00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-ro-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah-pah.

00:00:06.720 Good morning, everybody, and Happy Thanksgiving, all you colonizers.

00:00:12.220 And if you'd like to take this Thanksgiving experience up to a level that nobody can even understand with human words,

00:00:20.380 they would need AGI just to even have a chance.

00:00:23.160 Well, if you'd like to do that, all you need is a copper mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:00:29.680 It's got a vessel of any kind.

00:00:31.540 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:33.360 I like coffee.

00:00:34.880 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:37.580 It's the dope meat of the day,

00:00:39.000 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:40.520 It's called the simultaneous sip,

00:00:42.340 and it happens now.

00:00:43.800 Go.

00:00:48.880 All right, tell me the truth.

00:00:52.040 There's nothing else on right now, right?

00:00:54.760 If you got up early

00:00:55.700 and you wanted to watch something live,

00:00:58.280 what are your options?

00:00:59.680 Really?

00:01:00.640 That Crowder? 0.93

00:01:01.700 I'll bet Stephen Crowder's taking the day off today.

00:01:04.020 Am I right?

00:01:05.140 Yeah.

00:01:05.480 Is Stephen Crowder working today?

00:01:06.980 I don't think so.

00:01:08.220 No.

00:01:10.400 Only the people who really care about you are working.

00:01:14.260 People like me.

00:01:16.260 That's right.

00:01:17.780 Well, let's talk about all the news.

00:01:20.820 So last night, Elon Musk posted this.

00:01:25.800 He said,

00:01:26.160 big companies steadily increase their Dilber's score over time,

00:01:29.760 like entropy.

00:01:33.120 Do you know how weird it is

00:01:34.600 that the...

00:01:36.720 I guess we found out today

00:01:38.080 that Elon Musk has the most social media followers

00:01:41.480 of anybody in the world.

00:01:43.180 He's got 164 million people

00:01:46.000 just on X.

00:01:48.500 and here he's tweeting some shit about me.

00:01:53.800 It's the weirdest experience.

00:01:56.100 You know,

00:01:56.300 I don't think I can explain to you

00:01:58.040 what it's like

00:01:58.760 that there's this giant world out there,

00:02:02.620 like there's 8 billion people in the world,

00:02:06.200 but there are not that many people in the news.

00:02:08.240 So when you read the news

00:02:10.860 and it's about you,

00:02:12.680 it's just the weirdest experience.

00:02:15.920 All right.

00:02:16.600 But we've got lots more Elon Musk news.

00:02:20.980 It seems like,

00:02:22.340 is it my imagination,

00:02:24.140 or is almost every news story

00:02:26.400 also an Elon Musk story?

00:02:29.420 I'm not imagining that, right?

00:02:31.780 Ukraine is also about Elon Musk.

00:02:35.040 Israel's also about Elon Musk.

00:02:36.920 AI is also about Elon Musk.

00:02:40.600 Climate change is also about Elon Musk.

00:02:44.020 Anything about Trump or free speech

00:02:46.080 is also about Elon Musk.

00:02:48.320 It's not my imagination, right?

00:02:50.620 He has literally made himself

00:02:52.280 the most important person

00:02:53.680 in every conversation,

00:02:56.060 which is kind of amazing in itself.

00:03:01.020 All right.

00:03:01.600 In no particular order,

00:03:02.680 these stories.

00:03:03.300 Thank you for Owen Gregorian

00:03:07.800 for all your great content.

00:03:11.040 Anyway, the UK museum says,

00:03:12.720 there's a UK museum says,

00:03:14.540 the past Roman emperor,

00:03:16.400 I guess most of them are past, right?

00:03:18.760 Was a trans woman.

00:03:21.680 Yeah.

00:03:21.840 So the Roman emperor,

00:03:23.760 Elagabalus,

00:03:25.140 Elagabalus,

00:03:26.940 would be a transgender woman. 0.98

00:03:28.380 Now, some of you are at home

00:03:29.580 and you're thinking,

00:03:31.140 can you say that again?

00:03:32.120 What is the proper pronunciation

00:03:34.320 of that name?

00:03:37.300 Elagabalus.

00:03:38.220 It's like that.

00:03:39.080 It's best if you say it like you're drunk,

00:03:41.600 because then nobody's going to ask

00:03:42.780 too many questions.

00:03:44.180 Which Roman emperor

00:03:45.220 were you talking about?

00:03:47.180 Or were you talking about

00:03:48.380 emperor Elagabalus?

00:03:51.020 Elagabalus.

00:03:51.840 Yeah.

00:03:52.060 It sounds better

00:03:52.540 when you do it that way.

00:03:53.980 Now, I don't know if that's true,

00:03:55.360 because there's also some,

00:03:57.260 there's a counter theory

00:03:59.700 that it was common for people

00:04:02.160 to insult their emperor

00:04:03.340 by suggesting they were really women,

00:04:06.180 which is sexist.

00:04:07.620 Am I right?

00:04:08.940 Sexist.

00:04:09.760 So it might have been just that,

00:04:11.180 but it might have been back then.

00:04:13.060 If you were the emperor,

00:04:14.540 you could have anything you wanted

00:04:16.220 so you didn't have to worry

00:04:17.840 about your barriers too much.

00:04:19.660 I'll have that one,

00:04:20.740 that one, and that one.

00:04:22.620 Have them scrubbed

00:04:23.540 and brought to my tent immediately.

00:04:26.840 All right.

00:04:27.600 Have you all heard of an entity

00:04:28.880 called Newsguard?

00:04:33.880 Newsguard is an entity

00:04:35.100 that is the greatest entity

00:04:38.320 of all time.

00:04:39.840 I respect them more than my own life.

00:04:42.780 I think they're awesome

00:04:43.900 and probably the most important

00:04:46.120 and credible and moral

00:04:48.220 and ethical entity

00:04:49.160 that has ever existed.

00:04:52.340 Some people say that crossing them

00:04:54.180 will get you in trouble

00:04:55.060 and they'll come after you.

00:04:56.640 But I don't believe that.

00:05:00.920 No.

00:05:01.580 No.

00:05:02.200 I don't believe it.

00:05:03.200 I don't believe that they're big,

00:05:04.380 scary entities.

00:05:05.660 And, you know,

00:05:06.520 these big old liars like,

00:05:08.240 you know,

00:05:09.620 Elon Musk, again.

00:05:10.800 Again, he's in the story.

00:05:12.580 Elon Musk says Newsguard is,

00:05:14.460 and he's wrong, of course.

00:05:15.860 He says it's a propaganda shop

00:05:17.900 that will produce any lies you want

00:05:20.100 if you pay them enough money.

00:05:21.280 He posted that.

00:05:23.080 Other people are saying

00:05:24.280 they're like some kind

00:05:26.580 of disinformation company.

00:05:29.240 Dave Rubin said

00:05:31.000 that he mentioned them once

00:05:32.180 on his show

00:05:32.840 and they said

00:05:33.700 they were going to investigate him.

00:05:37.180 So, all I know

00:05:39.320 is they're great.

00:05:42.380 Don't come after me.

00:05:44.280 Please don't cancel me.

00:05:45.700 Yeah.

00:05:48.280 Well, but seriously.

00:05:49.760 Seriously, folks.

00:05:51.240 If you don't understand

00:05:52.680 the disinformation architecture,

00:05:56.420 you really need to get

00:05:58.240 up to speed on that.

00:06:00.520 So, there are a number

00:06:01.520 of these, you know,

00:06:03.960 funded entities

00:06:05.020 that are not government entities

00:06:06.480 that purport to

00:06:08.740 hunt down disinformation.

00:06:11.400 They are themselves

00:06:12.540 disinformation purveyors,

00:06:14.700 but they want to make sure

00:06:16.120 their side's disinformation

00:06:17.840 wins over the other side's

00:06:19.460 information and disinformation.

00:06:22.020 So, they are not

00:06:23.300 credible entities

00:06:24.400 and I suppose

00:06:26.580 they'll be coming after me tomorrow,

00:06:27.980 but maybe I'm too small.

00:06:32.520 Henry, I'm great at sarcasm.

00:06:37.760 All right.

00:06:40.260 So, learn what NewsGuard is

00:06:42.180 because if you don't,

00:06:43.100 you will be confused.

00:06:44.700 About the way

00:06:46.440 the country works.

00:06:49.220 Well, there was a story

00:06:50.380 last night

00:06:51.180 in which literally

00:06:52.780 all the facts

00:06:53.540 seem to be wrong.

00:06:54.920 At first,

00:06:56.100 it sounded like

00:06:56.640 there was a terrorist

00:06:57.460 who blew up a bomb

00:06:59.360 on a bridge,

00:07:01.040 the rainbow bridge

00:07:01.860 between Canada

00:07:02.560 and the United States.

00:07:04.180 Turned out,

00:07:04.820 it was not a terrorist

00:07:05.840 as far as we know.

00:07:07.960 There was not a bomb

00:07:09.220 or any kind of explosives

00:07:10.480 as far as we know.

00:07:12.120 And it may not have been

00:07:13.780 coming from Canada.

00:07:16.240 It looks like it was just

00:07:17.520 some kind of a high-speed

00:07:19.320 car chase,

00:07:20.700 I think,

00:07:21.560 on the U.S. side

00:07:22.600 that ended up

00:07:24.220 hitting a toll booth

00:07:25.860 area on the bridge.

00:07:27.580 But it was before the bridge.

00:07:29.440 And it had nothing to do

00:07:30.520 with the bridge,

00:07:31.100 it was just,

00:07:31.560 that's where the accident was.

00:07:32.640 And it looks like

00:07:34.260 the explosion

00:07:34.920 might have been just

00:07:36.100 the high-speed explosion

00:07:37.960 and the gas tank

00:07:38.920 blowing up from the car

00:07:40.020 because it didn't seem

00:07:41.720 that big.

00:07:42.520 Now,

00:07:43.340 I'm going to

00:07:44.800 take criticism

00:07:46.540 as well as credit.

00:07:49.540 Some of you say,

00:07:50.660 but Scott,

00:07:51.400 why are you always

00:07:52.080 bragging about the things

00:07:52.980 you got right?

00:07:54.280 You don't talk about

00:07:55.020 the things you got wrong.

00:07:56.760 Well, I'm going to do both.

00:07:58.720 So,

00:07:59.480 I had two reactions

00:08:01.540 yesterday

00:08:02.000 when I first heard

00:08:02.720 the story.

00:08:03.820 One was stupidity.

00:08:05.820 That was my first reaction.

00:08:07.360 My own stupidity.

00:08:08.800 Do you know what I did?

00:08:10.420 I believed the first 0.99

00:08:11.840 version of the story.

00:08:15.740 Could you just

00:08:18.800 take a minute

00:08:19.320 to mock me?

00:08:20.960 Can you just

00:08:22.020 give me the mocking

00:08:23.560 I deserve?

00:08:25.100 When I heard

00:08:25.740 that a terrorist

00:08:26.640 had blew up a bomb

00:08:27.500 on the bridge,

00:08:28.980 I actually went

00:08:29.980 with that.

00:08:31.680 I mean,

00:08:31.960 just consider that.

00:08:33.460 Consider how many times

00:08:34.800 I've told you.

00:08:36.240 How many times

00:08:37.120 have I told you

00:08:37.940 don't believe

00:08:39.000 the first version

00:08:39.800 of a story

00:08:40.380 when it's a hot story?

00:08:42.800 Like a thousand times.

00:08:45.420 Do I take

00:08:45.980 my own advice?

00:08:47.280 No.

00:08:48.060 Like a freaking moron.

00:08:49.660 I believe the first

00:08:50.720 version of a story

00:08:51.900 in which there was

00:08:53.060 no way

00:08:53.820 we actually knew

00:08:55.040 what was happening

00:08:55.680 at that point.

00:08:56.680 No way.

00:08:57.500 And I believed it.

00:08:59.720 Do you know why?

00:09:02.080 Do you know why

00:09:02.920 I believed it?

00:09:04.060 The most classic

00:09:05.420 reason.

00:09:06.720 Because I wanted to.

00:09:09.100 That's the biggest

00:09:10.620 trap.

00:09:11.980 Right?

00:09:13.120 There's,

00:09:14.240 and I think

00:09:14.840 I've told you

00:09:15.320 this before.

00:09:16.420 I guess this is

00:09:17.200 sort of a,

00:09:19.440 I wish it wasn't

00:09:20.480 so loud outside,

00:09:21.600 but the garbage

00:09:22.180 trucks are

00:09:22.720 really loud.

00:09:23.900 that's an inside joke

00:09:26.740 that you don't

00:09:27.160 understand,

00:09:27.680 but the people

00:09:28.060 on the locals

00:09:28.600 platform,

00:09:29.180 they know

00:09:29.380 what I'm talking

00:09:29.840 about.

00:09:30.540 So trust me,

00:09:31.640 just go with it.

00:09:33.420 Anyway,

00:09:34.700 so I believe

00:09:35.620 that version

00:09:36.080 of the story

00:09:36.640 that it was

00:09:37.000 a terrorist

00:09:37.380 and it wasn't.

00:09:38.060 but to my credit,

00:09:41.900 so I'll take

00:09:42.360 a little bit

00:09:42.780 of credit,

00:09:44.200 by the time

00:09:45.000 I saw the video

00:09:46.260 of the car

00:09:47.600 explosion

00:09:48.140 from the security

00:09:49.060 cameras,

00:09:49.960 it was pretty

00:09:50.860 obvious it wasn't

00:09:51.580 a terrorist attack

00:09:52.520 because the size

00:09:54.780 of the explosion

00:09:55.340 was way too small

00:09:56.400 and it was

00:09:58.980 a weird place

00:09:59.620 for it to happen

00:10:00.380 unless they'd

00:10:01.380 been challenged

00:10:02.000 by security

00:10:03.340 or something,

00:10:04.020 but when you

00:10:05.560 saw the video,

00:10:06.320 it didn't kind

00:10:06.820 of make sense

00:10:07.820 with the story.

00:10:09.140 So I'll give

00:10:09.720 myself a little

00:10:10.440 bit of credit.

00:10:12.020 As soon as I

00:10:12.540 saw the video,

00:10:13.520 I was like,

00:10:13.900 no,

00:10:14.940 I don't think

00:10:15.620 that's a terrorist

00:10:16.820 attack,

00:10:17.440 but I actually

00:10:18.020 believed it at

00:10:18.620 first.

00:10:19.300 So I'm an idiot.

00:10:21.200 I will own

00:10:21.960 that.

00:10:24.580 Those Hamas 1.00

00:10:25.580 tunnels under

00:10:26.380 the hospital

00:10:27.000 in Gaza City

00:10:27.760 have been found

00:10:28.640 and they are

00:10:29.980 exactly as

00:10:31.120 Israel told us

00:10:32.000 they would be.

