Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2309 Scott Adams： CWSA 12⧸01⧸23 The News Has A Pattern Lately. I'll Tell You What It Means

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to another highlight of human civilization.

00:00:09.920 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams because it includes both of those things.

00:00:14.320 And if you'd like to take this experience up to a level which nobody can even imagine with their greatest imagination,

00:00:22.100 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask,

00:00:26.580 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid, I like, coffee.

00:00:31.460 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:34.160 It's the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:38.360 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:45.040 Oh, yeah. Savor it. Savor it.

00:00:48.780 Well, happy December.

00:00:52.140 I'd like to start with a human interest story about my garbage.

00:00:57.200 Now, you say to yourself, Scott, how interesting could a story about your garbage be?

00:01:03.120 Well, not very, but I'm going to tell you anyway.

00:01:06.960 So I have a garbage anxiety, which the people who watch me livestream on my man cave know.

00:01:13.820 So there's a, on Wednesday night, I have to take my four garbage cans.

00:01:19.680 You know, two of them are from outdoor waste and recycling and blah, blah.

00:01:24.000 So there's four of them, and I've got this long kill of a driveway.

00:01:28.860 So it's kind of a lot of work.

00:01:31.400 Now, I have anxiety about forgetting to do it.

00:01:35.500 Because by Wednesday night, you know, by the time it's after five o'clock in the evening, you know, I start really early, sometimes three or four in the morning.

00:01:43.840 So, you know, that's the end of my day, basically.

00:01:45.960 So I often forget.

00:01:48.400 So I forgot last week, or I got confused because of the holiday.

00:01:51.900 So I got, I had two weeks full of garbage in my garbage cans.

00:01:55.840 Now, the locals platform reacts to my hand gestures, and when I said two, it read peace sign and balloons went off.

00:02:10.860 So that's fun.

00:02:11.780 You can't see that, but if you could, you'd think it was funny.

00:02:15.360 Anyway, so I've got two weeks full of garbage in a one-week can.

00:02:19.240 It's like, it's packed to the top.

00:02:21.040 But I noticed that I had, you know, two garbage cans in case I have these big days of garbage that happen sometimes.

00:02:27.640 And both of them were, well, like one was half full and the other was full.

00:02:31.480 So I reached down by hand and took out these old gnarly garbages and stuffed them into one so that I'd have, you know, one less trip down the driveway.

00:02:42.120 So now I've got garbage that's so heavy I can almost not drag them downhill.

00:02:48.200 They're so heavy.

00:02:49.480 Well over 100 pounds.

00:02:51.860 And there are two of them.

00:02:53.220 I get them down there.

00:02:54.760 And it was, you know, maybe close to 7 o'clock at night.

00:02:59.400 And I had a really hard day, worked really hard, got up really early, been working all day.

00:03:05.160 And my body was really sore.

00:03:07.900 And I thought, you know what?

00:03:09.300 I'm going to do something I never get to do.

00:03:12.180 I'm feeling good because my work's done.

00:03:14.860 My garbage is out to the street.

00:03:16.640 I don't have anything that I have to do the rest of the night.

00:03:19.280 I'm going to draw myself a hot bath.

00:03:22.780 When was the last time you had time to do that?

00:03:26.080 Like the most decadent thing you could possibly do as an adult.

00:03:29.440 As an adult, when do you have time to take a bath?

00:03:32.480 You know, just sit in hot water and have nothing else to do.

00:03:36.500 But this was the first time I could think of, probably in a year, where I just legitimately, I was done with all of my work.

00:03:44.140 And especially done with my garbage, the best part.

00:03:48.280 I could get that in my mind.

00:03:50.900 So I go to fill my bathtub.

00:03:53.960 I'm going to put some Epsom salt in there and really rest my muscles.

00:03:59.320 And then I get a message.

00:04:00.960 Bing! 0.98

00:04:03.060 Oh, it's my next door neighbor.

00:04:04.580 Your garbage cans have been hit by a car.

00:04:09.680 Your garbage is strewn all over the street.

00:04:16.460 Now, do you ever think that the universe is just messing with you?

00:04:20.560 And this was actually one of my biggest irrational concerns is remembering to put my garbage out.

00:04:32.280 And of all the times that I put my garbage out, so I've been in this house, I don't know, 15 years or something.

00:04:38.660 So in 15 years of putting the garbage out, I'm the only one who does it every night.

00:04:43.820 Only once, only once in all those years, has it been the most packed that the garbage has ever been packed.

00:04:53.980 Only once.

00:04:56.900 And I actually got on security cameras, I won't be more specific, but I got a good picture of the car taking them out.

00:05:05.120 It didn't stop.

00:05:06.240 Imagine driving at full speed, hitting two objects that are 100 pounds apiece, knocking them all over the street, and continuing on.

00:05:19.760 Yeah, probably drunk.

00:05:21.820 Probably drunk.

00:05:22.940 Maybe drunk, or maybe there were two drivers and one of them was having a better time than the other, if you know what I mean.

00:05:28.820 Like, I like to think of it in a positive way.

00:05:33.080 So that was my evening.

00:05:34.220 But let's get on to other things.

00:05:37.420 Here's one of my topics, visual persuasion.

00:05:41.100 And as I've told you, visual persuasion includes somebody talking and describing something that you imagine visually.

00:05:49.700 So here's Matt Gaetz using amazing visual persuasion, talking about the potential expulsion of George Santos from Congress

00:06:00.300 for whatever behaviors that are boring and I don't care about.

00:06:04.900 But Matt Gaetz says,

00:06:07.420 Whatever Mr. Santos did with Botox or OnlyFans is far less concerning to me than the indictment against Senator Menendez,

00:06:15.920 wait for it,

00:06:17.060 who's holding gold bars from Egypt while he's still getting classified briefings.

00:06:23.540 Now, I think he actually went on to say that the gold bars actually had Arabic on him.

00:06:30.000 So he had gold bars with Arabic writing from Egypt and he's still doing his job.

00:06:36.140 One of the most critical, confidential jobs in all of the world.

00:06:42.780 He's still on the job.

00:06:43.780 But boy, we got to get rid of this George Santos guy because he's told some lies and apparently he may have used some Botox and he looked at porn once.

00:06:56.540 So, got to get rid of that guy.

00:07:00.380 Anyway, the visual persuasion of the gold bars with Arabic on them from Egypt, that is really, really good public speaking.

00:07:09.820 If you don't catch how good that is, just always look for the visual.

00:07:15.820 This is what Trump does.

00:07:17.780 You know, he doesn't say we need border security.

00:07:19.580 He says, build the wall.

00:07:21.620 Because then you imagine the wall.

00:07:23.500 Good technique.

00:07:24.220 So, you know, Twitter's coming under all this great scrutiny for what people are claiming is, you know, bad people on there being matched or identify, let's say, content being paired that shouldn't be paired and all that.

00:07:45.980 But what do you think is happening over at Facebook?

00:07:48.800 So, Facebook is being accused of having too much, I don't even want to say the word, but let's just say if you're not over 18, you know, you know what I mean.

00:08:02.100 So, basically, content of people who are not adults that should not even be legal, which is, you know, paired with advertisements and stuff and fed to kids and all kinds of damn things.

00:08:15.140 And then other people are saying that there's a Palestinian group accusing Meta, the parent company, of unfairly moderating speech because of the Israel-Hamas situation.

00:08:30.120 And I think to myself, is it my imagination or is everything about Facebook feeling old and a date?

00:08:41.280 Like, Facebook doesn't even feel relevant to anything.

00:08:47.080 I know it must be.

00:08:48.720 I mean, it's gigantic.

00:08:50.520 But in my life, it doesn't have any relevance at all.

00:08:54.040 The only time I look is, you know, once every several months I want to maybe check on and see what people are up to.

00:09:02.240 That's it.

00:09:03.420 Like, I never interact.

00:09:05.060 I never comment.

00:09:06.880 It just has no appeal at all.

00:09:08.700 I imagine if you get kids or something, you know, young kids maybe, or you like to show off your vacations.

00:09:15.840 Maybe it's better for that.

00:09:17.300 But Facebook, in 2023, almost 2024, feels like a dinosaur.

00:09:24.580 Whereas the X platform is still so edgy that we're still talking about what it is.

00:09:30.880 You know, we can't even decide what it is.

00:09:32.780 It's changing so quickly and there's so much going on.

00:09:35.860 The X always seems new.

00:09:39.720 So everything about X feels fresh and new.

00:09:43.440 It's about what's happening today.

00:09:45.220 It's, you know, big things that I care about.

00:09:47.880 And Facebook is tiny little things that you shouldn't even see.

00:09:51.220 Like what somebody ate on vacation.

00:09:54.440 And just bullshit, really.

00:09:56.240 I have no idea how Facebook could be a viable product going forward.

00:10:03.240 Now, I do get Instagram and I get WhatsApp.

00:10:06.300 So they have assets that are valuable.

00:10:08.820 But I just don't get the core business at all.

00:10:11.620 Anyway.

00:10:13.980 People are canceling Disney Plus and Hulu, which is owned by Disney,

00:10:18.220 after the dust-up between Elon Musk and his advertisers, including Disney.

00:10:25.840 And I wonder, do you think that Bob Iger knows

00:10:30.920 that Disney doesn't have any modern and good products?

00:10:36.200 Like, it's rare to see a company that is that completely fucked.

00:10:44.780 Completely.

00:10:46.800 Right.

00:10:47.340 Because, so, they own ABC News, right?

00:10:51.900 Do I have that right?

00:10:52.900 Disney owns ABC News?

00:10:54.200 But television news is just the most ridiculous dinosaur in the world.

00:11:03.200 So I wouldn't want any, I wouldn't want to own ABC News or ABC.

00:11:07.960 I wouldn't want to own network news.

00:11:11.060 But I also wouldn't want to own a theme park

00:11:16.300 in which you have to stand for long periods of time for a brief thrill,

00:11:23.200 when most of the kids have a smartphone in their hand

00:11:26.760 and they're looking at their phone

00:11:28.660 and they've got 700 bits of entertainment

00:11:31.660 while they're waiting for your three minutes of going up and down.

00:11:34.800 Whoa.

00:11:35.920 Whoa.

00:11:37.440 I can't even imagine

00:11:39.080 how theme parks could be in existence 10 more years from now.

00:11:45.200 How does it even make sense?

00:11:47.140 I feel as though,

00:11:50.240 you know, maybe virtual reality or something,

00:11:52.160 there'll be something that is just more interesting.

00:11:55.520 But if I were making woke movies nobody wanted to see

00:11:59.200 with dying franchises that I'd mostly killed

00:12:02.520 by my bad decisions about wokeness, usually,

00:12:06.160 there is nothing happening at Disney that looks good.

00:12:11.400 There's nothing happening that looks good.

00:12:13.760 I think Bob Iger's got a problem,

00:12:16.380 the likes of which only China can understand.

00:12:20.940 Only China.

00:12:23.880 We'll talk about that later.

00:12:25.800 Well, I'm loving this story

00:12:27.640 about Trump's valuations

00:12:32.900 and the trial about whether he overvalued his assets.

00:12:36.300 As you know,

00:12:38.620 and Jonathan Turley's writing about this

00:12:40.760 and tweeting about it,

00:12:42.980 imagine that you're the judge

00:12:45.540 and you've already ruled.

00:12:47.800 Keep in mind that the current process

00:12:49.880 is to figure out what the penalty will be.

00:12:52.900 But the ruling is already made.

00:12:55.400 Trump is already guilty,

00:12:57.240 according to this judge,

00:12:58.960 of fraud for inflating his assets.

00:13:01.320 So now the question will be,

00:13:03.660 how big is the penalty?

00:13:05.360 Including taking away their ability

00:13:07.740 to operate their business.

00:13:09.860 At least in New York, I guess.

00:13:12.600 I mean, serious.

00:13:13.800 Like the biggest penalty you could ever imagine.

00:13:16.620 Now, the essence of it

00:13:18.000 is that he did something bad

00:13:20.940 so that the banks were on the other side

00:13:24.420 of that badness.

00:13:25.820 But then the bank itself testified

00:13:28.300 and they said,

00:13:30.620 and keep in mind,

00:13:31.920 this is in the penalty phase,

00:13:33.720 not the trial phase.

00:13:36.500 Right?

00:13:37.260 But in the penalty phase,

00:13:39.620 the testimony debunked the trial.

00:13:43.360 I don't know if I've ever seen that before.

00:13:46.260 Have you ever heard of that?

00:13:48.260 Here's what I mean.

00:13:49.980 So the trial was that

00:13:51.340 Trump did a bad thing

00:13:52.540 by overvaluating assets,

00:13:54.640 and that's fraud.

00:13:56.260 The bank said,

00:13:57.860 and this is just me paraphrasing, right?

00:14:00.280 They didn't say this exactly.

00:14:02.020 The bank said,

00:14:03.420 he was a great customer.

00:14:05.120 We would love to work with him again.

00:14:07.080 Again, I'm paraphrasing.

00:14:08.160 They didn't say it exactly,

00:14:09.180 but the essence of it is yes.

00:14:11.200 Great customer.

00:14:12.460 He was a whale of a customer,

00:14:13.840 the ones we seek out.

00:14:15.380 We made millions of dollars.

00:14:17.360 Would love to do that kind of business

00:14:19.100 with him again.

00:14:20.320 And here's the punchline.

00:14:22.800 We never accept

00:14:24.200 the borrower's word

00:14:26.320 for their assets.

00:14:27.820 That is ordinary business

00:14:29.740 to do our own investigation,

00:14:32.320 which we of course did,

00:14:34.400 and made our own decision

00:14:35.700 about the value of the loan.

00:14:37.540 Apparently, we made good decisions

00:14:39.380 because they were always paid back on time,

00:14:41.860 and we made a profit.

00:14:43.180 Would love to do it again.

00:14:44.320 That's in the penalty phase.

00:14:51.640 Here's a question for you.

00:14:54.240 Why wasn't that in the trial?

00:14:58.540 Probably because it didn't matter.

00:15:00.660 Probably because the judge said,

00:15:02.600 it doesn't matter

00:15:03.300 what the opinion of the bank is.

00:15:05.500 If you lied, you lied.

00:15:07.100 That would be fraud.

00:15:07.860 I assume it's something like that.

00:15:12.360 Because isn't the most critical part

00:15:14.760 of understanding what he did

00:15:16.720 is what the other party

00:15:18.460 to the transaction

00:15:19.400 was thinking about it.

00:15:21.080 What the other party

00:15:22.220 was thinking about it

00:15:23.520 and how they turned out

00:15:24.860 is maybe not the most important thing,

00:15:30.780 but it's pretty close.

00:15:34.180 Well, maybe this is

00:15:35.360 the most important thing.

00:15:36.140 the fact that there's no victim.

00:15:38.840 Not only is there no victim,

00:15:40.400 but the victim would love

00:15:41.700 to have it happen again.

00:15:44.340 Like, please,

00:15:45.300 can you victimize me again, Mr. Trump?

00:15:47.300 And by the way,

00:15:48.020 if everything works out for you,

00:15:49.580 we'd love to do business with you again.

00:15:52.240 Imagine being that judge.

00:15:54.380 Just imagine

00:15:55.420 how faced that judge is right now.

00:15:59.160 That has to be

00:16:00.120 the most embarrassing

00:16:01.100 judicial situation

00:16:03.240 I've ever heard of.

00:16:04.920 Have you ever heard of a judge

00:16:06.020 being embarrassed like that?

00:16:08.960 That is super embarrassing.

00:16:12.860 Wow.

00:16:15.500 And I would like to go further.

00:16:18.940 Now, I've already bragged

00:16:21.680 that because I was a banker,

00:16:24.100 and specifically,

00:16:25.360 I was a loan officer.

00:16:26.760 I was a guy who approved loans

00:16:29.220 to certain kinds of businesses.

00:16:30.440 And I told you early on in this process

00:16:33.600 that the bank isn't going to complain

00:16:35.940 because the bank always does their own checking.

00:16:39.040 No exceptions.

00:16:41.100 You can't be a lender

00:16:42.280 and sometimes take their word for it.

00:16:45.320 That's not a thing.

00:16:47.040 There is no loan ever,

00:16:50.140 ever anywhere,

00:16:52.360 in a traditional bank,

00:16:54.500 ever,

00:16:55.060 not once,

00:16:56.440 where the lender said,

00:16:57.780 you know what?

00:16:58.580 You look like an honest guy.

00:17:00.880 I'm going to take your word for that.

00:17:03.600 Literally,

00:17:04.820 never.

00:17:06.360 Now,

00:17:06.720 a venture capitalist might,

00:17:08.300 if you're a venture capitalist

00:17:09.440 or especially an angel,

00:17:11.440 more an angel than a venture capitalist

00:17:13.180 because venture capitalists

00:17:14.180 are practically bankers.

00:17:15.980 But an angel might say,

00:17:17.300 you know what?

00:17:18.440 I don't know exactly

00:17:19.260 even what you're talking about,

00:17:21.100 but you're such a good manager,

00:17:23.100 I'll just take your word for it.

00:17:24.780 That does happen,

00:17:26.300 but not in a bank.

00:17:29.200 Not ever in a bank.

00:17:31.020 It just doesn't happen.

00:17:32.220 So,

00:17:35.140 now the public knows that.

00:17:36.880 But here's the interesting question.

00:17:39.980 How many criminals do you believe,

00:17:42.960 according to this judge,

00:17:44.780 who says if you exaggerate

00:17:46.360 or lie to your bank,

00:17:48.920 you've committed a crime?

00:17:50.580 If you were to look at

00:17:51.580 the Deutsche Bank loan files,

00:17:55.740 how often would you find

00:17:57.200 that the person asking for the loan

00:17:59.980 had grossly exaggerated

00:18:01.860 the value of one of their assets?

00:18:04.580 How often?

00:18:07.160 A lot.

00:18:09.200 And that's why

00:18:10.400 the bankers were completely unconcerned

00:18:13.440 because it's actually routine.

00:18:17.020 Completely normal.

00:18:18.940 That the...

00:18:20.200 And trust me,

00:18:21.160 I'm not guessing.

00:18:22.640 I've looked at a lot of loans

00:18:24.500 and the first thing you do

00:18:26.320 is you take their estimate

00:18:27.320 and you cut it by half.

00:18:28.860 That's just the most basic

00:18:30.900 banking thing you do.

00:18:31.960 Everybody does it.

00:18:33.600 So,

00:18:34.240 isn't this a case

00:18:36.600 of unequal justice?

00:18:39.160 So, you've got...

00:18:40.440 Let's say you've got

00:18:41.260 a filing cabinet

00:18:42.240 full of loan...

00:18:44.140 You know, loans.

00:18:45.240 You know,

00:18:45.460 obviously it's digital,

00:18:46.620 but just imagine it.

00:18:48.940 And

00:18:49.320 in maybe two-thirds

00:18:52.200 of those loans,

00:18:53.860 the bank didn't believe

00:18:55.160 the asset value

00:18:56.080 and the bank

00:18:57.460 was probably right.

00:18:58.680 The bank was right.

00:18:59.760 The asset value

00:19:00.420 was overstated.

00:19:02.340 Are all those people

00:19:03.420 going to be tried?

00:19:05.800 Are they all going to be

00:19:06.900 put out of business

00:19:07.760 by this judge?

00:19:09.120 How in the world,

00:19:11.120 how in any world,

00:19:13.120 could this stand

00:19:13.980 a Supreme Court review?

