Is there something in the universe that keeps us from having kids? Or is it just us not getting enough of them? And if so, is it connected to immigration? And why is it so hard to have more than 3 or 4 kids?

00:00:07.680 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:13.360 And if you'd like this experience to go up to levels that nobody can even understand with
00:00:18.480 their puny human brains, all you need is a cover mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or
00:00:23.640 stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:27.800 Fill it with your favorite liquid I like.
00:00:30.000 coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of dopamine the other day, the thing that makes
00:00:35.500 everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now, pal.
00:00:46.840 Well, if you don't mind, I've got a little technical problem, it looks like, with the
00:00:50.600 locals' platform. I'm going to see if turning them sideways makes the comments work. Nope.
00:01:00.000 Okay, that didn't work. But I'm sure they're there, and those comments will be fine after a while.
00:01:07.780 And locals, just imagine, you'll see if I can, well, all right, I'm sure it'll correct itself.
00:01:15.720 But in the meantime, about some of that news. Okay, it's really bothering me that the comments
00:01:22.620 are frozen, so I'm going to see if I can call up your comments on my other device. We'll see if
00:01:28.460 it's device-dependent or not. This will only take me one second.
00:01:41.260 Yes, device is device-dependent. So I can see your comments on this device.
00:01:47.260 You're all good. All right.
00:01:49.720 I saw that people are dating less because of money. And there was a big poll that said people are
00:01:58.500 spending much less. And the average cost of a date, people say, should be around $189.
00:02:06.980 Does that sound right? The average cost of a date? I guess there's a difference between what women 1.00
00:02:12.620 think and what men think. But somewhere in that, you know, $200 to $300 range seems to be popular.
00:02:21.720 And, but people are dating less and less. Now, is it my imagination, or is every single element
00:02:29.780 of society seemingly, seemingly now completely bent on making us not reproduce?
00:02:37.580 All right. So we got, it's too expensive to date. It's too expensive to get married and have kids.
00:02:47.460 Our testosterone levels are dropping. Women are going to accuse you of rape. Our marriage system
00:02:56.220 discourages marriage for men, because, you know, they'll take your money and your kids and whatever.
00:03:00.980 We've got the, you know, the LGBTQ growth. We've got TikTok telling people to be something other than 1.00
00:03:12.040 traditional family. Tell me, tell me, is it true that literally everything, that literally everything
00:03:25.060 is just about keeping us from reproducing? And then we've got immigration. It's sort of taking up the 0.97
00:03:33.680 slack. Here's a question for you. If American reproduction was high, and the average family were having
00:03:42.660 three or four kids, would we have immigration? Or are they actually connected? And that the suppression
00:03:50.340 of natural reproduction, is it in any way connected to immigration? I hope not. Everything's connected,
00:04:00.800 you say. Seems connected. I'm going to put, all right. Hmm. I don't know why I'm getting comments
00:04:10.960 on locals on my phone just fine, but not on my iPad. Well, I don't know what that's about.
00:04:18.100 Let's see if I can put you here and I can see it. I'm going to fix this one way or another.
00:04:26.180 This is called, this is called a kludge. Do you know what a kludge is? It's where you need a tissue box
00:04:37.540 to put your second device, because your first device is not working.
00:04:44.000 You know what's the worst thing about that? Does anybody have this issue? The biggest problem with the
00:04:52.880 iPhone, and I actually hate Apple for this. I hate them. It's the same with the iPads,
00:05:01.160 that the case is slippery, and you always want to prop it up on something, and it does this.
00:05:08.100 It just slides. Are you telling me that nobody thought of putting a little rubber on one side
00:05:14.200 so that it doesn't slide on the table surface? Am I right? It's like this gigantic FU
00:05:24.000 that the phone is slippery and it breaks. Who would make a slippery phone? I mean,
00:05:30.360 just think about that. Something that's meant to hold in your hand,
00:05:33.340 and they designed it to be slippery, or something that you set up on a surface and then made it
00:05:39.920 slippery. Not just slippery, but like super slippery, like extra slippery. Oh, well.
00:05:48.460 Anyway, Club Random, which is Bill Maher's extra show, I guess he had Roseanne on, and I thought
00:05:55.960 this was like, I thought it was a deep fake, because what I'm going to tell you I didn't think was
00:06:02.500 possible. But Bill Maher had never heard of MKUltra, Klaus Schwab, or the WEF. Roseanne brought up all of
00:06:16.140 those things, and he said, what are those things? Now, maybe because they were, you know, inebriated,
00:06:24.080 maybe he just forgot. Is that possible? But you know, here's some of the other things he didn't know
00:06:30.360 until recently. Until recently, he didn't know that the fine people hoax was a hoax.
00:06:36.940 He seems to know it now, but he didn't know that for, I think, years. And I think he still believes
00:06:42.840 in the bleach drinking hoax, or maybe the injecting disinfectants hoax. Now, I've heard him say,
00:06:51.720 also Club Random, that he doesn't sample many sources of news. Is that the whole problem?
00:06:58.700 Do you think the whole problem that we imagine is a left versus right is just that one side doesn't
00:07:06.440 see the news? Is that all that's happening? One side just doesn't watch news. It feels like it.
00:07:14.660 It feels like that's all that's happening. I would love to have a show where you bring in people from
00:07:22.720 both sides. And somebody tells them the news that they've missed. Did you know there was a thing
00:07:29.020 called MKUltra? What? Let me test my audience. How many of you do not know what MKUltra is? Go.
00:07:38.660 How many do not know what MKUltra is or was?
00:07:42.860 Oh, there are some people who do not. Oh. Oh, interesting. What if few people do not?
00:07:55.800 MKUltra, let's see if I get it right, was a CIA program to brainwash Americans. Is that right?
00:08:03.520 That's a reasonable explanation. It is no longer in place. Well, let's just say a thing by that name
00:08:13.680 is no longer in place. But you didn't know that? You didn't know that the CIA, it's a documented,
00:08:21.760 well-understood thing. That they had a program to brainwash Americans through the, and they would 0.89
00:08:27.900 use the media to do it. It's old. It was canceled. But it's obviously back in some form. So we're
00:08:37.040 currently under a CIA brainwashing umbrella, obviously. Yeah, I would say that fits into the
00:08:45.020 category of obviously. Right? So I'm not even going to show you a source or try to argue it. It's
00:08:54.080 like really, really obvious if you pay attention to the news.