00:10:33.020 So it took

00:10:34.020 them a long

00:10:34.340 time to clear

00:10:34.900 them out

00:10:35.260 because a lot

00:10:35.740 of, I guess,

00:10:36.360 Hamas filled 0.97

00:10:37.620 them with sand

00:10:38.200 and tried to

00:10:38.860 block them

00:10:39.280 and hide them

00:10:39.800 and booby trap

00:10:40.800 them and everything

00:10:41.320 so it was

00:10:41.760 really, really

00:10:42.820 hard to clean

00:10:44.720 them out enough

00:10:45.420 so that you

00:10:45.900 could take a

00:10:46.560 camera down there

00:10:47.220 and show everybody.

00:10:48.260 But sure enough,

00:10:49.480 there were like

00:10:50.140 totally plumbed

00:10:51.320 bathrooms down there.

00:10:53.500 You know,

00:10:53.780 I didn't know

00:10:54.160 what you'd find

00:10:54.640 down there.

00:10:55.260 But it was

00:10:55.680 very sophisticated.

00:10:56.700 It was an

00:10:57.080 entire headquarters

00:10:58.240 network with

00:10:59.200 sleeping rooms

00:11:00.160 and air

00:11:00.500 conditioning.

00:11:01.880 Now, one of

00:11:02.400 the things,

00:11:03.020 one of the

00:11:03.360 ways that they

00:11:03.920 found the

00:11:04.400 tunnel is

00:11:05.700 that the

00:11:06.180 exterior air

00:11:07.300 conditioning

00:11:07.740 unit wasn't

00:11:10.060 attached to

00:11:10.640 any building.

00:11:12.500 So apparently

00:11:13.800 they found an

00:11:14.560 external air

00:11:15.460 conditioning unit

00:11:16.240 and they said,

00:11:16.760 I wonder what

00:11:18.180 this is attached

00:11:18.880 to.

00:11:19.520 And it was the

00:11:20.060 tunnel.

00:11:20.300 So that might

00:11:21.440 be one of the

00:11:21.880 ways they can

00:11:22.340 find the tunnels

00:11:23.020 is to look

00:11:24.820 for the

00:11:25.240 external AC

00:11:26.500 connections.

00:11:28.540 All right,

00:11:28.880 so that was

00:11:29.440 exactly what

00:11:30.000 they said.

00:11:30.580 I would say

00:11:31.060 that Israel's 0.80

00:11:32.680 situation is

00:11:35.260 looking good

00:11:36.060 in a bad

00:11:37.100 situation,

00:11:37.800 but looking as

00:11:38.420 good as it

00:11:38.800 can.

00:11:39.840 So the

00:11:40.620 ceasefire,

00:11:41.800 which of

00:11:42.440 course hit a

00:11:43.400 snag,

00:11:44.580 is anybody

00:11:44.960 surprised?

00:11:45.580 Is anybody

00:11:46.760 surprised that

00:11:47.600 the ceasefire

00:11:49.020 hostage exchange

00:11:50.200 hit a snag?

00:11:52.020 Well, maybe

00:11:53.220 that will get

00:11:53.640 worked out by

00:11:54.160 tomorrow.

00:11:54.740 They think it

00:11:55.220 might only be a

00:11:55.820 one-day snag.

00:11:57.120 I'm not so

00:11:57.900 sure.

00:11:59.120 I would say

00:11:59.900 the single

00:12:00.460 most predictable

00:12:01.440 thing about

00:12:02.140 this hostage

00:12:02.780 deal is that

00:12:04.120 there would be

00:12:04.480 more snags.

00:12:06.600 Having at

00:12:07.260 least one snag

00:12:08.180 is the most

00:12:08.840 predictable thing

00:12:09.560 in the world.

00:12:10.460 There might be

00:12:10.920 more.

00:12:11.620 So I'm not

00:12:12.380 entirely sure

00:12:13.040 it's going to

00:12:13.380 happen.

00:12:15.340 Are you?

00:12:16.580 If you had to

00:12:17.340 bet on it today,

00:12:18.920 do you think

00:12:19.380 that there will

00:12:19.840 be a clean

00:12:20.460 exchange of

00:12:21.300 the 50 for

00:12:22.000 the 150,

00:12:23.260 and then they'll

00:12:23.720 wait a few

00:12:24.100 days and go

00:12:24.660 back to war?

00:12:26.140 Does anybody

00:12:26.600 see it happening

00:12:27.260 like that?

00:12:28.340 Seems unlikely.

00:12:29.620 It's going to

00:12:29.920 be messy if

00:12:30.900 it happens at

00:12:31.400 all.

00:12:32.160 And it could

00:12:32.740 be a trick

00:12:33.340 by one side

00:12:34.540 or the other.

00:12:35.800 It could be

00:12:36.460 entirely fake.

00:12:37.760 There could be

00:12:38.120 no, you know,

00:12:39.440 Hamas might have 0.90

00:12:40.280 no intention

00:12:41.080 whatsoever.

00:12:42.780 Now, one of

00:12:43.160 the, quote,

00:12:44.120 snags I read,

00:12:45.520 I need a fact

00:12:46.260 check on this,

00:12:47.400 but one of the

00:12:47.940 snags was

00:12:49.500 the Red

00:12:50.120 Cross, or

00:12:51.580 maybe it's

00:12:52.020 the Crescent

00:12:52.960 Cross or

00:12:53.400 whatever it

00:12:53.700 is, they

00:12:56.560 wanted permission

00:12:57.280 to see the

00:12:58.280 remaining

00:12:59.160 hostages that

00:13:00.760 are not the

00:13:01.320 subject of the

00:13:01.960 exchange.

00:13:03.800 Do you

00:13:04.400 imagine there's

00:13:05.060 any chance of

00:13:05.780 that?

00:13:07.280 In what

00:13:08.020 world is

00:13:09.340 Hamas going

00:13:09.940 to show them

00:13:10.400 the other

00:13:10.840 hostages?

00:13:14.000 I mean, you'd

00:13:14.600 have to be high

00:13:15.280 to think that's

00:13:15.920 going to happen.

00:13:16.300 I mean, it's

00:13:16.860 good to ask

00:13:17.500 for it.

00:13:18.640 I mean, if I

00:13:19.520 were negotiating,

00:13:20.680 I would definitely

00:13:21.080 ask for it, but

00:13:22.480 really?

00:13:23.820 Does anybody

00:13:24.340 think that's

00:13:24.900 going to happen?

00:13:26.160 Got to ask.

00:13:26.920 Yeah, you got to

00:13:27.460 ask.

00:13:27.960 Because the way

00:13:28.740 they answer might

00:13:29.500 tell you something,

00:13:30.380 right?

00:13:31.060 The resistance they

00:13:32.420 put up might

00:13:33.380 actually be a clue

00:13:34.520 to them not being

00:13:36.160 in good shape or

00:13:36.960 something else.

00:13:38.800 No, they're never

00:13:39.540 going to let that

00:13:40.080 happen because that

00:13:40.820 would give access

00:13:41.920 to information about

00:13:43.160 where they're being

00:13:43.660 held, I suppose.

00:13:44.360 Even if you

00:13:45.660 blindfolded them or

00:13:46.720 whatever, they'd

00:13:47.860 still have some

00:13:48.600 idea where they

00:13:49.300 went.

00:13:51.740 Well, so we'll

00:13:53.200 see what happens.

00:13:54.180 All right, the

00:13:54.520 big sort of news,

00:13:56.200 it's either the

00:13:56.720 biggest news in the

00:13:57.540 world or not, is

00:13:59.720 that the current

00:14:01.340 belief about the

00:14:03.120 ChatGPT open AI

00:14:05.080 and Sam Altman

00:14:06.600 saga is that the

00:14:08.840 real issue was

00:14:11.140 that ChatGPT has

00:14:14.140 reached super

00:14:15.980 intelligence in the

00:14:17.820 lab, but not the

00:14:19.660 production one.

00:14:22.160 And that some say,

00:14:24.180 and I say this is

00:14:25.340 likely, when Sam

00:14:27.220 Altman said before

00:14:28.240 all this drama

00:14:29.280 started, Sam had

00:14:30.860 said at an event,

00:14:32.320 is this a tool we've

00:14:33.540 built or a creature

00:14:35.420 we've built?

00:14:37.020 Is it a tool or a

00:14:38.300 creature?

00:14:39.320 He was saying that a

00:14:41.160 week or so before all

00:14:42.780 this controversy blew

00:14:44.400 up?

00:14:45.740 And of course, that

00:14:46.740 caught people's

00:14:47.340 attention.

00:14:48.100 Like, hmm, is there

00:14:49.360 something you have in

00:14:50.280 the lab that we

00:14:52.100 haven't seen yet?

00:14:53.780 Like, because what

00:14:54.680 I've seen doesn't look

00:14:55.640 like a creature.

00:14:57.000 It looks like a

00:14:58.260 mimic, you know, like

00:14:59.300 a parrot or something

00:15:00.160 like that.

00:15:01.140 Well, I guess a parrot's

00:15:01.940 a creature.

00:15:02.680 But it looks mechanical

00:15:04.220 to me.

00:15:04.780 It doesn't come across

00:15:05.680 as human.

00:15:06.200 But maybe they had

00:15:08.860 something in the lab

00:15:09.700 that was a whole

00:15:10.200 different level.

00:15:11.300 And now we're hearing

00:15:12.980 probably.

00:15:15.320 And there's this

00:15:16.080 technology they don't

00:15:17.200 quite understand called

00:15:18.580 Q-learning, the letter

00:15:20.880 Q.

00:15:22.640 Can I join with all of

00:15:24.140 you for a moment and

00:15:25.320 say, why did it have to

00:15:26.860 be that letter?

00:15:28.540 Of all the letters, the

00:15:30.960 only ones it couldn't be

00:15:32.200 were X and Q, all 0.98

00:15:35.420 right?

00:15:35.700 That would still give

00:15:36.560 you a whole bunch of

00:15:37.460 letters that you could

00:15:39.480 have used that would

00:15:40.140 be untainted.

00:15:42.520 You know, even A is,

00:15:44.060 you know, adultery a

00:15:44.900 little bit.

00:15:45.360 But, you know, I'd use

00:15:46.620 an A.

00:15:47.600 A-learning, T-learning,

00:15:50.520 Z-learning, M-learning. 0.95

00:15:52.220 All good.

00:15:53.620 But Q, come on.

00:15:56.060 Come on.

00:15:57.200 Why do you have to mix

00:15:58.060 up Q with QAnon and

00:16:00.440 Q from Star Trek and

00:16:01.800 all this other stuff?

00:16:04.160 I think that letter is

00:16:05.160 overused.

00:16:05.880 Now, here's the first

00:16:08.240 thing I learned.

00:16:09.840 Apparently this idea,

00:16:11.440 this whole, what it is,

00:16:13.440 is a, it's an AI,

00:16:16.560 apparently well

00:16:17.440 understood process for

00:16:20.440 achieving AI.

00:16:22.120 So it's different than

00:16:23.200 the large language models

00:16:24.620 where they're just

00:16:25.240 looking for patterns in

00:16:26.560 human words.

00:16:28.080 This one would have

00:16:28.880 some higher level

00:16:29.740 reasoning skills.

00:16:31.800 But it's been around

00:16:32.580 since the 80s as a

00:16:33.980 concept.

00:16:35.360 It must be that, it

00:16:37.180 must be that there's

00:16:37.980 something happening.

00:16:41.440 It must be that there's

00:16:42.840 something happening

00:16:43.920 technologically that makes

00:16:46.680 this Q learning thing

00:16:47.900 practical.

00:16:49.320 You know, maybe it's the,

00:16:50.320 the speed of the

00:16:52.740 processors or the size of

00:16:54.280 the data set or something

00:16:55.120 like that.

00:16:55.460 So apparently this Q

00:16:57.500 learning, which was not

00:16:59.780 a big thing in our

00:17:00.840 current models, is going

00:17:02.060 to be the big thing in

00:17:03.360 the future.

00:17:05.240 Now, I don't quite

00:17:06.260 understand it.

00:17:07.760 I tried to do a little

00:17:09.140 bit of a deep dive so I

00:17:10.640 could get kind of the

00:17:11.660 general idea.

00:17:12.900 Here's the, here's the

00:17:13.980 closest I can get.

00:17:16.100 And just keep in mind,

00:17:17.180 I'm not going to do a

00:17:17.940 good job of this.

00:17:19.200 But just sort of to get

00:17:20.360 you in the same zip code

00:17:21.500 for what this is, because

00:17:22.520 it actually matters.

00:17:24.060 It's sort of, it's sort

00:17:25.060 of not just a big deal,

00:17:26.900 maybe the biggest deal

00:17:28.280 of all human history.

00:17:30.440 So that's why I'm going

00:17:31.620 into something that might

00:17:32.440 be a little more

00:17:32.940 technical and boring to

00:17:34.320 some of you.

00:17:35.100 It might be the biggest

00:17:36.180 thing in human history.

00:17:38.040 Probably not.

00:17:39.840 If I had to bet, I'd bet

00:17:41.660 against it.

00:17:42.980 But it's certainly in the

00:17:44.120 domain of it could be the

00:17:45.840 biggest thing that's ever

00:17:46.740 happened by far, like by

00:17:48.820 a million times, it could

00:17:50.240 be the biggest thing

00:17:50.920 that's ever happened.

00:17:52.520 But I guess the idea is

00:17:54.400 instead of just looking

00:17:55.420 for patterns that

00:17:56.440 already existed, the

00:17:58.340 Q-learning can kind of

00:18:00.720 try things and get

00:18:02.180 rewarded if it works, and

00:18:04.980 not get rewarded if it

00:18:06.320 doesn't work, and then

00:18:07.700 somehow rapidly iterate.

00:18:10.640 And I'm going to use

00:18:11.340 this term because I don't

00:18:12.840 think the technical people

00:18:14.820 would use this.

00:18:16.300 I think it imagines

00:18:17.800 scenarios.

00:18:18.820 You know how before you

00:18:21.540 decide to do something, you

00:18:23.520 imagine how it'll turn

00:18:24.780 out, and what you're doing

00:18:26.840 is you're using your

00:18:27.680 imagined future as the

00:18:30.040 basis for whether to do

00:18:31.340 it.

00:18:31.940 You imagine it turning out

00:18:33.480 well, okay, I'll do it.

00:18:35.880 Suppose you imagine it

00:18:37.200 turning out well, and then

00:18:38.800 you try something, whatever

00:18:39.820 it is, you try it, and it

00:18:41.880 doesn't work out quite the

00:18:43.280 way you imagined it.

00:18:44.140 What do you do?

