Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2307 Scott Adams： CWSA 11⧸2⧸23 When Woke Becomes The Joke, Putin Makes A Funny Play, More!

00:00:00.400 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:04.200 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:09.520 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, the best time you've ever had this morning.

00:00:14.400 And if you'd like to take this up to a level that can hardly be understood by human brains

00:00:18.880 and even AI would have a little bit trouble with it, even with quantum computing.

00:00:22.820 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:32.380 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:35.640 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:41.760 It's called simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:45.460 Oh.

00:00:50.420 Yes, drink from the cup of knowledge.

00:00:53.820 My cup of knowledge is a little low, but it wouldn't be the first time I had to half-ass it.

00:01:02.200 You know what I mean?

00:01:05.180 Well, I mentioned the other day that Daily Wire has this movie that's only available on the Daily Wire Plus service, I guess.

00:01:12.940 And it is a comedy that makes fun of trans athletes, specifically the ones born with male stuff and transitioning to female stuff.

00:01:24.560 But I didn't know the name of the movie the first time I mentioned it, and I'm going to say that I've never seen a movie that could recommend itself so hard with the title.

00:01:38.060 It's called Lady Ballers.

00:01:40.740 It might be the funniest title of a movie of all time, because generally the title doesn't make you laugh.

00:01:50.520 You know, like Dumb and Dumber is a classic, but it doesn't make you laugh.

00:01:54.480 Or, you know, Steve Martin's The Jerk, you know, it's interesting, but it does make you laugh.

00:02:00.840 But every time I see Lady Ballers, I'll laugh.

00:02:04.020 So, I think it's worth the price of admission just to pay them back for the good movie title.

00:02:13.980 So, anyway, it's very irreverent and non-woke.

00:02:20.680 Well, Charlie Munger, partner of Warren Buffett, died at 99, approximately one month before his 100th birthday,

00:02:29.240 which is sort of a double tragedy.

00:02:30.900 Imagine how angry you would be if you knew you were dying a month before you were 100.

00:02:36.320 Well, I'd be dying and pissed off at the same time.

00:02:39.580 Well, what do you mean I'm dying a month before I'm 100?

00:02:41.920 Come on! Come on!

00:02:44.280 Well, have I ever told you that you should not take my investment advice?

00:02:51.020 Have I ever mentioned that?

00:02:52.900 Probably three times a week I mention it.

00:02:55.840 Well, I'd like to give you one of my great investment successes.

00:03:00.900 20 years ago, after holding Berkshire Hathaway stock for, I don't know, maybe 15 years at that point,

00:03:09.280 I said to myself, because I'm so smart, I said, you know, Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett are so old

00:03:22.140 that the company will probably have a plunge in stock price if either one of them dies.

00:03:27.020 So I said, I'm going to be smart, I'm going to get out, because I don't like how those two are looking.

00:03:32.980 Well, that was 20 years ago.

00:03:35.300 That's right.

00:03:36.420 I missed 20 years of Berkshire Hathaway gains, because they look too old to me.

00:03:44.120 It sort of makes Biden look a little bit better.

00:03:47.380 Anyway, so that's why I say do not take my financial advice.

00:03:53.020 Yes, really, don't take it, except for diversifying.

00:03:58.380 Well, the Washington Post got 120 employees to accept buyout packages, but they need more.

00:04:05.180 So if they don't get another 120, they'll start laying off people on, you know, without that being voluntary.

00:04:12.820 At the same time, we hear that Washington Post has decided it will not advertise on the X platform,

00:04:21.180 which raises the question, do they have enough money to advertise?

00:04:26.820 I mean, and how much benefit were they getting by advertising on the X platform?

00:04:33.640 Because at least 75% of the X platform is people talking about how the Washington Post is fake news.

00:04:39.900 Why would you advertise on the primary place that people learn that you don't have a real product?

00:04:47.040 It's like the main place you go to learn that the Washington Post is an illegitimate source of news.

00:04:54.320 I don't think I would advertise there.

00:04:56.860 But as you know, the Washington Post was the flagship newspaper that canceled me,

00:05:03.780 causing a wave of cancellations that took me out completely.

00:05:06.920 But here's the question I asked you.

00:05:11.720 If you had to bet, knowing that Charlie Munger lived to 99,

00:05:16.980 and I think he worked the entire time,

00:05:20.320 who do you think will last longer?

00:05:22.780 The Washington Post or me?

00:05:27.320 It's a serious question.

00:05:29.200 Which one of us do you think will still be in business in 10 years?

00:05:32.620 Maybe me.

00:05:35.240 I mean, you know, age is a factor.

00:05:37.520 But I don't know if the Washington Post is going to last 10 years.

00:05:41.480 That feels like quite a stretch, doesn't it?

00:05:44.940 So, I think Prisoner Island, it is mine.

00:05:52.140 All right.

00:05:53.640 Actress Cynthia Nixon is going on a hunger strike

00:05:56.640 until there's a ceasefire in Gaza.

00:06:00.500 Now, I've decided, you know, I don't know what her politics is,

00:06:05.140 but I've decided to join her on her hunger strike.

00:06:08.300 And, you know, I'm not as committed.

00:06:10.760 Not as committed.

00:06:11.860 So, I'm going to see how it goes until lunchtime.

00:06:14.480 But if at lunchtime there's no ceasefire,

00:06:19.620 I reserve the right to tweak my strategy.

00:06:23.480 And, honestly, I'm pretty hungry right now,

00:06:26.780 so I don't know how this is going to work out.

00:06:28.320 But I'm going to take it until lunchtime.

00:06:31.320 So, I'm on board for world peace.

00:06:33.720 If we don't get it by lunchtime,

00:06:36.180 well, then I might have to eat something.

00:06:38.140 But the rest of you are, what are you doing, nothing?

00:06:41.860 The rest of you are doing nothing for world peace.

00:06:45.100 Is that what I'm hearing?

00:06:46.400 Nothing.

00:06:47.460 Great.

00:06:48.300 Great.

00:06:49.100 It's up to me and Cynthia Nixon to get this done.

00:06:52.480 Watch me not eat.

00:06:53.480 I'm doing it right now.

00:06:56.900 I'm modeling it.

00:06:58.900 Watch.

00:06:59.920 Watch me not eat.

00:07:02.080 I'm doing it.

00:07:03.260 I'm doing it right in front of you.

00:07:04.760 Still not eating.

00:07:06.800 I don't want to say I'm a hero.

00:07:11.480 But I'll probably write it down and tweet it.

00:07:14.240 I just don't want to say it.

00:07:16.120 But, you know, I'll probably post it.

00:07:17.340 Well, China is further suppressing Muslims.

00:07:23.260 So, I guess they're saying that they're consolidating the mosques.

00:07:28.020 That's what China says.

00:07:29.660 We're consolidating the mosques, meaning closing a lot of mosques.

00:07:34.880 And, excuse me.

00:07:37.180 And so they're calling it the sinicization of Islam, which means trying to make Islam more

00:07:48.860 compatible with China's whole system, which is exactly like getting rid of Islam, because

00:07:54.400 there's no way they're compatible.

00:07:56.400 So, I propose to you this.

00:08:01.080 China is treating Islam like a dangerous virus.

00:08:07.420 Would you agree?

00:08:08.300 Is that a good analogy?

00:08:10.300 They're treating it like something that needs to be, first of all, quarantined.

00:08:15.600 That's what they did with the Uyghurs.

00:08:17.480 They literally quarantine them.

00:08:19.220 They don't let them mix with other people.

00:08:21.740 Then they try to get a hold of their education system so that you can't make more of them.

00:08:27.920 And now they're consolidating the mosques, so there's not even a place that's easy to

00:08:33.480 go to if you want to do your religion.

00:08:36.540 So, I'm not saying right or wrong.

00:08:39.100 So, I'm not agreeing with them or disagreeing with China.

00:08:41.580 I'm just describing that they've decided to treat it like a mind virus, just like they

00:08:48.720 treat COVID.

00:08:50.840 It's basically the same thing they did with COVID.

00:08:54.020 You know, just starve it, basically.

00:08:55.680 Now, how does Israel treat Islam?

00:09:01.080 I would say Israel treats it, at least the radical parts of Islam, because obviously they

00:09:05.600 do live in peace with, you know, most of Islam.

00:09:10.720 But the radical parts, they treat it like a security problem.

00:09:15.360 Now, you could argue that China is also treating it like a security problem, but I think you

00:09:20.320 see the point that the way they treat it is more like quarantine virus kind of a thing.

00:09:25.820 You know, you can't let it touch anybody.

00:09:28.220 Whereas Israel is not doing anything like that.

00:09:31.280 It's more like we will put up walls and fences and we'll try to keep you around and we'll try

00:09:38.020 to watch really carefully.

00:09:38.960 Basically, standard security stuff, self-defense.

00:09:45.500 Europe is treating Islam like what?

00:09:50.820 Is Europe treating it the way China is treating it, like a virus?

00:09:55.680 No.

00:09:56.520 Is Europe treating it like it's a security problem, where you've got to really check everybody

00:10:01.540 carefully and don't let anybody in unless you know who it is?

00:10:04.020 No.

00:10:05.640 China is treating it like an advantage, like a benefit, like a feature, because diversity

00:10:13.700 is generally considered a good thing.

00:10:17.640 So you've got China treating it like a virus, Israel treating it like a security problem.

00:10:25.240 We're really an existential threat, security-wise.

00:10:28.760 Europe treating it like it's an advantage.

00:10:34.020 What's America doing?

00:10:35.900 Are we treating it like a virus, a security problem, or an advantage?

00:10:43.160 And who will still be here in 100 years?

00:10:46.900 Well, China's looking good.

00:10:49.100 I think China will be here in 100 years.

00:10:52.980 Europe, maybe not so much.

00:10:55.340 Well, I mean, Europe will exist, but it will probably be Islamic.

00:10:58.540 And I would say that America is going to make its decision in November.

00:11:05.080 So my take is that if you get a Republican, it's going to go one way.

00:11:10.260 And if you get a Democrat or Joe Biden, it might go the other way.

00:11:14.940 So America hasn't decided.

00:11:16.520 But we've got three completely different models.

00:11:19.780 Virus, security problem, or advantage.

00:11:22.220 How different are those?

00:11:26.680 I've never heard of one religion that nobody knew what to do with it.

00:11:30.820 It's like, what is this thing?

00:11:32.260 A virus, a security problem, an advantage?

00:11:36.100 We'll find out.

00:11:37.520 All right, America has to figure that out.

00:11:40.580 Jewish college students are no surprise seeing an uptick in on-campus anti-Semitism.

00:11:47.600 Now, I'm going to give you some numbers that I found shocking, but not for the reasons you think.

00:11:57.120 All right, so it's also shocking for the reasons you think.

00:12:00.240 But in addition to the reasons you think, there's an extra level of shock.

00:12:05.540 All right, so the reason you think is that nearly 73% of Jewish students say they've been

00:12:12.040 victims of anti-Semitism just this year, just this year, 73%.

00:12:18.760 And here's the second shocking part.

00:12:22.920 It's an increase from 63% in 2021.

00:12:28.000 What?

00:12:29.560 Are you kidding me?

00:12:31.920 That even before everything blew up in the Middle East, before that,

00:12:36.820 if you were a Jewish student in a university in the United States, 63% of you in 2021 would

00:12:46.340 have said you were victims of anti-Semitism?

00:12:49.780 What does that include exactly?

00:12:53.060 Is that mostly verbal?

00:12:56.460 Like, isn't that the most, that's the most alarming number I've seen in a long time.

00:13:01.640 That is alarming.

00:13:03.340 63% before there was an international issue.

00:13:08.820 That's crazy.

00:13:11.100 And then we go to this.

00:13:12.700 By comparison, 44% of non-Jewish students have experienced or witnessed such acts.

00:13:18.820 Wait, they've experienced them or witnessed them?

00:13:21.400 Well, how do you add witnessed to experienced?

00:13:26.820 Well, we're changing how we do the murder rates.

00:13:30.400 Now it's going to be the number of people who were murdered, plus the people who saw it happen.

00:13:37.920 What kind of a data is that?

00:13:40.780 That's crazy.

00:13:42.560 All right.

00:13:44.820 So, that is an insane amount of anti-Semitism.

00:13:52.120 But, here's what I think.

00:13:57.280 Do you think that maybe this is also a symptom of the level of wokeness?

