gesture
00:24:05.380 for ordinary
00:24:06.180 everyday people
00:24:07.480 with no
00:24:08.260 disabilities
00:24:08.840 forever.
00:24:11.120 Which they
00:24:11.720 have never
00:24:12.080 seen.
00:24:14.280 Anyway, so
00:24:14.880 that's your
00:24:15.160 fun for
00:24:15.540 Thanksgiving.
00:24:18.300 Washington,
00:24:19.200 D.C.
00:24:19.600 is having
00:24:20.000 trouble getting
00:24:20.580 enough social
00:24:21.480 workers, and
00:24:23.200 they've got some
00:24:23.740 kind of a
00:24:24.260 diversity problem
00:24:25.000 here, because
00:24:25.960 I guess there's
00:24:26.400 some kind of
00:24:26.980 test you can
00:24:27.740 take to
00:24:28.240 qualify as a
00:24:28.920 social worker,
00:24:30.160 and 76% of
00:24:31.960 white test
00:24:32.520 takers passed,
00:24:33.760 but only 33%
00:24:35.020 of black test
00:24:35.900 takers did,
00:24:36.500 and weirdly
00:24:37.840 Asian-American
00:24:39.860 test takers
00:24:40.640 were in
00:24:41.060 between, which
00:24:42.840 you don't
00:24:43.140 normally see in
00:24:44.360 these objective
00:24:45.100 tests, but
00:24:46.460 the belief is
00:24:48.380 that what's
00:24:49.240 happening here
00:24:49.860 is that it's
00:24:51.480 letting too
00:24:52.020 many white
00:24:52.520 people get
00:24:53.260 into the
00:24:53.580 jobs, and
00:24:54.100 it's what
00:24:54.960 they say
00:24:55.340 de-diversifying
00:24:56.460 the field.
00:24:57.840 In other
00:24:58.160 words, it's a
00:24:58.700 field they
00:24:59.080 want, like
00:25:00.080 everything else,
00:25:00.640 to be
00:25:00.860 diversified, but
00:25:02.480 when you have
00:25:03.320 a test that
00:25:04.040 white people
00:25:04.580 are passing
00:25:05.200 at three
00:25:07.320 times or
00:25:07.920 more the
00:25:08.260 level of
00:25:08.740 black people,
00:25:09.500 you're going
00:25:10.500 in the
00:25:10.720 opposite
00:25:10.980 direction.
00:25:13.220 And now
00:25:13.600 you might
00:25:13.900 ask yourself,
00:25:16.720 and then
00:25:17.400 the claim
00:25:17.860 is that the
00:25:18.500 test itself
00:25:19.280 is racially
00:25:20.320 biased.
00:25:22.160 So they're
00:25:23.220 not saying
00:25:23.740 that the
00:25:25.040 black applicants
00:25:26.140 have less
00:25:26.700 qualifications,
00:25:28.040 they're saying
00:25:28.720 that it's a
00:25:29.220 test that if
00:25:30.460 you gave it
00:25:30.860 to any white
00:25:31.300 person and
00:25:31.740 any black
00:25:32.100 person, on
00:25:33.060 average, not
00:25:33.860 any person,
00:25:34.440 but on
00:25:34.780 average, there
00:25:36.620 would be a
00:25:36.980 racial bias
00:25:37.720 built into
00:25:38.640 the questions
00:25:39.200 so massive
00:25:40.820 that it has
00:25:42.400 like a
00:25:42.940 tripling effect
00:25:43.840 of who
00:25:44.740 passes and
00:25:45.320 who fails.
00:25:45.920 I mean,
00:25:46.160 really big
00:25:46.740 effect.
00:25:47.740 So what's
00:25:48.100 your first
00:25:48.440 question?
00:25:50.660 What's your
00:25:51.040 first question?
00:25:52.640 Can you give
00:25:53.100 me an example
00:25:53.700 of one of
00:25:54.080 those questions?
00:25:55.680 Right?
00:25:56.620 Well, it
00:25:57.140 turns out that
00:25:57.680 they're private,
00:25:58.920 and it makes
00:25:59.360 sense, because
00:25:59.840 it's a test.
00:26:00.840 You can't give
00:26:01.600 people the
00:26:03.040 questions, because
00:26:03.720 then they'd
00:26:04.060 know the
00:26:04.360 answers before
00:26:05.160 they took
00:26:05.520 the test.
00:26:06.280 So they
00:26:06.700 can't tell
00:26:07.140 you the
00:26:07.380 questions.
00:26:08.520 They can
00:26:08.900 only tell
00:26:09.320 you that
00:26:09.920 they've
00:26:10.200 secretly seen
00:26:10.920 the questions
00:26:11.360 and they
00:26:11.780 think that
00:26:12.140 they might
00:26:12.480 be biased.
00:26:14.540 Do you
00:26:15.120 buy that?
00:26:16.620 Is that a
00:26:17.340 strong argument?
00:26:18.660 The things
00:26:19.220 we can't show
00:26:19.980 you are
00:26:20.320 biased?
00:26:23.480 Well, remember
00:26:24.260 there used to
00:26:24.700 be the same
00:26:25.180 argument about
00:26:26.260 the SATs.
00:26:28.180 Do you
00:26:28.640 remember that?
00:26:30.020 Years ago.
00:26:30.720 People said
00:26:31.660 the SATs, the
00:26:32.700 questions are
00:26:33.380 biased.
00:26:34.840 And I
00:26:35.140 remember saying
00:26:35.780 the same
00:26:36.120 thing.
00:26:36.820 Can you
00:26:37.140 give me an
00:26:37.840 example of
00:26:38.520 a biased
00:26:39.060 math question?
00:26:40.840 Or a biased
00:26:42.000 any other kind
00:26:43.200 of question?
00:26:44.100 And they
00:26:44.680 actually had an
00:26:45.280 example that
00:26:46.020 persuaded me.
00:26:48.120 Now, I don't
00:26:48.540 know how many
00:26:49.060 of these there
00:26:49.540 are, but I'm
00:26:50.400 going to give
00:26:50.760 you the same
00:26:51.340 example, and I
00:26:52.920 remember hearing
00:26:53.480 it and thinking,
00:26:54.800 I'll be damned.
00:26:55.660 They do actually
00:26:56.420 have an example
00:26:57.100 that's completely
00:26:57.880 racially biased.
00:26:59.560 All right, here's
00:27:00.640 the example I
00:27:01.240 heard.
00:27:01.840 Now, I'm not
00:27:02.420 going to claim
00:27:03.000 that from this
00:27:04.440 one example you
00:27:05.420 can say much, but
00:27:07.300 what if there are
00:27:07.840 more examples?
00:27:09.780 You know, I was
00:27:10.360 surprised there was
00:27:11.040 even one example,
00:27:12.600 and I'm going to
00:27:13.100 give it to you, but
00:27:14.020 what if there are
00:27:14.500 more?
00:27:15.120 All right, here's
00:27:15.440 the example.
00:27:16.540 The question was
00:27:17.840 something like,
00:27:19.300 match this word
00:27:21.200 to the one that
00:27:23.220 goes with it.
00:27:25.160 And the word
00:27:25.820 was cup, and the
00:27:27.940 options were
00:27:28.680 table, saucer, and
00:27:31.800 then some third
00:27:32.580 one like plate.
00:27:34.620 The white
00:27:35.480 applicants, or the
00:27:36.720 white test takers,
00:27:37.700 were more likely to
00:27:38.580 say cup and
00:27:39.320 saucer, because
00:27:40.720 they're literally a
00:27:41.640 pair, cup and
00:27:42.460 saucer.
00:27:43.160 But if you were
00:27:44.220 from a low-income
00:27:45.080 house, what are
00:27:46.680 the odds you'd
00:27:47.180 ever seen a
00:27:47.680 saucer?
00:27:48.940 So it turns out
00:27:49.720 that a lot of the
00:27:50.280 low-income people
00:27:51.100 didn't even know
00:27:51.800 what a fucking
00:27:52.260 saucer was.
00:27:54.220 Is that their
00:27:55.020 fault?
00:27:56.040 Is there
00:27:57.720 something wrong
00:27:59.240 with them that
00:27:59.780 they'd never heard
00:28:00.340 of a saucer?
00:28:01.540 No.
00:28:01.980 Actually, you would
00:28:02.700 need to be at a
00:28:03.580 certain economic
00:28:04.340 level before you'd
00:28:06.000 ever seen one.
00:28:08.220 You'd never seen
00:28:09.060 one.
00:28:10.460 So it's not even a
00:28:11.440 word in your
00:28:11.860 vocabulary.
00:28:13.320 And I thought to
00:28:14.040 myself, that's
00:28:14.780 actually a good
00:28:15.340 point.
00:28:17.300 Do you agree with
00:28:18.160 that one?
00:28:19.380 Do you agree with
00:28:20.160 that one point?
00:28:24.220 Well, here's
00:28:26.320 what I would
00:28:26.740 say.
00:28:28.380 What did the
00:28:29.420 poor white
00:28:30.100 people do?
00:28:32.120 Did the poor
00:28:32.920 white people say
00:28:33.700 table?
00:28:37.180 So I don't
00:28:38.860 know the answer
00:28:39.360 to that question.
00:28:41.180 But in both
00:28:42.700 cases, I was
00:28:43.520 surprised that
00:28:44.240 there could be a
00:28:44.800 question that
00:28:45.440 might actually
00:28:47.360 have some racial
00:28:48.040 bias to it.
00:28:48.880 That was a
00:28:49.200 better example
00:28:49.720 than I was
00:28:50.120 expecting.
00:28:50.920 So I'm not
00:28:52.180 going to say,
00:28:53.620 because I don't
00:28:54.340 know, that this
00:28:56.180 test is unbiased
00:28:58.700 and there's
00:28:59.900 something wrong
00:29:00.380 with the test
00:29:00.860 takers.
00:29:01.280 I don't know
00:29:01.640 that.
00:29:03.760 But we've got
00:29:04.880 questions.
00:29:05.800 We've got
00:29:06.140 questions.
00:29:08.360 All right.
00:29:10.960 Here's some
00:29:11.680 maybe good news,
00:29:12.760 but it's the
00:29:13.660 good news I've
00:29:14.180 been reading
00:29:14.500 about for, I
00:29:15.460 don't know, my
00:29:16.360 entire life.
00:29:17.320 It's never been
00:29:17.940 true yet.
00:29:18.500 So here's the
00:29:19.900 thing that's
00:29:20.440 never been
00:29:20.900 true even
00:29:21.420 once, but it
00:29:23.360 gets reported
00:29:23.900 once a month
00:29:24.520 forever.
00:29:25.840 There's a
00:29:26.500 gigantic
00:29:26.920 breakthrough in
00:29:27.700 cancer treatment.
00:29:30.900 Now, I get
00:29:31.960 that the cancer
00:29:33.060 people have
00:29:33.700 actually made
00:29:34.320 amazing strides
00:29:35.540 in a number of
00:29:36.700 different cancers,
00:29:37.520 so there's been
00:29:38.160 quite a bit of
00:29:39.140 progress.
