00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Highlight of Human Civilization.
00:00:10.500 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I don't think you've ever had a better day.
00:00:14.580 And if you'd like your day to go up to levels which you cannot even imagine,
00:00:19.440 all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or shells or stein,
00:00:23.540 a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:26.260 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I do like coffee.
00:00:30.000 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:00:32.260 It's the dopamine at the end of the day. The thing that makes everything better.
00:00:35.020 It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Go!
00:00:42.700 Ah, that's good stuff.
00:00:46.860 Now, I hear on the Internet, so it must be true,
00:00:52.960 that there's some kind of planned or anticipated solar event
00:00:58.960 that might have the effect of cutting off the Internet for months.
00:01:04.780 Could you imagine if there was a solar event and the Internet went down for two months,
00:01:09.480 and then when it came back,
00:01:11.820 all the problems of the world had been fixed?
00:01:15.080 Just think about it.
00:01:19.300 How many problems could you fix in the world by having no Internet for two months?
00:01:25.080 Quite a few.
00:01:28.380 Quite a few.
00:01:29.860 Yeah.
00:01:30.020 In fact, most of the things I'm going to talk about today
00:01:33.440 wouldn't even exist,
00:01:36.400 except we have the Internet to fight with each other.
00:01:40.020 Just sort of holding you in mind,
00:01:41.860 what would the world be like if the Internet went down for two months?
00:01:44.800 Now, for commerce, it would be a disaster.
00:01:47.520 Well, we'd probably figure it out.
00:01:49.560 As long as the phone worked.
00:01:51.320 I don't know if the phone would work,
00:01:52.680 but if the phone worked, we'd probably figure it out.
00:01:54.820 But I suppose if you lose the Internet,
00:01:58.340 you'd probably lose civilization.
00:02:00.460 So we'll see.
00:02:02.600 Did you see the video going around
00:02:05.120 from a woman who is alleged to be Laura Aboli?
00:02:11.960 And allegedly,
00:02:13.560 she was doing a little speech about transhumanism
00:02:17.380 and how everything that we've seen in recent years is really a plot.
00:02:21.440 It's a plot to increase the trend toward getting rid of human beings
00:02:27.100 and turning us into robots.
00:02:29.860 Well, I saw Kim.com tweeting that around,
00:02:34.100 and I thought,
00:02:34.840 huh, Kim.com,
00:02:37.540 why is he forwarding that around?
00:02:40.380 Now, if you don't know who he is,
00:02:41.800 the quick version is he would be very tech savvy.
00:02:46.340 He's a techie guy by background.
00:02:48.720 But he's also very political.
00:02:50.040 So he would be somebody who understands everything
00:02:53.800 from technology to politics pretty well.
00:02:57.200 And I looked at this video,
00:02:58.720 and I said to myself,
00:02:59.820 this looks like a deep fake.
00:03:03.240 This doesn't look like a real person.
00:03:05.720 And when they shift to the audience view,
00:03:08.140 the audience view is,
00:03:09.960 to me, it looked just like AI.
00:03:11.260 And I thought,
00:03:13.220 is this the first big,
00:03:16.940 the first time there's really like a big fake out using a deep fake?
00:03:22.260 Because people are buying into this pretty hard.
00:03:24.980 Now, it turns out that the real Laura Aboli,
00:03:27.740 who was not the person shown on the viral video,
00:03:32.200 had to create a Twitter account just to say that she didn't have a Twitter account 0.99
00:03:35.560 and that it was fake.
00:03:37.820 Now, Kim.com did,
00:03:39.320 you know,
00:03:40.360 reposted her thing. 1.00
00:03:42.260 So, I guess he understands now that it wasn't real,
00:03:46.960 but I feel like there's yet another thing to drop,
00:03:49.580 because they called it an impersonator.
00:03:52.300 So, that the preliminary,
00:03:55.620 you know,
00:03:56.180 still fog of war story,
00:03:57.980 is that it was an impersonator.
00:04:00.180 Do you think it was likely a human impersonator?
00:04:04.640 You know,
00:04:04.960 coincidentally,
00:04:05.940 exactly when deep fakes can do exactly this,
00:04:09.140 that they would use a human impersonator of a real person?
00:04:13.940 That would be,
00:04:15.400 and by the way,
00:04:16.340 the prank
00:04:18.120 wasn't really politically valuable.
00:04:22.980 Nor was it really a clever prank,
00:04:25.480 because nobody really ever heard of
00:04:27.340 Laura Aboli.
00:04:29.280 At least,
00:04:29.700 I never did.
00:04:31.380 So,
00:04:31.960 it doesn't look like something,
00:04:33.260 something would do,
00:04:34.820 nobody would put in this amount of work,
00:04:37.820 to,
00:04:38.060 you know,
00:04:38.240 put on the hair and makeup and video,
00:04:40.720 pretending to be a real person,
00:04:42.340 who could just call them out and say,
00:04:43.680 oh, no,
00:04:43.980 that's not a real person.
00:04:45.000 I'm the real person.
00:04:46.620 But,
00:04:47.260 if you can kind of play around in your basement,
00:04:50.140 and make a deep fake,
00:04:51.500 you might do that.
00:04:54.300 I mean,
00:04:54.740 as much because it would be such an interesting event,
00:04:58.900 like you might be interested just to see if you can do it.
00:05:01.800 But to get a human being to put on makeup,
00:05:04.660 and a disguise,
00:05:06.440 try to be another person,
00:05:08.300 that doesn't feel like what happens in the year 2023.
00:05:11.700 Whereas a deep fake would be completely expected right now.
00:05:18.080 This is precisely the time,
00:05:20.720 exactly the time,
00:05:22.240 you'd expect to see the first deep fake that actually fooled people.
00:05:26.560 So,
00:05:27.500 I'm going to guess deep fake.
00:05:29.560 But I'd like to go on record,
00:05:31.500 I am on record,
00:05:33.100 as saying I spotted it as a fake,
00:05:35.120 before others did.
00:05:37.080 So,
00:05:37.300 I'm going to give myself credit.
00:05:39.480 I'm the first person I saw,
00:05:41.540 who knew it was a fake.
00:05:43.600 If you look at the comments,
00:05:45.060 see if anybody spotted it before I did.
00:05:47.120 The reason I point that out,
00:05:48.360 is not just to brag,
00:05:50.300 because I like bragging.
00:05:51.460 Bragging is awesome.
00:05:52.740 I like to do it whenever I can.
00:05:55.140 But the point of this show,
00:05:56.580 is that I'm teaching you how to predict.
00:05:58.020 So,
00:05:59.580 if I can't do it in front of you,
00:06:01.540 then that kind of takes away the whole theme.
00:06:04.720 So,
00:06:05.180 even when I get it wrong,
00:06:06.440 I'll show you why I predict it.
00:06:08.440 Then I'll tell you why I got it wrong.
00:06:09.940 And you can find out,
00:06:11.340 you know,
00:06:11.540 what are the good prediction methods,
00:06:13.260 what are the bad ones.
00:06:15.320 So,
00:06:15.700 anyway,
00:06:16.100 it looked fake to me.
00:06:18.440 Here's a story,
00:06:19.400 this sort of a dog not barking situation.
00:06:22.940 So,
00:06:23.140 Jana Yellen,
00:06:24.300 is happy that the,
00:06:25.500 the stock market seemed to respond positively.
00:06:28.980 to the fact that the treasury is getting flexible with respect to issuance of debt.
00:06:36.760 In other words,
00:06:37.560 it wasn't all long-term debt.
00:06:39.420 They might do a little short-term debt,
00:06:41.220 and they got flexible.
00:06:42.820 And then the whole market went wild,
00:06:44.660 and stocks went up.
00:06:47.340 Does it feel to you like,
00:06:49.860 that was too little to make the stock market go up?
00:06:53.820 Because the,
00:06:54.500 the quote,
00:06:55.320 flexibility,
00:06:55.960 flexibility was nowhere,
00:06:57.920 nowhere,
00:06:58.640 even in the neighborhood of something like a solution.
00:07:02.420 It literally was like a last,
00:07:04.640 you know,
00:07:04.860 a desperate gasp,
00:07:05.520 just to go another month without failing.
00:07:08.420 And that,
00:07:10.480 a last desperate gasp to go another month without failing to,
00:07:15.480 you know,
00:07:16.460 renew our debt situation.
00:07:18.880 That was considered a positive.
00:07:21.680 That's it.
00:07:23.380 That was a positive.
00:07:24.560 The fact that we didn't go under,
00:07:27.580 and we,
00:07:27.860 we tread water as fast as we could.
00:07:30.440 And that was our positive.
00:07:33.880 Hmm.
00:07:35.020 Now,
00:07:36.240 the,
00:07:36.460 the Adams law of slow moving disasters suggests that we'll figure this out.
00:07:42.100 This being the debt problem.
00:07:44.080 I don't know how.
00:07:45.380 I mean,
00:07:45.700 I have no idea how we can get past the debt problem.
00:07:49.820 It's not like something you could easily invent your,
00:07:52.540 invent your way out of.
00:07:54.440 And you can't just manage it better and try harder.
00:07:58.220 I mean,
00:07:58.500 it doesn't,
00:07:59.100 it's resistant to all the normal solutions that humans use,
00:08:02.700 but it doesn't mean we won't.
00:08:05.440 If I had to bet on us,
00:08:06.700 I will bet that like every other time in my life and lifetimes before me,
00:08:13.660 when we had something this big,
00:08:15.820 this large of a problem,
00:08:17.160 but you could see it developing years in the dance,
00:08:20.580 we should figure a way out of it.
00:08:23.380 Honestly,
00:08:23.940 I don't see a way,
00:08:25.120 but I also didn't see a way out of any of the other problems.
00:08:28.220 The fact that we can't see a way doesn't seem to be predictive.
00:08:33.040 You'd think it would.
00:08:34.700 So here's one of those prediction rules.
00:08:37.420 The fact that you can't personally see how this problem will be solved.
00:08:41.700 Doesn't really have any predictive value because you,
00:08:46.080 your imagination is not up to the task because you're putting your one person's
00:08:51.120 imagination up against seven billion people trying to solve a problem in some
00:08:56.580 cases or in our case,
00:08:58.340 you know,
00:08:58.540 several hundred million.
00:09:00.300 So several hundred million people only need to have one person with the right
00:09:03.880 idea,
00:09:04.320 which could potentially float to the top and you're good.
00:09:08.000 you don't need to do,
00:09:09.880 you don't need to be the one who had the idea of person.
00:09:12.460 So just keep that in mind.
00:09:14.220 here's some good news.
00:09:18.940 Sweden's decided to go more strongly nuclear.
00:09:23.400 They just announced a massive expansion of nuclear energy and they give it a two
00:09:27.600 new reactors and try to double their energy production.
00:09:30.560 And previous goal was a hundred percent renewables.
00:09:35.740 And now they've changed the language to a hundred percent clean energy.
00:09:40.520 So the word renewable,
00:09:42.900 just think about this,
00:09:45.740 the word renewable almost destroyed the nation of Sweden.
00:09:53.120 Because if you think renewable is a must,
00:09:56.400 the nuclear is off the table and nuclear was the only solution.
00:10:01.200 So they almost destroyed a country with what I call word thinking.
00:10:06.340 word thinking is when you imagine that words carry your logic and your reasons.
00:10:14.520 They don't do that.
00:10:16.340 A word is only has what you assigned to it.
00:10:18.940 It doesn't,
00:10:19.280 it doesn't carry its own argument.
00:10:21.280 But as soon as you say,
00:10:22.720 we must be renewable and everybody buys into that word renewable,
00:10:27.720 it makes your thinking distorted.
00:10:30.340 distorted because instead of looking for a solution,
00:10:34.180 you're looking for a renewable.
00:10:35.960 Does that make sense?
00:10:37.360 You should have always been looking for a solution instead of looking for a
00:10:42.520 renewable.
00:10:43.420 But as soon as you commit to the word,
00:10:45.280 your brain is just locked into,
00:10:46.900 you know,
00:10:47.760 one way of thinking.
00:10:48.940 So they,
00:10:49.620 they managed to get out of that necessity probably,
00:10:53.320 but good for them.
00:10:54.320 All right.
00:10:56.340 Zion lights is a great account to follow.
00:10:59.800 Zion lights. 0.59
00:11:00.800 That's the name of a person.
00:11:02.000 It's not a comment on Israel.
00:11:04.900 The name of a human being.
00:11:07.160 First name Zion,
00:11:08.380 last name lights.
00:11:09.380 Great follow on nuclear stuff.
00:11:13.260 Hey,
00:11:13.760 here's some interesting news.
00:11:15.220 You know how those climate models,
00:11:16.920 they've got a whole bunch of different models and they don't all predict the
00:11:20.420 same thing about the climate.
00:11:21.460 Well,
00:11:22.580 here's,
00:11:22.860 here's a potential solution.
00:11:26.640 Researchers from,
00:11:27.980 I don't know,
00:11:29.540 somebody,
00:11:29.960 the department of energies,
00:11:31.320 Oak Ridge national laboratory and some others,
00:11:34.680 they created a new method for statistically analyzing climate models.