00:08:57.900 So, yeah, a lot of the things you see are just CIA ops. They're not organic news in any
00:09:05.740 sense. You didn't know that? I want to test this again. Maybe it was just the name of it
00:09:14.040 that you were not familiar with. How many of you are not familiar with the fact that it's
00:09:19.820 documented history? Nobody disagrees. There's no historian on the left or the right who would
00:09:25.840 disagree with us. This is a well-established fact that the CIA had a program to brainwash
00:09:34.260 Americans. Right? So how many of you didn't know that our own intelligence people consciously
00:09:41.980 and with approval brainwashed the citizens? Wow. That's really shocking. I didn't know that
00:09:50.960 so many people didn't know that. You know, if you didn't know that, nothing makes sense.
00:09:58.320 Some of you might be having a moment right now where you say to yourself, wait a minute,
00:10:04.320 if the CIA, and we know it, has been brainwashing Americans for decades, and we're pretty sure they're
00:10:12.060 still doing it, just maybe not under that name, wouldn't that mean that everything we see in the
00:10:17.160 news is manufactured? Exactly. Everything you see in the news is manufactured. Not the news itself,
00:10:26.480 although in some cases that's manufactured too. Sometimes the news itself is manufactured.
00:10:32.340 I don't know if you knew that. You know, people create situations that will create news that's favorable
00:10:37.640 to. So, but just imagine how different the world looks if you know that you're in the middle of a
00:10:46.580 gigantic brainwashing operation. If you didn't know that, nothing makes sense. For those of you who
00:10:56.300 didn't know that, how did you explain everything you're seeing? How did anything make sense if you
00:11:06.040 didn't know that you're in a brainwashing operation and that it's well documented and well understood?
00:11:12.800 That's interesting. All right. So I guess it wasn't just Bill Maher, but I would say that for those of
00:11:18.760 you who also didn't know that or didn't know who Klaus Schwab is or the WEF, if you don't know those
00:11:24.880 things, I don't know that you should be talking about politics. Those are pretty basic, really basic things.
00:11:36.040 Yeah, Roseanne was the guest. I don't know if she explained them, but she brought it up and he said he didn't
00:11:42.040 know. All right. I'm loving the activism of investor Bill Ackman, who went to Harvard, and now he is very,
00:11:51.120 very unhappy with Harvard about their anti-Semitism, as you can say. And he has discovered from his own research,
00:12:00.100 he talked to a bunch of professors. So first he wrote a big public letter to the president of Harvard,
00:12:06.580 but he says she didn't respond. And it was about their anti-Semitism. So he went and talked to a bunch
00:12:12.100 of professors, and then he gave the verbatim quotes from the professors. Oh my God.
00:12:19.760 So Bill Ackman finds out that for many years, the policy was explicitly, don't hire white guys.
00:12:32.780 No straight white men, just period. And he acted surprised.
00:12:39.700 Is there anybody here who didn't know that straight white men were being discriminated
00:12:46.120 against in college professor hiring? Is there anybody who didn't know that?
00:12:51.980 Maybe, I don't know, maybe Bill Maher found out this year.
00:12:56.300 But here's the funny thing. So it's a must read. I mean, you really need to read Bill Ackman's
00:13:03.380 post on it. I also reposted it. So he goes through the details of what's wrong,
00:13:11.240 the racism in Harvard. And you could tell that Harvard is just dead. I mean, it looks like it's
00:13:19.020 something you would tell your kids to stay away from at all costs. Like, honestly, that's not an
00:13:24.940 exaggeration. With no exaggeration, once you understand what the situation is there, you would
00:13:31.940 tell your kids to stay away from that at all costs. Because they would come back broken after that
00:13:38.360 experience. Yeah. But here's the thing that I don't think Bill Ackman and maybe his readers don't
00:13:44.520 understand. This is the current situation for at least 30 years. At least 30 years. A little more.
00:13:54.260 I think it's closer to 40. But every major American corporation is discriminating against
00:14:01.460 straight white men and has for 40 years. Just grossly, directly, overtly, publicly discriminated
00:14:11.700 against straight white men. Yeah. And certainly that happened to me.
00:14:17.900 So maybe a little bit of truth is seeping out. There's Colin Rugg was reporting that apparently
00:14:30.380 Harvard is now under federal investigation and may lose its federal funding for discriminating
00:14:36.240 against Jewish students. To which I say, wait, Harvard has federal funding? To me, that was 0.99
00:14:47.660 the surprising part of the story. I thought they had gigantic endowments. Why are we giving
00:14:54.820 them money to discriminate against me? Really, my government is paying an entity that very clearly
00:15:04.320 would never hire me. Are you kidding? Why did they get any money? That's crazy. There's no way the
00:15:14.880 federal government should be giving my tax dollars to the people who are overtly discriminating against
00:15:20.320 me in an unconstitutional way. Now, you know, the more immediate problem is they're being anti-Semitic.
00:15:28.000 But you didn't even need the anti-Semitism. Why is the government giving them money to discriminate?
00:15:37.840 I don't get that at all. It's not like they're going to run out of money if they don't get money
00:15:41.520 from the government. So that's pretty alarming. But it's weird because it's the Biden administration
00:15:50.880 that's doing the investigation. So I guess when the discrimination was against Jewish students,
00:15:59.200 the Biden administration had to act. But 40 years of discriminating against white men,
00:16:06.080 fuck off. Nobody cared.
00:16:08.400 I don't know. I've got a little problem that it's only a problem now. Last 40 years.
00:16:19.600 Screw those white guys. Anyway, Christopher Rufo says that left-wing professors are leaving Florida.
00:16:29.680 I guess this is a known thing. So because DeSantis is trying to unwoke the colleges in Florida,
00:16:38.960 the Florida professors are saying, screw this, we're going to go where we can discriminate in peace.
00:16:45.360 So they're going to leave because they couldn't discriminate.
00:16:51.120 To which Florida says, yay.
00:16:56.560 Florida might be the only place you can get a good education in the future. Maybe Texas too.
00:17:01.680 Well, in Philadelphia, there was an anti-Semitic candlelight march. You could call it pro-Palestine, 0.99
00:17:12.240 Palestine. But they stopped in front of a Jewish business that had nothing to do with anything.
00:17:17.040 It was just a Jewish-owned business. It had nothing to do with the Middle East. It had nothing to do with Hamas or Israel. Just a Jewish business.
00:17:26.320 And they decided to gather around it and say scary shit. This is just totally anti-Semitic behavior.
00:17:34.880 Now, what's interesting is that the Philadelphia Inquirer writes about this, you know, like it's just a protest.
00:17:43.680 What exactly is the difference between this and the Charlottesville neo-Nazis?
00:17:48.960 Let's see. One had candlelight and the other had torches, but basically a burning thing.
