Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2291 Scott Adams： CWSA 11⧸13⧸23, Reframing The News So You Can Use It

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, 1.00

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? 0.67

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 0.92

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 0.65

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 0.99

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? 0.62

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 0.95

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 0.58

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 0.76

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 0.68

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 0.77

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, 0.84

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 0.50

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 0.93

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 0.99

00:46:02.460 incredible

00:46:03.320 terrorist

00:46:04.000 attack, you're 0.71

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 0.90

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, 0.96

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 0.52

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? 0.88

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 0.89

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' 0.93

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 0.94

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 0.94

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. 0.78

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, 0.65

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 0.57

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 0.90

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 0.95

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 0.99

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 0.99

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 0.98

01:07:53.940 gentlemen, this

01:07:54.740 is what I've

01:07:55.180 got for you