00:19:16.240 Like,

00:19:16.760 I'm not even a lawyer

00:19:17.660 or even close to a lawyer.

00:19:20.780 And to me,

00:19:21.540 it's obvious

00:19:22.000 that this can't possibly

00:19:23.240 get through any kind

00:19:24.900 of, you know,

00:19:26.060 higher court approval.

00:19:27.980 How could it?

00:19:29.320 How in the world...

00:19:30.120 Do you think

00:19:30.660 the Supreme Court

00:19:31.400 is going to say,

00:19:32.380 yes,

00:19:33.340 the banker

00:19:34.460 and Trump

00:19:35.560 acted in the most

00:19:36.520 routine way

00:19:37.500 that anybody acts,

00:19:38.940 exactly like

00:19:39.920 two-thirds

00:19:40.940 of their other

00:19:41.700 lenders

00:19:42.820 or their other customers,

00:19:44.740 just like two-thirds

00:19:45.660 of all the customers.

00:19:47.160 But one of them

00:19:47.840 is going to go to jail

00:19:48.680 or one of them

00:19:49.500 is going to lose

00:19:50.040 their business

00:19:50.440 and not go to jail.

00:19:52.060 How does that work?

00:19:53.820 There's not any chance

00:19:55.180 that this can hold up.

00:19:56.720 This is so political.

00:19:58.620 This judge is...

00:20:00.700 How embarrassing.

00:20:02.620 And as you know,

00:20:03.960 Laura Loomer

00:20:04.720 discovered that

00:20:05.720 the judge's wife

00:20:06.820 was posting,

00:20:08.620 you know,

00:20:09.080 F-Trump memes

00:20:10.440 and showing him

00:20:11.420 with a shaved head

00:20:12.240 in a prison suit

00:20:13.160 long before the trial.

00:20:15.740 How in the world

00:20:17.020 does this pass

00:20:18.460 any kind of

00:20:19.020 Supreme Court review?

00:20:20.040 I mean,

00:20:21.040 that alone,

00:20:21.660 well,

00:20:23.300 I don't know

00:20:23.600 how the Supreme Court

00:20:24.380 works on that,

00:20:25.340 but if the Supreme Court

00:20:26.320 knew that his wife

00:20:27.440 was, you know,

00:20:29.140 unambiguously biased

00:20:30.420 against him,

00:20:31.520 how in the world

00:20:32.380 does the Supreme Court

00:20:33.280 say,

00:20:33.780 yes,

00:20:34.080 justice was served there?

00:20:36.100 How in the world?

00:20:37.780 It's absurd.

00:20:41.600 And Trump posted

00:20:42.660 about the judge's wife

00:20:44.140 posting that stuff

00:20:45.360 on Truth Social.

00:20:46.120 All right.

00:20:50.460 In 2018,

00:20:52.540 my stepson died

00:20:55.120 of a fentanyl overdose

00:20:56.200 and I publicly vowed

00:20:58.960 that I would get even

00:20:59.680 with China.

00:21:01.660 Cartels, too.

00:21:03.580 And I told you

00:21:04.220 in 2018

00:21:04.780 I was going to

00:21:06.220 persuade the world

00:21:07.100 that China was 0.73

00:21:07.820 unsafe to do business

00:21:09.160 because I believed

00:21:11.880 it was unsafe

00:21:12.740 to do business,

00:21:13.620 but I didn't think

00:21:14.960 people could see it

00:21:15.740 the way I saw it.

00:21:17.260 So I started

00:21:17.920 saying that

00:21:19.080 over and over

00:21:19.660 and over again

00:21:20.180 and

00:21:21.360 the news today

00:21:24.820 from the Wall Street Journal

00:21:25.840 is that

00:21:26.580 five years later

00:21:28.600 China is unsafe 1.00

00:21:29.960 for business.

00:21:32.500 And I'll bet you

00:21:33.060 every single company

00:21:34.600 that invested in China

00:21:36.700 a long-term investment

00:21:37.960 in 2018

00:21:39.320 is kind of unhappy

00:21:40.720 that that happened.

00:21:41.480 So

00:21:44.400 do you think

00:21:47.740 that was my prediction?

00:21:50.700 So I made a prediction

00:21:51.780 about the trial,

00:21:53.640 you know,

00:21:53.840 the banking trial

00:21:54.600 with Trump.

00:21:55.440 That was right.

00:21:57.040 And I didn't hear

00:21:57.860 anyone else

00:21:58.480 make that argument,

00:21:59.380 did you?

00:22:00.480 Did you hear

00:22:01.040 anyone else

00:22:02.000 in the public domain

00:22:03.480 make that argument

00:22:04.920 that the bankers

00:22:06.100 would say

00:22:06.520 there's no problem here?

00:22:07.860 I didn't hear it.

00:22:09.040 I think I was

00:22:09.520 the only one.

00:22:11.480 Now,

00:22:12.120 it's not because

00:22:12.560 I'm smart.

00:22:13.680 It's because

00:22:14.420 I was a banker.

00:22:15.800 I always teach you

00:22:16.760 that having

00:22:17.140 a good talent stack,

00:22:18.780 you know,

00:22:18.940 a combination of talents

00:22:20.260 gives you extra

00:22:21.500 vision on things.

00:22:23.300 I happen to be

00:22:24.520 a person who talks

00:22:25.540 about the news

00:22:26.120 every day,

00:22:27.020 but by luck,

00:22:28.800 I was also

00:22:29.360 a lending officer.

00:22:31.000 So I could see this

00:22:32.200 before people could see it.

00:22:33.400 It was obvious.

00:22:36.220 Let's take another one.

00:22:37.400 Montana tried

00:22:39.620 to ban TikTok

00:22:40.520 in their state,

00:22:42.100 but of course

00:22:42.880 a U.S. district judge

00:22:44.840 has blocked the ban,

00:22:47.120 so it will not be banned.

00:22:48.920 What did Montana 0.89

00:22:49.840 do wrong?

00:22:51.120 And does it look like

00:22:52.080 something I could have

00:22:52.920 warned them about?

00:22:54.560 If they had listened

00:22:55.440 to me,

00:22:55.840 would they have

00:22:56.160 made this mistake?

00:22:57.680 Well,

00:22:58.120 let me tell you

00:22:58.840 what they got wrong.

00:23:00.040 The reason

00:23:00.940 that Montana gave 0.93

00:23:02.120 is data security.

00:23:04.720 Their argument

00:23:07.740 for banning it

00:23:08.520 was not the influence

00:23:09.980 part,

00:23:10.880 which is the actual risk.

00:23:12.960 It was over

00:23:13.740 data security.

00:23:15.260 And the judge

00:23:15.800 just said,

00:23:16.480 you know,

00:23:17.120 they say they can

00:23:17.920 handle the data security.

00:23:19.400 It's kind of an

00:23:19.900 overreach.

00:23:20.980 Free speech.

00:23:24.820 Totally,

00:23:26.160 Montana

00:23:26.640 totally botched this.

00:23:29.000 They should have

00:23:29.820 gone for the influence

00:23:31.100 because it can be

00:23:33.260 demonstrated quite easily.

00:23:35.480 That China controls 0.95

00:23:36.820 Chinese companies

00:23:37.840 and the Chinese company

00:23:38.980 has a heat button

00:23:39.760 and even at this moment

00:23:41.780 there's great concern

00:23:43.200 that they may have

00:23:43.880 pushed the heat button

00:23:44.660 on the Gaza situation.

00:23:48.380 And it's not even

00:23:49.340 legal in China.

00:23:50.480 I mean,

00:23:50.800 the argument was so good,

00:23:52.380 so easy,

00:23:53.600 and instead they went

00:23:54.740 for the weakest,

00:23:56.420 dumbest diversion.

00:23:58.960 That it's really

00:23:59.740 about the data security.

00:24:01.680 Now,

00:24:01.900 the data security

00:24:02.580 is not nothing,

00:24:03.340 but it's the least

00:24:05.460 important part

00:24:06.100 of the story

00:24:06.560 by far.

00:24:08.720 So,

00:24:09.320 if Montana

00:24:10.140 had followed my advice,

00:24:11.340 would they do better?

00:24:12.480 Well,

00:24:12.740 they couldn't do worse.

00:24:14.980 They would have had

00:24:15.740 a chance of doing better.

00:24:17.940 All right,

00:24:18.280 here's my next prediction

00:24:19.200 since I'm so good

00:24:20.360 at predicting.

00:24:21.500 Let me tell you

00:24:22.100 what's going to happen

00:24:22.700 with AI and movies.

00:24:25.200 And everybody else's

00:24:26.260 opinion is wrong

00:24:27.080 and mine is right.

00:24:28.840 It goes like this.

00:24:32.300 So,

00:24:32.840 I guess Ridley Scott

00:24:33.720 was saying,

00:24:34.220 you know,

00:24:34.460 AI would just,

00:24:35.820 you know,

00:24:36.480 change everything

00:24:37.240 and he probably thinks

00:24:38.700 that everybody

00:24:39.280 would lose their jobs.

00:24:40.680 I think not.

00:24:42.100 I think what's going

00:24:42.800 to happen is

00:24:43.340 all the same people

00:24:44.260 who make movies,

00:24:45.860 you know,

00:24:46.100 you've got your directors

00:24:47.040 and producers

00:24:47.720 and costumers

00:24:48.900 and your actors

00:24:50.440 and whatnot.

00:24:51.300 So,

00:24:51.520 you've got dozens

00:24:52.460 of trades

00:24:54.180 that come together

00:24:55.520 for it.

00:24:55.940 and here's

00:24:59.220 what I think.

00:24:59.880 I think each

00:25:00.620 of those entities

00:25:01.500 will just use AI

00:25:03.300 to do their part better.

00:25:05.640 Now,

00:25:05.940 the obvious question

00:25:06.880 is why do you need

00:25:07.620 the human?

00:25:09.200 You know,

00:25:09.600 even if you imagine

00:25:11.420 AI is not good enough yet,

00:25:13.940 will it not obviously

00:25:15.340 be good enough,

00:25:16.220 you know,

00:25:16.480 very soon?

00:25:17.320 And I say,

00:25:18.240 nope,

00:25:19.420 because here's what

00:25:20.060 you're missing.

00:25:21.240 If you're not a,

00:25:22.200 this is what those

00:25:23.200 telestack things again,

00:25:24.760 right?

00:25:24.940 I had a good prediction

00:25:27.780 about banking

00:25:28.540 because I was

00:25:30.400 in that job.

00:25:32.020 That's the only reason

00:25:32.720 I had that visibility.

00:25:34.600 I'm also

00:25:35.140 a creator

00:25:36.920 who writes

00:25:38.400 and creates

00:25:38.920 and,

00:25:39.220 you know,

00:25:39.600 does artistic things.

00:25:41.100 So,

00:25:41.680 I'm going to tell you

00:25:42.340 that AI,

00:25:43.580 when it comes

00:25:44.040 to artistic things,

00:25:45.660 has a disadvantage

00:25:46.720 that humans have

00:25:48.500 and I don't know

00:25:49.140 how AI would overcome it

00:25:50.500 just by getting smarter.

00:25:52.980 And it's this.

00:25:53.660 Humans have

00:25:55.120 two brains,

00:25:56.560 minimum.

00:25:57.220 They have several

00:25:58.040 personalities going on

00:25:59.260 in their head

00:25:59.660 all the time.

00:26:00.640 But the two that matter

00:26:01.780 to this conversation

00:26:02.680 are somebody

00:26:04.100 who's pitching an idea.

00:26:05.700 This is you to yourself.

00:26:07.060 You're pitching an idea

00:26:07.960 to yourself,

00:26:08.560 but you're also

00:26:09.660 evaluating it instantly.

00:26:11.860 So you're the pitcher

00:26:12.760 and the catcher.

00:26:14.140 You're the buyer,

00:26:15.580 you're the seller

00:26:16.200 and the buyer.

00:26:17.540 You're the artist

00:26:18.540 and the art critic.

00:26:19.320 So everything you do,

00:26:21.700 you instantly evaluate,

00:26:23.300 but you do it

00:26:24.040 based on

00:26:24.740 this instrument,

00:26:27.820 which is your

00:26:28.480 physical body.

00:26:30.280 And it's the only one

00:26:31.080 that matters.

00:26:32.060 Because having

00:26:32.840 a physical body,

00:26:33.940 which includes your brain,

00:26:35.840 allows you

00:26:36.840 to estimate

00:26:38.200 what somebody else

00:26:39.820 would enjoy.

00:26:41.380 And you can estimate

00:26:42.740 it in real time

00:26:43.780 in a zeitgeist

00:26:47.460 au courant way.

00:26:50.440 Those are my

00:26:51.040 douchebag words.

00:26:53.560 What that means is

00:26:54.560 something that's funny

00:26:56.200 today,

00:26:57.560 and I mean literally

00:26:58.440 today,

00:26:59.040 as in

00:26:59.700 December 1st,

00:27:01.020 2023,

00:27:02.540 won't be the same

00:27:03.700 as what's funny

00:27:05.460 in a month.

00:27:07.120 Do you get that?

00:27:09.120 They won't be the same.

00:27:11.360 What's funny

00:27:12.100 in a month

00:27:12.720 isn't the same

00:27:13.520 as what's funny now.

00:27:14.540 The reason I can guess

00:27:15.840 what's funny today

00:27:16.840 is because I have

00:27:18.640 an instrument.

00:27:20.060 My body

00:27:20.620 is my instrument.

00:27:21.840 I feel it.

00:27:23.400 I feel the zeitgeist.

00:27:24.700 The zeitgeist

00:27:25.280 is the thing

00:27:25.880 everybody's thinking,

00:27:27.340 but maybe

00:27:27.800 nobody's said it yet.

00:27:30.620 How in the world

00:27:31.540 could AI

00:27:32.700 know the zeitgeist

00:27:34.000 when by definition

00:27:35.480 it's the thing

00:27:36.240 that people are thinking,

00:27:37.960 but they haven't said?

00:27:39.820 AI learns

00:27:40.780 from what people

00:27:41.540 have said.

00:27:42.020 It literally

00:27:43.100 is trained

00:27:43.620 on things you said.

00:27:44.900 It is not trained

00:27:45.860 on things

00:27:46.280 you haven't said yet.

00:27:48.480 What's the difference

00:27:49.200 between a good joke

00:27:50.460 and a bad joke?

00:27:52.400 Let's say

00:27:53.040 we're a dad joke.

00:27:54.520 Bad or dad joke.

00:27:56.520 The bad or dad jokes

00:27:57.740 are based on

00:27:58.980 like classical humor.

00:28:01.360 Things which,

00:28:02.520 yeah,

00:28:02.680 I get it.

00:28:03.220 You had the form

00:28:04.420 of a joke.

00:28:05.480 It had an unexpected

00:28:06.720 punchline.

00:28:07.960 It met the criteria

00:28:08.980 of a joke.

00:28:09.660 Yeah,

00:28:09.820 it's pretty good.

00:28:10.300 That's a good

00:28:11.860 dad joke.

00:28:13.640 But,

00:28:14.180 to tell a

00:28:15.880 Chappelle joke,

00:28:18.200 I'll just use him

00:28:19.080 as, you know,

00:28:19.900 top of the game,

00:28:21.340 a Chappelle joke,

00:28:23.520 you think you see

00:28:25.620 it coming

00:28:26.060 and he says

00:28:28.280 something that

00:28:29.120 you were thinking

00:28:30.020 kind of,

00:28:31.360 but you never

00:28:32.040 even put it

00:28:32.580 into words.

00:28:34.620 Right?

00:28:35.380 AI can't do that.

00:28:37.080 There's no way

00:28:37.820 I can do that.

00:28:38.380 And I don't know

00:28:39.300 how it ever could

00:28:40.080 because it can't

00:28:41.400 solve the timing

00:28:42.320 problem of having

00:28:43.820 a human body

00:28:44.620 that's instantly

00:28:45.420 evaluating.

00:28:46.900 So,

00:28:47.480 you know,

00:28:47.800 people always ask,

00:28:48.660 you know,

00:28:48.800 Elon Musk,

00:28:49.560 what's going on

00:28:50.320 in your head?

00:28:51.360 He says,

00:28:51.920 you know,

00:28:52.180 basically it's terrible.

00:28:54.100 There's just too much

00:28:54.760 happening in there

00:28:55.400 and you wouldn't

00:28:56.200 want it if you could.

00:28:58.680 And I can tell you

00:28:59.620 that in my own,

00:29:00.500 my own creative world,

00:29:03.480 you know,

00:29:03.820 since my job

00:29:04.500 is to create.

00:29:06.320 On some days

00:29:07.060 I create

00:29:07.840 12 jokes

00:29:09.660 in one day.

00:29:11.720 You know,

00:29:11.920 I might have

00:29:12.640 one or two

00:29:13.180 in a Dilbert comic.

00:29:15.020 I might write

00:29:16.000 six different jokes

00:29:17.160 in one of my

00:29:17.740 Robots Read News

00:29:18.640 comics.

00:29:19.340 It's a daily comic

00:29:20.180 just for the people

00:29:21.400 on Locals.

00:29:22.740 And then I might

00:29:23.600 make three jokes

00:29:24.800 on the X platform.

00:29:27.280 And then I might

00:29:28.740 be writing something

00:29:29.540 separately

00:29:30.040 that makes the jokes.

00:29:31.520 Do you know

00:29:31.840 how hard it is

00:29:32.520 come up with

00:29:33.080 12 commercial

00:29:34.640 grade jokes a day?

00:29:37.160 It's crazy.

00:29:38.700 That's a crazy

00:29:39.420 level of productivity

00:29:40.500 artistically.

00:29:41.940 And the reason

00:29:42.540 I can do it

00:29:43.300 is that there's

00:29:44.380 a hurricane

00:29:44.920 going on in my head.

00:29:47.180 And my head

00:29:47.740 is always pitching

00:29:48.520 and criticizing.

00:29:50.320 Pitching,

00:29:50.840 criticizing,

00:29:51.320 criticizing.

00:29:51.720 It never stops.

00:29:53.100 I couldn't turn it off

00:29:54.000 if I wanted to.

00:29:55.200 Right?

00:29:55.380 It's just always on.

00:29:56.860 So I don't know

00:29:57.820 how you build

00:29:58.180 an AI to do that.

00:29:59.760 An AI would have

00:30:00.540 to put it out there

00:30:01.340 in the real world

00:30:02.180 and have people

00:30:03.260 react to it.

00:30:04.440 But it wouldn't

00:30:05.140 be able to start

00:30:06.040 with the intuition

00:30:06.960 of how you feel.

00:30:08.780 I start with the

00:30:09.820 intuition of how I feel.

00:30:12.240 How does an AI

00:30:13.040 do that?

00:30:15.520 So,

00:30:16.880 I don't know.

00:30:18.500 I think everybody

00:30:19.060 will have their own

00:30:19.680 little AI.

00:30:20.460 I think the,

00:30:21.000 I think the,

00:30:22.600 the costume,

00:30:25.900 let's say the costume

00:30:26.740 creator,

00:30:28.320 if AI created

00:30:29.440 the costumes,

00:30:30.220 you might say,

00:30:30.800 wow,

00:30:31.000 that was pretty good

00:30:31.540 for AI.