00:17:58.240 They marched in an organized fashion at night, similar. And they said they didn't want Jews to replace them. 0.95
00:18:06.720 That's basically the same protest. Right? Literally, the Palestinians are complaining about Jews replacing them. 0.89
00:18:20.400 So I would ask Peter Doocy to ask the White House spokesperson if she thinks there were any fine people in the group.
00:18:31.360 Isn't that a fair question? Just ask. Do you think there were any fine people in the group that surrounded the Jewish business and were clearly acting in an anti-Semitic way?
00:18:47.840 Were any of them good people? Fine people? Let's ask the administration. Let's get them on record.
00:18:53.520 By the way, did anybody watch, was it Representative Tlaib and Dana Bash? Dana Bash was like going at her hard for her alleged, you know, let's say, insensitivity or, you know, anti-Semitic behavior, some would say. 0.99
00:19:13.360 Did anybody see that? The way it was reported on social media looked exactly opposite of what actually happened to me.
00:19:21.220 Here's what I saw.
00:19:25.060 Representative Tlaib, are you, do you care about, you know, the rape that happened in Israel?
00:19:33.140 Oh, yes. You know, rape is terrible. Hamas should be totally condemned for that. 0.98
00:19:38.940 Okay, but why aren't you saying enough about the rapes that are happening?
00:19:44.840 Well, I just did. I, you know, totally condemn it. You know, rape is terrible.
00:19:48.580 You know, completely at a line. Terrible.
00:19:53.200 Dana Bash said, okay, but still, I'm not, it seems like you're forgiving the rape.
00:19:59.060 No, rape is terrible. Hamas is a terrorist organization.
00:20:05.320 I didn't know what I was watching.
00:20:08.080 Oh, was it JPL? So it wasn't Tlaib.
00:20:12.920 Was it, who was it?
00:20:15.860 Did I have the wrong, wrong representative?
00:20:18.580 Krimleya JPL. Oh, it was JPL. Okay.
00:20:24.180 So I got my representatives mixed up.
00:20:28.240 But here's what I saw.
00:20:29.780 I saw her getting the Trump treatment. 1.00
00:20:33.260 You know what I mean?
00:20:34.840 The Trump treatment is where you ask him to say something, and then he says it.
00:20:38.620 And then you act like he didn't just say it.
00:20:40.680 And you, and you say, why won't you say it?
00:20:43.740 And then he'll say it.
00:20:45.260 And then you say, but why won't you say it?
00:20:47.600 Why can't you just say it?
00:20:49.040 And then you'll say, this is the third time I just said it.
00:20:51.880 I'll say it a third time.
00:20:53.680 Like, what is wrong with Dana Bash?
00:20:56.540 And then the news reports it like she didn't say it, because Dana Bash pretended she didn't hear it or something.
00:21:04.940 It was the damnedest thing.
00:21:06.420 Now, I'm not supporting the guest.
00:21:10.240 I'm just saying that I didn't see her being treated fairly at all.
00:21:16.060 And that's why CNN, weird.
00:21:18.160 Didn't expect that.
00:21:21.040 Anyway, there's a little viral video going around of the following people saying, F you.
00:21:28.680 You know, Dana White, somebody questioned why he was going to do a Bud Light sponsorship.
00:21:33.620 And he said he just told them to fuck you.
00:21:36.260 And we know that Tucker Carlson recently had a quote where people were, you know, maybe trying to censor him.
00:21:43.980 And he said, fuck you.
00:21:45.860 And there was Elon Musk, who recently was in a group where he was at an event.
00:21:51.380 He was asked about the advertisers pulling out.
00:21:54.860 And he said, if you're trying to blackmail me, fuck you.
00:21:58.200 Now, the idea behind this viral video is that the, you know, sort of the internet dads are just finally reaching their limit.
00:22:10.340 And they're just saying, F you.
00:22:12.300 Here's the thing that really bothered me about this.
00:22:16.900 I feel like I was the OG.
00:22:19.780 I feel like I didn't get enough credit.
00:22:21.520 Maybe I worded it wrong.
00:22:25.780 Did I word it wrong?
00:22:27.900 Get the fuck away instead of fuck you. 1.00
00:22:31.060 They're not that different.
00:22:33.180 They're not that different, if you think about it.
00:22:36.240 No.
00:22:36.860 I may have just said it wrong.
00:22:40.080 Anyway.
00:22:40.520 So, as you know, the bad guys, the brainwashers on the Democrat side, have clearly decided that their attack against Trump is going to be, he's a dictator, a tyrant, who's trying to destroy your democracy.
00:23:01.880 Oh, did Jordan Peterson do it, too?
00:23:07.580 So, you've seen it already, right?
00:23:09.560 You know, all the usual suspects, like the Atlantic and the Washington Post, basically all the most disreputable publications.
00:23:18.300 They're already signaling to the rest that it's all going to be about Trump's insurrectionist tyrant, wants to end democracy, right?
00:23:28.360 So, what's the best response to that?
00:23:33.200 If the biggest attack against you is you're going to try to end democracy, what should Trump do?
00:23:39.560 Well, turns out that he's doing exactly what I would have advised him to do.
00:23:47.040 Something that maybe only Trump can do this well.
00:23:52.480 He's going to accuse them of the same thing.
00:23:55.760 He's going to say he's fighting to regain democracy against the weaponization of the justice system.
00:24:01.360 Now, you might say to yourself, but he's just saying, you know, it's not me, it's you.
00:24:07.980 Isn't that weak?
00:24:09.720 Nope.
00:24:12.060 Here's what he needs to do, and we'll definitely get it done.
00:24:16.420 He needs to make sure that everybody involved in the race is calling everybody else a dictator.
00:24:21.620 He needs to make sure that it's the only thing anybody's saying.
00:24:27.720 You're a dictator.
00:24:28.580 You're a dictator.
00:24:29.220 You're a dictator.
00:24:30.060 But what about this dictator, dictator, dictator?
00:24:32.620 But what about you, tyrant, tyrant, tyrant?
00:24:34.880 You know, Biden's a tyrant.
00:24:35.820 Well, Trump's a tyrant.
00:24:37.060 But Trump's more of a tyrant or less of a tyrant?
00:24:39.740 Is he more of a dictator or less of a dictator?
00:24:41.680 Which one is against democracy and which one is protecting democracy?
00:24:45.740 And eventually, what will happen to the viewers?
00:24:52.580 They will become snow blind.
00:24:56.140 You know what snow blind is?
00:24:58.340 If you go outside and it's really snowy, but it's bright because of the reflection.
00:25:03.680 It's just all snow.