00:11:39.700 And apparently it projects future conditions with more fidelity.
00:11:44.580 In other words,
00:11:45.920 they've,
00:11:46.240 they've tweaked the models to make them predict the future more
00:11:51.240 accurately.
00:11:52.460 Do you,
00:11:52.820 do you know how they know that they've predicted the future?
00:11:59.260 Is that your first tell?
00:12:01.240 You see a tell?
00:12:03.940 How do they know the models predict the future?
00:12:08.340 What are they comparing you to?
00:12:10.360 Are they comparing it to the other way to predict the future,
00:12:13.600 which they already know is pristine.
00:12:16.480 And so they now have this new way,
00:12:18.080 but thank God they have this other way that can predict the future.
00:12:21.340 So they can say the new way is just like the old way.
00:12:24.480 It matches it.
00:12:25.560 And thank God,
00:12:26.260 we know what the future is because now we know our models.
00:12:32.220 That's crazy.
00:12:33.020 Now at best they fit to the past is called the hind casting. 0.98
00:12:39.760 So you,
00:12:40.480 you tweak the models until you say,
00:12:42.700 if we had these models in the past,
00:12:45.020 they would have predicted correctly the past.
00:12:49.400 Do you know how irrational it is to say that?
00:12:52.400 Therefore it predicts the future.
00:12:55.920 That's not science.
00:12:57.560 It's not math.
00:12:59.240 It's not statistics.
00:13:01.540 It's not logical.
00:13:03.200 It's not reasonable,
00:13:04.860 but it's what they did.
00:13:08.900 Now these are the experts.
00:13:11.020 Now I'm only enough of an expert because I've done a lot of forecasting.
00:13:15.900 You know what the BS is.
00:13:17.500 The BS is obvious,
00:13:18.380 but listen to this.
00:13:19.020 This will make your head shake.
00:13:20.740 The method,
00:13:21.580 the method provides a way to adjust for models.
00:13:24.500 Just listen to the jargon of this.
00:13:28.060 And see if you have the same reaction I did.
00:13:30.260 The method provides a way to adjust for models with high temperature sensitivities,
00:13:35.300 a known problem in the community.
00:13:38.540 By assigning different weights to models and combining them.
00:13:44.500 Who was it who assigned the different weights to the models?
00:13:49.380 Who did they ask to do that?
00:13:52.040 Hey,
00:13:52.200 Bob,
00:13:53.280 Bob,
00:13:54.640 are you done sweeping?
00:13:57.060 All right.
00:13:57.320 You got all your janitorial duties done.
00:13:59.420 Could you just,
00:14:00.120 we just need you to come over here and maybe assign some weights to the various models.
00:14:05.820 Yeah,
00:14:05.980 I know that doesn't make sense.
00:14:07.240 It doesn't make sense.
00:14:08.220 But when we tell it to the public,
00:14:09.520 we're just going to say that we assigned weights to the models.
00:14:12.720 We don't want them to ask how they were assigned because obviously that would be human opinion.
00:14:20.140 And if you were to define your models based on some human opinion,
00:14:24.680 people would just laugh at you and say, 1.00
00:14:26.060 you're just full of shit. 1.00
00:14:27.180 That's the stupidest dumb fuck thing I ever saw in my life. 1.00
00:14:29.780 But we're going to make it even worse because we're going to have the janitor to assign the weights. 1.00
00:14:33.740 They won't even ask.
00:14:35.140 I swear to God,
00:14:36.020 they won't even ask how the weights were assigned.
00:14:39.400 This will be funny.
00:14:40.160 Come on over here,
00:14:41.040 Bob.
00:14:41.780 Bob.
00:14:43.120 That wasn't exactly what happened,
00:14:45.960 I think.
00:14:47.320 But have I told you how meta analysis is like horoscopes,
00:14:54.480 but the scientific community has been selling it to you like science for years?
00:14:59.200 A meta analysis is where you look at a bunch of different studies and none of the studies are good enough.
00:15:05.600 They're underpowered.
00:15:07.000 They're not controlled.
00:15:08.220 You have various problems.
00:15:09.460 So then the meta study says we'll put them all together and they'll have different problems
00:15:15.260 and their different problems will cancel out and then we'll get a good reason.
00:15:19.160 That's not science.
00:15:20.880 It's not statistics.
00:15:22.460 It's not math.
00:15:23.400 It's just opinion laundering.
00:15:27.200 It's opinion laundering.
00:15:30.400 It's a way to get the outcome you want by looking at all the different studies and then here's the magic.
00:15:36.740 You say,
00:15:37.200 you know what?
00:15:38.080 We want to put all the bad studies together.
00:15:40.200 Oh,
00:15:40.520 hold on,
00:15:41.020 hold on.
00:15:41.760 This one study,
00:15:42.580 that's so bad that in my opinion,
00:15:45.100 my opinion,
00:15:46.300 not my science,
00:15:47.840 not my math,
00:15:48.640 not my statistics,
00:15:50.060 but in my opinion,
00:15:50.900 this one's not good enough really.
00:15:53.700 You take that one out.
00:15:54.680 What if that was the biggest one?
00:15:58.280 Because the averaging is based on the number of people in each study.
00:16:02.260 If the one they decide to throw away happened to be the biggest one,
00:16:06.440 that was the entire outcome.
00:16:10.180 And that's exactly what happened with some of the COVID studies.
00:16:13.920 Somebody would decide to put in or not put in the biggest study.
00:16:19.000 And that was the whole outcome.
00:16:21.140 There was nothing.
00:16:21.840 All the other studies were irrelevant.
00:16:23.840 If you put in the big one,
00:16:25.200 it washed out the little ones.
00:16:26.940 If you took it out,
00:16:28.580 whole different outcome.
00:16:30.320 So is meta analysis real?
00:16:32.660 No,
00:16:33.360 no.
00:16:33.660 It's a way to laundry an opinion and make you look like,
00:16:36.020 make it sound like it was science.
00:16:38.060 Do you think that when they found this way to add together all of the models
00:16:43.120 and then they weighted some of them?
00:16:47.680 That is not science.
00:16:50.660 And,
00:16:51.100 and,
00:16:51.900 you know,
00:16:52.560 this is why I'm here.
00:16:53.780 I'm here to explain to you the obvious ways they're just trying to
00:16:58.000 bamboozle you. 0.97
00:16:59.120 And this is just bamboozlement doing something.
00:17:03.360 All right.
00:17:04.040 in the news that never stops,
00:17:07.000 the George Floyd news.
00:17:08.400 It's like,
00:17:08.800 we don't go in a day without some kind of George Floyd related news.
00:17:12.980 I'm going to,
00:17:13.240 I might have a segment on that.
00:17:15.000 George Floyd news.
00:17:16.700 Things,
00:17:17.220 things determined by George Floyd.
00:17:19.880 So Derek Chauvin is trying to get his sentence overturned.
00:17:25.480 He's the one who went to jail for allegedly murdering or accidentally murdering
00:17:31.980 Chauvin.
00:17:32.940 And the,
00:17:36.060 the evidence that Chauvin has,
00:17:37.860 he doesn't have a lawyer for this one.
00:17:39.880 Now this might surprise you that no lawyer would take this case,
00:17:42.800 but his appeal will be based on,
00:17:46.300 there's some other doctor who had nothing to do with the autopsy.
00:17:51.340 So he wasn't involved in any way,
00:17:53.560 but he read the autopsy report and he believes that Floyd died from complications from a rare tumor
00:17:58.960 called a paragangliomy that can cause a fatal surge of adrenaline.
00:18:04.780 And Chauvin believes that if the,
00:18:06.280 if the jury had heard about this possibility that he had a rare tumor,
00:18:11.480 that Chauvin would not have been convicted.
00:18:13.200 Now I have a theory about why Chauvin is doing this himself without the benefit of a lawyer.
00:18:21.320 It could be because no lawyer would pursue this.
00:18:27.380 The odds that the,
00:18:28.680 that the real problem was coincidentally a rare tumor.
00:18:35.460 That doesn't get too beyond a reasonable doubt to me.
00:18:39.480 I don't,
00:18:39.860 I don't think that was exactly the path that's going to get him out of jail.
00:18:43.200 I do think he was wrongly imprisoned on woke,
00:18:48.840 let's say hysteria,
00:18:51.060 but you know,
00:18:52.080 I don't think he did everything right,
00:18:54.020 but I don't think it was,
00:18:55.280 you know,
00:18:56.040 any kind of murder.
00:18:57.940 All right.
00:18:58.240 That's my opinion.
00:19:00.860 So Trump has provocatively claimed that if he gets elected,
00:19:04.780 he wants revenge on all those Marxist Soros prosecutors.
00:19:09.080 He wants them investigated and rooted out. 0.98
00:19:12.560 And he calls them vermin. 0.99
00:19:14.340 Vermin, 0.98
00:19:14.720 wouldn't I say he wants to get rid of every Marxist prosecutor in America.
00:19:19.580 That's what Trump said.
00:19:22.040 Right.
00:19:22.320 Wants to get rid of those prosecutors.
00:19:23.640 So obviously,
00:19:25.860 obviously the,
00:19:27.820 the issue here is the,
00:19:29.920 the Soros funded prosecutors.
00:19:32.860 Wouldn't you say,
00:19:34.240 you know,
00:19:34.500 should we keep them?
00:19:35.560 Should they be rooted out?
00:19:37.040 So CNN decided to have the vague Ramaswamy on.
00:19:40.720 And Abby Phillips of CNN was talking and decided that the,
00:19:44.940 the important question was to give the vague to respond to Trump's use of the
00:19:50.040 word vermin,
00:19:50.940 because as everyone knows,
00:19:53.100 vermin is a word used by Nazis.
00:19:55.100 And if you use that word,
00:19:56.580 well,
00:19:56.820 then you're probably,
00:19:58.500 probably some kind of head of the Nazis.
00:20:00.420 Am I right?
00:20:01.740 Am I right?
00:20:03.240 Now,
00:20:03.800 what did I tell you was the best,
00:20:06.080 the best approach when the entire,
00:20:09.980 left-leaning media,
00:20:11.780 they're going to go full dictator on,
00:20:13.960 on Trump.
00:20:15.160 It's going to be a full press. 1.00
00:20:16.600 He's a Nazi. 1.00
00:20:17.400 He's a dictator. 0.99
00:20:18.840 Everything he does is like Hitler, 0.98
00:20:21.160 Hitler,
00:20:21.640 Hitler,
00:20:22.000 Hitler. 0.57
00:20:22.480 So,
00:20:22.980 you know,
00:20:23.180 they're going to do that.
00:20:24.900 What,
00:20:25.220 what did I suggest is the only,
00:20:27.380 the only legitimate way to approach it?
00:20:30.840 Mock it.
00:20:32.220 You have to mock it out of existence.
00:20:37.260 Who's the smartest communicator,
00:20:40.900 I would say,
00:20:41.820 maybe in the whole wide world at the moment,
00:20:44.680 Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:20:46.740 So Vivek Ramaswamy gets this question from Abby Phillips about,
00:20:51.880 what does he think about this use of the word vermin,
00:20:54.180 this Nazi language?
00:20:55.260 And you have to see it because it's viral and it's awesome.
00:21:00.840 Vivek goes high ground.
00:21:04.560 He goes high ground. 1.00
00:21:06.860 Instead of addressing anything about the dumb ass question, 1.00
00:21:11.040 he goes right at her and, 0.99
00:21:13.180 and makes the real issue about the media,
00:21:15.640 not being able to focus on anything important. 1.00
00:21:17.880 And all they do is play stupid gotcha games. 1.00
00:21:21.640 And he just faced her. 1.00
00:21:26.640 Just absolutely humiliated her on live television.
00:21:30.920 Now,
00:21:31.060 did she feel humiliated?
00:21:32.380 I doubt it.
00:21:33.420 You know,
00:21:33.560 she's a professional,
00:21:34.280 but from the perspective of the,
00:21:36.720 the viewers,
00:21:38.480 he took the high ground and the high ground is, 1.00
00:21:42.360 I'm not even going to address this dumb ass question. 0.99
00:21:45.380 That's the high ground. 0.99
00:21:46.820 And he took it immediately and he never,
00:21:49.700 and he never let go.
00:21:51.240 He held it all the way.
00:21:52.920 And then when it became a viral thing,
00:21:57.280 after it became viral and everybody was sort of cheering the fakes approach,
00:22:04.240 then he tweeted it again,
00:22:05.880 just to mock her basically,
00:22:07.980 just to mock her.
00:22:10.620 He basically made her the joke of the internet.
00:22:14.580 Finally,
00:22:19.920 finally,
00:22:21.920 finally,
00:22:24.240 there's a Republican candidate who has the skill level to handle this the only way you should.
00:22:32.800 First,
00:22:33.260 you high ground it and make sure that you've got that high ground.
00:22:37.700 And then you mock it out of existence. 0.99
00:22:40.460 You make them look like the clowns that they are, 0.98
00:22:43.400 and you never let go. 0.98
00:22:45.160 Never enter their frame.
00:22:47.360 Never enter the frame.
00:22:49.020 That's what he did right. 0.97
00:22:49.920 He had a frame that you're clowns, 0.97
00:22:52.480 and he just made them accept his frame. 0.92
00:22:55.580 And he just used up her time.