00:29:39.480 cancer cells.
00:29:40.420 But the major
00:29:42.040 breakthrough, the
00:29:42.880 one that gets
00:29:43.340 all the cancers,
00:29:45.060 we're always
00:29:45.560 hearing that
00:29:45.980 that's a week
00:29:47.580 away.
00:29:48.540 Never is.
00:29:49.760 No.
00:29:50.320 Nope.
00:29:51.360 But this one is
00:29:52.880 interesting, more
00:29:53.780 interesting than
00:29:54.380 most.
00:29:55.240 So scientists at
00:29:56.040 the UC Davis
00:29:56.980 Comprehensive Cancer
00:29:58.760 Center in Sacramento,
00:30:00.380 they think they
00:30:01.340 found this thing
00:30:02.100 called the CD95
00:30:03.340 receptor that can
00:30:05.420 program a cancer
00:30:06.420 cell to die.
00:30:07.140 In other words,
00:30:09.060 there might be a
00:30:09.800 common element to
00:30:11.140 all cancers that's
00:30:12.660 a kill switch.
00:30:15.120 Now, all the
00:30:16.000 other treatments
00:30:16.800 have not looked
00:30:17.600 for a kill switch,
00:30:18.540 they've looked for
00:30:19.040 a weakness.
00:30:20.080 I mean, this is my
00:30:21.120 non-scientist
00:30:22.440 explanation.
00:30:23.540 They've looked for
00:30:24.140 weaknesses they
00:30:24.980 can exploit, but
00:30:26.500 they never found a
00:30:27.220 kill switch.
00:30:28.540 Like, if you just
00:30:29.360 tweak this thing,
00:30:30.360 boom, it just
00:30:30.900 turns off.
00:30:32.780 Now, they don't
00:30:33.560 have any, apparently
00:30:34.760 they don't have any
00:30:35.480 treatments.
00:30:37.140 They will turn it
00:30:37.760 off, but they
00:30:39.160 think that's
00:30:40.260 potentially possible.
00:30:42.800 Now, here's even
00:30:44.740 the reason I'm
00:30:45.380 telling you this
00:30:45.840 story at all,
00:30:46.780 because it falls
00:30:47.320 into the category
00:30:48.060 of things that
00:30:49.380 they get real
00:30:49.900 excited about
00:30:50.620 because it cured
00:30:51.220 a mouse, and
00:30:52.620 then it just
00:30:53.140 doesn't work in
00:30:53.720 a person.
00:30:54.780 I mean, you've
00:30:55.240 seen that a
00:30:55.700 billion times,
00:30:56.460 which is typical.
00:30:57.780 Most of the
00:30:58.440 mouse studies do
00:30:59.400 not actually
00:31:00.060 translate into
00:31:00.840 humans.
00:31:01.820 It's better than
00:31:02.460 not doing a
00:31:03.000 mouse study.
00:31:04.280 You know, if it
00:31:04.700 fails in the
00:31:05.260 mouse study, you're
00:31:05.900 probably done.
00:31:06.380 But humans just
00:31:08.420 don't work like
00:31:09.060 mice enough to
00:31:10.960 think it's going
00:31:11.460 to work because
00:31:12.060 it worked in a
00:31:12.600 mouse.
00:31:14.860 But here's my
00:31:15.820 question.
00:31:17.160 If you were to
00:31:17.960 look at the, let's
00:31:18.860 say, the machinery
00:31:19.640 of cancer, if you
00:31:21.640 treat the cancer
00:31:22.380 cell like it's a
00:31:23.480 really complicated
00:31:24.860 machine, if you're
00:31:27.300 a human being and
00:31:28.380 you're trying to
00:31:28.940 figure out the
00:31:29.740 machine, how many
00:31:31.720 decades did it
00:31:32.660 take us to find
00:31:34.080 that there's a
00:31:34.820 CD95 receptor?
00:31:37.200 Like it took
00:31:37.880 forever and it
00:31:38.580 might have even
00:31:39.000 been an accident.
00:31:39.820 I don't know.
00:31:40.420 Maybe they just
00:31:41.040 stumbled on it.
00:31:42.240 But how many
00:31:42.720 complications are
00:31:44.220 there in a cell,
00:31:46.000 a cancer cell?
00:31:47.200 If you imagine it
00:31:48.160 like a machine,
00:31:49.780 because it is kind
00:31:50.420 of a biological
00:31:51.000 machine with
00:31:51.840 parts, it may be
00:31:54.500 too complicated that
00:31:55.500 a human could even
00:31:57.060 know how to get
00:31:57.660 their head around
00:31:58.240 it.
00:31:59.220 But what about
00:31:59.720 AI?
00:32:00.120 Do you think
00:32:01.840 AI could look at
00:32:02.800 a bunch of
00:32:03.300 cancer cells in
00:32:04.880 a bunch of
00:32:05.320 different situations
00:32:06.120 and then use
00:32:07.220 its advanced
00:32:07.900 pattern recognition
00:32:09.080 and maybe the
00:32:11.280 visual kind as
00:32:12.080 opposed to the
00:32:12.580 word kind?
00:32:14.880 Could it
00:32:15.440 determine the
00:32:16.580 mechanism that
00:32:18.240 makes the
00:32:18.660 machine work
00:32:19.480 simply by seeing
00:32:21.120 lots of examples
00:32:22.080 of a cancer cell
00:32:23.400 working?
00:32:24.420 So you put it
00:32:25.000 in lots of
00:32:25.440 different situations
00:32:26.280 and watch how
00:32:27.120 it works.
00:32:28.040 You see what
00:32:28.580 changes.
00:32:29.100 And maybe
00:32:29.960 you look for
00:32:30.340 a pattern.
00:32:32.340 I don't know.
00:32:33.680 But I wonder if
00:32:35.060 pattern recognition
00:32:36.000 could get you to
00:32:37.140 understanding the
00:32:38.160 machinery of a
00:32:39.140 cell.
00:32:40.460 If you could see
00:32:41.420 enough parts of
00:32:42.380 it working.
00:32:44.320 Too complicated
00:32:45.120 for a human,
00:32:46.080 but too complicated
00:32:47.140 for, I don't
00:32:48.980 know, a quantum
00:32:49.760 computer with
00:32:50.600 AI.
00:32:51.580 I don't know.
00:32:53.560 So just something
00:32:54.660 to think about.
00:32:57.080 All right.
00:32:57.760 How about that
00:32:59.040 2024 election?
00:33:02.620 So Rasmussen did
00:33:03.900 a poll, said 53%
00:33:05.160 of likely voters
00:33:05.980 think the economy
00:33:06.740 has gotten worse
00:33:07.440 under Biden.
00:33:09.020 Well, 30% say the
00:33:10.240 economy has gotten
00:33:10.940 better.
00:33:11.740 How in the world
00:33:12.560 can you get
00:33:13.120 re-elected if more
00:33:15.340 than half of the
00:33:16.000 people think the
00:33:16.660 economy got worse
00:33:17.520 under you?
00:33:18.840 Now, of course,
00:33:20.400 everything's unfair
00:33:21.440 because the
00:33:22.820 pandemic just
00:33:25.620 changed all the
00:33:26.300 economics of
00:33:27.000 things.
00:33:27.680 So you can't
00:33:28.780 really give him
00:33:29.440 credit for the
00:33:30.220 increase in
00:33:30.760 employment because
00:33:31.560 that was going to
00:33:32.040 happen naturally.
00:33:33.360 You can't really
00:33:34.080 fault him for the
00:33:35.280 economy not being
00:33:36.080 as good as it was
00:33:37.000 before the pandemic.
00:33:39.420 There are pretty
00:33:39.760 good reasons for
00:33:40.460 that.
00:33:41.400 But in terms of
00:33:42.640 how people react
00:33:43.600 and vote, how in
00:33:45.480 the world can he
00:33:46.180 get elected when
00:33:48.220 more than half of
00:33:48.980 the country thinks
00:33:49.700 he made the
00:33:50.160 economy worse or
00:33:51.380 he didn't make it
00:33:51.980 better?
00:33:54.040 Well, yeah, I'd
00:33:55.640 be worried about
00:33:56.160 those, worried
00:33:58.420 about election
00:33:58.980 integrity.
00:34:01.980 But related to
00:34:03.480 this and also
00:34:04.120 Rasmussen, if you
00:34:05.360 don't follow the
00:34:06.380 Rasmussen account,
00:34:09.160 they're very active
00:34:10.340 in running down
00:34:11.600 all the various
00:34:12.620 allegations about
00:34:14.180 2020 and what
00:34:15.540 evidence there is
00:34:16.560 that has not been
00:34:18.060 debunked.
00:34:18.940 And it is a whole
00:34:20.420 different world
00:34:21.280 when you look at
00:34:22.720 their claims,
00:34:24.000 which, by the
00:34:24.820 way, are always
00:34:25.600 backed with
00:34:26.120 documents.
00:34:27.720 Everything Rasmussen
00:34:28.780 said about the
00:34:29.540 election, they
00:34:30.760 print the document,
00:34:32.400 they point to the
00:34:33.520 paragraph that
00:34:34.660 matters to their
00:34:35.400 point.
00:34:36.780 You can see it
00:34:37.340 yourself.
00:34:38.340 So there are
00:34:39.160 still a bunch of
00:34:40.640 things going on.
00:34:41.780 I'm kind of lost
00:34:42.660 in it.
00:34:43.580 But I'll tell you
00:34:44.300 this world of we
00:34:46.760 almost have the
00:34:47.540 Kraken is completely
00:34:49.720 different from the
00:34:50.460 other world.
00:34:51.900 In the other
00:34:52.440 world, everything's
00:34:56.460 been debunked.
00:34:57.980 And it's just
00:34:58.680 done.
00:34:59.660 Do you know the
00:35:00.060 story about the,
00:35:00.920 I've told this a
00:35:01.880 bunch of times,
00:35:02.840 there's an
00:35:03.480 allegation that
00:35:04.240 there's a locked
00:35:04.980 closet with 150,000
00:35:06.860 ballots that are
00:35:07.480 fake ballots.
00:35:08.820 And that the
00:35:09.900 courts wouldn't
00:35:10.700 open the thing,
00:35:11.660 but it went to a
00:35:12.200 higher court, and
00:35:12.920 they said, yes,
00:35:13.420 you've got to open
00:35:13.980 it up, but the
00:35:14.960 lower court is
00:35:15.580 dawdling.
00:35:15.900 But if they
00:35:16.780 could open up
00:35:17.280 that door, you
00:35:18.860 could see that the
00:35:19.840 ballots were or
00:35:20.720 were not fake.
00:35:23.080 But then I read
00:35:24.000 the Atlanta
00:35:24.660 Constitution, and
00:35:26.280 it says, oh,
00:35:26.920 that's an old
00:35:27.660 claim, and they've
00:35:29.140 already looked at
00:35:29.700 all the ballots,
00:35:30.300 and the ballots
00:35:30.680 were fine.