00:25:06.200 You can't see where one snow bank ends and the other one begins.
00:25:10.960 It's like, ah, all I can see is everything's so white out.
00:25:14.340 I'm snow blind.
00:25:16.640 So I think Trump could pull this off because he has so much material to work with.
00:25:22.000 He's got, you know, 91 bullshit accounts against him.
00:25:25.740 He's got the brainwashing industrial complex has now been fully identified.
00:25:33.440 I think we all understand that the J6 thing was a hoax. 1.00
00:25:38.200 I think he can go right at them.
00:25:41.280 Go twice as hard as they go because he gets more attention, right?
00:25:45.740 So Biden is going to have to use surrogates because he's not going to be doing much.
00:25:51.900 But you want to hear the best part?
00:25:53.580 Snopes, this is how much the left don't want Biden to be the nominee.
00:26:02.320 Snopes fact-checked Biden for saying that Trump wanted to end democracy as we know it.
00:26:09.000 And Snopes, a famously, you know, Democrat-friendly fact-checker, said he didn't say anything like that.
00:26:19.940 Snopes.
00:26:20.460 If you don't know the players, that doesn't make as much sense.
00:26:26.020 But for those of you who kind of know who are the biased players in the political universe, if Snopes goes right at it, and here's the thing.
00:26:36.300 Snopes said, they didn't just fact-check Biden.
00:26:39.860 That would be unremarkable.
00:26:41.820 Because he's the president.
00:26:43.060 So they've got to do some fact-checking.
00:26:45.040 And some of the facts, I'm sure they've fact-checked him before and found out, you know, it wasn't accurate.
00:26:50.520 But we don't care too much about politicians failing the fact-check because it's so often.
00:26:56.100 But when you see Snopes go after the primary claim of Biden, that Trump's a non-democratic candidate, and they just fact-checked his ass.
00:27:09.680 They literally just fact-checked it.
00:27:11.540 No.
00:27:12.440 No, he never said anything like that.
00:27:16.200 There's a lot in that.
00:27:19.580 There's a lot to unpack with the fact that Snopes fact-checked the single greatest claim of the Democrat.
00:27:26.100 That's before they even get started.
00:27:28.360 So I like that.
00:27:31.280 So do you remember in 2015, the knock on Trump is that he was an incompetent clown with no persuasive powers or relevant talents.
00:27:42.480 You remember that, right?
00:27:44.420 2015 wasn't that long ago.
00:27:46.680 And he was the untalented one.
00:27:49.100 He just didn't have any skill.
00:27:50.780 He was just a clown.
00:27:51.460 And now they say that his skills and talents are so impressive that just by the force of his personality and persuasion, he could turn the republic into a dictatorship just by talking.
00:28:05.820 And, of course, what the Democrats believe is that they would round up people and kill them.
00:28:15.720 Well, like that's really going to happen.
00:28:18.340 Okay.
00:28:18.440 Now, you want to hear the strongest argument against Trump becoming a dictator.
00:28:29.540 If you really believe that's true, here's what Republicans need to say in a poll.
00:28:37.120 You need a national poll to ask you this question.
00:28:40.480 Are you a Republican?
00:28:41.600 Yes or no?
00:28:44.560 And then you look at the Republican answers and you say the following question.
00:28:49.760 If Trump tried to get rid of democracy in a real way, would you be willing to kill him to stop it?
00:29:01.040 Would you, as a Republican, be willing to kill him yourself if he actually tried to remove democracy?
00:29:08.260 And the answer is, I would.
00:29:13.460 I would.
00:29:14.400 I love the guy and I would.
00:29:16.440 If he tried to actually destroy, if he tried to actually destroy democracy?
00:29:22.220 Now, why are so many people saying no?
00:29:24.720 Are you saying no that you wouldn't, you would not participate if an actual dictator tried to take over?
00:29:31.720 Or are you saying no to something else?
00:29:33.860 What are all the no's to?
00:29:35.940 I don't know what you're disagreeing to.
00:29:38.260 All right.
00:29:39.300 But my point is this.
00:29:41.820 I don't think Democrats understand the most basic thing about a Republican.
00:29:46.520 The single most basic thing.
00:29:49.840 You tell me if I'm wrong about this.
00:29:51.640 The most basic thing that makes a Republican.
00:29:54.520 We don't care who tries to be. 1.00
00:29:56.840 I'll say we.
00:29:57.700 I'm not a Republican.
00:29:58.840 But for this context, I agree.
00:30:02.180 We don't care who it is who's trying to become the dictator.
00:30:05.920 We're still going to kill you.
00:30:07.120 Am I wrong?
00:30:10.240 We don't care who it is.
00:30:12.060 We don't care if you were friendly in the past.
00:30:15.260 I don't care what cool things you said.
00:30:17.380 I don't care how funny your tweets are.
00:30:20.300 If you try to become a dictator, we're going to kill you.
00:30:22.680 Greg says I'm wrong.
00:30:27.860 Now, you think that the Republicans were actually pro-dictator.
00:30:33.140 You think that's the thing?
00:30:34.000 Now, are you Democrats or something?
00:30:40.560 I can't believe there's anybody who owns a gun who believes that they wouldn't take out a dictator if they had a shot at it.
00:30:48.700 Not murder?
00:30:49.880 Oh, I see what you're saying.
00:30:51.560 Oh, I see.
00:30:51.940 I think I understand your objections.
00:30:55.080 You're saying that you would use a constitutional process, right?
00:30:58.140 Is that what you're saying?
00:30:59.740 That you would never do murder, you would just do a constitutional process?
00:31:04.320 Is that where the disagreement is?
00:31:06.860 Oh, okay.
00:31:07.500 Okay.
00:31:08.100 Okay.
00:31:08.440 But you're cheating on the question.
00:31:10.000 If you saw things going a little bit undemocratic, then of course you're not going to murder him.
00:31:19.220 You're going to work within the system.
00:31:21.180 But I'm talking about, let me give you a specific example.
00:31:26.480 Let's say that Trump successfully jailed every elected Democrat.
00:31:34.920 All of them.
00:31:37.960 You'd be okay with that?
00:31:39.100 And you would fight it constitutionally?
00:31:42.660 Is that how you would fight that?
00:31:46.380 Constitutionally.
00:31:47.380 You would fight that with lawyers.
00:31:50.600 No, you wouldn't.
00:31:51.920 You would not.
00:31:53.400 Well, you could stay home.
00:31:55.800 You could stay home, but Republicans would go in there and slaughter all those in charge.
00:32:01.200 There would be enough armed Republicans that they would free all the Democrats. 0.53
00:32:06.060 The Republicans, I'll say it again, the Republicans would free the Democrats.