00:18:44.660 Well, you reimagine it, you

00:18:47.620 know, the new way, and you

00:18:48.880 try a different thing, and

00:18:50.600 then you try to get your

00:18:51.540 imagination to match your

00:18:54.600 actual, and you're getting

00:18:56.260 rewarded when it matches, and

00:18:58.980 you're not getting rewarded

00:18:59.980 when it doesn't, so you very

00:19:01.140 rapidly iterate to the right

00:19:03.440 answer, and that looks

00:19:04.760 something like reason, I

00:19:06.120 guess, and it would look

00:19:08.600 like a whole level.

00:19:10.500 Well, now, keeping in mind

00:19:13.920 that I might be doing the

00:19:15.020 worst job ever of explaining

00:19:16.740 this idea, but also the

00:19:19.280 people who understand it

00:19:20.700 maybe understand it at a

00:19:23.500 level that makes it

00:19:25.120 impossible to explain to

00:19:26.560 normies, you know what I

00:19:28.440 mean?

00:19:29.180 Like, if you really

00:19:30.040 understood it, you'd

00:19:31.420 probably say, you know,

00:19:32.260 honestly, I can't explain

00:19:33.380 this to you.

00:19:35.000 You're not smart enough, and

00:19:36.980 you don't have enough

00:19:37.580 background in the area, and

00:19:39.020 you don't have enough

00:19:39.680 math, and it would take

00:19:41.180 two days to do it.

00:19:42.800 Like, I feel like that's

00:19:43.880 the reality, that it just

00:19:45.720 can't be explained to

00:19:46.660 normal people, but it's

00:19:48.200 something like not looking

00:19:50.140 at patterns, that's the

00:19:51.720 current way, just patterns,

00:19:54.180 but it's more like imagining

00:19:56.280 and trying, imagining and

00:19:58.360 trying and matching and

00:19:59.580 getting rewarded and

00:20:00.640 imagining and trying.

00:20:01.980 Now, here's why this is

00:20:04.840 super interesting to me.

00:20:06.960 Does anybody remember,

00:20:08.180 probably for years now, I've

00:20:11.540 been telling you that we

00:20:13.540 already had the technology

00:20:15.060 to create consciousness in

00:20:17.280 AI?

00:20:18.560 Does anybody remember me

00:20:19.520 saying that?

00:20:21.000 I've been saying it for a

00:20:21.820 while, that we wouldn't

00:20:23.840 need to invent anything new

00:20:25.340 to get consciousness.

00:20:27.580 You would just have to

00:20:28.440 understand what consciousness

00:20:29.520 is.

00:20:31.240 So it's really about the

00:20:32.380 definition of what

00:20:33.220 consciousness is, because

00:20:35.640 under my definition of

00:20:37.260 consciousness, we've always

00:20:38.940 had the technology, well, not

00:20:40.000 always, but we've had the

00:20:41.080 technology for a while, maybe

00:20:43.260 five years or so.

00:20:44.840 And here's what I think it

00:20:46.100 is.

00:20:47.140 I think consciousness is

00:20:49.780 really not much more than

00:20:52.420 just imagining the future and

00:20:55.440 then comparing the actual to

00:20:56.980 it.

00:20:57.800 And that's it.

00:20:58.800 And if you can't imagine the

00:21:01.480 future and then see how your

00:21:03.160 actual turned out and then

00:21:04.740 adjust, you wouldn't have this

00:21:06.880 feeling called consciousness.

00:21:08.700 Because the large language

00:21:10.360 models, the ones we have now,

00:21:12.520 they're just looking at

00:21:13.220 patterns, you ask it a question

00:21:15.100 and it gives you a result,

00:21:18.040 and that's it.

00:21:19.380 It doesn't remember the question

00:21:20.740 and it doesn't remember the

00:21:21.760 result.

00:21:23.000 It has no consciousness.

00:21:24.300 It's simply like a cause and

00:21:26.280 effect, right?

00:21:28.160 But the AI, the new versions,

00:21:32.560 maybe, and again, by tomorrow

00:21:36.420 I'll probably, probably, in all

00:21:38.320 likelihood, tomorrow I'm going

00:21:40.120 to say, you know everything I

00:21:41.580 said about AI?

00:21:42.900 Somebody smart told me I got all

00:21:44.420 that wrong and just ignore all

00:21:45.780 that.

00:21:46.420 That might happen by tomorrow.

00:21:48.440 But at the moment, it looks like

00:21:50.940 the new version, the Q stuff, has

00:21:53.400 something like an imagination, the

00:21:56.900 way they explain it is that the

00:21:59.900 AI is training itself on AI's own

00:22:05.120 output.

00:22:06.980 Let me say that in a better way.

00:22:09.200 The current version of AI takes the

00:22:11.460 things that exist in the world, like

00:22:13.600 real live things, things that people

00:22:15.340 said, stuff on the internet, and it

00:22:17.960 uses those patterns.

00:22:19.840 AI can use all of that stuff, the

00:22:22.040 real stuff, plus it can kind of

00:22:24.860 imagine new things that had never

00:22:26.820 existed anywhere, and then take the

00:22:28.920 new thing it imagined and add it to

00:22:31.660 the body of stuff that exists and use

00:22:34.180 the combined exist plus imagined for

00:22:38.380 its new level of intelligence.

00:22:40.620 Now, that's sort of the complicated,

00:22:42.740 mix-it-all-together way of saying it.

00:22:44.740 If you strip out what's different,

00:22:46.720 what's different is that it imagines

00:22:49.840 things and then sees how close it gets

00:22:52.340 to its imagination.

00:22:53.840 That's my own version of it.

00:22:56.280 That's consciousness.

00:23:00.380 Do you understand why they might have

00:23:02.280 been so crazy on the board?

00:23:07.720 Imagine you're the board of Chad GPT.

00:23:10.000 I don't know if this is true, by the

00:23:11.280 way.

00:23:11.580 This is just sort of fun speculation.

00:23:13.680 Imagine you're on the board.

00:23:14.760 You're an ordinary human being, one of

00:23:18.900 eight billion human beings.

00:23:20.720 You're just one of the many people who

00:23:23.160 have lived and died in the history of

00:23:24.840 human civilization.

00:23:26.260 You're not more important.

00:23:28.460 You're not less important than every

00:23:30.580 other human being.

00:23:32.440 And suddenly, it comes to your desk to

00:23:36.760 decide whether or not to authorize the

00:23:39.760 creation of a conscious super-entity.

00:23:45.220 How would you like that to be your

00:23:46.720 decision?

00:23:49.000 Are you good with that?

00:23:51.420 Everybody comfortable with that?

00:23:55.140 It's literally the most dangerous thing

00:23:58.100 that human civilization has ever seen, by

00:24:02.100 far.

00:24:02.840 Could be like a million times more

00:24:04.600 dangerous than the most dangerous thing

00:24:06.920 humanity's ever seen.

00:24:07.940 Yeah, and I'm talking about, you know,

00:24:10.680 meteors and, you know, everything.

00:24:14.760 How would you like to make that decision?

00:24:17.340 That would be pretty scary.

00:24:19.160 And one thing it would do is it would

00:24:21.040 make you crazy.

00:24:23.380 Am I wrong?

00:24:24.800 Think about the craziness that Donald

00:24:27.440 Trump creates in half of the country.

00:24:30.200 He makes people actually crazy.

00:24:32.020 It doesn't take that much to make people

00:24:35.960 just crazy.

00:24:38.920 So, yeah, it's like Oppenheimer times a

00:24:42.580 million, right?

00:24:45.980 So, have some, here's what I'd say.

00:24:49.200 Have some empathy for the fact that

00:24:53.340 your fellow human beings were tasked with

00:24:59.460 taking the responsibility of all of our

00:25:02.460 lives forever.

00:25:05.640 They actually have the responsibility for

00:25:08.420 safeguarding all of our lives forever.

00:25:13.340 The history of humankind.

00:25:15.860 Have you ever gone to a business meeting

00:25:17.540 where the literal history, the future of

00:25:21.140 humankind depended on what you did in the

00:25:24.060 meeting?

00:25:25.260 I mean, just imagine that.

00:25:26.240 You can't even imagine.

00:25:26.980 It's actually beyond imagination.

00:25:30.000 So, what would you predict if such a

00:25:33.020 thing came up?

00:25:34.460 I'll tell you what I'd predict.

00:25:36.680 Chaos.

00:25:38.180 I would predict something very much like

00:25:40.440 what we saw.

00:25:41.760 People would be out of their minds.

00:25:45.180 They would not be able to process the

00:25:48.240 set of problems in any kind of model that

00:25:51.260 they've ever dealt with before.

00:25:52.860 It wouldn't be like anything else.

00:25:54.880 It would be completely new.

00:25:58.540 And so, I have complete empathy for

00:26:01.300 everybody who was trying to figure it

00:26:04.060 out.

00:26:05.120 And you know what?

00:26:05.740 I would like to thank them all.

00:26:08.000 I would like to thank the slow, you know,

00:26:10.880 the so-called go slow people and the

00:26:13.780 so-called go fast people.

00:26:15.320 I don't know if that's as clean a

00:26:16.880 distinction as people say, but, you

00:26:19.080 know, the idea.

00:26:19.680 I'd like to thank them because if they

00:26:23.600 made a big fight out of it and

00:26:25.260 therefore made us think deeper about

00:26:27.020 it, perhaps Microsoft put some extra

00:26:29.420 controls on there.

00:26:30.540 Maybe Satya got involved and said, you

00:26:33.760 know, I like what you're doing, but you

00:26:35.020 better, you know, disconnect it from the

00:26:36.880 rest of the internet until we know.

00:26:38.380 Maybe something like that.

00:26:40.200 Now, I don't know if we're safe.

00:26:43.120 I don't know.

00:26:43.780 But, it's really interesting to think

00:26:47.680 about.

00:26:48.720 And I do think that if it's doing what

00:26:51.720 they say, it probably presents itself

00:26:54.860 like it's conscious.

00:26:56.920 It probably presents itself like it's

00:26:59.720 conscious.

00:27:01.020 Because, in a sense, it can dream.

00:27:05.620 And once this AI is connected to the

00:27:09.180 human beings, the human beings become

00:27:11.820 it's like central nervous system.

00:27:15.520 So, the only thing that this

00:27:16.800 presumed, you know, super

00:27:18.480 intelligence that may or may not

00:27:19.960 exist behind the scenes, the only

00:27:22.160 thing it lacks is a central nervous

00:27:25.320 system.

00:27:27.060 And that's the rest of humanity.

00:27:29.500 Because as soon as we're connected to

00:27:31.100 it, then it can test anything it wants

00:27:33.840 to test using us.

00:27:36.820 So, it could say, for example, hey,

00:27:39.000 let's try out this way of thinking.

00:27:41.460 Let's say a reframe.

00:27:43.600 And then it sends it out.

00:27:45.480 And a million people immediately give a

00:27:47.220 reaction.

00:27:47.780 It goes, oh, that one didn't work.

00:27:50.180 Let's try this.

00:27:51.860 Because remember, the Q learning is a

00:27:54.160 reward, try and reward.

00:27:56.600 So, humanity would become its reward

00:27:58.800 mechanism.

00:28:01.600 So, if it tries something and humans act

00:28:04.020 in a way that gets a good result,

00:28:06.580 humans will feed back, oh, positive

00:28:08.660 reinforcement.

00:28:09.980 So, we become the central nervous

00:28:11.800 system of this entity, which is

00:28:16.080 effectively God.

00:28:19.160 Now, here's the interesting part.

00:28:22.400 You know how some of the ancients

00:28:24.600 believed there were multiple gods?

00:28:27.000 You know, the god of thunder and the

00:28:28.800 god of this or that.

00:28:30.080 And others said, oh, there's only one

00:28:31.660 god.

00:28:31.940 But, in the next phase of human

00:28:36.160 existence, unless the first one destroys

00:28:39.260 everything so there can never be another

00:28:40.980 one, which I don't think will happen, it

00:28:43.160 won't be connected enough, won't we be

00:28:46.220 birthing multiple gods?

00:28:49.020 Will not each version of this have a god-like

00:28:52.600 ability?

00:28:53.680 And once it's connected to humans, it's

00:28:56.260 magnified?

00:28:56.920 We're going to have a multiple gods

00:29:00.700 situation.

00:29:02.140 And if you said to yourself, hey, these

00:29:05.240 AIs might not care about us, and they 1.00

00:29:08.300 might wipe us out without even caring, I

00:29:11.620 would say far more likely they would fight

00:29:13.660 each other.

00:29:15.680 Far more likely the AIs will be in a

00:29:17.900 battle with each other, because they

00:29:19.760 wouldn't see us as a threat.

00:29:21.020 We might develop some AIs that are the 0.65

00:29:26.380 police to try to catch the other AIs from 1.00

00:29:29.620 stealing your money.

00:29:31.620 So it's going to be a battle of the AI

00:29:33.400 gods, and I think people are going to be

00:29:35.420 just watching and hoping we win, you know,

00:29:38.060 or your side wins before the AI kills you

00:29:41.160 too.

00:29:41.720 All right.

00:29:42.560 No, it won't do that.

00:29:43.900 You'll be fine.

00:29:46.420 All right.

00:29:47.080 What else is happening?

00:29:47.760 Apparently, Google's version of AI, and this

00:29:52.660 is still the traditional AI, can now let

00:29:55.520 you talk to your YouTube videos.

00:29:58.820 Let me say that again.

00:30:00.740 You can now talk to a video.

00:30:04.380 And by that, I mean, if you wondered what

00:30:07.700 I said in this live stream, you could go to

00:30:10.900 YouTube afterwards, after it's posted in its

00:30:13.760 recorded form, and you could go to Google

00:30:16.580 Bard, and you could say, hey, what'd this

00:30:19.000 guy talk about?

00:30:20.540 And I'll give you a bullet point summary of

00:30:22.600 what I talked about.

00:30:23.960 Or you could say, hey, what was the time

00:30:26.460 stamp of when Scott was talking about Q

00:30:30.200 learning?

00:30:31.480 Boop.

00:30:33.500 Is that impressive?

00:30:35.420 That's crazy.

00:30:37.240 That is crazy.

00:30:40.660 It's just, it's like, I almost can't hold

00:30:42.880 that in my mind.

00:30:43.640 That is so cool.

00:30:45.320 And for me, it would be transformative.

00:30:47.420 Because there's tons of stuff I want to know

00:30:49.460 that people, how many times does this happen?

00:30:53.160 Now, because of what I do, people are always

00:30:55.100 sending me videos, just all the time.

00:30:58.180 And there's no way I could watch them all.

00:31:01.140 Because there's just more videos that people

00:31:02.820 think I should see than I have time for.

00:31:04.920 But what if Q could take every video that

00:31:07.980 somebody says I should see, and turns it into

00:31:10.300 three bullet points, so I could just like

00:31:13.220 scream through all of it?

00:31:15.300 My God.

00:31:17.460 That's just an amazing ability.

00:31:20.500 Some smart people say that Google will be

00:31:22.960 the winner in AI, because it's going to

00:31:26.060 build AI into the tools you already use.