00:35:32.620 Those two things
00:35:33.540 can't be the same.
00:35:35.060 They've either
00:35:35.600 looked at all
00:35:36.240 these questionable
00:35:36.860 ballots and found
00:35:37.700 no problem, which
00:35:39.240 is in the
00:35:39.660 newspaper, or the
00:35:42.400 court is doing
00:35:43.480 something that
00:35:44.040 doesn't make any
00:35:44.680 sense, which is
00:35:45.980 trying to look
00:35:46.660 for those same
00:35:48.020 ballots that have
00:35:48.760 already been
00:35:49.220 checked in a
00:35:50.240 room.
00:35:51.120 Is it exactly
00:35:52.040 150,000 in both
00:35:53.460 cases, but it's
00:35:54.200 two different
00:35:54.720 cases?
00:35:55.560 I don't understand
00:35:56.480 what's going on.
00:35:58.960 I cannot figure
00:36:01.760 out how to
00:36:02.760 combine those two
00:36:03.660 realities even by
00:36:05.400 explaining that one
00:36:06.360 has the wrong
00:36:06.940 information and one
00:36:07.740 has the right
00:36:08.240 information.
00:36:09.420 Like, they're just
00:36:10.300 so different worlds
00:36:11.280 right now.
00:36:12.300 And I don't know
00:36:13.680 what to make of
00:36:14.140 it.
00:36:14.680 So I'll tell you
00:36:15.640 my general
00:36:16.340 advice.
00:36:17.720 For every
00:36:18.380 specific claim,
00:36:20.420 the odds of it
00:36:21.120 being true are
00:36:21.800 vanishingly small.
00:36:24.360 But there's a
00:36:25.260 lot of activity
00:36:26.220 going on.
00:36:27.560 The odds of
00:36:28.380 all of it being
00:36:29.600 untrue?
00:36:31.600 Well, here I
00:36:32.960 would go back to
00:36:33.620 my general
00:36:34.180 statement that
00:36:35.400 every one of
00:36:36.080 our American
00:36:36.840 institutions has
00:36:37.960 shown itself to
00:36:38.960 be corrupt
00:36:39.540 just recently.
00:36:42.020 It's not even
00:36:42.700 historical, but
00:36:43.900 in the last
00:36:44.720 few years, you
00:36:46.280 found everything
00:36:46.860 from the
00:36:47.320 Department of
00:36:47.900 Justice, the
00:36:48.640 FBI, the
00:36:49.460 CIA, the
00:36:51.020 FDA, the
00:36:52.520 CDC, the
00:36:53.600 World Health
00:36:54.440 Organization, if
00:36:55.480 you go outside
00:36:55.980 of America.
00:36:58.160 Am I right?
00:36:59.440 We found
00:36:59.980 everything from
00:37:00.700 science to
00:37:02.740 Congress.
00:37:03.920 Every bit of it
00:37:04.960 is corrupt in
00:37:06.100 really, really
00:37:06.840 substantial ways.
00:37:07.900 So what are
00:37:09.420 the odds that
00:37:09.940 the elections in
00:37:10.840 all 50 states
00:37:11.720 were pristine?
00:37:13.560 Close to
00:37:14.260 zero.
00:37:15.560 Now, that
00:37:16.380 doesn't mean that
00:37:16.960 there was enough
00:37:17.560 fraud to
00:37:18.480 overchange the
00:37:20.420 result.
00:37:21.280 I have no
00:37:21.740 information about
00:37:22.660 that to support
00:37:24.440 that theory.
00:37:26.000 But there's a lot
00:37:27.060 going on there in
00:37:28.140 a sketchy domain.
00:37:29.600 So I'm going to
00:37:30.840 say the claims are
00:37:32.380 still alive, but I
00:37:34.980 could not put any
00:37:35.940 kind of likelihood
00:37:36.920 on them based on
00:37:37.880 the facts.
00:37:39.660 I will default to
00:37:41.620 my three-act play
00:37:42.920 model of
00:37:43.700 prediction.
00:37:45.020 And the third
00:37:45.640 act model says
00:37:46.960 that even though
00:37:48.280 the evidence is
00:37:49.380 unclear, that
00:37:51.540 reality is going
00:37:52.600 to start solidifying
00:37:54.300 toward finding a
00:37:56.160 kraken right
00:37:57.020 before the
00:37:57.520 election.
00:37:58.800 And it turns out
00:37:59.500 that at least one
00:38:00.280 of these cases, I
00:38:01.480 think the Georgia
00:38:02.120 one,
00:38:02.440 something substantial
00:38:06.020 might be decided
00:38:07.120 in the world of
00:38:08.600 the 2020 election
00:38:09.780 before Trump has
00:38:12.200 his trial about
00:38:13.440 whether his claims
00:38:14.360 about the election
00:38:15.140 he knew they were
00:38:16.560 fake.
00:38:18.500 So the timing is
00:38:19.760 now, as I
00:38:20.880 predicted, the
00:38:22.220 timing is now
00:38:22.960 lined up correctly
00:38:24.000 that we'll know
00:38:25.280 something about the
00:38:26.160 election of 2020.
00:38:27.960 It may be
00:38:28.720 perfectly fine.
00:38:29.700 We might find that
00:38:30.380 out.
00:38:30.880 But the timing is
00:38:31.680 lined up so we've
00:38:32.420 found that out
00:38:33.000 before Trump
00:38:34.640 is called into
00:38:35.560 account for
00:38:37.060 anything he did
00:38:37.920 because of his
00:38:39.520 belief that there
00:38:41.020 was fraud.
00:38:42.580 It's looking too
00:38:43.700 perfect at the
00:38:44.580 moment.
00:38:50.560 Aaron says to
00:38:51.740 me, yeah, you're
00:38:53.140 too smart for
00:38:53.860 QAnon, but you'd
00:38:55.320 readily vote for
00:38:56.160 the LARP Q
00:38:57.520 shaman in Arizona
00:38:58.680 business we live
00:38:59.480 in.
00:38:59.660 Yes, I would.
00:39:03.220 Was there a point
00:39:03.920 you had to make?
00:39:06.100 I see the anger
00:39:08.040 and the sarcasm,
00:39:09.660 but I don't see
00:39:10.320 the point.
00:39:12.240 You're just saying
00:39:12.960 what I said, that I
00:39:14.280 would vote for him
00:39:14.940 and I don't believe
00:39:16.560 QAnon.
00:39:19.560 Is there a problem
00:39:20.280 with that?
00:39:21.300 Is there some
00:39:22.040 conflict with that?
00:39:23.620 I didn't say that
00:39:25.680 he'd be a great
00:39:26.220 congressperson.
00:39:27.960 Did you hear
00:39:28.560 something I didn't
00:39:29.220 say?
00:39:30.340 I didn't say that
00:39:31.240 he would do
00:39:31.660 policies that I
00:39:32.580 love.
00:39:33.800 I never said
00:39:34.540 that.
00:39:36.500 Yeah, drunk in
00:39:37.260 the morning I
00:39:37.780 think.
00:39:40.800 All right,
00:39:42.000 also in the
00:39:43.340 Erasmus and
00:39:43.980 universe,
00:39:45.340 there are some
00:39:46.760 Wisconsin election
00:39:47.720 machines and
00:39:52.760 there's a document
00:39:53.640 that shows a
00:39:54.740 claim that
00:39:55.380 somebody was
00:39:56.180 going to make
00:39:56.780 sure that they
00:39:57.360 kept the
00:39:58.320 important ones
00:39:59.080 connected to the
00:40:00.000 internet with a
00:40:01.480 secret connection.
00:40:05.360 Now, that one
00:40:06.860 actually looks too
00:40:07.700 on the nose for
00:40:08.480 me, that it's in
00:40:10.260 writing, you know,
00:40:11.440 that looks like a
00:40:11.940 real document, and
00:40:13.240 that somebody was
00:40:13.920 going to keep
00:40:14.800 secret internet
00:40:15.620 connections to
00:40:16.440 some machines.
00:40:18.000 Like, that's just
00:40:18.980 too on the nose.
00:40:20.740 If I had to
00:40:21.360 guess, and it
00:40:22.720 would only be a
00:40:23.260 guess, it might
00:40:24.640 be true that
00:40:26.120 there was really a
00:40:26.780 techie who said
00:40:27.460 we'll keep these
00:40:28.100 important ones
00:40:28.720 connected to the
00:40:29.440 internet, but that
00:40:30.520 doesn't mean that
00:40:31.320 they connected them
00:40:32.180 to the internet to
00:40:34.040 cheat.
00:40:35.140 It could be they
00:40:36.060 connected them to
00:40:36.940 the internet for
00:40:37.600 some kind of
00:40:38.080 test that was
00:40:39.260 temporary.
00:40:40.280 I don't know.
00:40:41.660 I don't know.
00:40:43.300 So, I don't
00:40:44.100 know what, I
00:40:44.600 don't even know
00:40:44.960 how to score
00:40:45.820 this one for
00:40:46.540 its likelihood.
00:40:48.060 There's just so
00:40:48.660 much going on in
00:40:49.460 this election
00:40:50.020 domain.
00:40:51.580 But again,
00:40:52.360 remember, at
00:40:53.360 least 90% of
00:40:54.860 everything you
00:40:55.400 hear about these
00:40:56.160 elections will be
00:40:57.760 debunked.
00:40:58.800 You can guarantee
00:40:59.460 that.
00:41:00.280 Even if there's
00:41:00.880 anything true,
00:41:02.200 most will be
00:41:03.020 BS.
00:41:06.600 All right.
00:41:08.120 Greta Thunberg,
00:41:10.280 so you all know
00:41:11.460 her, famous
00:41:12.220 climate science
00:41:13.520 advocate, was
00:41:14.780 at an event and
00:41:16.000 another climate
00:41:19.240 protester who you
00:41:20.520 would think would
00:41:20.980 be on her side
00:41:21.720 came on stage and
00:41:23.540 took the mic away
00:41:24.340 from her because
00:41:25.780 she kept talking
00:41:27.680 about Gaza and
00:41:30.820 he was like,
00:41:31.360 we're here to talk
00:41:32.160 about climate.
00:41:33.380 This is not for
00:41:34.240 you to talk about
00:41:34.860 Gaza.
00:41:36.360 So that was fun.
00:41:39.620 watching the
00:41:41.160 climate people
00:41:41.880 hate on each
00:41:42.920 other.
00:41:47.640 Cornel West
00:41:48.680 making news.
00:41:51.280 So despite the
00:41:52.080 fact that
00:41:52.600 Cornel West
00:41:53.340 says directly
00:41:54.460 that he loves
00:41:56.500 all of his
00:41:57.080 Jewish brothers
00:41:58.100 and sisters,
00:41:59.780 he still calls
00:42:00.880 the situation
00:42:02.020 over there
00:42:02.480 an occupation.
00:42:04.700 And here's
00:42:05.600 what I call
00:42:06.000 word thinking.
00:42:06.680 Oh, wow.