00:32:11.660 They would fix that shit.
00:32:12.640 My audience is captured.
00:32:18.120 Maybe it is.
00:32:20.100 I don't know.
00:32:20.780 But I take your point as a serious one.
00:32:25.640 You don't want to talk about violence when there's any other option.
00:32:30.200 We all agree on that, right?
00:32:31.340 If you have a nonviolent path to correct what you thought was a lack of democracy or a democratic process in the Republic, you would definitely, definitely want to do the nonviolent one.
00:32:43.040 So, when I come up with a scenario in which there's no nonviolent path, you know, you're kind of cheating when you say, but I want the nonviolent path.
00:32:53.320 I kind of eliminated that from the question.
00:32:56.360 But, you would be right in saying it's a judgment call.
00:33:00.940 You'd resist but not kill.
00:33:03.040 Well, it's a good thing there are people who are willing to kill.
00:33:05.040 Well, when I see how many people would resist but wouldn't get violent, it makes me glad that there are other people.
00:33:15.900 Let's see.
00:33:18.480 Let me do that.
00:33:20.560 I'm going to see if I can restart locals.
00:33:27.280 I'm going to restart it on my iPad and see if that works.
00:33:29.900 Now, will that kill the—I don't know if that'll work.
00:33:35.980 I can see the comments on my phone, so we'll keep going this way.
00:33:42.800 All right.
00:33:44.280 So, yeah, I think—and, by the way, Trump's plan is to do exactly what I said.
00:33:50.000 His plan is to go after Biden for being undemocratic and weaponizing the justice system.
00:33:55.520 And I believe that is exactly the right approach.
00:33:59.780 So, that's good.
00:34:01.500 I guess there's a—we're getting closer to a Biden impeachment probe, how a speaker, Mike Johnson, says.
00:34:09.860 How would you like to be running for president?
00:34:12.920 We can ask Trump.
00:34:14.240 How would you like to be running for president while there's an impeachment probe going on at the same time?
00:34:22.880 That's tough.
00:34:23.580 Does anybody think that Biden could win in a straight-up election?
00:34:29.020 Do any of you believe that?
00:34:34.420 I'm looking at Owen's comment.
00:34:37.080 The military would remove Trump if he went full dictator.
00:34:40.700 Well, I don't know if it's the military or the Republicans in the military.
00:34:48.320 Yeah, yeah, you're right.
00:34:49.440 I think the military would take care of him, probably.
00:34:53.580 I don't know for sure, but probably.
00:34:57.660 All right, so, yeah, so that's—Biden's got some problems.
00:35:01.580 There's a new poll.
00:35:03.680 It shows that DeSantis and Nikki Haley are kind of close to each other in second place behind Trump.
00:35:09.360 But here's the question about a VP.
00:35:14.820 So there's a growing movement for, at least online—I don't know how much the country thinks this—but online.
00:35:23.960 people want Tucker Carlson to be Trump's VP pick. 0.50
00:35:29.500 What do you think of that?
00:35:31.840 Tucker Carlson as a VP pick.
00:35:34.920 I'm going to give you a better idea.
00:35:43.900 Tucker Carlson as the spokesperson for the president.
00:35:52.060 Tucker Carlson as the spokesperson.
00:35:55.200 The Jean-Pierre job.
00:35:57.020 You know, the Corinne Jean-Pierre.
00:36:04.860 You know, you don't think you'd like to see Tucker Carlson destroying the media every day?
00:36:12.700 He'd be amazing.
00:36:13.620 Yeah, the press secretary.
00:36:17.180 I think he'd be amazing with that.
00:36:18.980 I think it's more of a stretch to imagine him in a governing role, because I think that would be a waste.
00:36:25.720 But in a communication role, oh, my God.
00:36:29.680 Oh, my God.
00:36:30.860 Now, I doubt he would do it, because I think his role in the world is too important at the moment.
00:36:38.320 You know, he'd be—I think it would be a downgrade.
00:36:41.260 But, wow, would that be fun to watch.
00:36:43.620 Wow.
00:36:44.940 Ben Carson would be a terrible choice.
00:36:49.960 I think Ben Carson's, you know, barely sentient.
00:36:53.860 You know, he's just sleepy Ben.
00:36:56.720 Yeah, he doesn't have the energy.
00:36:58.700 He doesn't have the—he doesn't have the Trump energy.
00:37:03.100 I think you need somebody who's got the same kind of energy.
00:37:08.540 Yeah.
00:37:08.980 There's no way Trump's going to pick a low-energy vice president.
00:37:15.320 There's no—there's no way.
00:37:17.620 I mean, Pence was, you know, bland.
00:37:20.300 Well, at least he had energy.
00:37:25.480 All right.
00:37:28.640 There's a report that Jared Kushner and Ivanka organized a private lunch in New York with Qatar's prime minister
00:37:36.620 and some bipartisan Jewish businessmen and billionaires.
00:37:40.440 And some people are saying, wait, what is this private citizen trying to do?
00:37:47.360 You know, is he trying to do foreign policy?
00:37:51.400 To which I say, what exactly are we worried about here?
00:37:55.200 Are we worried that literally the most capable Middle East negotiator and peacemaker might do it again?
00:38:05.080 Who would you want besides Jared Kushner to be on the case?
00:38:09.600 He literally would be the number one person on the planet that I would want engaged in the question of, you know,
00:38:15.580 what do you do next?
00:38:16.720 And, you know, maybe he's more involved in what do you do next?
00:38:20.500 Who knows what they talked about?
00:38:21.840 But certainly getting some kind of notion of what happens later in Gaza would be a good idea.
00:38:29.640 Yeah.
00:38:30.120 So Jared was behind the Abraham Accords.
00:38:33.600 He would be the very best person to be involved in this.
00:38:37.660 Can't imagine anybody more productive.
00:38:41.560 Speaking of productive, Governor Abbott of Texas has signed a law that grants all police officers
00:38:47.480 and every agency authority to arrest illegal immigrants.
00:38:50.360 Well, that's interesting.
00:38:53.040 I never really thought about it.
00:38:54.880 So apparently there are some kinds of police people in a number of agencies that couldn't arrest illegal immigrants.
00:39:03.220 But I guess they can.
00:39:04.480 We'll see if that makes any difference.
00:39:06.920 You know, I do kind of like the fact that Texas never gives up.
00:39:10.940 Have you noticed that?
00:39:12.640 Texas just keeps trying anything they can to handle their immigration problem.
00:39:17.160 And their biggest enemy is just the federal government, which is weird.