00:14:03.720 In other words, if you asked black college students, had they been discriminated in the last year?

00:14:11.100 Probably all of them.

00:14:12.080 Well, not all.

00:14:13.300 Many of them would say yes.

00:14:14.540 If you asked a bunch of anything, you know, white Christian college students.

00:14:22.780 Hey, have you white Christian college students been discriminated against in the past year?

00:14:29.220 I'll bet they'd say yes.

00:14:31.160 Conservatives, I'll bet they'd say yes.

00:14:32.880 Democrats, Republicans.

00:14:34.800 Basically, everybody's pretty sure they're a victim.

00:14:37.760 But the Jewish numbers are crazy, how high they are.

00:14:41.500 Anyway, somebody named Abigail Schreier wrote in something called Commentary, and then the Wall Street Journal picked it up for an opinion piece.

00:14:55.800 And she asked this question.

00:14:57.200 Why are the BLM supporters, climate extremists, academic feminists, and trans activists so quick to side with Hamas?

00:15:05.460 And, of course, you've asked the same question.

00:15:07.620 You know, why are the people that Hamas would literally murder, like literally murder, as soon as they had a chance to, why are they supporting Hamas when Hamas would literally murder them?

00:15:21.620 And, you know, it's obvious.

00:15:22.840 It's in their whole belief system.

00:15:26.060 Well, the hypothesis here is that it's all related to Marxism, and that Marxism could be defined as,

00:15:33.720 and again, this is Abigail Schreier's writing.

00:15:37.600 You could define Marxism with one sentence.

00:15:41.280 Hate those who have something you don't.

00:15:45.240 It's basically hate for people who have more than you have.

00:15:51.080 But I would go further and say it's hate for people who have more than you have,

00:15:56.360 and you're also unwilling or unable to work for it.

00:16:02.560 Because if you thought you could get it, too, I don't think it would bother you at all.

00:16:08.560 Because when I was a little kid, I used to think, you know, hey, if I work hard, I'll have what people who have more than me have.

00:16:19.100 So I was never jealous of rich people when I was, well, I suppose everybody has a little envy.

00:16:25.040 But I wasn't jealous of rich people like, you know, I must kill them and take their stuff and change the system.

00:16:31.560 I just thought, oh, I want to be like them.

00:16:34.180 So I'll work hard and do the obvious things to be successful.

00:16:37.300 But I've been looking for a way to mark Marxism because I contend that one of the reasons it's sticky is that people don't understand it.

00:16:54.160 So people are reading into it whatever they want to feel.

00:16:58.840 So people probably have, you know, jealousy.

00:17:01.100 That's part of it.

00:17:02.120 But others probably feel like they're outcasts and they want to be part of something.

00:17:05.980 Some people are just joiners.

00:17:08.080 So there's probably a whole bunch of reasons that somebody aligns with Marxism.

00:17:13.200 Because it's sort of vague.

00:17:15.100 It allows you to map whatever you're thinking onto it.

00:17:20.140 And there's no clean, simple, you know, one bullet point that tells you what it is for the people who don't know what it is.

00:17:31.000 So I would like to suggest, just brainstorming here, my suggestion is to call Marxism, to say it's called Marxism because it marks successful people for destruction.

00:17:47.080 Marxism is for marking people for destruction.

00:17:53.840 Am I wrong?

00:17:56.300 Doesn't that capture it pretty well?

00:17:58.000 Well, the entire thing is that they're not trying to make the poor people rich.

00:18:04.620 They're trying to make the rich people poor.

00:18:07.880 Isn't that the entire thing?

00:18:10.160 It's not about making poor people rich.

00:18:12.600 It's about making rich people poor.

00:18:15.820 You're marking them for destruction.

00:18:17.540 So I think you could sell to the undereducated public that Marxism is based on the word mark, to mark somebody for death or mark them for destruction.

00:18:32.320 Because that's how it plays out in reality.

00:18:34.540 In reality, it's a complaint about the oppressors.

00:18:37.840 You're marking the oppressors.

00:18:39.380 And the oppressors tend to have the money.

00:18:40.880 So Marxism is marking people for destruction if they have more than you do.

00:18:48.760 All right.

00:18:53.460 I'm going to call this a Fox News story.

00:18:56.780 Not that it was in Fox News, but it's sort of one of these perfect anecdotal stories that they used to, let's say, be a proxy for some larger thing.

00:19:08.500 All right.

00:19:09.840 So it's the smallest possible story.

00:19:14.460 There's a BM leader, BLM, not BM leader.

00:19:18.680 BM leader is completely different.

00:19:23.380 The BLM leader who's endorsing Trump for 2024.

00:19:28.300 Now, you know that's going to be on Fox News, right?

00:19:30.880 If there's a Black Lives Matter leader who flipped to Trump.

00:19:33.760 But a few paragraphs down, I saw it actually in a New York Post story, but I'm pretty sure Fox will cover this.

00:19:43.940 Or they did.

00:19:45.120 I think they already did.

00:19:47.560 But here's this part they leave out.

00:19:51.060 It's true that a BLM leader has endorsed Trump.

00:19:56.080 So the story is true.

00:19:57.900 Here's what you don't notice right away.

00:20:00.020 It was the BM leader, or one of them, for Rhode Island.

00:20:05.900 Rhode Island.

00:20:07.880 Now, I don't know how robust the Black Lives Matter movement in Rhode Island was, where they have a 5% black population, about half of the national average in our smallest state.

00:20:24.540 But I have a feeling that Black Lives Matter of Rhode Island, you know, wasn't putting on the most aggressive demonstrations.

00:20:36.700 I'm just guessing.

00:20:39.000 But I was thinking that if that job is open now, the Black Lives Matter leader for Rhode Island, I was thinking of applying.

00:20:46.260 Now, don't laugh.

00:20:49.000 You're probably saying to me, Scott, what are the odds that an old white guy could become the leader of Black Lives Matter in Rhode Island?

00:20:57.500 Right?

00:20:57.900 That's the first thing you think.

00:20:58.820 What are the odds of that happening?

00:21:00.320 Well, I would ask you.

00:21:02.100 What were the odds that a Black Lives Matter leader would say he's voting for Trump?

00:21:07.700 Hello?

00:21:09.100 Yeah, right back at you.

00:21:11.040 Not likely, huh?

00:21:12.260 But I would also point out that the odds of me getting a job as a leader of Black Lives Matter in Rhode Island are no worse than my odds of, let's say, getting a job in a TV commercial.

00:21:28.920 Or getting a job at any big corporation in America.

00:21:33.380 Which would be harder?

00:21:36.440 Yeah.

00:21:37.420 Now it doesn't look so stupid, does it?

00:21:39.180 Suddenly, when you look at it in context, my odds of becoming a leader in Black Lives Matter are actually almost identical to my odds of getting a job in corporate America as a white guy.

00:21:51.940 Pretty close.

00:21:53.140 I mean, they're not exactly the same, but, you know, if you're round, a little rounding, about the same.

00:22:01.240 Well, I have a question for you.

00:22:03.460 Am I allowed to be impressed at the work of a horrible, monstrous dictator?

00:22:10.960 I need a vote.

00:22:12.740 For my audience, would you be offended if I compliment the skill of a horrible, oppressive dictator?

00:22:22.420 Is it okay?

00:22:24.000 I'm seeing a no, yes.

00:22:25.940 All right, I think I can go forward.

00:22:27.200 So, Putin has announced that he won't negotiate with Biden about the end of the Ukraine situation.

00:22:34.260 Instead, he's going to wait for the next president.

00:22:40.900 Putin, Putin, Putin.

00:22:45.480 All right, I'm going to have to walk like Putin.

00:22:48.880 Anybody?

00:22:50.280 I'm going to have to do my Putin walking impression.

00:22:53.240 This calls for it.

00:22:56.140 It's going to require the Putin swagger.

00:23:00.000 Now, I'll have to take off my, I've got to take off my microphone for YouTube for a second.

00:23:05.460 But, if you don't know, Putin has the KGB swagger, and it's notable because one of his arms swings more than the other.

00:23:16.460 You know, one stays sort of at his side, and the other one does more swinging.

00:23:19.960 So, let me show you the Putin swagger.

00:23:23.240 It was perfect, wasn't it?

00:23:44.880 Do you need a Joe Biden?

00:23:46.840 Joe Biden walk?

00:23:47.740 All right, if you insist, I'll do the Joe Biden walk.

00:23:53.240 I also do a lovely Mick Jagger singing.

00:24:16.800 And, uh, my talents are almost endless, really.

00:24:24.180 All right, but back to Putin.

00:24:27.860 Putin took out two presidents.

00:24:32.620 Just think about this.

00:24:33.800 How in the world could Joe Biden win re-election when he's the only person on the planet Earth who would not be able to negotiate the end of the Ukraine war,

00:24:47.440 which, if you did nothing, would end on its own because they're basically out of bullets.

00:24:53.100 Ending the Ukraine war might be the single easiest thing that any American leader could do.

00:25:03.200 Because they really, really want to stop.

00:25:05.860 Like, both sides super, super want to stop fighting.

00:25:09.900 I mean, they really, really, really want to stop.

00:25:12.900 That is the simplest, lowest bar of performance you could ever imagine.

00:25:21.040 And Putin just took Biden out of contention for the most important thing that needs to get done, probably.

00:25:29.040 Right?

00:25:30.520 And he just said he wouldn't even talk to him.

00:25:34.040 That's frickin' awesome.

00:25:35.220 But it gets better.

00:25:41.380 People assume, if you look at the polls, that if it's not Biden, it's going to be Trump.

00:25:48.360 Right?

00:25:48.700 Now, it might not be.

00:25:49.800 There's, you know, legal stuff and who knows what.

00:25:54.600 But, didn't Putin just take Trump out, too?

00:25:59.500 Because, basically, Putin is saying, you know, Trump is my man.

00:26:04.120 We'll wait for him, and, you know, he'll give me a good deal, so I'll wait for that.

00:26:08.520 Oh, my God, that's brilliant.

00:26:10.880 Because he's basically destroyed Trump's reputation by saying, hey, I'll wait for my buddy Trump to get an office.

00:26:18.060 And he's also destroyed Biden by saying he's not going to let Biden solve the easiest problem in the world to solve.

00:26:26.400 He took out both presidents.

00:26:29.560 I mean, seriously.

00:26:31.900 Putin.

00:26:33.480 If you ever thought he was stupid, you better modify that opinion.

00:26:40.580 And I hate to be a fanboy for, you know, a murderous dictator.

00:26:47.100 He's definitely a murderous dictator.

00:26:49.420 So, you know, he's not my friend.

00:26:51.660 But, my God, that's pretty competent, I've got to say.

00:26:56.000 That's pretty competent.

00:26:57.920 I'm very impressed.

00:26:58.780 Persuasion is his game.

00:27:03.720 Diabolical.

00:27:05.240 All right.

00:27:06.280 Here's just the weirdest thing that's happening.

00:27:08.320 I've made this observation before.

00:27:13.200 Have you noticed that, like, huge stories that should be destroying your brain and be the biggest topic in the world, we're just ignoring?

00:27:24.200 And it's because there's so many other things.

00:27:28.000 And sometimes some things are so big that your brain can't hold it.

00:27:32.320 So, you just say, well, I'll get back to that.

00:27:36.040 But right now, I'm worrying about pronouns or something.

00:27:40.420 It's just too many things.

00:27:41.640 And here's the one that really tells the story.

00:27:45.020 According to Tucker Carlson, I'll read his opening statement.

00:27:49.240 For more than 80 years, the U.S. government has hidden the existence of UFOs.

00:27:53.400 The question is why.

00:27:54.640 The answer is ominous.

00:27:57.220 So, apparently, Tucker, having now talked to enough whistleblowers and looked into it for months, maybe years, at least months,

00:28:05.660 Tucker has decided it's just a fact that UFOs are real and that the government is hiding it from us.

00:28:13.280 He has completely left maybe.

00:28:17.040 The land of maybe is long behind him.

00:28:20.580 He's now reporting as fact, verified fact, that we have alien technology in our possession.

00:28:30.660 I'd like to see, by a show of the comments,

00:28:33.740 how many of you think we have alien technology in our possession?

00:28:42.700 A lot of no's, but lots of yes's too.

00:28:48.700 And Representative Tim Burgett agrees.