00:30:32.700 But a costume expert,

00:30:35.040 a human,

00:30:36.180 is going to know

00:30:36.980 if it looks like

00:30:38.620 an Academy Award

00:30:40.120 winning costume.

00:30:41.760 Right?

00:30:42.160 The AI is just

00:30:43.160 going to stop

00:30:43.640 when it's good enough.

00:30:44.900 Okay,

00:30:45.200 this is definitely

00:30:45.800 a costume.

00:30:47.120 This fit all

00:30:47.840 the criteria.

00:30:48.820 But the artist

00:30:49.580 is going to push it

00:30:50.660 a little further.

00:30:51.960 The artist is going

00:30:52.840 to say,

00:30:53.040 you know,

00:30:53.840 this isn't what

00:30:54.760 it really would look

00:30:55.600 like in the real world,

00:30:56.560 but I'm just going

00:30:57.840 to tweak this

00:30:59.300 a little bit

00:30:59.780 so it's real

00:31:00.840 but accentuated

00:31:02.000 in a way

00:31:02.460 and that's what

00:31:02.960 makes it special.

00:31:04.360 AI can't do that.

00:31:05.960 Same with directing.

00:31:09.420 Let's take

00:31:10.000 the simplest thing.

00:31:12.100 Let's take

00:31:12.660 the simplest thing

00:31:13.400 of editing.

00:31:14.660 You think,

00:31:15.200 oh,

00:31:15.460 but for sure

00:31:16.080 my AI will do

00:31:17.180 the editing for me.

00:31:18.480 No way.

00:31:19.300 You're going to need

00:31:19.820 a human to tell it

00:31:20.660 if it did it right

00:31:21.340 because they have

00:31:22.300 the attention span

00:31:23.140 that AI doesn't have.

00:31:25.260 All right.

00:31:26.260 Dick Durbin,

00:31:27.280 according to Jesse Waters,

00:31:29.480 either is covering up

00:31:31.140 the motion

00:31:32.620 to have a spina

00:31:33.360 to get the Epstein

00:31:34.120 flight logs

00:31:34.900 or maybe

00:31:36.060 they were just

00:31:37.060 too busy.

00:31:38.860 So,

00:31:39.480 the excuse is

00:31:40.440 they didn't have time

00:31:41.400 but we'll see

00:31:42.360 if it gets done today.

00:31:44.560 But do you think,

00:31:46.820 does it seem weird

00:31:47.600 to you

00:31:47.980 that the Epstein

00:31:48.720 flight logs

00:31:49.700 are not public?

00:31:53.140 years after

00:31:54.180 he's dead?

00:31:56.140 Yeah.

00:31:57.040 Makes you wonder.

00:31:59.580 Now,

00:32:00.040 I've told you

00:32:00.600 that when it comes

00:32:01.560 to the government

00:32:02.060 they are guilty

00:32:03.320 until proven innocent.

00:32:04.980 I would say

00:32:05.520 at this point

00:32:06.160 the weight of evidence

00:32:07.560 suggests

00:32:08.140 that we have

00:32:09.420 a black male

00:32:10.360 based government

00:32:11.260 and maybe

00:32:12.660 other countries

00:32:13.340 as well.

00:32:14.480 Would you say

00:32:15.040 that's a fair assessment

00:32:16.080 of our current government?

00:32:17.920 That it is

00:32:18.520 a black male,

00:32:20.100 fundamentally

00:32:20.780 that's the operating

00:32:21.680 system of the government

00:32:22.660 is black male.

00:32:24.580 Now,

00:32:25.020 it only makes sense

00:32:26.060 because I've told you

00:32:27.640 before

00:32:28.000 I can't see

00:32:28.920 any situation

00:32:29.820 where any company,

00:32:30.940 any country,

00:32:32.100 whether it's

00:32:32.640 the United States

00:32:33.460 or somewhere else,

00:32:34.800 if you have

00:32:35.480 a highly functional

00:32:37.640 intelligence

00:32:38.960 group within

00:32:40.560 your country,

00:32:41.800 eventually

00:32:42.300 they will take

00:32:43.000 over the leadership.

00:32:44.640 There's no way

00:32:45.480 around it.

00:32:46.460 They're trained

00:32:46.960 to do it.

00:32:48.140 They're the type

00:32:48.760 of people

00:32:49.140 who don't mind

00:32:49.760 doing it.

00:32:50.300 somebody's

00:32:51.480 going to take

00:32:51.860 a run at it

00:32:52.560 and somebody

00:32:53.340 will eventually

00:32:53.980 succeed

00:32:54.660 through blackmail.

00:32:56.780 So,

00:32:57.320 if you're a group

00:32:58.720 that knows

00:32:59.600 how to use blackmail

00:33:00.480 and has no moral

00:33:01.340 qualms about

00:33:02.100 any of it,

00:33:03.740 eventually,

00:33:04.780 they're going

00:33:05.800 to run the country.

00:33:06.840 You just don't know

00:33:07.500 if it happens

00:33:07.980 on day one

00:33:08.700 or day a thousand

00:33:10.100 or day a million,

00:33:11.440 but eventually,

00:33:12.500 there's no way

00:33:13.540 it can go

00:33:13.960 any other way.

00:33:14.580 And I would say

00:33:16.860 that the same

00:33:17.440 is probably true

00:33:18.380 for Russia

00:33:19.980 and China.

00:33:22.560 Probably.

00:33:23.560 But,

00:33:24.040 do you know

00:33:24.440 how I think

00:33:25.100 they handle it

00:33:25.940 in Russia

00:33:27.080 and China?

00:33:29.600 That as soon

00:33:30.340 as they get

00:33:30.740 blackmailed,

00:33:31.360 somebody kills them.

00:33:33.720 They just send

00:33:34.540 somebody to kill them.

00:33:35.860 Like,

00:33:36.120 even if you were

00:33:36.720 the one who

00:33:37.280 transmitted the message,

00:33:39.000 like you sat

00:33:39.620 in a room

00:33:39.940 with Xi

00:33:41.260 or Putin

00:33:41.780 and said,

00:33:42.460 you know what?

00:33:42.820 We found out

00:33:43.660 some things about you.

00:33:45.020 You'd be dead

00:33:45.840 before you hit

00:33:46.420 the hallway

00:33:46.820 and anybody

00:33:48.480 who published it

00:33:49.220 would be dead

00:33:49.700 before they ate lunch.

00:33:52.960 So,

00:33:53.320 I think maybe

00:33:54.280 in the totalitarian

00:33:55.240 countries,

00:33:56.780 they can just

00:33:57.600 murder people

00:33:58.400 until they get it done.

00:33:59.760 But,

00:34:01.020 I have this hypothesis

00:34:02.220 that that would

00:34:04.240 also cause

00:34:05.180 China and Russia 0.57

00:34:06.340 to have

00:34:07.520 bad

00:34:08.200 intelligence agencies.

00:34:11.320 That,

00:34:11.660 on average,

00:34:12.820 they probably

00:34:14.120 have to kill

00:34:14.700 all their good people

00:34:15.540 because the good people

00:34:16.480 would take over

00:34:16.980 the country

00:34:17.400 if they didn't

00:34:17.840 kill them first. 0.94

00:34:19.560 So,

00:34:19.840 it's just a guess.

00:34:21.160 But,

00:34:21.340 I'll bet the

00:34:21.720 Dunning-Kruger

00:34:22.540 incompetence level

00:34:23.820 of the Russian

00:34:24.980 and Chinese

00:34:25.840 intelligence

00:34:27.440 is off the chart.

00:34:29.580 Because,

00:34:30.100 as soon as you've

00:34:30.580 got a good operator

00:34:31.460 in there,

00:34:32.620 the leader

00:34:33.040 would have to

00:34:33.440 kill them. 0.54

00:34:35.320 Because,

00:34:35.800 otherwise,

00:34:36.340 that leader

00:34:36.720 would kill them.

00:34:38.300 Basically,

00:34:38.880 you can't,

00:34:39.460 you just can't

00:34:40.020 let somebody

00:34:40.620 capable

00:34:41.820 be in charge

00:34:42.520 of your

00:34:42.820 intelligence

00:34:43.280 or else

00:34:43.720 they'll take

00:34:44.040 over the

00:34:44.320 country.

00:34:45.520 Why wouldn't

00:34:46.100 they?

00:34:47.680 Yeah,

00:34:48.240 most of you

00:34:48.820 would

00:34:49.080 if you had

00:34:49.960 the chance.

00:34:52.120 Yeah,

00:34:52.480 so we know

00:34:52.920 that Hoover

00:34:53.340 was a

00:34:54.100 blackmailer

00:34:55.180 and,

00:34:56.280 why would

00:34:57.080 it change?

00:34:58.320 I can't imagine

00:34:58.940 it would change.

00:35:00.140 So,

00:35:00.680 I'm going to

00:35:00.980 assume that

00:35:01.400 the government

00:35:01.820 is guilty

00:35:02.520 and that

00:35:03.160 the abstinent

00:35:03.820 logs

00:35:04.400 probably are

00:35:05.480 protecting

00:35:06.280 somebody

00:35:06.900 and that

00:35:08.880 it's exactly

00:35:09.500 what it

00:35:09.840 looks like.

00:35:10.980 It's exactly

00:35:11.560 what it

00:35:11.920 looks like.

00:35:13.040 That Epstein

00:35:13.480 was a

00:35:14.180 blackmailer

00:35:15.180 for either

00:35:16.320 our intel

00:35:17.020 or maybe

00:35:18.020 Israel's 0.75

00:35:18.680 or somebody

00:35:19.060 else's.

00:35:20.060 Maybe he's

00:35:20.520 probably working

00:35:21.100 for more

00:35:21.480 than one.

00:35:22.540 Anyway,

00:35:23.380 there is

00:35:25.720 rampant

00:35:26.440 speculation

00:35:26.980 that if

00:35:28.420 Trump is

00:35:28.880 nominated,

00:35:30.340 you will

00:35:30.720 pick Tucker

00:35:31.420 Carlson

00:35:31.960 for his

00:35:32.420 VP.

00:35:33.480 How many

00:35:33.840 of you

00:35:34.080 believe that?

00:35:34.700 Do you

00:35:36.140 believe that

00:35:36.680 Trump would

00:35:37.160 pick Tucker

00:35:37.820 Carlson

00:35:38.320 for his

00:35:38.740 VP?

00:35:40.040 I'm going

00:35:40.340 to put

00:35:40.520 the odds

00:35:40.900 of that

00:35:41.180 at zero.

00:35:44.100 Everybody

00:35:44.580 on Locals

00:35:45.200 is saying

00:35:45.540 no.

00:35:46.200 Zero.

00:35:47.460 Because it

00:35:48.100 would bring

00:35:48.480 him more

00:35:48.900 heat,

00:35:49.260 not less.

00:35:52.300 Tucker

00:35:52.820 has his

00:35:53.940 own set

00:35:54.460 of

00:35:55.060 historically

00:35:56.940 huge

00:35:58.620 group of

00:36:00.400 critics.

00:36:01.420 You don't

00:36:01.760 bring that

00:36:02.280 into your

00:36:02.700 campaign.

00:36:03.140 Ben

00:36:04.960 Carson is

00:36:05.600 a ridiculous

00:36:06.080 idea,

00:36:07.140 honestly.

00:36:08.140 There's no

00:36:08.720 way he's

00:36:09.040 going to

00:36:09.200 pick Ben

00:36:09.620 Carson.

00:36:10.340 If he

00:36:10.700 picks Ben

00:36:11.180 Carson,

00:36:11.620 that's like

00:36:11.940 giving up.

00:36:13.940 Ben Carson

00:36:14.660 is like

00:36:15.200 taxidermy

00:36:18.720 more than

00:36:19.320 politics.

00:36:21.380 I need

00:36:22.240 signs of

00:36:22.780 life.

00:36:23.540 When

00:36:23.660 somebody

00:36:24.220 said he

00:36:24.700 was

00:36:24.920 considering

00:36:25.420 Ben

00:36:25.960 Carson,

00:36:26.860 I literally

00:36:27.700 said to

00:36:28.160 myself,

00:36:29.080 he's still

00:36:29.500 alive?

00:36:30.980 I thought

00:36:31.520 he passed

00:36:31.920 away.

00:36:34.540 Then compare

00:36:35.860 that to

00:36:36.740 Vivek or

00:36:38.960 DeSantis in

00:36:39.820 the unlikely

00:36:40.360 case.

00:36:42.900 There are

00:36:43.380 tons of

00:36:43.720 people who

00:36:44.060 would be

00:36:44.180 better than

00:36:45.060 Tucker.

00:36:45.600 Tucker would

00:36:46.020 be awesome

00:36:46.500 and fun,

00:36:47.460 but it

00:36:48.120 wouldn't get

00:36:48.720 Trump elected.

00:36:49.600 All right.

00:36:52.920 Ken Paxton,

00:36:54.160 AG of Texas,

00:36:55.140 is suing

00:36:55.600 Pfizer for

00:36:57.340 misrepresenting

00:36:58.240 COVID-19 vaccine

00:36:59.920 efficacy.

00:37:00.360 conspiracy and

00:37:01.800 conspiring to

00:37:02.940 censor the

00:37:04.620 public discourse.

00:37:06.820 Now, the

00:37:07.660 beauty of this

00:37:08.320 is not that

00:37:08.800 he'll necessarily

00:37:09.460 win on

00:37:10.620 anything, but

00:37:11.860 that it will

00:37:12.420 cause discovery.

00:37:14.580 So at least

00:37:15.280 the legal

00:37:16.020 system will

00:37:16.680 cause Pfizer

00:37:18.740 to tell us

00:37:19.480 everything they

00:37:20.060 know as

00:37:20.880 much as

00:37:21.260 possible.

00:37:22.300 So that

00:37:23.080 can get

00:37:23.400 interesting.

00:37:24.440 Now, I saw

00:37:24.880 a doctor say

00:37:25.580 the other

00:37:25.920 day that it

00:37:27.520 is now well

00:37:28.540 understood,

00:37:29.480 I guess that's

00:37:30.420 debatable,

00:37:31.220 that the

00:37:32.300 vaccine did

00:37:33.620 not work

00:37:34.320 enough to

00:37:36.360 make it

00:37:36.640 worthwhile for

00:37:38.020 any group

00:37:38.780 except, you

00:37:39.620 know, one

00:37:40.020 group with

00:37:40.720 comorbidities.

00:37:42.260 Does that

00:37:43.020 match your

00:37:43.940 opinion?

00:37:44.880 Would you

00:37:45.440 say that

00:37:45.880 there's still

00:37:46.440 one population

00:37:47.720 of people who

00:37:49.040 are over a

00:37:49.480 certain age and

00:37:50.840 maybe had a

00:37:51.380 comorbidity,

00:37:52.340 that they still

00:37:53.460 believe maybe it

00:37:54.720 was better,

00:37:55.280 it was more

00:37:55.680 good than

00:37:56.780 bad, maybe

00:37:58.360 there's bad

00:37:58.860 as well, but

00:38:00.080 is it true that

00:38:01.240 the consensus

00:38:02.100 is that

00:38:03.520 everybody was

00:38:04.320 worse off on

00:38:05.280 average, except

00:38:06.900 for this group

00:38:08.160 of special

00:38:08.760 people above

00:38:09.880 a certain age

00:38:10.620 and with

00:38:11.440 comorbidities?

00:38:13.340 So I'm seeing

00:38:14.160 lots of yeses,

00:38:16.000 seeing lots of

00:38:16.980 yeses, but

00:38:18.140 also some

00:38:18.660 noes.

00:38:20.960 So I guess you

00:38:21.960 could argue what

00:38:22.580 the consensus is,

00:38:23.660 but my

00:38:24.060 understanding is

00:38:24.800 that the data

00:38:25.560 still supports

00:38:27.180 the idea that

00:38:27.900 there was this

00:38:28.580 specific group of

00:38:29.800 people who

00:38:30.180 benefited on

00:38:31.000 average.

00:38:33.940 Isn't it

00:38:34.480 amazing that we

00:38:35.160 would disagree on

00:38:35.940 this?

00:38:37.480 I don't know

00:38:38.160 what's true, by

00:38:38.740 the way.

00:38:39.940 I don't know

00:38:40.380 what's true.

00:38:41.000 I do know that

00:38:41.600 doctors say that

00:38:42.520 there's one group

00:38:43.560 that probably came

00:38:44.200 in ahead.

00:38:45.100 Now, the

00:38:46.340 reason I ask is

00:38:48.000 because I'm in

00:38:48.640 that group, but

00:38:51.680 I don't know if

00:38:52.180 it's true.

00:38:53.380 Maybe we'll find

00:38:54.220 out if it's

00:38:54.600 true from this

00:38:55.100 lawsuit, but

00:38:56.240 maybe, maybe.

00:39:00.900 And I just

00:39:01.600 point out that

00:39:02.160 most of the

00:39:02.640 people who

00:39:03.180 mock me, because

00:39:04.740 I got the first

00:39:05.800 two shots, I 0.97

00:39:06.820 didn't get any

00:39:07.260 boosters after

00:39:07.880 that, but I

00:39:08.700 got the first

00:39:09.180 two, I'm in

00:39:10.900 that group.

00:39:12.720 I'm dead in the

00:39:14.300 center of the

00:39:15.140 comorbidity because

00:39:16.160 I have asthma,

00:39:17.320 which at the

00:39:18.160 time they thought

00:39:18.660 was a comorbidity.

00:39:20.760 I'm not sure it

00:39:21.540 is, but it can't

00:39:22.720 be good to have a

00:39:23.340 lung infection and

00:39:24.060 asthma at the

00:39:24.580 same time.

00:39:25.700 So, yeah, I

00:39:28.500 don't know.

00:39:29.520 Just keep that in

00:39:30.460 mind.

00:39:30.980 Keep an eye on

00:39:31.560 it.

00:39:33.480 There's a

00:39:34.340 Dutch political

00:39:37.300 commentator,

00:39:38.980 Eva

00:39:39.340 Vlardinger-Brook,

00:39:41.880 Vlardinger-Brook,

00:39:43.100 and she's

00:39:45.380 talking out, speaking

00:39:46.660 out about the

00:39:47.260 climate, climate

00:39:48.500 scam.

00:39:49.740 By the way, I

00:39:52.620 remember climate

00:39:54.240 change used to be

00:39:55.460 the thing that was

00:39:56.040 always trending on

00:39:57.120 the old Twitter, and

00:39:58.900 now what trends is

00:39:59.720 climate scam.

00:40:02.180 Climate scam is

00:40:03.780 trending on at

00:40:05.020 least my version of

00:40:06.780 it almost every day.

00:40:08.160 So it feels like

00:40:10.020 there's been like

00:40:11.180 a sort of a

00:40:13.380 quiet but

00:40:14.760 major shift.

00:40:16.980 I mean, when

00:40:17.360 Bill Gates came

00:40:18.160 out and said,

00:40:19.200 yeah, the

00:40:19.620 temperature might

00:40:20.200 go up, but we'll

00:40:20.740 handle it, I

00:40:22.680 felt like that was

00:40:23.800 when it all fell

00:40:25.080 apart.

00:40:26.620 At least the,

00:40:27.740 you know, you're

00:40:28.100 all going to die

00:40:28.640 from climate change

00:40:29.520 messaging.

00:40:30.340 I think it all

00:40:30.840 fell apart.