00:39:23.120 Yeah.
00:39:25.860 Well, Elon Musk cryptically posted this.
00:39:32.380 Grow food yourself.
00:39:34.620 And when I first saw it, I was like, grow food yourself.
00:39:38.060 Is this some kind of comment on our food system?
00:39:42.120 And then, you know, and then I thought, oh, maybe it's because his brother does indoor farming.
00:39:48.260 Like he's got an indoor farm company, Square Root.
00:39:52.000 And so I thought, maybe it's about food.
00:39:54.500 But then I realized it's because GFY is trending.
00:39:59.760 Go fuck yourself.
00:40:00.980 So it took me a while to figure out that GFY and grow food yourself are the same.
00:40:12.040 All right.
00:40:13.060 Cenk Uyger, if that's how I say it, Cenk Uyger, who's running for president as a Democrat, has no choice, has no chance because it won't even be a Florida primary.
00:40:24.500 He says, this is what class warfare looks like.
00:40:29.880 He's talking about the Republicans want to, I guess, cut the capital, no, cut the state tax.
00:40:38.260 And he says, the wealthy use their bought politicians to attract as much wealth as possible and never pay their fair share.
00:40:45.760 Serving the rich is the whole point of the Republican Party.
00:40:48.120 Now, you know what economists, who's the economist who said this first, so it doesn't sound like I came up with it?
00:41:03.160 I'm blanking on his name.
00:41:06.420 The economist who said, what is the fair share, what is someone else's fair share of your money?
00:41:13.560 You know the quote, right?
00:41:14.860 No, not Milton Friedman.
00:41:20.700 I'm trying not to say the famous, yeah, there it is, Thomas Sowell.
00:41:24.460 I wanted to see how long I could go without saying black.
00:41:30.480 Because if I'd said the black economist, you would have said immediately Thomas Sowell. 0.93
00:41:36.180 But since there was nothing black about the quote, and he's a famous economist,
00:41:41.620 I wondered if I could just say economist, and the famous quote, and you'd get it immediately.
00:41:51.160 It took a while.
00:41:52.260 It took you a minute.
00:41:53.700 Yeah, Thomas Sowell is pretty awesome.
00:41:55.760 But yes, that question I think is so insightful.
00:42:00.300 What is the fair share of someone else's money?
00:42:03.440 That really is a conversation stopper, isn't it?
00:42:08.060 There's no such thing as a fair share of someone else's money.
00:42:13.140 That doesn't even make sense.
00:42:15.840 But Democrats are selling that.
00:42:19.340 I was taught that my fair share of someone else's money is zero.
00:42:23.640 Was anybody taught differently?
00:42:25.120 My fair share of somebody else's money is zero.
00:42:30.460 Zero.
00:42:31.900 All right.
00:42:33.860 Liz Cheney is being her Liz Cheney self.
00:42:37.620 And she says that nobody who actually supports the Constitution can also support Donald Trump.
00:42:44.560 Because he's a dictator tyrant.
00:42:46.980 He's a dictator tyrant.
00:42:48.420 To which I say, can we stop treating people like her, like they have a political opinion?
00:42:55.900 You take one look at her face, and you see mental illness.
00:43:01.580 That's all it is.
00:43:03.180 It's just mental illness.
00:43:05.120 There's no way we should treat this seriously.
00:43:08.580 There should be a way to just sort the mentally ill and the drunk from the people who have something like a political opinion.
00:43:16.400 Why are we having conversations about the political opinion of somebody who's clearly in mental decline?
00:43:23.200 Clearly.
00:43:26.200 All right.
00:43:29.160 Jonathan Haidt is talking about on X.
00:43:33.860 A new study shows that TikTok and Instagram trap young people.
00:43:37.680 Meaning that young people, if you ask them, they say they might like to quit those things.
00:43:43.480 They feel there's some damaging parts to it.
00:43:46.820 But they can't because all their friends are on it, and you just can't not be on it.
00:43:51.980 So that what we imagine is entertainment turned into something else.
00:43:58.340 It's sort of a sticky trap.
00:44:01.300 So even though we tell ourselves, well, they could just stop doing it if they wanted to, they really can't.
00:44:06.660 It's like sugar, salt, fat addicts you to bad foods.
00:44:11.260 The algorithms addict you to this content.
00:44:14.740 And if you're a child, no, you can't escape brainwashing.
00:44:18.620 That's not a thing.
00:44:20.420 Children can't escape brainwashing. 0.58
00:44:23.020 Adults can't do it.
00:44:24.040 There's no way a child is going to do it.
00:44:25.400 So, you know, and then they said, but they forfeited the chance to pay their own money to have everyone get off the app.
00:44:38.060 So not just themselves.
00:44:39.680 They don't want to do that.
00:44:40.920 But if they could pay their own money to get everybody off the app and make it disappear, they would.
00:44:47.100 Think about that.
00:44:48.100 The actual users of TikTok, if they could, would ban it for everybody.
00:44:55.200 Just as long as it's not only them who is getting off it.
00:44:59.080 That's a real big deal.
00:45:00.600 Because it means you could ban it.
00:45:03.240 Not only that, but I'll bet you if you banned TikTok, you would find that young people thanked you after the fact.
00:45:10.540 They wouldn't know it.
00:45:11.940 They wouldn't know it before it happens, maybe.
00:45:14.320 They'd be like, oh, my favorite app.
00:45:16.520 But I'll bet you a month after you banned it, people would say, you know, I feel a lot better.
00:45:21.800 Unless they just went and used Instagram instead, I suppose.
00:45:25.460 All right.
00:45:25.960 So TikTok is a severe health risk to young people and existential threat.
00:45:32.940 If you think that TikTok is a free speech issue, you probably also think Harvard is a real college.
00:45:40.720 Am I right?
00:45:41.120 I just wanted to test that out.
00:45:47.280 I want to start using Harvard as a punchline.
00:45:51.340 You can do this with lots of things.
00:45:54.440 You can say, if you believe that, well, you probably also believe Harvard is a real college.
00:46:00.460 Am I right?
00:46:01.980 Try that at home.
00:46:02.940 It might work.
00:46:03.380 Well, here's another example of if you don't know the players, you don't understand the story.
00:46:10.700 This is really important.
00:46:12.340 If you see a story in the news and you think the story is the story, you're going to be all confused about what's happening in the world.
00:46:20.880 Because the story is not the story.
00:46:22.880 You know what the story is?
00:46:24.380 Who wrote it?
00:46:25.360 Who wrote it and who they're connected to, who they used to work with, and who they're married to.
00:46:32.880 That's always the story.