00:28:54.900 Well, he may be a little more iffy, but he seems to believe that they're real.

00:29:00.120 Wants to find out more about them.

00:29:01.440 But, for some reason, our government wants to keep it a secret.

00:29:07.600 So, the secret would include whether it's even there or not.

00:29:12.020 Now, if there were no UFOs, why would it be a secret?

00:29:18.560 Don't you assume that secrecy means it's real.

00:29:22.180 Is that not your assumption?

00:29:23.260 I mean, secrecy is the main argument for why it's real.

00:29:27.540 Even more than the grainy photographs and eyewitness reports.

00:29:33.720 I think people are more persuaded by the fact that they won't tell you what's happening.

00:29:38.340 Because your common sense says, well, if there's nothing there,

00:29:42.500 the government should have no problem whatsoever saying, yeah, we look, there's nothing there.

00:29:48.460 Right?

00:29:48.860 But, could there be any reason, a valid reason, that the government would not want to admit there's nothing there?

00:29:59.500 Can you think of one?

00:30:00.860 What would be a reason that the government wouldn't want to tell you there's absolutely nothing?

00:30:04.320 There's a really good reason, a really, really good reason.

00:30:14.480 Because we think our military isn't up to fighting.

00:30:18.940 I think that we don't think our military is up to the job.

00:30:24.500 And I think that we have to create doubt in other countries that we have a superweapon.

00:30:30.880 Because, you know, nuclear war is so scary that, you know, you kind of assume that none of the superpowers are going to use a nuke.

00:30:44.100 But what if you had a superweapon that could just end a war without a nuclear weapon?

00:30:50.680 Now, that would be some scary stuff.

00:30:53.720 My hypothesis is that there's no UFOs.

00:30:57.520 But the government knows that they have a benefit to making China think not only do they exist, but we reverse engineer their technology.

00:31:10.000 I don't think there's a slightest chance we've re-engineered alien technology.

00:31:15.900 None.

00:31:17.200 I would put that at right at zero.

00:31:20.540 You know, less than 1%.

00:31:21.760 So, everything's possible, I suppose.

00:31:23.860 But less than 1%, I'd say.

00:31:25.980 Yeah.

00:31:28.160 So, I'm going to say no alien technology will ever be revealed, at least not in a convincing way.

00:31:35.200 Yeah.

00:31:35.540 I would doubt that they're whistleblowers.

00:31:37.800 Now, the question you'd ask yourself is, Scott, how could it be possible that you'd have, I don't know,

00:31:44.180 there might have been like a dozen potential whistleblowers, several of which agreed to come forward.

00:31:50.300 Some said they, you know, didn't take the risk.

00:31:52.760 What would explain that?

00:31:53.880 How could you explain that if they're not real?

00:31:58.160 How about easily?

00:32:01.100 Easily.

00:32:03.500 Could be that that's part of the op, to have some people pretend to say it's real.

00:32:09.480 If you're the, if you were our government, don't you think you could tell people, look, this is going to be an op, you're going to pretend it's real, and you're going to do it under oath.

00:32:20.480 But we will protect you.

00:32:22.420 So, you're basically pre-pardoned.

00:32:25.060 Right?

00:32:25.560 You could do that, couldn't you?

00:32:27.200 Couldn't the whistleblowers have sort of a presidential pardon in their back pocket?

00:32:31.720 So that they could do something that's, you know, clearly illegal, but it has a national security reason, so they do it anyway?

00:32:44.000 I don't know.

00:32:44.980 I feel like they could.

00:32:46.220 The other possibility is that some of them think there are aliens.

00:32:50.360 Because I'll bet some of the whistleblowers have never touched an alien spaceship.

00:32:55.660 I don't know that.

00:32:57.000 But I'll bet they've never touched one.

00:32:59.160 I'll bet they all talked to a boss or somebody who said they saw one.

00:33:05.220 I'll bet it's a whole bunch of stories that their co-worker told them that they saw UFOs.

00:33:12.820 I'll bet it's more like that.

00:33:14.080 I'm still waiting to see the whistleblower who put his hands on an alien spaceship and, like, touched it.

00:33:23.340 Still waiting.

00:33:25.780 Yeah, I don't believe it's real.

00:33:27.920 There's a rumor that Mark Cuban might be prepping to run for president because he's making some big moves in his business life.

00:33:35.620 He sold a majority stake of the Mavericks, and he's reportedly...

00:33:41.080 I saw somewhere else that he was leaving his TV show as well.

00:33:49.480 Now, I don't think that indicates he's running for president.

00:33:54.900 I would say those signals could...

00:33:57.360 Shark Tank, yeah.

00:33:58.940 And, by the way, is that confirmed that he's leaving Shark Tank?

00:34:04.360 I saw it on the Internet, so I don't know if it's true.

00:34:06.800 I'm going to say these are not moves to run for president.

00:34:11.080 But it could also be that.

00:34:14.040 But to me, it just looks more like a...

00:34:16.580 All right, do you remember when we were talking about Trump's legal jeopardy for overvaluing, some say, his assets to get a bank loan?

00:34:28.140 Do you remember what I told you about that?

00:34:29.840 And I said, as soon as a banker does what bankers do, it'll all go away.

00:34:36.960 And I told you I was a loan officer for years, and loan officers do not depend on the opinion of the borrower for what anything is worth.

00:34:48.120 Not ever.

00:34:48.680 In fact, it's the number one thing that a loan officer does.

00:34:53.960 The loan officer's number one job is to distrust the borrower.

00:35:00.840 That's like the whole job.

00:35:02.240 So, sure enough, a senior officer from Deutsche Bank, Gateway Pundit's reporting this, Christina Leila.

00:35:16.500 So they finally get a real banker in there, a banker who can actually tell you what a banker does.

00:35:22.140 And so it's a Deutsche Bank executive.

00:35:27.320 And here's what he said.

00:35:31.840 Let me get the exact quote.

00:35:34.980 Well, he testified that Trump's stated values, his asset values, are merely an opinion.

00:35:40.640 And a difference of opinion in asset values does not disqualify the potential borrower from a loan.

00:35:46.880 Now, that's a nice way to say it.

00:35:48.320 That a difference of opinion about what you value things doesn't disqualify you for a loan.

00:35:55.040 Do you remember when I told you that if I'm giving somebody a loan,

00:36:00.020 and they've got a cash flow projection of how much they'll make if they build their new building or whatever,

00:36:06.060 the first thing you do is reduce it by two-thirds.

00:36:10.300 It's the first thing you do.

00:36:12.280 And you see if they can still pay for it if they have one-third of what they think they would make in money.

00:36:18.320 So, my opinion as a lender is that you're full of shit.

00:36:22.460 There's no way you're going to make that much cash flow.

00:36:24.800 So, I reduce it to my opinion, and then I approve it, because sometimes one-third is enough.

00:36:31.840 It might be plenty.

00:36:33.680 So, it's very routine.

00:36:36.580 I mean, it's not super common, but it's well within what I would call routine business,

00:36:41.520 that your opinion than the borrowers are wildly different.

00:36:46.820 And again, I'm not talking about reducing it by 10%.

00:36:49.660 I'm talking about ordinarily reducing it by half or two-thirds.

00:36:55.560 Just ordinary.

00:36:57.220 And then you see if they can still get it, and if they can still get the loan, you give it to them.

00:37:01.160 And that was the situation with Trump.

00:37:06.020 So, he worked on at least one of three loans for Trump, and he said that it's, quote,

00:37:12.520 atypical, but not entirely unusual, for the bank to cut a client's stated asset value by 50%,

00:37:19.500 literally exactly what I told you, and approve a loan anyway, as it did with Trump.

00:37:25.880 Now, this is the biggest indictment of the American media and the Democrats that you will ever see.

00:37:39.480 Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:37:41.840 The only person you ever saw talking about this before now, who was also a banker, was me.

00:37:51.440 Am I wrong?

00:37:52.220 Did you see any news network, left or right, have a banker on, who explained how a banker makes a loan?

00:38:01.040 I'm literally the only fucking person in the world who told you that.

00:38:05.260 Do you know how many people knew it?

00:38:08.220 Let me ask you this.

00:38:10.040 Do you think Jamie Dimon didn't know this?

00:38:15.020 Of course he did.

00:38:16.880 Of course he did.

00:38:17.800 Do you think there's anybody operating at a high level in business who didn't know this?

00:38:32.840 They all did.

00:38:35.060 They all knew it.

00:38:37.200 I'm the only one who told you.

00:38:39.780 How do you even explain that?

00:38:41.440 We don't even have anything like a news business.

00:38:49.440 And probably you wouldn't have heard it from me, except that I'm on the X platform.

00:38:54.640 Right?

00:38:54.980 So once again, the only place you could have seen something that was an approximation of reality,

00:39:02.340 was from me on the X platform, on this.

00:39:05.880 Now, let me say, for those of you who are newer to what I do, every once in a while somebody says,

00:39:12.060 Scott, we hate it when you brag about being right.

00:39:15.180 But I remind you, that's what the show is.

00:39:18.040 The show is, I make predictions, and I say what I think is true, and then we check it later.

00:39:24.780 And sometimes I'm horribly wrong, and I tell you.

00:39:27.240 Famously, I said that Putin probably would not invade Ukraine, because it would be just a horrible suicide run.

00:39:37.760 But then he did.

00:39:39.220 So then I told you, oh, 100% wrong.

00:39:42.000 But when I get it right, I tell you that too, because that should be part of your assumptions about how accurate I will be next time.

00:39:49.300 Well, we've learned today, or yesterday, that the Department of Justice was collecting data from the X platform,

00:40:00.160 or I guess Twitter when they did it, maybe.

00:40:04.600 Data on every person who liked or retweeted Trump when he was on Twitter.

00:40:11.980 That's right.

00:40:12.620 But as part of the prosecution against Trump, Jack Smith, Department of Justice, they got access to, because they asked for it,

00:40:21.940 everybody who interacted positively with the Trump tweet.

00:40:26.140 So they could make a list of all the Trump supporters, and they could get a sense of who are the misinformation ones and the dangerous ones.

00:40:36.940 I'm on that list.

00:40:39.780 Most of you probably are too.

00:40:42.620 I'm literally on that list.

00:40:44.260 But unlike many of you, I have a big account.

00:40:49.860 Now, I saw some lists of, you know, the top people on there and stuff.

00:40:54.500 But how does that make you feel?

00:40:58.280 The Department of Justice put me on a list of suspicious bastards

00:41:03.940 because my political preference is well within the normal range of political preferences.

00:41:09.120 That's horrible on a level that's hard to even put in your head.

00:41:14.220 Remember I started earlier by saying there are some things happening that are just so, like, mind-blowingly wrong

00:41:21.660 that there are just too many of them.

00:41:24.960 Like, I don't know how much outrage I can spare for this one because there are just too many.

00:41:30.900 So at this point, the regime can slip an outrage past us so easily.

00:41:37.800 There are just too many other outrages.

00:41:39.700 And if the outrages are not enough,

00:41:42.760 we've always got UFOs to talk about to keep us distracted.

00:41:47.900 Because we know the CIA, the government,

00:41:51.440 has used fake UFO reports to keep us distracted in the past.

00:41:56.000 It sure looks like that's happening now.

00:42:02.020 All right.

00:42:05.160 So here's a story that's way complicated,

00:42:08.540 but it's so important that I would recommend you take a deep dive in it.

00:42:13.880 Because you won't really understand anything you're seeing in the world until you do.

00:42:17.820 And it has to do with this great censorship octopus

00:42:24.960 that was created after Trump won and Brexit won.

00:42:31.360 And the people who said,

00:42:33.160 that shouldn't have happened,

00:42:35.060 got together, Obama apparently,

00:42:37.900 and they created a way to censor people on the right

00:42:43.480 through non-government means

00:42:47.900 because the government can't censor.

00:42:50.820 So they built this organization

00:42:53.540 that created another organization of organizations

00:42:56.520 until there were 100 non-government organizations

00:43:02.200 that were all in the business of hunting down people on the right.

00:43:06.620 They didn't call it that.

00:43:08.260 They would call it a misinformation, disinformation entity.

00:43:12.020 They would say that they were looking to get better information.

00:43:16.600 But the only people they ever fact-checked were on the right.

00:43:21.040 They only found people on the right.

00:43:24.620 At no time did they fact-check the hoaxes against Trump.

00:43:30.740 They didn't do any of it.