00:42:16.400 So word
00:42:17.220 thinking thinks
00:42:18.480 you can win
00:42:19.160 the argument
00:42:19.680 if you get
00:42:20.340 people to agree
00:42:21.480 with your
00:42:22.300 word.
00:42:23.820 So that's
00:42:24.220 what this is.
00:42:25.220 So Cornel West
00:42:25.940 is not engaged
00:42:26.880 in anything like
00:42:27.860 reason or
00:42:29.560 debate.
00:42:30.920 He's trying to
00:42:31.620 win by getting
00:42:32.540 you to think
00:42:33.080 that his use
00:42:33.820 of a word
00:42:34.460 is the way
00:42:35.380 you should
00:42:35.720 use it
00:42:36.100 too.
00:42:37.420 So he
00:42:38.080 says that
00:42:38.600 Israel is
00:42:39.540 an occupation.
00:42:42.940 What does
00:42:43.460 that mean?
00:42:45.780 Is Gaza
00:42:46.640 occupied?
00:42:47.520 Well, at the
00:42:48.000 moment it is.
00:42:48.880 But was Gaza
00:42:49.500 occupied when
00:42:50.560 Israel pulled
00:42:51.940 out?
00:42:53.580 Does he mean
00:42:54.360 that?
00:42:57.300 And what does
00:42:58.180 occupied mean
00:42:59.120 if you have
00:42:59.880 a society
00:43:00.700 in which
00:43:01.880 some people
00:43:03.060 like how it's
00:43:03.660 going and
00:43:04.080 some don't?
00:43:05.380 it's like
00:43:06.740 everybody's
00:43:07.240 occupied.
00:43:09.340 So that word
00:43:10.120 occupation is
00:43:10.920 doing way
00:43:11.360 too much
00:43:11.680 lifting.
00:43:13.700 And he's
00:43:14.200 getting all
00:43:14.540 the pushback
00:43:15.040 you would
00:43:15.340 imagine.
00:43:17.140 So, yeah,
00:43:18.300 a lot of
00:43:18.660 pushback on
00:43:19.200 that.
00:43:20.180 Now he
00:43:20.540 also uses
00:43:21.300 apartheid.
00:43:24.540 So those
00:43:25.160 would be the
00:43:25.920 two most,
00:43:27.720 let's say,
00:43:28.440 disputed words
00:43:29.380 in this
00:43:30.060 situation.
00:43:30.520 But the
00:43:31.920 biggest problem
00:43:33.020 he makes
00:43:33.620 is trying
00:43:34.740 to conflate
00:43:35.480 all this
00:43:35.940 stuff.
00:43:37.640 I'm going
00:43:38.120 to say it
00:43:38.400 again.
00:43:39.640 I judged
00:43:40.560 the October
00:43:41.180 7th event
00:43:42.680 like it was
00:43:44.160 the beginning
00:43:44.640 of history.
00:43:45.420 It wasn't.
00:43:46.860 And things
00:43:47.320 that happened
00:43:47.660 before matter.
00:43:49.200 But not to
00:43:49.880 this.
00:43:51.520 Not to
00:43:51.920 this.
00:43:52.280 The actual
00:43:55.840 attack on
00:43:56.460 October 7th
00:43:57.700 requires a
00:43:59.100 strong response
00:44:00.160 that has
00:44:00.820 nothing to
00:44:01.280 do with
00:44:01.540 anything that
00:44:02.040 ever came
00:44:02.440 before.
00:44:03.320 So I
00:44:03.900 refused to
00:44:04.560 act like
00:44:05.660 the history
00:44:06.720 had anything
00:44:07.320 to do with
00:44:07.780 anything.
00:44:09.380 And I
00:44:10.040 ask you
00:44:10.380 this question.
00:44:12.120 Given that
00:44:12.880 the Palestinians
00:44:13.480 have a
00:44:14.140 tremendous
00:44:14.520 amount of
00:44:15.460 support,
00:44:17.160 more support
00:44:17.760 than you
00:44:18.040 thought,
00:44:18.400 right?
00:44:19.480 A lot of
00:44:20.360 you were
00:44:20.560 surprised.
00:44:21.060 Wow.
00:44:21.280 a lot of
00:44:23.460 Palestinian
00:44:24.120 support that
00:44:26.240 you didn't
00:44:26.500 know about.
00:44:27.540 Now, given
00:44:27.920 that they
00:44:28.240 have so
00:44:28.600 much support,
00:44:29.740 which means
00:44:30.540 that their
00:44:30.980 public relations
00:44:32.040 has been
00:44:32.800 successful to
00:44:33.580 some extent,
00:44:35.120 don't you
00:44:35.480 think they
00:44:35.780 could use
00:44:36.180 that level
00:44:36.620 of support
00:44:37.260 to really
00:44:38.380 highlight the
00:44:39.280 specific
00:44:39.960 complaints
00:44:40.740 that Cornel
00:44:42.180 West would
00:44:42.840 call occupation
00:44:43.820 or apartheid?
00:44:47.740 What would
00:44:48.160 be an
00:44:49.060 example?
00:44:50.120 And if
00:44:50.640 they could
00:44:50.960 give an
00:44:51.300 example,
00:44:52.820 could they
00:44:53.240 give a
00:44:54.060 specific
00:44:54.560 solution?
00:44:56.320 So one
00:44:56.800 of the
00:44:57.240 cases might
00:44:57.840 be our
00:44:59.420 water rights
00:45:00.260 were taken
00:45:01.420 over by
00:45:01.980 Israeli
00:45:02.440 farmers,
00:45:03.200 something like
00:45:03.560 that,
00:45:04.320 some ordinary
00:45:04.980 thing like
00:45:05.520 that.
00:45:06.620 But what
00:45:07.820 was the
00:45:08.100 alternative?
00:45:09.860 You need to
00:45:10.580 know a little
00:45:10.980 bit about that.
00:45:12.100 Was there
00:45:12.540 a legitimate
00:45:13.580 claim?
00:45:15.240 Was the
00:45:15.760 water not
00:45:16.460 being used,
00:45:17.260 used, but
00:45:18.060 it could
00:45:18.400 be used
00:45:18.960 productively
00:45:19.640 over here?
00:45:20.480 Was there
00:45:20.840 any court
00:45:21.420 case about
00:45:22.020 it?
00:45:22.320 I mean,
00:45:22.520 there's a
00:45:22.760 lot to
00:45:23.060 know before
00:45:24.440 you can
00:45:24.780 say if
00:45:25.180 something's
00:45:25.660 an occupation
00:45:27.320 or simply
00:45:28.020 the way
00:45:28.480 things made
00:45:29.260 sense at
00:45:29.740 the time.
00:45:32.040 So the
00:45:34.160 dog not
00:45:34.740 barking
00:45:35.080 here, and
00:45:35.840 I'll say
00:45:36.140 it a million
00:45:36.520 times, is
00:45:37.860 if there's
00:45:38.360 really a
00:45:39.000 Palestinian
00:45:39.480 set of
00:45:40.100 complaints
00:45:40.660 that would
00:45:41.420 go under
00:45:41.860 the title
00:45:42.440 and
00:45:42.700 occupation
00:45:43.320 and an
00:45:44.500 apartheid,
00:45:46.380 give us
00:45:46.740 examples.
00:45:48.740 Give us
00:45:49.120 real examples.
00:45:50.780 And then
00:45:51.060 maybe it
00:45:52.020 would look
00:45:52.340 to us
00:45:52.860 like, oh
00:45:53.460 wow, they
00:45:54.400 actually have
00:45:54.960 some real
00:45:55.760 political
00:45:56.320 complaints
00:45:56.860 here.
00:45:57.700 Maybe we
00:45:58.060 should take
00:45:58.400 this seriously.
00:46:00.220 But if
00:46:00.760 on the
00:46:01.080 back of
00:46:01.580 Hamas's
00:46:02.460 incredible
00:46:03.320 terrorist
00:46:04.000 attack, you're
00:46:05.380 trying to
00:46:05.780 push this
00:46:06.360 vague notion
00:46:07.740 that there's
00:46:09.260 badness going
00:46:10.120 on with no
00:46:10.740 examples, it
00:46:12.420 doesn't sound
00:46:12.920 like anything
00:46:13.440 useful.
00:46:14.600 And it
00:46:14.880 makes the
00:46:15.220 entire
00:46:15.660 Palestinian
00:46:16.560 narrative look
00:46:17.800 like it's
00:46:18.200 not real.
00:46:20.580 Would you
00:46:21.260 agree?
00:46:22.780 That the
00:46:23.480 fact that
00:46:24.120 these allegedly
00:46:25.920 legitimate
00:46:26.860 complaints are
00:46:28.200 completely
00:46:28.940 ignored, while
00:46:31.120 there seems
00:46:31.520 to be a
00:46:31.920 little bit
00:46:32.320 too much,
00:46:33.100 let's say,
00:46:34.820 too much
00:46:35.200 understanding
00:46:35.960 of why
00:46:36.620 something like
00:46:38.020 the Hamas
00:46:38.480 situation could
00:46:39.300 occur, maybe
00:46:41.040 that's giving
00:46:41.500 that a little
00:46:41.940 bit too
00:46:42.300 much, too
00:46:44.420 much
00:46:44.780 credibility.
00:46:47.760 So, and
00:46:49.900 then I'll
00:46:50.460 remind my
00:46:51.260 audience that
00:46:52.040 I'm not
00:46:52.440 trying to be
00:46:53.000 objective about
00:46:54.020 the Israel
00:46:55.780 and Gaza
00:46:56.400 situation.
00:46:58.060 So, unlike
00:46:58.900 some other
00:46:59.740 topics where
00:47:00.340 I'm really
00:47:00.680 trying to
00:47:01.200 make an
00:47:03.120 effort to
00:47:04.200 show both
00:47:04.640 sides before
00:47:05.320 I give you
00:47:05.720 an opinion,
00:47:06.680 I'm not
00:47:07.320 going to do
00:47:07.640 that in this
00:47:08.060 case, not
00:47:10.120 at all.
00:47:11.120 I'm backing
00:47:11.940 the team that
00:47:12.660 wouldn't kill
00:47:13.220 me if they
00:47:14.780 had a chance.
00:47:16.900 Is that
00:47:17.520 fair?
00:47:18.440 I'm telling
00:47:19.100 you this
00:47:19.420 directly.
00:47:20.800 The Jews
00:47:21.380 aren't going
00:47:21.760 to kill me
00:47:22.360 if they had
00:47:23.340 an opportunity.
00:47:26.540 Right?
00:47:27.560 But Hamas,
00:47:28.640 they would
00:47:29.060 kill me if
00:47:30.340 they had an
00:47:30.700 opportunity.
00:47:31.880 So it's not
00:47:32.560 like there's,
00:47:34.100 you know, I
00:47:34.580 don't recognize
00:47:35.380 two sides.
00:47:36.520 There's my
00:47:37.080 side, people
00:47:38.780 who would
00:47:39.340 even protect
00:47:40.440 me.