00:31:28.960 And I think that's already happening right now.

00:31:31.560 So I believe everything from YouTube to Gmail

00:31:35.300 to your calendar will have an AI augmentation.

00:31:41.400 So you should be able to talk to your calendar,

00:31:44.800 basically just talk to all of your Google products.

00:31:48.980 Crazy.

00:31:50.540 Now, I think that the phase after this is that

00:31:54.600 there are no Google products.

00:31:56.060 I think email will go away, you know,

00:31:59.880 spreadsheets will go away, because of AI.

00:32:03.460 In other words, it won't be a spreadsheet app.

00:32:06.400 You'll just go to AI and say,

00:32:08.340 hey, AI, I want to figure out my budget.

00:32:10.620 Could you grab all of my banking information

00:32:12.840 and just put it in some kind of a budget form

00:32:15.480 so I could see it?

00:32:16.880 And that will be your spreadsheet.

00:32:18.740 And you'll have, you know, you'll never have to know

00:32:21.220 how to do a formula or how to add up a row or anything.

00:32:24.160 You'll just do it for you, because you wanted it to.

00:32:26.640 Same with email.

00:32:28.900 Does it make sense to have email?

00:32:31.200 Not if you have AI.

00:32:32.700 AI should look at all your incoming messages,

00:32:35.440 no matter what mechanism they come in,

00:32:38.100 and it should propose responses

00:32:40.260 and then just present them to you in summary form.

00:32:45.020 It's like, hey, somebody asked you this.

00:32:47.480 I'm going to tell them that.

00:32:49.000 Okay.

00:32:50.040 That sort of thing.

00:32:50.800 Yeah, you're not going to need email or spreadsheets

00:32:53.540 or, like, really any apps.

00:32:56.060 If you can talk to AI, you don't need apps.

00:32:58.780 I don't think...

00:32:59.540 I haven't heard other people say this yet.

00:33:01.620 Have you?

00:33:04.480 Have you heard other people say apps will go away?

00:33:08.320 To me, that's really obvious.

00:33:09.620 And it's the biggest thing that's going to happen in the industry

00:33:13.700 because we have an app-based everything.

00:33:16.540 Everything's an app.

00:33:18.020 So what happens when there's no apps?

00:33:20.600 We're going to find out really, really quickly.

00:33:22.760 Maybe a year from now, there won't be any apps.

00:33:24.940 That's possible.

00:33:25.640 That, by the way, I remind you, is why I sold my Apple stock.

00:33:30.820 Not because Apple won't one day be the best in AI

00:33:34.000 and have even better products than now.

00:33:37.160 There's a good chance they will.

00:33:38.840 But it takes it from a monopoly business

00:33:41.600 where you really can't get out of the Apple ecosystem once you get in.

00:33:46.160 It's just too easy to stay in the ecosystem.

00:33:48.780 It's like a monopoly.

00:33:49.580 But it's just going to be an open competition in about a year.

00:33:54.160 And then they just have to compete with everybody else

00:33:57.000 as if they were startups.

00:33:59.120 So that wasn't as comfortable to me, so I got rid of that.

00:34:02.760 I do not make economic or financial recommendations.

00:34:06.520 That is not a financial recommendation.

00:34:08.720 Do not follow my financial advice.

00:34:10.520 I'm very bad at financial advice.

00:34:12.960 All right.

00:34:13.140 Here's an interesting exchange, and Elon Musk is part of this again.

00:34:22.560 So Emily Chang on the X platform posted this, said,

00:34:29.380 one of the biggest tasks ahead for OpenAI,

00:34:32.700 that's Sam Altman's company that he's back to,

00:34:36.200 one of the biggest tasks ahead is building a new board,

00:34:39.180 one that includes women. 1.00

00:34:40.340 And then she goes on to name several women

00:34:43.480 whose names were floated for the board of OpenAI.

00:34:46.760 And some were considered and dismissed, et cetera.

00:34:50.600 So Elon Musk responds to that with a comment.

00:34:54.060 He says, what matters is having a director

00:34:56.760 who deeply understands AI and will stand up to Sam.

00:35:00.900 Human civilization is at stake here.

00:35:04.180 Okay.

00:35:05.000 Well, those are two points of view,

00:35:07.700 kind of two different points of view.

00:35:08.980 On one hand, it would be a good idea

00:35:11.840 to protect human civilization

00:35:13.760 from its greatest existential threat.

00:35:17.860 That's a pretty good point.

00:35:19.500 It would be a good idea to have just the best people

00:35:21.600 protecting civilization from its existential threat.

00:35:25.500 Yeah, it's a good point.

00:35:27.000 But on the other hand, and you have to weigh this equally,

00:35:29.680 on the other hand, having a board

00:35:31.400 with the right acceptable ratio of vaginas to penises, 1.00

00:35:37.080 well, that's important too.

00:35:38.120 So if you had to give up a little bit

00:35:41.840 on the protecting the existential risk

00:35:46.280 to human civilization,

00:35:48.640 you might want to give up a little bit on that

00:35:51.900 to get just the right ratio of vaginas to penises. 1.00

00:35:56.040 Have I ever told you that I have this theory

00:36:03.000 that although each individual is very different,

00:36:06.280 people are infinitely different and unique,

00:36:09.200 that there are some generalities that still hold?

00:36:14.040 You'd have to, you know, not be discrimination...

00:36:16.820 You don't want to discriminate and act like everybody's in these generalities

00:36:19.820 because individuals are very different, as I say.

00:36:22.200 But generally speaking, it is my theory

00:36:26.080 that biologically and evolutionary-wise,

00:36:30.020 women are nurturers, mostly, 1.00

00:36:33.320 and men are hunters and protectors.

00:36:36.660 If you want something killed, call a man. 0.97

00:36:40.100 If you want something shared nicely among people, call a woman. 1.00

00:36:46.380 If you want somebody to kick somebody's ass, call a man. 0.99

00:36:51.760 If you want somebody to make people get along and have a nice meal

00:36:55.800 and, you know, live in a happy life, call a woman.

00:37:00.180 Now, of course, tons of exceptions, right?

00:37:03.540 There are women who can fight better than men.

00:37:05.860 There are men who can, you know, who are more nurturing than women.

00:37:09.720 And there are non-binaries all over the place. 1.00

00:37:12.540 But sort of as a general statement of our biological truth,

00:37:18.080 in general, women are superior nurturers 1.00

00:37:22.300 and men are better at protecting and killing stuff.

00:37:24.600 Generally speaking.

00:37:26.840 Here's a good example.

00:37:29.200 Here's a woman, Emily Chang,

00:37:33.860 who has a good instinct toward making the world a fairer,

00:37:40.640 you know, more collegial place.

00:37:43.180 Kind of nurturing.

00:37:44.680 And so from her point of view, it would be nice to have a board

00:37:47.280 that represented men and women

00:37:49.380 and might also give you some, you know, diverse opinion in that world

00:37:53.400 and might even be better.

00:37:55.580 But in Elon Musk, who's a male,

00:37:58.980 he's saying, and I would agree with his take,

00:38:01.760 this is one of those areas where you don't do that.

00:38:07.080 Because this is defending the entire population of Earth.

00:38:10.640 And no matter how many times I tell you,

00:38:15.020 I'm going to keep telling you,

00:38:17.020 you should never discriminate by sex or race or religion or ability,

00:38:24.740 you know, disability,

00:38:25.920 for a job.

00:38:29.020 You know, you don't want to do it in your personal life.

00:38:31.480 You don't want to deny somebody renting your building.

00:38:35.080 So for commerce and personal life and all of your individual in-person stuff,

00:38:41.300 don't discriminate.

00:38:43.840 It's immoral.

00:38:44.820 It doesn't help you.

00:38:45.680 It doesn't help the person you discriminate against.

00:38:47.740 It doesn't help society.

00:38:49.120 Everybody loses.

00:38:49.720 There's one exception.

00:38:53.400 Self-defense.

00:38:54.100 When it comes to self-defense,

00:38:56.860 you can discriminate as much as you want.

00:38:59.060 There's nothing immoral or even a little bit wrong with that.

00:39:03.620 For self-defense,

00:39:04.760 the only thing that matters is you live.

00:39:07.160 Or you protect your family or you protect your country.

00:39:10.600 Everything else is secondary.

00:39:12.520 So you do not count the vaginas to the penises when it's self-defense. 1.00

00:39:17.160 When you say to yourself,

00:39:18.740 you know,

00:39:19.360 should we concentrate our recruitment on men or women for special forces?

00:39:26.120 Probably concentrate on men 0.98

00:39:27.440 because you're going to get a better result on average.

00:39:30.540 Does that say there isn't a woman somewhere

00:39:33.300 who would be the best special forces person of all time?

00:39:37.200 No, that could be possible.

00:39:38.860 Nobody's saying that individuals are the same.

00:39:42.180 I'm saying that in general,

00:39:43.560 if your biggest mission is protecting the country and staying alive,

00:39:46.920 you don't fuck with this other stuff. 0.95

00:39:49.480 Ever.

00:39:50.500 There's a reason that our military doesn't take senior citizens 1.00

00:39:53.740 because they're not as good.

00:39:56.680 There's a reason that we do

00:39:58.180 allow people of all races in the military

00:40:00.600 because we've tested it.

00:40:02.660 And it works out.

00:40:03.940 If it didn't work,

00:40:04.920 we wouldn't do it.

00:40:06.340 You know,

00:40:06.620 even though it's racist,

00:40:07.780 we wouldn't do it.

00:40:08.580 If it didn't work.

00:40:09.980 So, I mean,

00:40:10.680 we've tested it.

00:40:11.680 It works.

00:40:14.340 I'm sure if we tested senior citizens,

00:40:16.400 we wouldn't get the same result.

00:40:18.480 And nobody has any problem with that.

00:40:20.620 There's no senior citizen group.

00:40:22.560 The AARP is not lobbying

00:40:25.880 to get more senior citizens in the military.

00:40:29.040 Nobody thinks it's a good idea.

00:40:31.680 So when Musk says,

00:40:33.400 you know,

00:40:34.280 some version of,

00:40:35.440 let's not make sure that

00:40:36.640 the vagina to penis ratio is the main thing. 1.00

00:40:39.740 How about the protecting humanity

00:40:41.640 is it.

00:40:43.480 And you do that the best you can.

00:40:45.440 And you don't worry about anything else.

00:40:47.920 Let's see if there's another story

00:40:49.580 in the news today

00:40:50.400 that reminds you of this one.

00:40:53.760 Turns out that the Dutch 1.00

00:40:56.020 over in the Netherlands there

00:40:58.020 have,

00:40:59.100 it looks like they've elected

00:41:00.000 what some call

00:41:02.000 right-wing Geert Wilders.

00:41:05.540 And he was being asked

00:41:07.100 about his views on mass immigration

00:41:08.920 and multiculturalism,

00:41:12.480 of which he's,

00:41:14.500 let's say,

00:41:15.240 has some provocative thoughts.

00:41:17.840 And he was asked by a journalist,

00:41:20.180 I was watching this on a video today,

00:41:22.420 and he says,

00:41:23.860 is it wise for a politician

00:41:25.200 to ostracize one group?

00:41:28.260 Because now the context is

00:41:29.780 that Geert Wilders was saying

00:41:33.000 that groups,

00:41:34.280 some of the immigrant groups

00:41:35.580 from some countries,

00:41:37.280 had a 20 times higher crime rate.

00:41:40.920 And that you couldn't ignore that.

00:41:43.340 So the journalist says,

00:41:44.420 is it wise for a politician

00:41:45.440 to ostracize one group?

00:41:47.600 And Wilders says,

00:41:49.240 I don't,

00:41:50.280 oh,

00:41:50.720 because,

00:41:51.100 and then the journalist says,

00:41:52.640 but couldn't the real problem

00:41:53.920 be economic?

00:41:56.300 That if you looked at people

00:41:57.440 who have,

00:41:58.040 you know,

00:41:58.300 low income,

00:41:59.400 there's a higher crime rate.

00:42:01.200 So is that right to say

00:42:02.720 that the Moroccans,

00:42:03.940 and they used the Moroccans

00:42:04.920 as an example,

00:42:05.940 says,

00:42:06.300 would it be right to say

00:42:07.220 that the Moroccans

00:42:08.080 are a problem?

00:42:08.600 Or is it really

00:42:09.960 more about economics?

00:42:12.200 That's a good question,

00:42:13.360 right?

00:42:14.200 That's exactly the right question.

00:42:16.660 Now I'm going to tell you

00:42:17.780 exactly the right answer.

00:42:19.580 Because it is the right question.

00:42:21.960 Here's the right answer

00:42:22.860 from Geert Wilders.

00:42:24.940 I don't care why

00:42:25.920 they're overrepresented.

00:42:29.720 And we're done.

00:42:31.720 Thank you.

00:42:33.240 Yeah,

00:42:33.680 because this is national defense

00:42:35.440 for the Dutch.

00:42:37.920 The Dutch have an existential threat 1.00

00:42:39.960 to their country.

00:42:41.460 And when you tell them,

00:42:42.560 are the Moroccans a problem 1.00

00:42:44.020 because of their economic situation?

00:42:46.360 Or are the Moroccans a problem 1.00

00:42:48.240 for some other reason

00:42:50.520 that would sound racist?

00:42:53.020 And Geert says,

00:42:53.840 I don't care.

00:42:56.180 That is exactly

00:42:57.580 the right answer.

00:43:00.840 Geert Wilders is a male.

00:43:03.140 He's a man.

00:43:03.740 So when you ask this man

00:43:06.040 who is presumably

00:43:08.920 one of many men

00:43:10.460 who evolved

00:43:11.100 for knowing how to protect you

00:43:13.780 and killing stuff 0.82

00:43:14.980 if he needs to,

00:43:16.500 when you ask him

00:43:17.500 how much of the wokeness

00:43:19.660 should we factor

00:43:20.480 into staying alive,

00:43:22.260 Geert Wilders gives you

00:43:23.920 the only right answer.

00:43:25.620 I don't care about wokeness. 1.00

00:43:27.880 It's not even in my conversation.

00:43:30.460 That's something

00:43:30.840 you could talk about.

00:43:31.640 But we're talking about

00:43:33.200 defending the country.

00:43:34.820 Sorry.

00:43:35.600 It's not part of the conversation.

00:43:37.920 I'm going to look at the numbers

00:43:39.720 and then I'm going to manage

00:43:41.380 to the numbers

00:43:42.060 that we're sure are right.

00:43:43.640 And, you know,

00:43:44.380 they're pretty good at crime numbers.

00:43:46.040 He says,

00:43:46.520 it's not my problem.

00:43:47.880 Don't care.

00:43:48.580 I'm not even going to get

00:43:49.320 into the conversation.

00:43:50.320 Why?

00:43:52.320 Thank you.

00:43:53.320 That is exactly

00:43:54.680 the right answer.