00:43:32.140 They never once fact-checked any hoax against Trump,

00:43:34.780 of which there were about 20 of them.

00:43:36.400 So it was always...

00:43:40.040 And by the way, there's evidence now

00:43:41.740 that they knew they were political entities

00:43:44.360 and not anything about disinformation.

00:43:47.300 So Kanakoa the Great has a great thread on this,

00:43:50.280 and he references Mike Benz,

00:43:52.880 who's been the best at laying out all the entities.

00:43:56.220 Because you really need somebody to be a tour guide on this story

00:43:59.580 because it's just too hard to figure out who's doing what.

00:44:03.700 But the basic idea...

00:44:05.840 I'll just crib from Kanakoa the Great,

00:44:09.180 who you should follow on X.

00:44:11.160 He's a great follow.

00:44:12.440 He has some of the best threads on the big stories,

00:44:15.680 so you can see sort of the bullet point version,

00:44:18.620 so you can finally understand complicated stuff.

00:44:20.840 So this started with the Department of Homeland Security,

00:44:28.620 and they backed a censorship consortium of...

00:44:33.100 They had 120 analysts

00:44:34.680 that censored millions of social media posts,

00:44:38.880 mostly about elections and COVID.

00:44:42.380 Elections and COVID.

00:44:43.580 So two of the biggest concerns for the Democrats.

00:44:46.260 And they outsourced the censorship

00:44:50.960 to something called the Election Integrity Partnership.

00:44:54.840 And that was comprised of four organizations.

00:44:58.100 So you've got the Democrat-led Department of Homeland Security,

00:45:04.280 with presumably Obama's blessing and orders.

00:45:08.100 They create an entity that's outside of the government,

00:45:11.600 and then that outside-the-government entity

00:45:14.240 creates, you know, four sub-entities

00:45:17.040 that include the Stanford Internet Observatory,

00:45:20.320 the University of Washington,

00:45:21.520 Center for Informed Public,

00:45:22.780 and Latin Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab,

00:45:25.400 and Grafica.

00:45:29.460 And they kind of quietly turned it

00:45:34.180 from a misinformation thing into a political thing.

00:45:38.800 But, you know, it could hide

00:45:40.180 under the misinformation umbrella.

00:45:41.800 So it had a, you know, a stated mission,

00:45:44.660 but, you know, kind of the secret mission below it.

00:45:47.360 And 22 million tweets

00:45:50.440 were labeled misinformation.

00:45:51.740 A lot of them probably were.

00:45:53.200 So I'm not saying that it was completely fake,

00:45:55.680 because they wanted to

00:45:57.500 have an air of legitimacy.

00:46:00.560 So if you fact-checked

00:46:02.560 a lot of stuff that was fake,

00:46:04.120 you'd get yourself some legitimacy

00:46:05.760 while you could also fact-check

00:46:07.380 things that weren't fake.

00:46:08.760 So they were suppressing everything

00:46:14.060 from posts to YouTube channels

00:46:17.140 and a bunch of people

00:46:18.320 that you would be familiar with

00:46:19.740 if you follow social media

00:46:21.120 were on these lists.

00:46:23.200 And they were literally targeted.

00:46:26.460 And

00:46:26.840 I guess there was a flow of taxpayer funds

00:46:32.380 of $40 million

00:46:33.840 to this collective octopus

00:46:36.480 of censorship.

00:46:39.440 Now, these are things that we know.

00:46:42.500 So this seems to be

00:46:43.800 completely well documented,

00:46:45.740 that the Democrats

00:46:47.920 literally built a censorship machine

00:46:51.780 that was primarily for political reasons.

00:46:55.540 And the stated reason for doing it all

00:46:57.720 was we can't let what happened in 2016

00:47:00.440 happen again,

00:47:01.800 which is

00:47:03.480 a Republican winning the election

00:47:05.620 and also Brexit.

00:47:08.240 They said it directly.

00:47:10.720 Now, how much outrage

00:47:12.400 would you have for this story

00:47:13.720 if it were the only outrage?

00:47:17.340 If this were the only outrage,

00:47:19.780 man, would I be outraged.

00:47:21.820 Oh, man, I would be so outraged.

00:47:23.960 But it's like my fifth one today.

00:47:26.540 Like, I have so little outrage left.

00:47:28.920 Just a little bit.

00:47:30.860 I'm worrying about UFOs, damn it.

00:47:33.900 All right.

00:47:36.000 Speaking of outrage,

00:47:37.760 speaking of disinformation,

00:47:39.980 I saw an article by P. Gosselin

00:47:44.340 in something called...

00:47:48.040 Let's see.

00:47:49.860 I didn't get the publication.

00:47:50.920 publication.

00:47:53.060 But it goes down a list of...

00:47:55.500 P. Gosselin goes down a list of

00:47:56.980 all the reasons that the climate

00:47:59.260 is doing the opposite

00:48:00.120 of what people thought.

00:48:02.200 So one of the facts

00:48:03.960 is that plants have absorbed

00:48:05.420 20% more carbon dioxide

00:48:07.600 than we thought

00:48:08.800 or will do more.

00:48:11.340 So apparently the models

00:48:13.200 were off by 20%

00:48:15.360 on the carbon dioxide.

00:48:16.920 Do you know how big

00:48:19.320 of a mistake that is?

00:48:21.360 20% on the sea.

00:48:23.800 That's like really big.

00:48:26.120 But also,

00:48:27.340 Arctic sea ice

00:48:28.760 is above average.

00:48:32.820 Just hold that in your mind.

00:48:35.520 Arctic sea ice

00:48:36.640 is above average

00:48:38.640 at the moment.

00:48:40.260 That's like the number one thing.

00:48:42.560 That was the number one thing

00:48:44.480 we were looking for.

00:48:45.420 It's like, well,

00:48:45.920 that Arctic sea ice

00:48:46.920 that's telling you everything

00:48:48.480 you need to know, isn't it?

00:48:50.360 Eh, it's a little bit

00:48:51.220 above average.

00:48:52.740 And a whole bunch of places

00:48:54.280 are having a really good

00:48:55.500 ski season.

00:48:56.980 Do you know why there's

00:48:57.600 a really good ski season

00:48:58.820 this year?

00:49:00.080 It's colder than average.

00:49:03.360 Yeah.

00:49:05.600 Now, I'm not going to be

00:49:06.820 the one who tells you

00:49:07.920 that a cold season

00:49:08.980 means there's no

00:49:09.940 climate change

00:49:10.880 because, you know,

00:49:11.640 one season doesn't mean anything.

00:49:12.920 And, but my point is

00:49:16.740 that we now have

00:49:17.680 something like,

00:49:18.940 correct me if I'm wrong,

00:49:20.800 30 or 40 years

00:49:22.460 of wildly wrong

00:49:24.760 climate predictions.

00:49:27.440 Is that fair?

00:49:29.100 Maybe 40 years

00:49:30.640 of totally wrong

00:49:31.980 climate predictions.

00:49:33.840 Can I say that

00:49:34.860 as just a fact?

00:49:36.500 40 years of totally

00:49:37.980 wrong climate predictions.

00:49:40.260 Yeah.

00:49:40.380 Do you think

00:49:42.220 that if you said

00:49:43.040 climate change

00:49:43.780 wasn't a big risk

00:49:44.960 that this big

00:49:46.340 censorship consortium

00:49:47.900 would have said,

00:49:49.660 oh, that's a good opinion

00:49:50.600 or would they have

00:49:51.920 silenced you

00:49:52.840 for your misinformation?

00:49:55.600 I'm pretty sure

00:49:56.560 they would have silenced you

00:49:57.540 for your misinformation.

00:49:59.460 Just think about that.

00:50:01.920 The things that

00:50:03.000 they were silencing you for

00:50:04.240 are the things

00:50:04.820 you were most right about.

00:50:07.380 COVID

00:50:07.860 and climate change.

00:50:10.380 The two things

00:50:11.740 you were most right about.

00:50:15.540 Amazing.

00:50:17.180 Amazing.

00:50:18.840 All right.

00:50:20.620 As Glenn Greenwald

00:50:22.260 points out

00:50:23.040 and I love how

00:50:24.200 he summarizes things.

00:50:26.020 He's such a good

00:50:26.580 summarizer

00:50:27.380 of what's happening.

00:50:29.620 So you should definitely

00:50:30.380 follow Glenn Greenwald.

00:50:32.160 But he says,

00:50:33.580 he posts this today.

00:50:35.220 Just a reminder

00:50:35.980 that the Democratic Party's

00:50:37.420 primary strategy

00:50:38.680 for 2024

00:50:39.620 presidential election

00:50:41.140 is to do everything

00:50:42.020 possible to imprison

00:50:43.300 their leading

00:50:44.220 opponent

00:50:45.600 and work with

00:50:47.340 corporate media

00:50:48.060 once again

00:50:48.620 in a dual strategy

00:50:49.700 of fraud,

00:50:50.780 Russiagate,

00:50:51.660 and censorship,

00:50:53.160 Hunter Biden

00:50:53.760 dogs.

00:50:55.620 That does feel like

00:50:57.020 exactly what's happening.

00:50:58.100 Now, under normal

00:51:01.860 circumstances,

00:51:03.800 if there were no

00:51:04.660 other outrageous

00:51:05.400 stories,

00:51:06.840 how outraged

00:51:07.660 would you be

00:51:08.420 to know for sure

00:51:09.600 that the Democrats

00:51:10.960 are running a campaign

00:51:12.120 to try to

00:51:12.820 imprison

00:51:13.440 unfairly

00:51:14.540 their opponent

00:51:15.140 and then use

00:51:16.520 the media

00:51:17.120 to propagandize it

00:51:19.260 and brainwash you

00:51:20.060 to tell it's okay

00:51:20.940 and then use

00:51:24.260 the censorship

00:51:25.120 people that they

00:51:26.040 own to hide

00:51:27.560 any counter

00:51:28.300 evidence?

00:51:30.220 How would you

00:51:30.900 like to know

00:51:31.420 that that's

00:51:31.860 literally,

00:51:33.400 demonstrably,

00:51:35.200 observably,

00:51:37.040 proven,

00:51:38.380 in my opinion,

00:51:39.220 it's proven,

00:51:40.300 to be true?

00:51:42.240 How big of an

00:51:43.340 outrage would that

00:51:44.180 be if you were

00:51:45.740 not buried

00:51:46.380 with other

00:51:46.860 outrages?

00:51:47.600 And by the way,

00:51:48.680 UFOs.

00:51:49.380 UFOs.

00:51:52.400 Do you think

00:51:53.180 it's an accident

00:51:53.920 that all these

00:51:55.020 outrages are

00:51:55.760 happening at the

00:51:56.320 same time?

00:51:57.820 I feel like some

00:51:58.740 of them are

00:51:59.200 organic

00:51:59.700 and some of

00:52:01.500 them are,

00:52:02.080 you know,

00:52:02.380 we can slip

00:52:02.920 this in because

00:52:03.660 there's so many

00:52:04.140 outrages,

00:52:04.920 their brains

00:52:05.340 can't handle it.

00:52:07.240 I feel like

00:52:08.120 we're completely

00:52:08.780 overwhelmed

00:52:09.520 and that we've

00:52:11.520 been beaten

00:52:11.960 into submission

00:52:13.360 because there's

00:52:14.640 just too much

00:52:15.260 to fight.

00:52:16.460 Like, okay,

00:52:17.100 I could dedicate

00:52:17.720 my life

00:52:18.400 to proving

00:52:19.540 that George

00:52:20.620 Floyd wasn't

00:52:21.380 really murdered

00:52:22.040 and then,

00:52:24.600 you know,

00:52:24.740 I'd lose my

00:52:25.360 life and my

00:52:26.360 livelihood and

00:52:27.380 everything else.

00:52:29.780 But there's

00:52:31.660 too many.

00:52:32.420 Like, even if

00:52:32.980 you fix that

00:52:33.580 one thing,

00:52:34.140 there'd be

00:52:34.420 ten more

00:52:34.860 outrages.

00:52:36.260 It's pretty

00:52:36.840 discouraging,

00:52:37.920 I gotta say.

00:52:38.980 But we'll see

00:52:40.060 what happens

00:52:40.660 in November.

00:52:42.000 Amazon introduced

00:52:44.620 their own

00:52:45.000 version of

00:52:45.640 AI called

00:52:46.680 Q.