00:22:57.320 Yeah,
00:22:57.660 I'll use up all your time telling you your viewers are being not serviced properly, 1.00
00:23:01.780 because you're wasting time on bullshit. 0.99
00:23:03.640 But if you want to, 1.00
00:23:05.120 if you want to disgrace yourself,
00:23:07.100 I'm here for it.
00:23:09.800 It was wonderful.
00:23:11.880 Like just frickin' wonderful.
00:23:15.260 Now what's important about it is not just that he did it and it worked out so well.
00:23:19.740 What it did was it showed the template.
00:23:24.180 That's the template.
00:23:25.900 So the template is the story.
00:23:28.660 Once you've seen him do it,
00:23:30.100 you know how to do it.
00:23:31.900 Until he did it,
00:23:32.980 you're just sort of flailing around.
00:23:37.760 But now you saw a clean,
00:23:39.340 simple solution to the trap,
00:23:42.760 because they're all going to be in the trap, right?
00:23:44.180 Every Republican is going to get asked these questions.
00:23:47.400 Just don't.
00:23:48.760 Just don't.
00:23:50.800 Don't enter the frame.
00:23:53.040 So great job there.
00:23:54.560 So what should Abby Phillips have done?
00:23:56.780 Oh, by the way,
00:23:57.320 Abby Phillips is a reason that I don't like Jake Tapper.
00:24:04.060 I'll just give you this sort of background story.
00:24:07.260 Because I was talking to Tapper.
00:24:09.760 He did some guest cartoons from the Dilbert before it was disgraced.
00:24:13.960 And so we talked offline.
00:24:16.540 And when I'd complained to him that Abby Phillips had done a package 0.65
00:24:20.840 in which he'd mentioned the fine people hoax like it was real.
00:24:24.880 And I was kind of getting on him for CNN coverage
00:24:28.420 about treating the fine people hoax like it was a real story.
00:24:32.560 And he accused me of being a racist, essentially,
00:24:37.740 for saying that Abby Phillips was getting the story wrong.
00:24:42.840 Now, keep in mind, I'd only heard a voiceover.
00:24:44.940 I didn't know who it was.
00:24:46.540 And I had no opinion whatsoever of ethnic background.
00:24:51.640 Because I didn't know who she was, didn't know what her face looked like.
00:24:54.420 I just heard her voice.
00:24:55.780 And her voice, you know, doesn't give away any ethnic background.
00:24:58.920 It was a very nice voice, TV voice.
00:25:00.580 So, and that's where I lost it.
00:25:05.720 That was the point where I realized I wasn't talking to just a person.
00:25:10.180 I mean, like, why would he even think that?
00:25:14.160 Like, how would that even enter your frame
00:25:16.980 that because she was wrong on something that's obviously wrong
00:25:21.100 and you can check the transcript yourself?
00:25:22.960 And that I objected to that, that that was racist.
00:25:28.540 That's the point I realized you can't talk to him.
00:25:31.280 I was like, I can't even have a conversation.
00:25:33.700 Like, what is wrong?
00:25:35.120 What happened that you would even be in that frame?
00:25:39.100 How did you get there?
00:25:40.380 I don't know.
00:25:40.720 So, anyway, here's where that story should have gone.
00:25:45.260 When Trump said he was going to get rid of these vermin Marxist DAs 1.00
00:25:50.580 that Soros had funded, CNN should have invited Alex Soros,
00:25:56.980 who is now running the Soros Empire,
00:25:59.780 and they should have asked him to defend
00:26:02.020 why these prosecutors are good ones, because he's backing them.
00:26:08.780 Isn't that the story?
00:26:09.680 Or shouldn't it be that Trump says these prosecutors are bad,
00:26:14.380 and then you take the number one person responsible
00:26:16.620 for getting them in office, the funding of it,
00:26:19.200 and you say, you know, what's the other side of this?
00:26:22.860 That's not exactly both sides of them.
00:26:24.920 That's news.
00:26:26.200 That would be, there's an argument on one side,
00:26:28.240 let's show you the argument on the other side.
00:26:31.600 But did you, let me ask you,
00:26:33.240 have any of you ever seen any news
00:26:35.520 in which Alex Soros was challenged
00:26:38.340 to defend the prosecutors
00:26:41.480 or the border situation the way it is,
00:26:44.060 the immigration situation?
00:26:45.280 Have you ever seen that?
00:26:47.480 Now, ask yourself why.
00:26:49.700 Now, I assume if the right-leading news invites him,
00:26:52.620 he says no.
00:26:54.160 All right, that would be no big surprise. 0.97
00:26:55.720 And it wouldn't be, it wouldn't be dumb
00:26:58.280 because, you know, he maybe doesn't want to get 0.83
00:27:01.420 set into a trap or something.
00:27:03.240 So that way, it wouldn't be dumb to say no
00:27:04.880 to the right-leaning news.
00:27:06.420 But is the left-leaning news so incurious
00:27:09.280 or is it because he's now the biggest funder
00:27:13.140 of the Democrat Party
00:27:14.180 that they can't even ask him a question
00:27:16.540 about why he thinks what he's doing is a good idea?
00:27:19.320 You don't even have to make it hard.
00:27:21.580 You can just say,
00:27:22.960 hey, some people say your funding of these things
00:27:25.620 is terrible and destroying the entire country.
00:27:28.100 And it's the biggest problem in our country.
00:27:30.540 Can you give your description
00:27:32.360 of why it's a good idea?
00:27:33.900 It doesn't even have to be a hard interview.
00:27:36.580 Just put them on record.
00:27:38.780 Why is this a good idea?
00:27:40.620 We've heard why people think it's a bad idea.
00:27:43.200 Don't you want to balance that out?
00:27:44.840 The only reason I can think of
00:27:46.480 is that he can't defend it.
00:27:48.660 Can you think of any other reason
00:27:50.680 that the media, which would be friendly to him
00:27:53.960 because he'd be a Democrat funder,
00:27:57.000 why wouldn't they want to get his good, strong argument
00:28:00.600 for why he's doing what he's doing
00:28:03.320 so that the Democrats would not be wounded
00:28:05.260 by the Soros Association?
00:28:09.360 Wouldn't the smartest thing the Democrats could do 0.68
00:28:11.880 and the Democrat-leaning media
00:28:13.820 be to rehabilitate Alexander or Alex Soros
00:28:18.900 so they can say,
00:28:20.280 yes, he's the biggest funder of the Democrats
00:28:22.260 and look at all the other good things he does.
00:28:24.880 He's a guy who does good things everywhere.
00:28:27.080 And he also does good things in America
00:28:29.020 by funding Democrats.
00:28:30.780 Isn't that what you'd expect?
00:28:32.860 Why is it that the most expected thing in news
00:28:37.580 based on our biggest problem,
00:28:40.420 you know, crime in the cities and immigration, 1.00
00:28:44.160 and the news doesn't even want to put
00:28:46.900 the point of view on record
00:28:50.340 of the most important person in the conversation?
00:28:55.020 What's up with that?
00:28:56.540 Is it exactly what it looks like?
00:28:58.440 It can't be defended.
00:29:00.720 What it looks like is it can't be defended.
00:29:03.760 And I think that's...
00:29:05.480 And if I were the vague or the...
00:29:08.960 or Trump,
00:29:09.820 I would be saying,
00:29:11.900 get Alex, put him on camera.
00:29:13.980 Put him on camera, CNN.
00:29:15.800 Put him on and ask him
00:29:17.100 why he thinks this is a good idea.
00:29:19.320 Just challenge them.
00:29:21.000 Say, why are you asking me
00:29:22.200 about Trump's comment about the prosecutors?
00:29:25.460 Isn't that a question for Alex Soros?
00:29:28.100 Why don't you ask him to defend what he's doing
00:29:30.420 and tell us why it's a good idea?
00:29:32.720 I told you why I think it's a bad idea.
00:29:34.660 Would you like to see her the other side of the story?
00:29:36.680 Because frankly, I haven't heard it.
00:29:38.540 And it would be a service to me as well
00:29:40.140 if you could put the other side of the story up
00:29:42.440 so America could understand
00:29:44.480 what's happening to America.
00:29:47.120 If there's one person who's more responsible
00:29:50.220 than any other person,
00:29:52.000 and he's an American citizen,
00:29:53.620 and he's supposedly fighting for America,
00:29:57.100 let's hear his story.
00:29:59.520 Put him up there.
00:30:01.560 That's what I'd do.
00:30:05.100 All right.
00:30:06.080 Vivek, as you know,
00:30:07.200 is also going after Rana McDaniel,
00:30:11.000 head of the GOP.
00:30:13.160 And I saw Charlie Kirk was saying in a post,
00:30:17.820 he said,
00:30:18.380 the Rana factor is dragging down the entire party, 1.00
00:30:21.880 was just texting with a major pollster
00:30:23.820 who asked likely voters
00:30:25.060 if they planned on participating.
00:30:27.220 In the election, 2024,
00:30:28.820 they were flooded with voters,
00:30:30.100 jaded with the RNC,
00:30:31.060 and one stated bluntly
00:30:33.300 that you wouldn't get involved
00:30:35.460 unless Rana McDaniel is out of the race.
00:30:39.400 Now, I don't know,
00:30:42.180 this is sort of anecdotal,
00:30:44.680 so I don't know how to judge
00:30:45.900 if this is a big thing or not a big thing.
00:30:48.740 But imagine this.
00:30:50.660 Imagine if Vivek got the scalp.
00:30:54.120 Imagine if Vivek was the one that you remembered
00:30:56.540 got Rana out of the job,
00:31:00.140 and then imagine that whoever replaces,
00:31:03.400 you know, is the new person,
00:31:05.260 does a better job on turnout.
00:31:08.320 Imagine that happening.
00:31:09.820 Because that could happen.
00:31:11.240 You know, there could be enough pressure
00:31:12.680 that Rana could say,
00:31:14.680 it doesn't look like it at the moment.
00:31:16.400 She seems to be hanging tight.
00:31:17.800 But imagine if it did,
00:31:19.880 you know, because the pressure might be building.
00:31:22.180 This would be the ultimate,
00:31:23.720 what I call the new CEO move.
00:31:26.420 The new CEO move is a persuasion technique
00:31:30.760 I read about a lot,
00:31:32.080 which is if you get a new CEO,
00:31:34.600 often they'll like fire an entire department.
00:31:38.480 Well, you saw what Musk did.
00:31:40.060 Musk did the ultimate new CEO move with Twitter.
00:31:43.720 He bought Twitter,
00:31:44.960 but then almost immediately,
00:31:46.300 he felt like 80% of the staff.
00:31:48.880 Are there any questions?
00:31:50.100 Yeah, that's the new CEO move
00:31:55.040 done to perfection, right?
00:31:58.360 By cutting 80% of the staff
00:32:00.120 and then actually making it work
00:32:02.120 and then turning it profitable,
00:32:03.800 which is what looks like
00:32:04.680 it's going to happen this coming year.
00:32:06.640 That is the most baller
00:32:08.700 new CEO move you could ever make.
00:32:12.620 Everything was in that move.
00:32:14.060 It's basically packing
00:32:16.440 the entire Elon Musk management concept
00:32:20.160 into one act,
00:32:22.420 which is I got rid of 80% of you
00:32:24.700 and it didn't make a difference.
00:32:26.480 Do you have any questions?
00:32:29.180 Do you think the remaining 20% 0.86
00:32:31.300 worked extra hard?
00:32:33.480 Probably.
00:32:35.760 Probably.
00:32:37.020 Do you think the remaining 20% 0.86
00:32:38.500 actually enjoyed their jobs more?
00:32:42.200 I'll bet they did.
00:32:42.940 Yeah.
00:32:44.060 I'd be curious about it,
00:32:46.120 but I'll bet they did
00:32:46.840 because the 80%
00:32:48.240 were the people slowing them down.
00:32:51.080 The 20% were just trying 1.00
00:32:52.660 to do good work
00:32:53.500 and change the world.
00:32:55.240 And then when everybody
00:32:56.140 got out of the way,
00:32:56.820 they did good work
00:32:57.640 and the X platform
00:33:00.100 has more good features
00:33:01.420 in the past year
00:33:02.800 than its entire history.
00:33:05.020 So the technical department
00:33:07.260 at the X platform,
00:33:10.060 in my opinion,
00:33:11.900 is just freaking killing it.
00:33:14.060 if you look at the degree
00:33:16.520 of difficulty of their task
00:33:18.400 and then you compare it
00:33:20.260 to the outcome
00:33:20.840 as we see it today
00:33:22.000 and even where it will be
00:33:23.180 in a year,
00:33:24.520 it's one of the greatest
00:33:25.340 technological achievements
00:33:26.640 of all time.
00:33:27.940 I mean,
00:33:28.120 it's really seriously impressive
00:33:29.820 from the outside.
00:33:31.640 It's hard to know
00:33:32.240 what's happening on the inside.
00:33:33.900 But anyway,
00:33:34.200 that's a new CEO move.