00:47:41.400 You know, it
00:47:41.660 would be easy
00:47:42.140 to imagine,
00:47:43.740 you know, the
00:47:44.180 Jewish population
00:47:45.040 being protective
00:47:45.940 of the American
00:47:46.740 population if
00:47:47.600 the opportunity
00:47:48.420 came up,
00:47:49.280 easily.
00:47:50.980 But I don't
00:47:51.800 see Hamas
00:47:52.420 protecting me if
00:47:53.280 the opportunity
00:47:53.780 came up.
00:47:54.720 So I'm just
00:47:55.180 taking, I'm
00:47:56.720 not even looking
00:47:57.260 at it politically.
00:47:58.480 I'm just
00:47:59.040 taking sides
00:47:59.720 with the group
00:48:01.700 that's on my
00:48:02.220 side.
00:48:03.320 And that's
00:48:03.660 it.
00:48:04.560 So don't ask
00:48:05.200 me to
00:48:05.520 consider the
00:48:06.600 history.
00:48:07.960 I don't
00:48:08.320 care.
00:48:09.180 I don't care
00:48:09.880 about any
00:48:10.240 of their
00:48:10.420 history.
00:48:11.400 I care about
00:48:12.400 backing the
00:48:13.120 side that's
00:48:13.520 on my
00:48:13.840 side.
00:48:14.640 That's it.
00:48:16.680 All right.
00:48:19.240 Vivek has
00:48:19.980 an interesting
00:48:20.500 idea for
00:48:21.140 firing government
00:48:21.960 employees because
00:48:22.700 he wants to
00:48:23.240 reduce the
00:48:24.380 number of
00:48:24.880 employees.
00:48:26.660 He said,
00:48:28.260 and this is
00:48:28.660 really clever,
00:48:29.740 so listen to
00:48:30.200 this.
00:48:30.700 So Vivek says,
00:48:31.880 the number
00:48:32.220 one obstacle
00:48:32.840 to stop
00:48:33.320 Trump from
00:48:34.060 firing the
00:48:34.720 bureaucrats,
00:48:35.680 the civil
00:48:36.200 service people,
00:48:37.720 is because they
00:48:38.240 had too much
00:48:39.160 protection.
00:48:40.500 So if you
00:48:41.020 fired a bunch
00:48:41.620 of civil
00:48:42.020 servants,
00:48:42.680 you could
00:48:43.060 expect that
00:48:44.580 some gigantic
00:48:45.620 number of
00:48:46.140 them would
00:48:46.460 file suits
00:48:47.240 and say,
00:48:48.240 the only
00:48:48.480 reason you
00:48:48.960 got rid of
00:48:49.440 me is because
00:48:50.020 I'm black
00:48:50.760 or gay or
00:48:51.460 whatever it
00:48:51.860 is.
00:48:52.680 And then
00:48:53.000 even if it's
00:48:53.800 not true,
00:48:55.940 maybe in some
00:48:56.900 cases it would
00:48:57.540 be true,
00:48:58.400 but in any
00:48:59.040 case you'd
00:48:59.480 have too
00:49:00.440 many lawsuits.
00:49:01.120 So it
00:49:02.780 just isn't
00:49:03.220 practical.
00:49:04.700 Here's
00:49:05.060 Vivek's
00:49:05.500 idea.
00:49:07.760 Fire 50%
00:49:09.100 of federal
00:49:09.580 bureaucrats
00:49:10.160 immediately using
00:49:11.700 any neutral
00:49:12.860 metric.
00:49:14.420 For example,
00:49:15.640 if your
00:49:16.020 social security
00:49:17.080 number ends
00:49:17.720 in an odd
00:49:18.220 number,
00:49:18.640 you're fired.
00:49:21.720 Because nobody
00:49:22.780 can say that
00:49:23.480 discrimination
00:49:24.040 wasn't involved
00:49:25.080 because there's
00:49:27.040 randomness to
00:49:27.900 who has what
00:49:28.440 social security
00:49:29.200 numbers.
00:49:29.600 Now,
00:49:33.480 is that a
00:49:34.480 good idea
00:49:35.140 or a bad
00:49:36.780 idea?
00:49:40.340 I actually
00:49:41.120 can't tell.
00:49:42.520 But here's
00:49:43.240 what I like
00:49:43.740 about it.
00:49:45.200 It's outside
00:49:45.800 the box.
00:49:46.760 He just
00:49:47.040 picked up the
00:49:48.320 box and
00:49:48.680 just shook
00:49:49.100 the piss
00:49:49.480 out of it.
00:49:50.720 How much
00:49:51.120 do I like
00:49:51.660 the box
00:49:52.260 shakers?
00:49:53.220 Oh, I
00:49:53.640 like them.
00:49:54.520 I like my
00:49:55.100 box shakers.
00:49:56.340 Yeah, shake
00:49:56.740 that freaking
00:49:57.180 box there,
00:49:58.160 Vivek.
00:49:59.600 Now, I
00:50:01.320 put this
00:50:01.780 in the
00:50:02.040 category of
00:50:03.000 brainstorming,
00:50:04.520 and the
00:50:05.620 concept I've
00:50:06.860 taught you a
00:50:07.440 million times,
00:50:08.180 which is
00:50:08.480 sometimes the
00:50:09.260 bad idea
00:50:09.980 will get you
00:50:11.320 closer to the
00:50:12.000 good idea,
00:50:12.620 because it
00:50:12.940 shakes up the
00:50:13.660 way you're
00:50:13.940 thinking about
00:50:14.540 it.
00:50:15.160 This is such
00:50:15.960 a radical
00:50:16.560 departure from
00:50:17.520 the way
00:50:17.800 government has
00:50:18.460 ever done
00:50:18.820 anything,
00:50:19.780 that it
00:50:20.280 suddenly opens
00:50:20.920 up your
00:50:21.260 brain.
00:50:22.260 You go,
00:50:22.560 wait a minute,
00:50:22.940 wait a minute.
00:50:23.460 If you can
00:50:23.940 go that far
00:50:24.900 out of the
00:50:25.560 ordinary,
00:50:27.420 maybe you
00:50:29.200 could go
00:50:29.480 out of the
00:50:29.800 ordinary in
00:50:30.840 another way.
00:50:32.380 Maybe I've
00:50:33.060 got a better
00:50:33.480 idea to go
00:50:34.140 outside the
00:50:34.600 ordinary.
00:50:35.440 So this
00:50:36.400 is yet
00:50:37.420 another case
00:50:38.120 of Vivek
00:50:38.880 making the
00:50:40.560 country a
00:50:41.080 better place
00:50:41.620 without yet
00:50:42.180 being elected.
00:50:43.840 Just the
00:50:44.360 fact that he
00:50:45.060 put this
00:50:45.920 into the
00:50:46.360 public mind
00:50:47.840 is freaking
00:50:49.520 awesome.
00:50:50.960 Right?
00:50:51.420 You could end
00:50:52.360 up not liking
00:50:53.220 it.
00:50:53.560 There might be
00:50:53.940 an argument
00:50:54.340 against it.
00:50:55.240 I'm sure
00:50:55.520 there is.
00:50:56.800 But wow.
00:50:58.400 I mean,
00:50:58.680 he's making
00:50:59.260 us smarter
00:50:59.900 before he's
00:51:01.580 elected.
00:51:02.500 The fact that
00:51:03.420 you now have
00:51:04.120 this in your
00:51:04.560 head as one
00:51:05.300 of the things
00:51:05.820 that you could
00:51:06.240 offer as an
00:51:07.500 idea in a
00:51:08.320 similar situation,
00:51:09.540 he just made
00:51:10.040 you smarter.
00:51:11.340 Like, who else
00:51:11.840 does that?
00:51:13.060 And he kind
00:51:13.560 of owns that
00:51:14.280 thing where he's
00:51:16.240 making things.
00:51:16.900 Well, RFK
00:51:17.800 Jr.
00:51:18.180 too, I would
00:51:18.620 say.
00:51:19.200 I think RFK
00:51:20.280 Jr.
00:51:20.640 is a patriot
00:51:23.000 for making
00:51:23.980 the process
00:51:24.620 better by
00:51:25.660 participating.
00:51:29.060 All right.
00:51:31.860 I saw a
00:51:33.180 DC Drano
00:51:33.940 post.
00:51:36.280 Reuters is
00:51:37.280 reporting that
00:51:38.180 MasterCard is
00:51:40.640 now linking
00:51:42.600 their bonuses
00:51:43.400 of their
00:51:43.920 employees to
00:51:44.820 ESG goals.
00:51:47.300 Or as
00:51:47.840 DC Drano
00:51:48.660 points out,
00:51:50.960 they will
00:51:51.900 get a
00:51:52.240 bonus for
00:51:53.020 avoiding
00:51:53.460 hiring white
00:51:54.500 men.
00:51:56.600 Just think
00:51:57.320 about that.
00:51:58.680 Your employees
00:51:59.380 will get a
00:51:59.960 bonus for
00:52:01.640 how effectively
00:52:03.020 they discriminate
00:52:04.240 against white
00:52:05.040 men in the
00:52:06.740 real world.
00:52:08.160 That's like a
00:52:08.680 real thing.
00:52:10.060 They use
00:52:10.540 different words
00:52:11.160 to describe
00:52:11.820 it, but
00:52:12.400 there's no
00:52:13.040 other way to
00:52:13.620 see it.
00:52:14.000 how is
00:52:17.300 that still
00:52:17.720 okay?
00:52:19.780 Even Black
00:52:20.700 Rock has
00:52:21.700 backed off
00:52:22.360 from pushing
00:52:23.160 ESG because
00:52:23.980 they said it
00:52:24.340 was just
00:52:24.640 poison.
00:52:25.640 Too many
00:52:26.160 people just
00:52:26.620 see it as
00:52:27.000 poison.
00:52:29.220 And somebody's
00:52:30.460 handling your
00:52:31.000 money?
00:52:32.460 The people
00:52:32.780 who help you
00:52:34.420 handle your
00:52:34.900 money?
00:52:36.040 Got this
00:52:36.820 going on?
00:52:38.140 Well, I'll
00:52:38.840 tell you, I
00:52:39.560 would never use
00:52:40.520 MasterCard if I
00:52:41.660 had an option.
00:52:42.180 So I would
00:52:44.080 just use
00:52:44.540 something else.
00:52:45.380 If you have
00:52:45.780 an option, I
00:52:46.460 wouldn't use
00:52:46.820 it.
00:52:48.940 All right.
00:52:53.080 I saw a
00:52:53.940 provocative post
00:52:55.180 today.
00:52:56.480 It's provocative
00:52:57.160 in maybe a
00:52:58.200 slightly different
00:52:58.780 way than you're
00:52:59.340 going to take
00:52:59.760 it.
00:53:00.500 So there was
00:53:01.060 some data that
00:53:01.680 showed that
00:53:02.120 since 1959,
00:53:04.380 so this is
00:53:04.920 basically my
00:53:05.680 lifetime.
00:53:06.420 I was born in
00:53:07.080 57.