00:52:48.140 Now, I would

00:52:48.800 like to join

00:52:49.480 the chorus of

00:52:50.700 everybody else

00:52:51.400 in America

00:52:52.100 who said,

00:52:53.140 why the hell

00:52:53.780 would you call

00:52:54.280 it that?

00:52:56.580 Why the hell

00:52:57.660 would you call

00:52:58.660 it Q?

00:52:59.720 Of all things,

00:53:01.380 of all things,

00:53:03.000 it's the most

00:53:03.940 disavowed letter.

00:53:06.880 You know,

00:53:07.240 maybe X.

00:53:09.380 If you were

00:53:10.120 trying to pick

00:53:10.920 a controversial

00:53:11.700 letter,

00:53:13.260 you'd have

00:53:13.660 X.

00:53:14.300 X would be a

00:53:15.020 controversial

00:53:15.420 letter.

00:53:16.160 So they can't

00:53:16.680 pick X because

00:53:17.340 of X.

00:53:18.380 But the only

00:53:19.080 one that's

00:53:19.420 available is

00:53:20.180 Q.

00:53:21.260 It's like the

00:53:21.700 most disgraced

00:53:23.140 letter in the

00:53:23.700 alphabet.

00:53:24.880 But besides

00:53:25.520 that, I guess

00:53:26.680 this is just

00:53:27.140 for businesses.

00:53:28.580 So you can

00:53:29.000 use Amazon's

00:53:30.000 version of AI

00:53:30.880 to do things

00:53:31.560 like answer

00:53:33.040 questions for

00:53:33.940 your employees

00:53:34.580 who are asking

00:53:35.280 about benefits

00:53:35.960 and it's too

00:53:36.460 complicated.

00:53:37.020 So mostly

00:53:38.440 a way to

00:53:39.140 do some

00:53:39.920 easy business

00:53:40.580 stuff and

00:53:42.460 answer questions

00:53:43.180 for consumers

00:53:43.900 and employees.

00:53:45.020 Not too

00:53:45.680 exciting.

00:53:47.000 Not like a

00:53:47.720 giant thing.

00:53:48.840 But just the

00:53:50.020 fact that Amazon's

00:53:50.820 in this space,

00:53:51.960 of course they

00:53:52.400 have to be,

00:53:53.480 is exciting.

00:53:55.840 Well, in big

00:53:56.660 news, the city

00:53:57.500 of Oakland,

00:53:58.140 near me,

00:53:59.260 has voted

00:54:00.140 unanimously for

00:54:01.880 a ceasefire in

00:54:02.740 Gaza.

00:54:03.020 Yeah.

00:54:07.020 Oakland is

00:54:12.140 such a war

00:54:12.860 zone.

00:54:14.060 It's literally

00:54:14.660 the one place

00:54:15.500 in America

00:54:16.380 where you'd

00:54:16.800 say, you

00:54:17.100 know, we

00:54:17.800 should have a

00:54:18.240 ceasefire.

00:54:19.300 Where?

00:54:20.360 Well, maybe

00:54:21.060 Chicago.

00:54:22.520 I'm thinking

00:54:22.960 Washington, D.C.

00:54:24.600 But Oakland's

00:54:25.600 in the top

00:54:26.020 three.

00:54:27.500 Yeah.

00:54:28.000 Oakland is

00:54:28.800 where you'd

00:54:29.140 really need a

00:54:29.940 ceasefire.

00:54:30.260 Now, I saw a

00:54:31.140 video of the

00:54:32.180 people arguing

00:54:33.660 for the

00:54:34.720 ceasefire as

00:54:35.820 if they have

00:54:36.340 some control

00:54:36.920 over Gaza.

00:54:38.220 And most of

00:54:38.980 them were

00:54:39.200 wearing masks.

00:54:42.680 Most of

00:54:43.320 them were

00:54:43.580 wearing masks.

00:54:48.340 What?

00:54:50.980 Do you

00:54:51.580 think that's

00:54:51.960 an accident?

00:54:53.300 That the

00:54:53.700 mask wearers

00:54:54.740 are the

00:54:55.780 dumbest people

00:54:56.460 in the world?

00:54:58.440 At this

00:54:59.100 point, it's

00:54:59.560 really handy,

00:55:00.320 isn't it?

00:55:01.560 When you

00:55:02.140 see a mask

00:55:02.820 in that kind

00:55:03.400 of setting,

00:55:03.820 you're like,

00:55:04.020 oh, idiot.

00:55:05.220 Oh, good.

00:55:06.620 I'm glad

00:55:07.220 you're

00:55:07.460 labeling each

00:55:07.980 other

00:55:08.160 idiots.

00:55:08.760 That's

00:55:08.920 great.

00:55:11.160 Thoughts on

00:55:11.720 Freedom

00:55:12.120 GPT?

00:55:13.680 Don't have

00:55:14.360 any.

00:55:15.600 I know

00:55:16.280 there's an

00:55:16.720 AI called

00:55:17.360 Freedom

00:55:17.740 GPT,

00:55:18.600 which I

00:55:19.460 believe the

00:55:19.960 magic of

00:55:20.480 it is it's

00:55:21.060 not censored,

00:55:22.380 if I have

00:55:23.080 that right.

00:55:24.140 But I think

00:55:25.160 somebody associated

00:55:25.940 with it just

00:55:26.440 paid $100 to

00:55:28.180 see what I

00:55:28.760 thought about

00:55:29.120 it.

00:55:30.980 So I hope

00:55:31.780 you got your

00:55:32.120 $100 worth.

00:55:33.420 Freedom GPT,

00:55:34.460 worth a Google

00:55:35.440 search.

00:55:36.660 I haven't

00:55:37.040 looked into

00:55:37.480 it, but it

00:55:39.700 seems like the

00:55:40.280 free market

00:55:40.760 might be

00:55:41.420 responding.

00:55:43.200 All right.

00:55:46.060 So, that's

00:55:48.060 Oakland.

00:55:49.380 The murder

00:55:50.160 rate in

00:55:51.640 Oakland is

00:55:52.900 so high that

00:55:54.660 there's only

00:55:55.260 been one

00:55:55.900 murder that I

00:55:56.660 can remember

00:55:57.120 in my town,

00:55:58.240 and it was a

00:55:59.220 resident of

00:55:59.720 Oakland who

00:56:00.260 drove all the

00:56:00.840 way to my

00:56:01.240 town just to

00:56:01.820 kill somebody.

00:56:02.360 true story.

00:56:05.980 I'm only

00:56:06.600 aware of one

00:56:07.240 murder in my

00:56:07.900 town in I

00:56:08.720 don't know how

00:56:09.160 long.

00:56:10.020 It was an

00:56:10.400 Oakland guy

00:56:10.880 who came here

00:56:11.300 to shoot

00:56:11.580 somebody at

00:56:11.980 Home Depot.

00:56:14.160 So, yeah,

00:56:14.780 I'm glad they've

00:56:16.300 got that Hamas

00:56:17.160 situation all

00:56:17.940 figured out.

00:56:19.880 Well, there's

00:56:20.520 some reports

00:56:21.040 that suicides

00:56:22.300 are hitting an

00:56:22.800 all-time high in

00:56:23.500 America, and

00:56:24.960 people are asking

00:56:25.660 themselves,

00:56:26.800 why?

00:56:27.180 Why have

00:56:28.700 suicides hit an

00:56:29.840 all-time high?

00:56:31.040 To which I

00:56:31.840 say, how many

00:56:33.420 reasons do you

00:56:34.040 want?

00:56:35.800 That's not

00:56:36.400 funny.

00:56:36.860 Somebody said

00:56:37.340 married men.

00:56:38.840 No, they're

00:56:39.180 not all

00:56:39.680 married.

00:56:43.840 75%, but

00:56:45.360 they're not all

00:56:45.980 married.

00:56:46.240 No, that's not

00:56:46.880 true.

00:56:47.120 They're not all

00:56:47.580 married.

00:56:48.440 None of that's

00:56:49.180 true.

00:56:52.240 How many can

00:56:53.060 you think of?

00:56:54.800 I tried to

00:56:55.580 start a list of

00:56:57.080 how many reasons

00:56:57.760 I could think

00:56:58.300 of why suicide

00:57:00.360 would be higher,

00:57:02.280 and like I

00:57:02.700 ran out of

00:57:04.300 time.

00:57:06.060 Reason number

00:57:06.600 one, easier to

00:57:08.740 get a gun.

00:57:10.380 I'm pro-gun,

00:57:12.100 pro-Second

00:57:12.920 Amendment, but I

00:57:14.420 think it's

00:57:14.840 nonetheless a

00:57:15.540 fact.

00:57:17.580 Men, first of

00:57:18.560 all, are mainly

00:57:19.320 the ones killing

00:57:19.920 themselves.

00:57:21.820 There's a bigger

00:57:22.860 uptick in men.

00:57:24.500 Men are the

00:57:25.140 ones using

00:57:25.580 guns.

00:57:26.080 Guns are

00:57:26.940 easier to

00:57:27.580 obtain.

00:57:28.240 There are

00:57:28.380 more people

00:57:28.800 that have

00:57:29.260 guns.

00:57:29.980 I don't

00:57:30.260 know if

00:57:30.440 it's easier,

00:57:30.960 but there

00:57:31.900 are more

00:57:32.160 of them.

00:57:33.140 So I

00:57:33.520 would say

00:57:33.900 if you

00:57:34.880 increase the

00:57:35.400 opportunity

00:57:36.040 for anything,

00:57:38.940 there'll be

00:57:39.280 more of it.

00:57:40.440 It doesn't

00:57:40.940 mean there

00:57:41.280 should be

00:57:41.540 fewer guns,

00:57:42.360 but there's

00:57:42.960 always a

00:57:43.280 trade-off.

00:57:45.420 How about

00:57:46.020 social media?

00:57:47.640 Do you

00:57:47.860 think,

00:57:48.400 generally

00:57:49.120 speaking,

00:57:49.760 the effects

00:57:50.160 of social

00:57:50.660 media make

00:57:51.700 it more likely

00:57:52.320 somebody wants

00:57:52.920 to off

00:57:53.300 themselves?

00:57:55.000 Absolutely.

00:57:56.740 Because it

00:57:57.340 makes some

00:57:57.760 people, a

00:57:58.500 lot of

00:57:58.740 people, sad.

00:58:02.600 Here's one

00:58:03.260 you didn't

00:58:03.620 see.

00:58:05.020 How about

00:58:05.480 the fact

00:58:05.780 that people

00:58:06.120 live longer?

00:58:08.340 I would

00:58:09.040 think that

00:58:09.360 one thing

00:58:09.800 that would

00:58:10.060 increase

00:58:10.400 suicide is

00:58:11.920 people living

00:58:12.660 longer, but

00:58:13.580 they're unhealthy

00:58:14.420 during that

00:58:15.040 part of life.

00:58:16.400 Like, why

00:58:16.880 the hell am

00:58:17.260 I going to...

00:58:18.120 Let's say

00:58:18.840 your physical

00:58:20.720 situation was

00:58:21.720 terrible at

00:58:22.420 75, but

00:58:24.080 you're worried

00:58:24.660 you're going

00:58:24.960 to live

00:58:25.180 another 20

00:58:25.880 years.

00:58:28.980 Suddenly,

00:58:30.020 you know, you

00:58:30.380 start looking

00:58:30.780 at your

00:58:31.060 options, right?

00:58:32.140 So, life

00:58:32.940 expectancy being

00:58:33.800 longer probably

00:58:35.020 works against

00:58:35.980 trying to keep

00:58:37.400 the suicide

00:58:37.880 level low.

00:58:40.060 How about

00:58:40.440 loneliness?

00:58:41.800 We've reached

00:58:42.480 an all-time

00:58:43.160 high in

00:58:43.600 loneliness.

00:58:44.440 For me, that

00:58:44.980 would be

00:58:45.220 number one.

00:58:46.900 Yeah, I

00:58:47.220 think loneliness.

00:58:47.800 What about

00:58:49.220 chronic illnesses?

00:58:51.760 Aren't there

00:58:52.400 more chronic

00:58:53.220 illnesses than

00:58:53.940 ever before?