00:40:31.820 And then when

00:40:32.620 people realized

00:40:33.700 that nuclear power,

00:40:35.640 with all of its

00:40:36.600 problems, was a

00:40:38.300 probable solution

00:40:39.600 to a lot of

00:40:40.680 our problems, that

00:40:41.900 took away a lot

00:40:42.600 of the energy,

00:40:44.700 because we had a

00:40:45.940 solution.

00:40:46.500 We just had to

00:40:47.020 use it.

00:40:48.040 It takes all the

00:40:48.720 energy out of it.

00:40:50.000 So I think that

00:40:50.960 the momentum, or

00:40:54.320 the, let's say,

00:40:55.800 the natural swing

00:40:57.440 of the pendulum,

00:40:58.140 is that the scam

00:40:59.460 will be trending

00:41:00.200 more than, hey,

00:41:01.880 everything's falling

00:41:02.680 apart.

00:41:04.320 But I want to

00:41:05.240 tell you what

00:41:05.920 this Dutch

00:41:06.600 political commentator

00:41:07.620 who I noticed

00:41:08.720 follows me on X,

00:41:09.800 so might be

00:41:10.340 listening right now,

00:41:11.780 and saying, get to

00:41:12.680 it.

00:41:12.860 What are you going

00:41:13.220 to say about me?

00:41:14.660 So in case you're

00:41:15.340 listening, Eva, so

00:41:19.120 she said recently,

00:41:21.880 talking about the

00:41:23.420 climate scam, so

00:41:24.520 to speak, quote,

00:41:25.620 the people behind

00:41:26.360 this want to

00:41:26.960 establish a one

00:41:27.840 world government,

00:41:29.100 a new world

00:41:29.700 order, in which

00:41:30.360 they decide what

00:41:31.080 we eat, when we

00:41:32.840 eat, where we

00:41:34.040 travel, when we

00:41:35.360 travel, who we

00:41:36.380 meet, and what

00:41:37.040 we're allowed to

00:41:37.600 spend our money

00:41:38.060 on, basically

00:41:39.120 control over every

00:41:40.240 single aspect of

00:41:41.200 our lives.

00:41:42.180 They don't want

00:41:42.900 us to eat foods

00:41:43.540 that make us

00:41:43.960 strong.

00:41:44.420 They want us to

00:41:44.840 eat synthetic

00:41:45.380 meat created by

00:41:46.640 Bill Gates.

00:41:47.700 They want us to

00:41:48.280 eat bugs.

00:41:49.420 They want us to

00:41:49.980 drink soy milk so

00:41:51.020 that we'll become

00:41:51.600 weak and obedient,

00:41:52.940 and we do as

00:41:53.560 they say.

00:41:55.880 Does that sound,

00:41:57.040 I want to get a

00:41:57.840 reading of the

00:41:58.740 audience.

00:42:00.100 Is that a good

00:42:01.140 summary of reality?

00:42:02.660 How many would

00:42:04.140 say, yeah, that

00:42:04.940 sums it up.

00:42:06.380 I'm saying spot

00:42:07.240 on, yes, yes,

00:42:08.300 yes, kind of, yes,

00:42:10.040 yes, yes, yes,

00:42:10.940 yes, yes, yes,

00:42:12.560 yes, yes, yes.

00:42:13.100 So, that's right

00:42:14.820 down the middle of

00:42:15.540 what my audience

00:42:16.860 believes, right?

00:42:18.220 I don't believe any

00:42:19.180 of that.

00:42:20.480 I don't believe any

00:42:21.380 of it.

00:42:23.280 Because the

00:42:24.120 motivation part

00:42:25.420 doesn't really make

00:42:26.560 sense.

00:42:28.320 Like, I can't

00:42:29.200 imagine there's

00:42:29.720 somebody in the

00:42:30.180 room saying, if

00:42:31.660 only we can get

00:42:32.860 them to eat

00:42:33.340 bugs and soy

00:42:35.860 milk.

00:42:37.900 Do you think

00:42:38.500 there's really

00:42:38.960 somebody having

00:42:39.520 that conversation

00:42:40.300 behind closed

00:42:41.080 doors?

00:42:43.480 Really?

00:42:44.760 Let me try the

00:42:45.820 really.

00:42:47.120 You think there's

00:42:47.880 really somebody

00:42:48.540 behind closed

00:42:49.300 doors who is

00:42:50.880 planning to make

00:42:51.720 humans eat bugs,

00:42:54.220 but, hold on,

00:42:55.300 they're planning to

00:42:55.860 make humans eat

00:42:56.540 bugs, but not

00:42:57.820 because they're

00:42:58.280 planning to make

00:42:58.800 money.

00:42:59.920 You're saying

00:43:00.500 that it's more

00:43:01.200 of a philosophy.

00:43:05.880 Really?

00:43:10.340 I don't believe

00:43:11.080 any of that.

00:43:13.840 Here's why I

00:43:14.460 don't believe it.

00:43:15.140 Let me give you

00:43:15.600 a reason.

00:43:17.180 It's poor form

00:43:18.920 to say I just

00:43:19.600 don't believe it.

00:43:21.040 I need to make

00:43:21.780 my case,

00:43:22.400 wouldn't you say?

00:43:23.380 I haven't made

00:43:23.980 my case.

00:43:25.120 Here's my case.

00:43:26.840 Every bit of it

00:43:27.640 can be explained

00:43:28.360 by incompetence

00:43:29.260 plus greed.

00:43:31.620 That's it.

00:43:33.400 Yeah.

00:43:34.000 You can explain

00:43:34.740 all observations

00:43:35.740 by incompetence

00:43:36.960 plus somebody

00:43:37.800 wants to make

00:43:38.220 some money.

00:43:39.540 That's it.

00:43:40.740 Now, on top of

00:43:41.460 that, I do think

00:43:42.240 there are some

00:43:42.940 people who have

00:43:44.760 some idea of how

00:43:45.600 the world would

00:43:46.220 be better,

00:43:47.580 Bill Gates being

00:43:48.220 one of them.

00:43:49.540 But to imagine

00:43:50.520 that Bill Gates,

00:43:52.800 if he wanted to

00:43:53.680 do all these

00:43:54.220 things, do you

00:43:55.300 think he would

00:43:55.740 be conspiring

00:43:56.480 with other people,

00:43:57.380 or would Bill Gates

00:43:58.960 want to be the

00:43:59.460 one who's in

00:43:59.940 charge?

00:44:01.780 So here's what's

00:44:03.560 logically wrong

00:44:04.660 with the thing.

00:44:06.360 It imagines that

00:44:07.620 there are all

00:44:07.980 these powerful

00:44:08.640 people who are

00:44:10.600 on the same

00:44:11.100 page.

00:44:13.300 Have you ever

00:44:13.940 met powerful

00:44:14.540 people?

00:44:15.740 The one thing

00:44:16.480 you can always

00:44:17.140 say about powerful,

00:44:18.160 successful people

00:44:18.980 is they're never

00:44:20.240 on the same

00:44:20.700 page.

00:44:21.700 They're never

00:44:22.300 on the same

00:44:22.760 page.

00:44:23.740 The thing that

00:44:24.540 makes them

00:44:24.920 powerful and

00:44:25.540 successful is the

00:44:27.100 thing that says

00:44:27.720 I've got a

00:44:28.240 better idea

00:44:28.760 than you have

00:44:29.340 and that never

00:44:30.420 turns off.

00:44:31.800 Do you think

00:44:32.180 Bill Gates is

00:44:33.700 Bill Gates and

00:44:34.980 then when he

00:44:35.340 gets in a

00:44:35.780 meeting, people

00:44:37.840 push him around

00:44:38.720 and tell him

00:44:39.180 what to think?

00:44:40.400 I don't think

00:44:41.200 so.

00:44:42.380 So unless you

00:44:43.220 can find out

00:44:43.820 that there's

00:44:44.200 one powerful

00:44:44.960 person in

00:44:45.620 charge and

00:44:46.660 everybody else

00:44:47.220 is bowing to

00:44:47.980 them for some

00:44:48.660 obvious reason,

00:44:49.560 like fear or

00:44:50.440 money or

00:44:50.820 something, none

00:44:52.260 of it makes

00:44:52.660 sense.

00:44:53.540 There's no

00:44:54.020 model of human

00:44:54.860 behavior in which

00:44:56.200 the most

00:44:57.380 powerful people

00:44:58.360 by coincidence

00:45:00.020 are all part of

00:45:01.660 this major

00:45:02.260 scheme and

00:45:03.300 they all have

00:45:03.640 the same idea

00:45:04.320 about how to

00:45:04.760 run it.

00:45:05.640 Because the

00:45:06.180 real world,

00:45:07.500 anything you do

00:45:08.340 that changes the

00:45:09.140 real world,

00:45:10.200 will create

00:45:11.040 winners and

00:45:12.060 losers.

00:45:13.380 Let's see if you

00:45:14.060 agree with that

00:45:14.580 first.

00:45:15.320 Any major

00:45:16.140 change to the

00:45:17.020 whole system of

00:45:17.800 the world,

00:45:18.300 which is what

00:45:18.760 we're talking

00:45:19.160 about, a

00:45:19.820 major, major

00:45:20.540 change, will

00:45:21.780 destroy some

00:45:22.820 people, completely

00:45:24.040 put them out of

00:45:24.580 business, but

00:45:25.900 some other

00:45:26.380 people might

00:45:26.920 be able to

00:45:27.280 rise.

00:45:29.580 So do you

00:45:30.100 think that this

00:45:30.840 big collection of

00:45:31.720 bankers and

00:45:32.860 Bill Gates and

00:45:34.100 the World

00:45:35.760 Economic Forum

00:45:36.720 and all these

00:45:37.920 heads of

00:45:38.340 industries, do

00:45:39.640 you think that

00:45:40.100 they all, you

00:45:41.820 believe they're

00:45:42.260 all working

00:45:42.720 together in this

00:45:43.400 big elite thing,

00:45:44.580 do you believe

00:45:44.980 all those elites

00:45:45.920 think that they

00:45:47.120 would individually

00:45:48.040 be better off?

00:45:49.800 That's insane.

00:45:54.680 There's no real

00:45:55.700 world analogy

00:45:57.380 where you've

00:45:57.960 ever seen that

00:45:58.540 happen anywhere.

00:46:00.720 Even the

00:46:01.420 government of

00:46:02.380 every country,

00:46:03.480 let me take the

00:46:04.180 simplest example.

00:46:07.040 Pick any

00:46:07.780 country that's

00:46:08.720 a democracy,

00:46:10.660 well not even a

00:46:11.620 democracy, pick

00:46:12.660 any country,

00:46:14.040 look at their

00:46:14.740 elected leaders,

00:46:16.260 and you tell

00:46:16.700 me, all on the

00:46:18.420 same page, why

00:46:21.180 doesn't Congress

00:46:22.160 and the United

00:46:22.580 States collude so

00:46:24.580 that everyone in

00:46:25.400 Congress comes

00:46:26.960 off good and

00:46:28.260 maybe at the

00:46:28.780 expense of the

00:46:29.440 rest of the

00:46:29.780 public, but why

00:46:30.340 don't they do

00:46:30.780 that?

00:46:31.480 Why are they

00:46:32.240 against each

00:46:32.820 other and

00:46:34.060 fighting like

00:46:34.780 crazy?

00:46:35.440 Even Republicans

00:46:36.520 fight Republicans,

00:46:37.720 Democrats fight

00:46:38.420 Democrats, why?

00:46:40.520 But you believe

00:46:41.720 that although

00:46:43.080 every example in

00:46:44.820 the history of

00:46:45.460 humanity, every

00:46:46.620 example, the

00:46:48.120 powerful people

00:46:48.980 are actually

00:46:49.940 opposed to each

00:46:50.660 other, every

00:46:52.040 time, but this

00:46:53.300 is the first

00:46:53.880 exception, and

00:46:55.600 it's also the

00:46:56.180 biggest thing

00:46:56.720 ever, and

00:46:57.820 that all the

00:46:58.900 elites are kind

00:47:00.380 of on the same

00:47:01.000 page, if we can

00:47:01.740 get them to eat

00:47:02.400 bugs, they'll

00:47:03.840 buy more oil, or

00:47:05.600 whatever it is.

00:47:06.760 If we can get

00:47:07.480 them to eat bugs,

00:47:08.680 then we'll be

00:47:10.140 able to raise

00:47:10.680 their taxes?

00:47:12.480 If we can get

00:47:13.400 them to have

00:47:14.300 enough soy, they 0.99

00:47:15.920 won't, my own

00:47:18.140 military won't be 0.64

00:47:19.160 able to fight, I

00:47:20.840 don't think soy

00:47:21.420 does that to

00:47:21.980 you, but none

00:47:24.320 of this tracks.

00:47:26.460 None of this

00:47:27.040 makes sense, even

00:47:28.480 in a general

00:47:30.000 directional sense.

00:47:32.480 None of it

00:47:32.860 makes sense.

00:47:33.520 Because it

00:47:34.060 assumes something

00:47:34.760 about human

00:47:35.360 behavior that's

00:47:36.920 absurd.

00:47:38.560 What is the

00:47:39.220 thing that you

00:47:39.720 always say about

00:47:40.820 why Marxism and

00:47:42.540 socialism doesn't

00:47:43.440 work?

00:47:45.580 Sometimes we

00:47:46.340 say it creates

00:47:47.140 dictators, but

00:47:48.280 the real reason

00:47:49.000 is that it

00:47:50.220 ignores human

00:47:51.200 behavior.

00:47:53.740 Humans are

00:47:54.420 very predictable.

00:47:56.540 If you say,

00:47:57.400 you know what,

00:47:58.320 if you work

00:47:59.000 harder than

00:47:59.540 your peers,

00:48:00.920 you're not going

00:48:01.680 to get anything

00:48:02.200 extra, but you'll

00:48:03.440 get to share what

00:48:04.240 you made with

00:48:04.780 everybody.

00:48:05.960 Will people work

00:48:06.840 as hard as if

00:48:08.220 you say, hey,

00:48:09.060 you're going to

00:48:09.420 be a superstar,

00:48:10.680 and you'll be

00:48:11.220 better than

00:48:11.600 everybody, and

00:48:12.180 you'll have more

00:48:12.600 stuff if you

00:48:13.140 work hard,

00:48:13.960 there's no

00:48:14.940 question which

00:48:15.500 one works.

00:48:17.040 The reason

00:48:17.580 capitalism makes

00:48:18.540 more stuff than

00:48:19.920 socialism or

00:48:21.000 communism is that

00:48:22.960 it's just a

00:48:23.340 better system.

00:48:24.880 But suddenly,

00:48:26.560 suddenly, an

00:48:28.180 entire 100,000

00:48:29.240 years of

00:48:29.900 consistent human

00:48:30.840 behavior suddenly

00:48:32.420 changed because

00:48:34.040 of the World

00:48:34.820 Economic Forum

00:48:35.680 and climate

00:48:36.800 change or

00:48:37.260 something.

00:48:38.200 Now, there

00:48:38.560 isn't any

00:48:39.160 chance, there

00:48:40.620 isn't any

00:48:41.200 chance that

00:48:41.780 there's anybody

00:48:42.400 plotting to

00:48:43.560 make you drink

00:48:44.100 soy milk and

00:48:45.000 eat bugs.

00:48:46.600 The people who

00:48:47.520 want you to

00:48:47.900 eat bugs, if

00:48:49.380 they exist, are

00:48:51.420 probably two

00:48:52.620 types.

00:48:53.320 There's somebody

00:48:53.820 in the bug-eating

00:48:54.700 business who

00:48:55.740 wants to make

00:48:56.220 money, so

00:48:57.600 they're seeding

00:48:58.860 the media with

00:48:59.840 stories, and

00:49:00.560 they're trying to

00:49:01.680 get it in.

00:49:04.420 So there's

00:49:04.880 clearly a commercial

00:49:06.460 factor here,

00:49:08.040 obviously.

00:49:08.620 nothing gets

00:49:10.000 this much

00:49:10.400 attention unless

00:49:14.000 somebody's tried

00:49:14.560 to make money

00:49:15.060 off it.

00:49:16.160 The news

00:49:16.660 doesn't just

00:49:17.200 tell you what's

00:49:17.720 interesting, they

00:49:18.920 tell you what

00:49:19.480 somebody who

00:49:20.020 makes money

00:49:20.560 wanted them to

00:49:21.300 say.

00:49:21.740 That's how it

00:49:22.180 works when it's

00:49:23.580 about commerce.

00:49:26.920 And, yeah, if

00:49:29.940 you don't

00:49:30.540 understand, and

00:49:31.820 then on the

00:49:32.800 other side, people

00:49:33.620 like the World

00:49:34.180 Economic Forum,

00:49:35.040 there are

00:49:36.180 people who

00:49:36.680 like to tell

00:49:37.300 you the

00:49:37.760 interesting thing

00:49:38.740 that they heard

00:49:39.400 that's in the

00:49:39.880 news, maybe it's

00:49:41.320 futuristic, maybe

00:49:42.440 it's forward-looking.

00:49:43.720 So some people

00:49:44.280 like to talk

00:49:44.860 about the

00:49:45.600 potential of

00:49:46.320 things to come.

00:49:47.860 Well, it

00:49:48.140 doesn't mean they

00:49:48.880 need it or want

00:49:50.120 it, or it's the

00:49:50.780 only thing that

00:49:51.340 could happen, or

00:49:52.060 they're going to

00:49:52.420 force you to do

00:49:53.180 it.

00:49:53.860 None of that.

00:49:56.140 Yeah.

00:49:56.860 So one of the

00:49:58.480 things that

00:49:59.120 conservatives

00:50:00.160 universally have

00:50:01.860 as, I would

00:50:02.500 say, a blind

00:50:03.100 spot, is that

00:50:04.880 people are not

00:50:05.540 that coordinated.

00:50:08.040 To me, that's

00:50:08.880 the big blind

00:50:09.480 spot.

00:50:10.640 Now, there are

00:50:11.340 definitely things

00:50:11.980 that seem

00:50:12.380 coordinated.

00:50:13.200 In other words,

00:50:13.820 the deep state

00:50:15.280 does seem to

00:50:16.420 act like one

00:50:17.420 big blob, but

00:50:19.340 when you look at

00:50:19.880 the deep state,

00:50:21.300 are not their 0.95

00:50:22.040 motivations the

00:50:23.120 obvious ones that

00:50:24.120 people have always

00:50:24.760 had?

00:50:26.180 Obvious.

00:50:26.960 They want their

00:50:27.560 side to win,

00:50:28.900 they want good

00:50:29.660 jobs and power,

00:50:31.260 and it's all

00:50:31.740 obvious.

00:50:33.020 So when you're

00:50:33.580 looking at the

00:50:34.080 blob or the

00:50:34.860 deep state, and

00:50:36.260 you've got a

00:50:36.680 conspiracy theory

00:50:37.680 about, hey, I

00:50:39.020 think the intel

00:50:39.940 people are

00:50:40.480 working with

00:50:41.060 the media, and

00:50:42.300 the media might

00:50:42.900 be working with

00:50:43.480 the Democrats,

00:50:44.400 that's all

00:50:44.960 observable.

00:50:46.080 It's not only

00:50:46.920 directly observable,

00:50:48.600 proven in

00:50:49.380 documents and

00:50:50.920 leaks and

00:50:52.360 whistleblowers,

00:50:53.300 and everything.