00:33:35.280 If Vivek gets a change
00:33:37.640 at the head of the RNC
00:33:39.420 and it makes a difference
00:33:41.240 before he even gets the job,
00:33:44.560 that is one hell
00:33:46.380 of a good persuasive move
00:33:47.860 because it puts him
00:33:49.360 basically in the boss job
00:33:52.520 without even getting the job yet.
00:33:54.920 That is strong.
00:33:56.980 I know what all of you
00:33:57.780 are thinking,
00:33:58.300 so I'll just say it out loud.
00:34:00.820 I'm endorsing Vivek
00:34:02.240 primarily because age
00:34:03.600 is just too much of an issue.
00:34:05.520 Yeah,
00:34:05.660 there's no way
00:34:06.180 I could tell you
00:34:06.960 a few years ago
00:34:08.960 Biden is too old
00:34:10.440 and you all know it
00:34:11.280 and you're going to,
00:34:12.140 you're going to,
00:34:12.760 you'll really pay
00:34:13.780 if you make the mistake
00:34:15.160 of electing him
00:34:15.860 because age does matter.
00:34:18.340 It's going to matter
00:34:19.180 with Trump too.
00:34:20.780 But if you had a strong VP,
00:34:22.480 you would worry less.
00:34:24.720 Compare Biden's age
00:34:27.080 with Kamala Harris
00:34:28.380 as the backup spare wheel.
00:34:30.420 Ah,
00:34:31.300 ah,
00:34:31.740 ah,
00:34:32.240 ah,
00:34:32.860 ah,
00:34:33.600 now compare Trump
00:34:35.080 still operating at,
00:34:37.000 you know,
00:34:37.360 peak Trumpness
00:34:38.220 and worst case scenario,
00:34:41.540 let's say his vice president
00:34:42.880 was Vivek,
00:34:43.820 which by the way,
00:34:45.240 Vivek,
00:34:46.580 I just lost,
00:34:47.620 lost the connection
00:34:48.340 on YouTube.
00:34:49.340 But Vivek is very clearly
00:34:50.360 running for president
00:34:51.300 and there's plenty
00:34:52.940 that could happen
00:34:53.600 between now and election day
00:34:54.900 that could be bad for Trump.
00:34:57.420 You know,
00:34:57.560 there's a million,
00:34:58.260 a million risks.
00:35:00.060 Oh God,
00:35:00.560 we're having all kinds
00:35:01.260 of connection troubles.
00:35:02.040 Ah,
00:35:03.600 sorry,
00:35:04.880 I see the connection troubles
00:35:05.980 here on YouTube.
00:35:07.520 We're not having those
00:35:08.540 on local,
00:35:09.500 by the way.
00:35:10.220 That's a,
00:35:10.680 it's a site-specific problem.
00:35:16.540 Yeah,
00:35:17.040 sorry about that.
00:35:18.140 It'll clear up in a second.
00:35:19.180 So anyway,
00:35:23.920 there,
00:35:24.180 people are already
00:35:25.060 fantasizing about
00:35:26.260 Trump doing
00:35:28.000 what nobody's really
00:35:29.600 ever done,
00:35:30.500 which is to have
00:35:31.980 a vice president,
00:35:33.780 well,
00:35:34.060 no,
00:35:34.920 I'll take it back.
00:35:35.980 Bill Clinton did this
00:35:37.100 and to me
00:35:38.140 it was one of the strongest
00:35:38.960 things he ever did.
00:35:40.260 When Bill Clinton
00:35:41.020 took on Al Gore
00:35:42.080 as not just a partner,
00:35:43.820 but like a,
00:35:44.620 like a serious
00:35:45.520 vice presidential partner,
00:35:46.940 that was,
00:35:48.680 that was a really
00:35:50.260 smart move
00:35:50.920 because Gore did
00:35:52.200 actual real useful
00:35:53.480 things.
00:35:54.320 You know,
00:35:54.460 you don't like him
00:35:55.040 on climate,
00:35:55.640 I know,
00:35:56.020 but what he did
00:35:57.100 with the government
00:35:57.680 and efficiency
00:35:58.960 and stuff like that
00:35:59.700 was actually pretty,
00:36:00.360 pretty radical
00:36:01.060 and important.
00:36:01.600 So having a great
00:36:04.040 operator as a vice
00:36:05.100 president would be
00:36:05.860 an amazing thing
00:36:06.780 for the country.
00:36:08.820 I saw there was
00:36:09.740 some hearing
00:36:10.460 on the J6 things
00:36:11.800 and FBI Director
00:36:13.520 Ray was there
00:36:14.380 and some
00:36:15.680 Representative Higgins
00:36:16.820 was claiming
00:36:18.000 that there were
00:36:20.440 so-called ghost
00:36:21.560 buses on January 6th.
00:36:23.840 Have you ever
00:36:24.200 heard this before?
00:36:25.600 The so-called 0.85
00:36:26.280 ghost buses?
00:36:27.600 And the idea
00:36:30.260 is that there
00:36:30.760 were buses there
00:36:31.500 that were unmarked.
00:36:33.020 They were just
00:36:33.460 pure white
00:36:34.140 and that the
00:36:35.700 unmarked buses
00:36:36.880 were for the purpose
00:36:38.920 of transporting
00:36:39.780 allegedly a bunch
00:36:42.000 of FBI
00:36:42.840 operatives
00:36:44.320 dressed like
00:36:45.140 Trump supporters.
00:36:47.700 Now,
00:36:48.740 I love me a good
00:36:50.040 conspiracy theory.
00:36:51.520 I really do.
00:36:53.520 But there's a little
00:36:54.900 bit wrong,
00:36:55.420 there's something
00:36:55.780 wrong with this one.
00:36:57.600 You know what's
00:36:58.160 wrong with this
00:36:58.800 conspiracy theory?
00:37:01.040 The white buses
00:37:02.160 would be the
00:37:02.840 most obvious
00:37:03.820 fake buses.
00:37:06.060 What would be
00:37:06.920 the best way
00:37:07.720 to have a bus
00:37:09.540 deliver
00:37:10.160 undercover people?
00:37:13.780 In a regular bus.
00:37:16.380 The number one
00:37:17.360 best way
00:37:17.980 to deliver
00:37:18.940 spies
00:37:19.580 would be
00:37:20.640 on a regular bus.
00:37:22.460 You don't want
00:37:22.940 to pull up
00:37:23.380 with a ghost bus
00:37:24.380 like,
00:37:25.820 hey,
00:37:26.160 what kind of bus
00:37:26.820 is that?
00:37:27.600 Huh.
00:37:28.780 You got this
00:37:29.220 one unusual
00:37:29.920 bus here.
00:37:31.280 Now,
00:37:31.800 I'm not buying
00:37:32.420 the ghost
00:37:33.140 bus hypothesis.
00:37:35.240 I'm not saying
00:37:35.920 it's fake.
00:37:37.140 I don't know
00:37:37.780 if it's real
00:37:38.340 or not.
00:37:39.260 But just because
00:37:41.040 there were
00:37:41.340 white buses,
00:37:44.640 wouldn't a
00:37:45.280 white bus
00:37:45.820 simply be
00:37:46.520 a chartered bus?
00:37:48.760 Am I wrong?
00:37:49.700 Do you think
00:37:50.020 the FBI has
00:37:50.840 like their own
00:37:51.860 buses
00:37:52.240 just for
00:37:53.700 shipping in
00:37:55.040 large numbers
00:37:55.820 of FBI
00:37:57.100 people?
00:37:58.780 Oh,
00:37:58.980 somebody says
00:37:59.400 yes,
00:37:59.720 that they have
00:38:00.060 their own
00:38:00.360 white buses.
00:38:02.340 Is that true?
00:38:03.860 Do we know
00:38:04.620 that the FBI
00:38:05.240 has white buses?
00:38:07.500 Oh,
00:38:07.800 it's getting
00:38:08.360 more interesting.
00:38:09.400 I'm seeing
00:38:09.760 in the comments
00:38:10.400 over on the
00:38:10.880 Locals platform
00:38:11.560 that that's
00:38:12.940 something we know
00:38:13.660 that the FBI
00:38:14.360 has white buses.
00:38:15.520 All right,
00:38:15.720 well,
00:38:15.880 if you give me
00:38:16.320 a picture
00:38:16.660 of an FBI
00:38:17.260 white bus,
00:38:17.960 then you
00:38:20.280 can change
00:38:20.700 my mind.
00:38:22.660 I'm open
00:38:23.360 to be changed.
00:38:23.840 Like I said,
00:38:24.940 I'm not saying
00:38:25.620 it didn't happen.
00:38:27.220 I'm just saying
00:38:28.180 it would be
00:38:28.740 a weird thing
00:38:29.300 to happen.
00:38:30.340 But maybe.
00:38:31.960 It's not
00:38:32.580 impossible.
00:38:34.420 Somebody says
00:38:34.980 there's video.
00:38:36.020 Well,
00:38:36.280 video of the bus.
00:38:37.380 There's not
00:38:37.740 video of FBI
00:38:38.680 agents changing
00:38:39.680 clothes and
00:38:40.180 getting on it.
00:38:42.140 I don't know.
00:38:42.700 Prisons use
00:38:43.340 white buses?
00:38:44.880 Somebody says.
00:38:45.400 Monica Lewinsky
00:38:48.720 turned 50
00:38:49.560 in July.
00:38:51.520 Wow.
00:38:53.800 Wow.
00:38:55.040 She's forever
00:38:55.680 young in my mind.
00:38:56.680 That's weird.
00:38:57.720 Somebody just said.
00:38:59.420 All right.
00:38:59.940 FCC has some
00:39:00.820 new equity rules
00:39:01.820 that for your
00:39:03.640 digital,
00:39:04.180 you can't
00:39:04.640 digitally
00:39:05.020 discriminate
00:39:05.580 on the Internet.
00:39:06.560 So everybody
00:39:06.960 said,
00:39:07.300 got to have
00:39:07.660 Internet.
00:39:09.020 Of course,
00:39:10.040 this will be
00:39:10.560 another thing
00:39:11.060 that will get
00:39:11.440 abused.
00:39:13.860 We assume.
00:39:15.400 But I wonder
00:39:16.140 about this.
00:39:17.200 If you're too
00:39:17.880 poor to have
00:39:18.480 Internet access,
00:39:20.020 do you have
00:39:20.400 a smartphone
00:39:20.980 and a laptop
00:39:21.720 to use it?
00:39:23.800 Don't we also
00:39:24.580 have to give
00:39:25.060 everybody a laptop
00:39:25.940 for free?
00:39:27.560 Because what good
00:39:28.160 would Wi-Fi be
00:39:29.020 if you don't
00:39:29.380 have anything
00:39:29.760 to access?
00:39:31.360 I don't know.
00:39:32.360 I've got to keep
00:39:33.080 an eye on this one.
00:39:33.840 That looks like
00:39:34.300 a Kyle Becker
00:39:36.820 post.
00:39:38.540 But keep an eye
00:39:39.340 on that because
00:39:39.900 that could be
00:39:40.560 misused quite
00:39:42.180 easily.
00:39:43.580 All right.
00:39:43.820 President Xi
00:39:44.380 was here
00:39:45.000 and now
00:39:46.320 we know
00:39:46.640 what they
00:39:46.920 talked about.
00:39:48.220 I may have
00:39:48.640 missed some
00:39:49.100 of this story.
00:39:50.540 I thought
00:39:50.760 the coverage
00:39:51.320 was terrible.
00:39:53.340 The news
00:39:53.980 coverage
00:39:54.440 of the
00:39:54.920 Biden
00:39:55.820 felt like
00:39:57.380 it was just
00:39:57.940 really kind
00:39:58.560 of sketchy
00:39:59.120 and incomplete.
00:40:00.520 But here's
00:40:01.480 some stuff
00:40:02.220 that came
00:40:02.580 out of that.
00:40:04.320 Allegedly,
00:40:05.440 we gave
00:40:06.480 China something 0.93
00:40:07.320 but in return
00:40:08.360 China said
00:40:09.880 they would
00:40:10.180 crack down
00:40:10.680 on fentanyl
00:40:11.400 which they've
00:40:11.860 said before
00:40:12.340 and never
00:40:12.640 done.
00:40:13.820 Do I have
00:40:14.140 that story
00:40:14.560 right?
00:40:15.440 The President
00:40:15.920 Xi said
00:40:16.420 oh yeah
00:40:16.900 we'll totally
00:40:17.600 we'll totally
00:40:18.740 crack down
00:40:19.280 on all that
00:40:19.740 fentanyl.
00:40:21.180 So basically
00:40:22.140 nothing,
00:40:22.720 right?
00:40:23.840 Yeah.
00:40:24.260 So that's
00:40:24.520 the same
00:40:24.820 thing that
00:40:25.340 Trump thought
00:40:26.180 he got
00:40:26.580 and didn't
00:40:27.040 get.
00:40:27.720 So we got
00:40:28.320 nothing on
00:40:29.420 fentanyl
00:40:29.880 but apparently
00:40:31.180 we gave
00:40:31.780 away something.
00:40:33.440 Something
00:40:33.980 they want.
00:40:35.520 That's almost
00:40:36.420 beyond my
00:40:37.980 ability to
00:40:38.720 understand.