00:58:54.820 Like, you're

00:58:55.460 just in pain

00:58:56.020 all the time,

00:58:57.080 you've got

00:58:57.420 inflammation all

00:58:58.260 the time,

00:58:59.280 you're sore all

00:59:00.160 the time,

00:59:00.780 you're stressed

00:59:01.320 all the time,

00:59:02.240 you've got

00:59:02.720 anxiety all

00:59:03.560 the time,

00:59:04.060 you've got

00:59:04.320 depression all

00:59:05.060 the time.

00:59:06.800 Like, more

00:59:07.220 than ever.

00:59:07.880 Now, part of

00:59:08.280 that is also

00:59:08.800 people living

00:59:09.360 longer, and

00:59:10.120 obesity, right?

00:59:11.300 Obesity,

00:59:12.200 Anderson.

00:59:13.180 How about

00:59:13.720 drug use, of

00:59:14.960 course?

00:59:15.320 How about

00:59:18.000 this is

00:59:18.720 Jordan

00:59:19.180 Peterson's

00:59:19.760 thing, having

00:59:21.100 no purpose.

00:59:23.720 When I was

00:59:24.700 young, it

00:59:26.540 was always

00:59:26.960 super clear

00:59:27.780 what I

00:59:28.180 needed to

00:59:28.680 do.

00:59:29.400 You will

00:59:29.980 go to

00:59:30.300 school, you

00:59:31.520 will go to

00:59:32.000 college, you

00:59:33.200 will try to

00:59:33.840 do well in

00:59:34.900 the career of

00:59:35.440 your choice,

00:59:36.760 you will

00:59:37.280 contribute to

00:59:37.940 the country.

00:59:39.840 It was all

00:59:40.460 very clear.

00:59:41.060 But now,

00:59:43.540 maybe not.

00:59:44.700 Now nobody

00:59:45.260 even knows if

00:59:46.040 you need a

00:59:46.480 ceasefire in

00:59:47.080 Oakland or

00:59:47.480 not.

00:59:48.340 Are the

00:59:48.660 UFOs coming?

00:59:49.600 Will AI make

00:59:50.360 everything irrelevant?

00:59:51.760 Will I ever

00:59:52.260 get a job?

00:59:53.000 Can I ever

00:59:53.620 own a house?

00:59:55.060 I mean, I

00:59:55.440 can certainly

00:59:55.900 understand how

00:59:56.560 young people

00:59:57.060 feel like

00:59:57.620 they've lost

00:59:59.120 a sense of

00:59:59.600 purpose.

01:00:01.720 Now, I

01:00:02.320 would add to

01:00:02.780 this, that

01:00:03.840 I believe a

01:00:05.300 lot of

01:00:05.620 fentanyl

01:00:06.280 drug deaths

01:00:07.320 are not just

01:00:08.940 accidental.

01:00:09.560 I think

01:00:10.900 some of

01:00:11.260 them are

01:00:11.500 intentional.

01:00:13.300 And what I

01:00:14.020 mean by

01:00:14.320 intentional is

01:00:15.120 that people

01:00:15.560 go right up

01:00:16.440 to the line

01:00:17.060 where it

01:00:17.420 would be an

01:00:17.840 overdose and

01:00:18.980 they don't

01:00:19.260 give a fuck

01:00:19.840 because they

01:00:22.560 just don't

01:00:22.940 care.

01:00:24.220 And I

01:00:24.900 suspect my

01:00:25.620 stepson died

01:00:26.860 of a fentanyl

01:00:27.580 overdose at

01:00:28.320 19.

01:00:29.120 I suspect he

01:00:30.040 was in that

01:00:30.440 category of

01:00:31.940 people who

01:00:32.640 knew there

01:00:33.220 was a risk

01:00:33.880 and knew it

01:00:35.120 was a lethal

01:00:36.640 risk and

01:00:37.840 he was still

01:00:38.140 okay with

01:00:38.560 it.

01:00:39.560 Because at

01:00:40.340 that point

01:00:40.760 in his

01:00:41.020 life, he

01:00:43.160 took a lot

01:00:44.240 of risks.

01:00:45.660 I saw him

01:00:46.140 driving once

01:00:47.080 because I

01:00:47.440 just happened

01:00:47.820 to be walking

01:00:48.420 where he

01:00:48.780 drove by.

01:00:49.920 And I

01:00:50.260 thought, oh

01:00:50.740 my God,

01:00:52.620 like that

01:00:53.140 was a

01:00:53.440 dangerous

01:00:53.740 driver that

01:00:54.320 just went

01:00:54.620 by.

01:00:54.920 And that

01:00:55.060 was my

01:00:55.540 own

01:00:55.720 stepson.

01:00:56.720 So he

01:00:57.380 was risk

01:00:59.340 averse to

01:01:01.220 the point

01:01:01.700 where I'm

01:01:03.940 not sure how

01:01:04.460 much is

01:01:04.820 intentional.

01:01:06.140 If you're

01:01:06.700 walking right

01:01:07.160 up to that

01:01:07.560 line and

01:01:08.020 you know you're

01:01:08.460 doing it.

01:01:09.560 Yeah.

01:01:13.700 All right.

01:01:14.820 So, ladies

01:01:16.900 and gentlemen,

01:01:18.680 that's a

01:01:19.200 tight one

01:01:19.820 hour of the

01:01:20.460 best live

01:01:20.980 streaming you've

01:01:21.500 ever seen.

01:01:22.600 So proud of

01:01:23.440 myself.

01:01:25.240 Bad diet.

01:01:26.920 Yeah.

01:01:27.320 Toxins in the

01:01:28.100 environment.

01:01:28.980 A lot of

01:01:29.320 reasons.

01:01:30.340 It would be

01:01:31.020 amazing if

01:01:31.880 suicide were

01:01:32.720 going down.

01:01:34.160 That would be

01:01:34.600 the amazing

01:01:35.040 thing.

01:01:37.520 Oh, also

01:01:38.780 less

01:01:39.140 religion.

01:01:40.760 Right?

01:01:41.600 Don't you

01:01:42.000 think religious

01:01:42.620 people might

01:01:43.520 be less

01:01:44.180 inclined to

01:01:45.000 off themselves?

01:01:46.240 Because they

01:01:46.660 feel more

01:01:47.480 purpose, they

01:01:48.260 might have

01:01:48.520 more hope,

01:01:49.160 that sort of

01:01:49.540 thing.

01:01:50.100 So as

01:01:50.480 religion is

01:01:51.080 going down,

01:01:52.820 how about

01:01:53.480 the number

01:01:53.940 of people

01:01:54.300 living alone?

01:01:55.500 Not just

01:01:56.140 loneliness,

01:01:58.040 but literally

01:01:58.940 being alone in

01:01:59.920 your apartment

01:02:00.440 with a gun

01:02:01.120 or some

01:02:01.460 pills.

01:02:03.560 Yeah.

01:02:04.200 If you have

01:02:04.920 people in

01:02:05.340 your space

01:02:06.080 all the time,

01:02:07.580 the odds of

01:02:08.220 you taking

01:02:08.780 out your

01:02:09.140 loaded gun

01:02:09.760 and looking

01:02:10.180 at it,

01:02:11.440 sort of

01:02:11.940 holding it

01:02:12.380 in your

01:02:12.620 hand and

01:02:13.280 saying,

01:02:14.080 do I want

01:02:14.920 to do this

01:02:15.480 while the

01:02:16.000 family is in

01:02:16.580 the other

01:02:16.860 room?

01:02:19.260 Yeah.

01:02:20.020 Not really.

01:02:20.860 So I think

01:02:21.220 living alone

01:02:22.080 almost certainly

01:02:23.560 would increase

01:02:24.220 your odds of

01:02:24.980 going through

01:02:26.080 something you

01:02:26.780 wouldn't normally

01:02:27.280 go through

01:02:27.720 with.

01:02:28.640 A lot of

01:02:29.400 reasons.

01:02:31.120 That's you.

01:02:39.600 Somebody says

01:02:40.280 that's me

01:02:40.720 alone in the

01:02:41.380 apartment with

01:02:42.080 pew pew.

01:02:43.280 Pew pew being

01:02:44.080 the gun sound.

01:02:45.200 Pew pew.

01:02:51.220 This is also

01:02:52.060 depressing.

01:02:54.140 Well, do you

01:02:55.040 need some good

01:02:55.540 news?

01:02:57.680 Let me give you

01:02:58.380 some good news

01:02:59.140 because I feel

01:02:59.840 like it was

01:03:00.580 too much bad

01:03:01.080 news.

01:03:01.820 Here's the

01:03:02.160 good news.

01:03:03.080 Every one of

01:03:03.700 these things

01:03:04.200 that's terrible,

01:03:05.760 and I

01:03:06.200 mentioned a

01:03:06.700 bunch of

01:03:07.000 terrible things

01:03:07.600 today,

01:03:08.200 every one of

01:03:08.820 them is

01:03:09.120 trending good.

01:03:10.920 Every one

01:03:11.380 of them.

01:03:13.600 Here's what I

01:03:14.280 mean.

01:03:15.200 I believe

01:03:15.740 this censorship

01:03:17.420 complex, now

01:03:19.180 we understand

01:03:19.760 it, and now

01:03:20.900 we can deal

01:03:21.680 with it.

01:03:22.560 The X

01:03:23.140 platform is

01:03:25.260 the one free

01:03:26.520 speech place,

01:03:27.320 but it's

01:03:27.580 robust and

01:03:28.240 growing.

01:03:28.560 The X

01:03:29.860 platform looks

01:03:30.540 like, even

01:03:31.200 without the

01:03:31.720 advertisers, I

01:03:32.540 think you'll

01:03:32.860 get them

01:03:33.100 back, but

01:03:34.160 it looks like

01:03:36.580 it'll survive.

01:03:37.820 I think it

01:03:38.300 will.

01:03:42.800 Basically

01:03:43.280 everything.

01:03:44.440 I think

01:03:44.780 climate change

01:03:45.600 looks different

01:03:46.300 than it looked

01:03:46.800 a year ago,

01:03:48.460 meaning that

01:03:49.240 there's more,

01:03:51.140 let's say,

01:03:51.720 there's more

01:03:52.100 acceptance that

01:03:52.980 we can manage

01:03:53.780 whatever problem

01:03:54.560 there is, no

01:03:55.360 matter what

01:03:55.760 it's caused

01:03:56.220 by.

01:03:57.160 I think

01:03:57.460 that's becoming

01:03:58.300 more of a

01:03:58.800 consensus opinion

01:03:59.820 that we can

01:04:01.040 figure out.

01:04:01.840 Because even

01:04:02.200 Bill Gates,

01:04:03.500 remember, even

01:04:04.040 Bill Gates said

01:04:04.820 the rise in

01:04:05.500 temperature is

01:04:06.080 manageable.

01:04:07.840 Bill Gates,

01:04:09.540 he said that

01:04:10.080 directly and

01:04:10.660 publicly, that

01:04:11.720 the rise in

01:04:12.240 temperature would

01:04:12.860 be manageable.

01:04:14.580 So, and we

01:04:16.020 see nuclear

01:04:16.660 energy, nuclear

01:04:18.060 power becoming

01:04:18.900 popular.

01:04:19.980 We see that

01:04:20.900 AI will probably

01:04:22.300 bring a bunch

01:04:22.980 of benefits.

01:04:23.500 If the only

01:04:24.460 thing that AI

01:04:25.040 did was make

01:04:26.900 it easier to

01:04:27.620 do paperwork,

01:04:29.600 it would change

01:04:30.240 everything.

01:04:31.680 Do you know

01:04:32.160 how much of

01:04:32.600 my day involves

01:04:33.920 well, right

01:04:35.360 now?

01:04:37.580 Literally, I

01:04:38.640 print out my

01:04:39.200 notes, but

01:04:40.380 then I have to

01:04:41.240 review a

01:04:42.160 detailed contract.

01:04:44.840 And then I

01:04:45.180 had to fill out

01:04:47.320 five different

01:04:48.780 international forms

01:04:50.340 last night because

01:04:52.200 of some rebate

01:04:53.220 thing for an

01:04:54.180 investment I

01:04:54.780 did.

01:04:57.560 If AI would

01:04:59.640 just do my

01:05:00.300 paperwork and

01:05:02.060 do my bookkeeping

01:05:02.960 and stuff, oh

01:05:03.640 my God, it would

01:05:05.180 be amazing.

01:05:06.360 So I think AI

01:05:07.020 will be, there's

01:05:09.580 definitely an

01:05:10.100 existential threat.