00:46:34.840 The story is never the content of the article.
00:46:38.000 It's always the author and what narrative they are pushing because of who they're connected to.
00:46:43.320 Here's a good example.
00:46:44.660 Glenn Greenwald is an essential follow on X.
00:46:48.580 I call them essential because he's really good at the human part of this, who's connected to whom.
00:46:55.540 Here's one he posted today, and he says, this says everything.
00:46:59.920 Robert Kagan, who is Victoria Newland's husband.
00:47:04.500 How many of you recognize Victoria Newland as a name in the news?
00:47:08.360 Well, some would say she is one of the chief neocons, which are people who like to take over other countries in a war-like fashion
00:47:19.680 because people who make money from war seem to like doing that.
00:47:25.260 So those are the accusations about Victoria Newland.
00:47:28.220 I don't personally know too much about that situation, but those are the accusations people routinely make about her, 0.88
00:47:36.620 that she's sort of the princess of evil.
00:47:42.840 It turns out that Robert Kagan is her husband.
00:47:46.460 So now that you know that she's maybe one of the two chief neocons who are always trying to push for war in other countries, 0.72
00:47:55.920 and now you know that her husband is Robert Kagan, do you know that his job is a Washington Post editor?
00:48:03.520 The Washington Post.
00:48:06.620 The news entity that is most associated with not being real news,
00:48:12.460 meaning that they look like they're owned by intelligence sources or somebody.
00:48:17.460 They have an editor who is actually married to the chief, most famous neocon war princess of all time.
00:48:25.480 And of course, you know, he's part of what is part of the calling Trump a dictator.
00:48:36.280 He's a dictator.
00:48:37.200 He's a dictator.
00:48:38.100 So if you see the Washington Post, and there's an editor there saying that Trump's a dictator,
00:48:44.740 just know that that has nothing to do with any facts.
00:48:47.500 That has to do with who he is and what their other ambitions are.
00:48:52.780 So, and Mike Benz is, he's another great one for the who's connected to who world.
00:49:04.200 And he commented on Glenn Greenwald's post.
00:49:06.900 He said, a lot of people miss the real story here.
00:49:08.720 Kagan's not calling Trump a dictator because he thinks he's a dictator.
00:49:13.980 Kagan's inflating dictator because that kicks in the predicate for the regime change dirty tricks. 0.53
00:49:20.980 Right.
00:49:21.860 If you say Trump will do a bad job as president, well, then all you can do is normal political activity.
00:49:29.140 But if you say he's a dictator, that activates the entire Democrat machine to be able to do anything.
00:49:36.700 You've got to stop the dictator.
00:49:39.840 So it's signaling very clearly to the worst people on the left that there are no limitations to what they can do ethically and morally.
00:49:51.220 Well, the Hamas reported death count, which, how many think that Hamas has an accurate death count?
00:50:00.120 In Gaza.
00:50:01.520 Does anybody think they're telling you the truth?
00:50:04.880 Do we have to do it?
00:50:06.560 You know, do I have to sandwich this one?
00:50:09.060 I'll have to sandwich it.
00:50:10.520 Because this is one of the things that people will take out of context.
00:50:13.900 So before I say the thing, here's the first piece of bread.
00:50:17.960 Nobody in their right mind would believe Hamas' death count.
00:50:21.880 No one in their right mind would believe what Hamas says about the death count.
00:50:26.600 Now that I've said that, that's the first piece of bread.
00:50:29.740 What they say about the death count is it's over 15,000.
00:50:34.660 Now I'm going to put on the second piece of bread.
00:50:37.500 Nobody believes what Hamas says about the death count.
00:50:40.320 Nobody believes what Hamas says about the death count.
00:50:42.940 Did I do that right?
00:50:43.680 Did I put that between the two slices just right?
00:50:48.400 So I can use their death count because I made sure you understand that it's not credible.
00:50:53.640 Here's my point.
00:50:57.780 Did I ever say this publicly?
00:50:59.200 I need a fact check from you, those who have been watching me.
00:51:02.100 Did you hear me say, or did I only say it privately, because I know I said it privately,
00:51:13.480 that Israel would have to keep the death count under 20,000, because 20,000 psychologically feels like too much, right?
00:51:24.620 If somehow the entire death count in Gaza had been 500 people, even if the 500 had been civilians, most of the world would say, oh, that's horrible, and we wish they had not died.
00:51:38.220 But they would have also said, you know, given the situation, what can you do?
00:51:44.620 At 5,000, it's a problem.
00:51:48.460 At 10,000, it's a big problem.
00:51:51.500 But at 20,000, it looks like genocide.
00:51:55.980 Looks like genocide.
00:51:57.560 Oh, sandwich time, sandwich time, sandwich time.
00:52:00.640 I'm not saying it's genocide because nobody believes the Hamas death count. 0.70
00:52:04.680 All right, that's the first piece of bread.
00:52:08.920 But if it reached 20,000, reported,
00:52:12.620 because remember, the news is reporting this.
00:52:16.540 So if Hamas updates it to 20,000,
00:52:19.480 the news will report it.
00:52:21.980 Doesn't mean it's true,
00:52:23.700 but they will report it.
00:52:25.900 And that's going to turn it into a genocide.
00:52:28.960 Oh, another piece of bread.
00:52:30.180 It's not a genocide because the Hamas numbers are not real.
00:52:34.420 The Hamas numbers are not real.
00:52:36.240 They cannot be believed.
00:52:39.340 But the media will report it.
00:52:43.100 If the media reports it,
00:52:45.180 it will become real in people's minds,
00:52:47.840 no matter what the death count is.
00:52:49.940 Do you agree with that point?
00:52:53.700 That if you start hearing that number,
00:52:57.740 you're going to forget it came from Hamas.
00:53:00.340 And it will just sort of become the real number in your mind.
00:53:04.560 Israel will always complain and say it's inflated.
00:53:08.040 But then people are going to say,
00:53:10.380 you know, maybe you inflate numbers too.
00:53:12.120 So they're not going to get any traction in saying it's not real.
00:53:17.580 So let me ask the question.
00:53:19.940 Did anybody ever hear me say in public,
00:53:22.180 because I don't know if I said it in public,
00:53:23.980 that 20,000 was going to be sort of a magic number?
00:53:27.580 Did anybody hear me say that?
00:53:29.660 I'll say it again now if you didn't hear me say it the first time.
00:53:32.820 So what I think, and here's why I base this.
00:53:39.060 Some of the ways that I do prediction is I just say,
00:53:42.780 all right, what would I think in that situation?
00:53:45.640 And so I think of, I just do this, I say,
00:53:48.300 I think of the enormity of the October 7th event.