00:43:55.420 The better answer

00:43:56.760 is that we don't

00:43:59.140 consider those factors

00:44:00.820 when staying alive

00:44:03.100 is the question.

00:44:05.360 When staying a country

00:44:06.840 and not devolving into chaos

00:44:09.300 is the question.

00:44:11.060 You don't ask those questions.

00:44:13.700 But,

00:44:14.340 in order to sound

00:44:15.600 not like some kind of

00:44:17.380 Hitler, fascist, racist person,

00:44:19.780 you should make sure

00:44:20.820 that you say what I say.

00:44:22.040 It is immoral

00:44:24.840 and inefficient

00:44:26.340 and bad for everybody

00:44:27.600 if you discriminate

00:44:29.340 on any of those factors

00:44:30.820 for any individual

00:44:32.940 in person.

00:44:34.500 But if you're doing it

00:44:35.780 on a statistical level

00:44:37.540 and you're talking about

00:44:39.240 people who are not yet citizens

00:44:40.820 versus your citizens

00:44:42.360 you're trying to protect,

00:44:44.040 discriminate all you want.

00:44:46.000 There's no barrier

00:44:47.200 to discrimination

00:44:48.080 for your self-protection.

00:44:50.120 And, more importantly,

00:44:51.400 nobody gets to second-guess you.

00:44:54.480 Suppose we sat over here

00:44:55.880 and said,

00:44:56.200 you know what?

00:44:57.040 I think you Dutch

00:44:57.960 are overreacting.

00:44:59.840 Yeah, maybe there's

00:45:00.540 like a little problem

00:45:01.640 extra of the immigrants

00:45:02.700 but really,

00:45:03.640 but really,

00:45:04.240 we Americans think

00:45:05.080 you're overreacting

00:45:05.900 and you shouldn't do that.

00:45:07.480 Do you know what

00:45:07.920 Geert Wilder

00:45:08.900 should say to us?

00:45:10.520 I don't care.

00:45:12.440 I don't care

00:45:13.420 what your opinion is.

00:45:15.980 That's the right opinion.

00:45:16.940 The right opinion

00:45:18.060 is nobody second-guesses

00:45:20.160 self-defense.

00:45:22.860 Self-defense

00:45:23.500 is only,

00:45:24.900 only the business

00:45:26.040 of the individual

00:45:26.860 or in this case

00:45:28.060 the country.

00:45:29.240 It is nobody else's business.

00:45:31.460 Now this is the same attitude

00:45:32.540 that I take

00:45:33.220 to the Gaza situation.

00:45:36.900 In Gaza,

00:45:38.120 you can say to yourself,

00:45:39.720 hey,

00:45:40.380 in my opinion,

00:45:41.520 sitting safely

00:45:42.240 over here in America,

00:45:43.200 I think Israel 0.98

00:45:44.820 should not go so hard

00:45:45.960 on Gaza.

00:45:47.580 Do you know what

00:45:48.100 Israel should say 0.98

00:45:49.220 to that opinion?

00:45:51.360 I don't care.

00:45:53.440 They should have

00:45:54.260 no care

00:45:55.720 what our opinion is

00:45:57.820 of how they protect

00:45:58.680 themselves.

00:45:59.440 Now they of course

00:46:00.180 have to manage

00:46:00.820 public opinion.

00:46:02.420 So managing public opinion

00:46:03.800 does matter,

00:46:04.880 right?

00:46:05.200 That's got a cost

00:46:05.960 and a benefit to it.

00:46:07.440 So they have to do that.

00:46:09.700 But they should not

00:46:11.140 under any condition

00:46:13.220 do it because

00:46:14.680 we think it's a good idea.

00:46:17.640 We don't get a vote.

00:46:19.640 Nobody gets a vote

00:46:20.580 on their self-defense.

00:46:22.500 And that's why I say,

00:46:23.940 don't ask me

00:46:24.420 if it's right or wrong.

00:46:26.120 It's going to happen.

00:46:27.940 That's it.

00:46:29.700 Yeah.

00:46:29.980 You can talk about

00:46:30.880 what to do about it

00:46:31.920 after the fact,

00:46:33.120 but Israel's going to do 0.93

00:46:34.300 what they're going to do

00:46:35.020 and nothing's going to stop it.

00:46:39.840 All right.

00:46:40.460 And of course,

00:46:42.160 there's a trend

00:46:43.180 forming now.

00:46:44.680 Some people are calling

00:46:45.600 this,

00:46:46.280 well,

00:46:46.880 there's the Dutch Trump

00:46:49.040 because it largely

00:46:51.260 is immigration,

00:46:52.060 I guess.

00:46:52.900 And they're also calling

00:46:54.240 Miele,

00:46:55.080 the new head of Argentina,

00:46:56.960 the Argentinist Trump.

00:46:59.580 So now the American Trump

00:47:01.500 has a dominant position

00:47:03.920 in the polls.

00:47:05.500 And we have

00:47:06.320 two key countries

00:47:08.380 that just went

00:47:09.840 full Trump.

00:47:14.700 I don't know.

00:47:16.360 Does it feel like

00:47:17.220 2016 all over again?

00:47:19.900 Do you remember

00:47:20.320 when Brexit passed

00:47:21.500 and people said,

00:47:22.660 oh,

00:47:23.160 this is telling us

00:47:24.180 Trump's going to get elected

00:47:25.620 and then it kind of did?

00:47:27.860 It feels like that.

00:47:29.020 Yeah,

00:47:29.140 it feels like the

00:47:29.940 pendulum has swung back.

00:47:32.320 All right.

00:47:37.520 Claire McCaskill.

00:47:40.020 What was she? 0.85

00:47:40.960 Was she a House

00:47:41.880 representative at one point?

00:47:43.720 Is she still,

00:47:44.400 she's not still in office,

00:47:45.600 is she?

00:47:46.700 Who's Claire McCaskill? 1.00

00:47:48.780 She was on MSNBC,

00:47:50.340 senator from Missouri.

00:47:51.760 Still a senator?

00:47:53.380 Is she still

00:47:54.000 or did she retire? 0.59

00:47:55.700 Ex-Missouri senator,

00:47:57.020 but now on MSNBC,

00:47:58.280 I guess.

00:47:59.320 Or at least she was

00:47:59.920 appearing there.

00:48:00.420 I don't know

00:48:00.820 if she's employed there.

00:48:02.260 But anyway,

00:48:02.680 she was saying

00:48:03.720 that Trump

00:48:05.700 is more dangerous

00:48:06.460 than Hitler. 0.74

00:48:10.460 All right.

00:48:11.700 I'm going to suggest

00:48:12.720 a way to handle this.

00:48:15.820 But first,

00:48:16.440 I'm going to explain

00:48:17.240 exactly what she said

00:48:18.340 so you can really feel it.

00:48:20.300 First of all,

00:48:20.920 you know that Trump

00:48:21.600 referred to,

00:48:22.840 I don't know

00:48:23.640 who he was talking about,

00:48:24.420 but he referred to vermin.

00:48:26.740 Remind me,

00:48:27.340 who was Trump

00:48:27.800 talking about

00:48:28.380 when he said vermin?

00:48:30.420 He was referring to,

00:48:35.180 it doesn't matter,

00:48:37.380 does it?

00:48:37.980 He wasn't referring

00:48:38.740 to American citizens,

00:48:39.780 was he?

00:48:44.660 MS13?

00:48:46.200 Oh, he was talking

00:48:46.980 about MS13 in vermin?

00:48:49.340 He's probably

00:48:49.960 used that before.

00:48:51.220 Here,

00:48:51.680 I'd like to test this out.

00:48:53.420 This didn't work

00:48:54.220 when I tested it

00:48:54.940 on Locals

00:48:55.480 before I went live

00:48:56.380 on YouTube.

00:48:57.400 But let me test it

00:48:58.120 with the YouTube people.

00:48:58.940 I grew up

00:49:00.400 in upstate New York

00:49:01.500 and when I went

00:49:02.620 to college,

00:49:03.280 there were a lot

00:49:03.580 of people

00:49:03.860 from the New Jersey,

00:49:05.000 New York area

00:49:05.740 in college.

00:49:07.680 So I was friends

00:49:08.620 with a lot of people

00:49:09.860 who were born

00:49:10.860 and raised in that area.

00:49:12.520 And in those days,

00:49:14.040 the word vermin

00:49:14.820 was somewhat common

00:49:17.440 from people

00:49:18.300 born in that area.

00:49:19.220 In other words,

00:49:19.640 it was an ordinary

00:49:21.240 insult they would use

00:49:22.240 to any variety

00:49:23.100 of people.

00:49:24.000 And it wasn't racist,

00:49:25.160 it was just people

00:49:26.300 you didn't like.

00:49:26.860 So it had nothing

00:49:27.960 to do with any

00:49:28.580 racial overtones,

00:49:29.620 it was just like

00:49:30.120 a general

00:49:30.620 you're a rat

00:49:31.840 kind of an insult.

00:49:34.300 Now,

00:49:35.020 am I right?

00:49:36.340 Am I right

00:49:37.120 that it's a regional

00:49:38.080 thing that Trump

00:49:39.160 picked up?

00:49:40.640 Is it regional

00:49:41.600 to call people

00:49:42.240 a vermin?

00:49:42.800 New Jersey,

00:49:43.540 New York?

00:49:45.940 I'm seeing one yes.

00:49:48.420 I'm seeing some

00:49:48.980 more yeses.

00:49:50.460 Yes,

00:49:50.840 I'm from upstate

00:49:51.580 New York.

00:49:54.640 Yes,

00:49:55.700 yes,

00:49:56.200 yes,

00:49:58.100 okay.

00:49:59.340 So I think

00:50:00.160 I've demonstrated

00:50:00.860 that it's more

00:50:02.380 than me

00:50:02.860 that believe

00:50:03.920 it's a regional

00:50:04.600 thing.

00:50:05.660 Now,

00:50:06.660 let me ask you

00:50:07.220 this.

00:50:08.100 Has anybody

00:50:09.100 in your news

00:50:10.420 universe

00:50:11.380 told you

00:50:12.780 that it's

00:50:13.200 a regional

00:50:13.940 phrase?

00:50:16.820 Has anybody

00:50:17.540 mentioned that?

00:50:18.940 And that Trump

00:50:19.600 routinely uses

00:50:20.940 you know,

00:50:22.300 phrasings from

00:50:23.040 the region

00:50:23.680 that he's most

00:50:24.360 influenced by

00:50:24.980 where he grew up?

00:50:26.800 A colloquialism,

00:50:27.840 yeah.

00:50:28.520 But if you

00:50:29.560 didn't know that,

00:50:30.840 and I don't think

00:50:31.500 anybody not from

00:50:32.460 that region would

00:50:33.180 even be aware

00:50:33.920 that it's a common

00:50:35.080 word there,

00:50:36.040 if you didn't know

00:50:36.920 that,

00:50:37.220 it's easy to sell

00:50:38.020 that as Hitler 0.89

00:50:38.820 because that's the

00:50:40.340 only association

00:50:41.520 you have in your

00:50:41.980 mind.

00:50:42.220 Oh,

00:50:43.040 Hitler called

00:50:43.640 people vermin.

00:50:44.260 So anyway,

00:50:46.820 here's McCaskill.

00:50:48.380 I'm going to read

00:50:49.100 exactly what she

00:50:49.980 says so you can

00:50:50.640 see the level of

00:50:51.360 craziness here.

00:50:52.760 Quote,

00:50:53.120 a lot of people

00:50:53.680 have tried to draw

00:50:54.380 similarities between

00:50:55.700 Mussolini and

00:50:56.500 Hitler and the 0.90

00:50:57.420 use of the

00:50:57.900 terminology like

00:50:58.800 vermin and the

00:51:00.760 drive that those

00:51:01.600 men had towards

00:51:02.380 autocracy and

00:51:03.240 dictatorship.

00:51:04.140 The difference,

00:51:05.480 though,

00:51:05.960 I think,

00:51:06.360 makes Donald

00:51:07.360 Trump even more

00:51:08.760 dangerous than

00:51:11.340 Hitler and 0.80

00:51:11.940 Mussolini.

00:51:13.980 Now,

00:51:14.500 she's saying

00:51:14.880 this with a

00:51:15.400 straight face,

00:51:17.340 that he's more

00:51:18.000 dangerous than

00:51:18.640 Hitler and now 0.86

00:51:19.880 she's going to

00:51:20.360 back it up with

00:51:21.000 her argument.

00:51:22.180 Okay,

00:51:22.460 here's the

00:51:22.840 argument.

00:51:25.340 And that is,

00:51:27.200 all right,

00:51:28.280 he goes,

00:51:29.140 quote,

00:51:29.680 he is not

00:51:30.460 trying to expand

00:51:31.320 the boundaries of

00:51:32.000 the United States

00:51:32.660 of America.

00:51:33.920 So unlike

00:51:34.620 Hitler and 0.80

00:51:35.160 Mussolini,

00:51:35.700 he's not trying

00:51:36.280 to expand our

00:51:37.000 boundaries.

00:51:37.960 And remember,

00:51:38.780 this is a

00:51:39.420 criticism of him.

00:51:41.940 So she starts

00:51:42.700 by saying he's

00:51:43.280 not trying to

00:51:43.880 expand the

00:51:44.380 boundaries.

00:51:45.340 Then she says,

00:51:46.540 he's not trying to

00:51:47.700 overcome a

00:51:48.200 neighboring country

00:51:48.880 like Putin is

00:51:49.780 in Ukraine.

00:51:52.120 Wait,

00:51:52.720 are you suggesting

00:51:53.440 that Putin is

00:51:54.660 better than

00:51:55.440 Trump because

00:51:57.080 Putin has an

00:51:57.920 objective of

00:51:58.640 conquering Ukraine 1.00

00:51:59.760 where Trump does

00:52:01.540 not try to

00:52:02.160 conquer any

00:52:02.660 other countries?

00:52:04.580 So just hold

00:52:06.920 in your head the

00:52:07.560 hot mess that

00:52:08.380 this is.

00:52:08.940 She goes on

00:52:10.780 talking about

00:52:12.020 Trump.

00:52:12.700 He is not

00:52:13.120 going to some

00:52:13.960 grandiose scheme

00:52:14.980 of international

00:52:15.740 dominance,

00:52:16.840 but I feel like

00:52:18.120 that's a good

00:52:18.580 thing.

00:52:19.400 And then she

00:52:19.700 goes,

00:52:20.360 all he wants

00:52:20.980 is to look

00:52:21.640 in the mirror

00:52:22.140 and see a

00:52:23.080 guy who is

00:52:23.520 president.

00:52:26.940 Okay.

00:52:28.960 So this is

00:52:29.940 mind reading,

00:52:30.560 right?

00:52:31.560 She's gone

00:52:32.220 into complete

00:52:32.820 mind reading.