00:50:53.660 So you've got

00:50:54.040 tons of direct

00:50:55.300 evidence, but it

00:50:56.740 also completely

00:50:57.920 fits the greed

00:51:00.460 and selfishness

00:51:01.700 model that

00:51:03.100 explains all

00:51:03.860 human activity

00:51:04.580 forever.

00:51:05.920 But if you

00:51:06.360 tell me there's

00:51:06.880 somebody sitting

00:51:07.460 in a room who

00:51:08.520 wants you to

00:51:08.960 eat bugs and

00:51:09.520 drink soy

00:51:09.980 milk, unless

00:51:11.420 they're making

00:51:12.720 money from bugs

00:51:13.540 and soy

00:51:13.940 milk, no.

00:51:16.860 No, that's

00:51:17.680 not happening.

00:51:20.320 Anyway, that's

00:51:21.080 my opinion.

00:51:21.520 But I do

00:51:24.940 think climate

00:51:25.420 is a scam.

00:51:28.440 All right,

00:51:29.720 Gavin Newsom

00:51:30.360 and DeSantis

00:51:31.260 had a debate.

00:51:33.700 Hannity was

00:51:34.480 the moderator.

00:51:36.860 I tried to

00:51:37.580 watch it.

00:51:38.880 Let me tell you

00:51:39.460 when I bailed

00:51:40.080 out.

00:51:42.480 DeSantis

00:51:43.000 says, hey,

00:51:44.740 can you

00:51:45.020 explain why

00:51:45.800 everybody keeps

00:51:46.780 moving out of

00:51:47.680 California and

00:51:48.520 moving to my

00:51:49.140 state in Florida?

00:51:49.920 Florida, so

00:51:50.880 therefore I'm

00:51:51.480 the winner because

00:51:52.640 the people are

00:51:53.120 voting with their

00:51:53.720 feet.

00:51:54.300 The people in

00:51:54.820 your state,

00:51:55.420 they're all, you

00:51:56.260 know, it's the

00:51:57.080 most U-Hauls

00:51:57.980 they've ever used.

00:51:59.140 They're all

00:51:59.540 coming to

00:51:59.920 Florida.

00:52:00.640 And what does

00:52:01.200 DeSantis say to

00:52:02.060 that?

00:52:05.240 DeSantis, I'm

00:52:06.080 sorry, what does

00:52:06.960 Newsom say?

00:52:08.480 Here's what

00:52:08.860 Newsom says.

00:52:10.080 No, they're not.

00:52:11.320 They're moving from

00:52:12.280 Florida to

00:52:12.840 California.

00:52:13.360 That's when I

00:52:18.000 turned it off.

00:52:19.640 Because I

00:52:20.240 realized that it

00:52:21.380 was the format

00:52:22.040 that's the

00:52:22.460 problem.

00:52:22.960 How many times

00:52:23.580 have I told

00:52:23.980 you?

00:52:24.960 If somebody

00:52:25.860 can win a

00:52:26.520 debate by

00:52:27.680 saying something

00:52:28.380 absolutely

00:52:29.040 fucking ridiculous

00:52:30.180 because half of

00:52:33.080 the public

00:52:33.480 doesn't have

00:52:34.120 access to the

00:52:34.880 news, they

00:52:36.200 only have

00:52:36.540 access to

00:52:37.620 propaganda,

00:52:39.620 DeSantis could

00:52:40.440 lie all day

00:52:41.260 long, and

00:52:43.480 Republicans would

00:52:44.380 think what they

00:52:44.980 thought of him

00:52:45.520 all along, it

00:52:46.180 wouldn't change,

00:52:47.600 and Democrats

00:52:48.400 would say, hey,

00:52:49.060 that was pretty

00:52:49.560 brave, he went

00:52:50.240 into the lion's

00:52:50.980 den and you

00:52:52.080 roughed up

00:52:52.580 DeSantis.

00:52:53.360 Good job.

00:52:55.240 Newsom totally

00:52:55.880 won.

00:52:57.960 Newsom totally

00:52:59.920 won.

00:53:01.060 Did he say

00:53:01.600 anything that

00:53:02.200 was true?

00:53:03.120 Probably not.

00:53:05.000 Did DeSantis do

00:53:06.020 a better job of

00:53:07.180 making arguments

00:53:08.480 based on facts?

00:53:10.560 Probably.

00:53:11.820 Did that help

00:53:12.500 him?

00:53:13.400 No.

00:53:15.240 Didn't make

00:53:15.980 any difference.

00:53:17.220 Read the

00:53:17.940 review, it's

00:53:18.340 the exact thing

00:53:19.360 you'd expect,

00:53:20.100 right?

00:53:20.560 Democrats say

00:53:21.440 Newsom won,

00:53:22.780 Republicans,

00:53:23.540 maybe they

00:53:23.940 like DeSantis

00:53:24.560 more.

00:53:27.360 But no, as

00:53:28.420 long as DeSantis

00:53:29.160 can just deny

00:53:30.060 reality, and

00:53:31.360 nobody knows the

00:53:32.100 difference on

00:53:32.680 his team, he

00:53:34.220 wins.

00:53:35.460 He wins.

00:53:36.880 So Newsom

00:53:37.440 won, hands

00:53:38.280 down, simply

00:53:39.460 by showing

00:53:40.020 up and

00:53:40.600 smiling and

00:53:42.600 lying and

00:53:43.740 doing his

00:53:44.180 thing.

00:53:45.260 But what

00:53:45.720 else did we

00:53:46.100 learn about

00:53:46.480 this?

00:53:47.820 DeSantis says

00:53:48.620 that Gavin

00:53:49.100 Newsom's own

00:53:49.780 father-in-law

00:53:50.420 fled from

00:53:51.860 California to

00:53:53.320 live in

00:53:53.740 Florida.

00:53:56.300 Now, that's

00:53:57.540 kind of a

00:53:57.980 funny gotcha,

00:53:59.220 but it doesn't

00:53:59.940 win you any

00:54:00.440 debates.

00:54:01.720 Because as a

00:54:02.680 human being,

00:54:03.240 you listen to

00:54:03.820 that story and

00:54:04.440 you say to

00:54:04.860 yourself,

00:54:05.640 okay, there

00:54:06.060 could be a

00:54:06.420 lot of

00:54:06.640 reasons for

00:54:07.100 that.

00:54:08.940 That's not

00:54:09.480 exactly a

00:54:11.280 kill shot.

00:54:11.780 It's fun.

00:54:12.900 It's fun.

00:54:13.520 You might

00:54:13.800 remember it,

00:54:14.400 but it's not

00:54:14.700 really a

00:54:15.040 kill shot.

00:54:18.160 And then I

00:54:18.560 guess Newsom

00:54:21.340 said his

00:54:21.740 lockdowns were

00:54:22.480 great, and he

00:54:23.020 saved lives.

00:54:24.920 And the

00:54:25.720 trouble with

00:54:26.540 the, and of

00:54:28.560 course nobody on

00:54:29.220 the right believes

00:54:29.800 that.

00:54:30.120 They think it's

00:54:30.520 the opposite.

00:54:31.100 Everything he

00:54:31.540 did killed

00:54:31.980 people, ruined

00:54:32.960 children, and all

00:54:33.680 that.

00:54:33.840 But debates

00:54:35.480 are worthless.

00:54:37.500 This could not

00:54:38.400 have been more

00:54:38.920 worthless, because

00:54:40.300 you'd never get

00:54:41.420 to fact check

00:54:41.960 anything.

00:54:42.820 I've said it a

00:54:43.700 million times.

00:54:45.400 Somebody's going

00:54:46.000 to create a

00:54:46.800 debate show in

00:54:49.320 which the fact

00:54:50.080 checkers are part

00:54:50.900 of the debate, and

00:54:52.300 each team has

00:54:53.020 their own, and

00:54:54.300 the host has

00:54:54.920 their own.

00:54:56.160 So that if a

00:54:57.700 fact comes up,

00:54:58.520 instead of this

00:54:59.880 bullshit where you

00:55:01.280 can just claim it's

00:55:02.160 true and run out

00:55:03.060 the clock,

00:55:03.840 you stop.

00:55:05.440 You say, all

00:55:06.160 right, there's a

00:55:06.740 fact check, and

00:55:08.020 then they both

00:55:08.580 show their

00:55:08.960 sources, and

00:55:10.220 then maybe the

00:55:10.980 moderator says,

00:55:12.080 all right, I'm

00:55:13.120 going to rule

00:55:13.620 that neither of

00:55:16.180 them are reliable,

00:55:17.320 or it's a jump

00:55:19.280 ball, so make

00:55:20.260 your own decision

00:55:20.920 at home, or one

00:55:22.020 of these is just

00:55:22.600 wrong.

00:55:23.580 Now one of them

00:55:24.080 just lied.

00:55:25.700 Now that's a

00:55:26.400 debate.

00:55:27.900 I'd watch that all

00:55:28.900 day long, even if

00:55:29.700 it took longer,

00:55:30.340 because you

00:55:31.140 could do it

00:55:31.580 live when it's

00:55:32.480 a little slow

00:55:33.120 because it

00:55:33.600 slows down with

00:55:34.400 the false

00:55:35.000 claims, but

00:55:36.360 then when you

00:55:36.860 edit it together,

00:55:38.060 you just fast

00:55:38.740 forward the

00:55:39.320 fact checking to

00:55:40.560 get to the end

00:55:41.580 of it, and

00:55:42.840 that would be

00:55:43.360 great.

00:55:44.160 Imagine a fast

00:55:45.220 forward through

00:55:45.860 all the fact

00:55:46.600 checking, but

00:55:47.460 they always have

00:55:48.040 to stop when

00:55:48.620 there's a fact

00:55:49.140 check.

00:55:50.180 That would be a

00:55:50.980 debate.

00:55:51.680 That'd be fun.

00:55:54.440 All right, we

00:55:55.100 have a moron

00:55:56.060 here, moron, Jason

00:56:00.760 Ferris.

00:56:02.060 Claude, get

00:56:03.260 your Booster

00:56:03.900 items.

00:56:05.040 So Jason fell

00:56:06.300 for the 4chan

00:56:07.600 hoax that

00:56:09.040 reversed all of

00:56:09.920 my opinions on

00:56:11.260 the pandemic.

00:56:12.720 Jason, you

00:56:13.400 should be very

00:56:13.900 embarrassed about

00:56:15.320 falling for that.

00:56:19.040 All right.

00:56:22.700 So here's

00:56:23.560 some, oh,

00:56:24.100 then DeSantis

00:56:24.720 held up the

00:56:25.480 so-called poop

00:56:26.320 map of San

00:56:27.140 Francisco.

00:56:28.400 So it's a map

00:56:29.240 where there was

00:56:29.820 an app where

00:56:30.820 you could report

00:56:31.800 if there was

00:56:32.600 human feces on

00:56:33.620 the sidewalk

00:56:34.120 somewhere so

00:56:35.280 people could

00:56:35.740 stay away.

00:56:36.760 But what

00:56:37.120 happened was

00:56:37.680 the entire map

00:56:38.460 turned brown

00:56:39.160 because there

00:56:40.180 were so many

00:56:40.720 reports of

00:56:42.440 feces on

00:56:42.940 sidewalks that

00:56:44.040 you couldn't

00:56:44.320 even use it.

00:56:44.860 It was just

00:56:45.140 brown.

00:56:47.460 Now, remember

00:56:48.800 I said that

00:56:49.560 persuasion is

00:56:50.980 visual.

00:56:52.820 So DeSantis

00:56:53.380 holds up the

00:56:54.600 map so you

00:56:56.820 can see this

00:56:57.280 big pile of

00:56:58.040 shit.

00:56:59.400 And he holds

00:57:00.160 it up next

00:57:00.640 to his face

00:57:01.340 and that

00:57:04.680 was his

00:57:05.100 persuasion.

00:57:05.700 I know what

00:57:13.680 he was going

00:57:14.220 for.

00:57:15.980 Now, what

00:57:17.080 he was aiming

00:57:17.620 for was a

00:57:19.160 good visual

00:57:19.720 persuasion, a

00:57:20.860 moment that

00:57:21.500 people would

00:57:22.060 remember that

00:57:23.200 would really

00:57:23.640 brand Newsom

00:57:25.580 as a bad

00:57:27.120 governor.

00:57:28.300 what it

00:57:31.140 made instead

00:57:31.920 was an

00:57:32.440 association of

00:57:33.440 Ron DeSantis

00:57:34.260 and a

00:57:34.680 giant pile

00:57:35.220 of shit.

00:57:37.220 The visual

00:57:38.260 persuasion

00:57:38.940 doesn't live

00:57:40.340 completely on

00:57:41.240 its own.

00:57:42.780 You can't

00:57:43.420 make the

00:57:43.720 other mistakes.

00:57:44.860 You don't

00:57:45.320 want to

00:57:45.620 associate

00:57:46.040 yourself with

00:57:46.960 something that's

00:57:47.600 disgusting.

00:57:49.640 So what I'll

00:57:50.780 remember about

00:57:51.460 that is Ron

00:57:52.500 DeSantis,

00:57:53.780 his big old

00:57:54.560 head here,

00:57:55.520 and a

00:57:56.900 big old

00:57:57.240 pile of

00:57:57.660 shit right

00:57:58.020 next to

00:57:58.420 it.

00:57:59.340 That's what

00:57:59.960 I remember.

00:58:00.980 I already

00:58:01.620 knew that

00:58:03.000 San Francisco

00:58:03.720 had some

00:58:04.160 problems.

00:58:05.060 So I learned

00:58:05.580 nothing new

00:58:06.120 from that.

00:58:07.100 So nothing

00:58:07.520 changed because

00:58:08.520 I know that

00:58:09.040 San Francisco

00:58:09.540 has problems.

00:58:11.140 But now in

00:58:11.880 my head, I've

00:58:13.720 got a pile of

00:58:14.420 shit in DeSantis'

00:58:15.600 head and I

00:58:16.200 can't unsee

00:58:16.800 it.

00:58:18.040 Yeah.

00:58:18.680 That's visual

00:58:19.380 persuasion done

00:58:20.900 as wrong as

00:58:21.600 you could do

00:58:22.000 it.

00:58:23.840 But I

00:58:24.440 asked myself,

00:58:25.060 and you

00:58:27.420 should ask

00:58:27.760 yourself,

00:58:28.520 if Trump

00:58:29.180 had done

00:58:29.620 this, would

00:58:30.420 I feel

00:58:30.740 differently?

00:58:34.520 Yes.

00:58:35.600 You know

00:58:36.160 why?

00:58:37.180 Because for

00:58:37.800 Trump it

00:58:38.200 would be on

00:58:38.620 brand.

00:58:40.380 Yeah, it

00:58:40.680 would be on

00:58:41.080 brand.

00:58:41.780 But Trump

00:58:42.520 doesn't like to

00:58:43.160 do gross

00:58:43.780 stuff.

00:58:45.680 Right?

00:58:46.120 Trump has

00:58:46.680 like a, you

00:58:47.880 know, he's

00:58:48.120 not even a

00:58:48.580 big fan of

00:58:49.400 shaking hands.

00:58:50.760 So I don't

00:58:52.100 think he would

00:58:52.620 hold up a

00:58:53.120 big pile of

00:58:53.740 human feces

00:58:54.540 and say,

00:58:55.780 hey, remember

00:58:56.820 me, remember

00:58:58.000 this pile of

00:58:58.640 feces. 0.89

00:58:59.380 That would be

00:59:00.140 opposite of

00:59:00.900 Trump's

00:59:01.240 personality.

00:59:01.880 I can't

00:59:02.200 imagine him

00:59:02.620 doing it.

00:59:03.400 But if he

00:59:03.840 did, because

00:59:05.860 it's Trump, it

00:59:07.100 would seem

00:59:07.440 funnier.

00:59:10.520 See, the

00:59:11.120 problem is that

00:59:11.780 DeSantis, if he

00:59:12.760 does something

00:59:13.280 that's out of

00:59:14.080 brand, because

00:59:15.620 that was a

00:59:16.000 little bit

00:59:16.360 out of

00:59:16.680 brand.

00:59:17.860 DeSantis is

00:59:18.560 just the, he's

00:59:19.540 the accountant

00:59:20.180 who's not going

00:59:20.840 to make a

00:59:21.240 mistake.

00:59:22.200 He's going to

00:59:22.640 tell you what

00:59:23.040 he's going

00:59:23.320 to do, and

00:59:23.720 then he's

00:59:23.980 going to

00:59:24.180 do it, and

00:59:25.200 you'll be

00:59:25.520 pretty happy

00:59:25.980 about it, like

00:59:26.820 he's an

00:59:27.120 operator, and

00:59:28.780 good, probably

00:59:29.960 one of the

00:59:30.280 best governors

00:59:30.840 of all time.

00:59:33.800 But if

00:59:34.340 you're a

00:59:34.660 showman, and

00:59:35.940 people say,

00:59:36.580 okay, what is

00:59:38.400 the guy who's

00:59:38.880 bringing the

00:59:39.420 show going to

00:59:40.040 show me?

00:59:40.920 Well, you

00:59:41.580 might look at

00:59:42.020 it differently,

00:59:42.580 but it would

00:59:42.920 still be a

00:59:43.720 mistake.

00:59:47.060 All right, you

00:59:47.740 know all those

00:59:48.240 January 6th

00:59:49.580 depositions that

00:59:50.560 the committee,

00:59:51.260 the congressional

00:59:51.980 committee got,

00:59:53.620 and now the

00:59:55.600 Republicans would

00:59:56.400 like to get a

00:59:56.900 copy of all the

00:59:57.520 ones that we

00:59:57.940 didn't see,

00:59:59.040 because there

00:59:59.480 were a lot of

00:59:59.860 depositions that

01:00:00.660 were not public,

01:00:02.040 and wouldn't you

01:00:02.760 like to know,

01:00:03.700 you know, whatever

01:00:04.380 the committee

01:00:04.820 knew?

01:00:05.820 Yeah.

01:00:08.360 They're all

01:00:08.880 missing.

01:00:10.180 Every one of

01:00:10.880 them.

01:00:16.640 Every one of the

01:00:17.420 deposition videos.

01:00:18.500 not some of

01:00:20.420 them, not

01:00:22.000 some of them,

01:00:23.400 every one of

01:00:24.200 them is gone.

01:00:26.440 What should you

01:00:27.280 assume about

01:00:27.880 that?

01:00:29.840 Well, if this

01:00:31.820 were a case about

01:00:32.720 an individual

01:00:33.700 American citizen,

01:00:35.060 I'd say, well,

01:00:36.040 that person is

01:00:36.700 innocent until

01:00:37.520 proven guilty.

01:00:38.760 That's our

01:00:39.260 standard.

01:00:39.780 We should not

01:00:40.240 change that.

01:00:42.300 But what happens

01:00:43.280 when it's a

01:00:43.820 government, and

01:00:45.520 the government

01:00:45.980 does something

01:00:46.640 that every

01:00:47.220 single person

01:00:48.120 who sees it

01:00:49.040 says, well,

01:00:49.980 that's a little

01:00:50.500 sketchy and

01:00:51.360 corrupt-looking.

01:00:53.080 What should you

01:00:53.760 assume?

01:00:55.280 You should assume

01:00:55.940 guilt.

01:00:57.040 Yeah.

01:00:57.380 Doesn't mean it.

01:00:58.400 Doesn't mean it's

01:00:59.100 not a mistake.