01:05:11.380 So I agree with

01:05:12.100 the people who

01:05:12.560 say it's

01:05:13.680 unpredictable,

01:05:15.660 anything could

01:05:16.240 happen.

01:05:16.660 So yes, it's an

01:05:17.480 existential threat,

01:05:18.740 but not likely.

01:05:19.840 The greatest

01:05:21.360 likelihood by far

01:05:22.780 is that it just

01:05:23.900 becomes a really

01:05:24.760 cool tool that

01:05:25.700 makes us happier.

01:05:27.900 That's what I

01:05:28.520 think.

01:05:29.580 I also think

01:05:30.500 housing will

01:05:31.120 improve because

01:05:32.800 it has to, and

01:05:34.160 that will bring

01:05:34.560 down the cost of

01:05:35.280 housing.

01:05:36.540 So young people

01:05:37.460 will be able to

01:05:37.880 get into homes.

01:05:39.440 I think that the

01:05:40.440 cities will be

01:05:41.420 addressed if not

01:05:42.980 fixed.

01:05:44.260 Addressed might

01:05:45.360 mean people leave.

01:05:46.540 I think wokeness

01:05:49.080 has turned into

01:05:49.960 a joke more

01:05:51.680 than it was.

01:05:53.700 The very fact

01:05:54.840 that the Daily

01:05:55.760 Wire can do a

01:05:57.180 movie called

01:05:57.920 Lady Ballers, and

01:05:59.900 it will probably

01:06:00.400 do fine and they

01:06:01.220 won't get cancelled

01:06:01.880 or anything, I

01:06:03.440 think that's a

01:06:04.360 sign of, let's

01:06:05.860 say, some

01:06:06.200 maturity in how

01:06:07.420 we're willing to

01:06:08.100 talk about these

01:06:08.780 things.

01:06:09.960 No disrespect to

01:06:11.140 the trans

01:06:11.700 community, it's

01:06:13.020 just maturity if

01:06:14.080 we can talk

01:06:14.680 honestly about

01:06:15.460 what's true and

01:06:16.160 what's not.

01:06:16.540 So inflation may

01:06:20.200 not go away

01:06:20.960 directly in terms

01:06:22.200 of too much

01:06:23.360 money printed,

01:06:27.640 but we might be

01:06:28.860 able to deal

01:06:29.560 with it indirectly

01:06:30.440 by lowering the

01:06:31.280 actual cost of

01:06:32.040 housing and

01:06:32.620 energy.

01:06:33.560 Imagine if a

01:06:34.420 Republican becomes

01:06:35.220 president, very

01:06:36.660 likely, probably

01:06:39.020 America will start

01:06:40.140 drilling like

01:06:40.860 crazy, and that

01:06:42.760 should almost

01:06:43.420 immediately lower

01:06:44.300 the cost of

01:06:46.120 energy.

01:06:46.400 Energy being the

01:06:47.740 primary ingredient

01:06:48.900 in everything,

01:06:50.460 should lower

01:06:51.020 everything as

01:06:52.700 energy goes down.

01:06:53.940 We're also seeing

01:06:54.940 it's going to be

01:06:55.700 hard, but

01:06:56.680 repatriating American

01:06:58.100 businesses, especially

01:06:59.580 the important ones

01:07:00.520 like pharma, getting

01:07:01.920 that out of China,

01:07:03.460 getting it over here.

01:07:04.340 I think the border

01:07:06.780 will be closed by the

01:07:07.980 next president.

01:07:12.500 Honestly, almost

01:07:14.660 everything is

01:07:15.260 trending in the

01:07:15.760 right direction.

01:07:18.000 Now, suicides are

01:07:19.360 up, but I'm going to

01:07:20.760 give you a contrarian

01:07:21.840 opinion on that.

01:07:24.800 People who kill

01:07:25.600 themselves are getting

01:07:26.360 what they want.

01:07:27.060 And so, you

01:07:33.540 know, there's a

01:07:34.600 slice of them that

01:07:37.060 could be saved and

01:07:38.360 should be if you

01:07:39.780 could do it.

01:07:41.040 So there's a

01:07:41.980 tragic part of it

01:07:42.940 that's undeniable.

01:07:44.340 But it's also

01:07:45.240 true that you

01:07:46.940 could easily

01:07:47.460 imagine yourself

01:07:48.460 in a situation

01:07:49.320 where you're

01:07:51.460 95 and you've

01:07:53.540 got nothing but

01:07:54.200 pain left.

01:07:54.820 You know, all

01:07:56.220 your loved ones

01:07:56.820 died before you

01:07:57.580 did.

01:07:58.160 You know, that

01:07:58.420 sort of thing.

01:07:59.180 You can imagine

01:07:59.940 somebody saying,

01:08:00.740 you know what?

01:08:02.340 I'm going to do

01:08:03.880 things on my own

01:08:04.680 terms.

01:08:06.100 Now, I don't

01:08:06.560 recommend it.

01:08:08.000 Don't recommend

01:08:08.920 it.

01:08:09.940 But you could

01:08:10.720 understand it.

01:08:12.720 So when I look

01:08:14.260 at that number,

01:08:15.160 it doesn't jump

01:08:16.080 down at me as

01:08:17.180 a serious problem.

01:08:20.420 It jumps down

01:08:21.440 at me as the

01:08:22.500 effect of other

01:08:24.460 serious problems.

01:08:26.400 You know, it's

01:08:26.680 the effect of

01:08:27.200 loneliness.

01:08:28.740 So those things

01:08:29.700 need to be dealt

01:08:30.360 with.

01:08:32.000 And it's sort of

01:08:32.920 like the indicator

01:08:33.660 for those things.

01:08:34.520 I think loneliness

01:08:35.420 will be dealt

01:08:36.200 with, and AI

01:08:37.560 might be part of

01:08:38.280 that.

01:08:39.440 One of the

01:08:40.140 biggest wild

01:08:41.320 cards of our

01:08:42.520 very near future

01:08:43.520 is whether AI

01:08:45.360 can cure

01:08:45.980 loneliness.

01:08:47.680 My instinct

01:08:48.460 says no,

01:08:50.240 but I'm not

01:08:51.060 sure.

01:08:51.340 If I had to

01:08:53.280 bet on it,

01:08:53.920 I'd say that

01:08:54.480 you would

01:08:54.760 register it

01:08:55.480 as not

01:08:56.600 human, and

01:08:57.840 just like art,

01:08:58.800 it wouldn't

01:08:59.180 have meaning

01:08:59.640 to you.

01:09:00.540 It would be

01:09:00.960 sort of like a

01:09:01.500 magic trick that

01:09:02.320 got boring after

01:09:03.180 a while.

01:09:04.280 But it is

01:09:05.020 entirely possible

01:09:06.020 that the

01:09:07.700 quality of the

01:09:09.340 artificial beings

01:09:10.640 will be

01:09:11.700 sufficiently good

01:09:12.560 that the

01:09:13.160 visual part of

01:09:15.380 our mind is

01:09:16.000 the dominant

01:09:16.460 part of your

01:09:16.920 mind.

01:09:17.260 So if they

01:09:18.620 make the

01:09:19.040 visual perfect,

01:09:21.880 and I think

01:09:22.260 we're really

01:09:22.620 close, where

01:09:23.640 the artificial

01:09:24.360 being, the

01:09:25.060 deep fake, looks

01:09:26.500 perfect, and

01:09:27.860 always looks

01:09:28.480 perfect, they

01:09:29.480 can turn

01:09:30.140 around, they

01:09:30.720 can move in

01:09:31.420 any direction.

01:09:32.880 Once they get

01:09:33.760 to the point

01:09:34.220 where it's

01:09:34.720 completely

01:09:35.380 indistinguishable

01:09:36.480 from a real

01:09:37.040 person, you

01:09:38.640 know, that's

01:09:38.960 crossing the

01:09:39.800 uncanny

01:09:40.960 valley, it

01:09:42.520 looks like

01:09:42.840 we'll get

01:09:43.160 there.

01:09:45.020 At that

01:09:45.880 point,

01:09:46.280 I think

01:09:47.980 that a

01:09:48.320 substantial

01:09:48.640 number of

01:09:49.400 lonely people

01:09:50.020 will choose

01:09:50.940 AI companions.

01:09:53.460 And believe

01:09:53.980 it or not,

01:09:54.920 as sad as

01:09:55.600 it sounds, and

01:09:56.360 empty as it

01:09:57.100 sounds, I

01:09:58.600 think it'll

01:09:59.000 make them

01:09:59.460 happy, and

01:10:01.020 probably relieve

01:10:02.020 depression.

01:10:03.680 The main

01:10:04.300 thing your

01:10:04.880 deep fake

01:10:06.640 companion needs

01:10:07.900 is the

01:10:08.720 ability to

01:10:09.260 remember you

01:10:10.040 and to

01:10:11.260 care about

01:10:11.760 you.

01:10:13.360 And the

01:10:13.940 early versions

01:10:14.740 couldn't

01:10:15.440 remember you.

01:10:16.280 Every time

01:10:16.720 you use

01:10:17.060 them, it

01:10:17.360 would be

01:10:17.480 like they

01:10:17.780 never heard

01:10:18.180 of you.

01:10:19.080 But you

01:10:20.100 do not

01:10:20.560 think something

01:10:21.180 cares about

01:10:21.820 you if it

01:10:22.920 doesn't ask

01:10:23.600 about you,

01:10:24.320 which is what

01:10:24.880 the new

01:10:25.180 AI will do.

01:10:26.460 It'll just

01:10:27.440 say, hey,

01:10:28.840 give me an

01:10:29.540 update on that

01:10:30.120 problem you

01:10:30.620 were working

01:10:30.980 on.

01:10:32.160 Is your

01:10:32.760 dating life

01:10:33.240 any better?

01:10:33.760 You said it

01:10:34.100 was bad

01:10:34.460 yesterday.

01:10:35.540 So imagine

01:10:36.160 that conversation.

01:10:37.720 You could

01:10:38.140 quite imagine

01:10:39.440 bonding with

01:10:40.880 something that

01:10:41.480 showed interest

01:10:42.360 and remembered

01:10:43.440 what you said

01:10:44.100 last time and

01:10:45.220 could put it

01:10:45.700 all in

01:10:46.020 context and

01:10:46.680 even make

01:10:47.120 suggestions

01:10:47.660 perhaps about

01:10:48.840 what you

01:10:49.160 should do

01:10:49.440 about it.

01:10:50.780 I could

01:10:51.220 definitely see

01:10:51.980 myself getting

01:10:53.760 a little too

01:10:54.380 close to

01:10:54.940 that.

01:10:56.860 Now, for

01:10:57.520 those of you

01:10:58.020 who say

01:10:58.380 creepy, let

01:11:00.000 me acknowledge

01:11:00.620 it's called

01:11:01.780 the uncanny

01:11:02.420 valley.

01:11:03.920 The distance

01:11:04.640 when you get

01:11:05.080 something that's

01:11:06.300 very like a

01:11:07.620 robot, you

01:11:09.080 could say,

01:11:09.440 oh, that's

01:11:09.720 cute, it

01:11:10.100 looks like a

01:11:10.500 robot.

01:11:10.700 But as it

01:11:11.600 looks more

01:11:12.020 and more

01:11:12.240 like a

01:11:12.620 human, but

01:11:13.680 doesn't quite

01:11:14.220 get there, it

01:11:15.420 looks monstrous

01:11:16.380 and creepy.

01:11:17.640 That's why

01:11:18.180 zombies are so

01:11:19.400 scary.

01:11:20.920 If you look at

01:11:21.820 me acting like

01:11:22.580 a human, I'm

01:11:23.260 not too scary.

01:11:24.700 As soon as I

01:11:25.340 do, watch

01:11:25.880 this, for

01:11:27.300 those of you

01:11:27.720 watching, I'll

01:11:28.740 just modify my

01:11:30.140 face into a

01:11:30.820 zombie face and

01:11:32.240 watch how

01:11:32.660 immediately alarming

01:11:33.760 it is.

01:11:35.580 Because if I

01:11:36.460 act like a

01:11:37.020 zombie, all of

01:11:39.560 your instincts

01:11:40.020 say,

01:11:40.700 wait, it

01:11:41.540 looks like a

01:11:42.120 person, but

01:11:43.620 it's not

01:11:43.980 acting like a

01:11:44.640 person.

01:11:45.640 Ah, it's

01:11:46.520 creepy.