00:53:08.160 So basically
00:53:08.860 my lifetime,
00:53:09.640 this is a
00:53:10.580 data that is
00:53:11.920 alleged to
00:53:12.420 be true,
00:53:13.800 that the
00:53:16.240 number of
00:53:16.660 black people
00:53:17.240 killed by
00:53:17.740 white people
00:53:18.440 during my
00:53:19.400 lifetime,
00:53:20.060 murdered,
00:53:20.940 just murdered,
00:53:22.680 53,000.
00:53:25.980 In my
00:53:26.800 lifetime,
00:53:27.540 white people
00:53:28.060 have murdered
00:53:28.880 53,000
00:53:31.520 frickin'
00:53:32.240 black people.
00:53:34.060 Murdered
00:53:34.480 them.
00:53:36.780 At the
00:53:37.520 same time,
00:53:38.660 black people
00:53:39.160 killed 156,000
00:53:41.120 white people.
00:53:45.140 Now, of
00:53:46.140 course, your
00:53:46.620 brain is
00:53:47.020 saying, wait,
00:53:47.680 there are far
00:53:48.120 fewer black
00:53:48.760 people in the
00:53:49.240 world, but
00:53:50.500 they killed
00:53:51.040 three times as
00:53:53.300 many white
00:53:53.720 people as
00:53:54.780 the reverse.
00:53:56.280 So there's
00:53:57.340 going to be a
00:53:57.740 racial element
00:53:58.760 to your
00:53:59.080 thinking when I
00:53:59.820 tell you this.
00:54:01.900 But here's
00:54:02.540 what you
00:54:02.840 should be
00:54:03.220 thinking.
00:54:05.440 Like, just
00:54:05.820 forget the
00:54:06.260 race part for
00:54:06.940 a minute.
00:54:07.240 we Americans
00:54:10.700 killed 200,000
00:54:12.400 of each
00:54:12.820 other in my
00:54:13.640 lifetime.
00:54:14.800 Not
00:54:15.360 accidentally.
00:54:17.260 Not
00:54:17.640 accidentally.
00:54:19.200 In my
00:54:19.660 lifetime,
00:54:20.860 Americans
00:54:21.660 killed 200,000
00:54:24.420 other Americans
00:54:25.840 intentionally.
00:54:28.920 That just
00:54:29.900 like makes
00:54:30.700 my brain
00:54:31.360 explode.
00:54:33.120 But I'm
00:54:33.960 still in favor
00:54:34.480 of the
00:54:35.020 Second
00:54:35.240 Amendment,
00:54:35.520 just in
00:54:36.160 case you
00:54:36.400 wondered.
00:54:38.400 So I
00:54:39.180 guess that's
00:54:39.560 the cost
00:54:40.040 of gun
00:54:42.400 ownership.
00:54:44.040 And if you
00:54:44.860 ask me, is
00:54:45.320 it worth it?
00:54:46.740 Yes.
00:54:48.220 Yes.
00:54:50.140 It's not
00:54:50.900 easy, but
00:54:52.200 nothing is.
00:54:55.100 All right.
00:54:56.060 How would
00:54:56.620 you like me
00:54:57.300 to reprogram
00:54:59.260 Alex Soros,
00:55:00.300 who now runs
00:55:00.920 the George
00:55:01.460 Soros
00:55:01.900 funding operation?
00:55:04.000 How would
00:55:04.380 you like me
00:55:04.720 to reprogram
00:55:05.580 him so
00:55:06.220 that he
00:55:06.660 no longer
00:55:07.500 is destroying
00:55:08.220 America?
00:55:10.160 Would you
00:55:10.740 like to
00:55:11.080 give me that
00:55:11.600 challenge?
00:55:12.740 Anybody?
00:55:13.660 Anybody?
00:55:15.000 Challenge
00:55:15.480 accepted.
00:55:17.640 I've already
00:55:18.300 done it.
00:55:19.880 So this
00:55:20.380 morning,
00:55:22.320 Alex Soros
00:55:25.460 did a post
00:55:27.180 on X in
00:55:27.900 which he
00:55:28.200 said this.
00:55:29.060 And so
00:55:29.320 this was
00:55:29.660 just nine
00:55:30.100 hours,
00:55:30.440 well,
00:55:30.720 probably ten
00:55:31.220 hours ago.
00:55:31.660 He said,
00:55:33.240 for all
00:55:33.560 those saying
00:55:34.280 that they
00:55:34.760 won't vote
00:55:35.340 for Biden
00:55:35.900 because of
00:55:36.620 Gaza,
00:55:37.800 please realize
00:55:38.640 you will be
00:55:39.160 complicit in
00:55:39.960 Trump being
00:55:40.580 able to do
00:55:41.240 all of this.
00:55:42.740 And then
00:55:43.140 all of this
00:55:43.920 is a link
00:55:44.560 to Trump's
00:55:47.240 immigration
00:55:47.800 proposals,
00:55:49.080 which were
00:55:49.800 quite draconian,
00:55:51.860 rounding up
00:55:53.720 four million
00:55:54.200 people and
00:55:54.820 putting them
00:55:55.480 temporarily
00:55:56.020 into some
00:55:57.420 kind of
00:55:57.940 camps
00:55:58.420 until they
00:55:59.380 can be
00:55:59.760 repatriated
00:56:00.600 to the
00:56:00.940 original
00:56:01.260 countries.
00:56:02.300 Now,
00:56:03.480 I'm not
00:56:04.100 going to
00:56:04.280 argue whether
00:56:04.940 Trump had
00:56:05.520 a good or
00:56:05.940 bad plan
00:56:06.540 at the
00:56:06.940 moment.
00:56:07.380 That's a
00:56:07.760 separate
00:56:07.980 conversation.
00:56:09.460 I think
00:56:09.860 he'll end
00:56:10.220 up negotiating
00:56:11.160 it down
00:56:11.680 like he
00:56:12.020 did the
00:56:12.340 first time,
00:56:13.260 not deporting
00:56:14.260 25 million
00:56:14.940 people like
00:56:15.460 he said
00:56:15.720 he would.
00:56:16.460 But it's
00:56:16.900 a good
00:56:17.240 opening
00:56:17.920 offer,
00:56:18.980 probably
00:56:19.300 works during
00:56:20.600 the primaries,
00:56:21.660 makes him
00:56:22.100 a little
00:56:22.280 stronger,
00:56:22.920 et cetera.
00:56:25.160 So what
00:56:25.800 do you think
00:56:26.120 of that?
00:56:28.060 Is that
00:56:29.140 a reasonable
00:56:29.900 statement
00:56:30.320 from
00:56:30.680 Alexander
00:56:31.260 Soros
00:56:31.780 to say
00:56:32.760 that if
00:56:33.640 you won't
00:56:33.980 vote for
00:56:34.720 Biden
00:56:35.060 because of
00:56:35.520 Gaza,
00:56:36.140 you should
00:56:36.760 realize that
00:56:38.040 what you're
00:56:38.420 getting is
00:56:39.400 these Trump
00:56:39.940 immigration
00:56:40.400 policies.
00:56:41.580 Is that
00:56:41.840 a good
00:56:42.060 point?
00:56:44.600 Well,
00:56:45.560 kind of,
00:56:46.620 yeah.
00:56:47.080 I mean,
00:56:47.660 at least the
00:56:48.780 cause and
00:56:49.480 effect is
00:56:50.000 solid,
00:56:50.900 right?
00:56:51.340 If you
00:56:51.820 get Trump,
00:56:53.120 if the
00:56:53.460 reason you
00:56:53.900 voted for
00:56:54.300 Trump was
00:56:54.800 because of
00:56:55.100 Gaza,
00:56:55.940 you're going
00:56:56.720 to get all
00:56:57.360 the Trump
00:56:57.720 stuff.
00:56:59.060 That's true.
00:57:00.820 However,
00:57:02.840 Alex Soros
00:57:03.520 did open
00:57:04.000 up a
00:57:04.820 persuasion
00:57:05.380 channel,
00:57:06.300 which I
00:57:06.680 don't think
00:57:07.080 he knew
00:57:07.500 what he
00:57:07.660 was doing.
00:57:09.360 And when
00:57:09.980 he opened
00:57:10.300 that channel,
00:57:11.560 I said to
00:57:12.080 myself,
00:57:12.740 that's what
00:57:13.200 I've been
00:57:13.460 waiting for.
00:57:14.980 That's exactly
00:57:15.720 what I've been
00:57:16.220 waiting for.
00:57:17.160 I didn't know
00:57:17.580 what I was
00:57:17.980 waiting for,
00:57:18.480 but I knew
00:57:18.820 it needed to
00:57:19.580 be an
00:57:19.820 opening.
00:57:20.880 And this
00:57:21.360 opening just
00:57:21.960 came.
00:57:22.200 So I
00:57:23.660 quote tweeted
00:57:24.920 him,
00:57:26.640 or a
00:57:27.060 quote posted
00:57:27.700 him,
00:57:28.820 and I
00:57:30.320 said this
00:57:30.900 to Alexander
00:57:33.180 Soros.
00:57:34.220 I said,
00:57:35.520 you are the
00:57:36.120 reason Trump
00:57:36.800 will get
00:57:37.140 elected,
00:57:37.900 Alex.
00:57:38.720 Open borders,
00:57:39.760 crime in
00:57:40.260 cities.
00:57:42.660 That's what I
00:57:43.460 hear from
00:57:43.840 voters on
00:57:44.400 the right.
00:57:45.500 I doubt
00:57:46.000 Trump would
00:57:46.760 be competitive.
00:57:47.460 I doubt
00:57:48.620 Trump would
00:57:49.120 be competitive
00:57:49.720 in 2024
00:57:50.700 without you.
00:57:53.640 The left
00:57:54.380 and right
00:57:54.740 live in
00:57:55.120 different
00:57:55.400 bubbles,
00:57:56.140 so you
00:57:56.700 might not
00:57:57.080 be aware
00:57:57.480 of this.
00:58:00.540 And we're
00:58:01.280 done.
00:58:03.180 Now,
00:58:03.940 this is why
00:58:05.000 I told you
00:58:06.520 if I had
00:58:07.020 a million
00:58:07.440 followers,
00:58:08.580 I could
00:58:08.900 change the
00:58:09.400 world.
00:58:10.740 Generally
00:58:11.220 speaking,
00:58:12.060 if you use
00:58:12.640 the X
00:58:13.000 platform at
00:58:13.680 all,
00:58:14.780 if somebody
00:58:15.620 quote
00:58:16.000 treat
00:58:16.280 and quote
00:58:17.080 tweet you
00:58:18.380 and that
00:58:19.380 person has
00:58:19.820 a million
00:58:20.160 followers,
00:58:21.400 you're going
00:58:21.740 to notice
00:58:22.100 it.
00:58:23.860 Would you
00:58:24.420 say that's
00:58:24.800 fair?