01:00:59.880 Could be a mistake.

01:01:01.260 But you should

01:01:01.740 assume guilt.

01:01:03.500 Because that's

01:01:04.180 the better system.

01:01:06.180 So I'm going to

01:01:06.740 assume that the

01:01:08.000 January 6th

01:01:08.840 committee was as

01:01:09.720 corrupt as they

01:01:10.460 looked.

01:01:11.180 I mean, they

01:01:11.560 looked corrupt

01:01:12.340 without even

01:01:12.880 knowing this.

01:01:13.560 But I would say

01:01:14.100 this is confirmation

01:01:14.900 of their corruption.

01:01:16.640 And I think

01:01:17.020 the January 6th

01:01:17.860 committee committed

01:01:19.460 a worse crime

01:01:20.540 than anybody

01:01:21.200 did on January

01:01:21.940 6th.

01:01:23.160 I think the

01:01:23.960 committee committed

01:01:25.540 a far worse

01:01:26.420 crime than even

01:01:27.840 the people who

01:01:28.440 did violence.

01:01:30.340 Even the people

01:01:31.200 who did violence,

01:01:31.960 I'm including

01:01:32.420 them, were not

01:01:33.740 nearly as bad as

01:01:34.760 what the January

01:01:35.380 6th committee

01:01:36.180 attempted to do.

01:01:37.620 Because the

01:01:38.260 violence, as bad

01:01:39.040 as it was,

01:01:39.820 clearly a tragedy.

01:01:41.180 We have empathy

01:01:41.840 for the victims.

01:01:43.100 I'm not making

01:01:43.880 light of victims.

01:01:44.900 But they were

01:01:46.900 individuals, and

01:01:48.700 there weren't

01:01:48.980 that many of

01:01:49.600 them.

01:01:52.040 But when you

01:01:52.880 corrupt the

01:01:53.420 country, the

01:01:54.420 entire system, as

01:01:56.020 grossly as the

01:01:57.040 January 6th

01:01:57.800 committee, even

01:02:00.660 without the

01:02:01.240 bloodshed, I've

01:02:03.980 got to say it's

01:02:04.480 worse.

01:02:06.180 If you found

01:02:07.140 out that the

01:02:07.860 republic were

01:02:09.060 overthrown

01:02:10.500 tomorrow, you

01:02:12.100 wouldn't say to

01:02:12.580 yourself, well,

01:02:13.140 nobody died.

01:02:13.780 you'd say, okay,

01:02:15.400 that's worse.

01:02:16.560 Because, you

01:02:17.000 know, down the

01:02:17.540 road, it's going

01:02:18.040 to be much

01:02:18.420 worse, you

01:02:18.840 know.

01:02:21.140 So that's

01:02:21.740 probably exactly

01:02:22.300 what it looks

01:02:22.700 like.

01:02:23.100 Kyle Becker

01:02:23.820 again, reporting

01:02:24.860 on that.

01:02:26.980 Chris Cuomo

01:02:29.120 went on the

01:02:30.840 Patrick

01:02:32.540 Ben David

01:02:34.760 show, do I

01:02:35.480 have his name

01:02:35.920 right, podcast,

01:02:38.180 and here's

01:02:40.120 what he said.

01:02:42.900 This is

01:02:43.500 Cuomo, Chris

01:02:44.260 Cuomo.

01:02:44.680 He said, as

01:02:45.320 Patrick says, the

01:02:46.600 data is the

01:02:47.100 data.

01:02:47.500 Nobody was

01:02:48.060 trying to kill

01:02:48.600 us when Trump

01:02:49.280 was president in

01:02:50.680 a way that they're

01:02:51.900 not now.

01:02:53.400 In a way that

01:02:54.280 they're not now.

01:02:55.080 I think that's a

01:02:55.740 typo.

01:02:56.080 If anything,

01:02:57.320 there's more

01:02:57.760 hostility.

01:02:59.400 So PBD says,

01:03:01.440 so you're open

01:03:02.280 to a Trump

01:03:02.860 vote?

01:03:05.080 This is Chris

01:03:05.800 Cuomo, who had

01:03:07.340 been on CNN

01:03:07.960 until he went to

01:03:08.740 News Nation.

01:03:09.840 And Cuomo

01:03:10.200 says, I am

01:03:11.320 always open.

01:03:13.560 And I'll tell

01:03:14.160 you this, people

01:03:15.220 say, oh,

01:03:16.560 oh, bullshit.

01:03:18.160 You're never

01:03:18.840 voting for a

01:03:19.500 Republican in

01:03:20.060 your life.

01:03:21.360 And Cuomo

01:03:21.700 says, wrong.

01:03:23.100 And not only

01:03:23.860 have I, the

01:03:24.740 first vote I

01:03:25.360 ever cast was

01:03:25.980 for a

01:03:26.320 Republican.

01:03:27.900 All right, let's

01:03:28.420 do a test.

01:03:29.960 Do you believe

01:03:30.620 that he's telling

01:03:31.220 the truth, that

01:03:31.900 he would consider,

01:03:32.860 he's not saying

01:03:33.420 he would vote

01:03:33.880 for him, but

01:03:34.740 that he would

01:03:35.260 seriously consider

01:03:36.220 voting for

01:03:36.660 Trump?

01:03:41.500 You're very

01:03:42.140 mixed.

01:03:43.360 I see lots of

01:03:44.100 yeses and lots

01:03:44.760 of nos.

01:03:46.460 I'm going to

01:03:47.000 tell you the

01:03:47.440 definitive answer

01:03:48.160 to this.

01:03:50.460 Because, so

01:03:51.760 Chris Cuomo

01:03:52.320 was among the

01:03:54.960 first,

01:03:55.340 you can say

01:03:56.480 the first,

01:03:57.580 major news

01:03:59.260 person who

01:04:00.860 asked to talk

01:04:01.640 to me after

01:04:02.160 I got

01:04:02.460 canceled.

01:04:03.580 Now, it

01:04:04.420 took him some

01:04:05.040 convincing, so

01:04:06.600 we had some

01:04:07.580 extensive private

01:04:08.780 conversations before

01:04:09.840 I appeared.

01:04:11.260 And I'm not

01:04:12.400 going to tell you

01:04:12.820 my private

01:04:13.380 conversations, but

01:04:14.820 I will tell you

01:04:15.660 with certainty,

01:04:17.680 he means it,

01:04:18.320 with certainty.

01:04:21.980 Based on private

01:04:23.140 conversations, with

01:04:25.200 certainty, he

01:04:26.460 means that he's

01:04:27.100 open to it.

01:04:27.960 Now, again, I want

01:04:28.640 to be clear.

01:04:29.460 I'm not saying that

01:04:30.440 he's certainly

01:04:31.620 voting for Trump,

01:04:32.560 nothing like that.

01:04:33.840 I'm saying that he

01:04:34.900 is absolutely

01:04:35.720 open to the

01:04:37.320 argument.

01:04:39.100 And again, if you

01:04:40.640 didn't talk to him

01:04:41.260 personally, you

01:04:42.580 wouldn't have any

01:04:43.140 sense of that,

01:04:43.800 because you're

01:04:44.260 only seeing the

01:04:44.760 public version.

01:04:45.980 But keep in

01:04:46.540 mind, what's

01:04:48.340 the worst thing

01:04:48.960 that happened to

01:04:49.700 Chris Cuomo

01:04:50.480 professionally?

01:04:52.800 And who did

01:04:53.600 it to him?

01:04:54.660 It wasn't

01:04:55.340 Republicans.

01:04:56.580 Getting canceled

01:04:57.460 on CNN was the

01:04:59.100 worst thing that's

01:04:59.720 ever happened to

01:05:00.300 him, and that

01:05:01.060 was purely

01:05:01.660 Democrats.

01:05:03.980 Right?

01:05:05.200 And do you

01:05:06.020 know what I

01:05:06.420 said when he

01:05:07.260 was getting in

01:05:07.800 trouble for, you

01:05:09.240 know, helping his

01:05:09.900 brother, the

01:05:10.460 governor of New

01:05:11.160 York?

01:05:12.000 I said, that's

01:05:13.240 bullshit.

01:05:14.520 He can help

01:05:15.100 his brother all

01:05:15.920 day long.

01:05:17.220 I don't care if

01:05:17.840 there's a conflict

01:05:18.480 of interest.

01:05:19.060 Everybody knows.

01:05:20.380 That's the most

01:05:21.100 obvious conflict of

01:05:22.660 interest.

01:05:23.120 It couldn't be

01:05:23.620 more transparent.

01:05:25.880 He couldn't be

01:05:26.480 more honest about

01:05:27.440 it.

01:05:28.080 He would have his

01:05:28.660 brother on and

01:05:29.420 do, you know,

01:05:30.680 giant Q-tip jokes

01:05:32.580 and shit. 0.60

01:05:33.900 Obviously.

01:05:35.140 Obviously he was

01:05:35.880 going to help his

01:05:36.380 brother.

01:05:36.940 And who would

01:05:37.480 want him not to?

01:05:39.480 Who would want

01:05:40.120 him not to?

01:05:41.660 Crazy.

01:05:42.780 Insane.

01:05:44.780 But now, imagine

01:05:45.820 you went through

01:05:46.380 that.

01:05:48.520 Right?

01:05:49.360 And I told him

01:05:50.280 that I was one of

01:05:51.500 his supporters on

01:05:52.360 that.

01:05:52.640 Absolutely.

01:05:53.860 That was just so

01:05:55.140 wrong that they

01:05:56.520 took him out for

01:05:57.140 that.

01:05:57.320 So, when I tell you

01:06:01.000 that you don't know

01:06:02.200 exactly what his

01:06:05.240 private thoughts

01:06:05.980 are, because his

01:06:07.380 CNN performance was

01:06:08.780 more of a

01:06:09.240 performance, but

01:06:10.520 when he dealt

01:06:11.060 with me, it was

01:06:13.320 totally straight.

01:06:14.760 He asked tough

01:06:15.400 questions, because

01:06:16.220 he should.

01:06:17.840 And he listened

01:06:18.760 completely to my

01:06:19.620 answers.

01:06:20.020 He didn't talk

01:06:20.600 over me.

01:06:21.100 I mean, no more

01:06:23.380 than a normal

01:06:23.880 interview.

01:06:24.820 And he was

01:06:25.820 completely,

01:06:26.720 completely a

01:06:28.100 legitimate, honest

01:06:29.960 agent on that

01:06:31.060 issue.

01:06:31.680 And I think you're

01:06:32.500 completely wrong.

01:06:33.580 In fact, I'm sure

01:06:34.340 that with complete

01:06:35.360 certainty, he's

01:06:36.500 absolutely open to

01:06:38.600 looking at both

01:06:39.180 sides.

01:06:40.240 Absolutely.

01:06:40.640 And by the

01:06:42.960 way, that's called

01:06:44.300 reciprocity, what I

01:06:45.900 just did.

01:06:46.300 But I'm telling

01:06:47.260 you, he treated

01:06:49.300 me fairly when

01:06:51.040 almost nobody

01:06:51.960 was.

01:06:53.260 So, I'm

01:06:53.980 defending him

01:06:54.800 because I owe

01:06:56.580 him.

01:06:57.920 So, that's

01:06:58.660 payback.

01:07:00.920 All right.

01:07:03.160 Ukraine is

01:07:04.240 allegedly going

01:07:05.000 on defense.

01:07:05.860 So, the new

01:07:06.420 orders are to

01:07:07.360 dig in and

01:07:08.840 defend rather

01:07:09.940 than being on

01:07:10.840 the offense.

01:07:12.340 So, I would

01:07:13.560 say that the

01:07:14.380 cat is on the

01:07:15.420 roof on this

01:07:15.980 one.

01:07:16.700 In the sense

01:07:17.560 that that

01:07:19.420 doesn't look like

01:07:20.100 they think they're

01:07:20.660 going to gain any

01:07:21.420 more territory.

01:07:23.300 So, I think

01:07:24.400 that when Putin

01:07:25.280 says, I'm going

01:07:26.120 to wait for the

01:07:26.940 election in

01:07:28.860 America before I 0.80

01:07:29.660 do anything, I

01:07:31.080 think Zelensky

01:07:31.760 realizes that his

01:07:32.780 best bet is to

01:07:34.440 wait for the next

01:07:35.100 election because

01:07:36.680 it's going to

01:07:37.140 happen.

01:07:38.260 So, I feel

01:07:39.440 like all the

01:07:40.960 signals are pretty

01:07:42.640 obvious now that

01:07:44.440 it is going to

01:07:45.140 get negotiated.

01:07:45.860 it's going to

01:07:47.080 look like

01:07:47.620 something like

01:07:48.400 where the

01:07:48.920 current lines

01:07:49.880 are.

01:07:50.160 I imagine it

01:07:50.940 will be right

01:07:51.960 along those

01:07:52.400 lines.

01:07:53.380 And there's no

01:07:54.100 other way this is

01:07:54.780 likely to go.

01:07:56.240 Yeah.

01:07:56.960 I hear the

01:07:57.480 stories about

01:07:58.080 Zelensky buying

01:07:58.960 yachts and stuff,

01:08:00.000 but I wouldn't

01:08:00.620 necessarily believe

01:08:01.400 those.

01:08:01.680 I don't disbelieve

01:08:03.220 them.

01:08:04.180 But in the fog of

01:08:05.460 war and knowing

01:08:06.140 that Russia 0.72

01:08:06.620 disinformation is

01:08:07.640 really a thing, I

01:08:10.160 wouldn't believe

01:08:10.580 anything about

01:08:11.300 Zelensky getting

01:08:12.500 rich.

01:08:13.300 I assume it's

01:08:14.040 true.

01:08:14.780 If you ask me

01:08:15.560 what I assume, I

01:08:17.360 assume so.

01:08:18.640 But if you look at

01:08:19.440 any specific report

01:08:20.560 about buying two

01:08:21.440 yachts and stuff

01:08:22.180 like that, I think

01:08:23.920 that's unlikely to

01:08:25.060 be true.

01:08:25.900 Even if he's

01:08:26.560 stealing, he's

01:08:27.280 probably not buying

01:08:27.940 yachts with it.

01:08:28.760 That's my guess.

01:08:31.800 Like it might be

01:08:32.400 in a secret bank

01:08:34.460 account somewhere,

01:08:35.240 but I don't see

01:08:36.460 him buying a yacht

01:08:37.280 that he can't use.

01:08:40.520 All right.

01:08:42.380 Glenn Greenwald

01:08:43.260 talking about MSNBC,

01:08:44.880 who he says

01:08:46.380 talked about

01:08:47.320 Medi

01:08:47.900 yeah, Medi

01:08:49.980 Harsan.

01:08:52.640 Medi

01:08:53.080 Medir

01:08:54.520 Harsan.

01:08:55.480 Harsan.

01:08:56.300 Sorry, I can't

01:08:57.080 say his name

01:08:57.760 right.

01:08:58.760 But he was

01:08:59.520 canceled his

01:09:00.500 show on MSNBC

01:09:01.600 along with two

01:09:04.060 other pro-Palestinian

01:09:05.340 hosts after

01:09:06.040 October 7th.

01:09:07.540 But what's

01:09:08.220 interesting is

01:09:09.160 that it's a

01:09:09.740 long time now.

01:09:11.440 So it's three

01:09:12.700 weeks later after

01:09:13.980 he got canceled

01:09:14.700 and he hasn't

01:09:15.660 said a word in

01:09:16.300 public.

01:09:18.300 That's kind of

01:09:19.040 weird if you're

01:09:19.960 a host of a

01:09:20.780 major TV show.

01:09:22.380 But apparently

01:09:22.840 the no one was

01:09:24.960 watching his show

01:09:25.680 anyway.

01:09:26.100 It was like the

01:09:26.620 lowest rated show

01:09:27.700 on cable news

01:09:29.160 I think.

01:09:29.940 It was just

01:09:30.520 like invisible.

01:09:31.440 It was so

01:09:31.880 lowly

01:09:33.000 attended.

01:09:34.440 So I

01:09:35.800 think MSNBC

01:09:37.080 made the right

01:09:37.700 business decision

01:09:38.600 because keeping

01:09:40.380 on there wasn't

01:09:41.200 making many

01:09:41.760 money but it

01:09:42.360 could have

01:09:43.500 lost the

01:09:43.960 money because

01:09:44.920 they would have

01:09:45.340 lost a lot of

01:09:46.120 Jewish support.

01:09:47.080 But the real

01:09:49.860 question is

01:09:50.580 and I think

01:09:51.740 Glenn Greenwald

01:09:52.740 is on this

01:09:53.300 page is

01:09:54.600 why did he

01:09:57.240 have to get

01:09:57.620 canceled?

01:09:59.040 Just because you

01:10:00.260 hate everything he

01:10:01.080 says and he's

01:10:03.020 you know maybe

01:10:03.960 some would say

01:10:04.600 he's anti-Israel

01:10:05.780 and pro you

01:10:07.780 know two pro

01:10:08.460 bad guys.

01:10:09.700 But doesn't he

01:10:10.560 get to say that?

01:10:12.660 Don't we have a

01:10:13.440 country where you

01:10:14.080 get to say that?

01:10:14.760 And isn't that a

01:10:16.220 point of view

01:10:17.320 that there are

01:10:18.940 enough Americans 0.97

01:10:19.680 who want to

01:10:20.120 hear that they

01:10:21.620 ought to hear it?

01:10:24.000 No matter how

01:10:25.080 Nazi like it 0.93

01:10:27.260 might sound to

01:10:27.880 your ears?

01:10:30.980 Do you not get

01:10:31.860 to say that in

01:10:32.460 America?

01:10:33.020 You don't get to

01:10:33.620 say something that

01:10:34.280 everybody hates?

01:10:35.600 Well not everybody

01:10:36.380 obviously.

01:10:37.940 It's a good

01:10:38.340 question.

01:10:39.220 I don't know

01:10:39.680 where the line

01:10:40.220 is because on

01:10:42.120 one hand I

01:10:43.200 don't want to

01:10:43.700 hear what he

01:10:44.120 has to say.

01:10:44.760 On the other

01:10:46.980 hand I know

01:10:48.680 that's not how

01:10:49.340 the standard

01:10:49.840 works.

01:10:50.500 The standard

01:10:51.040 is for me to

01:10:53.440 be able to

01:10:53.900 say what I

01:10:54.380 want to say

01:10:54.840 I have to

01:10:55.300 let him say

01:10:55.840 what he wants

01:10:56.380 to say.

01:10:57.440 So I've got

01:10:58.180 a little bit

01:10:58.680 of agreement

01:10:59.240 here with

01:10:59.900 Glenn Greenwald

01:11:00.700 that as much

01:11:02.700 as I think

01:11:03.340 he is a

01:11:04.340 malign bad

01:11:05.500 force and

01:11:06.200 his show

01:11:06.580 was a

01:11:07.120 disaster,

01:11:08.660 I hope he

01:11:09.700 didn't get

01:11:10.300 cancelled just

01:11:11.740 because people

01:11:12.380 didn't want to

01:11:12.940 hear what he

01:11:13.280 had to say.

01:11:14.760 That would

01:11:15.140 be the

01:11:15.380 wrong reason.

01:11:16.720 If he

01:11:17.240 wasn't making

01:11:17.780 money and

01:11:18.580 it was just

01:11:19.340 too much

01:11:19.680 problem for

01:11:20.260 the company

01:11:20.700 then it's

01:11:21.100 just a

01:11:21.360 business

01:11:21.640 decision.