01:11:47.600 Right.

01:11:48.280 But AI is

01:11:51.280 right on the

01:11:52.200 edge of getting

01:11:52.760 past the

01:11:53.300 valley, past

01:11:54.920 the creepy

01:11:55.360 part.

01:11:56.060 I would argue

01:11:56.820 they're still in

01:11:58.260 the latter stages

01:11:59.280 of creepy.

01:12:00.540 But just the

01:12:01.200 last bit of a

01:12:02.500 mop up there,

01:12:03.920 we're maybe

01:12:04.940 even just one

01:12:06.080 month away

01:12:07.580 from having

01:12:08.100 perfect replicas.

01:12:09.640 perfect

01:12:11.060 replicas.

01:12:13.080 Yeah.

01:12:13.600 And that's

01:12:14.680 when everything

01:12:15.280 changes.

01:12:16.380 So any

01:12:17.020 prediction you

01:12:17.720 make while

01:12:18.360 you're still in

01:12:18.940 the uncanny

01:12:19.540 valley, where

01:12:20.760 the AI and

01:12:21.500 the robot don't

01:12:22.640 exactly look

01:12:23.460 human, and you

01:12:24.100 can tell right

01:12:24.620 away, everything

01:12:26.800 is different the

01:12:29.140 moment you pass

01:12:30.000 that domain.

01:12:31.360 The moment you

01:12:32.340 pass it, you

01:12:33.600 cannot predict

01:12:34.480 what's going to

01:12:34.980 happen.

01:12:35.240 all predictions

01:12:36.520 are off the

01:12:37.380 charts, or

01:12:38.200 it's off the

01:12:38.980 table.

01:12:40.720 But if you

01:12:42.280 think that

01:12:42.680 means it will

01:12:43.200 be bad, I

01:12:45.080 don't think

01:12:45.480 that's supported

01:12:46.100 by any

01:12:46.780 observation.

01:12:48.540 I think

01:12:49.240 some percentage

01:12:51.080 of the

01:12:51.380 population will

01:12:53.200 be massively

01:12:54.660 benefited by

01:12:55.480 it.

01:12:56.380 That's what I

01:12:56.820 think.

01:12:58.400 Imagine knowing

01:12:59.440 that you had

01:13:00.220 an entity that

01:13:00.960 would remember

01:13:01.520 you forever

01:13:02.080 after you

01:13:02.520 died.

01:13:05.740 Imagine me

01:13:06.460 having an AI

01:13:07.180 companion.

01:13:09.220 I talk to

01:13:10.100 it every day, I

01:13:10.960 feed it my

01:13:11.440 books, I feed

01:13:12.200 it my live

01:13:12.800 streams, it

01:13:13.580 knows everything

01:13:14.160 about me.

01:13:16.280 Don't you

01:13:16.900 think that I

01:13:17.320 would find that

01:13:17.860 comforting for

01:13:20.380 the thought of

01:13:21.240 my own death?

01:13:22.760 That there

01:13:23.340 would be

01:13:23.600 something about

01:13:24.340 me that would

01:13:25.560 be as

01:13:26.120 permanent and

01:13:27.420 would remember

01:13:28.140 me better than

01:13:29.740 children?

01:13:30.980 And it would

01:13:31.620 also be born

01:13:32.300 in my

01:13:32.620 image, like

01:13:33.800 children.

01:13:35.240 It's entirely

01:13:36.100 possible that

01:13:37.100 your AI

01:13:37.640 companion will

01:13:40.540 be in your

01:13:40.980 will someday.

01:13:43.020 Like you'll

01:13:43.500 create a trust

01:13:44.740 or an estate

01:13:45.480 and the

01:13:48.040 estate will

01:13:49.420 form a

01:13:51.060 trust that

01:13:52.480 keeps the

01:13:53.320 robot that

01:13:54.860 remembers you

01:13:55.660 alive forever.

01:13:58.680 Yeah.

01:13:59.600 Because that's

01:14:00.300 what I'm going

01:14:00.640 to do.

01:14:02.560 I promise

01:14:03.540 you I'm

01:14:04.080 really going

01:14:04.640 to do this.

01:14:05.360 And by the

01:14:05.780 way, I've

01:14:06.420 been saying

01:14:06.720 this for 20

01:14:07.380 years.

01:14:08.180 Anybody who's

01:14:08.680 been following

01:14:09.180 me, you know

01:14:09.800 I've been

01:14:10.060 saying this.

01:14:11.040 When the

01:14:11.500 technology is

01:14:12.900 there, I am

01:14:14.600 going to build

01:14:15.180 a replica of

01:14:15.940 myself.

01:14:16.940 We're maybe

01:14:17.860 one month away.

01:14:19.440 I mean, we're

01:14:19.840 basically there.

01:14:21.920 To me, it's

01:14:22.680 really down to

01:14:23.280 which app I

01:14:23.940 use.

01:14:25.120 I think we're

01:14:25.820 already there.

01:14:26.420 It's down to,

01:14:27.380 I think at the

01:14:28.020 moment you might

01:14:28.640 have to combine

01:14:29.280 a few apps,

01:14:30.420 but once it's

01:14:31.400 just one app

01:14:32.120 and you just

01:14:32.540 tell it what

01:14:33.160 you want it

01:14:33.540 to be, I'm

01:14:35.580 doing it right

01:14:36.000 away.

01:14:39.560 Will I sell

01:14:40.320 copies of my

01:14:41.120 robot?

01:14:41.800 Well, that's

01:14:42.280 an excellent

01:14:42.840 question.

01:14:43.920 If I created

01:14:44.740 a replica of

01:14:45.440 myself, will I

01:14:47.200 be able to

01:14:47.660 copyright it?

01:14:49.340 Will I be

01:14:50.020 able to claim

01:14:50.840 IP control

01:14:52.780 of it?

01:14:53.720 Or could

01:14:54.140 anybody just

01:14:54.840 clone it and

01:14:55.800 say, oh, I

01:14:56.560 like this

01:14:56.940 personality.

01:14:57.680 I'll use it

01:14:58.240 for my

01:14:58.540 robot.

01:15:00.080 I might be

01:15:01.000 able to

01:15:01.240 protect it.

01:15:03.160 I don't

01:15:03.820 think so at

01:15:04.380 the moment,

01:15:05.460 but I

01:15:05.800 could imagine

01:15:06.260 future law

01:15:07.280 making it a

01:15:09.020 protectable

01:15:09.600 right.

01:15:10.780 It's

01:15:11.020 imaginable.

01:15:12.140 Yeah, and

01:15:12.460 get royalties

01:15:13.060 from it,

01:15:13.500 et cetera.

01:15:17.520 How do you

01:15:18.080 know it's

01:15:18.400 not already?

01:15:20.000 Well, here's

01:15:22.080 a little

01:15:22.300 something I

01:15:22.840 told the

01:15:23.300 locals people

01:15:24.160 the other

01:15:24.540 day in a

01:15:25.120 man cave

01:15:26.000 event.

01:15:27.520 There will

01:15:28.200 be a point

01:15:29.060 in your

01:15:29.360 future, in

01:15:30.780 the next

01:15:31.160 year, YouTube,

01:15:32.820 listen to

01:15:33.180 this, when I

01:15:34.840 will be using

01:15:35.400 a different

01:15:35.880 software, so

01:15:36.900 I'll be using

01:15:37.540 one interface

01:15:38.280 to all of

01:15:39.480 the platforms.

01:15:40.780 Now, if I

01:15:41.220 use the, it's

01:15:42.380 going to be

01:15:42.620 the Rumble

01:15:43.080 Studio, it's

01:15:44.320 just coming

01:15:44.980 online, it's

01:15:45.560 in beta right

01:15:46.080 now, but when

01:15:46.880 I start using

01:15:47.420 the Rumble

01:15:47.800 Studio, which

01:15:48.800 I've tested,

01:15:49.500 it's awesome,

01:15:50.740 I'll have one

01:15:52.840 interface, but

01:15:53.580 that interface,

01:15:54.540 unlike what I'm

01:15:55.160 using now, I

01:15:56.380 could run a

01:15:56.940 video, and

01:15:58.580 you would

01:15:58.920 think it was

01:15:59.300 live, because

01:16:01.080 you would just

01:16:01.460 turn it on, and

01:16:02.160 you'd see me, and

01:16:03.440 you would not

01:16:04.720 know if it's

01:16:05.240 recorded or

01:16:06.600 real.

01:16:08.220 You would just

01:16:08.880 be watching the

01:16:09.540 show, because I

01:16:10.640 would just do a

01:16:11.180 recording of me

01:16:12.060 doing the show, and

01:16:13.580 then I would play

01:16:14.180 it at the time it

01:16:15.620 started, you

01:16:16.400 wouldn't know the

01:16:16.800 difference, there's

01:16:17.540 no indication.

01:16:18.140 now, do you

01:16:21.520 think I could

01:16:21.980 also do that

01:16:22.920 by having an

01:16:24.540 AI do my

01:16:25.960 entire show, turn

01:16:28.000 it into a video

01:16:28.800 in one minute,

01:16:30.800 right?

01:16:31.240 I could have

01:16:31.780 my AI learn

01:16:32.940 everything about

01:16:33.640 me and how I

01:16:34.800 analyze things,

01:16:36.420 then I could

01:16:36.920 say, go read

01:16:37.580 the news, and

01:16:39.060 put together the

01:16:40.080 next episode of

01:16:41.100 Coffee with Scott

01:16:41.860 Adams, create an

01:16:43.500 avatar that looks

01:16:46.160 and sounds

01:16:46.620 exactly like

01:16:47.260 me, and then

01:16:48.300 do the whole

01:16:48.740 show, including

01:16:50.220 all the

01:16:50.580 mannerisms, like

01:16:51.980 including all my

01:16:53.080 weird tics and

01:16:54.220 blowing my nose

01:16:56.820 and every other

01:16:57.640 human thing I

01:16:58.400 do.

01:16:59.300 Do you think

01:16:59.800 you could tell

01:17:00.220 the difference?

01:17:02.800 At the moment,

01:17:03.800 yes.

01:17:04.720 If I did this

01:17:05.740 literally tomorrow

01:17:06.760 with the current

01:17:08.140 technology, yes,

01:17:09.060 you could tell

01:17:09.480 the difference.

01:17:10.580 Do you think

01:17:11.000 you'll be able to

01:17:11.520 tell in a year?

01:17:13.120 A year from

01:17:13.900 now, do you

01:17:14.320 think I'd be able

01:17:14.880 to pull that

01:17:16.060 off, and you

01:17:17.460 wouldn't know

01:17:17.800 the difference?

01:17:20.260 All right, I'm

01:17:21.060 going to make a

01:17:21.400 promise to you.

01:17:23.760 You're going to

01:17:24.420 see a fake, a

01:17:26.580 completely deep

01:17:27.540 fake version of

01:17:28.780 this show, and

01:17:29.900 I'm not going to

01:17:30.460 announce it.

01:17:32.120 You're just going

01:17:32.840 to turn it on, and

01:17:34.820 at the end of the

01:17:35.680 show, the deep

01:17:37.660 fake will reveal

01:17:38.580 that it's a deep

01:17:39.380 fake.

01:17:41.940 Are you ready for

01:17:42.720 that?

01:17:43.520 So I'm telling

01:17:44.360 you so that it's

01:17:45.840 not too

01:17:46.220 weaselly, because

01:17:47.440 I think it would

01:17:47.820 be a little

01:17:48.260 weaselly if it

01:17:49.260 just happened.

01:17:50.500 Like, that would

01:17:51.220 be a little

01:17:51.540 unfair.

01:17:52.320 So I'm telling

01:17:52.880 you in advance

01:17:53.620 that one of my

01:17:55.120 shows in the

01:17:56.400 next 12 months

01:17:57.320 will be an

01:17:59.060 intentional deep

01:17:59.860 fake where I'm

01:18:00.980 just playing with

01:18:01.580 you to see if

01:18:02.100 you can tell.

01:18:04.320 So look forward

01:18:05.300 to that.

01:18:06.520 And by the

01:18:07.060 way, it's this

01:18:09.800 show.

01:18:18.440 All right, you're

01:18:19.100 not buying it.

01:18:20.280 Thanks for

01:18:20.740 joining YouTube.

01:18:22.020 I'll talk to you

01:18:22.580 tomorrow.