00:58:25.300 I mean,
00:58:25.560 he's a
00:58:26.000 political
00:58:26.320 actor,
00:58:27.700 probably
00:58:28.080 follows
00:58:28.420 social media
00:58:29.060 at least
00:58:29.420 cursory,
00:58:30.500 but even
00:58:31.000 if he
00:58:31.320 doesn't
00:58:31.560 follow it
00:58:31.940 himself,
00:58:32.800 it's the
00:58:33.220 sort of
00:58:33.540 thing
00:58:33.740 somebody
00:58:34.060 would
00:58:34.240 mention
00:58:34.540 to him.
00:58:36.940 Now,
00:58:37.780 when I
00:58:38.500 said to
00:58:40.380 Alex Soros,
00:58:42.180 Alex,
00:58:42.620 you are
00:58:43.100 specifically
00:58:43.680 the reason
00:58:44.320 Trump
00:58:44.660 will be
00:58:44.980 elected.
00:58:45.320 Is that
00:58:47.200 fair?
00:58:49.620 I think
00:58:50.500 it's fair
00:58:50.900 because the
00:58:51.660 things that
00:58:53.300 are the
00:58:53.600 tiebreakers
00:58:54.360 with what
00:58:55.280 would be
00:58:55.580 a close
00:58:56.000 election
00:58:56.400 is crime
00:58:57.820 in cities
00:58:58.280 and
00:58:58.520 immigration.
00:59:00.180 And
00:59:00.260 especially
00:59:00.660 in the
00:59:01.160 context
00:59:01.600 of the
00:59:02.160 Gaza
00:59:02.580 situation,
00:59:03.380 it gives
00:59:04.660 you a
00:59:05.000 higher level
00:59:05.560 of concern
00:59:06.180 about our
00:59:06.720 own
00:59:06.920 immigration
00:59:07.360 situation.
00:59:09.340 Now,
00:59:10.500 if Alex
00:59:11.260 Soros saw
00:59:11.860 that,
00:59:12.880 and I think
00:59:13.500 there's a
00:59:13.800 good chance
00:59:14.160 he will,
00:59:15.120 is he
00:59:15.460 going to
00:59:15.740 disagree
00:59:16.080 with my
00:59:16.560 point?
00:59:18.100 Do you
00:59:18.400 think that
00:59:18.760 he doesn't
00:59:19.340 know that
00:59:20.320 what will
00:59:20.800 elect Trump
00:59:21.540 is the
00:59:22.380 open borders
00:59:23.120 that his
00:59:24.220 family supports
00:59:25.840 and funds
00:59:27.140 and the
00:59:28.520 prosecutors
00:59:29.920 allowing too
00:59:30.880 much crime
00:59:31.340 in the
00:59:31.560 cities?
00:59:32.380 Do you
00:59:32.580 think he
00:59:32.880 doesn't
00:59:33.280 know that?
00:59:35.280 Well,
00:59:35.800 if he
00:59:36.120 didn't,
00:59:36.760 and I
00:59:37.000 think it's
00:59:37.220 possible because
00:59:38.000 the bubbles
00:59:38.480 are so
00:59:38.880 extreme,
00:59:39.660 he may
00:59:40.080 have never
00:59:40.560 talked to
00:59:41.080 anybody on
00:59:41.500 the right.
00:59:41.840 It's
00:59:42.840 possible that
00:59:43.460 in years
00:59:44.100 he hasn't
00:59:45.040 had a
00:59:45.380 serious
00:59:45.720 conversation
00:59:46.320 with anybody
00:59:46.900 who is
00:59:47.400 capable of
00:59:49.880 describing a
00:59:50.740 reasonable
00:59:51.300 Republican
00:59:52.480 opinion about
00:59:53.220 things.
00:59:54.000 Probably
00:59:54.400 never.
00:59:56.140 But I
00:59:57.340 kept my
00:59:58.420 comment,
00:59:59.760 and look at
01:00:00.420 the technique
01:00:01.100 as well.
01:00:02.640 So you
01:00:02.960 see in the
01:00:03.460 first sentence
01:00:04.240 I used
01:00:04.700 his first
01:00:05.140 name.
01:00:06.860 Now,
01:00:07.160 often when
01:00:07.660 people do
01:00:08.120 that,
01:00:08.980 they're doing
01:00:09.500 it in sort
01:00:10.080 of a mocking,
01:00:10.840 aggressive way.
01:00:11.840 So people
01:00:12.640 will say
01:00:12.980 to me,
01:00:13.340 well,
01:00:13.640 Scotty,
01:00:14.540 here's what
01:00:15.400 you forgot.
01:00:16.540 You know,
01:00:16.720 it's usually
01:00:17.080 when you
01:00:17.340 use somebody's
01:00:17.820 first name
01:00:18.360 and you
01:00:18.560 don't know
01:00:18.960 them.
01:00:20.080 It's a
01:00:20.560 little bit
01:00:20.860 of a
01:00:21.100 nephew,
01:00:21.860 right?
01:00:22.400 But I
01:00:22.900 didn't use
01:00:23.240 it that
01:00:23.500 way.
01:00:24.180 So I
01:00:24.680 used it
01:00:25.100 in the
01:00:25.420 way that
01:00:25.700 you would
01:00:25.920 talk to
01:00:26.220 a friend.
01:00:27.420 So I
01:00:27.900 said,
01:00:28.220 you're the
01:00:28.640 reason
01:00:28.880 Trump
01:00:29.200 will get
01:00:29.500 elected,
01:00:30.860 Alex.
01:00:32.040 So I
01:00:32.600 wanted to
01:00:33.000 make sure
01:00:33.360 that he
01:00:33.780 didn't see
01:00:34.380 this as
01:00:36.060 an attack.
01:00:38.000 Because I
01:00:38.520 don't mean
01:00:38.880 it that
01:00:39.160 way.
01:00:39.460 I mean
01:00:39.840 it as
01:00:40.140 persuasion
01:00:40.840 based on
01:00:42.500 the real
01:00:43.080 world and
01:00:44.720 not in
01:00:45.140 any way
01:00:45.620 propaganda
01:00:46.540 and not
01:00:47.440 in any
01:00:47.720 way an
01:00:47.980 attack.
01:00:49.000 I honestly
01:00:50.040 believe,
01:00:50.820 this is my
01:00:51.260 actual belief
01:00:51.900 with no
01:00:52.760 ambiguity
01:00:53.220 in it
01:00:53.560 whatsoever,
01:00:54.460 that there
01:00:54.840 couldn't be
01:00:55.380 any way
01:00:55.960 that Alex
01:00:57.460 Soros knows
01:00:58.320 the impact
01:00:58.940 of his
01:00:59.280 actions.
01:01:01.160 Would you
01:01:01.780 agree with
01:01:02.160 that?
01:01:03.020 And I
01:01:03.600 think that
01:01:03.940 that's not
01:01:04.380 his fault.
01:01:05.720 I think
01:01:06.160 that we
01:01:06.480 all live
01:01:06.820 in such
01:01:07.180 a bubble
01:01:07.560 that I
01:01:08.880 don't know
01:01:09.200 the impact
01:01:09.640 of my
01:01:09.940 actions
01:01:10.280 either
01:01:10.560 because I
01:01:11.460 only see
01:01:11.820 what happens
01:01:12.240 in my
01:01:12.560 bubble.
01:01:14.160 It's
01:01:14.560 perfectly
01:01:14.920 natural
01:01:15.340 to not
01:01:15.700 see the
01:01:16.140 impact
01:01:17.360 of your
01:01:17.660 actions.
01:01:19.200 That
01:01:19.540 wouldn't be
01:01:20.000 surprising
01:01:20.400 at all.
01:01:21.740 And especially
01:01:22.300 if you're
01:01:22.600 surrounded with
01:01:23.100 people telling
01:01:23.580 you everything
01:01:23.980 you do is
01:01:24.400 awesome.
01:01:26.480 All right.
01:01:27.380 So,
01:01:28.120 and then
01:01:28.400 I make a
01:01:32.120 claim which
01:01:32.800 is checkable
01:01:33.520 that the
01:01:34.820 open borders
01:01:35.520 and the
01:01:36.020 crime in the
01:01:36.540 cities are
01:01:37.720 big levers
01:01:38.460 for Trump.
01:01:39.800 Now,
01:01:39.960 that's
01:01:40.140 checkable,
01:01:40.800 wouldn't you
01:01:41.140 say?
01:01:42.120 There are
01:01:42.500 polls and
01:01:43.780 people tell
01:01:44.300 you what
01:01:44.580 they care
01:01:45.340 about.
01:01:46.200 You could
01:01:46.540 look at a
01:01:47.000 poll of
01:01:47.520 Republican
01:01:47.980 opinion and
01:01:49.260 just see
01:01:49.600 what's near
01:01:50.000 the top and
01:01:51.480 then see if
01:01:51.940 you were the
01:01:52.300 cause of the
01:01:53.320 things near
01:01:53.780 the top.
01:01:54.720 And the
01:01:54.960 answer is
01:01:55.260 yes.
01:01:56.360 Yeah,
01:01:56.560 immigration and
01:01:57.640 crime would
01:01:58.140 be near the
01:01:58.620 top and
01:02:00.240 they very
01:02:00.640 much would
01:02:02.360 be him.
01:02:02.740 Now,
01:02:04.700 I've said
01:02:04.940 before that
01:02:05.560 I would
01:02:06.780 be surprised
01:02:07.680 if George
01:02:09.360 Soros,
01:02:10.120 all of his
01:02:11.240 views and
01:02:11.900 opinions are
01:02:13.100 completely adopted
01:02:14.220 by his son.
01:02:16.080 Now,
01:02:16.660 while George
01:02:17.260 Soros is
01:02:17.860 alive and
01:02:18.700 presumably he
01:02:19.420 could maybe
01:02:19.980 still take
01:02:20.540 power away
01:02:21.080 from his
01:02:21.420 son if he
01:02:21.820 needed to,
01:02:22.980 probably they'll
01:02:23.660 be in
01:02:24.240 lockstep.
01:02:25.980 But soon
01:02:27.000 after the
01:02:27.760 father passes,
01:02:29.080 I would
01:02:30.760 expect Alex
01:02:32.140 Soros,
01:02:32.620 because he's
01:02:33.040 not the
01:02:33.380 same person,
01:02:34.740 to have
01:02:36.080 some freedom
01:02:36.600 that maybe
01:02:37.100 he doesn't
01:02:37.420 have at the
01:02:37.840 moment.
01:02:38.780 And I
01:02:39.120 can't believe
01:02:39.880 that he
01:02:40.500 would look
01:02:40.860 at the
01:02:41.120 result of
01:02:41.820 his actions
01:02:42.380 up to this
01:02:42.920 point with
01:02:43.460 his father
01:02:43.940 and say
01:02:44.960 that worked
01:02:45.440 out if he
01:02:46.940 had access
01:02:47.360 to the
01:02:48.500 same
01:02:48.680 information
01:02:49.160 that you
01:02:49.540 and I
01:02:49.780 have.
01:02:50.920 So I
01:02:51.660 think he's
01:02:52.120 persuadable.