00:40:39.260 I will
00:40:42.400 tell you
00:40:42.800 this a
00:40:43.240 hundred
00:40:43.460 times.
00:40:45.960 Fentanyl
00:40:46.520 is not
00:40:47.780 a
00:40:48.180 negotiation.
00:40:50.460 This has
00:40:51.260 to be
00:40:51.540 understood
00:40:51.940 because I
00:40:53.100 think the
00:40:53.500 Biden
00:40:53.720 administration
00:40:54.680 is in
00:40:55.320 the wrong
00:40:55.640 frame.
00:40:56.740 It's not
00:40:57.600 a negotiation.
00:41:00.000 It's what
00:41:00.820 you tell
00:41:01.280 you.
00:41:01.900 It's what
00:41:02.320 if it
00:41:02.840 doesn't
00:41:03.160 stop,
00:41:03.880 you tell
00:41:04.580 them what
00:41:05.000 the penalty
00:41:05.880 will be
00:41:06.440 and then
00:41:07.100 you apply
00:41:07.560 it.
00:41:09.420 You don't
00:41:10.100 negotiate
00:41:10.600 it.
00:41:13.180 You know,
00:41:14.140 and then
00:41:14.640 the other
00:41:15.080 thing is
00:41:15.520 you don't
00:41:16.180 let them 0.55
00:41:16.460 in the
00:41:16.700 country
00:41:17.060 when they're
00:41:18.700 doing this
00:41:19.260 and you
00:41:20.440 don't allow
00:41:20.960 their,
00:41:21.380 you know,
00:41:22.780 diplomats to
00:41:23.580 operate and
00:41:24.180 you don't
00:41:24.520 allow their
00:41:24.980 students to
00:41:25.580 go to our
00:41:25.980 colleges.
00:41:27.600 You just
00:41:28.320 shut the 1.00
00:41:28.680 whole fucking 1.00
00:41:29.240 thing down 1.00
00:41:29.960 because
00:41:30.720 fentanyl
00:41:31.300 is the
00:41:32.240 opening bid.
00:41:33.340 It's the
00:41:33.720 ticket to
00:41:34.160 the show.
00:41:35.160 The show
00:41:35.780 would be
00:41:36.680 all the
00:41:37.020 negotiations
00:41:37.700 that superpowers
00:41:38.760 do with
00:41:39.140 each other
00:41:39.540 that should
00:41:40.100 be ongoing
00:41:40.800 business.
00:41:41.980 But you
00:41:42.360 don't get
00:41:42.760 a ticket
00:41:43.120 to the
00:41:43.560 show
00:41:43.900 unless you've
00:41:45.920 settled the
00:41:46.960 fentanyl
00:41:47.460 problem.
00:41:49.140 Absolutely
00:41:49.700 terrible,
00:41:51.680 terrible,
00:41:52.680 terrible
00:41:53.380 negotiating
00:41:54.600 and persuasion
00:41:55.380 technique.
00:41:56.540 Worst I've
00:41:57.020 ever seen.
00:41:58.380 I'm going to
00:41:58.840 say for sure,
00:42:00.160 worst I've
00:42:00.840 ever seen.
00:42:01.560 I've never
00:42:02.000 seen anything
00:42:02.500 worse than
00:42:02.980 that.
00:42:03.800 Now,
00:42:04.300 did Trump
00:42:04.800 do it
00:42:05.100 right?
00:42:05.780 No.
00:42:06.960 Nope.
00:42:08.080 Trump did
00:42:08.720 not do
00:42:09.160 it right.
00:42:09.920 Let me
00:42:10.140 say that
00:42:10.440 as clearly
00:42:10.880 as possible.
00:42:11.640 Nope.
00:42:12.580 Absolutely
00:42:13.000 wrong.
00:42:14.020 Is 0.88
00:42:14.500 Vivek likely
00:42:15.340 to do
00:42:15.680 it better?
00:42:16.600 Well,
00:42:16.880 I'd like
00:42:17.180 to see
00:42:17.840 him describe
00:42:18.680 how he
00:42:19.020 would do
00:42:19.220 it,
00:42:19.420 but I
00:42:20.140 like the
00:42:20.460 odds
00:42:20.660 better,
00:42:21.500 honestly.
00:42:23.820 Well,
00:42:24.300 she did
00:42:24.740 say that
00:42:25.400 China wants 0.96
00:42:26.220 to be
00:42:26.440 friends with
00:42:26.860 the U.S.
00:42:27.220 and would
00:42:27.560 never fight
00:42:28.120 a hot
00:42:28.560 war with
00:42:29.660 the U.S.
00:42:30.120 or anybody
00:42:30.540 else.
00:42:31.680 And you
00:42:31.980 know what?
00:42:33.500 I actually
00:42:34.180 believe that.
00:42:35.780 Do you
00:42:37.020 believe that?
00:42:38.720 I actually
00:42:39.520 believe that
00:42:40.300 China,
00:42:41.440 under no
00:42:42.520 circumstances
00:42:43.300 whatsoever,
00:42:44.340 would get
00:42:44.740 into a
00:42:45.060 hot war
00:42:45.500 with us
00:42:45.880 that they
00:42:46.500 thought could
00:42:46.880 escalate.
00:42:47.800 You know,
00:42:47.920 you can
00:42:48.220 imagine
00:42:48.600 some ships
00:42:50.120 fired another
00:42:51.260 ship or
00:42:51.680 something
00:42:51.960 someday.
00:42:53.040 But I
00:42:53.520 actually believe
00:42:54.080 that there
00:42:54.460 is no
00:42:54.960 circumstance
00:42:55.480 in which
00:42:55.960 they would
00:42:56.220 do it.
00:42:56.500 Do you
00:42:56.620 know why?
00:42:58.440 Because there's
00:42:59.160 no circumstance
00:42:59.860 that you
00:43:00.360 can even
00:43:00.680 imagine
00:43:01.160 where it would
00:43:02.120 work out
00:43:02.520 well.
00:43:03.340 Do you
00:43:03.520 know why?
00:43:05.480 Because China 0.94
00:43:06.300 doesn't believe
00:43:06.900 that life is
00:43:07.440 better after
00:43:07.920 you die. 0.99
00:43:09.340 That's it. 0.99
00:43:10.960 That's all
00:43:11.580 you need to
00:43:11.960 know.
00:43:13.000 China is run 1.00
00:43:13.760 by, you
00:43:15.260 know, engineers
00:43:15.980 and rational
00:43:16.800 people who
00:43:18.240 may do
00:43:18.720 things which
00:43:19.380 by our
00:43:19.900 eyes and
00:43:20.500 even anybody's
00:43:21.320 eyes might
00:43:21.800 look evil
00:43:22.460 or suboptimal.
00:43:24.440 Right?
00:43:24.720 Everybody does
00:43:25.620 things differently.
00:43:26.900 But when
00:43:28.160 does China
00:43:28.800 try to kill
00:43:29.960 itself by 0.99
00:43:31.320 entering a
00:43:31.860 war that
00:43:32.240 could only
00:43:32.580 be a
00:43:32.900 disaster
00:43:33.220 for the
00:43:33.600 entire
00:43:33.880 world?
00:43:35.860 If you
00:43:36.520 ever imagined
00:43:37.280 that China 0.93
00:43:37.980 wanted to
00:43:38.460 be in a
00:43:38.820 hot war
00:43:39.340 with the
00:43:39.660 United
00:43:39.900 States,
00:43:40.680 you're
00:43:41.340 totally
00:43:41.620 wrong.
00:43:42.740 They do
00:43:43.180 not want
00:43:43.860 a real
00:43:44.500 war with
00:43:45.000 the United
00:43:45.300 States.
00:43:45.940 Not even
00:43:46.500 a little
00:43:46.860 bit,
00:43:47.240 not ever,
00:43:47.840 not over
00:43:48.360 anything.
00:43:49.220 And they
00:43:49.520 even said
00:43:49.960 not over
00:43:50.400 Taiwan.
00:43:52.060 Said so
00:43:52.540 directly.
00:43:54.220 Now,
00:43:55.020 is that
00:43:55.680 because they're
00:43:56.200 good,
00:43:56.700 peace-loving
00:43:57.200 people?
00:43:58.460 Is that
00:43:58.800 why I say
00:43:59.300 that?
00:43:59.540 No.
00:44:03.300 Do you
00:44:03.560 know why
00:44:03.840 China doesn't 1.00
00:44:04.580 need to get
00:44:05.060 in a war
00:44:05.540 with the
00:44:05.840 United States?
00:44:08.480 Because they're
00:44:09.240 winning.
00:44:10.260 Because they're
00:44:11.000 already poisoning
00:44:11.780 us with
00:44:12.300 TikTok.
00:44:13.040 They're poisoning
00:44:13.680 us with
00:44:14.220 fentanyl.
00:44:15.380 They're taking
00:44:16.280 over soft
00:44:17.260 control of
00:44:18.180 the entire
00:44:18.740 oceans around
00:44:20.140 them.
00:44:20.720 They're building
00:44:21.300 their military
00:44:22.020 like crazy
00:44:22.820 to expand
00:44:23.460 their power.
00:44:24.380 They're doing
00:44:24.720 the Belt and
00:44:25.560 Road Initiative
00:44:26.160 to get all
00:44:26.840 the other
00:44:27.160 countries in
00:44:27.700 the world
00:44:28.040 on their
00:44:28.560 team.
00:44:30.480 And eventually
00:44:31.180 they will
00:44:32.580 get Taiwan 0.98
00:44:33.180 back,
00:44:33.900 which they
00:44:35.000 completely
00:44:35.500 know.
00:44:36.680 Because
00:44:37.120 geography is
00:44:38.100 just too
00:44:38.420 important.
00:44:39.660 It might
00:44:40.020 not be
00:44:40.560 in 10
00:44:41.760 years.
00:44:42.520 It might
00:44:43.140 be in 100
00:44:43.620 years.
00:44:44.380 It might
00:44:44.740 be in 1,000
00:44:45.400 years.
00:44:46.460 But Taiwan
00:44:47.060 is going
00:44:47.640 to go
00:44:47.940 back to
00:44:49.200 China.
00:44:50.380 Right?
00:44:51.060 I mean,
00:44:51.420 it just
00:44:51.760 is.
00:44:52.840 So,
00:44:53.680 you know,
00:44:54.020 whether that's
00:44:54.500 good or
00:44:54.820 bad.
00:44:55.540 In fact,
00:44:56.700 maybe China
00:44:57.920 becomes something
00:44:59.420 like a
00:44:59.820 democracy in
00:45:00.620 300 years.
00:45:02.000 That could 0.68
00:45:02.320 happen.
00:45:03.340 It's totally
00:45:03.900 doable within
00:45:05.100 300 years.
00:45:07.600 So,
00:45:08.320 does China
00:45:09.220 need to do
00:45:09.960 something
00:45:10.420 different?
00:45:11.660 No.
00:45:12.500 What China
00:45:13.060 needs to do
00:45:13.660 more than
00:45:14.100 anything is
00:45:14.820 make sure
00:45:15.200 that there's
00:45:15.580 no hot
00:45:16.080 war.
00:45:17.180 Because
00:45:17.520 they're already
00:45:18.100 winning.
00:45:19.280 They're already
00:45:20.100 winning in the
00:45:20.900 destruction of
00:45:21.900 the system
00:45:23.040 of the United
00:45:23.440 States.
00:45:23.860 we've got
00:45:24.840 a debt
00:45:25.240 that looks
00:45:25.680 like it's
00:45:26.060 going to
00:45:26.300 crush us. 0.83
00:45:27.340 They've got
00:45:27.880 enough other
00:45:28.940 connections with
00:45:29.680 people to
00:45:30.220 buy and sell
00:45:30.740 things if
00:45:31.340 they had
00:45:31.660 to.
00:45:33.080 No.
00:45:33.720 There's no
00:45:34.220 way they
00:45:34.580 want a
00:45:34.860 hot war
00:45:35.300 anytime soon
00:45:36.200 or anytime
00:45:37.000 because they
00:45:38.220 don't need
00:45:38.540 one.
00:45:39.220 They're
00:45:39.580 projecting
00:45:40.140 their power
00:45:40.840 far more
00:45:41.820 effectively
00:45:42.280 without
00:45:42.960 bullets.
00:45:45.920 So,
00:45:47.240 there seems
00:45:48.580 to be a
00:45:49.220 trend on
00:45:49.980 the internet
00:45:50.520 which some
00:45:52.140 might say
00:45:52.660 I had
00:45:53.000 something to
00:45:53.520 do with
00:45:53.880 and some
00:45:54.320 might say
00:45:54.740 I did
00:45:55.100 not.
00:45:56.180 But I
00:45:56.400 saw
00:45:56.620 Jack
00:45:58.460 Pasabek
00:45:59.020 said,
00:46:00.060 and what
00:46:00.300 the trend
00:46:00.760 is,
00:46:01.140 is not
00:46:01.800 that people
00:46:02.240 are thinking
00:46:02.760 differently,
00:46:03.920 but that
00:46:04.340 what they're
00:46:04.760 willing to
00:46:05.280 say in
00:46:05.900 public.