00:53:52.400 It's just enormous in your head.
00:53:54.900 And then I think, all right,
00:53:56.380 what would be too much based on just how I feel?
00:54:00.780 No logic.
00:54:02.820 No reason, no comparing it to anything, no data.
00:54:07.100 Just how do I feel?
00:54:09.440 And so when I ask myself, how do I feel?
00:54:11.980 10,000, wow, 10,000 is a lot.
00:54:14.900 But that's just war.
00:54:17.480 But when you get to 20,000,
00:54:19.600 my brain starts clicking over.
00:54:22.300 It says 20,000.
00:54:24.160 That's starting to sound like something else.
00:54:28.120 Now, again, sandwich time.
00:54:30.040 None of the Hamas numbers of the dead are credible.
00:54:34.040 So don't believe them.
00:54:35.860 But because that will become the spin that we'll hear forever,
00:54:39.500 it becomes real in the minds of people,
00:54:41.880 the way they treat it.
00:54:45.780 That doesn't make any logical sense.
00:54:47.880 Yeah.
00:54:49.600 So there's no logic to that.
00:54:51.380 Just how people will feel.
00:54:52.740 Anyway.
00:54:57.680 We promise what?
00:55:00.460 It's already really bad.
00:55:02.980 Yes, we know that.
00:55:06.820 You can't do your own research.
00:55:08.560 The most you can do is seek out other people's research.
00:55:12.020 Yeah.
00:55:12.420 I agree with that completely.
00:55:14.320 All right.
00:55:20.080 Yeah.
00:55:20.540 Who's counting is the whole story.
00:55:24.260 Yeah.
00:55:24.720 The media is.
00:55:28.240 The media is repeating the Hamas number,
00:55:31.960 but they don't have any other number.
00:55:38.960 Yeah.
00:55:39.400 Yeah, it's fog of war.
00:55:46.340 All right, ladies and gentlemen,
00:55:47.780 is there any pressing topic that you think I should have talked about?
00:55:51.520 I think we're getting closer and closer to Ukraine winding down.
00:55:57.680 What do you think Putin should do?
00:56:01.980 Let's say the Ukrainian defenses just keep getting ground down.
00:56:09.400 And let's say you reach the point where Putin said,
00:56:12.880 oh, my goodness,
00:56:14.300 the Ukrainians are so ground down that I can just go take Kiev now. 1.00
00:56:20.120 Would he do it?
00:56:22.620 I say no.
00:56:25.040 Because even if Putin thought he had the advantage
00:56:28.640 and he ground them down enough
00:56:30.260 and he had more resources and ammo than they do,
00:56:33.040 at this point,
00:56:34.260 I think keeping what he has
00:56:36.700 and try to bank it
00:56:38.940 would be the smart way to go.
00:56:41.860 So in my opinion,
00:56:43.800 I think the risk of nuclear war
00:56:45.940 or a larger confrontation with Russia
00:56:48.320 at the moment
00:56:50.220 is close to zero.
00:56:51.880 And so far,
00:56:55.500 although I guess the Iranians
00:56:57.460 are getting a little more adventurous,
00:56:59.460 I think it's them,
00:57:00.560 but there have been some missiles
00:57:01.700 that came close to some of our ships
00:57:03.800 in the area, right?
00:57:07.040 So I think they're testing,
00:57:09.280 you know,
00:57:09.880 testing our patients in that area.
00:57:13.580 No NATO?
00:57:16.300 I think that refers to Ukraine, right?
00:57:19.100 Yeah.
00:57:21.880 All right.
00:57:29.140 Taylor Lorenz threads on censorship.
00:57:32.340 I don't know if that situation is.
00:57:38.720 All right.
00:57:39.940 Let's see what else people are saying here.
00:57:44.760 What about Michael Malice?
00:57:46.220 Somebody just mentioned his name.
00:57:51.480 I don't know what the context was.
00:57:54.300 War analysts.
00:57:56.280 Well,
00:57:57.180 have I not been right about everything
00:57:59.060 except that Putin would attack?
00:58:03.400 And I should have been right about that, too.
00:58:06.900 So remember,
00:58:07.720 I keep confessing my worst prediction.
00:58:10.780 My worst prediction was that Putin would attack
00:58:15.900 or would not attack Ukraine.
00:58:19.660 And then, you know,
00:58:20.320 even when he had his forces on the border,
00:58:23.220 I would say,
00:58:23.940 he's not going to do it.
00:58:24.660 That'd be crazy.
00:58:26.420 So it's the most wrong I've been.
00:58:28.920 But what have we learned recently?
00:58:30.540 We've learned recently
00:58:33.440 that at the very beginning of the war,
00:58:35.820 there was a push to not have a war.
00:58:39.900 And that the reason we had the war 0.97
00:58:42.540 probably was us.
00:58:45.060 In other words,
00:58:46.500 if Putin had been left to his own devices,
00:58:49.700 it was just up to him,
00:58:51.200 probably there wouldn't have been a war
00:58:52.660 because we would have negotiated,
00:58:55.500 you know,
00:58:55.700 he would put pressure on to negotiate.
00:58:57.820 Maybe we would have agreed
00:58:59.580 not to move NATO into Ukraine or something.
00:59:02.580 So I was completely wrong.
00:59:05.860 Well, you can't get any closer to being right,
00:59:08.200 meaning all we had to do is make a deal
00:59:11.160 and there would have been no war.
00:59:19.360 All right.
00:59:21.600 Blaming Putin again.
00:59:23.500 Is that what you heard, Greg?
00:59:25.360 Did you hear me blame Putin?
00:59:29.140 Because I was literally the opposite
00:59:30.880 of what I just said.
00:59:32.780 Literally the opposite.
00:59:36.300 What's wrong with your brain?
00:59:37.700 Are you drunk already, Greg?
00:59:40.960 I think Greg's drunk.
00:59:44.980 Clarify.
00:59:45.940 I just told you.
00:59:47.000 The story is that the United States
00:59:49.680 and Great Britain
00:59:51.340 kept NATO
00:59:52.920 from making peace.
00:59:55.760 How's that?
00:59:57.520 How's that Putin's fault?
01:00:01.860 So,
01:00:02.920 try to catch up, Greg.
01:00:04.040 Everybody else is up to date.
01:00:08.260 All right.
01:00:12.220 All right.
01:00:12.840 I think that we've done everything
01:00:14.320 we needed to do,
01:00:15.140 so thank you on the YouTube platform.
01:00:24.960 And I'll talk to you tomorrow.
01:00:27.660 Thanks for coming.