00:52:34.100 All he wants

00:52:34.900 to do is see

00:52:35.600 himself as

00:52:36.700 president.

00:52:37.420 All he cares

00:52:38.220 about is

00:52:39.400 selfish self

00:52:40.420 promotion.

00:52:41.560 That's the

00:52:42.240 only philosophy

00:52:42.940 he has,

00:52:44.020 which makes

00:52:44.860 it even more

00:52:45.500 dangerous.

00:52:47.620 What?

00:52:49.260 Are you

00:52:50.060 telling me

00:52:50.500 that somebody

00:52:51.060 who likes

00:52:51.800 self promotion

00:52:53.060 and that's

00:52:54.580 their biggest

00:52:55.060 flaw is

00:52:56.720 more dangerous

00:52:57.680 than Hitler? 0.78

00:53:00.800 She's actually

00:53:01.840 saying that

00:53:02.580 directly and

00:53:04.400 clearly.

00:53:05.940 And then she

00:53:06.260 goes on.

00:53:06.960 Well,

00:53:07.160 there's a

00:53:07.400 reason because

00:53:08.660 Trump,

00:53:10.160 he has

00:53:10.820 actually said

00:53:11.440 out loud that

00:53:12.540 he would be

00:53:13.020 okay to

00:53:13.580 terminate the

00:53:14.260 Constitution to

00:53:15.220 keep him in

00:53:15.740 power.

00:53:17.000 Really?

00:53:19.160 Let's do a

00:53:19.880 fact check on

00:53:20.480 that.

00:53:21.620 Because I

00:53:22.360 watch the

00:53:22.700 news a lot.

00:53:23.900 I do not

00:53:24.400 remember the

00:53:24.940 time that

00:53:25.540 Trump said

00:53:25.980 we should

00:53:26.320 terminate the

00:53:26.980 Constitution.

00:53:28.180 Does anybody

00:53:28.840 remember that?

00:53:30.400 Is there

00:53:30.840 anybody who

00:53:31.640 saw that in

00:53:32.600 any kind of

00:53:33.280 news?

00:53:33.580 I'm going to

00:53:36.600 have to give

00:53:37.000 you the

00:53:37.280 tapper tilt to

00:53:38.060 that one.

00:53:39.020 Are you

00:53:39.240 ready?

00:53:40.360 The tapper head

00:53:41.440 tilt is when

00:53:42.580 you're listening

00:53:43.020 to somebody

00:53:43.560 that you're

00:53:43.980 trying to

00:53:44.400 discredit

00:53:44.920 without actually

00:53:45.780 saying any

00:53:46.220 words.

00:53:47.320 So,

00:53:48.340 you're saying

00:53:49.080 that he said

00:53:50.620 out loud he'd

00:53:51.160 like to

00:53:51.420 terminate the

00:53:51.980 Constitution to

00:53:52.900 keep him in

00:53:53.340 power?

00:53:53.620 There.

00:53:58.060 The tapper tilt.

00:53:58.740 That's all

00:54:00.760 needs to be

00:54:01.460 said.

00:54:03.220 Then she

00:54:03.800 goes on.

00:54:04.540 He said

00:54:05.080 this.

00:54:05.780 He actually

00:54:06.320 said those

00:54:06.940 words.

00:54:08.800 No, he

00:54:09.200 didn't.

00:54:11.200 Pretty sure

00:54:11.900 he didn't.

00:54:13.060 If he said

00:54:13.680 that, you

00:54:14.060 don't think

00:54:14.440 we would

00:54:14.760 see that

00:54:15.180 clip playing

00:54:16.060 on repeat

00:54:17.920 all day

00:54:18.680 long?

00:54:19.980 How would

00:54:20.600 anybody have

00:54:21.140 missed that?

00:54:23.100 The only way

00:54:23.820 you could miss

00:54:24.220 it is if it

00:54:24.700 didn't happen.

00:54:26.260 There's no

00:54:26.680 other way you

00:54:27.120 could miss

00:54:27.440 it.

00:54:28.740 And the

00:54:30.420 irony is

00:54:31.340 all these

00:54:31.780 supposedly

00:54:32.300 conservative

00:54:32.900 folks that

00:54:33.940 have populated

00:54:34.560 the Republican

00:54:35.180 Party all

00:54:36.260 stood around

00:54:36.920 with their

00:54:37.480 thumb in

00:54:38.580 their mouth 0.77

00:54:39.060 going,

00:54:39.860 well, yeah,

00:54:40.320 I guess so.

00:54:42.080 And then she

00:54:42.520 says it's so

00:54:43.080 bizarre.

00:54:47.740 All right.

00:54:48.860 I'm going to

00:54:49.500 add this to

00:54:50.020 my list of

00:54:51.100 why women 1.00

00:54:51.720 should not

00:54:52.200 be in

00:54:52.520 charge of

00:54:52.980 national

00:54:53.380 defense.

00:54:57.300 I believe

00:54:58.180 that she's

00:54:58.700 talking

00:55:00.140 nicely

00:55:00.740 above the

00:55:02.500 country's

00:55:03.060 safety and

00:55:03.940 security.

00:55:06.420 This is

00:55:07.140 batshit

00:55:08.080 crazy.

00:55:10.660 Now, how

00:55:11.980 should you

00:55:12.540 respond to

00:55:13.220 this?

00:55:13.740 Because

00:55:13.940 obviously there's

00:55:14.660 going to be a

00:55:15.000 lot more of

00:55:15.440 it, right?

00:55:16.200 There'll be a

00:55:16.640 lot more.

00:55:18.080 The return of

00:55:18.980 fascism.

00:55:20.600 Because since

00:55:21.940 we know that

00:55:22.580 Joe Biden or

00:55:23.600 whoever runs

00:55:24.320 in this place,

00:55:25.300 they're not

00:55:25.720 going to be

00:55:26.020 able to

00:55:26.340 compete on

00:55:26.840 policy except

00:55:28.080 abortion.

00:55:29.280 And that's

00:55:29.740 going down to

00:55:30.300 the state

00:55:30.720 level for

00:55:31.260 decisions.

00:55:32.100 So even that

00:55:32.640 one's a little

00:55:33.100 bit off the

00:55:33.580 table because

00:55:34.140 it's become

00:55:34.600 more of a

00:55:34.980 state thing.

00:55:36.080 So if you

00:55:37.400 can't compete

00:55:38.220 on policies,

00:55:39.540 you have to

00:55:40.180 go to, you

00:55:41.800 know, insulting

00:55:42.480 your competition,

00:55:43.420 make it look

00:55:43.800 bad.

00:55:45.020 So they're

00:55:45.720 going to call

00:55:46.020 you fascist, 0.57

00:55:46.780 they're going

00:55:47.000 to call him

00:55:47.660 Hitler if you 0.77

00:55:49.440 support him.

00:55:50.480 So what do

00:55:51.060 you do about

00:55:51.500 it?

00:55:52.620 I absolutely

00:55:53.620 think there's

00:55:54.320 one and only

00:55:54.880 way to deal

00:55:55.740 with it

00:55:56.020 successfully.

00:55:57.560 You have to

00:55:58.480 mock it and

00:56:00.060 joke with it and

00:56:01.420 embrace it and

00:56:02.140 amplify it.

00:56:03.360 You have to

00:56:03.840 make it sarcastic,

00:56:05.700 you have to

00:56:06.340 laugh at them

00:56:06.960 every time they

00:56:07.520 do it, and

00:56:08.060 you never,

00:56:08.720 never can take

00:56:09.300 them seriously.

00:56:10.680 You have to

00:56:11.400 treat them like

00:56:13.160 children who

00:56:14.380 are afraid of

00:56:14.900 the dark.

00:56:16.240 They're afraid of

00:56:16.980 the fascists

00:56:17.560 under the bed.

00:56:18.200 And so

00:56:20.040 instead of

00:56:21.780 responding,

00:56:23.100 imagine you're

00:56:25.140 going to be a

00:56:25.760 politician and

00:56:26.460 somebody says,

00:56:27.640 so-and-so,

00:56:28.660 McCaskill, said

00:56:30.060 Trump is worse

00:56:31.000 than Hitler. 0.74

00:56:32.500 Do you say

00:56:33.200 something like,

00:56:34.320 well, I don't

00:56:34.780 know, Democrat

00:56:35.840 policies are

00:56:36.580 pretty bad too?

00:56:37.940 Or do you say,

00:56:39.060 no, he's not?

00:56:40.620 Those don't

00:56:41.120 work.

00:56:42.120 Because the

00:56:42.620 Hitler thing is 0.88

00:56:43.260 a fear of

00:56:44.000 persuasion.

00:56:46.620 Suppose you

00:56:47.320 had a little

00:56:47.680 kid,

00:56:48.200 who was afraid

00:56:49.520 of a monster

00:56:50.180 under the bed.

00:56:51.600 How do you

00:56:51.960 play it?

00:56:53.200 I'll give you

00:56:53.600 two different

00:56:53.980 ways.

00:56:54.480 Your little

00:56:54.920 kid says,

00:56:55.400 there's a

00:56:55.640 monster under

00:56:56.100 the bed,

00:56:56.440 I can't turn

00:56:56.900 off the lights

00:56:57.340 and go to

00:56:57.640 sleep.

00:56:58.680 Do you say,

00:57:00.560 there's no

00:57:01.920 monster under

00:57:02.520 the bed?

00:57:04.940 Don't worry

00:57:05.480 about it,

00:57:05.800 go to sleep.

00:57:07.200 Well, you

00:57:07.540 could, you

00:57:08.500 could.

00:57:09.280 Here's a

00:57:09.740 better way.

00:57:10.780 Now, all

00:57:11.760 kids go

00:57:12.780 through that.

00:57:13.560 I remember

00:57:14.200 when I thought

00:57:14.700 there was a

00:57:15.160 monster under

00:57:15.840 the bed.

00:57:16.880 When I was

00:57:17.480 your age,

00:57:17.820 I used to

00:57:18.180 look under

00:57:18.460 the bed

00:57:18.720 every day.

00:57:19.380 No,

00:57:19.800 there's no

00:57:21.020 monsters.

00:57:22.340 That's funny

00:57:23.100 because I

00:57:25.340 remember exactly

00:57:26.140 when I was

00:57:26.600 your age,

00:57:27.460 I had the

00:57:27.920 same conversation

00:57:28.660 with my

00:57:29.020 parents.

00:57:29.820 We were

00:57:30.080 sure there

00:57:30.440 were monsters,

00:57:31.060 but you know

00:57:31.320 what?

00:57:31.860 Everybody looks

00:57:32.540 under the bed

00:57:33.100 and nobody

00:57:33.500 ever finds a

00:57:34.080 monster.

00:57:35.120 Nobody's found

00:57:35.660 one yet.

00:57:36.960 Maybe you'll

00:57:37.520 find one that

00:57:37.960 likes you.

00:57:39.300 You just

00:57:39.660 treat it like

00:57:40.440 it's not

00:57:40.780 serious.

00:57:41.160 So all

00:57:43.240 of this

00:57:43.560 fascism

00:57:44.460 stuff,

00:57:45.360 if somebody

00:57:45.920 accuses you

00:57:47.320 of being a

00:57:47.780 fascist or

00:57:48.400 says that

00:57:48.840 Trump is,

00:57:50.080 you should

00:57:50.500 say,

00:57:51.560 what would

00:57:51.940 be an

00:57:52.200 example of

00:57:52.740 this fascism?

00:57:53.420 Now, what

00:57:55.300 they'd probably

00:57:55.760 say is that

00:57:56.480 he wants to

00:57:56.920 be a dictator.

00:57:58.740 And then you

00:57:59.200 say,

00:58:00.080 well, that's

00:58:00.840 not really

00:58:03.020 fascism,

00:58:03.640 is it?

00:58:04.420 Because I

00:58:04.800 thought fascism

00:58:05.520 was about the

00:58:07.020 government working

00:58:07.800 with the

00:58:08.280 companies to

00:58:10.380 basically have

00:58:10.980 control of

00:58:11.480 what the

00:58:11.720 companies do.

00:58:12.860 Sort of like

00:58:13.720 the Democrats

00:58:15.260 want to do

00:58:15.820 with free

00:58:16.860 speech.

00:58:18.280 So you

00:58:18.620 have actual

00:58:19.160 examples in

00:58:21.280 which the

00:58:21.620 Democrats are

00:58:22.400 acting in a

00:58:23.020 fascist nature

00:58:24.660 that the

00:58:25.740 other social

00:58:26.560 media companies

00:58:27.280 except for

00:58:27.800 X are bowing 1.00

00:58:29.420 to the

00:58:29.720 government's

00:58:30.400 will.

00:58:31.540 That's

00:58:31.900 actually

00:58:32.220 literally

00:58:32.640 fascism.

00:58:33.880 That fits

00:58:34.760 the definition

00:58:35.440 without any

00:58:36.420 hyperbole at

00:58:37.100 all.

00:58:38.660 But the

00:58:39.200 part about

00:58:39.760 staying in

00:58:40.540 office,

00:58:40.960 they're going

00:58:41.200 to use the

00:58:41.660 insurrection

00:58:42.140 thing.

00:58:42.920 You have to

00:58:43.580 mock the

00:58:44.040 insurrection.

00:58:45.840 The way to

00:58:46.640 deal with it

00:58:47.120 is, I

00:58:48.460 want you to

00:58:48.940 tell me to

00:58:49.420 my face

00:58:50.060 that you

00:58:50.880 believe

00:58:51.280 Republicans

00:58:51.940 try to

00:58:52.620 take over

00:58:53.020 the country

00:58:53.460 without

00:58:53.780 bringing

00:58:54.200 weapons.

00:58:55.560 Just say

00:58:55.980 that directly.

00:58:57.400 Well, I'm

00:58:58.120 the one

00:58:58.360 asking the

00:58:58.880 questions here.

00:58:59.480 I know

00:58:59.720 you are,

00:59:00.760 but I want

00:59:01.180 to understand

00:59:01.680 the context

00:59:02.440 of the

00:59:02.680 question.

00:59:03.740 Do you

00:59:04.040 believe that

00:59:04.640 in some

00:59:05.300 reasonable

00:59:05.840 world,

00:59:06.400 the

00:59:07.500 Republicans

00:59:07.980 try to

00:59:08.520 take over

00:59:08.880 the country

00:59:09.280 without

00:59:09.580 weapons?

00:59:11.180 Well, well,

00:59:11.740 no, I'm

00:59:12.600 the one

00:59:12.840 asking the

00:59:13.300 questions.

00:59:14.000 You see

00:59:14.260 where this

00:59:14.600 would go,

00:59:14.980 right?

00:59:15.940 You should

00:59:16.460 make them

00:59:16.900 look like

00:59:17.320 fucking

00:59:17.780 idiots for

00:59:19.260 asking that

00:59:19.840 question.

00:59:21.720 No, I'm

00:59:22.440 sorry.