01:02:54.220 I do
01:02:54.880 not believe
01:02:55.560 the
01:02:56.440 Elon Musk
01:02:58.880 idea that
01:02:59.660 George Soros
01:03:00.580 hates
01:03:00.960 humanity
01:03:01.500 and that
01:03:02.780 that somehow
01:03:03.860 explains what
01:03:04.640 Alex Soros
01:03:05.520 is doing.
01:03:06.740 That doesn't
01:03:07.180 make sense
01:03:07.600 to me.
01:03:08.520 Because if
01:03:09.000 George Soros
01:03:09.720 hates humanity
01:03:10.420 because he
01:03:10.820 went through
01:03:11.180 the Holocaust,
01:03:12.840 but his
01:03:13.680 son was
01:03:14.080 probably raised
01:03:14.860 in a totally
01:03:15.400 privileged
01:03:15.980 situation,
01:03:16.820 nowhere near
01:03:17.280 anything like
01:03:17.780 that,
01:03:18.520 why would
01:03:18.900 they both
01:03:19.300 have the
01:03:19.580 same
01:03:19.780 opinion?
01:03:21.700 I mean,
01:03:22.380 even though
01:03:22.740 it comes
01:03:23.040 from your
01:03:23.320 father and
01:03:23.960 that's very
01:03:24.620 influential,
01:03:25.700 there are
01:03:27.300 more cases
01:03:27.860 where people
01:03:28.360 reject
01:03:28.820 their father
01:03:29.320 than accept
01:03:29.940 it.
01:03:30.920 So it
01:03:32.240 doesn't quite
01:03:32.840 make sense
01:03:33.400 that the
01:03:33.840 son is
01:03:34.300 acting the
01:03:34.800 way the
01:03:35.060 father does.
01:03:36.300 So my
01:03:37.040 theory is
01:03:38.900 that there's
01:03:40.200 an information
01:03:40.880 problem,
01:03:42.080 there's just
01:03:43.020 a gap in
01:03:43.460 information,
01:03:45.120 and that I
01:03:45.580 filled it in
01:03:46.180 for him.
01:03:47.500 And I
01:03:48.020 kept it
01:03:48.660 short and
01:03:49.920 respectful.
01:03:52.000 I tried to
01:03:52.960 keep it
01:03:53.240 respectful.
01:03:54.580 Well, let me
01:03:55.060 ask you,
01:03:55.480 did it come
01:03:55.880 off as
01:03:56.240 respectful?
01:03:56.700 Because if
01:03:58.180 it wasn't
01:03:58.540 respectful,
01:03:59.200 then it
01:03:59.460 failed.
01:04:00.820 I'll read
01:04:01.400 it again.
01:04:01.900 Is this
01:04:02.200 respectful?
01:04:03.740 You are
01:04:04.260 the reason
01:04:04.620 Trump will
01:04:05.080 get re-elected,
01:04:06.240 Alex,
01:04:06.660 open borders,
01:04:07.760 crime in
01:04:08.160 cities.
01:04:10.720 That's what I
01:04:11.400 hear from
01:04:11.760 voters on
01:04:12.260 the right.
01:04:12.960 I doubt
01:04:13.300 Trump would
01:04:13.800 be competitive
01:04:14.400 in 2024
01:04:15.180 without you.
01:04:16.640 The left
01:04:17.040 and right
01:04:17.380 live in
01:04:17.760 different
01:04:18.040 bubbles,
01:04:18.720 so you
01:04:19.220 might not
01:04:19.560 be aware
01:04:19.940 of this.
01:04:21.340 Is that
01:04:21.920 respectful?
01:04:22.420 Because I
01:04:23.880 do mean
01:04:24.260 it to
01:04:24.500 be respectful.
01:04:25.740 I have
01:04:26.000 no reason
01:04:26.540 to believe
01:04:27.080 that Alex
01:04:28.560 Soros is
01:04:29.160 a bad
01:04:29.520 guy.
01:04:31.100 I don't.
01:04:32.480 The evidence
01:04:32.980 suggests that
01:04:33.880 the father
01:04:35.240 is his own
01:04:36.720 entity,
01:04:38.020 and we
01:04:38.340 don't know
01:04:38.700 what will
01:04:39.000 happen when
01:04:39.500 his influence
01:04:40.280 wanes.
01:04:43.060 So,
01:04:43.940 interestingly,
01:04:45.340 one person,
01:04:46.220 Alex Soros,
01:04:47.180 has really
01:04:49.200 the leverage
01:04:49.900 to determine
01:04:50.840 who the next
01:04:51.400 president is,
01:04:52.220 and also
01:04:52.680 to save
01:04:53.100 the country.
01:04:56.220 Alex Soros
01:04:57.060 can save
01:04:57.560 the country.
01:04:59.320 That's not
01:04:59.940 an exaggeration,
01:05:00.740 is it?
01:05:02.040 Imagine if
01:05:02.760 that's just
01:05:03.160 one change,
01:05:04.340 if he just
01:05:04.920 said,
01:05:05.900 okay,
01:05:06.180 I'm going
01:05:06.460 to have
01:05:06.700 to prioritize
01:05:07.560 the defense
01:05:09.640 of innocent
01:05:10.860 people.
01:05:12.080 That's all
01:05:12.640 it would
01:05:12.800 take.
01:05:13.820 Maybe we
01:05:14.340 push too
01:05:14.780 hard.
01:05:15.300 We still
01:05:15.600 want lots
01:05:17.040 of immigration,
01:05:18.240 but we
01:05:18.660 don't want
01:05:18.940 to do it
01:05:19.240 this way.
01:05:20.760 Gigantic.
01:05:22.220 So,
01:05:22.680 you have
01:05:23.280 one person
01:05:23.800 who absolutely
01:05:24.680 has control
01:05:26.240 over the
01:05:27.380 outcome,
01:05:28.200 and I
01:05:28.600 would ask
01:05:28.980 him,
01:05:31.140 be a
01:05:31.860 citizen of
01:05:32.420 the world,
01:05:33.760 right?
01:05:34.420 Just be a
01:05:35.280 good citizen.
01:05:36.860 Just take
01:05:38.280 the time
01:05:38.840 to see what
01:05:40.480 the Republicans
01:05:41.540 are thinking
01:05:42.240 and saying.
01:05:43.240 Just take
01:05:43.700 the time.
01:05:44.760 Just open up
01:05:45.520 your bubble
01:05:45.860 a little bit,
01:05:46.400 and I
01:05:47.080 think everything
01:05:47.620 works out
01:05:48.200 if you
01:05:49.380 just open
01:05:50.780 up your
01:05:51.060 bubble.
01:05:51.860 Is that
01:05:52.260 too optimistic?
01:05:54.020 Sure.
01:05:56.520 Yeah.
01:05:57.500 Yeah.
01:05:57.800 One of the
01:05:58.380 things I like
01:05:58.940 to bring you
01:05:59.500 is optimism.
01:06:01.820 Is optimism
01:06:02.540 always a good
01:06:03.320 prediction?
01:06:04.540 Hell no.
01:06:06.760 Optimism can
01:06:07.420 be a pretty
01:06:07.840 bad prediction
01:06:08.580 a lot of
01:06:09.200 the times.
01:06:09.540 But overall,
01:06:11.080 I think we
01:06:12.780 humans will
01:06:13.440 figure stuff
01:06:14.140 out.
01:06:15.180 And I do
01:06:15.580 think that
01:06:16.760 Alex Soros
01:06:18.080 is young
01:06:18.520 enough and
01:06:19.080 smart enough
01:06:19.680 that if he
01:06:21.500 can escape
01:06:22.000 from his
01:06:22.440 bubble,
01:06:23.460 that the
01:06:24.420 world would
01:06:24.940 be immensely
01:06:26.060 better.
01:06:27.300 I mean,
01:06:27.620 really big
01:06:28.280 difference if
01:06:29.580 he turned
01:06:30.820 his power
01:06:31.440 just a little
01:06:32.760 bit.
01:06:33.480 He can still
01:06:34.000 have immigration,
01:06:34.840 by the way.
01:06:35.880 If what he
01:06:36.580 wants is
01:06:37.060 freer immigration,
01:06:38.520 I actually
01:06:39.180 like that a
01:06:39.840 lot.
01:06:41.080 I think the
01:06:41.600 world would
01:06:42.080 be a better
01:06:42.500 place if you
01:06:43.620 could just
01:06:43.940 pick up and
01:06:44.480 move anywhere
01:06:44.980 there was a
01:06:45.480 job, as long
01:06:46.680 as you were
01:06:47.060 documented and
01:06:47.980 legal and you
01:06:48.720 obeyed the
01:06:49.180 laws.
01:06:50.760 I think we
01:06:51.520 can make that
01:06:52.000 work, actually.
01:06:53.020 In fact, it
01:06:53.460 would probably
01:06:53.720 work in America
01:06:54.500 better than
01:06:54.980 it would work
01:06:55.340 in other
01:06:55.680 places, so
01:06:57.000 long as we
01:06:57.640 also had some
01:06:58.220 filter for
01:06:59.640 making sure
01:07:00.140 we're getting
01:07:00.560 the good
01:07:01.560 immigrants,
01:07:02.200 the ones who
01:07:02.700 want to work
01:07:03.200 and don't
01:07:03.580 want to do
01:07:03.940 crime.
01:07:05.360 So,
01:07:06.420 you know,
01:07:07.520 there's a
01:07:08.060 version of
01:07:08.660 the Soros
01:07:09.720 image of
01:07:10.200 the world
01:07:10.500 that actually
01:07:11.060 does work
01:07:11.860 for Republicans.
01:07:14.200 I know it's
01:07:14.640 hard to believe,
01:07:15.940 but there is a
01:07:16.560 version that
01:07:16.980 works, and he
01:07:17.760 could find it
01:07:18.420 if that's his
01:07:19.480 mission, if he
01:07:20.020 wants to do
01:07:20.460 that.
01:07:23.740 You say he's
01:07:24.640 disqualified
01:07:25.200 himself?
01:07:25.980 Well, I would
01:07:26.520 agree at the
01:07:27.020 moment that his
01:07:28.540 credibility is not
01:07:29.880 where you'd like
01:07:30.500 it to be.
01:07:31.400 But remember,
01:07:32.520 we do not see
01:07:33.400 him as an
01:07:34.000 independent actor
01:07:35.000 yet.
01:07:36.160 he might
01:07:37.620 become one.
01:07:38.540 That would
01:07:38.880 be the
01:07:39.140 optimism, but
01:07:40.180 not yet.
01:07:41.440 And it's not
01:07:42.120 that unusual
01:07:42.920 that people
01:07:43.500 pivot from
01:07:45.300 where their
01:07:45.680 parents were.
01:07:47.060 So, yeah, I
01:07:47.820 do have some
01:07:48.220 optimism about
01:07:49.040 that.
01:07:49.640 I absolutely
01:07:50.080 do.
01:07:52.220 All right.
01:07:53.280 Ladies and
01:07:53.940 gentlemen, this
01:07:54.740 is what I've
01:07:55.180 got for you
01:07:55.720 today on
01:07:56.640 YouTube.
01:07:57.300 Thanks for