00:46:07.060 So,
00:46:07.500 the story
00:46:08.220 is that
00:46:08.640 they would
00:46:08.880 say it
00:46:09.160 in public,
00:46:09.780 not that
00:46:10.240 they're
00:46:10.440 thinking it.
00:46:11.120 The thinking
00:46:11.500 is ordinary.
00:46:12.800 It's the
00:46:13.140 saying it.
00:46:15.380 So,
00:46:15.880 Jack
00:46:16.060 Pasabek
00:46:16.440 on X,
00:46:17.320 white people
00:46:17.860 are the only 0.96
00:46:18.380 ones who
00:46:18.800 are supposed
00:46:19.140 to hate
00:46:19.560 their own
00:46:19.880 race in
00:46:20.340 order to
00:46:21.740 be considered
00:46:22.300 good
00:46:22.660 people.
00:46:23.760 Whiteness 0.74
00:46:24.140 is the
00:46:24.460 only
00:46:24.660 culture
00:46:25.080 identified
00:46:26.000 by those
00:46:26.600 outside it
00:46:27.260 and not
00:46:28.100 those who
00:46:28.560 are part
00:46:28.940 of it.
00:46:30.300 The white 0.76
00:46:31.060 culture is
00:46:31.700 the only
00:46:32.240 one where
00:46:32.640 hatred of
00:46:33.380 it is
00:46:34.100 considered
00:46:34.500 a virtue.
00:46:36.800 Now,
00:46:37.060 if this
00:46:37.680 were just
00:46:38.060 Jack,
00:46:39.840 it's one
00:46:40.380 person's
00:46:40.800 opinion.
00:46:42.360 Also,
00:46:43.120 Eva
00:46:43.360 of
00:46:44.400 Lardinger
00:46:46.400 Broke,
00:46:47.780 I believe
00:46:48.360 she's
00:46:48.620 Dutch,
00:46:50.000 she said
00:46:50.460 everyone
00:46:51.600 is
00:46:51.900 allowed
00:46:52.140 to be
00:46:52.460 proud
00:46:52.740 of the
00:46:52.980 race
00:46:53.300 except
00:46:53.640 for
00:46:53.860 white
00:46:54.060 people 0.87
00:46:54.320 because
00:46:55.140 we've
00:46:55.400 been
00:46:55.540 brainwashed
00:46:56.060 into believing
00:46:56.600 that our
00:46:57.020 history was
00:46:57.560 somehow worse
00:46:58.360 than that
00:46:59.260 of other
00:46:59.620 races.
00:47:00.400 That false
00:47:01.060 narrative needs 0.99
00:47:01.840 to die.
00:47:02.980 If we really 0.99
00:47:03.760 want to be
00:47:04.360 in the comparing
00:47:05.820 game,
00:47:06.660 white people
00:47:07.320 have also
00:47:07.700 done a lot
00:47:08.220 of good
00:47:08.520 for the
00:47:08.800 world.
00:47:10.200 Now,
00:47:10.560 maybe you've
00:47:11.560 never heard
00:47:11.960 of her,
00:47:13.440 Eva.
00:47:13.880 She's
00:47:14.100 political in
00:47:15.300 some way,
00:47:15.600 I don't
00:47:15.800 know
00:47:15.960 exactly.
00:47:17.880 But here's
00:47:18.260 the interesting
00:47:18.640 part.
00:47:20.460 Elon Musk
00:47:21.140 responds to
00:47:22.080 that post
00:47:23.160 and says,
00:47:24.540 yeah,
00:47:24.900 this is
00:47:25.480 super messed
00:47:26.000 up.
00:47:27.120 Time for
00:47:27.780 this nonsense 0.80
00:47:28.380 to end
00:47:29.060 and shame
00:47:30.700 anyone who
00:47:31.420 perpetuates
00:47:32.160 these lies.
00:47:35.640 Elon Musk
00:47:36.300 just said
00:47:37.520 it's time to
00:47:38.040 stop hunting 1.00
00:47:38.600 white people. 0.98
00:47:41.140 Thank you,
00:47:41.960 Elon Musk.
00:47:42.520 Now,
00:47:45.120 did I make
00:47:45.920 it safer?
00:47:48.680 Did I make
00:47:49.440 it safer
00:47:49.920 for people
00:47:50.440 to say out
00:47:50.940 loud exactly
00:47:52.260 what they're
00:47:52.680 thinking?
00:47:55.040 Maybe.
00:47:57.160 Maybe.
00:47:59.060 Because I
00:47:59.980 think what I
00:48:00.500 signaled was
00:48:01.300 the, you
00:48:02.920 know, I've
00:48:03.100 told you this
00:48:03.520 before.
00:48:04.540 I don't know
00:48:05.240 if it's just
00:48:05.600 me or if
00:48:06.720 it's white
00:48:07.140 people. 0.87
00:48:08.320 Maybe you
00:48:08.940 could tell
00:48:09.280 me.
00:48:10.580 I'll ask
00:48:11.240 any colonists
00:48:12.500 on here.
00:48:14.220 Is it the
00:48:14.720 nature of 0.95
00:48:15.160 white people
00:48:15.620 that we're
00:48:16.000 very flexible
00:48:16.780 until we're
00:48:17.300 not?
00:48:19.220 That's my
00:48:19.900 take.
00:48:20.860 I feel like
00:48:21.660 white people 0.96
00:48:22.080 are very 0.85
00:48:22.580 flexible
00:48:23.060 until we're
00:48:24.320 not.
00:48:25.480 What I
00:48:26.200 signaled was
00:48:26.920 my point
00:48:27.660 of not.
00:48:28.760 That was
00:48:29.080 my turning
00:48:29.520 point.
00:48:30.760 That's where
00:48:31.380 I wasn't
00:48:31.760 going to
00:48:32.000 compromise
00:48:32.520 anymore.
00:48:34.340 Now, it
00:48:35.000 cost me,
00:48:35.660 very expensive,
00:48:37.120 but if
00:48:38.480 Jack and
00:48:40.160 Eva and
00:48:41.160 Elon can
00:48:42.000 all survive
00:48:42.740 what they
00:48:43.200 just said,
00:48:44.340 which is
00:48:44.800 the more
00:48:45.320 polite version
00:48:46.040 of what I
00:48:46.460 said.
00:48:46.940 I was being
00:48:47.420 provocative.
00:48:48.160 They were
00:48:48.300 being more
00:48:48.680 polite.
00:48:52.220 Maybe
00:48:52.700 something,
00:48:53.360 maybe there's
00:48:54.120 like a turn
00:48:55.040 in how we
00:48:55.560 think about
00:48:56.060 it and how
00:48:57.620 much we're
00:48:58.900 allowed to be
00:48:59.380 pushed.
00:49:00.120 But look
00:49:00.440 at this
00:49:00.800 specific wording
00:49:04.060 from Elon.
00:49:04.860 it's time
00:49:05.760 for this
00:49:06.080 nonsense to
00:49:06.880 end and
00:49:08.140 to shame
00:49:08.820 anyone.
00:49:10.640 And he
00:49:10.900 puts anyone
00:49:11.460 in capitals
00:49:12.200 who perpetuates
00:49:13.460 these lies.
00:49:15.180 What does
00:49:15.700 shame sound
00:49:16.580 like?
00:49:17.620 What's the
00:49:18.180 best way to
00:49:18.640 shame somebody?
00:49:21.740 Mock
00:49:22.340 them.
00:49:25.660 You
00:49:26.140 getting the
00:49:26.940 message yet?
00:49:30.220 Taking
00:49:30.740 them seriously
00:49:31.680 was always
00:49:32.660 the mistake.
00:49:33.380 the mistake
00:49:36.200 was allowing
00:49:36.920 that it
00:49:37.340 was an
00:49:38.600 acceptable
00:49:39.160 part of
00:49:39.700 the
00:49:39.820 conversation.
00:49:41.740 They
00:49:41.960 should be 0.98
00:49:42.400 mocked 0.64
00:49:43.400 until it's
00:49:46.040 just too
00:49:46.360 hard to
00:49:46.680 be them.
00:49:47.780 Because
00:49:48.100 mockery is
00:49:48.920 really
00:49:49.220 powerful.
00:49:50.580 Good
00:49:50.920 mockery is
00:49:51.520 really,
00:49:52.020 really
00:49:52.040 powerful.
00:49:53.240 So turn
00:49:53.800 up the
00:49:54.080 mocking
00:49:54.340 machines.
00:49:55.740 It's time
00:49:56.060 to go.
00:49:57.000 Well,
00:49:57.300 the little
00:49:58.180 battle
00:49:58.540 between,
00:49:59.480 I'll call
00:49:59.960 it a
00:50:00.160 battle just
00:50:00.640 for fun,
00:50:01.780 because we
00:50:02.120 like watching
00:50:02.620 these little
00:50:03.020 battles.
00:50:04.060 Between
00:50:04.380 Ben
00:50:04.780 Shibiro
00:50:05.100 and
00:50:05.320 Candace
00:50:05.600 Owens,
00:50:06.640 both of
00:50:07.320 the Daily
00:50:07.980 Wire.
00:50:09.520 And,
00:50:10.340 you know,
00:50:11.040 so this
00:50:12.900 is over,
00:50:14.140 I guess the
00:50:14.640 best way to
00:50:15.120 characterize it
00:50:15.840 would be
00:50:16.280 the Israel-Gaza 0.54
00:50:18.160 situation.
00:50:21.040 You know,
00:50:21.240 Ben is,
00:50:21.740 of course,
00:50:22.200 100% behind
00:50:23.180 Israel,
00:50:24.260 as am I.
00:50:25.560 And Candace
00:50:26.880 had maybe a
00:50:27.740 more nuanced
00:50:28.520 approach,
00:50:29.380 which was not
00:50:30.360 taken well
00:50:31.280 by those
00:50:32.660 who are
00:50:33.720 100%
00:50:34.260 in favor
00:50:35.960 of Israel.
00:50:37.180 Now,
00:50:37.880 I have a
00:50:38.800 theory that
00:50:39.640 I'm going
00:50:39.960 to test
00:50:40.400 out that
00:50:40.980 is relevant
00:50:41.520 to this
00:50:42.660 little battle.
00:50:43.600 And it
00:50:43.740 goes like
00:50:44.140 this.
00:50:44.960 And I'd
00:50:45.200 like to ask
00:50:46.280 you in the
00:50:46.660 comments,
00:50:47.960 true or
00:50:49.020 false.
00:50:50.080 See if you
00:50:50.580 agree with
00:50:50.940 this.
00:50:52.160 When the
00:50:52.620 war in
00:50:53.060 Gaza
00:50:53.460 happened,
00:50:57.020 well,
00:50:57.320 actually,
00:50:57.680 when October
00:50:58.100 7th happened,
00:50:58.860 which is
00:50:59.460 the whole
00:51:00.320 deal,
00:51:03.520 the women 0.97
00:51:04.100 who are
00:51:04.960 not involved
00:51:05.800 directly in
00:51:06.400 Israel,
00:51:07.140 so the
00:51:07.420 women in 0.62
00:51:07.780 America,
00:51:08.220 let's say,
00:51:09.360 they watched
00:51:10.020 it like a
00:51:10.640 story about
00:51:11.360 a war.
00:51:12.820 There's a
00:51:13.260 news story
00:51:13.840 about a
00:51:14.160 war,
00:51:14.840 and you
00:51:15.160 can imagine
00:51:15.700 it has
00:51:16.740 effects that
00:51:18.000 could affect
00:51:18.340 the world,
00:51:18.860 but it's a
00:51:19.440 news story
00:51:19.940 about the
00:51:20.280 war.
00:51:21.420 When men
00:51:22.200 in America
00:51:22.740 watched this
00:51:23.560 story,
00:51:24.800 they were
00:51:25.200 in the
00:51:25.600 war.
00:51:27.240 In other
00:51:27.600 words,
00:51:27.920 my personal
00:51:30.220 physical
00:51:30.940 sensation
00:51:31.600 was in
00:51:32.880 the war,
00:51:33.660 because when
00:51:34.640 I see
00:51:34.980 the people
00:51:36.160 fighting,
00:51:37.120 not just
00:51:37.660 the citizens,
00:51:38.880 I'm the
00:51:39.520 fighter.
00:51:40.560 That's the
00:51:40.940 one I put
00:51:41.340 my mind
00:51:41.960 into.
00:51:42.700 But more
00:51:43.120 to the
00:51:43.380 point,
00:51:44.480 the war
00:51:45.020 is not
00:51:45.500 just the
00:51:46.140 kinetic
00:51:46.780 part,
00:51:47.220 the bullets
00:51:47.640 flying around.
00:51:48.900 The war
00:51:49.360 is also
00:51:50.000 the persuasion,
00:51:52.540 the propaganda,
00:51:53.460 if you will.
00:51:54.360 That's as
00:51:54.800 much of the
00:51:55.260 war as
00:51:55.940 the bullets.