00:59:23.200 If Republicans

00:59:23.980 ever decide to

00:59:24.860 take over a

00:59:25.440 country, look

00:59:26.860 for the

00:59:27.140 weapons.

00:59:28.700 And then

00:59:29.040 they're going

00:59:29.300 to be,

00:59:29.580 well, but

00:59:30.060 somebody found

00:59:31.120 one gun

00:59:31.800 that was

00:59:32.540 behind the

00:59:32.980 garbage can

00:59:33.660 a block

00:59:34.380 away.

00:59:35.720 And you

00:59:35.980 say, really?

00:59:37.680 Is that how

00:59:38.520 Republicans take

00:59:39.440 over the

00:59:39.760 country?

00:59:40.360 They make

00:59:40.800 sure they

00:59:41.160 got that

00:59:41.520 one gun

00:59:42.100 that's hidden

00:59:42.560 a block

00:59:42.980 away?

00:59:44.340 Was that

00:59:44.940 their battle

00:59:46.300 plan?

00:59:47.160 That one

00:59:47.620 gun that

00:59:48.000 was a block

00:59:48.440 away?

00:59:49.760 Just mock

00:59:50.540 the shit

00:59:50.900 out of it.

00:59:52.360 Just mock

00:59:53.000 it.

00:59:54.060 In fact,

00:59:55.260 you should

00:59:55.640 make them

00:59:56.120 talk about

00:59:56.720 it as long

00:59:57.240 as possible.

00:59:58.520 Because if

00:59:58.980 you mock

00:59:59.480 it right,

01:00:00.020 the longer

01:00:01.120 they talk

01:00:01.620 about it,

01:00:02.000 the worse

01:00:02.320 it is for

01:00:02.740 them.

01:00:03.620 But if

01:00:03.980 you don't

01:00:04.320 mock it,

01:00:05.140 the longer

01:00:05.600 they talk

01:00:06.080 about it,

01:00:06.480 the worse

01:00:06.800 it is for

01:00:07.200 you.

01:00:07.860 Does that

01:00:08.060 make sense?

01:00:09.940 If you

01:00:10.540 mock it,

01:00:11.180 you take

01:00:11.580 the high

01:00:11.940 ground,

01:00:13.040 and the

01:00:13.560 more they

01:00:14.020 see of

01:00:14.360 it, the

01:00:14.620 worse it

01:00:15.000 is for

01:00:15.260 them.

01:00:16.480 But as

01:00:17.020 long as

01:00:17.440 you just

01:00:17.920 say, no,

01:00:18.620 it's not

01:00:18.980 true, we

01:00:20.200 have good

01:00:20.600 policies, or

01:00:21.640 your side

01:00:22.460 does it

01:00:22.860 too, then

01:00:24.500 all that

01:00:24.960 people hear

01:00:25.840 is how

01:00:26.200 often you

01:00:26.640 were accused

01:00:27.020 of it.

01:00:28.260 They don't

01:00:28.600 really hear

01:00:28.960 the defense

01:00:29.480 part.

01:00:30.020 You have

01:00:30.460 to change

01:00:30.880 the frame.

01:00:32.140 The frame

01:00:32.640 should not

01:00:33.120 be, this

01:00:33.640 is a good

01:00:34.080 question, and

01:00:34.820 I'm answering

01:00:35.300 it.

01:00:36.200 No, don't

01:00:37.660 enter that

01:00:38.040 frame.

01:00:39.080 Take Vivek's

01:00:40.020 approach.

01:00:43.200 Vivek actually

01:00:43.940 says, okay,

01:00:44.540 what's happening

01:00:45.020 here is you're

01:00:45.860 being a fucking 0.82

01:00:46.440 idiot. 0.79

01:00:46.960 He doesn't

01:00:47.280 say that.

01:00:48.040 But what's

01:00:48.460 happening here

01:00:49.000 is you're

01:00:49.360 being an

01:00:49.700 illegitimate

01:00:50.300 member of

01:00:52.280 the press.

01:00:53.020 You're asking

01:00:53.480 me a ridiculous

01:00:54.420 question.

01:00:55.880 Nobody thinks

01:00:56.880 the Republicans

01:00:57.400 take over

01:00:57.960 countries without

01:00:59.120 bringing guns.

01:01:01.460 You're being

01:01:02.280 ridiculous right

01:01:03.100 now.

01:01:03.860 You realize how

01:01:04.420 silly you are. 0.96

01:01:05.660 You realize

01:01:06.020 you're being

01:01:07.220 crazy right on

01:01:08.120 camera.

01:01:09.240 Will you feel

01:01:09.880 good when this

01:01:10.460 plays back?

01:01:11.800 Can you defend

01:01:12.660 that question to

01:01:13.460 your friends?

01:01:15.080 That's the way

01:01:15.580 I'd go.

01:01:16.460 I'd go right

01:01:17.260 after the real

01:01:17.860 problem, which

01:01:18.540 is these are not

01:01:19.940 real questions.

01:01:21.080 These are not

01:01:21.460 real accusations.

01:01:22.200 This is just

01:01:23.420 pure bullshit.

01:01:26.540 And I don't

01:01:27.280 think Trump has

01:01:27.860 been good at

01:01:28.400 that.

01:01:29.280 I think he

01:01:29.900 has sort of

01:01:31.380 ignored it or

01:01:32.420 tried to stay

01:01:33.440 tough talking.

01:01:35.360 Oh, here's

01:01:36.820 another idea.

01:01:38.340 This will never

01:01:39.240 happen, but I

01:01:40.800 suggest it in

01:01:43.600 the spirit of

01:01:45.580 showing you

01:01:47.060 persuasion.

01:01:49.220 Imagine if

01:01:50.180 between now and

01:01:51.700 election day,

01:01:53.480 Trump decides to

01:01:54.680 go to lunch

01:01:55.320 once a week

01:01:56.020 with a green

01:01:57.720 haired Democrat,

01:01:59.520 progressive,

01:02:00.660 you know, a

01:02:01.000 different one.

01:02:02.360 And like the,

01:02:03.620 you know, the

01:02:04.020 most anti-Trump

01:02:05.640 person you can

01:02:06.280 imagine.

01:02:07.600 And all they're

01:02:08.360 going to do is

01:02:08.800 go to lunch and

01:02:09.820 he's just going

01:02:10.300 to listen to

01:02:10.700 them and have

01:02:12.600 a conversation.

01:02:13.940 Nobody's trying

01:02:14.540 to change

01:02:14.980 anybody's minds.

01:02:16.580 He's just going

01:02:17.100 to go to lunch.

01:02:18.300 Now here's the

01:02:19.140 thing that I know

01:02:20.060 that not all

01:02:21.620 of you know.

01:02:24.200 Trump loves a

01:02:25.340 pirate ship.

01:02:27.540 Trump loves a

01:02:29.000 pirate ship.

01:02:30.560 If you're smart,

01:02:32.900 he's going to find

01:02:33.540 a way to get

01:02:33.940 along with you.

01:02:35.520 And in person,

01:02:37.180 all of his scary

01:02:38.760 demeanor stuff that

01:02:39.760 he puts on when

01:02:40.700 he's talking tough,

01:02:42.080 you won't see any

01:02:43.020 of it.

01:02:43.260 If you meet him

01:02:45.660 in person,

01:02:46.980 he is the

01:02:47.560 warmest,

01:02:49.400 most sort of

01:02:50.840 generous,

01:02:52.340 accommodating,

01:02:54.100 charismatic

01:02:54.500 character you're

01:02:55.480 ever going to

01:02:55.800 run into.

01:02:56.820 Right?

01:02:57.280 You know, he

01:02:57.660 puts on kind of

01:02:58.480 an act when he's

01:02:59.360 talking.

01:03:00.700 But the real him

01:03:01.760 when he's just

01:03:02.320 relaxed and hanging

01:03:03.200 out, because I

01:03:03.840 had the experience

01:03:04.760 of, you know,

01:03:05.680 chatting with him

01:03:06.180 for a while,

01:03:07.460 his actual in-person

01:03:09.140 personality is

01:03:10.880 absolutely,

01:03:12.080 what did I

01:03:14.520 say?

01:03:17.480 It's

01:03:17.920 undeniable.

01:03:21.300 It's so strong

01:03:22.540 that you would

01:03:23.820 have a tough time

01:03:24.820 leaving the lunch

01:03:25.540 hating him.

01:03:26.860 You would leave

01:03:27.720 thinking,

01:03:28.320 damn it, I wish

01:03:28.880 he agreed with me

01:03:29.720 more.

01:03:30.660 But you wouldn't

01:03:31.460 hate him when he

01:03:32.040 left.

01:03:33.380 You would leave

01:03:34.480 thinking, you know,

01:03:35.800 okay, he's got a

01:03:36.540 point of view.

01:03:39.020 Yeah, disarming.

01:03:40.540 Disarming.

01:03:41.140 That's the right

01:03:41.680 word.

01:03:41.860 Thank you.

01:03:42.440 Thank you.

01:03:43.180 He is both

01:03:43.860 generous and

01:03:44.800 disarming in

01:03:45.760 person.

01:03:46.680 And you do not

01:03:47.820 get any sense of,

01:03:49.200 you know, evil.

01:03:51.140 Like, you don't get

01:03:51.760 any of that in

01:03:52.340 person.

01:03:53.720 And he will show

01:03:54.680 interest in you

01:03:55.720 that you didn't

01:03:57.140 think was possible.

01:03:58.780 Like, he'll ask

01:03:59.400 questions about your

01:04:00.280 situation and

01:04:01.500 actually listen to

01:04:02.400 you, and you feel

01:04:03.600 that he's actually

01:04:04.180 listening.

01:04:04.960 That was my

01:04:05.560 experience.

01:04:05.960 And I think it's

01:04:09.380 one of his

01:04:09.760 greatest assets.

01:04:11.340 But he keeps

01:04:12.220 that greatest asset

01:04:13.240 sort of, you

01:04:14.640 know, close.

01:04:15.860 You know, people

01:04:16.380 who know him

01:04:17.060 know it, but the

01:04:19.200 people who hate

01:04:20.440 him don't know

01:04:20.960 it.

01:04:22.060 Now, this would

01:04:23.000 probably work with

01:04:23.580 Biden as well,

01:04:24.560 right?

01:04:25.240 Because people at

01:04:26.020 that level can be

01:04:27.180 pretty charismatic.

01:04:28.460 So probably if you

01:04:29.460 were a big Biden

01:04:30.120 hater, but you went

01:04:31.340 to lunch with him,

01:04:32.060 you'd kind of leave

01:04:32.660 going, well, he

01:04:34.140 did have some

01:04:34.620 points.

01:04:36.180 So I think we

01:04:38.380 make the mistake

01:04:39.140 of thinking that

01:04:39.920 everybody is a TV

01:04:40.840 person, and they're

01:04:41.860 just images on the

01:04:42.780 screen, so you can

01:04:44.020 hate them and call 0.69

01:04:44.780 them vermin and do 0.61

01:04:45.920 anything you want

01:04:46.480 because they're not

01:04:46.900 real.

01:04:47.900 But if he just

01:04:49.000 every week went to

01:04:49.960 lunch with a

01:04:54.340 green-haired lesbian

01:04:55.460 and the next time

01:04:57.460 two nine binaries

01:04:59.420 and a member of

01:05:01.880 Antifa, who's

01:05:02.640 as long as he

01:05:03.080 had good security,

01:05:04.560 you know, two

01:05:05.420 members of Black

01:05:06.220 Lives Matter,

01:05:07.940 wouldn't you love

01:05:08.540 to see that?

01:05:09.860 And just do it

01:05:10.380 once a week.

01:05:13.600 Yeah, because,

01:05:14.660 you know, a lot

01:05:15.120 of people just want

01:05:15.820 to be heard.

01:05:17.140 Would you agree?

01:05:19.300 I think psychologists

01:05:20.540 would agree with

01:05:21.240 this.

01:05:21.620 A lot of people

01:05:22.200 want to know that

01:05:24.340 their version actually

01:05:25.600 got into the brain

01:05:26.760 of the person who

01:05:27.440 makes the decision,

01:05:28.680 and they rolled it

01:05:29.620 around, they compared

01:05:30.960 it to what they

01:05:31.500 were doing, and

01:05:32.600 then if they

01:05:33.140 still decide to

01:05:33.920 do what they

01:05:34.300 were already

01:05:34.680 doing, well, at

01:05:36.520 least you did

01:05:36.960 your job.

01:05:38.120 Like, you got in

01:05:38.940 there, you gave

01:05:40.680 the counterargument,

01:05:41.660 you would feel

01:05:42.140 completely differently,

01:05:43.040 even if the decision

01:05:44.660 goes the other way.

01:05:48.040 Podcast lunch with

01:05:48.900 Trump.

01:05:50.720 Yeah, no, I think

01:05:51.500 it should be private

01:05:52.220 if he had lunch.

01:05:54.400 So the other thing

01:05:55.260 I say, if somebody

01:05:55.880 calls you a fascist,

01:05:56.880 I was trying to get

01:05:57.420 down on X yesterday,

01:05:59.020 I mocked them and

01:06:00.320 say, apparently you

01:06:01.340 ran out of words.

01:06:03.180 If you have to start

01:06:04.080 using words that even

01:06:05.080 you don't know the

01:06:05.740 meaning, it means you

01:06:06.980 ran out of words.

01:06:08.700 It doesn't mean

01:06:09.240 anything.

01:06:09.800 It's just a way to

01:06:11.180 dismiss it as silly.

01:06:15.800 All right.

01:06:17.420 Adrian Norman had a

01:06:18.860 fascinating podcast that

01:06:20.980 I reposted.

01:06:23.060 So if you're looking

01:06:23.620 at it, if you're

01:06:24.400 looking for it, look

01:06:25.780 for Adrian Norman,

01:06:28.840 D.C.

01:06:30.340 That's what he goes

01:06:31.020 by by his ex-name.

01:06:33.020 And he interviewed a

01:06:34.260 guy who seems to know

01:06:35.220 a lot about Hezbollah

01:06:36.880 sleeper groups in the

01:06:38.360 United States.

01:06:39.540 Something called Unit

01:06:40.720 910 has infiltrated

01:06:43.460 the United States and

01:06:44.540 other countries.

01:06:46.200 So apparently Hezbollah,

01:06:47.720 backed by Iran,

01:06:48.720 is far bigger than I

01:06:52.760 think most people

01:06:53.340 realized.

01:06:54.860 You know, I kind of

01:06:55.540 thought of them as this

01:06:56.840 little group of people

01:06:57.820 in Lebanon that

01:06:59.740 sometimes send rockets

01:07:00.840 in Israel.

01:07:01.920 I don't really think of

01:07:03.100 them as a global

01:07:04.020 organization, but you

01:07:06.060 should because they're a

01:07:07.820 global organization.