01:11:22.920 I hope it

01:11:23.380 wasn't because

01:11:23.860 of what he

01:11:24.320 was saying.

01:11:27.180 And again

01:11:27.860 I'll remind

01:11:28.560 you I'm

01:11:28.960 100% behind

01:11:29.840 Israel for

01:11:31.680 its Gaza

01:11:32.960 policies.

01:11:34.140 Anything that

01:11:34.740 happened before

01:11:35.380 October 7th I

01:11:36.820 don't care.

01:11:38.120 I'm just not

01:11:38.760 involved in that.

01:11:39.500 So I don't

01:11:40.520 care about

01:11:40.880 their history.

01:11:41.620 I don't

01:11:41.800 care who

01:11:42.120 did what

01:11:42.520 to who.

01:11:43.680 October 7th I'm

01:11:46.460 going to judge

01:11:47.300 everything that

01:11:47.840 happens in

01:11:48.300 Gaza by

01:11:48.900 October 7th.

01:11:50.840 That's my

01:11:51.280 stand.

01:11:52.840 All right.

01:11:53.220 Israel has 1.00

01:11:53.900 put out some

01:11:54.780 fighting maps.

01:11:56.140 Some maps that

01:11:57.180 show Gaza in a

01:11:58.660 grid with

01:11:59.700 numbered numbers

01:12:00.760 on each of the

01:12:01.380 boxes.

01:12:02.680 And I guess

01:12:03.500 they're dropping

01:12:04.360 pamphlets now

01:12:05.500 because the

01:12:06.160 ceasefire didn't

01:12:07.140 work.

01:12:08.020 The ceasefire's

01:12:08.640 over.

01:12:08.940 Well the

01:12:09.260 ceasefire did

01:12:09.800 work because

01:12:10.400 they exchanged

01:12:11.240 prisoners.

01:12:12.680 But there's still

01:12:13.320 some to go and

01:12:14.280 the claim is that

01:12:15.760 Hamas is not 0.97

01:12:17.220 doing everything

01:12:17.800 they said they

01:12:18.340 do so Israel's 0.78

01:12:20.160 going to go back

01:12:20.720 to the attack.

01:12:22.920 Now that could

01:12:24.160 also be a

01:12:24.780 bluff.

01:12:26.620 So it could be

01:12:27.480 that Israel is

01:12:29.500 doing everything

01:12:31.260 that looks like

01:12:31.940 they're going on

01:12:32.560 an aggressive

01:12:33.100 attack to get

01:12:34.700 Hamas to

01:12:35.540 you know fold

01:12:37.120 on the last

01:12:37.800 few things

01:12:38.340 about the

01:12:38.900 prisoners.

01:12:40.500 Maybe.

01:12:41.740 Or maybe it's

01:12:42.480 a win either

01:12:42.940 way.

01:12:43.680 Getting ready

01:12:44.220 to fight

01:12:44.700 because they

01:12:45.080 need to.

01:12:45.700 Well you just

01:12:46.140 need to do

01:12:46.560 that.

01:12:47.360 But if it

01:12:47.920 had the effect

01:12:48.540 of causing

01:12:49.160 the hostages

01:12:50.120 to come back

01:12:50.860 well that's

01:12:52.220 good too.

01:12:53.160 So it makes

01:12:53.700 sense what

01:12:54.060 they're doing

01:12:54.400 and it makes

01:12:55.500 sense that they

01:12:56.000 would have

01:12:56.260 this grid.

01:12:57.120 But remember

01:12:57.600 I told you

01:12:58.160 visual persuasion

01:12:59.380 is the strongest.

01:13:02.340 When you

01:13:02.800 actually see the

01:13:03.700 map and you

01:13:05.260 see there's

01:13:05.700 lots of boxes

01:13:07.220 and you see

01:13:08.720 that they're

01:13:09.320 going to drop

01:13:09.900 people in

01:13:12.520 advance hey

01:13:12.980 we're going

01:13:13.340 into this box

01:13:14.080 if you're a

01:13:15.180 civilian get

01:13:16.400 out of this

01:13:16.760 box.

01:13:17.800 But the box

01:13:18.340 is not so

01:13:19.080 big that they

01:13:20.760 don't know how

01:13:21.160 to get out of

01:13:21.660 it.

01:13:22.400 In other words

01:13:22.840 it's all walking

01:13:23.460 distance.

01:13:24.300 If you said

01:13:25.080 you have to

01:13:25.480 get out of

01:13:25.880 northern Gaza

01:13:27.080 well that's

01:13:28.500 too far to

01:13:28.980 go.

01:13:30.180 Like to do

01:13:31.160 what?

01:13:31.880 How do you

01:13:32.240 get out of

01:13:32.640 the north?

01:13:33.280 The north is

01:13:33.940 just too big.

01:13:34.580 Getting out

01:13:35.980 is no easy

01:13:36.740 thing.

01:13:37.300 But if you

01:13:37.920 make it small

01:13:38.520 enough boxes

01:13:39.280 everybody can

01:13:41.000 walk to the

01:13:41.520 next box

01:13:42.160 until the

01:13:43.160 bombing stops

01:13:43.900 in that box.

01:13:46.160 Now I don't

01:13:46.920 know how this

01:13:47.340 is going to

01:13:47.700 work.

01:13:50.400 Because

01:13:50.840 wouldn't Hamas 0.99

01:13:53.280 get out of

01:13:53.740 the box

01:13:54.140 too?

01:13:56.180 So we'll

01:13:57.560 see what

01:13:57.920 happens.

01:13:58.420 It could be

01:13:58.780 either the

01:13:59.120 best idea

01:13:59.720 or the

01:14:00.000 worst idea.

01:14:00.900 But here's

01:14:01.300 what's important.

01:14:01.900 from a

01:14:02.860 persuasion

01:14:03.600 public relations

01:14:04.640 standpoint

01:14:05.200 when I heard

01:14:07.220 Israel saying

01:14:08.240 hey innocents 0.91

01:14:09.100 can leave

01:14:09.680 I said to

01:14:10.940 myself okay

01:14:11.680 I back

01:14:12.260 Israel

01:14:12.680 I'm on

01:14:13.960 their side

01:14:14.440 but can

01:14:16.020 they really

01:14:16.420 leave?

01:14:17.800 Can you

01:14:18.200 really walk

01:14:19.480 from northern

01:14:20.120 Gaza to

01:14:20.820 southern Gaza

01:14:21.540 in a war

01:14:22.220 zone?

01:14:23.100 To me that

01:14:23.780 didn't look

01:14:24.180 like they

01:14:24.520 could really

01:14:25.040 leave. 0.99

01:14:26.120 Did you have

01:14:26.500 the same

01:14:26.800 feeling?

01:14:27.680 It's like

01:14:27.940 yeah I get

01:14:28.420 in principle

01:14:29.100 you say they

01:14:29.660 can leave

01:14:30.180 but in a

01:14:31.360 practical sense

01:14:32.340 there's no

01:14:33.080 way.

01:14:34.320 There's no

01:14:35.260 way.

01:14:36.580 So now they

01:14:37.160 have a new

01:14:38.220 visual representation

01:14:39.480 of the area

01:14:40.700 so you can

01:14:41.380 just look at

01:14:41.960 it and you

01:14:42.400 can look at

01:14:42.820 it and say

01:14:43.120 oh yeah that

01:14:44.000 would work.

01:14:45.440 Like your

01:14:45.860 brain instantly

01:14:46.680 says well I

01:14:47.340 could walk

01:14:47.700 from that

01:14:48.000 box to that

01:14:48.600 box and

01:14:49.640 wait for a

01:14:50.120 day.

01:14:50.920 I could do

01:14:51.320 that.

01:14:54.060 Jason you're

01:14:54.800 such a bad

01:14:55.360 troll.

01:14:57.120 You're not

01:14:57.700 even making

01:14:58.080 a dent.

01:15:00.180 Are you

01:15:01.120 drunk already

01:15:01.780 Jason?

01:15:03.120 You act like

01:15:04.080 you're drunk.

01:15:06.640 By the way

01:15:07.440 the number

01:15:08.380 of times you

01:15:08.980 can make

01:15:09.320 somebody go

01:15:09.900 away by

01:15:10.520 asking if

01:15:11.080 they're drunk

01:15:11.600 you should

01:15:13.680 see how

01:15:14.040 often that

01:15:14.480 works.

01:15:15.700 It's crazy.

01:15:18.440 So drunken

01:15:19.100 Jason we'll

01:15:19.700 see if he

01:15:20.060 comes back.

01:15:21.100 He got real

01:15:21.680 quiet when I

01:15:22.360 asked him if

01:15:22.780 he's drunk.

01:15:24.240 Because you're

01:15:24.760 probably drunk

01:15:25.280 aren't you?

01:15:26.700 Yeah.

01:15:27.500 I know it's

01:15:27.940 the morning but

01:15:28.660 I'll bet you're

01:15:29.080 drunk.

01:15:30.180 So the

01:15:35.420 fighting maps

01:15:36.140 are good

01:15:36.920 for him.

01:15:38.860 University of

01:15:39.800 California has

01:15:40.680 got some

01:15:41.080 conflict.

01:15:42.160 150

01:15:42.660 professors are

01:15:45.440 condemning the

01:15:46.100 school's

01:15:46.800 president,

01:15:48.280 the University

01:15:48.760 of California's

01:15:49.560 president's

01:15:50.360 viewpoint because

01:15:51.880 he wants to

01:15:52.660 make some

01:15:52.960 changes and

01:15:54.260 he wants to

01:15:54.860 the teachers,

01:15:57.840 professors to

01:15:58.660 have more

01:15:59.040 neutral opinions

01:16:00.000 on things

01:16:00.460 like climate

01:16:00.960 change and

01:16:02.300 Middle East

01:16:02.960 atrocities.

01:16:06.460 And people

01:16:07.360 are saying,

01:16:08.080 how could we

01:16:09.380 have a neutral

01:16:10.240 opinion on

01:16:10.960 atrocities?

01:16:13.920 But of course

01:16:14.880 he doesn't mean

01:16:15.440 that.

01:16:16.240 He means the

01:16:17.060 whole context

01:16:18.100 that includes

01:16:18.700 the atrocities.

01:16:19.300 politics.

01:16:19.800 Now, is it a

01:16:21.200 good idea for

01:16:22.780 educators to

01:16:24.200 try to be

01:16:24.720 objective and

01:16:26.060 not insert

01:16:26.720 their opinion

01:16:27.340 into politics

01:16:30.540 and the

01:16:30.860 news?

01:16:31.800 Well, like

01:16:33.040 your common

01:16:33.520 sense says,

01:16:34.580 yes, that's a

01:16:35.200 good idea.

01:16:36.040 You don't want

01:16:36.840 these teachers

01:16:37.440 propagandizing

01:16:38.440 people.

01:16:39.500 But here's the

01:16:40.220 second question.

01:16:41.260 Is it

01:16:41.980 possible?

01:16:43.420 No.

01:16:44.920 No, it's not

01:16:45.440 possible.

01:16:45.840 You can't

01:16:46.740 not inject

01:16:47.620 opinion into

01:16:49.000 world events.

01:16:50.800 That's not a

01:16:51.740 thing.

01:16:52.500 Because just the

01:16:53.780 word choice and

01:16:54.760 what you leave

01:16:55.300 out and what

01:16:55.980 you emphasize,

01:16:57.680 your opinion

01:16:58.360 will always be

01:16:59.040 in it.

01:17:00.300 So it's

01:17:01.160 impossible.

01:17:03.240 So the

01:17:03.940 suggestion is to

01:17:04.840 do something

01:17:05.300 that's literally

01:17:05.900 impossible.

01:17:06.520 and people

01:17:09.360 are complaining.

01:17:12.060 So I

01:17:12.860 don't know.

01:17:13.240 I think it's

01:17:13.600 just more of a

01:17:14.480 sign that the

01:17:16.360 higher levels

01:17:18.640 of education

01:17:19.400 don't know how

01:17:21.400 to educate.

01:17:22.820 Because they

01:17:23.440 don't know if

01:17:24.020 they should give

01:17:24.540 an opinion or

01:17:26.300 they should not

01:17:26.820 give an opinion

01:17:27.380 and it would

01:17:28.380 completely change

01:17:29.560 what you were

01:17:30.000 taught.

01:17:30.800 If you can't

01:17:31.340 figure that part

01:17:31.980 out.

01:17:33.080 So I side

01:17:34.880 with the news

01:17:35.620 people who say

01:17:36.280 that all

01:17:36.680 news is

01:17:37.140 opinion.

01:17:38.680 And that

01:17:39.040 includes Ida

01:17:40.560 Bay Wells

01:17:41.600 who's the

01:17:43.260 what was it

01:17:44.760 the 16

01:17:45.880 whatever project.

01:17:47.680 So yeah

01:17:49.240 the 1619

01:17:50.080 author.

01:17:53.540 She said

01:17:54.620 that news

01:17:55.820 people have

01:17:56.540 to be

01:17:57.000 have to be

01:17:58.200 opinionated

01:17:58.900 and biased

01:17:59.980 not biased

01:18:01.200 but opinionated

01:18:02.760 because that's

01:18:03.920 the only

01:18:04.180 reasonable

01:18:04.620 thing.

01:18:04.980 I would

01:18:06.560 argue that

01:18:07.140 that's always

01:18:07.720 been true.

01:18:08.240 Oh George

01:18:09.260 Santos has

01:18:09.840 been expelled.

01:18:11.460 Breaking news.

01:18:13.160 George Santos

01:18:13.840 has been

01:18:14.460 expelled.

01:18:15.520 Is that a

01:18:16.100 real thing?

01:18:17.400 Well we'll find

01:18:18.140 out about that.

01:18:19.360 Yeah I don't

01:18:19.840 think that it's

01:18:20.440 realistic to expect

01:18:21.420 people to not put

01:18:22.280 their opinion in

01:18:23.260 their teaching

01:18:23.920 because how can

01:18:25.440 you do that?

01:18:26.340 I mean seriously

01:18:26.960 how can you do

01:18:27.760 that?

01:18:28.040 but as a

01:18:31.200 standard

01:18:31.720 it might make

01:18:33.180 sense to get

01:18:33.760 as close to

01:18:34.460 it as you

01:18:34.840 can.

01:18:36.180 So I don't

01:18:37.840 hate that

01:18:38.360 but the

01:18:40.420 question was

01:18:40.960 how do they

01:18:41.380 teach climate

01:18:42.300 change?

01:18:44.760 How would

01:18:45.160 you treat

01:18:45.560 imagine you

01:18:46.840 thought that

01:18:47.300 climate change

01:18:48.040 was an

01:18:48.460 existential threat.

01:18:50.720 You're a

01:18:51.240 professor and

01:18:52.360 you really

01:18:52.760 believe it

01:18:53.240 and maybe

01:18:55.640 it's true.

01:18:56.840 I don't know

01:18:57.360 what's true

01:18:57.720 but maybe it

01:18:58.800 is.

01:19:00.260 How could you

01:19:00.820 possibly allow

01:19:01.960 the critics

01:19:02.860 to get equal

01:19:04.360 voice in that

01:19:05.100 conversation if

01:19:06.280 you thought one

01:19:06.860 would kill the

01:19:07.500 world and the

01:19:08.860 other would save

01:19:09.480 the world and

01:19:10.560 you're going to

01:19:10.880 ask your

01:19:11.360 professor to be

01:19:12.540 unbiased about

01:19:13.360 that?

01:19:14.600 How?

01:19:16.000 Because here's

01:19:16.600 the problem.

01:19:17.860 If you're

01:19:18.360 unbiased about

01:19:19.240 it the skeptics

01:19:20.060 win.

01:19:22.420 Sorry.

01:19:24.100 The skeptics

01:19:24.680 just have a

01:19:25.260 stronger argument.

01:19:26.440 It doesn't

01:19:26.820 mean they're

01:19:27.160 right.

01:19:28.360 It doesn't

01:19:28.740 mean they're

01:19:29.060 right.

01:19:29.940 I mean that

01:19:30.480 if you had

01:19:30.940 an honest

01:19:31.540 debate with

01:19:32.980 the skeptics

01:19:33.680 and the

01:19:34.200 pro-climate

01:19:35.240 alarm people

01:19:36.080 I believe the

01:19:37.280 skeptics would

01:19:37.920 win 100% of

01:19:38.780 the time if

01:19:39.900 you had the

01:19:40.200 right skeptics.

01:19:41.300 Not all of

01:19:41.960 them.

01:19:42.140 Some of them

01:19:42.500 were frauds.

01:19:44.980 And it's not

01:19:45.580 because, and I

01:19:46.420 want to be clear

01:19:46.900 about this, it's

01:19:47.860 not because I

01:19:48.700 know that

01:19:50.360 climate change

01:19:51.320 is or is not

01:19:52.020 real.

01:19:52.260 I don't

01:19:53.120 have magic

01:19:53.660 abilities.

01:19:54.500 What I know

01:19:54.980 is that the

01:19:55.440 argument will

01:19:56.720 sound more

01:19:57.340 persuasive.

01:19:58.700 Because when

01:19:59.380 you say, when I

01:20:00.680 say, for example,

01:20:01.880 do you really

01:20:02.360 think the

01:20:03.000 scientists can

01:20:03.640 measure the

01:20:04.400 temperature of

01:20:05.680 the planet?

01:20:07.540 And that they're

01:20:08.480 accurate within a

01:20:09.400 half a degree or

01:20:10.420 something?

01:20:10.780 Which you would

01:20:11.180 have to be.

01:20:13.500 People just

01:20:14.260 laugh at that.

01:20:15.320 They go, well,

01:20:15.900 you know, if you've

01:20:17.820 ever worked in a

01:20:18.480 big company and

01:20:19.940 you know how much

01:20:20.520 bullshit big

01:20:21.240 companies tell

01:20:22.140 their public and

01:20:23.420 tell the

01:20:23.760 customers, you

01:20:25.080 know that's not

01:20:25.860 a thing.

01:20:27.160 You know that's

01:20:28.060 not a thing.

01:20:29.320 Every part of

01:20:30.220 your common

01:20:30.680 sense tells you,

01:20:32.560 no, they

01:20:33.120 didn't put

01:20:33.620 thermometers around

01:20:36.260 the world and

01:20:37.520 then track it for

01:20:38.360 a hundred years and

01:20:39.400 they were accurate

01:20:40.060 to a half a

01:20:40.720 percent.

01:20:43.000 Right?

01:20:43.780 If you put me on

01:20:44.820 that debate, I

01:20:46.380 would slaughter a

01:20:48.340 scientist who knew

01:20:49.240 a hundred times

01:20:49.900 more than me.

01:20:51.380 Because what's the

01:20:52.100 scientist going to

01:20:52.820 say?

01:20:53.760 Scientist is going

01:20:54.520 to say, but

01:20:54.880 here's my detailed

01:20:57.540 scientific study

01:20:58.600 that's peer

01:20:59.600 reviewed.

01:21:00.880 And I'll say,

01:21:01.640 what percentage of

01:21:02.420 peer reviewed

01:21:02.880 things are true?

01:21:04.540 Well, you know,

01:21:05.280 that's our process.

01:21:06.300 I know, but what

01:21:06.900 percentage are

01:21:08.080 true?