00:51:57.920 I feel,
00:52:00.080 and I
00:52:00.440 felt from
00:52:00.960 the first
00:52:01.400 moment of
00:52:01.880 October 7th,
00:52:03.300 that I
00:52:03.660 was not
00:52:04.020 a spectator,
00:52:05.700 that I
00:52:06.520 didn't have
00:52:06.800 any choice,
00:52:08.180 that I
00:52:08.540 was in
00:52:08.880 the war
00:52:09.280 as a
00:52:10.940 combatant.
00:52:12.280 And I
00:52:12.940 was completely
00:52:13.580 aware that
00:52:14.900 if I said
00:52:15.380 the wrong
00:52:15.820 things in
00:52:16.340 public,
00:52:16.760 my life
00:52:17.220 would be
00:52:17.560 destroyed in
00:52:18.320 a way that
00:52:18.800 being canceled
00:52:19.640 couldn't even
00:52:20.560 compare to.
00:52:22.820 Completely
00:52:23.380 aware.
00:52:24.180 Also aware
00:52:24.920 that I
00:52:25.600 could actually
00:52:26.040 be in
00:52:26.400 physical
00:52:26.860 danger if
00:52:28.200 I said
00:52:28.600 something that
00:52:29.200 was too
00:52:30.340 offensive to
00:52:31.040 some party.
00:52:33.480 So I
00:52:34.920 want to see
00:52:35.260 if you feel
00:52:35.800 the same.
00:52:37.000 This is a
00:52:37.500 male-female
00:52:38.040 difference.
00:52:39.720 I think
00:52:40.200 women were 1.00
00:52:40.940 observing the
00:52:41.880 war and
00:52:42.400 having strong
00:52:42.920 opinions about
00:52:43.600 it, and
00:52:44.600 the men are
00:52:45.080 in it, as
00:52:46.420 in we're
00:52:46.800 still in
00:52:47.240 it.
00:52:49.660 And I
00:52:50.260 would go
00:52:50.560 further to
00:52:51.100 say that
00:52:52.760 for the same
00:52:53.600 reason, I'll
00:52:54.160 just say this
00:52:54.620 until people
00:52:55.300 are really
00:52:55.600 mad at
00:52:55.940 me, for
00:52:56.880 the same
00:52:57.220 reason that
00:52:57.700 I don't
00:52:58.100 give my
00:52:58.540 opinions about
00:52:59.280 abortion, neither 0.93
00:53:00.440 the law nor
00:53:01.340 any individual
00:53:02.160 decision, because
00:53:03.460 I don't have
00:53:03.880 enough skin in
00:53:04.600 the game.
00:53:06.080 I'm okay if
00:53:06.880 you do.
00:53:07.560 If you do,
00:53:08.280 that's fine.
00:53:08.780 I don't care
00:53:09.160 what anybody
00:53:09.500 else does.
00:53:10.100 I'm telling
00:53:10.420 you personally, I
00:53:12.080 don't feel that
00:53:12.800 that's my place.
00:53:14.040 Like I'm not
00:53:14.800 adding to the
00:53:15.440 conversation.
00:53:16.340 There's plenty
00:53:16.840 of views that
00:53:17.520 carry all
00:53:18.520 points of view.
00:53:19.740 Mine would
00:53:20.380 just be one
00:53:21.640 person who
00:53:22.260 doesn't have a
00:53:23.400 stake.
00:53:24.620 But I
00:53:25.520 have a stake
00:53:25.940 in Israel.
00:53:27.640 I have a
00:53:28.380 stake in
00:53:28.700 that.
00:53:29.280 Because I
00:53:29.800 believe that
00:53:30.340 they are the
00:53:32.000 first line about
00:53:34.000 something that
00:53:34.620 could spread
00:53:35.140 over here.
00:53:36.880 And I
00:53:37.140 think that I
00:53:37.960 take sides
00:53:39.080 with Israel
00:53:39.640 for the very
00:53:40.600 simple reason
00:53:41.300 that Israel
00:53:42.500 would take my
00:53:43.160 side.
00:53:44.120 If this were
00:53:45.280 reversed, Israel
00:53:46.800 would be 100%
00:53:48.160 on my side.
00:53:50.060 But that's
00:53:50.820 not true for
00:53:52.380 Hamas. 0.73
00:53:52.980 Hamas would 0.99
00:53:54.400 kill me. 0.89
00:53:55.460 So for me, I 1.00
00:53:56.260 don't care who
00:53:56.740 did what to
00:53:57.720 anybody before
00:53:58.480 October 7th.
00:53:59.960 One of these
00:54:00.720 is on my
00:54:01.280 side and
00:54:02.300 would protect
00:54:02.940 me if I
00:54:03.460 were in a
00:54:03.780 pinch, and
00:54:04.740 likewise, in
00:54:05.500 the reverse.
00:54:06.600 And one of 1.00
00:54:07.260 them would kill 1.00
00:54:07.680 me if they 1.00
00:54:08.020 had a chance.
00:54:09.260 This is not
00:54:09.840 a jump
00:54:10.760 ball, Candace.
00:54:14.120 Candace, it's
00:54:14.820 not a jump
00:54:15.360 ball.
00:54:16.240 I'm with Ben
00:54:17.040 100%.
00:54:17.820 But getting
00:54:18.540 back to
00:54:18.980 Ben and
00:54:19.400 Candace, it
00:54:21.720 looks to you
00:54:22.340 like people
00:54:22.940 observing a
00:54:23.860 war and
00:54:24.220 having different
00:54:24.800 opinions.
00:54:25.820 It's not.
00:54:27.720 It's not two
00:54:28.680 people observing
00:54:29.480 a war and
00:54:30.040 having different
00:54:30.580 opinions.
00:54:31.480 It's one
00:54:31.960 person who
00:54:32.480 is very much
00:54:33.200 in the front
00:54:33.680 lines of the 1.00
00:54:34.320 fucking war, 0.99
00:54:35.360 which is Ben 0.99
00:54:35.900 Shapiro, and
00:54:37.140 one person who
00:54:37.760 is an observer.
00:54:40.320 So is that a
00:54:41.800 real conversation?
00:54:43.460 That's not like a
00:54:44.480 disagreement on
00:54:45.340 some facts.
00:54:45.960 That's one
00:54:46.960 person whose
00:54:47.760 opinion matters,
00:54:50.320 and Shapiro would
00:54:51.460 be an influential
00:54:52.720 person in both
00:54:54.600 countries.
00:54:55.300 He probably has
00:54:55.880 some influence in
00:54:56.540 Israel that we
00:54:57.320 don't fully
00:54:57.920 appreciate.
00:54:59.260 And he's in
00:55:00.540 the war, and I
00:55:02.300 appreciate the
00:55:03.040 fact that he's
00:55:03.880 not shading any
00:55:06.060 both-sides-ism and
00:55:07.200 trying to fool you
00:55:08.020 about his real
00:55:08.600 opinion.
00:55:09.040 He's just giving
00:55:09.580 it to you straight
00:55:10.200 out.
00:55:10.940 This is right,
00:55:11.840 this is wrong,
00:55:12.460 this is what I'm
00:55:12.980 doing.
00:55:13.780 Boom.
00:55:14.320 Totally respect
00:55:15.020 it.
00:55:15.960 And Candace
00:55:18.240 is, of course,
00:55:19.280 an American who
00:55:20.020 has a right to
00:55:20.800 an opinion.
00:55:21.680 But to see
00:55:22.260 them as somehow
00:55:23.220 equals having a
00:55:24.540 conversation about
00:55:25.400 the war is not
00:55:26.520 really what's
00:55:27.040 happening.
00:55:28.160 One of them's
00:55:28.740 in it, and the
00:55:30.760 other one became
00:55:31.440 an enemy.
00:55:33.140 In other words,
00:55:34.700 any suggestion that
00:55:36.500 there's maybe another
00:55:37.280 side to anything
00:55:38.620 that happened after
00:55:39.380 October 7th is not
00:55:41.240 what you want if
00:55:42.280 you're in the
00:55:42.840 war.
00:55:43.120 Ben's in the
00:55:45.440 war, just as I
00:55:46.820 am.
00:55:47.920 I'm a public
00:55:48.680 figure.
00:55:49.960 I took sides.
00:55:51.400 I'm in it.
00:55:53.320 So I wouldn't
00:55:56.120 look at it so
00:55:57.000 much as a
00:55:57.440 conversation as
00:55:59.040 somebody in the
00:56:00.100 war is going to
00:56:00.560 act differently
00:56:01.140 than somebody who's
00:56:02.140 observing.
00:56:03.400 That's all I see.
00:56:04.700 And I'd love to
00:56:05.500 see them have an
00:56:06.920 event where they
00:56:07.560 talk about it and
00:56:08.280 see what's what.
00:56:09.660 But I guess
00:56:12.680 Ben, they've
00:56:13.740 had a few
00:56:14.080 exchanges and
00:56:15.120 Ben said, blah,
00:56:16.520 blah, blah, you 1.00
00:56:17.100 know, by all
00:56:17.580 means quit if
00:56:18.280 you don't like
00:56:18.800 it.
00:56:19.560 You know, I'm
00:56:19.800 just summarizing.
00:56:22.860 But if she
00:56:24.680 gets forced
00:56:25.300 out, you know,
00:56:27.800 she probably 0.99
00:56:28.120 has some legal
00:56:29.080 recourse here or
00:56:30.000 she has a
00:56:30.400 contract, I'm
00:56:31.020 sure.
00:56:33.040 All right.
00:56:33.480 Mike
00:56:33.780 was pointing out
00:56:34.860 that Candace
00:56:35.580 might have
00:56:35.920 some legal,
00:56:38.500 say, some
00:56:39.740 legal legs to
00:56:40.900 stand on if
00:56:41.620 things go
00:56:42.300 wrong.
00:56:43.300 All right.
00:56:44.000 This is a
00:56:44.620 weird and
00:56:45.420 troubling story.
00:56:46.640 So, you know,
00:56:47.360 the IDF,
00:56:48.300 Israel's defense
00:56:49.820 force, was
00:56:51.440 being as
00:56:52.140 careful as
00:56:52.680 possible.
00:56:54.040 I mean, there's
00:56:54.600 a limit to what
00:56:55.180 you can do.
00:56:55.940 Trying to
00:56:56.640 capture the
00:56:57.280 hospital in
00:56:57.980 Gaza because
00:56:59.960 they believe
00:57:01.120 there's a
00:57:01.720 headquarters of
00:57:03.140 underground Hamas 0.76
00:57:04.280 tunnels there
00:57:04.920 and there's
00:57:05.300 always been
00:57:05.680 there.
00:57:07.320 So, apparently
00:57:08.340 they have
00:57:08.820 control of the
00:57:09.420 hospital now,
00:57:10.500 but they
00:57:11.880 can't find the
00:57:12.580 tunnels.
00:57:16.060 So, what's
00:57:18.700 going on
00:57:19.160 here?
00:57:20.720 Now, it's
00:57:21.940 early, so
00:57:23.560 here's what
00:57:24.340 seems likely.
00:57:27.560 What's likely
00:57:28.480 is that if
00:57:30.340 Hamas had 0.99
00:57:30.960 tunnels there
00:57:31.520 ever, that
00:57:32.920 they would
00:57:33.300 have hidden
00:57:33.660 those tunnels
00:57:34.220 as well as
00:57:34.920 you can hide
00:57:35.360 a tunnel.
00:57:36.460 But let me
00:57:36.860 ask you
00:57:37.260 this.
00:57:38.480 If you've
00:57:39.240 already rescued
00:57:40.000 the staff of
00:57:40.840 the hospital,
00:57:42.680 you tell me
00:57:43.620 there's nobody
00:57:44.180 on the staff
00:57:44.840 of the hospital
00:57:45.420 administration
00:57:46.160 who knows
00:57:47.420 where the
00:57:47.880 tunnel opening
00:57:48.560 is?
00:57:51.500 And you
00:57:52.120 don't think
00:57:52.600 that they've
00:57:53.040 been interrogated
00:57:54.640 sufficiently by
00:57:55.480 now?
00:57:55.700 how is it
00:57:58.940 possible that
00:58:00.540 they could
00:58:00.840 have functional
00:58:01.560 control of
00:58:02.360 the hospital
00:58:02.980 and that
00:58:04.120 there's nobody
00:58:05.100 there who
00:58:06.580 would tell
00:58:06.940 them where
00:58:07.280 the tunnel
00:58:07.700 opening is
00:58:08.460 in return
00:58:09.960 for, I
00:58:11.340 don't know,
00:58:12.540 maybe money
00:58:13.680 or good
00:58:14.200 treatment or
00:58:15.120 being airlifted
00:58:17.780 to a better
00:58:18.180 hospital, get
00:58:19.220 out of the
00:58:19.520 war zone?
00:58:20.620 There's nobody
00:58:21.260 you could
00:58:21.660 convince to
00:58:22.280 tell you
00:58:22.560 where the
00:58:22.860 tunnel opens.
00:58:24.900 The head
00:58:25.680 of the
00:58:25.920 hospital, the
00:58:26.940 administrators
00:58:27.520 of the
00:58:27.780 hospital, they
00:58:28.200 don't know
00:58:28.460 where the
00:58:28.640 tunnel opens
00:58:29.160 under the
00:58:30.360 hospital.