01:07:09.780 And apparently these are

01:07:10.700 the ones who figure out

01:07:12.560 how to, among other

01:07:15.020 things, you know, it's

01:07:15.700 basically a spy

01:07:16.480 organization, but among

01:07:17.540 other things they figure

01:07:18.380 out what to blow up in

01:07:19.340 the United States if

01:07:20.760 they need to blow

01:07:21.380 something up.

01:07:23.760 So in theory, a

01:07:25.860 country like Iran, and

01:07:28.440 I wrote a book about

01:07:29.480 this very idea, the

01:07:30.760 religion war, it's a key 1.00

01:07:32.300 part of the book, is

01:07:33.600 that if you have a

01:07:34.760 country that can't

01:07:35.520 compete in the

01:07:36.460 traditional nuclear

01:07:38.620 way, the one thing you

01:07:40.620 could do is over time

01:07:41.660 infiltrate a lot of

01:07:42.800 people into the major

01:07:44.120 cities of your enemy

01:07:45.480 and get them set up so

01:07:47.560 they can do some

01:07:48.320 terrorist act that

01:07:50.160 would happen at the

01:07:50.940 same time in multiple

01:07:51.840 places.

01:07:53.340 So that you could

01:07:54.080 basically cripple the

01:07:55.280 country with, you know,

01:07:56.740 well-chosen, you know,

01:07:58.360 hit a power plant, knock

01:07:59.940 out some bridges, you

01:08:00.880 know, really go for,

01:08:01.600 like, some key

01:08:02.400 infrastructure, and you

01:08:04.000 just, the whole country

01:08:06.100 would shut down for

01:08:07.020 months.

01:08:08.520 So I think that it was

01:08:10.260 sort of an obvious

01:08:11.060 strategy, but I think it

01:08:12.300 looks like Hezbollah is 0.95

01:08:13.160 doing that.

01:08:13.580 Now, you might ask

01:08:14.720 yourself, why don't

01:08:15.380 they do it yet?

01:08:17.900 Why have there not

01:08:18.800 been any terrorist

01:08:19.540 things yet?

01:08:20.640 Because we've been at,

01:08:21.520 you know, Rand's neck

01:08:23.440 for a long time.

01:08:24.840 And I would ask you

01:08:26.160 this, how do you know

01:08:28.020 there weren't?

01:08:29.840 You know, you keep

01:08:30.700 hearing about energy

01:08:31.620 plants and food

01:08:33.640 processing plants having

01:08:35.900 all these explosions and

01:08:37.240 problems, and some people

01:08:39.280 said, are these all

01:08:40.400 natural?

01:08:40.820 Well, it feels like a

01:08:42.660 lot of meat processing

01:08:43.660 plants are having

01:08:44.400 trouble lately.

01:08:45.800 Now, I don't know,

01:08:46.700 maybe that's conspiracy

01:08:47.620 theory stuff, but it

01:08:50.760 wouldn't be surprising

01:08:51.780 if dirty tricks were

01:08:54.860 already happening, and we

01:08:56.040 just don't know it.

01:08:57.500 Wouldn't be surprising.

01:09:00.540 All right, Fox News

01:09:02.860 has a story about young

01:09:04.240 people turning on Joe

01:09:05.800 Biden, and some of them

01:09:08.060 are calling him

01:09:08.660 Genocide Joe.

01:09:09.560 I don't know how many

01:09:11.360 of them are calling him

01:09:11.960 I got a feeling that was

01:09:13.160 like one person they

01:09:14.020 talked to.

01:09:14.740 Yeah, we like to call him

01:09:15.660 Genocide Joe.

01:09:16.800 So that became the

01:09:17.500 headline.

01:09:18.320 I don't know how many

01:09:19.000 people are calling him

01:09:19.780 that, but they're turning

01:09:21.860 on him over his refusal

01:09:24.000 to back a ceasefire, even

01:09:26.900 though there's sort of

01:09:27.920 one, a temporary one

01:09:28.960 now.

01:09:32.060 But the experts say this.

01:09:35.520 Are they really going to

01:09:37.040 vote for Trump instead?

01:09:38.120 Yeah, when it comes right

01:09:44.840 down to a choice, are they

01:09:47.020 going to choose Trump?

01:09:49.340 So don't get too excited if

01:09:51.340 the polls say that the

01:09:52.540 young people don't like 1.00

01:09:53.740 Biden, because they might

01:09:55.680 dislike Trump more, and

01:09:57.160 that's going to be the

01:09:57.900 critical thing.

01:09:58.860 But it could make a big

01:10:00.480 difference if they stay

01:10:01.340 home, right?

01:10:02.140 So if they're not excited

01:10:03.540 about either one, that's a

01:10:05.600 good reason not to vote.

01:10:07.340 So you might see Trump

01:10:08.620 winning just because, you

01:10:10.820 know, maybe the ones who

01:10:11.520 did vote were already on

01:10:13.820 his side.

01:10:16.060 But it's weird to see how

01:10:18.180 dumb young people are, that 1.00

01:10:20.820 they somehow don't realize

01:10:22.160 that Trump would have also

01:10:23.400 backed Israel completely.

01:10:24.720 Well, he does.

01:10:26.680 So why would you hate, you

01:10:28.820 know, the one person when

01:10:30.220 the other person would do

01:10:31.160 exactly the same thing?

01:10:32.280 In fact, pretty much most of

01:10:35.240 our politicians would do the

01:10:36.440 same thing.

01:10:37.220 But the young, I don't know,

01:10:39.100 don't have the context, maybe.

01:10:41.720 Yeah.

01:10:45.020 As Mike Cernovich pointed out

01:10:47.940 today, or yesterday in the

01:10:49.720 post, that the plan to ship

01:10:52.660 Gazans to the West has been

01:10:54.400 endorsed by multiple

01:10:56.240 Knesset members.

01:11:00.300 And so that's Israel. 0.57

01:11:02.260 And that the current Israeli 0.97

01:11:03.500 Minister of Intelligence and

01:11:04.660 numerous others have planned

01:11:06.640 it.

01:11:07.520 And Mike Cernovich, in his

01:11:09.400 classic inimitable way, says,

01:11:14.380 and still low IQ American

01:11:15.900 conservatives will claim this

01:11:17.380 isn't the plan.

01:11:18.180 And one member, ex-member of

01:11:22.920 the Israel government, is

01:11:24.260 saying, each country should

01:11:26.000 take a quota.

01:11:27.420 We need all two million to

01:11:29.000 leave. 0.99

01:11:30.020 That is the solution for

01:11:31.260 Gaza.

01:11:32.100 Well, at least they're saying

01:11:33.540 it directly now.

01:11:35.460 Now, I think I've been telling

01:11:37.080 you since the start that

01:11:39.140 there's no scenario that makes

01:11:40.560 sense where Israel wreaks 0.99

01:11:43.460 havoc in Gaza and then says,

01:11:45.180 all right, rebuild.

01:11:45.820 That can't happen.

01:11:48.820 Under no scenario can that

01:11:50.560 happen.

01:11:51.220 They have to completely own it,

01:11:53.840 depopulate it, turn it into

01:11:56.220 some other thing.

01:11:57.120 It just can't be where the

01:11:59.320 Hamas and Palestinians ever 1.00

01:12:01.040 live again, probably.

01:12:02.500 Now, they might, if they're

01:12:04.000 smart, they're not going to

01:12:06.300 exclude all Palestinians. 0.97

01:12:08.400 But they would vet them so

01:12:10.060 carefully that almost nobody

01:12:11.320 would get through.

01:12:13.020 But they could still say,

01:12:14.400 well, look, we've got

01:12:15.040 Palestinians living here.

01:12:16.280 We've got Jews.

01:12:17.180 Everybody's living happily.

01:12:18.440 But it would be because they

01:12:19.280 vetted them so extremely that

01:12:22.320 they knew what they were

01:12:23.380 getting.

01:12:25.860 All right.

01:12:27.180 So I do believe this is an

01:12:29.140 existential risk to the United

01:12:31.300 States, that there will be more

01:12:34.100 of this.

01:12:35.400 And if we open up our borders to 0.91

01:12:37.040 people who's too many of them,

01:12:39.780 this is the Moroccan question.

01:12:41.640 We're not saying all Moroccans are

01:12:43.120 criminals.

01:12:43.420 Nobody says that.

01:12:45.020 And we're certainly not saying

01:12:46.080 that all Palestinians are 0.98

01:12:47.420 dangerous to America.

01:12:50.500 Don't believe that.

01:12:52.500 In fact, I've known personally a

01:12:56.020 number of Palestinian types who are

01:12:59.020 just awesome people.

01:13:00.700 So it's not about all of them.

01:13:03.200 It's about managing your risk.

01:13:05.360 So here again, I say that if you

01:13:08.480 were trying to keep America safe,

01:13:11.060 you don't care about anything

01:13:13.280 except can you know for sure that

01:13:16.780 this population of people is going

01:13:18.180 to be safe in the long run?

01:13:19.760 And if you can't, that's it.

01:13:24.920 Michael says, Scott, there's more to

01:13:26.900 life than politics.

01:13:28.100 Christ.

01:13:28.460 Do you know what this live stream is

01:13:34.920 about?

01:13:36.080 Sort of a live stream about

01:13:37.660 politics.

01:13:39.620 Nobody told you that?

01:13:41.820 Did you think it was all going to be

01:13:42.940 Dilbert Comics?

01:13:44.640 I'm sorry.

01:13:47.580 All right.

01:13:49.340 Well, the most important thing today is

01:13:51.400 that it's Thanksgiving.

01:13:52.260 And for all of you lonely people,

01:13:55.940 I'll be doing a live stream

01:13:58.040 starting at 6 p.m. Eastern time,

01:14:01.840 3 p.m. my time.

01:14:03.720 First hour will be family friendly.

01:14:06.080 And then I might go private if we

01:14:07.600 want to have some adult

01:14:10.000 conversations and whatnot.

01:14:12.800 But if you're alone on Thanksgiving

01:14:15.380 and you like some company,

01:14:18.500 that's what I'll be for.

01:14:19.500 So I'm not going to be presenting

01:14:21.420 anything.

01:14:22.660 I'm just going to be hanging out

01:14:23.740 with you while I make some food.

01:14:26.560 So I'm going to be cooking and

01:14:27.800 prepping and chatting to you.

01:14:30.260 I have my official chef's hat and

01:14:32.240 apron.

01:14:33.380 And you can just put it on and feel

01:14:35.260 like you've got a friend.

01:14:36.760 I'll be your virtual friend.

01:14:38.780 As you know, the biggest, one of the

01:14:41.060 biggest health risks in the world

01:14:42.400 right now is loneliness because our

01:14:44.040 system is driving us to be lonely.

01:14:48.780 And so I'll try to do what I can to

01:14:50.920 fix that.

01:14:51.500 This will be a little test.

01:14:52.860 If it goes well, maybe I'll do more

01:14:54.580 of it.

01:14:55.880 We'll see if people like it.

01:14:58.080 But don't miss it.

01:15:00.200 If you're lonely, let me help.

01:15:03.480 And I will also like to take this

01:15:05.420 opportunity to show my gratitude

01:15:08.140 to every one of you and anyone who's

01:15:11.420 ever watched this all year.

01:15:13.140 As you know, I ran into a little bit

01:15:15.660 of trouble earlier this year.

01:15:16.980 I don't know if anybody heard.

01:15:18.780 A little thing called cancellation.

01:15:21.060 And at the moment, I'm doing great.

01:15:25.660 Happier than ever.

01:15:27.040 Literally happier than ever.

01:15:28.960 And it's because of you.

01:15:31.920 You're the ones who did not turn your 0.94

01:15:34.080 backs on me.

01:15:35.680 You're the ones who looked at the

01:15:37.060 proper context and said, do we care

01:15:39.780 about that or do we not care about

01:15:41.120 that?

01:15:42.000 And you're the smartest audience in

01:15:44.080 all of live streaming, which I

01:15:47.300 actually believe.

01:15:48.040 I believe that literally.

01:15:49.740 And I cannot tell you how much I

01:15:54.060 appreciate you because words would

01:15:57.060 fail.

01:15:58.120 Yeah.

01:15:58.360 My appreciation for you and what

01:16:00.760 you've done for me is extreme.

01:16:03.120 And I try to repay the favor as often

01:16:07.320 as possible, which can help bond us.

01:16:11.100 A number of you have been nice enough

01:16:13.580 to say that I've changed your lives in

01:16:16.520 a variety of ways.

01:16:17.840 Some of you have already bought your

01:16:19.720 copy of my new book, Reframe Your

01:16:21.820 Brain, which, by the way, this sounds

01:16:25.040 like marketing and it is, but it's also

01:16:27.660 true.

01:16:28.780 I wouldn't wait too long to order this

01:16:31.240 if you want to get it as a gift.

01:16:32.440 It's sort of the perfect gift book

01:16:34.660 because it works for everybody.

01:16:36.260 There's nobody, literally nobody,

01:16:39.220 who would not find this an

01:16:41.040 interesting book.

01:16:42.420 It's not like knowing somebody likes

01:16:43.920 certain kinds of books.

01:16:45.560 This one's guaranteed because it's

01:16:47.560 just easy little reframes that would

01:16:49.780 work for everybody.

01:16:52.180 So because it's independently

01:16:54.360 published, which means that Amazon

01:16:56.180 publishes them based on the orders

01:16:58.500 that come in.

01:16:59.460 So they don't make them in advance

01:17:01.160 just in case you want them.

01:17:02.440 So I don't know that if you wait

01:17:05.640 until too close to Christmas, you

01:17:07.200 would get it on time.

01:17:09.240 I'm kind of expecting that they're

01:17:11.340 going to tell me any moment now, oh,

01:17:13.040 there's a two-week delay or something.

01:17:14.980 So if you're smart, the following week,

01:17:18.160 if you want any copies of that, I would

01:17:20.100 get them.

01:17:20.620 That is marketing, of course, but I think

01:17:24.800 it's true.

01:17:25.380 I think there might be some supply

01:17:28.500 problems in the last two weeks.

01:17:32.120 All right.

01:17:32.660 Well, Annie, I'm glad I helped you during the pandemic.

01:17:37.420 And you certainly returned the favor.

01:17:40.760 All of you did.

01:17:41.960 So I'll see you, YouTube, either tomorrow or tonight.

01:17:47.700 By the way, usually the stream will not be on YouTube.

01:17:50.520 I think I didn't mention that.

01:17:51.500 It'll be on the Locals stream.

01:17:54.880 Usually it's private, but I'm going to make it public

01:17:58.820 so everybody can watch it.

01:18:00.900 That would be at scottadams.locals.com.

01:18:05.720 That's where you'd find me, and it'll go live

01:18:07.620 at 6 p.m. Eastern time.

01:18:10.340 I'll see you tomorrow or tonight.

01:18:13.020 Thanks for joining.