01:21:08.800 Well, you know,

01:21:09.420 it's the best

01:21:09.880 process.

01:21:10.500 I know.

01:21:11.460 But what

01:21:11.820 percentage of

01:21:13.480 peer reviewed

01:21:14.000 studies turn out

01:21:14.980 to be true in the

01:21:15.620 long run?

01:21:16.020 Just give me a

01:21:16.680 number.

01:21:17.340 Well, most of the

01:21:18.660 time, is it?

01:21:21.360 Because I've got a

01:21:22.300 study that says it's

01:21:23.100 50% of the time.

01:21:25.040 Half.

01:21:26.440 Now, you tell me

01:21:27.320 this.

01:21:27.880 If you took a

01:21:28.500 bunch of scientists

01:21:29.100 and you said, if

01:21:31.660 you say A is true,

01:21:33.840 you could be happy

01:21:35.240 and live a happy

01:21:36.120 life.

01:21:36.880 If you say B is

01:21:37.820 true, you will be

01:21:38.880 destroyed.

01:21:40.800 Is that science?

01:21:43.440 Right?

01:21:43.720 In other words,

01:21:44.320 the critic argument

01:21:46.300 is just super

01:21:48.320 easy to understand

01:21:49.720 and strong.

01:21:50.920 The argument that

01:21:52.080 we're in trouble

01:21:52.600 and we're all

01:21:53.100 going to die

01:21:53.660 might be right.

01:21:56.300 I don't know.

01:21:57.140 It's too complicated

01:21:57.960 for me to understand.

01:21:59.660 But too complicated

01:22:01.320 and the only people

01:22:02.560 who understand it

01:22:03.400 are making money

01:22:04.100 from it

01:22:04.700 compared to

01:22:06.440 you haven't been

01:22:07.640 right for 40

01:22:08.480 years,

01:22:09.920 half of science

01:22:10.780 is made up,

01:22:11.540 and you're all

01:22:12.480 paid to say

01:22:13.120 it's real.

01:22:14.520 Who wins that

01:22:15.420 debate?

01:22:17.580 And by the way,

01:22:18.600 they convince you

01:22:19.400 that they could

01:22:19.960 put thermometers

01:22:21.340 around the earth

01:22:22.340 and tell you

01:22:23.240 the average

01:22:23.780 temperature of the

01:22:24.500 earth within

01:22:25.020 half a degree.

01:22:27.860 You put me

01:22:28.720 on that panel,

01:22:30.120 I would destroy

01:22:31.380 climate change

01:22:32.380 in one hour

01:22:33.700 as an alarm

01:22:35.880 narrative.

01:22:36.360 But I might be

01:22:36.900 wrong.

01:22:37.760 That's the funny

01:22:38.440 thing.

01:22:38.900 I'm not telling

01:22:39.540 you I'm so right.

01:22:41.540 that my argument

01:22:42.540 would win.

01:22:43.160 It's not because

01:22:43.760 it's right.

01:22:44.920 It's because it's

01:22:45.940 a common sense

01:22:46.960 observable set

01:22:49.300 of arguments.

01:22:50.540 Common sense

01:22:51.200 and observable.

01:22:52.360 The other is,

01:22:53.420 well, I can't

01:22:54.160 even tell what

01:22:55.040 that science is

01:22:55.900 saying,

01:22:56.780 and aren't you

01:22:57.700 paid to say

01:22:58.280 it's real?

01:23:01.440 Yeah.

01:23:02.520 Somebody says,

01:23:03.240 you're right,

01:23:03.640 you're wrong. 0.83

01:23:04.560 Henry Cruz says,

01:23:05.780 I might be.

01:23:07.040 I might be wrong.

01:23:08.680 That's not one

01:23:09.320 I would bet

01:23:09.740 my life on.

01:23:11.540 Well, credit

01:23:13.080 to Barry Weiss,

01:23:14.920 who, sort of

01:23:16.260 an independent

01:23:16.780 journalist type,

01:23:18.220 broke some big

01:23:19.100 stories.

01:23:20.100 So she's got a 0.99

01:23:20.840 news startup

01:23:21.360 called the Free

01:23:21.960 Press, and

01:23:23.620 apparently,

01:23:24.260 especially during

01:23:25.000 this Hamas-Gaza 0.87

01:23:27.140 situation, she

01:23:28.860 seems to be

01:23:29.420 getting tons of

01:23:30.280 attention for not

01:23:32.260 being a biased

01:23:34.320 source of news,

01:23:35.340 I guess.

01:23:36.160 So good for her.

01:23:37.140 I just want to

01:23:38.060 give her a shout-out 1.00

01:23:39.200 that I think

01:23:40.660 Barry Weiss has

01:23:41.520 been one of

01:23:42.520 the most

01:23:44.800 useful citizens

01:23:45.960 in the United

01:23:47.460 States over the

01:23:48.380 past few years

01:23:49.220 by being

01:23:50.560 aggressively

01:23:51.720 dedicated to

01:23:53.820 what's real

01:23:54.320 and being

01:23:55.920 unwilling to

01:23:57.480 play along

01:23:58.400 with what's

01:23:58.840 not real.

01:24:00.080 So all

01:24:01.140 credit to her,

01:24:02.260 and apparently

01:24:03.200 the Free

01:24:03.620 Press is

01:24:04.740 being quoted

01:24:05.280 by notable

01:24:06.280 people and

01:24:07.300 getting a lot

01:24:07.740 of attention,

01:24:08.440 and I'd like

01:24:08.880 her to get a 0.99

01:24:09.420 little bit of

01:24:09.840 extra attention,

01:24:10.860 because when you

01:24:11.560 do work that

01:24:12.120 good, maybe

01:24:13.600 good things

01:24:14.100 should come

01:24:14.640 to you.

01:24:17.580 All right.

01:24:18.720 Nature self-regulates.

01:24:20.280 It does not go

01:24:20.940 into cascade

01:24:21.660 failure.

01:24:22.200 Yeah, so the

01:24:23.540 climate alarmists

01:24:24.940 have an argument

01:24:26.920 that, oh yeah,

01:24:27.980 maybe you can't

01:24:28.780 see what's

01:24:29.540 going wrong,

01:24:30.160 but when it

01:24:30.540 reaches this

01:24:31.240 breaking point,

01:24:33.220 you know, that's

01:24:33.720 where everything

01:24:34.220 will fall apart.

01:24:36.480 I have no

01:24:37.540 confidence that

01:24:39.220 our scientists

01:24:39.960 can look at the

01:24:40.760 complexity of

01:24:41.940 all the systems

01:24:43.300 around our

01:24:45.000 globe, and

01:24:46.080 they can tell

01:24:46.560 us that there's

01:24:47.300 an upcoming

01:24:48.020 fall-off-a-cliff

01:24:49.460 point.

01:24:49.760 There might

01:24:52.820 be, but how

01:24:54.360 would you

01:24:54.620 predict that?

01:24:56.100 That would be

01:24:56.560 the hardest

01:24:57.000 thing you could

01:24:57.540 possibly predict

01:24:58.500 in an environment

01:24:59.800 where they can't

01:25:00.460 predict anything.

01:25:02.680 And I want to

01:25:04.200 say this.

01:25:06.860 Prediction is

01:25:07.800 truth, right?

01:25:08.980 If you predicted

01:25:09.960 accurately in the

01:25:11.680 past, you

01:25:12.880 probably have

01:25:13.380 something like

01:25:13.920 truth.

01:25:15.180 But if you

01:25:15.940 can't predict,

01:25:16.540 you can't.

01:25:16.900 Now, the

01:25:17.320 history of

01:25:17.860 climate is

01:25:18.460 they've

01:25:18.740 predicted

01:25:19.060 terrible, but

01:25:20.700 if you ask

01:25:21.300 them, they'd

01:25:22.980 say, no, our

01:25:23.740 models are

01:25:24.260 right on.

01:25:25.080 Oh, yeah, maybe

01:25:26.000 30 years ago we

01:25:26.960 had some crazy

01:25:27.680 ideas, but those

01:25:28.520 guys are all

01:25:28.980 dead.

01:25:30.260 Current batch

01:25:30.960 of scientists

01:25:31.680 finally got it

01:25:32.420 right, and we

01:25:33.480 got all these

01:25:33.920 models.

01:25:34.860 If you haven't

01:25:35.640 heard me explain

01:25:36.340 why the models

01:25:37.040 are BS, allow 0.99

01:25:38.620 me to do it

01:25:39.220 this way.

01:25:40.920 Nobody can

01:25:41.560 predict the

01:25:42.060 future.

01:25:44.020 You can't do

01:25:44.760 it with math.

01:25:45.460 Nobody can

01:25:47.140 predict the

01:25:47.600 future.

01:25:49.220 That's not a

01:25:50.020 thing.

01:25:52.140 It's also not

01:25:53.180 what prediction

01:25:54.040 models are for.

01:25:56.240 Models are not

01:25:57.040 for predicting the

01:25:57.820 future.

01:25:58.520 That's not even

01:25:59.060 the point of

01:25:59.540 them.

01:26:00.040 Do you know

01:26:00.300 what they're

01:26:00.540 for?

01:26:01.560 They're for

01:26:02.240 to tell you

01:26:03.120 what the

01:26:03.700 cone of

01:26:04.260 possibility is,

01:26:05.880 from the

01:26:07.460 worst case to

01:26:08.080 the best case.

01:26:09.440 But where it

01:26:10.100 is within that

01:26:10.940 cone, nobody

01:26:12.620 can predict

01:26:13.100 that.

01:26:13.420 So that's

01:26:15.220 the first

01:26:15.520 thing.

01:26:16.600 It's way too

01:26:17.280 complicated, too

01:26:18.100 many variables,

01:26:19.120 nobody can

01:26:19.580 predict it.

01:26:22.500 But in

01:26:23.140 general, that's

01:26:25.740 true of a lot

01:26:26.600 of things.

01:26:28.020 Now, that's

01:26:28.560 also why I'm

01:26:29.200 suspicious of

01:26:30.200 the large

01:26:30.860 language model

01:26:31.640 AI.

01:26:33.260 If the

01:26:33.840 large language

01:26:34.420 model was

01:26:34.940 built to

01:26:36.100 predict what

01:26:36.800 the next

01:26:37.480 word in a

01:26:38.320 sequence would

01:26:38.900 be, and

01:26:39.460 that's how it

01:26:39.980 pretends to be

01:26:40.580 intelligent, how

01:26:42.060 come it can't

01:26:42.700 do it when I

01:26:43.220 ask it to

01:26:43.660 do it, try

01:26:44.980 going to your

01:26:45.540 large language

01:26:46.200 model and

01:26:46.900 give it half a

01:26:47.680 sentence and

01:26:48.860 see if it can

01:26:49.480 accurately complete

01:26:50.480 the sentence.

01:26:52.020 Because that's

01:26:52.580 what it's built

01:26:53.040 to do, right?

01:26:54.120 It's built to

01:26:54.780 do literally

01:26:55.460 that, complete

01:26:56.880 the sentence.

01:26:58.400 Try it.

01:27:00.060 Give it half a

01:27:01.000 sentence and

01:27:01.640 see if it can

01:27:02.280 complete the

01:27:02.840 sentence with

01:27:03.920 what you had

01:27:04.440 in your mind.

01:27:05.640 Not that it

01:27:06.160 can complete it,

01:27:06.960 obviously it can

01:27:07.680 complete it, but

01:27:08.680 can it complete it

01:27:09.420 with what you

01:27:09.820 had in mind?

01:27:10.380 Because if it

01:27:12.000 can, then it's

01:27:12.920 doing what they

01:27:13.480 say.

01:27:14.760 It knows that

01:27:15.600 you're likely to

01:27:16.500 say this.

01:27:17.140 Now you'd have to

01:27:17.700 repeat the thing

01:27:19.160 to make sure that

01:27:20.260 it's repeatable.

01:27:22.060 But if it can't

01:27:22.980 fill in the

01:27:23.720 sentence that you

01:27:24.360 give it as just

01:27:25.180 a test, is that

01:27:27.160 how it's thinking?

01:27:29.020 The only time it

01:27:29.980 can't do it is when

01:27:30.780 you give it the

01:27:31.280 first part of the

01:27:31.920 sentence, but it

01:27:33.320 can do it

01:27:33.740 otherwise?

01:27:35.700 Here's what I

01:27:36.380 think.

01:27:37.300 I think the

01:27:38.060 reason it can't

01:27:38.740 complete your

01:27:39.300 sentence is that

01:27:40.360 it's because it

01:27:41.180 can't predict the

01:27:41.920 future.

01:27:44.180 And if it could

01:27:45.060 complete your

01:27:45.680 sentence, it

01:27:46.260 could predict the

01:27:48.960 future, and it's

01:27:50.060 not a thing.

01:27:52.360 Now I'm not sure

01:27:53.200 that's a good

01:27:53.640 point.

01:27:54.280 I haven't thought

01:27:54.900 it through, but I

01:27:55.920 just don't understand

01:27:56.680 why it can't

01:27:57.320 complete my

01:27:57.880 sentence if that's

01:27:59.100 the entire basis

01:27:59.900 for its intelligence

01:28:00.760 is completing

01:28:01.480 sentences.

01:28:02.980 It's a little

01:28:03.620 mystery to me.

01:28:05.120 So I would say

01:28:06.220 that any time

01:28:06.960 anybody tells you

01:28:07.840 they have a secret

01:28:09.040 process that you

01:28:09.960 don't fully

01:28:10.460 understand that

01:28:11.840 can predict the

01:28:12.580 future, they do

01:28:14.420 not have a secret

01:28:16.720 process that you

01:28:17.580 don't understand

01:28:18.320 that can predict

01:28:19.440 the future.

01:28:20.780 Because nobody's

01:28:22.000 done it yet.

01:28:23.620 They haven't done

01:28:24.120 it with the stock

01:28:24.760 market.

01:28:25.380 They haven't done

01:28:25.860 it with anything.

01:28:27.900 It's just not a

01:28:28.580 thing in complex

01:28:30.060 systems.

01:28:30.860 Now somebody said,

01:28:31.620 but Scott, NASA

01:28:33.740 predicted enough to

01:28:36.800 send a ship to the

01:28:38.260 moon and back.

01:28:39.840 And that's a lot

01:28:40.400 of predicting.

01:28:41.800 To which I say,

01:28:42.940 it's a lot of

01:28:43.580 predicting with

01:28:44.920 very few variables

01:28:46.460 in physics.

01:28:48.380 You know, you've

01:28:48.660 got your gravity

01:28:49.320 and your, you

01:28:50.640 know, basically

01:28:51.280 things that we

01:28:52.060 have formulas for

01:28:52.960 that never fail,

01:28:54.800 basically.

01:28:56.040 So that makes

01:28:57.040 sense.

01:28:57.960 Because even

01:28:59.160 though your mind

01:29:00.300 says that going

01:29:01.000 to space is

01:29:01.660 complicated, it's

01:29:03.180 not complicated in

01:29:04.480 terms of the

01:29:05.020 rules of physics.

01:29:05.900 physics, would

01:29:07.260 you buy that?

01:29:09.300 It's not

01:29:09.960 complicated in

01:29:10.740 terms of physics,

01:29:12.160 right?

01:29:13.860 Whereas the

01:29:14.560 weather is

01:29:15.320 insanely complicated

01:29:16.660 in ways we can't

01:29:17.640 even know what

01:29:18.240 the variables are

01:29:19.020 exactly.

01:29:20.480 Yeah, very

01:29:20.920 different.

01:29:24.320 It's not

01:29:24.960 complicated, just

01:29:25.700 difficult, that is

01:29:26.560 correct.

01:29:29.220 All right.

01:29:29.600 So that's

01:29:35.300 what we know.

01:29:37.060 Ladies and 0.98

01:29:37.660 gentlemen, are

01:29:38.200 there any stories

01:29:38.820 I left out?

01:29:47.480 I think I've

01:29:48.260 gotten it all.

01:29:49.060 We'll catch up

01:29:49.600 with the George

01:29:50.360 Santos story in a

01:29:51.600 little bit.

01:29:52.320 But remember, get

01:29:53.580 your visual persuasion

01:29:54.920 right, and your

01:29:56.080 whole life will be

01:29:56.920 better.

01:29:57.920 It's a big, big

01:29:58.640 deal.

01:30:04.680 What?

01:30:06.560 Henry Cruz is

01:30:07.560 making up some

01:30:08.100 news.

01:30:10.820 Argentina, is

01:30:12.000 there some

01:30:12.280 news there?

01:30:21.320 Sandra Day

01:30:22.100 O'Connor has

01:30:23.360 passed away.

01:30:28.640 Troops in

01:30:29.460 Vegas.

01:30:32.260 Dr.

01:30:32.960 Funk Juice is

01:30:35.280 asking me next

01:30:36.280 time the other

01:30:38.320 story about the

01:30:38.900 troops in Vegas.

01:30:39.840 I saw your DM.

01:30:42.180 I'm missing the

01:30:43.260 context.

01:30:44.060 I didn't understand

01:30:44.660 the context.

01:30:47.440 So there are some

01:30:48.920 troops in Las

01:30:51.200 Vegas?

01:30:52.680 For what?

01:30:54.020 I don't know.

01:30:54.500 Are there

01:30:58.780 federal troops?

01:31:02.540 We talk about

01:31:03.580 Peter Zan.

01:31:04.780 He quit X.

01:31:11.100 I'm the guy who

01:31:12.160 pointed you toward

01:31:12.960 Robert Seffer.

01:31:14.160 You called him

01:31:14.940 racist?

01:31:16.260 No, I didn't.

01:31:17.880 I didn't call him

01:31:18.820 a racist.

01:31:19.240 You know, there

01:31:22.400 really needs to be

01:31:23.420 a filter for the

01:31:24.760 all caps.

01:31:26.280 If YouTube could

01:31:27.440 add the filter to

01:31:29.120 just stop the

01:31:31.000 all caps people,

01:31:32.480 you would almost

01:31:33.640 see no trolls at

01:31:35.800 all.

01:31:36.640 Because trolls

01:31:37.280 don't know how to

01:31:38.260 use anything but

01:31:39.660 all caps.

01:31:42.300 It's like they

01:31:43.140 don't know how to

01:31:43.680 turn that ability

01:31:44.540 off.

01:31:44.860 Let's see.

01:31:50.980 YouTube will not

01:31:51.840 replace us.

01:31:57.240 Yeah, no, I

01:31:58.080 didn't.

01:31:58.700 Your all caps

01:31:59.640 continue to reveal

01:32:01.280 you as the troll

01:32:02.680 that you are.

01:32:04.480 All right.

01:32:06.620 Everybody,

01:32:09.460 I'm going to say

01:32:10.200 bye to YouTube.

01:32:11.380 I'm going to talk

01:32:11.820 to the locals for

01:32:12.460 a minute.

01:32:13.420 And I will see

01:32:14.020 you later.

01:32:15.600 Bye.

01:32:15.960 Bye.

01:32:17.160 Bye.

01:32:17.660 Bye.

01:32:17.880 Bye.

01:32:18.580 Bye.

01:32:22.240 Bye.

01:32:23.620 Bye.

01:32:24.840 Bye.

01:32:26.400 Bye.

01:32:33.400 Bye.

01:32:37.220 Bye.

01:32:41.760 Bye.

01:32:43.520 Bye.

01:32:43.900 Bye.

01:32:44.100 Bye.