00:58:31.200 Or it's
00:58:31.840 possible that
00:58:32.500 there are no
00:58:32.980 openings under
00:58:34.180 the hospital.
00:58:34.860 It might be
00:58:35.380 under the
00:58:36.320 hospital but the
00:58:36.940 openings are
00:58:37.440 somewhere else.
00:58:38.440 Or there's
00:58:39.040 nobody in the
00:58:39.480 hospital that
00:58:39.900 could tell you
00:58:40.340 for sure
00:58:40.900 whether they're
00:58:42.260 under there.
00:58:43.960 So it
00:58:44.720 creates two
00:58:45.980 possibilities.
00:58:48.560 One
00:58:49.040 possibility is
00:58:49.880 that it
00:58:50.120 was never
00:58:50.600 true and
00:58:52.040 Hamas was 0.86
00:58:52.780 always trying
00:58:53.340 to bait
00:58:53.860 Israel into 0.89
00:58:55.520 destroying a
00:58:56.140 hospital that
00:58:56.820 never had
00:58:57.280 any tunnels
00:58:57.800 in there.
00:58:58.840 The other
00:58:59.500 possibility is
00:59:00.280 that they did
00:59:00.740 have some
00:59:01.120 offices in
00:59:01.960 the hospital
00:59:02.480 because they
00:59:03.120 didn't find
00:59:03.460 some assets
00:59:04.020 like a
00:59:04.480 laptop and
00:59:05.060 stuff, you
00:59:06.100 know, some
00:59:06.420 minor assets.
00:59:08.120 So maybe
00:59:08.520 they had some
00:59:09.980 presence there but
00:59:11.540 it got exaggerated
00:59:12.660 in the telling.
00:59:13.840 You know, maybe
00:59:14.120 it was one of
00:59:14.540 those telephone
00:59:15.640 things where
00:59:16.280 somebody says,
00:59:17.420 Hamas has an 1.00
00:59:18.680 office in the
00:59:19.240 hospital.
00:59:19.880 And then the
00:59:20.780 next person
00:59:21.280 hears, Hamas 0.91
00:59:22.500 has a whole
00:59:23.680 bunch of
00:59:24.060 buildings or
00:59:24.820 a whole bunch
00:59:25.220 of property
00:59:25.680 in the hospital.
00:59:27.060 And then the
00:59:27.500 next person
00:59:27.900 is, they've
00:59:28.560 got a bunch
00:59:28.920 of property
00:59:29.340 in the
00:59:29.560 hospital and
00:59:30.320 they have
00:59:31.100 their underground
00:59:31.600 tunnels accessed
00:59:32.540 from there.
00:59:33.740 And then it
00:59:34.060 turns into, they
00:59:35.240 don't just have
00:59:35.720 access to the
00:59:36.360 underground tunnels
00:59:37.080 but they've got
00:59:37.920 most of their
00:59:38.460 complexes under
00:59:39.240 the hospital.
00:59:41.900 How impossible
00:59:44.420 would that be?
00:59:46.700 Kind of totally
00:59:47.620 possible, isn't
00:59:48.400 it?
00:59:49.880 Now, I'm
00:59:52.280 still going to
00:59:52.860 bet that they
00:59:53.900 do have a
00:59:54.500 facility under
00:59:55.260 there.
00:59:56.020 So if I have
00:59:56.480 to put my
00:59:56.880 money on it, I'm
00:59:57.620 going to bet on
00:59:58.060 the IDF.
00:59:59.680 I think the
01:00:00.220 IDF and their
01:00:01.060 sources are
01:00:03.280 probably good
01:00:03.840 enough that they
01:00:05.580 actually know
01:00:06.100 there's something
01:00:06.560 down there.
01:00:07.200 So I think
01:00:07.740 they'll find it
01:00:08.480 but it's a real
01:00:10.820 head-scratcher that
01:00:11.680 they haven't found
01:00:12.260 it yet.
01:00:13.700 So we'll see.
01:00:14.500 And it
01:00:19.820 appears that I've
01:00:22.260 printed my same
01:00:23.280 notes several
01:00:24.100 times for no
01:00:24.900 particular reason
01:00:25.860 that that would
01:00:27.760 be exactly
01:00:29.860 eight o'clock
01:00:30.740 my time and
01:00:32.840 exactly one hour
01:00:33.780 of high-quality
01:00:34.560 live-streamed
01:00:35.560 content, the best
01:00:37.080 thing you've ever
01:00:37.520 seen.
01:00:38.020 And don't you
01:00:38.860 wish that you
01:00:39.680 didn't saw this
01:00:40.220 without commercials?
01:00:41.660 Yeah.
01:00:42.060 That's what the
01:00:42.640 people on local
01:00:43.240 see.
01:00:43.640 They see it
01:00:43.980 with no
01:00:44.240 commercials.
01:00:45.360 If you're on
01:00:46.000 YouTube, you're
01:00:46.580 like, oh, I
01:00:47.340 have to get past
01:00:47.940 this commercial.
01:00:48.760 No, you don't
01:00:50.200 have to.
01:00:51.100 But if you
01:00:51.520 were a subscriber
01:00:52.760 on YouTube
01:00:53.460 to YouTube's
01:00:54.780 whatever tube
01:00:55.980 it is thing,
01:00:57.220 then you could
01:00:57.780 also skip the
01:00:58.600 commercials.
01:00:59.480 Let me give a
01:01:00.000 commercial for
01:01:00.580 YouTube.
01:01:02.340 YouTube is,
01:01:03.600 you know, for
01:01:03.940 all we complain
01:01:04.660 about it and
01:01:05.320 the suppressing
01:01:06.860 of traffic, which
01:01:07.820 we believe to be
01:01:08.540 true, it is one
01:01:09.960 of the greatest
01:01:10.560 technological
01:01:11.340 inventions of
01:01:12.360 all time.
01:01:13.360 It is by far
01:01:14.560 better entertainment
01:01:16.000 than almost all
01:01:17.220 scripted everything.
01:01:18.980 Like, I can
01:01:19.660 always find
01:01:20.320 something on
01:01:20.820 YouTube to
01:01:21.360 watch.
01:01:22.580 The odds that
01:01:23.280 I could go to
01:01:23.800 cable or regular
01:01:24.960 streaming service
01:01:25.840 to find content,
01:01:27.760 very low chance.
01:01:29.780 Odds of me
01:01:30.440 finding something
01:01:31.140 fascinating and
01:01:32.100 interesting on
01:01:32.740 YouTube within
01:01:33.480 one minute,
01:01:34.460 really good.
01:01:35.820 Really good.
01:01:37.220 So YouTube is
01:01:37.980 like a wonder
01:01:38.900 of, you
01:01:40.120 know, American
01:01:41.120 brilliance and
01:01:42.740 technological
01:01:43.780 innovation and
01:01:44.980 also the
01:01:46.100 interfaces for
01:01:46.880 YouTube are
01:01:47.480 just unusually
01:01:48.920 good.
01:01:49.860 Just really,
01:01:50.780 really strong
01:01:51.380 technical work
01:01:52.360 going on there.
01:01:54.180 But, given
01:01:55.620 all that, the
01:01:56.320 advertisements are
01:01:57.120 almost impossible
01:01:57.860 to get through.
01:01:59.100 So the best
01:02:00.140 money you'll ever
01:02:00.800 spend for
01:02:01.620 entertainment is
01:02:02.660 to upgrade your
01:02:04.320 YouTube to get
01:02:05.520 an ad-free
01:02:06.640 version.
01:02:07.820 It just, an
01:02:09.580 ad-free version
01:02:10.340 of YouTube could
01:02:11.160 replace all your
01:02:11.900 other streaming
01:02:12.460 services, in my
01:02:13.600 opinion.
01:02:15.640 All right.
01:02:17.280 But, if you
01:02:18.040 wanted to be on
01:02:18.520 the Locals Network,
01:02:19.380 you can see my
01:02:19.880 other comic.
01:02:20.940 You can see,
01:02:22.240 you can read for
01:02:23.560 free the PDFs of
01:02:25.340 my books, God's
01:02:26.200 Debris and the
01:02:27.880 Religion War. 0.53
01:02:29.680 And, you get a
01:02:31.000 lot more political
01:02:31.640 content as well.
01:02:32.900 and all the
01:02:33.940 live streams
01:02:34.440 where they don't
01:02:34.860 commercials.
01:02:36.060 So that's my
01:02:36.860 commercial for my
01:02:37.560 commercial.
01:02:38.920 Has anybody, if I
01:02:39.860 missed anything
01:02:40.280 today?
01:02:40.740 Is there any
01:02:41.000 story I missed?
01:02:43.420 You can also
01:02:44.240 subscribe to the
01:02:45.580 new Dilbert's
01:02:46.380 calendar and
01:02:48.520 digital form on
01:02:49.720 X.
01:02:54.980 Yeah, they don't
01:02:55.680 like ad blockers.
01:02:56.840 You don't do
01:03:03.160 subscriptions?
01:03:04.880 I think the whole
01:03:05.780 world will be
01:03:06.440 subscription.
01:03:10.280 You know, in my
01:03:11.840 perfect world,
01:03:12.960 everything would be
01:03:13.760 subscription.
01:03:15.020 But, instead of
01:03:16.180 charging X dollars
01:03:17.360 for a subscription,
01:03:18.580 I would charge you
01:03:19.380 10 cents a month.
01:03:21.500 And, that would be
01:03:22.380 good for me because
01:03:23.360 there would be so
01:03:23.960 many people who got
01:03:24.700 a subscription because
01:03:25.720 it was cheap.
01:03:26.840 So, if we can get
01:03:29.020 to the place where
01:03:29.720 everything is
01:03:30.420 subscription, and
01:03:31.860 you can decide which
01:03:33.060 of your 10 cents
01:03:33.920 goes where, that's
01:03:36.440 a good world.
01:03:37.580 I'd love to get
01:03:38.220 there.
01:03:38.600 I think we're
01:03:39.000 heading that way.
01:03:42.040 Statewide subscription
01:03:43.160 model.
01:03:44.220 What would that do?
01:03:45.260 All right.
01:03:52.380 If you're not
01:03:53.200 following Dilbert Reborn,
01:03:55.440 you would miss the
01:03:56.300 best comic I've ever
01:03:57.240 done today.
01:03:59.080 It actually might be
01:04:00.580 my favorite comic.
01:04:02.080 It was suggested by
01:04:03.060 one of the local
01:04:03.660 subscribers.
01:04:05.320 And, the idea is
01:04:06.060 that Dilbert goes to
01:04:08.440 someplace called the
01:04:09.460 Department of
01:04:11.140 Disinflammation.
01:04:12.640 the Department of
01:04:14.780 Disinflammation.
01:04:16.400 He goes up to a
01:04:17.140 window and
01:04:17.740 Dogbert's the
01:04:18.600 clerk on the other
01:04:20.040 side of the window.
01:04:21.400 And Dilbert says,
01:04:22.240 I have inflammation
01:04:23.240 in my knee.
01:04:25.000 And, Dogbert says,
01:04:26.320 no, you don't.
01:04:31.320 I've read my own
01:04:32.300 comic like a thousand
01:04:33.340 times, and I laugh
01:04:34.300 every time I read it.
01:04:35.660 No, you don't.
01:04:36.280 All right, if that
01:04:39.340 doesn't make you
01:04:39.900 laugh, well, you're
01:04:41.320 dead inside. 0.96
01:04:42.600 Dead inside, I say.
01:04:44.880 Yeah, Stephen
01:04:45.340 Pastis would be
01:04:46.220 proud.
01:04:47.480 Wasn't that a
01:04:48.200 ziggy?
01:04:50.940 All right.
01:04:52.400 Did you see the
01:04:53.180 images of all
01:04:54.280 Chinese flags in
01:04:55.400 San Francisco?
01:04:57.320 Did anybody see
01:04:57.800 those pictures?
01:04:58.520 It was like...
01:04:59.920 But then, did you
01:05:00.840 see the other
01:05:01.420 images?
01:05:02.060 I saw a live
01:05:02.700 video where there
01:05:03.580 were American flags
01:05:05.720 there as well.
01:05:07.520 Did you see the
01:05:08.160 version where there
01:05:08.820 were also big
01:05:09.520 American flags?
01:05:11.300 Because I wonder
01:05:11.780 if the version that
01:05:12.560 had all Chinese 0.80
01:05:13.380 flags was a fake
01:05:14.340 version.
01:05:15.120 Did somebody remove
01:05:16.660 them?
01:05:18.340 Because I definitely
01:05:19.100 saw one with
01:05:21.100 American flags in
01:05:22.500 between Chinese 0.51
01:05:23.240 flags.
01:05:25.020 So maybe they
01:05:25.900 came later?
01:05:27.180 Maybe it looked
01:05:28.020 like a bad idea
01:05:28.800 and somebody rushed
01:05:29.520 into some American
01:05:30.400 flags?
01:05:30.940 I don't know.
01:05:33.040 That's not a big
01:05:33.880 story.
01:05:34.560 Anyway, that's all
01:05:35.300 for today.
01:05:36.180 YouTube, I'm
01:05:36.800 going to say
01:05:37.080 bye.
01:05:37.440 I'm going to
01:05:37.720 talk to the
